Wei Wei never thought that Dou Yangmin, the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Liusha City, would come to Yuhua District as the acting district head. When Wei Wei learned the news, he almost collapsed.

But at this time, Wei Wei had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky.

Seeing that he was a little distracted, Ou Dongping said seriously: "It's different, this decision is really unexpected, I have already recommended you to the municipal party committee, but I didn't expect the final decision to be like this." Now that the municipal party committee has already decided, we can only resolutely obey the decision of the municipal party committee and actively support the work of Comrade Dou Yangmin. ”

Wei Wei knew that Ou Dongping was telling the truth, and he believed that Ou Dongping would rather use his familiar subordinates than choose outsiders who had nothing to do with him.

In the same way, Ou Dongping said it to Li Jiatao again. Although Li Jiatao once thought that he might pick up this big pie, he had already been mentally prepared. Of course, the idea of walking in officialdom and progressing is very strong for everyone. It's just that since things have come to this point, Li Jiatao must also face up to the reality and make it clear to Ou Dongping, and he can't let him have ideas.

So, Li Jiatao smiled bitterly: "Thank you secretary for cultivating me, my qualifications are not enough, if you want to go up, it should be different secretaries first." No matter who will be the head of the district, I will, as always, obey the leadership of the district committee and do my job well. ”

"That's good, that's good. You are still young, you have opportunities, don't worry about everything. After Comrade Dou Yangmin came, he must not be familiar with the situation in Yuhua District, and sometimes you have to support and cooperate with his work. Ou Dongping said.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely support him." Li Jiatao hurriedly said.

Passing by the door of the deputy secretary's office, Li Jiatao saw Wei Wei "happeningly" standing at the door, so he smiled and said hello.

"Come to my office and sit for a while before leaving, what's the hurry?" Wei Wei sent out an invitation.

Li Jiatao had no choice but to follow Wei Wei into the office.

Wei Wei personally made a cup of tea for Li Jiatao, put it in front of him, and said, "Got it?" ”

Li Jiatao nodded and smiled reluctantly: "I know, the district secretary just revealed to me that he asked me to cooperate with the acting district head at that time." ”

Wei Wei also smiled bitterly: "Yes, no matter who it is, if the organization is arranged, we have to fully cooperate." ”

Li Jiatao obviously felt that Wei Wei was not confident enough when he spoke, and he was definitely not telling the truth, so he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic, so he said: "I always think it's you, and it's time for you to go, I said the same thing in front of the district secretary just now, but I didn't expect it to be airborne." ”

Wei Wei naturally knew that what Li Jiatao said might not be sincere, but it sounded very comfortable. Before, Wei Wei already knew that he didn't have much hope, so he tried to stop Li Jiatao, for fear that he would take a step ahead of him. Although this goal has now been achieved, when the new acting district chief parachuted down from the city, Wei Wei was still a little disappointed.

"Thank you Jiatao, the current society is like this, there is nothing that should not be done. The above reuses you, and that's how it should be. If you don't reuse, you just shouldn't. I expected that I wouldn't be able to go up, and I hoped that you wouldn't be able to do it, but I didn't expect it to be such a result. ”

Li Jiatao was disdainful in his heart: Where do you Wei Wei want me to go? It was precisely because he was afraid that I would go up that he pushed me to the cusp. However, although Li Jiatao was a little entangled this time, after all, he wasted a great opportunity. However, this also brought Li Jiatao an unexpected gain, that is, public opinion became popular, and more leaders knew the name of Li Jiatao.

This is a prelude, and laying this foundation will always be beneficial to Li Jiatao.

"Where can I do it? I don't have enough qualifications, so I don't dare to expect it at all, I just hope that you will follow in your footsteps, but I didn't expect a Dou Yangmin to come. Li Jiatao said casually.

Wei Wei's heart suddenly moved, and a not very clear thought appeared in his heart, and then gradually enlarged.

This demolition incident wanted to put Li Jiatao in a dilemma and fall into a political laughing stock, but he didn't expect Li Jiatao to really work hard and win a good reputation among the people and the media.

Although individual leaders above may be dissatisfied with this, the masses below are very supportive, and the popularity index has been rising. Some people even say that the current Li Jiatao is more famous and well-known in Yuhua District than Ou Dongping, Secretary of the District Party Committee!

Wei Wei is thinking that Li Jiatao is already the focus of the news. As for Dou Yangmin, it turned out that he was just an unknown deputy department-level cadre in the city, and it was impossible for him to achieve remarkable results in a short period of time when he came to Yuhua District, let alone win a good reputation and a super high popularity index. What if in another four months, only half of the votes at the district people's congress are replaced by the ultra-popular Li Jiatao?

Wei Wei can't rule out this possibility!

In the annual elections across the country, there are always things that are difficult for the local Standing Committee to predict. If that's the case, it couldn't be better. The first is that Dou Yangmin will definitely not be able to stay in Yuhua District, and the second is that although Li Jiatao was selected on his back, if he is not the person designated by the party committee, he is destined to have no good fruits to eat. At that time, the leadership team of Yuhua District will be reorganized, and maybe he will get unexpected gains in this kind of change.

Thinking of this, Wei Wei wanted to dial Li Jiatao: "Jiatao, have you thought about it, in four months it will be the National People's Congress, and if Dou Yangmin comes, it is impossible to have a very good mass foundation." And your popularity is now booming, and it can't be ruled out that you will be chosen by accident when the time comes. ”

Li Jiatao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible." ”

Elections are a sensitive topic, and local party committees attach great importance to them during the two sessions every year. Once there is a deviation in the election, the party committee below will inevitably be blamed after the investigation from above, and the person who was accidentally elected, although he is also recognized, he will definitely have a bad time in the future.

Li Jiatao knows the seriousness of this matter, and he also knows that this is a minefield, and he has to take political risks if he does it.

Regardless of whether Wei Wei said it casually or intentionally, Li Jiatao didn't want to get into trouble because of this, so he said with a smile: "The election is still early, generally speaking, there will be no accidents in the equal election, if there are really any signs, we will do more positive work at that time, and there will be no accidents." ”

Wei Wei was slightly embarrassed: "That's, that's." ”

Li Jiatao felt that it would be a little boring to continue, so he said that he had something to say goodbye and left.

———— the dividing line ———— TV station, the news footage of the TV station's beautiful reporter interviewing Li Jiatao, the executive deputy head of Yuhua District and the acting head of the district, is being broadcast.

The beautiful reporter chose the camera angle, and then said to the camera: "My current location is the city garden community, everyone sees the villa behind me, which is the illegal building ordered by the district government axe to be demolished, a month ago, the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee, the acting district head, and the executive deputy head Li Jiatao once made a public commitment to everyone here, we must demolish the illegal buildings, and give the people a satisfactory answer." Mayor Li's promise has become a reality today, at this time, everyone look at the scene behind me, the workers of the urban construction and demolition team are demolishing illegal buildings. I believe that the Yuhua District will be better and more beautiful in the future. It just so happens that District Chief Li also came to inspect, of course we will not miss such an interview opportunity, so please follow our lens to see what District Mayor Li has to say. ”

Saying that, she came to Li Jiatao: "District Mayor Li, the illegal building began to be demolished today, seeing this scene, I don't know how you feel?" ”

Li Jiatao said into the microphone: "A month ago, I publicly promised you here that we can demolish the illegal buildings of the common people, and why can't we demolish the illegal buildings of the rich?" I have this determination and confidence, and under the correct leadership of the district party committee, I will definitely give a satisfactory answer to the people of Yuhua District. Today, I still firmly believe that as long as we administer according to law, there will be no illegal buildings that cannot be demolished. Illegal buildings are not terrible, what is terrible is the illegal buildings in the heart, as long as the illegal buildings in the heart are broken, any suffering is not a problem. I am very grateful to the media, the general public and people from all walks of life for their support and supervision of our political work, our work is not the best, only better! ”

Li Jiatao's words are high-sounding and righteous. But in fact, the more Li Jiatao spoke, the more he felt that he was lacking in confidence, and after he finished speaking, he felt a fever on his face, which he had never felt before.

Li Jiatao also knew that this was not his original intention, but out of helplessness and forced by the situation, he had to do it.

But in the era, there are many falsehoods everywhere, and how many people tell the truth? It is not wrong for a leader to tell a lie, it is a mistake to say a lie as a lie, and a real master can tell a lie as if it were true.

Gao Dongyang, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Chunan Province, sat on the sofa in the living room at home and watched TV, nodding frequently, and didn't know what he was expressing.

When the news ended, Gao Dongyang dialed Li Jiatao's mobile phone: "Jiatao, you are still very photogenic." ”

As soon as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee opened his mouth, he teased him, Li Jiatao was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Please criticize and correct the chief." ”

"Jiatao." Gao Dongyang got to the point, "This time, Governor Deming originally wanted to say hello to the Liusha Municipal Party Committee, and Comrade Sun Daoming, Secretary of the Liusha Municipal Party Committee, originally wanted to promote you. But I stopped them. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Dongyang deliberately paused.

"Secretary Gao, thank you." Li Jiatao didn't think about it, and said immediately.

"Honestly?" Gao Dongyang laughed.

"Really." Li Jiatao said very earnestly: "My qualifications are too shallow, and I still need to hone more and do some practical things." As the leader of the political axe, he still has no strength. ”

"Well, I'm relieved that you can think like this." Gao Dongyang is very satisfied with Li Jiatao's attitude, "The most important thing is to do your job well, if you have the right opportunity, the organization will give you a bigger platform to reflect your own value." ”

"Thank you, Secretary Gao." Li Jiatao hurriedly said.

"During this time, you have done a good job, and several leaders of the Liusha Municipal Party Committee have spoken highly of you." Gao Dongyang said, "This is very good, there will always be bread, and I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." ”

After speaking, Gao Dongyang hung up the phone.

Li Jiatao was stunned for a long time, a little confused. Gao Dongyang's words seem to be very casual, but they reveal enough information. From Gao Dongyang's words, Li Jiatao felt that he was afraid that the time he spent in Yuhua District would not be very long, and there were really few people who could guess what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the officialdom godfather of Chunan Province.

However, no matter what, Gao Dongyang's words expressed enough goodwill, and it would not be wrong to understand it as an olive branch.

———— the dividing line———— time passed quickly, and before I knew it, at the end of the year, there was a heavy snowfall in Chunan Province, and the weather suddenly became extremely cold.

On the second day after the snow, Dou Yangmin went to Yuhua District accompanied by Yang Jian, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Organization, and then, Minister Yang read out the people's letter of the Municipal Party Committee at the meeting of cadres at and above the section level in the whole district, and appointed Dou Yangmin as deputy secretary of the Yuhua District Party Committee and acting head of the district.

After the meeting, the district party committee arranged a dinner. The seating order of the dinner party is the same as the seating order of the meeting, and they are all particular, and it goes without saying that everyone knows where to sit and who should not sit. Appreciation of nature is none other than Yang Jian, the Minister of Organization, on both sides of Minister Yang, in turn: on the left are District Dongping, Wei Wei, and the Organization Minister of the District Committee. On the right are Dou Yangmin, Li Jiatao, the secretary of the District Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the director of the district party committee and the director of the propaganda department.

Ou Dongping glanced at it, and then picked up his wine glass: "The members of the four major teams have arrived, in order to pick up the dust for Minister Yang, and in order to welcome the arrival of Comrade Dou Yangmin, let's have a toast together." ”

As soon as Ou Dongping's words fell, everyone stood up one after another and raised their glasses. After touching each other, except for Yang Jian, everyone else did it.

"Minister Yang should drink more." Ou Dongping said with a smile.

"I have to take it easy, I don't eat and drink." Yang Jian waved his hand and smiled slightly.

Ou Dongping naturally didn't dare to persuade him to drink again, so he persuaded Yang Jian to move his chopsticks first. As soon as Yang Jian moved, the others followed suit.

Wine is like music in a ballroom, the glue between people. With a few glasses of white wine, the atmosphere on the table slowly relaxed.

Yang Jian picked up his glass: "Come, I will take the wine of the district secretary today and toast you." First, Comrade Dou Yangmin has just arrived, and he is not familiar with the situation in all aspects, so I hope you will give more support and do a good job in team building. Second, the Spring Festival is coming, and I would like to give you an early year, wishing you good health and family reunion. ”

As soon as Yang Jian's words were finished, everyone raised their glasses and clinked glasses with Yang Jian.

After a round of drinking, pause for a while. Dou Yangmin stood up with a glass of wine again: "I'll toast everyone alone, first give a toast to Minister Yang, thank you very much Minister Yang for your concern for me, and hope that Minister Yang will often come to Yuhua District in the future to guide our work." Minister Yang is at will, and I will do it first as a respect. ”

"Good, good." Yang Jian picked up the wine glass, touched it with Dou Yangmin, and drank a little symbolically, but Dou Yangmin tilted his neck and drank to the sky.

Then, Dou Yangmin toasted Ou Dongping, Wei Wei, Li Jiatao and others one by one, and almost all of what he said was on the scene.

When it was Li Jiatao's turn to toast, Dou Yangmin patted Li Jiatao on the shoulder cordially: "Jiatao, we can build a team together, this is fate, I hope you will support me a lot in the future." ”

"District Chief Dou, you are my direct leader, in the future, you will criticize when you should criticize in your work, and you will issue tasks when you should be assigned, and you will be subordinate and subordinate in your work, don't have any worries." Li Jiatao responded with a smile.

"Jiatao's attitude is good." Yang Jian suddenly interjected and said, "Jiatao, you have done a very good job during this time, and the leaders of the municipal party committee are very sure. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Li Jiatao hurriedly said.

The rules at the wine table are like this, when others toast you, you have to toast others, especially to the main leaders. You can't ask the other person to finish it, but you have to finish it yourself.

When Li Jiatao toasted Yang Jian, Yang Jian was actually very face-saving and drank the wine in one go. This also made the leaders of Yuhua District here murmur in their hearts, why did Yang Jian only express his expression all the time, but took the initiative to show favor to Li Jiatao?

In fact, Li Jiatao himself doesn't know the reason, is it because he is handsome? But Yang Jian is a middle-aged man.

After this meal, Li Jiatao changed from the temporary number one of the political axe to the original second in command, and there was inevitably a sense of loss in his heart, as if he was holding back a breath of anger, and he didn't know who gave this anger and where to send it.

After the banquet, everyone sent Yang Jian to the room, and then sent Dou Yangmin to the room. After everyone shook hands and said goodbye, Dou Yangmin grabbed Li Jiatao's hand and said, "If you want to have nothing to do, sit down for a while." ”

Li Jiatao has not yet expressed his position, and Ou Dongping said: "In the future, Jiatao will support Yangmin's work more, and it is good to talk together." ”

Li Jiatao smiled and beckoned to everyone.

Dou Yangmin was busy making tea for Li Jiatao, and said: "Brother, the arrangement of the municipal party committee this time is too sudden, and the organization only talked to me about this matter two days before the following. ”

Li Jiatao thought to himself: You just pretend, I don't know how much money you spent to get this position, and now you are pretending to be pure in front of me.

Dou Yangmin said again: "To be honest, I also have some concerns when I come to Yuhua District. Don't come, it's decided to stop. Come on, let your brother lose a chance to come, and my heart is also very entangled. So, please understand, brother. ”

When Li Jiatao heard this, he felt a little more comfortable. Actually, this son is not reserved for one person, whoever grabs it is whoever's. Comparing hearts to hearts, it is not easy for Dou Yangmin to be able to say this, especially a mouthful of an old brother, so that you have nothing to say.

"District Chief Dou, you must not think like this, if you don't come here to be the district chief, there is Wei Wei in front of me, and this son will not be my turn. So, you must not have any worries, since the organization gives it, you should be, there is nothing to be humble. Li Jiatao said with a smile.

"With your words, brother, I am relieved. In the future, I will have your support and cooperation. Dou Yangmin seemed very sincere.

Li Jiatao knew that Dou Yangmin, like himself, covered his face with wine, so he said things that were difficult to say when he was sober.

"No problem, don't worry, in terms of age, you are older than me. In terms of position, you are higher than me, and I will support your work at any time. ”
