Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Four

After Li Dongfang mentioned Hetang Village in his speech at the city's party and government cadre meeting, the reputation of Hetang Village suddenly increased, and even the boss Zhong Mingren, who was lying in the hospital, noticed it.Zhong Mingren specially invited He Jiaguo to have a talk. Zhong Mingren pointed out: "The problem is not that a fortune teller was elected to the stage, but that our party members and comrades are not a single person! Among the 32 party members in Hetang Village, it is impossible that there is no good person. Why do they not want them? The former party members and cadres are too Corruption, once the common people have democratic rights, it would be strange not to drive you out of power! In fact, the alarm bell has already sounded, and some of our comrades just turned a deaf ear to it, and don’t want to think about how to be a good public servant of the people and how to serve the common people well. Serving, still there for their own so-called political interests, trying to find ways to protect corrupt elements, I think this is not only dereliction of duty, but also stupid-I don't believe that people will choose him when democratic elections are held To be governor and deputy governor!"

While criticizing Zhao Qigong, Zhong Mingren also calmly reflected on it. For the first time, he regarded He Jiaguo as his comrade and friend, and said it sincerely and frankly: "I think the phenomenon of top leaders does exist, and the phenomenon of undemocratic decision-making and undemocratic employment , not only in Xiajiang City, Xichuan Province, but also in many parts of the country. At the beginning of the reform and opening up, there was still a market for the left side, and it was impossible to do otherwise. The political situation required people like Director Qiao Punching and kicking to create a situation, that's why "The Story of Joe's Appointment to the Factory Director" will be popular all over the country. After the political situation is stable and political life is normal, it will be impossible to do this again. A path where the subjective and the objective diverge..."

Zhong Mingren was in a good mood that day, and he said a lot about democracy. At the end, he took the initiative to ask about the International Industrial Park again, asking He Jiaguo to tell the truth.He Jiaguo saw that Zhong Mingren was in good physical and mental condition, so he told about the situation - he still didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that Zhong Mingren would not be able to accept it all at once.After speaking, he also took the opportunity to recommend two books on environmental protection to Zhong Mingren, one is "Giant Panda Thoughts" and the other is "Thoughts on Giant Pandas".

Although he didn't speak clearly, Zhong Mingren was a bit overwhelmed. The secretary couldn't believe that the pollution of the International Industrial Park would be so serious, and there was nowhere to go except to close the park. For 15 years, what Zhong Mingren saw and heard was not the case.Although Zhong Mingren didn't get angry after hearing this, he still had some reservations. He thought deeply and said, "If what you told Li Dongfang is true, then Qian Fanxing never told me the truth. "He Jiaguo was not polite anymore, and truthfully reported Qian Fanxing's actions, including the idea of ​​"forced palace" on the issue of Times Avenue funds.Zhong Mingren was so angry that he realized that he was almost forced to go to Liangshan. He sighed "terrible, terrible" a few times, and said with emotion that the lack of a democratic style is really harmful to himself and others.

He Jiaguo was worried that Zhong Mingren's heart would not be able to take it anymore, so he didn't dare to say more, and suggested that Zhong Mingren conduct some private visits in the future. Zhong Mingren smiled wryly: "——You son of a bitch, are you imagining things again? What kind of private interviews do I do? It's still the era of private interviews? With TV, I, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, will become the biggest star in Xichuan. Where can people not recognize me?" Sighed: "I really don't like TV, so I don't even have the freedom to go shopping!"

After returning from Zhong Mingren, He Jiaguo gave a report to Li Dongfang. Li Dongfang felt that the time was ripe, and planned to send the contaminated materials from the International Industrial Park to the hospital one after another for 15 years. early resolution.At the same time, Li Dongfang asked He Jiaguo to follow the spirit of Zhong Mingren's conversation, to work out the materials on Hetang Village, and publish them on "Internal Situation" as soon as possible.Li Dongfang made it very clear: When the clean government storm is raging more fiercely, it is necessary to ring the political alarm bell a little bit, and further unify the thoughts of leading cadres at all levels in the city amidst the long ringing alarm bells.

He Jiaguo accepted the mission bit the bullet, but his emotions were not too high. The democratic experiment in Hetang Village was not successful. Apart from the ringing of alarm bells, there is almost no other practical significance. He Jiaguo knows best in his heart: his democratic ideal has been ruthlessly shattered by reality.The new village committee of Hetang Village held three meetings and quarreled three times, and a fight broke out at the third meeting. A village committee member surnamed Wang was hit by a flying ashtray and had five or six stitches on his head.Except for a decision to change the village gate for Fengshui, no decision was made.The village director, Gan Ziyu, saw that he was not playing well, so he simply ignored the matter and was busy with fortune-telling and fortune-telling all day long. It is said that Chen Zhongcheng asked him to do the calculation before he was arrested, and the calculation was very accurate. Gan Ziyu's reputation grew. For a period of time, many small cars in the province and city drove directly to Hetang Village, causing extremely bad influence.The deputy director, Nie Duanwu, worked in the office, but it was not a serious job to lead the people to a well-off life. Instead, he kept petitioning, leading a dozen people from the town to the county, running around for three days.Not only did he sue the party members and cadres of the three previous village committees, but he also sued Gan Ziyu, saying that Gan Ziyu intentionally shielded the corrupt elements named Gan and joined forces with them.

As soon as Ji Fushun reported to He Jiaguo, he complained and cursed. Qian Fanxing was already dissatisfied with He Jiaguo's democratic pilot project, and this time he was caught venting his grievances. After getting rid of the entanglement in front of the city hall, he called He Jiaguo from the car and told him that he was studying "Inside Situation" at the Xiajiang Hotel. He Jiaguo, who wrote the manuscript, scolded him sarcastically and sarcastically. At this time, the last lingering ideal of democracy in He Jiaguo's heart also disappeared. He picked up the phone and asked Ji Fushun to take all effective measures to stop this kind of bad influence group visits.

Ji Fushun felt quite embarrassed. He Jiaguo said: "I don't care about it, old plan, you can see that it's done, anyway, you have a lot of local policies and local methods!"
