Chapter 1 Planning for the County Magistrate
In early July, Ganping County, located in the Guangnan region, suffered from continuous heavy rains and frequent flash floods, and it has entered the flood season ahead of schedule.
Early in the morning on July 10th, a Coaster minibus from the county committee was suddenly hit by a mudslide on its way to Shuiming Township, the worst-hit area. Unable to escape, the vehicle and the people involved in the disaster fell into the rolling Qu'an River.
Eight people, including the county party committee secretary, county discipline inspection committee secretary, county political and legal committee secretary, propaganda director and full-time deputy county magistrate, were all killed.
Good guy, four members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee were sacrificed at once, not counting the deputy county magistrate of the Extraordinary Committee. This incident not only shocked the entire Donghe Province, but even the top brass in Beijing and Central paid attention to it. Three important instructions were issued in succession to
The Donghe Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government strictly ordered that while providing disaster relief, the personal safety of leading cadres, especially front-line leading cadres, must be ensured.
It is not easy for the country to train a cadre. The loss of five powerful officials at the division level and deputy division level is not only a loss for Dong Ha Province, but also a loss for the country.
Everything has its disadvantages and advantages. The four standing committee seats that suddenly became vacant gave many officials who had further ideas to start thinking about it. For a time, there were so many people running for office in Guangnan City that it was impossible for the county to carry out the project.
Things happen from time to time when you are working normally but your supervisor is not on duty.
For this reason, the deputy secretary of the county party committee and county magistrate Geng Yunfeng, who is temporarily in charge of the county's work, ordered that anyone who delays his work due to running for office will be severely dealt with. The boss has spoken, and the subordinates dare not not listen, and finally put this evil trend on the surface.
Stopped.
A week later, a collective memorial service was held in Hall No. 1 of the county funeral home for eight comrades who died in the line of duty. Mayor Shen Zheng of Guangnan City attended on behalf of the municipal party committee and city government, and County Magistrate Geng Yunfeng delivered a eulogy.
Of course, eulogies are all good words, and what is said to the living people is also meant to be seen by the living people. People are gone and the tea is cold, let alone the people are gone?
The memorial service lasted for more than two hours before it was over. On the way to the parking lot, Li Yuanlang, deputy director of the county veteran cadres bureau, was slightly frightened from behind. When he turned around, he saw that it was his old classmate, deputy director of the county government office.
Director Ji Tianhou.
They were best friends in the bunk bed when they were in college. They have always had a good relationship. Even in the past ten years since they started working, they have always been in contact. They are really good buddies who talk about everything.
Ji Tianhou glanced at Li Yuanlang, and Li Yuanlang understood. He walked to the parking lot and got into his second-hand Jetta King. He didn't start it, but casually took a Yuxi cigarette.
As soon as he lit it up, he saw the passenger door being pulled open. Ji Tianhou sat in and unceremoniously grabbed the Yuxi cigarette and took it for himself. He took a few deep breaths and said, "Suffocate me to death."
"Yes, if it had been open for another half an hour, I would have smoked my fingers like a cigarette."
Li Yuanlang chuckled, took another one and said: "I see that Lao Geng is always watching the venue. Not to mention being addicted to cigarettes, he has to hold in his urine even if he has to urinate. If he goes to the toilet at this time, he will not give Lao Geng face. It is inevitable to wear small shoes.
That’s it.”
Immediately, Li Yuanlang turned to look at Ji Tianhou, and said: "Old Geng used to be approachable and had no airs. Now that he has shown his official authority, County Magistrate Geng will become Secretary Geng. It is probably a sure shot."
There was an inquiry tone in Li Yuanlang's statement. How could Ji Tianhou not hear it? He had been working in the government for many years and was naturally better informed than Li Yuanlang. He nodded slightly and affirmed: "It's settled, but what I told you today is
It’s not who will succeed the county party secretary, but who will be the county magistrate?”
"Candidate for county magistrate?" Li Yuanlang was confused for a while. Although he and Ji Tianhou were both deputy section level officials, in the eyes of ordinary people they were officials, but in the eyes of officials, they were ordinary people. The two deputy section level officials were worried about the appointment of division level officials.
Isn’t it just nonsense to care about carrots and worry lightly?
"Let's drive, let's find a place to talk in detail." Ji Tianhou threw the half of the cigarette butt out of the car window and gave the order with a wave of his hand.
It was still the farmyard where his brothers often went. There were few people and it was quiet, so it was easy to talk. With a pot of shochu, four side dishes and a pot, and each of them drank a four-cent cup, Ji Tianhou got to the point.
He got the news from special channels that in order to stabilize the city, the county magistrate would be promoted on the spot. There are currently two candidates, one is deputy secretary Lin Mu, and the other is standing committee member deputy county magistrate Qian Yunwen.
However, these two people had nothing to do with Ji Tianhou and Li Yuanlang, but Ji Tianhou proposed a name, which made Li Yuanlang's eyes light up.
Jin wins!
Jin Sheng is thirty-seven years old this year, five years older than Li Yuanlang and Ji Tianhou. The most important thing is that he also graduated from the Chinese Department of Donghe University and is an authentic senior brother. He is currently the deputy county magistrate of Ganping County, and his ranking is quite low.
Responsible for culture, education and health.
The Veteran Cadres Bureau where Li Yuanlang worked was under the jurisdiction of the Organization Department of the County Party Committee, and he did not have much contact with Jin Sheng. However, Ji Tianhou worked in the government office, and they met often because of their work relationship. They were also alumni, so they were closer.
However, just based on this, what does it have to do with him, a little sesame official? Li Yuanlang suddenly couldn't understand what kind of brain-building medicine Ji Tianhou was selling in his gourd.
After taking a sip, Ji Tianhou drank a drink, wiped his mouth, and then changed the topic and asked: "Yuen Long, you and Han Yin have been divorced for more than half a year, right? You don't plan to find another one?"
Speaking of Han Yin, Li Yuanlang felt a dull pain in his chest. Han Yin was the star of the county TV station. At that time, Li Yuanlang was still the secretary of the county party committee. He was enjoying a prosperous career. Han Yin rejected many suitors and married him resolutely.
In the first two years of his marriage, Li Yuanlang also made rapid progress. He reached the deputy section level in two years, and officially entered the cadre rank. In the third year, he concurrently served as deputy director of the county party committee office. He will soon be promoted to the full section level, and will be sent to the township to be the leader.
Unexpectedly, the old secretary of the county party committee who admired him very much suddenly suffered from cerebral congestion and collapsed at his workplace. The tea got cold when people left, not to mention that everyone was gone, so Li Yuanlang's bowl of tea completely turned into iced black tea.
The matter of external dispatch was not mentioned, and he could not even stay in the county party committee office, so he was directly assigned to the Veteran Cadres Bureau as the last deputy director.
The veteran cadre bureau itself is a clear water yamen, and he, the deputy director, is even more distilled water in the clear water. He has duties but no power. He drinks tea and reads newspapers at work, and comes home on time to cook and do housework. In the eyes of outsiders, he is honest and responsible and is a model.
Husband. But in Han Yin's eyes, he was a good-for-nothing. She gave all her youth to Li Yuanlang, but in exchange she got a loser with a bleak career.
They always quarreled when they had nothing to do. They had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. Their scoldings against Li Yuen Long became more and more unpleasant, and they forced him to divorce.
Anyway, they don't have any children. After getting married, they are financially independent and their property can be easily divided. It only took less than ten minutes to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate, which completely ended their five-year marriage.
Now, when Ji Tianhou talked about Han Yin, Li Yuanlang felt like something was stuck in his throat. He lost all interest in drinking and put down the wine glass he picked up.
Seeing that Li Yuanlang's face was not good-looking, Ji Tianhou immediately apologized and said: "I really shouldn't have bothered Yuen Long by not opening and lifting certain pots. Come on, let's continue drinking."
Li Yuanlang did not raise his glass, but said: "Tianhou, we have known each other for more than ten years. If you have anything to say, don't talk in circles, just say it directly."
Chapter completed!
