Provincial Party Committee

Chapter 4

The other party softened his tone slightly, and said: "That's no need, we've accepted your wish, please go back, the minister is not at home, if you have any questions, go to the office to talk!" After finishing speaking, before you can speak, he hung up the phone with a snap up.Wang Zhong said: "You said that I am in my 40s, and I am like a grandson. I deliver gifts to people's doors, but I am not even allowed to enter the door, and I have such a closed door. Do you think I can feel better! Why do those Beijing officials look down on us Xijiang people like this!"

Gao Tianmin looked at his subordinates, and when he talked about his sadness, a five-foot-tall man with tears rolling in his eyes also stood up excitedly from his boss chair, with his hands behind his back, circling around in the office Said: "Xiao Wang, I understand your hard work, it is not easy, it is simply too difficult! Especially in the past few years, it has been the most difficult year for your Beijing Office to carry out work. The general environment is such that it is difficult to change in the short term. Ah! We can only blame our previous leaders, especially Secretary Xie Qingsong and Governor Qian Minggui of our province. One of them was imprisoned and sentenced to 20 years in prison; the other was executed. , became one of the few provincial and ministerial-level senior officials who were executed since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Their corrupt behavior has seriously damaged the image of the party among the people, and also caused immeasurable losses to the overall image of our Xijiang Province. I heard that two years ago, when Xie Qingsong and Qian Minggui were first arrested, Beijing officials were extremely nervous as soon as they heard that it was officials from our Xijiang Province who were going to report to the office. They quickly opened the door of the office , speak loudly on purpose, or call out to someone, and record it by the side, for fear that others will say that he met with the cadres of Xijiang Province, and received some benefits in private. This made our Xijiang Province notorious in the capital. Our provincial party committee, The leaders of the provincial government set up a banquet in the capital. It is very difficult to invite a minister or deputy minister to have a meal, talk about business affairs, and accommodate feelings. It seems that this person is more likely to make trouble, and less to give charcoal in the snow ah!"

In Gao Tianmin's impression, Wang Yiming was one of the few people who gave help to Xijiang Province in a timely manner.Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, Wang Yiming went to Xijiang Province to serve as the deputy secretary.It seems that this is a no trivial matter.

Gao Tianmin read the document over and over again, and then gently put it in front of Yang Chunfeng, looked at Yang Chunfeng with inquiring eyes, and asked, "Boss, what do you mean..."

Yang Chunfeng used his hands to comb the few hairs hanging on the top of his head habitually and said, "Do you understand? Do you have any ideas?"

As soon as Gao Tianmin heard it, he understood that Yang Chunfeng wanted to talk about his opinions first, and confirm his own opinions. To put it bluntly, he, the secretary-general, served Yang Chunfeng. Gao Shen next to the leader.You have to be able to handle things, and you must also be able to plan big things. Without this ability, no one will put you in such a critical position.Gao Tianmin has been working in the officialdom for many years, and he has developed extraordinary skills, otherwise, he would not have been the secretary of the municipal party committee at the prefectural level when the former provincial party secretary Xie Qingsong and the governor Qian Minggui both had accidents. Being able to protect himself, he can't be involved in anything, and still holds his position as the secretary of the municipal party committee.After Yang Chunfeng became secretary of the provincial party committee, he stood out from the local officials, gained the trust of the new provincial party secretary, and was quickly promoted to the standing committee and secretary general of the provincial party committee.After Xie Qingsong and Qian Minggui were imprisoned successively, a large number of officials were implicated.There were six or seven prefecture-level secretaries and mayors under review, and dozens of principals and deputies in various committees, bureaus, and bureaus. In the end, more than a dozen were dismissed from their posts, and they were imprisoned and sentenced to fixed-term terms. Five or six of them were imprisoned, which immediately caused an earthquake in the official circles of Xijiang Province.In view of the serious situation in Xijiang Province, the central government transferred a large number of provincial and ministerial-level cadres from other places to fill various leadership positions. Provincial Party Secretary Yang Chunfeng and Governor Liu Fangming were all transferred in from outside.In the past three years, Gao Tianmin was the only member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee promoted by the entire Xijiang Province, the local faction.After several dynasties, he was safe and sound, and others called him a tumbler in the officialdom in private. Sometimes Gao Tianmin secretly rejoiced at his political wisdom.Of course, it was all in front of my wife, in the most private occasions, when I was most carried away.

His wife Fan Jinhua was a flower in the county cotton textile factory in the early years. She graduated from the provincial textile school. She is 1.6 meters [-] tall, with big eyes and fair skin. .Her father is the party secretary of this large national enterprise. He was transferred from the army to a cadre and was once a deputy division cadre. At that time, Gao Tianmin was a poor country boy. After graduating from high school, he worked in a rural middle school for several years. After the resumption of the college entrance examination, he managed to get admitted to the provincial finance and economics college. After three years of study, he got a junior college diploma and was assigned back to the county.It happened that the financial department of the cotton textile factory lacked financial personnel, so he went to the financial department of the factory and worked as a cashier and accountant.

At that time, Gao Tianmin was not tall, dressed poorly, and had no good looks. In a large state-owned enterprise with tens of thousands of people, he was not considered a figure at all, and he couldn't catch the attention of beautiful women.At that time, because of Fan Jinhua's good conditions in all aspects, there were dozens of young men who pursued her.Fan Jinhua was in the personnel department of the factory, and Gao Tianmin was in the finance department. They were both on the first floor.

At that time, it was the age when the beauty Fan Jinhua was dreaming. At the age of 21, she filtered the faces of the young men she knew over and over again in her heart, hoping to find one among them, as her ideal husband.She never dreamed that this unattractive Gao Tianmin would become her final husband.

When Gao Tianmin arrived at the factory, he soon won high praise from everyone because of his cleverness and willingness to work.He is rigorous in his work and does not leak water. All the tasks assigned to him by the leaders can be completed on time with quality and quantity.The most important thing is that he is careful and good at discovering problems that others cannot.Once, Lao Fan, the party secretary of the factory, was going to a meeting at the provincial industrial bureau. Before he left, he said that he would take a person who could drink in the office with him.But there are many lesbians in the office, and there are quite a few who can drink, but the old man is afraid of being gossiped by others, so he doesn't bring women with him, so bring a man!After choosing and choosing, others reminded him that Gao Tianmin, a newcomer from the finance department, is said to be a bit of a drinker.During the Chinese New Year, when everyone gathered, he drank half a bottle of Xijiang Daqu in one go, without blushing, and sat down to eat as if nothing had happened.Asked how much he could drink, he said he didn't know, anyway, when he was studying in the provincial capital, he never got drunk when he attended the gatherings of his classmates.

At that time, the country had just started to reform and open up. People who can drink, in this small closed county, are capable people, and they will naturally be looked up to.As soon as the old man heard this, he asked someone to call Gao Tianmin to his office, and asked, "I heard that you can drink alcohol? How much can you drink?"

Gao Tianmin has seen this old man many times in the corridor. He always looks arrogant. In the factory, he doesn't look sideways. He walks with standard military steps at all times, giving people an invisible majesty.Every time Gao Tianmin saw him, he was a little nervous and didn't know what to say.I had no choice but to say hello: "Morning Secretary Fan!"

The old man snorted and didn't lift his eyelids, so he answered you.It makes you feel that you are always insignificant, a small person, and in this factory, he is the supreme authority.

Unexpectedly, Gao Tianmin knew only after getting in touch with him in private. This is all a superficial phenomenon. In fact, the old man is a very warm-hearted person, and he is very loyal in his heart. his authority.

Regarding the old man's question, Gao Tianmin didn't dare to hide it, so he had to tell the truth: "Actually, I don't know how much wine I can drink. Problem. When I was graduating from university, I drank nearly two bottles at a dinner party in a dormitory. I just slept for one night, and nothing happened the next day.”

The old man said: "Okay, this amount of alcohol is enough. Get ready and accompany me to the provincial capital. It's the end of the year again. We have to go to various bureaus and committees to treat guests. This time you will accompany me." I go."

When I arrived in the provincial capital, I invited guests for three days in a row. It was either the director or the director. At that time, life was just a little better, and I was able to drink high-quality wine and eat a large table of dishes. Many people regarded this as life. The biggest treat.So as long as I can drink it, I put it in my stomach desperately, and I don’t even want to spit it out, because my stomach is full of Moutai Wuliangye!

After all, Secretary Fan was old, and after fighting for several days, his heart couldn't take it anymore.Gao Tianmin looked at him, his face became more and more ugly, so he advised him not to drink.Back in the hotel room at night, Gao Tianmin also proposed to go to the hospital for a checkup.

The old man didn't agree, saying that it was an old problem and he couldn't die for a while.fine.After speaking, he waved his hand and asked the driver and Gao Tianmin to go back to the room to rest.When the driver returned to the room, he turned on the TV and watched it.Gao Tianmin went to the bathroom and was about to take a shower. Just as he was about to take off his clothes, he heard a bang from the next room, like something falling.Based on the layout of the apartment, Gao Tianmin judged that something might have happened to Secretary Fan next door while he was taking a shower in the bathroom.He opened the door, and only shouted to the driver: "Go and see Secretary Fan!" Then he rushed out, went to the corner of the stairs, called the attendant in the duty room, took the key, and opened the room where Lao Fan lived. room door.

Pushing open the door of the bathroom, I saw that the water was steaming inside, and the old Secretary Fan was crooked in the bathtub, curled up there naked, his mouth trembling, unable to speak.The back of his head hit the edge of the tub, scraped a piece of skin off, and was bleeding.

Gao Tianmin immediately asked the waiter to use the phone in the room to call an ambulance, and he and the driver tore off a piece of bed sheet, first bandaged the wound on Lao Fan's head, wiped off the water droplets on his body, and laid it flat on the bed, waiting for the emergency personnel to come. arrival.When the ambulance arrived, Lao Fan was put on a stretcher and sent to the hospital.Gao Tianmin called the factory again and reported Lao Fan's illness.After Lao Fan's wife, son, and daughter arrived in the provincial capital in a vehicle specially dispatched by the factory, Gao Tianmin left the hospital for a rest.The whole night, he stayed at Lao Fan's bedside, taking care of Lao Fan's every move like his own son.

After the family members arrived, talking about the experience of this illness, Lao Fan burst into tears, saying that if Gao Tianmin was not careful, heard the movement in my room, and rescued him in time, I would have died!From then on, Lao Fan's whole family treated Gao Tianmin as a benefactor.Lao Fan recovered quickly, and after a few months of rest, he was able to go to work normally.He cared for Gao Tianmin even more, and asked Gao Tianmin to eat at home every now and then, and walked and chatted with him.For Gao Tianmin's future, he gave the green light.As long as there is a chance to be promoted, he will do everything possible to push Gao Tianmin up.He also mobilized his beautiful girl to marry Gao Tianmin.

In the beginning, Fan Jinhua really looked down on Gao Tianmin. There were hundreds of college students in the factory, and there were many good-looking and good-looking families.But since Gao Tianmin rescued his father and became a frequent visitor to the Fan family, Fan Jinhua also chatted with Gao Tianmin from time to time.But as soon as Gao Tianmin saw Fan Jinhua's rosy face and slim waist, he immediately became nervous and unnatural, as if he had been electrocuted.His speech became incoherent, so Fan Jinhua thought that he was a person of little promise, so he didn't take him seriously.

But the sons and daughters must obey what Lao Fan is looking for, Lao Fan said: "Girl, don't think that Gao Tianmin is not good now, he looks ugly, but this man is scheming and considerate in doing things, ordinary people can't compare. In my opinion, this person's future is limitless. You should make up your mind to stay with him. Don't look at the height of the mountain, and don't look at those people who are better than Gao Tianmin, but they may stay in our factory for the rest of their lives. Here, be a technician or a worker. The times are changing so fast now, and it is really hard to tell where we will go tomorrow. I am old, and I can’t control you for the rest of my life. You have to walk your own way. Choose As a man, ability should be the first priority. Is handsome enough to be eaten? Listen to me, there is nothing wrong. Dad has been educated all his life, but he has experienced many things and seen the world. I believe I see human eyes."

It was only after hearing her father's words that Fan Jinhua agreed to have sex with Gao Tianmin, and gradually developed a relationship. Later, she got married, gave birth to a child, and completely became his Gao Tianmin's woman.For this, many people did not think of it at first.Those boys who had once pursued Fan Jinhua and were rejected, and a group of potential suitors, saw the unattractive Gao Tianmin quietly surpassing all their opponents and winning the beauty, and they all felt overwhelmed. Five-flavor bottle, can't tell what it tastes like.In order to balance their psychology, they complained in private: This is a typical flower inserted into the cow dung.

However, Gao Tianmin's subsequent development has confirmed the foresight of Secretary Fan. In the mid-to-late 80s, under the cultivation of Lao Fan, Gao Tianmin was promoted all the way. He first became the deputy factory director and factory director, and then he was transferred to the county, where he became the executive deputy county magistrate, county magistrate, and county party secretary. After that, his official career went smoothly. , From the deputy mayor, to the mayor, the secretary of the municipal party committee, until he was promoted to the standing committee member and secretary general of the provincial party committee, and became a provincial cadre.And those who said he was cow dung, one by one, became the first batch of laid-off and unemployed people in this small county during the wave of layoffs in the 90s.The former college students, technicians, state-owned enterprise employees, and people with great reputation are already a lot older in the 90s. Many of them are in their 50s and 20s. However, with the downturn of enterprises, the treatment is getting worse Poor, in the end even the monthly living expenses are not guaranteed.Many people have no choice but to let go of their elegance and go to the streets to push tricycles, shine shoes on the side of the road, and work part-time in restaurants to earn some money for food and barely fill their stomachs.Some people can't stand such a poor life, so they take the road of crime and rely on cheating and abduction to survive.In just [-] years, society has changed so much that it is beyond everyone's imagination.Some people fell from the sky to the ground, and some people jumped from the ground to the sky.

Gao Tianmin is that kind of lucky person.

Gao Tianmin in the officialdom is known for his low-key. He has been a deputy for many years, and he can work hard and cooperate with the work of the top leader.When he was the deputy factory manager, he served the factory manager comfortably. When he retired, he recommended Gao Tianmin to his superiors to take over his job.In this way, Gao Tianmin stood out from several deputy factory directors, and more than a few people who were older than him and had higher education than him became the top leaders of the factory, laying the foundation for his smooth entry into the officialdom in the future.

When he went to the county to be the deputy county magistrate, he divided his duties and cooperated with the county magistrate's work. He had to find out the details of the county magistrate and the secretary in everything, so that he would neither offend the county magistrate nor the secretary.If he is really confused, he will pretend to be confused and play football to ensure that he does not fall into the officialdom internal friction between the number one and the number two.So his promotion has been going smoothly, and every three years or two years, he has been promoted to a higher level.Those officials who are busy with internal friction, either you want to kill me, or I want to kill you, but no one is promoted, but let Gao Tianmin, who is an official in the field, get a big deal for nothing.

People who are older than Gao Tianminguan, as long as they have worked with him, they all think that his most valuable quality is that he can endure humiliation, understand the general situation, take the overall situation into consideration, and not compete for fame or profit.Whenever leaders at all levels praised him in such an appreciative tone, he always nodded, showing a flattered look and a modest and cautious expression.

And when he got home and faced his wife Fan Jinhua alone, he completely relaxed and let out the emotions that he had suppressed so hard outside, especially on the bed, when the couple was very busy, He always said complacently: "Know the general situation, take into account the overall situation, let's put the fucking fart on all! Is it okay if I don't do that?! One by one, the officials are all older than me. In front of them, I can only live forever. Pretending to be a grandson is not enough. Low-key, low-key, low-key! Who wants to keep a low-key forever! There will always be someone who is higher than me, and my fate is always in their hands. I won’t do that Is it okay? Sometimes when I think about it, it’s really fucking worthless. I want to cry in my heart, but I still have to put on a smile on my face. After doing this kind of work for decades, if the will is not strong enough, I will become schizophrenic Yes. Although my position is a deputy provincial cadre in name, it is still a job of serving people in essence. Can I make a high profile? I have no choice but to do so!"

Now, after clearly seeing Wang Yiming's appointment document, Gao Tianmin is sensitively aware that his political life may be completely ended in the hands of this Wang Yiming in three years' time.The secretary general of the provincial party committee may be the last and most prestigious position in the officialdom.Three years later, with Yang Chunfeng's retirement, his position as secretary-general will be handed over as a matter of course.This is basically a matter of course.
