Rebirth in 1976 begins with educated youth

In the conference room of the Standing Committee of the Huaining Municipal Party Committee, there is a huge plaque handwritten by Zhou Mingshan, the first municipal party secretary after the Huaining Prefectural Committee was evacuated and established as a city, Zhou Haiyang's father: "Government is guided by people and people are harmonious."

The plaque adds a strong political tone to the interior.

Although there are some flowers embellished among them, it still does not detract from the solemnity and sacredness of the overall atmosphere.

Over the years, successive members of the Huaining City Standing Committee have often gathered under these four characters to discuss business affairs, discuss affairs, and vote.

In Huaining City, all major matters related to the national economy and people's livelihood and personnel changes are carried out here without exception.

As a result, this conference room became a political symbol, a political weathervane, and a mysterious yet very real place.

One day, half a year after Zhou Haiyang took office, just a few hours ago, he was very optimistic that the person he wanted to nominate, Zhang Zuyuan, the executive deputy magistrate of Renyuan County, was the most promising to be promoted to the position of magistrate of Yongfeng County.

But just when the Municipal Standing Committee was voting, it unexpectedly failed to pass.

Eleven members of the Standing Committee only raised three hands, giving him a sudden slap in the face.

These three hands are Mayor Yuan Qiliang, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Lei Hao, and himself.

There were two abstentions and the other six votes were against.

This unexpected result made Zhou Haiyang's heart feel as cold as ice in an instant.

After Zhang Zuyuan became the executive deputy county magistrate of Linyuan County, he was in charge of petition work.

The first thing he did was to deal with the problems left by the old petitioners in a down-to-earth manner.

It has dealt with several issues that have been a serious headache for previous governments.

Most of the issues involve compensation and resettlement for immigrants.

To put it bluntly, it means asking for money, or more money.

Zhang Zuyuan's principle is that as long as the people's demands are not excessive and the issues involved are not large, the government can accommodate them.

Zhang Zuyuan said: The government is making a mistake by accommodating its own mistakes.But accommodating the common people is not a mistake, but a kind of ambition in governing.

Therefore, the county government allocated more than 20 yuan to specifically solve this problem.

After the problems of the old petitioning households were resolved, the county committee and county government signed petition responsibility letters with each township.

All petitioning issues should be brought to the towns and villages, and any problems should be digested and solved on the spot.

In all cases involving petitions to the provincial, municipal, and central government, the main leaders of the townships must be held accountable.

This trick really works. Once the responsibility letter is signed, the township leaders no longer shirk the blame, because everyone wants to keep their job.

This initiative became an important experience and was promoted throughout Huaining City.

The issue of petitioning is also a headache for secretaries-general at all levels.

By doing this, Zhang Zuyuan resolved a major worry for Zhou Haiyang.

Zhang Zuyuan has been the executive deputy county magistrate for two years.

Zhou Haiyang hopes that this time he will be able to take charge of the overall situation.I hope he will bring his vigorous and resolute work style to Yongfeng County and accelerate the development of various economies in Yongfeng County.

Unexpectedly, the person he wanted to recommend failed to do so.

A candidate he expected to be an excellent candidate for the new county magistrate sadly disappeared like a painless abortion.

The person who was stillborn was exactly the talent he thought he could place high hopes on.

Near the end of the meeting, Zhou Haiyang accidentally saw the four characters "Government and Humanity".

It involuntarily stimulated his imagination, causing him to feel calmly:

Politics has never been the product of romance and tenderness. A cruel and stern smile is the usual expression of politics.

And the conference room is often where this look is created.

Today's Standing Committee meeting is just a routine for leaders who vote by a show of hands.

But for the person involved, Zhang Zuyuan, the executive deputy county magistrate of Renyuan County, he missed a chance for promotion, which even determined his life destiny.

Zhou Haiyang, who is a member of the Standing Committee of the Huaining Municipal Party Committee and Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, can only express regret from the bottom of his heart.

What surprised Zhou Haiyang was that just a few days before this Standing Committee meeting, he had private exchanges with several other major Standing Committee members about Zhang Zuyuan's appointment.

Everyone agreed that Zhang Zuyuan was an honest man, dared to innovate, had outstanding political achievements, and was deeply loved by the masses.

He is the best candidate to replace Yongfeng County Magistrate Liang Zhifeng.

Since everyone agreed before, why couldn’t it pass during the vote?

Similarly, when studying the candidate for Yongfeng County Magistrate, Zhou Haiyang estimated that Lin Junping, proposed by the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, would be difficult to pass.

Lin Junping is the executive deputy county magistrate of Yongfeng County. He and Zhou Haiyang were comrades who jumped in the team at Yuanping Educated Youth Point, and they were also the first educated youth captain of Yuanping Educated Youth Point.

Zhou Haiyang believes that Lin Junping is not broad-minded enough and his actual work ability is not as good as Zhang Zuyuan, so he is not very suitable as the county magistrate of Yongfeng County.

Therefore, during the voting, Zhou Haiyang voted against Lin Junping.

But the strange thing is that only Yuan Qiliang and himself voted against it. Lei Hao, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, abstained and eight votes were in favor.

This not only made Zhou Haiyang full of questions.

But this kind of question mark cannot be expressed, and regret cannot be expressed in words.

My father always taught me that tolerating comrades with different opinions and views with a smile is the minimum political demeanor of a ruler.

After Secretary Tan Bin announced the adjournment of the meeting, Zhou Haiyang sat in his seat as usual and turned on his mobile phone that he had turned off before the meeting.

Then he calmly took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it.

As soon as he put the cigarette case into his pocket, Lei Hao, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, stretched out his hand in front of him: "Here you go, give me one."

Zhou Haiyang raised his head and looked at him: "Haven't you quit smoking?"

"You can't disbelieve what he said, but you can't believe everything." Tan Bin walked up to Zhou Haiyang and said with a smile.

Then, he took out a pack of white, unbranded cigarettes from his handbag, handed it to Zhou Haiyang, and said, "Just one pack."

Tan Bin means: There is only one pack, and it can only be given to one person.

This was said deliberately to Lei Hao, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Zhou Haiyang took the cigarette that Tan Bin gave him and looked at it. It should be a good cigarette.

It is said that smoking can reveal a person's status.The rich smoke famous brands, the poor smoke low-end brands, and the leaders smoke white-packaged products.Because the white packaging is a specially made cigarette.

In the 60s, when Tan Bin was the director of Huaining Construction Machinery Factory, he smoked.

Ever since I became the second-in-command in Yongfeng County, as my position got bigger and bigger, I have paid special attention to life and health. I hope that both my political life and my physical life can be long-lived.

Tan Bin has always been a very self-disciplined person.

In his opinion, smoking is also a kind of prostitution, and it is also a matter of paying for one's health in exchange for temporary physical pleasure.

Thinking of this, Tan Bin made up his mind to quit smoking and become a good person.

Therefore, after Tan Bin became the secretary of the municipal party committee, he issued a ban at the municipal party committee working meeting: no one is allowed to smoke in the conference room.

This caused complaints from the county party committee secretaries, county magistrates and directors below.

He said that Secretary Tan was too selfish. He didn't smoke, but he interfered with other people's smoking.

Talking about the former Secretary Pei Yuanhua and Pei Yuanhua’s predecessor Zhou Mingshan, they basically did not smoke, at least not in the conference room.

But I never interfere with everyone smoking during meetings.

But no matter how noisy it is, no one dares to express it in person.

But now, Secretary Tan has cigarettes in his pocket.

This shows that he still smokes one occasionally and is not completely insulated from cigarettes.

Tan Bin left the conference room first, and then Yuan Qiliang also got up and left.

After the meeting, the members of the Standing Committee also left the conference room one after another and returned to their respective territories, busy with what they had to do.
