Chen Dong smiled faintly, "Lao Zhang, where did this news come from?" Reliable or unreliable......"

"I think it may not be a big surname, Comrade Zhou Nan has just been in the county for a short time, and he has just opened up the situation in Ningshan Town, so the city shouldn't just adjust him like this, right?"

"This market logistics project is led by him, and once he leaves, there is no guarantee that this project will have problems...... I think that even if the city wants to adjust his position, it will at least wait for the construction of this project! ”

"I heard that Zhou Nan has just won a part of the subsidy from Secretary Feng and Mayor Ma of the city, and is ready to build roads for the backing village...... Looking at his posture, it doesn't look like he's going to be transferred. ”

"Besides, Comrade Zhou Nan can come to work in the county political axe, which is a strengthening of the strength of our county political axe team, and we should be happy."

"Hypocritical guy, obviously very unhappy in his heart, but he still has to pretend to be like this." Zhang Dazhong pursed his lips and sneered, "Old Chen, this is hard to say...... I also heard that Comrade Zhou Nan has recently had close contacts with the leaders of the city, especially with Secretary Feng of the Municipal Party Committee......"

The corners of Chen Dong's mouth twitched inadvertently, but he smiled indifferently and didn't say anything more.

Chen Dong is different from Zhang Dazhong, his surname is deep, the city government is very deep, he only speaks three points when he sees people, his style is low-key, he never speaks to death, and he never offends people.

But it is often people like Chen Dong who are particularly sensitive to some things and take their power and position very seriously.

Don't look at what he says, in fact, there is already a big mustard in his heart. Zhou Nan, as a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, wants to come to the county government axe to serve as the deputy county magistrate, which clearly shows that he wants to fight for power with him, the executive deputy county magistrate - this kid is too deceitful!

Even if Chen Dong himself doesn't mind, others will think the same way.

And even if the outside world doesn't think so, the two Standing Committee members and deputy county magistrates working together naturally have room for power disputes.

Chen Dong didn't believe that the leaders above would not consider this problem - since this is the case, it can only show that Zhou Nan is going to take his position. If one doesn't do well, he will be transferred out of Ningshan at the same level and go to a Qingshui Yamen in the city to do a deputy position of clear soup and little water.

If that's the case, then it's miserable.

And this is not without precedent. And Chen Dong himself, in fact, was so high back then, he took the position of the former executive deputy county magistrate, and the latter was transferred to the vice chairman of the Ningnan City Federation of Social Sciences, although they are both deputy county level, but the executive deputy county magistrate and the vice chairman of the Federation of Social Sciences, the political status and power content are no less than the abyss.

Could it be that the reincarnation of fate is going to be reversed again, and it is going to be one's turn again?

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Dong's mood became very bad, and he couldn't help but have a strong resentment towards Zhou Nan in his heart.

Zhang Dazhong's fanning of the flames obviously had an effect, although Chen Dong did not show it on the surface, but Zhang Dazhong has been with his colleagues for so many years, and he knows Chen Dong too well about this surname that does not say what he says and holds a grudge in his heart.

Although Chen Dong is low-key, he is very vindictive.

Zhang Dazhong gloated and left, while Chen Dong looked at Zhang Dazhong's departing figure, couldn't help but sneer lowly, strode over, and closed his office door tightly at once, his face instantly gloomy.

Zhang Dazhong's intention to fan the flames, how could it be concealed from the scheming Chen Dong, but no matter what Zhang Dazhong's purpose was, what he said was always the truth - once Zhou Nan took office, his power and authority as the executive deputy county magistrate would be invisibly impacted.

Even, the worst result is that it won't be long before he will be kicked out of the power core of Ningshan County and become a victim of Zhou Nan's throne.

No, absolutely not like this, absolutely not to be a victim of someone else's upside down! Chen Dong gritted his teeth.

With a gloomy face, he muttered for a long time, and then grabbed the phone and made a call to a familiar leader in the city, and inquired from the side, and the results confirmed that there was indeed such a thing. Not long ago, when studying cadres, Secretary Feng of the municipal party committee mentioned the matter of Zhou Nan in the Standing Committee, and the other Standing Committee members did not raise objections.

Putting down the phone, Chen Dong's face became even more gloomy, and he could almost pinch out the water.

………… Zhou Nan would never have thought that such a gossip about his imminent promotion would set up a powerful enemy for him in the county - Chen Dong, the executive deputy county magistrate, is no better than Zhang Dazhong, this person is ruthless in the city government, and it is not a good thing to be "hated" by this person.

The next morning, Ma Zhongling took the application report on Ningshan Town's application for road repair subsidies and went to the county to find the county magistrate in charge to sign. Although the right to issue this subsidy lies with the city, and Mayor Ma Liguo also verbally agreed, the basic procedures still have to be followed.

The application should be reported to the county by the town, approved by the county and then reported to the city, approved by the city's leaders in charge, and then forwarded to the municipal transportation bureau, and then appropriated.

The process can be as long as it can be as short as a few days or as long as months or longer. With the efficiency of Ningnan officialdom, it is possible to drag on for half a year.

In charge of transportation is Chen Dong, the executive deputy county magistrate.

Chen Dong was reviewing some documents in the office when someone knocked on the door and said in a deep voice, "Come in." ”

Ma Zhongling pushed the door and walked in, and smiled respectfully, "County Magistrate Chen......"

Chen Dong glanced up at Ma Zhongling and smiled faintly, "Mayor Ma? Come, please be seated. Looking for me? ”

"County Magistrate Chen, the traffic repair subsidy that our town applied for from the city is the application report of our town...... Please approve it. "Ma Zhongling was ordered by Zhou Nan to run this procedure in person, and he asked for help, of course, his attitude was very respectful and respectful.

Chen Dong sighed, glanced at the application from Ningshan Town, and said with a faint smile, "Old Ma, although there is a road repair subsidy in the city, you also know that this thing is a lot of porridge and small porridge, and not anyone who submits the application can approve it and give money." ”

Ma Zhongling smiled respectfully, "County Magistrate Chen, Secretary Zhou has already won from Mayor Ma, and Mayor Ma nodded and agreed to allocate a part of the funds to us to support us in building roads, so ......"

Chen Dong looked up at Ma Zhongling, but the smile on his face dissipated little by little, "Secretary Zhou's energy is not small, he actually crossed the county and found the city leader directly...... In this case, what else to apply, just ask Mayor Ma for an instruction, and the Municipal Transportation Bureau will pay for it. ”

Chen Dong's attitude seemed a little abrupt.

It is said that Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee, has already approved the matter, so why should he, the executive deputy county magistrate, stand in the way, just sign the application report.

"County Magistrate Chen, although the leader agreed, the procedures that should be taken still have to be followed, hehe, please approve it." Ma Zhongling carefully observed Chen Dong's face and whispered.

Chen Dong suddenly pushed away the application in front of him, his voice was slightly cold, "Secretary Zhang has approved it, I don't have to sign it, you can take it directly to the Transportation Bureau and let the County Transportation Bureau handle it." ”

After speaking, Chen Dong handed the application to Ma Zhongling, buried himself in the documents in hand, and never bothered with Ma Zhongling again.

Ma Zhongling stood there embarrassed, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He hesitated for a few minutes, but quietly left.

He understood what the problem was - the secretary of the county party committee had already given instructions on the application of Ningshan Town, which obviously made Chen Dong taste.

Since the secretary of the county party committee has approved it, why do you still come to me, the leader in charge? Is this trying to use the secretary of the county party committee to pressure me, the executive deputy county magistrate?

Ma Zhongling sighed. When he came, he felt that something was wrong, for fear that Chen Dong would pick on him. In fact, this kind of application does not need the approval of the secretary of the county party committee, and must be signed by the county magistrate in charge. But when Zhou Nan handed over the application to him, Zhang Qiang had already signed it, and he had no choice.

According to the procedure, if Chen Dong does not sign, the county transportation bureau will not accept it, and if the county transportation bureau does not go through the formalities, the application cannot be reported to the city.

Ma Zhongling returned to the town with the application depressed and hurriedly went to Zhou Nan's office. Seeing that Zhang Zhijun was discussing something with Zhou Nan, he knocked on the door and walked in.

"Secretary Zhou."

Zhou Nan looked up at Ma Zhongling and smiled slightly, "Old Ma, are you back?" Have you completed the formalities? ”

Ma Zhongling smiled bitterly and handed over the application in his hand, and said softly, "Secretary Zhou, County Magistrate Chen doesn't sign...... He said that since Secretary Zhang signed it, he didn't need to sign it again, and asked me to go directly to the county transportation bureau to handle it. But without the signature of him, the leader in charge, the Transportation Bureau would not dare to accept it for us......"

Zhou Nan was stunned, and his face was a little unpleasant.

He felt a little strange, how could Chen Dong be like this?

Because this application for the subsidy is a special approval fund that he requested from the city leaders, it is not a normal application path, so it must be signed by the secretary of the county party committee to confirm that the situation is true, and then go through the basic procedures. It stands to reason that Chen Dong would not fail to understand this, why did he refuse to sign?

Tasted? Don't think you have communicated with him in advance? Is it interesting to play this senseless bureaucracy?

Zhou Nan was very unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He groaned for a moment and said lightly, "I'll look for County Magistrate Chen, and report to let me here first." ”

………… Four days later, the county party committee convened a standing committee. This time, the Standing Committee did not have a clear agenda for the meeting, but made routine arrangements for the Standing Committee to make arrangements for its work in the second half of the year. Each member of the Standing Committee reported on the work according to the level and ranking, and Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee, made a concluding speech.

"Comrades, this year is a crucial year for us in Ningshan County to promote economic development...... Our county has a new market logistics project, next, the city-led garment industrial park project will also be placed in our Ningshan, it is estimated that the construction will start at the end of this month......"

At the same time, Comrade Zhou Nan also negotiated an ecological agriculture project with the people of Sky Group...... Comrade Zhou Nan, you should get a good grasp of the matter of applying for transportation subsidies from the city, and as soon as the city's funds are in place, the county will allocate you another dollar, which should be enough. We will strive to start building the road in early September, and by the end of the year, this ecological agriculture project will enter the operational stage of the real surname. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Qiang paused slightly, because when he saw Zhou Nan's demeanor, he seemed to have something to say.

During the meeting, Zhou Nan's face was very cold, which showed that he was in a bad mood.

He made a phone call to Chen Dong that day, but Chen Dong did not directly refuse. So Ma Zhongling went to Chen Dong again, but Chen Dong left the application this time, but did not sign it immediately, saying that it would be postponed for two days first.

As a result, after waiting for several days, the county transportation bureau did not receive the application from Ningshan Town, which was approved by Chen Dong. Ma Zhongling was so anxious that he didn't dare to urge Chen Dong, so he could only report to Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan came to the Standing Committee of the county party committee today, and before the meeting, he looked for Chen Dong alone, and Chen Dong had an official call with him, saying that he had been too busy to take care of this matter recently.

When Zhou Nan heard this, he knew that Chen Dong was determined to make things difficult.

But although he was angry in his heart, at this time, he couldn't have a seizure, let alone fall out with Chen Dong, the executive deputy county magistrate.

The city had already talked to him, and the organizational appointment of nominating him as the deputy county magistrate of Ningshan County would soon come down in another month at most, and if Zhou Nan had a "disagreement" with the important leaders of the county at this time, although it would not affect the appointment, it would also have a bad negative impact on him.

Behind his back, people will say that he is too carried away and does not take the county leaders seriously. In Ningshan County, his bad relationship with Sun Fuli and Zhang Dazhong is a matter on the table, and once he has another bad relationship with Chen Dong, it will not be conducive to his future foothold in the officialdom of Ningshan County.

Moreover, Chen Dong will be reappointed as the deputy secretary of the county party committee in the next step, which can be regarded as an important position of power, and there is no need to make the relationship with Chen Dong too stiff because of such a trivial matter.

Based on various considerations, Zhou Nan chose not to clash head-on with Chen Dong, and to retreat as advance, so as not to make too many enemies in Ningshan.

Seeing Zhang Qiang looking at him, Zhou Nan's cold face "thawed" in an instant, and a calm smile slowly floated. Chen Dong, who was sitting opposite him and had been secretly observing the changes in his expression, felt very surprised in his heart.

Suppressing Ningshan Town's application and refusing to sign, Chen Dong was by no means eating Zhang Qiang's taste, but a kind of trick of Chen Dong. In other words, this is a trap and trap he set for Zhou Nan, trying to make Zhou Nan jump in by himself.

He wished that Zhou Nan would turn his face with him and make trouble with him, once Zhou Nan did this, he would cause the invisible rejection of other county leaders, and might even make the upper authorities disgusted.

But Zhou Nan didn't fall into his trap, and behaved very calmly. This made Chen Dong surprised and felt a little disappointed, and at the same time had a trace of more vigilance towards Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan's city government and calm heart surname, which were extremely inconsistent with his age, made Chen Dong feel for the first time that he was not simple, and he was not as young and aggressive as rumored.

"Secretary Zhou, although the city leaders have expressed their stance and agreed to allocate a sum of funds to us, after all, we have to go through formalities and procedures, which will take time, and it may not be approved in a short time." Zhou Nan smiled lightly, "Therefore, I think that the county's funds should be in place first, and this road can be repaired first, and while the road is being repaired, we will wait for the city's appropriation." ”

"I communicated with Mr. Zhang of the Sky Group, and they agreed to help us advance the road repair funds when necessary, and then return them as long as the money from the city arrives."

"It's been a good year...... The sooner the project is completed, the sooner the benefits will be seen, instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to work in waiting......" Zhou Nan smiled and waved his hand, "This is my idea." ”

Zhang Qiang nodded and said loudly, "Well, that's how it should be." I think so, the city's funds should go through the procedure to apply, the county will allocate a part of the funds first, and you will start building the road first! Sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter! ”

After speaking, Zhang Qiang turned his head to look at Chen Dong, and said with a faint smile, "Lao Chen, you can implement this matter and transfer the county's funds as soon as possible, the sooner the better!" ”

Chen Dong's eyebrows raised, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly inadvertently, but in front of everyone, he didn't dare to refute the face of the county party secretary in person, so he could only nod and agree.

It's just that it's hard to say how long it will take for him to "implement".

After the meeting, Zhang Qiang left Zhou Nan alone, and the two went to Zhang Qiang's office side by side. When Chen Dong walked out of the conference room, he swept the backs of the two of them in the corridor, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

Walking into Zhang Qiang's office, the two sat on the sofa facing each other, Zhang Qiang glanced at Zhou Nan, and couldn't help but smile, "Comrade Zhou Nan, it seems to be very calm recently...... This is a bit inconsistent with your previous vigorous style. ”

Zhou Nan smiled slightly, knowing in his heart that Chen Dong's reaction would definitely not be able to hide the eyes of Zhang Qiang, an old fox.

Why is Chen Dong so "awkward", Zhang Qiang is actually like a mirror in his heart. But as the secretary of the county party committee, he can't interfere too much in this kind of thing. He originally wanted to be a firefighter in the past when Zhou Nan and Chen Dong were too fierce, but he didn't think that Zhou Nan didn't give him this opportunity.

"Hehe, I'm not in a hurry, some things still have to be done slowly. Our application is still being approved by the county magistrate Chen, and it is estimated that it will take some time to report to the city, so let's build this road first, and it is not a way to blindly wait. Thank you Secretary Zhang for your support. ”

Zhang Qiang pondered thoughtfully, smiled playfully, and nodded, "Well, Comrade Zhou Nan, we should do things like this, we must not only act vigorously and resolutely, but also take the overall situation into account...... Wait a few more days, and in two days your appointment may be down. ”

Zhou Nan's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Zhang Qiang's hint.

………… Back in the town, Zhou Nan called Ma Zhongling over with a phone call.

"Secretary Zhou." Ma Zhongling walked in with a smile and sat on Zhou Nan's sofa.

"Lao Ma, I reported to Secretary Zhang, and it's not a way for us to blindly wait like this...... In this way, you immediately go to organize the construction team, drive into the site first, and build the road first. You find the county construction company and let them do it. Zhou Nan didn't talk nonsense, and directly arranged the work.

Ma Zhong sat up from the sofa all of a sudden, hesitated and said in a low voice, "Secretary Zhou, start repairing before the funds are in place?" This ......"

"There is certainly no problem with funding. It's just going to drag on for a while...... Okay, the county will allocate a part of the funds first, you tell the leaders of the Jian'an company, the road is repaired first, as for the project money, we will not lose a penny of their money! ”

Ma Zhongling sighed, although he still had some "questions" in his heart, but he didn't say anything more, but left Zhou Nan's office directly and called the construction team of Jian'an Company.
