Then, in Daxi City, we are resolutely centered around Xiang Mingdong, with the Party and government united as one, exceptionally harmonious.

The relationship between the Mayor and the City Committee secretary is also quite close and friendly, fitting together seamlessly.

In many places, whether at the county or city level, the head of the organization and the head of the government often don't see eye to eye, can't work together, and engage in both overt and covert struggles, which is also a norm.

How to put it?

For example, when the Mayor wants to do something, the secretary has to point fingers; when the secretary wants to issue orders, the Mayor is unwilling but has no choice but to comply; when the Mayor achieves a political success, he is the main driver, but the credit has to be given to the secretary. Once the secretary appears, the Mayor has nothing to do with it... these kinds of scenarios, haha, have always led to conflicts between the Party and government, rarely avoidable.

The root is that the Party controls everything, knows everything, wants to manage everything, has to guide everything, can do everything... haha...

Of course, the head of the government also desperately wants to be the head of the organization, to become the secretary, so he can show off and manage everything. Therefore, there are always people trying to push the secretary out, or sideline him, make him apply for a transfer, haha...

Cases like Xiang Mingdong and Guan Xun's harmonious Party-government relations are rare. Of course, in Yangzhou City, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Yuxing's tandem of secretary and Mayor is also considered harmonious, which is uncommon.

At this moment, Daxi City's Mayor Guan Xun smiled and said: "What Secretary Xiang said is indeed true! Mayor Liu has been in Daxi for some time now, the routine research has concluded, and it's necessary to report to the Standing Committee! Besides, you are the executive deputy mayor in charge of such significant economic matters, you must have relevant plans and implementations for the local economy!"

Then, the other bootlicking members of the Standing Committee also nodded in agreement, each chiming in as if they were in sync with the secretary and Mayor!

In this situation, should Liu Zhizhong report or plan, plan or report?

Xiang Mingdong was a little petty inside, hmm, let's see how this young kid handles it?

You were popular in Shanan County, but after all, you're too young, now that you're in Daxi City, how can you possibly cause a stir? What can you stir up?

To be honest, these local officials and members of the Standing Committee in Daxi really don't take a 31-year-old executive deputy mayor like Liu Zhizhong seriously. Too young, aside from having some backing, what else can he do? These people all know that without a background, if you mix till this level, you're worth nothing.

Of course, regarding Liu Zhizhong's background, Daxi's officials were quite ignorant. Just that in their private small meetings, Xiang Mingdong had said: Regardless of Liu Zhizhong's background, this here is Daxi, and a dragon must coil, a tiger must crouch! We'll see if Liu Zhizhong understands his place.

As a result, since Liu Zhizhong took office, he seems to act like he really doesn't understand his place! He won't flatter anyone nor will he curry favor; he won't entertain guests with fancy dinners, really doesn't understand his place!

Except after taking office, he paid a visit to the retired senior leaders of the city, he hasn't shown any closeness to the other colleagues.

To this day, Liu Zhizhong hasn't even set up a dedicated secretary, which is somewhat unreasonable.

Guan Xun even recommended a dedicated secretary to Liu Zhizhong, but Liu Zhizhong refused, damn... has a grudge already formed?
