June 26, 1998, 10 a.m., Provincial People's Hospital

Geng Zijing took the mobile phone, and when he walked into the ward again, his face was very ugly, and he said angrily to Zhao Chengquan who was lying on the hospital bed: "Old Zhao, tell me, what is this deputy county magistrate Jin, ah?" A yellow-haired girl with a milky smell that has not dried up, there are still a lot of problems! Yesterday, at the Standing Committee of the county party committee, I competed with me for a long time for the promotion of Hou Shaojun, and today I tracked down Lin Ping, and gave her 8,000 yuan for nothing, but offended her! ”

Zhao Chengquan asked: "Was it Lin Ping's phone just now?" ”

Geng Zijing nodded, and said, "It's also your fault, I said don't give her dividends, you just insist." ”

Zhao Chengquan sneered: "They are all in the same team, do you think this kind of thing can be hidden for a long time?" She is also the executive deputy county magistrate, and the benefits in our team are not distributed to her, and it is even worse for her to know. Zijing, how did you deal with it? ”

Geng Zijing said angrily: "I asked Lin Ping to take back the eight thousand yuan!" ”

Zhao Chengquan said: "Isn't this trying to cover up!" He sighed and said, "Zijing, to be honest, I'm really not sure." Secretary Jiang and Mayor Wen repeatedly said several times at the city's cadre meeting that we are still doing this secretly, and as long as it is spread out, we will be criticized and punished. I'm the one who is going to die, it doesn't matter, Zijing, what are you going to do? Do you really want this seven-grade black yarn? ”

Geng Zijing didn't care: "Isn't it just to get some benefits for comrades?" What's the big deal?! ”

Zhao Chengquan said patiently: "Now the situation has changed, the secretary of the municipal party committee is Gao Changhe, and if we really find out that we are involved in business activities and mess with welfare, maybe we are really caught as a typical example." In my opinion, it's better to stop this welfare, it's better to stop early, Lin Ping let her go by herself, she didn't want to do it, and went back to work in the county party committee. ”

Geng Zijing had a dark face, was silent, and didn't say a word.

Zhao Chengquan looked at Geng Zijing fixedly, and said earnestly: "Zijing, will you listen to my persuasion this time?" ”

Geng Zijing said upsetly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you this time, so let's decide!" Each of us took back the 6,000 yuan of shares, and divided the 300,000 yuan accumulated in the account at one time, and this kind of welfare will never be done again in the future! ”

Zhao Chengquan was stunned: "Why is there so much money in the account?" This is divided again, one person is twenty or thirty thousand, right? Isn't it hot? Zijing, I advise you to be cautious. ”

Geng Zijing was excited, walking back and forth in the ward: "What's wrong with twenty or thirty thousand?" Dude, you're tired like this, shouldn't you take these two or thirty thousand? Don't say it's your investment dividend, even if it's given to you, you should take it! If it weren't for your hard work day and night, where would you come to Lieshan New Area? How many indiscriminate guys in the new area have made a fortune, what have you left behind? Terminally ill! You know what? As soon as I heard that you fell in the provincial capital, I took sleeping pills three times in one night and didn't fall asleep! I'm so distressed! Lao Zhao, let me ask you, what will happen to your wife and children if you go? Your Daming is going to high school this year, right? Do I need to spend money to enter a provincial key middle school? Do I have to spend money to go to college in three years? Who will they rely on in the future? ”

Zhao Chengquan's face twitched, and muddy tears rolled out of his eyes.

Geng Zijing said: "Just dispose of the 300,000 at once, I'm in charge!" This time, not according to the shares, according to the contribution, even if it is the bonus of the past few years, your county magistrate Zhao has contributed the most, more points, 50,000 yuan, I will carry it if something happens! ”

Zhao Chengquan choked back tears and said, "Don't, don't, that...... Then let's divide it according to the shares......"

Geng Zi waved his hand: "Don't worry about this matter, we have worked together, and we get along so well, I have to do my best, at least I can't let you work hard all your life and leave with worries and regrets!" ”

Zhao Chengquan grabbed Geng Zijing's hand and couldn't cry......

Geng Zijing's eyes were also red, he sat down in front of Zhao Chengquan's bed, and said emotionally: "Old Zhao, the ancients said that it is enough to have a confidant in life, and I am content with such a confidant as you." How many local teams are not united, because of a good county magistrate like you, who does not fight for power and profit, and only knows how to do practical things, there has never been a big contradiction! Even Secretary Jiang Chaolin said to me in person, 'Zijing, if you don't even have Zhao Chengquan united, don't be the number one leader, I'm afraid that the whole Pingyang will never find an honest county magistrate like Zhao Chengquan again.'" ”

Zhao Chengquan raised his face and said, "Zijing, you ...... You mentioned Secretary Jiang Chaolin, I ...... I remembered, let's ...... We have to send someone to see Secretary Jiang, even if it's to say hello?! You just said that we are losing, isn't Secretary Jiang losing? Pingyang has become this kind of style, look at his home, which point is better than us? He's down now, so if we can help him, we'll ......."

Geng Zijing hurriedly interrupted Zhao Chengquan's words and said, "Hey, hey, Lao Zhao, look at you, you're confused again, right?" Who is Secretary Jiang, and who dares to give him a gift? Isn't it interesting? You forgot? When I delivered New Year's goods door-to-door the year before last, I was scolded at Secretary Jiang's house? Don't remember?! After thinking about it, he said, "To this old man, just go and see the table and be loyal, I will go in person, and also represent you, okay?" ”

Zhao Chengquan choked up and said, "Say hello to Secretary Jiang on my behalf." ”

Seeing that Zhao Chengquan was a little tired, Geng Zijing stood up and said goodbye. walked to the door of the ward, remembered something, turned back, and said, "Lao Zhao, have you read the big article that praised you in the provincial newspaper yesterday?" The title is very loud, "Our Shoulders Carry the Rising New District", which is really well written......"

Zhao Chengquan was stunned: "It's still ...... Is it really sent out? ”

Geng Zijing nodded: "So, I want to discuss with you, I and the county party committee must establish you, and prepare to further report your deeds to the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee and the Provincial Party Committee, and give a positive answer to those rumors......

Zhao Chengquan's face changed suddenly: "Don't, don't, Zijing, I beg you!" Don't do that! You can't do that. Speaking from the heart, Zijing, I feel ashamed, I always feel sorry for Secretary Jiang and the Municipal Party Committee! ”

Before Zhao Chengquan, who was terminally ill, Geng Zijing was still as domineering as usual: "Lao Zhao, this matter was decided at yesterday's Standing Committee, if you are ashamed, don't say it, just take care of your illness!" The propaganda of you is because you have made great efforts and made great contributions to the economic construction of our Lieshan, and at the same time, it is also a political need! ”
