The rain was pouring heavily, and the rain and fog locked the city.
A black car quickly drove out of the Qinwan Development Zone Administrative Committee compound, splashing water from its wheels. There were hurried pedestrians and only a few cars on the street. As the red taillights flashed, the car quickly drove onto the avenue and disappeared.
In the gloomy night rain.
"Has Xiaoyue been to the development zone before?" Hu Hongzheng, deputy director of the Organization Department of the district committee, asked casually as he leaned back on his chair.
The driver glanced at the young man named Yue Wen sitting in the passenger seat. He was the selected student who had just been reported. He was of medium height, with hard lines on his face, but bright eyes.
Yue Wen quickly turned his head and replied with a smile, "No, I have been studying at Qin University for four years and I have no chance to come here." When he smiled, the lines on his face automatically reorganized, and his eyes suddenly softened.
It made people look comfortable. After he finished speaking, he stared at Hu Hongzheng's face, trying hard to see something from his face.
Hu Hongzheng was very cheerful, with a rare smile on his serious face, "It's not just you, there are many old Qinwan people who have never been to Pingzhou in their lives. Pingzhou is our development zone." He paused, "Qinwan people
I always feel like we are in a rural area, are you not comfortable coming here from a bustling urban area?"
Yue Wen smiled and said, "My hometown is also in a rural area, and the development zone is also an urban area."
"Actually, we are going across the sea to the urban area of Qinwan, but there is no bridge and we have to go around for hundreds of miles." Hu Hongzheng looked at the hazy rain and fog outside the window and sighed, "We are separated from Qinwan recently.
A few kilometers, these few kilometers of sea, the east of the city is brightly lit, and the west of the city is dark." After saying that, he himself laughed, and Yue Wen's eyes were squeezed into a slit.
The young man sitting next to Hu Hongzheng joked, "I would rather have a bed in Qin Dong than an apartment in Qin Xi."
While talking, through the gap created by the wiper, Yue Wen noticed that a billboard with the words Furong Street had been erected on the roadside. Hu Hongzheng seemed to have also noticed, "Furong Street was changed from a town to a street two years ago. In recent years, the economy has
Not bad, the development momentum is very good..." Talking about work, the smile on Hu Hongzheng's face gradually disappeared.
The economy is okay, but not so good, maybe just average. Yue Wen turned around, and the lines on his face automatically formed a solemn look, but the abacus in his heart was making a "crackling" sound, and he was calculating from time to time in Hu Hongzheng's words.
How much "moisture" is there?
"What do you call the leaders of the street?" Yue Wen asked after taking a look.
Hu Hongzheng looked at the young man next to him, who quickly replied, "Secretary Jiang Sheng of the Furong Street Party Working Committee, Director Chen Jiangping of the office..."
Hu Hongzheng looked at Yue Wen's back. There wasn't much in the young man's profile that attracted him. Whether he would be selected to the Ministry or the Second Office in a year would depend on his luck. Well, he was not what the Ministry wanted anyway.
young man.
The speed of the car gradually slowed down, and it slowly drove into Furong Street. It was no different from an ordinary town, but the streets were lined with thick hibiscus trees with shady crowns and red velvet clouds.
Soon, the door with the sign of the Furong Street Party Working Committee and the office stood in front of him, but the scene in the yard made Yue Wen involuntarily turn his head and look at Hu Hongzheng, and the young man from the ministry who came with him was also a little angry.
Take out your cell phone...
Under the pouring rain, the streets and courtyards were full of people, some wearing raincoats and some holding umbrellas, some old and some young, some men and some women, colorful and colorful, but noisy.
The sound of rain, thunder, and noise, under the inky sky, makes people's hearts palpitate.
The parking space near the gate was filled with Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and other luxury cars. Outside the gate, there were many tractors and agricultural vehicles parked crookedly. Three of them blocked the gate tightly.
, three men in raincoats sat motionless in the car, letting the heavy rain wash over them.
It is in the urban area of Qinwan that so many luxury cars are gathered together. You can only see them at the auto show. Yue Wen secretly smacked his tongue. Damn it, Hu Hongzheng's words don't have much "moisture"!
At this time, Hu Hongzheng also saw the scene in front of him. He turned his head slightly to one side. After the young man next to him made the call, he immediately rolled down the window and shouted to the people on the tractor, "We are from the Organization Department, can we make it happen?"
Give up? Let us in." Although his voice was loud, he was very polite.
The three men sitting on the tractor turned a deaf ear. I don't know if they really didn't hear it or if they were deliberately ignoring it.
The young man from the Organization Department rolled up the window nonchalantly. Hu Hongzheng's face had already darkened. He looked at the young man with dissatisfaction. The young man responded quickly and immediately opened the door. Regardless of the heavy rain, he quickly ran to the tractor to negotiate.
.
The heavy rain quickly soaked his clothes and hair. When he came back, Yue Wen read the word failure on his face.
"Call Jiang Sheng," Hu Hongzheng looked very unhappy. He paused briefly and then changed his words, "The person you contacted just now was Liu Zhiguang, right?"
The young man wiped the rain off his face and quickly took out his cell phone. This time his tone was even more condescending. After a while, several people holding umbrellas ran over quickly.
The man in front was a middle-aged man with triangular eyes and curly hair. He had a serious face and quickly negotiated with a man sitting on a tractor. The man ignored him and got off the car and walked to the eaves of the communication room next to the gate.
, started smoking.
Liu Zhiguang was very embarrassed. "Push the car away." He gave the order sternly. He quickly walked to the car and explained with a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, Minister Hu. Look, you were fine just now."
Who would have known that they had blocked the door in a blink of an eye, and we immediately cleared it." Through the rolled-down car window, his eyes glanced at Yue Wen.
Hu Hongzheng's face became gentle again, "It's okay, it's okay. It seems like today is not the right time."
Although the words seemed to be a joke, Liu Zhiguang understood clearly. He smiled quickly and said, "The calendar says that today is a good day for traveling. Haha, we didn't do our job well and made the minister laugh."
The young man from the Organization Department got out of the car just now, but Yue Wen did not follow him. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile that was not easily noticed by others. Sure enough, several cadres from the street agencies also made no progress like the young man from the Organization Department.
Watching several government cadres and three men on the tractor pushing and shoving, one of them, a fair-skinned young government cadre in his thirties, said something unknown, and the man on the tractor jumped down and pointed at his nose.
The curse started, and although the rain was heavy, the sound was also very loud, and the curse was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
Although Liu Zhiguang was facing Hu Hongzheng, he had a panoramic view of everything and hurriedly said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Minister Hu, these villagers have no access to food and salt. They have been here all morning. Should we go directly to the hotel?" he asked.
Hu Hongzheng’s opinions.
Yue Wen withdrew his gaze from the window and raised his wrist to look at his watch. Because he came out of the District Committee Organization Department late, the time was close to eleven o'clock, but it was a bit early to go to dinner at this time.
Hu Hongzheng smiled and said, "Eating? It's still early!" He smiled on his face, but felt a little annoyed in his heart, "Secretary Liu, let's come back another day." Before Liu Zhiguang could answer, he ordered the driver, "Go back to the ministry."
Liu Zhiguang was a little anxious, "Minister Hu, it's almost lunch time, and Secretary Jiang will be there soon." Seeing that the people from the Organization Department had decided to leave, he immediately moved Jiang Sheng out.
Yue Wen raised his eyebrows. It was a bad start, but he must not go back. He is a minister, and Liu Zhiguang can't do anything to him. But I will still hang out in the town in the future, and today's cowardice will be spread all over my head in the future.
.
"Apologise to Secretary Jiang," Hu Hongzheng was embarrassed to say. Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Liu Zhiguang asked, "Minister Hu, when will you come back again?"
Hu Hongzheng smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Just as the driver was about to turn the steering wheel, Yue Wen said with a smile, "Minister Hu, please wait a moment, let me go down and try?" At this time, he no longer looked as "solemn" as when he just listened to Hu Hongzheng's "explanation", and he looked very relaxed.
A picture of.
Hu Hongzheng looked at him doubtfully, then at Liu Zhiguang. Seeing that they didn't answer, Yue Wen opened the car door and bent over and jumped into the rain.
The young man from the Organization Department looked at Hu Hongzheng and said with a smile, "Newborn calves are really not afraid of tigers!"
Hu Hongzheng smiled and said, "It's a good thing to dare to take action!" He looked out the window and followed closely the young figure in the rain.
Yue Wen first smiled and said hello to Liu Zhiguang. Liu Zhiguang looked at him dubiously, pointed at the tractor contemptuously, and said nothing.
Yue Wen ignored his attitude, bent down and ran to the tractor, said a few words with a smile, and patted the tractor's steering wheel hard, then took out two bills and waved them, patting them on the tractor, and on the tractor
The man picked it up hesitantly.
He shook the rain off his face, ran to the two tractors behind him, said a few words with a straight face, pointed to the front, and then trotted back to the car in a leisurely manner.
Hu Hongzheng's gaze has been following Yue Wen, watching all of Yue Wen's movements. Will this work? He laughed a little, and the young man in the organization department also laughed and said, "They are not three-year-old children..."
When Yue Wen returned to the car, he swallowed what he had not finished. Hu Hongzheng looked at the three tractors motionless, then looked at Yue Wen with dripping hair. He sighed inwardly, lowered his head, opened his briefcase, and took out his mobile phone.
"Let's go, let's go!" Suddenly, the driver shouted excitedly. Hu Hongzheng hurriedly raised his head. Through the rain curtain, he saw that the three tractors standing in front of the gate had all started up, and the leading tractor slowly turned.
After turning a corner, the two cars behind actually drove away in a "shudder", as if they were afraid of not catching up with the car in front, and the front door suddenly became spacious.
They didn't say a few words, it didn't take a few minutes, and there was no conflict at all. Surprised, Hu Hongzheng couldn't help but exclaimed, "Xiaoyue has a way!" He glanced at the young man in the organization department, who lowered his head in shame.
His face was uncertain. He wiped away the rainwater running down his head and bit his lips.
The car started and slowly drove through the gate.
Liu Zhiguang also saw the scene just now, but he didn't ask any more questions, but his face became lively. He quickly followed the car into the courtyard holding an umbrella.
Through the car window, luxury cars and all kinds of luxury cars came into Yue Wen's eyes again, and walking to the front of the crowd, several government cadres holding umbrellas were doing their work diligently; anger, all kinds of
Faces came to him again, why did they come to petition in such heavy rain? Yue Wen watched and walked, but he had no doubt in his heart that even though it was in the rain, the powder keg could explode at any time.
………………………
………………………
The conference room on the second floor was already filled with fruits. Hu Hongzheng sat down and a young man came over and poured tea for everyone.
Liu Zhiguang was very enthusiastic. He took out a paper towel and wiped the rain from his face, "Minister Hu, I'm so sorry. We made arrangements when we received the call yesterday. The leader couldn't see the good things, but the superior leaders saw the bad things."
He apologized for the third time, "Please wait a moment, Secretary Jiang will be here soon."
Hu Hongzheng smiled generously, but did not take the topic. He turned to Yue Wen and said, "Let me introduce, this is Secretary Liu of the street. This is the selected student assigned to our Furong Road street this year, Xiao Yue -
--Yue Wen is a good young man." He added another sentence and looked at Yue Wen meaningfully.
Yue Wen quickly stretched out his hands and shook Liu Zhiguang's hands respectfully, "Hello, Secretary Liu."
Liu Zhiguang was very enthusiastic, "Welcome, welcome. Not many people praise Minister Hu. Haha, the selected students are all reserve cadres. They look up to them wherever they go."
Yue Wen was pondering the meaning of his words. Hu Hongzheng took advantage of this opportunity and asked casually, "Are there a lot of people outside?"
Liu Zhiguang blinked and explained as if he had been wronged, "It was the villagers from Jiuding Jinjiling who came to make demands. It is not easy to do the work in the townships now." He sat down opposite Hu Hongzheng. "In the past, when town cadres went to the village, they all respected them.
You three points. Now when I go to the village, the dogs don’t bark. There are some conflicts in the village. They often go to the street to ask for a solution, and they go to the district to ask for a solution. The district also has assessments in this area, and pays attention to localized management. Whose family has the problem?
Whoever is responsible will take back whose children, but you are clearly right, but the people just don't listen." He laughed at himself, but did not say any more.
Hu Hongzheng took a sip of tea and listened with a smile. As soon as Liu Zhiguang finished speaking, he said very understandingly, "Township work is not easy to do. There are thousands of lines on the top and a needle on the bottom. In the end, all the tasks of superiors fall on the township."
"Level," he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked with interest, "Xiaoyue, what did you tell them just now that they drove away immediately?"
When he said this, Liu Zhiguang also fixed his eyes on Yue Wen, and the young man in the organization department also looked at him with his eyes.
Just as Yue Wen was about to answer, the thirty-year-old government official who had just been meeting with the villagers pushed open the door and stood aside respectfully. Then, a tall, dark-faced middle-aged man walked in.
