Hou Tianlong is Qi Shengjie's man, and naturally he is also a cadre of Bi Yuntao's group. Lu Rui, the guy who has repeatedly contradicted Bi Yuntao, is naturally a cadre with no future in his eyes. In fact, it has been spread among the cadres in the entire county.
The reason why Lu Rui took over the hot potato of rural community construction was simply because the leaders prepared a scapegoat.
When the work is done well, it is because the leaders make good decisions and give strong guidance. If mistakes are made and people are angry, then everything will be fine if Lu Rui, a young man, is pushed out.
Of course, this idea is also limited to the top leaders of each department, and the source of the information is also the county party committee leaders they rely on.
Hou Tianlong's main purpose today was to see Qu Weimin take office, and he picked up Lu Rui on the way, and then went to the Construction Committee. He didn't care that Hejia Town did not organize a farewell party. After all, Lu Rui was not one of his own.
Whatever happens has nothing to do with you.
Neither of the two people spoke in the car. Except for the first few polite words, the rest was silence. Just when the car drove to the entrance of Hejia Town, an unexpected scene happened to Hou Tianlong.
.
Just on the main road at the entrance of the town, hundreds of people, regardless of gender, old or young, were blocking the newly built wide road, blocking the direction of the car.
"What, what's going on?" Hou Tianlong panicked and turned to Lu Rui and asked.
After all, although Lu Rui is no longer the mayor of Hejia Town, he has worked here for nearly a year, so he must have some understanding.
Lu Rui was also stunned, and he didn't know why. No one had recently reported what went wrong down there. After glancing at Hou Tianlong, who was a little dissatisfied, Lu Rui said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Minister Hou, it's probably not causing trouble.
"
Hou Tianlong snorted coldly, opened the door and walked out of the car with Lu Rui.
When he walked in front of the group of people, Lu Rui was stunned. The leader was Chen Mingde, the village chief of Chenjiazhuang.
"Old village chief, what are you doing?" Lu Rui frowned and asked.
Chen Mingde did not speak, but turned around and waved behind him. A child about sixteen or seventeen years old came out, wearing the uniform of the County No. 1 Middle School.
"Uncle Lu." The child walked up to Lu Rui and said respectfully.
Lu Rui was stunned, touched the child's head, and asked kindly: "Gouzi, why are you back? Is school on holiday today?"
This kid is the kid that Lu Rui paid to send him to school. His nickname is Chen Zhaohui. He rushed back from school today just to see off his great benefactor.
Chen Zhaohui looked at Lu Rui, and the teenage boy burst into tears.
"Uncle, I am not a fool. Gouwa will remember your great kindness to me for the rest of his life. The uncles and gentlemen in the village also remember your kindness. Knowing that you are an upright official, I will eat a bowl of noodles at anyone's house in the village.
You need money, so today my father asked me to come and give you a bowl of water on behalf of the whole village. No matter where you go in the future, the people of Chenjiazhuang will definitely remember your kindness."
With that said, he took a bowl of water from Chen Mingde's hand and handed it to Lu Rui.
Chen Mingde on the side said: "Secretary Xiao Lu, during the year you were in our town, the young and old men will all remember you, and the children will also remember your words and will definitely read them. No matter where you go, if you don't
If things go well, then come back to our Chenjiazhuang. Now that we have money, you can lead us to work, and everyone will feel happy."
Lu Rui's eyes were moist. He didn't expect that he had just done something for the people of Chenjiazhuang, something that any conscientious and responsible cadre should do. The people here would take him into their hearts.
When Chen Zhaohui handed over the clear water, Lu Rui felt for the first time that everything he had done since his rebirth was worthwhile. If not for anything else, just because this bowl of clear water contained deep affection when he left.
"Mayor Lu, drink it!"
"Yes, Secretary Xiao Lu."
The villagers tried to persuade Lu Rui. The mountain people were simple and simple. In their simple thinking, Lu Rui was a good person and a good official. If such a person was to leave, they should do something as a matter of course.
Lu Rui was also a little excited. Without saying anything, he picked up the bowl of water and drank it in one gulp. Then he bowed deeply to the villagers and remained silent for a long time.
Lu Rui didn't speak when he returned to the car. Hou Tianlong beside him didn't speak either, but his expression softened a lot. He was also a person who had worked at the grassroots level and had reached his current position step by step. Although
He was not in the same faction as Lu Rui, but today's scene shocked him. After all, a cadre who could let the masses spontaneously organize to send gifts would at least not be a bad person. What made him even more emotional was that such a promising person
young people, but are about to become victims of factional struggles.
Any official is not willing to fight with others when he first enters the officialdom. Even if he is a corrupt official, he entered the official career with enthusiasm at the beginning. But later, due to changes in the environment,
Coupled with the fact that his ability to resist temptation is not strong enough, he gradually became a corrupt official.
Although Hou Tianlong is not a corrupt official, he is an old official. He has been used to ups and downs for a long time. He has also been the deputy minister of the Organization Department for eight years, but what he saw today still shocked him.
. He was even thinking, if one day he left Shun'an County, would anyone send him off?
If I go back to a certain township where I was the party secretary, will anyone remember me?
He is not sure, but what he can be sure of is that whenever Lu Rui returns to Hejia Town and this land, the people in this land will treat him as an honored guest. Even if Lu Rui doesn't
He will come back again, but what he has done for this place will always be remembered by the people here.
"As an official, as long as you can do a good deed for the masses so that they will remember you for a lifetime, that will be enough fun." This is what Hou Tianlong memorized when he listened to an old professor's speech at the Provincial Party School.
I never understood what it meant, but today I do.
"Xiao Lu, do you have any preparations for the work of the Construction Committee?" Hou Tianlong hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked.
Lu Rui was stunned. He didn't expect Hou Tianlong to actually take the initiative to talk to him. At this time, Lu Rui was still immersed in the sadness just now, but his reaction was also very quick. He smiled and said: "Minister Hou is joking, I am a real layman."
, what kind of preparations can I make? Just take it one step at a time. Besides, the leaders of the county party committee sent me to be responsible for the construction of new rural communities, and I am mainly prepared to focus on this."
He naturally knew who Minister Hou was, and he was naturally cautious when he spoke, fearing that the other party would accidentally catch a flaw in his language.
Hou Tianlong shook his head, smiled bitterly at Lu Rui's cautious look, and said pointedly: "Comrade Weimin has done a very good job in the Construction Committee. I heard that many comrades appreciate his professional ability."
After saying that, Hou Tianlong simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Lu Rui was stunned. He never expected that Vice Minister Hou would actually mention him. He had never thought about the so-called tiger's body shaking and the bastard's anger. He was just a regular cadre.
In Hou Tianlong's eyes, he is just a young boy, so why should he extend an olive branch to him? Is there a conspiracy?
He never thought that it was because of the actions of the villagers in Chenjiazhuang that the fire that had long been extinguished in Hou Tianlong's heart would occasionally burn. It was this flame that prompted him to extend a helping hand to Lu Rui and remind Lu Rui.
Rui, the Construction Committee is now being run like an iron bucket by Qu Weimin. With the new official Lu Rui taking office, I am afraid life will not be so easy.
Sure enough, when Lu Rui followed Hou Tianlong to the Construction Committee, the scene in front of him really surprised him.
Under the office building of the Construction Committee, a large group of people were waiting for Lu Rui and others.
There were four people in total, who seemed to be the main leaders of the construction committee.
"Director Lu, welcome, welcome!"
As soon as Lu Rui got out of the car, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked up, held Lu Rui's hand and said enthusiastically.
Then the man smiled at Hou Tianlong and said, "Thank you, Minister Hou, for sending Director Lu from our Construction Committee over."
Lu Rui frowned. This person had such an attitude when he came up, which really made him a little unhappy. I came to be the top leader of the Construction Committee. What are you talking about about welcome, welcome, and making a plane! It is said to be warm and hospitable, but to put it bluntly, it is not
Position yourself right!
Hou Tianlong smiled, nodded at the middle-aged man, and then smiled at Lu Rui and said: "This is Ji Chunzheng, deputy secretary of the party group and deputy director of the Construction Committee, and he is also an old comrade of Shun'an County."
Lu Ruiha smiled, held Ji Chunzheng's hand and shook it: "I am a layman, so I will need Deputy Director Ji to help me more in the future."
When Ji Chunzheng heard what Lu Rui said, he laughed a few times before replying: "Director Lu, you're welcome, let's learn from each other, make progress together, and make progress together." After saying this, Ji Chunzheng pointed to a few people behind him.
, introduce them one by one to Lu Rui.
The three people behind him are all members of the Party Committee of the Construction Committee, one of whom is the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and the other two are deputy directors of the Construction Committee.
After getting to know each other, before Ji Chunzheng could speak, Lu Rui smiled at Hou Tianlong and said, "Minister Hou, since you are here at our Construction Committee, you don't have to be polite. Please come in."
Hou Tianlong was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Lu Rui thoughtfully, and nodded secretly in his heart, this kid's head turned really fast.
Ji Chunzheng played a trick just now, treating Lu Rui as an outsider in front of many cadres, but Lu Rui immediately returned the favor. Anyway, he was the legitimate leader. It was normal for him to take the initiative to ask superiors to join the unit. This made him treat Lu Rui as the master just now.
The self-proclaimed Ji Chunzheng is really shameless.
Glancing at the smiling Lu Rui, Hou Tianlong thought to himself: "What an amazing young man!"
