In July, the youth cadre class of the Provincial Party School opened in advance. This youth cadre class was to train county and department-level cadres. There were few places in various places, and the age, position and other conditions were very strict. Shazhou only received six places. The study class started in July, first went to the coastal areas for two months, and then started in September. It ended in July 1998. It was calculated for twelve months, which was almost the same as the local department-level reserve class where Zhu Yan was.

The candidate for Yiyang County is Liu Kun, director of the county government office. He meets the requirements from age to qualifications.

At the beginning of the year, Zhu Yan mentioned that Hou Weidong would participate in the Youth Cadre Class. Therefore, after hearing the news that Liu Kun participated in the Youth Cadre Class, Hou Weidong was a little disappointed and sent an email to Zhu Yan and talked about the matter.

It has become Hou Weidong's habit to regularly report Yi Yang's affairs to Zhu Yan by email.

The next day when Zhu Yan opened the email and called Hou Weidong directly. "I originally arranged for you to go, what do you think about this?"

Hou Weidong said: "I am very conflicted. It is a good thing to be able to study in the provincial party school, but the matter of the new management committee is too complicated. I really can't rest assured to put this matter down."

"Ji Haiyang has already told me about this. I agree with his point of view. It is better for you to stay in the New Management Committee. You must treat this matter correctly. As long as you do the New Management Committee's affairs well, there will be more opportunities in the future."

Hou Weidong said intimately: "It turns out that Secretary Zhu has known about this for a long time."

Zhu Yan advised: "There are only eight members of the Standing Committee of the Yiyang County Party Committee, and it makes sense for County Mayor Ma to value Liu Kun. You should carefully understand the mystery and think from the other party's perspective so that you can make a correct judgment."

A word awakened the dreamer. Hou Weidong had a strong comprehension ability and immediately understood the mystery: "Yang Senlin presided over the work of the county party committee as the deputy secretary of the county party committee, but he had no foundation among the county party committee standing committee members. Deputy secretary Ji Haiyang was Zhu Yan's iron-kick, and other standing committee members such as Qian Zhiguo were both ends. County Mayor Ma Youcai valued Liu Kun and could get the support of at least two standing committee members. Yi Yang also had more say, which is a typical Chinese politics."

After understanding this, Hou Weidong became calm.

However, Yi Yang has more officials who cannot be calm and composed. Yang Dajin, the county party committee office, is one of them. He has been a middle-level cadre for many years. He has always been working on the front line of the economy and has always been very important. As he grows older, he is still moving around in the second-level team and has not been promoted.

Yi Yang has a routine that the director of the county party committee office usually has to join the Standing Committee. Moreover, the Yi Yang County Party Committee now has eight Standing Committee members, and it is obvious that one is missing. After Yang Dajin became the chairman of the county party committee office, he became more interested in joining the Standing Committee. After adjusting cadres in June, he knew in his heart that even if Yang Senlin agreed to help him, if Zhu Yan nodded, he would not join the Standing Committee.

"Director Hou, I am Yang Dajin. What are you busy with? In the Finance Bureau, are there any arrangements at noon today? Secretary Ji published an article in Lingxi Daily. The two of us invited Secretary Ji to have a drink in Huaiji. Congratulations."

"Zhangjia Reservoir, we set out at eleven o'clock."

"Don't take the driver today. My brothers and I drink and fish, and I'll have fun for a long time."

After receiving a call from Yang Dajin, Hou Weidong began to think in his heart: "If I were Yang Dajin, what was the thing I longed for most now?" After changing the angle, things suddenly became particularly clear and simple. Hou Weidong immediately grasped the core of the problem: "Yiyang County Party Committee is still missing a member of the Standing Committee. If I were in Yang Dajin's position, I would definitely want to be a member of the Standing Committee. To be a member of the Standing Committee, Secretary Zhu must pass this level. This is why he suddenly called for dinner at noon."

Hou Weidong's thinking continues to deepen, "Secretary Ji's article has been published for several days. As the office director, Yang Dajin has free time to spend lunch with Secretary Ji today, Yang Senlin should not be in the county."

Ji Haiyang is a very skilled leader. Out of respect for Ji Haiyang, Hou Weidong drove his blue bird from the Shazhou College family building and headed straight to the Zhangjia Reservoir. When he arrived at the reservoir, he specifically told the reservoir owner: "Life at noon is recorded in the new management account, and no money can be collected from others."

He asked the reservoir owner to prepare four or five fishing poles and soak the eagle tea from the farmer. As soon as the preparations were finished, Ji Haiyang and Yang Dajin arrived.

Ji Haiyang became the deputy secretary and originally didn't want to change the car, but after Yang Senlin arrived at Yiyang, he quickly bought a new car. If Ji Haiyang insisted on not changing the car, it would seem alternative, which made Yang Senlin in embarrassment. So Ji Haiyang's car was given to Yang Dajin and changed it to a new Toyota by himself.

But today neither of them took the car issued by the county committee. Yang Dajin borrowed a crown car and acted as the driver himself.

When he arrived at the reservoir, Yang Dajin called the boss over and learned that Hou Weidong had already made arrangements. He shouted: "Brother Hou, I have agreed today that my brother will arrange it. Boss, you can't collect his money."

Ji Haiyang stood by the reservoir, and was excitedly choosing the fishing rod. Hearing this, "Dajin, don't be polite to Hou Weidong. The new management committee is now prosperous and prosperous. It's a slight idea to let him bleed some blood."

All three of them laughed.

In the small July reservoir, the sun shines on the water, shining brightly. Ji Haiyang stood under the willow tree with a broken straw hat, and soon caught four crucian carp.

The meal was all over, and Yang Dajin picked up the wine glass and said, "Today, three directors of the Yiyang County Party Committee Office gathered. First, I would like to congratulate Secretary Ji on his article published in Lingxi Daily, and second, I would like to learn some office work experience from the two seniors."

Hou Weidong hurriedly said, "Director Yang, when you were the director of the Planning Commission, I just graduated from college. I called Senior Senior to kill me. Moreover, Director Yang is the former director of the New Management Committee, so I should really call Director Yang Senior Senior Yang."

Ji Haiyang smiled and said, "Don't be like this, Lao Yang, everyone is busy. Today I have been idle for half a day of leisure, drinking, chatting, and fishing, and it is completely relaxing." He said seriously, "If you don't bring the driver, just drink beer, each person has a maximum of two bottles."

The fish in Zhangjia Reservoir is very distinctive, and the main feature is that it is simple. Spread the fish with salt, add some lard, and add some old ginger. Boil it with well water. When you take the pot, put some green onions and Houttuynia cordata growing everywhere on the edge of the reservoir. It makes a pot of deliciousness, which is very different from the dishes in the city that are half fish and half seasoning.

"I really envy Director Hou's age. I'm not over thirty yet. I'm a 50-year-old person." Yang Dajin sighed.

Yang Dajin is 43 years old this year. When he reaches this age, if he cannot get closer to the county-level leaders as soon as possible, after he reaches 45, it is generally difficult to take another step. Therefore, there is a saying in the officialdom that "a diploma is indispensable, and age is a treasure."

Ji Haiyang understood Yang Dajin's situation very well and said, "Director Yang is still a little early to go to 5th. I remember eating your forty wine just two years ago."

"It's not the last two years ago, the end of 1994, and it's about to be forty-three in a flash." Yang Dajin said a few sadly, and said again: "Secretary Ji is the secretary in charge of the organization, and Director Hou is also the director of the committee office who has presided over the work. He is not an outsider. I will take this opportunity to report my thoughts today."

Ji Haiyang said: "Only our brothers, Director Yang should not be too polite."

Hou Weidong said intimately: "This is the theme."

Sure enough, Yang Dajin expressed today's theme: "Yi Yang has been the director of the county party committee office for many years and has been one member of the Standing Committee. Now I have been the director of the committee office for half a year. Can the organization consider letting me become the Standing Committee member?"

"In terms of qualifications, I have been the mayor of Chengguan Town, director of the Planning Commission, director of the new management committee, and director of the commission office for ten years. They are still the top leaders of important departments. This shows that the county party committee and government still recognize my achievements. In terms of age, I will be 44 this year. If I don't upgrade to one level, I will have no chance."

Since it is a small area, Yang Dajin is still very sincere and tells the truth.

This coincided with Hou Weidong's prediction, and he couldn't help but feel proud.

Ji Haiyang had long thought about this for Yang Dajin, but Yi Yang's pattern was a bit special. He thought for a while and said, "I went to the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee a few days ago and reported it to the department. There will be a result soon. Don't worry, the organization will consider your actual situation." When the matter was not decided, Ji Haiyang was very vague.

Yang Dajin quickly raised his wine glass and toasted: "Thank you Secretary Ji for your concern."

After drinking a few more glasses of wine and talking some gossip, Ji Haiyang seemed to say carelessly: "I went to the provincial party school a few days ago. The party school facilities are aging and the air conditioner is not cool. You are the director of the county party committee office. You must pay more attention to Secretary Zhu and take things into consideration."

Yang Dajin is the office director chosen by Yang Senlin. After becoming the director of the committee office, he followed Yang Senlin around every day. So far, he has only followed Yang Senlin to the provincial party school once. When the personnel adjustment in June was over, he had realized his big mistake. He invited Ji Haiyang and Hou Weidong to dinner to make up for the previous mistake.

Hearing Ji Haiyang's words, he still felt a chill on his back and thought to himself in annoyance: "Why am I so stupid some time ago? I'm just following Yang Senlin and didn't go to the provincial party school to visit Zhu Yan alone. This is the biggest mistake." He said: "Secretary Ji, you are right in criticism, I'll do it right now."

Ji Haiyang emphasized and said, "You will do this tomorrow, you can't delay it for a long time."

While Ji Haiyang was using the toilet, Yang Dajin whispered to Hou Weidong: "Brother Hou, Secretary Zhu, you must find a few good words for me."

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Hou Weidong said with sincerity: "You are the director of the committee office of Secretary Zhu. You must keep it in mind and go tomorrow."

Yang Dajin shook hands with Hou Weidong vigorously, looking very grateful.
Chapter completed!
