Xiao Zixin arrived at the door of County Magistrate Gao's office and knocked lightly. When he heard Magistrate Gao answering inside, he opened the door and walked in.
"County Magistrate Gao, are you looking for me?" he asked with a smile.
"Well, come in quickly and sit down!" Judging from County Magistrate Gao's appearance, it seemed that he had been waiting for him for a long time. When several people who were looking for County Magistrate Gao saw Xiao Zixin come in, they all stood up and took the documents that Magistrate Gao had just signed and said
"County Magistrate Gao, you are busy, let's go back first." After they left, Magistrate Gao went to close the door, turned around and looked at Xiao Zixin, with a strange look in his eyes, and smiled.
County Magistrate Gao Wentai rarely jokes with others. He is often as cold as ice and has a serious face. Even in front of his superiors, you can rarely see his smile.
However, today's County Magistrate Gao seemed kind and relaxed. When he saw Xiao Zixin, he immediately invited him to sit down, made a cup of tea himself, placed it on the coffee table next to Xiao Zixin, and then did not sit back behind the desk.
, but sat down on the sofa very close to Xiao Zixin.
Just a few actions made Xiao Zixin feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.
To be honest, County Magistrate Gao has always respected him very much. Not just today, but always the same. When he got angry, even the director would scold him in public, but he had never scolded Xiao Zixin.
In the two years since Xiao Zixin came to Xuanpu County, there are very few leaders who can be so sincere and show such respect and care to a subordinate for a long time. The lower the status, the less valuable, and the smaller the status, the more no one cares about it.
This is already a cruel reality in the officialdom of Xuanpu County (and possibly across the country) that makes those ordinary cadres shudder...
"Xiao Xiao, I see that your face looks a little bad. Are you feeling a little unwell?"
Magistrate Gao's gentle greeting next to his ear brought Xiao Zixin back to his eyes from his slight distraction.
"Ah, no, maybe I slept a little late last night, it's nothing," Xiao Zixin said with a smile, "I'll be fine after a while, I'm sick."
"You must rest when you need to rest, and recuperate when you need to recuperate. Young people must do a good job and improve their physical fitness in order to adapt to more important work in the future. In the past few years, I was not tired or tired, and I wrote continuously.
I didn't sleep for several nights, and it passed in the blink of an eye, and nothing happened."
"Haha, yes, I am too now, but I seem a little sleepy these past two days." Xiao Zixin said. He didn't know what County Magistrate Gao wanted to do with him, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
Xiao Zixin heard that County Magistrate Gao Wentai was a graduate of the 81st grade university in his early 40s. It is said that he had told others many times that among the 81st and 82nd grade college students in the province, he was the only one with the highest rank.
He is alone. So he must work hard and work hard, and try not to make any mistakes, lest all the administrative cadres among the 81 and 82-level college students will be wiped out at the county level. Therefore, his work style gives people the impression
He is always cautious and meticulous, especially on matters of principle, he is serious and unambiguous.
He is a very good talker, and his words are clear and logical. He has both theory and practice. He quotes from other sources and explains the profound things in simple terms. He is just like water from a hanging river. He is majestic and highly contagious. People who listen to his reports often can't help but laugh.
There were bursts of applause. So since Xiao Zixin came to work with him, he feels that he is a charming, energetic, pioneering and enterprising reform-oriented leader. Cautious but not conservative, serious but enthusiastic, cautious but bold
Openness, this is also the unanimous view of the cadres in the entire building towards him.
However, today is still a bit strange? Xiao Zixin thought to himself.
In fact, in the nearly two years since County Magistrate Gao Wentai came to Xuanpu County, everyone at the top and bottom had a good opinion of him. If so many unexpected things hadn't happened recently, maybe his reputation would have improved.
He kept it until he successfully took over the position of Secretary Wang Guoqing, and even kept it until he held a higher-level position.
However, some time ago, he asked Xiao Zixin to investigate an unannounced visit to an antique street, which caused trouble.
This was also the main purpose of calling Xiao Zixin here alone today.
Xiao Zixin was so excited just now that he almost told County Magistrate Gao about Wang Guoqing's interrogation to his face. Even Magistrate Gao could see that he didn't look good. Xiao Zixin came back from Zhengyang Hotel at that time.
His frustration was evident. But he still held it back. At his level, and he didn't know what County Magistrate Gao wanted to do with him, he couldn't talk about it. After all, they were the county party committee secretary and county magistrate, and they deserved to be aggrieved.
But similarly, Xiao Zixin paid closer attention and found that County Magistrate Gao's face was also quite ugly.
"Why?" Xiao Zixin couldn't help but think of those incomprehensible words of Secretary Wang Guoqing and some of County Magistrate Gao's previous actions, and felt a little confused.
County Magistrate Gao said something more, Xiao Zixin just nodded and listened silently.
Gradually, he seemed to feel something. County Magistrate Gao hurriedly called him over. Is he afraid that he was not going to discuss his health with him?
At this time, someone knocked on the door. County Magistrate Gao listened but said nothing.
The people outside knocked lightly a few more times, but there was no movement...
Seeing County Magistrate Gao's calm and kind expression, Xiao Zixin became more and more confused. What would he talk to him about?
Could it be something about the antique street?
It seems not. If it was about the antique street, he would not be so cautious. He would go to the general department to find him and ask Xiao Chen to tell him to come and see him as soon as he comes back. This is actually equivalent to telling Xiao Zixin that he has Important matters must be explained or arranged with him before leaving get off work.
Could it be related to Director Zhang and Director Yang?
I'm afraid not. Director Zhang and Director Yang should be one of the most trusted and capable confidants of County Magistrate Gao in the entire Xuanpu County Government. There is absolutely nothing between them that cannot be discussed and explained directly in person. Call him this way
If you come to talk about something about Director Zhang or Director Yang, doesn’t it mean that you are being suspicious?
What could that be?
Could it be... about Secretary Wang Guoqing?
When Xiao Zixin suddenly realized this problem, he felt himself swaying slightly as if he had been slapped.
I thought of all the problems, but I didn't think of this one! And this problem is precisely the most fatal problem! Because this is the only problem that may make County Magistrate Gao so cautious and difficult to talk about.
Damn it! The sudden nervousness actually made his palms suddenly sweaty, because he really didn't think of how to deal with this fatal problem.
I just went to the Zhengyang Hotel and saw and heard Secretary Wang Guoqing's abominable bureaucracy, his subsequent eccentric questioning, and the coquettish Deputy Secretary of the Youth League and County Committee Wang Zhen who walked out of Wang Guoqing's room...
Xiao Zixin is so smart. He immediately understood that he had unknowingly fallen into the trap of two main leaders in the county (maybe not just Gao and Wang, there should be more) on the issue of antique street.
) in internal strife.
what to do?
County Magistrate Gao's face still looked so kind and respectful, sitting next to him still looked so close and intimate, and the words he spoke were still so relaxed and natural.
However, the feeling that all this brought to Xiao Zixin was completely different in an instant, and even made him feel a sense of danger and crisis.
Perhaps, because County Magistrate Gao regarded him as a confidant, out of some kind of love and concern, or because he was thinking about how to talk about some issues, he had the current hesitation and expression.
"Secretary Wang is looking for you?" County Magistrate Gao finally said what Xiao Zixin wanted to know most.
"Yes," Xiao Zixin admitted honestly, his heart felt relaxed and tense at the same time.
Just as he was about to speak, someone knocked on the door again, knocking continuously. County Magistrate Gao frowned, turned to look at the door, and still did not say anything. He did not answer, and he did not want anyone from outside to come in or know that he was in the office.
Here, this made Xiao Zixin even more convinced that some of his guesses were true. There may indeed have been a major disagreement between County Magistrate Gao and Secretary Wang on the issue of the antique street, and even an extremely terrifying struggle.
.There are too many people coming to see County Magistrate Gao. People come to see him almost all the time every day. Unless Magistrate Gao goes out or goes to the countryside, otherwise, it will be difficult for him to calm down as long as he is in the office.
Xiao Zixin glanced at County Magistrate Gao secretly and felt that he understood many things in his heart. His heart also stood more firmly on County Magistrate Gao's side!
If there is really any problem between their leaders!
For no other reason, a scholar would die for his confidant, not to mention that he had always sincerely agreed and admired what County Magistrate Gao Wentai had done in his heart, and was very resentful of the misconduct of Secretary Wang Guoqing and others behind his back!
If necessary, he, Xiao Zixin, is willing to plug the hole for this person who has always admired him very much and has been kind to him!
People outside seemed to know that County Magistrate Gao was in the office and kept knocking on the door. Based on experience and feeling, County Magistrate Gao knew that he was not an important person. Xiao Zixin also felt this, so County Magistrate Gao kept listening patiently.
He stayed, didn't speak, didn't go out, and didn't agree. This also proved from another aspect how important he was to Xiao Zixin and how important the matter he was about to talk to Xiao Zixin was.
Xiao Zixin is really touched...
Fortunately, the people outside finally left, and someone seemed to be asking: "Isn't County Magistrate Gao at home?..."
"..."
Xiao Zixin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at County Magistrate Gao. Magistrate Gao relaxed his brows, got up and sat in front of his desk, picked up the magnetized water cup with the word "Award" printed on it and took a sip of water.
Behind him, next to the piles of documents on the boss's desk are a bright red small national flag and an equally bright red small party flag...
"Secretary Wang came to you and scolded you?" County Magistrate Gao had a complicated expression.
"Well," Xiao Zixin said: "He mainly asked me about the report. He asked me if you sent me to Antique Street and what was written in the report when I came back..."
County Magistrate Gao Wentai nodded thoughtfully, picked up a cigarette from the table, silently threw one to Xiao Zixin, lit it himself, and took a puff.
Xiao Zixin was also ignited, and his mood was even more complicated.
This was the first time in his life that he had sat and talked alone with such an important leader, and suddenly it seemed that many important issues in the county were related to him, making him unable to escape and fell into a general feeling.
There are worries, of course, for Xiao Zixin, a young and promising young man who is smart and capable, and also has a lot of enthusiasm, and is even more passionate and capable. He knows that County Magistrate Gao must have thought about it for a long time before talking to him about this.
You must also be very cautious.
So, he took the initiative to tell County Magistrate Gao everything he was thinking, "County Magistrate Gao, I have actually felt this problem for a long time. As a secretary, I really don't dare to ask too many questions about the matters between your leaders.
I don’t dare to get involved too much. However, I am not here to speak ill of Secretary Wang and the others in front of you. No, in fact, I learned a lot more things during my unannounced visit to the Antique Street. It’s more complicated. Just considering
According to your leadership, I hesitated for a long time when writing that report, and in the end I did not include some issues."
County Magistrate Gao nodded and silently continued his cigarette.
"Xiao Xiao, I don't need to say more, I know everything."
Xiao Zixin was stunned for a moment, then understood and nodded.
"Actually, the main reason I asked you to come is to talk about this issue. But after all, you and I cannot tell you everything because of our status, position, and position. However, you must be mentally prepared..."
He was really afraid of the ghost coming out! County Magistrate Gao’s next words immediately confirmed his suspicions and worries.
"Xiao Xiao, you comrades who do secretarial work are actually our treasures. I also did this job in the municipal government, and later I was the deputy secretary-general and I still do these jobs. If it weren't for some regulations, if it weren't for
I am the county magistrate in Xuanpu County. Don’t I want to be consistent with Secretary Wang and others, but I want to cause these problems? Especially Antique Street, which is an extremely sensitive place in Xuanpu County, and there are some county leaders such as Secretary Wang.
Emotionally speaking, I am not willing to touch mine easily."
"Do you understand these words, Xiao Xiao?" County Magistrate Gao choked out most of the cigarette and gently rubbed it in the ashtray a few times.
"I understand, County Magistrate Gao, if you have anything to say, just say it, and if there's anything, just give me instructions." Xiao Zixin suddenly felt a little jealous. He used the word "you" for the first time.
"Xiao Xiao, I felt very uncomfortable when I called you here today. In fact, most leaders would not have the heart to talk about such things. I started from work, and considered the county's economic development and social security.
After thinking about it for a long time, I asked you to go to Antique Street to investigate secretly. The problem is that I already knew it, and your report shocked me even more than I knew. Originally, this issue should be dealt with by the province or city.
I went to talk to Secretary Wang, but they ended up - at least they haven't done so yet, so they pushed the problem to me all at once, which made me a little embarrassed."
Xiao Zixin nodded silently and looked at County Magistrate Gao.
"There is no need to keep this matter secret, but in this sensitive period and in our county, we can only keep it secret. But now that Secretary Wang knows about it, and he is looking for you, the matter is more complicated..."
"I know. It's okay!"
"Listen to me, Xiao Xiao, you must be mentally prepared. I called you here today just to talk to you about this. I also feel that I should be responsible for your future. I and they can't do anything, because there are many facts there
Obviously, the province and the city also know about it. At most, they can move my position from Xuanpu County to another county and city, leaving this place of right and wrong, but the impact will not be big. But it is different for you, I
It's okay if you don't leave. With me protecting you, they won't do anything to you for a while, but if I leave after a while, it won't be easy to say... There are many things, many things in the officialdom, you may not be able to do it now.
I understand it very well and you will understand it gradually.”
Xiao Zixin listened silently. In fact, up to now, he could only listen.
What shocked him was how the actions and matters among their leaders could be grasped so quickly. The matter of the antique street, in such a short period of time, a county magistrate and a county committee committee were mobilized.
Secretary, and triggered a secret war on him!
When an invisible force could reach this stage, what else could Xiao Zixin say? He made it clear to County Magistrate Gao: I'm not afraid!
To Xiao Zixin's relief, County Magistrate Gao clearly hinted to him that he would protect him!
