Xiuzhou Village at night is quiet and tranquil. At about seven o'clock, three cars came to the cement yard outside the "big bamboo shed". After stopping, Qin Daming quickly got out of the passenger seat, opened the back door diligently, and escorted Tang Guoqiang out of the car.

"Director Qin, this place is good." Tang Guoqiang got out of the car door, looked at the surrounding environment, and praised it.

Tang Guoqiang asked Qin Daming to arrange a quiet place for Ma Tiancheng to practice, and Qin Daming thought of the "big bamboo shed".

After Qin Daming took office at the county party committee office, he asked Xia Yanfeng to make partial improvements to the big bamboo shed, and installed large glass around it and curtains, so that he would not become the target of mosquito bites when he came to eat at night. It is also thanks to Qin Daming that he has such foresight, so as soon as Tang Guoqiang's request was raised, he thought of this. At this moment, after listening to Tang Guoqiang's Chen Zan, he said with a smile: "Secretary Tang, this small restaurant is usually not open to the public, and the chickens, ducks, fish and vegetables are all self-produced and sold, which is quite environmentally friendly. ”

Wang Wenzhong, Shang Zhiyuan, Ma Tiancheng and others are all here for the first time, and they are quite surprised by the ponds and fruit trees rippling on the water surface in the night, and then the big houses made of bamboo in the lights.

Ma Tiancheng praised: "It's really good, I didn't expect Chang Jia to have such an elegant place." Director Qin was attentive. ”

Qin Daming heard the praise, smiled and led the way in front, saying: "Leaders, walk slowly, this is a rural place, and the road is uneven. "Actually, Xia Yanfeng was notified to clean up the road in advance.

When he heard the sound of the car, Xia Yanfeng was already waiting respectfully at the door. In order to leave a good impression on the leaders of the county party committee, he did his homework, and had already done several mosquito repellent work in the house during the day, and the dishes, wine and tea were carefully prepared according to Qin Daming's requirements. After Tang Guoqiang and the others stepped into the bamboo shed, he led the way in front with a smile, and kept saying: "Leader, please here, please here." ”

Waiting for everyone to sit together, Ma Tiancheng picked up his glass and said: "Thank you, Secretary Tang, thank you leaders, I will do it first as a respect." ”

Everyone stood up and had a drink with Ma Tiancheng.

Everyone is a long-tested person with alcohol, and the wine table is quite open. However, today's main body is for the practice of the county magistrate, and the topic naturally revolves around this.

Tang Guoqiang was quite optimistic about Ma Tiancheng's career, and said: "Tiancheng County Magistrate, this time you go to the municipal government as deputy secretary general, although it is a flat adjustment, but to the city government to make a transition, the road will be opened in the future, I wish you smooth sailing in the future, come, let's have another drink." ”

Ma Tiancheng took a drink and said, "Secretary Tang, after I rise, I will still work under your leadership, and I can do my best." ”

The implication is that when he rises one step further, Tang Guoqiang will be promoted early, and he will still be his leader.

Tang Guoqiang smiled and pointed at him with his finger and shook his head slightly to show humility.

Huang Wenzhong has never been smiling, but he drinks well, and in Changjia, no one has seen him drunk. At this time, he raised his glass and said: "I also toast the county magistrate Ma with a glass of wine, and I have to ask you for help when I come to the city to do things in the future." ”

Ma Tiancheng respected him very much, drank a drink with him, and said: "Minister Wenzhong is an old organization, I don't dare to be it." If you want to come to the city, make a call in advance, and I will be a good host. ”

Ye Zhiran had the lowest position, and when several of them had drunk alone, he stood up and said: "County Magistrate Ma, thank you for your love for Xiao Ye over the years, I salute you with a glass of wine, and I wish you a prosperous and smooth sailing in Jianan." ”

Ma Tiancheng smiled and said: "Thank you, Xiaoye, don't be presumptuous, with the care of Secretary Tang and the Standing Committee, you just need to work hard, and you are not afraid of not making progress." ”

Ye Zhiran said: "That is, my first glass of wine is to give you entry into the city government center, and the second glass of wine is to Secretary Tang and the Standing Committee members have made progress every year. ”

Everyone here only knew that he had a great relationship with Secretary Tang, but after Minister Feng asked him to accompany him to Xishan, he realized that he still had such a deep relationship in the city, and he no longer treated him as an ordinary subordinate. Shang Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Xiao Ye, don't be fooled, you want to get away with a glass of wine." You have to come one by one. First of all, the county magistrate, no, is the secretary general. He changed his words and said: "After respecting the Secretary-General, then respecting Secretary Tang, and then coming one by one." ”

Tang Guoqiang shook his hand and said: "Secretary Zhiyuan has made the wrong object, and today is for the county magistrate of Tiancheng." Xiao Ye will put it down first, and let him toast everyone. ”

Ma Tiancheng arched his hand to Tang Guoqiang and said: "Secretary Tang, let's be simpler between us, don't make a false set, everyone drinks at will, mainly to get together and chat." ”

Tang Guoqiang nodded and said: "The county magistrate of Tiancheng is right, when you arrive at the city government, it will not be as convenient as before for us to get together again." ”

Everyone talked while eating, but Qin Daming had been busy doing logistics work since he entered the house, but his logistics work was all around Tang Guoqiang, from bowls and chopsticks to cigarettes, wine and tea, he seemed to be very satisfied with the identity of the county party committee's housekeeper. That kind of cautious errand made Ye Zhiran think of Li Lianying, the chief manager next to the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Ma Tiancheng drank a few glasses of wine and began to slow down, he glanced at Tang Guoqiang, and said, "Secretary Tang, the new county magistrate Zhang seems to have a lot of personality." ”

Tang Guoqiang asked with interest: "What do you think of him?" ”

Ma Tiancheng said: "I heard that County Magistrate Zhang was born in ideology, and he was the editor-in-chief of the party newspaper of the municipal party committee, and he is a person with a good belly kung fu. This kind of person may not be able to engage in economic construction, but he is first-class in engaging in conspiracy and trickery. The way he doesn't smile reminds me of the 'military advisor' in the 'Gang of Four'. ”

As soon as he said this, Shang Zhiyuan, Huang Wenzhong and others all felt the same way, and nodded together. However, they are all still working in Changjia and often deal with Zhang Shunqiang, so they can't criticize as casually as Ma Tiancheng.

Tang Guoqiang glanced at Ma Tiancheng meaningfully and said: "As long as he is here to do things, we welcome him." If it is in the next life, we will not let him destroy the hard-won good situation, it is nothing more than a trick to see and dismantle! ”

Tang Guoqiang looked full of confidence, and he continued: "I heard that this time there is a lot of movement, and the situation in the city is very complicated. Regardless of the matter of County Magistrate Zhang for the time being, it is better for you to be cautious when you go to the city government. ”

Ma Tiancheng also nodded deeply and said: "I can be said to be blind when I go to work in the municipal government, try to say less and do more." ”

"The secretary general is the mayor's staff, and the county magistrate Ma will go here, at most for two or three years, and at least one or two years, and will soon be in charge of the party, which can be regarded as opening a window for the official career." Huang Wenzhong finished eating a crab and looked up and said. Tsushima Tiancheng's future is very good.

Ma Tiancheng said humbly: "I don't dare to think like this. When it comes to doing things, it is still the most comfortable under Secretary Tang, just do it boldly, and don't be afraid to make mistakes. I'm afraid I have to think twice about doing anything when I go to the city government. ”

Turning his face and saying to Ye Zhiran: "Xiao Ye, you have to seize this favorable opportunity, let go of things, and strive to enter the ranks of county and department-level cadres before Secretary Tang goes up." ”

Ye Zhiran hurriedly stood up, poured a full wine and said to Tang Guoqiang: "Then I will give Secretary Tang another glass and strive to make continuous progress under the leadership of Secretary Tang." ”

In this small circle, Tang Guoqiang was very open, and he smiled heartily: "Xiao Ye, you have already given me a cup, this cup will be toasted to everyone." ”

Ye Zhiran raised the wine glass with both hands as he said, and said, "I listen to Secretary Tang and toast to the leaders." ”

Shang Zhiyuan, Wang Wenzhong, Qin Daming and others also picked up their wine glasses and drank them.

After eating, the driver had already driven the car back to the parking lot outside the big bamboo shed, six people and three cars, Qin Daming and Tang Guoqiang one, Wang Wenzhong and Shang Zhiyuan one, Ye Zhiran and Ma Tiancheng took a car back.

Before parting, Ma Tiancheng said a sentence that made Ye Zhiran have endless aftertaste.

"Xiao Ye, what is your relationship with Qin Daming?"

"Director Qin takes good care of me." Ye Zhiran didn't know why.

"Qin Daming is not simple, he has jumped from a township party secretary to a county standing committee member and director of the county party committee office." Ma Tiancheng sighed.

Ye Zhiran seemed to mean something when he heard this, thought about it, and said, "Director Qin has won the trust of Secretary Tang. ”

"Yes, trusted." Ma Tiancheng paused and said, "But have you thought about it?" Why can he win the trust of Secretary Tang? ”

After saying this, Ma Tiancheng deliberately paused to give Ye Zhiran time to think.

Ma Tiancheng admonished: "Officialdom is complicated, and officials are even more complicated, so we must think more and observe more." ”

After Ye Zhiran got out of the car, he thought about the words of County Magistrate Ma along the way.

When did Qin Daming start to get in touch with Secretary Tang? Although he took the initiative to lean over soon after Secretary Tang arrived to work in Changjia County, Ye Zhiran knew that they had no personal relationship before. I remember that the first time he went to Tang Guoqiang's house was after the "oolong" incident of Township Chief Li, and he took him there. Since that time, Qin Daming's attitude towards him has changed, and he no longer looks like he is high in front of him, but has become friendly. In this re-election, his upward momentum is so fierce that it can be said that he has fallen off his glasses. The occurrence of this result must be the result of Tang Guoqiang's strong recommendation to the municipal party committee.

Ye Zhiran understands that although the secretary of the county party committee does not have the power to promote members of the standing committee of the county party committee, the director of the county party committee office is the chief steward of the county party committee, and the city party committee will inevitably pay full attention to his opinions.

And to let Tang Guoqiang spare no effort to recommend him like this, Qin Daming's hard work is probably not ordinarily deep. Moreover, all this was done without him knowing. If there was no reminder from County Magistrate Ma today, I wouldn't have thought of this layer yet.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be cautious about Qin Daming again, and then thought of him for the candidate for the director of the financial institute, and asked himself to meet in the "big bamboo shed" in Xiuzhou Village, as if he had said that there was a hospitality fee of 200,000 yuan. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid things are not as simple as he said.

He thought of the fire in the finance office again and burned the reimbursement vouchers of the township government over the years, and now even if he had the heart to check the funds again, it would be too late.

Thinking of this, he was shocked, could there be other factors in the fire in the financial office? I think of He Guitian's report to him that the payment due from "Wangshan Tower" was not on the hotel's account, and at the same time, he found that there were problems with several accounts in the township government canteen, and he was going to check it, and then a fire broke out that night. Is this a coincidence or artificial?

Ye Zhiran's heart couldn't help beating "thump".
