At about 7:30 the next day, driver Ma Guosheng drove car No. 2 to the guest house. Xiao Wang, who was accompanying Chu Tianshu to the countryside, and Liu Qingyan, who came to see Chu Tianshu off, came with him.

Xiao Wang rushed to the room to help Chu Tianshu carry the suitcase, but Su Hang stopped him. She wouldn't let him lift it up and drag it, forcing him to move it sideways.

Xiao Wang was confused and said, how easy it is to drag it, but how troublesome it is to move it.

Su Hang didn't explain. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you can't move it, I'll do it." After saying that, he bent down to move the suitcase. This time, it was Xiao Wang's turn to be anxious. If a little girl was asked to carry the suitcase,

He moved the box out and followed behind empty-handed. Not only would he be ridiculed by Liu Qingyan, but it would also leave a bad impression on Chu Tianshu that he was afraid of hardship and tiredness.

Xiao Wang stopped Suhang, picked up his sleeves, and prepared to move the boxes.

Su Hang took his arm.

"What?" Xiao Wang said, "Do you really think I can't move it? I'm not that delicate."

"Who said you can't move it?" Suhang Nu said: "Take off your suit and I will hold it for you to prevent it from getting dirty."

Only then did Xiao Wang realize that he had misunderstood Su Hang's good intentions. He smiled awkwardly, took off his suit obediently, handed it to Su Hang, and bent down to pick up the suitcase.

After going downstairs and out the door, Ma Guosheng ran a few steps, stepped forward, took the suitcase from Xiao Wang's hand, and put it safely into the trunk.

Chu Tianshu was standing next to the car, talking to Liu Qingyan. He spent these few minutes getting a preliminary understanding of Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang's name is Wang Yongchao. He is just 23 years old this year. He graduated from Southeast University of Finance and Economics last year. He participated in the Southeast Province selection and college student village official recruitment exams and was admitted. He was inexplicably assigned to Qingyuan City, and then inexplicably to Qingyuan City.

Nanling County.

The young man is very handsome and talented. He not only has professional knowledge of systematic economic management, but also writes good articles.

According to regulations, selected students must be assigned to the grassroots level, and county agencies are not allowed to withhold them. However, most of the county offices are staff with various connections and do not have a decent pen. The materials written by the county office are always not as good as those of the county office, because the county office still has

There is Liu Qingyan, a serious college graduate.

Xue Jinlong got a lot of ridicule from Fu Damu for this.

Every time a meeting was held and the county magistrate and secretary had to give a speech, Fu Damu always felt that his speech was not as exciting as the secretary's. After the meeting, he would scold Xue Jinlong for being incompetent.

Last year, when Wang Yongchao arrived, Xue Jinlong approached Fu Damu and tricked him into leaving him in the county office to be responsible for writing various materials and running errands. In this way, Fu Damu was satisfied with the speech draft, and Xue Jinlong also

There is one more doormat that can be dispatched at will.

Almost all college students who apply for transfer have a dream of a successful career.

After working in the county for less than a year, Wang Yongchao was very depressed at work. He was busy writing materials all day long, feeling busy and empty. On the surface, he had to be respectful to Xue Jinlong and swallow his anger. Secretly, he made a plan.

It's a poor place, and there's really little hope of getting ahead.

This time Xue Jinlong sent him to go to the countryside with Chu Tianshu, and Wang Yongchao happily agreed.

Before leaving, Wang Yongchao also accepted a special mission to report Chu Tianshu's movements to Xue Jinlong at any time, but he still regarded this trip to accompany the secretary to the countryside as an opportunity. If he did it well, he might be able to change himself

fate. Of course, if you screw up and both parties are displeased, then it’s completely doomed.

Therefore, Wang Yongchao studied Chu Tianshu's experience with great concentration and admired him for being able to become the secretary of the county party committee at the age of twenty-seven. He secretly regarded him as his role model and hoped to take this opportunity of close contact to learn from him.

While learning the ways of being an official, he also waited for an opportunity to catch Chu Tianshu and use him as his supporter in his future career.

After driving out of the county seat and running along a bumpy road along the Tongtian River, Chu Tianshu and his party arrived at Daliushu Township at around 9:30.

Nanling County has jurisdiction over 10 townships, 5 towns and more than 600 natural villages, with a total area of ​​more than 900 square kilometers and a total population of more than 800,000.

Daliushu Township is the closest township to the county seat. It is located in the hilly area where the county seat transitions from the mountainous area. Beyond the Tongtian River that runs through the county, there is the rolling Fuyun Mountains. The other nine townships are scattered among the mountains.

Township Party Committee Secretary Zuo Tiannian, Township Chief Shi Zhiqiang, Deputy Township Chief Huang Jian and several other township cadres greeted him at the junction of Chengguan Town and Daliushu Township.

Zuo Tiannian used to be the director of the county office. He was the person used by the old county magistrate when he was in power, not Fu Damu's confidant.

After Fu Damu came to power, he wanted to reuse Xue Jinlong, so he sent Zuo Tiannian to Daliu Shu Township as secretary. However, he was not reassured, so he promoted Shi Zhiqiang, the deputy mayor of Xinglin Township, to become the township chief.

Zuo Tiannian has more than ten years of experience in government work. His way of being an official is to stick to the bottom line and stay on his own. If he doesn't have to take sides, then maintaining a working relationship with everyone, including leaders, is enough.

He believes that in the officialdom, in addition to the blood relationship of father, son and brother, even half-mothers are potential enemies and rivals, and they are all pure interests. Especially in the current Nanling, the future political pattern

It was still confusing, so his approach was safer than rushing to please the new secretary in a hurry.

Chu Tianshu got off the car and shook hands with Zuo Tiannian, Shi Zhiqiang and others, and then asked them to lead the way to Xingouzi Village, where the township government is located.

We walked along and talked while walking.

Zuo Tiannian did not deliberately conceal anything or highlight anything. He basically reported the specific situation of Daliushu Township to the new secretary in an objective and detailed manner without covering up or exaggerating.

For example, when talking about the management of Tongtian River, reinforcement of dams and reconstruction of roads and bridges, Zuo Tiannian emphasized the great significance of this to Daliushu Township and even the entire county. He also expressed certain concerns and admitted that it was difficult to complete the work of the county committee and county due to financial difficulties.

The government’s construction requirements for “village-to-village” highways.

From beginning to end, Zuo Tiannian smiled gently, but with a bit of distance in his cordiality, sometimes giving Chu Tianshu the feeling of being neither humble nor overbearing.

This did not disgust Chu Tianshu. He believed that attitude and words were not important to measure whether a cadre was competent. What was important was whether he wanted to do things and whether he could do good things. From this point of view, his first priority

My feeling is that Zuo Tiannian is qualified.

On the village streets along the way, most of them were brick houses, dilapidated and low. There were some old people, women and children who heard that the county leaders had arrived. They stood on the street edge and stared at them.

Shi Zhiqiang smiled and said to Chu Tianshu: "Secretary Chu, if you could shake hands with the people on the street, they would not wash their hands for three days."

"What do you mean?" Chu Tianshu asked.

Shi Zhiqiang said seriously: "The people here have never seen high officials. If you shake their hands, they will be excited for several days and will be reluctant to wash the hands you shook. They will use the hands you shook before going to the village."

When you shake someone's hand, you say it's the secretary's hand. Shaking his hand is equivalent to shaking the hand of your county magistrate."

Chu Tianshu laughed: "Chief Shi, are you exaggerating a bit..."

Just as he was talking, a woman rushed over from the street shouting "Master Qingtian, I am wronged", followed by more than ten yelling men, women and children.

Deputy township head Huang Jian immediately rushed forward with several village cadres to block them and prevent them from getting closer to Chu Tianshu. The two sides pushed and shoved each other and became a huddle.

Wang Yongchao’s head immediately became enlarged.

This is the rhythm of stopping a sedan chair to complain! He took a vigilant step forward and stood in front of Chu Tianshu, as if he was ready to resist an attack at any time.

Chu Tianshu asked Zuo Tiannian: "What's going on?"

Zuo Tiannian said: "It may be that the villagers of Hexi Village came to the township to ask for disability compensation."

He said that a month ago, when a villager in Hedong Village was walking on the road, several dump trucks flew by, and a stone jumped out of the tire, which happened to hit his left eye, causing retinal damage and leading to

Blind in left eye.

The villagers claimed 100,000 yuan in medical expenses and disability compensation from the Datong Transportation Company where the vehicle was located.

But Datong Company believes that this is not their responsibility. Firstly, there is no evidence to prove that the villagers' eyes were blinded by stones thrown by the dump truck. Secondly, the dump truck was running normally. Even if this was the case, it was because the villagers themselves failed to take precautions.

, he should bear the responsibility himself, and he was determined not to compensate for one hundred thousand yuan. At most, he gave two thousand yuan out of humanitarianism to show sympathy.

Chu Tianshu asked: "Why has it been delayed for more than a month and it still hasn't been resolved?"

Zuo Tiannian said that the differences between the two sides were so great that the villagers' families and relatives took to the road to block the car.

Since the car could not be driven out, Datong Company put pressure on the county and asked the villagers to compensate for the losses.

The county pressured the township to organize mediation, but both sides insisted on their own opinions and could not reach an agreement. The villagers also went to the county to petition. The dispute lasted for more than a month, but the problem was still not completely resolved.

Yesterday evening, family members of the villagers stopped the car again to demand an explanation.

The people from Datong Company said that if you are blind in one eye but you can still work, how can it be worth 100,000 yuan? Isn’t this blackmail? If you make trouble again, we will call the police and arrest you all.

I'm afraid this angered the villagers. When they heard that the new county secretary was coming, they organized roadblocks to appeal, hoping to make a big fuss so that the matter could be resolved faster.

The village cadres were still scolding and trying to persuade the villagers to leave, but the villagers were crying and shouting and kept trying to rush this way.

There are more and more people watching the excitement, and the road ahead is blocked by crowds.

When Chu Tianshu saw it, his heart tightened. He was blind in one eye. How could he go out to work in the fields in the future? He only asked for compensation of 100,000 yuan. This was not too much. How could he call it blackmail? Datong Company was so overbearing.

The township government is helpless and the county is sitting back and doing nothing. Who will speak for the people?

Seeing this, Shi Zhiqiang leaned close to Chu Tianshu and whispered: "Secretary Chu, let's go around here."

Seeing so many villagers crowded at the intersection, county and township cadres took a detour, which will undoubtedly affect the image of the government and cadres in everyone's mind. No matter what, since I bumped into it, I shouldn't avoid it. Chu Tianshu watched

He glanced at the crowd in front and said to Wang Yongchao: "Xiao Wang, get out of the way, let's go over and have a look."
Chapter completed!
