Miao Chunxiu went to work in Xuege, Zhou Jing was a little uneasy, so he took the time to call the deputy general manager Zhao of the base and asked him to take care of him.

Ten days later, at the end of the month, Deputy Secretary Yu Manting also packed his bags and rushed to the Provincial Party School to participate in the cadre training class, and at this time, due to the double impact of the Luo Mingda case and Wei Heping's arrest, Yu Manting's side was cold, and he had obviously lost power, and almost no one from Qingyang came to see him off, Zhou Jing drove him to the province, and arranged the food and accommodation before returning to Qingyang.

The fierce political struggle in Qingyang also taught Zhou Jing a very vivid lesson, allowing him to see clearly the cold state of the world, the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and the cruelty of the officialdom struggle. Of course, his attitude towards power has not changed, and he would rather take it straight than seek it from the song, and this has not changed.

Luo Mingda's case continues to ferment, through the task force's peeling off the cocoon, several shadow shareholders behind the Mingdu nightclub have all surfaced, which involves a number of city leaders, as well as two Standing Committee members, but, digging down in this direction, did not dig out the deputy secretary Yu Manting, but unexpectedly dug out the two henchmen of Li Weiye, the secretary of the municipal party committee, which made Secretary Li also have a headache.

At this time, it is obviously not appropriate to slash horses with tears, so he greeted Wang Yongsheng, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and asked him to deal with it prudently, Wang Yongsheng understood in his heart, and in the report materials, only a few section-level cadres were dealt with, and the rest were hung up, and this case was not handled as an iron case, but as needed, it could be raised at any time and beat some cadres who were not very obedient.

Despite this, there are still some people who smell the unusual atmosphere and start to move, Niu Li is one of them, he accidentally got the news, knowing that in the municipal leadership sequence, there are about to vacate two deputy mayor positions, so he ran non-stop to start the relationship, lest he lose this opportunity, and wait a few years before he can achieve a positive result, and he competes with several leaders of government agencies.

In contrast, Niu Li, the director of the state-owned enterprise, does not have an advantage, so he is more anxious, on Thursday afternoon, he went to the office of the municipal party committee, found the secretary general Cai Sicheng, made a thought report to him, and proposed to see the secretary of the municipal party committee Li Weiye, but Cai Sicheng blocked the drive, only said that Secretary Li is busy with official business, and it will take a few days to spare time, and it will not be too late to arrange it at that time.

Although the secretary-general always had a warm smile on his face, Niu Li knew that in this case, he must speed up the operation, the so-called soldiers are fast, and I am afraid that I won't even be able to eat cucumber vegetables when it is late, so he tactfully explained his intentions, took out a large envelope from his bag, opened Cai Sicheng's drawer, stuffed it in, and said that this time, I must ask the secretary-general to help more, and after the matter is completed, there will be heavy thanks.

"Old Niu, what do you mean by this!" Secretary-General Cai Sicheng looked very angry, frowned, glanced in the direction of the door, and shouted in a low voice: "Take it back, we have been old friends for many years, what a hurt feeling it is to do this!" ”

Niu Li looked a little frightened, and waved his hand again and again: "Secretary-General, this is just a little caution, not a respect, there are still more places to rely on you in the future, don't be polite, if you don't accept it, it will be difficult to enter this door in the future." ”

Cai Sicheng sighed, handed Niu Li a cigarette, knocked on the table with his hand, and scolded in a low voice: "Old Niu, this is an extraordinary time, and the top is very strict, don't mess around, make trouble, we will all suffer!" ”

Niu Li lit the cigarette and said with a smile: "Secretary-General, it's just some tea, even if it is checked above, there will be no problem, even if it is strictly controlled, you can't stop the exchange of courtesy, right?" This is our excellent tradition, and we can't afford to lose it! ”

Cai Sicheng nodded with a smile, did not answer, and after a while, he put away his smile and said with a serious expression: "Lao Niu, your main competitor is Lao Wang of the Planning Bureau, he is also very diligent now, and he has done work on several Standing Committee members, so you should pay attention to it." ”

"Lao Wang, he has been in power for many years, and it's time to move." Niu Li's face was worried, he frowned and took a puff of cigarette, and thought about it: "Secretary-General, please give me some guidance, this opportunity is rare, I don't want to miss it again." ”

Cai Sicheng nodded, looked at the calendar, and muttered: "That's it, you come back tomorrow afternoon, I will take you to Secretary Weiye to sit there, the key depends on what he means, as long as Secretary Weiye makes a decision, others are not good at refutation." ”

Niu Li nodded, got up with a smile and said, "Okay, Secretary General, you have bothered a lot." ”

"Old cow, walk slowly, come and sit often when you have time!" Cai Sicheng bypassed the desk, shook hands with him warmly, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, hurriedly called Niu Li, walked over, and reminded him in a low voice: "By the way, you don't have a very good relationship with Xiao Zhou, go find him, maybe there will be a surprise, that kid is a ghost, he eats very well on it, and he speaks very strongly." ”

"Okay, thank you Secretary-General for the reminder!" Niu Li smiled and nodded, said a few polite words, and left Cai Sicheng's office, in fact, when he just came over, he went to Zhou Jing's office first, but it was empty inside, and he didn't see anyone.

In the past this time, seeing that Zhou Jing had not come back, Niu Li was a little disappointed, took out two Yuxi cigarettes wrapped in newspapers, stuffed them into Zhou Jing's desk drawer, sat on the desk again, took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, and said with a smile: "Xiaojing, where is it?" ”

Zhou Jing answered the phone and whispered: "Study at the Municipal Party School." ”

Niu Li sighed, sat on the leather chair, and said in a low voice: "Xiaojing, take the time to come back, I have something important to discuss with you!" ”

Zhou Jing heard his strange tone, hurriedly closed the notebook, and said curiously: "Director Niu, what's the matter?" ”

Niu Li sold a pass, and said mysteriously: "Let's meet, it's inconvenient on the phone, I'm in your office!" ”

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go back right away!" Zhou Jing hung up the phone, raised his wrist and looked at the table below, seeing that there were still thirty minutes before the end of class, and on the podium in front of him, the lecturer was holding the lesson plan, still talking about empty and boring theoretical lessons weakly, so he packed up his things, quietly moved his body, left his seat, carefully touched the position of the door, pushed the door and walked out.

In fact, such training activities, usually few people participate, but the leaders of the party school are in a hurry, and the departments will temporarily catch a few strong men in the past, Zhou Jing stayed bored in the office, volunteered, and took the initiative to apply for the past to listen to the class, these days after Yu Manting left, he seemed to be forgotten, and he was bored in the office alone every day, which was really boring.

Originally, Li Weiye mentioned that he would transfer him to his side as a secretary, and Zhou Jing was already ready, but during this time, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, there was no news, he knew that it would take some time for personnel transfers, and after the leaders of the provincial party committee went back, he, a little pawn, might lose his value, even if he was forgotten to the side, it was a normal thing.

Drove away from the Municipal Party School, rushed back to the Municipal Party Committee compound, after entering the house, put down the briefcase, came to the door of the room, through the glass window, but saw Niu Li sitting behind the wide desk, looking left and right, looking at the posture of who else I am, I couldn't help but feel funny, pushed the door in, and said with a straight face: "Okay, you are the director of the Niu factory, taking advantage of the fact that the secretary of the court went out for a meeting, and actually sought power and usurped the throne, that is not possible!" ”

Niu Li hurriedly said that he didn't dare to be, stood up with a smile, and sighed: "I want to, but how can I have that opportunity, if I want to be a deputy mayor, it's so difficult to die, I spent more than 100,000 yuan before and after, and I still don't know it, Malegobi, these guys are all vampires!" ”

"Die, don't be so loud!" Zhou Jing put his finger to his mouth, glanced back, and saw that no one came in, so he was a little relieved, made a cup of tea, handed it over, pulled a chair and sat down, and said very unceremoniously: "That's your own doing, who else can blame, since you are not sure that it will be done, why are you throwing money around?" ”

Niu Li snorted, pushed the teacup to the side, took out two cigarettes, handed one to Zhou Jing, lit it himself, took a few puffs, looked at the smoke around his fingertips, and said sullenly: "If you are not sure, you have to send miles, haven't you heard of it, don't you run, don't send it, stand still; only run but not send, horizontal transfer; Run and send, use exceptionally. Everything in this world is scarce, that is, there is no shortage of people, and it is overcrowded, and there is no good attitude, which leader will use you? ”

Zhou Jing smiled and said jokingly: "Then you have already run and sent, why haven't you seen an exceptional use?" ”

Niu Li sighed, patted the table, and said helplessly: "It was not sent to the place, it is estimated that Ming'er will only be able to see Secretary Li, but he is not familiar with him, and he does not dare to send money, in case the leader turns his face on the spot and talks about clean government, but he can't eat and leaves!" ”

"Then don't send it, don't take that risk!" Zhou Jing smiled slightly, and patiently persuaded: "Uncle Niu, with your ability, work hard for a few years, the agricultural machinery factory has made achievements, and it is a matter of time before you are promoted to the city, don't always think about taking shortcuts, it is easy to do bad things!" ”

Niu Li took a sip of tea and said slowly: "In these years, honest people have suffered losses, you keep to yourself, follow the rules, and others take shortcuts, then you are not a fool?" ”

After a pause, he said: "I have been the factory director for all these years, and I am very familiar with the above things, this is like queuing up to get on the train, the platform is crowded, and there is always a queue in front. ”

Zhou Jing was silent, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "That's it, in a few days, if I can meet Secretary Weiye, I will mention it by the way." ”

Niu Li nodded with a smile, and hurriedly reminded: "That's faster, now many people are active, it's late, but there is no position, now it's all a radish and a pit, and when the next position comes out, I don't know if it's the Year of the Monkey." ”

Zhou Jing took a puff of cigarette, dusted off a piece of cigarette ash, and said with a smile: "Then it will have to wait for the opportunity, I haven't met Secretary Weiye recently, and my own work problems are still hanging, I don't know when it will be solved, if it's not good, there will be no drama in half a year!" ”

When Niu Li heard this, his expression became serious, he glanced in the direction of the door, and said cautiously: "Xiaojing, everyone is talking outside, saying that the secretary of the court has committed a crime, it seems that he has been shuanggui in the province, and he is about to take it down, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhou Jing shook his head and said in a low voice: "No, people are good, studying in the provincial party school, we also talked on the phone a few days ago, he asked me to go to the party school to study more, recharge, and said that some things there are still good, learn from the experience of predecessors, and avoid detours." ”

Niu Li was relieved at this time, nodded and said: "That's good, I'm afraid that something will happen to him and let you be implicated, this man and woman are actually the same, not afraid of doing the wrong thing, just afraid of following the wrong person, if you line up the wrong team and follow the wrong leader, don't think about it for the rest of your life." ”

"No, Uncle Niu, I'm fine, don't worry." Zhou Jing continued to serve tea, chatted with him for more than ten minutes, and then stood up to the staircase, waved goodbye, and returned to the office, he lit a cigarette, came to the window, and looked at the scenery in the distance.
