Looking at the calendar that was turned through page by page, Li Xiaohe was as anxious as if he was on fire. I made so many phone calls and contacted so many people, but I didn't get a positive response at once, and I didn't even have the slightest hope.

What to do? What to do? Every day when he opens his eyes, this question will automatically pop up in his mind, and Li Xiaohe has to rack his brains to think again. When you think about it, there is really no way to do it except in this way. But this theoretically feasible way has no way out in reality, and it has hit a wall again and again. Is this destined to be a dead end?

It's so fast, whether people like it or not, it's the last day of June.

Sitting behind the desk, Li Xiaohe flipped through the business card holder in his hand, and still repeated "what to do, what to do" in his mind. He's been sitting here since he went to work, and he's been flipping for more than an hour now.

"Tuk tuk", a hurried knock on the door sounded.

Closing the business card holder and looking at the direction of the door, Li Xiaohe said, "Come in." ”

"Bang", the door of the house opened, and a person entered the house in a hurry.

Seeing the other party's abnormal appearance, Li Xiaohe asked, "Director Zhou, what's wrong?" ”

"The county magistrate is here." Zhou Liang said anxiously.

Qiao Cheng is here? With a flash of thought in his mind, Li Xiaohe hurriedly said, "Then prepare to meet it." What time does it arrive? ”

"It's here. I also saw the county magistrate's special car enter the hospital, so I went out of the house, and I didn't get the news in advance. At that time, many township leaders arrived, and there was a shortage of you. I wanted to call to inform, but I didn't have time to call, I was already asked to arrange a conference room, and I still took the time to run over while the county magistrate went to the back room. Zhou Liang finished these words in one breath.

Li Xiaohe understood: Dong Dingfang deliberately threw himself away, which was probably Qiao Cheng's instructions.

"Township Chief, I have to go to the conference room, the meeting will start at half past nine." After Zhou Liang finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the house.

What is Qiao Cheng doing here? For what? What to prepare? A long list of questions were raised, and some hypotheses were given, but Li Xiaohe did not have any definite answers other than shaking his head. Qiao Chenglai's news is still what Zhou Liang just said, otherwise he would not know anything.

Whatever, since no one has informed the content of the preparations, let's go to the meeting, and it will definitely not work if you don't participate. Thinking like this, Li Xiaohe picked up the pen and notebook, got up and left his seat. When I looked up at my watch, it was already 9:25.

Out of the room, speeding up his pace, Li Xiaohe walked towards the conference room, and there was a hurried figure in front of him, and many people were trotting.

When Li Xiaohe walked into the conference room, there were already many people sitting in the room, and the rostrum was still empty. Looking at the three seats on the stage, he couldn't help but wonder: who else? Where is my location? Turning his head to look, he wanted to ask, but there was no Zhou Liang, but he found that two people were not present.

"Pedal pedal", there was a sound of footsteps, and at the same time there was the sound of talking.

Li Xiaohe looked back and saw a group of people walking here, and the county magistrate Qiao Cheng was in the center, flanked by Du Yingcai, Dong Dingfang, and the county magistrate's secretary.

Zhou Liang ran into the house first and said, "The county magistrate is here." At the same time, he stared at Li Xiaohe.

Receiving Zhou Liang's hint, Li Xiaohe woke up, hurriedly walked out of the house, and greeted him.

Seeing Qiao Cheng and the others getting closer and closer, Li Xiaohe said: "Welcome to the county magistrate to ......"

"Xiao Dong, yes, yes." Qiao Cheng raised his voice and interrupted Li Xiaohe.

"Thank you for the encouragement of the county magistrate, I will definitely remember the teachings and make persistent efforts." Dong Dingfang immediately expressed his determination.

While speaking, Qiao Cheng and his entourage had already passed by, as if there was no such person as Li Xiaohe.

Du Yingcai suddenly slowed down, turned his head, and glared at Li Xiaohe fiercely: "Hmph, it's long overdue, interrupting the leader, not teaching ......"

Looking at Du Yingcai's villain's face, Li Xiaohe really wanted to fight back, but the other party had already turned around to chase the county magistrate. Besides, in this case, I am not suitable to say those words.

"Wow", applause rang out.

Li Xiaohe realized that it was time to enter the house, so he quickened his pace and chased after him. When everyone stepped into the threshold, Li Xiaohe was able to catch up.

At this time, Qiao Cheng had already stepped onto the rostrum, and was waving to everyone standing and waiting in the audience, along with Du Yingcai and Dong Dingfang.

Li Xiaohe did not hesitate, and immediately walked to a vacant seat in the front row of the stage and stood over.

The three people on the stage sat down, and everyone in the audience also sat down.

Dong Dingfang sat down and got up again, with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "Comrades, the county magistrate came to Shuangsheng Township to inspect and guide the work in his busy schedule, let us all express our warm welcome and sincere thanks to the arrival of the county magistrate with warm applause!" ”

"Wow", another warm applause rang out.

Qiao Cheng bowed slightly, pressed down with his hands, and smiled: "Thank you, comrades, thank you, comrades!" ”

The applause stopped, and all eyes were focused on the rostrum.

Slowly looking around, Qiao Cheng said: "Comrades, this time I came to see everyone and check the work." After arriving in the township just now, I took a brief look and found many bright spots. Compared with three months ago, the party building work has made a great improvement, and the state of procrastination and malaise has disappeared, and then there is a positive and uplifting mental outlook. The ...... of the party"

Listening to Qiao Cheng's praise of the party building work, Li Xiaohe couldn't help but secretly slander himself: I have been in Shuangsheng Township for more than half a year, and I haven't seen you come to the township, how can I talk about three months ago? How can there be a comparison of party building work? It's clear that it's nonsense.

After becoming the county magistrate, Qiao Chengcheng never came to Shuangsheng Township, and the last time he arrived at this time, the township chief was still Du Yingcai, which was a year ago, and Qiao Cheng was only the executive deputy county magistrate at that time. People are aware of this fact, but the vast majority of people do not delve into whether the leader's words are true, but are more concerned about what the leader says and what the leader wants to express. Now people have heard that the leader wants to praise Dong Dingfang and vigorously praise Secretary Mazi, of course, he stepped on his predecessor Zhao Qiang.

"Kick", "kick", a slight but rapid footstep sound, everyone's eyes glanced out the window.

Seeing the two people coming in a hurry outside the hospital, Li Xiaohe sighed secretly, this sigh was not only for the two of them, but also for himself.

Because people's eyes shifted, Qiao Cheng had stopped speaking.

The footsteps stopped, and the door slowly pushed open a crack, and the two people outside the house stepped into the room gently.

"Who is this?" Qiao Cheng said in a deep voice.

"Qin Mingsheng."

"Zhang Quan."

The two of them entered the door and reported their names and surnames.

Qiao Cheng snorted and didn't say anything more.

Du Yingcai opened his mouth: "What's the matter with you two?" The government's top leader inspected the work, and you two were late and interrupted the county magistrate's speech for no reason. Who taught you what to do? Get out. ”

Qin Mingsheng and Zhang Quan didn't dare to make a stubble, and honestly withdrew from the house.

"Reflect on the outside." After scolding, Du Yingcai put on a smile on his face, turned his head and said softly, "County magistrate." ”

After clearing his throat, Qiao Cheng glanced at the audience again with a majestic gaze, and then said: "Comrade Dingfang, the work of the township party committee is indeed doing a good job, but from these two people, I still see some problems. You must perform your duties as party committee secretaries well, and you must be good at and dare to use your authority to supervise all cadres in the township. The county leaders inspected the work, and the deputy township head only arrived at this time, what kind of work style is this? You remember, you are the leader of Shuangsheng Township, and everyone in the township must be under your leadership, and no one is exempt. ”

"Yes, the county magistrate is right, my work is not in place, and I must actively improve." Dong Dingfang immediately expressed his position.

Qiao Cheng waved his hand: "Comrade Dingfang, don't rush to do a review. You have only been here for three months, and it is already very, very good that the work of the township party committee has improved in this way. Of course, the existing problems must also be faced, and even if they are left over from the past, they must be solved strongly. I would like to make a suggestion here, which is also a requirement: As the number one leader of the township party committee, you must work boldly and have the courage to attack unhealthy tendencies. Both I and the county government have your back. ”

"Thank you for the county magistrate's support and encouragement, I will resolutely carry out your instructions." Dong Dingfang looked grateful.

"Comrades, when it comes to unhealthy tendencies, I have to say a few more words. How well a unit does its work depends to a great extent on the quality of the atmosphere, which in turn often depends on the leaders of the unit. There are no subordinates who are not proactive, only a boss who is passive and slack, which may be inevitably biased, but it is very reasonable. Down to villages, towns, and ......" Qiao Cheng gushed endlessly, peddling his theory of "fighting crooked winds".

The doubts when he first received the news of the meeting were long gone, Li Xiaohe heard it clearly and saw it clearly, Qiao Chenglai's purpose was very clear, that is, to come specifically to support Dong and suppress Li, that is, to suppress himself.

In fact, when he learned that Qiao Cheng had arrived, and he had not received a notice in advance, Li Xiaohe had already thought of this. When he saw that Qin and Zhang were missing in the conference room, he was even more like a mirror in his heart, knowing that those two people had the same experience as himself. Now the two of them have been put on the hat of "crooked style", although they are very wronged, but it is not surprising, obviously this hat has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for the right opportunity to give it to the two. Qin and Zhang are this hat, so what is the big hat for themselves? Needless to say, it must be much bigger, but it will not be enough to stand up to the "counter-revolution", and I don't have that much energy. Knowing that this catastrophe could not be avoided, Li Xiaohe couldn't help but be cynical.

"Well, let them in." After Qiao Cheng spoke, he suddenly changed his wording.

Du Yingcai nodded and said loudly: "Qin Mingsheng, Zhang Quan, come in." ”

Hearing this kind of tone that seemed to be called a prisoner, Li Xiaohe felt very uncomfortable, but he was helpless, he knew that the two of them felt even more uncomfortable.

The door of the house was gently pushed open, Zhang Quan was in front, Qin Mingsheng was behind, and stepped into the room through the threshold.

"Comrades Qin Mingsheng and Zhang Quan, is this usually the style of work? Didn't your boss teach you? Qiao Cheng's voice was kind and peaceful.

But people can hear that there are great traps in the seemingly calm sentences.

Li Xiaohe saw this, and couldn't help but look at the two subordinates with a complicated expression.
