Shen Congyun returned to Huji early the next morning, and yesterday he spent a day in the merchant market, and he was a little tired physically and mentally.

Just after arriving in Huji, Shen Congyun, Yang Zongming, and Zhou Xiannian went to the Central Hospital of Xiangbei Street, Zhou Zhiguo's condition worsened, and Zhou Zhiguo, who was lying on the hospital bed, couldn't even speak.

After discussing with Zhou Xiannian and others for a while, Shen Congyun contacted the county central hospital and prepared to let Zhou Zhiguo transfer to the county central hospital.

Zhou Zhiguo's eldest son told Shen Congyun that he knew his father's illness and that he couldn't cure it even if he went to the city, and the people in the township government thought that Secretary Zhou Zhiguo was only old and frail and sickly, but in fact it was not the case at all, Zhou Zhiguo was diagnosed with liver cancer in the city half a year ago.

It turned out that the old secretary Zhou Zhiguo knew that he was seriously ill a long time ago, and it was the busiest time for Hu Ji at that time, so he chose to hide his illness.

The old secretary wanted to go in front of the house, and no one could refuse.

Because the old secretary is an old cadre in the county, the main leaders in the county also came to visit. Li Xianfeng and Wang Yantao both came one after another, and the old secretary Zhou Zhiguo fell ill, and the old secretary had the right to recommend him on the issue of selecting the secretary of the Huji Township Party committee, but he was so sick that the leaders of the county party committee had no way to solicit his opinion.

When the main leaders of the county came to visit the old secretary Zhou Zhiguo, they successively found Shen Congyun and Zhou Xiannian to have a dialogue, and the dialogue with Li Xianfeng made Shen Congyun feel as if he had lost his qualifications to run for office, in his opinion, the county party committee already had a candidate.

It's not that Shen Congyun thinks too much, Li Xianxian, the secretary of the county party committee, said that he was talking to Shen Congyun, but like Lou Xiang, most of them were reassuring words.

Shen Congyun was a little disappointed, but his enthusiasm for work did not dissipate.

On October 29, 85, Zhou Zhiguo died of illness and at home, the countryside pays attention to the earth, although the old secretary had said that he would be cremated before his death, but the eldest son still bought a good coffin and buried the old secretary in the ancestral grave.

Shen Congyun had to sigh at the fragility of life, a month ago, the old secretary could talk and laugh, and a month later, he went.

On the issue of the appointment of the secretary of the Huji Township Party Committee, the county party committee often holds meetings to study, study and study the past, more or less there are rumors, there are three candidates, one is Zhou Xiannian, deputy secretary of the Huji Township Party Committee, who has the most support rate, and the second is Shen Congyun, the township head of Huji, because some leaders think that Zhou Zhiguo is not often in charge, Shen Congyun can start the construction of the school, if Zhou Xiannian is on it, they will definitely have contradictions, and think that the township chief is the first candidate for secretary, and there is a third candidate, It was put forward by Jiang Anhua, deputy secretary of the county party committee, and is the former secretary of the Dawu Township Party Committee, an old comrade, who will definitely be able to enter the work quickly when he takes up his post in Huji.

The opinion of Secretary Li of the county party committee is particularly important, but he did not express his position for a long time, because Li Xianfeng went to the municipal government, of course, Wu Junyi, the secretary general of the municipal government, had contact with him and told Li Xianfeng that Lou wanted to bring Shen Congyun into his home for dinner.

That is, Wu Junyi's temptation, so that Li Xianfeng is not as resolute as before, he has reported to Mayor Lou, and Mayor Lou also said that he will let the county party committee make a decision, he does not express his opinion, nor does he support Shen Congyun's intention to get on the horse, is it because the relationship is too close and it is inconvenient to speak?

There is a saying that is often passed down among the people, the village chief is beaten, the township chief is drunk, the county magistrate is sent, and the mayor is born, to achieve the position of Li Xianxian, he can't think too much, Lou Xiang is his backstage, but he has supported himself on many issues, and he heard that he will have a big move, this old leader has always valued himself so much, but he has never taken the initiative to invite himself to his house for dinner, what is his relationship with Shen Congyun?

Li Xianfeng couldn't make up his mind, and the post of secretary of the Huji Township Party Committee was dragged on, and finally Wang Yantao, the county magistrate, found Li Xianfeng and wanted Li Xianfeng to express his position.

In the office, Li Xianfeng thought about it: "County Magistrate Wang, you said that Shen Congyun is on the clouds, is it okay?" ”

"No, Secretary Li, didn't we all support Zhou Xiannian a few days ago? Why, after a trip to the city, I was shaken, did the old leader say something? "Wang Yantao and Li Xianfeng have been together for a long time, and the relationship is also good, so the two of them don't talk so much.

"It's because the old leader didn't say anything that I couldn't make up my mind, Wu Junyi said to me, Mayor Lou is Shen Congyun went home with him to eat, is it because they are too close, Mayor Lou is inconvenient to say, let me understand myself." Li Xianfeng pondered.

"Secretary Li, you think too much, Mayor Lou has been with you for so many years, what is it inconvenient for him to tell you, if he really has plans to let Shen Congyun go, the phone will be called a long time ago." Wang Yantao saw the crux of the matter, it is true that he has followed Mayor Lou for so many years, and Lou will not be polite to him.

"What you say makes sense, why can't I figure it out."

"Secretary Li, you just thought too much and got yourself into it, and now the top priority is to determine the secretary of the township party committee of Huji, so that it can reassure people."

"Well, then the opinions of the two of us will be unified, Zhou Xiannian, who has worked in Huji for so many years, has experience and qualifications, and is him." Li Xianfeng said.

"Do you consider the candidate proposed by Deputy Secretary Jiang?" Wang Yantao said with a smile.

"What does Jiang Anhua think, you don't know, okay, it's decided, I'll call Hu Ji and ask Zhou Xiannian to come over." Li Xianfeng stood up as he spoke, walked to the desk and hung up the phone for Zhou Xiannian.

The old secretary of Zhou Zhiguo left, Zhou Xiannian was very sad, but he knew that now was not the time to be too sad, when he went to the county for a meeting, Li Xianfeng talked to Zhou Xiannian, and when asked about Shen Congyun, Zhou Xiannian commented that Shen Congyun was too young and reckless in doing anything.

When he received a call from Li Xianfeng and asked him to go to the county to talk, Zhou Xiannian breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that his position was determined.

When Shen Congyun was sitting in the office and sorting out the materials, Zhou Xiannian came to find Shen Congyun.

"Township Chief Shen, I just received a call from Secretary Li of the county party committee, and he asked me to go to the county." After Zhou Xiannian finished speaking, Shen Congyun was silent for a while, and then hurriedly said with a smile: "Congratulations to Secretary Zhou, it seems that the county party committee has chosen you." ”

Zhou Xiannian nodded, he knew that his relationship with Shen Congyun was clouded by the death of Secretary Zhou.
