Chapter IV

There was some silence in the carriage, Liu Jiang, executive deputy director of the Organization Department, closed his eyes slightly, his fingers tapped the upholstered seat with a gentle rhythm, and glanced at Liu Jiang quietly, Chen Xing sneered in his heart, "None of the people from Ximen County came, I'm afraid no one thought that Liu Jiang would come down in person today." ”

If Chen Xing can't guess the thoughts of those people in Ximen County, then he doesn't want to be the deputy county magistrate, and he can go back directly now, as Liu Jiang said, the people of Ximen County put an empty city plan today, they want to give him a dismount, how can Chen Xing not see it.

"Liu Jiang made this call in front of me just now, what is the real intention?" Chen Xing thought silently in his heart, with Liu Jiang's identity, he would not take the initiative to show favor to him now, he is a soon-to-be deputy county magistrate, although he is a deputy department-level cadre, it seems that the future is bright, but who can say what will happen in the future, some people are proud for a while, but the next moment, they are reduced to prisoners, or the first half of the business is booming, but the second half of his life is unknown.

The Organization Department holds the power to evaluate cadres, and Liu Jiang, the second-in-command of the Organization Department, can be said to have a very strong advantage in front of the county and department-level cadres below.

"It should be Minister Yuanjiang's words that played a role in this, plus I was Secretary Zhou's secretary before, there should be some factors in it." Chen Xing thought about the reason in his heart, and there was another possibility, Liu Jiang's call was just to make a show in front of him.

"Comrade Chen Xing, among the districts, counties and cities below Haicheng, you are now the youngest deputy county-level cadre, you are young, and your future is limitless." Liu Jiang turned his head to look at Chen Xing and said with a smile.

"Minister Liu praised, my experience is insufficient, there is still a lot to learn, Minister Liu, you are a senior, I also want to learn more from you."

"Comrade Chen Xing, you are too humble, you follow Secretary Zhou, you have learned much more than us, I don't dare to be arrogant as your senior, besides, there is Minister Yuanjiang who is always reminding you, Comrade Chen Xing is still afraid that he will not be able to learn things, don't you say?" Liu Jiang glanced at Chen Xing absently, smiled faintly, and looked solemn and awe-inspiring when he mentioned Zhou Mingfang and Yuan Jiang.

Far away in a township and rural village below Ximen County, Li Zheng, executive deputy county magistrate, immediately rushed to the countryside with his secretary and several staff members of the government office after drinking from the hotel yesterday afternoon, and put on a posture of inspecting the people's situation.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zheng took people again, plus a large group of township leaders accompanied by the township, to the countryside below, in a mighty and majestic manner, and the beautiful name of "sympathy for the people's feelings" was "sympathetic"; today Li Zheng was going to the most remote rural village in the town, and the car was bumpy on the uneven mountain road, and Li Zheng and the others sitting in the van were like doing a roller coaster, swaying up and down.

"Now this time, Chen Xing and the comrades in the city are estimated to have also arrived in Ximen." Li Zheng looked at the time, and secretly said in his heart, it will be more than nine o'clock in the morning, thinking about the scene that Chen Xing is about to encounter, the corner of Li Zheng's mouth shows a smug smile.

"Wang Dongchen's old fox entrusted me to greet Chen Xing on behalf of the county yesterday, and today I deliberately ran down and released his pigeon, and the old fox doesn't know what the reaction is now." Li Zheng's face is a little solemn, in the whole county, to say that he is the most scrupling and the most unscrupulous person, it is none other than Wang Dongchen, two completely different mentalities are reflected in one person, this is not contradictory, Li Zheng is really from Wang Dongchen to experience this feeling, the reason why he said no scruples, that is because Wang Dongchen is already fifty and five this year, and in another three years, it will almost be time to take a back seat, it is impossible to be promoted, and the term of secretary of the Ximen County Party Committee is his last term, for such a cadre in the late stage, Li Zheng is not afraid of the other party at all, in the officialdom, the so-called bullying of the old and not the young is almost the same reason, Wang Dongchen's career has reached the point of the position of secretary of the county party committee, a figure who is about to retire, and Li Zheng himself is in the rising period, he is not yet forty years old this year, and the room for rise is not small, Li Zheng will not be afraid of an old man like Wang Dongchen who will retire soon.

As for the most scruple about Wang Dongchen, it is because Wang Dongchen has been operating in Ximen for a long time, and his power has long been deep-rooted, don't look at Wang Dongchen has grown old, it seems that he is not day by day, but there are still many cadres who follow Wang Dongchen in Ximen County, and Li Zheng has also attracted a lot of people in the past two or three years, but he thinks that he can't compare with Wang Dongchen, who has been entrenched in Ximen for seven years, especially Wang Dongchen's city government is very deep, and he often gives you a blow to the head when the people's defense is overwhelmed. After all, Wang Dongchen is still the secretary of the county party committee, the real leader of Ximen County.

"County Magistrate Li, this Longshan Village is very closed, surrounded by mountains, there are more than 400 households in the village, the only thing that can contact the outside world is this slightly decent dirt road, and then go a little further, it is a mountain road, the road is too rugged, the car can't drive in, we can only walk in." Feng Shucai, secretary of the township party committee, approached Li Zheng and said.

"Walking in?" Li Zheng frowned, obviously a little displeased, "Are there any other villages here with better road conditions?" ”

"No, if you come in on this road, you can only go all the way to Longshan Village inside, there are no other villages around, or let's just go back and go to Xianglin Village."

"Forget it, forget it, then go to Longshan Village." Li Zheng waved his hand a little impatiently, picked up the mobile phone and looked at it, the signal of the mobile phone only showed two bars, Li Zheng hoped that there would be no communication signal directly, that was the best result, just now the call from the county party committee office, Li Zheng deliberately did not answer, he could basically guess in his heart what the county party committee office was calling for, it must be Wang Dongchen's old fox who came to question him, Li Zheng simply ignored him.

Feng Shucai on the side looked at Li Zheng a little strangely, Li Zheng came down to the township, saying that he was going to go to the village below to take a walk and inspect the people's feelings, but he didn't feel that the other party had a little bit of an investigation of the people's feelings.

Chen Xing and Liu Jiang's car was about to enter Ximen County when they ran into the car of Wang Dongchen, secretary of the county party committee, Wang Dongchen rushed over from the county party committee, knowing that Liu Jiang accompanied Chen Xing down today, Wang Dongchen couldn't sit in the office and wait for the car of the two to come over.

The conditions in Ximen are not rich, the county party committee and the county government are in the same office location, and there are two office buildings in the east and west, one for the county party committee and the other for the county government, and there are two small buildings in between, and there are two small buildings in between, and there are one or two hundred meters away.

When Wang Dongchen and Liu Jiang's car arrived at the county party committee together, Li Shaotong, deputy secretary of the county party committee, other members of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, and several deputy county magistrates were waiting in the compound.

Chen Xing looked at the people present one by one, the leadership team of Ximen County can be said to be all here, and after taking a closer look, Chen Xing was slightly puzzled in his heart, the person he saw yesterday next to the Chenggong Building in the center of the county who was respectfully called 'County Magistrate Li' was not among these people at the moment.

Everyone smiled and hugged Wang Dongchen and Liu Jiang to the conference room of the office building, and the cadres at and above the section level in Ximen County had already arrived, and the meeting was presided over by Wang Dongchen, secretary of the county party committee.

Wang Dongchen took the lead in speaking, followed by Liu Jiang's speech, Liu Jiang was completely entrusted by Yuanjiang today to escort Chen Xing, in just a few minutes of speech, Liu Jiang also focused on Chen Xing's recognition by the city leaders, and hoped that the main responsible comrades of Ximen County could unite and make more contributions to the development of Ximen County.

The purpose of today's meeting is undoubtedly to let Chen Xing show his face in front of many cadres in Ximen County, the meeting did not last long, after the meeting, Chen Xing, Wang Dongchen, Liu Jiang and the two walked to the office together.

In the corridor, Wang Dongchen seemed to have just explained tonight's morning, glanced at Chen Xing, and said with a smile, "Comrade Chen Xing, in the morning, I originally asked Comrade Li Zheng to greet you and the comrades in the city, but I don't know what happened to this Comrade Li Zheng, so I went to the countryside to investigate, and I couldn't get through to my mobile phone for a while. ”

"Comrade Chen Xing, after Chang Yong was taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the city temporarily decided that Comrade Li Zheng would preside over the work of the county, and Comrade Li Zheng was the executive deputy county magistrate who assisted Chang Yong in presiding over the daily work of the county government." Liu Jiang seemed to be afraid that Chen Xing would not understand, so he specially explained.

Chen Xing suddenly realized that the surname Li he saw yesterday was now Li Zheng, the executive deputy county magistrate, and as for Chang Yong mentioned by Liu Jiangkou, he was Li Zheng, the former county magistrate of Ximen County, who had been taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection because he was involved in the Xing Tiande case.

"It seems that County Magistrate Li is very concerned about the production and life of the people." Chen Xing said with a smile.

Wang Dongchen glanced at Chen Xing with a smile, some strangeness flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled again, "Comrade Chen Xing, the work of the government in the future will depend on you and Comrade Li Zheng." ”

Zhang Ming, director of the county government office, went to the countryside with Li Zheng, and there was only one deputy director left in the office, Wang Zhong, who had just sat in his office for a while, and Wang Zhong brought a young comrade over.

"County Magistrate Chen, this is He Qi, a very outstanding young comrade in the secretarial department, and last year he also won the title of one of the top ten outstanding public officials selected by our county, if you have anything in the future, you can directly order him." Wang Zhong bowed slightly, and introduced Chen Xing with a smile.

Chen Xing's gaze stayed on He Qi for a while, knowing that this was the secretary prepared by the county for himself (county and department-level cadres are not qualified to have full-time secretaries, the correct point here should be to say that the staff specially designated to serve a certain leader should be directly written here, saving trouble.) )

"Hello, County Magistrate Chen." He Qi was stared at a little unnaturally by Chen Xing, and shouted solemnly and respectfully.

Chen Xing smiled and nodded, feeling emotional, once upon a time, he was still a small clerk who couldn't see the future, doing the work on the tip of the pen, and then he was fortunate to become Zhou Mingfang's secretary, and he did the work of serving people, but now, he has become a leader, and there are people around him who serve him.

This kind of change came so quickly that he was still in a dream, and the young man in front of him, who was a little younger than him, was a little like his previous shadow, and he was not so restrained in front of the leader at the beginning.

"Director Wang, did County Magistrate Li say when he will come back?"

"No, County Magistrate Li hurriedly went down to the township with Director Zhang and a few staff members yesterday, and did not say when he would come back."

"Oh?" Chen Xing frowned slightly, and said to Wang Zhong, "It's nothing, Director Wang, you can go out first." ”

Sitting alone in the office, Chen Xing had the information of the main party and government leaders of Ximen County on his desk, and read it carefully, and he would have to work with these people in the future, and Chen Xing had to get to know everyone carefully.

In the office of Wang Dongchen, secretary of the county party committee, after Chen Xing left, Wang Dongcheng invited Liu Jiang into his office, and as soon as the office door was closed, the two of them had maintained a working relationship before, but the attitude of the two immediately changed, and they only listened to Liu Jiangdao, "Lao Wang, it seems that your comrades in Ximen County are working together today to give Chen Xing a dismissal." ”

"Minister Liu, if there is no evidence, you have to be cautious." Wang Dongchen looked stunned for a moment, then put on a straight face and said sternly.

"Hehe, Lao Wang, you asked Li Zheng to meet Chen Xing, Li Zheng will go to the countryside today, isn't this a clear intention to embarrass Chen Xing, fortunately, it was me who accompanied Chen Xing today, if other comrades accompany Chen Xing over, seeing your Ximen County like this, it will definitely reach the ears of Minister Yuanjiang after you go back."

"What's the matter, Chen Xing has a close relationship with Minister Yuanjiang?" Wang Dongcheng glanced at Liu Jiang suspiciously, the face that had been raised just now was already a smile, and the familiar relationship between him and Liu Jiang was clear at a glance.

"Minister Yuanjiang is Secretary Zhou's right-hand man when he presided over the work in Haicheng, and Chen Xing was Secretary Zhou's secretary, you said that because of this relationship, Minister Yuanjiang would not look at Chen Xing differently." Liu Jiang shook his head with a smile.

"Yes." Wang Dongcheng nodded and sighed, "It's good for young people to become a good leader, and at a young age, they are about to catch up with people like me who have worked hard all their lives to have today's position, when I was 28 years old, I was still in the township office, and I was confused about my future. ”

"Lao Wang, everyone's circumstances are different, don't sigh, I can't envy someone like you who can retire successfully." Liu Jiang smiled, changed his words, and said, "But what Comrade Li Zheng did today is a bit too much, and he doesn't have a sense of the overall situation at all." ”

"Comrade Li Zheng's mood is also understandable, Chang Yong had an accident, the city designated him to temporarily preside over the work of the county government, he was also the executive deputy county magistrate, everyone thought that he could smoothly take over the post of county magistrate, but did not want to parachute a Chen Xing from the province, Comrade Li Zheng will have some unbalanced mentality, and it is inevitable that there will be irrational behavior."

"Yes, it's still Lao Wang, you know your comrades." Liu Jiang glanced at Wang Dongchen, there was a smile in his eyes, Wang Dongchen seemed to have deliberately defended Li Zheng, but it made Liu Jiang vaguely wake up, Wang Dongchen couldn't have known that Li Zheng would have subjective prejudice against Chen Xing, but he asked Li Zheng to greet Chen Xing, whether Wang Dongchen's move was intentional or unintentional is difficult to understand.

Subconsciously glanced at Wang Dongchen in his heart, Liu Jiang really couldn't figure out the thoughts of his old friend, if the other party did it intentionally, but he also brought this yang conspiracy to the extreme.

"Lao Wang, I still have to go back to the city, so I won't sit here longer, and we will talk again when we have a chance in the future." Liu Jiang stood up with a smile.

"Why, don't sit down a little longer?" Wang Dongchen spoke up.

"No, today Minister Yuanjiang specially entrusted me to escort Comrade Chen Xing, my task has been completed, it's time to go back and hand over the errand." Liu Jiang shook his head with a smile, glanced at Wang Dongchen, and deliberately bit the word Yuanjiang a little harder, Liu Jiang deliberately wanted to remind his old friend, whether the other party could listen to it or not, it was none of his business, he also did one more thing for Chen Xing.
