Time flies, the white horse flies, and it is 2006 in a blink of an eye.

At the end of February, Yang Weimin was elected vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) at the Hexi Provincial Political Consultative Conference, and was subsequently removed from the post of secretary of the Anxi Municipal Party Committee by the provincial party committee, completely bidding farewell to the political arena in Anxi.

In March, the Ninth Congress of the Communist Party of China in Anxi City elected a new municipal party committee. He Yuntian was elected secretary of the Anxi Municipal Party Committee.

Soon after, Ye Peiying, director of the Cultural Bureau, was elected deputy mayor of Anxi City, in charge of education, science, culture and health, and became Liu Hong's direct leader.

At this time, it was rumored in the political circles of Anxi that the newly arrived Secretary He wanted to readjust the cadres on a large scale, change the personnel structure of the cadres in Anxi, and reshape a cadre team that was politically firm, efficient in work, and honest in style.

In the face of the changes in the Anxi Municipal Bureau, Liu Hong believes that the development of the cause is inseparable from the strong support of the superiors, and the top priority is to need the new municipal party committee leaders to know themselves, appreciate themselves, reuse themselves, and quickly establish a relationship of mutual trust between superiors and subordinates.

She didn't worry about Ye Peiying, because everyone used to be a female cadre at the department level, and they often met when they held meetings in the city, at least they had a decent face.

As for the newly appointed Secretary He, he must take the initiative and speak out first, and must not let those unreasonable guys affect Secretary He's opinion of himself.

Liu Hong decided to take time out to meet He Yuntian and personally report to him and ask for instructions.

Liu Hong came to the familiar municipal party committee building early in the morning and took the elevator up to the eighth floor where the office of the municipal party committee leader was located. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she was surprised to see a room full of people in the office of the secretary of the municipal party committee. They were all waiting for He Yuntian's reception.

Liu Hong thought to herself: This will not be her turn until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon? She had an idea and came up with a trick. She called the secretary of the municipal party committee secretary to the corridor, quietly stuffed him with a fitness annual card, and then said her request.

The little secretary understood, and immediately reciprocated, and used his small privilege to let Liu Hong add a plug to meet He Yuntian in advance.

Liu Hong enthusiastically reported to He Yuntian the important achievements made by Anxi TV over the years, and then humbly asked him for instructions.

He Yuntian listened carefully to Liu Hong's work report, and put forward work requirements to her with a serious expression: "Comrade Liu Hong, the news media must firmly grasp the initiative in the guidance of public opinion and do a good job as the mouthpiece of the party and the people. It is necessary to closely focus on the central tasks of the municipal party committee, accurately serve the overall situation of reform and opening up, and ensure that help is not caused chaos. ”

Liu Hong sat on the edge of the sofa with half of his buttocks hanging in the air and half of his buttocks, listening respectfully to the instructions, recording the main points of He Yuntian's speech in a small notebook from time to time, and nodding his head in agreement: "Yes." Right. Secretary He, please rest assured that you and the Municipal Party Committee. Our TV station resolutely implements the important instructions of Secretary He, works hard, innovates boldly, and makes Anxi TV bigger and stronger!"

Liu Hong cautiously exited He Yuntian's office, and suddenly felt empty in his heart. He Yuntian acted like a businessman, neither affirming or praising the TV station, nor putting forward any specific criticisms. What kind of person is he? Liu Hong couldn't figure it out for a while.

She went to the office of Deputy Mayor Ye Peiying on the 7th floor.

Ye Peiyingyi saw Liu Hong and immediately got up, warmly beckoned her to sit down, and while personally making her a cup of tea, she praised Liu Hong for being able to dress up and look very young and beautiful.

When talking about work after the greetings, Ye Peiying just listened to Liu Hong's report quietly, and did not express any opinions, and finally reminded her that she must do a good job and not have problems at this juncture.

Liu Hong returned empty-handed, and suddenly felt the pressure of survival.

Spring and summer passed quickly, and she saw that the municipal party committee and the municipal government did not take any action against the TV station, so she gradually felt at ease to work.

One day, the head of the organization department of the municipal party committee suddenly talked to Liu Hong, and said politely but very formally: "Director Liu, you see, you have been working in the post of director of the TV station for 7 years, and the time is too long, and you need to broaden your horizons. The Municipal Party Committee plans to give you a rotation and arrange for you to be the director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau. Please prepare for the handover as soon as possible. ”

Liu Hong had never considered leaving the TV station, and he was stunned for a while when he heard this arrangement, and then hurriedly explained: "Minister, you may not know very well, the TV station is a business unit, and it cannot be rotated according to the model of district and county leaders. That would cause huge and irreparable damage to the party's cause and the cause of the television station. ”

The head of the organization department resolutely told Liu Hong: "Director Liu, this is a decision of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee to study collectively, and it will not be changed at will due to personal reasons. I hope that you will strengthen your study, improve your theoretical level, strengthen your party spirit and principles, and achieve excellent results in your new position. ”

The head of the organization department then asked: "Who is suitable for the post of director of the television station?" ”

Liu Hong thought for a while, and said extremely reluctantly: "Wu is not a comrade." He has strong work ability, obeys the organizational arrangement, stresses the overall situation and style, and is the most suitable candidate to be the director. ”

Liu Hong knows very well in his heart that in terms of work ability and management level, Cao Jianhua is a well-deserved first choice, but there is a greater probability that Wu Shifei will completely copy his established line. Liu Hong doesn't want the Anxi TV station he has carefully built to change its face and give up all its previous achievements.

Although Liu Hong was very reluctant, he still came to work at the Anxi Cultural Bureau on time in order to obey the organizational arrangement.

On her first day on the job, she leaned forward on the director's large desk, absentmindedly flipping through a stack of past papers.

"Knock knock. There was a knock at the door.

Liu Hong immediately straightened up, puffed up his chest, and quickly cheered up. She warned herself that she must never show weakness in front of others. Liu Hong, your name is strong.

"Come in. Liu Hong's voice was crisp and high, and his sentences were concise and decisive.

Pushing the door in, it was a middle-aged woman with a beautiful face dressed in a bright outfit.

Liu Hong recognized her at a glance. She is Yao Jing, a famous actor in the city's Peking Opera Troupe.

Yao Jing staggered to the middle of the office, then stopped her small steps, put her hands in the position of her heart, and posed for a stage appearance.

Liu Hong felt very ridiculous when he saw Yao Jing's pretentious posture, but he still held back in order to show the majesty of the director.

"Secretary Liu, Director Liu, a warm welcome. Without waiting for Liu Hong to speak, Yao Jing said in a standard Peking Opera tone. "You don't know, I've heard of your name for a long time, and I really worship you. ”

Liu Hong didn't want to listen to flattering words at this time, so he said expressionlessly: "Oh." Do you have anything to do with me?"

Yao Jing immediately put down her posture, sat on the sofa in front of Liu Hong, a few tears welled up in her eyes, and told her grievances: "Secretary Liu, Director Liu, I, Yao Jing, entered the Municipal Peking Opera Troupe after graduating from the art school at the age of 18. A while ago, our Cultural Affairs Bureau purchased a house in a group, and all the leaders of the bureau were 130 square meters of big houses. Put me and ordinary actors together, a standard, divided into a small house of 120 square meters. Can I not be angry? I don't compete with you for the position of bureau leader, you should always give me the treatment of bureau leader, right?"

Liu Hong said seriously: "I already know about this matter. If you want to live in a big house, you can't afford to pay a little more. ”

Yao Jing grabbed the white and said: "Don't you know? ”

Liu Hong felt that Yao Jing was a little unreasonable, so he said angrily: "The house was divided eight lifetimes ago, and everyone has already finished decorating and living in it, what's the use of you telling me these things now? Besides, you can go to Vice Mayor Ye." When the house was divided, she was in charge of the Cultural Affairs Bureau. ”

Yao Jing confessed to Liu Hong crookedly that she regarded her as a caring person, so she brought up these old things, and hoped that Secretary Liu and Director Liu would lead the Cultural Affairs Bureau to spread their wings and fly high. At the end, she also meaningfully told Liu Hong that a certain leader in the city particularly loved Peking Opera was her hardcore ticket holder.

Yao Jing inked for a long time and finally left.

Liu Hong got a moment of tranquility and planned to continue reading the document.

"Knock knock. There was another knock on the door.

Liu Hong straightened up again, puffed up his chest, and quickly cheered up, his voice was crisp and high, and his sentences were concise and decisive: "Come in." ”

Pushing the door in, there was a fat strong man, about 50 years old, with a flushed face, staring at a pair of big round eyes, and panting for air in his mouth.

Liu Hong also knew him. He is a famous actor Hong Zhang of the City Qin Opera Troupe.

Hong Zhang first greeted Liu Hong with a loud Shaanxi accent: "Liu Ju, hello." Without waiting for Liu Hong to speak, he spoke quickly and loudly about how brilliant his acting career was, how he was praised by the leaders of the provincial and municipal party committees, and so on.

Liu Hong patiently listened to Hong Zhang's narration, and asked with a smile, "What are you looking for me?"

Hong Zhang replied: "The Qin Opera Troupe now only pays me a basic salary, and does not give a penny of bonuses! Life has become like this! It is really not as good as it used to be! A bunch of losers!"

Liu Hong asked Hong Zhang rhetorically: "The Qin Opera Troupe can't perform two plays a year, even if it acts, it is Chen Guzi's rotten sesame, there is no audience, and there is no box office, where is the money to give you bonuses?"

Hong Zhang said quickly: "Then disband the Qin Opera Troupe." ”

Liu Hong smiled and inspired him: "The municipal party committee and the municipal government will not watch the dissolution of the troupe, and will soon come up with a solution." You go back and practice well, and it will come in handy in a few days. ”

Hong Zhang was speechless for a long time and left in a huff.

Liu Hong once again got a moment of tranquility.

"Knock knock. There was another knock at the door.

Liu Hong originally wanted to drink saliva to moisten his smoking throat, but when he heard the knock on the door, he immediately straightened up again, puffed up his chest, quickly cheered up, and said simply: "Come in." ”

Pushing the door in was Huang Dan, a young soloist from the Municipal Art Theater and a member of the Hexi Provincial Youth Federation.

Huang Dan was wearing a white dress, a small red silk scarf around his neck, a slender figure, a graceful demeanor, a goose egg face, willow eyebrows, a small nose, and a disproportionate big mouth. She was young and high-spirited, ignoring Liu Hong's tiredness at all, and began to complain when one leg was still outside the door: "I am a national first-class actor, and the theater has never honored my treatment." The leadership of the Cultural Affairs Bureau did not solve the problem. I'm running out of money to eat!"

Liu Hong listened to Huang Dan recount his grievances with a gloomy face, and then promised to solve the problem within a week after learning about the situation from the theater leaders, and asked her to wait patiently.

Huang Dan left satisfied.

Liu Hong's mood at the moment is terrible: The Cultural Bureau is really chaotic, there are people who are dissatisfied with everything, and everyone who is wronged. How did Ye Peiying manage it before, and why did she become the deputy mayor?

Liu Hong was puzzled.

Liu Hong's former "Three Musketeers" have long since collapsed. Now she can only go to her eldest brother Niu Xinguo to see what tricks he can have, and give herself ideas to get out of the current predicament as soon as possible.

Liu Hong came to the office building of the Department of Land and Resources.

Niu Xinguo smiled and received his angry sister in his big office. Seeing her unforgiving appearance, he was both happy and worried. I'm glad that my sister still has a strong character that doesn't admit defeat. The worry is that if my sister can't control herself, she will touch her principles and even destroy her future.

Niu Xinguo made Liu Hong a cup of Longjing tea that exuded a rich fragrance, and began to slowly persuade his sister: "Xiaohong, cadre rotation is a normal procedure, and you are equivalent to increasing the opportunity for training." At present, the new requirement for the promotion of cadres is that those who must work in two or more posts are eligible for promotion. Even if you have a deep affection for a TV station, you can't stay there forever. If you step out of the TV station and look at your past work from the perspective of a bystander, you will definitely gain something that you didn't recognize in the past. ”

Through a long conversation with Niu Xinguo, Liu Hong felt that the eldest brother was very reasonable, and unconsciously thought of the sentence "A woman has long hair and short knowledge", and felt a trace of guilt for her recklessness, impetuousness and emotionality.

Niu Xinguo finally told Liu Hong: "My good friend Guo Mingkai was just promoted to deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee not long ago. He still wants to get to know you. Let's get to know each other. The most important thing now is to be calm, wait and see, and wait for the right moment. ”

When Liu Hong heard the good news from Niu Xinguo, a flame of hope ignited in his heart.

Liu Hong, who has stagnated in his career and is in trouble, now needs the help of nobles too much.
