I didn't expect Comrade Xiao Li to make such a fuss, it stands to reason that it is taboo to eat and drink at noon, but few people in the township will take this regulation seriously. Li Ming has worked below, and it is naturally clear that the research work from above and below is at noon, and the reception banquet has become a common thing, is it possible to only eat four dishes and one soup?

If the township and town cadres do this, I am afraid that they will not be far from being laid off, so it is impossible not to drink at this meal at noon, and the key is to control the amount of alcohol and not get drunk. When I was in the town of the autumn equinox, there were a few old-timers who had no scruples when drinking, and always drank themselves like a drunk cat, and those who slept honestly were still good cadres, and some even went crazy with alcohol.

After listening to Comrade Li Ming's words, Mayor Qin was in a good mood: "Where are you talking? Why are you embarrassed to let the guests bring vegetables? Minister Xiao Li is too polite, come on, Secretary Qu and I have just had lunch, and in the morning we went to the village to supervise the new rice harvest and storage. ”

Secretary Qu's turn was stunned, Qu Wenfu squeezed out a fake smile: "I just came to take up my post a few days ago, and now I am the secretary of the Party Committee of Dongli Town, and I am working with Mayor Qin." ”

It stands to reason that going from the mayor of the town to the secretary of the party committee is a progress, but the transfer from the promising autumn equinox town to Dongli town as the secretary across counties and districts can be said to be obviously degraded!

There was actually a hot pot in the secretary's office! There was no one else in the room, only two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, no wonder Yin Shengli was chattering just now, and his feelings were to report the news for the two leaders. At lunch, the two leaders poured themselves a drink, but they encountered a surprise inspection by the superior leaders, which can be big or small.

If the supervision office comes down to raid and inspect the cadres' work style, these two will really not be able to eat and walk around, and Comrade Xiao Li understands the township cadres very well. After all, counting the period of teaching, he himself has been below for four years, and he can be regarded as a clear door to those practices of bullying and not concealing them, so it is naturally impossible to make a fuss.

I heard that people from the county came, and several town leaders who were at home appeared, and in the townships near the county like this, the leaders were all in the city. This is the so-called day cadres, and there is a set of smooth sayings among the people: "Cadres are like migratory birds, frequently running to their homes; they cannot be found during the day, and it is difficult to find them at night; they have to do things in a hurry, and when they are late, they run in vain." ”

This is a metaphor for the masses' image of "day cadres," and it also reflects the masses' antipathy to this phenomenon, but for township and town cadres, there is no choice for the "day study system." It is impossible for any of the iron-clad officials of the yamen to spend their entire lives in one place, let alone let their children be educated in township schools.

Therefore, everyone will settle their homes in the city, and there are also those who are far away and it is inconvenient to commute back and forth, and the township leaders will live alone in the town. In fact, such a situation is very prone to problems, and cadres who have power in their hands and enough to control the fate of the people below live alone in the dormitory, and all kinds of temptations will be staged.

Just like Zhu Li and Ge Peng were unclear at the beginning, it was the trouble of loneliness and coldness, and the way to solve the problem was to eliminate day cadres and vigorously promote local cadres. Wu Deqing, deputy secretary of the party committee and executive deputy mayor of the town, was full of apologies: "Secretary and mayor, is Comrade Li Ming coming here for the first time, is it a different place? The canteen in the town is a little shabby, so let's go to the county for a light meal?"

"Don't!" Li Ming waved his hand, "I saw the vegetables in the small garden behind, Director Yin said, they are all green and pollution-free vegetables, let's make shabu-shabu today!

Deputy Mayor Wu said politely, in fact, the canteen in Dongli Town is quite clean and tidy, it happened to be lunchtime, and the canteen was very lively. Seeing the town leader accompanying a young man in, everyone got up, Li Ming waved his hand: "The canteen is a place to eat, there are not so many rules, everyone can enjoy the food, just as we don't exist!"

Hahaha! Everyone laughed, but everyone's gaze on Comrade Xiao Li changed, this cadre, who is younger than Secretary Qu, is actually the leader among the crowd! I don't know if it is a fox and a fake tiger, or if it is really higher than the leaders of the ranks!

From time to time, those petty officials who came down from the county and district would go to the townships and towns to fight the autumn breeze with the help of the tiger skin of the higher-level leading organs. The main reason why Comrade Xiao Li is regarded as such a person by everyone is that he is too young! Today, when he goes out and wears casual clothes, Comrade Xiao Li looks more like a handsome son than a superior leader.

The cafeteria used a screen to enclose a small private room, and Mayor Qin walked in first, and at this time he said in a voice outside: "Mayor Qin, I'm here! Look what I have brought you!"

What a coincidence, no wonder this man in a suit who said he would see him again soon, walked in with a man in a suit who gave him a fish. Dahan was carrying a woven bag in his hand, and water droplets kept falling from the bag, and the fish inside were still struggling. Feelings are here to give gifts, Li Ming did not mean to look down on the man, and he knew from the scene of this person who gave himself a fish that this person with a bold temperament may not be the kind of cadre who slaps the horse.

Giving gifts in front of the superior leaders, this guy is really a slap in the face! Lao Qin's face changed slightly, and in a blink of an eye, he changed to a smiling face: "Let Vice Minister Li see the smile, he is Tian Quan, the village director of Sanhe Village, Dongli Town! Lao Tian will introduce you to ...... here."

"I said I'll see you again soon!" Tian Quan threw the woven bag on the ground, there were at least forty or fifty catties of fish in it, "Let's call it stepping on the rice, just to find a few leaders to drink, and see if the wine has been brought!"

Lao Tian didn't care what kind of leader Comrade Xiao Li was, and perhaps in his eyes, the cadres above and below all had the same moral character, and in addition to rubbing oil, they were fined! What Tian Quan was carrying in his other hand was a wine barrel, the kind of 10-pound plastic barrel, could it be that it was a small burn? Li Ming smiled, he had never seen a gift from Xiao Burn, and he really didn't regard himself as an outsider.

Mayor Qin became more and more embarrassed: "Lao Tian, don't talk nonsense, this is Comrade Li Ming, the new deputy director of the Organization Department of the Yinsong County Party Committee, and today I came down to investigate and work, what do you have to talk about later!"

Tian Quan, the new deputy director of the Organization Department of the Yinsong County Party Committee, opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it, he didn't expect that he was still a small bureaucrat who sent the fish, as the village director, he still knew very well about the cadre sequence in the system, Director Tian knew very well that this was enough to affect the fate of the vast majority of people in Dongli Town, hey, I went too far!

Director Tian was a little at a loss for a while, Li Ming smiled and held Lao Tian's hand, which was still wet: "Let's go together, the fish in my car was still given to me by Director Tian, that Director Yin is sorry, I will trouble you again, there are two boxes of good wine in the back of the car, and I am still not used to drinking the fragrance of Wuliangye sauce in Moutai Bar." ”

"No trouble, no trouble!"

It is a great honor to be able to run errands for the new deputy director of the Organization Department of the Yinsong County Party Committee, and have you not seen the envious, jealous and hateful eyes of other cadres in the town? Normally, the deputy director of the Organization Department of the county party committee is high, and it is even more difficult for the township and town cadres to meet each other, but to be able to intersect with Vice Minister Li today is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes!

Director Yin raised his feet and was just about to leave, Li Ming said again: "You still call someone to go with you, by the way, take ten Great China down, and there is a few cans and two bottles of red wine called Hua Chicken in the refrigerator," Seeing everyone's surprise, Li quickly added, "I was going to have a picnic by myself." ”

In October, Songgang City is already very cold, and the water surface will freeze in the morning and evening, and the still water in the shade will be frozen all day long. In a few days, those big bubbles and small ponds will be frozen, and the picnic is romantic on this day, this is a panic, right?

Only Qu Wenfu knew that Li Ming lost his wife not long ago, and it was still shouted by Zhu Li when she went home to vent, although she didn't know what happened in Chuncheng, but her wife, who had been married for less than a year, died of incense, and it was difficult for anyone to accept it.

Speaking of which, the old man here can be regarded as an acquaintance, Secretary Qu stepped forward and patted Li Ming on the shoulder: "I am a few years older than you and call you brother, look at everything, come and come, let's drink tea first, tell the kitchen to hurry up, don't starve us to death! If you starve to death, it will not be your turn to take the position!"

I dare to say anything, Li Ming admires this green hat brother a little: "Don't worry, hunger is also a kind of exercise, it is said that eating one less meal is the latest health, hahaha!"

Everyone was amazed, there was a young county leader who came down to investigate, and the official faction was comparable to the prime minister on the stage, which was the arrogance of the young man. But the person in front of him who is in an important position, although he is only a section-level cadre, is enough to affect the appointment and dismissal of many deputy section-level and section-level cadres.

Life is really wonderful, Qu Wenfu would never have imagined that he could sit and eat with Li Ming, his daughter-in-law and Li were political enemies. It is said that the political struggle between the two has reached a white-hot level, from the autumn equinox town to the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, I don't know why, my daughter-in-law just can't look down on this guy.

In fact, in Qu Wenfu's opinion, Comrade Xiao Li is still very affinity, but Zhu Li doesn't like it. Secretary Qu waved his hand: "Director Tian's fish is good, but there is still a bit of a gap compared to the fish in the autumn equinox village, and it is not good to entertain Comrade Li Ming with a whole fish banquet." Or according to what I just said, if you kill a sheep and eat a meal of mutton, you can make two fish as a side dish. ”

It is normal for towns and towns to slaughter chickens, sheep and dogs during the autumn harvest, and it can be regarded as the autumn breeze of the new era, but usually this kind of banquet will appear when entertaining higher-level leaders, and Comrade Xiao Li does not feel that he is a leader.

Li Ming took out a wad of money and slapped it on the table: "Since Secretary Qu is interested, let's have a good meal today, and I will pay for the sheep! Mayor Qin, don't stare, this is your first meal here, don't blame me for being overstepping! I just came back from Chuncheng, and a group of brothers want to have a good meal, is there a better place than you? I'll call those brothers, if one sheep is not enough, two will come, one will be eaten and the other will be roasted, do you need me to find a master to come over?"
