Chapter 58: The Puppet Mayor

After coming out of the town, Wang Zhichang said to Lu Tao angrily: "This Li Weijun is really hateful, no wonder you have a quarrel with him to the point of incompatibility." Now that I know the real situation, I will report to the Dragon Bureau when I go back, and I won't blame you for anything, you can stay here with peace of mind, pay attention to discipline and your words and deeds, as long as you don't get caught by Li Weijun anymore. ”

Lu Tao said gratefully: "Wang Ju, thank you. Please rest assured, I will not violate the discipline of the village, and I will definitely not be caught by Li Weijun with pigtails. ”

After sending Wang Zhichang away, Lu Tao walked to Huaguang Village, and secretly swore in his heart: Li Weijun, this bastard, is really too deceitful, and he must find a way to expose the dirty face of this corrupt element, and it is best to send him to prison......

When he was about to walk to the fork in the road to Huaguang Village, Lu Tao's mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he looked at the caller ID, it was an unfamiliar mobile phone number.

After the phone was connected, a very enthusiastic man's voice came from inside: "Is it Comrade Lu Tao? Hello, I'm Huang Zeke, we've met a few times, do you remember me?"

Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, and after recalling it carefully, he remembered that Huang Zeke was the mayor of Dalong Town, because he rarely came to Huaguang Village, so Lu Tao had only met him once or twice, but he had never been in contact.

"Hello Mayor Huang, I'm Lu Tao, what are your instructions?" Lu Tao thought that Huang Zeke was looking for him because of work, so he asked him "What are your instructions?"

Huang Zeke laughed and said, "I don't dare to give instructions." Just now I saw you coming out of Secretary Li's office, and I happened to be talking to a cadre in the corridor at that time, so I didn't have time to greet you. Where have you been now? Have you eaten?"

"I was about to rush back to the village to cook and eat, and now I am at the fork in the town to Huaguang Village. ”

"Xiao Lu, don't you go back to the village to cook and eat, I'll invite you at noon, just eat at the 'Fenglin Tucai Restaurant' near your current location, okay?"

Lu Tao didn't expect Huang Zeke to suddenly invite himself to dinner, and he couldn't help but be surprised: he and he are unknown to him, and he is still the mayor of the town, why invite himself to dinner for no reason?

So, he said very euphemistically: "Mayor Huang, thank you, I'd better go back to the village for dinner, and I'll invite you next time I have the chance." ”

Huang Zeke hurriedly said: "Xiao Lu, I have something I want to tell you, it just so happens to be lunch time, so I will take the opportunity to talk to you about it." You go to the Maple Grove Restaurant first, and I'll be right over. ”

Lu Tao heard that he had something to find himself, so he couldn't excuse himself, so he had to agree.

About ten minutes later, Huang Zeke rushed to the Fenglin Native Restaurant, shook hands with Lu Tao very warmly, and asked the boss to arrange a small box at the westernmost end of the upstairs, ordered four dishes and two bottles of Red Bull drinks, and then took Lu Tao into the box.

After sitting down in the box, Huang Zeke looked at Lu Tao with very kind eyes, and asked, "Xiao Lu, how does it feel to stay in Huaguang Village?"

Lu Tao didn't know what the relationship between Huang Zeke and Li Weijun was, and he didn't know what he was doing to invite him to dinner today, so he didn't dare to tell him the truth easily, so he replied vaguely: "I feel okay, anyway, it's just to conduct investigations, sort out a little information, and participate in village meetings, and I am not tired from work, but my life is a little inconvenient." ”

Huang Zeke stared at him fixedly, thought sideways for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Lu, is there any contradiction or misunderstanding between you and Secretary Li?"

Lu Tao's heart moved, and he asked rhetorically, "How did you come to this conclusion?"

Huang Zeke hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "Xiao Lu, I have to remind you of something: This morning, we held a meeting of the town party committee, and the topic of the meeting was originally to make arrangements for the central work of the town in July, but at the end of the meeting, Secretary Li suddenly talked about your problem, saying that you have no organization and discipline, have an arrogant and arrogant personality, do not obey the leadership of the town party committee, and have violated the discipline of the village many times, giving a very bad head to other mass work teams, and causing a bad impact.

To this end, he asked Deputy Secretary Jin, who is in charge of mass work, to conduct a strict assessment of the mass work team of your local taxation bureau every month, and to record the problems found and use them as the basis for the year-end assessment of your work team. I also heard that Secretary Li privately told Deputy Secretary Jin that he was going to assess the mass task force of your Local Taxation Bureau as unqualified at the end of the year. From this point of view, he has a very deep prejudice against you!"

The reason why Huang Zeke suddenly invited Lu Tao to dinner today and took the initiative to mention the contradiction between Lu Tao and Li Weijun was actually planned for a long time.

It turned out that Huang Zeke was transferred from another township to Dalong Town as the mayor two years ago, and he wanted to make a career here to lay the foundation for his further promotion.

Unexpectedly, after working for a few months, he found that he had become a puppet with no power in the town, because Li Weijun, the secretary of the party committee, had a domineering and arrogant style, engaged in dictatorship and "one word hall" in the town, and exceeded his authority to a crazy level; he had to intervene in all the affairs of the town, no matter how big or small, whether it was the affairs of the party committee or the government, and it was up to him to have the final say, and Huang Zeke, the mayor of the town, had no right to speak at all, let alone the right to make decisions.

For this reason, Huang Zeke hated Li Weijun so much, but there was nothing he could do: because Li Weijun had a very good relationship with Luo Qiulin, secretary of the county party committee, and his backstage and backer was Fu Lei, the head of the organization, who was not at the same level as Li Weijun's backer. If he tears his face and fights openly against Li Weijun, he will definitely suffer in the end.

So, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and worked as a "puppet mayor" in the shadow of Li Weijun for two years, but deep down in his heart, he was actually very unwilling and unconvinced, and he also longed for the day when he could turn over and get rid of this embarrassing state of "having a job but no power......

Not long ago, he went to Fu Lei's house to meet him, and at noon the two of them drank a bottle of liquor, Fu Lei was a little drunk, and suddenly told him in a somewhat mysterious tone: In Taolin County, there is a person who has a particularly close relationship with Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee. If you want to progress, if you want to get rid of Li Weijun's suppression, you must find ways to catch up with this person.

Fu Lei said that it was Lu Tao of the Local Taxation Bureau, who was now stationed in Huaguang Village, Dalong Town, to help the construction of the new countryside.

When Huang Zeke heard that the person who had a close relationship with Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee was Lu Tao, who was stationed in Huaguang Village, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly learned about Lu Tao's basic situation through various channels, and unexpectedly found that there was a deep contradiction between Lu Tao and Li Weijun......
