Chapter 4 Zhang Yongtai's Diary

Deputy county magistrate Zhou Fuquan was like a faucet switch. After he left Hou Weidong's office, people came in one after another to report on their work. Of course, those who can report to the county party secretary's office are the top leaders in Chengjin County.As the deputy secretary of the county party committee, Hou Weidong also needed to have direct contact with the cadres under him. He needed to combine the abstract names on the list with real people.By 11 o'clock, he had already talked with the president of the court, the director of the traffic bureau, and the party secretary of Chengguan town.

It was not until the secretary of the Chengguan Town Party Committee left that the office quietened down.Just as Hou Weidong took out his teacup, the red phone on the table rang again suddenly. It was Du Zhengdong, Secretary of the Municipal Law Committee. Du Zhengdong confessed: "Deng Jiachun and I are coming soon, don't disturb other people, the three of us will meet first, and then formally meet with the county comrades in the afternoon." Hou Weidong said: "Secretary Du, let's meet at the small guest house of the county party committee. It's quiet there." Putting down the red phone, he called Hu Hai, director of the county party committee office, to the office, and said, "Comrade Du Zhengdong, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and the new county party committee Comrade Deng Jiachun, member of the Standing Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau, is going to Chengjin. Lunch will be arranged at Xiaozhao County Party Committee, not at the restaurant, but in the building where I lived that day, I will pack up two rooms and come out.”

Hu Hai had just left, and before Hou Weidong had a sip of tea, Gao Xiaonan, deputy secretary of the county party committee, came to the office.He was very fat, with a bulging belly, smiling like a Maitreya, and said: "The food in the food group is terrible. We went out for lunch at noon. Several comrades in the Propaganda Department wanted to listen to Secretary Hou's speech." Seeing that it was Gao Xiaonan, the deputy secretary, Hou Weidong smiled and said, "Secretary Gao, you're welcome." He reached out and took out a can of good tea from the drawer, handed it to Gao Xiaonan, and said, "This is Yiyang's Qinglin tea, authentic Mingqian tea. The tea tastes good."

Gao Xiaonan is the deputy secretary in charge of propaganda. He has worked as a teacher, as the director of the education bureau, and as the director of propaganda. He has always been on the line of promoting education and culture.In Chengjin, an area with backward economic conditions, this line is not very popular.Gao Xiaonan is a little weak in dealing with people, and he is rather useless among the county leaders. In the previous situation in the county, Li Taizhong, a local snake, gathered a group of people and formed a force of his own in the county. Except for Zhang Yongtai, no one bought it.Deputy Secretary Gao Xiaonan has suffered several times.This time, after Zhang Yongtai died in a car accident, as the deputy secretary, he could strive for a higher level. At first, he also moved his mind and ran around the city, but soon realized that there was nothing to do, so he wholeheartedly waited for the new secretary to take office.

Hou Weidong was young and had a bright future. Gao Xiaonan regarded him as a bull stock, so he wanted to take the initiative to build a good relationship with Hou Weidong and get rid of the passive situation in the county.There was a meeting in the county publicity department in the morning, and I figured it was almost time, so I took the initiative to come over to make connections. "Heh, Yiyang Shangqinglin tea is good tea, and the packaging has been changed, which is very high-end." It is a very friendly and elegant behavior for colleagues to give tea to each other.Gao Xiaonan was not polite and accepted Hou Weidong's gift.

In Yiyang, after Gu Tiejun took over the local product company, the business gradually improved.In addition to Tongganru, he also took Qinglin Tea under his banner.The packaging of the tea has been changed, and the price has also skyrocketed.Although the quality of the tea is basically the same, but after changing the packaging and doubling the price, the sales volume has greatly increased. Every year, Gu Tiejun sent a lot of good tea to the leaders of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee through Hou Weidong's relationship.When Hou Weidong left Shazhou, he deliberately brought more than a dozen cans to his colleagues in Chengjin.

Hou Weidong must unite all forces that can be united.Gao Xiaonan is the deputy secretary, so he should be able to be a good help, so he was very polite to Gao Xiaonan, saying: "Secretary Gao, I'm really sorry, I have an appointment at noon, and I will treat you to dinner another day. You are old Chengjin. You know everything well, and I need your support for many things.” Gao Xiaonan saw that Hou Weidong didn't ask him to have dinner together, so he guessed that he was really busy, picked up the canned tea, and said, "Secretary Hou is too polite, you preside over the work of the county committee, and I support your work 200%. You are busy today, so make an appointment here for this meal first."

At 9 o'clock, Hou Weidong still felt that the matter with Chengjin was like a dog biting a turtle - he had nowhere to say. Sitting in the office at this time, people from all walks of life showed their faces in front of them. While reporting their work, they also expressed their position to the new secretary. . "As long as you are willing to move closer to the organization, it is not a bad thing." Hou Weidong secretly said. The same thing can have different results when viewed from different angles. From the point of view of some people, the person who came to report to work today is a grasshopper and falls with the wind.From Hou Weidong's point of view, these people who report work are closer to the organization, at least they still have the county party committee and county party committee leaders in their hearts.

Seeing that it was almost time, Hou Weidong prepared to go to the county party committee guest house.As soon as she arrived at the door, Li Zhi, the head of the organization, came over. She smiled before saying anything, and said, "Secretary Hou, where are you going for lunch? I invite you." Hou Weidong said apologetically, "I'm sorry, let's try another day, I have something to do at noon." There are a few unfinished tasks in Li Zhi's hands, which are all tasks assigned by Zhang Yongtai. They were originally ready to be implemented, but they were temporarily put on hold because of Zhang Yongtai's car accident.She wanted to invite Hou Weidong to dinner alone, and report these things by the way, to see if Hou Weidong was willing to adjust the township team.

In Chengjin, the deputy secretary in charge of the organization was another person. This person and Zhang Yongtai could not urinate in the same pot. They did several tasks, but without much effect.After Zhang Yongtai reported to Zhou Changquan, he sent this person to the Shazhou Party School to study abroad, and Zhang Yongtai was directly in charge of the organization work. Li Zhi had something about Zhang Yongtai hidden in her heart, and it weighed her down like a boulder and she couldn't breathe.Seeing that there was no one in the aisle at this time, he said, "Secretary Zhang made some adjustments to the personnel work before the car accident. I want to make a report on this matter."

Hou Weidong immediately interrupted Li Zhi, saying: "This matter is discussed separately." He planned to have a conversation with all the standing committee members of the county party committee in the next few days.The first thing to talk about is the organization of work. Rectifying the order of the mining industry will inevitably involve the leading groups of the towns, and it is necessary to make appropriate adjustments to the leading groups of the townships.This matter involves all aspects of interests, it is the distribution of power and interests, and Zhang Yongtai's death is also related to this.He can't express his position in a hurry before he has found out the general situation of Chengjin. Seeing that Li Zhi seemed to have something on his mind, Hou Weidong changed the subject in a timely manner: "Minister Zhao talked with me for a long time. He has high hopes for Chengjin, and he plans to put the pilot project of grassroots organization construction here. This is a very important thing. The specific person in charge of the Organization Department of the municipal party committee is Executive Vice Minister Su Mingjun, who is very concerned about Chengjin’s affairs. Remember to keep in touch with him, and when you need me to come forward, you can just speak up.” The organization department of the municipal party committee has already let the wind out about the pilot project of grassroots organization construction, and the organization departments of Chengjin, Wuhai, Yiyang, and Linjiang counties fought fiercely.The organization department of Chengjin County has a thick copy of the report materials, and even went to work before the Spring Festival, but Director Zhao Dong has not let go.Li Zhi was going to report the matter to Hou Weidong, but he did not expect that the young deputy secretary of the county party committee had already done it quietly.She secretly said: "It's still the old saying, the boss is difficult, the boss is difficult, and the boss is not difficult." She said in her mouth: "Secretary Hou, everything is ready, can't we still manage this pilot project? Don't worry about it Now, please see the results then." Hou Weidong exhorted: "The municipal party committee attaches great importance to the pilot work of grassroots organizations. We must do a solid foundation work, otherwise we will live up to the trust of the leaders and affect our future work." When they arrived at the county party committee guest house, Hu Hai poked his head at the door, helped Hou Weidong open the car door, and said, "Secretary Hou, the room has been arranged." Hou Weidong still didn't dare to fully trust Hu Hai, and said, "I'm going to work hard for you today. Secretary Du has a lunch break after dinner. At 2:30, county magistrate Jiang, Cai Zhenggui, Li Zhi, members of the County Political and Legal Committee, and members of the Public Security Bureau team are invited. Go to the conference room. Secretary Du wants to meet with everyone." Just as he was talking, two small cars appeared at the door of the county party committee guest house. Hou Weidong walked a few steps quickly and said, "Secretary Du, welcome." Du Zhengdong was very satisfied with Hou Weidong and others at the entrance of the county party committee guest house, and introduced him, "This is Comrade Deng Jiachun." Both Hou Weidong and Deng Jiachun were selected by Zhou Changquan himself.The two of them were very clear about the purpose of coming to Chengjin. After looking at each other, Deng Jiachun took a step forward and said, "Secretary Hou, hello." Hou Weidong felt that there were many hard calluses on Deng Jiachun's palm, and thought to himself: "This man is well-known, and it seems to be well-known." He said in his mouth: "I have a deep affection for the police. My father and elder brother are both in the public security system." Deng Jiachun raised his eyebrows, and said with a lukewarm attitude, "Director Hou and the Hou detachment, I am familiar with them." He is short in stature, dark and thin, and his biggest feature is that his two eyebrows are very thick, and when he is angry, his eyebrows stand upright. Very deterrent.When he was at the police station, Wang Bo, who was 1.8 meters tall, and Luo Jinhao, who was a graduate of a major, behaved very well in front of him and dared not make mistakes. The three of them were sitting in the small living room, and Deng Jiachun's first words were: "The Chengjin County Public Security Bureau has too close contact with the local area, and I have to transfer someone." Du Zhengdong stated simply: "Secretary Hou is here, let me say this, all Shazhou public security police, as long as you need them, can be called." Deng Jiachun said: "In addition to the police, we also need to transfer people from the procuratorate." Du Zhengdong said: "No problem, what else do you want?" Deng Jiachun said: "There are no other requirements, please give instructions to the two leaders." Du Zhengdong glanced at Hou Weidong and said, "Secretary Hou, what do you think?" Hou Weidong said: "Jiachun and I are both foreigners. When we first arrived in Chengjin, the so-called strong dragon will not overwhelm the local snake. You have to stand on your feet first, and then slowly operate. Of course, there is no deadline for slow operation, and the current situation is also Don't allow us to take our time, we need to rectify the order of the mining industry in about a year, completely solve the problem of gangsters in Chengjin, and cut off the cancer that is gradually growing." This is the strategic question of how to work in Chengjin. After hearing this, Deng Jiachun let go of the burden in his heart.After accepting the task, I heard that Secretary Zhou Changquan, who was not yet thirty years old, was in charge of the work of the county party committee in Chengjin, so I felt a little nervous.He once said to Du Zhengdong: "Ju Du, Cheng Jin is an old patient, and urgent medicine can't cure the root cause. Hou Weidong is too young, if he can't calm down and is eager to make contributions, I'm afraid something big will happen." Du Zhengdong said: "Don't worry about this. I have had a lot of contact with Hou Weidong. He is young, but he is very prudent in his work. Otherwise, he would not be ordered in danger. You should trust Secretary Zhou." Even so, Deng Jiachun still felt a little suspenseful.After Hou Weidong made his statement, he was relieved and said: "I have carefully studied Zhang Yongtai's file, and went to the accident site quietly the day before yesterday to have a look. According to the existing evidence, it is indeed impossible to determine that it was caused by human beings, but the leadership's suspicion must be It makes sense. I am going to start from the side, and I will keep an eye on whoever is most likely to attack Zhang Yongtai. As long as they make mistakes in other things, we have a chance." Du Zhengdong and Deng Jiachun had repeatedly studied the case, and Deng Jiachun's method was also the thinking of several leaders of the Criminal Police Team of the Municipal Bureau.He encouraged: "Old Deng, you are not fighting alone. With the full support of Secretary Hou, you can call on the power of the Municipal Bureau at any time." Deng Jiachun raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "Since the organization has entrusted me with this burden, I am here to express my position that I will definitely investigate Zhang Yongtai's case to the bottom, uproot the evil forces in Chengjin County, and return the people of Chengjin." A bright and sunny day." Hearing Deng Jiachun's sonorous words, Hou Weidong slapped the table and said, "Secretary Du, I also make a statement. If I don't win Chengjin, I won't go back to Shazhou." At noon, the three of them had a meal without wine in the reception room.At half past two, Hou Weidong accompanied Du Zhengdong, Deng Jiachun and Chengjin to meet. The dinner was arranged at Chengjin Hotel, and all the main leaders of the county attended.Hou Weidong did this to express an attitude with Du Zhengdong and his own identity, to establish prestige for Deng Jiachun, so that he can carry out his work smoothly.Although this kind of reception was too solemn for Deng Jiachun's rank, it was normal because Du Zhengdong, member of the Standing Committee of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and director of the Public Security Bureau, was present. During the whole dinner, Hou Weidong just ordered a glass that was close to two taels, and filled a glass of wine.When he arrived in Chengjin County, he set a rule for himself, as long as it was a formal occasion, drinking was limited to two taels.He is the deputy secretary in charge of the work of the county party committee, and what he says is an instruction. He only drinks two or two drinks when he expresses his position, and other comrades don't persuade him much. Power is magical. As long as there is a halo of power over the head, people will naturally feel awe.Just like the same pile of soil, if it is painted with gold powder and dressed up as a Bodhisattva, it will become a god who guides people and is worshiped by people. After the dinner was over and Du Zhengdong was sent off, Hou Weidong returned to the county party committee guest house.Hu Hai, director of the County Party Committee Office, followed Hou Weidong closely, and accompanied him upstairs into the room.He looked around like a policeman, wiped the bed and the table with his hands, saw that his fingers were dirty, and said angrily: "It's too shameful, how can there be dust in the place Hou Shu remembered, and today's salary must be deducted." Hou Weidong had been a full-time secretary twice, and even if he wanted to flatter the leader, he was very subtle and tactful, and he had never been as explicit as Hu Hai.But he didn't embarrass Hu Hai face to face, and said, "Director Hu, I've been tired all day, so I should rest early." Hu Hai was still circling in the bathroom, constantly criticizing the waiter for not changing towels and mopping the floor in time. Regarding Hu Hai's seriousness and responsibility, Hou Weidong didn't take it seriously, and secretly said: "The director of the county party committee should be an important assistant to the county party secretary. If he can only do these small things, he will be at a disadvantage. No wonder Zhang Yongtai never let Hu Hai join the county party committee." Member of the Standing Committee. A person like Hu Hai is located in the central area, not enough to succeed, but more to fail. This person should not be in the county committee for a long time." Hu Hai was still showing his courtesy, trying to gain the trust of Secretary Hou as soon as possible, but he never thought that in Hou Weidong's heart, he had already been classified as untrustworthy. "Director Hu, contact the leaders in charge of urban construction tomorrow, as well as the TV station, and gather at the county party committee office at 9 o'clock." When Hu Hai was about to leave, Hou Weidong began to implement the little tricks taught by Zhou Changquan. Hu Hai quickly took out a small notebook from his pocket, sat down at the table, and carefully wrote down Hou Weidong's instruction. After Hu Hai left, Hou Weidong finally calmed down. As soon as he turned on the TV, he heard several rhythmic knocks on the door. It was a waitress who entered the door. She was about twenty years old, with good features and a few pockmarks on her face. She looked timidly handsome.After entering, I introduced myself: "Secretary Hou, my name is Chunlan, I am the waiter in the small guest house, and I will serve you exclusively. I didn't do a good job today, please criticize the leader." Seeing that there were tears still in the corners of her eyes, Hou Weidong smiled and said, "Criticized by Director Hu?" Chunlan lowered her head and said, "It's because I didn't do my job well." Hou Weidong joked, "I'm not a dandy, and I still need someone to wait on me." Chunlan saw that Secretary Hou had a very good attitude, unlike some leaders who always have a straight face, she was a little more courageous, and said: "It is my job to serve the leaders. The internal phone number in my room is XXXXXXXX. What's the matter with Secretary Hou? Just dial this number. Do you want supper tonight? I'll let the kitchen prepare it." Hu Hai has already written the internal service number and posted it next to the phone at the door.Hou Weidong said: "Okay, I know, just call if you have anything to do." He listened to Chunlan's conversation, and said, "Are you a regular worker or a temporary worker? Are you a high school student?" Chunlan's expression slowly relaxed: "My dad used to work in the county party committee guest house. I came to work after graduating from high school as a regular worker, and now I am studying at the Radio and Television University." Chunlan is one of the few regular workers in the county party committee guest house. , People are also beautiful.Hu Hai chose left and right before letting her serve Hou Weidong. After Hu Hai left Hou Weidong's room, he severely criticized Chunlan.Chunlan has a strong temper, remembering what her father used to say, "The bigger the official, the easier it is to speak. The ones who are really difficult to speak are those small officials." After Hu Hai left, she quickly wiped away her tears and went directly to Hou Weidong. It was exactly as her father said. , Hou Weidong is really easy to talk. "I don't want to be a waiter for the rest of my life." When Chunlan walked out of Hou Weidong's room, she encouraged herself again in her heart. In the darkness, there was a figure hiding in the shade of a tree, observing Hou Weidong's house.When Chunlan came out, she looked at it for a while and was sure that no one was going to look for Hou Weidong again, so she hugged the documents in her hand and hurried in. After a busy day, Hou Weidong finally calmed down. He just took out his mobile phone and was about to call Xiaojia when he heard a knock on the door with a clear rhythm.He sighed, put down the phone, and said, "Please come in." Another woman came in. Although it was autumn, this woman had a cold feeling on her body. Judging from her clothes and temperament, she was obviously not a waiter at the county party committee guest house. "Are you Secretary Hou Weidong?" The visitor asked cautiously. Although she knew that Hou Weidong was young, when she saw the real person, she still felt that he was too young for a county magistrate, and she was secretly beating drums in her heart. Hou Weidong looked a little strange when he saw the woman, and said: "I'm Hou Weidong, what do you need from me?" He secretly said: "The county committee entertains all the guards, it's already night, why do you let anyone in?" The woman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I am Zhang Song, Zhang Yongtai's daughter. I have something important to report to you." Hearing that she was Zhang Yongtai's daughter, Hou Weidong became solemn and said, "Please sit down." He closed the door and poured Zhang Song a glass of water. Zhang Song saw Hou Weidong closing the door sensitively, secretly had some hope, and said: "Secretary Hou, I..." Hou Weidong stretched out his hand, and said, "Go into the back room and talk." When he got to the back room, Hou Weidong closed the door, and then said, "Please talk." Zhang Songdao: "My elder brother and I sorted out father's belongings and found a diary in the study." She raised her voice sharply and said, "My father was not in a car accident, he was killed by someone." After receiving the copy from Zhang Song, Hou Weidong said, "A copy?" Zhang Song said: "I keep the original, the court doesn't believe in copies." Zhang Yongtai has a beautiful running script. After reading a few pages, Hou Weidong can confirm that this is indeed Zhang Yongtai's diary.Each diary is very short, mostly about work and life.One of them caught Hou Weidong's attention: "These scumbags actually called me and threatened me with death. The crazier they are, the more they have a guilty conscience. Persistence is victory. I must clean up these worms completely." wiped out." Hou Weidong asked warily, "When did you find this diary?" Zhang Songdao: "I read this diary by chance, and then I realized that my father died strangely." "Why give it to me? Why should you trust me?" "You are the new county party secretary from Chengjin, and you have no entanglements with the local area." "Who else knows this diary?" "My elder brother sent the diary to Secretary Zhou." Hou Weidong breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "With this diary, it indirectly proves that Secretary Zhou's judgment is correct." He said solemnly: "This matter must be kept secret, and outsiders must not let it know, so as not to lead to murder." disaster." Zhang Song said eagerly: "Secretary Hou, the murderer must be brought to justice, otherwise father will die with regret." Hou Weidong could not disclose Zhou Changquan's arrangement in front of Zhang Song, saying: "You have to trust the county committee, we will not let any bad guys go. However, just based on Secretary Zhang's diary, we cannot conclude that it was not a car accident. We still need to do in-depth and detailed investigation work." He was very cautious and did not make a clear statement in front of Zhang Song. "Father died for Chengjin. If the municipal party committee does not give a fair explanation and punish the murderer, I will go to the provincial party committee and the central government to sue." Since his father's death, in a short period of time, Zhang Song has experienced There are too many human feelings.Seeing Hou Weidong's unclear attitude at this time, disappointment appeared on his face, and there was a hint of anger. If it is true that someone plotted against Zhang Yongtai, Zhang Song's complaint behavior is very likely to lead to death.Hou Weidong didn't want Zhang Yongtai's daughter to be hurt again, and said solemnly: "You have to trust the organization, Secretary Zhou, and me. Our hearts are with your father. You don't have to doubt that. Your mood I understand that Chengjin is very complicated, and to deal with these things well, you can't be emotional, you have to pay attention to strategy." Zhang Song said: "Then I will wait and see." Seeing Zhang Song's emotional instability, Hou Weidong softened his tone and said, "Where do you work?" Zhang Yongtai was transferred to Chengjin County two years ago. Judging by Zhang Song's age, he probably doesn't work in Chengjin.Hou Weidong did not want Zhang Song to appear in Chengjin County at this time.Before I was fully prepared, her appearance was very likely to cause unexpected complications and disrupt the overall deployment. "I work for the State Revenue Department of Sabah." "You have to keep the original diary well. Except for Secretary Zhou and me, don't mention this notebook to anyone else, so as not to cause trouble." Zhang Song smiled miserably, and said, "To avenge my father, I will go all out." Hou Weidong took a piece of paper, wrote his phone number, and said: "This is my mobile phone number, which is switched on 24 hours a day. You can call me at any time, and you must notify me as soon as you encounter anything. I, don't act rashly." After Zhang Song left, Hou Weidong immediately called Zhou Changquan's family. Zhou Changquan said, "What? Zhang Zhu came to me with a diary? What's in the diary?" After listening to the contents of the diary, Zhou Changquan pondered and said: "When Zhang Yongtai reported to me about his work, he mentioned this to me as a joke. Let her have another accident." After talking with Zhou Changquan on the phone, Hou Weidong wanted to call Deng Jiachun again, but after thinking about it, he gave up.He secretly warned: "As the coach of a side, you must make a decision before making a move, and don't be impetuous." The next morning, Hou Weidong got up early and went to the yard to do exercises.Facing the complex situation like a spider's web in Chengjin County, he must maintain vigorous energy, and only with a healthy body can he have a more positive attitude. After exercising, Hou Weidong met the waiter Chunlan on the stairs.Chunlan smiled sweetly and said, "Secretary Hou, what's for breakfast? I'll serve it." "There is no special request, and you can eat whatever you have." Hou Weidong originally wanted to eat in a small restaurant, but after thinking about it, when he arrived at the small restaurant, he had to face all kinds of people.He would rather be more bureaucratic, let the waiter deliver breakfast to the room, and have a quiet morning where he can think about various issues. After receiving an affirmative answer, Chunlan happily went to the small restaurant. After a while, she came to Hou Weidong's room with a basin. The breakfast was very rich, with four small buns, a bowl of porridge, a plate of pickles, an egg, and a glass of milk. It was hot and exuded an attractive aroma.Hou Weidong boasted: "It's well matched and very appetizing." Chunlan was praised and left with a smile on her face.After Hou Weidong left the room, she returned to Hou Weidong's room with the key specially assigned to her by the guest house.The house is still the same house, and the facilities are still those facilities, but after Hou Weidong moved in, the whole room became different, with a little more mystery and a more masculine taste. When Hou Weidong got up, he folded the quilt hastily, not neatly.Chunlan reopened the quilt and carefully folded it into a square.Seeing the changed clothes at the bedside, he took a wooden basin from the bathroom, put the short-sleeved shirt and trousers in, and saw a pair of underwear.Seeing this man's very intimate items, the unmarried Chunlan's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart beat a lot faster.She carefully picked up the panties with two fingers, put them into the wooden basin, and then went to the bathroom with the wooden basin, arranged the washing utensils neatly, and wiped the sink clean with a rag.Thinking of the handsome, majestic and kind Hou Weidong, she secretly said: "If I can marry a man like Secretary Hou, I will be satisfied."
