Entering the officialdom by mistake and getting promoted quickly

Secretary Cui was the first to react. He immediately looked at Xia Shuo pretending to be serious and said solemnly: "Did you hear that, brat? You must remember the leader's instructions. If you don't seek to improve, I will beat you up for the leader first."

Beating is not allowed in official circles, and almost no leader would beat up his subordinates. Everyone knew that Secretary Cui's threatening words were just a friendly gesture.

The four cadres of the Agricultural Bureau also spoke one after another, smiling and pretending to 'beat' Xia Shuo, and each said: "Comrade Xia Shuo, you must be careful. Don't get slapped by the leader and be transferred to the gate to stand there." Guard the gate…”

Section Chief Liu added a special sentence, joking in a mocking manner: "If that situation really happens, how will we find you in the future? Even if we say it, no one will believe it. One of our children is actually guarding the gate. Hahahaha, shame. I can’t afford that person!”

Xia Shuo knew that everyone was showing their goodwill to Minister Mei, but he did not dare to raise his tail at this moment. Instead, he pretended to be obedient and kept nodding his head honestly.

Everyone then laughed and pretended to let him go and continued to beat him.

Among all the people, only Mr. Wang looked embarrassed.

He also wanted to echo a few words and take the opportunity to express his goodwill to Minister Mei.

But because he had been suppressing Xia Shuo before, everyone knew that his relationship with Xia Shuo was tense. So he felt that he couldn't lose face for a while, and couldn't joke with Xia Shuo like everyone else, half-truthfully and half-fakely.

However, opportunities in officialdom are fleeting, and any opportunity lost is a pity.

So after Wang Xiangchang thought about it, he finally bit the bullet and spoke.

I saw him pretending to drink water to cover up his embarrassment, while using a tone that was half leader and half elder, and said to Xia Shuo: "Comrade Xiaoxia, did you hear clearly? You must remember Minister Mei's instructions. If you don't ask for help, If you go forward, I will also help keep an eye on you. When the time comes, I will fight with Secretary Cui and beat you until you can't get out of bed for three days."

Xia Shuo was slightly startled at first, feeling a little tired in his heart.

Even if others say he is good, who is your surname Wang?

When I came first in the exam two months ago, it is said that you were the first to slam the table to express objections. You even came up with an interview and assessment system, preparing to join forces with the party committee members to confront Secretary Cui.

It's because of Minister Mei's phone call that caused misunderstanding among all of you. I'm afraid that at the end of that day's interview, I will definitely be sent home by you.

Later, after I joined the company, you went to the family planning office to beat me up. You directly spoke out in front of everyone and suppressed me in a deliberate way.

These things did not happen a long time ago, but happened within two months right now. But now you are pretending to be an elder, and you actually follow Secretary Cui’s rhetoric...

Are you worthy?

Do I give you face?

I have to say that Xia Shuo is still young after all.

Although he had initially gotten used to the institutional work, he did not have the ability to do things on his own, so he did not immediately speak up. He was going to give Mayor Wang a little shame.

Fortunately, at this moment, Secretary Cui looked over in time. There was a hint in his eyes. He said half seriously and half kindly: "Xiao Xia, did you hear that? Mayor Wang will also be watching you. The leaders are right." Your concern must be understood with all your heart."

At the same time, Minister Mei also turned his gaze and said with a hint of seriousness: "Head Wang is also your leader. You should learn more from him in the future. If young people are too unruly, it will be difficult for them to grow and progress..."

Xia Shuo was shocked and suddenly realized something.

There are no eternal enemies in the officialdom, and the previous estrangement between him and Township Chief Wang was nothing at all.

In the past, he was just a pawn, but the other party was a powerful and upright township leader. Even if he was suppressed, everyone would think it was just and right.

Now he is still a small soldier, but Township Chief Wang has taken the initiative to show his kindness. Of course, they are looking at Minister Mei's face, but more importantly, they anticipate that he will be promoted.

Once he was really promoted, his rank was promoted to deputy section level. Although he was still half a level behind Township Chief Wang, he was already qualified for dialogue and communication.

That means that everyone already belongs to the same level, and the mutual barriers must be eliminated as much as possible, otherwise they will continue to hate each other and argue with each other at work, which will have unpredictable effects on both him and Mayor Wang.

After Xia Shuo understood all this, he immediately began to adjust his mentality and said in a feigned aggrieved voice: "Chief Wang, do you want to beat me up too? The secretary and the head of the town are fighting together. My small body can't bear it. .”

Mayor Wang was surprised and happy. How could he not hear the conciliatory meaning in Xia Shuo's tone? He laughed immediately and pretended to be serious again: "We are helping the leader to keep an eye on you, so that you don't disappoint Minister Mei's teachings. Disciples who are closed down and taught step by step must not lose the teacher’s face.”

The words "disciple" and "teacher" were deliberately made fun of by Township Head Wang. Unexpectedly, Minister Mei suddenly spoke and said with a meaningful smile: "I will not be his teacher, I will just teach him casually. Whether he will learn well or be a bad learner in the future, It all depends on whether he is willing to put his mind to it..."

These words made everyone hesitate slightly. They couldn't guess Minister Mei's true intention for a while. People in the officialdom were always cautious, so no one took up the matter.

Minister Mei seemed unwilling to continue this topic. Instead, he raised his hand and pretended to look at his watch and said, "It's getting late. Let's talk about business!"

So, today’s meeting finally officially started!

……

Regarding the future of the Pine Mushroom Project, detailed work divisions were made.

Xia Shuo is still the first person in charge, but the area he is responsible for is not only Songlin Village, but all villages in Qingshan Township, and even villages in the three surrounding towns.

Anyone who borders Qingshan Township and is at the foot of Mengshan Mountain can participate in this poverty alleviation project as long as farmers go up to the mountain to pick pine mushrooms.

The acquisition method is still the same as before, and the money is handed directly to the farmers. However, the source of the funds is no longer Xia Shuo's personal pocket, but all the acquisition needs are specially allocated by the township finance.

These allocations are directly distributed to each village committee, which organizes the purchase of local pine mushrooms, and then transfers them to Qingshan Township through centralized transfer for export arrangements.

Since a 400 million contract has been signed, no one is worried about sales. The focus of the discussion at this meeting is how to divide powers and responsibilities.

Powers and responsibilities mean political achievements.

Only with political achievements can you gain an official career.

Therefore, this meeting was quite difficult. The four cadres of the Agricultural Bureau and Secretary Cui kept arguing. As the second-in-command of the local officials, Township Chief Wang naturally had to support Secretary Cui for political achievements. The 4-ranking officials of Qingshan Township were united. Working together, they compete with each other almost without giving an inch.

On the contrary, because Xia Shuo was the first person in charge, no matter who was fighting for it, it would not affect him, so he seemed more leisurely and stayed at the meeting the whole time.

Occasionally, when the two sides were arguing, they both wanted him to speak and express his attitude. However, whenever this happened, Minister Mei would glance at Xia Shuo and signal to Xia Shuo not to speak and just listen honestly.

Finally, after more than an hour of dispute, Qingshan Township and the Agriculture Bureau reluctantly reached a consensus.

The pine mushroom industry was established as a project by the city's Agriculture Bureau, which provides nominal leadership. However, in the actual implementation of the project, cadres from Qingshan Township must be the main body.

The Agricultural Bureau can send some people to participate in the dispatching in the name of the leadership group, and even the bureau leaders will come to inspect and supervise and guide the poverty alleviation project.

In this way, the Agricultural Bureau shares part of the fruits of political achievements, and Qingshan Township, as a sharer, needs to receive certain compensation.

Since the fruits of profit distribution cannot be taken empty-handed, the Agriculture Bureau will allocate a special fund for the development of the pine mushroom poverty alleviation project in Qingshan Township.

But this is only a nominal special fund. Everyone knows that this fund is given to the Qingshan Township Finance Department. The funds will definitely be used for other purposes, such as repaying the arrears of teachers' salaries in the township, etc...

Once misappropriation occurs, it is a violation of laws and regulations. If it goes online, it must be held accountable. At this time, the Agriculture Bureau has to turn a blind eye and help Qingshan Township cover up the misappropriation.

After reaching these consensuses at the meeting, the township government and the Agricultural Bureau signed an assistance agreement on the spot, which finally eliminated the sword and sword, and the two sides immediately returned to a harmonious situation.

Xia Shuo witnessed the entire dispute and negotiation and felt that he had learned a lot of new things.

……

After the meeting, Qingshan Township, as the host, must entertain the guests.

In addition, today I suddenly learned that Minister Mei was about to be promoted, and would be directly promoted to the top secretary of the county, so Secretary Cui extended an invitation with great expectation and proposed that everyone have a work dinner at noon.

Faced with this proposal, Minister Mei was very considerate, but when he stood up and left the conference table, Minister Mei added a special sentence, saying: "When the comrades from the Municipal Agriculture Bureau come down, you must entertain them well and communicate with each other. Communicate and further enhance relationships..."

He paused slightly, changed his tone, and added: "Since we are preparing to entertain well, we must make more special dishes. Good dishes and meals take time, so I can use this time to take a rest."

How could everyone not listen to what the leader meant? They all nodded in unison and said, "It seems that Minister Mei just said that he would talk to Comrade Xia Shuo after the meeting, so we won't disturb him and come back to invite the leader during the dinner."

Minister Mei nodded and said with a slight smile: "I will go for a walk in the yard and chat with Xiao Xia. When the banquet starts, I will lead Xia Shuo there."

These words specifically mentioned Xia Shuo, and Minister Mei added another sentence immediately after, saying: "You also need to invite that little girl from the south. She is also a guest, and she comes with funds. Guests coming. This matter should have been handled by Xia Shuo, but I have to talk to Xia Shuo for a long time, so..."

Secretary Cui and Township Chief Wang spoke at the same time, and even the four cadres of the Agriculture Bureau also expressed their stance, saying: "Let's go together to invite this little girl, the God of Wealth."

Minister Mei nodded again, then waved to Xia Shuo and said, "Come with me for a walk in the yard and let's talk about you!"

Xia Shuo's heart moved slightly, remembering what Minister Mei said at the meeting that there would probably be a lot of pressure on him to be promoted to deputy section level.
