Official Ladder [Grassroots Civil Servants]

After returning home, Wang Hongtao talked about the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee coming to the house for dinner tomorrow. Unexpectedly, the whole family was like a frying pan.

Liu Mengyao said in surprise: "Hong Tao, are you the head of the provincial party committee? How dare you invite such a big leader to our house? I won't tell you, I have to clean up the house quickly, and I can't let the big leader see the joke!" said After that, I ran to the bathroom to prepare for the general cleaning.

Parents were both surprised and nervous. The secretary of the provincial party committee came to the house, which showed that his son was highly valued. This was a big deal, and they were busy helping Liu Mengyao clean up.

Liu Mengyao ran out again and said, "Hong Tao, I've made an agreement with you in advance. You have to invite people to dinner, and you have to figure it out yourself. I don't dare to use my little ability to make a fool of myself."

"Don't worry, I will cook by myself. Tomorrow, I will eat mutton and stir-fry a few more dishes. You don't have to worry about it."

Wang Hongtao also joined in the cleaning and was in charge of wiping the glass. Liu Mengyao and her parents were still not satisfied with cleaning until ten o'clock in the evening, and planned to continue tomorrow.

The next day, after breakfast, everyone performed their duties. Wang Hongtao went out to do the shopping, Liu Mengyao tidied up the room, parents cleaned up, and Xiao Mingyu was in charge of making trouble.

At twelve o'clock at noon, Wang Hongtao began to stew the mutton. He first heated it in a pot under cold water, removed the foam, and took it out for later use. Then he put oil in the hot pot, put pepper, fragrant leaves, star anise, cinnamon, onion, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, and put in Stir-fry the mutton, then pour it into a stainless steel bucket, add white wine, water, and chicken powder, bring to a boil on high heat, turn to low heat and simmer slowly, and then start to prepare other ingredients, including potato stewed beef, pork rocker noodles, stir-fried western Blue flower, cabbage tofu, egg and persimmon pepper, these are Wang Hongtao's specialty dishes, and the level can be said to be perfect. Although a little raw, the taste is absolutely guaranteed, and Secretary Chen can see his sincerity.

After three o'clock, Guo Mingxiong came, took a few bottles of wine in very old packaging, greeted his family, and went to the kitchen to help.

"Hong Tao, what should I do?"

"Minister, you can peel the onion and mash the garlic, as long as you don't make trouble! I can chat with you."

"Don't underestimate me, people in our generation can do housework."

Wang Hongtao smiled and said nothing, Guo Mingxiong found Suan and started to work.

"Hong Tao, have you figured out how to answer Secretary Chen? To let the leaders know the most real situation at the grassroots level, I feel that the secretary wants to completely rectify the oilfield company. After all, it is the largest state-owned enterprise in our province. It monopolizes resources and can still behave like that. , who is not angry?"

"Minister, I did some homework last night, starting with counties and townships. The main problems are the disadvantages. I hope I can give Secretary Chen some ideas."

After four o'clock, Wang Hongtao prepared all the dishes, and the beef stew with potatoes began to cook.

When it was almost five o'clock, the doorbell rang, and Wang Hongtao and Guo Mingxiong rushed to answer the door. It turned out to be Secretary Chen Deming and Secretary Wu Xiaohua.

Looking at Wang Hongtao wearing a big apron, Chen Deming said with a smile: "You really cook yourself? There are not many young people who can cook now. Mingxiong is also here, just because there are more people and lively."

Guo Mingxiong said: "Secretary, I live upstairs in Hongtao. He said he wanted to cook, but he insisted on coming to chat with the secretary."

After entering the door, under the guidance of his mother, Xiao Mingyu said in a childlike voice, "Hello, Grandpa Chen!"

Chen Deming showed a kind smile, hugged Mingyu and said, "The little guy is so cute, has he gone to kindergarten yet?"

"Well, I'm already a big friend of Xiaoban!"

One sentence made everyone laugh. Wang Hongtao introduced his parents and Liu Mengyao again, and said, "Secretary Chen, please chat with Minister Guo first. I'll go to the kitchen. The dishes will be ready soon."

Sitting on the sofa, Chen Deming looked it over and said, "I thought Hong Tao, the richest civil servant, would live in a big villa. It seems that he is a little self-aware. The house is bigger, but it can be justified."

Guo Mingxiong said with a smile: "Hongtao can indeed make money, but he doesn't have high material requirements. He even told me yesterday that he wants to use his own money to pay off the debts of Zhenbei District."

"What nonsense, let other comrades do it? Besides, Comrade Liu Mengyao can't agree!"

Liu Mengyao hurriedly said: "In fact, the family doesn't spend much money, and the salary is enough. The first time Hong Tao told me that the family has tens of millions, I was stunned. I was afraid that he would make a mistake. Fortunately, he earned it all by himself. .”

Chen Deming said: "Sometimes I really can't figure out that a civil servant can earn so much money. If he is allowed to start a business, he may achieve even greater achievements!"

Guo Mingxiong hurriedly said: "Hongtao's ambition is not here, but I still want to do some practical things down-to-earth. I often tell me that although I am very busy in Zhenbei, I am very fulfilled and happy." I am afraid that the secretary will be tempted and transfer Wang Hongtao to the oil field Guo Mingxiong knew that the leader was looking for candidates for the leadership team of the oilfield company recently.

In less than 10 minutes, Wang Hongtao finished frying the dishes, including the mutton and potato stewed pork ribs, and asked Liu Mengyao to help serve the dishes for the rice.

Sitting at the dining table, Chen Deming was very surprised and asked, "Hong Tao, did you make this all by yourself? It looks very simple! The color and fragrance are complete, and the taste is probably not bad."

Wang Hongtao filled a bowl of mutton and handed it to Chen Deming, saying: "Secretary, please try it. I learned this from the master."

Another bowl was filled for everyone, Liu Mengyao also filled the rice, and everyone started to eat.

After tasting a few mouthfuls, Chen Deming praised: "It's not that I compliment the chef, the taste is really fragrant, without any smell, and other dishes are also fried well. Hong Tao, with this skill, you won't be hungry anywhere!"

Secretary Wu Xiaohua also said: "District Chief Wang, I have also been to several counties in Yingjiang. To be honest, this mutton tastes really good, absolutely authentic!"

Wang Hongtao said with a smile: "Everyone should eat more if it tastes delicious. The food made at home is clean and hygienic."

Chen Deming ate a bowl full of mutton and a bowl of rice, and also tasted other dishes. Wu Xiaohua said: "It's rare for the secretary to eat so much. Sometimes I really worry about the secretary's body, and I don't have time to exercise."

After the meal, Liu Mengyao knew that he wanted to talk about something, so he went downstairs with his parents and the children to digest food. Wang Hongtao served some cold dishes on the table. Guo Mingxiong opened a bottle of white wine and said, "Secretary, let's have a few drinks." Well, control the total amount, you drink two taels, and the few of us should not exceed half a catty at most, how about it?"

"Okay, it's okay to drink less, it's rare to have an appetite today."

After drinking for three rounds, Chen Deming said: "Hong Tao, you have worked in townships and counties, and you have dealt with oilfield companies for many years. Let me talk about your views. Don't just talk about the shortcomings of the results, but also about their shortcomings. Evaluation of the leadership team.”

Wang Hongtao thought for a while and said: "Secretary, let me talk about my personal opinion. I have seen and heard it at work. First, the phenomenon of stealing and selling oil is serious. The government and businessmen colluded, and privately opened oil refineries. At the same time, it seriously violated the interests of the country. When I was the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee in Ningyang, I destroyed several gangs. In Ningyang County alone, the benefits generated by this interest chain are at least several hundred million, which is unimaginable when looking at the whole province; Second, the development and utilization of natural gas is insufficient, and there is a serious waste phenomenon. Go to the oil area to see that all the natural gas produced by the drilling platform is led to a place far away from the platform for ignition, the purpose is to reduce the damage to the ozone layer of the atmosphere and minimize Greenhouse effect, but this is a great waste of resources, and the technical level cannot keep up; third, the management level is not high, and their assessment is heavy on output, which leads all oil production plants to put output first and ignore the economy. The problem of output is contrary to the law of market economy centered on economic benefits; fourth, the cost budget and analysis work does not have considerable and reliable reservoir cost data analysis, resulting in costs greater than economic benefits. When international oil prices rise, they are even losing money Fifthly, there is a huge team of well-lighting workers. In many places, one person only works on two or three wells. It is possible to know how high the operating costs are. Sixth, the phenomenon of buying and selling officials, appointing officials to make wishes, and disorderly recruitment are quite serious. , whoever has a relationship will suddenly become a formal worker, lacking effective constraints; seventh..."

Wang Hongtao talked about [-] items in one breath. For more than half an hour, Wu Xiaohua put down the pen in his hand, and Chen Deming said solemnly, "Mingxiong, do you have anything to add?"

Guo Mingxiong said: "Secretary, Hongtao has a deeper understanding of this aspect than I do. I have nothing to say."

"It seems that it's time for major surgery on the oilfield company! Hongtao, do you intend to work in a company for a while?"

Wang Hongtao said bluntly: "Secretary Chen, I just opened a stall in Zhenbei, and I really don't want to give up halfway, and I'm just a department, so I won't be able to play a big role if I go there. Secretary, please forgive Hongtao for his ignorance. I I still want to do local work in a down-to-earth manner for two years, and when I have accumulated some work experience and have a certain ability to work, I will lead the charge for the secretary."

Chen Deming nodded and said: "You really can only be a middle-level person when you go. You have done a good job in Zhenbei. The provincial party committee has been paying attention. Some work is very thoughtful, and it is relatively safe to deal with some problems. Let's do it with courage. , and strive to make greater achievements.”

"Secretary, Zhenbei District is the county with the heaviest local debt in Yingjiang City. I can't breathe under the pressure. I have been constrained a lot in my work. Can the provincial party committee and the provincial government support me?"

Chen Deming said with a smile: "Don't push yourself too hard, I know that the governor just approved a sum of money for you, and I know about the debt petition issue in Zhenbei."

Wang Hongtao smiled embarrassingly: "Although part of the problem has been solved, there is still a big gap. The secretary should support me at least!"

"Don't talk to me about the money. If you have the ability, you should go to the provincial government. Besides, you are so good at making money, so you can't make some money for Zhenbei District. Isn't it very capable? You can only solve the problem by yourself. Ability, I believe you have this ability!"

Everyone drank and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.At eight o'clock, under Wu Xiaohua's reminder, Chen Deming got up and said goodbye. There was a private reception that he needed to attend.

After the leader left, Wang Hongtao and Guo Mingxiong sat on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. Guo Mingxiong said, "Hongtao, today's meal will save you three years of struggle!"

"Minister, I hope you can go down to the ruling side as soon as possible!"
