87. The lesser of two evils

The phone call from Deputy Secretary Yu of the Municipal Party Committee came early in the morning.

"Wenhua, that ...... Wang Lan'er's matter, I didn't expect the old Gao of the Qinglan County Party Committee to be so opposed. I see, forget it! ”

"What? Never mind? Wang Wenhua didn't expect Secretary Yu to say that. Originally, I gave instructions to the mountain path and the judges based on your instructions. If it weren't for your will, the result might be kudzu.

"In that case, wouldn't I have gone back on my word?" Wang Wenhua sent him a big rhetorical question.

"Hehe, isn't it just a matter of characters? If someone strongly recommends it, you are embarrassed, and now someone takes the initiative to withdraw, what is it that makes you embarrassed? Deputy Secretary Yu said very easily.

"However, now, everyone in the city knows that Wang Lan'er has won! If you don't agree with this result, what will the people think? Wang Wenhua once again emphasized the fairness of the draft.

"Haha, ordinary people, you know that you are not hungry when you are full. Who will hold you accountable for changing roles? Wenhua, remember, you are an official, and you must be flexible in everything that involves officialdom...... The lesser of two evils. Got it? ”

In the face of the words of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, Wang Wenhua can only be a stumbling on the surface. Because, he knows, the relationship between the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and the secretary of the county party committee is ostensibly the relationship between the leader and the led, but in fact it is not exactly like this.

The deputy secretary of the municipal party committee is nothing but an assistant to the secretary of the municipal party committee. However, the secretary of the county party committee is a powerful feudal official. Especially after the reform and opening up, in the face of the democratic election system, the municipal party committee and the county party committee still have the color of the game to a certain extent.

In the old industrial city of Beiliao, the municipal party committee used to be dismissive of the county party committee. Compared with the urban area, the county is poor and backward, and the reason why the province lets the city manage the county is to let the city support the economic construction of the county.

For a long time, the county was like a beggar, and it was difficult to sustain the support finances without the city. Therefore, the secretary of the county party committee should not say that he has met the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, but also meet the cadres of the municipal party committee, and he is also respectful.

However, after the reform and opening up, the people's election system made the municipal party committee taste the bitterness of despising the county party committee. Whether it is a party congress or a people's congress delegate, the quota is allocated according to the region.

The number of representatives in the county always has the advantage of the majority. Sometimes, if the candidate recommended by the city party committee does not conform to the will of the people, several county party secretaries can make the candidate lose the election by hinting to their subordinate representatives.

Such a thing, if it happens once or twice, can still be regarded as an unexpected special situation. However, more than three times in a row, the provincial party committee will criticize the secretary of the municipal party committee for lacking the ability to control the overall situation, and even for lacking the ability to govern.

In this way, the secretary of the municipal party committee and the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee usually dare not despise the secretaries of the county party committee too much.

Especially on election days, they even need to turn to the secretaries of the county party committees to do more positive work to persuade their deputies to be consistent with the provincial and municipal party committees and ensure that a certain candidate is elected with a high number of votes.

Wang Wenhua has been in officialdom for so many years, and he has long known the delicate relationship between cities and counties. Therefore, listening to Secretary Yu's words, I also understood the weight of the words of the senior secretary of the county party committee.

"Since it is the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee who said so, you can change it! Once that Wang Lan'er is divorced, she will be a single woman, I advise you to stay away from her. "My wife, who has never participated in politics, expressed her opinions at this time.

"Hmm." Wang Wenhua hadn't made up his mind what to do, but he hummed obediently. He knew what his wife was worried about. Wang Lan'er is indeed too beautiful, but it is also too easy to become the focus of attention.

Don't talk about a petty official like Wang Wenhua, even if he is a man with determination, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no scandals when he is close to such a woman.

Halfway to the commute to work, Wang Lan'er called and asked him to go to her. Wang Wenhua knew that she was going to talk to herself about it, so she let the car turn a corner.

Was she forced by her father-in-law to take the initiative to retreat? Or is it determined that you have to be the heroine? Wang Wenhua's heart seemed uneasy.

In the first month, the weather outside is still very cold, Wang Lan'er has put a white sweater under her windbreaker, but she is naturally beautiful and has an excellent figure, no matter what kind of clothes she wears, she still looks so slender and lovely.

Slim and elegant, the distant view is as light as a smoke willow, and the near look is bright and beautiful. Seeing Wang Wenhua's heartbeat, he remembered the word "color and precaution" that Buddhists often say, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In the face of such a beauty, it is okay not to quit." ”

The car entered the south gate of the community, Wang Wenhua got out of the car and waved, watched Xiao Liu drive the car away, and then went upstairs with Wang Lan'er.

"Lan'er, haven't you returned to Qinglan County these days?"

"Nope." Wang Lan'er flashed a pair of big watery eyes, and said in a long voice: "Me and him...... Separated! This is my aunt's house, she went to Shenyang to bring her grandson, just let me stay for a few days......"

Wang Wenhua walked into the house, changed his slippers, took off his suit and hung it up, helped Wang Lan'er to sit on the sofa, and then tore open a beautifully packaged food bag that he had just bought.

He took out potato chips from it, stuffed them into her mouth, and teased her easily: "Say, Lan'er, what are you looking for me?" Do you want to insist on being the heroine? ”

"No!" Wang Lan'er turned out to be another answer, "I want to quit ......"

"What? Quit? Wang Wenhua really couldn't believe that his ears would hear such an answer.

"Lan'er, this draft is highly competitive. You've come up after five levels and six generals! Wang Wenhua didn't know that he said this, was it a reminder to her? Encourage her to quit? Or are you afraid that she will regret it and change her mind?

"Brother, you let me win the first place, and I am already very satisfied. For this role, I wasn't that eager to get it. Wang Lan'er said her reasons calmly, it seems that her decision was not caused by a whim.

"Lan'er, you have such good conditions, why do you refuse this opportunity to get ahead? Is it because of Secretary Gao's pressure? ”

"It's not."

"Is it because of what kind of fame Kudzu Teng has made?"

"Not really." Wang Lan'er shook her head vigorously.

"That'...... Why, exactly? ”

"Because I need self-esteem, self-respect." Wang Lan'er finally came up with a brilliant answer.

"Isn't being an actor self-esteem and self-respect? Now there are so many female stars, all of whom are successful people envy! ”

"They succeeded. However, the price they pay is also enormous. Wang Lan'er said something else,

"Brother, you know, after they become famous, they need to accompany them to drink, dance, and even pay taxes...... Does such a successful woman still have self-esteem? Does such a woman still feel happy? ”

"Lan'er, this is a rare opportunity. If you don't catch it, you may regret it for the rest of your life. Wang Wenhua began to beat her.

"Brother, don't worry. I don't regret my choice. Wang Lan'er was determined to quit, stood up easily, and said, "Brother, it's hard to meet alone once, can you accompany me to the mall to buy a shirt?" ”
