Besides, Huang Rasheng and the others felt something was wrong after they left the county party committee compound, so they walked back with their heads sullen.

Passing by Chengguan Town, Qian Wenzhong suggested that he go and sit at his house.

Several people were depressed, so they followed Qian Wenzhong to his house.

Qian Wenzhong's home has been completely renovated, changing its dilapidated appearance.

The son and daughter-in-law who were working at a construction site in the provincial capital came back a long time ago. Through land transfer, they cooperated with others to set up a farm, growing rice, vegetables and fruits, and achieved a bumper harvest. Their annual income was more than double that of working outside.

The little grandson was just over half a year old. When he saw a large number of people coming, he screamed and jumped straight into Qian Wenzhong's arms. Qian Wenzhong and his wife were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

Ernizi, who was studying at Qingyuan Normal College, is also back. Now she is interning at Chengguan Town Central Primary School and is responsible for arranging a program to participate in the county's New Year's Eve performance. She has just come back now and is busy serving tea to her uncles and uncles.

.

The daughter-in-law handed the child to Qian Wenzhong's wife, rolled up her sleeves, and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch for everyone.

Qian Wenzhong took everyone to sit down in the yard and talked about the meeting just now. They were all filled with emotion and blamed themselves for causing trouble to Secretary Chu and the county.

Yes, previous county party committee secretaries have greatly disappointed them.

If nothing else, the Fu Damu brothers were tyrannical, corrupt and bending the law in Nanling County. The previous secretaries were not ignorant at all, but they either turned a blind eye or were complicit, resulting in Nanling County being impoverished and backward for a long time.

When Chu Tianshu arrived, they, like nearly a million people in Nanling County, naturally thought that it was still a change of soup without changing the medicine. They even felt that one crab was worse than the other, because in their eyes, Chu Tianshu was just a person.

"baby".

However, it was this "baby secretary" who completely changed the face of Nanling and re-established the good image of the county party secretary in people's minds.

The people of Nanling have never labeled Chu Tianshu a "cruel official". In their hearts, this "baby secretary" is courageous, wise, and capable. He is their benefactor and the "Master Qingtian" in their minds.

.

However, after the "Ten Thousand People Petition", their Secretary Chu was bombarded by a group of scholars and officials, and it would also affect his progress. They were not convinced, but it was useless to be anxious, and they did not dare to continue

"Gathering a crowd to make trouble", I had a lot of things to say in my heart and had nowhere to say them, and I felt particularly uncomfortable.

what to do?

While Er Nizi was serving tea and water to everyone, she heard her grandfather Xue Zhanshan and the others talking about Secretary Chu and sighing from time to time, so she asked about the whole story.

When she heard about what happened, she suddenly had an idea. She suggested that Secretary Chu's deeds should be compiled into a tea-picking tune and widely sung in various towns and villages. This was not "gathering people to make trouble" or "running for official positions" in disguise.

"Bar.

Er Nizi expressed her idea and everyone clapped in agreement.

The tea-picking tune was originally a tune hummed by tea-picking girls while picking tea. Later, it was collected and compiled by folk artists and used to entertain villagers during weddings and weddings or during slack farming seasons. It then became a local opera and became widely popular in the province.

.

Several people sat together and talked about what Chu Tianshu had done after arriving in Nanling. Ernizi was responsible for recording it, and then read it to everyone, selecting the more important parts.

, let Er Nizi compile

It was composed into a verse, using a tea-picking tune. It was first sung on the loudspeaker in the village, and then spread in various towns and villages. Within a few days, it spread beyond Nanling County, to Qingyuan City, and throughout the southeast.

Most of the rural areas in the province.

…

New Year's Day passed in a blink of an eye.

Historically, the "Two Sessions" in provinces, cities and counties have ended before the Spring Festival.

Entering January, the two sessions of Nanling County were held.

Geng Zhongtian was officially elected as the county magistrate of Nanling County, Liu Qingyan, Xue Zhanshan and Zuo Tiannian were elected as deputy county magistrates, and Du Yufei was elected as the director of the Public Security Bureau.

Xue Jinlong played the role of a "bad match" in the deputy county magistrate election. Although he failed to enter the government team in the end, he still won the position of vice chairman of the CPPCC, which was an affirmation of his timely return.

Not long after the "Two Sessions" in various districts and counties ended, the news about the convening of the "Two Sessions" in Qingyuan City was overwhelming, but Chu Tianshu's career prospects were still like flowers in the mist.

On January 17, we reported to the Municipal People’s Assembly.

According to the unspoken rules of official circles, if there is no news from you by the time of the meeting, then there is really no hope at all.

On January 15, Chu Tianshu received a call from Chang Shengli, head of the Municipal Party Committee’s Organization Department, asking him to come to the office of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yi Haitao at ten o’clock tomorrow morning.

Chu Tianshu, who has been walking in official circles for these years, seemed to feel something.

Of course, before the two sessions, how can the main leaders of the municipal party committee fail to explain organizational discipline and ensure the success of the election? In a country where democracy is not yet perfect, leaders must ensure that the general election is passed by a unanimous vote, at least by a high vote, so that everyone is happy.

If there are negative votes, even if there are only a handful of them, the elected person will lose face, and the main person in charge of the delegation who voted against or abstained will also be criticized.

In fact, if Secretary Yi specifically asked him to report half a day in advance for this matter and go to the office to explain it face to face, in Chu Tianshu's opinion, it would be unnecessary and the Nanling County delegation could not get out of control.

However, that night, Chu Tianshu did not sleep well at all. He had breakfast early and called the county magistrate Geng Zhongtian, repeatedly emphasizing that the representatives should pay attention to Nanling's image when reporting for duty.

It was nine-fifty when Chu Tianshu arrived at Secretary Yi's office.

The door of Secretary Yi's office was open, and secretary Fan Yibing was on the phone. Seeing Chu Tianshu standing at the door, he quickly put down the phone and said, "Secretary Chu, please sit down. Secretary Yi will be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Haitao had already appeared at the door. When Chu Tianshu stepped forward to shake hands, he found Chang Shengli, the head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, smiling and extending his hand to him.

After everyone sat down, Yi Haitao said a few polite words, and Fan Yibing immediately left.

Yi Haitao looked at the organization director Chang Shengli and said: "Old Chang, let me talk about the situation first."

"Comrade Tianshu, representatives of the Municipal People's Congress reported today that this conference is not a term change, but just the fourth meeting of the National People's Congress held in the middle of the term." Yi Haitao said: "The situation in Qingyuan City is quite special, so this conference

In addition to regular work reports, there are also election tasks."

At this point, Yi Haitao stopped and did not continue. Chu Tianshu's heart suddenly became quiet.

He knew that in a department-level city, it was not easy to reach the county level. Among the county-level leading cadres, there were only a dozen or so people who could stand out and reach the deputy department or city level.

It is not easy for a cadre to cross the threshold of the department or city level.

He was born in an out-and-out ordinary family with no previous background. He was able to take a leadership position at the county level so quickly. This was mainly because he met good leaders, from Yi Haitao, Lin Guodong to the current governor Qiao.

Mingsong, Provincial Party Committee Secretary Nan Yanping, they all have a keen eye.

"Secretary Yi, Minister Chang, don't worry, I will definitely follow the municipal party committee's intention to ensure that the Nanling County delegation successfully completes the election task." After Chu Tianshu finished speaking, he added: "The Nanling delegation will not go out.

Any questions."

"Comrade Tianshu," Yi Haitao said: "With the opinions of the provincial party committee and the municipal party committee, we are going to arrange for you to be a candidate for deputy mayor and submit it to the general meeting for election."

Chu Tianshu never expected, and even couldn't believe his ears, that Yi Haitao was silent for a while and easily made such an important decision.

"But, Xiao Chu." Yi Haitao's expression suddenly became serious: "You are a very controversial figure. Despite this, the Provincial Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee believe that you have done a lot of work in Nanling in recent years, especially

The reform has achieved remarkable results, and I hope you will continue to exert your reform spirit. Therefore, I decided to put you on the National People's Congress for the representatives to elect you."

Chu Tianshu breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he had a lot to say, but he knew that the leader had not allowed him to express his position yet. Even if he was excited, he could not express it in a hurry.

"Since it is an election, there are two possibilities of being elected or not." Yi Haitao said: "Of course we have repeatedly emphasized that each delegation must ensure that it is consistent with its superiors and must take the overall situation into consideration, but..."

Yi Haitao paused, looked at Chu Tianshu, and said: "As a city-level People's Congress, it is not a township People's Congress after all. The election must be successful, which often depends on specific people, but we must be prepared for both. This

There have been a lot of negative comments about you in the past few years. Although many people have complained for you, this shows that there is still controversy over your use. If you are selected, it represents the trust and support of you. If you are not selected, that is

There are still gaps between you and other candidates in various aspects, and I personally and organizationally believe that you can treat them correctly."

"Xiao Chu, in the election of two additional vice mayors this time, besides you, Yuan Zhichao and Xu Yimin are also running." Chang Shengli interrupted, saying: "The Municipal People's Congress will be held soon, and such a

The conference is mainly about procedures, so you must temporarily put away your usual reform ideas. I don’t need to say more about some things, you know what to do."

After Yi Haitao and Chang Shengli finished speaking, it was Chu Tianshu's turn to express his position.

Of course, Chu Tianshu could hear the implicit meaning in the words of the two leaders. He was a "bad match" secretly designated by the organization, and he had to be mentally prepared not to be selected. Therefore, in addition to saying something like thanking the organization for their concern, he

There are only two preparations for expressing a red heart, and resolutely implement the municipal committee’s election intentions.

Returning to the delegation's headquarters, Chu Tianshu looked at the representatives from Nanling who had come to attend the meeting, and then hurriedly participated in the preparatory meeting.

At this time, the most popular news among the representatives was the selection of the deputy mayor.

After dinner, as soon as Chu Tianshu entered the room door, Geng Zhongtian came in.

In the county, many important matters are communicated in advance between the county magistrate and the county party committee secretary.

As soon as he entered the door, Geng Zhongtian suddenly closed the door mysteriously and said in a low voice: "Secretary, don't do anything tonight. Go to the delegations and take a look."
