Zhou Nan and Huang Yang took a black Santana in a black Santana in the special car of Li Kun, executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and set off for Ningshan County.

From Ningnan city to Ningshan County, there is only one secondary road built at the end of the 70s, which is also the only road leading to the outside world in Ningshan County.

The road is in disrepair and somewhat potholed. In addition, there are a lot of tractors and large trucks transporting stones on this road, so the road is dusty and stumbling, and it is not very easy to walk, and the 89-kilometer road actually took more than two hours.

Not far from Ningnan City, Zhou Nan's mobile phone signal has become intermittent and almost none, seeing Zhou Nan take out his mobile phone to constantly look at the signal, Li Kun smiled, "Comrade Xiao Zhou, Ningshan County is more remote, maybe the mobile phone signal can not be fully covered for the time being, I think, your mobile phone may not be able to use!" ”

Zhou Nan smiled, turned off the mobile phone and stuffed it into his bag, "If you can't use it, you can't use it, it's nothing, Minister Li." ”

This time he came to Ningnan to take office, Zhou Nan only brought some simple changes of clothes and the like, and he was going to take a look at the situation first. In fact, as a subordinate cadre, his food, housing and transportation will be arranged, and he does not need to bring too many things.

"Comrade Xiao Zhou, I still have to give you a preventive injection in advance, the conditions in Ningshan County are more difficult, you must be mentally prepared to endure hardships for a long time!" Li Kun glanced at Zhou Nan, who had a calm expression, and said lightly.

Li Kun has been the magistrate of Ningshan County, and he is very familiar with the situation in Ningshan, and as soon as this chatter box is opened, he can no longer contain it. Zhou Nan silently smiled and listened to Li Kun's all-round introduction to Ningshan County, and captured some valuable information for his work from Li Kun's words.

As he spoke, the car slowly drove into Ningshan County, the seat of the county party committee and county political axe - Ningshan Town, which is the place where Zhou Nan served this time.

This is a small county, two east-west and north-south roads run through the entire county, at the intersection of the two roads, there is a traffic booth, a lazy traffic police is wrapped in a cotton coat standing in the cold wind to direct the traffic, the action is very casual.

Most of the buildings on both sides of the road are old and low, and the tallest building is the Ningshan County Department Store, which seems to have six floors. From entering the county seat to arriving at the seat of the county party committee, it took less than ten minutes, which shows that the small size of this county is really beyond Zhou Nan's expectations.

The only thing that makes Zhou Nan feel good is the air and blue sky here. The air is incomparably fresh, and the mountain breeze is blowing in the face; And looking up is the clear blue sky, cloudless and blue sky, a round of red hanging overhead.

The county hall seems to be a product of the Cultural Revolution, and although the entrance is painted in new white paint, it is difficult to hide the revolutionary slogan of "Great Leap Forward" written in red paint.

Zhang Qiang, secretary of the Ningshan County Party Committee, and Sun Fuli, the county magistrate of Ningshan County, were already waiting at the door of the auditorium with a cadre of leaders in the county.

After a period of greetings, Zhang Qiang and Sun Fuli accompanied Li Kun, executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, to the front, while Zhou Nan and Huang Yang followed closely behind and followed up in the auditorium of the County Party Committee.

The county-wide cadre meeting was naturally held to welcome Zhou Nan, a poverty alleviation cadre sent by the provincial party committee, and the newly appointed member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and secretary of the Ningshan town party committee.

However, among the leaders in the county, only Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee, was greeted by Sun Botao, secretary of the municipal party committee, and he knew some of the specific conditions of Zhounan, while other county leaders were not very familiar with and understood Zhounan. And the news of Zhou Nan's arrival was only conveyed to the county yesterday.

In fact, many county party committee and county political leaders were very surprised and surprised by Zhou Nan's arrival. In their opinion, this kind of poverty alleviation cadre who came down from the province is nothing more than going down to gild and then going back, most of them are related households, and they should stay in the organs and units in the city, how can the municipal party committee arrange for him to take up a post in a place like Ningshan, which is so poor that scum, and information is blocked?

Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee, was quite enthusiastic, but Sun Fuli, the county magistrate, was a little smiling. It was only at the moment of shaking hands and greeting that Zhou Nan realized that the county magistrate Sun Fuli seemed to be a little "resistant" and repulsive to his arrival.

It stands to reason that this shouldn't be the case, when I first arrived, it was impossible to have any "holidays" with Sun Fuli, and the only explanation was...... Zhou Nan's heart flashed, and he was alert.

However, Zhou Nan didn't pay too much attention to it. The sinister career of officialdom is full of battles, and he is mentally prepared. Since you have embarked on such a path in life, you must have a corresponding awareness.

Several leaders came in, and all the cadres at or above the section level in Ningshan County stood up to welcome them, with thunderous applause. Zhou Nan followed Li Kun, Zhang Qiang and Sun Fuli to the rostrum with a smile and sat behind his own table.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. Next, I welcome Minister Li Kunli, Executive Deputy Director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, to announce the latest organizational appointments on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee. Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee, did not have too much politeness, and handed the somewhat shabby microphone to Li Kun with a simple opening remark.

Li Kun smiled and said loudly, "Comrades, entrusted by the leaders of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, I have come to Ningshan County to announce the decision on the appointment of cadres -- Comrade Zhou Nan is appointed as a member of the County Party Committee, a member of the Standing Committee, and the secretary of the Ningshan Town Party Committee. ”

"Comrade Zhou Nan is from Haidu, a coastal economically developed city, and is a top student of Guanghua School of Management of Jinghua University, with a strong party surname, a high level of political theory, and a fairly strong economic work experience...... He has successively served as the manager of Xinghai Company under Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation, the deputy director of the Administrative Management Office of Haicheng Construction Committee (at the department level), a member of the Party Committee and deputy general manager of Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation, and the general manager of Lanhai Energy Co., Ltd., a listed company......"

Li Kun gave a brief introduction to Zhou Nan's "officialdom resume", these service experiences are unremarkable, in this small county town with closed information, in fact, no one can "contact" Zhou Nan's true identity from Zhou Nan's career resume -- the only thing that surprised the section-level cadres present in Ningshan County was that the new Zhou Nan, a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, did not seem to be very old, but he had long been a deputy county-level cadre.

"Next, Comrade Zhou Nan would like to ask him to say a few words." Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee, took over the conversation and glanced at Zhou Nan, who was sitting next to the county magistrate Sun Fuli on the other side, with a smile.

Warm applause rang out, Zhou Nan slowly got up, smiled, and bowed to the audience to thank him.

………… Because of the youngest qualifications, Zhou Nan ranked last among the seven Standing Committee members of the county party committee.

The county's cadre meeting ended quickly, and Li Kun, executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and Huang Yang, chief of the First Section of the Cadres of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, were sent away, and Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee, immediately organized and convened the Standing Committee of the county party committee.

After the meeting, the seven members of the Standing Committee had dinner in the canteen of the county party committee at noon, which was regarded as a reception banquet for Zhou Nan. At the banquet, Zhou Nanyue clearly felt the unfriendly taste of the knife hidden in the smile of the county magistrate Sun Fuli.

This feeling made Zhou Nan frown secretly.

He wasn't afraid of anything, but he felt a little uncomfortable.

He is a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and the first batch of poverty alleviation cadres who were uniformly deployed by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and a cadre entrusted by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to Ningnan City.

After eating a meal, Zhou Nan quickly identified the "environment" he was in now - the secretary of the county party committee showed a moderate amount of kindness to him, and faintly made some kind of hints; Sun Fuli, the county magistrate, is extremely enthusiastic on the surface, but in fact he has a murderous intention; As for the other members of the Standing Committee, they held an attitude that they had nothing to do with themselves, and their attitude towards Zhou Nan was not friendly, and certainly not cold.

Zhang Qiang's kindness is understandable, and Zhou Nan is aware of it; But this Sun Fuli's rejection is a little inexplicable.

With a flash of thought, Zhou Nan decided his political direction in the shortest possible time: try to be friendly with Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee, and actively respond to the goodwill he revealed; For other members of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, moderate interactions, and find their own officialdom allies in slow contact; As for this inexplicable "enemy" Sun Fuli, he has to stay away.

………… At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Nan, accompanied by Ji Kai, member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and head of the organization department, took a dilapidated Santana to the party and government organs in Ningshan Town to take up his post.

In fact, the county party committee and county government axe are not far from the party and government organs of Ningshan Town, that is, the distance of about one kilometer. However, although the distance is not far, it is always impossible to let the newcomer Zhou Nan, a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, walk to Ningshan Town to take office, even if it is dozens of meters away, there must be an official car to take over, this is the rule, and it is also related to the dignity, authority and decency of the leader.

After all, in this backward and remote Ningshan County, Zhou Nan can be regarded as one of the leading figures and core leaders.

Zhou Nan and Ji drove out of the car. Ji Kai saw that Qiu Gang, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Ningshan Town, and three deputy mayors Ma Zhongling, Chen Jiangyu, and Li Peng, who greeted him at the gate of the compound of Ningshan Town, frowned and said, "Old Qiu, where is Mayor Sun?" ”

The Standing Committee of the county party committee and the secretary of the town party committee took office as a new officer, but the current mayor disappeared and did not come to greet him, which not only did not conform to the rules of officialdom, but also seemed a little weird.

Qiu Gang smiled awkwardly and said, "Minister Ji, Secretary Zhou, I'm sorry, Mayor Sun suddenly felt a little unwell, and temporarily rushed home to rest, let me ask Minister Ji and Secretary Zhou for a leave!" ”

Under the weather? Leave? What kind of? Ji Kai raised his eyebrows, as if he remembered something, so he didn't say anything with a gloomy face. Zhou Nan smiled faintly, but he didn't say anything.

"Okay, don't worry about him, let's go, go to the meeting room of the town organ, and then talk about it after the meeting first!" Ji Kai smiled at Zhou Nan, "Secretary Zhou, let's go!" ”
