Rebirth of Merry Career

At 04:30 in the evening, the sky outside gradually dimmed. Zhou Jing left the provincial party committee compound, went to a nearby fruit shop on the roadside, bought two exquisite fruit baskets, got into the car, and drove to the back of the Friendship Shopping Center In the Shuangyang Community, I went to Lan Shuidie's house for an appointment.

Ever since Wang Yannian was transferred to Lin'an County as the acting magistrate, the two had had little contact and never met each other. During this period, the other party must have heard about the changes in Qingyang's officialdom. If you have the opportunity, you can ask Wang Yannian for advice.

After all, he is a veteran in the officialdom. Whether it is political experience or strategic insight, he is a head above others. It is unwise to let such a famous teacher not ask for advice. Of course, Wang Yannian's original advice was to let him remain neutral and avoid get involved in any dispute.

However, although this suggestion seems very sensible, it is very much like wishful thinking. These days, Zhou Jing has realized more and more deeply that people cannot help themselves in the arena. In a sense, the current officialdom, It is the real rivers and lakes!

Where there are rivers and lakes, there will be grievances and struggles. No one can avoid it, and it is difficult to be alone. If you don’t stand in line, you can avoid conflicts. In this kind of place where smart people gather, the officials are as shrewd as ghosts. It has become a weed.

That's obviously unrealistic. Officials talk about each section, with the line as the key link. Basically, cadres who are not on the same line are destined not to go to the end with one heart. Therefore, no matter how outstanding their ability is, they will not be rewarded. promoted and reused.

Moreover, officialdom struggles are sometimes unpredictable and difficult to predict. Some officials even get along with each other for several years without incident. reaction, making the situation volatile and difficult to control.

The power struggle at the grassroots level also has very distinct characteristics. Although simple and direct, it is extremely fierce and almost desperate. Cadres at this level are very realistic and rarely have the mind and vision of a politician, or the way to resolve differences.

When they see their own interests threatened, they usually don't choose to give in and retreat. Instead, they go head-on, head-on, and fight back at all costs. As long as they can knock down their opponents, they can try any means.

This also means that once the war starts, it will be in full swing and extremely fierce. Without the direct intervention of the leaders above, it will be difficult to solve the problem through compromise. Every round of contest, someone is bound to be out. This is cruel zero In sum games, you win or you lose. There is no possibility of win-win or multi-win.

Due to her superior background, Li Siyan was not interested in the power struggle in the cities and counties below, nor did she take it to heart at all. It seemed that as long as her father stepped in, everything would be settled smoothly. This is a natural attitude, Zhou Jing can understand.

But for Zhou Jing, the situation is a bit different, he is like watching a rare boxing match, all the heavyweights standing on the stage, not only Li Weiye, secretary of the municipal party committee, Yu Manting, deputy secretary, There is also the mayor Luo Yunfeng who is watching covetously.

These three people are fighting wits and courage, each using their own means, dealing with political opponents, and may deliver a fatal blow at any time, knocking the opponent to the ground, and Zhou Jing is also learning the rules of the game of power struggle through careful observation, As well as game skills, this is the basic skill to survive in the officialdom, and it is also a survival skill that will never appear in textbooks.

In his opinion, this is the stage of stalemate. After Cai Sicheng, secretary of the municipal party committee, changed his position, the person Yu Manting relied on the most was naturally Wei Heping, the deputy mayor in charge of the public security gate.

As long as he can seize the opportunity, open a gap in Liang Baofa and his wife, follow the vines, dig deep in one go, and make another victory, and pull down Qingyang's first secret Liang Baocheng, even if Li Weiye is ten times stronger, he will still have an accident because of his secret. , and being implicated, it is difficult to get out of the whole body.

From the perspective of fighting, it is to use the greatest force to hit the opponent's weakest point. Obviously, Li Weiye's weakest point is his secret. As long as he bites Liang Baocheng tightly, it will definitely make him feel uncomfortable. If he loses ground, he will also lose his prestige and status, and even overnight, he will be betrayed by all relatives, and he will be out of the game in dismay!

On the other hand, at this time, how to keep Liang Baocheng will also be Li Weiye's top priority, and it is what he should deal with the most. Zhou Jing also wants to know, who is known as the most powerful official in Qingyang. The secretary of the municipal party committee, how did he solve this problem? After all, the conflict has become public now, and it is too late for him to lose his pawn and protect the commander, and make a full cut with the current secretary. For the current plan, it seems that he can only bite the bullet and die Hold up!

Of course, this is considered from a defensive point of view. If another method is used, Li Weiye seems to be able to turn the defense into an offense, or directly find out what is wrong with Yu Manting and report it to his superiors; , Treating the body of the person, when the power base has not been shaken, deal with the cronies of the court with all their strength, race against time, strive to get ahead and make a major breakthrough!

Zhou Jing even thought that if the material left by Zhang Wuyang is still there and submitted at this time, maybe the situation can be reversed in one fell swoop, and the balance of victory will immediately fall to Li Weiye, secretary of the municipal party committee, and they have worked together for so long , more or less, there should be some handles on the opponent, and even the shells are ready-made. It only depends on which direction you choose to attack in order to win an overwhelming victory and successfully bring down the opponent.

Driving on the street, Zhou Jing's mind was spinning rapidly, transforming himself into three leaders of the municipal party committee, analyzing the current situation, and conducting offensive and defensive drills. After several rounds of comparison, he came to the conclusion that even the secretary Being poached, Yu Manting's advantage is quite obvious now. If there are no major mistakes, he will eventually hold the initiative in his hands. Most importantly, compared with Li Weiye who will retire in two years, the time It's Yu Manting's friend, and he's on his side!

Before he knew it, Zhou Jing drove into the community, parked the car downstairs, opened the door, and jumped out, only to find an Audi car with the license plate of the Lin'an County Government parked a few meters away. He knew that Wang Yannian had already When we arrived, we hurried upstairs with the gift.

Coming upstairs in a hurry, Zhou Jing stopped, knocked lightly on the door, waited for about two or three minutes, the door was pushed open, Lan Shuidie leaned out, and glanced at his face twice. , pushed open the door, and said with a smile: "Xiaojing is here, come in and sit down!"

Looking at the blue water butterfly wearing a pink cheongsam with a spring face, Zhou Jing couldn't help being a little surprised. This kind and easy-going beautiful woman in front of him is very different from the woman who was looking for death and life and making troubles out of control a few days ago. They are like two different people!

"Okay, Aunt Lan!" Zhou Jing smiled and handed over the fruit basket in his hand.

"Aunt Lan?" Lan Shuidie seemed dissatisfied with this title, glanced at him, put away her smile, entered the room with a gift, came to the side of the sofa, and said softly: "Yannian, Zhou Jing is here! "

Wang Yannian nodded with a smile, put down the newspaper in his hand, and waved: "Come here, play chess with me!"

"Okay, County Magistrate Wang." Zhou Jing smiled, changed his slippers, walked up to Wang Yannian and sat down, turned his head to look, but saw that the other party's face was rosy and radiant, and compared with the previous few months, he seemed to be more beautiful. The ground is full of energy.

The two put on the chessboard, and fought against each other in the Chu River and Han Realm. When the battle was inextricable, Lan Shuidie came out of the kitchen, took off her apron, came to the side of the two, and said with a smile : "Yannian, the food is ready, let's eat it before we eat."

Wang Yannian dropped the chess piece, waved his big hand, nodded and said, "Okay, go eat first, and I'll clean you up later!"

"Accompany you at any time!" Zhou Jing smiled, got up and followed him, came to the dining table, opened the Maotai wine, filled the wine glass, raised the glass, stood up, and said respectfully: "Mayor Wang, I offer you a toast! "

Wang Yannian smiled all over his face and hurriedly gestured: "Okay, okay, sit down and drink, we are all from our own family, so you don't have to be polite at home!"

The two touched their glasses, took a big sip each, put down the wine glasses, Wang Yannian took a bite of food, and frowned: "Xiaojing, Qingyang seems to be very lively recently!"

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, and said softly: "Indeed, there have been some unrest recently!"

Wang Yannian put down his chopsticks, took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Zhou Jing, lit it himself, and pondered, "What's the reason?"

Zhou Jing smiled, fiddled with the cigarette in his hand, and said softly: "The fuse is Liang Baocheng, the first secretary of Qingyang, who is arrogant and domineering, and offended many officials. At first, he seemed to be targeting him. The record is in!"

Wang Yannian took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Last night, Albert Kee and Liang Baocheng arrived in Lin'an, and we had a long talk in the hotel. We didn't send them back to Qingyang until this morning."

Zhou Jing was startled for a moment, then his expression became serious, and he said in a low voice: "County Wang, what are the two of them doing to find you in Lin'an when they're not in Qingyang on the cusp of this kind of crisis?"

"What else can I do, of course it is to send rescuers!" Wang Yannian smiled, with an extremely happy expression on his face, brushed off a piece of cigarette ash, and said with a smile: "Xiaojing, tell the truth, is Man Ting Ji imposing? Under pressure, I want to get in touch with Deputy Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee through you?"

Zhou Jingjing nodded, frowned, took a puff of cigarette, and said softly: "Indeed, these days, Wei Heping has been urging me, making me very passive and under a lot of pressure!"

Wang Yannian smiled lightly, and said casually: "We must hold on, we cannot give them such a chance!"

Zhou Jing frowned slightly, glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "But if you don't cooperate, Man Ting Ji will not be able to stay here!"

Wang Yannian didn't say anything, but grabbed the Moutai, filled the wine glass, raised the glass, and said with a smile: "Xiaojing, you don't have to worry, just try to hold on, if the situation in Qingyang gets worse, I will find a way to put You transfer it, don't worry about it."

Zhou Jing smiled and didn't express his opinion immediately. He didn't know what exactly Li Weiye discussed with Wang Yannian when he went to Lin'an, or what kind of agreement was reached, which made him come out of the mountain and copy the back road of Manting. But this kind of behavior is tantamount to tearing down the wall and poaching corners, and drawing salary from the bottom of the pot.

Wang Yannian struck while the iron was hot, and continued to persuade: "Xiaojing, Jiang is still old and spicy, without the support of the provincial leaders, with Mantingji's current strength, he can't beat Albertji at all!"

Zhou Jing felt that it was too early to say, so he hurriedly reminded: "Major Wang, the problem now is that Wei Heping has already taken action and arrested Liang Baocheng's brother and sister-in-law. If we can find a breakthrough from there, we can solve the problem." After Liang Baocheng's question, Albert Kee will be passive, after all, many officials are now considering the issue of re-election, after two years, Albert Kee will definitely retire, at that time, Man Ting Kee will have the greatest hope."

Wang Yannian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Jing, the former may happen in the two situations you mentioned, but Albert has already prepared for it. As for the latter, it is probably very unlikely. The movement is too big, and Albert Kee is very annoyed, the consequences will be very serious, no accidents, under the full counterattack of Albert Kee, the situation will soon reverse!"

Zhou Jing was secretly surprised, looked at Wang Yannian with suspicious eyes, and said in a low voice: "Major Wang, is this your judgment or not?"

Wang Yannian didn't answer directly, but put out the cigarette, and said calmly: "One move is missing, and the whole game is lost. Man Ting Ji still hasn't calmed down. I'm too anxious. Maybe I will fall a big somersault this time!"

Lan Shuidie listened to it for a long while, then she pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "You two, it's too much, as soon as you mention work, you chat endlessly, and you don't have much food or drink!"

Wang Yannian laughed, nodded and said: "Yes, Xiaojing, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"

"Okay!" Zhou Jing smiled, took a mouthful of fish meat and put it in his mouth. He had just chewed a few mouthfuls when he suddenly felt a soft foot under the table stepping on his foot and rubbing it lightly. Can't help being startled, quickly pulled his foot back, turned his head to look at Lan Shuidie, but saw her expression was calm, with a smile on her lips, and she thought to herself: "This woman You are so bold, you dare to play such tricks in front of Wang Yannian, and you are not afraid of being seen through!"
