Chapter 175 Temporary Alliance (2)

Hou Yikun's career was bumpy, but it was not completely frustrated. God was fair. Hou Yikun's family was good. His wife Liu Yuanyin was very virtuous. Although she looked average, Liu Yuanyin taught in the county's experimental middle school. Because Hou Yikun had no ability, Liu Yuanyin's teaching task was heavy. He took the class teacher and had to take two classes of mathematics. He got up early and went to bed late. However, Liu Yuanyin never complained about Hou Yikun, tutoring children and doing housework. He often advised Hou Yikun to be more open-minded. He had been married to Hou Yikun for 8 years and was in harmony with each other. It was precisely because of this that Hou Yikun was able to survive those painful days.

When Hou Yikun went home, there were already many kinds of things. Hou Yikun rarely ate outside. Even if he had dinner, he would ask someone to bring a letter to Liu Yuanyin, saying that he would not go home for dinner and did not go home today. Liu Yuanyin didn't know what the situation was, and had been waiting at home. Seeing Hou Yikun coming home with a drunken look on his face, Liu Yuanyin was a little unhappy.

"Wife, I'm having lunch outside at noon, so I didn't have time to tell you, I'm sorry."

"Who invited you to dinner and even drank? Is there anything good to see you look so happy?"

Liu Yuanyin was still a little disappointed. If her husband was glorious, she could benefit from it. However, such a thing cannot be forced. Her mother taught Liu Yuanyin since she was a child and married a chicken and followed the dog. Therefore, Liu Yuanyin cared for Hou Yikun wholeheartedly and advised Hou Yikun to take it easy from time to time. This is already the case, don’t think too much.

"Wife, my job has been adjusted."

"Oh, where have you adjusted? Have you left the government office? You should stop working in the government office. Now, you are almost the oldest cadre."

"I still work in the government office and I became County Mayor Xu's secretary."

"Husband, are you drinking too much? Are you talking nonsense?"

"What I said is true. I am now the secretary of County Mayor Xu. You don't know that County Mayor Xu is only 25 years old and is the county magistrate."

Liu Yuanyin couldn't believe it.

"Husband, County Mayor Xu is only 25 years old. He is too young. Are you married?"

“Not yet, as far as I know, not yet.”

"Husband, you have to do it well. The opportunity is rare. You are not young anymore and are so much older than Governor Xu. Look at Governor Xu, you have a role model to learn from."

"Wife, I feel ashamed when you say this. Even if I ride a rocket in my life, I can't catch up with County Mayor Xu. I just want to do my job well, cherish this opportunity, and strive for a good future in the future."

"Okay, I'm wrong. You should take a break quickly and wash, and you're covered in alcohol."

"Okay, I'll take a shower and take a break. I'll follow County Mayor Xu to the county party committee in the afternoon. Please remind me that I'll go to the unit at two o'clock."

When he was at work, Hou Yikun had no smell of alcohol on his body, but he found that Xu Shaojie had no smell of alcohol on his body, and there was no sign of alcohol on his face.

When Xu Shaojie entered He Xuxiong's office, Hou Yikun had already walked into Huang Hongrong's office. Huang Hongrong was He Xuxiong's full-time secretary. Although he was the deputy director of the county party committee office, he was not in charge of any work. Huang Hongrong hurriedly made tea for Hou Yikun, and the two lit cigarettes and started chatting.

He Xuxiong had been waiting for Xu Shaojie. When Huang Hongrong reported, He Xuxiong was about to get off work and go home to have a meal. After learning the news, He Xuxiong quickly made a decision not to go home and eat in the county party committee canteen. Don’t see that He Xuxiong is the county party secretary, but rarely eats outside. He will lose more words. He has always been in a special environment. He Xuxiong is unwilling to cause trouble for himself. After a long time, He Xuxiong simply stopped eating outside.

At noon, He Xuxiong kept thinking in the office, thinking about what Xu Shaojie would say. Later, he lay on the sofa and took a short rest.

He Xuxiong's hand and Xu Shaojie's hand were held together. This was their first official handshake. When Xu Shaojie first arrived in Shalong County, the two shook hands once, politely.

"Secretary He, I returned to Shalong County at noon yesterday and should have come to report my work immediately. However, I wanted to understand some of the situation. I talked with County Mayor Long in the afternoon, and exchanged opinions with Secretary Chen and Secretary Li in the evening. This morning, I exchanged opinions with other members of the government team. I roughly learned some of the situation. Today I officially reported to Secretary He to report my work."

"County Magistrate Xu, don't say that. It's not about reporting on work. I should introduce you to the relevant situation in Shalon County. The county party committee should spare no effort to support the government in carrying out its work."

"Secretary He, don't say that. I feel ashamed. You are the county party secretary. I should report to you. The government is carrying out work under the leadership of the county party committee. Don't worry, I will not be vague about the principles."

He Xuxiong never expected that Xu Shaojie would say such things. Chen Dazhi had never said this before. He always said that the government should exercise its power independently. The county party committee could supervise and inspect and cannot directly interfere with the government's work. What Chen Dazhi said makes some sense, but the premise is to adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party. He Xuxiong was a little worried. Could it be that Xu Shaojie said politely or bury some foreshadowing for the future?

"County Magistrate Xu, the situation in Shalong County is a bit special. When you come, I will feel at ease. In the future, you will be bold in carrying out your work and I will fully support and assist you. What development ideas or measures do you think of, boldly implement, and cadres who need adjustments, I will firmly support you if you propose it."

Xu Shaojie smiled. He Xuxiong was an old official, obviously showing his mentality or temptation. Xu Shaojie had different ideas. It is precisely because of the special situation in Shalong County that the county party secretary and county magistrate must unite. If he is intrigue and has a disagreement, the future development of Shalong County will be greatly affected. There is another important reason. Xu Shaojie knew that he was young and too young, and needed to be recognized by his superiors and colleagues. Sometimes, he had to be humble. It was easy to break even if he was not good. If there were bad words from all directions, it was not a good phenomenon.

"Secretary He, I don't understand what you mean. I have already expressed my opinion. Maybe you think I am young and may be excited when I am impulsive. However, I do adhere to the principle. You are the county party secretary and the final decision-maker of Shalon County. During my work, there may be some disagreements with you. However, I will ask your opinions in advance. What you think cannot be implemented or the decisions of the Standing Committee collectively studied. I firmly implement them. I never do something in person or behind the scenes. If you have any opinions and suggestions, I am very likely to argue with you in the office, or even slap the table. I hope you can understand."

He Xuxiong was a little relieved. At least Xu Shaojie made a statement. I will check it out in the future.

"Mr. Xu, I happen to have something to do. I want to discuss it with you. You have been in office for more than a week. I think it is necessary to hold a county party committee standing committee to study the recent work. At the appropriate time, a cadre meeting will be held to unify your thoughts. It is the end of the year. All work is very busy, and Shalon County cannot fall behind."

"I agree, today I have some things to report to Secretary He. Because time is short and I have not fully considered maturity, I briefly report. Shalon County should convey the decision of the Municipal Party Committee on adjusting the industrial structure at the meeting and make corresponding arrangements. There are still a few months left this year. Adjusting the agricultural industrial structure is a major trend. How to use the remaining time to find a way to adjust in line with the actual situation of Shalon County is one of the key points of the next stage. I have initially considered that Shalon County has rich water resources, and developing aquaculture and pigs is a relatively realistic way, and it is also a matter that can be effective in a short period of time. While planning the adjustment of the agricultural structure, the industrial can enrich the county. If we can plan these two things in a short time, or in other words, it will be a very good result. I don't know what Secretary He has to do."

Speaking of work, He Xuxiong has been much more attentive. Over the years, he felt very cowardly that Shalon County has not developed and the annual economic growth rate is not known how it is completed. The average annual income of the people, the fields, family, and even those who have not yet obtained their jobs, are all included, and they barely maintain the growth rate. However, the wages of cadres and employees have been in arrears for a long time, and when they encounter shortage of funds, they don’t know when they can be cashed out. Such a life is really hard.

"I agree with your opinion. You can specifically propose it in the Standing Committee to implement work tasks. At present, you will not propose specific work goals, but just propose work tasks. What do you think."

"I also think so. Secretary Li is in charge of agriculture. The county party committee is asked to be responsible for the adjustment of the agricultural industrial structure. The government is relatively less effective. The adjustment of the industrial industrial structure is done by the government. What I said is a bit abstract. The specific work is that the county government is responsible for attracting investment, building factories in Shalon County and developing industries."

"Okay, I totally agree with you."

He Xuxiong was a little excited. Xu Shaojie was very happy to think of these things. Xu Shaojie's main purpose was to develop Shalon County. In this case, even fighting for power is not a big deal. Shalon County's economic development has made little contributions and the county party secretary is indispensable. This is of course a good thing.

"Nei Mayor Xu, next time we will study, we will do these things well, and a group of capable cadres will need to consider the problems of cadres and the actual situation in Shalong County. I will not hide it from you. The mobility of cadres is too poor, the enthusiasm for work is not high, and the goals are difficult to achieve without the work of cadres."

"Secretary He, I have thought about the issue of cadres. Large-scale adjustments are not realistic. Besides, there is still a while before the work plan is determined, the issue of cadres can be considered. The specific time will be after the beginning of the year. After you said this, I will put forward my own opinions. You are familiar with the situation of Shalon County cadres. Cadre adjustment is also the power of the county party committee. I will only make some adjustment requirements for individual cadres, and in general, they will abide by the opinions of the county party committee."

"Okay, I will consider it. I agree with the opinions you put forward. Secretary Li will focus on agriculture, including adjustments to cadres in some townships and county-level areas. You should worry more about it. Then I will put forward my opinion. There is another thing I want to say, Hou Yikun is your secretary, and it has been clarified. Therefore, I suggest appointing Hou Yikun as the deputy director of the government office. This is a matter of specifications. If your secretary is an ordinary cadre, it is unreasonable."

Xu Shaojie nodded.

"I agree with this matter, thank you Secretary He for your concern."

Xu Shaojie understood that this was a specification issue. The county party secretary and the county magistrate's secretary need to be equal in level. If Hou Yikun cannot solve the identity problem, the outside world will have different views. He Xuxiong can't stand the invisible discussion. Therefore, it seems to be a small matter, but it actually involves a lot. Xu Shaojie also has an idea. If Hou Yikun is devoted to his loyalty, he will not make any sense. As for how Hou Yikun will develop in the future, Xu Shaojie will find a way to pay attention. If an abnormal situation occurs, it will be too late to take measures.

Next, He Xuxiong began to introduce the overall situation of Shalon County, including the existing problems. He Xuxiong said it very thoroughly. Perhaps after he became the county party secretary, he analyzed the problems in this thoroughly for the first time. Through He Xuxiong's introduction, Xu Shaojie deepened his understanding of Shalon County. He Xuxiong said it very principledly and tried not to involve individuals. They all pointed out some phenomena, including the problems of the enterprising spirit of cadres, including the slow pace of economic development, etc. These problems are not small problems, but major issues that the Shalon County Party Committee and County Government will face soon.

"Mr. Xu, I have told you all the information I know today. Today I am very happy. Let's treat you in the afternoon. We have a good drink. I haven't let go of the amount of drinks for a long time."

"Okay, Secretary He treats me, I sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman. However, last night, I don't know how I went back. I can't do this today. Secretary He's men are merciless."

Xu Shaojie was in a good mood. His first meeting with He Xuxiong was obviously successful. What Xu Shaojie needs is this effect. Take your time in the future.

Huang Hongrong is very good at making arrangements. He didn't have a hotel, but he still found a small restaurant. He calculated the money according to the number of people. One private room, 6 people, two leaders, two secretaries, and two drivers. He was well equipped. When drinking, the camp was obvious. Each of them was their leader. Huang Hongrong toasted Xu Shaojie and Hou Yikun to He Xuxiong.

Xu Shaojie was still in a bad state of drinking. After all, He Xuxiong didn't force himself. He Xuxiong knew about yesterday's situation. None of Xu Shaojie, Chen Mei and Li Ming were sober. He Xuxiong was in a good mood. Xu Shaojie made a statement, which means that Chen Mei and Li Ming both made statements. The remaining Hou Yibing was no longer a big problem. Besides, Xu Shaojie was considering doing things and should support it.
