That night, Gao Zhetang couldn't sleep for a long time. His heart was full of doubts and worries. A deep loneliness and desolation strangled the heart of the acting mayor of Omi City.

While Gao Zhetang was tossing and turning alone in a room of more than 20 square meters, his wife Su Ting was enjoying a night of singing and dancing.

In comparison, Su Ting, the deputy director of the Omi City Local Taxation Section Office, seems more like the mayor of Omi City. In three to five days, her position in the unit has been stabilized. Not only her subordinates took the initiative to get close to her, but also the unit

The bureau-level cadres also paid meticulous attention to her work. In this way, Su Ting felt like a daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law, and she felt indescribably comfortable in her heart. It was not only comfortable, but also gratifying.

This comfortable and greasy feeling made Su Ting feel so unsatisfied. The lights in the Bolle Gate were bright, the laughter was loud amidst the noise, people with low eyebrows and submissive eyes were surrounding, and the sounds of compliments and flattery were endless. The heating, the smoke

The smell of air, alcohol, breath, and different tempers blended together, making the smell in the box very unusual, but also very exciting.

Su Ting opened her ears, grinned, and listened happily. She slowly began to feel slightly smoked. Her heart felt light and airy, as if she was lying on feathers and floating in the air.

Su Ting was floating in mid-air. At first, she felt extremely comfortable and complacent, looking at the mountains. But after floating for a while, she suddenly realized that something seemed not quite right, something was not right.

Too right?

Su Ting used her brain to think carefully, and finally figured out that something was not right. It came from the frivolous feeling floating in the air. The frivolous feeling made her feel dangerous, and she felt that she might fall off the feather at any time and fall.

The danger of being shattered to pieces.

The word "pengshu" suddenly came to Su Ting's mind, and she thought of "pengshu".

Su Ting shuddered! Then she pressed her hands on the sofa and used an excuse to go to the bathroom. She felt that she needed to calm down.

Chen Ju followed in and said: "Sister Su, there is one thing I forgot to tell you, which is to ask you to buy shares of Omi Steelmaking Group."

Su Ting looked at the apologetic office director with some shock. At the same time, Su Ting felt her face getting hot. Although both of them had been working in the system for more than ten years, the bank account numbers had not actually increased much.

.

Seeing this, Chen Ju seemed to see something, so she explained with a smile, "When the steelmaking plant was being restructured, in order to show support for the restructuring work, the municipal party committee and the government had cadres from various city agencies and units purchase the stocks of the steelmaking plant.

, it is to be completed as a line of political tasks, and there are corresponding standards based on the grade and position of the cadres..."

What Chen Ju said is definitely not a lie. At that time, the municipal party committee and the government did regard the purchase of steel mill stocks as a political task, and even assigned it to each unit, so specific that everyone had a target, but these were all three years ago.

Yes, things are very different now.

Although the Omi Steelmaking Group's stock has not yet been listed on the market, it has been fetched for more than seven yuan on the black market, and the supply exceeds demand. If others want to buy it, they may not be able to buy it, but there are exceptions to everything.

Su Ting was considered a special case. After her appointment was announced, but before she reported to the Local Taxation Bureau, the director specifically told Chen Ju to remember this matter. However, there were so many things going on these days that Chen Ju almost forgot about it.

"Must I buy it?" Su Ting asked cautiously.

"Of course not. Although it was a task at the time, it is not needed now." Chen Ju said with a smile, "Whether you buy it or not, and how much you want to buy, all depends on your wishes, Sister Su."

When Su Ting heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say perfunctorily, "I'll go home and discuss it with Lao Gao."

But before Su Ting could say anything, Chen Ju continued to add, "Of course, the price is still face value."

Su Ting was stunned for a long time, and swallowed the words in her mouth. She concealed her joy. She had heard about the stock of Omi Steelmaking Group in her work unit, and she was interested in holding Omi Steelmaking Group at that time.

She was jealous of her colleagues who were working on the original stock of the City Steelmaking Group. Now that such a good thing had happened to her, how could she miss it? However, at the same time, she became wary. At this time, she could still buy it at the price three years ago.

, a discerning person will know that there must be something fishy involved, and if they are investigated in the future, it will not be regarded as bribery, but at least it will be a violation of discipline.

In the dispute between reason and temptation, temptation has the upper hand, but it is not a one-sided situation. But one thing is certain that if Su Ting turns a blind eye to this once-in-a-millennium opportunity, she will not be reconciled to it, and she cannot do it.

So she asked cautiously: "Is this appropriate? I heard that although the steel mill's stock has not yet been listed, it has been sold for more than 7 yuan on the black market. I bought it at this price now, and I feel uneasy.

.”

"Sister Su, how can you look at the problem like this!" Chen Ju became anxious when she heard what Su Ting said. She knew very well that this matter was not a political indicator for Su Ting, but it was a political indicator for her.

political tasks.

Chen Ju then said earnestly, her tone seemed to be persuading, as if criticizing: "How can you use the black market to measure it? For example, what was the exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB in the past? What was the black market price? Is it because of this?

With the existence of the black market price, our central bank must implement the black market exchange rate of the US dollar? Obviously not! At any time, the black market is attacked, which not only interferes with the normal economic order, but also cannot be used as the basis for our economic activities..."

When Su Ting heard these high-sounding and justifiable arguments, her face immediately turned red, and she seemed to have some kind of answer in her heart: "Okay, Sister Ju, I'll go back and report to our guy immediately."

That night, Su Ting returned home, kicked off her high heels, threw away her satchel, ran to the bedroom, opened the drawer, took out her bankbook, and secretly calculated, turning a blind eye to the sleeping Gao Zhetang...

A week passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Gao Zhetang was recalling the people and things Zhou Hanlin described to him. The thoughts in his mind became clearer and clearer, but the haze in his heart deepened day by day. He had to accept a fact:

Omi City's power is highly concentrated, forming an official ecological chain with honor and disgrace.

The situation in Omi City was more complicated than Gao Zhitang imagined. At the same time, he also deeply felt the exhaustion and helplessness of fighting alone.

As the deputy secretary of the Omi City Party Committee and the acting mayor, it seems from various indications that he, as the acting mayor, only has nominal power, and his authority to issue orders and prohibitions can be described as just talk on paper. To put it bluntly, he is only in name only.

The acting mayor basically does not have the prestige and power that a chief executive should have.

The heads and heads of those municipal agencies and bureaucracy are like self-respecting princes. Although they will not blatantly violate some of his orders, they will basically delay and perfunctory in the same rhythm.

Last week's executive meeting is a good example. The engineering headquarters was set up immediately after the executive meeting, but in the past few days, it seems that no substantive work progress has been made! This is a painful reality, and it is deeply felt.

Feel the exhaustion and helplessness of fighting alone.

It's not that Gao Zhetang has never thought about breaking this situation, but he came to Omi City alone and established his own direct lineage team in a short period of time. This was more difficult than saving up private money without telling his wife...

There is often a cliché in government work that "such-and-such work is on the right track." It seems that starting from this day, Gao Zhetang's work as acting mayor has also officially entered a certain track.

The person who coined this sentence intentionally or unintentionally revealed an objective phenomenon: almost all government work has some kind of track. Although this seems to ensure a certain direction and safety, it is also a restriction, just like a train.

It can be predicted and determined as to its origin, route, and end point, thus lacking some personality and originality and becoming more conservative.

In fact, this is a common phenomenon for a long time, and it is likely to continue for a long time. Of course, as a certain negative phenomenon of this phenomenon, it can be called "derailment".

A common saying is that if you don't understand the rules and don't play by the rules, you will naturally be regarded as an outlier in the officialdom. To this day, the new mayor is still being observed by all the officials of Omi City, big and small, waiting for his success.

Tricks and routines, Omi's political arena remains as calm as ever.

After another two days of such peaceful days, Gao Zhetang briefly exchanged opinions with Secretary Liu of the Municipal Party Committee, saying that he wanted to conduct on-site research and inspections in the four counties and one city under his jurisdiction to understand the situation. In order not to be a formality and just look at the flowers, he

Set this time as one week.

This proposal was affirmed and supported by Secretary Liu of the Municipal Party Committee. He said: "Zhetang, what you said is good, and the Municipal Party Committee will definitely support it strongly. We will go to the localities to understand the situation. From the perspective of our future decisions, this survey

It is very necessary. I think this time can be arranged more generously, I think it will only take two weeks."

Gao Zhetang was not surprised by Secretary Liu Yucheng's proposal. After all, the city's two sessions will be held in two months. As a mayor elected by the organization, in addition to the guarantee of the organization, he also needs the support of grassroots cadres. Only

With the support of the cadres below, future work will be carried out easily.

Therefore, Gao Zhetang readily accepted Liu Yucheng's proposal. In fact, he had no reason to reject Secretary Liu's proposal. In fact, his previous consideration was not appropriate. The time for the five local counties and cities under his jurisdiction was too short.

, it's just a formality, it's just a quick glance, and it doesn't understand some minor issues.

"Zhitang, the situation in Omi City is complicated and we must not take it lightly." Liu Yucheng said thoughtfully, but his expression gave people a casual feeling.
