The light in the room was a little dim, and Jin Mulin's face was hidden in the darkness. The snow fell silently outside. After several days of freezing rain, light snow began to fall, and the indoor temperature suddenly dropped. ([] )

Putting on his coat, he stood in front of the window, looking at the county committee office that was about to boil and the excitement on the faces of those who followed Zhou Taitao, and he had the urge to hit people.

A person he could have trampled to death suddenly became someone he could trample on. He couldn't swallow this feeling.

The official appointment of the provincial party committee has not yet been announced, but he has been confirmed through several channels that Zhou Taitao will take up a position in the city.

Although the specific position has not yet been determined, there is no doubt that Zhou Taitao will be promoted to the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee.

After taking this step, Zhou Taitao became a member of the municipal party committee's leadership team. With nearly ten years of senior management experience and less than forty years old, his prospects have gradually become clearer.

What he is most worried about now is that he and Zhou Taitao have a deep feud. Although the two still maintain the superficial friendship of being partners, he knows that Zhou Taitao must hate him in his heart. He is worried that Zhou Taitao will not let him live an easy life.

I have another big question!

Who recommended Zhou Taitao to the Standing Committee?

Who has that much thrust?

Jin Mulin did not believe that with Zhou Taitao's past political achievements, the provincial party committee leaders could promote Zhou Taitao to the Standing Committee for no reason.

Who is it? This question is like a poisonous snake, gnawing at Jin Mulin's heart.

If this issue is not clarified, Jin Mulin will have to walk on thin ice in the future. After all, he is afraid that a giant hand will suddenly appear from nowhere and push him out of Yiju County.

Picking up the phone, Jin Mulin dialed Zhou Lichang's home phone number.

"Secretary? It's me, Xiao Linzi..."

"Are you going to ask about Zhou Taitao?"

"Secretary, I..."

"You don't have to hide it. I have received more than a dozen calls today, asking what's going on. But I don't have a clue. I know you are very concerned about what pushed Zhou Taitao to the Standing Committee, but I can only say

, I really don’t know, I’m also investigating.” There was even a tremor in Zhou Lichang’s tone.

In the morning, Zhou Lichang received a call from the Deputy Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee, asking for his opinion on Zhou Taitao's appointment to the Standing Committee.

He tactfully made some suggestions. However, his suggestions were not adopted by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. During the Standing Committee meeting, Zhou Taitao entered the Guangling Standing Committee and was approved as if it was a formality.

Guangling is not considered a core city in the province, and neither Zhu Lihe nor Chen Zhiwen will pay detailed attention to the level of the Standing Committee of the Guangling Municipal Party Committee.

Unless there is a huge imbalance in the balance of power of the Guangling Municipal Party Committee, or even a conflict, and the team is extremely disunited, it is possible that people like Chen Zhiwen and Zhu Li will pay attention.

This made Zhou Lichang feel very frustrated!

Several candidates for the Standing Committee submitted by the municipal party committee were not recognized by the provincial party committee, and Zhou Taitao was promoted instead.

This is not just a matter of Zhou Lichang’s weakened voice in the Standing Committee.

More importantly, this shows that he cannot be trusted at the provincial party committee level!

"The Provincial Party Committee held a meeting this morning, and no news has been leaked yet?"

"The Standing Committee can't see anything. I don't know which Standing Committee member nominated Zhou Taitao. The Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee has the right to nominate, no matter who nominates. It will be summarized to the Organization Department of the Provincial Committee first, and then Minister Wen Youliang will appoint it to the Standing Committee

It was raised at the meeting, so it’s impossible to tell who nominated him. It’s good that at least one member of the Standing Committee supports Zhou Taitao.”

"I didn't expect him to hide it so deeply." Jin Mulin sighed.

"yes!"

Zhou Lichang didn't think much and continued chatting with Jin Mulin before hanging up the phone.

…

Zhou Taitao didn't stay in the office for long, so he drove directly home and told his wife the good news.

The family has already packed a lot of things and organized them because she was worried that life would be difficult in the city. My wife even packed some soap and toothbrushes in advance, so as not to spend money to buy them in the city.

In the mid-1990s, the wages of division-level cadres in Guangling were not high, barely enough to live on, and not even as high as the wages of some senior technicians in municipal state-owned factories.

As the secretary of the county party committee, Zhou Taitao doesn't have much money to spend. He usually gives a lot of gifts to his subordinates, so his living expenses are not particularly large.

In addition, Zhou Taitao also has a "reception fee" transferred from the county finance, which is allocated to county leaders and is mainly used to receive superiors and subordinates. It can also be regarded as one of the large amounts of legal disposable income.

Therefore, although Zhou Taitao never accepted any unexplained money, his family still lived a relatively comfortable life.

But if Zhou Taitao were transferred to a casual position in the city, he would definitely not have the reception fee, and there would definitely be fewer people giving cigarettes, alcohol, and gifts, and the pressure in life would definitely be much greater.

When packing, I took care of everything and packed everything I could take away. I waited for the appointment from the city at any time, and then I carried the big and small bags.

But I didn’t expect that there would be twists and turns, and there would be another bright spot.

The wife hugged Zhou Taitao, cried with joy, and said, "I really met a noble person. Who helped you get in?"

Zhou Taitao smiled and said nothing, just gestured with the character "Yang".

The wife exclaimed, "It's Yang Shi..."

Before she could cry out, Zhou Taitao stopped her from talking, "Don't talk nonsense, and don't tell anyone, you know? Just understand it. No one will help our family except him. We must be grateful."

"

The wife nodded, "Fortunately, I met him that night. It was probably you who reported work to him, and he thought you could make it."

"No, no. He is not a hasty person. I am afraid that he has already planned and investigated me. That night was just a coincidence. This is in line with his style of behavior!" Zhou Taitao smiled, "The big leader's thoughts.

, we have no way of guessing, now the rain has finally passed and the weather has cleared up, and we will move to the city and start a new job when the appointment is made, let me have two more drinks tonight, go to the room,

Take out those bottles of wine."

…

The snow fell silently, and Zhou Lichang, wrapped in his coat, came out of his yard and called several deputy secretaries to the small conference room of the municipal party committee for a meeting.

He hoped to find some clues from the various deputy secretaries.

Before Zhou Lichang notified the secretaries of the meeting, Yang Zixuan rushed back from the provincial capital, rushed home, changed into comfortable clothes, and went to the conference room for the meeting.

There were a lot of snowflakes falling on his shoulders, but Zhou Lichang didn't feel anything. He looked at the deputy secretaries in the conference room, who had their own thoughts, and said hello, "Thank you, comrades, even if it snows, we all get together for the meeting.

Actually, I can't say it's a meeting, but something happened suddenly today, and I'm a person who can't hide things, so I just wanted to talk to everyone."

Yang Zixuan was sitting on the sofa in the corner with a muffled voice, and suddenly spoke up and asked, "Then this one doesn't take any minutes of the meeting, is it a meeting between the secretaries?"

"If Comrade Zixuan understands it this way, that's fine. Look, we are the only ones who got together today. When I hold a formal secretarial meeting, I will ask Comrade Fei Tong to come over and take minutes of the meeting, and I will also bring a notebook.

Come here. But you see, Comrade Fei Tong didn’t come here today, and I didn’t bring any notebook. In short, today’s meeting is just a gathering of a few of us comrades. It’s not a meeting, and I don’t know how to do anything.

Whatever the record is, just say whatever you want."

Zhou Lichang spread his hands and said with a cheerful smile. The other deputy secretaries felt much more relaxed after hearing what he said.

"Is that a small-scale life meeting?" Yang Zixuan asked again.

"You say life can do it, life can do it. In short, you can say whatever you want."

Yang Zixuan smiled and said, "Comrade Lichang, is this considered to be an invitation to others? The biggest news in the city today is probably that Comrade Zhou Taitao joined the municipal party committee. I believe many comrades here have heard about it. Comrade Lichang,

Aren't you just trying to figure things out by taking so much pains? There's no need to go through such a big detour."

Zhou Lichang felt angry at being squeezed by Yang Zixuan, but as he had just said, this was a life meeting, and naturally he could not use the leadership's pretensions to suppress others, so he said, "Comrade Zixuan, you are also very curious, right? Everyone is curious, so just ask yourself

Please tell me all the sources of information you know..."

Yang Zixuan smiled at Wei Zhengfeng, "Comrade Zhengfeng is the deputy secretary in charge of the organization. She should have communicated with Comrade Mu Ying. She must have many sources of information. She came from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee...

"

"There is no news, it can be said that there are no signs..." Wei Zhengfeng also found it difficult to understand.

Wu Tingfa is the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and there is not much news about him. Needless to say, Li Huan, both of them shook their heads.

Zhou Lichang was a little disappointed and said, "Why did the Provincial Party Committee airdrop a person who we don't really approve of? This is unconvincing."

"Comrade Lichang, there are two problems with your statement. Zhou Taitao is a comrade in our city and has been at the director level for nearly ten years. How can such a comrade whom we know very well be called an airdrop? You may not agree.

He, but I have read his personal resume, and I quite approve of this comrade. When he was in office in Yiju County, he developed Yiju County from a small agricultural county at the beginning into an industrial giant.

County, the economic aggregate is only second to Gangneung and Gangyang districts. According to the current economic growth rate, it will take the first half of next year for the industrial park to surpass the economic aggregate of Uiju County. Why can such a comrade not get it?

How about recognition? Our party’s principle of employing people is to have both ability and political integrity. At least in terms of ability and political integrity, Comrade Zhou Taitao may have flaws, but the general direction is not a big problem..."

Zhou Lichang and several other deputy secretaries almost dropped their eyes to the ground, but they did not expect Yang Zixuan to defend Zhou Taitao.

Before, no matter what Zhou Lichang thought, he never connected Zhou Taitao and Yang Zixuan. He thought that Yang Zixuan would definitely vent his anger on Zhou Taitao because of being handcuffed by the police station in Yizhou County.
