After returning to his home in Qingjiang from the capital, Anping was pulled into the guest room by his mother-in-law before he could take a breath. The moment he opened the door, Anping felt a buzzing in his head. He saw piles of people in the spacious guest room. It is filled with all kinds of gifts, including home appliances such as video players and projectors, toys such as remote control cars and electric cars, daily necessities such as clothes and shoes, wild ginseng, nutritional supplements such as royal jelly, and more There are a lot of high-end tobacco and alcoholic beverages, all kinds of products, and they are more complete than the products displayed on the counters of shopping malls.
"Let's see, they're all for you, County Magistrate An, and Secretary An. Chunhong and I can't decide which ones can be collected and which ones can't be collected. As soon as we said we wouldn't accept any of them, people just dropped their things and left, and they all piled up. Now, take a good look at it yourself. If it doesn't work, send it back to others. Don't cause any bad effects..." My mother-in-law is not very educated, but she also knows that only officials, not leaders, will give gifts. , who usually cares about you? This is the custom in Beijiang. If no one gives you gifts, it is a sign of incompetence. Only when someone gives you gifts can you show your nobility.
However, if ten or eight people come to give gifts, the mother-in-law will feel honored. But with such a swarm of swarms grabbing the gifts, the hands cramping when receiving the gifts, the pride in the mother-in-law's heart begins to turn into worry.
"Haha, the sky is three feet high..." Mother-in-law and Sister Chunhong worked very carefully. Each gift had a name written on it. Longxing Town accounted for almost half of them, and the rest were mostly from county departments. Although the gifts he gave were different, they were still within the scope of reciprocity. Anping shook his head mockingly.
Chinese people pay attention to courtesy and reciprocity. It is normal to give some gifts during the New Year and holidays. If you are too serious and refuse them all, your subordinates will be in trouble and think that you are unkind and unreasonable, which is not conducive to the harmonious relationship between colleagues. Therefore, Anping accepts these gifts as long as they are not excessive. If there are special circumstances and it is difficult to refuse, they will give some gifts in return. In this way, hello, me, and everyone is well. , so I can have a happy and peaceful New Year.
"Well, what's going on..." Suddenly, Anping's eyes stopped on a box of South Sea bird's nests. The name written on the note turned out to be Bai Changsong. Anping's face suddenly froze, and the second son of the Bai family actually came over. It's not normal to give a gift.
The Bai family and the Hong family are both one of the four major families. The exchanges for more than a hundred years, whether political or economic, cannot be sorted out. Because of this, the Bai family borrowed money from the Hong family. The light collapsed suddenly, even if he let the Bai family go for Bai Yaru's sake, it is obviously unrealistic to escape from the investigation team's menacing investigation without careful consideration. No matter the leaders here or the investigation team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, they are not sages who do not eat the fireworks of the world. They will never be soft when it is time to strike. It is estimated that the Bai family escaped and ascended to heaven by luck. The foundation they have accumulated over the past century is afraid. Yes, it's all gone.
It stands to reason that he has cut off the official careers of the Bai family and robbed the Bai family of the wealth they have accumulated over the past century. There is no doubt that the Bai family hates him. With such hatred, they will not draw circles behind his back. Cursing yourself is just like burning incense, but you can still give yourself gifts. This seems a bit unreasonable in theory.
After thinking about it for a long time, Anping didn't come up with a conclusion. He simply suppressed the doubts in his heart and turned to his mother-in-law and said: "Mom, most of these things are given by colleagues. Although they are a bit expensive, they are generally good. It's not beyond the scope of reciprocity, it's all a favor. I will return it at the appropriate time in the future. You don't have to worry. It's just that there are too many of these things for our family to eat or use. Look, there are relatives and friends who need to move around. You can just choose from here..."
"It's okay, it's okay. They are all high-end things. It would be a pity to give them away. I will collect them later and pick some cheap ones to share with relatives and friends..." When Anping said it was okay, The mother-in-law's worried heart was finally relieved. Her eyes swept over the various gifts, and her eyes were full of joy that could not be expressed in words.
After dinner, Anping was still thinking about the box of bird's nests sent by Bai Changsong. He felt that there was something meaningful in it. Moreover, these gifts also gave Anping a new understanding of courtesy and exchanges, and he also realized that he had a role in welcoming and delivering gifts. I am wondering if I should go out for a run. Others don’t have to go. Leaders of the Qingjiang Municipal Party Committee, such as Secretary Liu Tong, Deputy Secretary Zhao Maolin, Director Bao of the Organization Department, and Secretary Fu of the Discipline Inspection Commission should also run. Once you run away, things no longer matter, it’s just a thought.
It is true to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade, but being an official is not as good as being in charge. No matter how powerful the Qin family is, there will be times when water from a distance cannot quench the thirst of the people nearby. It is impossible to continue to deal with them in the future. Moreover, some relationships and connections, You can't always rely on the Qin family to get ahead. It's better to have your own parents than to have your own parents. If you establish your own social circle, you can move forward faster and more steadily in the future.
"Tick-tick-tick-tick..." Juanzai was thinking on the sofa when the cell phone placed aside made a pleasant ringtone. Anping grabbed the phone and took a look at it. He was so surprised that he didn't laugh out loud. It was Lei Xu who was calling. When the call came, I was just trying to find out what was going on in the city and make some preparations for the upcoming exchanges of gifts. Secretary Lei called me as if it was timely rain.
After answering the phone, Anping said with a smile before saying anything: "Hey, Secretary Lei, happy New Year, I was just about to call you, but your call just happened to come. What is this called? This is called telepathy..."
"Quickly pull them down. You are a young man and I am an old man. Why do we have a good understanding of each other? If you have a good understanding of each other, you should be a beautiful big girl, a little daughter-in-law or something. Don't you waste your youth by being romantic..." Anping joked, It seemed that Lei Xu had been infected. He was a master who laughed, cursed, and was beaming with joy. Naturally, he would not give up this opportunity for a verbal spat.
"Girl, little daughter-in-law, hey, one of us is sick and the other is lustful. Confucius said: food, sex and sex. It seems that our Secretary Lei is also well versed in the way of a gentleman..." If we talk about the common topics between men, women , or beautiful women are undoubtedly ranked first, and Lei Xu is a master in this way. It is said that when he was the county magistrate, there must be beautiful girls and young wives sitting with him at every wine shop, otherwise he would eat them. It was tasteless and boring to drink. After he became the secretary of the county party committee, he even hid a girl in the golden house in the east city of the county. He didn't know who poked it out, and he was often checked by the mother-in-law. This incident was once cited by the county cadres. Joking.
"Come on, I can't tell you. Just that little thing about a man and a woman hiding under the quilt, why does it have to do with the way of a gentleman? Does it have anything to do with it? Okay, let's not talk about it for now. I heard that you are back. Now, I have something serious to tell you. Something happened in the city..." Being exposed by Anping all of a sudden, Lei Xu's old face turned red. He knew that even Anping, who was far away in Shikuan, heard about the bad things he had done. Having said that, it really complies with the old saying that good things don't go out, and foreign affairs spread thousands of miles.
As soon as he got down to business, the expression on Lei Xu's face became serious, and his voice became gloomy as he said: "The province has decided on the mayor of Qingjiang. The Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has selected the executive deputy mayor of Xinfeng City, Hedong Province. Leng Ziqiang was transferred to our Qingjiang to serve as mayor. He said that the provincial leaders had delayed it for more than half a year, but in the end he could not withstand the pressure. It seemed that the person who came was evil. I am afraid that Secretary Liu's life will be difficult. We We can’t just wait and make plans..."
During the Spring Festival, it was a good time to visit the leaders, treat guests and give gifts. Lei Xu naturally had to do a lot of things, and it was also a good opportunity to exchange information during the exchange of cups and cups. This was how he got the news about the new mayor, but it was Lei Xu was sweating. Even though he was careless and vulgar, his political wisdom was no worse than anyone else. If the new mayor resisted being appointed by the Organization Department of the Central Committee, the influence of the provincial party committee on him would be reduced. Reduced to the lowest point, and since it is a selection and exchange, it means that they are trained as reserve cadres, and they must complete the reserve road in the shortest possible time and achieve a great leap from the department level to the deputy ministerial level.
As a result, the position of Liu Tong, the municipal party committee secretary, became embarrassing. A great turmoil had just occurred in Qingjiang, and the new bureaucratic group headed by the four major families had arrested more than 200 people. As the municipal party committee secretary, Liu Tong The responsibility cannot be shied away. To keep him in this position, Secretary Song has tried his best to help him. The possibility of going further has been cut off. He cannot be promoted. How much can he stay where he is? It is also a comfort. At this time, a mayor came over to exchange and cultivate, and was eager to take office. Liu Tong became a stumbling block in the way, and he was the kind of person who could be removed quickly.
Lei Xu can see this, and others can naturally draw such a conclusion. Therefore, no one knows what Mayor Leng looks like, what his abilities are, and what his temper is, but Mayor Leng has not yet arrived, but there are already widespread rumors in Qingjiang City. What's more, according to rumors, many department leaders are optimistic about Mayor Leng's development and have quietly rushed to Xinfeng City, ready to hug Mayor Wang's lap in advance. , the saying that one needs to join in early so that he can be the first to get the upper hand, is generally speaking of these people. After hearing the news, Lei Xu couldn't sit still. As soon as he heard that Anping was back, he hurriedly called to discuss. Afraid of falling behind others.
"Oh, Hedong Province, Xinfeng City, hum, no house thieves can attract outside ghosts, it seems that the trees want to be quiet but the wind is not stopping..." Hedong Province is adjacent to Gyeonggi and has always been the base area of the academic sect. Needless to say, what is the stance of the cadres who came out? They must be the best among the academic reserve cadres. It is obvious that this leader is working as an assistant for Governor Li.
