After registering at the registration office of the training base, Xu Yanfeng received the study materials and the key to the assigned dormitory, and went to the dormitory on the second floor.

When he signed up just now, Xu Yanfeng had already looked at the roster. A total of 76 people participated in this training, compared to only 4 in Yanchang City. Most of these 76 people work in Nancang, the provincial capital, which shows that it is relatively easy for young cadres to be produced in the provincial capital.

The fact that the provincial party committee will directly train reserve cadres at the department level shows that it attaches great importance to this training.

Coming to his dormitory, Xu Yanfeng opened the door.

There are two beds in the room, one of which is occupied by a young man reading a book with glasses. Xu Yanfeng already knew who the person in the same room with him was on the roster just now.

"Director Xu, hello, hello, I'm Ma Zhiqiang."

Xu Yanfeng also smiled: "Township Chief Ma, fortunately, we will be roommates in the future." ”

Before Xu Yanfeng came, he knew who the four people from Yanchang City were, and it was easy to ask from the municipal party committee. This Ma Zhiqiang is one of the four people from Yanchang City, and his current position is the deputy secretary and deputy head of Lanlin County Changmi Township, and his rank is already at the department level.

I heard that this Ma Zhiqiang is a graduate student majoring in economics from a famous university in Beijing, and he has a very good set of theoretical knowledge about economics.

During his graduate studies, Ma Zhiqiang fell in love with another female classmate at school. That classmate is just a college student, and Ma Zhiqiang is the other party's senior.

After graduation, Ma Zhiqiang came to Lanlin County with the female classmate and got married. And the father of that female classmate is the deputy county magistrate of Lanlin County.

Ma Zhiqiang has a hard academic background, and after joining the work, according to the national policy, he is already at the level of deputy chief clerk. A year later, under the operation of his father-in-law, he became the deputy head of Changmi Township, and another year as deputy secretary, and last autumn the rank was also mentioned to the main department.

Until the provincial party committee officially issued the training, Ma Zhiqiang has been at the senior level for one year and three months, and his age is 29 years and 8 months. Just meet the requirements to participate in the training.

Xu Yanfeng had already figured out the situation of the four people in Yanchang before he came. Regarding the basic situation of Ma Zhiqiang, he naturally knows it.

However, Xu Yanfeng didn't know that although Ma Zhiqiang had a strong education and his wife's family background was good, this person was a little too honest. The tone is too heavy. So. Although relying on his father-in-law's care, he holds a lot of positions in Changmi Township, but he has little say in the township.

If you want to start working in the township, you must first have a relationship in the township. and village party secretaries, township business owners, and rural households to deal with the relationship; Secondly, you need to be able to drink, and a lot of work depends on drinking.

However, Ma Zhiqiang couldn't do anything, although he had goods in his stomach, no one listened to him. Others look at his father-in-law's face. When they saw him, they all called him Township Chief Ma and Secretary Ma, but many people behind him called him a horse nerd or a four-eyed horse.

After the two politely called each other, Ma Zhiqiang took the initiative to help Xu Yanfeng pack up his things.

This made Xu Yanfeng have a good impression of Ma Zhiqiang.

Cadres at the department level are very good at the county and township level. If a department-level cadre is polite to another, it is only verbal, and it is very rare to help Xu Yanfeng clean up his things and make bed sheets like Ma Zhiqiang.

However, it can also be seen that although Ma Zhiqiang has been working in the township for a long time, he has no bureaucratic atmosphere.

After doing all this, Ma Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Director Xu." I guess you're the youngest of our training class. ”

Xu Yanfeng smiled: "I always stay in the agency, rarely come out, and do some retreat work." He is young, but he has little work experience, which is not as experienced and pragmatic as a cadre at the grassroots level in the township like you. ”

Ma Zhiqiang shook his head: "It's not bad in the agency." It's not easy to do the work in the township right now. ”

When Xu Yanfeng saw Ma Zhiqiang's expression, he guessed that his work must be a lot of resistance. However, Xu Yanfeng and Ma Zhiqiang only met for the first time, and they had problems with his work. Xu Yanfeng is not easy to ask.

The two were talking, when suddenly the door was pushed open.

A young man about the same age as Ma Zhiqiang shouted, "Zhiqiang." There is a good thing, someone has a treat at night, Qin Tang Hall, let's go together. ”

After the man finished speaking, he also saw Xu Yanfeng, first showing a thoughtful expression, and then said: "It's Director Xu of the Yanhu Construction Headquarters Office, I'm Jia Bingjiang." ”

Xu Yanfeng had heard of this person and knew that he was also from Yanchang. I heard that he served as the deputy director of the office of the county party committee of Jinxiang County, Yanchang City. There are also some connections in the city at home. Jia Bingjiang's maternal grandfather was the deputy secretary of the prefectural party committee, and his father was also the secretary of the Jinxiang county party committee, but now retired.

As long as you can come to this kind of training course, you must have a background in your family. Otherwise, it would be impossible to serve as a regular department before the age of 30.

Like Xu Yanfeng, who has a poor family background, I'm afraid he is the only one. However, if it weren't for Yao Zhenliang and Wei Zhaoxing's support and promotion of Xu Yanfeng one after another, Xu Yanfeng would not be able to achieve the position of a senior department now.

Therefore, to summarize a point of view, that is, whether it is congenital or acquired, if you want to be promoted, no one above supports it.

And the innate is to rely on parents, relatives and friends, and the acquired is to rely on their own efforts. In fact, strictly speaking, Ma Zhiqiang also relied on his acquired efforts in exchange for his current status. If he didn't have a strong academic background and only relied on his father-in-law to operate, he might not be able to have the current level.

Jinxiang County and Lanlin County are two counties next to each other, and after the municipal party committee determined the training list for Yanchang City, Jia Bingjiang stopped going to work and went to Lanlin County to get together with Ma Zhiqiang several times.

Jia Bingjiang knows very well that those who can participate in this kind of training class will be paid attention to by the provincial party committee, and as long as there are no major accidents, they will be promoted to the deputy department level sooner or later.

These students around now are a very large resource. How can I have such an opportunity to meet so many future department-level cadres at once?

Therefore, Jia Bingjiang went to Ma Zhiqiang before the training to contact the relationship; After arriving here, I was also very active in building relationships with other students who participated in the training.

Jia Bingjiang's idea will be shared by everyone who participates in this training class. It's just that some people are subtle, and some people are fierce.

Ma Zhiqiang and Jia Bingjiang belong to these two extreme types, respectively.

And Xu Yanfeng naturally will not let go of this opportunity to make a relationship.

Relationships can be a booster for post-development development. Although these future department-level cadres will not play a decisive role in their future development, they will play a very important auxiliary role.

"Who's going to have a treat?" Ma Zhiqiang said with a smile.

"My former university alumnus, from Anmao City. I didn't expect that kid to also participate in this training class. Not only did we meet just now, but he insisted on inviting me to dinner and asking me to call a few friends. Hehe, I thought of you first. After Jia Bingjiang finished speaking, he said, "Director Xu, let's go together." That kid has money in his family, and he is not afraid of many people, but he is afraid that it will not be lively. ”

Ma Zhiqiang turned his head to look at Xu Yanfeng, obviously asking for Xu Yanfeng's opinion.

Ma Zhiqiang is too weak and does not have the courage to take charge of himself. The decision is also too bad. He had just shared a room with Xu Yanfeng. immediately took Xu Yanfeng's head as the horse.

If this kind of person follows a strong leader and becomes a deputy who assists in the work, then he may be able to assist the leader in doing the work. But if you go to do a full-time job, it won't take half a month. It will be all hollowed out by the deputies.

Jia Bingjiang and Ma Zhiqiang had contact a few times, and knew this person's xìng character, so he didn't ask him anymore, and looked directly at Xu Yanfeng.

Xu Yanfeng also wanted to have more contact with his classmates, so he said, "That's okay." Let's go together. It's not good for us to go empty-handed, I'll prepare cigarettes and alcohol. ”

Normal people will prepare cigarettes and alcohol outside when they go to the hotel for dinner, unless it is those stupid and rich masters who will ask for alcohol in the hotel.

"No, let that kid buy it." Jia Bingjiang said.

Xu Yanfeng was not the master of eating for nothing, and said with a smile: "That's embarrassing, I'll buy it." ”

Generally, this kind of dinner is organized, especially when people at a table are not often met, either the AA system, or the conditions are haode two people pay for a meal. A drink money.

Don't underestimate the cost of wine, sometimes ten people will spend about 1,000 on a meal. But if the people at the table can drink, the cost of wine alone will be hundreds or more. Of course, the premise is that the grade of the wine you buy cannot be too low.

Seeing this, Jia Bingjiang no longer insisted. smiled: "That's okay, buy some Yunhu Mountain from this province, don't be too haode, this time count the wine you bought on behalf of our Yanchang." I'll arrange another meal in a few days. Let them prepare the wine in the city of Anmao. ”

is a department-level cadre, and he doesn't care too much about the money for eating and drinking. I have the opportunity to get together with others of the same level. Naturally, it is necessary to seize the opportunity.

And eating and drinking is also a courtesy, this time you invite dinner, I bought wine, next time it will naturally be your turn to buy wine, I invite you to dinner.

After the three discussed, Ma Zhiqiang contacted another classmate who was also from Yanchang. Then Jia Bingjiang went to find the classmate in Anmao City, while Ma Zhiqiang accompanied Xu Yanfeng downstairs to buy cigarettes and alcohol.

The wine is a medium Yunhushan series, less than 300 yuan a bottle, and a total of one case was bought. Cigarettes are often smoked, but they are hard Chinese. The soft one is not that Xu Yanfeng can't afford it, but it will be too dazzling.

After buying it, seeing that the time was almost up, the two came to the Qin Tang Hall.

When they arrived at the room that Jia Bingjiang told them, Xu Yanfeng and Ma Zhiqiang walked in.

After entering, there were already eight people sitting at the table.

Two of them are Jia Bingjiang and Qi Haizeng from Yanchang City. The other six Xu Yanfeng didn't know each other.

When Jia Bingjiang saw Xu Yanfeng coming, he got up and introduced: "These two are Xu Yanfeng and Ma Zhiqiang, both of whom are from our Yanchang City. Then he pointed to the other six people on the table: "These six are all from Anmao City." ”

Through the introduction, Xu Yanfeng knew that the person sitting in the main seat was Jia Bingjiang's college classmate, Fang Shijie, who is now working in the Organization Department of the Anmao Municipal Party Committee.

After a few people got to know each other politely, Jia Bingjiang asked, "Shijie, when will the guest you invited arrive?" ”

Only then did Xu Yanfeng notice that there was still an empty position on Fang Shijie's right.

Fang Shijie smiled: "I have already contacted me just now, I am on the way, and I will come immediately." ”

Another classmate from Anmao City smiled and said: "Shijie, we will definitely give you a cheer tonight, so that you can have a good face to win this beauty from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee." ”

Fang Shijie said with a smile: "Thank you." ”

Jia Bingjiang didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?" ”
