Zhou Wen's father-in-law is not an ordinary person, he was the deputy secretary of the party committee of Chenguang Machinery Factory in his early years, although the retired cadres of the enterprise are not valuable, but they are also regarded as the ups and downs of the sea, and after retirement, he has maintained the good habit of watching news broadcasts every day and subscribing to "Reference News", and has paid close attention to the international situation and domestic politics.

When Zhou Wen was transferred to the mayor's secretary last time, the old father-in-law called his son-in-law to his home and taught Chunchun, and now Zhou Wen has become a dark horse in the political arena, and suddenly he was promoted from the secretary of the township party committee to the county magistrate.

Zhou Wen knew that his father-in-law had goods in his belly, so he quickly sat down and asked: "Dad, it's still early, you always remind me a few words, what should I pay attention to." ”

The old man coughed dryly, and said to his wife angrily: "Get a plate of peanuts, fry some stinky dry, and buy a bottle of wine, I want good wine." ”

In the past, if the old man suffering from various geriatric diseases had made these requests, he would have been scolded by Liu Xiaojing and her mother, but today is different from the past, and the mother-in-law also knew that the old man was going to start teaching by word and deed.

"I've told you the story of Seon's lost horse, right?" The old man took a sip of wine, and said earnestly, Zhou Wen picked up the wine bottle and filled it for his father-in-law, and said humbly: "Dad, I heard what you said." ”

The old man chewed a peanut for a long time before saying: "Your current situation is between good and bad, it seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact it is already on the edge of the abyss." ”

Zhou Wen said solemnly: "How do you say it? ”

"What kind of place is Nantai County, I don't need to say more, a national-level poor county, poor mountains and bad waters, shrews and people, since ancient times, Diao Min is a pair of twin brothers, Nantai's cadres, group, good at drilling camps, our Jiangbei City officialdom has been controlled by the Nantai Gang for a long time, you have worked in the municipal government, this must be clear."

Zhou Wen nodded yes.

"Most of the cadres in Nantai are natives, and the relationship is intertwined, and it is difficult for outsiders to break into this small circle, and you, as an airborne cadre with no foundation, even the secretary of the Tourism Bureau and Township Party Committee, how long have you been in Nantai County, you are an unripe raw melon and egg as the county magistrate, what do the eleven deputy county magistrates think? I tell you, they have devoured your heart alive! ”

As he spoke, the old man put his chopsticks heavily to show the seriousness of this matter, and Zhou Wen said yes again and again.

The son-in-law's humble attitude made the old man very satisfied, and he still had to listen to my lesson when he became the county magistrate, so he took a sip of wine and greeted Zhou Wen: "You drink it too." ”

Zhou Wen picked up the cup and drank with his father-in-law, then filled the wine and asked, "Dad, what should I do now?" ”

"Don't panic, listen to me slowly." The old man sandwiched a fried stinky dry and ate it, and praised: "Old woman, today's stinky dry fried is good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, good!" ”

The wife and Liu Xiaojing were afraid of disturbing the conversation between the two of them, so they got some rice in the kitchen and ate it mixed with vegetables, and when they heard the old man's praise, Liu Xiaojing and her mother pursed her lips and smiled: "Dead old man, look at your appearance." ”

The old man continued: "We have to look at the problem dialectically, although the Nantai Gang is powerful, but it is declining, Li Zhi'an, the former secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, is the leader of the Nantai Gang, and is now being investigated by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhang Kejie, the former secretary of the county party committee, the general of the Nantai Gang, was sentenced to ten years in prison by the Provincial High Court, Tang Chu'an, the former Nantai County Magistrate, the rising star of the Nantai Gang, is now under judicial investigation, and the downfall of these people indicates the fall of the Nantai Gang. ”

Zhou Wen said admiringly: "Dad, your news is really well-informed. ”

The old man waved his hand: "These are all on the news, you can know if you pay attention to it, the important thing is to analyze the truth behind these superficial news, I think that the anger of the Nantai Gang has arrived, and there are people in the province who want to deal with them." ”

Zhou Wen said: "It makes sense, many of the eleven deputy county magistrates are experienced and in the prime of life, but the province has appointed me to be the county magistrate, just to move them." ”

The old man shook his head: "There's nothing to do with it, a few key people go down, the rest of the little minions, the province won't look at you and help you get on the throne, it's all because of the provincial party secretary's appreciation of you, but this just puts you in a dangerous situation, from the moment you become the county magistrate, you are the public enemy of everyone in the Nantai Gang, you don't expect the provincial party secretary to protect you, the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, a young cadre like you, the province doesn't know how much, if something really happens, Secretary Zheng will only feel that you are not yet a comrade." ”

Zhou Wen frowned and said, "Then what should I do, what can I do?" ”

"Taoguang is obscure, make a difference!" The old man said eight words categorically.

"You are too young, suddenly ascended to a big position, I don't know how many people are jealous, openly and secretly stumbling on you, your every word and deed, every move, there are people staring, you and which female cadre says a few more words, someone will make up black materials to send to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, they know that you are honest, so they will start from the issue of style, after all, young, young and promising political stars, there will naturally be women to give them embrace, so you must pay attention to self-discipline, to tremble, like walking on thin ice."

"Dad, I made a note of it." Zhou Wen said solemnly.

The old man nodded, and called his daughter over again: "Jingjing, Dad has something to say to you." ”

Liu Xiaojing came out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Dad, you have to teach me a lesson too." ”

"Be serious, what I say now is related to Zhou Wen's political life and the future of your family, and you must remember every word I say!"

Seeing that her father was so solemn, Liu Xiaojing had no choice but to become serious: "Dad, I'll listen." ”

"After Zhou Wen became the county magistrate, you are the county magistrate's wife, don't be crazy and stupid like before when you talk and do things, everything must be decent, the family ushers in the send, pay attention to proportion, grasp the scale, what should be received should not be collected, what should be seen should not be seen, there must be a spectrum, the most critical point, the heart must be determined, let me ask you, if one day you receive a phone call, saying that Zhou Wen is engaging in women outside, what will you do?"

Liu Xiaojing's willow eyebrows were raised: "I'll go to the county government immediately to find Zhou Wen to understand!" ”

The old man slapped the table: "Is it a scheme, this is the most common one in the political struggle, the bottom of the kettle draws salary, you don't trust him as a wife, and let the masses trust him, anonymous letters, anonymous phone calls, are all the enemy's conspiracy, spend eight cents, let you check for half a year, the cost is low and the effect is fast, the masses like this kind of gossip chasing after the wind and shadows, so you must remember quietly, don't fall for the enemy." ”

Liu Xiaojing muttered: "What enemy is not an enemy, and it is not a war." ”

"Childish!" The old man slapped the table: "The political struggle is more cruel and cold-blooded than the real battlefield, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed, Zhou Wen is only thirty years old, and there is still a long way to go, what you have to do now is to protect yourself in order to develop." ”

"What do you mean by that...... Hibernate for a while? Zhou Wen asked tentatively.

"Didn't I say it, Taoguang Yanghui, starting tomorrow, all your actions should be low-key, and then low-key, don't offend anyone, be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, as long as you have no fault, it is meritorious, of course, if there is a coincidence, you can also let go of the right opportunity, this is called making a difference."

"Dad, I see." Zhou Wen nodded and said.

"That's roughly what it means, the eleven deputy county magistrates of your county government, you introduce them to me one by one, and I will help you analyze and analyze."

So Zhou Wen explained the current political pattern of Nantai County to the old father-in-law, and the old man used his years of experience in political struggle to help him make a detailed analysis, which can be wooed, which can be borrowed, and which one must be resolutely suppressed......

Unconsciously chatted late at night, a bottle of wine was drunk, the old man was still in good spirits, Zhou Wen looked at the wall clock on the wall but was anxious: "It's broken, the long-distance bus back is gone, I will wait at the township party committee early tomorrow morning." ”

The old father-in-law said, "It's okay, let your brother drive you back." "The Chery A3 that Zhou Wen bought before, since he became an assistant to the county magistrate, has been driving it for his brother-in-law, and now it is reasonable to let his brother-in-law drive a night train.

So Liu Xiaojing called her younger brother, put down the phone after a few sounds, and said, "Xiaoxiao said that the car crashed and is still overhauling in the repair shop." ”

The old father-in-law scolded angrily: "This unsuccessful guy! ”

"It's okay, I'll take a taxi back." Zhou Wen said.

"How can it work, Dahe Township is so far away, this trip can't be hundreds of round-trips." Liu Xiaojing immediately raised objections.

"So what do you say?" Zhou Wen asked rhetorically.

"Let Liu Ziguang arrange a car to send you, he has a big business now, and he has 100 people under his hands." Liu Xiaojing said.

"It's ten o'clock at night, I'm embarrassed to trouble people."

"What's so embarrassing, you became the county magistrate, he didn't have time to scold you, if you don't fight, I'll fight." As she spoke, Liu Xiaojing picked up the phone.

After a call, Liu Xiaojing put down the phone and said proudly: "The car will come soon." ”

"Look at you, the official's wife has learned to support people before she becomes a messenger, so the impact is very bad."

"Hmph, you learned to play an official tone when you became a county magistrate, and it doesn't have a good impact."

The two of them were happily talking about each other, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law over there had already put on their coats and were ready to leave.

"Zhou Wen, you have to keep my words in mind and never forget them." The old father-in-law burped and patted his son-in-law on the shoulder.

"Dad, I remember." The two sent the old man and the old lady downstairs, looking at their distant backs, Zhou Wen sighed and said, "The road to officialdom is sinister." ”

Suddenly, two dazzling pillars of light came over, and the headlights were in a very high position, Zhou Wenzheng wondered why the truck had entered the community, and saw the car stop in front of him, and the tall and mighty body seemed to have been seen in the movie, and he exclaimed: "Hummer!" ”

The car door opened, Liu Ziguang got out of the car and said with a smile: "I'll personally send Zhou County Commander to take office." ”
