Chapter 19 Chapter Nineteen

Master Tian Ma learned from his buddies that Liu Ping, the master of No. 1 car, was active and wanted to take his place.This is not a good thing.He originally entered the local commission office because of his brother-in-law who was the vice president of the Agricultural Bank of China at the time and Zhang Zhaolin's relationship.But this kind of relationship is after all the relationship between the subordinate and the superior, and now the brother-in-law has been transferred to another place.When I arranged for you to join the prefectural committee, it was already for saving face. How can you expect them to take care of you for a long time?Favors are sometimes the same as banknotes, as much favors can only do so many things, and once they are spent, they are gone.Who knows what background Master Liu has?It's really worrying.Secretary-General Wu can't figure out the depth, who knows what is his relationship with Master Liu?Are you looking for Secretary Zhang by yourself?It's not right.

Ma Jie seemed to see that Zhang Zhaolin was not satisfied with him.When he went back to the countryside, Ma Jie somehow mentioned Guan Yinda.Guan Yinda is easy-going and treats Ma Jie very politely on weekdays.When Ma Jie mentioned Guan Yinda, he couldn't help admiring him.He was talking about how capable Guan Yinda was when he suddenly felt strangely quiet in his ears.It turned out that neither Zhang Zhaolin nor Meng Weizhou said anything.Ma Jie immediately fell silent.At this moment, what he felt was no longer the silence, but the noise of the air conditioner.The Santana that Zhang Zhaolin was riding in was very old, and the air conditioner was not very good, so the noise seemed to be particularly loud that day.But the cooling effect is not bad, but Ma Jie's neck is dripping with sweat.On the same matter, Ma Jie and Meng Weizhou had different experiences.Ma Jie found that Zhang Zhaolin was not interested in him, and Meng Weizhou realized that Tao Fan's era had passed forever.From then on, he kept silent about any topic related to Tao Fan, and naturally he never talked about Guan Yinda.

After much deliberation, Ma Jie had no other choice but to ask Xiao Meng for help.He regretted that he shouldn't have treated Xiaomeng that way.I don't know if Xiao Meng is generous or not aware of it, but the young man doesn't seem to care about his disrespect. That day, he was also on a business trip in the county.Master Ma found an opportunity to say to Xiao Meng: "Meng Section Chief, I think we work together very harmoniously!" Master Ma had stopped complaining for a long time, and began to call Section Chief Meng. Xiao Meng said, "Yes, yes, I feel the same way."

Master Ma said: "People still need to read more books. Secretary Zhang has a high level, and you can talk to him. I can't do it, old man. You talked about some things, and I was confused." When Xiao Meng heard this, he knew that Master Ma must have something important to say.He said politely: "Where is it? Secretary Zhang's level is called level. As his secretary, as long as I don't make mistakes, I will be great. I don't want to be meritorious, but I want to be free from fault." Master Ma admired: "Look at you, what kind of merits and mistakes have you made? I can't explain it. It's the same meaning, but if you speak it out at a level, the taste will be different."

Xiao Meng didn't want to listen to him going around in circles anymore, and inspired: "I just like your openness and straightforwardness, and you can talk about anything. It is also a blessing to work with you!" Master Ma grasped Xiaomeng's expression and said: "I admire Secretary Zhang very much. It is worth the hard work to follow such a leader. As long as Secretary Zhang doesn't dislike it and works with you, Section Chief Meng, it doesn't matter how tired you are. Our part-time workers , and don’t want to be an official, what are you trying to do? Just want others to look up to you!”

Xiaomeng finally understood Master Ma's intention.Xiao Meng knows Liu Ping's intention to replace Ma Jie.Secretary-General Wu was a little relieved, but Secretary Zhang disagreed.He said that they are all staff members of the prefectural committee, and everyone is good, so there is no need to exchange them.If it is not done well, it will cause unnecessary speculation outside.This matter has already been settled. I wonder if Master Ma knows the ins and outs of the matter?Xiaomeng decided to take the opportunity to act and make some fuss about this matter.Seeing that Master Ma was still making detours, he tentatively said: "Your position is the busiest, and you have great responsibilities. It seems simple, but it is not something anyone can do if they want to. It takes a lot of time to really do it well. Work hard, hard work! But there are still some people who stare at this position. Some people have impure motives, thinking that they can reap benefits by running with the secretary!"

Master Ma thought to himself, Section Chief Meng knew about this, but he was just hinting at himself in order not to speak out.Having made it clear to this point, he simply asked Xiao Meng directly: "Is someone doing my hands and feet?" Xiao Meng smiled and said, "You know everything yourself, so why hide it from me?" Master Ma then said what he heard from others.When Xiaomeng heard this, he confirmed his guess, knowing that what Master Ma had heard was really outdated news.Meng Weizhou's calculation was: if Master Ma didn't know that the matter had already been settled, he would say to do the work; if Master Ma knew that everything was safe, he would say that he had told Secretary Zhang about it.Either way, it's an understatement.At this moment, he had the bottom line in his mind, and he became even more convincing: "Master Ma, I shouldn't have told you about this. It's against the principle. But anyway, you know it yourself. I won't tell you the details. , whatever you heard about the situation, it’s whatever it is. I suggest that you don’t inquire about it yourself, and don’t go to activities, it’s not good. I can do some work, and I believe I won’t touch you casually.”

Ma Jie thanked immediately.During the few days outside, Ma Jie was extraordinarily attentive to Meng Weizhou.Of course, as long as Zhang Zhaolin was present, their eyes would only follow Secretary Zhang.When the two of them get along alone, they naturally distinguish between superiority and inferiority. A few days later, Master Ma asked Xiaomeng, "How is the matter?" Meng Weizhou said mysteriously: "It hasn't been decided in the end. Secretary-General Wu is interested in letting Master Liu come, but don't worry, Secretary Zhang must decide in the end. Don't go to Secretary-General Wu. You know his temper. Maybe the problem will get more complicated. I will discuss it with Secretary Zhang today."

Master Ma was so anxious that night that he wanted to get up several times and go to Xiaomeng's single dormitory to ask for news, but he held back.It's too urgent, and it's hard to save face.After all, isn't it just driving a car for the secretary of the prefectural committee?What's the big deal?It's a joke to tell.But it was really important to him. Early the next morning, Ma Jie drove the car to Meng Weizhou's bachelor building as usual, and honked the horn five minutes earlier than usual.Ever since Zhang Zhaolin became the leader, Master Ma has always been like this, picking up Xiaomeng on time at 7:40 every morning, and then together with Xiaomeng to pick up Secretary Zhang.Usually arrived at Secretary Zhang's house at 7:50.Xiaomeng took Zhang Zhaolin's bag and said goodbye to Aunt Shu to Secretary Zhang's wife.Zhang Zhaolin didn't say anything the first time he accepted this kind of service, but Xiao Meng Xiaoma just persisted.Today when the car arrived at Xiaomeng's downstairs, Xiaomeng was still drinking porridge.Xiaomeng stuck his head out of the window, indicating to wait a moment.

As soon as Xiao Meng got into the car, Master Ma wanted to ask, but stopped.Xiaomeng deliberately took it easy, waited for a while, and said, "I told Secretary Zhang, it's all right." Master Ma immediately breathed a sigh of relief and even said thank you.But Xiaomeng said, "But this morning the final decision is made. Secretary Zhang will discuss with Secretary-General Wu. Don't worry, Secretary Zhang has made the decision. The communication is just overdone." Master Ma believed this, but he was still uneasy. After sending Secretary Zhang home at noon, Xiao Meng told Master Ma in the car: "Now it's finalized."

Master Ma was full of joy, he didn't know how to thank him, he kept asking: "Is that right?" "But I want to tell you," Xiaomeng said, "don't reveal anything, just pretend you don't know anything, pretend it didn't happen. I just pretend I didn't know about it. This involves differences of opinion among leaders. The problem, if you talk about it, it will cause trouble, especially not for you." "Of course, of course." Master Ma was very grateful and insisted that Meng Weizhou come to his house for lunch and a few drinks.Xiaomeng is single anyway and eats in the cafeteria, so he doesn't refuse much. Master Ma's wife, Xiao He, is quick and quick to make four dishes and one soup.Xiao Meng said: "At noon, at noon, keep it simple, just have a few glasses of beer." Master Ma smiled and said: "It's simple, it's simple, four dishes and one soup, the standard for building a clean government." Master Ma would say thank you to Section Chief Meng almost every time he took a sip of wine, and the words of thanks became his appetizers.Xiao He is also an expert, and kept flattering Xiao Meng, saying: "Meng Kechang is young and promising, and has a bright future. After a few years, he will go down to the county to be gilded, and when he comes up again, he will be the leader of the prefectural committee? At that time, our little horse will be the leader of the prefectural committee." I’ll let you drive the car, but I still need you to take care of me.” Xiaomeng said: "Don't talk about this, don't talk about this. What can I, Xiaomeng, do? Master Ma and I are good partners. We serve Secretary Zhang together. We must do our best, think about the leadership at all times, and maintain the image of the leader at all times. As for this matter, Master Ma must pay special attention to handling the relationship with Master Liu. You just don’t know about it. This involves the relationship between Secretary Zhang and Secretary Tao, so don’t be careless.” Master Ma listened respectfully and even claimed yes.He has regarded Xiaomeng as his leader from the bottom of his heart.Since then, Master Ma has respected Meng Weizhou and obeyed his advice.He has a deal with Secretary-General Wu, but he can't help but be his immediate boss. A matter that did not exist in the first place was performed by Meng Weizhou in such twists and turns, which was thrilling, and made Master Ma terrified for several days.The more twists and turns things seemed, the more it meant that Meng Weizhou's work was difficult, and Master Ma felt more grateful.This incident made Meng Weizhou secretly proud many years later, and he found that he had a lot of talent in politics. Meng Weizhou and Ma Jie followed Zhang Zhaolin to the provincial meeting, and Meng and Ma lived in the same room.One night, Master Ma couldn't bear it any longer, and said to Meng Weizhou, "Section Chief Meng, please ask Secretary Zhang for advice and change to another car. If you don't want to buy a new one, you can change to No. 1 car. The secretaries of other cities Who is not a car with a Crown 3.0 or above? Who still rides in Santana? This is also the image of leadership.” Meng Weizhou could see that now that Ma Jie found his position secure, he began to play tricks on No. 1 car master Liu Ping.He couldn't help sighing in his heart: man, if you push me today, I'll kick you tomorrow.But he didn't want to break through this layer.In all fairness, Meng Weizhou also hoped that Secretary Zhang would have a good car, not to mention the comfort of the car, but also make his face brighter in front of outsiders.There are many people who look down on people with a dog's eyes.The drivers in other cities always joked in front of him and Ma Jie, saying that Secretary Zhang was a famous patriotic person and took a patriotic car. Meng Weizhou guessed that Secretary Zhang would not agree to buy a new car for the time being.It is not Secretary Zhang's style to be in a hurry to buy a new car after less than a year as the secretary of the prefectural party committee.Meng Weizhou said: "Secretary Zhang and I talked about this matter, and he didn't advocate buying or changing cars."Spring and Autumn strokes, subtle words and great meaning. Meng Weizhou had a desire to make a speech today, and since he opened the topic, he simply eloquently said: "Master Ma, these matters are for the leaders to decide for themselves. We don't need to worry about it, or it will be a waste of help and affect the image of the leader. The image of the leader is too important. Of course, the United States is an exception. While Clinton was accused of sexual harassment, military evasion, and drug use, he was still the president. China is different. The masses have discerning eyes, and they have high requirements for leaders. Clinton was born in the United States It was his good fortune. If he was born in China, with his virtues, would he still want to be the president? Wishful thinking, daydreaming! I mean, no matter where the leader is, the image is very important. When it comes to spirit, the spirit is more important. Leaders must have Spiritual power, the masses must have spiritual support. So Comrade Mao Zedong said long ago that people must always have a little spirit. For example, Du Fu suffered from displacement during the Anshi Rebellion, but he "must think of the king every meal" "We have to ask now, what kindness does the king have to him? But he still has gratitude to the emperor Lao Tzu. Loyalty to the king was his spiritual pillar at that time. As a descendant of the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Mei, of course, saw it more clearly. He wrote a poem saying, Don't sing the song of regret for the old age, the world also has its own galaxy.In Shihao Village, husband and wife parted, and there were more tears than those in the Hall of Eternal Life. Here he critically pointed out that it was only because the emperor indulged in pleasure and neglected government affairs that the Anshi Rebellion was caused, and thousands of people were separated from life and death like the couple in Shihao Village.This is the spirit, yes, the spirit.Spirit matters..." Meng Weizhou saw that he couldn't close his speech, so he pretended to be in a hurry to urinate, left behind a nonsensical "spirit", and hurried into the bathroom.Make faces in the mirror while urinating, thinking my nonsense is ridiculous.There was no urination, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few drops, which was similar to the speech just now.Alas, I used to be famous for speaking at universities, but now I have degenerated.Running with the leader usually only needs to say yes or good, and there are not many opportunities to speak.This is a crisis! Meng Weizhou hid in the toilet and laughed at himself, but Ma Jie admired him very much, and he opened his mouth to talk about ancient and modern China and foreign countries.I only hate myself for reading less books and not being able to understand them. The personal relationship between Meng Weizhou and Ma Jie seems to be getting closer and closer, like best friends.Meng Weizhou never forgot his uncle's teaching: never make friends with colleagues.However, he has developed his uncle's theory. He believes that colleagues still need to make friends, but they should pay attention to fortifications and don't give others a handle. After a while, Mr. Shu Peide, the general manager of Tuyuan Company, was going to present a new Crown car to Secretary Zhang to thank the prefectural committee and Secretary Zhang for their strong support to his company.Secretary Zhang disagreed, saying: "How can the prefectural committee take advantage of the company's oil and water? Especially private companies like Tuyuan, which are new economic growth points, should be vigorously protected. We can't accept so-called political donations like some Western countries. This is not allowed by our system. We are not that kind of money politics! The prefectural committee can’t start this!” But Mr. Shu is sincere, what should we do?After a few rounds of push and go, it was finally decided that the prefectural committee firmly cannot accept gifts, and only borrow them.Zhang Zhaolin had a new mount. Meng Weizhou fully believed in Mr. Shu's sincerity.Because Mr. Shu has a good personal relationship with Secretary Zhang.Among the many business leaders in the whole district, only the boss of Tuyuan is called Mr. Shu.As long as people in Xizhou talk about Mr. Shu, everyone knows that they are referring to Shu Peide.When Meng Weizhou first came to work with Zhang Zhaolin, he saw Mr. Shu often walking around Zhang Zhaolin's place, and guessed that the two had been friends for a long time.Zhang Zhaolin is generally very polite to the person in charge of the company.Comrades in the enterprise, it is not easy, we need to solve their problems more.Mr. Shu can be said to be a self-made entrepreneur, which Zhang Zhaolin values ​​even more. Mr. Shu's background is unknown to Meng Wei, and he only heard bits and pieces, like a legend.It is said that he went out to travel around the world since he was a child, and later became a business representative of a foreign company in China.Mr. Shu came to the region for investment investigation a few years ago, and Zhang Zhaolin received him, and the two got along very well.There is a short story that Zhang Zhaolin entertained Mr. Shu, the waitress accidentally spilled a bowl of soup, and Zhang Zhaolin got a piece of grease on his pants.Zhang Zhaolin felt very uncomfortable for making such a fool of himself, and severely criticized the service lady: "Your service level is too bad. Fortunately, it happened to me, but Mr. Shu has international influence!" Mr. Shu waved his hands again and again: "It's not hard to do it Ms., it’s not hard to be Ms., I’m a very casual person, and I’m a compatriot from China.” Later, Mr. Shu didn’t want to work for foreign bosses, so he came out to start his own business and set up Tuyuan Company.Meng Weizhou admired Mr. Shu's ability.Look at Bao Yugang, Li Ka-shing, Huo Yingdong, and Zeng Xianzi, they are all self-made rich men.Who can predict Mr. Shu's future?Heroes don't ask about their origins! The Crown sedan had number 5 on it.Some people also suggested changing to No. 1, since Mr. Tao doesn't use the car very much anyway.Zhang Zhaolin said: "No need!" In Meng Weizhou's view, these details of Zhang Zhaolin are all possessed by a talented person.However, Xizhou people have already established a convention in their minds, knowing that the current 5 in Xizhou is equivalent to the original 1.Someone told a joke that there were people fighting on Xizhou Street, and one shouted angrily: "Who are you?" The other replied: "I am the fifth!" At the end of the year, as usual, relevant departments should be organized to report to the province.From the provincial capital to Xizhou, the mountains are high and the roads are far away. It is difficult for comrades in the province to come here.I had no choice but to come to report on my own initiative, thank the superiors for their support and concern over the past year, and request to continue to pay attention to it in the future.Since it is approaching the end of the year, it is human nature to bring some local products.The province has repeatedly said hello, and it is not recommended that prefectural and city leaders lead a team to report to the province collectively.But once you go, it's not easy for people to turn you away.It's hard work coming from afar.But what happens if you don't go?No one has ever tried it. After preparing for a long time, we can start now.On this day, Tang Banxian, general manager of Tang, went to Secretary Zhang's office to report on his work. After finishing, he said, "Secretary Zhang has a smooth journey to the provincial capital." Secretary Zhang said with a smile: "You are a lucky person. With your words, everything will go smoothly. Do you have to pay attention to the time when we are on the road tomorrow?" Tang Banxian replied: "I've already done the calculation for you. Tomorrow should be an early departure, and the train will leave on time at 6:08 a.m., and everything will be fine." After Tang Banxian left, Zhang Zhaolin called Secretary-General Wu and asked, "Has the notice been issued?" Secretary-General Wu said: "The notice was issued yesterday afternoon." Zhang Zhaolin said: "Tomorrow we will leave early. We are afraid of traffic jams on the road, so we won't be able to arrive in a day. Tell everyone to gather at 5:50 in the morning and have breakfast on the way." Secretary-General Wu said: "That's right. Roads are being built in several places along the way, so go early. Then make an additional announcement." Meng Weizhou knew the reason for the job change notice, but Secretary-General Wu did not, so he was very grateful to Secretary Zhang for his trust.At first everyone thought Zhang Zhaolin was very easy-going, unlike Tao Fan who always had a dark face.But Zhang Zhaolin gradually became serious, and he couldn't easily show a smile on his face.But he was more casual with Meng Weizhou, and sometimes he was so casual that Meng Weizhou was embarrassed.Meng Weizhou had discovered a rule long ago: Secretary Zhang was generally casual when alone with him, and even more casual when he was on a business trip.As long as the leaders below are present, or he returns to the prefectural committee from outside, he seems to be a different person.Zhang Zhaolin sometimes made a few indecent jokes, making people feel that this leader is very close to the masses.But Meng Weizhou just echoed and smiled, never played on Secretary Zhang's jokes, and never repeated his jokes on any occasion.Those indecent jokes made by leading comrades are usually caused by forgetting one's feelings under certain circumstances, and they may later regret their gaffes.Do you dare to repeat such a joke?In a word, a leader is always a leader, and a subordinate is always a subordinate.The leader is easy to approach with you, and you are the same as the leader.Don't get carried away when you see the leader talking casually with you. In the early morning of the next day, everyone rushed to the conference room of the office building of the prefectural committee.Zhang Zhaolin greeted Commissioner Lu and asked, "Secretary-General Wu, are you all here?" Secretary-General Wu said, "It's almost there." Zhang Zhaolin asked: "Almost? How much is the difference?" Secretary-General Wu hesitated a little, and said, "The only thing missing is the Finance Bureau." Commissioner Lu said: "Comrade Liu Yun, wait for her." Secretary-General Wu nodded, not looking at Zhang Zhaolin, but only greeted other comrades.Zhang Zhaolin kept silent and smoked heavily, his face lost in the thick smoke. It was five past six, and Liu Yun hadn't arrived yet.Zhang Zhaolin turned his head to Commissioner Lu and said, "Let's go, don't wait, she will come later by herself. Lesbians are really mothers-in-law." Commissioner Lu got up and asked, "Will you wait?" Without waiting, Zhang Zhaolin got up and walked out.When I got in the car, it was seven past six.Zhang Zhaolin looked left and right, and asked Meng Weizhou to think about whether he had brought everything he should have.Meng Weizhou thought about it and said, "It's gone." He knew that Secretary Zhang would stay until eight past six.Secretary-General Wu looked out of the car, hoping that Comrade Liu Yun would catch up. Arriving at eight past six, Zhang Zhaolin said, "Let's go." So a dozen small cars drove out of the prefectural committee compound one by one. It was really smooth along the way.Arrived at the provincial capital at 5:30 in the afternoon.The Xizhou Regional Office in the provincial capital has made all preparations for the reception.Yuan Hai, the director of the office, asked the leaders to wash up first before eating. Meng Weizhou put Secretary Zhang's luggage properly and was about to go back to his room when Yuan Hai from the office came.Secretary Zhang was in the bathroom, and Meng Weizhou asked, "Is Yuan Hai okay?" Yuan Hai clung to Meng Weizhou's ear and said softly, "Something happened to Director Liu of the Finance Bureau." "Ah!" Meng Weizhou was taken aback. At this time, Secretary Zhang came out. "Xiao Yuan, sit down." Yuan Hai sighed a few times, but did not sit down.After Secretary Zhang sat on the sofa, Yuan Hai said in a low voice, "Secretary Zhang, report something bad." "What's the matter, let's talk." Zhang Zhaolin didn't care much. "Director Liu had an accident on the road." "What? What is it?" Secretary Zhang raised his head, his eyes wide open. "The car overturned." Yuan Hai said. "Ah? Are you all right? Are you all right?" Secretary Zhang stood up abruptly. "I received the call at noon. Unfortunately, that's the case, as well as the budget section chief and the driver, all three of them are the same, alas!" Secretary Zhang kept shaking his head and walking back and forth in the room.At this time, Commissioner Lu and Secretary-General Wu came and stood aside.It seems that Yuan Hai has already told them.No one spoke, and all watched Secretary Zhang walking around uneasily. After a while, Commissioner Lu said: "Look, look, who would have thought that this would happen." Secretary Zhang sat down on the sofa and pointed to another sofa, signaling Commissioner Lu to sit down too. Secretary Zhang said sadly: "I am responsible!" Secretary-General Wu said: "Where is it? It's our office's lax time requirements." Dinner was deserted.The office originally prepared a few bottles of good wine to cleanse the leaders.Zhang Zhaolin waved his hand, and the wine was removed.After dinner, Commissioner Lu, Secretary-General Wu, and Yuan Hai from the office sat in Secretary Zhang's room for a while.Meng Weizhou didn't know whether to advance or retreat.Zhang Zhaolin said, "Xiao Meng, sit down." Meng Weizhou sat on the edge of the bed. Everyone calmed down and started talking about it.Secretary-General Wu said: "There are not many capable young female cadres like Liu Yun. She is not yet forty years old." "It will be thirty-seven in October this year." After Zhang Zhaolin finished speaking, he added, "It just so happens that she has been on business trips with us for several birthdays, and she has a deep impression on her." Everyone sighed for a while, and Zhang Zhaolin told Yuan Hai: "Hang up the phone again, find out the details, and let me know later. Please tell their three family members that I will come back the day after tomorrow with Commissioner Lu, and then go to visit them." After this incident, everyone was not in the mood to chat, so Commissioner Lu said, "Comrade Zhaolin, please go to bed early." Zhang Zhaolin shook his head, waved his hands again, and everyone left. Yuan Hai made several phone calls, but nothing went well.It took over an hour to figure it out.The place where the accident happened was 70 kilometers after leaving the Xizhou Prefectural Committee. Because the speed of the car was too fast, it fell into the bottom of the cliff at the corner.The accident happened too early, and it was winter again, so it was not discovered until after ten o'clock in the morning.People have long since lost their enthusiasm. Yuan Hai hesitated for a while, but still knocked on Zhang Zhaolin's door.Zhang Zhaolin was still awake, with a sad expression on his face.The whole house was filled with smoke.After listening to Yuan Hai's report quietly, he only waved his hand lightly.Yuan Hai withdrew. Ma Jie was sleeping on the bed, thinking about Liu Yun's overturned car, and said, "Her driver is usually very steady." Meng Weizhou said: "Maybe they are chasing us today, who knows?" Ma Jie said: "Damn, is it a bad day today? I heard that Mr. Tang of the supplies company understands this, and ask him to figure it out when we go out in the future." Meng Weizhou said: "You really know how to joke, Secretary Zhang will believe this? Communists, thorough materialists!" Meng Weizhou always has a plan for Ma Jie.On a business trip at the grassroots level, at night he played poker with Secretary Zhang and drank midnight snacks. Ma Jie still didn't know about it, but he always thought they were doing something important at night.Meng Weizhou knew that there are many benefits to making some things mysterious.If others are unpredictable to you, they dare not make mistakes.Some things should be kept secret. As I said just now, how can people know that Secretary Zhang believes in superstition? Ma Jie felt that his speech was inappropriate, so he nodded immediately and said, "That's true, that's true. As a leader, you should believe in science." Meng Weizhou didn't really believe in Tang Banxian's tricks at first, but what happened today is a bit mysterious.If Director Liu also leaves at 6:8, maybe nothing will happen?No wonder Secretary Zhang believed it.The science of the United States and Russia is more advanced than ours, but it is said that their presidents believe in astrology and specially hire masters to ask about national affairs.How do you say that?The unknown world is far greater than the known world, don't doubt what you don't understand. After breakfast the next day, everyone gathered in the conference room of the office, waiting for the arrival of the leaders of relevant departments.The briefing is scheduled to begin at 9:00 am.The invitations were sent out early, and the office called again yesterday to invite them.The general arrangement for the entire reporting activity is to hold a comprehensive reporting meeting first, and then each department will carry out corresponding activities separately, and Commissioner Zhang Zhaolin and Lu will visit several provincial leaders.Now that Liu Yun's incident happened unfortunately, Commissioner Lu asked Secretary Zhang to study it. The overall arrangement remains unchanged in principle, but the time for visiting the provincial leaders is shortened, and we will try to finish it this afternoon and evening.If you can't finish it, come back next time.Early tomorrow morning, Secretary Zhang and Commissioner Lu will rush back, and Secretary-General Wu will stay in charge. Everyone was drinking tea in the conference room when the office received a call from the Provincial Bureau of Letters and Calls. Representatives of workers from several difficult enterprises in the area came to the province to petition collectively, saying that they had not received wages for half a year and that they had no means of living.There are more than 30 people in total, and they can't be persuaded to leave. The influence is very bad.Comrades from the Letters and Calls Bureau said: "We have already called your prefectural committee. The problem now is that people refuse to leave. Please send someone from the office to help with the work." When Yuan Hai reported the situation, Secretary Zhang and Commissioner Lu were very annoyed.Commissioner Lu shouted: "These people, we are here to sell sesame oil, and they are here to throw shit!" Secretary Zhang looked at his watch, it was past eight twenty.It's no use getting angry, you have to deal with it immediately.Otherwise, comrades from relevant departments in the province will come, and everyone will have a hard time.Secretary Zhang said: "Time is waiting for no one. Let me give you an opinion first. What do you think? The general principle is two 'sures'. Strictly investigate. Comrades from the bank are here, immediately hang up the phone and go back to tell the family, first loan the basic living expenses of the employees, and spend money to buy stability. Secretary-General Wu, comrades from the Economic Committee and the office immediately go to persuade people to go back. To buy a good train ticket, send They only count when they get in the car. They have to be escorted, and they can’t be allowed to get off the car halfway and come back!” Everyone agrees with this opinion.Arrangements are made, and the time is almost up.Secretary-General Wu and others rushed out, and comrades from provincial departments arrived one after another. The atmosphere of the briefing was very good.The comrades in the province said that the Xizhou area has developed rapidly in recent years, they are very satisfied, and unanimously expressed their support as always. A light banquet will be held at noon.Zhang Zhaolin and Commissioner Lu held wine glasses and toasted each table, followed by Meng Weizhou to say hello.But Zhang Zhaolin only touched his lips to show his expression.The comrades in the province smiled, expressed their opinions, and said, "Who doesn't know your secretary Zhang's drinking capacity? Why did you behave like this today?" Commissioner Lu hurriedly explained: "Secretary Zhang is not in good condition these days, please forgive him. I will accompany you all." Commissioner Lu explained from table to table, and basically passed the test.However, President Hu of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China refused to follow him. He still remembered the revenge of the past and refused to let it go, so Meng Weizhou drank it on behalf of him.After the banquet, we parted happily. After all the guests were sent away, Secretary-General Wu rushed back, looking exhausted.Secretary-General Wu said: "The person was finally sent away, but the work was too difficult." Zhang Zhaolin said: "It's been hard work, it's hard work. Eat first and take a rest. In the afternoon, I will go out with Commissioner Lu for activities, so you don't want to go. Just hang up the phone and go back to share the opinions we studied in the morning with the leaders at home. It must be implemented immediately." Early the next morning, Secretary Zhang and Commissioner Lu hurried back home.Usually running long distances, Zhang Zhaolin likes to listen to music.But this time, Ma Jie turned on the music as usual, and Zhang Zhaolin said calmly, "Turn it off." Secretary Zhang is a person who talks about feelings. He must feel guilty towards Liu Yun, or have more complicated feelings.Meng Weizhou faintly felt something at Liu Yun's memorial service.Commissioner Lu delivered the eulogy, and Secretary Zhang made a short speech of less than three minutes.In just a few sentences, the words are simple, the words are true, and they are deeply touching.Meng Weizhou participated in many memorial services with Zhang Zhaolin.When he saw Zhang Zhaolin, he was often only polite and solemn, and would not be overwhelmed with grief.It's not indifference or hypocrisy, it's just human nature.It is usually said that because someone's death is deeply mourned, it is completely polite to turn grief into strength.But this time was different.
