An old and airy conference room, like a training place for a township performing arts team during the Cultural Revolution. Although it was repainted with white paint, you can still see some historical and cultural details that cannot be concealed from the mottled window gaps and walls.
From the traces, you can gain insight into the ups and downs of that year.
Several rows of dilapidated chairs were placed under the stage. There was not even a table. On the podium were three beige wooden tables with almost rusty paint. They were somewhat similar to junior high school students' desks, but slightly larger.
Just a little.
Three wooden tables were covered with a red corduroy tablecloth, and two white and yellow rough porcelain teacups were placed on the table. There was not even a microphone for the leader to speak.
The conference room was filled with dozens of people, all crowded together, filled with smoke, and smelling a bit unpleasant. So when several town leaders accompanied Zhou Nan and Ji Kai into the door, the scene where everyone stood up to welcome and applaud was somewhat chaotic.
.
Zhou Nan frowned, but this "displeased" expression disappeared in a flash.
Qiu Gang, deputy secretary of the town committee and secretary of the Disciplinary Inspection Commission, gave up his seat with a respectful smile, and then raised his hands to the audience. The cadres of the town government sat down in confusion, and dozens of pairs of curious eyes were cast on Zhou Nan.
The new county committee member and town committee secretary was so young, which surprised the town officials.
He looks only in his 20s, right? Zhang Zhijun, director of the Ningshan Town Party and Government Office, exchanged an unexpected look with Song Xiaolin, a clerk in the Party and Government Office sitting next to him.
Ji Kai sat on the podium, cleared his throat, made some opening remarks, and then formally introduced Zhou Nan to the party and government cadres of Ningshan Town. After a programmed speech, Zhou Nan briefly gave a few "speeches on taking office."
, he has truly taken office in Ningshan Town.
After seeing Ji Kai off, Zhou Nan stood in the courtyard of the Ningshan Town Party and Government Office and stared at the maroon two-story building in front of him. A wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said he was poor, but this place was also poor.
A little too poor... But let's make peace with what we have come. Fortunately, for Zhou Nan, this is just a starting point, not the end.
Qiu Gang and the three deputy mayors slowly gathered around, while Zhang Zhijun, director of the Party and Government Office, and Song Xiaolin, the clerk, stood quietly on the other side, seeming to want to come forward to say hello to Zhou Nan. It could be seen that several town leaders came over.
He also stopped walking.
Qiu Gang smiled, "Secretary Zhou, look, we..."
When a new leader takes office for the first time, it is logical that he should immediately hold a team meeting to get to know each other generally. But because the mayor Sun Wenge is not here today, the situation seems a bit embarrassing.
"Haha, let's have a short meeting with several members of our team. I also know everyone. Secretary Qiu, please arrange it. In ten minutes, I will settle in first." Zhou Nan nodded and smiled, his expression was emotionless.
Change, it seems that he doesn't care about the presence or absence of Mayor Sun Wenge at all.
"Okay, Secretary Zhou. Zhang Zhijun, come here quickly - have the accommodation arranged for Secretary Zhou been sorted out?" Qiu Gang had actually seen Zhang Zhijun, director of the Party and Government Office, and turned to greet Zhang Zhijun.
.
Zhang Zhijun ran over quickly, and Song Xiaolin also trotted over.
Zhang Zhijun was wrapped in a military coat, took a slight breath and said respectfully to Zhou Nan, "Secretary Zhou, your residence is at the east end of the second floor. I will take you up to have a look. You can see if it is suitable. If not,
We will change the room for the leader immediately."
Zhou Nan nodded gently to Zhang Zhijun and smiled, "Okay, take me to see you."
…
Although this house is a bit crude, it can be seen that Zhang Zhijun also put a lot of thought into it. Not only did he repaint the walls, he also deliberately covered the windows that were originally somewhat ventilated with a layer of plastic sheeting to keep them warm.
Inside the house, there is a single Simmons bed that looks a bit cheap, but it is new, and the bedding on the bed is also new.
It was the beginning of spring when the weather was warm but still cold, and because Ningshan County was located in a mountainous area, the temperature was lower than other areas. Therefore, there was an earthen heating pack in the house. Zhou Nan touched it and found it was warm.
While Zhou Nan was looking at the situation in the room, Song Xiaolin took out an electric stove from under a desk under the window and said softly, "Secretary Zhou, there is an electric stove here. You can turn it on to keep warm at night."
.The earth-heated heater in the room is heated by someone in the agency canteen, but sometimes the temperature may not go up..."
Zhou Nan nodded and glanced back at the young woman in front of him who was wearing a bright red down jacket, tall, with a delicate face and a pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose. She smiled but said nothing.
Zhang Zhijun hurriedly brought in a washbasin stand from outside and said with a smile, "Secretary Zhou, we are poor here and have limited conditions. The leader will see if there are any shortcomings. I will ask Xiao Song to prepare it right away."
Zhou Nan smiled and shook his head, "It's good. I don't need anything. As for eating..."
"There is a government canteen in the town, but the food tastes a little bit worse. If the leaders are not used to it, they can go to the small restaurant across the street to eat. I will pay the bill at the end of the month." Zhang Zhijun said casually, and Zhou Nan raised his eyebrows.
But fell silent.
It seems that the town leaders often go to settle accounts, so that Zhang Zhijun, the office director, has developed a habit of settling accounts at the end of the month.
"I'll go to the meeting later, it's over..." Zhou Nan hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Director Zhang, send a comrade to accompany me around the town..."
Zhang Zhijun was startled, then smiled and said, "Okay, Secretary Zhou, either I or Xiao Song are waiting in the office, which is in the first office on the west side of the corridor. You can just say hello at any time!"
"If the leader at your residence has no objection, I will accompany him to see your office." Zhang Zhijun smiled respectfully. Song Xiaolin stood quietly on one side, secretly looking at Zhou Nan from close range, and saw that Zhou Nan was dressed spotlessly.
Wearing a very straight black girl coat, she has a tall figure and elegant temperament. She can't help but secretly think that she is indeed a cadre from a big city, and she is more stylish than the county party secretary Zhang Qiang.
…
Ten minutes later, Zhou Nan, accompanied by Zhang Zhijun, walked into the conference room just now, where Qiu Gang and others were sitting around smoking. When Zhou Nan came in, he quickly put out his cigarette butts and came up to say hello to Zhou Nan.
There are not many members in the party and government team of Ningshan Town. Including Zhou Nan, there are only 5 people, namely, member of the Standing Committee of the County Committee, Secretary of the Town Committee Zhou Nan, Deputy Secretary of the Town Committee and Mayor Sun Wenge, Deputy Secretary of the Town Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Qiu Gang, and Deputy Mayor Ma Zhong
Ling, Chen Jiangyu and Li Peng are all members of the town party committee.
It must be said that the strength of this team is a bit shabby, but according to what Qiu Gang said when he introduced the situation to him, most of the township teams affiliated to Ningshan County are in this situation. Although the personnel are vacant, there are still empty positions.
No one is willing to do the compilation.
Taking the Ningshan Town team as an example, there were originally six team members, but the former secretary was transferred to another township to serve as secretary, and the town Women's Federation Chairman Wang Jinfeng was transferred to the county to serve as vice-chairman of the Women's Federation, so the number became five.
After talking face-to-face with Qiu Gang for about half an hour, Zhou Nan could tell from the different and subtle attitudes of these subordinates towards him. Even though the Ningshan Town team had a small number of members, it was divided into two
Factions. One is the faction of the former secretary. Qiu Gang, deputy secretary of the town committee, and Ma Zhongling, deputy mayor, should belong to this faction; the other is the team of the mayor Sun Wenge, whose members include deputy mayors Chen Jiangyu and Li Peng.
Qiu Gang and Ma Zhongling have both awe and expectations for Zhou Nan. After the previous secretary was transferred, they must "run in" with the new secretary as soon as possible, otherwise they will be completely suppressed by Sun Wenge, and there will be no more
There was room for improvement. But because Zhou Nan had just arrived, the two of them didn't know Zhou Nan well, so they didn't dare or couldn't act too eager.
The deputy mayors Li Peng and Chen Jiangyu were somewhat repelled by Zhou Nan because of Sun Wenge.
By this time, Zhou Nan had fully understood the current situation: after the previous secretary was transferred, the town mayor Sun Wenge was supposed to take over as the secretary of the town party committee and also serve as the standing committee member of the county party committee. But unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway.
, the superiors suddenly sent a town committee secretary down, which naturally made Sun Wenge feel very unhappy.
That's why Sun Wenge chose to "avoid" Zhou Nan as the new town party secretary when he took office... Do you want to use this to demonstrate to yourself? Or to express your attitude? Zhou Nan secretly sneered in his heart.
.
He has always been the kind of person who doesn't want to cause trouble but is not afraid of it. Since Sun Wenge wants to jump, let him jump to his heart's content - let's see if he, a local snake, can suppress himself, a dragon crossing the river...
…When Zhou Nan thought of this, the smile on his lips became stronger.
Qiu Gang, the deputy secretary of the town committee who was sitting aside and carefully observing the changes in his expression, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. Somehow, although the new secretary Zhou Nan was young, he gave Qiu Gang the feeling of being very mature and steady.
Qiu Gang secretly speculated on Zhou Nan's thoughts, and the faint expectation in his heart became stronger.
Because the county had a backstage, Sun Wenge was too powerful in Ningshan Town and almost dominated the sky with one hand. The former town committee secretary was angry because Sun Wenge was too domineering, so he took the initiative to ask for transfer from the county committee. And he was transferred.
After that, Sun Wenge became even more arrogant, and the Ningshan Town team became his one-man talking hall.
Although Qiu Gang and Ma Zhongling were on the "opposite side" of him, they lost their backbone because the old secretary was transferred away, and because Sun Wenge's backer was the county magistrate Sun Fuli, they were in conflict with each other.
, neither of them dared to say anything.
Sun Wenge and Sun Fuli are not related, but they are "fellow villagers" in the same village. Sun Fuli started as a township cadre and has been the head of Ningshan County. He has been operating in Ningshan County for more than ten years. The network of relationships is intricate and deep-rooted.
