Chapter 1084 – I support Mayor Jiang’s suggestion

Party Committee Meeting.

Jiang Fangfang started a war with Meng’s faction.

Meng Rui’s men were frowning and looking angry, while Mayor Jiang remained emotionless.

One side is angry, and the other side is calm.

It felt like punching a bag of wool.

The Party Committee members had worked together for years and knew Mayor Jiang well. She did not show any reactions whenever they had differences during the meeting. She will insist on her ways regardless of what others say, and nothing will change her mind.

Dong Xuebing was amused and could not tell what Mayor Jiang was thinking. This was the first time he had encountered such an interesting meeting.

“Secretary Meng is right. We must think of the bigger picture.”

“Mayor Jiang, the City, and Provincial Governments could not issue funds to us. It’s impossible to get it from the Central Government.”

“That’s right. You will be wasting your time and transportation costs. This will be a waste of money.”

Asking the Central Government for assistance differs from asking the Province or the City Government. Zhen Shui County falls under the City jurisdiction, and there’s nothing wrong with asking them for funds. It’s OK to ask the Provincial Government if it was Secretary Meng or Mayor Jiang. However, the Central Government is different. The Finance Ministry leaders might not want to meet a County Leader. Their staff will block anyone trying to meet the leaders, and they might not even get to enter the lobby.

Jiang Fangfang was adamant regardless of what others said. “I will not agree to let anyone use the education fund.”

Secretary Meng got frustrated. “Let’s vote.”

Everyone felt Mayor Jiang was asking for trouble. The committee would vote whenever the top two leaders had different opinions, and she would embarrass herself. After all, almost everyone at the meeting is Secretary Meng’s man.

Everyone knew the result of the vote, as this was not the first time it had happened.

Dong Xuebing looked at them and considered his vote carefully. Although he agreed with Jiang Fangfang and felt they should not touch the fund reserved for children’s education, he could not vote for her. She would get one vote from Chu Peng and herself at most. He would be seen as trying to stand on her side if he voted for her suggestion. Yao Cui was right. He should join Secretary Meng’s side or stay neutral. Voting for Jiang Fangfang is asking for trouble.

Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang did not matter as they would vote for their suggestions.

Deputy Secretary Zhang Wanshui started first. “I agree with Secretary Meng’s suggestion.”

Secretary Meng has two votes.

County Party Committee Office Department Chief Jiang Hai said. “I support Secretary Meng’s suggestion.”

Secretary Meng has three votes.

Publicity Department Minister, Cheng Fuguang, said. “I support Secretary Meng.”

Secretary Meng has four votes.

Organization Department Minister Liao Haiwei added. “Let’s use the education fund to tide us over first.”

Secretary Meng has five votes.

Deputy Mayor Ci Biyong said. “I agree with Secretary Meng’s suggestion.”

Secretary Meng has six votes.

Six votes are the majority for the eleven Committee Members, and there’s no point in asking the rest.

However, all the members must express their views during a vote.

United Front Work Department Minister, Jiang Xiangrong, said. “I give up.”

Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Pu An said. “I will not express my views too.”

No one was surprised when both men gave up. They were not on any side and were neutral for the past two years.

Only the Political and Legal Secretary, Public Secretary Bureau Chief, Chu Peng, and Dong Xuebing had not cast their votes.

Dong Xuebing was prepared to give up. He does not want to get involved in the political rivalry.

The result was finalized, and everyone looked at Chu Peng, waiting for him to support Mayor Jiang.

To everyone’s surprise, Chu Peng said. “I give up.”

Jiang Fangfang looked at Chu Peng.

Chu Peng lowered his head and did not say anything.

Everyone, except for Secretary Meng, was surprised. Secretary Meng seemed to know this would happen and did not appear surprised.

Why?

Why did Chief Chu switch factions suddenly?

Although Chu Peng did not vote for Secretary Meng, it was a signal. Did he fall out with Mayor Jiang, or did Secretary Meng successfully pull him over to his side? Chu Peng had supported Mayor Jiang at every Committee Meeting, and something must have happened.

This action shocked everyone.

The former Executive Deputy Mayor retires, and Chu Peng has become a “neutral” party. This means Mayor Jiang has no supporters now.

Mayor Jiang is alone now….

Secretary Meng has six votes.

Three votes were void.

Mayor Jiang has one vote.

This was too pathetic.

Mayor Jiang will have no say in future Party Committee meetings after losing the former Executive Deputy Mayor and Public Security Bureau Chief’s support. She will be suppressed by Secretary Meng and have no opportunity to fight back.

Everyone knew Jiang Fangfang’s time was up.

Dong Xuebing got mad when he saw this. He does not know why he is mad. Maybe it was because Mayor Jiang was pretty and washed his underwear yesterday. He just felt uncomfortable and angry.

F**k!

What the f**k are these old men doing?!

What’s wrong with Mayor Jiang’s suggestion? The fund is issued by the Education Ministry for children’s education and should not be used for other purposes. You all had ganged up on her, and Chu Peng stopped supporting her.

Jiang Fangfang sat there calmly and did not show any emotions.

F**k you all!

Dong Xuebing announced loudly. “I support Mayor Jiang’s suggestion!”
