I haven't seen Zhu Xinfeng for a long time, and after receiving a call from Zhu Xinfeng in person, Liu Zhenji was a little excited and had some expectations. This time the appearance seems to be casual, but with Liu Zhenji's understanding of the old leader, it is no accident. In the morning, the Provincial Party Committee held the first batch of summary and commendation meetings of "Maintaining the Advanced Educational Activities", which was attended by the main leaders and organization ministers of all districted cities and cities with separate provincial plans. Liu Zhenji was about to go home, and Zhu Xinfeng called him to meet at four o'clock in the afternoon. When Liu Zhenji arrived at Zhu Xinfeng's office, Zhang Shouzhuo got up and left, full of spring breeze. The two shook hands and greeted each other, and Zhang Shouclumsy patted him on the shoulder meaningfully.

"Zhenji, have you been in Dengcheng for three years?" Zhu Xinfeng asked, sitting calmly on the wide soft leather sofa, smiling.

Liu Zhenji nodded: "It's been more than three years, and time flies so fast." After that, he picked up the thermos and filled Zhu Xinfeng's vacuum thermos cup with water, and poured himself another cup of tea.

Zhu Xinfeng looked directly at Liu Zhenji: "Recently, the provincial party committee is preparing to adjust a group of cadres, and you have been in Dengcheng for three or four years, I want to hear your thoughts." ”

"I have been in Dengcheng for more than three years, and I can't talk about any dazzling political achievements, but the overall is not bad, at least I have done my best." Liu Zhenji said. Listening to Zhu Xinfeng's tone, his position may be adjusted.

"Dengcheng has maintained a high growth trend in recent years, ranking first among the top ten counties in the province for two consecutive years. It should be said that your leadership team, especially you and Nguyen Chengxiang, played a key role. You've done a great job as squad leader! The level of competence has improved, especially the ability to take charge of oneself. Zhu Xinfeng said.

Liu Zhenji said: "Thank you, leader! Thank you for giving me such a great platform. ”

Zhu Xinfeng thought for a moment and said slowly: "Originally, I considered directly promoting you to the position of mayor of the prefecture city, but this time it is a fine-tuning, there is only one position, you may have to hone and wait for the next opportunity." ”

Liu Zhenji's heart sank, could it be that Zhu Xinfeng met him just to comfort him? This is not Zhu Xinfeng's style. However, "waiting for the next opportunity" means that there is no hope this time.

Zhu Xinfeng paused slightly, and then said: "The Yihe Municipal Party Committee recommended you to be the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. I think you can do the economic work, and it is more suitable on the side of the government. ”

"My situation, the leader you know best, let the leader bother." Liu Zhenji said. Until now, he still hasn't figured out what Zhu Xinfeng meant.

Zhu Xinfeng picked up the vacuum cup and took a sip of tea: "If you are willing, I will recommend you to Secretary Ling Chun and the provincial party committee as a candidate for the executive vice mayor of Songzhou City." Songzhou is a big city, and there are many opportunities for exercise. ”

The mystery is revealed! Who will take over Deng Cheng, Ruan Chengxiang?

Liu Zhenji said: "I obey the leader's arrangement. Did Deng Cheng take over by Cheng Xiang? ”

Zhu Xinfeng nodded: "Ruan Chengxiang took over the municipal party committee, and he is not also a member of the Standing Committee of the Yihe Municipal Party Committee for the time being." You've been working with him for a few years, what do you think of this person? ”

Overall, they're doing well. But Liu Zhenji felt that Ruan Chengxiang was sometimes eager for quick success, and even unscrupulous.

Seeing that Liu Zhenji was silent, Zhu Xinfeng said: "In front of me, there is something to say." ”

Liu Zhenji said with a smile: "Hehe, leader, how to say it, Chengxiang is very capable, especially the ability to create a situation." ”

Zhu Xinfeng said: "I know this, how is the character?" ”

Liu Zhenji said: "......, he is very self-motivated, his brain is very active, and there are many ways. ”

"Are there any people you associate with?" Zhu Xinfeng asked.

Liu Zhenji said: "In my eyes, it is a little miscellaneous. Maybe I'm too conservative, but capable people always have a bit of personality and a broader vision. ”

Zhu Xinfeng raised his eyes and looked out the window: "For a leading cadre, the circle of friends is very important. The materialistic environment is a severe test for everyone. In a big way, the circle of friends determines how far you can go, and even your life and death. Of course, you're right, capable people often have personalities, and we have to be tolerant. To put it a little bigger, the living conditions of an official with a flamboyant personality reflect the tolerance of our political ecology. ”

Liu Zhenji sighed: "Leader, you said it too well! ”

Although Zhu Xinfeng did not praise Ruan Chengxiang, it can be heard that Zhu Xinfeng basically approves of Ruan Chengxiang, perhaps because Kong Lingchun appreciates him.

"The main leaders of the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee will also be adjusted. For the prefectural and municipal leadership team, a good squad leader is the key. Zhu Xinfeng returned to the topic.

A good squad leader with kindness? Zhang Shouchou? Liu Zhenji suddenly remembered Zhang Shouzhuo, whom he had just met.

Seeing Liu Zhenji's suspicious face, Zhu Xinfeng said: "You don't have to guess who it is, after all, it hasn't been submitted to the meeting for discussion." ”

With that, Zhu Xinfeng's eyes swept towards the huge desk.

Liu Zhenji knew that it was time for him to go, so he stood up: "Thank you for your great kindness!" I'll go back to Dengcheng. ”

Zhu Xinfeng also stood up: "Go back, if there is anything to deal with, it will be settled soon." ”

Experience is capital, vision is wealth. When Liu Zhenji returned to Dengcheng, he found that Zhu Xinfeng's reminder was not redundant, and there were really a lot of things to deal with. In any case, he has been in Deng Cheng for more than three years, and he is no longer an outsider who has no stake in Deng Cheng. His departure and stay was a major event in the life of the people of Dengcheng. For example, Ai Riqiang, who served you for three years with the pen of the deputy director of the Political Research Office www.biquge.info but didn't even get mixed up with a director, how can it be reasonable? For example, when the restructuring of your coal mine was the most difficult, people spent a lot of money to buy the most difficult coal mine, and the city government promised to compensate him for the old city renovation project, but the demolition and relocation were messed up and delayed, and there has been no follow-up to this day. For example, Zhao Ang, who did tens of millions of landscaping projects, only got a few million yuan in project money, and was overwhelmed by the bank's loan interest ....... Also, some red envelopes and gifts should not be dealt with quickly. On the ruling side, the power is in hand, and there will always be people who please you, buy you, and tempt you. You should know what money can be collected, what money should be returned, what can be done, what should be refused, and what should be delayed....... The gift bags for the New Year's festival are similar to the ancient ice and charcoal, and everyone is not surprised to see them. Although the rebate of the project payment is an unspoken rule, it is hidden danger. When he became a prince, he really tasted what it was like to be an official. Not to mention interfering in project contracting and engineering construction, not to mention cadre promotion and personnel transfer, just during the New Year's holidays, there is an endless stream of people who come to give gifts, so that you are overwhelmed. With a population of more than 1 million and more than 40 townships and towns under its jurisdiction, and more than 100 units directly under the municipal government, the most conservative estimate is that there are more than 200 people who go to the principal leaders of the municipal party committee and government to pay New Year's greetings and send festivals. With the customs of Dengcheng, the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival are most important. The Spring Festival gift is the so-called "New Year's greeting", and the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are called "sending festivals". Based on the calculation of 2,000 yuan per person per year and festival, only the ceremonial red envelopes can receive at least one million yuan a year. In other words, even if the principal leaders of a county or city are not involved in engineering and personnel affairs, they can easily earn more than 1 million yuan a year. In the first year of coming to Dengcheng, he was stunned by two or three hundred red envelopes, and tried to return or hand them over to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, but soon found that this road was impassable. Others don't understand why you are like this, and every time you return a red envelope, people will feel uneasy and think that you are distancing themselves from him. Having walked in the political circles for many years, he knows very well that the so-called mass foundation is, in the final analysis, the foundation of middle-level cadres, and without these people to support you, you will soon run into walls everywhere. Besides, if you are desperately returning the red envelope alone, where do you put other leaders, is it not you, Liu Zhenji, a clean official in the world? ! Later, he regularly donated the money he received to Project Hope and the Charity Federation.

The matter of red envelopes and gifts can be handed over to Ai Riqiang, so what else is there? Let's go to the poverty alleviation village of the hanging point for the last time, the Yingbin Avenue Construction and Economic Center Construction Coordination Conference will be held again, and he will go to the industrial development zone again, these will be his last appearance before leaving Dengcheng. Also, next week, the Municipal Association of Old Cadres organized a gateball match, and he didn't plan to attend, but now he has changed his mind - after the political voice is gone, and the old cadres are an important force in commenting on your gains and losses in politics.

In fact, the provincial party committee did not give him that much time. On the fourth day after Liu Zhenji returned from the provincial capital, the provincial party committee held a standing committee to appoint and dismiss a number of cadres. Without any suspense, he was transferred to the Standing Committee of the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee and executive vice mayor. As expected, Zhang Shouchou was transferred to the top of the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee. Yu Sihai got his wish and became the leader of the Qingchuan Municipal Party Committee, and the mayor was succeeded by Huang Shanyu, deputy secretary general of the provincial party committee.

The dust settled, but Liu Zhenji lost sleep. He couldn't help but think of a joke, life is a piece of paper! Studying for a diploma is a paper diploma, work adjustment is an appointment, and job promotion is nothing more than a piece of paper jiàn....... Looking back on the ups and downs of the Huan Sea in the past few years, he feels that God has a good eye for him. The transfer to the executive vice mayor of Songzhou, which is the largest city in the province in terms of population and economic aggregate is second only to the provincial capital Longxing City, ******** has always served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Although Zhang Shouzhuo has not yet concurrently served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, a discerning person can see at a glance that when the provincial leadership is re-elected, it will definitely be a matter of course. In other words, as the executive vice mayor of Songzhou, there is a high probability of being promoted to be the mayor. Besides, there is more than enough than the top. Compared with Yu Sihai, who has been proud of the spring breeze in recent years, he is slightly inferior. But compared with Zhou Qiushui, it can be called smooth sailing. It is said that this time, Zhou Qiushui went through great pains to find the leaders of the provincial party committee, but the result was only a small step forward - transferred to the Standing Committee of the Qingchuan Municipal Party Committee and the head of the Propaganda Department. And the post of propaganda minister is like chicken ribs, tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon it. Think about it back then, when you Liu Zhenji was the head of the organization department of the county party committee, you were the top ...... of the county party committee with old qualifications. What kind of person is Zhang Shouzhuo? Although he knew Zhang Shouzhuo, he hadn't dealt with him a few times, so he didn't know what kind of "kind person" he was. Maybe you can learn from Yu Sihai, or even ask Yu Sihai to speak. This is the case in officialdom, where the proximity of personal relations means taking the initiative to show favor or take refuge, and quickly becoming a person in a small circle. Thinking about it, he felt that it was most ideal to meet Zhang Shou before he went to Songzhou to take office. Of course, it depends on chance. After all, it will be announced next Monday, and tomorrow will be Friday.

Things are surprisingly smooth, and on Saturday the Provincial Museum held the "Wu Mingshui Calligraphy Exhibition". Calligrapher Wu Mingshui lived in Beijing, when he was young, he studied the scriptures and Wei tablets of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and then loved Huang Tingjian's calligraphy, and studied it all the year round. Liu Zhenji knew that Zhang Shouzhuo could write well, and Yu Sihai was also very interested in calligraphy, so he asked Yu Sihai to invite Zhang Shouzhuo to watch the exhibition together.

Wu Mingshui has a good reputation, and it is the second day of the book fair, and there are many people coming. Zhang Shouzhuo, dressed in a gray casual short-sleeved shirt and leather sandals, dressed very casually, paced in the long corridor of the book fair. Yu Sihai and Liu Zhenji were on the left and right, full of interest. On the side of a pair of banners, Zhang Shouzhuo stopped to take a closer look, which were "Turbidity Mash Xiyin" and "Suqin Chenzhang". Zhang Shouclumsy praised, the lines are quiet and full of tension. Walking further, there is another banner "Jin Yan Wulu Yi grandson, Han wash Pisces Daji sheep", Zhang Shouzhuo stopped again, looked at it from a distance, and nodded frequently. Yu Sihai said that Wu Mingshui's calligraphy seems to be open and closed, but it is very quiet. Zhang Shouzhuo said that Wu Mingshui's calligraphy points, horizontals, and apostrophes are all powerful and strange, but the overall elegance and quietness can be seen, from which you can see Wei Bei, Huang Tingjian and Ming Dynasty wild grass, very individual.

Liu Zhenji quietly slipped out of the exhibition hall and called Chen Shichuan. Chen Shichuan once studied calligraphy with Wu Mingshui and was a student of Wu Mingshui. Liu Zhenji entrusted Chen Shichuan to contact him to buy these two calligraphy banners and give them to Zhang Shouzhuo and Yu Sihai respectively, and Chen Shichuan promised to contact Wu Mingshui and the person in charge of the book fair immediately.

Back in the exhibition hall, Zhang Shouzhuo and Yu Sihai were still commenting on Wu Mingshui's calligraphy, and they were very devoted. Liu Zhenji accompanied them for more than ten minutes, and Chen Shichuan called, saying that he had negotiated with Wu Mingshui, and after the book fair was over, Liu Zhenji could take away the two banners, and the runge fee would be charged at a 20% discount on the market price. Zhang Shouzhuo and Yu Sihai heard that Liu Zhenji sent a banner to them, so they returned to the banner again and savored it. Zhang Shou said briskly, I prefer the "Jin Han" one, you can take the "Xichen" one. He also said, Wu Mingshui's calligraphy is pure and pure, Zhenji, you can choose one yourself, and I will help you find it. So, the three of them turned around again, and finally chose the one that "people are idle and osmanthus fall into the night and the mountain is empty", the pen is crisp and neat, and the force penetrates the back of the paper. Liu Zhenji has always liked Wang Wei's poems, especially thinking that these two sentences are the pinnacle of Wang Wei's poetry.

Accompanying Zhang Shouzhuo and Yu Sihai to watch the book fair for two or three hours, they only talked about Wu Mingshui, only about calligraphy, not about work, and did not even mention going to Songzhou to take up their posts together tomorrow. But Liu Zhenji felt that this matter was very successful.
