Excellent little farmer

I smiled, waved my hand gently and said, "Yetang, I accept your wishes, so I'll skip this meal. I'm not an outsider, so there's no need to be polite."

Seeing my firm attitude, Zhong Yetang stopped insisting. After refilling my tea, he quietly walked out with two documents.

I raised my hand and looked at my watch. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. After finishing my work, I turned on my computer and started playing Landlords. As soon as I played a game, I received a call from Li Yongcang, Secretary of the County Party Committee, asking him to I went over to sit down, and I quickly quit the game, turned off the computer, opened the door and walked out.

Li Yongcang's office is very spacious, and it is also a suite. It has a bedroom and a bathroom. The decoration in the office is simple and elegant. Behind the large boss desk is a long row of bookcases, which contain books and various files. There is a shop in the center of the room. There is a thick cashmere carpet, a row of leather sofas on the left and right, two pine and cypress bonsais in the corner, and several large photos hanging on the pink wall, all of which show provincial and municipal leaders shaking hands cordially with Li Yongcang.

When I entered the room, Li Yongcang had just walked out of the independent bathroom, wiped his hands with a towel, then greeted me with a smile, made tea for me personally, the two of them lit cigarettes, and sat on the sofa to chat. .

Li Yongcang raised his hand and touched the cup on the coffee table, and said softly: "County Magistrate Ye, I have read your opinions on the document just now. They are very pertinent. The draft drafted by the county party committee office is not very rigorous and a bit radical. I have already written it." I severely criticized Director Zheng over the phone and asked them to study it carefully and revise it again. The investment promotion work should still focus on rewards, supplemented by punishments, with heavy rewards and light punishments, so as to fully mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for participation."

I smiled, nodded and said: "Secretary Li, I agree with your point of view. It is better to be cautious in this work. I remember reading in the newspaper that many cities in the south have launched similar plans, but the steps are too big." , not only government cadres have the task of attracting investment, but also schools and enterprises have given quotas. If they fail to complete the task, even the basic salary will be deducted, causing complaints from the subordinates and almost killing people. Later, they were urgently stopped by the superior leaders. , we should learn from their experiences and not repeat the same mistakes."

Li Yongcang frowned, and a trace of imperceptible sullenness appeared on his face for a moment, but it soon disappeared into a bright smile. After taking a deep breath of cigarette, he patted his knees gently with his left hand and turned to look I said with a smile: "During the last meeting in the city, Comrade Huo Chonghao, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, was very interested in our plan of 'big investment and big development' and hoped that our mausoleum could actually achieve some results." , County Magistrate Ye, after some time, we plan to set up an investment promotion working group, with me as the team leader, you as the first deputy team leader, Chaoyang and other comrades on the Standing Committee as deputy team leaders, to effectively grasp the investment promotion work, Comrade Chaoyang age As you get older, your health has never been good, so you have to bear the burden, and you may have to go out for more trips in the future."

I tasted the meaning in his words, smiled noncommittally, and said nothing.

Li Yongcang lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then leaned back on the sofa, glanced at me gently, and changed the topic and said: "County Magistrate Ye, I heard that you moved out of Xishan Hotel a few days ago? Is it Manager Shen and the others? My service attitude is not good enough. If this happens, you must tell me. They gave me a military order and promised to take good care of your food and daily life."

I quickly waved my hand and said with a smile: "Secretary Li, the conditions at Xishan Hotel are good and the services are also very good. It's just that there are too many places in the county that need to spend money, because I alone spend tens of thousands of yuan every year. I really couldn’t bear the funding, so I moved out, but I would also like to thank Secretary Li for his concern.”

Li Yongcang raised his hand and touched his hair, flicked the cigarette ashes between his fingers, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, County Magistrate Ye has such a high consciousness, it is really valuable, we leading cadres must set an example and take the lead." If all the leading cadres in Lingtai County can be like you, not greedy for pleasure and just concentrate on doing things, I won't worry."

I quickly waved my hand and said humbly: "Secretary Li, thank you."

Li Yongcang fiddled with the tea cup in his hand and said thoughtfully: "Where is the new residence? Are you still used to the food and accommodation?"

I smiled and said softly, "The environment is good on Laoxi Street. It's very quiet at night and the food is OK. There is a Maixiang restaurant at the entrance of the alley. It's not big, but the food is delicious. It's only ten yuan for a full meal." , it’s economical, I’ll be a host when I have time, and invite the secretary to eat the wheat rice there.”

Li Yongcang sighed, waved his hand and said: "You're okay. I just came here not long ago, and I don't know many people in the county. I can live a free life like ordinary people, but I can't. I'm on TV every day. There are almost no people in Lingtai County who don’t know me. Let alone eating out, even if I walk on the street, I will be stared at by a group of people, which will affect the traffic."

I smiled and put out the cigarette in my hand, threw it into the light blue ashtray, and said softly: "Yes, I also considered this in advance and told the TV station that when I must be on camera, Also pass by in a flash and don’t stay too long.”

Li Yongcang turned the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Ye is really good at being naughty, so this saves a lot of trouble."

I heard that there was a hidden edge in his words, as if he was taking the opportunity to beat himself up, so I raised my hand and touched my chin, smiling without saying a word.

Li Yongcang sighed, stood up from the sofa, walked slowly around the room for a few steps with his hands behind his back, then stopped, frowned, took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and took out his silver White lighter, 'Zheng! He lit the fire with a bang. After igniting the light blue flames, he took a sip and exhaled a faint smoke from his mouth. He stood there for a long time before turning around and saying meaningfully: "County Magistrate Ye, come to the mausoleum." Tai County’s time is not short. If you have any ideas or suggestions for the work of the county committee and county government, feel free to put them forward.”

I said calmly: "The work of the county party committee and the county government is generally good, and they are very united. As long as the team members can unite and work together, Lingtai County can still achieve great development in all aspects of its undertakings."

Li Yongcang frowned and waved his hand, obviously dissatisfied with my speech. He shook his head slightly and said: "County Magistrate Ye, we are usually very busy. It is rare that we have time to sit together and communicate, so we try our best to talk clearly. We must be open and honest, let me start with this. As the secretary of the county party committee, I feel a lot of pressure. If I only focus on party affairs and ignore government affairs, I will lose the party's decision-making power in major affairs and it is easy to make mistakes.

But after arresting too many people, some people still have opinions, making trouble behind their backs, saying that the top leaders are monopolizing power, and interfering in the work of the government. County Magistrate Ye, you have seen it. To be honest, at the Standing Committee meeting of our mausoleum , and they are still very democratic. They are already democratic enough that the deputy secretary has led a group of people to create a vacuum. It is really a big joke to marginalize a dignified secretary like me. "

After an impassioned speech, he waved his right hand habitually, with a helpless expression on his face. He turned around and sat next to me, frowning and smoking. Seeing that I was reluctant to express my position, he He had no choice but to continue: "County Magistrate Ye, to be honest, I am a lame secretary now. I have been made very passive by some people and I urgently need your support."

I touched my chin and pondered for a long time, and after talking in circles for a long time, Li Yongcang finally exposed the fox's tail. He was forcing himself to express his position, whether he supported him as the secretary or Wan Chaoyang.

The dispute between Li and Wan has no direct interest in me, a foreigner, and getting involved rashly would be harmful but not beneficial. I don't want to get involved.

But now, when money is easy to come by and votes are hard to come by, the secretary and deputy secretary are working hard to win the support of the three bystanders. The current tightrope is indeed getting thinner and thinner. The biggest problem with watching the show while sitting on the fence is that it is very It is easy to offend both sides. No matter which side wins, life will not be easy in the future.

After thinking about it, I sighed and said, "Secretary Li, you don't know something. Before I came down to take the post, Director Huang Wenhan of the Provincial Department of Transportation once specifically told me that the cadres of the Department of Transportation must respect the county leaders after they came down. He must give his opinions and work hard, but he cannot get involved in internal disputes, otherwise he will definitely deal with it seriously. Director Wenhan has always been strict with us cadres, so we must listen to his words."

Li Yongcang saw that I used Huang Wenhan, who was already a provincial and ministerial-level official, as a shield, and he had nothing to say for a while.

After he was disappointed, he could only wave his hand and said with a smile: "Haha! County Magistrate Ye, it's really hard to get this vote in your hand. In fact, Lao Wan and I have disputes about some work, so that's all It is normal, but he should not form gangs and carry out surprise attacks. Doing so will have a very bad impact, amplify the conflict, and make the cadres below also talk about it.

Of course, there must be something wrong with me in this. Sometimes when I get angry, I speak a little thoughtlessly and hurt Lao Wan's self-esteem. This is wrong. I should find an opportunity to talk to him again. "
