Mr. Cao celebrated his birthday, and Cao Rui's family returned to Huimin Community carrying gifts.

Liu Xiaojing made all the gifts herself. She bought a woolen coat for each of the two elders, and then gave each of them a pair of elderly shoes. Duoduo was also carrying a big cake in her hand. Anyway, the whole family was carrying it. Something, happily.

As soon as he opened the door, Duduo said: "Happy birthday, grandpa!" The old man's heart melted.

Cao Rui and Liu Xiaojing changed their shoes and entered the door. Cao Rui saw Yao Changhui sitting on the sofa. Cao Rui had a headache when he saw this person, but today was his father's birthday, and Cao Rui couldn't hide.

Yao Changhui was familiar with him and said to Cao Rui:

"Xiao Rui, today is Mr. Cao's birthday. We have been colleagues for decades, so we have to come over to celebrate!"

Cao Rui smiled bitterly, thinking that you, Lao Yao, had not seen you congratulate the old man on his birthday for decades before.

While Cao Rui and Yao Changhui were talking, another guest came. Liu Sheng's family and his seventh uncle Wang Hua also came. Liu Sheng's father Liu Chuping also spoke more straightforwardly. He said:

"Oh, most of the faces are old this year, except for one old Yao! Old Yao, do you also remember Mr. Cao's birthday?"

Yao Changhui was thick-skinned and not embarrassed at all. He said:

"Why don't you remember? In the old days when department stores were booming, I couldn't remember Mr. Cao's birthday. I asked you to go down and visit the store for a year until you were convinced!"

Yao Changhui and Liu Chuping teased a few words and then struck up a conversation with Cao Rui.

If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, there must be something for him to come here. Sure enough, Yao Changhui told Cao Rui with saliva on his face:

"Xiao Rui, you are promising now! Director Bian of our Tobacco Bureau told me that he wanted to treat you to a dinner. Can you give Uncle Yao some face at this dinner?"

Bian Zhaobing?

Cao Rui thought to himself that Director Bian Zhaobing of the Tobacco Bureau is so impressive. If he wants to have dinner with me, does he need Yao Changhui to come forward?

Cao Rui said:

"Uncle Yao, Director Bian wants to have dinner with me. It's only a matter of minutes. Do you still need to invite me?"

Yao Changhui told Cao Rui that his youngest son Yao Sheng had entered the tobacco system, but was inconvenient in Linxian, and he wanted to find connections to get his youngest son back to Yongping.

It just so happened that Bian Zhaobing had the idea of ​​​​looking for Cao Rui. Wouldn't it be a good match to set up a game?

Yao Changhui is a very annoying person, but he has one advantage, that is, he still does things without being secretive and says what he says.

Bian Zhaobing and Cao Rui didn't know each other before, but Bian Zhaobing's wife is Zhan Wanyi, the mayor of Huangtu Township. Last time Zhang Long, the party secretary of Huangtu Township, visited Cao Rui and had a meal together. Cao Rui judged that Bian Zhaobing was dating Cao Rui. Rui should have a relationship with his wife.

Sure enough, after Cao Rui agreed to Yao Changhui, he made an appointment for dinner the next day. Bian Zhaobing and Zhan Wanyi came together. Both of them were cadres at the official level, and they both had full-time positions at the official level, which was rare in Yongping politics.

Zhan Wanyi told Cao Rui: "Director Cao, Secretary Zhang and I planned to treat you to dinner last time. You accompanied the county magistrate to our township several times for the loess matter. It happened to me that I had visited you several times. I feel really ashamed that I’m not in the countryside. So I told Lao Bian at home that we have to treat you to a meal no matter what, otherwise I’ll be embarrassed!”

Zhan Wanyi, who can be the head of a township, has a high level of speaking skills and a strong affinity. Bian Zhaobing said:

"Director Cao, when people mention our husband and wife, they envy us, saying that we are both leading cadres! In fact, what is there to envy? We have all gone to work, and the family has been neglected. Now the children's grades are in a mess, and they are about to go to high school. If If you fail to get into No. [-] Middle School, you will have no idea how much trouble you will have when you look back!"

Bian Zhaobing paused and said:

"Although our mayor Zhan Wanyi is a girl, she has a very strong personality. I didn't agree with going to Huangtu Township at first, but she was determined to go. Now that her child's grades have failed, she wants to come back again.

It's not easy to go from the countryside to the city. It would be easy for her to function if she was the top leader. Now she is a township head. Where can she get a seat in the city? "

After Bian Zhaobing said this, it was probably clear what the intention of this dinner party was.

Zhan Wanyi also wanted to go to the city. Cao Rui rubbed his temples. He had suddenly had more meals in the past few days, probably all for the purpose of cadre adjustment.

Mao Jun is in the same situation as Zhan Wanyi. He wanted to go to the city last year, but after working hard for a year, there is still no way to settle the matter.

Yongping is a mountainous county, who doesn’t want to go to the city? Nowadays, without hard connections, it is really difficult to get into the city.

Cao Rui said:

"Mr. Zhan, let me tell you the truth! All I can do is help you find a suitable opportunity and arrange a meeting between you and the county magistrate. I can't help with anything else!"

Cao Rui didn't hide it, and made the boundaries of his abilities clear first.

According to Cao Rui's current situation, Ling Feng must make progress in personnel this year. One of the key positions is the head of the Education Bureau, and the other is the head of the Finance Bureau. Ling Feng must strive for one of these two positions.

Ling Feng has a clear goal, which will definitely require some sacrifices and compromises. I don't know how Ling Feng will choose in this regard.

Ling Feng was definitely satisfied with Tang Rong as the best candidate to be the head of the Finance Bureau, but Tang Rong was now in charge of the Urban Construction Bureau, which was also a very important unit, so it was probably difficult to leave.

Mao Jun and Ling Feng had a good discussion, but Mao Jun was only the mayor of the town and was not qualified enough to take over as the top leader of the Finance Bureau. Among the remaining people, Cao Rui was more optimistic about Zhang Long, the mayor of Huangtu Township, and Qilihe. Ding Yibo, secretary of the town party committee.

Of course, being the top leader of the Finance Bureau is no small matter. No matter who Zhang Long or Ding Yibo seems to be able to achieve that position, it is definitely considered a special reuse of the organization.

After Cao Rui and Bian Zhaobing had their meal, they quickly reported the relevant situation to Ling Feng. Ling Feng rubbed his temples and said:

"Zhan Wanyi has vigorously developed flue-cured tobacco in Huangtu Township. The economic income of the people in Huangtu Township has increased significantly in recent years. She has contributed a lot! If Zhang Long wants to leave, she will be the most satisfactory candidate to take over as secretary..."

Cao Rui said:

"County Magistrate, I told her the same thing, but Township Magistrate Zhan said it is best for the top leaders in Huangtu Township to be men. It is more difficult for women to do their jobs! Besides, with the situation at home, she should be quite capable. pressure!"

Ling Feng stopped talking. He held the tea cup in his hand and drank tea. Cao Rui slowly withdrew.

He knew that Ling Feng's gesture was to think about important issues. The most important thing in the officialdom was personnel issues. The party was in charge of personnel. Most of the personnel power was in the hands of Zhang Shenyang. Ling Feng did not have that much room for activities as the county magistrate.

Recently, he has been keeping an eye on the finance director. He secretly bumped into Zhang Shenyang several times. What Zhang Shenyang conveyed was probably that if Ling Feng wanted to take this important position, he should not get involved in other places.

Ling Feng felt that Zhang Shenyang's price was too high, but he couldn't find a proper solution for a while, and it was a headache!
