Powerful and romantic

"Jun Ran, why are you bothering..."

Xie Meijuan looked at Xu Junran, and couldn't help persuading her: "If this matter can be turned around a little bit, it's okay."

Xu Junran shook his head: "Sister Meijuan, sometimes people can't turn their heads back. Zhou Mingqiao and I have never met, and we have no history of dating, yet he is willing to give me such a large amount of money. What is he trying to do? Don't talk about making friends with me. If it's like that, I, Xu Junran, know myself well, and the current me is not worth his money."

Xie Meijuan smiled wryly. She knew what Xu Junran was thinking, and she didn't want to have too much to do with this local snake. But Xie Meijuan, who was very familiar with the situation in Fule County, also knew that if Xu Junran wanted to make achievements in Fule County , it is necessary to deal with people like Zhou Mingqiao.

"Jun Ran, you..." Xie Meijuan hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "Don't you know? County Magistrate Wang and Zhou Mingqiao have a very good friendship, and if you offend Zhou Mingqiao, you..."

Xu Junran frowned. He didn't expect Zhou Mingqiao to belong to Wang Changlin, but after thinking about it, Xu Junran laughed. He had already offended Wang Changlin in the machinery factory last time. , now Xu Junran doesn't care if he will offend the county magistrate.

"Sister Juan, don't worry, it's nothing serious." Thinking of this, Xu Junran gave Xie Meijuan a reassuring expression, and said with a smile.

Seeing that Xu Junran was so stubborn, Xie Meijuan could only sigh helplessly.

"Did you eat? If you haven't eaten, I'll treat you." Xu Junran said to Xie Meijuan.

Xie Meijuan gave him a sideways glance: "Fang Jun dragged you here just after get off work, so I don't care about eating."

After looking at the place where Xu Junran lived, Xie Meijuan continued, "It's not a problem for you to always live in a hostel. Otherwise, I'll help you find a house. If you rent a house in the county, you'll have a place to settle down." how about it?"

Xu Junran thought about it.I think what Xie Meijuan said is very reasonable. I will definitely stay in Fule County for a few years, and it is really not an option to live in a hostel all the time. Not to mention the crowds, Xu Junran himself does not like such an environment.Now there is no way.Otherwise, he would have gone out to buy a house long ago.

After thinking about it, Xu Junran nodded: "Well, I won't be polite to you, sister."

Xie Meijuan is 31 years old.She is seven years older than Xu Junran, so it is not too much for Xu Junran to call her elder sister.The most important thing is that Xie Meijuan is Zhu Zecheng's cousin. Xu Junran also hopes to send a signal of goodwill to Zhu Zecheng through this method. After all, he can see that Zhu Zecheng is good to him, and the reason for this is because Zhu Zecheng values ​​​​his back background, not the person himself.

Xu Junran knew.Once I am really promoted to the official level, I will definitely be in charge of the party. At that time, there is a high probability that I will take over the position of one of Wang Xianglin or Ma Jubao. That is to say, Xu Junran will not be The head of the township is the secretary of the township party committee, regardless of which of the two positions he holds.He has to face a very serious problem, that is, he may not be able to command those leaders in the township. To put it bluntly, he may have the name of a leader, but he can't lead anyone.

Officialdom is a place where relationships and seniority are discussed.Xu Junran's foundation in Changqing Township is completely blank, not to mention his confidantes, even if he is a cadre who is close to him, there are not many people.At that time, even if Xu Junran wants to use others to establish his prestige, he will face a very helpless situation, that is, once the appointment and dismissal of cadres and personnel in the township are involved, it must be discussed by the township party committee and the county committee, and the final decision will be in the In the hands of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee.Although the cadres in Changqing Township were nominally Xu Junran's subordinates, Xu Junran only had the right to make suggestions and nominations for the appointment and dismissal of those people, and the county had to make the final decision.

If possible, Xu Junran didn't want his relationship with the leaders of the county to become too tense, but he also knew that there was no room for buffering in the officialdom, either on Qi Santai's side or on Wang Changlin's side , it is definitely not enough to please both sides.Although this problem is not obvious now, it will become more and more prominent as I slowly take root in Fule County. After all, if I become a department-level cadre, it will definitely involve the issue of standing in line.

The difference from the time in Wude County was that Xu Junran had good personal friendship with Yan Wangsong and Yang Weitian at that time, which made Xu Junran never make mistakes or offend anyone no matter what he chose.But now, Xu Junran can only choose one side.In other words, another person must be offended.

"You, I will find a good place later, and you will move there." Xie Meijuan said with a smile.

Xu Junran was interrupted by her words, nodded slightly, and the two of them left the county party committee guest house where Xu Junran lived, and came to a small restaurant not far away.

With the in-depth development of reform and opening up, such privately run restaurants have gradually appeared in the north. Although most of them are still at the level of the snack department, Xu Junran knows that it will not take a few years until the early 90s. This will be the case everywhere in China, and people pay more and more attention to economic benefits.What follows is that everyone has more and more money in their hands, and in the end the market economy will become the real mainstream.

"There are more and more people setting up stalls on this street now." Xie Meijuan ordered two dishes and said to Xu Junran.

"Setting up a small stall is better than being a county magistrate; once the horn sounds, you won't be the governor." Xu Junran smiled and said this proverb widely circulated in the capital, and said to Xie Meijuan: "Sister Xie, you should know that our country is poor After so many years, the common people have long been afraid of being poor. Now that the policies above have finally changed to encourage the development of individual and private businesses, it’s no wonder that the masses are not desperately trying to grab money.”

Xie Meijuan nodded approvingly, what Xu Junran said made sense, the human heart is like this, the more lacking something, the stronger the desire for something.For more than 30 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Huaxia has always been in a period of extreme material scarcity. To put it bluntly, it is poor.

And the poor and frightened Chinese people suddenly realized that there was an opportunity in front of them, an opportunity that could make them climb out of poverty, and naturally they would not let it go easily.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there is such a boom in doing business in China today.

"By the way, the county is already discussing the candidate for the new head of Changqing Township." Xie Meijuan suddenly whispered to Xu Junran.

Xu Junran was taken aback: "So fast?"

He really didn't expect it to be so fast. Originally, Xu Junran thought that Hu Dahai's case would definitely drag on for a while, and Zhu Zecheng also said that it would take years to make a decision.

Xie Meijuan nodded: "Last night, Wang Xianglin personally confessed to the County Commission for Discipline Inspection that he colluded with Hu Dahai to mine the Hongxing Coal Mine without permission."

After a pause, she said mysteriously: "The Standing Committee was held in the morning. It seems that there is going to be a big movement in the county."

Xu Junran's expression was very serious. He finally understood why Xie Meijuan would persuade him not to offend Zhou Mingqiao. After all, Xie Meijuan meant that she didn't want to offend the county magistrate Wang Changlin because of this incident, which would affect her career in Changqing Township. promoted.

"Sister Meijuan, which one do you think is more trustworthy, County Magistrate Wang or Secretary Qi?" Xu Junran suddenly asked Xie Meijuan.

Xie Meijuan was stunned for a moment, but subconsciously replied: "Of course it's Secretary Qi."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she understood what Xu Junran meant, and asked incredulously, "You mean that Secretary Qi will support you?"

Xu Junran shook his head: "I don't know what Secretary Qi will do, but I believe in his integrity as a party member. Don't forget, I have been in office for at least a month, and sometimes many things don't have to be said in person. Come out, you can also hear and see."

I have to say that Xu Junran did not expect Qi Santai to be such a person. During the time he lived in the county party committee guest house, Xu Junran ate out every day, and naturally learned a lot about the situation in Fule County. I must admit that Jinbei The silver cup is not as good as the reputation of the common people. Sometimes no matter how brilliant an official's achievements are and how kind his attitude is, in the eyes of the common people, any filthy things will be invisible.

Compared with Wang Changlin, who is now a well-known reform pacesetter in the county and city, Qi Santai was originally a representative of the old-school cadres in Xu Junran's heart. Some headstrong, like to use previous experience to judge things.And the facts he learned are indeed the same. Qi Santai is the kind of very old-fashioned official who firmly believes that the policies of the central government should be unconditionally supported. In his words, what he understands must be implemented, and what he does not understand must be implemented. It can't be wrong, what's wrong is only the lack of understanding and execution ability of the cadres below.

However, such a person has a very strict personal style. During the holidays, Qi Santai always closes the door of his house, and no one is allowed to enter, even if it is a cadre who is single-handedly promoted. Entering his house during the Spring Festival is also a fool's dream.In addition, whenever there are important personnel appointments and cadres need to be adjusted, he simply doesn't go home and lives in the secretary's office, without giving anyone a chance to intercede, even when talking to the cadres. , It also ensures that at least two or more cadres are present at the same time, and no one is given a chance to show affection.

Compared with Wang Changlin who advocated reform on the surface but actually played tricks in front of certain interests, Xu Junran felt that Qi Santai, a stubborn old man, was actually quite cute.
