Chapter 11 people have to understand

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, winter is here. Driving on the wide road was originally a pleasant thing, but under the howling north wind, the southern new district is too empty, and the weeds and scaffolding look quite bleak in the cold wind. Hou Weidong knew that Zhou Changquan was very concerned about the southern new area. Whenever he was free, he would drive the bluebird car to the southern new area, and often watched every move here. At this time, driving on the road in the development zone early in the morning, looking at the weeds growing as tall as a person in the large area of ​​enclosed land, Hou Weidong secretly said: "If you want to revitalize the southern new area in a short period of time, Gao Jian has a very heavy task. , you have to put in a lot of effort.”

Turning around in the southern new area, seeing that it was already 8:00, Hou Weidong drove to the parking lot outside the municipal party committee compound, parked the car, and walked to the gate of the compound. It was already 8:17. At the gate, cadres of the municipal party committee entered the compound one after another. Hou Weidong walked eastward for more than a hundred meters and stood at a street corner, which was the place Secretary Zhou Changquan had to pass by on his way to work. He lit a cigarette and was smoking it when he saw Ji Daolin, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, coming from the opposite street with a bag. Hou Weidong greeted him with a smile, extinguished the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the trash can.

Ji Daolin stopped and said, "Are you waiting for Secretary Zhou?" Hou Weidong said: "Secretary Zhou is not allowed to pick up and drop off, I will wait here." Ji Daolin said earnestly and sincerely: "You are now in a sensitive position and have great responsibilities. You must strictly discipline yourself, study more, and reflect on yourself at all times. You are an excellent graduate of Shazhou University. I hope you can go further and bring glory to your alma mater. " Hou Weidong nodded quickly, and said: "Secretary Ji, don't worry, I will definitely remember your words, always be vigilant, introspective, and self-disciplined."

When Ji Daolin left, Hou Weidong couldn't help but took out the cigarette again. Before he lit it, he saw Zhou Changquan appearing across the street with a handbag in his hand. He hurried over, took the handbag without any explanation, and said, "Secretary Zhou, I'll come pick you up with Ma Bo tomorrow." Zhou Changquan shook his hand and said, "No need, walking for half an hour a day can give you at least ten more years of life. I used to rely too much on cars, but these days I walk to work in the morning, and my mental state is really good." Hou Weidong was half a step slower than Zhou Changquan, so that he would not be offside and could communicate with Zhou Changquan normally.

"At 9:30 this morning, the leader and deputy team leader of the 'Three Stresses' leading group, please go to the 'Three Stresses' office together, and then contact the 'Three Stresses' office to confirm the time when the supervisory team will arrive in Shazhou. " The two walked to the gate of the Municipal Committee, and saw Hong Ang, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee and secretary-general, walking to the gate. After the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China promulgated the "Opinions on Intensifying the Education of Party Spirit and Party Style with "Teaching Learning, Politics, and Righteousness" as the Main Content among Party and Government Leading Groups and Leading Cadres Above the County Level, Lingxi Province immediately issued a To carry out the "Three Stresses" document, Zhu Jianguo, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, made a special trip to Shazhou a few days ago, and convened a meeting with members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, the Chairman and Deputy Director of the National People's Congress, government leaders, and the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the CPPCC, emphasizing the importance of the "Three Stresses" education sex.

Zhou Changquan has experienced vicissitudes and is very politically sensitive. He attaches great importance to the "Three Stresses" education activities. In addition to normal procedures, he also initiated the "'Three Stresses' education, starting from small things" in the municipal leading organizations. First of all, he proposed to cancel the system of taking leaders to work by bus, and walked home that night. In this atmosphere, Shazhou-level leaders all walk to and from get off work. Soon, this practice was popularized, and all department-level cadres in the department and county began to walk to work, which has also become a scenic spot in Shazhou City.Of course, this is a matter for the benevolent to see the benevolent and the wise to see the wisdom, and the common people have mixed opinions, but most people think that this is because the rabbit's tail can't grow.

Once Hou Weidong had dinner with his eldest brother Hou Weiguo. Hou Weiguo took the matter as a joke and said: "Secretary Zhou walked and made a mess of our security colleagues in the bureau. He sent plainclothes guards outside the municipal committee compound every day after get off work. The secretary implements full-time security." Hou Weidong said bluntly: "Secretary Zhou didn't make this request, it's your bureau chief who flatters you." Hou Weiguo said: "It's good for me that you become a secretary, because there are people who flatter you everywhere. Boss Fang always comes and goes in a hurry. I was transferred to the Municipal Bureau for a few years, and I didn't say a few words to him in total. Talk. I met him in the aisle the day before yesterday, and he insisted on chatting with me for a few minutes. I’m afraid I’m going to be promoted in a few days.” He said a few words with his thoughts in mind, and then ate his food.

Hou Weidong persuaded: "My sister-in-law is obsessed for a while, and she will be fine after she gets used to it. If she quits her job, she will quit. In Shazhou, she can always find a suitable job for her." Seeing Hou Weidong was very polite, he secretly estimated that it should not be difficult to ask for a temporary job. What Hou Weiguo said was very effective, and soon, the Party Committee of the Public Security Bureau announced an appointment, and Hou Weiguo became the deputy head of the Economic Investigation Detachment.This appointment did not cause much disturbance in the Public Security Bureau. Hou Weiguo is a capable officer of the criminal police detachment and has repeatedly solved major cases.

In Lingxi, one-third of being an official depends on strength, one-third depends on connections, and the other third depends on various inexplicable means.Hou Weiguo's strength has something to do with it, so he was promoted.No one in the bureau objected to this. They had long been accustomed to this way of employing people. In their subconscious mind, this was the normal way of employing people. Hou Weidong followed Zhou Chang's body, thinking about meeting his elder brother, he walked upstairs step by step, and secretly said: "The idiom 'fox pretends to be tiger' is used to describe the secretary next to the leader. It is really vivid and penetrating."

At 9:30 in the morning, Zhou Changquan, Liu Bing, Huang Zidi, Hong Ang, Gao Yonghong and others went to the "Three Stresses" office to visit all the staff. The "Three Stresses" office is in the guest house of the municipal government.The municipal government guest house is divided into two types: the big one and the small one. The small one only receives important guests, and usually only Zhou Changquan, Liu Bing, Huang Zidi, and Hong Ang. The big one belongs to the official reception place. The relatively large conference room has many rooms, and the environment is actually not bad.

The Lingxi Provincial Party Committee sent a "Three Emphasis" supervision team to each region, and the "Three Emphasis" supervision team was stationed in the Grand Guest House.Zhou Changquan and others are not only visiting the staff of the "Three Stresses" Office, but more importantly, they are the "Three Stresses" supervision team waiting to be stationed in the big move. The leader of the "Three Stresses" supervision team is a department-level cadre who has retired to the second line, and the actual person in charge is Director Yi Zhongda of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.Hearing the surname "Yi", Hou Weidong's heart tightened. He couldn't help thinking of Yi Zhongling, a private entrepreneur who returned to Yiyang. I visited the staff in the "Three Stresses" office, and after waiting for a while, the "Three Stresses" supervision team, accompanied by Zhao Dong, the head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, came to Dazhao. The reception ceremony was simple and grand, and all members of the Standing Committee participated in the symposium at Dazhao. After the symposium, we had lunch at Dazhao.The dishes have been carefully researched to be delicious, simple and cheap. During lunch, Director Yi Zhongda said: "Respected Secretary Zhou, Mayor Liu, and Secretary Huang, before leaving, Secretary Jianguo specifically told us that this supervision work must be helpful and not cause trouble, and it must be clean and simple, and the wine will not be drunk. drank." Deputy Secretary Huang Zidi said: "Director Yi, we won't serve white wine. Let's drink some red wine. The tradition in Lingxi is that there is no banquet without wine. Drinking less red wine will not cause trouble or violate discipline." Yi Zhongda hesitated for a while, then agreed.Hou Weidong accidentally saw the brand of red wine, which was Cabernet with a bottle of more than 400 yuan. Yi Zhongda controlled his alcohol intake and only had a light drink.The members of the Standing Committee maintained due courtesy and toasted non-stop, but they did not force them as usual. The host and guest talked happily and the atmosphere was harmonious. Yi Zhongda responded to Zhou Changquan, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and said: "My wife's hometown is the current Sujia Village of Yiyang Xinguanhui. I went back to my hometown during the Spring Festival this year, and I could hardly find my way. Yiyang's development speed is really beyond my expectation. .” Hou Weidong happened to walk over with Zhou Changquan's cell phone. Zhou Changquan answered the phone, said something briefly, and hung up.He pointed to Hou Weidong and said, "Secretary Hou used to be the director of Yiyang's new management committee, and he contributed a lot to the establishment of the new management committee." Yi Zhongda nodded and said, "I went home during the Spring Festival, and when I heard the village cadres talk about Director Hou, everyone gave me a thumbs up." During the Chinese New Year at home, he had dinner with Yi Zhongcheng, Yi Zhongling and other cousins, and occasionally talked about Hou Weidong.Yi Zhongcheng drank some wine, became emotional, and scolded Hou Weidong in front of several cousins.Yi Zhongda remembered Hou Weidong at that time, but when he learned that Hou Weidong was now Zhou Changquan's secretary, he had a new view on Yi Zhongcheng's words. Hou Weidong said modestly: "At that time, the demolition and relocation caused many conflicts with the villagers of Sujia Village and other villages. The cadres in the village supported the development zone very much." Yi Zhongda nodded and said: "I've also heard about this matter. Yiyang's new management committee has handled it relatively well. The village has organized many professional teams to do projects in the new management committee. This is actually a part of urbanization. This model." He turned his attention to Zhou Changquan and said, "Urban expansion and farmers' interests are inherently universal contradictions. We must pay attention to this issue in the 'three stresses' activities. Shazhou is a big economic city. A breakthrough in this area will have a driving effect on the whole province of Lingxi." Zhou Changquan nodded and said: "In-depth development of party spirit and party style education with the main content of 'emphasizing learning, emphasizing politics, and emphasizing righteousness', the ultimate goal is to serve the people. A number of problems that plague development and affect people's livelihood. We are investigating the specific problems, focusing on them, and making great efforts to solve them." Hou Weidong secretly said: "Secretary Zhou's words are very artistic. If you just say it without doing it, it will be official language; if you implement it seriously, it will be the truth." In the evening, leading cadres at the Shazhou municipal level held a “Three Stresses” work meeting in the meeting room of the Municipal Party Committee. Members of the supervisory team did not attend the meeting, which was an internal work meeting. The meeting had two agendas: one was the report by Comrade Zhao Dong, Director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and Director of the Office of the Leading Group of the "Three Stresses" on the preliminary work of the "Three Stresses" educational activities; the second was a speech by Zhou Changquan. Zhou Changquan’s speech was not originally handled by Hou Weidong, but he deliberately assigned it to Hou Weidong at noon, and asked to get the manuscript out before 6:00. Prepare. Since Hou Weidong broke out in a cold sweat that time, in order to prevent such an embarrassing situation from happening again, he began to study Zhou Changquan's manuscript carefully every day, and he also gained some experience in his writing style, preferences and concerns. After the "Three Stresses" campaign started, he worked hard to collect the important speeches about the "Three Stresses" and the leaders' speeches from other regions in a detailed and comprehensive manner. Due to full preparations, Hou Weidong was not particularly nervous about the sudden assignment.He has 17 speeches given by the main leaders of various provinces on the "Three Stresses" on education. He selected a speech given by the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee at a provincial organ, combined with Zhou Changquan's habitual thinking, and wrote a decent one. article.After the revision, the speech was handed over to Zhou Changquan in the small guest house. Zhou Changquan lives in a small building in the small guest house. He usually rests or receives important guests in the small guest house.After receiving the manuscript, he ordered: "Let the kitchen cook a few dishes, make them lighter, and work overtime here today." Standing on the ground floor, Hou Weidong saw Zhou Changquan slowly walking up to the second floor with his glasses and articles, and felt rather disturbed. This was the second time he had written a big article for Zhou Changquan. The previous time was with the help of Wang Hui. Relying entirely on his own efforts, he was as anxious as if he was in an interview. Zhu Dajiang, the director of the small guest house, walked in. He handed Hou Weidong a cigarette with a big smile on his face, and reported: "A local chicken soup is arranged for the evening. The authentic chicken caught from the countryside is boiled in a crock pot over a slow fire. Absolutely authentic. I braised a carp in soy sauce, served with a side of cold enoki mushrooms, and a side of stir-fried lettuce, both of which Secretary Changquan likes to eat.” Seeing that Hou Weidong didn't speak, Zhu Dajiang said: "There are few dishes. Secretary Changquan is very strict. He will be criticized for arranging big fish and meat. These dishes are light and in line with Secretary Changquan's taste." Hou Weidong always felt very awkward when Zhu Dajiang called "Secretary Changquan" very affectionately and smoothly, and thought: "The people who call 'Secretary Changquan' are all leading cadres of a certain level. Zhu Dajiang is calling himself "Secretary Changquan". .” Zhu Dajiang was also observing the new secretary. Seeing his quiet and steady appearance, he felt that Hou Weidong had a city in his chest, and thought to himself: "This master seems to be difficult to serve, and we have to spend some effort to win him over." Good." He said politely: "Secretary Hou, the Spring Festival is coming, and the hostel has prepared some new year products for all the leaders, including sausages and bacon, all of which are designated food pigs. They are absolutely green and environmentally friendly. Don't go to your house. get ready." At 6:40, Zhou Changquan was still upstairs and did not come down. Hou Weidong was secretly worried about whether his article would pass, but Zhu Dajiang clung to Hou Weidong's side without knowing what to say, which made Hou Weidong very annoying. But it can't happen. He pretended to take out a copy of Zhou Changquan's speech written half a year ago, and read it carefully.Seeing this, Zhu Dajiang said, "Secretary Hou, you go ahead, I'll go to the kitchen." At 6:50, Hou Weidong was called up to the second floor. Zhou Changquan took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and put the manuscript on the table, with many beautiful cursives added to it. When Hou Weidong saw that the manuscript had been revised to be gaudy, his heart tightened, and he thought to himself, "It will be miserable if you fail." Zhou Changquan rubbed his face, and said, "Xiaohou, it took you half a day to write such a speech. Heart." Only then did Hou Weidong notice that in the upper right corner of the manuscript, there were two words "Available" signed. Zhou Changquan paused for a while, and said: "Xiaohou, I have high requirements for full-time secretaries. Most people can carry bags. You can't stay at this level. When talking about politics, for example, under the current situation, what should you master and understand?" Question, have you thought about it?" Hou Weidong didn't expect that Zhou Changping would suddenly mention this issue, so he shook his head honestly. "In a big city like ours with a population of millions, the surface is calm, but it is actually undercurrents. As a full-time secretary of the municipal party committee, you must have a keen political mind. Have you heard about the recent important information from the 'Three Stresses' Office? ? Do you know the views and requirements of the current supervision team? Have you paid attention to the main activities of the municipal leaders in the 'Three Stresses'?" Hou Weidong really didn't understand these situations, and said with shame: "Secretary Zhou, I didn't understand clearly, and I will definitely figure it out in the future." Zhou Changquan said sincerely: "The real society is very complicated, and struggles will appear at all levels of society. As the secretary of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee, I must not take it lightly. The 'Three Stresses' education is a major issue related to the style of the party and the government. We are doing While doing this job well, we must also prevent people with ulterior motives from coming out to make trouble. I don’t want you to be a secretary carrying bags, but a secretary with political acumen.” Zhou Changquan said it solemnly, and Hou Weidong was startled when he heard it. Zhou Changquan shifted the question to the manuscript again, saying: "The speech manuscript is still good. You can print out the content I added. 'Talk about politics'. In Shazhou, you must talk about unity. This is the focus of today's speech." At this time, Zhu Dajiang personally took the waiter and brought the food over.Hou Weidong didn't have time to eat, so he took the manuscript and went to the waiter's computer room. This room was equipped with a printer and was specially prepared for Zhou Changquan. Hou Weidong read the manuscript carefully and heaved a sigh of relief. The main content of the manuscript has not been modified, and the revised part is concentrated on the part of "talking about politics".Zhou Changquan especially emphasized that the overall situation of Shazhou is good. The whole Shazhou should focus on the work of the Municipal Party Committee, talk about the overall situation, understand the general situation, and create a stable, united and positive working environment. "Is there someone who doesn't talk about unity?" Seeing this manuscript, Hou Weidong couldn't help but have some doubts. In the evening, at the venue, Zhou Changquan first spoke according to the manuscript, but soon he put aside the manuscript and concentrated on talking about "politics". "To do a good job in the current education activities is to talk about politics. To maintain the stability and unity of Shazhou is to talk about politics; all municipal leaders work around the municipal party committee and focus on development. Pay attention to seeking truth from facts, must conform to the realities of Shazhou, do not criticize, do not make unreasonable outlines, let the provincial party committee trust us, and let the people of the whole city trust us... Whoever destroys the stable and united political situation is the greatest dissatisfaction politics." Zhou Changquan spoke extremely seriously, and the audience was completely silent. Hou Weidong was present at the meeting. He looked at Zhou Changquan's calm and dignified face, and at the solemn expressions of many city-level leaders, and said to himself: "Secretary Zhou said many times that he doesn't need a secretary with a bag. What can I do? Will you become a bag-carrying secretary?" It was already 10 o'clock in the evening when the meeting ended, and when Xiaojia came home, she knew that it was a night meeting, she curled her lips and said, "'Three lectures' is just a formality, so I have to take it so seriously." Hou Weidong thought about the events at the meeting, and said: "The 'Three Stresses' is meaningless to us, but to senior leaders, it is a major event in political life." He asked Xiaojia seriously, "When am I eligible to participate in the 'Three Lectures'?" Xiao Jia said: "With your current working status, ten years at most, five years at least, is enough to participate in the 'three stresses' education." Hou Weidong is now at the official department level, and there is still a gap between the county and department level. He thought of Zhou Changquan's expression on the stage, and said, "I hope so." After work, Hou Weidong took the time to call Su Mingjun and said, "Sube, the Office of the 'Three Stresses' should have collected a lot of opinions. I'm here to understand the situation." Su Mingjun is the executive deputy director of the Organization Department and the executive deputy director of the "Three Stresses" Leading Group Office. He happened to be in charge of this area. He pondered: "These opinions are very sensitive. In principle, they should be kept secret and should not be circulated. Of course, Weidong wants to It seems that there is no problem, come here." Su Mingjun knew that Hou Weidong represented Zhou Changquan at certain times, and of course these materials could not be kept secret from the secretary of the municipal party committee. He did not expect that Hou Weidong wanted to see the opinions collected in private. The "Three Stresses" Office mobilized more than 20 staff members, occupying more than ten rooms in the large guest house. The signs and responsibilities of each department are hung on the wall, and they are all equipped with computers. It looks more formal than a formal office. , It is obviously much higher than the grade of temporary offices such as the "Three Funds" Office and the Clearance Office. "It's a big problem, it's a big problem, and it's not hard for the boss to pay attention to it. This time, the 'Three Stresses' activity has been highly valued by the municipal party committee, and the big difficulty has become a trivial matter." When Su Mingjun was in contact with Hou Weidong in the past, he had psychological problems. With a strong sense of superiority, now that Hou Weidong suddenly became Zhou Changquan's secretary, he completely regarded Hou Weidong as a fellow. Hou Weidong entered the office of the executive deputy director of the "Three Stresses" Office. As soon as he sat down, Guo Lan came in to make tea. She was still plain-faced, elegant and clean, and smiled slightly when she saw Hou Weidong. "Guo Lan, are you also doing the 'Three Stresses'?" "I was drawn when the 'Three Stresses' was established." Hou Weidong was a little surprised to see Guo Lan, but soon he was relieved. Guo Lan is a cadre of the Organization Department, and it is normal to be drawn to the "Three Stresses" office.He asked again: "How is Professor Guo?" "It's okay. I go to the library to read books every day. I read the books and took a walk." Guo Lan said to Su Mingjun again, "Minister Su, the comrades from Wuhai County will come over in a while, and they have to report on the 'Third Lectures. 'The progress of education." Su Mingjun said: "Please invite team leader Wang to receive you first, and I will come back later." After closing the door, Su Mingjun took a stack of materials and said, "This is the criticism, suggestions and opinions collected. The 'Three Stresses' supervision team set up a suggestion box, and these materials were not included in the 'Three Stresses'." He pointed to these materials with his finger and said: "According to Minister Zhao's instructions, we will divide the opinions into two parts. One part will be published in the 'Three Lectures' Office, and the other part will be kept by me and will not be released to the public. What I will show you now are all It’s material that’s not out there.” Hou Weidong said: "Don't worry Subu, I'll just take a look here, I won't take it away, I won't copy it." Su Mingjun patted the file with his hands, and said: "You take a look in this office, I'm going to receive the comrades from the 'Three Lectures' Office in Wuhai County." When he closed the door, he turned his head and smiled meaningfully at Hou Weidong smiled. The dossier is not too thick, but the content inside is very sharp. There is a piece of land occupation in the southern new district of Shazhou, basking in the sun during the day and accompanying the moon at night. It is suggested that the municipal government adjust its thinking, increase investment attraction, and take practical actions to promote the construction of the southern new district. Jian criticized. One incident reflected that the infrastructure in the old city of Shazhou was backward, the urban roads were seriously damaged, and there were no street lights in the back streets and alleys. One is a letter from the people, which reflects that Kong Zhengyi, the director of the Finance Bureau, used his power for personal gain and charged huge favors in the construction of a fiscal hotel and several other important projects.The letter wrote: "The Caishui Hotel has become a safe haven for Kong Zhengyi and others. They often gamble in Juxian Pavilion on the tenth floor, and even go whoring, squandering the blood and sweat of the people..." Hou Weidong didn't know whether Kong Zhengyi accepted bribes or not.As for the matter of Juxian Pavilion, Hou Weidong himself participated in it several times.Thinking of Kong Zhengyi's merciless reprimand of his subordinates, Hou Weidong concluded: "There must be an inner ghost, otherwise I wouldn't have understood it so clearly." One was a report letter against Lao Xing, the director of the construction committee. Hou Weidong commented: "Lao Xing is lying in the hospital, basically a waste, who is still here to add trouble? It's not authentic!" The entire dossier involved seven or eight top department leaders, but there were no city-level leaders. The only one was aimed at a vice chairman of the CPPCC.After reading this dossier, recalling what Zhou Changquan said at the meeting last night, he gradually understood, and secretly said: "Secretary Zhou talked a lot about politics at the meeting, and he certainly doesn't want problems to arise during the 'Three Lectures', stability overwhelms everything." After returning to the office from the "Three Stresses" Office, not long after sitting down, Zhou Changquan and Hong Ang entered the office, talking while walking. Hong Ang said: "Secretary Zhou, the mining of non-ferrous metals must also be regulated. Brutal mining is a waste of resources, and the city and county levels do not receive much tax revenue, and all the benefits are plundered by illegal operators." Zhou Changquan paid great attention to mining and was well aware of the complexity involved. He said: "Zhang Yongtai came to Chengjin and shouldered the important task of rectifying the chaotic mining order. He encountered many difficulties. As a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee, on behalf of me, you must give him more Lots of support." "Lao Zhang has an iron fist, and he should be able to untangle Chengjin's mess." Zhou Changquan said: "It's easy to break the rigidity, you have to give Zhang Yongtai some ideas." After Hong Ang left, Hou Weidong sent several newly arrived documents from the Lingxi Provincial Party Committee.Zhou Changquan asked: "Since the launch of the 'Three Lectures', what reaction have you heard?" Hou Weidong had just read the file, and he felt confident, and said: "I just went to the 'Three Lectures' Office and read the opinions they collected and summarized. Some opinions are quite sharp." Zhou Changquan just asked casually, and when he heard Hou Weidong's answer, he became interested and said, "Tell me about the specific situation." When Hou Weidong read the materials, although he didn't take notes, he was a caring person, and he remembered the situation reflected very firmly, and explained each one in detail. After listening to the collected opinions, Zhou Changquan did not express his opinion, but said: "You should pay attention to collecting social conditions and public opinions in your daily life, and make more contact with the people at the bottom in your spare time. Without investigation, you have no right to speak." When getting off work, Hong Ang, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary-General, came to Zhou Changquan's office and said, "Secretary Zhou, it's almost time, let's go." When Zhou Changquan got up, Hong Ang took the cashmere coat hanging on the hanger and handed it over. When handing over the clothes, Hong Ang looked at Hou Weidong. Zhou Changquan said bluntly, "Xiaohou won't go." When Zhou Changquan and Hong Ang left the office, Hou Weidong felt slightly lost and sour. Just as he was about to leave the office, he received a call from Ji Haiyang. Ji Haiyang said: "Weidong, Director Yi Zhongda of the Provincial Party Committee's 'Three Stresses' Supervision Group is from Yiyang. Some of us from Yiyang invited him to dinner. Do you have time to attend?" Hou Weidong is naturally sensitive to people with the surname "Yi". He didn't want to go at first, but then he thought: "Yi Zhongda is a member of the supervisory team, and he must deal with them. Just be careful. There is no need to deliberately avoid it." One o'clock, he said: "Secretary Ji, what time is it? Where is it?" "Arranged at the Transportation Hotel, Director Lin Yi of the Transportation Bureau treats guests." Hou Weidong arrived at the Communications Hotel on time. Liu Linyi, the deputy director of the Transportation Bureau, was already waiting in the luxury bag of the Communications Hotel. Seeing Hou Weidong, he said, "I'm sorry, Bureau Teng has gone to a meeting in the province and cannot come to accompany the leaders." He handed over the phone while talking, Hou Weidong answered the phone, and the loud voice of Bureau Teng came from inside: "Secret Hou, you and Director Yi and Secretary Ji are able to go to the Transportation Bureau because you think highly of the Transportation Bureau. I am in the provincial government. If you can't come back in time, I'll let Director Liu accompany you to eat and play well." After Ji Haiyang arrived at the Transportation Bureau from Yiyang, it took another seven or eight minutes for Yi Zhongda to arrive at the Transportation Hotel. When Yi Zhongda was still in high school in Yiyang, Liu Linyi was already the deputy director of the County Transportation Bureau. After Yi Zhongda graduated from university, Liu Linyi became the deputy county magistrate of Yiyang.Even so, with his current status, Yi Zhongda took the main seat as a matter of course, with Ji Haiyang and Liu Linyi sitting on both sides. Even though it was a banquet for people from his hometown, Yi Zhongda still maintained the self-discipline of a working cadre. He poured half a cup out of a tall glass, and after clinking glasses with Ji Haiyang and others, he just sipped it with his mouth. Refuse to drink too much. Because of Yi Zhongda's subtlety and restraint, the banquet started with mutual humility and ended in a tepid state, without a climax. Liu Linyi opened his bow left and right. At the end of the banquet, he became drunk and said, "Director Yi, there is an internal karaoke hall downstairs. Let's go roar and breathe out the alcohol?" Yi Zhongda said tactfully: "I do have something to do today. I will treat you another day. Parents and officials must respect you." Although his attitude was tactful, he was very firm and unquestionable. Liu Linyi, Ji Haiyang and the others all took Yi Zhongda's sensitive identity into consideration, so they didn't persuade him much. The three of them sent him downstairs and waved to Yi Zhongda frequently. The taillights of the car disappeared from the sight of the three of them. Liu Linyi put his arm around Ji Haiyang with his left arm and Hou Weidong with his right hand, and said, "Director Yi is gone, and the three of us have to go to Houhou. The lesbians from the Municipal Transportation Bureau are pretty good at singing." Yes, they waited for a long time, you can't let others down." When Ji Haiyang was about to raise his hand to look at his watch, Liu Linyi said, "Yiyang, if you leave, you won't be enough friends." When Liu Linyi was the deputy county magistrate in Yiyang County, Ji Haiyang had just been transferred to the county party committee office, and the old leader sent After speaking, although Ji Haiyang wanted to leave, he still stayed. Liu Linyi said to Hou Weidong again: "Weidong, it's not that I rely on the old to sell the old. If you leave, it will be too uninteresting. At my age, I can't be promoted to an official. We just want to be happy together." Seeing Liu Linyi's gray hair, Hou Weidong agreed. The karaoke hall is indeed an internal karaoke hall, the sound is good, and several lesbians from the Transportation Bureau are beautiful and generous.When Hou Weidong danced with a lesbian, his waist was straight, his eyes were looking straight ahead, and he rested his fingertips on the lesbian's waist.His state of mind at this time is quite different from that of a few years ago. When he sees a young, beautiful and enthusiastic girl, it is a troublesome thing to take the initiative to retreat and get angry if he is not careful. The dancer with Hou Weidong is Haining, the youngest female college student. She just graduated from Jiaotong University this year. When she heard that she was going to dance with the leader, she was quite reluctant at first. At this time, seeing the secretary of the municipal party committee was quite masculine, she felt a little unhappy Dissipated in the sound of music. "Secretary Hou, which university did you graduate from?" Haining asked curiously. Hou Weidong said, "I graduated from Tiankan University." Haining is a girl who grew up in the city. She is very unfamiliar with the countryside. She suddenly didn't realize it, and said, "Tiankan University? It's not very famous. I haven't heard of it. Is it in Lingxi Province?" Hou Weidong was amused instead, and said, "Yes, it is Yiyang County." Only then did Haining come to his senses, and said, "Secretary Hou, you're making me happy, Tiankan University, hehehe." They danced three songs, all of which were said by Haining and listened to by Hou Weidong. In all fairness, Haining is a lovely girl, but Hou Weidong intentionally created a barrier to keep Haining's enthusiasm out.Because of Li Jing's affairs, he was always struggling in his heart, and he didn't want to provoke this young girl who had just fallen in love again. At 10:30 in the evening, the small dance ended. Liu Linyi smiled and said to the beauties under him: "It's still early, everyone is hungry, wait a while and go to the boathouse for supper." The lesbians cheered, and Haining looked at Hou Weidong.Hou Weidong pretended not to see it, avoiding the passionate gaze. "Old Ji, Chuanfang is a Shazhou specialty. It only takes half an hour to go back to Yiyang after supper." Liu Linyi was a deputy county magistrate and deputy director for many years. He has not pursued much in politics. He has been working at Jiaotongkou for more than 20 years. He is proficient in business and does not worry about being squeezed out. He likes to eat, drink and have fun after work. According to his words: "After decades of hard work, you should also enjoy yourself when you are relegated to the second line. " Ji Haiyang hastily declined and said: "Forget it, Director Liu has been disturbed all night, please go away and host." Liu Linyi did not force, after sending Ji Haiyang away, Hou Weidong was about to leave, Liu Linyi held his hand and said: "Hou Mi is the future star of Shazhou. There is one thing I want to ask my brother. My brat is about to graduate from university. I want him to join the municipal committee. You can help me with a word at the right time." Liu Linyi has been in office for a long time, and he knows what it means to join the Municipal Party Committee Office. Seeing that his son is about to graduate, he began to try his best to find a good way for his son.As the saying goes: "Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, men are afraid of entering the wrong profession." He wanted to send his son to the best position while he was still in the position. Hou Weidong has not been in the General Section of the Municipal Party Committee for a long time, and he hasn't fully figured out the details inside, but he didn't show timidity in front of Liu Linyi, and said vaguely: "Director Liu, let's talk when the time comes, I will try my best." Liu Linyi shook hands vigorously, and then said to Haining: "Haining, we will have dinner at Chuanfang in a while, and you can offer a few glasses of wine to Secretary Hou. Don't think that Secretary Hou is young. He used to be the director of the county committee office in Yiyang The director of the management committee and the director of the science and technology committee have rich experience and are young and veteran cadres." Several lesbians from the Transportation Bureau focused their attention on Hou Weidong, and Hou Weidong hurriedly said: "You are welcome, Director Liu. When you were the county magistrate in Yiyang, I was still studying at Shazhou College. I came to inspect once, I was in the picket team, and I was on duty for you with a sleeve cage." Liu Linyi smiled and said: "I am a deputy director, how can I have the qualifications to inspect Shazhou College at the departmental level? At that time, I was with the Provincial Department of Education lead." Haining interjected: "Ju Liu, Secretary Hou was still lying to me just now. He said he graduated from Tiankan University, so it turned out to be Shazhou University." This sentence caused everyone to burst into laughter.Hou Weidong thought to himself: "I'm used to seeing people in the officialdom, but it's rare to see such a pure person as Haining. She has come to this bottomless big dye vat, how long can she maintain her purity!" After dinner at Chuanfang, it was already 1:00 in the middle of the night, and Liu Linyi was still unsatisfied, and said, "Secret Hou, I invite you to take a bath and give you a full-body massage to completely relax." Seeing Hou Weidong hesitated, he said, "It's very formal. Massage, don't worry." At this time, Hou Weidong was no longer a young boy who had just left school. He declined politely: "I have to pick up Secretary Zhou tomorrow morning. Forget it today. I will invite Director Liu another day." He has already seen that Liu Linyi is very devoted to playing, and he is really enjoying life.In fact, this is also the way of life of some leading cadres in Shazhou. When they are old and have no hope of promotion, they settle for the next best thing and live a chic life after work.If you don't put it in your pocket, as long as you don't go out of line, the Disciplinary Committee will not care about such things. On the boathouse, Hou Weidong was poured alcohol by several beauties from the Transportation Bureau. He was really drunk, and when he returned to the Crescent Tower, he was very tired.The air-conditioning cabinet in the house "huhu" blows hot air, and the house is as warm as spring.When the anti-theft door is closed, there are two worlds outside the home.Xiao Jia was wearing thin pajamas, holding the remote control panel in her hand, and was sulking. When she heard the sound of the key, she ran to the peephole of the anti-theft door to look. When Hou Weidong walked in, she deliberately ignored him. This thin pajamas is indeed very thin, and it is translucent, empty inside. Every time Xiao Jia wears this pajamas, it is a hint that the husband and wife are fish and water. Of course Hou Weidong knew Xiaojia's intentions, but he was really tired, so he told a joke: "A young couple has a son who has just started to babble.感动，认为太太真好，先教孩子叫爸爸，而不是先叫妈妈。一个寒冬深夜，孩子哭闹不休，一直叫爸爸，此时夫妻俩睡得正好，老婆道，'你儿子一直在叫你，赶快去啦。'这时老公恍然大悟……” 小佳脸一直紧绷着，被这个笑话逗得笑了起来，她恶狠狠地伸出五指，掐了侯卫东的胳膊，道：“以后不准这么晚回家。”又道，“锅里有烧好的鲜牛奶，趁热喝了。满身的酒味，好好洗一洗。” 洗了澡，精力又恢复过来，侯卫东抱着小佳补课。一夜酣睡，醒来精力充沛，生龙活虎。
