Chapter 38: Important Mission

wed. 。Ge Xian saw no one around the corner and said, "Good job today." 。Yuan Bing immediately nodded and bowed: "Thank you, Governor Ge, for your praise. It's mainly because Governor Ge leads well!"...Xiao Zheng dialed "Xiaoyue"'s number. The call went through, but no one answered. 。Xiao Zheng called again, but still no one answered. He thought to himself, "Xiaoyue" must be busy. 。Xiao Zheng then stopped fighting, thinking to himself, "Maybe she will come back after seeing this." 。At this moment, in the office of An County Party Secretary, a mysterious guest wearing a hat was sitting on the sofa, lifting a white porcelain teacup to his lips, taking a sip, then placing it back on the tea table. He raised his head and looked at County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu, asking: "Secretary Xiao, how do you feel about your time in the county Are you adjusting well" Xiao Jingyu glanced at the person opposite him... 。This distinguished guest, wearing a hat, found it somewhat uncomfortable. 。After all, he used to sit on the rostrum, always so dignified and respectful, inspiring awe in everyone. 。Now, with his hat on and casual clothes, he seems quite unfamiliar. 。Before he came, he had already made an agreement with Xiao Jingyu that this trip to Anxian was not for work inspection or research, but purely a personal visit. 。

For this, don't entertain him, don't promote it, just let him sit in her office for a while, chat a bit, and leave.

In light of this request, Xiao Jingyu specially chose the day when the county magistrate also went to the city for a meeting and invited this distinguished guest. 。Minister Lu, over the past period of time, I have mainly been familiarizing myself with my work. 。Xiao Jingyu replied. 。Minister Lu looked at Xiao Jingyu from under his hat brim: "I heard that after you arrived in An County, you haven't even held a large meeting. Some township, street, and department cadres haven't even seen the new secretary's face." 。"Isn't that a bit too low-key"

County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu said, "I just want to get a clear understanding of the foundation of An County, grasp the situation more deeply. Sharpening the knife doesn't delay chopping wood, after all." 。"Lu's face was slightly visible under his hat brim, a smile like the sun breaking through the clouds, he said: “Xiao Shujì, you are very steadfast and composed, indeed worthy of your name 'Jìngyǔ'! … You can even quiet the entire universe." 。County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu's phone rang just as Minister Lu said the words "has a quiet air." 。At that moment, Lu's eyebrows twitched, but Xiao Jingyu didn't pay attention to his phone and continued listening to what Minister Lu had to say. 。When Minister Lu said, "Let the universe quiet down," the phone rang again. 。This bell seems to be deliberately going against Minister Lu. You say "quiet down," and it just won't quiet down. 。Xiao Jingyu has already seen it, the phone call was from Xiao Zheng. 。She found it rather odd that Xiao Zheng had suddenly called her. But with Minister Lu present, she couldn't answer Xiao Zheng's call, so she put her phone on silent and said, "A subordinate official called, Minister Lu. I've silenced it already. I apologize for the interruption. Please continue." 。"The officials below Who are they Could it be the town official who saved you" Minister Lu's eyes flickered, he asked. 。Minister Lu is indeed an old leader, with a keen eye for detail. He guessed it right away. 。Xiao Jingyu would not deceive Minister Lu, so he said: "Yes, Minister Lu, it is that township cadre, called 'Xiao Zheng'." 。"

Minister Lu said: “How did you arrange him later” Xiao Jingyu said: “The Tianhuang Town cadre team needs to be allocated, and the grassroots recommended him as a Party Committee member. Recently, the deputy town mayor in charge of safety production had some issues, and the county committee also agreed to his request to be elected as deputy town mayor.” 。"That's about it. " 。A grassroots official, he saved your life. You could at least get him a deputy position in return. 。Minister Lu had heard from Xiao Jingyu that if it hadn't been for Xiao Zheng, she probably wouldn't have been alive. 。Therefore, Minister Lu also agreed to Xiao Jingyu's promotion of Xiao Zheng, which is within his purview. 。Although the line between private and public may be somewhat blurred, Xiao Zheng saving Xiao Jingyu was, in essence, saving the life of a county-level leading official. This is actually a contribution to the country. Furthermore, his act of heroism deserves commendation. 。However, Minister Lu still reminded: "How capable is this person As a member of the Party committee and deputy head of the town, he needs to be able to handle his work. If he can't, you need to make adjustments as soon as possible. Place him in a certain committee of the county People's Congress or CPPCC, or in some position within the people's organizations." 。Don't even mention promoting him, it would just bring us unnecessary trouble. 。"After thinking about the few times I've interacted with Xiao Zheng recently, I replied: 'From what I've observed, his thought process is clear, he has some work capacity, and even some ideals and aspirations.' " 。"Minister Lu, after hearing Xiao Jingyu's words, shifted his gaze from under the brim of his hat and looked at Xiao Jingyu with scrutiny: “What ideals and aspirations could a grassroots cadre possibly have”

Minister Lu hadn't come up through the ranks himself and didn't know much about grassroots work. In his view, the grassroots were just the grassroots; as long as they did a good job of execution and got closer to the masses, that was enough." 。Ideal aspirations, top-level design, grassroots cadres are out of touch with them. 。Xiao Jingyu noticed Lu's expression and simply said, "Want to change the face of your hometown" 。"Oh," Minister Lu said nonchalantly, "that's a rather simple and idealistic aspiration as well." 。"Did he make any other requests" Xiao Jingyu said. "No." 。and also promised that they would not ask me for help again. 。。When I dealt with him, he always claimed to be the general manager of a provincial company's branch in An County. 。"Minister Lu nodded again: "I finally understand why you haven't held a meeting for so long, and haven't appeared on newspapers or television. It's all because of this, isn't it" Xiao Jingyu didn't deny it: "There is some relationship, but on the other hand, I also wanted to spend more time figuring things out." 。"Okay, I think you handled this situation very well. " 。Now that he has agreed not to make any further demands, when he knows that you are the county Party Secretary, he will have nothing more to say. 。“Minister Lu said, “However, you still need to be vigilant. Human nature is always greedy, and we can’t guarantee that he will know you are the county party secretary after this and come again asking for promotion, asking for a good position.” 。"Minister Lu, if that's really the case, then it's very easy to solve. " 。"As the county party secretary, isn't it difficult to settle a matter with a township cadre" Hearing this, Minister Lu nodded in relief: "I believe you are capable of doing so." 。Well, about that village official thing, I won't say much more. 。Moreover, I am here today regarding the other task. 。Xiao Jingyu suddenly remembered the two major tasks assigned to her when she was sent down by the provincial government:

First, naturally, it was to lead the development of the county economy. An County, a place known as "An Ran Ji Xiang" (Peace and Prosperity), was said to have once been home to phoenixes. In recent years, its development has been dismal. Previous leaders failed to boost the economy and even damaged the environment;

Second, there was also the task of fighting corruption and promoting integrity, involving a former leading official who had left An County. His roots were deep, and his influence in An County was considerable. Currently, the organization lacked sufficient evidence. 。This is also one of the major tasks that the organization has assigned Xiao Jingyu to come down and complete. 。Before, the conversation was between Minister Lu and Xiao Jingyu. 。This time, Minister Lu came down in a private capacity and brought up this task again. Xiao Jingyu naturally attached great importance to it, saying: “Minister Lu, about this issue, I have also started to understand… " 。Minister Lu nodded slowly, took another sip of tea, and said: "I know, when you arrived in An County, you would definitely immediately understand the investigation." 。However, the reason I'm here this time is mainly to convey another message to you. The leadership has shortened the deadline for clarifying this issue from one year, as I told you before, to six months. 。This is also the very reason why I made this special trip. 。"Half a year" Xiao Jingyu was quite embarrassed. She had been trying to get to the bottom of things during this time, but compared to what she had hoped to find out, it was still far short. 。Being new to something, unfamiliar with all aspects, figuring out how to break the ice and find the right entry point isn't easy. 。Xiao Jingyu said, "Minister Lu, this deadline is too tight. Is there any room for maneuver"

Minister Lu shook his head slightly and said: "There is no room." 。If there were other options, I wouldn't have made this trip today. 。Xiao Jingyu glanced at Minister Lu's eyes under his hat brim, confirming that Minister Lu was not joking. 。She could only grit her teeth and say, “I’ll do my best to complete the mission.” 。Minister Lu went on to say: "Comrade Jingyu, there's one more thing I must convey to you now. " 。If the problem is not resolved within six months, the organization may send someone else to take over. 。"Lu Jingyu's expression tightened, "Replacement Do you mean...you're not letting me be the County Party Secretary anymore"

Minister Lu nodded slightly, "From this, you should also be able to understand the importance of this matter." 。But don't put too much pressure on yourself, in case you can't find out anything, the organization will also transfer you back to the province, and there won't be any changes to your job level. 。You can rest assured about that. 。The difficulty of this matter is well understood by the organization, so you shouldn't feel too much psychological burden. 。"Xiao Jingyu is a strong woman. There's no room for failure in her personality. She looked at Minister Lu and said, "I will do everything in my power to complete the task assigned by the organization." 。Please rest assured, Minister Lu. 。Minister Lu cast another glance at Xiao Jingyu, feeling sorry for her predicament. Then he stood up and said: "Well, Comrade Jingyu, the purpose of my visit to An County today has been achieved." 。It's time for me to head back to the provincial capital now. 。"Xiao Jingyu said, "Minister Lu, you should have a meal before leaving"

Minister Lu replied, "I'll stay here for a while longer. The more time I spend here, the greater the chance of being discovered. It's best to go back." 。About the meal, I'll treat you to dinner in the provincial capital when there are some developments on your end. 。Xiao Jingyu no longer forced himself: "Then well, Minister Lu, I'll see you off." 。ider, what if they were caught, beaten Everyone's heart grew fearful. 。As the miners and their families were stunned, Song Guoming shook his watch again and said, "Take away the bodies, and get the i...
