Excellent little farmer

In fact, it is no wonder that in Qingyang official circles, perhaps the most cautious person is Deputy Secretary Jin. He rarely appears in public and is unwilling to participate in various activities. There are even rumors outside that he is not in good health. Well, he has severe liver disease. When it attacks, the pain is severe. He has to rely on medicine to continue working. For a few months every year, he has to go out to recuperate.

But no one can ignore Deputy Secretary Jin, because in Qingyang official circles, in terms of actual power, he may be second only to Municipal Party Committee Secretary Li Weiguo, and his actual influence is even higher than Mayor Xu Youbing, and he will be the next Municipal Party Committee Secretary A strong contender.

According to rumors, the most important reason why Li Weiguo has become an evergreen tree in Qingyang officialdom and remains invincible in the competition with several deputies is because of the full support of Deputy Secretary Jin. Inseparable, the two are staunch allies in politics, and their wives also have very close contacts. The two ladies have even become god-sisters.

Of course, this is just hearsay. At least when I looked from a distance, I saw that Deputy Secretary Jin looked very good, his face was rosy, he looked full of energy, and he was in a good mood. He couldn't see the slightest bit of illness, which showed that his physical condition was still excellent.

Those rumors were probably told by people with ulterior motives. After all, if an official is frail and sick, it will also affect his career prospects.

At the welcome banquet, Mayor Xu Youbing and Executive Deputy Mayor Yang Huaiping both gave enthusiastic speeches, speaking highly of Shang Tingsong's performance during his work in Qingyang, and wishing him a happy job in Lin'an and good time. When I visit, I can go back to Qingyang more often, care about the development and construction of my hometown, and promote exchanges between the two places.

These speeches were drafted by the secretaries. They were the same with few changes. No matter which leader left, they basically had the same rhetoric. However, when spoken by the two leaders, they were cadenced, extremely pleasant, and full of emotion. , full of human touch, attracted a burst of warm applause.

Shang Tingsong also improvised and said a few polite words. They were nothing more than expressing his gratitude to the leaders of the municipal party committee, colleagues in the municipal government, and the cadres below. He thanked the leaders for their training and comrades for their support, and hoped that everyone could work in the new era. In the past year, we have achieved great results again, bringing Qingyang's various tasks to an all-round development and reaching a new level.

After neat and rhythmic applause, the banquet began. Everyone was chatting and laughing while drinking and drinking. The atmosphere at the wine table gradually became lively. The table I was sitting at was near the corner. They were all staff from government offices, and several of them also met. We had met each other, but we were not very familiar with each other and could not name them, so Gao Jian introduced them one by one. Everyone clinked glasses, exchanged business cards, and said some flattering words of mutual concern.

Ten minutes later, officials from the next few tables stood up one after another, holding wine glasses, and lined up to propose a toast to the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee member's table. In addition to congratulating Shang Tingsong, they also wanted to take the opportunity to borrow flowers and offer Buddha statues to show respect to the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee.

Most of these people are the top leaders of the unit, and the standing committee members are also very considerate. They joke a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere at the middle table becomes extremely lively. More than a dozen people are talking and laughing around the table. It is very lively. People at nearby tables Cadres also looked around from time to time, looking for opportunities to toast.

Gao was extremely happy to see that things at work were settled, and he was even more grateful to me. He toasted to me and drank three or four glasses with me. He had a limited capacity for alcohol, and his face quickly turned red. He started chatting and patted my shoulder. Calling each other brothers and sisters, Yunshan started chatting under the fog.

After a few glasses of wine, I saw that some leaders had returned to the table, so I turned around, smiled, pursed my lips and said, "Secretary Gao, it's our turn."

"Okay, it's time."

Gao Jian grabbed the wine bottle, filled two glasses of wine, walked side by side with me, came to the table, smiled at the leaders, and said first: "Mayor Shang, Director Ye and I are here to toast you. I wish you all the best and a bright future.”

Shang Tingsong had drunk more than a kilogram of wine at this time, his face was glowing red, and he nodded and said: "Okay, but I'm drinking too much today, so just order as much as possible. We are all members of our family, so you don't have to be polite." .”

Hearing this, Gao Jian felt as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit. He smiled quickly, raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

Shang Tingsong took a sip of wine, put down the glass, turned his eyes to me, turned sideways, and said to the mayor Xu Youbing beside him: "Mayor Youbing, I will take this young man away in the future. Please give him a hand when the time comes." convenient."

After hearing this, Xu Youbing put down his chopsticks, smiled and waved his hands: "No, Tingsong, don't worry about poaching."

Shang Tingsong laughed, waved his hands to everyone at the table, and said half-jokingly: "Mayor Youbing is so stingy that he won't even let go of the little devil. It's not interesting enough."

Secretary-General Huang Jianzhang smiled when he heard this, touched his hair, and answered slowly: "Mayor Youbing is not stingy, he has seen through your brother's conspiracy. He is going to Lin'an, and the Hongtai Group's project is not Was it dug up?"

Shang Tingsong smiled, then shook his head and said: "How can that be possible? The projects have already been launched and will be put into production next year. No one can take them away."

Executive Vice Mayor Yang Huaiping smiled slightly and interjected: "Not necessarily. Many factories now change locations every few years. If you really transfer Xiaoye, let alone Hongtai's relocation, even if there is a conflict with the city, it will be fine." It’s hard to coordinate. At the critical moment, we can’t even find a firefighter, but what the hell!”

I stood at the table, listening to the ridicule of several city leaders, and was secretly surprised. He did not expect that these important figures in Qingyang's officialdom would understand his situation so well, which was a bit surprising.

At this time, Jin Changlun, the taciturn deputy secretary who had been sitting at the table, put down his chopsticks, crossed his shoulders with his hands, and looked at me thoughtfully with a smile on his face. There seemed to be some deep meaning in his eyes.

I was slightly moved in my heart, but I pretended not to see it. I greeted Shang Tingsong with a smile and left quickly. On this occasion, I was not very good at expressing myself. If I was toasting to other leaders, I would all do the same. What’s missing? Not very good at all.

But compared with the top leaders of those government agencies, my status at this time is still low. On this occasion, I should be more low-key and not appear too arrogant. Therefore, leaving in time is the best way to avoid unnecessary complications and embarrassment.

Of course, both Gao Jian and I have already seen that Shang Tingsong’s statement just now was actually to cheer me up and save face, and to fight for opportunities. The implication is that this kid is a talent. If you don’t agree, Reuse it, I'm going to take it away.

When we returned to the wine table, Gao Jian handed me a cigarette, lit it for me, and lit one himself. He sighed and said, "Brother, I have been with the boss for so long and I have never seen him treat others like this." I'm sorry, you are the only one, more popular than his brother!"

Seeing that he was a bit annoyed and his words had a strong smell of jealousy, I couldn't help but smile, frowned, took a puff of cigarette, and said with a smile: "Indeed, we can't get to where we are today without the support of Mayor Shang. His departure this time surprised me, and I felt very unsure. I can’t tell what will happen in the future.”

"No way, there's a whole table of bole sitting over there. How could I miss a thousand-mile horse like you? Brother, please take good care of me in the future!"

Gao Jian is also a smart person. After only listening to a few words, he already knew that I had left a deep impression on several leaders. Apart from being jealous, he was also busy taking opportunities to build relationships. In his opinion, this It is a potential stock that will stand out sooner or later.

The meal lasted for nearly an hour before it gradually came to an end. Several members of the Standing Committee left the table and walked outside chatting and laughing. When they arrived at the door, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee Huang Jianzhang suddenly stopped and turned to look into the hall. He looked around, found me with his eyes, waved from a distance, and shouted: "Xiaoye, come here."

In the midst of everyone's attention, I quickly put down my cup, ran over quickly, and said with a smile: "Hello, Secretary General."

Huang Jianzhang smiled slightly, looked at me with warm eyes, and said softly: "Xiaoye, have you contacted Mr. Zheng recently?"

I shook my head with a smile and said frankly: "No, Mr. Zheng is very busy right now. He probably won't be able to come over until the base is completed. He has been in contact with Vice President Zhao of Hongtai Group recently."

Huang Jianzhang nodded and said with a smile: "Remember to keep in touch with her often. Things in the development zone were very unpleasant some time ago. Secretary Wei Guo specifically told her that he should explain to Mr. Zheng in person and express his apology when he has time."

I smiled and said with a relaxed expression: "Secretary-General, that matter has passed. Mr. Zheng rarely mentioned it."

"That's good."

Huang Jianzhang put away his smile and lowered his voice: "Your matter has been finalized. After the New Year, you will report directly to the Municipal Party Committee Office. Your level will be the same as now, deputy section level. You will mainly serve Secretary Jin."

I took a deep breath, nodded, and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you Secretary-General for your care."

"Do your best, we all think highly of you." After saying that, Huang Jianzhang patted me on the shoulder and left with a smile.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, the lights were on in a room on the fourth floor of the government guest house. Xu Youbing held a cigarette in his hand and smoked silently. After a long while, he turned his head, looked at Shang Tingsong, and said softly: "Tingsong , you helped me a lot in the past, I should express my gratitude."

"No, Mayor Youbing, you are too polite."

Shang Tingsong waved his hands with a smile, feeling a little proud in his heart. When Xu Youbing was first transferred to Qingyang, the work did not go very smoothly. The following deputy mayors did not pay much attention to the greetings. They left with the executive deputy mayor Yang Huaiping. More recently, although Yang Huaiping had no intention of silencing Xu Youbing, his voice in the government has been greatly improved. For a period of time, he was even able to form a rivalry with Xu Youbing in actual work.
