After Zhao Xiaobei completed the discharge procedures, he returned to Nantu Town.
During his hospitalization, except for Secretary Niu who visited him. And Jiazhou went to visit. He also joked that Zhao Xiaobei saved his life. If he and reporter Peng went down for an interview, he might die.
Zhao Xiaobei said on the surface that he wanted Jiazhou to treat him to a meal to express his gratitude. In fact, I was extremely grateful to Jiazhou in my heart, and was a little embarrassed.
As for other comrades in the town who didn't even look, he also expressed his understanding. I have just arrived in town, and my colleagues don’t even recognize each other, let alone have personal feelings.
"Secretary Niu, I'm back. I came here to report to you." Zhao Xiaobei opened Secretary Niu's door.
"Xiao Bei, it's good to be discharged from the hospital. Why don't you rest for a few more days? The work is not so urgent." Secretary Niu now likes this young man more and more.
"It's nothing big, but I still want to get back to work as soon as possible. I can't delay my work. I'm a newcomer who just came in. It's a good time to learn from old comrades."
"Xiao Bei, in fact, they should all learn from you. Learn from your dedication and self-sacrifice. This is also the key and foundation for our party to get through step by step."
Secretary Niu's words made Zhao Xiaobei feel a little embarrassed. What sacrifice of life, what dedication. He, Zhao Xiaobei, saves people just for his own future and wealth. This is not a dedication, but a naked calculation.
"Secretary Niu, don't say that. This is what I should do." Zhao Xiaobei also said shamelessly.
"I know that's what I said, but when it comes to that, how many people will do what you do? I'm currently communicating with the organization to give you a personal meritorious award. We gCd people can't do things that make honest people suffer. .”
'Honest people suffer? Zhou Xiaobei thought to himself, I guess many people want to eat this loss. Since Secretary Niu wants to receive awards for his meritorious service, there is nothing to refuse.
"Thank you, Secretary Niu."
"Xiao Bei, you're discharged from the hospital. I'll treat you to dinner today." It was Jia Zhou who spoke.
Because of this incident, the relationship between Jiazhou and Zhao Xiaobei seems to have become much closer. Zhao Xiaobei also had this intention. Originally, these were opportunities for Jiazhou. He had robbed him of them, and he still felt that he owed him.
"The relationship is good, I'll have a good meal for you. Make up for it. But I still have to wait until after get off work. It's still a bit early to eat now. I just finished breakfast."
After saying that, the two walked into their office together.
At this time, Peng Jiasheng, the executive deputy governor of the provincial government, was sitting at his desk and carefully reading the article "Agricultural Taxation for More than 2,600 Years, Where Should You Go?" "Sitting in front of him was his son, provincial newspaper reporter Peng Yuhao.
"Not bad, really good. This young man has just graduated. He sees problems so profoundly and has good independent thinking skills. I think many of the insights in the article are very unique and insightful. He not only pointed out the problems, but also gave solutions. It is a very good article. An instructive article. I see that the policy research department has been studying it for so long, but it has not achieved as many results as this recently graduated college student."
"Dad, are you saying that the higher authorities are currently studying the reform of agricultural taxes and fees?"
"Yes, this is no secret at the top. He can see the problem of agricultural tax. Doesn't the central government know about it? It's just that the time is not the most mature now, and the specific measures have not been released yet. But pilot projects have begun in Jiangbei , it is estimated that it will be fully launched in two years.”
"That also shows Zhao Xiaobei's foresight from the side!" Peng Yuhao added points to Zhao Xiaobei from time to time.
"Yes, he is a cadre with great potential. He is indeed a bit underserved in the township. Such a person should be on a larger platform to do some macro work. By the way, what kind of work is he responsible for in the township now?"
"He is a recent graduate and now works as a handyman in the town government office."
"Oh," Peng Yuhao never talked to his father about the specifics of Zhao Xiaobei. He just briefly talked about how he risked his life to save himself and some of his views on agricultural taxes. Therefore, Peng Jiasheng did not know the specific situation of Zhao Xiaobei.
Peng Yuhao also saw that Zhao Xiaobei's article had perfectly aroused his father's interest, so he also struck while the iron was hot and said: "Dad, you also said that such a talent in the countryside is a bit incompetent. How about you transfer him to your side?" , which also gives him a stage to display his talents.”
Peng Jiasheng looked at his son and thought for a while. "Have you talked to him?"
"Well, I didn't reveal my identity. I simply asked him if he would like to work in the province."
"Then what did he say?"
"He was very bland. He thought I was just joking with him. But he still had his own will."
"Okay, you give me his specific information. Then you do one more thing, which is to publish his article in your provincial newspaper. Ignore the rest."
Peng Yuhao didn't understand when his father said this. "Dad, are you really going to publish it directly? I'm afraid our editor-in-chief won't agree to publish it."
"You don't care about this. I'll tell him over there."
Less than is Yu Huabei, the editorial director of the provincial newspaper.
Peng Jiasheng is a young man and a determined reformer. He just wants to treat Zhao Xiaobei's article as a stone and throw it into the pond to see if it can cause a big splash.
Although he has just arrived in Yueshan Province, his deputy ministerial rank has been resolved for three years, and Governor Liu is about to arrive. Now there is also a full-time deputy secretary who is eyeing his position. If he, the last standing deputy governor, wants to get the position, he will have to use some extraordinary methods. Then this agricultural tax and fee reform is a very good political achievement.
According to the process of the previous life, Peng Jiasheng, the executive deputy governor, worked for six years before taking over the position of governor. In this life, because of Zhao Xiaobei's rebirth and that article, he had the opportunity to stay in the deputy position for five years and directly become the provincial governor.
Sometimes this is the case in officialdom. Opportunity is the greatest help but also the most difficult. Everyone can work hard, but not everyone has the opportunity. He, Peng Jiasheng, gave opportunities to Zhao Xiaobei, and Zhao Xiaobei also created opportunities for Peng Jiasheng. This is mutual achievement.
Peng Yuhao knew that it was a foregone conclusion that Zhao Xiaobei would come to the provincial government. But he didn't plan to tell him his true identity. He was afraid that after Zhao Xiaobei knew his identity, he would lose his previous frankness and be all reserved.
But he didn't know that Zhao Xiaobei had actually known Peng Yuhao's true identity for a long time, and even if Peng Yuhao told him his true identity in the future, Zhao Xiaobei would not change his attitude towards Peng Yuhao. Because Zhao Xiaobei, who has lived in two generations, has a sophistication and calmness that is different from his age.
