"The provincial government of Qi Province, which is hundreds of kilometers away, knows the situation of Guishui County and Shanyin City well, has an accurate pulse, and stands so high, not only I, the secretary of the municipal party committee who has worked in Shanyin City for several years, but also the grassroots cadres who were born and raised, also feel ashamed." After a short pause, Tao Ran looked at the other side and said sincerely: "Governor Qi was shocked as soon as he opened his mouth, not only from his vision and sense of the overall situation, but also from his concern for the people in the mountainous areas, as well as his strong sense of mission and responsibility. This is a valuable quality that every cadre here should earnestly study, and it is also a huge gap between us and him. ”

Although Tao Ran said with sincerity on his face, he quickly felt the strange look in everyone's eyes, and he quickly realized the serious problem in his words. As the governor of the provincial government, Qi Tianxiang's position and rank are above him, but from his words, there is an evaluation of Qi Tianxiang, which is an offense or even a condescending injury in any case. Such a mistake is absolutely unacceptable, and it is also a statement that he wants to be unconventional too much, and after understanding this, Tao Ran hurriedly made up for it.

"Of course, I am guilty of contempt for a provincial leader with superior knowledge and ability, but this is my heart's words, and it is also my most essential expression of intention. If there is any offense, please also ask Governor Qi for forgiveness. Tao Ran turned his face a little uneasy, looked at Qi Tianxiang seriously, and said frankly: "From what you just said, I deeply feel ashamed and uneasy. Whether it is the overall economic and social development of Sanyin City, or the ideas and explorations to change the appearance of the mountainous area, I do not have a thorough understanding of you, let alone be able to reach your height and insight. This is what I really mean, and what I really mean. ”

Seeing a slight smile on Qi Tianxiang's face, Tao Ran seemed to have some confidence, and then turned to the cadres of Guishui County opposite: "Governor Qi has drawn a grand blueprint for Guishui County, which not only has the convenience of greatly improving transportation, but also the huge economic benefits brought by water conservancy and hydropower projects, which can effectively drive the planning and adjustment of mountainous towns and towns, especially the relocation work, which will play a huge role in promoting the people in mountainous areas to get rid of poverty and become rich." This is not only the gospel of the people of Guishui County, but also the booster of the development of Shanyin City, which will drive the pace of the city's economic transformation and upgrading and bring new opportunities. ”

"Sanyin City is located in the southwest mountainous area of our province, with a thin foundation and poor foundation, which are well-known reasons. There are very big factors restricting economic development by transportation, and it is also very difficult for the people to improve their living standards. Tao Ran continued to play his topic, his expression towards everyone became serious, and his tone was more solemn: "The provincial party committee put me in the position of secretary of the municipal party committee, and handed over the life and well-being of more than four million people to me. Over the past few years, I have been actively planning all the time, and I have done everything possible to change the poor and backward appearance of Sanyin City, but due to the problems existing in Sanyin City, as well as the factors of the internal and external development environment, especially the inherent thinking patterns existing in the cadres, the changes in Shanyin City have not been very great, and there is still a big gap between the requirements of the provincial party committee and the hopes of the broad masses of the people. This cannot but be said to be a serious work mistake, an unforgivable problem, and an inseparable from my personal inability. ”

Tao Ran is self-critical in retreat, and cleverly avoids some sensitive issues, let alone mentioning the substantive contradictions. This is also the strategy he adopted to judge the situation, Qi Tianxiang does not represent the provincial party committee, let alone override Lin Dongsheng at will, the last time such a serious environmental pollution incident, Qi Tianxiang did not start the accountability mechanism, this time it is even more impossible to take any measures, and if you want to make a difference in Shanyin City, you will still encounter many unexpected problems when you leave the municipal party committee and the municipal government, which he will not be unclear. What needs to be done now is to catch Mao Zhigang, as long as he, the mayor, does not defect, even if Qi Tianxiang wants to make a big move, he has no way to start, and in the end he still has to rely on the cooperation and support of him, the secretary of the municipal party committee.

For Mao Zhigang, the mayor, Tao Ran is confident that he can still control it, except for the critical moment when Mao Zhigang's deputy is corrected, he has made a good effort, otherwise he may still be relegated to the deputy position with the title of executive deputy mayor now, and it is still difficult to say whether there is a chance to correct it.

Tao Ran parachuted from the post of executive deputy director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission to the secretary of the Shanyin Municipal Party Committee, which is a kind of adaptation to sit at the level of the main department, in fact, there is no idea of working in the poor place of Shanyin City for a long time, and if you want to make a difference, you still have to return to the province, so that there may be more room for growth.

But in the next year, the situation in the province changed, Lin Dongsheng replaced Zhao Haonan as the provincial party committee, and sat firmly in the position of secretary of the provincial party committee, and the governor became Chen Nengliang, a financial expert from Beijing. Lin Dongsheng's previous implementation of multiple economic situations go hand in hand, focusing on the development of the urban economy and project-driven measures, which are not at all in the vision of the new governor, but focus on driving economic growth with investment, pay attention to the amplification effect of investment and finance, and focus on urban construction and real estate industries that can bring funds to seek after, and have produced very good results.

It is precisely because of the great change in the guidelines of the new governor that Tao Ran, a project expert who was once trusted and pinned on by Lin Dongsheng, was snubbed by Chen Nengliang, not only because of his project application and organizational skills, but also because of Shanyin City, a city far away in the southwest mountainous area, which is not in the vision and mind of the new governor.

It was with such a change that seeing that there was no hope of returning to the provincial capital in the short term, Tao Ran's heart slowly sank, and he also began to examine and manage his existence in San'in City. When he first came, he had no intention of working for a long time, and Tao Ran paid little attention to the pattern of party and government cadres in Shanyin City, and even for a while Tao Ran was reluctant to appear in Shanyin City, believing that as long as the name of the secretary of the municipal party committee existed, he did not have to worry about the affairs of Sanyin City at all.

Such views and thoughts are based on the existence of Sanyin Mayor Zhang Enfei, an old mayor who has rich grassroots work experience and has been in the position of mayor for nearly ten years. With the helm of this veteran mayor, there will be no major deviations, and Zhang Enfei has passed the age of competitiveness, and there will be no threat to the position of secretary of the municipal party committee.

But after the changes in the province, it is no longer realistic for Tao Ran to stay in the provincial capital for a long time, so he can only honestly and unwillingly return to Shanyin City as a secretary, that is, after he really buried his head and came back, he found that Zhang Enfei's tentacles and power were completely beyond his imagination, not to mention the decision of major policies, that is, the transplantation of a row of scenic street trees, and it was difficult for him, the secretary of the municipal party committee, to decide.

Surprised, Tao Ran began to fight back steadily, or in his words, to regain lost ground, with his rich experience and vision in officialdom, after careful selection and judgment, Mao Zhigang entered his field of vision, becoming an ideal candidate for him to use and restrain Zhang Enfei.

Mao Zhigang was able to attract Tao Ran's attention, and it was also his consistent method of snaring his cronies for many years, that is, flawed cadres were easier to control, and they could be used by him with all their hearts. When the water is clear, there is no fish, and if people have no desire, they are flawless, and only by identifying everyone's weaknesses and lives can they be firmly controlled and driven. It is precisely on the basis of this understanding and means that Tao Ran has tried and tested many such flawed cadres over the years, and has also recruited some cadres who obey his orders.

Mao Zhigang is such a cadre, and the report letters he received and the clues about the problems transferred by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection all point to the problems of Mao Zhigang, the deputy mayor, and the long-term unclear relationship with several women in the government, the many houses in Shanyin City and the provincial capital, the problems in many projects in the county party secretary's tenure, and the confused accounts that have passed through his hands. You don't need to think about these problems to know what is behind them, and what will be the result of the investigation once you let go of it, but Tao Ran suppressed these problems and ordered that Lu Hang, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, should not be greedy for merit, and everything should be uniformly deployed and decided by the municipal party committee.

Lu Hang was Tao Ran's subordinate when he was in the Provincial Organ Affairs Administration, and it can be said that he was kind to him, although Lu Hang was the deputy mayor of Shanyin City after that, they didn't have too much contact, but Lu Hang couldn't help but consider it, plus he was also dissatisfied with Zhang Enfei's single-handed style of covering the sky, so he didn't dare to face Tao Ran too much.

When Tao Ran put the relevant materials in front of Mao Zhigang one by one, Mao Zhigang's panic and uneasiness gave Tao Ran a great sense of satisfaction, but the greater satisfaction was Mao Zhigang's expression of gratitude, as well as the effectiveness of the pawn later. In return, Mao Zhigang's issue was never raised again, and Mao Zhigang's position as deputy mayor was added to the title of executive director soon after.

After a few seemingly uneventful battles, Zhang Enfei was quickly defeated, and obediently raised the white flag with early retirement, which also put an end to this political wrestling in Shanyin City. The tree fell and scattered, Zhang Enfei withdrew from the political stage, and Tao Ran's reconquest of lost territory went very smoothly, not only taking advantage of the power of the secretary of the municipal party committee to recommend Mao Zhigang to take over the mayoral position, but also firmly fixed the pattern of a dominant family.

Although he is not completely satisfied, Tao Ran is still full of confidence in the control of Shanyin City, especially for Mao Zhigang, he is even more confident, because he not only has kindness to him, but also firmly holds his life.
