Besides, Huang Rasheng and the others felt something was wrong after they left the county party committee compound, so they walked back with their heads sullen. Passing by Chengguan Town, Qian Wenzhong suggested that he go and sit at his house. Several people were depressed, so they followed Qian Wenzhong to his house. Qian Wenzhong¡¯s home has changed from its dilapidated appearance to a new one. The son and daughter-in-law who worked at a construction site in the provincial capital came back a long time ago. Through land transfer, they cooperated with others to set up a farm, growing rice, vegetables and fruits, and achieved a bumper harvest. Their annual income was more than double that of working outside. The little grandson was just over half a year old. When he saw a large number of people coming, he screamed and jumped straight into Qian Wenzhong's arms. Qian Wenzhong and his wife were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. Ernizi, who was studying at Qingyuan Normal College, is also back. She is now an intern at Chengguan Town Central Primary School and is responsible for arranging a program to participate in the county's New Year's Eve performance. She has just come back now and is busy serving tea to her uncles and uncles. . The daughter-in-law handed the child to Qian Wenzhong¡¯s wife, rolled up her sleeves, and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch for everyone. Qian Wenzhong took everyone to sit down in the yard and talked about the meeting just now. They were all filled with emotion and blamed themselves for causing trouble to Secretary Chu and the county. Yes, previous county party secretaries have disappointed them. ¡°If nothing else, the Fu Damu brothers were tyrannical, corrupt and bending the law in Nanling County. The previous secretaries were not unaware of it, but they either turned a blind eye or were complicit, resulting in Nanling County being impoverished and backward for a long time. When Chu Tianshu arrived, they, like nearly a million people in Nanling County, naturally thought that it was still a change of soup without changing the medicine. They even felt that one crab was worse than the other, because in their eyes, Chu Tianshu was just a person. "baby". However, it was this "baby secretary" who completely changed the face of Nanling and re-established a good image of the county party secretary in people's minds. The people of Nanling have never labeled Chu Tianshu a "cruel official". In their hearts, this "baby secretary" is courageous, wise, and capable. He is their benefactor and the "Master Qingtian" in their hearts. ". However, after the "Ten Thousand People Petition", their Secretary Chu was bombarded by a group of scholars and officials, and it would also affect his progress. They were not convinced, but it was useless to be anxious, and they did not dare to continue "Gathering people together to make trouble", I had so many words in my heart that I had nowhere to say, and I felt particularly uncomfortable. what to do. When Ernizi was serving tea and water to everyone, she heard her grandfather Xue Zhanshan and the others talking about Secretary Chu and sighing from time to time, so she asked about the whole story. When she heard about what happened, she suddenly had an idea. She suggested that Secretary Chu's deeds should be compiled into a tea-picking tune and widely sung in various towns and villages. This was not "gathering people to make trouble" or "running for an official position" in disguise. "Bar. Er Nizi expressed her idea and everyone clapped their hands in agreement. The tea-picking tune was originally a tune hummed by tea-picking girls while picking tea. Later, it was collected and compiled by folk artists and used to entertain villagers during weddings and weddings or during slack farming seasons. It then became a local opera and became widely popular in the province. . Several people sat together and talked about what Chu Tianshu had done after arriving at Nanling. Ernizi was responsible for recording it, and then read it to everyone, selecting the more important parts. , asked Ernizi to compose a verse, using the tea-picking tune, and first sung it on the loudspeaker in the village, and then spread it in various towns and villages. Within a few days, it spread to Nanling County and Qing Dynasty. The original city spread to most villages in the southeastern province. ¡ New Year¡¯s Day has passed in a blink of an eye. The "two sessions" of provinces, cities and counties have always ended before the Spring Festival. As January enters, the two sessions of Nanling County are held. Geng Zhongtian was officially elected as the county magistrate of Nanling County, Liu Qingyan, Xue Zhanshan and Zuo Tiannian were elected as deputy county magistrates, and Du Yufei was elected as the director of the Public Security Bureau. ?? Not long after the "Two Sessions" in various districts and counties ended, the news of the "Two Sessions" in Qingyuan City has been overwhelming, but Chu Tianshu's career prospects are still like flowers in the mist. On January 17, we reported to the Municipal People¡¯s Congress. According to the unspoken rules of official circles, if there is no news from you by the time of the meeting, then there is really no hope at all. On January 15, Chu Tianshu received a call from Chang Shengli, director of the Municipal Party Committee¡¯s Organization Department, asking him to come to the office of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yi Haitao at 10 o¡¯clock tomorrow morning. Chu Tianshu, who has been walking in the officialdom for these years, seemed to feel something. Of course, before the two sessions, how can the main leaders of the municipal party committee not explain the organizational discipline to ensure the success of the election? In a country where democracy is not yet perfect, the leaders must ensure that the general election is passed unanimously, at least by a high vote, and all aspects are considered. Everyone is happy. If there are only a few negative votes, not only will the elected lose face, but the main leaders of the delegation who voted against or abstained will also be criticized. In fact, if Secretary Yi specifically asked him to report half a day in advance for this matter and go to the office to explain it face to face, in Chu Tianshu's opinion, it would be unnecessary and the Nanling County delegation could not get out of control. However, that night, Chu Tianshu did not sleep well at all. He had breakfast early and called the county magistrate Geng Zhongtian, repeatedly emphasizing that the deputies should pay attention to the image of Nanling when reporting for duty. It was nine-fifty when Chu Tianshu arrived at Secretary Yi¡¯s office. The door of Secretary Yi's office was open, and secretary Fan Yibing was on the phone. Seeing Chu Tianshu standing at the door, he hurriedly put down the phone and said, "Secretary Chu, please sit down. Secretary Yi will be here soon." As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Haitao was already there. Appeared at the door, when Chu Tianshu stepped forward to shake hands, he found Chang Shengli, the head of the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department, smiling and extending his hand to him. After everyone sat down, Yi Haitao said a few polite words, and Fan Yibing immediately withdrew. Yi Haitao looked at Chang Shengli, the head of the organization, and said, "Old Chang, let me talk about the situation first." "Comrade Tianshu, the Municipal People's Congress reported today that this conference is not a term change, but a mid-term meeting of the National People's Congress. "Four meetings." Yi Haitao said: "The situation in Qingyuan City is quite special, so in addition to the regular work report, this meeting also has election tasks." At this point, Yi Haitao stopped and did not continue. After going down, Chu Tianshu's heart suddenly became quiet. He knew that in a department-level city, it was not easy to reach the county level. Among the county-level leading cadres, there were only a dozen or so people who could stand out and reach the deputy department or city level. It is not easy for a cadre to cross the threshold of the department or city level. He was born in an out-and-out ordinary family with no previous background. He was able to take a leadership position at the county level so quickly. This was mainly because he met good leaders, from Yi Haitao and Lin Guodong to the current governor Qiao. Mingsong and Nan Yanping, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, all have a keen eye. "Secretary Yi, Minister Chang, don't worry, I will definitely follow the municipal party committee's intention to ensure that the Nanling County delegation successfully completes the election task." After Chu Tianshu finished speaking, he added: "The Nanling delegation will not go out Any questions." "Comrade Tianshu," Yi Haitao said, "The Provincial Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee have decided to arrange for you to be submitted to the general meeting for election." Chu Tianshu never expected it, and he even couldn't believe it. Yi Haitao was silent for a while and easily explained such an important decision. "But, Xiao Chu." Yi Haitao's expression suddenly became serious: "You are a very controversial figure. Despite this, the Provincial Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee believe that you have done a lot of work in Nanling in recent years, especially The reform has achieved remarkable results, and I hope you will continue to exert the spirit of reform, so I decided to put you on the National People's Congress for the representatives to elect you." Chu Tianshu breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he had a lot to say, but he knew. The leader has not yet allowed me to express my position. Even if I am excited, I cannot express it in a hurry. "Since it is an election, there are two possibilities of being elected or not." Yi Haitao said: "Of course we have repeatedly emphasized that each delegation must ensure that it is consistent with its superiors and must take the overall situation into consideration, but" Yi Haitao Haitao paused, looked at Chu Tianshu, and said: "As a city-level People's Congress, it is not a township People's Congress after all. The election must be successful, which often depends on specific people, but we must be prepared for both. There were a lot of negative comments about you last year. Although many people complained for you, it shows that there is still controversy over your use. If you are selected, it is the trust and support of the representatives for you. If you are not selected, it means that everyone There is still a gap between you and other candidates. I personally and organizationally believe that you can handle it correctly. " "Xiao Chu, in addition to you, there are two additional deputy mayors running. " Chang Shengli interrupted and said: "The Municipal People's Congress will be held soon, and such a meeting is mainly about procedures. Therefore, you must temporarily put away your usual reform ideas. I don't need to say more about some things. , you know what to do." After Yi Haitao and Chang Shengli finished talking, it was Chu Tianshu's turn to express his position. Of course, Chu Tianshu could hear the implicit meaning in the words of the two leaders. He was a "bad match" secretly designated by the organization, and he had to be mentally prepared for not being selected. Therefore, in addition to saying something like thanking the organization for its concern, he There are only two preparations for expressing a red heart, and resolutely implement??The municipal party committee¡¯s electoral intentions. Back at the delegation¡¯s location, Chu Tianshu looked at the representatives from Nanling who came to attend the meeting, and then he was busy attending the preparatory meeting. At this time, the most popular news among the representatives was the selection of the deputy mayor. After dinner, as soon as Chu Tianshu entered the room door, Geng Zhongtian came in. In the county, many important matters are communicated in advance between the county magistrate and the county party committee secretary. As soon as he entered the door, Geng Zhongtian suddenly closed the door mysteriously and said in a low voice: "Secretary, don't do anything tonight. Go to the delegations and take a look." Chu Tianshu was stunned. .
