In the county party committee assembly hall, at another meeting of all the county's leadership cadres, after Fang Gushan announced Xie Yi's appointment, Xie Yi officially became a member of the Li County Party Committee, standing committee member, and deputy secretary.
At this time, there was no regulation for appointing leading cadres, and it was entirely possible for one to be promoted several times or even more in a single year. Xie Yi had been promoted from the city's youth league committee to Ta County only half a year ago. Now, he was promoted again to serve as a full-time deputy secretary for Li County Party Committee, as there wasn't any clear age or tenure limit for promoting cadres.
This regulation would not be officially implemented until two years later. Nie Zhenbang could be said to have benefited from the situation, only being able to achieve the leap from deputy to full-time official in just three short months.
