"I should toast Secretary Chen - Secretary Chen, I'll do it first as a token of respect." Zhou Nan immediately stood up and made a pretense of holding a cup for Chen Yan, then picked up the cup and drank it down with a smile.
Chen Yan smiled slightly, nodded, and then raised her glass and took a sip.
"Okay, Comrade Zhou Nan, you are young and can drink. I, an elderly lesbian, cannot compete with you young people in terms of drinking capacity. I will express my feelings and let it be done."
"Secretary Chen, please feel free to do so." Zhou Nan put down the wine glass in his hand and did not "pester" to persuade Chen Yan to drink like Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang did.
"Haha, young man, work hard, you will have a bright future." Chen Yan smiled meaningfully, and there seemed to be a soft color in the eyes she cast on Zhou Nan.
Chen Dong sat on one side with an ugly expression, his brows furrowed.
He could feel that Chen Yan's "feeling" for Zhou Nan was changing in a direction he didn't want to see.
"Comrade Xiao Zhou has not been in the county for a long time, but he has made outstanding achievements in the county, and the city leaders have noticed... Two days ago, I was still discussing with Secretary Feng of the municipal party committee and several other leaders, saying that you, the provincial party committee, are
Among the young poverty alleviation cadres deployed uniformly, Comrade Zhou Nan from Ningshan took root at the grassroots level in the shortest time and really bent down and did a lot of practical things."
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Although we haven't been in contact for a long time since I came to the county, I can find that comrade you are very stable and comprehensive, with high work efficiency and a solid work style... Well, it's very good.
I hope you will guard against arrogance and impatience in the future, continue to work hard in the county, and cooperate with Comrades Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang to develop Ningshan’s economy..."
"The construction of spiritual civilization, the construction of party style and clean government... these are all pragmatic tasks, but only economic development is pragmatic. We don't talk about those fictitious things. As long as Ningshan's economy develops, it can be achieved in three to five years.
Taking off the label of a poor county within the country is the great contribution of your current county committee and county government team!"
"As the economy develops, it is the common people who get the benefits. The common people's lives become richer, and the people of the county can escape poverty and move toward a well-off society. This is the greatest political achievement of you parents and officials!"
"In a sense, Secretary Zhou of the Provincial Party Committee can come to Ningshan to inspect and investigate investment promotion work. This proves from the side that everyone's work has achieved results and is effective. This is an affirmation of the work of the county committee and county government team!"
"Of course, within the scope of the city, our Ningnan City, under the unified leadership of the municipal party committee with Comrade Feng Botao as the squad leader, has worked hard with one heart and one mind since 1998, vigorously promoted investment promotion and urban construction, and all fronts have blossomed.
The results are remarkable... Secretary Zhou’s visit this time proves that our work achievements have been recognized by the provincial party committee and the provincial government.”
"This is actually an important opportunity in the economic development process of our city. Therefore, the municipal party committee and government attach great importance to it this time. Before I came, Secretary Feng and Mayor Ma repeatedly asked me to tell the comrades in Ningshan that
The work must be done carefully and practically without making any mistakes.”
"In the past few days, my comrades from the inspection team and I will stay in the county...Inspection is one aspect, and another important function is to help the county solve some practical problems. Comrades encounter unsolvable problems at work,
If you encounter problems that require coordination from the city, you can come to me. If I can solve it, I will do it on-site. If I can’t solve it, I will report it to Secretary Feng and Mayor Ma, and the two main leaders will help solve it!"
Chen Yan put down her wine glass and began to give a high-sounding "speech." The banquet on this occasion was different from ordinary official dinners, and had a certain formal political color. Although some words were false, Chen Yan, as the leader of the municipal party committee, must also
Speaking of.
Although Zhang Qiang looked like he was listening respectfully, he was actually complaining in his heart: Come to the county, you old woman, to help us solve the hammer problem. It would be nice if you don’t cause us any trouble... You have only been here for a day, and you just gave it to us.
How many things can you find out?
But he didn't dare to say these words even though he was full of slander in his heart.
Chen Dong sat there, very embarrassed, neither leaving nor staying, his face slowly turned red. He suddenly found that it seemed difficult for him to integrate into the small circle of Zhang Qiang and others.
Watching a few people chatting and laughing, he gritted his teeth, stood up silently, held his glass, and smiled reluctantly, "Secretary Chen, Secretary Zhang, you continue, I will go out and take care of the comrades over there."
Chen Yan's smile faded and she nodded lightly.
Zhang Qiang also smiled indifferently, raised his hand to Chen Dong and said, "Well, Comrade Chen Dong, take care of the comrades over there. Wait a moment, and the three of us will go over to propose a toast... Tell the city leaders who is not drunk tonight."
If you don’t drink to your heart’s content, you are not allowed to leave!”
Sun Xiang also smiled, "Comrade Zhou Nan and I will go over to toast later, and Secretary Zhang will lead the way."
Chen Dong nodded and hurried away.
Zhou Nan looked at his departing "down and out" figure, a sneer at the corner of his mouth flashed away.
…
…
Starting early the next morning, Ningshan County entered into almost "vigorous" reception preparations.
The first is sanitation. The entire county is carrying out sanitation cleaning. All the people from the Environmental Sanitation Bureau are mobilized to try to leave no dead spots in the city. Enterprises, institutions, schools, etc. are also collectively mobilized. Under the unified coordination of the county government
Under the policy, each township was responsible for the specific implementation, and each village party secretary mobilized all villagers to launch a health defense war in the countryside.
The second is the atmosphere. The entire county has begun to hang welcome banners, paint the walls along the streets, and organize some public facilities along the streets... Almost overnight, a lot of new green waste has been added to the county.
boxes, and some commercial streets also have wrought iron public leisure seats.
The third is key units and construction sites. Considering that Secretary Zhou of the Provincial Party Committee may name schools, shopping malls, power plants, water plants and other key units in the county to inspect, the county summoned the heads of these units to make arrangements in advance.
Deploy it so you don't get caught blind when the time comes.
The main agenda of Zhou Xiaolin's visit is to investigate Ningshan County's investment promotion, so he will definitely go to the construction sites of projects currently under construction or basically completed, and corresponding preparations are indispensable.
The fourth is social security. From now on, the County Public Security Bureau will begin to promote a "strike hard" type of centralized social security management activities throughout the county. All "suspects" who are included in the police's sight will be monitored intensively. Police cars are roaring in the county.
, the police were coming in and out, and many hooligans who were active on the street stayed at home and disappeared temporarily.
At this time, anyone who is not discerning will definitely be dealt with badly by the police.
The fifth is administrative reception and catering and accommodation reception. The reception office of the county party committee, which is responsible for receiving the food and lodging of the provincial party committee leaders, has actually entered the state in advance since last night.
The person responsible for reception preparations at the entire county level is Zhou Nan, the executive deputy county magistrate. Zhou Nan did not stay in his own county government office, but sat in the reception office temporarily established by the county party committee, working on-site and coordinating the work of various departments at any time.
Listen to work reports at any time and issue work instructions at any time.
On February 27, Municipal Party Committee Secretary Feng Botao and Mayor Ma Liguo came to Ningshan County in person. Accompanied by Chen Yan, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the main leaders of Ningshan County, they inspected some "key places" and the results were very satisfactory.
Ningshan County’s reception preparations were affirmed.
On the morning of February 28, an emergency call was made from the municipal party committee office to the county party committee office. The news came that at 9:30 a.m., the provincial party committee secretary Zhou Xiaolin and his party officially set off from the provincial capital to Ningshan. The provincial party committee office informed Secretary Zhou that he would not go to Ningshan.
To go to Ningnan City, come directly to Ningshan County.
Zhou Xiaolin's trip was very low-key. There were not many officials who came with him for investigation, and even fewer attachés. Yu Jiangang, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, Kong Yan, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization, Wang Yunlu, Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and
Qin Maoke, deputy director of the Propaganda Department, and Huo Qin, deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee’s Theoretical Research Office.
In addition to the above-mentioned five officials at the deputy department level and above, there are also some low-level attachés. According to the notice from the Provincial Party Committee Office, there are 12 people in this group. In addition, there are several reporters from the provincial capital media.
A little after 10:30 in the morning, Municipal Party Committee Secretary Feng Botao and Mayor Ma Liguo rushed over from Ningnan with some important leaders of the city and were waiting in Ningshan County.
It usually takes three hours to travel from the provincial capital to Ningshan County. But Zhou Nan estimated that there must be police cars clearing the way for Zhou Xiaolin and his party, and the speed would definitely be about half an hour faster than normal vehicle traffic.
In other words, around 12 noon, Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhou Xiaolin and his party will arrive in Ningshan County, where they will have lunch.
Municipal Party Committee Secretary Feng Botao looked up at the sunny sky, then raised his wrist to look at his watch. Seeing that it was already past 11 o'clock, he looked back at a group of city and county cadres standing behind him and said loudly, "Where is Comrade Zhang Qiang?"
Comrade Sun Xiang, Comrade Zhou Nan?!"
Zhang Qiang, Sun Xiang, and leaders from several counties in Zhounan were standing behind a group of city leaders. Suddenly they heard Secretary Feng calling, and they quickly squeezed into the crowd with a smile, and appeared in front of Feng Botao, "Secretary Feng."
Feng Botao glanced at the three of them, waved his hands and said, "I guess Secretary Zhou will be arriving soon. How is the lunch you prepared? I think we can start preparing now..."
"Secretary Feng, Comrade Zhou Nan has made arrangements, please don't worry, leader." Zhang Qiang said with a smile.
"Well, everything has been arranged. The leaders can have dinner as soon as they arrive." Sun Xiang also smiled respectfully.
Feng Botao cast his eyes on Zhou Nan, and Zhou Nan smiled respectfully and said, "Secretary Feng, everything is ready. According to the prior arrangement, two leaders, Secretary Feng and Mayor Ma, accompanied Secretary Zhou, Secretary General Yu and Minister Kong.
The remaining provincial party committee leaders were received by city and county leaders respectively, and a total of three tables were arranged."
"According to the instructions of Secretary Feng and Mayor Ma, today's lunch will be a working meal with four meat dishes, four vegetarian dishes and two soups. No drinks will be arranged. As soon as the convoy led by the provincial party committee enters the county, I will immediately call the county party committee reception desk to arrange for the food to be served.
, so that the leaders of the provincial party committee can start eating as soon as they arrive."
Feng Botao smiled with satisfaction and nodded, "Yes, very good. This arrangement is very good. Secretary Zhou's style is simple. We arrange meals so that the leaders can eat well, but not too wasteful or extravagant to make the leaders dissatisfied. No lunch.
Arrange for drinks, but in the evening, you still have to arrange what needs to be arranged."
"Okay, I understand." Zhou Nan responded respectfully.
Mayor Ma Liguo laughed at the side, "Secretary Feng, our County Magistrate Xiao Zhou is better than us at arranging the reception work in Ningshan County. Magistrate Xiao Zhou arranged the reception work in Ningshan County. I think it is very good. There are many arrangements."
Every detail has been taken into consideration... I even thought about transferring Comrade Xiao Zhou to the city government office to assist me in my work..."
Feng Botao also laughed, and the two main party and government leaders of Ningnan City laughed. Other city leaders also began to laugh in agreement. Some city leaders even patted Zhou Nan's shoulders affectionately.
While they were joking, suddenly a staff member hurriedly came forward and whispered a few words in Feng Botao's ear. Feng Botao's expression changed, he immediately waved his hand and said loudly, "Get in the car, let's go. Secretary Zhou of the Provincial Party Committee is on the outer ring road."
Stopped... let's go over and take a look!"
Feng Botao separated from the crowd and walked to his car.
Mayor Ma Liguo also followed and said loudly, "Other comrades should not follow, comrades from the county should follow!"
…
…
Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhou Xiaolin and his entourage actually stopped their car next to the outer ring road, one kilometer away from the county seat. From a distance, they saw a row of motorcades leaning on the roadside, with the lights of the police cars at the head and behind them still flashing.
flashing.
More than a dozen police officers were scattered at a distance, and this section of the road was temporarily closed, although it was only temporarily closed.
Municipal Party Committee Secretary Feng Botao and Mayor Ma Liguo didn't know why Secretary Zhou and his party suddenly stopped at this place, but Zhang Qiang, Sun Xiang and Zhou Nan from the county suddenly had an ominous premonition at the same time.
The three of them sat in a car, with Zhou Nan in the passenger seat, Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang in the back seat.
Zhou Nan turned to look at Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang. Zhang Qiang frowned and said, "You two, I think there seems to be something..."
Sun Xiang looked out the car window and said in a low voice, "Secretary Zhou and the others seem to be standing where we spread the plastic tarpaulin...ah, there's something wrong with this!"
Zhou Nan couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that Secretary Zhou of the Provincial Party Committee accidentally discovered something strange in this place, so he stopped the car to check... And judging from the current situation, he must have seen some "clues".
Thinking of this, Zhou Nan secretly resented in his heart: Chen Yan, a woman who has failed to achieve anything but failed to achieve success... is bad. Once something like this gets messed up in details and is exposed in public by the leaders of the provincial party committee, it will be a major scandal.
...There are also reporters from the provincial media accompanying him. If he is exposed, Ningshan County may become famous this time!
Of course Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang were also worried at the same time.
Therefore, before the vehicle had stopped, the three people couldn't wait to jump out of the car and trotted towards where a group of officials gathered.
Feng Botao and Ma Liguo got out of the car, approached with a respectful smile, and looked at the provincial party committee secretary Zhou Xiaolin, provincial party committee secretary-general Yu Jiangang, provincial party committee organization director Kong Yan and other important provincial party committee members who were standing at the front of the crowd and looking down the road.
The leader said hello, "Secretary Zhou, Minister Kong, Secretary-General Yu, leaders of the provincial party committee, how do you..."
Zhou Xiaolin slowly turned around and looked at Feng Botao and Ma Liguo. He smiled faintly and waved his hand and said, "Comrade Bo Tao, Comrade Liguo... When we came here, we suddenly found that there was a nice peach forest below, with peach blossoms in full bloom, and the scenery was very charming.
So I stopped the car and took a look."
At this time, Zhou Nan and the others had already rushed over. Hearing what Zhou Xiaolin said, he felt relieved.
The weather in Ningshan has warmed up relatively early this year. Although it is only the end of February and the beginning of March, in the wild peach forest in the ravine below, there are already many pink stamens on the peach trees in full bloom. Looking from a distance,
The scenery is really good with the clusters of flowers among the greenery.
But in the depression between the peach trees and the road, it was under Chen Yan's single-handed control that Ningshan County covered it with a "fig leaf" and covered it with a shallow layer of floating soil. Although it looked very flat, it was almost a complete
The square platform is actually a "paper tiger". If you step on it, you will definitely fall into it.
Zhou Xiaolin and other provincial party committee leaders were chatting with Feng Botao and Ma Liguo, talking a few words, and pointing at the peach trees below. However, Zhang Qiang, the three county parent officials standing behind the crowd, had a layer of blood on their foreheads.
Cold sweat, what if... what if the provincial party committee leader gets excited and wants to go down to see the peach blossoms up close, wouldn't it be...
Kong Yan suddenly turned around, smiled, waved her hand and said loudly, "Comrade Xiao Zhou!"
Then he turned to Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhou Xiaolin and said with a smile, "Secretary Zhou, this executive deputy county magistrate of Ningshan County is the young poverty alleviation cadre assigned by our Organization Department, and the former big boss of Feiteng Group, Comrade Zhou Nan. This is you.
Cadres who personally order generals."
Kong Yan was deeply impressed by Zhou Nan, so she recognized Zhou Nan at a glance. Moreover, the trip of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary also had a certain relationship with Zhou Nan. At first, Zhou Nan, a business genius who gave up business and entered politics, was placed as a poverty alleviation cadre in the impoverished city of Ningshan.
county, week
Xiaolin and other senior leaders of the provincial party committee were paying attention. Later, they heard that Zhou Nan was really prosperous at the lower level. Ningshan, a long-established poor county in the central and southern region, was booming in attracting investment, so Zhou Xiaolin had the idea to come and take a look.
The thought of looking.
Of course, this kind of inspection and investigation is mainly related to the Binhai Province poverty alleviation strategic project that he led and promoted. Hundreds of young poverty alleviation cadres went to Central and South China, which was promoted by Zhou Xiaolin. Now that this strategy has achieved results, Zhou Xiaolin himself naturally intends to support it.
A typical example comes out.
By various chances, Ningshan County was chosen.
After listening to the words of Kong Yan, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization, many provincial Party committee leaders present cast their penetrating gazes on Zhou Nan.
Zhou Xiaolin, secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, also wore a calm and reserved smile, and turned to look at Zhou Nan, who was not far away and had a tall figure and elegant temperament. Although his eyes were calm, they were full of the awe-inspiring aura of a superior.
Suddenly becoming the center of attention, Zhou Nan was startled, but he did not panic. Instead, he smiled calmly and walked over quickly while responding to Kong Yan's words.
