Chapter 728: Another Choice (Part 1)
After staying in the hut belonging to Guo Lan for a few hours, Hou Weidong returned to the Party School and temporarily buried Guo Lan in his heart. Drinking and getting drunk for love is a bad trick of Hong Kong and Taiwan TV series. The true deep feelings are often buried deep in the heart.
After two days at the Party School, he began to return to his normal life. Early in the morning, he took the Zhushui River flat fish brought by Yan Chunping and went to wish the old man a breakfast at home.
Before becoming a member of the Standing Committee of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee, Hou Weidong had already left his mind.
In the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee, there are old-age members such as Hong Ang and Yang Senlin. As a deputy mayor, they have no special political achievements or special background. It is indeed extremely difficult to take the position of top leaders. How to break through the siege has become the most important issue facing Hou Weidong.
There are three choices: First, we will proceed in Shazhou in sequence and exchange time for official positions. This is an unexpected process; second, we will be transferred to important provincial departments at the same level to serve positions and then delegated. This is a curved rescue of the country. In the past few times, we were transferred by senior officials to department leaders, and we were more or less forced. This time he had the intention of taking the initiative to fight for it. Third, we will go directly to remote cities to serve as the top leader. Shazhou is the third largest city. As the deputy mayor, there is a possibility of becoming the top leader directly in remote cities. As long as we achieve political achievements, we still have the opportunity to continue to develop upward.
At present, Zhou Changquan is still the one who can rely on in the province, but the political future of this backer has basically reached its peak and has begun to decline, and its support for himself will also be weakened. Deputy Director Wu Ying was originally an excellent booster, but after Meng Haofang was transferred to the central government, the situation changed. The Transportation Director Chen Shuguang has been active and he has the intention to leave Lingxi. This shows some problems.
As for the current provincial party secretary Qian Guoliang, Hou Weidong contacted him indirectly through Zhao Dong. This line is just a hidden line and cannot be used for the time being. The current governor Zhu Jianguo is Meng Houshi's friend, while Meng Houshi's niece Jiang Xiao is the eldest sister-in-law. This one can be used, but Yang Senlin's relationship is closer. Before Yang Senlin took office, he had no chance.
Walking under the scenery of the fields, Hou Weidong enjoyed the gentle wind in the morning and looked at the green all over the ground. His mind seemed to be a little wider, and he temporarily put the complex interpersonal relationship aside.
When I arrived at Mr. Zhu's yard, two yellow dogs were the first to come out. The yellow dog had a good memory. He actually knew that the person in front of me had entered the house many times. He jumped around and welcomed Hou Weidong into the yard.
Zhu Mei was about to go out with the painting board on her back when she saw Hou Weidong entering the door, and she was surprised and said, "Are you scared this time? I sent you a few emails, did you receive them?"
Hou Weidong went to the office in the morning for a few days in quarantine. In the afternoon, he was usually with Guo Lan. After coming out, there were a lot of things. He basically didn't open the email. At this time, Zhu Mei asked, "I was so busy that I was so busy that I didn't have time to check the computer, so I'll read it when I go back."
Zhu Mei was a little disappointed. At this time, she regained her hearing, and the new world opened the door to her. There were too many wonderful lives waiting for him. For Hou Weidong, the hazy girlish feelings have become a memory, but she was worried about Sister Li Jing in her heart.
Zhu Mei couldn't help but feel sorry for Sister Li Jing and said deliberately: "Sister Li has arrived in the United States again, and her two little brothers are getting more and more cute."
"It's very cute." Hou Weidong did not express his emotional fluctuations in front of Zhu Mei, and said briefly.
Zhu Mei said again: "I received their photos and a few sketches, do you read them?"
After these words, Hou Weidong immediately realized what Zhu Mei should know. He tried his best to say: "Then I'll go and take a look."
At this time, Zhu Yan also walked out, met Hou Weidong, and said, "I just heard your voice and thought there was an hallucination. It was really you, so early."
Hou Weidong didn't expect to meet Zhu Yan, so he raised the flat fish in his hand and said, "The Party School has started. I brought a few flat fish to Mr. Zhu before I sent it from Chengjin." He was very familiar with the situation of the Zhu family. While speaking, he poured the flat fish into the cement pond in the corner of the yard. This was a small pond that Mr. Zhu had specially dug to store fish.
Zhu Yan got up and said to Hou Weidong: "I'll go to the bathroom, you can sit for a while."
Hou Weidong followed Zhu Mei into the side room on the ground floor, which had been transformed into her studio. Zhu Mei found a few pieces of paper in the messy studio, and used simple brushes to outline the image of a lively boy, which was even more vivid than those photos.
Looking at the sketch, Hou Weidong sighed in his heart and said to Zhu Mei: "The painting is really good."
After leaving the studio, he didn't say much, sat on the eaves and smoked, looking at the green fields outside the yard.
Zhu Mei has experienced a silent life for more than ten years and is particularly sensitive to human expressions. When she saw Hou Weidong's appearance, she suddenly felt a little regretful. She went into the house to make a cup of tea, put it next to Hou Weidong, and whispered: "I'm going out to sketch, you drink tea."
Drinking tea, watching Guo Lan walk out of the yard with a painting board on her back, the young girl walking in the vibrant field. At this moment, Hou Weidong suddenly felt that he was old, and in a blink of an eye, he was thirty-four years old. Youth slipped away quietly in a series of big and small things, little things and trivial things. Moreover, the passage of youth is an irreversible process. Only when youth passes and suddenly looks back, can you realize the preciousness and helplessness of time.
While Zhu Yan was washing up, Jiang Yuxin also went downstairs, met Hou Weidong, and said, "Come here today."
Hou Weidong said, "I have returned to the Party School, which is quite close to here. Come over to drink the old man's porridge." He said, "Jiang Yuanzi, I have something to do to ask you for help."
There were seven or eight secretary who followed Zhu Yan. Jiang Yuxin’s favorite was Hou Weidong, and said, “You are so kind, just say something if you have something to do.”
"When I was working in Qinglin Town, there was a fellow villager who took good care of me. His niece gave birth to twins. He was scared during the * period and did not go on duty. I signed and handed over her to fire. It was a special period that I had to use thunderbolt methods. Now it is understandable to think about it."
Jiang Yuxin smiled and said, "Wei Dong, don't talk too much. What are the requirements?"
"I want her niece to go to college and then be assigned to a hospital in Shazhou. The fellow villager treated me really well that year, and I have to be wrong."
After hearing what Hou Weidong said so realistically, Jiang Yuxin said: "I thought it was a big deal. It was easy to deal with. When school starts in September, you can call me again and ask her to come to me."
Zhu Yan finished washing up and came downstairs and said, "What are your plans after graduating from the Party School?"
Both of them are in the officialdom, and the topics of the officialdom are naturally inseparable from the officialdom. Hou Weidong handed Zhu Yan cigarettes, Zhu Yan waved his hand and said, "I won't smoke anymore, I've quit a few times, this time I've really made up my mind."
Hou Weidong lit the cigarette and said, "Mayor Ma has become a member of the Standing Committee, and it is a bit difficult for me to deal with it. This government is over thirty years old."
Zhu Yan smiled and said, "I am still a young man in my thirties. I am also thirty-seven or eight years old and I have only entered a county-level position, which is far worse than you."
After chatting for a few words, he suggested: "I heard that the Tiezhou team has some adjustments. Jiang Yulou will soon become the secretary of the municipal party committee. Can you find a way to transfer to Tiezhou? The industry there is stronger than Shazhou and has always been a place for cadres. If you want, I can tell Yulou, and he still appreciates you very much."
Hou Weidong said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Secretary Zhu, I might as well go to Maoyun and join the Standing Committee Member and be the Secretary-General for you."
Zhu Yan was in the upward space at this time and said, "If you want to come to Maoyun, you will not be the secretary-general. Be the director of the organization and help me keep the cadre checkpoint."
At this time, Mr. Zhu came back from outside, and Zhu Yan added another sentence, saying, "If Wei Dong really wants to move, I will invite Minister Yiyun to dinner. You can report your thoughts directly to Minister Yiyun."
I visited Mr. Zhu’s house and gained a lot. When I returned to the Party School, I thought of Zhu Yan’s suggestions in my heart.
After class in the morning, Hou Weidong received a call from Chu Xiuhong, "Mayor Hou, do you have time at noon? If you have time, have lunch together."
After receiving Zhou Changquan's instructions, Hou Weidong drove straight to Shazhou Impression and asked for the largest private room. When he arrived at Shazhou Impression, he realized that Lao Xing had traveled to Europe.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Changquan and Chu Xiuhong came to Shazhou Impression.
After sitting down, Zhou Changquan said, "I have been working in Shazhou for ten years and my appetite has adapted to the style of Shazhou cuisine, but without Shazhou people accompanying me, the taste of Shazhou cuisine is not enough."
Hou Weidong said: "The accent of the countryside, the countryside, the people of the countryside, this is a systematic project. No matter what you leave, it will not be pure." He knew that Zhou Changquan asked him to have dinner, of course he would not just listen to the accent of the countryside. He still adhered to the old habit before Zhou Changquan. If Zhou Changquan didn't say it, he wouldn't ask.
After eating dried pheasants and tasting authentic flat fish from Zhushuihe, Zhou Changquan then expressed the true meaning of this trip and said: "At present, several deputy secretary-generals of the provincial government have made some adjustments. Do you have the intention to be the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government to assist me in the management of planning, finance and taxation, physical reform, labor and social security, personnel, preparation, statistics, and petition work. If you have this idea, I will tell Governor Zhu about this."
In Shazhou, Zhu Minsheng never regarded Hou Weidong as his direct line. In addition, Ning Yue is a strong woman. Hou Weidong had already decided to leave before he entered the Standing Committee of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee. At this time, Zhou Changquan gave him a chance, and he immediately expressed his opinion, "Old leader, I will obey your call at any time."
