Liao Yingsheng remembered a few words in "Water Margin", such as "forcing Liangshan" and "Zhao'an". Seeing Liu Jinzhong looking like he was facing a great enemy, he couldn't help sneering a few times in his heart, didn't you force it?

In the early 80s, Liao Yingsheng transferred from the army to the remote Fengling Commune to become a military specialist. Two years later, he became the head of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces. It didn't take long for him to be directly promoted to the post of secretary of the party committee of Lingang Commune. Next, move from this township to that town, and rub in the position of party secretary. Until three years of advancing to the city, he served as the party secretary of Matsushita Town, the seat of the county seat. In the past 16 years, he has traveled to most of Ping'an County, but he can't climb to the sub-county level, and he can only be anxious when he sees his subordinates climbing on his head. Now, he finally cut off that thought. He laughed at himself: "Everything is determined by heaven, not by man." My father named me Liao Yingsheng, so I could only be a battalion-level cadre, and my younger brother Liao Liansheng could only be the village party secretary. Because his wife suffers from neurosis, he has repeatedly asked to be transferred to work in the agency, but he has not been able to do so. Jiang Sixian, the former head of the county party committee, appreciated his hard-working spirit and deliberately cultivated him, and transferred him to Panasonic Town as the secretary of the party committee. Unexpectedly, he was involuntarily involved in the power struggle between Jiang Sixian and the former county magistrate Zheng Aihua. After Zhou Qiushui took office, he was lukewarm to him, which gave him a strong sense of loss. He didn't know how long he could stay in this position that others looked like, and he didn't know what position was waiting for him. For him, this general election is an opportunity, an opportunity to play directly with Zhou Qiushui, and an opportunity to exchange chips in Huàn's hands. In the evening conversation, he was perfunctory and uncooperative. Liu Jinzhong is nothing more than a pioneer, the commander of the Chinese army is behind, and the good show is behind. If a deputy secretary of the county party committee can make him disarm and surrender, and don't talk about others, he will look down on himself.

Liao Yingsheng was led to Zhou Qiushui's office by Guan Chong at half past eight o'clock, and he deliberately glanced at his watch when he entered the door. Formally, this is a dialogue of equals. Zhou Qiushui, Xie Jianping, Guan Chong, and Liao Yingsheng sat around the rest area, each occupying one side, with hot tea, fruits, and a pack of Chinese brand cigarettes on the coffee table.

After a brief pleasantries, the conversation got to the point.

Zhou Qiushui smiled slightly: "Yingsheng, first of all, congratulations on your joint nomination to the National People's Congress, which shows that your mass foundation is good, and everyone supports you." ”

Liao Yingsheng also smiled: "Secretary Zhou, let you see a smile." I'm really embarrassed, these people are fooling around, making it difficult for me to ride a tiger, and I will be elected tomorrow, doesn't this make me make a fool of myself? ”

"Comrade Yingsheng, in the afternoon, Comrade Admiralty informed you of the organization's intentions. Of course, you are eligible to stick to the election. However, before you make a final decision, I hope that we can have an open and honest exchange of ideas, and everyone will be more honest, and we can talk about anything. Zhou Qiushui said, slightly official.

Liao Yingsheng was silent for a long time, and said sincerely: "Secretary Zhou, County Magistrate Xie, and Minister Guan, since the leader has said this, there is no need for me to hide it, just say a few words from my heart." In total, I have worked in the township for 16 years, and I have also worked in the post of party secretary for 13 years. I have suffered a lot, suffered a lot of anger, and won some honors. Because my lover is not in good health, since 91 years, every time I adjust, I have asked to be transferred back to work in the county office, but which time did the county consider it? As a result, he can't make a name for himself in his career, his lover's health is getting worse and worse, and his child's academic performance is not ideal. Sometimes, when you calm down and think about it, alas, what a failure! ……”。

When Xie Jianping heard Liao Yingsheng mention his lover, his heart "chuckled". He has heard about the situation in Liao Yingsheng's family. Over the years, Liao Yingsheng has spent a lot of money on his lover's treatment, and his family's financial situation is a little tight. A few years ago, Liao Yingsheng wanted to transfer his lover from the county food factory to the county library, but because he was involved in the "Jiang Zheng dispute", Zheng Aihua, the county magistrate at the time, had been dragging it out. After Xie Jianping became the county magistrate, Liao Yingsheng again submitted a report to the county labor and personnel bureau for transfer, and talked to him alone.

Seeing Liao Yingsheng pause, Xie Jianping interjected: "Old Liao, we have some understanding of the actual difficulties in your family, and we considered solving them for you some time ago." However, when we summarized it later, it was found that eight or nine party committee secretaries and township mayors requested that their lovers be transferred from county-owned enterprises to work in administrative institutions. It makes it difficult for us to ride the tiger, and if all of them are approved, I am afraid that the social impact will not be good. In the past two days, the Personnel Bureau has drawn up a plan, and the first step is to consider the families of leading cadres who have worked in townships and towns for more than 10 years and have served as secretaries and township mayors for more than three years. In the next step, we will submit the plan to the meeting of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and the Standing Committee of the County Government for discussion. The problem of your lover's transfer should be solved quickly, so that the problem of medical expenses can also be solved. All in all, as a party secretary who has worked in the township for many years and has made great contributions, it is impossible for you to turn a blind eye to your practical difficulties organizationally, so don't worry! ”。 Xie Jianping avoided talking about the election, and only talked about the transfer of Liao Yingsheng's lover.

Liao Yingsheng originally did not intend to use the transfer of his lover as a bargaining chip. After listening to Xie Jianping, his heart was slightly hot, he picked up the water cup and took a deep sip: "Thank you for your concern!" The joint nomination of several of us by the deputies to the people's congress this time actually represents a kind of voice of the current rural cadres, who demand to be recognized and taken seriously, and hope that the county party committee and the county government will attach importance to this voice. As for me personally, if the organization agrees to me to run, I am grateful to the organization and leadership, I am 45 years old this year, and there are few opportunities in the future. If the organization must ask me to give up, as a veteran party member of more than 20 years, I will do everything possible to convince myself and the nominated deputies. Of course, we hope that our practical difficulties and voices will be fully taken into account by the organization. ”

Zhou Qiushui breathed a sigh of relief, things were much smoother than he imagined, and "Zhao'an" Liao Yingsheng meant that the crisis was successfully resolved. Compared with Liao Yingsheng, Chen Leshan and Tan Yangchun lack sufficient qualifications and prestige, and under normal circumstances, Liao Yingsheng's abandonment is tantamount to leading them to disarm and surrender.

Zhou Qiushui was about to say something, but Guan Chong opened his mouth first: "Lao Liao, to be honest, you are not bad in terms of ability and qualifications, some of the people who were promoted to the secretary of the commune party committee with you in 1983 have long been county leaders, and it is normal for you to have ideas." Now you can consider the problem from the perspective of the overall situation, I am very impressed and impressed. Over the past few years, we have paid less attention to rural cadres and not trained them enough, and in the next step, our organization department will certainly pay attention to and care for rural cadres. As for your personal question, we have been thinking about it for a long time. If you have any specific ideas, you can also talk about them. ”

Liao Yingsheng thought for a while and said: "I don't have any excessive requirements, I just hope that when I adjust this year, I will be transferred to a county-level unit." After working in the army for a few years, it was ideal to arrange for me to go to the Public Security Bureau, but it was really difficult to get it, and the Civil Affairs Bureau, the Transportation Bureau, the Land Management Bureau, and the Forestry Bureau were also fine. ”

Zhou Qiushui thought, the vision is good, which one is not a good unit with real goods and real power. Of course, you Liao Yingsheng has been the secretary of the township party committee for thirteen years, and these requirements are not excessive. So, he said: "Secretary Yingsheng, I and County Magistrate Xie and Minister Guan are here today, and the conversation between us can be more direct." Just now, County Magistrate Xie said that the county government is considering the issue of your family's job transfer, and the principal leaders of the township and township have a heavy burden and great pressure, so it is very necessary to solve your worries on the premise of not violating the principles. As for your work, we will carefully consider it when we make the next adjustment. As far as I'm concerned, I still hope that you will work in the post of party secretary of Panasonic Town for a while. You are a reserve cadre, and after you go to a county-level unit, you will not have an advantage in being promoted. Of course, if you insist on coming to the agency, we respect your choice. In recent years, the selection of public security bureau chiefs has been based on the opinions of regional public security bureaus. In the other bureaus, some of them are not old enough to make adjustments this year, but we will try our best to meet your requirements. All in all, you can rest assured, we can't let the honest people who cooperate with our work suffer! ”

After Liao Yingsheng listened, he was silent for a long time. Xie Jianping knew that the little Jiujiu in his heart was nothing more than a clear and specific promise, and glanced at Zhou Qiushui, who nodded knowingly.

Xie Jianping got up and picked up the hot water bottle and filled the cups of several people: "Old Liao, Secretary Zhou said it very clearly. If you don't worry, we will open the skylight and say bright words, so as to save you from being uncertain. You are familiar with agriculture and forestry work, and Lao Wu of the Forestry Bureau will arrive at the station this year, so it may be more appropriate for you to go there. However, this matter is only known to the four of us, and it is not good for you and everyone to spread it. ”

Liao Yingsheng was overjoyed in his heart, and held back his joy: "Several leaders, rest assured, I will never leak secrets." Thank you for organizing and leading! I will definitely do all the work well and live up to you! ”

After Liao Yingsheng gave up his candidacy, Zhou Qiushui, Xie Jianping, and Guan Chong kept talking, and then talked to Chen Leshan, Secretary of the Party Committee of Lingang Town, and Tan Yangchun, Secretary of the Party Committee of Xiangyang Town.

Chen Leshan was Liao Yingsheng's "partner" when he was the secretary of the Makeng Township Party Committee, and he was about the same age as Liao Yingsheng, but his qualifications were quite different, and he had only served as the township chief for six or seven years. This time, he was Liao Yingsheng's follower, and seeing that Liao Yingsheng gave up, he had no intention of fighting, and he did not bargain, but only recommended a cadre to the county party committee and asked for promotion.

Before the afternoon conversation, Tan Yangchun heard that the "minister of the Qin Mission" was Yang Dazhong, and immediately moved the idea of abandoning the election. Two years ago, Yang Dazhong was transferred to the post of secretary of the county Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he took over as secretary of the Xiangyang Town Party Committee. Tan Yangchun didn't know anything about this joint nomination at first. A group of village cadres from the Xiangyang Town delegation saw that Panasonic Town was making a nomination, and they also coaxed to get it, and Tan Yangchun saw that the matter had come to this point, so he half-pushed and half-agreed. He thought that even if he could not run or be elected, he would have the initiative and at least expand his influence, which would not be a bad thing in any case.

If Yang Dazhong had talked to him alone, perhaps he would have surrendered directly. Gong Qiongying, director of the Propaganda Department of the county party committee, was present, and he had no choice but to use an official tone to an official tone, and he talked about it in the east and west. Yang Dazhong is similar, speaking official words step by step. Tan Yangchun understood Yang Dazhong's intentions, which obviously made him not let go for the time being, and waited for the secretary and county magistrate to come to see the situation. For this, Tan Yangchun is very grateful, after all, he is a leader who has cultivated his own growth, and he is thinking about himself everywhere.

In the evening, facing Zhou Qiushui and Xie Jianping, he suddenly asked that the town mayor Dai Guanghua be transferred from Xiangyang Town. He didn't want to make any specific requests, but during the conversation, he obviously felt Zhou Qiushui's anxiety and impatience, and also weighed the weight of the chips in his hand. When he put the reasons on the table one by one, Zhou Qiushui no longer hesitated, and clearly said that when adjusting, the organization would consider it.

In fact, Tan Yangchun had already moved his mind to drive Dai Guanghua away. Two years ago, Dai Guanghua was promoted from the post of deputy director of the county economic and trade commission to Xiangyang Town as the mayor. Previously, Dai Guanghua had been working in an agency, lacked rural work experience, regarded himself as high-minded, liked to make assertions, and was bitter and mean. Once, when a cadre went to the countryside and found that the stinky tofu in a farmer's house was delicious, he was too embarrassed to ask for too much, so he said, "Use a smaller jar for me to bring back a little." After hearing this, Dai Guanghua said, "If you want to twist and pinch, then take a penicillin jar for him." Everyone laughed out loud, who would have thought of a penicillin jar as a jar for food. Another time, in a nutrition lecture, the teacher said that you can't eat eggs only yolk and no protein, otherwise the nutrition is not complete. Dai Guanghua immediately asked: "Then don't you eat a whole pig if you eat pork?" The teacher was dumbfounded, and instantly petrified. Tan Yangchun and his contradictions grew from scratch, from small to large, and became an open secret of the town government. During last year's year-end evaluation, Tan Yangchun considered proposing to the county party committee to transfer Dai Guanghua's Jianyi, but he was afraid that he would startle the snake and intensify the contradictions, and he was not sure how long it would be to adjust the cadres, so he put it aside for the time being. Now, when you encounter such a good opportunity, how can you miss it?

The election was held as scheduled, and the results were not biased, and Zhou Qiushui was relieved. But he did not feel happy at all, and from the seemingly normal ballots, he smelled the breath of opposition to him and heard the voices against him. Out of a total of 201 votes, Xie Jianping was elected with 199 votes. Among the deputy county magistrates, most of them had between 170 and 195 votes, with the exception of Xu Huaqiang, the executive deputy county magistrate, with only 137 votes. Hu Linsheng, the accompaniment to the candidate, unexpectedly picked up 61 votes, and at the same time, many secretaries of township party committees and bureau chiefs received some votes sporadically. The most is Liao Yingsheng, with forty-two votes. It is hard to imagine that knowing that Liao Yingsheng took the initiative to give up his candidacy, more than 40 people named Liao Yingsheng to choose Liao Yingsheng. What would have been the result if Liao Yingsheng's name had been printed on the ballot papers? It is not difficult to see that most of the votes of Hu Linsheng and Liao Yingsheng were diverted from Xu Huaqiang, and those people wanted to pull Xu Huaqiang down. Thinking about the election of county party committee members a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel his heart sink. In the election of the members of the county party committee, he received 266 votes, ranking fourth in the number of votes, and Xie Jianping, Guan Chong, and Yang Dazhong ranked first, second, and third respectively. Xu Huaqiang received the least number of votes, 198 votes. At the time, he was a little surprised, but he didn't think deeply. Now it seems that Xu Huaqiang has made a lot of enemies, and has a stable and powerful opposite. The problem is that among the four sets of teams, he values Xu Huaqiang the most, isn't coming to Xu Huaqiang just coming to him Zhou Qiushui? What's more, it is not normal for him to lose 23 votes in the election of county party committee members. Yang Dazhong served as the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he sang "black face", so he lost 18 votes. I can't imagine that these people seem to be submissive, but in fact, I don't know what they are thinking. What kind of great emancipation of the mind, if it is not done well, it will turn into a great confusion of the mind. What's the problem? It comes down to being a human problem. It shouldn't be Xie Jianping, after more than a year of cooperation, they can't talk about everything, but at least there are no major contradictions. Even if there were occasional disagreements, most of them ended with Xie Jianping taking the initiative to compromise. He felt that Xie Jianping was relatively upright, and he retained the noble atmosphere of an intellectual, so as not to fan the yin wind and light the ghost fire. They are old acquaintances, and when he was deputy director of the office of the regional planning commission, Xie Jianping was the secretary of the deputy secretary of the prefectural party committee, and he often interacted with them. A few years ago, Xie Jianping served as deputy secretary of the Ping'an County Party Committee in the capacity of deputy director of the prefectural party committee office. In January last year, he was promoted to county magistrate. So who is that? Is it the Ping An Local Gang? Wang Yeqin, director of the National People's Congress, and Yang Dazhong, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection? ……。

Zhou Qiushui found that he didn't know who his opponent was or where, and he wasn't even sure that someone was making trouble. But one thing he can be sure of is that he overestimated his ability to control the overall situation in Ping'an County, at least this general election of the county party committee and government made him feel in danger. He made up his mind to do his best to reverse the unfavorable situation, do a few things that are comfortable for the people to see, and do a few things that can unite the hearts of middle-level cadres. Of course, it is most urgent to make good use of several people, especially those in key positions. Personnel adjustment is a little earlier, and solving problems must start from people after all.
