Chapter 112: Which town was replaced? What happened? ...
"Xiao Qu, come to my office."
Qu Mingli went out to do some things and was stopped by Secretary Tang as soon as he came back.
He put the key back in his pocket and followed Secretary Tang to his office.
Ever since he helped solve the system replacement issue and helped Changshan County win an advanced award in the city, the relationship between the two has gradually become closer.
The main person is indeed capable and doesn't like to cause trouble. Secretary Tang is not a fool, so why not use him?
It was only June, and it was still early for logging. Qi Fang was also modifying the machine in an orderly manner. Qu Mingli didn't know why the other party asked him to do it.
As soon as he entered, Secretary Tang handed him a document with three big words on it - Petition.
He was a little surprised and looked up at Secretary Tang. Seeing Secretary Tang nod, he opened the book and read it carefully.
This was actually written by the Liuhu Town Forestry Bureau, detailing all the inappropriate behaviors of the secretary of the Liuhu Town Forestry Bureau since he took office.
This includes but is not limited to the failure to approve the funds when they were due, which resulted in the bureau's machines falling into disrepair and not being replaced in a timely manner, seriously affecting work progress.
They appoint people based on personal connections, do not clearly define responsibilities, and only assign tasks to people with whom they have a good relationship, resulting in confusion of responsibilities within the bureau.
Of course, the most important thing is the wrong decisions, which have caused losses to the bureau and damaged the collective interests on several occasions.
The examples are all ready-made. Raising the price of the tree head was one time, and going back on their word and asking for the deposit back is another time, and the consequences are getting more serious each time.
Everyone in the Liuhu Town Forestry Bureau agreed that Secretary Hu was no longer suitable for this position, both in terms of ability and conduct, and hoped that the bureau could replace him.
Finally, the petitioners signed their names, which filled up almost an entire page. This shows how unpopular Secretary Hu is.
Secretary Tang pointed to the petition and said, "I checked. Except for one deputy director, the director and the secretaries of several forestry farms under him all signed it. It's at the beginning."
He shook his head and said, "I've only seen this kind of collective demand for a leadership change once. It was because the production brigade secretary was so incompetent. At the end of the year, the whole team was paid based on work points, and each worker only earned 1.2 cents."
At 1.2 cents a day, how much money can you get in a year?
Of course, the people in the team were not happy about this, and they collectively kicked the team leader out and gave him the nickname "Yimaoer".
However, this was the first time that Secretary Tang had seen a formal unit collectively requesting a change of leadership. When he first received the petition, he was stunned.
He couldn't help but ask Qu Mingli: "I've only heard a little about the deposit requirement. What's going on?"
Apart from Deputy Director An, Qu Mingli knew the most about this matter. Seeing that Secretary Tang wanted to know the situation, he told him the truth.
Secretary Tang was speechless at the time, but Qu Mingli looked at him and said, "And it's not just this one thing. He also wanted to buy on credit with the center before, but the center didn't agree."
Qu Mingli didn't want Secretary Tang to have any idea of helping to mediate. A person who repeatedly went back on his word and made wrong decisions should not occupy an important position in the team.
Sure enough, Secretary Tang was even more speechless after hearing this. No wonder the breeding center refused to sell the strains to him no matter what. If he were Zhuang Qixiang, he would not sell them either.
But in this case, this petition must be taken more seriously. If the people below are really pushed into a corner, they may rebel.
Moreover, Chengshui and Donggou are now striding forward, while Liuhu is still standing still. It is not a good thing for the county bureau to continue to keep such a person there.
You know, two towns in the neighboring Baisong County have already started growing wood ear mushrooms. Changshan is the origin of artificial cultivation of wood ear mushrooms. It can't be surpassed by later comers, right?
Secretary Tang's expression turned serious. "I'll think about this matter again." But in fact, he had already made up his mind to replace him.
Sure enough, a few days later, he brought up this matter at a meeting, planning to transfer Secretary Hu to another place as a deputy and send someone else to Liuhu Town.
Among them, Deputy Director An has a close relationship with Secretary Hu of Liuhu Town, so of course he has to say a few words to help him.
After all, if he is transferred to a deputy position for such a reason, he will live like this for the rest of his life and will be looked down upon by the new unit.
But people are really willing to seek death. It would be fine if he could grow wild vegetables, but he didn't, so no matter what good words he said, it's useless.
In the end, most people agreed to change people. The only thing Deputy Director An could do was to notify Secretary Hu in Liuhu after the meeting to see if he could come up with a solution.
In fact, it had no effect. In order to prevent any further complications, Secretary Tang acted quite quickly this time. Deputy Director An had just found the opportunity to notify everyone when the transfer order was issued.
So even though Secretary Hu of the Liuhu Town Forestry Bureau was extremely angry, he had to pack up and leave. He could only wait until he arrived at his new unit and then slowly figure out a solution.
The remaining question is who will take over the Liuhu Town Forestry Bureau after he leaves. Generally speaking, someone can be promoted from between the director and deputy director.
But no one dared to say they were up to the task of taking over a mess. Furthermore, their contract with the cultivation center only lasted a year, so they wouldn't be able to buy strains from the center next year.
While cursing, everyone could only ask the county bureau to see if they could transfer someone who had connections with the training center.
We have a good relationship and are easy to talk to. Once the relationship between the two sides eases, won’t we be able to buy the fungus strains?
Not only can they buy it, but for the sake of the new secretary, the subsequent guidance and training center will not bear grudges and deliberately neglect their efforts, causing them no losses.
However, this candidate is obviously not easy to find. In terms of connections, the person who has the best connections with the training center is Qu Mingli. We can't let him go, right?
Then there are those people from Chengshui. Some people can't help but think of Lang Zhongting. This man came from Jinchuan Forest Farm. Apart from anything else, he is definitely good at cultivating wood ear mushrooms.
"He's been in town for less than two years, hasn't he?" Someone else felt it was inappropriate. "If he's transferred directly to Liuhu as the top leader, I'm afraid he won't be able to control the people below him."
First of all, the director and deputy director of the Liuhu Town Forestry Bureau must be dissatisfied. He has no roots in Liuhu Town or the county bureau, and it would be easy for him to become a mascot if he went there.
Moreover, Lang Zhongting is not from the county bureau, so there is nothing to do in his bureau, and naturally there are no good opportunities.
"Why not transfer Zhuang Qixiang there?" someone else suggested, "He doesn't need to have any connections with the training center anymore, and he has experience as a top leader."
Secretary Tang frowned at the time. "The training center has only been established for less than two years. It wouldn't be a good idea to transfer him away."
"What's wrong with that?" another person laughed. "I think he's doing a great job at the training center. Talent like that should be given more important positions."
"The training center is indeed a bit undersized. It's easier to manage with fewer people and less work. We can just send another one from the bureau."
Secretary Tang finally understood that Liuhu Town had too many people and too much to do, making it difficult to manage, and that ordinary people were not qualified to be promoted to the top position, so he was thinking about joining the training center.
When the idea of building a training center was first proposed, not many people were interested and made excuses. Only then did Zhuang Qixiang, who was willing to do the work, come to the rescue.
Now that the center has been established, the cultivation of wood ear mushrooms in the entire county and even other counties will rely on the center, and the center has become a hot commodity again.
Secretary Tang couldn't help but glance at Qu Mingli, but found that Qu Mingli had been listening with a smile, and didn't seem to care. He couldn't help but think about it in his heart.
Since there was no way to come to a conclusion on this matter in a short while, he simply adjourned the meeting. Afterwards, he walked over to Qu Mingli with his hands behind his back and asked, "The training center may be managed by a new person. Don't you have any ideas?"
Frequent changes of leadership are not a good thing, especially since Qu Mingli has transferred all the staff from Jinchuan Forest Farm here. It is obvious that he cares a lot about this training center.
Qu Mingli just smiled and said, "If we want to transfer people, we have to ask Manager Zhuang's opinion first. It won't be too late to have any ideas after the matter is settled."
He was doing things slowly and steadily. Secretary Tang nodded and said nothing more. He quickly asked Zhuang Qixiang to come to the bureau to discuss the matter.
"Let me be the secretary of Liuhu Town?" Zhuang Qixiang was very surprised. After all, he was a section chief in the bureau before, and it had been less than two years since he was transferred to the training center.
Secretary Tang didn't hide it from him and told him the whole story, "Someone in the bureau suggested that you might be suitable. I wanted to ask for your opinion."
In fact, Secretary Tang was a little suspicious that Qu Mingli was so calm because he thought Zhuang Qixiang would refuse. After all, this person was quite responsible.
The training center has only been built for two years and cannot be said to be completely on track. He may not be willing to hand it over to others.
But if I refuse this time, it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future. There is not always a town forestry bureau like this waiting for people to come to the rescue.
Secretary Tang waited to see what Zhuang Qixiang would choose, but Zhuang Qixiang remained silent for a while, then suddenly asked him, "If I leave, can you recommend Yan Xue to be the manager?"
Secretary Tang was taken aback, but Zhuang Qixiang had considered it carefully. "Xiao Yan is very capable. She was in charge of the pilot project at Jinchuan Forest Farm before. She will definitely have no problem managing a breeding center."
On the contrary, he has been working in the bureau and is good at dealing with the affairs of the bureau. However, as the head of the training center, he is a little lacking in technology and flexibility.
He told Secretary Tang, "The training center's work is highly technical, and the people in the bureau definitely don't have her expertise. If she were to go and give blind orders, it would greatly affect the progress of the work."
Now Secretary Tang was finally sure that Xiaozhuang was indeed recommending Yan Xue. Such an old-fashioned man was actually recommending a female comrade who was only in her early twenties.
He couldn't help but ponder for a moment. No matter how he looked at her, she didn't seem unconscious. He also found it hard to believe. "Is Yan Xue really that capable?"
"He's certainly capable." Zhuang Qixiang nodded seriously. "He's also very flexible and thoughtful. He's a rare talent."
This is absolutely a rare evaluation. He even gave an example, "Before, the center had no way to open up the market. It was her idea of inviting people to visit and provide guidance that brought in the first order."
That's indeed a good idea. Secretary Tang nodded, and then suddenly came to his senses. Qu Mingli was so calm, could he have guessed it a long time ago?
When I asked Qu Mingli about it later, she didn't admit it. "I just felt that with Comrade Yan Xue's ability, she could handle it even if she had a different leader."
If Qu Mingli also pushed Yan Xue, Secretary Tang might have to suspect whether they had colluded with each other in advance.
Secretary Tang was indeed a little curious after hearing what he said. "Xiao Zhuang said that she was in charge of the Jinchuan pilot project before?"
This time, Qu Mingli did not deny it. "Yes, and from the establishment of the pilot project to the promotion throughout Chengshui, and then to the establishment of the cultivation center, it was all her idea."
Qu Mingli still had the plan written by Yan Xue before. He went back and found it and gave it to Secretary Tang. After reading it, Secretary Tang didn't say anything for a long time.
A few days later, Zhuang Qixiang received the transfer order to the secretary of the Liuhu Town Forestry Bureau, which was within the expectations of many people in the bureau.
Next it was a matter of seeing who could be transferred to the training center. Everyone waited and waited, and after waiting for more than half a month, there was no movement.
This made people a little puzzled. Deputy Director An even privately asked Secretary Tang about this matter: "What's the matter? Are there no good candidates?"
Secretary Tang knew at a glance that he was trying to recommend him, so he shook his head and said, "Not really. There are so many people who want to go, and I don't know who to choose."
Anyway, he doesn't want to choose any of those who are active now, as many of them were the ones who pushed for this matter in the first place.
It just so happens that the center is a small unit, and there will be someone to take care of it even if we don’t choose one. We can just wait and see, so as to avoid hastily replacing someone and causing something to happen that will delay the cultivation of wood ear mushrooms next year.
The matter was delayed, and Yan Xue temporarily took over the manager's job and moved to the manager's office to work so that she could make and receive phone calls more conveniently.
Once, she ran into Qu Mingli on the road, and Qu Mingli asked her with a smile: "How are you? Can you hold on?"
Obviously, he was saying that there was no leader above him, so Yan Xue just smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm just a deputy anyway, and some things are hard to decide."
He is really cunning. As long as things are difficult to handle, he can say that he is a deputy and has no right to make decisions.
When Huang Fengying came to the center and saw her in the manager's office, she was surprised, "Xiao Yan was promoted to manager so quickly?"
"How can that be? Our manager has been transferred, and the new one hasn't been assigned yet. I'll just hold on for a few more days."
Yan Xue smiled. Seeing her carrying a lot of bags, she helped to take them. "Are you here to see Wen Hui again?"
Liu Weiguo is in sales and is not at home for several months a year. Huang Fengying is worried about her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, so she comes to check on them every now and then.
"Aren't the beans and eggplants ready?" Huang Fengying brought a lot of vegetables, not only for Zhou Wenhui, but also for Yan Xue.
As she was dividing the vegetables, she continued, "Originally, Chunni wanted to come with me. Her father found her a job at the school, and she signed up for it. The vegetables have already been picked, but they can't be left alone."
The Liu family's second daughter, Liu Chunni, started school early and graduated from high school this year. When Yan Xue heard about this, she immediately asked, "Chunni is going to be a teacher?"
Huang Fengying nodded. "What else can we let her do? She's not as capable as Chuncai, and she just loves to hold a book all day. It would be perfect for her to be a teacher."
Liu Chunni is well-behaved and quiet, and is good at studying. She is indeed suitable to be a teacher in school. Being a teacher in school will also make it convenient for her to review in the future.
The college entrance examination will be resumed in three years. She will be only 20 years old then and is definitely eligible to take the exam.
When Yan Xue first came, she was only twelve or thirteen years old. Yan Xue said with some emotion, "Time flies so fast. Chunni has already graduated from high school in the blink of an eye."
"How old are you? You're saying these things? We old guys haven't said anything yet." Huang Fengying couldn't help but smile and scolded her.
Yan Xue laughed when she heard this. "You're not old at all. When you were trying to get Airong home for dinner, you ran faster than Wen Hui."
Huang Fengying laughed and quickly took out a letter from her pocket. "This is for you. I saw it was mailed to the forest farm, so I brought it to you."
"Mailed to the forest farm?" Yan Xue was a little surprised. After all, after moving to the county, she wrote a letter to inform the new address whenever she could have correspondence.
But after receiving it, she was no longer surprised. Looking at the address, it was obvious that the letter was written by the Xue family.
But it has been more than three years since Xue Yongkang came to see her. Why would the Xue family write to her again?
It can't be that her third uncle said it was impossible three years ago, but three years later he is still stubborn and wants to persuade her to be with Qi Fang, right?
Yan Xue suppressed her doubts and thanked Huang Fengying first. When she got home from work, she opened it casually and found that it was a pick-up slip.
She was familiar with this thing, but because she was familiar with it, she was even more confused. Qi Fang saw it and asked, "Did someone send you something?"
"It was sent by the Xue family." Yan Xue showed him the envelope. "I don't know why they would send me something when they have nothing better to do."
Hearing that it was from the Xue family, Qi Fang frowned and looked at Yan Xue: "Do you want to go get it?"
"Go ahead and get it." Yan Xue thought for a moment and said, "In order to avoid having no one to pick it up, just return it and they can find someone to deliver it to me."
She really didn't want to have anything to do with that family. She wanted to avoid seeing them if possible, and she also didn't want them to know her new address.
Qi Fang said "hmm" after hearing this, "Give me the order, I'll find time to go back to Chengshui to pick it up for you."
The item was brought back within two days. It was a small box about one foot square. It looked quite old and had carvings on the surface.
Yan Xue was stunned when she saw it. She rubbed the brass lock with her fingers before slowly opening it.
There weren't many things inside, just a few pieces of silver jewelry, two strings of jade beads, and some toys for children.
Yan Xue looked at her without saying anything, but Qi Fang noticed her expression and asked, "Did you wear it when you were a child?"
"Yes, it's my mother's dowry. When my mother wanted to take me away, the Xue family didn't let her take it."
At that time, there were not many people left in Yan Ma's family. If she wanted to leave that den of wolves, she could only give up some unimportant personal belongings.
I just didn't expect that after more than ten years, the Xue family would actually mail the things to her. I don't know if it's like what Xue Yongkang said, they don't want to let outsiders get the advantage.
Yan Xue picked up a pair of small silver bracelets and listened to the tinkling sound of the bells. "It's a pity that Jigang and Yanyu are already grown up, otherwise I could give them some."
He picked up a longevity lock and said, "When I was little, it was so heavy to wear around my neck that I didn't dare wear it openly. I only wore it during the Chinese New Year when I visited relatives."
Compared with her previous life, Yan's mother gave her a lot of love in this life, but unfortunately she passed away early, leaving her with only Jigang to depend on.
Yan Xue lowered her eyes and smiled nostalgically, watching Qi Fang take the longevity lock from her hand, study it for a while, and help her put it on.
"This is for children." Yan Xue found it funny and quickly hid back, covering her neck.
Qi Fang held her down and put it on her, then adjusted it seriously, "It's a pity it's more than ten years too late."
Yan Xue met his gaze and realized that he should have said that he met her more than ten years too late and did not see her as a child.
"At that time, we were thousands of miles apart." She laughed, quickly took off the longevity lock, and called Yan Jigang, "Jigang, come here."
Yan Jigang was playing with his little nephew in the yard. He ran in when he heard the words, his face flushed and beads of sweat on his forehead.
Yan Xue first wiped his face with a handkerchief before helping him put on the longevity lock. She found it even stranger than when she put it on her own neck.
Yan Jigang himself felt it was strange, but since his sister wanted him to wear it, he couldn't refuse, so he just asked, "What is this?"
"The longevity locket in my mother's dowry was also worn by my sister when she was a child, but you are the only one who didn't wear it." Yan Xue said.
Yan Jigang was stunned at the time, not knowing whether to let go of the longevity lock. "Is it from my mother?"
He was only six years old when his mother passed away, and he doesn't really have much memory of her. His sister, however, has been with him for more than a decade.
Seeing his expression, Yan Xue pulled him to the box and said, "These were all my mother's dowry. It's a pity that I couldn't take them away with me. I couldn't let you wear them when you were a child."
Yan Jigang looked at her, but still had no idea what she was like. After thinking about it for a long time, he could only come up with a gentle image similar to Yan Xue.
At this time, the little fat boy called him in the yard: "Uncle! Uncle, uncle!" He was obviously anxious because he saw that he had been away for a long time.
He responded and was about to go out, but he felt the weight on his neck. He wanted to take it off before leaving, but then he thought about it and went to the yard with it.
Soon the fat boy's voice came from the yard, "Uncle, what's wrong with you? My neck is so heavy."
Then Yan Jigang explained, "These are things left by my grandma. Grandma is my mother and uncle's mother."
"Oh, what's grandma's name?"
Poor little fat boy, he has developed a conditioned reflex because of his father's teaching.
Wearing these things in this era is still a bit sensitive, so Yan Xue quickly locked the things and put them in the cabinet.
On the other hand, at the training center, Zhuang Qixiang, who had just been transferred there less than a month ago, came back.
Of course, he was not transferred back to be a manager, but as the secretary of the Liuhu Town Forestry Bureau, he came to buy mushroom strains on behalf of the Liuhu Town Forestry Bureau.
They had previously said that it would never be sold to Liuhu Town, but now they wanted the center to make an exception. As soon as Zhuang Qixiang came in and sat down, he paused.
Yan Xue smiled. "Since you're back to take care of our training center's business this time, you should at least buy more, right?"
He neither mentioned the three-year restriction signed previously nor mentioned that it was because he made an exception. Instead, he said that he came back to take care of the business, which immediately made him feel a lot more relaxed.
Zhuang Qixiang smiled slightly, "Of course we have to buy more. Our bureau plans to order 10,000 bottles. Just pay the deposit directly."
This is definitely a big deal. Before, Secretary Hu only wanted to order 5,000 and was stingy and unwilling to pay.
The Liuhu Town Forestry Bureau is also helpless. Donggou Town has been doing it for two years. If they are still conservative and only order 5,000, when will they catch up?
Fortunately, he is not the original Secretary Hu. He continued the previous Chengshui model and let each forestry farm do it themselves, so the money does not have to be paid entirely by the bureau.
Otherwise, they would have to build a base and buy fungus strains, and the funds of the Liuhu Town Forestry Bureau would really be stretched.
It was also thanks to Zhuang Qixiang's willingness to make this trip in person. If it were anyone else in the supply department, they wouldn't be sure if they could successfully buy it.
Both parties quickly signed the order, paid the money, and affixed the official seal. Yan Xue even smiled and asked Zhuang Qixiang about his work: "Is everything going well?"
In fact, it is not that easy to get started. After all, you have to manage several forest farms, and the number of employees is not comparable to that of the training center. If you don’t manage it well, you may be fired like the previous one.
But Zhuang Qixiang was sent by the county bureau after all, and they still had to rely on him to buy the mushroom strains, so the subordinates still gave him face for the time being.
He was about to say something when the phone rang. Yan Xue could only apologize to him and go to answer the phone first.
Then, the young girl raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "You don't need so many strains next year. Are you going to reduce the number by 5,000 bottles?"
Zhuang Qixiang looked over immediately and asked, "Which town is this? What happened?"
