When Hu Fei returned to the Wuling Municipal Party Committee Courtyard, it was already the evening of the sixth day of the first lunar month. Nothing major happened in the city in the past few days since he left Wuling, and Qin Xiaoyong also reported everything to Hu Fei in detail.
Unsurprisingly, the situation in Wuling's officialdom has changed a lot during the Spring Festival. It is said that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hai Minghui's home received a steady stream of visitors, while on the other hand, the home of Executive Vice Mayor Peng Shuangquan was filled with visitors.
It was much deserted, and even his closest confidants, He Cheng, did not come to visit.
This news made Hu Fei feel a little relieved, not because of the political acumen of Wuling cadres, but because of He Cheng's decisive decision.
This not only means that He Cheng also realized that Peng Shuangquan's end is coming, but also the letter of surrender that He Cheng made for him.
"Boss, please take a rest. I'll boil a kettle of water for you. The water in the water dispenser has been sitting there for several days and is no longer drinkable."
Qin Xiaoyong simply tidied up the room, got up and went into the kitchen.
Hu Fei nodded and turned on the TV to watch the news.
"Boss, many people in the municipal party committee compound are bleeding heavily this Spring Festival."
Qin Xiaoyong walked into the living room, and while wiping the furniture in the living room with a rag, he whispered, "I heard that going to the house opposite to pay New Year's greetings will cost twice as much as before!"
He did not say a specific name, but Hu Fei understood what he meant. Who was the person on the other side of Qin Xiaoyong's mouth? He sighed softly, "Xiao Qin, don't talk about this outside."
"Boss, I'm just telling you that I never participate in other people's discussions about these things."
Qin Xiaoyong chuckled.
"Okay, Xiao Qin, you should go back and rest, and spend time with your family when you have time."
Hu Fei nodded. He knew that Qin Xiaoyong was tight-lipped. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept him by his side. "By the way, how are you preparing for your wedding?"
"Boss, everything is ready, but I'm afraid I will have to ask for leave on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."
Qin Xiaoyong smiled and nodded, "How about I wait until the ceremony before going back?"
"How can that be done? It makes me look like a *capitalist."
Hu Fei laughed and waved his hand, "However, I really can't live without you. Okay, go back and rest. There will be nothing else to do tomorrow, so you don't need to come. Go home and prepare for the wedding."
Although Hu Fei took the initiative to give Qin Xiaoyong leave, he still rushed to the Standing Committee House early on the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. When Hu Fei saw him coming, he couldn't let him go back, so he let him go. Anyway, there should be nothing wrong with the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
Although it hasn't snowed for several days, the thick snow has begun to melt and the road conditions have become even worse.
Moreover, the leaders of the provincial party committee have been to Wuling many times before, and they may not make such a trip today.
After breakfast, Hu Fei went to the municipal party committee duty room and walked around. The government duty room was naturally not left behind. Fortunately, after Wang Huan's two outbursts, the atmosphere in Wuling official circles has improved a lot, at least in terms of work attitude, no one dares
No matter how perfunctory they are, they all perform their duties conscientiously.
Hu Fei also knew that there were many bad habits in officialdom in the country, and it would not be possible to eradicate them overnight. We could only do it step by step and slowly.
In the morning, Hu Fei went to the Municipal Environmental Sanitation Bureau to inspect and express condolences to the sanitation workers who were still fighting on the front line during the Spring Festival. He expressed condolences to them on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government and sent New Year blessings to them.
Of course, these were news of political significance, and the sanitation workers also cooperated very well. However, when Hu Fei left, he said something and asked the Environmental Sanitation Bureau to count the names of workers on duty during the Spring Festival and report them to the city government.
In the office, the city government needs to give them some overtime subsidies.
After Hu Fei announced the news, thunderous applause immediately erupted on the scene, and he could tell that the applause came from the heart.
"Boss, will this make other leaders unhappy?"
Several cars slowly drove out of the Municipal Environmental Sanitation Bureau compound. Qin Xiaoyong looked back at Hu Fei and said, "Several other municipal party committee leaders did not do this when they expressed condolences."
"Xiao Qin, you reminded me very well, but I didn't consider this."
Hu Fei nodded, "Let's do this. You call Secretary General Xiang and ask him to bring up the list of all units on duty during the Spring Festival. Everyone will be paid 200 yuan in overtime pay. Comrades in sanitation and public security will have an even harder time.
The salary is 200 more than other positions."
"Okay, I'll call Secretary General Xiang right away."
Qin Xiaoyong nodded and quickly took out his mobile phone.
At noon, Hu Fei and the other three had dinner upstairs. When they returned to the Standing Committee House, they asked Zheng Xiaopeng to take Qin Xiaoyong home and told him to go back and prepare for the wedding in peace and not come back in the afternoon.
However, Hu Fei did not expect that leaders of the provincial party committee would actually come to Wuling in the afternoon.
When he received the call from the municipal party committee, Hu Fei was surfing the Internet in the office. Through posts on foreign financial forums, Hu Fei discovered that the subprime mortgage crisis had intensified and was approaching with great force.
It is estimated that it will fully erupt in the United States within a few months, and Europe will not be able to hold out for a few months. As a result, it will soon spread to the world.
The country will inevitably be affected, and the government's first reaction is to tighten money and boost domestic demand. It seems that this highway must be built as soon as possible.
While I was thinking about it, the phone on the table rang.
The duty leader of the Provincial Party Committee is Zuo Xiaomei, the Propaganda Minister of the Provincial Party Committee. Hu Fei has not had much contact with her and does not know her well. However, for a woman to become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Propaganda Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, it is naturally not an easy role.
Hu Fei was not too surprised that Zuo Xiaomei came to Wuling for inspection. He also knew very well that Zuo Xiaomei's original intention for coming to inspect was not just for inspection work, but most likely for the position of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister.
Hu Fei waited for about ten minutes, and Zuo Xiaomei arrived.
After briefly reporting on the city's situation in the office, Zuo Xiaomei drank a cup of hot tea, and then Municipal Party Committee Secretary Hai Minghui, Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary Deng Fangmei and others hurriedly arrived.
Tomorrow is the official day to go to work. Most of the members of the Standing Committee who are not in Wuling have also returned to work. When they heard the news, they naturally hurried to the county party committee compound.
Except for Liu Bo, the Propaganda Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, everyone else was basically present.
As the top leader of the municipal party committee, Hai Minghui reported the work of the municipal party committee to Zuo Xiaomei. Hu Fei briefly reported on Wuling's economic construction, and then Zuo Xiaomei gave the speech.
"Comrades, I have been to Wuling several times, and every time there are changes, this shows that the leadership teams of our Wuling Municipal Party Committee are all very good..."
Zuo Xiaomei simply praised a few words and changed the topic, "Coming to Wuling today was unplanned. When I came out of Deshan, I thought that the highway project from Deshan City to Wuling had been approved, so I wanted to come and take a look.
I didn’t expect Wuling to be more beautiful than when I came here two years ago.”
"Something happened in Wuling last year. I know everyone has emotions in their hearts. However, this is the provincial party committee's encouragement to you. I hope everyone will not work with emotions and work together to develop and build Wuling."
