This is how things passed, Xu Junran originally thought that he could finally live a peaceful life, but he didn't expect trouble to find him again.

On this day, Xu Junran was discussing with Liu Chang, director of the Finance Bureau, about the New Year's Day visit in the county, Liu Huaqiang, director of the county party committee office, walked in with a panicked face, but he was holding a newspaper in his hand, Xu Junran frowned, and said to Liu Chang: "This matter is good first, we have time to talk about it." ”

Liu Chang is also a smart person, nodded and said, "Okay, county magistrate, I'll go first." ”

After Liu Chang left, Xu Junran asked Liu Huaqiang: "What happened to Lao Liu?" ”

Liu Huaqiang handed Xu Junran the newspaper with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "County magistrate, the matter of Taohua Town's petition has been reported in the newspaper, and several newspapers in the city have reported this matter, and someone even took a photo." ”

Xu Junran's face changed suddenly, he knew that trouble was coming again.

Stretching out his hand to take the newspaper, Xu Junran frowned and said, "This matter, spread quickly?" ”

Liu Huaqiang nodded and said: "Several newspapers in the city have reported it, and the first to report is Danjiang Daily. ”

The expression on Xu Junran's face became even more serious, he knew that Danjiang Daily was run by the Municipal Press and Publication Bureau, and it had a great influence in the city.

While reading the newspaper, Xu Junran asked, "What does the newspaper say about this matter?" ”

Liu Huaqiang smiled bitterly: "It seems that it is all unfavorable to Secretary Bai, and the evaluation of you is quite high." ”

Xu Junran breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, you can get busy first." ”

After Liu Huaqiang left, Xu Junran picked up a newspaper and read it casually, and saw an eye-catching headline in today's news - "Petitioners in Filial Piety Clothes".

A large picture of petitioners in mourning clothes entangled with security guards came into view. The sign of the Incheon County Party Committee was also vaguely seen on the picture. Underneath the picture, there is a long text:

Recently, a strange incident happened at the gate of the Incheon County Party Committee, where petitioners wearing filial piety clothes wanted to see the secretary of the county party committee, but were stopped outside the gate by security guards.

Why do they come to petition wearing filial piety clothes? Is there someone who is specifically causing trouble, or is there something else that is not going to be heard? After the author's inquiry, I learned from the parties concerned that the county party committee wanted to establish the image of the county. It was decided to demolish the old bungalows in Shangtang Village on both sides of the highway and build model houses in a unified manner. Because of the extremely limited government subsidy funds, the villagers could not bear the huge financial pressure and did not want to relocate, so the elderly man in his 90s was crushed to death by the earthen wall that the demolition team had knocked down. After the coordination of the government. The developer was ordered to pay 50,000 yuan in compensation for the old man's children and grandchildren, but the developer refused to pay compensation on the grounds that he had posted a relocation notice. In desperation, the children and grandchildren of the old man had no choice but to petition the county party committee and county government.

However, what they didn't expect was that the security guards refused to allow them to enter the door on the grounds that the secretary was not there, until more than 20 minutes later, the head of the Incheon County People's Government, Xu Junran, came forward and agreed to the petitioner's request. They just evacuated.

After Xu Junran hurriedly finished reading it, his heart was picked up by something. This article pays great attention to objective facts, and does not contain praise or disparagement of him, the problem is that it points the finger at Bai Lin, the secretary of the county party committee. What would this make Bai Lin think? Isn't this the one who put him on the fire and roast him?

What's more, if this matter was published in a newspaper under the city government, isn't it now known to the whole city?

Thinking of this, Xu Junran continued to read the newspaper. But he was stunned by the letters from the masses below.

Someone said: "For the sake of political performance projects, the interests of the common people are completely disregarded." Not to mention not taking the well-being of the masses to heart, such leaders, do not expect them to do things for the people. ”

Some people even said: "The image project is really killing people, taking the people's hard-earned money to smear grease and powder on their faces, this is the biggest **." You don't see, a few years ago, the city image "Chang'e Running to the Moon" sculpture statue on the intersection of the department store cost 400,000 yuan, and within three years, the officials were transferred, and the image project became a nail that hindered traffic. No one pursues it, and no one speaks for the people, those who are officials continue to be officials, and the people continue to suffer. Isn't there a lot of such lessons? Is the model house for farmers to live in, or for passers-by to see? It is worth the policymakers to seriously think about it, and stop engaging in any more performance projects, because the people cannot afford to spend this money. ”

The most damning thing is a letter from a reader signed by Justice: "Since you are the secretary of the county party committee, why don't you dare to meet the masses? also hid and did not show up, let the county magistrate solve the problem for him, think about it, a county party secretary can face such a thing and put on a high shelf, such a leader, what qualifications does such a leader have to sit on the rostrum and eat a vegetarian meal. ”

Xu Junran frowned, and even felt that his whole body was a little numb, a brief report, a picture of a petition, actually aroused the anger of the masses. This also just illustrates a problem, how much the masses hate the current ** and the image project, once there is an outlet for venting, they will spare no effort to vent. Although their remarks are a bit radical, they are not unreasonable, and they also get to the heart of the matter. For example, the steel ball sculpture statue in the city was originally on the three-way intersection, it was really a face-saving project that cost the people and money, he was not working in Danjiang City at that time, and then he only heard that the city government at that time wanted to establish the image of the city, and asked Jinghua University to design a statue of the city at a high price, and spent 400,000 yuan to support the female sculpture with an iron frame, holding a moon-shaped steel ball in his hand, which was called "Chang'e running to the moon", which could not see its symbolic meaning, let alone any aesthetic value, but hindered the view.

Some people suspect that it was not designed by Jinghua University at all, and if Jinghua University was designed to such a level, it would only prove that the quality of education in Huaxia was too poor. Within three years, the secretary who was in charge of the image project was transferred, and people said that the secretary's daughter was studying in the capital, and the "Chang'e Running to the Moon" was his daughter's masterpiece when she was a freshman. Later, deputies to the National People's Congress and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) wrote one after another, saying that "Chang'e Running to the Moon" was placed at the intersection to obstruct traffic and should be dismantled. The new leadership team complied with the will of the people and really built a pool after dismantling it.

The common people have such a mentality, Xu Junran actually understands in his heart, and the image project has indeed become a disguised **.

People have always tended to confuse "image projects" with "performance projects." In fact, "image engineering" and "performance engineering" are not the same thing. In fact. When people talk about "image engineering", the standards are confusing and unclear. The "image projects" we see and hear often appear in poor or not wealthy places, as if there is no "image project" problem in rich areas. But does "image engineering" mean construction beyond financial resources, or construction beyond what is necessary? If all construction beyond financial resources is considered an "image project", then how can we understand the "concentration of energy on big things" in poor areas in order to solve the needs of development? Affluent areas have also been built beyond necessity, and have often become a sign of admirable achievement. This also makes people feel that a kind of construction is not an "image project", and the focus is not on whether the construction is more than necessary, but on whether the financial resources are sufficient.

If it is said that the "performance project" negates its own rationality with large and small selfish interests, then the "image project" is unreasonable. It is not the selfishness of the starting point, but the corruption of the inner logic. The "image project" was launched as a kind of construction "for the benefit of the people", but the logic of the assumption is that the people do not know where their interests are, so they will not hesitate to oppose them. The people envisioned in the "image project" are a bunch of foolish people who are incapable of seeing their own interests, and their fate must be arranged by wise leaders.

The question is not what the "starting point" of the project is. It is about why unpopular construction can be launched, why the government has become an ATM for image projects, and why society has become the object of arbitrary use by those in power. Here, public opinion has become a virtual concept, the people who are regarded as foolish people have not entered the decision-making process, and the organs of power where the representatives of public opinion have gathered have become full cooperators of the "image project". The essence of the "image project" and the "performance project" is that public opinion cannot determine the outcome of decision-making. The arbitrariness of social power inherently determines the emergence of "image projects" and "performance projects", so the real question is not how to stop "image projects". It's about how to stop the arbitrariness of social power.

Of course, these are the experiences summed up by experts in later generations, and although Xu Junran knows it, he can't say it to anyone. He understands more that the four words "political performance project" are beautiful and even sacred, and they cannot be called casually, and it must at least meet the following four conditions: First, it is conducive to the national economy and people's livelihood; The second is that the person in charge is open-minded. do not seek personal gain; third, it can stand the test of time and practicality; Fourth, the person in charge does not show his own merits. However, because the "political performance project" has such a good reputation, it has become the target of corrupt officials.

Xu Junran looked at the newspapers. I was happy and worried at the same time, and I was glad that the newspapers did not question the work under his jurisdiction, and even had a little praise for it. But what worries me is that all the spearheads here are pointed at Bai Lin alone.

What will Bai Lin think when he sees it? Do you think it's your own doing? If this is not good, if Bai Lin passes on this suspicion to the higher organization, won't the leaders above have an opinion about themselves? Once a person is viewed by the organization, the person's career is almost over. Thinking like this, Xu Junran was shocked into a cold sweat.

After flipping through the newspapers for a while, Xu Junran saw another article in Danjiang Life Newspaper entitled "Danjiang City's Economic Construction Has Achieved Remarkable Results", which was two days ago in terms of time. Above is a photograph of seven or eight formally dressed leading cadres, surrounding Mayor Bei Chaoqun, inspecting a newly established economic development zone in Danjiang City. Under the photo, a line of text is attached: "Danjiang City has achieved remarkable results in the reform and opening up to attract investment, with a total of more than a dozen foreign-funded enterprises and nearly 50 investment intentions, involving an investment of nearly 100 million yuan." ”

Putting down the newspaper, Xu Junran secretly pondered carefully in his heart, this matter has something to do with Incheon County, and it also has something to do with the leaders in the city, economic construction is the result of Mayor Bei Chaoqun, which is a positive report, and the mass petition is caused by Duan Shijie's henchman Bai Lin's image project, which is a critical report, one positive and one negative, I don't know if it is an accidental coincidence, or if there is a reason for it. He couldn't help but think of Liu Qiang's hint to him before, and remembered the olive branch that Duan Shijie extended to him, obviously, if someone really planned it, then the planner must be a heavyweight in the center of power, which means that the contest between the two leading figures in the Danjiang municipal arena has begun.

Thinking of this sensitive issue, Xu Junran couldn't help but feel a little excited. It was as if there was a glimmer of light in his heart, and he saw some kind of hope. When two tigers fight, there will be an injury, and according to his feelings, most of the injuries are Bai Lin. Because no matter what Duan Shijie's victory or defeat is, the final result must be that Bai Lin will either be transferred to leave Incheon County, or he will be promoted steadily, but no matter what, the position of county party secretary will be vacant. Isn't it an opportunity for him? Even though he knew that this opportunity did not belong to him alone, there were other people in the county, and there were people who did not think of it, he still had a sense of excitement that could not be controlled.

That's when it happened. The phone rang, Xu Junran picked it up and said, "Hello, I'm Xu Junran." ”

There was a hearty laugh on the other end of the phone, and after laughing, Bei Chaoqun said lightly: "County Magistrate Xu, what are you busy with now?" ”

Xu Junran was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "It's nothing." I'm smoking, what's wrong? Mayor. ”

Bei Chaoqun said: "I have time to read the newspaper, there has been a lot of news recently." ”

Hung up the phone, Xu Junran thought to himself. At this moment, Bei Chaoqun must have also seen the essence of the problem and saw the light of hope, otherwise he would not be so happy, let alone call him. As usual. If he really planned it, he would have pretended to be silent. will never take the initiative to publicize it outward, for fear that others will suspect that he did it. According to this logic, Bei Chaoqun will definitely not be the mastermind behind the scenes. Obviously, the initiator must be the one who benefits the most, assuming that Bei Chaoqun defeated Duan Shijie, who will be the biggest beneficiary?

What made Xu Junran even more puzzled was that Bei Chaoqun called him at this time, what did he mean?

For Bei Chaoqun, Xu Junran is now more and more incomprehensible, originally he thought that since Bei Chaoqun was a person from the provincial governor Fang Zhongyuan, he should be on the same front as himself, but last time Bei Chaoqun used himself as a shield and fought with Duan Shijie on the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, which really surprised Xu Junran, and his impression of him at that time became much worse.

In all fairness, Xu Junran thought about it carefully, the mastermind behind the incident in the newspaper this time should not be Duan Shijie, because Bei Chaoqun did not hinder Duan Shijie's normal promotion, let alone threaten the power in his hands, at most it only hindered his unified leadership, and the biggest beneficiaries were naturally Xu Junran and Bei Chaoqun.

Lighting a cigarette, Xu Junran hesitated a little, this Danjiang City is really an unpeaceful place.

"County magistrate, Secretary Bai invites you to come over."

At this time, the door of the office was pushed open, and Liu Huaqiang walked in and said to Xu Junran.

Xu Junran was stunned, he didn't expect Bai Lin to look for himself, and it was estimated that he should have gotten the news from the newspaper, and it seemed that he was looking for himself to discuss countermeasures.

Thinking of this, Xu Junran nodded and said to Liu Huaqiang: "Call Xiao Wang and go to the county party committee." ”

Coming to the county party committee compound, Deng Wenbing of the county party committee office was already waiting for Xu Junran at the door, and when he saw Xu Junran getting out of the car, Deng Wenbing hurriedly said: "County magistrate, the secretary is waiting for you." ”

Xu Junran nodded, let Deng Wenbing lead the way in front, followed him upstairs, and came to the office of the county party secretary in Bailin.

Seeing Xu Junran come in, Bai Lin smiled and said, "Sit down, I happen to have two boxes of new Longjing tea sent by a friend here, you taste it, if you have the right appetite, I will give you a box." ”

Xu Junran laughed: "Okay, the secretary sent it to me, I just don't have the right appetite." ”

Wei Yiguang laughed and said, "In terms of tea, the two of us are just chatting a few words, and by the way, there is something to discuss with you." ”

Xu Junran said: "You are an elder, how dare I get an axe in front of the secretary?" It's just casual talk. ”

The two talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious.

Bai Lin took the tea, the packaging was very particular, opened the lid of the box, Xu Junran leaned over and smelled it, felt the fragrance overflowing, and said, "It's really fragrant." ”

Bai Lin smiled and said, "When you soak in water, it will be fragrant." Saying that, he put a little tea in each of the two transparent teacups, poured a small half cup of boiling water, soaked for a minute, and filled it with water, a wisp of fragrance came to the nose, and then looked at the cup, the tea leaves were erected one by one, and the small tea leaves were like just sprouts, and the tea turned turquoise in an instant.

When leaders are together, there are a few things that cannot be discussed: first, women; the second is the evaluation of superior leaders; The third is the appointment of cadres.

Xu Junran and Bai Lin sat together and chatted, women naturally wouldn't say anything, Xu Junran was not interested in the little thing between Bai Lin and Zhang Min, Bai Lin didn't want to know about Xu Junran's mysterious girlfriend, and for the superior leaders, the two of them now look like one is the secretary of the municipal party committee and the other is the mayor, so naturally they won't say anything.

As for the appointment and dismissal of cadres, this is to be discussed at the secretary's office meeting, and it is not appropriate to say it in this place.

So Xu Junran couldn't figure out what Bai Lin was calling himself for today?

Could it be that it is really for the sake of newspapers?

Thinking of this, Xu Junran showed a smile and said to Bai Lin very sincerely: "Secretary Bai, have you read the newspaper this morning?" ”

Bai Lin's face was silent, nodded to Xu Junran, and said meaningfully: "I saw it, but I just thought it was a little strange." ”

Xu Junran's heart moved, and he said in surprise: "Secretary, you also see something wrong?" ”
