Chapter 80 We all have to live up to him
"Secretary Zhengjie."
"Tie Cai, come, sit down."
Before sitting down, Chen Tiecai quickly observed Cai Zhengjie's expression and saw that he was frowning slightly, so he knew that he was about to say something unpleasant.
Tsai Cheng-chieh has more than a year left in his term.
After this term ends, I guess I'll be transferred to a less demanding department and wait to retire.
Over the past three years of working together, he and Cai Zhengjie had gotten along fairly well.
Cai Zhengjie is a very steady and low-key person. During his years as the municipal party secretary, he never had a falling out with anyone.
It's very rare to see you frowning like this today.
It seems that what the provincial development and reform commission leader said at the meeting just now provoked Cai Zhenjie.
"You called me here because..."
"Tie Cai, I'd like to talk to you about the problems in Yuanshan County."
Chen Tiecai lowered his head slightly, rubbed his hands together and smiled awkwardly. He came from Yuanshan County, and most of the current leadership team in Yuanshan County were promoted by him.
While they claim it's a problem in Yuanshan County, they're actually referring to Chen Tiecai's problem.
"The investigation team has arrived in Yuanshan County."
I just received a text message from Lao Zhao of the Discipline Inspection Commission; Lin Wangyou has been taken away.
I believe there will be a result regarding that post soon.
The publicity departments at both the municipal and county levels are actively responding to this public opinion crisis, and we believe that things will soon pass...
Cai Zhengjie closed his eyes, raised a hand to stop Chen Tiecai from speaking, and took a deep breath: "You know, I'm not talking about Lin Wangyou. If it were a problem in Yuanshan County, it would be easy to handle if it were just about Lin Wangyou."
Chen Tiecai pretended not to understand, scratched his nose, and asked seriously, "Then what you mean is...?"
Cai Zhengjie glanced at him sideways, and seeing that he was pretending to be stupid, he became somewhat displeased and his tone became serious.
"Tie Cai, we've been partners for years and it's always been a very pleasant experience."
I don't want to have any discord with you when I'm about to step down.
I know the situation in Yuanshan County, and you know it even better.
Chen Dawei, who has just arrived, is a capable person. We should give him opportunities and not always try to control him.
That old saying is true.
The government offices remain, but the officials come and go.
Who can stay in this position for a lifetime?
Often, it's important to know when to stop while you're ahead.
"Insatiable desires, if left unchecked, trouble will likely extend beyond just Yuanshan County."
This is a warning to Chen Tiecai. If Zhou Xiangzhang isn't disciplined soon, Chen Tiecai might be the next one to suffer.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tiecai clasped his hands together tightly, pursed his lips, and his expression became serious.
This was the harshest thing Cai Zhenjie had ever said in all these years of working together.
Before Chen Tiecai could express his opinion, Cai Zhengjie added, "My term will be over in a little over a year."
I don't expect to accomplish much during my term.
I just hope nothing serious happens.
Some people can't even meet this small request of mine and insist on making me feel embarrassed.
Then I'll have to change my approach.
A threat is also a deterrent.
A seasoned official might only make a move once or twice in his entire life.
There may only be one or two key conversations with subordinates.
It will never be long-winded or verbose.
That's what makes it powerful.
Chen Tiecai was subdued and nodded forcefully.
"Secretary Zhengjie, don't worry, I'll give them a warning."
"Yes, we absolutely must secure the expansion of the city's cigarette factory. If we miss this opportunity, we might have to wait another ten years. We... we still need to accomplish something worthwhile, not for anything else, but just for this salary, we have to do something practical, right?"
"Yes, yes, Secretary Zhengjie is right."
Chen Tiecai's face was extremely gloomy.
In truth, he also longed to achieve something and to be a good official.
However, when he stood up, his legs were covered in mud, which he could never wash off.
I came out of the city government compound.
Chen Tiecai hurriedly made a phone call to Zhou Xiangzhang.
"Former boss."
Come over tonight.
"Eh..." Zhou Xiangzhang replied uneasily.
……
In the staff dormitory of the Logistics Service Center of Yuanshan County.
Lin Yunxing had just boiled a kettle of water and was preparing to make instant noodles.
He hasn't received his meal card yet, so he can't go to the cafeteria to get food.
Director Liu was clearly impatient and indifferent towards him, saying that he would process his meal card again when he came to work tomorrow.
Lin Yunxing was not upset by this.
The salary here is around 2000 yuan a month, which is much higher than that of logistics companies, and accommodation is also provided.
In addition, there are meal allowances, overtime pay, and holiday benefits.
Most importantly, they also provide social security benefits.
Despite all this, the second brother endured it. Even if Director Liu from the logistics department had a very unpleasant expression, he would still bear it.
They were really enjoying their meal.
Wu Maocai walked in with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
"Director Wu." The second brother wiped his mouth and stood up nervously.
Wu Maocai gestured for him to sit down and leaned closer to look at the instant noodles in Lin Lao Er's bowl.
"Why don't you even get a sausage?"
"It's fine as it is."
"Don't you have enough money on you?"
The second son rubbed the fine sweat on his forehead and chuckled sheepishly, "It's enough. My sister gave me some when we left."
"There's still some time before payday. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me, and I'll give you 300 yuan to spend."
"No, no, how could I take your money!"
Lin Yunxing declined, but Wu Maocai simply stuffed three hundred into his pillow on his bed.
Lin Yunxing was about to take it out when Wu Maocai stopped him.
"It's not a gift for you."
You have to pay me back.
You haven't met my wife; she's a ruthless woman. She demands an explanation for every single expense.
As Lin Yunxing entered the county government building, he was met with many hostile attitudes. However, Wu Maocai's sudden concern touched him deeply.
"Director Wu... this..."
"Eat, eat quickly, I'll chat with you for a while after you finish."
Lin Yunxing finished his noodles in a few bites, then took out the pack of cigarettes he was going to give to Director Liu and handed it to Wu Maocai.
"Take mine." Wu Maocai didn't take it, but took out a pack himself and handed one to Lin Lao Er.
The second brother was an honest man; he wouldn't say anything too vague. He accepted the gift with both hands and bowed respectfully.
Once the two started smoking, the atmosphere immediately relaxed a bit.
"Have you studied all the rules and regulations for the drivers?"
"I've watched it once, but I don't remember it very well. I'll watch it a few more times later."
Wu Maocai chuckled: "Take your time, the class monitor will teach you too. Yunxing, County Chief Chen cares about you a lot, but it's inconvenient for him to come here. You have to understand."
"I understand. My sister taught me that County Chief Chen and I are from different social classes. He has to treat everyone equally. This is because he cares about me and doesn't want me to become the target of public criticism."
Wu Maocai nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that his sister, Lin Qiufeng, was a very sensible person.
"I won't be staying in this dormitory for too long."
In a few days, Old Zhou from the kitchen will retire and go back to his hometown. You can use his south-facing dormitory room then.
Please bear with it for a few days.
Lin Lao Er nodded repeatedly: "Thank you for your concern, leader. This is very good."
Wu Maocai looked at the buckets, bamboo mats, and quilts he had brought and couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing you carrying these things reminds me of when I lived in the dorms at school.
I was just like you back then.
I used the same bucket for six years, even bringing it to college, and my classmates laughed at me for ages.
Wu Maocai chuckled self-deprecatingly, then changed the subject.
"Yunxing."
Everyone has one or two such opportunities in their lives.
Once you step through the gates of the county government compound, your life will be completely different.
You must always remember that this was achieved by David, who took a huge risk.
We all have to live up to his expectations.
You need to change your temper in the future, and you must never resort to violence so easily.
Otherwise, it would damage David's reputation.
This was Wu Maocai's purpose in coming here; before he took up his post, he needed to undergo some ideological training.
These are harsh words, and only Wu Maocai can say them; Dawei cannot.
