Powerful and romantic

"Secretary, you think too highly of me." Xu Junran looked at Zhu Zecheng on the opposite side with his usual expression, and shook his head slightly.

He is not the kind of three-year-old kid, how could he confide in Zhu Zecheng just because of a few words.Even though Zhu Zecheng has been helping him recently, in Xu Junran's eyes, he is still not someone he can confide in.

In the officialdom, don't trust anyone easily, because anyone may stab you in the back.

Zhu Zecheng chuckled and said nothing.

At noon, the heads of several departments in the county entertained guests for dinner. Some were run by the county party committee, and some were run by various bureaus. Yang Guang and Ye Youdao helped to bridge the gap, and since Xu Junran didn't get into any trouble, , so with his age and education background, his future can be said to be limitless.Especially because of the relationship between Zhu Zecheng and Gu Huan, the two leaders of the county party committee with real power, so compared with the two township chiefs and party secretary in Changqing Township who are about to collapse, Xu Junran's current situation is definitely a world of difference. There are too many things in the officialdom to seek good luck and avoid bad luck. Whether it is the heads of the township or the many leaders of the county, they are all trying to make friends with Xu Junran now.

For this kind of thing, Xu Junran does not refuse anyone who comes. What he lacks in Fule County is all kinds of relationships. Although these people are good at icing on the cake, Xu Junran also knows that in the officialdom, it is impossible to ask everyone around him. He still understands the truth that for a capable and ethical cadre, when the water is clear, there will be no fish.

"By the way, Director Zhou of the Coal Bureau asked someone to tell me a few days ago that he wanted to invite Secretary Xu to dinner."

After the banquet was over, Yang Guang walked side by side with Xu Junran on the street, and suddenly said to Xu Junran.

"From the Coal Bureau?" Xu Junran asked in surprise after being stunned for a moment, "Why did the Coal Bureau Chief invite me to dinner?"

He was very surprised, he seemed to have nothing to do with the Coal Bureau, and it felt awkward to be invited to dinner by the director.

Yang Guang said in a low voice: "This Director Zhou is not simple, and he has a lot of influence in the county. If you have time, Secretary Xu, you might as well meet him."

Xu Junran didn't say anything, but he paid attention to Director Zhou in his heart. Since Yang Guang could say that, it seemed that this was Director Zhou of the Coal Bureau.The influence in Fule County should be considerable.

Cui Xiuying was called back home.The person Huang Hai came to pick up in person also treated Xu Junran very respectfully. He is indeed the director of the Changqing Township Government Office.But no matter what, Xu Junran was considered his leader, even though he was a little dissatisfied with the relationship between Cui Xiuying and Xu Junran, he couldn't say anything.

Xu Junran ate dinner with Zhang Fei. Since the incident at the machinery factory, Zhang Fei simply came to find Xu Junran if he had nothing to do. Anyway, he was just an intern in the criminal police team, and most people didn’t dare to take care of him, so He is quite free.

"Xiao Fei, do you have time to check someone for me?" During the meal, Xu Junran said to Zhang Fei who was gnawing on his bone.

Zhang Fei put down the ribs in his hand, wiped his mouth and said, "Who are you looking for?"

Xu Junran smiled: "Zhou Mingqiao, Director of the Coal Bureau."

Zhang Fei was stunned: "Why do you check him? Does he have a problem?"

Xu Junran waved his hand: "Just to get to know this person, he wanted to invite me to dinner, but I didn't go. But I always feel that it's a bit strange."

It's a gut feeling.Xu Junran believed that as the head of the Fule County Coal Bureau, Zhou Mingqiao could not have been unaware of Hu Dahai and others' small actions in Changqing Township. Except for Hu Dahai.There are others who are responsible for this.It's an exaggeration to say that everything is very clear now, that is, Hu Dahai illegally exploited the state-owned coal mines without permission, and colluded with An Weiming to withhold the funds from Houtun Village.

To put it bluntly, the evidence was too obvious, as if it was lying there waiting for someone to discover it.

Xu Junran knew that the minimum requirement for serving as an official was to benefit one party.But now it seems that some people in Fule County are not thinking about how to benefit one party, but are thinking about how to get rich and bulge their pockets.

After hearing Xu Junran's words, Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Okay, I know how to check. Don't worry, I will give you accurate information within three days."

It was said to be three days, but in the afternoon of the second day, Zhang Fei came to find him. According to his description to Xu Junran, Xu Junran had a preliminary understanding of the situation in Fule County.

It has to be said that the political situation in Fule County is very strange. To put it bluntly, Xu Junran doubts what the two leaders of the party and government, Qi Santai or Wang Changlin, have been doing all these years.No matter whether it is the county magistrate or the secretary of the county party committee, no one can take the initiative in the standing committee of the county party committee. It is you scrambling and blaming each other.

As for the office meeting of the secretary, it is similar to the situation of the standing committee. Each deputy secretary has his own group of people and has his own influence in the county. It can be said that the cadre structure in Fule County is in chaos. The situation in Changqing Township will not happen again.

But this Zhou Mingqiao is a very famous existence in Fule County.

Zhou Mingqiao is 65 years old this year. In order not to leave his position as the director of coal, he actually asked someone to change his age three times, and changed his age by 15 years in total. The most ridiculous thing is that Zhou Mingqiao is on the household registration He was only nine years older than his own daughter, that is to say, Director Zhou became a father at the age of nine. This is a well-known joke in Fule County.Not only that, this Director Zhou is also a well-known big shot in the county, and even the leaders of several factories can talk to him. On weekdays, even the leaders in the county have to be polite to him.

Not only that, there are several state-owned coal mines in Fule County that allow private contracting, claiming to be a pilot project of reform and opening up, but in fact, these small coal mines are contracted by relatives of Zhou Mingqiao's family, that is to say, Zhou Mingqiao's so-called The reform and opening up pilot program is actually to transform the coal mines that were originally mined by the state into coal mines contracted by himself. The most important thing is that the cost of contracting coal mines is extremely low in terms of price, which means that Zhou Mingqiao regards state-owned assets as a tool for himself to make a fortune .

Xu Junran knew that this Zhou Mingqiao could be so arrogant and lawless, it must not be a cheap lamp.Zhang Fei told Xu Junran clearly that when he was investigating Zhou Mingqiao, especially when investigating the coal mine, his acquaintances from the Public Security Bureau warned him not to provoke Zhou Mingqiao.The other party might have given Zhang Fei a verbal warning because of Zhang Fei's background, but the meaning was already obvious, and he just didn't want Zhang Fei to provoke Zhou Mingqiao.

"It's interesting." Xu Junran muttered to himself, "A coal bureau chief who can influence the county party committee."

In all fairness, Xu Junran didn't pay much attention to Zhou Mingqiao at first, but because he had too much experience in political struggles, he was curious about this special status of the coal bureau chief, so he asked Zhang Fei to inquire about it, but he didn't expect it to be Zhou Mingqiao. Big fish, so many things involved.

"Brother Xu, do you want me to find someone to touch him?" Zhang Fei said to Xu Junran. The relationship between him and Xu Junran is getting better and better. The most important thing is that because of the bridge of Li Yifeng, the two of them are equal to each other. A common brother, so there was no kind of politeness at that time, and there was always something to say.

Xu Junran shook his head: "Don't act rashly, things at the machinery factory have just calmed down, so don't cause trouble."

He knew that Zhang Fei's so-called method was naturally to go to the provincial capital to find reinforcements, but Xu Junran didn't think that the family behind Zhang Fei would randomly recruit a coal bureau chief who could influence Fule County because of his friendship with him. There are no trivial matters in the public affairs, even if the secretary of the municipal party committee wants to touch someone, he must have a plausible excuse.The so-called things that are said in TV dramas and novels that are so easy to beat people to the end are basically just jokes.

China's cadre system is like this. Unless there is full evidence, a cadre's position cannot be easily moved.Those cadres who were promoted "with illnesses" were, in the final analysis, because although they were criticized, there was still no evidence in fact.

Zhang Fei nodded helplessly. Although he was a little impatient, he obeyed Xu Junran very much. This may be because Li Yifeng kept telling him how smart Xu Junran was when he was in the army, which made Zhang Fei subconsciously face Xu Junran. There is also a strong sense of trust.

"You go back first, don't investigate this matter any more." Xu Junran said with a smile to Zhang Fei: "I have a hunch that Director Zhou will deal with me sooner or later."

Xu Junran's premonition was not wrong, it's just that he didn't deal with Zhou Mingqiao, but someone came to him.

Huaxia is a place that cares about human relations, and the same is true for official affairs. Often, one person has a good relationship with another person, and the third person has a very good relationship with one of them. That's great, but there are also people who can speak in the middle.It's like the middle-aged man sitting opposite Xu Junran at this time, Xu Junran is not familiar with him, he only knows that this man is the office director of the Coal Bureau, and also Xie Meijuan's high school classmate.

"Feng Jun, I brought you someone. If you have anything to say, just say it." Xie Meijuan sat beside Xu Junran and said to the man with a smile.

After finishing speaking, she said to Xu Junran meaningfully: "Junran, sister, I'm a middleman, if you have anything to say about you, don't pay attention to me."

After hearing these words, Xu Junran raised his eyebrows and his face became serious.
