The most important quality in the political arena is having perceptiveness.
Zhou Nongxin is the Mayor.
He can't possibly tell his subordinates one by one, "You must keep your distance from Chen Fang, because I don't like him."
So, what should be done?
Naturally, it is demonstrated through actions.
Chen Fang is also assuming office today, and this is something Mayor Zhou Nongxin is certainly aware of.
But if he sends out signals for his subordinates to keep Chen Fang at arm's length,
once the subordinates understand, they will naturally maintain their distance from Chen Fang.
An Deputy Mayor who is not part of the standing committee,
once neglected,
is just a titular deputy director-level cadre.
On the contrary,
if someone is valued,
it is reflected in every aspect.
If a senior leader comes and praises you publicly, or speaks politely to you in some unnoticed corner,
the subordinates will naturally know that this person has strong backing from the higher-ups.
Therefore,
He Ye's maneuver seems powerless,
but in the political realm,
its effect is no less than an explosive bomb.
A call came in from the highway entrance, saying that the vehicle from the Provincial Committee Organization Department had entered the city.
Over at the City Committee Courtyard,
Zhou Nongxin also waited at the building entrance with the four sets of committee members.
In no time,
Chen Feng's Audi A6 appeared in front of everyone.
Zhou Nongxin exchanged a glance with Gao Lianxi.
As soon as the car stopped in front of them,
they immediately rushed forward eagerly.
Zhou Nongxin first opened the right side door, a position always reserved for senior leaders.
The person inside got out of the car,
but the leg that extended was not Chen Feng's, but of a woman wearing a skirt.
At this moment, Xu Lianyun shakily got out of the car while holding the door, smiled at Zhou Nongxin, extended her hand, and said, "Hello Mayor Zhou, I'm Xu Lianyun."
Why is Xu Lianyun sitting on this side?
Zhou Nongxin was taken aback for a moment.
He quickly composed himself and warmly said, "Comrade Xu Lianyun, welcome."
At the same time,
the left door was also opened.
Gao Lianxi's face was full of smiles.
This smile was originally for Xu Lianyun.
But when the person in the car got out, unexpectedly it wasn't Chen Feng, but the young Chen Fang.
At that moment,
Gao Lianxi was stunned.
He never imagined that Chen Fang, the lowest-ranking person in the car, would be sitting in the back seat.
"Hello, Deputy Mayor Gao."
Chen Fang proactively greeted.
After all, everyone was watching.
If Gao Lianxi didn't respond and turned away directly,
it would appear as if he had no manners.
He could only shake hands with Chen Fang and said with a cheerful smile, "Comrade Chen Fang, welcome to Xiaxiang City."
At that moment,
both were bewildered.
They never thought things would turn out this way.
They also didn't expect Chen Feng to be seated in the front seat.
They even thought he didn't show up for some reason.
Just as they were about to take Chen Fang and Xu Lianyun to meet other leaders, the driver's door opened.
The driver got out,
and quickly ran to the passenger seat to open the door.
Only then did Chen Feng get out with a grim face.
Now it was clear.
Zhou Nongxin and Gao Lianxi had already turned away; Chen Feng got out, and it was as if they had ignored the Minister of the Provincial Committee Organization Department.
More importantly, this situation,
for the four sets of committee members waiting at the entrance, was quite a shock.
After all, ranking in the political arena is very important.
Chen Feng is a standing member of the Provincial Committee and a provincial leader; such a person would naturally sit in the back seat. Now that he had given up the back seat to Xu Lianyun and Chen Fang, what does that signify? It signifies that Chen Fang and Xu Lianyun are more important than Chen Feng.
Moreover, when Mayor Zhou Nongxin and Deputy Mayor Gao Lianxi saw the car arrive,
their first move was to greet Chen Fang and Xu Lianyun,
even ignoring the Minister of the Provincial Committee Organization Department.
What does this mean again?
It means that in Zhou Nongxin and Gao Lianxi's eyes, Chen Fang and Xu Lianyun are also very important.
Don't underestimate these few seconds of events.
Some people in the welcoming group had already decided to engage more with Chen Fang or Xu Lianyun in the future.
Who would have thought?
A simple seating arrangement inside the car,
would cause such a mix-up.
"Ahem..."
Feeling ignored, Chen Feng was displeased.
He intentionally cleared his throat.
Zhou Nongxin turned back to look.
A cold sweat broke out on his back.
He thought, this is bad.
Ignoring the leader.
At the same time, a doubt arose in his mind: Why was Chen Feng sitting in the front seat? This doesn't make sense?
It wasn't his first time in Xiaxiang City.
Every time he came, he sat in the back.
Why this time, when sending Chen Fang and Xu Lianyun, did he sit in front?
If it was a matter of gender propriety, he could have sat in the back with Chen Fang.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
The more he thought about it, the more he dared not think further.
Zhou Nongxin hurriedly approached, nodding and bowing, and said, "Hello Minister Chen."
The leader felt neglected.
Naturally, he was displeased.
He grunted slightly in his throat and asked, "Where is Comrade Guoliang? Why haven't I seen him?"
"Leader, Secretary Peng went out for inspection tours, and he may return tomorrow or the day after."
Zhou Nongxin said cautiously.
Chen Feng was fuming.
He scanned the group waiting at the entrance.
He said, "Alright, alright, I don't have time to chat with you all individually, let's just go to the conference room, I'll read the appointments, and then I'm leaving."
These words,
were already expressing his anger.
Zhou Nongxin quickly said, "Leader, it's lunchtime, how about I ask the cafeteria to prepare some food, and you can eat before leaving?"
"Eat what? All you do is think about eating. Let's go straight to the meeting!"
Chen Fang shouted.
He headed directly into the City Committee building.
Now Zhou Nongxin was sweating profusely.
He glared viciously at He Ye, who was standing in the corner.
Thinking, this was all his lousy idea, otherwise, there wouldn't have been a problem with Chen Feng.
No one had time to speak before they hurried into the conference room.
Just after sitting down,
Chen Feng angrily walked in.
Everyone quickly stood up again, uniformly giving him their attention.
Chen Feng stood directly in the middle of the podium, took out the appointment papers, and formally announced the appointments of Xu Lianyun and Chen Fang.
In such a situation, it would be expected for the leader to say a few words.
But Chen Feng did not.
He directly rolled his eyes at Zhou Nongxin and said, "Alright, today's ceremony ends here; I'm leaving now."
After saying this,
he stopped Zhou Nongxin from seeing him off, got directly into the car, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
It was apparent,
that Chen Feng was in quite a bad mood today.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably make things difficult for Zhou Nongxin in the future.
"What happened? Minister Chen looks like he's in a bad mood today."
In the conference room,
someone asked softly.
The person next to him said disdainfully, "It's not surprising, he's a provincial leader, and Mayor Zhou and Deputy Mayor Gao only opened the door for Minister Xu and Mayor Chen, isn't that disrespectful to him?"
