Wu Zhengfu was very alert. When he saw the gesture Jiang Wenjie made to him, he already realized that these people in front of him should not be ordinary people. Therefore, under the influence of the psychology of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, he did not hesitate.
He said, I came here today to exercise.
The reason why Wu Zhengfu always wears sportswear every time he burns incense is to cope with sudden unexpected events.
Every time he burns incense, Secretary-General Jiang Wenjie will come in advance and stand guard outside to ensure that he will not be disturbed or inspected when he burns incense.
Because of his caution, he has never had any problems since he started to smoke incense.
Li Tianyi sat there quietly from beginning to end, as if he didn't even see Wu Zhengfu.
Jiang Wenjie did not dare to say anything at this moment because he was worried that the person sitting there was really Li Tianyi.
Although Jiang Wenjie is already the secretary-general of the Taozhou Municipal Government, he knows that not to mention himself as a small secretary-general, even Wu Zhengfu, the mayor at the department level, must be cautious in front of the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Therefore, he only dared to make gestures behind Li Tianyi to remind Wu Zhengfu.
Seeing that Wu Zhengfu understood, he felt relieved.
Zhang Tao looked at Wu Zhengfu calmly and said, "Mayor Wu, right?"
Wu Zhengfu looked at Zhang Tao coldly and said, "Who are you? Don't you know this is our tourist attraction? What is your purpose of obstructing us here?"
Zhang Tao smiled slightly and said: "Mayor Wu, I have long heard that you come to Yinfeng Temple to burn the first incense on every first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. Now it seems that the rumors are true. You will come at around four o'clock
Sending the secretary-general to come and defend the front line is a well-intentioned move."
Wu Zhengfu said coldly: "Comrade, you can wear random clothes and shoes, but don't say random words. I can sue you for defamation. Which of your eyes saw that I came to offer incense?
Which of your eyes saw me lighting the first incense?"
Li Tianyi suddenly laughed, stood up and said: "Comrade Wu Zhengfu, if we had waited in the temple just now instead of waiting here, wouldn't we have been able to see you offering the first incense?"
Seeing Li Tianyi who suddenly stood up, Wu Zhengfu took a closer look and his face changed drastically. Although the light was still a little dim, a trace of fish belly white was already showing in the eastern sky at this moment, and the light was getting better.
Coupled with Li Tianyi's tall figure and handsome appearance, Wu Zhengfu recognized Li Tianyi immediately.
Wu Zhengfu quickly said with great respect: "Hello, Secretary Li, when did you come to our Taozhou City? You should have told me earlier so that I could do a good job in reception."
Li Tianyi said calmly: "There is no need for reception. If you really want to receive reception, then please take me to the temple to sit for a while. By the way, you can give me the first stick of incense.
I want to see how the first incense is burned, is this okay?"
Wu Zhengfu immediately said seriously: "Secretary Li, this is not okay. I am a staunch Marxist. The socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era is my belief. Burning incense and worshiping Buddha is nothing."
Wu Zhengfu spoke righteously and seemed to have a firm stance.
Li Tianyi said with a smile: "Mayor Wu, feel free to go. I won't count you as violating discipline, because I heard that the person who burns the first incense will receive blessings and protection.
I have long heard that you have made a lot of achievements in Taozhou City. This first stick of incense today can be regarded as recognition for you. In addition, I also want to see how many Taozhou there will be at this time today.
Officials from the prefecture and city came to offer incense. Mayor Wu, you will not cooperate with my work."
Wu Zhengfu's face was a little gloomy, and his eyes looking at Li Tianyi were full of fear. He quickly said: "Okay, since Secretary Li has given instructions, I will definitely follow Secretary Li's instructions."
As he spoke, Wu Zhengfu made a greeting gesture with his hands and said: "Secretary Li, please come forward."
Li Tianyi smiled and patted Wu Zhengfu on the back and said: "Mayor Wu, you are the owner here and I am the guest here. How can I walk in front? Let's do this. Let's walk side by side and enter together."
.”
This time, Li Tianyi did not let Zhang Tao take away Wu Zhengfu's mobile phone and other communication tools, because it was no longer necessary. During the next period of time, Li Tianyi would stay with Wu Zhengfu, and it was impossible for Wu Zhengfu to find an opportunity to ask for help.
No information was released outside, and Jiang Wenjie’s cell phone was temporarily placed in Zhang Tao’s bag, so there was no chance to transmit information to the outside world.
After entering Yinfeng Temple, Wu Zhengfu finished burning the first incense under the watchful eye of Li Tianyi, and then went to the Zen room at the back to rest. This time, Wu Zhengfu and Jiang Wenjie were with Li Tianyi, and they had no chance to convey anything to the outside world.
information.
Zhang Tao and Zhuge Tong walked outside and found a relatively secluded place, waiting silently.
Time passed by one minute and one second. At about 5:30, people came to offer incense in an endless stream. At this moment, Wu Zhengfu and Jiang Wenjie were sitting in the Zen room, looking at the people who came to offer incense in an endless stream.
, all looked very ugly.
Because they all know many of the people who come to offer incense. They are all officials from the municipal party committee or city government or various government agencies.
As the saying goes, what is loved above is what is loved below. If the leader likes to play table tennis, then table tennis will inevitably become popular in the unit. If the leader likes to play the piano, the subordinates will definitely find ways to learn it.
If a leader likes to burn incense and worship Buddha, subordinates will also burn incense and worship Buddha in order to find a common language with their superiors. This is the leadership effect.
At this moment, Zhang Tao was holding a piece of paper with golden characters that had been printed long ago at the door, showing it to those who wanted to go out.
There are a few words written on the paper: "Comrades who have done the incense, please stand by my side. Mayor Wu has something to say."
After a while, most of the cadres in Taozhou City stood beside Zhang Tao, because they knew very well that this was a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with Mayor Wu Zhengfu, so no one wanted to
give up.
Of course, there were some citizens who were not interested in the words written on this piece of paper and went directly down the mountain. Zhang Tao did not stop them. However, outside the entrance of Yinfeng Temple, Zhuge Tong kept holding up the paper in his hand.
A high-definition camera was installed to take pictures of everyone who came out. On the surface, he was taking pictures of the gate of Yinfeng Temple, but in fact, he was taking pictures of everyone who came out.
Time flies by so fast, it’s already 7 o’clock in the morning in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, there were as many as 32 people gathered around Zhang Tao. When Zhang Tao saw these people standing there silently, his heart was filled with anger and sentimentality.
At this time, there were very few people coming in and out. Zhuge Tong walked in, went straight to the Zen room, and reported to Li Tianyihui: "Secretary Li, everything has been done."
Li Tianyi nodded, smiled and said to Wu Zhengfu and Jiang Wenjie: "You two, let's go out together now and see how many of your Taozhou City cadres like to come here to burn incense and worship Buddha."
With that said, Li Tianyi walked out, and Wu Zhengfu and Jiang Wenjie followed Li Tianyi with embarrassed faces.
When they arrived at the entrance of Yinfeng Temple, the people who had originally gathered around Zhang Tao gathered around Wu Zhengfu and Jiang Wenjie and greeted them one after another. Suddenly, the titles of Mayor Wu and Secretary General came and went.
Li Tianyi walked out of the gate of Yinfeng Temple calmly. When Wu Zhengfu and Jiang Wenjie saw this, they could only helplessly follow Li Tianyi out.
Although Li Tianyi does not believe in Buddhism or Taoism, let alone any sect, as Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Li Tianyi respects these places and the beliefs of others.
After walking out of the gate of Yinfeng Temple, Li Tianyi walked down 50 meters and stood at the corner. When Wu Zhengfu and Jiang Wenjie saw this, they could only stand on the steps below Li Tianyi with bitter faces.
When everyone else saw the positions of Wu Zhengfu and Jiang Wenjie, they naturally did not dare to neglect them. They all took their positions according to the size and level of their respective official positions.
For people like them, there is no need for others to teach them. They know their own position very clearly and will never stand in the wrong position. This is their most basic business and the business they are most proficient in.
Li Tianyi was at the top of the steps, looking down at the Taozhou City cadres below, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Tao, Jiang Wenjie, could you two please register everyone present, and register all their names, official positions, and contact information?"
Come down."
As soon as Li Tianyi said these words, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically. They all looked at Jiang Wenjie and asked, "Secretary-General, what is going on?"
Naturally, Jiang Wenjie did not dare to say anything more, and just said: "Stop arguing, just do as Secretary Li said."
Although Jiang Wenjie did not directly identify Li Tianyi, but according to Secretary Li, everyone at the scene was shocked.
Some people who were familiar with the situation in Jiangnan Province immediately thought of a person after seeing Li Tianyi's face, and their faces turned pale at that time.
After Zhang Tao finished registering, he handed the roster to Li Tianyi. After Li Tianyi glanced at it, he looked at Wu Zhengfu coldly.
Wu Zhengfu's face was full of bitterness.
On this roster, there are eight people from municipal government agencies, 13 people from various municipal bureaus under the jurisdiction of the municipal government, and others from the municipal party committee or some departments under the municipal party committee.
Li Tianyi glanced at everyone's faces with a gloomy expression, and said in a deep voice: "Comrades, please introduce yourselves. I am Li Tianyi, Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection of Jiangnan Province who has just taken office. I am here today because I want to see
I saw how many cadres in Taozhou City have lost their faith. It opened my eyes today.
Good guy, there are a total of 32 people. And the levels are not low. There are 18 cadres above the deputy director level, and the remaining 14 are also cadres at the department level.
Comrades, when I see you burning incense, you are all very pious, and you are mumbling words. So I am very curious, when you are burning incense and worshiping Buddha so piously, have you ever thought in your hearts that as a party member and cadre, you should do
