The Organization Department of Shao'an Municipal Party Committee cleared out three offices and a small conference room for the inspection team of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. On the Qingming Festival, although the rain had been drizzling and no stopping, the inspection work was still carried out in an orderly manner as planned.

In the conference room, Ye Zhiran introduced Pan Xiaoping to the members of the inspection team, then smiled and pointed to the chair opposite the conference table, and asked Pan Xiaoping, deputy county magistrate of Zhuzhou County, to take a seat.

"County Magistrate Pan, you have delayed your work. It rained today. Is it okay to walk on the road?"

Ye Zhiran asked Pan Xiaoping to sit opposite the conference table. Here he asked, Cai Zhengliang and Squibb were taking notes. Of course, at the beginning, they talked about family matters to make the atmosphere relatively relaxed.

Pan Xiaoping smiled slightly, showed three teeth, and had a very standard professional smile: "Fortunately, when Mayor Zhoushan was working in Zhuzhou County, he focused on transportation construction. The road from Shaoan to Zhuzhou was built very well, wide and flat. It only took me half an hour to take a bus to come."

Interestingly, I praised Zhou Shan before I even started the conversation.

Ye Zhiran said calmly: "I invited you here today to learn about Comrade Zhou Shan's work. Since County Mayor Pan mentioned Mayor Zhou's major in traffic construction, can he talk about it in detail?"

Pan Xiaoping was obviously prepared. She nodded vigorously, showing a look of admiration and said, "Director Ye, Mayor Zhou has a high position in the hearts of the people of Zhuzhou County. He laid a solid foundation for the economic development of Zhuzhou County. Let's talk about transportation construction. Mayor Zhou stood high and saw far. From the beginning of the highway planning, he proposed to look ahead. At that time, the city planned Shaozhu highway to be built according to the two-way four-lane standard. Mayor Zhou required it to be in place in one step and build according to the two-way six-lane standard. The part that was insufficient funds was raised by Zhuzhou County. When the county standing committee discussed, it was said that there were different opinions, and it was determined because Mayor Zhou insisted. The facts proved that this decision was very correct, greatly improving the traffic pressure in Zhuzhou County and reducing the bottleneck of economic development."

Ye Zhiran nodded to show encouragement. Cai Zhengliang and Squibb wrote quickly next to him, recording.

Pan Xiaoping, who received recognition, smiled a little sweetly. Her face, which was not beautiful, became a little vivid. Especially the two or three small freckles on the tip of her nose were shining and shiny. She continued: "As the smooth construction of the Shaozhu Highway has improved the transportation in Zhuzhou County and the investment environment has greatly improved. Mayor Zhou took advantage of this east wind to successfully introduce Thailand Zhengfang Group. Zhengfang Group is an international feed production enterprise. After completion and production, it greatly improved the economic scale and economic quality of Zhuzhou County."

Judging from the fact that this woman spared no effort to boast about Zhou Shan’s glorious image, she should be a confidant of Zhou Shan who stayed in Zhuzhou County. Of course, the inspection team is also willing to listen to such people express their opinions. If the person in conversation has both confidants of the inspected person, people with intermediate positions and oppositions, the view from multiple perspectives is closer to objective reality.

Ye Zhiran was quite interested in the work of attracting investment and asked: "Pan County Mayor Pan, I have also heard of this Zhengfang Group Company. How much output was there in the year last year? How much tax revenue was created for Zhuzhou County?"

Pan Xiaoping said: "Director Ye, I am in charge of education and hygiene, and I am not familiar with the economy. I can't answer the specific numbers."

Although it is the most basic economic data, it is acceptable to be unable to answer the deputy county magistrate in charge of education and health. However, in this way, her sentence "It greatly improved the economic scale and quality of Zhuzhou County" seems not very convincing enough.

However, Ye Zhiran did not remind her to take the correct attitude when reporting the situation to the Organization Department. He still wanted to hear her thoughts. So what if she added moisture to it? Although the inspection work of the Organization Department seemed a bit formalistic, it actually understood it very carefully. There are many channels. Of course, he would not say these things.

Ye Zhiran then took a sip of tea and asked her a question: "How did County Mayor Pan and Mayor Zhoushan get along with the members of the team when they were working in Zhuzhou?"

"As far as I know, Mayor Zhou and his team members are very united."

"At work, what else do you think mayor Zhou can improve?"

This is a different approach, asking about the shortcomings or shortcomings.

Pan Xiaoping shook her head in anticipation and said, "Mayor Zhou is our role model. I really can't think of any places that can be improved."

"You just said that Mayor Zhou has a high status in the minds of the people of Zhuzhou County and is loved by the people?"

"Yes! Yes! Mayor Zhou has done so many things for the masses, and the masses see it and feel warm in their hearts."

Ye Zhiran decided to test her, smiled and turned to Cai Zhengliang and said, "Xiao Cai, we should go to Zhuzhou County once to listen to the voices of the masses."

Pan Xiaoping, who felt a little bit backfired, was a little stunned, and then intended to make up for it: "Director Ye, when will you come? I'll let the leaders of Zhuzhou County welcome you."

Ye Zhiran, who was smiling like a fox, shook his hand and said, "We should just go down and touch it quietly to understand the first-hand situation, and we will not work on the leaders of Zhuzhou County Party Committee and County Government."

Pan Xiaoping hesitated for a moment and said, "Director Ye, the people nowadays are not as pure as they were in previous years. Some people do not understand right and wrong, are dissatisfied with leading cadres, and have a serious mentality of hating wealth and hating officials."

Ye Zhiran smiled and said, "Don't worry, County Magistrate Pan, we will naturally distinguish this clearly. Judging from what we have already learned, Mayor Zhoushan is indeed very excellent. Like the transportation construction and investment promotion projects you mentioned are real achievements, and even if someone wants to erase it."

Pan Xiaoping exclaimed: "The ideological awareness and political vision of the leadership of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department are higher than those of us, the Eighth Route Army. Director Ye, if you have time, welcome to Zhuzhou County to inspect. Zhuzhou is a historical city and has a high tourism value."

Ye Zhiran said: "Okay, if I go to Zhuzhou in the future, I will definitely trouble County Mayor Pan as a tour guide."

Pan Xiaoping was kind and thoughtful. Before leaving, she shook hands with the three people in the inspection team one by one, and enthusiastically invited Cai Zhengliang and Squibb to Zhuzhou County for "inspection".

When she walked out, Ye Zhiran asked, "Xiao Cai Xiaoshi, how true is County Magistrate Pan's evaluation?"

Shi Guibao curled his lips and said, "Director, no matter whether it is true or false, County Mayor Pan is a little 'fair'."

...Uh, it means she is a bit hypocritical.

Cai Zhengliang pondered for a moment, probably because he felt that criticizing a deputy county magistrate who was working in a local area was not appropriate. He used the Spring and Autumn technique and said, "Director, County Magistrate Pan may be more suitable if he does party affairs."

The criticism seems much more tactful when referring to the deputy county magistrate who should be pragmatic as a party work that is more suitable for pursuing business.

Ye Zhiran looked up to Cai Zhengliang in his heart and said, "I hope that the next few people sang praises like County Magistrate Pan."

This time, they did not do as Ye Zhiran wished. The next two were staff members of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. One worked in the Municipal Government Office and the other worked in the Information Department of the Municipal Party Committee. They spoke completely in Tai Chi. Apart from praising Mayor Zhou Shan for being kind and capable, they could not say anything specific.

Of course, it may also be unwilling to say it. Anyway, everyone knows what the Organization Department’s inspection is.

At noon, I had a working meal with three dishes and one soup in the municipal government cafeteria.

Ye Zhiran exchanged views with Wang Youling with a package and said to the Executive Vice Minister of the Organization Department of Shaoan Municipal Party Committee: "Minister Long, I looked at the information. Mayor Zhoushan has worked in Zhuzhou County for the longest time. It is best to adjust the candidates for the conversation and add two comrades from Zhuzhou County."

Long Fuming nodded and said, "It's easy. I'll call immediately. Zhuzhou County originally had two alternative candidates, one was the secretary of the Organization Department of Zhuzhou County Party Committee, and the other was the secretary of the Party Committee of Touqiao Township, Zhuzhou County. He was familiar with the situation of Mayor Zhoushan."

"Okay, these two comrades are very suitable. Please inform Minister Long."

"Okay, I'll call right away. If you get faster, they'll arrive in half an hour."

The first one to arrive in the afternoon was the Party Secretary of Touqiao Township, whose surname was Liu, who was short and fat.

Ye Zhiran asked: "Secretary Liu, thank you for your hard work. I'm so far away because the Organization Department takes a serious and responsible attitude to understand Mayor Zhou Shan's work experience and situation. Mayor Zhou once worked in Touqiao Township. You have worked with him and have the right to speak. I hope you can be realistic. Another point is that our conversation is kept confidential and will not be revealed, so please rest assured."

Secretary Liu knew that the young man sitting opposite was an official of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. He was an out of reach. He felt a little weak. He sucked two puffs of cigarettes before calming down a little, and said, "Leader, when Mayor Zhou was working in Touqiao Township, I was the director of the Party and Government Office, and worked under his leadership. Mayor Zhou was very capable, and the cadres in the village were convinced by him. I couldn't tell any big reason. I think Mayor Zhou was very good."

After hearing this, Ye Zhiran knew that he could not find any good questions. After asking a few simple questions, Secretary Liu had questions and answers, and the answers were all within Ye Zhiran's expectations.

The second conversation in the afternoon was an officer of the Organization Department of Zhuzhou County Party Committee. He was nearly fifty years old and had a high overall evaluation of Mayor Zhoushan. When Ye Zhiran asked about Mayor Zhou's reputation among the local people, he hesitated for a while and said: "There are always differences in the evaluation of the masses, some agree, some oppose, and some indifferent."

This statement is obviously different from County Mayor Pan Xiaoping. Ye Zhiran couldn't help but ask: "Where do the main dissatisfaction of the masses come from?"

"Mainly when the Shaozhu Highway was being built, the county was in financial difficulties and had some fundraising levies, which caused some dissatisfaction among some people."

Ye Zhiran found his prey like a lion in the forest, and was energetic and asked, "Please tell me the details."

Unexpectedly, this officer seemed to realize that he had missed his words and refused to say anything more next.
