Chapter 19 third quarter

I'm ten minutes late for the mayor's office meeting. The mayor and deputy mayors were all waiting for me, but no one asked me why I was late. I know I have to speak up. "I'm sorry, I couldn't sleep last night, and in the morning, I slept like a pig," I said. Someone laughed, and no one asked me the reason for my insomnia.I don't think I can take the initiative to say the reason for my insomnia, right? Mayor Jiang said: "Okay, let's have a meeting now." The topic of the meeting is to summarize this year's work and draw up plans for next year.

First, each deputy mayor will give a speech on the current year's work and next year's plan of the system in charge. Li Lun, deputy mayor of the economy, took the lead.He held the manuscript in his hand, but he talked to everyone with his eyes, with a confident look like an old deputy mayor who is familiar with the industry and has a long-term vision.In fact, he has been deputy mayor for less than two months, and his qualifications are as junior as mine.But he is indeed sophisticated and seasoned, and the content of his speech is eloquent and seems to be seeking truth from facts. I secretly sweated for myself.When others were speaking, I memorized the summary and plan written by my secretary Meng Fei, and I didn't even dare to go to the toilet.

I memorized it all morning, and it wasn't my turn to speak yet. Mayor Jiang announced an hour's break at noon before continuing the meeting. Li Lun walked into my office with a lunch box in his hand.He saw me staring at my box lunch in a daze, and said, are you not hungry or can't eat?I don't say anything.He suddenly remembered something, kicked my desk, and said oops!Why don't you change the position of the desk?Seeing that I didn't move, he put the lunch box on the table and said, let's move it over. I said, "Don't move!" Li Lun looked at me, "What's the matter with you?"

I said, "Nothing." "Nothing?" Li Lun said, "Your jealousy is like killing someone. Who made you hate so much? I haven't provoked you these days." I said, "You're messing with me now!" Li Lun said: "Did I offend you? Why did I offend you?" He looked aggrieved, "Hey, I saw that you were not in the right shape during the meeting in the morning. I came here to care about you and help you adjust your state. Don't speak in the afternoon." Make a fool of yourself. Is this going to offend you? I’m being treated like a donkey by you. Okay, I won’t mess with you, I’m leaving!” He picked up his boxed lunch and walked out while eating.

I threw my box lunch in the trash because it got a fly in it. The mayor's office will continue to speak, and it's my turn. But I forgot all the content I memorized in the morning, and I didn't want to read it according to the manuscript, so I let go of my temper and courage to speak. "...Because I have been in office for less than two months, and I have not been in Ningyang for half a month, I have not yet had a deep and comprehensive understanding of the science and education system in charge. The summary of the work of the science and education system for this year and the plan for next year It was written by the secretary, and it will not be read in the typed manuscript in my hand. I just want to talk about my thoughts and suggestions on what is not in the manuscript and the problems I found.”

I looked at Mayor Jiang and got his approval. "I found that among our cadres in Ningyang City, there are fake academic qualifications and fake diplomas. Although it is found to be individual, the circumstances are serious and the nature is also bad. For example, Huang Yongyuan, the deputy director of the Education Bureau who presided over the overall work, His undergraduate diploma from Beijing Normal University was forged. Huang Yongyuan only studied at Beijing Normal University for one year, and what he obtained was a certificate of completion, but on his resume, it was written that he graduated from Beijing Normal University. There is a copy of his undergraduate diploma. Where did his undergraduate diploma come from? It is undoubtedly a forgery, bought from the fake certificate market! According to reports from the masses, cadres in Ningyang who hold fake diplomas and forged academic qualifications There are quite a few more, and there are even a lot of them! I came out of college, and based on my inference and analysis, fake diplomas are generally obtained through the following two means and channels. One is to buy them directly from the fake certificate market. This is true. Fake diplomas; the second is that colleges and universities issue illegal diplomas, which are fake real diplomas. That is to say, some people have not even entered the school, and their diplomas and academic qualifications are purely fraudulent. Although some have entered the school, they do not have the qualifications to obtain equivalent diplomas. Qualifications and conditions, so some colleges and universities are used for lax checks or profit-seeking, and other people impersonate, find gunmen to take the exam or trade power and money to obtain the required diplomas. I think these methods are equally bad! And our functional departments lack The effective verification mechanism and supervision mechanism for diplomas have caused the unimpeded phenomenon of fake diplomas and fishing in troubled waters. Science and education are the foundation of rejuvenating the country, which is a principle that all those in power understand. Science education is the key to cultivating and improving the quality of citizens. But , Corruption in science education has shaken the foundation of the country. The phenomenon of fake diplomas is a kind of corruption. If this kind of corruption is allowed to spread, it will be a disaster for the country, and Ningyang City is no exception. Therefore, sweeping away fake diplomas, Purifying the science and education environment will be the focus of Ningyang's science and education work next year. I suggest that a Ningyang working group for checking fake diplomas be established to comprehensively investigate, clean up and deal with fake diplomas. My speech is over."

The conference room was suddenly as quiet as a cave.People held their breath like they were dodging a bomb attack. Mayor Jiang broke the silence, "Vice Mayor Zhang has finished speaking, please express your opinions." No comments. "No one has any opinions, so let me say," Mayor Jiang took a sip of water, "Deputy Mayor Zhang is concise and to the point, but hits the current problems of Ningyang City, very good! I agree with his suggestion to set up Ningyang City to check fake diplomas For the working group, Comrade Zhang Wenlian will be the team leader. The leading members of the working group must ensure that the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Organization Department, the Supervision Bureau and the Personnel Bureau each have a deputy or higher leader to participate. The leading members of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Organization Department will participate in the working group. It was proposed at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. In addition, Huang Yongyuan, the deputy director who is currently in charge of the overall work of the Education Bureau, will no longer be in charge of the overall work of the Education Bureau. Instead, Tang Jin, the deputy director, will be in charge of the overall work of the Education Bureau. Let’s deal with it later. If you don’t have any comments, I will submit these matters to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee for discussion and approval.”

Lin Hu, executive deputy mayor, said: "I agree." Li Lun followed suit. All the other deputy mayors agreed. Like an air-raid shelter that has been de-alarmed, the conference room comes alive again, turning to another topic. The meeting lasted until seven o'clock in the evening.After summing up, Mayor Jiang said, let's have a meal together. Several deputy mayors who originally had entertainment or banquets called in the corridor to push down the planned entertainment or banquets.Only I don't fight. Mayor Jiang came up from behind me and put his hand on my shoulder.

I am flattered. "I'll have a few drinks with you tonight," Mayor Jiang said as he walked by my shoulder, "I heard you have a good capacity for alcohol." "Where," I said, "I get drunk easily." Mayor Jiang said: "Who told you to drink foreign wine? Especially whiskey, once you drink it, you will feel dizzy and hurt." When I heard this, I stopped and looked at Mayor Jiang in surprise.Because what I drank last night was foreign wine and whiskey.How did he know?Could it be... "Oh, it's nothing, I guessed it." Mayor Jiang explained, smiling secretly.

Mayor Jiang's smile made me even more suspicious.The whole dinner party was full of question marks in my head. After the banquet was over, I grabbed Li Lun and told him not to leave.Li Lun said that I was about to hold you back and tell you not to leave.I said you should find a place quickly, I have something to ask you.Li Lun said you wait for me to pee. In the bathroom, I couldn't wait to ask Li Lun who was taking out his things: "Tell me, who is the woman you are connecting with Mayor Jiang?" Li Lun said: "I said, you will know when it is done." "I want you to tell me now."

Li Lun shook his head. "Tell me quickly!" "I can't pee!" Li Lun gritted his teeth and said, "But my bladder is about to explode." "Tell me if it explodes." Li Lun said, "Can you tell me to pee out?" I nodded and stared at Li Lun. Li Lun still didn't pee out. "Don't look at me." I turned my head away. "You sprinkle it with me, so I can sprinkle it!" I heard Li Lun say. I followed Li Lun's advice and drove him to urinate. Looking at Li Lun who was so quick to put his pants back, I said, "Tell me, who is it?" Li Lun wanted to play tricks and not say anything.I grabbed his trousers, "Don't you say so?" Then I pulled his trousers down.Li Lun pulled up vigorously, and I then pulled down vigorously.Pulling back and forth, up and down, Li Lun's trousers were like a bag full of ham that couldn't be closed. "It's a lawyer!" Li Lun had to say. I still grabbed his pants, "what's his name?" Li Lun said, "Can you be so careful without asking, brother?" "Is her surname Mo? Mo Xiaoping?" I said. Li Lun was startled, stared at me, and said angrily, "You fucking know and still ask me? Take your hands away!" I let go, wishing I could slap myself with this hand.All my doubts have been confirmed - Mo Xiaoping is the candidate for Mayor Jiang's new wife, and the man who talked to her on the phone at the Hawaiian Hotel last night is Mayor Jiang, what I drink must be Mo Xiao Ping told Mayor Jiang.What I didn't expect was that Mo Xiaoping and Mayor Jiang were actually bridged by Li Lun!How could Li Lun introduce Mo Xiaoping to Mayor Jiang?What is he thinking? I said, "Li Lun!" Li Lun is no longer by my side. I turned around and saw Li Lun pushing open the toilet doors one by one, checking to see if anyone was inside. In the toilet room inside, we saw a man sitting on the toilet, looking at us in fear. "I didn't hear anything," he said. Li Lun turned around and turned his face, his two fire-breathing eyes were almost close to my eyelashes, "Are you satisfied now? By this time tomorrow, this matter will be spread all over the city! You are fucking dead I don't count, but I still want to harm Mayor Jiang! Do you know?" I said, "I didn't know there was anyone in the toilet." Li Lun stretched his hand towards someone's toilet room, his eyes were still staring at me, "Isn't that a human? Ah? Is that a mouth on that person's face? That's a loudspeaker! Broadcasting!" I felt the problem was serious, moved my body, and looked at the person who might spread the mayor's privacy to the public and become a scandal.He has stood up and pulled up his pants, but his expression is still very nervous and terrified, like a carrier of a deadly virus, which has been discovered by government personnel.As long as he goes out, he will infect others with the virus, causing a plague.So he couldn't move, he thought he couldn't get out.This is an old man in a suit and no tie. The old man stared at me in panic, but said in a tone of complaint: "I really didn't hear anything. I'm an intellectual. My daughter is getting married today. I feel sick to my stomach. I may not be used to seafood. I'm here to pull I’m not here to eavesdrop. I’m a retired middle school teacher, so I’m an intellectual anyway. My daughter and son-in-law also work for the government. I know what to say and what not to say. Don’t worry, huh?” I looked at Li Lun and asked him if he heard what the old man said. Li Lun said to the old man, "Let's go." I said to the old man, "I'm sorry, uncle. You go slowly." The old man said thank you, and then quickly walked out of the bathroom as if he had escaped from danger. "Don't worry, you won't fall short." I said to Li Lun.The sullenness on his face was still there, and there were still lingering fears. "If this thing goes wrong, you should kneel down and apologize to the mayor yourself." "The mayor doesn't have to, because I think there are many candidates for the mayor's wife," I said, "but I will say sorry to Mo Xiaoping." "By the way, how did you know about Mo Xiaoping?" Li Lun said. I said, "When Cao Ying and I divorced, Cao Ying entrusted her to go through the formalities with me." "Oh, there is a grudge." Li Lun said. "What about you? How did you know Mo Xiaoping?" I said. "Don't you only hang out with pretty women?" Li Lun said: "When I was in the Provincial Planning Commission, I had to sign many contracts and agreements with various departments every year. I didn't know any of the lawyers in Ningyang? Besides, Mo Xiaoping is a barrister." "I admit it, her talent is inversely proportional to her looks," I said, "but you put mediocre looks..." "To be a wife is not to be a lover," Li Lun interrupted me, "Do you understand that a wife can't be beautiful? But she must have a handsome appearance. Mo Xiaoping is not good-looking, but she is a handsome appearance. Who Whoever marries her will prosper. My wife is not good-looking, but she prospers me, understand? You cannot marry a beautiful woman. Is Cao Ying beautiful enough? You marry her as your wife, what will happen in the end? Divorce with you. Why did you leave me? She is beautiful! You don’t feel at ease with a beautiful wife locked up at home, let alone go outside, to a foreign country? Also, how many years has she been married to you, has she favored you? You have been an associate professor for eight years, comment Did you become a professor? Not rated. But you divorced her, and soon became the deputy mayor, prosperous! The ugly wife is prosperous, this is fortunetelling, if you don’t believe it, you can’t.” "Ugly Wife Wangfu, Mayor Jiang also believes this?" I said. Li Lun said: "I think you are the only one who doesn't believe it. If you don't believe me, try marrying Mi Wei?" I scowled, "Don't mention her, okay?" "Don't mention it?" Li Lun looked at me, "Mi Wei is now at the reception office of the city government, didn't you get it in? I wanted to hold you back just now, and I asked you this question." "You should ask Jiang Xiaoyong this question!" I said. "Jiang Xiaoyong?" Li Lun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slapped his head, "Damn it! It's exciting now. My sister is going to marry the mayor, and my sister is going to marry the mayor's son. If they all succeed, what do you call them? ?” "My younger sister is my sister, my son is my father, my brother-in-law, my father is my daughter-in-law, my son is my stepmother, my sister is my brother-in-law and my son." I said. When Li Lun heard this, he was dumbfounded again, then squatted down suddenly, holding his head in distress, "What should I do now? What should I do now?" "Let them go, maybe it's what they want." I said, "What is kissing and kissing, this is called kissing and kissing." "Does Mo Xiaoping know about Mi Wei and Jiang Xiaoyong?" Li Lun looked up at me and said, "It's for sure that Mi Wei doesn't know about Mo Xiaoping and Mayor Jiang." I said, "I don't know." "Is it because you don't know or Mo Xiaoping doesn't know?" "have no idea." Li Lun stood up abruptly, "No, we have to find a way to separate Mi Wei and Jiang Xiaoyong! We have to find a way! Otherwise, it would be a mess!" "Us? I won't be with you again." "Collaboration? How can this be collusion?" Li Lun said, "This is to uphold the principles of ethics, and everyone is responsible, not to mention that we are popular people around the mayor. You see how much the mayor supports you and pampers you today! It's praise, it's shoulder-to-shoulder, huh?" "If you want to be a celebrity, you can do it. I don't want to be this kind of celebrity." Li Lun looked at me contemptuously, "You dare not do it, right? Well, I'll do it. It's actually very simple, saying that Mi Wei is a chicken, as long as someone passes the word to Jiang Xiaoyong's ears..." I grabbed Li Lun with my left hand, shook my fist with my right hand and shouted, "I don't care what you do, but you can't ruin Mi Wei's reputation! Do you think she hasn't been ruined enough by you?" Li Lun covered his face with his hands and said, "Okay, I'll find another way." Then someone walked into the bathroom.I let Li Lun go. The one who entered the bathroom was the old man who was scared away just now, an intellectual who promised to keep his mouth shut.He must have had diarrhea again.Seeing us, he turned and ran away in fright again. "Uncle, don't run away!" I hurriedly shouted, "Sir? Old Mister?" I walked to the door of the bathroom, looked up, and the old man was gone. "I can no longer guarantee that the mayor's privacy will not become a storm in the city tomorrow," I turned around and said, "because a well-educated intellectual is likely to have shit in his crotch by now, humiliating his elegance and dignity, He has the right to shout and stretch!" I pointed my hand at Li Lun, "But this account must be settled on your head!" I patted my butt, left Li Lun, who was in despair, and left. I start tomorrow, compensatory rest. What I was worried or expected to happen did not happen. People in Ningyang City still have a good reputation for Mayor Jiang, which is most representative of taxi drivers. I took a taxi to work today after four days of compensatory rest. But for the past four days, I was resting, but I was worried-because of the news that Mayor Jiang had a new love that I accidentally leaked in the toilet on the night of the 25th, I was worried that it would become a scandal.Although I put the blame on Li Lun, but if there is any trouble, I will not be able to get rid of it.For four days, I turned off my cell phone, unplugged the phone line, locked myself in confinement, and closed the door to reflect or think about my mistakes.I don't leave the house, but my heart is like an ant on a hot pot.I hope that the driver Wei Hai and the secretary Meng Fei will come to knock on my door, because I told them before that if there is something wrong, they will come to notify me.But they never come.I endured four rough days. I sat in a taxi like a college lecturer on his way to town to pick up a markdown.Because I started from the gate of Dongxi University, the taxi driver believed in it.As soon as I got in the car, the driver said I was going to Likron, right?I didn't understand what it meant, but my mouth responded rightly.The driver was a little proud, and went on to say that today's Likelong store celebration, all products except electrical appliances are 40% off, and it's only two hours in the morning, from nine to eleven o'clock. If you don't go now, it will be too late.I said so I called.The driver said that the taxi from the university professor is not a problem, right?I said do you think I look like a professor?He said that there are a lot of young professors now, and after getting a Ph.D., they can be promoted to professors after two years.I said you don't even look back at me, how do you know I'm young?He said I had seen you when you got in the car.I said, how do you think I am a professor?The driver said that I saw the picture of you walking.When you walk with your chest up, you are either an official or a professor. You came out of Dongda, so I think you are a professor, right?I said no, I'm just a lecturer.The driver looked back at me in surprise and said no, right?I said that only lecturers are willing to boast that they are professors. How can any professor be willing to say that he is a lecturer?He said it was.Now many people call the head of the department, the head of the department, the head of the department, and the mayor, but they are actually deputy. How can there be so many heads of departments and mayors?The mayor, we see each other on TV every day, can anyone be fooled? "Who is the current mayor of Ningyang City?" I pretended not to understand. "You don't know?" the taxi driver said incredulously. I said: "University teachers spend all day in books, and they are very ignorant about social affairs." The taxi driver believed it and said, "Let me tell you, the mayor of Ningyang City is surnamed Jiang, and his name is Jiang Chunwen." "Oh," I said, "how is this guy?" "Not bad!" said the taxi driver, and gave a thumbs up. "After he became the mayor, Ningyang City has really changed a lot! The streets are much wider, the traffic jams are less, the buildings are more, the hair salons are less, the grass There are more crops and less cowhide. This is all due to our Mayor Jiang. We have such a mayor, which is the blessing of our Ningyang people!" He used us three times in a row. I said, "Have you heard any bad rumors about Mayor Jiang's life?" The driver shook his head, "No! If there is, our taxi driver must be the first to know." "Not recently?" The driver said no again, "However, Ningyang recently passed away a director, a woman. I heard that she was our mayor's wife. If it is true, it will be hard for our Mayor Jiang. He is such a good person. Why didn't the gods bless his family? I hope it's not true." "Have you heard anything else?" I said. "That's all, no more," said the taxi driver. "It's hard enough to hear." I had been leaning forward and leaned back, leaning on the back of the chair, like a person who has been relieved of labor pains, and felt very comfortable.I couldn't help thinking of the old intellectual who was scared away by me and Li Lun. Even if he shit in his crotch, he still insisted on maintaining the dignity and image of the mayor and kept his mouth shut.What he did and didn't do made me feel ashamed and ashamed. I asked the taxi driver to drive the car to Likron mall and got off there because I had to pack the university lecturer to the end. Li Kelong shopping mall was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, trying to rush in, but the police and security guards had already formed a embankment to block people from entering. So I hailed a taxi on the side of the road like a citizen who was too late to find a bargain. I got out of the car three hundred meters away from the city hall.I cannot be mistaken for a complainant or petitioner, nor do I wish to reveal my identity. Secretary Meng Fei reported that the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee had approved the proposal of the municipal government to set up a working group for checking fake diplomas, and the list of leading members of the working group had also been confirmed. I see the list in the file as follows: There are four people on the list including me, and the word "deputy" is the word in front of the title.I don't know how much such a few assistants can do?Dare to be tough?And this list means that we can only check the diplomas of people whose positions are lower than ours, that is to say, we can only beat mice, not tigers.But it's also good to hit the mice first.As the saying goes, pull out a carrot and bring out mud, and killing a chicken can also scare the monkey. "Have you decided on the staff of the working group?" I asked Meng Fei. Meng Fei said: "Not yet. The personnel are determined by the leading group and drawn from various departments." "You inform the members of the leading group to have a meeting in the afternoon." I said. Mengfei went out to make a phone call.After a while, he came back and said, "Deputy Mayor Zhang and Vice Minister Wei Chaosheng are going to the Education Bureau in the afternoon to announce Tang Jin's decision to preside over the overall work of the Education Bureau in place of Huang Yongyuan. They will not be able to attend the afternoon meeting. Do you want to reschedule?" I said let's do it tomorrow. Meng Fei stood still and looked at me, as if he wanted to say something. I said, "Let's talk." "As for the staff of the working group, I don't think we can absorb people who have problems with their own diplomas." Mengfei said. "Of course! Strict inspection before coming in." I said, suddenly stunned, "No more? What do you mean? Do you mean that there are people with questionable diplomas among the leadership members?" Meng Fei said, "I didn't say that." I said, "Who the hell?" Meng Fei looked at me in pain and looked at me with pitiful eyes, hoping that I would stop asking. I said ok, you can remind me that it's not easy to get to this point.Thank you. Mengfei was relieved, like an amnesty. I am in the office, but I feel like I am sitting on pins and needles, as if I am facing an enemy.Among the leading members who checked out fake diplomas were those who held fake diplomas, which is not bad!What should I do?Doesn't this mean that there are spies within a team?Who is this spy?one or two? I was in danger, and felt like the wise and brave detective in the movie "Infernal Affairs" who still died with a black gun in the end.
