In the work of every official at all levels of government, there is an important task to welcome and receive all kinds of guests, and special reception offices have been set up at the city and county levels to be specifically responsible for this glorious and arduous task, and a considerable part of the life of every cadre is spent in these boring and painful conference banquets.

This is true for provincial, municipal, and county cadres, as well as for township and town cadres.

In any case, the reception work is a work that cannot be ignored, of great significance, and full of knowledge, which is not only a way for leaders to consider the ability, level and loyalty of a cadre, but also the best opportunity for cadres to show their performance, reflect their level and get closer to their leaders.

Even if you don't think it's exaggerated and foolish, you may think that the situation is good, and then increase the weight layer by layer, put forward higher requirements, and then make yourself suffer at the worst, forcing you to grit your teeth and work hard; And blindly exaggerating difficulties will make leaders think that you are mediocre and incompetent, and your work is not effective.

Therefore, it is necessary to put the results, but also to talk about the difficulties, three seven or five or five points, just as the art of war says, "the use of the wonderful, in one mind", and how to use the premise, the key is to find out the leadership intentions, flattery and cooperation, this is the art of war said "know the enemy, a hundred battles will not be defeated".

It's just that now, Chu Tianshu has just arrived, and the cadres in various townships and towns in Nanling County basically have a blank understanding of the new secretary, so they have to play their cards according to their own routines, cross the river by feeling the stones, and work while trying.

Ma Guoliang also led the cadres of the township to wait at Xiqiaotou, but the scale was much larger than that of Daliushu Township, and it seems that from this point, the difference between the two township party secretaries can be seen, or the different ways of performing in response to the inspection of the new secretary: Zuo Tiannian is dressed in a short and low-key appearance, and Ma Guoliang is wearing all the good-looking clothes in a treasure style.

Ma Guoliang obviously attached more importance to the new secretary's first visit than Zuo Tiannian, and not only made certain arrangements for a special meeting, but also sent "observers" to Daliushu Township yesterday to reconnoitre, and it was only decided in the morning that the welcoming ceremony must be more grand than that of Daliushu Township.

Ziyang Township is the hometown of Secretary Ma Xingwang.

Ma Guoliang is also Ma Xingwang's nephew and Ma Guosheng's cousin.

Ma Xingwang's accidental death cast a shadow on Ma Guoliang's career, and his position as secretary of the township party committee was already in jeopardy, and he very much hoped that through Chu Tianshu's inspection, he could get a higher impression score in order to keep his position, or have the opportunity to go to the next level.

In his opinion, it is better to serve the leader than to do it. Even if the leader criticizes the extravagance, it cannot make the leader feel simple and cold, not to mention that it is the obligation of the subordinates to provide the opportunity for criticism to the leader.

This time, the new secretary went to the countryside for the first time to inspect, the first stop was Daliushu Township, and the second stop was Ziyang Township, Ma Guoliang naturally did not dare to be careless, although he still couldn't touch Chu Tianshu's work style, or according to the usual experience, he first put on a big battle and greeted him in the most solemn way.

Ma Guoliang thought that although the new secretary emphasized that he should not engage in red tape and not allow the whole wine, he would at most criticize him for his formalism, and he would not remember his mistakes in his heart.

In terms of the specific inspection work arrangement, Ma Guoliang also acted in accordance with the law, eliminating the inferior and retaining the good in all the project work of the township, eliminating those that have problems and contradictions, the results are mediocre, and the bright and decent achievements are retained, just like a table of carefully selected good dishes for the new secretary for Chu Tianshu to choose.

If Ma Guoliang took Chu Tianshu to inspect the first few places that were whitewashed, the last stop he recommended was a well-deserved banner in Nanling County.

It is the demonstration base for new rural construction in Nanling County, located in Hexi Village, Ziyang Township.

This is still a few years ago when Secretary Nan Yanping accompanied a certain leader of the central government to inspect and personally finalized, so it has received a lot of funds and technical support directly allocated by the provinces and cities, so the speed of development and the demonstration effect is obvious, which is not only the only bright spot in Nanling County, but also a major political achievement project of Ma Xingwang.

When Ma Xingwang was in power, he handed over this project to his cousin Ma Guoliang, which also won Ma Guoliang a lot of opportunities to show up, and he is likely to be nominated for deputy county magistrate at this year's ** meeting with the achievements of this base.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven. Ma Xingwang's accidental death not only made Ma Guoliang's hope of being promoted to deputy county magistrate come to naught, but many people in the Fu family also set their sights on this demonstration base that can not only produce political achievements but also increase exposure, but also make Ma Guoliang's ass sit on a crumbling chair and may fall down at any time.

Ma Guoliang clearly realized that it was impossible to take refuge in Fu Damu, and he had to hug Chu Tianshu's thigh.

The demonstration base in Nanling County is definitely called a flock, Chu Tianshu is naturally very satisfied, he encouraged Ma Guoliang to say, I hope Ziyang Township can be a good vanguard for the construction of the new countryside in Nanling County, play a role in demonstration and leadership.

In the evening, a table was set up among a villager in the demonstration base.

Ma Guoliang led Chu Tianshu into the villagers' hall, and a white tablecloth was spread on a table of eight immortals, with four large bowls of dishes on it, giving people the first feeling that the local atmosphere was very strong.

Chu Tianshu said: "Secretary Ma, it's good, it's clean, it makes people have a great appetite." ”

Ma Guoliang said: "According to the spirit of the notice issued by Secretary Chu, only four local dishes are made, don't look at the famous hall of those dishes in the city, you can ensure that you can eat hygienically and comfortably." ”

The villagers came out and warmly invited Chu Tianshu and others to take a seat, and then naturally sat next to Chu Tianshu and talked with him.

Wang Yongchao sat down and looked around, and found that there were several frames hanging in the center of the hall, which was a group photo of a central leader and Secretary Nan Yanping and the villagers.

There are also several photos of provincial, municipal and county leaders talking cordially with the villagers.

The propaganda officer from the township took out his camera and took pictures of Chu Tianshu, Ma Guoliang and the villagers sitting at the Eight Immortals Table talking, with several photos behind them in the background.

Chu Tianshu was a little surprised, and after Wang Yongchao's reminder, he found that this was a place of special political significance, a golden signboard of Nanling County and Qingyuan City, and was often visited by provincial and municipal leaders, and the four dishes on the table were also eaten by the central leaders and Secretary Nan back then.

Only then did Chu Tianshu realize that Ma Guoliang chose the first stop of the inspection and visit here, which has a meaningful political implication effect: Ma Guoliang, as the party secretary of Ziyang Township, has always maintained the shining of this golden signboard, and he has completed this glorious and arduous task very well.

After dinner, the group returned to the township government.

Ma Guoliang arranged accommodation for Chu Tianshu and Wang Yongchao, Ma Guosheng moved the suitcase into the room, and then asked Chu Tianshu for leave to go home to visit his parents.

Chu Tianshu handed over a cigarette and a brand-new flashlight that Su Hang had packed in the suitcase to Ma Guosheng as a gift to the Ma family.

Ma Guoliang and others invited Chu Tianshu to play mahjong as usual.

Chu Tianshu only played around, and received a text message on his mobile phone, he took it out and looked at it, then excused himself and said that he still had something to do, and asked Wang Yongchao to continue to have fun with the people for himself.

The text message was actually sent by Wang Yongchao, who was serving tea and pouring water on the side, which was a signal for Zhou Yu, who had already agreed to make a yellow cover.

After returning to the room, Chu Tianshu thought back to the inspection in Ziyang Township, and felt a little incredible.

Ziyang Township's new rural construction demonstration base has unique advantages, which is indisputable in the forefront of the county. However, Daliushu Township is closer to the county seat, and the advantages of development should be greater than that of Ziyang Township.

Is Ma Guoliang packaged and whitewashed, or is Ma Guoliang indeed more capable of working than Zuo Tiannian?

After thinking about it for a while and seeing that it was not too late, Chu Tianshu decided to go out and go around alone.

Just walked out of the township government not far away, Chu Tianshu suddenly saw Yu Qiankun at the county epidemic prevention station.

Yu Qiankun straddled the motorcycle, about to put on his helmet, when a stubbled villager grabbed him and insisted on hanging two tied chickens on his motorcycle.

Chu Tianshu walked over to see what was going on.

Yu Qiankun also found Chu Tianshu, he muttered a few words to the villagers carrying chickens, set up the motorcycle, trotted over to shake hands with Chu Tianshu, and asked, "Secretary Chu, why did you come out alone?" ”

"Hehe, they're doing activities, I'll come out and walk around." Chu Tianshu didn't explain much, but asked, "Lao Yu, why are you here?" ”

Yu Qiankun was also inconvenient to ask more, and replied: "Oh, a villager's cow cub encountered a difficult birth, and he called me to come over, but fortunately it was dealt with in time, or the cow and the cow may be lost." ”

"Lao Yu, you have also done a good thing that is no worse than saving lives and helping the wounded." Chu Tianshu sighed: "Cattle are the lifeblood of farmers, if they are gone, this family will not be able to live." ”

Yu Qiankun said: "Yes, so I rushed over as soon as people called, and I didn't dare to delay." ”

Chu Tianshu looked at the villagers who were still tying up chickens, and said with a smile: "No wonder people have to give you two big hens." ”

"I can't ask for a big hen, his family still has to rely on these two chicken butts to produce oil and salt." Yu Qiankun said in a low voice: "Secretary Chu, you do me a favor, you stand here and don't move, look over there with a straight face, and I will get out." ”

Chu Tianshu asked, "Does this work?" ”

"It works, it definitely works." After Yu Qiankun finished speaking, he walked back to the motorcycle, looked at Chu Tianshu's side, and said a few words in the ears of the villagers.

The villagers looked up at Chu Tianshu, who had a serious face, quickly untied the two chickens from the motorcycle, and turned into an alley.
