The table is a round table. Fengyu Xia Churong and Secretary Zhao of the Disciplinary Inspection Commission sit on either side of Zhang Qiang, one on the right and one on the left. There is an empty seat in the middle, which belongs to Ge Hui. On the other side of Xia Churong is Minister Zhou. Hu Xiaoying sits under Secretary Zhao.
When Liang Jian saw it, he wanted to sit on Minister Zhou's side, at least not next to him. It would distance him a little physically and not be so close. Maybe he could deceive himself and not feel so uncomfortable.
Coincidentally, Gao Chenghan and Yao Song were the first to sit next to Minister Zhou. Maybe it was destiny, or maybe Liang Jian's subconscious deceived Liang Jian's reason, and somehow they sat like this.
Situation. Hu Xiaoying is on his right and Xiang Jin is on his left. He is like the ancients. One hand is the "blessing of Qi people". However, the pain behind this "blessing of Qi people" is only him.
Or maybe only the three of them know it.
When the food was halfway through, Ge Hui sat down. The meal had begun. Zhang Qiang briefly said a few opening remarks, and then everyone congratulated them in turn. After that, it seemed much more casual. They chatted and talked about their own things.
Talking and laughing, Yao Song spoke to Liang Jian across Xiang Jin.
Yao Song's appearance at this dinner was a surprise for Liang Jian. Liang Jian was curious, but it was difficult to ask. After thinking about it in his mind, he could only assume that Zhang Qiang was considerate that he had not returned to Ningzhou for a long time and did not follow these few people.
Old friends were reminiscing about old times, so we called him together. This is not unreasonable. Liang Jian only has a few close friends in Ningzhou. Chu Liang had been arranged by Old Tang to go to the army some time ago.
, the only male friends here are Gao Chenghan and Yao Song. So, if you think about it this way, it makes sense, but it always feels a bit far-fetched. But Liang Jian didn't think much about it. Since it was Zhang Qiang who invited him,
Naturally, he has his reasons for being strong.
After the two said a few words, Zhang Qiang suddenly called Liang Jian, and Liang Jian turned back to look at Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang said: "After a while, our Minister Zhou may go to Yongzhou for investigation. Can you do it then?"
Be well entertained!”
This is a big deal. The head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee came down to investigate. I am afraid that some people in Yongzhou City will have to work hard again. Liang Jian thought about it and said with a smile: "This is natural. Don't worry, I will definitely do it."
Treat Minister Zhou well."
Minister Zhou took the words and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that this was said in our secretary's house. It would be terrible if someone heard it outside."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people laughed. Secretary Zhang said: "As long as you behave correctly, you will be fine. Besides, in China's thousands of years of history, visitors are guests, and it has always been true to treat guests with courtesy.
Yes. Just don’t pass by.”
"Yes. Since the secretary has said it, then Liang Jian, you have to treat me to dinner. There is no need to go to a five-star hotel, just treat me to your home for a home-cooked meal!" Minister Zhou said with a smile.
Liang Jian hurriedly nodded in agreement: "As long as Minister Zhou is willing to show his face and don't say anything, it will be fine for a month."
Minister Zhou laughed happily. Next, Minister Zhou, Secretary Zhao, Zhang Qiang, and Xia Churong talked about something again. Liang Jian raised his head and met Gao Chenghan's eyes. The two of them smiled knowingly and said nothing.
Because everyone was driving, neither of them drank. A meal without wine always lasts a little shorter. In less than an hour, the dinner came to an end. Zhang Qiang put down the bowls and chopsticks and asked: "We are all full."
?”
Naturally, no one answered. Zhang Qiang smiled and said, "Then let's talk somewhere else."
Everyone stood up, and the aunt came over to pack things. Ge Hui followed suit. Hu Xiaoying also extended her hand to help. As a result, the remaining Xiang Jin walked away.
Seeing Xiang Jin and Hu Xiaoying together, Liang Jian felt a little panicked for some reason. He stood still for a moment, and Gao Chenghan called him: "Liang Jian, let's go."
Liang Jian looked back at Gao Chenghan, who gave him a comforting look and said silently: "It's okay." He could see his worry.
Since he has seen it, Zhang Qiang must have seen it too. In addition, Xia Churong, Secretary Zhao, and Minister Zhou are probably not the only ones who have seen nothing.
Liang Jian sighed in his heart and followed Gao Chenghan. The group of people arrived in the garden. The late autumn night was already a bit cold. The wind blew with a hint of coolness, invading the skin, making people wake up all of a sudden.
Quite a bit. Liang Jian's somewhat chaotic thoughts also calmed down.
Zhang Qiang and others had already sat down in the garden. The aunt came out with tea, put it away one by one, and then returned to the house. After Liang Jian and Gao Chenghan sat down, Yao Song, who had been standing next to them, also sat down.
After sitting down, under the dim light, Liang Jian discovered that Zhang Qiang and Xia Churong's expressions had changed from their previous relaxed and casual expressions to become a little serious.
Liang Jian looked at Zhang Qiang. It seemed that this dinner was not just a gathering before farewell. He probably had something to say. Sure enough, Zhang Qiang soon spoke and said: "I'll call you all over for this meal today."
, mainly for two reasons. The first point, as you all know, is that I am leaving. Now that I am leaving, I am afraid there will be fewer opportunities to meet in the future. So, I want to get together with you before I leave.
It can be regarded as being put into practice for me. The second point is that I have something to say."
Minister Zhou answered: "Speak, we will listen."
Zhang Qiang nodded and said: "You should already know about the new provincial secretary and governor. Although the forces behind them are not incompatible above, they are similar. Going forward, Jiangzhong Province may not
It will calm down."
As soon as Zhang Qiang finished speaking, Minister Zhou and the others' expressions became solemn. Zhang Qiang looked at them, and then set his eyes on Xia Churong. At this time, there was a trace of hesitation on his face.
Xia Churong happened to see it and asked: "Secretary, just say what you want. If you have anything to say to us," Zhang Qiang smiled after hearing this, but Liang Jian looked at his smile with a heavy smile. Then
, he heard Zhang Qiang say: "Churong, you have been the director of the Provincial Public Security Department for a long time. After I leave, if nothing else happens, you should be the next one."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Xia Churong is the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, and this official is not young. However, there were no signs before that he was leaving. At this moment, Zhang Qiang suddenly mentioned it, very suddenly
.Everyone felt a little unbelievable. Moreover, the position of director of the Provincial Public Security Department was very important. Even Yao Song's level could understand the stakes. Everyone looked at Zhang Qiang with serious expressions on their faces.
Liang Jian opened his mouth to ask if the news was confirmed. But when he reached his lips, he swallowed it back. After all, Minister Xia Churong and Zhou did not speak. After all, Liang Jian's rank was still lower, so it was not appropriate to speak first.
But naturally someone wanted to ask the question he wanted to ask. Secretary Zhao of the Discipline Inspection Commission asked: "Jiangzhong Province has changed two heads this time. If the director of the Public Security Department also changes, it may cause instability."
ah!"
Zhang Qiang sighed and said: "Indeed. But since the above has this idea, it should have been considered."
"If that's the case, then why are the higher-ups doing this? Jiangzhong Province has developed well in the past few years. If things go wrong this time, it is likely to affect Jiangzhong's economy and make the efforts of the past few years go to waste!" Secretary Zhao of the Discipline Inspection Commission
He looked a little excited. Zhang Qiang looked at him and said, "Your worries are not unreasonable. But we can't control the ideas above. The situation above is also very chaotic. I'm afraid it's another power exchange."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. The exchange of power can be seen everywhere in today's officialdom games, so it is not surprising. Many times, when they are making such exchanges, they are more concerned about how to
In this way, we can strive for more benefits for ourselves and for those on our side, and rarely or even never consider what kind of arrangement is most beneficial to the people and the city.
But just like Zhang Qiang said, there are some things that they can't control. Even if they are already high-ranking officials, they still can't help themselves.
This helplessness made the atmosphere here instantly hit the bottom, feeling depressed and gloomy. It took a long while before someone broke the silence. It was Minister Zhou who asked: "Is there any news about where Comrade Churong will be transferred?"
Zhang Qiang shook his head and said: "This is not clear yet. However, Churong is a few years younger than me and his performance has always been good. So, you don't have to worry too much about where to go next."
Xia Churong, who had been frowning and silent, finally spoke: "Where did this news come from?" Before Zhang Qiang answered, he glanced at Liang Jian. Minister Zhou and the others saw this look, and they should have understood the meaning. He said
: "I heard it the last time I went to Beijing."
"Are you sure?" Xia Churong didn't seem to want to leave Jiangzhong Province, so he showed some resistance to the news. Zhang Qiang looked at him, sighed, and said, "I know you have feelings for Jiangzhong Province. But now that we are on the road,
On this road, we always have to go from one place to another. Besides, taking another step forward is also a good thing for you."
Xia Churong said: "I understand what you said. But you also know that Jiangzhong means something different to me."
Secretary Zhao next to him patted him on the shoulder and said: "After so many years, there are some things, so let's put them down." Xia Churong stopped talking, but his expression was not very good.
Zhang Qiang shook his head, sighed, turned to Minister Zhou, and said: "In the future, no matter who takes over Chu Rong's position, the river will probably not be peaceful. A fight between three parties, or a fight between two parties.
Fight. You and Secretary Zhao are in an important position, and you will definitely be at the forefront when the time comes."
Secretary Zhao of the Discipline Inspection Commission took over and said: "What is coming will come, and there is no escape. Even if Chu Rong is still in this position, I am afraid it will be difficult for Minister Zhou and I to survive alone."
This is true. If the provincial governor and provincial secretary are at odds, it will inevitably lead to a fierce battle. Minister Zhou and Secretary Zhao, one is the organization director and the other is the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, must be the ones they are competing to win over. How can they stay out of it?
.If Xia Churong was still there and the three of them supported each other, they might be able to maintain some of the situation. But without one person, the strength would appear weaker. Minister Zhou sighed and said, "Actually, we are all used to this situation.
After all, it is difficult for people not to be greedy for something like power and to be willing to bow down and act like a coward."
