Chapter 24 Chapter Twenty-Four

A few days later, the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee was held.Chen Mo met Peng Yimin at the door of the county committee meeting room. Peng Yimin shook hands with Chen Mo with a smile, and said, Minister Chen, what are you busy with recently? Chen Mo said, what else can you be busy with, busy completing the work you have given.Peng Yimin laughed and said, I didn't tell you what kind of work you do.Chen Mo said, the Propaganda Department is the Propaganda Department of the county party committee. You, the deputy secretary of the county party committee, really want to give up my department? This is giving up leadership.

Peng Yimin laughed out loud. Dai Wei, the executive deputy county magistrate, came in, saw the two were joking, and interjected, "If you don't give up, it seems that you are going to fight for the leadership." Chen Mo's heart trembled, Dai Wei's joke was too big.Sure enough, Peng Yimin's face changed a little, and he said that the leadership is not something that can be won by fighting for it. Chen Mo couldn't talk, so he practiced Taijiquan. Wang Gu said to him, he got up and said, Secretary Peng, do you know what this meeting is about? No? Dai Wei said, neither of them knew, how could I know.

Chen Mo saw that the words of the two were not very speculative, so he didn't know what to do for a while.Coincidentally, Zhang Bozhong, director of the county people's congress, and An Ruoshan, chairman of the county political consultative conference, also came. They smiled and walked over to greet Zhang Bozhong and An Ruoshan, and left the place of right and wrong.Zhang Bozhong is serious and doesn't tell jokes very much, just chatting with each other about some homely things.An Ruoshan is different, he is a talkative and laughing person, when he saw Chen Mo sticking over, he laughed in a low voice, what are you sticking to us, why not stick to the leader.Don't you want to be promoted in the critical period? Chen Mo laughed and said that in the critical period, the democratic parties are still reliable.Let's coexist for a long time and share weal and woe.An Ruoshan said, long-term coexistence is fine, we share weal and woe, depending on your performance, the Propaganda Department has several proposals to answer, I am not satisfied.

Chen Mo said with a smile, guilty and guilty.Isn't it just that there is no proposal for a resumption of the meeting? I promise to hold a meeting immediately and meet with the committee members.An Ruoshan smiled and said, this is the right thing to do well, the committee members must eat, drink, and smoke when they attend the meeting.It cannot be worse than the treatment of deputies to the National People's Congress. Zhang Bozhong gave An Ruoshan a blank look, and said, there is nothing special about us deputies to the National People's Congress.You, Chairman An, talk about the National People's Congress for everything.An Ruoshan laughed again, and said that the status of members of the CPPCC should be on par with that of deputies to the National People's Congress.

Everyone was joking, and Dong Wei entered the meeting room with a briefcase under his arm, and sat down on the chairman's seat.Dong Wei's face was tired and melancholy, even a little dull, Chen Mo thought, it seems that Dong Wei will not stay in Longshui for long. After everyone sat down, Dong Wei raised his head and counted the number of people.There were still a few people who did not come, Dong Wei called the secretary to remind them, and they all arrived in a short while.Dong Wei said feebly, "Today, we will hold a standing committee, mainly to study the issue of the county government's leadership after Lin Zhifeng was arrested."We all know that after the explosion of Guangyuan Company's sulfuric acid plant that seriously polluted the Wulong River, many problems occurred in our county.First, Zhang Zicheng, the deputy county magistrate in charge of industry, committed suicide, and then Lin Zhifeng, the county magistrate, was arrested.The minds of the cadres and the masses are still relatively confused.I communicated with some comrades in the Standing Committee, and also consulted the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee. I felt that someone should come to preside over the work of the county government.Below, please express your opinion.

Everyone was silent, and no one was the first to speak. At this time, everyone had their own thoughts, but no one would easily express their true thoughts.Dong Wei smoked a cigarette, sat down on the table, leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, Peng Yimin finally couldn't bear it anymore, coughed and said, I'm here to express some opinions.If it is wrong, Secretary Dong and all members of the Standing Committee are invited to criticize and correct.As he spoke, he observed everyone's reactions, and saw that everyone seemed to have nothing to do with them, and the reaction was not enthusiastic, so he had to bite the bullet and continue.After the Wulong River pollution incident, as Secretary Dong said, the county government has no leader, which is only second.More importantly, Zhang Zicheng committed suicide, Lin Zhifeng was arrested, and the thoughts of the cadres and the masses were somewhat confused and at a loss.Therefore, I very much agree with Secretary Dong's proposal that someone should temporarily preside over the work of the county government.Regarding the comrades who temporarily preside over the work of the county government, I think there must be a basic requirement. Of course, the first is to have considerable qualifications, if they are leading cadres above the deputy county level, and they are members of the Standing Committee of the county party committee; second, they must meet the requirements of young cadres. Knowledgeable and professional spirit; Third, comrades who have worked in Longshui County for more than three years and have a good understanding of the various situations in Longshui County.In short, our Longshui County is currently in a crisis, and it is very important to choose a person who temporarily presides over the work of the county government for our county to stabilize the cadres' thinking and tide over the difficulties smoothly.

Chen Mo listened carefully to Peng Yimin's speech, smiled and said that according to the conditions set by Peng Yimin, he was the only one in the Standing Committee who was suitable.It seems that Peng Yimin doesn't even want to do basic detours. Dai Wei, executive deputy county magistrate, continued to speak.Compared with Peng Yimin, Dai Wei's speech was much more tactful. Dai Wei said, let me say a few words. I agree with the speeches made by Secretary Dong and Comrade Yimin just now. There is a problem with the main leaders of the county government. This heart-wrenching incident also sounded the alarm for us to be honest and self-disciplined.As the saying goes, a bird can't fly without a head, and a snake can't fly without a head. As the general headquarters of the county's economic construction, it cannot be without someone to preside over its work. As long as I grow up, I must firmly obey and cooperate earnestly to overcome difficulties and welcome victory together.

Chen Mo listened silently, thinking in his heart, it is said that Dai Wei is not capable enough, and he was attached to Dong Wei. It seems that this rumor is not true.When Peng Yimin was ambitious and wanted to fight, Dai Wei hid his intentions even deeper, which was a bit like keeping a low profile.He stated that as the executive deputy county magistrate, he would obey the comrades who temporarily presided over the government's work and cooperate well, which actually implied two meanings.One is to remind everyone here that he is the executive deputy county magistrate.By convention, the county magistrate is present, and the executive deputy magistrate is of course the convener and host of the county magistrate meeting.The second is to leave a relatively open strategic depth for myself. In case I am not appointed to act as the county magistrate, I can retreat quickly.Third, compared with Peng Yimin's speech, his statement is easier to obtain the approval of the Standing Committee members, thus winning an alliance for himself.A very short speech with such deep intentions is difficult to achieve without certain qualities.

Next, other members of the Standing Committee also expressed their opinions, but none of them had anything new.Only Zhang Bozhong's speech raised a little disagreement with Peng Yimin's speech.Zhang Bozhong said that as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and director of the National People's Congress, I mainly offer some opinions from the functional departments of the National People's Congress.I feel that the candidate for the temporary presidency of the county government must first have both ability and political integrity.Lin Zhifeng's lesson is very profound. If virtue is ignored, there may be a phenomenon of corruption.As for the conditions, of course I also agree with Comrade Yimin's opinion that they should be selected from deputy county-level leading cadres, especially the standing committee members of the county party committee.However, if you have to work in Longshui for more than three years, this is a bit harsh.As long as you have both ability and political integrity, you don't have to work in Longshui for more than three years. If you are not familiar with the situation, you can get acquainted with it while working, and you must get familiar with it.

Speaking of this, Zhang Bozhong seemed to glance at Chen Mo unintentionally. There was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes, as if implying that Chen Mo, I said this for you.Chen Mo also expressed his gratitude with his eyes.Such a Standing Committee, the atmosphere is really delicate to the extreme. After everyone finished speaking, Chen Mo spoke.Chen Mo is always the last one to speak. This is not only because he ranks low in the Standing Committee, but also because of official wisdom.Chen Mo found that some leaders always speak at the end, because the last speech can integrate the views of the previous speakers, making it appear that their thinking is more comprehensive, level, and irrefutable, and it is simply irrefutable.

Chen Mo's speech was very steady, and he only agreed with the opinions of all the previous comrades, and he was careful not to be biased. In this kind of meeting on personnel research, it is most taboo to speak with a bias. If he leans toward Peng Yimin, he will undoubtedly Offended Dai Wei, and vice versa.And even offended some people who you didn't know were interested in this position.At the same time, as the secretary of the county party committee, it is not appropriate for Dong Wei to put forward specific opinions before he has made a clear statement. The meeting lasted all morning, but still no one came up with a specific list. Seeing that it was already half past eleven, Dong Wei proposed to have lunch first and continue the meeting in the afternoon.Everyone left the meeting room and went to the canteen of the county party committee. When drinking, Peng Yimin was more active, respecting this and that, and drinking a lot himself.Seeing this, Dai Wei was not to be outdone, and followed Peng Yimin to toast the table.Chen Mo didn't drink much, and felt a little drunk, but he was not confused and kept a low profile. After everyone drank some wine, the meeting in the afternoon became lively and the speeches became more lively. The speech in the afternoon was very interesting, and Yin Zhijie, the director of the county party committee office, actually opened the fire.Yin Zhijie said, let me say a few words. I feel that the speeches of the leaders in the morning are very reasonable.For the afternoon meeting, I suggest that it should be more specific, and only when people are researched can it be settled.I would like to make an immature opinion. I think that Comrade Peng Yimin has worked in Longshui for a long time. He came up step by step from the grassroots level. He has work experience and is familiar with the situation.Comrade Yimin is very capable and has a down-to-earth style. Everyone has seen this, so I suggest that Comrade Yimin temporarily take charge of the work of the county government. When Yin Zhijie was talking, Peng Yimin smiled and looked at Yin Zhijie with gratitude and encouragement.Chen Mo thinks, as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and Director of the County Party Committee Office, Yin Zhijie and Peng Yimin have the closest relationship.It seems that they arranged for Yin Zhijie to shoot at the beginning, of course, maybe it was just a coincidence.As a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, Yin Zhijie is relatively young, and it is time for him to start his career, so he must also want to support him.It's just that Yin Zhijie offended Dai Wei, the executive deputy county magistrate, by doing so. After Yin Zhijie spoke, everyone also spoke one after another.Peng Yimin, Chen Mo, and Dai Wei were mentioned respectively.Among them, Zhang Bozhong highlighted Chen Mo.Chen Mo had no choice but to cast a grateful look at Zhang Bozhong, it was necessary, and he couldn't let the person who recommended him become cold-hearted. As usual, Chen Mo was the last to speak. First of all, he thanked everyone for their nomination, and then resolutely declined.Chen Mo said, I have only arrived in Longshui not long ago, so I am not familiar with the situation and people.I am in favor of Secretary Yimin and County Magistrate Dai Wei as the candidates to temporarily preside over the work of the county government to be recommended to higher-level organizations.To be honest, my resignation is not out of modesty, but out of the truth.Other leaders in the county also talked to me individually, and I have the same attitude.Whether Comrade Yimin or Comrade Dai Wei presides over the work of the county government, I will firmly support and cooperate. Next, the nominees Peng Yimin and Dai Wei spoke for the second time, expressing their gratitude to everyone for their trust and saying a few words of humility.Peng Yimin said, I am very grateful for everyone's trust in me. I am too humble to be able to take on this important task and live up to everyone's expectations.Of course, as a leading cadre who has been trained by the party for decades, I can only say that I will obey whatever the organization decides. Chen Mo smiled, maybe it was because of Peng Yimin's drinking, this speech was a little too blunt, and he exposed himself at a glance.When Peng Yimin was speaking, Dai Wei's face was very interesting, he looked very serious at one moment, and at the other showed a kind of ridicule. With Peng Yimin's uncompromising speech, Dai Wei's speech became a little blunt.Dai Wei said that according to the practice of government formation, when the county magistrate is not at home, the executive deputy magistrate presides over the work of the county government and convenes and presides over the executive meeting of the county magistrate.This is what our county has always done.Therefore, after Lin Zhifeng's accident, under the leadership of Secretary Dong and the county party committee, I feel that I have fulfilled this duty seriously.Everyone mentioned my name, and I felt terrified and apprehensive. The burden was too heavy. I felt that it would be better for Comrade Chen Mo to preside over it. Interestingly, Peng Yimin and Dai Wei mentioned Chen Mo's name at the same time, but did not mention each other.It seems that these two also know that Chen Mo has no intention of competing and is no longer a threat to them. The ensuing discussion became more heated, because the subjects were concentrated on Peng Yimin and Dai Wei, and everyone's speeches became more interesting and full of official wisdom.At this time, no one wanted to offend these two people, but they also wanted to clearly express who they supported, so their words were like playing Tai Chi push hands.When the name of this person is mentioned, the name of that person must be mentioned next.Some people even deliberately digressed, chatting all over the place, and the Standing Committee stayed open until dark. An Ruoshan was even more tactful when he attended the Standing Committee. After talking one, two, three, four, one by one, he yawned one after another.Zhang Bozhong was so drunk that he couldn't help lowering his head and dozing off. Everyone said, this is the end of today's discussion.The secretary makes a summary, how do you sum up, and how do we support it. Dong Wei smiled and said, the meeting went well, everyone spoke freely and fully expressed their opinions.We only have the right to make suggestions for those who temporarily preside over the work of the county government, and the municipal party committee and the municipal government have to make final decisions.Comrade Chen Mo is very modest. When I asked for his opinion a few days ago, what he said was consistent with what he expressed today.Therefore, today's meeting mainly focused on Deputy Secretary Yimin and Deputy County Magistrate Dai Wei.Both Comrade Yimin and Comrade Dai Wei are very strong politically, and each has its own merits in terms of ability.Over the years, they have contributed to the economic and social development of our county.I am the squad leader in the county party committee, and I feel that everyone has always supported me a lot and cooperated very well.I also agree with these two comrades.What I mean is that we report both comrades as targets, and the municipal party committee and the municipal government decide.The organization department will conduct an investigation, and Comrades Yimin and Dai Wei are also invited to make preparations here. The meeting has been going on for a day, and everyone is a little annoyed, wishing it could end sooner.So they unanimously agreed with Dong Wei's opinion, and put Peng Yimin and Dai Wei together to make suggestions to the municipal party committee, and the meeting broke up.The moment he walked out of the meeting room of the Standing Committee, Chen Mo felt that there would be a thrilling game between Peng Yimin and Dai Wei.Peng and Dai will no longer regard him as an opponent.Chen Mo couldn't help but think of the "Poetry on Transplanting Seedlings" written by the eminent monk Bu Dai of the Tang Dynasty. He planted green seedlings all over the field, and when he bowed his head, he could see the sky in the water.
