The wife who was sitting next to Xiang Guangming was afraid that Xiang Guangming would say anything more, so Lu Zhengdong would not be able to come to the stage, so he pulled Xiang Guangming's clothes, and hinted at Xiang Guangming with eyebrows, Xiang Guangming was very unhappy, and said:

"You old woman, what are you pulling me for? I'm not a three-year-old, I know what to say and what not to say, and I don't need to be reminded! ”

Xiang Guangming's wife had no choice but to stop, so Lu Zhengdong took over the conversation and said:

"Xiang Lao, what your old man said is right, you see the problem very deeply and comprehensively. My trip was not in vain. I have heard a lot of your insightful opinions, and the old revolutionaries of your generation are the kind of momentum, they are not afraid of heaven and earth, they dare to say anything, they dare to do anything, they are selfless and fearless, so you don't have to worry, I can listen to it, I have this mental preparation. I also like to listen to your speech, these social phenomena you mentioned do exist, and they are areas that we must step up and improve in our future work; I believe that in order to fundamentally improve the party's work style, government style, and social atmosphere, we must start with the leading cadres, and to govern the country is to govern the officials, and only when our leading cadres have a clean and upright style can the entire social atmosphere be fundamentally improved. You're right? ”

"The most critical reason why there are so many problems in our country is that the problem of cadres has not been solved well. It turns out that who dares to be a cadre? Who would dare to take a bribe? If you get tens of thousands of dollars, you are found by the organization, and you send them to the legal organs, and often a small life is lost. How strict were the laws back then? Say kill and kill. And now, it seems that the law has become unaccountable, and a lot of strange theories have come out. What anti-corruption affects the economy. Influence development. Affect stability, affect the overall situation ......"

Lu Zhengdong nodded:

"There is a herd mentality and a fluke mentality, conformity is that others are like that, and if you don't do that, you will suffer; There is also a fluke mentality that there are so many mistakes that do not necessarily come to their own heads, and of course, there is also a reason that the local leaders do not want such things to happen in their own places, and they are more negative on these issues, which is also one of the reasons. And so on, so the current shape shì is becoming more and more severe, and this problem is indeed universal. I think it should be rectified, and great efforts must be made to rectify it, but it is not a one-day cold to be frozen, and it is not an overnight thing to reverse such a situation, and our country's current anti-corruption system is still far from perfect. In particular, leading cadres at all levels have too much power. Lack of effective supervision, honesty or not, the key to self-consciousness, rely on personal consciousness and cultivation, I think this is not possible, the most critical is to rely on the system, rely on the open and fair rules of the game, of course, there is another point is to implement the system, in fact, from the founding of the party to the founding of the country, in this regard we have introduced the system and laws are not less, but in the implementation process often discounted or deformed, these take time, slowly improve, now the central government to the provinces of the instructions is, bold exploration of practice, Now our province also needs to carry out a series of reforms, especially in the selection and appointment of cadres, we must make big moves, I mean, the system is more reliable than people. If the system is good, bad people don't dare to do bad things. Good people don't do bad things. In this way, our society will become more and more harmonious, and I think the reform of the employment mechanism should be a breakthrough. ”

"It seems that Zhengdong has a very clear understanding of this. This is a bull's nose. ”

Xiang Guangming nodded, although he also thought it was good for Lu Zhengdong before, he still had some reservations about his opinions, many cadres were holding their tails and being people before they became the number one, but once they sat in the position of number one, it was like a different person, and the whole person would become strong and domineering.

Lu Zhengdong didn't seem to have such signs, he was still able to listen to his words, and he grasped the key at once.

Lu Zhengdong looked at his watch, and unconsciously, more than half an hour had passed, and there were still a few old comrades waiting at home, so he stood up and said to Xiang Guangming:

"Xiang Lao, time is limited, this time I won't bother for too long, I still have a few old comrades below to visit, next time, I will come specially to listen to you have a good chat."

Xiang Guangming said, "Okay, you go and get busy." ”

Saying that, he stood up and personally sent Lu Zhengdong and the others to the gate, which was a treatment that Zhou Shuming had never enjoyed.

Everyone gathered around Lu Zhengdong, walked through a bamboo forest, and walked dozens of meters to the door of another villa, where a former secretary of the provincial party committee lived Zhou Heng.

Yesterday, when Zhou Heng received a call from the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee saying that Lu Zhengdong was coming to visit him at home, he thought about it for a while, and specially told his youngest son Zhou Zhi that he would come to the house early tomorrow morning and wait here to meet Lu Zhengdong.

Zhou Zhi is in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and has been the director of the Propaganda Department of the provincial party committee for more than two years, and it was Zhou Zhi who personally greeted Zhou Shuming and solved a department-level position for his youngest son. Now that the secretary of the provincial party committee is Lu Zhengdong, he wants to cultivate his youngest son well. If you can solve the level of deputy department, you can be a deputy director, and you can be a deputy mayor in the city.

So today, he specially arranged for his youngest son to accompany him at home, and when Lu Zhengdong came, he would get to know each other when the time came, and if there was any opportunity, he would mention it to Lu Zhengdong.

Zhou Heng is a northerner, although he is old now, he is still very personable, he is wearing a black woolen coat, a gray jacket inside, black trousers, and a pair of black leather shoes on his feet, he walked unhurriedly to the gate, walked more than ten meters in the direction of Lu Zhengdong, and greeted Lu Zhengdong.

Lu Zhengdong was still more than ten meters away from him, so he greeted him with a smile and said, "Secretary Zhou, are you okay?" ”

Zhou Heng waved his hand at him and said with a smile: "Okay, there are no major problems, small problems are indispensable, are you already old anyway." ”

Lu Zhengdong stepped forward, shook his hand and said, "You are still in good spirits!" Not old. I'm your age, and if I have a body like yours, I'm very satisfied. ”

Zhou Heng also smiled:

"Yes, yes, Secretary Wang is so young, and his living conditions are good now, and his body will definitely be stronger than me when the time comes."

Saying that, he introduced his son to Lu Zhengdong and said: "This is my youngest son Zhou Zhi, who works in the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. ”

Zhou Heng's purpose in doing this, how could Lu Zhengdong not see it? Zhou Heng made it clear that he wanted him to take care of his youngest son.

And although the size of Zhou Heng's house is about the same as Xiang Guangming's house, the more prominent difference is that their living room looks much more luxurious and comfortable. The living room has been newly renovated, the floor tiles are non-slip, and the sofas are all leather, which is large and comfortable.

The coffee table is rosewood, long and big, carved around with figures, flowers and birds, at a glance is a high-end goods, it is estimated that just this coffee table, there are no more than 100,000 yuan, can not be bought at all. It is estimated that he doesn't have to buy it, or it was given to him by his subordinates, or by the boss he helped. In the corner is a tall stand-up cabinet air conditioner, spitting heating out incessantly. The whole room is very warm and comfortable, and it feels like Xiang Ming's living standard is not on the same level, and this Zhou Heng's living standard is much higher.

The gap between the two former secretaries of the provincial party committee in this regard is so big, first of all, the ideological concept, Xiang Guangming is an old revolutionary who participated in the work before the liberation, he is used to hard work and simplicity, he does not like to enjoy, he will not enjoy, and he is satisfied with a life of coarse tea and light food. And Zhou Heng is an intellectual, he knows the mood of life, he can enjoy it, he knows how to enjoy it, and he does have the conditions to enjoy it.

Secondly, the two people served in Beihu for different periods of time, when Xiang Guangming was in the party and government, just reform and opening up, the official style and the people's customs were still relatively positive, he basically achieved fairness and decency on the issue of employing people, adhered to the principle of all over the world, in Xijiang Province, did not deliberately promote some people who had a good relationship with themselves, everyone basically ranked on seniority, and when the time came, they were promoted and reused, and the standing committee members of the provincial party committee had the right to speak. Those department directors, secretaries of municipal party committees, and mayors did not thank him for being an official and admit his affection to Xiangguang.

When Xiang Guangming was still on the stage, out of politeness, they also went to sit at home during the New Year's holidays, and sent some gifts such as cigarettes, wine, health care products, etc., and if they were bold, they would also send some red envelopes, of course, at that time, gifts were very cautious, and Xiang Guangming was very disgusted with this, he didn't accept any money from everyone, and returned it in person. After a long time, everyone knew that he was used to it, so they didn't dare to send him money. When he is not the secretary of the provincial party committee, he is really sparse in front of the door during the New Year's holidays, not to mention sending money, even sending cigarettes and alcohol, and there are not many left. He is now dry every month, living on his pension.

And Zhou Zhi is different, when he was on stage, the social atmosphere in Beihu Province had already risen a trend of entertaining and giving gifts. The number of etiquette in the officialdom is getting bigger and bigger, and during the New Year's holidays, the subordinates not only have to send cigarettes and alcohol to their superiors, but also give red envelopes justifiably.

In terms of employing people, Zhou Heng used a lot of people he liked, some of them were his secretaries and subordinates, and some were his relatives and old friends. There are hundreds of department-level cadres who have been personally promoted by him. His own sons and daughters also occupy very important positions, and many of his subordinates are still in their posts, and they all have real power in their hands. During the New Year's holidays, those people would come to his house and visit him with gifts and money.

This is actually the realm gap between the two people, in such a comparison, the old man Xiang who loves to shoot guns is obviously much cuter...... (To be continued......)
