On the way to Long 'an County, Executive Deputy Minister Jiao Haibo offered to share the same car with Lu Yiwei. Lu Yiwei gladly accepted such a friendly attitude. After all, he is not familiar with this place, and he might have to work in this land for a long time in the future.
Jiao Haibo is in his 50s. He looks kind, gentle, and approachable. After getting in the car, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation. "Secretary Lu, you must be the youngest county party secretary in our province, right?"
Lu Yiwei replied modestly. "Thank you for your compliment. I have not done the statistics, and I am not sure about the situation in other counties."
"Oh, I heard you were the County party committee secretary in 2003?"
"No. I was in charge for some special reasons, and it was only for a few months."
"That's still impressive. You were at most in your early 30s at that time. I was still working in a small town at your age. Youth is capital. With such good conditions, you will surely improve quickly. I am guessing you will not last more than 3 years in Long 'an County. "
Lu Yiwei replied ambiguously. "No one can predict the future. I might even stay here for 10 years."
"Haha. That's impossible. Your achievements had been spread a few years ago. You are capable and courageous. There are too few young and promising leaders like you. Furthermore, you are a provincial leader. You are only here for a transition, and you will return to Beijing soon. "
Jiao Haibo's tone was full of envy, but not malicious. Before coming here, Bai Zongfeng had told him more than once to go down and wait for the right opportunity to transfer back. If it was a few years ago, Lu Yiwei would have believed it. But now, he had passed the age of fantasizing about the future. Other than relying on himself, no one else can do it.
Lu Yiwei changed the topic. "Department Head Jiao, which unit did you work in previously?"
Jiao Haibo sighed. "My life is not as good as yours. I stayed in the County for almost 30 years, and I was transferred back two years ago. I had done many jobs, but the longest time I worked in the organization department was nearly 20 years, and I stopped at Chengwen County's Organization Department. In order to make room for others, I was transferred back to the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. I've seen your resume. You've done group work before, right? "
"Yes, it wasn't a long time, but that period of time was the most unforgettable for me. I learned a lot of knowledge."
Jiao Haibo said with the attitude of a big brother, "Organizing is not an easy job. It's full of things that offend people. This is especially true when it comes to selecting people. Sometimes, the real talents can't come up, and those who come up are all people who use their connections to go through the back door. Sigh! "
By saying this, he at least treated Lu Yiwei as a friend. Otherwise, who would dare to bring up such obscure topics in front of someone they had just met? If it were to reach the ears of a leader one day, he would lose his integrity. Without understanding the other party's situation, Lu Yiwei didn't easily say anything. He only responded with a smile.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Jiao Haibo changed the topic, "You've just arrived, so you're not familiar with Long An's situation. This county is the poorest and most remote county in Nanzhou. Many people are unwilling to go to the countryside there. "Not to mention the long distance, the roads are not easy to travel. A round trip would take four to five hours, and half a day would be gone. "In addition, the people there are tough and barbaric. Thieves and hoodlums are the majority. When outsiders hear that it's Long An County, they will all hide far away, deliberately excluding outsiders. "Therefore, many people are unwilling to work in this place. "In the past five years, there have been three successive secretaries of the County party committee, and all of them had problems. It's a bit shocking."
Lu Yiwei listened and thought at the same time. He asked with interest, "What problems?"
Jiao Haibo drank a bit at noon, so he was a bit talkative. In addition, he was a talkative person, so he started talking non-stop, "The first secretary fell because of the coal mine, the second secretary took the initiative to resign, and the third secretary also fell because of the coal mine, saying that it was because of financial problems and manpower problems, but in fact, everyone knew that it was because of the pressure from the local forces, and they couldn't continue working, so they were kicked out of Long An County."
"In fact, before you came, the city had initially decided that Long An County's County Magistrate, Liu Zhankui, would take over as the County party committee secretary. But after receiving the notice from the province, they had to reconsider the adjustment."
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. No wonder Shao Zhongjie was indifferent to him. It turned out that he had ruined his plan. Besides, if the situation in Long An County was really as he said, it seemed that his future work would be difficult. He couldn't help but ask, "What's County Magistrate Liu like?"
At the mention of this topic, Jiao Haibo was relatively vigilant. "Zhan Kui is from Long An County, and he has a lot of work experience. At the age of 30, he was promoted from the County Secretary to the Deputy County Magistrate. At that time, it caused quite a stir in the city, and everyone felt that he had a bright future. Who knew that his pace of advancement would slow down, and he only served as the Deputy County Magistrate for two terms before he finally squeezed into the Standing Committee. He served another term before he was promoted to the County Magistrate's position, and this is his eighth year in office. "
"Zhan Kui has a bad temper, and he is straightforward with his words. Sometimes, he speaks without thinking. Maybe it's because of this character that he can't move forward. But he also has his strengths, and he is very good at carrying out tasks. He is usually the first to complete the tasks given by the city, and the local officials are more afraid of him. "
Jiao Haibo's words were vague, but Lu Yiwei understood what he was trying to say. Zhan Kui had been controlling the Long An government for a long time, and he was obstinate, self-opinionated, and did things his own way. Not surprisingly, he was the one who pushed out the previous few County Magistrates. With such a capable person, it seems that there will be a protracted war with him in the future.
Lu Yiwei had always been amenable to coaxing but not coercion, and he was not afraid of unreasonable people. The more character a person had, the easier it was for him to expose his shortcomings. He was able to tame ambitious people like Zhang Dongzi, Niu Fuyong, and Li Haidong, so why would he be afraid of one person? On the contrary, it was difficult to guard against those who hid a dagger behind a smile.
As Jiao Haibo spoke, he had been observing Lu Yiwei's every move. What surprised him was that Lu Yiwei was extremely calm, and he displayed a maturity that did not match his age. No wonder he was doing well in the upper echelons, he naturally had his own strengths. Regardless of what others thought, he was determined to be friends with him. Not to mention his character, just the power behind him made him worthy of a deep friendship.
He changed the topic and said, "There is a certain historical reason why the Long An government is in a mess. There has been no promotion for nearly ten years, and some of the heads of important departments are about the same age as me, and there is a serious gap. Therefore, I suggest that you put more effort into the organization after you take office. Get rid of a batch of old people, and promote a batch of young officials. This way, you can ensure orderly succession, and work with passion and vigor. "
"Thank you for your advice, Department Head Jiao. This is my first time here, and if there is anything I don't understand in the future, I will have to consult you. "
