During the meal, Zhu Huaijing talked about Director Han's letting Simao be the head of the maintenance team. Simao's eyes lit up when he heard this, his face turned red, and he became restrained. Zhu Huaijing asked him if he was sure that he would do a good job. Simao rubbed his hands and touched his feet for a while, and said, "No problem." I've been working under other people for so many years, and I've seen a lot. ”

Xiangmei always protected this cousin, saying: "His brothers are just four mao to high school, and they are also smart." I've seen so many Baotou, and I can't even issue an invoice well, but I make a lot of money. I think Simao has done a good job of this. ”

Zhu Huaijing said to Simao: "Well, this is an opportunity, you have to cherish it yourself." In the afternoon, you go to Director Han's office, and he wants to talk to you. You are generous, you are all fellow villagers in Wuxian, it doesn't matter. You go back, think about it at noon, and make mental preparations. ”

Simao took his leave. After lunch, the time was not early, Zhu Huaijing wanted to take a nap, but he couldn't sleep. The family sat on the couch and watched TV. There happened to be a cartoon that Kiki liked to watch, so I relied on him. The two of them gossiped. The heater was exaggerated red and turned sensationally, but the heat was not very important. The more Zhu Huaijing sits, the colder it gets, and the cold air all over his body is bursting with cold. **The compound talks about the level of everything, only the heating of the municipal cadres and the departmental and bureau-level cadre buildings is supplied 24 hours a day, and the department-level cadre buildings are only heated from 6 o'clock to 10 o'clock in the evening. Generally, the cadre building has to find a way to keep warm, whether you drill the quilt or the tripe, it is up to you. If you want to live comfortably, just climb up as hard as you can. Zhu Huaijing found that the room was deserted and lifeless. Look at Xiangmei again, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes are disordered and deep, and her face is very haggard. The son moved a small stool and sat on his mother's lap, watching TV intently. The son's face was slightly pale, and his hair seemed to be a little dry. Zhu Huaijing seemed to notice for the first time that his wife and children were like this, and there was a faint pain in his chest. He felt very guilty, thinking that the entertainment at the Longxing Hotel in the evening should be postponed for some reason.

In the next few days, Zhu Huaijing didn't have time to gather with Lei Fuchen and Yuqin. Yuqin sent a report on the expropriation of the land for the plastic factory. Zhu Huaijing looked at the report hastily. Longxing Hotel requested the expropriation of one acre of land, and the land acquisition fee was 6 million yuan.

In accordance with the regulations of the General Office, the report should be sent to the Second Secretariat and then sent to the relevant leaders in accordance with the working procedures. However, some people have an unusual relationship with the leader, and they are also directly submitted. Zhu Huaijing felt that he could speak in front of Mayor Pi, so he was ready to report directly to Mayor Pi.

The next morning, Zhu Huaijing heard that Mayor Pi happened to be in the office to review the documents, so he went. Fang Ming saw Zhu Huaijing, nodded and smiled. Zhu Huaijing tiptoed in and pointed inside with his fingers. Fang Mingyuan nodded and motioned for Mayor Pi to be inside. Zhu Huaijing let Fang Mingyuan browse the report and motioned to go in together. Fang Mingyuan knocked on the door, then pushed it open and said, "Mayor Pi, Huaijing has something to report to you." ”

Mayor Pi smiled: "Xiao Zhu, I haven't seen you for many days, you're very busy, right?" ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "Where, no matter how busy you are, how can the mayor be busy?" It is precisely because I see that you are too busy that I dare not disturb you. ”

Mayor Pi smiled again and said, "Don't you dare to disturb you, won't you come?" What's up? ”

Zhu Huaijing had already thought about it, and reported as concisely as possible about the Longxing Hotel's request to requisition the land of the plastic factory and expand the service facilities. After the oral report, hand in the report.

Mayor Pi immediately said: "It is a good thing to learn from the experience of other places and encourage particularly difficult industrial enterprises to sell their land and factories, 'retreat from two to three', and develop in other places, and I support it." The report will be put here, and I will talk to the relevant departments before talking. ”

Mayor Pi should not sit here for a long time, and after the matter was reported, Zhu Huaijing said goodbye. I thought that with Mayor Pi's attitude, I was afraid that it would not be a big problem. He returned to the office and immediately called Yuqin to tell him. Yuqin was naturally happy, and said that after the matter was completed, it would be rewarded. Zhu Huaijing laughed and asked if it was your hotel reward or your personal reward? Yuqin said that his stomach was full of bad water.

But there has been no follow-up since then. Zhu Huaijing is naturally not good and always asks questions, so he asked Fang Mingyuan to remind Mayor Pi. Fang Mingyuan asked once, but there was no news, and it was not good to ask a second time. Zhu Huaijing had no choice but to ask Fang Mingyuan to pay attention to the report and see how Mayor Pi signed it in the end.

Soon it will be the Spring Festival. The leaders were extremely busy, and it was a Spring Festival group meeting, a military and political forum, a condolence visit to the workers of enterprises in difficulty, and a visit to retired veteran comrades. Mr. Lei and Yuqin were very anxious, and they just wanted to start the project as soon as possible. Zhu Huaijing comforted them, they have been waiting for so many years, so they just waited for this Spring Festival.

After the Spring Festival, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Municipal People's Congress was officially opened. Everyone knows that it must be Pedeqiu who will be the mayor. But before that, there were still a lot of rumors from the outside world, some said that this would be the mayor, and some said that the other would be the mayor. Zhu Huaijing is the one who knows the inside story, but when others ask him who is the mayor, he just smiled and said that he was elected by ****. Others only treat him as a secret, or joking.

As a staff member of the conference, Zhu Huaijing participated in the activities of regional delegations. This happens to be his hometown. Zhang Tianqi is a city **** and also attended the meeting. The main tasks of the staff are to distribute the documents of the Congress, to record the statements made at the Assembly and to prepare and distribute the briefing notes of the meetings.

On the first day of the deputy's registration, Zhu Huaijing went to visit Zhang Tianqi. The two said some polite words, and Zhu Huaijing felt that he should go to see Wu Zhiren and Ge Jianyuan. Wu is the secretary of the prefectural party committee and the head of this delegation. Ge Jianyuan is the commissioner of the Zo Agency. Zhang Tianqi understood and said, "You go, they are all old leaders, you should go and see." Let's do whatever you want, come and sit when you have time. ”

Zhu Huaijing knocked on the door and went in, Wu Zhiren and Ge Jianyuan happened to be there, and the two stood up and shook hands with him. Zhu Huaijing and Wu Ge did not have a deep relationship, so what they said was all about the scene. The three of them were politely talking when there was a knock on the door. Ge Jianyuan hurriedly opened the door. It was Mayor Pidai and his secretary Fang Mingyuan who came in. Mayor Pi was very enthusiastic and said, "The two of you have worked the road. Oh, Xiao Zhu is there too? "Shake hands one by one. Everyone hurriedly invited Mayor Pi to sit down.

"Is it okay to walk on the road?" Mayor Pi asked with concern.

Wu replied, "It's good to go, it's good to go." In recent years, the city's infrastructure construction has been fruitful, especially the changes in highway traffic can really be said to be earth-shaking. It used to take us at least six hours to get from the city to the city, and the traffic jam might take a long time. Now it's a maximum of two hours. This shows that the current team is a hard-working team and a strong team. Wu easily turned the polite words of the meeting into flattery words. Zhu Huaijing could hear that he was secretly sending Qiu Bo to Mayor Pi.

Ge Jianyuan nodded hurriedly and agreed: "Yes, yes." This also shows that the authority of the first class has been strengthened, and all aspects of the work are very smooth. ”

Mayor Pi said modestly: "I still have to accept the review of the people's representatives." ”

Wu Zhiren understood what Mayor Pi was hinting at, and hurriedly said: "Mayor Pi, I guarantee with the party spirit that I will definitely safeguard the organization's intentions and vote for you." ”

"Yes, yes, vote." Ge Jianyuan also said.

Mayor Pi changed his tone to a joking tone and said, "Not only do you have to guarantee yourself, but you also have to guarantee your delegation!" ”

Wu Ge and the others hurriedly said, of course. In this way, from the greetings to the secret autumn waves, and the public showdown, it was completed in just a few minutes. Mayor Pi was relieved, and left with a few more polite words.

After a while, Vice Mayor Sima knocked on the door again and came in. When Wu Ren saw it, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Mayor Sima, Commissioner Ge and I promise to vote for you." "It seems that Wu Ren and Vice Mayor Sima are very casual.

Vice Mayor Sima shook hands with Wu Ge and said with a smile: "It's difficult for people to do it. You came, I didn't come to see, you said I was a big person. Let's take a look, and say I'm canvassing for votes. ”

Wu Zhiren got busy and serious, and said: "I just told Commissioner Ge that the current ** team is indeed strong and powerful, very hard, very practical, and does not engage in showmanship. The people's deputies are satisfied with such a team. It's not nice to say it in person, since you have been in charge of finance and trade, if you have a lot of regional care and support for us, I am everywhere to put your good miles! The deputies know very well what the leading comrades are doing. If you don't vote, who will vote? ”

Vice Mayor Sima shook his head and said with a smile: "I accept the selection of the people's representatives. Okay, rest well. ”

Vice Mayor Sima seemed to have only seen Zhu Huaijing at this moment, raised his hand at him, and left.

Zhu Huaijing felt a little embarrassed to sit here, so he took his leave. When I went out, I saw another deputy mayor knocking on the door of a room. Zhu Huaijing wanted to go to see a few old friends again, but found that today was not the day to visit the door, so he had to go back to his room. I thought that the leaders of the city had worked hard enough these days. In order to prevent people from connecting in series and engaging in non-organizational activities, I have already made an article on the arrangement of residence. Intending to let the delegates live in a scattered place, the major hotels in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Jingdu are all occupied. If there are regional delegations, the Pegasus Hotel is very remote, at the foot of Jingshan Mountain in the north of the city. If leading comrades want to visit the deputies, they have to shuttle through Jingdu City, which is also very hard. Zhu Huaijing didn't know if there would be anything tonight, so he didn't dare to leave here. I haven't been to Yuqin's place for a few days, and I really miss her. He hung up the phone and tangled with Yuqin.

This time, it was quite calm, and Pi Deqiu was elected as the mayor, and Comrade Cheng Ren, the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture, was appointed as the executive vice mayor. One deputy mayor was co-opted and several others remained elected. It's just that during the meeting, a delegation made a temporary motion, proposing Vice Mayor Sima as a candidate for mayor, and Sima himself declared that he would give up after organizing the work. There isn't much tidbit. Therefore, it is a congress of unity, a congress of victory. But since then, the relationship between Mayor Pi and Vice Mayor Sima has become delicate, but what people feel is that Sima has more respect for Mayor Pi, and Mayor Pi has become more polite to Sima. Later, some people with good deeds had nothing to do after eating, saying that if Sima insisted on accepting the selection of the people's representatives, he might be able to replace him. Somehow, this word reached Mayor Pi's ears, and Mayor Pi laughed it off. Someone else spread Mayor Pi's laughter to Sima, and Sima snorted and laughed. Sima's laughter spread to Mayor Pi again, and Mayor Pi was unhappy that Sima still hummed his nose when he laughed, so he didn't even smile, but just hummed his nose gently. It's all for later.

That afternoon was the last discussion of the General Assembly, and it will be adjourned tomorrow morning. If there is a delegation presiding over the discussion, it is Wu Renren, and the city leader who participates in the discussion is Ming Kuangzheng, deputy director of the Municipal People's Congress. As soon as the discussion began, Zhang Tianqi spoke first. People with experience in officialdom will be the first to speak at this kind of meeting. Because this kind of discussion has no practical meaning, it is just a formality and a statement. The words of the statement are just a few words, and it is better to say it later than to say it early, so as not to pick up people's teeth, and you can appear positive. Zhang Tianqi said: "This people's congress was very successful, mainly in the three 'good': the election of a good leading group, the deliberation and adoption of a good "work report", the meeting opened a good style of actively participating in politics. In this meeting, the more I opened, the more comfortable I was, the more enthusiastic I was, and the more energetic I was...... The more momentum this has grown. I really can't sit still, I just hope to go back early, bring the spirit of the meeting back, and convey and implement the ...... to the people of the county."

When Zhang Tianqi spoke, Wu Zhiren was calmly smoking a cigarette, and Ming Kuang was flipping through the documents in his hand, and he couldn't tell if they were listening carefully. The whole audience was lazily leaning on the sofa with empty expressions. The meeting had been going on for eight days, and the discussion had been held no less than 10 times, and it seemed that everyone was a little tired. At this time, the reporter from the TV station came in, and everyone subconsciously lifted their spirits and sat upright. Wu Zhiren immediately put down Erlang's legs, straightened his waist, twisted the cigarette butt into the ashtray, snatched Zhang Tianqi's words, and said, "Comrade Tianqi said it well. The Municipal People's Congress has decided on the overall deployment of the city's economic and social development in the next five years. The prefectural committee has made a special study on the work in the next five years, focusing on the 'three ones,' that is, developing a mountain, curing a piece of water, and opening up a market. After we go back, we should combine the spirit of this people's congress, enrich the opinions of our prefectural committees, and further study the ideas for work. When Wu Zhiren said this, the reporter of the TV station finished filming, and he said politely: "Comrade Tianqi continues." All of them immediately looked like actors with their makeup removed, and their faces were tired and pimpled.

Zhu Huaijing saw this scene and thought it was very funny. Leading comrades are no more polite than film and television actors in grabbing the camera. Originally, Ming Kuangzheng should be the first person to be on camera, but he was only a deputy director of the Municipal People's Congress, and Wu was not so polite. After Wu Zhiren snatched the conversation, Zhu Huaijing saw that Ming Kuangzheng's face was not very good, drooped his eyelids, glanced at Wu Zhizhi quietly, and then put down the document in hand, took out a notebook, and wrote something on it. In this way, when Ming Kuangzheng appeared on TV tonight, he was just listening carefully to the opinions of the deputies, while Wu Ren was dancing with his eyebrows and talking eloquently. But what exactly Ming Kuangzheng wrote in his notebook, only God knows. Maybe he didn't write anything, just pretended to paint. Zhu Huaijing thought to himself, Ming Kuangzheng was angry in his heart, and the person who blamed Wu for stealing the camera, would he still take note of his speech? Moreover, the photographic lights made him dizzy.

When he was about to get off work the next afternoon, Zhu Huaijing received a call from Zhang Tianqi, saying that he had something to trouble him. Zhu Huaijing went to Zhang Tianqi's room. The congress has dispersed, and the delegates have largely left. Zhang Tianqi was the only one left in the room. His secretary and driver were originally staying outside the hotel.

"I always want to trouble you, I don't want to go!" Zhang Tianqi held Zhu Huaijing's hand and said.

Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "Where did you go?" You are my parent, I don't serve you, who do I serve? What's the big deal, you say? ”

Zhang Tianqi poured tea for Zhu Huaijing, handed over a cigarette, lit it, and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just my own private matter." I have been studying for a master's degree in the School of Finance and Economics, your alma mater, for the past two years, and I am almost finished, and I am now working on my thesis. Worship the real Buddha in front of real people, you know my article, it can't be graded. I made a so-so first draft, I know I can't pass the test, I want to ask you to turn iron into gold. ”

Zhang Tianqi took out the paper from his briefcase. Zhu Huaijing took a look at it and saw that the title was "Research on the Current Situation and Countermeasures of the Construction of Local Financial Resources." He browsed at random, and the article turned a little quickly. Zhang Tianqi seemed to have no bottom in his heart, for fear that Zhu Huaijing would see that something was wrong, so he said modestly on the side: "The article doesn't look like it, it makes you laugh." Fortunately, you are an expert in finance and a master of writing and ink, so please leave it to you. ”

Zhu Huaijing flipped through it roughly for a while, and saw that the material of the article was very informative and the text was clean. I thought to myself that this was probably not Zhang Tianqi's own handwriting, he couldn't write such an article, it must have been done by his secretary team. Zhu Huaijing has written official articles for many years, and he has long been tired of such articles. But because of Zhang Tianqi's face, it was difficult to shirk it, so he said: "Secretary Zhang, you are too modest, this article is very good!" You are a leader directly engaged in economic work, and you have a wealth of practical situations, which is beyond the reach of academic scholars. I believe that the points you put forward are all fresh in them. I said that's it, you must call me lazy. Then I'll take it and learn it. Is there a time requirement? ”

Zhang Tianqi said: "There is a lot of time, and I will only defend in July, but I have to hand it over to my tutor in May." There are still three or four months to go, so there's no hurry. Today, I would like to ask you to join me to meet my supervisor, Professor He Fangru. The day before this meeting, I visited him first, and occasionally talked about you, only to know that he was your teacher back then. He is very impressed with you and appreciates you. I have been dealing with him for almost two years, and I know that this gentleman has a strange personality and never speaks easily of a person's goodness. ”
