Chapter 6: A New Journey (2)
Duan Zetao met his own alumnus, this time he signed up with him to be assigned to Shannan's "second most beautiful woman" Li Mei, although the two had less contact with each other in the school, but at this time he met his old friend in another country, Duan Zetao was naturally very happy, and hurriedly took the initiative to greet her.
When Li Mei saw Duan Zetao, a different look flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she just asked lightly: "Duan Zetao, have you completed your formalities?" ”。
"It's done, assigned to Gulin County to take a temporary post, you are also here to report, go quickly, go to the third floor to find Section Chief Liu of the Comprehensive Cadre Section, we are alumni, we will contact us often in the future!"
The two chatted for a few words, Duan Zetao said goodbye to Li Mei because he had to rush to Gulin County, and left in a hurry, not noticing that Li Mei had been watching his back leave, and only when he was out of sight did he sigh faintly and enter the government office building.
Li Mei went upstairs, but did not go to the section chief Liu of the comprehensive cadre section, but went directly into Zhang Xiaochuan's office, Zhang Xiaochuan saw Li Mei actually stood up from the desk, and greeted him with a smile, "Xiaomei is here, the old leader called me last night, saying that you are coming to report today, I think it is time to arrive, I haven't seen it for a few years, our Xiaomei has grown into a big beauty." ”。
Li Meijiao said angrily: "Uncle Zhang is joking with me again, I will be your soldier in the future, you have to cover me." ”。
The two talked for a while, and Li Mei proposed to go to Gulin County for temporary exercise, "Gulin County?!" Zhang Xiaochuan's mind unconsciously flashed Duan Zetao's heroic and handsome face, he seemed to have guessed something, shook his head with a playful smile: "This is not good, the old leader said when he called me, it is his bottom line to let you come to Shannan City, and I can let you come to Shannan because I can take care of you here." Why don't I call the old leader again and ask? ”。
Li Mei was silent, she knew that her strong father would never agree to go to the county for temporary training, even if she came to Shannan this time, she had a big quarrel with her family and did not hesitate to threaten to sever the relationship between father and daughter.
Li Mei was silent for a while and then said: "Then I want to ask Uncle Zhang for a favor, one of my classmates was assigned to Gulin County for temporary training this time, can you say hello to him and let him take care of it." ”。
Zhang Xiaochuan's conjecture was confirmed, in his opinion, Duan Zetao and Li Mei are indeed a very good match, but he has been under Li Mei's father for many years, and he knows very well that it is impossible for his daughter to be with a young man with no background at all with the character of an old leader, which is destined to be a fruitless relationship.
He sighed secretly and asked, "Oh, you're talking about Xiao Duan, what is your relationship with him?" You applied to come to Shannan for him, right?! ”。
Li Mei replied in a panic: "I...... I don't have anything to do with him, I just think he's talented and shouldn't be buried...... Don't tell my father, please, Uncle Zhang! ”。
Zhang Xiaochuan stood up, paced back and forth, and muttered for a while: "Okay, I can help you make this call, or you may not tell your father, but you also have to promise me that if you don't get your father's consent, you have to keep your distance from this young man, otherwise the old leader will blame you, and it will be difficult for me to do it." ”。
Li Mei bit her red lip and nodded, Zhang Xiaochuan picked up the phone on the desk and called Ma Fugui, secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee, in front of Li Mei, "Secretary Fugui is good, I'm Zhang Xiaochuan, there is such a thing, our organization department has sent a young cadre to your Gulin County for temporary training, called Duan Zetao, this young man is very good, you have to pay more attention." ”。
Ma Fugui was very surprised to receive a call from Zhang Xiaochuan, what kind of character is this Duan Zetao? ! He was able to let Zhang Xiaochuan, who is known as the "Minister of Cold Noodles", call to take care of him personally, but this is a good opportunity to get closer to Zhang Xiaochuan, so he naturally did not dare to slack off, and immediately called the Organization Department of the Gulin County Party Committee and told them that if a young man named Duan Zetao came to report, he would immediately take him directly to his office.
Duan Zetao didn't know that his fate had been quietly changed by this call, he was sitting on the bus from Shannan to Gulin, the road conditions were very poor, but the distance of more than 40 kilometers had been driven for more than an hour, and it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived at Gulin County.
Duan Zetao didn't even have time to eat lunch, and hurried to the Organization Department of the Gulin County Party Committee to report for duty, the staff of the Organization Department had already received a call from Ma Fugui, secretary of the county party committee, and Jiang Hankun, the head of the Organization Department, personally took Duan Zetao to Ma Fugui's office.
When Ma Fugui saw Duan Zetao and the two, he stood up from behind the desk, took the initiative to reach out and shook Duan Zetao's hand hard, and said with a hearty smile: "This is Comrade Xiao Duan, it is really a young talent, we need an outstanding college student like you here to enrich our young cadre team." ”。
Duan Zetao was a little uncomfortable with Ma Fugui's excessive enthusiasm, he really couldn't figure out how an ordinary college graduate could be so courteous to the secretary of the county party committee, not to mention him, even Jiang Hankun on the side was also very surprised, as Ma Fugui's descendant, he had never seen Ma Fugui so enthusiastic about any young cadre.
Ma Fugui beckoned the two to sit down, and asked the secretary Xiaolin to pour tea, and then turned to Jiang Hankun and said: "Comrade Hankun, we must focus on cultivating such an outstanding highly educated young cadre as Xiaoduan. ”。
Jiang Hankun naturally did not express any objections, but Duan Zetao was not willing to go to the county party committee office, he gave up going to the provincial government office, just wanted to do some practical things, not waste time in the sea of Wenshan Hui, he pondered for a while and said: "Secretary Ma, thank you for taking care of me, but I still want to do something practical at the grassroots level, and it is best to go down to the township." ”。
Ma Fugui was a little stunned, but he was quickly relieved, in his mind, Duan Zetao must be a child of a certain ** in the province, come down to gild, have never suffered hardship, and feel that the countryside is fresh and fun, so he insists on going to the countryside, and when he suffers, he will naturally want to be transferred, and he will be transferred up at that time, which can win his gratitude, anyway, in his own acre and three points of land, it is not easy for him to promote a person.
Therefore, he didn't care, but praised Duan Zetao and said: "Xiao Duan has a very high consciousness, he is not afraid of hardships at the grassroots level, it is worth learning from the young cadres of our county, Comrade Han Kun, you have to grasp this typical example, I think so, just put Xiao Duan in Shanglin Township, it is also close to the county seat, it is already late today, I asked Xiao Lin to arrange for you to live in the county party committee guest house for one night, and tomorrow I will trouble Comrade Han Kun to personally go to Shanglin Township, send Xiao Duan down, and also cheer him up." ”。
Ma Fugui arranged for his secretary Xiao Lin to take Duan Zetao to arrange accommodation first, and he personally sent him outside the office. This scene happened to be seen by Liu Mingzheng, the county magistrate who came to talk to him, Liu Mingzheng and Ma Fugui looked like they were separated, the two had been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and no one could help anyone, at this time, seeing that Ma Fugui attached so much importance to this young man, he couldn't help but look at Duan Zetao a few more times, and secretly wanted to go back and ask the secretary to check the bottom of this young man and see where it was sacred.
Xiaolin has been following Ma Fugui for several years, all of them are good people, and seeing that his boss is so polite to Duan Zetao, his attitude towards Duan Zetao is naturally extremely enthusiastic, and even a little deliberately flattering.
"Duan Shao, this is your first time coming to Gulin County, if Secretary Ma allows me to take a leave at night, I will take you around."
"Brother Lin, you are a senior in terms of qualifications, you are higher than me in terms of level, and you are older than me in terms of age, so I should call you eldest brother, if Brother Lin doesn't think the younger brother is stupid, just call me Xiaotao, I will inevitably trouble Brother Lin after I first arrived!" , Duan Zetao took out the Furong King and handed one to Xiaolin, who could be the secretary of the county party secretary, Duan Zetao naturally did not want to let go of such a good opportunity.
In Xiaolin's heart, Duan Zetao has been classified as a ** disciple, seeing him put on such a low posture, he was overjoyed, took the cigarette light, patted Duan Zetao on the shoulder and said: "I am a few years old, so I have the cheekiness to be this big brother, I still know a few people in this Gulin County, and I just have to talk if I have something in the future." ”.
The secretary of the county party committee personally arranged it, and the manager of the county party committee guest house naturally deliberately stammered and arranged a luxury suite for Duan Zetao. ”。
It is said that it is the guest house of the county party committee, but the decoration of the rooms inside is very luxurious, and it is no worse than the star-rated hotels outside.
Xiao Lin went back and told Ma Fugui about inviting Duan Zetao to dinner, originally Ma Fugui also wanted to invite Duan Zetao to dinner in person, thinking about it would be too similar, it would be better for Xiao Lin to come forward for him, neither would he snub Duan Zetao, and he would not be too embarrassed.
Ma Fugui praised Xiao Lin again and again for doing things, thought about it and said to Xiao Lin: "Anyway, there is nothing to do here, you can go over first and let the office send you a car." It's still inappropriate to think about it, "Forget it, don't let the office send a car, you call Lao Liu of the Public Security Bureau and ask him to drive with you, Xiao Duan just arrived in our ancient forest, if you have any difficulties in life in the future, you can let Lao Liu take care of it more, and Lao Liu will make progress in the future, maybe you will need this little help." ”。
Ma Fugui said that Lao Liu is Liu Weiguo, director of the county public security bureau, and is also Ma Fugui's descendant, Ma Fugui originally wanted to promote him to be the secretary of the political and legal committee, but because of the strong opposition of the county magistrate Liu Mingzheng, he had a miscarriage, Ma Fugui wanted Liu Weiguo to borrow Duan Zetao to catch Zhang Xiaochuan's line, if Liu Weiguo can be made the secretary of the political and legal committee, then his strength in the standing committee of the county party committee can overpower Liu Mingzheng.
Xiao Lin called Liu Weiguo and relayed Ma Fugui's original words, Liu Weiguo heard that Duan Zetao could help him progress, and he became more and more curious about this '** kid' who had never met, and immediately flew to the county party committee to pick up Xiao Lin, and the two rushed to the county party committee guest house to pick up Duan Zetao.
Duan Zetao just lay down for a while, he heard Xiao Lin shouting outside the door, opened the door and looked, and saw Xiao Lin and a middle-aged man in a police uniform standing outside the door, without waiting for Xiao Lin to introduce, Liu Weiguo stepped forward one by one, held Duan Zetao's hand tightly with both hands and said: "This is Comrade Zetao, I am Liu Weiguo of the County Public Security Bureau, please take care of me!" ”。
Duan Zetao was a little confused by Liu Weiguo's enthusiasm, he was an ordinary college graduate, why should he take care of the public security chief of a county, but today he was no longer surprised, exchanged glances with Xiao Lin, and said with a hearty smile: "Liu Ju is polite, I have arrived at your territory, you should take care of me, Brother Lin is my eldest brother, his friend is my friend, if Liu Ju is not outside, I will call you Brother Liu." ”。
Xiao Lin and Liu Weiguo both felt that they had a lot of face, and they had a better impression of Duan Zetao, the '** boy', and the three of them were polite, and then got into Liu Mingzheng's car and found a place to eat.
Duan Zetao saw that the car did not stop in the county seat, but drove outside the city, and asked with some curiosity: "Brother Lin, aren't we going to eat?" How do you drive out of the city? Xiao Lin said with a smile: "There are only a few things to eat in the restaurants in the county, and there are many people, my brother will take you to a good place." ”。
The car has been out of the city, driving about four or five kilometers, far away to see a roadside tree "Dream Water Town Resort" billboard, along the side of the road turned in, not far to see a small courtyard surrounded by a bamboo fence, there are several chic small buildings.
Liu Weiguo drove the car directly into the small courtyard, and as soon as the three of them got out of the car, they heard a slightly hoarse and lazy, but coquettish voice with a strange charm coming from behind them: "Yo, what kind of wind is this blowing our county's secretary and the director of the public security bureau?!" ”。
