Chapter 471 The director is confused

On the first day of his tenure, Yuan Xiaosheng's butt was still hot, when he heard bad news: Ma Shuicheng, director of the Municipal Economic and Trade Bureau, committed suicide in his office.

At first glance, when he heard the news, Yuan Xiaosheng almost didn't laugh, thinking that this was a ridiculous thing that couldn't be more absurd. In the past more than 30 years of reform and development, the Economic and Trade Bureau has been a department that exists in name only, and all the business in charge of the past has basically been carved up by the development and reform, industry and commerce, taxation and other departments, and the director of the Economic and Trade Bureau is no different from the director of the Political Research Office, and all that can be done is to provide the leaders with some policy references, and without power, naturally there will be no work pressure, and the chances of corruption are even more slim, so how can they commit suicide. Isn't this a ridiculous thing to do?

If you have to make a reasonable guess, it is that this gentleman feels that his future is bleak, and he is depressed and unhappy all day long, causing family conflicts such as the uncoordinated relationship between husband and wife.

However, after all, the director of the Municipal Economic and Trade Bureau is a department-level cadre, and his unexplained suicide has aroused speculation among many people. There are even more rumors in the market, saying that there are all kinds of things, some people say that Ma Shuicheng did not commit suicide at all but killed him; Some people also say that Ma Shuicheng contracted AIDS in an inappropriate life, knew that his time was short, and committed suicide to seek relief; Some people also say that Ma Shuicheng's mother-in-law slept with so-and-so, and Ma Shuicheng had no shame to see Jiangdong's father again, so he committed suicide in shame. In short, everyone seems to be deliberately stirring up a puddle of muddy water, no matter what version it is, it has a nose and eyes, as if they have seen it with their own eyes.

The rumors in the market cannot be controlled, but the mainstream media can still grasp it. On the day Ma Shuicheng committed suicide, Li Dongquan, secretary of the municipal party committee, strictly ordered Sun Guokai, director of the Propaganda Department, the city daily, the city evening newspaper, and the city radio station not to chase after the wind and shadows, and to report for duty at will. Therefore, what you can see on TV and newspapers is only one brief news: Comrade Ma Shuicheng, director of the Municipal Economic and Trade Bureau, unfortunately passed away on a certain day, month, and year. As for how he died, not a word was mentioned.

Because he has just taken office and has not yet been exposed to specific work, Yuan Xiaosheng is also relatively idle during this time, and in addition to socializing every day, he sits in the office and flips through the newspaper casually. After seeing the report in the newspaper, I felt that Li Dongquan was a little too cautious in doing this, even if it was written in the newspaper that Ma Shuicheng committed suicide, what could he do. If a person is not a sage or a sage, can a county and department-level cadre not have a time when he can't think about it? What's more, it's better to take the initiative to tell everyone than to let people speculate.

But looking at it, Yuan Xiaosheng felt that something was wrong. Since he felt that there was nothing to be told about, how could Li Dongquan not think of it. Moreover, Ma Shuicheng committed suicide, which has little to do with him being a secretary, so why didn't he let it be reported. It seems to be a little unreasonable.

Could it be that there is really something wrong with Ma Shuicheng's death? It's really as rumored that it wasn't suicide, but homicide. The Economic and Trade Bureau is on the third floor of the municipal government building, sharing a floor with some offices of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and the Development and Reform Bureau. What's more, there are armed police guards at the entrance of the city government, and there are guards on duty inside, and it is not easy for outsiders to enter the municipal building to commit murder.

If you're an insider, it's probably a different story. But who would kill a bureau chief with no real power for no reason?

Yuan Xiaosheng was thinking wildly, and Li Dongquan's phone called.

"Xiaosheng, after coming to the city, are you still used to life?" Li Dongquan asked cordially.

After being transferred to the city, except for the first day, after visiting Li Dongquan in the office, the two have never met.

"It's okay, thank you Secretary Li for your concern." Yuan Xiaosheng said politely.

"That's good, that's good, hehe," Li Dongquan said in a very kind tone, "Do you have something to do now?" If there's nothing to do, come to my office, I have something I want to talk to you about, okay? ”

"Okay, Secretary Li, I'll go over right away."

Although Yuan Xiaosheng didn't know what Li Dongquan asked him to do at this time, he immediately agreed. However, after hanging up the phone, Yuan Xiaosheng did not leave immediately, but sat in the chair and thought about it, then grabbed his notebook and walked to Li Dongquan's office.

The municipal party committee and the municipal government were in a compound, and when they knocked on the door and entered Li Dongquan's office, Mayor Lan Xintian was already sitting on the sofa, not knowing what to say to Li Dongquanzheng. Yuan Xiaosheng sat down on the sofa opposite.

"Xiaosheng, you have been wronged. Of course, I also hope you can understand that the municipal party committee is actually doing this for your own good. At least I gave you a clean slate. You say, don't you? ”

Without any prelude, Li Dongquan directly talked about the isolation and review of the original Xiaosheng. Of course, he will never just talk, the main purpose is to understand Yuan Xiaosheng's attitude. Although according to the convention, Yuan Xiaosheng will not have any opinions, not to mention, Yuan Xiaosheng is now the deputy mayor, but in his impression, Yuan Xiaosheng is still a little different except for his young age, and he still wants to hear Yuan Xiaosheng say it himself.

"Yes, yes, I understand that the municipal party committee is actually loving and caring for us front-line cadres." Yuan Xiaosheng naturally would not fight with Li Dongquan at this time.

Lan Xintian smiled on the side and added: "Secretary Li, the consistent style of caring for cadres is a model in the city. Of course, Secretary Li will never be merciful to the real corrupt elements. ”

Li Dongquan waved his hand with a smile and changed the topic: "Don't talk about this." I called you two over today, mainly to tell you about Ma Shuicheng and see what your government is going to do. Shui Cheng is a good comrade, who has worked conscientiously for the cause of the party and the country for decades, and he never imagined that he would take this step. It's also that I, the secretary, don't care enough about him. ”

As Li Dongquan spoke, he felt a little sad, as if the death of Ma Shuicheng of the Economic and Trade Bureau really made him very sad.

Lan Xintian said: "Secretary Li doesn't have to be too guilty. In fact, in the final analysis, it is still the responsibility of me, the mayor, Comrade Shui Cheng is a person from the city government, and I don't care enough about him, and I am directly responsible. I asked the city party committee to punish me. ”

Li Dongquan sighed and said: "The people have already left, and it is useless to punish anyone." Let's think about the aftermath. Of course, we must take this as a warning in the future. In the past, we often said that we should care about the masses of the people, but we ignored that the cadres around us also need to care. This is also a major mistake in our work. Similar tragedies must not be allowed to happen again in the future. ”

Lan Xintian said: "Yes, yes, I think the main reason is that I, the mayor, don't care enough about the cadres below." I will definitely take this as a warning in the future. ”

Yuan Xiaosheng was a little puzzled when he listened to it. Ma Shuicheng committed suicide, what does it have to do with you Lan Xintian. Could it be that you, the mayor, care more about it, Ma Shuicheng will not commit suicide. Besides, there is still no real reason for Ma Shuicheng's suicide, why do you Lan Xintian want to take it on yourself. also took the initiative to ask the municipal party committee to punish you, isn't it that you have eaten too much and have nothing to do. Could it be that your Lan Xintian has something to do with Wang Shuicheng's death? Or, as the rumors say, you are Ma Shuicheng's wife's adulterer? Haha, if that's the case, it's big enough for God to make this joke with Comrade Ma Shuicheng, and it's no wonder that he can't think of committing suicide.

Of course, for Li and Lan's conversation, Yuan Xiaosheng, as the deputy mayor, is not easy to interject, not to mention that he has just arrived in the city for a long time, and it is not easy to express any opinions casually, no matter how doubtful he is, he can only hide it.

Yuan Xiaosheng sat aside and speculated, and Li Dongquan suggested: "Comrade Xintian, should your municipal government send someone to Comrade Shuicheng's house first to express condolences on behalf of the municipal party committee and the municipal government?" I think let's let Xiaosheng go. What do you say, Xiaosheng? ”

Yuan Xiaosheng thought that Li Dongquan called him over, but it was just for show, and he didn't expect to send a job to himself, but after all, he was a person from the city government, so it was not good to agree immediately, his eyes quickly swept over Lan Xintian's face, and he smiled at Li Dongquan, not committal.

Li Dongquan laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm too anxious." However, this is only my personal proposal, and does not represent the opinion of the municipal party committee, as for how your municipal government will make arrangements, you can decide for yourself. ”

Lan Xintian hurriedly said: "Secretary Li misunderstood, I also think it is more appropriate to let Mayor Xiaoyuan go." I will definitely follow Secretary Li's wishes. ”

Li Dongquan smiled and said in a joking tone: "Okay, good, but you can't say that I interfere in your government's affairs." I can't afford to wear this big hat. ”

Lan Xintian smiled and didn't say anything more.

However, Yuan Xiaosheng seemed to be able to see a trace of unspeakable embarrassment in Lan Xintian's eyes. Maybe Lan Xintian once said this.

Coming out of Li Dongquan's office, Yuan Xiaosheng found that Lan Xintian's face had been gloomy. Yuan Xiaosheng, who has never been good at conspiracies, had a whim and wanted to create some trouble, so he shook his head and smiled faintly: "I often hear people below, you and Secretary Li are at odds. Now it seems that it is all rumors. Let me see, it should be said that you are Secretary Li's right-hand man. ”

This is a very subtle statement, you are a mayor, and it is not wrong to say that you are the right-hand man of the secretary. But in fact, everyone knows that the power relationship between the mayor and the secretary sometimes has a lot of conflicts, just like the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the secretary of the municipal party committee wants to see the overall situation, it is inevitable to interfere in the mayor's work, and the mayor naturally can't let go of his hands and feet, as if he is always living under the watchful eye of others, which will inevitably produce a certain rebellious mentality, and will inevitably have prejudices against this mother-in-law. But after all, people are mothers-in-law, no matter whether they are right or wrong, they must be respected, and after a long time, contradictions will naturally arise. Unless, the secretary of the municipal party committee can't find any fault, so that the mayor has nothing to say, and he admires it very much. But this is almost non-existent.
