At noon, Qiu Gang, deputy secretary-general of the county government, took the driver sent by the county government to pick up Zhou Nan at the airport.
Looking at Qiu Gang's faintly excited expression, Zhou Nan couldn't help but feel a little excited. In any case, being appointed as county magistrate this time was a major progress in his official career and was of great significance.
From now on, he can advance his policy strategy without any restrictions as the chief executive. Although there is a county party secretary above him, when it comes to specific economic work and administrative work, county party secretary Sun Xiang will not interfere too much.
His decree.
What Sun Xiang wanted was the management and appointment power of the county's cadres, while what Zhou Nan wanted was mostly work affairs power. One wanted personal power, and the other wanted management power. There would not be much conflict between the two. But later
Facts have also proved that although Zhou Nan and Sun Xiang have not been working together as a team for a long time, overall the atmosphere is quite friendly and harmonious.
"Leader, do you think you should return to the county or..." Qiu Gang calmed down, turned around from the passenger seat and smiled respectfully at Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan pondered for a moment, smiled and waved his hand, "Lao Qiu, I have to go to the city first... First, I have to report to the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Feng and Mayor Ma, haha. Besides, the Municipal Party Committee Office also informed me that it was yes.
Director Zhou from the Organization Department of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee wants to talk to me about the organization on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee."
"Okay, leader, then I will accompany him to have something to eat first, and then we will go directly to the city." Qiu Gang said with a smile.
"I ate on the plane. If you are not too hungry, then we will go directly to the city and don't waste time on the road." Zhou Nan shook his head.
"By the way, how is the situation in the county lately? Are there any new developments?" Zhou Nan asked with a smile.
Qiu Gang hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth. As a person around Zhou Nan, if he didn't have this awareness, he would obviously be somewhat incompetent.
"Leader, nothing has changed in the county. If there is any news, it is that not long ago, news suddenly spread in the county that you were going to be transferred to Mengjiawan to be the secretary of the Guang County Party Committee. Haha, they are all rumors, always
Some people are so full that they go for a walk behind their backs. This nonsense..."
Zhou Nan smiled when he heard this, "Lao Qiu, does anyone in the county believe it? What do the county leaders think?"
Qiu Gang smiled respectfully, "None of the other leaders said anything. However, Secretary Sun seemed to believe it... I remember he said a few words to me at that time, saying that no matter what, personal political future is the most important...
"
Zhou Nan said oh.
"It's like this. I met Secretary Ye from Mengjiawan two days ago. He half-jokingly asked me if I wanted to work in Mengjiawan. I didn't pay much attention at the time and just laughed it off... Who
I don’t know that this matter has been spread so wildly in the county.”
"Secretary of the county party committee... Lao Qiu, you have been in the government for so many years. I have never been a county magistrate, but directly a secretary of the county party committee. How is this possible? Secretary Ye of Mengjiawan is just a joke. These
People spreading rumors are baseless and have no brains!"
Zhou Nan smiled and explained a few words to Qiu Gang intentionally or unintentionally. He knew that the main leaders of the municipal party committee would definitely not take the initiative to mention this matter again, and Sun Xiang and others in the county would not ask him face to face, but he had to give advice on this matter.
Give a "reply" to prove your attitude - this time I chatted with Qiu Gang for a few words, even if it was said through Qiu Gang's mouth.
With Qiu Gang's "scheming", it is natural to understand why Zhou Nan took the initiative to talk to him about this. After returning to the county, he will definitely "spread" Zhou Nan's words.
"By the way, leader, Gong Xiangyang has been promoted to deputy county magistrate, do you understand?" Qiu Gang suddenly whispered again.
Zhou Nan was startled, "Have you mentioned it? This time? Along with my appointment and Secretary Sun's appointment? Haha... Comrade Xiang Yang has worked hard for so many years, it's time to mention it."
Zhou Nan knew that Gong Xiangyang was going to be the deputy county magistrate. When Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee, recommended Gong Xiangyang to the city, he also asked Zhou Nan for his opinion. However, Zhou Nan did not expect that it would happen so soon.
"From this, it seems that Gong Xiangyang also has a backend in the city. Otherwise, the promotion matter would not go so smoothly." Zhou Nan thought to himself, but did not say it out loud. With his identity and status, such a
The words can only pass through my mind for a moment.
The car was speeding. On the road, Zhou Nan didn't speak anymore, and Qiu Gang didn't dare to say anything, just sat there silently.
Zhou Nan can actually understand Qiu Gang's current mood. As the deputy director of the county government office and a confidant of the new county magistrate, Qiu Gang has enough "confidence" to take over Gong Xiangyang's job and serve as the secretary-general of the county government and the director of the county government office.
The director and secretary-general of the county government office is actually the "big secretary" serving the county magistrate. He must be a trusted official of the county magistrate. For this position, Qiu Gang can take up the post immediately with just a word from Zhou Nan.
Seeing that the car was about to enter the city of Ningnan, Zhou Nan suddenly smiled and said, "Lao Qiu, since Gong Xiangyang mentioned it, the next step is to catch up on the county government's work. You have been here for a while to do the county government's work.
It’s been time, and you should be familiar with the work.”
For Zhou Nan, being able to say such words is equivalent to a very obvious hint. If Qiu Gang still can't understand, then he is a fool. Although Qiu Gang is somewhat sure in his heart, because Zhou Nan has always been a person who pays attention and considers
A leader whose subordinates have grown and progressed, but now that I heard Zhou Nan’s personal commitment, I was still very excited and happy.
It is important to know that being able to sit on the position of county secretary-general is crucial to his future development. As long as Zhou Nan takes another step forward in the future, he may cross the threshold of deputy county level and become a leading cadre at the county level.
, or even further.
As long as he can always share the work pressure with Zhou Nan and always gain Zhou Nan's trust, as Zhou Nan gradually gets promoted, his future will be greatly guaranteed.
"Thank you, leader, for your concern and training for me. I will definitely..." Qiu just wanted to express his stance and say a few polite words, but Zhou Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, I believe you, Lao Qiu, can do a good job.
.By the way, you will be sure to send it to the municipal party committee in a while. You go buy some things for me, and then come back to pick me up."
Qiu Gang quickly asked respectfully, "Okay, what does the leader want to buy?"
"Buy some cigarettes, alcohol, etc. I want to see Mayor Zhang." Zhou Nan said with a smile.
Qiu Gang immediately understood that Zhou Nan was going to visit Zhang Qiang, the former county party secretary who had just taken office as deputy mayor of Ningnan City, so he understood and said nothing more.
Qiu Gang sent Zhou Nan to the municipal party committee compound, and then took the driver to a supermarket in Ningnan to buy gifts. Zhou Nan walked lightly onto the agency building, and met Zhen Jun, chief of the first cadre section of the Organization Department, on the stairs.
Zhen Jun suddenly saw Zhou Nan in the government building. He couldn't help but smiled in surprise and took the initiative to say hello, "County Magistrate Zhou, you are here... Oh, is it Minister Zhou who wants to organize a talk with you?"
"Hello, Section Chief Zhen. Yes, I'm here to report my work to the leaders of the municipal party committee. Is Minister Zhou here?" Zhou Nan smiled and shook hands with Mr. Zhen.
Zhen Jun pointed to the third floor, which is where all the leaders at the standing committee level of the Municipal Party Committee work together. He smiled and said, "The leaders are all here. Minister Zhou is also here. There should be no guests at the moment."
"Okay, I'll report to Minister Zhou, you're busy." Zhou Nan smiled and walked upstairs.
Zhen Jun turned to look at Zhou Nan's back as he walked up the stairs, with a hint of envy in his eyes. The man in front of him was so young and had already become the head of a county. His work ability was outstanding, and his background energy was so strong. In the future,
The development can be imagined.
An ordinary member of the Organization Department who followed Zhen Jun downstairs smiled and lowered his voice, "Chief Zhen, I heard that Mengjiawan was going to get him to be the county party secretary... As it turned out, they didn't have time to do it yet.
Secretary Feng took action in advance..."
Zhen Jun glared at the man and said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense. The leadership's matters are not something we can discuss. Watch your mouth from now on..."
However, even though he reprimanded his subordinates, as the cadre section chief of the Organization Department, Zhen Jun knew better than anyone else what was going on with the municipal party committee's appointment of Zhou Nan to the front line. After all, this organization is a special-purpose organization.
The appointment was completed personally by him, the cadre and section chief.
Zhou Nan went up to the third floor and hesitated at the entrance of the stairs. He didn't know whether to go to the Organization Minister Zhou Lie or the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Feng Botao and the Mayor Ma Liguo first.
After hesitating for a long time, he decided to go to work first - to accept the organizational talk from the organization minister. He strode to the door of Zhou Jilie's office and was about to knock on the door when the door opened. Zhou Jilie's secretary came out and was surprised to see Zhou Nan.
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "County Magistrate Zhou... are you looking for Minister Zhou? Well, Minister Zhou is here."
With that said, the secretary returned to Zhou Jilie's office and said with a smile, "Minister Zhou, County Magistrate Zhou of Ningshan County is here..."
Zhou Jilie suddenly raised his head and nodded seriously, "Let Comrade Zhou Nan come in."
Zhou Nan walked in with a smile and said hello respectfully, "Mr. Zhou, I'm disturbing the leadership's work."
At this time, the secretary quietly closed the door for Zhou Jilie.
The seriousness on Zhou Jilie's face instantly turned into a gentle smile, he laughed and bowed and said, "Comrade Zhou Nan, I have been waiting for you for a long time... Sit down, please sit down."
"You're a Bodhisattva, it's not easy to invite me. Secretary Feng arranged a job for me and asked me to organize a conversation with you. Before the organization appointment is issued, I need to have a conversation. However, I haven't been able to contact you... I just talked to Secretary Feng
Having said that, Secretary Feng said that we should announce the appointment first - I believe Comrade Zhou Nan will not be unwilling to be the county magistrate of Ningshan County, right? Huh?"
Zhou Nan broke into sweat and smiled awkwardly, "Let the leader worry about it. I was in Hong Kong and my phone suddenly had a problem and it was never fixed, so... I originally wanted to come back in a few days, but I didn't expect..."
"Haha, it's good to come back, it's good to come back. If you don't come back, the gossip will spread to the sky." Zhou Jilie's meaningful words came to an abrupt end, and he would not go any further if he could reach this level.
.
"Actually, this conversation is just a formality. I hope that after the conversation, Comrade Zhou Nan can go and report to Secretary Feng and Mayor Ma... The two main leaders have done something for you this time, but it took a lot of effort.
Don't worry."
Zhou Jilie laughed and reminded Zhou Nan intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, he knew very well that the reason why Feng Botao asked him to talk to Zhou Nan was because he wanted Zhou Nan to come to the city to see him. He wanted to "beat" Zhou Nan in person.
.
Sure enough, Zhou Nan left Zhou Jilie and went to the office of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Feng Botao. Someone was reporting to Feng Botao, so Zhou Nan waited in the secretary's office for more than half an hour.
After the secretary of a certain district party committee who reported on his work left, Zhou Nan knocked on the door and walked into Feng Botao's office.
Although Feng Botao did not say it clearly, he still expressed the attitude of the municipal party committee and his own personal attitude in a roundabout way. Zhou Nan quickly expressed his gratitude and talked with Feng Botao in a cordial and friendly atmosphere for more than half an hour.
In the meantime, Mayor Ma Liguo came over, and when he saw Zhou Nan, he was naturally "beaten".
It was already past four in the afternoon when Zhou Nan left the municipal party committee secretary and mayor. Zhou Nan took the car to the city's living area, where the new deputy mayor Zhang Qiang's new home is.
Knocking on the door and walking into Zhang's house, Vice Mayor Zhang Qiang, who had just heard that Zhou Nan was coming and rushed back early, opened the door and saw Zhou Nan and Qiu Gang standing at the door carrying large and small bags. He couldn't help laughing and said, "I said Zhou Da County
Commander, you brought so many things to my house, are you trying to make me make a mistake?"
Zhou Nan chuckled and said, "It's just a few bottles of wine, what else can it do? I came to the city to see the old boss, and I brought wine to my house for dinner. How can this be turned into bribery?"
"Haha, please come in, please come in." Zhang Qiang was naturally not polite to Zhou Nan. What he said just now was nothing more than a joke. While letting the two of them in, he lowered his voice and said, "You guys can do it. I'm not in the county. I'm not in the city."
The appointment was made... In my mind, this is the first time in the city, not necessarily unprecedented, but certainly unprecedented. This shows that the main leaders of the municipal party committee attach great importance to you!"
"Thank you to the city leaders for your concern, and thank you to Mayor Zhang for your concern." Zhou Nan put the things in the Zhang family's living room. Zhang Qiang's wife was busy in the kitchen. When she saw Zhou Nan coming, she also smiled and poked her head out of the kitchen to greet him.
He said, "Comrade Zhou Nan is here, please take a seat quickly, Lao Zhang, make tea! You drink tea first, I will prepare the dishes soon, and you three have a few cups."
"I'm sorry to bother you, sister-in-law." Zhou Nan smiled.
"Why are you so polite to my sister-in-law?" Zhang Qiang's wife's polite and enthusiastic voice came from the kitchen.
Qiu Gang, who had been smiling and respectfully standing aside, saw that Zhang Qiang and Zhou Nan, who had become deputy mayors, were still as close as before and had little airs. He couldn't help but secretly thought, "Zhang Qiang is quite a good person."
In fact, Zhang Qiang is now the legitimate deputy mayor. He is different from the county party secretary in the past. How could a deputy department leader not have any airs? However, Zhang Qiang's airs cannot be shown in front of Zhou Nan. Although Zhou Nan's rank
Don't be inferior to him, but judging from Zhou Nan's background and energy, his future prospects will be equal to or even surpass Zhang Qiang's, and it won't be too long.
Moreover, Zhou Nan actually contributed a lot to Zhang Qiang's success. Without Zhou Nan's "magnificent" investment promotion, Zhang Qiang's political achievements would not have been so dazzling, and his promotion would not have come so quickly. Therefore, Zhang Qiang felt sorry for him.
Zhou Nan actually has some underlying feelings of gratitude.
Therefore, Zhang Qiang took the initiative to lower his profile and interact with Zhou Nan in an "equal" manner. Otherwise, he would not have rushed home in advance to receive Zhou Nan, and even called his wife back to prepare meals.
After a few glasses of wine, Zhang Qiang, who had a cheerful temperament, couldn't help but ask Zhou Nan whether the news from Mengjiawan not long ago was true. Zhou Nan was noncommittal, neither nodding nor denying it, just saying that it was just a joke.
Changed the topic.
"You are not a simple boy. I remember that the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, Chen Yan, did not have a good impression of you... But I heard that Chen Yan said a lot for you at the last Standing Committee meeting. Tell your brother about it.
, how did you break through this woman's strong fortress?" Qiu Gang drank two drinks with the two of them and then left and went downstairs to wait, because he knew that the two leaders were communicating together and it was really inconvenient for him to sit there.
After Qiu Gang left, Zhang Qiang's words became more "unbridled" due to his drunkenness.
"Haha, I don't know, who knows." Zhou Nan also smiled.
"By the way, we are not outsiders. Since you came to see me today, I will tell you a few words from my heart. I have worked in Ningshan for so many years. It can be said that I care about every plant and tree in the county and every cadre.
Very familiar..."
"Let me give you a few warnings. Among the leaders in the county, the most mentally retarded one is Chen Dong, no matter how powerful he thinks he is; the most scheming Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Ma Zhi'an. This man is very deep in the city, and he is always impeccable in what he says and does.
He also behaves very low-key, please pay more attention to him in the future."
"For this kind of person, you either have to suppress him completely, or be friends with him and don't offend him... This person is very vindictive and narrow-minded."
…
…
Zhang Qiang, under the influence of alcohol, commented on the county leaders one by one, out of good intentions. Zhou Nan basically agreed with his evaluation, but he had different views on Ma Zhi'an and Zhou Nan.
Although Ma Zhi'an is deeply scheming, this is not necessarily a shortcoming. This kind of person is a cautious person and is unlikely to do anything too outrageous.
"Finally, let's talk about Sun Xiang. Sun Xiang is a typical government veteran, advocating the golden mean, never standing out, having a very upright position, and a very down-to-earth mentality. But he has one biggest problem, that is
It’s too hypocritical and flashy. Look at how many image projects he has done in these years as director of the Construction Committee that wasted people and money."
"Now that he has become the secretary of the county party committee, he will definitely take action... Please be more careful. The two of you are working together and have a good relationship. I suggest that brother Zhou Nan, on some insignificant matters, as long as they don't involve
It’s a matter of principle. You should give in if you need to make concessions..."
Zhang Qiang smiled meaningfully and patted Zhou Nan on the shoulder.
