Guo Xiaozhou knew that the play was coming, so he took a sip of tea lightly. After studying in the party school for two months, although his theoretical knowledge has improved, his greatest progress is in qi cultivation and kung fu.

The term "Qi Cultivation Kung Fu" is derived from the Tai Chi boxing method, the so-called "Qi Cultivation" is to cultivate the spirit, the sense of luck, in the officialdom, refers to the control of the situation, and even the height of IQ and EQ.

"Nourishing Qi" pays attention to the form as the body, the intention as the use, the quiet as the harmony, and the comprehensive induction, that is, it is loose and natural, the void spirit is upright, the twists and turns are exquisite, and the circle is one.

When you cultivate your qi, your aura will naturally radiate.

Although both of them were drinking tea, Guo Xiaozhou's movements at this time were steady, powerful, and magnanimous. In the eyes of subordinates, it is a manifestation of domineering and strength.

Zhan Shaowen became more and more nervous, and his speech became more respectful, "County Magistrate Guo, I heard that you came to Lu'an to take up a new position, and the comrades of the government and I are very happy. ”

Guo Xiaozhou smiled and said: "The achievements are teamwork, now is not the era of lonely heroes, only unity can exert strength." I also look forward to working with Lu An's team to make achievements and live up to the expectations of the leaders and the people. ”

Zhan Shaowen nodded frequently, "With you taking the lead, Lu An's future can be expected." ”

Guo Xiaozhou smiled and stopped talking.

Zhan Shaowen paused, took out a bank card from his briefcase and put it on the coffee table, and said cautiously: "This is a fund expenditure card of your county magistrate's fund, considering that you are in Kyoto for a meeting and study, and you have the need for official expenses, I came to Kyoto specially to come to Kyoto, and there is still a balance on the card......

Guo Xiaozhou didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately interrupted him, "Thank you Director Zhan for your kindness, I haven't reported at this time, and I can't enjoy this treatment for the time being." ”

Zhan Shaowen opened his mouth to explain, "It is a foregone conclusion that you will come to Lu'an, and you are in Kyoto, so you will definitely need to spend money......"

Guo Xiaozhou said in a deep voice: "Put it away." ”

The leader Zhan Shaowen didn't want to face in the past was Ou Chaoyang, the secretary of the county party committee, but at this time, he felt that the power of the young county magistrate in front of him was not inferior to Ou Chaoyang, and even surpassed.

He didn't dare to resist at all, so he had to put away his bank card.

Guo Xiaozhou had heard of the "mayor's fund", "county magistrate's fund", and even the "township mayor's fund" before. However, most of the "funds" that can be arranged for government leaders are some economically developed counties and cities, and the Chen Tower, where he used to work, is too poor, and Deng Huaidong, the secretary, is relatively picky, so there is no "township chief fund".

The so-called "county magistrate's fund" is a special fund for the flexible use of some local government leaders, and an amount is determined every year so that these leaders can flexibly use it in their official activities.

These "funds" are basically used for activities such as traveling abroad, going out for study and study, attracting investment, and dredging up relationships that are not convenient for spending on the financial account. Because no department dares to check this account, and it will not check, most of them turn a blind eye, and it is relatively convenient to use.

As far as Guo Xiaozhou knows, all departments at all levels now stress strict financial and economic discipline and implement a centralized collection and payment system for the state treasury or centralized accounting, and there is already an intention to kill this kind of special power "fund" similar to a small treasury. And before he took office, this "fund" was delivered to him, which made him have to be vigilant. Is this a sugar-coated cannonball or a poisonous apple?

He had to figure out whether this card was sent by Zhan Shaowen himself, or was there someone behind it.

He took a sip of tea lightly, "Director Zhan, you have been following the former county magistrate, how did he use the county magistrate's fund?" ”

Zhan Shaowen saw that when he talked about the former county magistrate, his already uncalm heart suddenly jumped up and explained: "County magistrate Guo, this special fund was only allocated in March, and there were rumors about the former county magistrate Qin in April, and he has not had time to use ......."

"Oh! In this way, there is a lot of money in this county magistrate's fund. ”

Zhan Shaowen nodded and affirmed: "It's a lot." ”

"Who asked you to send the card?" Guo Xiaozhou asked suddenly.

Zhan Shaowen was taken aback, knowing that it was time for him to show his attitude, this card was indeed not sent by him on his own initiative, but by someone hinting.

The person who hinted at him was Xin Fu, the executive deputy county magistrate of Lu'an County.

As the executive deputy county magistrate of Lu'an County and the sworn friend of Ou Chaoyang, the secretary of the county party committee, Xin Fu and Ou Chaoyang suppressed Qin Dake from the local department to the point that he couldn't move, and finally took the opportunity of the factional dispute to send Qin Dake to prison. It's not just despicable, it's vicious. It can be said that in the entire Lu'an County, many people are not afraid of Ou Chaoyang, after all, Ou Chaoyang acts according to the rules, but this Xin Fu has made all kinds of vicious means, and he doesn't talk about any rules at all.

Zhan Shaowen is Qin Dake's person, this time Qin Dake was dismissed, he also knew that he did not have any future in Lu'an, and it was extremely normal to be beaten into the cold palace. According to his calculations, Xin Fu is most likely to succeed Qin Dake as county magistrate.

But people are not as good as heaven.

In the end, it was an outsider who sat on the throne of the county magistrate.

When Zhan Shaowen learned the news, hope surged in his desperate heart again. As long as he is not happy, there is still a glimmer of hope for his future.

However, when the happy secretary found him last night, hinted, threatened, and promised, he had to rush to Kyoto overnight with his card.

Where to go, telling the truth, undoubtedly offended Xin Fu, and it will be difficult to move an inch in Lu'an in the future.

If you don't tell the truth, it is very likely that you will offend your future boss, Guo Xiaozhou is currently the one who controls his career.

Friends and enemies are often only one step away. The choice of this step can sometimes mean heaven and hell.

Zhan Shaowen's thoughts were full of thoughts, even if he catered to Xin Fu, he would not be able to become Xin Fu's henchman, and the future would be nothing more than not being excluded, being less suppressed, and being stable.

But this is not the life he wants, he is only in his thirties, he still has ideals and ambitions, and it is Guo Xiaozhou who gives him confidence. This county magistrate is so young, and his momentum is close to Ou Chaoyang, besides, so young, but he can snatch the position of county magistrate from Xin Fukou, how can he have no ability and no background, he plans to gamble - either life or death.

"It's a hint from the executive magistrate of Xinfu." Zhan Shaowen gritted his teeth and told the truth. After speaking, he silently waited for the verdict of fate.

Undoubtedly, the hand of sentencing is in the hands of Guo Xiaozhou.

Guo Xiaozhou looked at him calmly, not surprised at all. He knew that Zhan Shaowen had had a mental struggle. He also expects Zhan Shaowen to make a choice that is beneficial to him.

If he guessed correctly, Zhan Shaowen was the first to fall to him.

He also wanted to have a useful underling. But he also knew that if he wanted to completely conquer Zhan Shaowen in a short period of time, he had to help the other party in time when he needed help the most, instead of just a few nice words now.

They are all adults, all in officialdom, and they all know that language is just a tool, no matter how gorgeous it is.

The so-called "gentleman is righteous, villain is profitable." There must be different ways to treat different people. In the case that he has not yet understood the details of Zhan Shao's writing, any statement represents unreliability.

Guo Xiaozhou smiled, "Zhang Esheng is a ...... person"

Zhan Shaowen couldn't wait to say: "Director Zhang is the brother-in-law of Ou Chaoyang's brother-in-law. ”

Guo Xiaozhou suddenly changed the topic, not talking about work or people, and asked Zhan Shaowen about his family, his wife's work, his children's education, and so on in a calm tone.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Esheng, director of the Beijing Office, knocked on the door, holding two cigarettes and a few boxes of tea in his hand, and put them in front of Guo Xiaozhou with a smile, "County Magistrate Guo needs to communicate in the party school, and our Beijing Office is a place to provide logistics services for the leaders." ”

Guo Xiaozhou did not refuse, as a leader, if he is too honest, he will lead to fewer and fewer people around him, and if the water is clear, there will be no fish! He won't ask for money, but a little gift, he won't refuse.

After Zhang Esheng entered the door, his eyes frequently looked at Zhan Shaowen.

And Zhan Shaowen was unusually calm. Maintain inherent politeness and distance towards Guo Xiaozhou.

Zhan Shaowen is observing Guo Xiaozhou. Guo Xiaozhou was also observing him. If you train the wrong person, you will pay a price, especially if you are regarded as a confidant. If Zhan Shaowen's mind is too simple, it will not only be difficult to do anything in politics, but it will also harm him at a critical time.

After sitting in the teahouse for half an hour, Guo Xiaozhou got up and left.

The reason why he didn't continue to talk to the two of them today was because his purpose today was very simple, just to meet people. Without understanding the precursors of the situation, it is superfluous to talk about it. Moreover, he also gained a little, which not only confirmed Xin Fu's small methods, but also got Zhan Shaowen's refuge.

As for why Xin Fu, who he had never met, targeted him, it was obvious that he had snatched the position that originally belonged to Xin Fu.

Out of the teahouse, Zhang Esheng insisted on sending him back to the party school. Guo Xiaozhou politely refused and insisted on getting into a taxi.

Looking at the back of the taxi, Zhang Esheng immediately stared at Zhan Shaowen and asked urgently, "Did he collect the card?" ”

Zhan Shaowen shook his head, "Confiscate." ”

Confiscate?

Zhang Esheng's mind couldn't turn for a while, in the face of such a large amount of "fund" with a high degree of autonomy, let alone a young and vigorous county magistrate, even an old guy in his forties and fifties, he would not let go of this piece of fat. Besides, it's a piece of fat that won't go wrong after eating it.

"It's not like you're talking too much about something you shouldn't say, is it?" Zhang E looked at him with a smile on his face. The right to use the fund was Xinfu's idea, and although it seems like nothing is going on at the moment, anything that steps on the red line means risk. Just because you're okay now doesn't mean you'll be okay in the future. Of course, Xin Fu's hand is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, not only to plant a mine for Guo Xiaozhou, but also to test and understand Guo Xiaozhou's preference for money.

Zhan Shaowen asked him rhetorically, "What good is it that I said?" ”

Zhang Esheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Also, you are a smart person, and you know what to choose to make in your own favor." Brother Zhan, you know Lu An's situation, don't talk about him Guo Xiaozhou, even if you go to a dragon, you have to lie on your stomach. ”

Speaking of this, the mobile phone on Zhang Esheng's body rang, and when he looked at the number, his eyes lit up, and he left Zhan Shaowen quickly, and said respectfully: "County Magistrate Xin!" Good evening! ”
