image of the government

Wu Hanwei came out of Gao Zhitang's office with a heavy heart. The short twenty-minute conversation made him feel a lot of emotions and he was sweating.

Wu Hanwei tried his best to suppress this heavy feeling in his heart. It's okay, it's really okay, everything will pass. Even though he comforted himself and pretended to be nonchalant, he couldn't hide the hesitation and fear in his heart, so that once

When he got to the office, he collapsed on the boss's chair. His mouth and tongue were dry, and he wanted to drink water. He picked up the cup, but couldn't drink it. As soon as he put the cup down, the phone on the desk rang.

At this moment, Wu Hanwei's face became even more ugly. The call came from the section number of the Municipal Party Committee. He seemed to be thinking about something, so he didn't pick it up in a hurry. After waiting for a while, the ringing still kept ringing, then he picked up the phone and asked a question knowingly:

"Which one?"

At the same time, the content of Mayor Gao's conversation emerged at this time, and the new mayor's attitude shocked and confused him.

The voice of the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office came quickly on the other end of the phone. Wu Hanwei was suddenly excited. He glanced at the door subconsciously, then glanced around and said, "Director Chen, what are your instructions?" He said this

There seems to be nothing wrong with the official cliché, but in fact, when he said this, he had already made a political choice in his heart, or in other words, Wu Hanwei had already made up his mind at this moment.

…

On the other side, Gao Zhetang watched his secretary disappear out the door. He couldn't help but frown and fell into a brief thought. After all, this person was arranged by the city government. Even if he didn't like it, he couldn't.

What a big move for such a little secretary.

Speaking of which, Gao Zhetang was not completely resistant to the secretary arranged by the office. On the contrary, Gao Zhetang had a good impression of Wu Hanwei. After these few days of contact, Wu Hanwei's performance also showed his qualities as a secretary and his savvy in doing things.

Flexible, thorough and meticulous in his work, and well-measured. As far as secretarial work is concerned, Wu Hanwei has no problem with the word "do".

After a while, Gao Zhetang's eyebrows relaxed naturally, and his mood suddenly became brighter. He was a person with strong execution ability, and he had to do many things by himself. In this case, no matter who served as his secretary, in fact,

There isn't much to do either.

Of course, Gao Zhetang decided to examine what Wu Hanwei was "thinking". Another major factor was that he was a foreign cadre with no foundation in Omi City, and the secretary was an important but low-level position, so he had to find it.

A 100% satisfied secretary is a big problem. After dealing with one Wu Hanwei, there is no guarantee that there will be other Li Hanwei, Zhang Hanwei...

For Gao Zhetang, he does not want to spend too much time and energy on such trivial matters. He is the mayor, the mayor of a prefecture-level city. There are many things to deal with at the moment, and they are all urgently needed for him to deal with.

For example, the next step is to participate in the TV station's "Dialogue with the Mayor" column.

This column program was a column program set up by Omi City on the TV station after the citizen hotline in the late 1990s when Omi City's economy was booming. Every week, the city government office dispatched a dedicated person to be on duty 24 hours a day to answer the citizen hotline.

All citizens of Omi City, whether they are citizens, farmers, employees or cadres, can raise any opinions and report any issues.

At that time, the city government emphasized that every opinion and every question on the citizen hotline must be recorded in detail, and then every Friday evening, the mayor on duty would directly talk to the citizens who raised their opinions on the TV station to answer the questions and implement them on the spot.

The situation was broadcast live on television at the same time.

When the "Dialogue with the Mayor" column was first established, with the strong support of the city government, it became so popular that it was not only the highest-rated program in Omi City, but also the program in nearby sister cities and even in and outside Koto Province.

A dozen urban areas that received the signal received live broadcasts with extremely high ratings.

In the words of the Omi City team at that time, we must be open and transparent, implement the reasonable opinions and suggestions of the broad masses of people, and let the people see clearly, whose problem is whose problem, and where the problem lies is the problem.

Where to investigate, speak with facts.

For this reason, this program has also been praised by the majority of people as the "Focus Interview" of Omi City TV. It is a program that people watch every issue.

It has been more than ten years since the Omi City Government established the "Dialogue with the Mayor" column. Although this column is still retained, today, the "Dialogue with the Mayor" has long lost its glory, especially in recent times.

In the past few years, the city government has also changed from its usual strong support attitude to limited support and appropriate avoidance.

It is not that the Omi Municipal Party Committee and Government have not considered canceling the "Mayor's Dialogue" program. Just two days ago at the mayor's office meeting, someone suggested to Gao Zhetang that it should be cancelled.

At the mayor's office meeting, Ning Guoxing, the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture, rural areas, and finance, said bluntly with passion and expressiveness: "... Among the much-criticized government behavior, squandering food and drink is a huge target.

,In fact, the waste of meetings is often ignored. People who look at the problem often believe that the cost of a meeting is zero because they do not have to pay extra to hold a meeting, but they forget that the people participating in the meeting are of special importance in the entire society.

Their role, their time, calculated according to their value, is a considerable amount. Of course, I am not trying to kill everyone with one stroke. In fact, many meetings are also necessary. The functions of the government are often passed through

Meetings of various names, large and small, come into play and form an impact, which in turn affects the politics, economy, culture and other aspects of the entire region..."

At that time, Gao Zhetang instinctively felt that Ning Xingguo's emotional speech must have richer meanings.

Sure enough, Ning Xingguo looked around the attendees, then his eyes fell on the executive deputy mayor, and continued to talk: "But there are also many unnecessary meetings. To give the simplest example, a meeting like "Dialogue with the Mayor", I

I feel that there is no value in existence. Think about a mayor or deputy mayor. Their value to a city should be no less than that of a corporate general manager with an annual salary of tens of millions. Then his unit time value should be

More than 10,000 yuan per hour. By analogy, the opportunity cost of a simple "dialogue with the mayor" in the city government may be close to more than 100,000 yuan. For fifty-two weeks a year, that's a full five million...

…”

After he finished speaking, half of the people in the meeting immediately agreed.

The next person to speak was Shu Bingshan, director of the Bureau of Land and Resources. His speech seemed to be unambiguous, but if you listen carefully, it sounded very purposeful. He said this: "Yes, yes, Mayor Ning Guo.

What he said made me feel a lot. Since the beginning of the year, everyone from the central government to the provincial party committee and our city have proposed holding short meetings to be pragmatic and effective and to avoid empty words. However, our Omi City is still implementing the spirit of the central government.

According to the current situation, the pace of "dialogue with the mayor" is not consistent with the spirit of the Provincial Party Committee's document on improving the work style of government agencies at the beginning of the year, nor is it suitable for the actual situation of our current government..."

Gao Zhetang can easily understand the echo of this fallacy. It is nothing more than the magnetic field of power at work. But what puzzles Gao Zhetang is that as a middle-level cadre of the organization, he can misinterpret the spirit of the central document into such a tune. But it makes him even more confused.

What makes me feel shocked and confused is why the television programs that have become so useless nowadays make people in this magnetic field so cautious.

The one-sided attitude at the mayor's office meeting made Gao Zhetang suddenly feel a huge increase in pressure, and he was attacked from both sides. Once again, he realized that he had underestimated the complexity of the Omi City team.

However, fortunately, this was just an office meeting of the mayor, not the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. In the end, Gao Zhetang decided against all opinions and based on "stability", he temporarily retained the "Dialogue with the Mayor" column, which also

It was because of that mayor's office meeting that Gao Zhetang had the idea to immediately appear on the "Dialogue with the Mayor" column.

When Gao Zhetang sat on the stool for the column's exclusive interview, his inner shock and confusion suddenly became clear. The questions raised by the citizens who were talking to him became more and more serious and sharp. The people no longer dared to be interested in those trivial matters, and no one was interested in them.

When those ridiculing and disgusting issues are raised in public, the opinions of the masses begin to focus on some big issues, such as leadership corruption, cadre work style, organizational adjustment, unemployment growth and education system reform.

The issue of medical reform comes up, and there are also the three chaos issues in the power agencies...

It’s no wonder that “Dialogue with the Mayor” makes many cadres restless.

That night, Gao Zhetang arrived at the recording site on time at a quarter past six. The person who hosted the "Dialogue with the Mayor" program was named Bai Jing. She was a young and beautiful woman in her early twenties, with a gentle and sweet voice, dignified and elegant manners, and very charming.

She is a female anchor, but the innocence and childishness on her face does not seem to have been completely erased.

The female anchor’s questions were out of proportion to her sweet voice. After finishing the simple routine, she immediately went straight to the topic: “Some citizens raised doubts about the demolition and land acquisition in the west of the city. Farmers and residents around the west of the city think that the compensation for demolition is too low.

The compensation for each mu of farmland is more than 20,000 yuan, less than 30,000 yuan..."

Gao Zhetang looked at Bai Jing with gentle eyes. Bai Jing seemed to be encouraged and continued, "As far as we know, the surrounding land auction prices now start at more than one million yuan per mu; the compensation for surrounding residents' housing per square meter is less than

Two thousand yuan, but the lowest housing price in the surrounding area is now more than three thousand yuan. These two compensation standards are obviously unreasonable. A farmer's family had several acres of land expropriated and received nearly 100,000 yuan in land expropriation compensation. It seems that

A large sum of money, but they have since lost the land they depended on for survival and the means of making a living. They still have elderly people to support and children to go to school. This 100,000 yuan is obviously a drop in the bucket. In this regard, we

I would like to ask Mayor Gao to talk about this issue..."
