I frowned slightly, a trace of confusion on my face, and asked, "County Magistrate Tong, what do you mean by this? I don't quite understand. Can you tell me in detail?"
Tong Yazhou leaned back in his chair, tapping rhythmically on the desk with his right fingertips, and said calmly: "Comrade Hongjun, if you are already a member of the county party committee and deputy county magistrate, the work on the government side is complicated and the task is not easy. Even if you are full of energy, I am afraid it will be a bit beyond your ability to take care of both government work and development zone work at the same time. In order to further strengthen the management of the development zone and promote its better development, Secretary Liu and I have discussed in depth and plan to transfer Comrade Zhang Weiguo to the development zone management committee as deputy director and let him be responsible for the daily affairs of the development zone. In this way, you can control the development direction of the development zone from a more macro level and devote more energy to the overall work of the county."
Hearing this, my heart suddenly tightened, and I blurted out almost without thinking: "Does Secretary Liu agree with this idea?" As soon as I said this, I realized my abruptness. It sounded as if I didn't take him, the county magistrate, seriously.
Sure enough, when Tong Yazhou heard my question, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face, and he looked at me with a slightly reproachful look: "This was Secretary Liu's proposal. How could he not agree?"
I secretly regretted it and realized that I had spoken out of turn. I had doubts in my heart about what he said, that this was Liu Keji's idea, and I didn't dare to completely believe it. I calmed down and tried to express my opinion from another angle: "Comrade Zhang Weiguo is currently the Party Secretary of Tongxiang Town. He was directly transferred to the Development Zone as the deputy director. From the perspective of his position level, isn't it a bit unfair to him? After all, he is also the top leader of the township."
Tong Yazhou smiled coldly, his tone unquestionable: "The development zone is currently preparing to be upgraded to a provincial development zone. Once successful, the standards will also be upgraded. By then, it will not be too much for a section-level cadre to serve as the deputy director of the development zone. How can it be said to be wronged?"
I then asked: "So, County Mayor Tong, you agree to the upgrading of the development zone?" I looked into his eyes, trying to get more information from him.
Tong Yazhou lowered his head, picked up a gold pen on the table, fiddled with it gently with his hand, focused his eyes on the pen in his hand, and said slowly: "Comrade Hongjun, now that you are in a county-level leadership position, you must further broaden the pattern of looking at problems, and can no longer be limited to the way of thinking when you were in the functional department in the past. The upgrading of the development zone is not something that the county can decide unilaterally. Without the strong support of the county, it cannot be achieved at all. If you can link the upgrading of the development zone with Zhang Weiguo's appointment to the development zone, your vision and ideas will be completely different. To be honest, this is exactly why I admire Secretary Liu. He can always stand at the height of the overall situation, like a skilled chess player, planning and controlling the overall situation." His words vaguely revealed that in this chess game of personnel and development zone development planning, he and I are just chess pieces on the board, acting according to the established layout.
After saying that, he began to put away the documents on the desk in an orderly manner, his movements were skillful and quick. When I saw this, I immediately understood that he was hinting at sending the guests away. I stood up tactfully and said politely, "County Magistrate Tong, since there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
I bowed slightly to show my respect. Tong Yazhou didn't even raise his head, but just nodded slightly, indicating that I could leave.
I had just stepped into my office and hadn't had time to sit down when Xu Shaojia hurried in and said anxiously, "Hongjun, your sister just called and told me to go to Secretary Liu's office as soon as possible. It seems she has something urgent to talk to you about."
A trace of doubt surged in my heart, and I asked subconsciously: "Sister, do you know why you called me over so urgently?"
Xu Shaojia said: "As the director of the government office, I don't dare to ask about the affairs of the county party committee." He spread his hands, looking helpless.
The corners of my mouth slightly raised, and I joked: "Hey, sister, my sister is keeping it a secret from you? In your family, is she also so clear about the distinction between public and private affairs?"
Xu Shaojia sighed with a wry smile and said, "Whether in a work setting or at home, she is my leader. How dare I be vague about this?" As he spoke, he shrugged helplessly.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud, and teased, "With a caring 'Grand Chamberlain' like you, my sister is living a worry-free and comfortable life today."
I patted his shoulder with a smile on my face. Xu Shaojia pretended to be angry, gently slapped my hand away, and urged: "Don't make fun of your sister. Go quickly, Secretary Liu and your sister are probably waiting in the office, don't keep them waiting for long." As he spoke, he made a gesture to the door to invite them in.
I came out of the county government office building in a hurry, and not far away I stepped into the county party committee office building. When we arrived at Liu Keji's office, his secretary was as respectful as ever. He bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Standing Committee Member Guan! Secretary Liu is waiting for you. Please come in." After that, the secretary gently pushed open the office door.
I walked in and was about to say hello to Liu Keji and Wang Yanshu, but I saw there was another person in the office. He quickly stood up and greeted me with a smile on his face. I took a closer look and was immediately surprised and delighted. I couldn't help but shout out, "Brother Kuang, it's really you! You're back!"
The person in front of him was none other than Kuang Tieying, who had returned from aiding Xinjiang. After meeting again after a long separation, we were so excited that we couldn't help but hug each other tightly.
Wang Yanshu smiled and reminded him, "Xiaoguan County Magistrate, this is an office setting, it is more appropriate to address you by title or comrade. You, why can't you change your casual underworld habits?"
Liu Keji leaned against the sofa, smiled and waved his hand: "Today we are behind closed doors, we are all family, there is no need to be too restrained, call me whatever you want. You two come and sit down, and have a good chat."
Kuang Tieying and I sat on the sofa. Kuang Tieying said with emotion: "I have been back for a while. During this period, I have been busy dealing with personal matters at home and have not had time to go back to the county to meet everyone. To be honest, I have been thinking about you all in my heart." As he spoke, he looked around, his eyes full of nostalgia.
