The season soon entered the autumn, the camphor outside the window is evergreen in all seasons, a row of magnolia trunks are dark gray, the bark is rough and cracked, the crown is broadly ovate, the tree body is strong, majestic and majestic, the growth is strong, the nodes are long and the branches are sparse; The most nostalgic downstairs that the tree posture is elegant, green branches and green leaves, evergreen in all seasons, fragrant and pleasant osmanthus tree, it is in the flowering season, the flower color is orange and yellow, the smell is strong, the leaves are thick, and there is a burst of elegant fragrance wafting with the wind.

Du Ziyan stood in front of the wide glass window, slowly took out a cigarette, pinched it with his right hand, paused lightly on the nail of his left hand, and then slowly took out a lighter, not in a hurry to light it, and thought slowly in his head: The annual municipal government election is coming soon, as the executive vice mayor of Jiangcheng City, with a population of nearly 10 million, he is the most qualified and prestigious candidate for the next mayor, but to really achieve this big leap, one must have strong strength, and the other must have a deep background, Third, it is necessary to have a considerable foundation of public opinion. In the past few years, Du Ziyan is confident that whether it is in the field of economy and urban construction in which he is in charge, or in the field of assisting Mayor Haihua in managing the united front and propaganda and preparation of finance, Vice Mayor Du has a clear conscience, has made great efforts, and has also achieved good results, which can be clearly felt from Mayor Haihua's attitude towards himself; As for his background, there is no doubt that the old leader has been in the officialdom of Jiangbei Province and has a very strong influence, and most of the current main leaders of Jiangbei Province have grown up under his promotion and training; When it comes to the basis of public opinion, it is a mysterious and mysterious thing, saying that you have it, saying that you don't have it, and whether you have it or not, mainly lies in the impression of the higher-level leaders and the attitude of the cadres in the districts and counties below towards you. However, the impression of the superiors cannot be changed in a while, and Du Ziyan believes that with the old leader, it will not be bad. As for the attitude of the cadres in the districts and counties below, it is more important to have more contact with them, to give them a sense of both majesty and cordiality, and to put it simply, to be both authoritative and benevolent, so as to influence their votes in future elections.

"Among the current deputy mayors of Jiangcheng City, only Wang Changlin, who has recently shown his glory, is his biggest opponent!" Vice Mayor Du Ziyan finally lit the cigarette in his hand, puffed out a long smoke ring, and said to himself. Indeed, Vice Mayor Wang Changlin is young. It's the second generation of red again. Plus he has a lot of intelligence. Dare to act and act boldly, his excellent performance in the struggle against floods and disasters in Wuchuan County the year before last made him very popular among the cadres of all districts and counties in the city. It also makes the municipal party committee and municipal government look at each other, if they want to succeed in taking the position, the threat from the deputy mayor of Changlin is very big! If you can't get the deputy mayor of Changlin, don't talk about it! But during the critical period, any small action is risky, and it may not work, and the gains may outweigh the losses. The only feasible thing is to use an open and normal way to counteract the influence of his subordinate district and county cadres, so that everyone feels that he is more cordial, approachable, and more hopeful of being elected than Vice Mayor Changlin. In this way, everyone can get closer to themselves and take the initiative to vote! Among the several districts and counties of Jiangcheng City, Hongpo County is Wang Changlin's old base, where he served as a county magistrate and secretary, and his roots are deep and leafy, and he cannot be shaken for a while. Let's put it aside for the time being, and Wuchuan County is not the place where he worked, but he commanded the flood control work the year before last, although he has a certain popularity and fame, but he must not let such a momentum grow in vain, it is necessary to reduce swelling and pour cold water.

"Xiaoqian, you go and contact Comrade Lu Zongming, the secretary of the mayor of Haihua, to see if there are any important arrangements in the past few days, if not, I want to take the time to go down and take a look at the recent land consolidation and construction of the economic development zone." Thinking of countermeasures, Deputy Mayor Du Ziyan threw off his cigarette butt, rang the pager on the table, and said to Qian Bo, the secretary who came in response.

"Okay! I'll do it right away. Qian Bo said cautiously, turning around and preparing to walk out.

"Pay attention to the way, don't show traces, be natural." Du Ziyan admonished.

"I know, don't worry, Mayor!" Qian Bo covered the door, understood and said humbly.

Seeing Qian Bo exit the room, Du Ziyan lowered his head to sign the document, but he couldn't read a word in his head, so he simply put down the file, turned on the computer to browse the news, and there was nothing special, and went to the current affairs review website to browse, until soon Qian Bo pushed the door in again: "Mayor, I have inquired, Mayor Haihua has no particularly important work in the past few days." ”

"Huh?" Deputy Mayor Du Ziyan responded casually, and it took a long time to raise his head from the computer, "You prepare, I am going to go to the following districts and counties in the afternoon, and go to Wuchuan County first." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Qian Bo said as he withdrew. In fact, Du Ziyan was greeting: let him notify the party and government head of the destination in advance, otherwise he would run over happily, and if he couldn't touch it alone, wouldn't he run in vain?

"Mayor Haihua, I don't know what arrangements you have in the past few days? If it is convenient, I would like to take the time to go down and take a look around to check the land consolidation and development zone clean-up work arranged in the previous section, and it is almost the end of the year to find out the situation so that the government can carry out next year's work. Waiting for Qian Bo to withdraw, Du Ziyan easily called Mayor Wang Haihua, the executive vice mayor assisted the mayor in his work, and all the work in the region has the right to intervene, and the central government has repeatedly emphasized saving land and controlling the excessive expansion of development zones.

"Hehe, okay! Comrade Ziyan can rest assured, I will let Zong Ming inform you if there is something. Mayor Wang Haihua smiled heartily, in fact, with his shrewdness and experience, he did not know the meaning of Vice Mayor Du Ziyan at this time, but in general, during his tenure as mayor, the cooperation with Vice Mayor Du was quite harmonious, although he sometimes had a bad temper, but people always waited with a low profile, and there was no need to create obstacles at this time. What's more, at this time, he is also doing the same thing, seeing that his two terms as mayor have arrived, if he can't go further, what awaits him is to take a back seat, and it is also essential to have a good relationship with colleagues at all levels, including his deputy, so he asked with a smile: "Do you want to bring a few more people?" Let the comrades of the propaganda mouth of the party Wanyi faction follow you. ”

"Hehe, thank you, Mayor Haihua." Du Ziyan understood the olive branch handed over by Mayor Wang Haihua, and smiled respectfully and heartily: "Comrade mayor, am I going to Weifu for a private visit?" What else can be seen if there is a lot of fanfare? Mayor Haihua also laughed, chatted a few more words, and put down the phone by himself.

Less than one o'clock in the afternoon, Du Ziyan and secretary Qian Bo, took a car to Wuchuan County, a car, three people, light car Jane followed, more than two hours later, arrived at the border of Wuchuan County, far away, saw several cars parked at the intersection of the corner, a group of people quietly waiting outside the car, saw Du Ziyan Deputy Mayor car, someone happily raised their hands.

"Mayor, it's Comrade Chen Zhongping and Comrade Zhang Xianren." Qian Bo stretched out his head to look ahead, and whispered that he didn't hear Du Ziyan's answer, knowing that he was expressing dissatisfaction: The province and the city have repeatedly reiterated that they must not be sent to us, they must not be extravagant and wasteful, and they must not cross the line to greet them. But now is the critical period before the general election, although the comrades below are at fault, but it is obviously not the time to be more serious, and what they express is only a kind of courtesy and respect, if it is too harsh, the result will be counterproductive. So he reminded in a whisper: "Comrade Chen Zhongping and Comrade Zhang Xianren are both veteran county-level leaders, and they are very prestigious among cadres at the same level. ”

"Hmm!" Deputy Mayor Du Ziyan was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded knowingly: "Let the two of them get in the car, and you will lead the way in front of them in their car." Qian Bo hurriedly said okay, the driver slowed down and slowly stopped at the entrance, Qian Bo got out of the car first, and walked to Chen Zhongping, secretary of the Wuchuan County Party Committee, and Zhang Xianren, the county magistrate, to meet everyone's eyes, and briefly said a few words to them, and the two quickly smiled, opened the door of Vice Mayor Du Ziyan, and got into the car.

"Two parents, but let me roast on the stove?" Zhang Xianren sat in the co-pilot's seat, Chen Zhongping and Du Ziyan sat side by side in the back seat, Vice Mayor Du said with a smile on his face, that close look, not only dissatisfied with their crossing the line, but also recognition of their respectful posture, as if it was like a parent's reproach to a disobedient child.

"Hee-hee-" Zhang Xianren in the front row smiled respectfully, and Chen Zhongping in the back row said honestly: "The mayor's criticism is reasonable, and I and the county magistrate Xianren accept it humbly." Secretary Chen Zhongping grinned and adjusted his sitting posture slightly: "But Comrade Xianren and I are really anxious, and we are thinking about how to persuade the comrades in the county how to control the scale of the development zone and appropriately save land, so as to adapt to the spirit of the instructions in the province and city." Look, no, Zhuge Liang is here! ”

"Haha!" Du Ziyan laughed heartily: "You don't use your brains and push the difficulties to the city, then just let me be the county magistrate!" In the moderate banter, an embarrassment turned invisible.
