Nominal: The pinnacle of power began in the sixth province of Handong.

Chapter 8 Allies?

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Xia Qing arrived at Gao Yuliang's office on time.

"Secretary Gao, the new inspection method is complete. I'm bringing it here for you to review."

Xia Qing handed the folder containing the inspection plan to Gao Yuliang with both hands.

"Oh? Great! Minister Xia, that's very efficient!"

When Gao Yuliang first met Xia Qing, he was impressed by the new assessment method she described.

Now that Xia Qing has brought over the real thing, he naturally intends to take a closer look.

"Please sit down first, let me take a good look."

Gao Yuliang adjusted his glasses and began to carefully peruse the document.

Outside the window, the autumn wind gently rustled the golden leaves, while the two people inside the office remained silent.

The only sound was the rustling of documents being turned.

half an hour.

Gao Yuliang slowly placed the folder of signed documents on the table.

His expression remained unchanged, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed his emotions.

Gao Yuliang hesitated for a moment before finally speaking:

"Minister Xia, did you oversee this evaluation process?"

Xia Qing smiled and said:

"Secretary Gao, I am reporting to you that this plan was entirely my own creation."

Gao Yuliang's pupils dilated slightly.

He was somewhat incredulous.

Rumors circulated that he himself was familiar with Xia Qing's resume.

Xia Qing had absolutely no experience with organizational work; he was a complete novice and knew absolutely nothing about it.

But here is the assessment method.

Not only have the current assessment methods been boldly improved.

It also proposed innovative and practical measures, such as strengthening political vetting and quantifying indicators.

It's hard to imagine that this was written by an organization minister who knew absolutely nothing about organizational work.

Could it be that Xia Qing didn't tell the truth and used other people's achievements for her own purposes?

Gao Yuliang shook his head.

From every deputy minister of the Organization Department in Handong that he had contacted, to the Organization Departments in other provinces and cities.

No one has ever expressed the same view as Xia Qing.

Even the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, although it has proposed improvement measures consistent with Xia Qing's direction, has always remained at the level of a concept.

The real goal is to transform these ideas into practical and feasible solutions, and then write them down in a logical and organized manner.

Only Xia Qing!

Gao Yuliang's brain was working at lightning speed.

Could it be that Xia Qing came into contact with the new ideas of the Organization Department of the Central Committee when he was working in Beijing, and then figured them out on his own and turned them into his own?

If this is true, this person's learning and execution abilities are terrifying.

Then I think back to the first time we met.

Xia Qing offered to introduce a new set of assessment methods.

It seems he wasn't just bragging.

Xia Qing was well-prepared!

With this in mind, Gao Yuliang still did not rush to express his opinion.

He decided to give Xia Qing another try.

Let's see if this person is truly capable or just taking someone else's work and using it to present to others.

Then, Gao Yuliang slowly began to speak:

"Minister Xia, if I sign this plan, what are your next steps?"

"Naturally, it was shown to Secretary Sha for review," Xia Qing replied.

"This plan has been significantly improved, and Secretary Sha will definitely be very interested in it. It may even become a typical plan and advanced experience to be promoted nationwide."

Gao Yuliang was startled.

Xia Qing also wants to promote this new plan as a model nationwide?

Although, judging from the quality of the plan, it is indeed qualified to be shown across the country.

But was Xia Qing's decision something she had planned from the beginning?

Taking advantage of the opportunity to thaw out the cadres in Handong, we should also make some achievements in cadre evaluation as our first merit upon arriving in Handong.

If that's really the case.

This person should not be underestimated!

As if struck by a thought, Gao Yuliang leaned forward and asked in a low voice:

"Minister Xia, I remember you said that day that you could also unfreeze Director Qi?"

That hit the nail on the head.

Xia Qing had been waiting for Gao Yuliang to speak on this issue for a long time.

"It's already been prepared in the plan. I've set the scope of the veto power very small, so even if Director Qi can't get to the meeting for the time being, he won't become a target of the veto."

Xia Qing paused for a moment, then continued:

"In addition, I have also made plans. Before reporting to Secretary Sha, I intend to conduct interviews with several of the 125 cadres whose accounts have been frozen, and use my new assessment method to reassess them. I will then submit the detailed data to Secretary Sha."

Gao Yuliang remained silent.

He saw through Xia Qing's veto system and the merit-based evaluation principle.

In this way, Qi Tongwei will have a high chance of being unfrozen and rejoining the investigation.

Moreover, Xia Qing's new assessment method was absolutely advantageous to Qi Tongwei.

Gao Yuliang was eager to know whether Xia Qing's purpose in setting this up was to help Qi Tongwei.

But no matter how you look at it.

From the plan to Xia Qing's next steps.

All of these are extremely reasonable and interconnected.

This organization minister is by no means as ignorant of business as outsiders claim.

They are truly outstanding cadres who are politically astute, professionally competent, and resourceful!

Most importantly, he is the leader of the younger generation of the Xia family.

The group in Handong coveted the Xia family behind Xia Qing, but at the same time believed that Xia Qing was not up to the job of the organization minister and could not achieve anything.

Furthermore, no one knew Xia Qing's attitude or what mission he had brought to Handong.

Everyone's attitude is one of waiting and seeing.

As a result, Xia Qing has not had a single nominal ally since he came to Handong.

at the moment.

Gao Yuliang recognized Xia Qing's talent and ability.

He also sensed that Xia Qing intended to befriend him.

Even though he roughly understood that Xia Qing hoped to support him so that he wouldn't be completely suppressed by Sha Ruijin, in order to create a relatively stable political environment for Xia Qing to achieve what he had in Handong.

Even so, Gao Yuliang felt it was a very profitable deal.

Qi Tongwei's assets were frozen, Sha Ruijin came on strong, and the Zhao family's power gradually waned.

Gao Yuliang desperately needs Xia Qing as a powerful ally.

As long as Xia Qing can help me withstand Sha Ruijin's encroachment.

As the full-time deputy secretary and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, I can provide Xia Qing with a lot of help in the future.

Moreover, the power of the Xia family behind Xia Qing is truly terrifying.

They are far superior to the Zhao family.

If the Xia family takes a liking to me in the future, I might not need to consider settling down in the National People's Congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Instead, we can look forward to the ministerial level!

Having figured all this out, Gao Yuliang made a decision.

He said no more, and readily signed his name on the document!

Xia Qing was taken aback, and quickly said:

"Secretary Gao, what's this?"

"Minister Xia, no, I'll call you Xia Qing." Gao Yuliang closed the document, handed it back to Xia Qing, and said with a faint smile:

"Your proposal is fantastic, I fully support it."

Xia Qing naturally understood the subtext of those words.

Therefore, Xia Qing also stood up and bowed slightly, saying:

"Thank you, Secretary Gao. I'll go and move on to the next step."

"No rush. Have you decided which cadres you want to interview? In my humble opinion, the cadres you should interview should be outstanding cadres in important positions among those whose positions have been frozen, who urgently need to be promoted to higher positions to solve urgent, difficult, and dangerous problems."

Gao Yuliang took a sip of tea and said.

Xia Qing became interested.

The fact that Gao Yuliang said this means that he already has someone in mind.

So Xia Qing sat back down in her chair and said earnestly:

"Please enlighten me, Secretary Gao."

Gao Yuliang smiled and said:

"Go to Guangming District. Five cadres there have been frozen out of work. They all made outstanding contributions to the Guangming Peak project. With them frozen out, the Guangming Peak project can't move forward. Your arrival will be a timely help."

Xia Qing suddenly realized.

We should talk to these five cadres and then re-evaluate them using the new evaluation methods.

As data, it was also given to Sha Ruijin.

The Guangming Peak project is a major project in the entire province, and Sha Ruijin certainly won't leave it unattended.

Once Sha Ruijin opened the door to these five people.

The subsequent thawing work will proceed naturally!

Xia Qing couldn't help but admire him in her heart.

He's a seasoned vice-ministerial level official after all; he's very shrewd in his thinking!

I still need to learn more from them.

Seeing that Xia Qing seemed to be deep in thought, Gao Yuliang continued:

"It's also a good opportunity to meet with Comrade Li Dakang, the Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee."
