Secretary JW's answer, especially the suggestion, made Minister ZZ a little disappointed, and he thought: It's just a polite remark, what kind of opinion is this? But Zhou Siguo seemed to be very satisfied after hearing this. In fact, Secretary JW said what Zhou Siguo was thinking: Wang Liang's resignation was a personal act and had nothing to do with the current case under investigation in Qianshan. The city should approve Wang Liang's resignation. Then, the city RD will hold a meeting to deliberate on the decision. In view of the transformation and development of Qianshan County in the next step, the selection of the magistrate of Qianshan County must not be too hasty, and we must be cautious to ensure that he is a good cadre who is fair and upright, has a strong sense of dedication, and is recognized by the masses.

Zhou Siguo knew very well in his heart that now Ma Shan didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at Qianshan County, although Wang Liang's resignation was still limited to a very small range in front of him, but it would soon come out. At that time, various speculations will be triggered, and if it is not handled properly, it will cause a huge tremor not only in the front mountain but also in the whole of Masan. It will not only cause ideological instability among the cadres and the masses, but will even affect the economic development of Qianshan. Especially in the critical period of transformation and development of Qianshan County, it is very important to unify the thinking of cadres. Secretary JW's statement just now made Wang Liang's sudden resignation and became a normal ZZ adjustment, which will help clarify people's vague understanding. Thinking of this, Zhou Siguo further added: Although there is no conclusion on Wang Liang's matter at ZZ, his resignation at this moment, as well as a series of recent events in Qianshan County, have sounded the alarm for the municipal party committee, and we must draw inferences from one case and reflect seriously. The candidates for the new county magistrate must pass the discipline and discipline, and the comrades of JW must take the initiative to participate and help the ZZ department to do a good job. In addition, according to the content we just discussed, next week ZZ will hold a study meeting of the Standing Committee Theory Center Group, the study content is still according to what we just discussed, the specific content is prepared by the city JW, and the office is responsible for the meeting.

"What about the time?" Secretary JW looked at Zhou Siguo's face and said, looking a little anxious.

Zhou Siguo thought for a while and said, "It's still the routine study time of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, which is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday afternoon." Zhou Siguo said to the director of the office: "The scope can be expanded to the top leaders of the county party committees, governments and municipal departments. ”

When Zhou Siguo spoke, Minister ZZ was listening quietly, and kept thinking in his heart: Since the study of the central group is scheduled for Tuesday, and Siguo will have to deal with official business on Monday, it seems that the candidates of the Qianshan County Government may be scheduled for study after Wednesday, so that there is an initiative in time.

When Minister ZZ was racking his brains for the former county magistrate, Zhou Siguo's voice came to his ears: "According to the regulations, how long is the time for the main responsible comrades at the county and department level to resign?" ”

"It's about three months, I'll check it out when I go back."

"Good. It is necessary to determine the person in charge of the work presided over by the Qianshan County Government within the time period when Comrade Wang Liang resigns and responds. Zhou Si National Road. As soon as Zhou Siguo finished speaking, he seemed to remember something again, and said: "My opinion is that on the premise of ensuring that the former county magistrate candidate is excellent, the sooner the better." Moreover, the ZZ review of Wang Liang was carried out together with the nomination of the candidate for the former Shandai county magistrate. ”

From Zhou Siguo's tone, it can be heard that although the time is more relaxed than what Minister ZZ thought, Minister ZZ knows better in his heart that the candidate proposed by Minister ZZ must be in line with the conditions of the Municipal Party Committee, especially in front of Qianshan County is at a critical moment of economic transformation and development, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Municipal Party Committee. Minister ZZ said tentatively: "Does Secretary Zhou have any specific instructions and requirements?" ”

Minister ZZ also understood in his heart that the promotion and appointment of cadres was an extremely sensitive matter, and it was not appropriate to bring it up on this occasion, but he also thought that in the future, JW would also participate in it, and it would be inappropriate to bring it up in front of Secretary JW. Although the director of the office was present, he only solicited Zhou Siguo's opinion on the candidate conditions, and did not put forward specific candidate suggestions. Thinking of this, Minister ZZ felt a little relieved.

Sure enough, hearing Minister ZZ's words, Zhou Siguo was stunned at first, first looked at the director of the office, seemed to feel that something was wrong, and shook his head helplessly. Then, he looked at Secretary JW and said, "What is your opinion on the discipline inspection department?" In the face of Zhou Siguo's sudden question, Secretary JW was speechless for a while, and said with a smile: "JW's main job is to review the candidates proposed by the ZZ department and make honest responses. ”

Zhou Siguo seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Secretary JW's answer: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken, can JW intervene in advance?" ”

After being criticized by Zhou Siguo, Secretary JW's face was a little red.

After Zhou Siguo finished speaking, he looked at Minister ZZ again: "My personal opinion, the nomination of the main responsible person of the Qianshan County Government by the municipal party committee must be strictly in accordance with the regulations on the appointment of cadres, and the style must be excellent. At the same time, it is also necessary to take into account the current actual situation in Qianshan County, and we must select a leading cadre who has a strong sense of political responsibility, has the courage to take responsibility, understands the economy, is good at communicating with the cadres and the masses, and has a pioneering spirit. After Zhou Siguo finished speaking, he looked at Secretary JW again and said with a smile: "Do you have anything specific to add?" ”

At this time, Secretary JW was recalling every sentence Zhou Siguo had said, and when he saw Zhou Siguo asking for his opinion again, he hurriedly said: "Secretary Zhou's request is very specific. ”

Zhou Siguo was about to say something, but he seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he smiled slightly, and added: "We should take a long-term view, the scope of candidates can be determined in the entire Mashan, and if necessary, we can also seek the support of the swZZ department, and it is not impossible to help us select a cadre with excellent political ability and style." In short, it must be excellent in all aspects. Try to be as young as possible. ”

Every sentence of Zhou Siguo was deeply imprinted in the mind of Minister ZZ, but what puzzled him was, why, Zhou Siguo has been asking for the opinion of Secretary JW, what is the hint in it? Or what kind of signal is sent? Secretary JW also felt a little confused: the cadre issue is a matter for the ZZ department to consider, why does Zhou Siguo repeatedly ask for his opinion? It's embarrassing for me.

Perhaps Zhou Siguo saw Secretary JW's thoughts, looked at Secretary JW, and said, "When I went back to my hometown this time, I went to my high school alma mater, and I felt a lot of emotion. I'm thinking that it is impossible for people to spend their lives in a flat life, people are not saints and sages, who can do nothing, and everyone will inevitably have one kind or another shortcoming. Just like me, there are a lot of shortcomings, and I can't guarantee that there will be no mistakes in my work, but the question is what kind of mistakes I made and what kind of attitude I have towards the mistakes I have made. From the ZZ perspective, those who make mistakes or realize their mistakes should be given the opportunity to correct themselves. Explain the policy thoroughly and explain the truth clearly. When I went back to my hometown this time, I passed by the orchard and saw the red apples hanging on the branches, and I thought, if an apple tree is not grafted, the fruit will not only be small, but also bitter, so if you want to improve the variety, you must graft. But what does this mean for us leading cadres? I haven't figured it out yet. I hope that everyone, especially the city JW and the ZZ personnel department, can think about it as a topic. ”

Suddenly, Secretary JW and Minister ZZ seemed to realize something, Zhou Siguo did not go to his hometown to visit his old mother at all, but wanted to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city and think quietly about the future development of Mashan. It's really the leader's mind that can never be understood or guessed.

Just when the participating comrades were pondering the meaning of Zhou Siguo's words, Zhou Siguo suddenly said: "Today's topics are all understood, right?" Zhou Siguo saw that everyone had no objections, and said: "Today's meeting is here, let's go back and prepare carefully." ”

The secretary thought that Zhou Siguo had just come back from his hometown and presided over an important meeting, and he must be very tired, so he came in to clean up the office. But seeing that Zhou Siguo was still sitting at the desk thinking, writing something in the notebook from time to time, he had no intention of going home for dinner. The secretary was puzzled, and Zhou Siguo said, "You can help me make instant noodles, I'm a little hungry." The secretary was puzzled, looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and said, "Secretary, aren't you going home for dinner?" Zhou Siguo didn't seem to hear the secretary's words clearly, and said, "Then, you call the responsible comrades of the conference affairs section again." ”

After Zhou Siguo finished speaking, when he saw the secretary leaving the office, he picked up the special line on the desk and dialed the phone of Secretary JW to learn more about the performance of the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, especially whether there were any recent letters from the people or clues reflecting his problems, as well as negative reactions. Secretary JW truthfully reported to Zhou Siguo on the phone. Zhou Siguo will also convene a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee this evening, at which Secretary JW will be asked to inform the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee on Tuesday's study of the Theoretical Center Group of the Municipal Party Committee and make preparations in advance.

As soon as he put down the phone, Zhou Siguo seemed to remember something again, dialed the phone of the leader of the swZZ department, and made a brief report to the leaders of the swZZ department about Wang Liang's resignation, together with the current work situation of the Qianshan County Government and the personnel arrangements for the next step, as well as his own preliminary considerations, and obtained the consent of the swZZ department.

After reporting to the leaders of the swZZ department, Zhou Siguo sighed, but thought that his report to the leaders of the swZZ department was a prior communication at the leadership level. Although the authority to appoint and dismiss cadres at the department level lies with the municipal party committee, they should be reported to the swZZ department in accordance with the ZZ procedure. Thinking of this, Zhou Siguo dialed the phone number of the Minister of the Municipal Party Committee ZZ again. Zhou Siguo informed Minister ZZ that he would immediately go to his office.

Before the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee arrived home, he received a call from Zhou Siguo, knowing that Zhou Siguo was in a hurry, he didn't dare to slack off, and walked into Zhou Siguo's office for a long time.
