Rebirth of Merry Career

On a hot summer day, behind the office building of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee, the air conditioner in the small auditorium was turned on, and the cool breeze was blowing, but it still felt a little stuffy. Hundreds of people were crowded in the auditorium, except for the cadres who went out. Most of the local cadres above the stock level attended the meeting, and Zhou Jing was no exception. He sat in the left position in the back row, flipping through the minutes of the meeting, and absently listening to the speech of the leader on the stage, because Qin Xiaoqian did not come. He was also a little unmotivated.

Sitting next to him is Zou Fangheng, the chief of the secret department. Since Liang Baocheng's death, this Zou secretary has become more and more serious. I don't have much contact with people, and when I am not summoned, I shut myself in the office, and I don't know what I am busy with.

The relationship between him and Zhou Jing is still good. Although the two of them don't see each other twice a week, every time they get together, they can chat speculatively. Zou Fangheng didn't despise Zhou Jing because he was young, even in his opinion , this young man has a maturity that does not match his age, and he has established a good personal relationship with the leaders of the provincial party committee. Naturally, his political prospects are very promising, and he is worth interacting with.

At this meeting, a series of personnel adjustments were announced, including two deputy mayors, and several important candidates for bureau leaders. I don't know if Zhou Jing's recommendation worked, or Niu Li's remaining work is in place. , this time he was not in vain. He was finally transferred from the agricultural machinery factory to the city and became the deputy mayor in charge of science and technology. One of the winners.

As for the agricultural machinery factory, it was naturally handed over to Yang Hengsheng, the deputy director of the factory. Besides him, the other deputy mayor was not a local cadre from Qingyang, but a cadre parachuted from the Propaganda Department of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee. His name is Cao Zhongping. He is not tall, has a dark complexion, but has a strong aura. He barely sits at the bottom of the rostrum, but he steals the spotlight. He holds materials from time to time, frowns and contemplates. He used to be in charge of publicity, and was familiar with reporters, so the camera was always aiming there and dangling.

Zhou Jing was not very familiar with the other newly appointed leaders. Zou Fangheng stretched out his fingers and introduced them in a low voice, talking about their strengths and weaknesses. It is not in the camera lens, so apart from not being able to smoke, it is very free. Zou Fangheng has been in the committee for a long time, and he is very familiar with the cadres below. , eloquently.

The meeting had been going on for four or ten minutes, but it still didn't end. Both of them couldn't sit still. After exchanging glances, they slipped out quietly and stood smoking in the corridor outside. Zou Fangheng looked out the window, frowned and took a breath. Yan turned to look at Zhou Jing, and said in a low voice, "Secretary Zhou, how did I hear that Man Ting Ji will be transferred to the Jiangdu Municipal Government Office as Deputy Secretary-General?"

Zhou Jing showed surprise, and said in surprise, "Really? I don't know very well."

Zou Fangheng glanced at him, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother, your mouth is strict enough. You can only get in and out of everything. You are the secret of the court. You don't know about this kind of thing. Who else would?" clear?"

Zhou Jing shook his head with a smile, and said softly: "It's really not clear. Recently, I haven't been in touch with Man Ting Ji. He studied in the party school and hasn't come back. I'm probably the one with the most closed information in our committee. people."

Zou Fangheng let out a groan, with a complicated expression on his face, dusted off the cigarette ash, and said mysteriously: "Last weekend, I went with Li Ji once, and I met Man Ting Ji, and the two of them also met and chatted. "

Zhou Jing felt a little unbelievable, and said in surprise: "The two of them met and chatted?"

Zou Fangheng nodded with a smile, glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "Man Ting Ji went to the Provincial Party School to study this time. It was a blessing in disguise. Guess who he knew at the Party School?"

"How would I know!" Zhou Jing shook his head, and asked with a smile, "Brother, just say it straight, don't go around the bush!"

Zou Fangheng smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "It is said that he is the son of Minister Liu's family of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. With the help of Mr. Liu, the matter on the case is basically over. The deputy secretary-general is a cadre at the department level, and if he has an opportunity in the future, if he releases it, he may be the secretary of the county party committee, which means that the west is not bright and the east is bright!"

Zhou Jing was also a little surprised when he heard this, and continued: "Then when Li Ji and Man Ting Ji met, did they just smile away their grievances?"

Zou Fangheng frowned and took a puff of cigarette, extinguished half of the cigarette, threw it at his feet, and said with a low laugh, "I don't know exactly what I'm talking about. , However, the expressions on the faces of the two were very happy at the time, as if they had a good conversation."

After a pause, he added: "Of course, there must be a grudge. There's nothing I can do about it. There was too much trouble a while ago!"

Zhou Jing smiled and didn't answer the call. After smoking his cigarette, he walked into the meeting place side by side with him, took a nap, and returned to the office alone after the meeting was over. After sitting for less than 10 minutes, the phone on the desk rang , He looked at the number, saw that it was the organization department, he was a little strange, connected the phone, gave a hello, and the head of the organization Zhou Lifeng laughed heartily: "Xiao Zhou, it's me!"

Zhou Jing didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhou, hello."

Zhou Lifeng smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, if it's convenient, come to my office, I have good news to tell you."

"Good news?" Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment. Some monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, but he still smiled and said respectfully: "Okay, Zhou Ji, please wait a moment, I'll go over."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, hurried to the back building, arrived at the second floor of the organization department, and knocked on Minister Zhou's office.Zhou Lifeng was very enthusiastic when he saw him. He personally made tea for him, took some forms, put them on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "I just received it. The Organization Department of the Central Committee will send a group of young cadres to go abroad for training. There are three places in the province, and the competition is very fierce. The Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee called and asked to put your name in, but we only signed you up here. How about it, this is a great thing!"

Zhou Jing looked calm, smiled slightly, picked up the form, glanced at it a few times, and then came to his senses, knowing that the little beauty was operating in secret and was in charge of her own affairs, so she couldn't help sighing, and whispered: "Mr. Is it Li Siyan from the second office of cadres?"

Zhou Lifeng shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it's the call from Director Guan. According to him, the above has a good impression of you, especially the article on the reform of state-owned enterprises. It's well written. The provincial leaders read it. I think you are a seedling, and I plan to list you as a key training target. This opportunity to go abroad is especially rare, so you must grasp it well!"

Because Zhou Jing was not mentally prepared, he felt very abrupt and a little stunned. After a while, he showed embarrassment and said hesitantly: "Minister Zhou, I have never thought of going abroad before. I was surprised to hear this news. I can't make a decision now. I want to think about it again."

"Such a good thing, why are you thinking about it?" Zhou Lifeng was a little anxious, knocked on the table, and patiently started his work, saying earnestly: "Xiao Zhou, don't be confused, to tell you the truth, your current If you can't keep up with your academic qualifications, your future development will definitely be greatly affected. This time to go abroad for training is an excellent opportunity, so don't miss it, otherwise, it will be too late to regret it!"

Zhou Jing smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, Minister Zhou, I'll take these forms back and fill them out first, and I'll send them to you after they're done."

"Okay, but hurry up, the higher-ups are still in a hurry!" Zhou Lifeng seemed very happy, and after a few words of encouragement, he shook hands with Zhou Jing cordially and sent him outside the door, leaning against the door Looking at Zhou Jing's back disappearing at the end of the corridor, he sighed, looked up at the sky, and said enviously: "This is going to Harvard, two years, this kid is really lucky!"

But when he returned to the office, Zhou Jing looked at the forms, but he was at a loss as to whether to go or stay, he was still undecided. After a while, he picked up his mobile phone, dialed the number, and called the little beauty Li Siyan. After connecting, he whispered : "Siyan, what are you doing?"

"I'm eating walnuts!" There was a crisp sound of 'click' in her ear. Li Siyan held the pliers in her hand, crushed the walnut shell, took out the kernels, put them in her mouth, and chewed carefully. The document in front of her Above, a hill of broken walnut shells had piled up.

Zhou Jing sighed, picked up the form in his hand, and said softly: "Siyan, Director Zhou of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee just talked to me about going abroad for training."

Li Siyan smiled sweetly, and said softly: "That's a good thing, why, can't bear to leave?"

Zhou Jingjing nodded, with a complicated mood: "I haven't considered it yet."

Li Siyan pursed her pink lips and said resentfully: "You, don't be so stubborn anymore. At your age, it is impossible to reach a higher level within two or three years. What is needed at this time is not to go around at the grassroots level, but to Go out to recharge, see the outside world, broaden your horizons, increase your knowledge, learn from each other's strengths, and lay a good foundation for future development, this is the right way!"

Zhou Jing smiled, took out a cigarette, stuffed it into his mouth, lit it, frowned, took two puffs, and exhaled smoke rings: "Siyan, will you go with me for training abroad this time?"

Li Siyan sighed, fiddling with her slender and white fingers, and said in a soft tone: "This quota is originally mine, but it's just that you need this opportunity because you have a lower education background."

Zhou Jing was a little regretful, but also extremely moved, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, Siyan!"

Li Siyan pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Thank you, no need, just don't blame me in private!"

Zhou Jing was slightly taken aback, and said puzzledly, "What's your fault?"

Li Siyan pursed her lips, and said sourly: "If you go out for training, won't you miss your sister Jiani?"

Zhou Jing smiled and blurted out: "Same, I won't see you either!"

After hearing this, Li Siyan's nose was sore and she almost shed tears. After a long while, she sighed and said quietly: "That's nothing, I just hope you go out and don't mess around, just make a joke."

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No, if you go out, you must hurry up and learn something, and you won't waste your time."

Li Siyan hummed, and said expectantly: "That's good, when you come back from your studies, I will ask Dad to assign Liu Fa and transfer you over as a personal secretary. At that time, we can be together every day." ,OK?"

After hearing this, Zhou Jing couldn't bear to refuse. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangement!"
