In Guangdong, the autumn rain in southern China is pouring down, and the white mist shrouds the entire city. The gentle breeze is caressing it, and there is already a hint of autumn coolness.
In the heavily guarded compound of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, a black car with a Guancheng license plate slowly drove in. The large iron gate in the yard was closed, and the car quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
In Building No. 8 of the Standing Committee, there was a young man in a neat suit standing downstairs. He had a faint smile on his face and looked a little reserved and a little arrogant.
The car sped through the rain and fog and stopped in front of him. The young man quickly got up and opened the back door of the car. The young man said: "Uncle Zheng, I knew you came at this time. You see, I came out specially to wait for you!"
The person who got out of the back seat of the car was Zheng Liodeng, member of the Standing Committee of the Guancheng Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor.
He got out of the car and said with a smile: "Xiao Xin, you are too polite! You even came out to greet me. How can I bear it?"
At this time, the driver got out of the car and took out two large boxes from the trunk.
Zheng Liaodeng said again: "Xiaoxin, is your old man here?"
The young man was Wan Xin, Wan Aimin's only son. He smiled and said: "The old man is here and he has told me that you are coming. Otherwise, how could I have such good news?"
He stretched out his hand and made an invitation gesture, and said: "Uncle Zheng, go in first. The rain is annoying. Stay in the house and feel more comfortable."
Building 8, study room.
Wan Aimin wore reading glasses and carefully read the recent issues of "Nanfang Daily".
His brows were knitted tightly, and the look on his face was a little uncertain. But at this moment, Wan Xin pushed the door open and walked in with Zheng Liaodeng.
"Dad, Uncle Zheng is here!"
Wan Aimin did not raise his head. His eyes peeked through the slits on his reading glasses and glanced at Zheng Liaodeng, saying, "Here you come?"
These two concise and concise words perfectly expressed his inner feelings at this moment.
Zheng Liaodeng was startled and said: "Governor, it's raining today and it's difficult to travel on the road. I'm a little late!"
Wan Aimin said nothing and gently placed the newspaper on the coffee table. The large color picture on the first page of the newspaper was unusually conspicuous: "The Takeoff of Wancheng".
Zheng Liaodeng glanced at the newspaper. His face changed slightly. Wan Xin observed his words and saw that the old man seemed unhappy, so he said: "Dad, Uncle Zheng, you guys talk. I'll go to the kitchen and take a look. Uncle Zheng, we have to drink later."
How many drinks!”
Zheng Liaodeng did not dare to speak, but gave a hint to Wan Xin with his eyes, and then sat upright, waiting for Wan Aimin's lecture.
The door closed again, and there were only two people left in the room.
Wan Aimin said: "Liao Deng, the situation in your Wancheng city has become more and more popular recently. You have become a very busy man, haven't you?"
Zheng Liaodeng said: "Governor, there are indeed a lot of things going on recently. I have not spent much time in Guangdong, and I have not come to visit you..."
Wan Aimin snorted softly and said: "I thought you wouldn't come! The situation in Guancheng is very good. It seems that you are sinking to do things. That's good. If you can sink to do things, this is
progress!"
Zheng Liaodeng smiled awkwardly and said, "This is what you taught me, Governor."
Wan Aimin waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't make nice remarks. I'm not angry with you. I just think Guancheng is a bit too high-profile? Looking at the current situation, they seem to be overtaking Guangdong and Linzhou.
Above the harbor?
You brag so much when you achieve a little result, but if you achieve a little more, your tail won’t be raised to the sky?”
Zheng Liaodeng was embarrassed and speechless. The situation in Guancheng was beyond his control. Now he was not even among the three giants in Guancheng.
Even within the government, Jiang Shaokun now has a high prestige and his will to be implemented is the mainstream, while Zheng Liandeng does not have much say.
At the beginning, Zheng Liaodeng was still very unhappy with the provincial party committee's personnel appointments, especially with Chen Jing taking the deputy secretary's position that belonged to him. He felt that he had a hard time getting over it.
At first, he thought about wrestling with Chen Jing and wanted to prove his ability.
But as time went by, his original idea seemed so funny.
Chen Jing sat as steady as a mountain in the chair of the deputy secretary, and the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yue Yunsong wanted to give him three points of honor, so Jiang Shaokun was extremely afraid of him.
In terms of prestige in Guancheng, Chen Jing is now close to Jiang Shaokun. It can be said that the two are completely equal. How can he, Zheng Liaodeng, compare with others? They are both members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, but now they are not at the same level at all.
Zheng Liaodeng had his moments of disappointment and moments of unwillingness.
But all these negative emotions eventually turned into motivation for him to continue working.
Zheng Liaodengqingchu, he is incomparable to others. If he continues to appear on the surface, there may no longer be a place for him in Guancheng's political arena.
Zheng Liaodeng made a slight adjustment, changed the subject, and began to introduce Wan Aimin's current development situation in Guancheng, and what he focused on was the situation in Zoumahe.
Zouma River is the core of Guancheng, and the economic reform and urban transformation of Zouma River were also initiated first.
The current situation in Zoumahe can be said to be in full swing, and the locals in Guancheng also regard Zoumahe as a new hope for Guancheng's economic recovery.
Even Jiang Shaokun, who has always been dissatisfied with Chen Jing, seems to be loosening his attitude at these government executive meetings. After all, there will be an assessment in the province at the end of this year, and what Guancheng can do now is the bright spot of Zouma River. Time is running out.
How to package this highlight is a question that Jiang Shaokun must consider.
Zheng Liodeng was well aware of Jiang Shaokun's intentions, so he had been studying Zoumahe very carefully recently, and today he was put to use.
Wan Aimin listened quietly without speaking. He seemed to be listening very carefully, but also seemed a little absent-minded.
After a long time, he said abruptly: "I wonder why Xiaoxin is so polite to you today! It turns out that I have something to ask you for. In the past few days, he has been yelling at his mother every day. Zoumahe seems to be growing up a lot.
Quickly, it has become a geomantic treasure!"
Zheng Liaodeng said: "Yes, Chen Jing serves as the secretary of the Zoumahe District Committee. He has many connections and high prestige. Naturally, he will desperately fight for resources for Zoumahe. How can others compete with him?"
Wan Aimin snorted softly, his face looking a little ugly.
Zheng Liodeng instantly realized that he might have said the wrong thing.
Many people know that Chen Jing and Wan Aimin are not at odds, and Zheng Liodeng naturally knows it as well. It seems that Chen Jing has been decentralized for so long, but in Wan Aimin's heart, this hurdle has still not passed.
There was a bit of embarrassment in the room. Wan Aimin didn't speak and Zheng Liodeng didn't know what to say.
After a long time, Wan Aimin took off his reading glasses, squinted at Zheng Liao and said:
"Liao Deng, you are right to focus on your work recently. The situation in Guancheng is undergoing profound changes, and this is a time of rare opportunity. At the end of this year, it is very likely that the provincial committee will make new measures in personnel matters. I hope you will do well."
grasp.
There are only so many opportunities in a person's life. If you miss the opportunity every time, you may never have another chance again!"
Zheng Liaodeng was stunned for a moment, his expression condensed.
What does Wan Aimin mean by this? Will Guancheng's team need to be adjusted again?
Zheng Liaodeng had countless thoughts running through his mind, and he quickly thought that the possibility of a team adjustment in Guancheng was really high.
Yue Yunsong has enough qualifications and may catch the last bus for promotion. But if Yue Yunsong is gone, how will the remaining people in Guancheng be arranged?
Chen Jing's prestige is so high now, and his influence is so great, it is extremely possible for him to get promoted.
When he thought of this, Zheng Liodeng's mind became very active. He had always been eyeing the position of deputy secretary. If Chen Jing moved up, wouldn't this position be free?
Just when Zheng Liadeng was thinking about these details, Wan Xin opened the door and came in: "Dad, Uncle Zheng, it's time to eat!"
Wan Aimin stood up and said, "Okay, let's go eat! Liao Deng, let's have some wine today!"
Zheng Liaodeng suddenly woke up and said: "Okay, okay! Have a drink with you!"
Zheng Liaodeng couldn't concentrate during the whole meal. He couldn't help but think about the message Wan Aimin gave him just now.
He knew that Wan Aimin never said anything without aim, and he must have known some inside information before speaking.
As Wan Aimin said, opportunities are rare and if you miss them easily, you will definitely regret it...
Wan Xin was in high spirits at the wine table and kept toasting to Zheng Liaodeng. The two of them exchanged glasses and drank several glasses. Zheng Liaodeng was feeling groggy in his head.
He brought his mind back to the wine table and suddenly thought of something.
Just now Wan Aimin said that Wan Xin was so enthusiastic because he had something to ask him for, and it was about Zoumahe.
How can this be done?
Zheng Liaodeng was in a state of confusion. The only person he could rely on now was Wan Aimin. If Wan Xin couldn't handle something this time, he had been in Guancheng for so many years and had no ability at all. What would the leader think of him?
But how can he get involved in the matter of Zoumahe?
If Zoumahe was the era of Zhang Pinghua, Zheng Liaodeng would still be a bit thin and talkative.
But now Zoumahe is the era of Chen Jing. Chen Jing has managed Zoumahe so tightly that even Yue Yunsong and Jiang Shaokun probably can't penetrate it.
Moreover, Chen Jing's style of doing things is also extremely tough. Recently, he has been promoting rules and regulations in Zoumahe, promoting fairness, justice and openness everywhere.
Under this situation, Zheng Liaodeng wanted to help Wan Xin build relationships inside, go through the back door, and do some secret operations. This is difficult...
As soon as he thought of these things in his mind, Zheng Liodeng became even more irritable and restless.
After the meal, Wan Xin personally escorted him out.
Wan Xin held his hand at the door and said: "Uncle Zheng, I will rely on you more in Guancheng from now on. I am not familiar with the place there, and you are the only elder!"
Zheng Liaodeng responded vaguely. At this moment, the driver Xiaobai came over with his mobile phone and said: "Mayor, your phone number!"
Zheng Liaodeng put the phone to his ear and said, "Who is it?"
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mayor Zheng, I just received news from the Municipal Party Committee, asking you to return to Guancheng immediately for a meeting..."
"What? Go back now? What's going on?" Zheng Liaodeng said loudly.
"No qingchu, it seems that Secretary Chen suddenly asked for leave because of something, and Secretary Yue of the Municipal Party Committee asked for an impromptu meeting..." (To be continued...)
