At the end of the year, as usual, the relevant departments should be organized to report to the province. From the provincial capital to the region, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it is difficult for comrades in the province to come here. I had to take the initiative to report to the door, thank the superior leaders for their support and concern in the past year, and ask for continued attention in the future. Since it is almost the end of the year, it is normal for people to bring some local specialties. The province has repeatedly greeted each other, and it is not recommended that the leaders of the prefecture and city lead the team to report to the province collectively. But once you go, it's not easy for people to turn you away. It's hard to come from afar.

I've been preparing for a while, and I'm ready to go. On this day, Tang Banxian, general manager of Tang, went to Secretary Zhang's office to report his work, and said that he wished Secretary Zhang a smooth journey to the provincial capital. Secretary Zhang said with a smile, you are an auspicious person, and it will be smooth with your sentence. Tomorrow we will be on the road, will we be particular about the hour? Tang Banxian replied, I have already calculated it for you. Tomorrow it is advisable to leave early, and the train will depart on time after 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., and everything will be fine.

After Tang Banxian left, Zhang Zhaolin called Secretary-General Li and asked if the notice had been sent. Secretary-General Li said that the notice was sent yesterday afternoon. Zhang Zhaolin said, I think we will leave early tomorrow, because we are afraid of traffic jams on the road, and we will not be able to arrive in one day. Let's gather at 5:50 a.m. and have breakfast on the way. Secretary-General Li said that too, there are several roads along the way, so it is better to go early. Then I would like to add a notice. Zhang Zhaolin said, okay. Commissioner Lu, please report to me personally.

Meng Weizhou saw that Secretary Zhang did not tell Secretary-General Li the reason for the change of time, so he admired Secretary Zhang's sophistication and thanked him for his trust in him. Secretary Zhang is generally serious, but he is more casual with Meng Weizhou, and sometimes he is embarrassed by Meng Weizhou. Meng Weizhou discovered a rule early on, Secretary Zhang is generally casual when there are no outsiders, and even more casual when he goes on a business trip to other places, as soon as he returns to the office, it is like a different person. He also sometimes made a few indecent jokes, which made people feel that the leader was very close to the masses. But Meng Weizhou just echoed the smile, never played on Secretary Zhang's jokes, and did not repeat his jokes on any occasion. The indecent jokes made by leading comrades are generally caused by forgetfulness under certain circumstances, and most of them will regret their gaffes later. Such a joke, you dare to repeat his? In a word, a leader is a leader at all times, and a subordinate is a subordinate at all times. The leader is casually approachable with you, and you are casually unofficial with the leader. Don't get carried away when you see the leader casually with you.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone rushed to the conference room on the first floor of the office building of the prefectural party committee early. After greeting Commissioner Lu, Zhang Zhaolin asked Secretary-General Li if he had arrived? Secretary-General Li said, "It's about the same." Zhang Zhaolin asked, almost? How much worse is it? Secretary-General Li hesitated a little and said that only the Finance Bureau was missing. Commissioner Lu said, Comrade Liu Yun, wait for her. Secretary-General Li nodded, his eyes did not look at Zhang Zhaolin, and only greeted other comrades. Zhang Zhaolin was silent, smoking heavily, and his face was lost in the thick smoke.

It's past six o'clock, and Liu Yun hasn't arrived yet. Zhang Zhaolin turned his head to Commissioner Lu and said, let's go, don't wait, she will come later. Lesbians are really called mothers-in-law and mothers. Commissioner Lu asked as he got up, don't wait? Zhang Zhaolin said that he didn't wait, so he got up and walked out.

When I got in the car, it was six past seven. Zhang Zhaolin looked left and right, and asked Meng Weizhou to think about it, if he had forgotten anything. Meng Weizhou thought about it and said no. He knew that Secretary Zhang was going to stay until six o'clock and eight minutes. Secretary-General Li looked out of the car, and he hoped that Comrade Liu Yun would catch up.

As soon as six o'clock and eight minutes arrived, Zhang Zhaolin said, let's go. So more than a dozen cars drove out of the prefectural committee compound in turn.

It's really smooth along the way. At half past five in the afternoon, we arrived in the provincial capital. The regional offices in the provincial capitals are ready for all receptions. Director Yuan of the office asked the leaders to wash up before eating.

Meng Weizhou placed Secretary Zhang's luggage properly and was about to go back to his room when he saw Director Yuan of the office coming. Secretary Zhang was in the bathroom at this time, and Meng Weizhou asked Director Yuan if there was something wrong? Director Yuan attached himself to Meng Weizhou's ear and said softly, Director Liu of the Finance Bureau had an accident.

Yes! Meng Weizhou was taken aback.

At this time, Secretary Zhang came out. Xiao Yuan sit down.

Director Yuan sighed a few times, but did not sit down. After Secretary Zhang sat on the sofa, Director Yuan lowered his voice and said, Secretary Zhang, report a bad thing.

What's the matter, let's talk about it, Zhang Zhaolin doesn't care too much.

Something happened to Director Liu on the road.

What the? What's going on? Secretary Zhang raised his head, his eyes wide open.

Overturned. Director Yuan said.

Yes? Are people alright? Are people alright? Secretary Zhang stood up suddenly.

I got the call at noon. It's all unfortunate that, and the budget section chief and the driver, all three of them are that, alas!

Secretary Zhang kept shaking his head and walked back and forth in the room.

At this time, Commissioner Lu and Secretary-General Li came and stood aside. It seems that Director Yuan has already told them.

No one spoke, and they all watched Secretary Zhang walking around uneasily.

After a while, Commissioner Lu said, look at you, who would have thought of such a thing.

Secretary Zhang sat down on the sofa. Pointing to another sofa, he motioned for Commissioner Lu to sit down as well. Secretary Zhang said sadly, I am responsible!

Secretary-General Li said, where is where. Blame us for not being strict with office time requirements.

Dinner was deserted. The office originally prepared a few bottles of good wine to wash the dust of the leaders. Zhang Zhaolin waved his hand, and the wine was withdrawn.

After dinner, Commissioner Lu, Secretary-General Li, and Director Yuan of the office went to Secretary Zhang's room to sit for a while. Meng Weizhou didn't know whether to advance or retreat. Zhang Zhaolin said, Xiao Meng can sit casually. Meng Weizhou sat on the edge of the bed.

Everyone calmed down and began to talk about it. There are not many capable young female cadres like Liu Yun, she is less than forty years old this year. Zhang Zhaolin said that he will turn 37 in October this year. After a while, Zhang Zhaolin added that it happened that she had been on business trips with us on several birthdays, and she was deeply impressed. Everyone said, Zhang Zhaolin told Director Yuan, you hang up the phone and go back, learn more about the details, and tell me later. And I would like to ask you to convey to your families that I will come back with Commissioner Lu the day after tomorrow and go back to express my condolences to them.

After chatting for a while, Commissioner Lu said, you should rest early. Everyone took their leave.

Director Yuan made several phone calls, but none of them went well. It took more than an hour to figure out the situation. The accident occurred 70 kilometers after the local commission, because the car was too fast and fell under the cliff at the bend. Because the accident happened too early, and it was winter, it was not discovered until more than ten o'clock in the morning. When I found it, everyone was cold.

Director Yuan hesitated for a while, but still knocked on Zhang Zhaolin's door.

Zhang Zhaolin hadn't slept yet, and his face was sad. The whole house was smoky. He quietly listened to Director Yuan's report, and only said softly, okay, okay, and waved his hand. Director Yuan withdrew.

Ma Jie slept on the bed, thinking about Liu Yun's overturn, and said that her driver was usually very stable. Meng Weizhou said, it may be chasing us today, who knows? Ma Jie said, is it a fucking day today? I heard that Mr. Tang of the material company understands this, and when he goes out in the future, he will be asked to calculate. Meng Weizhou said, you are really joking, Secretary Zhang will believe this? Meng Weizhou always has a hand on Ma Jie. On a business trip at the grassroots level, he played poker with Secretary Zhang at night and drank night wine, Ma Jie still doesn't know, and always thinks that they are doing something big at night. Meng Weizhou thinks that some things are more mysterious and have more benefits. If others can't figure it out about you, they won't dare to make mistakes. Some things should be kept secret, as I just said, let people know how to do Secretary Zhang's superstition? Ma Jie felt that he was inappropriate, and immediately nodded and said, that's too, that's too. When the leadership of the faith of science.

Meng Weizhou didn't really believe in this kind of trick, but today's events are also a bit divine. If Director Liu also sets off at 6:80 a.m., maybe it will be fine? It's no wonder that Secretary Zhang believes it. Both the United States and Russia are more advanced in science than we are, but their presidents believe in astrology and hire masters to consult on national affairs. What does this say? The unknown world is far greater than the known world, don't doubt what you don't understand.

After breakfast the next day, everyone gathered in the conference room of the office to wait for the arrival of the leaders of the relevant departments. The briefing session is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. The invitations were sent out early, and yesterday the office called again separately. The general arrangement of the entire reporting activity is that a comprehensive report meeting will be held first, and then various departments will take action separately, and Zhang Zhaolin and Commissioner Lu will visit several provincial leaders. Now that Liu Yun's matter has unfortunately happened, Commissioner Lu has asked Secretary Zhang to study it, and the overall arrangement will remain unchanged in principle, only compressing the time for visiting the provincial leaders, and strive to finish it this afternoon and evening. If you can't finish it, come back next time. Early tomorrow morning, Secretary Zhang and Commissioner Lu will rush back, and Secretary-General Li will stay in charge.

Everyone was drinking tea in the conference room, and the office received a call from the Provincial Bureau of Letters and Visits, and representatives of workers from several enterprises in difficulty in the general area came to the province to collectively petition, saying that they had not received their wages for half a year and had no place to live. There are more than 30 in total, and they can't be persuaded to leave, and the impact is very bad. The comrades of the Letters and Visits Bureau said: We have already called your local committee office, but now the problem is that the people are not going to disperse, so we ask the office to send someone to assist in the work.

As soon as Director Yuan reported the situation, Secretary Zhang and Commissioner Lu were very annoyed. Commissioner Lu shouted, these people, we are here to sell sesame oil, they are here to pour dung!

Secretary Zhang looked at his watch, and it was more than 8:20. It's useless to get angry, you have to deal with it right away. Otherwise, the comrades of the relevant departments of the province came, and everyone was sad. Secretary Zhang said, time waits for no one, let me first give an opinion, everyone to see how to see, the general principle is two "certain", the living difficulties of the working masses must be solved in every possible way, and the individual who instigated the workers to make trouble must be severely investigated. The comrades of the bank are here, and they immediately hang up the phone and go back to their families, first take out loans to pay the basic living expenses of the workers, and spend money to buy stability. Secretary-General Li, together with the comrades of the Economic Commission and the office, immediately went to persuade the people to return. You have to buy a train ticket and get them on the train.

There was agreement.

Schedule a stop, and the time is almost up. Secretary-General Li and others went out quickly, and comrades from the provincial departments arrived one after another.

The atmosphere of the debriefing meeting was very good. The comrades of the province are satisfied with the development of the region in the past few years and unanimously express their support for it as always.

A casual banquet will be held at noon. Zhang Zhaolin and Commissioner Lu raised their wine glasses to each table to toast, and Meng Weizhou followed closely to greet him. But Zhang Zhaolin only touched his lips and said. The comrades in the province smiled and had an opinion, saying that who doesn't know how much you Secretary Zhang drinks? How did you behave today? Commissioner Lu hurriedly explained that Secretary Zhang has not been in good condition these days, spare him, and I will accompany you to do it. Just explained table by table, and you can basically pass the test. But President Hu of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China remembered the hatred of one arrow back then, and he refused to let it go, so Meng Wei and Zhou drank it on his behalf.

After the feast, happily dispersed.

After all the guests were sent away, Secretary General Li rushed back, all of them looking exhausted. Secretary-General Li said that the people were finally sent away, but the work was too difficult to do.

Zhang Zhaolin said, hard work, hard work. Eat first and take a break. In the afternoon, I will go out with Commissioner Lu, but you will not go, hang up the phone and go back, and link up the opinions of our morning study with several leaders at home, and implement them immediately.

Early the next morning, Secretary Zhang and Commissioner Lu hurriedly embarked on the return journey.

Secretary Zhang is a person who talks about feelings, and he must have felt guilty about Liu Yun or has more complicated feelings. Meng Weizhou faintly felt something at Liu Yun's memorial service. That day was the eulogy delivered by Commissioner Lu, and Secretary Zhang only made a brief speech of less than three minutes. In just a few sentences, it is not flashy, but the words are true, showing the sadness of a leading comrade who has lost his talents, and it is deeply moving. At a memorial service like this, Meng Weizhou followed Secretary Zhang to attend many times, and Secretary Zhang generally only maintained a kind of polite solemnity and would not be overly sad. It's not indifference or hypocrisy, it's human nature. Now it is completely polite to talk about the deep grief for the death of whom, and to turn grief into strength. But this time was different, Meng Weizhou clearly saw the grief in Secretary Zhang's heart. Secretary Zhang was not very happy for a period of time after that, but Meng Weizhou couldn't be comforted, so he just turned a blind eye.
