Volume VIII Chalu-Nishikawa

Chapter I

Mianzhou City, Xichuan Province.

Twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Today is a big day for the public officials of Mianzhou City -- Comrade Li Yi, the new mayor, takes office today!

Li Yi did not lose his trust, and called Comrade Zou Zhijun, director of the Mianzhou Municipal Government Office, in advance.

Zou Zhijun informed Comrade Shao Yixian of the municipal party committee and several vice mayors.

Shao Yixian responded lightly: "Got it." ”

Zou Zhijun asked: "Secretary Shao, we are going to formulate the welcome rules now, I don't know if you will go?" ”

Shao Yi pondered for a while, did not answer, and hung up the phone directly.

Zou Zhijun was shocked by the sound on the other end of the phone, so his eardrum was numb, he removed the microphone, stretched out his index finger and poked the ear hole. frowned, thinking to himself what this Shao Yixian meant? Does he go or not?

It stands to reason that Li Yi is only a mayor, although he is at the same level as Shao Yixian, but the government is under the leadership of the party committee, so the party secretary is slightly higher than the mayor. Therefore, Shao Yi can pick up Li Yi first, or he may not pick up Li Yi. It all depends on Shao Yixian's mind and bearing, as well as his attitude towards Li Yi.

Leaders never directly explain things, and many times, they are just an action or a look, and it is up to their subordinates to guess.

Shao Yi hung up the phone first and did not reply directly, the meaning of this is actually very clear.

Zou Zhijun shook his head slightly, thinking that Secretary Shao didn't want to pick up Li Yili! I shouldn't even be asking! Because as soon as this sentence came out, it offended Shao Yixian!

Shao Yixian felt that he was more advanced than Li Yi, how could there be a reason for his subordinates to greet his subordinates? When Zou Zhijun asked this, he was clearly belittling him Shao Yixian!

So Shao Yi hung up Zou Zhijun's phone first.

Zou Zhijun wanted to understand the truth, but he could only smile bitterly. I am determined to follow Li Yi, whether in terms of faction or work. I can only follow Li Yi. to have a future. Even if Shao Yi has an opinion about himself first, there is no way to do it.

After thinking about it again, Li Yi came to take office. The Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee will certainly have a deputy minister or even a minister to personally accompany him. Shao Yixian can not take Li Yi in his eyes, can't he also take the leaders of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee in his eyes?

Or does Zou Zhijun want to wait and see, first determine which leader the province sent Li Yi to? Depending on the situation, you can't decide if you can't make it?

Director of the Organization Department of the Xichuan Provincial Party Committee. Generally, they are members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, so they are usually at the vice-provincial level, the executive deputy minister is at the department level, the vice minister and the director of the Personnel Department are generally at the department level, and the other vice ministers are at the deputy department level.

Those who sent Li Yi to take office may be ministers at the level of vice ministers or vice ministers at the level of full rank.

If it was the organization minister who sent Li Yi to take office, Shao Yixian would definitely go to greet him, if it was just a deputy minister who sent Li Yi to take office. Shao Yi can find an excuse not to greet him.

After understanding Shao Yixian's intentions, Zou Zhijun was relieved and continued to call and report to other leaders.

As for several deputy mayors and other department heads. Naturally, he was going to meet Li Yi.

In the specifications to welcome. Because Li Yi has words first, everything is simple. Several comrades in the leading party group of the city government discussed that it is necessary for police cars to open the road and to welcome them to the city boundary. Others, can be simplified.

Li Yi only said that he arrived in Mianzhou today, but did not say what time he would arrive, so at about 9 o'clock in the morning, several deputy mayors and leaders of the city government office, plus the leaders of various major departments in the city, drove to the boundary of Mianzhou City to greet him.

After arriving at the boundary, a row of leaders got out of the car, lined up in a long serpentine shape on the side of the car, waiting for the arrival of Comrade Li Yi.

Li Yi is at the level of the main department and the mayor of a prefecture-level city, so he should be accompanied by a deputy minister or even a minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.

Xichuan Province is located in the hinterland of the interior, although it is only early winter, but the air is cold, the north wind is strong, blowing on the face stinging pain, the cold wind through the collar and sleeves of the clothes, poured into the clothes, raw cold.

The greeting procession was still standing straight at first, and everyone craned their necks to look out at the way they came.

A quarter of an hour passed, and before Li Yi's car came, the greeting team staggered to the side, and everyone kept stomping their feet, putting their hands together to their mouths to keep warm.

Leading the way is Executive Vice Mayor Comrade Zong Dechao. He was nearly fifty years old, with sparse hair on his head, and the north wind was cool and swishing, and his scalp was cold.

Seeing that the leader kept touching his hair, Zong Dechao's secretary took out a hat from the car, handed it over, and said softly: "Mayor Zong, put the hat on first!" ”

Before coming, Zong Dechao deliberately did not wear a hat in order to show solemnity, but his secretary knew his leader well, and his hair was cold when the cold wind blew, for fear that he would catch a cold, so he put his hat on and put it on the back of the car.

Zong Dechao looked at the way and didn't know when Li Yi and the convoy of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee would arrive. The secretary didn't care about this, and put his hat on Zong Dechao's head.

With the warmth of the hat, Zong Dechao felt much warmer, he looked at his watch, looked at the team behind him, and said in a deep voice: "All stand up!" Mayor Li is here, seeing such a team, do you say it's a shame? ”

The crowd stood up again, craned their necks and looked at the road, hoping that the convoy would soon arrive.

The wait was another hour.

At this time, even Zong Dechao couldn't stand still, and kept looking at his watch with some irritability. He beckoned and asked, "Xiaowen, did you see the weather forecast yesterday?" What is the weather today? ”

Secretary Xiaowen said: "Mayor Zong, I have seen it, today is a cloudy day, there is no rain and no sun. Why don't you go to the car and sit in the car first, and I'll ask you to come down when the car comes? ”

Zong Dechao said: "No need, I've been waiting for so long, and I don't care about this moment." ”

Seeing that Zong Dechao insisted on not moving, the other leaders did not dare to make a sound, so they had to wait quietly.

It was more than eleven o'clock, and the convoy of Li Yi and the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee still did not come.

Zong Dechao really couldn't stand still, his legs were a little numb, he moved his body, called Zou Zhijun over, and asked, "Comrade Zhijun, are you sure that Mayor Li is here to take office today?" ”

Zou Zhijun said: "October 22, it's today, there's nothing wrong!" ”

Zong Dechao said: "It's almost twelve o'clock, why hasn't Mayor Li come yet?" ”

Zou Zhijun said: "Mayor Zong, I don't know what's going on. Why don't I make a phone call to the office of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to inquire about the situation? ”

Zong Dechao said: "It's okay to ask!" ”

Zou Zhijun answered and immediately called to inquire, but the comrades in the office of the Organization Department of the provincial party committee received the call and replied that they did not know the matter, so they hung up the phone.

"Mayor Zong, they don't know about it." Zou Zhijun was a little anxious, Mayor Li took office as an important matter, it is impossible for the Office of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee not to know about it?

Zong Dechao said: "What's the matter? Comrade Zhijun, do you have Mayor Li's contact number? Why don't you contact him personally? ”

Zou Zhijun said: "I have a phone number of Mayor Li, I'll call him to try it." ”

Zong Dechao snorted, but there was obviously a strange feeling in his eyes.

Li Yi has not yet come to take office, his phone number, even Zong Dechao does not know, Zou Zhijun, as the director of the government office, actually knows Li Yi's contact number, and it is a personal mobile phone number, which makes Zong Dechao naturally have some unusual ideas.

Zou Zhijun didn't think so far-reaching, the mobile phone was still in his hand, and he immediately found Li Yi's number and dialed it.

The phone is turned off! Can't get through!

"Mayor Zong, Mayor Li's phone can't get through." Zou Zhijun said: "I can't get in touch. ”

Zong Dechao said: "Mayor Li is sure that he is coming to take office today, weishenme his mobile phone can't be contacted, and the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee has no news about him?" What the hell is going on? ”

Zou Zhijun's heart tightened, and he said, "Mayor Zong, nothing will happen to Mayor Li, right?" ”

Zong Dechao's face sank and said, "What's wrong?" What could happen? ”

Zou Zhijun wiped his face and said, "Mayor Zong, I'm just worried. Otherwise, let me ask the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee again! Mayor Li may have come late, and it is possible that he has not reported to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee just now. ”

Zong Dechao hummed heavily, put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and looked into the distance.

The weather was gloomy and gloomy, and the dark clouds were like layers of galloping horses, blocking the sky.

The mountains in the distance, obscured by the clouds, could not be seen clearly, and the cloudy sky was so close to the ground that it seemed to be touchable by reaching out.

Zou Zhijun's phone floated over from the side: "Minister Gu, hello, hehe, I am Zou Zhijun from the Mianyang Municipal Government, yes, yes, it's me." There is one thing I would like to ask about. Our Mayor Li, who came to take office today, why is it so late that I haven't seen him coming? I would like to ask you, did Mayor Li report to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee? - No? Oh, I see, xiexie you. "Put down your phone.

Zong Dechao said: "Comrade Zhijun, what's the matter? Mayor Li has not yet reported to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee? ”

Zou Zhijun said: "Yes, Minister Gu of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee told me that Mayor Li has not yet come to report. What's going on? Could it be that Mayor Li has not yet arrived in the provincial capital? I knew we should go to the provincial airport to pick up the airport! ”

Zong Dechao said: "Is there a possibility? Mayor Li didn't go to repay him, and came straight to Mianzhou? Could it be that they entered the city by another road? ”

Zou Zhijun said: "Mayor Zong, coming from the provincial capital to Mianzhou, this is the only way." It's impossible for Mayor Li not to report to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, right? Even if he doesn't report it, he'll have to pass through here. ”

Zong Dechao said: "Could it be that Mayor Li is really on the plane?" ”

Zou Zhijun said: "I still know the phone number of Mayor Li's previous work unit, I'll ask again." He called the SASAC to inquire, and the news he got was that Comrade Li Yi had left the capital by plane as early as yesterday, and many comrades from the SASAC had gone to the airport to see him off......
