Li Jiatao first felt the fragility of his soul: "Damn, the official is small, and he has to be a dwarf at the wine table, so he has to raise more glasses and toast more, this is the reality, the reality of life." ”

The next day, the district political axe arranged a small banquet for Dou Yangmin, which was attended by the deputy district head and the director of the district government office.

Wine, sometimes it's a good thing, and after a few glasses of wine, it's a pleasure. The relationship between leaders, leaders and the led, is easy to improve, and the warmth of the surname will permeate everyone's hearts on this particular occasion. Strangers soon become heartfelt brothers, and people who usually have a grudge will turn their hostility into friendship.

And this time to welcome the new leader, everyone is naturally indispensable to toast the new leader, and the new leader must also observe the surname and personality of each subordinate at the wine table one by one.

Some people say that wine style is like style, and wine is like character. Although this is a bit absolute, there is also a certain truth, and a person's personality can indeed be seen from the style and quality of wine.

Li Jiatao looked at the smiling faces that he was usually familiar with, and he turned towards Dou Yangmin in an instant, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart. This is not because of how handsome Dou Yangmin looks, on the contrary, Dou Yangmin is not handsome at all, with a long face and big ears, and wide-mouthed bean eyes. If Dou Yangmin is mixed up with the ranks of laid-off workers, it is not remarkable at all.

The problem is that Dou Yangmin is not a laid-off worker, he is the new acting district head, and he can decide the fate of many people. If He Yangmin, Liu Yangmin, or Li Yangmin sit in this position, everyone will also put their smiles and attention on him!

After thousands of years of feudal culture in China, as well as the worship of power, generations of scholars have been enslaved, and no one is an exception.

Li Jiatao's position change also put him in a relatively awkward position. The second-in-command is an awkward position in itself, and you can't be too ostentatious or too incompetent. If it is too public, it will pose a threat to the authority of the number one. If you are too incompetent, the number one will think you are useless, and the third or fourth leader will take the opportunity to usurp the throne and seize power. How to treat me, the key is to learn to forbear, this is a compulsory course for people in officialdom, and it is also the only way to become the number one.

The ideal of the second-in-command is to replace the first-in-command, and the ideal of the first-in-command is to become a higher-level second-in-command. There is no eternal number one in officialdom, and there is no eternity, only eternal power and desire.

Just stepped into the new year, what Li Jiatao didn't expect was that Dou Yangmin, the acting head of the district, who had taken over the political axe work for less than a month, burned "three fires" in a row!

The first fire, rectify the political axe organs, improve work efficiency, and find those who leave their posts, those who arrive late and leave early, those who chat, drink and play cards during work hours, so that the severity of the plot will be dealt with differently. Dou Yangmin also transferred personnel from various units, set up an inspection group, and divided it into several groups to go deep into various units to supervise and inspect.

The second fire, Dou Yangmin's construction projects of all units will be reported to the district government for unified supervision and unified bidding, and each unit is not allowed to do its own thing.

In the third fire, Dou Yangmin increased the investment of the district government axe in the housing project to alleviate the housing difficulties of the people.

Objectively speaking, these three fires are still relatively practical, which has aroused the support of the people to a certain extent, and has also greatly improved Dou Yangmin's personal prestige.

Li Jiatao couldn't help but think of Dou Yangmin's visit to Yuhua District a few months ago.

If this is the case, it shows that Dou Yangmin's background is really not small!

Before burning these three fires, Dou Yangmin did not ask Li Jiatao's opinion at all, but directly took the plan to the Standing Committee of the Political Axe for discussion.

This also made Li Jiatao a little dissatisfied in his heart, feeling that Dou Yangmin was very modest on the surface, but he was very arrogant in his bones. At the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Axe, Li Jiatao expressed his support for Dou Yangmin!

Li Jiatao has no reason not to express his position, in officialdom, the number one is the absolute truth, the second in command is the relative truth, the third in command obeys the truth, and others have no truth.

The truth is always in the hands of a few. With power, his ideas become decisions. Without power, his thoughts can only be ideas.

Li Jiatao knew very well in his heart that the reason why Dou Yangmin was so hurriedly burning three fires was nothing more than to win the hearts of the people before the people's congress was held, so that he could remove the word "deputy" in the people's congress election after the Spring Festival and successfully become the district head.

After the discussion and approval of the Standing Committee of the Political Axe, these three fires quickly ignited.

However, what Li Jiatao didn't expect was that he actively fanned the flames for Dou Yangmin, fanning back and forth, but fanning the fire on his head.

In the afternoon of that day, Huang Guoliang, director of the Urban Construction Bureau, hurriedly went to Li Jiatao's office and reported to him that the library bidding they had made a year ago would not be counted, and they would have to overturn it and start over and the district would bid for it in a unified manner.

When Li Jiatao heard this, he couldn't help but get angry and asked, "What is their reason?" ”

Huang Guoliang sat down to wipe his sweat: "District Mayor Dou said that the bidding for the library was organized by the competent bureau, which did not conform to the spirit of the document on the unified bidding by the district political axe. ”

"It's really nonsense, how can you get back what has been contracted?" Li Jiatao felt unreasonable, "This is equivalent to saying, let him vomit the food he ate yesterday today, can he?" ”

Li Jiatao had long expected that after Dou Yangmin came, he would definitely deny some of his previous work, especially for some projects, and make some bidding adjustments, which would definitely affect the project he promised Peng Jiabin, so he deliberately rushed to get Peng Jiabin the library project through public bidding before Dou Yangmin took office, and finally drew a successful end to the demolition incident.

It is precisely because Dou Yangmin's three fires will not affect this project that Li Jiatao actively supported Dou Yangmin and praised Dou Yangmin's decision-making at the meeting.

Unexpectedly, Li Jiatao was supporting Dou Yangmin, but Dou Yangmin was demolishing his platform in the back.

"Did Dou Yangmin be provoked by others and do it intentionally?" Li Jiatao had to think about this issue.

Huang Guoliang tried this and said: "District Chief Li, you dissipate your anger first, is there a misunderstanding in any link?" ”

Li Jiatao groaned slightly, and said calmly: "You analyze, if there is a misunderstanding in the link, which link do you think it will appear in?" ”

"In terms of links, we are also following the normal procedure. I guess Dou Yangmin knows the secret of Peng Jiabin's project, and your personal prestige and popularity are higher than his, he is afraid that you will steal his limelight and want to take the opportunity to suppress you? Huang Guoliang lowered his voice.

Li Jiatao sneered: "He is now the acting district head, what threat can I pose to him?" If that's the case, then he's too unconfident. ”

Huang Guoliang's voice was lowered: "The outside world doesn't see it that way, the demolition of illegal buildings last time was very loud, and the media hype and the praise of social public opinion made you famous, and even some media named you 'Demolition District Chief', which was reprinted by newspapers in many provinces and cities across the country." And this demolition is very different from the demolition in the minds of the people in the past, which represents the demolition of the strong group by the disadvantaged group. It is precisely because this behavior alludes to the people's hatred of the rich that you have become the spokesperson for the disadvantaged and a political star-like figure. Dou Yangmin is in harmony with you on the surface, can he not be afraid in his heart? If you replace him in the National People's Congress elections in two months' time, can he afford to lose this person? Therefore, he had to make this move, wanting to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, create some negative impact on you, suppress you, and make Peng Jiabin turn against you, and then he won in success. ”

Huang Guoliang's words can be said to be heart-wrenching, and Li Jiatao has not thought about this aspect, but it feels unlikely, the election of the district head is an equal election, and if no one specifically instigates it, others will generally not be elected. And Li Jiatao himself will never participate in it, if he knows that someone is doing it in the dark, he will stop it.

This is not a joke, in ancient times it was equivalent to a palace coup, and it was to be killed. In contemporary times, it is a political event, it is a sabotage of the election, and if it is investigated, it will not be ruined from now on.

After Huang Guoliang's analysis, Li Jiatao felt that it was not impossible to have this possibility, and it was precisely because of this possibility that Li Jiatao did not hesitate to turn his face with him, and had to find a way to suppress him in the summer area.

Now, that's all that can be explained. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Li Jiatao to find a reason to convince himself.

"If he really wants to think about it, I can't stop it. Still, I wanted to talk to him, and it would be better to get him to abandon the idea of re-tendering. If he still insists on doing this, you can only explain the truth of the matter to Peng Jiabin, and let him find Secretary Lei to put pressure on Dou Yangmin. Li Jiatao said in a deep voice.

"District Chief Li, you are really a general, and you have millions of soldiers in your chest." Huang Guoliang complimented.

"I also have to do it as a last resort, in addition, you also have to see the situation clearly, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, at this stage, everything must be thought twice, be cautious and cautious, don't let people catch your handle. When I'm done talking to Dou Yangmin, I'll give you a breath. Li Jiatao thought about it and instructed again.

After Huang Guoliang left, Li Jiatao decided to go to Dou Yangmin to have a good talk. It is better to communicate sooner rather than later, while there is no follow-up now, otherwise once the text is written, it will be passive for Dou Yang to reform the people.

But how do you say that? What if Dou Yangmin doesn't accept it?

This is a very tricky problem, if Li Jiatao wants to do Tai Chi, it is best not to communicate with Dou Yangmin, directly call Lei Tiankong, hand over the problem to the above, and then let Lei Tiankong do Dou Yangmin's work, so that the problem can be dealt with quietly.

Of course, there are also places where this is not rigorous, for example, if Lei Tiankong asks, have you Li Jiatao communicated with Dou Yangmin? Li Jiatao couldn't answer that I hadn't communicated yet.

What would this make Lei Tiankong think?

If the procedure is followed, Li Jiatao made a suggestion to Dou Yangmin, but he did not accept it, he had to insist on doing so, and then he would have a reason to report to Lei Tiankong, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Of course, there is also a problem here, that is, Li Jiatao is bound to offend Dou Yangmin, thinking that he Li Jiatao is deliberately demolishing the stage and embarrassing him.

After thinking about it, Li Jiatao still decided to talk to Dou Yangmin first, even if Dou Yangmin knew the inside story of the project, there was nothing unpleasant, he did not receive a penny from Peng Jiabin, nor did he eat a meal from him, it was nothing more than a kind of flexibility in the administrative process. Besides, Li Jiatao had already consulted Ou Dongping, secretary of the district party committee, and was approved by the secretary, and Dou Yangmin now turned it out, indicating that he did not understand the rules and committed a big taboo, which would also attract Ou Dongping's disgust.

If Dou Yangmin still insisted on going his own way, he had to ask Lei Tiankong to suppress him. Since he Dou Yangmin doesn't know how to respect others, there is no need for Li Jiatao to take care of him anymore?

Although Li Jiatao tried his best to cooperate with Dou Yangmin at work, he still felt that with the passage of time, as Dou Yangmin's interpersonal relationship and prestige improved day by day, the relationship between them gradually became cold from the original intimacy!

Why is that?

Li Jiatao also often wonders, is he not caring enough about him in life? But the person is the district mayor and the leader, and Li Jiatao is not too explicit. If he always thinks that Li Jiatao wants to take care of Dou Yangmin, it will make him feel a burden in his heart, and it will be even worse.

Li Jiatao seriously reflected on himself, and felt that their subtle changes didn't seem to be here, did someone provoke them and make Dou Yangmin have any opinion of him?

This kind of possible surname does not seem to be very big, because Li Jiatao is very cautious in everything, and he follows Dou Yangmin's wishes, and he has never said anything that is not conducive to the unity of the team and Dou Yangmin, even if someone wants to make a fuss, there is no opportunity to take advantage of it.

Thinking about it, Li Jiatao feels that Huang Guoliang's analysis is very reasonable, I am afraid that the key to the problem is that the media has raised themselves too high, which has caused a certain amount of pressure on Dou Yangmin, which has caused Dou Yangmin to have a distance and indifference to him.

Dou Yangmin's office is still the original Wan Zhiqiang's, and after being repainted and decorated, it is much more generous. When Dou Yangmin just sat on this chair, Li Jiatao no longer had the previous sense of restraint when he entered and exited, and he seemed to feel that there was a sense of equality and friendliness in the cordiality. However, it didn't take long for this feeling to happen, with the transfer of power, as the popularity of Dou Yangmin's office became more and more popular, Li Jiatao felt that Dou Yangmin was becoming more and more like Wan Zhiqiang.

Li Jiatao can't deny that everyone is changing, Dou Yangmin is becoming stronger and stronger, but he is becoming more and more obedient.

"It's Jiatao, come, sit down and talk." As soon as Dou Yangmin saw that it was Li Jiatao, he threw away a cigarette, but his tone was a little stiff, as if he had a posture of superior-subordinate relationship, which also made Li Jiatao feel an indescribable feeling in his heart, "What's the matter, say it." ”

Li Jiatao originally wanted to go around in a circle and speak more artistically and tactfully, but he didn't expect Dou Yangmin to ask such a tough question, so he said straight to the point: "I heard that several bidding projects that were done by the political axe before you came are going to be overturned and restarted, is there such a thing?" ”

Dou Yangmin flicked the cigarette ash: "There is such a thing, do you have any objections?" ”

"District Chief Dou, I don't think this is too appropriate." Li Jiatao said it bluntly.

Dou Yangmin sighed, looking unhappy: "Then I want to listen, why is it inappropriate?" ”

Li Jiatao was also very unhappy when he saw Dou Yangmin's condescending appearance. Your Dou Yangmin's code hasn't been removed yet, you are so domineering, if you really become the district head, you may be even more domineering than Wan Zhiqiang!

"First, those projects are not the personal actions of any one person, but the bidding made by the political axe, which itself has legal effect, and it is better to be cautious than Mayor Dou, and if there is no good reason, it is better to maintain the status quo. Second, conventionally speaking, if the resolutions made by the former leader when he presided over the work did not violate the party's principles and policies, and there were no mistakes in principle, it was better for the later leader not to go through the old accounts, because this would affect unity and work. Of course, I'm just giving you some advice as a member of the team, and I hope you will be able to take it on board. Li Jiatao said unceremoniously.

Dou Yangmin laughed before he tightened his face and said, "Thank you for your honesty." But since I proposed to do so, I naturally have my reasons. Last time, the Standing Committee of the Political Axe unanimously discussed and decided that the construction projects of all units should be submitted to the district political axe for unified supervision and unified bidding, and all units should not go their own way. Didn't you also actively express your support at that meeting? Since it was decided at the meeting, then we have to follow it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a matter of saying one thing and doing another? As for what you said about the resolution made by the previous leader that cannot be denied or overturned, I have my opinion. After the end of the Cultural Revolution, weren't there two big discussions? Later, under the guidance of the theory of seeking truth from facts, we still gave a negative to some wrong things? It is our party's principle that mistakes must be corrected, and nothing remains immutable. Take past tenders as an example, can you guarantee that they are open, fair and just? Some people have questioned me, and some people have said that there is a suspicion of being working in the dark, so we might as well do it again. If they still win the bid this time, it just plugs other people's mouths and makes that thing more transparent, what's wrong with that? ”

When Li Jiatao heard this, the fire in his heart became bigger. Li Jiatao heard the insinuation of himself from Dou Yangmin's words, and also heard the belittling of his personality.

Now that Dou Yangmin has opened his words, he has already torn his face, and Li Jiatao has no scruples!

"First of all, if the political axe doesn't start with the big things and do some trivial repetitive work, what's the point? Take winning the bid as an example, if you can win the bid last time, you may not be able to win this time. Just like the diving champion in the last Olympic Games, he may not be the next champion, and the results of the previous champion cannot be denied just because there is a new champion in the next session. Second, the construction projects of all units you mentioned shall be reported to the district government for unified supervision and bidding, and each unit shall not go its own way; I agreed with it at the last meeting, and now I also agree with it, and I did not say one thing and do another. What I said is that if it has already been tendered, it is not reasonable to take it back and engage in a second bidding. These are two different concepts, please don't get confused. Third, if the masses report that the past bidding was done in the dark, or that they traded money and power, this will involve the issue of anti-corruption and the building of a clean and honest government, and it should be promptly reported to the discipline inspection department for investigation and punishment. Let them do the affairs of the discipline inspection department, and they can't afford to let you, the acting district head, bother so much, do you think I'm right? ”

Li Jiatao also knew that these words must have poked Dou Yangmin's sore spot. It doesn't matter, it's okay to let Dou Yangmin feel pain!
