In fact, in terms of position, Hu Deqing is the deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee General Office and Director of the Inspection Office, which belongs to the deputy department level, while Xu Lizhong is now the deputy director of the First Secretary Division of the Provincial Party Committee General Office, two levels lower than Hu Deqing. , and is also a subordinate cadre of Hu Deqingzhenger Bajing.
However, because Xu Lizhong is now the person closest to Secretary Lu, according to current popular sayings, he is the "No. 2 chief" in Tianjiang Province, and can be called "one level above the official level", even if he is now Qiu Wangxi, acting secretary-general of the provincial party committee and director of the general office of the provincial party committee, was respectful when he met Xu Lizhong and did not dare to consider himself a leader. Therefore, deputy directors like Hu Deqing, although nominally Xu Lizhong's leader, were actually Xu Lizhong's leaders. Every time they saw Xu Lizhong, they would greet him with the courtesy of subordinates and get close to him, because in their minds, Xu Lizhong was the representative and incarnation of Secretary Lu, and he would report everything he said and did. For Secretary Lu, they must respect him and lower their profile in front of him...
Moreover, Xu Lizhong has always been a very mysterious figure in the minds of leaders and cadres in the provincial party committee offices: he is usually taciturn, has a serious expression, rarely interacts with others, and never visits other departments to chat, such as the provincial government It is the first time for Xu Lizhong to come to the Inspection Office today.
A person like him who has status but is very mysterious and cautious in his actions can easily arouse curiosity in others, and can also gain respect and even fear from others. Therefore, in the provincial party committee office and even in various provincial agencies, , if Xu Lizhong can make an exception and visit a certain unit or department to have a few words with the leaders of the unit, those leaders will regard it as a very honorable and very face-saving thing, and they will be everywhere in their circle of friends. Show off, as if they have gained Secretary Lu's favor.
Because of this, when Hu Deqing saw Xu Lizhong suddenly coming to the inspection room, he couldn't help but feel surprised and happy. He felt flattered and rushed over to shake hands with Xu Lizhong and say hello, and invited him to sit in his office.
A rare smile appeared on Xu Lizhong's face, he waved his hand and said: "Director Hu, you're welcome, I'm here to see Ye Ming, I won't go to your office."
Hu Deqing, Li Qingbo and others were shocked again when they heard that Xu Lizhong came to see Ye Ming.
Hu Deqing turned his head and looked suspiciously at Ye Ming, who was looking at Xu Lizhong with a smile. With a confused expression on his face, he asked: "Chief Ye, do you know Director Xu?"
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Director Hu, Director Xu and I are old friends."
Then, he stood up, walked to the door, and called "Director Xu" very affectionately.
Xu Lizhong patted him on the shoulder very affectionately and said: "Xiaoye, the chief asked you to wait in his office. He has something to ask you. Do you have any urgent work to deal with now? If not, just come with me. Go over there,"
It turned out that just after Hu Deqing came out of Secretary Li's office, Secretary Li then called Secretary Lu and told him that Ye Ming was now assigned to the General Section by the Inspection Office, and he was only a deputy section chief. It seemed that something was not going well. .
When Secretary Lu heard this, he was also very surprised: According to his idea, Ye Ming would first be assigned to a full-time job in the inspection office, and then try to get him to make some achievements, and promote him to a full-time division level within two years, and then, Then let him go to the next county or city to serve as county party committee secretary or municipal party committee or district party committee secretary. When his term in Tianjiang expires and he goes to the central government, Ye Ming will also have experience in government agencies and grassroots work, so he can be boldly promoted. .
Unexpectedly, Ye Ming got off to a bad start as soon as he arrived at the provincial party committee office and was actually demoted.
Secretary Lu is very clear: If a cadre does not serve as the head of the department, firstly, his ability will not improve very quickly, and secondly, it will be difficult to achieve any outstanding results, because if you serve as a deputy in the department, even if the work of that department is outstanding, you will not be able to achieve outstanding results. In the end, the results were top-notch, and there was no deputy position. Moreover, if Ye Ming stayed in the comprehensive department and wrote materials, he would not be able to make any outstanding contributions.
So, he wanted to find Ye Ming to ask about the situation and find out why he was demoted. Therefore, he called Xu Lizhong and asked him to come to Ye Ming. He wanted to ask him something.
Xu Lizhong has also been paying attention to Ye Ming's work, and learned from the side that Ye Ming was not doing well in the inspection office and was assigned to be the deputy section chief of the Comprehensive Section.
Xu Lizhong is a loyal and naive person on the outside, but extremely delicate and sensitive in his heart. When he learned that Ye Ming had been demoted, he immediately guessed: This was because the leader of the inspection room looked down on Ye Ming and bullied him because he came from a small place. New comrade, that’s why we treat him like this.
So, after Secretary Lu told him to call Ye Ming, he could have called Ye Ming to inform him, but he deliberately wanted the people in the inspection room to know about his relationship with Ye Ming, and he also wanted the leaders in the inspection room to know. Ye Ming is going to Secretary Lu's office to scare them so that they don't look down on others and look down on Ye Ming.
Therefore, he deliberately did not notify Ye Ming by phone. Instead, he walked from the Standing Committee Building to Building No. 3, where the inspection office is located. He first went to the head of the inspection office, Hu Deqing. When he found that he was not in the office, he went to Li Qingbo's office to ask him. He took himself to find Ye Ming...
Hu Deqing and Li Qingbo were so shocked that their eyes almost dropped when they heard Xu Lizhong say that he came to Ye Ming and asked him to go to Secretary Lu's office to discuss matters: a small official at the department level, Secretary Lu actually I want to go to the secretary's office to discuss something with him. What's the rhythm?
What is even more incredible is that when Secretary Lu came to talk to Ye Ming, Xu Lizhong did not call him, but came to call him in person. This is too abnormal. You must know: no matter what level of cadres, if the provincial party committee secretary Announcements for interviews are all made by the secretary over the phone. The secretary will definitely not invite him in person. How could this Ye Ming be so naughty?
Xu Lizhong looked on coldly and saw the expressions of surprise and disbelief on the faces of Hu Deqing and Li Qingbo, which were also mixed with a little worry and fear. Knowing that his purpose of shocking them had been achieved, he sneered in his heart and deliberately asked Hu Deqing: "Director Hu, I'm going to call Xiao Ye over now. The chief is waiting for him in the office. You haven't arranged any important work for him. Can I ask him for half an hour's leave?"
When Hu Deqing heard Xu Lizhong's words, he recovered from the shock. He quickly wiped the sweat on his forehead, took Xu Lizhong's hand and said with a smile: "Director Xu, you are joking. Secretary Lu is looking for him." Section Chief Ye, even if we have important work, we don’t dare to delay Section Chief Ye. Why should we ask for leave? Hahaha,"
