Peng Yuanzheng ignored these rumors, as usual busy with the things at hand, after this period of emergency operation, the mechanical and electrical equipment trading center and the agricultural condiment distribution center two projects finally entered the substantive construction stage, on April 21, Feiteng Industrial Company and Xin'an City Urban Construction and Development Company respectively as the developer of the two projects, into the construction.

In the morning, Guo Weiquan hurriedly walked into Peng Yuanzheng's office and said with a loud smile: "County Magistrate Peng, the start of work has started, 10:18 in the morning." However, I have just received a notice from the municipal government office that the city has asked us to hold a groundbreaking ceremony for a project as the opening event of the city's 'project promotion year', saying that Mayor Meng will personally attend the event. ”

"It is better to say that it is the day after tomorrow - tomorrow is the mobilization meeting of the city's project construction promotion year, and the project will start the day after tomorrow, which is just in line with the spirit of the city's conference."

Peng Yuanzheng frowned.

He didn't want to do any more groundbreaking ceremonies, these two projects have been delayed for so long, and so many things happened halfway, so it is better to seize the time to promote the construction. However, the city's demands could not but be implemented -- he thought about it again and again, since these two projects were Mayor Zhou's grassroots contact points, it was reasonable for the city government office to "operate" them.

Thinking of this, Peng Yuanzheng smiled lightly: "Then do a ceremony according to the requirements of the city, but make it simpler, don't be too extravagant and wasteful, the procedure is as simple as possible, and the time is not suitable for the process, just control it within ten minutes." The day after tomorrow, I will go to Zelin City to participate in the on-site meeting of the project to benefit farmers and rejuvenate agriculture and rich peasants organized by the provincial government, so I will not participate. ”

Guo Weiquan was taken aback: "You are the main leader of the county government. Besides, these two projects are driven by you, how can you not participate? ”

Peng Yuanzheng smiled bitterly: "Lao Guo, it's just a ceremony, who attends and who doesn't, is it necessary to be so serious?" I'm not in the county, just a few of your leaders can attend. You presided over the ceremony and asked Comrade Mingran to deliver a speech on behalf of the county government. Secretary Ouyang received the leaders of the city on behalf of the county...... So be it. ”

Guo Weiquan saw Peng Yuanzheng's resolute attitude, so he had no choice but to keep silent. In fact, what he wanted to say was an on-site meeting on rural construction. Just let the deputy county magistrate in charge of agriculture attend, why bother to attend in person.

Peng Yuanzheng is going to Zelin City to hold this on-site meeting, of course, it is related to Qin Feng. Qin Feng had already taken leave to go back to his parents' house in Zelin City for vacation. Peng Yuanzheng promised her that he would go to Zelin City to accompany her for two days, so this time he temporarily decided to participate in the on-site meeting organized by the province.

On the morning of April 23, the launching ceremony of the logistics industrial park project was held in neighboring counties. Meng Qiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and executive vice mayor, led officials from the Municipal Construction Committee, the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission and other relevant functional departments to attend the ceremony. In the county, Guo Weiquan, deputy county magistrate, presided over the ceremony, Li Mingran, member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and deputy county magistrate, introduced the project preparation and planning on behalf of the county government, and Ouyang Yong, deputy secretary of the county party committee, delivered a speech on behalf of the county party committee and county government.

The ceremony was not long, less than half an hour before and after, and ended quickly. After the ceremony. Meng Qiang also took officials from the municipal department to inspect and visit the construction of the project in the neighboring county, stayed in the county for dinner at noon, and returned to the city in the afternoon.

This in itself is not a problem. But Peng Yuanzheng unexpectedly did not appear at the ceremony, which immediately aroused the suspicion of many people in the county. In particular, Li Mingran introduced the project on behalf of the county government, which directly became a catalyst for the spread of rumors.

Peng Yuanzheng is about to fall. The neighboring county is about to change - this version of the rumor has escalated almost in the shortest possible time - and the news that Peng Yuanzheng is going to be dismissed from his post or even taken down due to economic problems has spread.

This kind of rumor first spread among the cadres of ordinary organs, and later spread to the level of middle-level cadres in the county. Many section-level cadres called everywhere to inquire, and for a while, the county was in chaos, and some ghosts, snakes, and gods began to stir again. …,

Ma Qianjun put down the phone a little irritably, ready to go out to breathe. A whole afternoon. The telephone calls in his office never stopped, and cadres from various departments and units directly under the county government, as well as from townships and towns, called him to inquire about the "truth," which made him annoyed and laughed.

Of course, Ma Qianjun would not believe this rumor. But his "explanations" did not help at all, and only contributed to the spread of rumors.

Ma Qianjun thought about it and went to Guo Weiquan's office. knocked on the door and went in to see that Li Mingran and Yan Hua were there. Ma Qianjun was just about to withdraw, Guo Weiquan waved his hand and said, "Old Ma, you don't have to go, I'm looking for you." ”

After speaking, Guo Weiquan turned his head and said in a deep voice with Li Mingran and Yan Hua: "Lao Li, Lao Yan, I just said, the atmosphere in the county is very bad!" At every turn, gossip comes out frequently, and there are rumors behind people at every turn! Look, County Magistrate Peng just went to Zelin City for a meeting, and it was rumored that the clouds and mountains were foggy! Although there will be gossip in the city, I have worked in the city for more than ten years, and I have never encountered such a situation as now! It's outrageous! ”

Yan Hua was in a calm mind, because as an old man in the county, she had long been surprised by this. She smiled and said: "The more impoverished and backward the area, the easier it is to listen to the wind and rain, which is inevitable." This has been the case for a long time in neighboring counties, and one year, I went to the province to see a doctor and take a few days off, and the results were good -- some people said that I was shuanggui by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. So, this kind of thing, don't pay attention to it, it's self-defeating after two days of discussion! ”

Li Mingran frowned and said: "I think it's just that people are floating in things, and nothing is wrong!" There are too many idlers in the organs, six or seven people in many departments, sitting in the office every day drinking tea and reading newspapers, and they don't do a little! You say that such a person, he doesn't spread rumors behind his back, what else can he do? Therefore, it is not enough for us to simply rectify our work style, nor is it possible to cure the root cause and cure the root cause -- only as County Magistrate Peng said, streamline the administration and improve efficiency! ”

Yan Hua glanced at Li Mingran, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: How simple is it as you say! The overlapping of party and government organs and the superfluity of people is not a matter that only exists today, but a problem that has accumulated over a long period of time. However, the successive county party committees and county government bodies have all had a headache with this problem, but they have not really touched the essence of the problem, and the key lies in the fact that from the perspective of the overall environment, there is no exit mechanism within the administrative system, and if they can go up or down, who will be laid off? Who to let go? And the integration of institutions, the merger of institutions is the merger of cadres, how to place so many cadres?

Whoever is involved in the interests will cause shock in the county. Few leaders dared to make such a ruthless move, even if it was Peng Yuanzheng, who had thunderous means and a strong sense of reform, he still had to think about it slowly.

Guo Weiquan sighed lightly, "Lao Li, streamlining government is easier said than done, but for the time being, it is difficult to make a substantial breakthrough." In my opinion, it is better to start with the rectification of work style, continue to promote the project of sending cadres to the countryside, and let the idlers in the organs go to the townships and towns for a year or two to exercise. ”

The project of "transposition experience and cadres going to the countryside" was proposed by Peng Yuanzheng after he presided over the work of the county government, and Li Mingran was in charge. But later, because of the great pressure and the resistance of the cadres, two batches were implemented and put on hold for the time being. Peng Yuanzheng was busy with the construction of the project, so he didn't care about it.

Li Mingran nodded categorically: "I think that's it." I will convene a meeting of the leaders of various departments tomorrow to organize and deploy the third batch as soon as possible! Save some people from being idle! ”

The leaders of the three counties were discussing the work style of the organs, and Ma Qianjun stood aside with some embarrassment, unable to interject, so he could only lower his head and secretly muttered to Guo Weiquan what he was doing with him.

While he was talking, Wei Mingxuan, director of the county construction committee, also arrived.

Seeing Wei Mingxuan coming, Li Mingran and Yan Hua got up together and smiled, "Okay, Lao Guo, you are busy with yours, let's go our separate ways-by the way, County Magistrate Peng didn't say when he would come back?" ”…,

"The meeting is today and tomorrow, maybe County Magistrate Peng will come back the day after tomorrow? Not necessarily, when the county magistrate Peng left, he told me that he might stay in Zelin City for a few days to inspect a project. ”

Guo Weiquan sent the two out with a smile.

Wei Mingxuan and Ma Qianjun looked at each other, not knowing what Guo Weiquan had done with the two of them at this "sensitive moment".

Guo Weiquan turned around, the smile on his face slowly faded, he sat behind the desk with a solemn expression, nodded to the two of them, and said, "You also sit, sit down and talk." ”

Seeing that Guo Weiquan was so serious, Ma Qianjun and Wei Mingxuan felt even more bottomless in their hearts, and sat on the sofa nervously, sitting upright with bated breath.

Guo Weiquan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Before County Magistrate Peng left, he arranged a job for me. I'm going to think about it, and I'm going to ventilate with the two of you first. ”

"The county magistrate Peng asked me to take the lead in preparing for the establishment of a government asset operation company, and the specific idea is for us to learn from the asset operation company in Yunshui Town, Xin'an District. This matter should have been done in the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office, but County Magistrate Peng took into account the specific situation of the county and prepared to set up a special agency for the asset operation office in the county. ”

Ma Qianjun and Wei Mingxuan were taken aback, the concept of a government asset operation company was the first time they had heard of it. Moreover, it is even more sensitive to set up a special office instead of a state-owned assets office within the Finance Bureau.

"Let's not make any noise about this first, let's do some research and preparatory work first. The two of you take the time to go to Yunshui Town, Xin'an District to study, and then come up with a preliminary plan. ”

"There is one thing that needs to be explained to you: in the next step, with the expansion of the new urban area of the county, the office of the county party committee and the county government will definitely be transferred to the north, and the preparation of this asset operation company should be considered in the context of the northward movement of the county government affairs center." Guo Wei waved his hand solemnly, "Things are more sensitive, don't make a noise until the time is ripe." Let's do the groundwork first, and then roll it out when County Magistrate Peng returns. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
