There are signs of cleaning in the yard, and the vines on the grape trellis have shown signs of withering. Under the autumn noon sunshine, an old man is sunbathing in the yard. There is a wicker chair under him, and he is covered with a grass-green blanket.
.
When the faint sound of footsteps came, the old man's eyes opened instantly, as if he felt something. When his eyes fell on the door, Wang Guohua, holding the child, and Chu Chu appeared next to him. The one leading the way was Lao Zhou.[
]
The old man was really old. His hands were trembling and he tried to hold himself up but failed. However, a staff member appeared beside him in time to help him up.
It was rare that there was laughter in this courtyard. During lunch, the old man actually drank some wine. If Lao Zhou hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to drink again.
After the beef meal, the old man glanced at Wang Guohua. Secretary Wang stepped forward to support the old man very cooperatively. The trembling old man sat on the patched wicker chair. With his withered hands like chicken feet, he pointed to the opposite side.
, Wang Guohua sat down silently.
"You're not bad. If a person doesn't have some persistence in his life, his life will be in vain." The old man spoke very slowly, as if he was struggling to speak. Wang Guohua vaguely felt that the old man's deadline was not far away.
"Thank you!" Wang Guohua bowed slightly, and the old man waved his hands and said: "No need to be modest! I know it very well. From now on, be nicer to Chu Chu." Wang Guohua nodded, and the old man's eyelids slowly closed, as if he had entered the water surface state.
.Lao Zhou came over at this time and winked at Wang Guohua. Wang Guohua then stood up and walked out gently.
"I haven't seen the old man so happy for a long time." Lao Zhou smiled. Wang Guohua didn't know how to answer, so he could only laugh.
Chu Chu came over with the child in her arms and said, "Let's go back."
When Lao Zhou put the two of them in the car, he whispered to Wang Guohua who was driving: "Come here often, my days are numbered." When he said this, Lao Zhou's eyes were red.
When the car came out of this forest, Wang Guohua asked Chu Chu: "How long has Lao Zhou been with the old man?"
Chu Chu said: "I can't remember clearly. When I was sensible, he was already here. The old man..." Chu Chu stopped talking.
In this way, Lao Zhou has stayed with the old man for at least thirty years. How many thirty years are there in a person's life?
Wang Guohua was going back to Tiezhou. When Chu Chu was packing her luggage, Wang Guohua came over, held Chu Chu's hand and said, "Why don't you stay in the Watermark City where the capital spreads its wings? The old man is too lonely." Chu Chu felt her nose sore and went to
The husband jumped.
As a result of the physical contact, Wang Guohua was about to move. The hand that fell on his buttocks slid down and scratched the soft part along the groin. Chuchu's body softened, and when he raised his head slightly and his eyes were blurred, there was an evil watermark of electric wings.
The words came in.
Helpless, Wang Guohua had no choice but to let go of Chu Chu and reached for the watermarked message on Dian Zhanyi on the bedside table. "Hello, who are you?" The watermarked message on Dian Zhanyi was unfamiliar. Not many people knew Wang Guohua's mobile phone number.
"It's me, Guo Qinghao! Can you please come out at night?" The voice from Dian Zhanyi's watermark frightened Wang Guohua. Why did this guy remember to call himself Dian Zhanyi's watermark?
"Hello Secretary Guo, no problem, you can tell me the place.
Wang Guohua quickly answered, and Guo Qinghao said with a smile: "That teahouse, come over now."
After Wang Guohua explained to Chu Chu, he hurriedly went out under the somewhat resentful eyes of his wife. He drove on the road, and in less than an hour, Wang Guohua arrived at the place.
This place was very quiet during the day and even quieter at night. When parking the car, Wang Guohua noticed someone approaching. When he opened the door and got out of the car, a man in his thirties asked expressionlessly: "Is that Comrade Wang Guohua?"
Wang Guohua said: "It's me." The man said: "Follow me."
The atmosphere was obviously more surprising than last time. Wang Guohua stopped being casual and followed him upstairs very carefully. It was still the same room, and two people were already sitting in it drinking tea.
"Here we come!" When Guo Qinghao saw Wang Guohua, he smiled and spoke to the man opposite. When the man saw Wang Guohua, he smiled and said: "Although your relationship is in the Central Organization Department, this is the first time I have met a real person."
Even though he understood the official identity card, Guo Qinghao still introduced him: "This is Director Liu of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China."
Wang Guohua hurriedly came forward to greet him. When shaking hands, Director Liu smiled and said, "You are so young, so enviable."
Guo Qinghao laughed and said, "Yuanhe, aren't you only thirty-five years old?"
Wang Guohua finally found a seat to sit down. When the waiter came to pour tea, Guo Qinghao smiled and handed Wang Guohua a cigarette: "Guohua, let's talk about the situation in the East China Sea."
Wang Guohua smiled and said, "You must have asked the wrong person about this. I haven't been to Tiezhou for a long time."
Guo Qinghao laughed, and his expression had obviously changed compared to the last time they met. His smile was very common in such private situations.
"Let's talk about your views on the economic development of Donghai Province." Guo Qinghao asked again casually. Director Liu opposite him smiled and watched Wang Guohua's reaction with interest.
"Your topic is too big. Can you let me just talk about Tielzhou?" Wang Guohua replied after hesitating for a moment.
Guo Qinghao couldn't help but laugh and said: "You are very cautious. Then I won't embarrass you. Let's talk about Tiezhou. Tiezhou is quite representative in Donghai Province."
"Tiezhou can be regarded as a microcosm. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country developed heavy industry. In the era of planned economy, Tiezhou was considered a relatively good city. As the pace of economic and institutional reforms has accelerated, Tiezhou's original industrial structure has been unable to keep up.
It’s time for the times. After I took office, the focus was to increase the intensity of attracting investment. There is no shortage of workers in Tiezhou, but there is a shortage of enterprises. Judging from the results, Tiezhou’s industrial problems have been initially solved," Wang Guohua said.
While here, Guo Qinghao raised his hand and interrupted: "You can be more direct and say that the pressure brought by the large number of laid-off workers on the Watermark Government of Xin Zhengzhan, the Tiezhou Municipal Committee, has been relieved."
Guo Qinghao's words made Wang Guohua feel more vigilant. At the same time, he could also get a glimpse of Guo Qinghao's character and style. After thinking for a moment, Wang Guohua continued: "This solves the problem of reemployment of laid-off workers and the unemployment rate.
This is just the first step I want to take. As the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, I believe that solving economic problems is important, but the more important thing is to deal with the problem of Qianbu Team. It can be said that in the process of economic development, the emergence of Qianbu Team
On the issue of corruption, if there is no good system to restrain power, corruption is inevitable."
"You are thinking very far!" Liu Yuanhe interrupted Wang Guohua suddenly.
Wang Guohua subconsciously looked at Guo Qinghao. Guo Qinghao waved his hand and said, "Go on, this problem will have to be faced sooner or later."
"My understanding is that we cannot place our hopes on the quality of Qianbu. Having a good system is a good way to reduce risks." Wang Guohua carefully chose his words and sentences. Guo Qinghao leaned on the back of his chair, his face tilted upward, his hands
He patted his thighs again and again, very rhythmically. Wang Guohua stopped talking and waited for a while. Guo Qinghao suddenly sat up straight, looked at Wang Guohua and said, "Why don't you say anything? Go on."
Wang Guohua smiled and said, "I have said everything that needs to be said."
After staying in this tearoom for about an hour, Wang Guohua left. During this period, except for a few words at the beginning, he listened to the conversation of the other two. Their topics were very complicated, involving personnel and economics. Wang Guohua was always very interested.
They accompanied him carefully until Director Liu suddenly glanced at Wang Guohua, who took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye.
In the dark of night, Wang Guohua's car had already gone away. Guo Qinghao, who stayed in the tea room, said to Director Liu: "What do you think?"
"He is a rare talent, very young and very cautious." Director Liu's conclusion was very simple. Guo Qinghao said with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Leng Yu is interested in bringing him to the Watermark City where Beijing is spreading its wings, and to help the National Development and Reform Commission."
"Well, I can be of some help." Director Liu gave an explanation in a leisurely manner. Guo Qinghao smiled slightly and said, "Thank you very much. I'll treat you to a drink another day." Director Liu said, "I'd better drink.
Tea, drinking too much wine is not good for your health."
After Wang Guohua drove away for a while, he subconsciously stopped by the side of the road. He took out his mobile phone and hesitated for a moment before dialing the number. After getting through, he said: "Old leader, Secretary Guo just asked me to sit down for a while."
In Dian Zhanyi's watermark words, Leng Yu smiled and said: "I guessed that he would ask you to meet, so I hinted to him before that I planned to transfer you to the National Development and Reform Commission to help." Wang Guohua was stunned. The last time Leng Yu proposed it,
Hasn't it been rejected already?
"Don't get it wrong!" Leng Yu chuckled, and Wang Guohua immediately understood the meaning of these words. He asked cautiously: "What do you mean? Secretary Ma Yuedong..." Leng Yu said simply: "You guessed it, Ma Yuedong
I have made reports many times and asked to step down. There are not many old people like him nowadays." Wang Guohua fell into thinking after hearing Leng Yu's words. Leng Yu smiled at Dian Zhanyi's watermark words.
, pressed the hang-up button. When Wang Guohua was interrupted by a beep, he patted his forehead with a wry smile and apologized for his mistake. 4
There aren't many old-fashioned people like this anymore, so this statement is worth pondering.
The plane landed at Chenzhou Airport. When Wang Guohua walked down the ramp, he unexpectedly saw an Audi car parked near the plane. Hao Longguang was waiting there with a smile on the edge of the ramp. When he saw Ren Guohua, he waved.
"Secretary, I'm back." Hao Longguang's tone was still a little unnatural, but this attitude was enough.
"Why bother Comrade Long Guang to pick me up?" Wang Guohua said politely, without any sarcasm in his words.
"The governor sent me here. If he hadn't had a meeting, he would have come in person." Hao Longguang said.
Liu Zhaoming was indeed in a meeting, and it was still the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. In fact, when Wang Guohua got off the plane, the meeting had ended for almost two hours. It was already 12:30 noon, and Liu Zhaoming was still staying patiently in the office.
Keep looking at the watch on your hand.
In the office of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary, Ma Yuedong was also looking at his watch. When the secretary came in to pour water, he said, "Boss, it's time to go back." Ma Yuedong shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Wang Guohua's flight should have arrived, right?"
The secretary said: "We have arrived. The Provincial Government's Shuiyin Mansion sent someone to pick her up at the airport."
"Oh?" Ma Yuedong pondered for a moment, then stood up with a smile and said, "Then I'd better go back."
The secretary said: "How about I give Secretary Guohua a watermark of "Electronic Spreading Wings"?" Ma Yuedong hesitated slightly and waved his hand: "No need!"
It should be said that Ma Yuedong was tempted by the secretary's proposal. However, after thinking about it carefully, he decided to give it up. There are some things that even a personal secretary, Ma Yuedong would not let him know. Rights are not things that can be put down just because they are put down.
Yes, but there are certain gestures that must be made. Between advance and retreat, Ma Yuedong was fully prepared, but when the time came, he could only retreat.
But, after all, I still have the heart to be reluctant to give up!
Liu Zhaoming's enthusiasm was not an act. As soon as Wang Guohua arrived at the door of the office, Liu Zhaoming strode out, stretched out his hand and said: "Guohua, thank you for your hard work! Thank you for your hard work!" When shaking hands, Liu Zhaoming was very strong.
"Governor, I am really flattered by your behavior." Wang Guohua remained polite and smiled. The situation in Donghai Province was about to change. Liu Zhaoming must have obtained the news through his own channels. It was impossible not to have an idea in his mind.
"Yes, you have done a great thing for the people of Donghai. The electrolytic aluminum project has been finally approved by the National Development and Reform Commission after discussion and settled in Renxian District, Tiezhou City. You don't have to be modest. I know it's all your fault.
The result of all-out activities." Liu Zhaoming said that Wang Guohua had no solution at all and could not explain it clearly.
"Actually, I didn't do anything." In the end, he could only say a simple humble sentence. Although it was the truth, Liu Zhaoming must understand it as modesty. Therefore, Governor Liu instinctively turned his head and glanced at Hao Longguang, who was following him.
It's a bit of a pity.
"To be modest, I won't say anything else. Let's talk about your thoughts." Liu Zhaoming got to the point and asked Wang Guohua to take a seat.
When the secretary brought the tea, he glanced at Hao Longguang. Mayor Hao was sensible and quietly changed his position. He was originally sitting side by side with Secretary Wang, but now he quietly moved his chair back a little.
"Then let me say a few words. First of all, this is a big project. Even if it is settled in Tiezhou, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will not have much say in the actual operation. My personal opinion is that the provincial government will not be responsible for the project.
Come forward to take the lead, while Tiezhou side plays the role. Secondly, after the project is completed, how to deal with the relationship between the main person in charge of the company and the local government. I mean, should the governor go to Beijing to spread his wings and fight for it in Shuiyin City?" Wang Guohua said.
Stopping, Liu Zhaoming smiled with satisfaction and said: "That's good. But I don't think we should think too much about the issue of the person in charge of this enterprise. This is a central enterprise. It is necessary to make some preparations in advance. It is not advisable to look forward to Shu."
"The governor is right, Guohua has learned a lesson." Wang Guohua's modesty made Liu Zhaoming feel very comfortable. Then he thought about it, did this guy deliberately leave a flaw in his words? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Hao Longguang again.
, if it were this guy, he would wish he could claim his three points of credit instead of twelve points, right?
"Guohua, how do you plan to cooperate with Tiezhou?" Liu Zhaoming said this, even if he confirmed Wang Guohua's intention. The next step was to reward Wang Guohua for his contribution. At this time, Liu Zhaoming would not deny anything Wang Guohua proposed.
"Governor, Comrade Long Guang has been working on this project. Shouldn't it be Comrade Long Guang who is responsible for the coordination and cooperation?" Wang Guohua pondered for a moment and said this. Hao Longguang's expression visibly stiffened, and Liu Zhaoming looked at it.
His face seemed expressionless, but his eyes stayed on Wang Guohua's face, as if he wanted to see something.
Is he really so calm? Liu Zhaoming asked this in his mind, but Wang Guohua was not abnormal at all.
What is the plan in the mind of this young municipal party committee secretary?
"Isn't this appropriate?" Liu Zhaoming's words were like pouring a bucket of ice water over Hao Longguang's head. Disappointed, Hao Longguang lowered his head. This project was settled in Tiezhou. If he came forward to cooperate, he could still win a lot.
Scored.
"What's wrong with this? This is originally the work of the government. If the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government cooperate, the work of Tiezhou City will naturally go smoothly. I have always thought so, Long
I have always admired Comrade Guang's work enthusiasm." What do you think of Wang Guohua's words? Although it sounds a little uncomfortable, you can't find fault with him.
Liu Zhaoming glanced at Hao Longguang and said calmly: "Longguang, please show your attitude."
Hao Longguang lowered his head and immediately played the ball. He said somewhat excitedly: "Governor, please rest assured. I will do a good job and cooperate with Secretary Guohua's work in the future."
Liu Zhaoming looked back at Wang Guohua. Secretary Wang smiled and stood up and stretched out his hand to Hao Longguang: "Comrade Longguang, I believe we can cooperate happily."
Wang Guohua left. After a short conversation, Wang Guohua chose to leave, and even politely declined Governor Liu's invitation to stay. Liu Zhaoming was somewhat regretful about this, but he had no intention of forcing him to stay. From the beginning, Wang Guohua's attitude remained unchanged.
Yes. If Liu Zhaoming still had some ideas in the past, after the big electrolytic aluminum project, Liu Zhaoming no longer had any extravagant hopes for Wang Guohua. You know, even if Liu Zhaoming himself came forward to campaign, he would not be able to win the project. Wang Guohua left
After a trip to Beijing's Watermark City, the investigation report of the National Development and Reform Commission, which had been difficult to produce for a long time, was released, with a clear trend.
If Liu Zhaoming cannot see the problems, then he is not worthy of being the governor. Of course, Liu Zhaoming is not very clear about the details, and the information channels have given him a hazy impression. But one thing is clear,
Wang Guohua was not the one he could care about.
There is another thing. I heard some rumors recently. Liu Zhaoming wanted to ask Wang Guohua if he had gained anything from spreading his wings in Shuiyin City, but after thinking about it, he decided not to ask. After all, this topic is too sensitive, and the two parties do not have that kind of friendship. Really?
Asked, it was looked down upon.
"Drive first and find a place to eat." Wang Guohua explained before getting in the car. Xu Yaoguo took the package and said: "Secretary, why don't you go to Chenzhou Hotel? Some time ago, your friend Mr. Jiang came again."
When Wang Guohua nodded, Tang Xinhua opened the door. After getting into the car, Wang Guohua closed his eyes to rest, and Xu Yaoguo carefully followed him into the car. When the car started, Xu Yaoguo whispered from the side: "Secretary, Director of the Beijing Office, Bei
Qiu Sheng, do you want to make a move? This person is capable, but his reputation is a bit poor."
Wang Guohua didn't open his eyes and didn't seem to hear. Xu Yaoguo didn't speak either. After waiting for a while, the car arrived at the Chenzhou Hotel, and then Wang Guohua said: "Let's ask Comrade Long Guang for his opinion on this matter. Tiezhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government
There can’t be long-term confrontation between the two Shuiyin Prefectures, right? This would be detrimental to the development of Tiezhou City.”
Xu Yaoguo was obviously stunned. What did Secretary Wang mean by this? Wang Guohua opened his eyes and looked at Xu Yaoguo. He chuckled and said, "Do you think Hao Longguang and I are opponents on the same level?"
Xu Yaoguo lowered his head and pondered this sentence for a while before realizing it. It turned out that Secretary Wang did not regard Hao Longguang as his opponent at all, or in other words, Hao Longguang was not in Wang Guohua's eyes at all.
After careful consideration, Xu Yaoguo suddenly figured out that Secretary Wang had never regarded Hao Longguang as a serious opponent from the beginning to the end. Only now did Xu Yaoguo understand this truth, and he couldn't help but secretly blame himself. As the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee,
I still don’t think enough about the leader’s thoughts.
Wang Guohua knocked on the door hard, and it was obvious to Bai Yao that Jiang Yijun had locked the office door to see what kind of plane was going on inside.
Dong dong dong, dong dong dong, it took about three minutes before someone inside asked: "Who?"
The voice was a bit awkward, coming from a woman. Wang Guohua said angrily: "The public security bureau checks the household registration."
With a click, the door opened. A frightened woman's face was revealed. Well, she turned out to be a foreign girl with chestnut hair and a high nose. She looked at Wang Guohua warily. Well, it seemed that she had forgotten to fasten the button on her chest.
A shallow groove was revealed.
"Boss, scary people can scare people to death." With a toothpick in the corner of his mouth, Jiang Yijun stepped forward with a smile, pushed aside the foreign girl in front of him, reached out and patted his butt and said: "It's okay, you go
Make tea.”
Wang Guohua came in and smelled a strange smell. He stretched out his hand to sweep his nose and said, "Open the window. What's the smell?"
Jiang Yijun came closer, laughed twice, pointed at the foreign girl's back and said, "Not bad, isn't she? A Ukrainian girl, her legs are amazing. But her breasts are a bit small, which is a pity!"
Wang Guohua kicked him without hesitation, but Jiang Yijun couldn't dodge and received a strong kick on his butt, and he rolled forward.
"Where's your supermarket? Don't you plan to open it?" Wang Guohua occupied the boss's chair behind the desk and crossed his legs to get comfortable. Jiang Yijun came over with a smile and reached for the flue: "How is that possible? Isn't this the place I went to recently?
I took a trip to Mobei Province and planned to open a new supermarket, but I didn't expect to gain a lot." What gain? It's not difficult to see from Jiang Yijun's eyes.
"You just healed the scar and forgot about the pain." Wang Guohua said very rudely. Jiang Yijun chuckled and said: "Of course I will remember the lesson, won't I change myself into a foreign girl?"
"Sooner or later, you will die on a woman's belly." Wang Guohua lowered his voice because the foreign girl came with a tea cup.
"Boss, I plan to open a club in Chenzhou, and the waiter will be a foreign girl. What do you think?" Jiang Yijun asked with a smile. Wang Guohua gave Jiang Yijun an expressionless look, which made this guy feel guilty.
