On a hot summer day, behind the office building of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee, the air conditioner in the small auditorium was turned on, blowing cool breeze, but it still felt a bit stuffy. There were hundreds of people crowded in the auditorium, except for the cadres who were out.
Most of the local cadres above the stock level attended this meeting, and Zhou Jing was no exception. He sat on the left side of the back row, flipping through the meeting minutes in his hand, and absentmindedly listening to the leader's speech on the stage, because Qin Xiaoqian did not come over.
He also felt a little lethargic.
Next to him sat Zou Fangheng, the chief of the first secretary section. Since Liang Baocheng's death, this Secretary Zou has become more and more burdened, and he has a vague intention of coming from behind. After the official career prospects are promising, Secretary Zou's behavior has become more cautious, and he usually acts more cautiously.
He doesn't have much contact with others. When he's not summoned by the secretary, he shuts himself up in the office and doesn't know what he's doing.
The relationship between him and Zhou Jing is still good. Although the two of them cannot see each other twice a week, they can have fun chats every time they get together. Zou Fangheng does not despise Zhou Jing because he is young. In his opinion,
, this young man has a maturity that belies his age, and has established a good personal relationship with the leaders of the provincial party committee. Naturally, his political prospects are very promising, and he is worth interacting with.
At this meeting, a series of personnel adjustments were announced, including two deputy mayors and several important candidates for bureau leaders. I wonder if Zhou Jing's recommendation had an effect, or if Niu Li's remaining work was in place.
This time, his efforts were not in vain. He was finally transferred from the agricultural machinery factory to the city and became the deputy mayor in charge of science and technology. It was a big step forward. He got his wish and truly embarked on the road to officialdom. He became the leader of this personnel adjustment.
One of the winners.
As for the agricultural machinery factory, it was naturally handed over to the deputy director Yang Hengsheng. In addition to him, the other deputy mayor was not a local cadre from Qingyang, but a cadre parachuted from the Propaganda Department of the Jiangdu Municipal Party Committee.
His name is Cao Zhongping. This man is not tall, has a dark complexion, but has a strong aura. He barely sits at the bottom of the rostrum, but he steals the spotlight. He holds materials from time to time and frowns in thought. He has the air of a big leader.
He used to be in charge of publicity and was familiar with reporters, so the cameras were always aimed at that side.
Zhou Jing was not very familiar with the other newly appointed leaders. Zou Fangheng stretched out his fingers and introduced them in a low voice, talking about the advantages and disadvantages of these people. Their positions were in the corner, far away from the front, and they were not very familiar.
It is not within the camera lens, so apart from not being allowed to smoke, it is very free. Zou Fangheng has been in the commission for a long time and is very familiar with the cadres below. He can also vividly describe some secret knowledge that is not clear to others.
, eloquently said.
The meeting had been going on for forty minutes, but it was still not over. Both of them could not sit still. After exchanging glances, they quietly slipped out and stood in the corridor outside smoking. Zou Fangheng looked out the window, frowned and took a breath.
Yan turned to look at Zhou Jing and whispered: "Secretary Zhou, how did I hear that Secretary Man Ting will be transferred to the Jiangdu Municipal Government Office as the deputy secretary-general?"
Zhou Jing looked surprised and said in surprise: "Really? I'm not sure."
Zou Fangheng glanced at him and said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother, you are quite strict with your mouth. You can only get in and out of anything. You are the secretary of Secretary Manting. You don't know who else would do this kind of thing."
clear?"
Zhou Jing shook his head with a smile and said softly: "I'm really not sure. I haven't been in contact with Secretary Manting for a while. He is studying at the party school and has never come back. I am probably the one with the least information in our committee.
People."
Zou Fangheng snorted, with a complicated expression on his face. He dusted off the cigarette ashes and said mysteriously: "Last weekend, I accompanied Secretary Li once and met Secretary Man Ting. The two of them also met and chatted.
"
Zhou Jing felt a little unbelievable and said in surprise: "Have they met and talked?"
Zou Fangheng nodded with a smile, looked left and right, and whispered: "Secretary Man Ting went to the Provincial Party School to study this time. It was a blessing in disguise. Guess who he met at the Party School?"
"How did I know!" Zhou Jing shook his head and asked with a smile: "Brother, just tell the truth, don't beat around the bush!"
Zou Fangheng smiled slightly and lowered his voice: "It is said that he is the son of Director Liu of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. With the help of Mr. Liu, the matter on the case basically ends here. He also left Qingyang and went to Jiangdu to develop. Although it was just
The deputy secretary-general is a division-level cadre. If he is released when the opportunity arises in the future, he will most likely be the secretary of the county party committee. This means that when the west is not bright, the east is bright!"
Zhou Jing was a little surprised after hearing this, and continued: "Then when Secretary Li and Secretary Man Ting met, did they smile away their grudges?"
Zou Fangheng frowned and took a puff of cigarette, extinguished half of the cigarette, threw it at his feet, and laughed softly: "I don't know exactly what he was talking about. I was guarding outside at the time. In the middle of it, I gave him a pack of cigarettes.
, However, the two of them looked very happy at the time and seemed to have a good conversation."
After a pause, he added: "Of course, there must be a grudge. There is nothing we can do about it. There was too much trouble a while ago!"
Zhou Jing smiled, did not answer, finished his cigarette, walked into the meeting place side by side with him, took a nap, and returned to the office alone after the meeting. After sitting there for less than ten minutes, the phone on the table rang.
He looked at the number and saw that it was from the Organization Department. He was a little surprised. He answered the phone and said hello. The hearty laughter of Zhou Lifeng, the organization director, came from the other side: "Xiao Zhou, it's me!"
Zhou Jing did not dare to neglect and said hurriedly: "Hello, Minister Zhou."
Zhou Lifeng smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, if it's convenient, come to my office. I have good news to tell you."
"Good news?" Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment. Some monks Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, but he still smiled and said respectfully: "Okay, Secretary Zhou, please wait a moment, I will be there right away."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and hurried to the back building, to the second floor of the Organization Department, and knocked on Director Zhou's office. Zhou Lifeng was very enthusiastic when he saw him. He personally made tea for him and brought him a few more photos.
Put the form on the coffee table and said with a smile: "I just received it. The Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China wants to select a group of young cadres to go abroad for training. Our province has been allocated three places. The competition is very fierce. I got a call from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.
, let me report your name, we only reported you here, how about it, this is a good thing!"
Zhou Jing looked calm, smiled slightly, picked up the form, glanced at it a few times, and then he came to his senses. He knew that the little beauty was secretly operating and taking charge of his own affairs. He couldn't help but sigh and whispered: "Mr. Zhou, the caller
Is it Li Siyan from the Second Cadre Division?"
Zhou Lifeng shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it was a call from the director of management. According to him, the superiors have a very good impression of you, especially the article on the reform of state-owned enterprises. It was well written and will be read by provincial leaders."
I think you are a promising candidate, and I plan to make you a key training target. This opportunity to go abroad is particularly rare, so you must seize it!"
Because Zhou Jing was not mentally prepared, he felt very unexpected and was a little dazed. After a while, he looked confused and said hesitantly: "Mr. Zhou, I have never thought about going abroad before. I was surprised when I got this news. I can't make a decision now.
I want to think about it again."
"What are you thinking about such a good thing?" Zhou Lifeng was a little anxious. He knocked on the table and patiently started his work. He said earnestly and sincerely: "Xiao Zhou, don't be confused. To tell you the truth, your current situation
If your academic qualifications cannot keep up, your future development will definitely be greatly affected. This overseas training is an excellent opportunity. Don’t miss it, otherwise, it will be too late to regret!”
Zhou Jing smiled, nodded and said: "Okay, Minister Zhou, I will take these forms back and fill them out first, and then send them to you after they are completed."
"Okay, but hurry up, the boss is still in a hurry to get it!" Zhou Lifeng seemed very happy, encouraged him a few more words, shook hands with Zhou Jing cordially, and sent him outside, leaning against the door.
, watching Zhou Jing's back disappear at the end of the corridor, he sighed, looked up at the sky, and said with envy: "I'm going to Harvard. In two years, this kid is so lucky!"
When he returned to the office, Zhou Jing looked at the forms, but he was at a loss as to whether to go or stay. He still couldn't make up his mind. After a long while, he picked up his cell phone, dialed the number, and called the little beauty Li Siyan. After the call was connected, he whispered
: "Siyan, what are you doing?"
"Eating walnuts!" There was a crisp sound of "click" in her ears. Li Siyan held the vise in her hand, crushed the walnut shell, took out the kernel, put it in her mouth, and chewed it carefully.
On the document, a mountain of broken walnut shells had been piled up.
Zhou Jing sighed, picked up the form in his hand, and said softly: "Siyan, Director Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department just talked to me about training abroad."
Li Siyan smiled sweetly and said softly: "That's a good thing. Why, you can't bear to leave?"
Zhou Dingding nodded and said with complicated emotions: "I haven't thought about it yet."
Li Siyan pursed her pink lips and said bitterly: "You, please stop trying to get into trouble. At your age, it is impossible to reach a higher level in two or three years. What is needed at this time is not to work at the grassroots level, but to work at the grassroots level.
Go out to recharge, see the outside world, broaden your horizons, increase your knowledge, learn from each other's strengths, and lay a good foundation for future development. This is the right way!"
Zhou Jing smiled, took out a cigarette, put it into his mouth, lit it, frowned, took two puffs, blew out smoke rings and said: "Siyan, will you go with me for this overseas training?"
Li Siyan sighed, fiddled with her slender white fingers, and said softly: "This quota was originally mine, but I just considered that your academic qualifications are lower and you need this opportunity more."
Zhou Jing felt a little sorry, but he was also extremely moved, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, Siyan!"
Li Siyan pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Thank you, no need to, just don't blame me in private!"
Zhou Jing was slightly startled and said in confusion: "Why do you blame me?"
Li Siyan curled her lips and said sourly: "If we go out for training, won't we not be able to see your sister Jiani?"
Zhou Jing smiled and blurted out: "Same, I can't see you anymore!"
After hearing this, Li Siyan's nose felt sore and she almost shed tears. After a long while, she sighed and said quietly: "That's nothing. I just hope you don't mess around when you go out and make jokes."
Zhou Jing smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No, if you go out, you should seize the time and learn something, so you won't waste your time."
Li Siyan hummed and said expectantly: "That'll be great. When you come back after your studies, dad will assign Da Liu and assign you to be his personal secretary. At that time, we can be together every day.
,OK?"
After hearing this, Zhou Jing couldn't bear to refuse. After thinking for a long time, he smiled and said: "Okay, I will follow your arrangement!"
