Xu Tianchang heard Secretary Du directly call himself and Li Hai's names and asked them if they knew about it, so he glanced at Long Shengli and said, "Secretary Du, I really haven't heard of this thing you said, and I haven't heard the organization department mention it to me. Comrade Victory, what's going on?"

Li Hai also said: "Our municipal party committee has never heard anyone report on this matter, at least not at the Standing Committee, and it is possible that the Organization Department and the Discipline Inspection Commission directly investigated and directly made the decision to revoke it. ”

In front of Secretary Du, Xu Tianchang, and Li Hai, he couldn't tell Huang Shunfu what he wanted, so he had to say vaguely: "Secretary Du, regarding Comrade Li Ying's exceptional promotion, our county party committee was indeed a little hasty, and we did not strictly follow the organizational procedures during the inspection, and we did not report to the Mingguang Municipal Party Committee in advance. However, the promotion of Comrade Li Ying was unanimously decided by all members of the Standing Committee of our county party committee. Because we feel that Comrade Li Ying is indeed a rare talent, and has made outstanding contributions in the process of restructuring the nitrogen fertilizer plant and attracting investment, and meets the conditions and requirements for exceptional promotion......"

As soon as he said this, Secretary Du waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "Comrade Long Shengli, as a first-level party organization, your county party committee should be within the scope of your authority for the promotion of a section-level cadre. Since you believe that Comrade Li Ying's promotion is in line with the regulations, when the Organization Department of the Mingguang City CPC Committee and the Discipline Inspection Commission come to investigate, you should uphold principles, argue on the basis of reason, lay out facts, and be reasonable. I believe that as long as your reasons are sufficient, Comrade Tianchang and Comrade Li Hai will support you. ”

Xu Tianchang and Li Hai nodded frequently while writing down Secretary Du's words in a small notebook with a pen.

When Long Shengli heard that Secretary Du's tone was full of accusation and dissatisfaction, he was "dumb and eat Coptis chinensis -- there is a word of suffering": He had argued with Huang Shunfu on this matter, but he was severely reprimanded by Huang Shunfu; when the joint investigation team of the Organization Department of the Mingguang City CPC Committee and the Discipline Inspection Commission came down, he also raised different opinions on the conclusion of the investigation they made. However, in front of Secretary Du, Secretary Xu, and Mayor Li, it was impossible for him to say these things, otherwise, he would offend Huang Shunfu and a large number of people from the Organization Department and the Discipline Inspection Commission of Mingguang City......

Secretary Du saw that Long Shengli's face was ashamed and silent, so he glanced at a few people present, slowed down his tone and said, "I'm not here to criticize you today. The reason why I want to cite this example is to remind you: In this era of great reform, great opening up, and economic development as the foundation, we must be good at discovering, cultivating, and utilizing talent. It is necessary to establish a set of cadre selection and promotion mechanisms that are conducive to outstanding talents coming to the fore, and for young cadres who are truly outstanding and have made outstanding contributions, those who should be rewarded should be rewarded, and those who should be promoted should be promoted. We must not be confined to qualifications and rules, and we must not be constrained by outdated concepts and backward thinking. ”

Speaking of this, he took a sip of tea from his cup and continued: "Since I have talked about Comrade Li Ying today, I will simply talk to you openly and honestly. To tell you the truth: I know Comrade Li Ying better than all of you here. I have been dating him for six or seven years, and I know his ability and character very clearly. Therefore, I deliberately mentioned the matter of the promotion of him by the Wushui County Party Committee. Because I believe that with Comrade Li Ying's ability and level, the Wushui County Party Committee should make an exceptional promotion to him, which should be a correct decision. This correct decision was later overturned, and I had doubts about it, so I remembered to ask Comrade Tianchang and Comrade Li Hai. ”

As soon as Secretary Du said this, Xu Tianchang and others were taken aback: no one expected that Secretary Du and Li Ying were still old acquaintances, and they had been dating for six or seven years. Based on their experience, if it weren't for a particularly good and close relationship, a leader of Secretary Du's level would not have been able to say the relationship between him and Li Ying in front of so many people......

Secretary Du continued: "If you want to talk about qualifications and contributions, I can also tell you a little bit about the history of Comrade Li Ying: Comrade Li Ying's original name was Sneng Xiaotian, and he was a native of Lengxi Village, Leigong Town, Wushui County. Five years ago, I went to his house and visited the old chief Lin Zhendong, who was living in his house at the time. Comrade Li Ying was a member of the executive committee of the All-China Youth Federation and the chairman of the Poverty Alleviation Foundation five years ago, and once organized a large-scale fundraising meeting in Lengxi Village, raising 300 million yuan for your Mingguang City. I think you all know about it, or at least have heard of it. ”

The more Xu Tianchang and the others listened, the more surprised they became: when the old chief Lin Zhendong came to Wushui County to recuperate, Secretary Du rushed over to pay him a New Year's greeting on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and Sneered Tian's large-scale fundraising in Lengxi Village, they had all heard of these things. It's just that none of them thought that the protagonist of this matter would be a small deputy section-level cadre who is now working in obscurity in the Wushui County Party Committee Office.

Xu Tianchang hurriedly said: "Secretary Du, about Comrade Li Ying, Mayor Li and I have indeed heard it for the first time today, and we have never heard anyone mention this matter to us, including Comrade Long Shengli, and have never reported it to us. Judging from your introduction and Comrade Long Shengli's report, Comrade Li Ying is indeed a rare outstanding talent, and has made great contributions to Mingguang City and Wushui County in the past and now. We will follow your instructions and earnestly study the promotion and use of Comrade Li Ying, and we will definitely use good steel on the blade, please rest assured of this. ”

Secretary Du nodded, and talked a little about the work of Mingguang City and Wushui County, and then said to Long Shengli: "Comrade Long Shengli, when you go down, let Comrade Li Ying come to my room for a spin, I will catch up with him, and by the way, ask him about his current work." ”

Xu Tianchang heard Secretary Du say this, and knew that he was issuing an eviction order, so he took Li Hai, Long Shengli and others to bid farewell to Secretary Du.

On the elevator, Xu Tianchang frowned and asked Long Shengli: "How did your county party committee do it? A cadre who had such a close relationship with Secretary Du and had served as an executive committee member of the All-China Youth Federation was assigned to your county party committee, and you didn't even know about it? Why are you so passive now! Also, what happened when your county party committee promoted Li Ying and then revoked the promotion decision? Who organized the investigation team to come to your Wushui to investigate? Why did Mayor Li and I not know anything about it?"
