Wang Zhiyuan was really panicked, and he had a strong sense of powerlessness about his future and fate.

If Governor Xie Maolin really fell, Wang Zhiyuan didn't dare to think about the consequences at all. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the Wanjiashan accident that has just subsided, if someone turns it over one day and rehashes the old matter, Wang Zhiyuan can't imagine what kind of fate awaits him!

Without the backstage of Governor Xie Maolin, he Wang Zhiyuan is nothing, and he may be beaten out of his original form at any time. In the Wanjiashan incident, what kind of role Wang Zhiyuan played, he himself knew very well.

Like Chang Jialiang, Wang Zhiyuan ran to the municipal axe and was not able to meet the person he desperately wanted to see, because Mayor Sun Wenzhe rushed to the provincial capital early in the morning.

Wang Zhiyuan hurriedly called Sun Wenzhe, and the phone was quickly connected.

"Zhiyuan, what's the matter?" Sun Wenzhe's voice was as majestic and deep as ever.

"Mayor, Gongsun is better than him......" Wang Zhi said in the long term, but was interrupted by Sun Wenzhe before he finished speaking.

"What does Gongsun Sheng's matter have to do with you?" Sun Wenzhe seemed to lower his voice, and asked with a hint of reprimand, "Don't run to the city if you're fine, this will have a bad impact." ”

After a pause, Sun Wenzhe softened his tone slightly: "The more critical the moment, the more calm you, the county magistrate, must be, doing your job well is more important than anything else, what are you panicking about?" ”

"Where is the governor ......," Wang Zhiyuan asked tentatively.

"Is that something you should be concerned about?" Sun Wenzhe immediately became angry, paused, and added, "Just a little wind and waves, why can't you be a comrade?" ”

After speaking, Sun Wenzhe hung up the phone.

Wang Zhiyuan's heart has calmed down a bit, at least, things have not reached the worst yet, listening to Mayor Sun Wenzhe's tone, things may take a turn for the better!

After thinking about it, Wang Zhiyuan did not return to Xiaolei County immediately, but made a phone call: "Hello, brother." I'm Wang Zhiyuan from Xiaolei County, my brother is not busy, why don't we have a light meal together at noon. ”

"It's County Magistrate Wang." A young voice came from the other end of the phone, if Li Jiatao was there, he could recognize this voice as the voice of his classmate and fellow villager Wang Biao, "What are you talking about, when you get to the city, I should ask the county magistrate to you." ”

"It's not the same who invites you and my brother, it's too much for my brother to say that." Wang Zhiyuan laughed.

"Okay, I'll see you at Juyuan Restaurant at half past eleven o'clock at noon, I'll accompany the county magistrate to have a few drinks, what do you think?" Although Wang Biao doesn't know what Wang Zhiyuan is looking for him, in the officialdom, one more friend is one more way, not to mention that Wang Zhiyuan's current administrative level is several levels higher than him.

In Wang Biao's view, this is also a rare opportunity. Official connections are connections, and Wang Biao sees this very clearly.

Wang Biao really doesn't know about the recent major events that have happened in Chunan Province one after another, and besides, he doesn't care about such big things, and he doesn't know that most of these things are made up by his classmate and fellow villager Li Jiatao.

Wang Biao is also a smart person, so he naturally knows that Wang Zhiyuan is looking for him, but it will not be because he is pleasing to his eyes, and the latter is for some other reason. There is no love for no reason in officialdom, this is an absolute thing. If you want to say that there is hatred in officialdom for no reason, it is very likely.

Wang Biao has always been very self-aware, but he never thinks that he is a personal favorite moon flower!

Wang Biao knows very well in his heart that Wang Zhiyuan's move has only one purpose, that is, to use himself to get in touch with his father-in-law-to-be, Tang Maihua, executive deputy mayor of Yandu City!

However, Wang Biao was a little surprised, didn't Wang Zhiyuan walk very close to Sun Wenzhe, how could he leave the gods in front of him and run to the temple to ask for the Bodhisattva?

Wang Biao and Wang Zhiyuan met by chance, and they didn't have any deep friendship with each other. It was at a banquet, and Wang Biao's father-in-law, Tang Maihua, was also there.

When Wang Biao toasted Wang Zhiyuan, he was accustomed to lowering the wine glass in his hand, making his wine glass half a glass lower than the wine glass in Wang Zhiyuan's hand. This is also a customary etiquette in officialdom, when toasting a leader or someone more noble than himself, he should make his cup lower than the other party to show humility.

The leader is on top!

In officialdom, many people pay attention to etiquette in these details. People like Wang Zhiyuan are even more important. Wang Biao noticed that when other section chiefs toasted Wang Zhiyuan, if the other party didn't pay much attention, when the height of the wine glass was about the same height as the wine glass in Wang Zhiyuan's hand, Wang Zhiyuan would not clink glasses with the other party, but quickly raised the wine glass in his hand, and retracted the hand holding the wine glass with a false movement!

That time, Wang Zhiyuan actually took the initiative to lower the wine glass in his hand, which was consistent with the height of the wine glass in Wang Biao's hand, and clinked glasses with a "bang", and Wang Zhiyuan dried up the wine in the wine glass in one go, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang Biao, the two of us are our own family, and we have the same generation, so we can be more close in the future." ”

It can be said that Wang Zhiyuan gave Wang Biao a lot of face that time, and Wang Biao's vanity was greatly satisfied. Therefore, Wang Biao felt that Wang Zhiyuan, the county magistrate, was a person who could be befriended.

People are like this, everything starts from their own point of view, intersects with people, subjective factors always take the initiative, and ignore objective factors!

Of course, man does not perish for his own sake. Wang Zhiyuan wants to take the path of Executive Vice Mayor Tang Maihua through Wang Biao, and if he doesn't give Wang Biao a little sweetness, then Wang Biao will not serve him sincerely.

The beauty of matchmaking is beautiful to say, but it is very retreating. Although people in the officialdom are full of retreat theories such as serving the people with the party name on most occasions, when they really encounter things, they still attach the most importance to how to be "pragmatic"!

The word "willing" seems simple, there is no "giving" without "giving"! Before you want something, you should think about what you should give up.

Wang Zhiyuan hung up the phone and instructed the driver to go to Juyuan Hotel, the most upscale hotel in Yandu.

Regarding Wang Biao, Wang Zhiyuan still conducted a lot of research. Wang Zhiyuan knew that Wang Biao was born in the countryside, his free family was poor, and he also had a strong inferiority complex. Therefore, what people like Wang Biao value most is face, and face is more important than surname!

After graduating from university, Wang Biao decisively entered the official career, not so much to be promoted and make a fortune, but to get ahead, and to be a superior person is more appropriate and accurate!

To Wang Zhiyuan's surprise, Wang Biao didn't seem to have any interest in women. Wang Zhiyuan has seen too many officials and cadres, so he can naturally distinguish the truth from the false.

Do what you like. This is also a very helpless thing for Wang Zhiyuan, because as a dignified and department-level cadre, he actually took the initiative to invite a deputy section-level cadre to dinner.

Booked a table of the best banquet in Juyuan Hotel early, served high-end Moutai wine and Zhonghua brand high-end cigarettes, Wang Zhiyuan got down from the guest room early, arrived at the restaurant box, and waited for Wang Biao's arrival, which can be said to have given Wang Biao enough face.

"County Magistrate Wang, it's really a sin to let you wait for me." As soon as Wang Biao came in, he hurriedly said.

"There are no outsiders, so let's have a few drinks today." Wang Zhiyuan smiled, "I also just arrived, and I ordered wine and food, and I don't know if it suits your taste, brother." ”

"I can eat and drink with you, even if it's poison, I'm happy." Wang Biao said with a smile, "Let's say first, I have to buy this order today, otherwise I really don't dare to drink this wine." ”

"See you outside." Wang Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and patted Wang Biao's shoulder, then grabbed Wang Biao's shoulder, sat him down, and poured wine for Wang Zhiyuan himself, then filled his wine glass, picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Let's go first." ”

"Deep feelings, a mouthful." Wang Biao looked very bold.

"Come, eat the vegetables, try the boiled fish here." Wang Zhiyuan was very attentive and gave a pair of chopsticks to Wang Biao.

A few glasses of high-grade liquor went down, and the two of them had fewer scruples when they spoke, and they were much more casual. In China, a lot of business is negotiated at the wine table, and the friendship of many officials and cadres is also built at the wine table!

This is also the "wine culture" that Chinese people are often proud of and show off, broad and profound!

"County Magistrate Wang, my high school classmate Li Jiatao also works in your Xiaolei County, and he has been fine recently." Wang Biao asked very casually, but it made Wang Zhiyuan feel a sigh in his heart.

"You said Li Jiatao, he was the secretary of the county party secretary Lu Tao, and he also sang the leading role in the Wanjiashan incident." Wang Zhiyuan's expression was slightly embarrassed, and Gu Zuoyan was also testing Wang Biao's reaction.

"My old classmate, my grades have always been worse than mine when I was studying, but I was born with an exam type, and I actually scored more than ten points more than me in the college entrance examination." Wang Biao's words had some regret, but Wang Zhiyuan could hear that there was a lot of sourness in them.

"Yes, your old classmate has a good writing style, and at the end of last year, he published two eye-catching articles in the Youth Daily." Wang Zhiyuan said deliberately.

"Well, I've read both of those articles." Wang Biao's face changed slightly, as if he was reluctant to talk about this issue, and immediately changed the topic, "County Magistrate Wang, you have worked in Xiaolei County for more than 20 years, and it can be said that you have no merit and hard work. I heard Mayor Tang say, this time the city originally recommended you to the province to be the secretary, who knew that Lu Tao was killed out of thin air, and I heard that he was originally a professor at the Beijing Youth School of Administration? ”

"Yes, Secretary Lu is very rich in theoretical knowledge, and he even came up with an activity of cadres going to the countryside to work earlier, so that everyone can remember the bittersweet ones." Wang Zhiyuan has something to say, but people can't find fault with it.

"County Magistrate Wang, I've heard about this too." Wang Biao smiled slightly, "Secretary Ouyang of the Municipal Party Committee also plans to promote this activity in the whole city, saying that he wants to carry out a labor activity of 10,000 cadres going to the countryside. ”

Wang Zhiyuan's heart tightened when he heard this, but he said: "That's good, wow, our Xiaolei County is in front of the city." ”

The two of them were pulling back and forth, Wang Zhiyuan didn't take the initiative to bring up the official topic, and Wang Biao naturally wouldn't post it.

"There have been a lot of things in Xiaolei County, first the Wanjiashan incident, and then the executive vice governor Gao Dongyang came to our Xiaolei County to inspect, and was stopped by the people of Tianma Mountain to petition, which has caused a great negative impact. This time, Governor Xie Maolin's brother-in-law, Gongsun Sheng, was taken away by the criminal police team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and he didn't say hello to the leaders of our Xiaolei County Party Committee first. It seems that there are many problems in the work of the county party committee and county political axe of Xiaolei County. I have also been reflecting on these issues, and I have always wanted to report to Mayor Tang in person, but I am afraid of disturbing Mayor Tang...... "Wang Zhiyuan saw that Wang Biao had a bold appearance, but in fact he was slippery like a loach, and there was no way to be there, so he had to take the initiative to mention the purpose of his trip.

"Mayor Tang has been really busy with this recent incident, I heard Dongxiang say that many of them said that Mayor Tang didn't go home until after ten o'clock in the evening." Wang Biao said with a smile.

"I've always wanted to visit Mayor Tang's house, but I'm afraid of disturbing Mayor Tang's rest." Wang Zhiyuan had a rather embarrassed expression.

"Mayor Tang has no other hobbies, and he likes to fish in his spare time." Wang Biao pondered for a moment before saying with a smile.

"The leaders are most afraid that the masses will not pursue it, and the masses are most afraid that the leaders will not have hobbies. Mayor Tang has such a hobby, which is really a good blessing for our grassroots cadres and people in Yandu. Find a time, I must ask Mayor Tang to fish. Wang Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately answered.

"Mayor Tang's health is not very good, he fishing is not only to cultivate his surname, but also a means to strengthen his body. In Mayor Tang's words, it's called health fishing. Wang Biao smiled, "Therefore, Mayor Tang pays more attention to the environment when fishing, the mountains should be green, and the water should be beautiful, because where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the oxygen is pure, and it is also rich in negative ions, which can filter out the turbidity on the body." ”

When Wang Zhiyuan heard this, he felt a little bottom in his heart, took out a bulging envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Wang Biao's pocket. Looking at Wang Zhiyuan's movements, he should have been prepared a long time ago.

It is also particular about giving cash to leaders in officialdom. If it's three or five hundred yuan, it's usually wrapped in red. However, if the cash is in the thousands, it is usually in an envelope. Therefore, what people usually call giving red envelopes is not the kind of "festive red envelopes" that are stipulated. Envelopes like this with thousands of envelopes are the real big red envelopes.

Of course, this is just a small courtesy. Bribing leaders at the upper level is not so stupid, it seems too blunt. If you send more than 100,000 or 200,000 or even more, then simply fill a bag with a beautiful leather bag and put it in the leader's car or home, and pretend not to care too much about forgetting!

Gift-giving is a science, but also an art, many ordinary people ask people to do things, the way of gift-giving is very lame, it is really insulting the science of gift-giving!

Wang Biao put his hand in his pocket and gestured to take out the envelope.

Wang Zhiyuan held it down, and said with a smile: "My brother has given me some guidance, and there is nothing to thank for, just a little meaning." ”

Wang Biao stopped insisting, let go of his hand, and said with a smile: "After you find a suitable place, let's figure it out together." ”

In fact, Wang Biao's hand that reached into his pocket just now just pinched the size of the money in the envelope, which was estimated to be as much as seven or eight thousand, and secretly sighed that this county magistrate Wang Zhiyuan was really generous!

As for Wang Zhiyuan, what he wants is Wang Biao's words.
