Chapter 390: Perseverance to the End

ounty head's dinner was a Hongmen Banquet. He invited Uncle Chen and me because he wanted to threaten us. 。The county magistrate's bargaining chip is that they discovered a small vault of money in th...The next morning, Xiao Zheng didn't go to his own office, but went to the office of Sun Yiqi, secretary of the county Party committee first. 。Sun Yiqi saw Xiao Zheng and immediately asked, "County Magistrate Xiao, why didn't you attend the banquet arranged by Minister Yao last night Almost all other leading cadres attended." 。“Xiao Zheng said: “Sun, I’ll be honest with you, I have some opinions about Minister Yao.” 。Sun Yiqi raised her head, frowned, and looked at Xiao Zheng: "What's your opinion" As the main leader, what bothered her the most was that the people below were not united and fought with each other in secret. 。Xiao Zheng frankly said: "Sun Shujì, I don't know if you have heard, Yao Bèixiang in work requires female cadres to have improper relationships with him. This is not just a reaction from individual female cadres, many female cadres have been harassed by him." 。Furthermore, as the organization minister, Yao Baixiang exhibited excessive subjectivity in cadre appointments and promotions, recommending and appointing cadres based on his personal preferences rather than objective criteria. 。That's why I have an issue with Yao Baxian, and I won't be attending his dinner party. 。Sun Yiqi took a sharp breath; he hadn't expected Xiao Zheng to lay everything bare without any justification. 。Without any beating around the bush, it made his job as the top dog even harder. 。After a long while, Sun Yiqi finally let out a breath and said, "Comrade Xiao Zheng, I also know that you are a very honest and upright leader, and a very sincere person." 。I believe that ninety-nine percent of what you told me today about Comrade Yao Baixiang is true. 。"Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Thank you for your recognition and understanding, Sun Shujì." 。"But..." Sun Yiqi said, "But the situation has changed now, Comrade Xiao Zheng..." 。Yao Bixiong's uncle, Tan Siming, has already served as the secretary of the Provincial Committee. This also shows how much the new provincial committee secretary recognizes Tan Siming. 。So, Yao Beixiang, we can't afford to offend him. 。You also need to understand this. 。Everyone understands this. 。So, you see, at yesterday's banquet, everyone else besides you and Comrade Guan Wenwei showed up!

Xiao Zheng nonchalantly said: "Sun Secretary, I have a question for you..." 。Regardless of whether Tan Siming serves as the provincial Party secretary, or regardless of Yao Beixiang's background, as the county Party secretary, what is your mission in An County” Sun Yiqi was taken aback, her brows furrowed once more before she replied, "Of course, it is to advance An County's economic and social development, and to build a clean and honest development environment by leading the cadres and creating a strong team." 。"Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Sun Shuji, you are right." 。You were sent to Anxian by the organization, to complete this important task. 。You mustn't forget and abandon this important task just because of your own promotion! If, during your term, you allow someone like Yao Bixiang to run amok, the person ultimately responsible will still be Sun Shuji, you. It is because you have not managed the team members well. 。This, please Sun Shuji think three times over. 。Sun Yiqi was silent. 。He took out a cigarette and didn't offer it to Xiao Zheng. He lowered his head and lit one himself, taking a hard drag but not exhaling the smoke, as if he had swallowed it whole. 。After a long pause, Sun Yiqi looked up at Xiao Zheng: "Comrade Xiao Zheng, all you said were just superficial things" 。But you also need to be clear, the so-called 'organization' that sent me here, in the end, is still the will of a certain leader. 。If Tan Siming doesn't allow me to continue as the county Party Secretary, or even demotes and disciplines me, it would be a simple matter. 。So, Xiao Zheng, please understand me, I can't mess up my relationship with Yao Baxian. 。Xiao Zheng came today with hope, hoping that Sun Yiqi could fulfill the responsibilities of a leader who dares to grasp and manage, and have a good talk with Yao Beixiang. 。Now, Xiao Zheng feels he overestimated Sun Yiqi. 。Xiao Zheng stared at Sun Yiqi and said, "Secretary Sun, with all due respect, I can't understand your actions." 。We have been able to reach this point today, because within our organization, evil never triumphs over righteousness. 。Anything that is malicious and lawless will ultimately be severely punished by the law and scorned by the people. 。This process may be difficult, but someone must go to battle. 。You are the top dog, you have this responsibility! Otherwise, it's complicity, and in the end there will be no good outcome!”

Sun Yiqi heard Xiao Zheng say "complicity, and in the end there will be no good outcome," and she felt as if she had been cursed. Her brows jumped involuntarily, and she said sharply, “Okay, Comrade Xiao Zheng! Don't think I don't understand what you're saying>>> 。I understand. 。But, I have my own principles for handling things. 。Each and every one of us has worked hard to get where we are today, so please understand me. 。Okay, you can go now. 。"Son Yichi didn't want to hear Xiao Zheng's advice anymore, nor did she want to worry about it any longer, so she gave him the boot. " 。Xiao Zheng got up from his chair and said, "Well, excuse me." 。Xiao Zheng walked out of Sun Yiqi's office. He didn't slam the door, but maintained his usual courtesy. 。Making a county committee secretary like Sun Yeqi dare to confront the forces behind Yao Baixiang wouldn't be easy at all. 。When it didn't work with Sun Yiqi, Xiao Zheng went to find County Magistrate Jin Jianqiang. 。He also explained things very clearly to Jin Jianqiang, even telling him about Sun Yiqi's attitude. 。Xiao Zheng said: "County Mayor Jin, on the matter of Yao Baixiang, I believe it's no longer a disagreement between colleagues, but a struggle against corruption." 。"Jin Jianqiang, hearing this, hurriedly said: 'Xiao Zheng,' 。If we go by your logic, things get complicated. 。Moreover, Yao Bixiong is backed by Tan Siming, the provincial Party secretary is also new and will definitely stay for several more years. Tan Siming should be able to remain influential for several more years! During these years, if we want to fight against Yao Bixiong, it's impossible! Xiao Zheng, you need to understand this. 。。Anyone who violates the country's laws and regulations, anyone who acts recklessly, should be punished! We should stand up and fight against them! 。"Also, even though Yao Bixiong calls Tan Siming "uncle," that doesn't necessarily mean he's being truthful. Tan Siming might not even be aware of what Yao Bixiong is doing!"

Jin Jianqiang shook his head and said, "Xiao Zheng comrade, you weren't at the scene yesterday, so you don't know..." 。Yesterday at the dinner, Yao Baixiang called Tan Secretary-General in front of everyone. 。Tan Mi, the newly appointed Secretary-General of the Provincial Committee, was clearly delighted to hear that everyone had gathered to celebrate his appointment. 。Tan Mi, Shu Chang, and Sun Ji directly called me and I, to thank us for celebrating his promotion together, and also thank us for our concern about Yao Bixiong. 。If I were to oppose Yao Baixiang now, aside from whether or not such an action would yield any results, there's one thing that's certain: Tan Meishu, the secretary-general, would know very quickly, and my situation could become difficult. 。So, Xiao Zheng, I'm very sorry, but I can't help you with this. 。Xiao Zheng felt disappointed again, Jin Jianqiang had also succumbed. 。Xiao Zheng still wanted to try again, and said: "County Head Jin, you told me last time, let me 'remember this always, we fought together>>> 。Between us, there's still Xiao Mayor. He is a strong bond for us, so that's why I came to see you today. 。“

Jin Jianqiang sighed and said, “County Magistrate Xiao, that’s why the situation is always changing constantly.” 。I really didn't expect Tan Siming to become the secretary of the provincial committee. 。Even now, even if Xiao the mayor is still the County Party Secretary of Anxian County, he probably wouldn't dare to make things difficult for Yao Baixiang. 。Xiao Zheng said: “Mayor Xiao isn’t trying to make things difficult for Yao Beixiang.” 。But I believe she will dare to confront the lawless, unruly, and illegal behavior! Jin Jianqiang fell silent. 。Xiao Zheng knew that talking to Jin Jianqiang any longer would probably be futile. 。Xiao Zheng stood up and said, "I'm sorry, County Mayor Jin, for interrupting you." 。When Xiao Zheng came out of Jin Jianqiang's office, he felt a profound sense of loneliness. 。"Such a large county party committee, government office, wouldn't dare to speak out against Yao Beixiang's wrongdoing just because Tan Siming became the provincial Party secretary! But Xiao Zheng smiled at himself, waving his hand in front of him as if swatting away a spider web." 。He won't give up that easily. 。"County Head Xiao, I didn't expect you to still be at work" A voice suddenly rang out from the hallway. Xiao Zheng recognized the voice, and looking up, it was indeed Yao Beixiang, with a sneer of disdain on his face. 。Xiao Zheng came to a halt and looked at Yao Beixiang, saying: "Of course I'm working." 。"Yao Baixiang sneered, "Yesterday's dinner I arranged, only you and Guan Wenwei didn't come. I thought you both were sick!" Xiao Zheng said, "This is Minister Yao thinking wrong, both myself and Director Guan are in good health." 。“So, you're not giving me any face” Yao Baixiang stared at Xiao Zheng.

“Everyone has their own things to do. Chief Yao’s dinner appointment is late, we can’t get away.” 。"Yao Bixiong said, 'I was notified just like everyone else, even the secretary and county magistrate are here. Could it be that you're all busier than them I think you must have something against me.' Yao Bixiong pressed on step by step." 。Xiao Zheng also didn't want to pretend anymore, so he said: "If Director Yao thinks I have an opinion of you, then I have an opinion." 。Yao Baxian smiled and glared at him, saying: "Everyone says that County Magistrate Xiao speaks very straightforwardly, I didn't expect him to be so blunt that he's a bit foolish." 。Since you have opinions about me, I won't pretend anymore. I have even bigger opinions about you. 。And I can guarantee your seat won't be yours for long. 。"Xiao Zheng glared back at him and said: "Bureau Chief Yao, you're a department-level cadre, and I'm at least a deputy county-level official. How long I can stay in my position is up to me, not you." 。Yao Baixiang lowered his voice, but the hatred in his eyes was undiminished: “I may not have the final say, but someone always does. And whether you believe it or not, that person listens to my Uncle Tan.” 。"Xiao Zheng said, "You drag your 'Uncle Tan' in and out all day long. People don't bring their constantly nursing babies to adults like this, only people who complain without a real reason." 。"Yao Buchang, you're still breastfeeding, aren't you"

"You..." Yao Beixiang seemed like a dog that had been stepped on its tail. He suddenly wanted to pounce on Xiao Zheng, but Xiao Zheng just gently moved aside, dodging him. 。"Bureau Chief Yao, you're here Come to my office quickly!" County Magistrate Jin Jianqiang heard the commotion outside and worried that Yao Beixiang and Xiao Zheng would get into a conflict. He hurried out to call Yao Beixiang to his office. 。Good 。I'm here. 。"Yao Baixiang replied to Jin Jianqiang, then glared fiercely at Xiao Zheng and said, "Just wait!"ates! In my understanding, Xiao Zheng is the Secretary of the Dongcao Municipal Party Committee, and my mother is a Standing Committee member of the Provincial Party Committee. Her position should be...
