The proposal for the appointments had been finalized. That was the main matter on today's agenda, but they could not discuss only that. There were certainly other issues, such as the renovation of the Old County Party Committee Compound. Dong Xuebin had decided on this discussion beforehand and handed full responsibility to Meng Hanmei's County Party Committee Office, ordering them to begin immediately. As for the slight shortage of fiscal funds, they could pay the construction team part of the money first and slowly figure out the rest later. They could only take it one step at a time. After all, the New County Party Committee Compound had been demolished, so renovating the old compound was an unplanned expense. It had never been considered beforehand, and no funds had been allocated for it. They would have to gradually make up the shortfall.

All the agenda items had been discussed.
Dong Xuebin had even more control over this Standing Committee meeting than he had at the first one after taking office. He practically held absolute authority to speak at the meeting. Every proposal had been implemented and decided according to his intentions and plans. Zhang Dongfang and the Zhang faction had passively agreed to some proposals and remained silent on others, which amounted to tacit acceptance. They had raised virtually no objections. That alone said enough. If Zhang Dongfang had thought his side stood a chance, he surely would not have been so silent. Clearly, Zhang Dongfang knew Dong Xuebin's momentum was at its peak and that the timing was unfavorable, so he had settled for the next best thing. On many issues, he and his people neither supported nor opposed anything. With Dong Xuebin's prestige soaring today, the Zhang faction likely had no way to confront him
