Chapter 20: Self-assertion

, but the mayor of Hongshi suddenly had arrangements to go to Huaking, so the inspection in Yuezhou was brought forward." 。I was supposed to ask the mayor for leave, but the mayor disagreed. He said t...Yes, if Xiao Zheng had been obedient and cooperated with Tan Xiaojie at the Office of the Party Committee and Government, doing whatever he asked, then when the County Commission for Discipline Inspection came to investigate, saying nothing, he probably wouldn't have had to live so hard these years. 。But Xiao Zheng had never regretted his choice. 。Although Xiao Zheng was a minor figure, he always believed that an individual should have their own opinions. 。He said: "Mayor Jin, you're right, in our town it is indeed Song Shuji who holds the power. But each member of our team has their own responsibilities, doesn't that mean we should have our own work duties Since you are in charge of safety production, you must take responsibility! Those stone mines in the village, if their operations don't meet requirements, they should be rectified, and those that shouldn't operate should be shut down! This is something you can do!"

"Can I really do it" Jin Hui poured himself a full glass of beer as he said, "I only had one soldier under me before, and now that you've been promoted, I don't even have a single soldier left. What can I do Am I supposed to order the village to shut down the stone mines If the village ignores me, what can I do"

Xiao Zheng was puzzled: "You are the deputy town mayor, how dare the village ignore you" Jin Hui said, "Xiao Zheng, you still don't understand..." 。The opening of a stone mine in the village was permitted by Song Shujì, who has relatives invested in the mine. 。I wasn't supposed to tell you this, but now that you're a member of the team and no longer working at the safety inspection station, it doesn't matter if I do. 。"So that's how it is No wonder the village is so powerful. No wonder Jin Hui always goes down and comes back after having a drink and taking a pack of cigarettes, because Jin Hui has no way!"But, Mayor Jin, this isn't a good solution either!" Xiao Zheng said, "What if something really serious happens As the deputy mayor in charge, you will definitely be held responsible!"Jin Hui smiled helplessly, "Whether a major accident will happen is unknown. If we are lucky, it may not even reach me." 。But by going against the village, I'm also going against Song Shuji. I'm afraid that before what you call a "major security incident" happens, I will have to be demoted. 。"Xiao Zheng was a little skeptical that Song Shujì would be so unreasonable. " 。In this era, it's not uncommon for relatives of town leaders to invest in mines, as seen with the Song family's firm. 。No matter what, safety comes first. If Jin Hui demands that the village be rectified, Song Shuji will probably also understand the severity of the problem. 。"Mayor Jin, aren't you being too pessimistic"

Jin Hui shook his head while drinking beer and said, "Commissioner Xiao, I'm afraid it's not that I'm too pessimistic, but that you're too optimistic." 。You're not in my position, you wouldn't know. If one day you were in my shoes, I think you would understand. 。"To your position" Xiao Zheng shook his head. "I wouldn't want to go to your position." 。Xiao Zheng had just left the safety supervision station, he didn't want to go back to his position overseeing production safety. 。Having worked as a safety inspector for four years, Xiao Zheng walked on eggshells every day. To be honest, if he could avoid it, he would never want to have anything to do with this line of work again. 。Jin Hui looked at him, smiling and said, “Look, how hypocritical you are. On one hand, you ask me to order the village to rectify and suspend mining, but on the other hand, you yourself don't want to come to this position and work.” 。"Xiao Zheng said: 'Everyone knows that this position is a hot potato. It's best not to take it if you can avoid it, but if the organization really arranges me to the safety inspection position, I have no choice. If that day ever comes, I guarantee I will make them rectify and demand that they halt mining!'

Jin Hui said: 'You're just talking tough words, don't believe them! Forget about it, let's not talk about this anymore. There's still plenty of chicken in this claypot casserole. Let's have two more bottles of beer and finish all the chicken. We can't waste it.'" 。Xiao Zheng went to get two more bottles of beer, one for each of him and Jin Hui. They finished all the roast chicken and then returned to town. 。> At noon, Xiao Zheng took a nap in his office at the safety supervision station. 。The local safety supervision station's office is quite peculiar. There was only one soldier, Xiao Zheng, before, but the position of station chief has been vacant and they haven't given it to Xiao Zheng >>> 。Now Xiao Zheng has been promoted to become a member of the Party Committee, but the town didn't arrange a leadership office for Xiao Zheng, and he still stayed at the Safety Supervision Station. They also didn't arrange new people for Jin Hui to use. 。Either the town doesn't take safety supervision seriously, or it intentionally leaves the safety supervision department understaffed. 。Since his own tasks hadn't been assigned yet, Xiao Zheng experienced a period of "downtime" during this period. He hardly had anything to do. 。After having some drinks at noon, Xiao Zheng fell asleep comfortably on the worn leather sofa. 。After getting up, Xiao Zheng felt too bored, so he went to the government office and asked his "disciple" Li Haiyan for a lot of newspapers, magazines, and internal references to study. 。Xiao Zheng didn't know how the town would assign him tasks next. As a member of the Party Committee, there were only a few things he could do: organization, discipline inspection, and propaganda. If he was also the deputy town mayor, he would have to choose from several more areas of work, such as agriculture and industry. 。The town keeps delaying my assignment, probably at the suggestion of Song Shuji. He's showing his displeasure about my promotion. 。But Xiao Zheng thought, no matter how displeased Song Shuji was, he would eventually arrange his work assignments. 。For this, Xiao Zheng planned to take advantage of this free time to familiarize himself with the work in all aspects of the town, and at the same time strengthen his studies of major policies, enhance his theoretical level and political cultivation, skills learned will come in handy later. 。。Both pieces of work are managed by the organization, which is why Xiao Zheng came to Zhang Qing. 。Zhang Qingdao: "Xiao Weiye, don't you think it's a good time to rest now You'll be busy later." 。"Xiao Zheng said, “We haven't divided the tasks yet. I'm worried that the county Organization Department will think I don't want to work!” Zhang Qing said, "Don't worry, Commissioner Xiao. The County Committee Organization Department sets the time for task division based on the town cadres meeting. They won't blame you." 。And, this division meeting, I believe it will be held very soon. 。As for the office, we are also working hard to make arrangements and hope that Commissioner Xiao can move to the main building as soon as possible. 。"Then, I'll trouble you, Commissioner Zhang. I'll be waiting for your notice in the deputy building." 。Xiao Zheng also specially emphasized the two words "sub-building". 。After Xiao Zheng left, Zhang Qingchao stood where Xiao Zheng had been standing for a while, lit a cigarette, and started thinking about something. 。Over the past few days, Chen Hong and Xiao Zheng have remained in close contact. Whenever she has free time, Chen Hong will call or send a text message. 。One time she asked if Xiao Zheng's office had moved. If it had, she wanted to come over and give him some plants to spruce up the new space. 。Xiao Zheng smiled and said, “I’m not a woman, so why would I need any plants” 。Chen Hong said: "Green plants can prevent radiation. As people use computers more and more in the future, their bodies will be exposed to more radiation. It is necessary to place some green plants in offices." 。"When will your office be renovated"

Chen Hong's father, Chen Guangming, had told her last time that since she was already a member of the team, she should work in the main building. 。Some benefits you should fight for, otherwise people will only see you as a fool, thinking you lack courage and are easy to manipulate. You will also lose your authority in the group. 。Chen Hong came to inquire about office matters, and a large part of the reason was probably because Chen Guangming was also concerned about it. 。Xiao Zheng then said, "I mentioned to the town's organizing committee member a few days ago and asked him to arrange it as soon as possible. He also agreed to vacate the office as soon as possible." 。Chen Hong still felt sorry for Xiao Zheng: “What did they do You've already been promoted, haven't you Why didn't they arrange a new office for you That doesn't make sense!” 。“I think they took into account the division of labor and office arrangement when making the plan.” 。It is said that a meeting of the town Party committee is about to be held. 。Chen Hong said, "Xiao Zheng, my dad is right. That's how it is in a class, either the east wind prevails over the west wind or the west wind prevails over the east wind. " 。If you don't show some attitude, some spirit, people will just think you don't exist. 。Xiao Zheng said: "I understand what you mean, I will try to get the office and division of labor settled as soon as possible." 。Chen Hong said: "Tell me as soon as it's done, I'll send you a green plant" 。It seems Chen Hong is definitely going to get herself a plant. 。Although he didn't need them and wasn't particularly fond of tending to green plants, Chen Hong insisted on giving them to him. He was happy about it, at least it showed that he held more weight in Chen Hong's heart. 。When she arrives, he'll invite her back to his dorm room. Just thinking about it makes Xiao Zheng's blood race and his heart beat faster. 。However, almost a week passed and the town government worker meeting still hadn't been held. Not only was Xiao Zheng not assigned any tasks, but he also wasn't given an office in the main building. 。The organization committee member Zhang Qing was also silent, as if he didn't take his matter seriously at all. 。Xiao Zheng couldn't help but think of what Chen Guangming had said to him. Some treatment should be fought for, otherwise people will only see you as a fool. 。I'm afraid the organizing committee member Zhang Qing also thinks that Xiao Zheng is just a pushover, someone he can bully and fool around with. 。Xiao Zheng thought, he had to find a way to make Zhang Qing realize the seriousness of the problem. 。At lunchtime that day, Xiao Zheng was in the corridor of the annex building, looking at the second floor of the main building. The other members of his team were working in their offices there. 。When Xiao Zheng saw the organizer walk out of the office and head to the cafeteria, he also walked out of the deputy building. 。When we arrived at the dining hall, we saw that Zhang Qing, the organizational committee member, had already prepared the meal and was sitting with several other deputy department heads. 。Xiao Zheng also cooked a meal and sat next to Zhang Qing, saying: "Comrade Zhang, good..." 。When Zhang Qing saw it was Xiao Zheng, her expression became a little embarrassed, but she still said: "Hello, Commissioner Xiao." 。"Xiao Zheng said: 'The other day, I ran into a high-ranking official from the county. He asked me what area I was in charge of and which office I worked in. He said he wanted to come and have a look.' " 。I said, because our town's Zhang committee member is too busy, my office hasn't been resolved yet, and the work division hasn't been finalized. 。The leader asked, "Who is Zhang Qing Is he the organization commissioner" I said yes. 。When Xiao Zheng said this, the other several deputy directors all turned their eyes to Xiao Zheng. 。What they cared about wasn't the division of labor, but who the "certain leader in the county" that Xiao Zheng mentioned was. And what was his relationship with Xiao Zhengttle puzzled: "What's the matter" Fang Ya didn't answer but asked back: "You did something that made me very unhappy." 。"I don't know," Xiao Zheng asked blankly. 。Fang Ya said, "Xiao Jingyu is pregnan...
