The pursuit of a position in officialdom

"As a government, our purpose is to serve the people wholeheartedly. In this Xiling incident, the safety of people's lives was in question, and that is because we did not do our job well. If we made a mistake, there is nothing to hide, and there is nothing wrong. Dare to report to the people. It is more terrible to make mistakes and not repent. With the continuous development of our country's economy and the continuous transformation of the social system, new problems and old contradictions are intertwined in the new situation, which requires our cadres to constantly adapt to the new situation. Only by constantly improving our abilities and training our capabilities can we adapt to the needs of development in the new era. Our Binzhou Municipal Government will also be committed to building a service-oriented government that is fair, just, transparent, rule-of-law, and people-satisfied. The people's satisfaction, approval and disapproval are the criteria for testing the effectiveness of the work. "

Li Wujiang's speech was very informative, and all the reporters sitting below were busy writing.

When it came to the question and answer session, the topic of the question was discussed in advance according to the previous preparations. However, after listening to Li Wujiang's speech, many reporters directly changed the question and pointed the finger at Li Wujiang.

"Mayor Li, how will the people who committed crimes in the Xiling incident be dealt with?"

“Dear journalists, our society is a society governed by the rule of law. Our country is now committed to implementing the rule of law. If we violate the law, we will deal with it strictly in accordance with the law. Of course, during the handling of cases, the public security organs will be open and transparent, and report the progress of the case in real time. However, the Xiling incident has also shown that our villagers have a weak sense of the rule of law. When dealing with the criminals, we will consider it as appropriate, and we will not detain those who can, in order to criticize and educate For the main purpose. Because the fundamental purpose of our work is to resolve the conflicts between the two villages and restore peace to them as soon as possible. At the same time, I also hope that our media friends will not disturb the lives of these people too much. I am still relatively new to the external environment and knowledge, and I hope that everyone can work together to create a good environment for the future of this village.”

"Mayor Li, the Xiling incident also exposed the government's dereliction of duty. How will we deal with these derelict officials next?"

"Cadres are the backbone of the people. We have failed to do our jobs well. This is our dereliction of duty. The Binzhou Municipal Standing Committee has held a meeting to study. Cadres who violated laws and disciplines or neglected their duties in this incident will be severely investigated and punished. , we will deal with it seriously, and no matter who is found, we will not let go. You can follow our relevant notifications.”

"Mayor Li, you just mentioned that the Xiling incident exposed some problems in the government's work to resolve mass conflicts at the grassroots level. Facing these new problems and new situations, what does the Binzhou City Government plan to do in the future?"

"This reporter asked a good question. Facing new situations and new problems, we cadres must take the initiative, take the initiative to attack, identify the problems, treat them differently, and implement precise measures. Especially in the face of intensified conflicts at the grassroots level and endless problems, we Binzhou City will start from the following aspects in the future. First, promote the construction of one police in every village. We all know that where there are police, there is security. We must lower the police force and promote full-time community police to make our communities more comfortable. The dedicated police can discover the contradictions of the masses in advance, resolve their disputes, and turn crackdowns into prevention. This is for the safety of our masses. Second, to promote joint prevention and joint treatment, what is joint prevention and joint treatment is to give full play to the township. The role of functional departments such as cadres, village cadres, police stations, and judicial offices is to twist these units and personnel into a rope to jointly strengthen the investigation and resolution of conflicts at the grassroots level. Third, to explore a new rural management system, we must start from the cadres of the agencies. , select a group of capable and responsible cadres to serve as first secretaries in remote, poor, and complex villages to assist the villages in handling village-level affairs and help villagers get rid of poverty and become rich.”

"Mayor Li, you just mentioned building a service-oriented government. What do you think a service-oriented government looks like?" Li Wujiang's speech today was very exciting, so Li Jun also seized the opportunity and asked what he wanted to ask. question.

"Service-oriented government is a modern government governance model that starts from social development and the common interests of the people, serves the people as its purpose, and assumes corresponding service responsibilities. Building a service-oriented government is the basic direction and important content of the reform of our country's administrative system. Specific details The purpose of building a service-oriented government is to serve the people wholeheartedly, whether it is deepening administrative streamlining and decentralizing power, comprehensively improving government efficiency, or standardizing administrative behavior and optimizing service processes, the construction of a service-oriented government focuses on the people. Issues of common concern to the people and the people’s demands for public services are the fundamental driving force for the construction of a service-oriented government.”

Chapter 510 The pride of Binzhou people stole the show

"Achieve adequate supply of public services in the effective management of the government. The two complement each other and synergize with each other, continuously enhancing the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security. Secondly, we must focus on the government's own construction. Can the construction of a service-oriented government achieve success? The effectiveness depends to a large extent on the level of the government's own administrative capabilities and the smoothness of the government's operating systems and mechanisms. Over the past two decades of reform and opening up, we have always focused on the theme of transforming government functions, strengthening the construction of service-oriented government systems and mechanisms, and targeting the government. In managing different matters, we are committed to managing the things that should be managed well, delegating enough power to the right, and providing the services that should be provided, so as to achieve the goal of building a service-oriented government in different periods. In addition, we must actively adapt to the conditions of the times. Change. Reform and opening up is not a smooth road, but has to go through various difficulties and obstacles. In the process of building a service-oriented government, we not only fully consider the world's conditions and national conditions, but also grasp key issues and make the government a better choice. Putting the transformation of functions in a more prominent position; and adhering to a positive, steady and step-by-step approach, encouraging local governments to conduct practical explorations, creating conditions for forming consensus, and creating conditions for continuing to deepen reforms, strengthen government information sharing, optimize government service processes, and empower the people. It makes things more convenient and faster, and also greatly improves the government’s credibility and execution capabilities.”

For the last chance to ask questions, Li Wujiang gave this opportunity to the reporter from Binzhou TV Station.

"Mayor Li, as the youngest mayor in Jining, what are your prospects for the future of Binzhou?" Fan Yuchan is a young and beautiful reporter from Binzhou Daily. Naturally, she can't resist a handsome young man like Li Wujiang. , proposed to Li Wujiang with excitement.

"Binzhou is a city with a long history and humanistic sentiments. It has been glorious in the past. As a new generation of Binzhou people, we have the responsibility and obligation to contribute our wisdom and strength to Binzhou's renewed glory. We, the Binzhou Municipal Government, are focusing on planning Binzhou The new reform and development will push Binzhou to make great strides with the attitude of seizing the day. In the next few years, we will build Binzhou around a garden city, a tourist city, a seaside resort city, an industrial city, and a port city, making Binzhou the most beautiful city in the country. We in Binzhou will be committed to building the largest free trade port in the north, relying on the natural advantages of Dongliang Port to build a billion-ton logistics terminal; relying on rich petrochemical resources to build the country's largest petrochemical equipment manufacturing base; relying on the traditional shipbuilding industry to build the Northeast The largest shipbuilding base; promote the development of modern high-tech industries and biological industries, build Binzhou into a leading and world-class city in the country, and continuously improve the happiness of Binzhou people. "

This press conference was properly turned into a swearing-in meeting for Binzhou's development by Li Wujiang. Not only did Binzhou steal the show, but it also made the young mayor the pride of the people of Binzhou.

No one expected that a press conference that was originally not expected by everyone would become a huge success. In the press, everyone saw a more open and transparent government and gave more praise to the Binzhou Municipal Government. In the government circles, some of Li Wujiang's new ideas and measures have been heatedly discussed. In particular, the concept of service-oriented government and the ideas of joint prevention and joint treatment have received huge response from various places. In the business world, Li Wujiang sent out invitations to companies all over the world, letting everyone see his ambitions.

Shen Yuehua did not leave after the inspection. She stayed in the hotel and waited for the final results of the press conference. The great success of the press conference made her ecstatic even in the hotel. She didn't know if it was because of Li Wujiang or something else.

After the Xiling incident came to an end, Li Wujiang felt relieved. He knew that Shen Yuehua had not left, so that night he took Shen Yuehua to Dongliang Port to ride the waves and admire the moon, welcoming the long-lost relaxation.

"Mayor Li, you are so awesome."

Seeing Shen Yuehua looking at him so affectionately, Li Wujiang was afraid that he could not control himself for a moment, so he jokingly said, "Mr. Shen, don't look at me like that, don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend."

"Wujiang, but right now I can't control my admiration for you. My feelings are like a flooded river and are out of control. What do you think I should do now?"

Li Wujiang originally wanted to tease Shen Yuehua, but he didn't expect to be teased by Shen Yuehua in return. Seeing Shen Yuehua acting like this, Li Wujiang knew that this girl knew that he was under too much pressure recently, and deliberately let him relieve the pressure. "Mr. Shen, thank you."

"Wujiang, how many things do you have in your head? Once something changes in your head, it will come out as great wisdom."

"There is no other way. I am just the person who has been given a great responsibility by heaven. If you follow me from now on, you will inevitably make money."

"Okay, this is what you said. I will follow you from now on. I believe you. Come, let's raise a toast together and congratulate Binzhou on successfully overcoming this disaster."

The two of them drank a little wine, and the breeze blew gently on the sea, and they soon became drunk.

Before Li Jun left Binzhou, he hoped to conduct an exclusive interview with Li Wujiang. As an old friend, Li Wujiang readily agreed. However, if you accept an exclusive interview with a major media such as Beijing Daily, you must report it according to the procedures. Li Wujiang communicated with Ge Jiande in advance. For such matters that did not involve the collective, Ge Jiande usually approved everything that should be approved.

Li Jun arranged the interview at the Binzhou TV station because the Beijing Daily had relatively few staff in Binzhou. Li Jun also specially invited Fan Yuchan, a beautiful reporter from Binzhou TV station, and others to help.

Fan Yuchan was ecstatic when she heard that it was Li Wujiang who was going to be interviewed. When she met Li Wujiang for the first time, she asked Li Wujiang to sign for her, which made Li Wujiang embarrassed. Chen Qingyu, the director of Binzhou TV Station, was so scared that she kept winking at Fan Yuchan, but the girl seemed not to see it.

However, Li Wujiang had seen a lot of big scenes. Seeing that the little girl was quite cute, he signed for her and stretched out his hand to shake hands with her. "Hello, little girl, I remember you. You asked the last question at the press conference, right? It was very good. What's your name?"

Fan Yuchan was so happy that she was stunned when she saw Li Wujiang shaking hands with her and talking. When Li Wujiang talked to her, she stared at him stupidly until her colleague poked her in the back, and she woke up. "Mayor Li, hello, my name is Fan Yuchan, and I'm a reporter from Binzhou TV Station."

"Okay, work hard and spread the beautiful image of our Binzhou." After saying that, Li Wujiang left.

Chapter 511 Sensational across the country, entering the national vision

"Mayor Li, these employees are too bold, we have not managed them well." Chen Qingyu, director of Binzhou TV Station, said.

"Director Chen, the news department needs a cadre who is full of vitality, vigor, keen vision and strong ability to see problems. For these young cadres, we should be more patient and give them more help."

Chen Qingyu felt relieved when he saw that Li Wujiang had no intention of blaming him. He took the opportunity to report the work of the TV station to Li Wujiang.

"The work of the TV station is good overall, but it must keep pace with the times, keep up with the times, listen to the voice of the people, and reflect the voice of the people. At present, Binzhou City is building a service-oriented government. Your TV station can focus on the difficulties and bottlenecks of the people's affairs, and run a program to expose the lazy, lazy, inaction and chaos of government departments. This can also reflect the role of your media as a mouthpiece."

Chen Qingyu was shocked by Li Wujiang's bold proposal. It seems that this mayor is really turning the knife inward. "Okay, we must do a good job of research on this matter, plan and implement it as soon as possible. Yuchan reporters are good at this kind of work, and our station will boldly use young people at that time." Chen Qingyu said the last sentence to Li Wujiang.

Li Wujiang certainly knew what Chen Qingyu meant. He thought he had taken a fancy to Fan Yuchan, so he pushed Fan Yuchan out. However, Li Wujiang did not say anything, just stared at Chen Qingyu for a few times and left.

Li Jun's interview with Li Wujiang was recorded very smoothly.

"Wujiang, thank you for your cooperation."

"Brother Jun, I can give you my life and property, you have to show mercy." Li Wujiang knew that Li Jun must have a purpose in shooting this exclusive interview, but he didn't know how to use him yet.

"Don't worry, as a brother, I can still cheat you, and maybe it can help Binzhou's development go further."

No one expected that two days later, the footage of Binzhou's press conference and the relevant content of Li Wujiang's interview appeared in Beijing News, and it took three minutes, and finally gave a high evaluation.

"Chenggong, this little guy is good. He has a unique vision and quick thinking. He can see the general situation of our country one step ahead, and quickly make adjustments and introduce relevant policies. He can be one step ahead in everything he does. This ability is not something that everyone can have." Zhao Tianyu, who was far away in Beijing, spoke highly of Li Wujiang.

"Yes, this guy can always surprise people in both business and politics. This kind of insight makes people have to admire. Their old Fang family really picked up a treasure." Zhao Chenggong also envied.

"Many people say that he is benefiting from the old Fang family. I think the old Fang family will benefit from him in the future. Qianlong has a good relationship with him. In the future, our old Zhao family will be handed over to you. This time you are going down, if you encounter any situation at work, you can also ask this kid for advice."

Mr. Zhao's words are a bit heavy. Zhao Chenggong is a deputy ministerial-level cadre, and he has to ask Li Wujiang, a department-level cadre, for advice. This is strange. And Zhao Chenggong is a proud child of heaven, but Zhao Chenggong did not deny it. After all, Li Wujiang also grew up step by step under his watch, and he is still very clear about Li Wujiang's ability.

Not only did Li Wujiang's familiar leaders in Jining Province congratulate him, but also his old colleagues and friends in Huayuan, Guangxia and other places. Li Wujiang's phone calls have been very popular during this period.

"Ouyang, what do you think of this young mayor Li now?" Liao Zonghan smiled and looked at the assistant secretary in front of him.

"Don't say that this guy is really good. He turned a bad thing into a good thing. This is not something that ordinary people can do. Is this kid lucky?"

"People who can create a precedent for press conferences will be lucky. You should wake up, girl. As the saying goes, there are always people outside the sky. This is enough to show that this young mayor is extraordinary. I think we need to set up an inspection team as soon as possible to conduct a field investigation in Binzhou."

Ouyang Wenjing said in surprise, "Mr. Mu, this is not the case. Binzhou just held a press conference. Why are we so anxious to go there? They should be more anxious than us."

"Ouyang, you should not just look at the surface of the problem, but also look at the essence of the problem. The Beijing media focused on the Binzhou incident and gave the young mayor so much footage, which proves that the Beijing city supports him. What do you think the next step will be if you can get the support of the leaders in Beijing? I believe that the document approving the establishment of a free trade port in Binzhou will be issued soon. Only by arriving in Binzhou can we show our strength. Sincerity can also give us more bargaining chips.”

Ouyang Wenjing quickly thought of a lot after listening to what Liao Zonghan said. "Then Mr. Liao, I'm going to prepare now."

With the end of the press conference, the Xiling incident also came to an end for the time being. However, how to deal with cadres who neglect their duties will soon be on the agenda.

Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Chang Youxin went to Li Wujiang's office to report on this matter.

"Secretary Chang, you are a rare visitor. Come here, this is a new cigarette given by a friend. I don't smoke much, so you can take it and smoke it." Li Wujiang handed a cigarette to Chang Youxin.

Chang Youxin is an old smoker, but as a leader of such a big city, he has never smoked anything. When Li Wujiang handed him a cigarette, he thought Li Wujiang was trying to please him, which made him feel a little shameless. However, when he looked closely and saw that it was a panda cigarette, his eyes stared unblinkingly. These are cigarettes specially provided by the leaders of the capital, and ordinary people cannot smoke them at all. I heard that provincial leaders also smoked them in packs, so Li Wujiang took one for himself. This panda smoke is a symbol of power.

Li Wujiang could see Chang Youxin's appearance at a glance, but he didn't say anything.

"Mayor Li, this is a high-end gadget of yours. I'll order one to taste, but I don't dare to take so many." Chang Youxin declined, but there was a bit of reluctance in his eyes.

"Secretary Chang, good cigarettes need to be smoked by people who know how to smoke them. I am a person who does not understand cigarettes. It would be a waste to put such good cigarettes here. You can help me clean up the inventory."

Seeing that Li Wujiang recommended it to him again, Chang Youxin didn't refuse. "Then I would like to thank Mayor Li. I still have a few jars of good wine there. Come to my place for a drink when you are free. Mayor Li, you have really brought glory to our Binzhou City this time. With your own strength, You turned crises into opportunities, and now your legend is spread throughout Binzhou.”

"Secretary Chang, I don't dare to say that. This is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of our Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. I am just the spokesperson on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. Secretary Chang is here today to see if there is any work that I need to do."

Chapter 512 Cadre management is the key

After Chang Youxin took Li Wujiang's panda cigarette, his attitude changed drastically, and he became more polite to Li Wujiang. "Mayor Wujiang, it's like this. The Xiling incident has been properly handled, but after all, someone needs to bear the consequences of this incident. Our comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission went to the grassroots level to conduct investigations and verifications. Now we have a preliminary opinion. Now To ask for your opinion.”

"Secretary Chang, the work of your Discipline Inspection Commission is independent. You just have to deal with it realistically. If you need to report to Secretary Ge, you can report to Secretary Ge as required. I don't need to participate in the handling of your Discipline Inspection Commission's case."

Chang Youxin is also in a dilemma. Although it is said that the Discipline Inspection Commission is independent in handling cases, many people are involved but they cannot handle it how they want. For example, the Secretary of the County Party Committee of Xiling County, the Captain of the Public Security Brigade of the Public Security Bureau, and others. These people had already brought their connections to him, and some leaders of the municipal party committee also approached him to intercede, hoping to be dealt with leniently. "Mayor Wujiang, after all, you personally handled the Xiling incident, and you also have a great say in this matter, so we want to seek your opinion."

Li Wujiang also saw Chang Youxin's embarrassment and said, "Secretary Chang, my opinion is to respect the opinions of your Discipline Inspection Commission and respect the facts. This matter has such a huge impact, not only we Binzhou citizens are watching, but the provincial government investigation team is also watching We are waiting for the handling opinion. I hope that our Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will handle it carefully. Of course, this incident involves not only the cadres of Xiling County, but also the cadres of Binzhou City. I think some matters can be brought to the Standing Committee for everyone to discuss. "

Li Wujiang's words reminded Chang Youxin that not everything has to be borne by himself. Since some people are not satisfied with the handling, let everyone talk about it, so that he will not offend anyone in the end. Then he expressed his gratitude to Li Wujiang and left Li Wujiang's office.

As soon as Li Wujiang left, Organization Minister Hou Yanli arrived behind. Hou Yanli mainly reported on the public election of secretary. The registration had ended and it should have been carried out long ago, but the matter was delayed due to the Xiling incident.

"Minister Yan Li, you can carry out this matter how you want it to be carried out. Just implement it according to the plan. There is no need to report everything to me."

"Mayor Li, you are an expert in this field. Only by asking for more instructions and reporting more can we reduce the occurrence of problems. And since we are choosing a secretary for you, we must be more serious and meticulous." Hou Yanli's eyes are now more Respect for Li Wujiang. Not everyone can be in Beijing News if they want to be, but Li Wujiang can be in it, which explains the problem.

"You are being polite when you say this. As long as we insist on a fair, fair and transparent operation process, I believe the results will satisfy all parties. By the way, Minister Yanli, there are many vacancies in Dongliang County and other places. We The city is now in a stage of great development. What considerations does the organizational department have in this regard? "Originally, the secretary was in charge of personnel, but the position in Dongliang County has been vacant for some time. Now that Dongliang Port wants to develop, a leader must be identified as soon as possible.

"Mayor Li, our organization department has also inspected some cadres for some vacant positions, but you know that the adjustment and appointment of cadres requires the study and decision of the Standing Committee." Hou Yanli said in a matter-of-fact manner.

"Okay, Secretary Ge is quite busy, you can report to him in time. You must know that for economic development and social progress, we must grasp the bull's nose of cadres, especially the work of the top leader. If the organization department selects the right person, it can drive certain development, otherwise it will cause a disaster. The work burden of the organization department is very heavy. You must train and select cadres of the new era according to the new situation and new requirements."

The Binzhou Municipal Standing Committee held a meeting to study the handling of the relevant responsible persons of the Xiling incident. Although Yang Songtao and others opposed it, under the toughness of Li Wujiang, it was decided to remove Fang Aimin from the post of secretary of the Xiling County Party Committee, remove Ma Jianchao from the post of county magistrate of Xiling County, and remove Lu Wenming from the post of captain of the Public Security Bureau's Security Brigade. In addition, other leaders in charge of Xiling County and township cadres were dealt with. At the same time, the provincial party committee also gave warnings to Ge Jiande and Yang Songtao respectively. So far, the Xiling incident has come to an end.

Li Wujiang originally planned to go back to Beijing to rest for two days, but he did not expect to receive a call from Liao Zonghan, saying that Huangheji Port Group was going to Binzhou to investigate investment. Li Wujiang had been waiting for Liao Zonghan's arrival. When he got the news, he was still excited. After all, he had done so much work and finally got some rewards.

"Secretary Ge, Huangheji Port Group is a well-known enterprise at home and abroad. If Huangheji Company can be introduced to our Binzhou, it will greatly promote the construction and development of Dongliang Port. At the same time, this is also a strong stroke of our introduction of foreign capital. I hope you can participate in related activities."

"Okay, Wujiang, as long as it is beneficial to the development of Binzhou, I will be at your disposal. I will do whatever you ask me to do." Although Ge Jiande was punished and in a bad mood, the thunder finally fell, and he was completely relieved.

What Liao Zonghan did not expect was that Li Wujiang personally went to Jiyang Airport to greet him. Binzhou does not have a direct flight to Jiangzhou, so Liao Zonghan and his party can only transfer to Jiyang.

"Mr. Liao, welcome to Jining for inspection and guidance. The people of Jining welcome you." Li Wujiang extended his hands enthusiastically.

"Mayor Li, you are so polite. How can I ask you to personally meet us at the airport? It's really troublesome for you." Liao Zonghan was very satisfied with Li Wujiang's attitude.

"Mr. Liao, our Binzhou City is vigorously creating a business environment. Investors and entrepreneurs are the masters, and we, the government functional departments, are the waiters. It is our duty to serve you."

"Mayor Li, let me introduce you. This is my assistant, Ms. Ouyang Wenjing."
