Chapter 76 Dozing off and meeting the pillow giver
Liu Zhengwen's current level is the same as Xu Lizhong's, they are both senior, but he humbly said, "I have received your interview." This made Xu Lizhong, who always hated flattering others, feel a little uncomfortable. He frowned and said, "Minister Liu, I'm meeting two people."
The two of us should be of the same age.
Of course, don't be so polite, and don't use the word 'you' in your address. Secretary Ye and I are very good friends. When we worked in the Provincial Party Committee Office, we were like brothers. So, I hope we don't
It's too polite, that would look very alienating, right?"
Liu Zhengwen hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Director Xu is right. We are friends now. There is no need to be so polite and acrimonious. I will definitely correct it!"
Wang Xuewen pointed to a stool without a backrest next to Ye Ming and said: "Xiao Liu, please sit down first. We will chat for a few more minutes and then go downstairs to eat. By the way, you have worked in Beishan for many years and are familiar with this place. Which hotel do you think
The food here is the most authentic Beishan flavor? Director Xu finally came to Beishan, so he needs to eat some authentic Beishan flavor."
Liu Zhengwen replied without hesitation: "The most authentic local restaurant in Beishan is Zibin Restaurant. It is right on the riverside. The scenery is beautiful and the taste is very authentic."
"Okay, we'll go there to eat later."
After the four people chatted for a few more minutes, Wang Xuewen suddenly said hesitantly: "Director Xu, Secretary Ye, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
Xu Lizhong looked at him intently and guessed what he wanted to say, and then said: "Secretary Wang, let me guess what you want to say: Regarding Secretary Ye's sudden appointment to Beishan as county party committee secretary, is there anyone in your municipal party committee team?
Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions?”
Wang Xuewen nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, I have heard some discussions. Some members of the municipal party committee are puzzled by the decision of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. They think that Secretary Ye is too young and may lack experience and poor control.
, the shortcoming of insufficient macro decision-making ability, so
I am a little worried. However, I firmly support the decision of my superiors. I believe that the Provincial Party Committee will never make fun of the well-being of the more than one million people in Beishan. Secretary Ye is definitely capable enough to take on the big responsibility. I talked to Secretary Ye the day before yesterday
After we talked, my confidence became even stronger.”
In fact, among the leaders of the Min'an Municipal Committee who distrusted Ye Ming, Wang Xuewen himself was one. He had complained to Municipal Party Secretary Wei Jiehe many times that the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department was playing the piano randomly and arranged for someone so young and with such little qualifications to come to Beishan to be the county party secretary.
, is simply making fun of the happiness of more than one million people in Beishan.
Therefore, he now takes the initiative to mention that some leaders of the Min'an Municipal Committee are dissatisfied with Ye Ming's appointment. This is actually his strategy of "crying out the thief and catching the thief". On the one hand, it can make Xu Lizhong and Ye Ming wary of other leaders of the municipal committee and prevent them from doing so.
They can also use Ye Ming's bridge to connect with Xu Lizhong's line. On the other hand, they can also curry favor with Xu Lizhong and Ye Ming and take the opportunity to distance themselves...
Xu Lizhong listened to Wang Xuewen's words calmly, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and he said solemnly: "Secretary Wang, I can tell you clearly: the decision and arrangement of Comrade Ye Ming to be the county party secretary in Beishan was personally decided and arranged by the chief.
Comrade Ye Ming has worked beside the chief for two years. He has very strong working ability and won the first prize.
He has long been trusted and relied upon. However, he does not like to appear in the public eye. I usually handle some situational matters. He is the hero behind the scenes, so many heads of prefectures, cities and provincial agencies are relatively unfamiliar with him. If anyone
It is a very wrong prejudice to think that Comrade Ye Ming is not worthy of his responsibilities."
When Wang Xuewen and Liu Zhengwen heard that Secretary Lu personally decided and arranged for Ye Ming to work in Beishan, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and were secretly afraid: Fortunately, they had not offended the popular person next to the provincial party secretary, otherwise
If so, I really don’t know what unpredictable and terrible consequences there will be...
Wang Xuewen calmed down and said to Xu Lizhong in a very grateful tone: "Director Xu, thank you for telling me these things candidly. Don't worry, since Secretary Ye is the county party secretary appointed by Secretary Lu, his ability and character must be very high.
Yes, I will do my best to support Secretary Ye’s work. If anyone in the Municipal Party Committee doubts Secretary Ye’s ability and qualifications again, I will do my best to defend him.”
Xu Lizhong nodded and said: "Secretary Wang, Minister Liu, I treat you as friends, so I said the things I shouldn't have said above. I hope you won't spread what I said or tell anyone else.
When it comes to my relationship with Secretary Ye, you just have to be aware of it."
Although his words were very serious, to the ears of Wang Xuewen and Liu Zhengwen, it was a sign that they treated them as their own people. They couldn't help but be flattered, and quickly expressed their stance that they would remember Director Xu's words and would not disclose them to the outside world.
Half a minute.
Especially Wang Xuewen, seeing that Xu Lizhong did not regard himself and Liu Zhengwen as outsiders, and frankly revealed the close relationship between Ye Ming and Secretary Lu, his inner excitement and excitement were simply beyond words.
It turns out that Wang Xuewen’s backer in the Provincial Party Committee in the past was Xie Hongda, the former Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee. However, his relationship with Xie Hongda was well hidden, and few people knew about it. He never showed off this relationship in front of anyone.
Therefore, even Xu Lizhong, who deeply hated Xie Hongda, had no idea that Wang Xuewen was promoted by Xie Hongda.
Two years ago, Xie Hongda suddenly collapsed and was investigated and arrested. Wang Xuewen was so scared that he could not sleep all night, worried that Xie Hongda would confess his bribery to investigators. Fortunately, Xie Hongda did not truthfully confess all his crimes to reduce his guilt.
Wang Xuewen was lucky enough to escape the bribery behavior.
After the incident involving Xie Hongda passed, Wang Xuewen learned the hard way and made up his mind to get to know the highest level of the provincial party committee, preferably the provincial party secretary Lu Zhiyao. Therefore, he specifically asked for leave to go to the capital and met with his college classmates who had worked next to Secretary Lu.
Li Chaoyang wanted to ask him to recommend him to Secretary Lu.
However, Li Chaoyang knew Secretary Lu's character and temper and did not dare to directly help Wang Xuewen. However, he was willing to introduce him to Xu Lizhong, the person closest to Secretary Lu, and asked him to get to know him well. He also said that as long as Xu Lizhong was willing to help, his purpose could be achieved.
achieve.
Therefore, for a period of time, Wang Xuewen has been struggling to find ways and means to become friends with Xu Lizhong, but he has been unable to find a good way. Unexpectedly, Xu Lizhong took the initiative to find Beishan today, and just told him that
Those words that only close friends can say are just as good as dozing off when someone brings you a pillow, so how can he not be overjoyed?
After repeatedly emphasizing to Xu Lizhong that he and Liu Zhengwen would not leak today's events, Wang Xuewen stood up and said: "Director Xu, Secretary Ye, it's getting late, let's go eat first!"
Just at this moment, Ye Ming's cell phone suddenly rang. Looking at the caller ID, it was Chang Ying, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee.
