Zhao Yongsheng was originally confident about the election of Qinglin Town: Qin Feiyue walked away, looking at Qinglin Town, who can be the opponent?

When Vice Chairman of the National People's Congress Xiao Weiguo appeared in front of him nervously, he joked: "Chairman Xiao, what makes you so anxious? If you are calm when facing major events, this is your motto."

Xiao Weiguo ignored Zhao Yongsheng's joke and said anxiously: "Secretary Zhao, this matter is not easy to deal with. Cheng Yaojin appeared in the middle, and the third representative group launched a new candidate for deputy mayor."

Zhao Yongsheng's face immediately became serious and said, "Who brought it up and who was it?"

"It was proposed by Yan Guoan from Dushi Village. He proposed to list Hou Weidong as a candidate for deputy mayor. Zeng Xiangang, Qin Dajiang and twelve others agreed. According to the provisions of the Election Law, their proposal was valid."

When Zhao Yongsheng heard that the candidate was Hou Weidong, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. He stood up and said, "Who is this Yan National Anthem? I'm not familiar with it?"

"He is from Dushi Village. He has been the president before. He has lived in his daughter's house in Shazhou for a long time since last year."

Although Hou Weidong did not have a single official position, he was famous in Qinglin Town, especially in Shangqinglin. This time he was invited by the procuratorate, and the villagers of Shangqinglin signed a sign by ten thousand people. This shows that Zhao Yongsheng had a lot of calculations, but he never expected that Hou Weidong, who was far away in Shangqinglin, would suddenly appear. He couldn't help scratching his head and said, "Can the proposal be revoked?"

Xiao Tianguo smiled bitterly and said, "This proposal was written in black and white. It is illegal to revoke it."

Zhao Yongsheng thought for a while and said, "Give me the list of twelve people."

Xiao Tianguo was prepared for a long time and handed the signing list to Zhao Yongsheng.

Zhao Yongsheng took a look. The twelve people were all village cadres in Qinglin. He quickly clarified his thoughts and said, "In this way, I will talk to Zeng Xiangang and Qin Dajiang. You will talk to Yan Guoge and Yang Binggang. For the others, Secretary Jiang and Ning Yong, deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, will find someone to talk to. If it cannot be removed, be sure to make these people put the overall situation first. With the development of Qinglin Town, the candidates designated by the organization will be selected."

Qin Dajiang was called to the secretary's office. After closing the door, Zhao Yongsheng's face was frosty. He said, "Qin Dajiang, what are you doing? The three candidates were decided by the organization. Do you want to sing a stage opera with the Yiyang County Party Committee and the county government? It's really a mess. Yan Guoan, a person who doesn't listen to hello, how did you recommend him as the party branch secretary?"

Qin Dajiang looked bitter. "Yan Guoan is the old president. You reviewed the representatives when he was electing. Now that he is here, how can I know? He asked for my opinion, I signed a name by the way."

"Hmph, what a good thing, sign this word. If an election accident occurs, I will only ask."

"Secretary Zhao. Our group is all from Qinglin. If I don't sign and pass it on, how can I get along with Hou Weidong? He was sent by the town government to our village and the imperial envoy who specializes in our charge."

"Don't worry about this. After the meeting, I will transfer Hou Weidong to Xiaqinglin. You are the old branch secretary, so you must have organizational principles."

Qin Dajiang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, although I signed the letter, I will definitely be able to implement the organization's intentions when voting. I have been educated by the party for so many years, and I still have this awareness."

After seeing Qin Dajiang away, Zhao Yongsheng was even more unsure. Most of these branch secretaries were traitors. They said it well in person, but they didn't know what to do when they voted.

When Zeng Xian first came in, he sat opposite Zhao Yongsheng with one eye. Zhao Yongsheng threw a cigarette and said, "Director Zeng, you have no health." Zeng Xiangang returned the cigarette to Zhao Yongsheng and said, "Secretary Zhao, since the accident, I have quit smoking and drinking."

Zhao Yongsheng took a deep breath of cigarette and said, "What's going on as a candidate?" Zeng Xiangang said in a muffled voice: "After Yan Guoan made a suggestion, he asked who would be willing to sign. I sat with him. If I don't sign, I would be too sorry to Hou Weidong. I'm telling the truth."

Zhao Yongsheng cursed fiercely in his heart: "This Yan National Anthem is so fucking troublesome."

After talking with Zeng Xiangang, Zhao Yongsheng's uneasiness became stronger. He immediately convened a meeting of the 12 National People's Congress representatives from the agency, reiterated the organization's records again, requiring that the organization's intentions be realized and the three candidates appointed by the Organization Department should be selected.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the formal voting began.

Liu Kun is the assistant to the mayor and attended the town people's congress. At the venue, he kept scattering smoke to the NPC representatives he knew and did not know, and his face smiled like flowers. When Hou Weidong became a dark horse and came out, the flowers on his face were immediately frozen by the heavy snow.

When the number of votes was announced, the voting sound was a typical Qinglin accent, both earthy and sharp, but at this time it seemed particularly majestic. The voting sound made him raise his throat. When he recited Liu Kun's name, he seemed particularly friendly. When he recited Hou Weidong's name, his eyelids twitched.

The five candidates can only choose three deputy mayors, which means that two people will be eliminated. Li Hui's votes are significantly lower than the top four, and he will definitely be eliminated. The votes of Zhong Duanhua, Liu Kun, Tang Shugang and Hou Weidong are extremely tightly bitten, and the rankings are rising one after another.

When the votes were stopped, there were actually ninety-eight town people's congress representatives, the last one was Li Hui, he received 19 votes, the second to last one was Liu Kun, he received 48 votes, and the third to last one was Hou Weidong, and he received 57 votes.

Liu Kun's head roared, and it took him a long time to react: "I'm not selected." He opened his mouth slightly and looked for Zhao Yongsheng with his eyes.

Qin Dajiang looked calm in the audience. He lowered his head and flipped the work report of the people's congress in the town.

Zhao Yongsheng's face was extremely ugly, he stared at the election results, and then walked out of the venue with a calm face. Jiang Youcai and Xiao Tianguo also sneaked out of the venue. One was the leader in charge of the organization and the other was the vice chairman of the National People's Congress. Neither expected this situation to occur in this election.

The three of them came to the secretary's office. Zhao Yongsheng looked at Jiang Youcai with a blue face. Jiang Youcai had a soft personality. He was panicked at this time and stammered: "Secretary Zhao, there is no sign of this matter. It must have been caused by several village cadres in Shangqinglin."

Zhao Yongsheng interrupted: "What's the use of saying this now? Come and think of remedial measures. Lao Jiang, hurry up and take the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission and go to secretly check if there is any gambling election." He also said to Xiao Tianguo: "Lao Xiao, you have completely formed a written material for today's election situation, and then go to the National People's Congress to report on the election situation."

The two of them took the order and left. Zhao Yongsheng gritted his teeth and called Minister Liu of the Organization Department's office.

Minister Liu was angry. He had received a call. Bad news came from Yanghe Town in the south. A candidate appointed by the organization was selected. He heard Zhao Yongsheng's report and was furious and said, "Secretary Zhao, how did you organize this election? This kind of thing happens to indicate that your ability to control the overall situation is problematic. The combat effectiveness of the Qinglin Town Party Committee is problematic."

After scolding him, Minister Liu relaxed his tone and said, "Are there any representatives or the masses reporting abnormal situations? If so, measures should be taken immediately."

Zhao Yongsheng replied carefully: "I have set up an investigation team with Deputy Secretary Jiang Youcai as the team leader to conduct a thorough investigation of the problems that arise in the election."

Minister Liu said without any doubt: "This matter is fast, the investigation must be solid. If there are any problems, the materials must be solid, and you must be the team leader in person. I must listen to the results of the investigation at any time."

After putting down the phone, Zhao Yongsheng leaned on the back of the cavalier, thinking about the corresponding strategies. Judging from the results, there must be abnormalities in this election. If Hou Weidong did not do work and he would not believe it to kill him, but it would be difficult to grasp his tail. He walked to the door and saw Jiang Youcai's back, and said, "Old Jiang, please invite Yan Guoan to my office."

Yan Guoying arrived at Zhao Yongsheng's office. Zhao Yongsheng tried to smile, threw a cigarette, and said, "Lao Yan, now he enjoys his happiness and lives in his daughter's house in Shazhou." Yan Guoying smiled honestly and said, "My daughter is doing a wholesale business in Shazhou. No one takes care of the children, so I will help them take care of the children with the mother."

After chatting for a few words, Zhao Yongsheng suddenly said, "Who asked you to elect Hou Weidong?"

Yan Guoying said: "It's my daughter. Every time she went home, she would take a bus to Xiaqinglin first and then walk up the mountain. Now the bus can be taken to the door of her home. So she told me that a cadre like Hou Weidong who is dedicated to doing practical things for the people must be elected as a leader."

Yan Guoying was telling the truth. According to Qin Dajiang's plan, he arranged for a good friend of Wangri Village to propose. But when he was about to propose, Yan Guoying, the representative of the village, took the lead in making a proposal. Qin Dajiang, Zeng Xiangang and others immediately responded to his proposal, and Yan Guoying became the pioneer inadvertently.

Zhao Yongsheng asked several questions in a corner, and Yan Guoan answered them clearly and clearly at a glance.

When the Qinglin Town election was booming, Hou Weidong was drinking tea on Qinglin Mountain and watching the smelly and long TV series. He had two plans in his mind. If he didn't choose, he would go directly to Qin Feiyue and find a position in the development zone. If he was elected as deputy mayor, he would be considered as a leader, working for a while first and then seeking other ways out.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Feng called home and said, "Hou Weidong, no, it should be Mayor Hou. Congratulations to you, I will take care of me in the future." Yang Feng is an internal staff member of the Party and Government Office. She has a private phone book with a densely packed phone number. There were not many phone calls on Qinglin's program control, so she recorded them all. When she learned that Hou Weidong was elected as the deputy mayor, she saw that there was no one in the office, she called to congratulate her.

"Secretary Zhao was very angry about the election and probably would have to talk to you soon. You should be careful." Every time Hou Weidong went to the Qinglin Party and Government Office, he always had to buy her a bag of melon seeds or other snacks. The two had a good relationship. Hou Weidong did not speak, so she notified Hou Weidong of the situation at the foot of the mountain.

The investigation team's action was very fast. As soon as the town people's congress ended, Ning Yong, deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, took three people to go straight to Qinglin. They started from Dushi Village, started from the Women's Director, the Militia Company Commander and the presidents of various associations, and found one by one to talk, looking for clues about Hou Weidong's manipulation of the election.

Jiang Youcai led another group to talk to the village party secretaries and village directors of Qinglin villages one by one.

Zhao Yongsheng informed the town, Yang Xinchun and Tian Xiuying to the town and talked alone.

The next day, an investigation team composed of the county organization department, a relevant comrade of the People's Congress and the Civil Affairs Bureau also came to Qinglin Town. They notified Hou Weidong to the town and had a separate conversation with him.

After receiving the notice, Hou Weidong felt a little upset. In this election, he secretly gave Qin Dajiang and Zeng Xiangang a chance, which led to the current situation. In this sense, he had secretly manipulated the election.

However, he just gave the opportunity in person. He never came forward directly, nor did he pay for a bet. What's more beneficial is that Yan's national anthem suddenly jumped out and accidentally covered up all traces. Therefore, no matter how the investigation is investigated, there will be no result. From this perspective, he doesn't have to worry at all.

After entering the town’s discipline inspection office, five serious people stared at him. In order to ease the atmosphere, Jiang Youcai smiled and said to Hou Weidong: "I invite you to the town today, mainly to understand some situations. You must report to the organization in a realistic manner what you know."

After saying that, he introduced the identities of the people present to Hou Weidong one by one.

Li Dechao, deputy secretary of the county discipline inspection commission, is the head of the investigation team. He first greeted Hou Weidong, asked questions such as where to graduate and how many years he worked in Qinglin Town. Then he changed the subject and said, "Next, I will have a conversation with you on behalf of the organization. The conversation should be recorded. You are a member of the * and you must be loyal to the organization. I hope you will answer the questions honestly."

"I am loyal to the party, and every word is the truth."

"This election. What do you think before the election?"

Hou Weidong smiled and said, "This is the business of the organization department. What ideas can I have to obey the organization's decisions."

"Have you ever talked to Yan Guoan about the election?"

"No, I only met him once, when I was building the road last year, and I never met again."

"Have you talked to other people about the election?"

"No."

"Are you sure you never talked about elections?"

"No."

After asking more than a dozen questions, Hou Weidong answered them simply and never dragged them down. Li Dechao knew that there would be no result if he asked this. However, he still asked all the possibilities according to the traditional method, and then wrote down all the questions and answers. Finally, Hou Weidong signed and approved the conversation record and stamped it with a red handprint.

After completing all the procedures, Li Dechao smiled and said, "This is a routine inquiry, I hope you can understand."

The investigation lasted for three days and found nothing.

The Yiyang County Party Committee attached great importance to the problems that arise in the election of Qinglin Town. On the fourth day, Zhao Yongsheng came to the county party committee and reported the matter to Secretary Zhao, who was in charge of the organization.

Secretary Zhao listened to the report, was silent for a while, and said, "So, this election did not realize the organizational intentions of this election, it was purely caused by accident."

Zhao Yongsheng was full of ghost fire on Hou Weidong, but now he can only report objectively: "Hou Weidong was one of the ten cadres recruited by the Yiyang County Party Committee and County Government in 1993. After he arrived at the Qinglin Town Government, he served as the deputy head of the Qinglin Government's working group in Shangqinglin. Later, he served as the director of the office of the Shangqinglin Highway Construction Leading Group. He made contributions to the construction of Shangqinglin Highway, so he was very prestigious in Shangqinglin."

Secretary Zhao had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly remembered the young man he met in the Office of the Personnel Bureau in 1993, and asked: "Is Hou Weidong about 1.75 meters tall and very strong?"

"Yes, he is from Shazhou College and majored in law."

Secretary Zhao reviewed the investigation conclusions of the Discipline Inspection Commission and said: "Since the election is in line with the procedures and there is no human manipulation, it is legal. We must admit this result. In future work, you must properly arrange Hou Weidong's work."

He paused, his voice was very soft, and his semantic meaning was very heavy: "There are two problems in the election of the new term. One is that he did not do a good job of investigation and had no foresight. This situation has occurred, which shows that the Qinglin Party Committee's ability to control needs to be improved. Secretary Zhao, you are also an old leader. It is really not necessary to happen. Second, since Hou Weidong enjoys prestige among the masses and is a real college student, why is this talent not recommended to the organization department? There is a problem of unknown recognition here."

Zhao Yongsheng was blushed when he was said, and he admitted his mistake: "This is a profound lesson. I want to conduct an inspection with the county party committee. Comrade Liu Kun was sent by the organization. Now he has lost the election. What should be arranged next?"

"How is Liu Kun performing in Qinglin Town?"

"Although Comrade Liu Kun was young, he worked hard after he arrived in Qinglin Town and gradually became a role. He was an excellent young cadre. However, he had not been to Qinglin Town for a long time, and the comrades in the village were not familiar with him, so he was defeated."

Secretary Zhao said: "I also want to report to Secretary Zhu when Comrade Liu Kun's resettlement problem. After you go back, learn from your lessons and work with Comrade Su Ming to catch the work of the whole town. In 1995, Qinglin Town's fiscal revenue has increased significantly, and the growth rate is the first in the county. The results are obvious to all. Go back and work hard, don't bear the burden of your thoughts, and strive to reach a new level this year."

After Zhao Yongsheng left, Secretary Zhao called again, "Feiyue, how is the development zone working?" Qin Feiyue had a good relationship with Secretary Zhao. He smiled and said, "It's going well. When will Secretary Zhao come to inspect the development zone?"

Secretary Zhao talked about the development zone with Qin Feiyue a few words, and he asked: "You have worked in Qinglin Town for a while. What do you think of Comrade Hou Weidong?"

"Hou Weidong has a high education and a down-to-earth work. He presided over the construction of Shangqinglin Highway. This is the wish of several members of the Shangqinglin Township Government and the common wish of the seven thousand ordinary people. Hou Weidong was born with a calf and was not afraid of tigers. He turned the matter away and actually got things done. The development zone is now short of such cadres who do practical things, so I plan to transfer him to be a helper."

Secretary Zhao was very keen and said, "Since Hou Weidong is a talent, why didn't he use it before? He was not even a second-level team."

"This sentence is a long story. I wanted to use Hou Weidong several times, but the town party committee did not agree."

Secretary Zhao knew that Zhao Yongsheng and Qin Feiyue had conflicts, so he did not ask in depth. Through conversations with the former top party and government leaders of Qinglin Town, his impression of Hou Weidong deepened. On that day, the county party committee standing committee specially raised the election issues of two towns. Another town found out the issues of gambling and manipulating elections, while Qinglin Town was an accident.

Secretary Zhao put forward his own opinion at the meeting: "This election in Qinglin Town has not achieved its organizational intentions, and the town party committee must bear the corresponding responsibilities. Zhao Yongsheng has achieved great achievements in the past two years of work. Qinglin Town ranked first in the county in the fiscal revenue growth last year, and township enterprises have also entered the fast lane. I suggest that Zhao Yongsheng continue to serve as the Party Secretary of Qinglin Town, Deputy Secretary Jiang Youcai has average work ability, and no achievements in party building work are achieved. It is recommended to transfer from Qinglin Town to Lishan Town as the vice chairman of the People's Congress, and Comrade Liu Kun takes over as the position of deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Qinglin Town."
