As soon as he walked into the conference room, Zhou Siguo saw at a glance that Wang Liang was sitting on a chair in front of the conference table, his head lowered. Although it has been a short time since the last meeting, Wang Liang in front of him seems to have become a different person, losing a lot of weight and looking haggard. Looking at Wang Liang in front of him, Zhou Siguo felt extremely uneasy.

Hearing the sound of the door of the conference room, Wang Liang looked at the door with a frightened gaze, and saw that it was Zhou Siguo who walked in, and hurriedly got up to meet him.

Seeing Zhou Siguo, Wang Liang still seemed to feel cordial, and was about to stretch out his right hand, when suddenly, as if he realized something, he retracted it like an electric shock. Seeing this, Zhou Siguo took the initiative to stretch out his right hand to Wang Liang and said with a smile: "Comrade Wang Liang, I heard that you want to report to me?" ”

"Comrade?!" is a very ordinary title in normal times, but Wang Liang felt extremely cordial at this time, especially when he saw Zhou Siguo's smile, Wang Liang's heart was even more moved, and his eyes were suddenly full of tears.

Seeing that Zhou Siguo stretched out his right hand to him, Wang Liang hurriedly stepped forward and held Zhou Siguo's right hand tightly with both hands. Zhou Siguo obviously felt that Wang Liang's hands were a little trembling. Seeing this, the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Secretary Zhou heard that you were going to report, so he hurriedly arranged time to come to see you." ”

After listening to the introduction of the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Wang Liang was even more moved, looked at Zhou Siguo with affectionate eyes, and said in an almost choked voice: "I'm sorry Secretary Zhou, I want to disturb you so late." ”

"This is the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, you are no stranger." Zhou Siguo glanced at the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and introduced to Wang Liang. Zhou Siguo's meaning was very clear, and he wanted the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection to accompany him and talk to Wang Liang together, but to Zhou Siguo's surprise, Wang Liang glanced at the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection indifferently, and without waiting for the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection to speak, he said: "Secretary Zhou, can I talk to you alone?" ”

Zhou Siguo glanced at the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection apologetically and said, "Okay." ”

"Let's talk slowly, I have something to do, let's go out for a while." The secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection glanced at Wang Liang and gently withdrew from the conference room.

Only Zhou Siguo and Wang Liang were left in the conference room, and it was very quiet.

Wang Liang sat opposite Zhou Siguo, keeping his head down and pondering.

Looking at Wang Liang, who was full of guilt, a leading cadre who had been trained by the party for many years, had fallen to such a point, Zhou Siguo had a heartache and mixed feelings, even though he had a thousand words in his heart, but he didn't know where to start for a while, so he kept looking at Wang Liang in front of him.

Wang Liang slowly raised his head, not daring to look at Zhou Siguo, Yu Guang saw Zhou Siguo looking at him with sword eyebrows, and lowered his head timidly.

"Mu Tian was assassinated." After being silent for a long time, Wang Liang finally spoke, and his voice was very low, as if squeezed out of his teeth.

Zhou Siguo nodded, and said in an indifferent voice: "I know." ”

"I'm sorry, Secretary Zhou, I remember that not long ago, you told me in person, once something happened to Mu Tian, show me questions. But now ....... Wang Liang's voice was a little choked as he spoke, and then he cried bitterly.

Suddenly, Wang Liang cried loudly: "Secretary Zhou, I am guilty, I am sorry for the cultivation of the organization, I am sorry for the expectations of the people of Qianshan County, I am sorry for your trust in me, and I am not sorry for Mu Tian, I am a county magistrate, and I am derelict in my duty if I did not protect a weak villager." No, I'm guilty! ……。 Wang Liang was a little emotionally out of control, and as he spoke, he suddenly stood up, came to Zhou Siguo, and wanted to kneel down to Zhou Si, crying and shouting: "I sincerely confess to Secretary Zhou!" ”

Zhou Siguo was stunned at first, and then a little angry, looked at Wang Liang who was kneeling in front of him, and scolded: "Comrade Wang Liang, what are you trying to do?" As a leading cadre, if there is a mistake in the work, we must sum up the lessons and accept the organization's handling. Even if a crime is committed, there is still a court. How can you atone for your sins with the feudal set? Especially before the facts are clear, how can you make such a move at will! ”

Zhou Siguo's shout suddenly made Wang Liang sober up a lot. "Comrade?! Secretary Zhou, do you still regard me as a comrade in the party? Wang Liang looked at Zhou Siguo with surprised teary eyes. Zhou Siguo nodded lightly and said, "At least for now, we are still comrades. ”

Zhou Siguo saw that Wang Liang's mood had stabilized, got up and poured a cup of hot water for Wang Liang, gently patted Wang Liang's shoulder and said, "Comrade Wang Liang, I won't tell you that the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection has reported your matter to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to visit you, let alone listen to you. Not to mention that in this complicated society, as a leading cadre on the ruling side, it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes in work, and the most important thing is to have the courage and attitude to correct ...... mistakes. ”

Hearing Zhou Siguo's words, Wang Liang was very moved in his heart, and thought: Could it be that the secretary of the municipal party committee in front of him is usually very strict, clearly like an elderly big brother, sincerely helping his younger brother who made a mistake. At this time, Wang Liang had mixed feelings in his heart, and just about to stand up, Zhou Siguo gently comforted Wang Liang's shoulders. Wang Liang looked at Zhou Siguo with admiration. Zhou Siguo continued to say softly: "If you have anything in your heart, just say it all, and take practical actions to gain the understanding of the organization and the people." ”

Zhou Siguo returned to his seat after speaking, Wang Liang bowed his head and was silent, as if he was experiencing a sharp ideological struggle.

After a while, the anxious Wang Liang suddenly looked around. Zhou Siguo looked at Wang Liang with puzzled eyes. Wang Liang said timidly: "Secretary Zhou, can I smoke a cigarette?" ”

Zhou Siguo looked at Wang Liang with puzzled eyes and said, "In my impression, you don't smoke." ”

Wang Liang didn't say anything more, and looked at Zhou Siguo with a requesting gaze. Zhou Siguo understood Wang Liang's mood at this time, and habitually touched his coat pocket, and said, "I don't smoke either." Wang Liang muttered, "Forget it." ”

Suddenly, Zhou Siguo remembered what the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection had said, so he got up and said, "Let me see if they have reception cigarettes here?" ”

Zhou Siguo came to the table as he spoke, opened the drawer, and sure enough, there was a box of cigarettes, a lighter and a cigarette box jar. Zhou Siguo picked it up and put it in front of Wang Liang.

"Thank you, Secretary Zhou."

Wang Liang hurriedly opened the cigarette case, took out a cigarette from it and lit it, and then there was a violent coughing sound.

After his mood stabilized a little, Wang Liang opened his heart to Zhou Siguo and expressed the bitterness in his heart.

Maybe I've been an idealist since I was a kid, and I always wanted to do something in this world. In particular, after taking charge of the Qianshan government, he took the Qianshan as a stage to realize his personal ideals, and even dreamed of doing something to make achievements and prove his worth, especially wanting to let the people of Qianshan live a good life through his own efforts, and use his own efforts and sweat to water a monument in the hearts of the people. Later, I gradually discovered that there are many things in this world that are beyond the reach of individual efforts, and sometimes even backfire. In the past, I always thought that the rule of law environment in Qianshan County had improved, public order had improved, the roads had been widened, and the investment environment was superior. Later, I found that the investment promotion in the neighboring counties was in full swing, and our front mountain was deserted. Just when I was restless, someone reminded me that I had to go out and run to attract investment, how could I attract capital if I didn't go out to attract investment. Maybe he was born with some bookish anger, and there is also the low self-esteem of rural children, and he lacks extensive connections, so he went out a few times, but he got nothing. I imitated the practices of other counties, mobilized people in the county to cross the sea, sent a large number of cadres, and mobilized all social connections that could be used, such as fellow villagers, classmates, and comrades-in-arms. But the harvest is still not very big. Even if they occasionally attract businessmen, when it comes to relevant preferential policies, people will not return once they go back to demonstrate and demonstrate, and some are even pulled by neighboring counties to invest. Seeing that the economic development of Qianshan County has been declining uncontrollably, and even the economic development of several surrounding counties that were not as good as Qianshan County have surpassed Qianshan, I am anxious in my eyes. At this time, I seem to have become a sinner, there is a feeling of sorry for the people of Qianshan, a meeting in the city, the soul is an ordeal, especially when sitting with the county magistrates, I always feel that the dwarf is three points, and I dare not look directly at the eyes of the city leaders, for fear of incurring criticism from the leaders, I always want to find a corner to hide, but every time I have a meeting, the city will play a seat sign, and the front mountain is always in front of the order, and the first feeling after the meeting is to return to Qianshan County immediately, instead of staying like other county leaders, Visit the city leaders and departments that are helpful for economic development to win support.

The economic development of Qianshan County has reached such a level, it seems that the city leaders and relevant departments are reluctant to come to Qianshan to investigate and guide the work. In their eyes, Qianshan seems to have become a plague god, lest they can't dodge.

Every time I walk on the street, it seems that there are people pointing behind my back, and I heard that some people have nicknamed me "Wang Wuneng". The economic development of Qianshan County has become a topic of public discussion, and some cadres have complained that the policy restrictions in our county are too rigid and the heads of the county leaders are too rigid. I also led the principal responsible comrades of various townships and towns to study and learn from the experience of the counties that have done a good job in attracting investment, and they introduced me to me in a high-sounding manner, which made people feel that our county is also doing the same, but why are there still no businessmen who come to invest? At the wine table, they told me the truth about the wine, saying that our county was too conservative. Merchants are not philanthropists, let alone fools, and if they don't give people some sweetness, how can people be willing to invest money in your remote place? Some are even white wolves with empty gloves at all; As long as we can recruit businessmen, invest money in them, and GDP go up, our work will be done well, and our political achievements will be available, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with our leaders, but is the business of the relevant departments or even the next government. People tell me that attracting investment requires not only a hard environment, but also soft conditions. People pointed to their heads and said to me very mysteriously, saying a thousand, saying 10,000, what experience is not experienced, the most crucial thing in developing the economy is to innovate concepts, we must emancipate our minds, and our heads will be wide in the world.
