After realizing that he was facing a turning point in his fate, Wu Minggao couldn't suppress the ecstasy and excitement in his heart, and couldn't wait to ask Ye Ming: "Have you brought the materials for Beishan's pairing assistance activities?" If I bring it, I will first look at your practices and experiences, and then ask you or Xiao Feng to introduce them to me, so that I can know what to do, so that I can report to Minister Chang. ”

Feng Liliang hurriedly took out the report materials prepared in advance and handed them to Wu Minggao.

After Wu Minggao carefully read the materials, he listened to the reports of Feng Liliang and Ye Ming respectively, until he felt that he had a good idea and could report the situation to Minister Chang fluently, then he pursed his lips with satisfaction, stood up and said: "Xiao Ye, Xiao Feng, we will leave for the provincial capital immediately, I will invite you to dinner at noon, and then find a teahouse to rest for a while, and wait for Minister Chang to meet us." ”

Feng Liliang hesitated for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "Mayor Wu, can I report this matter to Minister Chen?" Two days ago, when Deputy Minister Xiao of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee went to Beishan for investigation and inspection, he was accompanied by Minister Chen, and now I want to follow you to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to report, if you don't report to him, it doesn't seem to be appropriate! ”

Wu Minggao groaned for a while, nodded and said, "You go to his office now and report, don't explain anything, just say that I arranged for you to go with you." ”

After Feng Liliang left, Wu Minggao looked at Ye Ming thoughtfully, and then asked in a consultative tone: "Xiao Ye, do you think I went to report to Minister Chang this time, do you want to report to Secretary Wei?" ”

Ye Ming shook his head and said, "I don't think it's necessary. Secretary Wei is the leader of the party committee, you are the leader of the government, each has its own division of labor and responsibilities, there is no need to report to him in everything. ”

Ye Ming's words were obviously a bit of a taste of sowing discord, but in Wu Minggao's ears, he didn't feel harsh about it, but felt that his words were very reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't report to Secretary Wei, and when Xiao Feng comes over, we will rush directly to the provincial capital." ”

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Ye Ming and Feng Liliang got into Wu Minggao's special car and rushed to the provincial capital together. When he was about to arrive at the exit of the provincial expressway, Wu Minggao's mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he saw the number, it was the confidential phone number of Wei Jiehe's office.

After seeing the caller ID clearly, Wu Minggao showed a sneer on his face, glanced at Ye Ming, who was sitting side by side with him, and put the phone in the middle of the seat without saying a word, letting it vibrate and chirp.

After the phone rang three times in succession, it finally stopped.

After another ten minutes, Wu Minggao picked up the mobile phone on the seat and dialed back the number of Wei Jiehe's office. When the phone was connected, he deliberately yawned and asked in a sleepy tone, "Secretary Wei, did you call me?" Sorry, I just fell asleep in the car and didn't hear the phone ring. ”

Wei Jiehe let out an "um" and asked, "Did you go to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee with Ye Ming and Feng Liliang from Beishan?" I heard Comrade Yaoxing say, you went to report to Minister Chang on the situation of Beishan's pairing and assistance work, what is going on? The pairing assistance activity is a party work, how can Minister Chang arrange for you to report to him? Is there a mistake? ”

Wu Minggao knew that Wei Jiehe would ask this question, so he replied without humility or arrogance: "Secretary Wei, you should ask Minister Chang this question, I am also a little puzzled!" However, I have carefully considered that although the pairing assistance activities are a part of the party's mass line education and practice activities, they are also closely related to the work of the government from the perspective of poverty alleviation and rural economic development. Perhaps Minister Chang's focus is not on the building of the party's grassroots organizations, but on the role that this activity plays in promoting and promoting poverty alleviation and the development of the rural economy, so let me, the mayor, report to him! ”

Wei Jiehe was silent for a moment, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Comrade Minggao, just now I listened to Comrade Yaoxing's report on the situation of Beishan County's 'village and household and pair assistance' activities, and I feel that this activity was carried out in a hurry, and there are many loopholes and deficiencies. Moreover, this activity has been carried out in many places for a long time, and it is not innovative and typical. Therefore, Comrade Yaoxing and I are of the opinion that this activity should not be carried out in Min'an City, nor should it be reported to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee as a typical example to be promoted, so as not to be ridiculed and generous. When you report to Minister Chang, you must emphasize this point and do not make our municipal party committee passive in the future. ”

As soon as Wu Minggao heard Wei Jiehe's words, the anger in his heart rose suddenly, and he almost scolded the microphone: Obviously, Wei Jiehe had sensed a hint of danger from Minister Chang's unusual "summons", and in order to prevent himself from being in the limelight and gaining political achievements in the pairing assistance activities in Min'an City, he discussed with Chen Yaoxing and simply denied this activity in Beishan, so as not to benefit from the activity......

After finally restraining the anger in his heart, Wu Minggao asked in a calm tone as much as possible: "Secretary Wei, why do you think that this activity in Beishan is not typical and not worth promoting?" As far as I know, a few days ago, when Vice Minister Xiao of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee visited Beishan for investigation and investigation, he spoke highly of and fully affirmed this activity, and said that many of Beishan's measures and experiences are worthy of promotion in the whole province. When Vice Minister Xiao inspected, Comrade Yaoxing accompanied him throughout the whole process, and he did not ask any questions to Vice Minister Xiao at that time, nor did he say that there were loopholes and deficiencies in this activity. ”

Wei Jiehe said a little annoyed: "What is there to question this? When accompanying Vice Minister Xiao on his inspection, Comrade Yaoxing naturally had to take into account the face of the Beishan County Party Committee, and even if he saw the problems and shortcomings, he would not point them out to Vice Minister Xiao in person. I also have to remind you that the activity of 'stationed in villages and households, paired assistance' is part of the party's mass line education and practice activities, and belongs to the scope of party affairs. Whether or not this work will be carried out in Min'an City will have to be decided by the municipal party committee, and it is not the turn of the city government to decide. ”

When Wu Minggao heard the last few words, his face turned blue with anger, and he swiped his finger on the screen of his mobile phone and hung up Wei Jiehe's phone......

After lunch, Wu Minggao, Ye Ming, and Feng Liliang found a teahouse near the compound of the provincial party committee, rested for more than two hours, and when it was almost three o'clock, Ye Ming dialed Chang Ying's phone, and after learning that he was waiting for them in the office, the three of them hurriedly entered the compound of the provincial party committee and found Chang Ying's office.

Chang Ying enthusiastically invited them to sit down on the sofa and instructed the secretary to make tea, and then he himself sat down on a chair opposite the sofa, chatted with them for a few words, and then asked Wu Minggao to report on the situation of Beishan County's "village entry and pair assistance" activity.

After listening to Wu Minggao's report, Chang Ying asked Ye Ming and Feng Liliang a lot of specific questions, and then said to Ye Ming and Feng Liliang: "Xiao Ye, Xiao Feng, please go and sit in the office next door, I still have something to discuss with Comrade Wu Minggao." ”
