Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Where to Go

In this world, many changes are happening every moment.Some people are lucky, some people are unlucky, some people are making history, and history is also fulfilling or abandoning some people.Every minute, new life comes to the world, and some life is dying at the same time.In nature, there are no clouds and clear skies here; there may be sudden changes in the wind and clouds, and the sky will collapse.The laws of nature are irresistible to anyone. Aren't many characters in our stories just like the laws of nature?Jia Shizhen and the warriors around him set off an earth-shaking feat on the peaceful land of Xiyu.After Jia Shizhen took office, the flames made some people dizzy, destroyed some people's hopes, and more people never even dreamed about it. They held their heads high and proudly walked into the ranks of leading cadres at the county level.

All the municipal party committee members voted by secret ballot to elect county-level leading cadres, and opened the door for the masses to participate and accept the supervision of the media. This has actually become a reality.In the past few days, the newspapers in the provincial capital and Xiyu City continuously reported the grand occasion of that day's conference on TV, and Jia Shizhen suddenly became a hot topic of media and people's attention. However, as long as everything has a high tide, there must be a low tide, just like the waves in the sea, when a wave hits, it will soon reach the top of the wave, and then immediately fall into the low valley.It's the same with people. For Jia Shizhen, after a burst of orgasm, he himself seems to want to take a breather.However, he thought that the reform of the cadre and personnel system was the first step in the Long March, and now he had to seriously consider the way forward!

Since Jia Shizhen came to Xiyu, he felt that his life had undergone tremendous changes. The taste of ordinary people's life seemed to be missing something, like cooking without salt.He has no intention of creating any miracles and waves in his own life. When he is busy all day, he will inevitably think of some annoying things. Maybe those troubles are caused by himself, and of course he has not forgotten some things.As the openly selected county-level cadres are constantly in place, some remaining problems have also become prominent, and it is natural that some people will start activities again.

Through the voting meeting that day, Chang Youlian, secretary of the municipal party committee, announced at the meeting that after the meeting, the method of selecting leading cadres at the county and department levels by the municipal party committee will no longer be the standing committee, so that no one will be promoted at this critical moment without going through an open selection process of people.But what about Cheng Wenwu, Zhang Jingyuan, and Zhuang Tonggao? After a week of peaceful days, the four vacant department-level cadres in the organization department were soon filled in. Yao Yiyu took up the post of director of the organization department office of the municipal committee. The news reached Lingling the next day.Although Yao Yiyu knew her husband because of her, when she heard that such a beautiful woman became a staff member beside her husband, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

What surprised Jia Shizhen was that more than ten days had passed since the municipal party committee meeting, and the publicly selected cadres had already taken office one after another, but Cheng Wenwu and the few people who were eager to be promoted remained silent. None of their busy officials mentioned it anymore, which is clearly out of the ordinary.According to Jia Shizhen's estimate, after the general meeting of the municipal party committee, people will definitely attack him one after another. However, Jia Shizhen first thought of Deputy Director Zhang of the Provincial Department of Culture, so he called home at night. Lingling said that he did not know why Deputy Director Zhang Chang never said anything about it again.

That night, as soon as Jia Shizhen had finished dinner, he received a call from Lu Xiaoliang from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, saying that he would come over for a sit-down. Jia Shizhen was ecstatic.After the two met, Lu Xiaoliang told him a strange news, that Hou Yongwen actually transferred to the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs.In fact, since the cheating case in the last exam, Hou Yongwen disappeared during the re-examination. Jia Shizhen didn't know what he did afterwards. Now that he heard that Hou Yongwen was transferred to the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs, he was also promoted to be the deputy director. For him, who has worked in the Provincial Organization Department for many years, he feels that it is not a normal relationship to be able to transfer a town party secretary like that to the province and be promoted to deputy director.What's more, both Qiao Baiming and Gao Xingming have a certain relationship with him!According to Lu Xiaoliang, ever since Jia Shizhen met Hou Yongwen in the next moment, Hou Yongwen felt the danger of staying in the next moment, so he went back and forth frequently to the provincial capital. No one knew what he was doing. Thinking about it now, he must have gone Regarding the transfer of activities and work in the province, some people said that Hou Yongwen's transfer to the Civil Affairs Department was a greeting from an important leader of the provincial party committee.

Life is not as smooth and beautiful as people imagine, sometimes it is full of thorns and ups and downs, life is so emotional! Two days later, Chang Youlian, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, suddenly called Jia Shizhen, saying that he and Mayor Shao were going to the province to attend an enlarged meeting of the Provincial Party Committee. After the meeting, he wanted to talk to Jia Shizhen about the next step of work.To this end, Jia Shizhen held two meetings of middle-level cadres of the Organization Department, allowing everyone to talk about ideas and suggestions for the reform of the cadre and personnel system.I have repeatedly studied and planned to have a serious discussion with Secretary Chang. These ideas are not only related to the construction of the cadre team in Xiyu City in the future, but also related to the long-term institutional issues in the future. Select a large number of grassroots leading cadres and improve their political and cultural quality. In order to ensure the rapid development of Xiyu's political economy.After making full preparations, Jia Shizhen felt that she was full of strength, and felt that she had lived up to the expectations of the provincial party committee. Being a veritable head of the organization of the municipal party committee, it seemed that she was facing a new test.

On the night when Secretary Chang came back, Xia Xia, secretary general of the municipal party committee, called him and asked him to go to Secretary Chang's office immediately. He said that he would have a good talk with him after the provincial meeting. Why did the secretary-general call him suddenly?Under normal circumstances, the Secretary-General will personally notify each Standing Committee member only when the Municipal Committee Standing Committee holds an important meeting, because the Municipal Secretary-General is a member of the Municipal Committee Standing Committee after all!Jia Shizhen didn't know why she had such an association with such a small detail.

Jia Shizhen went up to the municipal committee building, and the whole building was quiet, except for the bright lights on the stairs and the third floor, the rest of the place was dark.When he came to Secretary Chang's office, there was only a crack in the door, so he knocked lightly on the door twice. Secretary Chang said, "It's Minister Jia, please come in!" When Jia Shizhen entered the room, Secretary Chang took off his glasses, greeted him warmly, and stretched out his hand as if treating a guest. Jia Shizhen was a little puzzled, but still shook Secretary Chang's hand politely.Jia Shizhen's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Secretary Chang had never been so warm to him as the head of the municipal party committee. This kind of enthusiasm was obviously too much for him to accept.Jia Shizhen suddenly had a strange premonition, but he didn't know what it would portend.

Secretary Chang's enthusiasm gave Jia Shizhen an opposite signal, which strongly stimulated him.In fact, Jia Shizhen has been considering the arrangement of Cheng Bin, Zhang Jinghou, and Zhuang Tonggao after the county-level leading cadres elected by the municipal party committee were in place. Of course, Secretary Chang is most concerned about his secretary. Jia Shizhen understands Secretary Chang very well. . After the two sat down, Secretary Chang began to praise Jia Shizhen's work, saying that the provincial party committee, the provincial government, and even the provincial government had a great response to Jia Shizhen's cadre and personnel system reform in Xiyu, and the leaders also highly praised and affirmed this time. The successful experience of cadre personnel system reform.Jia Shizhen listened without saying a word. He didn't feel that Secretary Chang's praise was watery and made him sound uncomfortable. He seemed to feel that there was some kind of omen. Whether this omen was good or bad, he couldn't estimate it. arrive.Jia Shizhen was not used to this kind of praise and this incongruous atmosphere, because he was not a child in kindergarten after all, nor was he a junior in need of promotion. It is a "sugar-coated cannonball" before some leaders take any action against you.

Jia Shizhen looked very calm, as if she was not surprised by favor or humiliation.After the praise, Secretary Chang was still very excited and said: "Shizhen, you are still young, and the provincial party committee trusts and values ​​you very much, so..." At this point, Chang Youlian seemed to stop on purpose, deliberately showing off, He lit a cigarette, took two more puffs, and said, "The Provincial Party Committee is going to let you go to the Central Party School to study for a year. I don't need to tell you. You know that the Central Party School is a place to train senior leading cadres." Secretary Chang said It seemed that he hadn't finished speaking, but he stopped suddenly and his eyes fell on Jia Shizhen.At this moment, many questions flooded Jia Shizhen's mind.Of course, what Secretary Chang said is not wrong. Under normal circumstances, party schools are the places to train leading cadres, especially the Central Party School. In people's habitual thinking, people who have studied at the Central Party School are classified as prefecture-level officials who are about to be promoted. The first category is the promotion of reserve cadres at the ministerial and provincial levels.However, what Jia Shizhen thought was another way.He was transferred from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to Xiyu City to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Minister of Organization. It took him only seven months to complete the plan, and after he arrived in Xiyu, the reform of the cadre and personnel system had just begun. Arrange for him to study for a year off-duty.Let him leave for a year, what will happen to the position of the organization minister?In fact, he is not as afraid of losing the power of the organization minister as some people are.Instead, if another person is changed, can he still carry out the reform of the cadre and personnel system according to his ideas?After all, the reform of the cadre and personnel system has not yet formed a set of practical and feasible systems.Thinking of this, Jia Shizhen's heart seemed to have stopped beating, could it be? ?A series of question marks suddenly popped up in Jia Shizhen's mind, what a high-sounding reason to go to the Central Party School to study!As long as he leaves the position of the head of the organization department of the municipal party committee, he will not be able to control the work of the cadres, no matter whether he is temporarily appointed as the head of the new organization department.It goes without saying that the efforts he has made during this period and his reform plans may become a dead letter.Although he had so many thoughts in his mind at this moment, he still looked so calm and sophisticated, smiled and said, "It is indeed a good opportunity to study at the Central Party School." Chang Youlian stood up and said, "You young people really have a rare opportunity! It's a pity that I'm old, and I haven't studied at the Central Party School so far. I'm really enviable!" Chang Youlian walked indoors After taking a few steps, he turned around and said, "However, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee has not yet made a final decision. The leaders of the Provincial Party Committee gave me some advice, so it can be regarded as asking for my opinion! Of course I support it. This is related to the future of a cadre! " Jia Shizhen was still sitting there motionless. He also sat in this position when he had the first conversation with Secretary Chang's office after taking office. He felt how kind Secretary Chang was to him during that conversation with Secretary Chang. How sincere, but at this moment, he couldn't find that feeling at all. Secretary Chang seemed to be wearing a strange mask.As soon as the mask was worn, the distance between them suddenly became farther away.Of course, Secretary Chang is no longer the Mayor Chang.He couldn't understand what the folk philosopher said, "There are only permanent interests in the officialdom, but no permanent friends." Originally, after Jia Shizhen planned to publicly select cadres, he returned to the provincial capital to enjoy two days of family happiness with his wife and daughter. Last time Lingling left, he made a promise.Go back every half a month or so.However, it has been more than a month since Lingling left, and he always feels unable to get away.Now that the Provincial Party Committee is going to let him study at the Central Party School, he can go back to the provincial capital right away, reunite with his wife and children for a few days, and wait for news from the Provincial Party Committee. Leaving Secretary Chang's office, Jia Shizhen strolled on the street. Most of the people who had been busy all day had already hid in their own world. In particular, it can evoke people's feelings of missing their loved ones, probably this is the feeling of touching the scene!Jia Shizhen looked around, not knowing where she was for a moment, and her mood became more and more heavy. This young Municipal Party Committee Organization Director, who had always been full of energy and high ambitions, suddenly felt lonely and homesick.He could no longer remember the day when the familiar street, familiar building, and familiar environment in front of him were inextricably linked with this strange city.Unknowingly, he has been in this city for more than seven months. For life and nature, these seven months are too short a moment. However, in his heart, he seems to have experienced a long time tunnel, a space that cannot be looked back. .Suddenly, his thoughts went backwards in time. On the third day after he took office, he went alone for a while. In fact, he still can’t figure out why he acted blindly at the beginning, but it was also that time. The absurd actions allowed him to hear the masses' evaluation of those cadres with his own ears. Although the common people don't know what a cadre is doing all the time, whether it is noble or despicable; whether it is sincere or false; or For the masses, or for oneself; or honesty, or corruption.But the masses have steelyards in their hearts, no matter how powerful you are, you can't escape the eyes of the masses. "The masses are the real heroes, but we ourselves are often naive and ridiculous."That short trip sounded absurd, but it allowed him to see cadres like Qiao Baiming and Hou Yongwen clearly. As for later, he first started from the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and publicly selected forty-eight county-level leaders in the city. I believe that the general public in Xiyu will make a fair evaluation of the actions of the cadres. Thinking wildly like this, I don't know where he went, Jia Shizhen suddenly felt a feeling that he was about to say goodbye to this city that he was not fully familiar with. Could it be a tragedy to say goodbye?No!Farewell can also be forward, and farewell is still ending the past and looking forward to a new future! Jia Shizhen raised her head and looked around, but for a moment she couldn't tell where she was. A bright moon was hanging in the southeast.The city is shrouded in dust all year round, and the sky is always like mist. When it comes to the next moment, I seldom have time to appreciate the sight of the moon hanging high in the sky. But when I was in the provincial capital, I often looked for the bright moon in my heart with Lingling. However, it is not easy to see such a bright moon in the provincial capital, and the sky is always rusty and blurred.Jia Shizhen simply stopped by the side of the road and looked at the bright moon in the sky.It wasn't until the phone rang for a long time that he came back to reality from the hallucination. He answered the phone, but it was cut off again. While he was looking through the number, the phone rang again, and he was overjoyed that it was Lu Xiaoliang.Just as Jia Shizhen wanted to find someone to talk to about her confusion, Lu Xiaoliang's call was too timely, maybe there was a special telepathy between them?A special kind of tacit understanding. Lu Xiaoliang once gave him a lot of help in his work. He is the person he can trust the most. In Xiyu, Jia Shizhen felt that Lu Xiaoliang should be regarded as his first and only one who could speak his mind. people. Lu Xiaoliang drove to Jia Shizhen by himself and got in the car. Lu Xiaoliang asked him where he was going, and he said he would not go anywhere and find a secluded place.So Lu Xiaoliang drove the car and drove towards the countryside. After the car stopped, Lu Xiaoliang asked: "Minister Jia, I think you are a bit abnormal today! How can a majestic municipal organization director have the time to express his emotions and watch the moon in the dead of night! This should be a sign of a literati's downfall. !Could it be..." Jia Shizhen shook her head, let out a burst of hearty laughter, and said, "You're wrong, I'm getting lucky! I'm going to study at the Central Party School right now, wouldn't it be a good thing!" "What?" Lu Xiaoliang screamed. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Jia Shizhen for a long time before continuing, "No way! I really don't believe it!" "Really, it's absolutely true." Jia Shizhen said, "Secretary Chang just talked to me. He also just finished the enlarged provincial party committee meeting from the province tonight. When he got home, he didn't wait until tomorrow, so he sent me !" Lu Xiaoliang leaned back on the back seat suddenly, sighed and said, "So that's the case! Brother, I've already guessed eight or nine points. In this way, your mood tonight is right and understandable. After finishing speaking, Lu Xiaoliang opened the car door and said, "Let's get out of the car, don't sit in it, the space is too small, it will suffocate you!" The two got out of the car and walked to the side of the road. A gust of cool wind blows through, giving people a refreshing feeling.It seemed that there were only the two of them in the whole world. After standing for a while, Lu Xiaoliang said, "Minister Jia, I can imagine how you feel. You have been in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee for so many years. What you heard and saw may be better than mine. Much. With all due respect..." Jia Shizhen looked back at Lu Xiaoliang in the dark, Lu Xiaoliang didn't know why he didn't continue, the two looked at each other in the night, it was Lu Xiaoliang who broke the terrible loneliness, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed one to Jia Shizhen , Said: "Come on, smoke one!" As he spoke, he lit the lighter, and Jia Shizhen took two puffs against the firelight. A ray of fire light shone on Jia Shizhen's face, and Lu Xiaoliang felt that it was a face of fear and consternation, and a face that was difficult to read clearly. "Forgive me," Lu Xiaoliang repeated, "your reforms are too aggressive, and people can't adapt to them, but there is no reason to oppose your approach, so..." "You're right, I've thought about it too." Jia Shizhen took two puffs of cigarettes, "That's good too. Being able to study at the Central Party School for a year may not be a bad thing for me." Lu Xiaoliang said: "Let's not talk about going to the Central Party School to study. I want to talk about you, the organization director of the municipal party committee. To be honest, when you took office as a new official, when the fire was burning the most, I wanted to find you many times. You, pour some cold water on you, but I didn't do that, everything has two sides, maybe your approach is more beneficial to the people of Xiyu, and to those cadres with real talents in Xiyu." Jia Shizhen said: "I'm afraid you may not be able to pour cold water on me at that time. I am a person with this kind of virtue, which is called Jiangshan, and nature is hard to change. It is difficult for anyone to change me if they want to influence me!" "Then what are you going to do?" "As far as my own subjective wish is concerned, I don't want to leave Xiyu at this time. I still have a lot of things to do." Jia Shizhen hesitated for a while, then patted Lu Xiaoliang on the shoulder, "It is said that the Provincial Party Committee has not yet made a final decision. , let's talk about it later!" "No, Minister Jia, you should take the initiative." Lu Xiaoliang became a little excited, "Why don't you look for Minister Qian at the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee?" Jia Shizhen held Lu Xiaoliang's hand, and the two got into the car. Jia Shizhen said, "Director Lu, everyone knows this kind of thing very well, let's be at peace with the situation and let nature take its course!" On the way back, the two of them didn't say a word. In today's institutions, people are most concerned about two things: one is the corruption and scandals of leading cadres; the other is the job changes of leading cadres.On the third day of the conversation between Secretary Chang and Minister Jia, to be precise, there was only one day in between. The Xiyu City authorities were full of rumors about Minister Jia going to study at the Central Party School.Such important news is only a conversation between the two high-level leaders. How could it spread like wildfire and become a topic of concern and discussion among the masses? No one knows what is going on.Of course, some people couldn't tolerate Jia Shizhen's existence, and wished that Minister Jia would leave Xiyu all at once. The faces of these people were like barometers.When Jia Shizhen went to work in the morning, she met Ruan Boda, director of the Science and Technology Bureau, at the gate of the city hall. Seeing Minister Jia, Ruan Boda jumped out of the Audi car, stretched out his hand to Jia Shizhen from a distance, and said enthusiastically, "Minister Jia, congratulations! What? Is it time to see you off? As soon as Minister Jia came here, I felt that Minister Jia had a bright future." Jia Shizhen stretched out his hand with a smile. He had met Director Ruan many times, and it was the first time he saw him beaming like this.Not long ago, Ruan Boda was dissatisfied with Lu Xiaolan for promoting the office director of the Science and Technology Bureau, but Minister Jia ignored the opinions of the Party Committee of the Science and Technology Bureau. , became the deputy director of the Science and Technology Bureau with 92% of the votes in favor of the municipal committee.Director Ruan was very excited at this time, and he must have encountered something worth being happy about. Jia Shizhen said: "What happy event did Director Ruan encounter today? You can see that he is very excited!" "Yes!" Ruan Boda wiped the back of his head. "Didn't you, Minister Jia, also have a happy event? After the Central Party School passed the gold, it will be a provincial leader." "Really!" Jia Shizhen was stunned for a moment, "I don't have that kind of ambition, so I can't be elated." At this moment, Jia Shizhen can understand Ruan Boda. Maybe Jia Ganzhen has really gone to the Central Party School to study for a year, so the head of the Organization Department of the Xiyu Municipal Party Committee must change his head. Once the head of the organization is replaced, he believes that Jia Shizhen's reform of the cadre and personnel system After becoming a flower in the pan, Ruan Boda's power will naturally return to his position automatically. But Ruan Boda still had some lingering fears. After all, Minister Jia hadn't officially received the notice from the provincial party committee. He knew it too well, and things in the officialdom were too unpredictable, sometimes changing rapidly!He didn't dare to take Minister Jia too seriously, so he changed his ways and slipped away like a loach. When he came to the Organization Department, the offices were as busy as ever, but he still focused on reviewing documents and answering the phone calmly.Jia Shizhen couldn't find any subtle changes on the faces of the subordinates who asked for instructions.He was thinking, didn't the news from the organization reach the ears of comrades in the organization department!Of course, this is also unknown. In the afternoon, Wei Bingqian went to minister Jia's office to deliver documents. Jia Shizhen looked at Wei Bingqian and said, "Bingqian, how is your work? Are you still used to it?" "Minister Jia, I'm a recruit and a layman. I'm hurrying up and studying hard. I think the environment and atmosphere of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee are good." "Wei Bingqian, we need to re-understand the organization department." Jia Shizhen said, "It can't be like the past, when you go to the organization department and dare not say anything, dare not express what you mean, I advocate that everyone should dare to express their opinions, It doesn’t matter if you have a wrong opinion, how can the leader’s opinion be correct for a lot of work?” Wei Bing smiled dryly and said, "Minister Jia, that's the case in theory, but leaders are always leaders! Who wants to listen to different opinions?" Jia Shizhen suddenly said: "Bingqian, I want to ask you something, you must tell me the truth." Jia Shizhen looked at Wei Bingqian, "Have you heard anything about me recently?" Wei Binggan was taken aback for a moment, and said with a blushing face, "Minister Jia, you are referring to the rumor that you were asked to study at the Central Party School!" Jia Shizhen nodded: "Have you all heard?" Wei Bingqian said: "Minister Jia, since the leader asked me, I'll tell you the facts. Yes, the city government agencies have been rumoring that you went to the Central Party School to study. In fact, leading cadres go to the Party School to study. It's a very normal thing, but someone is adding fuel to the back and making a big fuss, but I think that this matter is deliberately publicized behind the scenes, in order to hope that you will really leave the Organization Department of the Xiyu City Committee." Jia Shizhen smiled and said, "This matter is a bit pending!" Wei Bingqian said: "Minister Jia, recently, I have carefully studied a large number of documents of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. In fact, there are already many documents related to the reform of the cadre and personnel system. Some of your practices are completely within the scope of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. I don’t know why it caused such a big controversy! In fact, I don’t think it’s what you, the head of the organization, did, or what kind of head of the organization you are. It’s that you first selected leaders that our country has used for decades. The routine of cadres has been broken, so some people can't accept it. People are used to a small number of leaders using their power to recommend and select cadres. The more secretive the power is, the more awe-inspiring they are. There is also the issue of privileges in the organization department. Minister Jia, you know the agency Here, how does the society view the organization department! However, once this habit is to be broken and power and privileges abolished, those with vested interests will of course do everything possible to obstruct it. So I always feel that those rumors are man-made and subjective!" Jia Shizhen looked at Wei Bingqian, he really didn't expect Wei Bingqian to see the organization department so deeply.Jia Shizhen said, "Go ahead!" "I don't know how the Organization Department of the Central Committee and the organizational departments at all levels view the current shortcomings in China's 'government of officials', and I don't know how many organization ministers across the country understand and implement the cadre and personnel system of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The document of the reform, but I think that the reform you Minister Jia made in Xiyu is the prelude to a wonderful drama, and this prelude has already been grasped by you, and is about to be slowly opened!" Having said that, Wei Bingqian looked a little excited, "Minister Jia, I believe that no matter what the result is, it is a commendable and praiseworthy thing! This has nothing to do with whether you go to the Central Party School to study, who will be the head of the Municipal Party Committee Organization It doesn't matter much. I firmly believe that this wonderful drama will definitely be staged, and the prelude will definitely be opened no matter whether it is you, Minister Jia, or anyone else." Encouraged by Wei Bingqian, Jia Shizhen stood up from her seat and said excitedly: "Informative, in-depth, and high-level. This is a talent selected by the reform of the cadre and personnel system! Reform is the real Bodong!" Another two days passed, and Jia Shizhen still hadn't received the notification from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. However, the news that Minister Jia was going to study at the Central Party School in Xiyu City became more and more miraculous.Jia Shizhen's mood has calmed down a lot. He went in and out of the Organization Department of the Xiyu Municipal Party Committee as usual. In the morning, as soon as Jia Shizhen entered the office, the phone rang. He didn't answer the phone, but just looked at the caller ID...
