Chen Dong smiled faintly, "Old Zhang, where did this news come from? Is it reliable or not..."
"I think it's unlikely. Comrade Zhou Nan has only been in the county for a short period of time. He has just opened up the situation in Ningshan Town. The city shouldn't just adjust him like this, right?"
"This market logistics project was promoted by him. Once he leaves, there is no guarantee that this project will have problems... I think that even if the city wants to adjust his position, it will at least have to wait for the construction of this project.
After you get up!"
"I heard that Zhou Nan has just obtained some subsidies from Secretary Feng and Mayor Ma of the city to build roads for Kaoshan Village... Looking at his attitude, it doesn't look like he is about to be transferred."
"Besides, Comrade Zhou Nan can come to work in the county government. This will strengthen the strength of our county government team. We should be happy."
"You hypocritical guy, you are obviously very unhappy, but you still have to pretend to be like this." Zhang Dazhong curled his lips and sneered, "Old Chen, it's hard to say... I also heard that Comrade Zhou Nan recently talked to the city
We have close contacts with the leaders, especially with Secretary Feng of the Municipal Party Committee..."
The corner of Chen Dong's mouth twitched inadvertently, but he smiled calmly and said nothing more.
Chen Dong is different from Zhang Dazhong. He has a deep character and a deep government. He only speaks a few words when meeting people. He has a low-key style, never talks about his words to death, and never offends others. Among the core leaders of Ningshan County, he is
The least obvious one.
But it is often people like Chen Dong who are particularly sensitive to certain things and take their own power and position very seriously.
Although he didn't say it, he actually had a big grudge in his heart. As a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Zhou Nan wanted to come to the county government as the deputy county magistrate. This made it clear that he wanted to work with him as the executive deputy county magistrate.
Struggle for power - this boy is bullying others too much!
Even if Chen Dong doesn't mind it himself, others will think so.
Even if the outside world doesn't think so, there is naturally room for power disputes when two standing committee members and deputy county magistrates work together.
Chen Dong didn't believe that the leaders above would fail to consider this issue - in this case, it still has such an arrangement, which can only show that Zhou Nan is here to take his position. If he fails, he will be transferred away from Ning by the same level.
Shan, go to some Qingshui yamen in the city and get a deputy position with no water.
If that's the case, that would be tragic.
And this is not without precedent. Chen Dong himself actually rose to the position in this way. He took over the position of the former executive deputy county magistrate, and the latter was transferred to the vice chairman of the Ningnan City Social Science Federation. Although he was also the deputy
At the deputy county level, there is a huge difference in political status and power between the executive deputy county magistrate and the vice chairman of the Federation of Social Science and Technology.
Could it be that the cycle of fate will roll back again and it will be my turn again?
When he thought of this, Chen Dong's mood became very bad, and he couldn't help but feel a strong resentment against Zhou Nan in his heart.
Zhang Dazhong's fanning the flames obviously had an effect. Although Chen Dong didn't show it on the surface, Zhang Dazhong had been working with him for so many years and knew very well Chen Dong's temperament of not saying anything but holding grudges in his heart.
Although Chen Dong is low-key, he holds grudges very much.
Zhang Dazhong left gloatingly, while Chen Dong looked at Zhang Dazhong's leaving figure and couldn't help but sneered lowly, strode over, and immediately closed his office door tightly, his face instantly darkened.
How could Zhang Dazhong's intention of fanning the flames be hidden from the scheming Chen Dong? But no matter what Zhang Dazhong's purpose was, he always told the truth. Once Zhou Nan took office, his power and authority as the executive deputy county magistrate would be destroyed.
To be subject to invisible impacts.
In fact, the worst result is that it won't be long before he is kicked out of the core of power in Ningshan County and becomes a victim of Zhou Nan's overthrow.
No, absolutely can't be like this, absolutely can't be the victim of someone else's position! Chen Dong gritted his teeth.
With a gloomy face, he pondered for a long time, and then he picked up the phone and called a familiar leader in the city. He inquired about it from the side, and the results confirmed that this was indeed the case. Not long ago, he studied cadres.
At that time, Secretary Feng of the Municipal Party Committee mentioned Zhou Nan's matter to the Standing Committee, but other Standing Committee members did not raise any objection.
After putting down the phone, Chen Dong's face became even more gloomy, almost making him drink water.
Zhou Nan would never have thought that such a piece of gossip about his upcoming promotion would create a powerful enemy for him in the county - Executive Deputy County Magistrate Chen Dong is no better than Zhang Dazhong, a man with deep and vicious methods.
, being "held a grudge" by this person is not a good thing.
The next morning, Ma Zhongling took the application report for road construction subsidies from Ningshan Town to the county to find the county magistrate in charge for his signature. Although the right to issue this subsidy rests with the city, Mayor Ma Liguo also stated verbally that
I expressed my agreement, but the basic procedures still need to be completed.
The application must be reported from the town to the county. After approval by the county, it will be reported to the city. After approval by the city leader in charge, the application will be forwarded to the city transportation bureau for approval, and then allotment will be made.
This process can be long or short, it can be completed in a few days, or it can drag on for several months or even longer. With the efficiency of Ningnan's officialdom, it can even drag on for half a year.
The person in charge of transportation is Chen Dong, the executive deputy county magistrate.
Chen Dong was reviewing some documents in the office. Someone knocked on the door and said in a deep voice, "Come in."
Ma Zhongling opened the door and walked in with a respectful smile and said, "County Magistrate Chen..."
Chen Dong raised his head and glanced at Ma Zhongling, smiling lightly, "Mayor Ma? Come, please sit down. Do you have anything to do with me?"
"County Magistrate Chen, our town has applied for a transportation and road construction subsidy from the city. This is the application report filed by our town... Please review and approve it." Ma Zhongling followed Zhou Nan's order to go through the procedure in person, asking for help.
People, of course, have a very respectful and respectful attitude.
Chen Dong said oh, glanced at the application from Ningshan Town, smiled lightly and said, "Old Ma, although the city has road construction subsidies, you also know that there are too many people to submit the application.
The higher-ups can approve it and give you money."
Ma Zhongling smiled respectfully and said, "County Magistrate Chen, Secretary Zhou has already tried to win over Mayor Ma, and Mayor Ma nodded and agreed to allocate some funds to us to support our road construction, so..."
Chen Dong looked up at Ma Zhongling, but the smile on his face dissipated little by little, "Secretary Zhou is very energetic. He went beyond the county and directly approached the city leaders... In this case, why apply?
Oh, just ask Mayor Ma to give instructions and the Municipal Transportation Bureau will pay."
Chen Dong's attitude seemed a bit abrupt.
Ordinarily, there is no need for him, the executive deputy county magistrate, to stand in the way of something that Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee, has already approved. He is just signing a word on the application report.
"County Chief Chen, although the leader has agreed, the procedures still have to be followed. Haha, please ask the leader for approval." Ma Zhongling carefully observed Chen Dong's face and whispered.
Chen Dong suddenly pushed the application in front of him, his voice slightly cold, "Secretary Zhang has approved it, so I don't need to sign it. You can take it directly to the Transportation Bureau and let the County Transportation Bureau handle it."
After saying that, Chen Dong handed the application to Ma Zhongling, immersed himself in processing the documents on hand, and never spoke to Ma Zhongling again.
Ma Zhongling stood there awkwardly, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. He hesitated for a few minutes, and then left quietly.
He understood what the problem was - the county party committee secretary had already approved the application from Ningshan Town, which obviously annoyed Chen Dong.
Now that the secretary of the county party committee has approved it, why do you come to me as the leader in charge? Are you trying to use the secretary of the county party committee to suppress me, the executive deputy county magistrate?
Ma Zhongling sighed. When he came, he felt something was wrong, and was afraid that Chen Dong would find fault. In fact, this kind of application does not need the approval of the county party secretary, it must be signed by the county magistrate in charge. But when Zhou Nan handed the application to him
, Zhang Qiang had already signed it, and there was nothing he could do.
According to the procedure, if Chen Dong does not sign, the County Transportation Bureau will not accept the application. If the County Transportation Bureau does not go through the procedures, the application cannot be reported to the city.
Depressed, Ma Zhongling returned to town with his application and hurried to Zhou Nan's office. Seeing that Zhang Zhijun was discussing something with Zhou Nan, he knocked on the door and walked in.
"Secretary Zhou."
Zhou Nan looked up at Ma Zhongling and smiled slightly, "Old Ma, are you back? Have you completed the procedures?"
Ma Zhongling smiled bitterly and handed over the application in his hand, and said softly, "Secretary Zhou, County Magistrate Chen doesn't want to sign... He said that since Secretary Zhang signed it, he didn't need to sign it again, and asked me to go directly to the county
The Transportation Bureau handled it. But without his signature as the leader in charge, the Transportation Bureau would not dare to accept it for us..."
Zhou Nan was startled and his face looked a little unsightly.
He felt a little strange, how could Chen Dong be like this?
Because this time he applied for subsidies, he requested special funds from the city leaders, and it was not the normal application route. Therefore, the secretary of the county party committee had to sign and confirm that the situation was true, and then go through the basic procedures. Logically speaking, Chen Dong would not understand this.
, why did he refuse to sign?
Is it boring? You think you haven’t communicated with him in advance? Is it interesting to play with this kind of unnecessary bureaucracy?
Zhou Nan was very unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face. He pondered for a moment and said calmly, "I'll go find County Magistrate Chen. Leave the report here first."
Four days later, the county party committee held a standing committee meeting. This time, the standing committee had no clear agenda. It was a routine meeting to arrange work for the second half of the year. Each standing committee member reported on their work according to their level and ranking. Afterwards, Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee, made a summary.
speak.
"Comrades, this year is a critical year for our Ningshan County to promote economic development... Our county has launched a new market logistics project, and next, the garment industrial park project led by the city will also be launched.
In Ningshan, construction is expected to start at the end of this month..."
"At the same time, Comrade Zhou Nan has also negotiated an ecological agriculture project with people from Sky Group... Comrade Zhou Nan, you must hurry up and apply for transportation subsidies from the city. Once the funds from the city are in place, the county will allocate them to you.
One yuan should be enough. We will try to start road construction in early September, and this ecological agriculture project will enter a substantial operational stage before the end of the year."
Having said this, Zhang Qiang paused slightly, because when he saw Zhou Nan's expression, he seemed to have something to say.
During the meeting, Zhou Nan's face was cold, which showed that he was in a bad mood.
That day he called Chen Dong to communicate, but Chen Dong did not refuse directly. So Ma Zhongling went to Chen Dong again. This time Chen Dong left the application, but did not sign it immediately, saying that it would be postponed for two days.
Say it again.
As a result, after waiting for several days, the County Transportation Bureau did not receive Chen Dong's approved application for Ningshan Town. Ma Zhongling was anxious and did not dare to urge Chen Dong, so he could only report to Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan came to the county committee to hold a standing committee meeting today. Before the meeting, he met with Chen Dong alone. Chen Dong gave him a bureaucratic tone, saying that he had been too busy recently to take care of this matter.
After Zhou Nan heard this, he knew that Chen Dong was determined to make things difficult for him.
But although he was full of anger, at this time, he couldn't let it out, let alone fall out with Chen Dong, the executive deputy county magistrate.
The city has already talked to him, and the appointment of the organization to nominate him as deputy county magistrate of Ningshan County will be completed in at least another month. If at this time, Zhou Nan has "disagreements" with important leaders of the county, although it is not
As for affecting the appointment, it will also have a bad negative impact on him personally.
People will say behind his back that he is too complacent and does not take the county leaders seriously. In Ningshan County, his bad relationship with Sun Fuli and Zhang Dazhong is a matter on the table. Once he has bad relations with Chen Dong again,
It is not conducive to his future foothold in Ningshan County officialdom.
Moreover, Chen Dong will be changed to deputy secretary of the county party committee next, which is also an important position of power. There is no need to make the relationship with Chen Dong too tense over such a trivial matter.
Based on various considerations, Zhou Nan chose not to have a direct conflict with Chen Dong, but to retreat in order to avoid making too many enemies in Ningshan.
Seeing Zhang Qiang looking at him, Zhou Nan's cold expression "thawed" in an instant, and a calm smile slowly appeared. Chen Dong, who was sitting opposite him and had been secretly observing the changes in his expression, felt nervous.
It feels very unexpected.
Suppressing Ningshan Town's application and refusing to sign it was definitely not because of Zhang Qiang's taste, but Chen Dong's trick. In other words, it was a trap and trap he set for Zhou Nan, trying to make Zhou Nan himself
Jump in.
He wished that Zhou Nan would fall out with him and have a stalemate with him. Once Zhou Nan did this, he would cause invisible rejection from other county leaders, and might even make the higher-ups resent him.
But Zhou Nan did not fall into his trap and acted very calmly. This made Chen Dong surprised, but also felt a little disappointed, and at the same time he became more wary of Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan's aura and calm demeanor were extremely inconsistent with his age. For the first time, Chen Dong felt that he was not simple and that he was not as young and aggressive as rumored.
"Secretary Zhou, although the city leaders have expressed their opinion and agreed to allocate a sum of funds to us, after all, we have to go through the formalities and procedures, which will take time, and it may not be approved in a short time." Zhou Nan smiled softly,
"Therefore, I believe that the county's funds should be allocated first, and the road can be built first, while waiting for the city's allocation."
"I communicated with Mr. Zhang of Sky Group, and they agreed to help us advance road construction funds when necessary. As long as the money from the city arrives, it will be returned to them."
"The situation this year is good...the earlier the project is completed, the earlier the benefits will be seen. Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to work while waiting..." Zhou Nan smiled and waved his hand, "This is my idea."
Zhang Qiang nodded and said loudly, "Well, that's how it should be. I think it's like this. If you need to apply for funds from the city, just follow the procedures. The county will allocate part of the funds first, and you can start repairing the road first! Grind it!
The sword is as good as the woodcutter!"
After saying that, Zhang Qiang turned to look at Chen Dong and said with a faint smile, "Old Chen, please implement this matter and allocate funds from the county as soon as possible. The sooner the better!"
Chen Dong raised his eyebrows and inadvertently twitched the corners of his mouth, but in front of everyone, he did not dare to refute the county party secretary's face, so he could only nod and agree.
It's just hard to say how long it will take for his "implementation" to continue.
After the meeting, Zhang Qiang left Zhou Nan alone, and the two went to Zhang Qiang's office side by side. When Chen Dong left the conference room door, he glanced at the two people's backs as they walked away in the corridor, and couldn't help but snorted softly.
One sound.
Walking into Zhang Qiang's office, the two of them sat face to face on the sofa. Zhang Qiang glanced at Zhou Nan and couldn't help but smile, "Comrade Zhou Nan, you seem to be very calm recently... This is somewhat inconsistent with your past vigorous and resolute style.
.”
Zhou Nan smiled slightly, knowing in his heart that Chen Dong's reaction would definitely not be hidden from the eyes of Zhang Qiang, an old fox.
Zhang Qiang actually knew why Chen Dong was so "awkward". But as the secretary of the county party committee, he couldn't interfere too much in this kind of thing. He originally wanted to be the one to be the one when Zhou Nan and Chen Dong were having too much trouble.
Once a firefighter, to his surprise, Zhou Nan didn't give him this chance.
"Haha, there is no need to rush. Some things should be done slowly. Our application is still being reviewed and approved by County Magistrate Chen. It is estimated that it will take some time to report to the city, so let's build this road first and keep working on it.
Waiting is not an option. Thank you Secretary Zhang for your support."
Zhang Qiang pondered thoughtfully for a moment, smiled playfully, and nodded, "Well, Comrade Zhou Nan, this is how we should do things. We must act vigorously and resolutely, but also take the overall situation into consideration... Let's wait a few more days. We will tell you in two days.
Maybe your appointment will come soon."
Zhou Nan's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Zhang Qiang's hint.
Back in town, Zhou Nan called Ma Zhongling over with a phone call.
"Secretary Zhou." Ma Zhongling walked in with a smile and sat down on Zhou Nan's sofa.
"Lao Ma, I reported to Secretary Zhang that there is no way for us to wait blindly... In this case, you should organize the construction team immediately, drive into the site first, and repair the road first. You can find the county construction and installation company,
Let them do it." Zhou Nan didn't waste any time and started arranging the work directly.
Ma Zhongling immediately sat up from the sofa and said hesitantly, "Secretary Zhou, start repairs before the funds are in place? This..."
"There is definitely no problem with the funds. It just takes a while...Okay, the county will allocate part of the funds first. You tell the leaders of the construction and installation company that the road will be repaired first. As for the project payment, we will not pay a penny.
Less of them!”
Ma Zhongling said oh. Although he still had some "questions" in his heart, he didn't say anything else. Instead, he left Zhou Nan's office directly and went to call the construction team of the construction and installation company.
