5. Election of officials

Dong Datian was walking towards the village committee with his head bowed worriedly, and Wang Wensi called out to him.

"Daejeon, you wait."

"What's the matter?"

"There is an important situation." He looked back and saw Li Dongmei behind him, so he said, "Let's go to the office and talk." ”

Before he sat down in the office, Dong Datian hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, so mysterious?" ”

Wang Wensi closed the door and said: "I pondered and pondered, and I felt that I had to tell you about this, you have a good mental preparation, Minqiang wants to participate in the secretary election." ”

Dong Datian was stunned: "Impossible, right?" ”

"It can't be. It was Secretary Tian who took a fancy to him. ”

"This ......" This is something that Dong Datian did not expect.

Wang Wensi said: "I didn't expect to kill Cheng Cheng Jin halfway, if he gets to the position of secretary, I won't be able to move if you can't go up." Then he shook his head, sighed, and said, "With the strength of the good wind, you can climb to the sky by using the ladder." If you can't go up, I'll have no fun. And he walked away with his hands behind his back.

Dong Datian frowned, scratched his head, and went back and forth in the office, thinking: Although Li Minqiang has the support of Secretary Tian, he also has to be voted by party members, how much prestige can he have among the masses when he just came back? Not much competitiveness. Dong Datian is still relieved.

Dong Datian had just returned home when the phone rang: "Hey, oh, it's my brother-in-law, what's wrong?" There's no one at home, you name it. What! Three candidates? Who mentioned Wang Wensi? Oh, got it, hey......" The other person hung up the phone.

Dong Datian is like an ant in the crotch of his pants and is restless, Wang Wensi is different from Li Minqiang, he has been a village cadre in the village for many years, and now he is the deputy secretary, he usually hums haha to everyone, and never offends anyone. With the support of Deputy Secretary Chen and Mu Qinglin, there are also leaders of the Organization Department of the county party committee as the backstage. I'm different, hot-tempered and impatient. Besides, over the years, the homestead has been approved and the tolerance has been assigned, which has offended many people. Despite the help of my brother-in-law, no one is tough! He thought about it, Wang Wensi was a great threat to him.

Lin Caifeng said anxiously beside him: "After pulling out the radish and the skin is wide, don't you just let your brother-in-law pull Wang Wensi down directly?" No fire is not hot, it is a pro-triangular direction. I don't think my brother-in-law won't fail to help. ”

Dong Datian said angrily: "What do you know!" This is a matter decided by the collective study of the town party committee, and he alone can have the final say? Porridge mixed with paste, confused, I don't understand anything, I have no brain. After saying that, he pulled his legs and walked out.

Lin Caifeng asked, "Why are you going?" ”

Dong Datian walked out of the door without saying a word.

After Wang Wensi left Dong Datian, he returned home and lay on the sofa, repeatedly wondering about the current situation, whether he could be a candidate for secretary, it must be Deputy Secretary Chen and his cousin who helped, or someone in the court who was good to be an official. Thinking about it again, Dong Datian, the secretary's seat, rushed to sit down, and the competition with Dong Datian was in a time when it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, but he didn't expect another Li Minqiang to appear. He thought about it again, Li Minqiang's prestige in Shagang Village has been discredited, although Tian Yongsheng is supporting him, but he cannot force every party member to draw a circle on the name of Li Minqiang on the ballot, the possibility of being elected is not very likely, and the most important thing is Dong Datian. What is the way to defeat him? was thinking about it, Dong Datian came.

Wang Wensi hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Datian, come on, sit down." ”

Dong Datian sat down, Wang Wensi handed him a cigarette, and asked, "Do you have something to do with me?" ”

Dong Datian smiled bitterly and said, "Tell you a happy news." ”

"What's the letter?" Wang Wensi asked with a smile.

Dong Datian lit a cigarette, smoked and said, "I will re-elect the party branch secretary tomorrow." ”

Wang Wensi pretended to be stunned: "So fast? ”

"Ahh The list of candidates is you, me and Minqiang. ”

Wang Wensi had already received information from Chen Wenjun on the phone, but he said, "What nonsense! It's impossible for me to be a candidate. ”

"What can't be, I just answered the phone."

Wang Wensi waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, I don't believe it." ”

Dong Datian flicked the cigarette ash and said, "Believe it or not, but I'm telling the truth." Vince, you said if you ......"

Wang Wensi hurriedly answered: "I definitely can't choose." ”

Dong Datian smirked and said, "Are you telling the truth? ”

Wang Wensi raised his head and said, "Tell the truth! I don't know what to do! The big tree in front of the door is good for shade, behind you is your brother-in-law Mayor Chang, and behind Zhiqiang stands Secretary Tian, who do you say is standing behind me. ”

Dong Datian smiled bitterly and said, "Aren't there Deputy Secretary Chen, your cousin, and our old secretary standing behind you." ”

Wang Wensi's heart sank, how did he know, so he said: "Oh, the water droplets falling on the face can't quench the thirst, Deputy Secretary Chen is a third-in-command, my cousin can't quench his thirst from far water, and the old secretary is sick, and the paper-paste wall is unreliable." ”

"According to you, then you two are tied up?"

"No, you're the one who is the companion."

Dong Datian was stunned: "Am I a companion?" ”

"Ahh Behold, thou hast tied thee to thy life. As he spoke, he made a shooting motion, "Bang, Minqiang and I were shot." ”

"You, hehe, look at what you said, the nagging is far away."

"Hehe, but, according to your statement, I voluntarily withdrew from the election."

"Is that true?"

Wang Wensi said with a serious expression: "Of course it's serious? ”

Dong Datian smiled and said, "It seems that you are really not confused, then I'll go." ”

In the conference room of the village committee, the party member meeting to elect the secretary of the party branch of Shagang Village began.

Dong Datian reported: "Except for Mu Qinglin and Wang Wensi, who asked for leave, the other party members have arrived. ”

"Excuse me! What is the reason? Tian Yongsheng asked.

"Mu Qinglin can't come with back pain, Wang Wensi has a heart attack." Dong Datian replied.

Tian Yongsheng and Chang Ziming whispered, and Chang Ziming said: "Now the meeting begins, and the content of the meeting is to elect the secretary of the party branch of Shagang Village. Before the election began, Comrade Tian Yongsheng would like to explain to you a certain situation. ”

Tian Yongsheng said: "There is one thing I will say: When Comrade Li Minqiang led our villagers to repair the reservoir at the most intense time, Comrade Datian received a letter, the content of which was to ask Comrade Datian to send flour to the reservoir construction site, and the village committee had no wheat, so it temporarily borrowed it from the villagers......

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Li Minqiang, what did Secretary Tian mean by mentioning this matter on this occasion at this time? Li Minqiang lowered his head, and Dong Datian had a significant smile on his face.

Tian Yongsheng opened the document bag, took out two pages of paper, held it up, and said, "What's the truth?" I have here two letters to illustrate this issue. One is a letter in Li Minqiang's name to Comrade Dong Datian asking for flour, and the other is a handwritten letter written by Comrade Li Minqiang to his comrades-in-arms asking for an introduction to the experience of desertification control in order to control the sandy land in our Shagang Village. In other words, the letter to Comrade Dong Datian was not written by Comrade Li Minqiang. I asked Li Minqiang, and he said that he had not written to the village to ask for flour at all, and that the flour sent was also brought back by Comrade Li Minqiang to Comrade Wang Wensi. ”

The venue was a little chaotic, and everyone was talking.

Chang Ziming waved his hand and said, "Everyone be quiet and listen to Secretary Tian." ”

After everyone calmed down, Tian Yongsheng continued: "As to how these two letters came into my hands, perhaps Comrade Li Minqiang does not know. Okay, I'm not going to say more, the main thing is to clarify the problem with everyone, I'm done."

Chang Ziming said: "Okay, let's start the election now, and I will say two words before the election." Comrade Mu Qinglin was no longer suitable to continue to serve as secretary of the village party branch due to physical reasons, and the town party committee put forward three candidates to run for the secretary of the party branch of our Shagang village after careful study. These three are Dong Datian, Wang Wensi, and Li Minqiang. Everyone's eyes are rods and scales, and I hope that everyone will be impartial, vote carefully, and choose the leader of Shagang Village. Okay, I won't say more, but I'll talk about the principles of voting. ”

While the election meeting was going on, Wang Wensi was restless and walked back and forth in the room, speculating about the election results of the party congress. Zhang Guilan walked in from outside. Puzzled, he asked, "Isn't there a meeting of party members today?" ”

Wang Wensi didn't raise his head and said "ah", and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.

"What are you doing in the house? Why don't you go to a meeting? ”

"I had a heart attack."

"Heart disease! Aren't you doing well? ”

Wang Wensi stopped and said, "What do you old ladies know!" Why are you so stupid, I promised Daejeon to withdraw from the secretary race, and you said that I would make a statement at the meeting today? Can you say quit the election in front of the leaders and all party members? Isn't that a rope to strangle yourself? Besides, if I don't express my stance at the meeting, I won't be able to explain to Dong Datian, he will think that I have fooled him, Dong Datian is like a tyrant all day long, what are we offending him for. Did I do everything I asked you to do? ”

"Well, no one sent fifty dollars."

"Got it all?"

"If you accept it, everyone will open their eyes when they see the money, and there are twelve people who have accepted it."

"These people are dogs who gnaw meat and bones, and if they take the money, can they not vote for me? Money talks. ”

"Yes."

"Dong Datian is a two hundred and five, he has no ability, he is the belly of an old cow, and he has a straw bale. I wonder if many people will vote for him; Li Minqiang's prestige among the masses has been discredited, and there is no play. I became a secretary, and your status in Shagang Village has also improved. However, you also have to pay attention to your image from now on. ”

"What's the image?"

"Of course it's your image and your image of me."

Zhang Guilan was unhappy and said, "You have to make it clear to me, what did I do to you, I was half-hearted with you, and I was still pulling around outside." ”

"Look at you, why are you talking so evilly? I mean, in the future, I will preside over the overall work of the village, you are the first lady of Shagang Village, what is the image of the first lady of Shagang Village? ”

"What's the image?"

"Virtuous help."

"I'm afraid I won't have that life."

"You crow's mouth, I have to let you say that you are no longer in sight."

The results of the vote for the election of the party branch secretary at the party congress came out, and there was a lot of discussion at the venue.

Tian Yongsheng stood up and waved his hands and said, "Please be quiet, and let Comrade Chang Ziming say a few words to everyone." ”

Chang Ziming took the ballot paper and said: "In this election, there are a total of 37 party members, and everyone has seen that now Comrade Dong Datian has 17 votes, Comrade Li Minqiang has 14 votes, and Comrade Wang Wensi has 6 votes. That is to say, none of the three comrades exceeded the legal half, so the election was invalid. Comrade Hetian Yongsheng studied it just now, so let's adjourn the meeting for the time being, give everyone a time to brew, and let's continue the election tomorrow morning. In addition, in order to ensure the validity of the election, the number of candidates has been changed from three to two, that is, Comrade Dong Datian and Comrade Li Minqiang. ”

Tian Yongsheng said: "Fellow villagers, why Shagang Village can't develop, many people are still living a poor life, it is worth pondering. As the saying goes, villages are connected to villages, households are next to each other, and the common people love good cadres. Because good cadres have the people in their hearts, good cadres can work for the welfare of the people, good cadres can solve problems for the people, and good cadres serve the people wholeheartedly. I hope that you will think about it carefully, fully deliberate, and select good cadres that you can trust and who can lead you to shake off poverty and become rich. ”

The meeting dispersed, and the party members left the conference room, discussing as they walked: Who can be elected as the secretary of the village party branch? Is it Dong Datian? Or Li Minqiang? Guessing at each other, there is no unified understanding.
