After Qi Moran, the former deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, was "shuanggui" by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the newly appointed Comrade Zhong Chao adjusted the provincial party committee team and let Deputy Secretary Tong take charge of Qi Moran's original work. The sudden shaking of the Heyang team has already given Deputy Secretary Tong a headache, but it is someone else who bothers him the most.

The car was speeding on the highway to Sanhe City, and Ma Qiming's mood was still depressed. From yesterday to now, Ma Qiming's mood has always been in a kind of grievance that seems to be painful and angry, and he never dreamed that the provincial party committee would come and suddenly remove him from the post of deputy commander of the Jingshan Development Zone and move him to Sanhe. The decision shocked him so much that he was almost speechless.

Ma Qiming believes that this is related to the on-site meeting held half a month ago.

Half a month ago, the Jingshan Development Zone held an on-site meeting in the No. 2 construction section, and the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee Tong was personally present, accompanied by Xu Dakang, the commander-in-chief of the development zone and the mayor of Jingshan City, as well as leaders from the provincial construction department and the provincial planning commission. The No. 2 construction section is a demonstration project in the development zone, which is personally grasped by Deputy Commander Zeng, and Ma Qiming rarely comes here. Mayor Xu Dakang gave a detailed introduction to Deputy Secretary Tong of the construction process of the No. 2 construction section, and also led Deputy Secretary Tong to visit the newly built Development Zone Office Building, Science and Technology Information City, etc. Deputy Secretary Tong looked very happy and kept affirming the construction of the development zone. At the moment when both the host and guest walked towards the conference hall with relaxed smiles, Ma Qiming suddenly pointed to the crowd not far away who were forcibly blocked by the staff of the development zone and said, "What happened there?" It didn't matter if he asked, Mayor Xu Dakang's face suddenly turned green, and his expression was almost frozen. Deputy Secretary Tong, who had already stepped up the steps of the conference hall, also stopped, glanced at Xu Dakang, and said, "Go over and have a look." ”

This look completely smashed the joyful atmosphere of the on-site meeting.

Before Deputy Secretary Tong arrived, they forcibly broke through the wall of people who prevented them and pounced on Deputy Secretary Tong, claiming that if they did not pay their wages today, they would not let Deputy Secretary Tong leave. Xu Dakang's face turned from green to black, and a scorching flame burst out of his face. Deputy Commander Zeng was even more confused, and shouted at his subordinates: "Get people away quickly." At that time, Deputy Secretary Tong didn't speak, but his eyes kept sweeping over the faces of several of them. If Ma Qiming didn't add to the chaos again, maybe the outcome of the matter would not be so bad, but he couldn't hold it back, pointed to the leading migrant worker and said: "Come here, if there is any problem, talk slowly, don't open your mouth and close your mouth and shout that you can't live." ”

This lecture shook out the long-term arrears of wages for migrant workers in the No. 2 construction section, and the site will be suspended because of this. Deputy Secretary Tong instructed the Construction Department to immediately organize forces to investigate the matter. At the investigation meeting, Ma Qiming once again fired at Xu Dakang and Deputy Commander Zeng, revealing the many frauds he had heard and seen, and Xu Dakang was so angry that he slapped the table. To say that Ma Qiming was the deputy commander at the beginning, and Xu Dakang personally ordered the general, why didn't he give Mayor Xu face at all at a critical time?

Ma Qiming himself couldn't figure it out, of course, he had no bad motive to deliberately smear Mayor Xu, he just didn't want to see the bad scene of using a stick to open the migrant workers like dogs. All they begged for was that pitiful little coolie money! It's true that money is tight, but can that be a reason? According to his Ma Qiming's understanding, if he is so nervous that he can't even pay the wages of migrant workers, this development zone would rather not be built! Besides, he is also the deputy commander, and he knows better than anyone whether he is nervous or not. It's too black-hearted! I remember that he slapped the table at Mayor Xu at that time, and slapped out his dissatisfaction and anger.

Afterwards, everyone said that he Ma Qiming was a little too much, and he shouldn't play this game in front of Deputy Secretary Tong, let alone be in the limelight alone, and wipe out everyone's credit in the development zone. Ma Qiming himself also regretted a little, he didn't think that things would make such a big fuss, Deputy Secretary Tong suspended Xu Dakang on the spot, and then held another on-site meeting to investigate many things he said excitedly at the investigation meeting, which revealed the unknown side of the development zone.

The development zone is full of complaints, and the voice of denouncing Ma Qiming is higher than the sound of bulldozers. Ma Qiming had a premonition that something was not good, but he never imagined that the final outcome of the matter would be like this, the development zone was collectively replaced, and he himself was transferred to Sanhe City to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee.

I'm not convinced! Ma Qiming said so heavily in his heart.

He said this in front of Deputy Secretary Tong yesterday. After the head of the organization department tactfully conveyed to him the decision just made by the provincial party committee, Ma Qiming's first thought was to be stabbed. Just because he crowed a few more times than the other cocks, and because he dared to stick his neck out, the knife was put on his neck.

Deputy Secretary Tong didn't explain much, just stared at him meaningfully for a while, and then said calmly: "Sending you to Sanhe City is also a matter of repeated deliberations by the provincial party committee, and the work of the development zone is important, but you are studying politics and law, so you should go to a position that is more suitable for you." ”

A better location for you? Ma Qiming in the car suddenly smiled, a little sad and a little bleak.

Ma Qiming is a highly talented student of the Department of Political Science and Law of Northwest University, and was directly assigned to the Political and Legal Committee of the Provincial Party Committee after graduation, starting from the secretary and working all the way to the director. In the year when Deputy Secretary Tong served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Ma Qiming was sent to a county as a county magistrate, which was the first contact with the grassroots. He spent two years there, and just experienced a completely different life from the provincial party committee compound, and a paper order withdrew him to continue to work in the political and legal committee. At that time, Deputy Secretary Tong had become a powerful faction in the province, and his future was immeasurable, so Ma Qiming carefully accompanied him and played the role of secretary. But this secretary always causes trouble, and always pokes out some things that shouldn't be poked out, which makes Deputy Secretary Tong very passive several times. Ma Qiming still remembers the appearance of Deputy Secretary Tong teaching him. Deputy Secretary Tong seems to be never tepid, but there is a majesty in his eyes that cannot be disobeyed. One of the words he criticized Ma Qiming the most was, when can you stabilize yourself, it is far from enough to rely on passion alone, what is passion, for those who achieve great things, passion is poison!

Someone who has achieved great things? Ma Qiming shook his head, he didn't think about anything big at all, he just wanted to live according to his wishes in this life. Yes, their own wishes. But Ma Qiming found more and more that this thing is a bit difficult, especially for a person who has strayed into the official career, this way of living is simply torturous. There is always something that forces you to give up, to go in the opposite direction of your desires. But Ma Qiming is unwilling!

Willing to be unwilling to let him be, just like now, despite his 100,000 reluctance, he obediently got into the car and rushed to take office. What's the solution?

Ma Qiming smiled bitterly, thinking about the road he had traveled, he was really emotional.

Not long after returning to the Political and Legal Committee, he caused a storm because of one incident. As a last resort, Deputy Secretary Tong once again sent him to the county. This time it was a poorer county, and he was named as the secretary of the county party committee. Ma Qiming himself doesn't feel bitter, there is no difference between a poor county and a rich county for him, he likes the feeling of saying it himself. But two years later, Deputy Secretary Tong recalled him, and he was disciplined without asking about it. Ma Qiming did not show deference this time, but stood up very unceremoniously.

What am I doing wrong? In the past two years, I have increased the per capita income of farmers by more than 300 yuan, rescued three state-owned enterprises, built two rural roads, and solved the problem of arrears of teachers' salaries for five years.

Deputy Secretary Tong sighed: "Of course, what you said is right. If you talk about political achievements alone, you should be praised, and you can't praise it too much. However, you have committed a big taboo. You shouldn't be unruly. Think about it, within a year, you removed and replaced 43 leaders of ministries and bureaus, and the old county magistrate was so angry that he was hospitalized. That's not all, you dare to put a very bad reputation courtesan in one step to the position of director of tourism, causing a stir. If this continues, what are you going to do! ”

Courtesan? Ma Qiming glared at the old leader who he regarded as his mentor in astonishment, and said a little impulsively: "Even you think so? She is capable, and she is many times stronger than those wine and meat cadres who stand in the pit and don't. Why can't I promote her? ”

Can you mention it? Deputy Secretary Tong slowed down his breath and said earnestly: "My Secretary Ma, don't forget when, there are rules for everything, and breaking the rules and acting independently is not a choice for a person who has achieved great things." ”

"I don't want to be a big deal!" Ma Qiming almost yelled at Deputy Secretary Tong. With this roar, he was completely hung up by Deputy Secretary Tong, and he was arranged to be a political and legal magazine under the Political and Legal Committee as a deputy editor-in-chief, which can be regarded as a painless life for more than a year. It wasn't until the development zone selected cadres and Xu Dakang asked for deputy secretary Tong that Ma Qiming returned to his fiery life.

Unexpectedly, this time, he got the same fate.

"What an unrepentant repentance!" Deputy Secretary Tong said that he hated iron and steel.

"I will not repent." Ma Qiming said as if he was fighting with someone. Finding that he was in the car, Ma Qiming retracted his thoughts a little sadly, he was really reluctant to develop the zone, and he planned to work hard there, integrate his talent and wisdom into the construction of the development zone, and truly build a new Jingshan City rich in the characteristics of the times and the spirit of striving for flight. It was not in vain for him to walk in this fiery land.

Forget it, everything has passed, and I don't know what kind of landscape is waiting for him.

The mobile phone rang, and when he heard it, it was the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, telling him that they had arrived in Sanhe. Ma Qiming said "um" and didn't say anything more. The provincial party committee is like rushing a duck to the shelves, it was just announced yesterday, and today it is forced to take office, and in order to show its grandeur, it also specially asked the head of the organization department to come and announce it. This specification, I'm afraid that only he Ma Qiming can enjoy.

The car shook violently, as if it was about to eject off the road. Ma Qiming was startled for a moment, and hurriedly asked the driver what was going on? The driver exclaimed, "It's a motorcycle, crossing the highway." Ma Qiming poked out his gaze and really saw a motorcycle flying away. The rider was a young man from a rural area, his hair was blown by the wind, and he looked very imposing. He scolded unhappily: "I really don't understand the rules, how can the highway be crossed?" ”

The driver steadied himself and said: "The highways in this area are like this, wherever they pass through the village, the villagers cut the guardrail and force it to cross, and there have been many accidents." ”

Ma Qiming let out an "oh" and found that the car had arrived at the boundary of the Three Rivers. He is no stranger to this land, he worked under Deputy Secretary Tong and accompanied him several times. His impression of Mikawa is that it is a typical agricultural city with a small economy. People's ideas are like those of young people crossing the street, with a kind of self-righteous publicity. Of course, he hopes that after all these years of development, Mikawa will change. The car traveled for a while, and when it was about to reach Wushui County, there was a traffic jam in front, and black vehicles filled the road. The driver sighed and slowly stopped the car. Ma Qiming looked at his watch, it was 11 o'clock in the morning, and there were still 40 minutes before the time he had agreed with the head of the organization department. They plan to meet with city leaders at 11:40 a.m., then have lunch and make an announcement at a meeting in the afternoon. Ma Qiming has always looked at these procedures very lightly, didn't he just take office, why is it necessary to be so grand?

The car stopped for twenty minutes, and there was no movement from the car in front of it. Ma Qiming was a little impatient and asked the driver to go down to see if it was a car accident or something else. After about 20 minutes, the driver came in a panic, saying that it was not good, Secretary Ma, someone in front of him was petitioning.

Petition? Running the highway to petition? Ma Qiming felt incredible.

The driver snorted and didn't dare to answer immediately. However, his face was very bad, as if he had been suddenly frightened, and he turned pale.

"What the hell is going on?" Ma Qiming suddenly felt something, and asked in a sharp voice.

"Yes...... It's ......"

"What is it?"

"Secretary Ma, someone is looking for you to complain under a sign." The driver finally stammered the situation ahead. After hearing this, Ma Qiming resolutely jumped out of the car, and walked forward regardless of what the driver shouted behind. Sure enough, the further you went, the more cars there became, and the people were surrounded by black and oppressive. In addition to the people on the blocked vehicles, there were also people who ran around to see the excitement. When Ma Qiming walked up, he saw a young woman kneeling in the middle of the road, about 30 years old. Holding a card with both hands, a few big words were written on it: Ask Ma Zhengfa to redress my grievances.

Ma Zhengju? Ma Qiming's eyes were burned by these three words, and his mind flashed quickly, who is this woman, how do you know that I am going to pass by today? He squeezed forward, only to find that there were two old men in the middle of the road, like a couple. The old man held a thick stack of papers in his hand, and every time he drove by, he stuffed a few into it. He also asked through the car window: "Are you a newcomer to Ma Zhengfa?" Seeing the people in the car shaking their heads, the old man's face showed deep disappointment. However, he seemed to be very stubborn, and he had to ask one by one. It is the stubbornness of the old man that causes so many cars to be jammed on the road. On the other side of the road, the old lady was kneeling with a little girl in her arms, and a long white cloth was spread out in front of her, on which were written in black letters. Ma Qiming squeezed over, looked at the white cloth, and his heart was suddenly clenched.

The woman kneeling in the middle of the road is called Su Zi, a very beautiful name. His husband's name is Tao Shi, a car driver, who was involved in a traffic accident and was detained in a detention center for investigation. Unexpectedly, her husband Tao Shi was beaten to death in the detention center by the prison bully. Su Zi petitioned everywhere, demanding that the murderer be severely punished and redress her husband's grievances. Her tears were sprinkled all over the long road to petition, but the prison bully Xiaoniu was acquitted and walked swaggering down the street. How could she be willing? She didn't believe that her husband's blood could be shed in vain, and she didn't believe that the Communist Party would let the soul die in vain. However, in this world, who can make decisions for her?

Another unjust soul!

Seeing this, Ma Qiming took a breath of cold air. At this time, he heard a lot of discussion from the crowd on the side, saying that Su Zi had been kneeling every day for several months, and her knees had broken several layers of skin, and her husband's affairs had still not been dealt with fairly. "Darkness!" Someone sighed fiercely and turned away. Ma Qiming didn't dare to stay long, quietly withdrew, and walked back with a heavy heart. This time, he didn't have any passion, he felt like he was running away, and he couldn't stand Su Zi who was kneeling. However, in front of so many people, he just stood up, what promise could he give her?

Commitment is not something you can do if you want to!

Ma Qiming was a little sad.

However, he firmly remembered the name "Su Zi".
