The pursuit of a position in officialdom

“It is necessary to further tighten the procedures for formulating normative documents, and make public solicitation of opinions, risk assessment, legality review, and collective discussion and decision-making necessary procedures. It is necessary to expand the orderly participation of citizens, fully reflect the will of the people, and broadly build social consensus. Strictly standardize administrative law enforcement. The quality of administrative law enforcement is related to whether administration according to law can be truly implemented. We must continue to improve relevant systems and procedures to make government decision-making more scientific, democratic, and legal. level. Further promote the disclosure of government affairs, increase the disclosure of information by government departments in accordance with the requirements of "disclosure as the principle, non-disclosure as the exception", and continue to deepen the disclosure of financial budgets and final accounts, "three public funds", and government information. "

Li Wujiang said so much at once. He was worried that the leader would not be able to accept it, so he stopped. Mr. Yan was very receptive and encouraged him to continue talking.

"The key to building a service-oriented government is leading cadres, so we must strengthen the construction of political style. We must persist in improving work style, close contact with the masses, advocate hard work, practice diligence and thrift, oppose extravagance and waste, and overcome formalism and bureaucracy. We must be firm We must unswervingly oppose corruption, ensure that cadres are honest, the government is honest, and politics is clear. We must hold high the banner of anti-corruption and promote integrity, and continue to deepen the construction of government integrity and anti-corruption. We should improve the anti-corruption legal system, strengthen anti-corruption national legislation, strengthen the construction of laws and regulations within the party to promote integrity, make the legal system operate rigidly, and keep power in the cage of laws and systems to strictly investigate and deal with corruption cases. Maintain a high-pressure stance in punishing corruption, insist on investigating cases and punishing corruption, take investigating and handling major cases as the most direct and powerful measure against corruption, and severely punish corrupt elements in accordance with the law.”

Mr. Yan benefited a lot from Li Wujiang's explanation. "Wujiang, what you said is very good. But you know that our country is very big, with many people, and the situation in different places is different. It is not a simple matter to implement these policies and measures into actual work. This requires you These grassroots leaders continue to expand their thinking, seek truth from facts, and move forward boldly to create a correct path for the country’s transformation. Come on, young people.”

Mr. Yan encouraged Li Wujiang and asked him to go into battle lightly without any burden, which gave Li Wujiang great confidence. Of course, he also heard the meaning from the leader's mouth, that is, he hoped that he could do a good job in the pilot work in Binzhou City and sum up the experience, and then generalize it based on the actual situation in various places.

The death of Mr. Fang will definitely have an impact on the Fang family. After all, when Mr. Fang was alive, his prestige was so great that no one dared to touch anyone from the Fang family. Mr. Fang is gone, and the Fang family lacks its own people at the top, so it is bound to be missed by some. After all, the cake is so big.

"Dad, we have been oppressed by the Fang family for so many years. Is it time for us to take action?" Zhou Ziliang also rushed back to the capital, but he did not go to express condolences to Mr. Fang, but was plotting something.

"Ziliang, you shouldn't worry about these things. Someone will take action when it comes. You have been in Nandu City for more than two years, and your achievements in Nandu in the past two years are obvious to everyone. It's time to adjust."

When Zhou Ziliang heard what the old man said, he suddenly felt a little hopeful. He had stayed in Nandu for two years and had already had enough. If he could return to the capital as soon as possible, it would be a good choice.

Of course Mr. Zhou also saw Zhou Ziliang's expression and poured cold water on him again, "Don't be complacent. The boy who used to work with you is now attracting attention from all walks of life, especially the recently launched service-oriented government concept and press releases. The social system is an innovation and a useful exploration for the development of our country. I hope you can get down and make a real difference."

After the old man's funeral, Fang Zhiguo planned to have a talk with Li Wujiang before returning to Xishan. There were still many things waiting for him to deal with. Unexpectedly, Li Wujiang was called by the chief to talk. This was a great honor. Fang Zhiguo specifically postponed his trip so that he could wait to talk to Li Wujiang. The old man's absence is a big blow to the Fang family, especially the rising stars of the Fang family, who will have to bear more pressure. He had to have a serious talk with Li Wujiang.

After Li Wujiang came out from the leader's place, he received a call from Fang Zhiguo and rushed back without stopping.

"Come, sit down, Wujiang, thank you for your hard work. This time the old man is not here, you have done a lot of work. Talking to you so urgently today is related to the future development of our Fang family. When the old man was alive, he was our The Fang family's magic needle. Now that the old man is gone, our Fang family will definitely be affected. These words should not be said to you originally, but now that you have reached the level of department-level cadres, I think these words should be told to you. You are mentally prepared."

Li Wujiang sat there and did not take the initiative to speak, but listened carefully. What Fang Zhiguo said today was more serious for Li Wujiang. After all, many things involved high-level officials.

"Wujiang, you are a smart boy, and you are very clear about things in the officialdom. Political struggles in the officialdom involve a wide range of people and many levels. If you are not careful, you will fall into trouble. From now on, although the situation of the Fang family will change , but your development will not be great. Your path is very broad. You have intersections with the Zhao family, the Yan family, the Huang family, the Li family, and the Lu family. You have already blazed your own path. I want to remind you today. No matter how the political struggle goes, as long as you stick to your path and make more explorations that are beneficial to the development of the people and society, you will definitely gain a firm foothold."

Li Wujiang just nodded and said nothing more. He thought Fang Zhiguo's words were a bit exaggerated. Although Mr. Fang's death will have an impact on Fang's family, it won't have such a big impact. But soon he felt unprecedented pressure.

In order to thank Zhao Qianlong, Wang Shaohong and others for their help during the old man's death, Li Wujiang specially arranged a banquet to express his gratitude to these friends. It can be said that enemies never get together. I met Zhou Yuanhua, Zheng Xiaohu and their entourage at the hotel Li Wujiang. Because of Fang Shuxin's incident, Zhou Changyuan held a grudge against Li Wujiang and could not let it go all these years. Therefore, when his cousin Zhou Ziliang came to Nandu City to serve as the municipal party committee secretary, he asked Zhou Ziliang to take some measures against Li Wujiang. It is a pity that he My cousin wasn't much help. With the old man of the Fang family protecting him all these years, he didn't dare to touch Li Wujiang. Today, he met Li Wujiang again, and the old memories made him angry again.

Chapter 517 It’s better to enjoy the shade behind the big tree

"Oops, who did I think it was? It turned out to be Mayor Li D. He is already the mayor of a city at a young age. It seems that it is really easy to enjoy the shade behind the big tree." Zhou Yuan spoke with a strange tone.

Zhao Qianlong heard this and was about to go up to deal with this guy, but was held back by Li Wujiang. "Director Zhou, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you have made a lot of progress. Look at how fast Secretary Ziliang has improved. You should also learn from the good."

The last thing Zhou Yuan wanted to hear was that he was not good enough. When comparing him to Zhou Ziliang, Li Wujiang stabbed him in the heart. "It's not your turn to worry about the Zhou family's affairs. You should think about your old Fang's family's affairs. Today is different from the past. I advise you to go back and forth wherever you go. This capital is not your place to stay."

"I don't like hearing what Director Zhou is saying. In such a big capital, I can come and go freely, and I can do whatever I want based on my ability. I don't want some people to take advantage of the merits of my ancestors."

"Lingya, there will be a day that makes you uncomfortable sooner or later. Let's go, Xiaohu." Zhou Yuan looked at Li Wujiang and left with Zheng Xiaohu angrily.

"Brother Jiang, are you okay? This guy is too arrogant. I'm going to find someone to deal with this guy." Zhao Qianlong asked with concern.

"Qianlong, we are not gangsters, how can we use such methods? Since he wants to fight with me, he will show some real skills." Li Wujiang said without any care.

"Brother Jiang, if anything happens in the future, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will never look back as a brother."

Li Wujiang was very touched by Zhao Qianlong's words. Having such good friends around him made him worry a lot less. He patted Li Wujiang on the shoulder and said to continue drinking.

"Master Zhou, this Li Wujiang is too arrogant. He simply doesn't take you seriously." Zheng Xiaohu hated and feared Li Wujiang, so he was angry in front of Zhou Yuan.

"You have no place to speak here. Li Wujiang thought he had the support of the Fang family. Now that Mr. Fang is gone, I think he can still run around for a few days. One day I will make him kneel down and beg me."

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, he is not even worthy of carrying your shoes. Someone as arrogant as him will have a bad end sooner or later. Mr. Zhou, there are a few new girls in heaven and earth. I have already made arrangements. I will take you to go to the store." Put out the fire.”

When Zhou Yuan heard what Zheng Xiaohu said, he followed Zheng Xiaohu happily with a lewd smile.

Li Wujiang originally planned to go back to Binzhou directly, but thinking that he was already in the capital, he went to the National Development and Reform Commission to inquire about the latest progress in the construction of a free trade port in Binzhou City. Lu Donghui accompanied the leader to investigate, and he found Du Zongxian. Although Du Zongxian had objections to Li Wujiang before, he has become more enthusiastic towards Li Wujiang since he learned about the relationship between Li Wujiang and Lu Donghui.

"Mayor Wujiang, regarding the construction of a free trade port in Binzhou City, I also heard some gossip from the leaders of the committee some time ago. The committee will take the lead in organizing various departments to conduct on-site research and inspections in Binzhou City, and then make a final decision."

"Director Du, you have troubled yourself with this matter. When will you arrive in Binzhou? We must thank you on behalf of the people of Binzhou."

"You're so polite. I'm from Jining. It's okay to worry about things in my hometown. Besides, I also want to thank you, Mayor Li, for taking care of me in the capital. These are all procedures for ministries and commissions to organize surveys and inspections. These procedures are all Let’s go, I believe it will be soon. Binzhou will regain its glory under the hands of Mayor Wujiang.”

After finishing his business in the capital, Li Wujiang rushed back to Binzhou. This return to Beijing has been delayed for more than ten days. There is still a lot of work waiting for Li Wujiang to handle in Binzhou.

As soon as Li Wujiang arrived at the office, Ma Jianchao followed him in.

"Jianchao, what are you doing here today?" Now that Ma Jianchao has been dismissed from his post, there is no place to be arranged for the time being, so Li Wujiang calls him by his first name.

"Mayor Li, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm just here to report to you my recent thoughts and work situation."

Li Wujiang smiled inwardly. This guy said it well. The organization didn't assign him any work. What work could he report? However, it was good that he didn't lie down after being frustrated. "Okay, tell me about the recent situation."

"Mayor Li, I have been reflecting deeply recently. I didn't consider the problems long-term enough in my past work, didn't put my identity in my work, lacked initiative, and couldn't get along with the people, which eventually led to a passive situation in my work. I made up my mind to make serious corrections in the future."

Ma Jianchao's words were quite sincere and profound. He didn't want some leaders to be perfunctory. "Okay, it means that the organization's asking you to go home and reflect during this period is still effective. Our cadres are not afraid of making mistakes, but they are afraid of not being able to recognize their mistakes. What do you think about your future work?" Li Wujiang didn't want to kill people with one stick. The treatment of Ma Jianchao in the Xiling incident was a bit heavy, but he had to do so because of the situation. He observed Ma Jianchao and found that this cadre still had some merits. He didn't back down at the critical moment. This is the responsibility of a cadre.

"Mayor Li, I will follow the organization's arrangements. Even if I have to start from a small clerk, I will never complain."

"Okay, you should report to Secretary Ge more often when you have time, and listen to the organization's arrangements at ease."

Ma Jianchao is a smart man. After listening to Li Wujiang's words, he knew that there must be room for easing his problems. As long as Li Wujiang is willing to help him, his comeback is just around the corner.

Li Wujiang originally wanted to report to Ge Jiande that he was back, and the organization minister Hou Yanli came over. This minister has been coming to Li Wujiang a little frequently recently. Originally, many things did not require her to report in person, but she always did it herself, under the pretext of being afraid of reporting to Li Wujiang incorrectly and delaying work.

"Mayor Li, this is the result of this public election. We have completed the written test, interview, and assessment. These five comrades have performed very well. They can now look forward to your call."

"There are too many good comrades, but unfortunately there are limited positions. I really hope that these comrades can get suitable positions." Li Wujiang has actually received several calls asking him to be his secretary, saying that someone wants to be his secretary, which makes Li Wujiang a little embarrassed. It's a good thing to be willing to be his secretary, but it's difficult to get through the back door.

"Yes, you don't know if you don't select. Through the selection, I found that there are many excellent cadres at our grassroots level. Through this public election, our Organization Department has also summed up some experience. In the future, the relevant departments of the Municipal Party Committee can take out some positions and select excellent grassroots cadres through public elections. This is also an incentive for grassroots cadres, and it can also activate the work enthusiasm of comrades in the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government." Hou Yanli said with emotion. Through this public election, she really saw the charm of public election activities.

Chapter 518 Personnel Adjustment, Demonstrating Personal Authority

"Minister Yan Li's idea is good, and it can be applied to other situations. I suggest that the Organization Department summarize this experience well, and then send a copy to each Standing Committee member so that everyone can learn from it. Society is changing, and our organization's way of selecting and employing people is also changing in real time. This is keeping pace with the times, and this is the organizational employment reform in the new era. You arrange for the comrades in the Organization Department to notify these five people to come to the municipal government tomorrow. I will meet them and then decide who to keep."

"Okay, Mayor Li. I have also reported to Secretary Ge recently about the personnel adjustment you mentioned last time. Now there are relatively large vacancies in the district and county-level teams in our Binzhou City, which has also affected the development of the local area. Secretary Ge said that after you come back, the Standing Committee will be convened to study this matter."

"Okay, in short, your Organization Department must do a good job in employing people and select capable and responsible cadres to suitable jobs."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Li Wujiang also sighed. People's destiny often changes in an instant. If Li Wujiang did not provide this platform for those who participated in the public election this time, perhaps those who work at the grassroots level will stay at the grassroots level for their entire lives. This public election gave them the opportunity to make a breakthrough.

"Zhongyu, I see that you are not very old, but you have already served as the head of a township. What do you think of your time working in a township?"

Ji Zhongyu looked at the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as himself and was already a department-level cadre. This was his role model. Thinking of this, he was somewhat excited. "Mayor Li, I have been working in grassroots townships for three years. The deepest impression I have of the grassroots is that the conditions are very difficult, the people have a hard life, and the cadres' work is not easy."

"Oh, then you can talk about these three aspects in detail." Li Wujiang was attracted by Ji Zhongyu's words. Most cadres would sing praises to him, but Ji Zhongyu was not like that. He was either an alternative or a down-to-earth person.

"Although our country's economy has developed in recent years, and the people's suffering from cold and hunger has been greatly improved, our infrastructure is still very backward, transportation conditions are not convenient, and the living environment needs to be improved, especially in remote areas. People still rely on the mountains for food and the weather for food. The people's income can barely meet their lives, and housing, medical care, education and other aspects are still very backward. Of course, our grassroots cadres are not easy either. There is only one needle at the top and thousands of threads below. The work from top to bottom must eventually take root at the grassroots level, but we have few grassroots staff, poor working environment, and lack of funding. In particular, there are many old cadres and comrades who cannot adapt to the requirements of the new situation and new tasks." Ji Zhongyu, who was a little nervous at first, was not nervous anymore when talking about grassroots work.

"So what direction do you think we should work towards in the future?"

"Mayor Li, if we want to change the current situation, I think we need to do a good job in two aspects, one is development and the other is cadres. Only when the economy develops can people's livelihood improve; only when we grasp the development of cadres can the economy develop and people's livelihood issues be solved."

"Okay, go ahead."

Li Wujiang did not make any comments on Ji Zhongyu, which made him uneasy. He thought that what he said did not meet the expectations of the leaders, which led to Li Wujiang's dissatisfaction with him. At this time, he was a little discouraged and thought of his good friend Gao Qiming in Binzhou.

"Qiming, do you think I lost the election this time?" Ji Zhongyu was in a bad mood and drank two more glasses.

"Zhongyu, you are too stupid, why do you say these things. Leaders like to hear good things, but you pick some bad things to say." Gao Qiming and Ji Zhongyu are college classmates, but Gao Qiming's family conditions are better, and he was assigned to the Municipal Party Committee Political and Legal Committee after graduation.

"I'm telling the truth. Can't I tell the truth?"

"The truth is easy to tell but not pleasant to hear. You have to choose the right occasion for everything you do. Don't say things that you shouldn't. But don't be discouraged. I'm not as good as you. At least you got the interview and met Mayor Li. I didn't even pass the written test. Besides, I heard that among the five of you who entered the assessment, several people are using their connections to become Mayor Li's secretary. So many times, it's not that you are incompetent, but that the social relationship is too complicated." Gao Qiming comforted Ji Zhongyu, and he also had a little secret joy in his heart. Although the two were good friends in college, Ji Zhongyu was a top student and always suppressed him. Now that the two have entered the workplace, he finally suppressed him. If Ji Zhongyu is selected as the mayor's secretary at this time, then his sense of superiority will be gone.

"If I had known, I would not have participated in this public election."

"Don't think so. At least this public election proved your ability. When you return to your county, the leaders will pay more attention to you."

Li Wujiang received a call from Cao Minglou, saying that Jiangzhou and Binzhou have been approved to establish a friendly city, and asked Binzhou to do a good job of docking with Jiangzhou.

Li Wujiang called Ma Deming as soon as possible. "Uncle-in-law, thank you for your support for our Binzhou work."

"Wujiang, we are a family, and we should support your work. You will be the pillar of the old Fang family in the future, and we will all rely on you."

Li Wujiang heard a hint of decadence from Ma Deming's mouth, which surprised Li Wujiang a little. This is not Ma Deming's tone of voice. However, Ma Deming did not say anything, and Li Wujiang did not ask much. Ma Deming said that he would personally lead a team to Binzhou City next week, and there would also be an investment inspection team from Jiangzhou City. This was considered a big gift for Li Wujiang.

Ma Deming is not only the secretary of the Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee, but also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, while the secretary of the Binzhou Municipal Party Committee is a department-level cadre. Ma Deming is coming to Binzhou, so we need to invite provincial leaders to attend. Li Wujiang hurried to Ge Jiande's office to report.

"Binzhou and Jiangzhou are establishing friendly city relations. This is a big deal. We must make arrangements in advance to ensure that everything goes well. Wujiang, you will arrange the specifics. I will invite the provincial party committee leaders." Li Wujiang didn't report how he knew Ma Deming was coming, and Ge Jiande didn't ask. He believed that Li Wujiang would not falsify such a big thing.

"Secretary Ge, it is a big deal that Binzhou and Jiangzhou can establish friendly cities. If we publicize it well, it can drive the development of our Binzhou to a further step. I have a suggestion. Can we hold a grand launching ceremony at that time and invite well-known media at home and abroad to report on this event in full."

Ge Jiande admired Li Wujiang's keen awareness and his ability to seize opportunities to promote Binzhou at any time. "Wujiang, you have a good idea. You make suggestions and let the propaganda department do the specific work. Wujiang, your secretary election activity is very lively. How is it going now? You can't be without a secretary all the time."

Chapter 519 Choosing a good secretary means being responsible for yourself

"Yes, it's really not smooth to do work without a helper around me. However, the public election held by the Organization Department this time was very successful. I met the comrades who were shortlisted separately. These comrades are very excellent, which makes me feel torn."

Seeing Li Wujiang's embarrassment, Ge Jiande smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Mayor Wujiang would also encounter a hot potato."

"There is no way. They are all good materials. The palm and the back of the hand are all flesh. This shows that we have many excellent cadres in Binzhou. We must create good conditions and a good environment for these cadres so that they can contribute their wisdom in suitable positions."

"Wujiang, speaking of cadre work, I asked the Organization Department to find out the bottom some time ago. At present, there are a lot of vacancies in cadre positions in various districts and counties in Binzhou. In particular, the main leading cadres in Dongliang County, Xiling County, and Xindu District have been vacant for a long time, which is not conducive to the development of current work. I suggest that relevant personnel adjustments be studied as soon as possible."

"Secretary Ge, you are the secretary, and you still need to coordinate and grasp the personnel work. I fully support your work."

Li Wujiang's statement made Ge Jiande quite satisfied. Personnel adjustments are of great importance. If Ge Jiande's will is not passed at the meeting, it will undermine his authority as the municipal party secretary. Now the power of the old-school personnel in Binzhou is still very strong, and at this time Ge Jiande needs to win over Li Wujiang.

Ji Zhongyu drank too much yesterday. When he woke up, he was ready to pack up and leave Binzhou and return to his work unit. At this time, he received a notice asking him to go to the Organization Department to handle the formalities immediately. He was stunned at first, and then jumped up happily. The sudden happiness made him unable to accept it all at once. He tidied himself up and immediately reported to the Organization Department. When he arrived at the Organization Department, he was received by the Deputy Minister of the Organization Department, Lou Xingguo, which he would never dare to think about normally. The Deputy Minister of the Organization Department is a person that the county party secretary and the county magistrate flatter. They didn't expect to personally receive him, a small section-level cadre.

"Comrade Zhongyu, congratulations, you deserve the public election this time."

"Thank you, Minister Lou, for your care."

"You are wrong to say this. You will be the person next to Mayor Li in the future. We will need your support for our work in the future."
