Xia Yuze did not directly answer Lu Tao's words, but asked rhetorically: "My sister said that you have a good relationship with Minister Fu of the Organization Department of the County Party Committee and Secretary Xie of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, right?"

Lu Tao was a little surprised and asked, "Who did she listen to?"

Xia Yuze smiled and said: "My father was the political commissar of the county public security bureau before he died, and the current deputy director Zhou Youliang is my father's old subordinate, who used to walk around my house often. The information that you have a good relationship with Minister Fu and Secretary Xie is what he revealed to my sister. ”

Lu Tao asked again: "Deputy Director Zhou has a good relationship with Minister Fu and Secretary Xie, why don't you just ask him to go to Minister Fu and Secretary Xie for help?"

Xia Yuze sighed and said, "Deputy Director Zhou has already approached Minister Fu and Secretary Xie several times for my sister's promotion, but they are vague every time and are unwilling to accept it. Later, Deputy Director Zhou analyzed it and felt that they also had difficulties: Because the current Taolin County Party Committee is actually the 'family of the world' of Secretary Luo Qiulin, and he has the final say in everything, especially in the selection and appointment of cadres: Whoever he wants to promote, no other member of the Standing Committee dares to oppose it; no one dares to say anything about whom he wants to remove him. It is estimated that Minister Fu and Secretary Xie both knew that Luo Qiulin wanted to promote Zhang Yaling, so they didn't dare to agree to help my sister. ”

Lu Tao asked a little puzzled: "Luo Qiulin is so dictatorial and domineering, are the other leaders of the county party committee so willing to be his puppets? There will always be a few upright and bloody leaders who stand up against him, I don't believe that so many members of the Standing Committee of the county party committee are soft bones and cowards who are obedient!"

Xia Yuze smiled bitterly and said: "There must be bloody leaders, listen to my sister, the deputy secretary of the county party committee and the executive deputy county magistrate of the previous session are all demobilized cadres in the army, and they are very individual and courageous. They were not accustomed to Luo Qiulin's authoritarian and dictatorial style, and they had contradicted him many times, and even slapped the table at the Standing Committee to quarrel with him. As a result, after serving only one year, the deputy secretary of the county party committee was transferred out of Taolin to serve as deputy director of the Songshan City Cultural Bureau, while the executive deputy county magistrate was put on file for investigation by the Songshan City Commission for Discipline Inspection and later sentenced to three years in prison. ”

Lu Tao asked in surprise: "Does Luo Qiulin have such great ability? Standing Committee of the county party committee, he can also destroy whoever he wants? This is too ridiculous!"

"Brother, this is the basic ecology of officialdom now, and it is not ridiculous at all. Why does Luo Qiulin have such great ability? In the final analysis, it is because he has people above him. Gong Hangao, the former secretary of the Songshan Municipal Party Committee, had a special appreciation for Luo Qiulin, believing that he had courage, courage, and pioneering spirit, so he defended him everywhere;

When Lu Tao heard the words "Liu Shuangyan", he suddenly remembered the story that Huang Zeke told him last time that Li Weijun was the "pick-up man", and he was shocked with a "ahhhh

Ten years ago, Li Haiping was the secretary of the Taolin County Party Committee, and Luo Qiulin was the director of the county party committee office at that time. Luo Qiulin first found Liu Hong's eldest daughter Liu Feiyan as a lover, and then introduced Liu Feiyan's sister Liu Shuangyan to Li Haiping. At that time, some people who knew the inside story joked that Li Haiping was the leader of Luo Qiulin in the county party committee, and Luo Qiulin was Li Haiping's brother-in-law in private. Haha!"

After two haha, Xia Yuze got back to business: "It is precisely because of the support of the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor that Luo Qiulin has had absolute authority from the first day he became the secretary of the county party committee. If the other leaders of the county party committee do not listen to him and do not share his mind, he will take advantage of his relationship with the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor to find ways to kill him. Therefore, for the sake of their own career and net worth, the later members of the Standing Committee of the county party committee could only flatter him and obediently obey him against their will, and finally formed a 'Yiyantang' situation in which the entire county party committee team was decided by him alone. ”

Lu Tao frowned and said, "If that's the case, even if I come forward to find Minister Fu and Secretary Xie, I won't be able to help your sister! Now that Luo Qiulin has clearly said that he wants to promote Zhang Yaling, according to what you just said, Minister Fu and Secretary Xie can only listen to Luo Qiulin's words and support the promotion of Zhang Yaling according to his intentions, what is the use of me going to them?"

Xia Yuze glanced at him meaningfully, and said carefully: "Brother, the situation is different now. It turned out that Gong Hangao, the secretary of the municipal party committee who protected and admired Luo Qiulin the most, had been transferred out of Songshan, and he had lost one of his most solid and stable backers. Listening to my sister, the new secretary Zhou Yihong is more upright, and he definitely won't like an arrogant subordinate like Luo Qiulin. Moreover, the most important thing is: you have a very good relationship with Secretary Zhou, and I heard that your father is Secretary Zhou's comrade-in-arms and once saved his life, right?"

Lu Tao nodded, with a confused expression on his face, and asked: "Does your sister want me to go to Secretary Zhou for help? First of all, your sister is promoted to a deputy section-level leader, and the power of selection and appointment is completely in the hands of the county party committee, and the city party committee is completely out of reach; second, when Secretary Zhou first arrived, he was definitely not willing to go to Luo Qiulin to greet and intercede for the promotion of a deputy section-level cadre, and I was not too embarrassed to trouble him for such a thing. ”

Xia Yuze hurriedly said, "Brother, you misunderstood what I meant. The reason why I mentioned Secretary Zhou is mainly to explain to you: The current situation has changed, Luo Qiulin has lost his most important backer, and it is estimated that it will be a bit difficult for him to kill whoever he wants like before. So my sister hopes that you will go to Minister Fu and Secretary Xie and ask them to make up their minds to help her. In addition, Su Yetai is now bent on settling with Secretary Zhou, and he also knows your special relationship with Secretary Zhou, so I want you to come forward to find him, hoping that he will support my sister on the issue of promotion regardless of his past suspicions. As long as these three people are willing to speak for my sister, there is an 80% chance that this matter will be successful. ”

Lu Tao asked a little puzzled: "If Luo Qiulin, secretary of the county party committee, insists on not promoting your sister, even if the county magistrate Su, Minister Fu, and Secretary Xie support him, it will be useless! As far as I know, in the selection and appointment of cadres, the secretary has the final decision. ”

Xia Yuze smiled and said, "Of course I know this. However, there is a new situation that you may not be aware of: Just two months ago, someone wrote an anonymous letter to the Municipal and Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, reflecting many problems of Luo Qiulin, the core of which is dictatorship and hegemony, and engaging in 'one word' in the selection and appointment of cadres, which violates the principle of democratic centralism.

Luo Qiulin did not know from which channel he learned the contents of the report letter, and in order to deal with the investigation of his superiors, he immediately drew up a rule: In the future, all issues related to the selection and appointment of cadres will be subject to a voting system, and in strict accordance with the principle of 'the minority obeys the majority,' the candidates to be promoted will be determined according to the results of the vote, and the secretary must also obey this result when making the final decision. I think this rule he made is where my sister's hope lies. ”
