When Xiang Tianliang stood at the gate of the compound of the Binhai County Party Committee, the first feeling in his heart was that he was unfamiliar with life.

It's unbelievable that this is the first time he's here, even though he's been studying here for three years.

The topography of Chengguan Town is two mountains and one river, there are many ravines in Nanshan, the county party committee compound is located in one of the ravines, two kilometers away from the town, a cement road built along the ravine, connecting the county party committee compound and the town.

The compound of the county party committee is also the compound of the county government, which is not as good as the economically developed areas, and Binhai County, as a poor county, is not qualified to build a new office building.

At a glance, you can know that it is the mansion left by the landlord's old wealth, the stone wall is more than three meters high, antique, the small turret every 100 meters is still there, the style is extraordinary, on the square in front of the compound, hundreds of eucalyptus trees and palm trees, are some decades or even hundreds of years old trees.

The compound of the county party committee is not built on a mountain, but on a stone hill surrounded by a ravine, surrounded by ravines on all sides, and the ditch is deep and the wall is high, which is in line with the needs of its old owner to prevent pirates.

What is also unbelievable is that the door of the county party committee compound is open to the west, while all the houses in the county party committee compound are built facing north.

At the entrance of the compound, there is still an old-fashioned communication room, and there are still retired workers in work clothes, not one but two, and the principle is very strong.

It's not a car in the compound of the county party committee, you can't enter the compound, the two old men are iron-faced and selfless, and there is no room for accommodation.

Of course, Xiang Tianliang will not worry about the two old men, the size is also a leader, the leader has to be factional, and the leader's stomach can support the boat.

Holding the briefcase, Xiang Tianliang walked into the compound of the county party committee.

It's quiet, it's nine o'clock in the morning, and it's a busy time in the office.

The three-story old-fashioned building, according to the schematic diagram, the office building of Zhang Heng, secretary of the county party committee, is in the easternmost room on the third floor of the county party committee office building.

Xiang Tianliang walked in the corridor on the third floor while "reviewing" in his mind, reviewing his understanding of the leaders of the county party committee.

Zhang Heng, 51 years old, ancestral home in Zhongyang City, Dongjiang Province, graduated from Dongjiang Normal University in 1965, assigned to Binhai County Middle School, stayed for 13 years, in March 1978, in Binhai County Middle School vice principal, was exceptionally promoted to deputy director of the county education bureau, a year later promoted to director, in 1982 as the deputy county magistrate of the county people's government, in 1985 promoted to the county party committee standing committee and executive deputy county magistrate, in 1987 as the acting county magistrate, in 1988 as the deputy secretary of the county party committee, county magistrate, in 1990, as the secretary of the county party committee and county ** Chairman of the Standing Committee.

This is a summary of Zhang Heng's experience, he is not a native of Binhai, but he started a family in Binhai, stayed for nearly 30 years, first taught and then entered politics, and became the top leader of Binhai County.

Xiang Tianliang followed Zhang Heng's secretary and walked into Zhang Heng's office.

"Secretary Zhang, Comrade Xiang Tianliang is here." The secretary said.

Xiang Tianliang took two steps forward, "Secretary Zhang, hello." ”

Zhang Heng raised his head and smiled slightly, he did not accept the documents handed by the secretary, but waved his hand and motioned for the secretary to put down the documents and leave.

Then, he stood up, left his desk, walked over to Xiang Tianliang, and looked at it for a few seconds before extending his right hand.

Xiang Tianliang was also looking at Zhang Heng, but his look was not as direct as Zhang Heng's.

is still the same as in his memory, Zhang Heng is not tall, thin and energetic, his hair is thin and neat, his myopic glasses, his scholarly spirit, and in his heart to the sky, a sense of intimacy arises spontaneously.

"Xiang Tianliang, 24 years old, a native of Liangshanling Village, Jinchuan Town, the first college student of the Xiang family, graduated from Binhai County Middle School in 1988, graduated from Beijing Police University in 1992, and served as the director of the Political Research Office of the Qinghe City Construction Bureau before being transferred to Binhai County......

"Secretary Zhang, you, do you know me?"

Sitting on the sofa, Zhang Heng continued to smile and said: "You came to Chengguan Town three days ago, and on the way to come, you encountered a smuggling gang, and you commanded the county public security bureau to fight a beautiful battle and confiscated cigarettes worth more than 6 million yuan......

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "Secretary Zhang, I am not a conductor, but an assistant." ”

Zhang Heng waved his hand, "Don't be modest, in one fell swoop, you will increase the county finance by 5 million yuan, which is the largest one-time financial revenue in Binhai County since records began. ”

"Really, Secretary Zhang, the county public security bureau has already made arrangements, and I'm just taking the sheep by the hand."

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "I don't need to be sent by the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and I come to take office alone, which is unique." ”

"Secretary Zhang, I'm just ......"

"A little reluctant to leave Qinghe, right?" Zhang Heng asked with a smile.

"Huh...... A little bit. Xiang Tianliang laughed embarrassedly.

Zhang Heng nodded, "At work, what do you think?" ”

"Secretary Zhang, I obey the leader's arrangement." Xiang Tianliang replied quickly.

It is the art of speaking to persuade from the leader, but not from the organization, especially in front of the main leader, when meeting alone.

Zhang Heng groaned.

"The morning is the regular meeting of the county standing committee, which was supposed to start at half past nine, but because of your arrival, the meeting was postponed to half past ten, and the meeting will discuss and decide on your work arrangements, so let's go to the organization department to go through the formalities first, and then report to the county magistrate Chen."

"Xiexie Secretary Zhang." Xiang Tianliang got up and said goodbye.

There is no enthusiasm as imagined, this is Xiang Tianliang's personal feeling after meeting Zhang Heng.

In general, it is lukewarm, cold inside and hot outside.

Zhang Heng is an intellectual, is this the inherent subtlety and reserve of scholars.

It's a bit weird.

The organizations were all routine, the ministers were not there, they all went to the city for meetings, and there was nothing to talk about with others, which saved Xiang Tianliang a lot of words.

Cold, cold, this is the general feeling that Xiang Tianliang got in the county party committee building.

There is a government building, but there is a tense atmosphere.

Xiang Tianliang is good at feeling and experiencing, and the surrounding environment can't escape his eyes.

County magistrate Chen Letian, forty-nine years old, a native of Nanhe County, Qinghe City, was born in the military, transferred to the main battalion level 12 years ago, and later the rules are somewhat similar to Zhang Heng, first served as the director of the county fishery bureau, then served as the deputy county magistrate, and then became the executive deputy county magistrate until the current county magistrate, but he lagged behind Zhang Heng all the way, which can be said to be stepping on Zhang Heng's heels.

Tall and heroic, Chen Letian's body faintly reveals the temperament of a soldier.

"Comrade Xiang Tianliang, welcome, welcome."

"County Magistrate Chen, report to you."

Chen Letian was much more enthusiastic than Zhang Heng, shaking his hand, the strength in his hand was more sufficient, and the time was longer.

Handshaking is the most common etiquette, but Xiang Tianliang can judge the different personalities of Zhang Heng and Chen Letian by virtue of this action.

Zhang Heng is restrained and steady, and Chen Letian is straightforward and exposed, with sharp contrast.

One is like water, the other is like fire, and water and fire are incompatible.

I heard that Zhang Heng and Chen Letian have deep contradictions, is it just a conflict of personalities?

Politics has always been a complicated game, whether it is a conflict of personalities or not a conflict of personalities, the real root cause is a conflict of interests.

Interests come first, power is only a tool, and conflict is only a manifestation.

Chen Letian looked at Xiang Tianliang and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiang Tianliang, I am looking forward to you." ”

"County Magistrate Chen, xiexie, you can call me Xiao Xiang in the future."

Chen Letian smiled and nodded, "Xiao Xiang, Li Chunnan is your brother-in-law, right?" ”

"Yes, County Magistrate Chen knows my brother-in-law?"

"Of course, we all came down from the front line in southern Xinjiang."

"Oh."

Xiang Tianliang said in his heart, I have to ask my brother-in-law about this, it won't be a comrade-in-arms, right?

"Of course, your brother-in-law is a first-line soldier, and I am a second-line soldier, but unfortunately, I have never been on the battlefield." Chen Letian was a little emotional.

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "It's a pity for me, I don't even have the opportunity to be a soldier." ”

"However, you have been on the battlefield, and you are better than me." Chen Letian said with a smile, he was referring to Xiang Tianliang's several life-and-death adventures in Qinghe.

"Hehe, that's not enough." Xiang Tianliang smiled modestly.

Nodding, Chen Letian asked again: "Xiao Xiang, what do you think about your work arrangement?" ”

"County Magistrate Chen, I obey the leader's arrangement."

Chen Letian smiled: "No, no, no, I want to hear your thoughts." ”

"Really, I haven't thought about it myself." Xiang Tianliang also smiled.

"That is, any of them?"

"Yes, so to speak."

"Okay."

Chen Letian stood up, paced a few steps around the office, and picked up the phone.

After a while, there was a young man in the office.

In his twenties, he has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he looks quite smart.

"Li Hanqun, this is Comrade Xiang Tianliang, the new assistant to the county magistrate, and you will be responsible for following Comrade Xiang Tianliang in the future."

"Yes." Li Hanqun nodded, turned around and looked at Xiang Tianliang, "Assistant Xiang, hello." ”

Xiang Tianliang held Li Hanqun's hand and said, "Comrade Hanqun, I will trouble you a lot in the future." ”

Chen Letian said to Xiang Tianliang again: "Comrade Tianliang, this is Li Hanqun, the secretary of the county office, what do you think?" ”

"Xiexie, so let's go first?" Xiang Tianliang got up and said goodbye.

This is a bit unconventional, the assistant to the county magistrate does not have a full-time secretary, in the specific work, the county government office will have a special person to cooperate, but usually this person is selected by the assistant to the county magistrate, not by the leader.

Chen Lotian sent Li Hanqun to cooperate with his work, what does this mean?

He wants to monitor himself? Xiang Tianliang said in his heart, this is too direct.

At this time, Chen Letian looked at his watch, smiled and nodded, "In an hour, at the Standing Committee of the county party committee, there will be a decision on your work assignment." ”

"Then I'll wait."

Xiang Tianliang's office is on the second floor of the government building, while the offices of the county magistrate and deputy county magistrate are on the third floor.

Li Hanqun didn't come in, because it was Xiang Tianliang who sent him away.

He wanted to be alone.

The atmosphere in the compound of the county party committee is too weird.

Nervous here, cold there, and gloomy, what's wrong?

Something must be happening, or something is going to happen.

Xiang Tianliang picked up the phone and dialed Shao Sanhe, executive deputy director of the county public security bureau.
