Chapter 17 compromise is an art

Ma Youcai knew that Ji Daolin, secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, had arrived in Yiyang, and felt inexplicably nervous. Seeing Zhu Yan hurried into the room, he habitually adjusted his tie, and didn't speak, just looked at Zhu Yan. In contrast, Zhu Yan was much calmer, took out a cigarette, and handed one to Ma Youcai, and when both of them lit the fire, he said slowly: "Old Ma, the two of us haven't sat down for more than a year." Let's set up a dragon gate formation together." Ma Youcai didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhu Yan's gourd, and thought to himself: "You almost changed the people I use easily, what can I talk to you about?" There was no expression on his face, and he said : "If the county government wants to realize the decision of the county party committee, it can only work day and night, where there is no free time!"

After chatting for a few words, there was always some incompatibility, so Zhu Yan didn't want to go around and said, "Mayor Ma, there is something I want to talk to you about." "Please speak up." "You Hong explained to the procuratorate that he gave you a Swiss gold watch last year." The smile on Ma Youcai's face disappeared immediately. He glanced at Zhu Yan coldly, and said in his heart, "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about? But it's not that easy." He shook the watch on his wrist and spoke. The tone became gunpowder, and said: "This is my Shanghai watch. I have used it for seven years. I have a fart with a Swiss gold watch!"

Seeing that Ma Youcai was very angry, Zhu Yan was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "This is what You Hong explained, and the time and place were clearly stated. I am here to discuss this matter with you as a friend and brother. There is absolutely no Malicious, think back to last year's Mid-Autumn Festival." Ma Youcai's chest heaved rapidly, and he tried hard to recall what happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and suddenly, he remembered that there was indeed such a thing.At that time, Director You Hong of the Public Security Bureau invited him to a meal, and he did give him a watch. At that time, You Hong joked: "County Ma, you are the head of a majestic county, and time is money. Every minute of your It is very important to Yiyang County, we must use better quality watches.”

The Shanghai watch in Ma Youcai's hand was a gift from his mentor. Although it was not expensive, it was of good quality. He never thought of changing the watch, but he still gave the police chief a face and accepted the watch.He didn't care about the watch, he threw it in the office without touching it, and forgot it long ago. Recalling this scene, Ma Youcai couldn't help being startled, and said: "I remembered, last Mid-Autumn Festival, when You Hong invited me to dinner, he did give me a watch. Is it a Swiss watch?" Seeing that Ma Youcai readily admitted the matter, Zhu Yan relaxed and said, "According to You Hong, this is a Swiss gold watch worth more than 20,000 yuan."

Twenty thousand yuan has constituted a crime, and Ma Youcai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. There are nearly one million yuan in cash hidden in his house, as well as several passbooks, most of which were given by Yi Zhongling, a local product company in Yiyang. Ma Youcai secretly said: "Could it be that I will fall on this watch? If this is the case, then Skynet has been restored!" Seeing Ma Youcai's uncertain expression, Zhu Yan reminded him: "Did you know the value of this watch at that time?" This question made Ma Youcai wake up. His tone softened unconsciously, and he said: "At that time, I thought it was just a watch, a small gift between comrades. I didn't think much about it, so I accepted it. I really don't know. It’s worth 20,000 yuan. Now the watch is still in the office drawer, and the package hasn’t even been opened yet.”

What Ma Youcai said is indeed true. Firstly, the mentor who gave him the watch is still in an important position, so it is impossible for him to replace the watch given by his mentor. Thousands of Swiss gold watches. Zhu Yan asked: "Is it really in the office, and the package hasn't even been opened?" Ma Youcai said: "You can go to the office to check immediately." Zhu Yan smiled and said: "If this is the case, things will be easy to handle. You made an unintentional mistake. Let's go to see Secretary Ji Daolin together." Seeing the happy expression on Zhu Yan's face, Ma Youcai was a little puzzled, and said, "I had an accident, Zhu Yan should be very happy, what does he mean?"

After hearing Zhu Yan's report, Ji Daolin felt relieved, but his face was still cold, and said: "Seeing is believing, and hearing is believing. Let's go to the office to check." The three cars arrived at the compound of the county party committee and the county government, got off in the parking lot on the left, and went upstairs through the side door. After making tea, the office staff backed out and closed the door. Ma Youcai opened the bottom box on the right side of the desk and took out a golden box with a ribbon on it, the packaging was extra delicate.He smiled wryly at Ji Daolin: "Secretary Ji, this is the harmful thing. I will open the package now."

Opening the package, there was a shining golden watch inside. The facts were clear, Ji Daolin looked completely relaxed, and joked: "This watch has been covered in dust for a year, and it only came out today." Ma Youcai acted according to circumstances, and said: "I will officially hand over this watch to the organization today. Although it is a year late, it is really an unintentional mistake." This unintentional mistake is the nature given by Zhu Yan, Ma Youcai I thought this kind of statement was good, so I said it casually. Ji Daolin said with a smile: "Since this is the case, it will be easy for Secretary Changquan to explain."

During the dinner, Deputy Secretary Zhao Lin of the County Party Committee and Qian Zhiguo of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection also attended the dinner. The two were surprised to find that Ma Youcai took the initiative to drink several glasses of wine with Zhu Yan. Finally the music ended and Ma Youcai returned home.In the study, he took out the well-hidden cash and passbook.These few things are like hot potatoes, and he feels unsafe to hide them anywhere, which has become his heart disease. He tossed in the study until midnight, but still couldn't find a safe place.When he was kneeling on the ground, he wanted to put the money under the bookcase, but it was not suitable after several attempts. When he stood up, he felt that the sky was dark for a while. Ma Youcai supported the bookcase and stood there for a long time. disappear.

"Three caves of the cunning rabbit, why was I so sloppy in the past, and didn't find a reliable place for myself. If the procuratorate sends people to search today, my good head will be ruined." Thinking of this, Ma Youcai broke out in a profuse sweat, as if he was exhausted.A few years later, Ma Youcai still paid a heavy price for this matter. Of course, this is a later story. Although Hou Weidong didn't know what the leaders talked about, but he had gone through the events before and after, and he had vaguely guessed that the horse and money were involved. After dinner, he sensitively saw Ma Youcai making a "please" gesture in front of Zhu Yan, which had never happened before.

With some doubts and some emotion, Hou Weidong returned to Shazhou University.After getting out of the car, he waved to Xiao Zhu and walked towards the cave. At the entrance of the building, Hou Weidong stopped subconsciously, always feeling that something was missing, and when he reached the first floor, he remembered that he hadn't heard Guo Lan's piano sound for several days. "Why doesn't Guo Lan play the piano anymore? Is she sick or on a business trip?" Although Hou Weidong and Guo Lan were neighbors, they had very little contact with each other. Hou Weidong knew about Guo Lan's situation, and it was mostly Ren Lindu who told him about it.Now that Ren Lindu has moved to the general department, both of them are busy and rarely chat together, so Hou Weidong doesn't know Guo Lan's recent situation, and he didn't hear the piano sound today, so he remembered it. When I went upstairs, I saw a person standing by my door, leaning against the door and smoking a cigarette. When I saw Hou Weidong going upstairs, I said happily: "Mayor Hou is finally back." Hou Weidong heard the voice very familiar, and walked a few more steps. Only then did he recognize Su Yajun, the director of the Social Affairs Office of Qinglin Town. He said, "Director Su, what can I do for you? Why don't you call me?" Su Yajun said: "I called Director Hou on the cell phone, but you didn't answer." He deliberately changed "Mayor Hou" to "Director Hou". Hou Weidong took out his mobile phone and saw that there were four missed calls on it. He hurriedly said sorry, and explained: "Today, the leaders of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee arrived in Yiyang. I attended the reception and turned the mobile phone to a silent state, so I didn't receive any calls from Su. Director's phone." As he spoke, he let Su Yajun into the room. Su Yajun sat on the sofa with an anxious expression on his face, and said, "Director Hou, I have encountered an urgent matter and would like to ask for your help." "We are comrades-in-arms who have worked together. If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't be polite to me." Su Yajun was the boss of the Qinglin Town government. When Hou Weidong was in charge of the social affairs office at first, he didn't buy it. It was only after the foundation audit and funeral reform that Su Yajun recognized Hou Weidong. At this time, Su Yajun was sitting at Hou Weidong's house, both anxious and a little cramped: "Director Hou, my second son Su Qiang is studying in Yiyang Middle School. You have seen him before, and his grades are not bad. He just talked about brotherhood yesterday. He was asked out by some classmates to fight in groups, and now the school wants to expel him. I went to find Principal Duan, but Principal Duan still insisted on expelling him. If the second boy is really expelled, his future will be destroyed. Director Hou is in the county party committee As a leader, there must be a way.” Seeing Su Yajun's appearance, Hou Weidong took out the confidential phone book without saying a word, and found the phone number of the principal of Yiyang Middle School.The last time he accompanied Zhu Yan to Yiyang Middle School, he met Principal Duan once, and he was considered acquainted, so Hou Weidong called Principal Duan. "Principal Duan, hello, I'm Hou Weidong from the County Party Committee." Principal Duan didn't remember who Hou Weidong was, and said perfunctorily, "Hou Weidong, oh, what can you do with me?" Principal Duan is a celebrity in the education system, and he was a little arrogant. After hearing what Hou Weidong said, he said: "Fighting in groups is a very bad thing, and it must be severely punished. Otherwise, the school spirit will not be correct, and the reputation of Yiyang Middle School will be ruined." Since Hou Weidong became Zhu Yan's secretary, he has always been successful in doing things in Yiyang. He didn't expect to meet a hard nail in front of Principal Duan. He thought to himself mockingly: "I only met Principal Duan once, and he didn't think of me at all. who is it." Su Yajun stared at Hou Weidong closely, and when he heard that he hadn't done things well, his face was anxious and disappointed, and he was speechless for a while. Hou Weidong comforted: "We are blocked by water and take dry roads. Yiyang Middle School is always under the leadership of the county party committee and the county government." He called Zeng Zhaoqiang, explained the matter, and said, "Su Qiang is just talking about brotherhood. He is not an organizer, if he is expelled, he will ruin this kid, and his grades can be ranked in the top 50 in Yiyang Middle School." Su Yajun saw that Hou Weidong and Deputy County Magistrate Zeng Zhaoqiang spoke casually, so he knew that the relationship between the two was unusual, and secretly said: "In the past, people said that the Dawan Stone Field was run by the traffic bureau. I still didn't believe it, but today it seems that it is indeed the case." After this relationship was established, hope was rekindled in his heart. Zeng Zhaoqiang was playing mahjong, and said with a smile: "Your call is at the right time. I am with County Magistrate Gao and Director Gong, and I will call you back later." After a while, Zeng Zhaoqiang called back and said, " County Magistrate Gao was very concerned about your affairs, so he called Principal Duan himself. This time, only the organizer was expelled for the group fight, and everything else was taken into account. For the students, education is the priority." When Su Yajun heard that the matter was completed, he was very grateful to Hou Weidong, and said excitedly: "Director Hou, I don't know what to say, Su Qiang will remember you forever." Finally, there was a smile on his face, and he said sincerely: "Director Hou, I built a fish pond outside the town, and it is all fed with grain, and there is no feed at all. You must take time to fish." Seeing Su Yajun's excited expression, Hou Weidong said, "We are old friends, so we should do something small for Su Qiang." For Hou Weidong, this matter is a trivial matter, but Su Yajun has worked at the grassroots level for a long time and is not familiar with the comrades in the county. It is really difficult for him to handle this matter.Su Yajun was fully aware of this, and his gratitude to Hou Weidong was from the bottom of his heart. Hou Weidong insisted on sending Su Yajun downstairs, watched Su Yajun's back disappear at the intersection, and went back upstairs. At this time, the north wind blew over the lake surface reflecting the lights, and the cold and humid air irritated Hou Weidong's nasal cavity. He rubbed the tip of his nose, feeling that there was something missing in the scenery of the lakeside and mountains.Perhaps because of the cold, the piano hall of the Music Department was quiet. Standing upstairs, the only thing I could hear was the sound of the lake lapping on the shore. Thinking that he was alone at home, Hou Weidong simply walked down the stone road to the lake.The lakeside path has left many footprints of him and Xiaojia. The first time they held hands was by the lake, and the first kiss was also in a bush by the lake.He walked a few random steps along the lake, and the cold wind blowing from the lake kept him awake.Xiao Jia thought for a while, and thought of all the things that happened around Zhu Yan and Ma Youcai these days. He couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, but he also felt that he was getting closer to these leaders in thinking, and the leaders were less in his eyes. Mystique. The enthusiasm of the lovers of Shazhou University has always been very high. Despite the cold wind in December, shivering from the cold, they still remained enthusiastic and lingered by the lake. Hou Weidong passed by two couples one after another, and unknowingly came to the piano room of the music department.This is an old house, and the green leaves all over the walls add a lot of elegance and charm to it, but at night, the green leaves all over the walls are naturally invisible, and it feels a little gloomy. Hou Weidong strolled up, turned a few turns, and came to the aisle. Under a forest tree, a girl sat on a stone bench and sobbed softly.This kind of scene is really common in the academy, the girls in the academy cry in the dark, not for anything else, mostly for the love in the academy. "Love is a difficult problem. It makes people dizzy. It may be possible to forget the pain, but it is not easy to forget you..." Hou Weidong couldn't help humming this song.He also didn't persuade the young girl that maybe if she cries today, she will be shining brightly in the future. After walking around the lake for a long time, I returned home feeling refreshed.When sending Su Yajun off, the phone was placed under the coffee table, and when he opened the door and entered the room, the phone was still vibrating violently in the room. Xiao Jia's slightly angry voice came from the phone: "Why didn't you answer the phone? It's so late, where did you go?" "I went around the lake and left my phone at home." "In such a cold day, what's the point of turning around by a lake alone?" "Take the road of our love again." Xiao Jia pursed her lips and laughed a few times, and said, "Why does it sound so nasty?" Hou Weidong joked: "I used to hold hands and watch the scenery by the lake, but now I just go to bed and get into the theme." "Bah, you stinky mouth." Xiaojia couldn't get through the phone at first, and she felt a little unhappy in her heart. She joked with Hou Weidong a few times, and she had long forgotten the little unpleasantness. "During this period of time, I have traveled to Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and many other places. I have gained a lot of knowledge. I settled down to learn gardening and gained a lot. It seems that my choice is right. Women, learn more business knowledge, It's easier to live. How's the situation over there?" Hou Weidong never liked to talk about work matters at home, let alone such bad things as Zhu Yan and Ma Youcai couldn't explain clearly, so he said, "That's the way it is. Today the horse beats the cow, and tomorrow the bull beats the horse." Xiaojia didn't expect her husband to become the deputy director of the county party committee office in a few months.She had worked in the office of the construction committee, and knew that the position of deputy director of the county committee office did not seem to have many things in the open, but in fact it was full of miscellaneous things, which was the hardest thing.She said with concern: "Sister Zhao is asking me, now that you are the deputy director of the county party committee office, do you still want to be transferred to the organization department? In mid-December, the municipal government will start to transfer personnel." Hou Weidong was like a fish in water in Yiyang, and gained a lot from all aspects. He hesitated a bit and said, "I can't tell. I feel that I have gained a lot from working with Zhu Yan. If I am transferred to the Municipal Organization Department, everything will be different." To start from scratch." Xiao Jia reminded: "Follow Zhu Yan, and your future will be tied to him. If he develops well, you will follow him step by step. If he goes downhill one day, it will be difficult for you to make a difference." Hou Weidong comforted himself: "There is no future in politics, at least I am still a rich man. According to the fashionable words, this is personal freedom because of financial freedom." Xiaojia also agreed with Hou Weidong's point of view, saying: "As long as you like it, there is not much difference between Shazhou and Yiyang. Now my parents have also turned the corner." After talking on the phone with Xiaojia for a while, Hou Weidong ended the call until the phone became hot, feeling really relaxed. I had no dreams all night and slept soundly. After Ji Daolin returned to Shazhou from Yiyang, he immediately reported Ma Youcai's situation to Municipal Party Secretary Zhou Changquan and Acting Mayor Liu Bing. Zhou Changquan learned that Ma Youcai didn't unpack the watch at all, and just threw it in the office casually, saying: "You Hong wasted all his efforts and sent a watch worth 20,000 yuan. Ma Youcai didn't know the value at all. He probably thought This watch is worth a few hundred dollars." Liu Bing is the acting mayor of the provincial party committee. He said humorously: "In the future, I will find an expert from a jewelry store to tell the county leaders what valuable things are, so that these county leaders don't know the goods, and they don't know it. I fell for it." With the attitude of the two leaders, Ji Daolin knew it well, and had a special talk with Ma Youcai, and the matter was turned into a minor one.Ji Daolin knew that the top leaders of Yiyang's party and government were at odds, and this time Zhu Yan's positive attitude gave him a good impression. For this reason, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, when he was talking with Ma Youcai, he specifically talked about the fact that the top leaders of the party and government The topic of unity, and clearly explained Zhu Yan's approach and attitude on this matter. After this conversation, Ma Youcai's attitude began to change slowly. During the period of confrontation between Zhu and Ma, the county government made many decisions without going through the county party committee, and was very negative about the things that the county party committee actively promoted. Now, the county government The government is very resolute in implementing the decisions of the county party committee. On December 20, the county government held the twenty-sixth executive meeting to study how to increase investment in Chengnan New District. After Hou Weidong got the work minutes of the 26th government executive meeting, he tasted them carefully, and realized that this was Ma Youcai's gesture of favor to Zhu Yan, so he immediately sent the meeting minutes to Zhu Yan. Zhu Yan already knew the content of the meeting, read the minutes of the meeting, and said with a smile: "Money is like time, as long as you are willing to squeeze, there will always be. To sum up, having money is not the key, the key is attitude." Hou Weidong smiled knowingly, and another sentence came to mind: "Financial money is like a woman's cleavage, as long as you are willing to squeeze, there will always be."
