July 2, 1998, 10 p.m. Little Red House
When Gao Changhe arrived in Pingyang, the rain gradually became heavier, and for a while it seemed like the sky had collapsed. At that time, Gao Changhe did not know that the rivers and lakes of the Changjiang River were rising together, and he was in an emergency on all fronts, and he was full of thoughts not about fighting floods and rescuing people, but about how to implement the spirit of Liu Huabo's instructions. Tian Liye's generation of secretaries has only been on behalf of him for a few days, and he hasn't even sat on his buttocks, so I'm going to invite him now, let's not talk about fairness or unfairness, how can you open this mouth? !
It was also a coincidence that when I went to the Municipal Party Committee Guest House to find food to fill my stomach, I met Wen Chunming.
As soon as Wen Chunming heard Gao Changhe mention Tian Liye's matter, he immediately said, "...... Okay, okay, Secretary Hua Bo is finally wise once, this Tian Liye should really be withdrawn! It's too frustrating, I think it's all thrown into the Pacific Ocean! "At the moment, I told Gao Changhe about the hostage incident that happened in Linhu Town," ...... Changhe, tell me, does this kid look like an acting secretary of the county party committee? How desperate it is, how much damage it takes, can I think of detaining Hu Zaoqiu for seven hours under the pretext of open defecation! ”
Gao Changhe didn't take it too seriously: "Tian Liye and Hu Zaoqiu are classmates, so it's inevitable to make some jokes." ”
Wen Chunming almost jumped up: "Are you kidding? My tall secretary, Tian Liye almost missed our big event! The Germans are waiting in the international hotel, and I am still looking for Hu early autumn all over the world! ”
Gao Changhe was serious at this time, and wanted to scold Tian Liye for a few words, but in view of the lessons of Daming Company, he didn't dare to say anything, and only said: "Chunming, wait for me to understand the situation, and then settle accounts with him!" ”
Wen Chunming said: "Changhe, I can first say the ugly things in front, Tian Liye has always been the deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee, and he has to go back to the municipal party committee when he returns to the organ, and we don't have his seat here!" ”
Gao Changhe said vaguely: "Let's discuss it again, this matter has not been decided yet!" ”
Wen Chunming said: "I think it's better to settle down quickly, Secretary Hua Bo has clear instructions!" ”
Gao Changhe sighed: "But how can I talk to Tian Liye?" ”
Wen Chunming said: "Hey, what's so difficult about this? Just seize the matter of Linhu Town and deal with it seriously! ”
Gao Changhe thought about it and felt that it could only be like this.
After eating, when he returned to the Little Red Mansion, Gao Changhe met Tian Liye under the Little Red Mansion.
Tian Liye looked depressed, sat in the hall like a dog, saw Gao Changhe, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Gao ...... Secretary Gao, I ...... I've been waiting for you, I've been waiting for more than an hour, and I've hung up the phone to the provincial capital......"
Gao Changhe thought about "dealing with it seriously", his face was indifferent, he didn't look at Tian Liye, and walked upstairs by himself, while saying, "What are you waiting for me to do?" Report to me your experience in the construction of spiritual civilization in Linhu Town? Report your selflessness? It's not simple, Secretary Tian! To his old classmates and old friends, he is so principled, and ten days of full-time study is ten days! Good! Good! I would like to ask you to introduce this valuable experience to you at the city's party and government cadres conference! ”
Tian Liye also went upstairs with Gao Changhe, and his expression became more and more depressed: "Secretary Gao, I'm afraid that others will sue me first, so I'm waiting for you here, let's see, let people sue first!" I...... How could I be so unlucky! ”
Gao Changhe turned his head at the top of the stairs and said, "This time it's not someone else who reflects it to me, it's Mayor Wen!" ”
Tian Liye said with a sad face: "Mayor Wen is not a saint, and there are times when he makes mistakes!" He looks at people with old eyes and doesn't listen to me at all! And in fact...... the situation is like this" When he got upstairs and sat down on the sofa, Tian Liye endured his grievances and told him about the causes and consequences of the hostage incident in Linhu Town and how he dealt with it...... Secretary Gao, tell me, who did I recruit to provoke whom? Why do you want to work hard and do something well, but you are always in trouble? No one always trusts me? ”
Gao Changhe was silent, and only asked: "How did the lawless party secretary of Linhu Town deal with it?" ”
Tian Liye said: "I talked to Jinhua and a few of them, and I took him down first." ”
Gao Changhe nodded, and asked again: "What about the two small paper mills?" ”
Tian Liye said: "I am ready to take decisive measures immediately and smash all their pollution equipment!" It's not enough to just stick the seal, you stick it here, he tear it there, and start work secretly at night, only to smash it, so that they don't think about good things! ”
At this moment, the phone on the table rang.
Gao Changhe walked over to answer the phone and said, "That's right!" It's just to be smashed, these small papermaking equipment are a source of pollution wherever they are placed! As he spoke, he picked up the phone.
The call came from Liu Huabo.
Liu Huabo did not say a polite word, but immediately said: "Changhe, I would like to inform you of an important situation: This afternoon, heavy rainstorms fell in the upper reaches of the Changjiang River, and the disaster situation was very serious, and the provincial party committee was holding a meeting overnight to further study and make arrangements for the flood control work in Changjiang, and the leading comrades of the large military region also came to take part in it. Judging from the situation reported by Beichuan City and Changjiang City, the trouble is not small, some places along the river have already broken down, half of Changjiang City has been submerged in heavy water, and Comrade Ma Wanli has rushed to Changjiang overnight on behalf of the provincial party committee. ”
Gao Changhe was taken aback: "Secretary Hua Bo, is the situation so serious?" ”
Liu Huabo said: "It's so serious, this heavy rain has made the water surface of the rivers and lakes in our province tightened in an all-round way, and your life in Pingyang will not be better, and it is expected that the extremely heavy flood peak will arrive in Pingyang at about 16 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and the experts said that it will definitely exceed the highest water level in 1954, and you must make preparations overnight, inspect the dangerous sections, and ensure the absolute safety of Pingyang, and you can't soak Pingyang in the river for me!" ”
Gao Changhe said again and again: "Secretary Huabo, don't worry, don't worry, we will definitely be ready for battle!" ”
Liu Huabo said in an accentuated tone: "We must really be ready for battle, and we can't have the slightest paralysis in our thoughts!" In addition, on the issue of flood prevention and flood control, it is necessary to listen more to the opinions of Comrade Chaolin, who is an expert in this field. After the main flood season, Comrade Chaolin will go to work in the province, and during this period, you Xiaogao must not make trouble for me again! Comrade Chaolin also expressed to me and the provincial party committee that he would stand on the last shift and give you full support in fighting the battle of flood control. As for you, you must pay attention to protecting Comrade Chaolin, don't exhaust him! Now, Comrade Chaolin is rushing to Pingyang, and you will meet your heads as soon as Comrade Chaolin returns to Pingyang! ”
Gao Changhe responded and put down the phone.
After putting down the phone, Gao Changhe didn't have the heart to talk to Tian Liye anymore.
Tian Liye was still chattering: "...... Secretary Gao, although I am not to blame for what happened in Linhu Town, I am still ready to apologize to Hu Zaoqiu! After all, this happened in Lieshan, after all, I am the acting secretary of the Lieshan County Party Committee, and I still have to bear the leadership responsibility! ”
Gao Changhe could: "That's good, the posture should be a little higher." ”
Tian Liye wanted to say something, but Gao Changhe stopped the conversation: "Hey, Liye, let's not talk about the matter of Lieshan today, okay?" Now the top priority is to fight the flood, I ask you to help, first go back to the municipal party committee to help me grasp this work! I heard that when you were repairing the seawall, you were the leader of the youth commando team under Comrade Chaolin, didn't you? ”
Tian Liye was stunned: "What about Lieshan?" It's a lot of things! ”
Gao Changhe patted Tian Liye's shoulder cordially: "Who won't turn the earth without it?" Isn't there still Jinhua and them, by the way, Deputy Secretary Sun Yadong is also there, you can hand over all the work to them! ”
Tian Liye looked at Gao Changhe suspiciously: "Secretary Gao, are you ...... What do you mean? Should I be asked to go back to the agency to help temporarily, or should I be transferred back to the agency and let me continue to be the deputy secretary-general and be a minister? ”
Gao Changhe grabbed Tian Liye's shoulders and said with a smile: "Liye, don't think about good things, whether you can be a minister or not, I, I want you to be the deputy secretary general in charge of flood control, coordinate with the municipal party committee on the front line on my behalf, and fight side by side with Comrade Jiang Chaolin!" ”
Tian Liye understood, and his face suddenly turned gloomy: "So, the matter of Lieshan has nothing to do with me?" I, the acting secretary of the county party committee, stepped down after only three days? Secretary Gao, can you tell me clearly: what mistakes did I make? Others can't trust me, Secretary Gao, can't you trust me either? ”
Gao Changhe reluctantly smiled and said, "Liye, look at you, where did you go?" I can't trust you, will I let you help me fight the flood? Do you know that flood control is the overriding task at present, and Secretary Hua Bo explained on the phone just now, we must send elite soldiers and strong generals! ”
Tian Liye was unmoved: "Flood fighting is a temporary task, what should I do after fighting the flood?" ”
Gao Changhe said: "There are other things to do after fighting the flood, don't worry, as long as I am the secretary of the municipal party committee, you can't do it if you want to be a shopkeeper!" Go, go, don't ramble with me! Comrade Chaolin is now on his way back to Pingyang from the provincial capital, and he is about to come back, after you come back, you will go to Comrade Chaolin to report for duty, and then be a commando captain with him, and show Comrade Chaolin a look! ”
Tian Liye snorted and nodded to the question: "Secretary Gao, is the old secretary going to the province?" ”
Gao Changhe's face tensed: "What did the old secretary sue?" It was Secretary Hua Bo who talked to him and asked him to work in the province! ”
Tian Liye shook his head: "It's not that simple! Even if the old secretary is gone, he can't rest assured that I am a dump! ”
Gao Changhe said meaningfully: "So, you have to do a good job in front of the old secretary, don't leave the impression of a dump on the old secretary!" ”
Tian Liye was stunned for a moment, his eyes were red, and he smiled as if crying: "But why do I have to show the old secretary?" Secretary Gao, why do you care so much about the old secretary's impression of me? You tell you the truth: Do you think it was a mistake to send me to be the acting secretary of the Lieshan County Party Committee? Is it worth it to make such a stiff fuss with me and the old secretary? Regretted it? ”
Gao Changhe said sincerely: "I never thought it was a mistake to use you, and I never regretted it. As for some comrades, including Comrade Jiang Chaolin, who have opinions, they have never wavered in my determination. ”
Tian Liye choked back tears and said, "So I obey you, Secretary Gao!" You're the one who made my blood boil again! ”
Gao Changhe said: "Actually, Liye, your blood has never been cold, and it is hot now!" ”
Tian Liye wiped away his tears: "Secretary Gao, I know you are difficult, I won't say anything, I'll just go to be a commando, I'm not the captain, let the old secretary find someone he can trust!" I'm just a soldier, I should fill in the Changjiang River, I'll be the first to jump! ”
Gao Changhe grabbed Tian Liye's hand: "Nonsense! Liye, I can tell you, if you really have such an emotional relationship with me, stay on duty at the municipal party committee, don't go to the embankment! Really, I can't stand any grievances, what can I do in the future? You're only forty-two years old, you're retiring at sixty, and you've got eighteen years to do! ”
Tian Liye's face was full of sadness: "But I really don't understand, why do people like me have no way to serve the country?" ”
Gao Changhe said: "How can it be said that there is no way to serve the country? There are so many things that can be done to serve the country! Hey, Liye, I have to give you a reminder: the old secretary is leaving, don't be angry with him anymore, what do you listen to what he says, okay? You and the old secretary are still friends after all, and people have helped you sell 'daggers and throwing guns' in the past few years! ”
Tian Liye laughed and burst into tears: "Yes, we are friends, not comrades!" ”
Gao Changhe also laughed: "Oh? Friends and comrades are not the same thing, right? ”
Tian Liye stood up excitedly: "A friend is a friend, a comrade is a comrade, sometimes it's two different things!" Secretary Gao, I used to treat you as a comrade, today I treat you as a friend, we are friends and comrades! In any case, I have to thank you for developing me and allowing me to see a world of entrepreneurship and struggle to serve the country and the people. If you die as a confidant, you will borrow my head one day, and I will lend you Tian Liye! That's it! ”
Gao Changhe was also rarely excited, and hugged Tian Liye: "Okay, Liye, since you said so, then, for the sake of Pingyang, I, Gao Changhe, will borrow your blood in this life!" Let's go, now follow me to the flood control headquarters, Mayor Wen is on duty there, and we are waiting for Comrade Jiang Chaolin while studying and deploying flood control work! ”
