Chapter 570: Curtain Call

ldn't remain calm at all: "Secretary Kong, some people want to kill us!" Hearing this, Kong Tianyou also became tense and serious. He asked, "What's the situation Director Qian, first smoke a cigarett...Xiao Zheng naturally didn't know, and said directly: "Minister Sima, I don't know..." 。Because not long ago, I and our county Party Secretary Jin Jianqiang comrade, came to participate in the cadres talk. 。"Not long after, I'm able to organize a meeting with Minister Sima again. To have such an honor of meeting with him is truly a delight for me, but I must confess, I'm unsure what task Minister Sima intends to entrust me with"

Xiao Zheng’s words were laced with sincerity beneath the veneer of flattery. 。Sima Yue was also very comfortable listening. 。At the last meeting on Jiangzhong's assistance to Ninggan, hosted by Lu ZaiXing, Sima Yue clearly felt that Xiao Zheng, a young man, was capable, compassionate, and eager to make a difference. 。At that time, Sima Yue had a high regard for 。Today, as soon as Xiao Zheng spoke those few words, Sima Yue felt that Xiao Zheng was articulate again. 。 Sima Yue smiled and said, “Today, it's not about handing in a task, but about chatting with you. " 。County governance is the cornerstone of national governance. Our country has had this saying since ancient times: "When counties and principalities are well governed, the whole country is peaceful." 。So, in this round of cadre adjustments, the appointments and removals of the county Party Secretary and County Mayor were made after careful consideration and repeated deliberations. 。This time the province has appointed you as the County Magistrate of Anxian, which is also a full expression of their trust in you. 。 Sima Yue was not eager to get to the point. Instead, he was like drawing water into a canal, gradually leading it and gently guiding it, calmly and unhurriedly, in order to achieve a natural flow. 。This is Sima Yue's skillful use of tactics and methods. 。Xiao Zheng also vaguely felt Sima Yue's admiration for him, and his heart was slightly grateful. He said: "Thank you for the trust and entrustment of the organization." 。" Sima Yue smiled again and said, "Actually, after the provincial committee meeting, I was going to personally talk with you county party secretaries and county chiefs. But because there are too many cadres and time is tight, I had to ask our deputy minister and department officials to talk to you instead." 。Xiao Zheng remembered very clearly that the person who had spoken to him at the time was a member of the provincial Party Committee Organization Department and a cadre. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Minister Sima, the department of organization at the provincial committee is already a big leader to us." 。He has already represented the department and made our requirements clear to us. We will also implement them according to the requirements of the provincial committee and the provincial committee's organization department. 。I still remember that the department leaders once put forward four requirements for me: "Strengthen political study, take the initiative to shoulder responsibilities, grasp Anxian's characteristics, and be honest in work and conduct." I will definitely implement them well. 。On these four points, Xiao Zheng blurted out without looking at his notebook or thinking hard about it. It can be seen that Xiao Zheng had memorized these things in his mind from the beginning. 。In Sima Yue's view, this at least indicated three points: First, Xiao Zheng paid great attention to this. Many officials came to participate in the talks. The leaders said what they said, listened and considered it, but the next day they forgot about it as if it never happened. But Xiao Zheng was different. 。

Second, he has an excellent memory. Some people work hard and write down every word their leader says in their notebooks, but when they need to use it, they have to flip through the notebook, appearing diligent but lacking natural talent; third, he takes superiors seriously. He doesn't take his conversations with department heads lightly just because they are not high-ranking officials. He believes that a department head represents the organization and the party, demonstrating high political acumen.

"The fact that you remember the details of our last conversation so accurately shows that the talks with cadres were very effective." 。" Sima Yue nodded in satisfaction, took another sip of tea, and then said: "However, the talks with the cadres that time were all relatively general content." 。Today, I reached out to you because I want to talk about something more personal, specifically about your personal growth. 。When an organization minister talks to you about personal growth, it's like they're laying out a roadmap for your career development as a cadre member. It's truly inspiring. 。Xiao Zheng's spirits also lifted, he replied: "Thank you Minister Sima for your concern, I am all ears." 。 Sima Yue said, "You're so young and already at the county magistrate position. You're on the fast track for career growth." 。You are among the outstanding young cadres in our province and a key object of our focus for development. 。“The weight of this statement is very heavy. How could a ministerial-level official speak to a county magistrate so casually Xiao Zheng was quite surprised.” 。Could it be that a certain leader spoke up for me in front of Minister Sima Who could that leader be Could it be Secretary Lu Zaihang or Xiao JingyuXiao Zheng said, "I will definitely repay the organization's trust in me by doing my work well." 。"Sima Yue said, “I believe you can..." 。"By the way, Mayor Xiao, have you resolved your personal issues" Xiao Zheng was taken aback again. Why would Minister Sima ask about his personal matters But then he thought about it and it didn't seem so strange. It's normal for a ministerial-level official to understand an official not just by their work performance but also their personal life and family situation. 。Moreover, the last time I tried to promote the county magistrate, my promotion was put on hold for a while because of Chen Guangming's report. 。Therefore, it's not surprising that Minister Sima cares about this matter. 。Xiao Zheng shook his head honestly and said, “Not yet.” 。" Sima Yue then asked, "What is your relationship with Chen Hong, the director of the Organizational Department and Office of the Jingshi Municipal Party Committee"

Sima Yue's topic suddenly jumped to Chen Hong, and Xiao Zheng immediately became alert. " 。Yesterday, Chen Hong even asked me to get back together with her, and I rejected her. Could it be that Chen Hong went to the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department again to report me, so the Minister of Organization came to talk to me personally This does make sense. 。。I'm just asking about your personal situation. 。It can be said with certainty that since the last time Chen Guangming reported you, and the matter was investigated and clarified, neither Chen Guangming nor Chen Hong have come forward to report on your situation. 。“Xiao Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, he nodded and said: “Minister Sima, Chen Hong is my ex-girlfriend” 。But, we broke up. Me and Chen Hong, we don't have any special relationship now. 。" Sima Yue looked at Xiao Zheng, his gaze warm yet with a hint of sharpness. He asked again, "What caused the break-up Can I know Of course, if you're not comfortable talking about it, you don't have to." 。Xiao Zheng glanced at Sima Yue. He didn't expect Minister Sima to be so inquisitive. 。Generally, this involves the privacy of cadres. The organizational minister wouldn't ask so directly, as it goes against the identity and position of the organizational minister. 。Either Minister Sima truly cares deeply about himself, or Minister Sima has a particularly unique working style that differs significantly from other leaders. 。

Xiao Zheng felt like he didn't want to say anything, as if he didn't trust the minister. 。As the saying goes, the organization department is like a family to cadres. Director Sima even went out of his way to bring me up from An County, showing genuine concern and kindness. If I were to appear distrustful towards him, I'm afraid it would hurt his feelings. Besides, things between me and Chen Hong are truly over, so there's nothing left for me to hide. 。Then he said, "Hong and I were very close in college, but after entering society, we found that our values and life pursuits were different. This difference grew larger over time and became irreconcilable, so we finally broke up!" Sima Yue nodded thoughtfully, then continued, "I heard that you two dated for ten years..." 。A decade of love isn't easy. 。Are you and Chen Hong really hopeless After all, Chen Hong works in the Organization Department of Jijing City Committee, while I am the Minister of Organization at the provincial level. 。If so, you still have a chance to get back together. To be honest, I also want to help make that happen. 。"Do you understand this"

Sima Yue's words were indeed very straightforward, and Xiao Zheng could completely understand. 。Caring for one's own team members and grassroots cadres is a manifestation of the Organization Department's warmth. 。Xiao Zheng began to feel that Sima Minister's visit this time, perhaps related to Chen Hong. 。Chen Guangming reported himself last time, but he was still promoted. 。But Chen Guangming's reason for reporting was, after all, because of the emotional problems of Chen Hong, a member of the Organization Department of the Jinshi City Committee. 。If Minister Sima could bring him and Chen Hong back together, this would not only completely resolve the conflict, but it would also be a wonderful story for Minister Sima as a cadre. 。Xiao Zheng could feel Sima Minister's concern for him. If there was anything else he could do to help Sima Minister achieve a great feat in his work, he would definitely cooperate actively. 。But, this is a matter of his own feelings, Xiao Zheng really can't force it. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Minister Sima, I know you care about grassroots cadres and organizational cadres very much. " 。But, between me and Chen Hong, it's truly impossible now. To use a common saying, our paths have diverged. 。Sima Yue's heart sank slightly. He hoped that Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong could reconcile, so there would be no entanglement between Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Zheng. 。However, Ke Xiaozheng frankly stated that his relationship with Chen Hong had "come to an end," and his attitude was very firm. 。However, this kind of "firmness" is what Sima Yue does not want to see. 。So, he offered another tempting condition. 。"Xiao Zheng, you can consider this matter again." 。If you and Chen Hong could reconcile, as the county magistrate and a department head of the city committee, you would form a truly ideal cadre family. Your future growth would also be watched over by the organization. 。You can say this, as long as I'm still in the river, I will definitely take care of you two. Chen Hong may have made some minor mistakes in the past because of her position, but she definitely won't need to do that anymore. 。As long as you all do your jobs well, the organization will take care of your future prospects. So Chen Hong doesn't need to go around building other relationships anymore. 。I'm not afraid to make this clear. 。Since Sima Yue had already spoken so clearly and thoroughly, he believed Xiao Zheng should also be able to understand. 。In Xiao Zheng's ears, Sima Yue should know the relationship between Chen Hong and Tan Zhen, and he should also understand that Chen Hong approached Tan Zhen for her father's and her own promotion. 。Therefore, Sima Yue stated that he would consider promotion issues for them in the future, so Chen Hong no longer needed to sell herself. 。As for past events, let Xiao Zheng forget them and embrace a life filled with happiness. 。However, Xiao Zheng could no longer turn back. 。He said, "Minister Sima, there's no possibility between me and Chen Hong. It's not because I can't forgive her" 。But because, my relationship with Chen Hong has ended. Now I have other love in my heart. 。I wasn't going to say this, but since Minister Sima cares so much about me, I might as well be honest with him. 。of Xihe can eat mutton and bighead fish every day, wouldn't that be a way to repay the enthusiasm of the people of NingganSpeaking, Xiao Zheng grabbed the roasted mutton on the table and put it in his...
