The guests who come all come alone, either the driver brings them up, or they take someone else up with them.

Lu Weimin went to pick up Ande Jian, and there were only a few of them in total.

When it comes to privacy, Jinxiu Villa is not the best. After all, it is famous here, and many people come here because they admire its reputation. However, the environment here is elegant and the most rare thing is that it has both dining and rest. Each small villa has a small

The tea room can accommodate small-scale gatherings and is very suitable for high-end official or business activities, so Lu Weimin helped Xia Lixing decide to stay here.

Bai Pu was also very satisfied with the place and came to review the recipes in person and made some requests.

Of course, as the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, it is not a problem to decide here. The key is that Xia Lixing does not want to be public, so he is so low-key, even low-key and secretive.

Among the six guests, except Lu Weimin, they were all department-level cadres, such as Mao Ding'an, the newly minted mayor of Kunhu, and a hot rising political star in the province. Lu Weimin had been Xia Lixing's secretary for a year, and he only knew this Mao Ding'an.

The mayor had contact with Xia Lixing, but he didn't expect that his relationship with Xia Lixing was so close.

Lu Weimin looked around at the circle of cadres sitting at the dinner table. One obvious feature was that, except for himself, they were all in their prime and had strong growth potential.

For example, Mao Ding'an is only forty-five years old, and Peng Weiguo, the executive deputy commissioner of the Xiliang District Administrative Office, looks a bit older, but he is actually only forty-three years old. Qu Dongmao, the deputy director of the Department of Agriculture, is even younger, having just turned forty.

Here, Ande Jian is considered older, he is already forty-seven years old.

The oldest person here is probably Shuai Kun, deputy director of the Supervision Department. He is over 50 years old. He and Xia Lixing are old partners. He once served as the secretary-general of the Kunhu Municipal Committee when Xia Lixing was the deputy secretary of the Kunhu Municipal Committee, and later served as

Secretary of the Kunhu Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and later served as deputy director of the Provincial Department of Supervision.

"Secretary-general, I will call you Minister Xia next time I see you. Don't forget your hometown when you get to the Ministry of Agriculture. Brother Dongmao is your counterpart. If you have any good projects, give priority to them."

Shuai Kun has a ruddy complexion and slightly gleaming hair on his temples, but he is in good spirits. He heard that his son has been admitted to the United States as a government-sponsored student, so he has been in a good mood for a while. Several guests just toasted to him.

Expressing congratulations. He also accepted all comers and drank every cup in one gulp, even juniors like Lu Weimin did the same.

"I can't say that step yet, but since I am from Changjiang, of course I can't forget my hometown. If I have the opportunity, I will certainly consider it."

Feel free to relax.

"Secretary-General, don't mention it. The province wants to win a special pilot project for the transformation of medium- and low-yield fields. If we can win this pilot project, the ministry will have a special fund. We have worked with Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi on this matter.

The province is fighting for it, and I was talking about joining the ministry. Now that the secretary-general is here, I feel much more at ease." Qu Dongmao also joined the conversation.

"It seems that the Ministry of Finance has the main responsibility, right? The National Agricultural Comprehensive Development Office?" Xia Lixing thought for a moment and asked.

"Well, the funds come from the National Agricultural Comprehensive Development Office, but the specific work must be led by the Ministry of Agriculture. Several departments of the Ministry of Land and Resources and the Ministry of Water Resources have to participate. This workload is huge, and this pilot is also important for our province.

The transformation of low- and medium-yield fields has a very important role in promoting food security." Qu Dongmao easily stepped into the role.

"Haha, Dong Mao, what kind of day is it today? Can you not mention your business matters? After Minister Xia takes office, if you go to him again, will he stand by and watch, Minister Xia? Don't you think so?" Sitting there?

Mao Ding'an, who was next to Xia Lixing, laughed, "Speaking of which, if the province wants to win this project, we in Kunhu Lake must do it."

"Mayor Mao, Kun Lake is a vast plain with fertile land. It is known as the land of fish and rice. How many low- and medium-yield fields need to be transformed? This project should first consider our Xiliang. Minister Xia, don't you think so?" Sitting next to Lu Weimin,

Peng Weiguo also chimed in.

"Okay, Lao Peng, your Secretary Song proposed to build Xiliang into a new industrial city in the province, emphasizing the strong industrial city and putting agriculture in a secondary position. Don't put your mind on this."

Mao Ding'an said with a half-smile.

"Mayor Mao, this should be reversed. Song Zhenbang is now the secretary of Kunhu City. It is Kunhu City that needs to seriously consider this issue." Peng Weiguo laughed happily.

Lu Weimin carefully pondered the conversation between the two. It seemed that Song Zhenbang did not have a good relationship with the two people. One was a former colleague and the other was his current partner. It seemed that these two people had a bad impression of Song Zhenbang, but Song Zhenbang was

Xiliang's performance was outstanding, otherwise it would not have been possible for him to move from the position of Secretary of the Xiliang Prefectural Committee to the Secretary of the Kunhu Municipal Committee in one step.

Song Zhenbang is said to be highly valued by the provincial governor Shao Jingchuan, but it is not clear how Tian Haihua, secretary of the provincial party committee, feels about Song Zhenbang. However, it is obvious to all that Song Zhenbang did a very good job in Xiliang. Not to mention other things, it only lasted more than two years.

, it doubled Xiliang’s GDP. Based on this alone, Song Zhenbang had the confidence to talk big.

Xia Lixing seemed not to have heard the conversation between Mao Ding'an and Peng Weiguo, but turned his attention to Ande Jian.

"Dejian, I talked to Minister Tao last time and asked you if you were interested in making a move. You were not willing. Fengzhou has not made any move in this round of personnel adjustments. I suggest you still consider it and work in the local area for a long time.

I have constraints on my work ideas. It was only in the province that I felt the constraints of my ideas and ideas. So this time I went to work in the Ministry of Agriculture. I am also full of expectations. Please think about it carefully. If you have ideas in this regard, I can

Recommend it to Secretary Tian."

A grateful smile appeared on An Andejian's face, "Secretary-General, I will consider this matter again. Mainly because I am worried that I will not be suitable for working in the province, but there is nothing else."

"What can't you adapt to? No one is born to do a certain job. How good can I be in agricultural work? Don't you have to go to the ministry now?" Xia Lixing smiled and shook his head, "Stop making excuses, you can't

If you are willing, I won’t force you.”

Ande Jian just smiled and said nothing.

"Weimin, what about you? What are your plans?" Xia Lixing brought the topic to Lu Weimin.

"Haha, Secretary General, Xiao Lu is now a star figure in our province. This year's economic growth champion in the province cannot escape you Shuangfeng. When Secretary Liu came to Kunhu to investigate, he never left you Shuangfeng. Thank you.

Don't stop talking." Mao Ding'an glanced at Lu Weimin and nodded, "It's better to be a secretary-general. He can do such a good job even with a secretary."

"Ding'an is still too young to serve the people. In fact, we all know the achievements of Shuangfeng. With a total of several hundred million, any county in Kunhu, Qingxi and Qingxi is several times better than it, which means it occupies a lower base.

Let's do it." Xia Lixing shook his head and glanced at Lu Weimin, "But Weimin people are young and smart and have broad ideas, which is very good. Let's practice for a few years and see if we can become something great."

Lu Weimin knew very well that he just smiled and said nothing. In front of Xia Lixing and Mao Ding'an, it was not his turn to speak. Whether it was praise or criticism, it was all to help him. He could sit here today, even if Xia Lixing left.

Changjiang, if something really happens in the future, these people will have to take care of their incense.

After the meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. It was rare for Lu Weimin to see Xia Lixing drink a lot of wine. Although he was not drunk, he was still very drunk. This was the most alcohol Lu Weimin had seen Xia Lixing drink.

once.

***********************************

The Mitsubishi Cross-country was speeding on the road. Lu Weimin looked straight at it. Ande Jian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, half-closed his eyes and seemed to be sleeping.

"Governor Dong has a good impression of you. Governor Dong officially recognized Minister Dong the day before yesterday. I went to Minister Dong to report on my work, and he mentioned you."

Ande Jian's voice was very low, "Now that Secretary General is leaving, I'm afraid you have to be more cautious and don't let others take advantage of you. Your ability in economic work has been demonstrated now. Secretary Li and Commissioner Sun both think highly of you."

One glance, but you have to pay attention,..."

Lu Weimin glanced at Ande Jian, but Ande Jian said no more.

The Mitsubishi Cross Country was running in the dark, and neither of them spoke for a while.

Although Xia Lixing's departure should be a promotion from his own point of view, his departure directly caused his influence in Changjiang to be greatly reduced for a period of time, and for someone like Ande Jian,

It has a great influence on people who vaguely belong to his faction.

Although Xia Lixing did not deliberately form a clique, the group that formed naturally at work had already formed a circle with him as the center. Now that Xia Lixing has left Changjiang, this group will naturally disappear.

Both Andrejian and Lu Weimin have a clear understanding of this trend. Unless Xia Lixing can return to work in Changjiang within one or two years, this system circle will no longer exist, and the people in this circle will no longer exist.

People will also gradually be absorbed into other circles.

This is also a system formed from the top down, and is inextricably related to the feudal system formed in China over thousands of years. Although with the break and impact of modern society on the feudal official system, many of the original official system

The old ills have been eliminated, but there are still many remnants that remain, such as factions, folders, disciples, etc. They are all remnants of this kind.
