Zhang Liwei sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, his eyes fixed on Shen Tong, with a smile still on his face. After listening to Cai Jiaquan's speech, he pointed to the sofa and said: "Come on, Shen Tong, sit here."
Cai Jiaquan's 180-degree turn was hard for Shen Tong to accept. He gently pulled out his hand with a half-smile, then walked to Zhang Liwei and sat down. Cai Jiaquan was startled by Shen Tong's move, and then laughed again. Return to your seat.
After sitting down, Zhang Liwei put away his smile, his expression suddenly became serious, and said to Shen Tong: "Shen Tong, don't be nervous. I was asked by Secretary Wu to ask for your opinion today. It is informal. I will go back to the county committee. Do you want to do some work?"
Although Shen Tong already knew the result, he was still shocked when he heard it from Zhang Liwei's mouth. He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Liwei, then glanced at Cai Jiaquan who nodded slightly, thinking quickly.
If the officialdom of Dongquan County is compared to a circle, then the county party committee secretary Wu Jiangkai is the center of the circle and the core point of power. The closer you are to the center of the circle, the more you can enjoy the blessings of rain and dew and be promoted and reused; on the contrary, stay away from politics Being in the center means not being taken seriously. Focusing on the core is the way to be an official, and it is also the key to being an official. The county committee office is closest to the core, and the promotion will be faster. Being able to enter the county committee office means that it is possible in the future. As they step into leadership positions, some people sharpen their heads and think of ways to get into it to increase the chances of their career.
Seeing that Shen Tong didn't speak, Zhang Liwei's expression changed a little. He moved his buttocks and said, "What? You don't want to?"
Shen Tong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, Director Zhang, it is an honor for me to be able to join the county party committee office, and it is also an affirmation of my work, but I don't know if I am qualified for this job..."
Zhang Liwei and Cai Jiaquan looked at each other and laughed. Then they said: "Shen Tong, human potential is unlimited. As long as you are willing to learn and study, there is nothing you can't do. To be honest with you, this time You have contributed greatly to the investment promotion work, especially your report, which not only helped Dongquan get out of the shadow of the previous period, but also received full recognition from provincial and municipal leaders. Secretary Wu is very satisfied with this point."
Zhang Liwei did not mention the negotiation between Shen Tong and Guo Weijian, but ignored the reported matter. He knew full well that the success of the negotiation was attributed to the leadership, not you, Shen Tong.
Zhang Liwei didn't care whether Shen Tongtong agreed or not, he patted his leg and said: "Okay, you will hand over the work in the next two days. The Organization Department will talk to you specifically, and you will report to the county party committee office next week." After saying that, he stood up and faced each other again. Cai Jiaquan said: "Brother Jiaquan, I am busy with worldly affairs, so I will stay here soon. I will be the host someday, and my two brothers will have a nice drink."
Because Zhang Liwei is a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and belongs to the county leadership. The moment Zhang Liwei stood up, Cai Jiaquan also stood up quickly, pretending to be sad, and said: "Director Zhang, this is not possible. It is not easy for you to come here. I usually invite everyone." If I don't invite you, if I just leave like this, how will people outside see me and think that I have too little face to keep you?"
Zhang Liwei chuckled, punched Cai Jiaquan on the shoulder, and said jokingly: "Don't do this to me, who doesn't know that your Cai family is full of ghosts? Okay, something is really wrong, otherwise I wouldn't have to be in such a hurry." , Let’s have another day, let’s have another day.” After saying that, he clasped his fists to leave.
Seeing that Zhang Liwei was indeed busy, Cai Jiaquan stopped trying to keep him. He took out a Chinese cigarette from his desk drawer, threw it to Shen Tong, and said, "Shen Tong, put the cigarette in Director Zhang's car." Then he said to Zhang Liwei. : "Since you have something to do, I won't keep you, and I don't have anything to give you, so I'll just honor you with the good cigarettes I save."
Zhang Liwei stretched out his index finger, pointed at Cai Jiaquan with a smile, and said, "You are so polite to me, you are so outspoken."
"I know you are good at this, so I have already prepared it for you."
"Okay, then I'll accept it. I really have to leave, so please stay." After saying that, he walked out the door.
After getting in the car, Zhang Liwei rolled down the window and said to Shen Tong: "You cannot be where you are today without Secretary Cai's cultivation and strong recommendation. You should thank Secretary Cai properly." About the relationship between Cai Jiaquan and Shen Tong Zhang Liwei was more or less aware of the rift. In order to let the two of them settle their differences, Zhang Liwei made a special statement before leaving.
The car slowly drove out of the gate, and Cai Jiaquan watched Zhang Liwei leave with a smile on his face. After walking away, he looked back at Shen Tong. Although he felt a little unnatural, he still forced a smile and said: "Shen Tong, go, go to me. office."
Back in the office, Cai Jiaquan picked up the phone on his desk and called Zhou Detian: "Come to my office." Then he threw a cigarette to Shen Tong and said with a smile: "Shen Tong, actually I was early. I think you are a talent, otherwise I would have to bear such a big project of renovating dilapidated old buildings in Qiaobei Village on you. You have worked so hard. You have to perform well when you get to the county party committee office. It can be seen that Secretary Wu attaches great importance to you. Maybe You will become his secretary, you have a great future."
At this time, Shen Tong had matured a lot. After lighting the cigarette handed to him by Cai Jiaquan, he said: "Secretary Cai, I know your intentions. I hope I can grow up quickly. Thank you very much for your cultivation of me. No matter where you go in the future, I will never forget your teachings and support in that position."
Cai Jiaquan narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "Whatever you think, I'm relieved."
At this time, Zhou Detian pushed the door open and came in. Cai Jiaquan flicked his cigarette ashes and said: "You arrange a table for lunch at noon, and I will personally see Shen Tong off. In addition, I will buy a gift for Shen Tong based on the standard of 500 yuan, and choose something practical."
Zhou Detian was a little surprised by Cai Jiaquan's arrangement. He remembered that when Liu Siming was transferred, he did not serve wine and only gave a silk quilt worth about 200 yuan, but he treated Shen Tong so grandly, which was a kind of atonement for Shen Tong. Whether it is a political investment or not is unknown.
At noon, all the leaders in the town attended Shen Tong's practice banquet and drank three boxes of liquor until the last bottle was bottomed out. At noon that day, Shen Tong was drunk and completely drunk.
The next day, someone from the Organization Department came down to talk to Shen Tong. They went to the hotel again at noon and continued drinking. In the next few days, Shen Tong kept inviting invitations. Even cadres who rarely had contact with Shen Tong asked Shen Tong. The invitation was extended, and the hospitality was hard to refuse. Almost all of them had three meals a day at the wine shop.
During this period, he told his parents, Lan Yue, Zhao Yitang, Liu Siming and his sister in Zhaobei City about the transfer to the county party committee office. Everyone was happy for him. The most excited one was Lan Yue. Shen Tong was transferred back to the county seat, and the two of them We can meet every day. Thinking of this, Lan Yue actually had insomnia for several nights.
