Entering the officialdom by mistake and getting promoted quickly

Thanks to Minister Mei's insistence, this lunch was very simple.

Xia Shuo picked the vegetables.

The steamed buns are steamed in the kitchen.

No one was allowed to drink alcohol and had a working meal with clear soup and little water.

After finishing the meal, Minister Mei declined the proposal to take a lunch break. Showing her crisp style, she directly asked to go to Pine Forest Village to station.

The Qingshan Township Government could only agree.

Neither Secretary Cui nor Township Chief Wang dared to show procrastination on this matter. Instead, they showed their initiative and urgency, saying that they also wanted to choose a village to station in.

Minister Mei was very pleased and praised her on the spot.

But immediately afterwards, Secretary Cui and Township Chief Wang unanimously said that although they would definitely choose a village to station in, they must first accompany Minister Mei to Songling Village today.

Although Minister Mei declined repeatedly and even acted as serious as a county party leader, Secretary Cui and Township Chief Wang never bowed their heads and insisted on accompanying Minister Mei to the countryside.

In fact, the reason for their insistence is very simple. The two top leaders of the party and government are worried about accidents. Even at the risk of contradicting Minister Mei, they must accompany Yi to the village on the first day.

The rules within the system are like this sometimes. It's not serious if you can't do your job, but it's serious if your leader has trouble on your ground.

Therefore, Secretary Cui and Township Chief Wang insisted on going.

Even several other party committee members expressed their intention to follow suit. These people did not necessarily want to show favor to the leader, but were genuinely worried that something might happen to the leader.

Faced with this situation, Xia Shuo was a little confused. After all, he had just entered the system and felt that he had gained new insights.

On the contrary, as the leader of the county party committee, Minister Mei was very familiar with the unspoken rules within the system, so she stopped insisting after declining several times, and instead acquiesced to the leaders of Qingshan Township to follow.

Therefore, the team heading to Pine Forest Village was very large.

As the leader of the county party committee, Minister Mei came here in an official car this time. Since Songlin Village is far away from the township, he still took a car when he went there.

This old-fashioned Beijing Jeep is in good condition. Although the country roads are bumpy, it has no difficulty in driving.

The jeep was in front, followed closely by two motorcycles. Secretary Cui rode one and Township Chief Wang rode the other. The two motorcycles chased the jeep closely. It was easy to drive on the country road.

However, it will be more difficult for the people following behind.

The reason is that Qingshan Township is too poor. The entire party committee and government only have two motorcycles in total. The remaining people's means of transportation can only be bicycles that rely on two feet.

For example, five township party committee members, each riding a Phoenix, glared with their feet and tried to catch up.

There are also the top leaders of several important units in the township. They all went to Songlin Village with them today, so they each also rode a bicycle, and they were also pedaling hard.

He used all his strength and rushed forward to catch up.

Everyone wants to get to Songlin Village early, and no one wants to be left behind. Otherwise, when Minister Mei gets there, he will find that someone arrived late. Once a bad impression is left, it will be difficult to make up for it.

Compared to everyone's anxiety, Xia Shuo seemed relatively calm. Although he was pedaling hard on his bicycle, he didn't have the sense of urgency that everyone felt.

but……

He is not in a hurry, someone is in a hurry.

But it turned out that Director Lin from the Family Planning Office was a woman, so she did not choose to ride there by herself this time. Instead, she took Xia Shuo's bicycle and asked Xia Shuo to drive her along.

Along the way, Director Lin kept urging, his tone was obviously uneasy, even anxious, and he kept saying: "Xiaoxia, can you go a little faster? Look, everyone is ahead of us."

"Xiaoxia, tell me, will Minister Mei get angry?"

"The family planning work in Songlin Village is very poor. Almost every household has more than one child. If Minister Mei sees this situation, she will definitely criticize our work performance..."

"Xiaoxia, can you hurry up a little bit? Let's get to Songlin Village early, and I'll find a way to get the village committee to cover up."

Faced with the director's urging, Xia Shuo could only give a wry smile and persuaded: "The facts are already there, how long can we hide them? Director Lin, think about it, Minister Mei will be stationed in Songlin Village for a month. . During this month, she will definitely deal with the villagers. When she discovers your cover-up, I think it will trigger her anger. "

Director Lin's tone trembled and he subconsciously asked, "What should we do?"

Xia Shuo let out a hey, continued pedaling, and said, "I think it's best not to hide this matter and put the truth directly in front of Minister Mei. In this way, a sincere attitude will be revealed. "

Director Lin was very hesitant and said in a low voice: "Will I be severely criticized by Minister Mei if I do this?"

Xia Shuo let out another hey, looking at the jeep in front of the road, and suddenly asked: "Did you find something interesting? Minister Mei's car drove very slowly on this road. It was obviously a car, but it was Very slow……"

Director Lin was slightly startled. He didn't understand what Xia Shuo meant for a moment, so he couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to express?"

Xia Shuo smiled and said: "I didn't want to express anything. I just figured out something myself. I think the reason why Minister Mei's special car is slow is because she asked the driver to deliberately slow down the car."

Director Lin still didn't understand and asked again: "What does this mean?"

Xia Shuo expressed his guess and said: "It can be seen that Minister Mei is a soft-hearted person. The reason why she slowed down the car was because she was worried that we would be too tired to chase after riding... Facing such a soft-hearted leader, We sincerely point out the shortcomings of our work, Director Lin, tell us, will she criticize severely?"

Director Lin suddenly realized it and praised Xia Shuo very much, saying: "Young people's minds are flexible. Why didn't I figure this out?"

Xia Shuo let out a hey and said, "You are confused because you are concerned. You are afraid that Minister Mei will find out that the situation of superborns in Songlin Village is serious, so you can't calm down and think about this matter."

Director Lin sighed and said: "Who in the officialdom is not afraid of the leader? After all, I am the first person responsible for family planning work."

Suddenly, she lowered her voice and said in a friendly tone: "If Minister Mei gets angry because of the birth problem, Xiaoxia, you have to help me smooth things over. Say a few good words for me so that I can pass..."

Xia Shuo rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I have said it several times, I am really not a relative of Minister Mei."

Director Lin stretched out his hand and punched him, pretending to be angry and said: "You want to keep secrets from me? Are you using such excuses to fool outsiders? Xiaoxia, please check your conscience. How do I, the eldest sister, treat you?"

Xia Shuo spoke helplessly and replied honestly: "Sister Lin, you are very good to me!"

Director Lin added: "On the first day you reported to the Family Planning Office, I directly pushed you to the position of deputy director. Xiaoxia, now it's your turn to help me..."

Xia Shuo was even more helpless, but could not refute, so he could only agree: "Okay, I will do things according to my conscience. If Minister Mei really gets angry because of the issue of super births in Songlin Village, at worst, I will accept the reprimand from the leader together with you."

Director Lin was overjoyed and said happily: "I have a good idea in my heart. As long as I have you, I will definitely be able to pass the test."

Xia Shuo sighed and said secretly in his heart: "It's a pity that you may not be stable because you have a good heart. I really have no relatives at all with Minister Mei."

He knew very well that Minister Mei's admiration for him was only short-lived, because he told the pity of Liu Laogen's family, which happened to touch the softness of Minister Mei's heart as a woman.

……

Because Director Lin received Xia Shuo's assurance, she no longer seemed as anxious as at the beginning. She no longer urged Xia Shuo on the rest of the journey.

Although she stopped urging, Xia Shuo was not lazy. He always followed the front group 5 on his bicycle, ensuring that he would not fall too far behind those people.

The township station is about ten miles away from Songlin Village. Since everyone was rushing, it only took more than 20 minutes to arrive.

Minister Mei’s jeep was parked at the entrance of the village, and he seemed to be planning to enter the village on foot.

Secretary Cui and Township Chief Wang quickly stopped their motorcycles and deliberately placed them on the edge of the dirt road in front of the village.

Minister Mei was very satisfied with this and praised: "It is the busy farming season now. There is only this dirt road at the entrance of the village. When people come back from harvesting crops, they must enter the village through this dirt road. You can park your motorcycle on the roadside, Obviously he has realized that he has to make way for the people, which is good, this is what parents should do..."

Secretary Cui and Township Chief Wang were praised, and their faces were full of joy, and they all expressed their opinions: "This is what we should do. The first priority in administering policies is to disturb the people."

Minister Mei became more and more satisfied.

While they were talking, everyone riding bicycles behind them also arrived. Following each other's example, they also parked their cars on the side of the road.

Minister Mei took a special look at Xia Shuo and said with a smile: "Comrade Xia Shuo, lead the way. Secretary Cui praised you for being familiar with each village. I want to see how familiar you are with each village?"

Everyone present was envious, thinking that Minister Mei deliberately let Xia Shuo behave.

In fact, few people know that Minister Mei is born with such a straightforward character. Although she has reached the level of a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, she still maintains the straightforwardness to do whatever comes to her mind.

Xia Shuo was called out in public, but he was not frightened. Instead, he agreed without any humility and asked: "Where are you going to go first? The village committee or the farmer's home? You tell me a place and I will take you there directly."

Minister Mei pondered for a moment and said in a strict tone: "Since I am here to help the poor in the village, I cannot bypass the most basic village committee organization, so let's go to the village committee first..."

Xia Shuo nodded immediately and agreed: "Okay, then I will take you to the village committee first."

After saying that, he led the way directly in front. As he walked, he smiled and said: "It's only a few hundred steps away in total. I would like to invite you to see the villages of Songlin Village along the way."

These words made the township leaders present feel very worried.

Secretary Cui and Township Chief Wang Xia Shuo glanced at the same time and kept hinting: "You stupid boy, can you not mention this? Songlin Village is very poor, and almost every household is a broken house. Why don't you mention it? Okay, let’s ask the leader to observe the village!”

Only Minister Mei looked pleased and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiaoxia is very thoughtful. I really should take a closer look at Songlin Village. After all, I want to stay here to alleviate poverty, so I must understand the real situation in this village."

Xia Shuo did not answer the question, nor did he show any joy at being praised by the leader. He continued to lead the way in an orderly manner, deliberately passing by the gates of some particularly poor farmers.

As Xia Shuo led the way, Minister Mei kept observing the villages along the way. Gradually, Minister Mei's face became serious.

As far as the eye can see, they are all thatched houses.

Every house has earthen walls, but there is not a single red brick in sight.

It is now the 9s, and the reform and opening up has been carried out for 11 years. However, the poverty of the village in front of him shocked Minister Mei who came here for the first time.

So shocked to be so poor.

With Minister Mei's shrewdness and experience, she had vaguely guessed Xia Shuo's intentions. He did it on purpose and took her to see the poor side of this village for herself.
