The sudden situation caught Zhao Liang off guard, as if his careful planning for a period of time was gently resolved and changed by Huang Zhenggang in an instant. originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the provincial department to come to Mashan for investigation and investigation to squeeze Liang Haixing away. Even if you can't squeeze it out, you have to discredit it to establish your authority. However, all this came to naught with the stationing and supervision of the department's discipline inspection team, and the entire investigation and investigation work was led by the provincial department, and he became an outsider, just like Liang Haixing. At this time, Zhao Liang not only felt extremely lost, but even had a sense of foreboding. What Zhao Liang didn't expect was that he thought that Liu Dake, as the head of the research team and the deputy director, would be able to control the situation and help realize his intentions, but at this time, he became a scarecrow and completely obeyed Huang Zhenggang's orders.

According to the latest investigation and inspection procedures agreed between Liu Dake and the discipline inspection team of the department, the research team was divided into two groups, first talking to the middle-level cadres of the Mashan Bureau on the issue of disunity in the team of the Mashan Bureau, and then holding a general meeting to vote on the construction of the team.

After casting the vote, Liu Da, who presided over the meeting, could see that someone wanted to walk out of the conference room, so he reminded everyone that after voting, they would sit back in their seats and that there were still important topics to be studied.

Originally, Zhao Liang thought that the research team of the department had summarized the situation, and wanted to invite Liu Dake to his office to drink tea and wait for the results, and took the opportunity to learn about the conversation and inspection of middle-level cadres from Liu Dake's mouth. To Zhao Liang's surprise, as soon as the ticket collection work was over, and then a meeting was held, Liu Dake announced on behalf of the party group that after communicating with the municipal party committee in advance, the meeting would democratically recommend a deputy director. When Zhao Liang heard this, his face was immediately full of displeasure, and he was even a little stunned. Although the leadership of the recommendation bureau belongs to the provincial department and the municipal party committee, as the main post of the Mashan Bureau, Liu Dake not only did not ask for his own opinions in advance on such an important matter, but even did not inform himself at all, making him very passive, and he did not have a leading opinion at all. Zhao Liang seemed to feel his position in the party group of the hall, especially Huang Zhenggang, and sighed helplessly.

In fact, Zhao Liang misunderstood Liu Dake, and the hall only informed Liu Dake in advance to be responsible for investigating and inspecting the situation of the team of the Mashan Bureau, and later Zhao Liang proposed that the unity of the team be taken as a part of the construction of the team to investigate and understand, and Huang Zhenggang agreed, and as a result, after the discipline inspection team of the department arrived in the bureau, Huang Zhenggang temporarily requested that the cadres studied by the party group of the department some time ago start the inspection procedure. Moreover, Huang Zhenggang also particularly emphasized that according to the authority of cadre management, the city may not participate in the inspection of the team, but when recommending cadres, the city must send people to participate, and they must take the lead, and the provincial department will only cooperate.

After Liu Dake announced that he would enter the cadre recommendation procedure, he looked at Ma Shunliang, who understood Liu Dake's thoughts, so he came to Liu Dake's side and told Liu Dake that the comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee had arrived and were waiting downstairs. Liu Dake asked Ma Shunliang to immediately notify the comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee to go to the conference room to preside over the democratic recommendation meeting for cadres. Liu Dake particularly emphasized that all procedural links and everything must be handled in accordance with the relevant provisions of the regulations on the selection of cadres and the requirements of Director Huang.

Liu Dake's words made Ma Shunliang feel a little confused: Why is Liu Dake's attitude so good today? Ma Shunliang didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly sent the comrades of the provincial department research team downstairs to invite the comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee to come and preside over the democratic recommendation meeting.

The scene in front of him made Zhao Liang seem to feel fortunate again, and he was also dedicated to Hou Jinsheng's affairs. If Hou Jinsheng successfully enters the team and serves as the deputy director, he will be grateful to himself, and he will also have an extra helper in the team; If Hou Jinsheng can't successfully pass the recommendation this time, he can't blame himself, because the entire recommendation and inspection process is completely led by the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the Provincial Department, and he is just recommending, and all the procedural links are not interfered at all. Even Zhao Liang was a little gloating: it can be seen from Liu Dake's expression that Liu Dake doesn't seem to fully understand the arrangements for this morning's activities.

After the comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee entered the venue, they had a brief greeting with Liu Dake, and then announced the requirements for democratic recommendation, and soon entered the voting procedure. It didn't take long for the democratic recommendation work to come to an end.

At the time of counting the votes, Zhao Liang felt that Liu Dake was idle, and once again wanted to invite him to his office to rest for a while, and take the opportunity to report to him about the afternoon's activities, especially to agree on the personnel who would accompany Liu Dake to visit the cultural market. And Zhao Liang is more concerned about the team's inspection, especially the reaction of the bureau cadres to Liang Haixing.

There were too many unexpected things this morning, and Liu Dake still did not understand Huang Zhenggang's true intentions, and he felt more and more that the complexity within the team of the Mashan Bureau was far beyond his imagination, and it was a wrong decision to choose to go to the Mashan Bureau for investigation and investigation in the first place. At this time, Liu Dake was a little anxious and annoyed, but he couldn't show it. After listening to Zhao Liang's invitation again, Liu Dake saw Zhao Liang's thoughts, so he shook his head helplessly. Before Liu Dake could answer, the comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee glanced at Zhao Liang, who was whispering to Liu Dake, and reminded: "We have started counting votes, and those who have nothing to do with it please leave the venue." ”

When Liu Dake heard this, he said to Zhao Liang: "Hear it, people are urging you to leave." Zhao Liang was very dissatisfied in his heart, and muttered in his mouth: "What kind of play, isn't it just a recommendation of cadres?" Zhao Liang said and left the conference room disappointed.

The counting of votes was soon over: not a single cadre met the votes required for democratic recommendation and promotion. When the comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee fed back the vote counting results to Liu Dake, Liu Dake was a little dazed, as if he had not completed the mission given by the party group of the good hall and seemed powerless, smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice: "How can this be the case?" ”

The comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee told Liu Dake that they wanted to hear Liu Dake's opinions on the arrangements for the next step, and then report to the leaders of the department together. Liu Dake didn't answer directly, after thinking about it, he said: "Although I am the leader of the investigation and inspection team of the provincial department, but for such an important matter, I must consult the party group of the department before I can reply to you." The comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee understood Liu Dake, so they didn't say anything, sat aside, and waited for Liu Dake's reply.

Liu Dake called Ma Shunliang and the comrades of the discipline inspection team of the department aside, and briefly reported the preliminary feedback of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the next step arrangement, so that everyone could grasp the situation in a hurry, and then make a report to Director Huang, and then make the next arrangements after receiving the instructions of Director Huang.

After Liu Dake finished speaking, Ma Shunliang took over the investigation and inspection from the staff and handed it to Liu Dake. Although Liu Dake was not in a good mood, he still smiled and said: "How can I have time to read your report now, pick up the important ones, and report to Director Huang as soon as possible." ”

Ma Shunliang glanced at the comrades of the discipline inspection team of the department, and said: "According to the results of the democratic evaluation, Liang Haixing is basically competent except for one vote and one vote is incompetent, and all the rest are excellent; There are only three votes for Zhao Liang's excellence, of which more than half are incompetent and basically competent. During the conversation and inspection session, the cadres generally reported that the bureau team was not united, and the main reason was that Comrade Zhao Liang was not strict with himself and was too selfish. In addition, the cadres also reported that Zhao Liang was suspected of major violations of discipline and life style problems. The problems reported by the cadres have been sorted out. After Ma Shunliang finished speaking, he handed the materials to Liu Dake. After listening to Ma Shunliang's brief report, Liu Dake was a little disappointed, his mood was a little heavy, he shook his head gently, glanced at the comrades of the investigation team of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee not far away, and said softly: "I don't look at it, together with the results of the feedback from the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee, I will report to Director Huang truthfully." ”

Although he was reluctant to report to Director Huang Zhenggang when he encountered such a thing, Ma Shunliang understood Liu Dake's distress at this time, so he didn't say much, found a corner, and made a comprehensive report to Huang Zhenggang on the phone according to Liu Dake's request.

Not long after, Ma Shunliang came to Liu Dake again, and Liu Dake couldn't wait to say: "What instructions does Director Huang have?" Ma Shunliang said: "After listening to the report, Director Huang only said, 'I know.'" Liu Dake was a little confused, so he asked again: "Didn't Director Huang make specific requests?" Ma Shunliang said: "Director Huang said that we respect the public opinion and the opinions of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and asked us to immediately return to the provincial department to report in detail." Then, Director Huang hung up the phone. ”

According to his understanding of Huang Zhenggang as a colleague for many years, Liu Dake seemed to understand Huang Dake's thoughts, so he said to Ma Shunliang: "According to Director Huang's requirements, give honest feedback to the comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee." As soon as Liu Dake finished speaking, Ma Shunliang walked to the comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee, Liu Dake seemed to remember something, so he stepped forward and whispered to Ma Shunliang: "I'll give feedback with you." ”

After Ma Shunliang gave feedback to the comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee on the opinions of the party group of the department, Liu Dake made a noise to the comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and told the comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee that because of some accidents, Director Huang asked to go back to the provincial department immediately to report the situation, so that he would not be able to accompany the comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee to eat together at noon. The comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee expressed their deep understanding of Liu Dake's arrangement.

After sending the comrades of the ZZ Department of the Municipal Party Committee out of the conference room, Liu Dake immediately convened a meeting of the comrades of the department's investigation and inspection team. Liu Dake specifically instructed that no information about the investigation and inspection of the Mashan Bureau should be provided to others, otherwise disciplinary responsibility will be investigated.

According to the ZZ procedure, the provincial department research and inspection team should give feedback to the party group of the Mashan Bureau on the investigation and inspection, but in view of the special situation, Liu Dake decided to send someone to tell Zhao Liang: According to the requirements of Director Huang, they need to return to the provincial department immediately. If Zhao Liang asked about the results of the investigation and investigation, he told Zhao Liang that everything was waiting for the reply of the party group of the department. In order not to cause Zhao Liang's misunderstanding, Liu Dake originally wanted Ma Shunliang to go to Zhao Liang to bid farewell to Zhao Liang on behalf of the research and investigation team. Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Dake finished speaking, Ma Shunliang turned around and said to a young comrade of the inspection team beside him: "You go and implement it." ”
