officialdom

The Qilihe Town Government Office Building is an old house built more than ten years ago. The exterior walls of the house are already mottled. The top floor has a wooden roof. Over time, some of the wood has rotted away, posing a considerable safety hazard. .

Cao Rui's office is on the east side of the second floor. There is a suite plus two lounges and bedrooms at the back. The living and working areas are together. It is not a hall-style suite, so it is very awkward to live in.

Cao Rui is the leader, so the conditions must be good. The dormitories for young cadres are still single rooms built in the 70s with bare brick structures. There is only a public toilet for each person. It is no wonder that young cadres can't stay there.

Cao Rui has been in office for more than a week. He had already thought of a blueprint in his mind before he came, but after arriving at Qilihe, all those blueprints were shelved. The miscellaneous daily affairs he has to deal with now can take up almost all of his time. time.

Grassroots work is not easy, things in Qilihe are complicated, and even trivial things can torture people to death.

There are more than a hundred science, bureaus, offices and ministries in the county. Strictly speaking, they are all leaders. Each unit assigns tasks to the lower levels. The party and government offices are responsible for processing various materials. Three full-time cadres are required to pass the inspection. .

Even like this, problems often occur. Once a problem occurs, it will be reported to the whole county, and then the performance of the secretary and the mayor will be deducted. When Cao Rui was the secretary of the county magistrate, he would look from top to bottom, and all he would see would be Smiley face.

But now that I have reached the grassroots level, my perspective changes and all I see are my butts. Therefore, it is said that my butt determines my head. It is not an easy task to be a good party secretary at the grassroots level.

"Boom, boom!"

"Come in!"

Qin Ke opened the door and came in with a smile. Cao Rui stood up and said:

"Old Tan, sit down! I've been here on the Qili River for ten days, and I haven't gone home in the middle of the trip. You and I are going back this weekend, and we can't stop visiting these wharves in the county. We are both newcomers to the Qili River, and we won't make the road smooth. I’m afraid the follow-up work won’t be carried out!”

Qin Ke said:

"Secretary, you have just come to work in the township, and you may not have fully adapted to the rhythm of the township. No grassroots work is perfect! People don't care who is the mayor or secretary, how they live their lives.

The U.S. government is bankrupt, and ordinary people are still living their lives as they should. So Secretary, sometimes we may need to relax our mentality! "

Cao Rui frowned, what was Qin Ke talking about? It sounds like my butt is not sitting straight.

Cao Rui can actually feel that several team members in the town are now in a wait-and-see attitude, and it cannot be ruled out that Qin Ke made some small moves.

Qin Ke is a veteran of the township. He has been working in the township for eight years and has rich experience. The key is that he has a wide network of contacts.

Although he was the mayor of Changti Town before, Changti Town and Qilihe Town are adjacent to each other, separated by water, and the exchanges between the two towns are very close!

When Cao Rui came to Qilihe, he really had a dark look. He must have had some confidence when Qin Ke came over, but he just hid aside and watched coldly, wanting to see Cao Rui make a fool of himself?

Cao Rui remained calm. He poured a cup of tea for Qin Ke and said:

"Old Tan, there are several people in our team. Everyone must perform their duties so that the work can be done! I am going to make a division of labor arrangement. Which one do you want to take care of?"

Qin Ke was stunned for a moment and said: "I... can do anything. Everything will be subject to your arrangements, secretary!"

Cao Rui laughed, thinking that Qin Ke was playing tricks on the government, would this work? Cao Rui didn't talk to him much. He picked up the phone and called Xu Yuanhong, director of the Party and Government Office:

"Inform the team to hold a meeting!"

Xu Yuanhong called back ten minutes later:

"Secretary, Secretary Liu Ming is going to the countryside at Taohuapu Market. I guess..."

"Let him come back for a meeting on all big things!" Cao Rui said. Xu Yuanhong didn't dare to say anything else. After hanging up the phone, sweat broke out on his forehead and he muttered:

"Damn it, the white-faced scholar has only been here for a week, and he's already acting crazy!"

According to Cao Rui's request, the Qilihe Town Party Committee team met in the small conference room. In addition to Cao Rui and Qin Ke, there were also Deputy Secretary Liu Ming, Chairman of the National People's Congress Xu Aimin, CPPCC Liaison Pang Mu, and Executive Deputy Mayor Yin Chenggang. There should be one or two more team members, but they are not available yet.

Deputy Secretary Liu Ming also serves as the organizational committee member, CPPCC liaison officer Pang Mu also serves as the political and legal committee member, and Xu Aimin also serves as the disciplinary inspection committee member. The township team is not as formal as the county.

Cao Rui did not communicate with Qin Keduo and spoke directly:

“The main purpose of calling everyone here today is to clarify the division of labor in our team! Deputy Secretary Liu Ming is responsible for organization, village and town construction, education, and culture. Chairman Xu Aimin is responsible for township enterprises, agricultural work, family planning, statistics, and production safety. Executive Deputy Mayor Yin Chenggang Responsible for finance, radio and television, urban management, tourism, and mining resources.

Pang Mu, liaison officer of the CPPCC, civil affairs, comprehensive governance, petitions, ethnic and religious affairs, transportation construction..."

Cao Rui made arrangements. While making arrangements, he asked Xu Yuanhong to send the relevant documents. Finally, he arrived at Qin Ke. He said:

"Mayor Qin Ke is responsible for the overall work of the town government..."

When Cao Rui said this, everyone looked at each other. You must know that at the township level, the general mayor needs to participate in the division of labor, because the township party committee secretary is the top leader, and is actually the general responsible, and what he says counts.

Under this political situation, the town mayor participates in the division of labor, manages part of the work, and then assists the secretary in overall work.

Cao Rui didn't assign any division of labor to Qin Ke. Could it be that he really asked Qin Ke to do all the work? This is obviously impossible! So what does he mean?

The atmosphere in the conference room became very subtle. Qin Ke's expression was very exciting. Cao Rui's move was completely beyond his expectation. It was obvious that Cao Rui didn't give him division of labor, that is, he didn't give him power, but he couldn't lose his temper yet. , because Cao Rui gave him a big hat and asked him to be responsible for the overall work of the government.

In the case where there is a party committee secretary, Qin Ke's so-called responsibility for comprehensive work is actually that he cannot be responsible for any work, because he cannot make the decision. Isn't all this empty talk?

"Everyone, this is the division of labor. Do you have any opinions?" Cao Rui asked.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't say anything. Cao Rui asked Qin Ke:

"Old Tan, can you tell me something?"

Qin Ke really spit out a mouthful of old blood, and his face turned green, but what should he do? Can he lose his temper?

Just now, Cao Rui came to see him in private to discuss the division of labor with him alone. Qin Ke generously expressed his attitude and let Cao Rui arrange it as he pleased, and he resolutely obeyed. What he thought was that no matter how Cao Rui arranged it, he could make Cao Rui's work difficult.

But he forgot one thing, that is, he must have more experience in township work than Cao Rui, but if he wants to play these tricks with Cao Rui and engage in these agency routines, he will really only be humiliating himself.
