Chapter 8 Chapter Eight

Although the conversation between Jia Shizhen and Zhang Jingyuan was not deadlocked, it was not pleasant. This was what Jia Shizhen had thought of in advance. It was like this in the officialdom. Father curse mother.Before Jia Shizhen came to Xiyu, he thought more than once that if he wanted to be a peace officer, the Minister of Organization would be a pretty good springboard.In three or two years, he might become the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. At that time, he was just in his early forties, and he would soon be the mayor and secretary of the municipal party committee.Before the age of fifty, you might be able to go to the deputy provincial level.However, in Jia Shizhen's heart, during the years when he was the head of the cadre department of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, he believed that China's cadre personnel system was bound to face a major reform change.And this kind of reform cannot be like the original reform of the rural economic system. The central government did not have a document, and the localities started to do it first. This kind of reform must be summed up and improved from practice. In any case, the pre-appointment public announcement is a major reform and progress of the cadre personnel system.Later, after research by the Organization Department of the Central Committee, it was written into the Central Committee's "Regulations on the Appointment and Removal of Cadres", and then all regions followed suit.After Jia Shizhen went to the Organization Department of the Xiyu Municipal Party Committee, he saw the list of cadres to be promoted and the inspection materials that Gao Ming gave him. Regardless of the consequences, he quietly went to Xiayu County for a private visit alone. What he dared not think about, this strengthened his determination to reform the existing cadre inspection, selection, and appointment system.Even if he took a detour or made a mistake in the process, he would never look back.He doesn't want to be a mediocre official, let alone a corrupt official.However, for a leader, one can imagine that the risk of reform is great, and it turns out that most reformers will give up halfway until they die.

At this moment, Jia Shizhen rang a few times at the open door, and then a person came in. When Jia Shizhen raised his head, he saw that it was Zhuang Tonggao. At this moment, Jia Shizhen felt that Zhuang Tonggao had become thinner, and the cheeks on both sides The bones were already high, but now they are more prominent, like two symmetrical hillocks.But the gray hair was gone, it was already full of black hair, Jia Shizhen understood at a glance, now that technology is so advanced, just a smear of baking oil, half an hour, can turn white hair into black.Jia Shizhen nodded at Zhuang Tonggao, and then stood up from the chair. Zhuang Tonggao thought that the leader was about to pour tea for him, so he hurriedly stopped Minister Jia. The teacup poured him a glass of boiled water.After sitting down, Jia Shizhen said: "Comrade Zhuang Tonggao, do you have anything to do with me?" Zhuang Tonggao was stunned by this question. It was obvious that Zhang Jingyuan said that Minister Jia was looking for them to talk, so why did Minister Jia ask him if he had anything to do?Zhuang Tonggao became suspicious and said, "Section Chief Zhang said you were looking for me!"

Jia Shizhen smiled and said, "Comrade Zhang Jingyuan told you that I was looking for you?" "Yes!" Zhuang Tonggao hesitated, as if he stood up to say goodbye. Jia Shizhen said: "Since we're here, let's chat!" In fact, after Jia Shizhen talked with Zhang Jingyuan, he changed his mind a bit, and wanted Zhang Jingyuan to disclose the content of his conversation, not only Zhuang Tonggao, but even several others. Section chiefs have a process of psychological preparation, so that a sudden downpour will not make them dizzy.Who knew that Zhang Jingyuan would pull such a prank.

Jia Shizhen thought, since we are here, let’s see what Zhuang Tonggao’s mentality is like, so we slowly talked about family, work, and body. Of course, Zhuang Tonggao knew that Minister Jia’s opening remarks were a kind of retreat, and in the end it must be for him. Although he didn't have the illusion of Zhang Jingyuan's job change, he knew that he was the county and district cadre section chief of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee after all. Even the important positions that the leaders of the four sets of teams in the county and districts cannot ignore. It should be said that he has the same weight as the head of the organization department. The position at the county level is equivalent to waiting for him there.It's just that when Minister Jia came, he was the first to be operated on.He was asked to sign the investigation materials of those people, but he failed to do so. He was asked to draw up a manuscript on the reform of the personnel system for cadres, but he has not written a word so far.Of course he thought that Minister Jia would definitely kick him out of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee.But he didn't believe that several deputy ministers, especially Gao Ming, would not speak up for him.Of course, the possibility of asking him to be the head of the organization of the county party committee is even more remote. He is already in his fifties, and the leaders of the county are already busy transferring to the city when they are approaching fifty. He can't reverse the car.So his idea is very realistic, he only hopes to stay in the city and get a deputy bureau level, and it will be quite face-saving to enjoy the treatment.After coming out of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, he is busy at the deputy director level after all. He is a decent leader in the city, and he can be regarded as a person wherever he goes. The reception and etiquette have also been upgraded to a higher level.Even if it is a unit with a job but no authority, it doesn't matter.When Zhuang Tonggao thought this way, he first got some comfort in his heart, and felt that his thoughts were logical, so he was naturally confident.

After Jia Shizhen made a long opening remark, she stopped and stood up to add water to Zhuang Tonggao. Zhuang Tonggao took a sip of water, coughed twice and said, "Minister Jia, I have accompanied three ministers in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and you are the fourth comrade who has worked for more than ten years and is older than me in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. It’s running out, you can find out when I, Zhuang Tonggao, was not cautious and behaved with my tail between my legs. To put it mildly, Minister Jia..." Zhuang Tonggao’s voice suddenly became hoarse and choked, and then With tears in his eyes, he continued, "To say something that shouldn't be said, those of us subordinates who do specific work are like those eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty in the organization department. No matter what the leader says, we can only say 'cha'."

Jia Shizhen interrupted Zhuang Tonggao's words: "It's exaggerated!" In my heart, I feel that this is not like a cadre and section chief of the organization department of the municipal party committee. It's so angry and funny. "Minister Jia, I know what you mean, because you gave us a big blow as soon as you took office. It can be said that I have long felt that my days in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee are numbered. What an extravagant hope." Zhuang Tonggao said. Jia Shizhen said: "Then talk about it, whether it's your extravagant hope or wish, let's talk about it."

Zhuang Tonggao smiled and said, "Minister Jia has been in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee for so many years, and he has just been promoted from the Director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to the Director of the Organization Department of the Xiyu City Party Committee. No one knows the rules of the organization department. The directors of the Organization Department, whoever transfers out of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee are either deputy directors, members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, or the head of the Organization Department. The same is true for the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. example!"

Jia Shizhen laughed: "Comrade Zhuang Tonggao has studied very deeply. It seems that you must be very confident and have already made arrangements for yourself? However, as far as I know, there are exceptions. Deputy Chief." "I know." Zhuang Tonggao said, "but one thing is for sure, they were all promoted to one level before they left. The director who was transferred was the deputy director of the research office in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, at the deputy division level. The one transferred out to be the deputy director is a lesbian who is the chief staff member in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee."

"Oh, I really can't see that Comrade Tong Gao has such a thorough understanding of the situation in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee!" Jia Shizhen smiled and then looked serious, thinking that this low-educated cadre and section chief is quite familiar with the officialdom Research.And I have already prepared for my future.After a while, Jia Shizhen went on to say: "The cadre personnel system is facing a reform. In the future, the way to promote cadres will mainly rely on the principle of openness, fairness and justice. Through open selection and open competition, the first pass must be a cultural written test. Therefore, the power of the organization department will become smaller and smaller, and the privileges of comrades in the organization department will gradually be abolished."

Zhuang Tonggao's complexion changed drastically, the self-confidence just now disappeared from his face, his absent-minded eyes stayed on Jia Shizhen for a while, and he stammered, "Start with me...?" "No," said Jia Shizhen, "it should be from now on." "It actually started with me." Zhuang Tonggao calmed down a bit, and seemed to have regained the confidence he had just now. He thought that no matter how Minister Jia reformed, they, the old cadres and section chiefs, would still be sitting on the original bus. There is always a difference with the future methods. In jargon, the so-called new methods for newcomers, and old methods for old people.

"At present, the eight section chiefs and directors of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, except for those who can compete for employment, will basically be transferred out of the Organization Department." Jia Shizhen said, "Of course, in the future public elections for deputy director-level cadres, they can also participate in public elections. .” "How do we arrange it?" Zhuang Tonggao panicked, his expression changed drastically, and he asked impatiently. "Comrade Tonggao, as the head of the organization of the municipal party committee, let me tell you the facts!" Jia Shizhen said, "The leaders of the department have met and have a preliminary opinion, but it has not been finalized. The general opinion is: the four sets of teams in the county and district Deputy positions and deputy bureau levels of government agencies are not considered, because these positions will gradually implement public elections. If the deputy director level is to be considered, it can only be in some public institutions. Consider some better locations." Zhuang Tonggao felt like a blow to the head, only felt that the sky was dark, as if he fell heavily from a commanding height into the abyss, and he had become a body with no soul.Hope and the path of light were blocked for a while, he didn't know what kind of situation he was in, his body was like a duckweed with no support, he only owed death and had no other plans. Zhuang Tonggao never thought that he would end up like today.I have worked in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee for so many years, and the number of county-level cadres who have been hand-picked is beyond count. Looking at the black hats that I have carefully crafted for others, I don’t know how many times I have impulses and longings, and even envy. I wish I could keep one of the best ones for myself to enjoy in the future.But this black hat cannot be collected, nor can it be stored in the warehouse like a commodity, and it will be invalid when it expires.I don't know how many times, he himself had the irresistible urge to reach out to ask the minister for a satisfactory hat.The so-called near water towers first get the moon!But he never had such courage. I don’t know which pioneers of the organization department issued an order that comrades working in the organization department must never mention their own affairs, and they must not reach out for black hats. He just waited for a year after another. In 2010, he was afraid that breaking the rules of the organization department would affect his future career, so he has been dragging on until now.Now, Minister Jia took the initiative to let him talk about his affairs, but it was too late!The new head of the organization denies all relatives, and changes these black hats from planned distribution to market. The so-called market economy is full of cruel competition. He has neither capital, courage, nor strength!If you have the ability to rush to the front line, kill others, become a leader on the battlefield, you can still become a pioneer in reform.Thinking of this, Zhuang Tonggao lowered his head, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty all rushed into his heart, not knowing what it was like.For a long time, he opened his despairing eyes and said tremblingly, "...Mr. Jia... Could it be that I... just like this... Is it over?..." Zhuang Tonggao repeatedly begged Minister Jia to show mercy. He could read that he had swallowed his anger in the Organization Department for more than ten years. Jia Shizhen felt compassion for a moment, and couldn't bear to tell the two department-level cadre positions that had been prepared, for fear that he would not be able to accept it for a while.Just when she didn't know how to end, the phone rang, and Jia Shizhen took the opportunity to say: "Comrade Tong Gao, let's talk about this today, we will talk another day. If you have any ideas, you can find me anytime." When the minister issued the order to evict the guest, Zhuang Tonggao stepped down the steps for himself and nodded awkwardly.This was the first time he had talked with the leader about his work since he came to the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and it was also the worst time he had ever been in the mood. Zhuang Tonggao felt that he didn't stand up, he seemed to be floating, and when he turned to leave, his feet seemed to be stepping on a sponge. Jia Shizhen looked at Zhuang Tonggao's back and shook his head. He picked up the phone. It was Xia Tian, ​​the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, and informed Jia Shizhen to attend the standing committee of the municipal party committee tomorrow morning. Putting down the phone, Jia Shizhen immediately asked Jiang Yanling to send over the files of Tang Jianzhong, Gao Xingming, and Xiayu County Party Secretary Qiao Baiming.These specific things should have been done by the cadres and section chiefs of the agency, but now it is the time when they are unable to take over, so Jia Shizhen has no choice but to do it herself!The work adjustments of these several department-level leading cadres must be submitted to the Municipal Standing Committee for study. Before reporting to the Standing Committee, he had reported to Secretary Chang alone. Secretary Chang said that it should be discussed at the Standing Committee! Jia Shizhen was checking the files when Lu Xiaoliang called. Jia Shizhen came to Lu Xiaoliang's office in a hurry. Lu Xiaoliang closed the door, first made a cup of tea for Jia Shizhen, then took out a notebook from the drawer, and said, "Minister Jia, I have carefully read Han Shiyin's diary. It has recorded many of his absolute secrets in the past two or three years, some of which are very reserved and vague, and only he himself can know the major issues. But one thing is certain, there is an essential difference between him and the county party secretary Qiao Baiming, and the difference between them is There is a big difference between them. Although Qiao Boming caught him and used him, he kept a certain distance from him all the time, and he was on guard against many of Qiao Boming's problems, but he seemed to feel that Qiao Boming had suspected him a long time ago. , but still continue to use him. So, did Han Shiyin commit suicide or homicide? We are looking for evidence again, and I went there again today, and it is estimated that there will be a clear conclusion soon." Jia Shizhen took the diary from Lu Xiaoliang and flipped through it.After a while, he said, "Then why are Han Shiyin and Hou Yongwen so close?" Lu Xiaoliang flipped through two pages of his diary and said: "From this, it can be seen that Han Shiyin knows something about Hou Yongwen's backstage. In addition, Hou Yongwen has no doubts about Han Shiyin, or it is not convenient for Qiao Baiming to tell Hou Yongwen some things that only he knows." Jia Shizhen said: "Director Lu, I am not in charge of these cases, but you must solve the cases as soon as possible. What I care about is the cadres, because these people hold too much power in their hands, and no one supervises their power. , once they feel their guilt is about to be exposed, they can do anything." Back at the office, the comrades from the investigation team of the Provincial Department of Education had already arrived without notice. Jia Shizhen thought to herself, why didn't these people even call, how did they know that he would return to the office?Seeing the three comrades in the investigation team, Jia Shizhen greeted them warmly and entered the small conference room. Jia Shizhen said: "The three of you personally came to investigate Wu Yixuan's matter, which shows that the leaders of the Provincial Department of Education attach great importance to the work of the education system. The organization of such a large investigation team moved me very much. Secretary Wang was sent out by our organization department. Forgive me for not accompanying me in person, because this matter involves me. Maybe you are treating me as a suspect. It’s good to avoid it, let’s explain it here! I will definitely cooperate with you if the three need me to do something, or take any responsibility.” Secretary Wang was transferred to the Provincial Department of Education as a full-time party secretary before Jia Shizhen was transferred to the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department.He looked at Jia Shizhen with a smile and said, "Minister Jia, we are here today mainly to give you some explanations. You may be laughing at us, or scolding our Provincial Department of Education in your heart for having nothing to do. In fact, the leaders of the department have nothing to do. , the province must send an investigation team, what do you think this matter is?" Jia Shizhen smiled and said, "The masses have nothing to worry about." Secretary Wang said: "Minister Jia, don't laugh at us, I still know you." Jia Shizhen said: "What's strange now is that no one asks about the things that really need to be investigated. If they don't investigate, but... hey! Power..." Secretary Wang said: "In fact, there is no need to investigate this matter. With that video and that note, do we still need to investigate? In fact, Wu Yixuan, an ordinary teacher, can be so capable, isn't it because he has a backstage? We also work with Comrade Zhou Xiaoliang I have met him before, even though he is the old deputy secretary of the prefectural committee, but...Minister Jia just came to Xiyu, and he has no grudges with him. Besides, this kind of public selection of cadres for cultural examinations must be based on real talents, Wu Yixuan There is no sign of your secretary Zhou's daughter-in-law on his face. What is wrong with her? You are making trouble and complaining to the leaders of the provincial party committee. What good will it do you? Wu Yixuan's lover is still reasonable of." Jia Shizhen said: "At first, I just wanted to criticize and criticize this matter among the teachers of No. 1 Middle School, and take it as a lesson, which can serve as a warning to everyone. Forget it, because such adult exams will continue in the future. This kind of cheating and The trend of helping candidates to cheat has not stopped, so the first level of the written test of the cadre personnel system reform is just a formality. Some people cheat, but most people don’t. Is this score fair? , the daughter-in-law is even more overbearing. People have to be reasonable and refuse to let people, but their family is unreasonable and refuses to let people. How unreasonable it is!" "Let's go back and report the matter to the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee." Secretary Wang seemed apologetic, "I'm sorry, Minister Jia, to bring you trouble at work, so we'll leave first." Jia Shizhen shook Secretary Wang's hand and said, "Originally, when you come to Xiyu, I will invite you no matter what, but because of this inconvenience, I will definitely make up for it when I have a chance." After sending off the investigation team of the Department of Education, Jia Shizhen asked Wei Bingqian to notify the comrades from the Public Election Office to come to the meeting.Next, there will be a public defense for the 24 shortlisted candidates in the written test. This is the first public defense since the reform of Xiyu's cadre and personnel system. It must be well organized. , The location of the guest seats is very thoughtful. But what everyone didn't understand was that other work was ready, only the list of judges for the defense had not yet been obtained.Shika naturally couldn't prepare.After the meeting, Jia Shizhen and Gao Mingming personally inspected the defense venue. This defense meeting is instructive and experimental, and is open to the supervision of the masses and the media.For the past few days, Jia Shizhen has been excited and worried. He has been thinking about every detail of the defense all the time. When he wakes up at night, his mind is suddenly focused on the matter of the defense, so that he cannot fall asleep. Sometimes he thinks of which one? Question, I was worried that I would forget it at dawn, so I immediately turned on the light and wrote it down.Luckily Lingling wasn't around, if Lingling was around, she would laugh at him for being a low official and think about a lot of problems. When he was about to leave work in the afternoon, Jia Shizhen called Wei Bingqian to the office and handed him the list of members of the defense committee, and asked him to work overtime at night to prepare the seat card, and to go to the hotel tomorrow morning with comrades from the public election office. After dinner, Jia Shizhen had just returned to the dormitory when he saw a man and a woman standing at the door. It turned out to be Zhou Senlin and Wu Yixuan again. Jia Shizhen invited them into the room as if the incident had never happened. With the gift in his hand, Jia Shizhen pretended not to see it.Wu Yixuan quietly put the gift aside, and glared at her husband. Zhou Senlin smiled awkwardly, avoided Jia Shizhen and said, "Minister Jia, we came here to apologize to you. Wu Yixuan really didn't do well, and... " Jia Shizhen said: "Even if this matter is over, don't take it to heart. Everyone looks forward. There are no perfect people in this world." Wu Yixuan stepped forward and bowed to Jia Shizhen, and said, "Minister Jia, I am young and ignorant, and my words have offended you a lot. I hope you will forgive me." Jia Shizhen said: "As long as there is a living person in this world, no one can make mistakes. The key is to recognize and correct mistakes after making mistakes. Any organization and leadership is not aimed at any individual, but for specific things. This is the end, there is no need for you to apologize, what kind of gift!" Zhou Senlin pulled Wu Yixuan and said, "Let's go, let Minister Jia rest!" After talking, the two went out, and Jia Shizhen hurriedly picked up the things next to him and said, "You two, I forgot something!" Wu Yixuan took her husband and ran outside. Jia Shizhen grabbed Zhou Senlin's hand and forced something to him. After Zhou Senlin and his wife left, Jia Shizhen felt extremely disgusted with the behavior of the Zhou family, especially Zhou Xiaoliang, a leading cadre at the prefecture and department level, who spoke and acted regardless of the influence and consequences. What do you think in your heart.At this time, Zhou Senlin and his wife may have really realized their mistake when they came to the door, but with the gift, they ruined the good thing!He couldn't imagine what their gifts were. However, Jia Shizhen's heart became more and more uneasy. From the first day he came to the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, he set a rule for himself, and the friendship between gentlemen is like water.He would never do that kind of unconscionable thing. Don't look at Zhou Senlin and his wife who came to the door with a smile on their faces just now, and no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts or what they were going to do next. After thinking like this for a while, Jia Shizhen always felt uncomfortable. She was worried that Zhou Senlin and his wife would leave the gift at the door, so she couldn't help but startled again, so she opened the door nervously, and didn't go back into the house until it proved that there was nothing at the door. . Jia Shizhen sat in the living room, calmed herself down for a while, tried her best to get rid of those absurd and ridiculous ideas, and tried her best to adapt herself to the new living environment.But the phone kept disturbing him.Jia Shizhen made several phone calls, all interceding for the candidates who will be defending the day after tomorrow. Jia Shizhen said that the seven judges are all experts and scholars invited from other places, and the scores will be announced on the spot. It is impossible for anyone to say hello. , Even if you say hello, it doesn't work.Candidates only reported their serial numbers, which were randomly drawn, and the judges did not know them. When he said this, some people understood and some did not.Jia Shizhen is becoming more and more aware that power is not a good thing, but why do some people take it so seriously?It's nothing more than wanting to use the power in your hands to serve yourself. That night, Jia Shizhen only slept for an hour or two, first thinking about the day after tomorrow's defense, and then thinking about Han Shiyin's death, what kind of person this Han Shiyin is, I am afraid that many things have become eternal secrets, because he will never be able to I spoke. Early the next morning, after breakfast, Jia Shizhen hurried to the meeting room. There were still fifteen minutes before leaving the meeting. At this time, Xia Tian came, and the two of them sat down to talk a few words when Jia Shizhen's cell phone rang.He turned on the phone, happy to say that he had nothing important to say, but very respectfully asked for some instructions about tomorrow's defense.Turning off the phone, Jia Shizhen naturally thought that she must be happy to hear something. This is the first time Jia Shizhen has studied the work of cadres since she came to the Organization Department of the Xiyu Municipal Party Committee, and there are only three division-level cadres' job changes.As Gao Ming, the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, he still heard some rumors. Members of the Standing Committee entered the conference room one after another, and the last one to enter was Chang Youlian, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He sat down in the empty seat in the middle.The waiter began to place teacups and clean white hot towels in front of the standing committee members. Chang Youlian's eyes moved slowly over the members of the Standing Committee, and then he took a serious look at the precious Rolex watch on his wrist, it was exactly 8:30.So he cleared his throat and said: "Comrades, the meeting is now. Today's Standing Committee has two agendas: one is to discuss several cadres; the other is to discuss the reform of the economic system in the Xiyu area. Now we will proceed with the first agenda. First of all, I would like to tell you that recently, there have been many discussions surrounding the city management cadres, and there are various voices, but the municipal party committee has not adjusted the cadres as in the past. The Organization Department had just held a meeting, and Minister Jia of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee immediately stepped up to this task after he took office. Currently, the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee is publicizing the leadership of the middle-level, taking out the positions of the original eight regular section chiefs for public selection, including the original section chiefs. The comrades elected by the public election will continue to be section chiefs, and if they cannot be elected by the public election, they can only be arranged separately. The Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee has taken the lead in the public election of cadres in the city, and set an example first, accumulating experience for the next step of the reform of the cadre and personnel system , our future selection of cadres will mainly be based on public elections. I am here to give a briefing to the Standing Committee members so that everyone can have a mental preparation. At 8:30 tomorrow morning, the public election of cadres from the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee will enter the defense stage. Comrades, if you are interested If so, there is a guest seat there, welcome to come. Now I would like to ask Minister Jia to report." Jia Shizhen opened the notebook, and then looked at the scribes and standing committee members. The standing committee members seemed to feel that this research cadre was different from the usual standing committee.In the past, when the Standing Committee discussed cadres, not only the Executive Vice Minister Xing Ming attended, but sometimes the cadre section chief would also bring a lot of materials to prepare for the minister.But today there is only Minister Jia alone, and there is no material. Jia Shizhen pushed away his notebook, his eyes moved slowly on the members of the Standing Committee, and he said: "I have been in the Organization Department of the Xiyu Municipal Party Committee for several months, and this is the first time I have submitted it to the Standing Committee to study cadres. The reason is what Secretary Chang said just now. , At present, some city-level organs and counties need to adjust a group of leading cadres, and some of them have already considered or brewed within a certain range, but they have stopped for some reason. Today we will discuss a few There are urgent problems that must be solved, and the problems of a few people that cannot be solved by public election," Jia Shizhen paused, took a sip of water, opened his notebook and continued, "One is Tang Jianzhong, the director of Shi Zhi's office, Tang Jianzhong Comrade was born in August 1942. According to the legal retirement age for cadres, this comrade should have retired three years ago. It cannot be changed in the file. Moreover, in recent years, he has caused many conflicts in the Shi Zhi Office. He actually promoted the driver of the Yearbook Club to the vice president without authorization, and did not report it to the organization and personnel department. There are other problems. Therefore, he must be removed from his position as Director of Shi Zhi, and he must go through the retirement formalities immediately. And in order to be serious about the unhealthy trend of cadres getting younger and younger, Tang Jianzhong will gradually deduct from his salary the part of the salary that Tang Jianzhong received in the past three years after he turned 60. Back, the conversion standard of retirement salary is based on his salary when he was 60 years old, I hope the Standing Committee will support the opinion of the Organization Department.” As soon as Jia Shizhen's voice fell, Chang Youlian said angrily: "This Tang Jianzhong, who seems to be honest, is actually full of flowers and intestines. He actually worked until he was sixty-four years old. Your organization department is not without responsibility. You don't look at it every year. Is it the file of the retired people? Why didn’t they find it? Then the unit of several people caused many contradictions. I kept receiving letters from the people here. I heard that the deputy secretary-general of the municipal government had a good relationship with him, and he was responsible for everything big and small. Blocked by Tang Jianzhong, I heard that he not only hooked up the female secretary and section chief, but also wanted to fuck with any woman he fell in love with. If he didn't fuck him, he would take revenge. Isn't this a hooligan? Please, mayor and executive deputy mayor Take a long time to ask." There was no disagreement on this issue, and a resolution was quickly formed. Then Jia Shizhen reported to the second person, and the second person was Gao Ming, Executive Deputy Director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee.Jia Shizhen said: "With regard to Comrade Gao Ming, deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, it should be said that he is the old deputy director of the Organization Department of Xiyu City. He is now 51 years old. From this age, there is room for advancement and retreat. So now I am proposing to change his job, because it is impossible for him to participate in the public election competition in the next step. At the same time, after I came to the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, I got to know Comrade Gao Ming and felt that his attitude towards the reform of the cadre and personnel system was not positive. There was even a feeling of resistance. In addition, he had a complicated relationship with some cadres in Xiayu County. On the second day I took office, he gave me a list of cadres, saying that they were the candidates that Minister Wang had inspected before he was transferred. Those who are going to be submitted to the Standing Committee for research. I looked at the situation of those people. There are eight bureau chiefs and directors in Xiayu County, and four township party committee secretaries. False, excessively exaggerated achievements, bluntly said that based on those investigation materials, those people are not promoted to be deputy county-level cadres, at least to be city hall, deputy provincial-level cadres. Therefore, I conducted on-the-spot investigations on the cadres in the next moment I understand, but the reaction of the masses is very different. Some problems have not yet been proved enough, and some problems are the affairs of the relevant departments. Therefore, in view of these situations, it is proposed to remove Comrade Gao Mingming, the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department and the concurrently serving veteran cadres of the Municipal Party Committee Director of the bureau." Having said this, Jia Shizhen closed his notebook, looked up at Secretary Chang, and Chang Youlian looked into the distance, as if he was deep in thought.Jia Shizhen turned his attention to Deputy Secretary Zhu again. Deputy Secretary Zhu had a stern face because he was the deputy secretary in charge of political work.Jia Shizhen had reported the adjustment of these cadres to him twice before.He has no objection to adjusting Gao Ming's work, but he must arrange for the deputy mayor or the deputy director of the Municipal People's Congress.Jia Shizhen said that the deputy municipal leaders are provincial cadres, which is a matter for the province, but Deputy Secretary Zhu said that the promotion of deputy municipal leaders must first unify the thinking of the municipal party committee and report to the provincial party committee.Therefore, when the opinions of the two cannot be unified, the secretary often agrees to bring it to the Standing Committee for discussion.However, Jia Shizhen only talked about the first part, first dismissing Gao Ming's deputy head of the organization department, and did not raise any questions about his position.The venue fell silent, and after a while, Zhu Huamin looked at Secretary Chang and said, "Minister Jia just mentioned Comrade Xing Ming's position. He has been a deputy minister for many years, and he is over 50 years old. It is completely appropriate to be transferred to the Organization Department. It is just a matter of arranging such comrades. I think Comrade Gao Ming has been the executive deputy minister of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee for so many years. It is a matter of course for him to serve as a deputy. Our Municipal Party Committee Organization Department has always been called out by the section chief to assign a deputy at the county level. This is a routine, and it is also a practice. Whatever the problem, how to deal with it." Chang Youlian looked at Zhu Huamin, interrupted him, and said, "Old Zhu, your opinion in the back is wrong. Now the party committees at all levels emphasize that cadres should not be promoted in case of illness. It is the standing committee's problem to promote if there are signs of problems. gone." Zhu Huamin said again: "Since this is the case, let's put it aside. Why should we transfer him at this time?" Jia Shizhen said: "Deputy Secretary Zhu, now the masses think that the organization department is superior to others, but our leaders can't think so. To be honest, although I was transferred from the organization department of the provincial party committee to the organization department of the municipal party committee, I have a sense of superiority to the organization department. There are opinions about the special power of the organization. Comrades in other departments are not revolutionary workers. Why should the promotion of cadres in the organization department be given priority over others? We usually talk about the privileges of some industries, and the masses have great opinions, so the organization department is not considered What about the privileges in the industry? I will report to the Standing Committee today that from now on, no cadres in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee will enjoy this privilege. The cadres in the Organization Department, like the cadres in other departments, should not have the right to be promoted first. This time we decided to put all the eight section chief positions of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee up for public election, and the original section chiefs who were elected by the public election will continue to be elected, and those who cannot be elected by the public election will be transferred out of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee." As soon as Jia Shizhen finished speaking, all members of the Standing Committee turned their attention to him. Everyone seemed not to believe that what Jia Shizhen said just now was true. On average, there are more than 30 people for each position, and the most positions are more than 50 people. Why do we do this? It is to let everyone see that the organization department is not a closed and mysterious department, as long as there are talents, you can still enter If it is not like this, according to the old method, you can only be transferred in if you have a relationship, and the person looking for me will not be able to fit in the car! I will give this right to everyone and let the masses participate in the recommendation and selection. Similarly, in the future, the organization department The only way to promote cadres is to participate in public elections. For example, we will conduct public elections for leading cadres at the county and department levels. No matter which department the old section chief is transferred to, he must be on the same starting line as comrades in other departments.要参加文化考试，只有通过笔试这一关，才能进入下一轮的公开答辩。有关这方面的问题我们将专门向常委会汇报。” 常委们有的点着头，有的低声议论起来。贾士贞看看朱副书记，朱化民说：“这样说来，以后的市委常委会没有用了，那常委干什么呢？” 常友连说：“市委常委会除了管干部，别的就没事了？况且，干部的事还多着呢！” 贾士贞说：“干部制度改革的根本方向是'公开，公平，公正'的原则，所谓公开就是每一道程序，凡能让群众知道的让群众监督，公平是人人平等，比如文化考试，大家都使用同一张试卷，在同一起跑线上，像高考一样，在分数面前人人平等；公正，就是公平合理，比如今后常委会原则上不再像过去那样讨论大批干部的提升问题，而是市委全委会实行无记名投票，不再是常委会讨论干部了。” 老实说，常委们虽然觉得贾士贞的发言既理直气壮，又坦荡而无私无畏，然而，常委们同样又感到这位只有三十八岁的市委常委、组织部长有点太自负了！论常委的资历和排名，他只能排在九名常委之末，可是，对于他的发言，却又找不出什么确切的理由来反驳他。而此时，朱副书记瞪圆了双眼，看看贾士贞，又看看常书记。其他常委有的低着头，有的偷偷瞥一眼贾士贞和朱副书记，大家想到刚才市委书记常友连毫不犹豫地驳回朱副书记的意见，也许认为朱副书记太个人意气了。他不得不支持贾士贞的正义行为。这毕竟是严肃的市委常委会。 市委常委会在这样的气氛中继续着。 对于今天的常委会，朱副书记的心里怎么也不舒服，他对新来的市委组织部长贾士贞怎么也看不顺眼，他是分管政工的副书记，贾士贞不过是一个市委常委、组织部长，这样的重大问题岂是他能够说了算的？再说了他当副市长那会，贾士贞只不过才是省委组织部市县干部处的一个一般干部，当然那时他看待贾士贞还是有几分重量的。因为他知道，省委组织部市县干部处左右着他一个副市长的命运，虽然不能提拔他们这些副市级领导，但是，要说他们点坏话，起码也没有什么好处。那时他想认识贾士贞还不那么容易，现在朱化民的心里很复杂。他和高兴明的关系应该说超出一般同志的关系。而且他承诺过高兴明，凭他目前分管政工副书记的权力，推荐他进市政府班子应该说是没有多大问题的。可他万万没想到，新来的市委组织部长居然是一个刀枪不入，不食人间烟火的愣头儿青。而且，看样子贾士贞根本没把他这个政工副书记放在眼里，他清楚地感觉到，贾士贞是绝对不可能把高兴明留在市委组织部的了。高兴明是西臾人，朱化民也是西臾人，如果让高兴明继续掌握市委组织部的大权，那贾士贞不就可以架空了吗？想来想去朱化民决定争取主动，于是再次鼓足勇气，发言了：“关于高兴明同志的工作问题，免去他的市委组织部副部长、老干部局局长职务，必须同时安排他的职务，至于高兴明同志的工作安排问题，我提出个人看法，我认为对这样的同志应该有个交代。给他一个副市厅级还是应该的。市政府不行，可以到市人大任副职。贾部长坚持要把高兴明调出市委组织部，我能理解，也表示同意，贾部长刚调来当部长，心里有些担心，是不是认为高兴明是个老同志，又在市委组织部当了那么多年常务副部长，对全市的县处干部太熟悉了，担心会给部长在工作中设下什么障碍、麻烦。” 贾士贞一听，没想到朱副书记来这一手，死死地将了他一军。贾士贞看了看朱副书记，沉住气，看看朱化民下面还要讲些什么。 朱化民接着说：“所以我认为应该安排高兴明同志到人大当副主任，或者去市政协当个副主席。” 不知为什么，连朱化民自己也往后退了一步，刚才认为高兴明应该安排市政府副职，现在突然退到市政协副主席了。不知道其他常委是否注意到这个细节了，贾士贞觉得朱副书记终于说出了心里话。现在贾士贞基本清楚了高兴明在常委中的后台主要也就是朱副书记了。 朱副书记的意见一抛出，立即就有常委附和了，是啊，在常委的习惯里，市委组织部常务副部长，去政协当副主席，已经是受到莫大的委屈了，所以也就认为理所当然了。 常委们虽然支持朱化民的意见，却没有什么明确的理由，贾士贞说：“按常理，可以理解，黑龙江省委组织部长韩桂芝最后去省政协当主席，干部问题没有什么参照系。个人有个人的具体情况，如果说比照的话，那么中央政治局常委们当年同学会说，某某人和我大学同班同学，他现在都是中央政治局常委了，那我起码也当个省委常委，是吧？这显然是不可比照的事。所以，我上面说了，高兴明有高兴明的具体情况，我在这里多说几句，我建议把高兴明调出市委组织部，并非因为他是市委组织部多年的副部长，也不存在他会在工作上设置什么障碍，如果是因为这个原因，我就让他留在市委组织部能怎么样？我不相信他连这点水平都没有。”常委们感觉到贾部长明显是冲着朱副书记的话而来，此刻的朱化民脸上一阵阵难堪。停了一会，贾士贞态度和蔼地说：“对高兴明同志的工作问题，只能平职调动，不宜提拔到副市级位置上去。具体方案是这样的，”贾士贞认真地看了看朱副书记，提高声音说，“统战部副部长或者政协秘书长。” 谁也没有想到，这一次朱化民沉住气了，听完了贾士贞的意见，他没有发言，站起来转身拿起热水瓶，正要给自己倒水，突然想到旁边的常书记，于是给常书记添了水，又在自己的杯子里倒了满满一杯，随后坐下来，慢慢端起茶杯，轻轻喝了一小口，过了一会，朱化民才慢慢抬头说：“我的意见刚才说了，不再重复了，请常书记定夺吧！” 贾士贞一听就听出来了，朱副书记是坚持自己意见的，把皮球踢给一把手，看你一把手怎么办。贾士贞心里也清楚，拿到常委会上的干部问题，哪有没通过书记的，在此之前，贾士贞又何尝没有向常书记汇报过呢？其实常书记也不同意让高兴明进市政府班子的，朱化民也知道常书记的态度，真是常书记看上的人要提拔到副市级的干部，哪里需要在常委会上如此争论，这一点朱副书记忽视了。如果常书记要把高兴明提拔为副市长还能让他在市委组织部副部长的位置上干那么多年？到了五十一岁还没有说法，恐怕早就当上副市长了。但是当贾士贞提出自己的想法时，常友连也觉得有些对高兴明交代不过去，甚至也和朱化民有同样的想法。但是当贾士贞把高兴明的情况向常友连汇报之后，常友连当然不愿意为高兴明扛那样大的责任。上面三令五申强调干部不能带病提拔，不管怎么说，市政协副主席是副市级领导，算四套班子呀！记得在他到任不久，当时有人建议让高兴明下去当县委书记，常友连说，对这个人还不了解，县委书记毕竟责任重大，看看再说。也许高兴明在常书记面前表现不突出，其实高兴明何尝不想当一届县委书记，那时如果下去当县委书记了，说不定副市长早当上了。至于高兴明到底怎么当上市委组织部常务副部长的，常书记从没有去探讨过。 在这样的情况下，常委会真的不能采取无记名投票的方式来抉择一个干部了。大家都把目光集中在常书记身上，此时常友连也在反复考虑，一边是政工副书记，一边是常委组织部长，他要维护整个常委班子的团结。会场上一阵寂寞，常委们都在静静地干坐着，有人端着茶杯，做出喝水的样子，却又喝不下去，开常委会是他们最不缺水的时候，这样的会议除了喝水还能干什么，但是又不能一个劲地喝，水喝多了也难受，还要一趟一趟往卫生间跑。 常友连思考了半天，终于说：“这事再放一放，等一等再说，士贞继续汇报。” 贾士贞看看常书记，摆弄着手里的笔记本，心里有些不快，觉得一把手怎么能优柔寡断呢！当然他想到了，他今天汇报的三个干部，除汤坚忠之外，都是疑难问题。现在他要汇报的是下臾县委书记，一个比高兴明更有重量的人物。甚至于他感觉到，对乔柏明的争论将超过高兴明。因为他在向朱副书记汇报乔柏明问题时，朱化民差点要跳起来，要不是贾士贞点了几个关键性问题，朱化民连拿到常委会上都不会同意的。在乔柏明的问题上常友连的态度倒是坚决的，大概他已经掌握了一些乔柏明的问题，所以他也主张立即免掉乔柏明下臾县委书记的职务，至于让他干什么，常友连到目前还在犹豫不决。 贾士贞在汇报乔柏明的问题时，态度非常不同一般，加上刚刚听了鲁晓亮的汇报，看了韩士银的日记，这些问题对于一个县委书记来说，件件都是致命的，贾士贞并没有托出乔柏明的所有问题，因为有些事情到底是怎么回事，他还没有完全清楚，甚至一时半会他很难弄清楚，他毕竟只是一个市委组织部长。但是正因为他是市委组织部长，在干部问题上，他是不能含糊的，如果还让乔柏明在下臾继续当县委书记，一旦问题暴露了，他这个市委组织部长脸上没有多少光彩。所以在汇报过乔柏明的一些情况时，他说：“我认为乔柏明已经不能再在县委书记的位置上干下去了，必须马上免职。”停了停又说，“至于怎么安排，我想先让他到市委农村工作办公室去任副主任。”贾士贞故意停了下来，观察朱副书记的表情。只见朱化民眉头一皱，欲言又止，随后转脸看着身边的常友连。常书记沉思了一会，先清了清喉咙，接过贾士贞的话忙说：“乔柏明这个人怎么变得那么快？”常书记突然说了这样一句没头没脑的话，贾士贞抬头看常书记，他觉得常友连这人有点怪，不像其他那些一把手，主观武断。问题不成熟决不拿到常委会上，而常友连不是这样的工作方法，比如像高兴明的工作问题，乔柏明的工作问题，他都不止一次向常友连汇报过，希望常书记在小范围内统一下思想，而他听了汇报之后，看不出明显的倾向性，甚至让贾士贞个别同朱副书记沟通一下，最后意见是到常委会上讨论吧！ 过了一会，常友连说：“按照乔柏明的工作能力和资历、年龄，当个副市长，常委是没有问题的，可现在怎么办？有的问题还没有搞清楚，确实有些棘手。请大家再议一议。” 当然贾士贞听出来了，常友连并不倾向贾士贞的意见。谁不知道，一个县委书记，只要不出问题，哪个最后不上到副市级，就是调到市政府任秘书长，人们也觉得不正常，起码是市委常委、市委秘书长，然而到了市委农村工作办公室副主任的位置上，这明显是有问题嘛。 朱化民听出常书记的倾向性发言，于是说：“乔柏明的问题现在只是说说而已，又不是权威部门的结论性意见。培养一个县委书记不容易，我们在座的各位不少人都在县委书记的位置上干过，干部也不是不犯错误的，犯了错误也不能就一棍子打倒。所以我觉得对乔柏明的工作安排一定要慎重。” 这时市委副书记、市长邵明说话了。邵明几乎是和贾士贞同时调来西臾任市长的，原来是省发改委处长，后调省政府任副秘书长，只在省政府秘书长位置干了不到一年。是一个知识分子干部，原来是上海复旦大学经济管理硕士生。省委在决定调他到西臾任市长时，颇有一番争议，有人认为邵明是学经济管理的，让他到西臾来好好抓一抓经济，争取尽快让西臾经济上一个台阶。反对意见认为他没有实践经验，魄力也不够。最后还是省委书书记谭玉明下的决心。贾士贞对邵明这个人不怎么熟悉，两人虽然都是从省委机关来西臾任职的。但是由于各自分工不同，除了在常委会上，平时接触机会很少。邵明说：“我觉得我们的常委会是不是过于民主了？像这样讨论干部，如果是几十个人，那要讨论多长时间，那常委会不成马拉松了吗？按照道理，像高兴明、乔柏明这样重要人物的工作调整问题，在开常委会之前应该有一个基本成熟的意见，在组织部门，或者在书记碰头会上基本形成一个意见，再拿到常委会上来。” 常友连看看邵明，说：“邵市长说的不是没有道理，这两个人的问题是我同意直接拿到常委会上议论的，为什么要直接拿到常委会上，正因为不是一般人的问题，也不是仅仅用举手表决或者无记名投票来解决的，大家认真议论有好处，争论问题不是坏事，充分发扬民主，当然所有的干部不可能都这样讨论，那要具体情况具体分析。干部人事制度逐步在改革，以后大部分干部的任用将逐步采用公选的办法，最后由全体市委委员无记名投票产生。” 贾士贞感到常书记的发言很有道理，他过去一点也不了解常友连，他在省委组织部时，虽然为干部的事也来过西臾，但和常友连接触不多，省委组织部对他没有多少特别的反映，是那种各项工作都平平常常的领导。如今已经过了五十五岁，看样子在市委书记的位置上也不会太久了。贾士贞重新调整一下自己的思路，觉得这两个干部都不宜再拖下去了，于是又说：“关于高兴明和乔柏明的问题，通过大家的发言，我重新提一个意见，再请各位讨论。乔柏明是否可以调市政府任市长助理，仍享受正处级待遇，这样进和退都有余地。至于高兴明同志，平职调动，调市委统战部任副部长，保留正处级待遇。” 室内又是一阵寂静，常友连抬起头，目光在常委们身上慢慢移动着，过了一会，他说：“我觉得这个意见很有可行性，干部嘛，总不是一成不变的，各位看看？” 邵明说：“我同意！” 接着常委们也表示同意。 常友连最后看看朱化民，说：“朱副书记什么意见？” 朱化民说：“大家都表态了，我个人服从组织。” 随后又议论谁来主持下臾县委的工作问题。意见始终统一不起来，按照贾士贞的意见是由县委副书记周广浩主持。周广浩在三个县任过县委副书记，本来早就应该担县长或书记，只是因为和乔柏明之间关系没搞好，以至乔柏明把他的县委副书记晾在一边。但是朱化民一直坚持让县长吕大佑主持工作。最后贾士贞只好做了让步。 市委常委会一个上午只讨论了三个处级干部的问题，其实只有两个，贾士贞越发觉得干部人事制度再不改革不行了。
