In the large conference room, not all people have arrived yet. There are quite a few cadres from the county committee and county government who are qualified to attend this meeting. The deputy county magistrate, deputy secretary, secretary-general and deputy secretary-general are thirty or forty people in total. The cadres
With a shy belly, notebook under arm, and a shiny stainless steel boss cup, I calmly came to the conference room and sat down. They sat down in groups, spread out their notebooks, unscrewed the pen caps, opened the tea cup lids, and waited.
The waiter came to refill the hot water...
com..
During this process, Zhou Wen was sitting at the door. Every cadre who came in greeted him politely, but the cold politeness that rejected people thousands of miles away made Zhou Wen feel cold to the bone.
Seeing that people had almost arrived, the office director invited the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary Xu of the County Party Committee who were in the lounge next door, and the meeting officially began.
The deputy director of the Organization Department spoke at a very high level. He first called Zhou Wen to sit next to him, and then began to speak. After affirming the recent work achievements of the Nantai County Party Committee and County Government, he announced the resolution of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, appointing Comrade Zhou Wen as
The Magistrate of Nantai County then introduced Zhou Wen's resume and work achievements. The audience was silent. After Minister Fang finished speaking, the cadres applauded.
After Deputy Minister Fang finished speaking, Secretary Xu of the County Party Committee delivered a speech. First, on behalf of the County Party Committee, he welcomed Comrade Zhou Wen to join the economic construction work of Nantai County, and then asked everyone to unite closely around the team of the County Party Committee and County Government, work hard, and take it seriously.
Really high-level implementation, striving for a new level of economic construction, and taking off the hat of a national-level poverty-stricken county as soon as possible...
After Secretary Xu finished speaking, it was the new county magistrate's turn to express his position. Zhou Wen took the microphone and put it in front of him and said: "The organization promoted me to Nantai County to take charge of the work. I thank the organization for its trust, but at the same time I feel a lot of pressure and a heavy task.
As we all know, Nantai County's economic development is slow, its industrial foundation is weak, and its agriculture is also underdeveloped. It has been a national-level poverty-stricken county for more than ten years. The income levels of farmers and urban residents are low. As the new leadership team of Nantai County
Members, I think everyone should work together, work under the leadership of Secretary Xu, put investment promotion first, and contribute to the economic development of Nantai County."
With these few words, Zhou Wen's statement was over, and he turned the microphone over to Secretary Xu. The cadres below did not expect that Zhou Wen, known as a penman, could speak so concisely, and they were stunned for a moment before they started to applaud.
However, most people did not take his speech seriously. The slogan of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich has been shouted for more than ten years. It is just a cliché and has nothing new. It seems that this young cadre who is favored by the provincial party committee has nothing to do with it.
Secretary Xu made a concluding speech and spoke a lot more eloquently before announcing the adjournment of the meeting.
After seeing off Deputy Minister Fang and Liu Ziguang, Zhou Wen came to his new office. This is the most spacious office in the White House Building of the County Government. County Magistrate Tang used to take care of everything here. The office is luxuriously decorated, with tables and chairs.
It is made of mahogany, and the entire wall is covered with bookshelves. They are filled with all kinds of brand-new classics, which show the owner's erudition. On a prominent position on the wall, there is a picture hanging, which is said to be the handwriting of a famous artist. County Magistrate Tang was
After the arrest, his personal property was confiscated and sealed, but this painting remained in the office.
Several workers were moving furniture out. Naturally, the new county magistrate couldn't use the furniture used by the old magistrate. Moreover, Magistrate Tang had committed a crime and stepped down, which was unlucky.
Zhou Wen looked at the almost new mahogany desk and leather sofa and asked, "What should I do with these furniture?"
"Move it to the storage room and put it away first," the office director explained.
Wen nodded and walked around the empty room twice with his hands behind his back. This large office is fifty square meters, divided into an inner closet and an outer office. There is a bedroom inside. There is a bathroom in the bedroom, lamps, carpets, furniture and sanitary ware.
They are all top-grade products.
"County Magistrate Zhou, this is the furniture catalog. You can refer to it first. If you are not satisfied, you can also order it." The office director handed over the color printed furniture product catalog and asked the county magistrate to point it out. Zhou Wen said without even looking at it.
: "No, just bring over the tables and chairs in my county magistrate's assistant's room and use them."
"Those office furniture are too simple..." Director Huang of the office rubbed his hands. This middle-aged man in his forties has been working in the office for fifteen years. He is smooth and sophisticated in everything he does. How could he not understand what Zhou Wen meant?
The new county magistrate is going out of his way to show his integrity, but if he does this, the furniture factory run by his friend will have no business.
"You get used to it, you get used to it." Zhou Wen smiled faintly, and the county magistrate kept his words. Director Huang stopped talking and directed the workers to move in Zhou Wen's original tables and chairs.
At noon, in the county government canteen, the clerks queued up noisily, holding stainless steel plates in their hands, passing by the window one by one, and asking the master chef to put two pieces of meat, a spoonful of vegetables, and a ton of rice into their plates.
Or two steamed buns, vegetables, tofu and egg soup are served in stainless steel thermal insulation buckets, with the spoons placed in the buckets, and each person can scoop a spoon.
Although the Nantai County Government built a grand building, and the cafeteria was decorated like a luxury hotel, the food was really unflattering. On the one hand, it was because of the county's financial constraints, but more importantly, the contractor of the cafeteria was Director Huang of the office.
Brother-in-law, if you rely on your brother-in-law, you will have to rely on the mountains and rivers, and you will have to deal with these small clerks. Anyway, cadres above the department level never eat in the canteen, so they can't offend anyone.
A familiar figure walked in, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, a kind smile, and a gentle face. He took a stainless steel dinner plate from the table and walked into the queue. Those queuing up to eat were all people at the lowest level in the county government, such as
Security guards, typists, etc., but their information was not blocked at all, and they immediately recognized this person as the former Assistant Zhou, now County Magistrate Zhou.
"Hello, County Magistrate Zhou!"
"Hello, County Magistrate."
Everyone moved out of the way and asked Zhou Wen to prepare food first, but Zhou Wen smiled and said: "When you line up, there is always someone who comes first, first served."
When it was Zhou Wen's turn, the master chef gave him two extra spoons of meat, and he also added as many green leaves as possible, but even so, Zhou Wen still frowned slightly when he saw the dish.
It was too shabby. The two pieces of inexplicable meat looked like internal organs or lymph. There were bug eyes on the vegetables, which made me unappetizing. The rice was the cheapest hybrid rice. It was loose and not sticky when cooked, and the taste was very bad.
, as for the green vegetable, tofu and egg soup, it was even more pitiful. You couldn’t even get out anything dry with a slotted spoon. It is estimated that the entire pot of soup did not use more than one egg.
When Zhou Wen was the tourism director and assistant to the county magistrate, he, like other directors, never ate in the cafeteria. This was his first time coming to the cafeteria. He was surprised by the poor quality of the food, but as a leader, he
There is always something wrong with the quality of the food. You can't blame the master chef. There are so many things involved. Zhou Wenzi, who has worked at the grassroots level for many years, felt as bright as a mirror.
Holding the dinner plate, Zhou Wen looked around and saw two familiar faces. These two young men were security guards from the county government and were veterans. Last time, they protected Zhou Wen through fire and water. At that time, Zhou Wen had promised to become a regular employee.
Such conditions were similar, but when I later went to the villages and towns, things disappeared.
"Is there no one here?" Zhou Wen asked with a smile and put the dinner plate on the table. The two security guards were flattered and quickly stood up and said: "No one, no one. County Magistrate Zhou, please sit down."
Zhou Wen sat down and was chatting with two security guards while eating. Who was in the family, were they married, how much money could they get every month, etc. The two security guards were a little cautious and did not dare to eat anymore.
He answered the county magistrate’s questions honestly.
"Why are you so serious? We are just eating and chatting. Eat quickly, it will be cold after a while." Zhou Wen said with a smile, like a kind brother, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, and other staff members also came over with a smile.
, the county magistrate is a being as high as the sky. If you can have dinner with the county magistrate, you will have something to brag about for at least half a year after you return.
After finishing the meal, Zhou Wen stood up and said with a smile: "I have to leave quickly. If I don't leave, you will treat me as a giant panda."
There was a burst of laughter, and the clerks and temporary workers were all amused by the humorous County Magistrate Zhou. After he left, they started talking in twos and threes.
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the cars with county government license plates came back one after another. The bureau chiefs and section chiefs walked into the office with their faces flushed from drinking. The news that Zhou Wen had eaten in the cafeteria at noon quickly reached their ears. Before get off work,
The nickname "Show County Magistrate" came out.
As if to live up to this nickname, Zhou Wen published his mobile phone number and email address on the county TV station's noon news the next day, and set up a so-called county magistrate's hotline and county magistrate's email address to receive complaints from the masses.
and suggestions.
For a time, the county government was full of ridicule, especially the powerful deputy county magistrates, who did not hide their contempt for Zhou Wen at all. In terms of age, seniority, and political achievements, none of them was better than Zhou Wen. It was because Zhou Wen was good at showing off and good at showing off.
He was able to express himself in front of the leaders and become the county magistrate. Since the appointment was announced, the deputy county magistrates who had been fighting fiercely now formed an alliance and unanimously targeted Zhou Wen.
During the first week after taking office, Zhou Wen did not do anything. He went to work and off work step by step every day, ate and slept. During this period, he only walked around the county with his wife and children, had a meal of wild boar, and paid the bill out of his own pocket.
After a week of silence like this, Zhou Wen finally took action. He proposed at the government work meeting that he would build a road for Dahe Township to solve the problem of people having difficulty traveling on rainy days. As soon as he finished speaking, the transportation director began to cry about poverty and said that the bureau
Unable to get any money out, Zhou Wen asked where the money allocated for poverty alleviation and road construction every year had gone, and why a road had not been repaired after three years of construction.
The deputy county magistrates in charge of transportation infrastructure and finance all came out to criticize, saying, Magistrate Zhou, you don’t understand the specific situation. Nanjiang Highway is an important channel for coal transportation in Nantai County. Freight costs are now high, and transport trucks are seriously overloaded and overloaded.
, repeated prohibitions, of course the road needs to be maintained every year.
When he said this, several deputy county magistrates looked at Zhou Wen with pity and contempt, as if to say, you don't understand such a simple basic situation, how can you be a county magistrate?
Zhou Wen was indeed choked and speechless, and the meeting ended hastily.
They won the first round, and the deputy county magistrates despised Zhou Wen even more. He was still a county magistrate at this level, and they thought he was not qualified to be a secretary to the county magistrate.
