Long Zaitian took out a handful of money from his trouser pocket and put it in front of Xu Haodong, "Uncle Xu, I confess frankly, today I learned from Lei Feng and helped people send letters to your house, and by the way, I earned some hard-earned money, fifty yuan per person per letter, conscience price, hey, it's all here." ”

"Lei Feng doesn't charge money for doing good deeds." Xu Haodong smiled slightly, "Fifty-three letters, fifty yuan each, a total of two thousand six hundred and fifty yuan, you are just a fraction." ”

Long Zaitian stared at Xu Haodong in surprise, and gave a thumbs up like an adult, "Uncle Xu, your god, you won't be lying on the crack of the door and counting, right?" As he spoke, he took out a lot of money from another trouser pocket and two coat pockets, and put it all on the table, "Uncle Xu, according to the policy, confess and be lenient." ”

Xu Haodong saw the mobile phone in Long Zaitian's pocket, stretched out his hand and said, "Let me see." ”

"Ugh." Long Zaitian took out his phone.

"Yo, Apple Five, better than I do." Xu Haodong asked: "I'm tired to inquire, this is also what I learned from Lei Feng?" ”

"Li Qinjun and Uncle Li gave it to me, you and he are buddies, I don't believe you ask."

"Explain, why did your Uncle Li give you your mobile phone."

The dragon was in the Heavenly God and the Tao, first looked around, and then approached Xu Haodong and whispered: "Uncle Xu, I am now Uncle Li's informant, the only informant in this area, once I made a meritorious service, Uncle Li awarded me this mobile phone, but Uncle Li is the same as you, the mobile phone was bought in a second-hand store, and it was only 600 yuan." ”

Xu Haodong chuckled, "Just you?" Return the informant, I think the line is about the same. ”

"Uncle Xu, you are underestimating me, it's not me blowing with you, I don't know many people in this area, but they all know me, even the city management took the initiative to greet me when they saw me, and I entered the door of the police station casually."

As he spoke, Long Zaitian patted his chest, "Uncle Xu, if you have any difficulties in the future, gossip, I will help you settle it." ”

Xu Haodong snorted with a calm face, and Long stuck out his tongue in the sky and smiled embarrassedly.

"Say, what should I do with this money?"

"Uncle Xu, let me first state that this is neither ill-gotten wealth nor illegal income, they report the situation to you, but they are afraid of being seen, I am righteous and courageous, market economy, one is willing to be beaten. I handed over the money to you, you can do whatever you say, but I don't know who they are, and it's impossible to pay back the money, beautiful sister, do you think I have any reason? ”

Xu Yunjie couldn't help but smile and said, "It makes sense." ”

"Well, well, let's not take it as an example."

"I swear, Uncle Xu, I vouch for my personality and will never make an example." Long Zaitian patted his chest again, gave Xu Haodong a thumbs up, and hurriedly put the money on the table into his pocket, "Uncle Xu, you are wise and mighty, I raise my hands and feet in favor of you being the secretary of the municipal party committee." ”

"Stinky boy, don't be slick with me." Xu Haodong's gaze softened, "Xiaolong, is your grandmother okay?" ”

"It's great, the body is great, the food is fragrant, her old man is now setting up a fruit stall at the entrance of Nancheng People's Hospital, it all depends on me to cover it, dare to set up a stall on the street, and the city management and security guards can't do anything about her."

"Speak well, what about you? Why don't you get a job? ”

"Ouch, my Uncle Xu, I'm not even sixteen years old now, who dares to hire a child laborer, last time I was arrested for helping people deliver fast food, and the boss was fined 3,000 yuan."

"Oh, do you still live in a shantytown?"

"Where can my family live if I don't live in a shantytown, Uncle Xu, when you were mayor, you said that it would be a subsidy of 200,000 yuan per household, and the area of the old house would be one square meter and the new house would be one square meter. But as soon as you left on the front foot, the people on the back foot did not admit it, and changed it to a subsidy of 100,000 yuan per household, and the area of the old house was one square and half a square of the new house, who would want to do it. Therefore, we all united as one, no one moved, and we fought a few battles with the people of the demolition and relocation office, and we fought bravely, and the demolition and relocation office of the dog day was done to the bumpy, and fled in the wilderness......"

Xu Haodong waved his hand, "You can go back, say hello to your grandmother for me, and say that I will see her go when I am free." ”

"Hehe, can I really go?"

"If you don't leave, you'll be asked to clean the public toilets."

Before the words fell, the dragon was no longer in the sky.

Xu Haodong and Xu Yunjie also left the noodle shop to go home, Xu Yunjie reached out to hold Xu Haodong's arm, Xu Haodong couldn't shake it off, so he had to let Xu Yunjie do it, fortunately, the street lights on Bayi Road were not very bright, and passers-by were not likely to pay attention to the intimacy of a man and a woman.

In the next two days, Xu Haodong stayed at home, Xu Yunjie helped him collect all the information about Yunling City in the past three years from the Internet, and he made up a lesson seriously. Of course, there are dozens of anonymous letters, and later more than forty letters were brought by Xiao Qianlong in the sky, and Xu Haodong read them carefully.

During this period, many city leaders and department and township leaders came to visit, but Xu Haodong was not seen, and a four-character sign was hung on the door: Refuse to visit.

There were no fewer phone calls, but Xu Yunjie replied with a unified caliber, and I will talk about what I have after May 4.

May 4th, the first day of work after Labor Day.

A quarter past nine o'clock in the morning.

In the administrative center of Yunling City, a fifteen-story building stands majestically.

Xu Haodong was greeted in the hall on the first floor by Feng Xinggui, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and Wang Weiming, member of the standing committee of the municipal party committee, secretary general of the municipal party committee and director of the office of the municipal party committee.

Wang Weiming is 40 years old this year, graduated from the Chinese Department of Dongjiang University, and is of course an old acquaintance of Xu Haodong. Wang Weiming looks a little decadent, he, like Xu Haodong, was cultivated and promoted by the three former secretaries, and the three former secretaries fell one after another, and his mood naturally couldn't get better.

After saying hello, Feng Xinggui asked Xu Haodong whether he would go to the office on the seventh floor or go directly to the conference room on the sixth floor, and Xu Haodong said that he would go directly to the conference room.

In the elevator dedicated to the leader, Xu Haodong asked Feng Xinggui, Mayor Lin Jianfeng, have they come back?

Feng Xinggui said that except for Mayor Lin Haifeng and Vice Mayor Gu Qingping, all other comrades have returned and can go to work today. Vice Mayor Gu Qingping died on the plane back to China, and his body was still in the provincial capital, and Mayor Lin Haifeng's family was in the provincial capital, saying that he was ill and took a week's leave.

Xu Haodong didn't say anything, this Lin Jianfeng didn't become the leader, and he relied on his backer to play an attitude, which was already expected by him.

Conference Room 1 can accommodate more than a dozen people for meetings, and the Standing Committee or the municipal government office meeting is usually held here. In the conference room, the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Television Station, and the Municipal Daily were ready.

After shaking hands and greeting each other, Xu Haodong said to Feng Xinggui and Wang Weiming: "Lao Feng, Lao Wang, let the comrades all leave, there is no need to make a big report on the inauguration ceremony, just send a news without video and no photos, the video should not exceed one minute, and the text report should not exceed one hundred and fifty words." ”

Feng Xinggui was a little embarrassed, and he was even more confused, when other leaders took office, they couldn't wait to welcome them with gongs and drums, but Xu Haodong took a low-key route. It seems that I haven't seen each other for three years, and I need to scrape my bones to see each other, and now Xu Haodong is no longer the shortest-lived mayor in history.

Xu Haodong insisted again and again, and Feng Xinggui got off the donkey down the slope and quickly sent away the people from the Propaganda Department, the city television station and the city daily.

At about nine o'clock, the members of the city's two sets of teams arrived one after another.

The two teams of Yunling City have a total of 19 members, 11 members of the Standing Committee, and the municipal government team includes two temporary deputy mayors and the director of the municipal government office, a total of 10 people, of which the mayor and the executive vice mayor are also members of the Standing Committee. Mayor Lin Jianfeng is not there, and Vice Mayor Gu Qingping is dead, so there are a total of 17 people who attended the inauguration ceremony of the new secretary, including Xu Haodong.

The inauguration ceremony was very simple, less than 15 minutes in total, and first Feng Xinggui, deputy secretary, read out three documents, one was from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, the second was from the Standing Committee of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee, and the third was from the Organization Department of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee. In fact, the Standing Committee of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee still has a document on the decision to rehabilitate Comrade Xu Haodong, but Xu Haodong does not agree to read it, and Feng Xinggui can only give up.

Then came the new secretary's speech. Xu Haodong's speech was unique, he recited the eight regulations and six prohibitions of the central government, and finally he said: "Comrades, I am willing to compare the eight regulations and six prohibitions with myself, and I hope that you will supervise me in the future. ”

The applause rang out, but it was not warm, Xu Haodong didn't care about this, on the contrary, this was exactly what he wanted, the leadership team could not be harmonious, he had to keep a distance from them first, and then slowly approach.

The heads of the Municipal People's Congress, the CPPCC and the two courts did not come, I don't know if Feng Xinggui did not notify them, or notified them not to come, Feng Xinggui did not say, and Xu Haodong did not ask

Feng Xinggui announced the end of the inauguration ceremony, Xu Haodong took the lead in getting up, waved his hand, and everyone left their seats one after another.

Wang Weiming, director of the Office of the Municipal Party Committee, stayed to accompany Xu Haodong, as the "big housekeeper" of the Municipal Party Committee, the miscellaneous affairs related to the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee must be solved by him, "Secretary Xu, I'll send you to the office first." ”

Xu Haodong smiled and nodded, "Lao Wang, let me make a small request to you first, we are old colleagues, you are older than me, so in non-public occasions, you call me Haodong as in the past, I listen to it cordial and comfortable." ”

Wang Weiming answered and accompanied Xu Haodong down the stairs to the seventh floor.

The seventh floor is the office of the Municipal Standing Committee, and the eighth floor is the office of the municipal government. The city administrative center building was built when Fang Yishan was the secretary, Fang Yishan believed in superstition, and even the design of the building had to consult the so-called feng shui masters on the rivers and lakes. When the two teams and various departments allocated offices, Fang Yishan strongly advocated that the seventh floor should be returned to the municipal Standing Committee and the eighth floor should be returned to the municipal government. Fang Yishan said that there is a special thing among the people, called seven up and eight down, and working on the seventh floor can bring good luck in the career.

It's a pity that the office on the seventh floor didn't bring good luck to Fang Yishan, he went up, but he went down quickly and miserably, and he will never be able to turn over.

The building is east-west, with an inner corridor in the middle and a row of offices on each side, Wang Weiming accompanied Xu Haodong for a few steps, and suddenly remembered an important question.

The office of the secretary of the municipal party committee is the one facing south from the east end of the building, which is the best place, but it was in that office that the former secretary Guo Tao was taken away, is it appropriate to arrange the new secretary there?

Xu Haodong guessed why Wang Weiming hesitated, laughed, walked to the door of the secretary's office, pushed open the door and walked in.
