In fact, Lu Rui had heard the same words from Han Dingbang and Chen Bin's mouths.

When Chen Bin learned that Lu Rui was about to serve as deputy secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee in Songjiang Province, he said to him earnestly: "Lu Rui, you are a young cadre who is focused on training. The central government has transferred you from the position of deputy director of the Food and Drug Administration to the position of deputy secretary-general of the Songjiang Provincial Party Committee. I think it is an important training step. Being with the leaders of the Songjiang Provincial Party Committee, you can better learn the work style of provincial and ministerial leaders. At the same time, your contacts have a wider range and your horizons have become more open, which is very beneficial to your future development. So, I will give you eight words, 'Look more and learn more, be careful in your words and actions'."

Although Lu Rui did not understand the profound meaning of these eight words, he knew that this was the old leader’s instructions to him.

Therefore, for more than half a year, whether Lu Rui is accompanying Owenhai, the top leader of the provincial party committee, handling daily work at the provincial party committee, or coordinating relations with other aspects, or receiving leaders from various cities and cities below, Lu Rui has always maintained a serious and diligent attitude, doing things one hundred times more cautiously than before, and even being a little too cautious. He always adheres to an attitude that he must not say, and he will never say what he should not say, and he will never say what he should not say. From this point of view, even Owenhai must admit that Lu Rui is much more mature than before, and can be regarded as a three-pointer in the officialdom.

It is precisely for this reason that when Owenhai proposed that Lu Rui be the secretary of the Hecheng Municipal Party Committee, there was no obstacle in the provincial party committee. Many provincial party committee leaders felt that Lu Rui could stabilize the situation in Hecheng at this time and control the entire Hecheng Municipal Party Committee.

In fact, everyone actually thinks Lu Rui's ideas too simple, or these people are unable to see the essence of things through what Lu Rui shows. For Lu Rui, he considers far higher than many people. Through contact with many leaders, Lu Rui gradually summarizes one of his own officialdom principles. That is to go with the flow.

This kind of going with the flow does not mean that it is a random act without principles. Seeing others make mistakes, in order not to be isolated, it follows most people, and that is called going with the flow without principles. And what Lu Rui said goes with the flow means that he must have principles and skillfully adapt to this officialdom. Lu Rui is Lu Rui. Even when he is in his sixties or seventies, he is also the Lu Rui who dares to challenge anyone for justice and justice. However, as a leading cadre, Lu Rui feels that he is in a position where he is, he must do the corresponding things in this position. The so-called monk hits the bell for one day. As long as he is still in the position of deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee, he must restrain the momentum of the top leader in the local area and responds to it. Otherwise, he will not be able to get along with all the things in the melting pot of the provincial party committee.

The provincial party committee has its own way of dealing with people, and local people have their own way of doing things. This is the truth summarized by Lu Rui, and he is also practicing it in this way.

Of course, from now on, Lu Rui is very clear that this kind of work inertia formed in the provincial party committee must be stopped. He will constantly remind himself to remember that he is no longer the deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee, but the secretary of the municipal party committee of Hecheng, an economic city, and the leader and decision-maker of a city with a population of millions.

Although Hecheng City is just a third-tier city in China, in the entire Songjiang Province, it is now a city that firmly holds the second place. In just less than ten years, it has surpassed Muyang and Qingjiang cities in front of it, and has become the second largest economic center in the entire Songjiang Province.

Today, Hecheng City is not only the second largest city in Songjiang Province, but also the center of politics, economy, science and technology, culture, education, commerce and transportation in the western region of Songjiang Province. It radiates to the western region of Songjiang, western Liaodong and northern Taibei Province, with 7 districts and 8 counties under its jurisdiction and stewards the county-level Longhe City. It has a total area of ​​43,000 square kilometers and a population of 5.7 million (1.559 million in urban areas). Moreover, Hecheng City has just been approved by the state as one of the thirteen largest cities in the country with the legislative power of **, and is also one of the key cities for the implementation of the national strategy of revitalizing the old industrial base in Northeast China.

After more than ten years of hard work by Yu Yun, Hecheng has become the fastest economic growth region in Songjiang Province. As the city with the best completion of the 15th Plan, it has a strong industrial foundation. As one of the earliest old industrial bases built by the country, Hecheng has formed an industrial system with machinery, metallurgy, chemical industry, food as the main body, light industry, textile, medicine, building materials, advertising and printing, and other industries as the focus, and a number of national pillar enterprises have been formed. Hecheng is a transportation hub in Songjiang Province and even the western region of the northeast. Railways, highways, waterways, and civil aviation are well connected, and telephone communications have entered the international direct dial network.

The most important thing is that over the past decade, people have been constantly reporting the problems of Hecheng in the province, but Yu Yun is like a tumbler, always standing in the political arena of Hecheng. Not only has his status not been affected, but he has developed the city, and his political achievements are placed there one by one, which makes the leaders of the provincial party committee and government have to look at this hard-bodied Secretary Yu with admiration.

Therefore, Lu Rui knew very well that the burden of Hecheng City seemed extremely relaxed, but it might not be so easy to connect it himself. A brilliant city is placed there and the provincial party committee's evaluation is placed there. It is a benchmark that has been erected. Its height is almost dazzling. Experience tells him that it is difficult to surpass this height. Moreover, Lu Rui also has something almost intuitive to tell himself that the problems of Hecheng City are probably not only as simple as Li Yajie said, but also many things that he and Li Yajie don't know. Or, behind the economic boom in Hecheng City, there are probably many hidden problems.

This is not Lu Rui's alarmist statement, but because Lu Rui sensitively realized that the reason why the provincial party committee appointed him as the secretary of the Hecheng City Committee may not be as simple as balancing.

You should know that Yu Yun recommended the successor to the provincial party committee and government is his old subordinate. Bai Dongxu, the current mayor of Hecheng City, but the provincial party committee rejected this suggestion, and Owenhai simply called his own name directly. In this way, will the Hecheng City Committee team led by Yu Yun and Bai Dongxu have any objections? Will there be resistance to his appointment? This is one of the problems Lu Rui is worried about. In addition, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, Lu Rui certainly hopes that the situation in Hecheng City can be more stable, at least for a period of time after he took office, but he knows that Li Yajie's eyes have been staring at Bai Dongxu and the Hecheng City Steel Group. I am afraid that the primary problem he will face at the Standing Committee in the future is the struggle between the two people.

Bai Dongxu represents Yu Yun's power, and Li Yalin is a cadre worthy of his win. Faced with this choice, where should Lu Rui go?

In addition, Lu Rui still had a little doubt in his heart. What is the relationship between Bai Dongxu and that steel company? Is there really a problem like Li Yajie suspected? Or is it because Li Yajie was misled by someone? Does some districts and counties in Hecheng have the problems that Li Yajie said? If they really exist, what should I do?

With these doubts in mind, Lu Rui came to the office of Owenhai, the first secretary of the provincial party committee.

"Secretary General Lu, you are here." Owenhai's secretary Long Yuxuan stood up and smiled at Lu Rui.

Lu Rui nodded: "Please trouble Director Long." Long Yuxuan is now the director of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee.

Long Yuxuan naturally understood the significance of Owenhai talking to Lu Rui today. Yesterday he wanted to call Lu Rui to congratulate him. After all, he was Owenhai's confidant. He knew very well how much Owenhai valued the young secretary-general. But then he thought that if he was too anxious, he might leave a bad impression. Anyway, he had a long way to go, and he would have contacted Lu Rui for a long time, and at least his relationship would not turn bad. What's more, he was with the secretary and his relationship would definitely be closer.

"You sit down and have some tea first. Minister Liu from the Organization Department is reporting to the secretary." Long Yuxuan poured Lu Rui a cup of tea and said in a low voice.

Lu Rui nodded. The Minister of the Organization Department of Songjiang Provincial Party Committee was surnamed Ma. This Minister Liu is naturally Liu Huaxiang, executive vice minister of the Organization Department.

Lu Rui knew a little about the situation in the province, but he had no intention of interfering. He knew very well that even if he went to Hecheng City, he was just a municipal party secretary of a prefecture-level city and had no ability to join the game between provincial and ministerial bosses. Like the previous behaviors in G Province, Lu Rui thought that he was scared now. On the one hand, he was taken care of by Han Dingbang and others, and on the other hand, he had to say that he had good luck to a certain extent. Otherwise, just by challenging some local bosses in G Province, he would easily be criticized by his opponents. After all, the officialdom is just, and the following is not a good reputation.

Therefore, Lu Rui had already made up his mind that when he went to Hecheng this time, no matter what he did, he must do his work seriously and steadily, try to avoid fighting with others, and focus on work construction.

Long Yuxuan and Lu Rui sat on the sofa and laughed in a low voice: "Secretary General Lu, I'm afraid I'll call you Secretary Lu in the future."

Lu Rui shook his head gently: "We are friends, why don't the secretary? If you say that, I won't ask you to drink in the future."

Long Yuxuan smiled and said, "That won't work. You still owe me two bottles of Moutai."

Lu Rui naturally understood what he meant and said with a smile: "This is not simple. When will you go to Hecheng with Secretary Ou? I'll just ask you to drink in private?" (To be continued)
