Chapter One Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty-Eight: Trying to Get Clear
Just as Liao Hongzhi said, the people he introduced to Chen Taizhong were two people with no identity problems at all. One was Mo Jiao, the deputy director of the Provincial Investment Promotion Office, and the other was Li, an external translator hired by the Provincial Investment Promotion Office.
It's okay for everyone to know some things well. It's a bad rule to speak out. Director Liao simply introduced the identities of the two people and then said directly, "Taizhong, you are very familiar with Mr. Hein from the United States. I heard that
He is coming to Tiannan soon, and the province also wants to receive him."
Chen Taizhong looked at the two of them. Director Mo had a big belly and a figure that seemed to tarnish the image of a national cadre. Translator Li was fair and clean, wearing rimless resin glasses and looked harmless to humans and animals.
The look of a little butter boy.
However, Chen Taizhong did not dare to ignore this Li Xuan. Director Mo was a genuine deputy department-level cadre, and the possibility of being affiliated to the National Security Bureau was not very high. It was very unlikely just because of his belly. However, this Li Xuan was an external translator.
, which is quite weird.
"Then...receive me," he nodded hesitantly, with no expression on his face. Mo Jiao's official position is not small, but the relationship between the provincial investment promotion office and the city investment promotion office is like the relationship between a teapot and a chamber pot.
, it just sounds like it’s related, but in fact it doesn’t matter.
Since there is no reporting relationship, of course he has no interest in talking to him. Wang Haobo and Zu Baoyu are the actual deputy directors, so they are still buddies helping to organize the affairs. I have seen many high-level people.
However, Director Mo was good-tempered and did not care about his scorn. Instead, he nodded calmly and said very considerately, "Xiao Chen, the Provincial Investment Promotion Office just wants to participate. Mr. Hein has a great influence in the West.
...As for where he invests, as long as it is within Tiannan Province, we welcome him."
Mo Jiao got to know Chen Taizhong's situation in a short period of time and knew that the young deputy director was very concerned about the areas where he invested. Although this is a very common phenomenon, Xiao Chen's concern has reached an alarming level.
He was able to offend the provincial and ministerial leaders because of this. Without the intervention of other leaders, he would probably have been brought down by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
If this person thinks that the Provincial Investment Promotion Office is here to pry a corner and wants to keep Hein's investment in Subo, then he will most likely not cooperate seriously, so it is necessary for him to express his position early.
After saying this, Director Mo looked at Chen Taizhong's expression and found that this person still looked quite indifferent. He felt convinced. Sure enough, this guy is a landowner with a big background. He dares to face himself so neither humble nor arrogant. Then
It is truly confident.
But now, everyone has reached this point. If Chen Taizhong wants to be "neither humble nor arrogant", it would be a bit inappropriate. So he smiled and nodded. "Actually, that's what I mean too. If Phoenix is not suitable for investment, they can still do it.
Invest elsewhere in the province.”
Whether it was pretending or really, anyway, he just expressed his intention that he would not let go easily. As for Guoan, he didn't mention it at all.
"I've heard about Xiao Chen from Phoenix. He doesn't let go of investors when he bites his tongue. You also pulled over the industrial park, right?" Mo Jiao smiled faintly. "Don't worry. Think about your place first. We are the two of us.
Please help coordinate. If it doesn’t work, we will consider other cities.”
This statement couldn't be more thorough. It doesn't even say "give priority under equal circumstances". As long as you can persuade the other party, then you are the phoenix.
"Mr. Hein's visit this time does not seem to involve a large investment. It may just be a preliminary inspection." Chen Taizhong smiled and shook his head. "He will only come on Tuesday. I will contact you two then?"
"Let's talk first." Seeing that he stood up to say goodbye, Li Xuan couldn't help but asked, "Do you have any information about Mr. Hein? We would like to know more about him."
Chen Taizhong gave him a cold look, and everyone could see the contempt in his eyes. Are you qualified to interrupt when the leaders are talking? The next moment, he turned to look at Mo Jiao, "Director Mo, it's the weekend today, I'm in a hurry
I’m back in Fenghuang. I’ve been in Subo for more than a week. It’s time to go back and have a look... Let’s have a good talk next Monday night, do you think that’s okay?”
"I'll give you a little more time," Director Mo's vague smile gradually faded away, looking a bit majestic. Of course, he thought that the other party didn't know Li Xuan's identity, so he had that attitude.
, "Director Chen, please cooperate."
Chen Taizhong looked at him blankly for a long time, then smiled and shook his head, "I'm sorry, Director Mo, I don't talk about work during the break. It's Saturday today."
He said this with a smile, but there was a slight anger in his eyes. You could tell that he was very annoyed. At the moment, he just "dare to be angry but dare not speak out."
Chen Taizhong's anger is partly feigned and partly genuine. Please cooperate with me... What qualifications do you have to ask me to cooperate? I have neither spent your money nor owe you anything, and you have no control over it in any way.
Me, why do you ask me so?
Hearing the two of them talking and getting choked up, Liao Hongzhi hurriedly stepped forward to slap him in the face, "Taizhong, listen to me and understand the situation. It won't take long and I won't delay your return to Phoenix."
As he spoke, he led the three of them to a small reception room, but he turned around and left, "You guys talk first, I have something else to do."
As soon as Liao Hongzhi left, Mo Jiao's face darkened.
He didn't know if the young deputy director had guessed Li Xuan's identity. It was supposed to be the weekend, and Director Liao Hongzhi actually invited you to his office to introduce the person. This was already a very obvious hint.
But this guy didn't know whether he was really confused or fake. He actually couldn't figure out that Hein was an American and that he was now sitting in the National Security Bureau. The cause and effect was clear at a glance.
Hein just called you and we contacted you. Don't you even have this sensitivity? Mo Jiao was really a little annoyed and looked at him with a sullen face, "Hein has great influence. You
Haven’t you ever wondered why we need to find you through the National Security Bureau?”
Li Xuan's face also darkened, and he stared at Chen Taizhong without saying a word. There was a faint chill in his body, which was incompatible with his gentle image as a pretty boy.
Chen Taizhong looked at Mo Jiao in astonishment and was silent for a moment. Fang Shi's eyes lit up and he nodded slowly with a smile on his face, "Haha, I understand, but this Hein is very familiar with Armon Hammer."
Yes, do you know Hammer?"
How dare you ask such a retarded question? Director Mo rolled his eyes at him and didn't bother to tell the truth. Of course he didn't know that someone had made a fool of himself in this regard. However, Li Xuan intervened again, coldly, "Please
Director Chen, tell me how you two met.
?"
Am I qualified to say no? Chen Taizhong curled his lips. Regarding the request of the intelligence agency, if he didn't want to cause trouble, he could only cooperate. He could not tell the story of how the two met each other.
After he finished speaking, he frowned and looked at Li Xuan, "If you need my cooperation, just say it, but after saying it all at once, I have no interest in your affairs at all."
"What's your attitude?" Although Li Xuan looks polite, he has a really hot temper, but this is normal. It's rare to see someone who doesn't give face when dealing with national security. "Do you know what national interests are?"
"Humph," Chen Taizhong snorted coldly, not bothering to answer the question, "I'm still busy with my own affairs, so stop talking to me about this and that. If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it."
Li was really at his wits end now. If Chen Taizhong was the target of Guoan's attack, then everything would be easy, but he was not, and he had a profound background. Once he didn't buy it, he would really just stare blankly.
"Okay," thinking of this, he actually smiled the next moment, "Haha, I just hope that you and Hein can have a good personal relationship. This person has great influence in the United States, Europe and the Middle East. I also need you to have a good relationship with Hein.
He maintains good relationships."
The speed of this guy's change of expression is comparable to mine. Chen Taizhong felt a little wary in his heart, but he was still happy to see the other party surrender to him, so he smiled and nodded, "That's no problem, I still want to
Let him invest."
After spending so much effort, he finally distanced himself from Guoan. This result made him quite satisfied. As for what Guoan wanted to do to Hein, he really had no interest in knowing about it.
Director Mo didn't seem to be interested in knowing, so he started chatting about some of his experiences in attracting investment. Time passed quickly. As the atmosphere improved, Li Xuan actually asked Chen Taizhong to treat him to lunch, "We should deepen our understanding."
,I heard that you have a good drinking capacity?"
With this episode, Chen Taizhong returned to Fenghuang at five o'clock in the afternoon. However, before he arrived in Fenghuang, three dinner parties came. One was from Wen Hai. He was entrusted by Tan Xiao and Pan Jinxiang to think of three people.
Sitting with Director Chen, the other two dinner parties were for Teng Jianhua and Zhang Xinhua.
Director Wen's dinner party was easy to recommend. Chen Taizhong told him casually, "I don't have any personal opinions on Director Tan and Director Pan. I just need to finish the things that Governor Chen told me."
Wen Hai still wanted to help him plead for mercy, but how could Chen Taizhong agree? "People are short-sighted. Under the current circumstances, I am not suitable to sit with them. Okay, Old Wen, let's leave it like this."
As for Teng Jianhua, he has found conclusive evidence. In fact, if there is a direction for investigation, it is actually very easy to figure it out. Even a nerd like him can easily understand the inside story. Director Teng used to only care about
I checked the medical books and never thought of this possibility.
"Director Chen, that Black Spiny Ant is indeed a pyramid scheme, but whether the Jinwu side is a pyramid scheme and who is behind it specifically, you didn't let me ask, so I didn't ask. Let's sit down together in the evening to discuss this matter.
thing?"
"Lao Teng, don't pack your bags. Your place is so poor, how can I have the nerve to eat from you?" Chen Taizhong smiled and answered him, "Just wait until tomorrow. There is a dinner tonight."
He really couldn't refuse the old secretary Zhang Xinhua's dinner party.
Chapter 1329: Don’t forget your roots
Chen Taizhong took Zhong Yunqiu to Zhang Xinhua's banquet. Secretary Zhong also knew how to do things. After answering Zhang Xinhua's call, he expressed that he did not dare to accept Secretary Zhang's invitation rashly, "Taizhong told me that you are his
Old secretary, how about we sit down together when he comes back?"
If there is not much knowledge in this officialdom, it is here. Zhang Xinhua showed his intention to be close, but how could she dare to accept it rashly? That was called a lack of expression.
In fact, with Zhong Yunqiu's age and horizons, and being a girl, she usually doesn't understand this kind of propriety. If she were someone else's secretary, she might really dare to go to this dinner, but she knew the relationship between Chen Taizhong and Wu Yan, so she would definitely
She didn't dare to go. She was going too far if she didn't report the situation to Secretary Wu.
However, today she went out with Chen Taizhong and asked for leave from Secretary Wu, so she didn't hide it from Wu Yan. After Wu Yan heard this, he called Chen angrily and said, "Taizhong, you are too
Are you being unscrupulous? Where are you going to put my face?"
"This is not a matter of shamelessness. Who gave you the power to monopolize and be domineering?" Chen Taizhong laughed when he heard this. "My old secretary didn't even have the guts to come to you. Xiao Zhong is just a buffer... Okay, okay.
, I’ll go find you tonight.”
"Come early, I want to hear about what you did in Subo," Wu Yan hung up the phone angrily, feeling a little awkward. Yes, she recognized Chen Taizhong's explanation, but she thought her secretary could
Going out to meet others as a lover, but the dignified district party committee secretary and district mayor actually has to swallow his humiliation and become this guy's underground lover. It's psychologically unbalanced.
Zhang Xinhua treated him to a family dinner, and the three of them found a small private room to eat and chat. This time, Secretary Zhang was not so pretentious. After a few drinks, he directly stated his goal, "Old Pei from the Organization Department seems to be going to
Adjusted, right, Director Zhong?"
"I'm not sure about this," Zhong Yunqiu smiled so brightly that the old secretary was a little dizzy. "But old secretary, you must have a point in what you said."
Yes, he spoke properly, but young Director Zhong did not dare to speak properly. However, it was enough for her to express her meaning.
"Organization Department?" Chen Taizhong was startled when he heard this. He hesitated and scratched his head, "I said, old secretary, this... this department is too important."
"I know this, but I have always been an organizer." How could Zhang Xinhua care about his image as an old secretary at this time? He defended himself very seriously. In fact, this was also to Chen Taizhong. If he were to face others, he would
How much should be considered in proportion.
"If you really can't do it, you have to become a regular person, right? I've been a high-ranking partner for more than two years. If I hadn't come to open the area, I might have been in the right place now. Alas," the old secretary picked up the wine glass and made a squeak.
After drinking it all in one gulp, he let out a long sigh, "Time waits for no one."
This is actually a bit of nonsense. He has never made any progress in a high-ranking position, which means that he has no manpower to support him. If he were to be a deputy elsewhere, it might be even worse.
Zhong Yunqiu did not dare to accept these words, so Chen Taizhong could only accept them. Secretary Zhang had already reached such an extent that he had to express his position, "Can other standing committee members of other districts, or deputy
department?"
He didn't dare to vouch for Wu Yan. Firstly, he was too disrespectful to Secretary Bai. Secondly, he agreed too readily, wouldn't it easily lead to some irresponsible speculation?
"Other districts... our open district sub-district office is doing well now, and the domestic industrial park is also a big one," Zhang Xinhua hesitated and sighed again. Obviously, he was reluctant to leave Hengshan District. The money scene here is definitely good.
.
"It's quite contradictory," Secretary Zhang glanced at Zhong Yunqiu, intentionally or unintentionally, "It would be great if the secretary of the subdistrict office could be a member of the Standing Committee. Wherever Secretary Wu points out, I will definitely hit him.
"
"The secretary of the sub-district office is appointed as a member of the Standing Committee? That's not impossible," Chen Taizhong frowned and nodded. In fact, to be honest, in everyone's eyes, among the many townships and sub-district offices below Hengshan District, the open district sub-district office is better than others at the same level.
The unit is a little higher, after all, it was planned to be promoted to deputy county level open district.
Zhang Xinhua said so that Zhong Yunqiu couldn't even pretend not to understand. He hesitated and finally nodded, "You are an old secretary of Taizhongdi. Let me try to help you pay attention...but I am small and weak.
I guess it’s not useful.”
"Thank you, Director Zhong." Zhang Xinhua actually visited Wu Yan a lot recently, but he didn't dare to mention Chen Taizhong to Secretary Wu. Zhong Yunqiu was sitting aside. If he talked nonsense, wouldn't he be giving the secretary eye drops?
After the meal, Zhang Xinhua was so drunk that he said goodbye. Before leaving, he pulled Chen Taizhong and whispered quietly, "It's really not possible. A similar deputy bureau can do it. Taizhong, I am also conflicted. Don't laugh at me."
.”
"How could I be that kind of person?" Chen Taizhong smiled and shook his head, thinking that Secretary Zhang was really anxious, "Don't worry, old secretary, Taizhong, I will help you pay more attention, I don't know how long it will take."
Death, but if I promise, it must count."
"Taizhong, you are a real person," Zhang Xinhua patted him on the shoulder, turned and left, and he whispered in the cold wind, "I am honored to be your old secretary..."
Next, Zhong Yunqiu must have returned to the adjacent building of the management office. After Chen Taizhong went home for a walk, he also passed there an hour later.
Wu Yan had already listened to Zhong Yunqiu's report. After meeting Chen Taizhong, he frowned and asked, "Is the relationship between Zhang Xinhua and you really good?"
"Let's put it this way...Jiang Shijie came along, and it was Zhang Xinhua who took care of me a lot when I was in the street office." Chen Taizhong smiled, "He also taught me a lot, so I feel that as a person, you can't forget your roots.
"
"It's definitely a good thing not to forget our roots," Wu Yan smiled and nodded, "Zhang Xinhua is a very capable person, and he is also very stable, but at the time he was a centrist selected by Dang Xiangrong for the sake of balance, and now there is no one behind him...
… Where are you going to put him?”
"It depends on the situation. You can't just ignore it. It's quite miserable for such an old man," Chen Taizhong sighed and shook his head, "If you can't turn back, find someone to help you get an official position."
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to Secretary Yaodong and let him serve as the United Front Work Director of the district committee. Then he will be a member of the Standing Committee." Wu Yan patted him on the shoulder and looked at him with a half-smile, "Anyway, he
As I said, wherever I point, he will hit...why don't you agree to him for me?"
"How dare I be your master?" Chen Taizhong smiled and shook his head, "Haha, if you want to die, there are many ways. There is no need to die so ugly, right?"
"Actually, you should think that for someone like Zhang Xinhua who has a good relationship with you, I don't even need him to completely listen to me." Wu Yan glanced at him sideways, ignoring that Zhong Yunqiu was at the scene, "At the critical moment, he only needs to listen to you.
That’s fine.”
Do you listen to me? Chen Taizhong thought about it, and it was the same reason. He and Wu Yan were two in one. Even if Secretary Zhang didn’t sell Secretary Wu’s face, he could only sell his brother’s face. “But this is a member of the Standing Committee.
Ah…it’s always bad to have too many different voices on the Standing Committee, right?”
"It's better to make some noise appropriately than to have no noise at all," Wu Yan replied lightly without explaining. She believed that Chen Taizhong would understand, "If everything is too clear, people who have different ideas will jump at it."
Not coming out."
"That's true, it's good to bury some secret moves," Chen Taizhong smiled and nodded, thinking that Xiaobai's fighting skills are considered to be very proficient among county and district-level cadres. Many top leaders pursue a strong statement, but don't know what the fate of the world is.
Madness brings misfortune, and being too complacent can easily lead to trouble.
Even if your fortune is good and you don't cause trouble, if your reputation as a "domineering" person spreads and you advance to other places in the future, it will easily arouse the vigilance and subconscious resistance of your colleagues in the new unit. Who knows where you will end up next?
Woolen cloth?
Of course, this is because Wu Yan is extremely powerful, so he deliberately pursues this skill and leaves it to other secretaries who are not very powerful, hoping that more and more of his people will be included in the Standing Committee and the government.
While he was feeling here, Wu Yan turned to look at Zhong Yunqiu and said, "Tell Zhang Xinhua later that he just needs to be himself. Just say that I know that his work ability is still very strong."
I'm sorry, Wu Yan accepted Zhong Yunqiu as his secretary. Is there such a wonderful use? As soon as Chen Taizhong heard this, he understood that his own people could use Zhong Yunqiu to rise to power. From the looks of others, they only knew that this person was not necessarily Wu Yan's.
However, no one among his confidants would have thought that Director Chen's people were equal to Secretary Wu's people in key matters.
For example, Zhang Xinhua was like this this time. As soon as Zhong Yunqiu said Wu Yan's words, Secretary Zhang most likely understood that it was Secretary Wu who nodded for him to become a permanent member, but Secretary Wu did not ask him to point out where to hit, and seemed to just appreciate it.
his ability to work.
In this way, the secret chess will take effect. Once something important comes up, Zhong Yunqiu can communicate with Zhang Xinhua. If Secretary Zhang turns against him and refuses to buy it, there is Chen Taizhong behind Xiao Zhong. Mr. Chen respects you, Lao Zhang, but
You don't even want to sell Xiao Zhong's face, huh, he's just a deputy... Is there any deputy in Fenghuang City who dares to challenge Chen Taizhong?
Many turbulent relationships in official circles are formed in this way, but the application level of this technique is mostly only available at the municipal level, especially in provinces, but not very common in counties and districts.
Because of this, Wu Yan does not object to quietly arranging a few people from Chen Taizhong to take over, but the specific situation must be dealt with in detail. After all, the relationship between the two is too sensitive.
Two chapters in one, asking for monthly votes with all my strength
