In the large conference room, the people have not yet come, the county party committee and the county government are qualified to come to this meeting of the cadres are really a lot, the deputy county magistrate, deputy secretary, secretary general and deputy secretary general are sprinkled with thirty or forty people, the cadres are shy, holding a notebook, holding a shiny stainless steel boss cup, unhurriedly come to the conference room to sit down, sit down in groups of three or five, spread out the book, unscrew the pen cap, open the teacup lid, and wait for the waiter to refill the hot water.

In this process, Zhou Wen sat in the seat at the door, and every cadre who came in greeted him politely, but the cold politeness that refused to make people thousands of miles away made Zhou Wen feel cold to the bone.

The director of the office saw that the people were almost here, so he invited the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary Xu of the County Party Committee who were in the lounge next door, and the meeting officially began.

The deputy minister of the organization department spoke at a very high level, he first called Zhou Wen to sit beside him, and then began to speak, affirming the recent work achievements of the Nantai County Party Committee and the county government, announced the resolution of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and transferred Comrade Zhou Wen to the county magistrate of Nantai County.

After Vice Minister Fang finished speaking, Secretary Xu of the county party committee made a speech, first on behalf of the county party committee, he welcomed Comrade Zhou Wen to join the economic construction work of Nantai County, and then asked everyone to closely unite around the county party committee and county government, grasp the work in a down-to-earth manner, conscientiously implement it, strive for economic construction to a new level, and take off the hat of a state-level poverty-stricken county as soon as possible......

After Secretary Xu finished speaking, it was the turn of the new county magistrate to express his position, Zhou Wen took the microphone and put it in front of him and said: "The organization transferred me to Nantai County to preside over the work, I thank the organization for its trust, but also feel a lot of pressure, the task is very heavy, as we all know, Nantai County's economic exhibition is slow, the industrial foundation is weak, agriculture is also underreached, the hat of the national poor county is worn for more than ten years, the income level of farmers and urban residents is low, as a member of the new leadership team of Nantai County, I think we should work together under the leadership of Secretary Xu, Put investment promotion in place and contribute to the economic take-off of Nantai County. ”

In just a few words, even if Zhou Wen's statement was over, he transferred the microphone to Secretary Xu, and the cadres below did not expect that Zhou Wen, who is known as the pen, would speak so concisely, and he was stunned for a moment before he began to applaud, but most people did not think so of his speech, the slogan of poverty alleviation and prosperity has been shouted for more than ten years, just clichés, nothing new, it seems that the young cadre who is the No. 1 of the provincial party committee is fancy is not a catty.

Secretary Xu made a concluding remarks, and he spoke a lot of words in a lot before announcing the dismissal of the meeting.

Sending off Deputy Minister Fang and Liu Ziguang, Zhou Wen came to his new office, which is the most spacious office in the White House building of the county government, the former Tang County Magistrate was here to manage everything, the office is very luxurious, the tables and chairs are mahogany, the whole wall is a bookshelf, which is full of all kinds of brand-new classics, showing the owner's erudition, a conspicuous position on the wall, hanging a word, it is said to be the handwriting of a famous person, after the arrest of the county magistrate, personal property was confiscated and seized, but this word was left in the office.

Several workers are moving furniture out, and the new county magistrate naturally can't use the furniture used by the old county magistrate, and the county magistrate Tang is guilty of stepping down, which is unlucky.

Zhou Wen looked at the mahogany desk and leather sand, which were almost brand new, and asked, "What to do with these furniture?" ”

"Move to the storage room and put it first." The head of the office explained.

"Oh." Zhou Wen nodded, and turned around the empty room twice with his hands behind his back, this large office is fifty square meters, divided into inner and outer suites, an outer office, a bedroom inside, a bathroom in the bedroom, lamps, carpets, furniture, and sanitary ware are all the most high-end products.

"County Magistrate Zhou, this is a list of furniture, you can refer to it first, if you are not satisfied, you can also order it." The director of the office handed over the color-printed catalogue of furniture products and asked the county magistrate to order it, and Zhou Wen said without looking at it: "No need, just bring the tables and chairs in the room of my assistant county magistrate and use them." ”

"Those office furniture are too simple...... Director Huang of the office rubbed his hands, this middle-aged man in his forties has been in the office for fifteen years, and he is sleek and exquisite, how can he not understand what Zhou Wen means, the new county magistrate is a maverick, showing his honesty and clarity, but according to this method, the furniture factory run by his friend will have no business.

"Familiar, get used to it." Zhou Wen smiled faintly, the county magistrate was full of words, Director Huang didn't say more, and instructed the workers to move Zhou Wen's original tables and chairs in.

At noon, in the canteen of the county organ, the little clerks lined up noisily, holding stainless steel dinner plates in their hands, passing by the window in turn, and asking the master to beat two pieces of meat into their dinner plates, a spoonful of green vegetables, a tuo rice or two steamed buns, and the green vegetable tofu and egg soup were held in stainless steel insulated buckets, and the spoons were placed in the buckets, and each person could scoop a spoonful.

Don't look at the magnificence of the Nantai County Government, and the canteen is also decorated like a luxury hotel, but this food is really not flattering, on the one hand, because the county finances are tight, but the more important reason is that the canteen contractor is the brother-in-law of Director Huang of the office.

A familiar figure walked in, white shirt and black pants, a kind smile, Sven's face, took a stainless steel dinner plate from the table and walked into the line, the people in line to eat are the lowest people in the county government, such as security guards, typists, etc., but their news is not closed at all, and they immediately recognized this person as the original assistant Zhou, the current county magistrate Zhou.

"Hello County Magistrate Zhou!"

"Hello county magistrate."

Everyone got out of the way and asked Zhou Wen to eat first, but Zhou Wen smiled and said: "Queue up, there is always one who comes first and arrives." ”

When it was Zhou Wen's turn, the master gave two extra spoonfuls of meat, and the green vegetables were also beaten with some vegetable leaves, but even so, Zhou Wen frowned slightly when he saw this dish.

It's too shabby, the two pieces of inexplicable meat don't look like they are viscera or lymph, there are insect eyes on the green vegetables, and I lose my appetite when I see it, the rice is the cheapest hybrid rice, it is loose and not sticky when cooked, and the taste is very poor, as for the green vegetable tofu and egg soup, it is even more pitiful, and I can't get any dry goods with a colander, and it is estimated that this whole pot of soup is only an egg.

When Zhou Wen used to be the director of the tourism bureau and the assistant to the county magistrate, like other directors, he never ate in the canteen, this was the first time he came to the canteen, and the difference in the quality of the food surprised him greatly, but when the leader of the city government always has this, the quality of the food is poor, and he can't blame the master, there are many ways involved, and Zhou Wen, who has worked at the grassroots level for many years, naturally looks like a mirror in his heart.

Holding the dinner plate, Zhou Wen raised his eyes and looked around, and saw two familiar faces, these two young men are security guards of the county government, veterans, and when they went back to the last time, they escorted Zhou Wen to the soup.

"There's no one here." Zhou Wen asked with a smile, put the dinner plate on the table, and the two security guards were flattered, and quickly stood up and said, "No one, no one, County Magistrate Zhou, you sit." ”

Zhou Wen sat down, while eating, he and the two security guards were holding home, who was in the family, were they married, how much money could they get every month, etc., the two security guards were a little restrained, and they didn't dare to eat, and answered the county magistrate's questions honestly with their hands down.

"What are you doing so seriously, just eating and chatting, eat quickly, it's cold for a while." Zhou Wen said with a smile, just like a kind brother, the atmosphere slowly became harmonious, and the other small staff also came over with a grin, the county magistrate is a sky-high existence, can eat with the county magistrate, and after going back, there will be at least half a year to brag about.

After eating, Zhou Wen stood up and said with a smile: "I have to leave quickly, if I don't leave, I will be visited by you as a giant panda." “

There was a burst of laughter, and the clerks and temporary workers were all amused by the humorous County Magistrate Zhou, and only when he left did they start talking about it in twos and threes.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the cars with the license plate of the county government came back one after another, and the directors and section chiefs walked into the office with red faces, and the news of Zhou Wen eating in the canteen at noon quickly reached their ears, and before the end of work, the nickname of "Zuoxiu County Magistrate" was released.

As if in order to confirm this nickname, Zhou Wen announced his mobile phone number and email address in the noon news of the county television station the next day, and set up a so-called county magistrate hotline and county magistrate's mailbox to accept complaints and suggestions from the masses.

For a while, there was ridicule in the county government, especially those deputy county magistrates of the real power faction, who did not hide their contempt for Zhou Wen at all, in terms of age, seniority and political achievements, which of them was not better than Zhou Wen, it was because Zhou Wen was good at showing off and showing himself in front of the leaders that he crossed the level to become the county magistrate.

In the first week of taking office, Zhou Wen did not make any moves, went to and from work step by step every day, ate and slept, during which he only accompanied his wife and children around the county, ate a meal of wild boar, and paid the bills by himself.

In this way, after a week of calm, Zhou Wen finally made a move, he proposed at the government work conference to build a road for Dahe Township to solve the problem of difficult travel for the people on rainy days, as soon as the voice fell, the director of the transportation bureau began to cry poor, saying that the bureau could not get any money at all, Zhou Wen asked where the poverty alleviation and road repair funds allocated above every year went, why a road has not been repaired for three years.

The deputy county magistrate in charge of transportation infrastructure and finance came out to play haha, saying that Zhou county magistrate, you don't know the specific situation, Nanjiang Highway is an important channel for coal transportation in Nantai County, and now the freight cost remains high, the transportation truck is seriously limited, and the highway is of course maintained every year.

When he said this, several deputy county magistrates looked at Zhou Wen with pity and disdain, as if to say, you don't know such a simple basic situation, what kind of county magistrate should you be.

Zhou Wen was really choked and speechless, and the meeting ended hastily.

won all the first round, and the deputy county magistrates despised Zhou Wen even more, he was still a county magistrate at this level, and he was not qualified to be a county magistrate's secretary.
