The rural dirt road from the highway back to Elder Xiao Zixin’s home is about 10 kilometers, and it’s really not easy to walk at night. Although Director Xiao Zixin has been thinking of ways to do this over the years, the township and county have also continued to provide money. It has been renovated, but it is not a main road after all. There are many potholes left by the rain. You need to be extra cautious when driving at night. Especially these high-end cars and their special status as officials in various regions, the drivers dare not be careless. …
Therefore, it was such a short journey, and when we returned after seeing off the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Gao Wentai, it took a few cars about forty minutes.
During this section of the road, Director Xiao Zixin closed his eyes slightly. In addition to thinking of the writer Ma Guan, he suddenly thought of two people. As mentioned earlier, these two people were promoted in the officialdom of Director Xiao Zixin during the initial period. On the official road, it plays a vital role for him. It can be said that if he had not had the experience of being the secretary of the Xuanpu County Government Office, the acting general section chief, (converted to a regular) deputy section chief and the general section chief, he would never have been there. He now holds the extremely important position of Director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau!
Thinking of these two people who were very important in his life memory earlier - it was as if he had returned to his hometown at this moment, clear, bright, but full of sadness. Of these two people, one was the one he was in Director Zhang of the Government Office when he was the secretary and acting general section chief of Xuanpu County, and the other one is of course the deputy director Yang Lixin.
But for some reason, when he thought of these two people, director Xiao Zixin's mind immediately flashed into a more sad mood.[
This time, none of them came to attend his old mother's funeral.
Ordinarily, apart from Gao Wentai, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee who is still his biggest official benefactor, the two people who impressed him most in the Xuanpu County Government Office were these two people. Without their initial attention and promotion, It’s not enough to have a good impression of Secretary Gao Wentai. After all, Secretary Gao’s good impression of him was also communicated to Secretary Gao through them, and at that time they were the main leaders of the Xuanpu County Government Office, that is, they were the direct Take care of Xiao Zixin and the people who directly promoted him.
However, this time neither of them came.
What's going on?
Regardless of whether Xiao Zixin was later promoted from the Xuanpu County Government Office to the County Public Security Bureau as the political commissar or the top director, he was transferred to the Daguo County Public Security Bureau as the top director until he later became the top bureau chief. When he was a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and Executive Deputy County Magistrate, including after he was directly promoted to Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, Xiao Zixin always maintained good contact and personal relationships with Director Zhang and Director Yang Lixin. At the same time, several of them He has always been Secretary Gao Wentai's right-hand man and confidant.
If everything is normal, then Director Zhang and Director Yang Lixin must have been the first group of people to arrive upon hearing the news during the sudden death and funeral of Director Xiao Zixin’s old mother...
However, neither of them has come yet.
This made Director Xiao Zixin think about it at this moment, and his mood suddenly became more sad and heavy----
It turned out that a few years ago, when Xiao Zixin was the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, Director Zhang had passed away. After his body was suddenly injured in an accident on the street, although he slowly recovered after vigorous rescue efforts, the injury He lost his vitality, and his health has not been very good since then. When he was the director of the county government office in his later period, he was rarely able to go to work and preside over work normally. Although he later became the deputy county magistrate, he ultimately did not work for long, and then Passed away...
At the time of his death, Director Zhang was already the deputy county magistrate of Xuanpu County Government, deputy county level. Director Xiao Zixin personally returned to the county at that time to attend Director Zhang's funeral and memorial service.
Soon, Xiao Zixin was directly promoted from the position of Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee to the position of Director of the Provincial Public Security Department. From then on, their line was basically broken. However, in the following years, Director Xiao Zixin’s only contribution to Director Zhang was However, my son had a lot of important help. Whether it was personal matters or later studying at the Provincial Police College (junior college), he gave a lot of effective help, and Director Zhang's wife was no exception...
He will never forget some things. He has always been grateful to the people in his heart for the help that Director Zhang and Director Yang Lixin gave him in his official career during that special period when he graduated from college and entered the society-the initial stage of his life. and kindness.
And where is the other person, Director Yang Lixin? Why didn’t he come this time?
Due to various reasons, Director Yang Lixin has long since left his hometown and no longer works in the Xuanpu County Government. In fact, he left earlier than Xiao Zixin. Back when Xiao Zixin was still serving as Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and Director of Public Security in Daguo County , he was transferred away. Before leaving, after all the work was settled, Director Yang Lixin made a special call to Xiao Zixin, and then Xiao Zixin made a special trip back to Xuanpu County to attend the party until he was sent off to Xuanpu County. county.
Xiao Zixin's personal feelings and relationship with Director Yang are also very deep and special. Of course he will not forget that when he was the acting section chief of the Comprehensive Section of the Xuanpu County Government Office, he and Director Zhang went to the Normal College to inspect cadres. Scene. And the person who was about to be transferred to the Xuanpu County Government Office was later the director of the Government Office Yang Lixin.
Over the years, Director Yang has done a good job in Xuanpu County, and he also p
It was just for some reason that after Secretary Gao left, Yang Luwo was anxious to adapt to government work. He felt that maybe he could only govern under Gao Gansu. Ideological work and youth work are more suitable for me, but due to the increasingly obvious corruption and abuse of power in government work, I am increasingly unsuitable...
He later discussed these issues with Xiao Zixin many times on the phone and said that if he had the opportunity, he would return to work in a university, but he would not go back to the original normal college.
In this way, Xiao Zixin had already been mentally prepared, but did not know when he would leave the Xuanpu County Government Office, and suddenly received the news that he was leaving.[
Xiao Zixin quickly rushed back to Xuanpu County and attended the gathering attended by many county and city leaders, cadres, and colleagues to see him off.
Nowadays, Director Yang Lixin is serving as the Secretary of the Youth League Committee of a university thousands of miles away, with a deputy prefecture level and a high official position. However, he may not have heard the unfortunate news that the mother of the elder Xiao Zixin died suddenly. When I heard about it later, I would not rush back to attend the funeral... Director Xiao Zixin completely understood this, but it was hard to extricate himself from the sad emotions for a while.
However, the personal relationship and feelings between him and the above two people, including the officialdom, will be engraved in his heart forever in this life and will never be forgotten.
Director Xiao Zixin moved his hands to adjust his body, trying to sit more comfortably. In the past few days and nights, his love and longing for his old mother - and even some kind of emotional guilt - were real. It was too unbearable and unspeakable. There were also all the reception and funeral arrangements. He wanted to take advantage of the limited time before returning to Niangniang Village to take a rest. At this moment, he unzipped something on his right hand. Thick, uh----
Xiao Zixin touched his pocket again and realized that it was the big brown paper envelope that Secretary Gao Wentai left for him on the highway before leaving. Of course, there was money inside.
He paused for a moment, but couldn't help but slowly turned sideways and took it out.
He was sitting in the passenger seat, and no one behind him could see him. Only his own driver could see his every move, but he was also looking ahead. With such road conditions being at night, the driver did not dare to be distracted...
Director Xiao Zixin just silently touched the large brown paper envelope carefully, even though he knew that it contained money, RMB, which was left to him by Secretary Gao Wentai as a funeral gift for attending the death of his old mother. He also knew in his heart that it was money. I want to open it and scoop it out to see how much money Secretary Gao left him?
However, in the end, Director Xiao Zixin still held back, suppressed some thoughts in his heart, only paused for a while, and then silently stuffed it back into his pocket. After he thought about getting home, he also put these The money was handed over to relatives and friends who kept accounts to fulfill some of the old father's wishes.
However, Director Xiao Zixin was also a little curious. He pinched the thickness of the big envelope. It was very thick and somewhat heavy, but he could not accurately judge how much money was inside.
5,000 yuan?
10,000 yuan? Or...??
No, no more, at most ten thousand yuan. This also surprised him secretly.
Over the years, I have always heard of people from below - people with low positions giving money to people above me. I have never heard of people from above, especially provincial party committee leaders like Secretary Gao Wentai, giving money to people below. Let’s talk about giving money. Although this time it was because of the special circumstances due to the death of his old mother, Secretary Gao Wentai’s move still made Xiao Zixin very touched. It was not a matter of the amount of money, but it was an attitude, a kind of respect.
Since the beginning of the Xuanpu County Government Office, he has always heard about the following committees, bureaus and other leaders of various sizes in government agencies. Why would they take the initiative to give money to big leaders because of their position? In fact, Otherwise, when Xiao Zixin first joined the Petition Office in 1990, there were not many people and things to do to give money. Most people in the government still practiced the gift-giving methods left by their ancestors in the past--- There are a lot of people who give gifts, but almost no people who give money directly.
Moreover, even if people gradually started to send money later, most of them could not give much, just a few hundred yuan.
At that time, the wages were also very low, pitiful.
If it weren't for the so-called large-scale transition of "civil servants" across the country after 1994, then government agencies began to madly raise wages again and again. In a few years, they actually doubled, and then doubled again. Doubling, doubling again... If so, then I am afraid that no one would have thought that the corruption and corruption in the official career of the Chinese dynasty would be so effective and distinctive that the world would be stunned, right?
To be honest, except for the few years when Xiao Zixin was transferred from the Petition Office of Xuanpu County to the County Government Office, he did not send gifts or RMB to the leaders, including Secretary Gao Wentai, that is, when he first Except for the few years when Xiao Zixin first entered the official career and became the acting general section chief, deputy section chief, and section chief, in all subsequent development stages of Xiao Zixin's official career, he, like other officialdom people, always gave top priority to his superiors. I gave gifts and cash.
And each time it becomes thicker and thicker, each time more abundant.
Including the years after he became the county public security chief----until the years after he became the secretary-general of the municipal committee, he basically lived like this.
Of course, the person he sent the most and the most important gifts to was Secretary Gao Wentai.[
So far, Director Xiao Zixin only has a rough number in mind and has no specific summary. But with his intelligence and the self-preservation philosophy and official experience he has learned in the officialdom, he will never fall like some people. A forgetful official would write down the details of these official money transactions by himself. He would not, and he would not allow himself to have any mistakes or illusions in this regard. The special nature of the work of the public security agency has made him more rigorous. Careful and thoughtful brain and experience.
The large-scale visits organized by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government again and again to educate and publicize corrupt officials across the country have made Director Xiao Zixin pay more attention and caution to these issues.
He knew very well that despite what the central government emphasized time and time again, the ailing system and capabilities could already be cured.
As a small part of the entire body, he can only try not to touch sensitive things, let alone stand in the wrong line.
Under such a..., no one is safe.
Not to mention anything else, the RMB he has given to Secretary Gao Wentai over the years is at least more than one million. Where does the money come from? How did he never know how to give to Gao Ji and other major county leaders and officials? In the future, the father-in-law will give gifts, what to give and how much to give. From the ignorant young man to the current situation, everything will be based on reality, and no matter what, he will be a high-ranking official and a well-paid person. Director Xiao Zixin knows this process very well. It is clear, but it will never be made clear to everyone.
This is the bottom line and the official foundation.
What's more, now it's a critical moment on the eve of a major change in his destiny when he is about to be promoted to a more important position in the Beijing Ministry of Public Security. After dealing with the funeral of his old mother, Director Xiao Zixin has decided in his heart that he must convince his father no matter what. His elderly father moved to live with him in the provincial capital, and the thoughts and aftertaste in his heart were extremely complicated.
More than forty minutes later, Director Xiao Zixin and his car returned to Niangniangzhai safely.
According to local rural practice, when an elderly person dies, the funeral usually has to wait for three days before the funeral. In other words, counting the night of the old mother’s death (starting in the middle of the night), plus Director Xiao Zixin’s hurried return from the capital The next day, there was still a vigil tonight. When Director Xiao Zixin got out of the car, he greeted Liu Bin, Huaji of the Municipal Party Committee, and others, and asked them to rest in the arranged room, and then he went directly back to his old mother.
Director Xiao Zixin saw that his lover Bai Xinyu, with red and swollen eyes, was putting incense on his old mother's head...
Many relatives and friends were there, and he suddenly felt sour in his heart. He took a few steps forward, knelt on his knees, took the incense from his lover, and solemnly and carefully inserted it into the incense burner.
