As the term of change approaches, various versions of personnel arrangements have become popular, and the middle-level leading cadres in the county have generally entered a subtle state of excitement. Some people know that they are not moving, but they still care about the rise and fall of others. is like an actor who is temporarily resting, in the background, his heart is on the stage, and every move in the front desk is in full view. Yuan Jinpeng has been restless recently, and Xie Jianping's sudden transfer caught him off guard. People are in officialdom, no matter how good you are, you have no confidence without a "backer". Originally, it was not difficult for the town mayor to be transferred to the secretary of the town party committee, and Liu Zhenji was the head of the organization. He was worried that Xie Jianping and Zhou Qiu's water surface and heart did not coincide, which would affect him.

That afternoon, Liu Zhenji called and asked Yuan Jinpeng to meet. Liu Zhenji didn't say anything specifically, and he didn't ask, it was clearly a matter of the re-election. When he arrived at the county seat in the evening, he asked Xiao Cui to drive away and go to Liu Zhenji alone. Liu Zhenji lives in the county party committee's fund-raising building, which is a two-bedroom house. When he reached the third floor, he saw a young man in his thirties standing at the door of Liu Zhenji's house with a large bag of things, knocking hesitantly on the door. The door didn't open, but Liu Zhenji's voice came out: "Young man, don't knock!" Let's go back, I'll talk to the office tomorrow morning. ”

Yuan Jinpeng saw what was going on, stepped forward and patted the young man on the shoulder: "Go back, Minister Liu is not at home to see the guests." ”

The young man seemed to know Yuan Jinpeng, and his face suddenly turned crimson, and he turned around and left.

Liu Zhenji heard Yuan Jinpeng's voice, opened the door and came out: "Go to your house to see, I haven't been to your house yet." ”

At this time, the head of the organization was very busy. Especially at night, when you are at home, people come to the door, you hide in the office, and people chase them to the office, even carrying large bags and small bags.

Yuan Jinpeng said: "Teacher Liu, it is not easy to be a leader, and it takes a lot of effort to deal with these people alone. ”

Liu Zhenji said: "Jin Peng, refusal is a science." A leader knows who to reject and how to reject them. Some people have not dealt with this problem well, and they have become notorious, and even go to jail. ”

After three turns and two turns, I saw several rows of bungalows crowded into the middle of a two- or three-story house in the hazy night, which looked a little dilapidated.

Liu Zhenji asked in surprise: "You live here?" ”

Yuan Jinpeng laughed at himself: "Thirty-seven square meters, if it is in Shanghai, it is considered a good condition." ”

Yuan Jinpeng's wife Deng Qiong teaches in the county No. 1 middle school and is also a graduate of Qingchuan Normal School, so she naturally knows Liu Zhenji and hurriedly makes tea for the teacher.

Sitting down slightly, Liu Zhenji went straight to the topic: "Jin Peng, this time for the re-election, you may stand still, you must be mentally prepared, and you must not be emotional." You are young, and you will have more opportunities in the future. ”

In the afternoon, Zhou Qiushui summoned Liu Jinzhong and Liu Zhenji to set up a framework for the adjustment of the township election. Every time there is a personnel adjustment, Zhou Qiushui first communicates with the county magistrate, the deputy secretary of the party and the masses, and the organization minister, and then holds a secretary meeting to basically determine the candidates, and finally convenes the standing committee of the county party committee to finalize. These processes are interlocking and often go smoothly. Of course, there are exceptions. On one occasion, Fu Kegang, member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and political commissar of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces, resolutely opposed a personnel reshuffle. Zhou Qiushui said: This arrangement has been studied and determined by the secretary's meeting. Fu Kegang immediately asked rhetorically, since it has been decided, why bother to hold a Standing Committee to study it? With that, pick up the briefcase and thermos cup, and throw up your sleeves and go out. made a room of people look at each other, but fortunately, Liu Jinzhong reacted quickly and chased out the door to pull Fu Kegang back. Fu Kegang is a military management cadre, otherwise he would not have been so tough.

In this re-election, there is a lot of movement in adjustment. It has been preliminarily determined that eight or nine party committee secretaries and township and town mayors will take up posts in county-level organs. As a result, a number of people were readjusted, and the town mayor was transferred to the secretary, the deputy post was transferred to the main post, and people were sent down from the county-level units to take up posts, which was very lively. Lei Xiaoming, director of the county science and technology commission, and Qiu Yong, director of the political research office of the county party committee, served as secretaries, and Li Chunhong, head of the Youth League and county party committee, served as the mayor. Tan Yangchun was transferred to the director of the county family planning commission, Ding Jiahua, secretary of the party committee of Suhu Town, took over as secretary of the party committee of Xiangyang Town, Yuan Jinpeng "stood still", and Zhang Qiang was promoted to Suhu town as mayor ....... Yuan Jinpeng once thought that it would be best to take over as secretary on the spot for this change, which is really difficult, and it is okay to change places. Unexpectedly, it was standing still! When Xie Jianping was transferred, he had such mental preparations. But when the real result comes, it is still difficult to accept. Not as good as other veteran township mayors, you Lei Xiaoming and Qiu Yong can be secretaries, why can't I? The scandal between Ren Yanfang and Zhou Qiushui spread all over the sky, and the head of a relief unit was directly promoted to be in charge of the county women's federation, and I have been the mayor of the town for three years, but I can't be a secretary?

Seeing that Yuan Jinpeng was silent for a long time, Liu Zhenji explained: "Jin Peng, Secretary Zhou said that when County Magistrate Xie was transferred, he greeted you. In the afternoon, in addition to me, Secretary Jin Zhong, as your hanging point leader, has also fought for a long time. Secretary Zhou believes that you are young, high-level, and capable, and your only drawback is that you lack work experience at the grassroots level, and you have not yet worn out your bookish anger. In the long run, it is more beneficial for you to grow in the position of secretary a little later. ”

Yuan Jinpeng sneered: "Hmph! Mandarin. Qiu Yong had never worked in the township, and as a result, he became a secretary directly. ”

Perhaps feeling that he was speaking too hard, he continued, "Teacher, no matter what the result is, thank you." Actually, it's hard to get back to the township now, and the next step may be even more difficult, so I really want to go back to the agency. ”

Liu Zhenji waved his hand: "Half ninety miles of travel." Jin Peng, you must not retreat when you encounter a little setback. It's hard to return, you have to stay up until the secretary comes back! You see that the township mayors who returned to the city this time are all deputy directors, what does it mean? Do you want to rent a public property for the rest of your life? Even if you are poor, Xiao Deng and the child can't agree. ”

Deng Qiongwan smiled: "Teacher Liu, I don't care about his business, let him make his own decisions." ”

Yuan Jinpeng snorted: "Teacher, I'm angry, and I don't know what the problem is?" ”

Liu Zhenji thought for a while and said, "Jin Peng, to be honest, I haven't completely figured it out either. It stands to reason that Secretary Jianping said hello, Secretary Jin Zhong and I spoke for you, Tan Yangchun also recommended you, Xiangyang Town's work is ranked in the top few, it doesn't make sense! Have you looked for Secretary Zhou yourself?"

Yuan Jinpeng woke up like a dream: "Teacher, I really didn't go to his house, they all sent money?" ”

Liu Zhenji felt angry and funny: "Where to find him is to send money?" You used to work next to County Magistrate Xie, and people thought you were County Magistrate Xie's person. It is good for you to find Secretary Zhou to report on work and thoughts. To put it nicely, you respect him and he is happy. To put it mildly, if you slap him, he is actually happy in his heart. His relationship with County Magistrate Xie is delicate. ”

Yuan Jinpeng sighed: "Teacher, County Magistrate Xie is here, I don't think it's good to get too close to Secretary Zhou." County Magistrate Xie was transferred, and I felt that I was so quick to hug Secretary Zhou's thigh that everyone looked down on. In the past few years, except for going to pay New Year's greetings with Tan Yangchun during the New Year, I have not been to Secretary Zhou's house alone. ”

Liu Zhenji sighed: "Heh! Zhou Qiushui said that you didn't get angry about the book, but it's true. ”

Yuan Jinpeng looked helpless: "Teacher, is there any other way?" ”

"The overall situation has been decided, I'm afraid it's difficult! Unless the key leaders of the superiors or Zhou Qiushui's iron buddies speak. Liu Zhenji said without thinking.

Sending Liu Zhenji away, Yuan Jinpeng sat alone on the sofa and fell into deep thought. He remembered what Liu Zhenji often said: In China, what you don't get is empty. On the other hand, before the text is issued and announced, it is possible to do so. He remembered Liu Shen's quotation again: "Money can make officials grind, and if they don't push well, they will push again." I can't admit defeat lightly, if I don't go up this session, I have to wait for the next or next adjustment, or even stop moving forward. Someone made statistics on the whereabouts of the township mayor of Ping'an County, and found that more than one-third of them did not carry the position to be secretaries. What's more, whether it is the ability to compete, the mass base, or the needs of work, he is the best candidate to succeed Tan Yangchun. The problem is, he can't find the right person to speak for him now, where to find the "key leaders at the top"? Who is Zhou Qiushui's iron buddy? If you use money, not to mention how this vulgar means make yourself unappetizing, you can't send it even if you want to. Besides, I don't have a lot of money in my passbook, so I can't borrow money to give gifts, right? In fact, except for changing careers that year and being forced to send Zheng Aihua a thousand yuan, he never had this experience again. As the mayor of the town for several years, he accepted cigarettes, alcohol, and local products from others, but resolutely refused to accept valuables and money. No matter how hard he tried to meditate, he couldn't come up with any tricks. Xie Jianping, Liu Jinzhong, Yang Dazhong, Liu Zhenji, and Tan Yangchun can't help themselves when they are tied together, and the number one leader of the county party committee has too much power, and he covers the sky with one hand!

Lying in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night, thinking a lot. Perhaps embarking on this path is a mistake in itself! finally managed to get up until the sky was dark, Yuan Jinpeng got up and prepared to rinse his mouth and wash his face. As soon as I put on my coat, I heard Deng Qiong say coldly: "Why don't you look for Zhao Ang, isn't he very close to Secretary Zhou?" ”。 It seems that the wife has not slept all night. How could he forget Zhao Ang, he thought of it last night. Zhao Ang comes to Ping An once or twice a year to coordinate the timber release quota. Usually, Zhou Qiushui would personally accompany Zhao Ang for a meal. In peace, this is enough to save face. Zhao Ang revealed that Zhou Qiushui went to Guangdong and generally contacted him. No matter how busy he is, he still finds time to meet and do his best to be a host. Once, Zhao Ang got drunk and said that the Rolex gold watch worn by Zhou Qiushui was given by him, and it seemed that the relationship between the two was very good. But an incident happened last year that made him feel that Zhao Ang was boasting about Haikou. At that time, in order to complete the task of attracting investment and cultivating financial resources issued by the county, Tan Yangchun and he went to Shunde, Guangdong, and asked Zhao Ang to invest in the development of the Songshan fluorite mine, which had been out of production for a long time. After all, it is a good thing to make money, and Zhao Ang immediately brought people to Xiangyang for a field trip to determine the investment intention. Unexpectedly, when Tan Yangchun and he reported the matter to Zhou Qiushui, Zhou Qiushui said that this kind of mineral resource-based investment project should support local enterprises as much as possible, and let Feng Shida get it. made them look at each other, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time. Later, I finally made up a reason and tried my best to explain to Zhao Ang. It can be seen from this that the relationship between Zhao Ang and Zhou Qiushui is still floating on the surface. Otherwise, how could such a cheap turn to be picked up by Feng Shida, not to mention that Xiangyang Town clearly proposed to let Zhao Ang develop. Of course, there was a saying later, saying that it seemed that Feng Shida was developing, but in fact, behind it was a big boss surnamed Qingchuan who was the major shareholder, and that person was Zhou Qiushui's iron buddy!

Yuan Jinpeng thought about it again and again, and felt that it was unreliable to rely on Zhao Ang, who was far away in Shunde. If Tong Guò Feng Shida finds the help of the boss Jie, there may be a glimmer of life. Speaking of which, the relationship between him and Feng Shida has always been very good, after Feng Shida took over the Songshan fluorite mine, he always brought gifts and red envelopes to the door during the New Year's holidays. He treated him warmly, but refused to accept red envelopes. Feng Shida said helplessly, Mayor Yuan, everyone has money, you really don't take it, I will save it for you first. He hesitated, but still took out the phone number book, picked up the phone, and dialed Feng Shida's mobile phone. But after dialing the number, I feel that it is inappropriate, in order to promote the sugar daddy, this is unscrupulous! Hesitantly put down the phone. I just put down the phone, thinking that this call still has to be made, "the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky", I have done my best, at least I have no regrets. I was about to get the phone when it rang.

Feng Shida said: "Mayor Yuan, I'm sorry, I just answered the phone and it was disconnected." Are you looking for me? ”

Yuan Jinpeng hesitated: "Actually,...... It's nothing. ”

"You're home, I'll come right over." Feng Shida seemed to know something.

Because he had been here a few times and was familiar with the road, Feng Shida arrived quickly. Still well-dressed, holding a "Dupont" handbag in his hand.

After making tea for Feng Shida, Yuan Jinpeng didn't know how to speak.

Feng Shida said: "Mayor Yuan, if there is anything, you can give me an order." ”

Yuan Jinpeng smiled: "Mr. Feng, where do you dare to order you?" Anyway, you are also our biggest boss in Ping'an County. ”

Feng Shida also smiled: "Mayor Yuan has been promoted, Shida can have today, is it not Mayor Yuan who cares about you?" Don't say that I, Feng Shida, don't do much, no matter how big it is, it will be under your leadership. Yu Zuomin had a lot of scenery in the past few years, and they all said that Daegu Village was the first village in the world, but how many years has it been? There is no good fruit to eat when you oppose the government. I heard from a friend who does business in Yunnan that this time Indonesia killed thousands of Chinese, and many of them were rich bosses. What's the use of having money? ”

Yuan Jinpeng was shocked, he heard some rumors, as if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had protested, but the impression was relatively mild, how could thousands of people die? However, he is reluctant to go into detail about these issues today.

"Mr. Feng is really based in China and looking at the world. Don't tell lies in front of real people, this time I want to ask you to help my brother. As soon as the words came out, Yuan Jinpeng felt strange, why did he call himself a brother?

Feng Shida said sincerely: "To tell you the truth, Mayor Yuan, we don't have much to deal with, but I, Feng Shida, admire you in my bones, a leader like you is rare!" Anything, just say, as long as you can use me. ”

Yuan Jinpeng no longer covered it up, and told Feng Shida about the situation.

Feng Shida listened, thought for a while, and said: "Mayor Yuan trusts me so much, I will try my best to help." To be honest with you, if Mr. Jie is willing to speak, it is estimated that there is no big problem. Mr. Jie and Secretary Zhou are old friends, and the Wenshui Bridge and Yihe Bridge were all handed over to Mr. Jie when Secretary Zhou was the director of the Transportation Bureau. Last year, Mr. Jie called Secretary Zhou, and I was able to take the fluorite mine. ”

Yuan Jinpeng asked: "How do you know Mr. Jie?" ”

Feng Shida said: "This is a long story, let's talk about it later." Anyway, I'm doing my best to do it. ”

Yuan Jinpeng estimated that it would cost money to do things, and it was not easy to spread it out, so he stopped talking: "Mr. Feng, I really want to thank you!" What is the cost, it will ...... when the time comes. ”

Feng Shida interrupted Yuan Jinpeng's words: "Brother, you don't have to worry about this. Every time you are given money for tobacco and alcohol, you don't take it, I can help you a little to feel at ease. Mr. Jie and I are partners now, and it is estimated that it will give me face, and it is not a big problem. ”

Yuan Jinpeng was happy for a while, and couldn't help but send Feng Shida all the way to his crown car.

Feng Shida just sat in the driver's seat and got out of the car again: "Mayor Yuan, let's go to the car and say a few words." ”

Yuan Jinpeng didn't know how he had changed back to "Mayor Yuan", walked to the other side of the car, and got into the passenger seat.

Feng Shida's eyes looked at him directly: "Mayor Yuan, there are some things that I shouldn't have said. Since we know each other so well, I'll give you some advice. You are young and promising, and if you are right, you will listen, and if you are not right, you will not say it. ”

Yuan Jinpeng smiled: "Mr. Feng is polite, let's say it directly." ”

Feng Shida pressed down a little window to facilitate ventilation: "There are so many leaders in Ping An, I have a lot of contact." I have always advocated that it is normal for everyone to make money and make money, and to be grateful and grateful. But if you don't take it, we are admired and unhappy. Everyone appreciates it, and the county leaders don't return it, but you don't appreciate it, once there is something in this regard, what do you think? It's not that you want to be in the same stream, human nature, you can't go too far. As the saying goes, the water is clear and there are no fish. You are as clear and jade as a lotus flower, everyone is not good at saying anything on the surface, but I am afraid that they will reject you thousands of miles away in their hearts, this is a book angry! If this point does not change, I am afraid that the road in the future will not be easy, and we must adapt to reality! Sometimes, it's more dangerous not to appreciate it because you're a maverick. People are mixed in the world, there are some tacit rules, everyone is like this, if you are not like this, you will stand on the opposite side of everyone! The director of the Agricultural Bureau, Director Wang, is harder than a stone, how about it, and finally transferred to the Social Security Federation for the elderly. And who can be promoted? People who like to gamble are easy to promote, and the reason is simple. Gambling money comes and goes quickly, and this kind of person doesn't take money seriously, and is generous when he takes it from the leader. There are also people who like to run to the leader are easy to promote, what do you do if you don't take other people's money, it's impossible to take a loan to send it, right? To be honest, leaders like their subordinates who are a little more generous. What is atmosphere? Sending more money and being generous is the atmosphere. ”

Seeing that Yuan Jinpeng was silent, Feng Shida's tone was softer: "Mayor Yuan, this society is very realistic. No one cares how I make my money, they just see if I'm big. In the same way, as long as you can become a high official, few people care about what means you use. You are a rare talent, and I admire you. I wish you were rising step by step, so I was nosy, saying so much and so straight. Don't be surprised if you say it wrong. ”

Feng Shida's words were like a beam of bullets shot into Yuan Jinpeng's heart, and he suddenly had insufficient blood supply to his brain, and he was in a trance, and he didn't even know how to get out of the car. It wasn't until Feng Shida's Toyota sedan walked half a mile that he came to his senses.
