Powerful and romantic

Xu Junran has always wondered why Bai Lin was so secretive about the demolition. Now it seems that not only Bai Lin knows about this matter, but Duan Shijie is also aware of it. It's just that Duan Shijie seems a little unhappy about what Duan Shijie means.

Thinking of this, he thought for a while and said: "When the county committee discussed the plan at the beginning, I didn't agree with it. The model project has no real benefits for the common people, but brings troubles to their lives. More importantly, the common people There is no money to build a house, and many people feel that they have enough to live and eat, and they are unwilling to bear so much debt for building a house. Secretary Bai criticized me for not having a long-term vision, so I had to obey the majority.”

"You! The principles that should be adhered to in the future must be adhered to, and no compromises can be made. I was also responsible for the decision-making on this matter, and I did not intervene in this matter. To tell you the truth, the municipal party committee recently received a forwarding from the provincial party committee. Several letters from the people in Incheon County have great opinions on the construction of model houses, saying that they are not willing at all, and that the governments at the county and township levels forced them to do it. Look at how many people are involved in a major decision-making mistake The fate of a person? Moreover, it is obviously a personal fault, but it has to be borne by the collective. On the government side, you must be bold and responsible in the future. You must adhere to the principles you should uphold and never give up. It doesn’t matter if there are differences. The municipal committee can come forward to resolve them. , What are you afraid of? What you are most afraid of is harmony and a single voice."

Duan Shijie's words immediately made Xu Junran stunned. It turned out that the city felt the pressure, and the provincial party committee forwarded it. It must be that some big boss in the province knew about it. Duan Shijie took the responsibility of the province. , naturally he had to remove himself from the matter. As for Bai Lin's problem, Duan Shijie's mud bodhisattva could not protect himself when he crossed the river.How can I care about Bai Lin.

Xu Junran listened, feeling that his confidence was slowly gaining strength, he couldn't help but nodded to Duan Shijie, and said: "With the secretary's support, I will definitely persist if I have to persist."

The two chatted for a while, Xu Junran bid farewell to Duan Shijie and came out of the municipal committee compound, feeling warm in his heart. He never thought that the Danjiang City team looked like a calm lake on the surface.But beneath this tranquility, there are invisible turbulent waves flowing.Everyone hides on the surface, but deep down in their hearts, they all have their own secrets.He knew that Duan Shijie encouraged him so much.He just wanted to pull him over from Bei Chaoqun, form a united front with himself, and completely isolate Bei Chaoqun.After all, if he is even pulled over, Bei Chaoqun will definitely lose points in front of the leaders of the provincial party committee, especially Fang Zhongyuan, so it seems.This conversation not only solved the trick for him, but also brought him closer to Duan Shijie, which Xu Junran did not expect.

Back in Incheon County, Xu Junran was in a much better mood than before.He has clearly felt that the storm is about to come, and the peak duel between Secretary Duan and Mayor Bei has begun. As for who will win the game, it is still unclear. Whether he can benefit from this power game Hard to say.But at least one thing he is sure of, he will become the object of contention between the two sides.He can decide his own direction while watching the fire from the other side.

Xu Junran was relieved here, but Ma Wanli and his wife were even more worried, because Xu Junran hadn't seen Ma Wanli during this time, which exhausted Ma Wanli physically and mentally, but he didn't dare to go to Xu Junran, so he had to discuss with his wife and go Find my old leader, the former county magistrate Du Zhong.

Du Zhong is now working at the Municipal People's Congress. He had dinner that day and was watching the news when he suddenly received a call from Ma Wanli, saying that he wanted to come to his house for a sit down.He could sense from Ma Wanli's tone that he seemed to be in some trouble.Smiling, Du Zhong said, "Okay, come here."

Putting down the phone, Du Zhong unconsciously thought of many benefits of this old subordinate.From the commune to the county seat, Ma Wanli has always been his subordinate, working diligently and hardworking, and his personal ability is also very strong.Later, I was transferred to the county to be a member of the Standing Committee, and Ma Wanli was also transferred here, from deputy section chief to section chief, and then from section chief to deputy bureau chief. He was originally going to be promoted to bureau chief. It can be said that Ma Wanli has come all the way. , are inseparable from his care.And Ma Wanli and his wife can be regarded as caring people. They can't forget to bring good cigarettes and wine to visit Du Zhong during the holidays. Du Zhong doesn't care about the amount of gifts, but the emotion.Usually his wife didn't bother to tell him about any minor matters in his family, so she just called Ma Wanli and it was resolved.Because of this, he once complained to his wife, saying that she should not trouble others easily, and Ma Wanli also had his own affairs.But the wife said, it sounds good to say, I can't count on you, who else can I call if I don't call him and his wife?In his wife's heart, they have long regarded the couple as their own family.Ordinarily, he is a dignified director of the Municipal People's Congress. Although he is about to retreat to the second line, it is no problem for Ma Wanli to be the director of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau after the spin-off, but his competitor is none other than Bai Lin's boss. As a good friend, this made Du Zhong feel very troublesome, so he had to make a plan to let him go to Xu Junran.

In fact, there is no permanent advantage or disadvantage in the officialdom, everything is constantly changing, just like when Xu Junran talked with Liu Qiang in the morning, he knew that Ma Wanli had no hope, after a long talk with Duan Shijie in the afternoon , and felt that Ma Wanli had the possibility of winning.The reason is actually very simple. If Duan Shijie and Bei Chaoqun had no conflicts, Xu Junran would naturally let Bai Lin, the head of the county party committee, take a step forward in this matter, or he would take care of Bai Lin's face, but Duan Shijie, Bai Lin's backer, regarded Xu Junran as a power game As long as he hints to Duan Shijie that he wants to control the power of public opinion in his own hands, Duan Shijie will definitely weigh the pros and cons, and maybe he will make a decision not to help each other Come on, at that time, Xu Junran can use his influence in Incheon County to push Ma Wanli to the position of director.

Naturally, Ma Wanli didn't know this. He was walking into Du Zhong's house with his wife Feng Juan carrying things.Every time they come to Du's house, they always carry a few things in large and small bags, sometimes fresh fruits, sometimes tonics, and sometimes a few cosmetics.They came to him as if they were visiting relatives.After entering the house, there is no need for Du Zhong's wife to entertain her. Ma Wanli's daughter-in-law is like a half master.He always took the initiative to make tea for everyone, and called Eucommia's daughter-in-law one by one, making her so happy.

Du Zhong glanced at them, and then made fun of Feng Juan: "You call our sister Lao Tian, ​​you should call me brother-in-law."

Feng Juan said with a chuckle, "It's indecent to call brother-in-law, if you want to call me brother."

Du Zhong laughed and said, "Then you call out, and I'll listen."

Feng Juan yelled, "Brother!"

Everyone laughed for a while, Du Zhong responded with a smile, and Feng Juan laughed and said: "No, no, no. If you are not used to it, it is better to call the leader."

Du Zhong saw that Ma Wanli was a little listless, and knew that he was busy, so he said, "Okay, you two women are watching TV. Wanli, come with me to the study."

The two entered the study one after the other, and Du Zhong asked Ma Wanli, "Tell me, what happened to you?"

Ma Wanli gave Xu Junran a gift by himself, and was called by Xu Junran to return the gift. He also explained the criticism, and finally said with a wry smile: "It's been almost a week. There is no news yet, look at it." There is already a new candidate for County Magistrate Xu."

Du Zhong frowned: "How much did you send?"

Ma Wanli hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "1 yuan. I plan to give another [-] yuan later."

Du Zhong's heart skipped a beat, thinking of you boy.I have done so many things for you, but you have never given me 3 yuan to reward me. In order to get the position of director general, you actually gave away so much to others?but.Then again, even if he gave himself 1 yuan.Can you accept it yourself?Three years ago, he managed to get Ma Wanli the position of the deputy director. Ma Wanli sent a 3 yuan red envelope to thank him, but he refused in person.It's not that he doesn't need money, nor does he not love money, he always feels that their friendship has already surpassed the concept of money.Although the relationship between him and Ma Wanli is not measured and maintained by money, can the relationship between Ma Wanli and others work without money?It is difficult for him to answer this question. The social reality is like this, and Ma Wanli cannot be blamed for this. [-] yuan, this figure is neither too much nor too little, it seems that Ma Wanli is really going all out.

Seeing that he was silent, Ma Wanli couldn't figure out what Du Zhong was thinking, so he said timidly: "I really want to be the chief of the bureau. If I don't have a chance, I'll be fine. Now Zhang Min is involved in lawsuits, and Qin Shou has betrayed county magistrate Xu." , I happened to have this opportunity, so I did it, I don't know if it will cause any trouble."

Du Zhong was taken aback: "Tell me what's going on."

After Ma Wanli told Du Zhong all the recent events in the county, the expression on Du Zhong's face became more and more strange.

At his level, he saw things more thoroughly than Ma Wanli, and he vaguely felt that there should be a turning point for this.

Ma Wanli said helplessly: "Tell me, why did Xu Junran refuse, or did he think the money was too small?"

Du Zhong said: "I'm also thinking, I don't know if the county magistrate Xu really refused or pretended to refuse."

"Now I'm not sure. Judging from the way he spoke to me, he really rejected me. In terms of the refund time, I wonder if there are people who gave more than me, so he had to refund Mine, because the money has been with him for several days." Ma Wanli thought for a while and said.

Du Zhong shook his head lightly, but he had already come to a conclusion in his heart. If it was really what Ma Wanli said before, I am afraid that Xu Junran's refund of the money should be true. In connection with a certain rumor he had heard, he I couldn't help showing a smile: "You, you are so confused!"

Ma Wanli was stunned and speechless: "What's the matter, old leader, I shouldn't send it?"

"It's not that you shouldn't give it away, it's that the timing is wrong." Du Zhong said slowly, "If Qin Shou hadn't joined Bai Lin before, there would be no problem with you giving it away, but now that you're giving it away, it's tantamount to creating a problem for County Mayor Xu." , after all, if he accepts your money, it means that he has received benefits before doing things for you, so he can only return the money to you. "

Ma Wanli was confused all of a sudden: "Well, what's going on here!"

Du Zhong looked at Ma Wanli's pitiful appearance, how could he look like a majestic leader of the bureau?Perhaps this is the multiplicity of human beings. In front of him, he is a beggar, and he must be obedient. In the Bureau of Radio and Television, he has become a giver, and he must be arrogant.The environment is different.The roles played are also different.Looking at Ma Wanli at this moment, Du Zhong couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic, so he comforted him and said, "It's not that bad, don't think about it."

"When the time comes, I have to ask you... to say something nice to me." Ma Wanli looked at Du Zhong pitifully and said.

"Don't worry, I will definitely speak for you when I have the chance." Du Zhong said with a smile.

Only then did Ma Wanli's face look happy, and he nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, I'm relieved."

Shaking his head helplessly, Du Zhong got up and said, "Let's go. Let's eat."

He didn't tell Ma Wanli that the chances of him being able to speak up were actually not great. After all, he was just a veteran cadre who had retired to the second line. How could he have such a big face in front of people like Xu Junran.not to mention.Du Zhong vaguely heard that Xu Junran had a background in the provincial capital.

However, Du Zhong felt that Xu Junran should still prefer Ma Wanli to be the director of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television. After all, propaganda work is a position that no leader is willing to give up.Xu Junran doesn't have anyone available right now, so Ma Wanli is a good choice.It's just that Ma Wanli didn't choose the right time to give the gift, so Xu Junran hesitated.

He actually guessed right.That's what Xu Junran is thinking in his heart now.I don't have many manpower available in Incheon County. Since Qin Shou dared to choose to lean on Bai Lin, Xu Junran would not let him take the position of Director of Radio, Film and Television Bureau no matter what, so although he felt that Ma Wanli was a bit unreliable.But Xu Junran still chose to support him.

Through these several reports to the municipal party committee and the municipal government, Xu Junran had already made up his mind. He felt that the result of the confrontation between Duan Shijie and Bei Chaoqun must be one.Keep one.If Bei Chaoqun forced Duan Shijie away in the future, would Bei Chaoqun continue to make Bai Lin the secretary of the county party committee?Certainly not.on the other hand.Even if Duan Shijie forced Bei Chaoqun away, wouldn't Bai Lin's chance of promotion come again by then?If Bei Chaoqun was transferred away, there would definitely be a reshuffle of power in the city. Obviously, Bai Lin would not be reconciled to being the secretary of the Incheon County Party Committee. He would definitely find a way to get into the city, at least as a deputy department leader.In this way, won't the seat still be vacant?

Therefore, Xu Junran had a new idea about the candidate for the director of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television.

After making a phone call to the province, Xu Junran politely greeted **, Deputy Director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee.

"Minister Zheng, hello." Xu Junran said with a smile.

"Hehe, I said county magistrate Xu, don't slap me in the face. If the old leader knows, he won't be skinning me."

** smiled and said to Xu Junran that he was originally Chen Xingrui's office director. Although Chen Xingrui took Zhang Zhongjian away before he was promoted, he also promoted ** from a department-level cadre to a department-level cadre.

Xu Junran nodded and said, "Then I'll make a long story short, Brother Zheng, is there anyone in your Propaganda Department who wants to come down to take part in training recently?"

"Huh?" ** was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Exercise? Why, are you short of people?"

How can someone who can discuss life in the provincial party committee be an idiot?

Xu Junran smiled slightly, talked about the matter of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, and finally said with a smile: "I am short of a director of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television at the professional level. Brother Zheng, you should consider it."

** said with a smile: "Don't worry, within three days, I guarantee it will be resolved."

Three days later, at the office meeting of the secretary, the head of the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee proposed that a group of temporary cadres from the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee would come to Incheon County.In Incheon County, Xu Junran decisively proposed that Qin Shou could be the Director of the Sports Bureau, and Ma Wanli would be promoted to the Executive Deputy Director, with a regular salary.

This suggestion was supported by Liu Qiang, Wang Meng and others, and passed at the meeting.

This is the case in officialdom. To manage power well, you must first play with good people. Power tricks are playing with people.Xu Junran felt that Duan Shijie was not simple, and Duan Shijie and Bei Chaoqun were also not simple. On the surface, they were polite and respectful to each other, but they each had their own wishful thinking in private.People who have reached this level, there is no fool, one is better than the other.

Generally speaking, personnel arrangements must be held in the secretary's office meeting in advance, and after a general framework is determined, it is then submitted to the county party committee for collective discussion. Once voted on, it becomes the county party committee's decision. It's not easy to change.Xu Junran is well versed in the rules. The so-called Standing Committee is nothing more than a formality. Everyone knows that the top leaders in important positions are either the secretary's capable generals, or the county magistrate's cronies, and even the second and third leaders of various ministries and bureaus. They also have backgrounds. If the candidate has no major problems and is on the Standing Committee, the Standing Committee members will not casually raise their opinions.

In the past, Ma Wanli was able to keep his regular-level salary and be a deputy director, which was already pretty good, but Xu Junran felt that he could still be used.Having said that, if you reach out and don't hit the smiling person, which level of leadership has not met someone who gave him a gift?Everyone has encountered it. Whether to give it or not is someone else's business, and whether to receive it is your business. If you show off how honest you are by giving gifts, you must be praised on the surface and ridiculed behind your back. Said that you do not hesitate to step on others in order to become famous.Leaders are unwilling to show their subordinates to the public, let alone be anti-corruption heroes.If you become an anti-corruption hero, maybe the higher-ups will praise you, and the lower-level people will learn from you deeply, but no matter whether it is the upper-level or lower-level people, not only do they not respect you, but they will despise you in their hearts, thinking that you have destroyed the potential of officialdom in order to become famous. Rules are a complete speculator.
