Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

Far away in Xin'an City, Handong Province, Zhao Lichun, then deputy mayor of Xin'an City, was invited to attend the municipal party committee meeting.

Originally, Zhao Lichun was not qualified to attend with his position because he was ranked sixth among the six deputy mayors, so he was not qualified to attend the Standing Committee meeting of the Municipal Party Committee.

But this time, for some unknown reason, an exception was made to allow him to attend. When he entered the meeting room, he found that he was not the only one invited, but the four deputy mayors who were ahead of him were also present.

However, he had the lowest ranking and could only sit at the end of the conference table.

Although Zhao Lichun didn't know what Secretary Lu of the Municipal Party Committee meant by this arrangement, he was sure of one thing, that is, there must have been some major event or personnel changes in the city, otherwise it would not have been done this way.

Subsequently, various cadres entered the conference room one after another, and Lu Xiong, then secretary of the Xin'an Municipal Party Committee, was the last one to enter the conference room.

After he sat down, he began to organize this meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee.

"Comrades, good morning. Some of you may be curious today. It is clearly a meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, so why are there so many cadres in this conference room?

Here I want to explain to you that I have just received a notice from the provincial party committee. With the recommendation of the provincial party committee and the approval of the organization, I will be transferred to the province to serve as vice governor in two days. "

When everyone heard what Lu Xiong said, they immediately started to compliment him.

"Congratulations to Secretary Lu, congratulations to Secretary Lu."

At this time, Ma Tao, the first deputy mayor at the time, interrupted and said, "Everyone, isn't it a bit inappropriate to call him Secretary Lu now? From now on, we should call him Deputy Governor Lu!"

Ma Tao's words really touched Lu Xiong's heart.

Everyone echoed the sentiment, even Zhao Lichun hypocritically followed suit and shouted something.

Lu Xiong was very pleased to hear the compliments from everyone.

Then he changed the subject.

"Thank you for your congratulations. I, Lu Xiong, appreciate your congratulations. I also have another piece of news to announce. In the coming days, with my departure, there may be some changes in the appointment of cadres and organizational structure of our new Amuro.

As for who will take over for me, the organization has not yet made a specific decision, so you should understand what I mean."

These words from Lu Xiong, the municipal party secretary, made everyone present, including Zhao Lichun, excited.

Zhao Lichun is actually a very ambitious person who wants to make progress. However, because his father, Zhao Daqiang, died too early for some unspeakable reasons, he lost his political asylum.

The unexpected disappearance of his elder brother-in-law He Yuzhu caused him to lose a strong external aid. In addition, although he has now joined the Fang family and pretended to be friendly with them, the Fang family does not value him at all, let alone help him to build relationships.

This has put Zhao Lichun in a very embarrassing situation. He wants to climb up but has no chance. Even if he has a chance, it will never be his turn.

So compared to the expectant expressions of everyone present, Zhao Lichun felt a little unwilling in his heart.

As for the content of the following meeting, we simply talked about some of Xin'an City's various development measures, which mainly focused on economic development.

However, this has nothing to do with Zhao Lichun. After all, he is now in charge of health, and the economy is in charge of Ma Tao, who was the first deputy mayor at the time.

But after the meeting, Zhao Lichun looked worried compared to his colleagues who had their own thoughts.

Because he knew that if he wanted to move up, he must first take the position of first deputy mayor.

If he can't even climb to the position of first deputy mayor, he will basically have no hope of advancement in his life.

The career of this deputy mayor has come to an end. He may have to retire to the second line in just three to five years.

In order to make progress, he went to the office of Zhang Ping, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and knocked on the door.

“Knock…knock…”

"Come in..."

After getting the other party's consent, Zhao Lichun pushed the door open and walked in.

When the busy Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Zhang Ping saw that the visitor was the Deputy Mayor Zhao Lichun, he was very surprised and immediately took the initiative to ask,

"Deputy Mayor Zhao, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

In response to Zhang Ping's question, he bluntly explained his purpose.

"Hello, Deputy Secretary Zhao. I came to you today hoping that you could help me put forward a proposal and see if I could raise it higher up the ladder."

Zhang Ping was not surprised to hear what Zhao Lichun said, because he was a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, and he could indeed recommend Zhao Lichun to the Municipal Party Committee.

But he and Zhao Lichun were not related, so he didn't want to help and politely refused.

“Deputy Mayor Zhao, I fully understand your young people’s desire for progress, but sometimes we have to consider the situation.

You are now at the very end of the list of deputy mayors, and there are four seniors ahead of you. If they all come to me and ask me to recommend them for permanent office, tell me, what should I do? "

Seeing this, Zhao Lichun immediately prepared to offer his own chips, but before he could say anything, Zhang Ping, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, took the lead and said, "Deputy Mayor Zhao, I think you must have found the wrong person. I don't have that much power.

I heard that the Fang family is spreading the news recently, looking for a miracle drug or a famous doctor. If you know any famous doctors, please introduce them to them.

If you can make the Fang family's head happy, maybe if the Fang family can use some connections, you can easily get the position of the first deputy mayor."

As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. Zhang Ping's words immediately made Zhao Lichun think of something.

Zhao Lichun remembered that when his elder brother-in-law He Yuzhu left, he stuffed a pill into his pocket and told him that the pill could prolong his life and improve his martial arts skills.

At first, I didn't take it seriously at all and kept the medicine at home. Now I think that if I give this pill to the Fang family, I can get their family's protection and resources, and also take advantage of their family's huge network of relationships.

Then the position of first deputy mayor is basically as easy as taking candy from a baby, and it is almost certain to be obtained.

He also understood that Zhang Ping had been making fun of him and didn't want to help him.

When Zhao Lichun thought of this, he had an idea in his mind. He said again: "Deputy Secretary Zhang, I understand. Thank you for your reminder. I'll take my leave now."

After Zhao Lichun left, Zhang Ping cursed inwardly.

"I don't know what this is. An orphan with no background actually wants me to help him. He is just a toad wanting to eat swan meat."
