Next, Xu Tianchang began his speech in combination with the exposition of a top party leader on the issue of talent: "Comrades, on the issue of deepening our understanding of the value of talent, we must establish the idea that 'talent is the first resource', get rid of the concept of 'valuing things over people', and resolutely not engage in the set of 'Wu Dalang opens a store - those who are superior to me do not need it'. With the vigorous development of the knowledge economy, the status and role of talents, as the carrier of knowledge, are becoming more and more significant. If the main resource in the era of agricultural economy is land and the main resource in the era of industrial economy is capital, then the main resource in the era of knowledge economy is talent. To promote scientific development, the essence is for the people, the core is innovation, and the key is talent. In the new century and new stage, our party attaches great importance to the role of qualified personnel and has formulated a series of policies on qualified personnel, but in some localities and units, there is still a phenomenon of jealousy of the virtuous and capable or the phenomenon of 'seeing things but not seeing people.' We should thoroughly implement the principle of respecting labor, knowledge, talent, and creation, give full play to the strategic role of human resources in economic and social development, and do a better job of using talent as the primary resource to promote science and technology as the 'primary productive force' and science and technology as the 'primary productive force' to implement the 'primary task' of development. Wushui County is a large agricultural county in poor and backward mountainous areas, and has not taken off the hat of a national-level poverty-stricken county. Therefore, Wushui's first priority now is to develop the economy and improve the people's livelihood, that is, to get the people out of poverty and become rich as soon as possible. In this process, we must be good at discovering talents, be good at using talents, and dare to boldly promote talents. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Tianchang slowly glanced at the participants, and began to get back to business, talking about Li Ying's problem: "When Secretary Du asked me to talk to Comrade Li Hai, Comrade Long Shengli, and Comrade Hu Bing about the issue of talent the day before yesterday, he emphasized the example of Comrade Li Ying being promoted and then revoked the promotion decision. As far as I learned later, Comrade Li Ying was indeed a very outstanding young cadre and a rare outstanding talent. For such talents, we must vigorously cultivate, second, vigorously promote, and third, boldly use. I heard Comrade Long Shengli say: At the beginning, your county party committee was going to promote Comrade Li Ying to be the head of the administrative group of the county party committee office. In my opinion, this position is not enough to give full play to Comrade Li Ying's talent and ability. Therefore, I suggest that Comrade Li Ying be directly promoted to the post of deputy director of the county party committee office and concurrently the director of the county investment promotion bureau. Of course, as I said, this is just a suggestion of mine, and the specific measures will have to be discussed and decided by the Standing Committee of your county party committee. If my suggestion is adopted by you, and someone in Mingguang City raises any questions that do not conform to the organizational procedures and the regulations on the selection and appointment of cadres, you can reply to him directly: This is my suggestion from Xu Tianchang, and you ask him to come directly to me to report the problem, and I will explain and persuade him. ”

Xu Tianchang's last few words were obviously aimed at Huang Shunfu. Long Shengli and the others had his words, which was equivalent to owning a Shang Fang sword, and they all showed knowing smiles on their faces......

Two days later, Wushui County held another meeting of the Standing Committee to discuss and approve the proposal on promoting Comrade Li Ying to the post of deputy director of the Wushui County Party Committee Office and director of the County Investment Promotion Bureau, which was again publicized in the afternoon of the same day.

On the night of the announcement, Li Ying returned to the dormitory, and just walked to the door, Jiao Zhihui heard his footsteps, and immediately opened the door from the inside to welcome him, and while reaching over to pick up the briefcase in his hand, he said with a smile on his face: "Hello Director Li! Congratulations to Director Li on his promotion!"

Li Ying retracted the hand holding the briefcase, and said a little unaccustomedly: "Brother Jiao, don't be so polite between the two of us." We sleep in one room every day, and if you are so polite, it seems to be raw. You might as well call me Li Ying!"

Jiao Zhihui said solemnly: "Then how can you do it? You are now my direct leader, I don't call you Director Li, is that you don't understand the rules? Director Li, let me tell you: Since you have gone up the steps, you have to follow the rules." Although I have never been an official, I still understand some of the routines and rules of officialdom. For example, although you are younger than most of the comrades we appointed, since you are already the deputy director, we can no longer call you by your name, and this is also the need to maintain your authority. In the same way, now that you are in this position, you have to get used to having others call you your position. For those who do not call you by name according to the rules, you should also express your dissatisfaction appropriately, otherwise, it will damage your prestige. ”

Li Ying knew that what he said made sense, so he didn't say anything more.

As soon as he walked in, Jiao Zhihui handed over a cup of hot green tea and said earnestly: "Director Li, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, you and I are both colleagues and roommates, I hope Director Li can take more care of me in the future." Also, if there is anything wrong or insufficient in the future, please point it out to Director Li, and I will accept it with an open mind and work hard to correct it. ”

Li Ying frowned and said, "Brother Jiao, I'll make a suggestion to you now: it's okay for you to call me Director Li in the office, but in the dormitory, please don't use this kind of polite tone, I'm really a little unaccustomed to it." ”

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door outside.

Li Ying turned around and opened the door, only to see Tong Jia standing at the door, seeing him open the door, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes stared at the ground, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

As soon as Li Ying saw Tong Jia's appearance, she felt a sense of guilt and annoyance: what is sorry is that since Lin Xue came in the past few days, he has not called Tong Jia a single phone, nor has he given her any explanation about Lin Xue's affairs, and she obviously knows about herself and Lin Xue, but she has never come to him, nor has she called him to ask him, or asked him to give her an explanation; / Hope, and Tong Jia broke through the last line of defense. Although, at that time, he did think about whether to marry Tong Jia, but in hindsight, it was actually an excuse he made for himself: between Su Xiaodan, Lin Xue and Tong Jia, if you want to choose by yourself, then the first one must be Su Xiaodan, the second is Lin Xue, and Tong Jia must be ranked last. Under the premise that Lin Xue was still waiting for herself, she had a relationship with Tong Jia, even if it was not a betrayal, at least it should be regarded as an irresponsible behavior......

Because Jiao Zhihui was present, Li Ying didn't want to ask Tong Jia anything, so she let her into the house.

Tong Jia lowered her head, silently followed Li Ying into the room, took a cup of tea handed over by Li Ying, and sipped silently, but never said a word.

Jiao Zhihui saw that Lin Xue had just left, and Tong Jia came over again, and these two were stunning beauties, and they both seemed to be dead set on Li Ying, and he couldn't help but feel a strong jealousy in his heart: This kid is too smooth! Not only does he climb fast, but he is also very happy, and one by one stunning beauties take the initiative to send them to the door, I heard that even Director Song may have a leg with him. And I am twenty-seven or eighteen, and it is more difficult to find a city girl with a mediocre appearance than to ascend to the sky. And the one who took the initiative to give Li Ying a hug was the best girl like the first star host of the provincial TV station and the first beauty of the county public security bureau. It's really better than people to die, and goods to be thrown away......

Of course, although he was full of envy and jealousy for Li Ying in his heart, he was respectful on the surface, and when he saw that Tong Jia seemed to have something to tell Li Ying, he took the initiative to say: "Director Li, Officer Tong, I still have to go to the office to change the materials, you talk first, I will accompany less." ”

With that, he opened the door and walked out.

After Tong Jia waited for Jiao Zhihui's footsteps to disappear from the aisle, she suddenly threw herself into Li Ying's arms and cried "whining".

Li Ying was a little at a loss and asked, "Jiajia, what's wrong?"

Tong Jia raised her tearful face and stared at Li Ying, her eyes were full of bitterness and helplessness, and she asked for a long time: "What's the matter with you and that Lin Xue from the provincial TV station?"

Li Ying said a little ashamedly: "Jiajia, I'm sorry, I never mentioned Lin Xue's matter to you. Now I'm going to tell you everything that happened between me and her. ”

Next, he told Tong Jia everything that happened after the chance encounter between himself and Lin Xue on the train seven years ago, but he just concealed the plot that Lin Xue had drunk the medicine by mistake.

After Tong Jia listened, he didn't make a sound for a long time. After being silent for about five minutes, she buried her head in Li Ying's arms again, and said in a heartbreaking and sad tone: "Xiaotian, I told you: If Su Xiaodan comes back, or if you meet the woman you like, you can leave me at any time, and I have no complaints." Because I told you a long time ago: The happy days I have been with you in the past few months were stolen from Su Xiaodan. Now it seems that I have not been precise enough and not comprehensive enough. It should be said that this happy life of mine was stolen from Su Xiaodan and Lin Xue. Now that Lin Xue has found you, it's time for me to leave you. But before I leave, I want you to do something for me. ”

Li Ying was feeling guilty in her heart, and when she heard that she was going to do something by herself, she quickly agreed: "Jiajia, what do you want me to do, just say, I will definitely do it." ”

Tong Jia thought for a while, as if she had made a lot of determination, and said, "I want to invite you to come to my house tomorrow night for a meal, so that my parents can meet you." Because they are still angry at me for rejecting Kwong Yong, and Kwong Yong still does not give up, and still runs to my house often. For face reasons, Kwong Yong didn't tell my parents that I was already with you, and I said that I had found a boyfriend, but they didn't believe me. Now, they are forcing me to reconcile with Kwong Yong every day. Otherwise, let me bring my boyfriend home and let them see it, saying that if they are better than Kwong Yong, they will forget it, otherwise, they will really break off the relationship with me. So, I'd like to ask you to go and meet with them tomorrow. Regardless of what happens to us in the future, I don't want to talk to any other man right now. I just have such a small request, and I hope you will agree. ”
