Chapter 202: Killing Monkeys and Chickens
"If you must ask like this, then I can answer you because I am a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and the secretary of the town party committee! Why, are you still satisfied with this answer? β
Zhou Nan's sentence is so understated, so high-minded, although there is no fireworks, but the words are full of invisible superiority.
Just as Zhou Nan said, whether Sun Wenge admits it or not, whether he is convinced or not, Zhou Nan is here -- he is a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and secretary of the town party committee, and he is far superior to him in terms of administrative level and political status, and he is his top boss.
The so-called officials crush people to death, leaders are leaders, power represents everything, what is the use of not being convinced?
Originally, Sun Wenge thought that with his foundation of painstaking operation in Ningshan Town for many years, and with Sun Fuli, the county magistrate behind him, Zhou Nan, a young outsider who could only "bow down", would sooner or later become a power prop and political puppet at his disposal.
This mentality of his cannot be considered wrong, but it must be arrogant.
What he didn't expect was that Zhou Nan was not an ordinary young cadre, not Liu Adou who could be allowed to knead the plasticine at the beginning, let alone Liu Adou, who couldn't be helped, but a hard bone. With his little Sun Wenge, he didn't have the appetite to eat Zhou Nan at all.
But when Sun Wenge realized this later, it was too late to regret it, he had already had a stalemate with Zhou Nan, almost became a mortal enemy, and there was no room for maneuver.
Sun Wenge's face turned red, and he said gloomily in annoyance, "Secretary Zhou is really a big man!" I know you are a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and the secretary of the town party committee, but so what? This Ningshan Town is not your Ningshan Town alone, and I, the mayor of the town, are also a first-level political axe leader, so I can't use the town's car? Do you still need to report to Secretary Zhou's three instructions? β
"This is Ningshan Town, not a provincial party committee. I advise Secretary Zhou to be calmer and play with official authority, which is suitable for the organs, not for our grassroots. Hurry up and put away your set, don't eat this set here! β
Sun Wenge was "reprimanded" by Zhou Nan in front of Zhang Zhijun and others in the Party and Government Office, and felt that he couldn't save face; At the same time, he was also very angry, just because you are a young cadre who doesn't know anything, what qualifications do you have to shout in front of Lao Tzu?
Zhang Zhijun and the others stood on one side in silence, bowing their heads and pleasing to the eyes, not daring to let go of a fart, for fear that it would cause a "backlash" from the two, and thus become the victims and punching bags of the two of them for their anger catharsis.
These people in the party and government office didn't expect that this gentle-looking Secretary Zhou would be so strong, and he would speak sharply, and he would not save Sun Wenge any face. In their impression, this is the first time Sun Wenge has eaten "dried noodles" in the town.
At the same time, the two party and government officials in the town sang a duet in front of each other, which means that the contradictions have become public, and it also means that the young secretary of the town party committee has begun to stand up for himself.
Today's "face-to-face confrontation", in fact, in a sense, why not show it to them?
Everyone is killing chickens and monkeys, but the new Secretary Zhou is clearly killing monkeys and chickens...... As he started, he pinched the throat of Sun Wenge, the overlord monkey, without hesitation - "Which one of my sets?" Which one is this? Well? Tell me about it! Zhou Nan waved his hand disappreciatively, "Although Ningshan Town is small and poor, it is also a first-level party committee and political axe, and the party and government organs should have the appearance of party and government organs...... Leaders should set an example and take the lead in abiding by party discipline and state law. The subordinate obeys the superior, and the individual obeys the organization...... As a party member and cadre, don't you understand the minimum organizational principles? β
"I think there is a kind of crooked atmosphere in the town, which is very improper! As you just said, this is a grassroots political axe, not anyone's world, and you can't do whatever you want. I don't believe in this evil, I have to correct this crooked trend! β
Speaking of this, Zhou Nan smiled coldly, "I am the number one leader and the squad leader, since the organization puts me in this position, then I will be responsible for the work of the whole town, and be responsible for the cadres and masses of the whole town!" β
"From today onwards, all town leaders, including me, including Mayor Sun, -- from now on, any leader in the town must fill out a dispatch form from the party and government office to use a car, and no one is allowed to use the bus for private use without proper official business!"
"Zhang Zhijun, you remember, in the future, without the double signature of me and you, the town's car is not allowed to drive half a step out of the town's axe compound! The party committee will be convened at a time, and you will notify other leaders to go to my office for a meeting. β
Zhang Zhijun's heart trembled, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Okay, Secretary Zhou, I know, I'll give you a notice right away." β
Zhou Nan brushed his sleeves away, and Sun Wenge stood there in shame, so angry that he couldn't say a word.
β¦β¦β¦β¦ Ten minutes later.
All the members of the political axe team of the town party committee gathered in Zhou Nan's office, but there was no trace of Sun Wenge. Zhang Zhijun, who was listening to the minutes of the meeting, was nervous, and kept carefully observing Zhou Nan's face.
Zhou Nan sat behind the desk with a calm face, looked around at everyone, and said lightly, "Zhang Zhijun, where is Mayor Sun?" You go and call him, come to the meeting! β
Zhang Zhijun was greatly embarrassed, stood up and said in a low voice, "Secretary Zhou, Mayor Sun just now I saw that I left the political axe compound......
"Gone?" Zhou Nan smiled coldly, "Then leave him alone." It's going to rain, I'm going to get married, let him goβall right, comrades, we're going to meet now. β
Qiu Gang and Ma Zhongling secretly exchanged an excited look, the stronger and more energetic the newcomer Zhou Nan, the happier they were, because they hated Zhou Nan to completely suppress Sun Wenge; For the deputy mayors Chen Jiangyu and Li Peng, Zhou Nan had the upper hand in the "collision" with Sun Wenge, which has faintly indicated that the era of Sun Wenge in Ningshan Town has completely become a thing of the past.
Although the two have always been Sun Wenge's hardcore henchmen, in the face of the new situation, as grassroots cadres, they can only see the wind and change the rudder.
Li Peng cast a knowing glance at Chen Jiangyu, and when the two of them met their eyes, they both read the taste of "abandoning Sun Wenge" from each other's eyes, but their hearts were inexplicably relieved.
Zhou Nan has sent them some kind of hint signal in the past two days, and the two of them can understand it. It's only now that the two of them really make up their minds.
Zhou Nan waved his hand and said, "I've been in the town for a while, and the reason why I haven't called everyone to a meeting is because I feel that there is no right to speak without research, so I have been in the town recently to investigate and familiarize myself with the situation." β
"After investigation and familiarization with the situation, I have a lot of feelings, which can be summed up in these three points. First, the problem of the work style of the organs is very serious. Specifically, the work efficiency is not high, people are superficial, the mental state is low, and the atmosphere of eating, drinking, and ganging is spreading...... In the next step, it is necessary to rectify the work style of the organs, and Secretary Qiu should pay more attention to this work. β
"We are grassroots party committees and political axes, not self-employed people who open small workshops, let alone hooligans, cadres must have the appearance of cadres, and the style of work must be changed, and there is no room for bargaining." Zhou Nan said and looked at Qiu Gang, deputy secretary of the town party committee.
Qiu Gang hurriedly said respectfully, "Okay, Secretary Zhou, I'm responsible for catching this matter." The style of the organ is a bit exaggerated, and it's time to put a brake on all kinds of unhealthy tendencies! β
Zhou Nan nodded, and then continued.
"Second, the system is not sound and the management is not standardized. For example, if the government uses the car, there should be a strict management system for the use of the car, who wants to use the car, the office needs to send the car, what official car, how much the cost, how much mileage, must have a record and signature, how can the leader casually take the car out with a word? β
"Also, although I didn't look into it carefully, I found that there was a big problem with our town's financial system. The reimbursement approval system and financial management system are in vain, and individual leaders spend money with their left hand and sign with their right hand, and take money directly from the finance when they are finished, how can this work? β
"I've heard that our town owes a lot of foreign debt...... Even, I heard that the annual cost of tobacco, alcohol, food and drink for the town cadres alone is as high as hundreds of thousands? β
As soon as Zhou Nan said this, the faces of several town leaders turned red, and the cadres of Ningshan Town ate and drank and signed orders everywhere in the small restaurants outside, which is an obvious fact, that is, they are the leaders of these people, and they can't avoid it if they want to.
Fortunately, Zhou Nan didn't dwell on this issue, he immediately waved his hand again and said lightly, "I don't care what happened before; But in the future, I hope that the comrades here will lead by example with me...... Comrades, we are party members and leading cadres, and we use public funds to eat and drink lavishly every day under the noses of the masses in the towns, not only losing our own people, but also ruining the image of the party and the political axe. β
"This is a serious issue, and I hope everyone will pay attention to it." Zhou Nan said in a deep voice, "In the future, the town can invest a little more money to make the canteen better, and if the comrades want to improve the food, they can solve it in the canteen." Mayor Ma, after you go down, you can communicate with the relevant departments of the county to see in what name you can give a little lunch subsidy to the cadres in the town, after all, our grassroots cadres have a lot of work and difficult conditions...... Of course, I'm just a suggestion, I don't know if it's feasible or not, and it depends on whether it's against the system......"
Ma Zhongling smiled and said, "Secretary Zhou, it should be fine." Because we have transportation and lunch subsidies, but the county is financially tight, and we have been asking the townships to solve it on their own, but the towns also have limited financial resources, so it has not been put in place......"
You can't get money to give subsidies to everyone, and you cadres will have money to eat and drink everywhere? Zhou Nan secretly sneered in his heart, but his face did not show it, "Then find a way to solve it." β
"Third, the issue of economic development and leading the masses to make a fortune. Ningshan County is a poor county, and our Ningshan Town is also a poor town. If it weren't for the fact that it is a central town, the county government is stationed, it is stained with the light of the county, and the industry and commerce are not satisfactory, I think that our Ningshan Town is really going to be poor and white. β
"It's not going to work. We must find ways to develop the economy and lead the masses to make a fortune. β
"Which way to go? Recently, I have been thinking about it, and I hope that after you go down, you will also reflect on it, everyone is an old comrade in the town, and they are more familiar with the situation in the town than I am...... At the next meeting, everyone will come up with an idea, and we will brainstorm to the greatest extent possible to find a feasible way out for Ningshan Town. β
When Zhou Nan presided over the party committee, Sun Wenge returned to his house angrily, his wife Zhao Hong is an ordinary cadre of the town's agricultural technology station, and heard that Sun Wenge was "getted" by the new town party secretary Zhou Nan, Zhao Hong also felt that his face was gloomy, and he couldn't take care of the work at hand, so he hurriedly ran home.
When he entered the door, he saw Sun Wenge sitting on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed and smoking a cigarette, Zhao Hong couldn't help but sneer, "Aren't you usually very powerful, why did you become a turtle with a shrunken head at this time?" was humiliated in public, and he didn't dare to put a fart, this is what your mayor Sun Da is capable of? β
In the past, Sun Wenge covered the sky in the town, and correspondingly, his wife Zhao Hong had a high status in the town and was full of spirit. But just now, Zhao Hong clearly saw a certain kind of ridicule and a taste of falling into the well from the face of her colleague, and she couldn't help but feel very "contrasting" in her heart, and when she saw Sun Wenge, she subconsciously muttered.
Sun Wenge was already holding back a fire in his heart, and he was thinking about how to launch a counterattack against Zhou Nan, regain the lost face, and stabilize his position at the same time.
Suddenly, Zhao Hong yelled at him, kicked the coffee table in front of him angrily, got up and roared angrily, "Shameless stinky woman, do you want to die?" Are you also going to fall into the well with Lao Tzu? I don't care about you! β
"Who are you scolding? Who are you scolding? You don't have the ability outside, but you have the ability to go home and scold your wife......" Zhao Hong is not a good stubble, so he rushed over without the slightest fear and fought with Sun Wenge.
"Scolded...... next door" Sun Wenge felt this anger and grievance in his heart, and struggled to knock Zhao Hong to the ground, and then ignored Zhao Hong's crying and shouting, tears and snot flowed together, stomped his feet, and went out.
β¦β¦β¦β¦ The night is low, and although the land in Ningshan County in March is springing, the weather is still a little cold. Sun Wenge was drinking alone in a small restaurant, and after a while, Zhao Ting, the driver of the original town, walked in with a respectful expression and said in a low voice, "Mayor of the town, are you looking for me?" β
Sun Wenge glanced at Zhao Ting, suppressed the anger in his heart, and comforted him, "Xiao Zhao, don't be too careful, your work is fine, as long as I, Sun Wenge, am still the mayor of this town, you can stay in the town." Don't worry, it's a big deal I'll arrange you to go to the industrial and commercial office. β
"Thank you, leader, thank you, mayor." Zhao Ting was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked over to pour wine for Sun Wenge.
Sun Wenge sighed and said with a sense of wine, "The new Secretary Zhou came to me, but he inadvertently implicated you, so I can't stand you...... Don't worry, my Sun Wenge is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, you have been with me for so long, I will give you an explanation! β
Zhao Ting was moved for a while, and his voice choked up, "Mayor Town, I'm fine, it's you ......"
Sun Wenge glanced at Zhao Ting, and suddenly sneered, "I'm fine." A stunned blue, can't toss much movement! In this Ningshan County, he is not the only one who wants to move my Sun Cultural Revolution, but Lao Tzu is still safe and stable, just by him? Count the birds! β
"If you must ask like this, then I can answer you because I am a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and the secretary of the town party committee! Why, are you still satisfied with this answer? Speaking of this, Sun Wenge's ears suddenly echoed Zhou Nan's lofty words, gritted his teeth hatefully, clenched the wine glass tightly with his hand, and his face became extremely hideous.
"Scolding the guy next door, he's a bird!" Sun Wenge gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, then waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Xiao Zhao, I'm waiting here, you go and find Chen Jiangyu and Li Peng for me, just say that I invite the two of them to drink." β
"Good. I'll go right away. Zhao Ting turned around and left. As Sun Wenge's henchman, Zhao Ting naturally knew that Sun Wenge was now going to gather his hardcore subordinates and prepare to study how to launch a counterattack against Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan is not familiar with the place and came to work in Ningshan Town alone, how can he fight against Sun Wenge, a local snake with a backer? This is Zhao Ting's logic.
But not long after, Zhao Ting came back in disgrace.
"Mayor Chen, Mayor Chen, and Mayor Li all shirked and said that there was something at home and ......they couldn't come," Zhao Ting glanced at Sun Wenge with some disappointment and said softly.
"Fart! These dogs look down on people and dog things...... Shameless ......" Sun Wenge was furious when he heard this, and slammed the table, and the wine glasses and rice dishes on the table almost fell to the ground.
Sun Wenge stood there and roared, the owner of the shop knew that he was the mayor of the town, Sun Wenge, and did not dare to come over to persuade him, while Zhao Ting stood there a little depressed, and did not know how to persuade Sun Wenge.
Sun Wenge's face was gloomy, and he slowly sat back. He is not a fool, how can he not understand at this moment that Chen Jiangyu and Li Peng have obviously abandoned him Sun Wenge and thrown themselves into the arms of Zhou Nan!
A flame of betrayal burned all over him, almost burning his body to ashes.
Sun Wenge sneered and stumbled out of the small restaurant and rushed into the dark night, and Zhao Ting, a desperate follower, had no choice but to chase after him depressedly.
β¦β¦β¦β¦ No one expected that Sun Wenge would come to work as if nothing had happened the next morning. His expression was calm, his shelf was upright, and his steps were steady, just like in the past.
It was only when he turned up the stairs and entered the office in a big way that several ordinary cadres got together and talked in a low voice.
Song Xiaolin was carrying a mop, and had just cleaned up Zhou Nan from Zhou Nan's office, when she suddenly looked up and saw Sun Wenge, hesitated slightly, and greeted gently, "Mayor Sun!" β
