Chapter 17 Chapter Sixteen

The position of the county finance director has been suspended for a long time, but someone finally took it recently. He is the former traffic director Li Jifa.The director of the traffic bureau was originally a golden chair, and dozens of bureau-level cadres turned around in a big circle like grinding a mill.Sure enough, the bet made by Xiong Xiong and Li Jiyun was fulfilled, and dozens of cadres were revitalized.No matter how clever the official tactics are, the folks will say otherwise.Some people settled accounts in private, saying that this time the cadres were adjusted, which leaders made a fortune.I heard that some people also wrote letters to report, and what they said had their own nose and eyes, but in the end it was just a rumor.

Once at the Meiyuan Hotel, Li Jiyun met Li Jifa, and the two brothers stood and said a few words without shaking hands.Li Jifa said: "Yuntuo, some people outside say that I am the director of the Finance Bureau because I have a brother who is a member of the Standing Committee." Li Jiyun heard the frivolity in these words, smiled and said: "Brother Fa, you can tell others that Li Jiyun is the most useless among the standing committee members, how can I help you!" Li Jifa looked very serious, and said: "Brother, if outsiders say so, let others say so! The more you make people see you as incompetent, the less people will pay attention to you!"

Li Jiyun said: "Thank you, Brother Fa, for your advice. If I have no skills, I just have no skills." Li Jiyun's words were not very polite, and Li Jifa was not angry, but said something else: "Liu Daliang is spreading rumors outside, have you heard?" "I don't know." Li Jiyun had heard about it a long time ago, but deliberately pretended to be confused. "Is it true that the finance director can buy it with money? Liu Daliang is slandering the leaders of the county party committee!" Li Ji said angrily, regardless of whether Li Jiyun liked it or not.Liu Daliang is the executive deputy director of the Finance Bureau, once the legendary director of the Finance Bureau.I heard that he gave Liu Xingming 100,000 yuan, but the director of the finance bureau became Li Jifa.The Standing Committee has just studied it, and the outside world knows the news.That night, Liu Daliang went to Liu Xingming's house.He didn't say anything, just sat in his house and chatted.Liu Xingming went out beforehand, but Liu Daliang still sat still.Liu Xingming's wife had no choice but to accompany him in the conversation and kept adding tea to him.After a long time, Liu Xingming's wife suddenly remembered and said, "I'm sorry I almost forgot. Your work was not done, and Lao Liu asked me to refund it to you." After she finished speaking, she went into the house and took out a paper bag.Liu Daliang went home and ordered, and found that the paper bag contained 150,000 yuan.He said outside that this business was successful, and he made an easy 50,000 yuan!

Li Jiyun listened patiently, and said with a smile: "Lao Liu is not so stupid, is he? If there is such a thing, he dare not go out and say it!" This story was circulated in Wuyou's official circles, and soon everyone knew it.Every time a story is circulated, there will be new comments.If you receive money, you have to do things, and if you don’t do things, you will get your money back.There is a way to steal, let alone officials?Honesty should be like Liu Xingming, toughness should be like Liu Daliang.Someone imitated the entertainment industry and called them a bright combination.The name of the bright combination came out, and soon a jingle was derived: Wuyou officialdom is bright!

Even if they believed this story to be true, they knew that Liu Xingming's wife had refunded the money by mistake, but they still said that Secretary Liu was really kind enough to bear high compensation if things were not done.Some people actually said that Liu Daliang was not very kind, and that he should return the extra money, let alone talk nonsense outside. Li Jiyun was dubious, and the story might have been made up by others.Hearing what Li Jifa meant, he just wanted to get Liu Daliang out.Liu Daliang has been the second in command of the Finance Bureau for many years, and Li Jifa may be worried that he will not be able to suppress him.I don't know if Liu Xingming has heard of this story.The protagonist of the story is often the last person to hear the story.

One morning, when Li Jiyun went to the office and sat down, Liu Xingming came in with two bottles of Moutai.Li Jiyun stood up quickly, wondering why Liu Xingming brought me wine?Before he could be polite, Liu Xingming put the wine on the table, handed over an envelope, and said, "Ji Yun, you can deal with this matter." Liu Xingming had just shaved, and his cheeks were green and shiny.Li Jiyun didn't know what was going on, but Liu Xingming had already left.He opened the envelope, and inside was an open letter from Liu Xingming to party members and cadres throughout the county, calling for the continued study of the group portraits of heroes represented by Wu Jianjun, and firmly establishing a good style of honesty, honesty, truth-seeking and pragmatism.Liu Daliang was named in the letter, saying that he had sent two bottles of Moutai to run for the official position.Liu Xingming commented in the open letter: Please quickly publish this letter in the "County Party Committee Work Bulletin".

Li Jiyun read the letter three times, thinking that this letter could not be published.He wanted to persuade Liu Xingming, but was worried that Liu Xingming would get angry.After thinking about it for half a day, he still went to Liu Xingming's office and said, "Secretary Liu, I suggest returning the wine to Liu Daliang, or handing it over to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. But the open letter is sent out for fear of adverse effects." Unexpectedly, Liu Xingming didn't get angry, but actually laughed and asked, "Tell me about Ji Yun, are you afraid of any adverse effects?"

Li Jiyun couldn't speak too clearly, he just said vaguely: "I think sending out this letter will cause all kinds of discussions in the society, which is always bad." Liu Xingming handed Li Jiyun a cigarette, lit it himself, took a deep puff, and said: "Comrade Jiyun, your worry represents a tendency, that is, the basic evaluation of the cadre team is too negative. This tendency It is believed that most of the cadres are corrupt and dishonest; this tendency also believes that there must be money transactions in the promotion and appointment of cadres; this tendency especially believes that the corruption of cadres has reached an irreversible point. So, you I'm afraid that if I send out this letter, it will cause a discussion that there is no money in this place."

Li Jiyun admired Liu Xingming's language skills, but felt that this great man's language style was outdated.Li Jiyun still wanted to clarify his point of view, and said: "Secretary Liu, please listen to my explanation." "Listen to what I have to say." Liu Xingming waved his big hand, stood up and paced, with a cigarette in one hand and one hand on his waist, "I found a very strange phenomenon, that is, some of our comrades, in the face of bad I don’t dare to be righteous, and I don’t dare to be righteous when I advocate good fashion. I always believe that no matter how the society develops and changes, some basic values ​​and concepts will not change. Therefore, we must stick to what we think is correct!”

Li Jiyun heard this high-level discussion, and saw that he was pacing with his hips on his hips again, so he didn't want to say more, and just said: "Okay, we will handle it according to Secretary Liu's opinion." Liu Xingming checked the time and said, "Please inform me that there will be a Standing Committee meeting at half past nine." Li Jiyun asked: "What issue?" Liu Xingming said: "Let's talk about the interim motion, and we'll talk about it at the meeting." Li Jiyun discussed with Yu Xianfeng in the past, and arranged the preparation of the briefing and the distribution of the notice.Yu Xianfeng also asked the Standing Committee what to study, and Li Jiyun said, "I don't know either. I'll call the county magistrate Ming myself. Director Yu, please tell the relevant personnel that the content of this "County Party Committee Work Bulletin" will be kept secret before it is issued." .”

Yu Xianfeng was a little surprised by Li Jiyun's face, he hadn't read Liu Xingming's open letter carefully.Li Jiyun returned to his office and called Ming Yang.Sure enough, Mingyang complained, saying: "What's the big deal, can't he talk to me first?" Li Jiyun could only tell the truth and say a few words to turn off the fire.He guessed that the topic must be related to Liu Daliang's matter, but he couldn't say it out.He had just finished calling Mingyang when Zhu Zhi called and asked, "Director Li, your county party committee office notified the Standing Committee, but didn't tell the research what's going on. What's going on?" Li Jiyun said: "We are notifying Secretary Liu in the original words." Zhu Zhi said, "Really? I feel more and more abnormal." "Don't talk too much!" Li Jiyun said softly, "When you come to the meeting, no matter what you study, just don't express your opinion." Zhu Zhi stopped talking, but sighed a few times.Li Jiyun didn't finish answering the call when the phone rang.Seeing that it was Liu Daliang's number, he felt like he had done something wrong, and his chest was pounding.He hesitated a little, but still answered the phone.Liu Daliang's voice was very high: "Director Li, I heard that you just issued the "County Party Committee Work Bulletin"?" Li Jiyun deliberately pretended to be confused: "Why does Director Liu care about the "County Party Committee Work Bulletin"?" Liu Daliang said: "Director Li, please don't laugh, I'm not joking with you. If your brother comes to be the director, it won't bother him if I become the deputy director?" Li Jiyun also became angry when he heard this, and said: "Director Liu, why are you so angry? Li Jifa's appointment as the Finance Director was decided by the county party committee, not because he is my cousin!" Liu Daliang's tone softened, but his words became even harsher: "Li Jiyun, you will not end well if you are Liu Xingming's lackey!" Li Jiyun hung up the phone, so angry that he wanted to smash the table.His name was Tai Xianfeng, and he said sharply: "You ask the telecommunications department to check the phone number, who will inform Liu Daliang!" Yu Xianfeng said: "Director Li, does our county party committee have this power? Check the phone records, it seems that there should be legal procedures, and you have to go through the public security department!" "Don't talk to me about the law at this time!" Li Jiyun shouted. Liu Xingming's office was a few rooms away, so he came out to ask what was going on when he heard the noise.Li Jiyun didn't speak immediately, but said to Xianfeng: "You should first ask the telecommunications department, what procedures are required, and what procedures are required! Anyway, check it out for me!" Li Jiyun watched Yu Xianfeng go away, and then said: "It's shameful, I told you to keep it secret first, and someone tipped off Liu Daliang." Li Jiyun only gave a rough outline, and did not elaborate on what Liu Daliang said.Although he was angry with Liu Daliang's bastard, he didn't want to add insult to injury.Liu Xingming didn't care about this matter, anyway, leaking the secret wouldn't embarrass him.He looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time, let's go to the conference room." Not long after, all members of the Standing Committee arrived.Liu Xingming said: "An emergency meeting of the Standing Committee was held to study only one matter. Not long ago, the cadres were adjusted, and the appointment of each cadre was decided by the Standing Committee collectively. However, some people spread rumors outside, saying that ministries, committees, and offices , Bureau leadership positions are all sold for real money. At the meeting, I only had one vote, and the comrades each had a vote. Whether I am innocent can be investigated by the organization. I would like to ask comrades, how much did you charge? What did you say that Liu Daliang gave me 100,000 yuan to be the director of the finance bureau, but he didn’t become the director and ran to my house to ask for the money back. My wife got confused and refunded him 150,000 yuan. What a wonderful plot of the novel! To tell the truth to my comrades today, I can’t refuse and accept people who give me cigarettes and wine. Comrades all understand that this is a bad habit, but no one can change this situation. Today, I want to make a little limelight To change this bad habit. I returned the two bottles of Moutai that Liu Daliang gave me. He gave me two bottles of Moutai. He proposed that if he wanted to become the Finance Bureau, his purpose was to buy an official. I wrote a letter to The open letter of the party members and cadres in the county named Liu Daliang. Today, the comrades were called for a short meeting to form an opinion on how to deal with it. I propose that Comrade Liu Daliang be dismissed on the spot!" Li Jiyun had known it for a long time, and was not surprised at all.He also didn't want to listen carefully, so he sent a text message to Yu Xianfeng: There is no need to track down the phone number, but next time he will seriously criticize this practice at the meeting and reiterate the discipline of confidentiality. Yu Xianfeng wrote back: According to Director Li's opinion. Li Jiyun didn't want to know who leaked the secret.It is not a major secret, and no one can be punished for this.At most, you can only see who is trying to please you, so what's the point? After Liu Xingming finished talking, no one spoke.According to the routine, Ming Yang expresses his opinion, so that other people can talk easily.But Ming Yang didn't say anything for a long time, but just drank tea slowly.Liu Xingming then said: "Everyone express your opinion. Comrade Mingyang, would you like to talk first?" Yangming only said one sentence: "I agree with Secretary Liu." The other members of the Standing Committee had no objection either, saying they agreed with Secretary Liu.The meeting broke up after only thirty minutes.They didn't talk much to each other, as if they were after a memorial service.At this time, Liu Daliang came suddenly and shouted loudly: "Secretary Liu, I want to report to you." Liu Xingming was walking towards the office, turned around and said, "I don't have time to listen to your report!" "I want you to give me an explanation!" Liu Daliang shouted. Ming Yang had already gone downstairs, but when he heard the commotion from above, he couldn't help but came up and shouted: "Liu Daliang, do you look unreasonable?" Ming Yang's voice was rough, and it made the corridor buzz.Liu Daliang was stunned, glanced at Mingyang, bowed his head and went downstairs.Liu Daliang was so docile to Mingyang, Liu Xingming's expression was extremely ugly when he saw it.Li Jiyun caught sight of Liu Xingming's expression, and entered his office as if nothing had happened. Zhu Zhi was right, it was too abnormal.Ming Yang is straightforward, so he should speak logically.He became silent, and Liu Xingming became a loner.Ming Yang has said many times that he is very busy with work and has no time to argue.Today Li Jiyun wanted to persuade Liu Xingming not to make this matter bigger.But when he saw Liu Xingming holding a cigarette in one hand and pacing with one hand on his hip, talking freely, he didn't want to say more.Liu Xingming's language style at that time was too similar to the editorials from more than 30 years ago.His bearing and demeanor are also acting like a great man. Today, the county committee was very efficient in handling affairs, and the documents on punishing Liu Daliang and the "County Party Committee Work Bulletin" were quickly printed out.Li Jiyun estimated that Liu Daliang would still make trouble, but there was no more movement.He thought to himself that Liu Daliang really didn't know what's good and what's wrong, why did he come after me without thinking?At first I thought of helping him!Li Jiyun just thought about it, and didn't intend to explain it to Liu Daliang.The atmosphere in the officialdom has changed somewhat in recent years, and some cadres are not afraid of stalemate with the leaders.They expect that whether you are a secretary or a county magistrate, you will not be able to work for a few years.If the relationship between them and you is good, it will be convenient for each other, and if it is not good, you will not be afraid.After a few years, a new leader will come, and if we build a good relationship, we will be able to gain power.
