Chapter 25 Chapter Twenty-Four

Tian Jiayong went to Lizhou for research and arrived in Wuyou County this afternoon.Another expressway will pass through Wuyou, and Tian Jiayong's research is in the preliminary stage for the "Gongke Report". "Gongke research" was originally a matter for experts, and Tian Jiayong walked around with several directors, which seemed more or less official.No one dared to break through this meaning, the deputy director was stronger than any expert after all.Lizhou people are most concerned about Tian Jiayong's situation. I heard that his importance in the Department of Communications cannot be underestimated, and he is likely to take over as the head of the Department.It turns out that Director Wang, the head of the Transportation Department, is in poor health and has been living in the hospital for the past two years.I have to admire Tian Jiayong for being so powerful, he conquered his opponents in less than a year.Lizhou people's so-called concern for Tian Jiayong, some hope that his official will become better and better, and some are waiting to see a joke.

Tian Jiayong's visit to the relevant counties in Lizhou is somewhat of a show of authority.The leaders of the municipal party committee and the municipal government received the highest standard, no less than receiving a vice governor.He brought people to build the highway, and what he invested was real money.The specific requirements of the city can be raised as much as possible.After all, Tian Jiayong is from here, so he can do more good things.When he came to Wuyou, the relationship became closer.Wuyou is his real hometown, as he often likes to say, this is where he lost his birth clothes.

Deputy Director Tian arrived at Wuyou after four o'clock in the afternoon. He washed and rested before having dinner.The report meeting is scheduled for the next morning.Xiong Xiong asked Tian Jiayong for instructions: "Deputy Director Tian, ​​you are the old leader of Wuyou, and you know everyone in the team. Who do you think you need to accompany?" Tian Jiayong said: "According to me, everything is kept simple. But I am also happy to see a few more people. All the members of the Standing Committee, plus Comrade Fei Fei and Comrade Deman." Li Jiyun hurriedly calculated, there were twenty people from the county plus those from the province.If the atmosphere is not good with two tables, arrange a big table.The largest banquet hall in Meiyuan Hotel is called Osmanthus Hall, which can seat twenty people, but if you squeeze it, it can only seat twenty-five people at most.When VIPs like Deputy Director Tian come, there must be no more than twenty-five people.

Li Jiyun had informed the county leaders to wait in the dining room, and then accompanied Xiong Xiong and Ming Yang to accompany Deputy Director Tian in.As soon as Deputy Director Tian showed his face at the door, applause immediately rang out.Deputy Director Tian said with a smile: "It's not a meeting, why applaud?" Xiong Xiong hurriedly said: "The banquet is also a meeting, a very important meeting, and an even more important meeting." Deputy Director Tian circled around and shook hands with everyone one by one.He held Li Feifan's hand, pulled it hard a few times, and said, "Fanfei, you must be obedient!" joke.

No matter whether Li Feifan understood it or not, he could only say with a smile: "Secretary Tian has taught me a lesson, how dare you be disobedient!" Deputy Director Tian held Wu Deman's hand, but slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Deman, you are a good person, don't be a good person!" Deputy Director Tian walked to his seat and sat down, and the banquet officially began.Xiong Xiong said: "We are very happy to welcome Director Tian and the directors of the Department of Transportation. Please tell us a few words about Director Tian." Tian Jiayong raised his glass and said: "There is no other talk at the wine table, only drinking! There are more than a dozen comrades in the county. If each of you toasts me, I will have to drink more than a dozen glasses. There is no indecent relationship. Also, I will pay each other a toast, and I will have more than a dozen glasses. I am not the Deputy Secretary Tian back then."

Xiong Xiong said: "Director Tian, ​​after we have done this, you can do whatever you want. I would like to announce two things to the comrades in the county. One is that anyone who respects Director Tian should do it himself first; Must cheers." After drinking this glass of wine, they slowly began to respect each other.The scene is very lively, you come and go, cheers are endless.Zhu Zhi couldn't drink a few glasses of liquor, so Li Jiyun whispered to her to keep some. Xiong Xiong had already paid respects to Deputy Director Tian, ​​and he held his glass again and said, "Director Tian, ​​you have given great support to your hometown, and the elders in your hometown are very grateful."

Deputy Director Tian was not in a hurry to serve the cup. He looked at Xiong Xiong and said, "I can tell by the look in your eyes that you still have something to say." Xiong Xiong shook his head and smiled, with a look of admiration: "The leader is really discerning!" Deputy Director Tian asked: "If there are any requirements in the county on this road, you can just mention them." Xiong Xiong said: "I will formally report to the director tomorrow, and I won't talk about the road at the wine table right now." Deputy director Tian said with a smile: "Why don't you talk about the road with the director of the traffic department?"

Xiong Xiong said, "I want to talk about people." "Talking about people? Do you want us to send cadres to the county to take temporary posts?" Deputy Director Tian laughed again, "Xiong Xiong, you are cunning! We send cadres to the county to take temporary posts, which is equivalent to contributing energy and money !" Xiong Xiong said: "Report to Director Tian, ​​I want to send someone to your office to take up a job, get it!" Deputy Director Tian's eyes brightened immediately: "Really? If you want to go, go to the youngest one in your team!"

"Who is the youngest?" Xiong Xiong looked at everyone, "Director Li and Minister Zhu." Li Jiyun said: "Secretary Xiong, your official is older than me, and you are younger than me." Xiong Xiong said with a smile: "I'm going to take a temporary position, you will be the secretary?" Li Jiyun laughed at himself: "Everyone here will go to take up their posts, and it will not be my turn to be the secretary." Xiong Xiong looked at Li Jiyun and said, "Director Li, hurry up and toast!" Li Jiyun smiled and said: "I have passed the first round of respect, but the second round has not yet come to me. I didn't learn anything in the officialdom, I just learned who is older and who is younger."

But Xiong Xiong encouraged him vigorously, saying: "Director Tian called for you to take up a post in the hall, are you still sitting still?" Li Jiyun hurriedly stood up, raised his cup with both hands, looked at Deputy Director Tian respectfully, and said, "Thank you Director Tian for your cultivation!" Li Jiyun hadn't figured out whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, and all the colleagues at the table toasted him, congratulating him on going to work in the province.Li Jiyun's complexion was bright, no matter who toasted him, he would toast to the bottom.He looked good only because he drank wine, but he felt a little unhappy in his heart.Sending a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee to the province to take a temporary post, and not going to the street to buy a handful of side dishes, why was it not informed in advance?He didn't know if this was Xiong Xiong's improvisation, or if he had thought about it long ago.

Li Jiyun finished the wine toasted by everyone and said: "I'm not drinking for my job. I have no reason to respect Director Tian. Director Tian has been cultivating me. I drank everyone's toast with me, and it's not because The reason for the resignation is just because I am very happy today. Why am I happy? I saw that Director Tian’s drinking capacity has not diminished in the past, and his health is still very good!” Hearing this, Deputy Director Tian was naturally very helpful, and said: "Ji Yun was the secretary of the township party committee that I promoted when I was here. He was the youngest in the township team at that time. At that time, some people worried that he was too young. , I'm afraid he won't be able to grasp the situation. How did the facts prove?" Xiong Xiong said: "Director Tian knows people and makes good use of them. Jiyun is still the youngest in our county-level team!" The lively dinner was over, and Xiong Xiong led more than a dozen leaders in the county to send Deputy Director Tian back to his room to rest.A waiter had long stood at the elevator entrance, blocking the elevator door with his hand, preventing it from closing.But the door is like a naughty child, wanting to stick his head out to see the strange things, poking out from time to time.Li Jiyun really wanted to say that the waiter was really stupid, just hold down the switch.Everyone stopped to be polite, shook hands and patted shoulders, and laughed, and the elevator door was rubbed out.Deputy Director Tian said: "Everyone is tired, go back and rest." Xiong Xiong said: "We are not tired, Director, you have worked hard." Li Jiyun was dizzy, but he could still figure out Xiong Xiong's language art.Xiong Xiong only talked about the hard work of the director, not the tiredness of the director.There is a difference between these two words.Leading comrades should be full of energy, and tired words cannot be used casually on them.Although it is very hard, I don't feel tired. Leading comrades need this kind of image.Who has seen leading comrades appearing on TV news with tired faces?They are always red and full of energy.It's not that you can't say that the leader is tired, it depends on the occasion.Xiong Xiong may not have thought so carefully, but he is an old classmate after all, and he knows Xiong Xiong's cleverness.Maybe Xiong Xiong can speak very appropriately just by reacting instinctively. Deputy Director Tian said: "Listen to me, if you have something to do, go first, and if you have nothing to do, go to my room to chat! Ji Yun, you stay here." After Deputy Director Tian said this, everyone weighed it in their hearts and knew whether they should stay or not.Therefore, Xiong Xiong, Ming Yang, Li Feifan, Wu Deman and Li Jiyun stayed behind, while the others took a few steps back and bowed their hands toward the elevator entrance.When Li Jiyun was an ordinary cadre in his early years, he thought about a little humor in private: should the leading comrade be the first to enter the elevator, or should he be the last to enter the elevator?This is a problem.The leading comrade is the first to enter the elevator, so he naturally has to stand at the innermost side, and when he exits the elevator, he will be at the rearmost.The leading comrades finally get out of the elevator, how can this work?At least in Chinese officialdom, this is definitely a problem.Li Jiyun was drunk and blindfolded, smiling at Deputy Director Tian.Anyway, everyone was laughing, and no one knew who was laughing at what.Several county leaders naturally stepped aside, forming a lane, and respectfully asked Deputy Director Tian to advance the elevator.While the elevator was slowly rising, Xiong Xiong and the others slowly made a gecko shape, clinging to the three walls of the elevator.Deputy Director Tian naturally stood in the middle, and the front of him was empty.The elevator door opened slowly, and Deputy Director Tian was the first to get out of the elevator. The waiter stepped forward quickly and opened the door for Deputy Director Tian.Li Jiyun ordered: "Pour tea." The waiter said nothing, just smiled.Deputy Director Tian went to the bathroom after entering the door. The county leaders sat down and didn't know what to say for a while.They often sit together, but at the moment the backbone is Deputy Director Tian.It was inexplicably embarrassing that the backbone was not there.After the waiter poured the tea, Deputy Director Tian came out from the bathroom.Everyone hurriedly stood up, and waited for Deputy Director Tian to sit down before they sat down again.There was a lot of gossip, but the matter of Li Jiyun's suspension was never mentioned.From time to time, someone would poke his head at the door, and Deputy Director Tian would raise his hands and say, "Come in!" The man would stretch out his hands early on, and quickly ran to Deputy Director Tian, ​​bowing his waist and shaking hands. "Old leader, I just heard that you are here, so I must come and see you!" Deputy Director Tian patted him on the shoulder and called his name.Most of the people who poked their heads in were county-level deputy leaders who did not attend the banquet, as well as small heads of county departments.A few people ran in with a smile on their faces, and Deputy Director Tian immediately called out his name, and they were overwhelmed with gratitude, saying, "The old leader has a really good memory!" Li Jiyun thought about this to himself: Really, you are not even sure if he recognizes you, so why are you running here!People who come in usually make two trips, shake hands with Deputy Director Tian first, and leave after saying a few words.In another two or three minutes, he will lead a subordinate to deliver some cigarettes or bottles of wine.That subordinate had already been waiting outside.Deputy Director Tian would not be polite, he just nodded his head to express his gratitude.There are also those who are very straightforward. They came in with their things, stood at the door and said: "Old leader, come to see you!" Damn, I'm leaving, I'm leaving." Deputy Director Tian only waved his hands, and immediately turned his head to continue talking. I talked about a lot of people and things at night, but I didn't say anything.Deputy Director Tian also knew that he could not control local personnel affairs, and he would not say anything about politics.Some people mentioned certain personnel, just gossip.The more Li Jiyun sat down, the clearer his mind became. He vaguely realized that this former leader who no longer had any influence on the local area might affect his official career again. It was late at night when Li Jiyun returned home, and Shu Jin had already fallen asleep.When he came to the bedroom after taking a shower, Shu Jin was woken up, and said in a low voice, "Every day, it's a pain in the ass!" Sometimes Shu Jin's words were short and short, and the students couldn't distinguish between the subject and the predicate.Li Jiyun lay down and said, "I would like to be so busy every day?" Shu Jin said again: "Horse urine, someday." Li Jiyun understood what his wife meant, and said that he drank horse urine every day, and never stopped.Li Jiyun didn't bother to talk to her, and fell asleep without moving.He felt that the pillow was uncomfortable, and he was afraid of annoying his wife, so he just let it go.He wanted to talk about going to the province to take a second job, but he heard Shu Jin snoring slightly. The next morning, the county party committee and the county government reported to Deputy Director Tian.Li Jiyun didn't sleep much last night, and he didn't even feel tired at all.He thought of going to the province to take a second job. Whether it was meaningful to him or not, he hadn't thought it through.Official career is like a chess game, you should be cautious at every step.You have to look at two or three steps to take one step, otherwise it seems to be a good move in front of you, but it will be a bad move when you look back.In his youth he secretly set a minimum program and a maximum program.The minimum program is to go to the deputy secretary of the county party committee, the county head, and the secretary of the county party committee.The highest program is from the secretary of the county party committee to the leadership of the municipal and provincial leaders.He has never dreamed of being a central leader, and he thinks that the grave of his ancestors has not yet been opened. He never talked about these two principles with anyone, not even with Shu Jin.He didn't have much to say to Shu Jin, they usually talked about housework that he was too lazy to deal with. After the briefing in the morning, in the afternoon, Deputy Director Tian wanted to visit Wujin Township, where he worked, and planned to sleep there for the night.Deputy Director Tian worked as a commune secretary there when he was young, and it can be said that it was the starting point of his official career.Xiong Xiong joked that Wujin Township was Director Tian's Ruijin.Deputy Director Tian didn't want to rush to the ground, so only Xiong Xiong accompanied him. When Li Jiyun returned to the office, Zhu Zhi called and asked, "Xiong Xiong asked you to take a second job, did you discuss it with you?" Li Jiyun said: "I don't know what he means. Who knows if he is joking or really has this idea? Obviously you are younger than me, but he deliberately said that I am the youngest. He himself is a few months younger than me." Zhu Zhi smiled coldly and said, "It seems that we are happy for nothing that you, an old classmate, came to be the secretary." His cell phone rang and he put it down.Seeing that the number was Xiong Xiong, he picked it up, and heard Xiong Xiong say: "Director Li, please call the office to make arrangements. Director Tian is going back to the province soon. Have dinner early!" It turned out that Deputy Director Tian suddenly received a notice that he would accompany Governor Cheng down tomorrow.He didn't arrive at Wujin Township, so he turned around on the way.Li Jiyun called the Meiyuan Hotel, and then he went there. At around five o'clock, Deputy Director Tian came back.Li Jiyun went up to meet him and said, "Director Tian is really busy!" Deputy Director Tian said with a smile: "This is called people in the Jianghu!" After a hasty dinner, Deputy Director Tian left.Wuyou arrived in the provincial capital very quickly, but it was actually very easy to go back.Deputy Director Tian was the boss of course when he came down, but he answered the phone call from the Provincial Government Office, and even walked faster, and he was no longer calm and unhurried.His reaction was completely subconscious.The Kuomintang officials in the movie, as long as they hear the word "President", they immediately stand at attention. I'm afraid it's not just a ceremony.Li Jiyun recently came across a theory in his reading, which said that the inferior to the superior, the weak to the strong, and the humble to the venerable, are most likely to have psychological attachments, which affect people's normal mind and correct judgment.From this point of view, the cult of personality has pathological roots. Sending off Deputy Director Tian, ​​Xiong Xiong said, "Director Li, let's sit down." Li Jiyun guessed that he must be looking for him to talk about temporary employment.Xiong Xiong has been with Deputy Director Tian for the past two days, and the two of them have never had a chance to sit down.When I went to the big suite where Deputy Director Tian lived, the waiter was cleaning up.Li Jiyun ordered: "You can do it later." The waiter left and gently closed the door.Xiong Xiong said: "Director Li, sending cadres to the province to take up postings is good for both the growth of the cadres themselves and the work in our county. Since Director Tian called for you to go, I personally think this is good for you It's a good thing." Li Jiyun no longer regards Xiong Xiong as a classmate.Since it is a business relationship, it is natural to speak according to official routines.Li Jiyun said: "Secretary Xiong, I naturally obey the organization's arrangements. But if I want to talk about my personal views, I haven't thought about this matter very clearly. I'm not sure whether to go or not. Of course, I just came from From a personal point of view." Xiong Xiong said: "Director Li, we are old classmates after all, you and I may as well speak openly and honestly. In my personal opinion, it is very good for your progress if you go to the province to take a second job. If you can try to stay in the province, the starting point Higher, wider world." Li Jiyun smiled and said: "Secretary Xiong always thought of me, thank you very much. However, my personal opinion is that I want to continue to work in the county, and the second is that I may be more suitable for grassroots work." Xiong Xiong nodded and smiled, and said: "Director Li, I have always been very grateful to you. I have not been in Wuyou for a long time, and you are very supportive of my work. But you know me as a person. Everything must be considered from the perspective of work. Also consider the growth of cadres. This is what I said in advance, you think about it yourself. If you don’t want to go, I wish for it. Anyway, it’s just a sentence on the wine table. Please believe in one thing, I, Xiong Xiong, only wish you well. " The two went downstairs side by side, and Xiong Xiong got into the car.Li Jiyun was used to walking around, so he said: "Secretary Xiong, you go first." When it got dark, people in the county town shouted and car horns were mixed together, which seemed to be noisier than during the day.Li Jiyun wanted to clear his mind, so he thought about it like playing a game: Is it noisy during the day or at night?It should be noisier during the day.At night, I feel that the street is even more noisy, because I have been busy for a day, and my mind is already messed up.You still have to think about things clearly, and the conclusion will be different if you think about it more.Whether or not to go to the province to take a second job is too important a matter to think clearly.People kept saying hello to him, and they seemed to have strange eyes.Li Jiyun is getting more and more sensitive, always feeling that others are thinking about him.Since Liu Xingming was reported, his nerves are very fragile. Li Jiyun went home and rang the doorbell, and the door opened quickly.The door was opened by Shu Jin, she didn't look at the man returning home, she still turned her head to watch the TV and said: "Everyone is fate." Li Jiyun didn't understand what she was saying, but he knew it wasn't for him.While pouring tea, Shu Jin was still watching the TV.A popular female singer is singing.Shu Jin put the tea on the coffee table and never took her eyes off the TV.Li Jiyun picked up the tea and drank it, remembering what Shu Jin said just now.It turned out that she lamented that her voice was naturally good, but she didn't have that fate, otherwise she would be a popular singer.As the popular singer left the curtain call, Shu Jin sighed slightly and shook her head slightly. Li Jiyun recalled the appointment, and said to Shu Jin: "You said that people are fate, and I just wanted to talk to you about something." Shu Jin asked, "What's the matter?" Li Jiyun said: "I have an opportunity to work in the province. Do you think it is better to go or not?" Shu Jin asked again: "What position will I give you?" Li Jiyun smiled and said, "You're asking directly. I'm going to the province to take a second job. How can I have a position?" Shu Jin was still just asking: "Suspending the job, that is to say, you still have to come back?" Li Jiyun said: "Accordingly, he will come back after taking a second job." Shu Jin still asked: "How many years will you hang up?" Li Jiyun said: "Usually three years, sometimes one year or two." Shu Jin had been watching the TV all the time, but now she turned her face away, glared at Li Jiyun, and said, "I've been on a job for three years and didn't arrange a position. Are you crazy? After three years, I've been promoted a long time ago!" Li Jiyun struggled with this matter for two days, but Shu Jin made it clear in a few words.After hearing his wife's words, Li Jiyun decided not to go to the province to take a second job.Shu Jin turned off the TV, told Ge'er to go to bed early, and then went into the room to sleep.Li Jiyun went to wash up and went to bed.After thinking about it, I lay on the bed, thinking again. It's not that Li Jiyun can't figure it out clearly, but it's hard to choose between pros and cons.As long as he goes well in the county, in three to five years, he may be able to become the secretary of the county party committee.At that time, he was about forty years old.If things go smoothly, you can become a municipal leader.If God opens his eyes again, he might even reach provincial leaders.If you go straight to the province, if you are lucky, you will work hard to reach the department level, and then come down to be the secretary of the municipal party committee for a few years, and then move up to become a provincial leader. However, he does not have a strong backer in the province, so it is difficult for him to be appreciated by others.At most, Deputy Director Tian could only send him to be a department-level cadre.Deputy Director Tian retired after a few years, and he has no ability to send him to a higher level.Last night, Deputy Director Tian asked him to chat in the room, and he clearly felt that the leader was old.There are many seeds of old melons, and there are many old words of people.Deputy Director Tian came back a few years ago and didn't have so many words.He is now chatting endlessly with his old subordinates, this is old.You can't put your future on the old comrades. Li Jiyun's minimum program and maximum program, he has secretly demonstrated countless times.He has thought carefully about which position to work for for several years, and how to speed up his pace.If Tian fulfills people's wishes, he must be very promising.Li Jiyun has a habit of carefully studying the resumes of the candidates every time there is a provincial and central election.For the kind of young cadres who get promoted quickly, he will study more carefully, trying to find the mystery from the cracks in the words.Why did they go from an ordinary cadre to a provincial and ministerial level in just a dozen years?Why did people become national leaders in their fifties?Seeing that some senior cadres are similar to his own early experience, he will be full of confidence.But the starting point for implementing these two programs is at the grassroots level, and he never thought of going to the provincial government. No, he decided not to go. Li Jiyun was engrossed in looking forward to a bright future, when suddenly he heard Shu Jin say, "Show off!" He listened without thinking, and asked: "What kind of show?" Shu Jin was lying on her back, but after hearing what the man said, she bounced back and lay on her side.Li Jiyun immediately understood that it had been a long time since he had been tender with his wife.What Shu Jin meant was that such a beautiful wife, he only kept it at home for show.I'm really sorry for my wife, he comes back late every day and is exhausted as soon as he enters the door, how can he have that kind of thought? He got down on his stomach and kissed the back of his wife's neck.
