"Comrades, there have been a lot of things in Shannan City recently, and there have been corruption cases that have shocked the whole province, but I believe that the vast majority of comrades here can stand the test...... Shannan City has made tremendous achievements in the past two years, which is obvious to all, and this is the result of the joint efforts of all comrades present here ......."

"I would like to share with you about the way of being an official...... When everyone in the world regards desire as an ideal, sophistication as maturity, cowardice as stability, and slippery as wisdom, it can only be said that the bottom line of this society has been broken, so I want to say that bravery is not reckless, persistence is not extreme, truth-seeking is not ignorance, and passion is not naïve...... In the face of corruption, we should not be wise enough to protect ourselves, but should stand up bravely and fight against it! ……”。

"Maybe we will be retaliated against for it, and even treated unfairly for it, but as long as we have a clear conscience, these are nothing...... I was watching "Churchill's Biography" yesterday, and there was a little story in it that touched me a lot. ”

"At an international conference at the end of World War II, Stalin mocked Churchill, who had already lost the domestic election: 'Mr. Churchill, you won the war, but the people deposed you, look at me, who dares to remove me!' Churchill calmly replied: 'I am fighting to defend the people and have the right to remove me. As a party cadre, he should have a broader mind than Churchill, and compared with the development and progress of the party and the country, it is not a ...... for individuals to suffer some grievances and suffering."

"Shannan is not a certain person's Shannan, but the Shannan of all Shannan people, although I am not a Shannan person, but I also have a deep affection for Shannan, Shannan is my second hometown...... Shannan is in a good period of rapid development, I think none of the comrades here want Shannan to be regarded as a poor and backward city by the outside world forever, how to ensure the stable and sustainable development of Shannan, I can only ask everyone here to ......", after speaking, Duan Zetao stood up and bowed deeply to everyone in the audience!

The audience was silent, everyone was deeply moved and shocked by Duan Zetao's speech, and after a long time, thunderous applause suddenly broke out in the auditorium, which came from the bottom of his heart and resounded in the sky!

Duan Zetao strode out of the auditorium under the eyes of everyone's respectful eyes, returned to his office, and as soon as he entered the door, his group of henchmen, Zhang Xinxian, Liang Wancai, Liu Shuangxi, Xie Yuanchao and others chased after him, and said angrily: "Boss, I heard that the top is going to suspend you, why?!" This is too, no matter what, boss, where you go, we will go with you ......."

Seeing that his henchmen were so loyal, Duan Zetao was also quite moved in his heart, but he deliberately reprimanded with a straight face: "Nonsense! Didn't you listen to what I just said at the meeting?! You are not my appendage of Duan Zetao, but a cadre cultivated by the party, don't you just let others accuse me of forming a gang and forming a small group?! ……”。

He slowed down his tone and said: "You are all the backbone of Shannan's development and construction, Shannan needs you, give me a good job, you do a good job, I also have a bright face, if something goes wrong, I will be the first to criticize you!" ......", so to talk about it, he finally persuaded this group of old subordinates who were angry with him to leave.

Zhang Xinxian and they just left, Xie Jianxing came again, Xie Jianxing has changed a lot in the past year, no longer the same as in the past, when he saw everyone with a straight face, as if everyone owed him money, with a smile on his face, he was also doing things in a hurry, vigorous and resolute, as Duan Zetao's right-hand man, it can be said that he is very competent, Duan Zetao is also ready to recommend him to take over as mayor after leaving Shannan, and he can leave with confidence if he hands over the work to Xie Jianxing.

And Xie Jianxing is now so respectful of Duan Zetao that he can't do it, if he fell to Duan Zetao's side at the beginning, just wanted to take advantage of this, but now he is really impressed by Duan Zetao's wisdom and selfless, indomitable personality charm, and over the past year or so, he has also learned a lot from Duan Zetao, and regards Duan Zetao as his mentor and friend, so when he learned the news that Duan Zetao was transferred, he was also very upset for Duan Zetao.

As soon as Xie Jianxing came in, he sat on the sofa, craned his neck, and said angrily: "Mayor Zetao, I really can't figure out why people who are down-to-earth and practical should be punished, those who like to command blindly when they have nothing to do, but those who make trouble are safe, this is too unfair!" ......", Xie Jianxing's later words refer to Yuan Chen, he thinks that Duan Zetao's punishment must be Yuan Chen's bad, so he also has a stomach for Yuan Chen.

Duan Zetao stood up, walked to Xie Jianxing and sat down, and said with a smile: "Mayor Jianxing, you came just in time, I was about to look for you, I believe you have heard the news of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and the city government will hand over the stall to you in the future, and I will also suggest to the organization that you take over as mayor, of course, I don't dare to pack a ticket if it can be done, but it can be regarded as I fulfilled my promise to you, you had better go to the event ......."

Xie Jianxing's neck stiffened, and he still said angrily: "I can't be the mayor of this city, who else is more suitable to be the mayor of Shannan City than you?!" Without you, there would be no Shannan ...... today."

Duan Zetao patted Xie Jianxing on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Jianxing, you are also a leading cadre at the department level, why are you still in the same mood as a child, you are unhappy for me, I am very sorry for you, but we should focus on the overall situation, compared with the overall development of Shannan City, what is it if I am personally wronged......

Xie Jianxing just wanted to speak, but Duan Zetao waved his hand and said: "After you listen to me, Secretary Yuan is actually very easy to get along with, if you want to work with him in the future, you should respect him more, the secretary is in charge of personnel and grasps the overall situation, the mayor is in charge of the economy, and each performs his duties, I believe you will be able to cooperate with the good ......."

Duan Zetao said bitterly for a long time, but Xie Jianxing remained silent, and suddenly he stood up suddenly, as if he had made some major decision, and said resolutely: "Mayor Duan, you can't go, Shannan can't live without you, it's a big deal I'll beg that person, you wait, I'll find him to ......", and left in a hurry without explaining to Duan Zetao.

Duan Zetao was confused by Xie Jianxing's brainless words, he had long noticed that Xie Jianxing seemed to have a secret, but Xie Jianxing didn't say it, and he couldn't ask, who was the person Xie Jianxing was talking about? He looked at Xie Jianxing's distant back, shook his head, and began to pack his personal belongings on the desk, preparing to leave.

Xie Jianxing does have a secret buried in his heart that no one wants to say, he is actually an illegitimate child, his father is Xie Changlu, deputy secretary of the party and the masses in Jiangnan Province, Xie Changlu met his mother when he went to the countryside as a young man, his mother was a flower in the village at that time, Xie Changlu took the initiative to pursue his mother, and after a wild passion, his mother became pregnant.

But soon after, Xie Changlu was admitted to the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers, left his mother, never returned, and later married a female classmate of the university, who was the daughter of a provincial leader at that time.

Xie Changlu and Xie Jianxing's mother did not go through the marriage procedures, his mother gave birth to Xie Jianxing under heavy pressure and suffered a lot, Xie Jianxing was born an illegitimate child who could not see the light, so Xie Jianxing has always been reluctant to mention to others, he has a father who is a big official.

When Xie Jianxing was ten years old, Xie Changlu quietly sent someone to take their mother and son to the provincial capital and settle them, and he has always cared for Xie Jianxing.

But Xie Jianxing has always been reluctant to recognize this father, and has never even called Xie Changlu's father, he has always wanted to use his ability to prove that he can succeed without relying on anyone, and now for Duan Zetao, he decided to go to Xie Changlu, and wanted to ask him to speak for Duan Zetao, so that Duan Zetao could stay in Shannan and continue to be the mayor.

Xie Changlu was overjoyed when he received a call from Xie Jianxing, Xie Jianxing's refusal to admit him had always been his biggest regret, and he immediately pushed down the original arrangement to meet Xie Jianxing.

When Xie Jianxing saw Xie Changlu, he still looked cold, and explained his intention straight to the point, Xie Changlu frowned, and said suspiciously: "Does Duan Zetao know my relationship with you?" Did he tell you to find me?! You must have been taken advantage of by him......".

Xie Jianxing said excitedly: "Why do you always think of people as so despicable?!" Mayor Zetao doesn't know my relationship with you at all, he is a good mayor, he has been treated so unfairly and still thinks about the development of Shannan, and he also said that he wants to recommend me to be the mayor! ……”。

"Oh! Did he really say that?! Xie Changlu raised his eyebrows, nodded and said: "It seems that Duan Zetao is still very knowledgeable, not as arrogant and arrogant as said outside, if he can really recommend you, I will say hello to Minister Sun of the Organization Department, and you will be able to go further......."

Xie Jianxing waved his hand excitedly and said, "I don't want to be this mayor!" No one is more suitable to be the mayor of Shannan than Comrade Zetao, I really don't know what you leaders think, Mayor Zetao has made such a great contribution to Shannan, and he actually punished him! You should go and talk to Secretary Shi Liang and retract the decision to suspend Mayor Zetao! ……”。

Xie Changlu slapped the armrest of the sofa hard, and scolded angrily: "Confused! Does the decision of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee say that it can be withdrawn?! You don't care about these idle things, seize this opportunity well, and if you can cross the threshold of the main department, your future will be bright, Duan Zetao has offended so many members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, which shows that he is indeed not very mature politically, and on this basis, he is not suitable to be the mayor! ……”。

Xie Jianxing stood up abruptly and said angrily: "You always like to talk about politics, what is politics, and the support of the people is politics!" Why don't you go down and listen to the voices of the people, and the people of Shannan City don't give a thumbs up when they mention Mayor Zetao?! If he is not fit to be mayor, there will be no one who is fit to be mayor! ……”。
