It is also very strange to say that when he was about to get off work the next day, Wang Zhiyuan received a call from Ouyang Qiang, secretary of the municipal party committee.

After Wang Zhiyuan heard the phone ringing, he didn't expect that it would be Ouyang Qiang calling, and after he connected, he said "hey", only to know that the other party was Ouyang Qiang.

"Director Wang, are you free now?" Ouyang Qiang's faint tone made Wang Zhiyuan's heart tense and stood up solemnly, although Wang Zhiyuan was alone in the office, Ouyang Qiang could not have clairvoyance.

Wang Zhiyuan subconsciously replied: "Good secretary, free, free." ”

"Then you come to my office." Ouyang Qiang said.

"Good, good, good." Wang Zhiyuan said continuously.

As soon as Wang Zhiyuan's words were finished, the phone was cut off, and he was still holding the microphone tightly, only feeling the heat wave rolling over his heart, and he didn't know whether he was sad or happy in his heart!

Putting down the phone, he immediately went downstairs, his heart still pounding. Wang Zhiyuan knew that the moment to decide his fate had come, recalling the phone call just now, he couldn't judge Ouyang Qiang's tendency, but he had a hunch that Ouyang Qiang must have seen the money he sent, so he asked him to go to the land.

Wang Zhiyuan really didn't have a bottom in his heart, thought about it, strode back to the office, and took out a black plastic bag containing 200,000 yuan from the drawer, which he had prepared early in the morning, and was going to go to the house of Ouyang Qiang, the secretary of the municipal party committee, after work.

In this mood of suffering from gains and losses, Wang Zhiyuan came to the municipal party committee building.

Generally speaking, going to the political axe is to report work, and going to the municipal party committee is to report on personnel. Wang Zhiyuan is the director of the municipal government office, so he is relatively more. Every time he came to the compound of the municipal party committee and looked up at the high-rise buildings, Wang Zhiyuan felt very small!

Here, when he sees every leader who is older than himself, he nods his head and bows, and when he sees an official who is younger than himself, he also greets him with a smile, because they are the people around the leader, and saying a good word will make you leave a good impression in the leader's heart. Saying a few bad words will also make the leader plant a bad impression of you in his heart.

went upstairs and came to the door of the office of the secretary of the municipal party committee, Wang Zhiyuan became more and more nervous, and after taking a deep breath, he knocked lightly on the door.

Hearing the sound of "come in" inside, he gently pushed the door open, and after entering, he smiled and nodded to Ouyang Qiang, then turned around and closed the door.

Ouyang Qiang didn't know what he was busy with, so he didn't raise his head, but just said to him: "Sit." ”

"Good secretary." Wang Zhiyuan shouted timidly, sat down on the chair opposite Ouyang Qiang's desk, and waited for Ouyang Qiang to speak. He knew that as soon as the big man on the other side opened his mouth, he could decide his future fate.

If the big man reuses you, you are a thousand miles away. If the big man doesn't use you, you're a donkey with his head off.

Ouyang Qiang's appearance is nothing special at all, with a square face, a big head, thick lips, sparse hair, and a big back combed back. If he stepped down from the position of secretary of the municipal party committee and blended into the crowd, he would definitely not see what he was capable of.

In fact, Ouyang Qiang's ability is not to mix in with the general population, but to sit in the position of secretary of the municipal party committee.

Ouyang Qiang finally coughed, raised his head from the desk, and said in a deep voice: "Zhiyuan, I don't know how to say hello to you......"

As he spoke, Ouyang Qiang stood up, took the plastic bag given to him by Wang Zhiyuan from the cabinet next to him, put it in front of him and said, "I won't hand it over to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, you might as well bring it back yourself." ”

Wang Zhiyuan seemed to feel that his face had been torn apart, and he was on fire all of a sudden, although he had been mentally prepared in this regard, he still didn't expect that the result would be like this!

"Secretary, I don't mean anything else, I heard that your son is studying in the capital and is about to graduate, which is also a little bit of my heart. The cost in the capital is too high, and the house is so expensive, I just have a little heart......" Wang Zhiyuan said in a trembling voice.

"Zhiyuan, I can understand your intentions, but I can't accept your gift. The family has 10,000 loads of grain, and can only eat three meals a day. There are thousands of rooms in the house, and you can only sleep in one room at a time. The more ill-gotten gains are left to children, the more corrosive they will be. This is definitely not official words, but heart-wrenching words. Today, you gave me so much money to achieve your purpose, and tomorrow, you will have to find a way to get so much money from other places. If you can't get it, why should you send it? Besides, the secretary of the municipal party committee is not me, it's someone else, do you send it? I think you'll send it anyway. To put it bluntly, you didn't give it to me, but to the secretary of the municipal party committee. Therefore, this involves the issue of building a clean and honest government, and also involves the issue of preventing [***]. Every day, we talk about fighting corruption and advocating honesty and serving the people honestly. However, if we say one thing in words and another in deeds, how can such party members and cadres win the trust of the people? How can we properly use the power in our hands? Zhiyuan, it is impossible for people to bring money to the grave, but money can bring people to the grave. I still say that you must cherish the power in our hands, because it is handed over to you by the party and the people. Ouyang Qiang said bitterly, his face full of sincerity!

Wang Zhiyuan felt that the more he listened, the more he felt that the matter was serious, if Ouyang Qiang really took the knife himself, what should he do?

If that is the case, Wang Zhiyuan will not only not be able to be the secretary of the county party committee of Xiaolei County, but he will also lose his position as director of the city government office. Thinking of this, Wang Zhiyuan couldn't help but sweat profusely.

After Ouyang Qiang finished speaking, Wang Zhiyuan snorted a few times, and then said very respectfully: "Thank you for your criticism, secretary, I was originally a good intention, I didn't think so profoundly, after the secretary's criticism, I woke up like a dream, I hope that the secretary can give me a chance to correct my mistakes, in the future, I will pay attention to strengthening my own ideological construction, worthy of the power given to me by the party and the people!" ”

Ouyang Qiang nodded at this time and softened his tone: "As long as you can realize this, everyone is complaining about the bad social atmosphere now, if we don't start from ourselves and can't consciously resist the erosion of the bad social atmosphere on us, we may be a guest of honor today, and we will become a prisoner of the second rank tomorrow." Many times, it is just a thought to go from a public servant to a corrupt official, and there is only one step from a hero to a criminal, so we must not take the wrong step! ”

After a pause, Ouyang Qiang's gaze was a little kinder: "Zhiyuan, this matter is in the past, you don't have any ideological burden, how to work or how to work." ”

Wang Zhiyuan didn't know how he walked out of Ouyang Qiang's office as secretary of the municipal party committee, he just felt that cold sweat was constantly breaking out on his back, and his steps seemed to be stepping on cotton, and there was a feeling of emptiness.

Wang Zhiyuan never imagined that Ouyang Qiang, secretary of the municipal party committee, would actually push the money to him, let alone that his every word would be so harsh!

Wang Zhiyuan didn't know if Ouyang Qiang was really an honest and honest person, or if he had received more benefits from others, so he had to find a reason to return his money.

Back in his office, Wang Zhiyuan seemed to have collapsed, sitting in a chair, his mind blank. He thought of the last time he had asked Mayor Tang Maihua, was it better for him to go to Ouyang Qiang's office or to his home?

Mayor Tang Maihua said at the time: "You can do it yourself." ”

At that time, Wang Zhiyuan thought that Mayor Tang Maihua agreed to let him go to Ouyang Qiang, secretary of the municipal party committee, and if Tang Maihua did not agree to him going to Ouyang Qiang's house, he would definitely stop him.

Now it seems that Wang Zhiyuan feels that he has misunderstood. "Look at it" itself is a hint that he should judge the situation and prescribe the right medicine. However, now Wang Zhiyuan is a sycophant slapped on the horse's hooves, and he feels particularly wretched, which makes him feel a kind of ominous!

Wang Zhiyuan thought about it later and felt that there was something wrong with today's meeting with Ouyang Qiang, secretary of the municipal party committee. It stands to reason that if you want to see the secretary of the municipal party committee, you must first meet the secretary, and then let the secretary introduce it, which is in line with the general custom. But today, Wang Zhiyuan didn't see Ouyang Qiang, secretary of the municipal party committee, at all!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhiyuan couldn't sit still, made a call to Mayor Tang Maihua's office, and learned that the mayor had not yet left work, so he hurried over.

"What's going on?" After Mayor Tang Maihua took the secretary out, he asked in a deep voice, "Are you still like a director of the municipal government office when you are so flustered?" ”

Wang Zhiyuan is also the first time to talk about these things in the mayor's office, and even if he talked in the past, he would go to Mayor Tang Maihua's house.

Wang Zhiyuan honestly gave him a gift to Ouyang Qiang, secretary of the municipal party committee, and was called by Ouyang Qiang to return the gift in detail just now.

"Mayor, I estimate that there is a ** out of ten, Secretary Ouyang already has a candidate in mind." Wang Zhiyuan looked very depressed.

"How many did you send him?" Mayor Tang Maihua glanced at Wang Zhiyuan, and the expression on his face seemed to be a smile rather than a smile.

"300,000." Wang Zhiyuan felt bitter in his heart, but he could only answer honestly.

Tang Maihua's brows furrowed, thinking to himself, you fuck Wang Zhiyuan, Lao Tzu helped you transfer to the municipal government office as a director, you haven't taken 300,000 yuan to thank me, and now in order to be the secretary of the county party committee of Xiaolei County, you actually took out so much money to give away?

However, then again, Wang Zhiyuan even gave him his lover Xiao Beibei, and bought a house and a car, which is worth much more than 300,000 yuan. Besides, with the relationship between Wang Zhiyuan and Ouyang Qiang, secretary of the municipal party committee, can it be done if there is no money to open the way?

No one can answer this question!

Social reality is like this, and Wang Zhiyuan can't be blamed. 300,000 yuan, this number is not much, not too little, it seems that Wang Zhiyuan is really out of the way this time!

Wang Zhiyuan saw that Mayor Tang Maihua had been silent, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he said: "Now that something is wrong, I don't know if it will cause any trouble, and I am very uneasy." ”

Mayor Tang Maihua said: "I'm also thinking, I don't know if Ouyang Qiang really refuses or fakes to refuse." ”

"I can't grasp it now, judging from the way he spoke to me, he really rejected me. But judging from the time of the refund, it took several days to return the money, and I wondered if there was someone who gave more than me, so he had to return mine. Wang Zhiyuan's expression looked very puzzled.

Tang Maihua was thinking that Ouyang Qiang's refusal should be true. After all, Wang Zhiyuan is his Tang Maihua's person, if Ouyang Qiang accepts Wang Zhiyuan's bribe, wouldn't he give someone a handle?

"You might have made a mistake?" Tang Maihua sighed.

"Shouldn't I give it to him?" Wang Zhiyuan asked tentatively.

"Doing so before you know him is exposing your weaknesses to him." Tang Maihua said in a deep voice.

Wang Zhiyuan was shocked and sweated: "I kept thinking like this just now, it's really a good thing to do a bad thing, I can't even be the director of the municipal government office!" ”

Tang Maihua looked at Wang Zhiyuan's pitiful appearance, where did he look like a dignified director of the municipal government office? Maybe this is the multiple surnames and multi-faceted surnames of people, Wang Zhiyuan is a beggar in front of Mayor Tang Maihua, and he is naturally submissive all day long. But Wang Zhiyuan must be arrogant in front of others in the city government office!

Different environments play different roles. Looking at Wang Zhiyuan's pitiful appearance, Tang Maihua couldn't help but feel soft in his heart.

"Things aren't going to get bad enough to get that bad, so don't think about it." Tang Maihua smiled and said, "He took out all the secretaries, and then put them out to tell you a big reason, this is just a kind of scene, and it doesn't mean anything else." Besides, the director of the municipal government office is not the only one who has the final say, after all, it belongs to the work of the political axe, what are you worried about? ”

"Thank you, Mayor." Wang Zhiyuan's voice was a little choked.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely speak for you when I have the chance." Don Maihua said gently.

Wang Zhiyuan's face was filled with joy: "Okay, okay, I'm relieved." ”

Generally speaking, personnel arrangements must be made at the secretary's office meeting in advance, and after a rough framework is set, and then submitted to the standing committee of the municipal party committee for collective discussion.

Tang Maihua is well versed in the rules, the so-called Standing Committee, is nothing more than a formality, everyone knows that the number one person in an important post is either the secretary's right-hand man, or the mayor's cronies, and even the second and third leaders of various ministries and bureaus are all from backgrounds, if this candidate has no major problems and is on the Standing Committee, the Standing Committee members will not casually put forward their opinions.

Since Ouyang Qiang did not discuss with Tang Maihua the change of the position of the director of the municipal government office, Wang Zhiyuan's position is worry-free for the time being. If this kind of thing happens, Wang Zhiyuan can still keep this department-level treatment, which is already good, which also shows that Ouyang Qiang is a relatively generous person!

Then again, if you don't hit a smiling person, which level of leadership hasn't met someone who gives you a gift? Everyone has encountered it, whether to give or not to give is someone else's business, whether to receive or not is your business, if you take out the gift giving thing to show off how you connect, what you encounter must be praise on the surface, ridicule behind it, saying that you are in order to be famous and do not hesitate to trample others under your feet!

And Mayor Tang Maihua never imagined that soon after Wang Zhiyuan went out of his office, something would happen!
