Chapter 360: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore
Li Jiatao has been very busy in the past few days, either receiving people from the province and the city, or going to the grassroots level to inspect the work, or participating in the ribbon-cutting of enterprises, all of which are face-saving things, and it is not okay if you don't do them.
On this morning, Li Jiatao had just gone to the Yuhua Hotel to see off a deputy director of the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission, and was about to go home, when he saw Wei Wei, deputy secretary of the district party committee, walking out of the VIP building with a big belly, followed by the executive vice president of the party school of the district party committee.
Li Jiatao then remembered that this Wei Wei also served as the principal of the Party School of the District Party Committee.
There was no way, Li Jiatao had no choice but to stop, ready to say hello to Wei Wei before leaving.
Li Jiatao and Wei Wei did not have a deep friendship, and later both of them became members of the Standing Committee of the Yuhua District Party Committee, and they had some contacts because of their work.
Wei Wei is the deputy secretary in charge of party building and organization, and the second-in-command of the district party committee. Li Jiatao was also going to talk to Wei Wei differently, and wanted to mention Qiao Feng's name at Wei Wei's secretary's office meeting.
Qiao Feng wants to enter the Yuhua District Public Security Bureau, although Li Jiatao can directly handle it through the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, but that will make things stiff, if Wei Wei can speak, everything will seem smooth, and people will have nothing to say.
Since he met here, Li Jiatao strode up to meet him.
Wei Bu stretched out a hand from afar, and waited until he held it, and then said, "District Chief Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you here to inspect the work?" ”
Li Jiatao held Wei Wei's hand, shook it, and said with a smile: "Where to inspect?" As soon as I sent away a few comrades from the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission, I saw your secretary, how are you doing? ”
Wei Wei smiled slightly: "A vice president of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee came down to inspect the work and just went upstairs to take a look. As he spoke, Wei Wei glanced at the entourage behind him again, and ordered, "You guys are busy, I'll have a few words with District Chief Li." ”
Several other people said hello to Li Jiatao and left.
"Go to the room, or do you say it in the garden?" Li Jiatao asked casually.
"The air outside is good, just take a walk in the garden." Wei Wei smiled, took out the Hibiscus ace cigarette, gave one to Li Jiatao, and lit one himself.
The garden of the hotel is well decorated, there are mountains and water, but the mountain is a rockery, and the water is tap water. The willow tree is real, the breeze blows, swinging at will, very artistic conception.
The two of them walked on the gravel path and came to a shady place lined with green trees, and Wei Wei immediately said: "Jiatao, I heard that you finally attracted a foreign businessman, and as a result, the Public Security Bureau swept away the rhubarb?" ”
Li Jiatao was shocked, how did Wei Wei know about this? If this matter reached the ears of Ou Dongping, secretary of the district party committee, he still thought that he was singing against him, so he quickly explained: "This can't be completely blamed for sweeping pornography and cracking down on illegal activities, this foreign businessman is not a good bird, our mainland is not Taiwan, and we can't do whatever we want." ”
Wei Wei snorted: "Yes, too." ”
Li Jiatao always felt that Wei Wei asked a little strange, you must know that Taiwanese businessman Zou Pintao felt very faceless because he was swept away by the Public Security Bureau, and no matter how the comrades of the China Merchants Office did their work, they still sneaked away in the end, and few people knew about this matter, let alone how to come up with a new version, saying that he had been imprisoned.
"The secretary really observes the people's feelings, and he knows about this matter so quickly." Li Jiatao said quietly.
Wei Wei still laughed and said: "What secretary, my secretary is not the same as you, the district elder, the real adult is the leader of the family." I also learned about this matter at the secretary's office meeting. When Li Jiatao heard this, his heart tightened, and he heard that Wei Wei had something to say, so he asked: "Could it be that someone said that the district secretary went?" Wei Wei looked around, and then lowered his voice and said: "At the secretary's office meeting that day, the district secretary expressed dissatisfaction with the work of Wan Zhiwei, and criticized his model project for not being meticulous, and an accident occurred, which triggered the masses to petition. Wan Zhiqiang was a little unconvinced, and said that you finally attracted a big project, and let the anti-pornography and anti-illegal activities be swept away. ”
Li Jiatao gasped, he really didn't expect that District Chief Wan Zhiqiang would be such a person, didn't he roast himself on the fire?
"You just know it yourself, pay attention in the future, don't let him use you as a shield." Wei Wei reminded him very kindly.
Li Jiatao nodded, with a grateful expression on his face: "Thank you Secretary Wei for the reminder." ”
"We are second in command, we have something in common." Wei Wei smiled even more happily.
When they were about to break up, Li Jiatao seemed to suddenly remember: "Secretary Wei, when I was in Xiaolei County, there was a police station director named Qiao Feng, who wanted to come to work in our Yuhua District Public Security Bureau. The Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee has passed it, can you please mention it at the secretary's office meeting? ”
"The nomination of a section-level cadre is trivial." Wei Wei only groaned slightly, and then agreed: "Which position does Qiao Feng want to seek?" ”
"The captain of the security brigade or the captain of the criminal police brigade can do it." Li Jiatao said.
Wei Wei smiled and said, "Captain of Public Security, I nominate Qiao Feng to be the deputy director in charge of public security of the Public Security Bureau." ”
"Then I'll thank Secretary Wei first." Li Jiatao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This is also the first time Li Jiatao has asked for help, or for the sake of the position, it is really out of helplessness. As the executive deputy head of the district, he can't control some forces in politics and law, and many things are difficult to do.
"Each other, each other." Wei Wei waved his hand.
After the two broke up, Li Jiatao was still very depressed, and he really didn't expect that the district mayor Wan Zhiwei would be like this. Although Zou Pintao was forced away by the anti-pornography and anti-illegal activities, it is a real situation, and it is okay to raise it as a problem under normal circumstances, but if it is used as a reason to fight back against Ou Dongping, secretary of the district party committee, it will become a problem.
In this way, Li Jiatao became a bullet in Wan Zhiqiang's hand to attack Ou Dongping, secretary of the district party committee, and Ou Dongping would definitely have prejudices against him.
This is only one aspect of the problem, and the other is why did Wei Wei tell himself this? According to common sense, this is a matter at the secretary's office meeting, and Wei Wei, as the deputy secretary of the district party committee, must keep it a secret.
Could it be that Wei Wei really cares and sympathizes with himself?
Definitely!
Wei Wei's purpose in saying this must be to arouse Li Jiatao's anger against Wan Zhiqiang and cause infighting!
Li Jiatao had long heard that there were people above Wei Wei, who went down from the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee to Yuhua District, and became the deputy secretary of the District Party Committee after less than two years as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
However, in Li Jiatao's view, Wei Wei has some ability and level, and he is also humble and kind. It's just that some people talk about it in private, saying that Wei Wei is very ambitious. At this time, it seems that it is true!
"Could it be that Wei Wei has set his sights on the position of district chief and wants to create some incidents to squeeze out Wan Zhiqiang so that he can replace him?" Li Jiatao's heart was full of questions.
It's really unpredictable, people's hearts are unpredictable, Li Jiatao has to be a little more guarded, he can't just let Wan Zhiqiang be a gunman, and let Wei Wei be a gunman again. Otherwise, Li Jiatao would be too mentally retarded.
Li Jiatao decided to wash himself in front of Ou Dongping, secretary of the district party committee, and tore up what Wan Zhi imposed on him in front of Ou Dongping. Otherwise, Ou Dongping must have thought that Li Jiatao and Wan Zhiqiang were in a trap and were against him in private!
If this is the case, it will naturally have a certain degree of impact on Li Jiatao's future.
But how to get rid of these negative impressions in Ou Dongping's mind? This is also a thorny issue, and Li Jiatao must find a suitable reason to say it inconspicuously when reporting on his work.
If you go directly to the door and see Ou Dongping, you will go straight to the point and say that not only will you not be able to wash yourself, but you will also leave a bad impression that there is no silver three hundred taels here!
After thinking about it, Li Jiatao felt that he should report to Ou Dongping on the work of attracting investment, as well as the achievements made so far, as well as the issue of further improving the investment environment.
It just so happens that in the past few days, Li Jiatao has conducted a survey on foreign enterprises, and it can be proved from the data that these enterprises are producing well, which also shows that the results of attracting investment are very significant. Although this work is handled by the political axe, the political axe is under the leadership of the party committee, and Li Jiatao's direct report to Ou Dongping is undoubtedly a manifestation of moving closer to the party committee and an opportunity to get close to Ou Dongping.
Li Jiatao knows very well in his heart that the leaders will be relatively close to the subordinates who often report to him. For subordinates who don't often report to themselves, they will naturally be more alienated. Reporting work is undoubtedly a bridge for communication between the upper and lower levels, and it is also a link for doing a good job in the relationship between the upper and lower levels.
Li Jiatao asked his subordinates to implement a few sets of figures, probably cleaned up his thoughts, and as soon as he went to work in the afternoon, he made a phone call to Ou Dongping, asking him if he was free and wanted to report his work.
"Just free, come on." Ou Dongping responded lightly on the phone.
Li Jiatao rarely reports to Ou Dongping alone, not because he doesn't want to be close to Ou Dongping, but mainly because there is a district chief Wan Zhiqiang in front, if he runs too diligently, Wan Zhiqiang will inevitably have some ideas, and it will be very embarrassing when the time comes.
Now, Li Jiatao can't bear it, he must change his past thoughts, and he can't let Wan Zhiqiang sell himself and help him count the banknotes!
Li Jiatao didn't expect that after he finished reporting the work of attracting investment and the production and operation of foreign-funded enterprises to Ou Dongping, Ou Dongping immediately said very happily: "Jiatao, the work is good, it is worthy of recognition." There are a lot of experiences in this, and they are all worth promoting. In particular, some ideas can be said to be brand new, and a special topic can be set up and experts can be invited to study it. ”
"Thank you for the encouragement of the secretary, there are achievements, and they have been made under the correct leadership of you and the district committee, and I hope that the secretary will criticize and guide more in the future."
"Achievements are also the results of collective leadership, and they do not belong to me alone." Ou Dongping waved his hand, "Also, what do you think of our current investment environment, and is there anything worth exploring and studying?" ”
Li Jiatao was like a mirror in his heart, Ou Dongping had something to say, which also just gave himself a chance to wash himself, so he immediately answered: "To say that the investment environment of our Yuhua District, except for the geographical conditions are not dominant, everything else is good, one is that we have successively introduced a series of preferential policies, which is still very attractive to investors." Second, we have very abundant labor resources here, and the wages are much lower than those in the coastal areas, which is also one of our advantages. Third, with the advancement of the construction of spiritual civilization, if our Yuhua District can win the glorious title of spiritual civilization demonstration area next year, it will undoubtedly improve the character of our Yuhua District, and in turn will promote the work of attracting investment. ”
Ou Dongping listened, his face gradually became happy, and Zhengse said: "Jiatao, I heard that you finally introduced a foreign businessman last time, but you were swept away by the anti-pornography and anti-illegal activities, is there such a thing?" ”
Li Jiatao's heart tightened, knowing that the conversation was finally close to the substance, so he smiled and said: "There is a matter, but after the Taiwan businessman was arrested by the Public Security Bureau, I immediately sent a comrade from the China Merchants Bureau to the Public Security Bureau to get him back." The Public Security Bureau did not impose any penalty on Taiwan businessmen. Later, the Taiwan businessman gave up his investment in our Yuhua District, and it was not entirely because the Public Security Bureau's Anti-Pornography and Anti-Illegal Affairs Office arrested him, but there was a difference between Taiwan and the mainland, and he knew this better than anyone else, and the key problem was that he wanted to enter the development community in the western district, because we had imposed restrictions on the conditions for entering the area, and I had no right to directly agree to him, saying that I would study it at the meeting. As a result, before he could go to the meeting, he slapped his ass and left. ”
Ou Dongping let out an "oh" and nodded, and then he said: "Jiatao, now some people are making a big fuss about me with this matter, saying that I have created a national spiritual civilization demonstration zone to eliminate pornography and fight illegal activities, and have driven away Taiwan businessmen." How can this be justified that the elimination of pornography and illegal activities can also sweep away Taiwan businessmen? If it is really swept away, what do we keep him for a Taiwanese businessman like this? ”
Li Jiatao said with a look of righteous indignation: "Who dares to make a fuss about you, the secretary?" This man is too bold! What's so bad about creating a national spiritual civilization demonstration zone? Polishing the city's business card can be more conducive to our investment promotion, and it is not a positive flow. Real investors are here to engage in business, not to prostitute. ”
"Who else could be the person who made a fuss about me? It's not your Wanda District Governor yet. Jiatao, you're right, I hate to agree with your point of view. As a leader, you must have a sense of the overall situation, be politically minded, and not just focus on immediate interests and ignore long-term goals. Ou Dongping nodded with satisfaction.
"I really didn't expect District Mayor Wan to think so." Li Jiatao echoed.
"I also heard that someone in Hetang Township wore linen and filial piety to petition the district political axe, but was persuaded to return by your work?" Ou Dongping suddenly changed the topic.
Li Jiatao replied with a smile: "I can't hide anything from you, secretary, there is such a thing, the petitioners are not very demanding, only asking for compensation of 100,000 yuan for their dead relatives, in order to calm the situation and avoid the expansion of the situation, I agreed to their request on the spot, and the political axe team of the Hetang Township Party Committee has implemented this matter." ”
Ou Dongping said "oh" again: "You are right to deal with it like this, human life is a matter of God, we have already made mistakes, and we can't add mistakes to mistakes." What do you think about the construction of the model house? ”
As soon as Li Jiatao heard this, he understood what Ou Dongping needed, so he smiled: "At the beginning, when the district government axe discussed the plan, I didn't agree with it, because the people of the model engineering team had no tangible benefits, but brought trouble to their lives. What's more, the common people simply don't have the money to repair the building, and many people feel that they have something to live and eat, and they are not willing to take on so much debt for the repair of the building. District Mayor Wan criticized me for not having a long-term vision, and I had no choice but to obey the majority. ”
"Jiatao, the principles that should be adhered to in the future must be adhered to, and there can be no compromise. At the beginning, I was also responsible for this matter, and I was too accommodating to Comrade Wan Zhiqiang. To tell you the truth, the district party committee has recently received several letters from the masses in Hetang Township, who have great opinions on the construction of model houses, saying that they are not willing at all, and that they were forced to do it by the political axes at the district and township levels. Look at how many people's fate is involved in a major decision-making error? Moreover, it is obviously the fault of one person, but it has to be borne collectively. On the side of the political axe, you must be bold and responsible in the future, and you must adhere to the principles that you should adhere to, and never give up. It doesn't matter if there is a disagreement, the district committee can come forward to solve it, what are you afraid of? What I am most afraid of is a ball of harmony and a voice. ”
Li Jiatao smiled bitterly, and could only say: "With your support from the secretary, I will definitely insist on what should be insisted on." ”
Coming out of the office of the secretary of the district party committee in Dongping, Li Jiatao was also very emotional.
The leadership team of Yuhua District looks like a calm lake, but under this calm, there are invisible waves flowing. Everyone hides and does not reveal on the surface, but deep in their hearts, they have their own little Jiujiu.
Li Jiatao naturally knew very well in his heart that the reason why Ou Dongping cheered him up so much was to pull him over from Wan Zhiqiang's side, form a strong united front with himself, and completely isolate Wan Zhiqiang.
In this way, Li Jiatao not only relieved himself of the report work, but also got closer to Ou Dongping, secretary of the district party committee.
However, Li Jiatao was also a little nervous in his heart. Li Jiatao obviously felt that the peak duel between Ou Dongping, secretary of the district party committee, and Wan Zhiqiang, the head of the district, had begun, and it was still inconclusive who would kill the deer, and it was difficult to say whether he could profit in this power game.
However, there is one thing Li Jiatao can be sure of, that is, he will definitely become the object of contention between the two sides, and he can completely watch the fire from the other side, and then decide his own direction!
Fate is still in your own hands!
In fact, there is no eternal advantage in officialdom, and there is no eternal disadvantage, everything is constantly changing! Ups and downs, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, are all normal things!
