() Xiao Zijian had a faint smile on his face.

Although he claims to be good at observation and has studied psychology, Xiang Tianliang still can't read the smile on Xiao Zijian's face.

This is the smile of a senior bureaucrat who has been doing organizational work for half his life. You can describe it as colorful, or as light as water, but you just can't understand what it means.

Xiao Zijian: "Tianliang, you are a master, you can guess this new friend I am talking about."

Xiang Tianliang: "Do I know him?"

Xiao Zijian: "You know him."

Xiang Tianliang: "In our Binhai County."

Xiao Zijian: "Not bad."

Xiang Tianliang: "There are not many people who can be ceremoniously introduced by you and can be your and my friends at the same time. Those are the people in the two teams in the county."

Xiao Zijian: "That's right."

Xiang Tianliang: "The only person who is qualified to be a new friend here at the county government is Deputy County Magistrate Chen Ruiqing, but he is my roommate at the city party school, so the new friend you are talking about is not here at the county government.

"

Xiao Zijian: "So far, your guesses have been correct."

Xiang Tianliang: "New friends must be new. In the county standing committee, the people who stand on our side are certainly not new friends. The five on the other side, the county magistrate Chen Letian and the county party committee's United Front Work Director Gao Yongqing, are old people.

Therefore, the new friends you are talking about can only be Liao Zhongwen, Secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, Jiao Zhengxiu, Organization Director of the County Party Committee, or Zhou Ting, Director of the County Party Committee Office."

Xiao Zijian: "Haha, you are almost close to the target."

Xiang Tianliang: "Guess three times and one guess, Lao Xiao, you've stumped me."

Xiao Zijian: "Excessive humility is pride."

Xiang Tianliang: "It's not Zhou Ting, director of the county party committee office, because he was personally sent by Zhang Hong, secretary of the municipal party committee. So far, you, Lao Xiao, have not dared to be his friend."

Xiao Zijian: "Please continue."

Xiang Tianliang: "It could be Jiao Zhengxiu, the county party committee's organization director, because you are a full-time deputy secretary, in charge of party and mass work, and you are also the former organization director. You have more contact with each other than with others."

Xiao Zijian: "Don't say it's possible, please make it clear yes or no."

Xiang Tianliang: "But, I guess the new friend you are talking about is Liao Zhongwen, secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Xiao Zijian: "Are you sure?"

Xiang Tianliang: "I confirm."

Xiao Zijian: "What's your reason?"

Xiang Tianliang: "Because you have a common hobby, fishing. You go fishing at the beach two or three times a week. There should be more opportunities for communication."

Xiao Zijian: "Haha, you did a good job in intelligence work."

Xiang Tianliang: "Haha, I heard it from the fisherman."

Xiao Zijian: "Unfortunately, you guessed wrong."

Xiang Tianliang: "Old Xiao, I can't."

Xiao Zijian: "The new friend I'm talking about is Jiao Zhengxiu, the organization director of the county party committee."

After saying that, Xiao Zijian looked at Xiang Tianliang, with the faint smile still on his face.

The new friend Xiao Zijian mentioned turned out to be Jiao Zhengxiu, the organization director of the county party committee. Xiang Tianliang miscalculated.

Although he was shocked, Xiang Tianliang tried his best to pretend to be calm. He didn't want Xiao Zijian to see too clearly.

"It's dawn, a little unexpected."

Facing Xiao Zijian's gaze, Xiang Tianliang readily admitted, "Yes, it's a bit unexpected."

Jiao Zhengxiu was originally the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. He was ranked low and did not have much strength. The reason why he was sent to Binhai was entirely because of the strong recommendation of the current Municipal Party Committee Organization Director Yu Shengchun.

Yu Shengchun arranged for Jiao Zhengxiu to be sent to Binhai County with very obvious intentions. Just like Deputy Mayor Xu Xiping arranged for Deputy County Magistrate Chen Ruiqing, they were both here for Xiang Tianliang.

Not only against Xiang Tianliang, Yu Shengchun and Xu Xiping also wanted to deal with their wives Zhang Xiaoya and Chen Meilan.

Xiang Tianliang observed and thought about Jiao Zhengxiu and found that he and Shao Sanhe had a lot in common. They were both former soldiers, and both were honest middle-aged men. To get ahead, Shao Sanhe relied on the east wind from Xiangtianming, while Jiao Zhengxiu relied on Yu Shengchun's support.

However, the seemingly honest and honest Jiao Zhengxiu can become the "new friend" of the old fox-like Xiao Zijian, which is in line with the old saying, a person cannot be judged by his appearance, and the sea cannot be measured.

Xiao Zijian looked at Xiang Tianliang and said, "Tianliang, to be honest, it's not surprising at all."

"Really?" Xiang Tianliang smiled faintly and quickly regained his composure.

Xiao Zijian said, "I'll tell you the truth. After the new team took office, the three people who approached me and wanted to strengthen our relationship were the three people you just mentioned, Liao Zhongwen, Secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, Jiao Zhengxiu, Organization Director of the County Party Committee, and Zhou Ting, Director of the County Party Committee Office." , Regarding Zhou Ting, I ignored him, Liao Zhongwen, he is a member of Li Changsheng, secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. I have always had no good impression of Li Changsheng, and Li Changsheng also disliked me. Therefore, I did not go to the olive branch extended by Liao Zhongwen at all. I mean, fishing is purely a personal hobby. When fishing, we only talk about fishing and not politics."

Xiang Tianliang listened and sighed in his heart. This is the difference between male leaders and female leaders. Xiao Zijian can go fishing with Liao Zhongwen and make friends with Jiao Zhengxiu, but it is not convenient for Chen Meilan. What's more, with Xiang Tianliang here, Chen Meilan He has almost no contact with other men outside of eight hours.

"Old Xiao, you are quite capable." Xiang Tianliang raised his thumb.

Xiao Zijian said with a smile, "When I heard this, it didn't seem like he was praising me."

"No, no, no." Xiang Tianliang said half-seriously, "I think that as long as you win one of the three, you will be stronger than County Magistrate Chen."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense." Xiao Zijian scolded with a smile, "I know my position very well. As the third in command, I must correct my position."

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "Old Xiao, tell me about Minister Jiao Zhengxiu."

"You're interested." Xiao Zijian said with a smile on his face.

"Nonsense, didn't you say he was coming? I have to understand."

Xiao Zijian smiled and said: "Actually, it's not complicated. The organization department of the municipal party committee originally had one chief and four deputies. Yu Shengchun was the executive deputy director, ranked second, and Jiao Zhengxiu was a cadre transferred from the military, ranked last, and the two We worked together for less than a year and a half, and we didn’t have many interactions. Jiao Zhengxiu was in charge of miscellaneous tasks in the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. In fact, he was half-idle, and he was not involved in cadre work at all.”

This situation is quite common. Xiang Tianliang discovered this interesting phenomenon when he was working as a temporary worker in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. In every department, there is a deputy who does nothing and has no actual power. As for why this happened, he still couldn't figure it out.

"Old Xiao, then I have to congratulate you." Xiang Tianliang smiled.

Xiao Zijian emphasized: "It should be a joy, because he will also be your new friend."

"That's good." Xiang Tianliang's attitude was noncommittal. Friends in the officialdom and friends recognized by society are not the same. There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. There have been too many tragedies caused by friends. .

"Tianliang, you are a little too worried." Xiao Zijian looked at Xiang Tianliang.

"I'm not that narrow-minded."

"You have, a little bit."

Xiang Tianliang smiled softly, "Old Xiao, if you insist that I have it, then I will."

Xiang Tianliang felt a little unhappy because he wanted to worry too much. Xiao Zijian said he wanted to correct his position, but in fact he didn't. He was about to turn fifty in a blink of an eye. At the age of knowing his destiny, he was at the top of the deputy director level. Under the current organizational regulations, there is almost no room for advancement.

In Xiang Tianliang's mind, Xiao Zijian's future official career should be like this. After his term as deputy secretary expires, he will step down and become the chairman of the county CPPCC, and retire with full director-level treatment.

Now Xiao Zijian is actually dependent on secretary Chen Meilan, but he took the initiative to accept Jiao Zhengxiu, which shows that he is still weak.

We must get to know Xiao Zijian again, Xiang Tianliang said to himself in his heart.

Xiao Zijian smiled and said: "Don't be stunned. Although it's me who's treating you today, it's actually Jiao Zhengxiu who invited you."

"Please, Lao Xiao, please stop being ridiculous." Xiang Tianliang also smiled.

Xiao Zijian nodded and said, "Really, he wanted to date you, but you wrapped yourself up too tightly, so you asked me to be the middleman."

Xiang Tianliang wouldn't believe it even to death. The more Xiao Zijian said this, the more doubts he felt in his heart.

Of course, even if he has many doubts, Xiang Tianliang does not dare to reveal too much. In the current political situation of Binhai County, if the second Chen, Secretary Chen Meilan and County Magistrate Chen Letian are the mainstream, Xiao Zijian is the Dinghai Shenzhen. He stands beside Chen Meilan In the camp, Chen Letian didn't dare to make any changes.

However, Xiang Tianliang had to show something. If he didn't show anything at all, it would not be Xiang Tianliang, but it would arouse Xiao Zijian's paranoia.

Xiang Tianliang asked curiously: "Lao Xiao, why did Minister Jiao come to me through you?"

Xiao Zijian smiled and said: "In addition to what I said, you wrapped yourself too tightly, there is another important reason."

"What important reason."

Xiao Zijian lowered his voice and said: "As the organization minister, he has almost no idea about how to be a good organization minister."

"This...can't." Xiang Tianliang was a little surprised, how could this be possible?

Nodding, Xiao Zijian said, "Really, when he was in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, he was a marginal person and basically didn't do anything. This time he was transferred to Binhai County very suddenly, so he basically stayed put after taking office because he was very concerned about the organization. I really don’t know much about the entire work process and I’m afraid of making mistakes.”

"Then what's the meaning of today's tea party?" Xiang Tianliang looked at Xiao Zijian and asked.

"It's two things combined." Xiao Zijian said, "On the one hand, he has already mentioned to me that he wants to invite you to come out and sit down. On the other hand, he wants to ask me about organizational work, so I will take advantage of this. If you want me to discuss with you the candidate for the director of the County Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau, I will simply act as host and invite you and him over."

Xiang Tianliang smiled and nodded, "Old Xiao, you have good intentions. I thank you in advance."

Xiao Zijian was slightly startled, and sighed in his heart. He was obedient, but Xiang Tianliang was still too worried.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Xiang Tianliang and Xiao Zijian both stood up.

"Please come in." Xiao Zijian said towards the door.
