After Li Feng left, Cao Ying became more and more restless. For Cao Ying, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She never thought that she would have the opportunity to compete for a post as a borrowed person, and the day before she went to have a meal with Zhong Tao and the leaders of the organization department, this opportunity fell from the sky like a pie. At the wine table, Zhong Tao stared at her from time to time, she was embarrassed, but she still toasted the leader. Zhong Tao nodded with satisfaction and said to Zhu Yongliang, head of the Organization Department, that the town was going to hold a competition for posts recently to arouse the enthusiasm of the mobilized cadres. Zhu Yongliang, director of the organization department, said that Secretary Zhong had just taken office, and it was the right time to engage in a competition for posts, and townships and towns should engage in more competition for posts, which would be beneficial to arousing the enthusiasm of cadres and entrepreneurial officers. Zhong Tao took advantage of Zhu Yongliang's affirmation, and said, this time the middle-level competition for posts, want to make some innovations, to break the identity restrictions, like our Xiaocao borrowed from the teaching team, it has been several years, very good, we must allow comrades like her to compete for posts, and give cadres of other organs a sense of crisis, who can do it, who wants to do it, there will be a stage and opportunities. Xiao Cao, hurry up and toast Minister Zhu. Cao Yingwan didn't expect Zhong Tao to speak for himself like this, although he felt that this matter was a bit mysterious, he still stepped forward to toast Zhu Yongliang with gratitude. Zhu Yongliang had also drunk a lot at that time, and saw that Cao Ying was sexy and charming, and his alcohol was up, and after drinking Cao Ying's wine, his mouth was loose, Secretary Zhong wanted to innovate in the reform of the cadre and personnel system, and our Organization Department definitely supported it. Breaking the restrictions of identity, engaging in competition for posts, and mobilizing the enthusiasm of borrowed personnel and non-staff personnel, this is very good. Minister Zhaotong and Section Chief Jiang Yan, you should pay more attention to the competition for posts in Shimian Town, give more guidance and support, and in the future, we will sum up our experience, and we can also report information to the provinces and cities and publicize it. Vice Minister Wang Zhaotong and Cadre Section Chief Jiang Yan both said yes. And so it was settled. Cao Ying originally thought that there were only two ways for her future, one was to go back to the primary school to find a vice principal, and the other was to take the civil service exam. Now Cao Ying sees a third way, and it may be a more convenient way, that is, to be the director of the secretary's office, and when she becomes the director of the secretary's office, she will have a greater chance of becoming a higher position in the future. That night, Cao Ying was full of excitement, participated in the dinner after the singing K, night wine and other activities, after the end, Zhong Tao made a special trip to send her home, she and Zhong Tao sat in the back row, Zhong Tao's hand in her thighs, buttocks stroked, she gladly agreed, she felt Zhong Tao's hand, more powerful than her husband's hand who was a teacher, maybe this is the power of power. She was confused and enjoyed the confusion.

Ben came to his basket with the dishes, and now he is threatened by a madman.

This madman is Li Feng.

A normal person's brain does things logically, but a person whose brain is short-circuited is not necessarily. This unpredictability can also bring great uneasiness to people.

The more Cao Ying thought about it, the more wrong it became, fidgeting, and walking around.

Liang Jian really wanted to laugh when he saw Cao Ying's appearance. secretly said in his heart, this Li Feng is really good at rectifying people. Knowing that Cao Ying cares about the director of the secretarial office very much, he is here to make people feel a little uncomfortable. Liang Jian couldn't comfort Cao Ying, so he had to pretend not to see it.

Cao Ying finally couldn't sit still, walked outside the office, and unconsciously walked to the outside of Li Feng's office, looking in, Li Feng was really not there. She pretended to go to someone's office to run errands and wandered around the building, but she actually wanted to find Li Feng.

When I got to the third floor, I saw Li Feng coming out of an office, and then walked into another office. Cao Ying quietly looked in through the glass window, and the people inside were stuffing things into their bags. Cao Ying's heart tightened. She came to the office next to her, Li Feng was talking to a cadre inside, and then stuffed an envelope bag to the person, patted the other party's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Please take care of it and vote." The other party said "definitely, definitely".

Cao Ying ran to the corridor before Li Feng came out, and returned to the office, feeling even more confused. Li Feng's thing is real, and it is obvious that he can't get along with her. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and ran to the office of Zhong Tao, secretary of the town party committee, and said: "Secretary Zhong, there is a matter, I want to report it to you, I saw that someone was blatantly sending money to canvass for votes." ”

After Zhong Tao heard this, he called Fu Dong, a member of the organizing committee: "You can investigate this matter." Canvassing for votes and bribery is absolutely not allowed to happen in our town, so immediately find someone to find out together. ”

After listening to Zhong Tao's order, Cao Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhong Tao said: "Do you have time to go to dinner with me in the evening? ”

This day happens to be Cao Ying's husband's birthday: "But today is my husband's birthday!"

"My husband's birthday can be celebrated every year, but important guests are not available every day. Can't you just take a leave of absence?"

Cao Ying thought about it, struggled for a while, and finally said, "Okay then." ”

"You won't be disappointed. Zhong Tao smiled with satisfaction.

Cao Ying thought that what he said should mean that the director of her secretarial office must be fine.

After receiving a call from Zhong Tao, secretary of the party committee, Fu Dong, a member of the organization committee, immediately brought Mo Feifei, a college student village official, to the family planning office. Before, Cao Ying saw Li Feng enter the Family Planning Office, and gave an envelope to Yang Xiaoqing, deputy director of the Family Planning Office, and said, "Please take care of it and vote."

When Fu Dong arrived at the Family Planning Office, he directly found Yang Xiaoqing, invited her aside and asked her, has anyone come to canvass for votes? Yang Xiaoqing said: Yes. Fu Dong asked again: Who is it? Yang Xiaoqing said: Li Feng. Fu Dong nodded, the question had been confirmed, and he said: Xiao Yang, you are very good, and now we need you to testify that Li Feng canvassed for votes and bribed votes in the competition for posts. Yang Xiaoqing was dumbfounded when he heard Fu Dong say this, and then hurriedly denied it: No, no, you are mistaken! Fu Dong said: The facts are already clear, how can you be mistaken? Xiao Yang, you don't have to be afraid, we will only deal with Li Feng in this matter. Yang Xiaoqingdao: I'm not afraid, I'm saying that we have asymmetric information. I never said that Li Feng pulled tickets for the competition for the post. Fu Dong didn't believe what Yang Xiaoqing said, and pointed out bluntly, Li Feng came to your office and gave you an envelope with money, isn't this canvassing?

Yang Xiaoqing laughed dumbly when she heard Fu Dong say this, took out an envelope from the drawer, and threw it to Fu Dong. Fu Dong took the envelope and said in his heart, isn't this an ironclad evidence! Open the envelope and look at it, where is the money inside, but it is a propaganda leaflet, the leaflet is written in the city's youth poetry writing competition, and the following is an online address, the purpose of the address is to accept social voting, according to the level of votes, to determine the top ten, and then by the expert judges to review and vote, to determine the first, second and third prizes.

Fu Dong had no choice but to smile bitterly, "Is he canvassing for this matter?"

Yang Xiaoqing said, of course, he is a literary young man, do you think he cares about a middle-level post in a town? I would rather believe that he cares more about the first prize of the city's youth poetry creation.

Fu Dong usually knows a little about this maverick Li Feng, and thinks that what Yang Xiaoqing said may be true. He went to the civil affairs office on the side again. According to Cao Ying, Li Feng also went to the civil affairs office to canvass for votes. went to the Civil Affairs Office and asked the staff Xiao Zhao, and the results were exactly the same as Yang Xiaoqing.

Fu Dong couldn't, so he had to truthfully report the situation to Zhong Tao, secretary of the town party committee.

Zhong Tao called Cao Ying again and said to her, you think too much. Cao Ying listened to the results of the investigation, her face was very shameless, and she emphasized that there might be a problem inside. Zhong Tao comforted: Don't worry, you don't know who has the final say in this town? Competition is just a face, I, Zhong Tao, am the lizi, the key is to accompany him and the guests later.

Cao Ying had no choice but to give up.

After Fu Dong's investigation was over, the town began to spread that Cao Ying went to Zhong Tao, the secretary of the town party committee, to say goodbye, and it was a baseless complaint. Someone said: This woman wants to be an official and wants to go crazy. Cao Ying's image as a betrayer circulated among the cadres of the organs, and some people couldn't get used to it, so they said: Originally, I really wanted to vote for her tomorrow, but now I will definitely vote for Li Feng.

In the evening, Cao Ying accompanied Zhong Tao, secretary of the town party committee, to receive important guests. The so-called important guests are actually Zhong Tao's ordinary friends, the highest level of which is the Propaganda Minister of the District Party Committee, the others also have section-level cadres, and there is a Zhao Gong who dresses like a mixed society. Cao Ying felt that she had seen this person many times in the town government before, but she was not familiar with his specific situation. This dinner is obviously not for any official business, but like a private party for drinking and having fun. There was a woman sitting next to each guest, and the woman helped pour and persuade the wine, and the whole meal was lively. Like last time, after the meal, it was after the singing K, then the night wine, and finally Zhong Tao's car to take her home. During the whole process, Zhong Tao did not forget to eat tofu here and there on her, she endured it, thinking to herself, she was reluctant to let the child catch the wolf. I didn't expect to get home, and my husband, who is an ordinary people's teacher, hadn't slept yet. Cao Ying asked, why don't you sleep yet. My husband said angrily, you spend all day drinking with others outside, can I, as a husband, still be able to sleep? Cao Ying said, don't talk nonsense. My husband said that you can't hear it yourself, and there are already rumors outside that you are circling around Zhong Tao all day long, and you want to be on top. Cao Ying didn't expect the gossip to be so fast, and scolded, who do you listen to, fart! Cao Ying said, Do you believe in others and don't believe me? My husband said, today is your husband and my birthday, and you accompany other men to drink, and you still want you to believe you! The two of them were noisy all night, and they didn't sleep well, and they got up in the morning with dark circles under their eyes.

On the night before the competition for the post, Zhang Hua, deputy secretary of the town party committee, and Fu Dong, a member of the organization committee, arranged another dinner. This dinner was ordered by Zhong Tao, secretary of the town party committee, and the purpose was to organize activities in a way that allowed some comrades in the town who were in line with the party committee to vote for Shi Ning, Cao Ying and other target candidates. Canvassing for votes by individuals is canvassing for votes and bribing votes, and canvassing by organizations is carrying out the intentions of the organization. There were two tables for that meal, and there were about 20 people, all of whom were usually more obedient or able to be obedient in doing work, and if all these people voted for the target candidate, plus the candidates themselves voted for themselves, the number of votes basically exceeded half. Once it exceeds the half, the rest of the matter will be decided by the party committee. The meal is also a joy, most of the drunk and drunk. Fu Dong, who had already drunk ** points, called each target candidate and said how much wine he had drunk for them. The target candidates were busy thanking them on the phone, thinking about how much money to send to Fu Dong to show their gratitude after the matter was completed.

The competitive speech was placed on the fourth floor of the town government building, and Liang Jian and Ding Baihe walked in together, and said in their hearts, the atmosphere of this competitive speech was quite grand.

The rostrum of the conference, which was originally held, was set up as a lecture platform. A large banner behind the rostrum reads:

Middle-level cadres in Shimian Town will compete for posts.

The first row of the audience was the seat of the town leaders, and the seats of Wang Zhaotong, deputy director of the Organization Department of the District Party Committee, and Jiang Yan, head of the Cadre Section, were also placed in a very conspicuous position. Behind the leaders' seats, the seats of the cadres of the town organs are arranged according to the usual practice.

The leader walked in and sat down, and Liang Jian found that the new mayor Jin Kaige was not seated. Liang Jian looked around the conference room, but he didn't see Jin Kaige's shadow. Soon, Fu Qiang, a member of the organization committee, answered a phone call, and then leaned over and reached out to put Jin Kaige's seat cover upside down and put it in the fixed drawer of the table, so that the mayor of the town Jin Kaige was excluded first, and the other team members were all there.

Liang Jian wondered in his heart: Jin Kaige is the deputy secretary of the town party committee, the mayor of the town, and can be said to be the first deputy secretary, so why did he not come to attend the speech meeting? Today's speech meeting was attended by the secretary of the town party committee, the deputy director in charge of cadres of the organization department of the district party committee was present, and the other team members were all present, so why did Jin Kaige not come? Could it be that he was not interested in this speech for the post of competition? Or was there something else particularly important?

The competition speech was not postponed because of Jin Kaige's absence.

The lecture was presided over by Zhang Hua, deputy secretary of the town party committee. Zhang Hua came to the speech table with the presiding script, and began to preside: "Leaders, all the contestants, comrades, hello everyone! First of all, I will borrow this podium to say a few words, and then this podium will be handed over to all the contestants. With the study of the town party committee and the consent of the organization department of the district party committee, today we are holding a speech meeting for the competition of middle-level cadres in Shimian Town, and this competition for posts is a speech that the party committee of our town is determined to carry out with a view to strengthening the construction of the cadre team in the town, deepening the reform of cadres and personnel, and stimulating the vitality of all cadres and the enthusiasm of entrepreneurial officers. This time, we launched a total of 11 middle-level positions, and a total of 36 people signed up for the competition, with a ratio of more than 3:1, which fully reflects the characteristics of competition...... Next, I would like to emphasize one more point, this middle-level competition for posts, the next stage is mainly divided into three steps: first, today's on-site competitive speech, each competitor on the stage to give an off-script speech, all the participants in the audience score; second, convene a party committee meeting, according to the speech score of each competitor, by the party committee meeting in accordance with the principle of matching people to posts, and finally decide on the appointment of candidates; third, public appointment...... Next, let's start with the competition speech. First of all, the three candidates for the first post of secretary of the town party committee, Shi Ning, Liang Jian, and Zhang Chao, were invited...... Speak on stage......"

When Shi Ning came to power, his whole body couldn't help but tremble. When he stepped onto the stage, he heard some of the town cadres below discussing Zhang Hua's speech. Some people are saying, "I heard me right, right? Isn't it a matter of grading on the spot today, but deciding who will be on the spot?" "Then it's still a hairy one, swear to engage in such a form, and in the end it is the party committee members who have the final say, isn't this just a form!" "Then what do you want, this is for everyone to see, to be seen by the superiors, you really think that it is open, fair and just!" "I know who the leader wants us to vote for, so I just don't vote for them." "There are always a few old comrades in a town who say things that many young people dare not say.

These words were not loud, but they were particularly harsh. Zhong Tao, secretary of the town party committee, frowned, and Wang Zhaotong, deputy director of the organization department of the district party committee, turned a deaf ear. These old comrades also complained, and when they didn't hear it, they passed. Fu Dong, a member of the town party committee, couldn't be so free, stood up, squeezed out a stern expression, and looked back, those old comrades also bought a little face for him, saying that he was still talking, and his voice was much quieter. Everyone's attention gradually projected onto Shi Ning, who had not yet opened his mouth on the stage.

Shi Ning is usually very good at speaking offstage, but he has stage syndrome, and he has stage fright as soon as he arrives on stage, which is also related to the fact that he cares too much about this competition.

Before he came to the stage, he heard someone say, "I know who the leader wants us to vote for, so I just won't vote for them," and so on, he felt even more burdened in his heart, and his speech was pimple, "Everyone...... Collar...... Guide, today I competed...... Vie...... Competing positions...... The post is ......"
