Li Feng said again: "What is this called public bidding?" Liang Jian said: "It's just a formality." Zhang Hua did this, and there must be someone behind him. Li Feng shouted: "Who else can there be, isn't it Zhong Tao?" Liang Jian said: "You be quiet." Li Feng said: "I'm not afraid of them." Liang Jian said: "It's none of your business anyway, just let you count the votes." Li Feng stared at Liang Jian with an unbelievable expression: "Liang Jian, when did you become so untempered? In the past, you were also jealous and hateful, but now that you are a leader, it is really different." ”

Liang Jian smiled and said nothing, making Li Feng wave his hand and leave.

Liang Jian went to Jin Kaige and told him about the situation. Jin Kaige said: "What is the origin of this Zhao Gong?" Liang Jian said: "It is understood that it is a friend of Secretary Zhong." Jin Kaige nodded and said, "This operation of bidding will be very detrimental to the development of the town." Liang Jian said: "I think so too." Jin Kaige said: "Those ballots have been left behind, if someone reports to the above that the town is manipulating the bidding, will they be able to find evidence?" Liang Jian said: "Since Zhong Tao and Zhang Hua dare to do this, they must have also thought of a way to deal with it, and they will not leave unfavorable evidence." Jin Kaige nodded and said, "Yes, Zhong Tao is not a careless reckless man. ”

At this time, in Zhang Hua's office, several members who participated in the bidding and voting were called to revise the ballots. After changing the ballots, each person was given an envelope, and Zhang Hua said: "This is Secretary Zhong's hard work for everyone." "Those people took it. Someone proposed: "Liang Jian's vote has not changed, why don't you call him too?" Zhang Hua hurriedly stopped: "Liang Jian is not as reliable as you, he still counts, the votes are enough." ”

Liang Jian said to Jin Kaige: "Mayor Jin, do you remember that last time you asked me to draft a reception reimbursement system to solve the problem of overspending on public funds in the town?" Jin Kaige said: "Of course I remember, but later I thought that the time was not ripe, so I didn't do it." Liang Jian said: "Do you think the time is ripe now?" Jin Kaige remembered what the old leader Ke Xu said to him, he only went to Shimian Town to gild, and it was best not to have a stiff relationship with Zhong Tao. So he said, "I think the time may not be ripe yet. ”

Liang Jian said: "Mayor Jin, there is something I have always wanted to say, but I don't know if you want to hear it." Jin Kaige asked with interest: "You say." Liang Jian said: "Some people, it's not that you take a step back, they think that you are humble, they will think that you are weak." If you take a step back, he will go one foot forward, and if you take a foot back, he may not even give you the land of the cone. Jin Kaige looked at Liang Jian and said, "I understand what you mean." Liang Jian didn't say more, and said: "Okay, anyway, I'm drafting an electronic draft, and when Mayor Jin feels that the time is ripe, just sue me, I have made some revisions recently, and it should be more and more perfect." ”

In the evening, Zhao Gong of the Zhao Demolition Company invited him to dinner at a restaurant. Zhong Tao walked in, and Zhao Gong asked all the beauties around him to get up to welcome Zhong Tao. Zhong Tao motioned for everyone to sit down. Zhao Gong bowed down an envelope to Zhong Tao. Zhong Tao glanced at it and said: "We are brothers, why are you so polite?" Zhao Gong said: "Where am I polite? Without you, can I have food?" Zhong Tao glanced at Zhao Gong, and said to the four beauties around: "When I was in elementary school before, my family was poor and often hungry, and other little classmates looked down on me, so Zhao Gong Zhao always saved half a piece of bread from his mouth to satisfy my hunger." I Zhong Tao will never forget this kind of thing for the rest of my life. So now, as long as I, Zhong Tao, have something to eat, I won't miss you Zhao Gong. Zhao Gong clapped his hands and said: "Today, we beauties have to help me respect Brother Zhong, this is my Zhao Gong's real buddy." ”

After three rounds of drinking, Zhong Tao went next door to salute Zhang Hua and them. Zhang Hua and they wanted to pay tribute in return, and Zhong Tao asked them not to come, considering that there were beautiful women. Zhong Tao returned to the box, and the bald Zhao Gong asked: "I heard that the mayor of the town, Jin Kaige, is not easy to handle, I will contract the demolition project, will he raise objections?" Zhong Tao said: "Now the bidding process has been completed, and it has been decided." Jin Kaige, you don't have to be afraid of him, I know his weakness. Zhao Gong asked: "What is his weakness?" Zhong Tao said: "It's nothing else, it's just two words, 'afraid of things'!" Zhao Gong said: "That's no eggs!" Zhong Tao and Jin Kaige both laughed. Zhao Gong shouted again: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry today, Brother Zhong and I are both eggs!" The beauties around him said: "Hooligan." "The wine went on the same way.

That night, Jin Kaige did not go back immediately after work, but sat in the office. He smoked a cigarette and looked at the ceiling, Liang Jian's words were still ringing in his ears: "Some people, if you take a step back, they think that you are humble, and he will think that you are weak." If you take a step back, he will go one foot forward, and if you take a foot back, he may not even give you the land of the cone. Jin Kaige thought, more than a year in Shimian Town, he has lived the most sloppy life for more than a year, he is simply a man with his tail between his legs, should I continue like this?

The Spring Festival is not far away, the sky is always gloomy, and everyone's mood is not much better. The demolition work in the town was contracted by Zhao Gong, but the demolition progress could not be improved. The demolition team excused itself that the "nail households" who did not sign a contract at that time greatly hindered the progress of the demolition. Zhao Gong took the opportunity to come to the town many times and said that the bid price at that time was 4.5 million, which was too low according to the actual situation. Ask the town for additional input.

The deputy mayor in charge of urban construction put forward at the joint meeting of the party and government leadership groups: "4.5 million is indeed a bit low, see if you can increase some investment according to the actual situation?" Zhong Tao, secretary of the town party committee, also strongly supported this approach: "We still have to make progress, it doesn't matter if we spend more money, at that time 4.5 million yuan was tendered, it is indeed not very high, and now it seems that only a part of the investment can be increased, to give the demolition company a little sweetness, to stimulate their enthusiasm." ”

Mayor Jin Kaige knew that there was a problem with the bidding, and he also knew the delicate relationship between Zhong Tao and Zhao Gong, his speech was very important, and he would decide whether to increase investment, after all, the mayor was in charge of money, he said that he would not do it, and no one would necessarily say that he would do it. However, he was still hesitant, and if he said no, it would be tantamount to vetoing the opinion of Zhong Tao, secretary of the town party committee.

At this time, Liang Jian jumped out. Liang Jian said: "At that time, I also participated in the bid evaluation. The first feeling was that Zhao's company was not the most suitable company, but the result of the vote was like this, which was very unexpected. I don't think we should invest more in the bidding at what price we were bidding for in the first place. On the one hand, this does not meet the bidding rules, since you can't swallow it, don't open your mouth at that time. Since he opened his mouth at that time, he had to swallow it if he couldn't swallow it, because the responsibility lies with Zhao's company, and our town shouldn't pick it for him. On the other hand, if the investment is increased casually, the bottom line will be lost in the future bidding, which will be very unfavorable to the future work and will leave sequelae. I'll just say this, and how to decide on it is still up to the party committee to decide. ”

When Liang Jian said this, it was equivalent to not giving Zhong Tao and them face, and the faces of Zhong Tao, Zhang Hua and the deputy mayor of urban construction were all green.

Mayor Jin Kaige secretly felt happy in his heart. He thought, why can't he speak so happily like Liang Jian? Liang Jian didn't scruple too much, so he was able to speak, but he hesitated because he listened to the advice of the old leader Ke Xu.

In the cold here of Liang Jian, Zhong Tao launched an attack on Jin Kaige. He knew Jin Kaige's weakness, Jin Kaige thought of the smooth gilding of Shimian Town, and then returned to the district CPPCC to seek a vice chairman position, which Xiao Jiujiu Zhong Tao would pinch firmly. Zhong Tao said: "Mayor Jin, what do you think? You have the final say on the finances of our town, and the progress of the demolition work is the responsibility of the entire team. Jin Kaige heard the harsh thing in Zhong Tao's words, this sentence is equivalent to saying that if the town cannot be demolished, it is because he, the mayor, refuses to give money.

Liang Jian looked at Jin Kaige. Ever since Jin Kaige came to Shimian Town, he has been in a passive state of beating. Zhong Tao used the power of the number one party committee in his hands to make Jin Kaige, the number one leader of the government, have no room to exert his power. Liang Jian thought in his heart that if Jin Kaige continued like this, he would become a "mayor of the town". That time, Jin Kaige wanted him to be his office director, and he felt that Jin Kaige actually wanted to win him over and strengthen his strength, which showed that Jin Kaige was not a completely ambitious person, but then he lost his voice for some reason. Liang Jian thought that Jin Kaige's problem was that he had too many concerns and tied his hands and feet. Liang Jian always felt that officials should not be like this.

Liang Jian hoped that Jin Kaige could rise this time, and he looked at Jin Kaige with expectant eyes. The other team members in the party-government joint conference also looked at Jin Kaige.

Jin Kaige didn't feel everyone's attention. Liang Jian's words not long ago rang in his ears, "Some people, if you take a step back, they think that you are humble, and they will think that you are weak." If you take a step back, he will go one foot forward, and if you take a foot back, he may not even give you the place of the cone." The old leader Ke Xu's bitter advice sounded again, "Remember, when you go to Shimian Town, you just go to gild, and the most suitable thing for you is to return to the district CPPCC as the vice chairman, so don't mess with Zhong Tao." ”

Jin Kaige's mind is vacillating between two different points of view, and it is difficult to make a choice at once, on the one hand, it represents the dignity of the individual, and on the other hand, it represents the sacrifice of dignity to seek a future......

Liang Jian secretly cheered for Jin Kaige in his heart: "Mayor Jin, come on, you can be yourself!"

Zhong Tao's eyes also squinted at Jin Kaige: "Jin Kaige, you are just so bold, don't be entangled, just give in obediently." ”

Bi Qin, chairman of the National People's Congress, has nothing to do with himself, hangs high, and watches the show: "Let's see if Jin Kaige can get hard today, if he can't get hard, he will still be the mayor of his nest in the future, if it gets hard, between him and Zhong Tao in the future, it will be incompatible, and the good shows will be staged one after another, no matter what, it will be a good thing for himself." He couldn't help but laugh silently.

Zhang Hua, Fu Dong and the other team members all waited for Jin Kaige to speak.
