Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

Liu Wangming compared his work to seeing a "outpatient clinic", which is very vivid.He is like a country hospital, suddenly a Beijing-based expert who can treat difficult and miscellaneous diseases sits in. There is a long line outside the door, and all kinds of "sick patients" come to seek medical treatment.Liu Wangming felt comfortable seeing this scene.This is an expression of power, strength, ability, and prestige.It is just that "official officials are thin, and gods and temple masters are fat". The rules of officialdom are power fetishism. Without power, no one will come to the door; But if you don't have the ability, the strategy and the fire to solve the problem are not in place, and you still can't get things done.Only those with power, strength, and ability can show prestige.Liu Wangming thinks: You can see at a glance whether a leading cadre has power and prestige, whether there are people following him in front of and behind him, whether there are people looking for him at home after get off work, and whether he is surrounded by people in the office.He started as a deputy county magistrate at the age of twenty-seven, and it has been almost twenty years. He is surrounded by people at work, chased after get off work, and accompanied at meals, so he is used to it.Sometimes when he went abroad or went on a business trip, and no one was around, he felt empty in his heart, as if he suddenly lost power, and he was not used to it.This is a sense of control, dominance, and accomplishment.He estimated that every leading cadre would have this feeling. Otherwise, why the central government has issued repeated orders to "simplify the car", reform the reception etiquette, and simplify the reception specifications. A lot of documents have been issued, and the problem cannot be solved. "Calling from the front and hugging from the back" is a unique phenomenon in officialdom since ancient times. It shows power and a kind of majesty. Without this, what is the difference between an official and an ordinary person?There is no prestige!Liu Wangming didn't think it was a bad thing.This is a manifestation of the prestige of the Communist Party among the people.

When Liu Wangming came to the office, the secretary poured tea and turned on the air conditioner to a suitable temperature. After waiting for him to sit down, Wang Daoguang, the office director, sat down opposite him and reported to him what happened in the city in recent days.Liu Wangming pushed away the two piles of folders piled up in front of him, leaned back on the swivel chair, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and signaled to Wang Daoguang that it was time to report. "Mayor, you lost your temper just now. I watched the news this morning and wanted to call the TV station. It's too shameful!"

"I am reminding them today. If I do this again in the future, I will give them a good look. For news units such as TV and newspapers, you have to keep an eye on me. You can't become 'their' mouthpiece, you have to hold it in our hands inside." "Yeah, I didn't pay enough attention in the past. After today's incident, they should also wake up." "I don't dare to measure them again. Well, let's not talk about that. Tell me about you." "I have reported some rumors about the Lingxi traffic accident to you on the phone last night. Obviously, these people have ulterior motives."

"Do you know where these rumors come from?" "A few friends of mine called me and asked me. I told them at the time that it was a rumor. I haven't found out where it came from. You don't have to care about it. Once you go to work, the rumor will be self-defeating." "En." Liu Wangming nodded. "Recently there are some rumors about you in the city. I wonder if the mayor has heard of it?" Wang Daoguang smiled all over his face, leaning as far as possible to Liu Wangming who was across the desk. "Oh, what's the legend?" One sentence pulled Liu Wangming's body over, leaning his whole body against the desk, his eyes fixed on Wang Daoguang's face, waiting for his next words.

"It is said that Li Shusheng is going to leave, and you will take over as the secretary of the municipal party committee. We are looking forward to this day." "There's no basis for this, at least the Provincial Party Committee hasn't researched it yet. Think about it, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee hasn't come to investigate, so how can there be such a thing as whoever leaves and whoever becomes the secretary." Liu Wangming said this, but he was still happy in his heart.The news brought by Wang Daoguang greatly relieved the fatigue of dealing with traffic accidents in Lingxi County, and also vented the anger accumulated in Xinyang Zao News.

"From my point of view, it's true that the Provincial Party Committee didn't study it, but at least it explained a few problems." "What can you explain, tell me." Liu Wangming couldn't wait. Wang Daoguang was not in a hurry, blinked his eyes, reached out to pick up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip.What Liu Wangming liked at the beginning was because he had a quick brain and a reserved and steady surface.Not only did he speak well to Liu Wangming, but he also helped him analyze some problems, and he also had some unique insights.It can be regarded as one of Liu Wangming's military advisors.Wang Daoguang is not only Liu Wangming's assistant at work, but also his life consultant.In Wang Daoguang's eyes, Liu Wangming was naked and had no privacy at all.In Wang Daoguang's words, he "manages the backyard" for the mayor. In terms of work, the director of the office is the mayor's housekeeper. Outside of work, Wang Daoguang helps him with housework.Especially when there is a dispute between Liu Wangming and his wife Li Ying, or between several lovers of Liu Wangming, or between a lover and his wife, whether it is Liu Wangming, Li Ying, or a lover, the first call is always Call Wang Daoguang.Therefore, Wang Daoguang is the "director of the police station" in Liu Wangming's family.Whether it is Liu Wangming and Li Ying fighting in the same room, or the "Iran-Iraq War" between lovers, as long as Wang Daoguang steps out, the flags and drums will immediately die down and the smoke will disappear.In the words of the office cadres in private, "Director Wang doesn't care about the affairs of Mayor Liu, his wife, or his lover." , Which leader and wife's birthday in the province, which leader gave birth to a grandson, Mayor Liu should go to congratulate.Wang Daoguang knew exactly which chief's nanny's name, where the boss, second child, and third child of the leader's family worked, what their names were, and what kind of non-staple food the mayor's family should change. Well arranged.Liu Wangming once considered making Wang Daoguang the mayor's assistant, but he couldn't live without him for a while.

"I think this legend in the society at least explains these few problems. First, your prestige in Xinyang is expected of you to be the secretary. Second, the provincial party committee is already planning a candidate for Xinyang secretary. At least there are leaders. Considering you, there are no waves without wind. The third is people's hearts, which prove that people's hearts belong to your side, and people don't want Li Shusheng to be the secretary again." "Brother, don't think about it." On the surface, Liu Wangming said this, but he felt that it made sense in his heart.

"However, you also have to pay attention." Wang Daoguang changed the subject, and let it go again. "Pay attention to what?" "Everything has a duality. Think about it, once these comments spread, those who have opinions on you, especially those from Li Shusheng's side, will start to find fault, and they may start to take some countermeasures." Liu Wangming nodded. During the process of dealing with the Lingxi traffic accident, Liu Wangming clearly felt that Li Shusheng was taking advantage of this incident to fight him out of wits.However, he was unprepared at first, and was obviously at a disadvantage from the very beginning. Li Shusheng seemed to be taking the initiative every step of the way. He felt depressed. Before the change of the municipal party committee, this situation must be changed. Otherwise, the political chess game he designed might lose everything. .This is what worries Liu Wangming the most.

"So, in my opinion, during this period of time, you must communicate with the superiors, stabilize the subordinates, and control public opinion in the middle, so as to promote yourself and not let the idea of ​​you being a secretary get too hyped." Liu Wangming nodded. "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the work of the past few days." Liu Wangming changed the topic. Wang Daoguang reported to him on the development of the municipal square.In early July, the executive meeting of the municipal government studied the development of the municipal square, and the meeting decided to "exchange land rights for development rights".Under the premise of the overall planning of Xinyang City, Xinda Company agreed to build the municipal square, and handed over the development rights of 1,200 mu of land around the square to Xinda Company.According to the design requirements, the municipal square has various functions such as leisure, assembly, landscape, culture and entertainment, and commercial services. The total cost of the pipe network, cables, and the demolition of old houses for residents is around 270 million yuan.After the square is completed, due to the improvement of the environment and transportation, the commercial value of the land obtained by Xinda Company will reach 530 million.Liu Wangming once said that the square is not the biggest, but the best.It is necessary to build the municipal square into a rare cultural square in China, first-class in the south of the Yangtze River, and the only cultural square in the whole province.Make it as famous as the "Roman Forum" in Italy.Liu Wangming planned the square to cover an area of ​​"568" mu, which means "I, Shun, Fa".As a highlight of his political achievements this year, as a pawn in his politics.And, of course, his financial interests.

Wang Daoguang said, "There are also some discussions about this project, mainly saying that Xinda Company has made too much profit and the city government has suffered losses. Some people think that the developer should be selected through bidding, and some say that the city's economic strength is not very strong, and there are Two impoverished counties with nearly a million poor people. It is not the time and unnecessary to build such a square now. The money should be invested in more needed—” Liu Wangming listened patiently at first, but the smile on his face just now disappeared, and his eyes narrowed.

"Have you finished?" Liu Wangming really couldn't listen anymore. "I know that at the executive meeting of the government that day, two deputy mayors spoke perfunctorily. They nodded in front of their faces and shook their heads behind their backs." Liu Wangming pointed to the executive deputy mayor Wei Daoqing and the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture. "The city's finance is a 'food' finance. As we all know, it is impossible to spend so much money on municipal construction. The management of the city is proposed by 'there'." Liu Wangming used to call the Municipal Party Committee or Li Shusheng "over there".The Xinyang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government work in a building with two gates on the outside, one half on the east, one half on the west, and a wall in the middle.Obviously it is one family, but secretly it is two "households". The cadres on both sides have to go in and out through the gate. "You can't afford the money in the city. They help you build it, and they are envious of the money they make? The businessman is not the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, not the director of the Poverty Alleviation Office. He is here for profit. Which development company in the city dares to bid for it? ?I don’t think there is any one that is more powerful than Xinda. If there is no other bidder, it may not be possible to invite enterprises outside the city to build Xinyang’s municipal square? Is it a joke? As for the investment, of course, rural areas are very difficult, and there are differences between urban and rural areas There are always. There are many poor and backward places in China, and there are many people who don’t wear pants. But haven’t Beijing and Shanghai become international metropolises, they didn’t wait for the west to start to modernize at the same time.” The more Liu Wangming spoke, the more excited he became, waving his left and right hands in the air in turn. "Let some places and some people get rich first, Comrade Xiaoping talked about it, have you forgotten? Besides, you, the office director, have to explain this and publicize the correct decision of the municipal government. You can't just let it go. What else? ,Say." Wang Daoguang knew that although Liu Wangming spoke loudly to him, he did not mean any malice, and as long as Liu Wangming left Xinyang for a few days, the first thing Liu Wangming did when he came back was to talk to Wang Daoguang about work, business or personal affairs.Wang Daoguang's strategy is to talk about the mayor's happiness first, and adjust his mood to the best state, then talk about general topics, and finally, depending on the situation, whether to tell him what the mayor doesn't want to hear the most. "Liu Jiajia came to the city hall to look for you yesterday." "What is she doing here?" "I don't think this woman should be underestimated. It's not easy for a rural girl to grow such a big business in more than two years. Now she has her own business and wants to make progress politically." "Oh, how do you say that?" "Liu Jiajia said that she thought that members of the CPPCC were like golf courses, as long as they paid a fee, they could become members. Now it is clear that it was negotiated. In fact, all it takes is for the leaders to roll their names. So she wants to find you, and you can give it to her. Get a quota, next year the National People’s Congress and the CPPCC will be re-elected, you said last time that she can be a member of the CPPCC, I don’t know if it’s true or not. She saw that many bosses of private enterprises are members of the CPPCC, and she wants one too.” "I think it's completely possible. We need to give private entrepreneurs a certain political status when we develop the private economy. Liu Jiajia is young and gets rich through hard work. A girl in her twenties, with the support of the government's preferential policies for laid-off workers, started a business. I have opened five or six chain stores, with an operating income of several million a year, and a tax of more than 100,000 yuan to the state. It is entirely possible to arrange a member of the Municipal People’s Political Consultative Conference. You can say hello to the United Front Work Department of the Municipal Party Committee and consider it. At the same time, you must recommend it to the Municipal Bureau of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. .” "The problem is Liu Jiajia's image—" Wang Daoguang said tentatively. "Your thinking, we are not discussing Liu Jiajia's joining the party. What is her image? Those Kuomintang generals who have fought against the Communist Party for decades are still serving as ministers in the central government after liberation! Your thinking is too left!" "That's true. The mayor is still standing tall. I will handle this matter." "Brother, it's time for you to finish talking. Now it's time for me to talk. There is still a line outside. You help me line up for a while, and I have to do these things." For Wang Daoguang, Liu Wangming can be called a brother from the bottom of his heart. When the two of them were together, he called him buddy from the bottom of his heart. Wang Daoguang took out his notebook. "Tomorrow there will be a meeting of the Veteran Bureau of the Municipal Party Committee. I will talk about the work of veteran cadres. This is a special group. I want to talk about the work of the municipal government to veteran comrades. The Bureau of Veteran Cadres has prepared a draft. You can change it. You need more Talk about the contributions of old comrades to Xinyang, talk more about what they love to hear, have a sense of intimacy, and talk more about the work of this municipal government team and the changes in Xinyang in the past two years. The speech should be written with emotion and human touch. Don’t mess with it. into a business-like, cold leadership report." "There are still eleven days until the Mid-Autumn Festival. You can ask Xiang Ling to arrange some money. In my name, give a gift to each veteran cadre above the deputy office, about 1,000 yuan." "Send cash or buy a gift?" "It's up to you." "I think it's better to give gifts." "Recently, a press conference will be held in the name of the municipal government to report the work of the municipal government this year. In addition to the news units in the city and the province, reporters from the central news unit stationed in the province should also be invited to participate. You have to give the city The leaders of several news organizations greeted each other and arranged for them to positively publicize the great situation in the city." "Approximately when is it scheduled?" "I think there will be a plenary meeting of the municipal government in the near future to summarize the work of the previous few months and the tasks for the next three months after deployment." "Then I suggest that you hold the press conference and the plenary meeting of the municipal government at the same time, and let reporters from the provincial and municipal news organizations attend the plenary meeting of the municipal government before releasing the news." "Okay, your opinion is good. Let's arrange it like this. In addition, you make a list of the 'top leaders' of the various departments of the city government, and I will have a heart-to-heart talk with each of them. The caliber to the outside is to solicit opinions on the work of the city government." "Is this going to be unannounced for now?" "You draw up the list, and I will find time to arrange it, not necessarily on a certain day. Also, go to Beijing at the end of this month, ask the Planning Commission to prepare the project, go to the State Planning Commission to fight for some funds, and at the same time see the old chief. By the way It was you who told me about the governor's father's 90th birthday." "Okay, I'll prepare." "The construction of the municipal square will start next month, and a ceremony must be organized. It will be grand and enthusiastic, with a festive atmosphere. Be prepared, and I will explain to the Construction Bureau later. In addition, a briefing meeting will be arranged to inform all sectors of society The people introduced the excellent situation of the city's economic and social development this year. The participants are mainly deputies to the National and Provincial People's Congresses in the city, members of the Provincial CPPCC and some deputies to the Municipal People's Congress, CPPCC members and representatives of influential people from all walks of life. Retired and retired Cadres also need some representatives to participate.” "You have to implement these things yourself, and you must not be sloppy at all." Liu Wangming emphasized again. "I understand, mayor, don't worry. I'll do it. There are still a lot of people waiting in line outside. You go first." Wang Daoguang backed out. Lao Luo, the chief of the city's veteran cadre, came in with a document in his hand.With beads of sweat on his forehead, he humbly smiled and stood in front of Liu Wangming's desk, unnaturally polite, "Mayor, thank you for caring about the veteran cadres. You are so busy, and you still take time to ask about the work of the veteran cadres." "Sit down and talk, Lao Luo." Liu Wangming stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down on the chair opposite the desk. "The Bureau of Veteran Cadres is the working department of the Municipal Party Committee, and the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee has a division of labor. Comrade Zhou Jianming is in charge. I didn't want to ask too much. However, the work of veteran cadres is an important part of the party's work. As the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, I am duty-bound." "That is, that is, you can ask yourself, of course we wish for it." "There are many things in the work of veteran cadres that need to be solved by the government, such as funding issues, construction of venues for veteran cadres, housing issues, etc. Therefore, it is the government's unshirkable responsibility to do a good job in the work of veteran cadres." Lao Luo was like a timid and ignorant child who came to a strange place, opened his mouth, stared, sat on the chair and dared not move, kept rubbing his hands, and listened to Liu Wangming's teaching. "How about it? Tell me briefly about the work inspection of veteran cadres this time." Lao Luo began to report on the inspection of veteran cadres, and he thought it was good in general. The old comrades reflected that the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government attached great importance to the work of veteran cadres, and solved many problems without sufficient financial resources.Especially in the current government, it has invested more than 47 million yuan to build a new activity center for veteran cadres. This center is rare in the province in terms of scale and facilities. The problems reflected in the inspections are that the living conditions of retired cadres in enterprises, especially those in difficult enterprises, are not guaranteed. Compared with retired cadres in administrative units, the salary gap is too large.There is no guarantee of social security and medical insurance funds, and these veteran cadres are relatively resentful.There are also some difficulties of the Bureau of Veterans. There is a big gap in funds. Every year to visit old comrades who are sick and hospitalized, the condolences alone cost more than 30,000 yuan.In addition, the two cars of the old cadre bureau are also old, and they have run 200,000 kilometers. "Old Luowa, you are really an honest person, and you are devoted to your work. What you said is all about work. As far as I know, there are not many department-level cadres with your qualifications and dedication in the city. In fact, your personal problems should have been considered in the organization long ago. After being the deputy director of the organization department and the veteran cadre director for so many years, the municipal party committee should consider solving it at the deputy department level." "Mayor Liu, I can't do anything big as a person, thank you for your concern." Lao Luo was already so excited that he didn't know how to express it. "Old Luo, you have been humble all your life, and you should strive for the treatment you deserve, 'do your part'. But this matter needs to be considered by the municipal party committee. As the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, I will try my best to fight for it." He bought a favor in front of Lao Luo, and returned the ball to the municipal party committee.This may be a vote, and Liu Wangming's vote came without much effort. "Mayor Liu, thank you so much." Lao Luo was grateful. "About a few things at work, I think this is the issue of the treatment of retired cadres in the company, which involves more than 200 people in the city, and it is not easy to solve it in a unified way. There is no such policy above, and each county can consider it according to the actual situation. For example, there are In this county, there are only a few retired cadres, and there is not much involved, so they are dealt with individually and treated like administrative units. There is no chain reaction. Retired cadres are the product of a specific period, and now there are fewer and fewer year after year. What do you think?" "well." "About the funding issue of the Veteran Bureau, you write a report, and I will handle it within 100,000 yuan. I will give you 100,000 yuan to repair the cars in the bureau, and buy a new car. The veteran cadres have a lot of work, and your service tasks Heavy, it’s okay without a car, how about adding a car?” "Okay, okay, okay. I thank Mayor Liu on behalf of the veteran cadres in the city." "Don't thank you, how will your city's veteran cadre inspection work be carried out?" "We have prepared a speech for you. It is not well written. Please spare some time to review it." Lao Luo handed the speech on the table to Liu Wangming with both hands. "You give this to Director Wang in the office, and ask him to check it out." "Mayor Liu, the afternoon meeting will be held at 2:30 in the meeting room on the fifth floor of the Municipal Party Committee. I will invite you then." Lao Luo held Liu Wangming's hand in both hands, and left Liu Wangming's office backwards. He didn't pay attention to the threshold of the office, tripped and almost fell.He is a pure and honest person, and it was the first time that he reported to the main leaders of the city alone, and it took so long.He was very excited and very happy. No leader of the municipal party committee had ever cared so much about his personal problems, and even said to his face that he would solve the deputy department-level treatment for him. He never even dreamed about it.Even if Liu Wangming gave him a dream, but these words touched his heart.He served as the deputy director of the Organization Department for eleven years, and the deputy ministers a few years later than him have either become full-time members of the Standing Committee or ministers, or exchanged for the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference as deputies.It's not too much to ask for a sub-office's treatment by yourself.Over the years, with so many leaders, only Mayor Liu said a heartwarming word.If Mayor Liu had come to Xinyang two years earlier, maybe his problem would have been solved long ago.Public opinion outside said that Liu Wangming was difficult to approach and difficult to speak, which seemed to be prejudice.From Lao Luo's point of view, this person is decisive, caring about cadres, and approachable. He is a rare good leader. From Liu Wangming's point of view, his conversation today also plays an important role.From now on, he will spend about a month to win over most of the middle-level cadres in the city, not only the municipal government departments, but also all departments of the municipal party committee.Make a good impression on their minds.Especially the cadres of the Organization Department, he wants to win.Although they can't say much about their own promotion, but they contact people from the higher-level organization department and win them over, which is equivalent to winning over someone who can speak in front of the higher-level organization, and they should not be underestimated.Besides, spending some money on veteran cadres won the hearts of people at a higher level.When higher-level organizations come to investigate, city cadres above the deputy department level must participate in talks and opinion polls, which is tantamount to winning people's hearts and votes. Xu Xiangdong, director of the construction bureau, came in.Xu Xiangdong is Liu Wangming's neighbor and a classmate in the party school, so it's much more casual behind closed doors.Xu Xiangdong smiled and took the tea brought by the secretary, and sat down on the chair opposite Liu Wangming.Put your legs up. "Wang Ming, I think you are tired enough, I suggest you take a rest too." "Brother, this mayor is not made by a human being. Do you think it's comfortable? See how I can rest like this." "It's all about human effort. Recently, the Ministry of Construction organized an inspection team to go to Western Europe to inspect national park management and urban construction. How about I get you a spot?" "I can't go, and neither can you!" "why?" "The municipal party committee will be re-elected soon. I'm going out at this time? You leave your old classmates at this critical moment and go to the western world by yourself?" "What can I do at home, I can't help you." "Okay, let's discuss this matter in a few days. What do you want from me today?" "To make a long story short, I want to report three things to you. One is the city construction and maintenance fee. The budget at the beginning of the year is too small. According to the projects arranged by the city government, it is impossible to get it. It is estimated that the gap is about 5 million. The greening and lighting will cost 3.1 million overspending." "This is the budget passed by the National People's Congress, brother." "That's why I want to report to you, either to increase funding or to cut off the project." Xu Xiangdong said in a non-negotiable tone. "The project was also proposed in my government work report. I need to do a few practical things in municipal construction. If it is cut off, what will be done in the report next year?" "Then we have to let powerful construction companies advance funds, but advance funds cannot be tendered. You have to tell me something." "Wait, wait, let me think about it. What about the second thing?" "The second is to go to Europe for inspection. I want Li Ying to go. You are busy outside all year round. She works hard at home and has never been abroad. Besides, she is a student of architecture. She wants to see the urban construction of developed countries. And management, it is helpful for her to enrich her professional knowledge, and she can also see her son by the way." Liu Wangming nodded while listening, and said sincerely to his old classmate, "Thank you for being so thoughtful, but I don't worry about her going alone." "Don't worry, I'll send another young cadre to accompany her." "Isn't there only one indicator?" "We have a very good relationship with the relevant departments and bureaus of the Ministry. As long as you agree, I can call and ask for another seat immediately. I want to send Zhang Liwei, the director of the Yunfang County Construction Bureau Office. He is young and a graduate student of urban planning. , help take care of Li Ying by the way." "Oh, I've met that young man, and I have a good impression. Did Li Ying look for you?" "How dare I tell her without your consent?" When Xu Xiangdong said the above words, his heart rate involuntarily accelerated, and he sweated for his audacity.In case Liu Wangming discovered the relationship between Li Ying and Zhang Liwei one day, where would he hide Xu Xiangdong?How can I live with my own conscience.Liu Wangming didn't say that he was his leader, after all, he was still a classmate.Such a vicious thing can be done unexpectedly, and it is also high-sounding.But there is no way.He knew about Li Ying's cheating, and he sympathized with what happened to Li Ying.It is said that she is the "First Lady" of the city, but Li Ying often goes to work with red eyes and sobs alone in the office. As the director, he knows it well.He can completely understand how it feels for a woman to learn that her husband has betrayed her.And it's not just one or two women Liu Wangming plays with.Those who knew the inside story, when she faced her face respectfully, turned around and chatted about her helplessness and pity.Li Ying's heart was bleeding, she wished she could go underground.Xu Xiangdong understood her. When she proposed to go to Europe for investigation and visit her son by the way, Xu Xiangdong agreed and offered to do Liu Wangming's work.For Xu Xiangdong, this incident not only flattered Li Ying, but also made a favor in front of Liu Wangming.Arranging Zhang Liwei to accompany her is equivalent to arranging a honeymoon trip for Li Ying. It would be strange not to thank Xu Xiangdong for the rest of his life.But Xu Xiangdong also knew that this was playing with fire, it was too dangerous. "Since you have made all the arrangements, I have nothing to say. Or I'm sorry brother. Let me talk about the third thing." "This matter is the most important, related to the reelection of the municipal party committee." "Why, your Urban Construction Bureau still has something related to the reelection of the municipal party committee?" Xu Xiangdong said, what is the most difficult thing to manage in urban construction?It is planning.The common people say that the planning bureau is a "nonsense" bureau.Think about it, who can violate the plan?Aren't they all brains, and aren't they all saying hello?Recently, our planning monitoring team spent more than half a month investigating the implementation of urban planning.More than 700 large and small illegal buildings were found, covering more than 50,000 square meters. "You are the director of the Urban Construction Bureau, you have to deal with it when you find out." "Deal with? Who is dealt with? Every violation case has a hard background. If the section chief is dealt with, will the department deal with the director? If the bureau chief is dealt with, will the city leader be dealt with?" "City leader?" "In the Xindu Building under construction by the City Hongfa Real Estate Development Company, only 17 floors were approved in the planning, but the 19th floor was built, and the roof will be capped soon. Wherever our planning inspection team goes, the owners of illegal buildings will ask them to go. Look at Xindu Building." Xu Xiangdong told Liu Wangming that the boss of Hongfa Group had an unusual relationship with Li Shusheng.The leaders of the city's four teams knew about their breaking through the plan, but no one dared to say it.Didn't Li Shusheng back them up? "You can kill three birds with one stone in dealing with this matter: first, you can show your integrity and courage, and dare to break ground on Taisui. You can also win votes in several groups in the city, and Li Shusheng is "dumb and eats coptis". Grab a typical example, start from now on, demolish all illegal buildings, and maintain the seriousness of the planning. Three can put a little pressure on Li Shusheng. Do you think why Li Shusheng secretly supported Hongfa Company? Isn’t it a benefit? Pressure, Hongfa will put pressure on Li Shusheng, you have to do things when you get benefits. With Li Shusheng's personality, he may do it, but it is more likely not to do it. This is the effect we want." "What does this have to do with the reelection of the municipal party committee?" "Think about it. The Xindu Building is located in a prime location in the city center, with a price of more than two thousand yuan per square meter. Two more floors will be built, and the area will increase by nearly 3,000 square meters, earning an extra six million yuan. As a businessman, the six million yuan is worth a lot of money." Floating in water, isn’t it as sad as digging an ancestor’s grave?” "What does his sadness have to do with Li Shusheng?" "He feels bad for Li Shusheng. For six million, it's not too much for Hongfa Company to spend 600,000 on research. If Li Shusheng gets 600,000 and doesn't do anything, there will inevitably be disputes between them. If conflicts are aroused, Li Shusheng can't be regarded as a newcomer." Yang’s secretary. If Li Shusheng dares to stand up to help Hongfa Company, he will stand against several groups and even the people of the city. He will definitely lose points in politics, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Xinyang. If he can’t stay, it’s not exactly what you want result?" Liu Wangming had already kept pointing.Xu Xiangdong completely convinced him, he even felt that this move was powerful, why didn't he think of it himself. "Xiangdong, I don't have time to talk too much today. I have to arrange a special time to have a serious discussion. There are still people waiting outside, so let's talk about it here." "Mayor Liu, I won't keep you too long, just a few words." Tang Zhanhai, deputy director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, had not even entered the door, and his thick and hoarse voice poured into every corner of Liu Wangming's office.He is over fifty years old, tall and tall, with the virtue of not caring about anything.His personality is like his stature, carefree.He has worked in the army for 20 years, from the deputy squad leader to the regiment, without missing a step. Thirty-three became the regiment commander. At that time, they were considered rare in the army, but they couldn't move.I stayed in the grade until I was forty-two. I finally hoped that there was a vacancy for the deputy division commander, and the regional cadre department came to inspect it.After the investigation, the political commissar asked for a hypothesis that he would go to Beijing to see a doctor.The kid is young, five years younger than him.Tang Zhanhai had a master's degree in the military academy. Tang Zhanhai didn't know what field he was studying. He only knew that he drank a lot, had many friends, and had many phone calls. To have a meal with him, he had to answer at least three or five calls.I really can't do my job, I'm a fool, and all I think are ostentatious.The company cadres get annoyed when they see him.Tang Zhanhai didn't take him seriously, you can go to see a doctor.But ten days later, the superior informed them to talk together, the political commissar was transferred to the deputy division commander, and he changed his job.After the director of the Political Department announced his appointment and dismissal decision, he talked about the need for army building and so on.What he said, Tang Zhanhai's mind went blank.He took off his military uniform overnight and spent a week in the city where the troops were stationed.Then he brought his wife and children back to his hometown Xinyang.When I went to the local government, it was said that the arrangement should be half a frame lower, but Lao Tang said that it doesn't matter how much lower it is, as long as there is a job.Lao Tang felt that he had been in the army for decades, and he had dedicated his youth to the army, but he owed his love to his elders in his hometown.So after Laotang went to work in the Civil Affairs Bureau, he devoted himself to his work. He was especially willing to go to the countryside and have a good time dealing with farmers.You help them solve even the slightest problem, and they will be grateful to you for a lifetime.They rummaged through the boxes at home and gave you delicious food, and they rummaged through the boxes in their hearts.Send your most grateful words until you feel ashamed.The village where Lao Tang stayed was hit by a tornado last April, knocking down seven houses, killing four people and injuring 27 others.Laotang rushed to the village overnight, and together with the villagers rescued the dying and healed the wounded, he did not sleep a wink for three days and three nights. His work car became the village ambulance, and he took advantage of the Civil Affairs Bureau to win more than 90,000 yuan from the city in time. Disaster relief funds of RMB 100,000 were used to help villagers whose houses collapsed rebuild their homes.This is the duty of a long-term cadre, but the common people are not like this. They regard Lao Tang as their savior, and almost call him "long live".Lao Tang was moved to tears.In the encounter of the promotion of the army, looking at the reality of the place, Lao Tang thinks he can see through the world.He doesn't want to do anything for his own promotion, he just wants to do some small things within his capacity for the elders in his hometown, so that his conscience can be comforted.Therefore, he acted indifferently in the officialdom, and he didn't care about Liu Wangming, Zhang Wangming, or Li Wangming.If you don't call it, you won't get it, if you don't praise it, don't rely on it, you will be your official, and I will do my job.In all fairness, he felt that Li Shusheng was a decent person, but in his eyes, Liu Wangming and Lao Tang were a little respectful.He listens to his words, observes his deeds, invites friends to lead others, does whatever he wants, regards party discipline and state laws as trifling games, makes small favors, appoints officials and makes wishes, eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and is greedy.I often have hot fights with some self-employed people. How could such a cadre climb to such a high position?If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked, and if the middle beam is not straight, it will fall down.At the level of the city, letting people like Liu Wangming take power poses a real danger to the party's ruling foundation.Judging from Liu Wangming, the issue of party style determines the life and death of the party, and it is by no means alarmist.In such a mayor, how can there be any smell of Communists?It's completely the face of the "boss" of the gang.Tang Zhanhai personally cannot contend against the evil force of Liu Wangming, but he will never join forces with them. Last night, after the traffic accident in Lingxi, he heard rumors that Liu Wangming might be held accountable, saying that the leaders of the central and provincial party committees had issued instructions.He was happy for a while.可今天早上市政府通知他，柳王明要他汇报民政局工作，老汤才知道没这回事。 老汤没事不愿意给柳王明打交道，但民政局局长缺额多时，自己又是第一副局长，组织部明确要他主持工作，不能不硬着头皮和柳王明周旋。老汤是正团职转业干部。当局长不过是落实一个待遇。不少朋友出主意，要他找找柳王明，因为政府部门的局长，柳王明有更多的发言权。老汤觉得打死也不能去向组织讨官，尤其是在柳王明这样的人面前，“如果我是这样当上了局长，那不光是我的耻辱，我汤家列祖列宗也会蒙羞，我会感到时刻有人戳脊梁骨，也无颜去见阎王爷。” 正因为这样，他在柳王明面前少了很多心理负担，多了几份浩然正气，不在乎他什么。人就是这样，一旦没什么欲望，就真正在精神上彻底获得了解放，就真正有了平常心。什么诱惑也能抵挡得住，真正是无所畏惧的强者。 “老汤啊，我不着急你急什么，我们很长时间没见，也该聊聊。来，你先喝水。”柳王明把秘书倒来的水往老汤面前递过去。 “民政局福利院的基建工程款，还欠一百一十多万，施工单位都要了四年啦，再不还就是逼他们上法庭了。这是老局长手上的事，他退了，现在天天来缠着我，我们报告写了多次，务必请市长考虑一下。” “老汤，实话给你说，这个账我可以还，也可以不还。还，是因为财政欠款，政府有责任。不还也在情理之中。哪一个市长当这样的冤大头，用自己抓来的收入帮前任还债？” 柳王明这一番高论，真是出乎老汤的意料。新官不理旧事，是官场的古训。可那“旧事”却决定一个小本经营施工单位存亡，却是几十个民工一年的血汗钱。多少农民，多少家庭，多少可怜兮兮的期盼和希望啊。四年了！你这人民政府的市长，还都叫“共产党员”，怎么连前任后任都这么不共戴天？不就是一百多万吗，不过市财政九牛一毛。就因为前任后任，忍心让那么多希望破灭吗？ “当然啰，既然你老汤专门为这事找我，我会认真对待这件事的，财政也不缺那一百万嘛。”柳王明看老汤沉默很久没有说话，就接着说。那意思也很明白，这是给你老汤的面子，你别不识抬举。 “好，那我谢了。你忙，我走了。”老汤起身要走。 “等等，我的话还没说呢。”柳王明有些不高兴，示意老汤坐下。 “我去年到香港招商引资，有一个新加坡商人想来中国投资，苦于没好项目。我当时要她到新阳来，给她推荐了七八个工业项目，她都不满意。后来我说你不愿搞'活'的，来个'死'的怎样？” “这话怎讲？”老汤一时摸不着头脑。 “我把你们民政局想建一个新公墓区的设想告诉她，没想到她动了心。当时，她把你们的项目资料要去了。前两天她打电话给办公室，说要来实地考察。你看，这是天上掉陷饼的好事，你们一定要把她拖住，争取她在这里投资，政府全力支持。你想想，外商帮我们投资公益事业，解决了财政资金不足的问题，又为老百姓解决了实际困难，表明了政府把人民生老病死放在议事日程上。一举多得。这也是你们民政局为人民办了一件大好事嘛。” “这个外商不会是慈善家吧？”汤占海不无挖苦地问。 “当然，人家是商人。商人只有永远的利益，无非是让人家经营嘛。具体事你去同她谈，这事只能成功，不准失败。老汤，你是军人出身，军人交给首长的只能是捷报。我看这对你也是一个考验，民政局长不是正缺额吗。” 老汤尽管一头雾水，听到最后两句话还是有些恶心。他不愿多问，在柳王明那里拿了外商的联系电话，就出来了。 “咚—咚—咚，咚—咚—咚—”，手其实并没有敲着门，是自己心跳得厉害，在撞击胸腔发出的声音。柳王明的秘书发现茅秉贵举着手，只是一个敲门的姿势，走上前帮他开了门。一米八零个子，藜黑清廋的脸，背微微有些驼的毛秉贵，像个囚犯似地跟着秘书，瑟缩地来到柳王明办公室，喉咙里含混不清的一声“柳市长，我是郊区官山镇的老茅。” “哦，老茅，茅秉贵，我到过你镇里，记得么？” “嗨，市长，为那次没见到你，我后悔了好几天。嗨，我老娘偏偏那天脑中风，差点过去了。后来才知道你到镇里，我到了家里。你离开镇里，我又赶到了镇里。我一直在想，自己怎么这么没福份。”老茅说这番话时头都不敢抬起来，他不敢正视柳王明的脸。 “老茅，别那么说，我们都为人子女，为人父母，无情未必真豪杰。为国尽忠，为家尽孝，共产党人也应当这么做。你想想，一个病危时的母亲最想见的是什么，当然是自己的儿女。你回家是对的，我不但不批评你，还应当表扬你。我们在全社会倡导传统美德，党员领导干部首先要带头嘛，你说呢？” 几句话，说得茅秉贵心里暖洋洋的，乒乒直跳的心开始平静下来了。茅秉贵目光开始自如地同柳王明交流。他是第一次这么尽距离的看柳王明，原来从电视里面看柳王明长还算标准，方脸盘，五官还端正。今天见了活的柳王明，很憔悴，嘴巴还大，下巴长，两个眼睑太黑，眼神放射着狡黠的目光。不知是室内空调作用还是柳王明的眼光，老茅感到背上有些寒气，他心里又有些不安起来。柳王明的表扬又使他觉得过意不去，支支吾吾地客气起来，“哪里，哪里，柳市长过奖、过奖。” “老茅，你上次托人带的信我看了，我爱人也给我说了你的情况。我在你的信上有个批示，你看看，你满意我就寄给你们区委书记，让他落实。”说完，柳王明从一大堆信件里找出了茅秉贵写给他的那封信信递给他。 茅秉贵双手接过信件，看看柳王明在稿纸空白处批给区委书记的一段文字：茅秉贵同志这封信，我看后很感动，他在农村乡镇领导岗位上工作了近二十年，老母长年卧病在床，爱人没有工作，一双儿女在温州打工。自己没日没夜地奔波在老百姓当中，为了保证乡镇干部和农村教师能按时发放工资，自己带头，党委的同志缓发工资，一年只拿到七个月的工资。我们农业的发展，农村的稳定，正是有了一大批像茅秉贵这样兢兢业业、埋头苦干的农村干部。现在他有困难，我们不能忘记他们。茅秉贵同志要求调区直单位工作的要求不高，请你研究落实，并把结果告诉我。——柳王明。 “老茅，怎么样，满意吗？” “谢谢，谢谢，谢谢。”茅秉贵眼眶里泪水打转，激动得伸过双手，紧紧抓住柳王明按在办公桌上的一只手抖动起来。 “老茅，你先不要激动。我还有件事要交给你办，你离开官山镇前一定要把它办好。有个外商，要在官山征一片山地，为新阳建一个新公墓区。具体谈判由市民政局负责，你们镇党委负责配合外商把地征好。市政府考虑是公益事业，要比其它建设用地适当优惠。我看价格每亩最多不要超过八千，工作要你们去做，怎么样？” “好，好，我一定努力落实市长的指示。” “你完成了这件事，是帮全市人民办了一件大好事，你也功德无量了。” 茅秉贵知道这不是一件简单事。一千亩土地，八千元的价格。现在国家征用郊区农民的土地还要两万多呢。尽管难，柳市长都这样对待你，就是肝脑涂地，也要办好。 他激动地站起来，“柳市长，你放心，我茅秉贵答应的事钉丁铆焊，一个月之后我把土地证拿到外商手里。不这样，你撤我的职。” “行，老茅，你抓紧去办吧，我还有事。”柳王明伸出手来，表示送客。 财政局副局长项灵，是仄着身子进门的，跨进门坎就随手把门关上，按了反锁。这时候柳王明已经离开了坐位，张开双臂，走上前把项灵紧紧的拥抱起来。 “别这样，市长，外面还有人在等你。”项灵的话，言不由衷，她的双手已紧紧搂着柳王明宽大的背膀，两颊在他的胸前激动地摩挲着。 “别急，你该知道我把你安排在最后的原因。让我先亲亲你，再来谈工作。”柳王明把双脚悬起的项灵放下，双手捧着项灵后脑勺，疯狂地吻起来。从她的发际到眉心、两眼，到她的双颊，柳王明热哄哄的舌尖舔过项灵脸上每一寸地方，在她心里卷起阵阵热浪，迅速涌遍全身，集中反映到身下那个地方，热哄哄的开始流动了。 “项灵，这些天我真想你。”柳王明狂吻过后，双目紧盯着项灵，一只手托着她的后脑勺，腾出一只手在她臀部摩挲着。 “别逗我，你那么忙，心里还有我的位置？” “我干嘛骗你。”这时柳王明的手有些不安分了，项灵并不在意，眼睛已经眯成了一条缝，喉胧里发出含混不清的声音。 “这样吧，今晚十点后，你到蒙娜丽莎宾馆1218号房间等我，我等会把钥匙给你，咱们先谈正事。” 项灵莞尔一笑，没有吭声。双手揉搓着两颊，拢拢头发，整理了一下衣裙，坐到了柳王明办公桌的对面。柳王明也回到了座位上，开始言归正传。 “项灵啊，八月份的财政状况怎么样，有些什么问题？” “到二十日止，全市总收入为十五亿八千七百四十六万，增长21％，总支出为十七亿三千二百三十三万，增长27％。包括中央财政转移支付、省财政专项支出，还有去年财政结余接转的资金。”项灵不看笔记本，到背如流地汇报各种数据。说明财政状况。 “从目前情况看，完成今年计划问题不是太大，但七八月的进度明显慢于前两个月，主要是一些县区为了'双过半'收了一点过头税，所以七八月没有达到平均月进度。” 柳王明轻松地微笑着不停地点头，赞成项灵的分析。 “从收入结构分析，今年民营企业上交税收首次达到了40％，说明市政府发展个体私营企业的决策是正确的，增长最快的是个体工商税和民营企业税收，达37％。印花税、房产交易税比去年同期下降，同房地产火爆的市场不相称，是征收力度问题。总收入中，市本级收入增幅不如中央收入增幅，税收收入不如财政自己组织的收入增幅，到是值得注意的问题。说明可用财力比重下降，罚没款增多，农民负担加重。另外，支出结构中，固定资产投资增幅低于非生产开支增幅，特别是行政管理费增幅达到了35％，主要是不少单位领导更换工作用车，还有会议费的大幅攀升。” “好，我完全同意你的分析，把你的分析整理一份给我，最近要开一个新闻发布会，我要在会上讲讲财政的情况。另外，有几笔资金你安排一下。” 项灵从包里掏出笔记本，等着柳王明发话。 “城市建设今年开工项目多，缺口大，要追加一些资金。老干部局经费缺口，要给他们安排。还有民政局的福利大楼工程款一百一十万，我准备帮他们解决算了，你作个安排。中秋节快到了，我要给老同志送点节日礼物，已经交待办公室去办，让他们找你安排点经费，最后是你个人的事。” “我的事，自己是无能为力了，只有全靠你。我把什么都给了你，我不知道怎么办。局里有些人私下在议论这些事，不怀好意。”项灵以企求的目光，不安地看着柳王明。 “你别怕，财政局长人选必须是我说了算。等你正式任命后，那几个副局长我要想办法调整，要不你很难开展工作。放心，有我在，凭你的完全素质能干好。” “来，这是1218的钥匙，你拿着。我接待完国家计委的客人后就去。”柳王明从抽屉里拿出一把钥匙给项灵。
