Then he smiled helplessly and said: "Comrade Xiao Zheng, if you were the county party committee secretary, I'm afraid I still have some hope. In this situation, I'm not sure how long I can be the mayor of the town, let alone the party committee secretary! Take advantage of this.
I'm still the mayor now, I have a higher bonus than you, and I can afford to drink Wuliangjiu, so let's have a drink."
Xiao Zheng picked up the glass and said: "Mayor Guan, let me toast you. Thank you for trusting me and telling me so much." Guan Wenwei clinked the glasses with Xiao Zheng: "Actually, I want to join you too.
Please say sorry. I didn't find you to be a good candidate before, and I didn't help you. Today I discovered that we probably have one thing in common, which is that we can't be cruel to the people. This is actually very troublesome at the grassroots level. My personality
It's already set in stone, and I'm afraid it can't be changed. Brother, I would like to advise you, when it's time to be ruthless to the people, you still have to be ruthless."
This is a word of helplessness.
Xiao Zheng heard that Guan Wenwei, who had drank two glasses of wine, began to call himself "brother." In the town, almost no leader called him that, and Xiao Zheng was slightly moved. He said: "Mayor Guan, I too
He is not the kind of person who tramples on the common people in pursuit of advancement. He has not been before and will never be in the future. Mayor Guan, what happened today is indeed a bit irritating, but we should just do it according to our own way of doing things. In my heart
I won’t feel guilty, and I won’t be unable to sleep at night.”
Mayor Guan raised his head, looked at Xiao Zheng for a while, and said, "Brother, from today on, the person I can talk to the most in this town is you."
Xiao Zheng picked up the slightly heavy bottle of Wuliang wine, poured a cup of wine for Guan Wenwei, and poured another cup for himself. He raised his glass and said, "Mayor Guan, let me toast you."
Mayor Guan said: "Comrade Xiao Zheng, let's do this from now on. In private, you can call me brother and I will call you brother. How about that?"
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "Okay. But brother, you have to promise me something." Guan Wenwei asked: "What?" Xiao Zheng said: "Don't leave Tianhuang Town without becoming the town party committee secretary. Tianhuang Town needs it
You are a leader who has feelings for the people."
Xiao Zheng thought that Song Guoming did not advocate closing down the quarry. After all, Song Guoming had relatives who were running the quarry. But if Tianhuang Town wants to change the current backward development model and change the ecological environment of poor mountains and rivers, it depends on Song Guoming's affirmation.
It won't work. In Xiao Zheng's opinion, Guan Wenwei has this intention. Since Guan Wenwei recognizes himself as his brother in private today, he has to let this eldest brother do something.
Guan Wenwei said helplessly: "But this matter is not up to me. If the county leaders finally decide to transfer me, I will have no choice but to obey the organization's arrangements."
Xiao Zheng said, "Brother, then you should take action before the leaders above make a decision. Since you can be sent from the county-level department to Tianhuang Town as the mayor, I don't believe that you don't have connections."
Mayor Guan blinked and said, "I have some connections."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he said happily: "Brother, don't leave your connections unused! This is a critical period, use every available connection! As long as eldest brother can stabilize the position of the mayor, then,
We will come up with another way for the development of Tianhuang Town. As long as we attract the attention and recognition from above, we will have hope of survival!"
Guan Wenwei thought for a while and said: "Okay, I'll give it a try. When the time comes, you must support me fully." Xiao Zheng said: "I will definitely support it."
With that said, the two drank another cup of wine.
When he put down his wine glass, Xiao Zheng inadvertently glanced at the lobby of the Anxian International Hotel across the street. By coincidence, he saw two familiar figures. One was Song Guoming, the secretary of the town party committee, and the other was the deputy county magistrate.
Chang Lu Qunchao. They were waiting at the entrance of the lobby, seemingly waiting for someone.
Xiao Zheng thought about whether he should tell Guan Wenwei, so he turned towards Guan Wenwei, not realizing that Guan Wenwei had already noticed it and was looking over there.
At this time, a car stopped in front of Anxian International Hotel. The license plate turned out to be "a00001". Audi Guan Wenwei said: "It should be County Magistrate Fang."
Sure enough, a short and fat leader in a white short-sleeved shirt and navy blue trousers got out of the car. This person was Fang Yetong, the mayor of An County.
County Magistrate Lu and Song Guoming stepped forward to shake hands with Fang Yetong enthusiastically, and then welcomed Fang Yetong into the hotel. It seems that the appearance of County Magistrate Fang today is obviously recognition of Song Guoming's handling of the mining accident in the morning. Could it be that
Are you celebrating his victory? Xiao Zheng couldn't help but look at Guan Wenwei.
Before, Xiao Zheng had been encouraging Guan Wenwei to use his connections to secure his position as mayor. But now seeing Song Guoming and Fang and Lu, the two county magistrates and deputy magistrates together, would Guan Wenwei be discouraged? However,
, Guan Wenwei's expression was calm. After seeing Fang Lusong and others entering the hotel, Guan Wenwei asked Xiao Zheng, "Are you full?" Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Have you eaten enough?"
Already."
Guan Wenwei said: "Then follow me to a place?" Xiao Zheng said: "Okay." Xiao Zheng was a little worried that Guan Wenwei's mood was ups and downs, so he wanted to stay with him again.
Guan Wenwei took out his mobile phone, called someone, and asked, "Where are you?" The other party probably answered, so Guan Wenwei said, "We'll be there in a minute." Then he walked out.
, Xiao Zheng also followed.
Xiao Feng saw the leader coming out in the lobby and immediately went to drive. Guan Wenwei said to the driver Xiao Feng: "Go to the county funeral home."
Xiao Zheng was stunned, how to get to the funeral parlor? Then he realized that the deputy mayor Jin Hui was arranged by Song Guoming to go to the funeral parlor to look after the family members of the deceased. In fact, he was monitoring these family members and preventing them from running around.
Unexpectedly, Mayor Guan was going to that place so late. Xiao Zheng felt strange in his heart and asked: "Mayor Guan, Mayor Jin and the town cadres are watching over there. There shouldn't be any problems." Guan Zhen
Chang Dao: "A young man died unexpectedly because of safety issues in the mine. As the mayor, I should also go and mourn him."
The funeral parlor is on the outskirts of the county town. As soon as the car drove in, it was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. Only two mourning halls had lights. In rural areas, people who died would stay at home for three days before being cremated. But in order to prevent this family from causing trouble,
The town didn't allow them to go back, so they were sent directly to the funeral home.
Xiao Zheng grew up in a rural area and had almost never been to a funeral parlor in the county. When he came in now, he felt a little creepy. But after all, he had a few taels of grain and wine in his stomach. He took a deep breath and felt brave.
When he arrived, he accompanied the mayor Guan Wenwei and walked in while calling the deputy mayor Jin Hui.
Jin Hui picked them up quickly, and Xiao Zheng said: "We are here." Jin Hui greeted them and took them over. Because the deceased was brought directly, the family members did not go home, and other relatives and friends either felt uncomfortable
Because of convenience, or because they were afraid that the town would not allow it, not many people came. In addition to the three family members of the deceased, there were also five town and village cadres accompanying him.
When these cadres saw the arrival of the mayor Guan Wenwei, they all stood up, but they all looked tired. Guan Wenwei stepped forward and bowed three times to the deceased. Xiao Zheng also bowed. Guan Wenwei said: "The deceased is the greatest
.This young man died due to an accident, but he still needs to be given a good send-off."
As he said that, Guan Wenwei took out two thousand yuan from his pocket and placed it on the tribute table in front of the deceased. Xiao Zheng did not have two thousand yuan, but only several hundred yuan and took it out. Other town cadres saw the mayor like this
, those who had not bowed before also bowed, and those who did not contribute any money gave a white portion. The atmosphere became more lively.
Guan Wenwei said to Jin Hui again: "Mayor Jin, please call Cai Shaohua, the party and government office. The town cadres and village cadres will arrange a shift and take turns to be on duty here until the matter is resolved. Each person will be paid fifty yuan a day for overtime work.
Fee. In addition, 10,000 yuan will be spent from the town government to hold funerals here."
After Mayor Guan gave the order, Jin Hui felt confident and said, "Okay, Mayor Guan, I will make arrangements right away." Jin Hui immediately called Cai Shaohua. Cai Shaohua initially said that Secretary Song did not give the order, so Jin Hui said, "You
You are the director of the Party and Government Office, won’t you do what Mayor Guan has ordered?” After all, Mayor Guan also has a say in the promotion of cadres. Cai Shaohua did not dare to offend Guan Wenwei too much, so he said: “I didn’t say that.
No, okay, I’ll go make arrangements right away.”
Cai Shaohua asked Li Haiyan to arrange the shift, and at the same time reported to Song Guoming on the phone. After Song Guoming heard this, he felt that Guan Wenwei did nothing wrong in this matter. He was busy eating with County Magistrate Fang at the dinner table.
It was not appropriate to talk about this matter to the superior, for fear of affecting the leader's mood, he said: "I understand the situation, just do what you should do."
When the family members of the deceased saw that the mayor came to bow in person, paid for his condolences, and allocated 10,000 yuan to pay for the funeral, and also asked town and village cadres to be on duty, the sadness and grievance in their hearts felt better. Common people are always easy to deal with.
, they didn’t curse the town anymore, they just cried there.
The deceased's father felt that there was no resurrection for the dead and refused to be disrespectful to those who came to express condolences. He stood up and offered a cigarette to Mayor Guan and Xiao Zheng. Guan Wenwei and Xiao Zheng both lit up and smoked.
.
Jin Hui walked to Guan Wenwei and said: "Mayor Guan, I and other cadres will stay here tonight. But this funeral parlor is strangely deserted. Can we cadres have a midnight snack and drink some soju?"
?" In rural customs, drinking is allowed and should be done during funerals, as it can flush away evil spirits. Guan Wenwei said: "Anything allowed by customs can be done, as long as you don't get drunk!"
Jin Hui said: "Don't worry about this, we will just warm up. Mayor Guan, there is nothing going on here. You and Commissioner Xiao can go back, we are here." Mayor Guan said: "If you need anything, please call us."
Guan Wenwei and Xiao Zheng left the funeral home by car again.
Xiao Zheng didn't sleep well that night, and the image of the deceased always appeared in his mind. He thought that this kind of tragedy could never happen again. Then the village must stop mining!
In the next two days, the town has been busy dealing with the problem of mining accidents. The county requires the town to set up a special accident response team to work with the village. Because the town had taken compulsory measures before, ordinary people did not dare to
After resisting, the deceased was finally compensated with 300,000 yuan, the disabled person was compensated with 100,000 yuan, and the injured person who could be treated and recovered was compensated with less than 30,000 yuan. The accident was settled in this way.
After the accident was handled, something unexpected happened.
The county sent an inspection department and the safety supervision department to investigate and hold the company accountable!
The first to bear the brunt was the deputy mayor Jin Hui. Unexpectedly, the targets of accountability also included Xiao Zheng, who was once a general cadre of the safety supervision station...
