Feng Xinggui had to admire Xu Haodong's method of employing people, he didn't need acquaintances, he was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of the problems with acquaintances, and he didn't need ready-made cadres, he was afraid that the people he used would have problems themselves.

However, with Chen Ping'an, a "newcomer" who has been transferred from the army, there is no problem of using the wrong person, and the moral character of a soldier is higher than that of ordinary people, and this is a basic fact. Even if Chen Ping'an had a problem, it was a problem when he was in the army, and it had nothing to do with the local authorities. If Chen Ping'an has problems after taking office, Chang Dalin and Jin Qunli, the chief and deputy ministers of the Ministry of Armed Forces, will first be responsible, because they are Chen Ping'an's recommenders, and Xu Haodong will only have some leadership responsibility at most.

Another point, Pankou Town is a corruption disaster area, and seven of the eleven members of the town's two teams have "entered", but the team below has not yet been rectified and cleaned up.

In addition, Chen Ping'an had a good relationship with Chang Dalin and Jin Qunli, the chief and deputy ministers of the Ministry of Armed Forces, and Xu Haodong used Chen Ping'an, and by the way, he also curried favor with Chang Dalin and Jin Qunli, which was an additional benefit.

The appointment of Chen Ping'an is a personal order from the top leader, and Feng Xinggui has no reason to disagree with Yan Fang and Xia Fulin.

Xu Haodong was very satisfied, and ordered a Chen Ping'an, and it was time for Feng Xinggui to be satisfied, "Old Feng, I recommended the Secretary of the Party Committee of Pankou Town, and now, it's time for you to recommend the mayor of Pankou Town." ”

Feng Xinggui had already prepared, and he recommended Fang Changxi, deputy director of the Municipal Information and Industry Bureau.

After pondering for a while, Xu Haodong smiled, "Old Feng, you old fox, this is my army."

This Fang Changxi is not only Xu Haodong's classmate, but also a child of the 518 Military Factory, and Xu Haodong and Li Qinjun are both young. But after growing up, Fang Changxi took a different path, graduated from high school and was not admitted to university, and went directly to work at the Haizhou Power Plant, and had little contact with Xu Haodong and Li Qinjun. Xu Haodong heard that Fang Changxi did a good job in the Haizhou City Power Plant, first to work instead of work, and then to become a formal cadre, two years ago, Fang Changxi was transferred from the Haizhou City Power Plant to Yunling City, first in the Municipal Development and Reform Bureau for half a year, and then transferred to the Municipal Information and Industry Bureau as a deputy director.

Feng Xinggui laughed, "Juxian doesn't avoid relatives." Comrade Fang Changxi is your hair small, but we can't abandon him because he is your hair small, it's not that the six relatives don't recognize it. Besides, Fang Changxi has just returned from studying at the Provincial Party School, and he was originally in the allocation plan of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. ”

It's okay, Xu Haodong thought to himself, you Feng Xinggui tricked me, then I will also trap you, it's not polite to come and not communicate, "Okay, Lao Xia, please record, Deputy Secretary Feng Xinggui recommended Comrade Fang Changxi to be the mayor of Pankou Town, Secretary Xu Haodong agreed, if Comrade Fang Changxi has a problem, Deputy Secretary Feng Xinggui is responsible for recommending, and Secretary Xu Haodong is responsible for leadership." ”

Xia Fulin responded, and recorded it in his work manual, with a very serious attitude.

Organization Minister Yan Fang was smiling coquettishly beside him, Feng Xinggui wanted to use the public to blackmail privately, and slightly put Xu Haodong together, but he didn't expect Xu Haodong's old driver to play Feng Xinggui together in turn, and put each other together.

Feng Xinggui also smiled bitterly, "Haodong, you are treating kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”

Xu Haodong didn't laugh, but turned to Yan Fang and Xia Fulin, "Minister Yan, Lao Xia, what do you know about Fang Changxi?" ”

Yan Fang said: "Realistically speaking, based on the performance of the past two years, I think Fang Changxi is qualified for the position of town mayor, and so far, there has been no bad reaction from Fang Changxi, and the integrity has still withstood the test." ”

Xia Fulin said: "I have no opinion, I listen to the leader." ”

Feng Xinggui made fun of Xia Fulin, "Lao Xia, I admire you as a Taiping, I listen to the leader, I can be invincible in one sentence, and I will not make mistakes in my life." ”

Xia Fulin also made fun of himself, "So I followed the leader closely, because I followed too closely, but I was forgotten by the leader." Otherwise, maybe Lao Feng, your place should be for me to sit. ”

Xu Haodong waved his hand, "Since the four of us have the same thoughts, then it is decided, the Standing Committee will be held in the afternoon, and then talk to Chen Ping'an and Fang Changxi." Lao Feng, tomorrow you and Lao Xia will make a hard trip and send the two of them to Pankou Town to take office. ”

The things that have been decided by the top leaders are generally implemented quite quickly.

In the afternoon, the Provisional Standing Committee only had one agenda item, so it only took one hour to approve the appointment of Chen Ping'an and Fang Changxi.

At a quarter past four, Yan Fang, the head of the organization, accompanied Chen Ping'an and Fang Changxi to Xu Haodong's office.

"Secretary Xu, Vice Minister Xia and I, on behalf of the Organization Department, have already had a conversation with Comrade Ping'an and Comrade Changxi, do you have any other orders?"

Xu Haodong shook hands with Chen Ping'an first, "Soldier, one word, hard." "Shake hands with Sun Changxi again," old classmate, one word, familiar." ”

Then, Xu Haodong invited Yan Fang to sit down with Chen Ping'an and Sun Changxi, and personally went to make three cups of tea.

"Comrade Ping'an, Comrade Changxi, I don't like to give instructions, so I don't have instructions, so I'll just say a few words."

Chen Ping'an and Sun Changxi took the pen and the notebook to make a record, but Xu Haodong waved his hand to stop them.

Yan Fang smiled and said, "Comrade Ping'an, Comrade Changxi, you have to remember in the future, Secretary Xu doesn't like this." ”

"Just talk." Xu Haodong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Comrade Ping'an, Comrade Changxi, I will take one word from each of your names and give it to you, Ping'an, Changxi, you just follow these two words." ”

Chen Ping'an said: "Secretary Xu, I thank the organization and you for their trust, I will do my best to do my best, but I don't have a little local work experience." ”

"All I want is your inexperience." Xu Haodong said: "In grassroots work, the key is not to toss, to do less things, to seek more people, especially in Pankou Town, there are many cadre problems, your main job is to manage people, manage the cadre team well, you are a qualified party secretary." ”

Chen Ping'an said: "Secretary Xu, I understand what you mean, I will definitely do what you ask." ”

Xu Haodong turned to Fang Changxi and said: "Changxi, let me give you a thorough explanation, we are from elementary school to high school, but I recommended Comrade Ping'an, but I didn't recommend you, you should know what I mean." ”

Sun Changxi nodded and said, "I understand." ”

"I'll be staring at you in the future." Xu Haodong said: "Changxi, there is only one reminder for you, put yourself in the right position." ”

"I remember." Sun Changxi said: "However, I don't have any grassroots work experience, so you can remind me more." ”

After thinking for a while, Xu Haodong said: "You are in charge of macro work in the Information and Industry Bureau, but there may be no macro work in Pankou Town, where 99 percent of the private economy is not managed, and you can't manage it well, so I suggest that you build the People's Government of Pankou Town into a service-oriented government, and the word service is a big article, I hope you will cooperate with Comrade Ping'an to do a good job in this big article and set an example for other township streets." ”

At the end of the conversation, Xu Haodong sent Chen Ping'an and Sun Changxi out, and when they arrived at the door, Xu Haodong said: "Oh yes, Comrade Ping'an, Comrade Changxi, I personally have a small request for the two of you, write me a report every two weeks." There is no matter how long or short the report is, you can do it according to how you write, whether it is work or life, or thinking, you can report anything. ”

Yan Fang hurriedly said: "Comrade Ping'an, Comrade Changxi, you must not do inappropriately, Secretary Xu does not like oral reports, face-to-face reports, what he likes is written reports, Secretary Xu often said such a few words, wine is morality, chess is character, and the work report is a mirror, reflecting the level and morality of cadres." So, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

Chen Ping'an and Sun Changxi responded "yes" and left in their homes.

Yan Fang had no intention of leaving.

Xu Haodong had no choice but to "invite" Yan Fang back to the office, "Minister Yan, do you still have something?" ”

"Secretary Haodong, that is, the matter between me and Lao Feng has been broadcast live, and Lao Feng and I have also expressed our position, if we don't solve it and don't come up with a result, we won't be able to explain it to the organization and the masses."

Nodding and smiling, Xu Haodong said: "Minister Yan, you are right, for us people, party members are no trivial matter, and private affairs are official affairs." Therefore, the matter between you and Lao Feng is really not a trivial matter. ”

"Secretary Haodong, you can help me get an idea."

"Haha, I can't handle that." Xu Haodong said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, and this old saying says that it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage." You and Lao Feng have to make up your own minds. ”

"No, Secretary Haodong, I have to ask you about this." Yan Fang coquettishly said: "Anyway, I have made up my mind, Secretary Haodong, you have to help me, if you don't help me, I won't leave today." ”

"Well, I'm talking nonsense, you're just for reference." Xu Haodong thought for a while, and said seriously: "I think that there are so many choices for you and Lao Feng, one, you two hurry up and get things done, and if the two families become one, you can block everyone's mouths, and there will be no problems." But the price is that the two of you must make a little sacrifice in your career, because the two of you can't work together in the two sets of teams in the city, either you are transferred, or Lao Feng abdicates, and once you retire to the end, you don't even have the opportunity to stay at the National People's Congress to drink tea and read the newspaper. ”

Yan Fang shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this method won't work, Secretary Haodong, you know me, the level is not high and the ability is insufficient, if it is transferred, it may end here." And Lao Feng, you know him better, the older he gets, the more he loves power, even if there is only a year and a half left, he will definitely not retire immediately. ”

"Well, then there is a second way, you and Lao Feng each make a written guarantee to the organization to sever the previous good relationship. After Lao Feng retires, the two of you will be married for another hundred years. ”

Yan Fang shook his head again and said, "I'm afraid this won't work, is this tantamount to deceiving the organization and deceiving the public?" ”

"Then I don't have any other way." Xu Haodong spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

"Secretary Haodong, don't you think this will work." Yan Fang said: "You and I will persuade Lao Feng together, let him retire in advance, completely retreat, what do you think?" ”

Xu Haodong glanced at Yan Fang, and said in his heart that this girl has a big heart, I don't know if her brain is big enough, since she has said this, it is just to set her heart.

"Minister Yan, I want to hear what you have to say."
