Chapter 9: Getting to Work

isn't it I'm probably going to have to work overtime today. 。County Magistrate, I'm truly sorry, but I'm afraid I can't attend the banquet today. 。"Could we have dinner together sometime, County Magi...Xiao Zheng said to Li Haiyan, "Haiyan, Commissioner Zhang called. I'll take his call first." 。Li Haiyan said, "Okay, you answer the phone first. Let's talk later." 。"Xiao Zheng hung up Li Haiyan's phone and picked up Zhang Qing's call. He only heard Zhang Qing's voice coming from the other end: "Xiao Zheng, don't go out today." 。Before lunch, the inspection team wants to talk to you. 。“Talk What’s there to talk about” Xiao Zheng feigned surprise.Zhang Qing replied, “Today's democratic recommendation has selected you, and an examination will be conducted shortly after. Finally, they will have a conversation with you.” 。"That's so I didn't expect that, I would be recommended...." 。"Zhang Qing paused and said, 'I didn't expect that either. Just wait for me in the office.'" 。After hanging up from Zhang Qing's call, Xiao Zheng was sure this time he had truly been recommended. 。

On the fourth floor of the municipal government building, in a small conference room, the inspection and conversation had already begun. 。

The first person to be found was naturally Song Guoming, the Party secretary of the town committee. 。The deputy director of the County Committee Organization Department and Director of Human Resources and Social Security, Shao Weixing, along with two other cadres from the Organization Department, sat opposite Song Guoming. Each of them had a black notebook open in front of them, and beside their white ceramic cups, there was a faint aroma of tea. 。Before becoming known for its tea plantations, Tianguan Town was famous for producing teas. Even if the leaves from the mountaintops weren't considered high-end, their aroma alone could make one feel an intense urge to take a sip. 。"Secretary Song, it would be a trouble for you to introduce Comrade Xiao Zheng to us." Song Guoming looked at Shao Weixing and didn't begin to evaluate Xiao Zheng, but said: "Director Shao, today you are the leader of the Organization Department, and there are two other comrades from the Organization Department here..." 。I have a question. The recommendation criteria this time set "Bachelor's degree or above, and graduated from a 985 university." Isn't this educational requirement too narrow In our town, to put it bluntly, only one person meets this condition. 。Moreover, the person being recommended now is not the most outstanding one in our town. 。Song Guoming didn't even say "Xiao Zheng's" name, instead using "that person" as a substitute. 。Two other cadres in the Organization Department exchanged glances and both sensed it, Secretary Song's dislike for Xiao Zheng. 。Minister Shao explained: "Song Shuji, regarding the cadre requirements for this time, let me explain to you..." 。Over the years, our county has recruited a batch of outstanding graduates from key universities to work at the grassroots level. This is a major measure to attract young and excellent talents back to their hometowns to participate in construction and play a role. 。The Organization Department has also conducted a survey. After these outstanding graduates arrived at the grassroots level, due to the training issues of our county Party Committee Organization Department and the township and street offices, a large part of them were not effectively utilized and did not receive proper training. 。These college graduates were all outstanding during their time in school, but after entering the grassroots level, they encountered both personal adaptation issues and a lack of emphasis on cultivation from our employing units. 。This is detrimental to attracting outstanding talent back to their hometowns for the next step, so at the end of last year, the county's Organization Department proposed to the county committee to increase the promotion and employment of graduates from key universities, with the first priority given to graduates from 985 universities. 。This work was supposed to have been pushed forward months ago. 。When there was a change in the county party secretary, this work came to a halt. 。Now that the new headmaster is in office, when we, the department heads, go to report on matters, he mentioned this situation. The new headmaster immediately made a decision, saying that this work is important and will be started right away. 。Therefore, the county Party Committee Organization Department will immediately start the nomination process. 。The first batch targets graduates from 985 universities over the past few years, with a total of 12 people involved across the county. The county Party Committee's Organization Department has dispatched 3 recommendation and inspection teams. Tianhuang Town is under the responsibility of our team. 。The situation is as follows. I'd like to explain it to Song Shu, and hope that Song Shu can understand and support our work. 。。But that doesn't mean they are good at reading, they can do well when working in the countryside! You have set such narrow conditions now, so you can only recommend this person. 。But this person, how is their work What is their public approval rating These are also factors that need to be considered. 。"

Song Guoming was still very opposed to investigating Xiao Zheng." 。Minister Shao said, "Secretary Song, your concerns have also been considered by the County Committee Organization Department." 。So, that's where our democratic recommendation process comes in. 。"Today's democratic recommendation, a total of 86 people participated. Do you know how many votes Xiao Zheng got" Song Guoming shook his head and asked, "Did he get over half If not, I suggest we don't even need to investigate." 。"Minister Shao smiled and said: "Secretary Song, you may have underestimated Xiao Zheng. He received 79 votes, which is 91.8%. Although this voting rate is not the best, it can be considered quite good." 。That's why we've included him in our pool of candidates. 。"

“How could he have such a high approval rating” Song Guoming was incredulous" 。According to Song Guoming's estimation, it was already a big surprise that Xiao Zheng got more than half the votes. Unexpectedly, his voting rate was higher than 91%, which made Song Guoming unacceptable. 。Could it be that he truly underestimated Xiao Zheng

Minister Shao smiled and said, "If Secretary Song doesn't believe us, we can show him the recommendation votes." 。“Song Guoming, the party secretary of the Ming Dynasty satellite looked around, then at the two cadres from the organization department beside him, thinking to himself, this kind of thing definitely can't be done, it would make him seem like he had a particular problem with ordinary cadres and that his heart was narrow.” 。Since the decision to promote graduates from 985 universities is coming from the county Party committee and its organization department, I'm afraid I can't stop it. I guess Xiao Zheng just got lucky. 。Song Guoming said: "There's no need to look at the recommendation votes. With Minister Shao in charge and cadres from the Organization Department present, the recommendation votes will definitely be accurate." 。Thank you Song Shu for the recognition. 。"Seeing Song Guoming's mood had eased, Shao Weixing smiled and said, "Then please trouble Secretary Song to introduce Comrade Xiao Zheng to us, telling us about his strengths and weaknesses." 。“Well, I can only give you a brief explanation.” 。This Xiao Zheng comrade, actually doesn't have much influence in town, so I don't know him very well. 。"

Shao Weixing doesn't believe this." 。From today's performance, it can be seen that Zhen Party Committee Secretary Song Guoming has considerable objections to Xiao Zheng. 。A person won't randomly hold a grudge against another without reason. It only happens when two people have interacted and there's a conflict of interest. 。So, Song Guoming saying he doesn't know Xiao Zheng is nothing but an excuse. It shows that he doesn't want to face the reality of Xiao Zheng being investigated. 。Shao Weixing has worked in personnel management for many years and understands cadres' psychology very well. 。But Song Guoming was the Party Secretary, and besides, during an inspection, it mainly depends on the willingness of the person being interviewed. Shao Weixing didn't force Song Guoming to say more. 。But Song Guoming still talked about some shortcomings of Xiao Zheng, one of which was that his awareness of the overall situation was not strong. 。This may seem like a simple point, but this "big-picture thinking" is extremely important. 。During a general assessment, if it is widely reported that cadres lack a strong sense of the overall situation, they will not be promoted. 。 Shao Weixing realized that Song Guoming's opinion of Xiao Zheng was not just a small one, but to the point of wanting to ruin Xiao Zheng's future. 。After Song Guoming left, Shao Weixing said to the two organizational department cadres beside him: "You guys go outside for a bit first. Say that the investigation and conversation are temporarily suspended. I need to make a phone call." 。I will let you know when it's time to resume the conversation. 。Two cadres from the Organization Department understood, and immediately stood up: "Yes, we'll go tell Commissioner Zhang." 。Hong’s round eyes stared at Xiao Zheng. “Our seven years together, could it just end like this Before, when you were struggling in the countryside, my parents strongly opposed us being together, but I...
