The antique "Jing Chu Building" is simple and elegant, and the exterior decoration style is mainly red, black, gold and silver in the main colors of the Chu State, giving people a magnificent feeling.

The restaurant is located on Jiuwei Road in Ningyang City, and is another high-end specialty restaurant in the city.

At around 5:40 in the evening, Ma Dong and his wife Bai Lu accompanied their father-in-law Bai Ruiqi and mother-in-law Liu Xia into the hall on the first floor of the "Jingchu Building".

"Chunhui, I've kept you waiting!" Bai Ruiqi said to Min Chunhui, who was already waiting here.

"I've just arrived, come, upstairs please!" Min Chunhui said and invited Bai Ruiqi's family to the elevator. "Let's go to the third floor!" He said to the young waitress next to the elevator.

In a blink of an eye, several people came to the private room of "Water Tune Song Head" on the third floor.

"Uncle Min, that day at my father's house, I said that I would hold a banquet for your promotion, and I will pay for today's meal." Ma Dong Road.

Min Chunhui arranged for Bai Ruiqi's family to sit down, and said, "How can it be done?" Without the help of the old leaders, there would be no Min Chunhui today! I'm leaving Hongyu District, why don't you thank you? ”

In fact, Ma Dong's heart is like a mirror, Min Chunhui's banquet this time is mainly to invite himself, first, he owes himself money - the 500,000 yuan he took out to get Min Jie, Min Chunhui has not paid it back until now; The second is that he owes himself a favor - when Min Chunhui was in office, he failed to solve the problem of serving as the deputy head of Hongfu Township in time.

"Chunhui, why didn't Liu Jin come?" Liu Xia said, "We sisters, but we haven't seen each other for a few days." ”

Min Chunhui said: "Old sister-in-law, she was supposed to come to accompany you, but unfortunately, her mother's family was in a bit of a hurry, so she went over there!" ”

Min Chunhui didn't let his wife Liu Jin attend today's dinner because Liu Jin's mouth was a little fast, and it was easy to inadvertently tell Ma Dong about borrowing money to help Min Jie. Ma Dong has repeatedly instructed Min Chunhui that this matter must not be known to Bai Ruiqi.

After the dinner lasted for a while, the guests and hosts chatted about the topic, Min Chunhui turned his head and said to Bai Ruiqi: "Old leader, Xiaoma's ability to work and deal with people is really strong!" Yesterday, Ren Hongtao called me to tell me that Pang Hu had found Ma Dong as a representative of the people, and solemnly made a request to him, the head of the district people's congress, to resolutely ask Xiao Ma to go to Hongfu Township to become the deputy head of the township. You know, Pang Hu is a well-known entrepreneur in our district, and he doesn't even give face to some cadres in the district and township! ”

"Oh? How did Director Ren answer Pang Hu? Bai Ruiqi, who took a sip of red wine, put down his red wine glass and asked.

After Min Chunhui motioned to the waiter to pour another cup of "Great Wall Dry Red" for Bai Ruiqi, he replied: "Ren Hongtao attaches great importance to Pang Hu's request, so he went to Cai Yifu at that time, Ren Hongtao told me, Cai Yifu told him, saying that he would consider the opinions of the National People's Congress, but the most important thing is to listen to the opinions of the majority of the people on the Standing Committee. ”

"Chunhui, Cai Yifu doesn't have any illusions about appointing Ma Dong! Not only does he oppose it from the bottom of his bones, but he also pushes others to stand up and oppose it. Bai Ruiqi was very sure.

"Old leader, you are so perceptive! As you said, Cai Yifu is already doing the work of the Standing Committee one by one! ”

Min Chunhui really admires Bai Ruiqi's analytical and judgment ability.

The day before yesterday, Zhao Yongzhu, who is still a member of the Standing Committee of the Hongyu District Party Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, told Min Chunhui that Cai Yifu had already communicated with him, and he repeatedly emphasized that there was only one meaning: he did not agree with Ma Dong's promotion to the post of deputy township head, and Zhao Yongzhu told him about it because he was very close to Min Chunhui.

From this point, it can be seen that Cai Yifu is really powerful - he knows that the relationship between Zhao and Min is extraordinary, but he still deliberately does such work.

Obviously, Cai Yifu is transmitting a signal through Zhao Yongzhu, that is, even Zhao Yongzhu and I can do work, and I will do work even more in other Standing Committee members, as long as this signal reaches Min Chunhui's ears, it will definitely go to Bai Ruiqi's ears.

After listening to Min Chunhui's words, Bai Ruiqi said: "Chunhui, this is not strange, now the key is to see who is the first to speak on the Standing Committee?" The importance of this first speaker, you don't need to say that you know it. Yes? ”

There is a very interesting phenomenon in officialdom: when everyone thinks that it is not good to say anything about someone, the words of the first speaker will play a guiding role. If the first speaker says that a person can be promoted, most of the people behind will echo it and will come up with many reasons why the person should be promoted. On the other hand, if the first person to take a position has a negative attitude towards a person's promotion, the vast majority of people who follow will follow with a negative attitude and will find many reasons why the person should not be promoted.

Now, on the issue of the promotion and use of Ma Dong, the Standing Committee members of Hongyu District are in such a state.

On the one hand, Ma Wanhe, the new secretary of the district party committee, and Zhao Shixiong, the new head of the district, had a very clear attitude, and they did not get too involved in the matter of non-party figures becoming deputy township heads, and they just listened to the results.

In this way, Cai Yifu, deputy secretary of the district party committee, naturally became the core of the Standing Committee, however, the estrangement between Cai Yifu and Bai Ruiqi, every member of the Standing Committee is also very clear, in other words, because of the irreconcilable contradictions between Cai and Bai, they are in a dilemma.

Cai Yifu is a full-time deputy secretary and head of the organization department, and of course the Standing Committee members dare not offend; Bai Ruiqi was awarded the Shang Fang Sword by the Municipal Party Committee, and the Standing Committee members couldn't afford to offend, because everyone recommended their own people to be section-level cadres.

Min Chunhui, who was very clear about this, pondered for a while and said: "Old leader, you are right, on the question of who can be the first to speak on the Standing Committee, I have been thinking about it, if I am still the deputy secretary of the Hongyu District Party Committee, it is no problem to be the first spokesperson to take the lead in supporting Xiaoma, but now this is all nonsense..."

"You're not, it's!" After Ma Dong finished scolding in his heart, he continued to listen to Min Chunhui's words.

"Now the best in the new Standing Committee team is still Zhao Yongzhu, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and I have a good relationship with Xi Wang Hongxia, the head of the district trade union, but these two people don't know Xiaoma, and it is obviously not appropriate for them to take the lead in expressing their position."

"Still!" Ma Dong heard Min Chunhui say this, and scolded again in his heart.

"Old leader, I want to come and go, it is most appropriate for the Propaganda Minister Tong Da Fat to speak first." Min Chunhui continued, "One, I am kind to him, he should be able to listen to me; One, he knows Pony well, and his support for Pony's promotion is the most convincing. ”

Bai Ruiqi leaned back, scratched his hair back with his right hand, and said: "In my opinion, it is also the most suitable for Tong Da Fat, Chunhui, you must find a way to do the work of Tong Da Fat." Although the main leaders of the municipal party committee have made it clear that I have the absolute right to speak in the use of section-level cadres in Hongyu District, I can express my position on other candidates, but on the issue of appointing ponies, I can't express my position. ”

At this time, Ma Dong, who had not spoken for a long time, interjected: "My dad is right! It is impossible for him to directly state that I will be the deputy head of the township, but if he says that he does not agree, Cai Yifu will borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and the surname Cai will definitely take advantage of my father's embarrassing position and use his methods. So, Uncle Min, this first person to speak is very important, you must communicate well with Tong Da Fat! ”

"Pony is right!" Min Chunhui said, "It seems that doing the work of Tong Da Fat is a top priority." Old leader, I have another idea..."

"Chunhui, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly!" Bai Ruiqi saw Min Chunhui pause and encouraged.

"Old leader, judging from the contact with Tong Da Fat for so long, this person has the characteristics of a bit of a wall grass, if he... Look, how about letting the pony go to Shuncheng County with me? ”

Before Bai Ruiqi could express his position, Ma Dong, who was absolutely impossible to discard the fat of Qianqian Village, denied it: "Uncle Min, this is absolutely not good!" First of all, the business of Qianqian Village is in full swing; Secondly, I have a strong personality, and the news that I went to Hongfu Township to be the deputy head of the township can be spread to the outside of the earth, and I must not lose this person! This non-party deputy head of Hongfu Township, I should be decided! ”
