Tian Liye brought Li Xinxiang to Jinghu City and arranged for her to live in the Jinghu Municipal Party Committee Guest House, but Hu Zaoqiu, who had claimed on the phone that he wanted to welcome him, did not even see a ghost. There was no one in the mayor's office, the mobile phone was turned off, and Hu Zaoqiu did not reply to the pager, so angry that Tian Liye scolded his mother. Looking at the watch, it was already seven o'clock, Tian Liye decided not to wait, and took it upon himself to invite Li Xinxiang to Jinghu Snack Street for snacks.

Unexpectedly, shouting that the driver was about to leave, Hu Zaoqiu rushed to the door, and apologized when he entered the door: "Two, two, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Secretary Bai of our municipal party committee talked to me, it's late!" ”

Tian Liye said gloomily: "It's not too late, it's not too late, it's still early before dawn!" ”

Li Xinxiang also said: "Commander Hu, you shouldn't mean to fix us, right?" ”

Hu Zaoqiu snorted again and again: "How can it? I am the leader of the whole field, and I don't dare to rectify your leader Li! ”

When he went to the restaurant to eat, Hu Zaoqiu was still excited, looking for all kinds of wine that was irrigated and established. When Tian Liye was dazed, Liu Yiru's phone call came, saying that Gao Changhe, secretary of the municipal party committee, wanted to talk to him, and asked him to go to Gao Changhe's office on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning; Then, my wife's phone call came again, saying that two cadres had come from Lieshan, and they had also brought a lot of local products to visit him, the old leader. This made Tian Liye very confused, and he couldn't figure out what was going on? Gao Changhe must be a job transfer to talk to him, what are the comrades of Lieshan doing here? Could it be that his job transfer will have something to do with Lieshan? It's really confusing.

Hu Zaoqiu grinned and said, "Don't make trouble if you can't make trouble, Leader Tian, you just drink!" ”

Tian Liye instinctively felt that Hu Zaoqiu knew something, and after dinner, he sent Li Xinxiang back to the room, and asked Hu Zaoqiu in a joking tone: "Commander Hu, where did your brother's happiness come from today?" ”

Hu Zaoqiu said: "Happiness comes from the care of the municipal party committee, after so many years of hard work, the municipal party committee finally saw it!" You know? This afternoon, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee just met and removed the word 'deputy' from me and made me the acting mayor, as our Secretary Bai told me! Then he sighed, "Gao Changhe is really good, I haven't gone to him once, he doesn't know me at all, but he mentioned me, there is justice in the world, I really believe it." ”

Tian Liye smiled: "Oh, you kid has really changed from seven grades to seven grades?" So, what kind words I said about you in front of Secretary Gao still played a role? ”

Hu Zaoqiu scolded with a smile: "Liye, can you say good things about me in front of the leader?" Don't give me eye drops, I'll be thankful! After a pause, he said, "However, this time I am still inferior to you, you are the number one leader of Lieshan County and the acting secretary of the county party committee, take a look, Secretary Gao has a stomach, right?" I know that you have a close relationship with Secretary Jiang, and people mention you! What is it called? Call employing people to be virtuous! If you don't accept it, my comrade! ”

Although Tian Liye was a little mentally prepared, when he heard Hu Zaoqiu say this at this time, he still felt a little sudden, and looked at Hu Zaoqiu in a daze and asked, "What?" What the? Acting secretary of the Lieshan County Party Committee? I? You didn't drink much, did you? ”

Hu Zaoqiu said with a big grin: "I didn't drink too much, Secretary Bai said." Secretary Bai also said, your brother will be the acting secretary of the Lieshan County Party Committee, and the relationship between our Jinghu and you Lieshan will be beneficial. Geng Zijing's kid can't do it, even if he doesn't engage in corruption, the cowhide is too big, and he doesn't recognize anyone in the entire Pingyang City except for Secretary Jiang Chaolin. Your two small paper factories in Linhu Town have been discharging sewage into Jinghu Lake, and the dogs have refused to admit it, and they also say that the northern half of the lake is a scorching mountain, and they fight every year and hurt people every year......"

Tian Liye didn't have the heart to listen anymore, and said: "Commander Hu, don't tell me this yet, now I am not the acting secretary of the Lieshan County Party Committee, and I don't know what is going on with the small paper factory and the North Half Lake, don't lie to me......"

Hu Zaoqiu was entangled: "Why did you lie to you?" Old classmate, you've been lying to me since I was in college, right? When did I lie to you? Let's do this, as soon as your brother takes office, the main leading members of our two teams will have a friendship activity, okay? ”

Tian Liye coped: "Let's talk about it, let's talk about it." ”

When I drove back to my home in Pingyang, it was already past ten o'clock at night, and two "old subordinates" from Lieshan had already left, leaving behind four bottles of Wuliangye, four Yuxi cigarettes, and a large pile of local products.

Jiao Jiao told Tian Liye in a sarcastic tone: "You two old subordinates are really a pair of living treasures!" As soon as he entered the door, he showed his loyalty, and scolded Geng Zijing and Zhao Chengquan like a game, saying that in the past few years, the bad people in Lieshan have been in charge, and the good people have been angry. Entrepreneurship, how? Are you really going to Lieshan to be the secretary of the county party committee? ”

Tian Liye nodded, and said with some reserve: "There is such a saying!" Looking at the table full of gifts, I felt angry in my heart, and scolded as soon as I opened my mouth, "These two babies are good comrades from the country?" It's been six years since I was transferred out of Lieshan, and they didn't come to see me once, but when they heard that I was going back to Lieshan, they came right away. Wife, why don't you let them take their things away? Disgusting not disgusting! ”

Jiao Jiao said: "You think I don't feel disgusting? I told them to take them away, but they didn't do anything! ”

Tian Liye said indignantly: "Okay, I'll tell them to walk around if they can't eat!" ”

Jiao Jiao slapped her face: "Secretary Tian, what is a model of clean government, I finally saw one today!" ”

Tian Liye snorted: "Wife, in the future, you will often see this kind of scene of resisting corrosion and never getting wet." ”

With that, he dialed the phone.

Jiao Jiao asked, "It's so late, who to call?" Is it the old secretary or the new secretary? ”

Tian Liye said: "Of course, it is the new secretary. When I dialed the phone, I sighed again, "Secretary Gao is really unpredictable, I thought he was going to fix me and get me to a ghost place like the flat rolling mill, but I didn't expect that he would send me to Lieshan to preside over the work!" ”

Jiao Jiao said: "You spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" ”

At this time, the phone was dialed, and when Gao Changhe heard that it was Tian Liye, he immediately said: "Tian Xiucai, about your work arrangement, it seems that I don't need to inform you, right?" The Reuters news is out, isn't it? ”

Tian Liye said honestly: "Yes, Secretary Gao, I heard about it in Jinghu. ”

Gao Changhe asked, "What do you think?" With such a large county of millions of people, the burden is not light. ”

Tian Liye said: "Secretary Gao, to be honest, I was not mentally prepared at all, it was very sudden. Secretary Gao, do you want to reconsider, is it appropriate for me to preside over the work in Lieshan? After all, it's been six years since I left Lieshan, and Lieshan has changed so much, plus Geng Zijing and Zhao Chengquan have had an accident with both teams, in case I can't stand up to it, let others see the jokes of you and the municipal party committee, I can't talk about it, I'm really a little scared now! ”

Gao Changhe smiled: "Tian Xiucai, you are rarely humble!" Not bad, not bad! It's good to have this kind of sincere and fearful mood, I came to Binh Duong with this kind of mood, you can learn more from me! Next, his tone became serious, "Tian Liye, you can remember for me, from now on, your identity is different, no longer the minister of the ministry, but the acting secretary of the Lieshan County Party Committee, and you are responsible for the safety of the party in Lieshan." If there is any problem in Lieshan, the municipal party committee is the only one who asks! ”

Tian Liye was also serious: "Secretary Gao, I will report to you and the municipal party committee at any time." ”

Gao Changhe said: "That's good. Now the situation in Lieshan is rather complicated, the party and government teams are rotten, and the corruption case in Lieshan is a big and important case, and the provincial and municipal party committees are all staring at it, and your new team must fully cooperate in handling the case. Your task at present is to make great determination to do a good job in the work of fighting corruption and advocating clean government, straighten out the working relationship as soon as possible, and stabilize people's minds. People's hearts cannot be confused, and when people's hearts are confused, nothing can be done. ”

Tian Liye immediately said: "Secretary Gao, don't worry, County Magistrate Jin and I will pay attention to this issue." ”

Gao Changhe sighed: "Liye, today, I also tell you frankly that the comrades' opinions on your going to Lieshan to preside over the work are not so unanimous, and it is I who have persuaded everyone." As I said, the organization didn't give you a stage in the past, so you can't blame you for not singing well. Today's stage is for you, let you go to Lieshan as the protagonist, you have to sing a few good plays with milk, you have to risk your life to sing, get back the wasted six years, and you can't waste your life anymore! ”

Tian Liye was a little excited: "Secretary Gao, I'm ...... I promise! ”

After the call, Tian Liye was stunned for a long time before gently putting down the phone.

Jiao Jiao asked with concern: "What did Secretary Gao say?" ”

Tian Liye said impatiently: "Don't ask too much about work!" ”

Jiao Jiao reminded: "How should I carry out my work, do you want to listen to the old secretary's advice?" ”

Tian Liye remembered that he hadn't told Jiang Chaolin about this yet. So he made another phone call to the coastal gold coast and asked the old secretary if he knew about his job transfer?

Jiang Chaolin said: "I know that Comrade Changhe told me that the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee studied and decided this afternoon. ”

Tian Liye asked: "The old secretary, what do you say I should do when I go to Lieshan?" Geng Zijing and Zhao Chengquan have problems, but I'm afraid that they won't even be able to find someone to explain their work! ”

Jiang Chaolin said: "Yes, Lieshan is really panicking now, have you heard, the cadres of Lieshan don't say hello when they meet now, they all ask each other, 'You didn't have an accident, right?' Tell me, is it appropriate for you to preside over the work in such a complicated situation? Can it stand up? To tell you the truth, Liye, I'm worried about you! ”

Tian Liye was a little surprised, he didn't expect the old secretary to have such an attitude.

Jiang Chaolin said emotionally: "Liye, for so many years, I have always treated you as my own child, whether it is scolding you or criticizing you, it is for your good." Today, I also have to tell you frankly: I am opposed to you going to Lieshan to preside over the work. Why? Still for your good. ”

Tian Liye didn't feel good in his heart, but he could only say yes again and again on the phone.

Jiang Chaolin is still unsatisfied: "What is the purpose of Gao Changhe's doing this? I think there are only two possibilities, first, give me a favor; Second, play you as a card. Gao Changhe doesn't admit that it's a favor, that's playing cards? Won the battle and scored points, and lost the 1.1 million people of Lieshan to pay tuition! In this regard, you Tian Liye must be sober! ”

Tian Liye didn't expect the old secretary's opinion to be so intense, he broke out in a cold sweat, and asked repeatedly: "Old secretary, what do you say?" You know, it's not me who ran to the office, it's the decision of the municipal party committee......"

Jiang Chaolin said: "You don't have to take office, if you can't be this kind of local leader, don't support it, if you really want to do it right, you can go to our Municipal People's Congress to be the secretary general, and I will suggest to Gao Changhe and the Municipal Party Committee when the term of office is changed next year." ”

Tian Liye couldn't help but say: "Old secretary, I don't necessarily can't be this kind of local official, you haven't asked me to do it, how do you know that I can't do it?" At least compared with Geng Zijing and Zhao Chengquan, I'm not too bad, right? At least not as greedy as they are, right? ”

Jiang Chaolin was unceremoniously: "The requirements for the number one leader of a county are not only one clean government, but also many contents!" The 1.1 million people want to eat, clothe, survive, and develop, and they will soon cross the century. Tian Xiucai, this is not for you to write an article, you can do whatever you want, the slightest negligence, the common people will suffer, and our Communist Party will be scolded! ”

Tian Liye was really angry and said: "Old secretary, please rest assured, I think I won't let the people suffer if I go to Lieshan, let alone let the Communist Party be scolded!" Now it is Geng Zijing who has been protecting the Communist Party who has been protecting! ”

Jiang Chaolin was also very popular: "Tian Liye, let me tell you, it is precisely because I used the wrong Geng Zijing that I don't want to see you used the wrong thing in the organization again!" You will ignore me from now on, an old fellow, and I will say: It is very inappropriate for you to go to Lieshan to preside over the work! Gao Changhe can use you as a card, but I don't play your card! ”

Tian Liye did not back down: "Old secretary, I think you are wrong, I Tian Liye has never been anyone's hand, I am just a party member and cadre who wants to do something practical, today the municipal party committee gave me this opportunity, I have to bet on my life to do it, you can criticize if you don't do it well, you can't stop me from doing it......"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Chaolin had already hung up the phone.

Jiao Jiao said cautiously: "Liye, call the old secretary again and explain?" ”

Tian Liye threw the microphone and shook his head disapprehantly: "Forget it, forget it, this old man is on fire now, and he will still quarrel if he fights again, let's talk about it later......"

This night, Tian Liye rarely had insomnia, lying in bed over and over again and never falling asleep, with a lot of thoughts. In front of him for a while, Jiang Chaolin for a while, Gao Changhe for a while, and Geng Zijing and Zhao Chengquan for a while. The scenes that happened in the past and present of Lieshan swirled around in my mind like a movie. Six years ago, if it wasn't for the old secretary Jiang Chaolin protecting Geng Zijing, he would not have left Lieshan, and he would have killed him again tomorrow, and I don't know if it was a blessing or a curse?
