The bus couldn't be arranged, so Xu Tao drove his new Volkswagen Passat out of the county government compound with Yi Xiangming, driving on the road, Yi Xiangming sat in the co-pilot and seemed a little embarrassed: "County Magistrate Xu, I didn't cooperate well with my work, not only did I not assign you to the bus, but also asked you to drive me personally." ”

"That's what I said. . . It's okay! ”

The county party committee office is the self-reserved land of the county party secretary, and the government office is also the self-reserved land of the county magistrate; No matter from what point of view, Yi Xiangming is a talent who belongs to Ding Maoshan's faction, but in Xu Tao's opinion... A small staff member like Yi Xiangming is actually not applicable to the faction theory, after all, a small staff member like Yi Xiangming may not have much use value in the eyes of a leading cadre at the level of Ding Maoshan.

"County Magistrate Xu, turn left and go down from this road, right. That's it, this is the Transportation Bureau. "The transportation bureau has an independent office building, but the small building is not big, it looks more like the old products in the county town in the last century and continues to shine after being repainted, there are only three floors up and down, and there is a small courtyard. There is a row of two-story buildings on the side, and Tingyi Xiangming introduced that it is the location of the county's traffic law enforcement brigade.

As soon as Xu Tao arrived, someone from the county government had already placed a pass for the county government compound on Xu Tao's car, and relying on this pass, Xu Tao was not hindered at the gate of the Transportation Bureau at all, so he drove straight in.

"Let's go! Let's go upstairs and find out. ”

"Okay! County magistrate Xu. ”

Jing Kangping, secretary of the party group and director of the Transportation Bureau, Xu Tao had seen it at the "welcome ceremony" held for him by the county party committee and county government before, but Xu Tao did not have contact information at that time, but fortunately, Yi Xiangming on the side carried the contact book of various units in Changle County that had just been renewed last year, a small manual, and found Jing Kangping's phone number after simply flipping through it.

The phone was quickly connected, but the other end of the phone was very noisy, only to hear Jing Kangping hurriedly say: "Hey! I'm Jing Kangping, what's the matter? ”

"You're Director Jing of the Transportation Bureau, right? I'm Xu Tao. ”

"Xu Tao? County Magistrate Xu! Oh, County Magistrate Xu, look at my negligence, I didn't leave your contact information when we met before, and I haven't reacted to your call! Leader, what are your instructions? ”

"I'm at the door of Director Jing's Transportation Bureau right now! I wonder if you can take me in? I have some information that I would like to ask some cadres of your unit to understand the specific situation. Xu Tao politely expressed his intentions, but at this time, Jing Kangping on the other end of the phone was in trouble.

After muttering for a long time, he could only sigh and say, "County Magistrate Xu, it's really not the right time for you to come today." ”

"Or... You'll be in a few days, and you'll be back in a few days! At that time, I will have the materials ready, the people ready, and you will know what you want. ”

Jing Kangping's words made Xu Tao stand downstairs a little stunned.

Did you hear me right?

Everyone went downstairs and said that they had come at the wrong time? Hearing Jing Kangping's words, Xu Tao felt that the materials sent by the Transportation Bureau before were "quietly processed" and specially supplied for himself to see, but now that Jing Kangping heard that he was coming, he wanted to push back the time and give himself a special version of the material?

"Okay, then it's troublesome Director Jing!"

"No trouble, no trouble, I'll ask you when the materials are ready!"

"Hmm!"

The phone hung up in a hurry, and Xu Tao's face was a little ugly.

Yi Xiangming on the side seemed to have guessed something, and he was silent, just glancing outward, and he didn't know if it was the poor little greenery in the small courtyard of the Transportation Bureau that attracted him.

Just when Xu Tao was thinking in his heart about how he should respond if the Transportation Bureau could not provide any materials, Secretary Liu's phone called at this time.

Xu Tao didn't think much about it, so he connected directly: "Secretary Liu." ”

"County Magistrate Xu, the leader asked me to ask you... Is there any other work arrangement this afternoon, and if not, can you accompany Secretary Lai to the province, and the issue of investment in highway construction has not yet been implemented. Secretary Liu's voice was very soft, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him, Xu Tao did not turn on the hands-free external sound, but Yi Xiangming, who was not far away, was probably still able to hear a little.

Yi Xiangming's heart was also like a stormy sea at the moment: "Secretary Liu.. Is there a second Secretary Liu in Changle County? There is only one secretary, surnamed Liu, and that is the secretary of Lai Guoqin, the secretary of the county party committee. ”

Before Xu Tao came, there were rumors that this time the county party committee wanted to be suspended cadres from the province, in fact, it was to enhance the county party committee's right to speak in the county in disguise, and now Xu Tao has arrived in Changle County, and he has received the attention and attention of Lai Guoqin, secretary of the county party committee.

This is undoubtedly a direct confirmation of such speculation.

If the work in the Transportation Bureau had gone well, Xu Tao might not have time in the afternoon, but now Jing Kangping, who is the director of the Transportation Bureau, keeps prevaricating, so Xu Tao's afternoon itinerary is free.

Merely.. Go to the province, this can be solved in an afternoon?

In one afternoon, I'm afraid I can arrive in Yuncheng before the evening, and it will have to be tomorrow to do something serious.

Xu Tao said: "Okay! Secretary Liu.. I don't have anything on schedule this afternoon, I have time. ”

"Okay! At two o'clock in the afternoon, Secretary Lai's car will be waiting for you at the gate of the county party committee, and you will go with us at that time. ”

"Good!"

There are very few things that can be said on the phone, and most of the things in officialdom are more face-to-face interactions, and the contact with the Transportation Bureau is not smooth. It's better to take a trip to Cloud City with Lai Guoqin, just in time to be able to go back and have a look.

Yi Xiangming said at this time: "County Magistrate Xu, you see... Is that Director Jing? ”

"Huh?"

Xu Tao looked in the direction of Yi Xiangming's finger, and sure enough, Jing Kangping walked out of the traffic law enforcement brigade next to the small courtyard, his face was ruddy, and he was also swaying when he walked... When Xu Tao saw it, he guessed that this Jing Kangping was drinking.

Weekdays, or work hours... Especially at noon, this Jing Kangping dared to openly drink in the unit, thinking that the hidden hands that invisibly manipulated Xu Tao's work behind his back were one of the reasons why Xu Tao did not see Jing Kangping today, and the other reason was that the director Jing was probably still on the wine table when he called before.

Yi Xiangming glared and muttered: "This Director Jing is too bold, this is working time.. Actually drinking in the unit! ”

Xu Tao frowned, but he didn't say much, cadres drinking during work hours did violate rules and disciplines, but this was not within Xu Tao's jurisdiction... Watching Jing Kangping wander from the small building of the Traffic Law Enforcement Brigade into the office building of the Traffic Bureau, Xu Tao said: "Let's go, this kind of thing is not a day or two!" ”

"Huh? Okay.." Yi Xiangming only reacted at this time, and the person sitting next to him was the deputy county magistrate of Changle County, not the secretary of the county Commission for Discipline Inspection.
