Yu Dafeng went to the provincial capital for treatment, but he was really hospitalized and was not ready to come back.

The gossip in Luohu County also began to fly, some said that Yu Dafeng was forced away by Yu Qiulin, the secretary of the county party committee, and some said that Yu Dafeng suffered from an incurable disease...... Not long after, the people of Luohu County were shocked by another earth-shattering event, and they didn't have time to pay attention to the matter of Dafeng.

Li Jiatao didn't even have time to carry out an investigation into the unfortunate case suffered by Luo Ying, and transferred Li Jiatao to Luohu County, Xiaoxiang City, with a paper order.

At this time, Gou Tian, secretary of the municipal party committee of Xiaoxiang City, was talking to Li Jiatao.

Gou Tian's expression was very serious: "Comrade Jiatao, you know that Luohu County has the largest population in the city, and it is also the most backward. I have talked with several secretaries many times, and the senior secretary of the provincial party committee has personally mentioned you to me, and I feel that it is more appropriate for you to go. After so many years of reform and opening up, Luohu County's fiscal revenue is still more than 3 million, which is less than a village in the south, and its per capita GDP is less than a quarter of the national average. You also know that Yu Qiulin has been the secretary of the county party committee of Luohu County for many years, and half of the time is in the city, and the province is running money to pay salaries. It's smoking everywhere, and it's hard to return, and it's really hard for him. This time, the provincial party committee attaches great importance to it, and the municipal party committee has decided to transfer you to the post of deputy secretary and county magistrate, so that you and Comrade Yu Qiulin can work together to quickly change the backward situation in the local area and help us unload some of our burdens. ”

Looking at Gou Tian's eager eyes, Li Jiatao asked: "The municipal party committee has decided?" ”

"I just met the Standing Committee, and the Standing Committee entrusted me to talk to you." Gou Tian is still very serious, "The municipal party committee asks you, first, to strengthen the unity of the team, especially with Comrade Yu Qiulin, to form a joint force and reduce internal friction. Second, it is necessary to carry forward the spirit of hard work, open up to the outside world in a big way, make great leaps and bounds, and build an economic framework as soon as possible. 3. Lighten the peasants' burdens, increase the employment rate of laid-off workers, and maintain social stability. As for the specific work in the future, the municipal party committee still needs to make arrangements. You, do you have any requirements? ”

In fact, Li Jiatao has made meticulous preparations for a long time, and since receiving a call from Gao Dongyang, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, Li Jiatao has also been very clear about the situation in Luohu County: In traditional agricultural areas, there are many factions and the people are fierce. In ancient times, many peasants revolted, in modern times, bandits and inferior gentry were unearthed, and contemporary disputes were flying all over the sky.

In Xiaoxiang City, there are two sayings: east, west, north, south, middle, don't go to Luohu.

In the next period, no county magistrate can serve a full term in Luohu.

However, this is not the time to bargain.

"Please rest assured that I will obey the organization's decision: First, do a good job in the unity of the team, no matter what the situation, if the team is not united, the responsibility is in your hands. Second, we should make full use of the policy, expand opening up, and strive to make great changes in three years. Third, administering according to law to ensure social stability and economic development. ”

Li Jiatao saw that Gou Tian, secretary of the municipal party committee, had been nodding and smiling, so he hurriedly took advantage of the fire and said: "However, give me a month to go to Luohu to investigate thoroughly, and then put forward a comprehensive management plan, and the municipal party committee can give us special approval and give us some more preferential policies in Luohu County." ”

"I won't let you take advantage of it." Gou Tian said, "However, there are some things that are easy to discuss. ”

———— dividing line———— Fan Xiakai, director of the Luohu County Government Office, has been like an ant on a hot pot for the past two days, scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry, jumping up and down. He learned about the appointment of a new county magistrate by the city party committee the night before.

Fan Xiakai used the various relationships accumulated over the years to initially grasp Li Jiatao's characteristics: active thinking, advanced understanding, daring to act, vigorous and resolute, and not paying much attention to pomp and circumstance in life.

Even, which brand of cigarettes Li Jiatao likes, which brand of wine he likes to drink, etc., Fan Xiakai has made a summary.

Years of experience in the career have made Fan Xiakai understand that the responsibilities of the director of the county government office are to serve the staff, coordinate, upload and distribute, and most importantly, serve the leadership.

Yesterday morning, Fan Xiakai brought two boxes of Wuniang liquid and one box of Furong King to the provincial capital to meet Li Jiatao. Unexpectedly, Li Jiatao's mobile phone was turned off, and no one answered the phone at home. Fan Xiakai naturally knew that the new county magistrate had a lot of entertainment, but he wouldn't be unable to go home at night.

Fan Xiakai simply asked the driver to drive the car downstairs to Li Jiatao, and the surname Suo sat in the car and waited for the rabbit.

But when it was ten o'clock in the evening, Li Jiatao still didn't come back, and Fan Xiakai finally felt that he couldn't wait any longer.

In desperation, Fan Xiakai called Yu Qiulin, secretary of the county party committee: "Secretary, I am Fan Xiakai, I want to ask for instructions, tomorrow afternoon, the leaders of the municipal party committee will announce the appointment of the team, what instructions do you have?" ”

"The reception of the venue is arranged by the county party committee office, and you can find County Magistrate Li for other things." Yu Qiulin said lightly, and then hung up the phone.

Fan Xiakai felt that Yu Qiulin might know something, otherwise it wouldn't be this lukewarm tone, and hurriedly instructed the driver: "Don't wait, go back to Luohu overnight." ”

There was no way, in the car, Fan Xiakai called Yang Zhi, deputy director of the county government office: "You work hard, and the comrades of the secretarial department should prepare materials for the new county magistrate to express their stance at the meeting." ”

Yang Zhi is a young man in his early thirties, and when he received a call from the director, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's really hard." ”

However, in the final analysis, this material is within Yang Zhi's responsibility, and Yang Zhi can only call the chief of the secretarial section, put on a short coat, and walk towards the office.

In Luohu, it is still quite cold at night in the New Year. Yang Zhi shrunk his neck under the dim street lamp and walked slowly, his figure becoming shorter and longer for a while. Looking at the changes in his shadow, Yang Zhi couldn't help but sigh, life is also like this shadow, sometimes long, sometimes short. Life is just that.

Thinking about it, Yang Zhi had inadvertently arrived at the door of the office, and the chief of the secretary section and the two secretaries hurriedly stood up to say hello.

"Director Yang, in fact, you don't have to make a special trip here, we have a backup in our computer for this kind of speech, and when the time comes, you can modify it by pinching the head and tail, and just use a name."

It is true that the so-called official document writing is actually empty words and clichés, and it is "all work" to modify the time, place, and person, and moreover, there is no difference in the words on the scene.

Yang Zhi naturally understood this, but he came over for another purpose, to have a lively time in the office with a few of them and pass the loneliness.

These secretaries are doing their jobs beautifully, and they don't need Yang Zhi to interfere at all.

Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Hurry up, send it to my office when it's over." ”

After speaking, Yang Zhi walked into his office next door, poured a glass of water, picked up a book casually, and couldn't read it without turning two pages.

As a result, the old county party secretary went to the township to inspect the work, and it happened that the secretary and the township chief were not at home, so the county magistrate appointed him to report. Yang Zhi seized this opportunity, performed well, and was affirmed by the old secretary, so he climbed a step up and was transferred to the county government office. When the old secretary took a back seat, Yang Zhi finally became the deputy director of the office and married the old secretary's daughter at the same time.

That year, Yang Zhi was only twenty-five years old. He has been doing this for six years, but his position is still standing still, and he enjoys the treatment of the main department, but in fact he is only a deputy department!

Yang Zhi knew very well in his heart that his promotion was achieved by Lao Taishan, and he was also defeated by Lao Taishan, who did not offend a few people when he was in power? Now, his backer has stepped down, and it is impossible to continue to make progress in a straight line by elevator.

And the bigger problem is that the biggest opponent of the old secretary was Yu Qiulin, the current secretary of the Luohu County Party Committee, which is fatal!

Fortunately, Yang Zhi saw it, and he didn't think too much about it in his heart, and he didn't complain too much. Of course, there is a more important reason, that is, his family is indeed warm and happy, and it really comforts his irritability that his career is not going well.

Yang Zhi is very satisfied with his wife, she does not have the squeamishness of the cadres and children, she prepares the gifts for returning to her hometown during the New Year's holidays, and the monthly alimony is also sent to her family by her, and she also comes forward to solve the big and small difficulties at home.

Having such a wife is his blessing Yang Zhi.

Just thinking about it, the chief of the secretary section and the two secretaries took the materials, held the electric hot pot, and pushed the door with several generations of pork, vegetables, peanuts, and pig's head meat: "Director Yang, we are here to rub your good wine." ”

"Is it written?" Yang Zhi asked with a smile.

"Of course, I can't change a word of you." The section chief said with a smile.

"That's good, you guys are doing things, I'm at ease." Yang Zhi nodded.

As he spoke, several people worked together to turn the whole room into a hot pot restaurant, and after cleaning up, they opened their posture and prepared to eat.

Yang Zhi took out a few bottles of good wine from the cabinet in the office, took out a few boxes of good cigarettes from the desk drawer, and distributed them to everyone.

Nowadays, what leader's office does not have something that others respect. Everyone smiled tacitly and took it into their pockets.

After three rounds of drinking, the section chief asked Yang Zhi: "You said, will the new county magistrate follow our manuscript and read the course?" ”

Yang Zhi knew in his heart that the new county magistrate would definitely not be used, these people were all veterans who had been in the officialdom for many years, and it was not easy to make a few statements? Isn't it a mistake to follow the script?

However, Yang Zhi said: "Look at the question you asked, how can I know? I don't even know what the new county magistrate looks like, what do people have in their stomachs, can we hear it? And there are no downwind ears. ”

"Whatever, we drink our wine, it's true that my brothers drank it happily. However, there are no jokes on the wine table, but they don't set off the atmosphere. Come on, come, who's going to start first, tell a joke and listen to it? The section chief said.

Seeing that everyone was looking at themselves, the section chief grunted a glass of white wine, blushed and said, "Then I'll tell you a story about Tang Bohu first." ”

The section chief coughed a few times, tilted his head and squinted his eyes, and opened his posture to speak: "In other words, Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan are good friends, and Tang Bohu likes to talk to Zhu Zhishan very much about the story of pickled girls. Tang Bohu has eight wives, so because of pride, he often says that there is no woman in the world that he can't handle. Zhu Zhishan was skeptical, and he told Tang Bohu that there was a widow living in the back mountain, who had been widowed for many years, regarded chastity as life, and only raised a cat to depend on each other. If you can deal with this widow, then I wish Zhishan to throw himself to the ground for the five bodies that you admire. Tang Bohu thought about it, and asked Zhu Zhishan to come and listen to the news in a few days. Two days later, it began to rain heavily. In the middle of the night, Tang Bohu climbed up the back mountain, arrived at the widow's door, knocked on the door, and asked if he could let me take shelter from the rain. When the widow heard the voice of Tang Bohu, a genius in Jiangnan, she hurriedly opened the door and let him into the house. Tang Bohu entered the door, thanked him again and again, and then asked if he could take off his wet clothes. The widow saw that the clothes on his body were still dripping, so she helped Tang Bohu take off his clothes and put them on the kang to dry. This is, Tang Bohu asked again, sister-in-law, I'm thirsty, can you lend me the scoop and let me drink saliva. The widow hurriedly brought water to Tang Bohu. After Tang Bohu drank the water, he saw that it was very late, and said, "Sister-in-law, can I spend the night in the guest room." The widow thought about it, and when she saw that it was raining heavily outside the house, she led Tang Bohu to the guest room. Tang Bohu entered the guest room and fell asleep. At dawn the next day, Tang Bohu got up early, quietly entered the yard, and saw that the cat who was dependent on the widow was stretching in the yard, and hurriedly grabbed it, plucked a large piece of hair from the cat's body, and then went home without saying hello to the widow. A few days later, Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan were playing chess, and the widow broke in and scolded: Tang Bohu, Tang Bohu, you are a bastard! You are known as a Jiangnan literati, a generation of talents, but you have done such dirty things. That day, I saw that you were pitiful, and opened the door kindly to let you in, you let you shelter from the rain, I let you avoid the rain, if you want to undress, I will let you undress, if you want to scoop me, you want to spend the night, I will let you stay overnight. You say, why did you pluck my cat's hair when I was leaving? Zhu Zhishan was dumbfounded when he heard it on the side, and from then on, only Tang Bohu was the first to look at it, haha! ”

After listening to it, everyone thought that although this joke was vague, it was still colored to the extreme, and they couldn't help laughing and saying yes.

For a while, the atmosphere was very warm. A secretary who was sitting directly opposite the section chief was also suddenly interested and shouted: "I'll tell you a foreign phone call to help everyone have fun." One day, Clinton's wife, Hillary, saw God, and she found that there were many watches hanging in God's living room, and some of them went fast and some of them went slowly. Puzzled, she asked God's servant: Why do so many watches go differently? The servant replied that these watches represented human life, and that everyone in the world had one such watch. If he has a lot of affairs, his watch will go fast. If there is no affair, his watch will go slowly. After hearing this, Hillary looked around and asked, "Why is there no watch for my husband?" He is the president of our United States, and his table should be bigger and more prominent. Then the servant of God said, "Your husband's watch has been taken by God to his office and used as an electric fan." Hillary froze there. ”

After hearing this, everyone applauded. For a while, the atmosphere on the wine table reached a climax. Everyone, you have a joke, I have a joke, and I am very happy.

In the blink of an eye, a few bottles of wine bottomed out, and everyone was a little drunk. The section chief said, although I am also called the section chief, I am only a unit-level cadre, when will I be able to improve?

Yang Zhi also raised his head and sighed: "Progress, progress, how can there be no one who doesn't want to progress!" Where is the taste of being a grandson! When will I be able to boil it out, and when will I be able to see the sky? ”

Several people were drunk and lying in Yang Zhi's office, and none of them found out when Fan Xiakai, the director of the county government office, came in.

Fan Xiakai squinted his eyes and swept the scene in the room, snorted a few times with disdain in his nose, picked up the new county magistrate's statement on the table and left.

Fan Xiakai finally met the new county magistrate Li Jiatao at the house of the old secretary of Luohu County, the old secretary was already gray-haired, but he also asked his family to add two dishes and let Fan Xiakai and the driver sit down to eat together.

During the meal, Li Jiatao naturally asked about the cadres of the county government office. Fan Xiakai immediately made a detailed report, and in the process of reporting, from time to time, in an inconspicuous tone, interspersed with a lot of flattery to the new leader.

"The comrades in the office work very hard and are conscientious, but the cadre turnover in the office is too slow. Every time the county party committee office is adjusted, one or two secretaries and township heads can be produced. The county government office has not moved for several years, and the secretaries are resentful......"

Li Jiatao pondered for a moment, and said to Fan Xiakai very seriously: "I can understand the situation of the comrades and their desire to progress. In this way, you go back and give the secretaries an explanation, as long as you do a good job, I, Li Jiatao, will definitely be worthy of everyone. ”

When Fan Xiakai heard this, he couldn't hide his joy, and hurriedly thanked: "County Magistrate Li, you are famous in Chunan Province, we have been talking about it in the past few days, as soon as you are transferred, we will have hope in Luohu County, this is not flattering you, what I said is from my heart." ”

Li Jiatao nodded noncommittally, but looked at the old secretary: "Uncle Wei, I should leave, and I will come to visit you in two days." ”

Fan Xiakai didn't understand how Li Jiatao, the new county magistrate, got involved with the old secretary, and why there was no news about this in his information?

Fan Xiakai sat in the co-pilot's seat, Li Jiatao didn't speak, and he didn't dare to talk. After a while, I saw Li Jiatao observing outside the window, and then said: "County magistrate, I am about to enter the county seat, there is the Red River in our county, and the steaming water meets, just like the Han River and the Yangtze River in Wuhan, the water and land transportation is convenient, and it is known as Little Wuhan." ”

Li Jiatao pouted: "I have long heard people say, 'Luohu Street, two petals, there are a lot of cattle dealers'." ”

Fan Xiakai was a little unhappy when he heard this, where could the newly appointed parents and officials be so disrespectful and short? It's just that Fan Xiakai can't refute it, thinking to himself, this new county magistrate is open-mouthed, and he needs to be careful in the future.

After entering the county seat, the roads were potholed, people and vehicles were mixed, and although the driver kept honking his horn, the car still drove very slowly. Li Jiatao couldn't help frowning, what age is this, and the traffic in the small county town is actually chaotic like this?

From the old secretary, Li Jiatao heard that there are three major monsters in Luohu County: "Cars are not as fast as pedestrians, Moutai sells faster than oil, and most cadres have second children." ”

The latter two monsters don't know whether it's true or not, and this is as slow as a turtle crawling, which makes Li Jiatao feel angry in his heart.
