It was more than seven o'clock when Xie Jianping arrived at the canteen of the county party committee, and the master in the canteen was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. It seems that the "Hongmen Banquet" ended early. The situation is not good, how can it be over in only forty or fifty minutes, and I can't help but walk quickly to Zhou Qiushui's office.

At this time, Zhou Qiushui was restless, pacing back and forth in the office. The dinner party did not achieve the expected purpose, and the three of Liao Yingsheng drank some wine, but they drank rationally and restrainedly. Originally, they drank a lot of alcohol, and they were all arrogant, and they all changed their faces at night, and after politely toasting and returning to drink, they didn't drink no matter how much they were persuaded to drink. It can be seen that they are very precautionary, for fear of losing their words after drinking. After drinking it like this for dozens of minutes, Zhou Qiushui was disheartened and had to eat and leave. In Zhou Qiushui's view, Liao Yingsheng and the three of them are clearly uncooperative. Even if he had come out in person, the results would not have been much better. He wanted to call Wei Shaobo, head of the Organization Department of the Prefectural Party Committee, but he felt that it was difficult to speak, not to mention that the matter had not yet reached the point of completely giving up, so he picked up the phone again and again and put it down again and again. In the face of Wei Shaobo, he was in awe, and he had received too much support and help from Wei Shaobo over the years. came to Ping'an County to take office last year, and it was also sent by Wei Shaobo personally.

It is most appropriate to use the words "young people's ambition" on Zhou Qiushui. After graduating from Xi'an Jiaotong University, he started as the director of the office of the regional planning commission, then jumped to the regiment to appoint deputy secretary, and a few years later he was promoted to the director of the regional transportation bureau. To this day, he is still the youngest county-level substantive leader in the whole region, and how many people have sighed for this "heroes have come out of teenagers since ancient times". And he can have today, which is inseparable from the noble Wei Shaobo. The first leader after joining the work was Wei Shaobo, then director of the regional planning commission. A few years later, on the recommendation of Wei Shaobo, he successfully knocked on the door of the Youth League and the local committee. Later, he took the initiative to ask to be transferred from the prefectural committee of the regiment, and it was Wei Shaobo who strongly recommended him to the secretary of the prefectural party committee and once again took him under his command as the director of the transportation bureau. At that time, Wei Shaobo served as the deputy commissioner in charge of industrial communications.

Hearing the knock on the door of "Tuk, Tuk", Zhou Qiushui knew that Xie Jianping was here. He didn't say "please come in" as he usually treats others, but went to open the door in person, and sure enough, it was Xie Jianping. He is a careful person and finds that Xie Jianping's knocking on the door is different from others. Xie Jianping knocked on the door a little heavier than others, and the rhythm was particularly clear, first once, and then twice in a row.

Xie Jianping asked, "Secretary Zhou, how is the situation?" ”

"It's not good, judging from the dinner at night, they are determined to stir up the situation!" Zhou Qiushui shook his head.

Zhou Qiushui poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Xie Jianping: "I'm thinking about whether to report to Minister Wei, it's hard to speak!" ”

Xie Jianping took the teacup, blew open the tea leaves, and took a sip: "I see, it's not so strict." Let's talk to them one by one, maybe there will be a turnaround. ”

Zhou Qiushui smiled bitterly: "Hmph! Is it that simple? Tomorrow we have a meeting. ”

"Secretary Zhou, we can't give up lightly. If you can't talk about it in the evening, you will continue to talk tomorrow. If necessary, we can increase the agenda of the meeting, arrange for the people's congress deputies to inspect the county's key projects tomorrow, and postpone the election by one day. Xie Jianping said.

Zhou Qiushui said: "Time is not a problem, the question is where to start to break through and break their offensive and defensive alliances." ”

Xie Jianping thought for a while and said, "Some time ago, I reported to you that Liao Yingsheng once said on several occasions that he wanted to weigh his catties and see how many friends he had. ”

"I was careless, I didn't expect him to dare to come really!" Zhou Qiushui looked embarrassed.

Xie Jianping didn't mean to blame at all, but when he heard Zhou Qiushui say this, he was a little uncomfortable. I thought, careless? I'm a county magistrate, and I still chew my tongue? You Zhou Qiushui is a young man, you have a smooth career, you have always been arrogant and conceited, where did you think that officialdom is dangerous and unpredictable? When you took office last year, weren't you full of ambition and high spirits, in the past year, there have been a lot of things that have hit a wall and been scolded, it's time to wake up!

Before coming to Ping'an County in January last year, Zhou Qiushui spent a few days learning about the situation in all aspects of Ping'an County. He believes that the main reason why Ping An is in trouble is that the financial foundation is too weak. The financial difficulties are due to the fact that there are too few industrial enterprises, and in order to change this situation, it is necessary to start by focusing on industry. Ping An is a remote mountainous county, inconvenient transportation, only a secondary highway through the border, in addition to some wood and bamboo processing enterprises, it is rare to see a larger scale of enterprises, investment promotion work has become the top priority. He drew such a blueprint for Ping'an County: to build a high-standard industrial park with the strength of the whole county, and to mobilize the county's cadres to go out to attract investment. He felt that as long as the shortcomings of industry were tackled, the problem of financial difficulties would be solved. Contrary to Zhou Qiushui's high spirits, Xie Jianping, who had just been promoted from the post of deputy secretary of the county party committee, was worried and did not seem to feel the pleasure of promotion at all. Although he has not been working in Ping An for a long time, he is very familiar with the situation in the county. He is well aware of the crux of Ping An's financial difficulties, and he knows that these problems are not only difficult to solve in a short period of time, but may even worsen. At the same time, for Zhou Qiushui, the squad leader and partner, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He admits that Zhou Qiushui can speak well, has strong ability, and is sincere, but after all, he is young, has no experience in grassroots work, and he is inevitably happy in his career. He feels that at present, the most important thing is to be willing to be lonely and down-to-earth leaders, otherwise, it is an empty word to bring peace out of the predicament. On the tenth day of his arrival, Zhou Qiushui held an enlarged meeting of the whole committee of the county party committee and made a keynote report entitled "Struggle with Heavy Loads, Strive to Be the First, and Work Hard to Create a Safe and Beautiful Tomorrow". Everyone found that Zhou Qiushui was very eloquent, quick to respond, good at grasping the overall atmosphere of the venue, and just right to mobilize everyone's feelings. Many people whispered while holding a meeting that this secretary has a level and there is hope for Ping'an County. In this regard, Xie Jianping disagreed. Zhou Qiushui's eloquence he had learned many years ago, and he didn't feel fresh. As for Zhou Qiushui's plan to introduce 300 foreign-funded industrial enterprises in three years, he believes that it does not conform to reality and is even a fool's dream. In his opinion, a few years ago, Ping'an County took the initiative to take off the hat of "national poverty-stricken county", which is a typical crime of dying to save face. In any case, as a "national poor county", although the name is not good, it is very affordable, and tens of millions of poverty alleviation funds and project construction funds are pulled down by the superiors every year. If there is such money, Ping'an County will be able to take a breath and do a good job of the basic work. Think about it, talk about it. Xie Jianping still spoke highly of Zhou Qiushui's theme report when he made a summary of the meeting, and asked everyone to "deeply understand the spiritual connotation of Secretary Zhou's important speech after going back, implement the spirit of the meeting to the letter, lead the cadres and workers to do their own work well, create excellent work performance, and realize the historic leap in all aspects of work in Ping'an County, especially economic work." ”

Seeing that Xie Jianping was silent for most of the day, Zhou Qiushui estimated that Xie Jianping was thinking about who to break through first, so he asked tentatively: "You mean to talk to Liao Yingsheng first?" ”

Xie Jianping took a sip of tea: "I estimate that Liao Yingsheng's bottom line is the position of director of the Forestry Bureau, and if he can't do it, he will agree to him." You tell me? ”

Zhou Qiushui said: "It's not bad that the matter can be solved like this at this point, I'm afraid that any of them will bite and not let go." ”

Xie Jianping's hand knocked lightly on the coffee table: "As long as Liao Yingsheng is taken down, everything will be fine!" ”
