Wang Chuanfu took out another unopened mobile phone and said, "Secretary, this is a work mobile phone for you. You can see if it works. If not, there are other styles."
Liang Jiangtao took it and took a look. It was a fairly new model from Nokia, estimated to cost several thousand yuan more.
He shook his head and said: "I have a mobile phone, so I don't need this. Who are you sending this to?"
"Um..." Wang Laifu seemed a little at a loss and said, "It's a rule set by Secretary Qi before. It's applicable to leaders above the middle level. Of course, the models are different. For models at this level, only the secretary and the mayor can have."
"Don't be nervous. This is for work. I didn't say you shouldn't hand out a cell phone. I really don't need it. Look, I just changed it not long ago." Liang Jiangtao said and took out his cell phone and flashed it.
"Secretary, what you have is yours. You can keep this." Wang Chuanfu said with a smile.
Mobile phones are rare things. Even if you are the secretary of the party committee, you won’t lose face by giving this away. Who thinks it’s too little?
"I said, you're welcome. If you have nothing to do, go and do your work!" Liang Jiangtao waved his hand.
He won't ask for a cell phone, and of course, he won't be so strict that he won't give it to everyone.
This is not only a benefit, but also a work requirement.
With the monthly salary of several hundred yuan for township cadres, it is impossible to afford a mobile phone.
But work does require this!
After entering the information age, mobile phones will greatly improve work efficiency.
Therefore, Liang Jiangtao has no objection to providing everyone with mobile phones.
Moreover, as long as the work was done well, he had no objection to improving everyone's welfare in any possible way.
In a country of socialism with Chinese characteristics, more work must be more rewarding!
When Wang Laifu saw the secretary's firm attitude, he did not dare to persuade him any more and hurriedly resigned.
News from the agency, especially from the leaders, spread very quickly. Soon, the entire town government compound knew that the new secretary did not want a mobile phone, and everyone felt tense.
Are benefits going to be cut?
This is not a good sign.
Soon, it's time to get off work.
Wang Laifu came over again to ask for instructions. In the evening at the town cafeteria, Mayor Li Chunping and other town leaders arranged a reception banquet for Liang Jiangtao.
Liang Jiangtao pondered for a moment and said, "We just met today. We have a lot of work to do, so we can skip the reception banquet!"
Although Wang Laifu was shocked, he didn't show anything on the surface and agreed to go out.
Mayor Li and others fully considered the situation of the new secretary, so they arranged the reception banquet in the town cafeteria. Unexpectedly, the secretary still refused to go.
It seems that it will take some time for the new and old teams to get along.
Without the reception banquet, Liang Jiangtao still had to eat. At dinner time, he asked Wang Laifu to take him and Chen Guodong to the town cafeteria.
The cafeteria is in the bungalow behind the town government. It mainly serves big pot meals.
Today is a hodgepodge of cabbage, pork, and meatballs, with steamed buns, noodles, and polenta.
Each person has a big bowl to satisfy both their satiety and their thirst.
In an era when food and clothing had not yet been solved in many rural areas, it was considered a delicacy.
Township cadres do not have to spend money to eat, which is a huge benefit in the eyes of many people.
Those who come to eat are all ordinary cadres and workers. Those with some positions usually don't come to eat. They usually go to several restaurants in the town to have a meal together.
The trend of eating and drinking is evident even in remote towns and villages.
When Wang Laifu led Liang Jiangtao into the canteen, many cadres who were eating showed expressions of surprise and nervousness, and some of them stood up voluntarily.
Director Wang is a prominent figure in the town party committee and government compound. He can accompany people to the cafeteria with a low eyebrow, and the identity of that person is self-evident.
There is a high probability that he is the new secretary who came today.
"Is this the new secretary? He's so young! He looks like a student!"
"I heard that he came down from above. He must be of extraordinary origin."
"You are so young, how can you manage such a big town? We, Longwu, are in chaos!"
"Then you are really unfounded. If I have some connections, I might be able to attract investment and make Long Wu richer!"
"I don't have any expectations. It would be great if we could add another dish to our canteen!"
The diners whispered to each other, making Liang Jiangtao once again feel the glory and pressure of being the leader.
Born with his own spotlight, he is always at the center of the stage.
Advantages and disadvantages.
Liang Jiangtao smiled and nodded to them, but didn't say much. Anyway, the town cadre meeting would be held soon, and they would know each other by then.
He went straight to the private room with Wang Laifu.
Town leaders do not dine in the hall, but in private rooms.
The chef tried his best to cook a few special dishes.
There are fried chicken with chili, sweet and sour fish, musu pork, scrambled eggs with chopped green onion...
Liang Jiangtao and Chen Guodong ate together, with Wang Laifu accompanying them.
After all the fuss today, everyone is hungry and the food is delicious.
Liang Jiangtao felt that the quality of the food in the town canteen was not low, and it seemed that it was not inferior to that of the provincial party committee canteen...
I don’t know if it has something to do with my mood while eating.
After dinner, Wang Laifu took Liang Jiangtao to the house.
It is a small courtyard with a bungalow, with a main room, a side room and a yard. It is clean and tidy.
The town leaders are all entitled to a small courtyard, and the secretary even occupies the best house.
When I walked in, I saw that it was fully furnished and could even take a shower.
Liang Jiangtao was very satisfied.
Chen Guodong was arranged in a house not far from Liang Jiangtao.
"Secretary Liang, the Party and Government Office has prepared some daily necessities. If you need anything else, let me know at any time!"
"No need, Lao Wang, it's very comprehensive and I'm very satisfied with it. Sit down!" Liang Jiangtao pointed to the sofa beside him.
"Okay, secretary!" Wang Laifu sat down flattered, wondering what the new secretary wanted to say to him.
"How old are you this year?"
"Huh? Forty-two."
"How many years have you been in Longwu?"
"I have been in the town since I graduated from high school. I have worked in the management area, agricultural machinery station, and finance office for more than 20 years. I have been the director of the Party and Government Office for five years. Counting you, I have served three leaders. "Wang Laifu said.
He is indeed a veteran.
It is not easy to climb from an ordinary technician to the position of director of the Party and Government Office.
"Well, have you ever thought about making progress?" Liang Jiangtao said with a smile.
"ah?"
Wang Laifu was shocked and didn't react for a while.
progress? Become a town leader? !
He only dreamed of it!
Among grassroots cadres, who doesn’t want to become a deputy section leader?
Those are the cadres managed by the Organization Department of the County Party Committee, and they are serious leaders!
Especially for a top-tier guy like him, he is only half a step away from that position!
However, he knew that the distance seemed close, but yet it was extremely far!
Within the system, only the deputy section level and above are administrative levels recognized by the state. The stock level is an internal fictitious rank. There is no such level, so in essence, you are still a section member.
What's more, being promoted to town leader, everything else is easy to talk about, but there is a huge gap in front of him, and that is academic qualifications!
Although he started working early and settled his status as a cadre early, he was only a high school graduate after all.
It is inconsistent with the current employment orientation.
Nowadays, when employing people, age and education are two very different things.
He didn't meet either of these two criteria.
I have long given up on the idea of progress.
I just want to keep working hard in this position. When I get older, the organization may consider giving him a position in the county people's congress or the CPPCC, and he can retire in the county. It will be a great thing.
When it came to being promoted to town leader, he didn't dare to think about it!
