Excellent little farmer

Zheng Liangcai hurriedly replied: "County Magistrate Ye, I know Xiao Zhong very well. He was just transferred from the grassroots level. Although Xiao Zhong has not been in the county party committee for a long time, he works very hard and is good at writing. Articles He works steadily and has great literary talent. He is a young cadre that the county party committee office focuses on cultivating."

After hearing this, I nodded. Since Zheng Liangcai also spoke highly of this person, it meant that he still had some real talents. I smiled and said in a deep voice, "That's good. I'll take some time in the afternoon to ask him to come over." Come on, I want to talk to him."

Zheng Liangcai said hello, and after hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but frown slightly, puzzled. In fact, he had put some thought into choosing my secretary, and ranked his favorite candidate at the front of the list, and Everyone spoke highly of them, but County Magistrate Ye didn't choose from those people, but directly named Zhong Yetang, which was a bit strange.

He sat on the leather chair with his arms folded and pondered for a long time. A bright light suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly recalled that I, the county magistrate, was very experienced in developing industry, and Zhong Yetang was a former township cadre and was very knowledgeable about rural work. I am familiar with him. If I choose him as secretary, I can indeed assist County Magistrate Ye by my side, which will help me fully familiarize myself with grassroots work. Thinking about it this way, among the secretaries of the county committee office, only Zhong Yetang is the most suitable.

Thinking of this, Zheng Liang suddenly became enlightened, with a smile on his lips. He quickly dialed the phone and called Zhong Yetang in. He politely put him on the sofa and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhong, how are you doing this at the county committee office?" Will it take some time to get used to it?"

Zhong Yetang hurriedly leaned forward and said, "Thank you, director, for your concern. Everything is fine here."

Zheng Liangcai nodded and said with a smile: "That's good. I've been too busy with work recently, so I haven't had a good chat with you, but your usual performance is good, you are active and hard-working, and your abilities are also very outstanding. I have seen all of this. In your eyes, in your heart.

This time County Magistrate Ye came back from his studies. Zhong Yetang resigned and needed a full-time secretary. I thought you were good, so I recommended you to Magistrate Ye. Magistrate Ye agreed to meet you in the afternoon. In this way, you should take the time to prepare now. , go there early in the afternoon to seize this opportunity. "

Zhong Yetang was surprised at first, with a trace of disbelief on his face, but he quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Director, thank you for your trust. I will definitely perform well and work hard to win this opportunity."

Zheng Liangcai picked up the tea cup with a smile, lowered his head and took a sip, and said with a smile: "That's good! That's good! Well! You go back first, prepare well, don't let me down."

Zhong Yetang hurriedly got up and left. After returning to the office, he walked to the corner, pulled out a chair, sat behind the desk, opened his notebook, and made an outline on it, writing down all the things he should pay attention to after meeting County Magistrate Ye. After coming down, for fear of missing something, he simulated the questions and answers in his mind. He also felt that this was a major opportunity in his life. If he could grasp it, maybe things would turn around and he would no longer have to live with his tail between his legs and be looked down upon. .

Thinking of this, Zhong Yetang felt a little excited, and he felt a little bloating in his bladder. He quickly closed his notebook and hurried to the toilet. He stood by the toilet with his eyes closed for a long time, but he couldn't urinate. He was in a hurry. He broke out in sweat and stood for five minutes before he squeezed out two streams of turbid urine intermittently.

Zhong Yetang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, as if he had completed an important task. He shook lightly, then took back the limp guy, pulled up his trousers, tied his belt, and walked to the nearby basin to put water in and wash his hands. , dipped in water and gathered his hair, but found that his face was a little red, so he thought it was good luck, so he smiled, turned around and walked out.

While eating in the county office canteen at noon, he was still a little distracted. While he was deep in thought, Zhong Yetang suddenly noticed his colleague Feng Xiaoshan walking over with tableware. He suddenly felt a headache, quickly grabbed two steamed buns, got up, left the canteen, and returned to the office. He put the steamed bun on the file bag, opened the drawer, and took out a large pile of materials. He read it carefully, and from time to time he took a pen and scribbled numbers on the notebook.

At this time, Xiao Liu from the office opened the door and walked in. He laughed when he saw it, turned to Feng Xiaoshan behind him and said: "Xiaoshan, look, Zhong Xiucai is so hardworking. He works so hard and forgets to eat and sleep. I'm afraid he wants to be the first!" "

Feng Xiaoshan rolled her eyes at him, poured a glass of water after entering the room, walked to Zhong Yetang, snatched his pen and threw it aside, handed over the water, frowned, and said softly: "Brother Zhong, eat the steamed buns first, If you have any important materials, please leave them to me and I will write them for you."

Zhong Yetang smiled, waved his hand, stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth, and ate it with warm water. He turned to look at Xiao Liu, only to see him looking at him with a sneer, his eyes full of hostility, and he hurriedly said to Feng Xiaoshan: "Xiao Feng, it's okay. I can get it myself. You can go and do your work."

Feng Xiaoshan said oh, turned around and walked back to the desk. Before she could sit down, she heard Xiao Liu in front of him murmur softly: "He is a country bumpkin and a married man. As for being so obsessed with him, how did he get transferred from the countryside?" Others don’t know, but I, Liu Huaxuan, know best, and it’s not because of his wife..."

Feng Xiaoshan's expression changed after hearing this, she turned around and came to him, grabbed the ashtray on the desk, and raised her hand over it. Liu Huaxuan's face was immediately covered with ash, and he choked and coughed. Feng Xiaoshan sneered. , turned around and left the office.

Zhong Yetang sighed, put the materials on the table, took the towel, walked to Liu Huaxuan, and handed it over, but he slapped it away with his hand. With an angry look on his face, Liu Huaxuan wiped his face with a napkin, turned his head, and said angrily: "Surname Damn it, just go away, there’s no need for you to pretend to be a good person!”

Zhong Yetang had no choice but to turn around and walk out of the office. He stood in the corridor and smoked a cigarette silently. Looking down the window, he saw Feng Xiaoshan standing on the edge of the rockery, chatting with a lesbian from the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee. He let out a long sigh, put out half of the cigarette in his hand, threw it into the ashtray, and turned back.

In the afternoon, I sat behind a large desk and had an in-depth conversation with Zhong Yetang. I had a very good impression of this middle-aged man in his thirties. During the conversation, Zhong Yetang was clear in thinking, articulate, and responded very quickly. , and behaved solemnly. Except for being a little nervous when he first entered the house, his performance in other aspects was very good.

I first lightly asked Li Jianshe’s question. Zhong Yetang’s answer was consistent with Pang Jun’s. When Li Jianshe was the secretary of the Lingxi Township Party Committee, he was too arbitrary and offended many cadres below. At first, everyone was under his influence. However, when Lin Zhen was transferred to Lingxi Township as the mayor, everyone saw that he had a strong backing, dared to challenge Li Jianshe, and gained the upper hand in several fights, so they all fell over. , when Lin Zhen proposed to engage Li Jianshe, many cadres in the township responded one after another.

I smiled and said: "Then why didn't you join in then?"

A trace of pain appeared on Zhong Yetang's face, and he shook his head slightly and said: "Li Jianshe was kind to me. When he was a village cadre, he valued me very much. I can become the deputy township head because of his support." They said I was Li Jianshe's man, which is true. Although I couldn't support him publicly during his most difficult time, I couldn't do anything to add insult to injury."

I smiled and nodded, and asked casually, "What do you think of Lin Zhen, secretary of the township party committee?"

Zhong Yetang nodded slightly and said: "He is very courageous, never procrastinates in doing things, and is good at uniting comrades. The cadres of Lingxi Township are still very convinced of him."

I smiled and asked softly: "Then why does he keep targeting you?"

This question was a bit sharp, and Zhong Yetang found it difficult to answer. After thinking for a long time, he sighed softly and said softly: "County Magistrate Ye, in fact, Lin Zhen and I are college classmates. The reason why he went to Lingxi Township to work as a The mayor, I’m afraid, has something to do with me.”

Although Zhong Yetang didn't fully explain what he said, I had already realized that there might be some unknown old grudges between the two of them. Seeing that Zhong Yetang looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak, I did not continue to ask. He changed the topic with a smile. When the two of them brought up the topic of rural issues, Zhong Yetang's ability gradually came to light, and he began to talk and answer questions fluently.

He knows the situation of each natural village in Lingxi Township very well. He has given detailed answers to the population distribution, farmers' situation, population situation, general household income and expenditure, the proportion of paddy and dry fields, mountain forest area, and animal husbandry. Some of the figures are even accurate. Two decimal places, which made me look at him with admiration. In order to further examine him, I gradually upgraded the topic and expanded it to the county economy. As a result, the assessment finally turned into a lively discussion. Unknowingly, it lasted two hours. Has hurried past.

Looking at the excited look in Zhong Yetang's eyes, I smiled, slowly lit a cigarette, frowned and pondered...
