Gao Qi put on an expression of being overwhelmed with favor and was about to speak, but Secretary Xie gestured with his hand, "You don't need to be modest. You're the Deputy County Magistrate. In every sense, you are the most suitable to take over."
"It's still early. Don't go back yet. Let's have a meeting first this afternoon."
With Secretary Xie putting it this way, it would be inappropriate for him to pretend he didn't understand or to decline, so he nodded and quietly watched him make a phone call.
The county's standing committee members, several of them were unaware of this matter.
They received sudden calls for a meeting, looking bewildered.
A group of people came to the County Committee. Secretary Xie first announced to everyone the decision to dismiss Cao Xiaolou.
The Propaganda Minister, the Disciplinary Committee Secretary, and a few others stood in shock.
