Chapter Forty-Eight: Keep Your Head Down and Look Up at the Road
After Secretary Wen left, he saw that the township chief Wu Zhonghe had not yet arrived, so he rushed to the township, and before he had gone far, he saw Wu Zhonghe trotting over, and shouted from afar when he saw him:
"Zhengdong, Zhengdong, why don't you accompany Secretary Wen, the other township leaders are ...... behind"
Lu Zhengdong hurriedly said:
"Secretary Wen has left, and I'm about to come back to report to you......"
"How did you go?"
Wu Zhonghe asked in surprise, then walked a few steps, stood in front of him, touched the sweat on his head, and said breathlessly:
"It's rare for Secretary Wen to come here, it's noon, why do you have to keep him for a meal, I've arranged it in the township, why don't you keep him?"
Lu Zhengdong spread his hands and said:
"I stayed, and I asked the villagers to help me stay, but Secretary Wen said that there were important things to deal with in the afternoon, and I couldn't keep it......
Lu Zhengdong listened to Wu Zhonghe's tone with a lot of regret, the county leader is here, this is a great opportunity to show his face, such an opportunity slipped away in vain, and everyone is in the same mood. So he continued:
"Secretary Wen seems to have come to the township for a private visit, and there must be other things, otherwise he will meet the township chief and other township leaders even if he doesn't eat."
When Wu Zhonghe heard this, he sighed with some annoyance, and then asked a little nervously:
"Secretary Wen's private interview? Then how do you see Secretary Wen feeling after listening to the words of the people? What is your attitude towards the work in the township? ”
Lu Zhengdong briefly introduced the situation, and deliberately talked about Secretary Wen's expectations, and then said:
"It is estimated that the people are still quite supportive of the township, and they didn't say anything out of the ordinary, and when I saw Secretary Wen, Secretary Wen was not unhappy, and he was in a good mood when he left. I also reported to Secretary Wen the overall work plan of the township after the township chief presided over the work, and the Chinese secretary fully affirmed the recent work of the township, and was also quite satisfied with the current expression of the township party committee, saying that the highway will come again after the opening of traffic, and the township chief should not worry, no matter what, this is a good thing. Township Chief, you have to prepare well, maybe when the county party congress is held, Secretary Wen will also talk to you about the work of the township......"
Lu Zhengdong figured out what Secretary Wen meant in his words, and it was estimated that Wu Zhonghe should still have great hope of sitting in the position of party secretary after the party congress. This is also what Lu Zhengdong has always expected, not to mention that Wu Zhonghe has a good relationship with him, after becoming the secretary, it is conducive to his work, and more importantly, only when Wu Zhonghe goes up, the position of the township chief will be vacated, and he will have one more chance, so when he found that Secretary Wen was coming, he quickly asked someone to call Wu Zhonghe over.
Wu Zhonghe was slightly relieved when he heard Lu Zhengdong's words, although he was a little envious that Lu Zhengdong could catch up with such an opportunity, and he was very sorry and annoyed that he could not meet Secretary Wen, but Lu Zhengdong was able to pick him up when he reported, and he could still think of him, and let people hurry up to report to him, which was indeed very interesting, so he shook Lu Zhengdong's arm vigorously and said:
"Well, well, fortunately, it was Zhengdong that you met Secretary Wen, if you change someone, you may panic, you can't tell anything, and you missed this opportunity to show the new work in the township......"
Lu Zhengdong waved his hand and said:
"This is not my credit, it is the effective work of leading our group of people after you presided over the work of the township chief, the people are in their eyes and in their hearts, so they will say good things about the township in front of Secretary Wen, otherwise what I say in front of Secretary Wen, Secretary Wen will be hard to believe......"
Lu Zhengdong didn't have any merit, he met the secretary of the county party committee, and Wu Zhonghe, who was in charge of the work, didn't see it, Wu Zhonghe still had some ideas in his heart, at this time, talk about Wu Zhonghe's good words, Wu Zhonghe also balanced his heart......
The two of them were talking, and the leaders who fell behind Wu Zhonghe also rushed over. Lu Zhengdong thought for a moment and reminded Wu Zhonghe Dao:
"Township Chief, although Secretary Wen is gone, Secretary Wen has come to the township after all, and I still want to use this opportunity to cheer everyone up......"
When Wu Zhonghe heard this, he nodded hurriedly, he was a little excited but forgot about this stubble, the leaders of the township heard that Secretary Wen was coming, and they were all full of enthusiasm like him, and they all wanted to show their faces in front of the secretary of the county party committee. …,
I couldn't help but think that this Lu Zhengdong was really thoughtful, so he quickly adjusted his mood, and with a little excitement on his face, he said to the people who came over panting:
Secretary Wen took time out of his busy schedule to make a special trip to the township to inspect the situation of road repair in the township, but the driver at the bottom of the mountain just came up to report that the county had a temporary emergency, so he went back to the county, but he fully affirmed the work of the township, and also put forward instructions and expectations...... Let's go back, go back and study, how to implement the spirit of Secretary Wen's instructions......"
Wu Zhonghe said vividly, and when the township leaders who came behind heard it, although it was a little regrettable that they did not see the secretary of the county party committee, they were still more sure of the work in the township, and there was no problem with their own mess, and their hearts were also steady, so they slowly walked back in twos and threes.
Back in the township, after the meeting, Lu Zhengdong lay in his cabin, still a little excited, thinking that if Wu Zhonghe can really sit in the position of secretary of the township party committee, Secretary Wen has a good impression of him, does he have a chance to compete for the position of township chief, think about it, he is only twenty-two years old, and he has only been promoted to deputy township chief for a year, and it is still a little difficult to compete for the township chief, after all, the township chief and the deputy township chief seem to be just a simple half-level, but its importance in the eyes of the leaders is not the same, The deputy township chief is just an assistant, and the township chief is fully responsible for the work of the government, and he is a person who is in charge alone, which is related to the development of tens of thousands of people in a township.
Lu Zhengdong thought about it, and felt that he couldn't just pin his hopes on competing for the position of township head, but also had to consider what to do if he couldn't go up, Lu Zhengdong thought about it, in fact, it was a good choice to be transferred to the central organ of the county, so that there was more contact with the leader, and the level was also easy to go up, not to mention, and he could also meet more people with a higher level than the township, which was also very beneficial to the future development.
Lu Zhengdong actually knows that in fact, his shortcoming is not age, as long as the leader thinks it's okay, you can do it, age and qualifications are not a problem, his real shortcoming is the lack of connections in the county, Secretary Wen has a good impression of him, this is indeed a big advantage, but if you want to turn such an advantage into a victory, you have to have someone to help blow the wind in front of Secretary Wen and help Secretary Wen make up his mind, then he will have a greater chance......
Lu Zhengdong thought about it carefully, no matter what, not only do you have to bow your head to do things, but you also have to look up at the road, and you must find a way to start this matter......
