The convoy drove out of the military division headquarters. In the military car that was clearing the way, Zhao Hui patted Liu Ziguang on the shoulder and said, "Call your county elder and classmate and let the local authorities know."
Liu Ziguang said: "Didn't you say that you are not allowed to disturb the place?"
Zhao Hui said with a smile: "Forget it about the province or the city. It doesn't make sense not to say hello when you get to the county. Besides, this is also an opportunity to show off to your classmates."
…
At this time, the Standing Committee meeting was being held in the conference room of the Nantai County Party Committee. Secretary Xu of the County Party Committee said seriously: "Last night, Guan Weidong of our County Finance Bureau was taken away by people from the Municipal Anti-Corruption Bureau. The report of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection stated that Guan Weidong had been raped many times.
Going to Macau to gamble, the amount involved is as high as tens of millions! Such a major violation of laws and disciplines occurred under our noses, some comrades must reflect deeply!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Deputy County Magistrate Zhu’s face was a bit ugly. The current situation in Nantai County is complicated. Ever since the former secretary and county magistrate stepped down, there has been a situation where both party and government leaders are weak. County Magistrate Zhou Wen is the city’s leader.
The cadres assigned to the lower levels have no foundation at all. Secretary Xu of the county party committee has been the deputy secretary for many years and has always been a roly-poly. Although he is senior, he does not have many subordinates. On the contrary, Deputy County Mayor Zhu is the most powerful and has many allies in the Standing Committee.
, he was originally the most popular candidate for county magistrate, but Zhou Wen came out of nowhere and took away the county magistrate's position, so he naturally became his enemy.
After the transportation director was dismissed last time, Zhou Wen did not pursue the victory and arrange his own troops. Instead, he gave the position of transportation director to Secretary Xu's people. Secretary Xu reciprocated the favor and made Sun Jihai, a direct descendant of Zhou Wen, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.
, the two weak party and government leaders cooperated seamlessly.
Deputy County Magistrate Zhu, who had his wings cut off, felt aggrieved for a while and wanted to attack Zhou Wen. This guy was too shrewd and could not find any faults in either economics or style. The incident of catching an adulterer in a hotel last time was not the case.
With this so vividly in his mind, Deputy County Magistrate Zhu had no choice but to endure the situation.
Unexpectedly, Ma Shan was ridiculed, and good people were bullied. Zhou Wen's next round of combination punches came again. This time, he changed the soup without changing the medicine. He directly used the connections in the city to take down the Finance Bureau.
Well, Deputy County Magistrate Zhu suffered a dumb loss and it was impossible to win back the game. Zhou Wen was meticulous in his work and must have obtained the conclusive evidence of Laoguan, otherwise he would not have acted so ruthlessly.
There was silence in the conference room. Everyone was smoking cigarettes and drinking tea. They were calm on the surface, but inside they were in a turmoil. If County Magistrate Zhou didn't take action, he would be killed if he did. But if you think about it, Lao Guan deserved it.
, Logically speaking, the Finance Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, but the total amount of the notes approved by the county magistrate was only 20,000 yuan. When it arrived at the Finance Bureau, Lao Guan refused to process it, saying that the finances were tight. At that time, everyone was waiting to see what Zhou Wen would do.
What a joke. In the end, they just endured this and didn't do anything for a month. If you don't give me 20,000 yuan, right? I'll just take off your hat and let you spend the rest of your life in jail.
County Magistrate Zhou, Magistrate Zhou, a gentle scholar on the surface, is actually a red snake.
Seeing that all the members of the Standing Committee were silent, Zhou Wen coughed and said: "The Finance Bureau is under the leadership of the county government. If something like this happens, I have the leadership responsibility. Please organize and punish me."
Secretary Xu said: "County Magistrate Zhou has not been in our Nantai County for a long time, and the situation in the Finance Bureau is not clear. This matter has nothing to do with you. If you really need to be punished, you will be punished by me."
The two sang in harmony, revealing that they would no longer pursue the matter upwards. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Zhou Wen say: "The atmosphere of the Finance Bureau should indeed change. According to my investigation, during Guan Weidong's tenure, there was nepotism.
Management is loose and the Finance Bureau is in disarray. Some people even misappropriate public funds to speculate in stocks. This trend must be reversed. Comrade Ren Changrong, deputy director of the Finance Bureau, graduated from the Provincial College of Finance and Economics. He has strong professional qualities and high ideological awareness. I recommend that he take over as director.
.”
Deputy County Magistrate Zhu spoke: "Comrade Ren Changrong is still relatively young, and the situation in the Finance Bureau is also relatively complicated. I suggest that a more experienced comrade be allowed to take up this position. Deputy Director Qiao Yunshan has strong political qualities, and I think it is more suitable."
"
After finishing speaking, Deputy County Magistrate Zhu glanced at everyone present and said, "I am also offering advice. If you have more suitable candidates, you can suggest them."
Everyone understands that the confrontation has begun. The Finance Director and the Public Security Director are both extremely important positions and must be competed for. Deputy County Magistrate Zhu had already contacted them before. He looked at Zhou Wen and Secretary Xu reservedly, holding on to his hand.
I was fiddling with the signature pen, thinking I had a chance to win.
Suddenly Zhou Wen took out his mobile phone from his pocket, took a look at it, and said something to Secretary Xu. Secretary Xu said: "The meeting is temporarily suspended. The county has important reception tasks."
Deputy County Magistrate Zhu asked: "Secretary Xu, is this someone from the province?"
Secretary Xu said: "No, they are from the central government. They asked County Magistrate Zhou to accompany them during the roll call. The head of the central government has strictly ordered not to disturb the local area, so we don't want to all go out and hold a welcome ceremony."
The members of the Standing Committee looked at Zhou Wen with a different look. They thought that County Magistrate Zhou was a real person and could even find connections with the central government. It seemed that the matter of siding with him should be seriously considered.
The Standing Committee meeting was temporarily over. Zhou Wen hurried back to his office and started to point out generals. Sun Jihai from the County Public Security Bureau was indispensable. Since the head of the central government has a military background, it is best for the Armed Forces Department to have someone who is familiar with the history of Nantai County.
He quickly thought of someone, Sang Jingxian from the county magistrate's office. That old man could be useful.
The full name of the County Chronicle Office is the Office of the Nantai County Party History and County Chronicle Compilation Committee. It is a deputy bureau-level institution affiliated with the county government. The establishment is quite refined, with one director, four deputy directors, and one disciplinary inspection committee member.
As for the leadership of party affairs, the specific work was handled by an old teacher transferred from the county. This person was Sang Jingxian.
Although Lao Sang is in the county magistrate's office, the establishment is still in the county No. 1 Middle School. The county is financially tight and has not paid wages for half a year. The teachers are asking Lao Sang, who is in the county government, to stand up for them. Lao Sang is in his fifties.
Since his children no longer work in the county, he went all out and went directly to the county magistrate to report that the teachers’ salary arrears were too much, which seriously affected the quality of teaching. To be honest, Lao Sang went to the county magistrate to file a complaint.
Due to the fierce ideological struggle, he was prepared to be expelled from office or even imprisoned in the Public Security Bureau. However, what he never expected was that the county magistrate was even more anxious than he was. He had already specially approved 20,000 yuan for emergency relief.
, but was suppressed by the Finance Bureau and refused to pay. In the end, the county magistrate raised tens of thousands of dollars from other sources to provide emergency living expenses to the teachers, and said that if anything happened in the future, they could report directly to him.
After this incident, Lao Sang felt that the directors in the office looked at him differently. He used to call him "Teacher Sang", but now he is just Lao Sang, and all the hard work is delegated to him. Lao Sang felt that
I understand that I have been branded as County Magistrate Zhou. People in the county say that Magistrate Zhou will not last long and that there is no future with him. But I am already about to retire, so what will happen even if I am implicated.
The phone in the county magistrate's office rang, and the nearest deputy director picked up the phone calmly: "Hello?"
"Lao Sang, your phone number." The deputy director handed over the phone with a strange look in his eyes.
Sang Jingxian was busy in the pile of copywriting. He quickly picked up the phone and asked, "Where?"
"Teacher Sang, I'm Zhou Wen, come to my office right away." The voice that came from the receiver turned out to be County Magistrate Zhou's.
Sang Jingxian replied: "I'll be there soon, County Magistrate Zhou."
Everyone in the office raised their heads at this moment and watched Lao Sang leave. A deputy director picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said leisurely: "I'm so old, but I'm still standing in the wrong team, huh."
The other deputy directors also sneered and continued to pick up the newspaper.
…
Zhou Wen ordered his troops and called for a large-displacement off-road vehicle from the county government's small car fleet. The group came to the edge of the county seat and started waiting. Several inconspicuous cars appeared not far away. These were county leaders.
The sent spies were curious about who Zhou Wen had hooked up with in the central government, because according to the data, there were no leaders from South Thailand in the central government.
Half an hour later, a convoy appeared, led by a camouflage-painted Changfeng Cheetah with white military license plates, followed by vehicles with military license plates, Toyota Coaster, ambulances, and off-road vehicles, with double flashers all the way.
Come over and drive to a stop in front of Zhou Wen. A few people got out of the first car. After briefly shaking hands and greeting Zhou Wen and others, they got on their own cars and entered the city. Lao Sang got into Mr. Ye's special car as a temporary "tour guide".
The informants called their leaders one after another to report that they only saw a fleet of military-branded vehicles and could not figure out the situation.
"Continue the investigation." Deputy County Magistrate Zhu put down the phone, thinking about Xiao Jiujiu, and began to contact acquaintances in the city.
…
Sang Jingxian has been a teacher all his life. The biggest official he has ever seen is the county magistrate. Now that he suddenly sat next to the head of the central government, he was inevitably a little nervous. But when he saw the kind face of the head and the lack of airs among the staff, he felt relieved.
As the car drove forward, he pointed at the building outside and introduced it.
Mr. Ye was in good spirits today. He made an exception and did not lie on the hospital bed. Instead, he sat on a chair by the window. Toyota Coaster’s seats are all special aviation seats, which are extremely wide and comfortable. He looked at the bustling scenery outside the window and couldn’t help but
He sighed: "It has changed, the changes are really great."
The convoy took the Nantai County Central Avenue, an extremely spacious ten-lane asphalt road. Evergreen plastic coconut trees were planted on the roadside. High-rise buildings abounded. The White House-shaped county government building was hidden among the flowers and green trees.
, looks particularly magnificent.
"Where is that?" Mr. Ye asked, pointing to the White House.
