Tian Toubao knew very well in his heart that he had almost no hope of engaging in an open campaign. If you can't choose the bright one, you can come to some yin, anyway, it doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, it's a good cat if you catch a mouse. He began to act secretly, hosting banquets, visiting the elderly, buying food and goods for children, and even secretly exchanging money and votes with the villagers, promising to exchange each vote for 50 yuan. In this way, after tossing for half a month, Tian Toubao thought that he had won the battle, and privately told Secretary Lai that the election could start. However, the result disappointed him and disgraced him, and the number of votes was only one-third of Luo Xifeng's. In this way, Luo Xifeng was elected deputy secretary of the party branch of Changlong Village, and Li Jiahan was elected assistant to the village head of Changlong Village. That night, Yijin specially held a small celebratory reception for the two of them at Quanjiafu Manor.

Towards the end of the reception, Secretary Pan, accompanied by Secretary Lai, walked into the restaurant. The hall suddenly became tense and serious

Get up.

Yi Approachable stepped forward, bowed, and said in an apologetic tone: "Secretary Pan, Secretary Lai, I'm sorry, I 、、、"

Secretary Pan interrupted him: "It was my idea to promote Tian Toubao, and it should be me who should say I'm sorry, not respecting the opinions of the villagers, going against the mass line, and being a manifestation of bureaucracy!"

Secretary Lai said: "It's none of Secretary Pan's business, the responsibility lies with me." ”

When the approachable person saw Secretary Lai, he remembered the oral argument with him that day, he really couldn't believe that he had so much courage that day, and he left the secretary of a town party committee alive, and now when he thinks of it, he feels ashamed, as if he is sorry for him. He bowed to Secretary Lai again to apologize.

Secretary Lai's face was unhappy, and his tone was weak: "You're right, it's me who is wrong, and you don't notice it!"

Secretary Pan glanced at the restaurant and asked, "Are you blessing Luo Xifeng and Li Jiahan's promotion?"

The approachable person did not evade: "Yes, I originally wanted to invite Secretary Pan to participate together, but I was worried that you would not appreciate your face." ”

Secretary Pan's gaze suddenly fixed on him: "Stingy, right? Tell you, Secretary Lai and I came tonight to bless you and Luo Xifeng, if you don't invite me, I won't invite you." ”

The approachable blinked, "What do I have to bless me?"

Secretary Pan told Secretary Lai: "You come and make an announcement." ”

Everyone turned their attention to Secretary Lai.

Secretary Lai smiled lightly and deliberately delayed without saying a word.

Secretary Pan urged: "Say it, what are you hesitating about!"

Secretary Lai deliberately cleared his throat, looked at everyone, and said in a reluctant tone: "The county has newly established the Changlong Branch of Tucheng County Tourism Development Company, and the county party committee and county have decided to appoint Comrade Yi Approachable as the general manager of the branch, and Comrade Luo Xifeng as the deputy general manager of the branch. The branch is temporarily located in the village committee of Changlong Village, and the required staff are recruited by the branch itself. ”

Suddenly, the hall burst into thunderous applause.

Yi Approacher was ready to be dismissed, but he didn't expect to be promoted instead of being promoted now, which really surprised him. He and Luo Xifeng stood steadily, surprised and delighted.

Secretary Pan pressed down with both hands, waited for the applause to stop, and said: "The Changlong Branch of Tucheng County Tourism Development Company is a state-owned enterprise, which means that the management system of Changlong Village has changed, from collective management to national management. Despite this, the manager has not changed, and he is still from your Changlong Village. In this way, your identity has also changed, you have changed from a farmer to a cadre and worker of a state-owned enterprise, and at the same time, the interests of the people of Changlong Village have also been raised from collective protection to national protection, and Changlong Village will become a hot land for the development of Tucheng tourism. Approachable, Luo Xifeng, this burden is handed over to the two of you, but you have to pick it well!"

Applause rang out again.

Secretary Pan pulled the approachable person to the corner of the restaurant and whispered: "Changlong Village, as a demonstration point for sightseeing, should not only let tourists see and have fun and live well, but also let tourists eat well. Who do you think is most capable of making tourists eat well?"

The approachable person touched his head and laughed, not to say. Secretary Pan deliberately asked, "Is it you or Luo Xifeng?"

Approachable shook his head.

Secretary Pan asked again: "I know who you are thinking of, otherwise, let's talk together, see if you can't think of a piece." ”

Yi Approacher nodded reluctantly, paused for a while, and said a name, Tian Toubao.

Secretary Pan did not say his name, but took advantage of the situation to go down and said: "I respect your recommendation, and now appoint Tian Toubao as the deputy general manager of Changlong Branch of Tucheng Tourism Development Company, specifically in charge of the development and management of food culture for sightseeing tourism." General Manager Yi, you recommended the person to me, you won't regret it, right?"

Yi Approachable smiled bitterly, knowing that he had fallen for his plan, so he had to reluctantly respond: "I respect Secretary Pan's opinion." ”

Secretary Pan turned to everyone, announced the appointment of Tian Toubao, and prayed to hear a little applause, but no, the hall was so quiet. At this time, Tian Toubao walked into the restaurant accompanied by Tian Xiaohui. The two of them politely hugged their fists to everyone.

Tian Xiaohui said: "Thank you leaders, relatives and neighbors, who can afford my brother and forgive my brother, and give him the opportunity to change his life again and again." I came with my brother tonight to ask him to set rules and make a statement about how to behave and do things in the future in front of everyone. ”

Tian Toubao's expression was entangled, and he looked very wronged. He looked at everyone, stroked his chest, exhaled a breath, and said in a trembling voice: "I, I know that I have done a lot of bad things in the village before, and the villagers have a big opinion of me, but that is in the past, from today onwards, I will definitely let myself have a complete change, sing the food brand of Changlong Village, let Changlong people eat deliciously, and let tourists eat unforgettable." ”

Secretary Pan and Secretary Lai applauded, and the applause was monotonous and weak.

Secretary Lai looked around and asked, "Don't you come here to applaud?"

Secretary Pan also said: "If you don't give applause, does it mean that everyone still can't accept Tian Toubao?"

There was no sound in the hall, and it was surprisingly quiet. There was a stalemate like this for a while, and the silence was broken by Luo Xifeng's voice.

"Secretary Pan, Secretary Lai, it's not that you can't accept Tian Toubao, nor do you not give Tian Toubao applause, but before you see him really change, the applause can't be given to him for the time being, and when he makes achievements and is recognized by the villagers, I promise to make up for the applause owed to him. ”

A chorus of echo rang out in the hall.

Tian Xiaohui also echoed: "What Mr. Luo said is very good, I fully agree, I know that everyone is doing this for my brother's good." My brother used to be a bastard, and he often made everyone angry, but also made me, a sister, angry with him. However, he has a specialty, he knows what tastes good and what tastes bad, especially the traditional cuisine of our Changlong Village and even the whole Tucheng City. He said that from now on, he will put all his mind on food, and he will definitely let Changlong food go out of Changlong, out of Tucheng, and even to the whole country. ”

A mother-in-law muttered: "It's the cowhide that blows across the country!"

There was a bang in the hall, and laughter was like a tide.

Tian Toubao didn't know where to borrow the guts, and howled like a mad cow: "Laugh and laugh, laugh at me if I don't have that ability, right? The train is not pushed, the cowhide is not blown, I Tian Toubao swore in front of everyone today that I can't sing the Changlong food brand within a year, and I take the initiative to resign." ”

The words are poignant and moving. The approachable person expressed his acceptance of Tian Toubao's oath.

After becoming the vice president, Tian Toubao really came to a complete change, and the catering industry he was responsible for has been booming, and there are even many tourists who come alone for the food in Changlong Village. Tian Toubao's influence among the villagers also came to a shocking reversal, so that he later became the successor of the approachable person and fulfilled the glorious dream of the village chief.
