In Li Jiatao's view, if there are differences in the leadership group, disunity is real and in line with the human system, and such a result will make members control and supervise each other, which will be more conducive to the building of a clean and honest government and overt supervision, and prevent subjectivism and one-sidedness in work. At a time when the supervision of open cooking is relatively weak, there is nothing wrong with one more voice and one more disagreement.

But Li Jiatao also knew very well in his heart that these ideas of his were unconventional and destined not to be recognized by the mainstream, he just thought about it casually.

This morning, Li Jiatao went to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of a residential area held by the Yuhua District Construction Company, and it happened that Wei Wei also went, the two of them said hello, cut the ribbon together, and then went to a farmhouse to relax at the invitation of Mr. Wang of the construction company.

That place was originally a construction company's farm, and later in order to generate income, the company converted it into a farmhouse, built a leisure club, a restaurant, a swimming pool, raised birds and animals, planted a variety of vegetables and fruits, and recruited some ethnic minority girls, while singing, while toasting, making it very lively, people who came here to consume were endless, and the business was very prosperous.

Li Jiatao didn't want to go to a crowded place to join in the fun, but Wei Wei was too interested, and Mr. Wang was too enthusiastic, so he had to follow them.

A golden rice field, a gust of wind blowing, waving countless golden whirlpools, it is very beautiful. Li Jiatao's mood was also much more relaxed and relaxed. Living in the reinforced concrete of the city for a long time, thinking about those complicated people and things, will make people anxious and sensitive, and only by being close to nature can the body and mind be relaxed.

There was still more than an hour before eating, and when he saw chess in the room, Wei Wei was going to fight Li Jiatao. Li Jiatao had long heard that Wei was playing chess well, and he also wanted to weigh his weight.

After not touching the chess pieces for a long time, as soon as they saw each other, Li Jiatao and Wei opened the Chu River and Han realms.

After more than half an hour, when it came to the endgame, Wei Wei only had one horse left, and Li Jiatao only had one pawn left.

"If no one appreciates the horse, it will only be a lone horse." Wei Wei sighed with emotion.

"If there is no collaborator, he is alone." Li Jiatao laughed.

This game of chess is naturally a draw, and everyone is happy, and the two look at each other and laugh!

"Life is like chess, chess is like life. In the game of chess, I was reminded of the low-key speech made by District Mayor Li at the last Standing Committee, which can be described as winning more with less and overcoming rigidity with softness. If you don't deal with it head-on, you are a wise man. Wei Wei was still unsatisfied, and continued.

As soon as Li Jiatao heard it, he knew that Wei Wei was going to use the topic to play today, so he smiled and said: "Secretary Wei has won the award, where can I catch up with you?" The logic of the speech is rigorous, the water is not leaky, and the surface is silent, but it contains tension, even if it praises or dispraises anyone, it makes people feel justified. If you have a profound realm, you will never be able to reach such a realm. ”

After hearing this, Wei Wei laughed out loud, and said while laughing: "If I really cultivate at home, others won't be able to see who I praise and belittle whom." If you can see it, it means that my skills are not enough. Brother Jiatao, I look at the situation in Yuhua District, you and I are in a similar situation. ”

As he spoke, Wei Wei replaced the black pawn with a red pawn, matched it with the red horse, and looked at Li Jiatao: "If my Ma He and your soldiers are combined, the strength will be greater." ”

Li Jiatao smiled secretly in his heart, this Wei Wei's scheming was really hidden, but he said tentatively: "Then isn't the 'general' on my side the end?" ”

Wei Wei said: "As far as I know, the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee may have to send someone to our Yuhua District to inspect the team, which may not be beneficial to him. ”

Li Jiatao was like a mirror in his heart, Wei Wei was not saying what he was talking about, he said this was nothing more than a gesture, wanting to make himself happy, and then form an alliance with him to deal with Wan Zhiqiang together. Of course, Li Jiatao is not a fool, if Wan Zhiqiang is really squeezed out, can Wei Wei take the initiative to give up the fight?

The answer is absolutely not!

However, then again, if Wan Zhiqiang really vacated the seat, it would not be an opportunity for Li Jiatao. Wei is different and he has advantages, Li Jiatao also has advantages, chasing the Central Plains, who will kill the deer, it is not yet known!

However, taking a step back, even if Wei Wei really takes the lead, at least the cooperation is happier than Wan Zhiqiang.

"I'm going to become a 'general', where will I put your Secretary Wei? Unless you become 'handsome', I have hope. Li Jiatao smiled slightly.

"Each other, in another three years, 'handsome' will also be at retirement age, so naturally we have to retire, and when the time comes, aren't 'will' and 'handsome' just the two of us? Good things happen every year, but I'm afraid that people will get old. Wei Wei said very happily.

Li Jiatao finally understood what Wei Wei meant, this guy was not only staring at the position of the district head, but the position of the secretary of the district party committee three years later. For them, if there is an empty seat in front of them, there will be more hope, and at this point the two are the same, so they smiled and said: "It's like fishing, you have to be patient and wait." ”

Wei Wei answered: "If the fish is hooked, if you don't catch it, what you are waiting for may be empty." If the opportunity comes, if you don't go for it, you may miss the opportunity. This time, the municipal party committee inspection team also wants everyone to recommend two candidates for the deputy department level, and I will recommend you when the time comes. This kind of recommended thing, it's really useless to say it's useless, the key is not to say it below, but to listen to the above. However, if the above is to determine the candidate on the basis of the following recommendation, the recommendation becomes a crucial step. ”

Li Jiatao smiled and nodded: "Then I will support Brother Xi." ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

A few days later, the Organization Department of the Liusha Municipal Party Committee really came down to inspect the team of Yuhua District, and the team was led by Deputy Minister Zhou of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. The scope of this investigation is very wide, and there are many procedures, the first procedure is individual conversations, and the location is located in the VIP building of Yuhua Hotel.

Vice Minister Zhou is responsible for individual conversations with members of the Standing Committee of the Yuhua District Party Committee, and Deputy Director of the Cadre Division is responsible for individual conversations with the top leaders of important ministries and bureaus.

Li Jiatao also received a telephone notice from the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and went to accept Vice Minister Zhou's talk.

As soon as I entered the gate of the Yuhua Hotel, a staff member of the Municipal Party Committee Office greeted me and said with a smile: "District Mayor Li, you can rest in the rest room for a while, the conversation between Vice Minister Zhou and the Propaganda Minister of the District Party Committee is not over yet, you have to wait a little longer." ”

Li Jiatao naturally didn't have any ideas, and followed him to the lounge. After drinking two cups of tea, Li Jiatao was received by Vice Minister Zhou.

After the two men said hello, the conversation got to the point. Vice Minister Zhou told Li Jiatao the general content of the talk, first, he asked him to talk about the building of the district party committee's leading body, especially his views on the second-in-command. The second is to recommend one or two candidates for cadres at the deputy department level to the organization.

While listening, Li Jiatao was wondering whether this inspection of the municipal party committee was really like what Wei Wei said to move Wan Zhiqiang. Li Jiatao was even thinking that Wei Wei's hint would not be the instruction of Ou Dongping, the secretary of the district party committee, right? If the organization really intends to remove Wan Zhiqiang, does it still need to go through such a formality? I'm afraid the problem is not so simple, and I can't tell what Ou Dongping is thinking.

However, Li Jiatao was still a little hesitant, although Wan Zhiqiang was very domineering, domineering, and used himself as a gun, but more importantly, it was not good for his future.

"Comrade Jiatao. The reason why we have to talk individually this time is that we want each of our interlocutors to tell the truth and reflect the most real situation. You can rest assured that you won't tell anyone about the content of the conversation except for organizational control. Who is Vice Minister Zhou, he immediately saw the concerns in Li Jiatao's heart and said immediately.

Vice Minister Zhou's words also made Li Jiatao finally make up his mind, unite the soldiers and horses, and govern others in the way of others.

Li Jiatao first said that Ou Dongping has a lot of luxury, how strong Ou Dongping's affinity is, how safe he is in speaking and doing things, how to adhere to the scientific concept of development, and how to be a competent squad leader.

After finishing talking about Ou Dongping, Li Jiatao turned the topic to Wan Zhiqiang, saying that he had courage, courage, and daring, and after the praise was finished, a "but" turned the topic to another meaning, saying that it is not enough to have courage and courage, but also to have a scientific outlook on development, to have the spirit of pragmatism and truth-seeking, and to have a sense of unity and cooperation of the overall situation.

Li Jiatao cited the mistakes in decision-making of the model houses, the cold reception and indifference to the petitioners, the lack of enthusiasm for public opinion supervision, and the lack of modesty in criticism of the district committee.

Li Jiatao was reasonable, and in the process of speaking, his eyes kept on Vice Minister Zhou, hoping to see his preference from the expression on his face.

Li Jiatao felt from Vice Minister Zhou's nodding from time to time that Vice Minister Zhou was not only listening carefully to his words, but also had a little affirmation in it.

After evaluating the first and second leaders, Vice Minister Zhou also asked Li Jiatao to recommend one or two reserve candidates for deputy department-level cadres. Li Jiatao hesitated, but still recommended Wei Wei.

Li Jiatao has no reason not to recommend it, firstly, Wei Wei has made a promise to recommend him, and Li Jiatao can't help but return this favor. Second, in addition to Wei Wei, Li Jiatao really couldn't find a second recommended object.

Walking out of Yuhua Hotel, Li Jiatao suddenly felt empty in his heart, and asked himself: Am I too ruthless to Wan Zhiqiang by doing this?

This is also the first time that Li Jiatao has reported to the organization that his boss is not, although what he said is the truth, there is no exaggeration and untruth, but after all, this is what was not said at the meeting, after all, the denial of Wan Zhiqiang's work is greater than the affirmation. If Wan Zhiqiang knows, I'm afraid that he will think that Li Jiatao is a villain in front of him and behind him!

"Even if Wan Zhiqiang knows, there is nothing, and I don't make it up, I have a clear conscience." Li Jiatao thought about it for a while, "Besides, I am reporting the situation to the organization, and I am not talking nonsense below, what is there to blame?" ”

After the inspection of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, the gossip was like a gust of wind, which quickly spread in Yuhua District. Some said that Wan Zhiqiang might have to be suspended for inspection, and Li Jiatao would be the district head. Some people also say that the candidate for the district mayor is Wei different, Ou Dongping is going to be the deputy mayor, and Yuhua District is going to have a new secretary.

The speaker only said that he had heard of it, and the listener did not ask where he had heard it, let alone how many of his real surnames were. Some people say it but don't say it, and those who listen listen to it will be the wind in their ears.

Only people in officialdom will care about the source and real surname of these news, because their fate is more or less inextricably linked to the protagonist, and the overall situation is controlled at every turn, and the change of a main character will bring a series of reactions to the following, some people may be disappointed in officialdom from now on, and some people may ascend to the sky in one step.

Because of this, once the news spread, the officialdom can be described as mixed. Among the happy people, naturally most of them were Wei Wei's cronies, and Qiao Feng, who had just served as the security captain of Yuhua District, was also indispensable.

Li Jiatao has been very busy recently, and he has no time to pay attention to these gossip. People from the province and city are constantly coming, and they are receiving and accompanying inspections. This time, the evaluation and inspection team of the National Spiritual Civilization Demonstration Zone came to conduct the assessment, and he, the executive deputy head of the district, had to accompany him for several days until the evening, and he was very busy.

After finishing his work, Li Jiatao looked back and saw that he had no results, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Li Jiatao also knows in his heart that the second-in-command is an obscure position, and when he is a deputy, he must learn ten taboos: one is to avoid being too sharp and showing himself everywhere. Second, he is arrogant and does not listen to commands. 3. Taboo offside dictatorship and make your own claims. Fourth, it is taboo to show merit and belittle others. The five taboos are to take credit and dare not take responsibility. Sixth, taboos are far and near, and gangs are formed. Seven taboos are taboo to vent personal integrity and take care of personal grievances. Eight taboos and a leader to deviate from morality, do my own thing. Nine taboos cut first and then play, make their own opinions. 10. Taboo betraying righteousness and dismantling Taiwan and spreading opposing opinions.

Regarding Wan Zhiqiang's rumors, Li Jiatao naturally heard it, but he pretended not to hear it when he heard it. Li Jiatao knows very well in his heart that unfounded rumors like this are inevitable everywhere, and it is not strange at all, today he is talking about Wan Zhiqiang, and tomorrow someone may make up rumors about you!

However, Li Jiatao felt that the municipal party committee's examination must have pointed to his surname, and the development of the matter really confirmed his judgment!

Not long after, the district party committee received a notice from the organization department of the municipal party committee that Wan Zhiqiang would be sent to study at the party school of the provincial party committee for a period of three months.

This is a very sensitive issue, and there are generally two kinds of people who go to the party school, one is the key promotion target, who goes to the party school to recharge and is promoted when he comes back. The second type is problematic, you have to study with problems, and you may have to adjust to a new position after learning.

Does Wan Zhiqiang belong to the former or the latter?

Most of the people in the officialdom of Yuhua District know in their hearts that Wan Zhiqiang went to study at the Provincial Party School this time, and the possible surname of returning to Liusha City will not be too big.

Of course, discerning people understand better that Wan Zhiqiang went to study this time, and the biggest beneficiary was Li Jiatao. Of course, Li Jiatao was happy, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to the opportunity for Wan Zhiqiang to go out to study for three months, so that he could temporarily take charge of the work of the district political axe for at least three months!

This is not only an opportunity for Li Jiatao to fully grasp the situation and show his talents, but also a favorable opportunity to open up new interpersonal relationships. If things go well, Li Jiatao may even replace Wan Zhiqiang, the district head.

On the afternoon of that day, Ou Dongping, secretary of the district party committee, called Li Jiatao over and formally talked to him about taking over the work of the district political axe.

"Jiatao, I have already talked to Comrade Zhiqiang and asked him to hand over all the work to you. Although you are only in charge of the work for three months temporarily, you have a lot of burden on you. I hope you will let go and work boldly without any worries. Second, it is necessary to maintain a high degree of consistency with the district party committee, and not to make any more troubles that will affect our activities of striving to create a national spiritual civilization demonstration zone. ”

Li Jiatao naturally immediately said: "Thank you secretary for your trust in me, and please rest assured that I will do my best to do a good job of political axe work and report to you at any time." ”

Ou Dongping nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, that's good." That's all for today, you can get back to work. ”

Li Jiatao originally wanted to learn something from Ou Dongping's mouth, but Wan Zhiqiang didn't say a word until now. Because of this, Li Jiatao felt more and more that the Dongping City Mansion in the district was very deep and thick, which made people have to be in awe.

When a person is connected to power, power becomes a symbol of thickness. The more powerful the person, the more thick and unfathomable it seems.

As soon as he got to work the next day, Wan Zhiqiang, the head of the district, called Li Jiatao over with a phone call.

When he came to the district mayor's office, Li Jiatao saw Wan Zhiqiang sitting on the mountain.

Looking at Wan Zhiqiang's temples revealing a layer of white stubble, and there was a tiredness on his face that could not be concealed, Li Jiatao felt a little more sympathy in his heart!

Wan Zhiqiang handed Li Jiatao a cigarette, lit one himself, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know about my study at the Provincial Party School?" ”

"The district secretary told me" Before this sentence could be exported, it was cut off by Li Jiatao! Li Jiatao suddenly came to his senses, saying this will make District Mayor Wan Zhiqiang have thoughts about himself!

"District Chief, I also just heard about it, is it going to be promoted again after coming back from this study?" Li Jiatao asked with a smile.

Wan Zhiqiang smiled bitterly: "What high ascension? As long as no one makes me stumble, I will burn high incense, and what will I exalt! ”

Li Jiatao understood as soon as he heard it, Wan Zhiqiang had something to say, and the place he was referring to must be Ou Dongping, secretary of the district party committee. The last time the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee came to inspect, Li Jiatao had already realized that Wan Zhiqiang was not Ou Dongping's opponent, but he didn't expect to see it so soon!

"The lesson is terrible." Li Jiatao sighed in his heart, "It was not someone else who defeated Wan Zhiqiang, but Wan Zhiqiang himself." ”

"When my ability has not yet reached the level of competing with others, I must not be impatient, and endure the magic weapon of sometimes defeating the enemy." Li Jiatao is also constantly warning himself in his heart.

"During my studies, you will be in charge of the work." Wan Zhiqiang said in a deep voice.

"Thank you for the trust of the district chief, I will do my best to do every job, if there is anything important that is difficult to decide, I will call you for instructions and report." Li Jiatao smiled slightly.

"No need, you can make your own decisions. If there is someone who can't be the master, ask the district party committee for instructions. Wan Zhiqiang waved his hand, "I am studying full-time this time, and I just happen to be at ease." ”

Li Jiatao wanted to say something, but he felt that everything was redundant and false. Li Jiatao felt from Wan Zhiqiang's tone that Wan Zhiqiang must know that this study was just a transition period, and after the transition period, it was possible to leave Yuhua District.
