Chapter 209 It’s all true!

Qin Ke and Liu Ming approached Cao Rui about the Taohuapu Village elections.

Cao Rui waved his hand and said:

"Lao Tan, Lao Liu, let's put this big deal aside for now. I bought some gifts and we'll have a banquet tonight!"

Cao Rui carried a load of milk, two bottles of wine, and a carton of cigarettes. The driver, Chen Zhigang, had already parked the car downstairs. The town government of Qilihe Town has an old Santana. After Cao Rui goes to work, the driver Chen Zhigang is very aware and is on standby for the secretary at any time.

After Cao Rui went downstairs, he waved to him:

"Old Chen, you can rest tonight, Mayor Qin and I will drive by ourselves!"

Cao Rui drove a Honda, Qin Ke sat in the co-pilot, and Liu Ming sat in the back. At the end of 04, it would be great to be able to drive a second-hand Santana that was eliminated along the coast. New cars are not easy to see, let alone a Honda. .

Liu Ming is a car fan. After getting in the car, he touched here, looked there, and sighed. He thought to himself that with Cao Rui's family conditions, it would be great to be able to take root in Qilihe Town and work. The grassroots work was disgraced. People like him It's for a few taels of silver, Secretary Cao is for the feelings!

Qin Ke asked:

"Secretary, where should we go to eat?"

"Go to the Peach Blossom Shop. You'll know after you go there!"

Liu Ming said from the back seat: "Is it Chairman Xu's mother's birthday today? Will the secretary take us there to celebrate her birthday?"

Cao Rui laughed and said:

"Secretary Liu, he is indeed engaged in party and mass organization work and is well-informed!"

Liu Mingdao: "Chairman Xu originally applied to return to Qilihe because he wanted to serve his mother. His father was also a leader in the system, but he passed away relatively early. His mother is now almost in her early eighties."

Xu Aimin comes from a well-known family in Qilihe Town. His parents are both leaders in the system. There are four Xu Aimin brothers and sisters, all of whom are state officials.

Anyway, the family gets together every year on my mother's birthday, and they don't talk to the outside world and keep a low profile.

Cao Rui and Qin Ke drove to Xu's house. Xu Aimin was very surprised. The brothers and sisters were very moved when they heard that several major leaders in the town were congratulating their mother on her birthday.

Xu Aimin held Cao Rui's hand and said:

"Secretary Cao, I feel very ashamed that you are so polite! I promise Aimin that I am so virtuous and capable that I ask you to lead several leaders to congratulate my mother on her birthday..."

"My father made a rule before his death that our family is not allowed to celebrate birthdays, so we have kept a low profile on my mother's birthday for so many years. We just reunited our brothers and sisters as a family. Today is the first time that we have alerted the leaders."

Cao Rui said:

"Brother Xu, what kind of leader is not a leader? You are our eldest brother in the team! Lao Tan, Lao Liu, and I are all juniors, especially since Lao Tan and I are both new here, and we have a dark eye at work. You Don’t hold back any ideas you have, and talk to us frankly. We only have one standard, which is to do things well, and everything else doesn’t matter!”

When Cao Rui said this, he waved his hands and said:

"Okay, Brother Xu, let's not talk about work today. Today is the old man's birthday. Let's celebrate it together. Lao Tan and I are just here to have a meal!"

At two tables of the birthday banquet, Xu Aimin's brothers and sisters took turns to come over to toast. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Xu Aimin was especially moved. He thought that he had always thought Cao Rui was very arrogant. In fact, this person was very easy-going. He didn't have the airs of a secretary at all. At least he was better than Ding Yibo was much more easy-going before.

Because Cao Rui had to drive, he drank moderately (the awareness of drunk driving was not high at that time). After eating, he was left to play cards for a while, and it was almost early in the morning when he returned to the town government.

Early the next morning, when Cao Rui arrived at work, Xu Aimin came to his office to report on his work.

He said:

"Secretary, regarding the Peach Blossom Shop Peng Dakun, Secretary Ding actually had an idea when he was in office..."

Xu Aimin told Cao Rui about Taohuapu. Taohuapu used to be a township, but now Taohuapu is also a market. The Peng family is relatively powerful in Taohuapu. Peng Dakun does have some outstanding qualities, so there are many The common people still identify with Peng Dakun.

Of course, the key is that the ethnic minorities in the mountains are naturally united, and the government has not established a good reputation at the grassroots level in the past many years. In this case, the issue of township work involving village-level branches and village committees is very difficult.

Xu Aimin said:

"Our Qilihe was formed from the merger of three townships, namely Qilihe Township, Taohuapu Township and Sanmutang Township, so there are three market markets that are relatively strong.

This is not to say that only Taohuapu Village has this problem, Qilihe Village and Sanmu Tang both have serious problems! Therefore, if the election issue in Taohuapu Village cannot be resolved, our town’s grassroots branch construction may collapse, and the consequences will be very serious..."

When Xu Aimin said this, Cao Rui's expression became solemn, and he asked:

"How did Secretary Ding plan to deal with it?"

Xu Aimin said:

"Secretary Ding carefully investigated Taohuapu and found that this village is not monolithic! Peng Dakun in Taohuapu has a rival. This person is Yang Qifu. Yang Qifu is a pig butcher and has a high prestige among the people. This person can definitely compete with Peng Dakun. The existence of countermeasures.

To be honest with the secretary, Secretary Ding and Mayor Mao Jun put a lot of thought into finding a candidate for Taohuapu Branch Secretary. They had previously searched for three or four people, but none of them could compete with Peng Dakun!

Finally, we found Yang Qifu. It was Yang Qifu who lacked political consciousness. If not, this problem would have been solved long ago! "

Cao Rui said:

"Brother Xu, can we use Yang Qifu to completely turn the situation around now?"

"If Yang Qifu agrees, the chances are great..."

Cao Rui stood up, took a box of cigarettes from the drawer and threw it to Xu Aimin. Xu Aimin quickly waved his hand and said: "Secretary, what are you doing!"

"Your cigarettes are gone, take a pack to smoke! You are a local from Taohuapu, and if you can come to me today, then there must be a solution! If this matter can be solved, let alone a pack of cigarettes, I will give you one cigarette……"

Xu Aimin grinned, his fat face smiling like Maitreya Buddha.

He came over and said, "Yang Qifu has a son named Yang Erbao. This boy is his lifeblood. Yang Erbao went to high school and has some abilities. This boy is also a bit stubborn. As long as he is caught, Yang Qifu will obey. Already..."

Cao Rui talked with Xu Aimin for more than an hour. After the conversation, his biggest sigh was that grassroots work is really all about the road.

As for the troubles at Taohuapu, if Xu Aimin hadn't actively participated, Cao Rui wouldn't have known how many detours he would have taken.

Yang Qifu of Taohuapu wants to be capable, but he doesn’t want to be the village branch secretary. In the current situation, to persuade him, he needs to work from his son Yang Erbao. Who should Yang Erbao listen to? Yang Erbao listened to Ma Xiaoling, the principal of Yongping Middle School...
