Chapter 802 Appointment Meeting, Qin Chuan's Lecture
On the dais in the conference room, Minister Zhao sat in the middle, Qin Chuan sat to his right, and Political Commissar Li Guojun sat to his left.
All members of his leadership team were seated below the dais, as were all the middle-level cadres of the Dongchuan Municipal Public Security Bureau and the deputy directors of the grassroots police stations.
In any local city, the Public Security Bureau is an absolute power department and a force with real power. Although it is not a standing committee unit such as the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Organization Department, or the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, it is unmatched in terms of its comprehensive coverage and the actual value of its power.
Moreover, the appointment of a municipal public security bureau chief is usually issued by the provincial public security department, and then the appointment is carried out only after the municipal party committee approves it. The appointment document is issued by the municipal party committee, but this so-called document issued by the municipal party committee is actually just a formality.
The director of a municipal public security bureau is usually concurrently held by the vice mayor, and most of them are at the deputy provincial level.
However, there are some exceptions. For example, Qin Chuan was at the level of a full-fledged division chief when he served as the director of the Nanchuan Municipal Public Security Bureau.
When Qin Chuan served as the director of the Nanchuan Municipal Public Security Bureau, he did not concurrently hold the position of deputy mayor, so he was not at the deputy provincial level.
Whether Qin Chuan will be appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Dongchuan Municipal Party Committee and then as Vice Mayor remains to be seen. Qin Chuan himself is currently unaware of whether he will report to Yang Jinguo or Lin Zhengguo; neither of them has mentioned this matter, and it doesn't really matter to Qin Chuan.
He is only 27 years old, not even 28 years old yet. It is unprecedented for a cadre to be appointed as the director of a municipal public security bureau so quickly. He should be the only one in the country to do so.
It's not uncommon for someone in their late twenties to be a division chief; in fact, it's quite common, especially within ministries.
While there aren't a ton of twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old division-level officials, there are about seven, eight, or even ten in every department.
However, the vast majority of them enjoy the benefits but have no real power, and most of them are in technical positions.
In some ministries, the leaders of some departments and bureaus are at the provincial level, while only some of the section chiefs are at the full or deputy section level, and some of them even enjoy the treatment of deputy provincial level officials.
For example, if Qin Chuan had chosen to stay in the army at that time, he would have served as a deputy director, which is normally a deputy director level position, and he would naturally have been promoted on schedule.
After the promotion, he would be at the level of a full division chief. If Qin Chuan had not chosen to return to Linjiang Province at that time, and had served as a deputy division chief in a ministry, he would have been promoted to full division chief in two or three years. Although the progress would have been slower than it is now, it would have been more stable.
The key point is that no one expected the Linzhou Public Security Bureau in Qinchuan to act so outstandingly, and the same was true in Nanchuan City. They proceeded steadily and methodically, while also employing iron-fisted tactics.
However, the most important reason why Qingchun was able to return to Linjiang from Nanchuan City in less than a year was the provincial appointment of him as the director of the Dongchuan City Public Security Bureau.
Of course, in a ministry, such promotions are actually quite rare, because there are more than just one deputy director; there are two or three directors above them. It's not easy to find a director who is about to retire or be promoted. Of course, for Lin Yueting's mother, who is the head of a ministry, finding such a department would be quite easy.
Minister Zhao began reading the appointment documents.
"Comrades, I will now announce the Dongchuan Municipal Party Committee's Document No. 203 of 2013."
Qin Chuan was appointed as a member of the Party Committee and Secretary of the Party Committee of the Dongchuan Municipal Public Security Bureau.
"Now announcing Dongchuan City 2013 Dongzu Cadre Appointment Document No. 67."
Qin Chuan has been appointed as the Director of the Dongchuan City Public Security Bureau.
"Now, Comrade Li Guojun will make a statement on behalf of the leadership of the Dongchuan Municipal Public Security Bureau."
Li Guojun's statement was brief.
"Minister Zhao, on behalf of the leadership of the Dongchuan Municipal Public Security Bureau, I would like to express our firm support for the Dongchuan Municipal Party Committee's appointment of Qin Chuan as the head of the Dongchuan Municipal Public Security Bureau. In our future work, we will resolutely stand around the leadership team headed by Comrade Qin Chuan. We will strictly abide by discipline and obey orders."
Minister Zhao nodded and then looked at Qin Chuan to the side.
In the ranking of cadres at all levels of the municipal party committee, Minister Zhao's ranking is actually very high.
Although he may not be considered the third-highest-ranking official in the city, his power is actually very substantial, as he holds the authority to recommend candidates for promotion.
Everyone would think highly of them.
Qin Chuan is currently the director of the Public Security Bureau, but not yet the deputy mayor of the city. However, in Minister Zhao's view, Qin Chuan has a much brighter future than himself.
Qin Chuan's background is generally known to anyone with connections and status in Linjiang Province.
This was a talent that Vice Governor Yang Jinguo had specifically noticed and promoted when he was in Xing'an City, not to mention his relationship with Provincial Party Secretary Lin Zhenguo.
The fact that the other party was able to rise from an ordinary intern police officer in a township police station to the current position of division chief in less than three years is probably unprecedented in the entire history of Linjiang Province.
Not to mention that the other party is a national hero with countless first-class merit awards. Such a person has outstanding abilities and a strong background, and he is bound to soar to great heights sooner or later.
In addition, Qin Chuan is currently the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. After becoming the Party Secretary, he will also serve as the Chief Inspector of the Dongchuan Municipal Public Security Bureau. However, the appointment is issued by the Provincial Department, so it will be a bit later.
The director of the municipal public security bureau wields a great deal of power. As the director, he oversees daily administrative work and has significant influence over the bureau's finances, procurement, personnel appointments, and so on. In some situations, he can be considered the sole authority in the bureau.
In addition to administrative management functions, the director of the Public Security Bureau is also an important decision-maker and key person in charge of criminal cases in the entire city's Public Security Bureau.
Although there is a deputy director in charge of criminal investigation within the Public Security Bureau, in reality, the director of the Public Security Bureau is the highest decision-maker and commander of criminal investigation cases within the Public Security Bureau.
In addition to their internal duties and missions, the heads of municipal public security bureaus often concurrently serve as deputy mayors and members of the municipal party committee, as well as deputy secretaries of the municipal political and legal committee.
This shows just how valuable a position as a municipal-level public security bureau chief truly is.
Of course, not all police chiefs also serve as members of the municipal party committee standing committee; some are simply appointed as vice mayors.
But for Qin Chuan, none of these things mattered; it was just a matter of time before things naturally fell into place.
Unconsciously, Minister Zhao looked at Qin Chuan with an expression as calm as a breeze.
"Alright, now let's welcome Director Qin Chuan to speak with applause."
When Minister Zhao asked Li Guojun to speak, he said "statement," but when it came to Qin Chuan, he changed it to "speech." Although there's only a two-word difference, it's immediately clear which is more important.
