"Afei, you came out a long time ago. No wonder I didn't find you inside."
When Bai Fangcheng saw Hu Fei coming over, his face suddenly beamed with joy. He held Hu Fei's hand tightly and was excited, "I was just planning to go have a drink with you. Chen Quan and the others are having a dinner party tonight. It's just the two of us tonight."
His voice paused, "But, I will be your host tonight."
"Okay, I'm not happy if someone treats me."
Hu Fei laughed and nodded, "Let's go, are you driving?"
"I drove my own car here, so I'd better go to Furong Restaurant."
Bai Fangcheng nodded.
The two of them drove to Furong Restaurant. The foreman in the lobby immediately became happy when he saw Hu Fei and the two of them. During this period, a group of them came here almost once a week, and they all became regular customers here.
After some pleasantries, Hu Fei and the two entered the commonly used private room.
"Lao Bai, didn't your uncle go further this year?"
Hu Fei picked up the tea cup and took a sip, looking at Bai Fangcheng with a smile.
"I would like him to take another step forward."
Bai Fangcheng sighed, "Unfortunately, I heard that the Provincial Party Committee will make big moves in the near future. Haven't you noticed that our Baisha Municipal Party Committee has been vacant this year?"
"Don't tell me, I've been so busy lately, I don't have time to pay attention to these things."
Hu Fei sighed. This is not a lie. During this period, he really had no time to pay attention to official affairs, especially since Wuling was too far away from Baisha. If he wanted to know the news, he could only find someone to inquire about it, but he was busy all day long.
I'm so busy that I don't have time to gossip.
"Brother, I'm convinced by you."
Bai Fangcheng was speechless and gave a thumbs up with his right hand, "It seems that you have become stupid by staying in that corner of Wuling. However, it doesn't matter to you. With the governor watching over you, as long as you have political achievements, you can be promoted with just one sentence.
"
"My wife's uncle has gone to Yongzhou City to serve as the municipal party committee secretary."
"Ah, Mayor Liu went to Yongzhou to be secretary. What did you just say about the vacancy of Baisha Municipal Party Committee Secretary?"
Hu Fei was stunned when he heard this. The uncle of Bai Fangcheng's wife Liu Yanling is Baisha Mayor Liu Taiming. Logically speaking, if Baisha Municipal Party Committee Secretary takes a back seat, Liu Taiming should take over as Municipal Party Committee Secretary. Why is he now going to Yongzhou to serve as Municipal Party Committee Secretary?
Not promotion on the spot?
"Afei, it seems you really don't pay attention to the situation in the province."
Bai Fangcheng shook his head, took out a cigarette and handed it to Hu Fei, "The old secretary of the city has gone to the Provincial People's Congress. The provincial party committee has not appointed a new leader. I heard that the provincial party committee decided to carry out key rectifications in Baisha City. It may be by
A member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee will also serve as the top leader. In this case, it is reasonable for my uncle to be transferred from Baisha."
Baisha City is not a city under separate state planning, which means that its administrative establishment is only at the department level. If a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee serves as the top leader, will it be equivalent to raising the administrative establishment of Baisha City by half a level in disguise?
"Lao Bai, this is a good thing. Maybe the leading cadres of Baisha City will be promoted to half a level."
Hu Fei lit the cigarette and took a puff. He had dinner with Bai Fangcheng tonight just to deal with Sheng Huaming. He had nothing else to do. He just wanted to talk to him about the evidence in Jiangnan Province.
"How is it possible? It seems that the municipal party committee secretary is a member of the provincial party committee's standing committee, and everything else remains unchanged."
Bai Fangcheng shook his head, "Otherwise, do you think the central government would watch us in Jiangnan do this? The Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee came to serve as the side of the Municipal Party Committee, mainly to express an attitude that the Provincial Party Committee attaches great importance to the construction and development of Baisha City."
"However, the municipal party committee secretary who is also a member of the provincial party committee's standing committee will definitely not focus all his energy on the municipal party committee, so the mayor's power will be much greater."
His voice paused and he blinked, "Afei, I think you can do some exercise. Coming to Baisha City to be the mayor is much better than working in Wuling. With your ability, you can be more successful on the stage of Baisha City."
If you can show it, you are not thirty-four this year, maybe you can be promoted to deputy governor when you are thirty-seven or eighteen!"
To be honest, Hu Fei was very tempted by Bai Fangcheng's proposal. No one in the officialdom is eager for progress. Even if he was promoted yesterday and sees a better position appearing today, he will be jealous even if he knows that it is impossible to grab this position.
Endless.
This is probably the case when people's hearts are not enough.
"Old Bai, you think too much."
Hu Fei shook his head, "I was just elected mayor in Wuling. Do you think the provincial party committee made me the mayor to promote me? You are wrong. I was asked to put out fires."
His voice paused and he sighed softly, "Unless Wuling City's economy develops and Wuling's officialdom is not rectified, I guess the provincial party committee will not let me leave Wuling."
"Afei, this is really a good opportunity."
Bai Fangcheng sighed, "Promotion in the officialdom is like taking a bus. Even if you arrive a step late, if you miss it, you will have to wait for the next bus. Who knows if there will be a seat on the next bus? If there is no seat, you will have to wait for another bus."
Push back.”
"Old Bai, I'm jealous too."
Hu Fei nodded and sighed, "Although the opportunity is good, it's not my cup of tea."
While they were talking, there was a knock on the door, and the lobby manager walked in. He enthusiastically gave Hu Fei and the two a VIP card, toasted them with a glass of wine, and left.
Hu Fei and Hu Fei were chatting happily, but it was difficult to continue after being interrupted like this, so they concentrated on eating and drinking. After a few glasses of wine, they chatted and became more excited again.
"Afei, actually it would be good for you to work peacefully in Wuling for a few years."
Bai Fangcheng took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, "Although the conditions in Wuling are very poor, this can better reflect your ability. Besides, with the governor here, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to get ahead?"
"By the way, Lao Bai, your uncle went to Yongzhou City to serve as the municipal party committee secretary. Then where did Secretary Cao Yunfeng and Cao go?"
Hu Fei took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth. He raised his head and glanced at Bai Fangcheng. Mayor Zhou Quanfu of Yongzhou has been serving for almost two terms. It would be really unreasonable if he doesn't promote someone this time.
However, Liu Taiming went to Yongzhou to serve as the top leader, and Zhou Quanfu could no longer be promoted in Yongzhou.
"Cao Yunfeng went to Hengchuan to serve as the top leader, and Yongzhou Mayor Zhou Quanfu went to Baoqing City to serve as the municipal party committee secretary."
Bai Fangcheng shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, "Afei, I guess you are the person who least cares about current affairs in our Jiangnan officialdom. Oh my God, when people are in your position, their eyes are always on the provincial level and above.
As for your position, it would be better for you to sit on your one-third of an acre of land every day and keep your head down for your own development."
"However, if you do your work without any distractions, you will get results quickly. Plus, with the governor watching over you, promotion will be a matter of time."
"I have been promoted quickly enough, and now I just want to keep my feet on the ground and do some work."
Hu Fei shook his head and was about to continue talking when his cell phone rang. He took it out and took a look at it. He immediately nodded to Bai Fangcheng and said, "I'll answer the call."
Bai Fangcheng nodded, reached out and picked up the chopsticks.
