2. Fight for official position

Wang Wensi came back from Dong Datian's house and sat on the sofa thinking over and over what Dong Datian said to him: Dong Datian was the secretary, and he asked me to be the village director. I was still running errands under him! What's the difference from now?

?How frustrating it is to be dispatched by a brainless second-in-command! If you are unhappy, you have to listen to a few words. He also doubted whether the town leader really talked to him and whether he really wanted him to be the secretary.

?Is he afraid that I will compete with him and bluffing me? If I fail to win this time, in a few years when Li Minqiang will be older and Li Minqiang’s feathers have grown and he has gained prestige among the masses, I will be even more out of luck.

.No! I have to go to town to find out the truth.

When Zhang Guilan saw her husband sitting in a daze, she said, "Why are you sitting in a daze?"

"I can't always calm down."

"Don't worry, you won't go to Secretary Chen's place in town to check things out. Don't just stay bored at home. You have to do some activities."

"You are right, I will go find Secretary Chen tomorrow."

The next day, Zhang Guilan took out two bottles of wine from the cupboard and said: "Dogs don't bite those who poop, and officials don't punish those who give gifts. Take this with you."

Wang Wensi asked: "What are you doing with this?"

"What are you doing? You'll be spitting after eating sesame cakes. How can you beg someone to do something with nothing? You forgot what they said, 'If you don't run, don't stay where you are. If you run, you can move up again.'"

"Oh, this is for the office and not his home. Can he accept it? Don't get involved." He said, taking a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from the drawer, putting it in his pocket and walking out the door.

As soon as Chen Wenjun entered and sat down, Wang Wensi came in.

"Secretary Chen."

"Old Wang, sit down quickly."

Wang Wensi did not sit down, but quickly took out the cigarettes from his pocket and handed one over, saying: "Smoke a cigarette first." Then with a "pop" sound, he lit the lighter for Chen Wenjun and put the cigarette on the desk.

I sat on the chair opposite and took out another pack of cigarettes from my pocket.

"Why don't you smoke this one?"

Wang Wensi said with a smile: "I'm not lucky enough. The smoke is too strong and I can't get used to it, but I still smoke it smoothly." As he said this, he took out a cigarette and lit it. The smoke was coiling above their heads.

"Why do you have time to come to my place today?"

"I went to Qianliuzhuang and passed by here to see you. I missed you after not seeing you for a few days. At the same time, I also came to congratulate you!"

Chen Wenjun smiled and said: "What can I congratulate?"

Wang Wensi said seriously: "I heard that you are going to be promoted to the director of the County Agriculture and Forestry Bureau. I am very happy."

"It's nothing, don't listen to other people's nonsense."

"Why are you so stupid? That's what my cousin said."

"Your cousin?"

"Ah! It's Xu Shiqing from the County Organization Department."

"Vice Minister Xu is your cousin?"

"Ah! You don't know?"

"How would I know if you didn't tell me!"

"Do you know each other?"

"How can I not recognize you? Vice Minister Xu told me that I came here to serve."

"When you were at the reservoir construction site, Shiqing came to see me at home. At the dinner table, I told him that you are very capable and should have been promoted long ago. Shiqing also said that you have been working there for a long time. It is preparation

I'm ready to send you back to the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry to be the director."

"Really?" Chen Wenjun asked happily with a smile.

"I also said that we have a good relationship and a deep relationship. You have given me a lot of help. If I want him to, he must promote you."

"Thank you." Then he said, "Don't tell anyone else about this again."

"I know that."

Chen Wenjun changed the topic and asked: "What are you busy with recently?"

"Let's form a team."

"What team should we form?"

"Isn't it that Qinglin is about to retire? Datian is going to be the secretary of Shagang Village. He is busy recruiting troops, appointing officials and making wishes."

"Who did you hear that he wanted to be secretary? The town party committee hasn't studied it yet!"

"What's the matter? The town hasn't decided yet? This Dong Datian is so impatient. Now the whole city is in turmoil. Everyone in the village knows that he is going to be the secretary."

Chen Wenjun laughed and asked: "When he became secretary, what kind of official position did he give you?"

"He said he wanted me to be the director of the village committee."

"He said whoever he wants can be elected? The director of the village committee must be elected by the villagers."

"Yes! But it doesn't matter if Dong Datian yells like this, there will be a lot of discussion below."

"Why is this Dong Datian so poor in quality? He has a low level of education and a simple mind. You must help him."

"I gave him many reminders, but he has such a stubborn temper that he breaks down at a moment's notice, making it impossible for you to get off the stage."

"It seems that Dong Datian's conditions for becoming secretary are immature."

"See if there are any suitable candidates in our village!"

"You must be mentally prepared for this. You are now the deputy secretary and have worked in the branch for such a long time. You should have a good understanding of the situation in the village and you should also have experience in rural work."

"How is Li Minqiang doing?"

"He is very capable and smart. He has done a good job on the reservoir. I admire him very much. Secretary Zhao of the county party committee also praised him at the meeting. He is a talent. But he didn't understand the situation in the village when he first came. Now he is

I'm afraid the secretary is not suitable, and he lacks experience in rural work."

"Secretary Chen means..."

Chen Wenjun thought for a moment and said: "I can't say who will be this secretary now. I will actively recommend you when the town party committee studies it."

Secretary Zhou opened the door and came in: "Secretary Chen, the mayor wants you to come over."

"I know."

"Secretary Chen, please do your work, I'm leaving."

"I won't send it to you anymore."

Wang Wensi felt at ease after listening to Chen Wenjun's words: Secretary Chen believed that Dong Datian was uneducated and had low cultural quality. When he was a secretary, he looked forward to the moon at night when he was thirty and had no hope. Li Minqiang was a newcomer and had no experience. He was also a blind man playing with a lantern and could not see a future.

Only by returning me, the deputy secretary who knows the situation in the village well and has work experience, is there any hope. Coupled with Deputy Secretary Chen’s positive recommendation, I will call my cousin when I get back and ask him to put some pressure on the town boss.

, I think this secretary is blocking the cage and catching chickens, so I’m sure! Dong Datian, don’t have sweet dreams. He seemed to have eaten magpie eggs, and he happily hummed a ditty all the way home.

Wang Wensi picked up the phone as soon as he got home: "Shiqing? This is Wensi."

"Cousin! What's the matter?"

"What do you mean? The old secretary of our village has been ill for a long time and cannot work. There is no one in charge of the village. This is very detrimental to the development of the village! Would you like to tell the town leaders to solve this problem as soon as possible?"

"Isn't it Dong Datian who is in charge?"

"He is so talented and uneducated, how can he do it? He only knows how to eat and drink to get angry and make the village a mess. The people are very angry with him."

"you mean?"

"You also know my situation. After working as a cadre in the village for so many years, I always have such a bad look on my face!"

"What does town mean?"

"Deputy Secretary Chen of the town party committee wants me to serve as secretary of the village branch. Deputy Secretary Chen suggests that you give Secretary Tian a greeting."

"I see."

Wang Wensi put down the phone, with a smile on her face. Chen Wenjun wanted to climb up, and it was impossible for him not to consider my cousin's relationship. My cousin said hello to Tian Yongsheng, and he would not fail to give him face. I'll find him again.

Mu Qinglin checked it out and asked him to recommend it to the town leaders.

Mu Qinglin was lying on the kang, with a piece of Hebei Daily beside his pillow, staring at the roof and thinking in a daze: I have been a cadre in the village for so many years, and although everyone has some opinions about me, it is difficult for one person to say the same.

With a hundred people's hearts, how can a cadre not offend others? He said that he eats and drinks too much, and with this current trend, you can't get anything done without eating or drinking! Although the village is not as wealthy as other villages, there has been some improvement. The street lights on the street are not

Has it been installed? Hasn’t the road at the west end of the village been repaired? Although the government paid for the construction, he also contributed his own efforts! Some people have not been lifted out of poverty, who can blame them? It’s because he didn’t plant the land well.

What can he do to hinder the cadres if he himself is unable to do so? The land has been contracted to individuals, and if individuals cultivate their own land, they do not need to worry too much about the cadres. The current village cadres are just waiters. If they do a good job, they will be responsible every year.

It's a good thing to receive the subsidy as usual. I thought about continuing to work, but in the past few years, my health has been bad, my heart disease has not recovered, and I have this nagging back pain. Alas, I sighed deeply.

He sounded sad.

Wang Wensi quietly opened the door and came in: "Secretary, are you at home alone?"

"Ah, here comes Wen Si!" He pointed at the edge of the kang and said, "Sit down, why are you spending money to buy things?"

"Ahem, some nutritional supplements. You need to take good care of yourself." Wang Wensi put the gifts he brought on the table next to him and sat next to Mu Qinglin. "I heard that Guilan said you were discharged from the hospital. No.

Don't worry, come and take a look. Why are you in such a hurry to leave the hospital? Don't stay in the hospital for a longer time."
