Chapter 95: The War from the South

On the second day after returning from overseas, Caroline called Lu Zheng and asked how his "boyfriend" was looking for. At this time, Lu Zheng was looking through the "Regulations on Encouraging Taiwanese Compatriots to Investment" issued by the State Council and spoke to Cao Hongjun, Minister of the United Front Work Department of the Municipal Party Committee.

Cross-strait relations gradually thawed. Not long ago, the Kuomintang held the 13th National Congress, transforming its policy focus from "anti-communist restoration" to "secure waiting". At the same time, the mainland has also begun to increase efforts to attract Taiwanese investment.

At the just-concluded Wushan Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting, Feng Guiping proposed that Taiwanese compatriots have been active in the mainland in recent years, and the total investment is growing rapidly. Although there are not many Taiwanese compatriots from Wushan, our Wushan has acquired advantages. Departments at all levels should steadily carry out the work of introducing Taiwanese investment and serve our Wushan economic development.

At the meeting, Feng Guiping named and praised the Binhai New Area for its investment promotion work. He was obviously very satisfied with Lu Zheng and the development of Binhai New Area.

Since Lu Zheng was unable to send him away and Lu Zheng entered the Standing Committee, Feng Guiping did not want any chaos to develop in the new district. After all, the Binhai New District is the most important engine for Wushan's economic development.

Feng Guiping at least affirmed Lu Zheng’s recent work.

However, Lu Zheng always felt that the atmosphere between some members of the Standing Committee was a little wrong during this period, and it seemed that the circle was getting stronger and stronger.

After hanging up Caroline's phone, Lu Zheng turned around and sat on the sofa and smiled at Cao Hongjun: "So, we must strive for Taiwanese capital, but in foreign exchanges, we cannot pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons. We still need to continue to increase our efforts to introduce investment in Western Europe. We have few Taiwanese compatriots from Wushan, and we cannot defeat our enemy's strengths with our own shortcomings."

Cao Hongjun nodded slightly, and then calmed down, saying, "I'm afraid that the State Council documents will be released and interrupt our normal work. All regions will rush to attract Taiwanese investment and become a political task. I don't know when this problem will be changed."

When Lu Zheng was the Minister of the United Front Work Department, Cao Hongjun was the executive of the department, and he was considered a veteran subordinate of Lu Zheng. At the just-conference of the Standing Committee, Cao Hongjun was invited to attend.

"Let's change from ourselves." Lu Zheng smiled and patted Cao Hongjun on the shoulder.

Listening to the seemingly cooperative arguments between Lu Zheng and Secretary Feng Guiping, Cao Hongjun felt more and more that Lu Zheng was different from other Yumen, and his ideas about united front work were very conscious of his own ideas, unlike Secretary Feng, who regarded attracting investment as a political task.

The office door was gently knocked, and Zhou Daqing looked up and said, "London Mayor Wang is here."

Cao Hongjun smiled and said, "Then Secretary Lu, you are busy." He stood up and said goodbye.

Before Wang Yubao arrived, laughed and entered the house first. It seemed that he was laughing outside and joked with Cao Hongjun. Although Feng Guiping didn't like him and adjusted him from the secretary of the Beihai County Party Committee to the mayor of Lunan District, it seemed that he didn't care at all and was still so happy.

Lu Zheng knew that he would not care as much as he seemed on the surface, but he might have been so angry that he could hold it in his heart.

Asked Wang Yubao to sit down, poured him a glass of water. Wang Yubao smiled and said, "Old Feng doesn't have this treatment, right?"

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "The joint venture just called me and asked if you want to go to Wuxiang?"

Wang Yubao is Feng Lianying's cousin's brother-in-law. He met him because of Feng Lianying's relationship. However, Feng Lianying may have some problems with him and work, so he has to send a message. I think the two have completely different personalities and can't talk about them together.

But Feng Lianying made a fortune somehow relied on the relationship between Wang Yubao's family, and the two were relatives, so now, we can't ignore him.

Wang Yubao shook his head and said, "If you don't go, what should I go to the place where birds don't poop? Just Feng Lianying, he likes to be a turtle with his head."

Lu Zheng smiled bitterly. The initial reason for Wang Yubao offended Feng Guiping was to help him speak. Speaking of which, he was somewhat responsible, so why did he fight with Liu Shoucheng?

Wang Yubao picked up the water cup, took a leisurely sip of water, and said, "Old Feng can't just rub me to the end, right? I think he is the secretary of the municipal party committee for a long time. I'll stay in Wushan to see when he will move."

Lu Zheng said helplessly: "Are you irritating this?"

Wang Yubao drank water without saying a word.

Lu Zheng was about to say something again, when the phone rang on the table, Lu Zheng got up to answer the phone. There was a slightly hoarse male voice in the microphone, "Zhengzi, I, Xu Guoping."

Lu Zheng was slightly stunned. Xu Guoping, the director of the Propaganda Department of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, had a close relationship with his family. He was a heavyweight in the middle-aged and zodiac generation of the Beijing School. He controlled the Beijing School's mouthpiece Beijing Daily, and was also one of the most outstanding writers in the Beijing School.

"Have you read the Southern Express today?" Xu Guoping's voice was a little solemn.

"Didn't read it? What's wrong?" Lu Zheng knew that something might have happened. The Southern Express had a clear political tendency and was closely related to another extremely powerful political group entrenched in the south.

Xu Guoping said: "Then I will send you a fax. Your office fax number is l1005Uu, right?"

Lu Zheng nodded, and Xu Guoping put down the phone. After a while, the fax machine rang. Lu Zheng answered and looked at the fax paper slowly poking out of the fax machine with hissing sound, and his eyebrows couldn't help but frowned slightly.

This is a copy of the third edition of the Southern Express today. In a prominent position, the black title is "How is the seizure and pawn?"

Lu Zheng tore off the fax paper and glanced a few times. The article criticized the Wushan Seizure Pawnshop, believing that this was a manifestation of ideological confinement, a lack of understanding of the new things emerging from reform and opening up, and a reversal of history. The article analyzed the essence of the pawnshops that appeared after the reform and opening up and the pawnshops in the old society, and pointed out that some of the Wushan Special Zone were rigid in their thoughts and moved against the trend of reform, and should conduct profound reflection and review.

Lu Zheng frowned slightly. Originally, it was just because of Huang Lao's trouble, and the pawning business was not standardized now, so his temporary expedient measures were not expected to hurt some people's nerves.

Xu Guoping's voice came from the microphone: "Zhengzi, Secretary Lu's meaning is to be weak, but my personal opinion is that the Southern Express has a great influence. It may cause a certain degree of disturbance to you and Wushan. I think it is better to write an article to make an appropriate response. I want to hear your thoughts."

Lu Zheng was stunned. Xu Guoping was not so arrogant and did not speak much when he came to his home. He often sat in the corner and watched his father chat and laugh with the Beijing-sected bosses.

But I didn't expect him to protect himself like this. After all, this article is only aimed at himself. What he did in Wushan seems to have nothing to do with the political demands of the Beijing faction.

Lu Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Xu, thank you, but let me handle this matter myself."
