Chapter 9 seven

Xia Zhongmin woke up suddenly as if he had been frightened by something. Telephone! He couldn't help being a little dazed, he was so sleepy that he would sleep so hard! Should I answer this call?My mind was numb, and the phone had been ringing for a long time, but I was still a little ignorant.Looking at the watch, it was past 11 o'clock. After 11 o'clock, I slept for almost three hours! Mayor Hua Zhongchong said, no matter who calls, don't answer.He jumped off the bed suddenly, ready to go to the bathroom to wipe his face. It's just that this phone is really relentless. It has rang more than a dozen times, but it is still ringing.

Looks like it's time to answer, the caller knows he's in the hotel.Maybe it was Hua Zhongchong, he immediately picked up the phone. Sure enough. "Zhongmin, I'm Zhongchong. I'm really sorry. I should have gone there in person, but they seem to regard me as the head of the central government. Wherever I go, there are people following behind me. I think you should come, I'll take a shower first, can you come over in twenty minutes? I'm in room 808, let's have a good chat." Twenty minutes, no more, no less, he walked into Hua Zhongchong's room on time.

It is a big and small suite. When you enter the door, there is a small living room, and there is a large living room inside.Beyond the living room is the bedroom. Maybe because of the instructions, the secretary Xiao Ma is waiting in the small living room.Seeing Xia Zhongmin nodded, he let him into the living room.After a few polite words, he poured a cup of tea, and without saying anything, he closed the door and went out. The living room was bigger than Xia Zhongmin imagined.Gym, mahjong room, sauna, restaurant, bar, everything is available.After working here for so many years, I have never seen such a large hotel suite, and it is also a county-level guest house.

No wonder that when Dianjiang City was building the Dianjiang Hotel that year, some people proposed several times to build several luxury suites on two floors so that they could receive superior leaders in the future.Although he resolutely vetoed it at the time, these people still have a grudge to this day.In fact, what they meant was very clear, and of course Xia Zhongmin also knew what they meant.No matter how great the grades are, no matter how good the job is, it is not as useful as the mood of the leader.If you take care of the leader satisfactorily, the leader will be in a better mood, and everything will be pleasing to the eye, and you can see that there is no problem, and you can see that there is political achievement even if there is no political achievement.Besides, one day the leader will be happy to be served, and with a swipe of a pen, millions of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funds will be allocated in a rush, which is better than your achievements and ideas.

It seems that my thinking is really out of date?It is necessary to do a good job, but also to take good care of the leaders; it is necessary to pay attention to the grassroots, but also to pay attention to the upper level. Perhaps this is the real surefire strategy. The question is, is this really the case for today's leaders?Or has it really become like this? Even if more than half of the leaders, even one-third or one-fifth of the leaders have become like this, that is really terrible, terrible! He sat silently in the living room and waited for a quarter of an hour. The mayor, Hua Zhongchong, hadn't finished taking a shower yet. Did he have to steam in the sauna after taking a shower?

There was another colic in his stomach. He sat on the sofa, leaned forward, and pressed his arms against his stomach hard to relieve the colic in his stomach.Even so, large beads of sweat rolled down his head. Half an hour later, Hua Zhongchong finally came out of the bedroom. Hua Zhongchong is good at taking care of himself, but he still seems to be gaining weight irresistibly.At this time, his face was rosy and radiant, and his complexion was rosy, tender and delicate.Wearing a well-fitting bathrobe, he greeted him warmly and gracefully, while extending his hand casually. "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for so long. I've been too tired for the past two days, and I don't want to move anymore after soaking in it. Nowadays, this bath has many functions, anyway, it just makes you comfortable. Look, people That's it, if you want to be comfortable, you will miss nothing." Hua Zhongchong touched Xia Zhongmin's hand lightly, and then waved his hand, "Sit down, sit down. Zhongmin, why are you always like this? Thinner, thinner than when you were in school. Besides, your hair should be trimmed. And your leather shoes, you can’t even see the color. I remember I told you last time, no matter how busy you are No matter how tired you are, you have to pay attention to the identity of the leader. What is identity? Identity is first of all about appearance, well-dressed and well-dressed will be dignified, and dignified appearance will be pretentious. Okay, okay, we are old classmates, so I will tell you this .Look at you, what did you do? Your complexion is so bad, is your body okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Xia Zhongmin endured the stomach pain, and tried to make himself sit casually. He knew that Hua Zhongchong called him from Dianjiang hundreds of miles away in such a hurry, and he definitely didn't just talk about him. Fat and thin, so he also tried his best to appear casual and greeted, "I am like this. I was dry and thin when I was in college, and I am still dry and thin. I can't help it. No matter how much I eat, I can't get fat. I saw it on the street a few days ago. A fortune teller with shabby clothes and a disheveled face deliberately asked him if he could figure out what I was doing and how lucky I was in this life. He looked at me seriously for a long time, then rolled my hand and said I was not A temporary painter is a temporary heating worker. Although there is a little trouble this year, it will not be a big problem. As long as you work hard and don't have conflicts with your boss, it should be no problem to be a small foreman by the end of the year..."

Hua Zhongchong couldn't help laughing: "When old classmates meet, there are always endless topics to talk about. It's getting late, let's get down to business and talk about business. Xia Zhongmin, you have been the executive deputy mayor for more than half a year, you give me Honestly, how's the situation?" "That's it, the general situation is okay." Xia Zhongmin said while trying to figure out what Hua Zhongchong meant, "You are not unaware of the situation in Dianjiang. The local power and patriarchal power are too big and too strong, and the situation in the team is too Complicated, making small troubles step by step, it means nothing is done, and nothing can be done; it will definitely make these people unbearable and become a force I am determined to fight against you. Also, a deputy mayor is a deputy mayor, and with the addition of an executive, he is still a deputy mayor. You also know that this and the right are two concepts at all, and the difference is too great Yes. The last time the team was adjusted, the hearts of the people were scattered. Let me say that under our current system, any other problems can be excused and explained by the fact that the system is not perfect and the reform is not in place. On the issue of cadres, we must not be vague, let alone take care of emotions and balance. The biggest conflict among cadres is, in the final analysis, a conflict of interests. In fact, this is easy to find out. The government and the party committee, the mayor and the secretary, Once there is a conflict between the principal and the deputy, as long as the higher-level organization can treat it fairly and objectively, it will be clear who is right and who is right. Sometimes I really don’t understand why some leaders come to the bottom, and when they encounter personnel problems , when encountering conflicts among cadres, they would immediately keep secret, evade, or even close their eyes and listen, unable to agree on what to do. In the end, they were either ambiguous, noncommittal, or turned a deaf ear and let it go. You come to kill each other with a single knife, and each hits 50 big boards. It is plausible to say that, a slap can't make a sound. If you are fine, how can there be conflicts between the two of you? Let others listen to it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it No. In fact, this kind of treatment is really killing people, and it has caused the most harm to our cadre team! After a long time, who will work down-to-earth, reassuring and bold? Just like the last inspection of Dian Jiang, At the beginning, how much confidence and hope did everyone have? But what about the result? Another time to take care of emotions, and another time to balance. Your half catty, his eight taels. Give you an executive deputy mayor, and then give He is an executive deputy secretary. Can you do this for cadres that are related to the hearts of the people and the hearts of the people? Just say me, the executive deputy mayor, how much effect can I have on those really important and substantive reform issues? Same as in the past. What's the difference? It's really hard to do, some things simply can't be done..."

Having said this, Xia Zhongmin suddenly didn't want to say any more, he clearly saw the irritability and displeasure on Hua Zhongchong's face, and at the same time he didn't understand why he said so much all at once!It's so ignorant, Huazhong Chong asked you to come here urgently and without delay, it was definitely not to talk about your affairs.So he paused, and quickly changed the subject: "Mayor Hua, look, I didn't want to say these things to you right now, but for some reason, I couldn't help it when I saw you." "I know, I know, I still understand your mood. Everyone has seen how you are doing down here, and the organization is also clear. Your situation has been studied many times by the municipal party committee. This time, the party committee and The reelection of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference has been studied above. For the sake of stability in Dianjiang, it is decided to hold the Party Congress and the National People's Congress and Political Consultative Conference in advance. , You have been preparing for a long time, and most of the party congresses and people's congresses at the district and township levels have been held, so you should know who is the representative of the party congress and who is the representative of the people's congress , I hope you can understand what these representatives mean to you. The arrangements for the team of the Dianjiang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have basically been finalized. Comrade Chen Zhengxiang, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, will no longer serve as mayor concurrently. You will be the mayor of course. It has to be elected by the National People's Congress. One thing you have to be mentally prepared for is that Chen Zhengxiang has been uneasy about working in Dianjiang, so the general election will not be that simple, and various problems and complicated situations may arise Especially when you become the mayor, the Dianjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will have a very strong reaction, and there will definitely be a lot of resistance. Chen Zhengxiang is 58 years old this year. This time he is not allowed to come down because of your next arrangement. This time I became the mayor smoothly, and it will be a matter of course for me to be the secretary in a year or two. Just in case, the Organization Department of the Haozhou Municipal Party Committee arranged for you to inspect you again this time. Also, in order to ensure that there are no accidents , We have taken a two-pronged approach, through the public selection and assessment of the county mayor, and we want to directly select you through this channel. Even if there is any problem in this inspection, we can ensure that there is no loss through the public assessment and selection line. So this time The inspection has two meanings. On the surface, it seems to be a routine inspection of the public selection of county mayors. In fact, it is mainly a formal inspection of your next post as mayor. What I will tell you today is strictly confidential I’m telling you the news today, it’s not a formal conversation, and it has nothing to do with my division of labor. It’s over when it’s over, and you don’t need to tell anyone else. Zhongmin, to be honest, I still don’t know your situation. I understand. Think about it, for your arrangement, how many times have the municipal committee inspected, and why every time it failed, and even brought many side effects? You should seriously reflect on this. In fact, some problems are not It’s as simple as you can imagine. You have been in Dianjiang for eight years. The deputy secretary for eight years is still standing still. It’s not possible to blame all the problems on others. Zhongmin, I’m really sorry It’s for your own good. You really have to find the reason for yourself. I also want to tell you that this is not my own thoughts and opinions. In fact, it is the common people, no matter how much they support you, but after a long time, they also I will think about it, and I will also ponder, since Xia Zhongmin is so good, why has he been unable to be promoted? Even if one secretary has a problem with you and has a prejudice against you, can it be that two secretaries and three secretaries have a problem with you and have prejudice against you?"

Hua Zhongchong took out a document bag from the room in the back room, opened it, and carefully took out a letter from the innermost mezzanine.Hua Zhongchong didn't let him read the envelope, but just took out the letter paper from the envelope and handed it to him: "Just look at it casually, don't take it seriously." This is clearly a complaint letter, which seems to have been transferred from above, and it is a copy. There are several instructions from the relevant provincial leaders, the most important one is the instruction from the deputy governor in charge: Such letters may have a very bad impact on cadres and the masses, and should be taken seriously. The Haozhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, including the Dianjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, should not take it lightly and deal with it in a general way.Keep it strictly confidential, investigate and deal with it as soon as possible, and report the results of the treatment as soon as possible.

This complaint letter is not long, but the signature behind it is actually a real name: Liu Weige of Dianjiang City and other 27 deputies to the National People's Congress. Secretary Zheng Zhibang, please give the people of Dianjiang an answer! Comrade Zheng Zhibang, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee: My name is Liu Weige, and I am a people's representative of Dianjiang City.Dozens of deputies to the National People's Congress in our Dianjiang City are just following the spirit of the central government and your instructions, with an attitude of being responsible for the people, and risking being framed, attacked or even imprisoned, hereby report the following situation to you, and hope you can Give us, and also give the people of Dianjiang an answer. In the construction of the road around the Dianjiang River from last year to this year, the closed first-class road section from Xicheng to Nancheng is nearly 18 kilometers, and the expressway from Beicheng to the national highway is nearly 30 kilometers away. It began to crack, and within a month, a large area fell off. After one month, a large number of potholes appeared, and then the situation became worse and worse. Big difficulty.Especially in the recent period, vehicles and pedestrians in many areas have been impassable, and drivers and passers-by are miserable.The majority of cadres and masses in the city saw it in their eyes, felt pain in their hearts, were filled with righteous indignation, and talked a lot.The emergence of this kind of large-scale bean curd dregs project has never happened in the history of Dianjiang City! At the People's Congress of Jiangbei District, Dianjiang City held not long ago, almost all deputies of the People's Congress gave strong attention and severe criticism to this issue.Among the 15 delegations to the National People's Congress, 13 delegations urgently submitted this issue to the National People's Congress as a major bill.Due to the importance of the matter, the Dianjiang Municipal People's Congress also expressed serious concern about the situation of the Jiangbei District People's Congress, and asked Xia Zhongmin, deputy secretary of the Dianjiang Municipal Party Committee and executive deputy mayor, and Li Zhaoyu, the deputy mayor in charge of this work, to give answers .However, what none of the representatives expected was that when they answered this major engineering question, they actually said something like this: The direct cause of the large-area damage to these two sections of road surface in a short period of time is the quality of the oil.Because this batch of oil is substandard oil, and some of it is waste oil at all, but we can’t use it, because this batch of oil was designated by the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Zheng Zhibang for us to use it, and he said it was a political mission and must be used, otherwise Not only will the road construction appropriation for Dianjiang be withdrawn, but the road construction appropriation for the entire province will also be greatly reduced.Secretary Zheng said that this is a batch of business done in our province by the son of an old leader who works in Beijing, not only for Dianjiang, but also for other counties and cities.We pointed out at that time that this batch of oil had serious quality problems, but Secretary Zheng insisted on using it. We really had no choice but to use it.As for the problem of road conditions, we will solve it as soon as possible.We can't lose the big because of the small. Although there are some problems in the project, in general, we still take a small loss and take advantage of the big advantage. This is the answer and explanation given to the representatives by Xia Zhongmin and Li Zhaoyu who are in charge of this work!According to reports from some representatives, the two of them also told the heads of certain delegations that Secretary Zheng's son-in-law was also involved in the sale, and the benefits he got from this alone were no less than 5 million! Secretary Zheng, you had a very good image in our hearts. We support you, obey you, and support your various reform measures in the province.We were very pleased that our province had such a clean and courageous good secretary!However, after listening to what Xia Zhongmin and Li Zhaoyu said, we really felt like the sky was falling!Secretary Zheng, is what they said true?We can't believe it, we can't believe it! Secretary Zheng, we sincerely hope that you can give an answer to us deputies to the National People's Congress and to the people of Dianjiang in your busy schedule! ... At the bottom of the letter, there was even an instruction from Zheng Zhibang, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee: The Disciplinary Inspection Commission of the Provincial Party Committee is requested to investigate and deal with it quickly to set the record straight. Xia Zhongmin only felt his brain beating loudly, and his eyes spurted blood! It's simply too bad that rumors can create such tricks!To the extent that something can be created out of nothing like this, the thief shouts "stop the thief", pretends to be a horse, and kills with a knife! Liu Weige is indeed a real person, and he is indeed a representative of the National People's Congress in Jiangbei District, Dianjiang City.He was originally a deputy mayor of Jiangbei District. This time, the organization was streamlined and the township was merged. He was eliminated because of the low number of votes in the competition.So with a grudge, I have been suing everywhere for several months, and the names of the complaints are also various, such as forming a party for personal gain, forming a clique... What are fake reforms, real corruption, and making a lot of money in the name of institutional reform... and named Dao said that Xia Zhongmin borrowed his son's birthday and received more than 700,000 gifts at one time! But for these so-called complaint materials of Liu Weige, he never took them to heart, but this time it was completely different.What he used was actually the name of a representative of the National People's Congress, and it was Liu Weige and other 27 representatives of the National People's Congress!And even invented a People's Congress!An emergency bill for the 13 National People's Congress delegations was fabricated!What made him feel the most unbearable was that he fabricated an on-site answer to the so-called bean curd engineering case, which involved Zheng Zhibang, secretary of the provincial party committee!The most damning thing is that it also involves an old leader working in Beijing! There is indeed an old central leader working in Beijing in the province.The old leader is indeed alive and well.And this old leader does have a son who works in the province! What made Xia Zhongmin angry was that the engineering problem Liu Weige mentioned was true.There are indeed problems with these two roads.The engineering quality of these two sections of road is indeed a matter of strong concern to the people of the entire Dian River.Moreover, he has already organized relevant units to carry out secret and intensive verification and investigation.Judging from the preliminary evidence so far, the engineering quality problems of these two sections of road are indeed suspected of major shady transactions and corruption! But what Xia Zhongmin never dreamed of was that Liu Weige actually used this method to accuse him of a "imperial complaint" for this important issue caused by quality reasons that the entire Dianjiang cadres and the masses are extremely concerned about. ! The despicable means, the vicious mentality, the ulterior motives, and the sinister intentions are really the pinnacle, unheard of! Neither he nor Li Zhaoyu, the deputy mayor, nor in written or oral form, have ever publicly expressed or explained this project quality problem.Three months ago, the Jiangbei District People's Congress did hold a meeting of people's congress representatives, but the theme of that meeting was the election of a new Dianjiang City People's Congress representative. He had never heard that this Jiangbei District People's Congress meeting had held other What agenda, and I have never heard that 13 delegations have put forward the same emergency proposal, and strongly demanded that the leaders of the Dianjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government answer all the questions raised by the representatives immediately. In fact, any thoughtful leading cadre can immediately analyze the main purpose of this complaint letter as long as he takes a closer look.But on the other hand, any leading cadre or ordinary people who read this letter will definitely believe that since so many deputies to the National People's Congress signed the complaint, the facts stated in this letter are basically not false. But if you really want to verify the authenticity of this letter, first of all, at least half of the problems are true. It is true that there are serious problems in the quality of the project. It is true that the cadres and the masses reacted strongly. The question must be true, of course!Even if only one representative of the National People's Congress submitted a motion, it must not be regarded as untrue.As for whether the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Executive Deputy Mayor Xia Zhongmin and Deputy Mayor Li Zhaoyu in charge of this work have responded to the NPC deputies, especially whether they have said such things, it depends on the signed NPC deputies Liu Weige.He can say that he has listened to other people's reflections, and he can even say that he has heard it himself. As long as he insists on saying this, it will be difficult to explain clearly! Judging from the current situation, since he dared to sign his name, he was fully prepared.Not only will he insist on doing so, but he must already have a strong armor and a sharp blade, ready to fight.Those who come are not kind, and those who are kind do not come. Since he dares to sue you with his signature, he is not afraid of what you can do to him!He has already thought of everything he should think about, and he has done everything he needs to do. Xia Zhongmin knew very well that the current director of the Jiangbei District People's Congress was once the secretary of Liu Shibei, the former party secretary of Dianjiang City in his early years.And this Liu Weige, the deputy mayor who had resigned from the competition not long ago and signed as a representative of the National People's Congress, happened to be the driver of the car that drove the former secretary of the municipal party committee, Liu Shibei, for seven years ten years ago. It has been almost three years since Liu Shibei was not the secretary of the municipal party committee. Since Xia Zhongmin came to Dianjiang as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee eight years ago, until today, it seems that his contest with Liu Shibei has never stopped.Sometimes, it even made him feel that even though the old secretary Liu Shibei had been away for so long, the real confrontation between them seemed to have just begun. Probably seeing Xia Zhongmin's heavy expression, Hua Zhongchong finally broke the silence, and while gently pulling the complaint letter back from Xia Zhongmin's hand, he patted Xia Zhongmin on the shoulder and said, "Zhongmin, I I let you watch these things because I feel that you can let go of such things and don’t care. Looking at you today, I think your cultivation is far from home. Tell me, what is this? Who would Believe it is true! Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong. Who is not sure what the person who wrote this letter wants to do? Don't worry, even though so many leaders have signed it, it is actually nothing. Isn't it just to listen to the report? I can make it clear in one sentence: create something out of nothing, blame others! Okay, Xia Zhongmin, let me tell you, this matter ends here, and I will not listen to any explanation from you, nor will I Let me talk to you about any situation related to this matter. I am the mayor of Haozhou City, and this letter was directly approved by me, so you can rest assured that during this inspection period, at the Party Congress of your Dianjiang City Before the National People's Congress and the Political Association are held, I will not let anyone read this letter, and I will not let anyone know. This is not just for you, and it has nothing to do with us. It is purely from Start work. You don’t have any other thoughts, let alone any worries. When you return to Dianjiang, you must pretend that you don’t know anything and nothing happened. Do whatever you want, There is no such thing..." Xia Zhongmin couldn't help but said: "That's impossible, I will investigate this matter to the end. Even if I pretend not to know, the cadres and ordinary people in Dingjiang will not let this matter go. To tell you the truth, I am investigating this matter, I believe there will be a preliminary result soon..." "Stop immediately!" Hua Zhongchong looked extremely concerned, "Xia Zhongmin, listen to me, the investigation of this case should be stopped immediately. As I said, everything ends here. This is not what you should do at all." What the hell, how can you investigate your own case? Even if you find something, no one will believe the results of your investigation, do you understand? This case can only be investigated by others! At that time, I will send someone specially If you go on, no matter what problems are found, it will be a kind of relief for you, and it will be a kind of protection for you. Let others explain for you, wash for you, than explain for yourself, than wash yourself One hundred times stronger, ten thousand times stronger! Also, what else can keep the current situation secret? Just like the case you are about to send someone to investigate, and the province entrusted Haozhou to send it to the city a few days ago You must not participate in Jiang's joint investigation team on several cases. If you do, you will withdraw immediately. Don't be confused about such matters, and don't think that I don't know what you are doing. , and don’t think they don’t know, think about it, I know, people still don’t know? I tell you, don’t do such stupid things again. You must listen to me this time, before you become a full-time job , especially before the general election, any excessive and unreasonable things will be stopped, and what is being done will be stopped. In a word, it is useless! If the top leader does not speak, approve, or sign, everything is tantamount to nothing! I did this. The mayor has figured everything out for a few years. Don’t look at such a big city. It’s useless if the party secretary doesn’t talk about cadres, and it’s useless if the mayor doesn’t talk about economic matters. You I have been here for so many years, do I still need to be reminded of this kind of thing? Dede, I know you definitely disagree with some of my views, I also know what you want to say, and I also know your way, but now it is Extraordinary times, extraordinary times must be treated very differently. Well, let me remind you one last time, from tomorrow onwards, all work matters will be temporarily put on hold, not not to work, but to let others Do it for you. Free up your hands and transfer all the center of the center to the change of term. Everything is based on the change of term. Everything is based on the change of term. Also, starting tomorrow, replace your black face with a red face as much as possible. For those representatives of the Party Congress and the National People's Congress, the people in charge of the grassroots Party committees and people's congresses, and those leaders and figures who can influence these representatives and influence these representatives in all aspects, you must make more contacts, make more phone calls, and make more calls. Speak good things and make more smiles, including your opposite and those who have opposed you. This is not a process or a form, this is a procedure, and the procedure is the content. By the way, there are two more things that you must do tomorrow, one is You must participate in the public examination and selection of the mayor of Haozhou City this time. I heard that you have not signed up until now. What do you want to do? Liu Jingfang, the head of the Municipal Party Committee, called me just now and said that you have been to the Now you don’t show up and you don’t sign up. She also heard that you complained a lot about the selection of this public assessment. If you want to take the test, you can take the test for the governor or minister. Is it still necessary for such a department-level county and mayor to take the test? Let me tell you, Minister Liu JingfangI was pissed off at that.I just told you the inside story in violation of organizational principles. If you continue to challenge the leaders on this issue, who will talk to you next?You must report it, and report it tomorrow morning. If you don’t report it, I will report it for you.At that time, if something goes wrong, it will be your own business.One more thing, about this visit to you, I will go directly to the secretary in charge, Wang Siji, tomorrow morning.He is the executive deputy secretary and the deputy secretary in charge of the organization, and there is no one for this inspection, so you must take the initiative, be sincere, talk to him, and try to make this inspection pass smoothly.I know there's a rift between the two of you, and there's a lot of back and forth between the two of you, but you need to fully understand that.He is a veteran cadre with old qualifications, older age, and much more senior qualifications than you.In a word, compromise when it is time to compromise... Zhongmin, do you know why I called you here in such a hurry today? " Xia Zhongmin originally wanted to have a good chat with Hua Zhongchong, but firstly, Hua Zhongchong didn't want to listen to him at all, secondly, he had no chance to interrupt at all, thirdly, it was really too late, and the complaint letter just now It was as if he had been hit with a sap, and he was stunned all of a sudden, and he hasn't recovered until now. Hua Zhongchong waved his hand casually, and said to him with a smile on his face: "It has nothing to do with you, it's about me. I've thought about it for a long time, and I still need your help, and only you can do it." "What's the matter, tell me. You are the superior and I am the subordinate. If I can help with your affairs, can I help?" Xia Zhongmin was still thinking nervously. He really couldn't figure out what Hua Zhongchong would do. What needs his help. "Nonsense, are you here again? What are the superiors and subordinates? If I look for subordinates, I can come to hundreds of people with a cough, and I don't need to call you here from hundreds of miles away?" Hua Zhongchong said suddenly Sighed, "Zhongmin, I don't know if you have this feeling, don't look at me, the mayor, who usually hugs and yells, but when it comes to the critical moment, it seems that there is no one in front of me, and I can talk to you I can't even find a single person who can tell you the truth. It seems that everything is fake, and no face seems real. The higher the position, the more lonely I feel. It really feels a bit overwhelming... " Looking at the disappointed expression on Hua Zhongchong's face, Xia Zhongmin suddenly felt, did something serious happen to Hua Zhongchong? "Zhongmin, listen to me. Originally speaking, such a thing should be a great happy event, but for some reason, I am not happy at all now. Do you know what it is? You have been in this period The following is busy, and you may not have noticed some things. Not long ago, the Provincial Party Committee was entrusted by the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to conduct an organizational inspection in Haozhou. Wei Yu. The inspection time was not long, and it ended in only two days. I didn’t have much hope for this, because Secretary Wei Yu’s momentum is much stronger than mine in all aspects. In fact, I I have served as the mayor for less than three years, and I have to be a secretary for at least a few more years if I want to be promoted again. But I didn’t expect that the relevant leaders of the province came to talk to me recently, saying that the Organization Department of the Central Committee was very satisfied with the results of my inspection. Of course, the main point is because I am young, and now I have reported the inspection results to the central government, so it is estimated that there will not be a big problem with the approval. The next specific arrangement may be the deputy governor in charge of economy, or the deputy governor in charge of industry Mayor. After hearing this news, I feel that the pressure is too great these days. I have just been the mayor for two years, and I will soon be the deputy governor. I have no idea whether I will be qualified for the job. , I can’t explain it clearly. But the matter has come to this point, so I can only bite the bullet. The above has already inspected it, and the Central Organization Department has also approved it. If there is any problem in the next step, it will be a big shame. Now, my future in this life is over. Zhongmin, I asked you to come to help me, because there are only three or four months left before the Provincial People's Congress. What is disturbing is that the election of the vice-governor of the National People’s Congress is a contested election! There are eight places for vice-governor, and nine candidates are running for the election. It is said that those candidates have already started activities, and secretly organized a campaign team Zhongmin, you also know that in today's affairs, it is far from saying hello or not. Especially like us, young and inexperienced, people have been dissatisfied with you. I don't care about people, if you don't say hello now, it's good to say, think about what kind of mood they will be in? How can they vote for you? Usually they talk about youth, but in fact, when youth is at a critical moment, instead It is the shortcoming that is most vulnerable to attacks. So we must also be prepared, be active, and start working with all our strength from now on. We must be prepared, thoroughly prepared, and think about all aspects of problems, so that no one can be missed. But It is a bit too difficult to do a good job of preparation in such a short period of time. Another point, as you know, I can't directly come forward for things like this. If something happens, The negative impact is too great. So after much deliberation, I think it is more reliable to find you. Zhongmin, I have calculated carefully these days. Among our classmates, the current deputy to the Provincial People's Congress Among the alumni who graduated from our school, there are about 40 to 50 representatives of the provincial people's congress. In addition, about There are thirty more.Zhongmin, this is not a small number. If half of these people can do our jobs, and they are willing to do other people's jobs for us, then our next election will be more than half successful!Zhongmin, this is the most important thing that made you come here in such a hurry. As for the other things, it goes without saying that you know how I will deal with it.The key is this, these two days my head is really big, I don't know what to do..." Xia Zhongmin stared at Hua Zhongchong's face as if he suddenly didn't recognize him. What he never dreamed was that Hua Zhongchong called him so secretly and urgently for such a thing! Hua Zhongchong is about to become the vice governor!As a classmate and subordinate, he must pay the price and work hard for this. He must put down all the work at hand, become the most important and important member of Huazhong Chong's campaign team, and devote himself to this activity!去找那些老同学、老关系、老领导、老熟人，从而为华中崇的下一步选举打下坚实而可靠的基础。 至于前面所讲的那些，在这样的一个目的面前，突然间就全变味了！突然间就成了一个根本都还是未知数的前提！这其中的性质和内容自然而然也全然不同了！我保住你市长的顺利当选，你就必须为我的副省长的当选做出应有的努力，这个前提就是这样地清楚和明了！ 夏中民突然觉得一转眼间自己便从一个座上宾变成了一个地地道道的阶下囚，变成一个无人解救的人质。 他曾把华中崇紧急召他而来的原因想了无数遍，做梦也没想到竟会是这样的一个缘由！ “中民呀，”华中崇的嗓音依旧是那样地亲切和温和，但此时听来，却字字穿心，“我不知道我的意思你听明白了没有？这件事我想来想去，觉得还是你最合适。第一，我的情况你最了解，凭你的文采口才，足以点石成金，化腐朽为神奇。第二，在学校时你当过学生会干部，口碑好，大家对你很尊重，肯定有号召力。第三，你这几年干得也很不错，说真话，办实事，每一步都能踩在鼓点上，本身就是个新闻人物，大家服你，信得过你，由你出面，不会有什么副作用。还有，你目标小，从位置上讲，不太惹人注意，四处跑一跑，上下走一走，讲的又是别人的事，即使有什么人想寻是非，也不怕闹出什么事端来……” 夏中民只觉得自己的头越来越大，一股无名之火腾腾腾腾地直往上蹿。这些日子真的是忙得焦头烂额，有多少要命的事情都在等着去办！眼看就要进入夏季了，由他提议，经市政府研究坚决执行，全市各个单位因污染原因强行被拆的大大小小的锅炉有上千家，然而时至今日，全市集中供热工程仍然八字还没一撇！在他给全市市民做了保证的第一批针对普通工薪阶层、必须在国庆节前夕完工交房入住的120万平米安居房，现在至少还有将近80万平米地基还没有完工，而自愿做出牺牲而暂住在极为简陋的过渡房中的拆迁户，至少有4000多户，如果这批无房户入冬前住不进安居房，不只对这批人，同时对他这个常务副市长，对整个市委市政府、对整个嶝江市，都将会是一场巨大的灾难。还有他呕心沥血了将近八年、还没有到嶝江时就开始考察调研、一直到前不久才刚刚开始落实运作的城市规划工程：中心大街的拓宽，市政建设的创新，15公里内环路绿色通道，上百处街头公园绿地，18万平米太庙公园重建，20万平米世纪广场改造，全市48条街道的高标准绿化，人居环境、户外环境和开放环境的全方位改善，从而大幅度地提高城市品味和城市文化……这一切，包含着多少人的心血汗水，蕴藏着多少错综复杂的尖锐矛盾，牵扯着多少明争暗斗的利益群体！还有，即将毕业的近万名大中专学生的就业，数百名部队复转干部的安排，数十家国有大中企业的转制和重组，近十万名已经下岗和即将下岗职工的重新安置，增产减收亟待解决的农村地区近一百多万人口的夏收夏管夏种夏征，关系着市政工程命运的高柳采石场数千名采石工人的日渐激化的矛盾冲突，由新加坡商人投资4个亿的电信工程控股谈判，由香港商人投资两个亿组建全省最大室内装饰材料生产基地的签约…… 说白了，一句话，就是要夏中民马上停止一切工作，抽出时间来为他去跑官，去活动！ 夏中民有些发呆地盯着眼前这张微微发福、很英俊也很显官态、红润而细嫩的脸，这张脸曾是那样的熟悉，又突然是这样地陌生。他也是一个市长呀！是一个将近一千万人口的地级市的市长，而且是一个正市长！本来他应该比自己更忙，忙十倍、百倍！ 看着自己的老同学，夏中民突然又感到十分惶惑。作为一个市长，究竟应该有怎样的作为才算称职？像自己这样，忙得整日脚不沾地，那就算是个好市长、称职的市长？而像华中崇这样，让所有的人都为自己忙起来，而他自己看上去并不显得怎么忙，甚至忙的都是一些别的事情。这样的市长，你又如何能就此判定他不是个好市长，或者是个不称职的市长，甚至是个坏市长？事实上也确是如此，每年一次的政府工作报告，华中崇做得比谁都更精彩、更有水平、更有鼓动性，更让人热血沸腾、信心百倍！ 就在两个月前，华中崇还在昊州市进一步深化改革动员大会上做了一个感人至深的报告。他说整个昊州市现在有五百多万农村人口，四十多万下岗和待业人员，全市二十三个区县中有十一个山区县，四个贫困县。最小的县只有六七万人口，最大的县市有上百万人口。在小县里，平均十六个老百姓养活一个干部；在大的县市里，最好的也是三十个左右的老百姓养活一个干部。在我们昊州市，平均二十五个老百姓养活一个干部。即使如此，我们整个市里吃财政的干部人数还是每年以近万的数字在增加！为了当一个干部，为了让自己的孩子当一个公务员，有些人可以打通重重关节，即使花去十几万、数十万也在所不惜。大家好好想一想，如果在一个地方，有这么多的人从小到大、从学校到社会，几十年如一日、锲而不舍、梦寐以求的就是当干部，当科长、当处长、当主任、当局长、当院长、当县长、当市长、当书记，那我们这个社会还有什么希望？那我们的经济还怎么发展？有这么多干部挡在路上，我们这个社会还怎么前进？为什么要当干部？既可以出人头地、扬眉吐气，又可以稳稳当当、舒舒服服地拿钱。既然世界上还有这么好的行当，那还何必冒那么大风险去搞经济、搞科技、搞管理、搞发明、搞改革？当社会上所有的精英人才都挤到当官的这条路上时，那社会的财富又有谁去创造？时代又怎么发展？历史又怎么前进？我们为什么深化改革？深化改革首先就是要改掉这种官本位的观念意识。官本位就是我们这场改革的最大拦路虎！深化改革就是要还权于民，还利于民，就是要打破既得的利益群体和官僚特权！深化改革就是要把我们的市场变大，政府变小。等到有一天，那些跑官、要官、谋官、争官的人越来越少时，我们的政治自然就会变得越来越清明，我们的社会也就会越来越进步…… 这么多年了，夏中民是第一次为华中崇能讲出这些而深为激动和深受鼓舞。他完全同意华中崇所讲的这些观点，尽管还有些需要商榷的地方，但他觉得他完全理解了华中崇的意图和用意，他觉得自己需要这样的领导，尤其是在他最感艰难的时刻，能有这样思想水平的老同学做自己的后盾和顶头上司，让他感到分外踏实和欣慰。他甚至为这么多年来一直把华中崇看得那么谨慎和保守而分外内疚…… 然而在今天晚上，同样是这个同学，也同样是这个上级，显现出来的却完全是另外一副面孔，流露出来的也完全是另外一副心态…… 华中崇竟会用如此不加掩饰的手段做出了这样一番如此造作的表演，赤裸裸得几乎让人难以置信！ How could he do this?又怎么能这样！ 究竟是自己太缺少人情味了，还是对方做得太过分了？ 正在他思前想后的当儿，华中崇再一次把他的思绪拉了回来：“中民呀，你怎么了？不管怎么着，至少也不会因此而对我有什么想不通吧？这根本就不是你的风格么。你得说话呀，究竟行不行，你得给我个准信，否则我还得另作打算哪。至于那些必需的开支，你那儿如果不好处理，只管拿过来就是了。这个不是什么问题……” 这时候夏中民腾地站了起来，说了一句让他日后注定要付出代价、也注定要让他后悔一辈子的话： “华市长，你看你想到哪儿去了，这样的事情如今还瞒得了谁？这消息我早就听到了。其实你刚才说的那些纯粹就是多余，这还用得着你交代吗，前几天我们几个同学聚会时，我就已经给他们做工作了。这并不是属于你个人的事，你只管放心就是，从现在开始，我马上就开始联系。同学、老师、校友，还有同事、朋友，我都会让他们立刻行动起来，根本用不着你来出面，也根本用不着你操心……” 夏中民突然觉得少有地恶心，整个肠胃好像都在痉挛都在抽搐，差点儿没当场吐出来，强忍着，终于把后面的话说完，等到走出华中崇的屋子，回到布满星斗的室外时，他才觉得自己已经好久好久没有看到这么明快清晰的夜色，没有呼吸到这么凉爽新鲜的空气了。 很多天后，他都无法再想起自己后来又都说了些什么！ 他实在不能去想，一想就直想把自己的五脏六腑全都吐出来。
