Xuanpu County has been very prosperous in recent years. After a meteoric breakout, it has shaken off the title of a national poverty-stricken area two years ahead of schedule. After a series of public servants who dared to venture, dare to be the first, forge ahead, open up and invigorate, the county party committee
, the two teams of the county government jumped into the ranks of the "Five Good Teams" of eight cities and one state in the province.
What deserves special mention is that the face of municipal administration has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it has achieved six firsts in county-level evaluations across the province: such as the first outstanding project to support the army and love the people, the first integrated sightseeing and tourism project
, Hongqi Piaopiao Hot Spring Resort integrating leisure and entertainment, the first hygienic and civilized city, the first advanced city in the comprehensive management reform of "grasping both civilizations together", the first advanced county and the first village to develop individual small coal mines
The committee** selects advanced counties for pilot projects...
There may be counties that are advanced in attracting investment later. They are currently being evaluated.
In all these large and small competitions, Xiao Zixin, who was among them, also won an honor for the county: the province's advanced government information worker.
This is an achievement achieved shortly after Xiao Zixin officially took up the post of deputy section chief of the comprehensive department and took charge of the work.
He worked closely around the county committee, the central work of the county government, and around County Magistrate Gao, working hard for the goals in his heart. He did not seek success too hastily, but only wanted the satisfaction of the leader. Gradually, many things in Gao County
He was temporarily entrusted with the governor's duties and became the de facto confidant of Magistrate Gao.
In sharp contrast, the number of prosecutors is growing day by day.
"Hey, I really didn't expect that if I didn't leave the Petition Office, I would still be there now. I don't know how to face the reality..."
This was Xiao Zixin's emotion when he invited Director Liu Bin for a drink. At that time, Director Liu Bin had requested many times from the county to serve in other departments, even as a deputy, but the request had not been responded to, so he had to continue to insist.
He spent a day like a monk beating the clock. Facing the increasingly severe political situation, he had nowhere to complain, so he had no choice but to talk to Xiao Zixin, his former subordinate.
Originally, he wanted to pay for Xiao Zixin with his own money this time. After all, in his and everyone's eyes, Xiao Zixin was no longer like the situation where he just graduated and met him in the Personnel Bureau and asked him by the way. He wanted to invite him.
Xiao Zixin was drinking, but Xiao Zixin refused to say anything and invited him in return.
Now that Xiao Zixin is very tough and can speak in front of several county magistrates and directors, he also wants to ask Xiao Zixin for a favor and see if he can find an opportunity to talk to the leaders about his difficulties.
"Well, ever since the Petition Office was established, the leader asked me to work there. It has been more than ten years in a flash..."
"I understand, Director Liu." Xiao Zixin nodded and raised his glass silently. In his heart, he felt more and more sympathy and understanding for his old leader, but what could he say now, "Come on, drink!"
"If you have a chance, can you tell me something? You can work as a deputy in a township or another place. Anyway, I don't want to work in petitioning for a day anymore." After taking a sip, Liu Bin said.
"Well, I will tell you when I get the chance. Don't worry, Director Liu." Xiao Zixin nodded, feeling comfortable but also complicated.
After all, without Liu Bin, Xiao Zixin would not be where he is today. Xiao Zixin is very clear about this truth and the love from his past life and has never forgotten it.
As he spoke, Liu Bin suddenly took out an envelope from his bag and pushed it in front of Xiao Zixin, "This is not much, please accept it."
Xiao Zixin was shocked!
He understood it at a glance and knew it was money. He hurriedly pressed Liu Bin's hand. His hands were so cold that he couldn't use them: "Director Liu, don't do this! You make me embarrassed by doing this."
Okay...you are my old leader after all, how can you give me money? Your business is my business. I will talk to County Magistrate Gao about it if I have the chance. Really! Put the money away quickly.
It’s not good for others to see you!”
"It's not for you, and it's not for the leader... There's no way you can do anything without money, I understand."
"No, no, Director Liu, please don't make it difficult for me. In fact, there are some things that I can't say, but I will try my best to deal with you..."
Liu Bin finally gave the money to Xiao Zixin and held his hand tightly without letting go. It wasn't until Xiao Zixin's eyes suddenly became wet and he nodded silently that he let go. This was the first time Xiao Zixin received money.
, and he was still his previous leader. In any case, he never thought that things would be like this. But it was impossible not to accept it. Many years later, when Xiao Zixin saw the big news about Hebei's "First Secretary", he suddenly
I thought of that night and the scene between Liu Bin and myself.
However, Xiao Zixin was no longer what he used to be. He believed in the authenticity of the news, because he started from that point, advanced step by step, and rose step by step.
Xiao Zixin got so drunk that night that he hugged Liu Bin and later even called him brothers.
Then he actually rushed to pay the bill first and said nothing to let Liu Bin treat him...
I returned to my dormitory in the county hotel, took a shower, went back to bed, opened the envelope and took a look at it. My hands were wet with saliva and I counted them. No more, no less, there was a full 5000ymb stuffed inside.
…
As soon as you enter Xuanpu Street, the most eye-catching thing is the "Pedestrian Street" that is as popular as a gold and silver tripod. Although it does not have the color and hustle and bustle of a big city, it does have the lively and "busy" atmosphere of modern small and medium-sized cities.
Xuanpu County, where Xiao Zixin lives and works, was once world-famous for its Three Treasures of Northeast China and the "Anti-League", but that was in the old emperor's history.
After entering the 1990s, when the south wind moved north and industrial development hit China's ancient northern cities and villages like a tornado, Xuanpu also showed miracles and style, becoming the "pearl of the three northeastern provinces"
city".
What has brought great economic prosperity to Xuanpu is not primitive agriculture, nor forestry and minerals exploited by predatory methods, but tourism and green food industries that have greater potential and development than its original huge green resources - among which Xiongjiao City
The splendid "Pedestrian Street" in the center is indispensable.
Xiao Zixin felt a little uneasy after accepting Liu Bin's money, so he found an opportunity to send it back to him the next day.
He warned himself that he could not ask for Director Liu's money no matter what, but he would try his best to tell County Magistrate Gao about his matter, but he was not sure how to say it or when would be the appropriate time to say it. However, at the Petition Office, Liu Bin
In the office, the two of them pushed and pushed each other for a long time. Liu Bin refused to accept it and Xiao Zixin did not want it. They pushed and pushed back and forth. Liu Bin's words made Xiao Zixin completely powerless.
"Oh, Xiao Xiao, you let me down!" Liu Bin became anxious, his face turned red and his neck was thick with saliva, and he said, "You don't want to charge me, just because you don't want to help me?"
"No, Director Liu, don't think too much, I will definitely do it for you, but I really can't accept this money..."
Xiao Zixin knew that Liu Bin's salary was not high, he had a family to support, and his wife had not yet worked. This 5,000 yuan was enough for his salary for a year, so he thought about it last night and felt that he could not accept this money no matter what.
What's more, he has no idea whether the thing can be done or to what extent it can be done. It would be fine if the thing can be done, but what if it can't be done?
However, after some pushing and giving, especially after listening to Director Liu Bin's words, Xiao Zixin lost his strength and finally had to accept it again.
As the saying goes, secretarial work can be big or small. They can be sweet or not, and vinegar or sour.
The leaders of all agencies and departments and their achievements were ultimately reflected in the government work report at the end of the year. Therefore, Xiao Zixin also knew the importance of his position and gradually learned to often make fuss about numbers, including in the "
"Xuanpu News". Just for this number, heads of some departments often treat Xiao Zixin to dinner and drinks, and there are other benefits.
This is self-evident.
In addition, some people began to secretly invite Xiao Zixin to karaoke at night, and began to arrange some programs in addition to singing. Due to the avant-garde and loose local foreign investment policies in recent years, in order to attract more wealthy businessmen from home and abroad to invest here
Two years ago, the county party committee and the county government used a large sum of money from high taxes to build this pedestrian street in a prime location adjacent to the city center.
After the completion of this street, the seven largest restaurants in the city's catering and entertainment industry: "Tianci Palace", "Water Love", "Emperor", "Blue Whale", "Rolling Stone", "Leopard Division" and "Moon Tower"
The industry bosses also moved their respective entertainment businesses to new locations at the same time, each occupying a prominent position, and began a new round of overt or covert fighting and fighting with knives or guns.
Including County Magistrate Gao and Secretary Wang, they also often visit these entertainment venues and entertain Chinese and foreign businessmen who come to invest from afar.
Dignitaries, celebrities, wealthy businessmen, bosses, managers and tourists from other places gather here in Xuanpu. Even party and government officials and administrative law enforcement personnel such as the Public Prosecution and Justice Department, industrial and commercial taxation, price and urban management, and health supervision often secretly visit Xuanpu after work.
Come to these places for fun, and later even entertain important guests from higher-level departments and hold some meetings here, which became an open secret, making this iconic neighborhood of Xuanpu even more prosperous and lively.
Goulan brothels, teahouses and restaurants, which have been extinct for more than half a century, have also revived and their business is booming. Especially those Xiangchao Yancao, which is a complete pedestrian street, filled with pink, white and dark green, filling the streets and alleys, turning a unique modern building into a
The city has become a smog, and countless girls from good families and working girls have become ruined here.
That day, Xiao Zixin accompanied County Magistrate Gao and some merchants to the "Leopard Division" after dinner.
In the darkness, the merchants were laughing and chattering, and the ladies were chattering.
County Magistrate Gao was sitting aside drinking. Xiao Zixin felt that the opportunity had come. One Director Zhang and Director Yang went to the city for a meeting, and the other went to the province for further study. He was the only one who accompanied County Magistrate Gao. If he did not follow County Magistrate Gao at this time,
When can I tell you more about Director Liu Bin? He went to County Magistrate Gao’s office several times to deliver materials and "Government Affairs Information" but did not dare to mention it. Now...
He secretly glanced at County Magistrate Gao and knew that he was in a good mood, so he went over to pour him a drink, and then mustered up the courage to say: "County Magistrate Gao, there is something I... want to report to you."
"Ah," County Magistrate Gao nodded with a smile, "Say."
"It's the matter of Director Liu Bin," Xiao Zixin took out a piece of information and handed it to County Magistrate Gao with both hands, "He asked me to hand it to you personally. I never dared. Seeing that you are happy today, I..."
"oh!"
County Magistrate Gao took it and took out the materials under the light and looked at them: "This is Liu Bin! I also have his materials, why did you come through your back door?"
"Well, no, County Magistrate Gao, please don't get me wrong." Xiao Zixin felt something was wrong and hurriedly explained, "Didn't I work in the Petition Office when I just graduated? He was not kind to me, and I always felt that
I respect Director Liu very much. This time, he really has no choice. He is under great pressure at work and cannot tell the organization about his family difficulties, so he asked me to find an opportunity to talk to you and see if I can..."
County Magistrate Gao's face became serious, he paused, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, let's study it later."
