I left and called him.
He said, "Mayor Guan, you won't even give me a chance to eat a meal in peace. Tell me, what are your instructions?"
I asked him who from the Organization Department would be assigned to be our county chief.
He laughed and cursed into the microphone: "Is this something that a idiot mayor like you should know? But considering your diligence and hard work, I might as well tell you. The new mayor is Zhang Xiaodong. Do you know him?"
I didn't react for a moment, and then I heard him laugh triumphantly. Of course, he was proud of the fact that he had tricked me so much that my brain crashed.
After I calmed down, I said angrily, "County Governor Zhang, I thought you were helping your brother by helping me contact Mr. Lin. It turns out you were planning for yourself, and you made a stupid ass like me run errands for you, and then you have to say thank you!"
He laughed even more recklessly, and I hung up the phone angrily.
My father-in-law looked at me with a puzzled look.
I reported everything to him truthfully.
After hearing this, he patted the back of my hand gently, gave me a kiss that only elders can give me, and said, "Qingwan was not wrong about you."
Zhu Qingwan looked at me with relief and admiration in her eyes, with a hint of love in her eyes. I knew that I was doomed tonight.
I had no time to appreciate the family warmth, and I had no time to digest the news Zhang Xiaodong brought me. I needed my father-in-law to give me some advice. I wanted to establish a relationship with the director of the county coal bureau to solve the imminent problem.
I told my father-in-law about my thoughts, and he pointed upstairs and said, "The director of the Coal Bureau and President Xu upstairs are colleagues at the university, and their relationship is very close."
No matter how hard you try, you still can't find it, but when you get it, it's all for free.
When people walk in a straight line, even those who are in a hurry will carry their sedan chairs.
I decided to go all out and went straight to Wang Yanshu's house to kill him.
I explained the whole story to the couple, picking out the key details.
Finally, he threatened: "If this matter is not properly resolved and General Manager Lin is offended, the tens of millions of dollars invested by the Economic Development Zone will be wasted."
I have to use their strength to make them feel more urgent.
Principal Xu pointed at my nose and said, "Guan Hongjun, you are a low-ranking official, but you have learned a lot of bad habits. Now you dare to attack the old leader."
I was a little tipsy and said shamelessly, "Who told me that I am your uncle now? Do you dare not help me?"
I turned around and asked Wang Yanshu, "Is that right, sister?"
She grabbed the TV remote and threw it over to me, scolding me harshly, "I don't have a disobedient and unlucky brother like you!"
Whether he was beaten or scolded, Xu Shaojia still obediently called Director Wang of the Coal Bureau.
Director Wang asked me to have a face-to-face interview tomorrow.
The next morning I went to meet Director Wang of the County Coal Bureau as scheduled. Thanks to his relationship with Xu Shaojia, he seemed very enthusiastic.
After the greetings, I stated my purpose.
He frowned and said in embarrassment, "Zhenzhang, I can't hide the truth. I really don't want to get involved in this mess. You know that the top two leaders of the Municipal Coal Bureau have their hands in all the coal mines in our county, either taking money to do things or buying shares. But this boss Zhang is ignorant and goes against them. It would be strange if he is not targeted."
He turned out to be a very straightforward person. He did not try to hide anything in front of me, but went straight to the point.
I was worried that he was afraid of power and would not help, so I decided to use provocation to provoke him and said bluntly: "If Director Wang is afraid, then just pretend that I have never been here today."
After hearing what I said, he was obviously a little angry. He slammed the table and said, "Who said I was afraid of them? Apart from being led by them in business, my relocation has nothing to do with them. I am a peacemaker among them, helping them solve their problems. I will take this matter!"
Just like that, I untied the first button for Mr. Zhang from Taixiang Coal Mine.
Next, I will focus all my energy on connecting with Lin Mushroom to speed up the implementation of investment intentions.
Before the end of the year, the personnel adjustments in all bureaus, offices, townships and towns across the county were finally settled.
Xu Taizhen got his wish and became the vice chairman of the County Association.
As expected, Tian Zhenyu succeeded him as secretary of the town party committee.
The newly transferred town mayor is Zhang Weiguo, the former secretary of the former county party secretary and deputy director of the county party office.
The former county magistrate Liu Keji was appointed as the county party secretary, and the vacancy of the county magistrate was filled by Zhang Xiaodong.
He will take office after the new year, so Lin Xun and I discussed holding the investment signing ceremony between Daxun Company and the county government after Zhang Xiaodong takes office.
This is the highlight moment that everyone in the officialdom scrambles for, and of course I want him to enjoy it as soon as he takes office. After all, it is his credit that attracted this investment.
Before the factory building in the Economic Development Zone was built, Liu Yun, the investor manager of Daxun Company, temporarily rented a room in the county government guesthouse.
Although she was a veteran who had worked in the business world for many years, it was her first time to manage and operate a factory, so she was inevitably overwhelmed. Therefore, she simply threw many specific matters to me. The most critical point was that I helped her to recruit a manager with management experience and business proficiency.
I called Lao Wu. He has worked as a grassroots manager in a large enterprise since graduation and is now a middle-level manager. His ability should be more than enough to assist Liu Yun, and more importantly, I believe in his character.
He did not care too much about the salary, because he saw a platform for him to display his ambitions. But he asked for an assistant to manage the factory in Tongxiang Town.
Brothers fight tigers together, and fathers fight together. As a university graduate from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, I have no shortage of connections in this area, so I recommended Lao Ba to him.
Lao Wu and I hit it off immediately because there was no one more suitable than Lao Ba. Although he started his own business after graduation, he still had a solid background in mechanics, and more importantly, he was very eager for this job.
Just like that, the two best brothers in the university dormitory reunited again.
Liu Yun was very satisfied with my two classmates and gave me full recognition for my courage to help my friends at a critical moment.
After everything was settled, Lao Wu returned to his original unit to handle the resignation procedures, while Lao Ba went back to transfer the Internet cafe. They were just waiting to take office after the New Year and start the battle.
Liu Yunxiao returned to the provincial capital to celebrate the New Year. When she left, she took out 50,000 yuan and handed it to me, repeatedly stating that it was my hard work fee.
Of course I refused. Although I was short of money, I still had a bottom line. I knew what money I could take with peace of mind, and what money would be a pain in the ass.
During festivals, it was common to show favor to leaders and to curry favor with them. Mr. Zhang from Taixiang Coal Mine was no exception. He sneaked into my office with a bulging gift bag, but I sternly refused.
I don't want to be hit by these sugar-coated bullets and fail just when I am about to take off in my career.
It was later proved that in the officialdom surrounded by powerful enemies, any carelessness would bring about disastrous consequences.
