Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Homing

When the plane landed at Moyu Airport, it was already the evening of the next day.According to American time, it should be morning at this moment, and Jia Shizhen stayed up all night.Returning to the motherland after a long absence, I can't tell whether it is excitement or excitement. Lingling came home from get off work early and prepared a sumptuous dinner for her husband. The husband and wife parted this time, which was the longest parting after their marriage. She had never had any worries or thoughts. The meals are ready, Lingling is sitting in the living room, sometimes looking at the phone, sometimes listening to the doorbell, she is even guessing whether her husband will change his appearance after spending five months studying in the United States!A woman's heart is all tied to her husband, and she is a bit nervous and excited like a first love date.

Lingling looked at the electronic clock in the middle of the living room from time to time. She silently counted the time. Lan Lan stood at the door of the room and said, "Mom, will Dad come back for dinner?" "No, they are still human after sitting on the plane for so long! They are not exhausted to death!" Just then, the doorbell rang. Lingling took three steps and made two steps at the same time, while striding forward, she said loudly, "Here we come!" As soon as the door opened, it was her husband who came back. Lingling took the big box from her husband, and Lan Lan took the backpack from her father.Lan Lan said: "Dad did really well this time!"

"Dad knows that his daughter misses him, so he doesn't do anything, and goes home to see his daughter first." Lingling said: "Go wash your face quickly. You are tired, eat first, then take a bath, and sleep well." Jia Shizhen said: "It's just dawn in the United States, and they have become people on the opposite side of the earth, and they still have jet lag!" Jia Shizhen came out of the bathroom, Lingling said: "I bought a bottle of French wine, welcome you, distinguished guest!" Jia Shizhen said: "I really can't go hungry on an international flight, I brought a bottle of XO, try it." As he spoke, he opened the big box, "Come on, Lan Lan, let's see what present Dad brought you."

Jia Shizhen took out all the presents for her daughter and wife, Lan Lan gestured and danced, Lingling held a dress, tried it on, and said, "Americans are nothing more than that!" "Americans are also human beings. They really don't pay much attention to clothes like China does. They care about pomp. They mainly consider leisure and comfort." Jia Shizhen opened the XO, poured two glasses, and said with the glass: "Lingling, thank you for your hard work!" Lingling said: "It's still you, a foreign doctor, who worked hard. If nothing else, you are considered a person who has seen the world, and your English must have improved a lot. Come and welcome!"

Lan Lan also raised her job bowl and said, "There's me too, welcome dad!" After dinner, Lingling cleaned up the housework like a whirlwind, and arranged for Lanlan to wait for her husband to take a shower.After the husband and wife separated for five months, she felt that she had no urgent demands on this aspect, but only thought about men. It is unbearable for a man not to touch a woman for five months, even a wooden person!The mood of the husband and wife is also the atmosphere created by the two of them.So Lingling adjusted the light at the head of the bed to be dim and blurry, and the quilt was folded wide, so that at first glance it was the posture of two people.After finishing all this, Lingling put on her pink underwear and half-lyed on the head of the bed.

After taking a shower, Jia Shizhen gently pushed open the bedroom door. She was wearing a long white pajamas and was about to ask Lingling what happened on the phone that day. Yue's thousands of troops galloped together, and he threw the long-distance fatigue and embarrassment out of the sky, like a great army, throwing off his pajamas as he ran, and rushed towards the woman. Although Jia Shizhen was dizzy and dizzy, her excitement center was extremely active, and many past events rushed into her eyes without any hindrance. The woman turned over lightly, put one arm around the man, and said vaguely: "Still...don't sleep..."

Jia Shizhen felt the sweetness of a woman, but felt uneasy and ominous in her heart, as if the happiness of a family, the sweetness between husband and wife was facing some unimaginable crisis.This terrible feeling gradually came to him.Thinking about the five months in the United States, even though foreign language learning during that time made them all look like elementary school students, he felt that life was so simple and carefree.Now that he has just set foot on the land of the motherland, the terrible thing of politics has arrived, and the troubles in the officialdom that he has put aside for several months seem to be quietly pressing on him.

The sweetness and happiness of this evening seemed to be covered up by some imminent conflict. How he wished that the family would always be this warm, that the husband and wife would always be as sweet and happy as this evening, and that life would always be carefree, but all of this was just personal. wish only. It wasn't until dawn that Jia Shizhen fell into a light sleep, a little groggy.He could clearly feel his wife getting up, even when she gently opened the bedroom door and then slowly closed it, he knew it clearly.But he just lay there motionless, how he wished he could actually fall into a deep sleep and sleep for a few hours, he was so tired and so exhausted.

Lingling ate breakfast in a hurry, dragging Lanlan to open the door, she turned around and went to the living room, and put the phone away. When she woke up in the afternoon, Jia Shizhen felt as if her whole body was paralyzed. She didn't eat two meals, and she didn't feel hungry.After washing his face, he came to the living room and found the note left by Lingling on the coffee table. It turned out that his wife had come back at noon. The organization department already knew that they had returned to China. Afterwards, Jia Shizhen called Secretary Chang of the Municipal Party Committee, but no one answered in Secretary Chang's office. After inquiring again, he found out that Secretary Chang had gone to Europe for an investigation in the latter part of his studies at the Central Party School, and it was estimated that he would return to the city in the near future.

Now that the secretary of the municipal party committee has not returned to his position, Jia Shizhen feels more at ease invisibly. However, for some reason, even though the months of studying in the United States suddenly changed back to the previous track, his mind was still full of those professors with yellow hair and blue eyes, and the pronunciation of English was still ringing in his ears .Jia Shizhen gradually withdrew her thoughts and began to sort out the knowledge she had learned in the past few months, and even began to consider combining the successful experience of the United States in books and classrooms with her own work.The purpose of the Provincial Party Committee at the time was very clear. It was to select and send a group of young, knowledgeable, and outstanding young leaders at the county and city levels to study in the United States. Apply the advanced science of the United States to China's practice, and change China's existing unreasonable management system as soon as possible.

During his stay in the United States, Jia Shizhen devoted himself wholeheartedly to theoretical study, and the courses were so overwhelming that he was practicing English even in his dreams.Now that I have returned to China, I unknowingly connect my work with the theories learned in the United States. Suddenly, I have a lot of inspiration, and many impulses that I have never had before come up like a spring. It wasn't until Lingling came back from get off work that Jia Shizhen let go of the plans and assumptions in his head that hadn't yet formed a system. Lingling said: "How is your rest? I came back at noon and wanted to get you something to eat. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I couldn't bear to disturb you, so I finished the meal and left a note. " "I finally had a good sleep. I couldn't fall asleep on the plane. Although I felt tired and sleepy, I just couldn't fall asleep." "Exciting?" "What's exciting? We're not at that age anymore." "You guys have seen the world. Not only have you been to the world's first-class country, but you have stayed there for so long. You drank foreign ink from North America and sea water from the Pacific Ocean, but your hair is still black and your eyes haven't changed. blue." "You don't know how hard it is! You say that the English of us people is of no use, even the level of elementary school students can't reach the level. When I first went there, sometimes I could only sleep for two or three hours a night, and my mind was full of anxiety. It's English." Lingling smiled and changed the subject: "Has Zhou Yilan contacted you?" Jia Shizhen was startled, looking at his wife, wondering what she meant. Lingling said, "You're back. I told Master Zhu not to pick us up tomorrow. At that time, Zhou Yilan called Master Zhu." Only then did Jia Shizhen secretly heave a sigh of relief, and said, "Let's talk about it, we'll take a three-day break due to jet lag, and we have to conclude. The leaders of the provincial party committee will be present, and I don't have time to see Lan Lan off." "Lingling, sit down." Jia Shizhen became serious, "I have been unable to let go of what happened. In the United States, when I heard you hesitate to speak on the phone, I guessed that something must have happened, honestly. Said, my heart can never let go." "Shizhen, I'm actually afraid of spoiling the atmosphere at home, and I'm even more afraid of affecting our relationship." Jia Shizhen opened her eyes wide and looked at his wife: "What's the matter?" Lingling hesitated for a while and said, "I didn't want to tell you about this, but Director Bu called that day, and it was he who took the initiative to ask me about my current work situation..." "Bu Yanyu?" "After hearing this, Director Bu was very angry. He said that there must be something famous in it. This is a serious issue of whether the cadre system can be made public, and how to deal with democracy. Director Bu even said that it is a blasphemy of democracy! If it is true If you do that, it's a violation of discipline!" Jia Shizhen still couldn't figure it out, but he felt from his wife's expression that it must have something to do with her. Lingling went on to say: "Zhang Zhiyun is now the head of the department!" Jia Shizhen nodded, remembering hearing Lingling talk about it before he went abroad.The current cadres are like this, where there is no wind, there is no wave. He has worked in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee for eight years, and the promotion of cadres is very subtle and mysterious.In other words, people who are promoted have their own ways, and outsiders don't know the secrets. "Half a month ago, Lao Liu, the full-time deputy secretary of the agency's party committee in the department, retired and wanted to re-elect the agency's party committee. Director Zhang talked to me and said that I had been the deputy director for five or six years and asked me to participate in the agency's party committee re-election. Strive to be elected as the deputy secretary of the party committee, since he is at the director level, and the work is not too busy." Hearing what his wife said, Jia Shizhen felt a little strange.Of course he knew that in the provincial organs, due to the difficulty in the flow of cadres at the division level, most of the young comrades in each department were suppressed.Although Lingling had been the deputy director for five or six years, it was because of his influence in the organization department of the provincial party committee.In some departments and bureaus, there are many comrades in their forties or above at the department level.Ordinarily, Lingling is not yet forty years old, and it is not her turn to be promoted to the director.What's more, Zhang Zhiyun had some opinions on Zhang Jingyuan because of Zhang Jingyuan's promotion, so why did Zhang Zhiyun promote Lingling? Based on Jia Shizhen's understanding of provincial agencies for so many years in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, how could it be possible for Lingling to be the deputy secretary of the party committee of the agency?The deputy secretaries of the party committees of most departments and bureaus are almost old division chiefs in order to make way for the position, or the qualifications of the deputy division chiefs are too old and there is no position of division chief, so they are arranged to go to the party committee of the agency.And in Lingling's case, if it is necessary to appoint the deputy secretary of the party committee of the department at the top level, it will not be too late in ten years!A big question mark appeared in Jia Shizhen's mind. "On the day of the election, Director Zhang attached great importance to it, and even specially invited comrades from the Organization Department of the Work Committee." Lingling was telling a story at this time, "According to the regulations, there is a difference in the election within the party, so seven committee members recommended it. Eight candidates. According to the eight candidates, I don’t think I’ll be the first or second in the votes, and it’s okay to be the third and fourth.” At this point, Lingling stopped, leaned back on the sofa, and said Sighed, and never said a word. Jia Shizhen looked at his wife and felt the helplessness and sadness on her face. He didn't know what happened.But Jia Shizhen suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He didn't think about it, and looked at his wife quietly. He felt that with his current role as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Organization of the Municipal Party Committee, he could completely allow his wife to enjoy being a husband and wife. Rong, or let his wife hide under his big tree to enjoy the shade.However, it was only because of a small Zhang Jingyuan that caused so many ups and downs now, Jia Shizhen felt a little inexplicable anger and annoyance in his heart. After a long time like this, Lingling said: "Shizhen, in fact, this matter is entirely my fault. I should have thought that it is impossible for pie to fall from the sky. I should not participate in the election of the party committee of this organ. It is not very good to be the deputy director. okay?" "Lingling, tell me slowly, until now I still don't know what happened." "During the election that day, the atmosphere was very grand, solemn, and solemn. All the party members in the hall, including retired veteran comrades, totaled more than 160 people. After all procedures were completed, secret ballots began. The party members adjourned. But what is strange is that there was no public singing and counting of votes on the spot." Jia Shizhen opened her eyes wide: "Why?" Lingling shook her head, and continued: "The ballot box was taken away at that time. No one knew where it went, and no one knew how the votes were counted. Half an hour later, the deputy director in charge announced at the general party meeting result." Lingling stopped suddenly, stood up, and went into the bathroom without saying a word. Jia Shizhen stared blankly at Lingling's leaving back, feeling a dull pain in her heart.His wife must be sad and in pain at the moment, although he doesn't know what the result will be, but this is already clear, he can understand his wife's feelings, and it's not that important to be an official, but fooling people is not just a moral issue , there may be a deeper, frightening hidden secret.Jia Shizhen felt ashamed of his wife, and even felt like someone had slapped Jia Shizhen on the face twice. Jia Shizhen touched her face subconsciously, there was a burning sensation on her face, and her heart seemed to stop beating.If this happened in a primitive society, or in a battlefield where bayonets were red, it would be understandable and excusable.However, today has come to the 21st century, and it is the era of political civilization and democratic politics. If such absurd story did not happen to his family and his wife, he might never believe it, and he might think it was true. A story in a fairy tale kingdom. Jia Shizhen came to the door of the bathroom, but did not speak, only to see Lingling turn on the faucet and let the tap water flow.Jia Shizhen felt that Lingling seemed to be sobbing.His nasal cavity was sore for a while, and he didn't know how to face his wife. Lingling seemed to have noticed her husband and buried her head in the pool. After a while, she raised her head and her face was covered in water.Jia Shizhen took the towel casually, Lingling took it, wiped it carelessly, and walked into the living room without making a sound. The two were silent for a long time, and never said anything about the party committee vote of the Department of Culture. During dinner, Bu Yanyu called. Jia Shizhen answered the phone and said, "Director Bu will come right away." Lingling said: "Shizhen, forget it. Director Bu must find out. He also said that these people have trampled on the party constitution and desecrated democracy. It is too courageous for a dignified provincial government to form a department and a department-level unit." Jia Shizhen's face turned blue and white, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, and lit one, when Lan Lan was about to step forward to stop her, Lingling grabbed her daughter and waved her hand. After a while, the doorbell rang, and Jia Shizhen hurriedly opened the door. Before Bu Yanyu could enter, he held Jia Shizhen's hand tightly and said, "Good guy, our Dr. Yang is finally back! Thin, really thin. " Jia Shizhen gave up her seat and said, "Lingling, bring me my good tea." Lingling finished making tea and said, "Shizhen, make an exception today, you and Director Bu will smoke friendship cigarettes!" Bu Yanyu picked up the Zhonghua cigarettes on the table and said, "Shizhen, since Madam approves, we will smoke. It's a rare opportunity. It's rare for a thousand cigarettes to meet a bosom friend!" The two chatted for a while, and Bu Yanyu said: "Shizhen, let's find time to chat slowly about the situation in the United States. I know that you are going to focus on summarizing your learning experience in the United States soon, so I will ignore your rest and come to see you." Jia Shizhen said, "Really!" Bu Yanyu looked at Lingling and said, "Sister-in-law Lingling, sit down too and listen to my point of view." Lingling said, "Director Bu, I don't want to do that again..." Bu Yanyu waved his hand: "I already have a preliminary understanding of this matter. Shizhen, this Zhang Zhiyun, has only been the director of the department for a few days, whether he has opinions on his comrades or retaliation, how can he do such undisciplined things? How old is it now?" Bu Yanyu said angrily, "The central government has repeatedly emphasized that the issue of cadres must be open, fair, and impartial. However, in the election of the party committee of the Department of Culture, the voting was very formal, but after the voting, it was not in front of everyone. Party members voted and counted votes face-to-face, but a few people took the ballot box away and announced the votes of candidates who had made up a long time ago. And the votes of party members were not counted at all! What a fucking bear, what the hell Son!" Jia Shizhen looked at Bu Yanyu with wide eyes: "Is this really the case?" "It's absolutely true." "Why do you want to do this?" "Lingling was dropped by the difference!" Bu Yanyu's face was livid with anger, "No one believes that the woman with the most votes! One hundred and sixty-eight people voted, and she got one hundred and sixty-five votes. As far as I know, this woman can More than half of the votes is not bad, and she actually said that she got that many votes!" "This is too ridiculous!" Jia Shizhen looked at Bu Yanyu in a daze, "Then what about the votes cast by party members?" "I don't know!" Bu Yanyu said, "Anyway, the ballot box was not opened at that time, but the pre-prepared results were announced." "Director Bu, is this really the case?" Jia Shizhen handed Bu Yanyu a cigarette, and the two smoked in silence for a while. "I asked Lao Qiao, who participated in the election of the Department of Culture at the time, from the Organization Department of the Work Committee, and it was completely confirmed." Bu Yanyu said seriously, "I asked Lao Qiao, why didn't you participate in counting the votes? In a hurry, he said he didn't know where the ballot box was taken." Jia Shizhen took a deep breath and said, "How could this happen? Who is so presumptuous?" "Who would dare?" Bu Yanyu said, "Except for the highest authority, who would dare? Isn't this obvious?" "Is he not afraid of violating discipline?" Jia Shizhen said. "Shizhen," Bu Yanyu smiled angrily, "what are the top leaders of some units afraid to do? He knows very well that no leading organization will seriously investigate and deal with such matters. Just investigate, and there will be What result? It didn't cause any fatal consequences!" Bu Yanyu poked half of the cigarette in the ashtray and extinguished it vigorously, "But he met me, Bu Yanyu, I will never 'keep silent', I must talk about this matter It is impossible to get the truth out, although it is impossible to have any influence on the black hat of the director, but I must make him ugly, let the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and the Work Committee of the Office know what kind of director he is. Who pushed such a person to the position of director! It can be seen that our current method of selecting cadres has selected something! God knows!" Jia Shizhen didn't say a word, just smoked silently. After a while, Jia Shizhen shook her head: "I really didn't expect it. It seems that on the one hand, this matter is aimed at me, Jia Shizhen, on the other hand..." "That woman surnamed Wu actually won the highest vote, 165 votes. No one would believe it! Lingling only got 52 votes, and she was dropped!" When Bu Yanyu said the result, Jia Shizhen's expression The color changed all of a sudden, the face turned purple in patches, and the nose looked like a crooked eggplant! "According to my investigation, the woman surnamed Wu was transferred to the cultural department through Zhang Zhiyun. Some people reported that their relationship is ambiguous. This woman has a very poor foundation among the masses. If she votes, it will be hard to get half of the votes. And Lingling is absolutely impossible to only get fifty. Two votes, according to normal voting, Lingling should have around 134 votes." After listening to Bu Yanyu's introduction, the wrinkles on Jia Shizhen's forehead criss-crossed, and the veins in his neck bulged out. Lingling lowered her head silently, as if she had made some mistake. After she knew the truth of the matter, her husband must have been very conflicted. According to Jia Shizhen's temper, she would not let it go. However, This matter has a close relationship with him, so he has been suppressing himself. After all, he is no longer the teacher of the party school of the prefectural party committee. Not only has he worked in the organization department of the provincial party committee for eight years, he is now a member of the standing committee of the municipal party committee and the head of the organization of the municipal party committee! Lingling finally said: "Forget it, let them go, what else can they do to me!" "Sister-in-law Lingling, this is not your personal problem. The party has party discipline, and the state has state laws." Bu Yanyu said, "I have already discussed this matter seriously with Minister Qian, Secretary Zhang of the Disciplinary Committee of the Work Committee of the Government, and Comrade Liu Changsheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Disciplinary Committee. How could such a thing happen, as if I was talking in my sleep. Everyone said, we must find out. Of course, their other purpose is to suspect that there are other reasons for this, and hope to clarify the facts, so I will use my plan .” Jia Shizhen still didn't express any clear opinions. When Bu Yanyu was sent away, Director Bu went downstairs, and the two were still thinking about it.Before parting, Jia Shizhen firmly held Bu Yanyu's hand, and the two hugged in unison. The summary meeting for the trainees of the senior leadership cadre training course in the United States is over.Jia Shizhen didn't know if there would be any changes in his work after returning from studying in the United States this time. He even waited anxiously for the conversation between the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee and the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.But last night at the banquet attended by the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee, Minister Qian said that it is impossible for the trainees going to the US training class to adjust at present, and everyone will return to their jobs immediately.He also said that the central research team fully affirmed the reform of the cadre and personnel system in Xiyu through research. It was already past ten o'clock after the dinner, and the car from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee took him to the gate of the community. This was a rare opportunity, and Jia Shizhen was also very excited and excited, so naturally he drank a lot of wine.During their stay in the United States, they not only became authentic students, but also lived as hard as thousands of Chinese students studying abroad.At today's welcome banquet, naturally everyone was so excited and excited, and even let go of their drinking. Although Jia Shizhen was not drunk, she felt somewhat involuntary under her feet.Just as he was about to enter the gate of the community, a person next to him stopped in front of him.Jia Shizhen was taken aback, and the man said, "Minister Jia..." Jia Shizhen was taken aback: "Who? What?" "Jia, Minister..." The man stepped back two steps to the side. Jia Shizhen walked towards the gate vigilantly, and the man followed up and said, "Minister Jia, I'm Hou Yongwen..." Jia Shizhen stopped in her tracks and stared at that person strangely: "You are Hou Yongwen? You, haven't you been transferred to the Civil Affairs Department to be the deputy director?" At this time, Jia Shizhen had already entered the gate of the community. Under the light, Jia Shizhen looked at the man in front of him again. When he was sure that he was Hou Yongwen, Jia Shizhen stopped at the door of the reception room. "Deputy Director Hou, what can you do with me? You are now a department-level cadre of a provincial agency, and you have a lot of magical powers!" "Minister Jia, you don't count the faults of villains. I really didn't think that you were really the head of the organization of the municipal party committee. I, I am too..." Hou Yongwen said awkwardly. Of course, at this moment, that ironic joke appeared in both of their minds at the same time.What Hou Yongwen said was the truth. Of course he didn't know that a dignified head of the organization of the municipal party committee had hidden his identity and went to the countryside. Why did he pretend to be the secretary of the township party committee? After being locked up all night, Hou Yongwen felt that the most stupid and absurd thing he had done in his life was that. There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings.Back then, Hou Yongwen never thought that the duck he got would suddenly fly away!As a secretary of the township party committee, he was able to work hard to get the candidate for the deputy county magistrate, and the inspection went smoothly. He only needs to get the nomination documents from the municipal party committee and the Standing Committee of the County People's Congress convenes, and he will become the glorious deputy county magistrate!How difficult and difficult it is!But just when everything was about to become a reality, the head of the organization of the municipal party committee changed. According to the usual situation, how could the new head of organization of the city party committee ask so many candidates for promotion, and he would definitely follow the established policy.But he never expected that Jia Shizhen, who does not eat fireworks on earth, would come to Taohua Town where he is located by a strange coincidence!There are four counties and two districts in the city, and there are more than one hundred towns and towns. Why does he have to go to Taohua Town?Every time he thinks that he locked up the head of the organization department of the municipal party committee overnight, his heart hurts like a knife.In particular, Xiayu County Party Secretary Qiao Baiming had an accident. His half-brother, Gao Xingming, the former executive deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, was "double-regulated". After the hall, he will never be restricted by Jia Shizhen again. However, unexpectedly, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection chased him and refused to let him go.Hou Yongwen believed that Jia Shizhen was taking revenge on him and wanted to put him to death.He managed to find out when Jia Shizhen came back from studying abroad, and faced Jia Shizhen again with fear. After a while of turmoil, Hou Yongwen suddenly grabbed Jia Shizhen, and knelt at Jia Shizhen's feet with tears in his eyes: "Minister Jia, please forgive me, I have no grievances with you in the past, and I will have no hatred in the future..." Jia Shizhen was at a loss for a while, he never thought that Hou Yongwen would do this, so he said sharply: "Hou Yongwen, what are you doing! Get up..." "Minister Jia..." Hou Yongwen hugged Jia Shizhen's legs tightly, "Do something good, I..." Jia Shizhen was confused, stretched out his hand to Hou Yongwen and said, "Hou Yongwen, I am the head of the Organization Department, but you are no longer under the jurisdiction of the Organization Department of the Xiyu Municipal Party Committee. What do you mean?" "It's not you, and the Xiyu City Commission for Discipline Inspection and the others wouldn't..." Only then did Jia Shizhen remember that Zhang Yaxin, Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Disciplinary Inspection, had called him before he left the country. When he talked about the trial of Xiayu County Party Secretary Qiao Baiming, he brought out Hou Yongwen, Party Secretary of Taohua Town.So Jia Shizhen said: "Hou Yongwen, you can't even figure out this point, but you are still a department-level cadre? What does the investigation and punishment of cadres' violations have to do with the organization department? It's really baffling!" "But Minister Jia..." Hou Yongwen hugged Jia Shizhen's leg tightly, "I heard that it was you...you were the one who locked you up with me for a whole night and kept you in your heart..." Jia Shizhen couldn't bear it anymore, she turned her head to look at the security guard standing next to her, and said loudly, "Comrade security guard, please pull him away, that's unreasonable!" Hou Yongwen was forcibly taken away, and Hou Yongwen wiped out Jia Shizhen's excitement and excitement at the banquet just now. Now that I think about it, Hou Yongwen's behavior just now may not be because he doesn't understand the functions of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Organization Department, and it is definitely not because of Hou Yongwen's ignorance. Maybe someone gave him advice. Jia Shizhen's mind was fully awake. As he was walking home, he thought that it would be better to live a simple and hard-working student life in the United States. He had just returned home for a few days, and he hadn't had any specific work yet, so many things happened. The mood became more and more complicated. When Jia Shizhen returned to Xiyu, her life seemed to be the same as before. As the consciousness of the head of the organization of the municipal party committee continued to return to her place, the life in the United States at that time gradually faded away. Early the next morning, when Jia Shizhen was about to go out, Wei Bingqian came. After half a year of separation, the two were very cordial. Wei Bingqian held Jia Shizhen's hand and was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time.Wei Bingqian felt a thousand words in his heart but didn't know where to start. As he talked, he talked about the two department-level cadres transferred by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee during Minister Jia's study. "That's right," Wei Bingqian said, "about two months after you and Secretary Chang left, two department-level leading cadres were transferred from the province. , and the other is Ge Xiaoqing, director of the Civil Affairs Bureau." Jia Shizhen didn't speak, but stared blankly at Wei Binggan, and finally said after a long time, "Oh, you said it on the phone." Wei Bingqian shook his head, and the two never spoke again.After a while, Jia Shizhen picked up the cigarettes on the coffee table, took one for herself, and handed another to Wei Bingqian. The two people who were not very good at smoking unexpectedly started to smoke heavily.Of course, as Jia Shizhen, the head of the organization department of the municipal party committee, he has no reason not to obey the decision of the organization department of the provincial party committee.In China's land of 9.6 million square kilometers, this is the national condition.That's what power is.It is proper and normal for the provincial party committee to send a cadre to the city, not to mention the county level, but also the deputy city level or city level leader.Although before he and secretary chang went abroad, the leaders of the provincial party committee made clear regulations on the two major issues of cadres and finances after they left office, but the cadres sent by the province are another matter.Although Jia Shizhen is the head of the organization of the Municipal Party Committee, he is studying in the United States, so it is impossible for the province to send two division-level officials to ask him to come back from the United States.Thinking of this, Jia Shizhen snuffed out the unfinished half of the cigarette in the ashtray. "Go, Bingqian, to the office." According to the usual practice, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee arranges for cadres to exercise in cities and counties, or communicates with the leaders of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee in advance if there are special circumstances that need to be taken care of.However, Xiyu's cadre work has always been in a special period, which is well known.For example, Cheng Wenwu, Secretary Chang's secretary, and the promotion of Zhang Jingyuan and Zhuang Tonggao to the deputy director level, although he and Secretary Chang had decided to hold a meeting of the Standing Committee when they were about to leave for study, they still failed to implement it.However, at this critical moment, the province dispatched two department-level cadres, which will not only arouse public discussion, but may even have a certain impact on the next step in the reform of the cadre and personnel system. No matter how you say it, life has returned to its old color. Yesterday, today and tomorrow, the sunrise and sunset are simply repeated, going to and from get off work, day after day. How is the preparation of the minister's thesis for studying in the United States?The Provincial Party Committee and the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee attach great importance to the gains of the students in each training course in the United States. Not only must each student write a valuable paper, but they must also compile the papers into a book, within a certain range. Let everyone read.In addition, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee also hopes that comrades with expertise can write works of various themes, including novels and documentary literature.What Jia Shizhen is thinking about now is how to apply the advanced management methods of the United States to the current work.He even attached great importance to the different opinions on the Internet about his reform of the cadre and personnel system.Some people support it, some people oppose it. In addition to seriously reflecting on himself, Jia Shizhen deserves more attention. Some people say that he is an improvement, not a reform.In fact, Jia Shizhen thinks that he still can't reach that height.Of course he knows, can the cadres in the true sense be selected based on the culture test alone?Others said that he was an idealized figure, not qualified to be the head of the municipal party committee organization.Therefore, how to write his thesis, so far has no clue.If it is just to play word games and complete errands, he only needs to drive two night trains, and he will be able to come up with a first-class paper. However, Jia Shizhen is not willing to just deal with errands. It can solve the difficult problems that people are puzzled by at present. For some reason, Jia Shizhen has been back in Xiyu for more than a week, and Secretary Chang also asked him to meet him once. The two cadres sent by the county, although these two department-level cadres are nothing in the province, they are important positions in the city.Since Secretary Chang didn't mention it, Jia Shizhen had no choice but to pretend to be deaf and dumb.However, gossip in the society kept spreading. Some people said that Wei Xu, the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the municipal party committee, was the nephew of a certain leader of the provincial party committee. .It is said that Ge Xiaoqing is the nephew of a certain leader in the province, and after being gilded, she returned to the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs as the deputy director.Others say that Jia Shizhen is just a liar pretending to be a reformer, who is better than Zhao Benshan, and came to Xiyu to sell abductees! These gossips soon reached Jia Shizhen's ears, and Jia Shizhen could only laugh it off.What he considers is that no matter how to reform the cadre and personnel system in the next step, the difficulties will be even greater.As soon as there is a little trouble here, the higher-ups may know about it. The Standing Committee of the Xiyu City Committee held a standing committee meeting. This was the first time that Chang Youlian, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Jia Shizhen, Organization Director of the Municipal Party Committee, had returned to Xiyu City after completing their respective study tasks. The content of the Standing Committee this time is very simple. First, Chang Youlian, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, introduced the study situation of the Central Party School. It seems that Chang Youlian’s study has really benefited a lot.中央政治局九个常委有三人分别讲了课，常友连引用了因发表《民主是个好东西》一文而格外为海内外关注的俞可平的一句话：“政治体制改革不是一件'应当'的事，而是一件'必须'做的事。” 常友连还说，在北京学习期间，中央组织部和中央体制改革研究中心负责同志专门把他找到办公室去，重点谈了西臾前段时间那场干部人事制度改革的问题。 常友连说中央体制改革研究中心的负责同志还特别引用了1986年6月28日邓小平在中央政治局常委会上的一段话：“政治体制改革同经济体制改革应该相互依赖，相互配合，只搞经济体制改革，不搞政治体制改革，经济体制改革也搞不通，因为首先遇到人的障碍。” 常友连显然很兴奋，接着说：“在《小平未了心愿》这篇文章里，还引用了邓小平的一段话：'总的来讲要消除官僚主义，发展社会主义民主，调动人民和基层单位的积极性。'” 尽管常委会之前通报了会议内容，但让常委们感到意外的是常书记的学习精神传达居然用了一个上午的时间，更让常委们吃惊的是，常书记对于干部人事制度改革发表了许多让常委们过去想都不敢想的观点。 下午在讨论时，常委们先是就常书记的观点从理论上谈了各自的看法，随着讨论的深入，也说不清是谁带的头，话题逐步转到干部制度改革这样一个十分敏感的话题上去了。当这样一个极为敏感的话题被摆到市委常委会上来争论时，有些常委开始大胆地发表了看法，以至九名常委，明显形成了两种不同意见，一种是主张改革的意见，另一种则是反对改革，主张观望等待。 贾士贞一直沉默寡言，常友连多次暗示贾士贞发表意见，可他总是一脸严肃，没有发表任何自己观点。当然，在场的常委们都知道，贾部长刚从美国学习回来，肯定有许多新的观点、新的见解，尤其是对下一步干部制度如何深入改革的问题，都希望听听贾部长有些什么与众不同的看法，特别是经历了前段时间西臾大规模的疾风暴雨式干部人事制度改革之后，贾士贞没有去中央党校学习，反而去美国培训，这其中到底意味着什么？不仅西臾的干部群众关注这样一个问题，市委常委们也同样感到其中必有文章。 贾士贞不仅在讨论时没有过多地发表自己的观点，而且在他汇报赴美国培训的收获时，也是只讲在美国所见所闻，以及学习的内容，很少加入自己的观点。 市委常委会议结束后，常友连单独和贾士贞交换了两人各自这段时间学习的感受。 不管怎么说，贾士贞被常书记的真诚所感动，但是他说：“常书记，你知道在常委会上关于今后干部制度如何改革的讨论我为什么一直没有参与讨论吗？不是我没有观点，也不是我有什么顾忌，而是政治这个东西，其实不是我们这些人研究的。马、恩、列认为'一切阶级斗争都是政治斗争'，'政治就是各阶级之间的斗争'，'政治是一种科学，是一种艺术'。当然如果认真去解释”政治“二字的话，也不是一句话两句话能说得清的。而我们作为基层政权的掌握者，则是把政治这个社会现象和社会的上层建筑，在实际工作中正确地体现出来。这种体现方式，其中最敏感的正是干部人事制度，说到干部人事制度，自然又是民主和法制问题。”说到这里，贾士贞一脸严肃，“我到西臾之后，所做的一切表现得不太成熟，仅凭自己一时的热情，在具体做法上也过激了些，冒进了些。” “士贞，”常友连的声音低沉，显得那么亲切、那么和蔼真诚，“说实话，我们虽然也都到了市厅级领导干部的岗位上，但是缺乏系统的政治理论学习，工作中只是靠自己的经验，毛主席批评过的经验主义！过去的说法叫做只是低头拉车，不抬头看路。我真的没有想到，这次到中央党校学习几个月，对我是一次灵魂的洗礼和政治觉悟的再提高。”常友连站起来，递给贾士贞一支香烟，“士贞，过去的事咱们就不说了，有些工作，我这个市委书记对你的支持还不够，或者说还是有看法的。其实，人有缺点并不是什么耻辱，正如有人戏言的那样，世界上每个人都是被上帝咬过一口的苹果，都是有缺陷的。任何一个人知识、水平、能力都是有限的，局部的；生活在复杂的社会环境中，有缺点错误是正常的，没有缺点错误，才是不正常的。积极主动地改掉缺点错误就是好同志，不去改正缺点错误是不求进取的表现。真正的耻辱是明知自己有缺点错误，却不去认识自己的缺点错误，不积极改正自己的缺点错误。” 常友连边走边说，回到自己的座位上，看着贾士贞，脸上的表情还是那样的和蔼可亲，贾士贞觉得常书记变了，不单是变得和蔼可亲，而是变得让他感到一种真诚的民主。 常书记接着说：“一个人，承认缺点错误是要勇气的，当然也是痛苦的，改正缺点错误却是幸福的。认识到缺点错误是改正的转机，理性反思，积极深刻地进行自我反省，这就是大彻大悟，也是战胜自我的开始。” 贾士贞看着常书记，虽然对常书记的话有点摸不着头绪，但对他也同样是一次教育，一次提高。 只是，常友连始终没有谈到今后的具体工作，没有涉及到西臾过去干部人事制度改革，以及未来改革的设想。 这样沉默了许久，常友连终于说：“士贞，我知道你从美国回来后为什么突然间变得沉默寡言了，就你的个性，就你的思想，或许在你的头脑里还没有形成一个较为成熟的改革方案。但是，还有一件事是否多多少少在影响着你。”说到这里常友连停住了，他一改往常的习惯，拿烟，缓解气氛。而且目不转睛地看着贾士贞，俏皮！简直让人觉得有些好笑，特别是他的表情，不是无可奈何，而是不知所措！贾士贞的心突突地撞得像一个沉重的钟，俏皮！常友连轻轻地拉开抽屉，犹豫了片刻，取出两张纸，递给贾士贞。 “士贞，这种事我早该告诉你，甚至你在美国时我都想打电话告诉你。”常友连把“告诉”这两个字说得重而且拉长了声音。 贾士贞默默地看着这两张纸，这是韦旭和葛晓晴俩人的基本情况介绍，既不是干部任免呈报表，也不是干部履历表，而是自己打印的个人情况介绍。 “士贞。”常友连严肃起来了，让人感到他非常慎重，“这事来得很突然，为了这事，省里领导还特地打电话让我从中央党校回来一趟，我当时提出来，能不能等我们俩学习结束后再办理……”常友连摆摆手，虽然没有说下去，可贾士贞完全想到了当时是什么样的场合。 贾士贞站了起来，把那两张纸放回常友连的桌子上，脸上似乎没有什么表情。 “士贞，现在看来，干部问题确实是我们各级党委、组织部门必须引起高度重视的大问题。”常友连瞥一眼那张纸，“现在有些干部从上面派下来是为了锻炼、培养，可有的避免不了照顾关系和曲线提拔啊！” “常书记，”贾士贞严肃起来了，“上面派下来的干部，作为下级党委、组织部门，当然是没有价钱可以讲的，因为我们必须服从权力。你和我都是上面派下来的干部，谁能说个'不'字？况且干部的素质、能力又没有一个标准。说一句不好听的话，还是那句话：'说你行你就行，不行也行；说你不行你就不行，行也不行。'但是……”贾士贞没有说下去。 “是啊，士贞。”常友连说，“这个问题恐怕在美国也解决不了。” 贾士贞摇摇头，说：“美国和中国是两回事，在官员的选拔上不好相比。” 常友连笑笑，递一支香烟给贾士贞。 “常书记，像这样的两个干部，即使派到市里来，安排到什么位置，还应该由市委常委决定。” “士贞，你在省委组织部干了那么多年，有些干部岂是你们机关干部处、市县干部处能够决定得了的？部长怎么办，书记怎么办？” 是啊，常友连突然将了贾士贞一军，贾士贞一时无言以对。 谁知常友连的这句话所产生的效力实在是大得奇怪。贾士贞甚至觉得第一次败在常书记的手下。 市委组织部来了一位常务副部长，不光是组织部的工作人员不敢轻视，作为组织部长贾士贞也必须重视。他不知道他不在家的那些日子里，韦旭是怎么工作的。现在他回来了，他不得不考虑部长们的分工问题。韦旭不同于其他副部长，他不仅是从省里下来的，更重要的他是省委某领导的亲戚，这正是贾士贞感到的压力。 从刚才常书记给他的那张纸看，韦旭从部队转业时只是一个副营职干事，当时转业到省发改委，两年后就提拔为副处长。凭贾士贞对省级机关和省发改委的了解，省发改委可是一个高学历、人才集中的地方，许多国内名牌大学毕业生，而且都是经济相关专业的硕士、博士生，怎么一个军队副营职转业干部能够转业到这样的单位呢？而且这么快就提拔为副处长、正处级副处长了？在这一瞬间，贾士贞的头脑里忽然产生一个怀疑，是不是省委某领导意识到，像韦旭这样资历的干部在省发改委再发展下去已经不那么理直气壮了，所以干脆下到市里镀镀金，再考虑提拔。 回到办公室，贾士贞看看表，就拨通韦旭的电话。韦旭一听说部长找他，立即跑了过来。一进贾士贞办公室的门，便立正，像军人似的，敬了个礼，大声说：“报告首长！韦旭向您报到！” 贾士贞觉得有些好笑，微笑着点点头，从座位上站起来，主动伸出手；韦旭双手早已一把逮住贾士贞的手，热情得让贾士贞插不上嘴。韦旭留给贾士贞的印象真的不错。中等身材，四方脸，小分头蓬松而整齐，似乎还透出点军人的风采。 无论贾士贞说什么，韦旭一概表示赞成，恭维的话说得贾士贞全身汗毛都竖了起来。
