Chapter 31: Backhand digging
Qin Daming led everyone out of the township government compound and went to the restaurant to eat.
To Chen Youwei's surprise, Qin Daming did not lead everyone to Yingzi's restaurant, but came to Wang Jianmin's restaurant on the street.
Chen Youwei, who instantly understood the joints, sighed again and again, it seems that everyone is not a good head, this Qin Daming brought Liu Wangen, who did not understand the current situation of Xiaohe Township at all, to come here for dinner, there is no doubt that this is digging a pit for the other party!
Wang Jianmin, who is backed by the mountain of Huang Shijun, must have no intention of continuing to stay in this remote and impoverished Xiaohe Township, and the money for this meal is not good and he is in arrears. If there are long-term debts in previous years that have not been repaid, I am afraid that the first thing Liu Wangen will do when he takes office is how to deal with the debt collection of large debtors like Wang Jianmin. Thinking about it, I know that if I really fall into this sea of swords and fires that are chased and intercepted by creditors, Liu Wangen will be annoyed to death.
Wang Jianmin, the essence of the person, saw Liu Wangen being surrounded by everyone and walked into the restaurant, his eyes smiled into a slit to greet him, and he couldn't see the frustration of his backstage transfer out of Xiaohe Township at all.
"Welcome, welcome, this is Secretary Liu, right? Please sit inside! Wang Jianmin smiled and personally handed cigarettes and poured tea to Liu Wangen and others.
"Secretary Liu, this is Boss Wang, the game here is well done, and many people in the township eat here." Lin Dong smiled and said first: "Boss Wang, Secretary Liu came to your place for dinner on the first day he came to our Xiaohe Township today, you have to take care of it and get out all your skills." ”
Wang Jianmin couldn't smile from ear to ear, he naturally didn't expect that the new official's reception banquet would still choose him, and he was extremely shrewd and calculated in his heart, if he could do a good job with the new secretary, presumably the business would be able to continue in the future, and there would be no need to hesitate about whether to close the business or move to the county seat.
Although he knew that this debt was enough to make his small life difficult, he was accustomed to and familiar with the huge profits behind this kind of business, which really made Wang Jianmin stop doing it now, and he was really reluctant. I have to say that Wang Jianmin really began to look forward to the good days of the past to continue.
Qin Daming watched Lin Dong perform there with a cold eye, smoking silently and not saying too much, others may think that he was using cigarettes to drown his sorrows. Only Chen Youwei laughed secretly, this seemingly bold township elder played with his heart and gave people a set of skills, the level is not low, it is said that it is a bit of a retribution, but this front suffered a loss, and immediately after the backhand, the crisp and neat attack is really admirable.
Perhaps this is the characteristic of the so-called power struggle at the grassroots level in townships and towns, and there is no such thing as a gentleman taking revenge for ten years is not too late!
Glancing at the few people who were currying favor in front of Liu Wangen, Chen Youwei was thinking, it seemed that this new secretary had really been in the compound of the organ for a long time, and he didn't know much about the situation of this grassroots work. If this is the case, Qin Daming, the second-in-command of the township chief, may still have a chance to compete with the other party.
It's just that Chen Youwei thought of the kind of open-mindedness that Liu Wangen showed when he chatted with him before, and he hesitated for a while. With a blurry look in his eyes through the rising green smoke, Chen Youwei saw Qin Daming talking to Chen Guangming, the deputy head of the township beside him.
Thinking of Chen Guangming's vague performance in Yingzi's restaurant, and then looking at Lin Dong's unscrupulous Ha Lu Ha Da Lu next to Liu Wangen, Chen Youwei suddenly knew in his heart. Since everyone is just forming a gang for power, then why should I care about who to cooperate with. As long as one of you can be beneficial to you, then cooperate with them, and as long as you can cooperate with the other person to benefit your own work, then you will be fine. As for the others, they are all floating clouds!
Throwing away the distractions in his mind, Chen Youwei felt that he was suddenly as light as a swallow and his spirit was comfortable. In the end, his level is still too low, and since it is not much good for him to be involved in this kind of senseless fighting, it is best to simply maintain his independence. Chen Youwei knows very well that at the grassroots level in townships and towns, it does not mean that your official university must have authority, only the kind of things that can really do things that satisfy everyone and have enough prestige, can what you say have prestige.
The small sub-section level is just the starting point, Chen Youwei's eyes flashed a fine light, the conditions in Xiaohe Township are a little harder, but it is precisely because of the poor foundation that it is easier to make some achievements. Since you leaders and second-in-command of Xiaohe Township are fighting for such a small amount of power, it is just the right time for you to start doing something drastically according to your own ideas.
In the current years when the economy is in charge, it is always a small way to make progress in the career by relying only on some people who cannot see people to compete for power and profit. Chen Youwei understands that as long as he has enough results and some operation, if he can't get promoted for a long time, it will be a strange thing.
Thinking of the halo of the drought-fighting model worker that he had just hung on his body, and thinking that his name seemed to have entered the eyes of the leaders of the prefectural party committee and the administrative department, Chen Youwei felt a strong self-confidence in his heart.
The sumptuous meal was soon served, braised yellow croaker, stewed pheasant with mushrooms, stewed wild boar legs, diced spicy chicken, and a series of delicious dishes that can only be found in the mountains dazzled Liu Wangen. Thinking of these rare mountain and wild meats in the region, Liu Wangen felt from the bottom of his heart for the first time that going to the countryside this time was definitely the right choice.
The drizzle was still falling, the climate in the mountains was much colder than on a sunny day, and a dozen people crowded the large private room, and the steaming stew pot not only aroused the appetite of the people present, but also warmed up some of the cold bodies.
Liu Wangen was in a good mood under Lin Dong's warm greeting, and with the drive of such a local snake, many people's minds began to turn, and they came to the side of the new party secretary to curry favor.
Qin Daming sneered in his heart, but he still spoke, and shouted at Wang Jianmin, who was busy outside: "Old Wang, let's have two pieces of wine first, and today we have a good drink with Secretary Liu." ”
"Why don't you have so much?" Liu Wangen, who was in a good mood, was startled and waved his hand again and again.
Chen Guangming, who was silent on the side, said: "It's okay, Secretary Liu, these guys can't do anything else, they are addicted to alcohol." ”
His mouth was directed towards Chen Youwei, who was quietly drinking tea, but Lin Dong shook his head angrily and said, "It's okay, there is Chen Youwei...... Oh, now it's Deputy Township Chief Chen...... With such a master of wine, I think there is no problem with another one. ”
Chen Youwei shook his head with a smile, there was no squeak, Chen Guangming seemed to have a very close relationship with Qin Daming, and he didn't forget to speak out in support at this time, and Lin Dong seemed to be holding Liu Wangen's thigh with an iron heart. The people next to them didn't know the secret, so most of them cheered, and only a few parties could hear the mystery and have different expressions.
A trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, Liu Wangen couldn't help but have a headache, although he was also a veteran in the county, but when he saw this, he actually ordered two full twelve bottles of liquor, which made Liu Wangen, who thought that he had more than a pound of alcohol, scratch his head a little.
There are exactly 12 people in the private room, and under normal circumstances, one pound per person is just right. Liu Wangen didn't dare to be so optimistic, after eating his own stick, Qin Daming and the others were obviously going to hit him head-on. It's just that these methods are extremely clever, if you don't dare to fight, it will naturally greatly reduce your prestige, and if you are filled with foreign appearances because of this, it is not worth losing points.
Thinking of Chen Youwei's drinking, even Minister Qi of the regional propaganda department was amazed, Liu Wangen was overjoyed and aimed at this quiet young man. Qin Daming saw it sincerely, sneered, and said with a smile: "Secretary Liu, this is a reception banquet held by our Xiaohe Township to welcome you, can't it cool the hearts of our more than 30,000 Xiaohe Township people!" ”
Liu Wangen hated it, and said in a hurry: "Today is also the reception banquet of Chen Youwei, the deputy head of the township, everyone's enthusiasm can't be concentrated on me alone." ”
Chen Guangming said with a smile: "Secretary rest assured, we promise not to favor one over the other, and we will treat it fairly." ”
"Ha Lu Ha Ha" The people at the scene, whether they understand or are ignorant, are all big laughing, maybe in the eyes of these people, no matter how they fight, there is such a sumptuous luncheon in front of them is what they are looking forward to the most.
"Then we're going to get started!" Qin Daming grabbed a bottle of liquor and took the initiative to be the commander of the liquor: "According to the rules of our Xiaohe Township, three glasses are respectful, and then no one will let go of the circle from Secretary Liu, no problem, right?" ”
Everyone shouted in laughter: "No problem! ”
Liu Wangen looked down at the wine cup about three dollars in his hand, and felt a little relieved, just like that, it would be less than half a catty in a circle, even if these guys in the back were ghostly, he should be able to withstand it completely.
"Okay, then let me feel the enthusiasm of the comrades!" Thinking of the understanding, Liu Wangen, who is also a veteran of the battlefield, can't help but feel proud.
Chen Youwei smoked silently, smiling constantly at the palace fight scene on the wine table, and it was funny to think about it. Sometimes the methods used by these township officials to fight are like children running a family, which is childish and makes people speechless. Chen Youwei just doesn't believe that today's wine fight can solve the problem of Liu Wangen and Qin Daming, who will be the number one in Xiaohe Township in the future, if it is really so simple, it is too much to take the organizational discipline of the party and the country as a child's play.
Anyway, Chen Youwei has already made up his mind, you can fight casually, as long as you don't get involved with an outsider like me. Thinking of Qin Daming's drinking, Chen Youwei was unconsciously a little worried about Liu Wangen, who seemed to be Sven, if he was really irritated and let outsiders see it, Liu Wangen's personal prestige would fall to the ground, and it would be very bad if the entire Xiaohe Township leadership team was negatively affected because of this.
Even Chen You didn't know what to do, and before he knew it, he had already begun to enter the role, and he was already able to think about the problem from the perspective of the deputy head of Xiaohe Township.
The secretary and the township chief had already spoken, and everyone at the scene immediately let go of their hands and feet to feast. Liu Wangen was dedicated to showing his pro-people color, and he put down the first level very proudly, followed by Qin Daming, and the rise of everyone drinking was more addicted to alcohol. The atmosphere in the private room is very warm and noisy.
After everyone let go of a level, Chen Youwei knew that the next thing was the real meat play, and sure enough, Qin Daming looked at Liu Wangen, who was red-faced and hot-eared, and smiled: "The secretary's alcohol is really good, I think in order to make everyone happy, why don't we divide into two classes and have a good game of guessing boxing, what do you think?" ”
The people who had long been stimulated by alcohol applauded, and although Liu Wangen, who was drunk, knew that it was inappropriate, it was not easy to refuse in such an atmosphere, so he only nodded in agreement.
Chen Youwei shook his head sympathetically, it seems that today's ending has been decided, no matter what you Liu Wangen will do in the future, it is the leader of Xiaohe Township who says nothing, but the bitterness of today's meal is that you can't run, and it is always a dark shadow in your memory. On the first day of taking office, he was cleaned up by a few local snakes, and it must be a pain when he thinks about it in the future.
Seeing Qin Daming's eyes flash with pride, Chen Youwei knew that this somewhat frustrated township chief was probably making an abacus.
During the whole luncheon, Chen Youwei was not so much enjoying the drink as he was enjoying the battle. This kind of revenge, which has almost no gold content, makes Chen Youwei feel a lot, and the work style at the grassroots level in townships and towns is so direct and simple. Looking at Liu Wangen, who came down from a confidential department like the county Propaganda Department, he thought that he could calm the scene by playing some tricks, but he didn't want to be wiped out by a local snake like Qin Daming who would cancel out Liu Wangen's previous aura.
Most of the people here are neutral, and even if there is a helper like Lin Dong who tries to help, it will be useless. With the concerted efforts of Qin Daming and his faction, who were originally not much, Liu Wangen, who was crumbling, finally couldn't hold on to crawl on the table and fall asleep.
At this step in the development of things, even the most dull people feel that something is wrong, after drinking and eating, everyone is staring at each other and knowing that it is not suitable to participate in this weird environment, everyone leaves with a wipe of their mouths.
From beginning to end, Chen Youwei remained neutral, drank wine, and ate food, ignoring other things. Qin Daming gave him a few reassuring nods, and he just smiled.
