Li Jianwei and Lu Yiwei from the government office had been working together for a long time. The two of them were very close, and Zhao Dongsheng had only joined this small group after being suppressed. The four of them were in the same boat and had to depend on each other.
Li Jianwei was fat, so everyone called him Fatty Li. He was an honest person, and he did not mind it. He got used to it after hearing it for a long time.
After the four of them sat down, the Discipline Inspection Commission's Deputy Secretary, Zhao Dongsheng, spoke first, "Yiwei, your North River Town's Party Secretary, Wei Guoqiang, is probably in trouble. Reports about him have been sent to the province, city, and even the county. I heard that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has issued an order to investigate and deal with this matter seriously. Haha, this is good news! "
Wei Guoqiang's character was notorious in Nanyang County, but he chose the right path and directly climbed the big tree of the county's Party Secretary. He became Liu Kecheng's favorite and had been doing very well these few years. There were rumors that Wei Guoqiang might be transferred to the Bureau of Land and Resources.
Lu Yiwei knew the ins and outs of the matter, so he indifferently smiled and said, "Everything has a cause and effect. Wei Guoqiang will be reported sooner or later. It seems that the heavens have pity on him." If Wei Guoqiang could fall from power, it would only be beneficial for Lu Yiwei.
Zhao Dongsheng took a sip of tea. "But it's not certain. If County party committee Secretary Liu wants to protect him, he might pass. He's Secretary Liu's lapdog, wagging his tail and sticking his tongue out to please his master. If it were us, who could do that? "
Li Jianwei grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started to crack them. He spat out the melon seed shells that were stuck to his lips onto the ground and said, "Liu Kecheng has always been an autocrat in Nanyang County. It's said that during a standing committee meeting, the newly transferred County Magistrate Zhang proposed a major traffic project next year. Liu Kecheng said 'the county doesn't have the money' and turned him down. County Zhang may look young, but he has the shadow of County Head Chu. Unfortunately, as a newcomer, he can't do much for Nanyang. I really hope that he can do something good for Nanyang. That dilapidated road really needs to be repaired. "
In June this year, the Bei Zhou Municipal Party Committee changed the County Head of Nanyang County. They chose a highly educated and energetic County Head for Nanyang. They were determined to make this County Head change the poor and backward image of Nanyang in a short period of time. Therefore, the former Deputy Director of the Municipal Transportation Bureau, Zhang Zhiyuan, was parachuted in by helicopter.
The most important thing in the officialdom was background. In simple terms, there were "parachutes" and "locals". This concept was not difficult to understand. "Parachutes" referred to people who were transferred to a certain place. These people were generally young and had been working in the government all year round. They had no grassroots work experience, but these people often had a strong background. The "nativists" generally referred to those who had climbed up step by step. These people had rich work experience, wide connections, and a certain social foundation.
For example, a traditional handicraft tofu shop that had built a certain customer base after a lifetime of hard work suddenly appeared next to a tofu shop that had no experience and relied on modern equipment to compete with it. Of course, they would look down on each other. Traditional craftsmen said that modern equipment processors were impetuous, not practical, and too eager for success, while modern equipment processors said that traditional craftsmen were too conservative and did not dare to break through the rules. This led to the materialistic dialectical relationship of Marxism-Leninism. Then, who was looking at the problem from the perspective of development? It seemed that the "Westernization Movement" had also had a fierce dispute on this issue.
Of course, there were far more than these two factions in the officialdom. "Fellow Townsman", "Fellow School", and so on were intertwined in the middle. The officialdom could be said to be tolerant and full of flowers. But the most intuitive faction was the alliance of interests. As long as there were common interests, no matter what faction, they could help and tolerate each other.
Ma Zhiming had known Zhang Zhiyuan when he was the director of the Transportation Bureau. At that time, Zhang Zhiyuan was just a section chief of the Transportation Management Section of the Municipal Transportation Bureau. He did not expect him to become the county magistrate in a few years. He had to sigh at the impermanence of life. Ma Zhiming knew the traffic situation of Nanyang County best. He said with deep hatred, "If the traffic problem of Nanyang County is not solved, don't think about big development. The slogan 'If you want to be rich, build roads first' has been shouted for many years. Other counties and urban areas are doing a lot of traffic, but our Nanyang County is good. The thunder is loud, but the rain is small. Every year, the slogan is shouted, but there is no real action. Look at the newly built office building of the Finance Bureau. At least the money for a road has been spent. Alas! "
Lu Yiwei was far away from politics and did not care much about the situation in the county. But seeing that the former "Chu Faction" still had such fighting spirit, he felt ashamed. But looking back, even if he was willing to contribute to the construction of Nanyang, who would remember him as a person on the edge of politics?
Although the four people often met, the topic of discussion basically revolved around the political structure of the county. The slight difference was that they all talked about their own work. Fatty Li of the government office would always talk about the delicate relationship between the County party committee and the government. The discipline inspection leader Zhao Dongsheng liked to reveal some little secrets of the leaders and officials to everyone. Although Ma Zhiming of the Tourism Bureau was the head, the leaders of the county seemed to have forgotten the existence of the Tourism Bureau. He was idle all day long, and the topic of discussion always stayed in the past. Lu Yiwei did not have anything in common. They were talking about politics, and he was talking about his orchard. They were talking about the County's leaders, and he was talking about his Party branch. It was obvious that they were not on the same page. So, Lu Yiwei consciously chose to remain silent. Through this gathering, he learned about the latest and most timely gossip.
After the party, Lu Yiwei drove Ma Zhiming home. When they arrived at Ma Zhiming's house, Lu Yiwei suddenly asked, "Chief Ma, has County Magistrate Chu contacted you recently?"
Hearing Lu Yiwei's question, Ma Zhiming retracted one of his legs, leaned back in the seat, lit a cigarette, and said, "The most recent contact was when he was going to be the director of the Municipal Bureau of Culture. There was no contact after that."
Lu Yiwei was even more disappointed. He held the steering wheel and said, "Oh."
Ma Zhiming knew what Lu Yiwei wanted to ask. He sighed and said, "Yiwei, County Magistrate Chu is not easy. He has his difficulties, but it is certain that he has not forgotten us. When the time comes, he will naturally contact us. You can rest assured."
Lu Yiwei did not speak. He raised his head and looked at the roadside.
Ma Zhiming patted Lu Yiwei's shoulder and said, "I know you have been wronged over the years, but aren't I the same? At this time, you and I should not be discouraged. Cheer up. In the near future, it will be better. "
Lu Yiwei sneered, shook his head, and said, "I have waited for five years. I don't mind waiting for another five years, but can I afford to wait?"
