Chapter 1153 - 1153

After the reports from the three individuals were completed.

Jeb Ross closed the folder in his hand.

He said, "Of course, there are many more cadres like these three. In the next few days, the organization department will submit a detailed list. As always, one must fulfill the responsibilities of their position. No matter who they are, they must utilize the power granted by the people to the fullest. That's the only way to better serve the people. I've finished speaking."

In the meeting room.

There was a brief silence.

Hadley Thorne and Colter Hall's expressions were very indifferent.

But some people who were not informed in advance already sensed a hint of danger.

The two top leaders formed a rare alliance, declaring war on Dirk Carter.

Or rather, it's not just a simple declaration of war.

At least Hadley Thorne and Colter Hall have already drawn their swords.

Next, it all depends on Dirk Carter's reaction.

Just as Lane Quincy was about to speak.

Dirk Carter suddenly raised his hand and said, "Secretary Thorne, let me say a few words."

This was precisely the intended effect.

Hadley Thorne nodded slightly and said, "Comrade Carter, go ahead."

Dirk Carter glanced around at everyone present.

Paused for a moment, then said, "The opinions raised by Minister Ross from the organization department, I think are very pertinent, especially the few words about fulfilling one's responsibilities. Personally, I agree."

Everyone was taken aback.

What's going on?

Dirk Carter actually agreed?

You know, those three individuals mentioned just now are his own loyal supporters.

If he agrees, doesn't that mean burning bridges after crossing the river?

Then in Silverwood City, who would dare to approach him voluntarily in the future?

Observing the situation.

Colter Hall smiled slightly.

He said, "Comrade Carter is indeed a model of fulfilling responsibilities in his position. So, I also urge everyone to learn more from Comrade Carter, don't hold a position without doing anything. Alright, I won't waste words. Does anyone have any objections?"

Among them.

The only one who might object would be Lane Quincy.

But Dirk Carter has already expressed himself first.

He certainly wouldn't go against him.

So he naturally remained silent.

Hadley Thorne was very satisfied with this result.

Paused for a moment, then said, "Alright, this proposal is considered passed. Comrade Ross, go back and implement this. Try to bring these personnel changes up on the agenda by the meeting on Friday."

"Okay, Secretary Thorne, I will do it as soon as possible."

After Jeb Ross responded to this statement.

He sneakily glanced at Dirk Carter.

This look was filled with pride and arrogance.

As if he had already cornered Dirk Carter.

After the meeting ended.

Dirk Carter had just returned to his office when Lane Quincy followed him in.

"Secretary Carter, can't you see what this means? They're targeting you, why won't you let me speak? Even though I'm relatively weak now, as the deputy secretary of the municipal committee, I still have some authority..."

As soon as he entered.

Lane Quincy angrily said.

Dirk Carter was not in a hurry.

He pulled Lane Quincy to sit on the sofa.

And consoled, "Secretary Quincy, don't be angry."

"How can I not be angry? That Jeb Ross, what is he? He's only been in Silverwood City for a few days, and he's already jumping around?"

"Alright, alright, have a glass of water, soothe your throat."

Dirk Carter handed a cup of water to him.

Said, "Today's standing committee meeting had very clear intentions. Even if we say more, it can't change their thoughts or purposes. Anyway, this matter hasn't been finalized, so we still have time, what's the rush."

"Do you already have a plan?"

Lane Quincy asked.

Dirk Carter nodded.

Said, "Before today's meeting, I got a call from Comrade Joachim Young, asking if his job needed to be adjusted. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but later I thought about it carefully and felt there might be some issues. So, I've already asked Comrade Elbert Rivers to do some background research on Jeb Ross. He should be back soon."

Just after he finished speaking.

There was a knock on the door.

Then Elbert Rivers opened the door and walked in.

"Did you find out?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Elbert Rivers nodded and said, "I found out. This Jeb Ross, Minister Ross, indeed made a small mistake, which is why he was transferred to our Silverwood City."

Upon hearing this.

Lane Quincy was stunned.

He looked at Dirk Carter and asked, "Transferred because of a mistake? You knew this beforehand?"

Dirk Carter shook his head.

He said, "Of course not. I just had some suspicions, so I asked Elbert to check."

"Why suspect?"

"Secretary Quincy, look, Minister Howell Pace was transferred from Aethelburg City. Our Silverwood City's economy ranks fifth in the province, while Aethelburg City ranks ninth. A transfer from low to high, in some sense, is considered a promotion. But Jeb Ross's Crestwood City is different. Last year, its total economy ranked third in the province, and he was just transferred. There are two possibilities: either Jeb Ross is lacking ability, or he made a small mistake."

"Originally, I wasn't so certain, but look, he's only been here for three days and he's already standing up for Hadley Thorne and Colter Hall. What does this say? It says he's eager to do things and find new backers, which may further suggest he has some small issues himself."

Upon hearing this analysis.

Lane Quincy thoughtfully nodded.

He said, "Makes sense."

"Elbert, tell us, what small mistake are we talking about? Is it a lifestyle issue?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Elbert Rivers showed a surprised expression.

He nodded and said, "Yes, it's a lifestyle issue..."

The mistake Jeb Ross made wasn't huge, but also not too small.

It was nothing more than a typical man's problem, unable to control his lower half.

Seven years ago, Jeb Ross's wife passed away due to illness.

Since then, he has been single.

He maintained an image of a hard-working, unlustful middle-aged man. Until one day, he was caught in bed by a subordinate.

This subordinate's name was Taylor Stone.

He was the deputy director of the talent work office in Crestwood City's organizational department, 37 years old this year.

Now, Taylor Stone really couldn't be called attractive, less than 1.6 meters tall, his face covered in bumps, saying he was extremely ugly might be exaggerated, but calling him unremarkable would be understated.

Taylor Stone had a wife named Noelle Zechariah.

Noelle was 36 years old, a very ordinary housewife, nearly 1.7 meters tall, and quite graceful in appearance.

Especially her prominent chest, incredibly noticeable.

She belonged to the pride of the curvy community.

Does this couple pairing seem familiar?

Those who knew them even gave the couple a nickname, Taylor was called Stone Big Brother.

Naturally, Noelle was called Lillian Zechariah.
