Xiao Zheng said: "That's good. We will meet here at eight o'clock in the evening, and several other people will come with us. I will tell you what to do then."
Zhao Yougen drank the soju in his hand, then filled Xiao Zheng's cup, filled his own cup, picked it up, and clinked glasses with Xiao Zheng: "See you there at eight o'clock in the evening." With that, he filled up his own cup again.
After drinking all the wine, Xiao Zheng also drank it all in one gulp: "See you there or not!"
In the afternoon, Xiao Zheng returned to town. As soon as he walked into the government hall, he happened to run into Cai Shaohua, director of the Party and Government Office. Cai Shaohua looked at Xiao Zheng and said with a smile: "Hey, is Commissioner Xiao having a drink at noon? You will enjoy it."
There is no alcohol prohibition yet, so having a drink at noon is not a big deal.
Xiao Zheng smiled at him and went upstairs without saying anything. When he returned to the office, he closed the office door, called Jian Xiushui, talked to her, and asked her to be there at eight o'clock in the evening.
We met at a small, remote restaurant.
After making the call, Xiao Zheng thought of another person, Tao Fang from the Party and Government Office. Should he call her? But Xiao Zheng always felt that something was wrong, so he hesitated and ultimately did not call Tao Fang.
.
However, Tao Fang called: "Commissioner Xiao, are you in the office?" Xiao Zheng felt that Tao Fang's question was a little unusual, so he said, "I am in the office, what's the matter?" Tao Fang said: "I
Come up here." Xiao Zheng felt even more strange. After a while, Tao Fang came up. She gently closed the door and said to Xiao Zheng: "Commissioner Xiao, I just heard that there will be a team meeting today.
, maybe some leaders will target you." "Aimed at me?" Xiao Zheng asked, "Is it Secretary Song?" Tao Fang nodded and said, "Yes. This morning, Secretary Song went to various offices and left.
After a while, I found that you were not here and got angry at the door of your office. Many team members saw it. Commissioner Xiao, you must be mentally prepared."
Xiao Zheng nodded and said: "Okay, thank you." Tao Fang didn't wait long: "Then I'll go down first."
Not long after Tao Fang left, a text message was sent in the name of the Party and Government Office. This text message asked the team members to gather in the conference room within fifteen minutes. Those who received the text message were asked to reply in time. Xiao Zheng was angry, so he
He didn't reply to the text message. After a while, Cai Shaohua, director of the Party and Government Office, called: "Commissioner Xiao, have you received the text message?" Xiao Zheng said: "I received it, I was just about to reply." Cai Shaohua said in a weird manner: "You received it.
That’s fine. Commissioner Xiao is the protagonist of today’s meeting, and I can’t do it without you.”
Fifteen minutes later, some team members had already begun to smoke in the conference room. Xiao Zheng sat where he should be sitting. After the mayor Guan came in, Song Guoming, secretary of the town party committee, also came soon.
Party and Government Office Tao Fang put his cup on the table.
Party and Government Office Cai Shaohua and Tao Fang also attended today's meeting.
After Song Guoming sat down, he glanced at everyone in the venue and asked Cai Shaohua: "Is everyone here?" Cai Shaohua said: "Everyone is here." More than a dozen team members, at a meeting held at short notice, unexpectedly
They were all here, which was rare. Xiao Zheng felt that Song Guoming should have been fully prepared for this meeting.
Song Guoming said: "Let's get straight to the point. This meeting is held today to strictly enforce work discipline. In our town, from top to bottom, there is more or less laxity and haphazardness. If the cadres of the government agencies do not do well, the top and bottom will follow.
It’s because our team members didn’t take the lead properly. For example, when you arrive at work and don’t drink at noon, everyone should ask themselves, how are they doing?”
Arrive at your post? Have a drink at noon? Xiao Zheng instantly realized that Song Guoming was shooting at him. Xiao Zheng remembered what Tao Fang said in his office, so that he could be mentally prepared.
Xiao Zheng glanced at the seat next to him. Tao Fang was engrossed in recording in the notebook. Xiao Zheng thought to himself, this Tao Fang seems to be quite good at pretending, but she came to inform him, which shows that she is really serious.
Xiao Zheng deliberately moved closer to him. Xiao Zheng withdrew his gaze and pretended that he had not heard what Song Guoming said.
However, Song Guoming continued to dwell on this topic. He said: "This morning, I visited the offices of each team member. Most of our comrades are good, either working in the office, or have asked me in advance
Fake. However, there are also some comrades who are not in the office for no reason. Is this a lack of discipline?!"
Everyone in the team knew that Song Guoming was making excuses and wanted to fix someone. People who have been in the office today raised their heads, with faint smiles on their faces, acting like it had nothing to do with them, just waiting to see the show.
.Xiao Zheng also pretended that it was none of his business.
But Song Guoming stared at Xiao Zheng and said: "Comrade Xiao Zheng, I saw you were not in the office this morning. You didn't ask me for leave, but tell me where you were? Also, were you there at noon?
Drinking? Drinking at noon, what kind of lead does this bring to the town cadres?! We are a team, you have to know that when I point out your problems, I care about you."
Without waiting for Xiao Zheng to explain, Guan Wenwei said: "Secretary of the Song Dynasty, Commissioner Xiao greeted me when he was out on business." It was obvious that Guan Wenwei was trying to find a way out for Xiao Zheng.
In fact, when Xiao Zheng went to find Zhao Yougen this morning, no one said anything.
Song Guoming did not stop pursuing the case because Guan Wenwei came forward. He asked: "Guan Wenwei, Comrade Xiao Zheng is the deputy mayor, but is he a member of the party committee? If he is a member of the party committee, what does he do?
Should you report to me, the party committee secretary? If you can’t even do this, are you still a competent party committee member? Why don’t you resign on your own initiative?!”
Song Guoming was asking Guan Wenwei, but he was undoubtedly blaming Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng was indeed a member of the party committee. According to the work rules, he should report to Song Guoming. Now Song Guoming does not know Xiao Zheng's movements.
It was Song Guoming's right to criticize. Guan Wenwei had no words to refute for a while.
Xiao Zheng said calmly: "Secretary Song, I'm sorry. I went out for a while this morning, and I did not report to Secretary Song. But there is a reason for that. Please listen to Secretary Song.
I explain."
Everyone looked at Xiao Zheng. Song Guoming was still staring at Xiao Zheng, waiting to hear his excuses and planning to further suppress him.
I only heard Xiao Zheng say: "Today, I went out because I received a call from the county committee office, asking me to go to the county committee secretary and secretary, and also asked me to keep it secret. I
I told the people in the county party committee office that I might have to report to Secretary Song. But the other party said that I must not report to Secretary Song. This was a secret summons. So, I had to obey the request of the county party committee office.
, hurried away. Everyone knows, what did Secretary Xiao ask me to do?"
Xiao Zheng's question immediately aroused everyone's curiosity. Being summoned by the county party secretary is extremely rare for a township deputy. Except for the two main leaders here, no deputy has been summoned by the county party secretary.
. Ji Zhao has seen it before, so it’s difficult to make them not be curious.
Even the organizing committee member Zhang Qing couldn't help but ask: "What does Secretary Xiao want from you?" This is actually a question for many other people, and those people's eyes are also shining. Song Guoming said to others
The team member looked interested and dissatisfied, but he wanted to know what Xiao Zheng could say, so he said: "Comrade Xiao Zheng, if you want to explain, explain it quickly."
Xiao Zheng felt that he had some control over the initiative, so he said: "Secretary Xiao, please ask me to find out about the situation of each member of our team. I don't know why Secretary Xiao came to me specifically. She knows everyone.
performance, as well as integrity and self-discipline.”
The other team members looked at each other, and they were doubtful about everything Xiao Zheng said. However, they didn't dare not believe it, and they didn't know how Xiao Zheng would evaluate them in front of Secretary Xiao.
.
No matter what, Xiao Jingyu is the county party committee secretary after all, and it is only a matter of one sentence to adjust the position of any one of them.
Song Guoming kept staring at Xiao Zheng, paying attention to his every expression and every movement, trying to figure out whether what Xiao Zheng said was true or false, and was he trying to show his strength?
But Xiao Zheng had been mentally prepared in advance and refused to let Song Guoming see the reason. Song Guoming was a little upset and said: "Comrade Xiao Zheng, are you worried that I will criticize you and deliberately use Secretary Xiao as a shield?"
?" Xiao Zheng said calmly: "No one can I use as a shield, but I dare not use Secretary Xiao as a shield. Don't I even want my black hat? Secretary Song, if you don't believe it, you can call the county.
The commission understands the situation.”
Xiao Zheng could conclude that Song Guoming would not make this call.
Sure enough, Song Guoming said: "No need. Then what's the explanation for drinking at noon?" Xiao Zheng said slightly strangely: "Drinking at noon? This is not my problem alone. Do we have a ban on alcohol now? Even if there is a ban on alcohol
Secretary Xiao invited me to dinner, and the leaders of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection were there, so of course I drank."
Xiao Zhengyou intentionally or unintentionally revealed that a "leader of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection" was here. Although this seemed to be a leak, it was keenly captured by everyone present. The leader of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection is here? He also knows the situation in Tianhuang Town.
?Is it to handle a case?
Everyone unconsciously began to look at themselves, which things they could not take and which aspects they had violated disciplines in the past two years? This review inevitably made them a little anxious.
Xiao Zheng blamed Song Guoming's questions on "Xiao Shuji". He thought, you have the ability to ask Xiao Shuji yourself.
Song Guoming's relationship with Xiao Jingyu was very ordinary, and it was impossible for him to verify this issue. Therefore, the meeting specially planned by Song Guoming in the afternoon ended up being nothing, and did not achieve the expected suppression effect. Song Guoming felt very unhappy.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Xiao Zheng met Zhao Yougen and Jian Xiushui in a remote restaurant. In addition, Jian Xiushui also brought Fei Nuanli. Fei Nuanli said: "Commissioner Xiao, is there any place where I can be used?
Just say it, I want to help."
Xiao Zheng said: "This matter may be a little dangerous." Fei Nuanli said: "It is more dangerous if I don't do anything. Commissioner Xiao, please allow me to do something."
Xiao Zheng looked at Fei Nuanli for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, everyone, listen up. We must be mentally prepared. No one can help us in this matter. We have to rely on ourselves with Song Guoming, Wang Guilong and others.
