Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty Eight

After the meeting, Dong Wei and Peng Yimin invited Chen Mo to go to the hotel to visit Long Xiaoyi and Hu Jianshe.Long Yun said that the two leaders were very tired and had gone to bed, so he left a message telling the county leaders not to visit the hotel.The three of them were a little disappointed. Peng Yimin said he had something to do and left first.Dong Wei asked Chen Mo, Minister Chen, where is your car? Chen Mo said with a smile, the car is only used by the Ministry, and I am only a few steps away.Dong Wei laughed and said, I'd better use my car to see you off.Chen Mo couldn't refuse, saying, that's fine, let's go together.

After getting into the car, Dong Wei suddenly said, "Minister Chen, you will stay in the empty room alone when you go home. Why don't we find a place to sit and have a cup of tea?" Chen Mo was taken aback. I don't know why Dong Wei suddenly wanted to Drink tea with yourself.So I said, it’s okay, I’m going to sleep when I go home, it’s better to relax for a while.Dong Wei's driver listened, turned the steering wheel and found a teahouse nearby, and parked the car. For two people, a small box is required.Dong Wei replied with a smile.The waiter led them to a small box, but the driver didn't follow, and just sat and waited in the lobby.Chen Mo ordered green tea for Dong Wei, oolong tea for himself, and ordered two packs of Furongwang cigarettes, and the two of them began to puff and smoke in the private room.Dong Wei didn't speak, and Chen Mo didn't know what to say, so the two could only smoke at each other.After a while, Dong Wei spoke up.

Minister Chen, you may also be able to tell that my time in Longshui is running out.Dong Wei said sadly that the sulfuric acid workshop of Guangyuan Company exploded and the Wulong River was polluted. As the secretary of the county party committee, I have to take leadership responsibility. Chen Mo didn't realize that Dong Wei came straight to the point, thought for a while, and said, I just think you are not in good spirits these days, Secretary Dong, I really didn't expect you to leave Longshui.Don't think too much, the higher-level organization may not have this idea. Dong Wei smiled and said, it's not that I think too much, but it's inevitable.The reason why it has not been moved is because the county magistrate at the county government is still lacking. If the county party secretary is moved, the cadres will not be able to stabilize their thinking and work will be interrupted.Once things are on track, it's time for me to go.

Chen Mo couldn't say anything more, comfort seemed a bit inappropriate, so he fell silent.Dong Wei sighed softly, and said that after more than 20 years in Longshui, he was really reluctant to leave. Don't be too sentimental, Secretary Dong.Chen Mo said that the matter is not yet clear, maybe the municipal committee has considered that Longshui County cannot do without you. That's wrong, Chen Mo, in fact, whether Longshui County, China, or the world, anyone can leave.Dong Wei said with a self-deprecating smile.The place Longshui created me.I didn't do a good job, and I really failed the hundreds of thousands of people in Longshui.

Secretary Dong, your self-discipline is too strict. You have worked for Longshui for so many years, and the people will thank you.Chen Mo said, and asked again, is the destination clear? Which department in the city? It has not been decided yet, but it is definitely going to go. As for the department and the seat, it is being fought for.Do your best and obey the destiny.Dong Wei said with a wry smile.I dare not think about a good seat. At this age, to be honest, I am less aggressive. Life is actually very short, the more things you can put down, the more you can enjoy life.Chen Mo said.Advancing and retreating in an official career is certainly a kind of life, but the officialdom will also hinder a person's freedom after all, the so-called official body is not free.Speaking of it, I have experienced great joy and sorrow, great ups and downs in my official career, and I really have feelings.But really let go, we are still far away.The ancients said that if you pass the test of fame and fortune, it is only a small rest; if you pass the pass of life and death, you can take a big rest.

Dong Wei laughed and said, Chen Mo, you are really getting more and more indifferent now, and your words have a mysterious taste. I can't understand the big breaks and small breaks.It's just that, since things are like this, they can only live with the situation. The two chatted for a while, and Dong Wei suddenly said, Chen Mo, how do you feel about this Standing Committee today? Chen Mo was taken aback, and said, Secretary Dong, I am rather dull, and I really don't have any special feelings. Dong Wei laughed and said, it's better to be slow.As the saying goes, there is nothing wrong in the world, only mediocrity disturbs it.It's not good for a person to be too sensitive.It's just that you can't be too slow, slowness is not a good thing after all.

Chen Mo said with a smile, I also know that being slow is not a good thing.My dullness may be because I have not long entered the political arena.Some sensitivities come with experience. Dong Wei didn't have the heart to discuss the reason of slowness and sensitivity with Chen Mo, and said, don't you think Comrade Yimin's behavior today is a bit abnormal? Chen Mo said, I really didn't feel this.I don't have much contact with Yimin.This time, the higher authorities asked him to temporarily preside over the work of the county government, so it was a matter of course. Dong Wei laughed and said, Comrade Yimin's abilities are pretty good.However, his heart was too deep, no one dared to work with him, Lin Zhifeng had an accident.Of course, the main reason is that he himself did not live up to expectations, but Yimin was also hit by a stone.In the past, I heard that there are also materials about you...

Chen Mo laughed and said, I don't care.The office also gave me a copy of that material, all of which were unfounded. Dong Wei said with all his heart, you and Yimin may have a good personal relationship.But at that time, there were only a few competitors, and political competition often used everything to the extreme. Chen Mo said, speaking of it this way, it was really scary.Fortunately, I have no intention of competing.Even if it is a competition, they don't bother to play these small tricks, and the victory is invincible. When Dong Wei saw what Chen Mo said, he smiled and said, "Everyone knows something about what a person is like."He only looks at one point and ignores the rest, and he ignores the means for the purpose.When he ran for deputy county magistrate, he hurt people.The other candidates were just about to be slapped by the Disciplinary Committee. Of course, those people also have shit in their asses, otherwise they would not succeed.Since then, everyone has respected Yimin a little.

Chen Mo laughed and said that power is a double-edged sword. While hurting the opponent, it will also hurt himself.The so-called treating others in the same way is philosophical, and I don't know what Yimin thinks, but they like to use these extreme methods. Dong Wei smiled and said that Yimin presided over the work of the county government temporarily. To be honest, I don't know if he can maintain the continuity of the work of the previous government.After all, the achievements of Longshui County's work over the years were not achieved overnight.Today's leaders like to be new and different. Each leader has a set of ideas, and each leader has a focus...

Chen Mo finally understood.Dong Wei called him to this teahouse to drink tea, and talked for a long time around mountains and rivers, the crux of the problem turned out to be the word continuity.In fact, it is the norm in official circles that people leave tea to cool off. Every outgoing leader should not expect his policies to be continued by the next leader. Dong Wei is a person who understands this. He will not fail to understand this and emphasize the continuation of work. sex.And the three words of continuity are too rich in connotation.Chen Mo felt that Dong Wei's emphasis on the continuity of work here was actually one core, for fear that after he left, Peng Yimin would turn over his old account, make himself unable to step down, and affect his safe landing.Chen Mo went on to think, maybe Peng Yimin had already grasped something about Dong Wei, which made Dong Wei worried before leaving office.

At present, Chen Mo thought for a long time, and said, this problem may exist.If what you just said is true, it is difficult to expect Yimin to maintain the continuity of his work.However, as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, I will try my best to maintain the continuity of my work. Dong Wei smiled and said, of course I trust you.That's what I meant when I recommended you to preside over the work of the county government.But you are too modest, I can only report Peng Yimin and Dai Wei together, but the city committee chose Peng Yimin.Chen Mo, I feel that the failure of Youxian County may have hit you too hard, so that you have some fear of officialdom, or avoid it.After I left, I don't know who will take up the post of secretary of the county party committee. I guess the possibility of coming down from the city is relatively high.Then, according to your arrangement, only the deputy secretary of the county party committee will go.I'm not asking for favors in front of you, I strongly recommend you to the municipal party committee, I hope you can lead the cadres and masses of Longshui County to make contributions. Chen Mo thanked him sincerely and said, Secretary Dong, I know you have always been very kind to me.I didn't agree to preside over the government work temporarily. I had my own considerations, and it wasn't all due to the failure of You County.Even in terms of seniority, it should be Peng Yimin's turn first.If I came up suddenly, how to get along with Yimin would be a difficult thing for me.Besides, there is Dai Wei.Deputy county magistrate Dai, I have also observed carefully, he is a capable person.He looks simple and honest on the outside, but he is actually very handsome on the inside, and he understands it in his heart.I don't know, why didn't you suggest him as the first choice? Dong Wei said with a smile, your observation is very careful.Indeed, Dai Wei is an introverted person, and has always been relatively introverted.He has always worked with me.Of course, Dai Wei also has his shortcomings, so I won't talk about this. Chen Mo has figured out what Dong Wei thinks.Dong Wei just wanted him to restrain Peng Yimin in his future work to ensure the so-called continuity.Chen Mo seemed to understand a lot through the Standing Committee of the county party committee tonight. Politics is all about balancing.When the situation is not stable, he is already almost a pivotal figure, and he has become the person Dong Wei, Peng Yimin and Dai Wei have co-wooed.And these people also gave him some rewards, such as Dong Wei's statement, Peng Yimin's convenience for him in personnel matters, and Dai Wei's financial support for him.Reciprocating peaches and rewards is an official transaction, although it is naked, it is very fair. A few days later, Chen Mo received a call from He Nianshou, saying, Minister Chen, please pay attention to watch the comprehensive channel of Provincial Satellite TV at eight o'clock tonight.When Chen Mo asked what was going on, He Nianshou smiled and refused to tell him, but when he said it, he would know by watching it.With the help of He Nian Shou and others, Longshui County's reports have recently reversed the one-sided pattern of the Wulong River pollution incident and become more active.The continuous reports on the rescue of the martyrs caused tears and rain to fly across the province, setting off an upsurge of fundraising for the families of the martyrs.Minister Fang of the Propaganda Department of the Chuxi Municipal Party Committee called and praised Longshui County for being a model and very successful in guiding public opinion.He Nianshou's call this time must have been reported again.At eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Mo turned on the TV, which happened to be the time of the provincial news broadcast.At the beginning of the news broadcast, it was nothing more than some leadership inspections and meeting reports.China's TV news, from CCTV to county-level cable stations, all have the same model, and it starts with endless meetings and leadership activities.As the Minister of Propaganda, Chen Mo himself is tired of this kind of news, and he doesn't even pay much attention to the CCTV news broadcast.After the long conference news and leadership activities, Chen Mo even fell asleep a little bit.At this moment, the camera switches.The beautiful female announcer said in a provocative voice that tears are a special way for people to vent their emotions.As the saying goes, a man doesn't flick his tears lightly, just because he hasn't reached the place where he is sad.Recently, at the rescue site of the Denglongping landslide in Longshui County, the reporter witnessed the touching tears of Comrade Chen Mo, member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Director of Propaganda, and commander of the emergency rescue site... Chen Mo, Long Xiaoyi, Hu Jianshe and others appeared in the camera. The scene of remembering the martyrs at the rescue site.Close-up, Chen Mo couldn't hold back his tears.Long Xiaoyi and Chen Mo shook hands tightly, weeping at each other... The announcer's sentimental voice continued, these were tears of infinite remembrance for the martyrs, these were tears of love for the people, these tears contained the leading cadres of our party The infinite true feelings for the people contain great love in the world... Chen Mo's face suddenly became hot.This report must have been broadcast many times on the county cable TV station and the city station. I have never turned on the TV, so I didn't see it.Unexpectedly, the provincial TV station also broadcast it.Chen Mo didn't even dare to look at the picture on the TV again. From the professional point of view of journalism, the angle of this piece of news is indeed very good, reflecting the reporter's high news sensitivity and ability to accurately grasp fleeting news.However, perhaps the reporter never thought at all that in Chen Mo's tears, besides the apology to Rainbow and other dead people, there was more of a kind of shame, a kind of repentance. Chen Mo turned off the TV, closed his eyes, and felt mixed feelings in his heart.He knew that at this time, there might be tens of thousands or even millions of people silently crying in front of the TV, for his tears.As the protagonist, he is so clear-headed that he is not noble.At this moment, Chen Mo knew so deeply that waking up is a painful thing.Sometimes, being awake is not even as good as being muddled. Hou Jun took up the post of Party Secretary of Wuchao Town, and Nie Gang succeeded him as Secretary of the Township Party Committee.After organizing the conversation, Chen Mo received a text message from Hou Jun, which he will never forget.Chen Mo smiled and deleted it casually.Chen Mo found that Ren Da, the head of the committee's family, started to come to the door diligently again, with the same smiling face, as if he had never left.Chen Mo didn't point out him, let him go, people like Ren Da cannot be offended.The so-called villain is difficult to raise, you can only buy peace, and you can't offend a little.Offended, this kind of person can do anything.They are shameless, let alone trustworthy.At the same time, the leaders of the various county bureaus came to visit more. Although Chen Mo was overwhelmed, he had to cheer up to deal with it. More work in the department was left to Long Yongshou and Luo Lan. The overall relocation project of Denglongping has officially entered the implementation stage, and the bidding is proceeding smoothly.To Chen Mo's surprise, one day after the bidding meeting, he met his brother Chen Liang in his dormitory.Chen Liang's company actually won the bid.Chen Liang did it very secretly, he didn't let Chen Mo know about his participation in the bidding at all.Chen Liang said that his participation in the bidding this time was very formal and there was no illegal operation.However, Chen Mo still knew that without him, it would be impossible for Chen Liang's company to win the bid no matter what.Peng Yimin let himself bear a heavy debt of favor. The night they met Chen Liang, the two brothers had a long conversation.Chen Mo said, Chen Liang, since you have won the bid, I won't say anything.Still the same sentence, do things with conscience.The relocation project is related to the vital interests of the common people, so you must guarantee the quality.As long as there is a little sloppy, I will not agree.I originally thought that we two brothers are developing in one aspect, but you just want to follow me. In the future, there will inevitably be some gossip.Chen Liang didn't care, and said with a smile, brother, don't worry, the quality is guaranteed.I still want to play the brand, I will not smash the brand by myself.You won the bid this time, you didn't even know that I came to participate in the bidding, we didn't operate in the dark.If you don't have a cold in your heart, don't be afraid to eat watermelon. I won't hurt you.We two brothers have worked so hard until today is not easy, how could I not cherish it? After hearing this, Chen Mo calmed down a little.Regardless of the inside story of Chen Liang's acquisition of this project, as long as the quality is guaranteed, generally speaking, there will be no problems.However, this is only a general situation. Chen Mo felt more and more the changes in Chen Liang. Chen Liang's business grew bigger and bigger, he became more and more confident, and his personality became stronger and stronger.Chen Mo couldn't help but think, it's time for Chen Liang to find a wife.With a wife and children, Chen Liang will have some scruples and will not be too inflated.At that moment, Chen Mo smiled and said, Chen Liang, are our parents okay? Chen Liang said, everything is okay.After Mom took the medicine now, the bronchitis is less.I bought a house in the county seat and asked them to guard it.But they refused to go to the city, saying that they were comfortable in the countryside, and there was really nothing they could do.Chen Mo just laughed and said, father and mother have lived in the countryside all their lives, and if you call them into the city, who will accompany them to talk? When you go shopping in the street, you don't even know any familiar faces.You have to consider finding a woman too.Parents are getting older and need someone to take care of them.Besides, I'm also looking forward to seeing you get married. Chen Liang didn't take it seriously, and said, Dad and the others already have a grandson, isn't Chen Geng their grandson? Chen Mo laughed angrily.Chen Liang pretended to be confused on purpose, but there was nothing he could do about it.Chen Mo said, Chen Liang, personal issues should be considered, you are also a person who is old and young, don't let the elderly worry.Besides, if you are doing business now, you also need a helper.As the saying goes, if men support women, it is better to have a person in charge at home.Do you have a date? Chen Liang said, brother, I won't make two million, so I'm not going to talk about a partner. Chen Mo laughed.Chen Liang's appearance is completely like a man who is not rich, so why should he be at home.While talking, the waiter Luo Jing knocked on the door with a vacuum flask and came in. Seeing someone in Chen Mo's room, she couldn't help but blush.Said, the minister has a guest.Chen Mo replied with a smile, it's my brother.Luo Jing nodded to Chen Liang, filled their teacups with water, and left.Chen Liang's eyes straightened a little.Chen Mo couldn't help laughing, Chen Liang is already twenty-six or seven years old, there is no one who doesn't expect women. Chen Liang withdrew his gaze, and seeing Chen Mo looking at him with a smile, couldn't help but blush.He said with a smile, this woman looks very interesting, like a movie star. Chen Mo laughed and said, fell in love with her? Chen Liang quickly denied it, saying, no. Chen Mo didn't care what Chen Liang thought, so he introduced Luo Jing's situation.Said that the girl's surname is Luo, her name is Luo Jing, and she is a waiter in the guest house.Their director asked her to tidy up my room specially, which also means flattering.But this girl is really nice. What are you talking about, bro.Chen Liang's face turned even redder. The next day, Peng Yimin called Chen Mo and asked him to go to his office.After Chen Mo put down the phone, he immediately got up and went downstairs. When he reached the third floor, he knocked on the door of Peng Yimin's office and didn't open it for a while.It happened that a deputy director of the county party committee came over and saw Chen Mo knocking on Peng Yimin's door. He said with a smile, Minister Chen, Secretary Peng went to work at the county government today.Chen Mo was taken aback for a moment, but couldn't help laughing.This Peng Yimin was a little too anxious. In fact, he could work at the county party committee.The county government can come and report anything. When Chen Mo arrived at the county government, he saw that the people in the government office were busy in a hurry, some moved computers, some moved tables and chairs, as busy as a war.As soon as Chen Mo went there, Lin Dahai, the director of the county government office, came out of there. Chen Mo grabbed him and said, Director Lin, why are you going in and out, like a war? Lin Dahai quickly shook hands and said, "It's Minister Chen, why are you here?" Chen Mo said, you haven't answered my question yet. Lin Dahai laughed secretly, and said in a low voice that Secretary Peng thought Lin Zhifeng's office had bad feng shui, which was bad luck.But there is no other room to adjust.I had to repaint the house and replace all the desks, chairs and computers, so I was busy. Chen Mo just laughed, shook hands with Lin Dahai and left.It is easy to offend people when talking about these trivial matters, so Chen Mo just laughed it off, and became even more disapproving of Peng Yimin in his heart.Superstition is very prevalent in official circles. When selecting a site for a county government in some places, they secretly ask a Feng Shui master to show them and set up a compass.Even when laying the foundation, some incense paper was burned to offer sacrifices to ghosts and gods.Instead of thinking about how to do a good job, some officials put Fengshui first, thinking that Fengshui can determine a person's official career.Officials being scammed by Feng Shui masters has become common news. The office has not yet been completed, and Peng Yimin temporarily works in the party member activity room run by the government.When Chen Mo entered, Peng Yimin was talking to Huang Anyu, director of the County Construction Bureau.Seeing Chen Mo coming in, Huang Anyu stood up and said with a smile, Minister Chen is here, let me pour you a glass of water.Peng Yimin said with a smile that the office has not been finished yet, so I have to do it in the party member activity room first.Chen Mo said that the party room is nice and spacious. Peng Yimin said that the relocation project for the victims of Denglongping is about to start. Director Huang and I talked about it, and the plans of the County Construction Planning and Design Office may need to be slightly revised.I would like to invite you to be the project director, what do you think? Chen Mo smiled and understood what Peng Yimin meant.Since Peng Yimin gave the project to Chen Liang, he was afraid that he would not know that it was his help, so he sent a favor to the end, and simply gave the commander as a gift.His brother can't help but be grateful to Dade.Chen Mo smiled and said, thank you Secretary Peng for your trust. I think it is more appropriate for the deputy county magistrate in charge of urban construction of the county government to be the commander.Urban construction and overall relocation are, after all, the work of the government.The Propaganda Department is at the head of the party committee. I am the commander of this, just because I am afraid that it will cause others to discuss it. Peng Yimin laughed and said, I have already discussed this matter with Deputy County Magistrate Ma.He is in charge of urban construction and industrial transportation. Recently, there are many things related to industrial transportation.Taxi drivers petitioned, bus drivers went on strike, like crab eyes, one was pressed down, and the other bulged out, unable to move.Deputy county magistrate Ma is convinced that you will be the commander and welcomes you with both hands.Chen Mo still refused to accept his resignation, saying, this is a long-term plan, I really don't have the time and energy to take care of this matter.I'm doing my best to select the top ten charming counties, and it's almost the end of the year, so I really can't move away. Seeing Chen Mo's resolute refusal, Peng Yimin felt a little unhappy, and immediately said, Minister Chen, you are so humble.I preside over the work of the county government, and I am also the first person in charge of the county government.I can still settle on this.Since you have a heavy workload, let's look at it again. Chen Mo said with a smile, that's really thankful to Secretary Peng, you won't criticize me for being angry. Peng Yimin smiled and said, you are calm and peaceful. Both of them laughed.Chen Mo said with a smile, I don't dare to say anything about indifference and tranquility. From my heart, I'm actually still depressed. Peng Yimin laughed and said, how heroic you were when you were rectifying the officialdom in You County, but now you are a bachelor and you are getting more and more timid.But that's okay, it's not a bad thing to be timid. In this society, various systems are becoming more and more strict, and being an official is also a high-risk occupation. After talking for a while, Peng Yimin smiled and said, Minister Chen, Chen Liang is your younger brother, right? Chen Mo said, yes, what, do you know each other? Peng Yimin laughed and said, his company won the bid, and your brother's company is good and powerful. Chen Mo showed a stunned expression and said, Chen Liang has done a good job in the city, what is he here to fight for? He won the bid.Secretary Peng, this will not work.I am the propaganda minister here, and he comes here to engage in projects, which should be suspected. Peng Yimin laughed and said, there is no rule that prohibits him from bidding.After all, he won the bid based on his strength. You didn't participate in the bidding from the beginning to the end, so there is no need to be nervous. Chen Mo said, this is not good after all, others will gossip, has he come yet? If so, I have to tell him and let him quit. Peng Yimin said, Chen Liang didn't come to see you? Chen Mo said, no, he really came? Peng Yimin fell silent. In his opinion, Chen Mo's performance was somewhat unlikely.It is impossible for Chen Liang not to see Chen Mo.Peng Yimin was a little wary at this time.It seems that Chen Mo, who is calm and peaceful on the surface, is not a pool of shallow water, it is very deep.Seeing Peng Yimin groaning silently, Chen Mo also felt that he was pretending too much.I can't help but think that this Chen Liang has been relatively self-reliant since he was a child. When I was in the municipal committee office, he built the municipal committee dormitory building and didn't tell me.It was a long time after winning the bid that I didn't know until the engineering team entered the field. At this time, the director of construction interjected and said, Boss Chen is really nice.I also asked him yesterday why he didn't go to Minister Chen, and he said that we are two-way people, the official is the official and the businessman is the businessman.When I went to him, it seemed that my bidding was irregular. Peng Yimin's expression softened.Chen Mo couldn't help thinking, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the saying that too much talk is bound to fail.Sometimes pretending is worse than telling the truth.You really can't lie to your leaders.
