Chapter 223: Honesty and Self-discipline Congratulatory gifts

(The idea of the newlyweds' relatives wanting to do a big deal about the marriage was temporarily blocked; but the blessings of peers inside and outside the county.)

He gave gifts, but he was caught off guard. How should the parties and principals deal with it?)

That same morning, at eight or nine o'clock, Lou Qinglian, who was in charge of arranging the wedding of Yu Liang and Gong Li, was in the general office and assigned wedding co-organizers to go to the street to purchase tea and candy for the tea party that night, when he suddenly heard the car horn honking in the courtyard. She was stunned for a moment, but before she could guess what was happening, she suddenly saw two men and a woman, a group of three, who had already arrived at the door of the office, and one of whom she naturally knew------

"Isn't this Director Yuan of the Nanxi County Office?" said Lian Lian immediately stepped forward and shook hands with the three of them. He is now the acting head of our county government, and he has gone to work in the West Courtyard. Xiao Wang, you take Director Yuan and others with the car, and go to the government to meet the county magistrate of Andai. ”

"Hey, Secretary Lou, don't be busy sending us away, we are making a special trip to your county to ask for a glass of wine. Director Yuan immediately said with a big grin. "I only heard from the Municipal Party Committee Office last night that today is the 'double happiness' of Jinshui, and we are here to congratulate you. This is Xiao Bin, director of the Nanxi Letters and Visits Office, who is not only Director Gong Li's current business colleague, but also An Ye, two former colleagues of the Nanxi Letters and Visits Office. She held two families in one hand, and she should have come to congratulate her in person. ”

"What kind of 'double happiness' is coming? What kind of congratulations?" said Honest and honest: despite the secrecy, what should have come has come, but in order to shirk it, she still said in a confused way. "Look you're confusing me. What the hell is going on?"

"The former director of my county, the acting county magistrate of your county, Comrade An Mingxian and Minister Ye Lan, as well as Director Yu Liang and Gong Lier, aren't they the wedding ceremony today, the day of the marriage?" said the grinning Director Yuan unequivocally. "In a county, three members of the Standing Committee of the county and a director of the Letters and Visits Office held a solemn wedding on the same day, can this not be regarded as a 'double happiness' for Jinshui? As two old friends of An Ye who were originally in Nanxi and a colleague of the second director of Gong Gong today, shouldn't we come to congratulate them? Now let us meet the two newcomers of this academy first, and then naturally we will go to meet the two old acquaintances of that academy again. We came in a hurry today, and we didn't have time to bring any other gifts, so we only sealed two red envelopes, each containing 2,000 yuan in cash, and asked Lou Shu to hand it over to the wedding treasurer. ”

As he spoke, he took out two thick envelopes from the briefcase he was carrying, and immediately handed them to Lou Qinglian.

"Director Yuan, Director Xiao, I'm really sorry! To be honest with you, today is indeed the wedding day of Minister Ye, the head of Andai County, and Director Yu Gong, the two lovers of our county. Lou Qinglian said truthfully. In order to implement the 'Eight Regulations' on the Party Style and Clean Government of Party Members and Cadres, the Standing Committee of the Central Committee specially convened a meeting to make a decision: On the wedding day of the two couples, a symbolic small-scale celebration will be held only for colleagues in the county party committee and government organs. No banquets, no invitations, no courtesy. Now that you have come, on behalf of the Jinshui County Party Committee and the two couples, I would also like to extend a warm welcome. But this gift money must not be accepted. Therefore, the two directors are hereby returned, please forgive me. As he spoke, he returned the gift money envelope back to the other party's hand.

"As the old saying goes, 'Officials don't give gifts'; Although we admire your county for building a clean and honest government, and we do not invite guests to be courteous and high-spirited, we have already brought this gift money, and there is absolutely no reason to take it back. Director Yuan said with obvious displeasure. "If the leaders of your county and the newcomers concerned really don't accept it, please ask Secretary Lou to help us transfer the 'Hope Project' of your county on our behalf. After that, he was about to pack the gift money envelope and put it on the table behind the other party, and politely said: "Secretary Lou is busy first." Now that we have come, we should naturally go to the government to visit and comfort Minister Ye, the magistrate of Andai County. The two shook hands with Lian Honest as they spoke.

In fact, at the same time that the guests of Nanxi County came to give gifts and congratulations, in the courtyard of the county government office in the west, similar storylines were also happening continuously------

In the West Courtyard, An Mingxian and Ye Lan presided over the two newlyweds, and the wedding preparations were made by Hao Shuyun, the first deputy secretary of the county party committee. At this moment, she is also in the general office, discussing with Deputy Director Zhu of the Government Office, who is in charge of government affairs, about the details of the evening tea party. Suddenly I heard a commotion in the courtyard. The two of them were stunned at the same time, and they invariably asked a question in their hearts: What happened again? The camera pulled back to the office courtyard, the duty room on the first floor of the office. A group of deputies from county bureaus and committees had just been persuaded away by Section Chief Liao on duty, and a new round of deputies from townships and towns were making endless noises around Section Chief Liao.

"Section Chief Liao, let's give you an opinion for the head of the management department: you are too irresponsible, right?" said a cadre with a beer belly and the appearance of a township mayor. "Ordinary people marry their daughters and daughters to do happy events, and they also put up lanterns and stickers of red and green, and there is a festive and auspicious atmosphere. But you see, the magistrate of An'an County came to Jinshui from a hundred miles away to lead the cadres and masses of our county to reform and open up and become well-off; in ordinary times, they are tired and tired, and their lives are almost poor, and their consciousness is high, so they will not care too much; but now they are marrying their wives and doing happy events, so why are they still so sloppy and sloppy? Not to mention anything else, why is there not even a single table for gifts, and there is no special person responsible for receiving gift money. Then what should we hand over this gift money to? Can't we just pay it to County Magistrate An or Minister Ye, right? Will they be embarrassed to accept it?"

"Of course not. Nor are they all embarrassed or inconvenient to receive. Rather, the county party committee has a stipulation: In order to implement the central government's 'eight-point regulations on honesty and self-discipline of party members and cadres'; this time, whether it is the leader of An Ye'er or the two directors Yu Gong who is holding a wedding at the same time today, they must insist on keeping a low profile in everything, and they must not invite guests, do not hold banquets, and are not polite. Section Chief Liao explained seriously. "Now that I have said this, the leaders and deputies of the townships and towns will probably no longer criticize me as the head of the administrative section for being irresponsible, right? I hope that everyone will actively cooperate and go back to their hometowns to do their own work. ”

"Hey, Section Chief Liao, I think you are 'not carrying the burden and not knowing the weight', and you want to send us away with a few words and a 'decision'?" Another young cadre squeezed forward but said unceremoniously. "Not to mention the county magistrates, ministers, and directors, who have made efforts to do things for the people of the county, and often forget their selfishness, but today it is their turn to do happy things, if we don't let us congratulate and give us 'meaning,' how can we be in a good mood? Just say that we are all here today, and we are also entrusted by the leaders to represent you; it is a glorious and arduous task, and you send us back halfway, how can we pay the errand if we do not complete the task? Besides, if you do not accept the gift money of nearly 10,000 yuan, and you cannot return it, how can you let us pay it?"

"Yes, Section Chief Liao, if you don't dare to take matters into your own hands and arrange congratulations and gifts, simply hand over the contradiction and let us go directly to find Deputy Director Zhu, who is in charge of logistics. Another young man also squeezed forward and said. "Or let's go straight to the deputy secretary of Hao Shuyun, who presided over the marriage of the two An Ye in the government court. Let her explain it to us. ”

While talking, he gave his companions a look, and everyone put up their hands and wanted to push Section Chief Liao away, go to the general office, and go directly to Deputy Director Zhu and Deputy Secretary Hao. Section Chief Liao was about to try his best to block left and right, trying to stop everyone from acting------

"Section Chief Liao, don't stop it. Deputy Secretary Hao Shuyun immediately appeared in front of everyone and waved his hand and said. "Let me explain it to you directly. Thank you to the leaders or representatives of the townships and towns concerned for their congratulations and concern to the two couples of the county party committee and government and the newlyweds. At present, the whole country is implementing the Central Committee's 'Eight Regulations on Party Members and Cadres' to further promote the party's work style and clean government. We are not far behind.

"Therefore, the Standing Committee of the county has further emphasized the need for honesty and self-discipline in the work style, words and deeds of the county's party members and cadres, especially the leading cadres at all levels; in the weddings and funerals of the party members and cadres concerned or their children, they have insisted on changing customs and customs, and 'no banquets, no invitations, no courtesy'. Today coincided with the marriage of the four leaders of the two courts, and they expressed their intention to give a good start to the cadres and masses of the county: resolutely implement the instructions of the higher authorities and the regulations of the county Standing Committee: no invitations, no banquets, no courtesy.

"So, did you ignore the happy event of the newlyweds, and brushed off the care and congratulations of relatives and friends? No. Our office team has also made positive suggestions. That is, we will still accept the congratulations and encouragement of relatives and friends, and tonight we will hold a wedding tea party for two couples in the east and west courtyards. Originally, only comrades from their own organs were allowed to participate, but if there are comrades directly under the county or township or township level who request it, it can also be appropriately expanded.

"As for the issue of giving gifts to fraternal counties and cities and various units in our county, after consultation with the newcomers concerned and reporting to the Standing Committee for approval, in principle, they will be returned separately; if individual people feel that the return is not easy to handle, we have arranged for the cashier of the county finance bureau to uniformly receive the bookkeeping and bookkeeping, and include it in the project of supporting the 'Hope Project'; it can also be regarded as two pairs of newcomers. If you have any other new proposals, you will follow this decision. ”

Because of the clear policies and regulations and effective handling measures, it not only resolved the contradiction problem caused by the refusal to accept gifts due to marriage, but also brought a good reputation to the newlyweds; more importantly, it maintained the party's discipline in building a clean and honest government. In view of An Mingxian, Ye Lan, a former colleague in Nanxi County, and his colleagues in Yu Liang and Gong Li's brothers and counties, came to congratulate him on the same day, and at noon on the same day, the two main leaders of the county party committee, Zhong Jingliang and Hao Shuyun, made the east at their own expense and specially received the special guests------

During the day that day, the two couples, accompanied by Shu Yun Xincheng and Hou Ye Suyun, went to the "Marriage Registration Hall" of the Civil Affairs Bureau one after another to go through the newlywed registration procedures.

The time quickly transitioned to the evening, and the large conference rooms of the east and west courtyards of the county party committee and government, each of which could accommodate hundreds of people, were not yet the time of the "wedding tea party" scheduled for eight o'clock, and the huge conference room was already full of people. That night, because Zhong Jingliang personally presided over the meeting, Hao Shuyun, Jiang Xincheng, Chen Suyun, and other members of the Standing Committee, as well as several deputy county magistrates of the county government, were all present, and the wedding was held for the three standing committee members and one director, so although it had already been decided to be "low-key": "No banquets, no guests, no courtesy," the wedding ceremony and the subsequent tea party were also very successful------
