The cadre dormitory area of Markham County is divided into a leadership dormitory area and an ordinary cadre dormitory area, the former has only one to twenty-four small courtyards of single households, which is for the leaders to live at the department level, and the ordinary cadre dormitory area across the river is just a tube building and row house, and according to the family situation, it is divided into collective dormitory, single dormitory and family dormitory, in short, it is a large area, it is said that the county party committee and county government organs, and most of the staff of Kangle Town, live here.

In fact, since several old cadres moved out, more than half of the houses were empty, and according to his ranking in the county party committee, he should have moved to the empty No. 5 building, but Sun Zhengbang has always liked to be low-key and quiet, so he discussed it with his wife, and took advantage of the Saturday afternoon break to move into Building 24 of the leadership dormitory.

Building No. 20 lives in Xu Guozhang, the county magistrate of Fu County, who is in charge of science, education, culture and health.

Sun Zhengbang was the most compatible with Xu Guozhang before he became the executive magistrate of Fu County, and the two had a lot of contacts.

Xu Guozhang sat alone in the courtyard, wearing reading glasses, holding today's "Markham" in his hand, at the beginning of the night, the courtyard was dim, and he let out a low sigh, obviously, he was not reading the newspaper.

"Brother Guozhang, what are you thinking about alone?"

Sun Zhengbang asked with a smile as he walked over and sat down on the bamboo chair opposite Xu Guozhang.

"Alas, Brother Sun, aren't you knowingly asking?" No mistakes, no word skipping.

Xu Guozhang put the newspaper on the small table next to him, picked up a cigarette and gave it to Sun Zhengbang, and he also talked about one, and after lighting the fire, he smoked it sullenly.

"Brother Guozhang, don't sigh, at your age, your body is important."

Of course, Sun Zhengbang knew why Xu Guozhang sighed.

Today's issue of Markham published an article by Chang Ning, the county party committee's secretary, entitled "Developing Education Is the Fundamental Policy for Markham County to Get Rid of Poverty and Become Rich."

People who can read the newspaper can see that this is discussing the issue of education development in Markham County, which is clearly a sharp article, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and the spearhead is directly aimed at Xu Guozhang, the county magistrate of Fu County, who is in charge of the county's education, and the county education commission.

"This doll is not easy to remember, people are urging me to let Xian get out."

Sun Zhengbang smiled bitterly, Chang Ning's article, of course he has read it, its meaning is self-evident, the question now is that people's swords are out of the sheath, whether Xu Guozhang surrenders or takes it.

With Xu Guozhang's character, he will not resist, Sun Zhengbang came to visit, in fact, to comfort him.

"Brother Guozhang, I received a call from Chang Ji in the afternoon, and his fifth cousin wants to donate 500,000 yuan to support the education cause of our county."

Xu Guozhang said with a smile: "This sister's baby is like a cash cow, brother, the problem of education funds in the future will definitely not be a problem." ”

Sun Zhengbang smiled slightly: "Brother Guozhang is really open-minded, he can advance and retreat, it seems that the rhetoric I prepared is a waste." ”

The two men looked at each other and smiled.

"Hehe, to say that I am selfless in my heart, it must be high, to say that I am nostalgic for the official position, but that is to underestimate me Xu Guozhang, I will not be like those two, I refuse to leave with a dead face, I am fifty-four years old, I can't see through anything."

The "two" Xu Guozhang said are, of course, Cheng Dakun and Li Guitian, Xu Guozhang has always looked down on two uneducated old colleagues.

"Take a step back and live wide, Brother Guozhang, my Sun Zhengbang can't compare to you."

Xu Guozhang shook his hand and said: "Hey, how old are you, Zhengbang, you have a lot of energy, you can't say anything discouraged." ”

Sun Zhengbang smiled, but there was suffering in his heart, on the one hand, Wang Tielin and Ma Yuding hoped that he would cultivate his own small circle, on the other hand, Chang Ning seemed to be aware of him, and the life in the gap was really not good.

"Hehe, this doll has a set of notes, and a series of small actions in the past few days have made Cheng Dakun and Li Guitian ants in a hot pot, interesting, so interesting."

Sun Zhengbang asked with a smile: "Brother Guozhang, this article that I often remember seems to be a bit excessive." ”

Xu Guozhang is not easy to dismiss, Sun Zhengbang is afraid that he and Chang Ning will be bullish, and it will be difficult to deal with him in the middle.

"Zhengbang, don't worry, I've figured it out, hehe, to be honest, I really couldn't figure it out at first, but I don't need to beat the drum hard, but I need to beat the drum hard, beat it well, beat it well."

Saying that, Xu Guozhang stood up, "Zhengbang, you came just in time, accompany me on a trip." ”

"Are you going to find Chang Ji?" No mistakes, no word skipping.

"Hehe, yes, yes, people have saved me enough face, if I don't take the initiative to resign, do I still have to wait for others to catch me with a whip."

Chang Ning was watching TV in the living room, while watching Murong Xue holding a mop in her hand, struggling to drag the floor.

"Hehe, I said Fifth Cousin, if you really don't want to suffer and be tired, just retreat and open the way."

"I, I'm biased, I, I want to be firm to the end, what the chairman said, persistence is victory."

Murong Xue gritted her teeth and continued to bend over to work, this was the third time she had mopped the floor today, although this was also the third time in her life, but she had to insist, because Chang Ning had warned her viciously, the car was parked outside the door, and if she didn't work well, the horse would send her away.

When there was a knock on the door, Chang Ning sat on the sofa and did not move, and naturally it was Murong Xue who ran to open the door.

For the visitors, it was Sun Zhengbang and Xu Guozhang, which were both in Chang Ning's plan and unexpected.

Murong Xue made rapid progress, and was also willing to take on the role of hostess, greeting, please sit, tea, warm and thoughtful, and then retreated into the room obediently.

After insisting on lighting cigarettes for the two county magistrates Fu personally, taking advantage of Xu Guozhang's flattery, Chang Ning stood in front of him and bowed respectfully, so startled that Xu Guozhang hurriedly stood up.

"Always remember, you can't do it, you can't help it."

Chang Ning pressed Xu Guozhang back to the sofa before he sat back.

"The juniors have offended the seniors, and it is also appropriate to make a salute, don't the seniors think it is not enough?"

"Enough, enough, Chang Ji, I don't dare to be ashamed." Xu Guozhang said repeatedly.

The three pairs of eyes fell on the "Markham" on the coffee table, and they all laughed heartily together.

Everyone understands people, and everything is self-evident.

In the pleasant atmosphere, Sun Zhengbang also had a rare sense of humor.

"Chang Ji, my electric light, is it a little redundant?"

Chang Ning smiled slightly, looked at Xu Guozhang and asked, "What does County Magistrate Xu think?" ”

"Hehe, redundant is redundant, but more is better than less, surplus is better than missing, redundant is not a bad thing, often remember, you are the master, I am the host."

Chang Ning pretended to think, and then said with a smile: "County Magistrate Xu said very reasonably, basically universalizing nine-year compulsory education within three years is a major project, and it really needs Comrade Zhengbang's efforts. ”

Sun Zhengbang asked in surprise: "Chang Ji, do you really want to have major surgery?" ”

Chang Ning pointed at Xu Guozhang and said, "This has to ask the county magistrate Xu to make a decision." ”

Xu Guozhang said: "Chang Ji, Zhengbang, as you all know, there is no shortage of teachers in Markham County, what is lacking is money, as long as there is money, three years is enough." ”

Sun Zhengbang also said: "Lao Xu is right, and my judgment is also like this. ”

"Two county magistrates, you make an estimate, how much will it cost?"

Xu Guozhang and Sun Zhengbang glanced at each other, and Xu Guozhang said: "Chang Ji, the follow-up investment is not counted, within three years, the investment in school buildings, teaching furniture and the new teachers' salaries, five million should be enough." ”

Chang Ning thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll solve the problem of money, but I will leave it to the two of you to achieve the task of nine years of compulsory education within three years." ”

Sun Zhengbang responded: "Chang Ji, I will do my best." ”

Xu Guozhang said with a smile: "Chang Ji, you are really amazing, generous, there is hope for Markham County, but unfortunately, I, Xu Guozhang, can't participate in it." ”

"Oh, does County Magistrate Xu want to be a deserter?" No mistakes, no word skipping.

"Chang Ji, I, Xu Guozhang, feel ashamed, your article is rightly criticized, you are incapable, and those who obstruct reform and hinder the development of the stratum should consciously give way, and I came today to ask you to resign from the post of county magistrate, and willingly go to the CPPCC or the people's congress to exert their residual energy."

Chang Ning nodded, smiled and said nothing.

Sun Zhengbang said: "Chang Ji, I can prove that Lao Xu's resignation was completely voluntary, and it has nothing to do with your article. ”

Chang Ning smiled softly, stood up, and paced around the huge living room.

I don't know when it began, Chang Ning developed this habit of pacing, walking evenly, unhurriedly, not only relaxed and calm and helpful to think, but also in front of his subordinates, showing the authority and demeanor of the leader, unconsciously, Chang Ning himself did not feel at all, in some ways, he is becoming more and more like a bureaucrat.

"Comrade Xu Guozhang, and Comrade Sun Zhengbang, where are you and when, I heard me say that I won't let Comrade Xu Guozhang continue to serve as the magistrate of Fu County?"

Chang Ning stopped, and the smile on his face was very bright.

Sun Zhengbang and Xu Guozhang froze.

"Comrade Zhengbang, did I say that?" No mistakes, no word skipping.

"No, absolutely not."

"Comrade Guozhang, have you heard of it?" No mistakes, no word skipping.

"Chang Ji, I haven't heard of it either."

Chang Ning sat back on the sofa and laughed evilly.

"Clearly, what about me, I've been reading a book about thirty-six strategies recently, and I have a deep experience, one of them, it's very interesting, I'm itching for a while, but I just want to give it a try, guess what?"

Sun Zhengbang and Xu Guozhang were the same again, and said in unison: "The sound is east and west." ”

The three of them laughed in unison.

Chang Ning smiled: "Comrade Guozhang, I have wronged you." ”

"Chang Ji, the grievance point is nothing, I hope those two West can be defeated by you in one fell swoop."
