Chengguan Town, Yushen County, is a small town with less than 100,000 people. All streets are shaded under the dense canopy of trees. The street greening trees, mainly camphor, are still lush and green at this time. By March and April, the trees are green and tender.
When the buds emerge, the old leaves will begin to fall.
The office building in Chengguan Town is located on the boulevard beside the Yushen River. The gate faces the Yushen River. Across the street, there is a large vegetable patch by the river.
Chen Qingyun pushed open the heavy iron door, and an old man with a stooped figure walked out of the communication room. He asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Who are you looking for?"
"Nothing to do, just take a walk." Chen Qingyun looked at the silent office building and asked casually: "Old man, why is there no one in the office building before we get off work?"
A hard smile appeared on the old man's wrinkled face: "Young man, it's only the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Everyone is having a Spring Festival dinner. It's normal to get off work early."
Chen Qingyun looked at his watch. It was almost five o'clock. It was indeed impossible to expect anyone to stay in the office at this time. It was the habit of Yushen County that if there was no important matter, it would not be dealt with before the Lantern Festival. Maybe the Red River where he was was
Shanzhen is the real exception. At this time, all companies should have started working and the agencies are working normally. After all, there are many things to deal with.
Chen Qingyun did not expect that he would form an indissoluble bond with Chengguan Town in Yushen County. Kong Deji's arrangement was for him to serve as the mayor, but before he could take office, he was sent to the Provincial Party School by Mo Jiao to study.
Later, he had to serve as the secretary of Chengguan Town.
Walking on the tree-lined road by the river, Chen Qingyun recalled the conversation between Mo Jiao and him in the morning. Mo Jiao told Chen Qingyun that the current situation in S Province was relatively complicated. Hu Kui had not taken any action since he took office, but this person's style
Being overbearing, Province S may cause quite a storm. In this case, the wisest approach is to protect oneself wisely. The most basic requirement is to be good at uniting comrades. Chengguan Town is no better than Sequoia Town. All his work is in the county party committee.
Under the nose of the county government, all movements will fall into the eyes of interested people, and the actual power is not as good as that of Sequoia Town in the mountainous area.
When Chen Qingyun left Mo Jiao's office, Mo Jiao thought for a moment and sent him four words: Harmony with light.
How could Chen Qingyun, who studied liberal arts, not understand the meaning of these four words? This is a sentence from the "Tao Te Ching": "To blunt its sharpness, resolve its confusion, harmonize its light, and be the same as its dust, this is called mysterious unity."
Taking the meaning of hiding one's strength and biding one's time, this is a self-protection strategy in a complex environment. At this time, he truly felt Mo Jiao's care.
Chen Qingyun walked to the Fengyu Bridge and asked the waiter to make a pot of Tieguanyin. He sat by the window and quietly looked at the clear water under the bridge. His thoughts were not in the water. What was rolling in his mind was the old man from the small temple on Yuhua Mountain.
The monk said: "The water flowing down the mountain is unintentional, and the clouds returning to the cave are unintentional; if life is like clouds and water, iron trees will bloom all over the world in spring." Yes, it is the most difficult thing to be comfortable in life. If you are in such a complex environment,
If you can do it with ease, you can conquer the world.
With his thoughts clearing up, Chen Qingyun regained his composure. He called the waiter and ordered claypot rice with bacon. He didn't want to disturb Yu Chunhui, Jiang Qiushui and others, so he planned to deal with it on the Wind and Rain Bridge.
While Chen Qingyun was waiting, two pretty little girls stood opposite. The girl with a small black mole on the corner of her mouth said: "Handsome guy, can we sit here?" Chen Qingyun looked around more than a hundred meters long, twenty
The meter-wide wind and rain bridge seemed to be the only seat opposite him. He smiled and said: "Sit down, this is an empty seat."
After the two little girls sat down, they chatted non-stop. Chen Qingyun heard from their conversation that the girl with the mole at the corner of her mouth was called Chai Jing, and the girl with sweet looks and dimples appeared at the corner of her mouth when she smiled.
What is it called Xiaomei?
Chen Qingyun was ready to leave after eating so as not to affect their conversation, but what happened next stopped Chen Qingyun in his tracks.
"Chai Jing, I heard that you have changed your secretary, and that big pervert has finally left Chengguan Town." Xiaomei bit Chai Jing's ear and said, "I heard that the new secretary is very powerful, so don't get you hooked.
.”
Chai Jing turned around and smiled, and cursed: "I'm going to die. If you are interested, I will introduce him to you after he takes office." She sighed and said: "In the past few years when Lu Tao was in power, several sisters were attracted by him.
What a disaster. That person is so powerful, not to mention the deputy secretaries and deputy mayors, even Mayor Lou couldn’t speak in the town government, so he finally left."
Xiaomei said softly: "The last time I went to your unit to record a program, that Lu Tao actually grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go. It was so disgusting. He didn't offend you, did he?"
Chai Jing stared and said, "He dares, and he is not afraid of my father punishing him. But I heard that the new secretary is also very domineering. Many people in their Redwood Town have been squeezed out by him. The backstage must be very tough."
"This old guy, if I catch the opportunity, I will definitely teach him a lesson." Xiaomei said with a straight face: "I hate people who bully others and people who follow others' influence the most. Otherwise, I wouldn't hide in Yushen County.
Come."
Chai Jing said: "You won't be able to do anything if you hide like this."
Xiaomei sneered and said: "You think I'm afraid of him, it's just that I feel disgusting." Then she giggled and said: "Rain God, with you here, I can always go back to accompany my grandpa and grandma. How many years do I have?
A few months later, maybe I will fight back again."
Chai Jing also smiled and said: "You don't want to catch a rich husband in the Rain God, do you?"
Xiaomei chuckled and said: "There are a lot of young talents in Chengdu, do you want me to introduce one to you? Oh, Chai Jing, how much did you give out in the year-end bonus last year?"
Chai Jing said depressedly: "You can keep it for yourself, because we are afraid of people from big cities. We are a differential funding unit, and wages and capitation fees are allocated by the county finance, but all taxes are also handed over to the county finance, and the town government
The only living money is non-tax income and profits handed over by enterprises. Among the more than ten enterprises in Chengguan Town last year, only Dongbei Tower made a profit, which was not enough for the old thief Lu Tao to squander, so there was no bonus."
"I heard that the old man in Sequoia Town is very good at economics, and your life will definitely be easier in the future." Xiaomei sighed: "I just hope he won't be as perverted as old thief Lu, who makes you want to see an old sow
Take a bite.”
Chen Qingyun heard that this innocent and lively little girl always said that she was an old man, and couldn't help laughing: "Little sister, who is the old man you are talking about?"
"Chen Qingyun, who is about to go to Chengguan Town to be the secretary." Xiaomei just finished her words and immediately reacted: "Who did you call little sister? We were whispering and we didn't ask you to listen. How shameless."
Chen Qingyun smiled and said: "I am just complaining about Chen Qingyun in your mouth. You said that he was so unbearable and turned into an old man. Do you think Chen Qingyun is unjust? Do you know Chen Qingyun?"
Xiaomei said: "Can someone who has become a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and Secretary of the Chengguan Town Party Committee not be an old man? I heard that the economic development of Sequoia Town is good. We in Taiwan wanted to interview him many times, but Director Jiang from the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee insisted
I disagree. None of these leaders are domineering. Do you think that Chen Qingyun can be better?"
"Several leaders in the county are less than forty, how come they are old men when they become leaders?" Chen Qingyun defended with great interest: "Besides, is Chen Qingyun as domineering as you said?"
"Please, brother, are you still not old when you are almost forty?" Xiaomei rolled her eyes and said, "I have heard from several bureau leaders that Chen Qingyun from Sequoia Town is both arrogant and inhumane. How could he be
A good person?"
Chai Jing watched the two people arguing but said nothing. She knew that Chen Qingyun from Sequoia Town was not only not old, but also an unmarried young man. But that man had a bad reputation in the officialdom of Yushen County, and even her own father did not want to see him.
.
When Chai Jing and Xiaomei's claypot rice was delivered, Chen Qingyun said with a smile: "Don't speak ill of Chen Qingyun. This meal is my treat, okay." After saying that, he called the waiter over and concluded.
He stood up and left behind the tent.
He was not angry, he just felt that anything could happen in the officialdom, and it was really a good place to train people. He couldn't help but think of the old monk's words: It's easy to practice in the officialdom.
Wei Bin did not follow Chen Qingyun. The task assigned to him by Chen Qingyun was to rent an independent private house in the name of Wei Bin, at least a large suite. Chen Qingyun has very high requirements for food and accommodation. It is estimated that the Chengguan Town Government cannot
It is up to him to provide him with better accommodation conditions, but in the name of Wei Bin.
At this time, at the home of Lou Wenjun, the mayor of Chengguan Town, six or seven people were drinking happily, but Lou Wenjun looked a little depressed and buried himself in drinking.
"Old Lou, don't think so much. No matter how crazy Chen Qingyun is, he can't be more domineering than Old Thief Lu. Just be happy." Zhang Baohua, the deputy secretary of Chengguan Town with a Chinese character, said in a rough voice: "He will have some background again.
He's just a young man, and together we can't fight him. I heard that Secretary Kong originally wanted him to be the mayor of the town, but who knew he would become the secretary of the party committee in the blink of an eye? It's so unpredictable."
Deputy Town Mayor Li Limin said: "Secretary Baohua, don't underestimate this Chen Qingyun. During his two years in Sequoia Town, he forced Zhang Gong and Jiang Hong away and sidelined Wang Jianjun and Zhang Xingguo. His methods are very powerful."
Mark, director of the Enterprise Office, said: "The development of Sequoia Town still depends on Chen Qingyun. Besides, the promotion of Li Jie, He Cheng, and Li Chunping were also recommended by Chen Qingyun. Maybe they will be good leaders. The income of cadres in Sequoia Town is
It is the highest in the county, but the management is too strict and a bit scary."
"Typically, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will forget." Zhang Baohua said angrily: "Mark, you can hug his thigh, but what about the rest of us?"
Lou Wenjun interrupted Zhang Baohua and said: "Baohua, you drank too much. Please say less. We will remain unchanged in response to the changes. Let's take a look first and then talk. Tomorrow the county committee will hold a standing committee to announce Chen Qingyun's appointment. The appointment will be announced the day after tomorrow.
I have officially taken office. You should keep an eye on me at the agency these two days and make arrangements for the agency cadre meeting the day after tomorrow so that nothing goes wrong."
At the home of deputy county magistrate Meng Lin, several guests were also invited to have a spring dinner.
"County Magistrate Meng, seeing that little bastard Chen Qingyun is about to climb on your head, God is really blind." Zhang Xingguo, whose face was gray and defeated, cast a resentful look in his eyes: "I have been harmed by him.
, I hope to see that he will not end well." Zhang Xingguo was dismissed from the post of Secretary of the Party Committee of Sequoia Town. Unexpectedly, Wang Ke stabbed him in the back again, saying that he demanded a bribe of 200,000 yuan. Zhang Xingguo refused to admit the debt and went to the procuratorate.
, I didn’t expect Wang Ke to have a backup plan. Later, Kong Deji and Lin Hua suppressed him and refunded Wang Ke’s 200,000 yuan, which was regarded as a voluntary refund. The procuratorate did not initiate a public prosecution, but all Zhang Xingguo’s positions were wiped out +
Guang, dawdling in the logistics department of the county government.
Zhang Gong said mysteriously: "Brother Xingguo, don't look at Chen Qingyun's current glory, someone will take care of him soon, and he won't be able to stay around for a few days."
Zhang Xingguo sat up straight as if he had been injected with chicken blood, stared at his eyes as big as bull eggs and asked: "Brother Zhang Gong, please explain clearly, what is going on?"
Zhang Gong leaned into Zhang Xingguo's ear and said: "We are from this family. We can't write two characters in one stroke. Can you help me? There are big shots who want to rectify Chen Qingyun's materials. If you have any clues, please provide them quickly."
Now is a good opportunity.”
Zhang Xingguo immediately said: "I know his affairs best. The construction project of Sequoia Town is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. How can he not benefit from it? There are a few simple things that illustrate the problem best: Chen Qingyun came to Sequoia Town
For several years in the town, he has never had any expenses reimbursed by the finance office; his special car is a luxury off-road vehicle named Land Cruiser, and there is a full-time driver, who is said to have been bribed by investors; he has several very special
Beautiful girlfriends, dressed very fashionably, cost a lot of money; I occasionally heard the beautiful girls who came to Redwood Town talking about Chen Qingyun’s luxurious villa in Chengdu, and how much he worked in it.
Can you afford it for a long time without taking bribes?"
Jiang Hong patted Zhang Xingguo on the shoulder and said, "Secretary Zhang still has a way. Let's put it all together and make sure the situation is clear so that Chen Qingyun's backstage staff can worry." He deliberately revealed Zhang Xingguo's previous position just to anger Zhang Xingguo.
