Xiao Zheng was startled and asked: "Today's enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee was expanded to include deputy positions?" This is a bit unreasonable.
Under normal circumstances, the Standing Committee meeting to announce cadres will be held at the Standing Committee level if the general deputies report. If the top leaders of the National People's Congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference report, it will also be extended to the members of the leadership team of the National People's Congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Only the top leaders of the party and government will report, and the meeting
It will be expanded to the top leaders of lower-level localities and directly affiliated agencies and departments.
Liu Shisen is the director of the Propaganda Department. Even if he serves as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, and Director of the Public Security Bureau, he is only an important deputy leader. It is a bit exaggerated to expand the Standing Committee meeting to include the top leaders of prefectures and cities like Cao Guang.
Why should a deputy like Xiao Zheng be allowed to participate? This is a bit unreasonable, so Xiao Zheng asked this question.
"It has not been extended to deputy positions." Xiao Li from the Provincial Party Committee General Office said, "This Standing Committee meeting was only extended to prefecture-level and municipal-level party and government officials. Party and government officials in provincial-level agencies were not notified to participate. As for Minister Xiao, you are
The new Standing Committee Member Liu requested that Secretary Jiang agree to your participation."
What? Liu Shisen actually named himself to attend the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee?! Xiao Zheng was surprised on the one hand, and a little worried on the other. Liu Shisen is the son of a large family in Huajing, and he sometimes does things willfully and unrestrainedly.
This can be seen from his cousin Fang Ya. Xiao Zheng knew that Liu Shisen did this to show that he valued Xiao Zheng as a brother, but if he just followed his temper when he arrived, he might be harmed.
My own image!
Xiao Zheng felt that at this time, it would be better for him not to be the fault of others, so he said: "I'm sorry, Director Li, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it."
Xiao Li from the Provincial Party Committee General Office, whether he is the director or not, Xiao Zheng feels that he should be politely called "director", and there will be nothing wrong.
"Minister Xiao, you are so polite." The other party realized it and said, "Minister Xiao, the leader has already told me that you are currently at the Yuerong Hotel in Yinzhou, so please be sure to attend. If you don't have a car, we will save you money."
The committee office can send a special car to pick you up."
This statement was completely beyond Xiao Zheng's expectation! He didn't want to go, and the Provincial Party Committee Office also said that it would send a car to pick him up. Xiao Zheng didn't want to show off such a profile that was inconsistent with his identity. He would immediately
He said: "Since the leader has told me to go, I can go there myself. Director Li, you also know that when I said I couldn't go just now, I actually felt that I was not qualified to participate in such a high-level meeting."
Xiao Li said: "Minister Xiao, you are so humble. That's it. When you get here in the evening, you can call me and I will greet you and take you to the conference room."
"No, no need." Xiao Zheng said, "I can find the conference room by myself."
Xiao Li said: "Then it's settled, please be sure to be there."
Xiao Zheng said: "No problem. Goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, he turned around and saw Cao Guangzheng, mayor of Yinzhou next to him, looking at him in surprise: "Comrade Xiao Zheng, are you also attending the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee tonight?"
Xiao Zheng glanced at the phone in his hand, nodded, and said, "I've been notified too."
Cao Guang was surprised: "How big is this meeting?"
Xiao Zheng could only shake his head and explain to Cao Guang.
Cao Guang looked at Xiao Zheng in surprise: "This is really incredible! The leader named you to participate in the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee? Minister Xiao, do you have any special relationship with Member Liu of the Standing Committee?"
Looking at Cao Guang's scrutinizing eyes, Xiao Zheng didn't want to make any exaggeration, so he said: "It's just that we are familiar with each other."
Cao Guang stared at him with wide eyes: "I'm just familiar with you? Are you invited to attend the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee? This 'familiarity' is definitely not a simple 'familiarity'! Tonight, I won't go back to the city to eat.
It’s dinner, I’ll invite Minister Xiao to have dinner here later, and then we’ll go to the meeting together.”
Xiao Zheng said: "I am staying in this hotel, how can I ask Mayor Cao to treat me? Of course I am the one to treat you."
Cao Guang had a vague feeling that Xiao Zheng's network of connections might be far beyond his imagination. He had to make good use of it, so he said: "Although you live in this hotel, I am the mayor of Yinzhou. You come from Xihaitou."
If you come here, you are naturally a guest, so I will treat you to dinner."
Xiao Zheng couldn't resist him, so he had to let Cao Guang invite him to have dinner at the Yuerong Hotel. The two of them had a simple meal, but there was nothing cheap in the Yuerong Hotel. The two of them ate more than 600 yuan without drinking. Cao Guang himself
I paid for it.
Because they were going to attend the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee, Xiao Zheng and Cao Guang did not dare to neglect and set off an hour early. When walking from the restaurant to the lobby, Xiao Zheng went to the front desk and asked, has Mr. Wei come back?
Everyone at the front desk knew Xiao Zheng and replied respectfully: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Wei has not come back yet. If she comes back, we will definitely report to her that you are here."
Xiao Zheng nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm just asking casually." Then he followed Cao Guang out, with Cao Guang's car in front and Xiao Zheng's car behind, and they headed to the Provincial Party Committee together.
The road conditions were good, so when the two arrived at the provincial party committee, there were still 40 minutes before the meeting.
Cao Guangdao: "It's still early. I'll go to the two offices for a walk and get close to each other. How do you do?"
Xiao Zheng said: "I'll go find the conference room and wait inside." Cao Guang said: "Then I'll see you later."
As soon as Cao Guang left, Xiao Zheng's phone rang. When he saw it was Liu Shisen, Xiao Zheng hurriedly picked it up: "Director Liu."
Liu Shisen said: "You should call me Standing Committee Member Liu. But that's right, after all, it hasn't been announced yet. Do you want to come and see my office?"
Xiao Zheng asked: "You don't have to accompany the leaders of the Huajing Organization Department?"
Liu Shisen said: "I have someone with me. I'll familiarize myself with the office first. If you arrive early, come over."
Xiao Zheng said: "I have arrived."
Liu Shisen told Xiao Zheng his office and said, "I'll wait for you in the office."
Xiao Zheng came to the secretary's office of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of the Provincial Committee, which shows that Liu Shisen will indeed serve as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and the director of the Department of Public Security!
Liu Shisen's office is also an ordinary leader's office. Compared with Cao Guang's mayor's office, this office is a bit older, but it is still of the same quality, with solid wood floors and black leather sofas. The previous one just cleared out the things, so it looks a bit...
Empty.
Liu Shisen asked: "Take a look, what do you think?"
Xiao Zheng looked around and said with a smile: "It would be great to add some green plants and some books to the bookcase."
Liu Shisen said seriously: "Okay, good, let the office arrange it tomorrow."
Xiao Zheng was thinking about something and said, "Brother Liu, can you tell me now what position you hold?"
Liu Shisen said: "There will be a meeting soon, and this dumb duck can't escape. I can tell you, I serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and Director of the Public Security Department. How about this position? Is this position okay?"
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "A very important position. Since Brother Liu holds such an important position, you have asked me to attend today. There is something I want to tell you in advance!"
Liu Shisen turned around. He was wearing a suit and a white shirt, looking cool and natural. He looked at Xiao Zheng: "You're welcome."
Xiao Zheng told how Yinzhou was about to start cracking down on gangsters and evil, but encountered resistance.
Liu Shisen asked: "What is the situation of this 'Yinzhou Bull'? Is it similar to the Panshan 'Road Bull' that beat me at that time?"
Xiao Zheng told Liu Shisen the situation of Yinzhou Ba, including the suspension of investigation of Xiang Buzi and Xie Yiping of Yinzhou City Public Security Bureau.
After hearing this, Liu Shisen said with great interest: "This 'Yinzhou Ba' is quite clever! How come he really has such a large piece of gold in his office that no one can move it?"
Xiao Zheng nodded and said: "It should be, that's what they say!"
Liu Shisen nodded: "Good guy! I understand this situation. By the way, I specifically asked the Provincial Party Committee Office to let you attend the meeting today."
Xiao Zheng said: "Will this break the rules of the meeting? I'm afraid it's not good for you?"
Liu Shisen looked at Xiao Zheng and smiled: "If I want to abide by the rules here, why would I come down here?"
These words also spoke to Xiao Zheng's heart. Indeed, Liu Shisen did not come down here to plate gold, nor did he come to say hello to me, nor did he come to say hello to everyone, let alone make everyone happy. He wanted to make many people unhappy.
Happy!
Xiao Zheng said: "I understand, Brother Liu, you have your own way of doing things, I believe in you."
Liu Shisen looked at Xiao Zheng and said with a smile: "Just wait and see the good show!"
These words made Xiao Zheng feel a little excited for a while.
It was almost time, and someone from the office came to notify Liu Shisen of the meeting. Liu Shisen did not go with Xiao Zheng because he had to meet with Jiang Kuigang, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and the leader of the Huajing Organization Department first.
Xiao Zheng reached the door of the conference room. A strange young man with a height of 1.75 meters and fine features saw Xiao Zheng and immediately stepped forward: "Minister Xiao, are you here? I'm waiting for you."
Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Are you Director Li?"
The young man smiled and nodded: "I am Xiao Li..."
"Hey, what are you doing here?" A voice came from the side. It was Lu Guitao, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Director. He looked at Xiao Zheng and said, "Xiao Zheng, are you mistaken? Today's enlarged meeting will only be extended to full-time employees.
"
Xiao Zheng noticed that Lu Guitao was walking in front, followed by Jiang Kuigang, secretary of the provincial party committee, Gong Yong, the governor, leaders of the Huajing Organization Department, and Liu Shisen.
When Lu Guitao asked, the other leading cadres who were walking into the conference room looked at Xiao Zheng questioningly, thinking that he had really made a mistake, with meaningful mocking smiles on their faces.
At this time, Jiang Kuigang, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and others, had already approached and heard what Lu Guitao said. Jiang Kuigang said: "Comrade Guitao, I forgot to tell you this matter. Comrade Xiao Zheng, at the request of Comrade Shisen
I came to listen, and I agreed. Therefore, Comrade Xiao Zheng is not mistaken in coming here now."
As soon as Jiang Kuigang said these words, the expressions of the prefectural and municipal leaders with mocking smiles suddenly froze, surprised, or confused.
At such an expanded meeting of the Standing Committee, a deputy director like Xiao Zheng was allowed to attend. What is the reason behind this?
These people didn't dare to underestimate Xiao Zheng, and secretly made a mental note of Xiao Zheng. I'm afraid they would have to give him more face when they meet him in the future. On the contrary, at this time, they felt that Lu Guitao was a bit embarrassed today, and it was not in line with the norm.
The organization minister didn’t understand the matter?
Jiang Kuigang didn't care about Lu Guitao's feelings. He said "please" to the people from the Huajing Organization Department next to him and walked inside.
A deputy director of the Organization Department of Huajing, when passing Xiao Zheng, suddenly reached out his hand: "Are you Comrade Xiao Zheng? Minister Duan told me about you, and I got to meet you today!"
