To Xu Haodong's surprise, that night, Deputy Mayor Chen Xiujie came to the door, and he also brought his wife.

Chen Xiujie is a very interesting person, he rarely goes to the leader's house, he used to be like this, and now he is even more famous. In the past, some people wanted to deal with him, and they checked him all over the world, but he really had no problem, and in terms of clean government, Xu Haodong was at ease with him. Chen Xiujie's wife is the head nurse of the city's First People's Hospital, born in a scholarly family, is recognized as a lady, and has many opportunities for further study and promotion, but she took the initiative to give up and willingly became a nurse for nearly 20 years.

Xu Haodong was also received equally, and together with Xu Yunjie, he chatted with Chen Xiujie and his family for a while. Finally, before talking about business, Xu Haodong pointed to Chen Xiujie's wife and said to Xu Yunjie: "Xiaojie, didn't you say that you want to find a leader's wife to be your role model, the example is right in front of you, you have to study hard." ”

Xu Yunjie said briskly: "Okay, you talk, let's change places, and I will learn from the example." ”

The two women went to the bedroom hand in hand.

Xu Haodong smiled and said: "Xiujie, you see that I am fake, and it is true to speak for Li Jiguo, I am not wrong." ”

"Those who know me, Haodong, you too." Chen Xiujie also smiled and said, "However, I want to explain, I see that you are also true." ”

"Really look at me? What about gifts? Are there any people who are free to visit the sick? Xu Haodong asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Chen Xiujie was embarrassed, and slowly took out a small packet of cut American ginseng slices and put it in front of Xu Haodong, and the whole process turned out to be red-faced.

Xu Haodong laughed, "Xiujie, how does it feel to give a gift?" Tell me the truth, this is the first gift? ”

Chen Xiujie said with a smile: "The feeling of giving gifts is trembling, and I won't hide it from you, Haodong, this is the third time I have personally given gifts to others, the first time was to the old secretary Liu Zhengdao, and the second time was to visit Li Jiguo's father." My wife and I had a rule set more than ten years ago, and we would give this kind of American ginseng slices as gifts, all of which cost dozens of yuan, but this pack of American ginseng slices was a little more, sixty-eight yuan and seven cents. ”

"Then I'll take this gift from you." Xu Haodong said with a smile: "But not as an example, at the same time, I will also borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and tomorrow I will take your pack of American ginseng slices and make tea for the comrades at the meeting." ”

After laughing, Chen Xiujie said: "Haodong, you are still in the same word, knowing that I am here for Li Jiguo." To be honest, I didn't want to come, but I'm worried that there will be problems in the relationship between you and Li Jiguo, the first and second in command are like husband and wife, the family is not harmonious, and everything is difficult to prosper. ”

Xu Haodong smiled but did not speak.

The relationship between Chen Xiujie and Li Jiguo, Xu Haodong knows best, breaking bones and connecting tendons, it can be said that he has shared honor and disgrace for more than ten years. But Chen Xiujie is more rational and introverted, not as ambitious as Li Jiguo, if Li Jiguo is three steps and one step at a time, then Chen Xiujie is one step at a time. Xu Haodong is not worried about the relationship between Chen Xiujie and Li Jiguo, he is interested in how close the relationship between the two is, and he is wary of whether the two are too close.

Not allowing small groups in the team is not only an organizational principle, but also the top priority of the number one, this is the rule of the Game of Thrones, and Xu Haodong does not dare to forget.

Seeing that Xu Haodong didn't speak, Chen Xiujie accompanied him and asked carefully: "Haodong, did I say something wrong?" ”

"Oh, you're not wrong, you go on, keep talking."

"Haodong, don't get me wrong, I came to your house tonight, it was my own intention, and it has nothing to do with Li Jiguo."

Xu Haodong waved his hand, "Xiujie, you know Li Jiguo best, I want to ask, what is his biggest problem?" ”

Chen Xiujie paused for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Rigid and self-serving, the heart is higher than talent, emotional, and shallow. ”

Xu Haodong smiled.

"Haodong, what are you laughing at?"

"Let me ask you again, what will happen if Li Jiguo is the leader, or if he is allowed to be the mayor without restraint?"

"Hmm...... Empty-eyed, carried away, monopolistic, arbitrary. ”

"In terms of personal relations, you have the best relationship with him, do you think you can persuade him?"

This time it was Chen Xiujie's turn to smile, "Me? I persuaded him? How can I persuade him? ”

"The last question, if Li Jiguo is allowed to play at will, what will happen?"

Chen Xiujie said: "There is only one result, and we must make mistakes, and we must fight with each other." ”

Xu Haodong looked at Chen Xiujie with a smile and said: "Isn't this enough, for comrades like Li Jiguo, you have to beat it often, that is, the alarm bell rings for a long time." ”

Only then did Chen Xiujie understand, Xu Haodong went around in a big circle and returned to the starting point of the question, "Haodong, I'm almost persuaded by you." ”

"Xiujie, let me say a few words from my heart." Xu Haodong said: "You, me, and Li Jiguo, we all eat political meals, but we all have different characteristics. You are steady, go with the flow, I have nothing else, just luck. As for Li Jiguo, he is too deliberate, or too concerned about gains and losses, what he wants is to take a shortcut, but in fact, he can't take a shortcut. ”

Chen Xiujie nodded and said, "Haodong, your words have deeply educated me. ”

Xu Haodong smiled and said: "Since you are deeply educated, you have to take practical action." ”

Chen Xiujie sighed, "What instructions do you have?" ”

"Xiu Jie, tomorrow's meeting is mainly to discuss personnel issues. You know, I recommend Zhu Guoping, Secretary of the Party Committee of Dongning Town, to be the deputy mayor, and Gao Haifeng, Secretary of the Party Committee of Lingnan Town, to replace Yao Xingbin as the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government and Director of the Office of the Municipal Government. You have come at a good time, and I hope that at tomorrow's meeting, you will support my recommendation. ”

Chen Xiujie hesitated, "Haodong, Li Jiguo definitely wants to oppose it, and it is openly opposed." ”

Xu Haodong said: "However, I estimate that under certain circumstances, Li Jiguo will definitely not openly oppose it. ”

"Oh, which one is it?"

"You take a stand before him."

Chen Xiujie understood what Xu Haodong meant, he was Li Jiguo's "ally", and he could also be said to be the only hardcore "ally", as long as he preemptively expressed his support for Xu Haodong, Li Jiguo's defense line would be broken.

"Haodong, this is to let me get out."

Xu Haodong said with a smile: "Sometimes you have to be open-minded, the general secretary said, to be a person who understands politics, you Chen Xiujie is a person who understands." ”

"Okay, I'm out of the way." Chen Xiujie made up his mind, "Haodong, I obey your arrangement." ”

"Xiujie, thank you for your trust." Xu Haodong said: "I won't tell you anything, recommending Zhu Guoping and Gao Haifeng is not just for the sake of engaging in all corners of the world. There is a drawback in the two sets of teams in our city, that is, they are lifeless and lack of initiative, and finally a Liu Junru came out, but because I shot too hard, I was beaten back again. Therefore, my main purpose is to hope that the two sets of teams in our city can be active, and in this regard, I have confidence in Zhu Guoping and Gao Haifeng. ”

Chen Xiujie said: "I agree with this, the biggest advantage of Zhu Guoping and Gao Haifeng is that they think independently, Liu Junru can also think independently, if they can give full play to the initiative, the two sets of teams in our city can indeed be active." ”

Xu Haodong smiled and said, "There is one more you." ”

Chen Xiujie hurriedly shook his hand, "I can't, I can't." ”

"Haha...... Excessive modesty is equal to pride. ”

"Okay, I'll try, I'll try."

When Chen Xiujie was leaving, Xu Haodong asked with a smile: "Did I convince you?" ”

"Yes." Chen Xiujie gave an affirmative answer.

Xu Haodong was relieved, and at the same time he was looking forward to Chen Xiujie's "outstanding" performance at the enlarged meeting of the Municipal Standing Committee tomorrow.
