On the morning of December 18, in the conference room of the county government, a meeting of members of the government party group was being held.

Present at today's meeting were Niu Bin, the county magistrate, the deputy county magistrates, and two members of the party group: Xiang Yang, director of the county finance bureau, and director of the county development and planning committee. The only absentee was another member of the party group: Chu Tianqi, secretary of the party committee and director of the county public security bureau.

The meeting had come to an end, Niu Bin looked around the room and deliberately stared at Chu Xiaoya, revealing an imperceptible smile. Then he coughed heavily twice and said, "Just now, the party group of the government gave everyone full democracy to discuss the issue of whether Comrade Chu Tianqi should be suspended. The members of the party group also made good use of this right and expressed their opinions. Statements were made in different ways, with different emphases, and on the whole, only a minority disagreed. According to the wishes of the majority, it was decided to suspend Comrade Chu Tianqi from his post......"

"County Magistrate Niu, this is unreasonable, I don't agree. Suddenly, a female voice sounded, interrupting Niu Bin's words.

People don't need to look at it to know who it is, because there is only one female comrade at the scene, who else can it be if it is not Chu Xiaoya? And she is also the only person who clearly expressed her disagreement with the suspension of Chu Tianqi just now.

Niu Bin's face suddenly elongated, the muscles on his face moved a few times, and he quickly returned to normal, and he also put on a smile. He dragged his official tone and said: "County Magistrate Xiao Chu, I know that you have a good relationship with Chu Tianqi, but our county government is a state agency, and we are public servants of the people. As a party cadre and as a member of the government team, you should know what system our state organs implement, right?"

"County Magistrate Niu, our state institutions practice democratic centralism. Centralization is the guidance of the people, and only by practicing a high degree of centralization can we realize the true democracy. The constitution particularly stresses that under the new historical conditions, it is necessary to resolutely prevent and overcome the phenomenon of individual arbitrariness and arbitrariness that violates the principle of democratic centralism. Chu Xiaoya's answer was neither humble nor arrogant.

"The county magistrate of Chu is quite familiar with the recitation, but your last sentence should be expressed like this: The constitution stresses that under the new historical conditions, it is necessary to resolutely prevent and overcome the phenomenon of individual arbitrariness and weakness that violates the principle of democratic centralism. The smile on Niu Bin's face gradually faded, and his voice became much colder, "You can't recite it 100%, it's still willing, but when you execute it, you have to take it out of context, it's wrong and it's very undesirable." ”

To Chu Xiaoya's surprise, Niu Bin, who didn't seem to have much ink, was able to pick out her own language problems, which she didn't expect. Originally, she just wanted to use the words "arbitrary" to block the other party's decision, but she never thought that the other party would buckle a hat taken out of context. She can neither defend nor approve of this comment, Chu Xiaoya didn't know how to answer it correctly for a while.

Niu Bin ignored the people, and continued to popularize the knowledge of principles to the other party: "It is precisely because the people's * lord is the foundation of centralization that I just fully carried forward the people's * lord and let everyone speak freely, in fact, our meetings have always been like this." However, centralization is the guidance of the people, and only by practicing a high degree of centralization can we realize the true democracy and the masters. To put it in layman's terms, it is necessary for the minority to obey the majority, not for the minority to override the majority. Just now, you were the only one who disagreed with everyone and expressed disagreement, which is only 13 percent of the total membership. You are a party cadre and a member of the system, and according to the principle of democratic centralism, you can reserve your opinions, but you must obey everyone's decisions. ”

After a short adjustment just now, Chu Xiaoya had already straightened out her thinking, and she smiled slightly: "Thank you County Magistrate Niu for your allocation, I will definitely study hard in the future and improve my theoretical literacy and execution ability." ”

Niu Bin snorted secretly: A little girl, I can't let you go. Isn't it necessary to bow to Lao Tzu?

"It's just that it is wrong to study the issue of Comrade Chu Tianqi's suspension at today's meeting. Chu Xiaoya said this, stopped, she wanted to observe everyone's expressions.

Hearing Chu Xiaoya's remarks, many people were shocked. Of course, some people can't help but be surprised, more angry.

Chu Xiaoya continued: "First of all, Comrade Chu Tianqi's position was not appointed by the Xuyuan County Government, but by the Organization Department of the Dingye Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal People's Congress, so the county government has no right to suspend him. Secondly, it is even more comical to use the so-called 'Comrade Chu Tianqi off duty for a few days' as an excuse just now. I remember that on 8 November, still in this conference room, still at the meeting of the members of the party group, we once forced Comrade Chu Tianqi to recuse himself, but now we say that he is 'off the post', isn't it ridiculous?

In addition, as far as I know, Comrade Chu Tianqi did not delay his own work during the period when he was asked to recuse himself from the counterfeit drug case, even if he was absent from his post in the past few days, Comrade Li Jian, deputy director of the bureau office, handed in the leave slip on his behalf. Therefore, at such a meeting, it is absurd to study whether Comrade Chu Tianqi is suspended from his post, and it is also to trample on the democratic centralism on the grounds of practicing democratic centralism. ”

Chu Xiaoya's words were heavy enough, and the hat buckle was big enough, and all eyes on the scene were focused on her. Especially Niu Bin's eyes have gradually narrowed, and two cold lights are hidden in them, ready to shoot out at any time.

"Taking 10,000 steps back, even on occasions when Chu Tianqi has the right to study whether Chu Tianqi is suspended, the so-called democratic * lord like today is also a fake democratic * master, and it is even more of a misinterpretation of the original meaning of the word 'centralization' and the practice of hegemony. It is true that I was the only one who clearly opposed it just now, but not standing up to oppose it does not mean that I agree, and many comrades who have taken a firm stand are expressing their disapproval with silence. If you ask the people to raise their hands in approval, I don't think there will be a lot of people, not more than half, let alone two-thirds. How do I feel that this conclusion is too early, and I can't wait?" Speaking of this, Chu Xiaoya stopped and looked at Niu Bin with a smile.

Isn't this a provocation? Is it because a low-ranking deputy county magistrate dares to speak like this to the top government leader? Or is there really something wrong with her and Chu Tianqi? Most people are very puzzled. But there is one thing, if they were asked to express their stance on Chu Tianqi's suspension now, they would definitely not raise their hands in agreement. Chu Xiaoya's big hat is buttoned there, who wants to wear one on their own? Let's see how Niu Bin responds, everyone's eyes turned from Chu Xiaoya to Niu Bin.

Niu Bin's face was very ugly, and while secretly scolding "sassy * goods", he was thinking of refuting the other party's wording. Seeing that the other party was looking at him defiantly, he forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "The county magistrate of Xiaochu is worthy of being in the provincial organs, and his ability to buckle a big hat is better than that of us in the county." Originally, there were some things that I wasn't going to say too bluntly, but the county magistrate of Xiao Chu was so strong, so I might as well say it clearly. All kinds of evidence show that it is precisely because of Chu Tianqi's obstruction in various ways that the counterfeit drug case has not progressed for a long time. Of course, he may not be able to do it alone, and there are some people who are helping him do it. ”

Niu Bin's remarks are also very powerful. He first used a sentence to draw a line between Chu Xiaoya and the others, implying that you, the people from the province, are suppressing us from the county, and you and everyone here are not in the same trench. After him separated like this, he blocked the mouths of many people, if he wanted to help Chu Xiaoya, it would be an enemy of everyone. Then he gave Chu Tianqi the hat of obstructing the case, and insinuated that Chu Xiaoya was "aiding and abusing".

Chu Xiaoya is now mentally prepared enough, although Niu Bin's words are very serious, she does not show any anger, at least she is very calm on the surface, and she seems to be very disdainful of the other party's words.

"It is true that we cannot directly suspend Chu Tianqi, but it is our duty to fulfill the supervision responsibility to a subordinate director. In doing this today, we are actually soliciting the opinions of all members of the party group, and after a unified decision is formed, we will give feedback to the municipal public security bureau, which will then report it to the higher authorities. Speaking of this, Niu Bin said coldly, "County Magistrate Xiaochu, is there anything wrong?"

"Ding Bang", the ringtone rang, it was Niu Bin's mobile phone, and it could only be his mobile phone. In this case, the deputies will be tuned to vibrate or mute, and only he will be special.

took the mobile phone and looked at it, Niu Bin held the mobile phone and signaled to everyone: "The phone number of Deputy Director Zhou of the Municipal Bureau must also be for this matter." As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Xiaoya with contempt, and the meaning was very clear: How is it? The city bureau has asked, what else can you do? Then he pressed the answer button.

……

An off-road vehicle slowly stopped on the side of the road, and only one person sat in the driver's seat in the entire cabin. The man wears a large brimmed hat, large sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and is dressed in gray pants. This person is none other than Chu Tianqi, who many people call "off-duty for many days".

Stopping the car, Chu Tianqi dialed a number.

Not long after, the phone was connected, and Chu Xiaoya's voice came from the mobile phone: "Director, what are your instructions?

"I don't have the magical powers you said, and I'm rushing to the county seat now. Chu Tianqi smiled, "Thank you for your outspokenness, otherwise I would have been suspended." ”

"Giggles...... Chu Xiaoya's laughter came, "Good boy, your spies are really everywhere." We've just broken up here, and you've got the news? Tell me honestly, who is your undercover agent?"

"Hehe, who else can there be? After speaking, Chu Tianqi laughed.

"you, don't make fun of me. After the anger, Chu Xiaoya continued, "I actually just told the truth, and it didn't work. The main thing is that Director Zhou of the Municipal Bureau called in time and clearly expressed his disagreement. Otherwise, the suggestion of your suspension will be reported to the city immediately. ”

"Don't be modest, if it weren't for your outspokenness, I'm afraid that I wouldn't have been able to wait for Director Zhou's call, and the meeting would have been disbanded and formed into a document. Thank you!" Chu Tianqi said very sincerely, "After I go back, I will invite you to dinner." ”

"Forget it, I didn't wait for the official meal, I'm afraid that the candid photos have come out. As soon as she said this, Chu Xiaoya's voice lowered, "I'm here, goodbye." At this point, the voice stopped abruptly.

As soon as he finished the call with Chu Xiaoya, the mobile phone rang twice. Chu Tianqi looked at the screen of his mobile phone, and a few words popped up on it: Teacher, where are you? We will be in the bureau soon.

Chu Tianqi immediately replied to the message: He was on his way back, and it was estimated that it would take an hour to get to the unit. Don't let that kid run away, and no other accidents can happen.

Not long after the message was sent, another message came back: understood, I arranged it personally.

Putting away the phone, Chu Tianqi started the car again. Thinking of the meeting of the members of the government team that he heard about, he couldn't help but say: "Some people can't wait. ”
