Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 1023 Selection of Police Chief

"Colleagues, next we will discuss the second topic - the personnel adjustment of the position of Director of Beishan City Public Security Bureau."

Comrade Xiao Long, since assuming the position of director, has always remained steadfast in his post and performed his duties diligently, leading the city's public security force to make outstanding contributions in maintaining social stability, combating crime, and serving the people.

I deeply regret the passing of Comrade Xiao Long; his departure is a great loss to our city's public security system…

Xia Guanglei's crocodile tears were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, only stirring up ripples of silent resentment.

The members of the Standing Committee present all appeared calm, but their eyes betrayed their own thoughts.

Thanks to Xia Guanglei's intentional or unintentional "publicity," Xiao Long's departure was no secret. Everyone with eyes could see that it was nothing more than a tactic employed by the newly appointed leader to establish his authority.

In this year, the public security situation in Beishan has greatly improved, and Xiao Long has achieved remarkable results in cracking down on crime. People in the streets and alleys are full of praise for him.

In addition, Xiao Long's promotion path did not conflict with most people's, and he usually had a harmonious relationship with the Standing Committee members.

Therefore, few of the Standing Committee members present, except for Duan Feng, could be happy.

Even the Standing Committee members who sided with Xia Guanglei were no exception.

Beishan was just getting on the right track and needed such a capable person, but he was transferred away because of political struggle, which is really a pity.

Despite the resentment, what can you do when the person in charge is the top leader, the Party Secretary of the city?

As the top leader, one has the absolute power to manipulate everything on this territory at will.

Xia Guanglei was unaware that his attempt to establish his authority had backfired, and he continued to sit in the head seat, displaying the demeanor of a municipal party secretary.

"Although we are very reluctant to see Comrade Xiao Long leave, we also know that the exchange and adjustment of cadres is an important part of organizational development and a necessary measure to optimize resource allocation and promote the growth of cadres."

Therefore, we must approach this personnel adjustment with a positive and rational attitude, resolutely support the organization's decision, and ensure the continuity and stability of public security work.

Next, the Beishan Municipal Party Committee will, in accordance with the relevant regulations on cadre selection and appointment and adhering to the principles of openness, fairness, and impartiality, conscientiously carry out the selection and recommendation of the new bureau chief to ensure the continued healthy development of the Beishan Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Now, the Organization Department will give a brief report on the proposed nominees.

Organization Minister Hu Cheng stood up and took over the conversation, "Respected leaders and comrades."

In accordance with the relevant regulations on the selection and appointment of cadres, and adhering to the principles of openness, fairness, and impartiality, and following in-depth preliminary research, extensive consultation, and rigorous evaluation, the following is a brief report on the proposed nominee for the position of Director of the Beishan City Public Security Bureau:

This nomination process adheres to the principle of the Party's management of cadres, emphasizes political standards, focuses on practical achievements, and centers on the modernization of public security work and the needs of social governance in the new era. It prioritizes the assessment of candidates' political qualities, ability to perform their duties, work style, and public support.

After procedures including organizational recommendation, qualification review, democratic evaluation, individual interviews, file verification, and integrity assessment, a preliminary list of candidates was formed.

After comprehensive evaluation, the proposed candidate is: Comrade Kang Keming, Executive Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau.

Kang Keming, male, Han nationality, born in May 1949, member of the Communist Party of China, university graduate, majoring in law, currently serves as the Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Executive Deputy Director of the Beishan City Public Security Bureau, with the rank of First-Class Police Supervisor.

Since joining the public security force, he has long served on the front lines, holding positions such as police station chief, branch bureau chief, and deputy director of the municipal bureau. He possesses rich grassroots experience and strong organizational and leadership skills…

Kang Keming is widely known to be a man of Duan Feng, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. A year ago, he was the third-ranked deputy director of the Beishan City Public Security Bureau.

After Xiao Long came up, he became second, only behind Nie Hailong.

After Nie Hailong became involved in the worker suicide case, he took the opportunity to climb to the position of executive deputy director of the municipal public security bureau.

Now that Xiao Long has been promoted and left, it is reasonable for the other party to follow the established procedures and promote him as well.

Xia Guanglei had put a lot of thought into making this reasonable statement.

If Qi Tongwei does not object, then Kang Keming will take over and smoothly control the violent institution that is the Beishan City Public Security Bureau.

If Qi Tongwei objects and requests a new candidate, he will find various excuses to postpone it, no matter who it is.

Finally, as a second-best option, Duan Feng was temporarily put in charge, thus maintaining control of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

After Hu Cheng finished speaking, he looked at Xia Guanglei, who waved his hand, indicating that he should sit down.

"Comrade Kang Keming, I met him once a week ago when I visited the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He is a steady and reliable person and a good successor."

I have no objection, but I wonder if anyone has different ideas or would like to recommend something suitable.

If so, bring it up and discuss it; if not, we'll report it to the National People's Congress for formal appointment.

The position of Municipal Public Security Bureau is extremely important and should not remain vacant for too long. I hope it can be finalized today.

Qi Tongwei didn't speak, but instead gave Zuo Ming from the Discipline Inspection Commission a wink, and Zuo Ming nodded without saying a word.

"Secretary Xia, I don't think it's appropriate for Comrade Kang Keming to take over as the Director of the Public Security Bureau?"

Xia Guanglei had anticipated this, smiled, and looked at Zuo Ming, "Comrade Zuo Ming, what are your thoughts?"

Zuo Ming said, "Secretary Xia, you've just come down here, so you may not be aware of many things."

How to describe Comrade Kang Keming? He's very good at dealing with superiors, but his ability to actually get things done is just average.

A year ago, the streets of Beishan were not exactly chaotic, but they were plagued by petty theft, street vendors encroaching on public spaces, illegal construction, and all sorts of other problems.

At that time, Comrade Kang Keming was in charge of comprehensive management. He was busy with various tasks and did put in some effort, but the results were...

Zuo Ming paused, smiled slightly, and exchanged glances with the other members of the Standing Committee. "As for the results, everyone can see that they are just so-so, with very limited improvement."

Many people have complained that police investigations are just a formality, involving arresting a few people and detaining them for a few days, which has no deterrent effect on criminals.

Comrade Kang Keming is qualified, but his thinking is somewhat conservative, and his ideas on grassroots governance under the new circumstances are not broad enough.

They also lack the courage to be pioneers and fight against criminals.

We've always emphasized the need to innovate social governance and improve people's sense of well-being. I think... we might need a comrade with more courage and innovative ideas to take on this important role.

Xia Guanglei listened quietly with a smile on his lips, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, his gaze deep and penetrating, as if he could see into people's hearts.

He didn't rush to express his opinion, but simply nodded slightly. "Comrade Zuo Ming is quite right. Does anyone have any different opinions?" He then looked at Duan Feng. "Comrade Duan Feng, you are the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and you have more authority to speak on the public security system than we do. What is your opinion?"
