The development of the situation was far beyond Zhang Zhiyuan's imagination. Looking at Xu Wannian's badly mutilated body on the ground, he sighed and said to Lu Yiwei, "I'll go to the city right away. You deal with the aftermath. Remember! Don't let anyone know about what happened just now. I won't forgive anyone who dares to leak a word. Also, take Xu Wannian to a small hospital in another city and treat him well. As for the rest … we'll talk about it later. "Then he lifted his leaden legs and slowly walked out of the door.
Lu Yiwei was also frightened by the scene. He nodded dully and hurried to support Zhang Zhiyuan, saying, "Secretary Zhang, I'll walk you downstairs."
Zhang Zhiyuan pushed Lu Yiwei away and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry about me. Hurry up and take care of Xu Wannian."
Looking at Zhang Zhiyuan's miserable back, Lu Yiwei's heart was in turmoil and he couldn't tell what he was feeling.
Xu Wannian, who was in his fifties, was lying on the ground twitching. His face was covered with blood, his eyes were bulging, his lips were purple, and his hair had fallen to the ground. Beside him was a cheque of 200,000 yuan. Xu Wannian's arrogance had paid a heavy price, and he had also learned how powerful Li Chunni was.
Looking at the pitiful Xu Wannian, Lu Yiwei felt both hatred and pity. Following Zhang Zhiyuan's instructions, he helped him slowly to the sofa and called Li Haidong to drive over. Ten minutes later, he and Li Haidong left Nanyang County in the car under the cover of the night.
At 8: 30 pm, Zhang Zhiyuan sat in the living room next to Qin Xiuwen's office, waiting anxiously. His stomach was growling, and the scene of Yang Tongyao whipping Xu Wannian still appeared in his mind. He didn't know whether Qin Xiuwen would punish him or not, so he decided to leave everything to fate.
Half an hour later, Li Qinkui, the secretary general of the Municipal Party Committee, came out of the office and said softly, "Zhiyuan, come in."
Zhang Zhiyuan stood up, straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.
This was Qin Xiuwen's second conversation since he took office. The first time was to report on the selection of the Deputy County Head. Qin Xiuwen acknowledged and supported it. And this time, he was more or less in a sorry and dejected state.
Qin Xiuwen came down from the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department. Years of working in the organization department had trained him to be serious and expressionless. No matter what he said, it was impossible to tell whether he was happy, angry, sad, or happy. No one could tell what he was thinking.
"Have a seat!" Qin Xiuwen pointed to the sofa beside him and said in a low voice with an exhausted expression.
Zhang Zhiyuan sat down in fear and trepidation. He nodded slightly at Li Qinkui, who was sitting opposite him. He took out a cigarette and handed it to Qin Xiuwen with both hands. He also took out a lighter to light the cigarette for Qin Xiuwen. However, Qin Xiuwen waved his hand and Zhang Zhiyuan could only return to his seat in boredom.
"Qin Kui, you go out first. I'll chat with Zhiyuan for a while. Also, don't let anyone in! "Qin Xiuwen said sternly.
After Li Qinkui left, Qin Xiuwen tidied up the things on the table and pondered on how to start the conversation. Zhang Zhiyuan, who was sitting beside Qin Xiuwen, felt like he was sitting on pins and needles when Qin Xiuwen didn't speak.
After a long time, Zhang Zhiyuan took the initiative and said, "Secretary Qin, I didn't anticipate this incident well. I didn't handle it well and that's why it happened. I apologize to you!"
Qin Xiuwen ignored him and placed a stack of documents on the table. He looked at Zhang Zhiyuan and said, "Zhiyuan, let me ask you a question. Do you think you're suitable to be the Secretary of the County Party Committee?"
Zhang Zhiyuan panicked when he heard this. He didn't know what Qin Xiuwen was trying to do. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Secretary Qin, I'll be honest with you. I don't think I'm qualified enough to work at the grassroots level. Ever since I became the Mayor of Nanyang, I've been on tenterhooks. I've always been respectful and down-to-earth. I've always been cautious and cautious. I haven't achieved much, but I have a clear conscience. I'm worthy of the organization's nurturing, the leader's trust, and my own conscience."
Qin Xiuwen didn't have the heart to criticize Zhang Zhiyuan's heartfelt words. He said, "I know you very well. You don't lust for power, don't be greedy, don't take credit, don't form cliques, don't play favoritism, and don't abuse your power. People like you are rare in Bei Zhou and even the entire province. There's no doubt about this. I have absolute trust in you.
"Your achievements in the two years you've been in Nanyang County are obvious to all. You've received the approval of the Provincial Party Committee's Secretary Huang. I agree with this as well. However, you're still lacking in terms of coordination and coordination. There's still a big problem in terms of unity. Do you agree with what I said? "
Zhang Zhiyuan blushed and nodded.
Qin Xiuwen continued, "Actually, I've always been curious and puzzled. Why do so many people oppose a good comrade like you? From what I know, you don't have many people you can use in Nanyang County. You often fight alone and charge into enemy lines. Why? Not only do you tire yourself out by doing this, but you also don't get good results. Have you summarized your reasons? "
Zhang Zhiyuan had never considered this question. He slowly raised his head and met Qin Xiuwen's sharp eyes. He was eager to find out his own problems and shortcomings.
Qin Xiuwen touched the cigarette on the table and lit it. He said, "I've been a group leader my whole life. I've met countless people. I don't need to know too much about a person's strengths and weaknesses. One conversation is enough. "I'll summarize your problem. That's conceit. You think you're from a professional class and studied economics. You're naturally good at economic development. Actually, you've already distanced yourself from others by having this kind of thinking, right? "
The cigarette in Zhang Zhiyuan's hand was already burnt to the end and emitted a burnt smell. However, he didn't notice it and followed Qin Xiuwen's train of thought.
Qin Xiuwen continued, "When you teamed up with Liu Kecheng, he ostracized you. Now that you teamed up with Yang Derong, he's not convinced of you. I've been thinking about why this happened. After a long period of observation, not only are you conceited, but you're also a little arrogant. You think that someone is supporting you from behind, so you don't put anyone in your eyes. Instead of uniting, you're taking the opportunity to clean up. There's only one outcome for you. Everyone will oppose you. Isn't that right? "
Qin Xiuwen was indeed someone who had been fighting on the frontlines for many years. He was cunning and ruthless when it came to looking at problems. He went straight for Zhang Zhiyuan's sore spot. Looking at Zhang Zhiyuan's silence, Qin Xiuwen sat up and said, "Don't be unhappy with what I said. Looking at it from another perspective, I'm encouraging you and caring for you. Take today's incident for example. I could've criticized you and ordered you to write a self-reflection, but I didn't. Do you understand my intentions? "
"I understand, I understand!" Zhang Zhiyuan nodded. He didn't even notice a puddle of cigarette ash on his pants.
"There's one more thing that I'm particularly puzzled about. Why didn't you want to go when the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, Luo Zhongyuan, wanted to transfer you to the Provincial Enterprise Reform Office?" Qin Xiuwen continued.
Zhang Zhiyuan raised his head. He didn't know where to look. "Secretary Qin, I didn't want to go because I had my own reasons. It's also for the sake of Nanyang County. Nanyang County is rich in mineral resources, but it's still one of the poorest counties in the country. Some of the people don't even have enough to eat and wear. I'm worried about it. Furthermore, I've already made plans for Nanyang County's future development. I want to make a name for myself and change the face of Nanyang County. I don't want to use this opportunity to amass wealth or get promoted. "
"Mhm." Qin Xiuwen was satisfied with Zhang Zhiyuan's answer. "It's rare for you to have such a sense of responsibility. If all the officials in Bei Zhou City were like you, there would be no need to worry about development. Let's go back to the previous topic. You can do whatever you want if you have ambitions, but don't forget that you can't do it alone. As an official, you have to be an athlete and also a referee. The long journey of ten thousand miles is not completed by one person. It's done by a group, a large group! The first of the three treasures of the Party is the united front. What about your front? Are you alone? Oh, right, not just you. There's also the young man beside you. What's his name again? "
"Lu Yiwei." Zhang Zhiyuan said shamefully.
"Mhm." Qin Xiuwen said, "After saying so much, you should be able to find your own gaps and shortcomings. I hope you'll learn more in the future. Unite with your comrades and make Nanyang County beautiful. I've seen the annual data from the Finance Department. Nanyang County's revenue this year reached 120 million yuan, breaking the 100 million mark. You've moved up one place in the city. It's not easy. I can see that you've really worked hard. I'm very pleased. "
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Nanyang County's achievements are all thanks to Secretary Qin's guidance and support."
"Don't flatter me. I don't like it!" Qin Xiuwen said ruthlessly, "Of course, I'm not asking you to be united for an unlimited amount of tolerance. You can't go back and conspire with others to do immoral and intolerable things. You can't be soft-hearted. "
"Thanks to Secretary Qin's guidance, I've been enlightened. I'll implement the Municipal Party Committee's decision to the letter and work with other comrades to get rid of the poverty hat tomorrow." Zhang Zhiyuan said modestly.
"Alright!" Qin Xiuwen suddenly changed the topic and said, "I'm very angry about what happened today. Let's not talk about Yang Tongyao's arrogance. That Xu Wannian is a bastard. He dared to ask for money in broad daylight. He must be punished."
Zhang Zhiyuan asked carefully, "Secretary Qin, what do you think is appropriate?"
