It was so cold in the twelfth lunar month. It was past nine o'clock under the old eaves of the county party committee compound, and there were still long icicles hanging.

Unlike Norijiang Province, Xijiang Province is located in the inland area. It is particularly cold and freezing in winter. The small conference room of the county party committee compound does not have air conditioning. The last meeting of the Standing Committee before the Spring Festival was moved to the office of the top leader Chang Ning.

Because it was the end of the year, the meeting had a lot of content. Looking at the meeting agenda issued by Li Xiaolun, the director of the county party committee office, he would definitely not be able to get it in one afternoon, especially Chang Ning's working method, which directly democratized the right to speak and handed over the topics to the Standing Committee members. These ten people were better than talking, and it was natural to have many topics.

The fat man Zhang Fulin was also "invited" to come over. After a few days, he seemed to have gained a lot of weight again. He couldn't sit on the plastic rattan chair. Amid everyone's laughter, he sat helplessly on the wooden bench at the door.

The space in the office is too small. Except for Chang Ning and Li Xiaolun, who was in charge of the record, they sat on both sides of the desk, and the others were sitting against the wall, with a casual posture, and were not as upright as in previous meetings.

Chang Ning contributed a cigarette and threw a pack of it to each man, and the office immediately filled with smoke.

"Comrades, we started. Today is the 11th day of the twelfth lunar month. This Standing Committee meeting should be the last meeting this year. I still say the same thing, each person has two topics. It's good to have less, and don't have more. Let's talk about the New Year's affairs. Let's clarify the matters of the old year first and let everyone have a happy Spring Festival."

Chang Ning was the only one who took the initiative. Now he gradually found the feeling of hosting the meeting, and seemed to be relaxed and calm.

"I have two issues, just put them on the beginning and end. Let's talk about the beginning... Regarding Comrade Wu Guilong's punishment, I hope everyone will work together to put down their burdens before they can make progress. This is not only of Comrade Wu Guilong, but also of us."

The office immediately became silent, and Wu Guilong also stood up reflexively. In a few days, he lost weight, as if his body had moved to Zhang Fulin next to him.

"I always remember, comrades, I will not say anything. I will accept any punishment for me. Please supervise my future performance..."

Chang Ning waved his hand and signaled Wu Guilong to sit down.

"I, I'll say a few words first."

Unexpectedly, the first person to ask for a speech was Zhang Fulin, who rarely attended the Standing Committee meeting.

"Comrade Fulin, please tell me." Chang Ning said with a smile while smoking.

Zhang Fulin moved his fat body and squinted his eyes and said, "I always remember, all the members of the Standing Committee, I personally think that Lao Wu's problem is not a problem at all."

Lin Zhengdao was stunned when he heard this. Fatty Zhang had always had only ears and no mouths in the meeting. It was a bit abnormal to be so active today.

"There are eleven people here. I admit that I don't understand the common memory, so I will talk about ten people, including me. We all ask ourselves, and we didn't jump out of the cracks of the stone. We have worked together for many years and know each other well. Don't pretend to be correct. If you want to talk about problems, I dare not make arbitrary judgments. But when it comes to mistakes, no one has a few baskets of people. I won't talk about others, just talk about myself. There are several warnings within the party alone... Lao Guo, fuck, you know the best about my background, how many are there?"

Guo Qiuping laughed and said, "Fatty, I'm so full. How can I remember how many warnings you have? Anyway, I have several of them."

Zhang Fulin continued: "Anyway, if the outline and organization is not magnanimous, I, Zhang Fulin, would have gone home long ago... Do you still remember the major flood five years ago? Because we were careless and failed to provide disaster relief, we won a collective prize. Who can't be warned? To be honest, if you want to talk about problems, everyone has problems. If you say it's not a problem, then Lao Wu's little troubles now cannot be considered a problem at all. They were all born by his parents. Who dares to say that his butt is clean?"

Lin Zhengdao listened at the same time, staring at Chang Ning through the smoke. Zhang Fulin was in a mess, not aimless. Without Chang Ning's instructions, how could he have wade into this muddy water?

"Of course, Lao Wu made a mistake this time, and the nature is extremely serious. I advocate dealing with it seriously and not giving him lightly. My speech is over."

After Zhang Fulin finished speaking, the meeting was a cold incident. Not only did Lin Zhengdao see the reputation, but Mo Chunyi also saw the signs. Even Sun Zhengbang, who had always been slow to see the wind.

Although Zhang Fulin is a person who calls himself a useless person, he doesn't speak, but he is very effective as soon as he speaks. He basically has the same tone and direction.

Li Xiaolun, who was busy making records, added just right, "Director Zhang is right, Lao Wu's mistake is serious and must be dealt with seriously."

Lin Zhengdao looked at Chang Ning and smiled and said, "Chang Ji, you, the leader of the big squad, have an idea."

Chang Ning smiled slightly, but did not speak up. The highlight of the punishment of Wu Guilong was drawn at the beginning of the meeting. He was a small calculation in his stomach. He was afraid of problems. He knew that everyone here had their own little ones, and he had two proposals in his arms, one was formalism, serving the people and doing routines, and the other was definitely planning for his department and subordinates. If he wanted to pass it in the Standing Committee, he had to look at the wink of the top leader.

Putting Wu Guilong’s matter before discussing it is to see everyone’s performance. Whoever dares to disagree with the top leader will not be able to pass your proposal.

As Lin Zhengdao guessed, in order to make a quick battle and decide, Chang Ning deliberately used "waste" to communicate with Zhang Fulin on the phone. Since Chang Ning and Zhang Xiaoming, the Organization Minister of the Prefectural Committee, had a secret conversation, his relationship with Zhang Fulin was also on a "honeymoon". Zhang Fulin had a good impression of Wu Guilong, so the two hit it off. So as soon as Chang Ning spoke, Zhang Fulin played the role of pioneer and set the tone for Wu Guilong's affairs.

"Comrade Qiuping, this kind of tailoring thing should be the business of your Discipline Inspection Commission. I dare not interfere with it."

Chang Ning looked at Guo Qiuping and smiled, making Guo Qiuping dizzy. Chang Ning was holding his army. Aren’t you very close to Wu Guilong? Then let you get a knife to see if you can cut it down.

"I always remember, comrades, I suggest that Comrade Wu Guilong be given a serious warning within the party, and at the same time...the whole county will be criticized."

Guo Qiuping gritted his teeth and said the last four words. He is an expert and knows the role of disciplinary punishment. For example, such as warning punishment, it is just formalism. However, it is extremely lethal, and there are many mysteries in it. Communicating Wu Guilong's mistakes in the form of a red-headed document will definitely make his image plummet. Without three to five years of hard work, it is difficult to hold his head upright and hold his chest up straight.

But Guo Qiuping had no choice. This was the proposal of the regional discipline inspection commission. He could only make it clear and pray that the punishment for the criticism of the news was removed. Otherwise, Wu Guilong would have been in a difficult position in the future.

Unexpectedly, before Chang Ning could speak, someone rushed to speak again.

This time it was the United Front Minister Jiang Baolong.

"Old Guo, your two points are very pertinent, I completely agree."

Jiang Baolong rarely speaks first. Once he speaks, he is not light, and he often comes prepared and has sufficient support.

Sure enough, Mo Chunyi followed closely, and Liu Yutao followed one after another. Both female generals of the Yang family agreed with Guo Qiulai's opinion, which made Guo Qiuping complain in his heart. This was obviously the opinion of the regional discipline inspection commission, but it was my opinion. These two stinky ladies were pushing me, Guo Qiuping into the fire pit in different ways. Old Wu was listening next to him, how could he feel?

Li Xiaolun always grasped the timing of speaking just right, and said without raising his head: "I agree with Guo Ji's opinion."

Lin Zhengdao understood, and everyone pushed him. With the first five people exerting their strength, why not add this kick to me? "I always remember that Comrade Qiuping's opinions are very pertinent. This way, it is very fair to Comrade Guilong. I agree with Comrade Qiuping's opinions."

Chang Ning nodded slightly, feeling very proud of the scene he directed. Turning bad things into good things is the basic skill of the top leader and the trick he is good at. Isn’t you Wu Guilong very basic in the public security system? I will shine you in the sun to see how many people can follow you. Aren’t you resistant to Shi Linfeng’s military-transferred cadre resettlement work? I will knock you hard to see how much ability you have to defend your independent kingdom. No wonder others, you asked for it, you accidentally exposed your flaws.

There is also Guo Qiuping. Don’t you want to take the opportunity to win over Wu Guilong? This is a knock. The criticism of the notice is said from your mouth. It is certain and difficult to take it back. As long as I fully utilize the power of the notice and criticism, it depends on what you will use to cooperate with Wu Guilong in the future.

Guo Qiuping's proposal was unanimously approved.

...

This county standing committee meeting will not end until after 2:30 pm.

Only Chang Ning and Wu Guilong were left in the office, as well as cigarette butts on the ground and smoke in the room.

"Remember, I...I'm sorry to you, I, I have let you down on your expectations of me..."

Chang Ning waved his hand, "Guilong, you know your problem yourself. To be honest, I also know. Everyone knows it. I will make a few requests."

"Remember often, please tell me."

"You are not allowed to carry your baggage. You must continue to work hard, but you cannot fall into the same pit again. People cannot always have so much luck. Secondly, after the New Year, you will move to the county party committee compound to work, and your focus of your work should be transferred to the Political and Legal Committee, arresting all the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments, and being in vain as the main and pragmatic as the auxiliary... let Ma Yingtang take the lead in the public security bureau."

"Remember often, thank you, I remember."
