Chapter 62: The Struggle in the Standing Committee (3)

  Including Provincial Party Secretary Xu Guangchun, he couldn't understand why Xie Yuming knew Liu Fei and even asked him to pour water. The same question also appeared on the faces of the other dozen or so standing committee members present, including Provincial Organization Department Head Hou Guoqiang, who was also extremely surprised. He had never thought that Xie Yuming would say something like this, after all, he had seen it with his own eyes last night that Xie Yuming and Liu Fei had met for the first time at his house, and it seemed they didn't have much of a relationship. But a provincial party committee standing committee member and political commissar of the military region asking a deputy provincial governor's secretary to pour water, this seems to reveal a hint of something strange! This matter is probably not as simple as it appears on the surface.

  Xie Yuming picked up the water that Liu Fei had just poured, blew on it gently, took a small sip, put down the cup, and smiled with narrowed eyes: "I support Secretary Xu's opinion!"

  Silence! The conference room is eerily quiet at this moment! Even the heavy breathing of others can be felt by everyone! All eyes are fixed on Xie Yuming in shock, but Xie Yuming lowered his head and started playing with his water cup again.

  Cui Yusheng's hand tightly grasped his water cup, his angry eyes staring at Xie Yuming, but all he saw was a forehead! He was so angry that he really wanted to stand up and splash Xie Yuming with tea water, thinking "You little brat must have taken the wrong medicine, you're always neutral, why are you being so abnormal today? Are you sick? Hurry up and go to the hospital!"

  Executive Vice Governor Ma Ao Wen was even more furious, his face turned iron blue, and he was gasping for water mouthful by mouthful!

  Liu Fei was about to sit back in his seat when he heard Xie Yuming's statement, and he was stunned. He looked at Xie Yuming with some confusion, but only saw the back of his head! In his heart, he secretly rejoiced: "I'm making a profit from this deal, exchanging a cup of water for a provincial committee member's vote, this business isn't a loss!"

  Cheng Hui gave Liu Fei a fierce stare, thinking to himself: "You little brat really has the luck of the devil, even pouring water can get you a vote!" Grandma's, which one of you Standing Committee members is willing to let me pour water for you too? No, no, no, I'll pour 10 cups if that's what it takes!

  At this moment, everyone's attention is focused on the Minister of Organization Hou Guoqiang again. Now, the number of votes between the two sides has reached 6 to 5! As long as Hou Guoqiang declares neutrality, Cui Yusheng's faction will have an absolute advantage, because everyone knows that Secretary Zheng's stance has always been very firm, even more so than Minister of Organization and Xie Yuming. He is almost never neutral! Cui Yusheng looked at Hou Guoqiang with a gaze that was almost pleading, because there was still an important agenda item to come, the selection of the secretary of the Tangshi Municipal Political and Legal Committee, and he still had to hope that the other side would maintain cooperation or neutrality. At this moment, Hou Guoqiang's attitude is crucial!

  Liu Fei walked back to his seat and was about to sit down when a thick male voice said, "Liu Fei, pour me a glass of water too!"

  Liu Fei looked in the direction of the sound and recognized Hou Ming's father, Provincial Organization Department Head Hou Guoqiang, whom he had just met last night!

  Liu Fei couldn't help but laugh bitterly, it seemed that today he had to play the role of a waiter!

  Ku Zhe wanted to pick up the teacup on the table, Liu Fei quickly walked to the water dispenser, poured a cup of boiling water, and then gently put it back in front of Hou Guoqiang.

  Hou Guoqiang bluntly picked up the water cup, lightly touched it a few times, then raised his head and smiled: "I support Secretary Xu's opinion!"

  Silence! The conference room is shocked beyond belief!

  Dozens of eyes all turned to Hou Guoqiang!

  Xie Yuming did not expect that Hou Guoqiang would actually follow him! This made him laugh and cry at the same time! Old Hou, although our relationship is not bad, but on this issue of offending people, you shouldn't have made such a choice! You used to be neutral all along, why are you making an exception this time? After all, Liu Fei is just a young man with no background! Although I chose to support Liu Fei, wasn't it also because my niece forced me to? If I didn't support him this time, she would cry and make a scene!

  Xie Yuming didn't know that he was threatened by Xie Yuming and had to make a statement. Hou Guoqiang wasn't easy either. That night, after all the guests left, his son, who usually had a very good relationship with him, suddenly changed his attitude and gave him an ultimatum, hoping that his father could support Liu Fei and let Liu Fei avoid punishment, otherwise he would cut off their father-son relationship! This made Hou Guoqiang, one of the top 13 elite figures in Hebei Province and the head of the Organization Department, extremely shocked. He was very familiar with his son, and this young man, although seemingly reckless, was actually very cunning. If not, he wouldn't have been able to create a business empire worth tens of millions on his own. Although his success couldn't be separated from his father's prestigious position, his methods and vision were absolutely extraordinary. Was there really something special about this young man? Hou Guoqiang hadn't discovered it yet! But thinking about the resolute look in his son's eyes when he spoke, Hou Guoqiang's thoughts began to stir. Recalling the scene of Liu Fei surrounded by the provincial party secretary's daughter and the military region political commissar's niece, he decided to make an exception this time!

  Xu Guangchun was really stunned at this moment, although his eyes were far-sighted and wise, but everything in front of him was beyond his expectation! Originally, he thought that he would lose face today, but unexpectedly, a military region's political commissar and an organization department head simultaneously broke their neutral stance and expressed support for him, which made him feel not only happy but also deeply thoughtful.

  Recalling the scene from last night, his daughter suddenly came to him and said that he must ensure Liu Fei's safety tomorrow, or else she would run away from home. As a father, he could see what was on her mind, but he had no idea what was going on - how did this kid Liu Fei manage to capture his daughter's heart? Thinking back to all the things Liu Fei had done since arriving in Henan Province, it was simply unbelievable, and even Xu Guangchun felt a bit bewildered. However, he could sense that Liu Fei was a promising talent worth investing in - otherwise, he wouldn't have recommended him to his most trusted ally, Jiang Zhengyuan. At the time, seeing his daughter's determined look, Xu Guangchun, who was usually cautious and far-sighted, decided to take a chance and make an exception this once. Moreover, Liu Fei was also the secretary of his ally Jiang Zhengyuan! From any angle, Xu Guangchun felt that he should support Liu Fei.

  6 votes to 6 votes! The Secretary faction and the Governor faction are now tied! Only Zheng, the Secretary-General, has not expressed his stance yet!

  The 24 eyes on both sides were all focused on Secretary Zheng.

  Secretary Zheng felt like he was sitting on a stove, no matter which side he leaned towards, that side would gain the upper hand! As a result, the winning side would naturally remember his favor, but the losing side would definitely hate him to the bone! Having been in the position of Secretary for many years, he naturally understood that neither side was easy to deal with. Although Provincial Committee Secretary Xu looked benevolent and refined, once he took action, he was swift and fierce, with ruthless tactics. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to establish his own foothold on this land that Governor Cui had operated for decades in a short period of time.

  Chui Yu-sheng, the governor, is even more so. He has climbed up step by step from county head, city head, vice provincial governor to governor, accumulating a large number of connections and relationships along the way. When he was still the executive deputy governor, he had basically controlled the entire political situation in Hebei Province. The former secretary was transferred because he could not open up the situation in Hebei Province for a long time.

  Headache! Secretary Zheng really has a headache now.
