The incident soon came to the province's public election examination, and Zhao Xiaobei walked into the examination room as scheduled that day. For the written part of the exam, the written test score of this public selection exam only accounts for 30%, and the rest is the interview and defense.
The written examination consists of two parts, one is the administrative professional ability test and the other is the essay. So the exam was completed in one day. Zhao Xiaobei came out of the examination room very relaxed.
It was still raining a little bit on Mount Yue in April. He watched some raindrops fall sporadically from the sky, but the sunshine had not completely faded away, and he could still feel the shadow of the sun cast on the ground. On a parasol. Such weather suddenly made the relaxed Zhao Xiaobei feel very uncomfortable. I thought to myself, wait a minute! Maybe wait, the rain will come.
People who had finished the exam were walking out of the examination room one after another. Several people looked at Zhao Xiaobei who was standing motionless in the corridor, thinking that this time the lowest position was at the deputy director level, and there was only one. It was said that it was a customized position, it seemed. It was specially given to the secretary of a big leader. The rest are at senior level and above.
Looking at this young man, I thought that this young man must be in his early 20s. If I hadn't seen him coming out of the examination room, I wouldn't have believed that he was also taking the public election examination.
In line with the principle of planting more flowers and less thorns in officialdom, these people came up to say hello.
"Comrade, do you want to go together since it's raining?"
Zhao Xiaobei looked back at the two strangers and said kindly:
"Thank you, no, I'll wait. It won't rain for long."
One of the comrades in a navy blue jacket took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave it to the man in black clothes who was accompanying him. He also handed one to Zhao Xiaobei. Zhao Xiaobei also took it politely, and the three of them lit a fire and started smoking.
The comrade who was smoking said while blowing smoke rings:
"My name is Huang Jiaxing, what's your surname?" He was obviously asking Zhao Xiaobei.
"My surname is Zhao, Zhao Xiaobei."
As Zhao Xiaobei said his name, both of them looked at Zhao Xiaobei in surprise and put out their cigarettes. He stretched out his hand and said:
"This is Secretary Zhao from afar. I'm sorry." They both said and came over to shake hands.
Zhao Xiaobei had no choice but to put out the cigarette and hold their hands.
"You're welcome, who are you?" As the deputy secretary's secretary, people knew him, and it was common for him not to know others, so he asked calmly.
That Huang Jiaxing said:
"Secretary Zhao, I am Huang Jiaxing, the deputy county magistrate of Daliang County, Huazhou City. I have long heard that Secretary Peng's chief secretary is from our Daliang County. I have never had the chance to meet him. I didn't expect to meet him here. I'm glad to meet you!"
The other one quickly introduced himself:
"Secretary Zhao, I am Liu Zhenzhao, deputy director of our Huazhou Municipal Food and Drug Administration. I am very happy to meet Secretary Zhao. You are a big celebrity in our Huazhou City. Nice to meet you."
After listening to the self-introductions, Zhao Xiaobei understood that these two were cadres from Huazhou City. They looked about 34 or 35 years old. They were relatively young deputy director-level cadres at the grassroots level.
"It turns out they are two leaders. It's a pleasure to meet you." Zhao Xiaobei is only at the scientific level now, so it is normal to call them leaders.
But people don’t dare to trust:
"Secretary Zhao is humble, you are our leader." Huang Jiaxing said quickly.
Another Liu Zhenzhao also answered:
"Secretary Zhao, it is fate that we meet each other, and we have long planned to visit Secretary Zhao, but we have never been able to find the opportunity. Do you think you can give us a chance this time to treat Secretary Zhao to a meal on behalf of our fellow citizens in Huazhou?" It’s a simple meal, and it’s a little bit of fun for the folks in Huazhou.”
After the exam, the application time in the afternoon was almost 5 p.m., and Zhao Xiaobei had already asked Deputy Secretary Peng Jiasheng for a day off, so he originally planned to go home after the exam. Now the two people from his hometown in front of him The cadre invited me to dinner, thinking that he was the deputy county magistrate of my hometown, and also wanted to make a good relationship, so I agreed.
As soon as Zhao Xiaobei agreed, Deputy County Magistrate Huang Jiaxing quickly called to reserve a location. After everything was settled, the car that picked them up stopped at the bottom of the stairs. The cadres at the deputy director level below are also considered leaders, and they are usually protected by small cars. Unlike in the province, the deputy director level is as numerous as the crucian carp in Majiang.
The three of them got in the car and arrived at the reserved place. The trunk of the car had wine, Maotai. You must know that 12 years ago, the Eight-Point Regulations were not released, and the eating and drinking habits in the officialdom were still very serious. When these lower-level leaders came to the province, they would keep some good wine and cigarettes in the trunk of their car, just to make things easier. .
In such a drinking party, Zhao Xiaobei is the absolute protagonist. At the table, Huang Jiaxing and Liu Zhenzhao both praised Zhao Xiaobei to the sky. From their eyes, Zhao Xiaobei could clearly see the sincerity and enthusiasm for making friends.
Naturally, I couldn't spoil their fun, so I drank with them generously. We would chat after drinking, and while chatting, we talked about Lu Zhihuan some time ago, and also talked about Zhao Xiaobei's uncle Zheng Jungao who worked in the Daliang County Education Bureau, and his eldest cousin Zheng Wei.
They were all deputy division chiefs, so naturally they didn't know the details of the case involving Lu Bingquan and his son. So naturally we talked about his in-laws Zheng Jungao and son-in-law Zheng Wei.
"Secretary Zhao, you don't know that in our Daliang County. Now Zheng Jungao is a joke. At that time, in order to curry favor with Lu Bingquan, he asked his son to take his daughter, thinking that he was climbing a high branch. Who would have thought that without a year's incident, Lu Bingquan would have They were able to fall down. Lu Bingquan and Lu Zhihuan announced the opening of Beijing Shuangdao, and his son Zheng Wei immediately divorced his wife. I think they are too realistic and too impersonal." Liu Zhenzhao said with a hint of drunkenness.
Huang Jiaxing also added:
"They are actually famous in Daliang County, that is, if you have breasts, you will have a mother. Zheng Jungao has been the director of the Education Bureau for almost five years. Didn't he just want to rely on Lu Bingquan to solve the deputy department, but God is not as good as man. .”
Zhao Xiaobei was very surprised as to why the two of them had such big opinions against Zheng Jungao. Although they both drank, and drank a lot, there were some people in the officialdom who would really get drunk and talk nonsense, let alone them. This level.
"Both of you, Zheng Jungao doesn't have a good reputation as an official in Daliang County. I think you two don't seem to be satisfied with him." Zhao Xiaobei also said under the influence of drunkenness.
Upon hearing this, Huang Jiaxing said excitedly:
"I can't say it's not very good, but I want to say it's very bad. Secretary Zhao, you may not know that you are up there. After he married Lu Bingquan, he looked askance at everyone in the county. I am in charge of education, and he As the director of the Education Bureau, most of the work is reported directly to the county magistrate and secretary. He doesn't take me seriously at all. He always talks about Mayor Lu, as if he is Mayor Lu. What’s even more irritating is that he made the final decision on many tasks without telling me as the leader in charge. But if something went wrong later, he would act like a coward, and it was me who wiped his ass..."
Huang Jiaxing also talked a lot. If he and Zheng Jungao were not related to each other, I would not know what his face would be like. He actually hated Huang Jiaxing for talking about the evil deeds of another unknown person when they met for the first time.
But the problem is that he knows Zheng Jungao's virtue, so he has no objection to Huang Jiaxing's remarks.
In addition to making friends with these two people during this drink, Zhao Xiaobei also knew that Zheng Jungao was just a joke in the officialdom of Daliang County and was having a very bad life.
