Empty positions are still empty, and rumors are still spreading. Although Li Xiaohe also deliberately analyzed and made necessary inquiries, he did not find the source of the rumors. So he stopped worrying about himself, and did what he had to do, and the day was already mid-November.

This morning, Li Xiaohe finished breakfast and just returned to the house when his mobile phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID above, Li Xiaohe couldn't help but wonder why it was this number. After the bell rang four times, he hesitated to press the answer button: "Secretary Xue." ”

"Township Chief Li, the county magistrate wants to see you." The phone was Xue Yaohui's voice.

"See me? When? What do I need to prepare? Li Xiaohe asked rhetorically.

"Now you're going to the county. The county magistrate only said that he wanted to see you, but did not say that he would prepare anything. The other replied, "Strive to arrive before ten o'clock, and I will wait for you then." ”

"Try your best, I'll see if the driver has finished maintaining the car." Li Xiaohe found a possible reason for the delay, and then hung up the phone.

Qiao Cheng looking for me? Li Xiaohe was puzzled, and couldn't help but think of two weeks ago. On the 26th of last month, Qiao Chengcheng said that he was looking for himself, but he was temporarily canceled halfway, during which Du Yingcai was taken away from the county magistrate's office. How can I find myself today, what will it be, and is there any connection with the last attempted meeting? What the hell is he going to do?

After thinking for a while, but there was no result, Li Xiaohe remembered something, and hurriedly called Cheng Jianfeng and asked the other party to wait for him in the township.

Putting down the phone, Li Xiaohe analyzed for a while, but still did not find an accurate answer. But he knew that it was absolutely not good for Qiao Cheng to find himself, he must have enough psychological preparation, he must not fall into the trap of the other party, and he must also prevent the other party from nitpicking and grasping the handle. So he found a few papers and put them in his bag, put his notebook in them, and left the room.

Cheng Jianfeng was already waiting in the car, and after Li Xiaohe got into the car, he asked where he was going and started the car.

……

Along the way, he was thinking about the questions that Qiao Cheng might raise, and also gave some countermeasures. At nearly ten o'clock, the off-road vehicle drove into the county party and government compound and stopped under the government building.

Pushing the door and getting out of the car, Li Xiaohe walked towards the building.

In the process of entering the building, Li Xiaohe noticed that many people were hiding in the distance and pointing, which should be discussing recent rumors, or they may be arranging their own things. For these, Li Xiaohe doesn't take it seriously at all now, his mouth grows on others, he can't control it at all, and there is no need to care about it, as long as he doesn't accuse himself in person. Besides, since being relegated to the township for no reason, there are more serious white-eyed and sarcastic than this, what is this?

The people in the building were similar, although they didn't talk about themselves, but they all avoided early, obviously worried about meeting themselves, who were not welcome. This is just right, and the words of the province will also save everyone from embarrassment. Li Xiaohe thought very openly, and he walked generously, but those who dodged were obviously more sneaky.

came to the fifth floor, and just turned east, Xue Yaohui greeted him.

Since being reprimanded for deliberately making things difficult a year ago, Xue Yaohui has learned a lot, no matter how unpleasant the other party is in his heart, he is much more polite every time he meets or calls. This time was no exception, and when he came straight to Li Xiaohe, Xue Yaohui said respectfully: "Township Chief Li, please wait a while, I'll go and report to the county magistrate." ”

"Okay." Li Xiaohe responded.

Xue Yaohui immediately walked quickly and entered the county magistrate's office.

Soon, when Li Xiaohe came to the door, Xue Yaohui happened to come out of the house.

"The county magistrate is waiting, let's go in directly." Xue Yaohui gestured.

Li Xiaohe nodded, stepped forward and pushed open the door of the house, and walked in. Glancing at the person behind the desk who was bowing his head to write, Li Xiaohe closed the door and walked to the desk.

came to the table, the other party did not look up, Li Xiaohe stood there and waited. After about three or four minutes, before the other party could raise his head, Li Xiaohe said directly: "County magistrate, are you looking for me?" ”

Strictly speaking, this kind of practice is very rude to disturb the superiors. But Li Xiaohe understands that the other party just wants to deliberately hang himself, no matter whether he asks questions or not, he will never change his impression of himself.

It is estimated that this kid will not be willing to be dried, and sure enough, he is out now. So Qiao Cheng stopped pretending to be an elephant, put down the pencil in his hand, and raised his head: "It's me looking for you and I want to talk to you." ”

"Okay, you can say it." Li Xiaohe responded.

Qiao Chengdao: "You have been to Shuangsheng Township for so long, but you have not come to report your work once, so let's make a comprehensive report today." ”

After answering "yes", Li Xiaohe reported: "From going to Shuangsheng Township to serve as the head of the township, it has been a year since I went to today. In the past year or so, with the support of superior leaders and the close cooperation of colleagues, the Shuangsheng Township Government has mainly done ten important things, which I summarized as 'one chasing, two leading, three creating and four expanding'. A chase is to recover the defrauded money. Due to the selfish actions of the former leaders of the township government, the irresponsible introduction of projects, and the failure to fulfill their due responsibilities of supervision, more than 300 households in Hejiaying and Xiangyang villages were defrauded, and the amount of defrauded reached more than 3 million yuan, involving more than 1,000 people. After I took office, I worked with all the comrades in the township to recover all the money for the villagers in August this year, and also won compensation equivalent to three times the bank interest for the villagers. The second introduction is to introduce two major ......"

Listening to the other party's methodical narration, Qiao Cheng couldn't help but sigh secretly: This guy has really done a lot of work, and his ability to summarize and organize is also excellent, much better than Du Yingcai. It's just a pity that it's not all the way with me, and this kind of guy with strong ability is much more destructive.

Gather your mind and listen carefully. Only when the other party stopped talking, Qiao Cheng said: "In the past year, the work of Shuangsheng Township has been remarkable, which shows that the comrades have worked hard, and you, the township head, have performed their duties well, and it seems that the plan to let you go to the grassroots level to exercise is successful." If we continue to maintain this momentum, have the courage to open up and innovate, and persist, the work of the whole township will certainly be greatly improved. Persist in another one or two years, and make the work in the township to a higher level, and then you can return to the county and start higher. ”

What do you mean? This shouldn't come from Qiao Cheng's mouth, but like a caring old leader. How could he say that, he had such good intentions? Can he give himself that chance? After asking a lot of questions, Li Xiaohe locked the focus of the other party's speech - "Hold on for another one or two years".

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Qiao Cheng asked, "Xiao Li, what do you think?" ”

"I didn't think about it so much, I just wanted to do a good job, worthy of the party, worthy of the people, and worthy of my own work." Li Xiaohe threw out such a sentence.

Qiao Cheng shouted "good" repeatedly: "Okay, good, always thinking about work, this is the basic requirement for our party members and cadres, and it is also generally what should be done." But when it comes to specific operations, it is often difficult for many people to really do it, and there are examples of this around us. Not to mention the distance, take Du Yingcai and Jia Xianglan as examples. If they put all their minds to their work and are a little less selfish, they may not necessarily come to this point. People's hearts are insufficient, always too ambitious, if you think about things that shouldn't be yours, then can you not fall on your heels? ”

Li Xiaohe didn't answer, but asked, "What else is the county magistrate?" ”

"Oh, people should be self-aware, they should be aware of current affairs, and they should not think about their own things. You have to believe that as long as you do your job, you will get the harvest you want. Qiao Cheng had something to say.

At this time, Li Xiaohe had already heard some doorways. But he still didn't say anything, but continued to ask: "Is there anything else with the county magistrate?" If not, I won't bother. ”

After a pause, Qiao Cheng said "hehe": "Xiao Li, work hard, don't be too distracted." I think you should be at ease with the position of Shuangsheng Township now, and you should be at ease with the current work, it is not easy to have such a situation now, and don't think about other positions for the time being. The most important thing for you at the moment is to continue to precipitate and continue to make achievements, if you can make Shuangsheng Township a model for the whole county within three years, the idea of making you half a grade higher can be implemented. ”

"Half a block?" Li Xiaohe asked rhetorically.

"Yes, the foundation of the main department has risen by half a block." Qiao Cheng smiled, "The premise is that it is made into a model, within three years." Of course, even if you don't make a model, as long as the results in the second two years are not inferior to the first year, at least you can control a good unit in the county. If you still want to go back to the government, you can still arrange it. What do you think? Work with peace of mind and stop thinking unrealistically. ”

Li Xiaohe sighed slightly and said, "I have already stated just now that I just want to do a good job, and I have been working with peace of mind. As for the 'unrealistic' you mentioned, I don't understand what you mean, and I'm at a loss at all. ”

"Xiao Li, people can't stand without faith, and it's very important to keep promises. Especially young people, don't say one thing and do another, but be consistent in their hearts and mouths. Qiao Cheng deliberately accentuated the tone of certain words.

"County magistrate, I am a person with a consistent heart, and I don't say one thing and do another." Li Xiaohe replied very simply.

Qiao Cheng's face darkened, and his tone became cold: "At the moment, the position of director of the government office does not belong to you, and your position should be in Shuangsheng Township." ”

"County magistrate, I don't understand what you mean, I don't think about the director of the government office, what I want is to do a good job." Li Xiaohe said neither humble nor arrogant.

"Comrade Li Xiaohe, you must be consistent with your words and deeds, you must be self-aware, and those who know the times are heroes." Qiao Cheng's tone was already warning.

"Yes, people have to be self-aware, anyway, I think I've always been like this." Speaking of this, Li Xiaohe asked, "Does the county magistrate have any new content?" ”

Qiao Cheng's eyes slowly contracted, and then quickly enlarged, and his face was full of coldness.

"Is the county magistrate gone? Then I won't bother. After speaking, Li Xiaohe strode over.

Coming to the corridor, looking back at the door behind him, Li Xiaohe shook his head slowly, and said secretly in his heart: Do you also believe the rumors? What are you afraid of?

"Let man be self-aware." A voice came through the door.
