Chu Tianshu smiled and nodded to the people who were watching him closely, walked towards the rostrum, and beckoned Xue Jinlong over and asked him to count the people present.

The next to be present were Fu Damu and Geng Zhongtian.

Fu Damu is tall and tall, wears a gray windbreaker, and has the demeanor of a county magistrate.

Geng Zhongtian is a head shorter than Fu Damu, wearing a brand-name blue suit, and he also has the style of a county-level leader.

When Fu Damu came from the Shihua Hotel, he just happened to come out just in time for Geng Zhongtian, so he took the initiative to call him to go with him.

Although Fu Damu often told his henchmen that Geng Zhongtian was ambitious, on the surface, he had always maintained a close relationship with Geng Zhongtian and used him as a borrowed force.

Geng Zhongtian also knew that Fu Damu was wary of himself, and he hid many things from him and made his own decisions. But he didn't want to offend him, he just wanted a smooth and steady transition, fought for a further step, and then walked away.

On the way to the venue, Fu Damu pretended to be very casual and asked Geng Zhongtian if he knew that he was going to have a meeting.

Geng Zhongtian replied, not knowing what to do.

Fu Damu began to sow discord and said, Lao Geng, for such a large-scale meeting, I didn't discuss it in advance, and I sent a notice before I called to say hello, this is too much to see, where do you and I put you and me in your eyes?

Geng Zhongtian listened to his words, didn't say anything, still sank his face, and deliberately showed Fu Damu, but he was thinking in his heart: You can fight as much as you want, I'll sit on the top of the mountain and take a look.

After entering, Fu Damu and Geng Zhongtian walked side by side, deliberately making him and Geng Zhongtian close.

Naturally, everyone on the field knew them. Many people rushed to greet them, and they only nodded.

On the rostrum, Xue Jinlong was reporting the situation of the attendees to Chu Tianshu's ear, and when he saw Fu Damu coming to the stage, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, and when he saw Fu Damu glaring at him, he didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, at this time, Chu Tianshu stood up and went to greet Fu Damu and Geng Zhongtian, so that Xue Jinlong was saved, and walked over with Chu Tianshu and smiled flatteringly at Fu Damu, but in exchange, it was still Fu Damu's angry glance.

Xue Jinlong was bored, immediately walked off the rostrum, called Xiao Wang and others in the office, and confirmed the names, positions and reasons for the absence according to the list on the seat card.

Deputy Secretary Yang Fugui and Organization Minister Zhou Yuning came one after the other.

Yang Fugui saw so many people in the venue, and thought to himself, why did Chu Tianshu want to mobilize the people like this? What exactly? Didn't you say that you would have to talk casually, and was it necessary? With a stomach full of doubts, he walked to the stage.

Tao Yuming held a cigarette and smiled very kindly.

Someone greeted him and asked him what he was doing at such a big meeting, he first shook his head, and then immediately glared and said, "I won't know what to do for a while." ”

Bai Cunli and other deputy county magistrates of the county government, deputy directors of the county, and the chairman and vice chairman of the CPPCC are here.

The last to arrive was Propaganda Minister Mao Xingdong.

Early in the morning, after Mao Xingdong got the news that he was going to hold a cadre meeting, he immediately called the director of the county television station and asked him to arrange film crews to report on the grand occasion of the cadre meeting in an all-round way. After arriving at the auditorium, he went to check the preparations for the television station, and it was almost ten o'clock before he walked briskly to the rostrum, which attracted the attention of many people.

At this time, there are still three minutes left to leave the meeting.

The leaders on the stage are already seated.

Sitting in the first row were seven members of the Standing Committee: Chu Tianshu, Fu Damu, Yang Fugui, Geng Zhongtian, Zhou Yuning, Mao Xingdong and Tao Yuming. The other deputy county magistrates, deputy directors and vice-chairmen sat in the second row.

Chu Tianshu glanced at the auditorium.

The cadres who arrived at the auditorium, about 300 people, had already found their seats and sat neatly below.

It seems that the effect of Liu Qingyan's personal phone call is still good, most of the cadres arrived on time, and only a few seats are still vacant.

The seats of the principal responsible persons of the township are arranged in the first row under the rostrum, and looking down from above, among the dense crowd, only the seat card of Zheng Youtian, secretary of the Xinglin Township Party Committee, is empty, which is particularly conspicuous.

Looking further back, there are still a few empty seats on individual rows, and you can see them clearly.

Xue Jinlong, who was in charge of counting the number of people, took a note and ran up, habitually walked to Fu Damu's side, and bent down to prepare to report to him.

Fu Damu had a calm face and said in a low voice, Comrade Jin Long, today's meeting was convened by Secretary Chu, and you don't need to report to me.

Xue Jinlong turned his head and said to Chu Tianshu, Secretary Chu, cadres of county-level organs, factories and mines, schools, hospitals and other directly subordinate units, all of whom should have arrived, only Zheng Youtian, secretary of the township party committee of Xinglin Township, asked for leave, Huo Qiming, director of the health bureau, had not turned on his mobile phone, Peng Baoluan, director of the Finance Bureau, Zhang Zhuo, director of the Mineral Resources Bureau, Gong Hantang, director of the local taxation bureau, and Gao Daquan, deputy director of the Family Planning Commission, had not yet arrived.

Among them, Huo Qiming, the director of the Health Bureau, is Geng Zhongtian's close confidant, and the other five people are Fu Damu's right-hand men, and they are also frequent visitors who were late for meetings in the county before.

Chu Tianshu nodded when he listened, ignored Xue Jinlong, and asked Fu Damu with a smile: "Lao Fu, these comrades are leaders in important positions, should we wait for them?" ”

Hehe, even if you know each other, you also know that it depends on the owner to beat the dog! Fu Damu smiled and said, "Xiao Chu, you will sing the leading role today, and you have the final say." ”

There was a little commotion at the bottom, and many people were secretly shaking their heads, indignant in their hearts: it's over, the new secretary is also instigating, and he said it harshly when he sent the notice, and those who were absent and late for no reason should appear in public, write out the inspection, and deal with it seriously. It's good now, the six people who are the secretary are Fu Damu and Geng Zhongtian's henchmen, and they didn't arrive at the venue, but they offered to wait for them, isn't the more than 300 people below as important as the six of them? !

"Okay." Chu Tianshu turned around and said to Xue Jinlong, "Director Xue, you call Secretary Zheng of Xinglin Township and ask where he is?" How long will it take to arrive? ”

When Xue Jinlong heard this, his head immediately became bigger.

He knew that Zheng Youtian wanted to drink at noon, so he didn't come to the meeting for some reason.

originally thought that Fu Damu would not come to support Chu Tianshu, Zheng Youtian's reason for asking for leave was to accompany Fu Damu to inspect the work, but he didn't think that Fu Damu would still come to the meeting, this hectic, Xue Jinlong forgot about this stubble, and he didn't expect Chu Tianshu to be kind enough to ask him when he could arrive, and it was too late to remind him at this time.

Fu Damu didn't know what was going on, his eyes widened, and he pretended to be angry and said, "Jin Long, didn't you hear Secretary Chu's words?" ”

Xue Jinlong broke out in a sweat, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Zheng Youtian's mobile phone.

Chu Tianshu said: "Director Xue, turn on the hands-free button and let everyone listen to it, lest everyone have ideas." ”

Xue Jinlong put his phone on the table and turned on the hands-free button.

Zheng Youtian said with a big grin: "Director Xue, isn't the meeting at ten o'clock?" Why do you have time to call me? ”

There was another commotion below.

In this way, Zheng Youtian has already been notified.

Xue Jinlong said: "Oh, Secretary Zheng, Secretary Chu asked me to ask, where are you now?" How long will it take to arrive? ”

Zheng Youtian smiled and said, "Director Xue, I still have urgent matters here, I can't go, so I asked Director Liu for leave when I received the notice." ”

Xue Jinlong wanted to make a sloppy look for Zheng Youtian, "Oh, oh" After answering a few times, he was about to hang up the phone.

Chu Tianshu stretched out his hand to stop him, and suddenly asked into his mobile phone: "Secretary Zheng, I am Chu Tianshu." More than 300 cadres in the county have arrived, may I ask if you have any urgent matters that you can't attend the meeting? ”

Zheng Youtian was stunned for a while, as if he was wondering who this person was? After a few seconds, he finally reacted and hurriedly said, "Oh, it's Secretary Chu, I'm really sorry." The county magistrate came to Xinglin Township in the morning, and I was accompanying him to inspect the work. ”

The audience was in an uproar and there was a lot of discussion.

Fu Damu's nose on the side was almost crooked, and he scolded in his heart, Zheng Youtian, you are a dog, what reason are you making up, you have to lie in front of Lao Tzu.

Fu Damu was angry and anxious, grabbed a phone, and scolded: "Zheng Youtian, pull your mother's eggs, I'm Fu Damu at the venue, are you a ghost?" With that, he hung up the phone in a huff and slammed it on the table.

Xue Jinlong was so distressed that he was sweating, and he hurriedly snatched the mobile phone, pulled it a few times, and saw if it was broken.

Fu Damu inadvertently glanced at Geng Zhongtian on the side sneering slightly, and suddenly became angry, he called Xue Jinlong with a blushing face, and said, "Jinlong, you ask again, what's going on with Huo Qiming from the Health Bureau?" ”

The muscles on Geng Zhongtian's face twitched, and he was silent on the surface, but he was scolding in his heart: Fu Damu, you are really fucking not interesting, Zheng Youtian made a fool of himself in public, what are you angry with my people?

Xue Jinlong got Fu Damu's instructions, and naturally understood it, knowing that Fu Damu meant to pull the back for Zheng Youtian, he still turned on the hands-free button and dialed Huo Qiming's mobile phone.

At this time, Huo Qiming was driving a car, and he had just entered Nanling County, and his mobile phone had just been turned on.

Last night, Zhu Xiaoyun, the vice president of the county hospital, opened a room in a star-rated hotel in Qingyuan City and spent a passionate evening with Huo Qiming. In order not to affect the heat of the burning and prevent outsiders from disturbing and checking the post with his family, Zhu Xiaoyun secretly turned off his mobile phone before burning.

The Spring Festival has been a good soul several times.

Huo Qiming hugged Zhu Xiaoyun and slept until daylight, and couldn't stand Zhu Xiaoyun's teasing and lingering, so he came to a farewell game, and Huo Qiming, who was over half a hundred years old, was exhausted, and it was more than nine o'clock after resting, so he dressed up and went out separately to rush back.

The car was bumpy on the washboard road into the county, Huo Qiming wanted to call his wife, took out his mobile phone and looked at it, only to find that the phone was turned off, and as soon as he turned on the mobile phone, Xue Jinlong's call came in.
