Liang Jian was unprepared for Xiang Jin's father's visit to Jingzhou. Xiang Jin never told him in detail about her father, Liang Jian only knew that he might be a high-ranking official, but Liang Jian had no way to guess how high this high-ranking official was. Since Xiang Jin didn't want to say it, he didn't force her to ask, but just wanted to do a little bit of landlord friendship: "Then, I will invite you and your father to dinner then." Recently, I found a place where I eat farmhouse food, and it tastes good. ”

Xiang Jin looked at him and smiled, smiling sweetly.

Liang Jian was a little embarrassed by her laughter, so he said, "What's so funny?"

Xiang Jin said: "Happy." My dad has someone who is willing to treat him, but I don't have the face. ”

Liang Jian said: "I won't disappoint the old man, although they are all local dishes, the taste is very good, and if you have some bayberry soju, you will be absolutely gone." ”

Xiang Jin said: "The more you say, the more greedy I become." ”

Liang Jian said: "Why don't I take you to taste it, and it can be regarded as stepping on it before your father goes?"

Xiang Jin said: "Okay." ”

Liang Jian said: "Why don't you call your father's bodyguard today, I see that he is standing downstairs all day, and it is very hard, so improve his diet?"

Xiang Jin: "Forget it, when he sees you calling him, he will definitely run away." ”

Sure enough, as Liang Jian expected, as soon as the bodyguard Gan Bao heard Liang Jian calling him to eat together, he slipped into the car and left. When they drove, Gan Bao followed behind.

Liang Jian and Xiang Jin came to the local restaurant, an inconspicuous shop, where the sauced duck, fish fillets and stinky tofu tasted amazing. Xiang Jin tasted a few bites and said three "likes" in a row. ”

Liang Jian looked at it and smiled, quite complacent: "Your dad will like it too, right?"

Xiang Jin said: "He definitely likes it, he just likes this." ”

Liang Jian was happy: "That's fine." ”

After the demolition work in the village, Liang Jian was not assigned to be the director of the office, he was assigned to the agricultural office, not that he was a person from the agricultural office, an old comrade of the agricultural office happened to retire last month, and a table was vacated, so he was arranged to sit there first. Liang Jian doesn't care, anyway, just have a table, no better, he can run around the village and go from house to house, saving himself from being bored in the lifeless town government.

On this day, Liang Jian was about to leave the agricultural office and go to Zhennan Village. Lou Xinjiang, a security committee member of Zhennan Village, invited him to eat at home at noon, and team leader Fei Xin also went with him. Although Liang Jian returned to the town, he maintained a fairly frequent contact with the two villagers who had helped him. There was nothing to do, so I agreed to Lou Xinjiang.

As soon as he put down the phone, Shi Ning from the Party Committee Office called, and Lao Zhang, the director of the Agricultural Office, picked up the phone, and when he saw that Liang Jian was about to go out, he called out to him: "Liang Jian, you wait." ”

After the phone call, Lao Zhang said to Liang Jian: "Liang Jian, at 12 o'clock at noon, a meeting of cadres of the town organs will be held temporarily, and the party committee office will notify you." ”

"What the hell is going on, the meeting starts at twelve o'clock at noon!" Liang Jian said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't this preventing people from eating?"

"It is said that cadres are recommended. Lao Zhang said, "If you are a young cadre and want to participate, maybe I will recommend you to go up, and we will be the leaders in the future." ”

Liang Jian said: "Lao Zhang, it's better to save it, you don't know me, the main leader saw me, his eyes were uncomfortable, and he promoted me!"

Lao Zhang smiled and said: "You kid! It's okay to talk about these words here, we are all old comrades, we have no conflict of interest with you, don't talk like this with others, people are competitors with you, maybe you will sue the leader when you go." ”

Liang Jian said: "Whoever likes to say, who says go." ”

Lao Zhang said: "It's already eleven o'clock, hurry up and eat, the meeting will start at twelve o'clock, you have to hurry." ”

The town authorities require dinner at half past eleven, and many people usually go to the cafeteria one after another before eleven o'clock. Liang Jian thought that if he went to Chengnan Village for dinner for an hour, he would not be able to eat well, so he would not go again next time. I called Lou Xinjiang.

Lou Xinjiang said: "The things recommended by democracy are important, I will stay for this meal, and when you are recommended, I will celebrate you next time." ”

Liang Jian said: "Comrade Xinjiang, you also say so, you have enough confidence in me. ”

Lou Xinjiang: "Brother, I have always had confidence in you." ”

At twelve o'clock, everyone came to the conference room of the town office, and dozens of people crowded into the conference room, and began to spew clouds and fog again. Shi Ning stood at the door of the conference room, full of spring breeze, and took the initiative to greet the people who entered the conference room, there would be a lack of a bride, otherwise people would think it was his wedding.

Li Feng and Liang Jian sat together, tilted their heads and said to Liang Jian: "Shi Ning, this guy, standing there, close to everyone who comes in, Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by." Liang Jian, why don't you go and stand there and say hello to everyone. ”

A head suddenly stretched out from behind Liang Jian's seat was an old comrade from the town's judicial office. The old comrade said: "Liang Jian, don't go. We vote, not by who is almost more set today, we look at the usual life, Shi Ning, this guy usually only looks at the leader's sycophant, such a person becomes a leader, I don't know what it will be? Liang Jian, let me tell you, I voted for you anyway, Shi Ning he didn't think about it. ”

Liang Jian had no choice but to say "thank you". Li Feng said again: "Comrade Liang Jian, it seems that you may surpass Shi Ning and get the first." ”

Liang Jian said: "It's useless to be the first, didn't I also be the first in the competition last time? ”

Just after 12 o'clock, Wang Zhaotong, deputy director of the Organization Department of the District Party Committee, Zhong Tao, secretary of the town party committee, and Jin Kaige, mayor of the town, walked on the rostrum together.

After Zhong Tao made a brief start, Wang Zhaotong began to make a recommendation explanation: "Today, on behalf of the district party committee and the organization department of the district committee, I am very happy to come to our town of Shimian to carry out democratic recommendation. Today's recommended position is: a deputy mayor of Shimian Town...... In line with the principle of seeking truth from facts, objectivity and fairness, please recommend the best young cadres in our Shimian Town, and be good advisers for the district committee's decision-making on selecting and employing people. ”

Wang Zhaotong made a good explanation, and Zhong Tao, secretary of the town party committee, added: "Just now, Minister Wang has made the recommended posts and qualifications very clear, please be sure to pay attention to politics, take into account the overall situation, weigh and weigh in mind when recommending, and maintain a high degree of consistency with the town party committee, and recommend the most suitable cadres." ”

As soon as Zhong Tao's words were finished, Shi Ning stood up, picked up the hot water bottle and poured water for the rostrum. His stop made people feel that the most suitable cadre Zhong Tao said was him. A lot of people laughed in the audience.

The staff of the Organization Department of the District Party Committee began to distribute recommendation tickets, and Shi Ning went over again and took the initiative to help with the invoices. The staff of the organization department stopped him and said, "Let's send the tickets ourselves." ”

Shi Ning had no choice but to sit back in his seat boringly.

Fill out the ticket. Wang Zhaotong said again: "Everyone has filled in the tickets, please put them into the ballot box set up at the venue." In addition, there is a notice, please members of the leadership team, wait in the town, this time in addition to the meeting recommendation, there is also a talk recommendation from the members of the leadership team. The votes of the two recommendations are added together to form the final result. The tickets are put away, and we do it right away. ”

The leadership team talks and recommends, that is, each team member enters the small conference room and recommends the candidates they think are suitable to the democratic recommendation group of the Organization Department of the District Party Committee.

The team members waited outside one by one, one out and one inside, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to complete.

Wang Zhaotong got the summary table from the staff and went to the office of Party Secretary Zhong Tao. Zhong Tao was very concerned about the voting results, and his eyes kept looking at the summary table in Wang Zhaotong's hand.

Wang Zhaotong simply gave the summary table to Zhong Tao and said: "The result of this summary: Liang Jian's meeting recommendation votes were five votes higher than Shi Ning's, and Shi Ning's leadership team talk recommendation was three votes higher than Liang Jian's, adding up, Liang Jian was still two votes higher." ”

Zhong Tao said: "Minister Wang, if you want me to say, the key to using cadres depends on the opinions of the leading group. The members of the leading group look at the problem from the perspective of the overall situation, see it more clearly, and the situation is relatively clear. Cadres of government agencies, sometimes whoever is nicer to whom will vote for him. ”

Wang Zhaotong took the summary table from Zhong Tao's hand: "Secretary Zhong, what you said is also a problem. However, after all, the mass foundation is also very important, and it is also an important indicator for judging cadres. After this vote, the ministry will have to study and decide which one to investigate. ”

Zhong Tao said: "Minister Wang is right, it is up to the ministry to decide. I'll call Minister Zhu. ”

After Wang Zhaotong left, Zhong Tao immediately called Zhu Yongliang, member of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee and Minister of Organization, and said good things about Shi Ning, and also said that Liang Jian was not suitable to serve as the deputy mayor. Zhu Yongliang said: With a deputy position, we will listen to the opinions of the party secretary, and I will explain them to the ministry.

Zhu Yongliang found Wang Zhaotong, who had just returned from Shimian Town, "Secretary Zhong Tao, strongly build a strong use of Shi Ning, look, what's the problem?"

Wang Zhaotong thought for a few seconds and said: "Under normal circumstances, we will inspect the cadres who are the first in democratic recommendation. If it is necessary to inspect the cadres who are recommended by democracy for the second place, then when the regulations are inspected in the future, it is necessary to give an explanation to the city inspection team. ”

Zhu Yongliang said: "It's okay to explain to the city, if there are no other big problems, we still respect Secretary Zhong's opinion." Secretary Zhong said that next week, we will invite the ministries and commissions of our Organization Department to get together. Secretary Zhong is quite supportive of the work of our organization department, so he has some reasonable requirements, and we will meet them if we can meet them. ”

Wang Zhao thought that work support should be supported, and the use of cadres should be used as cadres, and the two should not be confused, otherwise it would be unfair to young cadres like Liang Jian. However, the "Regulations on the Selection and Appointment of Cadres" does not completely stipulate that the first place in democratic recommendation must be investigated. So Wang Zhaotong only said: "Okay then." ”

The next day, the town posted a notice of the expedition. The object of the investigation is Shi Ning.

The cadre who looked at the bulletin board said: "Why is it Shi Ning again? I voted for Liang Jian." ”

Another cadre said: "Don't look at the democratic recommendation, look at which person the leader wants to use!"

One cadre said: "It is becoming more and more undemocratic now, and the democratic recommendation vote should be made public." ”

A cadre on the side said: "It's not your turn to be open, the emperor is not in a hurry, he is in a hurry." ”

Liang Jian also saw the announcement, and he expected this ending, but he was still a little unhappy, so he called Lou Xinjiang. Lou Xinjiang asked on the phone: "How is it, recommended it?"

Liang Jian said: "Fart, I recommended Shi Ning again." ”
