When Guo Xiaozhou came out of Wei Lishan's house, it was already half past ten in the evening.

To be honest, it was hard for him to believe that Bai Yongmin would make such a low-level mistake.

It is not uncommon for Bai Yongmin to have a third party or even a fourth person, provided that he must properly handle the relationship with them.

This time, he was ridiculously wrong about the time and place.

First of all, he shouldn't have had an affair with a very well-known local hostess in such a sensitive period. And then there is the fact that "wars" should not be fought in the wild.

When Guo Xiaozhou saw the video and photos, he couldn't believe that it would be Bai Yongmin. This deputy secretary is known for his stability in Lu'an officialdom. How could you suddenly change a different person? Sperm on the brain, can't extricate themselves? Or is it a release after a long period of repression?

But in any case, in this world, there is a kind of woman that must not be touched, and if she touches it, she will have an accident. This kind of woman is ambitious and not willing to be mediocre. For example, Han Yafang before the change. Even if Guo Xiaozhou moved her little thumb, she would fall into her arms. But Guo Xiaozhou didn't dare to play with fire.

As for why Bai Yongmin suddenly seemed to be a different person, Guo Xiaozhou returned to his room, but he still didn't find an answer. For the videos and photos handed over by Wei Lishan, he didn't think about how to use them.

If it is said that in the harmonious direction of heart-to-heart, he should return the photos and videos to Bai Yongmin, or destroy them privately.

But Guo Xiaozhou instinctively felt the changes in Bai Yongmin, and he had some hidden worries about the future and cooperation space.

So, he opened a small safe in his bedroom and locked the memory card.

The next morning, he and Bai Yongmin left Lu'an and headed for Shunshan.

In Shunshan, Ke Jinshan, secretary of the municipal party committee, had a conversation with the two of them. The main theme of the conversation was to ask them whether they had confidence in their future work, and second, to warn the two to work together to stress politics and harmonious development. Secretary Ke didn't give each of them much time to talk, just half an hour.

And Guo Xiaozhou's conversation ended in less than half an hour. Since Guo Xiaozhou took up his new post in Lu'an, he has met Ke Jinshan four times at the meeting and once alone. His feeling is that Ke Jinshan is old-fashioned and unsmiling, and it is not easy to talk to him.

Bai Yongmin came out of Ke Jinshan's office, rushed into Mayor Qiu Guohong's office, and then went through the doors of almost all the members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee at home.

Guo Xiaozhou called Bai Yongmin, and the two went to see the old secretary Ou Chaoyang together, but Bai Yongmin refused without hesitation.

Guo Xiaozhou had no choice but to go to the family building of the Shunshan CPPCC alone.

After inquiry, Guo Xiaozhou found a half-new and half-old family building.

Ou Chaoyang was relegated to the CPPCC very suddenly, and there is no division of labor for the time being, so he belongs to the idlers among the idlers. The CPPCC logistics also gave him a 99-square-meter old house accordingly.

Guo Xiaozhou knocked on the door, and it was Ou Chaoyang's wife who opened the door, women are different from men, they are simple-minded, love to hold grudges, and they are not good at hiding their expressions.

Seeing Guo Xiaozhou standing in front of the door, she said angrily, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I'm here to do business in Shunshan, and I'll come to see Secretary Ou by the way." Guo Xiaozhou maintains a man's demeanor and politeness.

He ...... Not ...... away," Mrs. Ou said and was about to close the door, when suddenly Ou Chaoyang's voice came from the living room, "Who is here?" ”

Guo Xiaozhou said loudly: "It's me, Guo Xiaozhou." ”

"Oh...... Please, please come in! Ou Chaoyang walked to the door wearing white loungewear and holding a basin in his hand. Seeing Guo Xiaozhou, his slightly sunken eyes suddenly lit up.

Mrs. Ou snorted helplessly, turned around and walked into the bedroom, and slammed the door shut.

Ou Chaoyang smiled self-deprecatingly and pointed to the sofa, "How do you have time to come to Shunshan?" Now should be the time when you are busy. ”

Guo Xiaozhou smiled and said, "Secretary Ke summoned me." ”

After speaking, he added, "At the same time, Secretary Bai Yongmin was summoned." ”

A complicated and inexplicable look flashed across Ou Chaoyang's face, and he sighed: "I hope it's Wei Lishan." Pity. ”

Guo Xiaozhou said curiously: "You don't seem to be optimistic about Bai Yongmin. ”

Ou Chaoyang wanted to speak and stopped: "In fact, it is not difficult to be a responsible official, the difficult thing is to keep the bottom line while making achievements." I remember that I made three requests to Xin Fu back then, one is not to use the wrong power, the second is not to carry the wrong money, and the third is not to go to the wrong bed. ”

Guo Xiaozhou thought of Bai Yongmin's affair in the Dalonghe Reservoir very sensitively, and today Ou Chaoyang mentioned these three sentences, whether he was aimed at Bai Yongmin, or did he know Bai Yongmin very well.

"Xiao Zhou, you have the ability to work, you have knowledge, and you are a handsome talent. But in terms of seeing people and recognizing people, they still need to be cultivated! ”

Guo Xiaozhou was not convinced by Ou Chaoyang's comments, he thought he was a specialty in terms of seeing people, and since he entered the official career, how could he miss a person.

"Small continent! I'm glad you came to see me. A flash of gratitude flashed across Ou Chaoyang's face. As you know, since the main task of the county government is to manage and develop the social and economic affairs of its jurisdiction, the secretary of the party committee, in addition to being in charge of personnel functions, must focus mainly on the social and economic development of the jurisdiction. In line with this, the economic decision-making opportunities of local governments will first be brewed at the secretary's office meeting, then discussed by the party committee, and finally handed over to the county magistrate and the government departments led by him to form a formal government document and implement it. ”

"Under this system, on the one hand, the secretary of the county party committee is the real decision-maker of the local government's social and economic affairs policy, and the government's achievements in developing the local economy will be recorded on the head of the county party secretary first; On the other hand, the main targets of punishment by higher authorities for ineffective or improper work of local governments are often county magistrates or deputy county magistrates in charge of specific tasks. Of course, the grievances of the county magistrates are also rewarded: no matter what the reason for the county party secretary to leave office, more than 60 percent of the county magistrates will be promoted to the county party secretary, and about half of the county party secretaries are directly promoted by the county magistrate. Of course, you are the exception. The timing is wrong. ”

Guo Xiaozhou didn't understand much.

Ou Chaoyang continued: "I'll say it in a different way. The biggest difference between the top leaders of the party and government is that one speaks, one does, one finds faults, and the other is faulty. If you want to do things, you can't do without the support of the secretary of the county party committee, and similarly, the county government is not working effectively, and there are big reasons for the county party committee. Therefore, the person who can decide the fate of the county magistrate is often the secretary of the county party committee. ”

Guo Xiaozhou understood. Ou Chaoyang doubts the prospects for cooperation between Bai Yongmin and him. He said: "Secretary Bai is still able to take care of the overall situation. ”

Ou Chaoyang sneered, "That's because you didn't see the essence of people clearly." To see the true character of a person, it is necessary to look at his appearance when he is in power. You just saw his low profile in Lu'an, ignoring his appearance before coming to Lu'an. ”

Guo Xiaozhou shook his head, "I really don't know Secretary Bai's work experience before he came to Lu'an. ”

Former member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangtang County Party Committee and Secretary of the Party Committee of Luodian Town. He is known for his iron fist in Luodian, and if you understand his actions in Luodian back then, you will understand that his real character is not calm. Radical and authoritarian. Ou Chaoyang sighed: "If I hadn't pressed him back then...... Okay, let's not talk about that. ”

Guo Xiaozhou said, "I came to learn from you." ”

Ou Chaoyang looked at Guo Xiaozhou, and couldn't help but say: "As a leader in any unit, there will be a group of people around you, don't refuse, but the crowd can't be single, and you have to be good at guiding them, cultivating them, and getting used to protecting them, of course, it's more important to protect yourself." ”

Guo Xiaozhou thought of Wei Zhe, Zhan Shaowen, Qi Dabao, Chai Hua, Han Yafang, Liu Dali, Zhou Yongqing and others who had approached him and were accepted by him, as well as some people who tried to get close but were rejected by him.

Among these people, Chai Hua is the only member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, and he is the only help from the top level; Qi Dabao and Liu Dali are middle-level cores, public security bureau chiefs and finance bureau chiefs, and their strength is no less than ordinary county party committee standing committee members.

Zhan Shaowen is the backbone. Assistant to the county magistrate, director of the office of the county government, and also has a number of responsibilities.

Wei Zhe, Han Yafang, and Zhou Yongqing are the objects of his cultivation and the underlying cornerstones.

According to Ou Chaoyang's words, the crowd around him is too single. Almost all of them are confined to the county government, not the county party committee, and not the township. This is something he will have to solve in the future.

Guo Xiaozhou said very modestly.

"But it's not these people who decide your fate. Look at me, didn't others say that I have a group of hardcores in Lu'an? But once Lu An's political pattern changes, or I transfer Lu An, for example, now, what role can these people play? Speaking of this, Ou Chaoyang smiled self-deprecatingly, "You are the first Lu'an official to come to Shunshan to see me." ”

Guo Xiaozhou understood what he meant not to forget to do a good job in the relationship with the high-level, and often the high-level and the lowest level were his political guarantees. But some words are good to understand, and they are not necessarily suitable to say, he said: "I don't know about others, but you are an old leader who has contributed to Lu An, you are more familiar with Lu An than anyone else, and you care about Lu An more than anyone else." I've come to visit you, rightly so. ”

Ou Chaoyang smiled, he appreciated Guo Xiaozhou's awareness of the overall situation more and more, and he also appreciated that he could put himself in the right position, and even felt a little sympathy.

Both had a sense of regret.

In the career of the official, who doesn't want to meet their favorite political partner. It's a pity that they just began to understand and were about to break up. Even if they can work together for the last term, Lu An's future, their future......

It's exciting to think about!

I finally give you a piece of advice: "The county magistrate must have the appearance of the county magistrate, after all, your identity is not the captain, the village head, the town mayor, the director, but the head of a county, of course, you can't be like Bai Yongmin used to be quiet, but you must also pay attention to the way of working. There is no need for you to personally lead a team to inspect environmental protection, and there is no need for you to go to the front line of demolition and relocation, go to Wujiang and go to Guanghan to talk about the automobile base. Every leader has their own position, you do their thing, what do they do? Sometimes, it also affects the performance of subordinates. ”

Guo Xiaozhou nodded frequently, and this spoke to his heart. Although he has now intentionally or unintentionally begun to delegate power, to Zhan Shaowen and Han Yafang, this is far from enough. He is still used to grasping the overall situation, and there are no small mistakes. This guide Zhan Shaowen and Han Yafang became dependent on him, reporting big and small things, affecting their ability to work independently.

In the end, Ou Chaoyang said in an accentuated tone: "Politics needs wisdom, and security needs barriers!" You have to beware of supporting the people in vain, don't wait to be passive, it's too late for you to redeem it. ”

After Guo Xiaozhou left Ou Chaoyang's house, he has been pondering Ou Chaoyang's words.

He was a little puzzled, why was Ou Chaoyang so unoptimistic about the prospects of his cooperation with Bai Yongmin?
