Not long after, the municipal party committee held a meeting, which was attended by the city's main leaders and heads of various subordinate departments. The new deputy secretary presided over the meeting, and then Secretary Rong gave the speech.
She spoke for nearly three hours. The main contents included the future prospects of Shangjiang City and the current main tasks. At this meeting, she put forward the slogan of "five plus two, white plus black". In addition, she also
He put forward specific requirements for the heads of subordinate departments and warned everyone, "Don't reach out, otherwise you will be caught."
Subsequently, the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection made a report on further strengthening the construction of a clean government and introduced some specific measures. Among those specific measures were the two suggestions I mentioned to Secretary Rong that day.
In fact, I know that although such meetings have a certain effect, the people below have actually become numb.
In recent years, many meetings like this have been held from the central to the local level, but with little effect. Perhaps some people will restrain their behavior for a period of time after such meetings, even the opinions I put forward are
It may not necessarily have a great effect. After all, the power of temptation is too great, and human selfish desires are too difficult to defeat.
However, this can at least make some people feel fear at all times, and at least prevent some people from making such mistakes.
What’s more, people nowadays are becoming more and more secretive in the way they accept bribes, and their methods of paying bribes are becoming more and more sophisticated. It is difficult for ordinary cadres and the masses to obtain key evidence. Therefore, no matter how good the method is, it only serves a purpose.
It's just a deterrent.
In any case, as a municipal party committee, these things should be done, and it is a way of doing something. Even if something happens to a cadre in the future, it will be an act of kindness. Neither the superiors nor the people will at least say that the municipal party committee is not doing its job well.
Under the current system, there is no solution.
This meeting lasted until nearly one o'clock at noon. During the meeting, some people answered the phone and whispered, but they were all criticized by Secretary Rong.
This is actually a drill for the next work style. I think Secretary Rong deliberately held today's meeting so late. She specifically mentioned a sentence in her previous speech: "I hope our cadres can be ready to take action."
Come, come and be able to fight, and fight and win."
Her words illustrate the problem very well.
As secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, her naming and criticism is very effective. It is not because of her as a person, but because of the power in her hands. I don't think she is making a fuss out of a molehill, but because of her determination. She is eager to change cadres
A determination of style.
There was no lunch arranged for the meeting. Now Secretary Rong and I are paying great attention to this issue. In fact, these people don’t spend much money for a meal, but it involves a matter of culture. Many things are like this, the municipal party committee and the government
Style can affect the atmosphere of the departments below. I am the mayor and I am always paying attention to the city's financial situation. I clearly feel that the reception expenditure in Shangjiang City has been much less recently.
However, I do not agree with the issue of reception. Secretary Rong and I have also exchanged opinions on this point. She agrees with my opinion. She said: "After all, we are in a human society, and people cannot change the courtesy.
Traditional culture. What we control is free use of public funds to eat and drink, not normal reception."
As far as I know, many places now limit the standard of monthly reception expenses for leaders, or give each leader a standard for expenditure, just like when I was at the Provincial Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. But I did not do this.
, because I think there is no need to be serious about this matter. In fact, since we implemented two-line management of revenue and expenditure, everyone has paid great attention to the fact that macro management sometimes affects the details. This shows that the construction of the system
It has revolutionary significance.
When I was leaving the venue, I happened to bump into Qian, the director of the Organization Department of the municipal committee. He came over and patted me on the shoulder, "Mayor Feng, are you free tonight? Let's have a meal together?"
This was the first time he invited me to dinner. We are all colleagues on the same level, so I couldn't refuse directly. I smiled and asked him: "Minister Lei, are you happy today?"
He answered me: "Nothing happy, I just want to chat with you. As a great mayor, you won't deny me this face, right?"
I felt disgusted in my heart. Such words were not what a person of his level should say, because they were too direct and reckless. However, I still couldn't refuse directly, so I smiled and said: "Minister Lei, can you
You can't say that. I do have something else to do tonight, or should I treat you to another day?"
He waved his hand and said, "If other things are not important, just put them off. I have already told Secretary Qian that tonight it will be just a few leaders of our organization department and you two. There is nothing else. You
I am both a leader from the province, so we have to communicate together frequently."
I couldn't say much at this time, so I nodded and said, "That's okay."
In fact, I know in my heart that today's dinner must be consumed with public funds. Secretary Rong just held such a meeting today. If we go to eat and drink with public funds tonight, wouldn't it mean that others may talk about it, even if Secretary Rong knows about it?
I will be very unhappy. But I can't say that directly to Minister Lei. This is my personality.
But I have to find a way to push it away without making him dissatisfied with me.
I don’t quite understand what this person thinks. He is the head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and logically speaking, he shouldn’t be like this. I think the only possibility is that he has a carefree personality, or he feels that some things are still too much.
I can't restrain him as the head of the organization. Of course, maybe I don't know the reason at all.
But at the same time, I thought of a question: Shouldn’t Secretary Qian agree to him? Although I don’t have much contact with Secretary Qian, according to my observations of him, he should be a very cautious person. Thinking of this, I
He immediately called Secretary Qian, "Old Qian, I heard that Minister Lei is going to treat you to dinner tonight?"
He immediately said: "I was talking about calling you to ask you. He just told me about this matter and told me that you were going to participate. I asked him what he wanted and he refused to tell me, so he just said that everyone
Let’s chat together.”
Only then did I realize that I had been fooled, but I still couldn't tell Secretary Qian about such a thing. I said, "Old Qian, Secretary Rong just held such a meeting today. I don't think it's good for us to do that. What do you think?
?”
He said: "Yes. I think so too. But Mayor Feng, you should know Lao Lei's temper. He likes to drink. It's hard for you and me to refuse directly."
I immediately asked him: "Then what do you think we should do? You and I are both Secretary Rong's deputies. We must take into account Secretary Rong's prestige and our own influence, right?"
He said: "Just do whatever you say, I will listen to you."
I was stunned immediately. I didn’t expect that this guy was also an old fox. After thinking about it, I said: “Well, old Qian, I have something to say to him. It’s really hard for me to refuse him. After all, we are colleagues.
, and they are all people from the province."
He said: "Yes. Then tell me, how should I tell him?"
I said: "Either I treat him. If he insists on treating him, we'd better go to a farmhouse, especially for wine. We can only drink Laobaigan. In this case, it doesn't matter."
He immediately said: "Let me invite you. It's a private treat. If he doesn't agree, I'll tell you the following conditions."
I said: "That's okay."
In fact, I know that even for him, spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a meal is nothing. That’s why I agreed so simply.
After a while, Secretary Qian called me, "Mayor Feng, I told him, and it turned out that he was the one who arranged the farmhouse. He also said that I underestimated his level. This guy treats me every time
He's so rude, I really want to give him a beating, but I can't. Haha!"
I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Now I realized that I had underestimated this person. Maybe I always felt in my heart that there was something wrong with his quality.
In fact, this happens to us many times. When we have a disagreement with a person, we always think about the other person in the worst direction. Human psychology is so strange.
In the evening, there were two tables at the farmhouse, and one table was for the driver.
It was obvious that the farmhouse had prepared in advance, because I found that the dishes on the table were quite rich, but they were mainly based on fresh vegetables, and most of the meat dishes were cured meats and game.
There was a barrel of white wine placed next to the dining table. It was bulk wine, weighing at least ten kilograms. I couldn't help but be horrified, "Minister Lei, are you planning to get us all drunk today?"
He smiled and said to me: "Mayor Feng, this is real grain wine that my old father-in-law brought to me. It tastes very mellow and comfortable."
I smiled and said, "I can't tell the quality of wine. Anyway, I know that the final result after drinking this thing is intoxication."
At this time, Secretary Qian said: "I can't drink much."
I smiled and said, "Well, I'll drink as much as Secretary Qian drinks."
Secretary Qian immediately shouted, "Mayor Feng, aren't you making things difficult for me? Those who can do more work."
Minister Lei smiled and said: "Secretary Qian, we still follow the old rules. You can use rice instead of wine later. If we drink one more cup, you can eat an extra bowl of rice."
Secretary Qian said with a mournful face: "It's over, I'll have to gain a few more kilograms of meat tomorrow."
Everyone laughs.
So everyone started to eat food and drink, and Minister Lei started to raise a toast, "Come, let us, the team of the Organization Department, pay tribute to Mayor Feng and Secretary Qian, and thank the two leaders for their support of the work of our Municipal Party Committee Organization Department."
I smiled and said, "I should be the one thanking you. Because you have selected so many outstanding cadres for the departments under our municipal government, it will be much easier for me as the mayor."
Of course, this is just a polite word, so you still have to drink the wine in the glass. (To be continued)
