Of course, Li Guoxiong also wanted to follow Zhao Changshan after knowing Zhao Changshan's attitude. Since Ye Fan was the spokesperson of the legendary Zhao family in the province, he also took the opportunity to express to Ye Fan that he would follow Zhao Changshan wholeheartedly.
The fact that Yiming and Zhao Changshan didn't get along well was also known to high-level circles in the province.
Within the system, the most annoying role among officials is that of a walleye. You don’t want to offend anyone, but in the end, you end up offending everyone.
Ye Fan's heart was beating wildly. He had heard that Lu An had said before his death that Guan Fei was Guan Yiming's illegitimate son. Could it be that when the educated youth went to the countryside, Guan Yiming had some ambiguous emotional entanglement with Li Meirong and Lu Juyi?
?
Lu An just said that his father was killed by Guan Yiming. Could it be because of Li Meirong? Ye Fan felt that this news might be the breakthrough point in the case. Of course, he was grateful to Li Guoxiong and knew that he reciprocated the favor.
Fortunately, I helped him tonight. I don’t know, Li Guoxiong will definitely not expose this big secret. There is no way to check such an old thing. It has been decades, how can I still remember it. Moreover
, Li Meirong will definitely not expose such dishonorable things.
"Thank you, let's have a drink." Ye Fan and Li Guoxiong drank heavily. The two looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
After that, the two chatted about some innocuous nonsense before leaving. Of course, Ye Fan also vaguely mentioned that he hoped Li Guoxiong would take care of Zhou Yuming and others. Li Guoxiong also made a vague and firm statement that he would treat them as his own.
of.
The next morning, Ye Fan just entered the office. Comrade Zhang Linhua, the director of the office, unexpectedly arrived again.
This time when he came in, Mr. Zhang Linhua seemed more respectful. First, he respectfully offered a cigarette and asked with a smile: "Minister Ye, here in the office, I asked Deputy Director Lin Xingdong to come over and cooperate with you in the dragon boat race.
Lin Xingdong is also a veteran in this field and has held many similar large-scale activities. For example, the 1999 Double Ninth Festival veteran cadre mountain climbing event organized by the Organization Department the year before last, Comrade Lin Dongxing once received praise from Governor Wang, saying that he can do things well.
, these retired cadres are very satisfied.
However, regarding the candidate for your secretary, I wonder if Minister Ye has read the materials? If you don’t like it, I will collect some more materials."
"I haven't had time to see it yet, so let's do this. Ask Zhang Yan to come over and help me for a few days. It's really inconvenient if there's no one around to take care of it." Ye Fan said lightly. Regarding Zhang Linhua's change of attitude, Ye Fan also guessed a little bit. I guess
It was Zhang Linhua who went to find Jin Shuyang, who gave him some advice on the phone.
"Zhang Yan." Zhang Linhua was stunned and then nodded and said, "Zhang Yan is not bad. He has a good diploma. He graduated from Renmin University."
While he was talking, the phone rang, and it was Minister Gu Huai who called and said: "The Dragon Boat Race is tight and the ministry has considered this reason. Since you have proposed to borrow Comrade Zhang Linhua again, let's ask Comrade Zhang Linhua to assist you.
As for how to operate it, it’s up to you.”
"As soon as Comrade Zhang Linhua leaves, things in the office are serious. I think it's better to ask Lin Xingdong to come over and cooperate." Ye Fan said, wondering why Gu Huai changed his mind again. Could there be another change?
"That's it. Comrade Lin Xingdong will temporarily work in the office until Comrade Zhang Linhua finishes the dragon boat race." Gu Huai said.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan told Zhang Linhua about Minister Gu's decision and found that Zhang Linhua was not very disappointed. It seemed that Minister Jin's little words were somewhat powerful.
"Director Zhang, tomorrow I plan to go to the Haizhou Jinma Dragon Boat Festival to take a look. The preparations there should be almost complete." Ye Fan said.
"The dragon boats have been transported to Jinma Beach in Haizhou a long time ago. The 18 contestants on each boat are all selected from the official national staff of each city. However, Minister Ye, this ranking issue is a bit difficult to deal with?
"Zhang Linhua said. He immediately changed his role.
"What do you mean by ranking?" Ye Fan asked deliberately. If an activity like this has a certain purpose, it is often to deceive others, and the ranking is arranged in advance. The activity is just a show. This is what is called
It's just an internal decision. Within the system, this kind of thing happens all the time.
"Well, if there is no hint from above, how can this activity be carried out?" Zhang Linhua knew that Gu Huai had attacked him, and he couldn't fight back anyway, so he simply decided to follow Ye Fan. So, he was also heartbroken. Of course, these are all Jin Shuyang
The hint is related.
"What did the superiors say when I was in Minister Feng's hands before? Of course, I meant hints?" Ye Fan asked with a thought in his heart.
"I don't know about this. I was not specifically responsible for this project at the time. In the past, similar activities were held. In fact, the rankings had already been decided by the department. The activities just had to be carried out enthusiastically. Even if some cadres were dissatisfied, in the end,
You still have to obey the overall situation. After all, your arms can't twist your thighs," Zhang Linhua said.
"You should perfect the specific plan first and notify Haizhou to prepare. To what extent do you want to achieve it? You can pull it out immediately and start the competition. Don't be in a hurry when the time comes. This won't work, and you won't be prepared.
Okay." Ye Fan said with a serious face.
"Actually, they have been prepared for a long time. I heard that the municipal party committee members of five cities have gathered their troops and are waiting in Haizhou.
Moreover, there are three dragon boats in each city's representative team. They don't live together. They all rented a hotel by themselves and secretly planned something.
Taking the personnel as an example, each team has 54 people. Of course, in addition, each dragon boat is equipped with a bugler and a drummer.
In fact, there are 60 official members in one city, plus the cheerleaders who work as odd jobs, etc., it is estimated that there are no less than 300 people.
Jinma City, to which Haizhou belongs, has taken advantage of the geographical advantage, and their team is the largest. I heard that Jinma Municipal Party Committee Chairman Zhu Qian shouted the slogan of a cheerleading team of ten thousand people.
There are also several staff from the Organization Department currently stationed in Jinmatan, Haizhou, responsible for the specific work there," Zhang Linhua said.
"There should be some predictions among the people. Tell me, which team will be stronger?" Ye Fan asked. On the contrary, Ye Fan was asking about the ranking in name, but in fact he was asking which municipal party committee leader has the highest activity ability and reputation.
some.
"This time the matter is a bit troublesome. It seems to be a 'even match' situation. Therefore, it is difficult to choose. However, Ji Haiping, the boss of the temple city to which the provincial capital belongs, is said to be very powerful. In addition, the temple city is far away from the province.
The city is close, and the buildings near the water are the first to get the moon. Moreover, Ji Haiping is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the right-hand man of Comrade Su Qingyun, the *** of the provincial capital.
Haizhou City is a special zone, and the Jinma City to which it belongs has Zhu Qian's geographical advantage, because the host venue is on the Jinma River.
By then, it is estimated that there will be no less than hundreds of thousands of people watching the battle, with thousands of pairs of eyes watching closely. If we want to operate 'freely', it is hard to say whether Zhu Qian will cause trouble.
The woman Fei Shuixiang from Tiandong City, which Yutong City belongs to, is not a simple woman. I heard that she is related to an important person in the province. I don’t know who she is..." Director Zhang Linhua kept all his treasures and gave them to Ye Fan today.
I feel that this person is suitable to be a steward.
As soon as Zhang Linhua left, Ye Fan entered Feng Guoxing's office.
"Minister Feng, is there any special explanation from above regarding this dragon boat race?" Ye Fan simply didn't beat around the bush.
"Special explanation, I've never heard of it." Feng Guoxing raised his head and said lightly.
"No hint at all?" Ye Fan asked.
"I've never heard of it. How about you ask Minister Gu." Feng Guoxing glanced at Ye Fan lightly and said.
"Haha, forget it if you don't." Ye Fan smiled, nodded, and returned to the office after coming out.
He simply called Gu Huai and said, "Minister Gu, does the department have any special arrangements for this dragon boat competition?"
"What special arrangement?" Gu Huai said in a serious tone.
"Then please tell me what instructions the ancient department has, so that I can make arrangements, right?" Ye Fan asked instead.
"My instruction is to hold this dragon boat race in a fair and open manner. The ministry has decided to put you in charge of this matter. It's up to you to decide what to do." Gu Huai said calmly and hung up the phone.
"Fairness, fairness and publicity are bullshit!" Ye Fan complained after putting down the phone.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in!" Ye Fan snorted angrily.
"Ye... Minister Ye, please call me." Zhang Yan was a little shy, which was very different from when he bumped into him a few days ago.
I heard that when Director Zhang of the office said that it was Minister Ye Fan who called him to help, Zhang Yan’s pupils suddenly opened wide. And his colleague Tong Xin and others immediately gathered around and shouted to Zhang Yan to treat him.
.
"Have you ever heard of the Dragon Boat Race? Tell me what you know first..." Ye Fan said slowly, leaving Zhang Yan standing like that. This leader's airs must be put on display.
"I was originally one of the assisting members of the dragon boat race, but I was responsible for liaison work between the ministry and the Jinma River in Haizhou.
At the beginning, Minister Feng Guoxing was in charge of this matter, and a team was specially assigned from our office to cooperate with it.
The original plan was to have one dragon boat for each city, but soon after, Minister Feng changed his mind and arranged three dragon boats for each city, as if to compare with the team's combat capabilities..." Zhang Yan was doing pretty well and regained his composure.
, and started talking about it in detail.
"Comparing the team's combat capabilities is not a war. Besides, the dragon boat team members are probably all strong young men working in government agencies. These young men are in their twenties, and they are at the department level at most. The deputy directors are top-notch and can count.
What team?" Ye Fan snorted, glanced sideways at Zhang Yan, and deliberately made a serious face.
Zhang Yan's face really changed slightly. He originally thought that Ye Fan would choose him as general this time. This was a good sign. Maybe, if he was lucky enough, Minister Ye would take notice of him and pick him to be his secretary.
Zhang Yan has been working for several years after graduating from Renmin University. He is still doing odd jobs in the ministry and running errands. Even his girlfriend is about to lose his life. To say he is not in a hurry would be a lie.
