Chapter 10: It's Decided

ht. 。On a hot summer night, when we first left the county town, one could still faintly see stars in the sky. But the closer we got to Green Water Village, the more stifling it became. 。The smoke fro...The conversation with the members of the team and middle-level cadres ended around noon. 。Around 11:15, the organizing committee member Zhang Qing called Xiao Zheng again: "Xiao Zheng, are you still in the office Please come over here." 。"Chapter Qing actually said "please," which was the first time in two years." 。Before it was Xin A Si inviting himself to dinner, now Zhang Qing actually said "please" to him. 。Xiao Zheng thought, they hadn't even become leaders yet, everyone's attitude had already started to change. If he truly became a leader, there would definitely be more people whose attitude towards him would undergo a fundamental shift. 。Xiao Zheng said, "Committee Member Zhang, I'm coming over now." 。As he reached the main hall of the town government building, Xiao Zheng was drawn to a white piece of paper on the notice board. 。Xiao Zheng walked closer and saw the paper clearly stated: "Public Notice of Cadre Inspection" 。The main purpose is to further implement the right to know, participate, choose and supervise of cadres' selection and appointment by the masses. According to the "Regulations on the Work of Selecting and Appointing Leading Cadres of Party and Government" and relevant regulations of the county committee, a public notice is issued for Xiao Zheng, the candidate under investigation for the position of Township Party Committee Member. 。Here are Xiao Zheng's personal details, including his name, gender, age, and university and major. 。

The following is the contact information for the inspection team, including their phone number and name. 。Since he started working in town, seven years had passed and Xiao Zheng had seen countless such notices of investigation announcements, but none of them were about him. 。Today, seeing my own name so openly displayed on the public notice board, Xiao Zheng still felt a bit moved. 。Xiao Zheng is 29 years old this year. At this age, being promoted to deputy department leader is not early, but it's not late either. 。Compared to many people in the countryside who might never even reach the position of deputy section chief in their lifetimes, Xiao Zheng stepped right into it. 。Of course, we need to evaluate it, but whether it will actually be used is still uncertain. 。At this point, Xiao Zheng was actually starting to want to be the leader. 。After all, the recommendation has been made and the examination has been taken. If he doesn't make it, he will become the biggest joke in town for a while. 。Xiao Zheng took another glance at the notice board, then went upstairs to the fourth floor. 。Zhang Qing was waiting for him outside the small meeting room on the fourth floor, and she reminded him: "Talk about your work and achievements well. As for your shortcomings, try to say something like 'I still need to learn more.' That'll be enough." 。"Zhang Qing actually kindly reminded me, which surprised Xiao Zheng even more. He said: “Thank you, Committee Member Zhang.” 。Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Don't mention it. But when things are done, you have to treat me to a drink." 。"What does 'things being done' mean Zhang Qing is clearly implying that I can be promoted!" Xiao Zheng said, "That goes without saying!" Zhang Qing gently pushed him on the right side of his back and said, "Go in quickly, your leader is waiting for you." 。“

Xiao Zheng walked in and saw the Mediterranean leader who was on stage before, now sitting in a chair with several other staff members. Xiao Zheng called out slightly awkwardly: “Hello, leaders.” 。Although Xiao Zheng graduated from a prestigious university and worked in the countryside for 7 years, his vision was inevitably limited after such a long time at the grassroots level. He was constantly under pressure and felt somewhat restrained when facing his superiors. 。Instead, Minister Shao saw Xiao Zheng walk in and proactively stood up from his position, walked towards Xiao Zheng, and shook his hand with him. 。The other two staff members, seeing Shao Minister's politeness towards Xiao Zheng, were somewhat surprised. But they thought to themselves, since Shao Minister was doing this, there must be a reason. Following the leader is always right. 。Thus, they all stood up and shook hands with Xiao Zheng. 。

Minister Shao extended his hand toward the opposite side with a carefree air and said, "Come, Comrade Xiao Zheng, have a seat." 。Let's chat. 。Next, there's the routine interview. 。Let Xiao Zheng talk about his study situation, work situation and achievements over the past few years, as well as his advantages and disadvantages. 。Xiao Zheng talked according to the requirements. In fact, over the past seven years, Xiao Zheng had changed three jobs and done a lot of things in each position. Especially in his recent work at the safety supervision station, although he was just an ordinary cadre, he also gave Jin Hui many ideas, some of which achieved obvious results. 。However, Xiao Zheng talked about these issues rather briefly and instead focused on the current mining operations being conducted in some villages. He emphasized the pressure these operations put on the ecological environment and the safety hazards they pose to production. 。

Xiao Zheng wasn't trying to show his superiors how dedicated he was to his work. 。Actually, it's because there aren't many opportunities to participate in these types of assessment conversations. I haven't quite mastered the rhythm and level of detail required. 。When it comes to what I really want to say, sometimes I get sidetracked and lose my train of thought. 。Fortunately, Xiao Zheng's talk about the Fengqi Village mine safety issue was a very practical one. Mines not only caused many safety accidents but also seriously damaged water bodies, which is also an issue that needs to be addressed in the "Mirror Lake Zero Point Action". 。At county assemblies and meetings, the question of whether An County will continue down a path of environmental destruction or choose the path of ecological restoration is becoming increasingly important. 。However, at the beginning of the century, the current government's assessment was still focused on assessment. Besides mining, it is really hard to say what other development path the people of An County could take to get rich. Whether the mountain issue would be completely resolved, neither of these two sessions of county leaders made a final decision. 。According to Director Shao's idea, taking the path of green and sustainable development is the right way for An County. 。But he has always been in charge of human resources, not economic work, and was unable to make his mark. 。。

When Minister Shao heard these thoughts, he felt a deep sense of sympathy. 。Originally, he received the task from above to assess Xiao Zheng. He thought that Xiao Zheng had a solid background and didn't think he was capable. He recommended the assessment just to go through the motions. 。After hearing Xiao Zheng's report on these ideas, Minister Shao had a change of opinion about Xiao Zheng. 。He felt that Xiao Zheng, this young man, had his own ideas and was quite familiar with grassroots work. He wasn't just a graduate of a prestigious university with good quality, but he really had the ambition to make a difference. This was all very good. 。If it hadn't been for a reminder from a member of the inspection team next to him that Shao Satellite had been talking for too long, he would have liked to continue chatting with Xiao Zheng. 。But this inspection team's mission is still quite tense, so Shao Weixing said: "Xiao Zheng comrade, today you introduced your study, work and achievements, as well as your ideas for solving the problems of the mine >>> 。In my opinion, these ideas are all excellent and highly valuable. 。I was hoping to hear more about your constructive feedback, but time is limited this time as we're heading back to the county soon. 。That's all for today, let's chat again next time. 。The deputy director of the Organization Department and head of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau said they wanted to chat with him again. Xiao Zheng had never been treated like this before. 。Of course, Director Shao is very likely just speaking hypothetically. But this still deeply touched the heart of a grassroots cadre. 。Today, there were too many unexpected things that happened to Xiao Zheng. 。This time, Xiao Zheng didn't wait. He took the initiative to walk to the other side of the table and shook hands with Minister Shao. He also shook hands with the other two cadres from the Organization Department. 。You know, it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his minions. The examination materials were definitely written by those two young men. Since they've already reached this point, Xiao Zheng naturally hopes they can do a good job. 。

The two cadres were also very polite, shaking hands with Xiao Zheng and then walking out together with Minister Shao. 。The organizing committee member Zhang Qing immediately accompanied them to the secretary of the Party Committee, Song Guoming's office for a brief visit. Then they left Tianguang Town by official car. 。Song Guoming also expressed an invitation to the inspection team to have a meal in town, but he was not very enthusiastic. Shao Weixing naturally felt it and pushed back, saying that he had a tight schedule and returned to the county. 。After watching them leave, Xiao Zheng planned to return to his office on the balcony of the deputy building. 。Suddenly, he caught sight of two people on the balcony of the main building, watching the government car as well. 。These two are Zhen Party Committee Secretary Song Guoming and Director of the United Front Work Department Cai Shao Hua. 。After the Organization Department's official car drove out of the gate, Song Guoming and Cai Shaohua returned to the secretary's office. 。Xiao Zheng felt they hadn't discovered him. 。But even if they found out, wouldn't everyone already know each other Anyway, as long as Song Guoming is in charge, he won't be friendly to Xiao Zheng. And Xiao Zheng doesn't need to act like a good boy. 。These days, Xiao Zheng seems to have understood something: in the bureaucracy, you have to show your emotions—your joy, anger, sorrow, and fear—for people to take you seriously. 。Even if I treated you as a thorn in my side, an opponent, and even an enemy, it would be more comfortable and enjoyable than being stuck there and letting people bully me!

Xiao Zheng didn't know what Song Guoming and Cai Shaohua went back to the office for, but it probably wouldn't do him any good. 。That afternoon, Xiao Zheng went to find Deputy Town Mayor Jin Hui again and asked him if he was going down to the village. Jin Hui looked at Xiao Zheng strangely: "Aren't you already in the probationary period You might even be promoted. Why are you still thinking about the Anjian Station Just take a couple of days off and wait for the results." 。Actually, Jin Hui was well-intentioned. He was thinking of Xiao Zheng's best interests. 。Most of the time, Xiao Zheng is the one doing the work, regardless of whether anyone can promote him. These days, I just want to give Xiao Zheng a break. 。Ke Xiaozheng said, "Mayor Jin, let's go down to the village." 。Well, I have nothing better to do anyway. The main thing is that the safety hazards in Fengqi Village are still there, like a time bomb, you never know when it will explode. 。Let's be cautious. 。“You’re too dedicated, Xiao Zheng,” Jin Hui said with a smile, looking at him. “It seems like promoting you was the right decision.” 。After lunch, the two of them left Fengqixiu Village. 。This time, both of them went up the mountain to mine. The safety hazards were still there, very obvious, but the village showed no intention of making any improvements. Jin Hui and Xiao Zheng could only argue with the village Party secretary and headman in the village. 。In the evening, the village head and village chief kept Jinhui and Xiaozheng for dinner. 。Xiao Zheng didn't want to stay, but Jin Hui was willing to eat dinner at the village. Xiao Zheng had no choice. 。At dinner, the village Party Secretary and Village Head showed a clear improvement in their attitude towards Xiao Zheng. They even congratulated him on being included in the list of candidates for review. 。But Xiao Zheng was not swayed. These shifts in attitude were nothing more than technical adjustments by these village elders. 。Xiao Zheng hopes they can take some practical action and solve the safety problems of the mines. 。However, once he started drinking, Jin Hui became all about "me good, you good, everyone good." 。The actual problem is still not solved. 。On the way back to town in the evening, Xiao Zheng, who had had some drinks, suddenly felt like calling Chen Hong and telling her about his inspection. 。

It was inconvenient to call in the car, so Xiao Zheng didn't dial Chen Hong's number until he returned to his dormitory. 。what if the county head doesn't approve of our "Beautiful Rural Construction" project and asks us to stop tomorrow That's what we're really worried about. 。The county magistrate is after all a leader,...
