Chapter 22 twenty

When Xia Zhongmin arrived at the Organization Department of the Haozhou Municipal Party Committee, it was a quarter to seven. "Have you filled out the form?" Liu Jingfang asked. "Okay." Xia Zhongmin replied very briefly. "Actually, it's okay to let someone else deliver it, mainly because there are some things I want to talk to you face to face." Liu Jingfang said straight to the point. "I've been wanting to talk to you too. I've been too busy these days." "Okay, I won't say much else, what do you think about the public assessment and selection of the county mayor?"

"To be honest, I never wanted to sign up." Xia Zhongmin said softly. "Actually, the opinions from below are quite big, and I personally don't agree with such an assessment." "Finished?" Liu Jingfang asked softly. "No." Xia Zhongmin replied, "I have been working in Dianjiang for almost eight years. I have been inspected several times, and until now the organization seems to be unable to judge whether I am competent. In the end, I will be asked to take the exam. I will take the exam. What will others think of me after passing the exam? It seems that I am always thinking about being the mayor. Everyone has to take the exam, why some people don’t take the exam, and some people have to take the exam to be promoted?”

"Xia Zhongmin, I am the head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and I have listened to all your opinions, including your opinions and suggestions." Liu Jingfang said this, looked at the time again and said, "Put down your form, I will now I will officially inform you that you will report tomorrow afternoon, and the written test will start the day after tomorrow. If you pass the written test, you will have to take the retest two days later. There are many things in the retest, and it will take about three days. Please go back and prepare immediately. I have already explained to Secretary Chen Zhengxiang what you are doing. He is solely responsible for handling it."

"Such a long time!" Xia Zhongmin was taken aback. Liu Jingfang didn't even look at him, and continued, "Wei Yu, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, is waiting for you in the office on time. He has something to tell you." The secretary led Xia Zhongmin into Wei Yu's office. Wei Yu was in his early fifties. After Mo Wenhua was transferred away, he was directly transferred from the position of the mayor of another city to be the secretary of the Haozhou Municipal Party Committee.He has been in Haozhou for more than a year, and he has had contact with Xia Zhongmin several times, and the two of them are fairly familiar.

"Secretary Wei, I didn't intend to come to see you." Xia Zhongmin said as he sat down, "Maybe you also know that in the past two days, a lot of things have happened in Dianjiang, and we are indeed under great pressure." "Understood." Wei Yu nodded. "The situation in Dianjiang is indeed not optimistic. We are stepping up efforts to investigate and deal with the situation of the two cases. What I am most worried about now is that your reelection is only a few days away. Do you feel confident about this reelection?" Xia Zhongmin didn't expect Wei Yu to ask such a question as soon as he came up, "I think this should be considered by the organization, and I can't say anything personally."

"This time, the Municipal Party Committee decided to choose you as the candidate for the mayor of Dianjiang City after full consideration. The day before yesterday, your Municipal Party Committee Secretary Chen Zhengxiang also told me about your situation. To be honest, on the one hand, he firmly supports you, but On the one hand, I am also very worried about you. Zhongmin, I am now seeking your opinion in the name of the organization, if you want to change your mind and change places, there is still time." Looking at Wei Yu's serious face, Xia Zhongmin couldn't help being taken aback. "Secretary Wei, you are talking about now!"

"Yes, now." Wei Yu nodded and said, "This is also for the protection of young cadres. We cannot let capable cadres make mistakes. So, Zhongmin, I think you should think about it again?" "Secretary Wei, do you mean to transfer me out of Dingjiang?" "Yes." Wei Yu said very seriously. "I want to transfer you directly to my side. Secretary Huang of the Gongcheng District Committee of Haozhou City is about to be promoted to Deputy Secretary of the Haozhou Municipal Committee. I want you to take over his position. Of course, this is just a few of the municipal committee members. The thoughts of the main leaders are not the decision of the Standing Committee, but mainly want to hear your personal opinion."

"..." Xia Zhongmin froze for a moment.He suddenly remembered that when Organization Minister Liu Jingfang talked to him just now, he seemed to have hinted at this too.No wonder Liu Jingfang would say that to him, do you no longer have confidence, do you feel that you can't stay in Dianjiang anymore? "Zhongmin, I'll give you a day to think about it." Wei Yu stood up at this moment, as if telling him that the conversation was over. "As you know, Gongcheng District is the former Haozhou City in the Haozhou area. Although there is no Dianjiang University, it is the district where the municipal party committee and the city government are located. It is also one of the largest counties in Haozhou City. It has a population of 1.4 million. , 70% of the urban population. Judging from various conditions, it is not worse than Dianjiang at all. If you want to do something, you can accomplish a lot here. Also, in Dianjiang you are the mayor, here you are Being a secretary. That's totally different, too."

Xia Zhongmin slowly stood up from the sofa, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said to Wei Yu: "Secretary Wei, thank you very much, and also thank the organization for caring about me. But I have already thought about it. Jiang has been in Jiang for almost eight years. I am very familiar with all aspects of Dianjiang. At the same time, I have deep feelings for the cadres and ordinary people in Dianjiang. I don’t want to leave there. Secretary Wei, I have confidence in Dianjiang, and I will Keep working hard. It would be a waste of time to go to a new place and start over. Besides, District Chief Ning in Gongcheng District is waiting to pick up the secretary, so I can’t do that either.”

Wei Yu stared straight at Xia Zhongmin, and said after a long time, "I've already said, I'll give you a day to think about it, I don't want you to answer me right now." Before going out, Wei Yu held Xia Zhongmin's hand tightly and said, "Zhongmin, I understand your situation very well. To tell you the truth, I have made unannounced visits to Dianjiang several times in private. You have done a good job. The municipal construction of Dianjiang is very beautiful. To be selfish, I need you. I have been in Haozhou for more than a year, and the situation in Haozhou is similar to that of Dianjiang. There are many contradictions and the situation is complicated. I need some courageous people. Help me open up the situation. If you come to Gongcheng District, you can also let go and do a big job, and I will fully support you unswervingly..."

After leaving the municipal party committee compound, Xia Zhongmin felt that there was still time, so he let the car drive into the municipal government compound.He wanted to hear the opinion of the mayor Hua Zhongchong. After all, they were classmates, so they might be able to speak more thoroughly. "Secretary Wei talked to you?" Hua Zhongchong didn't say anything. "We've talked about it." Xia Zhongmin didn't say anything. "You agreed?" "I don't want to leave Dianjiang." Xia Zhongmin replied truthfully. "Xia Zhongmin, is there something wrong with your brain?" "I am not sleeply." "Then listen to me, go directly to the level of secretary, and in a year or two, you will be a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, that is, the deputy department level. Are you clear? You are only a deputy department now. How can there be such an opportunity now?" Hua Zhongchong said bluntly outspoken. Xia Zhongmin was at a loss for words.He wanted to say something, if I only wanted to go to the division or department level, why did I have to choose Dianjiang in the first place?Xia Zhongmin suddenly felt that he really shouldn't be here. "Xia Zhongmin, listen to me, go back to see Secretary Wei immediately, and tell him that you are willing to be transferred to Gongcheng District." Hua Zhongchong said anxiously, "Move trees to die, people move to live, old in one place, how can you move so quickly?" Are you promoted? Look, what has become of Dianjiang, how complicated and terrifying, can you take on those responsibilities? That's it, come to Gongcheng District right away, take this opportunity, and run away with peace of mind What I told you the day before yesterday." "...What is it?" Xia Zhongmin was stunned for a moment. "I told you just now, did you forget?" Hua Zhongchong also looked at Xia Zhongmin in a daze. Xia Zhongmin shook his head, but still couldn't remember. "Hey, you man! Didn't you run at all these two days?" Xia Zhongmin suddenly remembered.Hua Zhongchong asked him to act as a deputy to the Provincial People's Congress! "What, you really stumped me! I know, I won't forget." Xia Zhongmin had indeed forgotten, and he once again regretted why he insisted on coming to Hua Zhongchong today. "Look, look, it's really up to you to do this. The day lily is cold?" Hua Zhongchong's face suddenly showed obvious displeasure. "Okay, okay, I know you're busy, but this is a big deal for me, please. Also, let me tell you again, don't hesitate to do things in Gongcheng District. Zhongmin, I am It is only because I am an old classmate that I tell you such things..." It was almost nine o'clock when Xia Zhongmin came out of Hua Zhongchong's office.We must rush back to Dianjiang before 10:30, because the inspection team made an appointment to talk to him at 10:30 this morning.Then before 11:30, you must rush to Jiangyin District.District head Mu Yongji was waiting there, as were hundreds of villager representatives.Otherwise, once there is a commotion and thousands of peasants drive horse-drawn carts and ox carts into the streets of Dianjiang, the traffic of Dianjiang will be completely paralyzed immediately. Xia Zhongmin's mood was extremely chaotic at this time. Although he had politely rejected Secretary Wei Yu's arrangement intention for him, it was a huge temptation for him after all.Secretary of the Gongcheng District Party Committee, this is a place that many people dream of and try their best to go to.The most important point is that Wei Yu, secretary of the municipal party committee, has just come to Haozhou not long ago. As the leader of the municipal party committee secretary, he will definitely support him with all his strength. Perhaps, it should really be considered. The mobile phone that had just been turned on suddenly rang. "I'm Su Yang from the Research Office of the Central Organization Department, remember?" Xia Zhongmin suddenly remembered that when he was working in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, every time he went to Beijing, it was Su Yang who directly contacted him.They often cooperate in theoretical research conferences organized nationwide and have undertaken a number of national-level seminars. "Of course I remember, are you okay too?" Xia Zhongmin felt very affectionate. "I've been looking for you for several days, and I finally found you!" Su Yang looked very excited. After the two chatted for a while, Su Yang finally turned to the topic. "Due to the needs of the situation, the leaders of the Ministry are going to compile an "Introduction to the Organizational Construction of the Party", with the main leaders of the Ministry serving as the editor-in-chief. The research team. When you worked in the Organization Department a few years ago, everyone agreed that your theoretical level was relatively high and your research ability was also strong. In recent years, you have worked at the grassroots level, so I would like to second you to work in the Ministry for a period of time." Xia Zhongmin didn't expect such a thing, so he asked, "How long?" "At least half a year." "Just now?" "Right now, as long as you agree, the secondment procedures will be handled immediately." Su Yang's tone is unquestionable. "Let me tell you the truth, the department leader has already agreed." "Old Su," Xia Zhongmin said in a very embarrassed but calm manner, "First of all, thank you very much for your trust and care! But I don't think I can go." "Why?" Su Yang seemed quite surprised. "Dengjiang's team will be adjusted soon, and it is not appropriate for me to leave now. Besides, since I have come down, I plan to work at the grassroots level, and I don't plan to return to the office." "Zhongmin, this is an opportunity, you should come! If you want to be at the grassroots level, you can go down later!" Su Yang was a little anxious. "Old Su, I really can't go." Xia Zhongmin said tactfully but decisively. "If you have any difficulties, we can directly tell you, Minister Yu Jianhua of the Provincial Party Committee." "No need, old Su, I have been in Dianjiang for seven or eight years, and under the current circumstances, I really don't want to leave." "Zhongmin, is this adjustment of your team an important opportunity for you?" Su Yang seemed incomprehensible. "Old Su, this is not the main reason, you should consider other people." "Zhongmin, think about it, I can wait for you for a few more days." "Old Su, thank you very much, there must be no need to wait." "Well, since this is the case, I won't delay you." Su Yang said regretfully. "Zhongmin, I wish you success in your work, and you must come to me if you need anything."
