When it comes to going to the countryside, almost everyone in the small convoy is rushing to get there, because there are so many trips to the countryside. At least you can have a good meal with good wine and food, and a few packs of good cigarettes. In recent years, The economy of Dongquan County has accelerated rapidly, especially in several coal-producing towns. Compared with previous years, it is comparable to Europe and Africa. The drivers are also smart. If you go to Weiyuan Town and Fuchuan Township, you can jump three feet high. They volunteered and scrambled for the first place. If they wanted to go to Dongguan Town and Shihe Town, they would have a slumped face and dull eyes, and they would be indifferent for a long time.
Regarding this situation, Liu Qitai, the captain of the small team, had nothing to do. You must know that those who can enter the county committee office to drive have certain connections and backgrounds. They are all living ancestors and cannot afford to offend. Later, Liu Qitai simply implemented the "rotation system" ”, thus balancing the tense relationship between drivers.
For example, today Shen Tong goes to Shihe Town. If Liu Qitai is not here and Shen Tong calls others, no one will be willing. The lack of fuel and water is on the one hand, and the most important thing is that Shihe Town is too far and the road conditions are not good. It took more than 2 hours and I felt like I was falling apart after going back and forth twice.
Liu Qitai didn't have any complaints. It wasn't that he didn't like to go out and "get" more, but he saw some qualities in Shen Tong that were different from others.
Arriving at Shihe Town, Shen Tong ignored the cold outside the car and rolled down the window to look carefully at the place where he had fought. Every inch of land and every house was so familiar. After half a year, he returned to Shihe Town again, and his heart felt But it is full of emotion and sadness.
When the car arrived at the Shihe Town Government, it was still the same as before, without any change, but because it was winter, there were only bare branches left in the yard.
When Shen Tong got out of the car, the first person he saw was Yuan Caiyun. She was also the first person Shen Tong saw when he reported to Shihe Town on his first day.
Yuan Caiyun was still at the Party and Government Office. She had just finished cleaning the office and filled the stove with coal. When she was about to make tea, she saw a black Santana car driving in through the window, so she put down the teacup in her hand and walked out the door. Go.
Unexpectedly, the person who got off the car turned out to be Shen Tong who was walking out of here. Yuan Caiyun hurriedly walked forward and shouted with a loud voice: "Shen Tong, you are back!"
Yuan Caiyun's voice alerted the neighbors. Soon Zhang Yisheng from the Agricultural Economics Station, Zhao Zhikang from the Enterprise Office, Feng Qikun from the Family Planning Office, and even Wang Liguo from the Finance Department all came out and surrounded Shen Tong like they were hosting county leaders. , he kept asking questions here and there.
"Shen Tong, I missed you so much during your absence. Why did you come back before?" Zhang Yisheng from the Agricultural Economics Station still looked simple. He was in the same group because he went out to attract investment, and he was in the same group. After entering the shelter, the relationship between the two became very close.
"What are you talking about? Shen Tong has joined the county party committee office and is now a popular figure next to Secretary Wu. What do you want Shen Tong to do when you come back? Should he continue to be a cadre of Bao Village or stay in the office doing odd jobs? His future is bright. Who is like you, staying in Shihe Town all his life?" Zhao Zhikang, the enterprise manager, scolded Zhang Yisheng, who could not speak.
"Okay, okay, Shen Tong finally came back. Why are you making noises? Let's go to the office." Yuan Caiyun rolled his eyes, ignored the others, picked up Shen Tong and walked to the office.
Shen Tong felt cordial when he saw his former colleagues. Although these people had made things difficult for him in the past, and even stabbed him in the back and stepped on him when he was down, but now, Shen Tong feels everyone's enthusiasm and enthusiasm. Nuan Nuan, who had long forgotten the unpleasantness of the past, smiled and answered all the questions raised by everyone.
After a while, Cai Jiaquan, secretary of the party committee, rushed over. When he entered the door, he held Shen Tong's hand and shook it vigorously. His plump cheeks burst into laughter and said: "Shen Tong, welcome home to guide the work. Let's go, come to me." Office." Then he said to Yuan Caiyun: "Get Director Zhou back quickly." After saying that, he picked up Shen Tong and walked to the backyard.
When they arrived at Cai Jiaquan's office, a boy about his own age was busy making tea. Shen Tong couldn't help but stare at him a few more times. Cai Jiaquan said: "Li Jiapeng, the one who passed the exam with you was someone I transferred from other towns. They are all outstanding talents like you." When he said this, Cai Jiaquan's face was filled with satisfaction, as if Shen Tong's success today was cultivated by him.
When Li Jiapeng heard his name being mentioned, he quickly stood still and looked shyly at Shen Tong, who was the same age as him, as if he thought he was a county leader.
Shen Tong couldn't help feeling that if he were still in Shihe Town, his role might be the same as Li Jiapeng's, that is, serving tea and water. But now, not only can he sit on an equal footing with his Cai Jiaquan, but he can even directly order him to do this or that. This is Power, an irresistible and obsessive power.
After a while, Zhou Detian, director of the Party and Government Office, ran in sweating profusely. He gave Shen Tong a bear hug as soon as he entered the door, then patted Shen Tong on the back and said, "It's better not to call in advance if you want to come." I'll pick you up, after all you were once my soldier!"
Cai Jiaquan looked at Zhou Detiantian's shameless approach with disgust, and interrupted: "What do you call your soldiers? Shen Tong was sent out by Shihe Town. He is the pride of our Shihe Town and also our blessing!"
Shen Tong was carried away by the sweet words, and said with a smile: "Secretary Cai, Director Zhou, I cannot achieve what I have today without the cultivation of the Shihe Town Party Committee and Government, and the guidance of your two leaders. No matter what I do in the future, No matter where I am, I will never forget this unforgettable experience in Shihe Town!"
Cai Jiaquan held his head and remembered that he had sent Shen Tong to Qiaobei Village. He still regretted it. But Shen Tong could say this, which was enough to give him face. He said to Zhou Detian: "You will arrange a meal later. Then go to the trunk of my car and take out the bottle of Wuliangye, and give Captain Liu and Shen Tong a piece of Zhonghua!"
"No problem, I'll do it right away." Zhou Detian was very enthusiastic and quickly implemented what Cai Jiaquan told him.
Regarding Cai Jiaquan's arrangement, Shen Tong said a few polite words and half-heartedly agreed to this approach. Whether to take it or not, to eat or not to eat, is entirely a matter of face. If Shen Tong refuses today, Cai Jiaquan may not be able to do it in his life. Don't worry, a meal, a bottle of wine, a pack of cigarettes, or even a sentence in official circles all seem so sensitive and delicate.
Although Shen Tong was in a daze, he did not forget the purpose of coming to Shihe Town today, so he said bluntly: "Secretary Cai, the Lion Head Mountain Aluminum Energy Project is a project that Secretary Wu personally took charge of, and after learning that the Municipal People's Congress inspected it, Shihe Town was designated as the first stop for inspection. It is said that Director Zhang suggested that it is a long way from here, but Secretary Wu disagreed. This shows how much Secretary Wu attaches great importance to it."
