Wushan, with skyscrapers, glass curtains and buildings lined up one after another. The advertisements of Western supermodels in the huge electronic screen render the city's fashion and internationalization. Whites and blacks walking through the streets will not attract too much attention from passers-by. Avant-garde girl whistled past her famous car. In front of the theater, crazy fans were waiting for a superstar to attend the premiere of her movie. Everything made Wushan look so different from many cities in the mainland.

Although the party carried out a harsh ideological struggle in the field of thought after the turmoil, the central government still showed a certain degree of tolerance towards Wushan. After all, this is already a business card for domestic opening up. In order to break Western sanctions and avoid the Western world's excessive demonization of China, Wushan, near Beijing and Tianjin, seems to represent China's sincere desire to prosper together with the world.

In fact, at the end of last year, a red capitalist with special relationships abroad invited more than 100 well-known entrepreneurs from all over the world to China to celebrate the tenth anniversary of his company in his private name. Many heads of the Fortune 500 companies flocked to the world. This grand reception was held in Wushan.

By now, the West has entered its third year of sanctions on the Republic. After Japan could not withstand the temptation of economic interests, Western countries have gradually loosened. In fact, any mature politician can draw a rational conclusion that economic sanctions have no practical significance for this vast country and will not cause any trouble to its ruling party. Instead, it may hit the country's enthusiasm to open its doors to the outside world, making it more closed, withdrawn and dangerous.

Sanctions against China gradually became in name only.

It was under such a background that Lu Zheng arrived in Wushan.

The office building of Wushan Municipal Government is nine floors high. After moving westward, it is farther away from the municipal party committee compound, which also makes Wushan significantly different from the tradition of working in a compound of the municipal party committee and government in most cities in the mainland.

The mayor's office was originally designed on the sixth floor, but the former Mayor Peng liked to look around, so he moved to the top floor. Before Lu Zheng took office, the logistics department of the logistics department reorganized the room on the sixth floor to serve as the office of the new mayor.

In fact, some employees of the Yu Department of the Municipal Government are not unfamiliar with Lu Zheng. For Lu Zheng, the municipal government compound is mostly familiar with each other, especially grassroots workers. After all, many people may serve in this compound diligently for the rest of their lives.

Most of the members of the municipal government leadership team are familiar with each other. Take several deputy mayors as an example. Four deputy mayors, including Chen Jiaqiang, Wang Futing, Liu Shoucheng and Zhang Heping, are old acquaintances, among which Chen Jiaqiang is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor.

Wang Futing has a deep relationship with Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng worked in the Education Commission for a few months in his early years. At that time, Wang Futing was the director of the Education Commission. Wang Futing was promoted to deputy mayor when Lu Zheng actually controlled Wushan. His promotion was naturally unrelated to Lu Zheng.

Zhang Heping is an old comrade. He is about to withdraw, so he has made several reports, hoping to work at the National People's Congress.

As for another acquaintance, Deputy Mayor Liu Shoucheng, his relationship with Lu Zheng was first cold and then hot. When Lu Zheng was in the provincial capital, Liu Shoucheng visited Lu Zheng several times.

On the morning of the second day after attending the city-wide meeting in the auditorium of the Municipal Party Committee, Lu Zheng held a short meeting in the auditorium on the first floor of the Municipal Government, which was considered to be a meeting with everyone. In the afternoon, he held a meeting in the conference room on the sixth floor. He got to know each other with several deputy mayors and assistants of the mayor. Except for one of the other people who were in other places and a deputy mayor who went abroad for inspection, the rest of the government team members were all present, including Chen Jiaqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor.

"I guess many comrades who know me are muttering to themselves now, why is Hu Hansan back?" Lu Zheng's opening remark caused a burst of laughter to sound in the conference room.

Lu Zheng smiled and drank a sip of tea and said, "Who is a comrade who has never worked with me, I don't understand me, so I will understand slowly in the future. I only have one wish to build our Wushan better, not only with high-rise buildings, but also with vitality, inherit and carry forward the civic culture of our city and serve the citizens better."

As soon as Lu Zheng finished speaking, Chen Jiaqiang and Wang Futing took the lead in applauding. Chen Jiaqiang said with a smile: "You are the old leader of Wushan. Wushan has developed for ten years, and many things are your firsts. Without you, there would be no Wushan now. I believe that under your leadership, our municipal government Yumen team will definitely be pioneering and enterprising and take it to the next level."

Although Chen Jiaqiang was promoted to executive vice mayor and joined the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, the authority established by Lu Zheng seemed to be in front of him again at this time. Moreover, Lu Zheng's actions in the provincial capital made the old people who knew Lu Zheng know that although after several ups and downs, Lu Zheng was still the Lu Zheng, and the strong steel company that had no room for resistance.

He Jinxing was extremely surprised when he heard Chen Jiaqiang's statement. Although Chen Jiaqiang was close to Lao Peng, he was not so obedient in private.

He Jinxing was transferred to Wushan from Wuxiang two years ago. He is now the deputy mayor who ranked only after Chen Jiaqiang. Moreover, Huo Qinqun reported to the superiors that in order to adapt to the new needs of economic development, he planned to promote a deputy mayor to the Standing Committee so that the Party Committee can better grasp the pulse of Wushan's economic development. Huo Qinqun is planned to nominate the deputy mayor to the Standing Committee, which is He Jinxing.

Lu Zheng also glanced at He Jinxing a few times when he spoke, but didn't say much.

After the meeting, Chen Jiaqiang followed Lu Zheng into Lu Zheng's office and chatted for about half an hour. After Chen Jiaqiang left for a while, Wang Futing came upstairs and entered Lu Zheng's office.

After Wang Futing left, Zeng Jiang, deputy secretary-general of the municipal government, deputy director of the office, and director of the agency affairs administration, walked in with a smile.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Lao Zeng, are you doing well recently?"

Zeng Jiang hurriedly smiled: "It's great, mayor, we are all very happy to be back."

When Lu Zheng was first transferred from Guangning to the Municipal Advisory Committee, Zeng Jiang was the deputy director of the first office of the Organization Department. He was not very polite to Lu Zheng at that time. Later, the two had several interactions. With Lu Zheng's promotion, Zeng Jiang's attitude towards Lu Zheng also changed. Not to mention now, although Wushan's Office Affairs Management Bureau was clearly at the level of a regular department, and the two were only two levels apart, the distance between them can be described as a natural barrier.

Zeng Jiang smiled again and said, "Director Sun is not here. If you have any questions, just ask me to do it. The Standing Committee has cleaned it up. You see if there is anything you need to move, I will take the workers there."

Sun Duoxiang, Secretary General of the Municipal Government and Director of the Office, followed the inspection team to conduct an inspection abroad. I was afraid that I would be in a hurry abroad. Just as he went abroad, the king's flag changed from the top of the city, and Mayor Peng was transferred. I think he could hate his lover who had never wanted to go abroad to see him.

Zeng Jiang thought of Sun Duoxiang's current expression, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lu Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Let's talk about it, Wushan is my home. I will think about where to live. It's not good for the Standing Committee and the air is a little turbid."

Zeng Jiang quickly agreed, thinking about the meaning of the mayor's words, and didn't know if it was implying something.

Lu Zheng thought about it and said, "By the way, Xiao Xie, my former secretary Xie Kun, what job is now? You can talk to him and transfer him over. It is more convenient to use the elderly. Of course, you have to ask for his personal opinions first."

Zeng Jiang smiled and said yes, Lu Zheng said, "The old man is easy to use." In this case, he is also considered an old man.

I miss Xie Kun again, you are so happy.

After Lu Zheng was removed from all positions in Wushan City, Xie Kun, the secretary, was naturally implicated. Although his pen is relatively tough, no leader would use him again. Later, Xie Kun was sent to the district. It is really unclear if he wanted to tell what he was doing now.

While talking, the phone rang on Lu Zheng's desk. A call from the office complex said that Liu Tie, deputy mayor of Binhai New District, had arrived and asked the mayor if he had time to see him.

The entire office is the mayor who serves the mayor, responsible for drafting important documents of the municipal government and important speeches of the mayor; responsible for the preparation, recording, sorting, reviewing, and proofreading of the municipal government plenary meeting, municipal government executive meeting, mayor's office meeting and other important meeting materials; undertake the drafting, revision, proofreading of documents and materials within the contact scope, and participate in relevant coordination work; participate in comprehensive investigation and research work, and integrate relevant materials; undertake the daily work arrangements and services of the mayor; handle other matters assigned by the leader, etc.

The work nature of the second department is similar, but the service targets are the other deputy mayors.

Generally speaking, if Xie Kun is transferred to the Municipal Government Office to serve as Lu Zheng's full-time secretary, even if he is not at the same level as the deputy director of the Municipal Government Office, he should be appointed as the director of the General Office 1 or related positions.

When Lu Zheng heard Liu Tie come, he was silent for a while: "Please come in."

Zeng Jiang said goodbye, and Lu Zheng sighed softly in his heart. In the past two years, Liu Tie has been implicated by himself. Although he tried his best to avoid contact with Wushan Yumen, a lot of information was inevitably transmitted to his ears. For example, Liu Tie, as the Lu Sect Yu General with a label on his forehead, after he left Wushan, his fate took a sharp turn. Originally, he was the assistant mayor and director of the planning committee. As long as he left a few months later, he was clearly identified as the deputy department level or even promoted to deputy mayor. However, after he left, Huo Qinqun was appointed as the secretary of the Wushan Municipal Party Committee, Liu Tie was removed from the position of director of the planning committee. Within a month, he was removed from the assistant mayor and transferred to the director of the Forestry Bureau. Later, he was transferred to the deputy district mayor, and even promoted to the current position of deputy district mayor, and has been transferred to the current position of deputy district mayor.

Zhang Qingtian's fate is similar. Now he is the director of the Meteorological Bureau. Compared to Liu Tie who can still contact government affairs, Zhang Qingtian may have been more distressed during this period, who is already unwilling to be ordinary.

When Liu Tie came in and saw Liu Tie’s frown at the corner of his eyes and the gray hair gradually growing on his temples, Lu Zheng’s heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Liu Tie was ten years older.

He suddenly got up and walked over, hugged Liu Tie, patted his shoulder hard, and hugged him hard, and the corners of Lu Zheng's eyes were slightly wet.

Liu Tie originally wanted to say something, but under Lu Zheng's embrace, he could no longer say it. There were thousands of flavors, everything was indifferent.

After a while, Lu Zheng slowly let him go.

"Mayor, you look old." Liu Tie sighed softly.

Lu Zheng nodded silently, remained silent for a while, and said, "These two years have been considered a purgatory. For you, me, Qingtian, and many of us have been grilled in the furnace at one time, but we will also be reborn in this purgatory."

Liu Tie nodded slightly and suddenly smiled, "I finally feel relieved. As long as you have not lost the courage to move forward, Qingtian and I have many people and will always support you." He also said: "Before coming, the Qing Dynasty repeatedly entrusted me to say hello to you."

Lu Zheng also smiled, "Yes, the Qing Dynasty is also in the Binhai New Area now, so you two have gone together."

At the same time.

In a spacious and grand office in Wushan, a middle-aged man with a very majestic face was sitting. At his desk, a white-faced Yubu was sneering and said, "Lu Zheng is here, and many people are moving very well now."

The middle-aged Yu Bu smiled, got up slowly, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the tall buildings in the distance, thoughtful, and after a while, he said, "Tell them to move, there is no harm in moving more."

After get off work, Lu Zheng got into Huzi's car, thought for a while and said, "I won't go back to the hotel, go to the big banyan, there is our place."

Dashuban is originally a famous village in the suburbs of Wushan, but with the rapid expansion of Wushan, Dashuban has become an urban village. Many out-of-towners who do small businesses and workers who come to Wushan to work like to rent houses here. I heard that there are even hawkers selling fake diplomas and pirated video tapes use this as a den.

Wei Xiangxiu had already bought more than ten acres of land near Dashuban. Perhaps it was because she had taken care of her younger brother and sister. So she might have settled the land to make money, but later, she built a kindergarten on this land, and the fees were very low. Because it is very close to the urban village where workers gather, the main source of students in this kindergarten is foreign children who do not have Wushan household registration.

Black Santana drives past the spire-shaped kindergarten gate and can see children playing on various children's playgrounds in the yard.

Listening to the cheerful singing of the children in the garden, Lu Zheng nodded slightly.

I walked around the kindergarten. Behind the kindergarten is a row of bungalows, which is called Jianshe West Street. Walking inside, you can see the bustling vendor stalls. It is a small market. Not far away, surrounded by tall buildings, all of which are newly built residential commercial areas, surrounding them.

Hu Zi looked at the door number, stopped in front of a courtyard, and said, "Is it here?"

Lu Zheng nodded. He has been here once.

Huzi opened the yard gate and drove the car into it. The high-walled courtyard had a very strict entrance. There was a concrete bungalow inside. Huzi smiled and said, "This is still like it, not that cold."

But when he opened the door and entered the house, Hu Zi was stunned. This bungalow was luxuriously decorated and had a very large area, which was larger than Lu Zheng's residence in Taihualou. He probably had more than a dozen rooms, including master bedroom, guest bedroom, servant room, living room, dining room, kitchen, and toilet. It was really a unique world.

Hu Zi felt that it was wrong. From the outside, the house was just a newly emerging six-house layout, which was not big. He immediately understood and said, "This is opening up the houses on both sides. In fact, we have three courtyards? But from the outside, they are still one courtyard?"

Lu Zheng said: "You sister Xiangxiu is right, this is Zhongyinxiu City." He laughed again: "She has a lot of thoughts, so there is no need to be so troublesome."

Huzi said: "This place is quite good, it is more convenient than living in a villa, the conditions are good, and it is low-key, and it can be close to the people's voices. However, safety is a problem. In the future, I will be in the wing room in the hospital. That is the guard room in Sister Xiangxiu's drawings, right?"

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "It's up to you." In fact, the wing room outside is also connected to the wing room on the side of the yard, and the environment is very comfortable. Compared with the two-bedroom apartment in the city center, the biggest advantage here is the quiet environment and the air quality is also high.

"Come on, look at the front yard." Lu Zheng opened the floor-to-ceiling curtains in the living room.

Hu Zi was slightly stunned and said, "There is a yard in front?"

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "There is the South Courtyard in front, aren't there three main rooms in the south? The main room is the kindergarten building complex." As he said, he exclaimed and said, "There are people in the courtyard."

Du Xiaohu hurried over to look and saw that the environment in the courtyard was excellent, with colorful flower beds, stone benches and tables, weeping willows, and a man in a suit and tie was heading to the east door of the courtyard.

Lu Zheng reached out and opened the door, saying, "Look at what he is doing."

The door creaked, and the man in the suit seemed to be startled. He turned around and was stunned. Lu Zheng was also stunned. The man dressed quite elegantly was Bai Xiaoshuang's father Bai Erqiang.

Lu Zheng walked over with a smile and asked, "Why are you here?" Wei Xiangxiu said that Bai Erqiang ran errands with others to do business, but he was cheated by the bag company. The boss counted him, causing him to owe him a lot of debts. Now Wei Xiangxiu has helped him set up a convenience store, and the rent is exempted, so he is willing to look at the store steadily.

Bai Erqiang was stunned for a while, pointed to the east door and said, "My small supermarket is here. I just went home to get something." As he said that, he pointed to the three bungalows next to the south.

Lu Zhengqi said: "Aren't these houses the hope of kindergarten?"

Bai Erqiang said: "Yes, my wife works in the kindergarten, so she rents me a family room in the kindergarten. I will also give it to the kindergarten to get some more at night."

Lu Zheng was even more surprised: "Your wife?"

Even though Bai Erqiang was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and said, "I left the house first, I'm just leaving the house with nothing. The one I found later is now helping the kindergarten with logistics."

Lu Zheng didn't hear Wei Xiangxiu say about these situations, so he nodded and stopped asking about them.

Bai Erqiang hesitated and asked carefully: "You, are you here in Wushan to do business?"

Lu Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "Job transfer. You should go and wait until you have time to go to your store to sit."

Bai Erqiang quickly agreed to the bill twice and walked away quickly.

Looking at his back, Lu Zheng smiled. In fact, Bai Erqiang was very energetic, but his temperament was a bit more vulgar.

In the evening, Lu Zheng came to the Pearl Hotel, which was actually the original Changming Hotel. It was acquired by the Pearl Hotel Group, renovated and built a matching building and opened at the beginning of this year.

The building is seven floors high, and each floor has an air corridor connected to the main building of the Pearl Hotel. The building is mainly catering and recreational facilities. Lu Zheng has booked a private room on the second floor of the building, and he has arrived the earliest today.

After Liu Tie, Zhang Qingtian and Zhou Daqing arrived one after another, Liu Tie laughed and said, "The old leader still talks about the show, so we subordinates are relieved." Everyone laughed.

Zhou Daqingqi said: "Leader, are the three of us?"
Chapter completed!
