Chapter 298: Toilet Theory

readx; The drizzle flew all over the sky, covering the earth unscrupulously, and the night dyed a thin veil on the waterfront earth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The lights in the municipal axe office are bright, Wang Zhaodong is racking his brains to prepare speech materials for Mayor Zhou, tomorrow morning will be held a mobilization meeting for the construction of the new countryside, the township party and government leaders, the main and responsible leaders of the departments involved, and the heads of business departments will participate, as Mayor Zhou's secretary, Wang Zhaodong will definitely not dare to slack off.

The door of the office was pushed open, and Wang Zhaodong noticed that Mayor Zhou, who came in from outside, did not look right, his face was gloomy, and there was an anxiety in his eyes, as if in order to hide this unknown anxiety, Mayor Zhou did not express his anger after sitting down in the seat behind the desk, but complained to Director Liu of the Agricultural Bureau.

It is normal for leaders to criticize their subordinates, but it is the first time that Wang Zhaodong has seen the person who is not here like today, but he is talking to himself. After all, he has been serving the leader for almost two years, and Tian Zhaodong is not ignorant of Zhou Yi, let alone the kind of person who likes to talk about people behind his back.

Wang Zhaodong pondered for a moment, then grabbed the freshly printed materials and stood up, walked into the mayor's office in the middle of the room, handed over the materials, and said cautiously: "Boss, tomorrow's speech materials are ready, can you see what else needs to be revised?" ”

Only then did Zhou Yi realize that he had lost his temper, glanced at the speech, and asked thoughtfully: "Xiao Wang, you have been working by my side for almost two years, have you ever thought about going down to exercise?" ”

Strange things happen every year, especially today. I went back to the office so late, and then complained about Lao Liu of the Agricultural Bureau without a head, and now I asked about this again. Wang Zhaodong realized the seriousness of the problem, and secretly wondered if the boss's secretary dream was shattered, or he wouldn't have asked himself this question.

The old secretary has served two consecutive terms, and everyone thinks that Zhou Yi is the best candidate to replace him. Organizationally, during the old secretary's illness and hospitalization, he was appointed to preside over the work of the municipal party committee and municipal axe. Everything is so logical, and now it is just a matter of appointment from the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee.

Entering the officialdom means embarking on the road of no turning back, and can only move forward without hesitation, seeking political progress and getting ahead, which is the dream goal of all officialdom. The secretary's future is tied to the leader, it can be said that there is both glory and loss, Wang Zhaodong's heart was completely cold, and he was stunned for a while before he asked: "Boss, I ...... I...... Me, did I make a mistake? ”

"No, I'm just asking."

Zhou Yi waved his hand, and while motioning for him to go out, he said lightly: "Call Director Chen of the Beijing Office and ask him to think of a way to see if he can purchase five hundred copies of "The Danger of the Prosperous Age". Act quickly, and the book will be flown back as soon as it is bought. ”

"Is this the one?" Secretary Wang was confused, but he still walked to the bookshelf and took out "Professor Tian's quotations".

"Well, this is it."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly, and continued expressionlessly: "By the way, if you have time, you should also take a look, the content is very rich and profound, and it is worth reading." ”

This is anti-corruption propaganda material, shouldn't the wind have changed, and there will be an anti-corruption storm, right? After working in the municipal government for so long, Wang Zhaodong still has a little bit of a politically sensitive surname, and quickly nodded and said: "Yes, boss, I must study carefully." ”

While talking, Director Ding of the United Front Work Department of the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary Ge of the Political and Legal Committee, and Minister Chen of the Propaganda Department, who had a good relationship with Zhou Yi, walked in with a small bag of fish.

"You go out, let's talk something." The atmosphere was a little weird, Mayor Zhou actually didn't let him pour water for the guests, so he kicked him out of the office.

As soon as the office door was closed, Secretary Ge, who was in a hurry, asked impatiently: "Old Zhou, is the news true?" ”

Zhou Yi sighed lightly, nodded and smiled bitterly: "Minister Zhang personally called me, can this be fake?" To put it in my heart, I don't care if I don't have this secretary, I'm afraid that Xiang Zhuang will dance the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong, and people have other plans. ”

"No matter how highly educated you are, you are also a scholar. Besides, even if you go down to a temporary post, you should be arranged into the discipline inspection and supervision system. I don't have local work experience, and I will take on a real job at once, and it's too child's play. ”

Secretary Ge's words are not unreasonable, in fact, the local political axe still welcomes the cadres of the central ministries and commissions to come down and take up temporary posts. After all, not only do they not occupy the local establishment, but they also have a little "dowry". But it is another matter to talk about Professor Tian Da, because he is from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he is even under the banner of anti-corruption and clean government.

"The official level crushes people to death, what's the use of us talking about this?"

Zhou Yi took a deep puff of his cigarette, puffed out the light blue circles under his eyes, and said helplessly: "Besides, people are not without local work experience, not only is he a fake flood hero, but also has served as the director of the Office of Physical Reform, the deputy secretary of the Working Committee of the Development Zone, the deputy secretary of the county party committee and the acting county magistrate.

He has a Ph.D. from Harvard University, a Changjiang Scholar from the Ministry of Education, a senior researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, an adjunct professor at the Central Party School, and a deputy department-level researcher at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Center for the Theory of Clean Government. In Minister Zhang's words, if he is ten years older, it is not impossible to directly serve as the secretary of the Huazhou Municipal Party Committee. ”

Anti-corruption is not afraid, after all, everyone's butt is relatively clean. Even if there is a little flaw, it is also due to the general environment, is it possible that he can still take everyone down? But there is no doubt that the new official has three fires in office, and he is working with such a master who even provincial and ministerial-level leaders dare to scold, and it is undoubtedly sad.

Thinking of this, Minister Chen of the Propaganda Department said happily: "Fortunately, he is also the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and he can more or less share snacks. ”

Linshui is located at the junction of three provinces, where two national highways, one provincial highway and two highways intersect. Because of its unique geographical location, although it is the most remote county-level city in Huazhou City and even Linhai Province, for the sake of economic development, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee is still a member of the Standing Committee of the Huazhou Municipal Party Committee, and can be regarded as the leader of half of the city. So much so that in the past few years, the old secretary has spent more time in the city than in Linshui.

Minister Ding of the United Front Work Department was not as optimistic as him, but said with concern: "Why did the 14 prefectures and cities in the province and the eight counties and districts in the city parachute into our water? In my opinion, the problem is not so simple, perhaps it is because the municipal party committee or even the provincial party committee is dissatisfied with our work that they sent such a person to reverse the situation. ”

"What's the grievance?"

Secretary Ge of the Political and Legal Committee was not happy, with an indignant expression, and said coldly: "In terms of economic construction, we are the vanguard of Huazhou, and the GDP growth rate has been the second for three consecutive years, which still makes Huazhou occupy the light of the central city." In terms of the construction of the cadre ranks, we have not had any major corruption cases here. Not to mention public order, except for crimes with ordinary surnames, crimes such as intentional homicide rarely occur. ”

Now that everyone has gone to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, what's the use of talking about this now? Zhou Yi secretly sighed, and said helplessly: "It's not interesting to say this, let's face the reality." I just asked the Beijing Office to purchase hundreds of copies of the "Danger of the Prosperous Age" written by him, and sent it back to all units, and organized party members and cadres to study and study. ”

"It's only like this, I will let the Propaganda Department publicize and publicize it, and do some learning experience, essays after reading or something."

Zhou Yi nodded with satisfaction, then turned around, stared at the eyes of Secretary Ge of the Political and Legal Committee, and said very seriously: "Lao Ge, social security cannot be relaxed. In particular, those few professional petitioners must assist the comrades of the Letters and Visits Bureau to keep an eye on them, and they must not give them the opportunity to give play to their problems. ”

When he mentioned this, Secretary Ge was angry, and couldn't help but say: "The political and legal system should escort economic construction, but you can't always push us to the forefront." In the past, it was like this, but now the land acquisition is still like this, the Letters and Visits Bureau, the People's Congress, and the Municipal Bureau Inspectorate Office, complaining about a lot of materials about the public security system, and every time I go to the city and province for a meeting, I am scolded for being a dog blood spray, and in the long run, what do you do for our cadres and police? ”

Standing and talking does not hurt the back, now that the agricultural tax is exempted, the three mentions and the five unifications are not allowed to be collected, the cadre team is getting bigger and bigger, the appearance of the city must be improved, and the financial account cannot make ends meet, so it still owes the bank more than 300 million yuan, how can there be money to pay off debts and pay wages if you don't sell land?

GDP is political achievement, and if the economy is not good, it will be vetoed by one vote! Zhou Yi rubbed his temples and said with a wry smile: "Old Ge, you don't know my difficulties? Well, I'll go back and talk to the developers to see if I can raise the compensation standard. In addition, let all departments do the ideological work of the demolition households, and first pass the current situation. ”

At the same time, Professor Tian Da, who had just arrived in Linhai Province, came to the office of Secretary Wang of the Provincial Party Committee under the leadership of Director Zhang of the Organization Department of the Linshui Provincial Party Committee.

Although a county-level city is a city, it is still a county in the final analysis. Thinking that he, the secretary of the county party committee who had not yet taken office, could actually be received by the officials of the feudal territory, Professor Tian Da felt a little funny. After all, the difference in status between the two is too great, and opportunities like this are not available to every county magistrate secretary.

Secretary Wang is in his sixties, which is not young among the leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial level, and he may be well maintained, but he looks much younger than his actual age. Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were bright, and after looking Tian Wenjian up and down, he beckoned him to sit down, and said in a gentle voice: "It's better to be famous than to see it, it's really young and promising." Professor Tian, sit down, please take a seat. ”

"Secretary Wang smiled, Wen Jian is no longer a professor, he will be a small soldier under your command from now on, and I ask Secretary Wang to care more and criticize more."

Secretary Wang was happy, and immediately laughed and said: "If you don't learn well, don't reform, and turn back history; It's either absent or offside, and it's a thankless job; Raise fewer cadres and more pigs...... Comrade Tian Wenjian, I remember your criticism of us very clearly, but I didn't expect that in 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, you would also have to accept criticism one day. ”

"Looks like I have to be careful, I don't want you to pull any pigtails." Professor Tian smiled with an expression that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"It's not that easy to pull your pigtails, I don't have the intention of doing so."

Secretary Wang sat beside him, and while motioning for Minister Zhang, who was accompanying him, to drink tea, he smiled and said, "Although we met in Pingshui, what kind of person are you?" I still know a little bit about it. I invite you here today to talk about what you plan to do after taking office, after all, I am old, and many parts are not very obedient, especially the heart, and I always want to strike at me, so that I can have a mental preparation. ”

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, but I didn't expect that even the secretary of the provincial party committee was afraid that he would cause trouble on his territory, Professor Tian Da was made ridiculous, and hurriedly smiled: "Secretary Wang, don't worry, Wenjian will never cause you trouble." As for what I plan to do after taking office, I really can't say for a while, after all, without investigation, there is no right to speak, and what I say now is tantamount to talking on paper. ”

There are many experts and professors Secretary Wang, and there are several scholar-type officials in the province, but it is really rare to see someone as modest and cautious as Tian Wenjian, and it can be seen that he is indeed a person who wants to do something practical.

Secretary Wang nodded noncommittally, then his face turned straight, and he said very seriously: "Comrade Tian Wenjian, frankly speaking, I have a different attitude on the issue of appointing you as the secretary of the Linshui Municipal Party Committee. This does not mean that I doubt your ability, nor that I am worried that you will cause any trouble, but that I think that you are too condescending to serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee of a county-level city. In my opinion, it would be more appropriate for you to be the director of the Political Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee, or the dean of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. ”

Secretary Wang's words sounded high-sounding, which reminded Tian Wenjian of a bad joke: an incompetent official may have three ways out: one is to apply for retirement and give up his position to a capable person; the second is to let a capable person assist him; The third is to appoint people with a lower level than oneself as assistants.

The feudal official in front of him said that he was incompetent, Tian Wenjian didn't know, but he should belong to the second category of officials. At the very least, it is much better than choosing the third way, after all, once the third way is chosen, then his subordinates will undoubtedly find a few more incompetent subordinates, and so on, forming a leadership system with bloated, overstaffed, and inefficient.

Of course, this is not absolute, because his own situation is relatively special, and the decision made by the head of the Central Committee does not have many opportunities for him to choose.

Tian Wenjian pondered for a moment, and simply said bluntly: "Secretary Wang, if it was just to get an official position under your command, then I would not have come to Linhai, and I would not even return to China." ”

Without waiting for Secretary Wang to speak, Minister Zhang interjected and said meaningfully: "Comrade Xiaotian, Linshui's economic development in recent years has been quite stable, and the leading group also has a certain combat effectiveness. If it weren't for the geographical location, the location of the municipal party committee and municipal axe would not be placed in Huazhou as it is now, but in the waterfront. ”

It's still that set, you might as well say that Linshui's current achievements are hard-won, you don't need to send charcoal in the snow, and you don't need to be icing on the cake, you kid know each other, take the initiative to retreat, we will give you an official promotion, how happy is it?

There is only one opportunity, to be a parent official, Professor Tian Da didn't want to give up halfway, so he simply started haha: "The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to pick such a big peach." Secretary Wang and Minister Zhang, although you two can rest assured, don't forget to dig wells, and the Wenjian will handle the relationship with colleagues. ”

Strictly speaking, "parachuting" cadres is a kind of figurative expression; strictly speaking, it is a normal part of the cadre exchange and training system, and it is also a measure to intensify the training and selection of outstanding young cadres, to encourage young cadres to temper and grow up at the grassroots level and in hardship areas, and at the same time to pay attention to selecting outstanding cadres from the grassroots level and the production line to enrich the party and government leading organs at all levels.

But in addition to these positive effects, there are also certain negative effects. Many "airborne" cadres have been working for a year or two just to gild them, but they have not yet figured out the way to work below, and they have been transferred away again, which has seriously dampened the enthusiasm of local and grassroots cadres and is not conducive to local stability and development.

Generally speaking, people still generally approve of the selection of cadres from the grassroots level, but criticize the "airborne" and "return-to-pot" methods of selection.

After years of non-tossing development, Linshui has formed a kind of "political stability" with local surnames, and this stability is maintained by relying on a relatively stable network of relations among cadres. If such a network can operate actively and smoothly, it will be able to stabilize one side and ensure the smooth development of the other. If it fails, then there will be problems with the stability and development of the place.

The country has its own national conditions, and the province has its own provincial conditions, and Professor Tian Da can't even speak Linshui, so it is difficult to integrate into the relatively good Linshui tradition, not to mention that he himself is an unstable factor. There is undoubtedly a great risk in making him the secretary of the municipal party committee. It is precisely because of this that Secretary Wang and Minister Zhang threw out two department-level black hats of the director of the Political Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee and the president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, trying to make him give up on his own initiative.

Tian Wenjian is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, Secretary Wang is completely gone, after all, he is just a secretary of the municipal party committee of a county-level city, he can not give face, but the head of the central government can't not give face, so he has to say lightly: "Minister Zhang, since Xiao Tian is so determined, then please go to Huazhou to take up his post in person." ”

"Okay, it's okay in the afternoon anyway."

The head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee personally stepped out, and this face was really great. Tian Wenjian hurriedly stood up and said sincerely: "Thank you, thank you Secretary Wang and Minister Zhang for your concern, Wenjian will never disappoint the hopes of the two leaders, let alone embarrass the two of you." ”

Sending you there is not any hope for you, but to maintain the prestige of the organization. After all, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and you are in the capital to mix well, which does not mean that you can open up the situation in Huazhou.

Secretary Wang sighed secretly, and while motioning for him to sit down, he said coldly: "I won't tell you more about those words for the sake of being an official and benefiting one party." But no matter what you want to do, it can't affect the economic development of Linshui and even Huazhou, GDP is a hard indicator, but also the bottom limit, I hope you don't let us down. ”

Knowing that development and development are re-developed, but turning a blind eye to the problems that exist in development and the problems it brings, the ambitious Professor Tian Da will not set up this military order, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly said: "Secretary Wang, there are many guests in my house during the Spring Festival, and there is a three-year-old child, everyone is sitting on the sofa watching TV, his father is thirsty, and he asked my 3-year-old niece to get a glass of water."

My niece was very sensible, and immediately climbed down from the couch, and after a while came back with a glass of water, and his father took the cup and took a sip and praised my niece. I wondered and asked her how her dad could get water before the tap was high. ”

This kid, I really thought he was still a professor at the party school, and he actually taught himself a lesson. Secretary Wang was happy, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "How did you get it?" ”

Professor Tian nodded and said casually: "His father thought hard for a long time before he painfully came to the conclusion: there is only a toilet!" ”

Secretary Wang's tears were about to burst out of laughter, and it took a while to understand what he meant. Because this story gives a conclusion, that is, when superiors assign tasks to subordinates that are beyond the difficulty, the results are often unexpected.

Professor Tianda's hard work was not in vain, Secretary Wang weighed it and said resolutely: "Forget it, since it is a pilot, let you throw off your arms and try, GDP will not be used as an assessment target for the time being, so you can save your kid from bringing a cup of toilet water to me to drink." ”
