Chapter 853: Chapter 853
Fu Guotai regretted it, genuinely regretted it.
If he had known Xu Qianli was such a monster, he wouldn’t have used his influence to transfer him over.
Now look, Xu Qianli came over, first embarrassed him, then made him wary, it’s too terrible.
In the current situation, every possible means must be used to suppress Xu Qianli, absolutely not letting him develop.
Regarding Fu Guotai’s views, Zhang Dongyang completely agreed, "So, how do you plan to suppress him? Send him to a leisurely government to sit on the cold bench, or appoint him to an important position, letting him take the fall?"
Fu Guotai said, "Letting him take the fall is naturally the best option, it might even get rid of him, at least making it impossible for him to navigate the official circles. But that kid is sly, if we assign him an important position and he sees through our setup, we’re in trouble. Who knows, after easily breaking through it, he might achieve something significant in the important position. You should be aware of that kid’s resume, back when he was in Jiang City, remember how he performed after being exiled to Qingshan Town? Frightening!"
After Fu Guotai said this, Zhang Dongyang couldn’t help recalling Xu Qianli’s resume.
Yes, just as Fu Guotai said, when Xu Qianli went to Qingshan Town, it was impoverished, and all the big and small officials were subordinates of the former secretary Li Zhu, who saw Xu Qianli as an enemy.
Yet Xu Qianli didn’t take much time to settle those people and easily took control of Qingshan Town’s power, then boldly initiated actions, launching the flag of tourism development, achieving results that commanded respect.
In such a remote and backward place, he managed to achieve success. If he’s responsible for important work in Cailin County, could he not accomplish anything?
With that kid’s extraordinary means, as long as he is given an opportunity, it’s impossible for him not to achieve anything.
Zhang Dongyang nodded slightly, "It seems we can only assign him the work least likely to produce political achievements. He is the Deputy County Magistrate, so we must allocate some tasks; how about choosing one from agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery?"
In the administrative structure, the County Government manages the various governmental departments, the County Magistrate controls the overall situation, and below, the Deputy County Magistrates manage each department’s work.
The most important among them are the departments like public security, legal institutions, finance, tax, culture, education, and health, while agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery are ranked very low. Assigning such work to Xu Qianli, will he produce any results?
Hearing this, Fu Guotai shook his head repeatedly.
"No, absolutely not!"
"Zhang Dongyang, you still underestimate Xu Qianli, he is a monster. If you give him agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery, what if he stirs up something unexpected in these areas? For example, in agriculture, what if he attracts investment to create a high-tech greenhouse covering thousands of acres? In fisheries, what if he attracts investment to develop provincial or even national high-end fishery demonstration bases? And in forestry and animal husbandry, what if he attracts investment to establish international integrated forestry and farming farms? These cannot be overlooked!"
"That guy is a monster, and his ability to attract investment is exceptionally outstanding; achieving results would be unavoidable. Nowadays, with money, achieving results is too easy!"
Although Fu Guotai harbored hostility towards that Xu Qianli, he couldn’t help but admire Xu Qianli’s tactics, especially his methods of attracting investment.
Such a person, assigning him to manage agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery, is essentially giving him space to showcase his abilities, with great potential in the future.
In others’ eyes, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery might not seem lucrative or easy to achieve results because ordinary people can’t attract investment or initiate significant projects and activities.
Xu Qianli is different. If it’s like when he was in Qingshan Town, casually securing investments of tens of billions, what would it take to launch massive greenhouses, high-end fishery demonstration bases, or international breeding farms immediately?
Frankly, Xu Qianli knows how to manage money, and being able to bring in money makes achieving political results easy.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dongyang noted the truth, "Then what should we do, we can’t just let him manage trade unions, can we? We’d be willing, but the higher-ups wouldn’t agree to assign such a task to a newcomer."
Fu Guotai said, "How about this, let’s just assign him to be in charge of water management, what do you think?"
Water management?
Zhang Dongyang’s eyes suddenly lit up.
"Haha, good, water management is a good choice."
Cailin County is located in the east, with heavy rainfall and crisscrossing river channels, numerous reservoirs, so a Deputy County Magistrate overseeing water specifically is somewhat justifiable.
Moreover, water management, unlike other areas, is small, even to the extent that producing political achievements is entirely impossible.
If you had agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery, you could still build farms, greenhouses, and breeding bases. With water management, you can’t achieve anything.
The most you can do is repair river embankments, strengthen dams, manage hydrology, but what results could he produce?
Basically, it’s impossible to achieve results, the most obscure, and no profit, as Cailin County budgets only a small amount for water management each year.
What’s more, in terms of water management, elsewhere might be fine, but in Cailin County, it’s not only difficult to achieve results but also prone to trouble.
Fu Guotai and Zhang Dongyang both have primarily overseen Cailin County for several years, especially Fu Guotai, who has rooted himself in Cailin County for a decade, gradually grasping control of the county, and became the County Magistrate five years ago.
Since then, investments in water management in Cailin County have decreased annually, with most funds diverted elsewhere. Over the years, Cailin County’s GDP has appeared pleasing, but investment in other areas including water management hasn’t been substantial, especially water management, it’s nearly devoid of money.
Water management isn’t something you can leave unattended for centuries, it requires regular maintenance and repair. With increasing rains over the years, many river channels have become blocked, causing considerable hidden dangers.
These are issues Fu Guotai and Zhang Dongyang couldn’t bother to deal with or even care about.
Now with Xu Qianli here, if they toss these matters to him, if something goes wrong under his watch, it’ll be interesting.
As a managing official, Xu Qianli would certainly be the direct person responsible, having to take the blame!
This kind of assignment not only prevents Xu Qianli from gaining political achievements and development but also brings him trouble, absolutely fitting.
The two discussed and finalized it directly.
Time was about right, so the two left their moment of indulgence, heading busily to the County Committee.
Xu Qianli had arrived too, having just spent intimate moments with Gu Ziyin twice, enjoying the ultimate tenderness and passion of the County Magistrate’s Wife, feeling exceedingly joyful, now grinning from ear to ear.
Seeing Zhang Dongyang afterward made him smile even wider. Previously, when he and Gu Ziyin were affectionate, Zhang Dongyang, the cuckold, often cheered him on, what a nice guy.
Zhang Dongyang saw Xu Qianli grinning at him, feeling quite uncomfortable, thinking what’s with this guy, why is he smiling at me?
Forget it, couldn’t be bothered with him, Zhang Dongyang and Fu Guotai took their seats, and after the introduction, they immediately announced Xu Qianli’s work assignment.
