The high-level leadership of the People's Party had always had a core, but never a core leadership group. Chen Ke was undoubtedly the core; everything revolved around Chen Ke. Or more accurately, Chen Ke turned the systems he had seen with his own eyes and learned personally in the future into reality in this time and space, one by one, according to specific circumstances. As the greatest servant within the People's Party, Chen Ke did not deify himself, but only pointed out the fact that he was a servant. All comrades realized that without Chen Ke, there would be no People's Party and no liberated areas. Since it was a fact that Chen Ke's service was indispensable from the perspective of the interests of the People's Party and even China, the comrades of the People's Party faced the facts, recognized the facts, and no longer tried to deprive Chen Ke of his leadership position.

As for the various heroes within the party, their status appeared quite interesting. The People's Party was indeed powerful and seemingly invincible at present, but calculating from the decision of the eight-member group to establish the People's Party in 1905, the establishment time of this political party was only 12 years. The comrades of the Politburo went up and down, and the party and government cadres in various places moved through various positions like a revolving lantern. Some persisted, some never recovered after a setback, some chose to leave, some were expelled from the party, and some were imprisoned or even shot for violating the law.

Cooperation was one thing, but accepting XX's leadership for a term of 5 years institutionally from now on was another matter. Fortunately, Chen Ke had been propagating like brainwashing for twelve years that "the embodiment of personal value stems from the realistic needs of society and groups, so leadership positions are to serve the interests of society and groups. The more people served, the higher the technical content of service, and the greater the power." If this concept hadn't been talked about every day and every year, along with criticism and self-criticism at party committee meetings, and various regulations, education, correction, and even executions by the Discipline Inspection Commission and the People's Internal Affairs Committee, this kind of propaganda would not have "taken root in the hearts of the people."

In any case, everyone in the People's Party already understood that this time it was really necessary to establish and perfect the organizational structure. This round would determine the status of many people. Zhang Yu knew himself that he didn't have any special popularity, and deep down he was really unwilling to be subordinate to others. Although many people tried to encourage Zhang Yu to become a member of the new Standing Committee of the Politburo, Zhang Yu coldly refused.

Until Qi Huishen came over and discussed the candidates for the Standing Committee of the Politburo while drinking with Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu simply replied coldly: "Minister Qi, if the two of us talk about this, will it make people think that we are suspected of setting up another central committee? This should be a matter for the Party Committee to discuss. You say we reach an offensive and defensive alliance; what is this? Say whatever you have at the party meeting."

Qi Huishen laughed loudly, "Comrade Zhang Yu, then I inform you in the name of the Minister of Organization. Recently I have a problem, which is the problem of comrades in various places privately engaging in organization departments. If dealt with harshly, I'm afraid comrades won't understand or accept it. If not dealt with harshly, I'm afraid comrades will think this is just a gust of wind. Making this propaganda long-term, talking about it every day and every year, who wouldn't be annoyed? Do you have any suggestions?"

"I also have no solution to this problem," Zhang Yu replied in a cold voice. "How should I put it? There is just such a bunch of people who simply don't listen. They hold small meetings at the drop of a hat, and look for friends and relatives when they encounter problems. Asking them to do self-criticism, the thought of dealing with it perfunctorily accounts for the majority. They didn't do much self-criticism, but instead felt that someone snitched, that this was destroying organizational unity. If they really disregard organizational unity, I would have punished them. With their bear-like appearance, dealing with them is a sure thing every time."

Qi Huishen had managed the Internal Affairs Committee for a long time. The Internal Affairs Committee had been purged three times by himself, from the top to the gatekeepers at the bottom without missing a single one. Playing political tricks was really not worth mentioning for Qi Huishen. His biggest problem now was how to make comrades realize how to play political tricks while not being stupid enough to play with fire and burn themselves.

Nodding deeply, Qi Huishen said: "Minister Zhang, I know you have always cherished comrades, but it was easier to say when we had fewer people. Now with so many people, it won't work without seizing typical cases. The problem is, if we do it on such a large scale, will people say we are luring snakes out of their holes?"

Zhang Yu sneered and said: "Comrades who can reach the Central Committee, the Politburo, and the Central Committee all have a characteristic. Everyone knows what they can do and what they can't do. Let me tell you something. A few days ago, my wife came home and told me something. she played table tennis with Chairman Chen's wife, and Chairman Chen's daughter also went. There weren't many table tennis tables, so my wife held Chairman Chen's daughter and watched from the side. She even let Chairman Chen's daughter hold the table tennis paddle, and she held Chairman Chen's daughter's wrist waving the paddle there."

Chen Ke's daughter, Chen Qianru, was beautiful and smart, a little doll very much liked by these high-level officials of the People's Party. Hearing Zhang Yu talk about this little girl, Qi Huishen was also very interested. A smile couldn't help appearing on his face as he asked: "Then what did Chen Qianru say?"

"Chen Qianru said, Auntie, I came to play, I didn't come to play table tennis." Speaking of this, there was still no smile on Zhang Yu's face. "My wife is not even as good as a child. She spoke so clearly, yet my wife didn't understand. At that time, my wife said, Auntie also came to play. Chairman Chen's daughter immediately told my wife, Auntie, you are different from me; you didn't come to play, you came to exercise."

After listening, Qi Huishen laughed loudly, "There is such a thing? When student Chen Qianru grows up, we must let her come to work in our department!"

Zhang Yu rolled his eyes at Qi Huishen, "Maybe she is not willing to do your work, but willing to work in the Propaganda Department or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Qi Huishen didn't care about Zhang Yu's rebuke. He clicked his tongue in wonder, "How was this child raised? With just this insight, most adults are not as sensible as her."

"Such a tiny little girl knows what she doesn't want to do and pushes it away quickly. She is really not a busybody! But my wife, almost thirty, is not as good as a little girl. She kept chattering there about how good exercise is, how exercise can promote development and health. How playing table tennis can coordinate the body, with close coordination of hands, brain, and eyes. After coming back, after telling me all this, she even said Chairman Chen's daughter was squeamish. Oh my! I was so angry! Later I asked my wife, have you investigated Chairman Chen's daughter? How do you know she doesn't exercise? How do you know her daughter hasn't played table tennis? What kind of story are you making up?" While speaking, Zhang Yu poked the table fiercely with his finger as if venting his anger, making the table thump loudly.

Listening to Zhang Yu angrily recounting his wife's "deeds," even Qi Huishen, a usually quite serious person, couldn't help laughing back and forth. Zhang Yu couldn't hold it back either. His stern face relaxed, and he simply laughed loudly together. He said breathlessly while laughing, "As a result, my wife even felt that I, Zhang Yu, as a person... as a person was unreasonable, with too arrogant an attitude, and not pursuing progress. Finally, she swore not to let my son be so... so squeamish in the future, and must make my son a brave person who is not afraid of difficulties. I f*cking wanted to die at that time."

Hearing this, Qi Huishen was already shedding tears and was only short of rolling on the ground laughing.

The two capable generals of the People's Party managed to stop laughing with difficulty, blew their noses, and washed the tears from their faces. While wiping his hands with a towel, Zhang Yu said with extreme helplessness: "Comrade Qi Huishen, what do you think I could say at that time? Whatever I said, logically speaking, would be me, Zhang Yu, willing to degenerate and not seeking progress. But Qi Huishen, you can definitely understand, was it me, Zhang Yu, being unreasonable, or my wife being too much of a busybody!" Zhang Yu was truly angry. By the end, his voice had the flavor of a roar.

Qi Huishen certainly wouldn't misunderstand Zhang Yu's meaning, and his face also became very gloomy. Put this principle to those top leading cadres of the People's Party, and everyone basically understood. At any rate, this group of people were guys who had received the harsh ruler education of the old era. Essentially, even with very Westernized knowledge, Chen Ke was essentially this kind of person and had received this kind of education.

Being capable of handling affairs and being a busybody are two completely different concepts, just as bravery and rashness seem to manifest similarly but are absolutely not the same thing. But this kind of thing is hard to explain clearly. Just as Zhang Yu and Qi Huishen could understand what a smart and brave little fellow Chen Ke's daughter Chen Qianru was. If Chen Qianru hadn't seen others play table tennis, hadn't tried playing table tennis herself, how would she know she couldn't play table tennis? And what was more precious was that Chen Qianru could bravely speak the truth seeking from facts, "I came to play." Even if Zhang Yu's wife talked until the sky broke, Chen Qianru had the courage to bear it and didn't care at all whether others would laugh at her.

However, Qi Huishen was also smart enough. He didn't think Zhang Yu was venting his dissatisfaction through narration because he couldn't hold back his emotions. Qi Huishen laughed, "I think, members of the Central Committee of the People's Party, members of the Politburo, and especially members of the Standing Committee of the Politburo, shouldn't be worse than a little girl no matter what."

Zhang Yu raised his eyes and looked at Qi Huishen for a while, but didn't follow up with a single word.

At the preparatory meeting for the Third Plenary Session of the First Central Committee held in July, Chen Ke proposed the vision for the future central structure. The Politburo would set up five Standing Committee members. Every time the Politburo Standing Committee met, the Director of the Central Propaganda Department and the Director of the Central Organization Department would participate in the meeting if needed. According to different meeting contents, relevant Politburo members and Central Committee members would be selected to participate in the meeting. This was the "Five Standing Committee Members System" or "Seven-Member or Nine-Member Meeting System" during the five-year term of the Third Plenary Session.

After listening to Chen Ke's vision, at least Zhang Yu and Qi Huishen already understood who they should vote for and who should be on the list of the five-member Politburo Standing Committee that appeared for the first time in the People's Party. Apart from Chen Ke's unshakeable position as a Standing Committee member, the other four were almost ready to come out.
