The system of separating management rights from ownership has been widely applied in Europe and America. The Company Law, which was officially promulgated on New Year's Day in 1994, also paved the way for domestic enterprises to reform and establish a modern enterprise management system.

  However, it will take time for this understanding to be clearly conveyed to the grassroots level. The news that the town's woolen blanket factory had invested in shares and set up a joint venture with Zhu Yiliang, called Zile Home Textiles Co., Ltd., sparked heated discussions in the town as soon as it was made public.

  At the grassroots level, if you worry too much, you can only be a mediocre official. Shen Hua didn't care about these criticisms and arranged for the assets to be handled first.

  In the next few days, the school started winter vacation, and the town also sent a car to take Yang Chengming and Kou Jing to the town hospital for continued treatment.

  Yeshin Bank is also a state-controlled joint-stock bank. The town will sell the Chinese medicine house as a whole to Yeshin Bank as a business network point, and there are no obstacles in the system, even free allocation is not a problem, let alone the town can still receive 900,000 yuan compensation from Yeshin Bank.

  This matter progressed very quickly, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China inspected the address without any issues, and in just four days, they signed a property transfer agreement with the Asset Management Office; the next day, the 900,000 yuan payment was transferred to the Asset Management Office's credit union account.

  Mei Creek Town will be built as the first business network point of Yixin Bank in Donghua City, and the employee training point of Yixin Donghua Branch will also be temporarily set up at Zhuxi Hotel to save costs.

  Yeshin Bank, led by Sun Ya-lin, has five personnel who live in the Zhuxi Hotel for training purposes. In addition, they have recruited dozens of new employees from local areas to receive concentrated training at the Zhuxi Hotel during the day.

  The usually empty and quiet customer service department of Zhuxi Hotel was suddenly packed.

  On the last day of January, the head of the county party committee's organization department personally came to Meixi Town to announce on behalf of the county party committee that Shen Hua was appointed as the secretary of the Meixi Town Party Committee, and also brought the appointment of Du Jian as the deputy director of the county planning commission.

  Du Jianjia was in the county town and felt that staying in Meixi Town for a moment was difficult.

  Although the deputy director of the county planning commission is also an administrative deputy section chief, from the party secretary of the central town to the county planning commission as a deputy section chief, the actual status has decreased significantly. Du Jian is already over 50 years old, and the opportunity for promotion after 50 years old is slim, making people look at him with a hint of pity, which also makes Du Jian feel uncomfortable in his heart.

  At noon, after having a farewell dinner at Zhuxi Hotel, Du Jian left Meixi Town with the county committee organization department officials.

  Accompanied by the county party committee organization department head, Shen Huai, He Qing She, Li Feng and others also made an exception to drink some wine at noon. After sending off Du Jian and the county party committee organization department officials, Shen Huai took a nap in the hotel room until 2 pm before heading to the office to work.

  Shen Hua stepped into the office, and Huang Xinliang, the director of the Party and Government Office, followed closely behind. He asked, "The office on the third floor, I had someone tidy it up roughly this afternoon. As for the specific arrangement, we still need Secretary Shen to give instructions."

  Shen Huai glanced at Huang Xinliang and said, "I understand..." Then he didn't say anything else, just flipped through the documents on his desk.

  The office on the east side of the third floor, the hardware decoration is already in place, with yew wood flooring, and even the window sills are made of decorative stone materials with good patterns.

  Although it's not a floor-to-ceiling window, the southeast side has an arc-shaped large balcony, which is also quite magnificent.

  The head of the township does not have a full-time secretary or driver, but outside the office, there is still a secretary's room and a driver's room. Further on, there is the office of the Party and Government Office, which is always at the beck and call of the Party Secretary - this layout also reflects the dominant position of the Party Secretary in the township.

  Du Jian left Meixi Town, and this office naturally belongs to the new party secretary Shen Hua. No one else can possibly sit in this office by crossing over Shen Hua.

  Huang Xinliang was stunned, unaware of the dissatisfaction Shen Hua had towards him, whether it was towards the office or himself. Shen Hua's gaze had already shifted to the documents in his hand, and Huang Xinliang could only patiently wait for further instructions from Shen Hua.

  Du Jianming's tone was calm, but in reality, he was being demoted. When he first arrived at the county planning commission, he wouldn't have much real power. Huang Xinliang understood this too - even if he followed Du Jian to the county this time, it was impossible for him to have any position, and at most, he would be given the deputy director of the planning commission office as a consolation - this was also what Du Jian had explained to him.

  Huang Xinliang served as the director of the town party and government office in Meixi Town, and was one of the members of the town party committee. Whether it is substantial benefits or actual status, he is not inferior to an ordinary deputy mayor.

  Huang Xinliang really followed Du Jian to the county, serving as the deputy director of the Planning Commission Office. In reality, he was demoted by two levels; if Du Jian retired to the second line in a few years, he would be even more embarrassed in the county, with no one caring about him.

  It's just like when Guo Quan kicked Shen Hua out of Meixi Steel Plant and he could only serve as the deputy director of the enterprise office in the town, with a similar gap. Even if Huang Xinliang didn't know how long he could still sit in the position of party and government office director, he was not willing to leave Meixi Town until he was completely exhausted.

  In fact, Guo Quan was quite lucky. He had been the deputy director of the enterprise office for only a month when the enterprise office was changed to the asset office. To compensate Guo Quan and also to strengthen the position of the asset office, Shen Hua insisted on promoting Guo Quan to the position of party committee member, which more or less made up for the loss of status he had suffered from being kicked out of the steel factory, and now he is one of Shen Hua's confidants.

  Since the county decided on Shen Hua's party committee secretary position, Li Deputy Secretary and Tang Deputy Secretary also addressed Guo Quan as brothers. Guo Quan's current status in the town is almost as high as that of an ordinary deputy town head, if not higher.

  Huang Xinliang asked himself if he was not more capable than Guo Quan, yet he did not dare to hope for the same treatment as Guo Quan.

  Shen Huai had been in office for just over three months, Huang Xinliang couldn't forget the scene on Shen Huai's first day in office. At a party-government meeting, he helped Du Jian squeeze and humiliate Shen Huai, who counterattacked and scolded him until his face was covered with shame.

  One day an emperor, one day a minister. Although at today's farewell dinner, Shen Huan and Du Jian were all smiles as they went through the formalities of handing over power, speaking many sincere words of farewell and encouragement, but if he had his way, would Du Jian be willing to leave Meixi Town? In official circles, the resentment of being usurped is even more hateful than having one's wife stolen. If Shen Huan didn't have such a powerful backer, how could Du Jian possibly have been persuaded to show weakness?

  Shen Hua looked young, only 25 years old during the New Year, almost younger than all administrative officials in town, but Huang Xinliang believed that behind all officialdom's twists and turns, Shen Hua was not necessarily worse than He Qing She or Li Feng. From how neatly Shen Hua had taken down Lu Xiaoshan, and even got Li Feng and Du Jian to voluntarily step out as hatchet men, one could see a glimmer of his abilities.

  Such a young man, with such strong abilities and thick background, and yet so deep in his city that it's hard to bear - Huang Xinliang also didn't know what fate awaited him.

  Huang Xinliang waited for a long time, the smile on his face frozen, seeing Shen Hui only burying his head to read files, as if he had forgotten about him, and carefully said: "If Secretary Shen has nothing else, then I'll leave first."

  Shen Huai let out an "oh" and didn't even lift his head.

  Huang Xinliang walked out of the office, feeling depressed and miserable, and he couldn't help but want to find a place to cry.

  ****************

  Huang Xinliang pushed the door out, and Shen Huai put down the documents in his hand, called the organization committee, and asked him to send someone to bring some personnel files of the town's cadres for him to see.

  Shen Huai flipped through Huang Xinliang's personnel file.

  Huang Xinliang is 35 years old this year, graduated from Huaihai Normal University, and was assigned to Meixi Middle School as a math teacher at the beginning. The teaching level is very high, and the two graduating classes he brought out in a row are not worse than the ordinary classes in the county. It's also because of his high teaching level and strong writing ability that six years ago, Du Jian was transferred to the town government from the party and political office secretary, and became a member of the party committee and director of the party and political office, can be said to be Du Jian's absolute confidant.

  Such a character, no matter how high his ability is, Shen Huan should kick him far away and let him sink with Du Jian in the county.

  With a population of 1.2 billion, it's natural to have an abundance of talent, but in the official circles, more positions are occupied by mediocre people, and truly outstanding officials are extremely rare; narrowing down to Meixi Town's small official ecosystem, they are even more scarce.

  If he had to choose between Guo Quan and Huang Xinliang, Shen Hua would unhesitatingly kick out the latter. However, it is obvious that township work is complex and cannot be accomplished by just two or three people like Guo Quan or He Qing She, so Huang Xinliang's abilities are still needed.

  However, even if Huang Xinliang is used, Shen Huai will still have to severely suppress him, and try to wear away his loyalty to Du Jian as much as possible.

  Shen Huai was thinking about the matter and called Guo Quan in to discuss the establishment of Zilu Home Textiles, a joint venture between the town and Chu Yiliang. The office door knocked again, and Huang Xinliang walked in panting, Shen Huai's eyebrows slightly furrowed, asking: "What's going on now?"

  The party and government office is on the third floor, Shen Hua is working on the first floor, Huang Xinliang insists that there are things to be done in person, this running up and down also makes a body of over 160 pounds somewhat unbearable.

  Huang Xinliang saw Shen Hua's dissatisfaction and felt a little discouraged in his heart. He carefully observed Shen Hua's expression and said cautiously: "There is someone who claims to be from the Ministry of Agriculture, specifically asking for Secretary Shen..."

  "Ministry of Agriculture?" Shen Huan asked in puzzlement.

  The Ministry of Agriculture, even if there is any official business involving Mei Creek Town, cannot directly contact the town. Everything has a procedure there. He doesn't remember anyone from the Song family working at the Ministry of Agriculture and didn't think that anyone from the Song family would take the initiative to contact him.

  Guo Quan said: "It can't be that someone is impersonating the Ministry of Agriculture, right? I heard other towns have been cheated like this too."

  It's not uncommon these days to see fake central or higher-level government agencies going to the grassroots level to commit fraud; our party and government offices have also subscribed to several magazines and newspapers, all of which are allegedly mandatory subscription tasks imposed by higher authorities, but that's still okay.

  "Did he leave his phone number?" Shen Huan asked.

  As a rule, whether it is a phone call or someone coming to find Shen Hua, the party and government office usually has to intercept the phone or person first, ask for instructions, and then decide whether to let the phone or person in, so as not to disturb Shen Hua's work with unnecessary calls or visits.

  "Hmm, the other party hung up the phone. Secretary Shen, you can call back when it's convenient for you." Huang Xinliang handed over a piece of paper with a string of numbers written on it.

  Shen Hua took a look and said: "It's indeed the phone number of the Central Committee, it's really strange."

  The central government ministries and commissions occupy several special telephone number segments, although it is not necessarily possible to figure out which department they belong to, but generally can confirm that they are not ordinary civilian telephones.

  Kuo Chuan and Huang Xinliang also found it strange that the Zhongyang Department could have something to do with the township, but they didn't ask anything and both took the initiative to back out.
