() Almost at the same time that Chen Yu and Zhu Zhi were chatting at Jiangnan University, a tall figure was sitting in a large living room in a small foreign-style building in the overseas Chinese's new residence, just where Chen Yu had been sitting a few days ago.
He has a standard face with Chinese characters and piercing eyes. He is clearly none other than Wang Qianjin. But compared to the confident expression a week ago, there is now an unexplainable sadness between his eyebrows, just like the one outside the window.
Always inseparable from the bright moon shrouded in dark clouds.
"Old leader, we have held several meetings in the past few days, but the opinions in the city are still not unified. The municipal party committee secretary and the mayor each have their own opinions. I simply cannot come up with a strong plan at tomorrow's press conference."
Wang Qianjin said in a deep voice.
Chen Tongzhi, who was sitting diagonally across from him, had a calm face and did not reply in time.
Wang Qianjin didn't care, and continued: "I heard that several leaders in the province have not reached a consensus..."
Chen Tongzhi nodded and said, "That's right. If there is no problem at the provincial level, there will definitely be no problem at the city level."
Wang Qianjin added: "However, this matter is not an ordinary matter. If it is not handled well, the impact will be very bad. As you know, the villagers in Jiang'an Village have a kind of drive in their bones. Last time, they surrounded and blocked the road.
If trouble breaks out again this time, I'm afraid something big will happen! Sigh, I really don't know what the leaders are thinking about it. If chaos really breaks out, who can suppress it? Should the provincial leaders directly come down? Who can bear the responsibility?
?”
Chen Tongzhi said: "Go forward, you are now a city leader. How can you not understand after so many years? For some people, this is not the point. If something goes wrong, you will not be the one who bears the main responsibility.
…”
Wang Qian said: "Yes, if something goes wrong, the person who will be directly responsible must be the public security line. Old leader, do you know Zhu Zhengwen, the director of the Public Security Department?"
Chen Tongzhi said: "I've heard of him. He's young, stable, and hard-working. He's very good."
Wang Qianjin was surprised. He had never heard of many people who could be so highly praised by Chen Tongzhi. He responded: "Yes. I heard that he has a good reputation in all previous positions. This time he came to Jiangnan Province and it was also a sensation."
For a while, it seemed that he was about the same age as me, around forty. Compared to him, the difference is really big."
Chen Tongzhi heard his envy and admiration. He smiled and said: "You don't need to belittle yourself. You are also very capable and have a good reputation. But in addition to ability, officials also have luck. There is no way to compare.
"
Wang Qianjin hurriedly said: "The old leader misunderstood, and today's achievements are all due to the old leader's care. I am already very satisfied and grateful. I was just sighing casually. But if the Jiang'an incident is not handled well, it is very likely that
It has become the trigger for the serious security situation in the province, and Zhu Zhengwen will definitely be the first to bear it. His Thunder No. 1 operation has only been launched for a few days, so it is very stressful."
Chen Tongzhi said: "To be able to parachute into the position of director of the Jiangnan Provincial Public Security Department, Zhu Zhengwen is by no means an ordinary person. Don't underestimate him. Thunder No. 1 will not be just a single action. There will definitely be consequences.
There are many moves, and it takes more than one step. He is a master, he makes decisions and moves, and he takes every step. He is awesome."
When Wang Qianjin heard Chen Tongzhi's praise, he said puzzledly: "Old leader, I originally thought he was just lighting a fire on a temporary basis, wasn't he?"
Chen Tongzhi said: "How could it be temporary? He has been here for a long time. If he just lighted the fire casually, then the personnel, style, and team can be changed. Why wait until now? And his character has always been calm, so he must have carefully considered it."
An action.”
Wang Qianjin added: "I heard that there are several people in the province who are rumored to be candidates for this position, including Deputy Governor Yu Xiaobo. So before Zhu Zhengwen came, some people were already thinking about this position.
After that, he secretly made some enemies. As the saying goes: A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. I guess this incident was deliberately done by someone to suppress him."
Chen Tongzhi said: "That's right. Now it's a situation where two heroes are competing for hegemony: Zhu Zhengwen comes with the momentum, and some people are deeply rooted. What do you think the result will be?"
Wang Qianjin gave a wry smile and said: "Old leader, what you have said is that you cannot tell how long or deep the roots of a big tree are from the surface, and officials cannot tell how deep or high the background is from the surface. Both sides
, I’m afraid it’s not clear who is stronger or weaker on the surface. But from the current point of view, the opposing party is strong enough. Even sensitive events like the Jiang’an incident dare to use them as chips to bet. They are obviously confident enough...
…”
At this point, he glanced at Chen Tongzhi carefully, wanting to see his reaction.
Chen Tongzhi smiled again and said: "We've got it right. Yes, many people are betting on the future situation. Of course, there are also people watching, hoping to wait until they see who has a greater chance of winning. It may be possible.
Some people never come out and just want to be an audience."
Wang Qian said: "Old leader, your words inspire me every time. - In your opinion, who has a greater chance of winning now?"
Chen Tongzhi said: "If you could tell, you wouldn't be betting now. If you were an insider, would you easily reveal your trump card to others? Definitely not. Those who are confident will be the last to reveal their cards.
It’s about cards, that’s why gambling is so attractive.”
Wang Qianjin thought about it and said: "Old leader, do you think someone like me should bet on it, watch on the sidelines, or just be an audience all the time?"
Chen Tongzhi said: "Moving forward, you are a person who wants to make continuous progress. In the end, that kind of person is definitely not suitable for you. In officialdom, avoid stepping on two boats, and avoid being unsteady. Anyone who wants to pursue progress must generally make a bet in advance.
Be careful, otherwise when the dust settles, it will have nothing to do with you whether you are the loser or the winner. You must understand this truth, but I can’t give you advice now because I can’t understand it now.”
Wang Qian said: "Old leader, if you were in my situation, what would you do? I always feel that I promised Jiang'an Village a week ago, and if the promise is not fulfilled at tomorrow's press conference, I will be very upset."
Chen Tongzhi did not answer directly, but suddenly said: "Qianqian now works at Jiangnan Satellite TV, did you know?"
Wang Qian said: "Of course, I accidentally met her at Jiang An's place a week ago. She is getting more and more beautiful. Does she have a boyfriend?"
Chen Tongzhi said softly: "There is someone from the Public Security Department who has been chasing her."
"Public Security Department?" These sensitive words suddenly aroused Wang Qianjin's nerves.
Chen Tongzhi said: "Yes, my surname is Zhu."
Wang Qianjin's eyes lit up and he thought of something.
Chen Tongzhi continued: "Some things are also related to fate. For example, when I reach this age, I will retire in two years. I will focus more on my children, and I want to let nature take its course."
Wang Qianjin thought for a while and then said: "Old leader, I am quite interested in Qianqian's suitor. I want to meet him in two days. Do you think it is convenient?"
Chen Tongzhi said calmly: "It doesn't matter. It's just like my attitude towards him pursuing Qianqian: I didn't agree and I didn't stop him. - Young people, you will have to rely on yourself in the future."
After listening to this, Wang Qianjin seemed to have relieved his worries, and said with a relaxed face: "I can finally sleep peacefully tonight. I haven't slept well in the past few days!"
Chen Tongzhi asked: "Really? Do you know how tomorrow's press conference will be held?"
Wang Qianjin nodded, and answered somewhat unintentionally: "Just treat it as a meeting gift. I hope the elders will like it after Xiao Zhu brings it back."
Chen Tongzhi smiled and said: "Some people like it, and of course some people don't. I just hope you don't blame me in the future."
Wang Qian said: "Old leader, where have you been? I will always have nothing but gratitude and respect for you. I will at most be a little regretful in the future, but I will definitely not regret it, because this gift is also given to the villagers of Jiang'an Village. Since
If it is for them, then I will do it. This is what you have always taught me."
Chen Tongzhi took a deep look at him and smiled happily.
Indeed, the seemingly accidental encounter between Zhu Zhi and Chen Qian directly changed certain relationships and profoundly affected the future pattern...
