Jagged City - Chapter 360 Recommending the Mayor

When Lin Tao returned to Xiliang, he immediately began to select Dongchuan's executive deputy mayor. The mayor and the executive deputy mayor double-regulated, which dealt a big blow to the Dongchuan government. In addition, the Sanchen illegal fund-raising case required courageous figures to solve.Therefore, Lin Tao chose to choose, and decided to have a strong promotion ability. Wang Kehan, the tough mayor of Guhe District, was appointed as the executive deputy mayor of Dongchuan to solve this case. As for the mayor candidate, the province will intervene. He has great power, but he doesn't want to be dictatorial in personnel matters.Lin Tao's principle of employing people is that the capable go up and the mediocre go down.Even if the province appoints a mayor, if he is incapable, Lin Tao will transfer him away.The position of the mayor of Dongchuan is relatively sensitive. Lin Tao does not want to intervene for the time being, but just asks the secretary to temporarily act as the mayor.

When Wang Kehan ​​was interviewed by Lin Tao by name, he was very excited when Lin Tao said that he would be promoted and promoted. Wang Kehan ​​was already 40 years old.There is still a lot of room for improvement in the future after being promoted at this moment, so I am very moved in my heart. I promise to live up to Lin Tao's trust and organize the promotion so that I will definitely solve the Sanchen case.As a special matter, Wang Kehan ​​went to Dongchuan to take up the post that day, and was accompanied by the head of Xiliang Organization.Originally, the five cities were integrated into one, so Lin Tao had great personnel rights.The top mayors and secretaries of the four major urban areas need to be inspected and appointed by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and the Organization Department of the Xiliang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government below the deputy department level has the right to appoint and dismiss.Moreover, Lin Tao called the Secretary of the Dongchuan Municipal Party Committee and asked him to fully support Wang Kehan ​​in handling the Sanchen case. The Secretary of the Dongchuan Municipal Party Committee immediately promised to implement Lin Tao's intentions.The secretary also let out a sigh of relief for the Sanchen case, because the pressure from the top and bottom has been too great this week.Not only the provincial leaders criticized and pressured, but the anger of the common people was also hard to resist.At this moment, it was like sitting on pins and needles, Lin Tao sent a thunderbolt, he welcomed it with both hands.Because the secretary knows that if the Sanchen case is investigated deeply, many moths will have to be dug out, and if one is not careful, he will be stuck in a quagmire, unable to extricate himself.Now that there is a new deputy mayor, and Lin Tao is on top, it will be easier for him to be in the middle. Therefore, I am very grateful to Lin Tao. As soon as Wang Kehan ​​took office, he took the initiative to invite him to introduce the situation.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Tao took the Sanchen case as a breakthrough point, and acted vigorously, causing Dongchuan's originally disaffected leading cadres to panic. Wang Kehan ​​took office for only a week, and five department-level and deputy department-level cadres were dismissed.The province asked the Xiliang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to recommend a mayor candidate as a reference for the Organization Department.After discussing with Zhang Yuhe, Lin Tao and Zhang Yuhe recommended Wen Xingyun, the deputy mayor. Although Wen Xingyun's qualifications are not deep, he has education and ability. Standing Committee.Lin Tao pushed Wen Xingyun out because he wanted Bi Yuelian's father to have some activities. It would be best if he could take the post, but even if he couldn't, he would make a name for himself and let people know that Wen Xingyun had the ability to be mayor.

The next night, Wen Xingyun treated guests to a villa in Xiliang.Lin Tao happily went to the banquet, but Bi Yuelian's father, Bi Standing Committee, was also there.And we went out the door. Although Lin Tao is now at the same level as Bi Standing Committee, he didn't dare to make a big deal, so he took two quick steps and stretched out his hand.

"Welcome Mayor Lin as a guest!" Bi Standing Committee member laughed.

"Uncle Bi is too far-fetched, why did he come here so quietly? I'm a little embarrassed to come here empty-handed." Lin Tao laughed.

Standing Committee member Bi took Lin Tao's hand, said great, and cordially invited him into the villa. Bi Yuelian called Brother Lin, and took out a new pair of slippers for Litou with a smile.Lin Taoxin said that the enthusiasm of this family made him a little overwhelmed!Wen Xingyun also called Lin Tao Brother Lin, which sounds closer.Everyone entered the restaurant directly and invited Lin Tao to take a seat.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Lin Tao couldn't help but praise: "Yue Lian is really good at the hall and the kitchen, Xingyun is blessed!"

Bi Yuelian blushed slightly, and said coyly: "Lin Tao, you are making fun of me. I am not yet able to cook a table of dishes, but I made this sweet and sour fish. Xingyun made the rest."

Old Bi snorted, but he was ashamed to say that Bi Yuelian stuck out her tongue.Lin Tao said with a smile: "That's Yue Lian's blessing. Finding a husband is not only capable, but also good at cooking. It is said that governing a big country is like cooking a small dish. Xingyun has this skill and is more than enough to be a mayor."

Wen Xingyun smiled and said: "Lin Tao praised me too much. This time I recommended me, but it made me a little scared. I am studying by your side, and then I work. I feel that being the mayor is not enough."

Bi Standing Committee member also said: "Yes, although Xingyun is very capable, the promotion of the mayor is a bit too fast, and he still lacks the ability to control the overall situation. However, Xingyun has really improved a lot after working under you for two years. Less!"

Lin Tao shook his head and objected: "I don't agree with Uncle Bi's words. I think Xingyun's ability is enough. The urban planning and construction of Xiliang City is obvious to all. The work of the administrative hall is also very successful. Ability is one aspect. Opportunities are also very important, and now that opportunities come, we should seize them without hesitation. As for whether we are competent in the eyes of others, we just need to prove it with facts.”

Not only was Bi Standing Committee member not unhappy with Lin Tao's rebuttal, but it was said to the bottom of his heart, and he held back a smile and said insincerely: "No, we don't have the courage of your young people, and we can't keep up with the trend."

"Uncle Bi is still growing strong, how can he say he can't do it anymore?"

"You kid is really drinking!" Old Bi blushed slightly, Wen Xingyun smiled embarrassedly, Bi Yuelian pursed her lips, and looked at Lin Tao brilliantly.Lin Tao is a mysterious and powerful person. He treats people and things well, no matter the age or age, he can think of getting along very well, which often makes people ignore the officialdom.

"Brother Lin, try the fish I made, isn't it delicious?" Bi Yuelian took a piece of fish for Lin Tao, and Lin Tao put it in his mouth, showing a slightly surprised expression.Then he said, "It's delicious, sweeter than candy!"

Bi Yuelian was embarrassed, and Lao Bi and Wen Xingyun laughed.Several people tasted it, and it was really sweet enough.Bi Yuelian also muttered aggrievedly: "I follow the recipe, just put two spoonfuls of sugar, why is it so sweet?"

Wen Xingyun asked: "You didn't put it with a spoon, did you?"

"Isn't it?" Bi Yuelian asked back.

Lao Bi shook his head and sighed: "It's really not good for four bodies and five grains! Even if I haven't done it, I know that this kind of small spoon is used!"

"What a broken book, I can't write it clearly, I don't know the size of a spoon! This is an editor's problem." Bi Yuelian made a fuss unreasonably.Old Bi was speechless.

Lin Tao agreed: "What Yue Lian said is also true. Sometimes some articles and reports are the same. I think that everyone knows some international terms and phrases, so I use a few letters to replace them. It shows that I am knowledgeable and an expert. In fact, it is a bad attitude. Seriously. Books and reports are for the general public, not professionals, and must be understood by everyone.”

"Enn, Brother Lin, I very much agree with what Brother Lin said. Dad, you should also raise your opinions at the meeting. It is best to add notes to those international nouns. Or write the abbreviations in the brackets of the Chinese phrases, so that everyone can understand. understood."

Lin Tao laughed and said, "Why did you still give Minister Bi your opinion?"

Lao Bi said solemnly: "This is really a problem. I didn't understand the English abbreviation several times, and I checked it now. It is really necessary to urge all the media to improve it. I have to say that Lin Tao's eyes are really sharp, and Pay attention to the details of life. On this point, you have to learn from Lin Tao."

"Okay, Uncle Bi, you're complimenting me. I'm full and I can't eat any more food. That's a bad thing. Well, this dish is very tasty." Lin Tao took a bite of the green vegetables after speaking.

"Sister Xiao Xiao is full of praise for your cooking. I don't know when I will have a chance to taste it. Let Xingyun learn from you." Bi Yuelian said with a smile.

Lin Tao was unfair for Wen Xingyun: "Why don't you talk about learning, and let Wen Xingyun learn?"

"Is there a specialization in surgery? This is Xingyun's specialty, isn't it?" Bi Yuelian looked at her husband and asked.

"Yes, sometimes I prefer to cook." Wen Xingyun had to say.

"You are too used to her, I think you can enroll in a chef class and learn it well." Lao Bi hummed.

Bi Yuelian said bluntly: "Do men's cooking taste better than women's? Look, the chefs in the restaurant are not all men, how many women are there?"

"Did you learn this sentence from Xiao Xiao? It's all the same tune." Lin Tao said.

"Sister Xiao Xiao is right, I agree very much."

"Actually, it's just that women love beauty, and they are afraid that something will smell of oily smoke, so they stay away from the kitchen and make excuses. If you want to cook, she must keep praising the delicious food, and she will have to do it again next time."

"Well, Brother Lin's analysis is on point, it's really the case. I said that Yue Lian always praises the deliciousness of my cooking!"

Old Comrade Bi also thought so, and Bi Yuelian said angrily: "How can you doubt my character, really. Washing dishes is dirty and tiring, so I'm not in charge."

Lin Tao suddenly laughed and said: "Just a little joke, the couple respect each other as guests, and cooking and washing dishes together is also a kind of happiness. If there is a division of labor, it would be meaningless to make one, three, five, two, four, and six. The most important thing is mutual tolerance. I I read a magazine and said that some foreign families have to share the cost of buying a magazine, and I feel that they are renting together, not married.”

"It sounds like Lin Tao really understands the true meaning of marriage. Yue Lian, sometimes you have to be more compassionate and talk about things!" Lao Bi said.

"Xiao Lian is very kind to me, I am very content." Wen Xingyun said quickly.

"Hmph, you have a conscience." Bi Yuelian had a coquettish attitude of a child, not at all the serious look broadcast on the evening news in Northwest Province.

Lin Tao looked at Bi Yuelian and suddenly thought of Xiliang's propaganda career, so he couldn't help asking: "Yuelian, you want to continue working in the TV station, and you don't want to change jobs."

Lao Bi and Wen Xingyun frowned, looked at Lin Tao, wondering what Lin Tao meant by that?Bi Yuelian was pleasantly surprised: "Brother Lin, do you have any good jobs for me? To be honest, I'm really tired of TV stations. Although the evening news anchors are very good, they are not as popular as entertainment anchors. Watching those beauties jumping and dancing, I feel a little dated."

Lao Bi's heart sank. He always thought that his daughter liked working in the TV station, but he never thought that his daughter would be bored.

"If you are willing to give in, the Propaganda Department has a position as an executive deputy director." Lin Tao sipped his soup and said with a smile. Old Bi and Wen Xingyun were surprised. That was a real position at the deputy department level. Besides, Xiliang is not what it used to be. Than, almost every position is hot.Let alone the executive deputy minister.

"Brother Lin, you didn't fool me? Is it true?" Bi Yuelian leaned forward on the table with both hands and asked.

"Of course it's true. Can you joke about this?"

"Looking at your startled look, are you competent as Executive Vice Minister?" Old Bi snorted.

"Who says I can't, am I happy! From now on at home, just call me Minister Bi, and call my father Comrade Bi. Hahaha——" Bi Yuelian smiled triumphantly.Lao Bi and Wen Xingyun were speechless, thinking that if this was an organized investigation, it would be a mess immediately.

Old Bi coughed twice.Bi Yuelian stopped laughing, blushed, and then sat upright and said: "Thank you for the trust of the organization, thank you for the promotion of Mayor Lin, I promise to devote myself to the new job, and contribute to the propaganda work of Xiliang, please The organization and leaders supervise my words and deeds at work in the future."

"Well, I want to see your future actions. The first task I gave you before taking office is to learn how to make this sweet and sour fish. I will check it." Lin Tao said after taking another bite of sweet and sour fish.

"Ah, can you change the task?" Bi Yuelian said pitifully.

"There is no bargaining with the leader, you think it is a TV station!" Lao Bi knocked his daughter on the head with chopsticks across the table.

"I'll try my best—well, you guys are not forming a group to fool me!" Bi Yuelian looked at her husband suspiciously.It is true that the appointment at the wine table is somewhat informal.

Old Bi snorted: "The leader spits on you like a nail, is it necessary to fool you?"

Lin Tao said with a smile: "It sounds like Uncle Bi gave me the general, but I have to ask, Comrade Bi Yuelian, have you considered that you are going to quit the TV station and go to the Xiliang Propaganda Department. The Propaganda Department does not have a TV station." It's so beautiful. I'll give you two days to think about it, and then reply me."

"Mayor Lin doesn't have to think about it, I am very willing to go to the Xiliang Propaganda Department." Bi Yuelian said seriously.

"Well, that's good. I also fell in love with Yuelian's talent. After I get to the Propaganda Department, I can take charge of the TV station. Xiliang TV station is in urgent need of reform. Then you can know the work of the TV station."

"It's great. I was led by the station director before, and now I'm leading the station. See how I deal with those TV station guys." Bi Yuelian said eagerly.

"That's Xiliang TV Station, not Northwest TV Station, don't get me wrong." Wen Xingyun said with a smile.

"Hehe, I'm a little excited. I will fully implement Mayor Lin's intentions and make the TV station a success. Please rest assured." Bi Yuelian smiled like a flower, and was extremely satisfied with this position.In this way, it is convenient to live in Xiliang.

Lao Bi also looked satisfied, thought for a while and said: "This time I will fight my old bones, and I have to push Xingyun up. In another year, I will retire and come to Xiliang to retire. I usually raise flowers, play with birds, amuse my grandson, and take care of my life.”

"I thought you were talking about the little bird, teasing the puppy, where is the grandson?"

Lin Tao said with a smile: "Then you two have to work hard. Uncle Bi is already anxious."

"Yeah, I won't be the host anyway, and I don't have to be afraid of getting pregnant, it's just right to have a baby." Lao Bi nodded and said, Wen Xingyun also had the same expression.

"Why do I ask a hint of conspiracy? Didn't you play tricks on me, Dad? Or did you play tricks?" Bi Yuelian became suspicious of Lao Bi and her husband.

Old Bi sneered and said, "I don't know how many people want to jump into such a conspiracy trap, so you can be content with it. You two don't want to toast the leader properly."

The couple toasted, and Bi Yuelian said, "I've done it, the leader can do whatever he wants."

Bi Yuelian drank it down in one gulp.Old Bi said dissatisfiedly: "I'm going to the Propaganda Department in the future, but I have to change the free and undisciplined faults of your TV station. Friends at home, and superiors and subordinates at work. In terms of rights, Lin Tao is above me."

"Oh, Uncle Bi said that, so I'm out of touch. I make friends based on character, appoint comrades based on ability. Absolutely not bureaucratic." Lin Tao raised his glass and everyone clinked glasses again.

"The Provincial Party Committee attaches great importance to Xiliang's opinion regarding Dongchuan's personnel changes this time, and the governor also insists on the recommendation of your Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government." Lao Bi finally got to the point.

"Is the provincial party committee in agreement?" Lin Tao also pointed out.

"Oh, yes, Secretary Cui does have some opinions, but the governor is very courageous, and no one dares to object. I think the Standing Committee will attach great importance to the recommendation of the Xiliang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government." What Lao Bi meant was Xiliang's recommendation It is very important, with Xiliang's strong recommendation, Lao Bi can work for his son-in-law.

"I recognize Xingyun's ability very much. I believe that as long as I get used to it for a few months, I will soon be qualified for the role of mayor."

Wen Xingyun raised his glass and said, "If I can be the mayor, I will definitely not embarrass Brother Lin."

"I believe in you. Your opinion will still be indispensable for the planning and construction of Xiliang. After all, the integration of the five cities into one requires a major move. To be honest, I still regret recommending you. Why don't you put it by my side and help me with urban construction? The country's big projects are coming down one after another, and Xiliang's projects will be launched one after another, and some are busy." Lin Tao clinked glasses with Wen Xingyun.

Lao Bi quickly said: "Xingyun, I just went to Dongchuan, and I'm still your soldier. You can use it however you want!"

Lao Bi is still very worried about his daughter and son-in-law, especially not being smooth enough in the officialdom. Although Lin Tao is a friend, he is a real superior after all. How can he be bookish when talking to the leader?

"Any other big projects?" Bi Yuelian asked curiously.

"There are many big projects, such as five-city high-speed train projects, large-scale nuclear power plant projects, national physical, chemical, and bioelectronic laboratories. University town construction, five-city agricultural projects, etc."

"Wow, the nuclear power plant and the national laboratory are amazing. I think Xiliang City will completely surpass the provincial capital in two years. By then, the provincial government will not move to Xiliang!" Bi Yuelian said in surprise.Lao Bi also frowned, thinking to himself, the country's action is too big!It's unreasonable!

Lin Tao smiled meaningfully: "Xiliang has a lot to offer, you two should work hard!"

"Brother Lin, can you reveal a little more." Bi Yuelian was curious.

"As I said, you can't publicize it to the outside world. The Xiliang country plans to develop into a municipality directly under the Central Government, but it depends on the speed of Xiliang's development."

Several people were dumbfounded. As a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Lao Bi didn't know the news.It is really a blessing for the daughter and son-in-law to have Lin Tao as a friend.

"Wow, isn't brother Lin sitting on an equal footing with the governor, really awesome!" Bi Yuelian raised her thumb.

"What kind of tone are you talking about? I don't think the Propaganda Department will embarrass me. How can you look like a leader!" Lao Bi said very dissatisfied.

"Now, aren't you the leader!" Bi Yuelian muttered.

"However, if you want to become a municipality directly under the central government, you can't do it in a short time. It will take at least five years. Let's work hard together!" Lin Tao raised his glass again.Bi's father and daughter and Wen Xingyun were very excited.Lao Bi secretly thanked Lin Tao for his arrangements for his daughter.

"As for Yuelian's arrangement, I think it will be after Xingyun's incident!" Lao Bi asked Lin Tao for his opinion.

"Within a week, both of them will be resolved. Time waits for no one. Not only is Dongchuan urgent, but Xiliang TV station reform is also urgent. The old director is ill. Yue Lian used to mainly host the work of the TV station, holding the title of executive vice minister. If it is done well, it will be regarded as Yue Lian's great achievement."

"It's great to also serve as the director of the station. Brother Lin, don't worry, I will definitely create a world-class TV station." Bi Yuelian said excitedly.

"Comrade Yuelian, I am very optimistic about you and work hard. My goal is not to be world-class, but to be super-class. There is no best, only better." Lin Tao laughed.

"Scholars die for their confidantes! Do it!" Bi Yuelian drank it proudly, making Lao Bi and her husband laugh.

Lao Bi said worriedly: "Reforming the TV station is not a child's play, let alone acting with loyalty—"

"Old Comrade Bi, I am a pillar of the provincial station, a news anchor, deputy editor-in-chief, and I am studying for a doctorate in international media. You underestimate me too."

"That's right, you need to have this courage!" Lin Tao said with a smile.

Bi Yuelian and his wife can be regarded as the team they cultivated by themselves. They are a hero and three gangs. Although Lin Tao did not deliberately cultivate the team, Lin Tao's courage and ability made his subordinates submit. The government orders are very smooth in Xiliang, and no one dares to obey them Yang violates.
