¡¶as an official¡· Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Waking up after being drunk "Xiao Du, wake up, don't sleep." A voice kept shouting in Du Yan's ear, causing Du Yan, who was sleepy due to a hangover, to struggle to open his eyes. A burst of dazzling sunlight hit his face, Du Yan raised his hand to cover his eyes, and then he began to feel something strange. "It's strange. Du Yan remembered that the night before, if it wasn't to see off Ding Hongwei, who was rushing to immigrate to Canada before the Spring Festival, he would have been reluctant to go out because of the cold weather. But now he clearly felt as hot as midsummer around him, and even the corners of his eyes felt stinging due to the sweat seeping into them. "Xiao Du, why are you sleeping at work? If the director sees it, you will get scolded." A figure blocked the sunlight outside the window. Only then did Du Yan get used to it, but when he saw the face of the person in front of him clearly, Du Yan Yan Que almost screamed! He rubbed his eyes hard first, and then looked over carefully. When he was sure that it was indeed the person in his impression, Du Yan's throat was dry and he said in a hard voice: "Are you Feng Chao? Aren't you dead? "Are you stupid in your sleep? Why don't you curse me?" Du Yan's words made the man named Feng Chao feel unhappy. If he hadn't asked for help, he would have turned against him. But when he thought about his purpose, Feng Chao Chao immediately forced out another smile. "Don't be so harmful, buddy," Feng Chao sat casually next to Du Yan and took out the cigarette case from his pocket and handed it to him, "Smoke this, it's definitely the real thing." He looked at Hilton in front of him, and then looked at it. Feng Chao was holding a cigarette case. Although everything in front of him seemed so real and even familiar, Du Yan felt that he must be dreaming. Because the person in front of him, in his memory, had been shot a few years ago! Seeing Du Yan still looking at him with a strange look, Feng Chao couldn't bear it any longer, and then he remembered something: "By the way, I forgot that you don't know how to smoke." As he spoke, he put out his cigarette. He put the box back into his pocket and sat at Du Yan's desk. "Xiao Du, let me tell you something," Feng Chao looked at Du Yan and said with a smile, "Recently, haven't various units held an essay competition with the theme of promoting the old Pingling and praising the new city? What the curator means is that we There are two people here at the Cultural Center to write, just you and me. Well, aren't you rushing to travel to the south with your girlfriend? After you finish writing, I will send our submissions to the municipal committee for publicity. Let¡¯s go and ask my uncle to say something and win a good place for our cultural center.¡± Looking at this person who in my mind should have been dead for several years, and then listening to this paragraph, no matter how many years have passed, Familiar words that he would never forget. After Du Yan secretly clenched his fists and dug his nails into his flesh, feeling a burst of pain, he slowly began to understand that what he saw in front of him was not an illusion, let alone a dream before he woke up. But it's actually happening. "I understand, I understand, but Du Yan really couldn't accept the fact that he actually returned to the year of 1990 when he was young after being drunk! Feng Chao, who was sitting opposite, looked at Du Yan's always cold expression, and the annoyance in his heart became increasingly difficult to control. For him, he felt that he was already very polite to this boy who had just been assigned to work in the cultural center. Because of his uncle¡¯s relationship, Feng Chao has always been very arrogant in the workplace, and the leaders of the cultural center also treat the nephew of the deputy director of the county government office in a different light. Originally, the cultural center was already very unpopular among various institutions. What's more, with the focus on the economy in recent years, the cultural center has become a place that grandma does not love and uncles do not love. Not to mention organizing some activities, sometimes in order to fight for When it comes to repairing funds for the equipment in the museum, the leaders of the cultural center would ask Feng Chao to help match up with his uncle. At that time, the separation system between the party and government where the party committee was in charge of politics and the government was in charge of financial rights was not so obvious. The deputy director of the county party committee office was to a large extent He was also a person who could speak in front of the secretary and play a big role in obtaining funding. This developed Feng Chao's habit of always being bossy and arrogant in the cultural center. Therefore, Feng Chao's patience with Du Yan's current indifferent attitude was running out. Just when he was about to lose his temper, Du Yan suddenly spoke: "I'm sorry, I just woke up and haven't recovered yet. You "What topic are you going to write about?" After hearing Du Yan's words, Feng Chao's anger immediately disappeared. He believed that Du Yan's words must be true. How dare the young clerk of the cultural center in front of him offend his own county government office? The deputy director's nephew is here. "Xiao Du, we must work harder this time," Feng Chao deliberately looked outside the open door. It was a coincidence that the door to their national art research department was the curator's office "Director Liu" But I am very annoyed that our county cultural center has not been able to function.?, I heard that I was criticized by the Municipal Cultural Center for this a few days ago. The two of us should work harder to help win back this face. "As he said this, Feng Chao deliberately patted Du Yan's shoulder affectionately, "After you finish writing, leave it alone and leave your share to me. I'll hand it in for you. I won't delay you and your girlfriend. Southern travel. "That's great. I'll start writing now and it will be published in a day or two," Du Yan started. At this time, he had gradually controlled his fluctuating emotions caused by the sudden and inexplicable return to the past. When he said When he said these words, he suddenly remembered that he had answered Feng Chao in the same way many years ago, and just like what happened at that time, Feng Chao was rarely so kind as to offer to help him submit articles to the county propaganda department. If it was the same as before. Not knowing the truth, Du Yan would be happy that Feng Chao was willing to help, because if according to the regulations of this essay competition, submission to the Propaganda Department must take two days, it would delay the travel time that he and his girlfriend had already scheduled, so Feng Chao was willing to help. Of course it was good to help deliver manuscripts, but Du Yan didn't think so now, because he knew why Feng Chao attached so much importance to this essay competition that no one paid much attention to at the time. Du Yan still remembered that he accidentally found out about this competition a long time ago! The essay competition was actually a test conducted by Li Peizheng, secretary of the county party committee who had just arrived at the time, to select a secretary. Feng Chao, who was selected, plagiarized the essay he wrote. With the help of his uncle, who was the deputy director of the county party committee office at the time, Feng Chao was selected. After finally becoming Li Peizheng's secretary, Du Yan felt uncontrollable anger. But at that time, Feng Chao was no longer able to compete with Du Yan, who was sent to work in the tertiary industry company under the cultural center due to job relocation. As the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Pingling County at the time, Feng Chao had become one of the most powerful people in Pingling. It was not until many years later that he was banned for committing huge amounts of corruption during his tenure and being a protector of the underworld. Eventually sentenced to death in accordance with the law, Feng Chao has always been an indelible shadow in Du Yan's mind. What's more important is that Du Yan will not forget that it is this Feng Chao who has always been obsessed with Su Qian, who later became his wife. Secretly, Feng Chao lost no time in approaching Su Qian's parents again and again, taking advantage of Su Qian's parents' vanity and trying to destroy the relationship between the two of them. If it weren't for Su Qian's deep feelings for Du Yan, in order to be with Du Yan, If they run away from home together, maybe everything will change. But it is also because of this that the relationship between Du Yan and Su Qian's parents has always been very tense. This has also led to Su Qian being depressed for many years. In addition, in the past. Although their lives gradually improved, Su Qian's body was still gradually weakening. These were all things Du Yan had experienced personally not long ago. "That's great!" Xiao Du, I'm waiting for your good news. Feng Chao had a friendly-looking smile on his face, but if you look closely you can see a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "By the way, do you want to show Director Liu the manuscript after it's written?" " Du Yan's heart moved, and he asked seemingly casually. Hearing this, Feng Chao's face froze slightly, and then he immediately nodded: "That's what it should be. Is it the leader's control? Let's leave it like this. You can do it later. Give me the manuscript, and I'll show both of us to Director Liu. " "That's really troublesome for you. I'll treat you to dinner when you get back from the trip. " Du Yan smiled, and Feng Chao also laughed. For a moment, it seemed that the entire office was filled with a sense of solidarity and comradeship. Seeing Feng Chao leave with satisfaction, Du Yan slowly turned around and stood on the wall opposite him. , hung a mirror that he had won in a previous internal team competition. Looking at the slightly unfamiliar face in the mirror, he felt an indescribable excitement. This face was not only young, but also translucent. With a slightly immature face, you can¡¯t see the decadent look that was weighed down by the unsatisfactory life after many years, nor can you see the few gray hairs that have appeared with age. At this time, Du In other words, they have just left campus and have not yet experienced the hardships and dangers of society. Like many young people who are not deeply involved in the world, they still deeply believe in the famous saying of a great man: "the world is yours, you just Just like the sun at ** o'clock" "I actually went back to the past. "At this time, Du Yan truly believed in this magical opportunity. Looking at the face in the mirror that seemed to have been forgotten for many years, and thinking about Feng Chao's hypocritical face just now, Du Yan finally believed that this was a gift given to him by God. An opportunity, an opportunity to re-control one's own destiny, is also an opportunity to completely change many things that should not have happened! Du Yan secretly warned himself that he must not let the opportunity run away so easily.?If God allows you to go back to the past, you must seize this opportunity and use the nearly twenty years of history that you have mastered from this time to completely change the lives of yourself and your relatives. Du Yan, who had made up his mind, seemed to feel energetic all over, but he knew that if he wanted to change his doomed fate, he must have a plan, and in order to deal with Feng Chao, who obviously had no good intentions, he must take action immediately! Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Cultural Center Officer Du Yan knew that this call for papers was for Li Pei, the new county party secretary, to elect a secretary. Feng Chao must have heard about it from his uncle, Wu Shenzhong, deputy director of the county party committee office. Du Yan also had a deep impression on the new county party secretary Li Peizheng. Du Yan felt that this was the only way to describe the county party secretary with whom he had contact later: a tragic hero! In Du Yan¡¯s memory, Li Peizheng¡¯s official career finally came to an abrupt end at the position of deputy director. For this person, Du Yan felt that he was often more like a gladiator who accidentally entered the officialdom. This was doomed to the inevitable end of a tragic figure like Li Peizheng in China's specific officialdom environment. But what really brought Li Peizheng's political career to a halt was a series of major events that happened a few years later. In that series of events, not only many officials in Hexi Province were involved, but it even eventually led to the political life of a certain big shot. That's the end. In that event, Li Peizheng, who chose to stand in the camp of the big shot, unfortunately became one of those who ultimately suffered defeat as the dust of the political struggle settled. ¡°However, Du Yan also remembered that even in the end, the review of Li Peizheng at that time did not find many issues worthy of discussion in terms of economy and life style. You must know that this was already a miracle in the officialdom at that time. In that environment where it is said that "all those who were shot were unjustly accused, and every other person who was shot was definitely someone who slipped through the net." Li Peizheng's ability to do this is admirable enough. But Du Yan also remembered that as Li Peizheng's first secretary in Pingling in his early days, Feng Chao, who was already the deputy director of the Pingling County Justice Bureau, unexpectedly escaped that incident, and what was even more surprising was that After that, Feng Chao's official career went smoothly until he finally reached the position of member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. Many people were surprised at the time, but many years later, after Feng Chao was finally punished by law for committing adultery, some of the truth gradually became known. It was Feng Chao who secretly defected to Li Peizheng's political opponents in the strange political atmosphere of the entire Xihe Province at that time. It can be said that Feng Chao was the one who played a major role in the turmoil that not only affected the entire Xihe Province, but even the entire country. Although it is inconspicuous, it still plays a role in fueling the flames. While Du Yan tried his best to recall what would happen in the next few years in his mind, he walked out of the office and walked towards the water collection room. Because it was July, many of the doors of the cultural center with simple conditions and no air conditioning were open for ventilation, so when Du Yan just walked through the door of an office, he heard someone calling his name. "Du Yan, where are you going?" A young man who looked familiar even after so many years came out of the office. Looking at this picture, he looked almost twenty years younger, and he was inexplicably confused just because he drank with him. Du Yan suddenly smiled as he returned to this era's chubby face. "Why are you giggling?" Ding Hongwei looked at Du Yan strangely. At this time, although Ding Hongwei had not become as obese as he would later be, there were already signs of that trend. He and Du Yan had been very good friends since junior high school. Du Yan has a deep relationship with Ding Hongwei, who has maintained friendship even when he was in decline. However, Du Yan, who saw Ding Hongwei at this time, was not just happy to see his friend from twenty years ago again, but because after seeing Ding Hongwei, he had suddenly thought of a way to deal with Feng Chao. "Hweiwei, go home and talk to your father. I'll go to your house tomorrow night and ask him to show you something to waste his time." Du Yan asked with a smile. He knew that Ding Hongwei's father, Ding Bingxian, editor-in-chief of "Pingling County News" I am an old chess fan. Although my chess skills are not very good, I am very addicted. After dinner, I always like to play with some chess friends in the pavilion in the woods behind the mountain until dark. "It's your submissions again," Ding Hongwei showed a disdainful expression, "You really think you can become a great writer." Du Yan didn't care about Ding Hongwei's sarcasm: "No matter what, I have to give it a try. No, this time I want to ask Uncle Ding to show me something, and if possible, let¡¯s make some tofu. " "Okay, you can come tonight, and I'll tell my dad," Ding Hongwei agreed casually. Throughout the afternoon, although Du Yan was anxious, he still had the patience to wait for the time. As soon as the bell rang, he immediately picked up his schoolbag and left the office. However, when he walked to the door of the cultural center, he saw a familiar figure under the shade of a tree. At this moment, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a deep tenderness in his heart. Wearing a light green dress and a pale white wide belt, Su Qian is refreshing and casual with a hint of elegance, making Su Qian attract everyone around her like a trickle in this hot summer.Our attention. Seeing Du Yan, Su Qian showed a smile. She stepped forward and wanted to come over, but Du Yan had already strode towards her. Just when Su Qian was about to speak, she could see someone rushing back and forth in front of her. Du Yan had already stretched out his arms to hold Su Qian tightly in his arms! There was an unexpected sound from the crowd around. In this era when most people are still conservative, Du Yan's behavior was simply shocking. Some parents who had just picked up their children from school screamed in a low voice while shielding their children with their hands. , and although many young people were embarrassed, they secretly turned to look at these two young people. "Du Yan, what are you doing? Let me go, everyone is watching!" Su Qian, whose face was flushed by Du Yan's sudden move, felt her face hot with embarrassment. She reached out and patted Du Yan's back hard. She tried to break free from his arms, but Du Yan refused to let go. He kept whispering words in Su Qian's ear that no one could understand. It wasn't until a while later that he let go of Su Qian, slightly raised his voice and said to Su Qian seriously: "Qianqian, don't worry, we will You will definitely live a good life." Looking at Du Yan's serious expression, Su Qian, who was a little annoyed, couldn't help but soften. She took out her handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from Du Yan's face, and then said softly: "I know Du Yan. I've known it since a long time ago." Under the gaze of people around him, and with Ding Hongwei's exaggerated whistle not far away, Du Yan pulled Su Qian and walked away along the street. They didn¡¯t notice that in a window of the cultural center, a pair of jealous eyes stared at their backs until their figures completely disappeared in the crowd. Like Du Yan, Su Qian¡¯s home is also in the dormitory area of ??Taihua Machinery Factory. As time goes by, the originally relatively regular dormitories have been cut into courtyards of different sizes. Speaking of which, Du Yan and Su Qian's parents had been colleagues in the same company for many years, but they were not familiar with each other because the machinery factory was so big. Du Yan's parents are old employees of Taihua Machinery Factory. In the 1960s, in order to build the third line of the university, Taihua Machinery Factory, which was originally in the city, moved to Pingling County, far away from the city. In the early days, as a As a large division-level enterprise, Taihua Machinery Factory can be said to have created great achievements not only for Taihua City, but also for Pingling County. It has at least solved work problems for many people in Pingling. But as time changed, the living environment of Taihua Machinery Factory became difficult. By the early 1990s, it had almost ceased production and business. Because of this, Su Qian's parents, especially her mother Gu Weifen, strongly opposed the relationship between Su Qian and Du Yan. In the view of Su Qian's mother, the children who came out of the old machinery factory had no future. Therefore, when Gu Weifen saw her daughter walking over with Du Yan, the look on her face was not so good. "Qianqian, come here!" Gu Weifen's unique slightly sharp voice made Su Qian's expression change. She had to admit that Su Qian was very afraid of her mother. But she also loves Du Yan, which makes Su Qian very sad. Although she knows that her mother is doing it for her own good, she can't help but feel torn every time she sees her mother's noseless and faceless way towards Du Yan. She doesn't know what to do. "Who told you to still associate with this wild brat? Why are you so disobedient?" Gu Weifen's voice was not low. She wanted Du Yan to hear "Didn't I tell you everything? Aunt Zhou's We've found a good match for you. Doctors are so popular these days. Why are you so stubborn?" "Mom, what are you talking about?" Su Qian looked back anxiously at Du Yan, who was not far away. I'm really afraid that Du Yan won't be able to control himself and will have a conflict with his mother. If he hadn't dealt with it a few days ago, the two of them might have directly confronted each other. "Du Yan works in the Cultural Center, and he is also a state cadre after all. Isn't it very good? "Mom, why don't you look down on him?" "What's the use of a small-time office worker? The cultural center is about to close. How will you be able to support you in the future with two hundred yuan a month? Do you think that living with daily necessities is the same as falling in love?" It will make you miserable. If you follow him, you will suffer a day." Gu Weifen's voice got louder and louder as she spoke. Finally, she simply walked around her daughter and walked to Du Yan, saying to this boy who she didn't like, "I said. Why are you so shameless? You keep pestering our family Qianqian all day long. Let me tell you that our family Qianqian has a boyfriend. He is a doctor in the county hospital. You'd better give up. It's between the two of you. There is no way from me." "Mom! You are like this!" Su Qian felt angry and was afraid of hurting Du Yan's self-esteem. She took a few steps to stop her mother anxiously. Her eyes were red because of her anxiety. It was red and seemed about to shed tears. Seeing the tears in her daughter's eyes, Gu Weifen softened her heart for a moment. She first glared at Du Yan fiercely, and thenAngrily, she turned around and walked towards the way she came, but after taking a few steps, she turned back and shouted to Su Qian: "Qianqian, come home with me!" Under the urging of her mother, Su Qian could only whisper to Du Yan He said, "My mom said, don't be angry. I'll go find you later." He immediately followed her, but even so, Du Yan still saw the tears Su Qian shed when she left. Looking at the mother and daughter walking away, Du Yan felt suffocated and bit his lip hard. Gu Weifen looks down on him, he knows it. And he also knew that this was not entirely because he was just a director of the county cultural center, but more about his life experience. In the eyes of that snobbish woman, she really is nothing. Even after marrying Su Qian, Gu Weifen's attitude towards him did not change. As the situation of the cultural center became worse and worse, Du Yan had to be transferred to the subordinate tertiary industry. Gu Weifen became even more sarcastic towards him. Su Qian could only cry silently at such times. If he was still in a daze before, now Du Yan is completely awake. Since he has a chance to come back, why not let his own life and the lives of those around him change? For the first time, Du Yan discovered the meaning of returning to this era. ¡°At least he didn¡¯t want to see Su Qian¡¯s tears again, nor did he want to hear Gu Weifen¡¯s harsh sarcasm. The beginning of changing all this starts with meeting Ding Hongwei¡¯s father, Ding Bingxian, at night. But before that, Lu Yan had to go home. When the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard door appeared in front of him, Lu Yan felt unspeakable emotions in his heart. This is his home, and he is very familiar with every plant and tree here. ¡°Perhaps because of the sound outside, a pretty figure appeared at the door amid the faint sound of the courtyard door. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Is it really such a coincidence? "Brother, are you back?" A girl stood in front of Du Yan. Although this girl with a pair of big smiling eyes was not old, she was not short. She had two braids neatly coiled on her head and was wearing a top. The light yellow short-sleeved bat shirt, which is very popular at this time, and a pair of light-colored cropped trousers on the lower body set off a small section of white calf exposed, looking full of youthful vitality. Seeing his sister, Lu Yan smiled. Speaking of which, in this family, this sister who is several years younger than him has a very good relationship with him, even though they are not biological siblings. Du Yan is an abandoned baby. Regarding Du Yan¡¯s life experience, his parents did not hide it from him, or they could not hide it. Du Yan picked it up outside less than a month after his father Du Weiguo and mother Sang Shulan got married. At that time, Taihua City was experiencing a huge flood, because the orphanage was destroyed by the flood, and the couple The two had to leave their infant child with them for the time being. According to Du Weiguo¡¯s wishes, after the orphanage was repaired, they would naturally send the child back. However, as time passed, they began to be reluctant to part with the child. The most important thing was that Sang Shulan had not given birth for several years, which made them finally decide to raise the child by themselves. Although a few years later, they finally had a daughter, Du Weiguo and his wife still regarded Du Yan as Just like your own child, you will be loved more and more. "Xiao Fei, why didn't you go to school today?" Looking at his sister, Du Yan deliberately said in a harsh tone. Du Fei didn¡¯t know that he and Du Yan were not biological siblings at first, but as time went by, Du Fei also heard some rumors. I don¡¯t know when Du Fei started looking at his brother, but the way he looked at his brother gradually changed, which finally attracted the attention of their mother Sang Shulan. At the beginning, Sang Shulan really had the idea of ??letting them change from brother and sister to husband and wife. However, after knowing that Du Yan had quietly made a girlfriend in school, Sang Shulan gave up this idea. . However, Sang Shulan felt that Du Fei had to stop having those unwanted thoughts as soon as possible. After she revealed this intention to her son intentionally or unintentionally, Du Yan naturally kept some distance from her sister. Normally, He is more like a big brother, a little majestic but not friendly. This once made Du Fei very unhappy, especially as she got older after working, her parents and Du Yan kept looking for a partner for her, so Du Fei simply moved out of home and moved into the dormitory of her company. But what always made Du Yan very strange later was that in his memory, until he returned to this era, Du Fei had been single and not in love. "You forgot that today is Tuesday, and the school does not have classes in the afternoon." Du Fei said as he pulled Du Yan into the house, but before that, Du Yan saw his sister looking behind him warily, which made him couldn't help but I have a slight headache. I don¡¯t know why, but Du Fei and Su Qian have never gotten along. Even after they got married, Du Fei always maintained a distance from Su Qian that although they were polite, they were always unable to get close. This has made many times After working hard, Su Qian finally admitted failure and said to Du Yan, frustrated and helpless: "It's all because of you." "You came back really early today and didn't go shopping with your girlfriend?" Du Fei asked deliberately, "It's not easy to do it." Isn¡¯t your girlfriend angry if you don¡¯t spend time with her?¡± Du Yan glared at his sister: ¡°What are you thinking about, kid?¡± As he said that, he walked into the room and looked at her. Du Yan couldn't help but stop when he reached Sang Shulan, who was just walking to the door. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If it is said that he has not had much affection because he had been in contact with Du Fei before his rebirth, when seeing his mother at this time, Du Yan could scarcely conceal the sorrow in his heart. Just a few years before he returned to this era, Sang Shulan finally collapsed due to the burden of the family, and soon fell ill and died. His father, Du Weiguo, was also extremely saddened by the death of his wife and seemed to have aged for many years. "Mom, I'm back." Du Yan said softly. Looking at his mother who could still vaguely recognize her demeanor as the captain of the iron girl at this time, Du Yan became more sure of his goal of starting over in this world. . Seeing her son's strange expression, Sang Shulan couldn't help but asked with concern: "Xiao Yan, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" "No, Mom, I'm fine. Maybe I'm a little tired from working in the unit." Du Yan tried his best to be patient. His emotions seemed more natural. When he saw his father coming out of the room, Du Yan walked up a few steps and called: "Dad." "It doesn't matter if you are tired from working in the unit. There is no harm in young people working harder," Du Weiguo smiled. Say to your son, "Don't learn from those glib people nowadays.""Young people, it seems that if you let them work more, they will die. Speaking of our time" Hearing that his father was about to start talking again, Du Yan couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly, but looking at Du Weiguo, who still looked full of life, He felt a little comfort in his heart. "Mom, I'll be back later tomorrow night," Du Yan said casually to his mother while eating, "Don't wait for me to have dinner." "You're going out with that Su Qian again, right?" Du Fei's face darkened slightly, but despite this, because she was extremely cute, her angry look would only make people like her more. "I said, brother, Su Qian's mother doesn't like you, why do you have to To interact with her, our family insists on asking them to be our in-laws. " "What are you talking about, Xiaofei? In the future, Su Qian will be your sister-in-law. That's her mother, no matter how big or small she is. " Sang Shulan interrupted Du Fei's words. Sang Shulan knew very well what her daughter was thinking about as she grew up. However, seeing that her son had always regarded Du Fei as his sister, and also had a girlfriend as beautiful as Su Qian, She gave up all her thoughts on marrying her children off. Seeing his sister's unhappy face, Du Yan could only sigh inwardly. It was not that he didn't know what his sister was thinking. Even Du Fei had a vague idea of ??not getting married. He guessed it, but he didn't care about that much at this time: "I'm going to Uncle Ding's house, and I want to ask Uncle Ding to read some manuscripts for me. " After hearing the manuscript, Du Fei suddenly became excited: "Brother, you really want to be a writer. Speaking of which, when our teacher Yao mentions you, he keeps praising you in class, saying that you were taught by him. He is one of the students with the best writing skills, and may even be a writer for a national newspaper in the future. " Hearing the teacher who taught him in the past praise his writing style, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little proud. Speaking of which, Du Yan thought that his writing skills were quite good, otherwise he would not have become the cultural officer of the county cultural center. " However, Now, Du Yan's purpose has changed. As he suddenly experienced nearly twenty years of time like a dream, Du Yan believed that he could completely control his own destiny in the future, which made him decide to make a complete change. My own life, and maybe the lives of many people. After a night of hard work, an article about praising the history of Pingling County and looking forward to the future of New Pingling has been published. In fact, such an article is a great contribution to the culture of Pingling County. It is not difficult for Du Yan, who is an official, and more importantly, in this article that was originally full of literary and artistic color, Du Yan used his understanding of history to elaborate more on the general direction of Pingling's future development. It can be said that this is no longer just a simple literary essay, but has incorporated more practical and macroeconomic factors. Looking at the written manuscript, Du Yan couldn't help but think of it. That annoying Feng Chao. Du Yan spent the whole next day busy. During this period, Feng Chao took the opportunity to visit him several times. However, he saw that Du Yan was busy writing at his desk. So they didn't bother him much, but neither Feng Chao nor anyone else thought about what Du Yan was writing, or even if they saw it, they wouldn't understand what he wrote. After getting up that morning, they found themselves. Still the same person, instead of being stuck in a dream, Du Yan began to think deeply about his current situation. He couldn't even figure out which of the twenty years he had experienced before and the present was his dream, and he also thought that any time As time changes, perhaps the things that have happened in his memory will gradually become blurred and eventually forgotten, so he decided to take advantage of the fact that his memory is still clear to record the things that will happen in the future in his mind in a way that only he can understand. Record it, these things may be just a number, or they may be just a sentence that seems to have no meaning, and even if these things fall into the hands of others, they will not attract attention. When the off-duty time finally arrived, Du Yan ignored him and seemed to speak. After greeting Feng Chao and Ding Hongwei, the two of them walked out of the cultural center together. When they saw Su Qian still waiting across the street, Du Yan was stunned for a moment and then walked over. "I'm sorry Su Qian, I have something to do today, so I won't go home with you. Su Qian's eyes flashed with uneasiness: "Du Yan, are you unhappy because of my mother's attitude towards you yesterday?" "How is that possible," Du Yan comforted Su Qian softly, "I really have something to do today. The unit is very busy these days, but when this time passes, we will be better off in the future." " Because she couldn't understand the meaning of Du Yan's words, Su Qian was still a little uneasy. Although she quickly calmed down and said hello to Ding Hongwei who came over, it wasn't until she saw the two of them walking away that Su Qian There was still concern on his face.I didn't know when Feng Chao came over. He thought he was more qualified than Du Yan for this young girl from the county Youth League Committee. However, when he just invited her to watch a movie together, Su Qian was polite but quite He refused coldly. "What's so great? Just wait and see. It won't take long for you to know how great it is." Looking at Su Qian who was also walking away, Feng Chao muttered angrily in his heart, "When I tell Du to get out of here, who can ask for help when I see him?" "Who?" Du Yan and Ding Hongwei arrived at Ding Hongwei's house but failed. They heard Ding Hongwei's mother said that his father, Ding Bingxian, had left first because he couldn't help his chess addiction and asked them to go to the woods in the back mountain. After looking for him, the two people had to walk back to the mountain. "I'm not talking about Hongwei. With your father's level, why is he so addicted?" Du Yan said to Ding Hongwei with a smile as he walked away. "Haven't you heard that the more stinky the chess basket is, the greater the addiction." Ding Hongwei obviously didn't care about saying bad things about him. When they walked to the woods at the back of the mountain, a group of people were surrounding Ding Bingxian and another person. , watching them kill each other inextricably. Seeing Lu Yan and two people from a distance, Ding Bingxian just nodded. In fact, at this time, Ding Bingxian had been killed miserably by the opponent. Looking at the tree branch next to him that counted the number of wins and losses, Lu Yan concluded that Ding Bingxian must have inherited Zeng Wenzhenggong's "repeatedly" "Fight after defeat, fight after defeat," the firm belief persists until the opponent surrenders. However, after he accidentally raised his head and glanced at this opponent who dared to compete with Editor-in-Chief Ding, Lu Yan¡¯s heart suddenly jumped! Lu Yan never expected that the day after he woke up from the dream, he would meet Li Peizheng, the Pingling County Party Committee Secretary who was said to have just arrived! Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Li Peizheng Li Peizheng is forty-two years old this year. For people of his age, this is a critical period when his future can either rise or fall. ¡°As a county party secretary, although he has little age advantage and his promotion speed is acceptable, as a newly promoted county party secretary, he is a little more particular about his age and period. If he does a good job in office and his official career will be relatively smooth in the next few years, Li Peizheng is expected to make a fortune before retiring. If everything goes well, he can also transition to the National People's Congress for a few years before completely retiring from his actual position in a certain department. If the opportunity is good, he can even retire with the benefits of a deputy department. But if things don¡¯t go well, he will end up at the deputy director level at most. In fact, in Du Yan's memory, Li Peizheng ended his official career precisely at the deputy department level, and more importantly, he did not go through the National People's Congress transition like other cadres retired, but his career ended abruptly and he retired to the end. If Du Yan hadn't been implicated in what later shocked the entire Hexi Province, Du Yan didn't know where Li Peizheng would have gone, but he should have been at least higher than the deputy director. The success or failure of all this had nothing to do with Li Peizheng's ability. It's just about the rivalry between officials. At this time, Du Yan had no intention of thinking about the future. He did not expect that Li Peizheng would unexpectedly appear here. But he soon remembered that he had heard someone say that after he faded out of officialdom, Li Peizheng, who was also a chess fan, often played chess with people in places where chess friends gathered in Taihua City. However, at that time, Li Peizheng had already moved from one place to another. The executive deputy mayor at the municipal level has become an indifferent old man who takes everything lightly. Many people even don¡¯t know that that simple-looking chess player was the executive deputy mayor of Taihua City who once had huge ambitions! The sudden appearance of Li Peizheng made Du Yan seem to see a golden opportunity, but he also knew that he must not let Li Peizheng realize that he had recognized him at this time, otherwise all the painstaking preparations might be in vain. But this is not difficult. As far as Du Yan knows, Li Peizheng has only been in office for a few days. Except for the cadres and employees of the agencies directly under the county committee and county government, not even the cadres from each township can recognize the new county committee member. secretary. Of course, Ding Bingxian must know Li Peizheng. This made Du Yan suddenly understand why Ding Bingxian, after agreeing to read the manuscript, failed to make the appointment to come to the grove in the back mountain. Ding Bingxian undoubtedly knew that Li Peizheng was here, and Du Yan also knew something that perhaps few people in Pingling County knew about at this time, that is, Li Peizheng and Ding Bingxian were college classmates. "Dad, are you playing mushroom chess with others again?" Ding Hongwei stood behind his father and laughed. He didn't know Li Peizheng, and of course he didn't know that the reason why I asked them to come here was just to let him play. Show your face to your old classmates and current parents to leave a good impression. "Weiwei, don't disturb others," Du Yan shook his head at Ding Hongwei, "Don't forget that watching chess without speaking is a true gentleman." "If I watch chess without speaking, then this game of chess can be played until tomorrow morning," Ding Hongwei said Li Peizheng looked at the father and son opposite and said with a smile, "Uncle, don't talk to my dad anymore. If you don't admit defeat, he will consume you all night." Ding Hongwei's words made Li Peizheng's face show. A hint of smile: "It seems that the old saying can also be said backwards. It should be better to know the father than the son." "Uncle Ding is said to be stronger the more frustrated he becomes, and the older he gets, the stronger he becomes. This is probably what the elders need the younger generations to learn." Du Yan, who was standing nearby, saw the opportunity and answered softly. Li Peizheng glanced at Du Yan and smiled silently. Just as Du Yan was thinking about how to continue to bring up the topic, Ding Bingxian shook his head helplessly: "It seems that we are really losing. By the way, what are you doing here?" Ding Bingxian Du Yan's words made Du Yan more sure of his previous suspicion. Although Ding Bingxian did not necessarily know the real purpose of this essay collection, he at least had the purpose of showing his son in front of the county party committee secretary. As for Du Yan, it was just a way of helping him. After all, Ding Bingxian also liked his son's friend very much. Speaking of which, a few years ago, there was a period of time when Ding Hongwei was in a rebellious period that most young people have experienced. The relationship between father and son was very tense for a time. The reason why it later improved was partly due to Du Yan's enlightenment to Ding Hongwei. . Therefore, Ding Bingxian has a good impression of Du Yan. For this junior, Ding Bingxian is willing to support him if he has the opportunity. "Uncle Ding, I have something here that I want to publish in our county newsletter. I would like you to correct me." Du Yan, who was worried that he could not find a chance, handed over the manuscript he had prepared. At this time, his heart ??I can say that he is not nervous. Although he did not expect to meet Li Peizheng, nor did he expect that Li Peizheng would see his article immediately, having Ding Bingxian review the manuscript for him and even submit it to Pingling Newsletter was indispensable in his plan. a part of. In his previous thoughts, although Du Yan knew in advance that Feng Chao would plagiarize his article, Du Yan knew that even if he pointed out his plagiarism afterwards, he might be bitten by Feng Chao because he had no evidence, so he thought I figured out a way to get into trouble if Feng Chao plagiarized, and that was to publish this article in the "Pingling County Newsletter" while submitting it to the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee. Du Yan is not afraid that Feng Chao will read this article, because he knows that as a county magazine, "Pingling News" only has two circulations every Wednesday and Sunday. In other words, the article he wrote for Ding Bingxian will be published this week. It will be published on Sunday, and the submissions requested by the Propaganda Department will not be published in the "Newsletter" until next Wednesday, and the deadline for submissions is at the weekend of this week! Du Yan believed that if Feng Chao really dared to plagiarize his article, then his behavior would be completely exposed to the people of Pingling County. Although not everyone reads county-level publications like "Pingling News", This was enough to discredit Feng Chao. Now Li Peizheng's unexpected appearance makes Du Yan feel that his plan is one step closer to success. At least in this way, Li Peizheng himself is the best certifier. Because the secretary of the county party committee is right across the street, even though he is an old classmate, Ding Bingxian still cannot be too casual. Speaking of which, Ding Bingxian also knows that his boy's habits are not suitable for career development, so the purpose of letting his son show his face in front of Li Peizheng has been achieved. , he didn¡¯t want to be too conspicuous, so he took Du Yan¡¯s article and flipped through it casually. But then, Ding Bingxian frowned at first, and then he couldn't help but let out a chuckle: "Du Yan, are you submitting a literary and artistic contribution or an economic development outlook? Looking at what you have written, you are simply planning a five-year plan for Pingling." Economic planning? " Ding Bingxian's words undoubtedly attracted the attention of Li Peizheng next to him. He first looked at Ding Bingxian thoughtfully, then took the manuscript and flipped it through with a smile. Li Peizheng read quickly. He first flipped through a few pages at random, then raised his head slightly unexpectedly and glanced at Du Yan, who had a natural look on his face. Then he turned back to the front and looked down. Li Peizheng's eyesight was very fast, and he could say that it was about the same as one glance and ten lines. Although no other expressions could be seen on his face, Du Yan's heart was extremely excited at this time. He knew that due to a combination of circumstances, everything could have happened in a huge way. The change. It is conceivable that even if I cannot become Li Peizheng's secretary this time, I can at least leave an impression in Li Peizheng's mind. Du Yan is confident that his understanding of the future is enough to lay a new foundation for himself. When Du Yan and Ding Hongwei helped Ding Bingxian pack up the chessboard and chairs and go down the mountain along the path, Li Peizheng smiled slightly when looking at Ding Bingxian who didn't seem to take it seriously. "Bingxian, how come I never thought you were so cunning?" Li Peizheng said lightly. Seeing Ding Bingxian's embarrassment at being exposed, Li Peizheng still smiled, "Your boy's character" At this point, Li Peizheng shook his head slightly, "Bingxian, I'm not saying that your boy is not suitable for being in the government." "Hey, I said the same," Ding Bingxian smiled bitterly, "He has always been thinking about going into the sea, but this sea is easy to enter." Yes, if I really just want to lose money, I'll accept it, but I'm afraid that someone else will get involved in the end. I'm just a son, and I don't want anything to happen to him." Li Peizheng nodded slightly after hearing this. He didn't say anything else and looked at it. The manuscript is just Ding Bingxian sighing, and Li Peizheng's expression is always so calm and indifferent. On the way home, Du Yan was a little silent. He really didn't expect to meet Li Peizheng. He didn't know if Li Peizheng had recognized him. However, he believed that it would be okay even if he knew, because not many people really knew that Li Peizheng was choosing a secretary. At least, although Ding Bingxian and Li Peizheng were classmates, Li Peizheng would not tell him these things, otherwise Ding Bingxian would never let him go so directly. The son showed his face in front of Li Peizheng. Although he is only the editor-in-chief of "County Newsletter", Du Yan always believes that Ding Bingxian has a much deeper understanding of officialdom. Perhaps it is this understanding that makes him stay away from right and wrong, and is willing to just be an idle person like a leisurely cloud and a crane. That is, under the leadership of Li Peizheng When he was in Zheng Pingling, Ding Bingxian never deliberately got close to his classmate. If Li Peizheng hadn't suffered a setback later in his career, Ding Bingxian would no longer have any scruples to get closer to his old classmate. Even Ding Hongwei would not have known that it turned out that the county party secretary and himself Not only are we classmates in college, but we also have bunk beds in the dormitory. But for Du Yan, this unexpected encounter today wasAlthough unexpected, it also has extraordinary significance. He knew that although Li Peizheng just casually flipped through what he wrote, at least he had left an impression. Even Du Yan was prepared that he would not be selected as Li Peizheng's secretary. After all, Feng Chao was not selected. Just because of an article, there is some connection with Feng Chao¡¯s family. But Du Yan was already very satisfied. Based on what he learned later, and what Ding Bingxian sometimes mentioned in casual conversations about Li Peizheng's habits, Du Yan knew that once Li Peizheng knew that Feng Chao's article was plagiarized from others, he would not use this person again. At least for a leader, the people around him as secretaries must be shrewd, but their character is also very important. Some leaders may not have very good character themselves, but they often require the people around them to be honest and kind, at least honest and kind to themselves. Du Yan couldn't stand Feng Chao's unreasonable entanglement with Su Qian in his capacity as the secretary of the county party committee. He was even more unwilling to see Su Qian's mother once accept Feng Chao's benefits and then take matters into her own hands to let Su Qian and Feng Chao The dating thing happened again. Since these things have not happened yet, Du Yan thinks that it is necessary to completely eliminate the root cause. And the best way to eradicate it is to prevent that despicable villain from having a "bright" future for advancement from the beginning. In the next two days, Du Yan had a very relaxed life. Although Gu Weifen was very strict, Su Qian still secretly dated Du Yan when she had time. This made Feng Chao jealous and helpless. He still expected Du Yan to give him I was writing that article, so I was surprisingly polite to Du Yan in the past few days. When the submission day finally arrived on Saturday afternoon, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel a little pity for Feng Chao, who looked smiling on the outside but couldn't help but have a sarcastic look in his eyes. As mentioned before, Du Yan got a rare opportunity to travel to the south, and this time he decided to invite Su Qian to go with him. For Du Yan after waking up, it is not very important whether he must become Li Peizheng's secretary. Having nearly twenty years of experience than others allows him to understand what kind of changes the country will have. He believes that this is enough to be able to Let him and Su Qian live a much better life than before. As for Feng Chao, Du Yan doesn't think he will definitely become a threat to him. Maybe he will soon forget this person in his new life. However, Du Yan's idea was a little simpler. Just when he was preparing for the trip and going to the south with Su Qian to have a good time, after get off work on Monday, Su Qian's mother Gu Weifen suddenly came to visit Du Yan and his parents. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Destiny Changes The first thing Gu Weifen said straight to the point was, "I'm here to tell you that someone introduced my boyfriend to Qianqian, the doctor I mentioned before. Someone also introduced a colleague of yours, that Feng Chao. Don't look at him." Now I work in the cultural center like you. My uncle is a big shot in the county. He might be promoted at some point. For the sake of my family Qianqian, you should stop pestering her. You don¡¯t want her to live with you in the future. It's a tough life." Looking at Gu Weifen's stern and powerful face, Sang Shulan, who had a smile on her face, immediately changed her face because her son was insulted. The captain of the Iron Girl Commando of the People's Commune looked at Gu Weifen's powerful face coldly and said, "When you go back, first ask your daughter who is pestering whom!". Then she ignored Gu Weifen, who was about to start a fight, and turned around and walked into the back room. Du Fei, who stayed behind, simply took away the tea cup in front of Gu Weifen. In Du Fei's heart, although she didn't want to see her brother interacting with Su Qian, if someone looked down on her brother, it would be absolutely intolerable. Gu Weifen obviously did not expect that people from the Du family would be so protective of the calf. Her expression was equally ugly, but just when she was about to warn Du Yan again, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard door. As the half-open courtyard door knocked gently, a shiny head appeared at the door. He first looked into the courtyard, and immediately after seeing Du Yan, a smile appeared on his face: "Xiao Du, you You really live here, I've found the right door." "Director Liu?" Du Yan looked at the director of the cultural center, Liu, with some surprise. The county cultural director who always liked to put on airs suddenly appeared at his door. I vaguely realized something, but I wasn't sure. At this time, Lao Liu had already walked into the yard. When he saw a few people in the yard who seemed to be not peaceful, Lao Liu always had a smile on his face and even asked tentatively: "Xiao Du, I didn't disturb you, did I?" " By this time, Du Yan already knew that what he had been looking forward to had finally come to fruition! Du Yan greeted Lao Liu into the courtyard. Although he didn't like Gu Weifen, who kept staring at him, for Su Qian's sake, he didn't want to be too rude, so he treated Lao Liu as When he looked at Gu Weifen, who looked angry with some confusion, he could only smile in silence. Old Liu obviously didn't care much about Gu Weifen. When he was about to get off work during the day, he suddenly received a call from Tu Xiangdong, the director of the county party committee office, asking Du Yan, the director of the cultural center, to report to the county party committee office on Monday morning. In addition to the surprise, Old Liu also felt There is anger. Speaking of which, although Director Liu is not a big official, he is quite good at figuring out some personnel changes in the county. He is also known as the amateur organization minister as the saying goes. The secretary of the county party committee had just taken office a few days ago. At this time, the office director, who was the chief steward of the county party committee, called and asked a small secretary to report to the county party committee office. He just casually guessed that Lao Liu, who was inseparable from each other, was not interested in Du Yan. It was strange to know how he got into the relationship with the secretary of the county party committee, and he was also annoyed that this guy usually looked honest and honest, but in fact he was a guy who pretended to be a pig and eat the tiger. "However, although he was dissatisfied, Lao Liu did not dare to delay. In the late 1980s, few households installed telephones. Lao Yuan had no choice but to find Du Yan's home address in the work records and make a trip in person. "Xiao Du, Director Tu from the County Party Committee Office called and asked you to report to the County Party Committee Office on Monday morning." Director Liu said while secretly sizing up Du Yan. When he saw that Du Yan didn't seem surprised by the news, At that time, he was even more sure that Xiao Du was indeed a great person. The smile on Director Liu's face was even more sincere. He couldn't help but smile at Du Yan's parents, at Du Fei, and even at Gu Weifen, who didn't seem to get along well with the family. Then before leaving, he smiled for the first time He took the initiative to shake hands with Du Yan, and finally said: "Xiao Du, the future work of the cultural center may depend on your support." After that, he left with satisfaction. Director Liu's sudden visit made the tense atmosphere in the Du family suddenly become a little weird. Gu Weifen looked at Du Yan strangely. If she hadn't decided to go to the Du family to cause trouble, she would have even suspected that Du Yan had hired someone to sing. The double act. But now she doesn¡¯t know what to do. Although she doesn¡¯t know what Du Yan has done, to Gu Weifen, hearing that Du Yan is actually involved with the county party committee office is already a fantasy! She looked at Du Yan hesitantly, and after thinking for a long time without making up her mind about what to do, she finally said "I'll talk about it later" and hurriedly left Du's house. And Du Yan¡¯s parents and Du Fei eagerly questioned Du Yan after Gu Weifen left. Like Gu Weifen, to them, the county committee and county government are so importantIt was far away. Although Du Yan worked at the Cultural Center, he was still out of reach from the county committee. Looking at the anxious eyes of his parents and sister, Du Yan, who had gradually calmed down, just smiled and said casually: "I don't know why you are looking for me. You will know when you go there?" Then, he was full of curiosity in the family Under his gaze, he asked Du Fei to help prepare the dishes and chopsticks for dinner. However, when he was alone, Du Yan couldn't help but clenched his fists and let out a suppressed cheer! Du Yan knew that his fate, and perhaps that of more people, would change from now on. ! On Monday morning, Du Yan arrived at the Pingling County Party Committee Building early. It is said to be called the County Party Committee Building, but it is actually a two-story building built in the 1960s. In the early years, because Pingling wanted to build a coal mine, this two-story building was built for Soviet aid construction experts. Later it became The location of the Pingling County Party Committee and County Government Office. Because of the limited conditions in Pingling, the county committee and county government all work in one building. However, the whole building has an exotic style because of its architectural style. Although it looks old, it still exudes a sense of majesty. Unlike other places, the outside of this power building in Pingling County does not have the walls that are common in other places. It is only a semi-open structure separated from the outside by a few large shrub flower beds. It is quite barrier-free for future generations. The flavor of a government agency. But despite this, when Du Yan stood in front of this two-story building, he still vaguely felt some kind of pressure coming from his face. It was an invisible aura that could make people become cautious and cautious involuntarily. , Du Yan knew that this aura contained a sense of oppression that came from power. ¡°Perhaps I will stay in this building for a long time in the future. When he thought of this, Du Yan felt an urge to try. He knew that since he had chosen to change his destiny, this would be the beginning of his journey. Whether this start would go well or not would depend on today's meeting, which was destined to be anything but simple. Tu Xiangdong, the director of the county party committee office, is in his forties. He is not tall and has neatly combed hair. He is the kind of person who does things in a orderly manner. He can not only deeply understand the leadership's intentions, but also get things done with enthusiasm without showing off too much. people. Tu Xiangdong has been working as the director of the county party committee office for several years. As a person promoted by the old secretary, Tu Xiangdong is a little unsure whether he can become a close confidant of the new secretary. As the director of the county party committee office, Tu Xiangdong is relatively close to the county magistrate Zhou Songlin. This situation has a lot to do with the old secretary. As the predecessor of Li Peizheng, the current County People's Congress Director Xiao Qi is an extremely powerful county party committee secretary. During the time when he was in charge of Pingling, as the county magistrate, Zhou Songlin could be said to be extremely respectful and cautious towards the old secretary. In return, Xiao Qi didn't think too little of Zhou Songlin, at least he regarded Zhou Songlin as his. The secretary and county magistrate can actually urinate into a pot. This is a strange phenomenon not only in Taihua City, but also in the entire Hexi Province. ¡° In this way, Tu Xiangdong, as the chief steward of the county committee promoted by Xiao Qi, naturally has a harmonious relationship with Zhou Songlin. According to the original speculation in the Pingling officialdom, many people believe that after Xiao Qi retires, Zhou Songlin, as the county magistrate, will smoothly take over. However, to people's surprise, the city did not let Zhou Songlin take over as Xiao Qilin recommended before retiring. Whether it was for balance or other reasons, Li Peizheng came to Pingling and became the new county party secretary. From now on To put it bluntly, if Zhou Songlin has no grievances, not to mention that people in the county committee and county government compound do not believe it, even ordinary Pingling people who know a little bit about the inside story will not believe it. In this way, Tu Xiangdong¡¯s status naturally becomes more subtle. Of course he knew that it was inappropriate for him to be the director of the county party committee but have a close relationship with the county magistrate. Because of this, Tu Xiangdong was more cautious. Regarding the candidate for secretary Li Peizheng, he originally wanted to propose several candidates, although among these people It's somewhat mixed with some of his personal stuff, but on the whole it's still relatively fair. However, from Li Peizheng's decision to use the essay method to select secretaries from various agencies, Tu Xiangdong clearly felt that the new secretary seemed to have distrust of the county party committee, or simply put, he did not trust him. This made Tu Xiangdong become sensitive. When Li Peizheng suddenly After deciding to use a clerk from the County Cultural Center as his secretary, Tu Xiangdong immediately realized that no matter what the background of this clerk was, Secretary Li was obviously cultivating a trusted confidant. Therefore, when Du Yan came to the county party committee office, as soon as he revealed his identity, Tu Xiangdong immediately paid attention to this young man. Speaking of which, according to regulations, county party secretaries at the division level cannot be equipped with ** secretariesBut of course this is not a problem for the old agencies that have been in the officialdom for a long time. There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. As a staff member of the Pingling County Party Committee Office, Du Yan¡¯s job is to be the full-time correspondent of the County Party Committee Secretary Li Peizheng, which is the so-called The first secret of Pingling. Tu Xiangdong looked at the young man in front of him seemingly unintentionally. After receiving the notice from Li Peizheng, he immediately asked someone to find Du Yan's file. But of course he found nothing from the files. He had just graduated from college and returned to his hometown. He was assigned to work in the county cultural center. Apart from occasionally writing something in the county magazine, it can be said that there was nothing that attracted people's attention. As for his family situation, it was clear to society. There was no relationship or background worth scrutinizing. Apart from the slightly strange place of adoption, Tu Xiangdong really couldn't find anything worth paying attention to. ¡°However, because we know that this is the first time that Li Peizheng has shown his preference in personnel arrangements, even though he is only a small secretary, it is enough to give people a glimpse of the general intention of the new county party secretary. "Xiao Du, although you have just graduated, you have worked in the county cultural center, so you should already have some work experience. Working in the county committee is different from that in the county cultural center. I hope you can understand the scope of your work and become familiar with the environment as soon as possible. "Serve the leader well." Tu Xiangdong said to Du Yan with a calm but dignified expression. When he found that Du Yan was respectful but calm, and did not have the uneasiness that many young people inevitably have, he felt sorry for Li Peizheng in his heart. There is a trace of deeper doubts about the choice. "Thank you for your concern, Director Tu. I will definitely remember your guidance." Du Yan nodded cautiously and replied. Looking at the calm expression on Tu Xiangdong's face, Du Yan was still puzzled in his heart. If you are still very clear about the personnel changes in Pingling politics because of your experience in the past few years, then whether it was the old secretary period, the Li Peizheng period, or for a long time after that, you have been the director of the County Party Committee Office, Director of the County Party Committee Office Tu Xiangdong was as stable as Mount Tai on this throne, and Du Yan always felt unspeakable doubts. He didn't know what kind of person he must be to be able to hold his one-third of an acre of land so firmly, and be so smooth and considerate even for a person like County Magistrate Zhou Songlin who doesn't have a very broad mind. , can tolerate him. Looking at Tu Xiangdong¡¯s face that always seemed gentle, but never seemed to be able to explore the depths of his heart, Du Yan secretly reminded himself that in the county party committee compound, he must be careful at all times and never make a wrong step because of his carelessness. The office of the County Party Committee Secretary is in the room at the corner of the east wing on the second floor. Coincidentally, the door of this room is opposite to the office of the county magistrate at the corner of the west wing. This is because the special structure of the building avoids some embarrassing situations. At least those below who want to get close to the secretary or county magistrate do not have to worry about being seen by the other side when they knock on the door. But this is not a solution, so it is said that Pingling County has made preparations to build a new government office building. Once completed, the county government will occupy the new building, leaving it entirely to the county party committee departments. After gently knocking on the door twice, he heard a slightly majestic response from inside. Tu Xiangdong opened the dark brown door and walked into the office with Du Yan. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Secretary Xiao Du Unlike some other officials who deliberately dimmed the room in order to create a mysterious and depressing atmosphere, this room has plenty of light. The sunlight falls on the ground through the large windows that follow the European architectural style. A slightly dazzling light was reflected. A floor fan placed in the corner of the room blew the light-colored floor-to-ceiling curtains at the base of the wall slightly. Behind a large black desk, Li Peizheng sat calmly in a chair. When he saw Tu Xiangdong coming in, Li Peizheng He nodded slightly, and then his eyes fell on Du Yan. Unlike the ordinary-looking middle-aged man he saw in the woods behind the mountain before, Li Peizheng, who is now sitting behind his desk, naturally shows a majestic look. When he saw that Du Yan didn't show any surprise when he saw him, Li Peizheng had a new understanding of this young man in his heart. "If Du Yan deliberately showed an unexpected expression after seeing him, even if Li Peizheng would still use him as his secretary, he would definitely have a lower impression of him in his heart. Even if the meeting in the back mountain was really just a coincidence, Li Peizheng did not believe that Ding Bing did not tell Du Yan his identity afterwards. So if Du Yan deliberately shows ignorance after knowing who he is, then in Li Peizheng's mind, this young man is just a clever character at best. Li Peizheng is an ambitious man. Although his career path was relatively steady before, it was not very outstanding. Although the 42-year-old county party committee secretary is considered good in the entire Hexi Province, he does not have any obvious advantages. If he wants to make a difference in Pingling and even continue to improve, then he must seize the time, and even more. Open up the situation in Pingling as soon as possible. At this time, for Li Peizheng, cultivating subordinates he can trust has become a top priority. A secretary who can be trusted and has suitable abilities is exactly the first assistant he needs after officially taking up the post of Pingling County Party Committee Secretary. "Secretary Li, this is Du Yan, the director of the cultural center. He has reported to the county party committee office this morning. Do you have any other instructions?" Tu Xiangdong introduced to Li Peizheng. He didn't know how Li Peizheng and the small director of the cultural center met. , let alone why he suddenly chose such a person with no special background as his secretary, but he also knew that many people could not find any clues from the files. "Thank you, Director Tu." Li Peizheng nodded slightly to Tu Xiangdong. His face did not change much, but when he looked at Du Yan, he showed a gentle smile, "Xiao Du, I didn't expect us to be like this." Will we meet again soon? " Li Peizheng's actions made Tu Xiangdong's heart skip a beat. Although he knew that there was a reason why Li Peizheng suddenly appointed this young man to be his secretary, Tu Xiangdong couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw Li Peizheng's attitude towards Du Yan. , he didn't believe that Li Peizheng, who had been immersed in officialdom for many years, would reveal his likes and dislikes for someone so easily, so in this case, things would be interesting. Seeing Li Peizheng talking to him in front of Tu Xiangdong in a tone that seemed like an acquaintance's, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Of course he knew very well that even if Li Peizheng valued his previous article, he would never simply show his respect for him in front of others. Moreover, although the article was more about Pingling, Although Li Peizheng is so calm when it comes to construction ideas, how can he be so simple as to think that an article is enough to treat him as a person? "Secretary Li, I'm young and inexperienced. I might have been a bad guy before. I just hope I won't disappoint you in the future." Du Yan replied calmly. His words made Tu Xiangdong standing next to him even more confused, but it made the observer Li Peizheng looked at him with a hint of approval in his eyes. Du Yan had obviously vaguely understood what he meant. This answer naturally made Tu Xiangdong think about it, at least that the county party secretary who had just taken office would actually care about having acquaintances in Pingling. From the fact that they know an ordinary cultural center manager, the cadres in Pingling will be unsure of how much the new secretary knows about Pingling. This is enough to cause some people to be cautious when dealing with the new secretary in the future. Naturally, I have some scruples and don't dare to be easily deceived. "Secretary Li, I'm going back first. If anything happens, please ask Xiao Du to tell me." Tu Xiangdong saw that it was almost done and left wisely. Although he was still sitting in the chair, Li Peizheng was more kind to Tu Xiangdong than when he came in. He nodded slightly to Tu Xiangdong. When he saw Du Yan accompanying Tu Xiangdong to the door, he opened the door for him until Tu Xiangdong walked out of the office. Then he closed the door and turned around to walk to his desk. Li Peizheng had a new perspective on this young man who had quickly entered the role of secretary. But at this time, the look on Li Peizheng's face was different from before.He looked at Du Yan who was standing opposite him, and after a while, he motioned for him to sit in the chair opposite the desk. Looking at Du Yan, Li Peizheng pondered for a while and said in a calm voice: "Xiao Du, I have read your article. I want to ask you, do you think your article complies with the essay rules stipulated by the Propaganda Department? "Li Peizheng's question made Du Yan slightly stunned. He did not expect that Li Peizheng would suddenly ask such a question that seemed simple but was actually difficult to answer. More importantly, he knows his own family affairs. Just as Li Peizheng asked him, if strictly speaking, his article obviously does not meet the theme of "praising the old Pingling and looking forward to the new area." Especially in the second half, in order to attract Li Peizheng's attention, he included more ideas about Pingling's future economic construction. Among these things, there are real examples of Pingling being realized later, and there are also Du Yan's based on those many ideas. Some ideas for booking came out of nearly two decades of advanced experience. But in fact, as Ding Bingxian said before, the article had changed from a literary submission to an "economic development outlook." From this point of view, Du Yan's essay was not considered a success. However, Du Yan naturally knew that he could not answer like this, and he immediately understood that Li Peizheng asked him this, not only to test his ability to adapt, but also to explore whether the article was really written by him, and even to investigate. What kind of thoughts did he have to write such an obviously inappropriate article? "Secretary Li, I think this does not conflict with the requirements of the essay. Praising the old Pingling and looking forward to the new area are the basic themes of the essay," Du Yan answered cautiously and respectfully. He knew that he could neither express it at this time. Don¡¯t be too arrogant and show uneasiness just because of a leader¡¯s questioning. ¡°We praise the development and changes of old Pingling for the sake of making the new Pingling even better in the future. The future city will obviously be more beautiful than now, and the living standards of the people in Pingling will also improve.¡± We will definitely be happier than we are now. It is precisely because of this that we must pay attention to the future while affirming the past, so that Pingling will become more beautiful and prosperous. In this case, when we look forward to the new Pingling, we cannot just express emotions from simple imagination. There should be a more detailed and practical plan. Of course, what I have is just some immature and superficial knowledge, which can only be said to be a vision for the future, but I believe that under the correct leadership of Secretary Li, Pingling will have a better future. It will definitely become better. It is precisely because of this that I think my article does not deviate from the topic." Li Peizheng listened quietly to Du Yan's narration, and he did not comment on Du Yan's slightly complimentary answer. Speaking of which, Li Peizheng didn't mind Ding Bingxian's previous introduction, which seemed to be personal information, either intentionally or unintentionally. And although it was just an article, Li Peizheng became interested in this young man precisely because he saw something noteworthy in Du Yan's essay. The most important thing is that Ding Bingxian is not only his classmate, but also one of the few cadres in Pingling County who are not factional. As the editor-in-chief of the county magazine, which is not much better than the Qingshui Yamen of the Cultural Center, Li Peizheng believes that Ding Bingxian The recommended person should still be to his liking. Li Peizheng nodded slightly towards Du Yan. He was relatively satisfied with this meeting. As for the future, it would depend on Du Yan's actual performance. The running-in between the leader and the secretary always takes some time. "Xiao Du, since I chose you, I hope you can fulfill this responsibility. I also hope that you can display your due level and ability in your future work." Li Peizheng picked up the cigarette case on the table and looked at it. As Du Yan quickly picked up the lighter next to him and lit a cigarette for him, Li Peizheng continued, "I think you also know that, like you, I have just arrived at a new job and are not familiar with many situations. In addition, "Although you have no experience working in a government department before, I think you have heard of many situations. It is not easy to do in our current position." When Li Peizheng said this, he carefully observed Du Yan's expression. Although he didn't expect to get Du Yan to show his loyalty to him on the first day, he still had to explain the current situation clearly. As he said, neither Li Peizheng nor Du Yan were in a position where they could do anything right now. An enviable place. Listening to Li Peizheng's words, Du Yan couldn't help but admire him. Li Peizheng's seemingly casual "we" invisibly narrowed the distance between the two. Although they still have to work together in actual work, for a Du Yan For a young man of this age, such a statement is enough to make him tie himself to his leader. However, for Du Yan, even if Li Peizheng did not show his kindness in time, he had already decided to link his fate with Li Peizheng's fate. From the moment he decided to become Li Peizheng's secretary, it can be said that he has been beaten. Li" label.   "Please rest assured, Secretary Li, I will fulfill my duties as a secretary," Du Yan's voice rose slightly, but he did not want to say too much. He knew that the time was not yet "Be careful and keep your mouth shut. " Du Yan's answer made Li Peizheng feel a little satisfied. If Du Yan seemed too enthusiastic or even expressed his loyalty immediately, it would inevitably be lower in Li Peizheng's mind. At least he would lose a lot of points as a young, impetuous and not stable enough. . " And Du Yan's just right answer made Li Peizheng feel that this young man was very steady and cautious. This is one of the keys to being a secretary. As for the future, it depends on whether the two parties are destined to be together. "Let's do it this way. Today you first hand over your previous work and get familiar with the environment here at the county party committee. From tomorrow onwards you will officially come to work for me and let the office take care of your relationship. In addition, I will go there the day after tomorrow. Daqing Township, please prepare." "Do you need to notify Daqing Township in advance?" Du Yan asked softly, he had fully begun to assume the responsibility of secretary at this time. "No need, I've notified them, so I won't be able to see what I want to see." Li Peizheng replied casually. Seeing Du Yan take out a notebook from his pocket and record it quickly, Li Peizheng showed a smile. Du Yan, who came out of Li Peizheng's office, had just walked around the corner when he saw a middle-aged man in his forties standing in the corridor. Seeing Du Yan walking over, a trace of gloom quickly flashed across the middle-aged man's face, but it was very brief. He quickly disappeared, and immediately showed a friendly smile to Du Yan who came over. "Xiao Du, what a coincidence, I was just looking for you." The middle-aged man looked at Du Yan with a smile, looking very friendly, even though both of them knew that they were just because they had given him The county party committee held a meeting in the cultural center to make preparations, and they had two brief contacts. "Hello, Director Wu, I'm just going to report to you." Du Yan said respectfully. According to the regulations that department-level cadres cannot be equipped with secretaries, Du Yan should only be regarded as an ordinary staff member transferred to the county party committee office at this time. Just like in the cultural center, he is just a clerk. As for the minor subjects that are customarily required to mention half a level, there is no trace at this time. But what really makes Du Yan wary is that as a staff member of the county party committee, the person in front of him is his nominal direct superior. Du Yan knew that the news about him becoming Li Peizheng's secretary should have spread by now, but he also knew that some people did not want to see this result. At least Feng Chao hated him to the bone. As for the person in front of him, he happened to be Feng Chao. His uncle, Wu Shenzhen, deputy director of the county party committee office. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 7 Chapter 7 The Faces of All Living Beings in the County Committee Office (Part 1) Wu Shenzheng certainly didn't have a good impression of Du Yan. As the deputy director of the county party committee office, Wu Shenzhong¡¯s life was actually not very comfortable. Although he ranks last among the county committee standing committee members, Tu Xiangdong is still a member of the county committee standing committee at the deputy division level, and because he was previously highly regarded by the old secretary and county magistrate Zhou Songlin, it can be said that Tu Xiangdong is a big mountain in the county committee office to a large extent. As a result, Wu Shenzhong, the deputy director, had a difficult life. No matter in terms of position, circle, or level, Wu Shenzhen, as a deputy section chief, has no way to compete with Tu Xiangdong, who is a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. Because of this, Wu Shenzhen is, as his name suggests, a master of power, almost certain Tu Xiangdong was careful not to make any mistakes, let alone show any dissatisfaction. However, there were also surprises. The arrival of Li Peizheng gave Wu Shenzhen, like everyone else, a glimmer of hope. For Wu Shenzhen, the relationship between Tu Xiangdong and Zhou Songlin was obviously the root cause of Tu Xiangdong's future loss of power, and it was also the reason why he would be eliminated. The key to recruiting Li Peizheng, who had just arrived. He believed that as long as Li Peizheng didn't want to live in obscurity in Pingling, he would definitely not tolerate County Magistrate Zhou Songlin arranging his cronies to be with him. In this way, Tu Xiangdong's situation would become more delicate. Wu Shenzheng didn¡¯t believe that Tu Xiangdong would turn to Li Peizheng so quickly, and even if Tu Xiangdong had this intention, it still depends on whether Li Peizheng is willing to accept it. After all, the relationship between Tu Xiangdong and Zhou Songlin is a thorn between the two people. But even if Li Peizheng wants to pull out this nail around him, it will not be easy. After all, a deputy director-level member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee cannot move at will. In this way, Wu Shenzheng became more convinced that Li Peizheng needed to establish his own circle of influence in Pingling as soon as possible. Because of this consideration, although Wu Shenzhen did not have the opportunity to proactively recommend secretary candidates to Li Peizheng, after learning the inside story of the essay solicitation, he certainly would not give up such a good opportunity and immediately told his nephew Feng Chao. And because he was worried that Feng Chao might not have enough foundation for writing articles, he also specifically reminded his nephew to find a way to get a weighty manuscript, such as the one who had written something in Pingling News and seemed to be quite literary. Du Yan's article is good. In order to allow his nephew to become the secretary of the new secretary, so that he can smoothly get closer to Li Peizheng, Wu Shenzhen did not mind that his nephew used plagiarism to appropriate other people's achievements. However, what Wu Shenzhen never expected was that just when he went to work this morning, he unexpectedly saw an article signed by Lu Yan in the latest issue of Pingling Newsletter, and that article happened to be the same as before. The essay that Feng Chao showed him to read! What¡¯s worse is that just two days before the deadline, the essay had been sent to the County Party Committee Propaganda Department in Feng Chao¡¯s name along with other essays! When he read that article, even though he didn't expect that it was a trap specially set up by Du Yan to deal with Feng Chao, Wu Shenzheng knew that his nephew's future had been ruined by the appearance of this article. At this time, he no longer even hoped that the essay would not be noticed, because on the day of submission, he specially asked Feng Chaozuo to accompany Minister Guo of the county propaganda department to a meal. At the banquet, he pretended not to care. He told Minister Guo that Feng Chao also participated in the essay competition. Wu Shenzheng believed that if Lao Guo couldn't even understand this, then his career in officialdom these years would have been in vain. But it was precisely because Lao Guo understood and Wu Shenzheng also knew that not only was his nephew in trouble this time, but he himself might also be in trouble. As long as Li Peizheng sees those essays and pays a little attention, he can easily know the relationship between the plagiarist and himself. For a new secretary who has just arrived, what better way to attack than to use a deputy director of the office with no backing as the target? What about using it as a better opportunity to establish prestige? If Li Peizheng is still worried about who should burn the first match as a new official, Wu Shenzheng believes that he is undoubtedly the one who handed the match to Li Peizheng. So, looking at Du Yan standing in front of him, Wu Shenzheng didn't even know how to face it. He knew that the Propaganda Department had not yet had time to show those essays to Li Peizheng, and he had heard some rumors from the county committee that Li Peizheng suddenly decided to use Du Yan. Speaking of which, although Li Peizheng wanted to select secretaries through an essay contest, there was no requirement to take this step. Since he decided to use Du Yan on the spur of the moment, the selection for this essay competition was meaningless. This certainly made Wu Shenzhong very annoyed that he had to work for Bai and face trouble. It also made him, like others who had heard the news, secretly speculate on the relationship between Du Yan and Li Peizheng. But at this time, Wu Shenzheng is more concerned about how to find a way to overcome the difficulties at hand. When Wu ShenzhengWhen he said that Li Peizheng had chosen Du Yan as his secretary, the first thing he thought of was that Li Peizheng had discovered the fraud on behalf of his nephew, but then he realized that this might be very small, because if Li Peizheng really knew about it If so, then Li Peizheng only had to pretend to be completely ignorant in advance, and then use the topic to his advantage when selecting a secretary through an essay contest. With solid evidence, what awaited Wu Shenzeng was complete disaster. But now Li Peizheng didn't take this opportunity to knock him down, and he didn't show any intention of taking this opportunity to beat himself up. As a result, Wu Shen's mind began to wander. As an old man who has been with the Pingling Municipal Party Committee for many years, Wu Shenzhong certainly knows that Tu Xiangdong is very close to the county magistrate Zhou Songlin, or even if he is not on Zhou Songlin's side, at least in the eyes of the new secretary, as the county party committee office Director, Tu Xiangdong is too close to the county government. Thinking of this, Wu Shenzhong couldn't help but start to think about it. As the deputy director of the county party committee, he knew that he could not compete with Tu Xiangdong, who was a member of the Standing Committee, but the traces of Zhou Songlin, or the old secretary, were too obvious on Tu Xiangdong. It is bound to make Li Peizheng taboo, which makes Wu Shenzhen seem to see a glimmer of new hope. "Xiao Du, your articles are getting better and better. I also read the article in today's newsletter. You are indeed a talented person in Pingling. Even Secretary Li knew about your literary talent when he first came here. It's amazing. " Wu Shen patted Du Yan on the shoulder, which was more affectionate than to his nephew Feng Chao. He pointed to his office and said casually: "You have time to come over to my place and have a chat? " Look. Looking at Wu Shenzhen's smiling face, Du Yan knew that he must be feeling uneasy at this moment, even if he didn't know what he was thinking. It would be strange if Wu Shenzhen was not anxious at this time, but Du Yan admired him. He was still able to keep his composure at this stage. While thinking about Du Yan, he said: "Director, please don't be polite to me. I'm new here and I don't understand many things. I want to ask you for advice. I'm about to go to your place." Are you going to report in? " Wu Shenzheng is the deputy director of the county committee. In fact, Tu Xiangdong, who is in charge of other tasks as a standing committee member, is actually more responsible for the daily work of the county committee. Du Yan said that reporting to him makes sense. . Du Yan's answer satisfied Wu Shenzhong. Although he didn't know whether Du Yan had seen through Feng Chao's trick when he published the article in "Pingling News", he was eager to embarrass this matter as soon as possible. To settle things, I also had the idea of ??communicating with Du Yan, who had just become the county party committee secretary and was still unfamiliar because he had no foundation. He knew that as Du Yan said he was new here, the effect of showing goodwill at this time would obviously be more beneficial than waiting for Du Yan to gain a firm foothold in the county party committee. "Don't hesitate to ask for advice. If you have any work problems, let's communicate with each other. Xiao Du, I will take you to the office for a walk and get to know the people. From now on, we will play horses and spoons together." Wu Shenzheng said casually. Then he walked towards the office with Du Yan in front of his head. If he hadn't known the truth earlier, Du Yan would have had to admit that Wu Shenzhong did have abilities that others didn't have. Even though it was just a few simple words, people who didn't know what was going on might regard Wu Shenzhong as a cheerful person. , although it is not easy for anyone who can get by in the county committee, but from the appearance, people will never think that Wu Shenzhen is the kind of person who instigates his nephew to plagiarize other people's achievements. Like other places in the country, the personnel structure of the Pingling County Party Committee Office can be described as overstaffed. Although the entire county party committee office is not subdivided into other departments, the specific office occupies two large rooms after opening up the room separation. Therefore, privately, these two offices are also called one department and two departments, but there is no dedicated department. Just the head of the department set up. But despite this, based on the relationship with the leaders, it is inevitable that there are people who are regarded as the so-called "second section chiefs" in the two offices. This phenomenon happened when Wu Shenzhen took Du Yan into the county party committee office It manifests itself. Seeing Wu Shenzheng walk in, a young woman about thirty years old who looked quite gorgeous stood up first. She walked up to Wu Shenzheng two steps earlier and smiled with neat teeth, although she was still respectful. But in Du Yan's view, he said with a sense of contempt: "Director Wu, what can I do for you?" "Xiao Xue, call everyone over, let me introduce you," Wu Shenzheng's face did not show any trace of that young man. There was something strange about the woman's attitude. His voice was slightly louder. It was more like he was telling others directly than letting the woman inform him. Then after seeing the staff from both offices gathering over hearing the sound, Wu Shenzheng coughed and announced in a rather solemn tone, "Let me introduce to you, this is Du Yan. Maybe some comrades know him. It turns out that The director of the County Cultural Center is now Secretary Li¡¯s secretary. I hope everyone can support his work in the future. ¡±   Wu Shen's words caused a brief silence in the office. More than a dozen pairs of eyes involuntarily focused on Du Yan. Although they contained surprises, they were mostly filled with jealousy and indifference. No one expected that the position of first secretary of the county party committee would eventually fall into the hands of a small secretary of the county cultural center. Although the secretary of the county party committee is not qualified to appoint a secretary, Du Yan can actually only be called the correspondent of the county party committee office according to administrative regulations, but people naturally will not be so blind. After a while of silence, a slightly thin middle-aged man with thick eyes appeared. The young man came over first and shook hands with Du Yan: "I don't need to introduce you. I have worked with Du Mi in the past. I hope Du Mi will give you more guidance in the future." "Comrade Lao Yu, I don't dare to take this seriously. You are the senior Comrade, if there are places that I can't reach in the future, I can count on you to give me more advice." Du Yan remembered it after a moment of recollection. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with the middle-aged man. Speaking of which, Du Yan was not alone in the county committee. He didn't even know him, but the years of sudden recollection made him unable to react for a while. This middle-aged man named Lao Yu had been in contact with Du Yan because of previous work on the county committee and the cultural center. Du Yan still remembered that this Lao Yu could be regarded as one of the best writers in the county committee office. "It may be due to bad luck. In Du Yan's memory, even when he finally retired, he never got the treatment of a minor. At the beginning of Lao Yu's speech, the atmosphere that seemed a little cold immediately became lively. People in the office stepped forward to shake hands with Du Yan. No matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone knew that since the final candidate had been decided, , then they have nothing to do. The next thing to do is naturally to try to have a good relationship with the newly minted first secretary of the county party committee in front of them. However, Du Yan soon discovered that among all the people, the woman whom Wu Shenzheng called Xiaoxue did not seem to be in a hurry to flatter him, and from her vague expression, it could be seen that she seemed to be interested in him. He also has some undisguised contempt. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 8 Chapter 8 The Faces of All Living Beings in the County Committee Office (Part 2) Wu Shenzhen seemed to have seen the woman's expression. He coughed again and made a slight introduction gesture to the woman to Du Yan: "Xiao Du, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Xue Xuefen, the head of the secretary's office. He is specifically responsible for checking the documents drafted by the county committee. There will be many opportunities for you to cooperate in work in the future. " "Director Wu, don't say that. Du Ke is the leader. We will need more guidance from Du Ke in the future." Xue Xuefen laughed. , seemed to be a careless sentence, but it made Du Yan frown secretly. Although he didn't know how many people would secretly resent him for not getting the secretary position, Du Yan knew that this woman named Xue Xuefen definitely didn't have good intentions. Her seemingly indifferent words immediately made a difference between herself and other people in the office. There was a gap between them, and Du Yan could even feel that the people who had been enthusiastic before seemed to have suddenly become unfamiliar. "Sister Xue, what you said is difficult for me," Du Yan smiled slightly. He knew that his performance at this time could actually be said to be the first test after becoming Li Peizheng's secretary. Whether he could meet Li Peizheng's requirements was different from that at this time. "I just came here. I can be said to be everyone's junior in terms of work. I also hope that everyone can help me improve my work level. In the future, I will also rely on Sister Xue and everyone's care and help, so that I can be as soon as possible." Complete the tasks assigned by the leader. " Listening to Du Yan's seemingly soft but tough words, Xue Xuefen nodded slightly without comment. Just when Wu Shenzheng was about to say a few words, the phone on Xue Xuefen's desk suddenly rang. Xue Xuefen walked to the desk and picked up the phone. After listening for a while, a slight smile appeared on her face. She first looked back at Wu Shenzheng, and then said in a tone that everyone could hear. : "Secretary Sun, Director Wu is having a meeting with us. I will come over right after the meeting." "Xiao Xue, is this the number of Secretary Sun?" Wu Shenzhong asked immediately, and then he said immediately without waiting for Xue Xuefen's answer. "Since Secretary Sun is looking for you, go quickly and don't delay." "This is not good, we are in a meeting." Xue Xuefen said awkwardly while holding the phone. "Secretary Sun's work must be very important. It will be bad if it is delayed. There is nothing important here." Wu Shen walked to the desk in a few steps. His voice sounded loud. It was obvious that he wanted to let The person on the other end of the phone heard. "Then I'll go to Secretary Sun first. Secretary Sun, I'll be right over." After saying something on the phone, Xue Xuefen only signaled to Wu Shen, then walked past Du Yan and walked out of the office. However, Xue Xuefen didn't notice that Du Yan, who had always had a calm expression, inadvertently flashed a smile of realization on his face after hearing her call. If you haven¡¯t thought about who this woman is before, when Xue Xuefen answered the call from Secretary Sun with a show-off, Du Yan had already remembered the origin of this woman. And what he could remember about this woman was inseparable from Secretary Sun. Du Yan knew that if his guess was correct, Secretary Sun on the other side of the phone should be Sun Dewen, deputy secretary of the Pingling County Party Committee. And this Xue Xuefen was not only Sun Dewen's mistress, but also soon became Pingling, and even the entire Taihua The city is bustling with hustle and bustle, and Sun Dewen is destined to be the culprit who loses his reputation! Wu Shenzheng, who originally wanted to say a few more words, lost interest due to Xue Xuefen's interference. After he waved the office staff to disperse, he took Du Yan to the Human Resources Department to make a simple report. Although Du Yan's personnel relations could not be handled until later, this report did not actually require Wu Shenzheng to handle it personally, but Wu Shenzheng's original intention was not this. So after walking around casually, Wu Shenzheng raised his hand and looked at his watch: "You have just started working and are busy. If there is anything handed over from Secretary Li that you need my help with, just say it. The work of the county committee Generally speaking, it¡¯s not difficult to get started, so let¡¯s sit down at Liyuju in the evening, and I¡¯ll introduce you to the working environment.¡± ¡°How can I get the director to treat me,¡± Wu Shenzhong said with a smile. Face, Du Yan always felt as if he was looking at a smiling tiger, and as far as he knew, Wu Shenzhong was indeed a smiling tiger. At least he didn't believe that Feng Chao's intention of plagiarizing his essay had nothing to do with Wu Shenzhong, but at this time Du Yanzhong Yan did not want to make it clear. If he was still the young and arrogant young man who couldn't hold back his breath, maybe Du Yan couldn't bear it. But after more than 20 years of life training, Du Yan already knew when to bear it. Even when should concessions be made, at least not yet. Especially after Wu Shenzhong took him for a walk, Du Yan realized that Wu Shenzhong, in addition to trying to get rid of the trouble of essay writing, also seemed to have the intention to win over, which made Du Yan think more. idea.   "I'll treat Liyuju tonight, and I'll have to ask Director Wu for more advice then." Because they were in the corridor of the office building, Wu Shenzheng didn't continue to argue with Du Yan over who to treat, and agreed on a time at noon. After that, he just left. Returning to the office of the First Secretary Section again, Du Yan heard the discussion coming from inside before he even entered the door. "Old Yu, don't you know this Du Da Mi? Tell me what he is like?" A slightly shrill voice came from inside, and Du Yan recognized that the voice was Qian Weihong. A middle-aged woman with characteristics of the times: "I heard that Secretary Li directly named him. Tell me about his background. Who in the family is famous?" Hearing this derogatory metaphor, a burst of laughter burst out in the office. . "Old Qian, don't talk so rudely," Old Yu said, "Xiao Du is a good young man. We have worked with him in the past on some exchanges between our county party committee and the cultural center. His young people are very practical and know how to respect the elders. Comrade, you are not the kind of slick guy who only knows how to work for the camp. " "Hey, I can't tell, Lao Yu. They say you are an honest person, why are you so eager to take pictures of Du Yibi as soon as he takes office? Don't be dazzled. "Hit the horse's leg." Another young voice rang out, and Du Yan recognized that it was also a clerk from the secretarial department whom Wu Shenzhen had just introduced. Listening to his sour tone, he remembered that he was better than others just now. Du Yan could only sigh secretly at the complexity of people's hearts. "Xiao Liu is right," a voice that made Du Yan's heart moved also added in. He recognized that it was Xue Xuefen, "He is so proud now, maybe he will be unlucky one day. Don't talk about him, it's the guy behind him, It¡¯s not certain whether the chair of the County Party Committee Secretary is stable or not.¡± People seemed to be walking away intentionally or unintentionally. When Du Yan heard that the room was almost quiet, Du Yan walked towards the office with a slightly heavier pace. Seeing Du Yan enter the room, several people in the room couldn't help but stand up, but probably thinking of Xiao Liu's sarcasm to Lao Yu and Xue Xuefen's words before, they couldn't help but stop and just bent over like this. Standing half-way up, he showed an unnatural smile to Du Yan. Du Yan smiled casually at the people passing by. He walked to Lao Yu's desk in a few steps and said, "Lao Yu, I have something to trouble you with." "What can I do Du Mi?" Lao Yu slightly said After being stunned, he raised his head and asked. Maybe Xue Xuefen's words also affected him. At this time, Lao Yu looked at Du Yan with a slightly dazed look in his eyes. "Don't call me that, I can't afford it as a junior," Du Yan said with a smile. I know that if I want to gain a firm foothold in the county party committee office, I must not only be Li Peizheng's secretary, but also establish enough relationships in this secretary department. This is both for myself and for Li Peizheng. "I want to get a copy of our county party committee There is also the address book of the leaders of the county ** and some other information that I need to know about the leaders. I don¡¯t know what procedures need to be completed. I am familiar with you in the county party committee compound. I have no choice but to ask for your help and guidance. "Hearing Du Yan's words, Old Yu slowly raised his head and looked at the young man standing in front of him through the thick glasses. As an old agency, Lao Yu could certainly hear the possible meaning behind Du Yan's seemingly innocuous words. At least he knew that Du Yan said these words in front of a room full of people, which was basically asking him to be a took a stand. Lao Yu looked at Du Yan in surprise, and at the same time he was not at all calm. He did not expect that Du Yan would suddenly show such a strong attitude on the first day of his arrival, and he was also hesitant about what choice to make for himself. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of an old agency like myself, Lao Yu, who is almost in his fifties but not yet in his early twenties, if he had not had great opportunities, he might at best be able to get the treatment of a minor subject after retirement. So, will the young man in front of me now who is old enough to be his son be the one he has been waiting for for many years? Or as Xue Xuefen said, maybe there won't be a good result. If that happens, I will be finished after being cautious in the agency for so many years. Just for a moment, Du Yan noticed that the veins on Lao Yu's forehead jumped several times. Just when he was disappointed and thought that Lao Yu was trying to find an excuse to shirk it, Lao Yu suddenly stood up and arranged the things on the table. He took the opportunity to calm down his emotions, and then said: "Is this what we should do? It is our duty to work for the leaders, and you are the first secretary of the county party committee. It is everyone's duty to help you do your job well. Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you through the procedures.¡± As he said that, Lao Yu showed a sincere smile and walked out of the office. Looking at Lao Yu¡¯s back, Du Yan smiled inadvertently.?Although Lao Yu was naughty and pushed the cooperation work to the need of leadership, he was already quite satisfied with Lao Yu's performance. Du Yan knew that for an old agency like Lao Yu who had been mixed up like a loach in the unit, it would not be as simple as a few words to tell the truth. If he, or Li Peizheng, could not stand firm in Pingling Heel, many people like Lao Yu will not really express their attitude clearly. Therefore, the road ahead is still long and difficult. Throughout the morning, Du Yan was busy with his work relationship. Although Li Peizheng instructed him to start work the next day, he knew that he had to get started as soon as possible, and because his work relationship was still at the cultural center, he had to help Lao Yu After collecting all the necessary information for a secretary, he simply cleared the table in the secretary's room outside Li Peizheng's office, and immediately left the county party committee building and walked towards the cultural center. Although the time was short, after returning to the cultural center, Du Yan guessed that the news that he had become Li Peizheng's secretary should have spread here. He looked at the faces of his colleagues in the county cultural center with envy and jealousy, and some even had a look of envy and jealousy on their faces. Du Yan couldn't help but secretly sigh at the affectionate expression on his face. When he met Feng Chao, who happened to be walking out of the office, Du Yan let out a sigh of relief when he saw the evasive look on Feng Chao's face that was mixed with anger, jealousy and vague uneasiness. This is not because Du Yan is a villain. The memories of his two lives have made him have an extremely bad impression of Feng Chao. In addition to the memory of Feng Chao's unreasonable entanglement with Su Qian and the secret destruction of their relationship, Du Yan also I can't forget the evil deeds Feng Chao did in his previous life after he gained power. Ding Hongwei didn't know when he rushed to Du Yan's side. Looking at Feng Chao who showed hatred but hurriedly avoided it, Ding Hongwei curled his lips without concealing it, then strangled Du Yan's neck and lowered his voice excitedly. He shouted: "I can't tell you are just lucky. You have become a big shot in Pingling County all of a sudden. Why don't you treat me to dinner tonight?" Seeing Ding Hongwei's excited face, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. of. He knew that Ding Bingxian had deliberately led him and Ding Hongwei to Houshan Shulin to meet Li Peizheng. Naturally, he had selfish motives and wanted to show his son in front of the new county party secretary. However, because of this, Du Yan had more feelings for Ding Bingxian. A sense of gratitude. After all, one more person at that time meant more competition. Even Ding Bing knew that Ding Hongwei¡¯s character was not very suitable for an official career. He didn¡¯t have much hope in showing up in front of Li Peizheng, but at least Ding Bingxian He was not deprived of this minimum opportunity, which made Du Yan take a look at Ding Bingxian's magnanimity. "Not at night, someone is treating me" Du Yan looked at Feng Chao who seemed to be sizing him up in the corridor in the distance. He couldn't help but have a smile on his lips. He didn't know if Feng Chao was treating him. Uncle, what kind of expression would it look like? Just when Du Yan was about to continue speaking, suddenly, along with the shrill sound of brakes with echoes, a burst of shouting rang out from the street outside the cultural center! The sudden sound outside couldn't help but attract Lu Yan's attention, because the county cultural center was built on the south side of Pingling's main street, close to a spontaneously formed market. It was considered a lively place, and due to size restrictions, the cultural center did not have walls. , they faced the street when they went out. When they followed the sound to the main entrance, they saw a circle of people gathered on the street. In the middle of the crowd, a brand-new Santana car parked diagonally on the street. In front of the car, a man was lying on the ground holding his right calf and shouting. Although he couldn't see what was going on in the car because someone was blocking it, he looked at it. It was obviously a car accident. "Hey! Hey! It hurts so much!" The man who fell in front of the car hugged his calf and lay on the ground, rolling and shouting. The scream sounded indescribably terrifying. He fell on the bicycle next to him and fell down. Baskets of miscellaneous vegetables were scattered all over the floor. "Hey, look, there's a lot of excitement!" Ding Hongwei, who ran out of the door first, took a look outside and immediately called out to Lu Yan behind him. Lu Yan also came out of the cultural center and stood on the high steps of the cultural center with Ding Hongwei, looking down. He saw that the door behind the Santana was always closed, and the dark laser on the car window was not very popular at this time. The film blocks the view of people outside. While the man lying in front of the car continued to shout and the people around him were talking about it, Santana's passenger door suddenly opened. To the surprise of people around, what came out of the car was a young woman wearing plain business attire. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Porcelain Although the weather was so hot that it seemed to burn off a layer of people's skin, the young woman's clothes still looked very formal. From Du Yan's point of view, besides the professional skirt, it could also make her a little cooler. Looking at her The collar and cuffs were neatly tied, and he couldn't help but pay a little attention to the vague figure behind Santana when he opened the door. Although this woman who looks like a secretary is very beautiful, judging from the fact that this woman is still dressed strictly in such hot weather, and she still looks calm in the face of such emergencies, it seems that she is not just that kind of person. Just a simple vase for decoration. After the young woman got out of the car, she did not immediately pay attention to the man lying in front of the car. Instead, she looked around first. Then she slowly walked up to the man, lowered her head slightly, and looked at him questioningly: " Are you okay?" The woman's words obviously angered the man who was hit. He half sat up while covering his legs, and shouted reluctantly: "You hit me and asked me if I was okay. Are you okay after being hit? Send me to the hospital quickly! " "Pingling is like other places, the locals naturally have bad habits of xenophobia and bullying. Seeing that Santana's photo is not from Pingling but from Taihua City, people naturally They instinctively gravitate towards the locals. Suddenly, someone among the people who were watching the excitement started to shout loudly, which caused other people to shout together. It seemed that the posture was very promising for the man who was hit. "Liu Laosi has money for drinks this time." Ding Hongwei, who was standing far behind, chuckled. Ding Hongwei and Du Yan both knew the man who fell in front of the car. This man named Liu Laosi could be said to be the most troublesome ruffian in the west market of Pingling County. Unlike those real gangsters, this person is a typical dog-skin plaster, which disgusts anyone who puts it on him. Liu Laosi was doing pretty well at first. In the early years, he was almost one of the first few people in Pingling to start a self-employed business. But after making some money, he began to fail to learn well. In addition to eating and drinking, his bad habit of gambling not only made him He lost all his savings over the years, and in the end even his wife and children left him. From then on, Liu Laosi got into the business of touching porcelain, but his eyes were very sharp and he knew who could touch and who could not touch. He tried not to provoke the local Liu Laosi, but he was not so polite to foreign cars. Well, relying on the mentality that outsiders do not want to cause trouble, Liu Laosi specializes in tricking cars with foreign license plates in the West Market, and he is not alone in doing this. Those who are following the crowd in the crowd, That's his accomplice. Faced with this situation, the vast majority of out-of-town car owners chose to lose money to avoid disaster, and even if they were popular, they would not call the police. However, Liu Laosi and the police station in Guanxi Market had already become very familiar with each other, and even called some police officers barbaric. If you are familiar with the situation, even if the police come, the result will not be beneficial to the out-of-towners. This is one of the reasons why out-of-town car owners often end up admitting that they are unlucky. But this time, it seems that the trick of Liu Laosi and his accomplices was not very successful for a while. At least the young woman was not worried about the situation in front of her. As for the person sitting in the back seat of the car, he did not even show his face. . "Our car wasn't going fast, and you suddenly rushed over from the side," the woman, still slightly bent over, said to Liu Laosi, who was lying half in the front of the car. "Everyone has seen this." "You mean I'm blackmailing you? Are you? Listen, everyone, does this make sense? I made them collide like this, and they not only refused to admit it, but also said that I was blackmailing them." Liu Laosi shouted angrily. "Then call the police," the young woman slowly straightened up. She looked at Liu Laosi coldly for a while and said calmly, "No one can be held responsible." Liu Laosi obviously did not expect this woman. Hui suddenly changed his face. He was stunned and immediately shouted louder: "Do you think you can escape by calling the police, and you are still justified in hitting someone? Can our Pingling police listen to you foreigners?" Mr. Liu Si's shouts immediately received responses from his accomplices around him. They stood in the crowd and shouted and instigated. The people around who were watching the excitement also followed suit, not knowing whether it was because of the hot weather or because they wanted to see the young woman's frightened look. He kept shouting. Looking at this scene, Du Yan couldn't help but frown slightly. If it was in his previous life or if he was still just a manager of the cultural center, Du Yan would naturally not meddle in other people's business. However, with the different status, Du Yan's thoughts began to change. , now he felt that the behavior of people like Liu Laosi had obviously become a representative of Pingling's bad habits. Especially looking at the silent back seat of the Santana, Du Yan had a vague feeling that these outsiders did not seem to be simple. "Folks, don't let these outsiders run away. They hit people and are so violent. Isn't it just because they have a few bad money? This is still a world of corruption. There is always room for reasoning!" Liu Laosi sat in front of the car. Keep looking at the people around you, watching his accomplices making noises and shouting together, he couldn't help but secretly look at the woman who stopped talking after calling the police. Although this woman was different from the other foreigners he blackmailed, he didn't Don't worry, because he has looked carefully before. Although this Santana can be said to be a very high-end domestic car at the time, it only has an ordinary license plate. Liu Laosi is still very lively in this regard. "What's going on? What happened here?" A voice suddenly sounded from inside and outside the crowd. Surprisingly, unlike those who never expected the police to arrive in time after calling the police, a policeman arrived in time at this time, which was rare. on site. Seeing the policeman, Liu Laosi almost laughed out loud, while Du Yan, who was standing outside the crowd watching the scene from a distance, also sneered secretly. "What happened here?" the policeman asked loudly, but his eyes only looked at Liu Laosi, obviously trying to get him to speak. Seeing the hint from the police, Liu Laosi immediately shouted and complained: "Comrade, I went home from shopping for groceries and was riding a bicycle on the roadside, but this car suddenly rushed over and hit me. Come on, they didn¡¯t admit they hit someone, and they said I extorted money from them. Are there any such unreasonable people in the world?¡± ¡°Oh, then this is a traffic accident,¡± the policeman¡¯s expression changed. He first glanced at Santana's license plate, and after confirming that it was just an ordinary license plate from Taihua City, his voice became more stern, "First protect the scene of the accident. The driver who caused the accident handed over the car keys, and everyone in the car got out and went to the police station with me. "The policeman's words made the young woman's calm face immediately turn red. She glanced back at the car intentionally or unintentionally, then stared at the policeman angrily and asked, "Are you a traffic policeman?" "I am? "Police from the West Market Police Station," the policeman said loudly, "Come to the police station with me and ask everyone in the car to get out. Why are you hiding in the car on a hot day?" The policeman was obviously very annoyed by the woman's questioning of him. . "Since you are not a traffic policeman, how do you have the right to determine that this is a traffic accident? Do you know that this is a violation of regulations?" the woman asked angrily. The woman's words made the policeman slightly stunned. Speaking of which, in a county like Pingling, the identity of the police itself represented the power and status that many ordinary people were afraid of. Although these people seemed to be from Taihua City, they were out and about. The vast majority of people just want peace, and they will not easily conflict with personnel from local powerful departments. However, the woman's words and behavior made the policeman begin to feel that these outsiders seemed difficult to deal with. Although he had received some benefits from Liu Laosi, it was not enough for him to stand up for Liu Laosi. . But thinking about the license plate he saw before, he thought that he would not be so unlucky that he just kicked the iron plate. What's more, in addition to Liu Laosi's private filial piety, he also hoped to get some profit from these outsiders. Thinking of this, the face of the policeman who was still a little hesitant became stern: "You hit someone and refused to obey the punishment. You have a bad attitude. Just because of this, I can arrest you all. Believe it or not, let the people in the car Come out for investigation, and hand over your ID cards. I think you are acting suspiciously, and you need to go to the police station to explain the situation." A trace of anger suddenly appeared on the young woman's face. Just as she was about to speak again, a voice suddenly sounded. : "I can testify that this is an act of blackmail." Several people looked over in shock and saw two young people walking through the crowd. The policeman looked at Du Yan who was walking in front and asked in a stiff tone: " What do you do? What evidence do you have that confirms that the person who was hit is blackmailing? " Listening to the police insisting that he was the one causing the accident, Du Yan was already sure that there was some kind of collusion between the policeman and Liu Laosi. In fact, this kind of behavior is common in many places. Thinking of the famous fishing law enforcement in later generations, it is not surprising that Liu Laosi used porcelain to extort money, and then the police took the opportunity to blackmail the victim. Looking at the policeman, Du Yan frowned slightly. No matter who was sitting in the car, what happened in front of him was enough to give these outsiders a bad impression of Pingling, and it made Du Yan really What he is concerned about is whether this behavior is just an isolated phenomenon, or whether it is the same for the entire Pingling public security system. If he could not care about these phenomena at all before, now as Li Peizheng's secretary, he has the responsibility to pay attention to these phenomena. Provide reliable advice and reference to Li Peizheng when necessary. "Comrade, jumping to conclusions easily without conducting an investigation is not what a qualified police officer should do. Moreover, your rough style will affect the reputation of the people's police. I think your superiors will not educate you in this way. I won't even allow your kind of destruction.?The behavior of our Pingling image. " Du Yan said coldly that in his opinion, the policeman in front of him was no different from Liu Laosi and others, but he also knew that these words should not come out of his own mouth, and he also wanted to borrow He wanted to see how the West Market Police Station would deal with this kind of thing, because he vaguely remembered that the director of the County Public Security Bureau at this time, Liu Zhihui, seemed to be relatively close to the county magistrate Zhou Songlin, which made Du Yan nervous. A thought flashed through his mind. Du Yan's words made the policeman hesitate. Although the general quality of the police at this time was not high, he could tell from Du Yan's tone that he was somewhat different from ordinary people. The official smell made him hesitate, but at this time the young woman had already walked to the car and whispered something to the slightly lowered window in the back seat. At this moment, a siren sounded in the distance. Nearby, with the piercing scream of the siren, a police jeep quickly drove outside the crowd. A head with a short cut that was quite popular at this time poked out from the passenger door of the police car. The loudspeaker in the man's hand also issued a piercing cry: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Don't gather together to cause trouble! ¡± The people around who were watching the fun immediately dispersed. In China, "gathering a crowd to cause trouble" is very sensitive. If you are not careful, the original small matter may become infinitely large. Although the excitement is beautiful, people still try their best to Hiding far away, the people standing in the middle of the road were very conspicuous. "Ban Cun Tou" got out of the police car and walked towards the policeman. Because of the hot weather, the collar of his police uniform was open, and he was holding a loudspeaker in one hand. He was holding a loudspeaker and a pair of handcuffs in his other hand. The handcuffs shone dazzlingly in the sun, making people around him even more frightened. Behind him, a policeman who looked slightly younger followed. Behind. ¡°What¡¯s going on, so many people gathering in the street? Ban Buntou asked in a stern tone. At the same time, his eyes glanced at Santana's license plate intentionally or unintentionally. Whether he can perform his duties as a police officer is secondary. In society, looking at people's origins is the only way for them to do things. " "Director, these people hit someone in a car accident and refused to obey the investigation," the previous policeman answered immediately, and set the tone as soon as he opened his mouth. Although he was a little worried about the origins of these people, he also knew that he must not let it go at this time. These people had a chance to talk. Besides, he knew that Liu Laosi had also stuffed the director's pockets with benefits. When he saw the director coming, he naturally felt relieved. "The other two people are obstructing our law enforcement, and they also used Speak for those people and openly slander our police. " Seeing the policeman pointing at him and complaining to "Ban Cun Tou", Du Yan couldn't help but want to laugh. He could tell from the pride that flashed across Liu Laosi's face after "Ban Cun Tou" appeared that this director was also related to them. What relationship does it have, but this makes Du Yan feel that he has grasped a certain key. Others do not know Li Peizheng's habits, but Du Yan has a very clear understanding of Li Peizheng's character from Ding Bingxian. Come on, the newly appointed secretary of the county party committee should be more cautious. Even if he wants to burn three fires, he should do it after he has established a firm foothold. But Du Yan knows that this kind of inertial thinking will not work for Li Peizheng. The important thing is, Li Peizheng does have a basis that others don't know. It is precisely because of this that Du Yan is confident that he will face this kind of thing after he just became Li Peizheng's secretary, because he knows that as long as he handles things properly, this seems to be a problem for him as a leader. The secretary's slightly flamboyant matter may be an opportunity to help Li Peizheng quickly open up the situation in Pingling and establish his image. "Ban Cun Tou"'s originally gloomy face immediately became even more ugly, and he raised his hands to Du Yan. The handcuffs inside made a clattering sound, and he said in a fierce tone: "You obstruct law enforcement and openly slander the police. Do you know the nature of this? Believe it or not, I will handcuff you right now? " "Are you the police station chief? " Du Yan looked at "Ban Cun Tou" coldly. Although he was not very familiar with the police station in the West Market in his memory, he also knew that the police there had a very bad reputation. Not only did they fail to maintain the security of the area, , but they got into fierce fights with some local gangsters. Scoundrels like Liu Laosi openly called some police officers "Do you know that it is illegal to use police weapons casually before investigating the matter clearly?" " "Hey, I'm pretty good at writing," "Ban Cun Tou" laughed sarcastically at first, and then suddenly his face changed, "Boy, you don't know how high the sky is. I'm going to handcuff you today! "Said Ban Cun Tou, shaking the handcuffs in his hands and walked towards Du Yan. "Stop! "A deep voice came from the car, and as the rear door opened, a man slowly walked out of Santana. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 10 Chapter 10 is a bit lively This is a young man with a stocky build, about 26 years old. The hem of a loose light blue short-sleeved shirt is casually placed outside, paired with a pair of slightly white jeans, and his short hair makes him look He looked quite sunny, but his face was very gloomy at this time. When he spoke, he seemed to have a naturally formed majesty, which made people feel like they were forced to surrender to him. "Ban Cun Tou" was obviously shocked by the scolding at first. He turned his head and blinked at the young man. But then his face showed anger, he raised the handcuffs in his hand and cursed in his mouth, while walking towards the young man, but as the driver's door opened, a man wearing a The strong man in a dark green short-sleeved T-shirt got out of the car. He stood in front of Ban Cun Tou without hesitation, and stared at Ban Cun Tou's face with a pair of slightly smaller but shining eyes. "What do you want to do? What do you want to do?" Ban Cuntou took a step back. He yelled loudly while looking warily at the big man in front of him who seemed to be about to pounce at any time. He saw that this man's strong figure was exposed. With his muscular arms, Ban Tou touched his crotch without knowing anything. When he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten his baton in the car, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Lao Chai," the young man shouted to his driver in a low voice, and then said, "Since it's work, of course we have to cooperate with you police. Should we go to the police station now?" He was a little unsure when he heard this. When the young man seemed to give in, he secretly let out a breath, but he also felt vaguely uneasy. Although the license plate of the car was very ordinary, the aura of the young man made him feel that the other person might not be a simple person. "Well, it's best if you can cooperate with the investigation," "Banbuntou" said with a deliberate laugh. He winked at the previous policeman, "You take the injured client to the car, and we'll go back together." In the police station." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the police car as if he had forgotten Du Yan. "We will go to the police station with you to bear witness." Du Yan, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke. "It's not your fault, why are you meddling in it," Ban Cuntou said angrily. In his opinion, as long as he returned to the police station, these outsiders would naturally follow his own rules, so of course he didn't want anyone to make trouble among them. "Do whatever you have to do." If you don't behave honestly, I will take you back and lock you up for a few days. Believe it or not," Du Yan frowned slightly and wanted to say something else, but the young man waved his hand to him easily: "It's okay, brother, don't worry. Thank you for your help. I'll be there for you if you have the chance." Later." After saying that, he smiled at Du Yan, turned around and got into the car with the young woman, and followed the police car towards the police station. Watching the two cars go away, Ding Hongwei took a breath. He didn't expect that Du Yan would suddenly take care of this matter. Ding Hongwei is not keen on officialdom, but it does not mean that he is stupid. On the contrary, sometimes his little cleverness gives his father, Ding Bingxian, a headache. "Why are you meddling in these nosy things? I wonder how many people are staring at you now. You just became Secretary Li's secretary today. If you are really arrested by the police and taken to the police station, what will Secretary Li think of you." Ding Hongwei said with some annoyance. Du Yan said, looking at the back of the car in the distance and thinking slightly. "Just watch, things are not that simple. Maybe this time the West Market Police Station will really encounter difficulties." Seeing Ding Hongwei's puzzled look, Du Yan had a faint smile on his lips. "Did you pay attention to the clothes that man was wearing? His shirt is enough for your salary for a year and a half." "Just kidding, why are the clothes so expensive?" Ding Hongwei asked in disbelief. "Armani." Du Yan smiled softly and said a name that was still strange to Chinese people at that time. But then he couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Speaking of it, Pingling County is really not an eye-catching place. It has neither historical sites nor unique resources. If it weren't for the construction of the Third Line, several people moved from Taihua City and other cities. Among the big factories, Pingling can even be said to be completely poor. This made him feel quite puzzled by the appearance of the young man. Due to its geographical location, Pingling was not the only way for outsiders to pass by, so naturally these outsiders came to Pingling specifically, but once At that time, Du Yan really couldn't think of what these people were doing in Pingling, a place with inconvenient transportation and nothing worthy of attention. But when he thought about the inconvenience of transportation, an idea suddenly flashed through Du Yan's mind. Although the idea was fleeting, he immediately held on to it. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a faint excitement, because he realized that maybe a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity The opportunity is right in front of you. In Du Yan¡¯s memory, the early Pingling had a place in Taihua and even Hexi Province. In addition to local peculiarities?Some coal mines with considerable reserves, and more importantly, the large third-tier industrial base established in Pingling and other places due to national decisions decades ago, make Pingling's industrial level considered impressive in Hexi Province. It¡¯s just that with the changes of the times, especially the unfavorable geographical environment and inconvenient transportation, Pingling¡¯s competitiveness has become smaller and smaller. Du Yan remembered that in the early 1990s, the country began to launch the inter-provincial economic bridge project, that is, by building a large number of high-grade highways on the inter-provincial borders of each province and connecting them with the highway networks of neighboring provinces, forming a huge transportation network to improve overall transportation. Ability reaches a new level. With the launch of this project, some counties and cities that were originally in a bad situation have taken advantage of the express train of this cross-provincial economic bridge to develop. And with the convenience of transportation, land prices in some areas have begun to spring up like mushrooms after a rain, full of vitality and soaring upwards. . However, at this time, this project, which will have a profound impact on Pingling in the future, should only be a letter of intent at the table of some senior leaders. Most people should have never heard of it, but of course this will not trouble those who really have the background. people. ¡° Moreover, it is these few people who have mastered information that others cannot master. They use their monopoly on information to take action in advance and reap the full benefits. What makes Du Yan excited is that he remembers very clearly that Pingling in later generations missed this rare opportunity because the Pingling County Party Committee misjudged the situation at that time, and also because Li Peizheng had just taken charge of Pingling and failed to fully control the overall situation. Pingling County failed to get ahead of other counties and cities in time to get this economic bridge project settled in Pingling. By the time it woke up, it was already too late. The arrival of these foreigners who suddenly appeared in Pingling reminded Du Yan of this crucial matter for Pingling in the future. At the same time, Du Yan couldn't help but pay more attention to the origins of these people. ¡°Perhaps he was right on target when he casually mentioned that these people have a lot of backgrounds. The West Market Police Station may have encountered a tough problem this time. In fact, as Du Yan had guessed, just as he had just returned to the county party committee and had not had time to continue sorting out the things on his desk outside the secretary's office, there was silence after a phone ringing in the office. The door suddenly opened, and Li Peizheng walked out of it with a serious expression. Seeing Du Yan who stood up immediately and waited for his instructions, Li Peizheng nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice: "Xiao Du, call Director Liu of the Public Security Bureau and ask him to come to my place immediately." Looking at the heavy expression on Li Peizheng's face, Du Yan couldn't help but secretly wonder, is that job really coming? Du Yan immediately opened the address book he had just received from the county party committee office, then picked up the phone and dialed the office of the director of the county public security bureau. The ringing rang for a long time. When Du Yan wanted to change the number of another deputy director in his address book, the call was connected. The shouts and noises coming from the phone made Du Yan wonder if he had dialed the wrong number, or if the person who answered the phone was in a busy place, but he quickly remembered that mobile phones had not yet been launched at this time. , when he confirmed that the number displayed on the landline was indeed the office number of the Director of the County Public Security Bureau, he asked calmly: "Is this the office of Director Liu of the County Public Security Bureau?" "Hey, who is it!" A voice sounded a little annoyed. Du Yan could even imagine the impatient look on the caller's face. "Hello, I am Du Yan, secretary of Secretary Li of the County Party Committee. Director Liu, please take the call." Du Yan reported his name to the other party in a calm voice. "Secretary Li of the County Party Committee? Is there a secretary named Li in the County Party Committee?" The person on the other side of the phone didn't seem to respond for a while and muttered to the person next to him. But then a low and suppressed shout came from the messy voice: "Whose phone number? County Party Committee Secretary Li's? Give it to me quickly!" Du Yan seemed to hear a panic on the other side of the phone, and the originally noisy voice It immediately became quiet, and then a loud voice came from the phone soon: "Hello, I am Liu Zhihui, director of the County Public Security Bureau, who are you?" "Hello, Director Liu, I am Du Yan, secretary of Secretary Li of the county party committee. ," Du Yan's voice was still calm and polite. He knew that as a secretary who had just taken office at this time, he and Li Peizheng, the county party committee secretary who had also just taken office, had to be careful and not to be looked down upon or looked down upon. If any clues fall into the hands of others, "Director Liu, do you have time now? Secretary Li, please come to the county committee," "Okay, okay, I'll be there soon. Please pass the message, Du Ke." It was passed on the phone. Du Yan laughed heartily and listened to the busy tone on the phone. He held the phone and thought for a while, then hung up the phone gently. Director of Pingling Public Security Bureau??Liu Zhihui, but people call him Liu Laofang. After being discharged from the army, he worked as a police station chief in Pingling, and now he has become the police chief of Pingling County. Liu Laofei is quite satisfied with his small future. According to Liu Laofei's own vision, when he retires, he will be able to enjoy the salary of a deputy director of the municipal bureau. If the opportunity is good, he might even be able to live the life of a director of the municipal bureau. The new secretary is here, but Liu Laofei is not too worried. Although he, the old secretary and County Magistrate Zhou didn't go far before, because they are in a relatively stable public security system, Liu Laofei believes that the new secretary is also good for him. You have to be courteous. As for whether you want to join the new secretary in the future, it depends on whether this person named Li Peizheng is on the right path. However, for the new secretary who was dealing with him for the first time, Liu Laofei was quite considerate. Not long after, he appeared in the corridor of the county party committee office. I don¡¯t know whether it was because the weather outside was really hot or just acting, but Liu Laofei walked in. After that, he kept wiping his fat face with a handkerchief in the corridor of the County Party Committee Office. That way made people think he had run a long way, even though everyone knew that the County Public Security Bureau and the County Party Committee and County Government Office Building , separated only by a courtyard wall. Seeing Du Yan standing at the door of the secretary's office, Mr. Liu stretched out his fat hands with a smile on his face. After shaking Du Yan's hands vigorously, he deliberately lowered his voice with an affectionate tone. Said: "Duke, it's my first time to report to Secretary Li today. Let's not talk about it. Let's find time to have a good time together." "How dare you let Bureau Liu treat you? I'll treat Bureau Liu to dinner when I have time." Du said. Yan answered with a smile. Looking at Liu Laofang's smiling face, Du Yan always responded with a humble but slightly distant attitude. Liu Zhihui obviously didn't expect to open up the situation with just a few words after meeting. Watching Du Yan knock on the door gently and walk into the office, he carefully thought about what he should pay attention to for the last time, and walked in after Du Yan came out to signal to him. opened the door. Du Yan made Liu Zhihui a cup of tea and backed out, but he noticed that Li Peizheng's face was obviously not good. Even the moment the door just closed, Li Peizheng's calm but angry voice came. Inquiry: "Director Liu, I invite you here this time because I want to learn from you about the situation of the county police officers, especially some things about the West Market Police Station" Although the door that was closed quickly blocked the sound in the room, But this was enough for Du Yan. Thinking of the two outsiders he met at noon, and thinking of the phone call not long ago, Du Yan vaguely guessed that his previous speculation might have been confirmed. When he thought of this matter Du Yan, who walked back to his desk and sat down, couldn't help but smile at the opportunities it might bring to Li Peizheng. But not long after he sat down, the phone on the table suddenly rang! As soon as Du Yan picked up the phone, there was a woman's voice that sounded like she had heard it before, and it was obviously anxious: "Is this the office of Secretary Li of the Pingling County Party Committee?" "Yes, who are you?" Du Yan just picked up the phone. Yan asked slightly surprised. The other party seemed anxious from the voice on the phone, and judging from the title, he didn't seem to be a local. "Hello, I am Mr. Song's secretary, my surname is Ou," the woman on the other side of the phone said anxiously. She may have realized that the person who reported Mr. Song's name might not know who it was, so she immediately said, "Where are you?" The contact information was provided by Secretary Qu of Taihua. I wonder if Secretary Li is free. There are some situations that I need to talk to Secretary Li. " The woman's words made Du Yan think quickly. There are many secretaries in Taihua City, starting from the Municipal Party Committee. There are many secretaries in all districts and counties under the jurisdiction, but there are not many secretaries named Qu. The key is that the person who can provide the phone number of Li Peizheng's office to others and happens to be named Qu. Du Yan immediately thought that he should be a member of the Standing Committee of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee. Full-time deputy secretary Qu Xiangshan. Du Yan's tone became more cautious when he thought of this. He knew that the people who could get the phone number from Qu Xiangshan were probably not ordinary people. More importantly, many people didn't know that it was the person who strongly recommended Li Peizheng to become Pingling County Party Committee Secretary. Qu Xiangshan! But even so, Du Yan also knew that he couldn't just take calls in the secretary's office. As a secretary, it is a very important duty to filter unimportant calls for the leader, not to mention when the leader is meeting with his subordinates: " Hello, Miss Ou, do you have anything? I can convey it to you. " "Sir, I have something very urgent to ask Secretary Li. This is related to our President Song's safety!" The woman on the other side was obviously a little annoyed because of her anxiety. But even so, she tried her best to restrain herself and said, "Please convey this to Secretary Li immediately!" Du Yan's heart skipped a beat. He had already heard that the voice that seemed familiar just now was the woman he met on the street before. Listening to her His tone was obviously that he was in trouble, which made Du Yan's mind immediately flash with various possibilities. The "Mr. Song" this woman refers to is obviouslyIt was that young man. If Du Yan had just guessed that he might not be an ordinary person before, now he was completely sure that this man obviously had a good background. Someone who could at least associate with a prefectural-level standing committee member would definitely not be simple. . "Please wait a moment, let me see if Secretary Li is here." Du Yan decided to take a gamble! Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 11 Chapter 11 has a great background Of course Du Yan knew that it was inappropriate or even taboo to break in when the leader was meeting with others, but he had a bigger reason to do this! This was certainly related to the relationship between them and Qu Xiangshan revealed by the woman. More importantly, Du Yan knew that neither he nor Li Peizheng would have much time before the political storm that swept the entire Hexi Province was coming. What preparations have been made. In this case, you must use all your strength to find a way to establish your influence in front of Li Peizheng. Only in this way can you help Li Peizheng avoid those destined crises at critical moments, and at the same time lay a stronger foundation for your future. Du Yan has already made up his mind. Since there is a chance to do it again, he must not be mediocre. Regardless of success or failure, he must fight hard! Seeing Du Yan walking in after knocking on the door, Li Peizheng felt a little unhappy. Speaking of which, the reason why he chose Du Yan as his secretary was not just because of Ding Bingxian's recommendation, but more because he didn't want to treat someone who didn't know his background, let alone what he knew. Stay with people who are close to you. So even though Du Yan looked a bit young, Li Peizheng still chose him. But now he felt that Du Yan seemed to be impetuous just because he was young. As the secretary of the county party committee, he was interrupted for the first time when he listened to the report of the head of an important department such as the public security director. Li Peizheng couldn't help but start to think about whether his previous choice was right. A little sloppy. However, his unhappiness only lasted until Du Yan walked up to him and whispered the name "Mr. Song" from the woman's mouth. After hearing the news relayed by Du Yan, Li Peizheng's expression immediately became serious. , he picked up the phone on the table that was connected to the outside secretary's desk. After saying a few words to the other party, he immediately raised his head and glanced at Liu Zhihui, who was sitting upright opposite, with a slightly angry look, and then Keep talking to the other person. Li Peizheng's eyes were obviously a little too harsh, which caused the sweat beads on Liu Laofang's forehead, which had been easily reduced due to the hot weather, to appear again immediately, but he did not dare to wipe it casually, so he had to He looked at Du Yan next to him with a slightly questioning and pleading look. Du Yan smiled helplessly. In fact, he had been sweating before. Although he was somewhat confident about interrupting Li Peizheng's conversation this time, he also knew that if he made a mistake in judgment, it would be difficult to restore his frivolity in Li Peizheng's mind. Frizzy impression. Now it seems that this bet was indeed the right one! "Miss Ou, I have a general understanding. Please rest assured that we will send someone to solve the problem immediately. During this period, please pay attention to your safety and Mr. Song's safety." Li Peizheng's voice was very low. Although it sounded businesslike, Du Yan Realizing that he did not use the usual perfunctory tone of "as soon as possible" that leaders like to use, but instead used the word "immediately", this made him even more sure that the Mr. Song on the phone obviously had an extraordinary identity. Liu Laofei obviously also realized the unusual meaning of the county party secretary's words. After Li Peizheng glanced at him, he knew that no matter who was on the phone and what was said, it was related to him or the Public Security Bureau, and obviously the matter Not too small. This made him curse the trash under him in his stomach. Although the county party secretary had to be wary of him, a heavy-handed police chief, he didn't want to be the one to establish prestige for the new secretary. bird. So before he came, he also told his subordinates to be careful and not to let the new secretary catch anything. After all, the special nature of the work of the public security organs is destined to have such drawbacks. If you don't catch them, it will be a typical example. But now it seems that trouble is still finding him. "Director Liu, that's all for today about the work of your public security agency. I am now officially informing you that someone reported that the West Market Police Station of the County Public Security Bureau colluded with local gangsters in an attempt to threaten the safety of people's lives and property. As the main police officer of the Public Security Bureau, "The person in charge, I hope you can solve this problem personally." Li Peizheng said to Liu Laofei with a stern look, although he had learned about a certain high-profile figure named Zhong Pingling because of the phone call he received from Secretary Qu of the city. There was some friction with the county public security department, but from the phone call, Li Peizheng only heard that the other party's car was impounded by the police station, so he just wanted to call Liu Laofei to beat him up, and then let the public security bureau release the car and return it. But after receiving the call from the other party, Li Peizheng realized that things might have changed. And from the fact that the other party was able to get the phone number of his office from Qu Xiangshan, Li Peizheng thought that the other party was not just a person with a different background. Xiao, because based on his understanding of Qu Xiangshan's prudent approach, even if the other party is the relative and child of some big shots in Taihua City, he would not do such a thing without distinction between public and private matters. Could it be someone from the province??Relationship with the boss? Thinking of this, Li Peizheng couldn't help but feel a little shocked. He knew that although he, the secretary of the county party committee, was considered a prince in Taihua City, he was not that important in the eyes of the big bosses in the province. What's more, both he and Qu Xiangshan needed to be promoted to the province. Rely on the support of some big guys here. The sweat on Liu Laofang's face had flowed down to his plump chin. Although Secretary Li had just pointed out sternly that some people reported that the public security department's style was rough, that was just a general talk, and he could still cope with it. But now after answering a phone call, it became a call specifically directed at the West Market Police Station. Thinking back to the previous accusations, he was absolutely certain that the group of grandsons from the West Market Police Station must have provoked some untouchable people. What¡¯s worse is that, based on what he knows about those at the West Market Police Station, those people must now be letting the local ruffians in the area cause trouble for others. While mentally scolding the eight generations of bastard ancestors over there in the West Market, Liu Laofang immediately stood up. Because he used too much force, the chair behind him was knocked backwards, making a "bang" sound. "Secretary Li, don't worry. I will go to the West Market Police Station immediately and severely punish the problematic personnel. I will not be merciful to those scum who have sneaked into our team." Mr. Liu expressed his position loudly with a resolute and courageous attitude. It is difficult to doubt that he had any previous knowledge of the style of the West Market Police Station. Li Peizheng's expression had calmed down at this time, and he nodded slightly to indicate that Liu Laofei could leave. Although this attitude was slightly rude to the head of an important department who came to report for the first time, Li Peizheng knew that this was a good opportunity to give this slippery guy a hard beating. Although he has only been here a few days, Li Peizheng has already heard that Liu Laofei is the famous smiling tiger. Speaking of which, even the previous old secretary and county magistrate Zhou Songlin could not completely conquer him. Li Peizheng didn¡¯t want to take back officials like Liu Laofei, who had long controlled powerful departments and were as slippery as ghosts. He just hoped that these people would not cause him trouble for the time being, and he would have to take his time in the future. However, Qu Xiangshan's phone call at noon gave him a chance, and now the call he received again made Li Peizheng take advantage of the situation and give him a hard slap on this seemingly incompetent slick guy. Regardless of whether Liu Laofei's attitude was pretentious or not, Li Peizheng was satisfied with his performance. He watched Liu Laofei hurriedly walk out of the office. After a moment of reflection, he turned to Du Yan and said, "Xiao Du, you should also go and check out the situation. The misunderstanding between the two parties may cause some unpleasantness, which will have some impact on our county's external image. Go and see if any appropriate remedies are needed." Li Peizheng's words made Du Yan secretly happy. He did not expect that Li Peizheng would ask him to follow. Solve the problem. But after thinking about it, he realized that although the other party made the call through a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and seemed to have a lot of background, Li Peizheng was the parent of the county party secretary after all, so he had to be reserved. As a secretary, I have protected Li Peizheng's identity and face by coming forward, and it has also given the other party a lot of face. As for whether Li Peizheng needs to come forward in person in the future, it depends on how things develop. Du Yan was very happy. He knew that this was a good opportunity for him to get in touch with those foreigners. Because he had some guesses about their purpose of coming, Du Yan paid more attention because he knew that if it was true as he thought, there might be many of them now. Opportunities that people never imagined are waiting for them, and they may even affect Li Peizheng's career. "Okay Secretary Li, I will go and cooperate with the work of the comrades in the county bureau. If anything happens, I will report to you in time." Du Yan nodded respectfully, then slightly quickened his pace and chased Liu Laofei who had already gone out. go. Looking at Du Yan's back as he walked out of the room, Li Peizheng felt slightly satisfied. The discomfort caused by interrupting the conversation had disappeared. Although he did not know the specific origin of "Mr. Song", Li Peizheng thought that he could get so much attention from the city secretary Qu, who even gave him his office phone number as an exception. Guessing the other party's background is definitely not trivial. This made him quite satisfied with Du Yan's correct judgment after receiving the call. At least from this first day, he was a young man who could grasp the priorities of things, and this was also the basis of a qualified secretary. Require. When Du Yan came out of Li Peizheng's office, he immediately quickened his pace. However, after going around the wall, he saw that Liu Laofei was not in a hurry, but was running towards the second-story building of the County Public Security Bureau. The Pingling County Public Security Bureau turned out to be A warehouse built in the 1970s was renovated with an additional floor inside. If you don't look at the sign, it looks like a huge cinema from the outside. Seeing Du Yan, Liu Laofei was slightly startled. He had wanted to call the West Market Police Station first. Seeing the situation, no matter what the facts were, he had to warn his subordinates first not to do stupid things again, andLet those scoundrels from the West Market leave as soon as possible so that he can have room to maneuver when he arrives. But when he saw Du Yan coming, he could only turn around and look at Du Yan with a forced smile. "Brother, does Secretary Li have any other instructions?" Liu Laofei looked at Du Yan and asked. He didn't know if Du Yan came here because Li Peizheng wanted him to stare at him, which made him secretly annoyed. From Liu Laofei's sweaty face, Du Yan felt a hint of sharpness. He knew that Liu Laofei had obviously regarded him as someone to spy on him, and there was already a hint of hostility between the two. However, Du Yan also knew that he had no choice. From the moment he decided to become Li Peizheng's secretary, he knew that his future would be tied to Li Peizheng, and he didn't mind others thinking so, because he knew that the more clear-cut the situation at this time. By siding with Li Peizheng, it will be more likely that Li Peizheng will be able to provide him with enough help in the future when he achieves success in his official career. "Director Liu, things are a bit complicated. Secretary Li asked me to accompany you to the West Market Police Station to see if I can cooperate with your work and try my best to do the other party's work." Du Yan said with a smile. He no longer cared about Mr. Liu at this time. What does Fei think, and in his heart, he does not think that Liu Lao Fei is a suitable person to fight for. Li Peizheng may not know, but Du Yan knows very well that this Liu Lao Fei still has no evil deeds, but later he and Feng Chao colluded with each other and became the protective umbrella of Pingling's evil forces. For Liu Laofei, even if Li Peizheng wants to win over him, Du Yan will remind him to think twice. Sooner or later, such a person will be the source of trouble for others! Liu Laofang's eyes narrowed slightly inadvertently, but because he was fat and his eyes were small, it was not easy for others to see. But then he nodded with a smile, turned around and walked towards the police car parked in front of the Public Security Bureau: " Come on, brother, let¡¯s go quickly. The tasks assigned by Secretary Li cannot be delayed.¡± As the siren sounded, the police car drove out of the Public Security Bureau yard and roared towards the West Market. The hot summer sun pierced the roof of the police car like a rocket. Even with the windows open, it was still extremely hot. I don¡¯t know whether it was the hot weather or other reasons, but Liu Laofa¡¯s police uniform was soaked with sweat. The sweat beads on his greasy, fat, dark face hung on his chin from time to time, making him look a little disgusting. Du Yan knew that Old Fatty Liu must be scolding him so much, but he couldn't care less about it. Not to mention that "Mr. Song" could easily obtain Li Peizheng's phone number from Qu Xiangdong, deputy secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, which explains a lot of problems. Li Peizheng wanted to use this incident to attack the Public Security Bureau and even the entire Pingling. The county capital came with the intention of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and Du Yan knew that he could only do it firmly, so that he could not only help Li Peizheng establish his authority, but also establish the basis for his own status. As for offending Liu Laofei, Du Yan doesn't care very much. Some people try not to offend him as much as possible, but for some people, it's impossible not to offend him at all. The urban area of ??Pingling County is not large, and soon the police car drove to the West Market Police Station. Still far away, Du Yan saw a woman waiting anxiously at the door of the police station. Lu Yan recognized her as the young woman he saw getting out of the Santana outside the cultural center at noon. Hearing the sound of the siren, a policeman sitting in the duty room looked out through the window, and then his expression changed. For the policeman at the police station, even if a small person came down from the county bureau, he would be nervous, not to mention that he immediately recognized the jeep that was almost exclusively used by the county bureau chief. Hearing the shouting, the policemen who hurried out of the police station immediately came to the door. Because they were nervous, they pushed the young woman aside regardless. Looking at Mr. Liu who came out of the car with a gloomy face, several policemen couldn't help but I was pounding in my heart, wondering what was wrong and offending the boss of the county bureau. "Where is Chen Guangfa?" Liu Laofang asked with a dark face. Looking at the disheveled policemen in front of him, his brows almost knit together. The breath he had been holding back before was even more because he didn't see Xi The director of the market police station was about to explode immediately! "Director, Mr. Chen went down to sneak a police film" A policeman replied hesitantly. In fact, he knew that Chen Guangfa was invited to dinner by Liu Laosi, and there might be some special services coming, so he probably wouldn't come. Got to work. "You're sneaking out of here!" Liu Laofang's face was already dark red, but just when he was about to explode, Du Yan, who was following him, suddenly walked a few steps quickly and came to the young woman. Asked: "Excuse me, are you Miss Ou?" "Are you" Miss Ou looked at this familiar young man and hesitated for a moment before thinking, "Are you the gentleman at noon?" Then she suddenly realized it. : "Isn't it you who answered the phone just now?"   "Yes, Miss Ou, my name is Lu Yan, and I am the secretary of Secretary Li of the Pingling County Party Committee. Secretary Li attaches great importance to the situation you reported. Regarding the bad behavior of people's lives and property being threatened by evil forces, Secretary Li has instructed the county Comrades from the Public Security Bureau must pay attention to it in an attitude of being responsible for the people. Director Liu of the County Public Security Bureau has personally come to handle it. " Du Yan smiled and gestured to Liu Laofei, looking at Liu Laofei because he heard that he was doing business. It was a public matter, but the relationship was completely ignored. His face almost turned purple, but Du Yan stepped aside as if he didn't see it. ??At this time, Liu Laofei no longer hated Du Yan, but actually wanted to eat him! Especially when he heard the almost qualitative title of "dark and evil forces", Liu Laofei's heart couldn't help but jump. He didn't know if this was Li Peizheng's instruction, but he knew that this time it might be really bad! Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Suspected Crown Prince Only the devil believes in those mass reports and the nonsense of being responsible for the people! Liu Laofei couldn't help cursing in his heart. If this woman didn't have a strong enough background, he didn't believe that Li Peizheng would mobilize so much troops for this matter. He also knew that Li Peizheng was obviously taking the opportunity to beat himself up, and more likely to show others how to do it. But now Liu Laofei can't think so much. He knows that if he doesn't do something this time, he may be able to survive. Not only would Li Peizheng be dissatisfied, the woman in front of him and the person behind her might be enough to make him drink a pot. That Miss Ou was obviously very anxious. She didn't care to talk about those scenes anymore. After shaking Old Fatty Liu's sticky hand for a while, she said anxiously: "Director Liu, please send someone to a restaurant called Liyuju." "We, Mr. Song, are surrounded by several gangsters. Please send someone over as soon as possible." "I don't know if it's because of anxiety or because they are used to it. This woman who looks like a secretary and Liu Laofei, the powerful county public security bureau. The director didn't really care when he spoke, as if he could always give orders to the county police chief at will. This made Liu Laofei unhappy and at the same time secretly frightened. He was a little uneasy because he didn't know what happened before, while Du Yan was even more certain of his previous guess. "Liyuju?" Liu Laofei couldn't help but look back at the policemen after being stunned. He knew that Chen Guangfa was probably eating and drinking in Liyuju at this time, but he didn't pay much attention and shouted at the policemen. After making a sound, he turned around and got into the police car. Accompanied by Du Yan, Miss Ou also got into the police car. It was only then, through Miss Ou's account, that Liu Laofei knew what had happened. And Lu Yan also roughly guessed what happened next from Miss Ou's narrative. After being taken to the police station, Chen Guangfa naturally blackmailed the outsiders by favoring Liu Laosi. In his opinion, he had the final say in his one-third of an acre of land. But those outsiders were obviously not simple people. Chen Guangfa was not too reckless. He knew that these people should have some background. In this case, he would not do anything wrong. After issuing a so-called accident ticket, he detained Santana in the backyard of the police station and let these people leave. This actually gives the other party an opportunity to find someone to communicate with. But even so, he didn't intend to just let these people go. After those people left, he immediately hinted that Liu Laosi would cause trouble for these people. According to Chen Guangfa's idea, in the end these outsiders would end up because they couldn't stand the locals. If the harassment from the local gangsters comes to you, then it will all be decided by you. Liu Laosi was naturally familiar with the details here. When he saw those people leaving the police station and entering Liyuju not far away, he immediately summoned a group of local ruffians to come to the door. He himself accompanied Chen Guangfa to Liyuju and found a private room, waiting to watch the show. Of course, Miss Ou didn't know that there were so many things involved. At noon, Mr. Song called Qu Xiangshan from Taihua at the police station. But to their surprise, before the call was finished, the police station opened the door. Find out whether the ticket is a traffic violation or a public security penalty violation, and send them away. Then, before the contact could be continued, Miss Ou was really surprised by the sudden appearance of those gangsters during the meal. Taking advantage of the chaos, Miss Ou ran out of the restaurant, and the target of those gangsters was only Mr. Song. Obviously he didn't take her as a woman seriously, so she was given the opportunity to contact Qu Xiangshan again and get Li Peizheng's phone number. Listening to Miss Ou's narration, Liu Laofei's originally dark face had an abnormal red light. He knew that this time he had really kicked the iron plate. From his words, he could already tell that Miss Ou was extremely dissatisfied with the Pingling Public Security Bureau. The most important thing was that the other party's words revealed that she was related to a certain big shot in Taihua City. This made him feel like he was completely exposed. Angry that GF has been cheated! He has secretly made up his mind that even if the other party does not pursue the case, he will never let Chen Guangfa go. After all, Li Peizheng has shown his intention to rectify the county bureau, so he must find a scapegoat of sufficient weight before Li Peizheng takes the opportunity to clean up the county bureau. As for whether the people from the West Market Police Station in the car behind him would give Chen Guang a tip, Liu Laofei didn't care. In his opinion, Chen Guangfa was doomed this time. Even if he heard the news and rushed to clean up the mess before they arrived, He can no longer escape the fate of being the scapegoat. But what Liu Laofei didn¡¯t expect was that when they arrived at Liyuju, looking at the scene in front of them, Liu Laofei could only say in his heart that this Chen Guangfa was really seeking his own death, and he couldn¡¯t blame others for his misfortune. Liyuju is not far from the West Market Police Station and is one of the best hotels in Pingling. Because it is built by the Xiaoling River, the area in front of the door is relatively open.There is plenty of money, so from a distance, you can see a group of people in front of the hotel. The siren on the police car seemed unusually loud in the summer afternoon, but from a distance, the group of people gathered at the entrance of Liyuju didn't seem to take the police car seriously and kept shouting. This made Liu Laofei feel that his face was not only distraught, but what made him even more embarrassed was that he saw Chen Guangfa, the director of the West Market Police Station, leaning in the shade of the corridor outside Liyuju to watch the excitement. The slanting look on his face suggested that he was almost drunk. Liu Laofang felt that he was really going to collapse. When the police car stopped in front of Liyuju, he jumped out of the car with agility that was completely inconsistent with his fat body, and rushed out of the crowd in a few steps. Let out a loud shout: "What are you doing! Do you want to gather a crowd to rebel?!" "Gather a crowd" and "rebellion", these words in China will always be magic weapons that the powerful can use to characterize people they don't like. Once this label is established, The fate is almost decided. So when they suddenly heard such a loud roar, the scoundrels gathered around the door of the hotel couldn't help but fell silent. They all looked at Chen Guangfa, who was sitting not far away and seemed to have just woken up. Among them, the one standing in the crowd Liu Laosi has begun to slowly shrink back. "Director Liu, I didn't know you were coming. Why didn't you tell us in advance? I'm going to pick you up." Chen Guangfa tried his best to walk more steadily. He took out the walkie-talkie from the pocket behind his butt while holding on to his hand. He looked at it, and then said a little embarrassedly, "Oops, the battery is out." "Chen Guangfa, what's going on? As a people's policeman, you actually watch these gangsters gathering to cause trouble, do you still deserve to be a policeman!" Liu Laofei's voice almost changed its tone. He knew that even if he wanted to, he couldn't save Chen Guangfa, not to mention that he didn't want to protect him. Instead of waiting for others to use the topic, it is better to take the initiative and throw the troublemaker out. "Director Liu, these people are ordinary people in Pingling. They were bullied by a few outsiders inside, and they just want to find trouble with the people inside." "Aren't I preparing to mediate?" Chen Guangfa hadn't seen the situation clearly yet. He thought Liu Laofei was just going through the motions. After all, it couldn't be justified when he saw himself standing aside and letting these ruffians attack others. "Besides, These people have also suffered. Look at their people being beaten by those outsiders. "That's right, Director Liu, look at our people being beaten by them." Seeing Chen Guangfa speaking for them. , those ruffians became bolder again. They pointed at the two companions next to them who looked like they had obviously been beaten up, and complained loudly. "Shut up!" Liu Laofei shouted again. At this time, he had the urge to skin Chen Guang. "Arrest all these criminals immediately!" After hearing the director's order, the people in the car behind him The police rushed forward immediately. For a while, people were jumping on their backs at the entrance of Liyuju, and it was so lively. "Liu Bureau, what are you, what are you" Only then did Chen Guangfa realize that something was wrong. Facing Liu Laofang's cannibalistic eyes, he asked in a mumble. "Chen Guangfa, in view of your dereliction of duty and shielding criminals, on behalf of the Party Committee of the County Public Security Bureau, I have decided to suspend you from the position of director of the West Market Police Station. Your position will be temporarily replaced by Deputy Director Wang Lianyi. The relevant handling opinions will be discussed in the County Bureau Party Committee Discussion at the meeting. "For a while, Chen Guangfa seemed to be in a daze. He stood under the bright sun and looked straight at Liu Laofei, and then suddenly he rushed forward with eyes blazing! "Old Fatty Liu! You are so fucking bullying!" Chen Guangfa, who was smelling of alcohol, yelled. He ignored the two policemen who hurriedly ran over to hold him up, and threw himself forward with all his strength. "What benefits did Wang Lianyi give you and you want to trick me? Don't think that others don't know what you did! You are no better than me!" As he said that, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the man Du Yan had met at the cultural center before The young policeman who passed by with Chen Guangfa yelled: "Wang, stabbing in the back is nothing, you have to die!" The young policeman showed a look of embarrassment or excitement on his face, but he didn't say anything. Thinking that good luck suddenly hit him, he was happy and uneasy for a moment, because he knew that although this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if Chen Guangfa passed the test this time, he would also be in trouble at the West Market Police Station. Can't go down anymore. Liu Laofang's face was livid. He didn't know what impact these words would have if they fell on Li Peizheng's ears, but when he saw that Du Yan didn't seem to care about anything here, he followed the woman and walked in. In Liyuju, he immediately thought that now was not the time to get entangled with the mad dog-like Chen Guangfa. What really mattered was the people in Liyuju. He casually waved to the two policemen driving Chen Guangyi, and Liu Laofei immediately followed him towards the restaurant.   That Miss Ou was obviously in a hurry. She ignored the fact that the police were still chasing the gangsters who were running away, and hurriedly ran towards the hotel, with Du Yan following behind her. When they entered the restaurant, they found that the restaurant was empty. At the corner of the stairs leading to the second floor, a few broken tables and chairs were blocked there, looking like a temporary fortification. "Mr. Song! Brother Chai! Are you okay?" Miss Ou raised her head anxiously and shouted upstairs. Then a deep and powerful voice came from upstairs: "Miss Ou is back? We are fine, Mr. Song is safe." Following the voice, a burly figure appeared at the top of the stairs. The man bent down slightly, grabbed a table with broken legs blocking the stairs, threw it to the side, and then kicked away other messy things. This scene happened to be seen by Mr. Liu, who was following him into the hotel. He narrowed his eyes slightly, then walked to the stairs in a few steps and asked the police who were following him to help clean up the things. Mr. Song followed the stalwart man and walked down the stairs calmly. His face was calm, and he didn't seem to be emotionally disturbed by what just happened. When he saw the nervous Miss Ou, he showed a gentle smile. When he saw Du Yan following Miss Ou, he was stunned for a moment, and then burst into hearty laughter. "We meet again in life, and we meet again so soon." Mr. Song walked down the last step of the stairs and stopped, looking at the young man in front of Du Yan. "Hello, Mr. Song, this is Director Liu of our Pingling County Public Security Bureau. After receiving Miss Ou's report, Director Liu personally led a team to solve the problem." Du Yan smiled and stretched out his hand, and continued, "My name is Du Yan. She is the secretary of Secretary Li of the County Party Committee. "Mr. Song first raised his hand to stop Miss Ou from making the recommendation. After casually nodding to Liu Laofei, he held Du Yan's hand and said, "Song Jiayi doesn't have a title, he's just a junior. Business." From his seemingly casual behavior, a sense of arrogance was clearly revealed. Obviously, in the eyes of Mr. Song, Du Yan was considered a figure because of his righteous behavior at noon, and there was no need for others to pay any attention to him. The color on Liu Laofang's face at this moment was wonderful. In front of so many subordinates, he didn't expect that Mr. Song wouldn't even give him the least bit of face. This made him want to throw down his sleeves and turn around. The urge to go. But Liu Laofei finally endured it. Although he still didn¡¯t know the identity of the other party, he saw the behavior of the bodyguard next to Mr. Song when he just walked into the restaurant. Because he was demobilized from the army, Liu Laofei still had some discernment. He could tell that that person was definitely not an ordinary driver and bodyguard. From his strong physique, he thought of the two gangsters who were defeated outside, and the people outside. There were so many people but they didn't dare to rush into the restaurant easily. He realized that this bodyguard was not an ordinary person. So it was worth considering who Mr. Song was who could alert the county party committee secretary. Seeing Song Jiayi not giving Liu Laofai face, Du Yan was also slightly curious. Although he had some guesses, he was not sure yet, but from this person's attitude, he could generally guess that the other person not only had a good background, but was also obviously quite dissatisfied with the Pingling Public Security Bureau, which made him feel that it was necessary to find an opportunity to do something to Song Jiayi. some instructions. ¡°After all, if a person with a strong background and may even be involved with some big shots leaves a bad impression that the Pingling County Party Committee cannot control the public security system, it will not be good for Li Peizheng¡¯s career. Du Yan was still thinking, when a policeman suddenly ran over with a walkie-talkie: "Bureau Liu, everyone in the West Market shouted, asking Secretary Du to call Secretary Li immediately." Liu Laofang looked at Du Yan and hummed. He shouted in reply. Seeing Du Yan walk to the front desk of the restaurant to make a phone call, he secretly gritted his teeth and walked towards Song Jiayi with a smile on his face. "Mr. Song, I want to review. Our Pingling County Bureau has not done a good job. I have really failed the people's expectations of me" Du Yan couldn't help but miss the pager while dialing numbers on the old-fashioned dial-up phone. , mobile phones, and even the Internet. The backward communication methods of this era made Du Yan feel as if he was suffocating, which made him start to think about what the future would be like if a sum of capital could be injected into the information industry at this time. However, his free-spirited thoughts were broken as soon as the phone was connected. He even answered the call immediately from the moment it rang, guessing that Li Peizheng was obviously waiting for the call. "Hello, I am Li Peizheng." Although he was anxious, Li Peizheng's tone was still calm and dignified. "Secretary Li, this is Du Yan," Du Yan spoke businesslikely at first, then lowered his voice slightly and said, "Secretary, the matter has been resolved. I have met Mr. Song. He and his entourage are very good. Liu The director is handling the relevant issuesQuestion, I hope to send you a processing report soon. Do you have any other instructions? " After Du Yan finished speaking, there was a brief silence on the phone, and then Li Peizheng's calm but unquestionable voice came: "You are handling it very well. As for those gangsters and disciplinary personnel suspected of harboring, I I believe that the comrades in the county bureau will never show favoritism and will definitely have an objective and fair result. As for Mr. Song, treat him to a meal for me. After all, what happened in our Pingling is because we did not do our job well. We have the responsibility to restore the negative impact Pingling has had on the outside world, and we must also be responsible for Pingling's future image. " "Okay Secretary Li, I will convey your instructions and condolences to Mr. Song. " Du Yan looked back at Song Jiayi, who was dealing with Liu Laofei indifferently, and answered softly. After slowly hanging up the phone, Li Peizheng leaned his head on the back of the chair and thought silently. At this time, he was sure that Mr. Song was safe and sound. , Li Peizheng's tense nerves calmed down. He will never forget what Qu Xiangshan, the full-time deputy secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, said to him on the phone not long ago: "Old Li, if this President Song comes out. When something goes wrong, not only you and me, but also someone from the province needs to come out and make an explanation. " Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Li Peizheng's Thoughts Du Yan put down the phone and looked back. Liu Laofei was still talking to Song Jiayi cautiously, but Song Jiayi didn't seem to want to talk to him, which made Liu Laofei look quite embarrassed. As a county police chief at the official level, he is a powerful figure in Pingling everywhere he goes. Now he has to bow his head to please a businessman, who still looks impatient. No matter how he looks at it, he is not being treated well. Seeing this, Fatty Liu wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. But Liu Laofei also knew that he not only had to try his best to calm down the well-established prince, but he also had to serve him well, otherwise Li Peizheng would never let go of a good opportunity to take advantage of this incident to beat him. More importantly, even if Zhou Songlin and the people on the old secretary's side would not easily accept Li Peizheng's attempt to establish his prestige by beating him, the anger in the heart of Mr. Song, who has a great background in front of him, must be found ways to eliminate, otherwise If the higher-ups had spoken out, others would definitely not be able to count on them, and the only one who would be unlucky would definitely be himself. It is estimated that Li Peizheng saw this clearly and beat himself so unceremoniously. With the authority of the county party committee secretary and the pressure from above, Liu Laofei believed that even Zhou Songlin and those on the old secretary's side might be able to do it by then. He will also stay out of the way for a while, and by then he will be the most ready scapegoat. Du Yan walked over, smiled at Song Jiayi and was about to speak, but Song Jiayi had already spoken: "Brother, thank you for your hard work today. I'll treat you tonight." After saying that, he turned around and looked around, "This place is nice, quiet and cool. , we don¡¯t bother looking elsewhere, it¡¯s fine here.¡± Looking at Song Jiayi¡¯s casual and decisive expression when he said this, Du Yan could be sure that this was a person who was used to making decisions for others. Maybe it all seems normal to him, but to others it's just an order. "How is this possible? What happened has shown that our work has not been done properly. As our sincerity in Pingling to express a little apology to Mr. Song, we should also treat you to this meal." Du Yan looked indifferent, but his tone There was a hint of determination in it. Although we still don¡¯t know who the powerful Mr. Song is, no one would be stupid enough to think that someone who alarmed a deputy department-level Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee member and a County Party Committee Secretary would be an ordinary person. Officials who love the people like their own children cannot No, but ordinary people who can make Li Peizheng or even Qu Xiangshan achieve this level are really hard to find in China. So Du Yan knew that this meal was by no means a simple treat, but an attitude of some people in Pingling or even Taihua City towards Song Jiayi, or the forces behind him. Song Jiayi seemed a little surprised by Du Yan's insistence, but then he nodded gracefully. Then he smiled lightly and said to Liu Laofei and Wang Lianyi who were standing next to him: "Although it is Du Mi's treat, I will lend flowers to Buddha tonight." I also invite you two to come and get together. I am very grateful for the timely and effective help from the Pingling Public Security Bureau. Maybe there will be many places where I need help in the future, so I will inevitably trouble you." Song Jiayi said and gave a slight smile to Miss Ou beside him. Signing, after Miss Ou took out two business cards from her handbag and gave them to Liu Laofei and Wang Lianyi respectively, he showed Du Yan a meaningful smile. Seeing Song Jiayi's behavior, Du Yan couldn't help but nodded secretly in his heart. Du Yan knew that since Song Jiayi came to a small place like Pingling, he had some purpose. If Du Yan had guessed correctly, Song Jiayi must have been thinking a lot this time. What Du Yan remembered at this time was a major event that would happen in his memory in the near future, whether it was Pingling or Taihua City. If Song Jiayi came here just for this matter, then he will definitely have more opportunities to contact the local government in the future. Although his profound background is enough to open up connections for him, he also knows that if he wants to accomplish things, he should often Those who understand the principle that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. This President Song is obviously different from those princelings who are rumored to be arrogant and domineering. If the arrogance shown to Liu Laofei before was the habit of a playboy, his behavior now is that of a typical businessman. "I don't know where Mr. Song is resting. I will send someone to pick you and Miss Ou up then." Liu Laofang said with a smile, but his smile could only be described as barely. After all, for him, this day has been a waste of time. But it was too frustrating. But what disappointed Liu Laofei was that Song Jiayi was obviously a very cautious person. After politely refusing, he and Miss Ou got into Santana, which was already waiting outside, and the car left under the watchful eyes of Du Yan and Liu Laofei. "Du Mi, this Mr. Song has a lot of background. We in Pingling have learned a lesson this time. It's all up to Du Mi to find a way to let us pass in Pingling tonight." When the car was out of sight, Liu Laofei He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his head, but even though he said this, he kept looking at Du Yan from the corner of his eyes. Although he didn't know whether Du Yan knew this SongHowever, he had already made up his mind to push Du Yan to the front. At least he must advance and retreat with Du Yan on this matter. Only in this way could he avoid the turmoil that would follow. Liu Laofei knew very well that today's matter would never end like this, and Li Peizheng would definitely use the topic to his advantage. But if Du Yan comes forward, things will naturally become much easier. Even if Mr. Song refuses to give up, Du Yan represents the attitude of the Pingling County Party Committee Secretary, that is, the attitude of the entire Pingling County Party Committee. In this way, then President Song still has to be cautious. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­ Du Yan looked at Old Fatty Liu who was smiling and couldn't find a trace of his previous domineering look, but he felt secretly amused in his heart. If it were other young people who heard such compliments from a county police chief, they might have been complacent and agreed. However, Du Yan's many years of life experience in his previous life let him know that Mr. Liu was still playing tricks on him now. Tricky. "Director Liu, I don't dare to take what you say. Firstly, I'm not high enough, and secondly, I'm young. Besides, I just officially became Secretary Li's secretary today, and I'm not familiar with many tasks yet. Besides, you are the leader, and you are a person within the Public Security Bureau. I am even less qualified to participate in this matter. Of course, Director Liu is still taking charge tonight. It is of course not convenient for the leaders of the county committee and government to come out, so I will take the liberty of accompanying him and help Director Liu keep the drink away when necessary." Du Yan said modestly. , but his attitude was very clear: This matter was caused by your county public security bureau, don¡¯t even think about handing over the responsibility, let alone blame it on me. The fat on Liu Laofang's face shook inadvertently. He didn't expect that this young man in his early twenties was so sophisticated. Not only did he speak impeccably, but what was even more annoying was that he insisted that this matter was the county. This means that if Mr. Song is not satisfied with the meal tonight, not only will the matter not be understood, but the county committee may also find trouble. Liu Laofei's face was still full of smiles, but the way he looked at Du Yan had changed a little. He found that the young man in front of him didn't seem to be as easy to deal with as he thought before. It seemed that Li Peizheng still had some problems in choosing him as his secretary. reason. "Well, as long as Mr. Song sells me this face, I will be an honest man who blames me tonight. After all, the trouble happened in our Pingling. As the director of the county bureau, I am also responsible." Liu Laofahehehe Smiling, there was no hint of displeasure on his face. It looked like he had gotten a big deal, but what he was thinking in his heart was not something others could guess. Liu Laofei's appearance made Du Yan feel more vigilant. Of course, someone who can hold such an important position as the county public security director will not be simple. And Du Yan also knew that Liu Laofei's relationship with the county magistrate Guo Songlin was enough to make him arrogant and domineering. Although this time Li Peizheng obviously used the power of the county party committee secretary and the city district secretary to give Liu Laofei a hard beating, but seeing how this old man realized the seriousness of the matter so quickly and remained so calm. After coping with it, Du Yan couldn't help but sigh secretly. Sure enough, no one who could get to this point is easy to get along with. After making an appointment with Liu Laofei to meet in the evening, Du Yan returned to the county party committee compound in a public security bureau car. Listening to Du Yan's report, Li Peizheng thought silently and slightly. Speaking of which, he couldn't figure out why Mr. Song suddenly came to a remote place like Pingling. Although he guessed from Qu Weiyang that Mr. Song might have a really big background, he couldn't figure it out after careful consideration. There is no reason why. "Xiao Du, tonight you will entertain Mr. Song on my behalf," Li Peizheng said seemingly casually, his eyes flashing across Du Yan's face. "You have to remember that this time, for us in Pingling, In fact, it is very passive. Some of our departments do not follow the law or tell the facts, which has a very bad impact on the people. As a superior leader, it is necessary to re-establish the image of Pingling. Maybe you have roughly guessed the origin of General Song Some, so it is even more necessary for us to eliminate the negative impact of this incident as soon as possible. Let Director Wu go with you. He is very old and experienced and knows how to deal with such things. " Li Peizheng's words made Du Yan's heart move. He didn't know if Li Peizheng already knew that Wu Shenzheng helped his nephew Feng Chao plagiarize his manuscript. However, regardless of whether Li Peizheng knew about it, Du Yan immediately realized that it was Li Peizheng. A means to recruit people. In this way, Du Yan understood that the conflict between himself and Wu Shenzheng's nephew could not be resolved as easily as he thought, at least when it came to attacking Feng Chao.?We must take into account the role of his uncle Wu Shenzhen in Li Peizheng's layout of Pingling. At the same time, Du Yan also heard from Li Peizheng's words that Li Peizheng obviously did not want to provide any cover for the County Public Security Bureau in this matter, and even wanted to take this opportunity to directly touch Liu Laofei. And this just confirmed his previous guess about the situation. This made Du Yan understand that this was also a test for himself by Li Peizheng, a test of whether he could understand his intentions, and a test of whether he could keep up with his vision of the overall situation. A secretary may not have the ability to be a leader, but if he does not have the understanding to be an assistant, his value in the eyes of the leader will be greatly reduced. "I know Secretary Li, and I will convey your thoughts to Mr. Song. I believe that Mr. Song will also understand and support the attitude of our Pingling County Committee. If you have no other instructions, I will go and talk to Director Wu right away. Let¡¯s discuss the details of entertaining Mr. Song in the evening, and strive to restore the negative impact and negative effects caused by our relevant departments in Pingling as soon as possible.¡± Hearing that Du Yan clearly understood his intention, Li Peizheng nodded with slight approval. , although Mr. Song has a great background, Li Peizheng knows that he is not suitable to show too much attention to this matter, let alone meet with Mr. Song at this time, and rush to set up a line as soon as he comes. He was eager to climb high, and he didn't want others to underestimate him. Secondly, since Mr. Song seemed very low-key along the way, it meant that he didn't want to make a big show of it. " In this case, whether it is his reserve as a county parent or considering his thoughts, there is no need for Li Peizheng to be too enthusiastic. ¡°Then let¡¯s do this, try to make things come to a conclusion,¡± Li Peizheng said seemingly casually, but no one else could know what he was thinking. Watching Du Yan walk out of the office, Li Peizheng picked up a copy of "Pingling Newsletter" published today on the table. In addition to Du Yan's article, he paid more attention to another article titled "Open up new ideas and seize new opportunities." , put Pingling into the fast lane of economic construction with a courageous and courageous spirit." Looking at the signature of the author named "Lao Ji" at the bottom of the article, Li Peizheng thought for a moment, then picked up the phone on the desk and dialed "Pingling" The number of the editor-in-chief of Ling News. "Bingxian, I'm Pei Zheng. If I have time in the evening, I'll go to your place to play chess and have a chat." After leaving Li Peizheng's office, Du Yan came to the county party committee office. What happened at the County Public Security Bureau had already spread by now. When they saw Du Yan, people in the office looked at him differently than before. Except for Xue Xuefen, who still looked so indifferent, the others also became more reserved when greeting Du Yan, which made Du Yan feel as if he had suddenly become a county leader. "Xiao Du, what's the matter?" Wu Shenzhong saw Du Yan walking up to him. Although he didn't stand up, the smile on his face seemed much more cordial than others. "Director Wu, it's like this. There is Mr. Song who comes from out of town. Secretary Li asked our county party committee office to be responsible for receiving him. I just went to work today and have no experience. Secretary Li asked you to be mainly responsible for this reception work." Du Yan said at the same time Secretly observing Wu Shenzheng's expression, he noticed that the corners of Wu Shenzheng's eyes twitched slightly after hearing his intention. Although he still looked calm, he could already feel that his body seemed to be slightly unsteady. "Xiao Du, is this Mr. Song you are talking about the one you went to receive at noon" Wu Shenzheng hesitated and asked. What happened at the West Market Police Station at noon has already spread throughout the afternoon among various agencies in Pingling. Many people have guessed that this is obviously the first fire made by the new secretary. There are many people who are feeling uneasy and watching with cold eyes. There are also a lot of people, and even more people are eager to see something exciting at this time. Seeing Du Yan nodding, Wu Shenzhong couldn't help but a layer of hot sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew that Li Peizheng was taking this opportunity to force him to take sides. As the deputy director of the county party committee office, he didn't have a strong backer. If he didn't Be wise, the chair under his butt won't last long. But if you lean over, will it be safe? Can Li Peizheng defeat Zhou Songlin, a weakling? Wu Shenzheng couldn't help but wonder. "Director Wu, then I will go to Liyuju in the evening and wait for the guests to come. I will follow your arrangements." Du Yan did not wait for Wu Shenzhong to think too much. He knew that Wu Shenzhong was undecided now, but he I can't control that much. Wu Shenzheng nodded thoughtfully and agreed. He never expected that the first person to choose his side would be himself. After receiving Wu¡¯s cautious reply, Du Yan politely asked for advice on what he needed to pay attention to at night, and then walked out of the office. Looking at Du YanLooking back and looking at the eyes secretly glancing at him in the office, Wu Shenzhong felt a chill in his heart for no reason. For Du Yan, how to communicate with President Song through the dinner party in the evening is extremely important. As for Wu Shenzhen, since Li Peizheng has shown his intention to conquer Wu Shenzhen, all he needs to do is cooperate. ¡° If Song Jiayi came because of that incident as he suspected, Du Yan would never give up this rare opportunity easily, because this could be said to be a golden opportunity for both himself and Li Peizheng. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Banquet The efficiency of Liyuju was good. By the time Du Yan came to visit again in the evening, the messy lobby had been tidied up. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find traces of previous damage. In a box at the back of the second floor of Liyuju, Du Yan saw Wang Lianyi, the newly promoted director of the West Market Police Station, who had already arrived. Looking at the new director who could not conceal his excitement, Du Yan felt that this young policeman had not yet fully contracted the bad habits of the veteran police officers. Seeing Du Yan, Wang Lianyi immediately greeted him enthusiastically. This made the boss of Liyuju who was following Wang Lianyi secretly pay attention to this young man who looked unusually young. When he heard that this was the secretary of the new county party secretary, Liyuju The boss of Ju seems to be more enthusiastic and respectful. What surprised Du Yan was that the newly minted director Wang Dai was actually a junior college graduate from Taihua Public Security College, not a police officer who had no major or was demobilized from the army. In the early 1990s, although the country had decided to vigorously rectify the public security system and began to cultivate police forces with professional qualities, there were still very few professionals like Wang Lianyi. Only then did Du Yan roughly understand why he became a police officer at such a young age. Deputy director of the market police station. As for what other connections Wang Lianyi has besides academic qualifications that allowed him to sit on the throne of deputy director at such a young age, we need to slowly find out. Just after saying a few words, a slightly noisy voice outside the box attracted their attention. Seeing Liu Laofei with half of his head exposed from the stairs and Wu Shenchen who was following behind, Wang Lianyi immediately rushed over in a few steps. Standing at the top of the stairs waiting for his immediate boss. Liu Laofang had a smile on his face, as if he didn't care at all about what happened during the day. Seeing Du Yan, he said hello and walked over to hold Du Yan's hand. His friendly look made Wang Lianyi secretly envious, while Wu Shenzheng secretly frowned. Of course, Du Yan would not let Liu Laofang, an old man, be fooled by his appearance of affection. Because he knew exactly what this man would do in a few years, Du Yan was even more wary of this smiling tiger. "This group of people below is indeed causing a lot of trouble today. It seems necessary to straighten it out, but we have to slow down first," Liu Laofei casually sat down next to Du Yanshi and said in a seemingly intimate manner. "Secretary Du, can you tell me about Mr. Song's background? At least don't let me know which temple to worship." "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, I really don't know," Du Yan said helplessly "You also saw it at the time. This was an instruction directly given by Secretary Li. I am still confused now. But now that the task has been assigned, I will accompany the two leaders and try my best to remove the damage done to us before." Let¡¯s save some of the impact on Pingling¡¯s image.¡± ¡°Okay, okay¡± The fat fat on Liu Laofang¡¯s face trembled slightly. Although he was still smiling, the way he looked at Du Yan changed slightly. Gotta be a little more serious. He didn't expect that this young man, who was said to have officially assumed the position of Li Peizheng's secretary today, would be such an insufferable boss. He had been clinging to the county bureau's issues from the beginning, and was incapable of talking or doing anything. It was really difficult to deal with. He didn't know whether this was Du Yan's excuse to shirk responsibility, or whether Li Peizheng was planning to take advantage of this incident to give him a blow. However, if it weren't for the fact that Mr. Song seemed to have a good background, Liu Laofei wouldn't be very serious about it. Panic, after all, Li Peizheng is a migrant, and it is not easy to easily touch him, the top leader of the County Public Security Bureau. Wu Shenzheng, who was sitting aside, looked at Du Yan with a slight change in his expression. Before, he just thought that maybe Du Yan was just lucky. Now he found out that this young man in his early twenties, who had just graduated from school, could be selected by Li Peizheng as his secretary. Maybe it's not just luck. A policeman who had been guarding outside hurriedly walked into the box and whispered a few words to Wang Lianyi. After hearing this, Wang Lianyi immediately stood up and reported to Liu Laofei: "Director, Mr. Song's car has arrived outside. Look. " Liu Laofang nodded. He glanced at Wu Shenzhong. Although Wu Shenzhong was incomparable to him in terms of actual power, now that Wu Shenzhong was obviously representing the county committee, the job of welcoming guests could only be left to him. It's on him. "Du Mi, let's go pick him up together. Why don't you stand on a bush and apologize, haha" Liu Laofei said nonchalantly. "Okay, just follow Bureau Liu's orders." Du Yan smiled slightly and stood up. Although he didn't like Liu Laofa, and he really wanted to take the opportunity to beat this local snake in Pingling, Du Yan didn't care about some little tricks. . Wang Lianyi had already gone downstairs to greet the guests. Du Yan and Liu Laofei could be a little more reserved, but he couldn't. ¡°Perhaps he had a good rest, Song Jiayi¡¯s energy seemed better than in the morning, but Miss Ou next to him, although she had changed her clothes,? He seemed to be slightly tired, which made Liu Laofei have a meaningful smile on his face. At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart that maybe he should arrange some more interesting activities for Mr. Song, so that things might be more interesting. Easy to handle. Looking at Du Yan walking down the steps to greet him, Song Jiayi stretched out his hands. "Du Mi, it seems we are going to bother you now," Song Jiayi shook hands with Du Yan vigorously. When he turned to Liu Laofei, although the smile on his face did not change, his arms were only slightly stretched forward. It looked as if Mr. Liu was rushing to shake hands with him. "Director Liu must be very busy this afternoon." Song Jiayi's words made Mr. Liu secretly angry. Of course he knew that Song Jiayi was alluding to what happened during the day, and From his words, Liu Laofei could tell that this man obviously didn't want to let the matter rest. It seems that whether it is Mr. Song or Li Peizheng, if the County Public Security Bureau does not give a satisfactory answer, the matter will not end like this. Du Yan looked at Song Jiayi strangely. Song Jiayi's businessman's smoothness during the day made him feel that this person was not just relying on his background and backing, but now he was aggressive as soon as he got off the car, but he also showed the arrogance and domineeringness of a playboy, which made Du Yan I couldn't help but feel strange about this man's fickleness, and I couldn't help but be a little cautious secretly. "Haha, it's shameful for us to stand outside. Why don't we go in? I'm really hungry." Song Jiayi took Miss Ou's arm and talked to Du Yan while looking slightly at Liu Laofa. That meant asking the Tangtang County Public Security Bureau Chief to lead the way for him. Liu Laofa's originally dark and fat face turned dark red, not knowing whether it was because of anger or shame, but he still greeted Miss Ou and said in a half-hearted voice: "This carp resident, Mr. Song, is here today." This is my second visit, but I was really sorry for that time during the day. This time, on behalf of our Pingling County Bureau, I have to invite Mr. Song to come to Liyuju again and enjoy the friendship of the landlords. " "Director Liu is too polite, to put it bluntly. The public security in Pingling is generally good, and I have a very good impression of Pingling. We cannot let a few hooligans affect the performance of the entire Pingling public security front. , Song Jiayi didn't care about himself. After joking a few more casually with Mr. Liu, they went up to the second floor of Liyuju together. However, Du Yan found that Song Jiayi's driver was standing silently not far away from beginning to end. Although he looked like nothing special, Du Yan seemed to vaguely feel some restrained energy from his demeanor, which made him Song Jiayi's identity was more generally confirmed in his mind. Wu Shenzheng, who was already standing at the top of the stairs, walked up. After hearing Du Yan's introduction, Wu Shenzheng shook hands with Song Jiayi gently with a smile on his face, but in his heart he was secretly wondering why Li Peizheng wanted him to represent the county committee. Although in this matter, as the deputy director of the County Party Committee Office, it is indeed Wu Shenzhong¡¯s duty to comfort and express condolences on behalf of the County Party Committee to the person involved, but he will not simply understand this matter so slowly. What happened in Liyuju during the day alarmed the Pingling County Party Committee Secretary. By this time, it had already spread throughout Pingling officialdom, and the identity of Mr. Song aroused the curiosity of many people. This made Wu Shenzheng know that Li Peizheng For him to represent the Pingling County Committee at this time, it is more likely to forcefully demonstrate his relationship and background in front of him, Liu Laofei, and even the entire Pingling officialdom. In this way, Wu Shenzheng appeared to be more cautious. His attitude was cautious but decent. Even towards Miss Ou who was accompanying him, he did not appear to be disrespectful in the slightest. "Mr. Song, you are a guest, but we did not do our job well, which shocked you and Miss Ou. I hereby apologize to you on behalf of the relevant departments in Pingling." After sitting down, Wu Shen raised his wine glass solemnly. , when he spoke, his eyes glanced at Liu Laofei, who looked slightly hesitant next to him, but he knew that his stance at this time was much more important than taking care of Liu Laofei's mood, and speaking of it, Liu Laofei had real power, and he had always He didn't take much notice of him as the deputy director of the county party committee office, and there was no need for him to stand in the way of Liu Laofei and sell favors. "No, Director Wu is so polite," Song Jiayi said with a smile on his face, but the arrogance from his bones was not concealed at all, "I am here to do business, and then I will have to rely on Pingling's support. As a parent, I will ask Director Wu for help when the trouble comes. " "Yes, it should be. It is the responsibility of our county committee and county government to protect the construction of Pingling." Wu Shen nodded and smiled. , he could tell that although Song Jiayi spoke beautifully, she obviously didn't want to give Liu Lao face. Sure enough, after Song Jiayi finished speaking, he turned to look at??Old Fatty, although he didn't speak, the expression on his face said everything. Mr. Liu's dark and fat face may have turned dark red from drinking two glasses of wine. He stood up with a glass of wine and said, "Mr. Song, the people below the county bureau made mistakes in their work this time. Some people not only neglected their duties but even colluded." The evil forces have caused so much trouble to Mr. Song and even threatened guests. This is something we will never tolerate. We will definitely rectify the West Market Police Station, resolutely clean up the bad apples, and show no mercy to those involved. We are pure. "Thank you, Director Liu. The Pingling County Bureau did a good job." Song Jiayi raised his glass and took a sip, then frowned slightly. Miss Ou immediately picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, leaders, our President Song is not in good health, and his drinking capacity is too small. I will drink this glass of wine on behalf of our President Song. Thank you to the Pingling government for treating us." Sincerity." There was a hint of displeasure on Mr. Liu's face. Although Miss Ou said it tactfully, he felt a sense of anger at being slighted. After sitting down, except for the initial politeness, Du Yan didn't say much. He knew that it was not his time to show off yet, but when he heard Liu Laofei's words, Du Yan couldn't help being secretly surprised. He knew that Liu Laofei was so He said that Chen Guangfa must be punished to death. When he saw the expression of excitement on the face of Wang Lianyi, the acting director of the West Market Police Station next to him, because of Liu Laofei's words, Du Yan felt moved and then stood up. "Director Wang" "Duke, please don't call him that. I'm just an agent." Wang Lianyi stood up immediately with some excitement. Although Du Yan had also called him Director Wang before, but now in front of his boss and Wu Shen Shengmian is still called that, and Du Yan is the secretary of the new county party secretary. It seems that he is really a sure shot at being the director. Du Yan continued: "Director Wang, come, let's toast Mr. Song and Miss Ou together. Speaking of which, my original workplace was at the County Cultural Center. We two are the owners of the West Market. I can't help Mr. Song in the market." After hearing Du Yan's half-official and half-citizen words, Song Jiayi smiled interestingly, picked up the wine bottle on the table, filled himself a glass, and raised it. "I'm not a big drinker," Song Jiayi glanced at the embarrassed Liu Laofa next to him, "but I never lag behind others when drinking with friends. Let's put it this way, I'll give it a try. I'll finish this drink today. What's next?" Everyone is welcome." Song Jiayi raised his glass and drank it. Liu Laofei felt as if his face was on fire. He never expected that Song Jiayi would be so disrespectful to himself, the county police chief, in front of others, even his subordinates! In this way, Liu Laofei not only hated Song Jiayi to the core, but Du Yan and Wang Lianyi also hated him. Seeing Liu Laofei's slightly stern eyes, Du Yan knew that Liang Zi and Liu Laofei had become friends. Even Wang Lianyi next to him felt a little uneasy, but at this time the wine glass had been picked up and it was impossible to put it down. . When the spicy wine flowed into his throat, Du Yan's mind was extremely clear. He remembered that although Song Jiayi had an arrogant attitude during the day, he was not so sharp, but one afternoon, he seemed to be a completely different person. . Not only did he not give Liu Laofang any face, but he actually wanted to use himself to show Liu Laofa some color. This made Du Yan secretly wary of the sudden appearance of the well-established Mr. Song. Well, he felt he had to be careful. However, just as he was thinking this, a loud noise suddenly came from the next room. The sound of plates being smashed to the ground was heard, along with muffled curses. Liu Laofei stared at Wang Lianyi, who was sweating on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and asked fiercely: "What's going on? It seems that the security environment in the West Market is too bad. The problems in the institute are huge. We need to be serious." Straighten it up!" "Yes, Director, we must straighten it out seriously." Wang Lianyi's heart almost jumped out of his chest. He knew that being dragged along by Du Yan to toast Song Jiayi made Liu Laofei worried about him. The director has only been on the job for a few hours, and he is already worried about his immediate boss. The chaos next door made everyone in Pingling look embarrassed. As Liu Laofei slammed the table, Wang Lianyi could no longer sit still. But as soon as he stood up, the door of the box was slammed from the outside. open. With a strong smell of alcohol, a man with clothes askew and a large oil stain on his front stumbled in. His eyes, which were straight from drinking, were vaguely glanced around. When he saw Du Yan sitting diagonally facing the door, his eyes immediately turned red: "Who did I think was so crazy? It turned out to be Secretary Du .¡±  Seeing Feng Chao appearing at the door smelling of alcohol, Du Yan almost burst into laughter. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Secretary Du wants to show off his power? "Secretary Du, you are celebrating your promotion. Are you too anxious? This is all you can achieve? What's the matter? You are quite proud of taking someone else's job." Drunk-eyed Feng Chao glanced at the people at the table, and finally he His eyes fell on Miss Ou. "Oh, you have found such a beautiful girl. Secretary Du will be very happy." "Feng Chao, this is not the place for you to act wild." Du Yan said coldly. . "What are you doing!" Wang Lianyi grabbed Feng Chao's arm, but Feng Chao, who had drunk too much, seemed to be much stronger than usual. He shook Wang Lianyi away, raised his finger, pointed at Du Yan and yelled: "Who do you think you are?" You thing! Don¡¯t think that you are just a person when you become the secretary of the county party committee secretary. I am not afraid of you!¡± ¡°Feng Chao, what are you doing if you drink too much?¡± Wu Shenzheng¡¯s face was so ugly that it looked like he could squeeze out water. His face was dark. He stared at Feng Chao who was standing at the door and had not recognized him. At this time, he even wanted to bite Feng Chao a few times if he could. "Who are you? You are shouting like a chicken," Feng Chao staggered a step forward, but his arm was immediately grabbed by Wang Lianyi next to him. With a skillful move of his elbow and pressing his wrist, Feng Chao climbed up. At the edge of the table. At the same time, he finally saw clearly who was scolding him. His mouth slowly grew bigger, and finally his voice changed slightly and said, "Uncle, why is it you? Why are you here" "Don't call me uncle, I didn't You're such a nephew!" Wu Shenzheng interrupted Feng Chao angrily. As he spoke, he walked around the table and walked to Feng Chao. He waved his arm and slapped Feng Chao hard. "Pop!" A red slap mark was already visible on the left side of his face. "Go back to your house and sober up. You are a worthless thing. After a few glasses of wine, you won't know what nonsense you are talking about!" Although Wu Shenzheng scolded him, when he said this, his eyes quickly glanced at Du Yan. Seeing Du Yan sitting there with a calm expression as if it had nothing to do with him, Wu Shen's heart sank again. "Uncle, I" "Stop talking, go home! Look what you are like, go home and let me take care of you!" Wu Shenzhen said in a stern tone, then looked at Feng who was still holding on with a wry smile on his face. Chao Wang Lianyi, of course his pretentiousness could not be concealed from the people present. His words sounded like a scolding, but they were obviously meant to excuse Feng Chao. Although they didn't know what Chao said, everyone in the room knew that the person who suddenly broke in was obviously targeting Du Yan. Liu Laofei couldn't help but show a hint of pride in his eyes. The embarrassment Du Yan had caused him before, at this time It doesn't seem so uncomfortable anymore. A louder noise rang out from the corridor, and several figures came out of the next room noisily. They crowded to the door of the box while making a fuss, but the people walking in front immediately recognized Wu Shenzheng standing at the door. "Director Wu?" A little man was startled for a moment, then greeted Wu Shenzhen with a smile, "What a coincidence, Director Wu, you are also eating here. We just talked about you with Feng Chao, you know Feng Chao is in a bad mood today. I don¡¯t know where a short-sighted person came from to take advantage of Feng Chao¡¯s business. The brothers are discussing whether to find an opportunity to deal with that kid" "Shut up!" Wu Shen said. He scolded like thunder, pointing at the little man who was at a loss for a moment, staring at Feng Chao with a livid face, and said: "Look, look, this is your friend! Who do you think you are? Or are you? A brat who didn't leave school to fight? " Feng Chao, who had sobered up, looked at Wu Shenzheng's ugly face, and then looked at Du Yan, who was sitting there and ignoring him, and was breaking out in cold sweats. out. He knew that his uncle said this to free himself from responsibility, so he immediately lowered his head like a child, and even pouted slightly. That look reminded Du Yan of a word often mentioned by people in later generations. "Pretend to be young" "Mr. Song, Miss Ou, I'm really sorry, this bastard is my nephew, look at this, ugh" Wu Shenzhong shook his head sadly, but it was obvious that he wanted to Feng Chao took his appearance at the banquet as a drunken act, and as for what he said to Du Yan, I believe no one would point it out to his face to embarrass him. "Director, what do you think?" Wang Lianyi looked at Liu Laofei, waiting for his order. "Since he is Director Wu's nephew, forget about drinking too much. There is no need to make such a big fuss." Liu Laofei chuckled, glancing at Du Yan slightly from the corner of his eyes, and at the same time looked at the man who had been watching all this. Song Jiayi couldn't help but laugh in her heart. You kid just pretended to be a bigot. Look, retribution will come immediately. Someone will come and step on your face. Wang Lianyi let go of Feng Chao's wrist and smiled when he saw Liu Laofei picking his teeth with a toothpick.Son-in-law, he knew that Liu Laofei obviously wanted to stay out of it, and perhaps wanted to see Du Yan make a fool of himself. "Du Mi, this bastard drank too much, don't get along with him." Wu Shen looked at Feng Chao. He knew that this matter would eventually fall on Du Yan, but he believed that Du Yan should do the same on this occasion. Not too much. Du Yan smiled slightly, and his eyes fell on the few people crowded at the door. Two of them he knew, they were usually close to Du Yan, and they were from the county cultural center and other units. At this time, some of them had already seen Du Yan sitting in the back seat. Their faces suddenly became ugly, and two of them were still dodging and preparing to hide behind. "Director Wu, it's okay if Feng Chao drinks too much," Du Yan said lightly, "But what about those people behind you, you also drank too much?" As soon as Du Yan said these words, Wu Shenzheng's expression suddenly changed. He didn't say anything. Thinking that Du Yan was so disrespectful to him, he believed that Li Peizheng asked him and Du Yan to come together to entertain Song Jiayi today. In addition to settling the matter, he should also take the opportunity to win over him. But now he sees that Du Yan is so unreasonable. If so, Wu Shenzheng couldn't help but wonder whether Du Yan was arrogant when he succeeded, or whether there was some intention of Li Peizheng in this. And what Du Yan wants is precisely Wu Shenzheng¡¯s suspicion and scruples! Du Yan knew that even if he had to be careful, he could never be looked down upon. Especially at this time, Du Yan could let Feng Chao go in the name of being drunk, but he could never let everyone go without any principle, otherwise He can only leave a weak impression on others. Once this impression is left, cats and dogs may soon come to cause trouble. In many local struggles, there are not so many worries, and it is more about hand-to-hand combat! "Du, Secretary Du, I, I didn't know it was you." The arrogant little man before now also knew from the reminders of the people next to him that the young man in front of him was Du Yan, whom he had just shouted to find a chance to clean up. , he spoke awkwardly and incoherently while looking at Wu Shenzhen with pleading eyes, but Wu Shenzheng obviously didn't want to speak up for him. "You didn't know it was me, so you were looking for an opportunity to deal with me? Now that you know I'm here, what are you going to do?" Du Yan had a smile on his face, and then his expression slowly turned serious "Which unit are you from? "I'm from the County Agricultural Machinery Bureau." The little man almost cried. He never expected that when he went out to drink with Feng Chao, he would meet the guy who was said to have taken over Feng Chao's position. Feng Chao was young, but perhaps it was the aura that came naturally after becoming the secretary of the county party committee. The little man almost wanted to slap himself in the face. "It seems that you are a little dissatisfied with me, but this is not the place for you to give me opinions. You can come to the county party committee compound later and tell me directly if you have any opinions." Du Yan calmly looked at the little man's eyes. Then his face darkened slightly, "You all go out now! Didn't you see that the county leaders were entertaining guests?" Du Yan's words made several people turn around and rush out of the box as if they had heard an amnesty. For a moment, only Feng Chao was left. Neither leaving nor staying, he looked at Wu Shenzheng, the sweat on his face looked like it had just been in a sauna. "What's disgusting is that Du Yan actually turned around to talk to Song Jiayi, leaving him alone and ignoring him. Wu Shenzheng gritted his teeth and glared at Feng Chao, who was in a daze. He waved his hand. Feng Chao immediately turned around and ran away. In his haste, he hit the half-open door with a muffled "bump" sound. He rushed out as if he could lift it up. "Mr. Song, you are really laughing," Du Yan said to Song Jiayi, "This is so disappointing." "It doesn't matter, we have eaten too," Song Jiayi always had a smile on his face, which was not concealed. Indeed, as Du Yan said, he was just watching a joke. "Director Wu, Director Liu, we understand the sincerity of Pingling. We will inevitably trouble you when we do business here in the future, and we will need your strong support when the time comes." " What President Song said, is it our duty to protect the construction of Pingling?" Liu Laofei stood up and shook hands with President Song. Although these words were indeed his lines originally, he would not have beaten Wu before they changed. Shen Shen said before, but with Feng Chao making such a fuss, Wu Shen was worried for a while, and Liu Laofei naturally proudly replaced him as the representative of Pingling: "If there is any need for our Public Security Bureau in the future, Song Just make a call and we will help you solve the problem as soon as possible and serve the people, hehehe. "In this case, I won't bother you anymore," Song Jiayi walked around the table and walked to Wu Shenzheng with a helpless smile on his face. Shake hands with him gently, "Director Wu, even if we know each other now, I won't cause any trouble for you in the future." "Mr. Song, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."  Wu Shenzheng knew that anything he said at this time would be in vain. Whether it was Liu Laofei who was watching the show or Du Yan who couldn't figure out the details, nothing he said was appropriate. After shaking hands with Wang Lianyi, Song Jiayi finally walked up to Du Yan. "Brother Du, I don't have any merits. I just like to make friends." Song Jiayi tilted her head slightly and looked at Du Yan interestingly. "If possible, the two of us can move around more in the future." "As long as Mr. Song comes to Pingling, Don't forget to call me when the time comes. I can't afford to pay for the delicious food. I can't afford the simple meal." Hearing that Song Jiayi didn't call him Du Mi, Du Yan said in the same casual tone. For a moment, it seemed like he was just a friend he had just met. , and nothing else is involved. When several people walked out of Liyuju one after another and came to the door, the boss of Liyuju was already waiting respectfully at the door. For him, the hassle during the day was not a bad thing, but a blessing in disguise. After hearing what happened in the box, he immediately and tactfully asked all the waiters to stay away from the right and wrong in the box on the second floor. The most taboo thing about conflicts between leaders is for outsiders to see them. Watching Song Jiayi's car disappear into the distance, Liu Laofei burped and Wu Shenzheng shook hands with Du Yan briefly before leaving alone. From beginning to end, he paid little attention to Wang Lianyi, who was standing beside him and was a little confused. It seemed that he was interested in Wang Lianyi's attitude at the banquet clearly had a grudge. But he was in a bad mood before this meal, but now he looked like he was trying to put a smile on his face for others to see. Wang Lianyi also left afterwards. He probably had a mixture of joy and sorrow that night and couldn't sleep well. Wu Shenzheng stood on the steps at the door of Liyuju and frowned slightly. The passivity caused by Feng Chao's commotion made him feel unspeakably awkward. What worried him even more was that he didn't know Du Yan's kind of behavior. Did his attitude come from Li Peizheng's instruction? "Director Wu, since there's nothing else, I'll go back first," Du Yan said calmly. He said hello to Wu Shenzheng, then turned and walked down the steps. Then he seemed to remember something and turned back to Wu Shenzheng and said, "By the way, Director Wu, please." Please tell Feng Chao to be careful when making friends in the future. It will be useless if he has too many contacts with the person from the County Agricultural Machinery Bureau." After saying that, Du Yan smiled slightly and turned around and walked towards his home. Wu Shenzhong took a deep breath and walked slowly on the road, while thinking about Du Yan's words. A dark figure appeared in front of Wu Shenzheng on the roadside. Looking at his nephew who was now fully awake and nervous, Wu Shenzheng sighed softly. "Uncle, what did Du Yan say? Does he want to not let me go?" Feng Chao had woken up at this time. When he remembered what he had said to Du Yan before, he felt waves of fear. Although his uncle is the deputy director of the county party committee office, after all, Du Yan is the secretary of the county party committee secretary. Feng Chao, who is closely following Wu Shenzhong, knows very well that if Du Yan really wants to torment him at this time, it will be difficult for his uncle to help him. to fuck him. Seeing his nephew¡¯s nervous expression, Wu Shenzheng felt a little uncomfortable. He originally wanted to take the opportunity this time to make Feng Chao the new county party secretary and secretary, but something like this happened again, and maybe he even made a strong enemy for himself. Wu Shenzhong shook his head slightly. He asked Feng Chao to walk side by side with him on the road. After a while, he said, "Do you have a close relationship with that person from the Agricultural Machinery Bureau?" Feng Chao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Second Soldier? He and I only eat and drink on a daily basis, and our friendship is not very deep. How come" "Stop interacting with him," Wu Shenzheng said. "Du Yan may want to touch him." "Why do you touch Second Soldier? What's going on?" Feng Chao was a little confused. He didn't understand that he was the one who had the conflict with Du Yan, but why he wanted to touch others who later defended him. "You, please don't cause me any more trouble in the future," Wu Shenzheng sighed slightly, "Now that the new secretary has come to power, I don't know who to turn to, Li Wei. Anything can cause big trouble, you know?" Listen? When his uncle's tone became stern, Feng Chao nodded uneasily, but he couldn't help but asked: "But uncle, even if the second soldier helps me speak, Du Yan won't be able to mess with him." "You don't. I understand, Xiaochao," Wu Shen kicked a stone under his feet. "Secretary Li seems to still value me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let me go with Du Yan to receive Mr. Song today, but what you did today The stupid thing is to hurt Du Yan¡¯s face in front of him, and he is Secretary Li¡¯s new secretary. What¡¯s the difference between doing this and hurting Secretary Li¡¯s face? ¡°Ah?¡± Cold sweat immediately broke out again. He opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Wu Shenzheng raising his hand: "Du Yan can't suffer this loss, otherwise he will be in Pingling official position in the future."There would be no way to mess around, and Secretary Li would also have opinions about him if he knew about it. But if I touch you, after all, I still have this relationship, so the only one who is unlucky is the private. " "That's it," Feng Chao said blankly. He didn't expect that there were so many things involved. "I can't see that Du Yan is not simple. " "It's indeed not simple," Wu Shenzheng whispered, and then he turned around and said to Feng Chao who was following him, "Be more honest recently and don't get me into trouble. Du Yan let you go this time for a reason, but if you go too far, The more careful a person is, the more he thinks he can touch you, maybe even I won't be able to help you. " Just when Wu Shen was giving instructions to his nephew, Song Jiayi was sitting in the Santana car heading towards his residence, looking at a document in his hand. After a while, he raised his head and asked Miss Ou who was sitting in the passenger seat: " Xiaolan, what do you think of Pingling? " "Mr. Song, are you talking about the investment environment in Pingling itself, or your current plan? Ou Xiaolan turned slightly sideways, "Pingling doesn't have any advantages now, but it will definitely be different if the plan comes true." " "Well, this place is a bit interesting," Song Jiayi looked at the dark mountain road outside through the car window. At this time, Santana had already left the county town and drove towards the mountains. "It's a bit interesting." " Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Night Talk That evening, Li Peizheng visited Ding Bingxian in the name of playing chess. However, in that game of chess, apart from the chariot, horse and artillery, the two of them took a few steps at the beginning, but they did not make a move until Li Peizheng left. Throughout the night, Li Peizheng was listening to Ding Bingxian's introduction to Pingling. However, Ding Bingxian always adhered to the duty of saying one thing and another. He also explained some hearsay rumors in advance, and did not easily speculate on them. . This was indeed of great help to Li Peizheng. At least it gave him, an outsider, a small understanding of the general situation in Pingling. Speaking of which, the situation in Pingling is not very complicated. In the early 1990s, with the deepening of reform, as a city in an inland province with underdeveloped resources and transportation, Taihua has obviously lagged behind the development scale of coastal cities. As the most remote of the three counties and one district in Taihua City, Pingling is almost forgotten to a large extent. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the throne of County Party Committee Secretary is so attractive, many people wouldn¡¯t even think of such a place. And in Pingling County, the most powerful person now is undoubtedly the county magistrate Guo Songlin. Since the old secretary retired, Guo Songlin, who was very close to the old secretary, almost without any suspense accepted the original team left by the old secretary. He has become the representative of the largest force in Pingling, and among the nine standing committee members of the county committee, except for the Minister of Armed Forces who, as usual, does not easily get involved in local issues and is relatively neutral, it can be said that they are all Guo Songlin's people. As for Tu Xiangdong, director of the County Party Committee Office who holds real power even though he is at the bottom of the Standing Committee, he was the old secretary and is now recognized as Guo Songlin's loyal subordinate. This news is very bad for Li Peizheng. As a newly appointed secretary of the county party committee, if he cannot control his own county party committee director well, then not only will he not be able to leave the county party committee compound according to the decree, he may not even be able to leave his office. go. This made Li Peizheng really feel the difficulty of not being able to start the work. If he had come to Pingling because of its remoteness, and later simply because he had not fully understood the difficulties involved in serving in a monolithic place with local officials, now he already felt that he seemed to be trapped in a huge whirlpool. middle. Li Peizheng had political ambitions, or ambitions. He made the idea of ??serving as an official to benefit one party come true. He also wanted to leave his mark on the place where he served. However, in this way, he knew that he would inevitably have to fight with Guo Songlin. In other words, the local forces in Pingling are competing head-on. "Bingxian, have you ever thought about going out to work again?" Li Peizheng and Ding Bingxian asked tentatively while sitting under the grape trellis of Ding's house while drinking tea. "Am I not working under the leadership of your Secretary Li?" Ding Bingxian laughed. "I mean, come out again," Li Peizheng did not let Ding Bing sneak past, but simply made it clear, "Bingxian, others don't understand you, but I understand you. You are not like this. Do you really think you can do it in peacetime?" I want to stay in a quiet place like Lingxong for the rest of my life. I really don¡¯t want to do anything anymore.¡± ¡°What else can I do? My son is already so old,¡± Ding Bingxian looked at Ding Hongwei in the room through the window, a trace of kindness flashed in his eyes. Politics, I'm afraid, one failure is enough. Politics is something I can't do. " Ding Bingxian served as the office director of the Taihua City Planning Commission in his early years. At that time, there was news that he was very good. He was about to be promoted to deputy director, but he suddenly lost his position for some unknown reason. Being transferred from the director of the Taihua City Planning Commission Office back to his hometown of Pingling Newsletter as the chief editor. This obvious demotion was obvious to everyone. This made Ding Bingxian depressed and never cheered up again. "But I think you are still unwilling to give in," Li Peizheng said, taking out the latest Pingling Newsletter from his bag. "Look at this article signed by Lao Ji discussing Pingling's economic development. Why do I look at and Is your writing style exactly the same? I am an old man with great ambitions. Bingxian, you are still not convinced." Hearing his old classmate's slightly teasing explanation of his purpose, Ding Bingxian sighed softly: "Pei Zheng, you also know that I was here. I am young and energetic, and I always think that I can do something for the country and the people, and live up to the life mission of the great young people of today. But you can see what happened to me in these years. Isn¡¯t he just a gangster? Everyone is ganging up. Compared with those corrupt people, I feel that I am noble.¡± ¡°Bingxian, that was before, but it¡¯s different now,¡± Li Peizheng was slightly excited, saying just now. The enthusiasm and natural strength of the newly appointed county party committee secretary made him disagree with Ding Bingxian's attitude of knowing destiny. "The country went through a turmoil before because of so much corruption, but now aren't we gradually changing? Do you have ambitions?" Ability, why do you want to be so depressed when you can¡¯t go out to work? What impact will you have on your children?Not bad. I think Hongwei is good. There's nothing wrong with letting him go out and try his luck. " Ding Bingxian looked at Li Peizheng, who was high-spirited and somewhat instructive, and just smiled softly: "Pei Zheng, as an old classmate, I still want to advise you. You are too straightforward and upright in doing things. This is a good thing, but sometimes If it's strong, it's easy to break. It's not impossible for you to ask me to come out. Even if it's for the sake of my old classmates, I will do this for you. But forget about taking up a position. What's more, didn't I recommend a talent to you? " "You mean Du Yan? "Li Peizheng smiled slightly, "This young man has a good mind and is very clever, but you say that he is too talented. I admit that the article he wrote is good, but after all, he is still too young. "Haha, when did you become so old-fashioned, Pei Zheng? We are just over forty," Ding Bingxian chuckled, "I think we came here the same way at the beginning, but to be honest, even I look down on Du Yan." . " "oh? "Li Peizheng was slightly startled. He knew that Ding Bingxian looked indifferent on the outside, but in his heart he was a proud man who relied on his talent. Now that he said this, he must have meant something. "Wait a minute," Ding Bingxian got up and returned to the house. After a while, I came back with another issue of the Pingling Newsletter: "If I were an examiner for Du Yan's article, I would give him a zero point based on the topic. But as an official in charge of economics, I would give him a zero mark for this article." As a framework for the regional economic development plan, the article can be used with a little polish. " Ding Bingxian's words surprised Li Peizheng. Of course, he knew Ding Bingxian better than others. He even knew that the reason why Ding Bingxian was not promoted to the position of deputy director when he was at the Taihua City Planning Commission was not because of his ability. No, it was precisely because of his superior ability that he caused trouble. "I remember that Du Yan majored in liberal arts. Does he understand economics? Li Peizheng, who had read Du Yan's files, asked strangely, "Do you think he has this expertise in economics?" " "Pei Zheng, Pingling is really monolithic now. Guo Songlin absolutely doesn't want to see anyone interfering, but since you are here, all he can do is try to preserve the situation in front of him," Ding Bingxian suddenly changed. Topic: "You have no foundation in Pingling, there are not many people who can help you, and Pei Zheng, you are only in your early forties this year, do you really just want to get involved in this kind of official strife?" You are the most ambitious person among our classmates. You shouldn't just keep mixing with them. " Ding Bingxian's words moved Li Peizheng slightly. Although many years of immersion in officialdom have made him calm, sometimes even almost indifferent, Ding Bingxian's words reminded him of himself when he was in his prime and passionate about writing many years ago. " Bingxian, where do you think I should start now? Li Peizheng asked after calming down. He knew that since Ding Bingxian said these words to him, he must have had some ideas. "You know, Sun Dewen and Guo Songlin, the deputy secretary of the county, can be said to be in the same boat. Nine people." Almost seven of the Standing Committee members are from their side. My job is not easy to do. " "So I said I found a talent for you," Ding Bingxian tapped the Pingling Newsletter with his fingers. "Pingling has been useless in economic construction over the years, but it is still stubborn. I think the city also It is precisely because of this that I am disappointed with the local officials, otherwise they would not have transferred you to Pingling, right? " Hearing Ding Bingxian's question, Li Peizheng smiled noncommittally. Although he was a good friend, he couldn't just reveal the city's original intention of mobilizing him to Pingling. Moreover, there was also an intention to test Ding Bingxian in the school. , let¡¯s see if he still has such a sensitive political sense after leaving the power department for a long time. ¡°If Pingling wants to develop and people¡¯s living standards need to improve, we need someone who can break the current dull situation. You are Peizheng. Most suitable for this kind of role. "Ding Bingxian's tone is still so calm and indifferent, as if he is not talking about the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in a county. "The current situation is not very bad for you. Speaking of which, as long as you make enough achievements in economic development, The situation has naturally opened up, so what do those other little things mean? " Li Peizheng thought about Ding Bingxian's words. He knew that Ding Bingxian spoke so directly because he had faded out of the political arena, but it was also because Ding Bingxian was on the outside that he saw things more clearly. "Du Yan, although this young man is a bit young, , but they are motivated and motivated," Ding Bingxian continued, "Pei Zheng, making good use of young people like this will be very helpful for you to open up the situation in Pingling, and your own ambitions can also be put to good use in Pingling. " Speaking of this, Ding Bingxian stood up and looked at the slightly decayed factory area of ??Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory in the distance in the night and sighed softly: "The people in Pingling are suffering. After decades of liberation, reform and opening up.After more than ten years, why are the people's lives still so miserable? Pei Zheng, if you serve as an official for one term, you don't want to end up feeling guilty. " Li Peizheng's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Ding Bingxian, who seemed indifferent and lonely, but seemed to be suppressing his heart. He couldn't help but think of the failure of Ding Bingxian's career many years ago, who had a promising future. After the two were silent for a long time, Li Peizheng sighed softly: "Bingxian, come out and work. "Although he did not give Li Peizheng an answer in the end, when he sent Li Peizheng away and sat alone under the grape trellis, looking at the two Pingling newsletters on the table, Ding Bingxian suddenly picked up a pen and wrote in the margin of the page: "This is As a noble son, he loves talents all his life. Feeling the need to serve the country, I drew my sword and picked up the pole" In the office on the west side of the Pingling County Party Committee and County Government Building, County Magistrate Guo Songlin sat behind the large desk and listened to his secretary Xiao Wang talking about what happened in Liyuju the day before. Like Li Peizheng, Guo Songlin has just turned 40 this year and is considered to be in the prime of life among county-level cadres in Taihua City. Before Li Peizheng came, he had every hope that he would succeed after the old secretary retired. But with Li Peizheng's sudden airdrop, Guo Songlin's calculations were naturally shattered. If he said that he had no resentment towards Li Peizheng because of this, no one would believe it. When talking about the matter, Secretary Xiao Wang¡¯s tone was inevitably mixed with the meaning of fanning the flames. ¡°County Magistrate, that Du Yan is too arrogant. He didn¡¯t give Director Wu face on his first day. It¡¯s said that he didn¡¯t give face to Director Wu. He is also very arrogant in front of Director Liu, and does not take Director Liu, the director of the County Public Security Bureau, into consideration at all. It seems that Secretary Li only sees people like that. " Xiao Wang looked at his boss's silent expression and whispered from the side: "I think if this continues, Secretary Li won't be able to stay in Pingling for long. " "Don't talk nonsense. It's taboo to talk about leaders casually, you know? "Guo Songlin frowned slightly and scolded Xiao Wang, but Xiao Wang, who had been following him for a while, could see from his expression that it was obviously not what his boss meant. "Yes, you are right to criticize. But Secretary Li doesn't know much about our Pingling, and you always have to take care of the final big things. " Xiao Wang did not forget to take a picture while reviewing. A slight smile appeared on Guo Songlin's expressionless face. Although it disappeared immediately, Xiao Wang had already guessed that he was not wrong. "Secretary Li just came here and was not aware of the situation. It's normal to be familiar," Guo Songlin said slowly, "Let's go and invite Director Tu over. He should advise Secretary Li on some matters. " "Okay, County Magistrate, I'll do it right now. "Xiao Wang immediately nodded and walked out of the office. Just when Tu Xiangdong walked into Guo Songlin's office, in the room on the other wing of the building, Li Peizheng was also listening to Du Yan's report. When he heard Wu Shenzheng's nephew broke into the box to make trouble The expression on Li Peizheng's face fluctuated slightly, but then he regained his composure. "You handled it well, Xiao Du," Li Peizheng nodded lightly. In fact, he had already received a call from Qu Xiangshan, deputy secretary of Taihua City, in the morning. There seemed to be a few casual remarks, but the last sentence was the key: "Mr. Song called me last night. He said that the food at Liyuju in Pingling is good. Lao Li, I will come over one day when I have a chance. Give it a try too. " These words finally put the worries that Li Peizheng had been thinking about the night before finally at ease. Although Du Yan had given him a brief report on the phone the night before, but now that he heard the detailed story, Li Peizheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought. " Secretary Li, if there's nothing else, I'll go out first. " Du Yan asked gently after refilling Li Peizheng's teacup. Seeing Li Peizheng nodding, he turned and walked out the door. "Xiao Du," Li Peizheng suddenly stopped Du Yan who was walking to the door, "I remember you. Are you a graduate of Shanghai University? " "Yes, Secretary Li, a graduate of Shanghai University in the 1990s. " Du Yan nodded, but Li Peizheng didn't say anything more. He just made a gesture to show that it was okay. This made Du Yan feel a little strange why Li Peizheng asked these questions. After Du Yan walked out, Li Peizheng took something from the desk drawer. A somewhat messy document came out. The handwriting on the document was quite messy, and some places had been altered and marked. However, if you look carefully, you can still see the title printed on the document, which seemed to be Du Yan's before. The essay published in Pingling Newsletter, but next to the title of the essay, there were some scrawled notes and a series of question marks. Looking at the article that he took out and read carefully after returning home the night before, Li Peizheng couldn't help but read it. Admit it, Ding Bingxian¡¯s words make sense. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Investigating Daqing Township In the early 1990s, the country had not yet implemented the process of withdrawing villages and merging them into towns. Townships, large and small, were scattered in the administrative area of ??less than 2,000 square kilometers in Pingling. Daqing Township was located on a hilly land not far from Pingling County. . According to Li Peizheng's plan, he did not plan to go to the countryside for investigation very early before coming to Pingling. Although he was indeed eager to start work, rushing to the countryside as soon as he took office would give people a sense of disrespect for his predecessor. A sense of distrust in previous jobs. Although he has retired, the influence of the old secretary in Pingling is unquestionable, and the old secretary has not completely retired. In the position of director of the County People's Congress, the old secretary seems to be "sitting on the tower and watching the mountain scenery" at all times. This put a lot of pressure on Li Peizheng. However, after arriving in Pingling, Li Peizheng realized that things were more complicated than he thought. The monolithic situation among local officials in Pingling was very serious. Although he had only had general contact with the work in the past few days, he had already discovered that the situation here was People seem to have a deep resistance to him. This may be the general local attitude towards foreign cadres, but Li Peizheng does not want to remain in a stalemate like this. For him, the past few years in Pingling are critical moments. Whether he can do enough homework and achieve proud political achievements will lay the foundation for the future. , it depends on the efforts of the past few years. ¡°And he can also feel that if he just wastes his time in the county party committee compound, there is no solution. It is best to go out by himself, and maybe there will be some unexpected gains. Sitting in the passenger seat of the car, Du Yan looked at Li Peizheng in the back seat with his eyes closed and concentrating through the reflector. He knew that this was Li Peizheng's first time going to the countryside for research, so he asked the driver, Lao Huang, to check the jeep carefully in advance. . Although Pingling is a poor county, there are still a few vehicles allocated by the county committee and county government, but they are quite old. In addition to the car dedicated to the secretary and county magistrate, there are also several jeeps on both sides, including several secretaries and deputy officials. It is shared by the county magistrate. Because he had to go to the countryside for research, Du Yan specifically asked Li Peizheng for instructions and chose a jeep. Feeling the hot smell in the car, Du Yan couldn't help but think of the increasingly crazier car replacement trend in government departments in the following years. It seemed that there was a Japanese off-road vehicle. It has become the favorite of some local governments. For a time, luxury Japanese cars have become a symbol of competition between local governments, especially some remote counties and cities. When I think of those Japanese luxury off-road vehicles racing everywhere on the road, I also think of the passionate boycotts. After the wave of Japanese goods, what followed was an even crazier farce of local governments purchasing Japanese cars. Du Yan couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Daqing Township is one of the wealthier among the nineteen townships in the four towns of Pingling. According to Ding Bingxian¡¯s previous introduction, Li Peizheng already knew that the reason why life here was relatively good was simply because the hometown of a county magistrate a few years ago was here. During that county magistrate's term, Daqing Township took the opportunity to apply for a moderate sum of money to pave a low-grade dirt road from the township directly to the county highway. It's very difficult to walk, but compared to other places it's pretty good. With this road, some local products in Daqing Township can be transported out, which makes life in Daqing Township much better than in other places, especially the green apples in Daqing Township, which are large in size, good in color, and chewy. It tastes like a rustling sweetness, and is often seen in the market in Pingling County. The jeep was wandering back and forth on the dirt road. Li Peizheng had been reading some information about Daqing Township. Du Yan paid careful attention to the road. Although this road was better than other places, it had rained a few days ago, so the road surface was There is water in some places on the road, and cars sometimes slip when driving on it. Du Yan gently reminded Lao Huang to drive the car more steadily. The moment he spoke to Lao Huang from the side, two figures suddenly appeared from the woods on the roadside. As Lao Huang stepped on the brakes hard, the three people in the car The individual's body fell forward involuntarily! Du Yan¡¯s forehead hit the front window of the car, while Li Peizheng climbed directly onto the back of the front seat. "What's going on with you! You're looking for death!" Lao Huang shouted to the two people who rushed over with his face red. This was the first time he encountered such a thing while driving for the county party secretary. He felt indescribably disgusted. Two young men came over. They were carrying common baggage when going out. They were dressed as if they were from nearby villages. The two young men seemed to be too frightened because they were almost hit by a car, but they couldn't care less. Huang cursed loudly, and if he stopped for a moment, he would run across the kilometer to the trail on the other side. "You two bastards, stop here!" An old voice came to mind from the woods. Following the shout, several people rushed out. Seeing these people, the two young men immediately turned around and ran away, but in front of them An elderly man had already ordered the few people who followed him to surround them. "You two bastardsI am so hardened that I dare not to listen to my second grandpa. "A sturdy middle-aged man went up and slapped one of the young people. "I won't let you run away. You are very brave and dare to climb over the wall." " During this period of panic, the old man who was well acquainted with him despite his age had already noticed the jeep. He looked at the license plate carefully and immediately stopped the actions of those who wanted to tie people up with ropes. Then he When I walked to the car, I looked at it first, and then a smile appeared on my face. ¡°It¡¯s Driver Huang. Which leader are you sending for inspection? Why didn¡¯t you inform me in advance? " This road only leads to Daqing Township. The cars that have already arrived here are of course heading for Daqing Township. That's why the old man said this. "Secretary Chen, what are you doing? Are you trying to scare us to death? . "Lao Huang got out of the car and muttered, then he quietly looked back and winked at Party Secretary Chen, "It's Secretary Li in the car, come over quickly. " "Secretary Li, which Li" Secretary Chen was stunned for a moment. After taking a closer look at the person sitting behind the car, he suddenly recognized that this was the new county party secretary who had attended the county party committee meeting a few days ago. "Hey, Secretary Li, we don't know why you are here or what you said. "Secretary Chen immediately walked up and opened the car door, but although his attitude was very respectful, he didn't show much uneasiness. Even after Li Peizheng got off the car, when he talked to Li Peizheng, his waist was very straight, and Unlike some township cadres, Li Peizheng had already bent down when he saw the county party committee secretary. After getting out of the car, he shook hands slightly with Secretary Li and saw those people pushing the two young people back. One of them was struggling. The fierce one even tied his wrists with a rope, and his eyebrows couldn't help but frown. "What's going on, Secretary Li?" What law did they break? Li Peizheng asked in a low voice. He knew that Chen Laogan was the uncle of the former county magistrate. In fact, except for a few residents in Daqing Township, most of them were surnamed Chen. The Chen family in Daqing Township was considered a prominent family. The joke was indeed very funny. When he heard Li Peizheng's inquiry, he turned around and led the way without hesitation and said with a smile: "It's nothing about Secretary Li, it's all trivial matters in our village. These unruly little kids must be disciplined. No, they won't go to heaven. "Seeing that Chen Laogan didn't take Li Peizheng's inquiry seriously at all, Du Yan couldn't help but feel his heart move. Although the decision to investigate Daqing Township was a little hasty, it was decided two days in advance. Du Yan didn't believe that this was the usual practice. No one in the county notified Daqing Township of the planned trip to the countryside for research in advance. In many cases, the so-called not to disturb the local area was more of an attitude. In fact, it was impossible for Li Peizheng's itinerary not to be known to others. But now it seems that Daqing Township has really not received any news, which makes Du Yan vaguely guess that there may be some mystery in it, or someone wants to watch the joke on both sides. At this time, Li Peizheng also realized something. After being immersed in officialdom for many years, he already had a deep understanding of the sinister nature of people's hearts. Looking at Chen Laojie's indifferent look, and looking at the people in the distance who didn't seem to know who they were at all, they still escorted the two young people away. , Li Peizheng felt an indescribable feeling of powerlessness in his heart. Then a sense of fighting spirit arose spontaneously: "Why? Li Peizheng's face became even more gloomy. "Secretary Chen, you are the secretary of the township party committee. I don't think you understand that private detention is illegal?" Even if you really break the law, you must follow the procedures. " At this moment, Chen Laogong looked at Li Peizheng in astonishment. He seemed to not understand why he had broken the law. Looking at the gloomy face of the county party secretary, his dry mouth moved, and finally he said: " These two boys wanted to escape when the harvest was about to begin. I, the secretary, stopped them. They refused to listen and even jumped over the wall and ran away. Why couldn't I arrest them! " After talking about it, Chen Laogan's voice became louder, which also attracted the attention of several people in the distance. Seeing that something was wrong, Du Yan immediately walked up. Although he didn't know much about the situation in Daqing Township, he He had also heard that because the former county magistrate was from Daqing Township, people in Daqing Township always felt that they were superior to others. The Chen Laogan in front of him was even more so because he was the clan uncle of the county magistrate at that time. It was said that even if he faced The county magistrate also dared to slam the table and the bench. "Secretary Chen, Secretary Li is asking about your situation. Please pay attention to your attitude," Du Yan reminded in a low voice, and raised his eyebrows when he saw Chen Laogan. Wanting to get angry, he continued to whisper, "Secretary Chen, please pay attention to party discipline. If you have any opinions, you can raise them later. " Chen Laogan's raised eyebrows slowly fell down. He looked back at the villagers not far away who were staring here, and shouted loudly: "Go back, if there is anything good to see, go back and show it to Mayor Long. Send a letter saying that Secretary Li of the county party committee has come to inspect and ask the township party committee to be summoned immediately.Let's go to the township office. " Then he hesitated for a moment and continued: "Let those two bastards go and let their parents take care of them. Then the second grandfather comes out and breaks their legs. " Listening to Chen Laogan's shouting with a gun and a stick, Li Peizheng was not very angry. At this time, he had already thought about some of the problems. He thought that no one informed Daqing Township, but it was someone in the county who was ready to take the opportunity to provoke him. The conflict with Daqing Township, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to see Chen Laojie's good looks. Li Peizheng couldn't help but look back at Du Yan who immediately retreated to the side after saying those few words. If Li Peizheng needed to remind Chen. Even if the discipline of the Lao Gang Party can indeed destroy Chen Lao Gang's prestige, it is already very embarrassing for Li Peizheng. Du Yan's just words not only reminded Chen Lao Gang, but also cleverly maintained Li Peizheng's dignity. Prestige, which made Li Peizheng feel that although Du Yan was young, he was quite capable in doing things. What was rare was that he immediately backed away after reminding Chen Laojie. He knew how to abide by his duties as a secretary, which was better than many. The young man who had no idea how to behave when he was young seemed much calmer and more reliable. Coupled with Du Yan's previous reaction to Mr. Song's incident, in Li Peizheng's eyes, he felt that Du Yan was really a rare secretary talent. As for Ding Bingxian's previous reaction to Mr. Song. He said that Du Yan had unique insights in economic construction, but Li Peizheng didn't attach much importance to it, or he didn't recognize it. Under Chen Laogan's guidance, the jeep arrived at the township party committee compound. It was said to be the township party committee compound. Like the county, it was a joint office of the party committee and government. From a distance, he saw a group of people waiting on the steps. Two of them looked like they were rushing over. Du Yan was already sure that they must be from the county. Someone is up to something, and the people in Daqing Township have no idea that the county party committee secretary will suddenly come down to investigate this matter. Long Xiang is in his forties, and he should have nothing to think about at his age. He had no idea, so Mayor Long's attitude was much more peaceful than that of other township chiefs and deputy secretaries. But in this way, he and Chen Laogan stood in front of Li Peizheng, which seemed to be a bit like the Daqing Township team. The feeling of getting together to challenge the new county party committee secretary naturally made Li Peizheng feel bad, but he also knew that these township cadres were often well-known figures in the local area, especially in places like Daqing Township where ethnic groups live together. , It may be too much to compare Chen Laogan to a local emperor, but it is not much different to say that he is right. Sitting in the conference room and listening to Chen Laogan's report, Li Peizheng took the opportunity to seriously look at the cadres of Daqing Township. Knowing that someone in the county obviously did not notify Daqing Township on purpose, the purpose of doing so may be to let him see something or cause a conflict with this place. But even though he knew this, Li Peizheng could not stop just because he was afraid of a conflict. Ignore him, otherwise his reputation as a coward will make him even more untenable in Pingling. "What happened to those two villagers before? "Li Peizheng decided to take the initiative. "You mean Shuanzi and the others? "Chen Laogan frowned. Not to mention the new county party secretary, even when the old secretary was here, Chen Laogan would sometimes contradict him whenever he wanted. Of course, this had to do with his relationship with the previous county magistrate Chen. What's more important is that he is the oldest township secretary in Pingling. "The harvest is about to come, but those two bastards have to go out to work, and no one is harvesting the grain in the fields. They are delaying the harvest and paying the public grain by mistake. Who is to blame?" be magnanimous? " Chen Laogan was full of anger as soon as he opened his mouth. "Then you can't kidnap people casually," Li Peizheng said suppressing his anger, and asked based on what he remembered, "How many people are migrant workers in the countryside now? Are there no hands left to harvest the crops? " "A bunch of bastards are lazy and always run outside. The children today are not as practical as we used to be. "Chen Laogan said angrily. Listening to Chen Laogan's words, Du Yan, who was sitting next to Li Peizheng, frowned slightly. He knew that Chen Laogan might not understand today's young people, but in fact things are not that simple. . With the deepening of reform, in the early 1990s, more and more rural migrant workers left their hometowns where they had cultivated for many years and went to the outside world. At this time, this wave was just emerging, and migrant workers were new to them. However, Du Yan knew that this was not just a new and fashionable issue. It was just the beginning. The trend of migrant workers in the next few years would become more and more intense, which would lead to this situation. The reason is that in the early 1990s, the huge tax pressure that made farmers almost breathless naturally showed no problem. When the director of the township party office whispered to Chen Laogan, the meals had been prepared in the canteen. Afterwards, Chen Laogan said in his tough tone: "LiThe secretary must be hungry after running all the way. Let's talk while we eat. " Listening to Chen Laogong's tone of speaking to the leader, several township party committee members couldn't help but look at Li Peizheng's face. Li Peizheng smiled slightly. Although the contact was still short, he had gradually understood Chen Laogong's temper, so When Chen Laogan said this, he was not angry, or he felt that there was no need to care about it. The food was quite sumptuous, especially the green fruit wine brewed by Daqing Township. The aroma after opening the mud seal made people who are not addicted to alcohol. Li Peizheng couldn't help but cheer. The township cadres were very casual, and the initial restraint gradually faded away after a few glasses of wine. Although they didn't dare to drink with Li Peizheng, Du Yan and Lao Huang inevitably became a couple. Township cadres took turns to attack. Because Li Peizheng wanted to stay overnight in Daqing Township, Lao Huang could drink to his heart's content. Du Yan's drinking capacity was very small, no matter in his previous life or in this life, even though he drank that kind of green fruit wine. The drink didn't seem too strong, but as time went on, he began to feel uncomfortable in his stomach. After he couldn't bear it any longer, Du Yan had to excuse himself and left the meeting. When he filled up his stomach with water in the toilet near the township committee yard. While putting on his clothes, he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside a courtyard wall: "Shuanzi, let's not run away. If Grandpa Second catches us again, our legs will be broken." " Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 18 Chapter 18 The fragrance of green fruit and wine will not make you drunk "You want to keep it by yourself," a raging voice came from the other side of the wall. "I don't want to stay any longer. In order to let my brother get married, my sister even changed her marriage with someone else. We can't support ourselves by farming." Second Grandpa must be reasonable when he goes out to work. " "But Shuanzi, the land is being taken away right before our eyes. No one in the family can pay the grain in time. Second Grandpa must be crazy. Aren't there high officials from the county here today? I guess this is the case, right?¡± ¡°Bah!¡± the man named Shuanzi cursed angrily, ¡°Those officials know nothing about food and drink. We have worked so hard for a year and still have nothing left after paying taxes. What, how can we survive if we don¡¯t go out to work? Our Daqing Township is still good. Look at places like Shuangdui and Liuliji. Whoever is willing to pay for the food will pay for it. I will feed the family. This is serious. If you want to follow, you can follow. "If you don't want to, go back." "Shuanzi, don't worry, wait for me, let's sum it up" As the voices of the two people got farther and farther away, the outside gradually calmed down. Listening to the silence of the discussion outside the courtyard wall, Du Yan stood in the courtyard and pondered for a moment, then let out a soft sigh. After the rural reforms of the previous decade, rural policies in the early 1990s have begun to undergo some changes. In the 1980s, in order to encourage the development of diversified economies in rural areas, the country introduced some corresponding preferential policies. During that time, although the living standards in rural areas improved slowly, they were somewhat effective. But after entering the 1990s, with the changes in the country's rural economic policies, various taxes began to be imposed on farmers. In addition to the public grain that must be paid, a rural family has to bear more than 30 various assessed expenses a year. In some places, there are even more than 40 items. Such heavy pressure eventually forced many farmers in rural areas to leave their hometowns. The loss of manpower further increased the burden on rural areas, making various apportionments like a huge vicious circle. , intensifying. Du Yan sighed helplessly. He knew that the current burden on farmers was actually just the beginning. The most intense period would be a few years later. By that time, although it was too much to describe the countryside at that time as miserable, it was definitely nothing. A good prospect to cheer up. Back at the house, Du Yan saw that the driver, Lao Huang, was a little confused after drinking, but several township cadres continued to persuade him to drink. But what surprised Du Yan was that Li Peizheng also seemed to like that kind of green fruit wine, and he drank a few glasses of it before. "Secretary Du, why are you urinating? The green fruit wine from our Daqing Township is strong enough," a township cadre came over with a wine glass in his hand. This green fruit wine has a history." Listening to the chatter of several township cadres, Du Yan vaguely remembered that this green fruit wine really had some origins as they said. Unlike other places, Daqing Township is somewhat famous in Pingling and even Taihua as a whole, just because there was a high-ranking official here during the Ming Dynasty. It is said that this high official's family used to have a brewing workshop, and he relied on brewing to save money for his family to take exams. Eventually, he was able to make a fortune in high school and eventually became a governor. "This green fruit wine is made using a centuries-old method. Every family here knows how to make it. The taste is authentic and no worse than the wine in the city." A cadre whose voice sounded a little high because he drank too much. He didn't forget to shout, and it wasn't until Chen Laojiang let out a "hum" that he calmed down a little. Seeing that Li Peizheng had put down his wine glass and was just listening to them talking, but showing a hint of tiredness, Chen Laogan knew that it was almost done, so he asked the mayor Long to send the village cadres back, and asked Lao Huang, who was obviously a little drunk, to He helped him away, and then he said to Li Peizheng: "Secretary Li, there is no suitable house in the countryside. You can stay at my house tonight. My house is right opposite the valley entrance, and it is cool at night." Li Peizheng nodded, and he was also planning to spend the night He took the opportunity to have a good communication with Chen Laojie. Although Chen Laojie didn't seem to be very likable before, Li Peizheng knew that such people would sometimes not hide them. Chen Laogan's house is located in a very high position. You can see most of the town from the entrance of the courtyard. When you see your father taking the big cadres from the county home, Chen Laogan's eldest son and his wife are standing there with their children in a restrained manner. At the entrance of the courtyard, waiting to welcome guests. "Ask your guest to prepare hot water for Secretary Li." Chen Laogong told his son dullly. After accompanying Li Peizheng into the hall, he invited Li Peizheng to sit down. "Old Chen, how many people are there in your family?" Li Peizheng asked casually. Hearing Li Peizheng's question, Chen Laogan's face suddenly turned a little ugly. After hesitating for a while, he finally said: "Two boys, the older one is following me at home now." "The younger son is not around? Li Peizheng asked with a smile. ¡°?Uncle asked me to drive him away. "Chen Laogan's granddaughter suddenly spoke. "What does a prodigal child know? Go back to your mother's house." Chen Laogan suddenly became angry. He glared at his daughter-in-law who was at a loss and said angrily. Then. He looked back at Li Peizheng, who looked slightly surprised, and sighed softly: "My second boy is disobedient. He insists on working outside with some idle boys in the village. I have told him this several times. He didn't listen either, and later he simply stopped coming, and he didn't know where he was. " "Just like the two villagers today during the day? "Li Peizheng frowned slightly. He already knew that Chen Laogan wanted to stop the two villagers during the day because more and more people in Daqing Township were going out. With the arrival of the busy farming season, as the township party secretary, The pressure to pay public grain on time certainly makes Chen Laoji uncomfortable, but even so, he still feels unhappy about Chen Laoji¡¯s rough working methods. ¡°You have to do a good job with the villagers, and you can use that method. Are they tied to the ground? "Li Peizheng asked kindly after taking a sip of tea, but even so, there was a hint of reproach in his expression. Chen Laojie showed a somewhat unhappy look. He opened his mouth as if to refute, but in the end he just shook his head and sighed. Angrily: "Secretary Li, you just came here and you don't know that our Pingling is poor and our Daqing Township is considered wealthy, but there are so many half-grown men in the village who still can't get a wife. Some of them just want to provide for their sons." If you want to marry a wife, you can only exchange marriages with others. Take the two boys during the day, for example. Brother Shuanzi is almost thirty, and if he hooks up with someone, he will ask for a gift of 5,000 yuan, or let Shuanzi's sister marry his son. Sister Shuanzi is only in her second year of junior high school, but what can she do? Where did her family get the 5,000 yuan gift? " Hearing this, Li Peizheng's original serious expression gradually became heavy. Although he knew that the current situation in Pingling was not optimistic, he only heard that the situation in the wealthy Daqing Township was so serious. Realizing what kind of situation he was facing, the atmosphere in the room felt a little heavy for a moment, and Du Yan said, "We in Daqing Township don't just rely on farming, do we have various side jobs? " "Secretary Du, you are talking about those mountain goods," Chen Laogan smiled bitterly, "How much are those things worth? " Du Yan smiled and said: "Old party secretary, I think you are holding onto your golden rice bowl and crying about poverty. " Seeing Chen Laogan raised his head in surprise, Li Peizheng also looked at him in surprise. Du Yan continued: "If nothing else, the green fruit wine in Daqing Township is good. What's rare is the original flavor. If The benefits of building a brewery should be very good. " "Secretary Du, are you kidding? Who would like our local wine? "Chen Laogan shook his head disapprovingly. He looked at Du Yan with a hint of contempt in his eyes. Although he didn't say it directly, he was already muttering secretly in his heart. Sure enough, the young man has a hairless mouth and can't do things well. What he says is not good. Reliable. "Of course no one likes this look," Du Yan didn't take it seriously. "After all, it's home-brewed local wine, but it tastes really good. Didn't everyone say it when we drank it just now? Wine has its origins. If a factory is built on a large scale, let alone the hundreds of thousands of people in Pingling, it is not impossible to bring it to Taihua City. After all, we in Pingling really don¡¯t have our own winery. . Why can't you, Daqing Township, build one? Not to mention that your place is no better than other townships and the transportation is not developed. Are you afraid of stumbling on the road and smashing your wine jar? " At this point, Du Yan deliberately chuckled and stopped talking. Chen Laogan looked at Du Yan in a daze. Although Du Yan just said a few words casually, he had to admit that what Du Yan said was quite true. There is some truth to it. It seems that he is quite confident about the taste of green fruit wine. At least the wines he drank when he went to the county town were not as good as green fruit wine. Li Peizheng looked at Du Yan in surprise. I know that Du Yan's seemingly casual words do contain a lot of things. There is no local winery in Pingling. Even Taihua City has only one small winery with a single variety. "White" is just a middle-to-lower-grade general public wine in Taihua. It's not that the locals in Taihua don't like drinking, but that there is a large-scale state-owned winery in Qingfeng, Linshi, not far from Taihua. Although The quality of the liquor produced by that winery is not very good, but because the old brand has been deeply rooted in people's hearts for many years, and the local winery in Taihua is so disappointing, after several attempts to expand production but with mediocre response, the relevant people in Taihua City The leader also lost the idea of ??setting up a local liquor brand. ¡°It¡¯s useless to build a small winery,¡± Chen Laogan asked dully. ¡°Besides, Taihua also has a ¡®white drink¡¯. We can do it here. What's the point? " "A mouthful of white wine is just a blended mass family wine. You don't know how to make some high-end wine? "Du Yan seems to be deliberately quarreling with Chen Laogan."He said, "Not to mention anything else, the ingredients used in green fruit wine are much more exquisite than a white one. Real mountain fruits, green food." "What?" Chen Laogan asked in confusion. "Oh, it's the original flavor. People in the city like to eat this now." Du Yan saw that Li Peizheng's eyes seemed to be serious and he was secretly happy. "It's getting harder and harder for people in the city to eat wild vegetables and game. Do you think so?" Yeah, where can you find game on the asphalt road? The green fruit wine in Daqing Township is absolutely pure in taste. Not to mention white, even the lotus wine in Qingfeng can't compare. " "That's right, I'm not bragging. Come on, our green fruit wine has been drunk by important people in the past few decades, let's just say during the turmoil" Chen Laogan seemed to be energetic all of a sudden, and he spoke excitedly until he saw Li Peizheng looking at him with a smile. , he then remembered that he seemed to have strayed from the topic and smiled honestly, a little embarrassed, "Look what I'm talking nonsense in front of Secretary Li." Li Peizheng, who had been listening, nodded indifferently, he thought for a moment and asked: " Lao Chen, what do you think of Xiao Duti¡¯s suggestion?¡± After hearing Li Peizheng¡¯s question, Chen Laogan seemed to wake up a little. He pondered for a moment and gradually showed a hint of helplessness on his face: ¡°Secretary Li, when it comes to making wine, all the young and old in our village can do it. Yeah, after all, it¡¯s our craftsmanship. The floor of the factory can be solved. It¡¯s okay to free up some space in the village. But to build a winery, we have to have equipment. We don¡¯t have the money, unless the county allocates funds. It's all nonsense!" After talking about it, Chen Laogeng, who was a little discouraged, became less nice and even a little angry. It's just like if a person has no hope, he will be disappointed, but if he is given hope and then told that this hope cannot be realized, the feeling of loss will be much more intense than before. Li Peizheng thought silently. Although he couldn't tell from the outside, Li Peizheng was not peaceful in his heart. Like Chen Laogan, Du Yan's seemingly casual words caused a big stir in his heart. Ding Bingxian had mentioned it to him when he analyzed the situation in Pingling. He wanted to break the current officialdom in Pingling. In a monolithic situation, the suggestion that we should not just rely on dividing local officials but find another shortcut came to his mind again at this time. Li Peizheng valued Ding Bingxian very much. He knew that Ding Bingxian, who had experienced ups and downs in his official career, was obviously very different from his own perspective in terms of experience and mentality. In particular, the article published by Ding Bingxian in Pingling News echoed that of Du Yan. It seemed very coincidental but just right that both of them highlighted a topic, that is, accelerating the pace of Pingling's economic construction. Even vaguely, the two articles The article implicitly implies that the focus of work should be shifted to economic construction. "If Du Yan is right, it may be because, as Ding Bingxian said, he has more expertise in economic construction, but Li Peizheng believes that Ding Bingxian is by no means an economic development theorist with a narrow vision. Especially after such an experience, Li Peizheng did not believe that Ding Bingxian would make such a mistake again. So, it can only be shown that Ding Bingxian¡¯s reminder to himself obviously has some basis, and he said that Du Yan is a talent with expertise in economic construction. We can also see some shadows from these seemingly casual sentences. "Don't be anxious, there will always be a way." Li Peizheng did not go any further on this topic. After he stretched his arms slightly, Chen Laogan said goodbye knowingly and walked out of the three formal rooms that his daughter-in-law had already vacated. house. Li Peizheng¡¯s research in Daqing Township ended on the second night. Looking at the dust raised by the jeep going away, Chen Laogan sighed. Although he no longer expects any help and support from the county to Daqing Township, he still has some illusions every time he meets the county leaders. But the disappointments again and again made his heart cold. "Go back, come back, don't worry about it." Chen Laogan felt aggrieved and hardened his voice. Looking at Mayor Long, who also had a gloomy face, he raised his hand helplessly and patted his shoulder, "Go back, Old Long, let's go back." Let's first think about how to keep those kids in the village who are about to run away, hey" Sitting in the jeep, because Li Peizheng didn't speak, Du Yan just looked at the records about Daqing Township in the diary. . It wasn't until a long time later that Li Peizheng suddenly broke the silence and asked Du Yan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat: "Xiao Du, how feasible is the brewery you talked about last night?" Hearing Li Peizheng finally speak Du Yan smiled secretly, but he immediately turned around and said modestly: "Secretary Li, I was just talking about an idea casually." "Then let's continue talking casually," Li Peizheng said casually. Li Peizheng's encouragement made Du Yan secretly happy. He knew that this was the first time that he had shown his opinions in front of Li Peizheng. And this is how he established himselfAt the beginning of his status in Li Peizheng's circle, at least he wanted to let Li Peizheng know that he was more than just a secretary. Du Yan has never positioned himself as a mere secretary, becoming Li Peizheng's secretary is just the beginning. After sorting out his thoughts, Du Yan began to tell Li Peizheng the steps he had considered the night before. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 19 Chapter 19 A Chance Encounter between Two Piles According to the plan, Li Peizheng will go to two places this time when he goes to the countryside. In addition to Daqing Township, there is also Shuangdui Town, which is the farthest place from the county seat. Shuangdui Town is a small place located in the northeast of Pingling. It passes from Daqing Township and goes all the way north. It is located in the northeast corner of Taihua City and borders the neighboring city of Qingfeng. In the early years, this town was considered a neglected place. Neither Taihua, Qingfeng, nor Linchi City further away were willing to take over this unprofitable place. Later, in the early 1980s, it was transferred to Taihua. It is under the jurisdiction of Pingling County in Hua City. As a result, Shuangdui will inevitably become unpopular like a stepmother. In addition, Shuangdui's transportation is inconvenient and there are no resources worth utilizing. Naturally, it has been regarded as a big deal by successive Pingling governments. burden. In the eyes of successive county committees and governments, Shuangdui Town really has no practical value other than being able to make some contribution to the country¡¯s poverty alleviation funds every year. The jeep was driving bumpily on the road, Li Peizheng's face turned blue, and even Du Yan began to feel an indescribable upset in his stomach because of the bumps on the road. But the driver, Lao Huang, seemed to be enjoying it. Not only was he smiling while steering the wheel, he even hummed a local ditty along with the bumps. "Master Huang, drive more slowly." Du Yan finally spoke, but as he spoke, he felt a lump in his throat, so he immediately closed his mouth. When they were approaching Shuangdui Town, Li Peizheng finally couldn't help but asked Lao Huang to stop the car. As soon as he got out, Li Peizheng immediately ran to the roadside and vomited non-stop. Although Du Yan was also very uncomfortable, he still cheered up and helped Li Peizheng. Give him a pat on the back to make him feel a little more comfortable. "Secretary Li, Shuangdui is a famous sedan road with bumps along the way. Not to mention other things, the old secretary has only been here once in so many years, and County Magistrate Guo has not been here at all in a few years." Old Huang laughed. He took out the kettle he had prepared earlier and let Li Peizheng rinse his mouth. "According to the old man in the county, when we returned to Pingling from Shuangdui, there was not even a secretary or county magistrate who visited us twice." "Master Huang, please bring the car later. Just drive it steadily." Seeing Lao Huang's disinterested tone, Du Yan reminded him in a low voice. Old Huang curled his lips slightly. Although he didn't say anything, he didn't take Du Yan's reminder to heart. Li Peizheng has been quiet since he took office, and Guo Songlin has been such a strong figure in recent years with the support of the old secretary. Many people in the county naturally feel that Li Peizheng will definitely not be able to defeat the old secretary who stays. Helping people. Although people like Wu Shenzheng would not be so stupid as to think that Li Peizheng is such an easy person to control, small people like Lao Huang are just like the wind and rain, and they don't really respect Li Peizheng in their hearts. Li Peizheng, who was rinsing his mouth with water, glanced at Du Yan slightly. Seeing that Du Yan didn't seem to be unhappy with Lao Huang's attitude, he smiled softly. Li Peizheng was too lazy to pay attention to an old man like Lao Huang. However, Li Peizheng was very interested in seeing how Du Yan would deal with what happened in Liyuju that Du Yan mentioned before. As the leader¡¯s secretary, just as Wu Shenzheng said to Feng Chao, the leader will be dissatisfied if he is arrogant and domineering, but he will never be satisfied if he appears weak. After all, the secretary's treatment outside is often the leader's face and is proof of the leader's authority. On the next road, Lao Huang did not appear excessive, but drove the car as smoothly as possible. But even so, when he turned a corner along a small river and saw a house, Li Peizheng finally took a long breath. gas. Unlike Daqing Township, as soon as the car drove onto a stone bridge that looked to be in disrepair, several people who looked like township cadres were already seen in the distance waiting on the other side of the bridge. "Secretary Li, it should be comrades from Shuangdui who are here." Du Yan turned around and said to Li Peizheng. Li Peizheng nodded slightly. He secretly took a breath to calm his chest, which was feeling tight due to vomiting. After the car stopped, Du Yan quickly jumped out of the car and opened the door, then got out of the jeep. "Secretary Li." A dark-faced and sturdy-looking cadre walked up and stretched out his hands diligently. Although he had never seen him before, Du Yan guessed that he was Sun Qizhi, secretary of the Shuangdui Town Party Committee. As for the short man next to him, he should be It¡¯s the mayor Liu Wang. Li Peizheng shook hands with the cadres in Shuangdui one by one. He knew that for some people, the fact that Daqing Township did not receive the news that he came down for investigation was considered a small shame. If even Shuangdui had no news at all, If you didn't hear it, then it was indeed a bit too much, and those people still have to be a little cautious. Like in Daqing Township, the formal investigation actually yielded no results. After visiting several typical poor households, Li Peizheng had to admit that he facedThe problem is much more difficult than imagined. Although it is a relatively backward county, it is difficult to imagine that there is such a place in the countryside. In the adobe yard, which could hardly be called a house but a dark shack with air leakage from all sides, women with dull eyes held their timid children in their arms and stared at the visitors with wary eyes. When he was handed over a bowl stained with a layer of black oil, Du Yan saw the eyes of a child staring at the oil on the water, and the smell of sticky porridge came out from under the lid of the firewood pot in the corner of the room. . Li Peizheng frowned and walked on the bumpy streets. He knew that this was still a town, and he couldn't even imagine the villages further away. "Old Sun, is there nothing you can do?" Although Li Peizheng kept reminding himself to pay attention to his emotions, his tone was still a little heavy. "I know that Shuangdui is not only a famous poverty-stricken area in the county but also in the city, but your town is You can only live on state relief funds every year? You haven't thought about what to do?" Li Peizheng looked at Sun Qizhi with a somewhat stern look. Although he knew that this was not entirely his fault, he still felt strongly dissatisfied. "To put it bluntly today, I don't expect you to get rich. To say it's unrealistic is to sing a high tone, but your town party committee and town government must always try to lift the people out of poverty, right?" Li Peizheng frowned. When he said this, his His eyes inadvertently glanced at Du Yan next to him. Du Yan's thoughts about green fruit wine in Daqing Township and the ideas he briefly mentioned in the car gave Li Peizheng a vague hope for him. However, after seeing Du Yan, After Yan seemed a little distracted, Li Peizheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Maybe Daqing Township¡¯s idea is just a coincidence. Li Peizheng thought in his mind. Sun Qizhi and Liu Wang were obviously frightened by Li Peizheng's reprimand. At least in their eyes, the mutual strife in the county was too far away, and Shuangdui was "far away from the temple" because they were raised by their stepmother, so the anger of the county party committee secretary was definitely not They can compete. "Secretary Li, we didn't do our job well. This is because we are not qualified." Under Li Peizheng's gaze, Sun Qizhi held it in for a while before speaking, "But there is nothing we can do. You know what Shuangdui wants is nothing. It is far away from the county seat and has inconvenient transportation. Not to mention compared with Daqing, even Liuliji is better than our Shuangdui. At least there is a small reservoir there that can generate electricity. " "I know that Shuangdui has a lot of difficulties. , but we cannot think that it is appropriate just because we have difficulties. It is okay to receive state relief, but we cannot think that with relief, we can not be enterprising." Li Peizheng's tone became stern, although it was not entirely directed at Shuangdui cadres, but look at it. Seeing the scene before him, he couldn't take it calmly. "Secretary Li is right in his criticism. We must learn a lesson and find a way to get the town out of poverty as soon as possible." Mayor Liu Wang took a step forward, but although his attitude seemed quite respectful, Li Peizheng's heart was slightly cold, because he Knowing that this is really just superficial, just like in the eyes of these town cadres, his reprimand is just a formality for outsiders to see. Du Yan stood aside and looked at everything in front of him coldly. Although he couldn't see anything from Li Peizheng's expressionless face, he could feel Li Peizheng's disappointment. Du Yan himself was not disappointed with these town cadres. There was no trace of life in these people, and they seemed more like a kind of lethargy. Compared with them, Chen Laojie from Daqing Township Although he was a little stubborn, at least he still had the enthusiasm in his heart to do something. But you can¡¯t feel it from these people. A hint of fatigue appeared on Li Peizheng's face. The bumps along the way and the situation before him made him feel physically and mentally heavy. When he saw Du Yan, he walked up and said softly: "Secretary Li, you are also tired along the way. Do you want to go first?" Take a rest and wait to hear the report from Party Secretary Sun and the others? " "Yes, Secretary Li, Shuangdui is famous for its sedan chairs. Why don't you take a rest first?" Sun Qizhi immediately continued, and he was even grateful. He glanced at Du Yan, and felt quite pleased with this little secretary who looked to be in his early twenties. Li Peizheng looked up at the only decent road in Shuangdui Town that he had not yet finished. He also knew that he could not change anything immediately. The road in front of him made him feel as if he was on the road. Pingling's future is the same, bumpy and bumpy. Li Peizheng opened his mouth. Just when he was about to agree to go back to town, there was a burst of children's noise at the street in the distance, and an off-road vehicle covered with dust and looking like a behemoth roared towards him. Seeing the Mitsubishi Pajero that suddenly appeared in this remote rural area, which was totally out of tune with this place, Du Yan was slightly startled for a moment, and then looked at Song Jiayi who stopped on the side of the road and got out of the car with the same expression. Du Yan I couldn't help but smile slightly.??. Different from the previous comfortable and casual outfit, maybe for the convenience of movement, Song Jiayi wore casual-looking sportswear today. A pair of travel shoes that were also full of dust and the dust on his face made him look less pampered, but more dignified. He has become a lot more easy-going, at least he has lost the vague unruliness he had when he was at Liyuju, and instead has more of the liveliness of a young man. Although he didn¡¯t know Song Jiayi, looking at the Mitsubishi Pajero that stunned the cadres in Shuangdui Town, and seeing Du Yan¡¯s expression, Li Peizheng guessed who he was after just a moment of thought. Song Jiayi's sudden appearance was beyond Li Peizheng's expectation. He didn't know how this well-established Mr. Song could suddenly come to a remote place like Shuangdui. Although the two sides did not really meet what happened in the county town before, Li Peizheng believed that Song Jiayi definitely didn't just happen to arrive at Shuangdui Town with him one after another. It seems that Mr. Song is really here for that matter? While Du Yan was thinking this in his mind, he whispered to Li Peizheng: "Secretary Li, this is Mr. Song." Seeing Du Yan's hint that the two parties should meet, Li Peizheng nodded slightly in agreement. It is indeed not suitable for the two parties to meet in the county town, but it is completely different in Shuangdui. Remembering that Qu Xiangdong vaguely mentioned the origin of Mr. Song on the phone before, Li Peizheng felt that he could not let go of such a good opportunity. "It's a coincidence, Mr. Song, that I can meet you here in Shuangdui." With Li Peizheng's tacit approval, Du Yan walked over and stretched out his hand to Song Jiayi, who was smiling. After shaking it hard, he looked at it with interest. Miss Ou, who had almost climbed down from the Pajero, said: "Miss Ou, our famous sedan road in Pingling is well-deserved." "It's well-deserved, it's really well-deserved," Song Jiayi looked back at Miss Ou's ugly face and shook her head with a wry smile. Didn't expect Du Mi to be here too?" He said, but his eyes looked towards Li Peizheng, who was surrounded by town cadres in the distance. "Although Mr. Song is busy with inspection work, is it convenient to meet with Secretary Li?" Du Yan suddenly asked in a low voice. Song Jiayi looked at Du Yan in surprise. It didn't sound like Du Yan's statement was in line with the rules. As Li Peizheng's secretary, saying this seemed to weaken Li Peizheng's momentum at first glance. However, it was precisely because of this that Song Jiayi stood up for Du Yan. Yan was a little surprised that he could be so sure about Li Peizheng's positioning. Although Qu Xiangdong of Taihua vaguely knew his identity, and Qu Xiangdong was obviously close to Li Peizheng of Pingling, Song Jiayi was certain that Qu Xiangdong was unlikely to completely reveal his identity to him without his consent. Li Peizheng is even less likely to reveal to Li Peizheng the purpose of his visit that even he doesn't know. Although Li Peizheng has just taken office as secretary of the county party committee and has not yet started his work, he is still a prince, so he should not lose his status too much. However, Du Yan is a little particular when it comes to inspections. If Li Peizheng is not really clear about his identity and purpose, then what Du Yan said is either insufficient or a coincidence, or he knows something and has a hint? Song Jiayi thought this in her mind but did not hesitate. Accompanied by Du Yan and Miss Ou who reluctantly followed, she walked towards Li Peizheng. When Li Peizheng and Song Jiayi were introduced by Du Yan, smiled, shook hands, and exchanged cordial greetings, Song Jiayi suddenly saw a vaguely meaningful smile on the corner of Du Yan's mouth standing aside. That expression was like discovering some secret at this moment. Of course Song Jiayi didn't know that Du Yan was in a state of excitement at this moment! Song Jiayi suddenly appeared in Shuangdui Town, a town where birds do not lay eggs, completely proving Du Yan's previous guess! Because Shuangdui Town is located in the Sangui area at the junction of three cities, it really has nothing and is completely destitute. But at this time, no one realized that the location of Shuangdui Town was a transportation hub that could have a major impact. As the time for the cross-provincial economic bridge project is getting closer, the national high-grade highway network project plan should have been raised among the top officials of the national ministries and commissions. This plan that will even drive the economic development of the entire national level in the future has not yet been announced. How many people know that even those who initiated the project may not realize what changes will be brought about with the formation of the inter-provincial economic bridge network. " However, even if they did not understand the mystery at all, many people who were able to get the news early through special channels still saw unlimited business opportunities from it, and Song Jiayi was undoubtedly one of them. Du Yan didn¡¯t know if Song Jiayi had been to Pingling in his previous life, but in this life, when he looked at Song Jiayi, Du Yan was thinking that the goose was about to pluck its feathers! Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Secretary Xiao Du is very nourishing? The four-day trip to the countryside ended quickly. After returning to the county seat, Li Peizheng presided over the first Standing Committee meeting since he took office in Pingling. But what made Li Peizheng feel helpless was that after briefly introducing his investigation to the Standing Committee, he was met with silence from others. The meeting lasted for more than two hours. When he saw the conference room door opening and the county party committee leaders walking out one after another, Du Yan, who had been waiting in the corridor outside the door, immediately stood up. Guo Songlin's secretary Xiao Lu saw Guo Songlin coming out and immediately took the notebook and tea cup from his hand. Then in a show-off manner, he followed Sun Dewen, deputy secretary of the party and mass group, and the organization who were talking to Guo Songlin. Minister Liao Kun walked towards the other side of the corridor. Guo Songlin is not tall and slightly fat. He looks a bit funny walking with Sun Dewen, who is as thin as a bamboo pole. However, Liao Kun, the organization director walking on the other side of him, is a dull-looking little old man with early balding hair. , but although these three people looked unattractive, Du Yan knew that they were the most powerful people in Pingling County. It is also Li Peizheng¡¯s biggest opponent in Pingling! Du Yan leaned toward the edge of the corridor, which was originally not wide, and made way for the three people walking side by side. But what he didn't expect was that when passing by him, Guo Songlin suddenly stopped and looked at him. "Your name is Du Yan?" Guo Songlin asked calmly, "Secretary Li's new secretary?" "Hello County Magistrate, I am Du Yan." Although he was a little surprised, Du Yan still responded respectfully and calmly, However, he was a little surprised as to why Guo Songlin suddenly noticed him. "I heard that you used to work in the county cultural center?" Guo Songlin continued to ask unexpectedly, which made Sun Dewen and Liao Kun who were walking with him look at Du Yan in surprise. They didn't know how Guo Songlin could treat Li Peizheng. The secretary suddenly became interested. "You're good young man, do a good job." Guo Songlin said in a gentle tone and continued to walk forward. The remaining members of the county party committee's standing committee looked at Du Yan with some doubts and curiosity. Seeing the others leaving Du Yan and turning around to walk into the conference room, he saw Li Peizheng sitting at the end of the long table covered with green velvet tablecloth. The cigarette in his left hand had burned out a long butt, and there was a pen in his right hand. He was tapping the files on the desktop unconsciously between his fingers. Du Yan gently placed the ashtray next to Li Peizheng's hand. Seeing Li Peizheng come to his senses and crush the remaining cigarette butts into the ashtray, Du Yan took advantage of the situation to help him pack up the scattered documents. After returning to the office, Li Peizheng didn't give any more instructions to Du Yan. From his expression, Du Yan could guess that this first meeting of the Standing Committee was not optimistic. It wasn't until the clock on the wall was almost at the end of the day that Du Yan left again. After entering the office and already starting to clean up the debris on his desk, Li Peizheng said: "Xiao Du, you don't have to see me off. Just go home after get off work." Hearing the faint tiredness in Li Peizheng's voice, he was about to Du Yan, who was bending down to clear the table, straightened up and looked at him. "Secretary Li, I'd better take you back to rest first." Li Peizheng now lives on the second floor behind the county guest house because his family members did not come with him. Although Tu Xiangdong has asked him several times to move into the county committee's residential area, he ignored Li Peizheng is not in a hurry to move into a new home soon. "No need, you have been tired enough these past few days," Li Peizheng smiled. At this time, there was no trace of what happened at the Standing Committee meeting on his face. "Let's go home and rest for a night. We will start again tomorrow." You have to work hard." Du Yan didn't insist anymore. He knew that Li Peizheng might need to be alone for a while. ¡°Because there were no secrets in the first place, and someone deliberately leaked the news, what happened at the previous Standing Committee meeting had already spread in the county committee and county government compound. At the meeting, Li Peizheng used the two places he visited in the past two days as examples and briefly raised the issue of how Pingling can improve people's living standards as quickly as possible and how to develop the economy as quickly as possible to other members of the Standing Committee. But what Li Peizheng didn¡¯t expect was that as soon as he raised these questions, he received counter-questions from several other people. The first is Deputy Secretary Sun Dewen. He clearly expressed his disagreement with Li Peizheng's statement that Pingling's economic level is "very backward." "Although our economic development in Pingling is not optimistic, it cannot be described as backward. Maybe compared with the cities in the southern coastal areas, we are indeed settled, but in Taihua we are still not as good as the upper ones but more than the lower ones." Sun Dewen Directly denying Li Peizheng's words was just a simple beginning. Liao Kun, the Organization Minister, Feng Hao, the Executive Deputy County Magistrate, and even Gu Zhimin, the Propaganda Minister, all expressed different opinions. As director of the county party committee office, Tu Xiangdong did not start?Speak, but he remained silent. On the contrary, Guo Songlin, who had never spoken much, later expressed his recognition of Secretary Li's views and self-criticism of Pingling's current situation in a high-profile manner. However, this aroused the indignation of several people led by Sun Dewen. I felt very wronged by Guo Songlin's self-criticism. So this first Standing Committee meeting chaired by Li Peizheng ended with Li Peizheng's failure before it was even Guo Songlin's turn to take action personally. This kind of news made many people feel Li Peizheng's dilemma even more. When Guo Songlin's secretary Xiao Lu appeared in the secretary's room, several secretarial department officers immediately took the opportunity to answer. When Du Yan appeared, several secretarial officers from before Those who were still looking at him with envy and jealousy had some expressions of gloating on their faces, while others had expressions of sympathy. "Secretary Li is a good secretary, but he still doesn't understand us at Pingling." When Du Yan walked out of the secretary's room, what he heard was Xiao Lu speaking in a deliberately loud voice. Du Yan didn¡¯t know if Li Peizheng knew what was happening outside. After leaving the county party committee compound, he rode his old 28-year-old bicycle toward the dormitory area of ??the old machinery factory. The black smoke coming out of the chimney of the old machinery factory in the distance made people feel a little depressed. While riding the bike, Du Yan was thinking about the news he had heard before. Guo Songlin obviously wanted to give Li Peizheng a show of strength. Perhaps he had followed the old secretary step by step over the past few years, but he was indeed suppressed enough, so once he had the opportunity to feel proud, he immediately ordered several of his subordinates without hesitation. The alliance should give Li Peizheng some color. The lower the level of political struggle, the less scrupulous it is. Although there is really nothing praiseworthy about this straight-forward approach, Du Yan has to admit that it does work in the current situation. At least according to custom, it is indeed impossible for Li Peizheng to ask for help from his superiors soon after he took office. That would make him appear too incompetent. Guo Songlin obviously took advantage of this favorable situation and asked for help at the first meeting of the Standing Committee. Sudden display of power. Du Yan believed that the embarrassment for Li Peizheng at today's Standing Committee meeting should have been discussed in advance. No matter what kind of questions Li Peizheng raised at the meeting, Guo Songlin and the others would take the opportunity to embarrass him. Fortunately, the suggestions he had made to Li Peizheng about sideline businesses and income generation in Daqing Township were just improvised ideas and were not written down. Li Peizheng seemed to just want to test the trend on the Standing Committee. Otherwise, if he really put forward a proposal, it would be rejected. If you reject it, you will be really passive. Du Yan thought to himself. But even so, Du Yan secretly felt that the situation was much worse than he imagined. Guo Songlin was obviously not prepared to give Li Peizheng a chance, which made Du Yan realize that although he had the advantage of foresight, if he did not carefully plan , neither Li Peizheng nor himself can easily get rid of the unfavorable situation at hand. Du Yan was a little distracted thinking about it. When he was approaching the door of his house, a person suddenly came out from a corner not far from his house, and he almost bumped into that person. "Aunt?" Du Yan looked at Gu Weifen, who was almost hit by him, with some surprise. Seeing that Gu Weifen seemed to be undecided about what to say, he couldn't help but secretly wonder, "Aunt, why are you here? Is something wrong? ?" "Xiao, Xiao Du," Gu Weifen looked at Du Yan with some embarrassment. At this time, she was really annoyed. She never expected that this wild boy she had always looked down upon would suddenly become the secretary of the county party committee secretary. When I went home a while ago, I heard my husband, who was working at the County Agricultural Machinery Bureau, mention this. Then I heard that working as a secretary to the county party committee secretary might not only help me get promoted quickly, but also give me a chance to be assigned a house. Gu Weifen regretted it so much that she almost bumped her head. But what made Gu Weifen really anxious was not that he went to Du Yan's house to quarrel, but that Du Yan and Su Qian had not been seen together in the past few days, and from the faint sadness on her daughter's face, Gu Weifen began to Feeling bad. "Xiao Du, why haven't you come home to see Qianqian these days?" Looking at Du Yan, Gu Weifen began to feel that this young man was not only more pleasing to the eye than before, but even better. "Qianqian has been thinking about her these days. What about you?" Looking at Gu Weifen's cautious expression, Du Yan already knew the reason after thinking for a moment. He smiled secretly in his heart. If Gu Weifen knew that not only himself, but also his boss was having a hard time in the county committee, her attitude would probably not be the same. It's changed so quickly. "Aunt, I'm too busy with work these days. I don't understand anything when I first arrived at the new unit. I have to pay more attention to my work." Although he didn't like Gu Weifen very much, thinking that she was Su Qian's mother, Du Yan still tried his best to calm himself down. The attitude is better. "Yes, yes, by the leader's side,"You should pay more attention," Gu Weifen immediately continued, but after a pause, he still couldn't help but ask, "Then when will you come to see Qianqian at home? Did you know that someone came to introduce Qianqian to her husband yesterday? He's the doctor from the county hospital I mentioned before." At this point, seeing the expression on Du Yan's face change slightly, Gu Weifen immediately said, "But that was all before. Qianqian didn't agree at all, so you " Du Yan sighed secretly in his heart. He didn't know how Gu Weifen would treat him if he was still the clerk of the cultural center before. But he was too lazy to think about these things. On the contrary, from the change in Gu Weifen's attitude On the occasion, Du Yan became more determined not only to change his previous destiny, but also to change the current situation as soon as possible. Finally, after Du Yan promised to go to see Su Qian on Sunday, he was able to get rid of Gu Weifen's entanglement and watch her walk away. He turned around and told himself not to forget Gu Weifen, who had a date on Sunday. Du Yan smiled bitterly and pushed the car into the house. As soon as he walked into the yard, Du Yan saw an angry look on his face, standing at the yard door and staring at Gu Weifen in the distance. Du Fei from behind: ¡°You¡¯re so shameless, you came to our house to make trouble a few days ago, and now you are shamelessly looking for a son-in-law for your girl! Du Fei closed the courtyard door bitterly, then glared at Du Yan who was smiling at her, muttering, "Brother, you are the same. What's so good about that Su Qian? There are other girls in the world besides her." ? " "Then what kind of girl do you think I should find? "Du Yan looked at his sister funny. "Why are there no good girls, like" Du Fei was not convinced and opened her mouth to retort, but her face turned red and she still didn't say anything. "Xiao Fei, don't fool around with your brother, go in quickly. Do your homework, and you are not allowed to eat until you finish your homework. "Sang Shulan walked out of the house and looked at her daughter who turned around angrily and entered the house. Sang Shulan sighed softly. Although her daughter is still young, how come she, as a mother, doesn't understand her daughter's thoughts. It's just Sang Shulan looked at the door that Du Fei closed tightly after entering the house, and could only sigh helplessly, "Dad. "After putting the car away, Du Yan entered the main room and saw his father sitting with a meal set out, obviously waiting for him to come home. Du Yan called out softly. "Xiao Yan is back, let's eat. "Seeing his son, Du Zhenhai, who had been deep in thought before, smiled. " Du Zhenhai is in his early fifties this year. He joined the army and served as a soldier for several years in his early years. After demobilization, he was assigned to the Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory. Because he has a high school background and is admitted to school, He soon became a top technical expert in the Heavy Machinery Factory section. After the unrest began, Du Zhenhai was quickly integrated into the Revolutionary Committee of the Heavy Machinery Factory because he was from a good background and was a demobilized soldier. Inexplicably, he became a member of the Revolutionary Committee, but Du Zhenhai couldn't stand the behavior of those people at that time. Especially several times, because the rebels opposed some engineers in the factory who were labeled as white professionals and were assigned to heavy machinery. He couldn't stand the fight between some capitalist roaders in the factory renovation, so Du Zhenhai said a few words of justice, which naturally made him an unsteady member. Fortunately, Du Zhenhai was a good-natured person because of his background, so he didn't get hung up. Apart from getting up, there was no big impact. After that, the life of Du Zhenhai's family was ordinary but happy. However, in the past two years, as the efficiency of the heavy machinery factory continued to decline, Du Zhenhai, as the old man in the factory, had some problems. At that time, I couldn¡¯t help but worry about the future of the factory. ¡°Xiaoyan, when you work in the government, you have to know what you should and shouldn¡¯t do. "While eating, Du Zhenhai told Du Yan, "Although I have been in the factory, I know some things. I have to be more careful around the leader. I can't be arrogant and domineering just because I am the leader's secretary. Don't imitate what we do in the factory. That ginger bald guy shows off his power as a big-ass office director. " Seeing his father getting angry as he spoke, Du Yan nodded with a smile. He knew that the bald man his father was talking about was a clerk in the former factory office of the Heavy Machinery Factory. Because of his skills in drilling, he was valued by the current factory director Shen Guofang. However, Du Yan's understanding of this person came from several more unforgettable events in later generations. As the call for reform of state-owned enterprises increased in the early 1990s, some of them suffered from low overall efficiency. Old state-owned enterprises with backward technological standards are increasingly struggling, especially some early third-tier enterprises such as Pingling Lao Heavy Machinery Factory, which increasingly highlights their heavy burden of not adapting to the times. Therefore, "restructuring" seems to be a problem. Nighttime became the panacea that completely saved these old enterprises, and this ginger bald man was one of the many predators who rode the wave of restructuring at that time and pounced on the already scarred and delicious prey. But now, this ginger bald man is just one. Although the director of the factory office of the heavy machinery factory has a bad reputation, there is no oneWho could imagine that he would be one of the many so-called elites who would skillfully plunder hundreds of millions of state-owned assets at almost zero discount in the future? No one would have imagined how many appalling things would happen during that plundering feast. thing. On Sunday, as agreed with Gu Weifen in advance, Du Yan arrived at Su Qian's house to pick up Su Qian. Although she was just waiting outside the door as before, this time Gu Weifen seemed to want to let the neighbors know that her daughter had found a boyfriend who was the secretary of the county party committee. She even personally sent Su Qian away to see her. After she walked to Du Yan, she closed the far door under the envious gazes of her neighbors who were satisfied and looking around. Su Qian was embarrassed by Gu Weifen's display, but after Du Yan held her hand, Su Qian gradually calmed down. The two people didn't say much, they just stared at each other silently, as if that was enough. "My mother is like this. I know she is doing it for my own good, but" Su Qian said in embarrassment while walking with Du Yan on the streets of the county town. "Qianqian, I know," Du Yan smiled. Of course he knew that Gu Weifen was thinking about his daughter after all, so even though Gu Weifen was snobbish, he wasn't very disgusted with it. "Okay, let's go watch a movie." Because we just went there before. Despite the major turmoil that occurred in the past year, the number of imported films was much less than before. I just caught a domestic martial arts film and watched the good and evil on the screen accompanied by Yiyi's shouting, which seemed artificial and childish. Du Yan secretly took the opportunity to flirt with Su Qian for a while. By the time the movie ended, Su Qian's face was as red as a ripe apple. "Watching a movie, I know you have bad intentions." On the way home, Su Qian stared at Du Yan angrily, but she found strangely that Du Yan was looking at the large hall of a slightly dark song and dance hall across the street. Daze at the door. "What are you looking at? Do you want to go in and have a look?" Su Qian asked angrily. "Don't tell me, I really saw something today." Unexpectedly, Du Yan looked at the two people at the door of the song and dance hall and answered with a smile. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Secretary Xiao Du is in action Du Yan saw deputy secretary Sun Dewen and Xue Xuefen from the party committee office far away at the door of the song and dance hall. Speaking of the officials at Pingling at that time, Du Yan had the deepest impression of Sun Dewen except Li Peizheng and Guo Songlin. After waking up, although he did not formally meet Sun Dewen, he immediately thought of Xue Xuefen when he saw him. he. However, the reason why Sun Dewen made such a deep impression on Du Yan was because of the woman Xue Xuefen. At the county party committee, there were already many rumors about the unclear relationship between Sun Dewen and Xue Xuefen. Xue Xuefen never shied away from this, and sometimes even deliberately let such news spread everywhere, but this kind of thing was just a rumor after all. , since no one has ever caught her wrist, and her husband doesn't care, others naturally don't dare to offend the dignified deputy secretary of the county party committee easily. Therefore, Xue Xuefen became even more unscrupulous in the party committee office, sometimes semi-openly claiming to be Sun Dewen's person. Even the deputy director Wu Shenzhen was a little offended by her because of this. Seeing Sun Dewen and Xue Xuefen coming out of the song and dance hall together, Du Yan couldn't help but secretly laugh. Of course he knew that this was nothing. Sun Dewen dared to take Xue Xuefen to and from the song and dance hall in public, and there was no big taboo. Even if someone saw it, he could probably deduce that he wanted Xue Xuefen to accompany some guests with him, and Xue Xuefen's work in the county committee office sometimes did include picking up and delivering these women, which was more appropriate. The reason Du Yan felt funny was because after seeing those two people and thinking about the time, he suddenly thought that "that thing" was about to happen. After sending Sun Qian home, Du Yan returned to his home. Seeing that the lights were still on in his sister Du Fei's room, he wanted to take a look, but then he thought that Du Fei was not young anymore and he should be a little shy about it, so he turned around and went back to his room. But unexpectedly, Du Fei heard the sound and came out of the house. "Brother, you're back." Du Fei, who was standing on the steps at the door, said to Du Yan in the yard. Because it was summer, Du Fei only wore a light-colored loose T-shirt on his upper body. Looking everywhere, one could vaguely see inside the T-shirt, and Duffy's upper body seemed to be a vacuum. Du Yan immediately turned his head and coughed, but Du Fei didn't think much of it. She asked Du Yan to wait a moment, then turned around and entered the room. After a while, she came out with a bowl of cold sour plum soup. "Brother, drink some sour plum soup, it's too hot outside." Du Fei said, raising the sour plum soup to Du Yan's mouth, intending to feed him to drink it. A kind of girl's unique breath came. Du Yan coughed again and stepped aside slightly. He wanted to reach out and take the bowl, but because he was not careful when he raised his hand, he accidentally wiped it from Du Fei's chest. "Hey!" Du Fei's hand shook involuntarily, and the sour plum soup in the bowl immediately poured out and sprinkled on Du Yan. Because it was just taken out from the thick earth jar with ice hidden in it, Du Yan couldn't help but make a sound when the cool sour plum soup was poured on his body. Hearing the noise in the yard, Sang Shu, who had not rested in the main room, Lan responded from the room, "What's going on?" "It's okay, Mom, it's really okay." Du Fei shouted to the main room in a panic, and then she hurriedly poured the remaining half of the sour plum soup into Du Yan's house. He stuffed it in his hand, turned around, covered his chest and ran into his room in a panic. Du Yan was also a little uneasy. He recalled the inexplicable softness when he touched his sister's chest just now, plus the fire in his heart that Su Qian's body aroused when he was with Su Qian. In this hot summer, At night, Du Yan actually felt a little hot and unbearable. After taking a gulp of the cold sour plum soup, Du Yan felt a little sober and shook his head mockingly. He replied to his mother vaguely, then turned and walked back to his room. But Du Yan didn¡¯t expect that Song Shulan, who was actually just enjoying the cool air in the house with the lights turned off, could see the scene clearly through the moonlight in the yard. Looking at her children who returned to their respective rooms, Sang Shulan looked thoughtfully at her husband sitting next to her, opened her mouth but said nothing in the end. After the first standing committee meeting, Du Yan could clearly feel that something was wrong with the way the staff in the county party committee looked at him. Those who saw him before and said hello now just looked up when they saw him coming. As for those who were obviously close to Guo Songlin or other members of the Standing Committee, such as Xue Xuefen, sometimes they simply Don't take him seriously. " This is the case for secretaries and leaders. They both prosper and lose. Li Peizheng's situation in Pingling cannot be improved for a while, and Du Yan naturally struggles with it. On the outside, he is prosperous, but in fact, his life is not easy. But Du Yan was not in a hurry. Firstly, he did not believe that Li Peizheng would be so easily suppressed by Guo Songlin. Secondly, he knew that there was somethingThe thing may have happened recently, so I am also waiting for the opportunity. However, a slightly unexpected thing temporarily relieved Li Peizheng. In August 1990, the central government issued a general document titled "Opinions of Party and Government Departments on Deepening the Management of "Small Treasurys"". In the past, this was just a formal document, but Li Peizheng seemed to realize something. He immediately convened a meeting to arrange the work. After listening to the county finance director's report on the fund monitoring of various departments, Li Peizheng silently thought about how to use this opportunity to pry up the iron plate in Pingling that seemed to fit perfectly. Then he reported to the finance director Teng Xingyou A half-month funding review task for each department based on the "Opinions on Governance Work" was arranged. Teng Xingyou was undoubtedly from Guo Songlin, so as soon as he walked out of Li Peizheng's office, he immediately walked through the corridor and turned towards the county magistrate's office on the other side without even having time to cover up. What made Du Yan shake his head slightly was that he even saw Guo Songlin. Xiao Lu, his secretary, was standing at the corner of the corridor waiting for him. "Secretary, Director Teng is very busy," Du Yan, who walked into the office to refill Li Peizheng's tea cup, said casually, "I have to rush to report to County Magistrate Guo as soon as I come out of your place." Hearing Du Yan say this, Li Peizheng raised his head to look at him, but Du Yan just continued pouring water, seemingly not paying attention to what he said. In fact, Li Peizheng didn't expect to achieve anything just by doing this. After all, the Finance Bureau was under Guo Songlin's control. Even if he ordered a strict investigation, it was unlikely that he would find any opportunities. However, this was an opportunity after all. Hit Guo Songlin¡¯s excuse. Just because he didn't know how strong the central government would be in this rectification, Li Peizheng was still hesitant. While packing his things, Du Yan glanced at Li Peizheng. He knew that Li Peizheng was thinking of ways to carry out his work. He could see that although Li Peizheng did have the idea of ??using Pingling's trump card to rectify the small treasury this time, he seemed to be sure of it. Not big, Du Yan knew it was time to add fire! "Secretary, have you heard that there is a province in the south that lost several people in charge of the financial department when they were checking the small treasury?" Du Yan said as if he had just seen the "Opinion", and saw that Li Peizheng was obviously After being stunned, he continued to say casually, "A classmate of mine came from the south to see me two days ago. He said that when they were sorting out the small treasury there, some heads of the financial department thought that this time the central government was just going through the motions and did not come at all. I didn't expect that the central government's efforts were really strong this time, but it turned out that they were still in a prefecture-level city. The director was transferred and the deputy director who was directly responsible was demoted. " "Oh, is that so?" Li Peizheng said. He looked at Du Yan with interest, then picked up the documents on the table and continued reading. , Du Yan knew that he had already said what he needed to say, and the rest was about Li Peizheng. Moreover, he believed that with Li Peizheng's many years of political immersion, he could grasp the most critical information from his seemingly random sentences. The year 1990 is a rather special year, not just because it was the last decade of the 20th century. For Chinese people, because of the major event that happened the previous year, the year 1990 is generally regarded as a reshuffle of the cards. and a year of great adjustment. In order to stabilize the country, the central government has tightened the management of the economic development of the children of cadres and their immediate family members. At the same time, it has also begun to show concern and strong strength in the management of funds, which are known as the three public affairs in later generations. But at the time, not many people really realized this. Not only in the eyes of ordinary people, but even some local officials, the decision issued by the central government on the management of small treasury in various places is just one of many official articles, which is not enough to attract their attention, and because small treasury can Although it is said to be a common phenomenon, no one believes that the central government will really have such great determination and strength to deal with it. After all, there are too many interests involved in this. But Du Yan, who has experienced it, clearly knows that things are not that simple. The management of local small treasury is just the beginning of the central government¡¯s actions. What is about to begin next is a series of major actions to strengthen the economic field and the entire social field that were launched in the early 1990s, to be precise, in the second half of 1990! So Du Yan knew very well that the issuance of the "Opinions" this time was just a small preparation for bigger actions in the future. In this way, in order to ensure smooth follow-up actions without causing a major backlash, the inspection teams subsequently sent by the central government to various regions will not immediately make an official statement regarding the completion of the implementation of the "Opinions" in each region. As for whether the person in charge of the financial department of the southern province who was punished for unfavorable implementation of the "Opinions" he mentioned is indeed the person, Du Yan believes that Li Peizheng will not pay too much attention to it. After all, the economy of the southern provinces is developing rapidly. As a sensitive person, financial departmentThere are many responsible people who have fallen because of economic problems. The key is that he only needs to make Li Peizheng realize that this may be an opportunity to pry the iron plate. Sure enough, the next day Li Peizheng ordered Du Yan to find Teng Xingyou, director of the Finance Bureau, again. After about half an hour of meeting, when he saw Teng Xingyou coming out of Li Peizheng's office with an obviously prouder smile on his face than the previous day, Du Yan couldn't help but sigh slightly and said in his heart, Brother Teng, you are asking for the best of luck. Bar. But Teng Xingyou seemed a little more steady this time. At least when he walked through the corridor to the other side, he paused slightly and didn't rush over immediately. When Teng Xingyou walked into Guo Songlin's office, Guo Songlin was playing with his precious potted plants as usual. When he saw Teng Xingyou, he just motioned to sit down, but did not stop what he was doing. "County Magistrate, Secretary Li finally relented." Teng Xingyou laughed. He was a direct descendant of Guo Songlin and was not very restrained in front of Guo Songlin. "Yesterday, he said that he would investigate strictly and deal with it resolutely. He also said that we, the Finance Bureau, should Hand the report to him as soon as possible, and say today that this work is not so simple and can be done overnight. You have to work hard. Haha, it's so funny. " "What's so funny?" Guo Songlin turned around and wiped his hands. Looking at Teng Xingyou, "Comrade Teng Xingyou, Secretary Li is reminding you to be serious and persistent in your work attitude. This is a guide for your work. You must take the instructions given by the leader seriously and implement them seriously." "Yes, that's right. "County Magistrate, you are right to criticize me. If you persist, please do not thank me." Teng Xingyou looked serious, but he said the last two words very seriously. Guo Songlin glared at Teng Xingyou's face, but then smiled slightly. Seeing Guo Songlin smile, Teng Xingyou also immediately smiled. As a die-hard subordinate of Guo Songlin, he certainly knew that although the fight between Guo Songlin and Li Peizheng had just begun, it was obvious that it was a life-and-death situation. , and it is also the kind of "absolutely irreconcilable conflict", so he is naturally determined to follow Guo Songlin and Li Peizheng to fight to the end. "Secretary Li, you just came to our Pingling and you don't understand many things. In the future, you will not only have to implement the leader's intentions at work, but also serve as more advisers to the leader." Guo Songlin sat down and looked at his proud subordinates. He knew Teng Xingyou can understand what he means. "Of course, county magistrate, don't worry, we will be a good consultant and help Secretary Li do a better job." Teng Xingyou laughed again as he spoke. Looking at the somewhat presumptuous Teng Xingyou, Guo Songlin just smiled. In mid-August, the special review and inspection team of the Central Committee¡¯s ¡°Opinions of Party and Government Departments on In-depth Development of ¡°Small Treasury¡± Governance Work arrived in Taihua City. According to the pre-arranged itinerary, an execution team led by a deputy director of the Ministry of Finance began to conduct routine inspections and spot checks in three counties and one district under Taihua. Although the specifications of the central inspection team this time are not very high, it is enough to cause a lot of excitement in Taihua City. Every unit has received requests to carry out sanitation raids. At the same time, the public security department has also received orders to strengthen social security management and resolutely prevent the occurrence of major criminal cases. For a time, the entire Taihua area was tense, especially in places that were considered likely to be visited by inspection teams. Public security departments in various places were equipped with police forces and a large number of joint defense team members. As for the stalls and carts on the streets, The hawkers, whether in the main streets of Taihua City or the subordinate districts and counties, have already disappeared like birds and beasts. Du Yan¡¯s life became more and more tense. In the last few days, he stayed with Li Peizheng in the county party committee compound. Teng Xingyou's report had already been submitted and was passed smoothly by the Standing Committee. However, what surprised Guo Songlin was that he originally thought that when passing the report, Li Peizheng would make some obvious remarks to save face. be opposed to. But Li Peizheng only asked for the report data to be treated with caution and then allowed the report to pass. This made Guo Songlin feel that he had defeated Li Peizheng invisibly, but he still felt a little strange. Although he didn't believe that Li Peizheng would admit defeat so easily, he looked at the minutes of the meeting that were signed by Tu Xiangdong, the director of the county party committee. His own speeches made Guo Songlin feel proud in his heart: "Who else in Pingling County would be better than me?" Guo Songlin didn't notice. Seeing him handsomely signing his name, Tu Xiangdong frowned slightly. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Taking the First Step On the table, a handling opinion issued by the Central Inspection Team is placed in front of you. The red seal in the lower corner of the document looks extremely eye-catching and shocking. The conference room was very quiet, but the thick smoke was everywhere, and there were a few cigarette butts piled in the ashtray in front of everyone. At the end of August, not long after the central inspection team left Pingling, an opinion on how to deal with problems that arose during the sample survey of cleaning up small treasuries in Taihua City was issued to the district and county-level units in Taihua. Looking at the eye-catching opinions on the handling of the Pingling Finance Bureau's random allocation of approval funds, especially the unauthorized misappropriation of this year's drought relief funds and blatant violation of the earmarked system, Guo Songlin's face became gloomy, even ugly. pole. The signature on the previous Finance Bureau clean-up fund report was now stuck on Guo Songlin's head like a curse. Thinking of the severe criticism he received from Mayor Zhou Tao in the city, Guo Songlin looked at Li Peizheng with a confused look. Somewhat fierce. Although the government at this time did not have greater power as it did in subsequent years, it has become a routine for party committees to control ideology and government finance over the years. Therefore, the big bastard stabbed by Teng Xingyou naturally became Guo Songlin's wound. Especially when he thought of your mayor Zhou Tao reading out the names of several people word by word with the handling opinions, Guo Songlin knew that Teng Xingyou could not be saved. "More than four million, comrades," Li Peizheng's eyes swept over the faces of several members of the Standing Committee. Although his tone was gentle at this time, there was an unquestionable determination. "What is this money for? It is for drought relief. People's life-saving money. What kind of behavior is this? It's just a simple misappropriation of the interests of a small group. This is not only a dereliction of duty, but also a crime." Li Peizheng took a sip and continued: "As the county finance director, Teng Xingyou has direct responsibility. With leadership responsibilities, this comrade is not suitable to continue to hold this position. " Li Peizheng's words made several people in the conference room look at each other. Although they knew that Teng Xingyou could not be saved, they also knew that Li Peizheng would definitely take this opportunity to show off his skills as a secretary. authority, but when things came to pass, it still made several people feel unhappy. "In addition, our organizational department must also reflect on why such an incompetent person can be promoted to a leadership position, and it is still such a key leadership position. This is also a manifestation of our work mistakes." Hearing Li Peizheng's words, Organization Minister Liao Kun He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Li Peizheng would not only take the opportunity to take down Teng Xingyou, but also directly target himself, the head of the organization. "Of course, we cannot deny the work of comrades from the Organization Department, but we must be vigilant when it comes to the appointment and selection of cadres. This is to be responsible for the work entrusted to us by the party, and it is also an explanation to the hundreds of thousands of people in Pingling. " At this point, Li Peizheng finally looked back at Guo Songlin, who was sitting on his left hand. "County magistrate, do you have anything else to add to this matter? " Hearing Li Peizheng's question as if to set the tone, Guo Songlin thought in his heart. There was a fire that almost started. He never expected that such an official document, which seemed to be just a formality, would inexplicably destroy one of his generals. "I support Secretary Li's opinion, Teng Xingyou wants to win!" Guo Songlin took a sip of tea to calm down his anger. "What's your opinion?" Li Peizheng looked at the others. The opinions of the secretary and county magistrate have been unified, and naturally others will no longer have any objections. However, what surprised several members of the Standing Committee was what Li Peizheng said next: "As for the Finance Bureau, I think it can be led by Deputy Director Gong Yerong. In charge of daily work. " Guo Songlin raised his head and glanced at Li Peizheng. Looking at Li Peizheng's calm expression, Guo Songlin finally nodded slightly. Teng Xingyou was captured just like that! No one could have imagined that the God of Wealth, who was so proud a few days ago, would suddenly be taken down because of a routine document that no one paid much attention to. What surprised people even more was that Gong Yerong, the former executive deputy director who succeeded Teng Xingyou as finance director, But it was Li Peizheng who was nominated for the position. In the suite of the county guest house, Li Peizheng looked at the documents in his hand and sometimes looked up at Du Yan sitting opposite. It was obvious what the successful capture of Teng Xingyou meant to Li Peizheng. Just after the Standing Committee meeting, more and more people came to the secretary's office to report on their work. Even those who had clearly been on Guo Songlin's side before began to feel more or less because of Concerned about Li Peizheng's gradually showing strength, he restrained himself. Li Peizheng knew that the reason for this was related to the information that Du Yan had revealed to him before. Although he thought that Du Yan might have provided him with that information by coincidence, he was very satisfied. At least it showed that Du Yan had a good political sense. But when Du YanAfter presenting the proposal he had prepared to help Daqing Township establish a Qingguo Winery, Li Peizheng couldn't help but think of Ding Bingxian's previous evaluation of Du Yan as "a talent." "Xiao Du, it seems that you are not only a good writer, but also an amateur in economics." Li Peizheng said with a smile. He didn¡¯t expect that the proposal, which was only two pages long, covered many things that were not only novel, but even things he had never thought of before. For example, it was proposed to establish cooperation projects with wineries that have technology but relatively poor economic conditions, develop more new wine varieties, organize local people to try planting fruit plants that are suitable for wine making, and even mentioned a general After opening up the production and marketing situation, it serves as a distribution organization for long-distance transportation. All this gave Li Peizheng a new understanding of Du Yan. As he said, if Du Yan gave him the impression before that he was just a small penman who could write articles, now it seems that this young man still has economic expertise to some extent. . "Xiao Du, you have been working for a while, almost a year?" Li Peizheng asked. "Come on, secretary." Du Yan responded. In fact, the total time he spent in the county cultural center was less than a year. "Oh." Li Peizheng said softly and stopped talking. When leaving the county guest house, he "coincidentally" met Gong Yerong, the new acting director of the county finance bureau, on the road not far from the guest house. Du Yan smiled when he saw Gong Yerong, who had obviously been waiting by the roadside for a long time and came over to say hello. . "Secretary Du, what a coincidence." Gong Yerong was not short, but rather bookish. Unlike Teng Xingyou, he was the person mentioned by the old secretary before. In the past few years, as the executive deputy director, although he belonged to the same faction, his relationship with Teng Xingyou was not very good because he and Teng Xingyou failed to compete for the director's position. "What a coincidence, Director Gong, what are you doing," Du Yan looked at Gong Yerong and asked. "I would like to report to Secretary Li about my work, Secretary Du, has Secretary Li taken a break?" Gong Yerong laughed and raised his voice slightly when asking this question, as if he wanted others to hear. "Secretary Li hasn't rested yet," Du Yan said with a smile. He was about to go back and report to Li Peizheng, but then he thought about it and continued, "Director Gong, why don't you go in by yourself? Secretary Li should still be reading the documents at this time. " Gong Yerong couldn't help but move slightly when he saw Du Yan. Naturally, he came to express his gratitude to Li Peizheng for promoting him. Although he is an old secretary and is closer to Guo Songlin, since Li Peizheng was nominated by the Standing Committee, he has to come to thank the leader regardless of emotion or reason. However, Gong Yerong also knew that Guo Songlin would have some opinions about him, so he came to visit Li Peizheng not very late, and he only came after he found out that Du Yan also accompanied Li Peizheng back to the guest house. Although Du Yan is Li Peizheng's secretary, there are rumors that he got lucky just because one of his articles was appreciated. Therefore, Gong Yerong visited Secretary Li in front of Du Yan. Even if someone saw it, it was just a normal favor. contacts. However, Gong Yerong was slightly surprised when Du Yan asked him to go see Li Peizheng by himself. What would outsiders think if they saw this? Would he think that he had already been in contact with Li Peizheng? Would it even make people think that the relationship between the two people has reached the point where they need many secretaries who avoid Li Peizheng? Thinking about this, the way Gong Yerong looked at Du Yan was a little different. He thought that Du Yan couldn't even understand the small details of coming to the door to inform him for the first time. Then the rest was that Du Yan was deliberately telling some people People send some kind of signal. This is the county guest house, so how could no one see me coming to visit Li Peizheng. "Director Gong, I heard that the old secretary's son is doing a lot of business in Qingfeng," Du Yan suddenly said as if unintentionally, "I seem to want to invite the old secretary to come here to provide for him." Gong Yerong's heart moved again. , he didn't know why Du Yan said that at first, but then he suddenly thought, was this reminding him that he was the old secretary and not Guo Songlin's person, and after all, the old secretary had resigned, and Li Peizheng had just nominated him, and now he It seems like the situation is delicate. Gong Yerong, who was thinking this way, had nothing strange on his face. He chuckled and shook hands with Du Yan: "Secretary Du, then I will go and report to Secretary Li first, and we can get together later when we have time." "I don't dare to take that seriously. "Director Gong, please." Du Yan and Gong Yerong shook hands and turned to leave. Looking at Du Yan's back, Gong Yerong sighed secretly. He didn't know if he had made a big mistake this time, but when he knocked on Li Peizheng's door, he was faced with the man who had just walked out of the window. Seeing everything outside, Li Peizheng smiled calmly. It¡¯s another short weekend. Monday is so beautiful.Du Yan, who had the opportunity to spend the day with Su Qian, just walked into the county party committee compound and noticed that people looked at him strangely. He had just walked into the county party committee office to check the office documents for the day. Wu Shenzhong, who was sitting in the back, had already called him: "Xiao Du, come on!" Seeing Wu Shenzhong's smiling expression, Du Yan secretly felt After thinking about it, Wu Shenzheng, who had shown some signs of moving closer to Li Peizheng after Li Yuju, retreated again because of Li Peizheng's defeat in the first Standing Committee meeting. This made Du Yan decide from the bottom of his heart that Wu Shenzheng was not a person who could achieve anything. So although Li Peizheng immediately used the Central Inspection Team's handling decision to regain the situation, and even took advantage of the situation to knock out one of Guo Songlin's capable men, Wu Shenzheng wanted to get closer again, and sometimes wanted to use Du from time to time. Yan sent a message to Li Peizheng to express his loyalty, but Du Yan was no longer so optimistic about Wu Shen. "Xiao Du, it's been more than a month since you entered our county party committee compound," Wu Shenzheng said with a happy smile. "It's like this. When your working relationship was transferred, our county party committee was catching up with the quota of housing allocation in the first half of the year. After using it, don¡¯t talk about you, even Secretary Li is staying in the guest house, haha.¡± Wu Shenzheng laughed dryly when he said this: ¡°But it¡¯s a coincidence that Lao Guo from the Political Research Office was instigating the transfer work for some reason. After you go to the city, a room in this house will be vacated, just for you. However, Lao Guo and his wife have been living apart for a long time, so the house is not big, but it doesn't matter. You can live there for now and adjust it again when you have the opportunity. " Although Wu Shenzheng's voice was not loud, the secretary's room was not very big. Several people sitting not far away could hear it. For a while, the way they looked at Du Yan became even stranger, especially from afar. Xue Xuefen, who was in the office, stood up immediately after hearing the whispers of the people next to her, turned around and walked out of the room angrily. Du Yan did not expect that he would suddenly be assigned a house. He was a little surprised and said to Wu Shenzheng: "Director Wu, this is not good. I am still young. Some old comrades need a house more than me." Wu Shenzheng This time it was quite impressive. He waved his hand and said: "You can't say that. If you are qualified for housing allocation, you should enjoy corresponding treatment. Allocating a house to you is a decision of the county committee. If anyone has different opinions, you can ask the organization If you bring it up, there is no need to pay attention to the small talk below." Looking at Wu Shenzhong's expression full of general demeanor, although Du Yan thought there was something a little strange about his words, he didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until he met with Tu Xiangdong, director of the county party committee office, as Wu Shenzheng said, that he finally understood why people looked at him so strangely before. Not just because he was assigned a house out of nowhere, Tu Xiangdong announced that in accordance with the relevant administrative level regulations, Du Yan's level has been transferred to deputy section. In the previous life, I struggled for a long time but could not achieve the goal of becoming a deputy major, but I did not expect that it would be achieved so inexplicably. However, upon hearing the news, Du Yan found that he was not as happy as he had imagined. Du Yan knew that whether he was a deputy department or was assigned a room, it was actually just a means for Li Peizheng to show his existence to the Pingling officialdom. You can imagine how many people would follow him if a secretary could not even implement the treatment of his own secretary. Let's go. So although it is only a small improvement in secretary level and housing, it sends an obvious signal to those who are still waiting and watching. "Already a deputy subject?" Ding Hongwei, who was sitting on a stone beside the flower bed, asked angrily, "If I had been this secretary, wouldn't the house of this deputy subject belong to me?" Hearing that Ding Hongwei was so unscrupulous Du Yan said something sour, and even though it was funny, he felt relieved. For Ding Hongwei to say it so frankly, it shows that he doesn't really take it to heart. If he really seems to be happy for himself, it's hard to tell if he already has a thorn in his heart. Although we are close friends with Ding Hongwei in both past and present lives, no one can guarantee that as time changes, this initially pure friendship will gradually change with the different circumstances of both parties. Now it seems that Ding Hongwei really doesn¡¯t take it to heart. "Don't you always say you want to do business and look down on those who work in the government?" Du Yan asked with a smile. Du Yan knew that Ding Hongwei had always wanted to go into the sea. Although his idea was strongly opposed by Ding Bingxian, Du Yan knew very clearly that if nothing unexpected happened, Ding Hongwei would eventually put down his iron job and step into the world of that time. In the midst of the surging gold rush, it was just a little late. "Du Yan, what do stocks do?" Ding Hongwei suddenly asked, but then he shook his head, "What's the point of asking you? How do you understand these things." "Stocks?" Du Yan was a little surprised.Looking at Ding Hongwei, of course he knew that the first domestic stock exchange had not yet opened at this time, and precisely because stocks were something with obvious capitalist connotations, some conservative voices not only raised questions, but some even The point where Tsuna is online. But he didn't expect that Ding Hongwei would be interested in this. And it was Ding Hongwei's casual words that made a vague idea that was brewing in Du Yan's mind become clear. "I heard that those things are a way for the Western bourgeoisie to plunder people's wealth, just like those pornographic novels in manuscripts." Ding Hongwei lowered his voice slightly and said, "By the way, speaking of manuscripts, you know, the one behind the cultural center Several empty rooms that were originally warehouses were used as video studios. The boss found a bunch of pornographic video tapes from somewhere. During the day, he showed some Hong Kong gunfight and martial arts films, and at night, he showed those pornographic videos. You are so courageous, do you really risk it?" Du Yan asked a little funny. He knew that Li, the director of the cultural center, was always cautious, but he didn't expect that he would still have such courage. "Why are you so brave? Lao Li only dared to do this because he saw that the boss seemed to have some backing. By the way, do you want to take a look?" Ding Hongwei had a smirk on his fat face. "Don't be so big. I¡¯m so tall, I don¡¯t even know how to make out with Su Qian, how about we go and get to know her better?¡± ¡°Fuck you, we haven¡¯t eaten or seen anything, that¡¯s all for a little brat like you. Like a baby." Du Yan cursed with a smile, saying that for him who has been tested for a long time in AV, the current level 3 video tapes from Hong Kong and Taiwan are really not attractive. Just when Ding Hongwei curled his lips and was about to sneer at him, Du Yan's heart suddenly moved again, and then he showed a strange smile: "It's okay to take a look, take a look." Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 23 Chapter 23 My name is M It was still a single room in Liyuju. Du Yan and Wang Lianyi, the director of the West Market Police Station, were sitting together and were already slightly drunk. Wang Lianyi has not been the acting director for a long time. He has officially gone to "generation" a few days ago and immediately set up a banquet to invite Du Yan. Wang Lianyi was young but not confused. He knew that his talents as director were too light, and at that time, Liu Laofei had no choice but to fill the vacancy. If other deputy directors were there at that time, he would have said that Maybe nothing would happen to him, so he became more cautious. The former head of the West Market Police Station, Chen Guangfa, has been transferred to a remote township station as an ordinary police officer. However, Wang Lianyi knew that although Chen Guangfa was not Liu Laofa's person, he was still very filial to him. In this way, in order not to lose this opportunity, Wang Lianyi was not far away from Du Yan during this period. He naturally hoped to catch up with Li Peizheng through Du Yan, especially after watching Liu Laofei in Du Yan that day. After hearing the embarrassment in front of Yan, his heart became even warmer. Slowly pouring a glass of wine, Wang Lianyi raised the glass: "Duke, I didn't say anything, this glass of wine represents all sincerity. If you don't greet me in the future, you will be looking down on me, Wang Lianyi." Although his face was slightly red, he looked down. , there was sweat on his forehead, but Wang Lianyi kept the buttons of his police uniform tightly buttoned. Listening to Wang Lianyi who deliberately imitated the casual tone of the police officers below, Du Yan couldn't help but smile. He knew that a young man like Wang Lianyi, who had just graduated from the police academy and became the deputy director, must have some background, and his previous words and deeds were not so rough. Now that Wang Lianyi can lower his figure as much as possible, it is good. Hearing Wang Lianyi call himself Du Ke, Du Yan felt a little emotional. In addition to being selected as a deputy section at the administrative level, according to convention, the secretary of the county party committee secretary usually also serves as the director of the secretary office of the county party committee office, so Secretary Du suddenly changed his identity. It became a veritable Duko. "Wang Suo, I'll have to trouble you in the future." Du Yan also raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, but the spiciness made him cough repeatedly. "What do you mean, eat the food, eat the food." Wang Lianyi quickly patted Du Yan's back. Seeing that Du Yan didn't seem to be very drunk, but he still had sex with him, Wang Lianyi couldn't help but feel ashamed. There was light on his face, and he felt even happier. "Duke, I can see it. You haven't developed your drinking capacity yet. So you can do whatever you want. We are our own people and we don't want to be so polite." "I really don't have the capacity to drink. From now on." You have to practice." Du Yan sighed helplessly. He used to be a drunkard, but he didn't expect that he would make any progress now. There was a sound of footsteps from outside, and there was a double knock on the door of the single room. A waiter came in carrying a large, tightly covered enamel jar. It looked like the jar was quite heavy, but it did not attract Du Yan's attention. It was a middle-aged man who came in behind her. Du Yan knew him. He was the owner of Liyuju. His name was Shen Hefu. He seemed to be a capable person. He started his own business in the 1980s when the reform began, and made his fortune by doing small business. Especially for Liyuju, he was They almost lost all their money and just built on a piece of vacant land that no one was optimistic about. At that time, there was still a wasteland near Liyuju. Many people thought that Shen Hefu was wrong this time and would lose everything. But no one expected that his vision was so great. Over the past few years, Liyuju not only had a booming business, but also brought a lot of excitement to the surrounding area. It even vaguely seemed to have become another small central area in Pingling County. The waiter had already used a towel to open the enamel lid of the jar. Looking at the red oil and a lot of bright red peppers floating inside, Wang Lianyi remembered that he had not ordered this dish. Although he felt strange, he did not say anything. "Duke, Wang Suo, this is a new dish from our restaurant," Shen Hefu waved the waiter out, then picked up a cup and filled it himself, "Wang Suo Rongsheng, Du Ke can come to our restaurant to eat, it's all for me." Old Shen, I'll just thank you both for this glass of wine." After hearing Shen Hefu's words, Du Yan and Wang Lianyi also raised their glasses. Although Shen Hefu seemed to be smiling when they talked about it, they were doing business early and opened it. The hotel has a wide network of contacts in Pingling, so it should not be underestimated. "To tell you the truth, you two, I am also a new chef. I don't know if I can make Sichuan or Cantonese cuisine. Come on, you two are just helping me with the interview. How about trying this red oil game?" I'll keep him when he's done eating. If he doesn't, he'll be a jerk." Although Wang Lianyi laughed and scolded Shen and Fu for using him as a test subject, he still invited Du Yan to pick up the chopsticks and start eating. Du Yan looked at Shen Hefu who seemed to be really waiting to hear how the guests commented on the dishes. He couldn't help but admire this man for being so well-rounded and good at being a good person. Such a few casual words could bring the two parties closer. Seeing Wang Lianyi's ?Son, not only will this Carp House avoid any trouble in the future, it will also become the designated consumption point of the West Market Police Station. Shen Hefu was very understanding. After toasting with a glass of wine, he took the opportunity to leave without bothering him. Du Yan couldn't help but look at him more highly. This man at least knew how to advance and retreat. Maybe it was because it was time for dinner, but Liyuju slowly became lively. People were taking their seats in the private rooms on both sides, and laughter could be heard from time to time. "The business of Liyuju is really good. It's a pity that we don't think it looks prestige, but in fact, how much money can we make in a month?" After drinking too much, Wang Lianyi slowly let go and chatted a few more casually. After that, he slowly began to get to the point, "Duke, don't worry here in the West Market. Although I, Xiao Wang, am not qualified to work for Secretary Li, I will never cause trouble to Secretary Li and you, Du Ke." "It's all work, no one can cause trouble to anyone." Du Yan put down his chopsticks and smiled lightly. This Wang Lianyi is still a little young, and he knows some things in his heart but there is no need to say them out loud. However, it is easy to handle this way. At least he is better than those old fritters. After practicing for a while, he may be a help. Another burst of piercing laughter came from next door, which also included the waiter's low voice, which seemed to be a little panicked. Du Yan frowned slightly. Wang Lianyi was about to stand up, but Du Yan held him back. "Forget it, don't worry about it too much. Some things are inevitable." Although he knew that Wang Lianyi might be just pretending, Du Yan didn't mind. If he was really the kind of confused person who just came out of the police academy. Qing, sometimes it¡¯s hard to handle. ¡°Brothers, that piece is pretty good, isn¡¯t it?¡± A voice came from next door. "It's so exciting. It's so exciting. What do you think of other people? It will make you feel angry after reading it." "You are still angry. You are angry, so you can just hold it in. Where can you get out? How about letting the little sister get out? Help you to get out of trouble?" There was another voice full of obscenity, and the room next door immediately burst into laughter. "Are we still going tonight? I heard that the show at night is more erotic and has real guns and live ammunition." "Really, anyone really dares to act like that?" "That's nothing, I heard that there are a group of men and women in foreign countries. How about we talk to the little girl in the store and cook it in a big pot? " Louder laughter came from next door, and Wang Lianyi's face began to look a little uneasy, even though the people next door were just He was taking advantage of him, but after all, Li Yuju was in his control. It was always not good for Du Yan to hear this. Listening to the noise next door, Du Yan put down his chopsticks and leaned towards Wang Lianyi as if he remembered something: "Wang Suo, I remembered something and I need to tell you." "Duke, tell me." Wang Lianyi asked cautiously, he He was afraid that Du Yan wouldn't find him. "A few days ago, there was a report that someone rented a house at the county cultural center and played videos with pornographic content inside. You know I came from the cultural center. So after hearing the news, I took it seriously and talked about the county. The management here has been strict in this area recently, and Secretary Li has also heard about it.¡± ¡°Oh, Secretary Li already knows?¡± Wang Lianyi¡¯s heart skipped a beat, ¡°Duke, you know that I have just taken office. Before they" "I know that you have just taken over a lot of things in the institute and haven't sorted it out yet. It is inevitable that there will be some small mistakes outside, but we should try to solve this matter as soon as possible. If it comes to it, Secretary Li will pay attention to it. Well, you are a little passive." Du Yan said looking at Wang Lianyi whose expression changed a little. Wang Lianyi seemed to have woken up a lot from his drunkenness. While he picked up the tissue paper on the table and wiped his forehead gently, he did not forget to say to Du Yan repeatedly: "Thank you, Du Ke, how can I thank you for this?" " "No thanks, isn't it all work," Du Yan responded casually and then said, "But you'd better implement this matter as soon as possible, so let me and my colleagues from the cultural center. Let¡¯s get in touch and see if I can meet with you to understand the situation, so that we can be sure of the matter.¡± ¡°Yes, it would be better if we could directly understand the situation.¡± Wang Lianyi breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still calm. The words of the secretary of the county party committee are unlikely to be false, but after all, it involves the cultural center, so he always has to be cautious. Du Yan left the private room and went to the counter below, and called Ding Bingxian's home. Fortunately, Ding Hongwei happened to be at home. Ding Hongwei, who answered the phone, quickly rode his squeaking 28-car to Liyuju. When he entered the single room, he was about to call out a few times, but when he saw Wang Lianyi, Ding Hongwei couldn't help but was slightly startled. "Let me introduce, this is Director Wang from the West Market Police Station, and this is my colleague Ding Hongwei from the Cultural Center." Du Yan introduced. Seeing that Wang Lianyi didn't seem to know who Ding Hongwei was, he continued, "Hweiwei's father is Ping Hongwei." Lingtong?Editor-in-Chief ??Ding. " "Oh, hello, hello. "Wang Lianyi immediately became very enthusiastic. He thought he was just an ordinary colleague of Du Yan. After hearing Du Yan's introduction, he thought that it was his father's relationship that allowed him to get close to the secretary of the county party secretary. Naturally, he did not dare to Neglect. But he didn¡¯t know that Du Yan and Ding Hongwei were really friends. ¡°Hweiwei, what you and Wang said about the rental houses was the same thing you told me two days ago. " Du Yan said with a smile, and then he did not forget to remind: "Keep your voice down, there is someone next door who has seen the yellow tape, don't let the other side hear it. " Hearing that the pornographic video tape was mentioned, Ding Hongwei glanced at Du Yan in surprise. Of course, he had not forgotten Du Yan's ambiguous expression when he heard that the video hall of the cultural center was showing the pornographic video tape, but he only thought that Du Yan was really I wanted to go to see him for a long time, but I didn't expect that he seemed to be trying to stir up something. "Du Yan, will this cause trouble in the library? Lao Li" Ding Hongwei asked tentatively. He didn¡¯t want to see Old Li either, but he couldn¡¯t bear the thought that Old Li might be affected if this matter got serious. ¡°If we really find out the problem, Old Li might have to take some leadership responsibility, but things should be fine now. It's not big. If it really gets big in the future, it won't hurt him even more. " Ding Hongwei nodded listening to Du Yan's specious explanation, and then began to tell Wang Lianyi about the rental of the cultural center. Looking at the two people, Du Yan, who was sitting aside, slowly picked up the wine glass on the table and gently I took a sip. The thing is actually very simple. In order to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, the County Cultural Center cleared out a few vacant rooms in the back streets as warehouses and rented them out. So someone used the rent until the end of the year to rent them as a video studio. It was quite orderly for a while, but as time went on, things became more and more chaotic. Eventually, the nightclub almost became a third-level special event, which made the owner of the video parlor really make a small fortune. Listen, Ding. Wang Lianyi was really embarrassed by the grand explanation. In fact, he had heard about someone playing pornographic videos in the video hall of the cultural center. However, because he heard that the boss seemed to have some connections and backers, he did not dare to act rashly. However, Now looking at Du Yan who was sitting next to him without saying a word but staring at him, and remembering that Secretary Li knew about this matter, Wang Lianyi knew that he could not be careless this time. Send people to stay there at night, and as soon as there is evidence, they will immediately bring the video room. "Wang Lianyi vowed to make a promise. "Then we will wait for the good news from Wang Suo. "Du Yan said with a smile. Ding Hongwei looked at that look and secretly curled his lips. When he left Liyuju, Ding Hongwei asked Du Yan: "When did you learn to act like a leader? ", Du Yan pretended to recall it, and said, "After I was promoted to associate degree," Ding Hongwei just responded to Du Yan's self-righteousness with a rather classic international gesture. "Are you interested in watching the fun later? "Du Yan suddenly asked Ding Hongwei. Ding Hongwei nodded excitedly, and then looked at Du Yan strangely: "Why are you so concerned about this matter? " "You will know in the future," Du Yan laughed, and then pulled Ding Hongwei and walked toward the Cultural Center. "Big World" is the name of the video hall on the back street of the County Cultural Center, but the name is not small and the appearance is not big. At night, the words "Big World Video Hall" painted with red paint can be seen clearly from a distance. Du Yan and Ding Hongwei stand under the shadow of the trees across the street. They can't see clearly from the opposite side. I saw a short man wearing a large floral shirt and a pair of fat pants standing at the door of the video hall, looking slutty. He was wearing a pair of huge sunglasses on his face at night. Although he was far away, he was swaying from his side. Judging from his imitating movements and tone-deaf tune, this person seems to be humming a classic Michael Jackson tune. However, his movements don¡¯t look like Markle Jackson¡¯s famous moonwalk, but more like a drunk crab. ¡° Third child, are you back? "A few people who looked like unemployed people walked over and greeted the flower shirts, "I went to the south for a long time this time, and I must have made a lot of money. "Brothers, please go in and watch for yourself. I'm willing to undress for the main show. It's absolutely hot," the flower shirt said without forgetting while shaking his body. "And don't open and shut up from now on. You're like "Old Three, Old Three." Ah, people in the south all have foreign names. I also had one. From now on, I will be called by a foreign name. " "I can't tell. I've been traveling to the south for a few days to make a living. What's your foreign name, third brother? "A person asked jokingly. "There is no singer named MJ, so my name is MT! "Hua Shirt announced loudly. Several people entered the video hall noisily.Flower Shirt was still humming while taking crab steps outside. But just as he took a few more steps back and forth, two police cars suddenly drove over from the corner of the back street. The sound of the brakes was extremely harsh at night. Before the flowery shirt could react, several policemen jumped out of the police cars. Already waving the baton in his hand and rushing into the video room. Immediately afterwards, there was a chaotic noise in the video hall. Then a group of shirtless people wearing slippers were escorted out by the police and joint defense team members. By the light from the opposite side, Du Yan saw Wang Lianyi walking up to the flowered shirt that was pinned to the table next to the sidewalk. "Are you the owner of the video hall?" Wang Lianyi took the videotape handed over by a joint defense team member and looked at it. "What's your name for blatantly spreading obscene videos?" Because of the sudden shout, Hua Shirt was so frightened that he opened his mouth and said: "MT. "How dare you curse!" A joint defense team member who didn't hear clearly punched the flowery shirt in the stomach, causing him to squat down immediately. "No, no, my name is Mao Tong!" Hua Shirt immediately shouted, "Comrades, you must have misunderstood, we are all our own people." "Who is your own people," Wang Lianyi shouted angrily, "Bring both the people and the evidence back to the place. "Comrade, we are really not outsiders, my wife is Xue Xuefen from the county party committee!" Hua Shirt didn't forget to shout when he was pulled into the car. "After watching the play, it's time to go back." Looking at the scene across the street, Du Yan said to Ding Hongwei with a smile. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Salute to Teacher Chen The news that the county cultural center was caught in a pornographic video hall soon spread in Pingling County. In this era, this kind of thing still attracts a lot of attention, especially when it involves the county cultural center. All kinds of rumors spread all over the county. Some people say that the owner of the video studio has a powerful backer, and this time it may be lively. Others say that when the police station arrested people, not only were pornographic videos playing inside, but there were also a group of men and women gathering to have sex, and they were escorted out by the police. At that time, many people were still naked Yes, the woman carried out Sun Dewen, deputy secretary of the county party committee, which made Wang Lianyi lose his mind for a moment. Although he was not very clear, Wang Lianyi had also heard about Secretary Li and County Magistrate Guo. Secretary Sun seemed to be not quite right. At this time, he had also vaguely guessed that Du Yan had revealed to him about the video room of the County Cultural Center, which might have been involved. Conflicts among the leaders of the county party committee, but although he knew that he was involved in the whirlpool of leadership struggle, there was nothing he could do about it. Moreover, in the eyes of people like Wang Lianyi who were far away from the county party committee, Li Peizheng was the secretary of the county party committee after all, so he still had the advantage. of. So he didn¡¯t care about Xue Xuefen¡¯s words. He didn¡¯t pay much attention after leaving perfunctorily. But after Liu Laofei called him in the afternoon, Wang Lianyi finally couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. He called Du Yan and inquired carefully, wanting to know Secretary Li's attitude towards how to deal with this matter. "Wang Suo, don't worry. Secretary Li's attitude is resolute. He is resolute against pornography, gambling, and drugs that endanger society. He also supports the public security organs in acting in accordance with the law and adhering to principles." Du Yan rarely used an official tone. He also knew this. Wang Lianyi must be allowed to stand up to him at this time. But after putting down the phone, Du Yan fell into deep thought. In his memory, although the incident in the video hall did trigger another major event that caused a sensation in Pingling and even in Taihua City, because it was so old and there was no such thing as himself as a factor at the time, many of the details were obviously different from what they are now. It was different, which reminded him that he had to be more cautious, otherwise things might develop differently. In the conference room of the County Party Committee Building, Li Peizheng frowned and looked at Propaganda Minister Cheng Yaobin sitting far away from the table. The news that the pornographic video tape was caught in the video room of the County Cultural Center spread throughout the county party committee compound early the next morning. This made Li Peizheng very angry. He had no scheduled meeting, but in the afternoon he convened an impromptu standing committee meeting. The county public security bureau Elder Liu Laofei and the county cultural director also attended the meeting. After listening to Liu Laofei¡¯s report, Li Peizheng glanced at Guo Songlin, who had been silent next to him, and looked at the sweat on the face of Director Wu of the Cultural Bureau and the gloomy face of Cheng Yaobin, the Propaganda Minister of the County Party Committee. Guo Songlin was also very angry at this time. During this period, Li Peizheng's voice at the county committee meeting has become much tougher. With Teng Xingyou's incident, Li Peizheng made his voice heard for the first time at the standing committee meeting, and then again When it comes to appointing a new director, he took advantage of the situation and promoted deputy director Gong Yerong. Guo Songling did not object to Gong Yerong's appointment, but because it was Li Peizheng's nomination, the taste changed somewhat. In addition, not long ago, the video studio incident suddenly occurred. Depending on what Li Peizheng meant, this time the county culture Director Wu of the Bureau may need to eat some cheese, which makes Guo Songlin feel that it cannot continue like this. He glanced at Sun Dewen opposite for a moment. Although it was not clear, Guo Songlin knew that Sun Dewen seemed to have an affair with a female clerk in the county party committee, and it was rumored that the husband of the female clerk was the owner of the video hall. Sure enough, just as he was thinking about it, Sun Dewen spoke: "The video hall is a new thing, and it will inevitably have problems of one kind or another. We can't beat all the new things in our institute to death just because of small problems. This is not in line with the spirit of reform and opening up. " "Secretary Sun, do the new things you mentioned include pornography, gambling, and drugs, which are only harmful and have no positive effects?" Li Peizheng asked bluntly. Du Yan seemed to be gossiping when he was at work. After telling him about the video room in a simple way, Li Peizheng had already thought that this was useful news. "Comrades, our reform is to cross the river by feeling for the stones, but why touch the stones? Because this is something that has never been experienced before. , In this case, we must be more cautious, especially some things that will have side effects during the reform, and we must take them seriously and deal with them resolutely." Li Peizheng's words shocked several members of the Standing Committee present. They knew that. Li Peizheng took this opportunity to strike, and Liu Laofei, who was sitting by the window, couldn't help but look at the ugly-faced Director Wu next to him, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes. And Tu Xiangdong, who was sitting at the end of the table, was listeningAfter hearing Li Peizheng's words, he raised his head and looked at Li Peizheng across from him, then lowered his head again, writing something in the notebook. When several members of the Standing Committee walked out of the conference room at the end of the meeting, the staff who happened to pass by found that Cheng Yaohui, who was always good-tempered and smiling, was livid, and deputy secretary Sun Dewen's face was not so good-looking. County Magistrate Guo Songlin, on the other hand, could not tell much from his appearance, but when his secretary Xiao Lu walked over to pick up his water glass and notebook, he was scolded. The handling of the Cultural Bureau came out quickly. Li, the director of the County Cultural Center, was given an administrative beating because he was taking the main responsibility, and Director Wu of the County Cultural Bureau was also given a demerit because he was taking the leadership responsibility. The County Public Security Bureau was praised for handling the problem in a timely manner. This made Liu Laofei seem to be a celebrity of the new secretary, but outsiders could not know what was going on inside. As for Mao Tong, the owner of the video hall who calls himself MT, he is really unlucky. According to Li Peizheng's instructions, I heard that it seems that it is not just as simple as a fine and detention, but he seems to be held accountable by law. When these rumors spread everywhere, Du Yan suddenly asked Li Peizheng for a few days' leave in the name of family matters. Li Peizheng agreed happily. He was very satisfied with Du Yan's recent performance. In addition to his qualities as a secretary, Du Yan seemed to be casual several times in a row, but in fact it brought benefits to him. At least It was a move that created an opportunity. Li Peizheng felt that this young man could be regarded as his lucky general. "Let's settle the family matters first. As the ancients said, if the family can rule the country and bring peace to the world." Li Peizheng rarely said a joke. His recent attacks on the Standing Committee have given him a lot of say. Compared with The situation that I was in more than a month ago has gradually improved. Du Yan can be said to have contributed a lot to this. Du Yan, who thanked Li Peizheng, packed up his things and left the county party committee compound. However, he did not go home but went to the county cultural center. At this time, people in the cultural center were already in a state of panic. During the meeting, County Culture Director Wu almost cursed the street in front of dozens of people, and the table was banged with a loud bang. As for Director Li, who was sitting next to him with his head lowered, It was like going back to the criticism and struggle meetings during the turmoil. Immediately, news spread around the cultural center that Lao Li might retire early. This made some people seem to see hope, especially the two deputy directors who had the opportunity to take a step forward. After the meeting, they even surrounded Director Wu to show their hospitality. . Du Yan waited for a long time in the small restaurant opposite the cultural center before he saw Ding Hongwei walking out with a canvas bag on his back. He didn't want anyone to see him at this time. He had already seen being beaten by several people before. Surrounded by Director Wu who left, he knew that if he appeared at the cultural center at this time, he might not be able to escape. So he called Ding Hongwei at the county party committee office in advance and asked him to meet him at the small restaurant opposite the cultural center. "Everyone in the museum is going crazy now," Ding Hongwei laughed when he saw Du Yundang. "You can't tell. Now that you Du Ke is stamping his feet, at least the Western Market will tremble." Ignore Ding Hongwei's nonsense. Badao, Du Yan just asked: "Did you bring me the things?" "Yes," Ding Hongwei opened the canvas bag. "Are you going to travel? Are you going with Su Qian?" "I promised her for a while. She will be unhappy if it takes too long." Du Yan took out a leather camera case from the canvas bag while dealing with the inquiring Ding Hongwei, and took out a slightly old-fashioned Leica camera from it. Fiddled with it a few times. "Be careful, this is a treasure in our library. I spent a lot of time to get it out of Xiao Cai." Ding Hongwei warned, "By the way, if you don't have enough film, you have to buy it yourself. Xiao Cai is too stingy. "Give me two rolls." "Two rolls are enough," Du Yan said, raising the camera to focus on the County Cultural Center opposite the window, and then turned back and smiled at Ding Hongwei. Since the video hall was closed, Xue Xuefen has not gone to work. Many people who know the inside story naturally think that she is avoiding the limelight, and people are already speculating that Xue Xuefen's time in the county committee office is over. After all, she has She is obviously not suitable to stay in the county committee office for this kind of matter. Some people who had been angered by Xue Xuefen before were naturally happy. Although there were rumors that Xue Xuefen had an ambiguous relationship with deputy secretary Sun Dewen, and Sun Dewen seemed to have objected to the expansion of the video hall incident at the Standing Committee, Secretary Li's strong attitude on this matter , Secretary Sun seemed to have died down subsequently, so for many people who couldn't see clearly the details, Xue Xuefen was obviously going to be unlucky this time. Two naked bodies were twisting hard on the bed. Although one of them was a little clumsy due to his fat body, maybe it was because the video he just watched was too exciting, so even thoughThe movements are a bit difficult, but I still challenge the difficulty level again and again, and I enjoy it. "Secretary Sun, do you agree or not? What will happen to my damn family?" Xue Xuefen tried her best to greet and asked, "You can't be sentenced just because you let some tape go." "Don't mention your damn family at this time," Sun Dewen said While working hard, she muttered, "Wouldn't it be better for the unlucky guy to go to prison? We will be freer." She secretly cursed Sun Dewen for his wickedness, but Xue Xuefen still took advantage of Sun Dewen's happiness to beg: "But there are still children. , Besides, if he goes in and leaves us orphans and widowers with a bad reputation, it will be inconvenient for us to interact with you." "That's true," Sun Dewen stood up and thought for a while, "He doesn't even care about the big teapot. Others really can't say anything." "You old man, what do you think of me?" Xue Xuefen felt annoyed when she heard Sun Dewen referring to her husband as a big teapot in the brothel in the past. "I won't torture you to death. "Look who is torturing whom," Sun Dewen said with a smile, but he suddenly remembered something and got up from Xue Xuefen, "Do you really want the dead ghost in your family to come out?" "Of course, he is also the father of the child." "Okay, listen to me, let's learn what's going on there," Sun Dewen said, licking his lips at the video being played, "Let's go outside and have some fun." "Are you crazy? How can you let others see you?" Xue Xuefen Shocked. "That's called excitement. Let's try that style too." Sun Dewen smiled obscenely and pulled Xue Xuefen up to urge her to put on her clothes. Du Yan has been staying at a remote riverside not far from Liyuju for the past two days, but there has been no news. He has already begun to wonder if he remembered the wrong place, or maybe at that time in this life. It won't happen. Just as he kept fiddling with the Leica camera in his hand, which was known as the "treasure of the county cultural center" in some frustration, as a trampoline parked on the river embankment in the distance, his already gradually disappointed heart suddenly became violent. It jumped a few times. From a distance, Du Yan saw two figures walking along the path down the river embankment. When he was sure that they were the people he was waiting for, Du Yan couldn't help but smile to himself. The place where Du Yan stayed was an earthen platform built during the construction of the river embankment. If he was on the high river embankment, he could naturally be seen, but once he went under the river embankment, he would not be visible on the earthen platform. There are people. Looking at the two people who walked down the river embankment and then followed the path into the bushes, Du Yan couldn't help but sigh that something finally happened. In Du Yan¡¯s memory, it was when Sun Dewen and Xue Xuefen were having an affair on this riverside that they were caught by a joint defense team member who happened to be passing by! That incident caused a sensation throughout Pingling and even Taihua, so much so that a veteran Taihua cadre who heard the news cursed in public. It is said that even Cui Jianbin, the usually prudent Party Secretary of Taihua City, was so angry that he cursed: "Shame on you!" Du Yan knew that although cars and field battles were highly speculated more than ten or twenty years later, after all, they were not It is not a very new thing, but in the early 1990s, this kind of thing was simply deviant, and this kind of thing happened to a member of the Standing Committee of the District and County Party Committee, and the shock it caused at the time was unimaginable. Du Yan also remembered that much later, some of the inside stories came out, but the reason why Xue Xuefen agreed to Sun Dewen's ridiculous request was just because her husband Mao Tong was caught playing a pornographic video in the video room by the local police station. . It is impossible to trace who reported Mao Tong at that time, but in this life, it was Du Yan himself who pushed and triggered this inevitable event. When Ding Hongwei mentioned that the video hall of the county cultural center was playing pornographic videos, Du Yan realized that he was facing a good opportunity. After two days of anxious waiting, he finally got this opportunity. As for the joint defense team members who would come out in his memory to disrupt the good deeds of those two people, Du Yan had already prepared for it. The day after the video hall was blocked, Du Yan had a phone call with Wang Lianyi and vaguely told him that because of pornography After the video incident, county leaders had some thoughts on the homeless people on the streets, especially in the West Market area. After hearing the news, Wang Lianyi immediately understood what it meant. After thanking Du Ke for his care, he immediately summoned the police officers and joint defense team members in the station and began to focus on strengthening the rectification and investigation of the streets in the West Market area. It is estimated that at this time , the West Market area is in a state of turmoil. From the platform, you can clearly see the two figures hiding under a recessed wooden gate, watching them take off their clothes, and then watching Sun Dewen, who is already quite old, pressing Xue Xuefen under him anxiously. , Du Yan sighed helplessly. "Greetings to Teacher Chen?. "When he pressed the shutter, Du Yan said something philosophical in his heart. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Unlucky "Aventure" Looking at some blurry and some clear photos on the table, Du Yan thought about it secretly. Du Yan really put a lot of effort into developing these photos. Fortunately, he was good at developing photos himself. After finding an excuse to return the camera the next day, these photos were born in the darkroom of the County Cultural Center. Now Du Yan is wondering how useful these things will be. Du Yan knew that what he did was not in line with official rules. Even if these things could become a tool to threaten Sun Dewen in the future, as long as Sun Dewen was still in office, these photos would become a double-edged sword. While threatening Sun Dewen, they would also It may become evidence against yourself. Du Yan wrapped the photos and kept them, never using them unless absolutely necessary! After beating the cadres in Pingling several times in succession, Li Peizheng's work gradually got on the right track. Although some cadres were still working against the rules in private, at least on the surface, no one dared to ignore the words of the new county party secretary. Disregarding it, as for the County Standing Committee, after several contests, Guo Songlin became a lot more cautious. Although he still used his advantage in the Standing Committee to suppress some of Li Peizheng's proposals from time to time, he was not as cautious as he was at the beginning. Almost completely one-sided. Although it was not easy to do this in less than two months after arriving in Pingling, Du Yan knew that Li Peizheng was not very satisfied. Du Yan knew that Li Peizheng was the kind of ambitious cadre who really wanted to do something. Therefore, it is difficult for Li Peizheng to bear to waste his energy on arguing and fighting with other people every day. But Li Peizheng also knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed. The car was speeding on the road, looking at the golden fields on both sides of the road, Li Peizheng rarely felt much better. In mid-August, the Taihua Municipal Party Committee issued a central spiritual document on strengthening the party¡¯s leadership and correcting the party¡¯s style and discipline in the new era to its subordinate districts and counties. With the changes in the political situation in Eastern European countries, the domestic debate on whether to continue the reform has become increasingly fierce. After receiving the notice of the meeting, Li Peizheng took Du Yan to attend the city's meeting on studying central documents. This was also the first time Du Yan came to Taihua City as Li Peizheng's secretary. Taihua City has an administrative area of ??8,127 square kilometers. It governs two counties and one district, with a total population of more than 1.2 million. Even if Taihua is not at the bottom of Hexi Province, it is still inconspicuous. Compared with several other cities at the same level, Taihua City has an administrative area of ??8,127 square kilometers. In comparison, Taihua's only advantage is the industrial base left over from the early third-line construction. However, in recent years, these previous advantages have gradually begun to turn into burdens. The Taihua Municipal Party Committee is located in an old-fashioned building on Tuanjie Road. The gray exterior wall of the Municipal Party Committee building can be seen from a distance. Like many governments of this period, the Taihua Municipal Party Committee building also had a rather distinctive appearance that imitated the Soviet Union many years ago. The magnificent building seems a bit out of date compared to some of the contemporary buildings nearby. Du Yan accompanied Li Peizheng into the municipal party committee building. Looking at the majestic building in front of him, Du Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. In his memory, this municipal party committee building will disappear in a few years, and a completely modern government office building will appear on the original site. However, as the new office building rises from the ground, Taihua City will Many officials fell down. As Li Peizheng walked, he nodded, smiled or said hello to the people who came to him. Before he was appointed secretary of the Pingling County Party Committee, he served as the executive deputy secretary-general of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee. Naturally, he couldn't help but say hello when he saw colleagues he was familiar with before. . Walking through a slightly dim corridor, Li Peizheng took Du Yan to an office with an open door. Seeing Li Peizheng, a young man in his thirties who was sitting in the outer secretary's room stood up and said with a smile: "Secretary-General Li, you are here." Then he smiled slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry for looking at my bad memory. "Hello, Secretary Li." "Secretary Deng, long time no see." Li Peizheng shook hands with the young man, then turned around and introduced, "This is Secretary Cui's secretary Deng, and this is my secretary Du Yan. Secretary Deng will be available later." Give him more guidance." "Learn from each other, learn from each other." Secretary Deng had a smile on his face, and although he was not very affectionate when shaking hands with Du Yan, he was quite easy-going. "Secretary Li, wait a minute and let me see if Secretary Cui is free now," Secretary Deng said and then turned around and went into the inner room. After a while he came out, "Secretary Li, Secretary Cui, please come in." Li Peizheng He smiled and nodded, then tidied up his appearance slightly and pushed the door open and walked into the secretary's office. Seeing Li Peizheng enter the room, Secretary Deng smiled at Du Yan and said hello to him to sit wherever he wanted. Then he returned to his seat and started busy with his own things. But Du Yan knew that he was not suitable to stay in the secretary's office.?, he walked out of the secretary's office and came to the corridor. Looking at the closed doors on both sides of the corridor, he couldn't help but wonder what was happening behind those doors. There was a crisp sound of footsteps, and hearing the sound that was obviously the sound of high heels hitting the ground, Du Yan looked back in surprise. A young woman wearing a white women's shirt on her upper body and a light gray professional skirt on her lower body came over. Her originally thick black hair was neatly tied back with a hairpin, and her beautiful but majestic eyes were unusually clear because she wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. However, her high nose bridge and small nose made her She looked a little naughty. Under the sunlight outside the window, the shadow trailing on the ground made her slender figure even taller. Especially when she passed by Du Yan, Du Yan clearly saw her exposed Outside the lapel of his shirt, there were a few small drops of sweat floating on his delicate and slender neck. Seemingly noticing the eyes of the people next to her, the young woman turned slightly to look at Du Yan. When she found that Du Yan seemed to be looking at her neck, the young woman's eyes immediately became stern. She looked directly at Du Yan with a flash in her eyes. Not happy at all. "Hello, Secretary-General Chu." Seeing the young woman walk into the room, Secretary Deng immediately stood up with a smile. "Secretary Deng, does Secretary Cui have time?" the young woman asked. "Sorry Secretary Chu, Secretary Cui is talking to Secretary Li in Pingling," Secretary Deng said slightly apologetically, "otherwise, if you have other things to do, go ahead and I'll call you when Secretary Cui is free." ?" "Is that so" The young woman frowned out of habit, and her fair and smooth forehead twisted slightly because of this movement. Du Yan, who was standing outside the door, could clearly see Secretary Deng looking at her like this. He seemed to be slightly stunned. "Then don't bother Secretary Deng. I'll go do other things first and check back later." The young woman nodded and turned around and walked out of the office. However, after she came to the corridor, she glanced at Du who was looking over again. After saying that, his beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly again, and then he turned and walked towards the far end of the corridor. Secretary Deng also seemed to notice the slightly unhappy look in Secretary Chu's eyes when he looked at Du Yan. For a moment, his look at Du Yan became less friendly. Li Peizheng walked out of Cui Jianbin's office after staying in Cui Jianbin's office for about half an hour. There was nothing special about his face. However, after walking far away, he stood at an intersection in the corridor. Li Peizheng stopped and thought for a moment. . Du Yan waited silently. Although he didn't know what Cui Jianbin and Li Peizheng talked about, the conversation didn't seem very satisfactory. "Xiao Du, I have something else to do. You and Lao Huang go to dinner first and don't wait for me at noon." Li Peizheng thought for a while and then said, "I will have a meeting directly at the municipal committee in the afternoon. You can rest in the guest house. Come pick me up after the meeting." I'll be fine." "Okay, Secretary Li." Du Yan didn't say much. He knew that he shouldn't talk casually at this time. Matters related to the municipal party committee were not something he could touch. But Du Yan also thought that Li Peizheng should visit Qu Xiangshan, the full-time deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, because Qu Xiangshan is undoubtedly Li Peizheng's biggest backer in Taihua City. Du Yan walked out of the Municipal Party Committee Building, stood on the wide steps of the Municipal Party Committee Building, and looked back at the gray building. For a moment, there seemed to be an indelible shadow hanging over his heart. But just when he was amused that he seemed a little sentimental, a slightly familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "What a coincidence, Du Mi." Du Yan looked back in surprise, but saw that he was with a few people. Song Jiayi walked up the steps. A month ago, after wandering around Pingling as if he had nothing to do, Song Jiayi left Pingling. The day before leaving, Song Jiayi entertained guests at Liyuju and invited Du Yan, Liu Laofei and Wang Lianyi. But on the day of departure, Song Jiayi had dinner with Du Yan alone again. Speaking of which, Du Yan had a good impression of Song Jiayi. Although he guessed that this young businessman had an extraordinary background, and also vaguely guessed the reason why he came to Pingling, Du Yan was quite interested in Song Jiayi from several contacts. During the chat, Du Yan gradually discovered that Song Jiayi was not one of those aristocratic children who had made big business simply relying on his family background and connections. On the contrary, although he did not talk to Du Yan in depth, he could feel that Song Jiayi obviously had a rather shrewd mind. In other words, it is a consciousness that is very advanced compared to this era. "Mr. Song, I didn't expect to meet you here," Du Yan smiled and walked over to shake hands with Song Jiayi. When he saw Miss Ou accompanying him, Du Yan also nodded and smiled, "Hello, Miss Ou." "Du Mi, this is Stopping in front of the Municipal Party Committee Building, you really look like a leader." Miss Ou.?? smiled and joked, and it was obvious that she was quite fond of Du Yan because of his previous behavior. "Miss Ou, you don't mean to be so hurtful." Du Yan chuckled. He had already noticed that the middle-aged man standing with Song Jiayi looked quite familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he immediately recognized that this person was the one who was on the TV. You Qinglin, secretary of the Taihua Municipal and Legal Affairs Committee and member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, appeared on the Internet. For a period of time, the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission was renamed the Central Political and Legal Leading Group. During that period, the status of the political and legal departments in both the central and local governments was weakened a lot. It was even mentioned in some local standing committee meetings. , the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee is ranked only in front of the Propaganda, United Front and Secretaries-General at all levels. However, with the turmoil in the last year of the 1980s, the political and legal departments once again received attention. In March this year, the central government decided to restore the name of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, and local political and legal agencies also regained attention. At the same time, the status of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee also became more important. stand up. Therefore, when Miss Ou teased him, she kept her expression straight and showed that even though the relationship between Song Jiayi and Miss Ou was not very close, she was neither humble nor overbearing. Sure enough, Du Yan's attitude caught You Qinglin's attention, and he looked at Song Jiayi with questioning eyes. "Oh, let me introduce you," Song Jiayi casually patted Du Yan on the shoulder and said to You Qinglin, "This is Du Yan, the secretary of the Pingling County Party Committee Secretary. No introduction is needed for this one. Du Secretary should know him." "Secretary You. Hello, I am Du Yan, Secretary Li of the Pingling County Party Committee." Du Yan bowed slightly and stretched out his hands. You Qinglin looked at Du Yan in surprise. Although he didn't know what the relationship between Song Jiayi and this young man was, he still smiled and shook hands and said a few words of encouragement. Although they just said hello and said a few words casually, when Song Jiayi and You Qinglin left, Du Yan could feel that the eyes of the people passing by him had changed slightly. According to the arrangement, the meeting was held in the afternoon, and Du Yan had nothing to do during this period, so he said hello to the driver Lao Huang and walked to the local Xinhua Bookstore not far from Tuanjie Road. Speaking of the meeting Li Peizheng attended today and the subsequent meeting with You Qinglin, Du Yan couldn't help but think of the political climate currently brewing at home and abroad. From the recent changes in Eastern Europe and the central government's redefinition of the role of political and legal agencies in the domestic political landscape, The status made Du Yan couldn't help but recall the major events that were about to happen soon that would shock the world. And how to make full use of those upcoming events to lay the foundation for his fledgling career as soon as possible has become an urgent matter that Du Yan now faces. However, Du Yan also knew that although he had the advantage of foresight, how to apply it in details was still a big problem. Therefore, whether it was based on the grasp of the current situation or a deeper theoretical basis, he needed to work as soon as possible. Enrichment So during this period, he not only read newspapers and watched news from mainstream media on TV every day, but also kept collecting theoretical information. Unfortunately, Pingling was too remote, and there was not much information of sufficient weight to provide. It was rare for him to come to Taihua, so Du Yan couldn't let go of this opportunity. The bookstore is very quiet, because it is not a holiday, so there are not many people. Du Yan stood in front of the bookshelf with the "Political and Military" label and searched carefully. Because he knew the meeting time schedule, he was not in a hurry. He searched along the bookshelf bit by bit, took out the books he thought he needed and put them in one place, and then went back to look for them. It was a rare visit and he would naturally come back with a full load. Du Yan looked at the title on the back cover and moved his hands along the slowly packed books. Just when he was about to pull out a book called "Study on Early Capitalist Values ??and Modern Significance" from the bookshelf, There was a crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground from far away, and coincidentally, the footsteps stopped not far from him. As Du Yan took out the book, he instinctively looked up, but unexpectedly discovered that it was the beautiful woman whom Secretary Cui's secretary called Secretary-General Chu. Seeing Du Yan, Secretary-General Chu¡¯s beautiful and delicate eyebrows frowned fiercely. Then when she looked at the book in his hand, her expression changed first, and then she turned around and left with a "hum"! Du Yan looked at the back of Secretary-General Chu with confusion. He lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand, only to find that what he was holding was not the "Study on Early Capitalist Values ??and Modern Significance" that he wanted to hold at all. Someone knows a copy of "Body Art" that has been randomly shoved on the bookshelf. Looking at the sexy woman with exaggerated movements on the cover, Du Yan raised his head and opened his mouth to the back of Secretary-General Chu, but in the end he said nothing. Volume 1 "Volume 1: Pingling Nestling" Chapter 26 Chapter 26: Secretary-General Chu who holds a grudge Chu Yilan walked into her office with anger in her heart. When she thought of meeting that bastard in the bookstore, she felt unspeakably blocked. Women have always attracted people's attention. If they are a beautiful woman, then right and wrong will be indispensable. But Chu Yilan has never been concerned about this. Although there are some gossips, because of her background, she has never been harassed by anyone, and no one dares to have any bad thoughts towards her. But she never expected that the bastard she just met would be so bold. Not only did he dare to peek at her outside Secretary Cui's office, he even took out such a book after seeing her in the bookstore. Hint to yourself. Thinking of this, Chu Yilan felt angry in her heart. Due to family reasons, she has always been well protected. Not only did the ordinary cadres treat her respectfully, but some leaders in Taihua City were also very polite to her. But today, she was harassed by a bastard who didn't know where she came from. , which made Chu Yilan angrier and angrier. The phone on the table rang. Chu Yilan calmed down a little and picked up the phone. "Hello, who are you?" "Xiao Chu, I'm Liu Zhi, come to the living room on the first floor." A deep and powerful voice came from the receiver. "Okay Secretary-General, I'll be right over." Chu Yilan immediately cheered up and responded. After putting down the phone, Chu Yilan put away her clothes a little. She knew that Liu Zhi, the secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, was very particular about details, especially whether the dress of his staff should be considered as a person's attitude towards work, so time For a long time, the staff of the municipal party committee would pay careful attention to Liu Zhi before meeting him. As the deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, Chu Yilan is naturally aware of Liu Zhi's habit of pursuing perfection a bit too much. Going downstairs to the reception room on the first floor of the municipal party committee building, Chu Yilan opened the door and walked in. There were several people sitting in the living room. In addition to Secretary-General Liu Zhi, there was also a young man and woman. However, what Chu Yilan never expected was that the "bastard" he saw before was actually among them! Du Yan was a "strong young man" who was arrested by Song Jiayi when he returned to the county party committee building. Because he had somehow offended Secretary-General Chu in the bookstore, he had no intention of continuing to select books. After paying, Du Yan returned to the parking lot in front of the municipal party committee compound with the information books he had found in advance. While he was busy After putting the book in the trunk, he unexpectedly bumped into Song Jiayi again. But what surprised Du Yan was that the person walking with Song Jiayi this time was Liu Zhi, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee. Du Yan has heard that Liu Zhi and Political and Legal Affairs Committee Secretary You Qinglin are not compatible. You Qinglin and full-time deputy secretary Qu Xiangshan are very close, and Liu Zhi is undoubtedly a person of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Cui Jianbin. This made Du Yan even more curious about Song Jiayi's identity. Although he guessed that Song Jiayi might be a child of a certain family in the capital, he couldn't help but admire him when he saw that he was able to maneuver among the bosses of the Taihua Municipal Committee with ease. This kid is really not simple. Factions tend to become more superficial as you go deeper. Sometimes several factions in a place are not only clearly distinct at critical moments, but they even have no contact with each other unless it is for work. ???Looking at it this way, it seems that Mr. Song has frequent contacts in Taihua and is very popular. Seeing Du Yan, Song Jiayi waved from a distance. She didn't know whether he really fell in love with Du Yan or for some reason, but it seemed that he was very willing to make Du Yan a friend. "Secretary-General Liu, it's just right," Song Jiayi said to Liu Zhi with a smile after a brief introduction, "It won't bother you to find someone to accompany us later. Du Mi and I are acquaintances, so be it, let Du The secretary will walk around with us casually. When you are free in the afternoon, I will treat you to dinner. " "How is this possible? There is no way we can let Mr. Song just leave by himself. Then we are too Chinese and we are not good at entertaining guests. "Here," Liu Zhi seemed a little embarrassed, but then he said, "But since Mr. Song has met an acquaintance, let's follow Mr. Song's wishes." As he said that, he turned back and looked at Du Yan. From Song Jiayi's introduction, he had already seen him. Knowing that this young man is Li Peizheng's secretary, "Xiao Du, right? Mr. Song is our distinguished guest in Taihua, and you happen to know Mr. Song. How about this? Comrade Peizheng and I will let you use it first during the meeting. You must accompany Mr. Song well." But even so, Liu Zhi still invited Song Jiayi to his office, and then called Chu Yilan, deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee. Seeing Du Yan, Chu Yilan felt annoyed. Maybe it was preconceived. Although Du Yan just glanced at her and turned away, Chu Yilan still felt that this bastard seemed to be looking at her body with dirty eyes. . But she quickly adjusted her mood and moved towardsZhi walked over. "Secretary-General, are you looking for me?" "Haha, let me introduce you," Liu Zhi said with a smile, "This is Mr. Song Jiayi, the general manager of Feiteng Group. This time he is here to inspect our investment environment in Taihua. This is This is Chu Yilan, deputy secretary-general of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, and the youngest deputy director of our Taihua Municipal Party Committee and Government. " "Secretary-General Chu is really young and promising," Song Jiayi shook hands slightly with Chu Yilan, and then he gave Miss Ou a hand. After the introduction, when Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan, Song Jiayi smiled and said, "Secretary Du, let's introduce myself to Secretary Chu." Chu Yilan looked at Song Jiayi with some doubts, but Du Yan had already left. Come over: "Hello Secretary Chu, I am Du Yan, secretary of Secretary Li of the Pingling County Party Committee." "Are you from the Pingling County Party Committee?" Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan in surprise, because she thought it was Song Jiayi who brought him here. Although Chu Yilan was a little angry, she felt that there was nothing she could do about it. When she heard that he was the secretary of the Pingling County Party Committee, a strange look flashed in her eyes. "Yes, I came to the meeting with Secretary Li today. Since Mr. Song has been to Pingling before, I will accompany Mr. Song first." Du Yan explained while paying attention to Chu Yilan's expression. Although it could be seen from her face that Nothing happened, but Du Yan knew that this young and shameless deputy secretary-general seemed to have something in mind. After asking Chu Yilan to accompany Song Jiayi, Liu Zhi greeted Song Jiayi and left in a hurry. It won't take such a long time. Speaking of which, the afternoon meeting will be held soon, and he has to rush to make some preparations. If he can't watch it with his own eyes, Liu Zhi won't be able to relax. "Mr. Song, let me accompany you to visit our Taihua and get a general understanding of Taihua's situation," Chu Yilan said to Song Jiayi with a smile. However, although she looked smiling, she felt sorry for Mr. Song in her heart. But she didn't have a good impression. When she heard that Miss Ou next to her was Song Jiayi's assistant, she immediately included Song Jiayi in her heart among those who used money to support their mistresses. And seeing that Song Jiayi seemed to be very familiar with Du Yan, she already knew him. The two people in front of me were classified as the same thing. However, from Liu Zhi¡¯s attitude, Chu Yilan also knew that this person was not simple. Although she felt disgusted in her heart, she still seriously invited Song Jiayi and Miss Ou to visit Taihua. As for Du Yan, he has been ignored by Deputy Secretary-General Chu. The so-called visit is actually an opportunity to introduce Taihua¡¯s investment environment. After the reform and opening up, as the country shifted its focus from political struggles to economic construction, cities across the country began to focus on attracting investment. However, Taihua¡¯s internal investment environment Naturally, there are very few foreign businessmen visiting Lucheng. Even if there is, the scale is not large. Therefore, the Taihua Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government gradually changed their minds and began to pay attention to some domestic investments. Especially with the rapid economic development of coastal areas, the urban economies mainly in Shenzhen, Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta have developed rapidly, and the northern coastal cities seem not to be outdone. , for a time many large-scale enterprise groups emerged in coastal areas. Although these groups may only be in their infancy in the eyes of Hong Kong and Macao overseas, in the eyes of cities like Taihua, they are already a symbol of leading progress. So even though she was unhappy, Chu Yilan's attitude was still quite enthusiastic. But what made Chu Yilan secretly dissatisfied was that Song Jiayi insisted on dragging along Li Peizheng's annoying secretary because she and Du Yan were acquaintances. And sometimes, from time to time, I would chat and laugh with that kid who always seemed to be looking at me in a treacherous way. "Secretary-general Chu, it seems that Taihua still has a strong foundation," said the person who looked at the Taihua Industrial Museum not far from Tuanjie Road, although they were well-maintained, but still seemed to have entered their twilight years. Looking at the physical machine exhibits and the pictures and materials that recorded the ups and downs of Taihua City over the past few decades, Song Jiayi said with emotion, "The foundation of the old industrial zone, the third line, is not simple." "Mr. Song "We in Taihua are still very powerful," Chu Yilan took the opportunity to say, "The municipal party committee and government have paid great attention to tapping the potential of Taihua in the heavy industry in the past two years. Several of our factories also have strong technology accumulation and a large number of qualified personnel." We know that some investors may think that Taihua has no characteristics compared with other cities, but Mr. Song, you can understand from our museum that our Taihua is a place with real industrial heritage.¡± ¡°Yes. Yeah, foundation, real foundation. " Chu Yilan laughed when she heard Song Jiayi agreed with her words. Although she didn't need to be distracted by economic development in the municipal party committee, she still wanted Taihua because of her family. economy can get better. ¡°However, we in Taihua also have some constraints on development.¡± ?This voice made the smile on Chu Yilan's face pause slightly. She looked at Du Yan standing next to her with some disbelief, and she didn't react for a while to his actually opposing views. "Oh, Du Mi has a different opinion?" Song Jiayi asked with a smile. The reason why he approached Du Yan was not for any other reason. It was just because although the people in Taihua didn't know his background very well, they could generally understand it. He could guess a few points, so he could imagine that the attitude of the people here towards him would not be very true. On the contrary, although Du Yan seemed to know that his background was not small, he was always neither humble nor arrogant, which made Song Jiayi feel quite comfortable. As for other reasons, no one else could know. Now that Song Jiayi heard Du Yan suddenly objecting, and saw Chu Yilan who seemed not to like Du Yan from the beginning, Song Jiayi found it a bit interesting. "We are just out to relax now, not for a meeting. Du Mi, you can say whatever you want, and I will learn a lot." "Actually, it is very simple. The reason why the country built third-tier industries in Taihua was because of the international situation at that time, in order to strengthen national defense construction. and strategic reserve forces, so many important factories and enterprises were moved to the mainland." Du Yan and Song Jiayi were talking. Even if he didn't look at Chu Yilan, he could guess that Deputy Secretary-General Chu's face would not be much better at this time. . However, he knew that this was a rare contact with Song Jiayi, especially the opportunity for Song Jiayi to realize that he had guessed his intention. Although he had met several times before, he had never had this opportunity. "The reason why Taihua was selected as a key area for the third-line construction is actually very simple. It is just because Taihua's geographical location is deep into the mainland. This was an advantage at the time, but now it has become our disadvantage. Because at that time, it was precisely because of the inconvenient transportation. Even if there is a big war, or even if the war is not good for us at the beginning, we can still preserve important industrial power for the country." Du Yan paid careful attention to Song Jiayi, and his eyes moved slightly when he saw that he mentioned "inconvenient transportation." , Du Yan knew that he had completely guessed his intention and purpose. "But we have a complete industrial foundation and many years of intense technical strength. Doesn't Du Mi think this is our advantage?" Chu Yilan almost said these words through gritted teeth. She had secretly decided that after returning, Just tell Liu Zhi about this person's performance today, and then ask Li Peizheng to immediately replace this bastard who doesn't know the heights of the world. "Of course that's our advantage in Taihua, but if we can't even guarantee the infrastructure, we won't be able to use our advantage." Du Yan scratched his head, as if he was a little embarrassed to refute the leader, but his words were She didn't mean to stop, "But this disadvantage is also very likely to become our advantage." Although she tried her best to maintain the smile on her face, Chu Yilan knew that she could no longer bear it. She didn't know where Li Peizheng came from. Having such a treasured secretary exposed Taihua's inconvenience in transportation just now. In the blink of an eye, this big shortcoming turned into an advantage in his mouth. "Actually, although we in Taihua have inconvenient transportation, you can still take advantage of it." Du Yan no matter what Chu Yilan thinks, his purpose is just to attract Song Jiayi's attention. He knows that Song Jiayi should be able to understand what he is talking about. " It doesn¡¯t matter if there is no road now. Our location is good. Take Shuangduiji in Pingling as an example. People say that place is under the control of the Three No matter the Three Kingdoms. But Shuangdui is located between the three cities of Taihua, Qingfeng and Linchi. As long as we build a road The road can be connected in all directions, and it is not far from Shuangdui to the county seat and then to Taihua. With such a road, most of Hexi Province can be connected. " Chu Yilan had a smile on her face, but gritted her teeth in her heart. Looking at this bastard who knew nothing about heaven and earth, she certainly didn't know what kind of huge waves Du Yan's words caused in Song Jiayi's heart. But what made Chu Yilan really angry was when she held her breath and walked around with Song Jiayi back to the Municipal Party Committee Courtyard. They had just broken up and hadn't walked far yet. Song Jiayi smiled at Du Yan next to her and said, "Tonight our brother Let's find a good place to have a good time." Seeing Song Jiayi blinking at Du Yan with a "you know" expression, and then looking at that "bastard", Chu Yilan couldn't help but nod with understanding. He secretly made up his mind to let Li Peizheng transfer this bastard to the place he mentioned called Shuangduiji. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 27 Chapter 27 "Brilliant" Nightclub "Brilliant" is the name of a nightclub. Like many of its counterparts in the industry that were just emerging in China at that time, "Brilliant" inevitably seems to have certain imprints of this era, such as the slightly impetuous-looking neon lights and the golden The four-fold metal doors give off the aura of a nouveau riche at first glance. Hearing Song Jiayi say that it was during "Brilliant"'s treat, Du Yan couldn't help but be shocked. When standing in front of the gleaming golden doors of "Brilliant", Du Yan looked at the neon lights of various colors flashing on the opposite side and the slightly flashing figures inside that could be vaguely seen through the glass doors. But a youthful and pretty figure flashed through his mind that he could never forget. "She won't be here at this time" Du Yan let out a sigh. He knew that with his new life, many things that had happened in the past would inevitably change, and might even completely change. Different, but looking at the "brilliance" of feasting and feasting, he couldn't help but admit that even if he had to do it all over again, some things would inexplicably overlap in the trajectory of his life. Just like when people suddenly feel like the scene in front of them has happened before, there are always some things that cannot be avoided. It is a coincidence that according to the original arrangement, Li Peizheng had to attend a two-day meeting in Taihua and then returned to Pingling. This gave Du Yan time. After reporting to Li Peizheng in the evening, he came to the "Brilliant" nightclub. As for Li Peizheng's seemingly casual instruction to "be gentle to Mr. Song for me" before arriving, Du Yan realized that Li Peizheng was not as indifferent to Song Jiayi as it seemed on the surface. But perhaps because of what Du Yan reported about the political and legal committee secretary You Qinglin and Song Jiayi who seemed to be quite harmonious, Li Peizheng finally restrained himself from showing too much concern for Song Jiayi. After all, for Li Peizheng, although the relationship between You Qinglin and Deputy Secretary Qu Xiangshan was acceptable, they were not in the same circle. As the person who was single-handedly promoted by Qu Xiangshan, it was not easy for him to be with Song Jiayi. Such people are too close. "Brilliant" covers a large area. In fact, in Du Yan's memory, "Brilliant" is not only the earliest large-scale entertainment venue in Taihua, but also almost the longest one in Taihua. From a disco in the 1980s to a large-scale club integrating catering, entertainment and leisure, "Brilliant" has experienced ups and downs in these years, but it has always remained stable, even in the Despite the severe crackdown in the early 1990s, "Brilliant" was never damaged. The reason for this is that Taihua has a strong enough backer. When he went up to the third floor along the spiral staircase beside the open patio hall, Du Yan couldn't help but look at the people dancing in the huge ballroom connecting the first and second floors. At this time, discotheques had not yet emerged in China, and that kind of crazy The scene of music, crazy swing and crazy catharsis has not yet appeared. Looking at the little singer on the stage holding a microphone and imitating a certain Hong Kong and Taiwan star, singing a Cantonese song that no one can understand, Du Yan looked at the scene in front of him. Everything feels like a world away. After going up to the third floor, it suddenly became quiet and the music was much quieter. When he opened the door of a private room according to the room number told in advance, Du Yan saw Du Yan sitting on the sofa in the private room drinking a drink. Song Jiayi. Song Jiayi was wearing quite casual clothes and looked very casual. She did not look like someone who would not be ignored by the two prefecture-level Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee members during the day. Seeing Du Yan entering the room, Miss Ou stood up politely and greeted him. Different from Song Jiayi's rather casual dress, Miss Ou wore a black short-sleeved long skirt. Her legs under dark stockings looked straight and slender. A pair of three-and-a-half-inch high heels made her look as capable and dedicated as she did during the day. Compared with the image of OL beauties, it has a slightly different charm. Song Jiayi did not stand up, she just waved and patted the place beside her casually. "Du Mi, sit here." "Why, Mr. Song didn't see Brother Chai?" Du Yan asked casually. He was deeply impressed by the driver named Brother Chai. "Today we are the only two brothers who came out to play. I let Lao Chai rest. He has worked hard enough." Song Jiayi smiled. Du Yan smiled slightly. He knew that Song Jiayi was telling him to keep quiet, but he also knew that the reason for Song Jiayi's behavior was naturally the information he had deliberately revealed during the day. Sure enough, after chatting for a few words, Song Jiayi swayed the orange juice in the cup slightly and asked with a seemingly casual smile: "Secretary Du, you really taught Secretary Chu a lesson during the day. You spoke so generously. Under the words, I think that beautiful secretary-general will not be able to eat dinner when she goes back." "Song.Don't mention it, I still regret it now," Du Yan smiled, "What I said during the day just made it difficult for the leader. If Secretary Chu told our Secretary Li about my performance, I would probably end up as a little secretary. " "Actually, Du Mi is very proud," Miss Ou looked at Du Yan interestingly, "it's worth it even if I can get the attention of such a beautiful female boss. " "Miss Ou, please don't make fun of me," Du Yan smiled bitterly. Although he did successfully attract Song Jiayi's attention, Du Yan did feel that if Secretary General Chu was really serious, Quite a headache: "I am still worried about how to explain to Secretary Li. "You can't say that. What you said is also true. Taihua's advantages are the same as its disadvantages. Anyone with a discerning eye can see them clearly." Song Jiayi leaned comfortably on the low back of the sofa, disapprovingly. He said, "Take the Shuangji town you mentioned with no regard for anything. You know I have been to that place too. The transportation is inconvenient, the thinking is conservative, and the information is even more blocked. But there are many places like Taihua. If you want to go here, It takes some courage to start a career. " Listening to Song Jiayi's seemingly casual words, Du Yan's heart moved slightly. He knew that although Song Jiayi seemed to be dissatisfied with Taihua's current situation, if he guessed correctly, he was here for Taihua at this time. , the so-called advance amount is prepared for people like him. "Mr. Song, I don't agree with your point of view. I don't know what Taihua is about, but if you invest in our Pingling, the returns will be absolute. It can exceed your expectations. " "Isn't it an unexpected loss? Song Jiayi joked, "Du Mi, I'm not kidding, seeing how dedicated you are, as the secretary of the county party committee, you are really unqualified." " Speaking of this, Song Jiayi continued as if inadvertently: "For example, you are so optimistic about that double pile, but we all know that that place is not easy to deal with. " "It's not that it's hard to do, it's just that there is no chance. If we really have the chance, not to mention Shuangdui, Daqing Township and Liuliji, even Pingling as a whole may not have a good path. " Du Yan picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of the sour orange juice in it. At the same time, he glanced at Song Jiayi strangely. He didn't believe that Song Jiayi was the kind of person who was willing to live the life of an ascetic, but from his perspective, "Brilliant" Judging from the fact that he doesn't drink, Du Yan believes that the person in front of him is very special. "Shuangdui is a small place," Du Yan continued. He knew whether Li Peizheng could seize the opportunity may be his meeting with Song Jiayi today. "But Shuangdui's geographical location is very unique. You are standing at the crossroads of Shuangdui." , just like standing between Taihua Qingfeng and Linchi, except there is no road leading there. " Du Yan shook his head helplessly as he spoke. If Pingling is remote, it is because of its geographical location as a potential transportation hub, then Shuangdui is the middle point of this transportation hub. " Unfortunately, in the early 1990s, No one has noticed this huge intangible advantage, or for those who have never heard of the inter-provincial economic bridge, which will determine the general direction of the entire inland economy in the future, they cannot imagine that there will be a way to completely connect these The traffic blind spots that were ignored earlier are the grand plans to completely connect several neighboring provinces and even the entire inland area. How can we prepare for all this before the cross-provincial economic bridge is known? , is the key to determining Li Peizheng's and Du Yan's future career. "Do you think Pingling will have such an opportunity? "Song Jiayi looked at Du Yan. He thought the little secretary in front of him was a bit funny. Who could have imagined that a small department-level cadre in an inconspicuous inland city would actually care about such a high-level official even far away in the capital. It¡¯s a big plan that not many people are familiar with. Of course, Du Yan doesn¡¯t know what Song Jiayi is thinking, and he doesn¡¯t know that in Song Jiayi¡¯s mind, he has already given him a new rank as a junior cadre who has just been promoted to deputy department. ¡°Mr. Song, even if Without the opportunity I mentioned, Pingling also needs roads." Du Yan knew not to speak too clearly. It is better to pretend to be confused about some things. "You have been to Shuangdui, but maybe you have not been to Daqing Township and Liuliji. There is a green fruit wine in Daqing Township that is not inferior to other famous wines. The local clay clay in Liuliji is famous in Taihua. It is enough to build roads in these places, let the green fruit wine go out, and turn the clay into money. Let's change the current situation. Song Jiayi looked at Du Yan with interest. Naturally, he was not interested in the green fruit wine and clay that Du Yan said. He just wanted to know how many of the seemingly far-fetched assumptions Du Yan mentioned before could be used for him. Even if you tell yourself in your heart.The former department-level cadre might really just happen to be talking nonsense, but Song Jiayi didn't want to let go of an opportunity that might come from such a coincidence, especially if it could bring him unimaginable benefits. Will easily give up any small possibility. ¡°And in Song Jiayi¡¯s view, the department-level cadre in front of him might not be that simple. "Besides, we do have advantages in Pingling," Du Yan leaned on the sofa and looked at the orange juice in the cup on the table. "We have a very solid military technology foundation, and most of the heavyweight factories are built in Pingling and Taizhou." Along the way, not to mention the equipment, the skills of the old workers are priceless to those who really want to be unemployed. " At this point, Du Yan suddenly felt a little depressed, and he glanced at Song Jiayi opposite. , knowing that the red second generation with a profound background in front of him may never understand some things. Of course, they also don¡¯t understand what kind of fate they are about to face for many workers in Taihua¡¯s large heavy industry enterprises. "Du Mi, just kidding, hypothetically," Song Jiayi smiled and looked at Du Yan, "I mean hypothetically, as you said, there is a chance to connect Taihua Qingfeng and Linchi. Then Will Pingling have a chance to develop? " Hearing Song Jiayi's words, a faint smile appeared on Du Yan's face, but in Song Jiayi's view, this smile was more dismissive than disapproval of this hypothesis. . "Mr. Song, I know you're in the big business, and I probably don't like the petty quarrels in our county." Du Yan didn't directly answer Song Jiayi's words at first. He stretched out a finger to dip into the orange juice in the cup. , randomly drew a few lines on the glass tabletop. "One day, it should be said that the entire Taihua will develop, even the development of Qingfeng and Linchi." In addition to starting to chat, and then sitting there all the time Miss Ou, who was just drinking silently next to her, stopped and looked at Du Yan in surprise. Even though Du Yan had said so much before, it sounded to her like a local cadre's preference for his hometown. She even felt that Du Yan is too optimistic in some places, so much so that he seems to sing too high-key. But when she heard what he said later, Miss Ou couldn't help but be a little surprised. This was certainly because when Du Yan said these words, she was surprised by Du Yan's affirmative tone, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. More importantly, she It was clear that Du Yan's words, which seemed like random guessing, were vaguely consistent with some of the rumors she had heard. And these rumors are not easily heard in remote cities like Taihua, even in Hexi Province. Song Jiayi looked at the seemingly unrelated lines that Du Yan drew on the table with interest. Although his face was always smiling, in fact he couldn't calm down in his heart. If you look carefully, you will know that those lines are exactly the current traffic situation between Taihua and the two neighboring cities. It is precisely because of blind construction without long-term plans for many years. Although various cities have invested a lot, and the central government has also invested a lot However, the uneven level of road traffic in the inland has increasingly become a factor restricting the economic development of the inland. Especially with the vigorous development of coastal areas, the gap with the inland is also becoming wider and wider. big. These may not mean much to an ordinary businessman, but Song Jiayi, who has a profound background, knows very well what kind of huge hidden dangers this abnormal development will cause to the country. Because of this, Song Jiayi is keenly aware of the huge opportunities that may be contained in this. And as Du Yan said, even if there is no such opportunity, Taihua's heavy industrial technology foundation accumulated over the years has already entered Song Jiayi's sight. . However, Du Yan's words made Song Jiayi unexpectedly see a broader vision that even he had not realized before. "Du Mi, you are so humble that you don't dare to worry about the country," Song Jiayi stood next to Du Yan, "But now it seems that you are right to not forget about the country. If you want to say that you are in a humble position, then you really have to do it." It's so annoying to say this to you. It won't happen in two years." "Thank you for your good advice, Mr. Song." Du Yan laughed. He knew that it was time to stop. He had already said what he had to say. He even said some things that shouldn't be said. The rest depends on whether Song Jiayi really has enough weight. However, Du Yan clearly remembers that in his previous life, Linshi Linchi was due to the emergence of a far-sighted county party committee secretary. When many people were still confused about new things like cross-provincial economic bridges, he vigorously promoted road reconstruction and actively developed external transportation connections during his tenure. Only then was he lucky enough to become the cross-provincial economic bridge plan. beneficiaries. On the contrary, Pingling, which is affiliated with Taihua and is connected to that county, was disbanded due to internal disagreements and conflicts within the leadership team at that time.As a result, Li Peizheng's idea of ??revitalizing Pingling could not be implemented smoothly, and an excellent opportunity was ultimately lost. And this was not the only thing that really affected Li Peizheng's career. As the success of the county party secretary in the neighboring county had a huge impact on the entire national strategy, it also had a huge impact on the political situation of the entire Hexi Province, which ultimately led to changes in the entire Hexi pattern. Li Peizheng¡¯s path forward came to an abrupt end in such a change. Now that I think about it, Xiao He really succeeds and loses Xiao He. Du Yan, who was thinking wildly for a while, sighed slightly. It wasn't until he saw Miss Ou getting up and walking out of the room that he remembered that Song Jiayi suggested having a drink because he was in a good mood, and Miss Ou naturally went out to give orders. "Du Mi, are you interested in doing something?" Song Jiayi suddenly asked with a smile, "You are a regular student now, right? If you move to another place, maybe you can adjust your level." Du Yan could only smile bitterly at Song Jiayi's suggestion and said Thinking that he had only been studying for this minor subject for a month, he could only express his gratitude to Song Jiayi for his "kindness". "But Du Mi, do you think Taihua, as a heavy industrial city, really plays such a big role?" Song Jiayi continued to ask with interest. Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still wanted to see the small cadres in this place. How far can we see things? "Of course not. It can only be said that Taihua's industrial technology advantage is only one of them," Du Yan sighed inwardly. He also knew that Song Jiayi was obviously testing him, but for future plans, even if he couldn't reveal all his ideas , we must also try our best to make Song Jiayi, or simply those behind him, aware of his abilities. "Taihua's future status will be a transit station" Du Yan said casually, but his words were suddenly uploaded from the corridor. A burst of noise interrupted them. Listening to the vaguely familiar voice, Du Yan and Song Jiayi first looked at each other, then immediately stood up and walked out of the box one after another. From a distance, you can see a few people standing in the distance of the slightly dim corridor. One of them is Miss Ou who just went out. Several waiters and waitresses were trying to persuade a staggering fat man, but the fat man who looked like he had obviously drunk too much was talking nonsense while rushing forward reluctantly. "Isn't he just a commodity for sale? Why are you pretending to be a big talk? I want to play with you. I think I think highly of you!" The fat man cursed with a drunken mouth, "You dare to hit me, and you don't pry. Who am I? Ask where this is!" Seeing Song Jiayi, Miss Ou ran up a few steps and threw herself into his arms, crying softly. Song Jiayi¡¯s face turned blue and her eyes were fixed on the fat man! But what no one expected was that Du Yan, who was looking at the fat man yelling at this scene, without saying a word, suddenly grabbed a wine bottle next to him and hit him hard on the head! Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Turning your hands to make clouds cover your hands with rain (Part 1) With a "pop!" sound, the beer bottle was smashed open on the fat man's bulging head. For a moment, the beer mixed with red blood and white foam flowed down the fat man's head! No one expected that this would happen suddenly. The fat man still raised his hands arrogantly, and then his fat body collapsed to the ground as if a wall had collapsed. Although fights in the dance hall have become a common occurrence, because the incident was so sudden, several waitresses nearby couldn't help but scream. Song Jiayi, who also didn't expect that Du Yan would hit her as soon as he said it, couldn't help but be startled, but seeing Miss Huailiao's aggrieved look, anger suddenly welled up from the bottom of her heart. Looking at the fat man lying paralyzed, Song Jiayi suddenly turned around, grabbed a beer bottle from the counter next to him, and smashed it on the fat man's head! This time, the fat man fell to the ground without even a groan. He threw away the smashed wine bottle in his hand. Song Jiayi kicked the unconscious fat man hard, then held Miss Ou in his arms and gestured to Du Yan. head. "Du Mi, we are friends enough." Song Jiayi only said this. Although he didn¡¯t know the details of ¡°Brilliant¡±, Song Jiayi naturally knew that it would be impossible to open such a nightclub without a background, especially in a city like Taihua, where only the local people with good hands and eyes could support such a scene. So Song Jiayi was very grateful for Du Yan's actions after seeing Miss Ou being bullied. Regardless of whether Du Yan did this to deliberately make friends with him, as a person in the officialdom, Song Jiayi was very grateful if he could do this. satisfy. A sound of footsteps came from downstairs. Du Yan turned around and glanced at a male waiter at the counter. In fact, he had noticed that the man was secretly talking on the phone, but Du Yan ignored him. In fact, just before he grabbed the wine bottle, Du Yan had already decided to make things worse. As for why he did this, although Du Yan told himself that he was taking the opportunity to drag Song Jiayi into Taihua's circle of right and wrong, deep down in his heart, Du Yan knew that he did this just because this place was "brilliant"! "Where are you going?!" A strong man with short hair and several big men blocked the three people on the stairs. "Are you from this nightclub?" Song Jiayi asked slowly. "I am the brilliant security manager. You can't leave casually after beating someone," the man said while looking up upstairs. He was slightly relieved when he saw several people helping the fat man to sit up slowly, and then He sneered at Song Jiayi, "You are from out of town, right? Do you know who you are beating?" Song Jiayi looked at the man in front of him calmly, as if he didn't hear what he was saying at all: "No matter who you are beating, you are here It's too chaotic. Do you want to keep us here? " "I'm sorry, you made trouble in our nightclub and hit someone. You have to solve the problem. And I'm not afraid to tell you that you hit someone. Friend of our boss." When he said this, a look of ruthlessness appeared on the strong man's face. "If you can't find a way to solve this problem today, don't even think about leaving if you keep losing your arms and legs!" Her body stiffened for a moment, and she looked up at Song Jiayi worriedly. She didn't expect that she would cause such a thing, and she was even more worried that Song Jiayi wouldn't be able to bear it anymore. "It seems that we have entered a black shop. In this case, let's see how you play." Song Jiayi smiled at Du Yan beside him without taking it seriously. Although he didn't seem to be angry at the beginning, once he did, he In that way, he immediately changed from a successful businessman to a typical playboy, or this is his true face. "Well, let's not affect others. Follow me." Although the strong man said harsh words, he was not very reckless. He remembered that his boss told him more than once not to always do things the way he did on the street. , now that everyone has become a decent businessman, you still have to pay attention to the image. "We can be the middlemen in today's matter, but it depends on how Boss Zhao clears the way for you. If you can accept it, you will be lucky." , Don¡¯t blame us for being rude if you can¡¯t take it.¡± Although he is considered a serious businessman, as soon as he said the words, a charlatanic air came out involuntarily. The three people were held hostage by a group of security guards to the second floor, and walked along the corridor surrounding the edge of the ballroom below to the security room on the second floor. "Du Mi, it seems that I have caused trouble for you, I'm really sorry," Song Jiayi said to Du Yan next to him nonchalantly while tapping the railing in the corridor and looking at the feasting ballroom below. It feels as relaxed as going to a party and chatting with friends. "Let's get together again in a few days when we find an opportunity. I really don't understand what you said. I'll ask you for advice then."bsp;"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and leave!" A security guard behind pushed Song Jiayi hard, but the strange thing was that Song Jiayi was not angry, he just looked back at the security guard and smiled. When several people entered an office, they saw that the fat man who had been knocked down by two wine bottles was already sitting on the sofa in the office. It seemed that there must be another passage leading to this room. A young woman was wiping his wound with an alcohol cotton ball. There was a first aid kit on the table next to her. There were all kinds of conflicts in the nightclub, so the first aid kit was well prepared. "Damn it, you guys dare to hit me, I will beat you to death today!" Seeing the three people coming in, the fat man angrily pushed away the woman who was treating his wounds and wanted to stand up, but because of the two wine bottles before The smash was so hard that I bent down halfway and fell back on the sofa. "If you guys don't beat me to death today, I will write the character Zhao upside down!" "Don't worry, Boss Zhao, I won't spare them. You are in our glory." We were also beaten. If our boss Zeng finds out, he will skin us." As the security manager said this, he walked around the table, bent down and took out a rubber baton from the drawer and slapped it on the table. "You guys tell yourselves, what should I do?" Song Jiayi noticed that Du Yan's expression was a little strange, and thought he was calming down after the impulse, because he had never seen such a situation before and was a little scared. This made him even the last thing he did before All doubts faded away. Song Jiayi had previously thought about whether Du Yan had any motive for doing this. Although he was indeed very interested in Taihua, he never thought about getting involved in Taihua's disputes. Especially after generally understanding some of Taihua¡¯s inside stories, Song Jiayi believed that it was a wise decision to leave Taihua with the decision that he was just here to do business and no one else was involved. So Song Jiayi did take a liking to Du Yan's actions, but now in his opinion, Du Yan's behavior could only be interpreted as a moment of anger and impulsiveness, and it didn't seem like he had any purpose. But Song Jiayi didn't know that Du Yan was thinking about something completely different that didn't happen now, but was unforgettable for Du Yan! "It's right here. Han Bing did that kind of thing in this room" Du Yan just had this thought in his mind at this time. He didn't even hear the words of the security manager opposite him until his back was touched. The man came to his senses only after a sharp push. "Don't pretend to be a grandson. Now you know you are scared. Where did the energy go? The security manager poked Du Yan's chest with the baton in his hand. "I said it is public or private, but I can tell you that you are ready no matter whether it is public or private. Pay for it. " "Lao Liu, don't mess with them. First, break the legs of these two boys. No matter how much money you pay today, I will let them go out! " Boss Zhao, who had already bandaged his head, stood up and walked a few steps forward and snatched the baton from the security manager's hand. As Miss Ou screamed in horror, the baton hit Song Jiayi's left leg hard. Outside! A muffled groan came from Song Jiayi's mouth, and he immediately knelt down on one leg in confusion, "I have to break the two of you today!" "Boss Zhao yelled as he turned around and grabbed an iron pipe seat next to him. Just when he raised the seat to smash it down without thinking, with a loud "crash", the closed door was The person was kicked away from the outside! Before the security guards could react, a figure rushed into the office! Du Yan only had time to look back, and the security guard behind him didn't even have time to turn around. The security guard was grabbed by the visitor. In the terrifying sound of broken bones, the security guard had already been grabbed by the visitor and his arm was twisted out of shape. He swung it hard and hit Boss Zhao hard. The two people screamed in pain and rolled to the ground at the same time! Only then did Du Yan realize that this person was the driver Chai Ge who had been following Song Jiayi. When a security guard yelled and grabbed various guys around him and rushed towards them, Brother Chai had already rushed towards them. At some point, a pair of shiny things appeared on Brother Chai¡¯s clenched fists. Just when the word "American finger glove" flashed through Du Yan's mind, a burst of painful screams could be heard in the room. The security manager was the last to fall, and a steel pipe in his hand hit Chai. When Brother Chai hit him, he was surprised to find that Brother Chai only used his arm to block his powerful attack. At the same time, with Brother Chai's fierce punch, the bridge of the security manager's nose had been damaged. "Mr. Song, are you okay?" Brother Chai and Miss Ou helped Song Jiayi up and asked anxiously, "Let's go to the hospital now." ?"It's okay to leap forward, this fat guy has no strength at all." Song Jiayi rubbed her thigh and smiled, "You really think I've been wasted all these years, don't forget that I was also a soldier." "Then let's do it now. Just leave here first," Brother Chai looked at the groaning security guards lying on the ground. Although he looked burly and like a rough man, he was not reckless. He immediately thought that Song Jiayi's identity seemed inappropriate. "I'm going to drive." "Wait for Yuejin," Song Jiayi called to Chai Yuejin. He slowly squatted down and pushed the security guard who was leaning against the desk, covering his bloody nose and couldn't stop groaning. Manager: "What did you say your boss's last name was?" "The last name is Zeng!" The security manager's voice was so painful that his voice was out of tune. Although he looked at Song Jiayi as if he was about to eat him, when he saw Chai Yuejin next to him, his hand was still bleeding. He couldn't help but trembled with fright when he saw the American finger gloves, but he was also tough. "Let me tell you, we were always in Taihua, black and white, and there were many people. Unless you run away immediately, otherwise as long as you stay in Taihua for one day, you just need to let me know." If Mr. Zeng finds you, you will not have a good life." Song Jiayi looked at the security manager and nodded slightly. He stood up and picked up the phone from his desk. After dialing the number, he whispered a few words and hung up the phone. Place it in front of the security manager. "The surname is Zeng. There are people on Black and White Road. Okay, very good," Song Jiayi said while nodding. "Call your boss and tell him that I smashed up his nightclub. Don't forget that my name is Song Jiayi." After finishing, Song Jiayi turned to Du Yan and said, "Brother, if it's not convenient for you to come forward later, I'll ask Yue Jin to see you off first." Du Yan didn't say much. He vaguely heard a few words from the phone call just now and knew that he was answering the phone. With the drama that may unfold down the road, it would really be inconvenient for me to continue to stay. "No need to bother, and no need to ask Brother Chai to see me off. He can't leave you at this time." After Du Yan said this, he said hello to Miss Ou, and after asking the frightened woman, he followed the other door. After exiting the conspicuous door, he immediately walked along the corridor and exited the nightclub through the back door. However, Du Yan did not go far. After walking back to the front door, he stood quietly on the sidewalk across the street from the Brilliant Nightclub and waited. After a while, a unique roar of trucks came from the distant street, and accompanied by several harsh brake sounds, two dark green military vehicles suddenly broke into the parking lot in front of "Brilliant". As an officer jumped out of the cab and shouted, a group of soldiers jumping out of the two trucks immediately rushed into the four glittering golden doors of the Brilliant Nightclub! Du Yan did not continue to look. He put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly along the road. There were shouts, collisions, and the sound of broken things coming from the other side of the road, which seemed to have nothing to do with him. It wasn¡¯t until he was very far away that Du Yan stopped and slowly turned around to look at the neon sign of ¡°Brilliant¡± that was still bright and dazzling in the night. "This is for you, Han Bing," Du Yan said softly. Although he knew that the hatred for "Brilliant" caused by Han Bing would never disappear so easily, Du Yan still didn't feel good even though he saw "Brilliant" being smashed with his own eyes. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because that thing didn¡¯t happen now, Du Yan told himself in his heart. What is Han Bing doing now? Du Yan had the urge to take a look when he thought about it, but he didn't do it in the end. If there was anything Du Yan could not do with Su Qian in his previous life, it was his relationship with Han Bing. In fact, Du Yan never knew how he felt about Han Bing, but Du Yan clearly remembered that when the news came that Han Bing was fighting for his fate in such a fierce way in "Brilliant", Du Yan Yan Zeng felt that his heart stopped beating at that moment. The heart-rending pain even made him forget that his wife was beside him and burst into tears. Does Su Qian know what happened between herself and Han Bing? She should know, but Su Qian never said anything. Suddenly, the huge colorful neon signboard "Brilliant" in the distance suddenly turned dark. Du Yan knew that someone inside must have turned off the power switch. Du Yan shook his head slightly. Although it was his plan to involve Song Jiayi in Taihua's circle of right and wrong, he did not expect that Mr. Song's reaction would be so intense. ??????????????????????????????? This idea only flashed in Du Yan's mind for a moment before being rejected. Although Song Jiayi obviously liked Miss Ou very much, Du Yan didn't believe that he would go so far. Now that I think about it, if Song Jiayi did this, he was also thinking of using this excuse to do something in Taihua? Du Yan thought as he moved forward along the sidewalk.But just as he passed a car parked on the roadside, Du Yan, who had walked a few steps, stopped. He turned around and looked at the car with the famous license plate number "Tai 24" in Taihua City under the street lights. "Sixty-eight" Santana then turned and walked towards the Taihua Municipal Party Committee Guest House. Du Yan knew that the person who had been sitting in the car and watching the Huihuang being smashed from a distance was probably the owner of the "Huihui" nightclub, Zeng Zhenping, who was known to be both black and white in Taihua. However, the current Zeng Zhenping should not have reached the point where he almost dominated the Taihua City with one hand. At this time, in the eyes of many people, although he is already a rich man with rich family assets, he has not really become one of the most popular people. A person recognized by people. However, Du Yan knew that if he remembered correctly, Zeng Zhenping should still be on the fast track of his career at this time, especially with several things that were about to happen in the near future, Zeng Zhenping would eventually become a deputy to the People's Congress of Taihua City and A socialite, a popular figure in both black and white. But Du Yan had no intention of letting the miracle created by Zeng Zhenping happen again. In Du Yan's heart, if Feng Chao was the stone that had to be kicked away on his way forward, then Zeng Zhenping was just a bigger stone. However, after returning to the guest house and seeing Li Peizheng, who was still not resting but seemed to be waiting for him, and seeing the strange look in Li Peizheng's eyes at him, Du Yan guessed that what had just happened had reached the municipal party committee guest house. "Have you met Song Jiayi?" Li Peizheng asked seemingly casually. Seeing Du Yan nodding silently, Li Peizheng slowly sat down and said, "Do you know who the owner of Huihuang Nightclub is?" "I've heard of it. His surname seems to be Zeng. The reputation of Brilliance is not small, and everyone in Pingling has heard about it." Du Yan didn't want to be fooled. At this time, he had to find a way to make Li Peizheng consistent with his plan. "This Zeng Zhenping is nothing," Li Peizheng said lightly, "but he has a sister who is the deputy director of the Municipal Government's Administration Bureau." Du Yan inadvertently raised the corner of his mouth. Of course he knew who Zeng Zhenping relied on. "Did Song Jiayi tell you who he was?" Li Peizheng asked and smiled again, "He didn't tell you. He is the eldest grandson of the Song family in the capital." Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Turning your hands to make clouds and turning your hands to make rain (Part 2) Although he had already guessed Song Jiayi's identity, Du Yan was still slightly stunned after hearing the exact news from Li Peizheng. ¡°That¡¯s because the Song family mentioned by Li Peizheng is really a behemoth! Unlike many families of old revolutionaries who had a prominent status in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Song family was not very prominent in the early days. Even in the eyes of some top families, the Song family was just a small player in the red circle. However, with the rise of the middle-aged movement that gradually began in the late 1950s, the famous old revolutionaries and their families experienced ups and downs in the various movements that emerged at that time. Some of them were even more concerned about the situation at that time. Errors in judgment, and being in the wrong team due to various considerations. ??For example, some of them were all-powerful in the 1960s and 1970s, and many of them followed the leaders to sweep the country. However, as the turmoil ended, they either disappeared and disappeared, or simply went to jail. It was under such a situation that the then inconspicuous old man of the Song family kept closely following a certain big shot who was at a low point in his political life at that time and was even directly designated as the largest capitalist roader. Whether it was reverence or stubbornness, when many people left that person one after another, the old man of the Song family not only did not leave his old leader, he even publicly expressed his support for the leader on some occasions. That era was not only incredible, but even shocking. But it was because of such experiences and sharing weal and woe that when the leader finally regained his political life after several years of hardships, the Song family finally got the rewards they deserved. Perhaps it is for this reason that the children of the Song family do not appear to be high-profile in the domestic political arena. At least in Du Yan's memory, even in the era when the Internet is prevalent and information is relatively transparent many years later, if one does not pay close attention to domestic politics, It is very clear that ordinary people's impression of the Song family often only thinks that the Song family is a family that has made great achievements in the economic field. But Du Yan definitely didn't think that the Song family was that simple. In addition to feeling the huge ambitions of the Song family in the future development related to national construction when drinking with Song Jiayi today, Du Yan could also vaguely sense that the Song family had The family seems to have some influence that cannot be ignored on the country's future development direction. Du Yan himself couldn't explain why he had such a strange feeling. Of course, he would not be bored to believe that the whole world was actually under the control of certain financial families. After thinking about the fact that many years later, although the Song family seemed to be low-key, they seemed to have their family imprint and shadow in every aspect, Du Yan had to admit that the Song family was definitely a huge behemoth. The news that "Brilliant" was smashed spread throughout Taihua City the next day. Although "Brilliant" was not as good as it was in the 1990s, it was the second Taihua city known as the "Small Organization Department". Municipal Party Committee, but for many people, regardless of whether they knew who the backer behind Zeng Zhenping was, the smashing of Glory still caused a huge shock to the Taihua people. This can be seen from the fact that the meeting that Li Peizheng was supposed to attend in the morning as planned the next day was postponed to the afternoon for no reason. It wasn¡¯t until Du Yan, who was drowsy in the car, was gently pushed awake by Lao Huang next to him that Li Peizheng stepped out under the golden sunset that had fallen on the steps of the Municipal Party Committee Building. "Secretary Li, should we stay one more night?" Du Yan asked Li Peizheng, who looked slightly tired. "No, hurry back. The summer is long, it's still too late to hurry back," Li Peizheng said. After getting into the car, he suddenly said to Du Yan, who had already sat in the passenger seat, "Xiao Du, sit in the back." Come, I have something to tell you. "The driver, Lao Huang, glanced at Du Yan next to him in surprise. Having driven for the leader for many years, he naturally knew that even if a secretary was trusted, the leader would not easily let the secretary sit with him. Later, because this is not only a matter of leadership prestige, but also involves a rule that cannot be broken easily by people around the leader. Du Yan was slightly stunned but opened the car door and moved to the back. He knew that Li Peizheng probably had something to say to him. Song Jiayi, who had smashed the "Brilliant", seemed to have suddenly disappeared. Not only did Du Yan not know where he had gone, but many people didn't even know who it was. Various rumors have been circulating in Taihua City throughout the day, but one thing is the same, that is, the person who smashed the glory not only has a profound background, but also has a deep relationship with the army. Because some people saw with their own eyes that Huihuang was smashed to pieces by two trucks of soldiers. For a time, various rumors spread not only in the market, but even in the municipal party committee compound. Listening to these rumors, Du Yan estimated that at this time, Song Jiayi might beI am enjoying myself in a certain local garrison. "At today's meeting, Mayor Ren raised some questions about the public security in Taihua," Li Peizheng said calmly, leaning on the backrest. "Regarding some recent social issues, Mayor Ren gave some instructions and believed that it is necessary to strengthen public security management in Taihua." Please sort out the things in this area. It will be useful at the municipal party committee meeting tomorrow." "Okay Secretary Li," after writing it down in his notebook, Du Yan raised his head and asked, "What instructions does Secretary Cui have in this regard? Explanation?" After glancing at Du Yan, Li Peizheng smiled secretly. He never mentioned Cui Jianbin, the secretary of the municipal party committee, which is naturally not normal. "Secretary Cui also agrees with the mayor's arrangement, but Secretary Cui is more focused on overall work." Li Peizheng said casually. The nib of the pen Du Yan placed on his notebook paused slightly. After the "Brilliant" incident came out, it was expected that Mayor Ren Shuqiang would be furious. Du Yan still remembers that it was Ren Shuqiang who succeeded Cui Jianbin, who was in poor health later, and became the Taihua Municipal Party Committee Secretary. Zeng Zhenping's sister Zeng Jing was After Ren Shu took office, he was promoted from the position of deputy director of the municipal government agency affairs bureau to assistant to the mayor, and within a year he was appointed deputy mayor. And the fact that Zeng Jing is Ren Shuqiang's mistress is just an open secret known to everyone in Taihua. However, from Li Peizheng's words, Du Yan could tell that Cui Jianbin was quite dissatisfied with Ren Shuqiang's behavior of overstepping his authority. This is mainly related to Cui Jianbin's physical condition. Although Cui Jianbin is not too old, his health is not very good. He had an operation a few years ago and rested for several months. This happened even in Pingling. What you hear. In this way, even a mayor who abides by his duties will inevitably have some ideas. Moreover, Ren Shuqiang is not a leader who is willing to fall behind others. Naturally, he has long wanted to succeed Cui Jianbin. But what really caught Du Yan¡¯s attention was that Ren Shuqiang had been working in Pingling for nearly half a year when he was the deputy mayor, and he was very close to the old secretary at that time. At that time, Guo Songlin, who had just been mentioned as deputy county magistrate, was also recommended to the old secretary by Ren Shuqiang. Of course Du Yan didn't know about these things before, but after more than a month of constant inquiry and research, Du Yan got to know a lot about people and things in Pingling and Taihua. It's okay. He also discussed the matter with Li Peizheng intentionally or unintentionally, which naturally made Li Peizheng look at him differently. "After we go back, we will sort out the relevant information. Pingling will also do something according to the instructions of Mayor Ren." Seeing the look in Du Yan's eyes, Li Peizheng knew that Du Yan should have understood the meaning of his words. Although he knew that Qu Xiangdong would naturally tell Ren Shuqiang's attitude today to the troublemaker, Young Master Song, if Du Yan could also reveal the news to Song Jiayi, Song Jiayi would naturally accept his favor to some extent, even if he blocked Qu Xiangdong. Because of Dong and others, he could not have too much contact with the eldest grandson of the Song family, but Li Peizheng naturally hoped for another direct path to Tianting. When he returned to the county, the sky had already darkened. After sending Li Peizheng to the guest house, Du Yan followed Lao Huang's ride back to the county government dormitory. Du Yan lived in a small apartment on the second floor of the county government dormitory. It was dark when you walked into the typical long corridor. At the end of the corridor was a sink and toilet. The partition walls between each room were not very tight because they were in disrepair. Some houses even have small holes in the walls. "At least Du Yan has listened to the couple next door having sex for many days because of those small holes. Whenever he heard the intermittent sound of sex in the middle of the night, Du Yan would inevitably feel aroused. Sometimes he even maliciously wondered whether the hole in the wall had been occupied by someone before. Lao Guo from the Political Research Office in this room dug it out. Think about it, Lao Guo and his wife have been separated in two places for a long time. Although it was already night, the weather was still very hot. When Du Yan returned to the dormitory, he immediately filled a basin of water. When he returned to the room, he took off his clothes and washed them in only his shorts. But before I finished washing, there was a knock on the door. Du Yan hurriedly wiped himself off, put on his clothes and opened the door. To his surprise, standing at the door was Gong Yerong, the director of the Finance Bureau. "Du Mi, you just came back," Gong Yerong said and walked into the house. He was also carrying a bottle of Linchi Baigan and several bags of side dishes that are common in the local area. It seemed that he had come prepared. "There are also ready-made dishes at home." No, my wife is bored when she goes back to her parents' house, drinking alone at home. How about we drink some?" "That's good, I was just thinking that there is no place to eat." Du Yan smiled and cleared the table. Du Yan knew that for Gong Yerong, although his position as finance director was somewhat lucky, it was not that comfortable either.  Although he was not a direct descendant of Guo Songlin originally, he was not far from Guo Songlin after all. But just because he, the finance director, was nominated by Li Peizheng, Gong Yerong's status suddenly became embarrassing. The news that Gong Yerong went to Li Peizheng¡¯s residence to express his gratitude on the day of appointment soon spread. Although Guo Songlin didn¡¯t say anything, his attitude towards Gong Yerong at several county government work meetings was somewhat cold. Now people naturally knew that Director Gong had been promoted but fell out of favor. People who were originally close to Gong Yerong also became cautious. Although Secretary Li seemed to have gradually gained a foothold, County Magistrate Guo was a local snake after all. Naturally, one would not rashly take sides before seeing the situation clearly. As for Gong Yerong, when it came to this job, he could only rush to the shelves and jumped on the boat of Li Peizheng. In this way, Gong Yerong also knew that Guo Songlin would never trust him again even if he looked back, but he simply gave up his thoughts about that place. As the first powerful person in Pingling to seek refuge with Li Peizheng, he and Du Yan naturally left. Much closer. "However, bringing wine to the door was somewhat beyond Du Yan's expectations. There weren¡¯t many food and drinks, and the wine was just okay, but it was interesting for the two of them to drink and chat. It looked like they were done, so Gong Yerong started to talk about the topic. "Du Mi, I heard that something happened in the city last night, right?" Looking at Gong Yerong's probing look, Du Yan wanted to laugh. He put down his glass, thought for a moment and nodded. "I heard that Huihuang is the way to go on Mayor Ren's line. How will the matter be resolved?" Gong Yerong asked anxiously. No wonder he is so concerned. County Magistrate Guo is backed by Mayor Ren. Although not many people know the exact relationship between Huihuang and Mayor Ren, they have heard about it after all. If Huihuang is screwed by Mayor Ren, there is no expression. There are so many things for people to ponder. "Secretary Li will convey Mayor Ren's instructions on strengthening social security at the county committee meeting tomorrow." Du Yan picked up a peanut with chopsticks and chewed it gently. Then he added, "Secretary Cui asked Ren The mayor's instructions are very supportive." A trace of disappointment flashed in Gong Yerong's eyes. He had also heard about the struggles in the city. When he heard that Secretary Cui didn't seem to be strong enough on this matter, he was naturally a little discouraged. Although he knew that saying this might dampen Gong Yerong's optimism about the current situation, Du Yan couldn't help but remind him to be cautious. After all, he was the first powerful figure to take refuge in Li Peizheng. Before Li Peizheng truly established a firm foothold, he always It's better not to let anything happen to him. However, Gong Yerong quickly got rid of the disappointment. When he was about to leave after having a good meal and wine, Gong Yerong seemed to suddenly remember something and turned around and said to Du Yan: "When I came here just now, I saw Lao Huang driving by. The person sitting next to him seemed to be County Magistrate Guo¡¯s secretary Xiao Lu. "Hearing this, Du Yan was stunned for a moment, then patted Gong Yerong on the shoulder: "Go back and have a good sleep. Tomorrow's meeting will not be easy." Sure enough, there will be an enlarged meeting of the county committee the next day. On the show, Guo Songlin immediately showed his strength as a local leader in Pingling. Relying on Ren Shuqiang¡¯s speech on strengthening social security management, Guo Songlin used harsh words at the meeting, which can even be said to be arrogant. After criticizing some existing problems in the county bureau, he directly named the West Market Police Station. This surprised many people, and also made some people who were thinking about it start to wonder, although Secretary Li is the secretary of the county party committee, looking at the current situation, is it really reliable to rely on the past? "Comrades, some of our grassroots cadres only know how to cater to the superiors and do not do anything for the people. They think that as long as they satisfy the superiors, the world will be fine. This kind of thinking is not only unacceptable, but also extremely irresponsible for the cause of the party. Performance!" Guo Songlin, who was sitting on the podium, glanced at Wang Lianyi, who was sitting on pins and needles in the audience. Wang Lianyi was not qualified to participate in this meeting at all, but Guo Songlin named him specifically in the name of participating in special governance. Naturally, the purpose was to teach him a lesson in front of all party committee members and some cadres. Take a look at Li Peizheng¡¯s face! There was no expression on Li Peizheng's face. He just listened to Guo Songlin's words seriously. Even when everyone could tell that Guo Songlin was not interested in drinking, he still seemed tepid. "So when we promote cadres, we must look at all aspects. We can't mention them just because we think they are pleasing to the eye. This is also detrimental to the cause of the party" Before Guo Songlin finished speaking, the two doors of the large conference room in the distance were blocked by someone. Suddenly, a staff member from the county party committee walked into the conference room in a panic with a paper bag in his hand. However, for a moment, he seemed not to know what to do and just stood there in a daze. "What are you doing? Are you in such a panic?" Guo Songlin said because of what he saidI was a little annoyed at being interrupted. "Secretary Li, County Magistrate Guo, um" the staff member stuttered, while his eyes kept looking at Sun Dewen, who was sitting next to Li Peizheng. "What happened?" Li Peizheng asked in a deep voice. "I just received something in the communication room. They are some photos." The man walked to the rostrum in a few steps and put the paper bag in his hand on the table in front of Li Peizheng as if he was getting rid of a hot potato. Li Peizheng frowned, and then took out a stack of seemingly large amounts of photos from the paper bag. Immediately, people in the audience saw Li Peizheng's expression suddenly change, and turned their heads sharply to look at Sun Dewen, who was leaning over to see what was going on, but Sun Dewen's face suddenly turned pale! As Li Peizheng quickly flipped through the photos at the back, his face became more and more ugly. Finally, he stood up and slammed the photos in front of Sun Dewen, turned around and left his seat! By this time, Sun Dewen was completely slumped in his chair, unable to say a word. Sun Dewen was dragged out of the conference room. Compared with Li Peizheng who could restrain his anger, Guo Songlin, who saw those photos, simply threw the photos in Sun Dewen's face in front of dozens of people in the conference room! The meeting could no longer proceed, but the news that Sun Dewen and the woman were having a "field fight" on the river embankment in broad daylight spread throughout Pingling as if they were on an express train. The next day, Taihua Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection came down and took Sun Dewen away. As Sun Dewen fell into the hands of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, a new situation soon emerged. As the carrots were pulled out and the mud was brought out, Ren Shuqiang's position in the municipal government The first general, the executive deputy mayor of Taihua City, was suddenly placed under quarantine for review. And according to the news, someone in the province has already expressed concern about the relationship between certain officials in Taihua and some organizations with a gangland nature. For a time, the officialdom of Taihua City was in turmoil. It was not until half a month later, when people were full of suspicion, that Taihua Municipal Party Committee Secretary Cui Jianbin once again reiterated Ren Shuqiang¡¯s previous speech on social security at a meeting, and at the same time highly affirmed the necessity of Ren Shuqiang¡¯s speech. With this obviously giving A signal that the matter was finalized, an official earthquake that suddenly occurred without anyone expecting it, finally subsided. Just when things were getting heated, in a yard in Pingling, Du Yan was standing aside watching Li Peizheng and Ding Bingxian play chess. ¡°Bingxian, are you mentally prepared to go back to work?¡± Li Peizheng asked. "What to do? Be the director of the county party committee office for you? Then what will Tu Xiangdong do?" Ding Bingxian asked with a smile. "It's the deputy secretary of the county party committee," Li Peizheng said. "Your rank is at the top. It's a bit aggrieved to be the deputy secretary of the county party committee, but don't think my temple is too small." Ding Bingxian looked up at Li Peizheng strangely. He knew that Li Peizheng would not He was joking about this kind of thing, so since he said so, it naturally means that the city has already made a certain decision. As if he knew what Ding Bingxian was thinking, Li Peizheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't dare to take credit this time, and I don't have that much face. Your appointment was directly decided by the city." Having said this, Li Peizheng raised his head and glanced at the person next to him. Du Yan: "I heard that a certain leader in the province named you to be the deputy secretary." Ding Bingxian noticed Li Peizheng's actions. He also looked up at Du Yan, then lowered his head and said casually: " Xiao Du¡¯s job is good, I think it won¡¯t be a problem to get a formal degree.¡± Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Secretary Xiao Du's Happy Time Ding Bingxian was appointed as the full-time deputy secretary of the Pingling County Party Committee. When the news spread, many people in the Pingling official circles were at first confused and stunned, and then they were shocked. Anyone who is slightly familiar with Ding Bingxian¡¯s past knows that Ding Bingxian can be said to be a miraculous figure. Long before the reform and opening up, Ding Bingxian was known for his pen and attracted the attention of a certain Pingling County leader at the time, and was then transferred to that leader. Work. At that time, Ding Bingxian, who was very high-spirited, could be said to be regarded as the most promising official career among the young people in Pingling. However, no one expected that more than ten years later, Ding Bingxian would suddenly become frustrated in his official career. Not only did he fail to reach a higher position, he was even sent back to his hometown in the name of enjoying the treatment of a deputy director, and took a position that seemed to be sidelined at first sight. Editor-in-Chief of Pingling Newsletter. At the beginning, some people thought that Ding Bingxian was just depressed for a while, and that he would be able to revive one day with his talents. However, as time passed, people understood that Ding Bingxian's journey was probably at an end. In this way, people who were still interacting with him originally Some people in the family have also gradually faded away. Although the Ding family cannot be said to be isolated, not many people still remember that there was such a once-powerful figure in Pingling. But no one expected that suddenly, an official earthquake would occur, and the final result of this earthquake was that Ding Bingxian made an inexplicable comeback and became the third-ranking full-time deputy secretary of the county party committee! This really shocked many people. What makes people even more surprised is that they heard that this appointment did not seem to be the intention of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, but the intention of a certain leader in the province. This cast an even more mysterious veil on Ding Bingxian¡¯s comeback. The Ding family suddenly became lively. Those colleagues in Ding Bingxian's editorial department naturally regarded themselves as direct descendants of Ding Bingxian, and some cadres who had not had much contact with Ding Bingxian at ordinary times immediately began to take the initiative to visit Ding Bingxian's house, euphemistically calling it "reporting on work". ". Ding Hongwei¡¯s treatment at the cultural center has also changed. He was originally just hanging around in the department, but he was suddenly announced to be responsible for the daily work of the department. On the other hand, Feng Chao, who was originally responsible for daily work, lost his good job for no reason, but could only complain to his uncle Wu Shenzheng. However, Ding Bingxian didn't seem to care much about this opportunity that suddenly gave him a new lease of life. He still asked his son to set up a small wooden table under the grape trellis in his backyard every day, then make a pot of tea and pour it calmly. Drink by yourself. When even Wu Shenzhen visited him and asked him about his housing requirements, he just said casually, "I like my grape trellis" and nothing more happened. Ding Bingxian joined the Pingling County Party Committee Standing Committee as a full-time deputy secretary. According to the division of labor, he is responsible for party building work, liaison and guidance of organizational departments. Although he was not yet in charge of the Organization Department, this was enough to put Guo Songlin under pressure. When Ding Bingxian was just appointed as deputy secretary, Guo Songlin called Taihua Mayor Ren Shuqiang. Although he was always promoted by the old secretary, the old secretary has retired after all. Guo Songlin certainly considers himself the mayor now. As for the circle of people who still hold leadership positions in the city under the old secretary, Guo Songlin is They have gone a long way. After all, these people are not as thick as Mayor Ren. But what Guo Songlin didn¡¯t expect was that Mayor Ren seemed quite disapproving of his seemingly inquiring but actually complaining attitude, and severely criticized him on the phone. But before putting down the phone, Ren Shuqiang still vaguely nodded at Guo Songlin. This adjustment is not just a matter of Pingling or Taihua City. It involves more struggles at higher levels. So Ren Shuqiang told Guo Songlin that he should be more cautious at this time. Guo Songlin naturally took it seriously, but what he didn't know was that this cautious warning was also what a provincial leader said to Ren Shuqiang. In late September 1990, a sudden personnel change occurred in the Hexi Provincial Party Committee. The central government appointed a new member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of the Organization Department. The original Minister of Organization was transferred to a neighboring province and served as deputy governor. . Since National Day is coming soon, this personnel change seems a bit strange. The original custom of not making major personnel changes easily at this time was broken. What is even more strange is that the former organization director who was transferred was not a standing director when he moved to a neighboring province, so he could not join the Standing Committee. This was naturally a sign of being demoted. . Such a big change is definitely not a small matter for Hexi Province. A new round of formation from top to bottom seems to be about to start again, and the hardest-hit area is Taihua and Pingling Tombs. When this series of ups and downs seemed to be coming, Du Yan took advantage of the National Day holiday to accompany Su Qian to fish in the small river behind Liyuju. CarpShen Hefu, the boss of ?, is very good at doing business. He widened the back door of Liyuju and turned the entire hall into a hallway. Then he had the land facing the river leveled at the back, paved a gravel path, and placed a few With chairs, a small table, and a few sun umbrellas, it becomes a stylish little fishing spot. In the early 1990s, the Xiaoqing River flowing through Pingling County was relatively clear and not seriously polluted. After eating and drinking, friends gathered together to sit by the river, fish and chat, and it was more or less like the white-collar life in a big city. Therefore, as soon as this project was launched, Liyuju's already good business became even more prosperous. There were even rumors that the county committee was considering whether to designate Liyuju as an external reception hotel for Pingling County Committee and County Government. Shen Hefu certainly hopes that Liyuju can have this opportunity, so as long as he is a guest of the county party committee and county government, he will serve him with meticulous care. However, he is even more cautious and careful about Du Yan who brought Su Qian to relax today. Just when Taihua City was first smashed because of the brilliant incident, and then Sun Dewen's pornographic photos and the subsequent involvement of the deputy mayor of Taihua was isolated and examined, and then the Shuanggui incident caused a stir, Du Yan suddenly received the news that since then, There has been no news from Song Jiayi's phone number. On the phone, Song Jiayi just chatted with Du Yan in general, and never mentioned the word "brilliant" from beginning to end. However, during the chat, Song Jiayi seemed to say casually, "Taihua's location is good, and it's even better." What¡¯s rare is that some young people can see opportunities from suffering.¡± When Song Jiayi said this, he deliberately said it in a rather serious and even arrogant tone, which seemed to be the tone of a leader. , and then he laughed and said, "I didn't say that, so don't blame me." Although it seemed like a joke, Du Yan was very satisfied. After putting down the phone, he even said He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and played a few long forgotten tunes. After leaving the county cultural director who had just entered the office in a daze, Du Yan realized that he had really gotten carried away. However, Song Jiayi's phone call also gave Du Yan a reminder. Although he was a little surprised by the background and huge power of the Song family, he also knew that he had indeed been involved in some deep affairs recently, although most people did not know that he was involved in this. What role did he play in the political earthquake that shook the entire province? But now that his goal has been achieved, he should restrain himself. At least while your level is being adjusted again, it¡¯s better to keep a low profile. Du Yan¡¯s level is a minor subject. To be precise, it is a newly adjusted minor subject, but this is not a problem. According to the cadre appointment regulations, because Du Yan graduated from a junior college, which was considered a good high degree at the time, after entering the unit, in principle, he should be treated as a deputy section member. ¡°It¡¯s just that it took a lot of effort for him to enter the county cultural center. As for the treatment of associate subjects, naturally he doesn¡¯t have a share. With such a reason, the next thing will be easier to handle. After becoming Li Peizheng's secretary, the transfer to the deputy department has become just a restoration of his rightful level. The transfer to the full department is the level of treatment that he should really enjoy. Therefore, after Secretary Xiao Du officially served as Secretary Li¡¯s secretary for more than two months, he finally entered the huge circle known as the domestic bureaucracy and became one of the hundreds of thousands of cornerstones that form the lowest foundation of this system. Counting the days, it was a coincidence that the day he was officially upgraded also happened to be his twenty-second birthday. Of course, this birthday is actually just the day when his mother, Sang Shulan, first picked him up. As for his actual age, it is not difficult to calculate. When she picked him up, Sang Shulan guessed it from the fact that he had not been inoculated with chickenpox on his arm. , Du Yan was probably less than one year old at that time. Ever since he was sensible, Du Yan could feel his parents' excessive love for him every birthday. Perhaps he was afraid that Du Yan would fall in love with him. Every time at this time, Sang Shulan would be more partial to Du Yan. This was even Du Fei was once very angry and felt that her mother was partial. Different from previous years, this year's birthday was celebrated in Liyuju. In addition to some old classmates headed by Ding Hongwei, many young cadres also came to the county party committee compound. The reason for this was naturally to celebrate Du Yan's promotion to the official position. division. Although it is not too much for the secretary level of the county party committee secretary to be a full-time secretary, many people still cannot adapt to the miracle of Du Yan being promoted to a full-time department just two months after being transferred to the deputy department. And due to Du Yan¡¯s originally sensitive background, rumors have even spread in some places that Du Yan may be Li Peizheng¡¯s illegitimate son. Du Yan has nothing to do about these rumors, but he knows that he must be more cautious in the future. After all, for Li Peizheng, the reason why he values ??himself so highly is??, mainly because he was very satisfied with his previous performances. Even Li Peizheng should have vaguely guessed that not only Pingling, including Taihua, could undergo such a huge change, it also had something to do with him. It is precisely because of this that Li Peizheng will use himself in an unusual way. In other words, he is not only the forward for Li Peizheng to open up the situation in Pingling, but also the strongman who will stabilize the position later. After dealing with another person who came to say hello, Du Yan looked apologetically at Su Qian, who was holding her chin and staring at the fishhook. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the National Day break to spend two days with Su Qian at the scenic spot in Linshi, but it fell through because he had to deal with the social activities after the upgrade. Du Yan had no choice but to suggest that he go fishing in Liyuju to relax, but What he didn't expect was that he kept meeting acquaintances in Liyuju. There were always people coming to chat with him, the now popular first secretary of the county party committee. There were even people who he didn't know where they came from, and they would come over for no reason. Magnet set. Fortunately, Shen Hefu was quite sensible. Apart from rushing around when Du Yan came over, and then taking care of finding a good place for the two of them, they never came to disturb them again. "Qianqian, why don't I find time to go out with you someday?" Du Yan said apologetically, looking at Su Qian who was not interested. "No need," Su Qian raised her head and tilted her head to look at Du Yan, then smiled and gently pressed her white and delicate palms on Du Yan's forehead, "I just need to look at you like this, but you have to promise me that in the future Don't frown all the time. You'll get older if you frown all the time. I don't want people to say that my boyfriend is an old man in the future." Looking at Su Qian's clear and peaceful smile, Du Yan couldn't help but feel excited. He thought of his past life. The days full of ups and downs experienced by Su Qian and herself reminded her even more that Su Qian never complained about her downfall and never gave up. "Qianqian, I will let you live a good life," Du Yan gently held Su Qian's hand and put it to his lips and kissed her, "I swear I will never let you suffer any more, nor will I let anyone suffer." It hurts you." Du Yan whispered. He knew that Su Qian would not understand the true meaning of his words at this time, but this was indeed his heart. Su Qian felt shy as the palms of her hands were kissed by Du Yan's lips. Although someone quietly looked over, she couldn't bear to refuse the happiness of being pampered. It wasn't until the sound of footsteps came from a distance that Du Yan reluctantly put down Su Qian's hand. When he turned around helplessly, thinking that someone was trying to get close to him again, Du Yan couldn't help being surprised when he looked at the person walking over. "Director Tu, is that you?" Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Secretary Du's Thunder and Lightning (Part 1) Seeing Tu Xiangdong approaching, Du Yan was slightly stunned and immediately stood up. Tu Xiangdong waved his hand with a smile and said, "Xiao Du, be casual, I'm just out for a walk." Du Yan introduced Su Qian to Tu Xiangdong. Looking at Su Qian, who was slightly restrained and bowed slightly, Tu Xiangdong nodded approvingly. Head: "He's a pretty good kid. Xiao Du, you have to be content." Listening to Tu Xiangdong's pointed words, Du Yan's heart moved. Shen Hefu had already walked over from a distance but stopped. Tu Xiangdong seemed to know Shen Hefu, and when he saw him, he waved to him to come over. "Boss Shen's business is getting bigger and bigger." Tu Xiangdong looked at the smooth ground around him and the string of chairs and tables placed along the riverside and said. After hearing his words, Shen Hefu's expressions changed. "Director Tu, I'm just making a small fuss. I don't dare to occupy this riverside by myself. You see, I didn't put up fences on both sides. I just wanted to see that the guests were fine after eating, so I asked someone to clear a place here. Whatever Let¡¯s set up some chairs and let¡¯s sit down and have fun.¡± Shen Hefu said carefully. He knew whether what he was doing was an illegal occupation of land or not. It was just a matter of Tu Xiangdong¡¯s lips moving. In the face of near-absolute power, he usually didn¡¯t. Those all-around tricks become useless, and even defending oneself becomes pale and feeble. "Your idea is good, but it's a bit new. What do coastal cities call this?" Tu Xiangdong turned around and asked Du Yan. "Entertainment and leisure." Du Yan smiled slightly. "Yes, entertainment and leisure, this is not bad, it is a new thing." Tu Xiangdong said as he sat down and picked up a pair of fishing rods. Seeing Tu Xiangdong¡¯s actions, Shen Hefu cleverly took out a small box of mixed bait from the small plate next to him and placed it in his hand. "Xiao Du, how about the two of us fishing?" Tu Xiangdong asked Du Yan. Shen Hefu immediately said goodbye and left knowingly. Su Qian also knew what Director Tu seemed to want to say to Du Yan, so she made an excuse to say she was a little tired and sat down on another chair to rest. "Xiao Du, young people must know how to seize opportunities. Once you let go of some things and people, it will be difficult to get them back," Tu Xiangdong said casually, looking at the slightly swaying fishing line on the water. "Sometimes you have to take the initiative. "Director Tu, what you said is that I will cherish the opportunity." Du Yan seemed to be paying attention to Shui Shui's answer, but his mind kept spinning. He didn't know why Tu Xiangdong suddenly responded. When he said these words, he and Tu Xiangdong were in two different circles in the county party committee compound. Of course, he definitely belonged to Li Peizheng, and Tu Xiangdong Thinking of this, Du Yan was stunned again, and thought about it seriously. Du Yancai suddenly realized that although Tu Xiangdong had served two terms as secretary of the county party committee so far and was already considered a veteran of three dynasties with Li Peizheng, when he thought about it carefully, although his predecessors all thought highly of Tu Xiangdong, especially the old secretary even directly promoted him to a member of the standing committee of the county party committee. , Director of the County Party Committee Office, but if you think about it carefully, you can find that no one has really heard of who Tu Xiangdong belongs to so far. Du Yan glanced at Tu Xiangdong curiously, always paying attention to the water, as if he was really just here to fish. "Xiao Du, some things are just like fishing. For fishermen, it is an entertainment and leisure game, but for the fish under the water, it is a matter of life and death." Tu Xiangdong still seemed so calm and indifferent, but it seemed that Even he himself didn't know what people would think after hearing the obvious hints in these words. "But sometimes it's too bad if the fish is too big. If you don't know how to release it, just release it. The fish won't be caught and the fish won't be caught." A good fishing rod has to be broken. " "You're right, you have to give up when you have to give up." Du Yan suddenly felt that the fishing rod in his hand was tight, and the fishing line immediately jumped tight. "I'm hooked." Tu Xiangdong glanced at the fishing rod in Du Yan's hand and smiled, then casually put his own fishing rod on the shelf, "Xiao Du, I heard that you are very interested in the local sideline production in Daqing Township. , and also proposed to build a green fruit wine processing factory? " Tu Xiangdong asked Du Yan with a smile. There was nothing special about his face, but his words made Du Yan's heart sink suddenly. Tu Xiangdong stood up after saying this. He didn't let Du Yan see him off. Instead, he walked along the riverside with his hands behind his back and walked far away. Du Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought as he saw the procrastinating Tu Xiangdong's back. No one knows why, the driver Lao Huang was suddenly transferred out of the county party committee compound and became an ordinary driver at the county supply and marketing cooperative. "The person who succeeded Lao Huang was Xiao Geng, a demobilized soldier who had just changed his job last year. Xiao Geng had been an automobile soldier in the army for several years and had carried out several missions to aid Tibet.?There is no technical skill to say, but what is rare is that Xiao Geng was demobilized last year and was assigned to work as a driver in the county supply and marketing cooperative. It can be said that he has nothing to do with the local circle. So Lao Huang¡¯s family switched with Xiao Geng and became a car driver in the county party committee compound. And people also know that although it is not stated explicitly, Xiao Geng has almost become Li Peizheng's full-time driver. Whether it is Guo Songlin or other members of the Standing Committee, they will not use Xiao Geng to drive them unless absolutely necessary. Ding Bingxian has taken up the post of deputy secretary of the Pingling County Party Committee. On the day he took office, he was accompanied by the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. It can be said that the city gave him a lot of face. Although according to various rumors, Ding Bingxian's re-appointment seemed to have caused a lot of controversy in the city, judging from the news received by some people, the city's support for Li Peizheng was what really surprised people. The fact that Li Peizheng visited Ding Bingxian's house several times before has been revealed. After paying closer attention, people realized that the two people were actually former college classmates. Looking at Ding Bingxian¡¯s sudden comeback and being entrusted with important tasks, these are naturally regarded as the city¡¯s absolute support for Li Peizheng¡¯s administration in Pingling. As for the truth, not many people pay much attention to it. After the National Day, Du Yan and Su Qian had to spend some time apart. A coastal study and inspection class sponsored by the Taihua City Finance Bureau gave Pingling two places. Unexpectedly, Su Qian, who worked in the Finance Bureau, was inexplicably Become a member of this study class. Although he felt a little reluctant to be separated for a month, Du Yan had nothing to say when he thought that this was the good intention of Finance Director Gong Yerong. However, when they were alone the night before leaving, Du Yan couldn't help but bully Su Qian. Although it didn't cross the line, it was enough that Su Qian was so embarrassed that she immediately hid in her room after returning home. Gu Weifen, who was suspicious, felt both fond and worried at the same time. She was thinking that her son-in-law would not be able to escape, and she was also worried that her daughter might not know how to pay attention to her sense of propriety, so she might let him eat it all and drink it all without acknowledging it. It would be a big loss. However, this small separation is not useless. I heard that the study class is going to a large coastal city that was opened earlier to learn about modern finance and accounting systems. Du Yan naturally thought of the first domestic company that should not be listed at this time. stock exchange. In the early 1990s, stocks, an emerging thing, were not only a novelty in the eyes of the Chinese people at that time, but also a major issue of right and wrong related to the capitalist society! Du Yan remembered that the first domestic stock exchange would not be listed in Donghai City for more than a month. This was great news for anyone who paid a little attention to domestic political and economic developments at that time. Of course, he also remembered The turbulent trendsetters who subsequently appeared in the stock market, and when thinking of the legends like Yang Wanwan who were still talked about many years later who dared to take advantage of the market early, Du Yan seemed to see a huge and unnoticed building. The gold mine is right in front of you. So on the night before Su Qian left, while he was enjoying the "lust of food and drink", he also kept reminding Su Qian that she must pay more attention to the upcoming securities exchange market while studying in Donghai. When Su Qian worriedly asked him if he would make a mistake by touching these things, Du Yan had no choice but to excuse herself because of work needs. ¡°We have to admit that after the huge shock in **, people at this time are even more sensitive to the struggle between capital and society than in previous years. After Su Qian left with the class, Du Yan's life became monotonous again. Ding Bingxian's appointment to the Standing Committee brought about tremendous changes in Pingling's political landscape. The most surprising thing was that Tu Xiangdong, the director of the County Party Committee Office, publicly supported Li Peizheng at the Standing Committee several times. This made Guo Songlin suddenly look a little bit Passive, although he still takes a certain initiative in the Standing Committee meeting, Li Peizheng has undergone such a big change in just three months, and the two people ranked first and third in the Standing Committee disagree with him, which makes Guo Pine Forest can't help but feel a lot of pressure. During this period, Du Yan followed Tu Xiangdong's hints and tried to keep a low profile. As the secretary of the county party committee secretary, it is already enough to attract people's attention. If you don't know how to keep a low profile, then you really don't know how to advance or retreat. And Tu Xiangdong did give Du Yan a lot of inspiration with his own way of life. At least Tu Xiangdong knew his position very well, and he knew when to rush to the front as a staff member, and when to retreat behind the scenes. , leave the halo to the leader. But Du Yan also knew that he would never learn Tu Xiangdong's tricks, let alone become the second Tu Xiangdong. ¡° If Tu Xiangdong is one of those people who is born to assist, no matter who the other person is, he is only loyal to that chair, then Du Yan knows that he is definitely not the kind of person who is just willing to stay behind the scenes or rely on others to achieve things.   Du Yan has his own ideals, or in other words, his own ambitions. When he returned to this era inexplicably, he had already vowed to completely change his previous life. Therefore, although he has become a lot lower-key, he is absolutely Not willing to waste time. The weather in November has become a bit dry. Looking at the sweater on his body, Du Yan couldn't help but think of Su Qian who was far away in Donghai City. Su Qian has been away for more than half a month, but the two of them write letters every two days. Su Qian will write to Du Yan some new things he saw in Donghai City, which makes Du Yan feel like he is Accompany you every step of the way. When he was still far away, he saw Director Li waiting at the door of the County Cultural Center. Looking at Director Li's smiling face, and remembering the way he always pretended to be dignified in front of his subordinates, Du Yan Just a little helpless. Although it was official business, Du Yan came here on a bicycle and did not take the county party committee's car, nor did he let Xiao Geng take him off in Li Peizheng's car. He pays great attention to this aspect. Although Guo Songlin was somewhat passive due to the previous incident with Sun Dewen, this does not mean that he is willing to be gradually deprived of power by Li Peizheng. Since Li Peizheng couldn't be touched for a while, it became an inevitable opportunity to attack the people around him. Du Yan was unwilling to let Guo Songlin use himself as a breakthrough point. "Xiao Du, oh, I should call Secretary Du." Lao Li walked down the steps with a smile on his face and shook hands with Du Yan. Speaking of which, Lao Li is actually not that happy. He is in his fifties and is about to retire, and he is still a minor. But Du Yan was already a serious student in his early twenties. Although it stands to reason that with Du Yan¡¯s academic qualifications, he should have been promoted to a minor subject six months after he officially started working, so the subsequent transfer was just a kind of compensation, but he had only been the secretary of the county party committee for a few months, and he was suddenly promoted to a full subject? But of course Lao Li didn't show his displeasure on his face. Not only was the chief secretary of the county party committee already a figure, but I heard that even Deputy Secretary Ding valued him highly. This was naturally not something Lao Li could offend. "Director, please call me Xiao Du." Du Yan said modestly after shaking hands with Lao Li. People like Lao Li are not afraid of offending, but it is best not to offend. Some things often happen to such inconspicuous little people. Du Yan came here this time to contact the County Cultural Center about the county party committee¡¯s plan to launch a socialist patriotism education activity throughout the county. With the changes in the pattern of Eastern European countries and the entire world, the global anti-Japanese movement in the late twentieth century seemed to have fallen into a huge trough. The drastic changes in Eastern Europe put great pressure on the country. At this time, we should carry out socialist patriotic ideological education, It became a political task that the country urgently needed at that time. After Du Yan explained his intention, Lao Li immediately said, "For such a political task, our embassy must deploy elite soldiers and strong generals, and we must let comrades with strong ideas serve as the main responsible persons. Xiao Ding is politically reliable and flexible in thinking, and young people are very capable." If there is a way, our library will have to rely on him in the future. " Du Yan smiled and nodded. He naturally knew that Lao Li's favor was not given in vain. It is natural that the son of the deputy secretary of the Party Building is responsible for the promotion of the patriotic ideological education movement. . Seeing Ding Hongwei, Du Yan wanted to laugh. Ding Hongwei was not living a good life these days. My comeback didn't mean much to him. On the contrary, because of his father, his work unit put more burdens on him, and his life was no longer so carefree, so he met Du Yan. Naturally, he was very happy, and he did have something to talk to Du Yan about. As soon as Lao Li left, Ding Hongwei immediately said mysteriously: "What do you think Feng Chao is doing now?" "What is he doing?" "He is chasing Xiao Fei." Hearing Ding Hongwei's words, Du Yan's face immediately changed It was ugly. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Secretary Du's Thunder and Lightning (Part 2) After two lives, from the beginning of ignorance to now, it seems that he has completely started over. Even though there are still some things that cannot be given up, as the trajectory of his life gradually changes, Du Yan still feels that he is different from before. But no matter how different it is, his feelings for his relatives have never changed, and Du Yan also believes that since he can come back again, what he can give his closest people must be a better future than before. So, when he heard from Ding Hongwei that Feng Chao was pursuing Du Fei, the first thought that flashed through Du Yan's mind was: This guy is looking for death! " Du Yan definitely has no good impression of Feng Chao, whether in his previous life or in this life. At this time, he felt as if the anger in his heart was suddenly about to explode. Even when he knew that Feng Chao had used plagiarism to replace his position, he was not so angry! Du Yan considered himself to be tolerant, even kind, towards Feng Chao. Although due to changes in his destiny, Feng Chao not only failed to become the first secretary of the county party committee, but even his original position in the cultural center seemed to be replaced by Ding Hongwei, who rose to power due to his own influence, Du Yan always believed that he was generous enough Yes, after all, I didn¡¯t pursue the issue of him trying to plagiarize my work. But he never expected that Feng Chao would actually set his sights on his sister! Of course Du Yan knew that because Du Fei had been beautiful since she was a child, she had been secretly pursued by boys when she was very young. Although the young men and women at that time were not so bold, they could pass notes in class and follow her secretly on the way. Things happened frequently when Duffy was young. In addition to what Du Fei secretly told him, Du Yan himself had intercepted the "unruly people" who were following him on the road more than once, and taught some of them a lesson. But Du Yan believes that if Feng Chao pursues Du Fei, it will not be just because of Du Fei's beautiful appearance, but more likely to take revenge on himself. This made Du Yan even more angry! If Feng Chao uses other methods, that's it. The most Du Yan can do is let Feng Chao know that he is no longer something he can deal with. And as the environment changes, Du Yan even feels that he doesn't really take Feng Chao seriously anymore. Even if there is no relationship with Wu Shenzheng, Feng Chao is no longer the enemy he seemed to hate his whole life. But by attacking Du Fei, this was definitely the bottom line that Du Yan could not tolerate! "How did you know?" Du Yan, who was still calm but angry, asked Ding Hongwei. "I passed by that kid a few days ago. He was on the phone and didn't pay attention to me. I heard him call Feifei's name and said he was going to pick her up at No. 1 Middle School, so I paid attention." Ding Hongwei slightly squinted his eyes and looked at Du Yan, as if he was discussing a conspiracy. "But I'm not sure that's what happened, so I followed this guy secretly. When I saw that this guy really came to the county I went to wait for Xiao Fei at the entrance of No. 1 Middle School. At that time, I wanted to go over and slap this grandson, but then I thought about it and I had to tell you about it first. "How did he meet Xiao Fei?" Du Yan frowned. , he didn't expect that Feng Chao would play such a dirty trick. Du Yan felt unhappy when he thought of Du Fei being with this kid. "Didn't the library have a publicity event with County No. 1 Middle School last week? I remember that Xiao Fei was the student representative of County No. 1 Middle School. I guess it was Xiao Fei that that kid knew at that time, but Xiao Fei didn't know him. When we talked, he mentioned That kid of yours must have taken it seriously." Ding Hongwei naturally knew that Feng Chao originally planned to plagiarize Du Yan's article. Although the specific situation is not clear, one can imagine Feng Chao's hatred for Du Yan. Du Yan nodded silently. He was not in the mood to talk about publicity tasks at this time. He casually mentioned a few things. When he saw that the time was almost up and rescheduled the time with Ding Hongwei, he immediately left the cultural center and rode home. Since arranging the dormitory, Du Yan has gone home less often. Especially as Li Peizheng gradually started to start working during this period, Du Yan has been working overtime for longer and longer. Many times, it is already very long to return to the dormitory. Sometimes I don¡¯t have to take the materials back to the dormitory to continue working. Although he had paid attention to it before, he never expected that such a thing would happen after not going home for a few days. Du Yan cycled home with a heavy heart, but as soon as he entered the alley in the dormitory area of ??the old heavy machinery factory, more people greeted him along the way. The news that the child picked up by Lao Du's family has become successful has made the dormitory area of ??the Heavy Machinery Factory regard it as important news for a while. Especially as the Heavy Machinery Factory seems to be getting worse and worse, some people who originally thought that their children would take over found him. The family of the heavy machinery factory, which had an iron rice bowl, was originally very envious of the boy from the old Du family who had a knitted rice bowl.Now I look even more jealous. ??????????????????? But that¡¯s how people are, even though they gossiped behind the scenes but only when they met in person, everyone was full of enthusiasm, as if they usually have a good relationship with Du Yan. Du Yan walked through the alley absent-mindedly. Before he reached the door of his courtyard, he saw several people standing in the open courtyard door. A middle-aged woman with a thick waist and a somewhat swarthy appearance was talking to Sang Shulan. There were two young men and women standing beside her. After a closer look, Du Yan recognized that these were his mother's maiden sister and her son. As for The young woman next to her seemed to be her son's girlfriend. Seeing that family, Du Yan's already bad mood became even worse. The sister of Sang Shulan in her previous life was not only not close to their family, it could be said that they had a very bad relationship. " Du Yan still remembers that when he married Su Qian, his mother once borrowed three thousand yuan from his aunt behind his back to organize a wedding for him. However, not long after the wedding, his aunt came to collect the debt. At that time, it happened that Du Fei needed money to go to college, so her mother tried to talk to her aunt about taking it easy, but her sister turned against her and said sarcastically: "How can I go to college if I don't have money?" , Besides, no matter how much you love him, he is not your own, and he may not recognize you as his mother in the future.¡± Du Yan remembered that he had just come home and happened to hear these words, and he even remembered that they hit the mark. When her mother looked at her, she looked hesitant and even a little scared, as if she was really afraid that her aunt was right and that she would leave this home one day. Thinking of this, Du Yan's face couldn't help but darken. Although he didn't resent his aunt very much, he remembered that she had tried so hard to make herself smile but she couldn't do it. "Xiao Yan is back!" Unexpectedly, she was so far away. When she saw Du Yan's aunt, she had already shouted. Then she turned around and scolded her son who was standing next to her: "Xiao Yong hasn't called me cousin yet, you kid is getting worse." "Da Yue is ignorant." "Cousin," Zhao Dayong called out with some difficulty. Speaking of it, he had bullied Du Yan a lot since he was a child. Ever since he learned from the adults that the children from his aunt's family were picked up, he He never called Du Yan cousin, and he often imitated adults and called Du Yan a "wild child" during fights. "I don't have that many watches, so I can't afford to be a cousin." Du Yan casually replied to the later Internet ridicule. Even if he didn't have much resentment towards the Zhao family, he certainly didn't have much affection for the Zhao family. Moreover, he could also guess that his aunt took the initiative to come to the door. , it¡¯s just because he became the first secretary of the county committee, otherwise the Zhao family would be too snobby to visit Lao Du¡¯s house. "Xiao Yan, Dayong was not sensible before, so don't be on the same level as him." A smile appeared on her aunt's face. Of course she knew that her family had not been kind to Du Yan in the past. If it weren't for her brother-in-law, he would have been a bitch at the old heavy machinery factory. She has a head and a face, and she doesn't even bother to recognize her sister and brother-in-law. "Xiaoyan." Sang Shulan looked at her son helplessly. Although she knew the temperament of her sister's family, they were biological sisters after all. Seeing her son's gloomy face, Sang Shulan felt a little embarrassed. Du Yan couldn't bear his mother's embarrassed look, and a smile appeared on his face: "Aunt, you have just come, let's go into the room to talk." "No, let's leave now," the aunt said with a smile, and then looked back Looking at the restrained son and his girlfriend next to him, "Dayong is getting married on the eighth day of the lunar month next month. I want to invite you to come over and get together as a family." "Yes, Xiaoyan, we have to go to Dayong's wedding." Sang Shulan shouted next to her. To smooth things over, although she didn't like her sister's family that much, she gradually let go of her previous unhappiness when she thought that her son had become successful now. "The eighth day of next month?" Du Yan thought about the date in the Gregorian calendar for a while, and felt a little embarrassed. "That's the sixth, I guess. I might not be able to go. Secretary Li is going to have a meeting in the city and I have to go with him." "That's it. Your parents and Xiaofei are going, work is important, and you are doing something big now, so you can't delay." Although the aunt was a little disappointed, she immediately said with a smile. At this time, the way the family looked at Du Yan was naturally completely different. Du Yan opened his mouth to accompany the secretary of the county party committee to the city for a meeting. When he stood at the gate of the courtyard and saw the neighbors looking over from a distance, his aunt felt that her face was brightened. Looking at his aunt and his family walking away, and hearing his mother sigh slightly, Du Yan couldn't help but call out softly: "Mom, I" "Xiaoyan, I don't blame you," Sang Shulan shook her head, "That's your aunt. I know, and I also know that you have objections to your uncle's family." Seeing Du Yan about to speak again, Sang Shulan stopped him, "When you were a child, your uncle once hit you with a stick in the house and scolded you. I know all the ugly words, so it doesn¡¯t matter if you treat them like this now.??. It's just a joke. After all, they are relatives. It doesn't matter if you don't like them in your heart. At least you have some contact with them. In terms of face, they still belong to your aunt and uncle. "I know, Mom," Du Yan scratched his head in embarrassment. He knew that his mother had been protecting him since he was a child. He didn't expect that his mother would still remember things that he had forgotten all these years, but he soon remembered what was important. "Mom, where is Xiaofei?" " "Xiao Fei? School isn't over yet, what? "Seeing that her son looked wrong, Sang Shulan couldn't help but worry. "It's okay, Mom. I just want to ask Xiaofei about the exam. After all, the college entrance examination will be held next summer. "Then you can help her review her homework more," Sang Shulan said with a smile. If Sang Shulan is most proud of her life so far, one is that she was the captain of the Iron Girl Commando when she was young, and the other is that she was the captain of the Iron Girl Commando when she was young. The first thing is that she has two promising daughters. As for marrying Du Zhenhai, Sang Shulan has always believed that it should be something Du Zhenhai is proud of for many years, "But don't delay your work. " "I know, Mom. "Du Yan responded and walked into the house with his mother. Because he studied late, it was completely dark when Du Fei came home. Du Fei was a little surprised to see his brother waiting in his room. " Brother, if you need anything, come to me. " Du Fei took off her coat as she spoke. Seeing her sister's sizable breasts highlighted by the white shirt, Du Yan coughed to attract Du Fei's attention. "Mom asked me to take a look at your homework. You will take the college entrance examination next year. There's nothing I can't keep up with. " Du Yan said, pointing to Du Fei's schoolbag, and casually made a gesture to pick it up. "Brother, what are you doing, just looking through girls' bags! Du Fei's face immediately turned red. She grabbed her schoolbag and put it next to her. "I'll just take a look. It's nothing special." Although he knew that his action was a bit excessive, when he thought of what Ding Hongwei said, Du Yan I felt even more uncertain. "By the way, Xiaofei, you recently held an event with the cultural center, right?" " "Yes, brother, your cultural center also sent someone to contact us. His name is Feng Chao. He is your former colleague. He said that he has a good relationship with you. "Du Fei quickly forgot what happened before, she took out a book from her schoolbag and said. "Feng Chao, this bastard" Du Yan couldn't help but cursed in a low voice. "Brother, what are you talking about? " "It's nothing, it's just that you are busy with your homework now, don't be distracted by other things. "Du Yan covered it up. "But brother, didn't you say you can't study hard? Speaking of which, some teachers in our school still remember you. When they mention you, they say that you are not only good at homework, but also have a wide range of knowledge. We should learn from it. And you. "Duffy said with some pride. Of course she didn't say that she was very proud to tell her classmates that the student the teacher praised was her brother. "So I don't want to just study. Besides, I am also responsible for contacting your colleague. In the future, we A kind of long-term exchange activity with the cultural center. " "Still in long-term contact? "Du Yan's face turned slightly dark. He snorted and picked up a book to flip through. He was a little surprised to find a small poem written with a pen on it. But what surprised him was that Du Fei's font was very familiar to him. , this little poem was obviously not written by Du Fei, but the font seemed familiar to him. ¡°Peeping again! Du Fei grabbed the notebook, then looked at where Du Yan had turned it and shook it at his brother, "This is what your colleague wrote for me. He seems to be a talented person." " Du Yan's face has become increasingly ugly. Of course he doesn't believe that Du Fei has any thoughts about Feng Chao, but Feng Chao's methods are a bit bad but he can't stand it. After a few perfunctory words to Du Fei , Du Yan returned to his room. Although he didn't think Feng Chao would have the guts to do anything extreme, he could never let this happen. After thinking about it for a while, he had roughly figured out what to do. Du Yan walked out of his house and went to the canteen at the entrance of the alley. He flipped through his address book and called the West Market Police Station. By coincidence, Wang Lianyi was on duty at the station. After receiving the call from Du Yan to come out for a gathering, Wang Lianyi immediately agreed. More than half an hour later, the two of them met in the single room on the second floor of Liyuju. ¡°Wang Suo, do you still remember the first time we had dinner in this room? "Du Yan asked with a smile after drinking a few glasses of wine. After listening to Du Yan's words, Wang Lianyi's heart moved. As Li Peizheng gained a foothold, Du Yan's status naturally increased, and Wang Lianyi vaguely heard that Du Yan won Li Peizheng. His new appointment is not just because he is Li Peizheng's secretary. More often, Du Yan is more like Li Peizheng's assistant in the county party committee office, while Wu Shenzhong, deputy director of the county party committee office, seems to be somewhat dispensable.It is not clear whether the news is true or false, but Wang Lianyi knows that "Du Mi" is not only a person, but also an important person in Pingling. So when Wang Lianyi heard about the first meal, he naturally thought of Feng Chao who suddenly barged in at that time. Wang Lianyi thought that although it would be freed up after a few months, Du Mi was going to settle the accounts after the fall. . As for Wu Shenzheng behind Feng Chao, Wang Lianyi just weighed it briefly before gritting his teeth and making up his mind: "What's wrong, Du Mi, did you remember what happened before?" "Where are you thinking," Du Yan picked up the bottle and slowly poured it for himself He poured wine into the cup and stopped when the "white mouthful" in the cup was about to overflow from the rim of the cup. "I'm talking about the one I met later, I think he was called Private." Speaking of this name, Du Yan He almost wanted to laugh, because he couldn't help but think of a word that was often used to curse people on the Internet in later generations. When he thought about it carefully, the sound was quite similar. Hearing Du Yan talk about the second soldier, Wang Lianyi's eyes couldn't help but flash slightly. He didn't expect Du Yan to even remember that person's name, but he couldn't help but think to himself: Du Mi really holds a grudge. "I heard that the soldier at the County Agricultural Machinery Bureau seems to have dirty hands and feet." Du Yan picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Wang Lianyi nodded understandingly, and then the two of them changed the subject and talked about something else. When Shen and Fu came in to toast, Du Yan specifically told him that he wanted to find an opportunity to have a drink with him alone. A few days later, the County Public Security Bureau suddenly received a report letter from the West Market Police Station. The letter mentioned that Hong Weibing, a clerk in the County Agricultural Machinery Bureau, had repeatedly purchased public grain at low prices and resold it by taking the opportunity of going to the countryside to purchase unified products. . Hong Weibing was immediately summoned by the County Public Security Bureau. Not long after, it was reported that Hong Weibing confessed that when Feng Chao, a clerk at the County Cultural Center, cooperated with the County Agricultural Machinery Bureau to promote scientific and technological knowledge in the countryside, he printed false propaganda notices for Hong Weibing and deceived him. local people benefit from it. Feng Chao was taken away by public security officers who suddenly appeared while he was at work. Although Wu Shenzheng immediately tried to get around after receiving the news and used almost all his help, Feng Chao was still sentenced to three years in prison for fraud. . ¡°That¡¯s not all. I don¡¯t know where it came from that Wu Shenzhong played a disgraceful role in this fraudulent purchase case. Sure enough, within a few days, Wu Shenzheng was transferred to deputy section chief of the county archives office. When Wu Shenzhen packed up his things and left the office, several people in the room whispered. When they saw Du Yan standing at the door and nodding to Wu Shenzhen, people knew that Wu Shenzhen's era in the first room of the county party committee was over, and Du Yan's era had come. Volume 1 "Volume 1 Pingling Nestling" Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Emergencies A gust of cold wind blew in from the crack in the not-so-tight window, and with the whistle-like sound of the wind, white snowflakes filled the sky outside the window. Counting the days, it has been two months since Su Qian went to Donghai City for further study, and she should be back soon. During this period, Du Yan and Su Qian not only wrote letters to each other, but also sometimes talked on the phone. Su Qian seemed to have a lot to say on the phone, or Donghai City, which can be called the most modern and petty bourgeois city in China. , it had a profound impact on her. Sometimes on the phone, Su Qian would lament for no reason how there was such a place in the world, with all the novelties and all kinds of life beyond her expectation. Du Yan could hear her sighs on the phone. and envy. However, Su Qian did not forget what Du Yan had always told her. Although she was puzzled as to why Du Yan was interested in securities trading, a new thing that even Donghai people were suspicious of, she still used her spare time to talk to her. It is convenient to study and learn about the stock exchange in Donghai City that just opened in December. In fact, the Donghai Stock Exchange was listed as early as November, but it did not officially open until December. What kind of inside story happened during this period is of course not known to outsiders. In fact, no matter it is listed or after the market opens, the vast majority of Chinese people have always been wary or cautious about stocks, which have long been marked by capitalism. It is viewed with a respectful distance. There are many Donghai locals among them. Although Donghai people can be said to be the most open-minded in the country, because of this, many elderly Donghai people will naturally not forget those old Donghai people who speculated in stocks in the old society. After the regime change in the late 1940s, they experienced scenes that would make them shudder and unforgettable. Because of this, when it comes to securities trading, people in Donghai are more on the sidelines, while in China there are more voices of doubt, especially some veteran cadres, who hate stock trading, and some even directly shouted "capitalist restoration" extreme slogan. But for Pingling in the mainland, these things are too far away. Most people know nothing about it except for having heard of "stocks" in newspapers, which is a term with obvious bourgeois characteristics. However, Du Yan was very serious about collecting all kinds of information about the securities trading market. At this time, no one could have thought that in just one or two years, stocks, which are still a fantasy for ordinary people, would be available to thousands of households, let alone that there would soon be a nationwide epidemic. A "stock trend" that lasted even into the next century. Du Yan also remembered that in order to promote the country's securities policy as quickly as possible, Donghai City even used administrative orders to require government workers to arrange stock subscriptions as a political task, and some large state-owned enterprises even distributed stocks as year-end bonuses for that year. Because of this kind of behavior, there were several minor disturbances in some places. For Du Yan, stocks are undoubtedly like a cornucopia placed in front of him. More importantly, in the eyes of others, this cornucopia is undoubtedly a big pit that they are afraid of avoiding. There is nothing better than being able to make a fortune but no one is competing with you for this opportunity. Sometimes I look at the things about the Donghai Stock Exchange described in the letters written by Su Qian, and I see Su Qian often mentioning them casually. When he saw the name of a certain company stock that would soar into the sky in the future, Du Yan even had the urge to put down his work, immediately jump on the train and run to the ten-mile foreign market to pan for gold. However, this is of course unrealistic. Not to mention that Du Yan will not give up his nascent career, even Li Peizheng will not easily agree to Du Yan immediately. Li Peizheng had carefully considered who would take Wu Shenzheng's position as deputy director of the county party committee office. According to the unwritten rules of the agency, as the first secretary of the county party committee, Du Yan has to bear the title of deputy director of the county party committee office. However, in specific work, because the first secretary mainly has to serve a specific leader, there are more It's just a name, but there still needs to be a dedicated deputy director for specific work. So although the position of deputy director was very important, Li Peizheng did not consider Du Yan at the beginning. Instead, he took a fancy to another old agency Lao Yu who had been in the county party committee office for a long time. Moreover, from Du Yan, Li Peizheng also found out that Lao Yu was a good person. The most important thing was that he had no particularly close people in the county party committee compound, which avoided drawing circles. Although it was precisely because of this Lao Yu in the deputy department The clerk, a member of the cold bench, is an untouchable young man of 20 years, but Li Peizheng thinks it can be done. But Ding Bingxian¡¯s words made Li Peizheng change his mind. When he heard that he was planning to mention Lao Yu, Ding Bingxian just asked lightly: "If Du Yan only serves as a secretary, what can he do in the future?"?The most you can do is a qualified staff member. " Ding Bingxian's words made Li Peizheng really think about it seriously. Over a period of time, through work, Li Peizheng had to admit that Ding Bingxian's vision of people was indeed unique, but Ding Bingxian saw Du Yan's position more clearly than he did. He just He has always regarded Du Yan as a secretary who can do things for him and is flexible, and at most an excellent and qualified assistant. But from the beginning, Ding Bingxian regarded Du Yan as a person who could take charge of his own affairs. And Li Peizheng had to admit that as he began to In the year-end summary, Du Yan indeed, as Ding Bingxian said, began to show his talents as more than just a secretary. As early as when he first came to Pingling, Du Yan took the opportunity to accompany Li Peizheng to the countryside for research. Although the poverty alleviation ideas for Daqing Township and several other remote towns were only rough ideas at the time, and following a series of events that followed, these ideas seemed to have disappeared. However, when I saw a report about Daqing Township, When the unified plan for the three towns with sideline cultivation as the leader was placed in front of him, Li Peizheng discovered that Du Yan had never forgotten this matter. What surprised Li Peizheng was that the plan not only introduced in detail how to do it. Taking advantage of the local complementary development of these three towns, a very detailed plan was conceived to develop large-scale diversified fruit forest planting in the near future, and then use the fruit trees to build a winery. The emergence of such a plan surprised Li Peizheng at first. Then he felt that it was unrealistic. After all, with the geographical location of Daqing Township, Li Peizheng couldn't help but feel helpless when he thought about the current situation without even a decent road. But Li Peizheng also admitted that Du Yan's idea was worthwhile in some places. Note that if it is a relatively long-term plan, it is not a very attractive prospect. This reminded him of Ding Bingxian's previous evaluation of Du Yan. Li Peizheng knew that he had just arrived in Pingling, and if there was nothing big, Due to changes in the situation, it is unlikely that the position will be moved in the next few years, so this way he will have time to plan for the development of Pingling in the next few years. Du Yanzheng can first mention the position of deputy director of the County Party Committee Office to practice for a period of time, which is almost the same. When the time came, he would be a capable helper for him. With this thought, Li Peizheng naturally felt that it was better to arrange the time sooner rather than later. It was indeed a bit surprising for Du Yan to suddenly become the deputy director of the county party committee office. Although Feng Chao's actions finally stimulated him and made him determined to completely eliminate this always disgusting opponent, although he didn't like Wu Shenzhong and Du Yan, he didn't have much hostility. Unexpectedly, in the end Wu Shenzhong would still be involved in the matter of his precious nephew. Du Yan also thought that there might be a shadow of Ding Bingxian behind this, but even though he thought so, he maintained that Ding Bingxian was always indifferent in his mind. Whether it was because of his image or simply because he didn't want Ding Bingxian to think he was too young, in the end he didn't ask Ding Bingxian. After becoming the deputy director, Du Yan's work naturally became busier, although Li Peizheng still mentioned Lao Yu as the director of the department. The deputy director is in charge of the daily work of the county party committee office and can be regarded as his assistant. However, he, the deputy director, is indeed a little overwhelmed. Du Yan's dormitory suddenly became lively. Every day after get off work, in addition to hearing the dormitory neighbors shouting "Director Du" in the corridor, people would often come to visit, and even people would follow him when he went home on weekends. came to the door, and most of them would not be empty-handed Because of this, after the first person who came to visit with something left, Du Zhenhai called his son in front of him and said seriously: "Xiaoyan, you Now that we are older, some things are beyond my control. But you have to remember that we used to be very poor and ambitious. We walked out of the yard and stood up straight in front of the old neighbors. You have something to say now! When you become an official, don't let people poke your back and make irresponsible remarks. If you don't serve as an official like that, you won't last long, understand? " Looking at his father's stern look that he hadn't shown for a long time, Du Yan felt like crying at that time. Impulsive, he knew that his father had been honest and upright all his life, and what he despised most was those sloppy activities. Although it was precisely because of this that his father was always unsuccessful in the factory despite his excellent skills, but as his father said, his father had been upright for most of his life. Stand up and say something! A gust of cold wind blew through the cracks in the window, and the chill interrupted Du Yan's contemplation. This year's winter seemed surprisingly cold. Du Yan still remembered that it seemed that in the past two years, the weather began to get worse and worse. In a few years, the climate problem will become a major global problem, and the hidden dangers of the domestic climate environment have become more and more severe in the past two years. Shaking his head and throwing these thoughts that have nothing to do with him now to the back of his mind, Du??I looked at the photo sent by Su Qian on the table. In the photo, Su Qian was wearing fashionable and trendy clothes, standing on the famous East Bund, and she looked a little more mature like an urban girl of this era. A rapid ringing of the phone suddenly occurred to him. As soon as Du Yan picked up the phone, he heard anxious shouts coming from inside before he could speak: "Is this the office of Secretary Li of the County Party Committee? Is it Secretary Li?" "This is Secretary Li's office. Which one is it? Position?" Du Yan asked in a deep voice. "I'm Lao Yang from Daqing Township, is Secretary Li here?!" Du Yan's heart skipped a beat when the other party's anxious and frightened shouts made Du Yan's heart skip a beat. He immediately thought that the person on the phone should be Yang, the elder of Daqing Township. Over the years, Daqing Township has been dominated by wealthy people with the surname Chen. In order to prevent the town government from becoming the private office of the Chen family, even though most of the town party branch secretaries have the surname Chen, the mayor is still held by people with foreign surnames as much as possible. But even so, in Daqing Township, paternalistic management like Chen Laogan¡¯s is still inevitable. "Mayor Yang, don't worry. I'm Du Yan, Secretary Li's secretary. Did something happen?" In Du Yan's impression, Mayor Yang was relatively stable and not impetuous, but judging from his tone of voice, I guess Something really happened. "Mi Du, please ask Secretary Li to answer the phone. We have something big going on here!" Mayor Yang's voice sounded completely out of tune. "The old black stone at the east end of the town has collapsed in the snow!" Hearing that Yang Zhen Du Yan's heart skipped a beat during the long call. He knew that the locals called landslides caused by snowstorms in winter "snow collapses", so although he didn't know which old black stone Mayor Yang was talking about, he immediately realized the problem. serious. Du Yan immediately knocked on the door and walked into Li Peizheng's room. Li Peizheng just said the situation and immediately picked up the phone. "Lao Yang, how is the situation over there? Is it serious?!" "Secretary Li, the situation is very serious. The town's factory is under the old black stone. The snow suddenly collapsed and buried it underneath! Secretary Chen led People went to rescue, and people from the town health center also went, but it looks like the snow is too heavy, and there may be snow collapse!" Mayor Yang's panicked voice made Li Peizheng's face become even more serious. "Are there any casualties?" Li Peizheng asked in a deep voice. "I don't know yet, everything is in chaos now. Secretary Li, what do you think we should do?" Mayor Yang was obviously panicked, and his words were not measured. However, listening to the chaotic voice coming from the phone, Li Peizheng I can only imagine how bad the situation over there is! "Lao Yang, you and Secretary Chen must control the situation. A bigger situation must not occur. The county will arrange for people to go to Daqing Township to provide support." Li Peizheng pressed the phone and immediately ordered Du Yan to inform other leaders of the county committee, and at the same time ordered Immediately summon personnel from the county public security bureau and county hospital to prepare for emergency rescue. The road from the county seat to Daqing Township is not easy to walk. Coupled with the continuous heavy snow, the convoy is even more difficult. From time to time, vehicles collide with the cars in front and behind them due to poor control. There are even two vehicles. Because the road surface was too slippery, the car fell directly under the roadbed next to the highway. Although the people in the car were fine, the car would not be able to keep up for a while. The constant bumps and ups and downs were uncomfortable, but Li Peizheng, who was sitting in the car, couldn't care about it at all. His tightly knitted eyebrows never moved away, and Guo Songlin's face, sitting next to him, was not much better than his. Although he didn¡¯t know the specific situation of Daqing Township from the phone call, when he thought that something like this happened during his tenure, even if it was an accident, Li Peizheng still felt waves of guilt that he couldn¡¯t get rid of. "How could something like this happen? There shouldn't be too high mountains in Daqing Township." Guo Songlin said in a depressed voice, holding his breath. Seeing that something like this happened near the end of the year, he felt that he was so One year is really a long time to memorize words. Whenever there is a problem in the local area, someone must be responsible. If there are casualties again, no matter how many reasons you have, you cannot escape responsibility. "If there are casualties, what will the city think of our Pingling team" Hearing that they were only considering the views of the city leaders at this time, but did not care about the casualties at all, Li Peizheng glanced at Guo Songlin next to him, with a faint twinkle in his eyes A little anger! "Comrade Songlin, let's think about how to rescue first, and we'll talk about the rest later." Li Peizheng suppressed the strong disgust in his heart and said calmly, "When we get to the place, don't make any pretense of listening to the situation, let the comrades in the county immediately go to the rescue. ." Guo Songlin nodded silently, and for a while there was no other sound except the sound of the car bumping on the road. When the rescue convoy finally saw the shadow of Daqing Township in the distance, many people were shocked by the scene in the distance! ??In a corner deep in the distant town of Daqing Township,You can see the thick smoke rising, and the cold air is mixed with a strong earthy smell. "Don't be idle! Go to the rescue! Go to the rescue!" Li Peizheng, who had just got off the car, threw off his coat, snatched the microphone from the hand of the militiaman next to him, turned around, stepped on the open door, stood high in the car, and faced The convoy following behind roared loudly: "Save people first! Don't worry about anything else! Save people first!" Li Peizheng's roar hovered above people's heads. He knew that for many years, if there was an accident, it was almost customary for people to first protect national property. This is a fixed pattern in thinking. This kind of thinking has caused many lives that could have had more chances of survival to be meaninglessly ignored in many accidents. This is something Li Peizheng absolutely cannot accept, let alone tolerate! ¡° Then Li Peizheng took the lead and walked towards the place where the accident happened. Guo Songlin, who was following behind, had an indescribably gloomy face. When he saw Mayor Yang running from a side road in the distance, he immediately yelled at him: "Yang Wenxian, how do you work! How do you set up a factory in the town?" In such a dangerous place?!¡± ¡°Guo, County Magistrate Guo, we didn¡¯t expect this,¡± Mayor Yang, whose face was scratched with dirt, said anxiously, ¡°Secretary Chen took people to dig out the house. "Secretary Li and County Magistrate Guo, please stay here for now. The snowdrift over the old black stone is too big and it's not safe." "How are the casualties?" Li Peizheng's voice has calmed down. He knows that people are watching him at this time. Lao Yang, tell the truth, how many casualties were there?" Yang Wenxian licked his dry lips, glanced at Guo Songlin, who was standing next to him with a pale face, and finally said: "There should be more than a dozen people. I heard that most of them are in the packaging area inside the factory. "Let's go take a look!" Li Peizheng said and took the lead towards the factory yard, which looked like a panic. Du Yan was the first to follow. "Secretary Li, this is too dangerous. I heard from the old man that there might be snowfall!" Yang Wenxian was stunned and immediately chased after him, and the people behind him also immediately chased after him. Before entering the factory yard, Du Yan saw a large sloping slope covered with yellow-brown soil behind the factory. From a distance, it formed a striking contrast with the white of other places nearby. Seeing the slope, Du Yan already knew why although Daqing Township did not have too steep terrain, there were still snow collapses. Precisely because this slope is not steep, and there has not been much snowfall in recent years, people often ignore the danger of landslides if there is too much snow on the slopes. "We must do our best to save people. I don't care what methods you use, I want people to come out alive!" Li Peizheng gave a stern order to an armed police officer who came after hearing about you. After speaking, Li Peizheng stepped on the messy debris on the ground and continued walking. ¡°Secretary Li, don¡¯t go any further, it¡¯s dangerous ahead.¡± A cadre shouted worriedly from behind. "What are you talking about? My life is life, but other people's lives are not life?!" Li Peizheng turned around and reprimanded with a livid face, but just when he turned around and wanted to continue walking forward, there was a panic shout from beside him, A wooden pillar leaning against the broken wall suddenly fell towards where he was standing! Li Peizheng stared blankly at the wood falling towards him. At this moment, a figure suddenly pushed him away from the side, and then the pillar hit the man hard! "Xiao Du!" Li Peizheng let out an uncontrollable cry of sorrow! Volume 1 "Volume 1: Pingling Baby Bird" Chapter 34 Chapter 34: Fly, baby bird! A strong smell of disinfectant flooded into his nose. When he opened his eyes, he saw nothing but white. The syringe bottle above his head shone with dazzling reflections in the sunlight. As soon as he moved for a moment, Du Yan couldn't help but groan. The sound alarmed the people nearby, and the faces of several people appeared in front of Du Yan as their figures swayed. His mother's anxious look and his sister's red eyes, which seemed to have been crying, were dazzling in front of his eyes, and a face that surprised Du Yan appeared on the other side of the bed. Du Yan wanted to speak, but because of the stuffiness, he couldn't. Another coughing fit. "Don't move, Xiaoyan. You've woken up. Why are you so careless? If you have a problem, what do you want your father and mother to do in the future?" Sang Shulan rubbed her eyes and her voice was choked. She used to have a strong temper. When Captain Tie Niang found out that something had happened to her son, she felt like the sky was falling. On the contrary, Du Zhenhai, who usually doesn't talk that much, can still deal with this sudden incident calmly. "Brother, please don't do this again. You're scaring us to death." Du Fei held Du Yan's hand and shook it. If the doctor who came after hearing the news hadn't stopped her, she would have continued shaking it. After a period of examination, when the doctor showed a smile on his face and said, please don't worry, Secretary Du is fine, except for Du Yan's family, there were several slight sounds of joy beside him. In fact, Du Yan's injury was not very serious. Although the wooden beam was not light, he was standing not far below the wooden beam, so when the wooden beam fell down, he was not picked up because the distance was too close. Too much force, on the contrary, it was because Du Yan used too much force in a hurry. Li Peizheng slipped to the ground after being pushed out by him, and his shoulder was slightly injured. Du Yan's injury was not serious. He was just suffocated due to the impact of the heavy object, and his head hit a stone when he fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was thick snow everywhere at the time, which provided a buffer. After being sent to the county hospital, the diagnosis confirmed that it was not serious. He just needed treatment for a concussion and was hospitalized for rest. What Du Yan didn¡¯t expect was that Chen Laogan, the town party committee secretary of Daqing Township, not only came, but also stayed by the bedside. Seeing Du Yan wake up, Chen Laogan was very excited. After Du Yan said a few words to his mother and sister, he came over but just took Du Yan's hand and held it hard. "Secretary Chen, why are you here? You are so busy with work now, so don't come to see me." Du Yan said, sighing secretly in his heart. If something like this happens in Daqing Township, no matter what the outcome is, Chen Laogan cannot be blamed. Maybe with the separation of the party and government in a few years, most of these accidents will be borne by the government, but now as the local leader , Chen Laogan must bear the main responsibility. Although Du Yan did not agree with the work style of old-fashioned cadres like Chen Laogan, he knew that although the grassroots cadres at that time had a rough and rough style, compared with those of later generations, many of them were sincere and wanted to do their jobs well. . "Secretary Du, I'm here to thank you," Chen Laogan held Du Yan's hand tightly and couldn't say anything for a while. He just kept nagging, "Tell me about this. How can you say this?" , Secretary Du, thank you for saving Secretary Li. If Secretary Li had made a mistake in Daqing, I, Chen Laogan, would not be able to explain to the organization even if I risked my life! Chen Laogan¡¯s benefactor is also our Daqing¡¯s benefactor!¡± ¡°Secretary Chen, I see what you said, I am Secretary Li¡¯s secretary, and I should take good care of Secretary Li.¡± Du Yan smiled, he knew that in Chen Laogan¡¯s case. In this old man's mind, Li Peizheng should be what the elders call a parent. If something really happened to Li Peizheng in Daqing Township, it might really be a disaster for the entire Daqing Township. "Secretary Chen, you are so busy now. I don't dare to accompany you here. You should go back. You are still in charge of Daqing Township." He gave a wry smile, "After such a big thing happened, I, the town secretary, have no shame. Secretary Li asked me to go home and wait for the matter to be dealt with. Now there are people in the county to handle the rest of the matter, so there is no need for my old man." At this point, Chen Laogan seemed to have figured out that something was wrong with his words, and he immediately defended himself, "I'm not in a mood, nor am I dissatisfied with Secretary Li's handling opinions. I'm just anxious. After all, I can't help at this juncture, so I can't hold it back." "It's embarrassing." Looking at Chen Laojie's disappointed look, Du Yan sighed softly. He knew that Li Peizheng couldn't handle it this way, after all, such a big thing happened. "By the way, Secretary Chen, the specific losses in this accident" Du Yan asked worriedly, if the casualties were large, not to mention Chen Laogan, even if all the cadres of Daqing Township were taken down, the problem would not be solved. It must be able to calm down. "It's okay, it's okay!" Speaking of this, Chen Laogen showed a happy smile.?No one was killed, but a few people were injured. Secretary Du, I still have to thank you. If you hadn't saved Secretary Li and allowed Secretary Li to continue to direct the town's disaster relief, it might not have been a big deal. "Seeing the heartfelt smile on Chen Laogan's face, Du Yan could only feel a sigh of relief in his heart. At noon, Li Peizheng, who had just attended the meeting, heard that Du Yan had woken up and rushed to the county hospital without having time to eat. Originally, After the accident, Li Peizheng wanted to send Du Yan to the city hospital in Taihua, but because of the heavy snow, the road to Taihua was blocked, so he had to be treated at the county hospital in the past two days in addition to dealing with Daqing. After returning to the county town, Li Peizheng took the time to see Du Yan. Although the doctor assured that Du Yan was in good physical condition and was only temporarily comatose and would not suffer any sequelae, Li Peizheng still ordered several times to take it seriously and absolutely not Seeing the attitude of the county party committee secretary, the county hospital, which was already very concerned about his treatment, went to the hospital to visit him immediately after hearing that Du Yan had woken up, even after getting off work in the afternoon. After the news spread that he went to the hospital again, the entire Pingling officialdom naturally had a more special view of Du Yan, the already popular first secretary of the county party committee. But what was unexpected was that it turned out that Du Yan might be. The rumor that Li Peizheng had an illegitimate child has become less popular. This is because people have thought that regardless of whether the rumor is true or not, they will directly focus on Du Yan's risking his life to save Li Peizheng. Yan will never be just a secretary. Whether it is due to gratitude or family ties, Li Peizheng will only cultivate and promote Du Yan more openly from now on. It can be said that from this moment on, Du Yan has completely become Li Peizheng. A certain kind of personal relationship was established, and this relationship was so open and honest that it was difficult for people to say anything. As a result, more people came to the hospital to visit Du Yan, which had never been broken before, and it surprised many people. However, in addition to visiting in the name of the county party committee, County Party Committee Standing Committee Member Ding Bingxian and County Party Committee Office Director Tu Xiangdong also went to the hospital to pay attention to Du Yan's situation in their own names. This made the county hospital even more afraid to ignore it, especially when Tu Xiangdong was indifferent. After saying, "Xiao Du needs to pay attention to his life during treatment," the county hospital immediately sent a young nurse to take care of Du Yan all day long. This made Sang Shulan, who was staying with the hospital, feel like she had become a Superfluous. But when Du Fei saw the pretty little nurse walking around in front of his brother's bed all day long, his face was already ugly, and he scolded Tu Xiangdong and the leaders of the county hospital all over Du Yan. While hospitalized, the snow collapse accident in Daqing Township finally came to a conclusion. In this accident, due to a lack of correct understanding of the local geographical environment, the town factory was built in a dangerous place, resulting in serious injuries in the snow collapse accident. Two people were slightly injured, six were slightly injured, and the direct loss reached more than 100,000 yuan. Although there are historical reasons for the location of the town-run factory, it is also true that the Daqing Township Committee and the town government were negligent. Although the accident occurred at all levels of the town. Cadres were not afraid of danger and actively rescued him. However, in line with the principle of being responsible to the party and the people, the Pingling County Party Committee decided to remove the mayor of Daqing Township Yang Wenxian from his post and demote him to another job. He also gave the town party committee secretary Chen Laogan a major demerit within the party and suspended him from office. For the punishment of self-examination, the deputy town secretary will be temporarily responsible for the work of Daqing Township during the suspension period. When he heard about this decision, Du Yan first felt a little lucky for Chen Laojie, and then began to think about the things behind the result. Du Yan has heard that Chen Laogan was a famous stubborn man in the county when the old secretary was there, and he dared to say a few words to the old secretary, let alone Guo Songlin. It is said that Chen Laogong despised Guo Songlin's eccentric appearance and even contradicted him several times. So Du Yan can imagine that it would be expected if Guo Songlin wanted to take down Chen Laogong through this incident. . Thinking about it, Du Yan could guess that Li Peizheng should have protected Chen Laogan to some extent in this matter. After all, Chen Laogan had a high reputation in Daqing Township. If he were to win suddenly, it would probably cause some problems. Unnecessary trouble. In this case, even if a new town secretary is appointed, he may not be able to start his work. As for Yang Wenxian, there is no choice but to feel aggrieved. After all, someone must be responsible for such a big thing. And there were several times when Du Yan heard people mention that Yang Wenxian was not secure in his position as mayor of Daqing Town. He even publicly said that even if he was demoted back to the county and became the third or fourth leader of the county bureau, it would be worse than being in the position of mayor of Daqing. Daqing is so damn strong. Speaking of which, this treatment really fulfilled his wish. Thinking like this, Du Yan vaguely guessed that Li PeizhengIn my opinion, after arriving in Pingling, Li Peizheng's influence on the county committee has begun to bear fruit as the path has gradually been paved. At least in the beginning, the situation in which Guo Songlin had an overwhelming advantage has changed. In the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, with the fall of Sun Dewen's "field battle" scandal, the rise of Ding Bingxian, and the defection of Tu Xiangdong, the original advantage of Guo Songlin has been weakened a lot. Now, except for Organization Minister Liao Kun and Propaganda Minister Yuan Zicai, they have always been dead. In addition to clinging to Guo Songlin's thigh, others are more or less in sync with Guo Songlin on some major issues. Under this situation, after half a year of operation, Li Peizheng is finally going to take action on the towns below! The first target is naturally Daqing Township, which happened to have a major accident! Removing Yang Wenxian and vacating the position of mayor is only the first step. The next key thing is who should be pushed to this position? Du Yan, who had a slight headache at the thought, rubbed his forehead. Although he was only a secretary in name, Du Yan also knew that with this incident, he could be said to have finally entered Li Peizheng's personal circle. This has nothing to do with the relationship between the leader and the secretary. Completely different, but a closer relationship that can be said to completely share weal and woe. In this way, he had to think about Li Peizheng's next step, but when he thought about this, Du Yan couldn't help but admit that although Li Peizheng had indeed established a firm foothold in Pingling in the past six months, the key to the mayor of Daqing Township was After arranging his own people in the positions, after counting them carefully, he found that it was really embarrassing that there were no generals in Shu. "Creak" the door rang, and the young nurse walked in. The nurse was naturally quite curious about Secretary Du, who looked about the same age as herself but was already a popular secretary in the county. Thinking of the fact that several county party committee leaders who had only heard of him came to the hospital to visit him two days ago, the nurse couldn't help but feel that this young man with a childish look on his face was really incredible. "Secretary Du, your letter." The little nurse placed a letter in front of Du Yan. Because he was afraid that Su Qian would be worried, Du Yan told his family not to tell Su Qian about his injury. He also asked the county party committee guard to take the time to send the letter addressed to him to the hospital. But looking at the postmark date on the envelope, I guess this letter must have just been delivered to the county party committee guard, and someone specially delivered it. In the letter, Su Qian not only mentioned the scene and prosperity of Donghai City with great interest, but also mentioned a piece of news that caught Du Yan's attention. That is the country¡¯s decision to start the construction of the Huangjiang Development Zone. Speaking of the Huangjiang Development Zone, Du Yan certainly knew that it would later become the most influential national development project in the country. Even when the project was just established, it had already attracted unanimous attention at home and abroad. Unlike the industry-intensive model of the Delta Development Zone, the Huangjiang Development Zone is a brand-new industrial park integrating modern finance and high-tech, especially the biomedical engineering industry. Du Yan remembers clearly that the Huangjiang Development Zone quickly played an eye-catching role soon after. After entering the new century, it also played the role of an economic vane for the entire central coastal region. Du Yan also remembered that this development zone once faced a crisis of demise, and the cause of this crisis was a storm that was about to start in the near future. Du Yan has been silently paying attention to the political storm that not only affects the country but also the world. Because he knows that this storm is likely to have an extraordinary influence and role in determining whether he can soar into the sky. However, what Du Yan didn¡¯t expect was that on the second day after he was discharged from the hospital and officially started working, Organization Minister Liao Kun suddenly called him to his office. Looking at Du Yan's young and even immature face, Liao Kun, who had been silent, didn't know what he was thinking, but after a while, he said in a low and serious tone: "Comrade Du Yan, I am talking to you on behalf of the organization now. " Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Serving in Daqing Township The car was bumping on the road, because the ice formed on the snow had not completely melted, so sometimes the wheels would slip on the road, and the shaky feeling made people sitting in the car Just worried. Du Yan silently looked at the scenery outside, listening to Liao Kun in the front passenger seat chatting and laughing with the middle-aged man next to him. Du Yan was thinking about the scene when Li Peizheng was talking to him alone before arriving. When the final personnel changes in Daqing Township came out, it was very unexpected. In addition to the town mayor Yang Wenxian who has been confirmed to be transferred, Chen Laogan, who was originally thought to be punished but would not have any major problems, was removed from his position as secretary of the town party committee and transferred to director of the town people's congress. It is estimated that he will be suspended first. But after all, Chen Laogan is a native of Daqing Township, and the county still relies on him to help maintain the situation, but it is estimated that he will not be of great use in the future. The person who succeeded Yang Wenxian as mayor of the town was Du Yan. Although this result surprised some people, it was not very strange after all. Speaking of it, both in terms of academic qualifications and work experience, as a full-time secretary to the county magistrate, he was placed in the town below. Mayor, this is reasonable, but Du Yan's age has slightly attracted people's attention. After all, the mayor who is only 22 years old always attracts a lot of attention. Du Yan knew that at this time, if it were more than ten years later, maybe the fact that he would become the mayor at the age of twenty-two would have been spread all over the Internet. What really surprised people was that the person who succeeded Chen Laogong Town Party Committee Secretary was a man named Shi Changgeng. Regarding Shi Changgeng, Du Yan had only heard of the party secretary of No. 1 Middle School in his county, but seeing the way he chatted and laughed with Liao Kun since getting on the bus, Du Yan had already guessed that this person should be from Guo Songlin. Daqing Township has already received the notice, but the cadres in the town did not go to the town entrance to greet them. At this time, the cadres have not developed the habit of greeting leaders at the border, and because Daqing Township originally had strong clan influence. In this place, the cadres of Daqing were obviously somewhat emotional about the fact that the county not only transferred Yang Wenxian, but also suddenly removed Chen Laogan's position. This can be seen from the expressions on the faces of the cadres standing in front of the town office compound, but it was at this time that Chen Laogan's prestige in the local area was truly demonstrated. Although they had already known about his dismissal, the cadres in Daqing were still very Standing consciously behind Chen Laogan, watching Liao Kun get out of the car, no one could get in front of Chen Laogan. Chen Laogan walked up to shake hands with Liao Kun. Speaking of which, Yang Wenxian was sent to take office by Liao Kun. But in the blink of an eye, Yang Wenxian was unlucky. Chen Laogan himself became the main person responsible for the snow collapse accident and had to resign sadly. . When Shi Changgeng was introduced, Chen Laogan's face was not very good. For these grassroots cadres, naturally they don't like to hide things in their hearts. Since you are here to steal my seat, naturally you also I won't look good on you. But when he saw Du Yan, a smile appeared on Chen Laogan's wrinkled face. He chuckled and stretched out his hands to hold Du Yan's hands vigorously, and kept shaking them. "Secretary Du, now you are Mayor Du. But we have been looking forward to having you here. As soon as we knew that you came to our Daqing to be the mayor, everyone was very happy. I have told everyone that I will follow Du from now on. The mayor throws his arms away and does it. If anyone disobeys, slap them with your big mouth. These guys won't be afraid unless they are beaten." Chen Laogan chuckled, and his affectionate attitude attracted the attention of Liao Kun and Shi Changgeng next to him. , couldn't help but glance at each other and frowned secretly. After coughing and interrupting Chen Laogan's words, Liao Kun took the lead into the conference room of the town office compound. The conference room was already full of cadres. Looking at the few people who walked in, the cadres had different expressions on their faces, and the atmosphere became a little tense for a while. Liao Kun frowned secretly. He knew that Chen Laogan was obviously unwilling to accept it. Speaking of sending the new secretary and mayor to take office this time, both Li Peizheng and Guo Songlin had already told Liao Kun that if the cadres of Daqing Township If you have any resistance to the personnel arrangements of the county party committee, you must do a good job of explaining and appeasing them. So after Liao Kun walked to the main seat in the conference room, he did not sit down. Instead, he stood and stared condescendingly at the cadres below. It was not until the conference room gradually became quiet after a while that he slowly sat down. Next, he opened the book he brought and announced the appointments of Daqing Township Party Committee Secretary and Mayor as well as their relevant resumes based on the records above. Du Yan was sitting next to Liao Kun. Next to him was a dark-faced, strong-looking middle-aged man. Du Yan remembered that he was Peng Jun, the deputy secretary of Daqing Township. Listening to Liao Kun reading out the appointment letter without emotion, Du Yan's eyes slowly swept over the faces of the cadres below. He would need these cadres to work together in the future, and for Du Yan, although This is still regarded as Li Peizheng¡¯s feather.Under the wings, Daqing Township was undoubtedly the first political starting point in his life. Seemingly turning his head slightly unintentionally, Du Yan saw Peng Jun next to him looking at him. When his eyes met, Peng Jun seemed stunned and then smiled. Du Yan nodded modestly. At this moment, Liao Kun's appointment letter had just been read: "Comrade Shi Changgeng and Comrade Du Yan will be invited to speak respectively." There was a burst of applause, and Shi Changgeng raised his hands with a smile and said With a press of the button, he smiled and spoke in a very gentle tone. When he spoke, his eyes would not pay special attention to anyone, but his demeanor naturally carried a rigorous aura. "Comrades, although I have done party building work before, this is the first time that I have directly served in a local government. Many places have to learn from Secretary Chen and the comrades here, but since the county party committee has decided to arrange me to this position I will definitely live up to the expectations of the county party committee and county leaders, and at the same time, I will also live up to the expectations of the people of Daqing. This is the task assigned to me by the party, so I will definitely be a good squad leader and never slack off until Daqing. The road ahead is very difficult. This is because our ideas have not kept up with the times. In the future, Daqing will embark on a road to wealth under the leadership of the party" Shi Changgeng's voice was loud and full of confidence. . Although he saw that Chen Laojiu next to him had an ugly face after hearing what he said, he believed that what Chen Laojiu had at this time was just some of the residual power he had accumulated before. As soon as he, the secretary, officially took office, everything would naturally be settled. will change. "Comrade Chang Geng said it very well. The party's leadership must never be relaxed at any time. However, I think Comrade Chang Geng is somewhat modest. He has very rich work experience. The leaders of the county committee and county government respect him as a young man. The secretary of the town committee has full confidence and great expectations. I believe that Daqing Township will have a bright future under the leadership of Comrade Chang Geng, the squad leader. " Liao Kun showed a rare smile after Shi Changgeng's speech. When he said these words, he glanced at Du Yan beside him. He believed that with his support for Shi Changgeng, which was almost obvious, Du Yan's life in Daqing Township would not be easy in the future. However, Liao Kun didn't do things too well. After seeing the different expressions of the cadres below with satisfaction, he continued: "Comrade Du Yan will be invited to speak." When Shi Changgeng spoke, Du Yan had been listening carefully, and sometimes even recorded it in his notebook. Regarding Shi Changgeng's attitude of being a strong secretary from the beginning, and Liao Kun's unabashed favoritism later on, Du Yan didn't seem to hear anything, until After hearing that he was asked to speak, Du Yan put down his pen and looked seriously at the cadres below who clearly felt that there was a strange atmosphere between the new secretary and the mayor. "Comrades, I think many of you know me, so I won't talk empty words." Du Yan's first words made the cadres in the conference room stunned at first, and then became inexplicably agitated. This little Mayor Du was in tit-for-tat confrontation with Secretary Shi! "I have a few numbers here for you to listen to," Du Yan said, looking down at the notebook on his desk. "Two hundred and ninety-one, thirty-seven thousand two hundred and sixty-one, seven hundred and sixty-seven thousand two hundred." Fifty-five, comrades, do you know what these data are? "Some cadres looked confused, and some seemed to remember something, but Du Yan did not let them guess any more. "These are the area under the jurisdiction of our Daqing Township, the total population and last year's GDP." Du Yan said lightly, "We only need to do the math to know that last year our town's per capita GDP was just over 200. And the national profit turned over is less than 400,000 yuan, but just like this, our Daqing is already considered wealthy in Pingling. Compared with other towns, Daqing has done very well. Isn¡¯t it like this? Old Secretary Chen ?" "Yes, that's right. Speaking of which, I have a responsibility. I failed to be the leader." Chen Laogan's voice was dull. "No, Secretary Chen, as I said before, if you are not a good leader, let alone the comrades in other towns." Du Yan smiled and saw Liao Kun's dissatisfied eyes. , he didn't care. In fact, before coming to Daqing Township, Du Yan had already made up his mind. Now that he had taken such a step, he would definitely do his part. "But I have also heard that the situation in Daqing this year should be better than last year. The main reason is that some town leaders led the masses to do some very practical work, such as planting multi-purpose fruit trees, increasing sideline varieties, and opening up a variety of Business channels, this is the direction of development. " Du Yan ignored Liao Kun, who was getting impatient. Instead, he opened his notebook and began to list the investigations he had already planned one by one. ? ?Due to the snow collapse incident, the personnel changes in the Daqing Township leadership team seemed too sudden, which left Shi Changgeng no more time to understand the situation in Daqing Township. But Du Yan was completely different. Due to his experience in his previous life and his conjectures when he met Song Jiayi, he had already had an overall vision for the future of Daqing Township before he officially became Li Peizheng's secretary, so he had a lot of assumptions about the future. For people in Daqing Township, a remote and remote area, this problem was quite scratching their heads, but it had been brewing in his mind for a long time. Liao Kun had begun to look at his watch impatiently, and Shi Changgeng next to him also frowned secretly. They never expected that this simple personnel meeting would inexplicably turn into a one-man show in which Du Yan announced the policy agenda as the mayor. Listening to Du Yan speak out the numbers one by one, the following cadres just listened from the beginning. Afterwards, they whispered to each other, and some even added a sentence below. Liao Kun wondered if Li Peizheng had long wanted to take Daqing Township into his own hands? However, Liao Kun couldn't understand that although Daqing was a well-known brand in Pingling, he couldn't see what was worthy of Li Peizheng's attention in this place, which made Du Yanneng rather leave the comfortable county town. I also want to come here to the countryside where just walking on the sedan chair can knock people to pieces. ¡°So comrades, Secretary Shi¡¯s statement that we have hope in Daqing is well-founded. This is not only because of the leadership and support of the party, but also because of the efforts and wisdom of our Daqing Township people and the location of our Daqing Township. Benefit and harmony, with these, let the masses live a good life, it will no longer be empty words!" When Du Yan just finished speaking, before his voice fell, Chen Laogan, who was sitting next to Shi Changgeng, had already stood up and followed him! The cadres in the conference room stood up and applauded vigorously! Looking at the scene in front of him, Liao Kun was expressionless, while Shi Changgeng secretly felt a little worried. For the first time, he felt a little doubtful whether his decision to be the secretary of the town committee was correct. ¡°Perhaps because Du Yan unabashedly revealed his hidden side at the meeting, Liao Kun¡¯s mood also became bad. He didn¡¯t stay to eat and left by car on the pretext that he had work in the afternoon. Looking at the Daqing Township cadres standing in a row to watch him off in the rearview mirror, Liao Kun felt a vague sense of indescribable relief in his heart. It seemed as if as the town moved away, a hidden danger that might become a threat in the future was finally thrown into a place where he couldn't see it. After seeing off Liao Kun, the cadres of the town committee immediately surrounded the two new leaders. However, unlike people in other places who walked away, people still paid more attention to Chen, who had officially resigned from the post of secretary and became director of the National People's Congress. The face of an old guy. Seeing that Chen Laogan was not indifferent to the two secretaries and mayors, the cadres were naturally very enthusiastic. At the suggestion of Lao Zhai, the director of the town office, a group of people surrounded several leaders and walked to the restaurant in the town. The aroma of mellow wine came from the dinner table, and Du Yan immediately thought that it must be the green fruit wine he had drank. The banquet was very lively, and the grassroots cadres who were not very particular about rules were even more casual when they got to the banquet table. Whether it was the secretary or the mayor, three bowls of wine for new guests has been a long-standing rule in Daqing Township. Although Shi Changgeng came from an education background, he was open-minded. After drinking three bowls in a row, he won some favor from the cadres at the wine table. Deputy Secretary Peng Jun was the first to clink glasses with him, which also made Shi Changgeng feel a little better. Other ideas. But for Du Yan, the cadres were different. After pouring the wine into a large cup, Chen Laogan put the wine glass in front of Du Yan and said: "Mayor Du, I, Old Chen, am the one who made mistakes. , I don¡¯t have the qualifications to say this, but you just mentioned at the meeting that the income of our town has been better than last year in the past few years. I think I still have the right to say this. " "Secretary Chen, you are welcome. Just say it." Du Yan took the wine glass. "In the summer, after you and Secretary Li came to Daqing for investigation, I worked with everyone in the town to find a few independent entrepreneurs with good craftsmanship according to your instructions, and we started a small wine workshop. Although the wine produced is small, it can be regarded as a side job in the town. It is better than the previous days when everyone made their own wine and drank all day long. Over the past few months, our small workshop has improved a bit, and it was still the same at first. Our people took Qingguo wine to Shuangdui and Liuliji to sell it. Now people from other towns come to us to buy wine. I have witnessed this with my own eyes. Mayor Du, this is all from you. For the idea I gave you, I would like to thank you for this glass of wine, Chen LaoGeng. To be honest, not many people in Daqing Township have the dignity to drink the wine I proposed, but I just thought of making money for you. I have to respect this wine!" Chen Laogan said, raising his glass and drinking it cleanly regardless of whether Du Yan answered it or not!   Looking at the excited expression on Chen Laojie's wrinkled face, Du Yan nodded. Although he knew that the green fruit wine was sweet but full of stamina when it was put into his mouth, he still gritted his teeth and lifted up a bowl that was not much smaller than a rice bowl. cup and drank it in one gulp. Du Yan really couldn¡¯t remember how the banquet ended. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua New Star" Chapter 2 Chapter 2 is complicated Du Yan woke up after a gust of cold wind blew on his face. Although his head hurt a little, when he saw Chen Laojie coming into the room, Du Yan still struggled to sit up from the bed. "Mayor Xiao Du, you don't have a good drinking capacity. You just drank a lot and you collapsed. You have to practice in the future." Chen Laogan chuckled and sat on the chair next to him. He picked up the thermos without noticing anyone else. He poured a glass of water and started drinking, but when he stopped, he looked at Du Yan and sighed. "Mayor Xiao Du, I am the one who made a mistake. Daqing Township will really depend on you from now on." Chen Laogan put the water cup between his hands and turned it gently. "If I don't realize it, I I have no idea about Secretary Shi. He looks like a teacher at first glance, but if he is knowledgeable, he may not be able to be a good leader of our Daqing. " "Secretary Chen, Secretary Shi's appointment was decided at the county party committee meeting. We have to do it. I believe the decision of the county committee and government is correct." Du Yan didn't want to get too entangled in this matter. Whether Shi Changgeng was cooperating with him or stumbling upon him, Du Yan didn't care too much. What he really cares about is if he can get a share of the development of the inter-provincial economic bridge project that will affect the entire Taihua and even the entire inland economic development in the near future! In the previous life, because of Li Peizheng's short-sightedness and the short-sightedness of the Pinling County Committee, the hope of the excellent project of the cross-provincial economic bridge to be settled locally was because Pingling failed to identify the development direction in time at that time, and various supporting projects were extremely difficult. Falling behind and being taken away by neighboring counties. At that time, not many people really saw the huge potential of this project. Although some people simply saw the various benefits that road construction might bring to the local area, they did not know that this project was only for a few years later. It is just a small outpost of the country's western development strategy. In later generations, it was not until much later that there was a rumor that a high-level person involved in formulating the cross-provincial economic bridge project had intended to set the project address in Hexi Province in Pingling. However, after an inspection, he discovered that Neither Pingling nor the government departments of Taihua City clearly have any understanding of this modern economic fast-lane model. But a county under Linchi City, whose situation was similar to that of Taihua at that time, realized the need for new economic development in transportation and other urban construction very early. After repeated arguments, although the neighboring counties did not have any advantages over Pingling in some places, the inter-provincial economic bridge project in the Hexi Province section was finally settled in the county under Linchi City, and the straight line between that county and Pingling The distance is less than a hundred kilometers, and the distance to Daqing Township is only a few dozen miles! For Du Yan, such a result was unacceptable. Song Jiayi's arrival reminded him of the rumors he heard later. After some hard work, it was proved that Song Jiayi was probably the person who had a great influence on the settlement of the project. , this made Du Yan determined to find a way to have some influence on Song Jiayi. However, in addition to the previous encounter in Taihua and an in-depth conversation that attracted Song Jiayi's attention, Du Yan knew that this was not enough. What was more important was to let Song Jiayi see that it was possible in Daqing, Pingling, and even Taihua. will bring benefits. Because he knew that the reason Song Jiayi paid so much attention to this project must have his own interests in it. As long as Song Jiayi can pay attention to this place, Du Yan believes that the cross-provincial economic bridge project may not be settled in Pingling based on his previously revealed background. Therefore, Du Yan will never allow anyone to ruin his plan! "Let's do this, Secretary Chen. I know the boss of Liyuju in the county. Let's talk to him. If you ask someone to make a batch of wine using the best mountain fruits, I will design a label. Let's use Daqing Township's green fruit wine. How about going to the county seat?" Du Yan remembered that he had told Shen Hefu, the owner of Liyuju, about Qingguo wine. "The Carp House in the county town? That's a big restaurant. Can our country wine be good?" Chen Laogan asked with some disbelief. "Not only Liyuju, but also other restaurants in the county can promote it. Even the county's reception wine can be used. If you can't be the host wine, let's be the companion first. Speaking of which, let alone Pingling, there is no decent one in the whole of Taihua. Winery, everyone is still drinking Linchi's white wine, why is there no market for our own wine? If we really make it, we will not only go to Pingling, but also Taihua," Du Yan said with a smile. Chen Laogan nodded lightly as if he understood. He remembered that Mayor Xiao Du was the secretary next to the county party committee secretary a few days ago. Naturally, he had something to do with various places in the county. Thinking of this, Chen Laogan felt that Du What he said is quite reliable. "That's a good thing. Don't say it's too beautiful. If our local wine can be sold in the county, it will be a rare good thing in Daqing Township." Chen Laogan said and sighed, "Mayor Xiao Du Don¡¯t you know? A few years ago, after the household responsibility system was implemented, it was very difficult to?Life has been getting better, but it has changed again within a few years. What about withdrawals, apportionments, agricultural payments, labor payments, and disaster relief funds? I don¡¯t know which one is right. Do you still remember the last time you came here? At that time, did you encounter that Shuanzi who wanted to run out to do some work? In the end, the boy ran away without stopping him. All these strong laborers go to work outside. It is a sin to have the land at home abandoned and unable to pay the public grain. But you say that most of the young men can't support their families just by farming at home. How can they live at home if they don't go out? I was the secretary at that time, but I was also his uncle. Looking at Shuanzi, his younger sister, who was not even sixteen years old, was marrying someone else in order to marry her brother. It was either a matter of arrest or not. "Maybe because he drank some wine, Chen Laogan talked too much. Listening to him talking about the situation in Daqing Township, Du Yan also sighed helplessly. Du Yan knew that the burden of farmers at this time was heavy. It will be difficult for future generations to imagine that in order to complete the accumulation of industrial capital as quickly as possible on the existing basis, the country did not hesitate to use the output value of the countryside to ensure the acceleration of the industrialization process. The hardship of the rural living environment at this time is beyond the imagination of those who have experienced it. Unforgettable. Although Du Yan could understand Chen Laogong's complaint, he couldn't say anything. Even after many years, he still had no idea whether it was right or wrong. "We can't just rely on farming, and we can't just rely on side jobs. Just plant some fruit trees." Du Yan felt that it was necessary to explain his previous plans for Daqing Township to Chen Laogen. Although Chen Laogen was no longer the secretary, he still said the same thing in Daqing Township: "We are here. The soil quality is good. If the winery can grow in scale, we can plant a variety of fruits based on the needs of the winery. Moreover, we can directly contact the vegetable market in the county, reduce the intermediate links, and directly connect ourselves with the vegetable merchants to supply the goods. There are many ways to do it, said Secretary Lao Cheng. " "We deliver food to the city ourselves? Can this be done? Is there still a supply and marketing cooperative? " Chen Laogan asked hesitantly. "It's no wonder that Chen Laogan was hesitant. Although farmers can freely use their sideline products in addition to paying public grain, the method of centralized purchasing by local supply and marketing cooperatives in the countryside is still retained in many places, especially In the Mainland, supply and marketing cooperatives not only retain great power to purchase goods, but most farmers still believe in public sales. Private vegetable merchants were unable to develop for a long time. This phenomenon continued until the mid-1990s. With the development of the national economy. The focus has shifted to cities, and the burden on farmers has gradually been reduced. ¡°We can think about this later, but now that the sideline market is liberalized, public procurement is only one way, and who can make everyone earn. It is only natural that the money is sold to whomever it is sold to. " Du Yan also knew that it was impossible for Chen Laogan to figure out these things at once. He just used the simplest and clearest principles to let them gradually understand. As for how to do it, it depends on the specific situation. In fact Although these ideas are good, Du Yan secretly scratched his head when he thought about the funds needed to accomplish these things. "Well, let's scold him when we have time," Chen Laogeng said, seeing that Du Yan was a little tired. He stood up and said, "Let's do this, Mayor Xiao Du. You rest first while I go find Lao Zhai and ask him to prepare a place for you. You also know that there is no decent place in this town, so don't be dissatisfied." " As he said, Chen Laogan put down his cup and walked out the door. But after taking two steps, he turned back to Du Yan who was following behind and was about to see him off. "Speaking of which, Peng Jun was being coaxed in the town before you came. The mayor, but this time you are here, hahaha" Chen Laogan showed a meaningful smile to Du Yan, then turned around and opened the door and walked out. After closing the door, Chen Laogan thought for a while and left. After saying that, Du Yan immediately shook his head. It seems that it is not easy for anyone to be a cadre, no matter whether he is big or small. Du Yan woke up at dawn the next day. Maybe he just arrived in a new place and was still not used to it. It was still dark, but he couldn't lie down anymore. The house where Du Yan lived was on the right side of the town office yard. It was usually where the town cadres slept when they were on duty. When he came out of the house, he was a little surprised to see it. The director of the town office, Lao Zhai, saw Du Yan coming out and walked over with his hands in his sleeves: "Mayor, you got up so early. "Lao Zhai is a short and fat man. When he put his hands together again, Du Yan couldn't help but think of the pair of chubby big guys posted on the door during the New Year. "Director Zhai, weren't you earlier? "Du Yan greeted Lao Zhai with a smile. He knew Lao Zhai when he went to the countryside with Li Peizheng. Like all office directors, Lao Zhai is also a well-rounded boss, at least since he went to the town office early in the morning. This can be seen from the courtyard. Like many grassroots agencies, not only the Daqing Township Party Committee and the town government work together, but also the town People's Congress and the town CPPCC only have one door in each of the two bungalows next to the courtyard.??Inner and outer rooms. ????????? And Lao Zhai is also doing two errands of the town committee and the town government at the same time. Although strictly speaking it does not comply with the organizational regulations, it is something that the grassroots of the township cannot do anything about. "Director Zhai, where did Secretary Shi live yesterday?" Du Yan asked casually. He didn't mean to inquire, just out of necessity and polite concern. But when he asked this question, Du Yan noticed that Lao Zhai's eyes flickered, as if he had something inconvenient to say. But Lao Zhai spoke quickly: "Secretary Shi also drank too much yesterday and stayed at the Zai Lai Restaurant where we had dinner yesterday. There is also a hotel upstairs. Old Secretary, oh, Director Chen has already given instructions, I'll arrange a place for you and Secretary Shi today. I'll find two people who can move in later this afternoon. "Yes, yes. By the way, Mayor Du, do you think you need anything else? Tomorrow is Sunday and someone is going to the county town today. I will bring it to you by the way." Director Zhai asked with a hint of concern. "Tomorrow," Du Yan was slightly startled. He remembered that Su Qian should be back tomorrow. He was supposed to pick her up, but unexpectedly she suddenly came to Daqing Township. "Well, I'll go back with the car after get off work this afternoon." When you go to the county, pack up what you need to bring so that you don¡¯t bother others.¡± Hearing what Du Yan said, even though Lao Zhai said it wouldn¡¯t be troublesome, he didn¡¯t say it again. Whether it was Du Yan or Shi Changgeng, their speeches at the appointment meeting yesterday showed unexpectedly strong attitudes. The cadres in Daqing Township were not familiar with these two people who showed a tit-for-tat attitude just after taking office. Although Chen Laojie showed that he was closer to Du Yan, as Shi Changgeng stayed at Zai Lai Restaurant the night before, people couldn't help but speculate endlessly about who will be the real leader of Daqing Township in the future. It was during lunch that Du Yan realized why Lao Zhai had that look on his face when he mentioned that Shi Changgeng lived at Zai Lai Restaurant. This Zai Lai Restaurant was originally owned by the wife of Deputy Secretary Peng Jun. Looking at Shi Changgeng and Peng Jun toasting each other at the dinner table, and then remembering that Chen Laojie mentioned that he was the one who failed Peng Jun as mayor, Du Yan knew that he had already developed a grudge against him just after he took office. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Winter Night Passion The first day was easy, or there was nothing to do at all. In the afternoon, Lao Zhai brought a young man. Lao Zhai introduced him as Chen Siyou. He was a semi-off-duty clerk in the town. After careful inquiry, he turned out to be a grandnephew of Chen Laogan's clan, which is quite popular in grassroots organizations. Ordinary things. In many places, there were originally big families with the same surname. Over the years, even those with foreign surnames were related to each other, so it was not too much for Chen Laogan to use his grandnephew as a clerk. Chen Siyou was very smart and quickly helped Du Yan tidy up a room prepared for him behind the town office. Seeing his nimbleness, Du Yan couldn't help but think of the two people he had seen when he came here before. A young man who went out to work and was intercepted by Chen Laojiang on the way back. I remember one of them was named Shuanzi. Hearing Du Yan mention Shuanzi, Chen Siyou shook his head: "That kid sounds smarter than me, but he just can't bear the pain. The second grandfather almost broke his legs last time, but he still ran away. In fact, he just killed him." There's no point in staying, that kid's mind is not in the field. " Du Yan nodded slightly and said nothing. At this time, the sufferings of the domestic farmers were beyond his control. The only thing that can be done is to try to change the current situation of Daqing Township. Seeing that Du Yan was not in high spirits, Chen Siyou just kept busy with his work. When he saw that everything was done, he wisely left. The days in winter are very short, and by about four o'clock the sky was already dark. After packing his things, Du Yan went to the next room to say hello to Shi Changgeng who was busy at work, and left the town office. The transportation at this time was very inconvenient. There were only two buses from Daqing Township to the county seat every day. Sitting in a crowded bus and swaying along the dark road, Du Yan was thinking about how to apply to the county. Allocate money to build roads. It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when the bus arrived at the county station. After getting off the bus, Du Yan inquired in the station duty room that the long-distance bus from Taihua had not arrived yet, so he ordered a bowl of noodles from a nearby small restaurant. Eat slowly and wait. The owner of the restaurant has walked over several times, and his face has become uglier every time. Just when the owner has almost lost his patience even if he has not yet driven people away, with a dazzling light flashing outside, from The long-distance bus from Taihua to the county town finally entered the bus station. Du Yan walked out of the restaurant and looked at the passengers coming off the station under the lights from a distance. When he saw Su Qian wearing a brand new red down jacket, Du Yan smiled. From a distance, Su Qian standing under the lamp is obviously different from two months ago. Her hair has been trimmed into the kind of fashionable short hair that is very popular among urban women at this time. The slightly curved hair tips look pretty and beautiful. Without losing her dignity, although the red down jacket covered up her proud figure, a pair of dark brown half-height boots made her legs slender and beautiful. Su Qian refused the invitation of several companions to go home together and stood there looking around, looking like a vigilant deer on the grassland. "Qianqian." When she was very close, Du Yan called out softly. Su Qian immediately turned around and saw Du Yan standing behind her. She first showed a trace of annoyance, and then extended her hand to Du Yan. hands. Then her body was hugged tightly by Du Yan. They held hands and walked silently on the streets of the county town. Neither of them spoke, but whenever he turned his head, Du Yan could see Su Qian's gentle eyes looking at him. "Take me home?" Su Qian said softly, her face a little feverish. She didn't expect that Du Yan actually hugged her in front of others, and the hug was so tight that her breathing All a little rushed. "Let's not go home yet." Du Yan had a naughty smile on his face. He took Su Qian on the bus, but the direction was exactly opposite to Su Qian's home. Su Qian didn't understand at first, but when they got off the bus at Du Yan's original dormitory, looking at the evil expression on Du Yan's face, Su Qian understood, but her face became even redder. Du Yan hasn¡¯t handed over the key to his dormitory in the county yet, so he has to take care of this matter when he returns to the city this time. Although these are small things, Du Yan knows that often the more trivial things are, the more likely they are to be caught by others. The room was very cold. Su Qian fumbled for the light switch on the wall, but Du Yan gently held her hand. The night was already dark, and the lights of cars passing by on the street in the distance shone in from the window. For a moment, it seemed that the world outside was completely different from the world inside the house. The car lights that kept flashing outside the window cast a bright light in the dim room, shining on the two people leaning against the wall, casting their shadows very long. Du Yan looked at Su Qian's eyes seriously. In the alternating light and shadow, Su Qian's eyes shone like smart cat eyes. When she justWhen she spoke, a faint puff of breath came out of her mouth, making her lips seem to be hidden in a light mist. Du Yan's lips kissed her through the light mist. When he felt the warmth from those lips, his hands slowly opened the zipper of Su Qian's down jacket, revealing the perfect set of Su Qian's slender breasts. Stretch shirt with full waist and chest. When he caressed the two soft peaks through his clothes, Du Yan could feel Su Qian's body shaking slightly. Although they had done such intimate things before, there was an indescribable ambiguity in this situation. In the darkness, both of them could feel that something was about to happen. The flashing car lights outside the window were still flashing by, but Su Qian could no longer care about it. When Du Yan stretched out her elastic shirt from her pocket and put her hand in along the hem of her clothes, she followed Du Yan's movements. The movements of his hands on her body became more and more intense. She didn't know when her body had become hotter and hotter, and she no longer even cared about the coldness in the room. Su Qian didn't remember when Du Yan hugged her and put her on the bed. She only remembered that when Du Yan kissed her growing body, every kiss made her feel as if it was triggering the mass in her body. The inexplicable flames became hotter and hotter as Du Yan's lips predatorily left marks everywhere on her body. "Will you always be good to me?" When the critical moment was about to come, Su Qian looked at the face only a few inches away from her in the dark. Although she knew the answer, she still felt something that she couldn't explain. worry. "Yes, we will be together in the last life, this life, and the next life. I will not let you leave me." Du Yan replied softly. He knew that Su Qian would never understand what this sentence means to him. Such a meaning, just like now he can't even tell whether everything the "him" experienced before has really happened, or whether it is just like the lights that keep flashing in this room, just a glimpse. An illusion. Seeing Du Yan suddenly looking a little disappointed, as if he was afraid of disappearing, Su Qian's heart ached inexplicably. She held Du Yan's neck tightly with both hands, bringing him closer to her, and then closed her eyes, feeling extremely shy. He whispered in Du Yan's ear: "I'm right here, I'm yours." These words undoubtedly became the last drop of hot oil that completely burned the already extremely hot fire in my heart. I felt Su Qian in my arms. The huge temptation brought by the smooth and beautiful body, Du Yan could not restrain himself and buried his hot ** into her body! For a moment, the originally cold and dark room turned into the sweetest world. Under the alternating light and shadow outside the window, the two entwined bodies also transformed into enchanting phantoms in the light and shadow of the room. Su Qian was completely immersed in the passion that Du Yan had brought to her that she had never experienced before. In the joy of a day, she could feel Du Yan's seemingly repressed but extremely loving passion. She didn¡¯t know that this was the tenderness hidden in Du Yan¡¯s heart for two lifetimes, and she didn¡¯t know that for Du Yan, this moment was not only their physical union, but also the destiny of two lifetimes! The two of them couldn't help but linger together. Although Su Qian had to try her best to suppress the sounds due to the wonderful feeling coming from her body because she heard that the sound insulation of the house was not good, the low moans in her ears in the dark were more like saying "no". out of temptation. For Du Yan, although the love between two lives made him extremely familiar with Su Qian's body, he soon became addicted to the enchanting tenderness of the girl under him, until he completely climbed into joy with the final passion. of the peak. "I'm already yours," Su Qian whispered in Du Yan's ear when the passion slowly disappeared and the two hugged each other and looked at each other, "But don't forget that you are mine too." "Of course I am yours, Could it be someone else's?" Du Yan smiled softly, but soon a girl's figure flashed in his mind. Even though it was so vague, it was impossible for that girl to become Su Qian's love rival at this time, but Du Yan still couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt in his heart. In later generations, did Su Qian really not know about Han Bing? Or is she just pretending not to know? Du Yan, who felt a slight pain in his heart when he thought of this, lowered his head and kissed Su Qian, whose forehead was wet from the previous passion. "Don't worry, our life will be perfect in the future. No one will disturb us, and I won't let others disturb us." Du Yan said to Su Qian as if to comfort or remind himself. Since you have come back and your destiny has changed dramatically, let everything change with the changes. You are very happy now, so there is no need to destroy this happiness. Since the happiness you have now is hard-won, you should cherish it and forget everything you should forget. As for Han Bing, as his destiny changes,?Maybe there will be no chance to meet again in this life. As if seeing the figure in the dream gradually fading away, Du Yan hugged Su Qian's warm and tender body tightly in his arms. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Bad Luck The next morning, before dawn, Du Yan and Su Qian got up and left the dormitory quietly. Because it was Sunday, there were few people on the street. Su Qian, who was shivering slightly because of the cold when walking on the road, originally expected to be as normal as usual. She leaned closer to Du Yan, but immediately moved away as if she was afraid of being seen. Under the moonlight in the sky, you could see a blush on her cheeks, which would appear every time she looked at Du Yan. Shy. There was no sign of the early train on the street yet, so Du Yan only had to walk slowly on the road with Su Qian. When they came to a street not far from Su Qian's home, Su Qian refused to let Du Yan continue sending them off. "No, you can just send it here." Seeing that Du Yan still insisted, Su Qian shook her head vigorously, and at the same time buried her face in Du Yan's chest and whispered, "You can't go any further, if you let people see I would die of embarrassment when we get together so early. " "Isn't it better to let your mother know that I have cooked you well, so that I won't marry you to anyone else. " " Half joking and half serious, he said that even though it had only been a few days, he already knew that Gu Weifen had some opinions on his sudden move to become the mayor of Daqing Township. Although they hadn't met, Du Fei said that she had gone to his home to inquire about the news. Based on Du Yan's understanding of Gu Weifen and his wife, he knew that things between him and Su Qian might have twists and turns due to his work. This is also the reason why he decided to make rice with Su Qian as soon as possible. At least this way, Gu Weifen would not be able to interfere with it anymore. After all, this era is different from twenty years later. After having a relationship, the two of them can be said to be almost the same. It's a done deal. "You are so disgusting." Su Qian's face turned red and she covered her face with her hands. However, although her face was hot, she felt indescribably at ease in her heart. Like Du Yan, she was also worried about her mother. She would cause trouble between herself and Du Yan again. When she thought that she might have to confess to her mother what happened between her and Du Yan, Su Qian's heart beat faster but she felt vaguely relieved. "Okay, go back quickly, it won't be good if people see it." In fact, as long as he can guarantee that Gu Weifen will not interfere with it, Du Yan does not want to be forced by his mother-in-law to get married so soon. After all, he has just arrived in college. Qing, many things haven't started yet, and there are still a lot of troubles. "Go back and have a good sleep. I'll find you in the afternoon." Hearing Du Yan's words, Su Qian's face turned red again. Du Yan kept talking all night long. Before leaving the former dormitory, she still pestered Su Qian to possess her once, so that when she mentioned resting, Su Qian felt that her body was still sore. Du Yan watched from a distance until Su Qian disappeared downstairs, then turned around and left. The towering tower crane of the old heavy machinery factory in the distance looks like the looming fairy mountain in the morning in the thick fog in the morning. However, in reality, the huge crane standing there alone has stopped working, but it is not so beautiful. That tower crane is like a monument, testifying to the past glory of the old heavy machinery factory and commemorating its current decline. The fog is still very heavy, and the snow on the road that has not melted in the past few days has formed a thin layer of ice that is not thick but very hard. People may slip if they are not careful when walking on it. As Du Yan walked on the road, he accidentally saw a long hair on his collar, and couldn't help but recall the sweet scene with Su Qian before. A harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground suddenly broke the tranquility of the early morning. Just when Du Yan had not thought about what the sudden sound was about, with the flash of two bright lights, a car suddenly rushed out of the fog. come out! The sudden appearance of a car in front of him made Du Yan stop immediately. The car on the opposite side obviously saw him swaying back and forth, and the driver seemed to want to avoid him. But the driver was obviously not familiar with the environment around the old heavy machinery factory. He didn¡¯t know that the road surface looked flat, but actually had quite a slope, and because the road was icy, it was easy to miss the mark at the corners. Du Yan saw the car flash on the icy road, the wheels sliding sideways in a diagonal line, and with a loud "crash", the car finally stopped not far in front of him! Or to be more precise, it hit a landmark and stopped. Du Yan looked at the Audi car that suddenly appeared in front of him in astonishment. As the door opened, a figure suddenly got out of the car. "What's wrong with you? You don't look in front of you when you're walking?" As the man scolded and lifted the fluffy hat of his down jacket, Du Yan was surprised to find that this person had quite a bad temper. Even if he was driving a car at this time, It is also rare in Taihua City that the owner of an Audi car is actually a young girl. This girl should be pretty good-looking, but because of her angry look, she doesn't look so likable.   Listening to the girl scolding him when he came up, Du Yan was a little unhappy. He looked at the Audi, which seemed to have someone sitting in the back seat, frowned and said coldly: "You probably didn't pay attention to the person in front of you, and You were driving too fast in this weather." "You almost got us into trouble!" The girl stepped forward angrily. "Xiaoyun, come back." A faint voice came from the car. Although it was already getting bright at this time, because the light in the car was dim, Du Yan could only tell from the voice that there was also a young man sitting in the car. woman. The girl seemed to listen to the words of the people in the car. She gave Du Yan a hard look, then leaned into the car and seemed to say something. After a while, she turned back and glared at Du Yan again, and said, "It's easy for you." Got it!" Then he got into the car and started it again. With the sound of wheels on the ground, the Audi re-entered the road and passed by Du Yan under the gaze of the people who had gathered around. When the Audi passed by Du Yan, he instinctively glanced at the car. In a flash, he seemed to see a lonely figure in the back seat of the Audi. Because of this delay, everyone in the family was already up when I got home. Seeing her son come home, Sang Shulan immediately kept asking questions. Although Du Zhenhai was not like his wife, it was obvious that he was very happy. But after Du Fei was happy at first, her expression became strange. She seemed to have noticed something and just stood aside and looked at Du Yan carefully. This made Du Yan feel guilty for a while. "What are you looking at? I don't recognize your brother anymore?" Du Yan asked deliberately nonchalantly. He originally wanted to touch his sister's head, but he took it back inexplicably. "It's not that we don't know each other, it's just that brother, why did you come back this morning? There is no bus from Daqing Township to the county seat so early, right?" Du Fei's first question made Du Yan a little confused, but what she said next made him even more confused. Du Yan couldn't resist: "By the way, didn't you say that Su Qian should have come back last night and you were going to pick her up at the station?" Looking at Du Fei's eyes that seemed to see through something, Du Yan already thought about the fast driver in his heart. The 250-year-old female driver scolded the driver for being incompetent. If the woman hadn't wasted his time on the way, he could have sneaked home before his family got up, and then used the excuse of being delayed on the road to arrive home in the middle of the night without waking his family. But now there are no excuses. "Xiao Fei went to the kitchen to get breakfast for your brother. Your brother just came back and was still tired. What are you asking?" Sang Shulan scolded her pouting daughter and went to the kitchen, watching her son take advantage of the situation and go back to his room. She went to pack her things and leave immediately. She couldn't help but see a hint of concern on her husband's face. "Zhenhai, you said Xiaoyan last night" Sang Shulan, who finally spoke after holding back for a while, looked at her son's room and whispered. "The children are now the mayor, so let's not worry about some things." Du Zhenhai took a bite of the fried dough stick and suddenly whispered, "We were like this back then. Your courage at that time was no worse than that of the young man now." "Go." Yours, I know my son will not learn from you," Sang Shulan blushed and cursed in a low voice, but then she said with some worry, "I'm just afraid of Su Qian's mother, you don't know Gu Weifen yet. "If she really gets into trouble, it would be bad for Xiaoyan if word spread. After all, he is now the leader, and this style issue is a big deal." "What style issue? Our son and his daughter are in a serious relationship. This is a love affair." Who doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s going on?¡± Du Zhenhai said with a nonchalant smile, ¡°If it really gets serious, it might be better to just propose marriage to the children and take care of things. I think Su Qian is not a bad kid. "It's better to do it later than to do it early. After all, it's our daughter-in-law." "It's really ugly to do it early and late," Sang Shulan glared at her husband and then smiled proudly, "That's right, Gu Weifen just doesn't want to do it when the time comes. There is no other way. Speaking of which, our Xiaoyan is still capable. " "You, just spoil your son." Looking at the proud smile on Sang Shulan's face, Du Zhenhai couldn't hide the smile on his face even though he shook his head helplessly. "That's right. Xiaoyan is only twenty-three years old during the Chinese New Year, so he's already a legitimate student. My son, Du Zhenhai, is just extraordinary." While Du Zhenhai and his wife were discussing their son's affairs in the main room, Du Yan was packing things in his room. He knew he wouldn't be back soon if he went down this time, so he was prepared for the long term. In addition to some clothes, Du Yan mostly packed up a batch of information books that he had bought in Taihua City. Du Yan knows that in the eyes of some people, if he becomes the mayor this time, he may sink and it will be impossible to return to Pingling. It is precisely because of this reason??, while he was still recovering in the hospital, Ding Bingxian had a detailed talk with him alone. " Many people initially opposed Du Yan's decision to move to Daqing Township to serve as mayor. Even Tu Xiangdong, who had been supporting Li Peizheng since he expressed his position, also expressed different views. For many people, Li Peizheng appointed Du Yan as the mayor of Daqing Township in order to repay Du Yan's kindness in saving his life. But whether it was from the perspective of repaying Du Yan or considering work, such a decision obviously seemed inappropriate. In many eyes, if Li Peizheng really wants to repay Du Yan for promoting him, he should naturally let Du Yan stay by his side. Given the time and a few more years of experience, once Li Peizheng continues to progress to the city, even if he does not follow the rising tide, he can let him go. It makes sense to go to Pingling County and serve as the executive deputy bureau of one of the following bureaus. But Li Peizheng just put Du Yan in Daqing Township. Of course everyone knows where Daqing Township is, so people who don't know the situation will naturally not regard this appointment as a promotion, and may even have the impression that Li Peizheng is unkind and unkind. After all, there is someone who saved him all day long. It is always uncomfortable to have one's own people dangling in front of them, as if reminding themselves that they owe others a favor at any time, not to mention a powerful figure like Li Peizheng who is in charge of the government and holds real power. Naturally, he cannot accept this. situation. Because of this, Ding Bingxian was a little worried about Du Yan's overthinking when he proposed to Du Yan that he should be appointed as the mayor of Daqing Township. After all, if Du Yan and Li Peizheng are at odds with each other, it will be a huge blow to Li Peizheng's reputation. Although reputation often seems to have no practical significance, Ding Bingxian, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, knows that in many cases, if a person gives others the impression of being unkind and unkind, then he will be criticized both in the circle of opponents and in his own circle. Often it will have many unexpected impacts down the road. But now Li Peizheng just lacks enough new people to be qualified for this responsibility. More importantly, both Li Peizheng and Ding Bingxian know that Du Yan has conducted in-depth research on Daqing Township and even the entire three towns northeast of Pingling. , it seems that from the beginning, his attention has been fixed on that place. Because of this, when Ding Bingxian first asked him to go to Daqing Township, Du Yan readily agreed despite knowing the upcoming difficulties. "Brother, you still bring so many books." When Du Fei walked into Du Yan's room, he looked at a huge backpack on the bed and frowned. "Do you really want to stay in Daqing Township? Aren't you afraid of Su Qian?" Mom regrets it again? She can't agree to go to Daqing Township with Su Qian. "I'm marrying Su Qian, not her mother, as long as Su Qian is willing," Du Yan smiled nonchalantly. Seeing Sophie's inquiring look again, he turned his head guiltily and continued to pack his things. Sophie looked at Du Yan who was busy. Although she always felt something was strange, she couldn't think of any difference. Thinking that her brother had less time to see each other after he left, she couldn't help but lose interest. Du Yan, who had been busy at home all morning and finally had some time after lunch, said he was about to go out. However, Du Fei suddenly lost his temper and said that it was rare for Du Yan to go home and she insisted on going out with him. go out. Being annoyed by Sophie, Du Yan had no choice but to lead Sophie out of the house with a cold face. When Du Yan thought about dating his girlfriend and taking his sister with him, Du Yan felt that the color of his life suddenly became much darker. When he met Su Qian at an arranged place in the downtown area of ??the county town, and looked at the gloomy-looking Gu Weifen next to Su, Du Yan felt that he had been in bad luck since the conflict with the girl driving the Audi in the morning. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Famous Lines Listen in Advance What was originally a sweet date eventually turned into a torture that made everyone uncomfortable because of the appearance of Gu Weifen and Du Fei. In addition to the fact that the opportunity to get close was gone, the two pairs of eyes next to them that were always monitoring and probing also made the two of them indescribably uncomfortable. Whether it was Du Fei's purely female intuition or Gu Weifen's experience as a person who had been there, they all vaguely guessed what seemed to have happened between the two people. This made Du Fei, who was already displeased with Su Qian, not only have a long face, but also deliberately squeezed in beside his brother during the meal because he couldn't reach the plate, making Du Yan feel sorry for himself. Looking at the "opponent", it seems to be declaring some kind of sovereignty that can only belong to oneself. Gu Weifen, who was sitting across the table, was even more unambiguous. Her radar-like eyes monitored every word and deed between her daughter and Du Yan. However, although Su Qian found an excuse that the long-distance bus was late, and Gu Weifen She also had a premonition from her daughter's expression, but when she thought that this kind of thing was related to her daughter's reputation, although she was already furious, she couldn't completely break through the window paper. So the situation became unspeakably awkward, and even after having to end the obscene date early, Gu Weifen did not find a suitable opportunity to find out what happened. But when she walked far away and saw her daughter looking back from time to time, Gu Weifen sighed. Su Qian, who had a ghost in her heart, couldn't help but jump because her mother suddenly sighed. She glanced at her mother timidly, and saw Gu Weifen's eyes looking at her with deep meaning. Su Qian's face turned red at first, and then she finally endured it. He couldn't help but bury his face in his hands. Gu Weifen, who could no longer see anything and finally knew what was going on, turned red instantly. She turned around and was about to chase the little bastard who had just made her a cheap mother-in-law. But when she saw her daughter, she immediately raised her head, her eyes full of speechlessness. After pleading, Gu Weifen hesitated for a long time and finally sighed helplessly. "Qianqian, you are old, and mom can't control you anymore, as long as you don't regret it in the future." Gu Weifen sighed. "No, Mom, Du Yan is very good to me, I trust him." Speaking of Du Yan, Su Qian's original cowardice immediately disappeared. Looking at the direction in which Du Yan's brother and sister disappeared, Su Qian said affirmatively. "Hey, this is the only way," Gu Weifen, knowing that everything was irreversible, walked back helplessly, but just after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and stared at her daughter alertly, "What are you doing at that time? Are there any measures? " "Measures? Mom, tell me" Su Qian was stunned at first, and then her face turned red. "Mom, what are you talking about?" "This boy from the Du family has no good intentions!" Yeah!" Gu Weifen suddenly understood and jumped up to yell, but finally thought that this was really not a glorious thing, so she could only grit her teeth and mutter in a low voice, "This guy is sincere and wants to make things happen. Forcing me to agree to your marriage, the old Du family really gave birth to a promising son!" After separating from Su Qian and his daughter, Du Yan ignored Du Fei who was hugging his arm next to him and wandered around in the street boredly. step. "Brother, are you angry?" Du Fei asked in a low voice. Seeing that Du Yan ignored her, she pushed Du Yan's arms into her arms and hugged her. "Brother, are you really angry?" Although it was winter, the girl The outline of the chest, which had begun to take shape, could still be felt. He found that the entire arm was deeply sunk into the soft and slightly sunken curve in the middle of Du Fei's down jacket. Du Yan immediately felt uncomfortable and wanted to withdraw his arm. But this naturally caused friction. Du Fei couldn't help but groan as Du Yan's arm moved, but she didn't let go. Instead, she hugged Du Yan's arm harder to prevent his arm from rubbing against her chest. ¡°Brother, you are so bad, I will tell mom when I get home.¡± Du Fei whispered, but a smile flashed in his eyes. A layer of sweat immediately broke out on Du Yan's forehead. He looked down awkwardly at Du Fei, who had his cheek pressed against his side. Then he saw the strange looks from passers-by. He even heard an elderly man not far away. The old man muttered something like "these young people these days", and Du Yan wanted to explain a few words, but he couldn't open his mouth. Seeing her brother's embarrassed expression, Du Fei's beautiful eyes almost turned into crescents. She just liked this feeling of misunderstanding. Only at this time could she truly imagine that she and her brother were not brother and sister, but couple. In fact, Du Yan could vaguely guess Du Fei's thoughts, so he hurriedly took Du Fei away. When he saw a small store that looked like it had just opened, he said: "Go buy something, I will do it tomorrow." Take it away." Regardless of whether Du Fei wanted to or not, he pulled her in and hurriedly walked in. Because he was in a hurry to get in, he neither heard Du Fei¡¯s admiration of ¡°Brother, look, what a beautiful car.¡±Two people walked out of the thick curtain of a small shop. As he opened the door curtain and took a step in, Du Yan suddenly felt as if his body had hit a soft wall with a "bang"! Du Yan's body fell backwards, but the moment the rolled-up door curtain fell, he saw the pretty figure inside who also fell backwards, but was obviously much worse than himself! But the worst thing was that when the door curtain fell, a rather eye-catching bag rolled over from the gap at the hem of the door curtain. Du Yan knew that it should have fallen out of the bag of the person who was hit on the opposite side. Then, before Du Yan woke up, the door curtain was forcefully thrown open, and a young girl with a red face rushed out. She first bent down and quickly picked up the pack of sanitary napkins, and at the same time asked Du Yan a familiar question: "Why are you walking without looking in front of you?" Then, both of them looked at each other in astonishment and asked unexpectedly: "It's you again!" Du Yan never expected to encounter such a person twice in one day. Looking at this girl who was neatly dressed in a short leather jacket, jeans, and sneakers that was rare in this era, Du Yan felt for the first time that Pingling County was indeed too small. "It was you both times. What do you want to do?" The girl stood at the door of the store with a serious face and a vigilant look in her eyes. What made Du Yan notice was that her body was slightly sideways and her arms were slightly bent seemingly inadvertently. Her action told Du Yan, who had some experience in fighting, that this was a very typical defensive posture. "Brother, do you know her?" Du Fei looked at her brother in confusion. In her impression, he didn't seem to know any other girl except Su Qian. "I met her this morning. I was almost hit by her car." Du Yan said lightly. Only then did he remember Du Fei's words before. He instinctively looked back at the roadside. It was not that rare car. It's an Audi, and even the obvious scratches on the side of the car are clearly visible. "Her car almost hit you?" Du Fei, who was originally just looking confused, suddenly changed her face. She took a step forward and looked at the girl angrily, "What are you doing? You almost hit someone and you are so fierce?" Girl Although she was a little surprised by Du Fei's appearance, she just stared at Du Yan, and the alertness in her eyes did not seem to be due to two accidental conflicts, but real vigilance. "You're lucky because you scratched our car this morning and didn't settle the score. I'll meet someone good-looking like you again." The girl warned Du Fei without even looking at Du Yan. Du Fei, who was completely ignored, was in a daze for a moment, but she was even more angry that the other party dared to talk like this to her brother who she thought was incomparable to anyone. For a moment, she turned angrily and walked a few steps to the Audi, while fiercely He raised his leg and kicked the scarred Audi door. He shouted something to the girl that made Du Yan almost fall over: "Scraping your broken car is nothing. Do you know who my brother is?" Listen. Du Yan couldn't help but laugh at these words, which were repeated countless times by various second-generation people twenty years later, and he even began to wonder if he had failed in educating his sister. What Du Fei said caused the girl to show contempt. Just when she was about to speak, the Audi car door suddenly opened with a "bang bang" sound kicked by Du Fei. A slender figure bent slightly and then straightened up and walked out of the Audi. Although he was just standing like that, both Du Fei and Du Yan standing in front of the car couldn't help but smile slightly when they saw the young woman getting out of the car. Somewhat absent-minded. Even if you just stand and don¡¯t speak, it may be a natural feeling of alienation. It seemed that although she was right in front of me, she was far away. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Xingxing" Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Lessons and Instructions It was a distance that seemed to come naturally out of habit, or a natural indifference. Even the light gray coat this woman is wearing gives people a cold feeling. "Xiaoyun, it's just a misunderstanding," the young woman told the girl who became more vigilant but immediately fell silent after she appeared. Then she turned her head slightly to look at the car door across from her, looking a little absent-mindedly. Her Du Fei, because her hair was neatly tied on top of her head, when she turned her head, Du Yan even thought he could see the veins floating on her snow-white neck. "My little sister is quite angry." "I " Du Fei looked at the young beauty in front of her at a loss. She never expected that what came out of the car would be such a beautiful woman who would make any woman lose her mind. Looking at her decent clothes and exquisite sculptures, With a similar appearance, and listening to her plain but implicitly accusatory words, the words Du Fei originally wanted to say to save face inexplicably turned into: "Sister, you are so beautiful!" The young beauty seemed to be also because of Du Fei Fei's words were a bit unexpected. She seemed stunned, and then she showed a faint smile, which seemed to make the coldness go away a little: "My little sister is also very beautiful, and she will be even more beautiful in the future." She turned around as she said that , but when she looked at Du Yan, her eyes became cold again: "Your sister should still go to school. She is young and not sensible. As an elder brother, you must learn to be a good example and not lead a bad example." She." Du Yan suddenly became speechless. It was not because this woman was so beautiful, but because he really didn't expect to meet such a woman who liked to teach others. He wouldn¡¯t be surprised if this woman asked him to pay for the car, but she actually lectured him for not taking care of his sister, which really surprised Du Yan! But when Du Yan saw her expression, her expression changed in the eyes of the young beauty and the girl named Xiaoyun. Even Du Fei felt a knot in her heart after seeing it. She didn't know what her thoughts were, but she suddenly walked over. He grabbed Du Yan's arm and said fiercely as if to demonstrate: "We are not brothers and sisters!" The young beauty was stunned. She looked suspiciously at Du Fei's obviously childish face, and then at Du Yan. , a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. She ignored the two people in front of her and turned around and got into the car. The girl named Xiaoyun glared at Du Yan again and quickly got into the car. Looking at the Audi that was driving away, Du Yan was slightly lost in thought. He couldn't help but admit that the young beauty who had just flashed away had a great impact on him. He never expected to meet such an unexpectedly beautiful woman in Pingling. Although her actual age could not be seen, among the women Du Yan knew, no one could compare with this woman. Su Qian may not be worse than that woman in terms of appearance, but when it comes to temperament, she doesn't have that unique charm of a mature woman. What's more important is that kind of indifference that Du Yan can't describe, but always seems to show through. There was a faint aura of loneliness, which made Du Yan feel a little sad for a moment when he thought that he would never see him again in the future. Du Yan's arm suddenly tightened while he was thinking about it. He turned around and saw Du Fei's angry face. He remembered that she had kicked someone's car door and said the famous line that would be typical of asking for a beating twenty years later. Du Yan I feel that I really need to find time to educate my younger sister. But now Du Yan really doesn't have time to teach his sister an ideological and moral lesson to correct her outlook on life. He is anxious to come back on Sunday not just to go home and pack things and cook Su Qian's meal, but more importantly, he wants to Visit Li Peizheng, and then have a good talk with Ding Bingxian. Before Du Yan officially took office in Daqing Township, Li Peizheng had already found a secretary in the county office on Du Yan's recommendation. Speaking of which, this personnel change was an advantage to Lao Yu, who was originally in the county office. Wu Shenzhong was transferred because he was involved in Feng Chao's fraudulent purchase case. Du Yan took over as deputy director of the county party committee office. Due to Du Yan's recommendation, Lao Yu became the actual person in charge of the county party committee office. This made this man who had been sitting there for many years The retired veteran was so happy that he couldn't sleep well for several days. But before his joy had passed, Du Yan was admitted to the hospital due to injuries sustained in Daqing Township. Then came the sudden personnel changes. Du Yan went to Daqing Township to become the mayor before he even took up the position of deputy director. In this way, Lao Yu became the natural first candidate to succeed Deputy Director Du Yan. Therefore, Lao Yu was grateful from the bottom of his heart for Du Yan, and Du Yan really needed someone he could trust in the county party committee office. Although both Li Peizheng and Ding Bingxian can be said to attach great importance to themselves, Du Yan also knows that in many cases, in addition to the trust of leaders above, relationships from below are also indispensable. It can be said that from this moment on, whether it was Wang Lianyi from the West Market Police Station or Lao Yu from the County Party Committee Office, Du Yan had alreadyI am willing to run my own small circle. It¡¯s just that today is too busy, and Du Yan really doesn¡¯t have time to hang out with them anymore. After sending away the unwilling Du Fei, Du Yan drove to Li Peizheng's house. Li Peizheng has moved out of the guest house and moved into a detached house in a residential area not far from the county government. Li Peizheng, who has gradually settled down and established himself, plans to bring his family members back home. Du Yan Before being transferred, the last thing he did for Li Peizheng was to make general arrangements for his wife's work and his son's schooling after he came over. Seeing Li Peizheng again, Du Yan felt that his mood was completely different from before. Although he was accustomed to making tea for Li Peizheng and putting it in front of him, Du Yan saw a trace of politeness in Li Peizheng's eyes that he had not seen before, or rather approval. "Secretary, is there anything else I need to do after I go to Daqing Township?" After taking a sip of tea, Du Yan asked directly without hiding it. He knew that since the snow collapse incident, not only could he be said to have completely become a member of Li Peizheng's circle, One of the most important figures in the story, he has formed some kind of personal relationship with Li Peizheng that he does not have with other people. In this way, he can show an appropriate lack of restraint in front of Li Peizheng, which can actually promote the already close relationship between the two. relation. "Xiao Yan, I'm really worried about you going down this time," Li Peizheng was also very frank. After Du Yan rescued him, he treated Du Yan as more than just a close subordinate. He privately called Du Yan " "Xiao Yan" instead of "Xiao Du" can be seen in "I admit that you have a stability that is rare among other young people, but you still lack a lot in terms of work experience and experience in working with other comrades, which will be useful to you in the future. It¡¯s very unfavorable to work.¡± After hearing Li Peizheng¡¯s words, Du Yan secretly wanted to laugh. He knew that no matter how close he was, Li Peizheng would not tell him directly that the so-called experience of working with other comrades he lacked was actually "struggle experience." "The so-called struggle that our party has often advocated for many years, although the name sounds nice, is actually nothing more than a struggle between individuals. It¡¯s just that Li Peizheng can point out such key issues so directly, which shows that he really doesn¡¯t regard himself as an outsider. "We must try our best to unite our comrades, and we must do our best to improve the living standards of the people in Daqing Township. I have no objection to young people having ambitions and ideals. Having political ambitions is not a bad thing. As long as we can do something practical for the masses, the bigger the ambition, the better." "Li Peizheng looked at Du Yan and said seriously, "Remember, as long as you do it correctly, if you have any difficulties, come to the county committee, and the county committee leaders will provide you with support from Daqing Township." "Thank you, Secretary Li," Du. Yan raised his voice and said cheerfully, what he was waiting for was this sentence: "Then I'm not polite, I'll make a request first." "You're too quick, kid. This is called kicking the nose in the face." Li Peizheng He looked at Du Yan with some surprise, and then laughed, "Okay, tell me what it is, as long as it's reasonable, I'll help you get through this back door." "That's it, Secretary Li, I wonder if the county can allocate part of the money, I I want to build roads in Daqingtong County. If conditions permit, there are also basic dirt roads from Shuangdui and Liuliji in Daqingtong" "Wait, wait, wait," Li Peizheng's expression slowly became serious. Do you know how much such a road you mentioned costs?" "I have calculated it," Du Yan immediately took out the things he had prepared. "We don't need a good road now. In fact, it is just a road that can accommodate larger vehicles. The low-grade traffic environment that can be successfully passed is enough. My goal is to tap into the economic potential of the three towns and use them together as soon as possible. Daqing Township alone cannot do it. " "Three towns?" Li Peizheng looked at Du Yan. "Xiaoyan, I didn't expect that your heart is really big." "Isn't this also the case after I went to do research with you last time and read the three-town survey that you asked me to compile? Did you think of it after the report?" Du Yan gave a small compliment. "I guess you have already had a general idea in this regard. I just made these things concrete." "I haven't been an official for two days, and I am good at flattery. Ah," Li Peizheng scolded with a smile, but he looked at the document again and nodded, "I'll go back and study it with Bing first, and make suggestions if it's feasible." "Thank you, Secretary Li!" Du Yan nodded happily. The biggest gain from this visit to Li Peizheng is this! After saying goodbye to Li Peizheng, Du Yan went to Ding Bingxian's house. Whether in the past life or in the present, Ding Bingxian holds an important position in Du Yan's mind. Du Yan has always regarded this man who has been immersed in officialdom for many years as his mentor. Meeting Ding Bingxian was another scene. Sitting on a wooden chair in the cold courtyard, Ding Bingxian justHe listened silently to Du Yan's introduction to his ideas. After listening, Ding Bingxian pondered for a moment and said to Du Yan: "Chinese people always say that you should be a good person before doing anything, which shows the difficulty of being a good person. But sometimes being too good at being a good person can lead to more losses than gains. The key is how to control the heat." Listening to Ding Bingxian's meaningful teachings, Du Yan nodded and silently took a sip of bitter tea. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Petitioning Households In the morning, when Du Yan woke up because of the lingering breath caressing his face, he saw Du Fei's face very close to him. Seeing that her brother was awake, Du Fei immediately moved her body back, and then she deliberately said loudly: "Brother, get up quickly, or you will miss the bus back to Daqing." Looking at her sister, she just looked away. Du Yan had a headache as he seemed to dare not look at him. He didn't know when Du Fei became like this. It seemed that since she entered high school, she had been acting so strange sometimes. This made Du Yan unable to become cautious. After all, he and Du Fei were not biological siblings. , if he hadn't paid much attention to this in his previous life, but after waking up from the dream, every time he thought about Du Fei being single and unmarried for the next few years, Du Yan couldn't help but have a strange feeling towards her. "Brother, why are you so dazed? Get up quickly." Du Fei urged. But from behind her came Sang Shulan's somewhat annoyed voice: "Xiao Fei, why did you go into your brother's house when you had nothing to do?" Upon hearing her mother's words, Du Fei's expression immediately became unnatural. "Mom, didn't you ask me to wake up my brother?" "Then I didn't let you enter your brother's room casually." Sang Shulan came over, grabbed Du Fei's arm and walked out, "Big girl's house You don't know how to avoid it. You are not allowed to enter your brother's house casually in the future, you know?" After saying that, Sang Shulan looked back at her son who was sitting on the bed in a daze, and then at her daughter who looked unhappy next to her. She felt a little helpless. 's sigh. ¡°As my daughter gets older, she has more thoughts on her mind. How can a mother not see this? Although Du Fei's current behavior may be just a girl's ignorant thoughts, she still needs to wake up as soon as possible and dispel her thoughts. After all, it seems that her son and Su Qian are inseparable. "But Du Fei doesn't seem to be very friendly to Su Qian. If this continues, the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law will not be good in the future, and it will be difficult for her son to be caught in the middle. Su Qian had just returned from studying and could rest at home for two days, but Du Yan no longer had time to accompany her. And he stayed in the county just a few days after taking office. It is estimated that there may be some bad rumors in Daqing Township. After all, the replacement of the first and second-ranking secretary and mayor at the same time has caused quite a stir in Daqing Township. . After having something to eat at home, Du Yan and Du Fei went out together when they saw that the time was almost up. They walked to the street and watched Du Fei, who looked back from time to time, finally get on Xiaokun's bicycle and ride in the direction of No. 1 Middle School. Du Yan He also got on the bus leading to the bus terminal. He had to catch the morning bus to Daqing Township. The traffic at this time was really inconvenient. When Du Yan arrived at the terminal, the bus to Daqing Township had not yet left the station compound. Some passengers with backpacks and baskets were waiting on the roadside, and it seemed they wanted to take this bus. Du Yan looked at his watch and saw that the bus would leave for at least half an hour. Naturally, he didn't want to wait outside in the cold weather. Remembering the small noodle shop opposite the bus station the day before yesterday, he crossed the street and walked in. There were a lot of people in the small noodle shop, probably all waiting for the bus. This could be seen from the ugly expression on the face of the noodle shop owner, and he seemed to recognize Du Yan. After Du Yan asked for a bowl of noodle soup, the boss's face changed. Smiled a little bit. However, after a violent coughing sound came, the boss frowned. He walked towards a table in the corner and shouted impatiently to a person huddled there: "Why are you still here? Go quickly." "Don't hinder my business!" "Boss, please help me, we will stay for a while, isn't it because the child has a fever? We will leave when the child is older," a woman's timid voice came from a few people away. , Du Yan saw a roundly-dressed woman holding a child in her arms, begging in a low voice to her boss. "Your child has a fever and a cold. You can catch it if you stay here. The customers have sent you away. I have to do business now," the boss said unhappily. "I'll make your child a bowl of hot ginger soup. You guys go outside and wait." Let's go." After saying that, the boss turned around and left. The woman holding the child wanted to say something else, but she looked up and saw Du Yan sitting not far away, and her expression changed after being stunned! Then she immediately walked towards the door with her child in her arms, seemingly forgetting the ginger soup promised by her boss. The woman's strange behavior attracted the attention of Du Yan, who didn't really care at first. He couldn¡¯t help but look at this woman, but he couldn¡¯t remember where he had seen her. With a gust of cold wind, a man walked in from outside the noodle shop. When he saw the woman who was about to go out, he scolded: "Xiaobao has a fever. Where are you going if you are not waiting in the house?" "He is old, let's go quickly." The woman is anxious She whispered to her husband, and then couldn't help but look back at Du Yan, and the man followed his woman's eyes and looked over., upon seeing it, his expression immediately changed, he grabbed his wife and turned around and left the noodle shop. This made Du Yan sure that the two men not only knew him, but were also scared for some reason. He immediately took out two dollars from his pocket, shouted to the boss, put it on the table, and followed out without even thinking about the change! As soon as he left the restaurant, he saw the couple standing outside the door. What he didn't expect was that what stood in front of them was the town office director Lao Zhai and a young man who looked very strong. Du Yan remembered , he is a small leader of the town's joint defense team. When Du Yan came out, he heard Lao Zhai scolding: "Dayuan, you two are determined to go against the town, aren't you?!" Seeing Du Yan, Lao Zhai said "ah" and was surprised. He shouted: "Mayor Du!" The faces of the couple were filled with despair. The woman holding the child simply said "Wow" and sat on the ground crying! People around him immediately looked over, and Du Yan frowned. "Director Zhai, what's going on?" Du Yan's voice was low but his tone was stern. "Mayor Du, this," Lao Zhai scratched his head a little. Hearing the woman's unstoppable wails, his face turned even darker. "Dayuan, take care of your family!" Shit!¡± The man named Dayuan roared, threw off the old military coat he was wearing, and stared at Du Yan angrily: ¡°You are the mayor anyway! It¡¯s just a matter of words if you want to keep us going. Tell me what to do with our family!" Du Yan looked at the angry man, and he could feel the depression and anger in his heart, but he was more frustrated and afraid. "Let's get out of here first. Don't you know how to pay attention to the impact?!" Du Yan glared at Director Zhai with an ugly face. He felt that this person was really ignorant. Hearing Du Yan's words, Director Zhai's face turned red. He winked at the joint defense team member next to him, and the two men immediately went up and persuaded the couple, and followed Du Yan to a nearby small hotel. At this time, the hotel management in the county town was not strict. Although the group of people behaved strangely, the boss just paid more attention and opened a room for them. Before entering the room, Du Yan remembered the name of the joint defense team member: "Your name is Guangyi, is it from the Chen family?" "Yes, Mayor Du, my name is Guangyi, and my father is Chen Daquan. You know me." The joint defense team member immediately showed a look of joy, knowing that the new mayor remembered his name, that was really a glorious thing. "Didn't we drink together before?" Du Yan nodded and took out the money from his pocket. "Guangyi, you go buy some cold medicine, and then go to the noodle shop across the street to get a bowl of brown sugar ginger water to keep the Dayuan family's children away from the cold. "Ah? Oh, I'll go right away!" Chen Guangyi nodded immediately after being stunned. "Du, Mayor Du, I bought the medicine myself." Chen Dayuan faltered. He didn't expect that the young mayor could still think about his child's cold, but when he thought about his current situation, this "Du Town Mayor" "Long" caused the good impression that had just arisen to disappear immediately. "Then go get a bowl of hot ginger water, take the medicine and check the situation. If it doesn't work, go to the hospital immediately." Du Yan said and took the lead into the room, motioned for a few people to sit down, looked at the couple, and said to Lao Zhai : "Director Zhai, please tell me the specific situation." Lao Zhai looked at Chen Dayuan and his wife and began to explain the whole story. After listening, Du Yan couldn't help but be silent. Chen Dayuan came to the county town to file a complaint! It turns out that Chen Dayuan was still a distant nephew of Chen Laogan, and Chen Guangyi, who went out to buy medicine, still called him "uncle" due to his seniority. The matter has something to do with Du Yanzhen. Chen Dayuan's eldest son works in a factory in the town. The results of the investigation into the previous snow collapse accident left many people helpless. Chen Dayuan's eldest son, Chen Guangcai, was in the factory at the time. Because of the heavy snow, the snow on the roof of the warehouse began to fall into the warehouse along the cracks. Because the warehouse stored previously dried fruits, they were most invisible. Chao, when he saw this Chen Guangcai wanted to go up the slope near the warehouse and sweep the snow on the roof. Who would have thought that maybe due to years of disrepair, or just a coincidence, the wooden planks on the roof of the house on the slope suddenly broke! The sudden vibration brought an unexpected surprise, because the lower layer suddenly lost its support, and the snow on the entire slope began to slide down, and accumulated more and more, and finally pressed directly towards the roof of the warehouse! Chen Guangyi fell into the warehouse after the wooden board broke. Fortunately, he fell on the high pile of goods, but then the roof collapsed and hit him underneath. When people came out from under the rubble, he fell into the warehouse. By the time he arrived, he was already unconscious."Guangcai has good intentions! But this is the result. No one cares about the child's injuries. He has been in the hospital for so many days, and the hospital said he owes them two thousand yuan. We can't even get the money by selling iron. Two thousand yuan! The town said he was responsible. If he hadn't been injured, he would have been sent to jail!" Chen Dayuan's wife looked at Du Yan while crying, with more and more hatred in her eyes. Heavy! Looking at his wife's words, an angry look appeared on Chen Dayuan's face, which had gradually calmed down. His clenched fists trembled slightly, and the eyes he looked at Du Yan became fierce! "We begged the town, begged our second uncle, but no one cared about us! The hospital said they would kick our Guangcai out if they had no money, but he still wanted to treat the disease!" Chen Dayuan's voice was trembling with anger. Before this, he had only In the eyes of honest people who know how to farm, the second uncle and the town leaders are like the sky, but now the sky seems to have collapsed. "So you're here to file a complaint?" Du Yan looked at Chen Dayuan, "Are you suing the town?" "I'm suing you too! It was you who told them not to care about my Guangcai family!" Chen Dayuan suddenly roared, his eyes red, Staring at Du Yan, "My Guangcai is a good boy. He has never done anything wrong to others! I want to file a complaint with the county! They say Secretary Li is Bao Qingtian, but we can't even enter the yard. I heard that we The one who sued was the new mayor, and they kicked us out! Some people also threatened us that if we sued Mayor Du, we would go to jail! Big local complaint! I want to ask, is there any room for reasoning, is there any room for us to survive?" Looking at Chen Dayuan's rough hands that couldn't help but tremble, Du Yan felt that his My heart trembled slightly. Looking at the rural couple in front of him who had encountered injustice and could only imagine that Bao Qingtian would come to uphold justice for them, Du Yan felt a little sad. Although he didn't know how they could think that he was forcing their family, from the fact that Lao Zhai frowned but didn't mean to interrupt, it seemed that what these two couples said was somewhat true. "Director Zhai, what's going on? How is the town handling Chen Guangcai's matter?" Hearing Du Yan's question, Lao Zhai showed a helpless smile. He glanced at the couple and pulled Du Yan. Walking aside: "Mayor Du, you don't know, this is Secretary Chen, oh, it's Director Chen's intention. Chen Guangcai was originally responsible for this accident. Besides," Lao Zhai glanced at Du Yan and continued, " Besides, you were seriously injured in this accident, and even Secretary Li was almost injured. Director Chen said that it would be a good idea not to pursue their family Guangcai for now, and they should put this aside. Jia Guangcai is a counter-revolutionary and saboteur, no matter how powerful he is," After hearing what Lao Zhai said, Du Yan was stunned at first, and then felt helpless. He never thought that the final reason for all the trouble would actually be himself. ¡°Just because the mayor of himself was injured, and just because a county party secretary was almost in danger, the cadres of Daqing Township completely abandoned this family that was in need of help and fell into despair from top to bottom! Du Yan could think of how Chen Dayuan and his family begged but were rejected in such a cold winter. He could also think of how desperate they were outside the county party committee compound! Du Yan felt that the fingertips of his hands were a little numb. He knew that this was because of the uncontrollable anger welling up in his heart! He bit his lip secretly to calm himself down. Just as he turned around and opened his mouth, before he could speak, there was a loud "bang" on the door, and several policemen suddenly burst into the room! Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua New Star" Chapter 8 Chapter 8 is coming one after another The police who suddenly broke in surprised several people in the room! The child in Chen Dayuan's wife's arms immediately burst into tears because of fright! "Who are you and what are you doing?" Lao Zhai walked up, but was immediately grabbed by two joint defense team members who rushed in and pinned him to the edge of the bed! "Everyone squat against the wall!" A policeman shouted harshly, waving his baton at several people in the room. "Move quickly!" "What are you doing? We are serious cadres!" Lao Zhai was dragged to the ground. Shouting loudly, when he saw the policeman walking towards Du Yan, he couldn't help shouting "Mayor Du!" This shout made the policeman stunned. He looked at Du Yan and hesitated for a moment, then asked suspiciously. He asked, "Are you the mayor?" and then said in disbelief, "Who could you fool such a young man?" "I am Du Yan, the mayor of Daqing Township, which office are you from?" Du Yan took out his work permit from his pocket. But when I handed it over, I remembered that my work permit was still the old one from the county party committee. Sure enough, when he saw the work unit on the certificate, the look of suspicion on the policeman's face became more serious: "This is the work certificate of our county committee, not Daqing Township. If you are fake, you should be genuine. I understand this. " As he spoke, the policeman glanced at Chen Dayuan's wife, who was holding a child next to her: "If someone reports you for human trafficking, come to the station with us! " "This is my own child!" Chen Dayuan's wife shouted. "It's illegal to sell your own children!" the policeman yelled, and there was a commotion outside the door. Then Chen Guangyi, who had gone out to get ginger soup, was dragged in by two joint defense team members. "Brother Liang, the hotel owner said that this kid seems to be in their group." A joint defense team member said. "It's still a gang, take them all away!" A flash of excitement flashed in the policeman's eyes. For ordinary police officers at the police station, if they can solve a "gang human trafficking case", the chance of promotion will be great. "Comrade, you are mistaken. We are cadres of Daqing Township." As soon as Lao Zhai stood up and tried to take out his work permit from his pocket, he was held down by a joint defense team member. Lao Zhai did not dare to move. He knew that he was Daqing Township is considered a figure, but he is really nothing in the county. ¡°Besides, if you get beaten by a zone defender inexplicably, you will not only suffer a loss, but also be embarrassed. And although I have heard that Mayor Du is a popular person in front of Secretary Li, it is only a rumor after all. I have never seen it with my own eyes. Besides, there is also a rumor that Secretary Li spends all his time because he doesn¡¯t want to see the person who saved him. He was dangling in front of him, so he sent Mayor Du to Daqing Township, so at this time, he had no hope of meeting Mayor Du. "Which police station are you from?" Du Yan spoke. Of course, he couldn't let these joint defense officers take them to the police station, otherwise it might not be a rumor if it spread. "How come you from Dongguan Station, do you know anyone you want to talk to?" The policeman looked at Du Yan. "Dongguan Station? This should be under the control of the station. You are on duty across multiple films." Du Yan frowned again. He knew that the hotels near the station should be related to the local police station, but even if the hotel owner reported it, it should be Although Dongguan Station is close to the railway station, it is not under their control after all. "You know a lot, come to the station," the policeman said, taking off the handcuffs from his waist. "Let's go, come to our place to have a rest?" "What are you doing here? This is our station. "Something happened!" A muffled voice suddenly came from the door. A tall and thin policeman suddenly appeared at the door with a few people. As soon as he came in, he shouted to the previous policeman: "Chen Liang, you are handling the case across the film. "It's not in compliance with the regulations!" "This is a report we received. What were you doing before? You were in charge of human trafficking, and you didn't know it?" The policeman who called Chen Liang came to meet him immediately. They confronted each other at the door, leaving several people in the room aside for a while. This small hotel originally faced the street, and the arrival of two groups of police was enough to attract attention. After such a commotion, people gathered in the corridors, doorways, and even on the street. "That's enough!" Du Yan finally growled unbearably, "Whoever is in charge on either side of you, call Liu Zhihui!" As he said that, Du Yan walked towards the door. Hearing this man suddenly say the name of the county bureau director, the joint defense team member who was about to stop him couldn't help but retract his hand and watched Du Yan walk to the front desk, pick up the phone and start dialing. Although the two policemen who had argued before were a little suspicious, they could not help but retract their hands. Still, he immediately walked to Du Yan and stared at him closely. "Director Liu, this is Du Yan." Listening to the noisy voices on the phone, Du Yan wondered if the county public security director's office was located in the market. "Don't congratulate me, now I I have become a prisoner of your public security department. I was at the terminal of the bus company.?In the hotel, two groups of comrades from the station and the city gate have detained me and several of my colleagues, suspecting us of human trafficking. Yes, it's called the Safe Hotel. " When Du Yan was on the phone, the faces of the two policemen next to him were already a little blue. If they suspected that Du Yan was bluffing at first, when the man named Chen Liang took the phone, he heard the roar coming from inside. , the policeman next to him couldn¡¯t help but secretly felt lucky that it wasn¡¯t him who answered the phone. ¡°Who are you! Lao Geng from the station or Lao Cao from the Chengguan office? ! " Liu Laofei roared angrily on the phone. Unlike other people who thought that Du Yan might fall out of favor in front of Li Peizheng, Liu Laofei had his own judgment. Although he didn't know what Li Peizheng had planned, Liu Laofei never told Feng Chao, even his uncle Wu Shenzheng fell down and felt that the former Secretary Xiao Du and the current Mayor Xiao Du could not be easily ignored. ¡°I, I am Chen Liang from the Urban Management Office, you are Bureau Liu? "Chen Liang asked hesitantly. He still has some doubts until now. After all, for a police station policeman like him, the county bureau director is a bit too far away. "Chen Liang? I don¡¯t know you, let your director Cao Yubin talk to me! "Liu Laofei said impatiently. "Liu, Director Liu, our director is not here. I came here after receiving a report. "At this time, Liu Laofei's identity was almost confirmed. Chen Liang's voice became more respectful, and at the same time, his eyes looking at Du Yan next to him became more and more dazed. "You come here? What the hell are you coming over here! Mr. Liu's scolding on the phone was deafening to the people next to him. "Why do you, a member of the Chengguan Office, handle cases across multiple films?" Do you still have the minimum organizational discipline? ! And what about the people at the station? Where is Geng Peng? Is Geng Peng there? " Hearing Liu Laofei's words, Chen Liang immediately handed the phone to the policeman at the station next to him with relief. After hearing that the station was just a policeman, Liu Laofei's anger was unbearable. Of course, he felt that the two The person in charge of the office no longer wanted him to lose face in front of Du Yan. More importantly, he was worried that Du Yan suspected that he was involved in this matter! Even though he was the deputy director of public security with real power, And Du Yan has left the county party committee compound and became the mayor of the town. But in Liu Laofei's view, both Li Peizheng and Ding Bingxian, who suddenly made a comeback, obviously still trust and support Du Yan. Even if Du Yan really does. He fell out of favor, but he could become the mayor at a young age, so he may not be able to make a comeback in the future. This is why Liu Laofei dare not ignore him. What¡¯s more, Liu Laofei needs such a person even more now. Support and attention. With a loud "pop" on the phone, Liu Laofei apparently hung up the phone and looked at the two policemen standing in front of him with awkward and uneasy expressions, and the arrogant joint defense team members beside him. , Du Yan raised his eyebrows and pointed at the crowd watching inside, then turned around and led the way to the room. Du Yan sat on the edge of the bed and suddenly turned around and asked the Daqing Township defense team member named Chen Guangyi. : "Where's the ginger soup I asked you to give Xiaobao? " "I" Chen Guangyi opened his mouth and glanced at the several joint defenders crowded at the door. Du Yan then remembered that he had seen a pile of debris in the corner of the corridor just now. He raised his head and looked at the several joint defenders who looked uneasy. , and then said to Chen Guangyi: "Go to the hotel owner to make some hot water, and remind me to pay for the bowl of food in the restaurant." " Chen Guangyi nodded, and just as he was about to step out of the house, there was a sudden commotion among the police and joint defense team members blocking the door. A fat policeman who was only slightly thinner than Mr. Liu and covered with sweat squeezed through the crowd and walked into the house. " Du Mi , No, Mayor Du! Geng Peng, the director of the station police station who recognized Du Yan at a glance, turned around and glared at his men behind him. Geng Peng, who had just received Liu Laofei's call, almost ran over, and he was already thinking about it on the way. The boss was scolded. Although it was not clear, various rumors about the earlier West Market Police Station had long been spread in the county bureau! It was Mayor Du who was killed on the first day he became Secretary Li¡¯s secretary. The director of the West Market Office was replaced by Wang Lianyi, who was said to be one of his own. Not long after, the deputy director of the county party committee made room for him, and I heard that he was actually Secretary Li's savior. All this was enough! Geng Peng, who was also at the department level and the head of the same department, did not dare to treat him as an ordinary township cadre. What's more, during the phone call just now, his immediate boss, Liu Laofei, pointed at his nose and cursed, which also made Geng Peng. Peng knew that his men had caused him a lot of trouble this time! "Mayor Du, what did you say? It's a misunderstanding! All misunderstood! "Geng Peng stretched out his hands from afar, and after holding them with Du Yan, he shook them up and down without listening. "Geng Suo, if you come one step later, I will have to handcuff you."??Meet you. "Although Du Yan's tone was calm, his eyes were slightly cold. "Oh, this is simply nonsense. Treating you, Mayor Du, as a criminal. This is really a mistake in the work of our comrades. " Geng Peng smiled helplessly. Seeing that the former secretary of the county party committee secretary obviously refused to give up, he felt a headache. "There are several completely different versions of the rumors about Du Yan in Pingling official circles. Some people say this The former First Secretary Pingling was a low-key person and never gave random orders in the name of leadership. Some people said that he was arrogant and domineering, and he did things ruthlessly at a young age. Those who offended him would not end well. Geng Peng was obviously more willing to believe that later. One way, when he saw Du Yan's downcast expression, he felt a hair in his heart. Speaking of which, Geng Peng might not have cared much about whether Du Yan had a grudge against him. After all, the police had its own system, so he didn't have to worry about Du Yan's retaliation. But in advance. Liu Laofei's attitude made Geng Peng dare not ignore it. Just as Geng Peng was about to continue saying something, a siren gradually came from far and near, and then there were two sounds of brakes outside the door. , following the footsteps, several people who stunned the police and joint defense team members blocking the door entered the room. Geng Peng unexpectedly discovered that not only Cao Yubin, the director of the Chengguan Office, arrived unexpectedly, but Cao Yubin was still following them. Behind him, Liu Laofei was walking in front, and next to him was Wang Lianyi, the director of the West Market. Geng Peng's heart suddenly sank when he saw the few people coming in. If Cao Yubin came over in time, he would say so. In the past, Liu Laofei, who came in at the same time as him, obviously came directly from the county public security bureau! And Wang Lianyi, although everyone in the Pingling public security system knew that Wang Lianyi could be said to be Du Yan's best friend, but he had no scruples. Appearing together with Liu Laofei made Geng Peng even more suspicious of Mayor Du's background. Liu Laofei, who walked in, ignored Geng Peng who came up and walked directly towards Du Yan. , you are not mean enough. If my men hadn't detained you, you wouldn't have told your brother that you were back. Just in time, take this opportunity today, rich man, I would like to congratulate you on your promotion to mayor. " Liu Laofei's first words made Geng Peng and Cao Yubin next to him change their expressions! They never expected that Liu Laofei would directly say such unobtrusive words in front of so many people. After causing trouble, Chen Liang and the policeman from another station were already panicking and sweating profusely in the winter. "Director Liu, your way of treating guests is really scary," Du Yan smiled and shook hands with Mr. Liu. He started to start, but his heart was not as relaxed as his face showed. He knew that Liu Laofei seemed to be so quiet when he came up. In fact, he had his own plans just like himself. "You go ahead and I will introduce you later." Let¡¯s talk about our Daqing township cadres. " Glancing at Lao Zhai, Liu Laofang showed an arrogant look on his face. He was naturally affectionate towards Du Yan because he had a purpose, but towards the cadres from the towns below, he had a completely different look. " Yes As far as he was concerned, even the lower-ranked deputy county magistrates were not looked down upon. Liu Laofei turned around, his expression darkening. He glanced at the two directors in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?" Those who are specifically responsible will tell you the situation. " Chen Liang knew he couldn't hide, so he gritted his teeth and stood up. " Reporting to the director, I am Chen Liang, a police officer from the Chengguan Office. I received a report from this hotel that someone was selling children, so I sent the police to investigate. " "You are from the Chengguan Office, how can you handle cases across multiple films? Liu Laofei stared at Chen Liang fiercely, and then glanced at the handcuffs that Chen Liang had been holding in his hand because of nervousness. His voice became more severe, "You use police equipment against state cadres without permission without evidence." Do you know what the nature of this problem is? " Liu Laofei turned around as he spoke, and said sternly to Cao Yubin, the director of the Chengguan Office, and Geng Peng next to him, who had not yet spoken to each other, "These are all your soldiers, you can handle it yourself!" I want to hear the final opinion! " With that said, he turned around and talked to Du Yan. As for how Cao Yubin and the others dealt with the unlucky policemen and joint defense, Liu Laofei didn't care. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Upstart Liu Laofei's behavior made other people not only surprised but also a little afraid of Du Yan. After all, in the eyes of the police joint defense and even the two police station chiefs, although the county party secretary has a high position of power, he is still far away from them. Liu Laofei is definitely the most powerful and terrifying figure in their minds. But it was the county public security director who came and ordered the police officers involved to be dealt with without asking any questions. It can be seen that Liu Laofei either has an extraordinary relationship with Mayor Du, or this person has a personality that no one can mess with. background. Of course Liu Laofei is not afraid of Du Yan. It can be said that he did this to give Du Yan face. Liu Laofei thought he had a very clear view of Li Peizheng's former chief secretary. At least for Liu Laofei, Feng Chao ended up just because he scolded Du Yan. After being imprisoned, Wu Shenzheng and Wu Shenzheng were also unlucky, which shows how "vindictive" this secretary of Du University is. In Liu Laofei's view, Du Yan had lost face in front of so many people, and according to his habits, he must fight for this face no matter what. If you can't calm him down on this matter, it will always be a problem. And now Liu Laofei needs Du Yan, someone who can speak well in front of Li Peizheng and Ding Bingxian. In addition to greeting each other with Wang Lianyi, Du Yan silently watched Liu Laofei handle this matter. At the same time, he also paid attention to Lao Zhai's expression next to him. Since Geng Peng arrived, Lao Zhai has been a little stunned. Then when these characters appeared one after another, Lao Zhai looked at Du Yan with awe. After all, even a county police station chief can completely ignore the township cadres below him, let alone a county bureau director at the deputy division level, let alone the town secretary and mayor, he is a county man with no real power. He's long, and people don't take him seriously. But now, Mayor Du has alerted so many people with just one phone call. Looking at the names of the people next to him, even the young police officer who just greeted Mayor Du in a low voice is actually the chief of the county police station! Lao Zhai's heart began to heat up. As the director of the town office, he was very well-informed. Naturally, he had heard a lot of rumors about Du Yan. In addition, secretary Shi Changgeng showed an attitude of being close to deputy secretary Peng Jun as soon as he arrived. Lao Zhai was in a dilemma. But looking at it now, Mayor Du¡¯s roots in the county are really deep. Du Yan could see the changes in Lao Zhai's face, and what he wanted was such an effect. He wants to let the cadres of Daqing Township know his influence and foundation in the county through Lao Zhai. Only in this way can some people be deterred and they will not deliberately make things difficult for them on the road ahead. " Du Yan doesn't have time to waste time fighting for power. He needs to do something in Daqing Township as soon as possible to ensure that his preparations for the inter-provincial economic bridge to be settled in Pingling will not fail. Although Song Jiayi's appearance made Du Yan believe that he had the opportunity to change the facts that had occurred in the past, if he had no foundation at all, then even if Song Jiayi was optimistic about this, he might not be able to successfully achieve his goal. After all, what was involved There are too many relationships. Du Yan was always wary of the county magistrate of the neighboring county who belonged to Linchi. It¡¯s funny to say it out loud. If others knew that he, the mayor of a small town that had just been decentralized, actually regarded the mayor of another county as his opponent, I wonder if others would think that he was really overestimating his capabilities. When Du Yan declined Liu Laofei's invitation to treat him for his promotion on the grounds that he was busy at work, and then took Chen Dayuan and his family to the county party committee compound in a police car sent by Liu Laofei, Lao Zhai once again experienced Du Zhen. The influence of growing up in the county party committee compound! After entering the county party committee compound, all the staff members they met took the initiative to say hello to Du Yan. Among them were the one or two that Lao Zhai had encountered when he came to the county to do business, which gave him the most headaches, and were the most incompetent. The arrogant department head. But when these people saw Du Yan, they all showed friendly and flattering looks. Some people even laughed very loudly because Du Yan said a few more words to them, as if they were afraid that others wouldn't hear. Similar. "Dayuan, I'll take you to see Director Yu of the County Party Committee Office." Before entering the second-story building of the County Party Committee, Du Yan turned around and said to Chen Dayuan, who was following behind with a nervous expression, "About your eldest son" "Du Zhen "Chief, we won't sue, we won't sue!" Chen Dayuan's wife suddenly shouted in a panic. When she saw someone, she looked over to them. She immediately lowered her voice and looked at Du Yan with fearful eyes: "Mayor Du, please." Please, we won¡¯t sue, just let us go.¡± I just saw several high-ranking officials in charge of so many police officers in the hotel, chatting and laughing with Mayor Du. Chen Dayuan was actually frightened. As soon as I lost my courage, I became more and more frightened. I got into the police car and went to the county party committee compound.?Mayor Du felt like he was at home. Remembering that the guard at the gate of the compound had said that Mayor Du was Secretary Li's man, and that if he sued Mayor Du, he would be subject to a lawsuit, Chen Dayuan and his wife were really scared. To Chen Dayuan and his wife, who is Secretary Li? He is the county magistrate! Whether the second uncle is great or not, it is said that Secretary Li jerked off with just one sentence, and then made this young man who was said to be someone close to him the mayor of the town. Now that the couple actually went to sue Secretary Li because they were temporarily deceived, Chen Dayuan and his wife, who figured out the relationship, were so frightened that they could hardly speak. Du Yan frowned when he saw someone looking this way because of Chen Dayuan's wife's actions. He knew that in the eyes of Chen Dayuan and his wife, he must have grudged their son because of the previous injury and deliberately made things difficult for him. This made Du Yan realize that this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and there must be no impact. Otherwise, a seemingly inadvertent incident will become a powerful weapon used by others to criticize him in the future. "Dayuan, why don't you sue?" Du Yan asked with a smile. He knew that Chen Dayuan was uneducated, so he tried to speak as plainly as possible, "Even if your boss is at fault, he is also hurt by what happened in the town. It's wrong for the town to ignore it. You I don't dare to admit that someone ignored your boss because I was injured. Then don't worry, Da Yuan, you have to take care of those who should be taken care of. Don't be afraid to say it is reasonable. I really don't care. Let¡¯s file a lawsuit with you.¡± ¡°Mayor Du, you mean it¡¯s not you who made things difficult for our family Guangcai?¡± Chen Dayuan¡¯s wife didn¡¯t believe it, but she didn¡¯t dare to say anything. "Sister-in-law, I don't understand some of the situation here. Let's go to Director Yu of the county party committee. Director Yu is the person in charge of the aftermath of the avalanche in Daqing Township. As far as I know, the county has no control over the avalanche, including your son. All injured people, including Guangcai, will receive free medical treatment, and Director Yu will help you." After saying that, Du Yan took the lead and walked towards the building. After standing outside the door of the county party committee office and knocking lightly, Du Yan took the lead and walked in. Seeing the sudden appearance of Du Yan, several staff members in the office did not react for a while because of habit. It was not until Old Yu happily called out "Mayor Du" that they suddenly thought that Du Yan was now a big man. The mayor of Qingxiang Town. Although Du Yan's identity has changed in just a few days, Lao Yu's enthusiasm for Du Yan has not diminished at all. This is certainly because Du Yan recommended him to become the deputy director, and it is also because he is the deputy director who relies on the leader. The more recent reasons are related to Li Peizheng's high regard for Du Yan. Looking at Du Yan chatting and laughing with Lao Yu, Lao Zhai who was following behind was even more secretly surprised. Although he was not familiar with Lao Yu, Lao Zhai paid more attention to the role of deputy director of the county party committee office than others, because he was Lao Yu's current position in the county party committee office in Daqing Township. So after seeing Lao Yu's affectionate attitude towards Du Yan with a little respect, Lao Zhai felt even more incredible. After hearing about the situation of Chen Dayuan¡¯s family, Lao Yu immediately took special measures and called the county hospital. Now Deputy Director Yu is already very majestic. Looking at the way he is explaining the arrangements to the relevant leaders of the county hospital on the phone with great momentum, who would have thought that not long ago, he was still the person who only knew how to hang around in the office all day long. old institution? When they knew that the matter had been resolved and the county hospital agreed to advance their son¡¯s medical expenses, Chen Dayuan and his wife were so excited that they knelt down in front of Du Yan in the office! Of course, Du Yan couldn't let them do this. He didn't say anything high-sounding like serving the people. He just warned Chen Dayuan and his wife in a stern tone that if they didn't want others to harm him by gossiping behind his back, they shouldn't do stupid things. After Chen Dayuan and his wife left the county party committee compound with a lot of gratitude, Du Yan also declined Lao Yu's invitation for lunch, and even blocked Lao Yu's kindness to arrange a car for him. After all, he had only been back for two days. Already a little sensitive, it is estimated that the petition of Chen Dayuan and his wife should have spread throughout the county committee and county government compound by now. Regardless of the smiles on the faces of those who greeted him, there may not be many people who want to see him lively. As for Guo Songlin, they may also be paying attention. So this is the reason why Du Yan made sure to take Chen Dayuan and his wife to the county party committee compound as soon as he heard that the matter concerned him. However, although the matter seems to have been resolved, if I don't know how to take the car sent by the county in a low-key manner at this time, it is estimated that there may be another controversy. After leaving the county party committee compound, Du Yan looked at Lao Zhai who seemed to want to say something. After a moment of thought, Du Yan came up with the reason. Since he entered the county party committee compound, of course he should visit the leader, not to mention that he had just left the leader's side. Secretary, just leave directly like this, don¡¯t you know?People may think of some of the previous rumors. In addition, for township cadres like Lao Zhai, it is good not only to let the leaders remember themselves, but even to leave an impression on the leaders. "Secretary Li has something to do at home today and is not at the county committee." Du Yan said casually. He knew that today was the day when Li Peizheng's family came to Pingling. Li Peizheng should be accompanying his family at this time. Seeing Lao Zhai's disappointed look, Du Yan smiled. He didn't mention taking Lao Zhai to see Ding Bingxian. Some things are not good if they are taken too far. As for going to Guo Songlin to say hello, Du Yan never even thought about it. Because so many things happened suddenly, the bus in the morning was naturally delayed, but Du Yan was not in a hurry. After leaving the county party committee compound, he took Lao Zhai and walked towards Liyuju. To Lao Zhai¡¯s expectation, there was someone waiting for them in Carp. When they were in the hotel, although Wang Lianyi only said hello to Du Yan in a hurry, the two of them still made an appointment to meet at Liyuju at noon. When he saw Du Yan, Wang Lianyi immediately stood up and greeted him. Although he thought Lao Zhai was just a township cadre, because Du Yan seemed to be very trusting when he introduced him, Wang Lianyi was also very warm and polite. For Wang Lianyi, after all, his position is still low, and he is temporarily out of reach of the level of county party secretary and deputy secretary. Du Yan naturally became his key figure in connecting with Li Peizheng. And Du Yan also needs Wang Lianyi to be his eyes and ears in the county public security bureau. Du Yan can¡¯t trust Liu Laofei! In addition to deliberately distancing himself because he knew that Liu Laofei would eventually be imprisoned for violating the law in the future, what was more important was that in Du Yan's view, people like Liu Laofei, no matter their status or their experience in the public security system over the years, The connections in the world are beyond what I can control now! Therefore, the relationship with Wang Lianyi is particularly important. Hearing that Du Yan was coming, Liyuju boss Shen Hefu also rushed over to say hello. After toasting with each other as usual, Shen Hefu left Zhiqu. Speaking of which, Du Yan also took a high look at Boss Shen's knowledge. After half the dinner and dinner, Wang Lianyi gradually got to the point. "Secretary Du, I heard that Bureau Liu has been very diligent in visiting several county party committee leaders recently." Wang Lianyi glanced at Lao Zhai and Chen Guangyi next to him. Seeing that Du Yan didn't mind, he continued, "There seems to be news. He said that Director Liu is expected to be promoted to Secretary of the County Political and Legal Affairs Committee and Director of the County Bureau. If so, Director Liu will join the County Standing Committee. Do you have this letter? " Du Yan put down his chopsticks, looked at Wang Lianyi who was looking at him, and nodded with a smile: "There is such a saying." In March 1990, in accordance with the development of the current domestic and international situation, the country abolished the "Central Political and Legal Leading Group" and re-introduced the name of "Central Political and Legal Committee". At the same time, it notified all localities to exercise the administrative establishment of the Political and Legal Committee. Function, this means that the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, which was neglected for some reasons in the previous two years, has once again received attention from the central level. At that time, in order to highlight the importance of the political and legal departments, in many places the secretary of the political and legal committee directly served as the director of the public security department. In this case, it is no wonder that Liu Laofei was tempted. After all, if he could become the secretary of the political and legal committee, he would be able to join the standing committee of the county party committee and become a real County Party Committee leaders in the sense. Du Yan had already heard the news before going down. He also knew that this was the reason why Liu Laofei deliberately got close to him. As a secretary, he was naturally not qualified to influence whether the Standing Committee would add a member of the County Party Committee Standing Committee. However, as the most influential figure in Li Peizheng's circle second only to Ding Bingxian, Du Yan's opinion plays a significant role in whether Li Peizheng will support Liu Laofei as secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. "Well, Secretary Du, do you think Bureau Liu has a chance to serve as secretary of the Political and Legal Committee?" Wang Lianyi's tone was a little hasty. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Little Bureaucrat Du Yan gave Wang Lianyi a strange look, and then after thinking about it for a moment, he understood why Wang Lianyi was so concerned about Liu Laofei's ability to serve as secretary of the County Political and Legal Committee. Just because if Liu Laofei can really serve as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and the Director of the Public Security Bureau, then his scope of work will definitely be expanded. In this way, Liu Laofei will inevitably delegate some of his power in the Public Security Bureau, and several deputy officials in the bureau will The director took on more work. According to Du Yan, at the same time as the announcement of the restoration of the organizational structure of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, the central government also issued a notice on accelerating the formalization and professionalization of the public security system. ¡°In this way, it is a rare and good opportunity for people like Wang Lianyi who have graduated from the official police school and have practical work experience at the grassroots level and appropriate grassroots leadership qualifications. In the current County Public Security Bureau, there are two deputy directors. One was the deputy director who was directly assigned to the Pingling County Bureau after transferring from the army. However, this deputy director is about to retire, and the other is He is a confidant promoted by Liu Laofei. Judging from the current situation, Liu Laofei naturally wants to hand over the power to preside over the daily work of the county bureau to his cronies. But with the retirement of the old deputy bureau, the county situation must add another person with professional expertise. deputy director. Thinking back to Wang Lianyi's mention just now that Liu Laofei has been very diligent in visiting several county party committee leaders recently, Du Yan can be sure that Wang Lianyi has been thinking about this idea a lot during this time. It is estimated that Liu Laofei has also Running a lot. "But Du Yan doesn't care very much. Progress and promotion are naturally a good thing that everyone wants. Although Wang Lianyi is a little impatient, it is understandable. Seeing that Du Yan didn't speak and just looked at him, Wang Lianyi realized that he was indeed a little impatient, so he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine in embarrassment. To be honest, Wang Lianyi was a little afraid of this Secretary Du. At least when he thought about how he had overthrown a deputy director of the county party committee office with just a few phone calls, Wang Lianyi felt that in front of this Secretary Du, his West Market Police Station Long, it¡¯s really nothing. "Lian Yi, if you still believe me, just listen to me." Du Yan slowly circled the wine glass with his fingers on the table. "Don't be too impatient, especially the personnel changes in the county bureau. Don't worry about it. Just do it." Do your job well." At this point, Du Yan stood up, took the coat hanging on the back of the chair and put it on, "When the time comes, it's yours and you can't run away." Wang Lianyi was only half-understanding at first. Nodding, he stood up immediately when he saw Du Yan put on his coat: "Du Mi, are you leaving now?" "Of course you're leaving after you've had enough to eat and drink. If you don't leave because you're occupying someone else's private room, Boss Shen will scold you." Du As Yan walked out of the private room, he looked up and saw Shen Hefu who had just passed by. "Who did Du Mi say I was going to scold?" Shen Hefu laughed and walked over. "Of course he scolded us. Not leaving after dinner is annoying." Du Yan smiled and shook hands with Shen Hefu. "I don't dare to scold you Du Mi," Shen Hefu immediately looked frightened. When Lao Zhai saw this scene, he was moved. He noticed that among the people who came into contact with Du Yan, people like Wang Lianyi and Boss Shen only called him "Du Mi" instead of Du Yan. Mayor. These people seem to have a closer relationship with Du Yan than others. In the eyes of these people, what is really important about Du Yan is his identity as Li Peizheng's secretary, and why they repeatedly emphasize this identity is because Du Yan and Li Peizheng have a relationship that no one can ignore. From this point, Lao Zhai was certain that the rumors that Du Yan had fallen out of favor with Li Peizheng were not only unreliable, but perhaps those rumors themselves were due to jealousy of the relationship between them. While Du Yan was talking to Shen Hefu, Lao Zhai came to the front desk, but to his surprise, the waiter at the front desk told him that their table had already paid. Lao Zhai pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone on the counter. He was anxious to call the town about what happened today. More importantly, he wanted to report what he saw to Chen Laogan. But the children in the corridor upstairs became more and more lively as they talked. It was just a few polite words, but for some reason, Du Yan mentioned the green fruit wine from Daqing Township. At first, Shen Hefu was just perfunctory. Although he had never been in the officialdom, he was familiar with some of the ways. Naturally, he knew that Du Yan had just come down and he must have made some achievements. After hearing Du Yan mention the benefits of green fruit wine several times, Shen Hefu roughly understood what Du Yan was thinking. He immediately offered to go to Daqing Township to have a look. If the Qingguo wine was indeed good, he would consider buying a batch. In fact, Shen Hefu has already made up his mind. Even if the quality of Qingguo wine is not very good, it cannot refute Du Yan's suggestion.For him, Du Yan obviously has the potential to invest. Du Yan naturally understood Shen Hefu's thoughts, and he was no stranger to Shen Hefu. In later generations, Liyuju's business was indeed very big. Not only did it open a branch in Taihua, but it even opened to the provincial capital later. So after Du Yan saw the green fruit wine in Daqing Township, he thought of taking advantage of Shen Hefu and his Liyuju who had not yet started their business. Although Shen Hefu was enthusiastic, Du Yan also knew that he was more interested in his own interests. This was certainly not what Du Yan wanted to see, so after inviting Shen Hefu to visit Daqing Township, he and Lao Zhai walked out of Liyuju after chatting for a few words. Before leaving, Du Yan looked at Wang Lianyi who seemed a little reluctant, thought for a moment and decided to give him a nod. "Lian Yi, some things are not easy to see clearly. You have to be stable when you need to be stable. I still say that, do your own thing well." After that, Du Yan stopped saying anything. The point has been made, can you? It¡¯s up to Wang Lianyi himself to understand. When they arrived at the long-distance station, they didn't expect that the station police station had already greeted the leaders of the long-distance station. Although there were many people taking the suburban county bus in the afternoon, Du Yan and the others still sat down under the disdainful and dissatisfied gazes of the people. They took the seats near the front that had been reserved for them. The road back was as bumpy as ever. Listening to the complaints of the people on the bus, and the three-swaying of the sedan chair, which made him almost vomit out his lunch meal, Du Yan became even more determined to build a road. determination! The car was driving with constant bumps and shaking, and the scenery outside the car window gradually dimmed. Without a good rest for two consecutive days, Du Yan quickly leaned on his seat and dozed off. In the haze, Du Yan seemed to have returned to the passionate night with Su Qian the day before. His mind kept wandering around the delicate shadow of Su Qian that fascinated him. The sweetness made Du Yan even doubt whether everything that happened before was just a show. Sweet dreams. But after a while, Su Qian's face seemed to have turned into Du Fei again, and it was still Du Fei when she was angry, just like when she woke up in the morning. After that, the two faces overlapped, which made Du Yan Can't tell who is who. "Then, the girl in the dream pulled him and shook him violently. With a shrill sound of brakes and a tumble of chaos, Du Yan woke up from his dream when his head hit the back of the seat in front of him! Du Yan covered his forehead and opened his eyes. He saw that Lao Zhai next to him was fine, but Chen Guangyi, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, was covering his forehead like him. Other passengers seemed to have been badly hit by the sudden stop, and there was a lot of cursing in the car! "What's going on with you? You're looking for death!" The bus driver angrily stuck his head out of the window and cursed at the road ahead. No one wanted to take this sedan road in the first place. Compared with other routes, it was so difficult to take a trip. It¡¯s enough to cause trouble, plus it¡¯s a freezing cold day. On the most difficult stretch of the road, we suddenly encountered such a car blocking the road. If the driver hadn¡¯t stepped on the brake quickly and quickly, he might have been hit directly. Went up. Du Yan leaned forward slightly and saw a very familiar Audi 100 through the windshield of the bus. Under the illumination of the bus headlights, not only the figure of the female driver standing in front of the bus with her arms raised in front of her eyes was clearly illuminated, but also the obvious scratches on the side door of the Audi 100 were clearly visible. "I'm sorry, our car broke down, can you help me?" The girl who was very powerful before ran to the bus in a few steps, raised her head and asked the driver who leaned out. It is obvious that young girls are very popular in any era. , listening to the girl¡¯s smooth Beijing accent, the driver¡¯s attitude immediately became much better. "Why, the car broke down? It looks like a good car. There's nothing like this in Pingling." The driver immediately jumped off the bus, but it's not to blame for him being so attentive. If he didn't turn the car across the The Audi on the road moved out of the way, and the bus really couldn't get through. The driver first looked at the Audi enviously, then looked down at the obvious bulge between the front and rear wheels, which almost completely squeezed the chassis of the car, and shook his head: "Miss, where are you going?" Ah, isn't it a waste to drive such a good car on this road? Look at the bottom, this car has suffered a lot. "Looking at the distressed look on the driver's face, the girl was more concerned about the car than the car." "Master, how far is it from Daqing Township?" "Are you going to Daqing Township?" The driver looked at the girl strangely, then looked at the figure who had been sitting in the car, "It's still far away. Those of you who take the Daqing Township route, if that doesn¡¯t work, you can take my car. I¡¯ll give you two yuan per person, but you can¡¯t just leave your car on the road in this wilderness.¡± ¡°That¡¯s okay, as long as you can.¡± Just be there," said the girl.?? didn't seem to care about this car, which cost at least three to four hundred thousand yuan. She half-crouched in front of the rear door window and whispered a few words to the people in the car. Then she turned to the bus driver and said, "There are two of us, you Find us a seat." The driver was a little embarrassed, but when he saw the girl taking out two ten-yuan bills, a smile immediately appeared on his face. Du Yan, who had already seen this scene from the car, watched with amusement as the girl worked in front of the trunk of the Audi for a while. Then the driver got in the car and whispered to two strong-looking male passengers. After a few words and giving each of them two five-yuan notes, the two male passengers got out of the car and helped several others slowly push the Audi that was stuck on the dirt hill to the side of the road. When they got on the bus again, the two male passengers crowded into the car and vacated their seats. The driver probably gave each of them five yuan, not only to help push the car, but also to buy them. seats. The girl carrying a huge suitcase got in the car first. Maybe it was because the smell in the car was bad, so she frowned, and then walked in with the suitcase. Behind her, the young woman Du Yan had seen before slowly walked up. She seemed to frown because of the bad air, but she didn't say anything and just followed quietly. There were a lot of people in the car, but when I saw the Audi before, I had already boasted about how well-informed I was. When the young woman got in the car, her clothes and temperament were obviously different from each other. A different and beautiful woman, the car couldn't help but become quiet, and people's voices became much quieter. When the woman walked across the aisle, some passengers immediately put away their exposed legs, fearing that their clothes would be dirty if they accidentally rubbed them. "Unfortunately, the seats given up by those two people happened to be in front of Du Yan's seat. The girl, who had not seen Du Yan at first, finally looked at Du Yan through the lights in the car while putting the surprisingly large suitcase on the overhead stand. Seeing Du Yan's face, which had never been good since they met, the girl couldn't help but asked angrily: "Why is it you again?!" The young woman also seemed to be surprised and looked at Du Yan. From the look in her eyes A vague vigilance can be seen. Maybe when she thought about it, this was a bit too coincidental. If meeting her on the street the day before was considered a coincidence, then it was too much of a coincidence for them to meet this person when they came to this wilderness. Moreover, it looked like The look in the eyes of the man sitting next to him seemed to be that of his companion, which made the young woman feel a little suspicious. The girl seemed to be more vigilant. After the initial accident, she immediately scanned the car. With just one glance, she had confirmed that not only Lao Zhai, who was sitting next to him, but also Chen Guangyi, who was on the other side of the aisle, was obviously the "associate" of this suspicious man. At the same time, her eyes quickly swept over the faces of every passenger in the car. However, the aura that did not match her appearance made the car feel silent again. "Xiaoyun, don't cause trouble." The young woman who always seemed so cold told the girl named Xiaoyun, but at the same time her eyes swept across Du Yan's face, and her expression seemed to be more She was warning Du Yan, and then she sat on the seat near the back. "You'd better be honest." The girl named Xiaoyun warned Du Yan in a low voice before sitting down. When she saw Lao Zhai looking towards her, she glared hard. There was something in that look that was not just a warning. , more revealing of fierceness. Seeing her like that, Du Yan could only smile silently. He really didn't expect that the world could be so small. But when the girl's eyes passed by, she looked calm on the outside, but in fact, her whole body seemed to be suddenly tense at that moment. Du Yan was strangely reminded of the driver Lao Chai next to Song Jiayi who seemed to be always ignored, but would appear when needed. Du Yan shook his head in amusement. Ever since he smashed up the Brilliant Nightclub last time, Song Jiayi suddenly disappeared without a trace. If he had not known in advance that in order to open up a situation in Taihua, Song Jiayi and the forces behind him would not hesitate to use all kinds of forces to push a nail in Hexi Province, Du Yan might have thought that the crown prince of the Song family in the capital would have already I forgot about Pingling, a remote and remote place. But in fact, Du Yan knew that as Hexi Province suddenly parachuted down a Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister from the central government before the National Day, the Song family's actions in Hexi Province should have already begun. Unlike some other prominent political families in the country, Mr. Song, the patriarch of the Song family, saw the situation clearly very early. Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Song wisely chose to withdraw from the core of power. Although he continued to work, he took the initiative to ask for some concurrent jobs. Go to a job that is not important and will not arouse others' suspicion. After obtaining the approval of the central government, Mr. Song took up the post of deputy director of the State Planning Commission that had just been established after the founding of the People's Republic of China.After that, he devoted himself to the economic construction of the country and rarely showed his face, let alone the affairs of the country's major affairs. Not only that, Mr. Song also strictly ordered his children to take any position that could easily lead to trouble. For a long time, the Song family was even gradually forgotten. But history and time ultimately proved that Mr. Song had a far-sighted vision and extraordinary wisdom than others. When the catastrophe swept across the land of China, no matter how brilliant the previous high-ranking officials and dignitaries were, they would not be spared. At that time, Mr. Song always stayed firmly on the Diaoyutai. No matter whether he was a scheming person who manipulated everything with power or a clown who jumped up and down to fight for power, Mr. Song didn't seem to be too embarrassed. After the catastrophe, when the country was in dire straits and needed to regain order, Mr. Song, a national elder who had made great achievements in the military field during the war and in the economic field after the founding of the People's Republic of China, naturally got the opportunity to come back to take charge of the work at that time. second-generation leaders rely heavily on. Thinking of these news and allusions that were searched out by people in later generations, Du Yan couldn't help but admire Song Jiayi's grandfather. In fact, just from Song Jiayi, we can see that the Song family is not only sophisticated in doing things, but also they are sure to hit the target if they don't move. ! From mobilizing the local garrison to destroy the "brilliance" to airdropping a Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister to Hexi Province, Song Jiayi seemed to be arrogant and arrogant, but by beating Taihua Mayor Ren Shuqiang, he directly hit the Hexi Provincial Party Committee. Some people see little color. By comparison, Du Yan felt that he really had nothing to be proud of by taking advantage of this incident and using the photo incident to bring down Sun Dewen. With such random thoughts, Du Yan forgot about the girl who was staring at him even though he was sitting in the front row. The bus swayed forward in the dim night, its lights flashing on the road ahead, but after all this tossing, Du Yan felt a little hungry. Speaking of which, he had a really hard day. He ate some breakfast at home in the morning, and then started running around about the things he encountered. Although he drank with Wang Lianyi at noon, he didn't eat any staple food. He listened to the growl from his stomach. Du Yan looked at Lao Zhai next to him, but then remembered that Lao Zhai obviously didn't bring anything to eat. For a moment, he could only endure it. There was a noise in the seat in front of him, but he asked the girl Xiaoyun to stand up and stand up from the shelf. Go to the side of the suitcase and take out two pieces of bread and water. "Mr. Qiao, please have something to eat." Xiaoyun whispered, and then there was a sound of tearing open the package. The young woman named Mr. Qiao was obviously not very talkative, so she just said "hmm". Du Yan's stomach couldn't help but growl again, and this time it was louder, even Lao Zhai next to him heard it. "Mayor, are you hungry?" Lao Zhai asked with concern and couldn't help but reflect, "It's all my fault. You should have remembered to bring some food. You have worked so hard today. If you are hungry, then it will be my responsibility." " " Lao Zhai said this, although it was a bit flattering, but it was also more or less sincere. After seeing Du Yan working for Chen Dayuan's family, even though he knew that Du Yan was not all for Chen Dayuan, he couldn't help but be slightly moved. After all, although this matter has something to do with Du Yan, there is no need to work so hard for them. From this point of view, Lao Zhai felt that Du Yan was really a bit of a parent. "Mayor, just a little further ahead is Shimen Village. When we get there, I'll go down and buy something to eat," Lao Zhai said, raising his voice to the driver and saying, "Master, stop a little longer when you get to Shimen. I'll go down and buy something." Hear. When Lao Zhai said this, the girl sitting in front of him let out a disdainful "hum", obviously disgusted with Lao Zhai's flattery. "No need, we're not far away. We'll get there if we just keep patiently." Du Yan said casually. He didn't want Lao Zhai to become his follower who flattered him. For Du Yan, he wanted Da Qing more. There are a few people among the township cadres who can help him. "No wonder his sister is so arrogant. She turns out to be a petty bureaucrat." The girl named Xiaoyun muttered in a low voice. She turned around and glanced at Du Yan disdainfully through the gap in the seat. "The official is not big, but he is not trivial." "The young woman next to her also frowned slightly. Although she didn't know who the young mayor behind him was, but judging from how much his subordinates liked to please, he must be the kind of person who would be frivolous when he is young. Speaking of which, she had seen too many such people, and it could be said that the status of those people was much higher than that of the little mayor. But because of this, she couldn't help but think of the attitude of the girl next to this person before. I felt disgusted that a small town mayor could be so arrogant. The shadow of the village appeared in front. The driver pulled the car aside and shouted to the back: "Shimen is here, anyone is getting out of the car."?? " After the bus stopped, several passengers got off the bus. Suddenly two figures appeared at the door. One of them shouted to the bus: "Mayor Du, Director Zhai, are you on the bus? " Lao Zhai immediately stood up from his seat: "Is it Siyou? "It's me, Director Zhai," Chen Si quickly got into the car and found Du Yan and said, "Mayor, after receiving the call from Director Zhai asking the town to send a car to pick you up, we met you on the road. I guess We can almost meet him at Shimen. This is just right, we really met him. " "Did you call Lao Zhai and ask the town to send a car to pick him up? "Du Yan stood up and got out of the car. He remembered that Lao Zhai seemed to have left for a while in Liyuju. It was probably the call he made at that time. Although Lao Zhai made some decisions without authorization, he didn't care. Sometimes he still had to Give the people below some opportunities to express themselves: "I won¡¯t do it in the future, don¡¯t do this. "Yes, yes, you must pay attention to it in the future," Lao Zhai chuckled. He knew that although Mayor Du said this, he might not be happy that he was so thoughtful. "Mayor, let's get in the car. We can catch up after we get back." Start the meal. " "Director Zhai, don't worry, the house has been prepared for a long time, and we are just waiting for the mayor to return. My second uncle personally asked me to have a drink with the mayor. "Chen Siyou said a few steps and ran to the roadside to open the door of the old jeep parked there. At this time, the bus had already driven on the highway. Before Du Yan lowered his head and got into the jeep, he undoubtedly raised his head and saw the passing On the bus next to them, the young woman in the car was looking down at them. "Xiaoyun, you are really right," she said, looking at Du Yan who was getting into the jeep. The woman turned around and said to the girl next to her who was also looking at this scene with disdain, and then she said to herself: "Mayor Du? Could it be him? " But then she shook her head slightly: "Probably not. I heard that this person is not such a small bureaucrat. " Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 11 Chapter 11 The First Confrontation Although it had only been a few days, Du Yan had already clearly felt that the attitude of the cadres in Daqing Township towards him was obviously different from before. Du Yan naturally knew that this was the result of a trip to Pingling, but Du Yan also knew that although Shi Changgeng seemed not to take it seriously on the surface, the matter would certainly not be solved so easily. And Peng Jun, the deputy secretary of the town committee, doesn't seem to have changed much about himself. Although his appearance can easily make people think that he is a careless person, he still smiles all day long, but Du Yan naturally knows that he can be a cadre There are few people who can be described simply. Sure enough, on the second day after Du Yan returned to Daqing Township, at the first town standing committee meeting of the new team, Peng Jun fired first, catching Du Yan off guard! Since this is the first meeting of the Standing Committee, and the first and second leaders are new to the meeting, the other members of the Standing Committee certainly think that there will be no major issues at this meeting, and they will wait until the new leaders are familiar with the situation before taking any action. So, when the bits and pieces of things were over, several members of the Standing Committee had already started chatting in low voices, and two people even agreed to go have a drink together after the meeting. At this moment, Peng Jun's slightly thick cough sounded in the office: "The following is an issue related to personnel changes." The room fell silent, and several members of the Standing Committee looked at Peng Jun in astonishment. Although everyone vaguely knew that Peng Jun had often opposed Lao Yang in the past two years in order to become the mayor, but because of Chen Laojie's pressure, it didn't cause much trouble. What¡¯s the matter, Secretary Chen has just left and the tea has not yet cooled down, and Peng Jun can¡¯t help but jump out and want to cause trouble? Seeing the strange looks on the faces of the Standing Committee members across the table, Peng Jun felt an indescribable joy in his heart! For several years, he has not been able to compete for the position of mayor because of Chen Laojie's pressure. Moreover, although Chen Laojie and Mayor Yang do not have a harmonious relationship, Chen Laojie is one of those old-fashioned cadres who pays attention to everything. From the above point of view, in Chen Laogan's opinion, since Mayor Yang was sent by the county, his prestige must be maintained. Because of this, Peng Jun has never been able to compete with Mayor Yang. Seeing that the snow collapse incident gave him a good opportunity, but Du Yan jumped out and interfered for no reason. There is no need to mention the hatred in Peng Jun's heart. . It's okay now. Chen Laogan has gone to the National People's Congress, and he probably won't have much prestige for a long time. Judging from the manner in which he spoke when he reported in that day and the behavior of County Organization Minister Liao Kun, it is clear that the new secretary Shi is highly regarded by Minister Liao. , and Secretary Shi and Du Yan couldn't even pee in the pot, which made Peng Jun feel that his chance had come! So after drinking on the first day, Peng Jun decided to let Shi Shumei go to the hotel owned by his wife to get closer to Secretary Shi. At the same time, he also showed the people in the town and created a relationship between himself and Shi Shu. The impression that the secretary was on the line. And although the two days are still short, judging from the fact that Secretary Shi comes to him from time to time to understand the situation in the town, Peng Jun knows that Secretary Shi seems to have the idea of ????walking more with him. Today¡¯s sudden topic of personnel changes can be said to be Peng Jun¡¯s show of goodwill to Secretary Shi, and it is also a signal to take the opportunity to make his voice heard in the Standing Committee. "It's like this. According to the regulations of our town, in order to coordinate the work arranged by the party committee, Secretary Shi must have a full-time correspondent next to him. I think Hu Xuecong from the town committee office can be transferred to do this work. Xiao Hu attended an agricultural college. He is considered a scholar in our Daqing Township and should be qualified for this job. As for Xiao Hu's current job, I think Comrade Chen Siyou can take over. We all know that Siyou worked in the street committee office before and is very good in this regard. Experience can also be used to give full play to his strengths, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, haha" Peng Jun laughed at the end, although his expression seemed to be to mediate the weirdness in the room when he spoke. The atmosphere, but from the slightly satisfied smile on his face, it can be seen that Peng Jun is indeed happy to finally be able to make his own voice. The room fell into silence for a while. Several members of the Standing Committee looked a little strange, but they didn't say anything. Some of them lowered their heads and wrote something in their notebooks. One person put down and stood up, stood up and put down again and played with the table. On the other hand, one simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Looking at the strange expressions of several members of the Standing Committee, Du Yan raised a question mark in his heart. When he saw Lao Zhai sitting at the end of the table looking at Peng Jun with an equally strange look, he guessed why the atmosphere suddenly became so Strangely, although it had something to do with Peng Jun's suggestion to transfer Chen Si, maybe the person named Hu Xuecong was not an ordinary staff member. Shi Changgeng¡¯s eyes slowly swept across the faces of several people. Although Peng Jun¡¯s proposal seemed to be a sign of goodwill to himself, for Shi Changgeng, why not take the opportunity to see how many people in Daqing Township areSo you can rely on your own opportunities. Because of the special political environment in the country, the position of party committee secretary is always a great deterrent. Even some party committee secretaries who are not very sophisticated can be said to be absolutely powerful as long as they sit in that position. The symbol and existence of power! Although Shi Changgeng was not able to fully appreciate the authority of being the leader of the local party and government because he worked in a special environment like a school before, he could still feel the intimidation brought by his own power. Now, it¡¯s time to test the extent to which this deterrent can work. "I think we should be cautious about this matter," Lao Zhai was the first to speak. What he had seen and heard in the past two days had made him determined to follow Du Yan, and in fact, he was not allowed to have other ideas. , because he was promoted by Chen Laogan, and he also knew that Shi Changgeng would not let him, the director of the town office, become a leader. Since this was the case, it was better to stand by Mayor Du as early as possible, even if Shi Changgeng really let him in the future. If he moves his place, at least he will have Mayor Du to back him up. However, "We all know Xiao Hu's work. He is doing very well. He has graduated from an agricultural college and is willing to make progress. He can be regarded as a senior intellectual in our Daqing Township." Lao Zhai said as carefully as possible. He was really asking questions at this time. Difficult, just as Du Yan guessed, although Chen Siyou is Chen Laogong's nephew, this Hu Xuecong is not an ordinary person, not to mention the contest between Du Yan and Shi Changgeng. No one expected that a little The change of the town committee clerk will bring about so many people and things. "But after all, Siyou has been working in the town committee for a longer time and has more work experience. I am not complaining. Our town cannot compare with the county." The town committee and the town government all work together. Speaking of which, I don¡¯t even know which of the four departments should be in charge. In the morning, I ran errands for the town committee, and in the afternoon I had to do errands for the town government. I would say more work, more work. According to the principle of success, Siyou should earn two wages." There was a burst of laughter in the office, and the atmosphere that had become a little depressed due to Peng Jun's sudden attack was slightly relieved. "However, everyone now knows that Secretary Shi and Mayor Du have just come to work," Lao Zhai continued. "In many cases, we need to let the two leaders figure it out as soon as possible. This requires an understanding of both sides of the town committee and town government. Comrades who are familiar with daily situations are nearby. I think Si You is still competent in this regard. Xiao Hu, on the other hand, although he is very professional and is a famous scholar here, he doesn't know much about our current situation after all. If a comrade cooperates with the leader in his work, is this called getting twice the result with half the effort?" Lao Zhai said, and asked the person next to him who had been playing with the cigarette case. Seeing the man nodding obediently and lowering his head to play with the cigarette case, Shi Changgeng secretly frowned. He also vaguely heard about Du Yan's stay in the county yesterday. Although he didn't hear the details, he knew that the former first secretary of the county party committee must have played a very powerful role. But if you think you can suppress him because of this, Shi Changgeng thinks that Du Yan is still too young. "Young people can learn, and no one comes with experience. In addition, although Chen Siyou has been working very hard in the town office in the past few years, we should also know that there are some places where his behavior is inappropriate," Peng Jun said His face darkened. Although Chen Laogan's prestige in Daqing Township cannot be ignored, after all, he has already gone down. If he cannot hit the target with one hit in this first contest, then Chen Laogan's influence cannot be removed as soon as possible in the future. What's worse is that, in Peng Jun's view, Chen Laogan and Du Yan are obviously wearing the same pants, which makes him even more intolerable. "Of course, I'm not saying that Si You can't do it, but we also know that because Some customary relationships. After all, Si You has many relatives and elders in Daqing Township. Sometimes when meeting these people at work, it is inevitable to have more scruples and not so firm in principle, so I think it is better to mention Xiao Hu. Okay, after all, he doesn't have so many problems in this area." Du Yan had been listening silently. When he heard Peng Jun almost unscrupulously hinting that Chen Siyou had shown signs of favoritism at work, Du Yan suddenly Realizing that this was no longer a matter of simply replacing a staff member, but that Peng Jun was taking the opportunity to carry out a small move to "eliminate old stereotypes". Does Shi Changgeng know about Peng Jun's move? Du Yan turned his head slightly and looked at Shi Changgeng, who was sitting in the main seat, but he soon determined that even if Shi Changgeng didn't know about it before, it must be visible. Du Yan's mind was spinning rapidly. When Peng Jun finished speaking, he saw Shi Changgeng putting down the water glass in his hand. He knew that he had to speak. If he waited until Shi Changgeng spoke, things might not change. "Let me tell you my personal opinion," Du Yan habitually closed the book in his hand. He never liked to read from the book. This was not because he was deliberately trying to show off his personality, but because he had done so many years ago.Du Yan has developed a habit. Whenever he sees a leader on the podium looking down at the notebook in front of him, Du Yan will guess what is written in that notebook. And if this kind of thinking goes on for a long time, he will naturally doubt those leaders. How much of what they say comes from their true thoughts, or is it just a formality written by a secretary for them. "I don't have much contact with Comrade Siyou, but judging from the past two days, he is still very familiar with his job. Secretary Chang Geng and I are both new here, and we don't understand many things, so we need someone who can provide us with some information. For reference and opinions, Director Zhai is in charge of the overall work of the town committee and town government. This does not conform to our organizational principles, but there is no way. Everything is based on actual conditions. This is what we can do under current conditions. At this point, is Director Zhai also asking for a double salary?" Du Yan said to Lao Zhai across the table, and his words caused another burst of laughter. "So I think this situation should continue. Speaking of which, I am very grateful to Secretary Chen." At this point, Du Yan picked up the water glass and took a sip. He noticed that as soon as these words came out, everyone in the room The atmosphere changed again. Several members of the Standing Committee who had been silent before became more focused. "Our Daqing Township is relatively decent compared with other towns. Although this is related to our relatively convenient transportation, it is not as good as Secretary Chen." The efforts of the past year are inseparable. Especially in the past year, the town has done well in setting up factories. I have seen that the profits of our town in the second half of the year are much better than ever before. This is what Secretary Chen led. Good results." Following Du Yan's words, the atmosphere in the office also changed. Several members of the Standing Committee who had been watching the changes began to talk to each other. At the same time, they also carefully observed Peng Jun, whose face became increasingly ugly. His expression also paid attention to Shi Changgeng, who began to drink water silently after hearing this. "So what we have to do now is to build on the efforts of Secretary Chen and the previous comrades of the town committee to put our Daqing Township on a fast and effective road to wealth as soon as possible," Du Yan felt that the more he said, Yue Shun began to wonder if he also had the potential to talk nonsense, but this was the truth in his heart. After all, this could only be achieved if Daqing Township became rich as soon as possible, and even became a link connecting Pingling and other areas of Hexi Province as soon as possible. his goal. "So, comrades, we should be more cautious in personnel matters, and as Deputy Secretary Peng said, we must make the best use of their talents." At this point, Du Yan looked at Peng Jun. Although he had a smile on his face, Everyone recognized his specially emphasized word "vice". "So according to the principle that this person should give full play to his talents, I think Comrade Xiao Hu should work in the town's agricultural and industrial office. After all, a top student from an agricultural college is not suitable for street work." ?¡± As soon as Du Yan¡¯s words came out, everyone in the room couldn¡¯t help but be stunned! Several members of the Standing Committee who had been nodding before were stunned for a moment, and then stopped. Lao Zhai showed a trace of anxiety, and Peng Jun suddenly smiled after being stunned. "Mayor Du said it well. People can make the best use of their talents. Mayor Du is the best at it. He can immediately tell where is more suitable for Xiao Hu to display his talents." Peng Jun laughed, and he looked at Du Yan with a look in his eyes. Unrivaled banter. At the same time, I couldn't help but secretly think, after all, I'm still a child, and I get arrogant when I feel proud. This time, you'll be the one to look good. And the way Shi Changgeng looked at Du Yan also changed slightly, with more of a slight contempt. Compared with the leisure time of the street committee office, the agricultural and industrial office is not only a Qingshui yamen, but also has to go to the villages from time to time throughout the year to collect public grains, distribute grain seeds, promote technology, register the effects of chemical fertilizers, and all kinds of miscellaneous things thing, that was obviously a chore. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But because of Peng Jun¡¯s proposal, even Xiao Hu became jealous. In Shi Changgeng¡¯s eyes, this kind of behavior was not only domineering but even a little childish. Lao Zhai secretly looked at Du Yan anxiously. He never expected that Du Yan would suddenly target Xiao Hu. Although Hu Xuecong was nothing in the eyes of these people here, when he thought of Xiao Hu's background, Lao Zhai Zhai was anxious for a while, and when he heard Peng Jun seizing the opportunity to stir up trouble on the phone, Lao Zhai felt that things were really bad. This proposal for personnel changes was finally shelved after Shi Changgeng said "discuss again". At the end of the meeting, Peng Jun looked at Peng Jun who walked out of the office with Shi Changgeng with a smile on his face, and looked at several members of the Standing Committee. As they left one after another, Du Yan guessed that the matter was not that simple after all. "Mayor Du" Lao Zhai came over and hesitated to speak. "Director Zhai, tell me, what's going on with that little Hu?" Du Yan asked Lao Zhai with a smile. "Hey, Mayor Du, you don't know. Xiao Hu himself is not that bad, but his grandfather was the old county magistrate of our Pingling County. Speaking of Daqing Township,The road leading to the county seat was still a major when his grandfather was in office. "Lao Zhai looked at Du Yan helplessly. He didn't know for a moment whether he should comfort Mayor Du or what to do. It was not as Lao Zhai thought. Du Yan just nodded slightly when he heard the news. Although he also thought This Xiao Hu may have a lot of background, but I didn¡¯t expect that he would still be such a figure. Speaking of which, the former County Magistrate Hu was also a legend. Although he was not from the Chen family, he was the son-in-law of the Chen family in his early years. However, after participating in the revolution and coming back, he returned to his original surname. After becoming the county magistrate, he did not forget his hometown, so he built a road from Daqing Township to the county seat. Although it had fallen into disrepair over the years, Daqing made Daqing famous after all. Therefore, the transportation in Daqing Township is more convenient than other places, and the life is better. So, although County Magistrate Lao Hu retired in the early 1980s, his influence in Daqing Township is still very deep. No less powerful than Chen Laogan, a man with the surname Chen and legitimate authority. "It turns out he is Mr. Hu's grandson," Du Yan smiled and picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. "But Director Zhai, tell me, this little alley boy." What is the working level of Zhi? " Seeing Du Yan's unconcerned look, Lao Zhai didn't know what to say. Thinking about it, Mr. Hu has been retreating for a long time. Maybe in Daqing Township, he is still the leader who stomps his feet and the whole town trembles. But in Daqing Township, In the eyes of many people in the county, the old county magistrate may have been forgotten a long time ago. "Xuecong is quite up to date," Lao Zhai said with a smile. He noticed that Du Yan heard him call Hu Xuecong. Then she looked at him slightly and explained, "His father and I have a good relationship. Speaking of which, Mr. Hu had great expectations for Xuecong's father. But later Mr. Hu retired and was unable to help his son take another step forward. Now Xuecong's father is the principal of the town's primary school and will be retiring in a few years. " Du Yan nodded silently. He had heard about County Magistrate Lao Hu before, but he didn't understand why Peng Jun would mobilize Hu Xuecong and Chen Sixou to attack Chen Laogan and even himself. After all, speaking of Hu They must be related to the Chen family. Seeming to see Du Yan's confusion, Lao Zhai hesitated and said, "Speaking of it, County Magistrate Lao Hu had some grudges with the Chen family. In the early years, he was the son-in-law of the Chen family, and later joined the family. After the revolution, he changed his surname back, which made his father-in-law very angry. I heard that it was because of this that his father-in-law never let County Magistrate Lao Hu enter his house again. Later, although Lao Hu became County Magistrate The county magistrate still has a bad relationship with the Chen family. Even the relationship between their family and the younger generations of the Chen family is just that, and the Chen family does not regard the old Hu family as relatives. " Du Yan didn't expect that there were so many things going on in a town. Perhaps Peng Jun used Hu Xuecong to cause trouble because he valued the twists and turns. This made Du Yan a little unhappy! Although there may be some The struggle has been prepared for a long time, but Du Yan never believed that the so-called struggle is the only thing that exists in the official career. Maybe it is because of different governance concepts, or maybe they have different views on things. Of course, conflicts are inevitable, and sometimes the conflicts may be quite serious. However, Du Yan felt disgusted with the behavior of fighting purely for the sake of struggle, opposing for the sake of opposition, and even provoking factional conflicts for the sake of power and gain! When he and Lao Zhai walked out of the office, it happened to be noon, and they saw him standing there. Chen Siyou seemed to be doing nothing in the yard, but when he saw Chen Siyou, he immediately took a few steps forward. Du Yan raised his hand to stop what he was about to say, "Go and do your own thing. "Du Yan doesn't want to hear some useless words at this time, let alone listen to Chen Siyou's grateful words after he has just made the decision to support Chen Siyou, otherwise his support for Chen Siyou at the Standing Committee will change. Taste. So after finishing speaking, Du Yan walked out of the town committee office and walked along the street. The street was a little livelier at this time. The children living in the town went home from school for lunch and the town set up a factory. The workers were also rushing home. As for Du Yan, the new mayor, he didn¡¯t know many people in the town, so Du Yan was able to relax and take a look at the situation in the town. Indeed, as Du Yan said at the meeting, Chen Laogan had laid some foundations, especially the small brewery built using spare warehouses. Although it was just a start-up and did not even have some basic facilities, at least it It was quite a scale. Du Yan knew that the director of the winery that Chen Laojie was looking for was also called Chen Dahao. Among the private brewing workshops in Daqing Township, his workshop was the largest. Speaking of Chen Laojie, It took a lot of effort to convince him. If he hadn't coaxed and lied to him and even beat and scolded him in the name of the factory director, Chen Dahao probably still wouldn't agree. There was nothing he could do about it. The people's commune system in 1998 brought great changes to farmers.Difficulties have cast a shadow on many people, so that when they hear words like cooperative collectives, they think they are going back again. Du Yan thought and walked towards the town factory. The damage caused by the snow collapse incident nearly a month ago could still be vaguely seen. The gables of some damaged houses were temporarily supported by wooden pillars. Some walls could be See the newly sealed breach. A chubby figure appeared in front of him. Before Du Yan could see clearly, the man had already quickened his pace and came towards him. "Mayor Du, where are you going?" Before Chen Dahao could get closer, a strong smell of alcohol rushed into Du Yan's nose. "Nothing, just walking around the town and eating by the way." Du Yan was somewhat interested in Chen Dahao. According to Chen Laojie, he was the first person to open a private brewing workshop in the town. His business has been good in the past few years. The family built a new two-story yard, and a small worker was hired in the workshop in the first year. This is an amazing feat in Daqing Township, so when Chen Laojie asked him to be the director of the town's winery, Chen Dahao was unwilling to do so, and he also suspected that the town was watching his private wine workshop. If it gets popular, you have to steal it in different ways. "That's just right. I'm going to ask Mayor Du today to give me this face." Chen Dahao laughed. He had been wandering around outside for several years, so he didn't show any timidity in using this kind of words. "Okay, I heard that people from other towns have started to come to our Daqing to buy wine recently, right?" Du Yan and Chen Dahao asked as they walked. "Yeah, don't tell me, who would have thought that this green fruit wine is really famous around here," Chen Dahao said, raising his hand and patting his forehead. "Looking at my memory, Mayor Du gave me the idea." The second uncle just said, Mayor Du is our Daqing Township's money-splitting boy. He has pointed out the way before he comes. If we become the mayor, Daqing Township will be prosperous in the future. "As he said, Chen Dahao burst out laughing again, but then he looked embarrassed. He looked at Du Yan and touched his face, and he cursed in his heart for saying what he said about Mayor Du behind his back. It¡¯s over. Looking at Chen Dahao's slightly uneasy expression, Du Yan had no choice. I have to admit that Du Yan's youth is an advantage that allows him to have more time than others, but it is also a shortcoming, especially when he looks in the mirror and looks younger than his peers. After seeing his appearance, Du Yan couldn't blame some cadres in the town for calling him a money-spreading boy behind his back. Fortunately, Chen Dahao was quite smart. When he saw Zailai Restaurant not far away, he immediately led the way. Although he knew that this restaurant was owned by Peng Jun's wife, because he couldn't find any other decent place to eat, Du Yan followed him in. The waiter in the restaurant obviously knew Chen Dahao. After seeing Chen Dahao, Du Yan became even more enthusiastic. After leading them into the private room, he did not forget to ask the proprietress to come over. "Mayor Du, please sit down while I go see what good wine there is." Chen Dahao stood up after ordering the food. "You, the director of the winery, are still short of good wine?" Du Yan asked with a smile. "Don't tell me, our green fruit wine is delicious, but just like women, they are all fresh, right?" Chen Dahao said to Du Yan in the private room as he opened the door, then turned around and walked out of the private room. Then, Du Yan heard a familiar groan in the corridor, followed by a shrill scream from Chen Dahao! When Du Yan heard the sound, he immediately rushed out of the private room and went to the corridor. Then he couldn't help being stunned! We meet everywhere in life. Looking at the girl standing in the middle of the corridor, twisting Chen Dahao's arm behind her back, and the cold young woman behind her, these very elegant words flashed through Du Yan's mind. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 12 Chapter 12 They are all great people In addition to the girl named Xiaoyun, there was also a burly man standing next to the young woman. Although he just stood there silently, this man made people feel like a leopard whose whole body was tense and ready to attack. , it seems that it will suddenly pounce on you in the next moment! "Mayor Du!" Chen Dahao shouted when he saw Du Yan. His tone made people think he was a lost child who finally saw his mother. Speaking of which, Chen Dahao is considered a well-known figure in Daqing Township. He has seen a lot of things in the world after doing business for several years. Even the leaders of the town treat him differently, but he never expected that he just accidentally bumped into someone next to him. That woman was forced to the ground by a little girl. She was so embarrassed! Du Yan had a headache. Although he didn't know who this woman was, he knew that she was definitely not a simple person based on her Audi worth hundreds of thousands. There was a commotion in the aisle, and the guests in the hotel naturally looked over one after another. At this time, the Chinese people's lively habits were fully demonstrated, and some people from far away were standing still, fearing that they would not be seen. Du Yan had already seen Peng Jun's wife disappear in a flash. Now Chen Dahao's voice has completely tied her up. No matter what happened just now, whoever is in the right and who is in the wrong, Du Yan's case He can't just throw away his hands and leave at any time, otherwise he will be completely trapped in this three-acre land of Daqing Township. "What's going on?" Du Yan walked over to those people. He was indeed very unhappy. Although he knew that the other person's background must be quite high, he could just push someone to the ground casually, and it was still on their territory. That's too arrogant. The man who had been standing next to her suddenly took a step forward to block the young woman. Although he only stood there for a moment, Du Yan didn't doubt that if he did anything excessive, he might enjoy the same as Chen Dahao. The treatment of being pinned to the ground with arms stuck out. "Please stop!" The man didn't have any unnecessary words. Although his expression was stern, his tone was quite polite. However, his expression also made it clear that he was warning Du Yan that if he acted rashly, the consequences could be dangerous. "Xiaoyun, let go of this person, he probably didn't mean it." The young woman ordered the girl. As she spoke, she rubbed the painful shoulder that was hit just now. It was unlucky to say that she was hit by a drunkard just after she came downstairs. They collided head-on. Although it seemed that the other party didn't mean it, if the companions around him hadn't blocked it in time, the collision might have been serious. The young woman's two fine, long and beautiful eyebrows were gently gathered together. She did not expect to meet Du Yan again. Thinking about how she had always encountered bad things since meeting this man, her expression It became more indifferent. "I really didn't expect to meet here. It seems that we are destined to be together." Du Yan said casually with a smile, but even he found that his words sounded a bit awkward. It felt like some crooked melon and cracked jujube. The promiscuous yamen molested the young daughter-in-law in the street. The only difference was that compared with the promiscuous yamen, their side was weak. The only one who could be called a helper, Chen Dahao, was being pushed to the ground and groaned, while the other party was instead The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the numbers of people are powerful. The young woman, who was already looking ugly, felt a layer of frost on her face after hearing Du Yan's words, while the young man next to her glanced at their faces with strange eyes, as if she was looking for something. "This person is your accomplice. If he is drunk, be stricter. If he walks around and bumps around, you will look good next time we meet." The girl named Xiaoyun said and let go of Chen Dahao's arm and gave it a strong squeeze. Pushing, Chen Dahao staggered towards Du Yan. Seeing Chen Dahao's chubby figure, Du Yan immediately stepped aside unfaithfully and groaned in pain again when he saw his body hit the wall. "They are not good things." The girl murmured in a low voice. When she saw the young man next to her staring at him, she blushed slightly and lowered her head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, let¡¯s go.¡± The young woman seemed to not want to stay here any longer and turned to the man. "Qiao, Mr. Qiao, the conditions here are not good, and there are too many idle people in society. You should go to our place. Xiaoyun is still young after all, and sometimes we can't take care of him." Although the man did not look at Du when he said this, Although he knew that the other party was not easy to mess with, and he seemed to be in a relationship with Du Zhen, he was talking about them. He knew the mayor, but it seemed that the relationship between him and Mayor Du was not very good, so he snorted and muttered in a low voice: "What are you pretending to be? How much money do you have?" Chen The good words immediately angered the girl. She raised her eyebrows and was about to get angry. But when she saw the man's glare towards her, she immediately shut her mouth, but looked at Du Yan and the others.The god became even more powerful. "Forget it, I won't bother you. After all, we are just here to take a look." The young woman said and glanced at Du Yan, who was still standing not far away, although others called him the mayor. , but she really didn¡¯t like the young mayor. Thinking of the arrogance of the girl next to him before, shouting on the street like a little bureaucrat, and seeing how he was now working with a drunken country man in the middle of the day. If you drink with a rich man, you won't be a good cadre at all. "Let's go." The young woman said calmly. Although it was just such a sentence, the two people around her took a step to both sides to make way for her. Du Yan looked at those people with some curiosity. He didn't know what this woman was doing in Daqing Township. Just when the three people had just walked to the door of the restaurant, several figures suddenly appeared at the door, followed by a very loud sound. He scolded: "Who is gathering people to make trouble in public places?!" If there was anyone who felt the most upset when he saw the police suddenly appearing at the door, it was Du Yan. Seeing Director Dou of the Daqing Township Police Station walking in with two joint defense officers, Du Yan had the urge to hit someone. He turned around and glanced in the direction of the restaurant's service desk, and saw Peng Jun's wife immediately covering her head. Hiding behind the scenes, he knew that this woman must be causing trouble. The new mayor got into a fight with someone in a restaurant during lunch, causing a commotion and attracting the police. Du Yan could think of how to make up this paragraph, but he didn't have time to argue with this woman at this time. He had to put the matter aside as soon as possible. Go down. Du Yan walked up in a few steps and said hello to Director Dou, who was being questioned by the three people who were obviously not locals: "Old Dou, come here." "Mayor Du!" Director Dou looked at Du Yan in surprise, At the same time, I started to murmur in my heart, why is Mayor Du here? "Director Dou, there was some misunderstanding between some guests here just now, and it has been resolved now," Du Yan said and asked lightly, "Did you receive the call from the police?" Hearing this, Du Yan seemed to be casual. After asking, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Lao Dou's head. Having received a call earlier, I heard that they were coming to the restaurant to call the police again, so Lao Dou immediately led a team over personally. Of course he was happy to have the opportunity to work for Peng Jun, but when he saw Du Yan was also in the restaurant, Lao Dou was already muttering. Listening to what he meant, it seemed that there were still things he didn't know about, so Lao Dou immediately said He thought that maybe he had accidentally been involved in the fight between the town leaders. Although the relationship between the leaders is not clear, the idea that Peng Jun is the mayor is almost universally known in Daqing Township! But as soon as Mayor Du blocked Deputy Secretary Peng¡¯s way, it can be seen that the relationship between the two people will never get better. After all, blocking someone¡¯s progress in the officialdom is like killing his wife and children, which will definitely attract hatred! But Mayor Du had to answer the question, and Lao Dou almost regretted it at this moment: "We received the alarm, and we don't know who it is, but they just like to make a fuss and make it seem like it's a big deal. In fact, Besides, the public security in the restaurant has always been good, and no one dares to make trouble here. " "Old Dou, what you said is wrong," Du Yan's smiling face suddenly sank, "What do you mean, no one dares to make trouble here? Is it okay to cause trouble in other places? Or is there some special reason why the restaurant is so safe?" Old Dou's face suddenly fell! He never expected that his casual words would be interpreted in this way by Mayor Du! And when I thought about it carefully, Lao Dou felt even more "thumped" in his heart! What is Mayor Du implying? At a small scale, it means that Cai Lai Restaurant received special greetings because of Secretary Peng's background. At a larger scale Old Dou felt agitated when he thought of this. Isn't this a hint at Cai Lai Restaurant or Secretary Peng's disapproval of the people in the town? Do social forces have an impact? What is Mayor Du doing? ! At this time, Lao Dou's vest was soaked with cold sweat. How could he not have expected that a call to the police would actually turn him into an unlucky guy between two gods? This completely offended one of them. But he can¡¯t afford to offend either of these two! Lao Dou's face turned red at first, then turned white, and then turned blue. For a moment, he even had the idea that "it would be great if he just fell down and didn't know anything." "Mayor Du, it was me who called the police." Peng Jun's wife finally couldn't bear it and pushed through the crowd and came over. She stared at Du Yan with an unkind expression. She originally wanted to take this opportunity to embarrass Du Yan, but what happened? I didn¡¯t expect that this little naughty guy would actually change things with just a few words, ¡°I called the police after seeing these people quarreling with you. Besides, didn¡¯t Boss Chen also bump into this young lady? If they don¡¯t comply, Unforgiving, ?Aren¡¯t we going to suffer? " After hearing this, and looking at the ambiguous look in Peng Jun's wife's eyes when she said that, it was as if he was deliberately taking advantage of others. Chen Dahao had the urge to bite Peng Jun's wife a few times. "Mayor Du, you "You may not know that our old Peng is not happy about me opening a restaurant when you first come here." Seeing that he had the upper hand, Peng Jun's wife immediately became more authoritative. "He said that he was the leader and it was inappropriate for his family to do this, but it can't be just because Since he is the leader, I have to stay at home. Besides, what is his salary enough for? It¡¯s not like I have to support this family. It's nothing to show up outside and have a good relationship with the police station. The police and the people also pay attention to the relationship between fish and water. We don't look up when we look down. Why can't Director Dou take care of us? "Speaking of which, Peng Jun's wife is indeed not a freeloader. As soon as the momentum came up, what she said was indeed watertight. For a while, even Du Yan couldn't help but secretly admire Peng Jun for finding a wife with a sharp mouth. "That's right. " Du Yan smiled softly. He looked back at Director Dou, whose face was still green and white, and suddenly said, "In this case, let's handle this matter in the normal way, Lao Chen." As he said this, he said to the man standing next to him. Chen Dahao waved, "Let's go to the police station with Director Dou and solve the problem in the normal way. " As he spoke, Du Yan's face suddenly darkened: "In addition, I came to the restaurant as the scene of the incident. According to regulations, I have the responsibility to assist the public security personnel in investigating the incident. Lao Dou, clean up the idle personnel, take the hotel witnesses to the police station, and notify her at the same time. Family members! " "ah? "Director Dou couldn't help shouting. Du Yan's order made him really want to die at this time! This Mayor Du was so unreasonable. In front of so many people, he really wanted to Are all the conflicts between the town leaders on the table? ¡°Wait a minute! "The man who had been standing behind the young woman suddenly stood up. He glanced at Du Yan, took out an ID from his pocket and handed it to Director Dou. "This is my ID. Please take a look. " Seeing the handwriting on the red ID card, Lao Dou's heart skipped a beat. When he opened the officer's ID card and saw clearly what was written on it, he felt like his head was spinning. "A lieutenant colonel! Standing in front of him This sturdy man who doesn¡¯t look very old is actually an army lieutenant colonel! ¡°Thank you for your cooperation, comrade lieutenant colonel. "Old Dou returned the officer's certificate to the young officer with a bitter taste in his mouth. When the people next to him heard his name, they even whispered. "Old Dou looked at Du Yan with almost pleading eyes. If there is any What makes him feel as unlucky as being caught between two gods in the county is to get into trouble with the army for no reason. Because of traditional and historical reasons, the army and the local area have always been two completely different systems. Once a dispute occurs with the army, even if it can be properly handled in the end, the people involved will not have good results. Although Daqing Township has not had many contacts with the army over the years, it is because it is in Pingling County. There is a long-term garrison force, so it has been involved for many years. Du Yan was also a little surprised. He did not expect this young man to be a soldier, but if he thought about it carefully, he could tell from his behavior and attitude. From his temperament, we can vaguely feel that what permeates his body is the kind of rigorous and angular aura that can only be developed through a long military career. ¡°Director Dou, we must return to the military camp immediately. I hope you can. Cooperate with my work. "The young lieutenant colonel's deep voice conveyed a tone that would never allow for questioning. This was a man who was used to giving orders, and the faint murderous flavor in this tone made Director Dou feel uncomfortable. It's like if he doesn't agree, it will lead to unexpected consequences. "Mayor Du, look at this" Lao Dou decided to hand over the problem. After all, Du Yanguan is the biggest among the people here, whether he agrees or not, it doesn't matter. Whatever consequences it will bring, of course, he, the "big guy", should be responsible for it. "It turns out to be a comrade in the army," Du Yan walked up to the young soldier, "Hello, I'm really sorry for the misunderstanding that just happened. I'm Daqing. Du Yan, mayor of the township, may I ask" "Hello, I am Zhao Youxun, and this is my sister Zhao Xiaoyun. "The young officer nodded. He introduced the girl next to him. After a slight hesitation, he continued, "This is Mr. Qiao, the boss of my sister Xiaoyun. This time I came to Pingling and stopped by the army to see it. Look at me. " Du Yan nodded slightly to a few people, but what made him a little strange was that both Zhao Xiaoyun and Mr. Qiao showed a slightly surprised and strange look after hearing his name. This look also aroused Zhao Youxun paid special attention to the expression on Mr. Qiao's face. At the same time, he also saw his sister's look of surprise and then disdain. This made him feel strange at the same time.He couldn't help but look at Du Yan seriously. Speaking of which, Du Yan's appearance does not look like that of a town mayor who is already at the formal level. His face is too immature, and people will always think that he is a student who is still in school. This even caused him to be blocked from the compound several times when he first became Li Peizheng's secretary by the county party committee guard who didn't know him yet, thinking he was a student from the county middle school wandering around. "I think since we all think this is just a misunderstanding, there is no need to go to the police station to continue the investigation." Zhao Youxun said to Du Yan. He could see that the mayor obviously had a conflict with the husband of the restaurant proprietress. Of course, I don¡¯t want to get involved in local official disputes. More importantly, as Mr. Qiao, I can¡¯t have anything to do with this kind of thing. Otherwise, no one knows whether it will be to Taihua or even some people in Hexi Province. People send wrong signals. "I don't think it's necessary." Du Yan knew that the matter should indeed end here. If the troops were involved, it would be impossible to follow his own will. Moreover, he could also see that the identity of Mr. Qiao seemed to be very important. In particular, it can be seen from the attitude of the lieutenant colonel named Zhao Youxun towards her that it is not just his sister's boss. Zhao Youxun nodded slightly to Du Yan, then he signaled to Mr. Qiao and followed the young woman out of the restaurant. For a moment, everyone in the restaurant couldn't help but look at the backs of the three people, until Du Yan coughed softly and were awakened. "Old Chen, it seems that we can have this meal later." Du Yan raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist and said with a smile to Chen Dahao, "How about I invite you to Liyuju in the county next week? Speaking of Liyuju The food is pretty good, and I know Boss Shen there, and he won¡¯t be vague about the cooking. " "How about that? I'll treat you when the time comes," Chen Dahao said nonchalantly. At this time, he was really thinking about having fun. Unexpectedly, an unfinished meal brought him and Mayor Du closer together because of this matter. Speaking of which, he not only thanked those outsiders. , even Peng Jun's wife was grateful. In front of so many people, Mayor Du stood up for him, and then he would really have a label with the word "Du" on his forehead. Although Chen Dahao is not familiar with the situation in the town, he also knows that Mayor Du, Secretary Peng and even the new Secretary Shi are not on the right track. Although Secretary Shi is the leader in the town, Mayor Du is Secretary Li's person after all. , and this green fruit wine can set up a shelf, which was Mayor Du's original idea. What's more, his second uncle Chen Laogan also admires Mayor Du very much. In this way, Chen Dahao knows that he doesn't want to follow Du Zhen. Not even long. And now, his relationship with Mayor Du is much more solid than others. Although Chen Dahao still doesn't know the so-called four irons in later generations, after all, he and Mayor Du fought with the police station together. He is not an outsider anymore. Until he walked out of the restaurant, Du Yan ignored Peng Jun's wife who was standing there. He walked to the street and looked back at Lao Dou who was following him. He showed a smile that made Lao Dou feel anxious, and then slowly walked towards him. Walk to the town committee office on the other side of town. Du Yan walked very slowly. He knew that what happened at the restaurant should have spread over there by now, but that was fine. He wanted to see how many people would jump out of such a commotion. Sure enough, before entering the courtyard of the town committee office, Du Yan saw Chen Siyou standing at the door of the courtyard anxiously looking from a distance. When he saw Du Yan, Chen Siyou immediately went up to him and whispered: "Mayor, Secretary Shi knows what happened at Zailai Restaurant just now, and" As he said that, Chen Siyou looked back at the courtyard, "And I heard from Director Zhai that Secretary Shi has already reported this matter to the county. " Du Yan. "Oh?" He raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's talk after we go in." Du Yan walked into the yard first. Just as he stepped up the steps before entering the door, he heard Peng Jun's unique thick-toned angry voice coming from the house. Du Yan raised his hand slightly to signal Chen Siyou to stop. "It's so outrageous! What is he going to do? To make the whole town know that the town committee and the town government are against each other?! To make the whole town panic?! What's the benefit of doing this to him?! Or is this just His purpose?" "Old Peng, calm down. You can make comments and point out mistakes about what happened, but don't make subjective guesses." Shi Changgeng seemed to be trying to persuade Peng Jun, but everyone could hear what he said. Obviously favoring and encouraging Peng Jun. This made Chen Siyou, who was standing next to Du Yan, secretly worried about Du Yan but also surprised. Who would have thought that the new team of Daqing Township has only been formed for less than a week, and it will start working in public! "Secretary Peng, you said that Mayor Du condoned and protected social elements in public fights, which is a bit of a misunderstanding," Lao Zhai said tentatively. After all, under Peng Jun's prestige over the past few years, he, the town organizer,"It's good to be able to stand up and speak out. "I think it's just a dispute. Besides, everyone knows Chen Dahao. He can make money with his brains, but it's still his duty." "If you can make money with your brains, you can do whatever you want regardless of the law. Come? Just because he has created benefits for the town, he should be tolerated and tolerated by this black sheep?" Peng Jun asked loudly, "Director Zhai, there is something wrong with your thinking." "I'm just expressing my opinion. "Secretary Peng, after all, the matter is not clear yet," Lao Zhai was also a little annoyed. Although he did not dare to directly contradict Peng Jun, his tone became much stiffer. "Besides, Mayor Du was there at the time, so it shouldn't be a problem." Something big has happened." "It hasn't happened yet. Even the police station has been dispatched. Is it necessary to kill someone?" Peng Jun's shouts can be heard outside the house. "Open interference and obstruction of public security personnel. The police were dispatched to deal with the problem normally, but what is more serious is that he made the conflicts between the town leaders public in front of so many ordinary people in a restaurant. I am very suspicious of his motives for this behavior! ¡± Hearing this! Du Yan, who knew about it, suddenly opened the door of the office and strode in: "On the contrary, Comrade Peng Jun, I also want to ask you, what are your motives for spreading the theory of contradiction just a few days after the new team was established? What is it?¡± Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Voting? vote! Peng Jun looked at Du Yan who suddenly appeared in shock, and stood up from the chair involuntarily. But then he felt that his action was a sign of weakness, so he let out a "hum" and looked at Du Yan with unkind eyes. Seeing this scene, except for Shi Changgeng who was observing playfully and Lao Zhai who was secretly anxious, several other members of the Standing Committee averted their eyes. Everyone knew that this was obviously the real situation since the two first and second leaders came to Pingling. In a sense, it was the first competition. If the transfer of Chen Siyou in the morning was just a test, then now Shi Changgeng and Peng Jun were taking the opportunity to directly compete with Du Yan. For a while, the atmosphere in the office became depressing. "Comrade Peng Jun, I would like to ask you, as a cadre, do you have to adhere to the style of seeking truth from facts, or can you just use your own subjective assumptions as the standard for judging things? Does this meet the requirements of a party member cadre?" Du Yan Peng Jun continued to question him coldly before he could speak. Since he was facing him directly, he had no scruples. What's more, the struggle between grassroots cadres is much simpler, more straightforward, without too many twists and turns. "You said that Chen Dahao is a member of society, and you characterized his behavior as a fight in public. I would like to ask you, Comrade Peng Jun, do you know what happened? Do you know the ins and outs of the whole thing? Or did you just listen to some A self-righteous judgment based on people's gossip? " Du Yan's stern voice echoed in the room, his eyes fixed on Peng Jun. He knew that Peng Jun must have thought this was a rare thing after receiving the call from his wife. He had a chance to kill his prestige, and there should be Shi Changgeng's hands and feet among them, otherwise Peng Jun would not have chosen to confront him so quickly and unscrupulously. After all, he had just arrived in Daqing Township. Conflicts with local cadres are certainly detrimental to oneself, but the county committee will definitely have a bad opinion of the Daqing Township cadres. But Peng Jun just did this. This only shows that Shi Changgeng has chosen to support Peng Jun unreservedly in this matter. Thinking about the information Chen Siyou revealed to him, Du Yan believes that a storm should Already at a moment that no one expected, a premature accident came. "Mayor Du, since you said that, what happened to you at Zailai Restaurant? Did you stop our police officers from investigating? And when Chen Dahao was having dinner with you, was it because he was drunk? There was a conflict between the wine and a young female guest from out of town. As for the reason for the conflict, I think it can no longer be proved. After all, the investigation of the comrades from the police station has been interrupted." Peng Jun's voice was still dull, but his words The hints revealed in it made several cadres next to him stunned. Some of them looked at each other secretly, and then they all saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes. Peng Jun's words seemed to be secretly accusing Chen Dahao of misbehaving towards the female guest. At that time, Du Yan happened to be having dinner with Chen Dahao. Thinking of this, several cadres couldn't help but think to themselves, this old Peng is It's cruel enough. Two people are eating and drinking. If one of them gets involved in molesting women, and the other prevents the police from investigating, what kind of story will this spread? Lao Peng is going to put the shit basin on Mayor Du's head. ! Looking at Peng Jun who sat down and looked at him after finishing speaking, Du Yan suddenly sighed secretly in his heart. Although Du Yan will definitely encounter many difficulties and resistance when going to work in villages and towns, and Du Yan has been prepared for these hardships, seeing Peng Jun's behavior at this time, Du Yan still felt a touch of helplessness. In the special officialdom environment in China, there are many cadres like Peng Jun occupying various positions, large and small. If such cadres have any specialty, it is struggle. In the eyes of these people, their life goal seems to be to constantly fight against different people, and in their understanding, struggle is the only proof that they can prove their role as cadres. The so-called struggle with heaven and earth and people The endless joy of fighting is probably the most direct reflection of this kind of person's inner thoughts. But Du Yan really didn't want to waste all his energy on such things that had no positive meaning at all. He looked at Peng Jun coldly. In his heart, Peng Jun had become a stumbling block in front of him. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to face the fact that in this environment, maybe We can really only use the most helpless method of "struggle" to remove obstacles on the way forward. "Comrade Peng Jun, since you mentioned Chen Dahao's drunken conflict with others, I suggest that Director Dou of the police station be asked to come and talk about it. As the handler of some situations, he has the most say. At the same time, I ask that this matter The investigation process was carefully recorded, and then compiled and reported to the county committee." Shi Changgeng was stunned. He did not expect that Du Yan would propose the suggestion of reporting to the county committee. In fact, after Peng Jun received the call from his wife, he told her.After that, he reported the matter to the county magistrate Guo Songlin, but Guo Songlin's reply to him was only four words: "serious and responsible." Of course Shi Changgeng knows the meaning behind these four words. If he is serious, he will naturally get this matter started. As for taking responsibility, it depends on who will take the responsibility. When Shi Changgeng thought about it, once this incident really became a problem, the reputation that Du Yan had just established in Daqing Township was bound to be severely damaged. Even if he was transferred because it was inconvenient just after he came down, his life would be postponed. It won't get better. However, Du Yan suddenly asked to take the initiative to investigate and report to the county committee. This made Shi Changgeng couldn't help but wonder, why did Du Yan dare to do this? Is there anything else she can rely on? Although he thought so, Shi Changgeng was still unwilling to give up this rare opportunity. After making a call to the police station, the office fell into silence, except for the "squeaking" of hot water from the kettle on the stove in the corner of the room. There was a sound of water vapor, and the office became eerily quiet for a moment. After a while, the door opened with the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and Dou, the elder of the police station, walked in. When he realized that several eyes in the room were directed at him at the same time, the old man who was sweating had already run away because of his anxiety. Dou, I feel like my collar is a little sticky. "Director Dou, I asked you to come here this time to report to the town committee what happened at Zailai Restaurant at noon. Don't have any worries," Shi Changgeng said slowly, as if he had no intention of saying this. He glanced at Du Yan who was sitting next to him, and with just this action, he believed that with his many years of experience as a policeman, Lao Dou should already know what to say, "No matter who or what is involved, we must seek truth from facts. Knowing what happened, he had to report to the county party committee leader. "Lao Dou's originally slightly red face turned slightly purple. He knew that things would not end so easily. As expected, he received the call from the town committee not long after he returned to the police station. Although the person who called the office was only Chen Siyou, the clerk of the town committee office, he also guessed what it would be. But he never thought that this matter would become such a big deal, and when he heard Secretary Shi said that he would report it to the county committee, he knew that he was really afraid of what would happen, and eventually got involved. "Okay, I will truthfully report what happened to the leaders of the town committee." Old Dou secretly gritted his teeth and sat down. Since he knew that there was no way to escape, he could only resign himself to his fate. However, when he bent down and sat next to Lao Zhai, he still glanced at Du Yan quietly. But what he saw on Du Yan's face was a calm and even somewhat relaxed expression. Although he didn't smoke, Du Yan picked up an unknown lighter from the table and started playing with it. Rolling and spinning uncontrollably, Du Yan skillfully opened and closed it continuously. This seemingly complex and smooth technique even aroused the interest of Lao Liu, the town's military minister sitting on the other side. Speaking of this kind of playing with lighters, Du Yan hadn't done it for "many years". Although he didn't smoke in his previous life, he liked new things. Once he saw a talent show on the Internet. After someone played several lighter tricks at the same time, he fell in love with this rather complicated trick. After a period of time, he became proficient in it. But since he woke up, he has neither the time nor the interest. He just didn't expect that he was bored for a while while waiting for Lao Dou. When he saw the lighter on the table, he couldn't help but pick it up and start playing with it. As the time rolled around, he seemed to see a familiar figure that he only remembered from time to time in his dreams standing in front of him, watching his performance attentively. When he realized the strange looks cast around him, he Suddenly woke up. "Director Dou, you can say it now." Shi Changgeng felt a little unhappy. He didn't expect that Li Peizheng's former secretary was still a playboy. Just from his dazzling way of flirting with lighters, You can imagine that this person is really a dandy. But then I thought about it, wouldn't this be better? The more he does this, the more he will appear to be frivolous, impetuous, and unusable. Thinking of this Shi Changgeng felt a lot more comfortable, and even his serious expression towards Lao Dou changed. He became much kinder, "Old Dou, I just asked you to talk about the situation. Just tell me in a matter-of-fact way. There is no need to carry the burden." Under Shi Changgeng's sudden serious and sometimes kind greetings, and also under the attention of several town standing committee members , Lao Dou had no choice but to bite the bullet and start telling the whole story. Old Dou tried his best to tell the story according to what he saw. Although because he was very close to the deputy town elder Xu, he heard from Old Xu over the past few days that the two newcomers had a good background, but of course Old Dou He didn't dare to take the risk of deciding which side to defect to at this time, so he really told the story of the matter in a matter-of-fact manner. As he narrated, several members of the Standing Committee had different expressions. Some looked at each other and communicated secretly, while others remained silent and unmoved.  When he talked about the lieutenant colonel named Zhao Youxun, the Minister of Military Affairs, Lao Liu, who had always seemed indifferent to this matter, suddenly interrupted him: "Old Dou, what do you think the surname of that lieutenant colonel was?" Zhao, my name is Zhao Youxun." Lao Dou nodded and smiled at Lao Liu, saying that he and Lao Liu had a good relationship, and they often played chess and drank together. After listening to Lao Dou's repetition, Lao Liu's face became a little strange. He glanced at Du Yan and continued to ask: "Are you saying that it was Lieutenant Colonel Zhao who offered not to pursue the case further?" When he said this, he He looked at Du Yan again. "Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Zhao had a talk with Mayor Du at that time, and" Lao Dou stopped and looked at Du Yan. "If you have anything to say, Lao Dou, just say it. Why are you so long-winded, Luo Li?" Lao Liu scolded Lao Dou impatiently, but everyone knew that he had this temper, and secondly, he had a good relationship with Lao Dou. , Lao Dou didn¡¯t take it to heart. "And it seems that the foreign female guest also knows Mayor Du, so let's forget it." Lao Dou finally decided to pour the beans out of a bamboo tube. Although he didn't want to offend Du Yan, he didn't want to do it inexplicably. Offended Shi Changgeng. Hearing Lao Dou mention that Du Yan might know the young woman from out of town, Peng Jun looked at Du Yan with something more in mind. Although I know that some things can't even be considered as catching wind and shadow, as long as someone thinks about it, it is enough to cause some kind of topic. The issue of work style has always been a major killer of cadres in their career. It may not matter to higher-level leading cadres, but for grassroots cadres, it often becomes a necessary medicine to seriously injure their opponents. However, although he was also looking at Du Yan, Lao Liu's eyes were a little different. He pondered for a while and then said to Shi Changgeng: "Secretary Shi, this matter involves active military personnel. I think we must be more cautious. Regarding the decision to report to the county committee, Do you think you should let it go first?" Shi Changgeng looked at Lao Liu with some surprise. He also knew that Lao Liu's proposal to postpone the report at this time was not to support Du Yan, but because it involved the army. Since things happened. It has something to do with the army. Although Lao Liu, as a member of the People's Armed Forces Department, usually doesn't care much about local affairs, once it concerns the army, he really has no choice but to ignore it. But when he thought of giving up an excellent opportunity because of this, Shi Changgeng felt that it was not worth it, and he was even more unwilling to do so. "Lao Liu, isn't that what you said? The troops also need to communicate with the local government. Besides, Director Dou also said that the lieutenant colonel surnamed Zhao was also wearing casual clothes and was with his relatives and friends. It shouldn't be What kind of mission is he performing? In this case, he should abide by local regulations. " Peng Jun looked at Lao Liu with some displeasure. He did not expect that things suddenly went so wrong. When he informed him, his wife She spoke in a hurry, and even though she made things clear in general, there were some things she didn't pay attention to and forgot to mention. "At least Peng Jun didn't know that it was the young woman's companion who proposed not to pursue the case further. Lao Liu picked up the cigarette on the table and lit one. Although he hadn't spoken yet, the look on his face had turned ugly. After taking two puffs, Lao Liu stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, and then said in a deep voice. : "Let me say it again, because the matter involves active military personnel, it should be handled with caution, and because the other party took the initiative to propose reconciliation, the matter is already obvious. If it continues to be entangled, it may cause inconvenience to many people, so I think this matter It shouldn¡¯t be reported to the county committee, that¡¯s my opinion.¡± After saying that, Lao Liu put the cigarette case in his hand on the table. Chang Geng was a little hard to make a decision for a moment. His eyes swept over the faces of the people at the table. When he saw the slightly encouraging look from Peng Jun, he finally made up his mind. "Then let's vote. After all, we are democratically centralized." Shi Changgeng smiled. He glanced at Du Yan next to him, thinking that this was fine. If he passed the vote, he would have to look at these Daqing Township cadres. How many opportunities will you choose to stand on your side? ¡°According to Shi Changgeng¡¯s recent observations, after Chen Laogan¡¯s resignation, several major figures in the Standing Committee still showed signs of moving closer to him. After all, he is the party committee secretary of Daqing Township and the squad leader of the Standing Committee. He has a huge innate advantage that others do not have. When Dou Zai, the elder of the police station, walked out the door, he felt bitter in his heart. He knew that no matter who it was, he had really offended someone in this room this time. "Those who agree to report this incident to the county committee, raise your hands." Shi Changgeng said calmly. Peng Jun was the first to raise his hand. He looked at Lao Ma, the town propaganda team sitting next to him. When he saw Lao Ma raising his hand, Peng Jun showed a smile. Then he leaned slightly and looked next to Lao Ma. Zhang Fengqi, the town organization section chief. When Zhang Fengqi raised his hand, a faint smile appeared on Shi Changgeng's face. He knew that he could say that he hadThe victory is already certain. Including the propaganda team leader Zhang Ma and the organization chief Zhang Fengqi, he already has at least four votes, and they are all four votes with high gold content and solid results. Peng Jun was obviously not satisfied. He wanted to defeat Du Yan in this first formal confrontation. At the same time, he also wanted to let Shi Changgeng see that even though he had been suppressed by Chen Laogan for several years, he was still in Daqing Township. Still has a big enough impact. So he looked at the only female standing committee member sitting across the table, Tie Fengying, director of the town's Agricultural Science Office. But what surprised Peng Jun was that Tie Fengying avoided his gaze and looked to the side in a panic, which made Peng Jun slightly unhappy. Although this did not affect the final decision, he was a little annoyed by the ignorance of the female director of the Agricultural Science Office who had been close to Chen Laogong before but now obviously had no backer. Lao Zhai looked anxiously at the people at the table. When he saw Shi Changgeng also raised his hand, he felt secretly bitter in his heart. He knew that Du Yan had obviously lost miserably in this confrontation. Although Tie Fengying did not raise her hand, but now that she thought about it, it was just an abstention. There were nine standing committee members in the Daqing Township Committee, and now it seemed that his side only had three votes, and The reason why Minister of Human Resources and Military Affairs Lao Liu chose to oppose reporting to the county committee was just because the matter involved soldiers. Once the matter had nothing to do with it, he would not specifically support Du Yan. Thinking of the way Lao Zhai looked at Du Yan with some pity, he believed that no one would take it lightly when faced with such a blow, let alone such a high-spirited young man. But what surprised him was that Du Yan didn't seem to care about the unfavorable situation in front of him. He picked up the unknown lighter and played with it silently. When he felt the pity look in his eyes from Lao Zhai, At this time, he raised his head and smiled at Lao Zhai, and then smiled at the other person sitting opposite. Lao Zhai looked at Du Yan's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat! Unexpectedly, Executive Deputy Mayor Liu Jiahui did not raise his hand, and Lao Zhai's heart suddenly twitched! Liu Jiahui is the deputy mayor who has been sent to work on a temporary basis. He has only been here for less than half a year. When he saw Liu Jiahui smiling back at Du Yan, Lao Zhai was even more moved. "Mayor Liu, what's your attitude?" Peng Jun asked Liu Jiahui with a smile. He was very polite to Liu Jiahui and knew that they were just here for gilding, but when he saw Liu Jiahui and Du Yan looking at each other and smiling, he A little bit worried. "I don't know much about the situation." With a gentle smile on his face, Liu Jiahui closed the notebook on the table and leaned back in his chair. "So Mayor Liu abstained from voting, haha," Shi Changgeng smiled, "Then we will continue to vote. Those comrades who disagree with the report will raise their hands." Lao Liu from the People's Armed Forces Department raised his hand first, followed by Lao Zhai. Looking at the two hands raised in the air, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Peng Jun's mouth. He glanced at Tie Fengying and saw that Tie Fengying lowered his head and didn't look at anyone. The corners of Peng Jun's mouth were already slightly curved. stand up. Suddenly, Peng Jun¡¯s lips froze! He was shocked to see Tie Fengying raise her head and then her hand! Peng Jun¡¯s eyes immediately flashed with ferocity. He stared at Tie Fengying fiercely and cursed this woman in his heart! He didn't expect that the director of the Agricultural Machinery Office, who had no support, would actually choose to support Du Yan at this time. Although she and Chen Lao Gang were relatively close before, since Chen Lao Gang went down, Tie Fengying has no support. , these days, she has paid no attention to anything except her agricultural machinery office. Peng Jun chatted with her several times, but she did not refuse. However, she never expected that Tie Fengying would suddenly rely on her at this time. To Du Yan! Four to four! Seeing this result, Lao Zhai couldn't help but feel excited. Even if he supported Du Yan this time, it was just a special case, and the opponent's votes were all valuable, but after all, he was not completely defeated in the first confrontation. "Mayor, it seems that this matter needs to be put aside for a while." Shi Changgeng smiled and said to Du Yan next to him. He was actually quite satisfied with the result. Although both parties had the same number of votes, the people who can vote are the key. Both the propaganda team leader Zhang Ma and the organization section chief Zhang Fengqi are powerful figures in the Standing Committee. On the other hand, the other party is much worse. Such a result is enough to make Shi Changgeng feel that he has an advantage in Du Yan's competition. . ¡°Secretary, I wish I hadn¡¯t voted yet.¡± A voice suddenly sounded. Looking at Liu Jiahui who was talking, Shi Changgeng thought for a while that he was hearing hallucinations. Liu Jiahui is still smiling, but this time his smile seems meaningful to others. "I just said that it is difficult to make decisions without understanding the situation. This is indeed my reason.?, but I think this is also the common reason among the comrades here. Since none of us are familiar with what happened, and active military personnel are involved, I think it is better for us to be more cautious. "As he spoke, Liu Jiahui slowly raised his right hand, "So I voted against reporting to the county committee. " Five to four! Winning! The office was silent, except for the sound of the kettle, no one spoke! Before the vote, many people thought that Du Yan would only lose not too badly this time, but who could come, unexpectedly at the beginning After a tie, suddenly due to the actions of deputy mayor Liu Jiahui, he unexpectedly came back to win! At this moment, not only Shi Changgeng and Peng Jun, but also Lao Zhai, who had experienced ups and downs, couldn't help but be stunned! , there was a sudden sound of braking in the yard! ¡°Comrade, who are you looking for? " Following Chen Siyou's inquiry, a loud voice sounded in the yard: "Hello comrade, is Mayor Du of Daqing Township here? Our leader invites you! " Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 14 Chapter 14 The Beauty has an Appointment (Part 1) The conversation coming from the courtyard made several people in the conference room stunned and looked at Du Yan. Many people know that in the early days, the military and local governments used to call superior leaders "chief". However, gradually, the word "chief" was used less locally. Except for some real senior leaders, few people in the local area anymore called their superiors. As the chief. "Chief", a noun with the characteristics of the times, has gradually become a special vocabulary with military characteristics. Du Yan didn¡¯t remember anyone he knew in the army, except for the Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Youxun who had just left, but he thought that Lieutenant Colonel Zhao would not be bored enough to settle scores in the future. When I walked out of the conference room, I saw a young soldier standing in front of a green off-road jeep in the middle of the yard. His strong build, short hair, and broad forehead made this young soldier look like he had been filed out with a file. granite statue. Although this young soldier had a straight back, his face was not serious and he was smiling. This gave Du Yan a good impression of him at first sight. In his mind, soldiers were naturally always serious. Just like Lieutenant Colonel Zhao, there always seems to be a clear sense of oppression. "Hello, I'm Du Yan, who are you" Du Yan asked the soldier. "I'm sorry, can I see your work ID?" The soldier stopped smiling and became serious. Du Yan took out his work ID from his pocket. After confirming it carefully, the soldier handed it to Du Yan with both hands. At the same time, he took out his own ID and handed it over. He stood at attention and saluted: "Report, Sergeant Sun Xiaopeng has been ordered to invite you to our army as a guest." "The report is over." Looking at this meticulous soldier, Du Yan became serious. He glanced at the childish face in the soldier's ID photo, but he didn't expect that this soldier who looked about the same age as him was already He is a veteran with four years of military service. "Did Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Youxun ask you to come?" Du Yan asked. He noticed that several pairs of eyes behind him were staring at him. "Haha, chief, you will know when you get there. Our chief will not reveal the information in advance." After the young sergeant named Sun Xiaopeng confirmed Du Yan's identity, he smiled again, which made Du Yan I couldn't help but think that maybe he was born with such a smile. But that¡¯s okay. Soldiers can already easily put pressure on ordinary people. If someone with a murderous look on his face really comes to invite him, maybe what those people behind him will think. From this point of view, Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Youxun is actually a very careful person and considers these small details very thoughtfully. "Mayor Du." Lao Liu from the People's Armed Forces Department came over. When he saw that he was from the army, he always had to come forward to coordinate. Behind him, Lao Zhai followed with a little worry. Sun Xiaopeng immediately saluted Lao Liu again. Du Yan noticed that Lao Liu seemed to be a little polite towards the soldier. After asking a few casual questions, Lao Liu smiled and said to Du Yan: "I am quite familiar with Lieutenant Colonel Zhao. Their troops and ours in Pingling are both military and civilian. After Mayor Du left, he asked me to ask Lieutenant Colonel Zhao. " Du Yan's eyebrows frowned invisibly. He could tell from Lao Liu's words. Hearing that since Lieutenant Colonel Zhao invited him, he had to obey him and go away. This made Du Yan a little unhappy. After all, Lao Liu's support for him just now was only due to military-civilian relations. From his current position It's evident in his attitude. "I still have some work to do. Why don't you go back first? I should be free at this time tomorrow. You can come over then. I'll welcome the comrades from the army." Du Yan said to Sun Xiaopeng in a leisurely manner. After saying that, he ignored the others who looked at him unexpectedly, turned around and walked into his office. ????????? Du Yan didn¡¯t mean to manipulate things intentionally, but because he thought he didn¡¯t have to do what others wanted. As a mayor, although he is just starting out in his official career, for a young man of only twenty-three years old, he is naturally very high-spirited. Although Du Yan was not complacent about this, it was precisely because he was young that he needed to establish enough prestige for himself. It was precisely because he looked young and bully that a local snake like Peng Jun dared to fight with him in front of him right after he arrived. If he were replaced by another older mayor, no matter how arrogant Peng Jun was, , and always have to look at the situation before deciding what to do. Du Yan's move was obviously beyond Sun Xiaopeng's expectation, but the smile on his face did not change. When Chen Siyou greeted him, he smiled and shook his head: "Thank you, no need. Our chief asked me to pick up Mayor Du." , I¡¯ll be in trouble if I can¡¯t complete the task, or I¡¯ll ask Mayor Du when he¡¯s free.¡± As he said that, Sun Xiaopeng straightened his back.?, just standing next to the military vehicle, looking at the door of Du Yan's office motionless. This scene made several people in the yard have different expressions. Lao Liu frowned tightly. If Lao Zhai hadn't winked at him, he would have chased Du Yan into his room. Looking at this scene, a smile appeared on Peng Jun's originally ugly face. Young people are young people, and they just got lucky and raised their tails after winning once? Look, Lao Liu must be offended now. After all, he is still young and ignorant. Du Yan, who was sitting in the office, was recalling everything that had happened at the just-concluded Standing Committee meeting. He didn't really care whether Lao Liu would have a problem with him because of this. In fact, he was thinking about Deputy Mayor Liu Jiahui. Du Yan had heard about Liu Jiahui, a temporary cadre who was sent from the city and was said to have some background. ¡°For these cadres who are simply gold-plated when they are decentralized to towns and villages, local cadres often stay away from them. First of all, it's just a one or two years of friendship at most. Secondly, there's no telling when we'll meet again as a superior. Of course, no one wants to offend easily. ¡°And cadres who hold temporary positions must also be knowledgeable. Except when it comes to their own work or interests, they usually won¡¯t get too involved in local affairs, and they won¡¯t easily choose sides in conflicts and struggles. "But Liu Jiahui did this, which made Du Yan have to pay attention to the deputy mayor. He didn't know why Liu Jiahui chose to support him. What was the special reason behind this support? While Du Yan was thinking about it, his fingers moved involuntarily, and then he found that he had brought the lighter when he came out. Looking at the burning flames, Du Yan couldn't help but think of Tie Fengying, director of the town's Agricultural Machinery Office. Tie Fengying's support for him was not surprising to Du Yan. After all, Tie Fengying needed a backer after Chen Laojie went down, and Peng Jun Shi Changgeng, who was already close, seemed to have a lot of chances to win before, so naturally he didn't care too much about Tie Fengying's vote. Coupled with Chen Laogan's influence, it was logical for Tie Fengying to choose to support him. However, Du Yan is not sure how firm this support will be. It probably depends on whether he can truly show his strength in the future Standing Committee meeting and compete with Shi Changgeng. The phone on the table suddenly rang, interrupting Du Yan's thoughts. He picked up the receiver, and Ding Bingxian's voice, which always seemed so calm and calm, came from the phone. "Xiao Du, I heard that something happened over there?" "Secretary Ding, have you heard about it? The news spread quickly." Du Yan said with a smile, whether it was because of his relationship with Ding Hongwei or because of For personal reasons, Du Yan respected Ding Bingxian, or more importantly, he regarded Ding Bingxian as his teacher who needed to respect and listen to his teachings. In fact, even before waking up from the dream, Du Yan had benefited a lot from Ding Bingxian, whether it was pure knowledge or world management. In this life, Ding Bingxian played an important role in the critical moment of his destiny, so in this life In Du Yan's mind, Ding Bingxian's relationship with him was different from his relationship with Li Peizheng. With Li Peizheng, it was more of a guest-host relationship. Even after he saved Li Peizheng, Du Yan was still cautious and would never be arrogant. But with Ding Bingxian, it was much more relaxed and casual. "Why don't good things go out?" I could tell that Ding Bingxian was laughing when he said this. "Your place is very lively now. It can be said to be a gathering of wind and clouds, hiding dragons and crouching tigers." Hearing Ding Bingxian's words, Du Yan's heart moved. , he asked softly: "Secretary Ding, are you familiar with the situation of Deputy Mayor Liu Jiahui?" "What, is there any news about Mr. Liu?" Ding Bingxian's seemingly casual words made Du Yan sure. , Liu Jiahui should not just have some background as people say, but he is probably the so-called second generation. This was really beyond Du Yan¡¯s expectation. He never expected that an inconspicuous Daqing Township would be full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers as Ding Bingxian said. "Secretary Ding, I would like to report to you a resolution just passed by the Daqing Township Committee." Du Yan's tone was slightly serious. He knew very well what attitude he should adopt in work and life. While listening to Du Yan's narration, Ding Bingxian remained silent. After listening, Ding Bingxian seemed to ponder for a moment and then said: "Your Daqing Township's decision is still very cautious. This shows that although your team has some contradictions, The general direction is still good. Xiao Du should pay attention to uniting all comrades who can be united." Speaking of this, Ding Bingxian's tone became slightly calmer. "It's still the same sentence I sent you before. Chinese people are too particular about being a person. In fact, sometimes it's better to be simple. It¡¯s not a bad thing. Xiaoyan, you have to remember that it¡¯s right to be high-profile and low-key, but sometimes it¡¯s important to be pragmatic, and it¡¯s also necessary to be pragmatic.¡± ¡°Thank you, Uncle Ding.¡±??Also changed the name. "There is something I want to tell you," Ding Bingxian continued, "Secretary Li may have to attend a training session at the Provincial Party School recently, and he will probably have to go for a while. You can take charge of this time yourself." Du Yan was slightly startled, but Still nodded in response. As for why the call came from Ding Bingxian instead of Li Peizheng, Ding Bingxian didn't mention it from beginning to end, and Du Yan didn't ask. As soon as I put down the phone, there was a knock on the door. Looking at Lao Zhai, who was hesitant to speak, Du Yan smiled slightly: "What, the sergeant hasn't left yet?" "He just stood there, motionless." Lao Zhai looked outside through the window. "This is not a solution. It's so cold that Minister Liu is going to get angry." "Well, I know," Du Yan picked up a document on the table and opened it to read. After a while, he raised his head again. "Director Zhai, do you also think that I am unkind and even irrational?" "Of course not." Lao Zhai immediately explained. Although he did have such thoughts in his heart, he would not say it out loud, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Although Mayor Du's actions were a bit excessive, after careful consideration, he really couldn't find anything wrong. After all, the army and the local area are two unrelated things. Although Lieutenant Colonel Zhao has a higher level, he can't use orders. methods to restrain local cadres. And although Du Yan's actions seemed to offend Lao Liu of the People's Armed Forces, everyone knew that apart from the particularity of this matter, Lao Liu had no reason to specifically support or oppose Du Yan. After all, according to discipline, even if Lao Liu has any thoughts about Du Yan, unless it involves the army, it is not convenient for Lao Liu to easily interfere in local work. There is a very strict disciplinary issue here. "Okay, let Siyou pour a cup of hot water for the sergeant. I don't want him to be sent to the ditch with his car because he's frozen." Duyan said, putting down the document. "Mayor, you are going" Lao Zhai was stunned for a moment and then understood. "I'll ask Siyou to prepare. By the way, do you want me to accompany you?" "This is to meet with comrades in the army, not When you enter Weihu Mountain, you need to bring bodyguards," Du Yan joked. When he saw Lao Zhai smiling and then looking back at the door, Du Yan couldn't help but secretly shake his head. This Lao Zhai is a little more cautious. , but sometimes it seems too forward-thinking. Taking the hot water handed over by Chen Siyou, Sun Xiaopeng drank it with a smile. When he saw Du Yan coming out, he straightened up again, as if waiting for Du Yan to speak at any time. "Let's go, Comrade Sergeant," Du Yan said with a smile to Sun Xiaopeng. He said that he liked this young soldier who looked tough and tough. Although he followed the discipline of soldiers strictly abiding by orders and completing tasks, he did not appear stiff. On the contrary, there is such a spiritual energy coming out from time to time. Sun Xiaopeng¡¯s driving skills are also very high. The small town committee just turned the car around and drove out of the yard. When Du Yan opened the door to the hospital, he saw Peng Jun looking out of the house through the car window, but he did not see Shi Changgeng and Liu Jiahui. The military vehicle was speeding along the road, and it could be seen that although Sun Xiaopeng was still smiling, he was actually not as relaxed as he appeared. In order to rush for time, he did not take the highway, but cut in directly from a small road. The superior performance of the military off-road vehicle was fully brought into play under his skillful driving. While trying to remain as stable as possible, the military vehicle sped out of the town of Daqing Township. The military vehicle quickly entered a mountainous area. Before coming to Daqing Township, Du Yan saw from some introductions that there was a long-term garrison near Daqing Township, but he didn't pay attention at the time. At most, he thought it was during the New Year's Day and military-civilian get-together with the troops. Only then could I communicate with the local garrison, but I didn't expect that less than a week after arriving in Daqing Township, I would already have contact with them, and in such an unexpected way. The military vehicle was driving along the mountain road. Du Yan noticed that the road was not only solid and smooth, but also very wide. It was obviously beyond the level of ordinary township roads. Except for one or two military vehicles that occasionally passed by, no other vehicles were seen on the road. This made Du Yan realize that this road should be specifically leading to Sun Xiaopeng's army. Sure enough, after bypassing two mountain ridges, we saw a dark green building in the distance. Still far away, we could see the first wall made of barbed wire and the eye-catching hanging on it. "Military restricted area" sign. Even though Sun Xiaopeng was the driver, the sentry at the door carefully checked Du Yan¡¯s ID and called to confirm before letting him go. After entering the military camp, Du Yan had a new feeling. Looking at the neat rows of barracks and the soldiers coming in and out, he felt a sense of strict order.The breath hit my face. Speaking of which, although there are many rumors about the lack of discipline in the army in later generations, it is only when you are actually in the military camp that you will find that the natural pressure cannot be escaped. The car stopped in front of a building. To Du Yan's surprise, Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Youxun was already standing on the steps waiting. Seeing Du Yan getting out of the car, Zhao Youxun walked down the steps and extended his hand: "Hello Mayor Du, I'm so sorry for inviting you here so presumptuously. " Although Zhao Youxun's attitude was not very cordial, he was very polite. Although he was higher than Du Yan in terms of rank, the military and land were not under the same jurisdiction. This is quite reasonable. "We sent people over just after Lieutenant Colonel Zhao broke up. Do we still need to launch an army to hold him accountable? If that happens, I will turn around and run away immediately." Du Yan asked while shaking hands. He was really surprised why Zhao Youxun came to him. If he said It is naturally unlikely that he is refusing to give up because of what happened at noon, but it is even less reliable to say that Zhao Youxun wants to take the opportunity to make up the relationship. After all, it is just a small misunderstanding, and he can become a lieutenant colonel at a young age, which shows that Zhao Youxun also It¡¯s not easy, there¡¯s no need to lower your body to reach that point. "Mayor Du is very humorous." Zhao Youxun looked at Du Yan with a playful and inquiring look, as if he was very interested in him. "It's a friend of mine who wants to meet you, but because of something special, The situation is not very convenient, so I can only ask Mayor Du to come to the army." After hearing Zhao Youxun's words, Du Yan couldn't help but flash the figure of Mr. Qiao, whom he had met several times. However, even though he thought so. , but he really couldn't figure it out. If Mr. Qiao wanted to see him, for what reason? ¡°Could it be that he was right? Because of the unhappiness he caused several times, Mr. Qiao, who had a high profile, really wanted to come to investigate? Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 15 Chapter 15 The Beauty has an Appointment (Part 2) Accompanied by Zhao Youxun, Du Yan walked up to the second floor and saw Zhao Xiaoyun standing there at the top of the stairs. When meeting Du Yan, Zhao Xiaoyun did not hide his bad impression of him, but still looked so cold. Except for nodding his head as usual at the beginning, he turned around and led the way without talking to Du Yan. Zhao Youxun chatted casually with Du Yan along the way, but for some reason, Du Yan always felt that although Lieutenant Colonel Zhao was polite, there was always a vague sense of alienation in his demeanor. He stopped and knocked at the door of a room. Behind the door, Zhao Xiaoyun walked in with Du Yan. Meeting Mr. Qiao again gave Du Yan a different impression than before. Standing in the room, Mr. Qiao was wearing a plain cotton dress. The excellent elasticity of the dress fully highlighted her mature and curvy curves. Her face, which was unusually beautiful without any makeup, always looked so beautiful. She was cold and cold, as if no big deal would attract her attention. Her hair was casually picked up and tied up with a wooden hairpin, which gave off a faint sense of laziness. Du Yan could tell that she was a well-educated woman with a good life, but for some reason, Du Yan always felt a touch of loneliness from her. "Mr. Qiao, Mayor Du is here." Although Zhao Xiaoyun introduced it as a routine, Du Yan always felt that there was a sense of sarcasm in her tone, and he didn't know if he was being too preoccupied. Then Du Yan felt a little funny. Maybe it was because he seemed to be in conflict with this girl and nothing happened after several meetings. "Mayor Du, I'm sorry to ask you to come all the way," Mr. Qiao smiled lightly, and greeted Du Yan politely but with a touch of distance. However, he looked at Du Yan from the moment he walked in. Slightly softer, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Qiao Luowei," she stretched out her white and delicate hands and continued, "I am Jiayi's sister-in-law." Du Yan was slightly stunned when he shook hands with her, although this Mr. Song had some conjectures, and because of Zhao Youxun, he thought of Song Jiayi's use of troops to destroy the "glorious" place. He also thought that Mr. Qiao might have something to do with Song Jiayi, but he never thought of this beautiful young man. The woman will be Song Jiayi's sister-in-law. Judging from her age, she should be younger than Song Jiayi. Of course, Du Yan also knows that in some families with special status, the age gap is not an important factor in the first place. The early revolutionary ancestors, whether because of the needs of the revolutionary cause or purely out of personal interest, generally had a relationship or even a relationship. There are several marriages with a big age difference between her and hers. This situation is not surprising for such a family. But Du Yan remembered that Li Peizheng seemed to have said that Song Jiayi should be the eldest grandson of the Song family? Logically speaking, it is unlikely that Li Peizheng would even get this kind of thing wrong, so how could this Mr. Qiao be Song Jiayi's sister-in-law? However, although Du Yan had doubts in his heart, he reacted quickly on the surface, so after being stunned for a moment, he smiled and said: "Hello Mr. Qiao, I really didn't expect this. I didn't treat Mr. Song well when he came to Pingling before. This time, Mr. Qiao can come to our Pingling. It's really a welcome one." Qiao Luowei looked at Du Yan quietly. She was thinking that Song Jiayi would not hesitate to use the power of his family and even some factions to mainly focus on Pingling in Taihua City. I don¡¯t know how sure it is to launch such a huge project in Ling, a place that many people are not optimistic about, and how much it has to do with this humble town mayor. "Jiayi admires you very much. He has said more than once that he gained a lot from his trip to Taihua and found a great talent." Although Qiao Luowei said it politely, she couldn't hide the alienation and condescension in it. She seemed to be Even though Du Yan didn't care much about the overlooking tone, it still made him feel slightly unhappy. "What kind of talent am I? I just worked hard at the grassroots level for a period of time. I have seen and heard a lot, so I naturally know what the people in Pingling or Taihua need." Du Yan's expression became calm. In fact, since knowing Song Jiayi's identity, although he has become more interested in the eldest grandson of the Song family, because he knows his identity, he has become more interested in seeing Song Jiayi again in the future. confidence. From Song Jiayi's words, demeanor and ruthless deeds, Du Yan can be sure that Song Jiayi is not the kind of loser in a wealthy family who can't stand up to the wall. Behind his seemingly arrogant actions, there is actually a very careful thinking. This made Du Yan believe that with Song Jiayi's keen sense of smell, coupled with the analysis of economic trends that he had previously revealed to him that had proven successful in later generations, it was impossible for Song Jiayi or even the power of the Song family to fail to see too much. China and Hexi Province will play a leverage role in promoting the mainland's economy in the future. "The so-called struggle, although the struggle is for power, in the end what is fought for is still the benefits obtained in exchange for power. From now onLook, the direct expression of this interest is money. Because of this, Du Yan firmly believes that with his own emergence and promotion, Taihua, Pingling, and ultimately the three towns of Pingling, mainly Daqing Township, will be the hubs in the future economic development path, and this is also the key to the future economic development. The key to the inland economic pipeline that has not yet emerged. Perhaps Pingling will not become a great economic take-off place, but if it is used as a huge logistics source to promote the economic development of the mainland, then a small county town can also become a lever for the entire economy, as Archimedes said. That fulcrum of the earth! Because of this, in Du Yan's mind, he does not regard the Song family as a noble person who can make him prosperous. Therefore, although the Song family is a behemoth that cannot be touched by people of his level, on the contrary, in his mind , the relationship between the Song family and him was just to use each other to achieve the goal in his mind. Therefore, in response to Qiao Luowei's obviously condescending tone, which seemed to regard him as recruiting subordinates, Du Yan just smiled casually. "Mr. Qiao is too polite. Jiayi and I are friends, and we are destined to be together." Du Yan's attitude changed slightly. He had to let the people of the Song family understand that he was not their subordinate. This is very important to Du Yan. ¡°After all, I am now a member of Li Peizheng¡¯s side, which means that I am indirectly a member of Qu Xiangshan, deputy secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee. Speaking of which, the domestic political arena has a stubbornness towards the concept of circles that is not found in other countries. Once a person enters a certain circle, he cannot easily leave it unless necessary. This has nothing to do with feelings and morality, but more to do with the fact that once you leave, you will be regarded as an enemy by the people in your previous circle. For Du Yan now, the status of the Song family is too lofty and far away, and it is simply beyond his reach. Unless the Song family can immediately transfer him away from Pingling, or even away from Taihua, as long as he remains in Taihua. Hua is bound to become a thorn in the side of some people. In the eyes of others, even if the Song family has a good relationship with some officials in Taihua City, or even belongs to the same faction, after all, they have no affiliation with each other and are somewhat different. And if Du Yan directly defected to the Song family at this time, in the In the eyes of many people, he will be regarded as the kind of villain who climbs high branches to find support. Not to mention that Qu Xiangshan will not tolerate it, even Li Peizheng will be disappointed with him and even have opinions about him. After all, people like this are generally disliked in official circles. At this time, relying on the Song family will not bring any practical benefits to Du Yan, and will only make things worse. More importantly, Du Yan cannot allow himself to be bound by the Song family. Although it may sound arrogant or even arrogant, in Du Yan's heart, he believes that once his plan is really implemented, Then the relationship between him and the Song family, or at least some people in the Song family, might be collaborators. Du Yan¡¯s attitude surprised Qiao Luowei. Although he didn¡¯t have a good impression of Du Yan, Qiao Luowei was very aware of Song Jiayi¡¯s ability. Unlike other families who either live and die in drunkenness or just rely on family power to make money easily, Song Jiayi is very arrogant at heart, so arrogant that sometimes he would rather put in more effort than prove it with his ability. Of course, this does not mean that Song Jiayi does not use family resources, but he often only uses certain shortcuts or information about changes in national economic policies that he can use the family's conditions to familiarize with in advance. In this regard, compared with other family members, , Song Jiayi seemed too different. But for such an arrogant person, after returning to the capital this time, he mentioned a secretary in a county below a prefecture-level city more than once, which is surprising enough. But what is even more unexpected is that Song Jiayi actually reconsidered the previous suggestions made by some Capital University economics professors, and at the same time began to adjust the plan to take advantage of the central government's cross-provincial economic bridge strategy to promote several Song families in the mainland. major projects. This makes many Song family members, including Qiao Luowei, feel strange. They must know that the professors who proposed those inland projects can be said to be the Song family¡¯s think tanks in the economic field. Some of them can not only propose corresponding countermeasures based on the policies formulated by the country, They can even have some influence on these policies through their reputation and status in the domestic economic circle. It was precisely because of this adjustment that Qiao Luowei made this trip to Pingling. What Qiao Luowei didn't think about was that the Secretary Du whom he saw and had heard about had not only become Du Zhen Long, and from the beginning, he did not leave a good impression on himself. Now hearing that Du Yan seemed to be getting closer intentionally, but actually showed a distance, Qiao Luowei looked at Du Yan curiously. "If other people had such an opportunity to join the Song family, especially if they were recruited by the core members of the Song family, they would probably??I was overwhelmed with joy, but this was not the case with this young mayor. Maybe he was just pretending and waiting for a price? Qiao Luowei, who thought this way, then denied his idea while eating. Du Yan seemed very calm from the beginning to the end, and did not appear to be arrogant and respectful. On the contrary, as the topic deepened, Qiao Luowei gradually discovered that this little The small department-level mayor is not an easy person to deal with, and can even be said to be a bit hateful! "Mr. Qiao, the coastal development is rapid, but the economic gap between the mainland and the mainland is also widening. It is an inevitable trend to utilize various resources in the mainland and develop the mainland economy at the same time. The conditions in many places in the mainland are actually very good, at least in In terms of heavy industry, it can be compared with the three eastern provinces. " After Du Yan finally drank the wine offered by Zhao Youxun, he tried his best to suppress the discomfort in his stomach and said to Qiao Luowei that this was a rare and good opportunity for him. Qiao Luowei's arrival has proved that his previous speculation that the Song family wanted to enter the mainland through the inter-provincial economic bridge policy was correct. In this case, when it comes to Xiao Du's one-third-acre land, according to the principle that this mountain is mine, this one is mine. As the old saying goes, a tree is planted by me, and of course it has to be plucked by geese. Qiao Luowei listened to Du Yan's words with great interest. She found that the small town mayor's slightly high-spirited look when he mentioned these things that were almost related to the highest level of macroeconomic development seemed to be something she had seen before. of economics authorities in some universities. It¡¯s just that Qiao Luowei knows that under the sacred halo of those authorities, some and more represent the purposes of various interest groups that have become somewhat large-scale. And for the purpose of their respective groups' high voices, these authorities are also rewarded with various benefits that are not on the table, but what is the purpose of this department-level town mayor? If it was to gain political achievements and make progress, then why did you give up a great opportunity before? "Mr. Qiao, since the country will eventually promote policies to inspire the development of the mainland, if a series of related projects can be promoted in advance before then, when the country's mainland policy is rolled out, it is natural to consider which places have already provided better services in advance. The conditions, especially those related to transportation, raw materials, and heavy manufacturing and processing turnover areas, the convenient conditions of such places will become an accelerant for the development of the mainland at all stages, allowing many things to be done with twice the result with half the effort. I think the country must always consider whether If there are ways to improve efficiency, there are areas that can provide more conditions, and no one will have to spend more money to start from scratch. " When Du Yan said this, he showed a smile that didn't seem to be scheming. He knew. That's about it. In front of Mr. Qiao, he certainly won't point out some places that deliberately waste national resources in order to gain political achievements or purely for personal gain. But now that he has mentioned it, I want to come to this core of the Song family. The character should know the meaning of his words very well. Qiao Luowei picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of boiled water. No one asked her to drink the bottle of Wuliangye on the table. This treatment made Du Yan envious. Then she asked lightly: "So Mayor Du , What kind of local conditions do you think are suitable to become the key to promoting the economic development of the mainland? " Hearing her words, Du Yan felt happy, and the job was here. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Mr. Qiao is not happy "Mr. Qiao, it's not really up to me to answer this. I think what kind of conditions are needed? Mr. Qiao and Jiayi should already have a rough plan. For Pingling or Taihua, it's just about turning these things into reality. Of course All I can do now is change Daqing Township." Du Yan picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Speaking of which, he didn't mean anything special, but Qiao Luowei happened to take a sip of water just like this. In the eyes of others, Du Yan's action always gave people some kind of hint. "At least Zhao Xiaoyun, who was sitting next to her, had her eyebrows furrowed. If Qiao Luowei hadn't said anything and there was her brother next to her, she would have slapped the table at Du Yan. "Mayor Du, you seem to be very confident in yourself." Qiao Luowei took a sip of water and looked at Du Yan calmly. She had a strange feeling about this little bureaucrat, except for the bad impression Du Yan gave her before. Although she felt a little disgusted, she felt more that this person was something she couldn't see through. Because she grew up in a special family, Qiao Luowei learned to read people from a very early age. She can see the inner thoughts of some people, even if some of them are deeply hidden. Although some people can only flatter her clumsily, there are also some people who will play hard to get and appear in front of her in a self-righteous way. But in the final analysis, the real purpose of these people is still to attract her attention. But the young man in front of him was a little strange. Although he gave up such a good opportunity so easily before, it still couldn't arouse Qiao Luowei's curiosity. In fact, if Du Yan behaves too eagerly, Qiao Luowei will feel inferior in his heart, and may even think that Du Yan is just a short-sighted man who wants to climb high. But even so, Qiao Luowei just thought that this little bureaucrat was still aware of current affairs, and when she thought about it, maybe it was just Du Yan's showmanship. In the end, he would choose to join her, after all, he would have the opportunity to catch up with the Song family. This big tree, let alone a small official like Du Yan, even the princes in certain places may not have this idea. But now it seems that Qiao Luowei is starting to have some new ideas. She still believed that Du Yan's pretentious behavior was just to attract her or the Song family's attention, otherwise he wouldn't be so deliberately befriending Song Jiayi. Although it sounded from Song Jiayi's story that his contact with Du Yan was just a coincidence, Qiao Luowei didn't believe that it was that simple. When Song Jiayi himself mentioned Secretary Du, although he said it lightly: "He is an interesting person." Qiao Luowei naturally knows Song Jiayi very well, so she is even more aware of Song Jiayi's seemingly casual but arrogant nature. To be called "interesting" by Song Jiayi shows that Secretary Du is not simple. "Mayor Du, do you think Daqing Township can afford to be the focus of provincial and even national construction projects?" Qiao Luowei asked, "Based on the current situation I have seen, let alone Daqing Township, it is Pingding Ling doesn't meet the conditions you mentioned, so where does your confidence come from?" When asked this, Qiao Luowei's tone gradually became serious, even questioning, she must be sure that this young man How reliable are what people say? In fact, it was precisely because she knew Song Jiayi's plans and overly grandiose ambitions that she did not hesitate to travel a long distance to Pingling. She had to see with her own eyes what Song Jiayi regarded as possible. What was so special about the place that brought the perfect opportunity to the Song family? As for meeting Du Yan, it was just a side event of her trip. However, Du Yan's confident words caught her attention, and she was sensitively aware that Du Yan's words had vaguely pointed out the Song family's intentions in this major national economic decision, which surprised Qiao Luowei. She didn't believe that Du Yan, a small town mayor, could know the central government's policies in advance. Even some high-level officials were still looking at the country's upcoming inland development strategy in a fog, and many people failed to see the real substance. exist. "Mr. Qiao, don't say that even Daqing Township and Pingling don't have this condition now," Du Yan said bluntly, "In my opinion, Taihua City is the one that can really play this role." Hearing Du Yan's words , Zhao Xiaoyun, who was sitting next to her, finally couldn't help but let out a contemptuous "hum". Although she was glared at by her brother afterwards, there was still an obvious ridicule on her face. "Mayor Du is very ambitious." Qiao Luowei slowly put down her cup. She had already decided to get up and leave. In her opinion, there was still no difference between this little bureaucrat and others. It was just a sign of going around in circles. He is different and therefore he is on the market, and it seems that he is more shameless than others, actually asking for an official position so blatantly. "I say Taihua, just from a practical point of view. In fact, from my personal point of view, if Taihua is to develop, Pingling is the key, and Daqing Township is even more important."The key to ?. "Du Yan also saw the impatience on Qiao Luowei's face, but he was not in a hurry. After knowing Qiao Luowei's identity, he had determined that what he had been planning since he woke up from the dream should be there this time. "Mr. Qiao, the coastal economy does still have great potential. Maybe it will always be the main factor driving our country's economy in the next twenty years. But what about twenty years from now, or even ten years from now?" The huge economic gap between the east and the west is not only an obstacle to national development, but may even become a major factor affecting national stability. Don¡¯t forget, we have been saying that the widespread gap between rich and poor in the world is why there is a North-South dialogue mechanism. But if our country continues to develop in such an unbalanced way, who can guarantee that there will not be a problem in our country in a few decades? Is there an East-West dialogue in the country? " Du Yan picked up the wine glass and took another sip. The spicy wine made his throat slightly feverish, but it also aroused a passion in him. This passion was something he had experienced in his dream, and it is still the same now! "We all know that the mainland has It is not only huge resources, but also a deep industrial foundation. Not to mention other places, Taihua City alone has at least four or five large ministerial-level enterprises. These are huge wealth left over from the development period of my country's heavy industry. ," Du Yan said slowly, and when he saw Qiao Luowei picking up the water glass again, he secretly laughed. "I told Jiayi that these enterprises in Taihua are a cornucopia of treasures, but now whether it is Taihua or In Hexi Province, people are begging for food everywhere with this cornucopia. Isn't this ridiculous? " "Mayor Du, you are too Chinese, so you naturally think that your hometown is the best. But as far as I know, there are many mainland cities with conditions like Taihua. Why do you think that Taihua will definitely become the role you mentioned? " Qiao Luowei asked slowly. Du Yan's words aroused her interest. Although her opinion of this little bureaucrat has not changed, she had to admit that, whether from a family perspective or a purely professional perspective, Du Yan's words hit the key point of something very aptly! In fact, some of the authorities in the economic field whom Qiao Luowei knew, as well as several of her teachers at Jinghua University in the capital, have already raised the issue. Regarding the idea of ??promoting the economic development of the mainland as early as possible, one of the professors from Jinghua University, who was highly respected by Qiao Luowei, put it bluntly in his research report: "Promoting the economic development of the mainland is of course for the sake of the country's overall economy. Progress is more about maintaining the balance of the national economic level. Otherwise, in a few decades, the poor will become poorer and the rich will become richer. For our country, it will not only hinder our normal development, but also hinder our normal development. It may even lead to bigger social problems. At that time, there may be certain situations that no one wants to see! "Although Qiao Luowei knew that these controversial things in the report could not be published publicly in the end, she knew that it had indeed attracted the attention of the highest level of the country. But what she did not expect was that today, a small bureaucrat in a township would Hearing these views again, it can even be said to be more radical! "Mr. Qiao, this is exactly what I want to say," Du Yan said, picking up the cup but then putting it down again, but his eyes glanced at the bottle of boiled water in front of Qiao Luowei. Glass jug: "Mr. Qiao, please pass it to me. " Qiao Luowei was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand, but Zhao Xiaoyun next to her rushed in front, picked up the kettle and walked to Du Yan. " Watching Zhao Xiaoyun murmur softly while pouring water, a smile appeared on Du Yan's face , but in Zhao Xiaoyun's eyes, this smile looked awkward. "Mr. Qiao, let's take this boiled water," Du Yan slightly raised the almost full water glass and motioned to Qiao Luowei, "In the eyes of many people. It is tasteless and worthless, but in the eyes of those who need it, maybe a glass of water can change a life. " Speaking of this, Du Yan saw Zhao Youxun, who had been silent except for a few words when he started drinking, was slightly startled, and then nodded slightly as if it was not easy to notice. "There are many cities with conditions like Taihua, but with There are not many cities like Taihua that have the potential to become a resource hub in the mainland. Even if there is the same thing, just like this boiled water, different people have different concepts, and more people cannot see the key factors in it, but this also creates a very good condition. I remember the great man also said However, you can paint newer and more beautiful pictures when you are poor. I believe this is why Jiayi came to Taihua. " Du Yan's last words made Qiao Luowei's eyes slightly raised, and a pair of eyes that always seemed to be hidden behind a light mist fell firmly on Du Yan's face, while Du Yan showed no signs of weakness with the Song family. The young lady looked at each other. "Du Yan's words did not so much cause Qiao Luowei's displeasure as they touched a sensitive nerve in the Song family. Even Song Jiayi, who was proud of his abilities, had to admit it. After all, he is relying on the huge background power of his family, and for theseFor the children of the Se family, in addition to relying on this power, they also use their unbalanced grasp of information concepts in exchange for huge wealth. This is true for other families, and the Song family is the leader among them. Song Jiayi appeared in Pingling precisely because of Taihua, an outdated concept of local government leadership in inland cities, and Taihua's huge potential. But now it seems that a man who is no less inferior to the eldest son of the Song family in terms of ideology and awareness of future development has unexpectedly appeared, and this man is just a small township cadre. "Daqing Township is a good place," Du Yan said with emotion. "Many people think it is a three-way town. But if you think about it, you will know that it is precisely because it is a three-way town that it is the key link between various places. As long as there are convenient In terms of transportation, Daqing Township can be completely connected with places like Liuliji and Shuangdui Town. These three towns and one place will become the key to connecting Pingling and neighboring counties, and then can become the bridge between Taihua and Linchi, and finally Become a hub for resource allocation in Hexi Province, and even between the inland provinces and the eastern provinces." Speaking of this, Du Yan looked at Qiao Luowei and said word by word, "Mr. Qiao, all I want is to drive this huge chain. As for the first driving force, you should know better than me what to expect. " "So you have to vigorously develop Daqing Township, and then let Daqing Township drive the entire Pingling, and ultimately Taihua City?" Although her tone was still calm, her eyes had changed vaguely. The look she was looking at Du Yan was no longer the casual look before, but more serious. "You know that if you do this, maybe you will just do it for others in the end." Wedding dress? You must know that it will not take too short time for Daqing Township to develop as you said. By then, you may have left Daqing Township long ago." When she said this, a look suddenly appeared on her face. He smiled, "Of course, maybe you will still be in Daqing Township by then, but if that's the case, no matter how great your achievements are in the future, it probably won't have anything to do with you." Zhao Xiaoyun, who was sitting next to him, looked at Qiao in surprise. Luo Wei, she didn't expect that Mr. Qiao, who was always serious, would show such a rare smile to this little bureaucrat, so she couldn't help but glance at her brother. Du Yan was in a daze for a moment. He didn't expect that Mr. Qiao would show such a naughty smile, but he didn't dare to have any random thoughts. On the contrary, he secretly warned himself that he would say almost everything he needed to say. Even some things that should not be said had to be revealed in order to seize the opportunity. "Actually, sometimes that's how things are done. Things get done when they are done. Why does success have to be mine?" Du Yan also smiled lightly, raised the glass of water in his hand and took a sip. But then he tore off his calm coat, revealing a greedy and profiteer face: "So Mr. Qiao, we in Daqing Township need to make great efforts to complete a lot of work, such as our specialty green fruit wine , such as Shuangdui's famous handicrafts and Liuliji's pottery crafts with a history of more than 400 years. These are our wealth, but we need financial support for this, Mr. Qiao, please see if you can help us. A bank loan? In addition, you also know that once the country officially launches inland development projects in the future, the earlier the enterprise groups invest, the more favorable local preferential policies they will receive. So, see if you are with us. I'm investing a sum of money in Daqing Township. Don't worry, you will never lose money." Looking at Du Yan's sudden change of expression, I couldn't help but slightly change my view of him because of his words, "Success must be mine." Qiao Luowei immediately judged him in her heart: "This is a typical profiteer and petty bureaucrat!" Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Big Plan Qiao Luowei did not immediately agree to Du Yan, but proposed to first examine the feasibility of the "one place, three towns" development concept that Du Yan had repeatedly proposed before making a decision. Du Yan agreed with Qiao Luowei's statement. He could see that neither Qiao Luowei nor Song Jiayi were the kind of people who relied solely on their family background. In fact, apart from being restricted by the times, Du Yan could be so sensitive to Song Jiayi Qiao Luowei just listened to some of his general explanations and secretly admired his ability to get to the point when asked casually. He knew very well that he had nearly an era's worth of common sense, but these two people were truly capable. Although there was some element of information imbalance, as Du Yan said, with the same glass of water, Different people will have different opinions. Just like the opinions and suggestions he put forward, if they were given to Li Peizheng, they might not get enough resonance. With Daqing Township as the center, developing three towns in one place in Pingling was a goal that Du Yan had set very early on. For this purpose, he began to collect information when he first became Li Peizheng's secretary. Borrowing his experience twenty years earlier than this era, Du Yan had already sketched out an economic context map in his mind, and this context The destination of the map so far is set in Taihua City. Since the beginning of following Li Peizheng, Du Yan's eyes have not stopped at Pingling. In his memory, Li Peizheng would eventually leave Pingling and enter Taihua City, but unfortunately, he did not take the next step, but stopped at the position of executive deputy mayor of Taihua. There were many reasons that led to Li Peizheng's resignation. Although it was related to the sudden and drastic changes in the political situation in Hexi Province at that time, since Du Yan came to Li Peizheng, he gradually realized that this was related to Li Peizheng's lack of courage in economic construction. In other words, it doesn't matter if the level is not good enough. Li Peizheng is a very typical orthodox official. Maybe he has the enthusiasm of his parents as an official, but in a country where economic development is vigorously promoted and economic figures are used as a standard to measure the level of officials, Li Peizheng's abilities are stretched thin. Although this is not necessarily a bad thing for Du Yan, who has the concept of future generations and has seen too many GDP-based goals, even at the expense of long-term interests, and only pursues immediate results. As a local official, he pays too much attention to economic development and neglects it. Social development may achieve great results in the short term, but in the long run it may create hidden dangers. But in today¡¯s climate, officials like Li Peizheng are obviously not very popular. Du Yan knew that although he was no longer Li Peizheng's secretary, his relationship with Li Peizheng was even closer. This was not only because he "saved Li Peizheng's life", but also because he was completely regarded by outsiders as Li Peizheng's person. The important thing is that if he wants to achieve his goal of three towns in one place, he must get Li Peizheng's full support! After all, he is only the mayor of Daqing Township. If he wants to integrate the three towns of Daqing Township, Shuangdui, and Liuliji, without Li Peizheng's support, it will not only be difficult, but even delusional. So after severely "blackmailing" Qiao Luowei, Du Yan returned to Daqing Township and sorted out the information he had collected before and made more detailed preparations. Although Qiao Luowei was a little dissatisfied with Du Yan's rogueness, she still kept her agreement with him. A few days later, Qiao Luowei brought Zhao Xiaoyun to Daqing Township again, but this time as an investor, it was the town party secretary Shi Changgeng who received her. After the last Standing Committee meeting, Shi Changgeng did not show anything strange. He was still smiling when walking with Du Yan. Two days ago, at a year-end summary meeting of the town's Agricultural Machinery Committee, after Du Yan's speech, Shi Changgeng Chang Geng even praised Du Yan's superb level of outlook and instructions for the town's Agricultural Machinery Committee in the coming year. This made the cadres in the audience secretly wonder, hadn't they heard that Secretary Shi and Mayor Du were already fighting each other? Why doesn't it look like that? Shi Changgeng was also very happy about Qiao Luowei's arrival. Although he vaguely knew that it was because of Du Yan, the introduction of funds itself was a manifestation of political performance. Although economic development had not yet become a rigid indicator for evaluating cadres at this time, Being able to settle a sum of money in Daqing Township can always reflect the different work levels of the new secretary and his predecessor. Qiao Luowei's arrival not only refreshed the cadres of Daqing Township, but even caused a moderate sensation in the entire town. It¡¯s no secret that the struggle in the town committee caused by such a beautiful woman from out of town was long gone. The Chinese people are keen to care about this kind of thing. Even if it is just a political struggle in a small town, if a seemingly mysterious beauty is involved, the attraction will definitely be lethal. So?When I saw Shi Changgeng accompanying Qiao Luowei on an inspection tour of the town, various rumors had already begun to spread. Although some of them had some basis, they were more of the "jealousy" and "fighting for love" types. Unreliable gossip. Du Yan didn't have time to meet Qiao Luowei. He had gone to the village the day before to do a year-end agricultural support survey. ¡°I don¡¯t know if it was a coincidence or something, but the staff member assigned by Agricultural Machinery to accompany him to the village was none other than Hu Xuecong, who Peng Jun had proposed to swap with Chen Si. Hu Xuecong originally worked in the town committee office, but after being nominated, not only was he unable to enter the town committee compound, but he was inexplicably sent to the town's agricultural machinery office, a place that his grandma didn't love and his uncle didn't love. For this reason, the public said that because of the conflict between the mayor of Du and the recommendation of his Secretary Peng, but even he hated Xiao Hu. Naturally, Hu Xuecong didn't have a good impression of Mayor Du. Although his grandfather, County Magistrate Hu, had retired many years ago, he had actually done some good things for the town by building bridges and roads while he was in office. So far, when people mention County Magistrate Lao Hu, they still respect him very much. Although the influence of the old County Magistrate Hu has gradually diminished, Tie Fengying, director of the Agricultural Machinery Office, is still not very happy with how to arrange this hot potato who was "assigned" by Mayor Du. However, Tie Fengying was not an idle person. She just thought about it briefly and came up with a good way to avoid offending. Taking advantage of Du Yan's investigation in the village, Tie Fengying asked Hu Xuecong to also understand the work of the agricultural machinery office. With an excuse, he was sent away. Director Tie is also very good at using the tried-and-tested method of handing over conflicts. But of course Tie Fengying would not simply throw the conflict to Du Yan. No leader would like such a cadre, so she had reported it to Du Yan in advance. Moreover, during the report, Tie Fengying deliberately showed an embarrassed expression, taking advantage of women's natural coquettishness, and said subtly that it was Mayor Du who won the battle to get this Hu Xuecong to work in the agricultural machinery office. As a result, for such a trouble, you, Mayor Du, can't just leave for the sake of your own temporary comfort. You always have to make the decision for the people below us, which is not the case with Ba Ba Chuang. Du Yan was helpless for Tie Fengying's attitude of not treating him as an outsider. He naturally knew that Tie Fengying did this not just to arrange for Hu Xuecong, but more to make a statement. Tie Fengying They are considered your Mayor Du¡¯s people. But through this time, Du Yan also deeply realized that there are really no simple people who can hang out in this system. Therefore, when Qiao Luowei was inspecting Daqing Township, Du Yan was conducting investigations in several villages under his jurisdiction with Hu Xuecong, who had an obviously hostile expression on his face. Although he grew up in the county town, Du Yan was not only unfamiliar with farming, he could be said to know nothing about it. In his previous life, he had been working in the county cultural center. Later, he moved to Taihua to make a living, and even went to southern coastal cities. But Never been to the ground. This made him turn into a black eye once he came into contact with specific work. Seeing him like this, Hu Xuecong showed an expression of contempt. In Hu Xuecong's view, apart from being Li Peizheng's secretary and having saved Li Peizheng's life, Du Yan had no ability to be the mayor. At first he didn't say anything, but later he saw that Du Yan just asked the villagers some questions. The agricultural work didn't have much to do with it, or even some irrelevant issues, so he couldn't help but just replace Mayor Du and start his own research. Although Hu Xuecong's attitude was not good, Du Yan analyzed from his conversations with the villagers, and sometimes even got red-faced over how to sow and fertilize seeds of a certain variety. It can be seen that this is indeed a young man with a very solid business. people. Walking on the paved gravel road, Du Yan looked into the distance along the windbreak forest lined up on the roadside. This was already the farthest village in Daqing Township. After this windbreak forest, it was the boundary of Shuangdui. There is flat land on both sides of the road. Pingling Land is as its name suggests. Except for a western high mountain, most of the land is gentle hills. Generally speaking, it is quite suitable for growing crops. This is one of the reasons why the director of the Agricultural Machinery Committee can be taken seriously and become a member of the Standing Committee of the town committee. "Mayor Du, if we go further, we will leave the boundary of Daqing Township." Although Hu Xuecong wanted to soften his tone, the words came out very stiff. He raised his head slightly and noticed Du Yan's expression. Although he despised the mayor from the bottom of his heart, who was two years younger than him, he was the boss after all. If he really made him anxious, it wouldn't be worth giving him a pair of small shoes. . ¡°Is that the Liuliji over there, right?¡± Du Yan asked, pointing to the faint red under the chilly winter scenery in the distance of the windbreak forest. "Yes, Liuli Ji," Du Yan didn't seem to pay attention to his attitude.Hu Xuecong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's the famous Taoshan Mountain in Liuliji." "Taoshan." Du Yan whispered to himself. Naturally, he knew this name very well. He was even more familiar with it than many locals in Liuliji now. . In a few years, the saying that Mount Taosu produced plain porcelain will not only become famous in the mainland, but also be heard in the Southeast Province, which is famous for its ceramics. But even many years later, due to conceptual reasons, the people here still begged for food with a cornucopia of hands as he said. Local high-quality clay was sold to the south by the truckload at extremely low prices, and then passed through a certain place in the south. After being processed in a famous place rich in ceramics, it becomes a high-end decorative material with an astonishing price. It was not until many years later, through in-depth research by a well-known domestic antique appreciation expert, that people learned that a kind of ancient Song Dynasty bisque that had been lost nearly a thousand years ago was made from Taoshan soil accumulated in Pinglingshuang and made by local craftsmen. Made by firing. It is also because of this that the saying "Taoshan comes from Suci" has gradually spread, but even so, Shuangdui people only increased the price of Taoshan soil, and the real profits still belong to others. "Let's go to Taoshan to have a look." Du Yan suddenly turned around and said to Hu Xuecong, and then he pushed his bicycle and walked forward along the road. "Why are you going to Taoshan?" Hu Xuecong muttered secretly, "You really think of yourself as the leader, and you think you are the secretary of the county party committee." When Du Yan returned to town, it was already very late. Dragging his tired body into the room, he almost collapsed in the chair. Even my young body could not withstand riding for nearly two hundred miles continuously, and some of the road conditions were really bad, especially when approaching Taoshan in Shuangduiji. Many roads had to be pushed forward by pushing the bicycle. As for the machine, Apart from some swaying and deafening tractors, I really didn¡¯t see any cars passing by. This made Du Yan certain that the current value of Taoshan soil has not been noticed by anyone. In fact, in the early 1990s, because real estate had not yet emerged and people¡¯s living standards were generally low, the market for building and decoration materials was still very small. Only after the mid-1990s, with the boom of the real estate industry, did the decorative ceramics market gradually develop. Looking at the entire domestic market, despite the generally high prices, ceramic production in Southeast Province has occupied an unshakable dominance from the beginning. status, which is naturally related to their advanced awareness and earlier access to relevant technologies. But Du Yan also knows that although the high price is related to the endless pursuit of profits by manufacturers, it is also due to the cost of raw materials. Firing high-quality architectural ceramics certainly requires good technology, but equally high-quality clay materials are a top priority. Thinking of this, Du Yan suddenly felt energetic again. He pulled his chair to the table, opened his notebook and began to sort out the materials collected today. Looking through the scattered information in the book like a road map from Daqing Township to Liuliji, Du Yan remembered Hu Xuecong's disdainful expression when he asked the villagers, and he smiled slightly. Of course, Hu Xuecong didn't know the significance of the questions Du Yan asked that had nothing to do with agricultural work, but even if he knew, he probably could only say: "You don't know what you can do!" "With the goal of developing three towns and one place, as soon as possible, "Feasible Idea for Establishing the Pingling Triangle Economic Zone", as soon as I wrote this seemingly big title, there was a sudden knock on the door. Du Yan walked to the door and opened the door. Unexpectedly, the indifferent and lonely Qiao Luowei was standing outside the door. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Shameless Eat Enough Du Yan was slightly surprised to see Qiao Luowei. He did not expect that Qiao Luowei did not return to the military guest house, but stayed in Daqing Township for the night. In Du Yan's mind, whether Song Jiayi or Qiao Luowei came from a wealthy family, it might be too difficult for them to live the same life as ordinary farmers in a place like Daqing Township. "Don't you invite me in?" Qiao Luowei asked calmly, looking at Du Yan who was standing at the door in a daze. Then she walked straight past Du Yan and entered the room, regardless of whether Du Yan agreed or not. Du Yan's dormitory is not far from the town committee office. Although it gets dark early in winter, there are still people awake at this time. When he saw Qiao Luowei walking into his room, Du Yan couldn't help but look outside the door, but then he thought , doesn¡¯t it make people feel that something is wrong when they look like this? Qiao Luowei walked into the room and looked around. She didn't expect that a single man's dormitory was very clean. What's more, to her surprise, she saw a few books on the small bookshelf near the bedside. Books that can only be seen in the capital or in universities like Jinghua. Watching Du Yan busy pouring water and making tea, Qiao Luowei, who was a little bored, picked up a copy of "The Progress and Transformation of Western Capitalism" published by Sanlian Publishing House from the bookshelf. What surprised her was that this book she originally thought was There are quite scrawled notes and punctuations in many places on the pages that are just used to decorate the facade. Some words and phrases are marked repeatedly. In the blank spaces of the pages, you can often see some simple comments. Qiao Luowei flipped through the pages curiously. She had to admit that this small township bureaucrat gave her many surprises. Although she was always accompanied by Shi Changgeng during the day, Qiao Luowei still took the opportunity to walk around the town alone. What surprised her was that although the Daqingxiang Winery, which she thought was just a small business, was still small in scale, the wine it produced was quite authentic. Even Qiao Luowei, who never drank alcohol, couldn't help but feel slightly incense when he smelled the faint fragrance that was completely different from other spirits. Of course, she inevitably met Chen Dahao when setting up a factory in the town. At first, Chen Dahao was wary of this surprisingly beautiful beauty. Hearing that she was here to invest and that she was accompanied by Shi Changgeng, Chen Dahao wondered if it was this beautiful woman who looked very powerful. Take the opportunity to retaliate against yourself. However, after a while, Chen Dahao discovered that Mr. Qiao was indeed here for inspection. As he gradually became familiar with it, Chen Dahao gradually lost his wariness, and when Shi Changgeng was not paying attention, he specifically told the woman Boss, this winery was the idea that Mayor Du came up with when he was still working as secretary to Secretary Li in the county. This surprised Qiao Luowei and at the same time she became interested. Although she did not believe that Du Yan had made preparations to lay the foundation for herself in Daqing Township more than half a year ago, Chen Dahao's words made her unable to Do not believe. Because of this, after hearing that Du Yan had returned to town, Qiao Luowei finally decided to pay him a visit. "I heard that the winery in Daqing Township was suggested by you when you were a secretary in the county?" Qiao Luowei sipped the tea gently, looking at Du Yan carefully with a pair of eyes that always seemed to reveal a hint of loneliness, "You At that time, were you already sure that you would come to Daqing Township in the future? Or do you think that no matter who comes, they will eventually do what you want? " "Mr. Qiao, you are just flattering me. I am not a god and I can't predict the future." "How can you know something so far away?" Du Yan laughed. He found that even when Mr. Qiao asked questions out of curiosity, he seemed to be so indifferent, as if the things around him had nothing to do with her. This made People always feel that although she is standing in front of him, she seems to be far away. "But the development of three towns and one place in Pingling is an inevitable trend. In fact, this is what Secretary Li has always hoped to promote." "Li Peizheng?" Qiao Luowei seemed to think for a while before remembering. She shook her head noncommittally at Du Yan's words, and then saw the article on the table that had just begun. "A triangular economic zone with three towns and one place?" Qiao Luo's pretty eyebrows like distant mountains suddenly squeezed toward the middle. He looked at the title of the article and thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Du Yan with strange eyes. "What if I guessed it right, your so-called triangular economic zone of three towns and one place is actually a borrowed chicken to lay eggs. To put it bluntly, it is called a white wolf with empty gloves. " Du Yan rubbed the tip of his nose with his thumb, although during this period of time. He was quite thick-skinned in the agency, but he felt a little embarrassed when someone exposed the trick directly. "Mr. Qiao, in fact, we all know very well that you have to enter the mainland market and strive for a development environment in advance before the country officially starts to promote the mainland's economic development policy. And we want to let the country make more decisions in the future mainland development policy. To tilt towards the local area, we need to invest corresponding funds in advance to improve the investment environment. This is very urgent for both of us, or we are striving for a grab.?There is a time difference between other regions. This is a win-win situation where both sides benefit from cooperation, Mr. Qiao. " Hearing the still new word win-win, Qiao Luowei understood it after thinking about it for a while. A hint of surprise flashed through her always indifferent eyes. This surprise was certainly due to Du Yan's ability to grasp the key to things so accurately. She was surprised, but more than anything, she felt that even though she had made it clear, Du Yan didn't seem to realize who he was dealing with with his almost blackmail behavior, which made Qiao Luowei feel uncomfortable. Helplessly, she found that even though she knew that this little scoundrel was trying to blackmail her, she still had nothing to do because, as Du Yan said, she chose Ping An, both in terms of geographical location and the various conditions that the local government could provide. The mausoleum, or the choice of Daqing Township as a bridgehead for early investment in the mainland, can be said to be a win-win situation in which both parties benefit from cooperation. In the face of interests that are huge enough to cause fights among various families, no one will be willing to do so for a moment. "If we want to promote the project of three towns in one place, how much capital do you think is needed to start it?" "Once the goal was determined, Qiao Luowei went straight into the details. At this time, the beautiful Mr. Qiao immediately turned into a shrewd businessman. "If Pingling can agree to direct capital injection, maybe I can consider investing and expanding in Daqing Township. Your winery. " Qiao Luowei's suggestion was rejected by Du Yan without hesitation as soon as it came out! "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, I think you may have misunderstood," Du Yan shook his head. That firm attitude made Qiao Luowei realize that "We welcome the injection of capital to build factories, but the decision-making power for the development of this economic zone must be entirely in the hands of Pingling, and we will not accept any form of interference." " "Or is it completely in your hands? "Qiao Luowei glanced at Du Yan and then noticed a copy of "The Golden Age" on the bookshelf. She took the book and walked to the door, "Lend it to me." " After saying that, Qiao Luowei opened the door, then turned to Du Yan and said: "You should be a perfectionist, or a pure idealist, but now I think you are more like an overconfident and even a bit blindly arrogant businessman. . " "Maybe it seems blind and arrogant to others, but who in this world knows better than me what will happen in the future? "Standing at the door and watching the back of Qiao Luowei walking away from Zhao Xiaoyun who had been waiting outside, Du Yan secretly replied. Qiao Luowei left the next afternoon. Before leaving, she went to the town committee office again. This time she After a rather formal negotiation with Shi Changgeng, and after signing a simple letter of intent for cooperation with the Daqing township government on behalf of the Northwest Branch of the Capital Huachang Group, Qiao Luowei left Daqing in the repaired Audi car. Township. Standing at the door of the town committee office and watching Audi go away, Shi Changgeng was in a good mood. It could be seen that this Mr. Qiao was not simple. Although he didn¡¯t know what the background of Huachang Group was, he was in the capital. The origin is enough to put a veil of mystery on this company. Although it is just a letter of intent, it happened to be signed just after he took office. It can be said that it is a real political achievement. Taking a look at Du Yan, based on his observations over the past two days, he had determined that Du Yan and Mr. Qiao were only casual friends and not very familiar with each other. This relieved Shi Changgeng's original worry about being robbed of his credit. " Mayor Du, let's have a meeting later to see how we can arrange cooperation with Huachang Group," but even so, Shi Changgeng, who was talking as he walked back, decided to strike first and prevent Du Yan from taking the credit. ¡°I think it is necessary to establish a steering group and mobilize the best soldiers and generals in the town. This cannot be done carelessly. " Du Yan nodded silently. He actually understood Shi Changgeng's thoughts, but it was indeed imperative to establish a steering group, and in Du Yan's mind, this group would be the prototype of the management team of the three-town economic zone in one place in the future. , and it is a specialized agency for attracting investment in the future economic zone, but of course he will not say this now. ¡°I think Secretary Shi¡¯s suggestion is very reasonable,¡± Peng Jun immediately took over. Since the vote failed, Peng Jun. He became a lot silent, but whether he was aware of current affairs or looking for opportunities was not known to others. But now when he saw an opportunity, he immediately took action. "This group will be used as a dialogue with Huachang Group from now on." Since the standard is not too low, Secretary Shi will appoint a team leader. This will further illustrate that Daqing Township attaches great importance to foreign investment. " Du Yan tilted his head and glanced at Peng Jun. He agreed with what Peng Jun said. In order to show the importance of investors, the investment promotion departments in many places in later generations were directly led by local nominal leaders. What Peng Jun doesn't know is that if he really needs to re-??, not to mention a mere Daqing Township, even Pingling or even Taihua City's well-known investment department may not be in the eyes of the senior executives of Huachang Group. But just by such a chance, Huachang Group, a giant, chose Daqing Township as their first bridgehead to develop inland. The Daqing Township Economic Steering Group was quickly established. As the nominal leader, Shi Changgeng got his wish. However, to people's surprise, the person responsible for the daily work of this steering group was Deputy Mayor Liu Jiahui, while Du Yan, But together with other town leaders, he only had the false name of deputy team leader. When Shi Changgeng announced Liu Jiahui as the executive deputy team leader, Liu Jiahui nodded slightly and smiled at Du Yan. Liu Jiahui looked so relaxed and calm from beginning to end, and did not show any overjoyed expression at the surrender of the deputy team leader who was in charge of the work. This made Du Yan value Liu Jiahui even more, and he discovered that although Liu Jiahui's actions disrupted Shi Changgeng's steps a few days ago, judging from today's situation, it was obvious that there was something between Shi Changgeng and Liu Jiahui. some new changes. But what surprised Du Yan was that when the memories were over, Lao Liu from the People's Armed Forces took the initiative to find him. Although he just invited him to drink and fish together, Lao Liu's attitude had obviously changed a lot from a few days ago. "Mayor Du knows Company Commander Zhao?" Lao Liu asked. Seeing Du Yan's puzzled look, Lao Liu chuckled. "Looking at my memory, I'm still asking for the company commander." As he said this, Lao Liu let out a slight sigh. He said with emotion, "Time flies so fast. I remember that when Brigade Zhao and his troops first came to Pingling for garrison, they were just company commanders. Now they are lieutenant colonels. It has been several years. By the way, how did you meet?" "I know his sister's boss, that's Mr. Qiao." Du Yan said that he could tell that Lao Liu respected Zhao Youxun. This respect was not just because of Zhao Youxun's rank, but because of other things. "Brigade Zhao's sister" Lao Liu thought about it for a while and then looked at Du Yan strangely. "I remember drinking with Brigade Zhao once, and he said that his sister was in the army." "Maybe she has changed careers. Du Yan said casually. At this time, he was already sure that Zhao Xiaoyun should be transferred from the army to Qiao Luowei through the Song family's connections. Thinking about the old Chai who seemed to be always around Song Jiayi, Du Yan couldn't help but shake his head secretly at the huge privileges possessed by these red nobles. As New Year's Day of 1991 approaches, it has been nearly a month since Du Yan came to Daqing Township. Qiao Luowei never came back after leaving, and the initial enthusiasm of the Daqing Township Committee gradually faded away. After all, these days, people are writing bad checks all over the world. If it hadn't been for the fact that Qiao Luowei was introduced by someone from the local army, and he also wrote With an Audi worth hundreds of thousands, Shi Changgeng wouldn't think so highly of her. From the beginning, the guidance group was squeezed in by the backdoor connections, and gradually turned into a place where dissidents were exiled from various departments in the town. This change was something Shi Changgeng had not expected before. Du Yan did not convene. He still implemented his plan step by step. In the past month, he did not stop because there was no news from the Song family. On the contrary, in his opinion, this short period of time was a rare one. good chance. Du Yan doesn¡¯t know how much money the Song family will invest in Daqing Township. However, during this period, his plan for one place and three towns had been written. After several revisions, he sent the article to a capital address that Qiao Luowei left for him before he left. address. As agreed before, Shen Hefu, the owner of Liyuju, came to Daqing Township a few days before New Year's Day. In fact, Shen Hefu did not come here specifically to see the green fruit wine brewed by the Daqing Township Winery this time. Instead, he planned to go to the countryside to purchase a batch of low-priced fruits years ago. However, when he smelled the aroma of green fruit wine for the first time, Shen Hefu was stunned for a moment, then picked up the wooden cup and took a sip. The unique and delicate aroma lingered in his throat. It took a while for Shen Hefu to open his eyes with slightly squinted eyes. He curiously looked at Chen Dahao with a proud smile on his face next to him. He thought about it for a while before speaking: "Director Chen, do you have any other flavors of green fruit wine besides this one?" "Of course there is. Even though this is a local wine, our ancestors were really good at showing off. What makes the gods drunk, laugh? "The duckweeds are all old secret recipes left by our ancestors. Every recipe and every twist is amazing." Chen Dahao smiled proudly. Over the past six months, Qingguo Wine has gradually gained a reputation in the neighborhood. Although I heard that Shen Hefu was the famous owner of Liyuju in the county, Chen Dahao didn't want to be as frightened and overwhelmed as he was when Du Yan mentioned his name. "Du Mi, take a step to speak," Shen Hefu pulled Du Yan to the side, his eyes flashed, "Du Mi,I would like to sign a reimbursement contract with the winery in Daqing. How about it? " "Reimbursement contract, that's certainly good. " Du Yan smiled faintly. He knew that Shen Hefu must have something more to say. As expected, Shen Hefu hesitated and continued: "But I want to add a condition to this contract. I want to exclusively operate the secret recipe wine that Director Chen mentioned before. . " Looking at Shen Hefu silently, Du Yan said nothing. Shen Hefu was slightly uneasy. Shen Hefu paid great attention to this Du secret, or paid attention to it for a long time. Shen Hefu always believed that he was a person who could do big business. It is precisely because of this that he pays more attention to figures in the officialdom than others, and among these people, Du Yan is one of the most important ones. Now seeing the way Du Yan looked at him, Shen Hefu was stunned. He couldn't help but feel uneasy, and he also knew that if he had agreed to use Qingguo wine in his hotel just to show off Du Yan's face, his proposal now seemed a bit eager for quick success, or a little ugly. "Old Shen, Du Yan raised his hand and held Shen Hefu's shoulders and walked slowly outside the factory. "I'm very happy that you are willing to reimburse me, but forget this condition." I can tell you that the future path of Qingguo Wine will not only go to Pingling, so your proposal will not be of much benefit to you or the winery. Du Yan explained, "But I can give you a suggestion. You can be the general agent of Qingguo wine." As for those secret recipe wines, they are not yet ready. When the time comes, I guarantee you, Old Shen, will have cramps in your hands counting the money. " After seeing off Shen Hefu, who was slightly disappointed but took away a whole truck of green fruit wine, Du Yan began to prepare to go home for New Year's Day in a few days. Because he was too busy with work and the communication was not convenient, it was difficult to come during this time Du Yan, who has never returned home, has not had much contact with his family except for exchanging grief on the phone with Su Qian who is at work. As New Year's Day approaches, the town committee compound has become a lot quieter, but The night before he was rushing to finish the work at hand and prepare to return to the county town the next day, an unexpected phone call disrupted Du Yan's arrangements. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 19 Chapter 19 The layout begins While packing things in the room, Chen Siyou hurriedly ran in. At this time, program-controlled switches were not commonly used for long-distance calls in many places and manual wiring was required for transmission. Therefore, when Chen Si, who was on duty, heard that the call was coming from the capital, he immediately thought of Mr. Qiao who had never returned. He ran all the way to Du Yan's dormitory to report the news. Du Yan also thought of Qiao Luowei and Song Jiayi. He put down what he was doing and ran to the town committee compound. At the same time, he missed the era of having mobile phones for the first time. "Hello, I'm Du Yan, who are you?" "I'm looking for Du Yan, Du from the Du Gong Department, who is responsible for language." The other party seemed a little impatient. "I am, what can I do for you?" Du Yan's surprise was that the call was not from Qiao Luowei or Song Jiayi. Du Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard the other party's slightly old southern accent. "Are you Du Yan?" The voice on the phone seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then asked inquiringly, "Did you write that article about the economic development model in the mainland?" When the other party said that, Du Yan guessed that it was him. After writing the article "Fasible Vision of Three Towns and One Area Economic Zone" that he sent to Qiao Luowei, what made him a little strange was how could it become an inland economic development model? And why did the other party call him? "Who are you?" Du Yan asked patiently. It could be heard that the other party seemed to have a short temper. After talking for a long time, he still didn't mention who he was. " "Oh, sorry, hello Comrade Du Yan, I am Feng Ziming from the School of Economics, Jinghua University." The other party's hearty laughter came from the other side of the phone. However, although he said he was sorry, his tone did not take his frankness seriously at all. "The thing is like this, I read your article explaining the economic development model of the mainland, and thought it was a good thing, so I asked for your phone number, hoping to communicate with you. " Feng Ziming? Du Yan felt that the name was familiar but couldn't remember it for a moment, but he still said politely: "Hello, hello, I didn't expect that I could get your attention just by writing something casually. May I have your phone number here? Where did you get it? " "Haha, it's Luo Wei. I got the number from that kid. I really didn't expect that we are still in school studying how to develop the mainland economy. There are already comrades at the local level who are involved in actual operations. It¡¯s the stage, it¡¯s really out of date. " Feng Ziming seemed to be very talkative. Although he was on a long-distance phone call, he was in high spirits. He kept asking Du Yan some questions about his article. It wasn't until someone next to him seemed to whisper something to him that he said, "Oh! I suddenly remembered: "I'm sorry, I lost track of time as soon as I started talking. Comrade Du Yan, if it's convenient, can you give me your mailing address? Let's discuss some issues in depth, how about it?" " "Okay Professor Feng, I'm glad to communicate with you. "Du Yan said with a smile. After these constant exchanges, he had already remembered what kind of god Feng Ziming was. What Du Yan didn't expect was that his article was purely to clarify the development of the Pingling area, and by the way, he mentioned Song Dynasty. An article about a rip-off would actually attract the attention of this person. Speaking of which, Feng Ziming was not famous at this time, or he was still just a simple economics professor who only studied knowledge in the university. For an economics professor, it really feels like hiding in an ivory tower. But despite this, Professor Feng is a well-known figure in the field of economics. In fact, Professor Feng had passed the translation service a few years ago. Some Western economic treatises are quite famous in the circle, but because of his rather radical persistence in free market theory, with the advent of turmoil in the last year of the 1980s, Professor Feng naturally received some criticism from above. However, Du Yan knew that with the in-depth discussions in the domestic economic circles, especially when some major issues seemed to be settled in a few years, Professor Feng would gradually make a comeback in the domestic economic circles. Professor Feng, who was once frustrated, will use his years of research on market economic theory to sweep the domestic economic forum. If Feng Ziming is just a pure scholar now, whether it is true or not by then, He has been labeled as a spokesman for interest groups, and like many domestic economists, he has become one of the many controversial public figures. Du Yan did not expect that such a special figure would be brought out, so he even put down the phone. Still slightly dazed. Of course, Du Yan knew that he was a layman in the field of economics. If Feng Ziming hadn't been pressed for time, he might have emptied everything out of his stomach if he kept nagging like this. This made Du Yan even more eager to master more knowledge. He knew that people like Feng Ziming were definitely not just economics professors at Jinghua University.?, Whether they like it or not, such a person is destined to become the mouthpiece of certain people or groups from the beginning. It now seems that, even if he is not yet the case, in the future Feng Ziming should be a think-tank type figure who will cheer for the Song family. Du Yan shook his head slightly. When he walked out of the inner room and came to the duty room outside, he saw Chen Siyou looking at him with a strange expression. Du Yan smiled and asked smoothly: "Why are you looking at me like this? But there is no such tendency." "Mayor, what tendency are you talking about?" Chen Siyou was stunned. Looking at Chen Siyou's confused look, Du Yan couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that he casually said a new word many years later. He waved his hand and said nothing more, turned around and walked out the door. "Mayor, I want to tell you something." Seeing that Du Yan was about to leave, Chen Si gritted his teeth and spoke. "What's the matter, Siyou?" Du Yan stopped and looked at Chen Siyou. "That's it, I want to work in the Zhenjingzhi Group. You see" Chen Syou said while secretly observing Du Yan's expression. After saying this, he let out a breath and seemed to feel relaxed. Speaking of which, making this decision was a big gamble for Chen Siyou! If you bet well, you may be successful in the future; if you bet wrong, your efforts over the past few years may be completely wasted. Chen Siyou had been hesitant about this before. Although many people were disappointed with the current situation of the town's economic guidance group and even avoided it, Chen Siyou could vaguely feel that Du Yan had some special concern for this group. But Chen Siyou still wanted to stabilize the situation and check the situation. It was the phone call just now that made Chen Siyou completely determined. Because the conditions were simple and the sound insulation effect of the outer rooms in the office was not good, and because the discussion was not about any sensitive issues, Du Yan did not deliberately lower his tone, so Chen Siyou vaguely heard some of it. Although the status of professor at Jinghua University in the capital seems too lofty for a small cadre from the mainland, Chen Siyou did not know what it meant, but from the few words in the conversation between Du Yan and Feng Ziming, Chen Siyou has determined that Mayor Du must have an unusual concern for the Jingzhi Group. Now is the most difficult time for the Jingzhi Group, and Chen Siyou's already burning thoughts have become more intense. Seeing that Du Yan was about to leave, Chen Si gritted his teeth and spoke out his thoughts. Looking at the expression on Chen Siyou's face, Du Yan pondered for a moment: "Xiao Chen, do you know what the environment is like in the Jingzhi Group now?" "Yes!" Chen Siyou no longer hesitated to answer now that he had made up his mind. Very simply, "Now everyone is saying that the Jingzhi Group is where Secretary Shi arranges a resting place for people who stand aside. After a while, these people may not even have this resting place." "Is that what everyone said?" Du Yan Frowning, he heard some rumors, but he didn't expect it to reach this level. But when he thought about it carefully, even Tie Fengying had thrown a few people from the Agricultural Machinery Office who were usually not easy to manage to the Economic Instruction Team. He knew that Shi Changgeng really used the Economic Instruction Office as a big stick to eliminate dissidents. "That's it." Are you willing to go too?" "I am willing to go," Chen Siyou thought about his words. He knew that he must let Mayor Du know his thoughts, otherwise it may be self-defeating. "Mayor, I don't know about others, but I know that you are sincere. If we want to run things well in Daqing Township, this is what the Economic Instruction Office should do. Mayor Liu is a good person, but I think he is not as good as you in economic development. In the end, the Economic Instruction Office must be guided by you, so I I'm willing to go there first, but I don't dare to call you, so I can make some preparations." It sounded like a sign of loyalty, but Du Yan didn't expect that a phone call would lead to such a result. And Du Yan couldn't help but secretly sigh at Chen Siyou's agility and spiritual grasp of things, especially his courage to make decisions on the spot, which made Du Yan take a high look at him. "Siyou, you have already decided?" Looking at Chen Siyou's determined expression, Du Yan nodded slightly, "Siyou, since you have decided, I will agree to your request. Remember, since you have decided to take this step, you must be patient. Stay lonely, talk less and read more after passing, and be willing to be a foil. ""I understand, Mayor!" Chen Siyou nodded vigorously. He knew that Du Yan could say the last eight words to him, that would be true. He treats him as one of his own, which is different from when his second grandfather recommended him to Mayor Du. From now on, he is truly regarded as Mayor Du's direct confidant. Because of this unexpected phone call, Du Yan's original plan to return to Pingling one day earlier had to be changed. Although he was also eager to communicate with Li Peizheng in detail about the idea of ??promoting the triangular economic zone, from the information revealed by Feng Ziming, Du Yan Guessing that the country¡¯s policy arrangements on inter-provincial economic bridges may be better than I remember.??The time of the hereafter starts earlier. Although this seems to be a little different from what Du Yan has experienced, he believes that he can still grasp the direction of development of things at this stage. But in this case, Du Yan also had to speed up his pace. Even if he didn't seize the day, Du Yan still decided to postpone going home for a day. There was someone he wanted to see right away. Since he retired, Chen Laogan found that he had nothing to do. The title of Director of the Town People's Congress made him feel uncomfortable. Although he considered himself not an official fanatic, he suddenly became idle every day from being busy. He only read newspapers and chatted all day long and read some superior documents that no one could understand. , which made Chen Laojie feel that his life was not pleasant. So when Du Yan suddenly came to visit, Chen Laogan immediately sent someone to the winery to ask Chen Dahao for a pot of hot wine, and then he drank some braised vegetables with Du Yan. "Try this wine." Chen Laogan placed a grey-looking clay-sealed jar in front of Du Yan, "I bet you haven't drank it before." After opening the clay seal, a rich and lingering aroma of wine immediately overflowed. Smell the lingering fragrance in the room, even a person like Du Yan who is not good at wine can't help but sigh "Eh" "Good wine." "It's not that good," Chen Laogan said with a little pride on his face. It means "I am young and my anger has not completely subsided. If you, Mayor Du, hadn't come here, I would have been reluctant to let Dahao take it out." "Chen Dahao, this kid, is still hiding his secrets. I will deal with him later." Du Yan took it with a smile. The wine glass handed over by Chen Laojie. Chen Laogong, who took a sip of wine and licked his tongue to taste the taste, narrowed his eyes slightly: "Mayor Du, to be honest, when you and Secretary Li came down for investigation, I looked down on you a little at first. In a county town I am a young man who knows how to make a fortune and how to make green fruit wine, but then the advice you gave made Daqing Township see the benefits. This is a good thing and a skill! Don't look at some people who yell all day long. Maybe they are good at teasing people. When it comes to doing practical things, everyone in the town has bright eyes. Everyone can see who is good and who is bad. " Chen Laojie's straightforward and frank words made Du Yan feel emotional. He knew in his heart that everything he did was somewhat selfish. Yes, but for the people of Daqing Township, while they realize their personal goals step by step, it also brings them benefits. This means that they can take a high look at themselves and think that they are good cadres. This gave Du Yan a further understanding of the career path. In many cases, serving the people does not conflict with realizing personal ambitions. What is important is how to combine these two aspects, both public and private, to gather a group of people. People, let these people's personal interests and career prospects coincide with their own goals, and achieve their goals to the greatest extent possible. "Secretary Chen, I have something to ask you." After drinking for a while, Du Yan slowly got to the point. "Say, it can be done without any ambiguity." Chen Laogan tore up a piece of braised pork and responded without raising his head. "It's about Hu Xuecong's father, Hu Weiping." At this point, Du Yan stopped and looked at Chen Laogan's expression. For a while, Chen Laogan just stared at Du Yan with the braised pork in his mouth. After a while, he slowly swallowed the braised pork and picked up the wine glass. "Mayor Xiao Du, have you heard any gossip?" Chen Laogan's tone was slightly calmer. Listening to Chen Laogan's question, Du Yan sighed secretly. He had already heard about the grievances between County Magistrate Lao Hu and the Chen family, but he never expected that after so many years, the Chen family would County Magistrate Lao Hu still had deep grudges, and even implicated his descendants. This originally had nothing to do with Du Yan, but in Du Yan's imagination, the grievances between the Chen family and the Hu family became a stumbling block that prevented him from realizing the plan of one place and three towns, so he had to take the lead. According to some rumors in the town, there was an idea in the town to mention Hu Weiping as the deputy mayor in the early years, but for some reason there was no news in the end. Later there were rumors that it was Chen Laogan who had played a trick on it. He just got involved in the matter of Hu Weiping's deputy mayor. Although the rumors are not credible, the feud between the Chen family and the Hu family is well known not only in Daqing Township but also in the surrounding villages. Now that Du Yan mentioned Hu Weiping, Chen Laogan naturally thought that Du Yan had heard something. Although it had been many years, once it was mentioned again, it would inevitably make the person involved feel unhappy. "This is Secretary Chen. I want Director Zhai to move him." Du Yan said calmly. "Did Lao Zhai do something wrong?" Chen Laogan asked Du Yan in surprise. "Of course not. In fact, I think Director Zhai is capable of taking on more important jobs, but in this way, the position of director of the town committee office he has vacated" "You want HuWei Ping is here to be the director of the town committee office? "Chen Laogan looked at Du Yan in surprise. By this time, he gradually understood Du Yan's thoughts. Not to mention where Du Yan would put Lao Zhai, if Lao Zhai leaves, the vacancy of director of the town committee office will definitely be filled. Regardless of the truth about not being the deputy mayor, it is a fact that Hu Weiping was unsuccessful in Daqing Township at this time. If Du Yan nominated him to be the director of the town committee, Hu Weiping would naturally be grateful for the support. Zhi En worked hard for Du Yan. "Are you worried that I might get in the way?" Chen Laogan sullenly took a sip of wine, "Is that the kind of person you think I am?" "Of course not Secretary Chen," Du Yan laughed. "I found some articles written by Hu Weiping in the town archives before. To be honest, I think you were right not to promote Hu Weiping. Otherwise, the environment at that time would have That hurt him. " "Hey," Chen Laogan sighed, "Mayor Du, I don't know any words, and I can't even read a report. But that's why I felt scared after reading what Wei Ping wrote. This kid I need training. " Du Yan nodded lightly. He knew what Chen Laogan was talking about, and he also secretly admired Chen Laogan's simple but extremely keen political sense. "Secretary Chen, I am actually looking for you to ask you to Help me contact Hu Weiping," Du Yan continued, "I know that your relationship with Mr. Hu is not very good, but you still take good care of Hu Weiping and his son. Rumors are harmful to people. " "Haha, I didn't expect that there are so many people in Daqing Township, but the only one who can really see this clearly is an outsider like you, Mayor Du. " Chen Laogan exhaled a long breath, as if he had removed a stone that had been suppressing his heart for many years. "But Mayor Du, you asked Weiping to be the director of the town committee office. Where is Lao Zhai? " "Old Zhai, I have other more important arrangements. "Du Yan smiled slightly, but did not answer directly. "On December 29, 1990, Du Yan, who had been the mayor for exactly one month, returned to Pingling County. No one knew that he would meet again this time. What kind of surprise it brings to others. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Disagreement Li Peizheng wore glasses and looked at the document in his hand carefully. This was a new version of Du Yan's proposal on the "one place, three towns economic zone" that had been revised several times. In this report, Du Yan deleted some of the things that might cause controversy, and also conducted a simulation of the future development of Pingling construction entirely from the perspective of Pingling. The twenty-year experience of later generations began to show special advantages at this time. In the report, Du Yan used various examples that have been proven by countless people to explain the current trend of Pingling. Among them, the one that concerned Li Peizheng the most was It was Du Yan who asserted in the article that if Pingling continues in the current way, it will soon be unable to bear administrative responsibility for the accumulating bad debts of various local enterprises in Pingling, and will eventually have to We chose to end this tragedy in the most tragic way, a kind of bankruptcy that no one wants to see. Once this kind of tragedy is staged, it will have a chain reaction. All large enterprises owned by Pingling may face such a fate. What is even more worrying is that with the increase of bankrupt enterprises, social stability will inevitably decline. severely affected. Li Peizheng looked at the name "Taihua Heavy Machinery Factory" that was specially circled on the document, slowly took off his glasses, and looked up at Du Yan in the chair across the table. Speaking of which, this was the first time that Du Yan officially entered Li Peizheng's office as the mayor of Daqing Township after he left. What surprised Li Peizheng was that Du Yan, who was sitting in front of him now, seemed to be the same as when he was his secretary. The young man at that time had some unspeakable changes. "Xiao Du, do you think Pingling's economy has reached the end of its rope?" Li Peizheng looked a little grim. Although he was secretly shocked by this report, he really couldn't accept this view, especially when he was in charge of the report. Half a year later, Ling County Party Committee Secretary threw out such a report from his secretary. Just thinking about it was enough to make the veins on Li Peizheng's forehead swell. "Secretary Li, to be precise, a new change is needed," Du Yan looked calm. Before handing over this report, he had already thought of Li Peizheng's reaction. After all, to propose such a report by himself was almost a complete denial of the current Pingling County Party Committee. The report on the work performance of the county government would be unacceptable to anyone. If it had not been for Li Peizheng, who has a different relationship with him, but instead the county magistrate Guo Songlin, he might have been kicked out of the office long ago. "The current situation of the heavy machine factory is already obvious, and the heavy machine factory is not a special case, but something common. Phenomenon. Secretary Li, if we fail to promote the new economic model as soon as possible, not only the heavy machinery factory, but also Pingling and even Taihua may be crushed by this growing burden. " "Xiao Du, What you said is a bit excessive," Li Peizheng frowned slightly. "The current situation of the heavy machinery factory is indeed not very good, but after all, it has not reached the point you said, and the city cannot watch the heavy machinery factory sink like this, let alone We won't ignore the workers. After all, there are thousands of people in the old heavy machinery factory who have made contributions to the country. " "But Secretary Li, even if the city wants to control it, it has to be managed," Du Yan took out his wallet. I opened the book I brought with me and looked for "Taihua City has a total of seventeen state-owned enterprises above the director level and two large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises at the provincial management and department level. These nineteen large and medium-sized enterprises account for almost all the workers in Taihua City." Nearly 19% of the city's households have various relationships with these enterprises. Secretary Li, the current performance of these enterprises is generally not very good. Once there is a major economic fluctuation at home and abroad, it will inevitably have a certain impact. At that time, how can the city still have the power to control us?" Li Peizheng was really surprised when he saw Du Yan flipping through his little notebook and telling a series of data. He knew that Du Yan didn't flip through the record book. I'm used to it, but I didn't expect that when I opened his little book for the first time today, I found such a set of high-minded remarks. Listening to those words, he has even set his sights on the national level. "Then what do you rely on? So many problems depend on the green fruit wine you sell to the mayor of Liquor?" Li Peizheng asked, with a faint smile in his eyes as he spoke. Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard Li Peizheng teasing himself with this nickname that had become popular in Pingling. When he went home on the first day, he heard Du Fei call him the "mayor of the liquor seller." After asking about it, Only then did I realize that as Qingguo Wine gradually spread in Pingling, especially after Shen Hefu's Liyuju held a so-called "wine tasting conference" for a week, the reputation of Qingguo Wine was certainly spread, and he, the "wine seller," The nickname "Mayor" also rang out. "Secretary Li, green fruit wine is indeed a way to get rich in Daqing Township, but it can only be a low-level way of primitive accumulation," Du Yan explained to Li Peizheng. He knew that Li Peizheng was a good official who wanted to serve the people wholeheartedly, but his concept The obsolescence is irreparable. In many new things, Li Peizheng thinks more about whether he will go the wrong way instead of thinking about the way first.?Isn¡¯t that right? "The economic zone of three towns in one place is the key, and it is not the key to Daqing Township, but the key to Pingling or even Taihua. Because although we have various problems, we also have advantages that others do not have. That is the technical accumulation and valuable technical talents left to us by the early inland heavy industry construction, and our unique geographical location. " Du Yan once again described his plan to Li Peizheng step by step, and he described it step by step. Explain that sometimes Li Peizheng would ask questions, and Du Yan would give a more detailed explanation again. Time passed little by little. Secretary Xiao Chen came in several times to visit while changing the water. But at first he saw Du Yan talking to Li Peizheng across the table. When he went in later, he found that the two of them were already sitting on the sofa next to him. , the coffee table in front was filled with the reports brought by Du Yan, but Li Peizheng did not realize from Xiao Chen's hint that the interview with Mayor Du had taken too long. Xiao Chen looked at Du Yan with a little envy. Of course he knew that he couldn't compare with Du Yan, and he couldn't envy the friendship he had with Secretary Li and Mayor Du, both public and private. But after all, it is already the days before New Year's Day. The cadres of various units in the county have some matters that they need to ask for instructions one last time before New Year's Day. Even those that are not important, they must put on a New Year's greetings and listen to the leadership's teachings. What's more, this is Li Peizheng's first New Year after taking office in Pingling, and he is even more careless, so there is an endless stream of people outside. This made Xiao Chen miserable. After finally being unable to withstand the bullying of several cadres outside who were waiting for Secretary Li to meet him, Xiao Chen bravely came to Li Peizheng and reminded him in a low voice that the time was almost up. After all, there were still people outside. Many people are waiting, including several important bureau chiefs. It was already late when Li Peizheng woke up. While asking Du Yan to clear away the reports on the table, he said, "Xiao Du, come home tonight and I'll ask your aunt to make you her best white-meat zygote. I promise." You've eaten once and still want to eat again." "Then I won't eat anything at night and wait to eat at your house." Du Yan joked mischievously. This scene made Xiao Chen even more unhappy. Envy, look at the relationship between this person and Secretary Li, he is called one of our own. When Du Yan walked out of Li Peizheng's office, he was somewhat surprised to see Finance Director Gong Yerong sitting on the bench in the corridor. Du Yan smiled at him and before he spoke, Gong Yerong stood up and took two steps forward, reaching out to hold Du Yan's hand. At the same time, he said with joy on his face: "Oh Du Mi, I really haven't seen you in a while. Why, have you forgotten my old Gong? " Hearing the name Gong Yerong, Du Yan felt a shiver in his body. Fortunately, those southern-style titles have not spread to the mainland at this time. Otherwise, maybe others would use this sentence. I think the two of them are good comrades with a lot of love. "Director Gong, no one can forget you if they forget me. We in Daqing Township still need to count on you, the God of Wealth. You are the person I least dare offend now." Du Yan said half-truthfully , although it was certain that he would receive capital injection from Huachang Group, Du Yan still decided to apply for funds from the county for some infrastructure projects, but he did not want to be an alternative in this regard. Thinking about it, you can know that if something is accomplished without any funding from the county, this may indeed be worthy of praise in the eyes of the leaders, but in the eyes of other towns, this is actually causing trouble for everyone. If you become self-reliant A typical example of this is when everyone is offended. Du Yan is absolutely unwilling to be such a typical example. "Mayor Du, look at what you said. If you don't speak up when you really need me, old Gong, that would be offending me," Gong Yerong chuckled. When he saw Xiao Chen next to him about to speak, he used his strength again. He shook hands with Du Yan and said, "I'll go in and report to Secretary Li first. How about this? I'll treat you to Liyuju in the evening." Du Yan nodded slightly, and then walked along the corridor to the stairs under the gaze of several envious cadres nearby. Go. "Xiao Du," Just as he reached the stairs, a slightly surprised voice came from the other side of the corridor. Du Yan raised his head and looked at Guo Songling who was standing in the middle of the corridor in surprise. "County Magistrate Guo, do you have any instructions?" Du Yan passed the stairs in the middle of the corridor and walked towards the other side of the aisle representing the county government. "Xiao Du, your Daqing Township has done a good job," Guo Songlin said lightly, "I heard from Chang Geng that Daqing Township is rushing forward with all its strength. If nothing else, you, the mayor of the liquor store, are doing a good job." His name is now well-known in the county. " Guo Songlin looked at Du Yan with a smile on his face. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Peizheng's secretary to be such a troublesome person. figure. Shi Changgeng broke up with Du Yan several times in Daqing Township before.Guo Songlin has also heard about the wrist failure. Although I heard that Shi Changgeng finally seemed to have the upper hand in establishing the Daqing Township Economic Steering Group recently, Guo Songlin certainly wouldn't care about this small victory. "What he wants to see is for Du Yan to fall into trouble in Daqing Township. It would be best if this stupid young man directly makes a big mess and gets Li Peizheng involved. But now it seems that although Du Yan is not very old, he is not only very energetic, but also quite cautious. So far, I have not heard of any excessive behavior from him. As for the relationship between him and Shi Changgeng not being good, and Deputy Secretary Peng Jun is even more incompatible with each other. If we talk about it in detail, we really can't use it as an excuse. "County Magistrate, please don't laugh at me. I only have this little ability. Fortunately, Daqing Township still has green fruit wine to sell. Otherwise, I would be worried to death." Du Yan smiled at Guo Songlin, "Speaking of which, wait a minute. Our winery has been expanded, and I would like to ask you to give a speech when the time comes. We are so good at pretending to be powerful." "You kid, you know how to be powerful all day long," Guo Songlin scolded Du Yan half-seriously, and then laughed. "I will definitely go as long as I have time," he said. "Thank you, County Magistrate Guo." Du Yan immediately answered and said goodbye after seeing that it was almost done. Looking at Du Yan's back, Guo Songling thought for a moment, then turned and walked into the office and picked up the phone: "Daqing Township, this is Guo Songlin, please answer the phone with Shi Changgeng." After leaving the county party committee compound, Du Yan was not in a hurry. Going home, he walked slowly on the street while recalling his previous conversation with Li Peizheng. Seriously speaking, Du Yan was not very satisfied with this conversation, and perhaps Li Peizheng felt the same way in his heart. Du Yan knew that although Li Peizheng had expressed support for him on many things, such as the idea of ??establishing a three-town economic zone in one place, Li Peizheng was very active, but Du Yan could feel that in terms of utilization and gradually Li Peizheng not only seemed not enthusiastic about the transfer of technical personnel from Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory and several other state-owned enterprises, but was even slightly resistant. Du Yan knew that in the eyes of cadres with Li Peizheng's concept, transferring the technical equipment and personnel of the heavy machinery factory to the new one town and three places economic zone to work for certain private enterprises was a typical case of poaching the country. Behavior. Although Du Yan expected Li Peizheng's attitude, Du Yan was still slightly disappointed. The understanding of Li Peizheng's character made Du Yan know that this difference is just a small beginning. As time goes by and the two people have different ideas, maybe one day this difference will develop to the point where it cannot be bridged. Du Yan hopes that this time will come later. Du Yan admits that he has feelings for Li Peizheng. He admires Li Peizheng's dedication and open mind, but he also knows that he cannot face what is coming just by relying on these. Hugely difficult. Du Yan walked silently on the road. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the leather bag under his arm. Inside was the report on establishing an economic zone that he had shown Li Peizheng before. But what Li Peizheng didn't know was that in that bag, There is another piece of information that is richer than what he saw, but also more radical. That is for Ding Bingxian to see. ¡°However, Du Yan did not want to hand this document to Ding Bingxian in the county party committee courtyard. For the same person, as the deputy secretary of the county party committee and as an elder, the meaning of the overly sensitive content in it is completely different. "Du Yan, it's really you." A voice sounded not far away. Du Yan turned around and saw a young man and woman holding a little girl standing in front of a store. After thinking for a moment, he recognized this. The two were his classmates in high school, and now it seems that not only are they married, but they also have children. "Grandson, it's you." Du Yan smiled and walked up. Speaking of which, this person was one of the few people he had a good relationship with in middle school, besides Ding Hongwei. "You still call me this nickname, be careful I'll beat you up." Sun Feng raised his fist and shook it, then laughed loudly, "I heard that your kid is doing well now and has entered the county party committee compound? You are indeed a college student." Du Yan listened. It was said that Sun Feng failed to pass the college entrance examination, and later his father used connections to enter the two-year vocational school at the Heavy Machinery Factory. After graduation, he directly entered the Heavy Machinery Factory. "I'm no longer in the county party committee compound, do some other work." Du Yan said while looking at Sun Feng's wife, which made Sun Feng very proud. "Unexpectedly, Wang Liqing is my wife now," Sun Feng raised his chin as if to show off, and then asked curiously, "How are you and Su Qian doing? Does her mother still oppose you?" "It's not bad, that's right. You really let Wang Liqing take down you, you are so spineless," Du Yan teased Sun Feng and his wife. "There is no way, a good man is also afraid of having to rely on a woman to grind him down. Several timesI can't help it after the age of 20." Sun Feng's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of his wife next to him. With a slight scream, Wang Liqing pinched Sun Feng hard. "Don't listen to his nonsense," Wang Liqing has a straightforward personality, no less than Man, she put the child into her husband's arms and started talking to Du Yan, "It's right to say that you didn't enter the heavy machinery factory, just to be snobbish like Su Qian's mother, if you had entered like Sun Feng Heavy Machinery Factory, and Su Qian really have no chance. "At this point, Wang Liqing sighed, "Look at us now, both of us are in the heavy machinery factory. At first, we thought that we would have hope for the country's iron rice bowl in this life, but now" "Okay, okay, don't mention those troubles. "Yes," Sun Feng interrupted his wife impatiently, "Du Yan, what are you doing now? Which unit in the county do you work for?" " "I am in Daqing Township now. "Du Yan replied with a smile. A look of surprise appeared on the faces of Sun Feng and his wife. They looked at each other, and the self-pity they had before disappeared immediately. On the contrary, they looked at Du Yan with eyes that seemed to say: Look, we are still here I thought I was unlucky enough, but now this one is even more unlucky than us. After breaking up with Mr. and Mrs. Sun Feng, Du Yan sighed softly in his heart when he saw their figures gradually disappearing. He knew that Mr. and Mrs. Sun Feng were exactly what they were now. According to the portrayal of many state-owned enterprise workers, no matter how difficult it is, they always firmly believe that the country will never let them go hungry, let alone abandon them. This concept is so strong and stubborn that they will not wake up until one day. They will find that they have not only been abandoned by the times, but also abandoned by the group they have always trusted and fought for all their lives. Holding the leather bag in his hand, Du Yan strode towards Ding Bingxian's house. He knew how difficult the road ahead was. , but he decided to go all the way! Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua New Star" Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Three Towns and One Place Ding Hongwei was not at home, and the New Year was approaching, which was also a rare busy day in the cultural center. However, even at home, Du Yan now had little time to hang around boringly with Ding Hongwei. This made Ding Hongwei complain more than once. , Du Yan has almost become an old antique like his father. Unlike the last time he came here, Du Yan saw that Ding Bingxian had actually built a glass greenhouse in his backyard. The greenhouse was filled with various flowers. Although the space was not large, he felt comfortable sitting in it. Ding Bingxian¡¯s wife Ruan Jue was a teacher at Taihua City Experimental No. 1 Middle School in her early years. After Ding Bingxian¡¯s official career failed, she followed him to Pingling and continued to teach at Pingling No. 1 Middle School. Ding Bingxian suddenly made a comeback, and Ruan Jue's salary naturally increased accordingly, from being just a deputy teacher to a head teacher. However, I heard that Ding Bingxian did not agree very much. According to him, his wife had more work and less time to take care of the family. Like her husband, Ruan Jue also likes Du Yan among Ding Hongwei¡¯s friends. Especially after Du Yan entered the official career, Ruan Jue asked Ding Hongwei to learn from Du Yan more than once. Sitting in a glass greenhouse surrounded by potted flowers, Ding Bingxian flipped through the report Du Yan brought him. Unlike Li Peizheng, although the above views were sharper and even pointed at certain areas of today's economy without hesitation, He even vaguely pointed out the shortcomings in certain political fields, but Ding Bingxian always looked calm, as if he was just reading an ordinary document. "Who has read this thing you wrote?" Ding Bingxian started to read it quickly, but after reading it, he went back and looked at it from the beginning again. This time he was much busier, and even the tea prepared by Ruan Jue on the table had already been After changing two pots, he raised his head and asked Du Yan. "Secretary Li has read it, but because I felt it was inconvenient for him to comment on some of the content, I made some necessary deletions." Du Yan did not hide it. His relationship with Li Peizheng and Ding Bingxian were different. , He is close to Li Peizheng and has a superior-subordinate relationship, while he and Ding Bingxian are more between mentors and friends. Ding Bing nodded first. He looked down at the report again, and he was so engrossed in it that he didn't even react when Ruan Jue came in. "You two, old and young, just talk about work when you get together. No wonder Hongwei said that Du Yan has almost turned into a little old man." Seeing that her husband ignored her, Ruan Jue was not angry, but picked up the food on the table. The teapot that was getting cold was replaced with another one. "Xiao Yan, this thing is incredible." Ding Bingxian, who finally finished reading, put the report on the wooden table and tapped it lightly with his fingers. "Do you know what you are doing? You are lifting the lid. This lid is not It's easy to expose, and maybe even Secretary Li will be very passive. " "I know that Secretary Li has already pointed out some of these problems," Du Yan said bluntly. He must get a conclusive attitude from Ding Bingxian, or at least know it in advance. How much resistance will we encounter? "But if we can't solve the current problem as soon as possible, we will be very passive when the problem really arises." "We?" Ding Bingxian leaned on the back of the rough wooden chair, holding his hand in his hand. Taking a sip of tea from the small clay pot, he asked with a hint of ridicule, "You really think about your worries before you live in a temple, and worry about your troubles before you seek a position." "Uncle Ding, don't be so harmful to others. "You might as well say that you are living on gutter oil and worry about Zhongnanhai. Du Yan secretly cursed in his heart. "Haha, it's rare that the mayor of the liquor store knows how embarrassed you are," Ding Bingxian laughed, but when his eyes fell on the report on the table, a trace of melancholy slowly appeared in his eyes. "Xiaoyan, these problems you mentioned are all In fact, I can even say that I can see that you have only touched on some things. For example, once the old heavy machinery factory starts bankruptcy proceedings, will the huge remaining assets become fat in the eyes of some people? Bankruptcy will cause a wave of unemployment, and whether there will even be a deliberate attempt to create the illusion of bankruptcy in order to plunder wealth. Although these are just speculations, it is good to be prepared for a rainy day. But Xiaoyan, have you ever thought about it, once your report is officially handed in? What you are facing may be a huge storm. You must understand the fact that this is not an opponent making things difficult for you, but that you yourself have taken the initiative to stand on the opposite side of the entire Pingling team. And I must tell you clearly, As a person, I agree with your point of view, but as the deputy secretary of the Pingling County Party Committee, I will not support you." Du Yan nodded silently. Although he also expected that there would be huge pressure, Ding Bingxian's statement still made him feel a lot of resistance. Oncoming! Seemingly seeing that Du Yan was in a low mood, Ding Bingxian turned around and said to his wife who was standing nearby listening to their conversation: "Help me wrap up the calligraphy I wrote yesterday and I will take it away to Xiao Yan later." "Uncle Ding has another calligraphy treasure. ¡± Du Yan asked overjoyed, Ding Bingxian asked.?A member of the association. Although this association has gradually changed from a simple club of hobbies to some kind of social occasion due to the participation of many veteran cadres, which has reduced its value, Ding Bingxian studied under the famous calligrapher of Hexi Province in his early years. Mr. Fanhu thus developed calligraphy that rivaled that of his master. "Write whatever you want, just express your thoughts." Ding Bingxian said nonchalantly, then he looked at Du Yan and asked, "I remember telling you that Secretary Li will go to the province after the Chinese New Year to attend the training class for middle-aged and young cadres. "Okay." "I know, Secretary Li also told me." Du Yan nodded slightly. Half a year after arriving at Pingling, Li Peizheng got an opportunity to participate in the training of young and middle-aged cadres at the provincial party school level and above. When this news came, Pingling official circles were slightly shaken. Li Peizheng has just turned 40 this year. Although his position as a county party committee member does not seem to be very prominent, the meaning is obvious after he had the opportunity to participate in such a training class in just six months. ¡°I heard that Secretary Qu may make some moves next year.¡± Ding Bingxian revealed another piece of news. Du Yan knew that Secretary Qu was talking about Qu Xiangshan, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Taihua City, a staunch supporter of Li Peizheng in his official career. When Du Yan first became Li Peizheng's secretary, the first thing he encountered was Song Jiayi's The incident led to Qu Xiangshan's intervention. "In the province?" Du Yan asked softly. After he asked the question, he felt a little funny. He was so far away from these people, but he was still worried about whether it was really because he was eating gutter oil and was worried about Zhongnanhai. . "The situation in Taihua will change by then," Ding Bingxian glanced at Du Yan. If these things had nothing to do with Du Yan before, but after reading his report, Ding Bingxian could understand that after hearing the news, Du Yan The trace of worry appeared in Yan's eyes. A single move can affect the whole body. Du Yan now has reason to worry about this kind of thing. "Okay, please leave your report here for now. I'll take a closer look." Ding Bingxian stood up, "And don't forget to take the calligraphy I gave you." Although it was already late when I came out, It was not easy to go to Li Peizheng's house with the calligraphy given by Ding Bingxian, so Du Yan had to take a detour home first. What's more, although the relationship with Li Peizheng is different, after all, this is the first time to meet his family, so you can't come empty-handed and you have to be prepared. To Du Yan's surprise, the door of the house was locked and closed. Du Zhenhai and Sang Shulan were not at home. Du Fei was about to take the college entrance examination and should still be studying at school at this time, so Du Yan had to open the hospital by himself. Door. What Ding Bingxian gave to Du Yan was a poem on bamboo and stone written by Zheng Banqiao. Looking at the jagged words and phrases "Still strong despite being struck by the winds of east, west, north and south", Du Yan couldn't help but secretly sigh, Ding Bingxian was still unwilling to give up. Loneliness is round on the outside and square on the inside. Du Zhenhai and his wife never returned home, so Du Yan didn't wait any longer. He took out two bottles of strange-looking green fruit wine brought from Daqing Township in plain ceramic jars, and Du Yan rode to Li Peizheng's house. The person who opened the door was a slightly plump middle-aged woman. It was obvious that she was a farm woman who worked in the fields all year round. She was holding a rag in her slightly rough hands, and she was probably cleaning the house. "Who are you looking for?" the middle-aged woman looked at Du Yan and asked. Most of the Pingling cadres who often came to visit were middle-aged people in their forties. For this young man who seemed to be about the same age as her son, she thought she had gone to the wrong door. "Hello, are you Aunt He? My name is Du Yan. I used to be Secretary Li's secretary." Du Yan asked with a smile. He had seen photos of Li Peizheng's family, so he immediately recognized this middle-aged woman as Li Peizheng's lover. "Xiao Du, you came at the right time, and you really came here to enjoy the meal." Li Peizheng's laughter came from the room. Li Peizheng's lover immediately put a smile on his face. She had heard her husband mention the name of the young man named Du Yan more than once earlier. She could tell that her husband thought highly of this young man, and she heard that the house was full of people. It was prepared by Du Yan when he was his secretary, so she naturally had a good impression of Du Yan. In addition to Li Peizheng, there was a boy about seventeen or eighteen years old in the living room. However, when Du Yan came in, the boy was still sitting there watching TV, but he ignored him. "Yi Ming, get up and greet the guests." Li Peizheng frowned and scolded his son, but the boy just raised his head and glanced at Du Yan, but did not speak. Du Yan found it a bit funny. Half-year-old children at this age are rebellious. When he thought about it, when he was this old, his parents had to worry a lot. During the meal, Li Peizheng's lover opened the two bottles of wine that Du Yan had brought and placed one on the table. Li Peizheng couldn't help but be stunned when he smelled the aroma of the wine in the simple porcelain wine jar. "This??Green fruit wine? He picked up the wine glass and smelled it again and asked strangely, "It's not the same as what I've had before." " "Of course it's different, Secretary Li. If nothing else, the packaging of the wine is almost half as expensive as the green fruit wine you drank before. "Looking at Li Peizheng's stunned expression, Du Yan smiled slightly, "This level of green fruit wine is brewed with a special secret recipe. The output is small and the cost is high. If it is sold together with the ordinary green fruit wine, there are not many wineries in Daqing Township. The sky has to be closed. " "Then why are you doing this? If you can't produce things in batches, you can't keep the cost down. Are you brewing this kind of high-end wine just to give gifts to leaders? "Li Peizheng's face was a bit ugly. He kept to Du Yan, but because of this, he was even more worried that Du Yan would make the wrong move because he was young. "Of course not, Uncle Li," Du Yan changed his tone and shouted, He knew very clearly when to use what name. "Of course we have to bring this special brew to the market, and the price must not be lower, at least this amount. "He made a gesture. "Eighty? "Li Peizheng was stunned. "It's eight hundred, eight hundred and eighty-eight, some in whole and some in parts. "Du Yan said with a smile. "Are you crazy about money? Who would spend less than a thousand dollars to buy your bottle of wine? This is enough for an average family to earn half a year's salary. "Li Peizheng laughed. "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if no one buys it now. Someone will buy it soon. Besides, this kind of wine still needs to be stored in the cellar for aging, so there is no rush. " Du Yan smiled nonchalantly. He had long been prepared to take a bite of the sky-high-priced wine market that would become popular across the country in a few years. In addition, he had greater ambitions for the future of Qingguo wine. But he was naturally not the one who came to visit today. In order to promote Qingguo wine, after eating and drinking, Du Yan accompanied Li Peizheng to the study, and his expression gradually became serious. "Secretary Li, I had something to do at the county committee during the day because it was inconvenient to talk about it, so I wanted to take this opportunity to report to you. . "Du Yan said carefully. At this time, he was not Li Peizheng's nephew, nor his former secretary, but the mayor of Daqing Township. "Say it. "Li Peizheng lit a cigarette. He could feel that what Du Yan said to him might be a very important thing. "Secretary Li, I think the development of three towns in one place is an inevitable trend. The economies of these three places They are all relatively backward. If you go it alone, you have poor foundation and poor technology, and you cannot achieve scale at all. If you want to increase the speed of development and enhance competitiveness, you must make unified arrangements. Unified planning is the way out," Du Yan expressed the idea that he had already prepared. ¡°The unified arrangement I am talking about is unification at the administrative level. Only in this way can efficiency be maximized. " "Wait a minute," Li Peizheng interrupted Du Yan, "do you mean to abolish the administrative establishment of Daqing Township, Shuangdui Town and Liuliji and establish a separate administrative level? " "Yes, only in this way can the effect be maximized. Otherwise, the loose alliance is meaningless. Not only is it ineffective, it may even consume each other. "Du Yan's tone was firm. Now that he has proposed it, he will never look back. "Establishing a unified economic zone and using the respective advantages of the three towns to form a unified area are my suggestions. " "Establish a unified economic zone to form a scale of three towns and one place? "Li Peizheng frowned tightly. He stood up and walked back and forth in the room. After a while, he stopped and said, "Xiao Du, do you know what your suggestion means? " Seeing Du Yan just nodding silently, Li Peizheng smiled bitterly: "Xiao Du, you really give me problems. " Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 22 Chapter 22 The opponent appears first Cancel the establishment of the existing three towns and merge them to form a unified economic development zone. This is the real core content of the three towns and one place that Du Yan has been talking about! For such a plan that is more ambitious than ambitious, even Li Peizheng has always supported Du Yan. We must also be cautious and do not want to express our opinions easily. Just thinking about abolishing the administrative establishment of three towns is enough to make people feel uneasy. How many people's interests will be involved? How many people will be willing to risk their lives because of this? Li Peizheng couldn't help but be shocked by Du Yan's bold plan. At the same time, he couldn't help but take into account the huge resistance that would inevitably arise. "Three towns, Xiao Du," Li Peizheng reminded in a solemn tone, "Do you know how many cadres there are in these three towns? How many people will bear a grudge against you because of your suggestion?" "I didn't think about it. " Du Yan's answer made Li Peizheng helpless for a while. He smiled slightly and lit up a cigarette again: "Xiao Du, you should know that if you can't find a reasonable arrangement, your plan will not be implemented, but it will be submitted to the county committee. "I have thought about this," Du Yan said with a smile. He pulled his chair forward and sat across from Li Peizheng. "Secretary Li, do you think you can adjust your legs a little bit?" Maybe the economic zone can't start immediately, but I think the previous work must be done, but now it seems that Shuangdui's team is not suitable." "Shuangdui?" Li Peizheng frowned slightly. He did not have a good impression of Dui's town secretary Sun Qizhi and mayor Liu Wang. When he went to the countryside for investigation, he had already seen that those two people were not good leaders. After half a year, Li Peizheng actually had a negative impression of Shuangdui's team. Already very insightful. However, Li Peizheng also knows that it is not that easy to move a town team. Although he has established a firm foothold and opened up the situation in the past six months, if he wants to take action on personnel issues related to a town, the impact is bound to be considerable, and Guo How Songlin would react was Li Peizheng's first consideration. "Secretary Li, Shuangdui is a well-known poverty-stricken town. If poverty cannot be lifted out of poverty as soon as possible, it is likely to affect the future development of Pingling. After all, although Shuangdui is the most peripheral place in Pingling, it is also a gateway to Pingling and is directly connected to Pingling. The key to affecting Pingling's impression. "Du Yan knew that Li Peizheng knew all this, but when he said these words, it touched Li Peizheng's nerves even more. "Promoting the three towns and one place economic zone can fundamentally solve this problem, but the two sides The current team is really not promising. " "It seems that you are well prepared," Li Peizheng had heard the meaning of Du Yan's words. He couldn't help but be surprised by Du Yan's bold ambition. Who would have thought that a mayor who has only been in office for a month has already set his sights on the chair of another town at the same level as himself. "Do you have anyone in your hands?" "There is one, Zhai Min, director of the town committee office." Du. Yan smiled sheepishly, saying that he could just ask for an official position by himself, but that he could ask for an official position from the people below him. This was really unjustifiable. But I think so, but I still have to say something, and once I speak, I will never stop. "Lao Zhai has rich work experience. What is rare is that as a grassroots cadre, he is willing to do things for the masses with his heart. On this point, I believe The cadres in Shuangdui must learn from him. " Li Peizheng was secretly thinking that he still supported the concept of three towns and one place economic zone proposed by Du Yan. What he couldn't accept was Du Yan's approach to Pingling. The description of the current situation is too bleak and the attitude towards the future is too pessimistic. In addition, when thinking about Guo Songlin, Li Peizheng had to be wary. If the three-town-one economic zone was really promoted, Li Peizheng was not sure whether Guo Songlin would interfere with it. "Zhai Min can go to Shuangdui and become the deputy mayor. After all, the situation in Shuangdui is not optimistic. It is a stagnant water. It is always good to have someone there to stir things up," Li Peizheng said slowly. My own thoughts: "But we need to communicate with County Magistrate Guo about this, and what about your vacant position as director of the county party committee office? You won't just charge blindly without paying attention to defense." "There is also a candidate, he is from the town middle school. Principal Hu Weiping, the former son of County Magistrate Hu," Du Yan took over. Hearing Du Yan's words, Li Peizheng couldn't help but look at him deeply. As the old leader of Pingling, County Magistrate Lao Hu now lives in the county. Before holidays and social gatherings with veteran cadres, Li Peizheng would take the opportunity to visit the Magistrate. However, he did not expect that Du Yan would use Lao Hu. The county magistrate's son was chosen as the candidate to succeed the director of the Lao Zhai Town Committee Office, and it was heard that the county magistrate Lao Hu himself happened to be from Daqing Township, which made Li Peizheng have to admit that Du Yan made this move very well. "You really planned everything," Li Peizheng patted the armrest of the chair and looked at Du Yan with his head tilted.?Are you so confident in your own three-town-one economic zone? You have to know that if you make the wrong move, you may have to spend a few more years in Daqing Township. Is this risk worth it? " "Some things have to be done by someone," Du Yan looked at Li Peizheng calmly. "To be honest, Secretary Li, if I just stay through the qualifications, maybe I can return to the county in two years, but what's the point? I I want to do something that at least people will remember me after I leave. It's as simple as that. " "Serving as an official for one term will benefit one party? Li Peizheng seemed to be asking Du Yan, but he seemed to be asking himself. Then he looked seriously into Du Yan's eyes and asked, "In addition, do you really think that the development of Pingling in the future will be as stated in your report?" "Yes, Secretary Li, it may even be worse. After all, several companies in Pingling are now almost at the end of their rope." " Du Yan sighed secretly while answering. He knew that Li Peizheng asked him this question just because of his previous words. Even Ding Bingxian, couldn't he only express his agreement with his own point of view in private? As for Li Peizheng , whether it was his character or his status as county party committee secretary, it was impossible for him to support and agree with his views. Sure enough, when he heard what Du Yan said, Li Peizheng frowned: "Okay, Xiao Du. Some of your views are too radical and even a little alarmist. This is not a good thing. Just tell me about it. I hope you can treat this matter carefully and seriously. " Li Peizheng said, his expression became increasingly serious, and Du Yan's heart skipped a beat. " There has been a long-standing domestic debate over which path to take in the economic field, and many of them have occurred because this debate involves more sensitive things, which eventually led to Li Peizheng said this, obviously thinking of some bad history. This was certainly a concern for Du Yan, but considering his status as secretary of the county party committee, it was actually a very serious warning! However, Li Peizheng still agreed to bring Du Yan's suggestion to the secretary's office meeting. In fact, when he said this, Li Peizheng was not very confident. After all, no one should be cautious about such a big move. What surprised Li Peizheng was that before he said goodbye, Du Yan suddenly told him a piece of news: "Secretary Li, the Daqing Township Winery will be expanded after this year. Comrade Chang Geng will preside over the ceremony. I think of asking County Magistrate Guo to do so at that time." Do you think it¡¯s okay to attend and lay the foundation stone for the new factory? " Li Peizheng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded silently, but his eyes became slightly heavy when he looked at Du Yan. Li Peizheng never expected that in order to realize the three towns and one place economic zone, Du Yan was really willing to give up, and even more so. Got it! Even people who don¡¯t know much about the situation in Daqing Township can think of what Daqing Township has done in the past six months when they hear Du Yan¡¯s nickname of ¡°the mayor who sells wine¡±. No matter where you go, it can be said that it is a very real political achievement, and when evaluating whether an official is qualified and excellent, these things are his report card. If it were any person, he would have such a strong performance just after taking office. Anyone who knows a little bit about the situation knows that the establishment of Daqingxiang Winery has a deep relationship with Du Yan from beginning to end. But now, Du Yan is just a word away. He easily gave up such a big political achievement, but the purpose was just for the idea of ??three towns and one place, which still seemed slim. This made Li Peizheng surprised by Du Yan's courage, but also felt deeply. It was already very late when Du Yan came out from Li Peizheng's house, and he couldn't help but think of Su Qian, who had promised to spend the next few days with Su Qian during the New Year. It seems that Qian's promise is about to be broken again. Du Yan can't help but feel a little guilty for neglecting his lover after waking up from the dream. Thinking about it carefully, Su Qian was always by his side even when he was at his lowest before waking up from the dream. , but now he has neglected her a lot. Du Yan sighed in his heart, maybe from the moment he woke up, the fate of himself and the people around him has changed to some extent. As for what will happen in the future, as time goes by. As time went by, many things that had happened were completely different from before, but no one could explain it clearly anymore. Du Yan was thinking wildly as he rode his bicycle in his direction. At this time, the county town was still incomparable to that of later generations. There was no such thing at night. What a rich nightlife. In winter, when it was just 1 o'clock, the streets were already empty and there was no one around. As he was about to get home, Du Yan suddenly saw an alley not far from his house. There are several people talking at the mouth.Under the dim light of the street lights, Du Yan saw his father Du Zhenhai among them, and it seemed that Du Zhenhai was a little excited and was arguing with one of them. Seeing Du Yan riding a bicycle from a distance, Du Zhenhai stopped and said hello to those people. Although the person arguing with him seemed a little unwilling, he seemed a little afraid of Du Zhenhai. Finally, he and several other people He turned around and left helplessly. "Dad, is something wrong?" Du Yan asked concernedly as he got out of the car. "It's a colleague from the factory," Du Zhenhai replied dully. He looked up to see what Du Yan seemed to say, but in the end he didn't say anything. "Go home, it's cold outside." According to the customs of Chinese people for many years, it has never been very Concerned about the Gregorian New Year. Even more than 20 years later, even as the younger generation grows up, various Western festivals are just the product of businessmen creating momentum for profit. As for now, the last day of 1990 has passed unknowingly. If it weren't for the fact that New Year's Day happens to fall on a Sunday, the atmosphere has become a lot more lively. Maybe many people don't even know that when the bell rings, , has entered the new year. On the morning of January 1, 1991, Du Yan got up early. Because it was the first day of the new year, Du Fei, who was nervous about studying, had a rare day off. After pestering Du Yan, they had breakfast together and watched the previous day. After not watching the full broadcast of the New Year's party because he was too sleepy, Du Fei finally let go of the frightened and anxious Du Yan. After muttering for a while, he watched his brother run out of the house in a hurry. When he was approaching the downstairs of Su Qian's house, a motorcycle suddenly passed by Du Yan, and then the motorcycle stopped at the entrance of the corridor. As he took off his helmet, a young man looked at the rearview mirror of the motorcycle. After stroking his hair, he took out two bottles of wine from the trunk and entered the building. Du Yan also walked into the building door immediately, but as he went up one floor, the young man couldn't help but start to turn around and pay attention to Du Yan who was walking up. When the two of them were standing at the door of Su Qian's house, the young man couldn't help but look up and down. Come on Du Yan. Perhaps hearing the sound at the door, the door opened with a click, and Gu Weifen's face that always seemed to be picky about something appeared at the door. Because she was walking in front, the young man blocked the entire door. Gu Weifen did not see Du Yan next to her. When she saw the young man, she was a little surprised at first, and then showed a look of joy: "Xiao Zhang, come here. "It's really early." "Auntie, let me wish you a happy New Year first," the young man said as he walked inside and handed the wine in his hand to Gu Weifen. "This is a small gift for the uncle." "Why are you bringing something here?" Gu Gu Weifen said as she went to close the door. When she saw Du Yan standing at the door, she couldn't help but have a look of surprise on her face. "Auntie, Su Qian and I are classmates and colleagues. She can help me a lot during this training." The young man said and turned around. Seeing the strange look on Gu Weifen's face, he turned to look at the person standing Outside the door, Du Yan had a strange look on his face. "Mom, who's here? Is it Du Yan?" Su Qian's questioning voice came from the back room. Hearing Su Qian's voice, Du Yan smiled slightly. After calling Gu Weifen softly, "Auntie," he stepped out of the way. Walked in next to the young man at the door. Gu Weifen looked at the two people standing in the room anxiously. She naturally knew the purpose of Xiao Zhang's coming to Su Qian. Before attending the financial system training class in Donghai City, this Xiao Zhang began to approach Su Qian, which had attracted Gu Weifen's attention. Later, I heard that after the training, he directly entered the Taihua City Finance Bureau. For such a person As a young man with a background, Gu Weifen felt that he was much better than Du Yan in every aspect. What's more, Du Yan was actually sent down to a lower town to be a shabby mayor. This has long made Gu Weifen dissatisfied. During this time, he was nagging in her daughter's ears. But there was one thing in Gu Weifen's mind that she still couldn't let go of. Du Yan obviously already had that kind of relationship with his daughter. Now seeing Du Yan and Xiao Zhang appearing at the same time, it really made Gu Weifen feel a little dizzy. As soon as the door to the back room rang, Su Qian hurried out of the room, but when she saw the two people standing in the hall, she couldn't help but froze. "Qianqian, Happy New Year." Xiao Zhang said as he took out a regular box from his pocket. When the box was opened, Gu Weifen was immediately attracted by the fine-looking necklace inside. "This is a New Year gift for you, isn't it?" Very good, I will ask someone to bring you a pair of Hong Kong products from Guangcheng during the Spring Festival." As he said that, Xiao Zhang took out the necklace from the box, as if he was trying to put it on for Su Qian. Seeing his action, Du Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and Su Qian couldn't help but show anxiety when she saw Du Yan's expression.  "Come, Qianqian, let me put it on for you." Xiao Zhang said as he walked over holding the necklace. "Zhang Tao, what are you doing?" Su Qian suddenly stepped back. Her voice was excited and she looked at Du Yan uneasily. "We are just colleagues. Why do you give me things?" "We are not just colleagues, right?" Zhang Tao didn't take Su Qian's question seriously, and turned back to Gu Weifen and said, "Auntie, look, Qianqian is still embarrassed." "Zhang Tao!" Su Qian couldn't help shouting angrily. During this time, she had already been because of Gu Weifen. She kept nagging in her ears and felt upset. Now she saw Zhang Tao actually acting like something happened to them in front of Du Yan. Su Qian, who was so angry that she couldn't help but feel dizzy with anger! Du Yan, who had been standing by the side, suddenly moved. He rudely pushed Zhang Tao away, who was still holding the necklace. He walked up and stretched out his hand to support Su Qian. At the same time, he shouted to the stunned Gu Weifen: "Bring the sugar water!" Hearing Du Yan's low roar made Gu Weifen turn around and run towards the kitchen as if he had come to his senses. At the same time, Du Yan had already taken out a piece of toffee from the bag he had brought, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into Su Qian's mouth: "You little fool, look at you. You're so anxious, I still don't believe you. You knew you were hypoglycemic and you weren't careful enough to make me anxious?" A blush appeared on Su Qian's slightly pale face, and she had a bulging Du Yanshi in her mouth. The look of the toffee given to her made a certain part of Du Yan's body react in some way at this inappropriate occasion. No matter how stupid the man named Zhang Tao was, he could see the relationship between the two people. He stared at Du Yan with a livid face, thinking that his pursuit in the training class for more than two months had no results because of this person in front of him. A hint of malice could not help but appear in his eyes. But he quickly calmed down, with a forced smile on his face: "Hello, my name is Zhang Tao, I belong to Qianqian" "Get out." Du Yan's voice was very calm, as calm as if She was greeting others, but Su Qian, who was held in his arms, felt that his arms suddenly became tense and strong at this moment, as if he would raise his fist and hit Zhang Tao on the head at any time. "What did you say?" Zhang Tao's smile froze on his face. He didn't expect that this little country bumpkin in the county would dare to talk to him like this. At the same time, he looked at Gu Weifen, who had just walked into the hall with sugar water, "Who are you? Why? "Let me go?" "I didn't let you go," Du Yan still looked calm, but his tone became colder, "I told you to get out, get out now, and you are not allowed to come to Su Qian's house again, understand. Are you here?" "Who are you!" Zhang Tao couldn't help but yelled, "Why did you let me go?" "It seems that you don't want to leave by yourself, you need my help," Du Yan said. Su Qian was released and walked towards Zhang Tao. "Du Yan!" Gu Weifen shouted, "What are you doing? This is our home, not a place for you to run wild." He tilted his head and glanced at Gu Weifen. Du Yan's eyes flashed with a sharp look. He had been treating Gu Weifen for two generations. She didn't have any good feelings. Although she knew that Gu Weifen was thinking about her daughter, it was difficult for Du Yan to forgive the harm her behavior caused to Su Qian. "Du Yan" Su Qian, who was a little worried when she saw Du Yan's expression, immediately called out. She really didn't want to see an irreparable conflict between the two people she loved most. Hearing Su Qian's plaintive cry, Du Yan sighed secretly. He could ignore Gu Weifen's thoughts, but he must not ignore Su Qian's feelings. Du Yan turned around and looked at Zhang Tao and said word by word: "I don't care who you are, leave now and you won't be allowed to tangle with Su Qian again in the future. Next time I see you entangled, don't even think about it." Stay in Pingling." Zhang Tao couldn't help but be startled by Du Yan's words. He looked at Du Yan again, and after a while, he squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "Okay, let's see!" After that, he said. He glared at Du Yan fiercely, turned around and walked out of the room. Gu Weifen held the bowl of sugar water and looked at Du Yan blankly. Over the years, in her mind, Du Yan has always been that honest, somewhat useless young man, but she never expected that he would suddenly become a different person. Starting from the summer, something like this happened to Du Yan. Many things. Listening to Du Yan¡¯s words just now, and thinking about some vague news, Gu Weifen suddenly realized that the young man in front of her was no longer the Du Yan she had always looked down on! ¡°At least those words just now, not many people in Pingling are qualified to say them. Downstairs, Zhang Tao, who was furious, found a phone booth and dialed a number: "Dad, it's me, Xiao Tao. Please check this person for me. The guy from Pingling is named Du Yan. He seems to have some origins."   "Du Yan?" A voice on the other side of the phone was slightly surprised, "Why did you have a conflict with him?" "Do you know this person?" Zhang Tao asked with some surprise, "He competed with me for a woman, and I had to kill him. No!" "Don't be ridiculous!" The man on the phone became stern. "Go home first and talk about this slowly." "Dad, what does this Du Yan do?" Zhang Tao asked curiously. "He's a little guy with some skills. Don't mess with him." At this point, the person on the phone said in a doting tone, "Don't worry, son, someone will take care of him." Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua New Star" Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Step by Step Since the Zhang Tao incident, Gu Weifen's attitude towards Du Yan has quietly changed. Although she still showed some face from time to time, once Du Yan really showed an unhappy look, she would quietly put away her face as if someone owed her a lot of money. And in front of Su Qian, she didn't nag Du Yan behind his back every day. Although she would remind her daughter a little when she took the opportunity, compared with before, she was slightly afraid of Du Yan. " Du Yan knew that Su Qian definitely didn't want to see the conflict between her mother and him, but she probably didn't want to see her mother's fearful attitude towards him, so he respected Gu Weifen more. Du Yan has gained a lot from these days at home. In addition to teaching a competitor who jumped out of nowhere and making Gu Weifen more knowledgeable, the most important thing is that he has learned a lot from these few days. Tian had the opportunity to visit Li Peizheng, Ding Bingxian and Tu Xiangdong one after another. After repeatedly explaining and elaborating his ideas to them, Du Yan believed that his plan should have a basis for attracting attention. Du Yan was not naive enough to believe that the three towns and one economic zone could be raised as a formal issue at the county committee standing committee so quickly. Even if the county standing committee agrees, if the establishment of three towns is to be abolished at the same time, this will require a city meeting to make a decision. Du Yan didn't have that much time to wait for the city to make a final decision. All he needed to do was to get things started as soon as possible. Whether it was a so-called fait accompli like a threat or a pre-emptive measure, he had to do it. Let people in these places take action first. Only in this way can we really attract the attention of the county and even the city. Because of this idea, Du Yan has been running around non-stop in the past few days, and his chance encounter with Sun Feng on the street also reminded him of the current situation of some old heavy machinery factories that he has always been concerned about. According to the classmate list when they graduated from high school, Du Yan quickly found Sun Feng's address. Although he was married, Sun Feng and Wang Liqing could only continue to live in the dormitory of the old heavy machinery factory with Sun Feng's parents because they did not have a house. inside. Sun Feng¡¯s father, like Du Zhenhai, was the technical backbone of the old heavy machinery factory in the early years. However, because he was much older than Du Zhenhai, he had retired a few years ago. When we arrived at Sun Feng¡¯s house, Sun Feng happened to be at home. The two originally good classmates naturally became very involved in chatting when they got together. In Sun Feng¡¯s view, Du Yan should be considered inferior to him now, so although the situation of the old heavy machinery factory was actually very bad, he still showed a hint of pride when he spoke. Du Yan took the opportunity to inquire about the current situation of the young technicians at the old heavy machinery factory. From Sun Feng's words, he vaguely guessed that although many old workers still had deep feelings for the old heavy machinery factory, the young people had become more and more mature. It is increasingly unacceptable to accept the current situation. Du Yan knew that he would not hear such a situation from his father. Du Zhenhai obviously could not accept the attitude of the young people. Even while talking, Sun Feng's father was not happy because he overheard Sun Feng's complaints. He scolded his son. These young people only know how to make trouble for those who want food and drink in the factory. They don't know how to keep their heads down and work down-to-earth. Sun Feng got stubborn and fought with his father in front of Du Yan. He repeatedly pointed out the difficult situation of the heavy machinery factory. Later, he simply asked him directly whether his generation was the heavy machinery factory. After making a contribution, should I, as my son, continue to contribute like this? Sun Feng's father was very angry because his son was "ignorant", but he couldn't talk to his son. This made Du Yan feel a little embarrassed. After all, he was the one who started the topic, but he persuaded Sun Feng from the side. When his father found evidence of counterattack, he pointed at Du Yan and said: "Look at what people say. If you are in the county, you are in the county. If you go to the township, you will go to the township. You can work steadily wherever you are organized. I heard one complaint from others. Are you there? Why don¡¯t you just learn from those who are out of tune, especially your youth worker class monitor? What good is he doing to stir up trouble? That¡¯s what the Ten-Year Movement is now. Yes, he has been arrested as a counter-revolutionary. " Hearing what I said, Sun Feng's eyes at Du Yan became unhappy for a moment, which made Du Yan really dumbfounded that he was shot while lying down. However, his father and himself had never been together before. As already mentioned, and now based on the words of the Sun family and his son, Du Yan has realized that the heavy machinery factory has indeed reached a point where it is difficult to recover, or it may be more serious than not only the city and county, but even more serious than he had guessed. Du Yan knows better than anyone at this time how the old heavy machinery factory will end up! In the previous life, despite thousands of people placing their hopes on it, and despite the county and city¡¯s best efforts to save it, the old heavy machinery factory soon reached its final days. In the previous life, during that periodMany things happened in this time, and even after many years, Du Yan couldn't help but sigh when he thought of those misfortunes. Now that all this has appeared in front of him, he has an opportunity to prevent those misfortunes from happening again, and this opportunity can be said to be a major milestone in his career, which makes Du Yan even more determined. Although Du Yan did not get a completely satisfactory answer from either Li Peizheng or Ding Bingxian, what he did not expect was that Tu Xiangdong, who had always been low-key in the past, showed a strong interest in his three towns and one economic zone. interest of. In fact, it was Du Xiangdong himself who took the initiative to mention this plan. When Du Yan invited Tu Xiangdong to have dinner at Liyuju, while drinking the green fruit wine that had become Liyuju's special drink, Tu Xiangdong first raised the issue of the plan for Daqing Township. View of the three towns. And from Tu Xiangdong¡¯s rather subtle demeanor when he mentioned Shuangdui team, Du Yan guessed that Li Peizheng had obviously mentioned to Tu Xiangdong about adjusting Shuangdui personnel. "Xiao Du, some people still have to use it. Even if they are just allowed to stand in that seat, it is still useful." Tu Xiangdong's voice was smooth and slightly feminine, which always sounded uncomfortable, that kind of It felt as if even if he greeted someone casually, there might be some hidden agenda in it. Speaking of which, Du Yan is still a little surprised. How can a person like Tu Xiangdong sit firmly in Diaoyutai? They are all untouchable. "Director Tu, you may have heard about the situation in Shuangdui. We really need someone who can stir up some trouble there." Du Yan frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Tu Xiangdong seemed to be quite interested in his plan. I am interested, but I have other ideas on personnel issues. "I know, Shuangdui Town, some people call that place Shuanggui Town," Tu Xiangdong smiled deeply, but he didn't know that the term he said would make many cadres famous in later generations. "Sun Qizhi and Liu Wang" I'm not new to the job, they are just a pair of old turtles who have been stationary for thousands of years. No matter how hard you try, don't let them follow you around. " Du Yan didn't expect that they would only hang around the county party committee compound. Tu Xiangdong was so familiar with the villages and towns below, which made him look at Tu Xiangdong a little strangely. Tu Xiangdong seemed to know what Du Yan was thinking. He picked up a mouthful of Liyuju's famous steamed fish soup. After savoring the taste, he said slowly: "Just because I don't care about some things doesn't mean I don't care." "Xiao Du, do you know how I have maintained this status quo for so many years?" After speaking, he looked at Du Yan with a meaningful look. Du Yan knew that the so-called current situation he was talking about was the reason why he, the director of the county party committee office, who was like an iron hat king, could always stand up. However, Du Yan did not expect that Tu Xiangdong would ask him such a question so bluntly, so Du Yan He shook his head knowingly and waited for Tu Xiangdong to say it himself. "It's because I know what I should care about and what I shouldn't care about, and I also know when to pretend to be a grandson, and when to just be a grandson." At this point, Tu Xiangdong raised his glass and took a sip, and then became drunk because of the wine. A cough. However, his appearance diluted the overly gloomy impression he usually gave people. "Xiao Du, I suggest that you don't move the cadres in Shuangdui. You can consider transferring Zhai Min, but don't let Zhai Min take over any of Sun Qizhi and Liu Wang's positions in the short term," Tu Xiangdong continued, "Anyway, you really The purpose is not to make one of my own people the secretary and mayor of Shuangdui. Since it is possible to let the two of them act as a wall in front, it may not be a solution. Besides, haven't you already done this in Daqing Township? You guys are doing it. I think the town's economic guidance group is actually pretty good." Speaking of this, Du Yan also understood what Tu Xiangdong meant. What surprised him was that he didn't expect that he had been building plank roads in secret. The trick was revealed to Tu Xiangdong. "I didn't start the economic guidance group," Du Yan said with a smile. Speaking of which, he really didn't expect that the economic guidance group that Shi Changgeng had set up in a hurry to seize power would actually take advantage of him to prepare for his future. The management agency of the economic zone has put up a front. Whenever he thinks of this, Du Yan sometimes has the urge to have fun. "That is completely Secretary Shi's guideline." "Xiao Du, I still think of Shi Changgeng." Familiar." Tu Xiangdong put down his chopsticks and smiled deeply. "This person has some ideas and has done party work, but he is not big-minded and is destined not to be a talent. What you should really pay attention to now is Liu Zhihui. He is now in your economic guidance group. "Yes, Mayor Liu is responsible for the daily work of the economic leadership group, right?"If he really listened, he knew that Tu Xiangdong was obviously going to reveal something to him. "Liu Zhihui, that's amazing." Tu Xiangdong leaned back and looked at Du Yan. "There are some things that Secretary Li is not suitable to say to you, and even Secretary Ding is not comfortable saying them. But it would be wrong if I didn't say them. Then the leader would be Will you have any objections to me? Xiao Du, you have to remember that Mayor Liu, who came from the province to work as a gilded man, may become your friend in the future, or he may become your enemy. It all depends on you. How far can we go in the end?" Tu Xiangdong picked up the unique flat round wine bottle on the table. While pouring the wine, he looked at the bottle and smiled: "Mayor of the wine seller, everyone calls you that. , But how many people know that this wine seller and porridge seller has to pay a price? " Hearing Tu Xiangdong's almost naked hint, Du Yan's heart moved. He didn't realize that Director Tu was quite optimistic about his future. It¡¯s just that he doesn¡¯t know whether what Tu Xiangdong said is that he compares himself to the wind music and is waiting for a price, or does he regard Mayor Xiao Du as a political future and prepare to get a rare commodity? It's time to walk and see. What surprised Du Yan was that he didn¡¯t expect that Liu Zhihui¡¯s background was really quite big. He was actually the son of Liu Ding, the executive deputy director of the Provincial Organization Department! This made Du Yan finally understand why after Liu Zhihui stabbed Shi Changgeng at a critical moment, Shi Changgeng still chose to live in harmony with him, and even gave him some of the benefits of the Jingzhi Group. Shi Changgeng himself may not know the origin of Liu Zhihui, but Guo Songling definitely warned Shi Changgeng. Speaking of which, Du Yan was quite satisfied with his return this time, because not only did he finally communicate and explain his views to several people who had been of great help to him, but overall, he also gained a lot of recognition. What surprised him even more was that he received a call from Zhao Youxun. After chatting with him for a few words, Zhao Youxun asked Du Yan to take care of Minister Dong of the Pingling People's Armed Forces Department on his behalf, citing his busy schedule. Zhao Youxun's obvious hint made Du Yan overjoyed. He knew that Song Jiayi or Qiao Luowei must be involved, but in this way, he could establish a relationship with Minister Dong who was a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. It was Du Yan who was now What you wish for. However, Du Yan did not tell Li Peizheng about this immediately. He knew very well that Zhao Youxun only meant to build a bridge between himself and Minister Dong. From the beginning to the end, he did not reveal any previous relationship with Li Peizheng or other Pingling leaders. Meaning, this signal is already obvious. Zhao Youxun obviously only did this because of the Song family, and did not want to get involved in the local political struggle in Pingling. What surprised Du Yan was that when he visited Minister Dong, Minister Dong, who didn't take it seriously at first, immediately changed his attitude when he heard that Du Yan was entrusted by Zhao Youxun. In addition, Du Yan also noticed that although Minister Dong was a county league cadre who came from the army in terms of rank, when he mentioned Zhao Youxun, Minister Dong's attitude was quite respectful. Thinking that Zhao Youxun is his direct superior. Although he is not very clear about the relationship between the troops, Du Yan also knows that due to the unique existence form of the army and the specific historical reasons of the domestic army, the factional relations within the army are much clearer than those at the local level. The seniority ranking in the military is a unique phenomenon that is followed by both China and foreign countries. This made Du Yan even more curious about Zhao Youxun's identity. He knew that Zhao Youxun's sister, Zhao Xiaoyun, was also a soldier at a young age. This was not unusual in some military families, but as a soldier, Zhao Xiaoyun and Qiao Luowei bodyguard, and Qiao Luowei, a young lady with a Song family background, seemed to have a very close relationship with Zhao Youxun, which made Du Yan couldn't help but guess Zhao Youxun's identity. Now that he thought about it, this Lieutenant Colonel Zhao seemed to be more than just a person. A simple character like a successful young officer. If there was anything that made Du Yan dissatisfied with his return this time, it was that Gu Weifen regarded Su Qian very much and guarded him as if he were guarding against thieves. After a few days, although he had quite a few With Su Qian, Du Yan was annoyed by the feeling that he could see and touch but couldn't eat. Before returning to Daqing Township, Du Yan came to the county party committee compound again, but this time he asked to see Guo Songlin. This surprised Guo Songlin's secretary Xiao Lu. Why did Li Peizheng's die-hard follower pissed County Magistrate Guo? coming? Du Yan once again requested Guo Songlin on behalf of Daqing Township to attend the foundation laying ceremony of the new winery after the new year. This time it was very formal. It was Shi Changgeng who asked Du Yan to invite County Magistrate Guo to Daqing Township to guide the work on behalf of Daqing Township Committee and Town Government. Looking at Du Yan's careful attitude towards integration, Guo Songlin felt a little emotional in his heart. Li Peizheng had a good subordinate, but it was a pity that he couldn't use it for himself. ? ???It is a good thing that a new winery is built in Daqing Township. I will definitely go to congratulate it when the time comes. "Guo Songlin's attitude was quite good. He had vaguely heard that Du Yan was promoting a project called the Three Towns and One Economic Zone. This made him realize that Du Yan not only voluntarily gave up the political achievements of the Qingguo Winery, but even now it seems that he has Li Peizheng acquiesced in transferring this political achievement to his own name, probably in exchange for his support for the three towns and one economic zone. As for this, Guo Songlin had other ideas, but he didn't need to be a junior like Du Yan. What to say, after all, Du Yan was not qualified to hear any explanation from him. New Year's Day of 1991 passed quickly. Although Du Yan did not want to separate, he had to say goodbye to Su Qian again for the time being. After a bumpy ride back to Daqing Township, what Du Yan didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the town office compound, he saw a Mitsubishi Pajero parked in the yard domineeringly. Seeing this Pajero, Du Yan's mind went crazy. Suddenly, as the door of his office opened, as expected, Song Jiayi's sturdy figure appeared at the door. Behind him, Miss Ou, who was wearing an elegant dark winter coat, seemed to always be serious and alert. Lao Chai followed behind. ¡°Du Mi, I¡¯m here to drink your Daqing Township¡¯s green fruit wine. Are you welcome? Song Jiayi's face was filled with a warm smile, and then his dark face straightened slightly and he said, "Also, I'm just here to cause you some trouble." " Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua New Star" Chapter 25 Chapter 24 Young Master Song's Carrot and Stick Although Song Jiayi's arrival was slightly unexpected by Du Yan, he immediately understood the reason. ¡°If 1990 was difficult internationally due to special reasons in the previous year, then 1991 is of vital importance to the country. The economy has regressed due to political influence. In the 1990s, you could still use the severe domestic situation and the poor economic environment as an excuse. After more than a year, the storm has passed, but the domestic economy still has not eased at all, and even The situation is getting worse, which forces the central and upper levels to make certain policy decisions. 1991 should be an even more wonderful year. Looking at the smile on Song Jiayi's face, Du Yan was also thinking that although the eldest son of the Song family could not compare with his foresight, his special status and environment should make it easier for him to seize opportunities than others, even without relying on The huge background of the Song family, and their ability to see farther than others, are enough to give a capable person an excellent opportunity, let alone Song Jiayi. "Mr. Song, it will be a great help to us that you can come to our Daqing Township." Du Yan's words are not a compliment. If Song Jiayi's first visit was just a quick glance, then the second time The series of large and small personnel changes that occurred in Taihua and subsequently in Hexi Province are enough to show that the Song family has noticed at a higher level the role that this inland province may play in the future. Now Song Jiayi came directly to Daqing Township for the third time. From this point on, Du Yan was sure that the Song family had obviously made the final decision. This has extraordinary significance for Du Yan, Daqing Township, and his plan. "To help, that is to help each other," Song Jiayi laughed. "Why don't I come here to ask for your help, Du Mi? After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager, and the current manager is not as good as you, the full manager." At this, a playful smile appeared in Song Jiayi's eyes: "Du Mi, your hand is not small, your hand is not small." Seeing Song Jiayi's attitude, Miss Ou and Lao Chai, who were standing behind him, couldn't help but look at each other secretly, because they were close to Song Jiayi People, they naturally know Song Jiayi's character better. This prince who seems careless at times is not only actually thoughtful, but also has a kind of arrogance in his bones. Because he had experienced some special experiences, Song Jiayi's mentality became more cynical. Not only for the younger generation of princelings, but also for some respected senior leaders, although he didn't say anything, he could still learn from it. It can be seen in some of his attitudes that he is very dismissive. But now towards this small town official, Song Jiayi showed rare humility, and it could be seen from his expression that even if he had not yet placed Du Yan on an equal footing with him, his expression was However, there was no contempt at all, but he treated Du Yan completely as a person. "No matter how small the work is, it is nothing compared to Mr. Song's demeanor." Du Yan's words were not a compliment. He could imagine what kind of chain reaction it would have once the behemoth of the Song family started to move. If some old revolutionaries exerted their full power in the political arena after the founding of the People's Republic of China and formed several major forces in the current domestic political landscape, then Mr. Song of the Song family had a far-sighted vision and found other shortcuts. The Queen of Military Power, who was the source of Jun's suspicion, has vigorously developed in the economic field. Over the past few decades, she and her family have gradually formed a huge influence in the country that almost no one can match. What kind of impact will such a family have once it becomes active? Du Yan felt like his scalp was going crazy just thinking about it! That is definitely not just a matter of tens of billions of dollars, or even a matter of money at all, but a huge force that may directly affect the economic direction of the entire country in the next few years! Du Yan has always wanted to sit down and have a good talk with Song Jiayi, but he is self-aware. Although he seemed to be able to catch Song Jiayi's eyes before, it was only because of Song Jiayi's personal reasons. Even in the brilliant days, he stood up for Miss Ou. , what he got was only Young Master Song's friendship. If he wanted to talk to "Mr. Song" who represented the Song family as a character, Du Yan knew that he still had a lot to do. But now, Du Yan knows that he has gradually gained this qualification. From the beginning, when Song Jiayi said the word "mutual help" seemingly jokingly, he was actually hinting that because of everything he did in Daqing Township, he should Already somewhat qualified to "talk" with Song Jiayi. After entering the room and sitting down, Song Jiayi looked around Du Yan's office and said, "I have read the articles you wrote, and I have to admit that even some experts in the economic field are not as clear as you in some places." "I That's just my personal opinion, it can't be compared with experts.?I dare not accept this compliment. "Du Yan's words are not modest. He knows how much he weighs. In addition to taking out the experience of later generations that has been verified countless times, and supplementing it with the current reality of Pingling, Du Yan believes that In pure economic theory, the difference with those experts cannot be measured in miles. Even though many of those experts were ridiculed as "brick experts" by later generations, their professional level is still not comparable to that of Du Yan today. However, the more this happened, the more Du Yan worried that these experts might become spokespersons for certain interest groups in the future. For example, Feng Ziming, an economics professor at Jinghua University who had always been in contact with him, was not the same as the one in front of him. Does Mr. Song have strong family connections? "Maybe you are still lacking in theory, but this can be learned, but what you write is very practical and practical. This is incomparable to those scholars who can only do research on campus. "Song Jiayi didn't seem to change the subject, but continued, "It can be said that what you wrote is very practical. In some relatively small inland counties and cities, with a little preparation, it can be implemented as a guiding document. , this is not what I said. As for who it is, you don¡¯t need to ask. " Hearing what Song Jiayi said, Du Yan couldn't help but be startled! Although he vaguely guessed something, firstly, those things were too far away, and secondly, the most important thing for him now was to realize the overall plan of three towns and one place. Since When they arrived in Daqing Township, Du Yan thought that he had to do something. "By the way, I said I came to trouble you just now. Now I've finished my flattery and it's time to make a request. "Song Jiayi grinned at Du Yan. The way he looked made Du Yan feel like he was facing a fox. Speaking of which, Du Yan was deeply impressed by Song Jiayi's expression. It seemed that as long as he smiled like this, something would happen. It seems like something happened. "You already know that Huachang Group intends to develop in the mainland. Before officially launching the mainland plan, we are going to set up an office in Pingling. The level doesn't need to be too high. It just needs to be in the right place. That's it. " Du Yan was a little dazed. He didn't expect that a private company would have any administrative level. Then when he thought about it, he suddenly thought that in later generations, Huachang Group had tried to list overseas several times, but was blocked by a large Western country. In some fields involving basic products, the country even refused Huachang's participation on the grounds of threatening national security. The reason was that Huachang was not a purely private enterprise, but had too many red backgrounds. Through mediated negotiations, some Western countries are gradually accepting Huachang's entry into their sensitive product fields. However, it can be said that Huachang's background is extremely mysterious both at home and abroad. It seems that the subsequent rumors may not be all suspicion. At least from the fact that there is an administrative level within Huachang, it can be seen that the water here is not as deep as usual. "We don't intend to do this in a very public way, so we need your help." Song Jiayi continued, "We won't have much to do with the local departments in Pingling. The office is more of a front-line station. However, this job is also very difficult, so it requires an important person to be stationed for a long time. So after my sister-in-law came over, she I have to ask you, Du Mi, to take good care of me. " "Mr. Qiao is coming to Pingling to preside over this office? " Du Yan was slightly surprised. He thought that it was unlikely that Qiao Luowei would stay in a small place like Pingling for a long time. Even in Taihua, it was not very suitable. From previous contacts, he could feel that Qiao Luowei Regardless of his knowledge or experience, even in later generations, Wei should be the core person in the decision-making level of a large group like Huachang. Even though Huachang attaches great importance to the development of the mainland, Qiao Luowei can only play a role in the early days. ¡°Huachang attaches great importance to the development trends of mainland provinces. The preparations are a bit urgent, and my sister-in-law will be here in the next few days." After Song Jiayi finished speaking, she suddenly leaned back, with a standard dandy smile on her face. "As for me, I don't want to see you at home when I have nothing to do all day long, so I will take advantage of the opportunity. Everyone is busy sneaking out during the Chinese New Year. I have come all the way here. What¡¯s going on? How is Du Mi planning to entertain his friends? "Of course we spare no effort in hospitality," Du Yan also changed his tone. He had finished speaking the serious words. It was time to find some fun for Young Master Song. "But there is nothing interesting in Daqing Township. This place The conditions are really not good. You will probably get bored after only two days. If you want to find something fun, you have to go to Taihua. " " Still going to that brilliant store? "Song Jiayi had a playful smile on his face. He couldn't say he was disgusted with Du Yan's use of his power to cause trouble at the Brilliant Nightclub that day, but he wanted to point it out. This kind of thing should never happen again. Song Da "The brilliant boss Zeng Zhenping is the son of Zeng Jing, the director of the Municipal Airport Management Bureau.Brother, Zeng Jing hates being trusted by the mayor. There is news that she may serve as the mayor's assistant. "Du Yan's tone was calm. He was not uneasy because of Song Jiayi's vague warning. Even after Song Jiayi frowned slightly when he heard this, he still calmly looked at Young Master Song, whose hands and eyes were as big as the sky. What he said to Du Yan In fact, Song Jiayi knew better. From his relationship in Hexi Province, he even knew that Cui Jianbin, secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, might retire early this year due to his physical condition. If nothing else happens, the position of Municipal Party Committee Secretary should be filled by Mayor Ren Shuqiang succeeded him. ¡°Huachang is not only developing in Taihua, but also in Hexi Province. For example, the conditions in Linchi are also good. "Song Jiayi suddenly said something that didn't sound remotely related to the topic just now, but Du Yan, who was understanding, already understood that Song Jiayi was secretly warning himself not to take the advantages of Pingling or Taihua too seriously. Don't be afraid to take advantage of your connections. Once you feel that the benefits are out of proportion to the conflicts you may be involved in, Huachang may abandon your plan in Taihua and choose other inland cities. "Taihua, Qingfeng, Linchi." , these are the bridgehead for the development of the mainland. "Du Yan said unmoved, as if he didn't hear Song Jiayi's hint at all. "Take Qingfeng as an example. Although there is considerable transportation inconvenience due to the mountains, Qingfeng's industrial base is no less than that of Taipei. After all, China was the place chosen by the country¡¯s third-line strategy. Speaking of the steep terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has an advantage over Taihua. As for Linchi, although it is a bit far away from the intersection of various provinces, the current economic development speed is quite good. Unlike many inland cities, Linchi's light industry The development is much better than other places, even if it is not as good as that of coastal areas, Taihua is indeed lagging behind in this regard. " Listening to Du Yan casually mentioning the characteristics of two other cities adjacent to Taihua, although he only mentioned it lightly, he pointed out to the point that Qingfeng's transportation is inconvenient, and Linchi is obviously not in line with the Song family's plan to use the inland relative The original intention of the cheap heavy industry foundation gave Song Jiayi a more special impression of him. The most important thing was that Song Jiayi did not believe that Du Yan was so shrewd that he could not hear his warning, but even so Du Yan did not. Showing any uneasiness made Song Jiayi wonder whether he was really confident or brave. "Brother, you seem to have just graduated from college," Song Jiayi asked calmly. Since he had paid attention to Du Yan, Song Jiayi was naturally concerned about his situation. After understanding something, ¡°Have you ever thought about further studies? Not to mention the diploma, just learning more theoretical knowledge will be very useful for future development. You should be in contact with Feng Ziming from Jingda University. I am also familiar with him. Do you want me to help you arrange it? First get a bachelor's degree and then After two years of postgraduate study, you are only in your mid-twenties when you graduate, but your future is beyond what you can compare with your local qualifications. " Du Yan was silent for a moment. It was impossible to say that he was not tempted by Song Jiayi's suggestion. As Song Jiayi said, if he can really follow this path, it may not be impossible to get into a good place before the age of thirty. But in the end, he just smiled and shook his head: "Thank you Jiayi, I still want to do more things locally. I have to have a good foundation in everything. Being too impatient is not a good thing for me, not to mention I can do it in Daqing Township. Let me prove whether the things I imagined are really suitable for reality. Just like what you said, economists can only use data produced on campus to see whether it is consistent with actual conditions. " Song Jiayi nodded and said nothing. Although Du Yan had some talent, he couldn't tell what it was. Although Song Jiayi gave him this suggestion out of love for talents, it also contained a hint of warning. " He was reminding him. Du Yan is a small department-level cadre. He, Young Master Song, can make you move with just a few words, or even hang him up and kill him. However, Song Jiayi also had a good impression of Du Yan at the beginning. He didn't want to go to that point, so he then offered to arrange studies for Du Yan and gave a secret warning. If Du Yan accepted it happily, it might not be a good result of Song Jiayi's efforts for his friends. Although Du Yan still refused, Song Jiayi believed that with Du Yan, Yan Yan should have already figured out what to do. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s talk about where we can go to relax. "Now that the goal was achieved, Song Jiayi returned to his dandy appearance. Putting aside other reasons, he had a very good impression of Du Yan. "Don't mention the bad conditions. I'm not that squeamish. If you tell me, you may If you don¡¯t believe it, you may not be able to bear the many things I have experienced. "Seeing the loneliness flashing in Song Jiayi's eyes, Du Yan couldn't help but think of Qiao Luowei, who always gave people a feeling of being surrounded by loneliness like a solitary orchid. "Then go to Liuliji tomorrow," Du Yan Smiling, regardless of the surprised expressions of Song Jiayi and the others, he continued, "I ask you to see what our ancestors have given us descendants."A real legacy left behind. " Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua New Star" Chapter 26 Chapter 25 Zouma Zhangtai Liuli Collection Taihua, known as Taifang in ancient times, was built as Taifang County in the Sui Dynasty and Taihua Prefecture was established in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, it once flourished. In ancient times, under the rule of Taihua, the local pottery clay was so sticky that the utensils produced could "self-generate" and were famous in China. The porcelain fired from Taihua pottery was colorful and had delicate textures. It not only had the elegance of southern pottery, but also Without losing the atmosphere of northern pottery, especially the vessels made of colored glaze and clay, they look as crystal clear as jade and feel as smooth as silk, which is called Yong Porcelain. In the Song Dynasty, because there was an official named Liu Yong in Taihua who was a very popular official, in order to avoid the taboo of his name, he chanted the name of porcelain and called it Sici, which means its color is simple and elegant. Succi was once very popular in the Song Dynasty and was quite popular among the officials and wealthy businessmen at that time. For a time, it was famous in the world along with several other famous porcelains at that time. However, with the rise of Xixia, the Taihua area became a place of war between the Song and Xia. The local people were displaced to avoid the war, and Suchi also gradually declined. By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the craftsman families in the Taihua area that could still master the craftsmanship of Suchi had been eliminated. There are not many left. With the gradual prosperity of southern porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, Suchi, a wonder of the northern mainland, has gradually been submerged in the dust of history. "I picked up mutton-fat jade with my bare hands, and warmed my heart deep in the night. This is the collection of colored glaze and pure porcelain." Standing on a bare hillock with almost no trees visible at a glance, Du Yan said to Song Jiayi introduces something that has disappeared for many years. Perhaps just in time for the occasion, a gust of cold wind blew. Although she was wearing a coat, she was still very cold. Miss Ou couldn't help but hugged her arms tightly. Seeing her like this, she thought of the two lines of poems Du Yan had just read, in the middle of the night, the escort beside her Seeing the beautiful woman holding a porcelain heater in her arms, Song Jiayi couldn't help but feel a little tenderness in his heart. In this case, he didn't really blame Du Yan for deceiving him into this hellish place where a bird couldn't lay eggs and suffered. "There's also the thin spring breeze and the cold weather in March. Holding the ice and holding the green emerald green against the backdrop of innocence, this is what Su Ci is talking about." Du Yan didn't care about the two people next to him who suddenly hooked up with each other. He just walked around with interest. He introduced some beautiful scenes that neither he nor the current Liuliji people had ever seen before. "Liuliji Suci focuses on this artistic conception, so-called" "Okay, okay, just tell me your story. "The purpose," Song Jiayi finally interrupted Du Yan, who was about to quote scriptures again, and asked with a frown, "You brought us to such a place just to show off your knowledge of ancient literature, right?" Seeing Song Jiayi shielding Miss Ou from the cold wind and frowning with a reproachful look on her face, Du Yan felt a sense of contempt for Young Master Song's overly artificial pity. "The clay from Liuliji is a good thing. As for the plain porcelain from Liuliji, I don't think it's any worse than the green fruit wine from Daqing Township. It's even more valuable." Du Yan looked down the slope from a distance and looked at the endless Cheng. Pian Xiaoshao kiln couldn't help but sigh. His words were not directed at Song Jiayi, but rather at the huge wealth and huge challenges he was about to face. "Look at them, they don't know that they are sleeping in the old house all day long." In the gold mine left by their ancestors, they thought they would get rich as long as they could bake a few furnaces of good bricks every day. Little did they know that they were actually burning gold bricks instead of adobe bricks. " "Wait a minute, I said. Du Mi, why do I hear something wrong with you?" Song Jiayi looked at Du Yan with a half-smile, although Du Yan could not compare with him in terms of status, age and experience, but after several contacts, Song Jiayi But he would never regard Du Yan as a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, or a kid who still needs to be tempered. "What do you mean by repeatedly telling me about Suchi? Do you have the idea of ??developing clay building materials here?" Looking at Song Jiayi, Du Yan couldn't help but sigh to himself. If there was any gap between Song Jiayi and him, the only possibility was that he had twenty more years of experience. From just a few words, he had already roughly guessed who he was. Judging from his thoughts, Du Yan even suspected that if he said a few more words, Song Jiayi might form his own set of market ideas in his mind. The key to this is that Song Jiayi mentioned clay building materials, instead of following Du Yangang's idea and going to the unrealistic point of restoring original porcelain. "Jiayi, now that the country is getting richer, especially families in southern and coastal cities, they will become richer and richer," Du Yan did not avoid it. This is the only thing that saves trouble when talking to smart people. "How big is the market for decoration building materials?" I think you know better than I do. I also know that some cities in the south have already started in this area. I guess they have also targeted this market. However, although they have new technologies, the technology and material costs in places like Pingling are still low. "Compared with each other, which one do you think has the advantage?" Song Jiayi fell silent. He walked to the slope and stood side by side with Du Yan, looking at the small kiln with no end in sight at the bottom of the slope. After a while, he calmed down. Question: "Have you ever thought about it? What you said is just speculation. What do you have?Do you think urban families will gradually become richer? Do you know how much an average family in coastal cities earns per year now? It¡¯s only a few thousand yuan. If you want to make a big market, you don¡¯t just have to look at the rich. The real market is actually in the most ordinary families. They are the most important ingredients that support a market. Do you think you can do this? How much profit? " Du Yan shook his head. He originally didn't want to explain to Song Jiayi, because that would make people find that he seemed to have a too clear vision of the future, which was not a good thing! But he also knew that if he could not produce enough strong evidence to prove his point of view, Don't say that Song Jiayi won't be convinced by him. Even if Song Jiayi agrees, he will be suppressed because he doesn't show his grasp of the future market. In that case, he will just be a wedding dress for others, even if he is a friend. Sometimes it is necessary to show enough strength to match each other, not to mention that personal friendship with Song Jiayi is one thing, but it is another matter when it comes to business with the Song family. In a word, in Du Yan's opinion, he does not have it. The obligation to contribute to a red family with a special background like the Song family! "In recent years, the country's policies towards rural areas have been very" Du Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally used a softer word, "very firm." , although I have not been here for a long time, as a township cadre, I have a great feeling. Sometimes in order to complete various tax and fee tasks assigned by superiors, I have to work hard. Not to mention that farmers don't understand, even many cadres who implement it don't understand. However, in doing so, the country affirms the country's ideas. I think this idea is to ensure the smooth development of cities in recent years. As for such a huge gap between industry and agriculture, it would be terrible if huge consumer power cannot be quickly formed to drive the market and form an industrial cycle. " "horrible? Song Jiayi narrowed his eyes. He looked back at Miss Ou behind him. When he saw Miss Ou and Lao Chai, he immediately took a few steps back knowingly. Song Jiayi looked at Du Yan solemnly, "What do you mean by this scary thing?" " Looking at Song Jiayi's serious face, Du Yan's thoughts were racing in his mind. He knew who the person he was facing was, and he also knew what the background was behind him. It would be a big mistake to regard him as an arrogant and domineering playboy. It's wrong, but it would be a big mistake to think that he is just a so-called "officer" who relies on his family to gain benefits. This person is likely to become a person with great influence on the country in the future. And I am telling him now. These will certainly affect the future cooperative relationship with him, and may even affect some of his decisions in the future. "Jiayi, the function of money is to circulate. Money that cannot be circulated is even worse than waste paper," Du Yan said in a low voice. "Take Taihua as an example. If the bad debts in Taihua Bank were liquidated all at once, Taihua City might go bankrupt overnight, but no one is checking this now. The same is true for the country. Only by creating a market as soon as possible can the difference obtained from rural areas be turned around. This is what I think, where does this market come from? This is impossible in the countryside, and only those families in the city can do it. This principle cannot be simpler and is not new. " After saying that, Du Yan deliberately looked at Song Jiayi with a reproachful look, as if Song Jiayi was making a fuss even though he couldn't understand such a simple thing. Song Jiayi looked at Du Yan for a few seconds without saying anything. , after a while, he suddenly smiled and nodded, as if Du Yan was right, he was indeed making a fuss. Then he turned around and said loudly to Miss Ou behind him: "Xiaoqin, are you cold or not? We don't listen to Du Mi's presence. Let's get over it now and go back to find a warm place to rest for a while. " Miss Ou just smiled. She stretched out her cold-red hands and rubbed them back and forth while nodding. At the same time, she looked over Song Jiayi's shoulder and showed a slightly meaningful smile to Du Yan. Du Yan guided Lao Chai to drive the windshield When the Pajero just appeared at the entrance of Liuliji Town, it had already attracted the attention of many people. Although in recent years, Liuliji people have built many small brick factories with clay clay, but those who came to buy bricks were either The local villagers who want to build big houses in the countryside are the bosses of several small construction teams nearby. Anyone who can drive a tractor is considered a big customer. If someone drives a small truck to pull goods, it will be a sensation. He is a big shot in the town. But although the back pocket of this car cannot carry goods, the Liuliji people are still somewhat knowledgeable. As the name suggests, many of the houses in Liuliji are not simple. The gaudy exterior walls paved with various colored glazed tiles may be due to the fact that the buildings are close to the water. Although the road outside Liuliji is in bad condition, the streets are quite flat after entering the town. Looking at the streets paved with gravel bricks, Du Yan couldn't help but admire Liuliji for leaving no outsiders behind. The town secretary of Liuliji was named Mei Maodong. The name sounded really inelegant, but there was nothing he could do about it.??In the early years, I don¡¯t know what Secretary Mei¡¯s father thought. Naming his son Mei Maodong was not a big deal at first, but later it became a taboo. During the exercise, someone reported that Secretary Mei¡¯s father was using the name Mei Maodong. His own surname denigrates the leader. Thinking about it, you will know. Mei and Mei have no homophones, and the name happens to have the surname and first name of the founder of the country. Doesn¡¯t the combination mean that there is no Taizu and no leader? Isn¡¯t this an attempt to be counter-revolutionary? Isn¡¯t this an attempt to revolutionize the world? As a result, Secretary Mei¡¯s father almost got unlucky. Fortunately, Mei¡¯s father was popular in the town and he was a poor peasant. After all, it was a matter of internal conflicts among the people, but the name Secretary Mei was no longer used. I thought. I also know that the names of nobles have been taboo since ancient times. Back then, Yongci had to change his name to Suchi just because he violated the taboo of a high-ranking official. What's more, it is the name of the founding ancestor of the current country. Even if he had the courage, he would not dare to use it. . So Secretary Mei changed his name slightly, and it became the very inelegant Mei Maodong When he saw Du Yan, Secretary Mei was not very happy. He had no hair on his lips, but he liked to mess around when he had nothing to do. Mayor Du and Secretary Mei don't like to see him when he's hanging around. In fact, this dislike is mixed with some envy and jealousy. I heard that Daqing Township has been doing well in the past six months. Not only is the green fruit wine selling booming, but also the various fruit trees cultivated to match the brewing of different flavors of green fruit wine. A lot. In addition to making raw materials for the winery, they have also engaged in deep processing of fruits. It is said that the winery will be expanded after the year. All this seems to be sponsored by Mayor Du, which makes Secretary Mei jealous. There is no way. Who asked Daqing Township to appoint the secretary of the county party committee secretary as the mayor? It is estimated that Secretary Li of the county party committee will find a way to pave the way for his favorite general to earn political achievements no matter what. It's not that Du Yan doesn't know what Secretary Mei is thinking. In fact, it's not just Secretary Mei. People from several villages and towns in Pingling may also have such thoughts. However, Du Yan can't control what they think. What he needs now is to seize the time to implement it. own plan. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to discuss certain topics with Song Jiayi that should not be mentioned. Seeing Secretary Mei, Du Yan immediately walked up to shake hands enthusiastically, and then introduced Song Jiayi who was following him. However, he only said that Song Jiayi was a big boss from the capital who came to Daqing Township to purchase green fruit wine. In addition to doing hotel business, Mr. Song is also engaged in the business of ceramic fired bricks. This time, I came here to see the quality of the clay from Liuliji. If it meets the requirements, we can discuss it in depth. Du Yan's words caused a complete change in Secretary Mei's attitude. Mayor Du did not forget to support his neighbors when he was able to make a fortune for himself. Secretary Mei immediately liked the baby and was very pleased with it. Time greets guests with great enthusiasm. Although the enthusiasm is not yet ready to make friends with Mayor Xiao Du by chopping chicken heads and burning yellow paper for eight worships, it is almost there. In this era, people's interactions are relatively candid, especially in the mainland. Although Du Yan said that Song Jiayi was just here to see the quality of the clay, Secretary Mei still seriously regarded Song Jiayi as a major customer who came to discuss business, not to mention seeing that car Mitsubishi Pajero, as well as Miss Ou and Lao Chai who were following behind, the appearance was not simple at all. Secretary Mei, who was swayed by this background, was even more frightened, for fear of neglecting the distinguished guests and losing a big buyer. Song Jiayi stayed in Liuliji for a day. During this day, accompanied by Secretary Mei and Du Yan, he saw with his own eyes how the small kiln made bricks, and also got samples from the clay pit of the kiln. To say it was because he suddenly became interested in Su Ci, rather than because Du Yan's previous words completely moved him. However, when he saw the plain porcelain utensils from the early years in the wall of the abandoned Liuliji old kiln, Song Jiayi's originally calm heart was finally shaken! "These are all left behind by our ancestors in order to re-burn porcelain in the early years." Secretary Mei watched Song Jiayi walking slowly along the wall holes and sighed while explaining, "The craftsmanship left by our ancestors has not been passed down. , How many generations have been thinking about remaking the original porcelain, but they have tried generation after generation and failed. The descendants are useless and sorry for their ancestors. "" Are these all unsuccessful works?" Song Jiayi looked back at Secretary Mei in surprise. , then he slowly turned his head to look at Du Yan, "Is this what you are talking about?" "Classical style, blended with modern craftsmanship, Jiayi, how confident do you think you can be in the market if you create such a brand?" Du Yan smiled lightly. When asked, he was not worried that Song Jiayi would steal his idea. In fact, he knew that with Song Jiayi's vision, he wouldn't care too much about it. What Du Yan needs is the Song family's attention to Taihua, Pingling, or the three towns and one place. "If someone can specifically quote textual research on Suci, confirm its place in history, and create a lot of momentum, and then use ancient Chinese porcelain culture as the topic, it will set off a Suci craze in the entire domestic archaeological and appreciation circles, maybe it will be effective It will be better." Song Jiayi answered casually, opening the door wide and looking higher. ?"This is your business. I can't help you with anything." Du Yan shook his head helplessly. He had to admit that even if he could see some things and even think of how to operate them, after all, he was limited by his status and situation. It can only be a matter of weakness. "I didn't expect that you brought us to this place this time. It's really not in vain." Song Jiayi looked at Du Yan and laughed. He turned back to Secretary Mei and said: "Secretary Mei, let me discuss something with you. Can you Sell ??me a few pieces of porcelain from this kiln. You can tell me the price." Secretary Mei looked at Song Jiayi with some surprise. Although some antique dealers had thought about these porcelain before, the prices they offered were very low. Some ancestral old kiln workers in Liuliji were very angry, thinking that it was simply burying their ancestors, and naturally they were unwilling to sell. As time went by, no antique dealer came back to seek embarrassment, but now Mr. Song asked him to give a price, which really embarrassed Secretary Mei, so he looked at Du Yan as if asking for help. At this time, in front of Secretary Mei Here, Mayor Xiao Du is his think tank. "Speaking of this price," Du Yan's eyes immediately lit up when he heard the money talk, "This contains the hard work and expectations of generations of old kiln workers in Liuliji, as well as this historical inheritance" "Okay, okay, Just make an offer," Song Jiayi sighed helplessly. He thought Du Yan was good in every aspect, but he couldn't raise money. "This round number can be regarded as your first sponsorship to help Liuliji restore traditional culture." Du Yan reached out and made a gesture. "Fifty thousand?!" Secretary Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she shouted in a low voice and quickly shut up. "You really dare to ask for it." Looking at the five fingers held out by Du Yan, Song Jiayi smiled slightly. Of course, he would not think like Secretary Mei that Du Yan would only ask for a small amount like fifty thousand, but then he nodded and said with He said calmly with an arrogant and domineering tone: "Okay, that's it. Don't say these porcelains are worth this price. Even if they are piles of loess, I, Song Jiayi, can turn them into Tang Sancai!" As he said this, he motioned to Miss Ou next to him. Finally, he turned back to Secretary Mei, who was watching all this nervously, and said, "Secretary Mei, let's make an agreement, I'll buy it for five hundred thousand." Hearing Song Jiayi's words, Secretary Mei almost lost his temper. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua New Star" Chapter 27 Chapter 26 Changes in the situation Half a million! When Secretary Mei watched Song Jiayi sign the number that almost made him faint, his whole body was trembling slightly with excitement. He didn¡¯t expect that Mr. Song, who came from the capital, would actually spend half a million yuan to buy these porcelains. You must know that the antique dealers in front of him would spend a few thousand yuan at most, which was considered a great deal. Secretary Mei has never thought about what half a million means to Liuliji, because in his memory, Liuliji has never had such a large amount of money. The only thing that made Secretary Mei a little depressed was the clauses attached to the purchase and sale contract when Mr. Song brought it over. When he first saw these terms, Secretary Mei, who was so grateful to Du Yan at first, almost fell out with Du Yan. According to the additional clauses of this transaction contract worth 500,000 yuan, Song Jiayi attached a very strict or somewhat harsh condition, that is, the money must be used as guaranteed funds for Liuliji to develop and produce plain ceramic building materials. In order to To ensure that the subsequent direction of funds is completely in line with the interests of investors, the entire investment needs to be paid and supervised batch by batch through an intermediary, and this intermediary is Du Yan, the mayor of Daqing Township. Secretary Mei thought for a while that Du Yan was the one causing trouble and swallowed Liuliji's money. Come to think of it, who else would be able to spit out this money when it reaches their own pocket? Therefore, the way Secretary Mei looked at Du Yan immediately changed again. That look of bitterness and hatred reminded people of the way working people looked at landlords and old wealth during the land reform. But what happened next changed Secretary Mei's attitude. Just when Secretary Mei thought that even if the money was not a basket of water, it was still wishful thinking to get it, and he was angry and wanted to sue. When he went to the county, Du Yan took the initiative to find Secretary Mei in Liuliji. Looking at Du Yan shaking the installment check and hearing the rattling sound, and listening to the wonderful plans he talked about, Lao Mei gradually calmed down, although she still didn't believe what Du Yan said about Liuli Ji's clay. It was really that valuable, but as soon as he saw the check, Lao Mei felt a little short of breath. In the end, after Du Yan repeatedly assured that as long as the money was used to fully develop Liuliji's building materials project in accordance with the contract, every cent would definitely fall on Liuliji's books, Lao Mei finally "lost his power and humiliated the country" and He Du Yan signed a letter of intent for a three-town-one joint economic zone. Looking at the letter of intent, Du Yan felt a little light in his heart. He knew that his plan had taken another step forward. Song Jiayi has left Pingling, which is somewhat beyond Du Yan's expectation. At first, he said that he would stay and continue to understand the situation in Pingling in depth, but he soon changed his mind. Fortunately, whether it was Miss Ou or Lao Chai seemed to be used to Young Master Song's ever-changing decisions, so after hearing Song Jiayi's decision, they just made preparations immediately. Before leaving, Song Jiayi left the Mitsubishi Pajero in Pingling. Only then did Du Yan know that the Song family had sent someone to call the front office in Pingling in advance. It was said that the location of the office they found was good, not far from Liyu Residence. It's not too far away. It seems that although Song Jiayi said he was here to relax and have fun, just as Du Yan guessed, the Song family has decided to take advantage of the time lag before the country's inland policy is launched to show off its talents in the mainland. Be prepared in advance, then Song Jiayi's sudden arrival in Hexi Province will be worth pondering. In fact, what Song Jiayi brought this time was far beyond Du Yan's imagination. Just a few days after Song Jiayi left, Qiao Luowei quietly arrived on a snowy day. Qiao Luowei arrived in Daqing Township at noon. When she got out of the Pajero that Du Yan was already familiar with, she looked at a man standing in the middle of the snow, wearing a light gray long coat, with jet-black hair that blended with the white snow. Du Yan's heart skipped a beat as Qiao Luowei's long hair fluttered in the wind. He didn't know how he could feel a feeling of joy when he saw Qiao Luowei again. This was very inconsistent with the business-related relationship between him and Qiao Luowei, but he did feel that he was feeling happy when he saw Qiao Luowei. That moment of joy that comes from the bottom of my heart. The sky is filled with white snow and her black hair is fluttering. Qiao Luowei still gives people the kind of indifference and alienation that seems to repel people thousands of miles away, as if the flying snowflakes are a white gauze specially woven for her, just to connect her with others. Isolated. "Isn't Mayor Du cold?" Qiao Luowei spoke first. She asked Du Yan who was standing on the steps looking at her. Then she walked up the steps, passed Du Yan, and entered directly. office. Behind her, Zhao Xiaoyun, who was carrying a box, glared at Du Yan, who also had a wry smile on his face, muttered something unknown, and then walked in. Qiao Luowei walked into the office and took off his coat and put it aside, revealing a plain white tight-fitting woolen sweater and a pair of black trousers. Perhaps for convenience, the woolen sweater was tucked into the trousers.?Her slender waist and the rather spectacular roundness of her chest made her even more eye-catching. Du Yan couldn't help but take a look, and suddenly he felt his eyes darken, but Zhao Xiaoyun was already standing in front of him. The expression on his face made Du Yan suspect that if he took one more look, she might pull out a pistol and shoot him. Got him! "Has Jiayi come?" Qiao Luowei asked in a non-inquiry manner, and then nodded alone, "He did a good job. Some things actually don't need my help." Looking at Qiao Luowei's expression, Du Yan felt in his heart Suddenly an idea occurred to him. Song Jiayi left in such a hurry, as if he was deliberately avoiding Qiao Luowei. What also made Du Yan notice was that although they all said that Qiao Luowei was Song Jiayi's sister-in-law, no one had ever mentioned Qiao Luowei's husband. Du Yan was thinking about these things. He didn't know why. Although he repeatedly told himself that these had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't get too close to such a family with a huge background and complicated relationships, he couldn't explain it. There might be some kind of special relationship between Qiao Luowei and Song Jiayi, and he couldn't help but feel an unspeakable awkwardness in his heart. But then, Du Yan no longer had time to think about these random things. Just as Du Yan guessed, the arrival of Song Jiayi and Qiao Luowei heralded that the Song family had officially begun its development in Hexi Province. "Early before the National Day, a provincial official suddenly parachuted down from the central government. It was obviously the Song family's advance preparations for development inland. With Qiao Luowei coming to Pingling, even though he kept a low profile, the day after Qiao Luowei left Daqing Township and arrived in Pingling, Li Peizheng called Du Yan's office. "Xiao Du, you guys have been making a lot of moves recently," Li Peizheng didn't like to be muddled when speaking, and he was straight to the point when talking to Du Yan, "I heard that Mr. Song gave Lao Mei from Liuliji an offer of five hundred thousand." What's going on, I asked you to be the mediator for the installment check?" Hearing Li Peizheng's question, Du Yan wanted to laugh. Thinking about it, Li Peizheng could endure it for so long before making this call, and he could still suppress it. Du Yan was really grateful that others would not harass him. If it had been anyone else, the county might have found a way to get rid of the money. "Secretary Li, I have a situation to report to you," Du Yan said slowly. He knew that what he said next might make Li Peizheng really unable to accept it for a while. "This money is given by Mr. Song's company to the three towns and one economic zone." The first investment, but the investment amount is not 500,000. " "Why are you trying to ambush me, or are you afraid that I will steal it or help Lao Mei collect the debt?" Li Peizheng asked, and then said with a smile, "But the county. Some comrades have already noticed this. An investment of five hundred thousand is not a small amount, and you don¡¯t even bother to consult with the county. It¡¯s easy for people to gossip. " Listening to Li Peizheng¡¯s instructions on the phone, Du Yan was helpless. Li Peizheng is very suitable. He is an official in charge of the whole year, but he is not very good at economic construction. Perhaps in the eyes of a traditional official like him, the funds brought in from the towns below are no different from the money belonging to the county, but he does not know at all The ownership of these funds has nothing to do with them legally. "Secretary Li, let me review with you. I just said that the investment amount is not 500,000. Now I will report to you that the total initial investment of Huachang Group in Daqing, Shuangdui and Liuliji, if fully in place, should be It's 1.5 million." There was silence on the other side of the phone. After a while, Li Peizheng asked in a low voice, "Xiao Du, tell me what happened. Don't miss any details." Hearing Li Peizheng's sudden change in tone, Du said. Yan's heart moved. Everyone in the town knew about his recent interactions with Song Jiayi. Although many people didn't know about Song Jiayi's relationship with Mr. Qiao, anyone who was interested could still find out. something. In addition, even Pingling knew that Song Jiayi spent 500,000 yuan to buy colored glaze porcelain. So whether these people knew the true use of the money or not, all kinds of rumors should have been everywhere. All. Du Yan is also very clear about this. He naturally knows that even if such a large investment by the Song family is only carried out gradually at first, it will still be discovered once it is implemented. What he has to do is actually very simple, but before others have noticed this, let the Song family spread the funds in the three towns as soon as possible. In this way, even if the county's resolution on the economic zone is not passed, a The joint development model of the three towns has also been initially launched. By that time, whether it is due to the actual development needs of the three towns or the strength and background of the Song family, it can be said that this has become a fait accompli and no one can stop it! But looking at it now, it seems that someone is secretly causing trouble! "Secretary Li, do you need me to report to you?"??Du Yan's tone also became serious. He knew that as a cadre, there are two things that are most taboo, one is a money bag, and the other is a belt. ¡° Failure to tighten the purse strings and control the belt may become a trap for cadres to make mistakes on their way forward, and now it seems that someone is eyeing their own pockets. "Xiao Du, first tell me how much money you have signed in total for the project, and then tell me how the funds are used." Li Peizheng's tone became even deeper, "Someone has already said that the five hundred thousand I heard before Such a large amount of project funds must be guaranteed by you personally. This is no longer in line with our financial system. However, this should still be clear. But now you say that the total funds have reached 1.5 million, this It's another matter." At this point, Li Peizheng pondered for a while, "Well, you can come over tomorrow and I'll call the mayor of Shangguo and Lao Gong of the Finance Bureau, and you can tell us the specific funding projects and contract forms. Report it. If necessary, it is best to ask Huachang to issue a certificate that complies with the financial system. " "I understand, Secretary Li," Du Yan replied in a low voice on the phone. When he put down the phone, his mind was racing. Turning around, who is attacking him behind his back? Guo Songlin? Liao Kun? Shi Changgeng? Or Liu Jiahui? Du Yan's mind replayed all the enemies he could think of. But no matter who his opponent is, Du Yan is still self-aware of himself. He knows that attacking him is just a means, and the real purpose should be Li Peizheng, or An idea flashed in Du Yan's mind, but he didn't have time to think about it again. , the phone on the table rang again. "Xiaoyan, I'm Ding Bingxian." Ding Bingxian's calm and calm voice came from the microphone. "Uncle Ding, what can I do for you?" Du Yan vaguely guessed the purpose of Ding Bingxian's call. Sure enough, Ding Bingxian said calmly: "There have been a lot of rumors recently about some projects in your towns, and it seems that you are involved in some of them. Xiaoyan, you have to pay attention to yourself, pay attention to the rules, and pay attention to the stumbling blocks." " I understand Uncle Ding, Secretary Li has already talked to me, I will go to the county to make a detailed report tomorrow," Du Yan said and waited quietly. He knew that Ding Bingxian was different from Li Peizheng. Since the evil phone call came, It's not just a reminder. As he had guessed, Ding Bingxian's calm voice came from the phone: "Recently, there are some rumors coming out from Taihua about the relationship between certain leaders. Although you don't need to care about this aspect, there are many things that no one can care about. It's hard to tell. Sometimes many things may not be related, but they may become complicated if you try to figure it out. "It's the same with you," Du Yan said secretly as he put down Ding Bingxian's phone number. He knew that Ding Bingxian should have guessed something, but there were some things that he couldn't say to himself in his position. And sometimes if you can¡¯t understand many things, telling yourself may make things worse. "In the city? Qu Xiangdong?!" The name immediately flashed through Du Yan's mind. He knew that if he was brought down, the one who would be directly affected would undoubtedly be Li Peizheng. And once Li Peizheng was frustrated, who else would be implicated? Qu Xiangdong! It must be Qu Xiangdong! Especially at this critical moment when Qu Xiangdong may move further into the province, if Qu Xiangdong can be successfully attacked, not only Taihua, but even the entire Hexi Province will undergo huge changes! Du Yan¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he thought of this. Isn¡¯t this a precursor to the earthquake in Hexi Province¡¯s political arena that he had heard about in his previous life? ! It was during that earthquake that huge changes occurred in the personnel and affairs of Hexi Province, which completely affected the fate of many people in the future. However, it is said that this earthquake started to brew from a very early time. The time, twists and turns, and even Even many of the parties involved years later felt confused. But no matter how complicated it was, Du Yan never expected that the Hexi officialdom earthquake, of which he had always thought he was just a bystander, would be caused by Daqing Township, Pingling, a remote and remote village! What I didn¡¯t expect was that in this life, I would actually become the trigger for all of this to break out! After thinking about this, Du Yan could no longer sit still. He knew that since he had been targeted, he had to race against time to notify Li Peizheng and Ding Bingxian before they truly realized the seriousness of the matter! Thinking of this, Du Yan grabbed the phone, but before he remembered to dial, the door was suddenly opened, and with the cold wind, three stern-looking people strode into the office. "Are you Du Yan, the mayor of Daqing Township?" A short man with a gloomy expression asked coldly. "Yes, who are you?" Although he had vaguely guessed it, Du Yan still asked calmly.   "We are from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, please come with us." As he said that, the man took a step back, and two men who were in plain clothes but looked like police officers came over: "Please cooperate. "Come with us." "What's going on?" Old Zhai, who came over after hearing the news, looked at what was happening in the room in shock. "Comrade, are you mistaken? Mayor Du, what happened to Mayor Du?" "I'm sorry, this is our job. Please don't hinder us." The man with a gloomy expression glared at Lao Zhai coldly and walked out the door. The two police officers stood on both sides, staring closely at Du Yan. When they walked out of the room, they were greeted by a gust of cold wind and dark clouds in the distance, which seemed to indicate that a bigger snowstorm was coming. Before being taken into the car, Du Yan looked back at the people standing in the yard. He saw Shi Changgeng with a downcast expression, Peng Jun who was gloating about his misfortune, and Liu Jiahui who seemed to have expected it. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 28 Chapter 27 The world is in turmoil The news of Du Yan's accident had spread throughout Pingling County not long after he was taken away. People couldn't help but feel extremely surprised and unbelievable that this rising political star in the past six months suddenly got into trouble! Gu Weifen heard the news when she was still in class. At that time, several colleagues who had a good relationship with her were whispering. They stopped immediately when they saw Gu Weifen approaching, but the look in her eyes made her immediately guess. I realized that the things they were discussing were related to me. Gu Weifen pretended not to care, but she was actually very concerned about what her colleagues were saying. Ever since Du Yan became the secretary of the county party committee secretary, Gu Weifen has become a celebrity in the work unit. Not to mention her usual colleagues, even the factory leaders are all jealous of Sister Gu and Sister Gu when they meet her. This makes Gu Weifen really powerful. Although Du Yan later left the county party committee compound and went to Daqing Township to become the mayor, which made Gu Weifen very unhappy for a while, but she learned from some news she heard later and the discussions of her colleagues that Du Yan was going to become the mayor. Not only did he not fall out of favor with Secretary Li of the county party committee, but it was Secretary Li who paved the way for his right-hand general to have an official career in return for Du Yan's life-saving grace. This makes Gu Weifen even more magical at ordinary times. Sometimes she even fantasizes that if Du Yan is lucky and her daughter is really lucky, maybe one day she can become the mother-in-law of the county party secretary. Therefore, Gu Weifen would inevitably appear arrogant at ordinary times, and she also knew that those colleagues were obviously complimenting her, but in fact they were jealous in their hearts. But the more this happens, the happier she will be. If you have the ability, you can have a beautiful daughter and become the girlfriend of the county party committee secretary. "What are you talking about?" Gu Weifen asked casually while clearing her desk. Today was Saturday. She wanted to go back early to buy some vegetables. Maybe Du Yan would come home for dinner tomorrow. "Sister Gu, your Qianqian's boyfriend's surname is Du, right? He used to work as a secretary for Secretary Li of the county?" A colleague who usually doesn't have a good relationship with Gu Weifen deliberately raised his voice so that everyone around him could hear it. ask. "Yes, my surname is Du. Sister Tian, ??don't you know? I used to be secretary to Secretary Li of the county party committee, but now I am the mayor of the town. I am only twenty-three this year." Gu Weifen said proudly. "That's right, it's that Du Yan. Huh, I heard that when I was a secretary in the county, I was very crazy. Later, when I became the mayor, I became even more crazy. This time, it's better. I got my retribution. Right." The one named Sister Tian curled her lips and said in a long voice. "What did you say? What kind of retribution?" Gu Weifen's face dropped when she heard the other party's unkind words. "Sister Tian, ??let me tell you, our sisters are good colleagues, but don't go too far. You know what you said before." What's your name? Even if you say this right now, you are slandering the leader?" Sister Tian looked at Gu Weifen with disdain. "You don't want to ask how your good son-in-law is doing. You are already in the Public Security Bureau and you are still in charge. When the sentence is passed, your family Qianqian will be a living widow!" Sister Tian's words made Gu Weifen stunned. Although this Sister Tian usually had a bad relationship with her, but since she knew Du After saying that he was her daughter's boyfriend, she became a lot more honest, but because of this, seeing Sister Tian mocking herself so unscrupulously, Gu Weifen immediately thought that something might really have happened to Du Yan! Unable to care about anything anymore, Gu Weifen hurriedly ran to the canteen outside the unit to call her daughter. When she heard Su Qian confirming the news through the phone while sobbing, Gu Weifen couldn't help but become confused immediately. "Qianqian, how did you know? Who told you, is it true?" Gu Weifen asked a series of questions anxiously. When she heard her daughter say that it was Zhang Tao who told her at noon, she immediately called Daqing Township. After the phone call confirmed all this, Gu Weifen was stunned for a while, and suddenly lowered his voice and anxiously ordered to his daughter on the phone, "Qianqian, if someone comes to you to find out the situation, you must say that your surname is Du." It has nothing to do with it! You haven¡¯t eaten or taken it from him. It was him who took the initiative to talk about being friends. If it doesn¡¯t work, just say that he keeps pestering you!¡± ¡°Mom, what are you talking about?¡± Su said from the phone! Qian cried with grief and anger, "I don't believe Du Yan is a corrupt criminal! He often says that the thing he hates most is corrupt officials. I believe he is a good person!" "A good person can be arrested by the public security bureau? Why are you a prodigal child disobedient?! "Gu Weifen scolded angrily, and then her voice became harsh and said, "I don't care what happened with him in the past. From now on, you are not allowed to miss him anymore. I will go to his house and tell his parents that the Du family and us The Su family is not involved at all. " "Mom!" Su Qian's shout was cut off by the phone that Gu Weifen dropped. Since she wanted her daughter to break up with Du Yan, she had to kill her quickly. Gu Weifen left the canteen and quickly got on her bicycle. Then drove towards Du Yan's house. In the office, Li Peizheng sat behind the desk with a solemn expression.? In the chair opposite the desk, Guo Songling also smoked silently with a low expression. "I didn't expect, Secretary Li, that something like this would happen to Xiao Du," Guo Songlin put the remaining cigarette butt in the ashtray on the table and said in a regretful tone, "I'm sorry for Xiao Du." I am still very optimistic, and I think I know this young man well. At least I think he is much more stable than Xiao Lu, and he can understand the leadership's intentions very well. Speaking of which, I was very envious of you for having such a capable person under your command. "I really didn't expect it" Listening to Guo Songlin's words, which contained a gun and a stick, and even meant what he meant, Li Peizheng's face remained extremely calm, as if Du Yan's sudden being taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection did not have any impact on him. Impact. "I don't believe Xiao Du will have any problems," Li Peizheng nodded slightly. Seeing Guo Songlin's statement, Li Peizheng seemed a little surprised. Li Peizheng smiled calmly, "I am very optimistic about Xiao Du, a young man, not just because of him. He is smart and able to do things, mostly because he knows what he should do and what he shouldn't do, which is very rare among young people nowadays. " Hearing that Li Peizheng still had such a high level of calm towards Du Yan at this time, it was even more exciting. Showing such firm trust, Guo Songlin felt a little confused for a moment. He didn't know if something happened to his secretary Xiao Lu, whether he could still publicly express his support on the cusp of such a storm, and he didn't know if Xiao Lu would still work together with him if something happened to him one day. Difficulties. "But Secretary Li, comrades from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will not act without evidence. I can also understand your feelings for Xiao Du, but after all, he has been with you for too short a time, and you don't know him well," Guo Songlin Although his expression was not good, what he said was quite pertinent. It was different from the suggestive tone before. But what he said next made Tu Xiangdong, who had been listening on the sofa next to him, raise his eyebrows slightly: "We Let's wait for the news from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Speaking of which, I'm also surprised. Even if something happened to Xiao Du, it should be investigated by the relevant departments in Pingling. If the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection does this, is there something we don't understand about it? "Secretary Li, look at this afternoon's Standing Committee meeting" Guo Songlin's tone was still so unhurried, but it seemed that the matter that had already caused a stir in the county party committee compound was a little different from him. There's nothing wrong with the relationship. "Slow down, let me check with the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection." Li Peizheng answered without any concealment. His obvious support for Du Yan made Tu Xiangdong, who was recording next to him, secretly sigh. No wonder Du Yan is so loyal to Li Peizheng. , sparing no effort to advise him, and always charging ahead without avoiding danger. This Li Peizheng does have extraordinary courage. Guo Songlin did not insist, but smiled and said hello before leaving Li Peizheng's office. From beginning to end, Guo Songlin did not look at Tu Xiangdong who was sitting beside him. Tu Xiangdong stood up. He pondered for a moment and walked to Li Peizheng's desk. He said, "Secretary Li, regarding the matter of asking the Discipline Inspection Commission for information, I think it might be more appropriate for other leading comrades to ask. Do you think it's Ding's request?" Secretary, do you want to do this job?" Looking at Tu Xiangdong, Li Peizheng pointed to the chair opposite Guo Songlin with some politeness. In fact, Li Peizheng was not very enthusiastic about Tu Xiangdong's surrender. Although he held a standing committee vote and was in charge of the entire Tu Xiangdong from the county party committee compound was indeed a powerful helper, but perhaps due to their personalities, the relationship between Li Peizheng and Tu Xiangdong could never get any closer and they were completely in sync. But now it seems that Du Yan's incident gave Tu Xiangdong an opportunity to advise Li Peizheng and at least fulfill his duties as an aide. "Xiangdong, is there any difference whether I made this call or Bingxian?" Li Peizheng asked and exhaled, "Since Xiangzhuang is dancing with the sword, there is no need to worry too much about his intentions." Tu Xiangdong nodded slightly, he is a staff member , Just do your duty. As for whether Li Peizheng adopts it, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore, and he also knows that Li Peizheng's words are true. If it is really just dealing with Du Yan, will the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection directly take the person? Tu Xiangdong quietly walked out of Li Peizheng's office. When he saw several staff members watching him coming out of Li Peizheng's office, they immediately turned around and seemed to be busy with something. Seeing this scene, a trace of sarcasm flashed across Tu Xiangdong's face. He has seen too many things in the officialdom where people hug their thighs and climb on the hot bed, and he has also experienced a lot of things where people push them down. Tu Xiangdong knew very well what the people below were thinking, but because of this, he was a little strange. Could it be that Guo Songlin really took advantage of Du Yan in order to compete with Li Peizheng? According to the notice sent to Pingling by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Du Yan was investigated by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection for embezzling and possessing a large amount of illegal funds. At this time, the Shuanggui system had not been officially implemented, and speaking of itYan Yan was not qualified enough, but even so, Du Yan was taken away and isolated by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. This shows the seriousness of the matter. Tu Xiangdong doesn't care whether Du Yan has been corrupted or not. He is more concerned about whether Du Yan can get rid of this matter. When he met Ding Bingxian in the corridor, Tu Xiangdong looked at him with a somewhat thoughtful look, but what he got was Ding Bingxian's always indifferent and elegant smile in response: "Director Tu, did you just come from Secretary Li?" "Yes, Secretary Ding, what are you doing" "Go and chat with Secretary Li. If you are not busy playing chess, you are just lazy at work." Ding Bingxian stood in the corridor without hesitation and said it directly, His behavior made Tu Xiangdong feel dumbfounded for a while. Ding Bingxian did not need the secretary to inform Li Peizheng when he came here. He said hello to Xiao Chen and then opened the door and walked in. Just as I entered the door, I happened to hear Li Peizheng speaking to the phone in a slightly passionate tone: "Many things are obvious. We are here to do work, not just to fight. If you have any ideas, come to me and get dirty materials. Damn it, what are you doing with my secretary?¡± The other party¡¯s voice came faintly on the phone, and Li Peizheng stopped and listened. After a while, Li Peizheng seemed to have calmed down and continued: ¡°Secretary Qu, I know you The secretary is a very principled person. I also know that it is not appropriate to ask Du Yan directly now, but I am not a county party committee secretary, but just want to pay attention to this matter in my personal capacity. " "Then you are even less interested. You should ask about this matter, Comrade Li Peizheng, please pay attention to your current situation and position!" The voice on the phone was louder, and even Ding Bingxian, who was sitting across the table, could hear clearly "Old Li," although his voice was still not low. On the next phone call, Qu Xiangshan's tone softened a little, "You know this is a very sensitive time. Can you guarantee that Du Yan has no financial problems? Can you guarantee that he didn't do anything wrong behind your back and in your name? Are you doing this? How many years have you been working in the party, and you still don¡¯t know the organizational principles and disciplines? You shouldn¡¯t make this call!¡± Li Peizheng listened silently, except for saying ¡°I abide by organizational disciplines¡± until he put down the phone. He didn't say anything more. "Old Li, is this the call from Secretary Qu?" Ding Bingxian asked calmly. He does not smoke but loves tea. No matter where he goes, he always carries with him the red clay teacup given by his teacher Mr. Fan Hu and takes a sip. After drinking the slightly bitter tea, Ding Bingxian waited for Li Peizheng's answer. "I'm really not suitable to make this call," Li Peizheng said with Ding Bingxian, "but I believe Xiao Du is not that kind of person, and this is obviously aimed at me. How can I not take it seriously?" "Targeted Who can tell clearly who is not targeting whom?" Ding Bingxian closed the lid of the cup and looked at Li Peizheng, "Pei Zheng, you trust Du Yan because you believe in his character, but I am different. I trust him. Because I have a feeling that although this amount of money is not a small amount, for Du Yan, it is not worth ruining his future for such a sum of money. He will not engage in such a loss-making business. " "That's what you think of him. "Li Peizheng showed a rare smile, but then his expression turned serious. "But now it seems that someone is indeed trying to make trouble through this matter. Although Secretary Qu didn't say anything directly to me just now, I heard from his words. "Secretary You of the Political and Legal Committee?" Ding Bingxian was stunned. He knew that just last month, the former Secretary of the Taihua Municipal and Legal Committee You Qinglin was transferred to the position of Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Taihua City. The director of public security becomes the permanent secretary of the political and legal committee. In Ding Bingxian¡¯s impression, the relationship between Qu Xiangdong and You Qinglin should be good, but now it seems that things are not as simple as imagined. "Now is a sensitive period," Ding Bingxian tapped the clay lid of the teacup with his slender fingers. "Secretary Qu wouldn't want anything to go wrong at this time." After hearing this, Li Peizheng twitched the corner of his mouth. He understood the meaning of Ding Bingxian's words. He also knew that this was the critical moment when Qu Xiangshan was preparing to march into the province. Naturally, he did not want the relationship between him and You Qinglin to be affected by a small mayor under Li Peizheng. Li Peizheng picked up the cigarette case on the table and lit a cigarette. After taking a deep breath, he spit it out forcefully. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 29 Chapter 28 Dignity The Nanjiao Hotel in Taihua City was once the guest house of a large military industrial enterprise in Taihua in the early days. It was opened to the outside world in the late 1980s and became a self-financing unit. However, due to its background as a military industrial enterprise, although the Nanjiao Hotel is located in a relatively remote location, The business is pretty good, and since it's close to the famous Qinghu Reservoir in Taihua, it's a good place for some people to relax and rest. The Taihua City Commission for Discipline Inspection has a set of private rooms all year round in the Nanjiao Hotel. Although the current Commission for Discipline Inspection is not as famous and powerful as later generations, with the rise of social disturbances in the late 1980s, both the upper class and the public have increasingly called for and demanded anti-corruption. The higher it is, the more obvious the status of the Discipline Inspection Commission will be. Especially in the second half of last year, with the re-establishment of the National Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the state's power tendency towards powerful departments has become more and more obvious. At the same time, the investigation of various violations of discipline has become more stringent. All this makes the status of the Discipline Inspection Commission more and more important. The private room of the Taihua Commission for Discipline Inspection in the Nanjiao Hotel is on the seventh floor of the east wing. It faces Qinghu Lake and the bright sunshine shines in. It makes people feel relaxed and happy at a glance. This scene was beyond Du Yan's expectation. In Du Yan's mind, this kind of place should be dark and narrow, and just staying in it would be enough to make people breathless, and the staff responsible for the investigation should also have gloomy expressions, making people fearful. Seeing this scene, Du Yan even thought for a while that he had been taken to the wrong place. But in the next two days, Du Yan knew why the Discipline Inspection Commission set up the isolation investigation in such a place. If two people keep asking you the same question several times a day, and after you answer it again and again, they suddenly go back to ask you a question that you have answered long ago, and this situation is still If you repeat this from the time you wake up in the morning until you go to bed at night, then you will definitely not have any pleasant thoughts when looking at the scenery outside. The brighter the sun is and the blue waves are rippling outside, the more the quarantined people will feel the oppression in this not-so-small private room. It is a different feeling that will give you a huge contrast. This feeling is enough to make you just think about it. Becoming more restless and restless thinking about leaving early. And this method is indeed somewhat effective. Repeated questioning in the past two days has made Du Yan really dizzy. If he hadn't already heard of this method of mentally tiring opponents in his previous life, and it was also very important to him in his heart. It is clear that the real critical confrontation has not yet come. If it were an inexperienced person, he might have already suffered a mental breakdown under the influence of such a huge discrepancy and let the people of the Discipline Inspection Commission take whatever they wanted. The person who took notes for Du Yan, in addition to the gloomy-looking middle-aged man who led the team to Daqing Township before, was also a tall and thin cadre of the Discipline Inspection Commission who always had a smile on his face. These two people Just like the red and white faces that often appeared in the Chinese and foreign police and gangster films that Du Yan later watched, it formed a sharp contrast. The middle-aged man with a gloomy face always has the surname Kuang, and the tall and thin man has the surname Chong. However, Du Yan is too lazy to remember these. Since he was brought here, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, he has been answering the questions raised by the two people. Various questions. And these two people are obviously experts in this kind of thing. They are always looking for something they think is useful from Du Yan's simple answers. Once they find something, they immediately grab it tightly, pursue him fiercely, and never let go. "Comrade Du Yan, you said that you acted as the personal mediator of a contract and served as the supervisor of Liuliji's investment. In other words, your identity as mediator was proposed by the investor and requested by Liuliji. Is that what the party committee agreed to admit?" The tall and thin man drew a circle on a record in the notebook. "I have noticed that the identity of the guarantor you mentioned is you personally. I think you should know, no matter what What is the nature of the investor? Liuliji is an administrative township in Pingling County. As the mayor of a town of the same level, you are the supervisor of this huge amount of funds in a private capacity. Do you think this is in line with our financial system? "I have already explained that this is an additional requirement put forward by the investor himself, and I think you should have investigated it. The comrades of Liuliji are willing to accept this contract," Du Yan breathed out. Looking at the small notebook that the tall and thin man kept pressing on the table, he didn't know what was written in it. It was probably not a good thing. But what really concerned Du Yan was when these people started to mention those things about him. Questions that really want to be heard. The tall and lanky man noticed a smile on Du Yan's face after he looked at the notebook in his hand. His many years of experience allowed him to not only figure out his opponent's thoughts quickly, but also be able to grasp and control his opponent's mentality. Whenever he asked a question Just the act of drawing a circle on a notebook once made many people sitting across from me tremble with fear. ¡°Actually, I think you may already know that this is just an upfront investment.It seems that the money you are asking for now is far from what you will get later. "Seeing the tall and thin man's smile, Du Yan suddenly opened his mouth and stimulated the two people in front of him lukewarmly. The tall and thin man obviously didn't expect that Du Yan would suddenly say such a sentence that should be even more harmful to him. The corner of his eye He quickly glanced at the gloomy face sitting next to him as if he were listening, and showed an interested smile: "Isn't that good, Comrade Du Yan, it is also good for you personally to take the initiative to talk about some things clearly, we know You are still young. You have only turned twenty-four during the Chinese New Year. You are considered young and promising. I heard that you have a girlfriend? Comrade Du Yan, as long as you explain the situation clearly, the organization will consider your problem as appropriate. If you are being exploited because you are young and inexperienced, or even because of misunderstanding, I believe the organization will definitely make the decision for you. " Hearing this, Du Yan slowly sat up straight, with a faint smile on his lips. After glancing at the faces of the two people opposite him, he slowly asked: "You said you were being taken advantage of. What does it mean? " "This is what you want to tell us. Pay attention to your attitude," the gloomy face finally spoke. He picked up the water glass next to him and took a sip. After making a loud gurgling sound, he slammed the water glass onto the table and said, "I'll tell you. Where did you misappropriate the money, why did you connect Liuliji with the boss of Huachang Company, and whether you accepted benefits from either party, you have to explain these clearly. In addition," he said with a gloomy face, he took out a document from his bag and flipped it in front of Du Yan, "Is this signed report written by you? In it, you proposed to implement the three towns and one area economic zone, but in this Not only was the economic zone not approved by the Pingling County Committee, but even before the discussion was carried out, you initiated a joint investment intention with two other towns in the name of Daqing Township without authorization. I want to know what your motivation is. How can you be sure that the Pingling County Committee will approve your proposal, or that someone has given you a guarantee that it will be passed, or what means did you use to get the other party to support your plan? Does this have anything to do with the funds invested in these three towns? "Sure enough, this is what happened, Du Yan thought in his heart. When he realized that because of a series of actions after waking up from the dream, he who was originally on the outside may have become the one who caused the officialdom earthquake that shook the political situation in Hexi. Du Yan had been waiting since the fuse. He knew that these people's repeated inquiries in the past two days were just to wear down their energy. After two days of suffering, these people probably thought that they could finally bear it. , it¡¯s time to get to the point! ¡°I¡¯m sorry, can you tell me your question again? "Du Yan slowed down his voice and asked with some doubts. "Okay, I'll just say it directly," the tall and thin man stood up and pulled a chair to sit next to Du Yan, speaking in a serious and considerate way like a big brother. He said in a tone of voice, "Xiao Du, you are still young. Maybe there are some things that were not done by you. It doesn't matter that you are loyal and save face, but you take everything on yourself. But you know, there are some things you can do, and some things you can¡¯t. Some of them may seem like a good thing, but in fact they may just be using you as a gun. Let¡¯s just talk about this three-town-one-region economic zone. You said you proposed it. This is certainly a political achievement, but how could it be so coincidental that someone invested a large amount of money in it as soon as you proposed it? And you are still asked to be the guarantor? Is this normal? Is it reasonable? I heard that some people call you the mayor of the wine seller and say that you have a good way with the economy, so it may not be a big deal to make such a suggestion, but can you really come up with such a big plan at such a young age? Of course I'm not doubting your ability, but Xiao Du, you also need to think clearly about the depth of the matter here. Don't just let others sell you out just for such a reputation. You will only be the one who suffers the loss. ¡± Du Yan looked at the tall and thin man silently, and looked at his earnest words and his kind expression, but Du Yan was quickly thinking about what was going on here. Now, Du Yan already felt that things might not be what he thought. Or maybe , I used to think that someone was just using his own affairs to attack Li Peizheng, and then planned to attack Qu Xiangshan, maybe it was really wrong! At least, the scope of what I thought seemed too small, maybe, there was definitely something involved. It¡¯s not just Qu Xiangshan! ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you insist on it,¡± he said coldly with a sullen face, ¡°but once your situation is transferred directly to the judicial department, you won¡¯t have a chance to talk to us! " "Then you want to know? " Du Yan had a sarcastic smile on his face. If he didn't resent these two people who used all kinds of coercion and inducement against him just because of work reasons, now when he looked at them, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Disgusted. Thinking that Du Yan understood what he meant, the tall and thin man turned around and looked at each other with a sullen face, showing a proud smile. He opened the book and looked at it, and then asked Du Yan: "Tell me about the person who arrived. You guys are from Daqing Township???The general situation is that the woman named Qiao Luowei, please tell me about her relationship with you, how she came to your Daqing Township, and what is her relationship with a person named Song Jiayi? , how did you meet Song Jiayi? Was it through Pingling County Party Committee Secretary Li Peizheng, or someone else? " Listening to this series of questions that seemed vague at first, and then finally got to the point of the key questions, the smile on Du Yan's face slowly faded. He looked at the tall and thin man coldly, and gradually Disdainfully, the tall and thin man's original happy mood gradually dropped. "Are you censoring or eliciting a confession?" Do you want to write the confession for me and I will put my fingerprints on it? Du Yan sneered and said sarcastically, "Are you the ones who are cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission?" Do you just rely on frame-up to handle cases? " "Du Yan! You are so arrogant! "He stood up with a gloomy face. The muscles on his expressionless face trembled slightly, and there was a vague ruthlessness in his eyes. "Don't get carried away thinking that you have a backer. To tell you the truth, don't talk about what you are like now. Backers, even the ones above, can't protect you. You'd better tell the truth honestly, otherwise you won't be able to walk out of this hotel today! " "Your tone is really interesting. Are you a cadre of the National Commission for Discipline Inspection or a bandit? "Du Yan leaned back on his chair. "If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink it as a penalty! stand up! "The tall and lanky man who had always been friendly and cheerful suddenly changed his expression. The smile on his face had disappeared, and there was only an indescribable cruelty on his face. "Today I will let you see what a cadre of the Discipline Inspection Commission is! "As he said that, the tall and lanky man raised his hand and grabbed Du Yan's shoulders to pull him up! Although it seemed easy, Du Yan had actually been paying attention to the actions of the tall and lanky man next to him, although he thought these people were not He would be so bold that he would take any special measures against himself, but the various shady stories he had heard in later generations made him dare not take it lightly. So the tall and thin man's expression just changed. Du Yan was already prepared, but as long as the other party didn't move him. He would never give someone a handle. When the tall and thin man grabbed his shoulder and just lifted it hard, Du Yan suddenly stood up violently. Because he used too much force, he couldn't help but shake off the thin man who hit him in the face! The tall man's face suddenly turned dark! He took a step forward and raised his hand to grab Du Yan's collar. His face was full of ferociousness as he tore off the disguise: "Tell you, you can write whatever I tell you to do. If you obey, you won't suffer any loss. Otherwise I will put you in jail for the rest of your life, do you believe it or not? " "Is this how you handle cases? Do you still have party discipline and state laws? "Du Yan stared at the tall and thin man with cold eyes. "Stop talking nonsense. If you want to do this, you still have to talk about party discipline and state law? The tall and thin man grabbed Du Yan's collar and said, "Listen up, kid. This matter will get serious later. As long as I accuse you, you won't be able to get out of here." " Speaking of this, the tall and thin man suddenly showed a strange smile and said to Du Yan: "I heard that your boy has a pretty girlfriend? Did you offend someone because of her? You don¡¯t even want to ask who you offended. To be honest with you, you have no chance to make a comeback this time. If you really want to be imprisoned for only two years, you will be lucky, but by the time you come out, your girlfriend will probably be someone else¡¯s. A woman. " Hearing the tall and thin man's words, Du Yan's cold expression suddenly changed. He could calmly face the insults to himself by these people, but he absolutely could not bear the insults to Su Qian! A burst of anger broke out at this moment. Already! Du Yan, who had been calm after being grabbed by the collar, suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed the lanky man's wrist. At the same time, his entire upper body suddenly twisted to the right, and his shoulders were already pressing hard on the lanky man. The outside of the arm is completely stretched! ¡°Ah! "A scream burst out from the tall and thin man's mouth! The gloomy face only came to his senses after the tall and thin man screamed. He jumped up and rushed forward, but what came to him was Du Yan who suddenly shot him A kick in the chest! With a "bang" sound, the gloomy face who was hit in the chest suddenly stepped back. His expression changed drastically, and he immediately turned around and ran to the door to open the door. After hearing the news, the two plainclothes men rushed in. When the police officer saw this scene, he couldn't help but touch his lower back. However, when he saw that Du Yan had let go of the tall and thin man and stretched out his arms to both sides to make harmless movements, the two police officers approached him cautiously, and then grabbed him with force at the same time. Du Yan pushed his arms back and glanced at the sullen face. After the two people quickly signaled to each other, the slender man turned back to Du Yan and said sullenly: "Du Yan, during the isolation and review period, you. Not only did you have a bad attitude in refusing to explain the problem, but you also tried to deliberately and violently attack the Discipline Inspection Commission personnel. Now we have decided to take coercive measures against you. " "You're so pitiful," Du Yan, whose arm was grabbed, glanced coldly at the two people in front of him, "I'll lend you a word, first find out who you offended, don't be used as a gun, and what happened to you in the end? He didn¡¯t even know he was dead! ¡±   "What did you say?!" The tall and thin man picked up a magazine from the hotel next door and put it on Du Yan's stomach for two policemen to hold. Then he kicked Du Yan hard in the stomach through the magazine. ! A burst of severe pain instantly made Du Yan bend down in pain. He knew he couldn't avoid the beating, but he didn't regret it! Sometimes people have to be calm and aware of current affairs, but sometimes, it is not about being calm or not. The only choice is whether you dare to protect yourself as a person and the dignity of your loved ones around you! There is no question of whether it is worth it or not, there is only human dignity! Another kick! Du Yan felt as if his stomach was on fire. The policemen on both sides shook his shoulders hard, making it impossible for him to move. With just a little force, his arms hurt as if they were about to be broken! "Aren't you crazy? Aren't you tough-talking?" The tall and thin man grabbed a pen and paper and slapped it on the table in front of Du Yan, "Write for me! Just write whatever I tell you to do. If you make a mistake, I'll beat you." , Write down how Li Peizheng instructed you to build this economic zone, and how you partnered with that woman named Qiao to embezzle funds. If you can¡¯t write it down, don¡¯t even think about passing the test today!¡± Hearing the tall and thin man¡¯s words, Du Yan slowly raised his head. , although the pain made his face ugly, his eyes were still full of sarcasm. He knew that the ultimate goal of these people was certainly not Li Peizheng, and maybe not even Qu Xiangshan. In his memory, the political earthquake that shook Hexi Province ended with Yang Weiquan, the current deputy governor of Hexi Province, failing to successfully ascend to the throne of governor. The question is, what does Yang Weiquan¡¯s defeat mean? People at this time didn't know much about it, but Du Yan, who had the experience of later generations, knew it all too well. Yang Weiquan is a descendant of the famous red aristocratic Yang family. Yang Weiquan's failure this time seems to be just a setback in his official career, but in fact it is a disastrous defeat in the battle for the right to inherit the throne that is well known to future generations! Yang Weiquan is precisely the backstage of Qu Xiangshan! Another burst of severe pain came. Du Yan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the tall and thin man's ferocious face. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes. Although he had never looked down upon such villains, now he secretly swore in his heart that as long as he went out, he would never let go of these people in front of him! "Write or not?" The tall, thin man held his fist in a handkerchief and waved it again at Du Yan's belly through the magazine! Just when Du Yan was gritting his teeth and preparing to bear the pain again, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps getting closer and closer in the corridor outside the door, which seemed to be dull and neat like thunder! Several people in the room couldn't help but stop. In an instant, the door was kicked open from the outside as several people watched! A group of heavily armed soldiers suddenly broke into the room! While several people in the room were stunned, Zhao Youxun's tall and strong figure had appeared at the door! Next to him is Zhao Xiaoyun, who is also wearing a military uniform! "What's going on? Which army are you from?" asked the gloomy face while walking forward, but before he took the second step, a cold gun barrel was already pressed against his forehead! "Take one more step forward and I'll beat you to death!" Zhao Xiaoyun stared at the sullen face that turned blue. Her look left no one suspicious at all. If the sullen face didn't obey, she would really pull the trigger immediately! When soldiers rushed into the room, they disarmed the two policemen who were still in a daze and forced them aside. Looking at Du Yan, who was still stubborn despite his pale face, he remembered what he saw when he first rushed in. Even though he was holding his arms tightly and still holding his head high, Zhao Youxun silently patted Du Yan's shoulder. "Let's go, Mr. Qiao is waiting for you," then Zhao Youxun said, "And your parents and your sister are also waiting for you." Hearing this, Du Yan's tight lips slowly relaxed, and he endured the pain in his arms. After feeling the pain, he slowly put on his coat and walked out of the room. From beginning to end, he never looked at the stunned disciplinary inspection committee members who were detained in the corner. When Du Yan walked out of the Nanjiao Hotel, he raised his head to face the dazzling winter sunshine. The sunshine at this moment seemed so kind and warm. After getting into the Pajero, Du Yan turned his head and looked at Zhao Youxun who had not gotten in the car with questioning eyes. "Let Xiaoyun accompany you to see Mr. Qiao, I still have some things to do." Zhao Youxun showed a rare smile. Du Yan naturally knew that Zhao Youxun used the troops to snatch him away from the Discipline Inspection Commission. This matter could be big or small, but it would never be that simple. Even if Qiao Luowei is involved, Zhao Youxun will naturally have to deal with some thorny issues next. "Brother Zhao, let's have a drink when we have time." Du Yan didn't say much. He knew that for people like Zhao Youxun, being too polite would seem hypocritical. "If you have time, I'll ask you?. " Zhao Youxun nodded and took a step back. Watching Pajero gradually go away, Zhao Youxun let out a soft sigh that no one else could detect. "Where are we going? " Sitting in the car, Du Yan asked Zhao Xiaoyun, who was silent all the way next to him. At this time, he felt grateful in his heart for this girl with whom he had not always had a good relationship. "Go to Tongyang, Mr. Qiao is waiting for you there. . " Zhao Xiaoyun answered concisely. After speaking, she stepped on the accelerator hard. Amidst the low roar of the engine, the Pajero accelerated with all its strength and drove towards Tongyang, the capital of Hexi Province. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua New Star" Chapter 30 Chapter 29 Trip to Tongyang Tongyang was first called Tongshui, later called Tong'an, and then still called Tongyang. As a thousand-year-old city, Tongyang is also known as the city of mountains and rivers. It is not only the capital of Hexi Province, but also one of the cultural and economic centers among large inland cities. Unlike many other inland large cities, although Tongyang is an inland-focused city The capital of a heavy industry province, Ketongyang itself is not famous for its heavy industry, but is well-known at home and abroad as a tourist city. According to the legend passed down many years ago, Tongyang, known as the green city surrounded by mountains and rivers, was the place where many dragon spirits of the ancient dynasties were located. This gave Tongyang a layer of shadow in those long-lasting times. The sacred veil. During the dynasty, many literati regarded entering Tongyang as the key to one day leaping over the Dragon Gate. The huge stone square erected in front of the Imperial College Street in Tongyang seemed to be the way that could enable them to incarnate. It is the same as the threshold of being a dragon. At the beginning, countless scholars and scholars were like crucian carp crossing the river, swarming in from all directions. Even now, Guozijian Street in the old town of Tongyang is still a place that countless young people are fascinated by. As one of the famous institutions of higher learning in the country, Tongyang University, located in the Guozijian Street area, has created a large number of social elites. Over the years, countless After a brutal struggle, students are lucky enough to enter Tongyang University like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, but after all, they are only a few. Du Yan is quite familiar with Tongyang. In his previous life, Du Yan once faced the lowest moment in his life because he was ostracized while working in a cultural center and was eventually even kicked out of the third industry. At one time, Du Yan frequently traveled between Tongyang and Pingling Mausoleums due to his business relationship with the cultural center. That was also the most difficult time in Du Yan's life. At that time, Du Yan was subjected to cynicism not only at work but also at home from his uninterested relatives and friends. His anger at the beginning turned into contempt for those people. The ups and downs of life made Du Yan deeply understand that in the end, people can only rely on themselves! At that time, Du Yan began to pay close attention to the market in Tongyang, looking for opportunities. Finally, by chance, he got involved in the health care products market, which was just in the ascendant at that time. After some reflection, Du Yan took a leave of absence without pay and left the third industry of the Cultural Center. , began his own struggle. Since then, with the care of her family and the firm support of Su Qian, she has come out of the trough step by step. Looking at the vaguely familiar city outside the car, those long-lasting and sad memories that had not happened in this life kept appearing in Du Yan's mind. While walking through some familiar streets in the city, he saw through the car window a commercial building in the downtown area that he had visited before. He still remembered that in the summer, he and Ding Hongwei, who happened to be in Tongyang for business, sat outside the commercial building. On the guardrail on the side of the road, I looked at the beauties in bright and refreshing clothes, shouting loudly on purpose, in exchange for looks of either anger or joy from those girls. Du Yan, who was hit hard at that time, began to feel cynical and self-defeating. Thinking about it now, everything seemed like a dream. At this time, looking at the passing street scene outside the window, Du Yan felt that the long decades before had really been just an too realistic dream. Zhao Xiaoyun controlled the Pajero and drove it familiarly on the street. Even Du Yan had to admit that although this girl looked a little reckless, it was just an appearance. If you think about it carefully, Zhao Xiaoyun did appear to be a qualified bodyguard in many cases. For anyone who is close to Qiao Luowei, she not only pays attention to whether these people's behavior will bring danger to Qiao Luowei, but sometimes also pays attention to whether their thoughts and ideas have other motives. From this point of view, Zhao Xiaoyun is not only a good bodyguard, but also a pretty good assistant. With this thought, Du Yan's eyes became gentler when he looked at Zhao Xiaoyun, but the next moment his gentle thoughts were destroyed by Zhao Xiaoyun's fierce glare. "Your parents are also in Tongyang now. I will take you to meet them later." After saying this, a strange smile appeared on Zhao Xiaoyun's face. "Your girlfriend's mother is quite interesting." Hearing what Zhao Xiaoyun said, Du Yan's face couldn't help but blush slightly. He could imagine how Gu Weifen would behave when he heard this kind of thing. ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but when I thought that Gu Weifen¡¯s ugly behavior might just happen to be seen by Qiao Luowei, Du Yan felt that compared with being isolated and examined, this humiliation would be greater. The car drove up a long slope paved with bluestones. As the car drove on the slightly winding road, Du Yan saw that Tongyang City seemed to be slowly appearing below him. "Is this Qifeng Mountain?" Du Yan asked. To the south of Tongyang City is Qifeng Mountain. I remember that in my previous life, with the rapid development of the real estate industry, even inland cities like Tongyang were greatly affected. Not only in the city center, but also in some new districts not too far away, land is at a premium.   But the land in Qifeng Mountain south of Tongyang City cannot be bought even if you have money. Because the people who live in those villas on Qifeng Mountain have something that immediately becomes insignificant in front of those wealthy real estate tycoons - power! The light white corner of the building loomed behind a forest. The forest looked a little bleak in winter. Du Yan noticed that starting from the edge of the forest, a wall spread through the forest towards the mountains in the distance of Qifeng Mountain. As it passed through After passing an iron gate, the area behind the wall suddenly became quiet, as if it was divided into two completely different worlds from the outside. Du Yan let out a breath. He knew that for many people, this wall might be an obstacle that they could not overcome in their lifetime. He was able to pass through this wall, but it was just a coincidence. The world on the other side of the wall still had nothing to do with him. Pajero stopped in the open space in front of a four-story building. Zhao Xiaoyun did not get out of the car immediately, but turned to Du Yan and said: "I want to remind you of some things to pay attention to before going in" "Don't look at things you shouldn't, no. Don't listen to what you should listen to, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't say what you shouldn't say," Du Yan said calmly. He looked at Zhao Xiaoyun who was a little annoyed because he was interrupted and smiled, "I understand this aspect. "The rules." Zhao Xiaoyun raised her eyebrows, but she still held back. She opened the door and jumped out of the car quickly, then stood there and looked at Du Yan who was slowly getting out of the car. "Follow me," Zhao Xiaoyun said, then turned around and walked towards the building. He followed behind and looked at her tall figure wrapped in military uniform, and her waist that twisted slightly with each step, but Du Yan couldn't help but admit it. , there is no choice in the figure of a sporty girl. Zhao Xiaoyun, who was walking in front, seemed to feel the sight from behind. She looked back at Du Yan but found nothing, so she had to turn around and continue walking forward. After passing through the thick glass door, the two people walked into the lobby on the first floor. Stepping on the thick carpet, the hall seemed unusually quiet without any sound. Du Yan noticed that except for two service staff in a semi-open room like a front desk on the side of the hall, no one was seen along the way. The elevator they took stopped on the third floor. When they stepped out of the elevator and walked into the aisle, Du Yan saw a young and beautiful waitress wearing a blue uniform skirt waiting there. "Director Zhao." Seeing the two people walking out of the elevator, the waitress gave a slight gesture to Zhao Xiaoyun, then looked at Du Yan with big bright eyes, and nodded slightly to him. The look on her face was peaceful and respectful, and she looked up. The long raised eyelashes covered the slightly lowered eyelids, looking so elegant and quiet, as if he would forget everything or anyone he saw. "Director Zhao, Mr. Qiao has guests now. Look, " Zhao Xiaoyun nodded to the waitress, and then said to Du Yan: "You take a rest first, and I'll go see when Mr. Qiao can see you first." Listening to Zhao Xiaoyun's words, Du Yan suddenly realized that he and Du Yan were deeply connected. The huge distance that existed between Qiao Luowei and Qiao Luowei also made him realize that Qiao Luowei was really low-key when he was in Daqing Township. If he didn't know her origin, he might just regard her as someone. A rich female boss, but after arriving here, he truly realized Qiao Luowei's identity and background, and the huge gap in identity between him and her. The waitress politely led Du Yan into a room. Looking at his slightly tired look, she turned around and walked to the closet, opened the door, and took out a blanket from inside. "Sir, why don't you take a rest on the sofa first? I will come in and call you when needed." The waitress suggested softly. Du Yan was indeed a little tired. Two consecutive days of fatigue bombardment were enough to make him physically and mentally exhausted. In addition, after being beaten by those discipline inspection officials before, he followed Zhao Xiaoyun and drove hundreds of miles to feel Tongyang before he had time to rest. Once he relaxed from his excitement, he felt an unstoppable fatigue that made his body seem to be crumbling. He didn't know how long it would be before Qiao Luowei would see him, so he accepted the waitress's suggestion after a moment's hesitation, took the blanket and watched the waitress gently close the door. Du Yan, who was extremely tired, finally couldn't resist. The temptation of the unusually comfortable looking sofa made me lean there, cover myself with a blanket and close my eyes. I don't know how long it took after I fell asleep. Du Yan, who was awakened by an unbearable hunger, opened his eyes in confusion and saw that he was in an unfamiliar room. He was stunned for a moment and then remembered that he should be in the room at this time. In Qifeng Mountain in Tongyang, the provincial capital. Du Yan stood up from the sofa. As soon as he moved his body, he felt dizzy and immediately sat down again. The discomfort in his stomach made him think that he hadn't eaten well in the past two days. He came all the way from Taihua to Tong. Yang, although there are many places to eat on the road.But because I was in a hurry, I missed everything. The low growl in his stomach made Du Yan even more uncomfortable. Just when he was feeling helpless, the door opened slightly and the beautiful waitress walked in holding a tray. Seeing Du Yan sitting on the sofa, the waitress seemed slightly startled, but then she closed the door with her elbow and walked over with the tray, placing it on the table in front of the sofa. A burst of aroma hit his face. Looking at the several finely crafted snacks on the plate, Du Yan, who didn't like sweets at first, suddenly felt that these snacks were indescribably lovable. "Sir, please have something to eat. You may have to wait for a while." The waiter folded her hands in front of her belly habitually and said with a smile. She could see that the young man was obviously very hungry. After coming in, she hardly paid attention to herself. Instead, she was attracted by the snacks on the plate. You can tell that she is still very confident about her appearance. "I haven't" "Gu~" Du Yan, who originally wanted to be more reserved, was completely ruined by a gurgling sound from his stomach. He raised his head and looked at the inappropriate sound. The waitress who looked at him unexpectedly smiled bitterly and picked up a small piece of halva puff pastry: "It seems I can't be polite anymore." As he said that, he took a bite and was immediately attracted by the delicious taste of the puff pastry. Conquered. The waitress looked at this young man with some surprise. Because of her work, she had met many different people, whether they were powerful and prominent Hexi dignitaries, or wealthy businessmen with rich backgrounds. , there are also some young and promising young talents among them, but this is the first time she has seen someone like Du Yan. She couldn't tell that Du Yan belonged to any kind of person she had ever seen. On the contrary, this young man seemed to really not know where this place was, but he could really eat and sleep. Although he was not fat, he looked at it. It looks very wide. Seeing that there were only some crumbs left on the small plate of dim sum, the waitress once again showed a look of surprise on her beautiful face. She had never seen anyone eat so much food so quickly. How long does it take? There was no time to eat. Could it be that he came from an African refugee camp? The waitress seemed to want to laugh but held it back. She knew that the people who could enter here were not ordinary people. This young man who looked funny and harmless might be the daughter of a high official. Looking at him now, he looked so harmless. Maybe he would show another face when he turned around. She had seen too many such things, and it was in this environment that she learned how to protect herself. "Sir, do you need anything else?" the waitress asked respectfully, taking two steps back while picking up the tray. "Can you please give me a glass of water?" Du Yan asked a little embarrassedly. He ate too much just now and his appetite was a little bloated for a while. The waitress walked towards the table with tea sets against the wall. While she was making water seriously, Du Yan saw Qiao Luowei appearing in the corridor through the gap in the ajar door! Du Yan could not help but walk to the door of the room. Through the ajar door, he saw Qiao Luowei talking to a middle-aged man who was leaning sideways. Looking from the direction of Du Yan, the man looked about less than forty years old, with gold-rimmed glasses and neatly combed hair. He was wearing a dark gray suit, looking capable and steady. "Mr. Qiao, if you stay in Hexi, we will see each other more often in the future. Let's have a meal together when we have time," the middle-aged man said to Qiao Luowei with a smile. He was very rested. When he saw Qiao Luowei After reaching out his hand, Qiao Luowei gently grasped it with his slender white fingers, and then let go. "I hope our cooperation can lay a good foundation for the future development of Hexi and greater cooperation." "I believe it is a good start. , often indicates a good future." Qiao Luowei chuckled implicitly. "Then let's look forward to this bright future together." The middle-aged man also laughed. As he spoke, he turned around and took the coat handed over by a staff member next to him. When he turned around, Du Yan saw his appearance. Stunned, the hand on the door couldn't help but exert a little force, and the door opened immediately. Several people in the corridor couldn't help but look in Du Yan's direction at the same time. Seeing Du Yan standing at the door of the room looking over, Zhao Xiaoyun's expression changed as she stood behind Qiao Luowei. She glared at Du Yan fiercely, then looked over Du Yan's shoulder at the open door standing behind him. Inside the door, a pale and bewildered young waitress appeared. The expression on her face made Du Yan believe for a moment that she must have thought that she and this waitress were doing something good in the room. Qiao Luowei looked at Du Yan and the two people standing in the open door, her face always had that indifferent expression, she was just stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and gave Du Yan a slight smile.Please let him come to your side. The middle-aged man seemed a little surprised by Qiao Luowei's action. He looked up and down at Du Yan, who was walking over. At the same time, the amiable expression he had just now gradually faded away. As his expression became serious, a dignified look that had long been on top came naturally. revealed. "Mayor Du, let me introduce you. This is" "Hello, Governor Yang." Du Yan bowed slightly before Qiao Luowei finished speaking, then stretched out his hands, and after seeing this Du Yan immediately recognized the man's appearance and recognized that he was none other than Yang Weiquan, the deputy governor who is said to be the youngest provincial cadre in the country so far and the one with the highest claim to succeed the governor of Hexi Province! At the same time, he is also a leading figure among the younger generation of the famous domestic political giant Yang family! Because of this, Du Yan knew that he must not wait for Qiao Luowei to speak and reveal Yang Weiquan's identity before formally meeting him. If a cadre of Hexi Province could not recognize the third-ranked deputy governor of the provincial government, then indeed It doesn't make sense. "This is" A smile appeared on Yang Weiquan's face. He stretched out his hand to shake Du Yan's hand while looking back at Qiao Luowei. His action seemed natural, but it invisibly reduced the distance between the two people. Pulling away, it makes people look like they have nothing to do with him. This made Du Yan couldn't help but secretly describe Yang Weiquan as "deeply scheming" in his heart. "Governor Yang, let me introduce to you. This is Du Yan, the mayor of Daqing Township, Pingling County, Taihua City," Qiao Luowei's clear and calm voice sounded in the corridor. She seemed to have never thought about being a The deputy governor introduced what was wrong with a town mayor. "Mayor Du is very knowledgeable and visionary in economic construction." "Oh, it seems that Mr. Qiao has found a talent," Yang Weiquan said calmly. , he looked at Du Yan for a moment, then gently raised his hand and patted Du Yan on the arm, "It seems that we still have talent in Hexi Province. Young people should work hard." As he said that, he gave Du Yan an encouragement. smiled, then turned back and continued to say a few words to Qiao Luowei, then left and walked to the elevator with his secretary. Du Yan and Zhao Xiaoyun followed Qiao Luowei until Yang Weiquan was sent to the elevator. It was not until the elevator door slowly closed that Qiao Luowei turned around and looked at Du Yan behind him expressionlessly. "Mr. Qiao," Zhao Xiaoyun said in a low voice. She turned around and looked at the pale waitress who was always standing at the door of the room. "I haven't done my job well. I will transfer Xiao Zhu away right now." "Mr. Qiao, It's not Xiao Zhu's fault," Du Yan said. He ignored Zhao Xiaoyun, who was staring at him fiercely, and continued to say to Qiao Luowei, "I came here after hearing the sound. It has nothing to do with Xiao Zhu." "Reply. "The room says," Qiao Luowei said lightly, and then walked forward to the room facing the entire corridor. When she passed the waitress, Qiao Luowei paused and looked at her. "What's your name?" "Is that Xiao Zhu?" "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, I, I" Xiao Zhu's originally flushed cheeks turned completely white. She looked at Zhao Xiaoyun at a loss. When she was sure that Zhao Xiaoyun obviously couldn't speak for herself, He looked at Du Yan as if asking for help. "Come here together," Qiao Luowei said in a calm tone, as if he didn't care about Du Yan's sudden appearance in front of Yang Weiquan. "You prepare something to eat for us. Mayor Du should be very hungry already." "Mr. Qiao, I've already eaten," Du Yan smiled sheepishly. Seeing Qiao Luowei's lips curling up slightly when he heard him say that he had eaten, he suddenly realized that Qiao Luowei probably hadn't eaten yet. "Then let Xiao Zhu prepare Mr. Qiao's, I don't have to." At this point, he added, "There is also Director Zhao's. Director Zhao shouldn't have eaten yet, right?" Hearing Du When she spoke, Zhao Xiaoyun's healthy and flushed cheeks were now as red as apples. She opened her mouth slightly and seemed about to explode, but with Qiao Luowei nearby, there was nothing she could do. That look made Du Yan look at her. I was really worried that she might faint before she could catch a breath. "Plop!" Qiao Luowei, who had always been indifferent and peaceful, seemed to laugh out loud because of Zhao Xiaoyun's appearance. Then she realized that she was embarrassed and raised her hand to cover it up. But even like this, Du Yan couldn't help but feel slightly distracted because of the brief but invisible beauty. Qiao Luowei's expression darkened slightly. She turned around and walked into the room. Du Yan behind could only follow Zhao Xiaoyun who looked angry and walked in. While Zhao Xiaoyun was not paying attention, Du Yan turned around and showed a comforting smile to the embarrassed Xiao Zhu. However, his expression happened to fall in the eyes of Zhao Xiaoyun who turned back to greet him. For a moment, Zhao Xiaoyun looked even more disdainful towards him. ¡°You dirty bitch, you¡¯re really not a good person to mess around with women.¡± Zhao Xiaoyun muttered softly, but still turned around and ordered Xiao Zhu to go and get it right.??What. After Qiao Luowei entered the house, she went straight to the back room. After a while, she came out. However, by this time, she had already changed out of her formal-looking suit and put on a slightly more formal suit. Loose casual jacket. It was getting very late at this time, and the slightly creamy yellow light from the roof of the room shone on Qiao Luowei's slightly curly long hair, as if it was covered with a light golden color. "Let's all sit down," Qiao Luowei said and sat down first. She looked at Du Yan, who had gradually recovered, but traces of fatigue could still be seen on her face. Although her expression was cold, she still said: " I have really wronged you these days." After hearing Qiao Luowei's words, Du Yan, who had just sat down, leaned his head on the back of the sofa behind him and looked up at the yellow gauze lampshade above his head. After a while, She said calmly: "It's nothing, this is what I should do originally." Qiao Luowei seemed to be stunned. She raised her head and looked at Du Yan sitting opposite, with a complicated look in her eyes. There was a gentle knock on the door, Zhao Xiaoyun walked over and opened the door, Xiao Zhu pushed a trolley in and walked in. Seeing Zhao Xiaoyun's signal, she gently pushed the trolley to the corner, and then stood aside with a reserved expression. "Eat something first. Mr. Qiao is probably exhausted these past two days." Du Yan was not polite, as if he was the owner of this place. Since he figured out some things, his attitude has slowly changed. After the change, the trace of gratitude towards the Song family for rescuing him gradually faded away unconsciously. Seeing Du Yan's attitude, Zhao Xiaoyun was a little angry. She glared at Du Yan, but seeing Qiao Luowei's expression, she hesitated a little but walked over without asking Xiao Zhu to help, and removed a piece of sand from the trolley. The pot was placed in front of Qiao Luowei. Opening the clay pot, a strong aroma hit his face. Looking at the wontons rolling in the delicate and shining soup, Qiao Luowei's stomach also made a "gurgling" sound. Qiao Luowei's face without makeup was slightly red with a hint of meaning, but she still looked dignified. She picked up the small porcelain spoon next to her, scooped up a wonton and placed it on the small plate in front of her. She lowered her head and bit it gently. One mouthful. Looking at Qiao Luowei's red lips sucking the wonton soup, Du Yan turned his head to the side, and then he saw Zhao Xiaoyun staring at him as if he was guarding against thieves. When he recognized Yang Weiquan who walked out of the room with Qiao Luowei, Du Yan had already figured out a lot of things that had happened in the past few days! In the past few days, he has been wondering how the Taihua Discipline Inspection Commission could be so reckless in grabbing Huachang Group. Even if these people don't know Qiao Luowei's background, they should be very clear about Huachang Group. As for Song Jiayi , his previous actions in Taihua were not only high-profile, but could be said to have completely ruined the glory of a dandy, and people should have been familiar with him for a long time. How could the people of the Taihua Discipline Inspection Commission be so bold? The point? There are some upright cadres, but Du Yan absolutely does not believe that the few people in the Nanjiao Hotel are such cadres, so they dare to directly expose the background of Huachang and even Song Jiayi so boldly, which always makes Du Yan strange. Now it seems that although there are indeed people who want to lead trouble to Li Peizheng and even Qu Xiangshan by checking himself and Qiao Luowei, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that the Song family seems to be involved in this intentionally or unintentionally. Adding fuel to the flames. Taking advantage of the idea of ??some people in Taihua to take the opportunity to block Qu Xiangshan's step forward, the Song family had plenty of opportunities to let what happened in Pingling attract the attention of some people in Taihua. This changed from Qiao Luowei to Pingling instead of Song Jiayi. The office should be able to tell that even if the Song family wants to keep a low profile, it will not be so low-key that even an ordinary municipal discipline inspection commission can bully the young lady of the Song family. The Song family is preparing to enter Hexi. Perhaps they are using this incident to make progress and retreat together with Yang Weiquan, the future leader of the Hexi government? Of course, Du Yan didn't know what the Song family thought about this matter, but after figuring out some of the connections, his previous favorable impression of the Song family, and even Song Jiayi and Qiao Luowei, faded a lot. . After all, I am not the same person as them. Although Song Jiayi has a certain friendship with me, when it comes to the struggle game, that friendship may not even be considered at all! As for Qiao Luowei, although he had shown some signs of looking at him differently before, that was only because he was still useful. Perhaps in their eyes, he was always worth being used. . Thinking of this, Du Yan looked at Qiao Luowei with a smile on his face, but that smile looked a little sarcastic. Maybe these people from the red family with huge backgrounds, many people nowadays In my eyes, I still see a group of people who are out of reach and surrounded by red veils, butIn the mind of Du Yan, who has experienced twenty more years, he clearly knows that these people are just the nobles and privileged people of this era. After only eating a few wontons, Qiao Luowei motioned to Xiao Zhu to take the clay pot away. Then she looked at Du Yan calmly. Seeing the strange smile on his face, Qiao Luowei's eyes first turned slightly. He glanced to the side, then looked back at Du Yan. "Mayor Du, after experiencing such an incident, I think it is not a bad thing for you. Regarding the direction of the funds invested in the three towns, I have submitted it to the Taihua Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection through the entrusted accounting firm for review," Qiao Luowei said His expression returned to the indifferent tone before, and his tone became calm and slightly distant. "As for the review of you by the Taihua Discipline Inspection Commission, I believe that a fair conclusion will be given to you soon. You should believe that the organization will not let Ken If a cadre who works innocently is treated unfairly, you can take a break for the next few days." At this point, Qiao Luowei showed a slightly helpless smile. "I know this matter has caused some trouble not only to you, but also to your family, but I think it will be solved soon." Qiao Luowei said softly, "Your parents are also in Tongyang now. It was arranged by Yun Jielai, how about you accompany them to relax in Tongyang these days? " Du Yan didn't speak, just nodded silently, but his eyes still fell on Qiao Luowei's face. Wait for her next words. Qiao Luowei and Du Yan looked at each other for a while, and then asked in a slightly questioning tone: "Mayor Du, have you had any other considerations about your job?" "Where does Mr. Qiao think I should work? Du Yan asked with a smile. This is what he was waiting for. "Although you are innocent, it has aroused some bad suspicions after all. It seems inappropriate for you to continue to stay in Daqing Township," Qiao Luowei looked away slightly at this point. "That means I have to move around. I wonder who will take the position of mayor of Daqing Township, or director of the three economic zones?" Du Yan continued to ask noncommittally. "I don't know about this. The candidate should be decided by Pingling or Taihua City." Qiao Luowei's body regained the aloofness it had before. She raised her hand and looked at the delicate wrists of Hao, who was as white as jade. Women's Watch "Let Xiaoyun take you to meet your parents. If you have anything else to do, you can contact Xiaoyun." In other words, you will never see me again in the future. I guess there is nothing wrong with me in Pingling. Du Yan thought to himself. By this time, he had roughly understood the Song family's intentions. Since someone wanted to use themselves to attack Li Peizheng, and then snipe Yang Weiquan's love general Qu Xiangshan into the province, the Song family seemed to be willing to see Yang Weiquan appear because his love general was frustrated. embarrassment, because only in this way can the importance of the Song family be reflected. At the same time, the framework of the three towns and one place economic zone has been roughly established. As long as it is approved by the superior administration, formal preparations can begin. I, a pawn, may no longer have much value in the eyes of some people. As long as little attention is paid to the cross-provincial economic bridge strategy, anyone with a little discernment can see what important role the three-town economic zone will play in the future economic development of the mainland and what kind of political achievements it will achieve. How could such a good thing finally happen to me? The so-called peach picking has always been the most enthusiastic thing for some people in official circles. Now that such a big fruit is placed there, how can no one snatch it? Du Yan stood up and looked at Qiao Luowei. After pondering for a moment, he said calmly: "It was just a coincidence and has nothing to do with Xiao Zhu. I just hope that I won't affect her work and life." Wei looked at Du Yan in surprise. She thought that Du Yan might be angry, roar or even curse, but she never expected that what Du Yan said was to explain to Xiao Zhu, whom she had never met before. . "I will consider it," Qiao Luowei replied lightly, and then she suddenly continued, "Actually, I have a good impression of her, and she has always been very dedicated to her work." "Thank you," Du Yan said with a trace of emotion. Grateful, he knew that people like Xiang Qiao Luowei would not specifically embarrass a little waiter. Since she said she would not care anymore, Zhao Xiaoyun would not deliberately embarrass that girl again. "Mr. Qiao, you may never You will understand how many people's fate can be changed by such a kind thought." Hearing the depth in Du Yan's words that was completely different from his age, Qiao Luowei looked at Du Yan again, she didn't know what the final decision was. No, but she knew that from the moment she made this decision, the Song family lost a good talent and made an enemy who seemed inconspicuous now. When he walked out of the room and saw Xiao Zhu standing in the corridor, Du Yan walked over and smiled at her. Du Yan thought maybe Xiao Zhu would hate him very much, but it was beyond his expectation.Du Yan, Xiao Zhu forced a smile on his face. "I'm leaving now. We may never see each other again. I've caused you a lot of trouble. I'm sorry." Du Yan whispered, but then he felt that these words were too insincere and almost cost him his job. , I imitated the Japanese social diction, saying a few words that it doesn¡¯t hurt, then patting my butt and leaving, which didn¡¯t seem very authentic. "Don't worry, I've already told Mr. Qiao that your work will not be affected." Du Yan comforted him again. Seeing Xiao Zhu's surprise at first and then the expression of joy on his face, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Thank you Mr. Du, thank you Mr. Qiao." Du Yan sighed secretly in his heart. The ordinary people at the bottom are always so easy to be satisfied, as long as you give them A little benefit will make them burst into tears of gratitude, even if it is what they deserve. "Wait a minute!" A cold voice came from behind, and the excited smile on Xiao Zhu's face immediately disappeared, and he stepped back and lowered his head to look at the ground. Zhao Xiaoyun walked over quickly. She had changed out of her military uniform and was wearing the short lambskin jacket that Du Yan had seen before. She had a pair of toned and slender breasts wrapped in a pair of black elastic pants. On her feet, she wore half-length The boots looked shiny, but as he stood in the corridor, he looked clean and handsome. "I'll see you off." Zhao Xiaoyun said. When passing by Xiao Zhu, he stopped and looked at Xiao Zhu, who had lowered his eyes, and said to her: "Mr. Qiao wants to see you." Xiao Zhu immediately raised his head and was worried. He looked at Du Yan, but then bowed slightly and walked towards Qiao Luowei's room. "Don't look at it, you won't do anything to her," Zhao Xiaoyun said coldly, "You are not simple, you are very good at coaxing little girls, and you can cause trouble wherever you go." "So why don't you just kick it aside? Are you there?" Du Yan finally couldn't hold it back, and when he thought about it, he didn't have to treat Zhao Xiaoyun like he did with Qiao Luowei. Speaking of it, he really enjoyed the sharp communication method with Zhao Xiaoyun. "You probably won't see her again in the future. "I am, are you happy this time?" Zhao Xiaoyun stared at Du Yan closely, because the distance between the two was very close, so Du Yan even seemed to be able to feel the pair of sizable figures on her tall and acquainted chest. The peak brings silky temperature. "The dog bit Lu Dongbin!" Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly cursed in a low voice, ignored Du Yan, turned around and walked towards the elevator. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua New Star" Chapter 31 Chapter 30 The Strange Zhao Xiaoyun Coming down from Qifeng Mountain in the south of the city and going all the way down the mountain road, Pajiro quickly merged into the flashing lights of cars on the streets of Tongyang. In the early 1990s, Tongyang was not lively at night. Except for the bright lights from street lights and cars passing by on the street, both sides of the street seemed pitch black. Zhao Xiaoyun drove the car silently, headlights flashed in, and phantoms of varying light and dark flashed across her face. Du Yan leaned back in his seat and thought quietly. Since he was destined to be eliminated, he would not feel unwilling to do so. In fact, he had already had this realization from the beginning. Now that you have entered the officialdom, you must play by other people's rules before you have the strength to make your own rules of the game. If you can afford it, you are a winner. If you can¡¯t afford it, there is no need to complain! The car drove onto a street that seemed to be getting busier and busier. As the top of a stone tablet in the distance got closer and closer, Du Yan recognized this place as the famous May Day Square in Tongyang. In the early 1990s, the Wuyi Square area was the first central area with modern life developed in Tongyang. In addition to the fact that most of the high-end hotels were near Wuyi Square, it was mainly because of the several streets surrounding the square. A large number of the earliest forms of bars, discos and other entertainment venues appeared in the city. Pajero passed directly through the empty and silent square and drove towards a brightly lit hotel opposite the square. The car stopped on the ramp in front of the hotel, but Zhao Xiaoyun turned around in his seat and looked at Du Yan, as if he had no intention of asking him to get off. "Is there anything else?" Du Yan asked. He knew that he might never see Zhao Xiaoyun again. Regarding this situation, Du Yan did not hate Qiao Luowei or Song Jiayi. Speaking of which, Qiao Luowei could be there. It was rare for someone to rescue him at the last moment and promise to solve the trouble for him later. In fact, when Du Yan understood the joints, he already knew that if the Song family abandoned him completely like an abandoned son, it would be very difficult. Nothing surprising. "Ninth floor, suite 922." Zhao Xiaoyun said. Seeing Du Yan turn around and open the door after hearing this, she continued, "It's nine ten now. I'll pick you up in an hour." Is there anything else?" Du Yan looked back at Zhao Xiaoyun curiously, but seeing the expression on her face, Du Yan knew there was nothing he could ask. As soon as I got out of the car and closed the door, the Pajero immediately started up. Accompanied by a gust of cold wind, the car suddenly drove down the ramp and passed directly between two oncoming cars. Pajero sped away amidst the curses. Looking at the back of Pajero going away, Du Yan stood at the door of the hotel and took a long breath and exhaled forcefully. This time, it seemed that he had vomited out something that was suppressed in his chest. After walking into the hotel and entering the elevator, Du Yan stopped in front of the door marked 922 according to the room door number. Du Yan exhaled again and knocked on the door. The door was opened almost immediately! Standing in the door was Du Fei. Du Fei looked steadily at Du Yan outside the door. When he finally confirmed that Du Yan came alone and was not being escorted, Du Fei first showed a smile on his face, then let out a scream and jumped. He reached Du Yan and hugged him tightly! "Brother!" Du Fei's heartbreaking cry from the bottom of his heart immediately grabbed Du Yan's heart. He also held Du Fei hanging on his body in his arms and gently patted his sister's shoulder. Hearing the sound in the room, Du Zhenhai and his wife immediately came out. Looking at their son's seemingly thinner face, Sang Shulan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly let out a low cry. "Why are you crying? Xiaoyan, everything is fine," Du Zhenhai said to his wife when he saw that his son was back. But then he walked over and stretched out his strong hands, holding the two children tightly in his arms. "I I know I was wronged by Xiao Yan, I know what my son is like!" His father held him tightly in his arms and looked at the new appointment in Du Zhenhai's eyes. Du Yan suddenly felt that all the unfair treatment he had received before was insignificant. How about being framed? So what if he is treated as an outcast by a wealthy family? With the certainty that I have about the future, can't I just start over? Whether it¡¯s the Song family or the Yang family, these wealthy dignitaries may not even consider sacrificing a small local cadre, but they must not belittle themselves like this! You can't just feel sorry for yourself, otherwise no one will sympathize with you. This world is such a reality. Flowers will always be given to the winners, while what is given to the losers is overwhelming ridicule and endless sewage. "Speak in the room." Du Zhenhai, who woke up first, urged Du Fei, who was pestering Du Yan. After entering the door, Sang Shulan immediately pulled Du Yan and looked up and down. "Xiaoyan, have you suffered any grievances?Did someone hit you? "What nonsense are you talking about," Du Zhenhai snorted, "You think our public security department is just like the old society. Is it possible to do that to your own comrades?" " Du Yan just smiled. Of course he would not tell his parents about the previous experience. That would not only make his mother more worried, but also may shake some of the beliefs his father had formed over the years. Although he knew it was unlikely, Du Yan still hoped Your family should never be exposed to and know the darkness and ugliness behind those high-sounding things. ¡°Xiaoyan, tell me, what¡¯s going on? " After calming down a little, the look on Du Zhenhai's face slowly became serious. Although he believed that his son would not be the kind of scum that was rumored to collude with unscrupulous businessmen to embezzle public funds and harm the country, but he suddenly heard that his son The surprise and horror of being isolated and examined cannot be erased from their minds, especially in the past two days, when they were suddenly taken to Tongyang by the mysterious Mr. Qiao. He should be a person with a great background, but the rumor that Du Yan is in collusion with Mr. Qiao, who is said to be from Huachang Group, has already been made known to everyone in Pingling. So if they hadn't been arranged. Stay here and tell them that Du Yan will be fine soon. The person who makes them wait with peace of mind is a young female officer. Du Zhenhai may have found a nearby government or public security agency to report it. "That's it, brother, tell me. What's going on? Why do you think you're corrupt when you're fine? " Du Fei sat next to Du Yan. She hugged Du Yan's arm tightly, regardless of her brother's arm almost completely sinking into the ravine between her already sizable breasts. "It's nothing, it's just that For the misunderstanding on the financial system, I myself am partly responsible for it. I was too impatient and eager for success. " Du Yan explained in an evasive manner. He knew that his parents would obviously not understand what happened, or if they really understood what happened, it might be worse. " Listening to Du Yan's explanation, Du Zhenhai pondered for a moment and then After a few words of warning, Du Zhenhai vaguely realized that his son was suddenly isolated for investigation but suddenly and inexplicably fine. The surprisingly beautiful young woman and the female officer beside her who worked quickly and seemed to have a lot of background, Du Zhenhai felt that it was better not to ask too much about some things. ¡°Brother, what does that Qiao always do? Du Fei suddenly asked in a low voice. Her words immediately attracted the attention of Sang Shulan next to her. She looked at her son with a strange look. Sang Shulan also asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Yes, what does that Qiao always do?" of? Why is there a female soldier beside her? " "Mom, she's not a female soldier, she's a second lieutenant. In the army, she's the platoon leader, right? Du Fei immediately corrected her, then turned back and asked Du Yan, "Brother, I heard many people say that you hooked up with her. Tell me what she does?" " "What kind of hooking up with each other, the big girl said it is so ugly. "Sang Shulan scolded her daughter, but her eyes were fixed on Du Yan, as if she wanted to read something from her son's face. "Mr. Qiao, she is the one from the capital company that invested in Daqing Township. Representative, she handed over the company's financial accounts to the relevant departments, and my situation naturally became clear. " Du Yan said calmly that he didn't want to talk about Qiao Luowei anymore, but Du Fei obviously didn't want to let him go. "Brother, this Mr. Qiao is really amazing. A person like Su Qian's mother can't let her go. It can be treated submissively and docilely. "Remembering what happened before, Du Fei chuckled. "What? Su Qian¡¯s mother? What's up with her? "Du Yan frowned. Du Yan could guess how Gu Weifen would react without even thinking about it. So although he was anxious to report that Su Qian was safe, he still tried his best to hold back in front of his family. Because Du Yan had already guessed that after hearing the news, Gu Weifen would probably go to his house and make a fuss. Even if Su Qian's parents could bear it, he would be very unhappy if he showed too much to Su Qian. If you care too much, you may break the hearts of your parents and family members. ¡°Brother, what are you talking about, who is Su Qian¡¯s mother? " Du Fei shook Du Yan's arm hard, and his face became gloomy, and Sang Shulan's face didn't look very good either. "Xiaoyan, Qianqian is a good child, but her mother, hey. "Du Zhenhai, who never spoke much on such matters, sighed. This sigh made Du Yan's heart sink. "Brother, when Su Qian's mother heard that something happened to you, she immediately asked Su Qian to disown you. relationship, and later she simply came to our house and insisted that you had been pestering and forcing her daughter to be friends with you, and also said that youDu Fei blushed and said nothing further, but looking at her like that, Du Yan could guess that they were inseparable. "Xiao Fei, go to the back room for a while." Sang Shulan suddenly ordered her daughter. Although Du Fei was reluctant, seeing the stern look on her mother's face, she reluctantly turned around and went to the inner room. "Xiaoyan, there is nothing we can't say to our family. Qianqian's mother came to our house and made a big fuss. She also said that you forced her daughter to have sex with you. She wanted to go to the county public security bureau to sue you for being a hooligan. Tell your mother the truth today. You guys Was it voluntary between the two of them? " Du Yan felt a headache. He naturally knew that Gu Weifen said this because he was afraid of being implicated, but he could also imagine that Gu Weifen must have acted like a shrew at that time. Once this woman became overbearing, She can really say things without hesitation that make everyone unable to get off the stage. "Mom, you also know, Qianqian and I have been together for a long time," Du Yan said helplessly and slightly clumsily. He never thought that one day he would have to explain such a thing to his mother, "The two of us We really love each other, and we, we are voluntary. I think even if her mother really goes to court, she will prove her relationship with me. " "Yes, we believe Qianqian's child, but her mother," Sang. Shulan shook her head. "Brother, Su Qian's mother said you are a bad person!" Du Fei suddenly poked his head out from the crack in the door of the room and shouted outside. After speaking, he immediately went back and closed the door. "Xiao Fei, come out, I have something to tell you." Du Yan said helplessly to the closed door. He was a little embarrassed thinking that his sister must have been hiding behind the door just now and eavesdropping on him, but thinking that if this continues, one day Su Sister-in-law Qian and Du Fei always get along, and if Du Fei is always hostile to Su Qian, he feels that it is better to resolve the matter as soon as possible. The door opened slightly, and Du Fei walked out with her head lowered. She obediently looked at Du Zhenhai, who was frowning and staring at her, and immediately sat quietly next to her mother. "Xiao Fei is right, Su Qian's mother is really too much." Sang Shulan said with an ugly face. If it wasn't because she felt sorry for her son, she might be in a dilemma, and Su Qian is indeed a good child who is loved by others. During the early days of mass production, Sang Shulan, the captain of the Iron Girls team, had a bad temper and was already rude to Gu Weifen. "In the end, Mr. Qiao took it out on us," Du Fei added with a smile. "Brother, you don't know. At that time, Su Qian's mother came to our house to make trouble. The yard was surrounded by people, and even the film policeman Xiao Zhang came to deal with it. There was a problem. I was so angry that I wanted to beat that bad woman, but my mother stopped me. Suddenly, a very large jeep arrived outside our courtyard, and what came out was Mr. Qiao and the female officer next to her. " As he talked and compared, his eyes were filled with stars of admiration. Du Yan couldn't help but feel that the person getting out of the Pajero was not the indifferent Qiao Luowei, but someone wearing a windbreaker, a pair of sunglasses, and two guns in his hands. , Brother Fa with cool moves "That Mr. Qiao didn't talk to Su Qian's mother from the beginning to the end, but he calmed her down like that, and the female officer next to her also had a loud tone. As soon as she opened her mouth, she She said she was here to pick up our family. When Xiao Zhang tried to stop her, she asked the leader of the county public security bureau to come over and talk. Xiao Zhang was so shocked that he was shocked. "Du Fei laughed. "Later, Fatty Ding helped him out. , and called Director Wang from the police station whom you knew, and Xiao Zhang just left stupidly. " "Has Hongwei come to our house?" Du Yan smiled happily. Friends from two generations are indeed valuable. Du Yan admired Ding Bingxian even more. At this time when everyone was afraid of avoiding him, Ding Hongwei took the initiative to come to the door. Although this was the friendship between the two of them, it could be seen that Ding Bingxian was never alienated from him. Du Yan was a little surprised when Du Fei mentioned Wang Lianyi's helpful performance. At this time, even if Wang Lianyi ignored him, it was just a matter of course. It is a common practice in official circles to praise him while he is doing nothing. In many cases, it is enough to avoid adding insult to injury. It¡¯s so valuable. "Brother, didn't you see the way Su Qian's mother looked at Mr. Qiao? It was just like a mouse looking at a cat. But don't tell me, Mr. Qiao is really amazing. Not only is he amazingly beautiful, but She looked different from others when she got there, and I thought she was some kind of movie star." Du Fei kept chattering. "Mr. Qiao is such a nice person," Sang Shulan also nodded and said. She also looked at Du Zhenhai, as if she wanted her husband to prove it too. "He took good care of our three mothers along the way. He was always there for meals and rest." I want to ask, after arriving in Tongyang, we asked the female soldier to arrange for us to stay in such a good hotel. Xiaoyan, what did Mr. Qiao do? "Sang Shulan suddenly said inexplicably, "It's a pity, that's it. I'm a little older." Seeing his mother's obviously meaningful expression, and thinking about what it would be like if Qiao Luowei heard her words, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Time passed unconsciously, when Du Yan accidentallyWhen I saw the clock on the wall pointing to ten past ten, there was a knock on the door. Du Fei walked to the door in a few steps and opened the door. When she saw Zhao Xiaoyun standing outside, Du Fei smiled. "Sister Xiaoyun, you are here." Du Fei shouted happily, which made Du Yan stunned again. He did not expect that the relationship between Du Fei and Zhao Xiaoyun seemed to be good. "Sister Xiaoyun, are you here to see my brother?" Du Fei pulled Zhao Xiaoyun and asked. To Du Yan's surprise, Zhao Xiaoyun did not show any impatience with Du Fei's enthusiastic action. "I'm here to see Du Yan," Zhao Xiaoyun walked into the room and said hello to Du Zhenhai and his wife, and then said to Du Yan, "The time is up, I'll pick you up." "Why are you still going out? It's so late?" Sang Shulan She asked a little worriedly. She was still a little worried about Qiao Luowei and Zhao Xiaoyun, who had mysterious origins. "Mom, we'll be back soon after we go out. It's okay. You can rest first." Du Yan said and walked out of the room with Zhao Xiaoyun. Sitting in the Pajero, Du Yan asked: "Where else are we going?" Zhao Xiaoyun didn't say anything, but suddenly started the car, dashed down the hotel ramp like before, and drove forward across the square. To Du Yan's surprise, Pajero stopped in front of a street store before driving very far. Looking at the slightly dark "Scar Bar" name above, Du Yan really didn't expect that Zhao Xiaoyun would take him Come to a place like this. "Get out of the car." After Zhao Xiaoyun said that, he turned around, opened the door and got out of the car. Seeing Zhao Xiaoyun standing outside looking at him provocatively, Du Yan got out of the car inexplicably: "What are you doing here?" "Of course you come to the bar to drink." Zhao Xiaoyun's face revealed to Du Yan for the first time Smile, but in Du Yan's eyes, this smile made things seem a bit unreliable. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 32 Chapter 31 Bar Fight In the early 1990s, bars were still a new thing, especially in mainland cities. Most ordinary people's impressions of bars were still based on the smoky descriptions of old societies or evil capitalist countries in movies. And the generally low living standards at that time indeed turned bars into some kind of place that could only be enjoyed by special people. At least at this time, going to bars was not only a taste, but also a symbol of status and wealth. Compared with many years later, bars at this time were still relatively well behaved, at least to the point where they became a gathering place for one-night stands. Although sometimes some men and women who fell in love with each other while drinking might just go out and find a place to spend the night together, and it also happened. There are some disputes or even fights, but most people who enter the bar will maintain their identity. At least after walking in the door and hearing the slow and elegant music inside, they will sometimes feel like "We are also particular about people". . The "scar" is not very big. In addition to the main hall after entering, there is also a small wine room on the left and right separated by a half-moon door. It looks like a unique combination of Chinese and Western styles. The lighting in the bar was soft. Except for the slightly soft yellow ceiling light above the head, only the wall lamps on the wall gave off a soft white light. Zhao Xiaoyun seemed to be quite familiar with this place. After entering, she walked straight to the wine shop on the left and sat down at a table against the wall. Du Yan was a little strange, but he didn't ask, and he didn't bother to explore Zhao Xiaoyun's strange behavior. In Du Yan's view, the Song family has nothing to do with him at least now. As for whether it will be involved in the future, he doesn't know yet. Although encountering such an encounter is a big blow to anyone, Du Yan is actually not discouraged. If he thought about it carefully, he even felt that although the Song family did something unethical this time, it might not be a good thing for him. Domestic officialdom is all about being low-key and calm. No matter how strong the backing is, it is never a good thing if you are too prominent. What about a grassroots cadre like me who has neither background nor backing and can at most have the support of the county party committee secretary? So taking a hit and suffering a loss at this time may seem like a setback, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. Judging from the fact that the Song family did not hesitate to use Zhao Youxun to dispatch troops to take him away this time, this was certainly a show by the Song family to show to some people in the official circles of Hexi Province, but based on this, it can be inferred that the Song family would not just abandon themselves like this. On the side. If that happens, the reputation will be somewhat bad for the Song family, which has just set foot in Hexi Province and is preparing to recruit troops. After all, those who want to join the family will have some scruples when they see their fate. It was precisely because of these thoughts that Du Yan, after figuring out that the Song family was stumbling upon him behind his back, felt angry, but he still didn't completely fall out. "Miss Xiaoyun, you're here," a young bartender wearing a black vest, with his hair combed into three-quarter parts and looking like a typical bartender, came over. He quickly looked at Du Yan, who was sitting on the other side. Then he smiled and said to Zhao Xiaoyun, "Miss Xiaoyun, are you free today, not with your sister?" "She has something to do today, so I came here by myself." Zhao Xiaoyun's eyes were just staring at Du Yan across the wine table, even if he answered the bartender When she looked at her, her eyes were motionless. If she were like this to another girl, she would definitely be considered as being too affectionate to her lover. She was unwilling to let the other person leave her sight for a second, but on Zhao Xiaoyun's face, It looked very strange, and coupled with the inexplicable smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, the bartender felt that he had to leave the table as soon as possible, otherwise he didn't know what would happen in the next second. "Then you still drink Black Flame?" the bartender asked. After seeing Zhao Xiaoyun staring at Du Yan and nodding slowly, he looked back at Du Yan. Before he could speak, Zhao Xiaoyun had already said, "Give him a share too." The same thing." The bartender responded and turned away, but before he took two steps, Zhao Xiaoyun's next words almost made the bartender stumble: "If the flames are going to sink, use a tumbler to hold them up." The bartender turned around and said something strange. He looked at Du Yan with his eyes, but there was indescribable pity in that expression. After the bartender left, the atmosphere became even more strange. The two men and women who came to drink together just looked at each other across the table, and neither of them spoke. Their strange atmosphere made the guests on several tables not far away They couldn't help but look over from time to time. If it were not a pair of young men and women sitting there, but two burly men, just because of the strange behavior between the two people, many customers in the bar might have fled. It wasn't until the bartender brought two weird-looking pot-bellied glasses without seats that Zhao Xiaoyun spoke: "I'm treating you today." When he heard that the drink he wanted to drink was Black Flame, Du Yan already knew that Zhao Xiaoyun was not being kind today. After hearing her talk about using a tumbler to serve wine, Du Yan was completely sure that he didn't know when he had offended her. This girl was determined to make a fool of herself tonight.   In Zhao Xiaoyun's view, a bumpkin like Du Yan who came from a remote village would certainly not know what black flames were. As for the consequences of drinking a full glass of black flames from a tumbler filled with so-called bottomless pits, Du Yan would not even know what would happen. However, Du Yan was the one who knew! In his previous life, after Du Yan came to Tongyang, he once spent all day hanging out in various social situations for the sake of business. Because of this, he was very interested in this special blended wine that was later known as a one-night stand in nightclubs. It can be said that it is already overripe. Looking at the unsettling dark red from the bottom, slowly transitioning to a dark black flame above, that inexplicable smile appeared on Zhao Xiaoyun's face again: "You have suffered a lot these days. , I'll give you a toast." Du Yan picked up the wine glass and felt the weight on his hand. He couldn't help but shake his head secretly. This girl is quite dark. He knew what Zhao Xiaoyun meant when he said "the flames are going to sink to the bottom". He looked at it. The cup of black flames in her hand was the same as his own. Du Yan was wondering, had this girl taken the wrong medicine today? She would rather lose three thousand to herself than cripple herself to ten thousand? "Come on, don't be a mother-in-law, and learn from it." After saying that, Zhao Xiaoyun slowly put the rim of the wine glass to his lips, and then under Du Yan's slightly stunned gaze, he really started to drink it. Du Yan couldn't help but open his mouth slightly. It wasn't that he was afraid of drinking, but he really didn't expect Zhao Xiaoyun to make a fool of himself and actually started drinking. When he saw the guests next to him who had already paid attention to his table, some of them even looked at him from the central hall. Du Yan couldn't help but smile secretly. He knew that Zhao Xiaoyun was deliberately irritating him. Even if he didn't know it, after taking a sip, he felt that there was something wrong with the wine. But under the gaze of so many people, how could he let a girl suppress it? The main thing is that Du Yan doesn't understand why Zhao Xiaoyun went crazy today. Not understanding this issue always makes him feel as if there is something he hasn't figured out yet. Looking at Zhao Xiaoyun, who had a slightly healthy wheat-colored skin with a blush on his cheeks after taking a few sips, Du Yan shook his head helplessly, then picked up the wine glass and started to drink slowly. As soon as he touched his lips, Du Yan frowned. He didn't expect that what Zhao Xiaoyun drank before was actually this kind of black flame that had been chilled beforehand. If other wines were chilled and drank, they would only bring more harm. With a good taste, Black Flame, a wine that is already extremely powerful, will be even more powerful if it is chilled beforehand. Du Yan drank it in one gulp. The sweet and spicy wine made his body heat up slightly. He could feel his cheeks burning like fire. He knew that this was just the beginning. The really powerful one should be a period of time. After time. He believed that Zhao Xiaoyun certainly knew this, and he had even imagined that Zhao Xiaoyun might not be so happy when he thought that he would be in trouble soon after he returned to the hotel and saw that he was fine. In fact, the smile on Zhao Xiaoyun's face was getting thicker and thicker at this time. While she drank sips of wine, she squinted at Du Yan across the table, who was also "silly" talking to her one after another, and felt a wave of excitement in her heart. of pleasure. At this time, more and more people were looking around. For many people, the name of Black Flame was like a thunder to their ears. However, there was something wrong with this pair in front of them. They actually took out beer bottles in the bar. The posture opened up the black flames, which immediately attracted the attention of many people. The bartender standing in the distance walked back and forth uneasily, peeking his head in from time to time. He didn't know why Miss Xiaoyun, who had been having trouble with her "sister" during this period, wanted to treat this young man like this. If she and her This young man has some emotional entanglements, but he doesn't want to vent his anger with black flames. If he drinks like this, someone might die! More than half the cup of black flames had entered his stomach. Du Yan felt as if a large amount of red-hot lead ore had suddenly been stuffed into his stomach. It was heavy and hot, but he knew that this was nothing. The real power was yet to come. After continuing to drink a few sips, Du Yan saw that Zhao Xiaoyun's originally red cheeks had turned red, and sweat began to appear on her smooth forehead. As her throat kept swallowing mouthfuls of wine, it was wrapped in black The plump breasts under the elastic shirt also kept rising and falling slightly. Du Yan could only smile bitterly. He didn't know how he had offended Zhao Xiaoyun, but speaking of it, he admired Zhao Xiaoyun's courage. Even if he wanted to punish himself, he would not take advantage of him. He would rather suffer the consequences himself and use an aboveboard method. Make yourself suffer. "It's rare to get drunk a few times in life, so I drank." Du Yan smiled slightly, he just woke up from being drunk and regained his life. Such an experience is not strange. Maybe after he wakes up after being drunk this time, he will findReturning to his previous life, if that were the case, Zhao Xiaoyun would regard this glass of wine as a specially made sobering bar for himself. Thinking of this, Du Yan suddenly raised his wine glass high, and drank the remaining black flames in one gulp amidst the slightly surprised low voices from the people around him! Zhao Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect this bastard to actually take a gulp. Looking at the half glass of wine left in her glass, she hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and bringing it to her mouth! But her hand was suddenly grabbed! Zhao Xiaoyun looked at Du Yan who grabbed her wrist across the table in confusion. Just as he was about to scold her, he saw Du Yan shaking his head at her with a solemn expression: "Girls can't drink like this. It's very harmful to the body." Zhao Xiaoyun's face She blushed again. She didn't believe that Du Yan knew what the black flame was. However, Du Yan's action of blocking her from drinking made her feel that this bastard was not too bad. But then her face darkened and she said coldly: "I said I would drink with you. Of course I have to drink if you drink. I won't take advantage of you." "Then let me take advantage of you." Du Yan said Then he took the wine glass from Zhao Xiaoyun's hand, and before she could react, she raised her head and drank it in one gulp. Zhao Xiaoyun looked at Du Yan in astonishment. When he saw him smiling and then standing up and walking to the bathroom, he was a little dazed for a moment. Seeing Du Yan leave, the bartender immediately came over. He looked at Zhao Xiaoyun nervously and mumbled: "Miss Xiaoyun, this, that gentleman has almost drank. Don't make too much trouble." "Why? , your bar is still afraid of customers drinking?" Zhao Xiaoyun's suffocated anger immediately found an outlet. She glared at the bartender and said "Hmph" "Bring a few dozen more beers, I don't believe he can handle it. Live here.¡± After hearing Zhao Xiaoyun¡¯s words, the bartender couldn¡¯t help but feel a little embarrassed. At this moment, a fierce noise suddenly came from the central hall! "What's the big deal? Who are you running around hiding from? They're all here to play, what's the big deal?" A high-pitched voice shouted. Zhao Xiaoyun heard the sound and looked around, only to see a man who had just come in from outside walking to the bar and yelling at a girl. "Go away, I'm not that kind of casual woman!" the girl yelled angrily, and at the same time picked up a glass of wine from the table and poured it towards the man. The man instinctively dodged, but because the distance was too close, he did not do so. The glass of wine was thrown on his face, and the wine immediately flowed down the coat. This immediately aroused the man's ferocity. He opened his mouth to curse and raised his hand to hit the girl in the face! Zhao Xiaoyun stood up immediately! But because of the distance, she could only watch the man waving his hands and hitting him. But suddenly, a person came over from the side. As the person grabbed the man's wrist and pulled and twisted it, the man's arm was immediately twisted back, and then his body was pushed forward and he fell headlong. Arrived on a chair next to me! "How dare you fucking hit me!" The man got up and roared furiously, but when he was about to rush forward, he saw that the man opposite had grabbed the wine bottle on the table. He couldn't help but turned around suddenly. Run outside the bar! Everyone in the bar couldn't help but be stunned. They had seen people fighting before, but it was the first time they had seen someone running away so happily when the situation was bad. Zhao Xiaoyun walked into the middle hall and looked at Du Yan, who was standing there with a wine bottle, looking a bit majestic. She couldn't help but curl her lips slightly and at the same time tilted her head to look at the girl who was still holding a wine glass in a daze. He looks like he should be a college student, he looks really good, no wonder this kid is so active, Zhao Xiaoyun, thinking in his mind, curled his lips again: "I said you will take the opportunity to play a hero and save the beauty, and this time this one is no worse than Xiao Zhu. " Zhao Xiaoyun's words made the girl who had just become grateful couldn't help but look at Du Yan with vigilant eyes, as if what happened just now was directed and acted by Du Yan. Du Yan was a little confused as to how he had offended this girl and why he was no longer with her. Just when Du Yan was about to speak, the door of the bar was suddenly pushed open with force, and with the cold wind blowing in, the man from before broke in with a few accomplices who were not Lord Ansheng at first sight! "Who is Brother Liang? Let's deal with him!" A young man with long hair took out a military thorn from his arms and waved it forward. "Just this kid, beat me to death! Beat me to death or make you cripple!" The man who rushed in didn't care about the bartender who came to persuade him. As he shouted, several of his accomplices immediately pulled out short daggers from their bodies. Stick, rush towards Du Yan! "Seeking death!" A short and cold cry burst out from Zhao Xiaoyun's mouth. Facing the long-headed young man rushing at the front, her slender right leg wrapped in elastic pants suddenly moved like a spring.With the force of the bullet, the toe of the boot kicked hard on the chin of the long-haired young man. In the "crack" sound of bones that could be heard by the people nearby, the long-haired young man's upper body was kicked backwards with a strong force. Go, but his lower body was still rushing forward, and his whole body hit the ground like a horizontal bag! Zhao Xiaoyun's body didn't stop at all. Maybe it was because she drank the black flame, maybe it was because Du Yan's actions made her feel unable to vent, and the few people in front of her became the targets of her vent! She nimbly dodges in front of those people, dodging an incoming military spur, grabbing the opponent's wrist and squatting down, pushing his elbow dislocated. At the same time, before a short stick hit him, he suddenly bullied the man into his arms, grabbed his belt, and used a wrestling technique that few girls could use, twisted his waist and shoulders, and just threw the man out. ! Then she used her left foot as the axis, raised her right leg high, and rotated vigorously with her whole body. The instep of her right foot slapped the other person's neck hard with the huge force brought by her long legs! "Damn it!" The man named Brother Liang yelled. When he saw Zhao Xiaoyun coming right in front of him and turning his back to him, he grabbed a chair next to him and threw it at her! "Be careful!" Du Yan, who had been watching because of Zhao Xiaoyun's quickness and bravery, shouted. He instinctively blocked forward without thinking, and the chair legs broke off on Du Yan's shoulders. Maybe the alcohol had already taken effect, and he was shocked. Not only did Du Yan feel no pain, but he aroused the anger that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart. "Holy shit!" He yelled, not retreating but advancing, and grabbed the man's chest clothes. Although he couldn't do it as neatly as Zhao Xiaoyun, But he also threw his hand over his shoulder, and as a black shadow flashed in the air, the man had been thrown down by Du Yan along the steps leading to the basement from the bar! "Brother Liang!" The long-haired young man who was knocked unconscious by Zhao Xiaoyun shouted in a vague voice. He looked at his boss who fell at the foot of the steps in fear, and then suddenly yelled like crazy, "Hurry and call the police." Call an ambulance!¡± ¡°Oh my god!¡± the bartender shouted, his face turning pale and his lips turning blue. He gritted his teeth and yelled, ¡°Do you know who he is beating?¡± "District Chief Qian?" Zhao Xiaoyun frowned, "Qian Zhicheng?" "He is Qian Xiaocheng, the son of District Chief Qian of Xiange District. You are in big trouble this time!" When his companion called, he went down the steps to see the young man lying motionless, but he did not dare to go there. "Let's go." Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly said. Seeing the bartender and a few gangsters trying to stop him, she suddenly raised her foot, and a bright military spur that had fallen on the ground during the fight immediately jumped up and fell into her hand. "Whoever dares to stop me, just give it a try!" Zhao Xiaoyun glanced sharply, turned around, grabbed Du Yan's hand and walked outside. As soon as I rushed out of the bar, a dazzling light came towards me! With the screeching sound of brakes, a police car had stopped next to Pajero! "Run!" Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly turned around and ran away. Du Yan couldn't help but be startled by her move. He originally thought that Zhao Xiaoyun would produce some documents, or simply pull out a pistol to show off his power like he did to those cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission before. However, he never expected that she would be like those gangsters who run away after seeing the police after a street fight. But at this time, he couldn't care about it. He was involuntarily dragged towards the street by Zhao Xiaoyun who was always holding his hand. Run deep. "Stop, don't run!" The policeman who had just got out of the car yelled and chased after him without any creativity, but perhaps it was alcohol that caused the two people running in front to run faster and faster. When the policeman followed him, they chased him into a road with several exits. When walking down the side street, the two people had already hid in one of the dark narrow alleys. However, after hiding in, the two people discovered that this was actually a dead end that became narrower and narrower as it went in, and finally the gables on both sides completely closed together! Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 33 Chapter 32 Drunk with wine and flowers like mud Looking at the alley in front of them that was getting narrower and narrower, and finally closed into a blind corner like an elongated triangle, the two people couldn't help but look at each other for a moment. The footsteps outside the alley were getting closer and closer, and the light beam of the flashlight kept flashing. Du Yan looked helplessly at Zhao Xiaoyun who was huddled with him: "I tell you, you better go out and explain." "Explain what? ?" Zhao Xiaoyun stared at Du Yan with some annoyance, maybe because she had just drank, but her eyes were not as sharp as before. "Aren't you an officer? You also have connections with the Song family. You can send those police officers off just by taking any of them." Du Yan was puzzled. Why was she running around when Zhao Xiaoyun was fine? This was a good run. Even if he went out to identify himself, the police probably wouldn't believe him easily. "I don't want to!" Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly said in a tone of anger. At this time, a burst of light flashed over again, and the two people involuntarily moved into the increasingly narrow alley, but in this way the two people could not When they stood side by side again, they could only turn slightly sideways and lean their backs against the wall. "I can't cause trouble for Mr. Qiao anymore," Zhao Xiaoyun said with some regret, but then she glared at Du Yan in front of her and lowered her voice, "You bastard who doesn't know good people's hearts, if it weren't for you, Mr. Qiao would "Are you so angry?" "What did you say?" Du Yan looked at Zhao Xiaoyun who was getting angry for some reason, because he was already drunk from running all the way, so he didn't have too many worries, even though he was outside the alley. Someone was looking for them, but at this moment, Du Yan had the urge to make a scene, "You act like I owe you. Don't forget that it was you who screwed me over in this whole thing." " So you're a bastard." Because of the effect of alcohol, Zhao Xiaoyun seemed to have forgotten that this was a narrow place where movement was inconvenient. She wanted to raise her arm, but it hit Du Yan's ribs, and she heard Du Yan groan. She seemed to have just remembered her current situation, and couldn't help but cover Du Yan's mouth with her other hand. "Don't scream, do you want them to find us?" The two of them stayed in silence for a while, but they fell into silence. in a stalemate. "What a bad luck. Where can I find this? Bagua Alley is famous for its fascinating people." A voice suddenly sounded at the entrance of the alley, as if someone was outside. "I don't know where these two ignorant people came from." "Master, you just beat District Chief Qian's precious son, how can you be so unlucky now?" "We just got scolded, and Suo Zhao is unlucky. You said that that little bastard caused trouble in our area, isn't it?" The excuse Zhao gave him was of no use. Just this time, everything Zhao did before was in vain. He is just waiting for misfortune." The other policeman sighed with a bit of sadness. "Forget it, Lao Zhao is not worthy of pity. Lao Zhao took care of all the bastard things Qian Xiaocheng did for him. If nothing else, let's talk about that female student from Tong University this summer" "Hey, don't Nonsense, can you say that casually?" The companion immediately interrupted the policeman, "I'm telling Lin Zi, I'm just trying to persuade you. Some things you can say, some things you can't, don't you understand? You can get yourself into trouble just because you open your mouth. " "Why don't I just say it? If it weren't for you, Lao Li, I wouldn't have mentioned it to anyone else," the policeman named Lin Zi said in a flattering tone, "When are we going back? ?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be too early, everything must be in chaos now. Since we are unlucky to have this matter, it will be difficult to go back too early.¡± Lao Li said somewhat helplessly. Listening to the two policemen chatting outside, Du Yan didn't know why Zhao Xiaoyun seemed a little worried, but it was indeed a little inconvenient for others to see the two of them at this time. He felt that they were too close to the alley. He winked at Zhao Xiaoyun, and the two of them slowly moved inside. But soon they discovered a problem. Because the alley became narrower and narrower, the two of them moved in, and the original distance gradually became smaller. When Du Yan felt Zhao Xiaoyun's pair of plump and strong pairs on his chest, When Feng inevitably rubbed against his chest, he realized that he could no longer go inside. Zhao Xiaoyun was also aware of this embarrassing situation. She glared fiercely at Du Yan, who was very close at hand. The meaning in her eyes was obviously that she suspected that Du Yan did this deliberately to take advantage of herself. Du Yan gave an innocent wry smile. After squeezing tightly together, he discovered that although Zhao Xiaoyun was not very outstanding in appearance, she had a healthy and strong body that was completely different from other ordinary girls. Her body was thinned by long-term exercise. The legs that looked strong and straight were now close to Du Yan, and the breasts that were rising and falling due to the activity and the effect of alcohol could not help but rub against his chest. For a while, Du Yan could even feel it vaguely. The pair of "stubborn rocks" at the top of the mountain seem to have gradually become hard.   Zhao Xiaoyun's breathing became rapid. She never expected that the result of trying to teach Du Yan a lesson would end up like this. She felt that Du Yan's chest seemed to be rubbing against her chest intentionally or unintentionally, and Zhao Xiaoyun felt Waves of soreness made her uneasy. Then, something happened that left both of them stunned. As the two people's bodies rubbed together, Zhao Xiaoyun clearly felt that something was gradually waking up and hardening on Du Yan's belly, which was close to his belly! Zhao Xiaoyun narrowed her eyes and was about to have an attack. Fortunately, Du Yan, who had been prepared, immediately stretched out his hand and pressed it on her mouth. For a while, the two of them stared at the place with big eyes and small eyes, and their breathing became hotter and hotter. His body began to lose control. After a long time, black flames had the nickname of one-night stand only. After finding their target, many beauty hunters would find a way to order a cup of black flames for them. Of course, it would not be Zhao Xiaoyun's special blended wine that "sinks to the bottom" , but even then, women who drink often become easy prey because they can't control the increasingly intense drunkenness. Even later, as the reputation of Black Flame soared, parties looking for a one-night stand often took whether to accept a cup of Black Flame as a hint. Once accepted, regardless of whether they would take a sip, they would have found a bed partner that night. . Now, the two people who drank the black flame with added ingredients are crowded together, avoiding the stimulation, the touch of their bodies, and the smell of alcohol mixed with the ambiguous taste, making the body temperature of the two people keep rising. The two policemen outside had no intention of leaving, but the two men in the alley no longer paid attention to them. Du Yan's hand that was originally pressing on Zhao Xiaoyun's mouth turned into a caress at some point. His palm gently slid on Zhao Xiaoyun's hot cheek, and then came to the back of her neck. When Zhao Xiaoyun was about to struggle, he had already pressed hard. He took her head and pressed her lips to his. "Well." Zhao Xiaoyun groaned. She seemed to be struggling but couldn't make too much noise. She raised one leg and wanted to hit Du Yan's stomach with her knee, but Du Yan, who had expected it, took the opportunity to tighten her body. It was inserted between Zhao Xiaoyun's legs. It seemed that Zhao Xiaoyun specifically raised one leg to make it easier for him. This made Zhao Xiaoyun so angry that he wanted to bite him, but Du Yan suddenly left her lips and looked at this person carefully from a very close place. A beautiful female officer with a figure that other girls definitely don't have. The two people just looked at each other silently. It was quiet outside for some time, but the strange thing was that neither of them had any intention of leaving. "Don't" Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly said in a low voice. The girl who had always been decisive and strong, and even dared to draw a gun against the cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission, had a hint of fear in her voice at this time, but then her voice was blocked by Du Yan. He was interrupted by the strange feeling brought by the hand on his chest. Du Yan was a little surprised to feel the touch on his hands. He didn't expect that Zhao Xiaoyun didn't wear a bra underneath. The softness of the pair and the amazing elasticity of the sporty girl made him involuntarily exert a little force on his hands. "Well," the momentary squeezing made Zhao Xiaoyun's body tremble slightly. The leg she was going to kick Du Yan slowly lowered first, and then tremblingly raised it up with Du Yan's movements. At the same time, the other leg was also kicked by Du Yan. Yan held her up, with her back leaning against the wall and her feet propped up on the wall behind Du Yan. Her whole body seemed to be hanging on Du Yan's body. The two of them remained motionless for a while, just deeply in love with each other. looking at. "You little bastard," Zhao Xiaoyun spat out these words softly, but the meaning sounded completely different from before. "You are proud now. You must have thought about bullying me like this." "I never thought about this. "I'm not that bold," Du Yan said, suddenly squeezing towards Zhao Xiaoyun. "But now I feel a little more confident." "If you bully me like this again, believe it or not, I'll shoot you." Zhao Xiaoyun said angrily. , Du Yan's actions made her feel the fire in her heart getting hotter and hotter. "I know now. It seems that you came out without a gun today," Du Yan said in Zhao Xiaoyun's ear while gently stroking her tight arms. "Do you want me to search you?" "You dare!" Zhao Xiaoyun She just shrunk. She didn't know why she was a little afraid of this little bastard at this time. Logically speaking, it wouldn't be a problem for him to hit three or five of her. "Then just pretend that I don't dare." Du Yan was not too pushy. The effect of alcohol allowed them to have emotions with each other that would never happen in normal times under this special ambiguous atmosphere, and this seemed to The excitement of an affair also made the ambiguous atmosphere more intense, but despite this, Du Yan still had a trace of calmness. He did not forget that he already had Su Qian, and he was very different from Zhao Xiaoyun.?? Function. Although Zhao Xiaoyun's body was getting hotter and hotter under the constant rubbing of his palms, which made Du Yan believe that if he continued, something might happen between the two of them in this alley, but Du Yan finally Still decided to calm down. There are some things you can¡¯t do, and there are some people you can¡¯t even touch! For example, Qiao Luowei Thinking of Qiao Luowei, Du Yan couldn't help but wake up. His hands slowly left Zhao Xiaoyun's body. In her increasingly disappointed eyes, Du Yan gently held her body, which seemed to be already weak. Put it down gently. "Xiaoyun, tell me what happened to you today. Don't you know how powerful that black flame is? Even if you and I make you go to the hospital, you will still hurt yourself." Du Yan held Zhao Xiaoyun's waist and asked in a low voice. , of course he would not tell Zhao Xiaoyun that he had tried his best to spit out the wine he had just drank when he went to the bathroom, but even so, he still couldn't bear it. Hearing Du Yan's inquiry, Zhao Xiaoyun seemed to wake up and immediately moved her body back. But when she heard Du Yan's scream of pain, she realized that there was a wall behind her, and her back was just touching Du Yan's body. His hands pressed against the wall. "You deserve to be dishonest." Zhao Xiaoyun muttered in a low voice, and then she looked at Du Yan with a strange look in her eyes. "Do you know why I scolded you for biting Lu Dongbin?" "Why?" Du Yan asked Dao, although he was vaguely aware of it, he needed confirmation. "Actually, according to the thinking of some people in Huachang, in order to better establish a relationship with the Yang family in Hexi Province, you should be completely sacrificed." Zhao Xiaoyun frowned slightly when he said this, "Don't think that I Even those who agree with what they do, let alone my brother, don¡¯t agree with it. He participated in the counterattack. He said to me more than once that the most shameful person in the world is a person who abandons his comrades. " "We are not at war. "Du Yan smiled. He had a good impression of Zhao Youxun. However, although Zhao Youxun was already a lieutenant colonel at a young age, he didn't think Zhao Youxun could speak for him on this matter. So what didn't make him finally become a lieutenant colonel? What about complete victims? The answer is simple, but Du Yan doesn't want to think about it. He can't explain why. "Do you really don't understand or are you pretending not to understand?" Zhao Xiaoyun glared at Du Yan fiercely. "If Mr. Qiao hadn't spoken for you and repeatedly pointed out that if you were not properly accommodated, it might have chilled the hearts of some people. Do you think Can you drink and tease girls outside now? "Don't tell me, I really want to tease girls all the time." Du Yan looked at Zhao Xiaoyun with a wry smile. "You haven't teased me yet. What are you doing now? Take your claws away." Zhao Xiaoyun twisted his waist to get rid of Du Yan's hand, but because of this twist, his breasts rubbed against Du Yan's chest, and he couldn't help but There was another burst of soreness and numbness. "Get out quickly. Everyone has left. I haven't taken advantage of it yet." Du Yan smiled bitterly, but by this time he was gradually waking up. Although Zhao Xiaoyun's fiery body and almost perfect figure were not enough for him. The temptation was not small, but he still tried his best to calm down. "Xiaoyun, are you saying that Mr. Qiao interceded for me?" Even though he thought of this, Du Yan still felt strange after hearing it from Zhao Xiaoyun. "Of course Mr. Qiao, everyone is gossiping because of you," Zhao Xiaoyun regretted a little after she spoke, and she immediately continued, "But Mr. Song also spoke for you. He said that you are a rare talent, and he has a good relationship with you. "You can't give up just like that." "Can't you just give up?" Du Yan thought a little. After all, Song Jiayi was still a member of the Song family. The reason why he spoke for himself was to maintain some friendship with him. Just as he said that he was somewhat useful, but if things came to a point where he needed to make a choice, how Song Jiayi would treat himself would only be known at that time. It¡¯s just Qiao Luowei Du Yan really can¡¯t imagine it. Why did Qiao Luowei help him so much. From the time Qiao Luowei arrived at the Pingling office, Du Yan had already vaguely guessed that this might be the result of internal conflicts within the Huachang or Song families. Qiao Luowei was obviously assigned to the remote village of Pingling in disguise because he lost power. Although the development of the inland will undoubtedly be Huachang's new economic growth point in the next ten years, it is completely unnecessary. A character like Qiao Luowei was placed in Pingling. "Qiao always belongs to the Song family?" After thinking for a while, Du Yan finally asked out tentatively. He knew that after such an experience, it was obviously impossible for him and Zhao Xiaoyun to return to the original relationship of no contact. But if he wanted to use this relationship to find out the inside story of the Song family or Huachang, he was still a little hesitant. Sure enough, Zhao Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Anyway, you will know in the future that Mr. Qiao's husband is Song Jiayi's eldest son.""Brother Song Jia Lai," she paused before continuing, "Song Jia Lai was born to Mr. Song's father when he went to the south to work, and a female secretary who took care of his life. " Seeing that Zhao Xiaoyun's face, which was originally red from drinking, turned even redder, Du Yan nodded silently. He had naturally heard about the work nature of some senior leaders and the so-called life secretaries. This This phenomenon is almost semi-open and will never become a problem as long as there is no problem. It has become a custom with domestic characteristics for many years. "Don't think wildly, there are many things you don't know," looked at Du. Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly felt annoyed as he said "I understand" and said, "You are not allowed to look down on Mr. Qiao. She is better than many people. She definitely did not marry him because of her status as a member of the Song family. The two of them truly love each other." " "I know," Du Yan smiled, "I can see that Mr. Qiao is a very personal person, but why have I never heard anyone mention Mr. Qiao's husband? He is also Song Jiayi's brother, right? " Zhao Xiaoyun opened her mouth slightly. She glanced at Du Yan, and then sighed softly: "He passed away and died on the battlefield of the counterattack. " Du Yan couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then fell into silence. He knew that in later generations, with the smooth flow of network information, the conclusions about many important events in history have undergone tremendous changes or disputes with the disclosure of some secrets. Among them This includes both the war against the then United Nations after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the counterattack on the southern border in the late 1970s. But no matter what the nature of these wars were, the soldiers who performed their duties in the war, Especially those ordinary soldiers who died on the battlefield cannot be harshly criticized, let alone insulted! But he did not expect that the Song family would actually die on the battlefield, which completely subverted his view of the eldest son of the Song family. Thoughts. "Okay, there are some things I can only tell you so that you don't have to think too much." Zhao Xiaoyun glanced at Du Yan, then suddenly turned to look at him with vigilant eyes as if he thought of something, "Also, You are not allowed to say anything about us. " "What's the matter with us? "Du Yan looked at Zhao Xiaoyun with some humor. At this time, they had already walked out of Xiejie, but they looked at the policemen coming in and out of the bar from a distance, and a few people standing next to the Pajero. They probably wanted to drive the car today. It¡¯s impossible to leave. ¡°Let¡¯s go first. I¡¯ll find a way to get the car out later. " Zhao Xiaoyun looked at the Pajero in the distance and whispered. The two people quietly left along the shadow of the street, took a long detour, then followed the square to the street not far from the hotel, watching Du Yan looking at his Zhao Xiaoyun gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be so playful and smiling. " I don't know why, but in the eyes of others, Du Yan is sometimes a little too mature, but in Zhao Xiaoyun's eyes, he doesn't like it at all: "Don't think that we, we are just proud of you, telling you that you dare to touch me again later. I'll kill you with one shot. " "Are you going to kill me now? "Perhaps because of Zhao Xiaoyun's provocation, Du Yan suddenly leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek. Looking at Zhao Xiaoyun who was stunned at first and then furious, Du Yan couldn't help laughing. "Isn't this the little secretary from Pingling? If something happened to him, why did he come to Tongyang? "In a passing car, a young woman looked at the two people chasing each other on the street and thought to herself, "They are either reading pornographic magazines or fooling around with women. It's not a good thing at first glance. " Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Xingxing" Chapter 34 Chapter 33 Ambiguous words on a long winter night Zhao Xiaoyun failed to rush back to Qifengshan. The Pajero had been detained by Tongyang police, and there was no bus to Qifengshan at such a late hour. Although Zhao Xiaoyun also thought about calling someone else, after hesitating for a long time, she The call still hasn't been made. Looking at Zhao Xiaoyun standing at the front desk who had changed his clean and tidy style and hesitated, Du Yan was a little helpless. He knew that Zhao Xiaoyun was actually just being suspicious. Even if he called Qifengshan or someone Zhao Xiaoyun knew at this time, It's unlikely that anyone would think that something must have happened because the two of them were together so late. But Zhao Xiaoyun obviously had a guilty conscience. She thought about it again and again while holding the phone, and finally put down the phone and looked back at Du Yan with a look that seemed angry. Du Yan naturally knew that Zhao Xiaoyun was trying to find a way out for her, but considering that it had something to do with him, Du Yan was not unfaithful enough to eat up and drink all the food without admitting it. "Then stay here now and think of a solution tomorrow." Du Yan whispered. Seeing a look of vigilance immediately appear on Zhao Xiaoyun's face, he immediately shook his head, "I didn't say let you live with me, you can do it yourself." "Get a room." Seeing that there was really no other way, and he really didn't want to disturb anyone, Zhao Xiaoyun had no choice but to take out his ID and open a room. When he saw her military ID, the two waiters at the front desk who were already waiting impatiently couldn't help but be startled. , and then his attitude became much better. By coincidence, Zhao Xiaoyun¡¯s room was on the same floor as Du Yan¡¯s family¡¯s room. When the elevator went up to the ninth floor, Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly pushed Du Yan hard and pressed the elevator button. ¡°You go back to your room first, I¡¯ll come back later.¡± Zhao Xiaoyun whispered when the elevator door closed. The graduate student stood at the elevator entrance with a bit of laughter. He never expected that this violent girl who was so skilled and frequently drew a gun would have such a shy side, but this also made his impression of Zhao Xiaoyun slightly change. ¡°If the ambiguity between the two of them before was purely due to accidents, now Du Yan feels that Zhao Xiaoyun also has a cute side. However, Du Yan did not listen to Zhao Xiaoyun's instructions. When he came out of the elevator and saw him standing at the door of his room, Zhao Xiaoyun's expression changed first, then he hurried to the door, opened the door with the key and immediately dragged Du Yan away. Yan entered the room. The layout of this room is not much different from Du Yan's. The only difference is that there is one less single room. Seeing Zhao Xiaoyun who was struggling to persist and began to shake after entering the room, Du Yan sighed helplessly, walked over and took the hand from behind. He grabbed her waist and gently lifted her body up. "What are you doing, bastard?" Zhao Xiaoyun's hot face was already red, and the alcoholism that had been suppressed before came back again at this time. Although Du Yan drank half a glass for her, Zhao Xiaoyun was also very confident in his ability to drink. But how could the power of the added black flame be so easily overcome? "It's all your fault that I'm dizzy," Zhao Xiaoyun murmured to herself. Although she tried to wake herself up as much as possible, Du Yan hugged her and a wave of sleepiness immediately came over her. "Hey, Qiao Luowei is unlucky to have you, a little drunk cat, to protect you." Du Yan looked helpless when he saw Zhao Xiaoyun, who was completely nestled in his arms, even rubbing his head on his shoulder. Although Zhao Xiaoyun was probably With her poor physical condition, she should be fine tomorrow after a good sleep, but leaving a young girl like her alone in a hotel room, she couldn't rest assured. Although he has seen what Zhao Xiaoyun is capable of, the current Zhao Xiaoyun is completely fortified. Perhaps it was uncomfortable to sit like this all the time, so Zhao Xiaoyun turned to the side, her head tilted outward from Du Yan's arms, her unusually plump and healthy upper body couldn't help but straighten up, and her dazzling huge breasts immediately appeared in front of Du Yan's eyes. . Du Yan felt that the heat that Zhao Xiaoyun had unintentionally provoked in the alley was burning in his body again. At this time, he was really wondering what was in this girl's mind. Facing a man like him, she He was still able to sleep. "Bastard, gangster" Zhao Xiaoyun uttered a string of curses. It seemed that she was teaching Du Yan a lesson in her dream, but she didn't know that she was like this now, which really made Du Yan want to treat him as a gangster. impulse. Du Yan smiled bitterly and put Zhao Xiaoyun, who was still unfaithful in his dream, on the bed. He hesitated and took off the lambskin coat for her. However, although he saw that she was still sleeping uncomfortably, he did not continue to take it off. The rest of the clothes, after all, looking at this body that looked extremely tempting just wrapped in a black elastic shirt and elastic pants, Du Yan didn't know if he would be able to bear it if he really took off her clothes. "If something really happened, with Zhao Xiaoyun's temper, he would probably?Let him enjoy the glory of being the last father-in-law of this century. Du Yan sat on the edge of the bed and tilted his head to look at the sleeping Zhao Xiaoyun. He never thought that something would happen between him and this ordinary-looking girl with a bad temper. But things were so subtle, and no one happened between them. A little secret that I don¡¯t want to reveal to outsiders. With this thought in mind, Du Yan felt relieved when he walked to the table and saw that the old-fashioned telephone installed without the number display function was installed. He dialed room 922. As soon as it rang twice, the phone was picked up. "Brother?" "Xiao Fei hasn't slept yet?" Du Yan lowered his voice, "I have something to do with Zhao Xiaoyun. I won't go back tonight. I will rush back tomorrow morning and tell my parents not to worry." Telephone There was no sound from the other side, and just when Du Yan thought the call was disconnected, Du Fei spoke: "I understand, brother, be careful yourself." "Okay, you go to bed early, I will be back tomorrow morning, if It's okay, we can go home tomorrow afternoon," Du Yan said to his sister with a smile. "Brother, you" Du Fei's tone seemed slightly hesitant, and then she whispered again, "Come back early." After saying that, busy signals came from the microphone. Du Yan put down the phone, walked to the wall and turned off the headlight, but turned on the bedside table lamp. He didn't know why he did this. Maybe in his heart he was worried that the darkness would induce the inexplicable impulse in his heart. Looking at Zhao Xiaoyun curled up like a kitten, Du Yan finally couldn't hold it back, lowered his head and kissed her soft and warm lips gently: "Sleep well, girl." After saying that, he pulled the quilt and covered her with it. The two of them leaned against the bed and closed their eyes. Zhao Xiaoyun woke up because of thirst. She licked her dry lips and looked toward the light in confusion. When she saw herself and Du Yan lying on the bed, she was in a daze at first, and then opened the door violently. Quilt! Seeing that both of them were still wearing clothes, Zhao Xiaoyun let out a breath, but when she saw Du Yan, who had not slept much, turned his head to look over, Zhao Xiaoyun first quickly turned her head away, and then turned her whole body to face her. Written by Du Yan. Looking at the back of his side lying on the bed, which looked more mountainous, Du Yan felt that he might have been poisoned by Zhao Xiaoyun, and he actually had thoughts about such a woman with a plain appearance and a bad temper. But seeing her back turned to him, Even though it was very cold, he remained still and refused to share the same quilt. Du Yan felt distressed for no reason. "You go to sleep, I'll get up and sit down for a while." Du Yan got up from the bed. He looked at his watch and saw that it was less than two o'clock. He couldn't help but have a headache on how to spend this long night. "Go back to your room. I can take care of myself." Although Zhao Xiaoyun did not turn around, his voice became less forceful. "But you are not allowed to tell others what happened today." "I know, I won't. It's embarrassing for you." Du Yan smiled bitterly, but there was a hint of resentment in his tone that even he himself was not aware of. Who is Zhao Xiaoyun? She is the sister of Zhao Youxun, a second lieutenant officer in the army. Although Zhao Youxun is not very conspicuous now, he is a lieutenant colonel at a young age. More importantly, he seems to have a close relationship with the Song family. From this point of view, he will be able to stand out in the military in the future. Promotion to a high-ranking general is also uncertain. As for Zhao Xiaoyun's own relationship with the Song family and Qiao Luowei, it can be seen that it is definitely not as simple as a bodyguard. From this perspective, it is not incomprehensible that Zhao Xiaoyun is afraid of affecting his reputation because of today's incident. . As if he heard the strangeness in Du Yan's tone, Zhao Xiaoyun turned around, rested his elbows on the bed, and looked at him silently with a strange expression. After a while, Zhao Xiaoyun said: "Mr. Qiao has arranged a temporary new job for you, and I may notify you tomorrow." "Is it a consolation prize?" Du Yan was happy, and he would give it to the Song family in the end. He could imagine that if he made a small compensation, as Qiao Luowei said, if the Song family tried to cross the river and burn bridges against him, it would really chill the hearts of a group of people. However, despite the truth, Du Yan also knows that for those who stand at the top of power, it is only natural that those below make sacrifices for them. Many of them will not feel even a trace of guilt for such things. Not even bothering to think about the thoughts of those who were sacrificed. Qiao Luowei, or Song Jiayi, if they can do this, they have done a good job for themselves. But, this is definitely not what Du Yan wants! "Whatever you think, whether it's for comfort or compensation, you'll know when the time comes." Zhao Xiaoyun climbed down when she was a little tired, but she didn't know that this would make the curves under her waist appear even more Obviously, and a pair of hair that are slender and straighter than other women??It extends straight from under the curve to the edge of the bed, giving people a shocking visual impact. Du Yan turned his head slightly to avoid Zhao Xiaoyun's devilish masterpiece. Just as he was wondering what kind of job changes he would face, Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly asked curiously: "Why do you want to be an official?" "Why do you want to be an official?" Du Yan asked back and then smiled. He knew that although Zhao Xiaoyun's family was not as good as the Song family, they probably still had status in the military. So even though she followed Qiao Luowei to the countryside, after all, she was not the same as ordinary people. There are great gaps in people's lives. "Do you know what being a village head or town mayor means to an ordinary farmer?" Seeing Zhao Xiaoyun nod at first, and then look at him with a confused look, Du Yan sighed softly. "Perhaps in your eyes, a township cadre is really nothing, but in the eyes of a farmer, a township head or town mayor can decide his fate, even life and death." Du Yan stood up and walked to the bedside, Except for some lights on May Day Square, it was completely dark outside. "I decided to become an official in order to change some people and things. Even if I tell you this, you won't understand it. But that was my previous thought. Now I just want to do something, something practical! It's not the kind of decision that is made just by patting my head or something. I did it just to show off to my superiors, but it was a real thing. If I can be a bigger official in the future, I will do more and bigger things. This is not only for others, but also for myself.¡± Do you still want to be a bigger official? Are you addicted to officialdom?" Zhao Xiaoyun sat up and looked at Du Yan's back. She didn't expect anyone to admit that she wanted to be a senior official. His career is written all over his face, but he still says he is a hypocrite who "does not strive for fame or fortune, but serves the people." "Being a high official and doing big things are not contradictory. I use my political achievements to earn a future for myself, and I use my future to ensure that the things I do can be implemented. Isn't this good?" Du Yan turned to Zhao Xiaoyun and smiled, "No matter what I do in the future, No matter where I go, I will remember this sentence. It seems that many people are keen on official careers but ultimately fail because they cannot understand the relationship between these two things. " Zhao Xiaoyun curled his lips secretly, but immediately took a peek at Du Yan and said, As if afraid of being seen by him. But as soon as this thought that made her feel strange came to her mind, she was suddenly startled by Du Yan walking towards the bedside. "What are you going to do?!" Zhao Xiaoyun entered the alert state. Du Yan carefully took a step back. He didn't want to be kicked by this girl and broke his jaw. "We can't do this. I'll just lean on my quilt on the chair and wait until dawn." Hearing Du Yan After saying this, Zhao Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief at first, and even felt a slight touch in her heart. But then she suddenly glared and asked in an almost cannibal tone: "There are obviously two quilts, so why did you just say that?" Do you want to sleep with me?!" Du Yan was really stunned for a moment when he was asked. Only then did he realize that maybe in his heart he wanted to sleep with Zhao Xiaoyun, so what he did just now was completely Just without even thinking about it! "Rogue!" Zhao Xiaoyun cursed fiercely, but then his face turned red and he lay on the bed with his back to Du Yan, pulling the quilt over him. Du Yan helplessly looked at Zhao Xiaoyun who no longer paid attention to him. The inexplicable resentment he had towards her before was because his reasoning failed. He sat in a chair and pulled another quilt to cover himself, because Exhausted, he soon fell asleep. Du Yan woke up again when he was woken up by Zhao Xiaoyun. When he saw Zhao Xiaoyun coming out of the bathroom and tidying up, he looked at the still dark sky outside. He looked at his watch and said, "It's only five o'clock." " I'm leaving now," Zhao Xiaoyun stood at the door and said to Du Yan. Her eyes were different from yesterday. When she said leaving, her eyes looked away slightly. "Don't worry about what happened last night. Qian Zhicheng has such a character. Sooner or later, my son will cry. " "Xiaoyun, do you remember what the two policemen heard about the female students from Tongda University yesterday?" Du Yan suddenly remembered the words he heard before and reminded Zhao Xiaoyun, "You can let him. "You want to bring down Qian Zhicheng?" Zhao Xiaoyun glanced at Du Yan, "He is the district chief of Tongyang Xiange District. I heard that he will be promoted to district committee secretary in the second half of this year." "The mayor of Tongyang City, Han Jiaqi, was transferred along with Governor Yang, right?" Du Yan suddenly asked confusedly. Zhao Xiaoyun nodded after hearing this, and then she looked at Du Yan as if she suddenly understood something. "You want to provoke Han Jiaqi and Zhang Sheng to fight each other?" Zhao Xiaoyun looked at Du Yan with some surprise. The Zhang Sheng she was talking about was the Hexi Provincial Standing Committee, Deputy Secretary, and Tongyang Municipal Party Committee Secretary. The mayor of Tongyang, Han Jiaqi, was specially transferred to Tongyang as the mayor by the Yang family in order to help Yang Weiquan. ?But these relationships were secondary. What Zhao Xiaoyun didn't understand was that she didn't understand how Du Yan knew that provoking a conflict between Han Jiaqi and Zhang Sheng would have a great effect, even though many people knew that Qian Zhicheng was the municipal party committee member. Secretary Zhang Sheng, but how did he know that once he got the handle, Han Jiaqi would definitely take the opportunity to attack Qian Zhicheng? Seeming to see the confusion in Zhao Xiaoyun's eyes, Du Yan hesitated for a moment and decided to reveal a little bit of what he knew, but of course he had to be more careful. "I heard that the relationship between Zhang Sheng and Governor Yang is not very good, and he doesn't seem to be on the same page with Director Shi of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department, right?" When mentioning Minister Shi, Du Yan noticed that Zhao Xiaoyun seemed to be For a moment, this made him even more certain that the Director of History of the Provincial Organization Department who had parachuted down from the Central Committee was the person arranged by the Song family! "It seems that you really like being an official." Zhao Xiaoyun raised his toes slightly, making his already tall figure appear to be almost as tall as Du Yan. "You know very well about this. Du Yan just smiled slightly. Of course he would not tell Zhao Xiaoyun. The relationship between the top leaders of Hexi Province that he mentioned was actually known to everyone in later generations, and he would not tell Zhao Xiaoyun. , it was Zhang Sheng, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Hexi Province, who played a major role in later attacking Yang Weiquan's official career. And now, due to an accidental conflict with Qian Xiaocheng, Du Yan saw an opportunity to regain his original defeat! "Go back and tell Mr. Qiao that the more excitement there is with Governor Yang, the better it will be for her." Du Yan raised his hand to help Zhao Xiaoyun straighten the slightly messy short hair on his collar. "If Governor Yang's path is too smooth, maybe it will be better for her." We don¡¯t need the Song family¡¯s help so much.¡± Zhao Xiaoyun looked at Du Yan in astonishment. She didn¡¯t expect that Du Yan would not forget to play tricks at this time. Although he was about to blurt out the words ¡°little bureaucrat¡±, the words came to his lips. It turned into: "Be careful these two days, Qian Xiaocheng will definitely not be willing to give in." "I know, I will not go out in the hotel, waiting for Mr. Qiao to assign me to some nook and cranny." Du Yan joked , seeing Zhao Xiaoyun puffing up his chest in annoyance when he heard him say "bad words" to Qiao Luowei, Du Yan suddenly leaned forward and kissed Zhao Xiaoyun hastily on the face, just like the night before, and then opened the room before Zhao Xiaoyun could get angry. "Okay, don't say bad things about your Mr. Qiao, let's go." Zhao Xiaoyun immediately looked outside, not forgetting to take a few more glances in the direction of Du Yan's room, and then she walked quickly to the elevator. Watching Zhao Xiaoyun enter the elevator, Du Yan also closed the door and walked to his room. When he thought about it, because it was still early, his family probably hadn't gotten up yet, but what he didn't expect was that after he opened the door with the key and walked in, he was surprised to see Du Fei sitting on the sofa in a daze. "Xiao Fei, are you up so early?" Du Yan asked a little strangely, but seeing Du Fei's slightly haggard face, he immediately realized that Du Fei must not have slept at all. "Brother, are you back? Have you finished your work?" Du Fei turned to look at Du Yan. She looked strange and hesitated to speak, but she still said nothing and turned around to walk towards the private room. Du Yan looked at his sister's back strangely, then his eyes accidentally glanced at the table, and he couldn't help being stunned immediately! On the table, there seems to be a new phone with caller ID function. Although they are on the same floor, Zhao Xiaoyun lives in a common room, so the equipment in the room is naturally of ordinary standards; while she has booked a superior room for the Du family, and even the phone is superior! For the first time, Du Yan felt "dissatisfied" with Zhao Xiaoyun's excessive hospitality to his family! Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Nova" Chapter 35 Chapter 34 Red and Black In the senior ward of the Xiange District People's Hospital, Qian Xiaocheng's legs were tied up like a big rice dumpling and half-suspended in the air by brackets. Seeing her son's nose and face swollen after being beaten, and then seeing the left leg that was said to have been broken, Qian Xiaocheng's mother couldn't help but cry again. While she was crying, she cursed those who beat the people to death. , which made Lao Cai, the director of the Xiange District Bureau, who was standing beside the hospital bed, a little embarrassed. "Okay! Take good care of your son! This is also a lesson for him to be more honest in the future." Qian Zhicheng scolded his wife in a low voice, and then he turned around. Although his face was still downcast, he still said to Lao Cai He said rather politely, "Director Cai, I'm sorry to trouble you. I hope the district bureau can handle this case as soon as possible." "District Chief Qian, Xiao Cheng was injured by the gangster. This is our district bureau's dereliction of duty. Don't worry, we will catch it as soon as possible." "The murderer, I will give you a satisfactory explanation." Lao Cai said respectfully. He had a headache when he heard that Qian Xiaocheng was beaten before, but when he thought about it, he felt that this was a rare match for Qian Zhicheng. A great opportunity to have a deeper relationship. Rumors that Qian Zhicheng will soon take over the position of Secretary of the Xiange District Party Committee have already spread throughout Tongyang. As the right-hand man of Tongyang Municipal Party Committee Secretary Zhang Sheng, Qian Zhicheng can serve as the head of Xiange District during his tenure. It is said that he is following Zhang Sheng's footsteps, and this promotion to district party secretary is naturally regarded as a precursor to his subsequent entry into the Tongyang Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. For such a boss who had a prosperous official career, although Lao Cai had always wanted to please him, he had no chance. Now that Qian Xiaocheng was beaten, he naturally seized the opportunity and immediately joined in. If you think about it carefully, Lao Cai is even a little grateful to those who made money. "It's not to satisfy me, it's to satisfy the people." Qian Zhicheng's voice was calm, but there was a cold air in his voice. "In our Tongyang, in a downtown area like Wuyi Square, something happened. The bad incident of gangsters openly gathering to beat people, Lao Cai, this is a dereliction of duty by all of us!" Qian Zhicheng said in a more serious tone at the end, "If such an incident is heard by the municipal party committee or even the provincial party committee and the provincial government, it will be harmful to us in Xiange District. How bad is the impact on your district bureau? Lao Cai, if this matter is to be handled, it must be done thoroughly." Looking at Qian Zhicheng's seemingly calm expression, there is actually a hint of murderous intent. Looking at his eyes, Lao Cai nodded first, and then couldn't help but feel secretly frightened. He knew that Qian Zhicheng actually hated the person who injured his son. No matter what happened, he was determined to take the matter to death. "Don't worry, District Chief Qian, we will definitely give the people a satisfactory answer." Lao Cai immediately followed Qian Zhicheng's words and made a guarantee. He did not feel any uneasy conscience, even those who made money He doesn't care if people are completely reasonable. For him, satisfying the future Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and District Party Committee Secretary is his current goal. Watching Lao Cai leave, Qian Zhicheng turned around with a gloomy look and looked at his son who was lying on the bed moaning and said: "This is to teach you a lesson to let you know how powerful you are. If you cause trouble for me in the future, I will do it without anyone else." Just break your other leg!" "Why are you scaring the child?" Qian Zhicheng's wife walked around the hospital bed angrily and yelled at her husband, "Xiao Cheng is usually so honest, but he has been beaten like this, you are so stupid. Why do you want to vent your anger on your child and scare him? He is not your son? " "You are a good son who is always trying to cause trouble for me outside. Do you know what time it is now?" Cheng reprimanded his wife in a low voice, "Do you know how many people are staring at me now? Do you think I will be more prestigious now that I am the secretary of the district committee, don't you? Let me tell you, if you two don't want me to be unlucky, just Be honest with me!" He turned back to Qian Xiaocheng and said, "Explain to me who else is in the bar you are talking about, except those customers." "It's that bitch." Qian Xiaocheng gritted his teeth when he thought of the drunken female student who had drunk him before and said angrily. Seeing his father's gloomy face, he calmed down a little, "That girl seems to be a student of Tong University. Dad, the police have been looking for her." "What?" "Don't worry about this," Qian Zhicheng said after thinking for a while and then ordered, "Just stay in the hospital to recuperate during this period, and when you are ready, go to your uncle's house in Linchi for a while." "What are you doing?" Drive the kids away?" Qian Zhicheng's wife muttered reluctantly. "It's for his own good to drive him away." Qian Zhicheng glared at his wife. "You know, the two people who beat Xiao Cheng drove a car that was hung under the army. I asked people from the Transportation Bureau and they checked I can¡¯t tell you the specific company that the car is affiliated with. ¡°Could it be a branded car? I know a lot of people who drive branded cars.¡± Qian Xiaocheng asked. "Is it true that the traffic bureau still can't detect the fake car? It seems that those two people are not simple either. Please be more honest with me recently." Qian ?Cheng ordered his son with a gloomy expression, and then walked out of the ward after a few more instructions. Seeing Qian Zhicheng coming out, the secretary who was walking from the duty room on the other side of the corridor immediately came up to him: "District Chief, I just received a call from the municipal party committee. Secretary Zhang wants to see you." "Well, go to the municipal party committee." Qian Zhi Cheng said something solemnly and walked forward. Looking at his boss's ugly face, the secretary couldn't help but follow behind cautiously. The Tongyang Municipal Party Committee is located on Fenghuangtai Street, Fucheng District, Tongyang. The name Fenghuangtai is derived from the Phoenix Nirvana Platform built in the Tang Dynasty for eminent monks to preach the Dharma. The Tongyang Municipal Party Committee building is located not far from the Fenghuangtai Street, which is designated as a national first-level protected cultural relic. Not far from the Phoenix Nirvana Terrace site is No. 39 Fenghuang Terrace Street, and not far from the Phoenix Terrace, a few hundred meters away is the Tongyang Municipal Government Building. These two buildings with very different shapes face each other far away. The Municipal Party Committee Building, which inherits the traditional construction style, looks so solemn and solemn, while the City Government Building with a novel shape has a strong visual impact of new era elements. These two buildings are exactly like Now their two owners are the same, with very different personalities that are difficult to reconcile. Whether it is to check and balance power, or to form cliques to compete for power, disagreements between the top and second leaders of the team have almost become a common phenomenon in domestic officialdom. However, it has long been a long time to seek development in struggle and persist in struggle in development. The dialectics of officialdom has been personally verified by leaders, and a leadership team that is too united and harmonious is something that superiors are not willing to see at any time. The relationship between the first and second leaders in Tongyang is like two buildings with very different shapes. They don't match each other on the outside, and they are completely different on the inside. Although it is not to the point of incompatibility, at least everyone in Tongyang's official circles knows it. , Secretary Zhang and Mayor Han were two different people from the beginning. As a typical young man, Han Jiaqi served as the mayor of a provincial capital city in his early forties. This is an anomaly in a country that pays attention to seniority! Although there are some rumors that he, as mayor, is simply a thug to support Yang Weiquan, the executive vice governor who came to Hexi Province more than a year ago, several things Han Jiaqi did after taking office are very impressive. People were impressed. However, although Han Jiaqi is coming fiercely, Zhang Sheng, secretary of the Tongyang Municipal Party Committee, is firmly seated in Diaoyutai. His strong background as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee and Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee gives Zhang Sheng an almost detached status and attitude on the Standing Committee. Whenever the Standing Committee When there are differences of opinion at the meeting, people's attention will eventually focus on Zhang Sheng, who sits at the end of the table and never speaks easily. Every time at this time, Han Jiaqi would feel an indescribable feeling of powerlessness. He knew that although he was far inferior to Zhang Sheng in terms of qualifications and experience, he had never felt inferior because of this. But when he thought of Zhang Sheng, the provincial party committee As a member of the Standing Committee and Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Han Jiaqi felt powerless as though he was Sun Wukong, but Zhang Sheng was the Tathagata Buddha that he could not escape from the palm of his hand. A few months ago, at a secretary's office meeting, Zhang Sheng mentioned that with the gradual development trend of Xiange District in Tongyang City, both in the economic field and in the political landscape, consideration should be given to letting the Xiange District Party Committee Secretary continue as usual. Han Jiaqi had a sense of crisis that he was about to be surrounded by invisible shackles around his neck. According to the original arrangement, the current Secretary of the Xiange District Committee will be transferred to another prefecture-level city after the Chinese New Year. In this case, the so-called appointment of the Secretary of the Xiange District Committee to the Municipal Committee Standing Committee is just Zhang Sheng paving the way for Qian Zhicheng to take over. However, Although he clearly knew this fact, Han Jiaqi could not stop it. Whether it was because the current status of Xiange District was indeed enough for its district committee secretary to join the Standing Committee, or because he could not offend the current secretary in order to prevent Qian Zhicheng from entering the Standing Committee. Even Han Jiaqi couldn't say that he was implicitly mentioning half a rank before being transferred. After all, hindering people's progress will lead to hatred. Therefore, when Han Jiaqi heard the news from his secretary that the Xiange District Bureau suddenly mobilized in large numbers in the middle of the night the night before, he took it seriously and asked his secretary to inquire in detail about what happened in Xiange District last night. The news he heard made Han Jiaqi both interested and excited. Although he didn't know why Qian Xiaocheng was beaten, Han Jiaqi immediately ordered his secretary to pay close attention to this matter. In official circles, it may be a trivial matter in many cases. A small thing may eventually become a lever to move a giant Buddha. Although Han Jiaqi thought so, he didn't hold out much hope in this matter. Xiange District was originally Zhang Sheng's old team, and they had always followed Zhang Sheng's side from top to bottom. Although Han Jiaqi has been in Tongyang for more than half a year, and other places are fine, he can't get in or direct the Xiange District. So when he thought of this, Han Jiaqi's thoughts on the matter became a little lighter. However, when he received a call at noon, he suddenly realized that maybe the incident the night before was not that simple. Qian Xiaocheng was beaten,Apart from Qian Xiaocheng's mother, the one who was nervous was Director Zhao of the Wuyi Square Police Station. After hearing the news in the middle of the night, he was startled out of his warm bed. When he rushed to the bar called Scar, the first thing he did was to urgently order his men to control the people in the bar. Director Zhao knew Qian Xiaocheng's character very well, and even knew some things much better than Qian Zhicheng, his father, so when he saw the female student, he listened to the preface of the gang of gangsters under Qian Xiaocheng's hands. Without any explanation, you can roughly understand what happened. He had someone control the bartender in the name of collecting evidence. After hearing that the bar owner was out for business, he ordered the door of the bar to be sealed without explanation. As for the female student from Tongyang University who had not yet fully recovered from the panic, he asked someone to keep an eye on her first. As for the other guests, they wrote down their home addresses and places of work one by one. After a period of threats and intimidation, Director Zhao felt that the matter was generally settled, so he led them back to the police station with a look of resentment. The Wuyi Square Police Station is very high among police stations of the same level in the entire Tongyang City in terms of scale and ranking. Being the director of this station can be said to have a bright future. Just by being promoted from this station, you can go directly to the branch. There are only a few predecessors of the director, so Director Zhao does not want to let his predecessors be more beautiful. He really wants to perform well during his tenure and one day get a job as a branch director or something like that. Qian Xiaocheng was one of his ways to curry favor with him, but Director Zhao didn't expect that Qian Xiaocheng, who had always bullied men and dominated women, would be given a severe lesson by two stupid young men who came out of nowhere. When the people below said that Qian Xiaocheng's thigh was broken, Director Zhao couldn't help but sweat all over his body. He knew that if the perpetrator of the beating could not be caught immediately, he would not be able to sit on the director's chair, let alone the branch director. . So after returning to the police station, Director Zhao personally interrogated the people who were brought back from the bar. However, except for the bartender who said that he had only seen the woman and another female customer who had been there several times recently, that The female guest called her "Xiaoyun", but she knew nothing about the man or their origins. As for the female student from Tong University, after she gradually woke up, she immediately shouted that she wanted to report the case, saying that she wanted to sue Qian Xiaocheng for being a gangster. This was another troublesome matter. Director Zhao was a little embarrassed at first for these college students who had drunk university ink and obviously couldn't shut them up by simply dealing with ordinary people's intimidation and threats. Then he gritted his teeth and made up his mind. "What are you going to do when you're not at school in the middle of the night?" Director Zhao suddenly changed his expression and asked in a cold tone. Seeing the female student being stunned by this sudden question, he took advantage of it and suddenly He slapped the table and asked sternly: "Tell me, are you going to solicit customers? Are you prostitution?!" "You, you are talking nonsense!" The female student jumped up from the chair with a red face, but then she was stopped by a man standing next to her. The policewoman held on tight. "Let me tell you, this is a police station. No one who comes here is clean!" Director Zhao slapped the table again. "Be honest and tell me whether you are engaging in prostitution. Are those gangsters who are causing trouble and beating people up?" With you?" He looked at the registration status of female students on the table and smiled sinisterly. "College students are involved in prostitution. It seems that you need to contact your school." "You, You" The female student's lips kept trembling, and her eyes showed disbelief, anger, confusion, and despair. She never expected that the previously pleasant Director Zhao suddenly changed his face, let alone did anything. Being the victim suddenly turned into prostitution. She looked at Director Zhao with a ruthless face across the table in disbelief, as if he was a vicious wolf that would pounce on him and tear his throat out at any moment. After a while, she seemed to understand something: "That person, who did they say he is?" You, the district chief¡¯s son, are you trying to frame me because he is the district chief¡¯s son?¡± Seeing that the female student seemed to have understood, Director Zhao secretly frowned. This college student is different from ordinary people with no education. That's cool, thinking to himself, Director Zhao slowly lit up a cigarette, took a puff, and exhaled a large cloud of smoke: "Now that you understand, I don't need to talk nonsense. You can record your confession according to the instructions we arranged." It¡¯s not difficult for you, otherwise you know the consequences yourself, and I¡¯m not afraid to tell you directly. It¡¯s useless even if you¡¯re still a young girl going for a gynecological examination. It will still make you so notorious that you can¡¯t be a good person in school. You can figure it out yourself. "Are you still human?" The female student screamed. She struggled to stand up but was held down again. "You are not the police! You are just bandits!" "Stop talking nonsense, do as I say." It's none of your business to take a confession. If you don't let your bad reputation spread everywhere, let alone go to school, your life will be over!" Director Zhao completely tore off the last disguise and ordered the people next to him.The policewoman "made a record for her, and then asked her to sign and put her thumbprint." After saying that, he walked out of the room. He said that he had not slept all night and felt that it was too much. He wanted to find the two policemen who rushed to the Scar Bar after receiving the call. They asked the police in detail about the two young men and women they were chasing, but they couldn't find out their whereabouts anywhere. They might be hiding somewhere and taking a nap at this time. Originally, he wanted to find a place to relax for a while, but then the news brought by his subordinates made Director Zhao suspicious. There was no news about the two perpetrators, but the Pajero left at the door of the bar was very strange. Unexpectedly, the traffic control bureau did not check the details. This made Director Zhao feel a little stunned. When he first heard from the Traffic Management Bureau that the Pajero was attached to a unit under the military region, Director Zhao, like Qian Xiaocheng, thought it might be a company affiliated with the army. Although this gave him a little pleasure, he didn't care much. After all, in recent years, as some local units of the army have entered the economic field, some small companies have listed their cars under the name of military units for the sake of convenience. , has become a trend. But when he heard that the traffic control bureau had not found out the true details of the Pajero, Director Zhao couldn't help but feel unsure. Of course, like Qian Xiaocheng, he would not think that it was a black car with a fake license plate, but immediately thought , maybe the other party really has some background. Thinking this way, Director Zhao was wandering in his mind. Tongyang is different from other places. It is the seat of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government. Even if it is not as densely populated with high-ranking officials as in the capital, there is a saying that if you throw a brick and hit ten, nine of them will be division chiefs, but it is not too different. So after hesitating for a moment, he turned around and walked towards the interrogation room. At the same time, he was thinking that since the branch office already knew about this matter, he should talk lightly with Director Cai again to see what Director Cai's attitude was. However, as soon as he turned around the corridor, he suddenly saw several figures appearing at the door. Seeing those people, Director Zhao was stunned for a moment and then hurried forward to greet them. "Director Jiang, why did you come here suddenly without notifying us? We are not prepared at all." Director Zhao first saluted politely, and then stretched out his hands to shake hands with a police officer who came over. But what Director Zhao didn't expect was that Jiang Ju, who was always friendly with him because of Lao Cai's close confidant, this time was not showing any pretense towards him, and even vaguely expressed his affection for him when he saw his extended hand. He leaned back, as if he was afraid of having anything to do with him, which made Director Zhao, who was good at observing words and emotions, feel a sinking heart. "Zhao Aiguo, this is Section Chief Yan of the Provincial Police Inspectorate," Bureau Jiang said with a serious face, "Because there are some situations that require your cooperation in the investigation. Now you can simply hand over the work to the station, and then listen to Section Yan." "Provincial Department?" A look of surprise flashed across Zhao Aiguo's face. Of course he knew that Director Jiang could not joke about this, but he did not expect that someone from the Provincial Department would suddenly find his head. Is that what happened? A thought flashed through Zhao Aiguo's mind quickly, but when he saw that the behavior of these people was too much like what he had feared, he immediately calmed down and glanced at Section Chief Yan first, then turned back to the one who had followed him. The deputy director gave a brief explanation and walked out of the police station with those people who were said to be from the provincial department. The news that Zhao Aiguo was taken away by people from the provincial department immediately spread in the police station. When people heard that the person who came with the people from the provincial department was Deputy Director Jiang of the branch, who was said to have a delicate relationship with Director Cai, they were even more excited. Rumors were flying all over the sky, and for a while, the search for the murderer who hit the bar was slowed down. At the Wuyi Square Police Station, a family of policemen and robbers were involved in a drama, and Tongyang Municipal Party Committee Secretary Zhang Sheng was reprimanding Qian Zhicheng for his lax discipline because he heard something about Qian Xiaocheng. In a hotel not far from the Square Police Station, Du Yan was watching TV with his parents. The so-called "dark under the lamp" does have some truth. The policemen of Xiange District, who were searching everywhere and making a lot of noise, never thought that the "murderer" who beat Qian Xiaocheng lived not far from the Square Police Station. In a hotel far away. Watching the news about the Gulf War in full swing and the United Nations' famous strategic bombing campaign that lasted for more than 40 days, Du Yan was thinking about how many people in Tongyang City and even across the country were already aware of this. What if a more intense political storm, much faster than the Gulf War, is about to sweep over in the next six months? Thinking about this, Du Yan couldn't help but feel slightly in a trance, and he couldn't bear the two inquiring glances he had been receiving since the morning. From the phone number, Du Fei obviously found something, so she looked at Du Yan from time to time intentionally or unintentionally throughout the morning, but once Du Yan looked back, she immediately turned her head to avoid her brother's eyes. Long, thatThis appearance attracted Sang Shulan's attention. "Xiao Fei, come to the house with mom." Sang Shulan greeted her daughter. She didn't know what happened the night before, but Du Fei's appearance was obviously not normal, although she had thought about letting her children kiss her before. They wanted to get married, but later she saw what her son wanted and gave up the idea. But now it seems that Sang Shulan is a little worried again. After all, her children are already grown up. If there is an unseen reason for their mutual love. What happened? The old Du family was really embarrassed. Du Yan felt a little embarrassed when he saw his mother's expression. Although nothing serious happened with Zhao Xiaoyun, Du Fei knew something about it after all. If she was so dumbfounded and told what happened yesterday without knowing the importance of it, Then I don¡¯t know what my parents would think. Du Yan glared at Du Fei, who was standing up and making faces at him, but Du Fei didn't seem to care about his threat. Just when Du Yan was really helpless about the matter, there was a knock on the door. Ringed. Du Zhenhai was about to stand up but was stopped by Du Yan. He remembered Zhao Xiaoyun's previous instructions, but after a moment of hesitation, he walked over and opened the door. To Du Yan¡¯s surprise, the person standing at the door was not the policeman he had imagined coming after hearing the news, but a person who surprised him. "Hello, Mayor Du." A young man standing at the door who always seemed to have a smile on his face raised his arm slightly, but when he thought that he was wearing casual clothes, he immediately put it down. "Director Zhao asked me to come to you." Report here." "Sun Xiaopeng?" Du Yan looked at the smiling young soldier standing at the door. He felt at first that the arrival of this sergeant who was like a little leopard not only impressed him but also had a good impression. Unexpectedly, he immediately thought that this should be an arrangement made by Zhao Xiaoyun because he was worried about himself. After Sun Xiaopeng entered the room, he immediately stood at attention and saluted Du Zhenhai and introduced himself. This made Du Zhenhai and his wife a little confused for a while. Looking at this young man who was dressed in casual clothes but his demeanor showed that he was a soldier, Du Zhenhai and his wife couldn't help but think of that man at the same time. Mr. Qiao, who seems to have extraordinary origins and great powers. "Xiaopeng, when did you arrive?" Du Yan asked strangely as he handed over a glass of water. "Director Zhao called our team leader last night and left me the address here, so I drove here." Sun Xiaopeng took the cup and took a sip. It could be seen that he must have been very happy all the way here. Tired, but Sun Xiaopeng's next words made Du Yan worried, "I arrived in Tongyang in the early morning, but before coming to you, I met with Director Zhao and she did some research on some things. She asked me Let me tell you that the Provincial Public Security Department has received detailed clues about the female student you mentioned, and is now conducting an investigation. Please rest assured." Du Yan couldn't help but be startled when he heard Sun Xiaopeng's words. He didn't expect that he was sleeping last night. However, Zhao Xiaoyun has already done so many things, and he guessed from Sun Xiaopeng's words that Zhao Xiaoyun should have taken action immediately after leaving the hotel. If the provincial department had intervened as she said, then it is entirely possible that things would be as he thought before. That might be another great opportunity for you to start over! "Then Xiaopeng, why are you here again?" Du Yan asked curiously. Logically speaking, it should be the time for arm wrestling among the big guys above. It has nothing to do with him anymore. If Zhao Xiaoyun transferred Sun Xiaopeng from her brother to help her investigate the female students she heard mentioned by the two policemen before. So why did she ask Sun Xiaopeng to come to her again? "Actually, it was Mr. Qiao who asked me to come." Sun Xiaopeng suddenly scratched his head as if he was embarrassed, "She asked me to come to you when she heard about Qian Xiaocheng, saying that there was someone to take care of her nearby." Du Yan Nodding silently, of course Zhao Xiaoyun had to explain the whole ins and outs of such a big matter to Qiao Luowei. Although she thought she would not reveal the little secrets between her and herself, some of the details were necessary. Explain clearly to Qiao Luowei. After hearing these situations, Qiao Luowei immediately asked Sun Xiaopeng to come to the hotel to take care of him. This shows that Qiao Luowei is very aware of what kind of chain reaction this may cause. At this time, Tongyang City should be in a turmoil, and people from all walks of life are waiting for the opportunity, right? Du Yan was secretly amused. Who would have thought that a small fight would turn into the beginning of a collision between several forces that were already preparing to attack? Who would have thought that the person who stirred up such a big disturbance was just a man who had just left the country? A small town cadre who was freed from isolation and review by the Discipline Inspection Commission? Because Du Yan was deep in thought, Du Zhenhai and his wife had no idea what was going on, and Sun Xiaopeng would not speak casually. The room was lost in thought for a while, which made Du Fei, who originally wanted to deal with his mother's cross-examination, a little bored. She used her fingers toThe phone on her wife kept sliding, until a sudden reminder of the ringing of the phone startled her! Du Yan looked at it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. When he was about to pick it up, Sun Xiaopeng reached out and stopped him: "Mayor Du, let me pick it up." Sun Xiaopeng's actions made Du Zhenhai and his wife feel a little nervous. They didn't know what happened yesterday. Look. As Sun Xiaopeng picked up the phone and listened for a while, his relaxed expression turned serious. Du Zhenhai and his wife couldn't help but look at each other, and then looked at their son worriedly. Sun Xiaopeng handed the phone to Du Yan, whispered "Director Zhao" and walked to the door. Du Yan looked at Sun Xiaopeng's behavior strangely. As soon as he put the receiver to his ear and said "hello", Zhao Xiaoyun's slightly urgent voice came from the receiver: "Du Yan, be careful, that Zhao Aiguo is running away." "Come out!" "Zhao Aiguo?" Du Yan couldn't help but asked, "Who is it?" "It's the police station director who was said to have solved a problem for a female student last night," Zhao Xiaoyun continued after sorting out his thoughts. I started investigating after I left the hotel today, and it has been confirmed that Zhao Aiguo helped Qian Xiaocheng conceal his crimes. Originally, the provincial department only sent people to Zhao Aiguo to investigate the situation, but I don¡¯t know what happened. Zhao Aiguo suddenly came from the Provincial Department Supervision Office "Escaped, and I heard that he injured a policeman." "What?" Du Yan asked in shock. He was not surprised at all that Zhao Aiguo and Qian Xiaocheng were colluding, but he never expected that Zhao Aiguo would do this. Such an unexpected move. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 36 Chapter 35 Transaction The news that Zhao Aiguo, the chief of the May Day Square Police Station, injured a staff member on duty at the Police Supervision Office of the Provincial Public Security Department and absconded in fear of crime while under investigation made the already delicate Tongyang officialdom feel like a sudden drop of water from a boiling oil pan. A drop of ice water entered! No one thought that this would happen. Even those who knew the inside story of the investigation of Qian Xiaocheng knew that the case might be serious, but they never expected that Zhao Patriotic Association would suddenly do such an extreme thing! For a time, not only the Xiange District Branch, but also the entire Tongyang Public Security Bureau fell into a state of tension. The most disturbing thing was that when Zhao Aiguo escaped, he not only mercilessly injured an inspector who was investigating him The police at the police station also took away his gun! This was really jaw-dropping news for everyone, so much so that Du Yan still didn't believe it after receiving Zhao Xiaoyun's call. He tried asking again, but couldn't get any more useful information from Zhao Xiaoyun. In fact, up to now So far, no one knows why Zhao Aiguo suddenly did this. When he first heard that Zhao Aiguo had been taken away by the Police Supervision Office, Qian Zhicheng was in the lounge of the Municipal Party Committee Building. Originally, Qian Zhicheng should still be talking to Zhang Sheng, secretary of the municipal party committee at this time, but because something seemed to have happened in Taihua City, Zhang Sheng was on the phone with a certain provincial party committee leader, so Qian Zhicheng had to go outside first. Waiting for a while in the office, he saw his secretary being called away by a staff member. Not long after, the secretary hurried back and reported in a low voice that Cai, the district bureau chief, had important information to report to him. Qian Zhicheng listened to Lao Cai on the phone saying that Zhao Aiguo was taken away by people from the Police Supervision Office, and his originally depressed face became even more ugly. He realized that this was obviously someone trying to use what happened the night before to go against him. However, the other party was not only well-informed and acted quickly, but also directly alerted the provincial department, which made Qian Zhicheng secretly frightened. He naturally thought that someone was going to use this opportunity to attack him, but at this time he had not thought how serious the problem would be. Although Zhang Sheng had severely punished his arrogant son in the office before, Qian Zhicheng had Relieved. Zhang Sheng disciplined him alone in the office, which in itself was a sign of being indifferent to him. Not to mention Tongyang, but looking at Hexi Province, how many people could make a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee or a deputy secretary scold him? What's more, although Zhang Sheng reprimanded him for not being able to manage his children, he still meant that Qian Xiaocheng was treated like a child. This also meant that he was keeping a secret. In this way, even if someone wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble in the future, There is also the idea among Zhang Sheng that he is making a fuss out of a molehill. So although Qian Zhicheng was a little surprised, he was not very nervous. He just wanted to report the situation to Zhang Sheng after the phone call between Zhang Sheng and the provincial party committee leader was completed. He believed that Zhang Sheng would be happy after hearing this. Will feel very angry. However, his wishful thinking came to nothing. Not long after he answered the phone, another shocking news came. Zhao Aiguo suddenly injured a police officer from the Supervision Department and escaped with a gun! When the secretary told Qian Zhicheng the news, Qian Zhicheng's face became extremely stiff for a while. He didn't understand what happened, let alone how things turned out like this. After hearing the news, his first reaction was "someone is setting him up"! He hurriedly walked to Zhang Sheng's office. Along the way, he saw that the atmosphere in the office building was slightly tense and the staff seemed more cautious. He knew that the news about Zhao Aiguo's escape with a gun must have spread. This made Qian Zhicheng even more uneasy. When he just walked outside Zhang Sheng's office, he suddenly saw Tongyang Public Security Bureau Director Fang Zhen and several people around him appearing from the opposite corridor, accompanied by Lao Jiang, deputy director of the district bureau. When the police arrived, Qian Zhicheng felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. The news that Qian Zhicheng, the mayor of Xiange District in Tongyang City, was taken away from the door of the office of Zhang Sheng, secretary of the Tongyang Municipal Party Committee, caused an uproar in the entire Tongyang officialdom and even the entire Hexi Province! People are really overwhelmed with the various versions of rumors about this incident. Some people say that Zhang Sheng, who heard the commotion outside, left the office and directly scolded the provincial and department investigators, but it still had no effect. Some people said that Zhang Sheng was He didn't come forward, but Zhang Sheng's secretary did come forward to mediate, but it had no effect. However, some people say that the provincial department staff only asked Qian Zhicheng about some relevant issues and then left. However, when talking about the people and things involved in these issues, this seemingly excusing Qian Zhicheng's rhetoric became It's pale and feeble. After all, a department-level cadre has something to do with a criminal who stole a gun and absconded. Just this kind of rumor is enough to arouse too many conjectures. As for why Zhao Aiguo snatched a gun and absconded, as the investigation deepened, an unbelievable truth emerged. Qian Xiaocheng, the son of Qian Zhicheng, the head of Xiange District, has been domineering all year round, while his father Qian Zhicheng used his power to cover up and manipulateEvidence of his son's illegal crimes emerged one by one with the investigation, and the most shocking one was that last summer Qian Xiaocheng pursued a girl from Tongyang University. After the other party repeatedly rejected her, Qian Xiaocheng behaved in a bestial manner. Dafa took advantage of the fact that he hijacked and raped the girl when she went out alone! After that incident, Zhao Aiguo, the director of the Wuyi Square Police Station, actively covered up the evidence for Qian Xiaocheng. According to what was said at the time, the girl had fallen into a complete coma due to a drug overdose when she was found. Although she was rescued later, However, due to excessive drug use, the nerve center was severely damaged, and a young girl in her prime became completely disabled. When the crime was confirmed, Qian Xiaocheng, who was recuperating in the hospital, faced the darkest moment in his life. When he saw Lao Jiang, the deputy director of the district bureau who had always smiled when he saw him, appearing at the door, he announced with a cold expression. When he was arrested, Qian Xiaocheng first cursed. When he found that everything was completely different from what he thought, he cried and wanted to see his father. But whether it was Qian Xiaocheng's crying and fussing, or his mother's behavior and rolling around, the policemen who had always flattered Qian Xiaocheng and nodded and bowed their heads no longer had a good look. Although they did not immediately call Qian Xiaocheng because of his fracture and injury. He was handcuffed, but after his arrest was announced, he was put on a stretcher and sent to a makeshift hospital ward with iron bars on the windows. When this incident first started, although people had realized that it was obviously aimed at Qian Zhicheng, because of the support of Tongyang Municipal Party Committee Secretary Zhang Sheng, people still thought that the problem should not be big, but when Qian Xiao After Cheng was officially arrested, people suddenly understood that this was definitely not just a simple attack on Qian Zhicheng, but perhaps there was a bigger purpose behind it. As the case was investigated, a result that surprised everyone came out - the real key issue why Zhao Aiguo chose to steal a gun and abscond was the drugs that the girl who was raped by Qian Xiaocheng was forced to take. ! During the investigation, the provincial department discovered that the drugs Zhao Aiguo gave the girl had unknown origins. With in-depth investigation, a major case in which the police were suspected of selling and organizing a drug gang completely shocked Hexi Province and even alarmed the police circles across the country! By this time, everyone knew that Qian Zhicheng was completely finished, not to mention taking over the position of district party committee secretary. As the case deepened, various evidence of his connivance and cover for his children's illegal crimes were exposed one after another, especially with Zhao Aiguo During the investigation of the case, people were surprised to find that Qian Xiaocheng had also been involved in a drug trafficking case. Although there was no evidence to prove that he was directly involved, various signs were enough to show that at least Qian Xiaocheng helped Zhao Aiguo escape time and time again. While he was in trouble, he also relied on his father's power many times to provide various conveniences for Zhao Aiguo's drug gang. Qian Zhicheng was really finished. He never thought that the person who ultimately caused him to be knocked down in one fell swoop was none other than his beloved son. When he heard about his son being involved in gang drug trafficking crimes, Qian Zhicheng, who had already been hit, suddenly became much older. He had been suspended for investigation at this time, but he could still maintain the minimum composure in front of others. But when he heard about his son, he was finally completely crushed. After much hesitation, one evening, Qian Zhicheng came to the Fanhu Community where the leaders of the Tongyang Municipal Party Committee lived and asked to see Zhang Sheng. However, it was different from the relaxed and casual way he came before. He was stopped by the guard outside the community and stood in the cold wind waiting. During that time, Qian Zhicheng felt an inexplicable sadness when he felt the eyes of those people who were also stopped outside by the guard with him. Zhang Sheng still met Qian Zhicheng, but Zhang Sheng just smiled lightly at his old wife's suggestion that "it's better not to meet her at this time." Looking at Qian Zhicheng, who was standing in the middle of the living room and almost didn't recognize him when he first came in, Zhang Sheng sighed softly. He had some feelings for this old subordinate who had been following him for many years. Zhang Sheng started in Xiange District in his early years. When he was the secretary of the district committee, Qian Zhicheng was just the director of the neighborhood committee office. Because of his good ability, he was valued by Zhang Sheng. It was a lot of hard work to follow Zhang Sheng all the way. "Zhicheng, you are responsible for Xiao Cheng's matter," Zhang Sheng said calmly, and then he added, "I am also responsible. I did not take this matter seriously and did not really urge you to take care of your children." "Secretary" Qian Zhicheng's nose felt sore after hearing Zhang Sheng's words. He was very grateful that Zhang Sheng was willing to see him at this time. "I know I was wrong, and I can accept the organization's treatment of me." , but Xiaocheng is young and ignorant after all. I heard that some people say that he sells drugs. Isn't this to treat the child to death? Secretary, I am here not to ask for anything else. I just ask you for the sake of following you for so many years. Come on, give Xiaocheng a fair word.??Don't say that the kid doesn't know about drugs. Even if he knew, he wouldn't have the guts. " "Stop talking about Zhicheng," Zhang Sheng raised his hand and stopped Qian Zhicheng. "This is a matter for the public security and judicial departments. It is not convenient for me to interfere. Besides, Zhicheng, you should also reflect on it. Why did Xiaocheng leave? Got to this point? I heard that he even forced a female college student to associate with him, and if she didn't agree, he would force her. What kind of behavior is this? Is he a bully from the old society or a gangster? ! " Zhang Sheng's tone became stern. Looking at Qian Zhicheng with a forlorn expression, he took a breath and sighed softly: "I remember Xiao Cheng was a good boy before. When did he become like this? We really have to ask ourselves, what impact has it had on our children¡¯s education? As for you Zhicheng, you should accept the investigation after you return and wait for the organization to handle it. Remember, stop asking people to find connections. It will not do any good to Xiao Cheng and can only make things worse. " Zhang Sheng's words completely disappointed Qian Zhicheng, who originally had some hope. Looking at Zhang Sheng who had already picked up the newspaper on the table, Qian Zhicheng stood up with a dull expression and said hello, and then slowly Turning around and walking out of Zhang Sheng's villa. Looking at Qian Zhicheng's back, Zhang Sheng took off his spectacles and rubbed the corners of his eyes, and said to his wife who entered the living room: "If he comes again, don't let him in again. " "I think it's unnecessary this time," Zhang Sheng's wife murmured in a low voice, slightly dissatisfied, "Look how much trouble their kid has caused you. I heard that the place next door is so lively these days that it's almost a bust. The threshold has been reached. Look at how deserted our family has been these past few days. When have we ever been like this? " Hearing his old wife say that the Han Jiaqi family living in Building No. 2 has been bustling with people these days, Zhang Sheng just smiled lightly: "You don't understand, you still have to meet when you should. "Speaking of this, Zhang Sheng leaned his head on the back of the thick sofa, looked at the ceiling above his head and sighed softly again, "Zhicheng has been working hard with me these years. He has worked hard even without credit. Can you help me at the end? Just help him, and it will be considered as my friendship with him. " On January 26, 1991, the Hexi Provincial Party Committee officially announced its decision to deal with Qian Zhicheng, removing Qian Zhicheng from his position as deputy secretary of the Xiange District Committee of Tongyang City. At the same time, the Hexi Provincial Government announced that Qian Zhicheng would be removed from his position. After so many days of turmoil, when everything settled, people suddenly discovered that with the money. Zhicheng dismounted sadly, and a series of new official transfers were about to begin in full swing. This made many people who thought they were qualified to compete seemed to have heard the clarion call to march. In an instant, the Tongyang officialdom was eager to try. While a new tragicomedy was being staged, far away in the Qifengshan Hotel, Du Yanzheng and Zhao Xiaoyun, who looked wary, stared at each other like a little white rabbit staring at a big bad wolf. " If you dare to act like this again, be careful I'll shoot you. You know I'm carrying a gun today. " Zhao Xiaoyun whispered threateningly to Du Yan, who was sitting not far in front. After entering the elevator just now, Du Yan, who was following behind, had the audacity to reach out and touch her waist, but as soon as he touched her Du Yan shivered at the hard thing on the back of his waist and immediately retracted his hand. "Let's talk about it when you don't carry a gun anymore," Du Yan winked at Zhao Xiaoyun, saying that he was not very beautiful, but he was. Du Yan really didn't know what he was thinking about a girl with amazing curves and a healthy body, and who had some kind of ambiguous relationship with him. During those few days in the hotel, whenever he thought of that magical night, he thought He couldn't help but have an impulse, and he imagined more than once, what would Zhao Xiaoyun do if he really insisted on continuing? "Does Mr. Qiao want to see me?" " "It's not Mr. Qiao," Zhao Xiaoyun said after hesitating for a moment. Although she repeatedly told herself that what happened that night never happened, but after seeing Du Yan, she realized that she could not forget what happened at that time. "It's Mr. Song who's here. " Du Yan nodded silently. Although he never thought that Zhao Xiaoyun would become his "spy" around Qiao Luowei, he might be very happy to hear some news in advance. After waiting for a while, Zhao Xiaoyun's eyes suddenly He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a tone that sounded casual: "I heard that you called your girlfriend? " Hearing Zhao Xiaoyun's question, Du Yan nodded inadvertently and then looked at her with a strange smile: "Are you jealous? " "Do I have anything to eat? Zhao Xiaoyun was a little angry, but then curled his lips slightly, "Just go to your girlfriend's mother. I think you will be in trouble in the future." " After listening to Zhao Xiaoyun's sarcastic remarks, Du Yan was speechless. He had to admit that he felt powerless every time he faced Su Qian, the best mother.He had never really cared about it in this life, but when he thought about having to get along with such a wonderful mother-in-law for the rest of his life, Du Yan felt really sad. "Your girlfriend is a nice person," Zhao Xiaoyun continued. She lowered her head slightly as if to avoid Du Yan's eyes. "She is a nice person. The main reason is that she is sincere to you. She doesn't care what others say about you. Don't let her down." "Have you seen her?" Du Yan suddenly remembered that Su Qian seemed to have heard the news that he was fine on the phone, so although she was still worried, she just told him to take care of herself, which Du Yan originally thought was true. News about him has reached Pingling, but now it seems that is not the case. "I went to Pingling a few days ago. I only know that Pingling is still investigating your matter. After all, there are some things that cannot be spread out. However, I know almost everything that needs to be known, so you are going back to Pingling now, I guess. No one dares to mess with you anymore." Zhao Xiaoyun glanced at Du Yan with a hint of pride, and then said calmly, "I met your girlfriend and told her about your situation in general, but I just said you Although everything is fine, I still need you to continue to help with the final proof work." Zhao Xiaoyun looked at Du Yan seriously after saying this. "She was very happy after hearing this. If she hadn't been in front of me, an outsider, she might have cried. , Don¡¯t let her down.¡± Hearing Zhao Xiaoyun¡¯s words, Du Yan couldn¡¯t help but feel an inexplicable guilt in his heart. He knew that although nothing happened between him and Zhao Xiaoyun, he did do something sorry for Su Qian. It was alcohol, but did I really not have any intention of having anything happen to Zhao Xiaoyun at that time? Then why did you kiss Zhao Xiaoyun twice in the hotel? The two people couldn't help but become silent for a while, and the ambiguity between the two seemed to gradually fade with this topic, until the phone next to Zhao Xiaoyun rang. After she took the phone, she said to Du Yan: "Song The president has finished the meeting and is waiting for you. " After hearing this, Du Yan stood up and was about to walk towards the door. Zhao Xiaoyun seemed to hesitate slightly and whispered: "Mr. Song only knows that it was you who came up with the idea to make the money come true. Let the Song family know, but I don¡¯t know that you also proposed to involve Governor Yang.¡± Hearing Zhao Xiaoyun¡¯s words, Du Yan stopped and looked back at her. Of course he understood what Zhao Xiaoyun meant. Zhao Xiaoyun concealed his suggestion of using Yang Weiquan's power, definitely not to take credit for himself, but out of love for him. Although both the Song family and the Yang family benefited a lot from overthrowing Qian Zhicheng and taking advantage of the opportunity to attack Zhang Sheng, if they knew that all these steps were carried out under the arrangement of a small township cadre, But he will not accept it no matter what. Even if you get benefits, no one wants to be played by others from beginning to end, let alone someone who is far inferior to themselves. Not only will they not be grateful, but on the contrary, the more benefits they receive, the greater their hatred and taboo against this person may be. "Thank you, Xiaoyun." The inexplicable feelings that had faded in his heart slowly spread between the two of them. Du Yan hesitated for a moment but couldn't help but stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around Zhao Xiaoyun's tall and slender waist, and gently kissed her. After pulling her into his arms, Du Yan kissed her soft lips gently, "Thank you for everything you did for me." "Let me go, believe me or not" Zhao Xiaoyun struggled gently. , but her gentle struggle caused Du Yan to hold her slender but surprisingly elastic waist even harder, and press her body closer to his own harder and harder, to feel the connection between the two of them. The inexplicable pleasure brought by the gentle friction between them. "Believe it or not, you shot me dead?" Du Yan smiled and said in Zhao Xiaoyun's ear, "That's okay, just treat it as if I'm seeking death myself." "Scoundrel, gangster," Zhao Xiaoyun cursed in a low voice, but Du Yan hugged her gently. The light touch and kiss on the lips made her both scared and vaguely looking forward to it. "Go and see Mr. Song quickly. It will be bad for both of us if people see him." Seeing Zhao Xiaoyun's almost pleading look, Du Yan gently let go of her, Maybe he could not care, but he couldn't let Zhao Xiaoyun be affected because of him. As Du Yan guessed, he saw Song Jiayi alone, but did not see Qiao Luowei. Song Jiayi still looked so cheerful and optimistic. When he saw Du Yan, he walked over with a smile, put his arm on Du Yan's shoulder, and kept asking how he was doing recently. There was no sign that there was any irreparable gap between the two people. "Du Mi, I should thank you." Song Jiayi poured two glasses of red wine from the bar and walked over. He first looked at the quality of the wine at the light, and then handed a glass to Du Yan. "Try the foreign wine. Now it's starting in the capital." I'm excited about this. In fact, it doesn't necessarily taste better than our Erguotou Baigan. But the wine glass seems to be of higher quality. I don't know if it's just drinking or pretending." Du Yan chuckled.He knew that since the 1990s, foreign brands have gradually become a prop for certain classes to show their taste. Unlike those who really love wine, the vast majority of people are just pretending to be arty, as Song Jiayi said. But it just happened that Du Yan was one of the people who liked this mouthful. "Really good wines don't necessarily have to be those famous brands. Some people regard drinking Bordeaux red wine as showing off, or it's Lafite. In fact, what they drink is money." Du Yan smiled and then sniffed the cup. Then he looked at Song Jiayi with a little surprise, "I didn't expect you to have some good wine, just for the aroma. Maybe it's the bottom-of-the-line stuff from some private winery." "I can't tell you are a wine connoisseur. Ah," Song Jiayi was greatly surprised. He thought that although Du Yan was quite talented, he came from a remote rural area. His invitation to Du Yan to drink today was not just a whim, but had other deep meanings. However, Du Yan was beyond his expectation. His performance made Song Jiayi more interested, but after a few casual chats about wine, Song Jiayi finally got to the point. Looking at Du Yan, he swayed the wine glass and said casually, "Brother, you have stayed in Pingling for a long enough time. Are you interested in moving?" Du Yan took a sip of red wine and felt the warmth between his lips. With the bitter aftertaste that had almost been eliminated by the years, he looked at Song Jiayi sitting opposite: "What, is there a place where I can be arranged?" Hearing Du Yan's questioning tone, Song Jiayi sat up straight and held the wine glass in his hands. He twisted it gently in his heart, and after a while he said: "Du Yan, I know you have resentment towards me, and it would be the same for me, but I think with your intelligence, you can understand some things without me having to say them. In this case Let's make it clear, we are indeed in debt to you, but you have lost nothing. Besides, do you really think you can preside over the three-town-one-region economic zone? You know, your suggestion? Some people have noticed it when you come out. Some people are no better than you in economics, but when it comes to their skills, no one is worse than you, and their backgrounds are not comparable to yours. In the end, your result is just making wedding clothes for others. That's all, you should know this truth very well. " Listening to Song Jiayi's unabashed words, Du Yan took another sip of red wine. The sour taste made his mouth feel bitter. He knew that Song Jiayi was right, even he From the beginning, I also thought that once the economic zone was really established, I would probably become a thorn in the eyes of others. After all, how could he, a little person like him, take advantage of an obvious political achievement. "Du Yan, there is actually no harm in you leaving now. If you really have to let others run away before you leave, it will be much more difficult for you in the future." Song Jiayi looked at Du Yan. If he had only regarded Du Yan as an economic person before, A capable young talent, after what happened with Qian Zhicheng, Song Jiayi no longer underestimated Du Yan. Although many things that happened later have completely developed into competition and struggles between Hexi Province and even higher-ups, at first he found that this was After all, it was Du Yan who gave this opportunity to the Song family. "Secure it first, I will find you a place, and I will consider it as compensation for you." "Is there a suitable place?" Du Yan put it down. Wine glass, he knew that it was time for him to be rewarded for his previous efforts and grievances. Although he knew that this reward would definitely come, he did not expect it to be so soon. This is probably related to his "unintentional" discovery of the ability to The credit for helping the Song family open up the situation in Hexi Province is related. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Zhao Xiaoyun. "There is a place that is very suitable for you, but I want to remind you that you must be able to calm down and stay calm." Song Jiayi said lightly. Hearing Song Jiayi say these words, which were exactly what he had said to Chen Siyou, Du Yan had almost thought of the kind of place he might go to. "Who will be the director of the new economic zone in the future?" Du Yan suddenly asked. A strange expression appeared on Song Jiayi's face: "I thought you really couldn't bear to ask, but it seems that you, Du Mi, are still not exempt from vulgarity." In response to Song Jiayi's teasing, Du Yan just smiled noncommittally. "The future Xinsan Town One Economic Zone is planned to be a deputy director," Song Jiayi did not continue to laugh at Du Yan. "In principle, the district director has chosen Liu Jiahui." Hearing Song Jiayi's words, Du Yan nodded silently, this The result was already in Du Yan's imagination. Liang Benchu, who was parachuted from the central government to Hexi Province as Minister of Health Organization, was the pioneer of the Song family to enter the mainland, and it was natural to win over Liu Ding, who was the executive deputy minister, in order to gain a firm foothold. At this time, it happened that Du Yan proposed the three-town-one-region economic zone, a project with great potential. In order to win over Liu Ding, it became logical for Du Yan to move to free up Liu Jiahui as the future director of the New Economic Zone. "Brother, there are many things that not only you, but also I can only doLet's make arrangements and go." Song Jiayi seemed to be slightly touched when he said this. He drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, then suddenly tilted his head and looked at Du Yan with a strange look in his eyes and said, "My sister-in-law appreciates you very much, and I will do the same this time. She said a lot of nice things to you, please find a chance to thank her. " Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 37 Chapter 36 New Year's Eve On February 14, 1991, a heavy snowfall came silently the night before. When I opened the door, I saw that the outside was covered with snow and it was refreshing. I smelled the cold air without a trace of dirty smell, even if it was People who are in a bad mood will also feel better. What¡¯s more, today is still New Year¡¯s Eve. When it¡¯s still very early in the day, people open their doors early. Although they have almost cleaned up before, every household still cleans the courtyard and porch, pours water on the surface, puts up Spring Festival couplets, and sets up ancestral tablets according to customs. This time is very particular. In addition to following the old rules of "no going out and no entering" after the twelfth lunar month, we also have to stick to certain customs on the door with painted window paper saying "invite the gods" and "receive the master". This is a time when every family not only seeks blessings from their ancestors, but also shows off their craftsmanship to outsiders. Du Fei got up early. She took out a broom from her house and swept the snow in the yard. Because it was too cold, her originally white face was as cold as a red apple. A faint sound from the courtyard door caught Du Fei's attention. She raised her head, and then saw Su Qian standing at the courtyard door with some surprise. Su Qian was wearing a red down jacket, but she still looked very cold. Looking at Du Fei, Su Qian called out in a low voice: "Xiao Fei." Du Fei's face didn't look so pretty. In fact, she knew that her brother and Su Qian had a really good relationship before, and Su Qian suddenly fell in love with Du Yan. Du Fei's strong performance when encountering changes made Du Fei have to admit that if her brother wanted to find a good wife, Su Qian really had nothing to say, but when she thought of what happened the day before, she really couldn't swallow that breath. "Qianqian is here," Sang Shulan came out of the house. She was cleaning the house. The rag that had just been soaked in hot water was still steaming. "Come in quickly, it's too cold outside." "Auntie," Su Qian said first She let out a low cry, then walked over and took the rag from Sang Shulan's hand. "Auntie, let me do it. Thank you." Su Qian walked to the door and started wiping the glass. "How can Qianqian let you do this work? Come to the house quickly," Sang Shulan said nonchalantly, "Why don't Xiaofei go get the stove for you, Sister Qianqian? Come out so early to see it." "It's freezing." "As for that, I'm not afraid of the cold. Who told us to live in an old dilapidated house without even a heater? Would my daughter like it?" Du Fei said coldly, seeing Su Qian looking over. With a helpless look, Du Fei snorted and turned away, "Anyway, my brother is incompetent. He just asked someone to jerk off the mayor if he didn't know anything. Why did he come to our house if he can't even hope for it?" " Hearing Du Fei scolding her with the words her mother said when she came to Du's house to make trouble the day before, Su Qian couldn't help but feel a little bitter in her heart, and she was about to wipe the tears in her eyes with a rag. "Shut up, stop saying a few words and no one will treat you like a mute." Sang Shulan scolded her daughter in a low voice. She stretched out her hand to stop Su Qian and took the rag from her hand. "You are a big New Year person. You are such a delicate person." "It's not good to cry." When she heard about the Chinese New Year, Su Qian forced herself to hold back her tears, for fear of making Sang Shulan unhappy. "Qianqian, good boy, let's go into the house." Sang Shulan said as she turned around and glared at Du Fei. When she saw her daughter turning her head and angrily sweeping the yard with a broom, Sang Shulan shook her head helplessly. . As a mother, she naturally knows what her daughter is thinking, but who says her children don't have this fate? Besides, Su Qian is really a good child. Yesterday, after hearing that her mother was making noise again, she immediately followed her and persuaded Gu Weifen to leave. , I came here so early today, obviously to apologize for what happened yesterday. "Qianqian is here." Du Zhenhai greeted him. Like his wife, Du Zhenhai also had a very good impression of Su Qian. The most rare thing was that when Du Yan went through such a huge ups and downs in their eyes, Su Qian could always be so close. Not giving up also made Du Zhenhai recognize this daughter-in-law from the bottom of his heart. "Xiaoyan probably won't get home until evening. I don't know what he is busy with now." "Uncle, my mother did something wrong yesterday. Don't worry about it, auntie. "Su Qian whispered. She wasn't so reluctant to let go, but her mother's repeated unreasonable troubles made her unable to hold her head high in front of the Du family. "I apologize to you and my aunt on behalf of my mother." "Silly boy. What are you talking about? We are still talking about this in our own family." Sang Shulan held Su Qian's hand and couldn't help but smile. Looking at Su Qian who was becoming more and more handsome, Sang Shulan liked her from the bottom of her heart, but gradually she fell in love with her. The look in her eyes at Su Qian became a little strange. After saying a few more words, Sang Shulan made an excuse and took Su Qian into the back room. "Qianqian, don't mind if aunt asks you something, but you have to tell the truth to aunt," Sang Shulan looked at Su Qian, whose face turned red immediately after hearing her words. Although she had already made up her mind, she still Decided to ask clearly, "Have you and Xiaoyan already been intimate?""Auntie!" Su Qian lowered her head, then lowered her head, her head almost pierced into the plump breasts on her chest. "Silly boy, you still call me aunt," Sang Shulan looked at Su Qian with a smile. Although Gu Weifen was really unpleasant, seeing Su Qian's well-behaved look, Sang Shulan's dissatisfaction from the previous day faded away. "Xiao Fei is not sensible. As a sister-in-law, please bear with her in the future." Hearing Sang Shulan's words, Su Qian nodded shyly, and then shook her head in a panic. "What, you don't want to be Xiaofei's sister-in-law?" Sang Shulan asked Su Qian jokingly. Seeing that Su Qian was so amused that she nodded or shook her head, she couldn't help laughing, and then sighed softly, "Can you see?" Your uncle and I are really happy that you and Xiaoyan are so good. I'm not praising my child. Xiaoyan has done his duty since he was a child. I believe him if he does something wrong at work, but I don't believe him if he embezzles state funds. After all, it¡¯s his mother, and I should trust him. What¡¯s rare is that you, Qianqian, can always trust him so much. Qianqian, I¡¯ll tell you something today, let alone Xiaoyan, he won¡¯t be a high official in the future, even if he really does. That blessing will last a lifetime for you and him. If he has any second thoughts about becoming an official in the future, tell Mom, even if he becomes the county party secretary, Mom will give him a slap in the face. " "Mom!" Shulan's words triggered a burst of joy, grievance, or the excitement that had been caused by worry and uneasiness for a long time. Su Qian was completely released at this moment! Su Qian threw herself into Sang Shulan's arms and just kept crying. Du Fei, who heard the noise in the back room just after entering the room, immediately frowned, but before she could say anything, Du Zhenhai glared at her and said Scared back. "Xiao Fei, be more respectful to Qian Qian from now on," Du Zhenhai's voice was low, but it seemed unquestionable, "Remember, we are a family from now on. Speaking of which, if you get married and leave the house in the future, you will have to see Qian Qian when you return to your parents' home. Qian, are you willing? " "I don't want to get married, and I won't get married in this life!" After hearing what his father said, Du Fei was stunned and whispered, but Du Zhenhai didn't pay attention to his daughter's muttering, let alone When Du Fei said this, she showed a determination that was completely inconsistent with her youth. Du Yan rushed home when it was already dark and firecrackers had started to be set off in many places, so it was a pity that he could not see Su Qian. Although Su Qian is now semi-publicly regarded as a member of the Du family, after all, the two of them have not yet formally completed the formalities. Seeing that the sky is getting dark, Su Qian has to say goodbye and go home despite her unwillingness. Speaking of which, it was unfortunate. Not long after Su Qian left, Du Yan entered the house. He heard that he and Su Qian had missed each other. Although he felt a little regretful, there was nothing he could do about it. The 1991 Spring Festival Gala ended with bursts of joy and laughter. Although I always feel that many of the programs are outdated when I look at those programs again, whether it is the hilarious sketch "The Cop and the Thief" or the cheerful children's song "Dalian Sing", it makes me happy. Du Yan rediscovered those later generations who, despite high investment and high cost, were full of film and television singers, but always felt that they lacked the feeling of eliciting sincere smiles. Until midnight came, the sound of firecrackers gradually became denser and finally connected into an earth-shattering sound. After smelling the choking smell in the air, he gave Du Fei, who was pestering him for new year's money, a small After giving the small red envelope, Du Yan accompanied his parents back to the main room. "Xiaoyan, I'll go to Su Qian's house tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings." According to the rules of old age, after leading the whole family to lay incense on the ancestral tablet, Du Zhenhai said slowly, "By this time next year, Qianqian will almost be part of our family. Her mother Maybe he is a bad person, but our family cannot lose its rules and etiquette." Sang Shulan smiled and nodded, while secretly glaring at Du Fei who was about to speak again. Du Yan was silent for a moment. Under the slightly surprised gazes of Du Zhenhai and his wife, he said apologetically to his parents: "Mom and Dad, I was just about to tell you that I have to leave tomorrow morning and I don't have time to go to Su Qian's house." Happy New Year." "Tomorrow morning?" Sang Shulan looked at Du Yan in surprise, "Where are you going? You won't be staying home for two more days during the New Year?" "No way, it's work." Du Yan smiled bitterly. , he didn't expect that his work schedule would suddenly change before the Spring Festival, and another thing that was beyond his expectation prevented him from staying at home and having a solid Spring Festival. "How is your matter decided by the organization?" Du Zhenhai looked at his son with a slightly serious look. Although he knew that the previous matter should have been clarified, as soon as he returned to Pingling, he heard that Du Yan had been dismissed from the post of mayor by his superiors. Go, but there is only one explanation for what to do next, "the work will be arranged separately", which makes Du Zhenhai feel at ease. "There are no arrangements yet, but there should be news almost there. We will have to wait for the details." Although Du Yan already had a general idea of ??what he was going to do,However, it is not easy to reveal the direction to the parents before it is confirmed. "I am going to the capital this time. Zhao Xiaoyun is going back to the capital tomorrow. I will go with her car." "Going to the capital? With Sister Xiaoyun?" Du Fei's eyes immediately became alive, and Du Yan couldn't help but be startled by the inexplicable burning fire of gossip. "Well, because time is running out, I won't be able to go there for the Chinese New Year this year. Let's talk to Qianqian later when she comes. I'll find a chance to give her a call as well." Du Yan was a little helpless, as communication tools were lagging behind at this time. People often miss out once they miss it. This makes Du Yan feel that if he has the opportunity to develop the paging industry or the mobile communication industry that will become popular soon, he may make a lot of money. Unfortunately, this Just thinking about it casually, not to mention that there is no capital at all. Anyone who is familiar with the inside story of these industries will know that doing this kind of business in this era is definitely not something that can only be done with money. "Why do you have to leave on the first day of the new year? Why didn't Xiaoyun come home?" Sang Shulan asked a little strangely. Although Mr. Qiao and Zhao Xiaoyun had helped her family a lot, and they heard that her son It was their great efforts to clear the grievances, but when she thought of her son and Mr. Zhao Xiaoyun, who was so alone, Sang Shulan felt a little worried. "Where is Mr. Qiao? Is she going back together?" It's also strange that Qiao Luowei has never shown up since he arranged for Du Zhenhai's family. In the next few days, he heard that people from the Huachang Group's Pingling office had submitted various financial information about the original investment in the three towns. The relevant departments conducted an investigation, but since then I have never seen Mr. Qiao, who has an indifferent personality and cold appearance. "It seems that he returned to the capital early, I don't know." Hearing that Qiao Luowei was mentioned, Du Yan felt a little disappointed for some reason. Qiao Luowei has been in a good mood ever since they met at the Qifengshan Hotel. Miaomiao, but he didn't know whether it was because she wanted to avoid Song Jiayi or for some other reason. Du Yan couldn't help but feel a slight twinge in his heart when he thought of that beautiful face that always seemed to be full of repulsion, cool and breathtaking. The ripples of "I went to the capital this time to meet a professor from Jinghua University. I contacted him some time ago because of some work insights. Now I have time to visit him. By the way, I want to learn something from him. Can I study systematically at Jinghua University, which will be of great help to my future work? Secretary Li and I have already reported this, and he is very supportive." After the corruption investigation came to an end, Du Yan and Li Peizheng agreed. Although Du Yan was grateful for Li Peizheng's support for his righteous deeds during such a difficult time, after the call was connected, he didn't know where to start. And Li Peizheng only said a few words of encouragement to his former secretary, but when he was about to hang up at the end, Li Peizheng said calmly: "Xiao Du, being an official is difficult, but being a responsible and courageous official is even more difficult. Difficult. Remember, no matter where you go in the future, don¡¯t let the anger in your heart disappear. "Brother, you want to go to Jinghua?" He shouted, "Why didn't you tell me earlier! Don't you know that my biggest dream is to go to Jinghua University?" Looking at Du Fei jumping up and down, Du Yan just smiled. He knew that if there were no big changes, Du Yan would Fei will eventually be admitted to Tongyang University. Although this is a pity, according to Du Yan's knowledge, Du Fei, who received the admission notice in his previous life, was not very depressed but seemed to be relieved. This made Du Yan Never understood what was going on. Du Yan nodded: "There is no specific work scheduled during this period, so I want to take this opportunity to go to the capital to get these things done. When the work is arranged, there will be no time." "Then go," Du Zhenhai Nodding, he has always been very reassured about his son. Although the work has not been officially arranged yet, judging from his son's demeanor, he should have some clues. "Find time to have a phone call with Qianqian to reassure her. It's not easy for this child." "I know, Dad," Du Yan responded in a low voice. Seeing that his sister was still there and seemed very excited, Du Yan smiled and flicked Du Fei's forehead, "Brother, I will bring you some reference this time. Come back, maybe this time you will actually get admitted to the elite school." Touching her sore forehead, Du Fei looked at her brother blankly, then she suddenly pulled up her face and said, "Who cares? What kind of Jinghua University!" Then he turned around and walked out to his room. Only Du Fei, who was looking at his sister's back in confusion, was left in the room, and Du Zhenhai and his wife looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly after seeing this. February 15, 1991, the first day of the Lunar New Year. Du Yan, who had been vigiling with his family all night, washed his face and felt refreshed. After saying hello to his parents, he left home. Go to the street,Du Yan hesitated slightly as he looked at the streets, which were bright but actually reflected like daylight from the heavy snowfall the day before. If he hurried, he might be able to make a quick trip to Su Qian's house. He was eager to try, but just as his feet moved, a familiar Mitsubishi Pajero had already appeared at the intersection in the distance, looking at the snow-covered road. Du Yan already knew that Zhao Xiaoyun didn't seem to be in a good mood today due to the white mist rising behind the car when the road turned. Pajero stopped next to Du Yan and opened the car door. Du Yan became more sure of his thoughts. Looking at Du Yan who got into the car, Zhao Xiaoyun stepped on the accelerator without saying anything. After Du Yan hurriedly buckled the seat belt, she His feet simply stepped on the bottom. "You don't want to live, I haven't lived enough yet," because he was a little annoyed, Du Yan scolded him regardless of whether he was celebrating the Chinese New Year or not, "Who hired you again?" "It's you!" Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly stepped on the brakes, The Pajero suddenly slid out of a long deep groove on the snowy road. Du Yan's body suddenly fell forward. Although he had a safety belt, the force still made him feel uncomfortable! "What's wrong with you?" Du Yan asked helplessly. The contact with Zhao Xiaoyun during this period of time made him know that this is a girl who looks tough but is actually very innocent. Sometimes she is still very cute, as long as she is not provoked. she. "Mr. Qiao has gone back to the south," Zhao Xiaoyun turned around and said to Du Yan, "I called the capital yesterday, and they told me that Mr. Qiao just left yesterday." "Back to the south?" Du Yan vaguely remembered hearing Zhao Xiaoyun say about Qiao Luo. Wei should be from Jiangnan, but Qiao Luowei, who is supposed to be with the Song family during the Chinese New Year, would go back to the south on New Year's Eve, and "Why didn't she take you with her?" "It's not because of you. !" Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly turned red. "Mr. Qiao must have noticed something, so he left like this without telling me." "What does it have to do with me," Du Yan muttered with a hint of guilt. Zhao Xiaoyun glared over again, and he immediately pointed to the traffic policeman in front of him who seemed to have noticed the Pajero that had been parked in the middle of the road. "If you don't want to cause any more trouble, drive quickly. It's still a long way from here to the capital." Zhao Xiaoyun said again Du Yan glared hard, stopped talking, started the Pajero and drove forward. There was silence in the car for a while. Looking at the road ahead, Du Yan fell into deep thought. Qian Zhicheng finally failed to stay in the position of deputy director of the Tongyang Geographical Records Office. Less than a week later, he was announced to retire early due to physical reasons. As for Qian Xiaocheng, although he has a bad record, according to the investigation, he has no direct relationship with the Zhao Aiguo drug gang case. He only acted as a protective umbrella for criminal gangs after being deceived. But despite this, his rape of women and many previous misdeeds alone are enough to land him in jail for several years. But according to some rumors, Qian Zhicheng went to Zhang Sheng to plead for mercy after his son's accident. Not only did Zhang Sheng not refuse, but he also kept Qian Zhicheng in his villa for a long time. Du Yan believed this. When sentencing Qian Xiaocheng, the judge should have had a picture in mind. There is never true fairness in the world, let alone true selflessness. Du Yan believes that if Zhang Sheng refuses Qian Zhicheng's plea at this time, it may not only not be selfless in the eyes of many people, but also a way to make things worse. . This has almost become a custom in the domestic officialdom. As long as the relationship between power and power is not too great, people are not stingy about helping a person in trouble. Whether it is a matter of friendship or selling a favor, it is true. It is this complicated network of relationships that confuses various thoughts and forms the unique environment of domestic officialdom. And if you think about it carefully, Zhang Sheng reached out to pull Qian Zhicheng at this time, and even stayed in his municipal party committee villa No. 1 for so long. He was trying to win the first battle, and he was trying to send a strong signal to Han Jiaqi, who was chasing the bandits bravely! Thinking about it now, although Han Jiaqi had the upper hand in this matter, Zhang was promoted to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and had a strong background as deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. How could Han Jiaqi easily shake him? Yang Weiquan should not feel comfortable at this time. This thought flashed through Du Yan's mind. Qu Xiangshan finally took a step forward, but he was not the first deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection as rumored earlier, but the executive deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Although the rank was also a higher level, the trick in this was not something that others could see. Got it. What gives Du Yan a slight headache is that according to Zhao Xiaoyun¡¯s news, Qu Xiangshan¡¯s replacement as full-time deputy secretary of the Taihua Municipal Committee is Zhang Wenliang, who was transferred to Taihua City¡¯s executive deputy mayor last summer. And Zhang Wenliang had a son named Zhang Tao. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 38 Chapter 37 Visiting Feng Ziming The material is steep, the winter ice presses the snow, and the soft jade clears the skin and turns into spring mud. Jinghua University is located in the famous Jinghua Garden in the capital. Hundreds of years of accumulation have given this royal garden in the early years and now a famous university a quiet and distant cultural atmosphere. Whether it is the steadfast teachings that teach students "actions speak louder than words" like bells in the morning and drums in the evening, or the sage's precepts of "the spirit of ** and the thought of freedom" that have lasted through a hundred years of time and space, but are still inspiring, they all make Jinghua University Under the influence of this spirit, generations of elite talents have been cultivated, and the passionate young people of this university who have the responsibility of everyone to rise and fall of the country have made magnificent pursuits of national independence and national freedom and equality in the modern history of the country. In the wave, it played a huge role that cannot be ignored. When Du Yan was walking on the path on the campus of Jinghua University, he looked at the small pavilion on the lake in the distance, which was wrapped in layers of plain snow, like a jade carving made of ice, and he couldn't help but feel a gentle ripple in his heart. Jinghua University is Tranquil and deep, that kind of tranquility seems to wash away the noisy world outside, allowing people to settle down and learn, and that kind of depth will make even the most frivolous people gradually realize their own superficiality and ignorance. , thus taking off the disguise of vanity and sincerely worshiping in front of the palace of knowledge and truth. However, Du Yan was not completely immersed in this almost addictive atmosphere. He knew exactly what he was here to do, and he also knew what the person he was going to meet would become in the future. Du Yan was not familiar with the current Feng Ziming except for being in contact with him on the phone. However, thanks to the almost omnipotent Internet in later generations, Du Yan had known this elite spokesperson who was later known as the vanguard of interest groups for many years. What kind of appearance will he appear in front of the public next? However, Feng Ziming has not yet reached that stage. As a recipient of state subsidies and as a university expert with a deep relationship with the Central Advisory Committee, Feng Ziming is more interested in doing some academic research for senior management's reference. When Feng Ziming saw Du Yan, he was a little strange. Although he knew that the "academic commentator" with whom he corresponded and had phone calls was probably very young, he was still surprised when he saw Du Yan. It wasn't until he saw Du Yan's ID card that Feng Ziming finally believed that the young man in front of him, who looked much younger than his actual age, was the one who made him so amazed after reading the article. of commentators. "If you say you are a student at school, I think others will believe it," Feng Ziming laughed. Unlike many southerners, this later "vanguard of interest groups" has the generosity of a northerner, and at this time he is also pretty good. At the age of 19, although his hair has shown signs of baldness, fortunately it has not turned into his signature bald head that will not grow on any grass in later generations. "But I am really surprised. Even a genius is unlikely to write such an article. That is not relying on Just be smart, you can't make such detailed inferences and arguments without in-depth research and social practice." Hearing Feng Ziming's doubtful inquiry, Du Yan just chuckled. Of course, the lack of information in this era cannot be compared with future generations. Compared with the era of Internet information explosion, not to mention people who are already familiar with current affairs, even those so-called nerds who would die in the light of day can still understand what is happening in society through the Internet in a timely manner. "But if, as you said, our economic reform is going into a misunderstanding, I absolutely cannot accept this view." When it came to academics, Feng Ziming immediately became stubborn. Du Yan knew that this was also the case for these scholars. Characteristics common to all people, a small problem that may be simple to others may become a matter of life and death to them, just like someone joked, for some red scholars, has Cao Xueqin ever smoked Sheephorn wind, that¡¯s really a big deal. But even so, it is only an academic dispute after all. However, Du Yan knows that with the development of maximizing the interests of the privileged class, "enclosure" in the market has become an inevitable development trend for interest groups. At that time, how many experts and scholars like Feng Ziming were really just out of academic enthusiasm to express their sometimes bizarre and even unethical views? "Professor Feng, I know that you admire meritocracy," Du Yan said with a smile. Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little strange to be sitting across from this "famous bricklayer" who had mixed reputations in later generations, drinking tea and discussing Taoism. But now that he is here, he naturally cannot give up a good opportunity easily. According to his plan, this meeting with Feng Ziming is just an introduction, and more important things are yet to come. "And we have to admit that our country is indeed moving towards an elite society. "But do you think such an elite society is normal?" "I don't think you would say that the emergence of an elite society violates the development laws of the socialist country system, right?" Feng Ziming just laughed.He asked, but there was already a hint of disapproval in his eyes. As the dust of the riot two years ago settled, the obvious leftward turn in the country became more and more obvious. The previous cheers for Western democratic systems that appeared in the mid-1980s have become much less, and even Even in the relatively pure academic world, debates in the political or economic fields are much more cautious. At this time, the rise of a group of so-called young new left forces in the academic field has also made such debates more difficult. At least many scholars are more careful. After all, many people have personally experienced the catastrophe twenty years ago when people often wore hats and hit sticks. So when Du Yan raised questions about the elite system, although Feng Ziming did not say it directly, he already regarded this young man as a member of the new left wing, and he was even ready to stop discussing it. Because in many cases, the so-called New Left is not so much debating academics with others as selling pre-labeled hats that they have already made. Feng Ziming is certainly not interested in such a debate. "Professor Feng, Western countries also respect elite society, but this elite society is very different from what we understand." Du Yan explained slowly. He was not afraid that Feng Ziming thought he was his academic rival and could attract such a warm and welcoming person. The attention of academic leaders with deep connections at the top was enough in itself to pave a wider path for Du Yan than before. More importantly, in this era, the debate about elite society has just begun. Although Du Yan is not arrogant enough to think that he can become a school in this great debate that will have an impact on future social outcomes, he can at least make a statement that belongs to the elite society. His voice has already benefited a lot from him now. "Western society, to be precise, the social structure of the United States in the modern sense, regards the elite as the mainstream of society. Whether it is material wealth, cultural spirit or mainstream consciousness, this class can be said to dominate the entire American social structure. To put it figuratively, if the United States is compared to an olive-shaped society, then this huge elite class is located in the middle and largest area of ??the olive." Du Yan casually drew a circle on the table, "They are the backbone of the United States. Power, what¡¯s interesting is that many of this class are the so-called Beat Generation, and these are a group of young people who were representatives of modern American culture even at that time. They have now become the foundation of this country.¡± ¡° Are you teaching me modern American history?" Feng Ziming asked a little funny. He did not expect that Du Yan would use the United States as a metaphor. In fact, at this time, terms with special meanings such as the United States and the West were very taboo. . Du Yan was also amused by Feng Ziming's joke, but if he didn't have a general understanding of Feng Ziming's views at this time, he wouldn't have used this as a metaphor. "In fact, Professor Feng, what I'm worried about is that our economic reforms are not developing a maximizing mass elite like the United States, but are promoting a minority elitism. Once this minority elitism is combined with huge wealth, There will be a new monopoly," Du Yan said calmly. Seeing Feng Ziming's expression change when he heard what he said, he just picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. "Xiao Du, do you mean that a new upper class will appear in our society?" Feng Ziming looked at Du Yan seriously. Seeing Du Yanruo looking at him with deep meaning, Feng Ziming suddenly felt that this young man seemed to be really He has completely seen through some things. In fact, he is not surprised at all by Du Yan's conclusion. Although he is not very clear about what the results will be in the future, based on what he knows about the huge power and power that the Song family currently possesses. With the combination of huge wealth, it seems that it is only a matter of time before a new special class that combines power and wealth emerges. The only thing that surprised Feng Ziming was that the person who pointed out the problem was a small cadre from a remote town in the mainland. "So what do you think is the trend of our economic reform? As far as I know, in Pingling, the three-town and one-site complementary economic zone that you originally planned to implement according to your intention seems to be no longer the case. Right?" Feng Ziming asked pointedly. Seeing Du Yan's wry smile, Feng Ziming shook his head slightly and sighed, "Xiao Du, it seems that it is easier for us to learn in the ivory tower, and it is really difficult to do things outside. It¡¯s difficult.¡± Listening to Feng Ziming¡¯s emotion, Du Yan could only smile bitterly. Being dismissed from the post of mayor of Daqing Township did not make Du Yan feel regretful. In fact, if he was still the mayor of Daqing Township, then he would have no chance to escape from the suffocating small place of Pingling. . Now, although his work has not been officially arranged, his eyes have already been drawn from Daqing Township and even Taihua City. Even though his level is still only a regular major, heBut his mentality has already changed. But precisely because of this, when he looked at the development of Daqing Township with the eyes of a bystander, he found that although he had only left for a short period of time, the three towns and one town he had planned to "develop advantages and work together to complement each other" Local economic planning has already undergone great changes. If Du Yan could sum it up in one word, it would be "advancing"! Originally, it was just a three-town and one-area economic zone headed by Daqing Township. It has become a single economic zone headed by Daqing Township. The status of Shuangdui and Liuliji has changed as revealed in several speeches by the county. It has become a supporting facility surrounding the Daqingxiang Winery, which has started to expand after New Year's Day. With the expansion of Qingguo Winery, Pingling and even Taihua City simply regard the winery as a cash cow. Among them, Liuliji can still be cared for to some extent because of Suci and Song Jiayi's previous investment of 500,000 yuan in renovation. Because Shuangdui is worthless in the eyes of many people, it is only regarded as a transfer station for goods from Daqing Township and Liuliji to Qingfeng and Linchi in Linshi. Thinking about it, Lao Zhai, who has been transferred to Shuangdui as the mayor, must be very depressed. Du Yan, who smiled helplessly when he thought of this, could naturally understand what Feng Ziming was talking about, and from his words, Du Yan could also guess that Qiao Luowei should have said these things to him, otherwise the dignified Jinghua University How could a professor from the School of Economics pay attention to the changes in a small mainland town? As if he had read through Du Yan's thoughts, Feng Ziming stood up and walked to the bookcase and brought out two new-looking books. When he saw the latest edition of the "Yearbook of World Economics" marked in English on the cover, Du said: Yan couldn't help but be stunned. He vaguely remembered that he had mentioned this series of tool books in a chat with Qiao Luowei before. At that time, he regretted that he could not find this set of reference books in Taihua City. Unexpectedly, today I saw it at Feng Ziming's house. "Luo Wei stayed here and asked me to give it to you before he left," Feng Ziming glanced at Du Yan and wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it for a moment, he changed the topic, "Xiao Du, are you a graduate of Shanghai University?" "Yes. , Department of Journalism, Shanghai University." Du Yan nodded, "But Professor Feng, in addition to coming to ask for advice from you this time, I really want to learn more about it, but I don't know much about the relevant regulations, and I haven't been able to do it during this time. I have almost no time. I may have to arrange specific work soon, which may be inconvenient. " "It's good if you want to study more. Not many young people who are working are willing to settle down and read books." Feng Ziming seemed to be feeling something and sighed, "Xiao Du, if you don't dislike me, I can be your tutor, take a postgraduate examination, and promote your theory in practice while doing academic work. It's a good idea. Ah." Seeing Feng Ziming's excited expression after self-recommendation, Du Yan felt a little ashamed. He knew very well that he had put forward the idea of ??continuing to study, but there was not much in it that he really wanted to learn, but more of it. I want to use Feng Ziming's line to get in touch with higher-level things, so that my voice can have a place in the economic academic field that will have a significant impact on the country in the future. "Xiao Du, wait a minute. I'll find some books for you. They should be helpful to you." Feng Ziming seemed very excited. He walked to the bookcase and looked through it again. After not finding it, he thought about it for a while and turned back to Du Yan. After saying hello and asking him to sit down, he turned around and walked to a small room in the backyard. As he walked, he said to Du Yan, "It should be left there. I like peace and quiet. If I have nothing to do, I will stay there." Du Yan smiled helplessly. He knew that once a person like Feng Ziming was serious about something, he would not give up until it was completed. Seeing that only his study was left, he stood up and walked a few steps casually. , when he walked to the desk a little bored, he was attracted by a photo on the table. "Amazing beauty, indifferent expression, and coldness, no, actually a faint and tender smile, Du Yan has never seen Qiao Luowei like this. However, the one who could see her smile was a strange young man standing next to her who looked familiar to Du Yan. " Then Du Yan thought about it for a moment and knew that this person should be Qiao Luowei's husband and Song Jiayi's half-brother who sent him home. Although the young man in the photo looks good, he is also very ordinary. Maybe it is because of his background. From the photo, you can't find that kind of arrogance and cynicism. From his expression, Du Yan can see What I saw more was the almost tangible love for Qiao Luowei. And Qiao Luowei in the photo does not have the indifference that Du Yan is familiar with. Apart from the indifferent temperament that she was born with, there is something in her eyes when she looks at the people around her. It was also a kind of indifference that made Du Yan feel unfamiliar.Love. Du Yan was so attracted by the seemingly vague affection between the two people in the photo that he didn't even notice the figure who had entered the study and stood beside him for a while. . "Bring it here!" A clear shout suddenly sounded from Du Yan's ears, which frightened Du Yan who had just picked up the photo and he couldn't help but dodge to the side! As a dark thing suddenly passed under his eyes, the photo in Du Yan's hand was suddenly snatched from his hand! Then, Du Yan looked at him in astonishment. A young girl who was about the same age as Du Fei, or perhaps a little younger than Du Fei, was holding a few books in one hand and a photo that had been taken from him in the other hand, staring at him. . She was wearing a well-fitting red woolen coat. Her long hair was piled high and tied into two large braids behind her head. Her long and neat bangs covered her fair forehead. The widening eyes under the slender eyebrows are full of aura, while the lips under the pretty and high bridge of the nose, which may be unusually red due to the cold, are slightly pouting unhappily. "Why are you so rude? Who allowed you to touch other people's things?" the girl asked unhappily. She carefully placed the photo on the desk and moved it back and forth until she felt it was completely back. After taking his original position, he nodded slightly with satisfaction. "I'm sorry, I just recognized the person in the photo." Du Yan looked at the girl strangely. From her thick and slender black hair, Du Yan maliciously speculated that she was not Feng Ziming's daughter. "Do you know my brother and my sister-in-law?" The girl tilted her head and looked at Du Yan. "Qiao Luowei is your sister-in-law?" Du Yan was even more surprised. He had long been thinking about the relationship between Feng Ziming and Qiao Luowei. It should be more than a simple guest of honor or teacher and student. At least he could tell that Feng Ziming was interested in Qiao Luowei. Wei, it should be more of an elder's love for a younger generation. "You know my sister-in-law." The girl seemed to curl her lips slightly, and then looked at Du Yan up and down with a scrutinizing gaze. "Xiao Wen, you came so early today," Feng Ziming walked in from the small door of the backyard with two large books. When he saw the girl, he smiled and said hello, "Teacher Tang, you haven't come back yet." "There are guests at home today, so I came here by car," the girl said, not forgetting to glare at Du Yan. "I saw someone moving something around when I came in." I saw the girl's eyes looking at the table. In the photo, the smile on Feng Ziming's face gradually disappeared, and he seemed to sigh silently. Then he remembered something and said: "Come on, let me introduce you. You are not strangers after all. This is Jiayi's sister named Jiawen." After that, he turned back to the girl and said, "This is you Brother's friend, Du Yan, your sister-in-law also knows him." "Du Yan?" Song Jiawen suddenly looked at Du Yan with that strange look, and then said tentatively, "Are you Du Yan?" "You know me? "Du Yan looked at the little princess of the Song family strangely, and had to admit that the Song family is a family that pays great attention to breed matching. Song Jiayi is very handsome, and although his sister is young, she is already a beauty. As for Qiao Luowei, if she didn't have outstanding appearance and temperament, I guess even if the Song family was just a concubine, they wouldn't fall in love with her easily. "I've heard of it, so you are it." Song Jiawen seemed to be unable to hide her disappointment and glanced at Du Yan again and ignored him. She turned back to Feng Ziming and said, "Master, I won't disturb you anymore. Go wait for Teacher Tang in the hall." Looking at Song Jiawen who entered the living room, Feng Ziming smiled at Du Yan who was slightly surprised and said: "Jiawen is my wife's student. She is now a sophomore in Jinghua Middle School, but her grades are not ideal, so Luo Wei asked my wife Take the time to tutor her. " Du Yan nodded. He didn't expect that during his visit to Feng Ziming, he would get to know an eldest lady from the Song family. But what he didn't understand was why after hearing his name, Song Jiawen would show that strange look, and how did she know about him? After discussing the issue with Feng Ziming for a while, the phone rang. After Feng Ziming answered the phone, he called Song Jiawen who was waiting outside to come in: "Jiawen, what a coincidence, you, Teacher Tang, have to come back later because of something urgent. , let me tell you that I can't help you with your homework today. " "What a coincidence?" Song Jiawen looked a little disappointed, but Du Yan could clearly see the trace of joy on her lips. "Well, Master, I am. Go back." "Can you go back alone?" Feng Ziming looked at the dark sky outside with some concern. "Isn't there someone here? Just ask him to take me back." Song Jiawen suddenly looked at Du Yan, her eyes blinking, but her look in Du Yan's eyes always seemed to be wrong. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua New Star" Chapter 39 Chapter 38 Changganxing After leaving Feng Ziming's house and looking at the gradually darkening sky outside, Du Yan frowned secretly. In order to visit Feng Ziming nearby, Zhao Xiaoyun arranged for Du Yan to stay in a hotel not far from Jinghua University. Although the campus is huge, if you walk alone, it won't take long. After passing through several teaching buildings and getting on the bus that has just been opened to run through the campus, it's not too far. But when he saw Song Jiawen following him, Du Yan frowned. He didn't think he had the obligation to send Song Jiawen home. When he thought about it, Song Jiawen would either take a public car home by herself, or call someone to pick her up. There was no need for her to walk with him. He took the initiative to send her off by himself, and he was by no means idle. For such a little girl who was still in her rebellious stage, Du Yan thought it would be better to have less contact with them except for his sister Du Fei. Watching Du Yan walking towards Xiaoximen, Song Jiawen who followed behind was quite honest. The two of them just walked along the path between several teaching buildings. There was a "squeaking" sound, but no one spoke. The sky was getting darker and darker, and walking on the road became more difficult. Du Yan slowed down his pace slightly. When he saw Song Jiawen behind him, although she was panting a little, she didn't complain. He felt that this girl was not like she was at Feng Ziming's house. bad temper. Seeing that he was about to reach Xiaoximen in the distance, Du Yan turned around and said, "If you take a few steps quickly, you might be able to catch an oncoming bus." "The evening bus doesn't stop there," Song Jiawen said a little strangely. He looked at Du Yan, "So you don't know. After six o'clock in the evening, the evening bus will go around the freshmen building. We have to go to Xiaoximen to get on the bus." "Really? I really don't know. I know." Seeing Song Jiawen panting, Du Yan felt a little guilty. He originally thought that Song Jiawen was going to do something weird, but he heard that he had to go out of Xiaoximen to get on the bus, so Du Yan just I understood why Song Jiawen had to let her go. Although the security at this time was pretty good and it was on campus, after all, the Xiaoximen side was very remote, and at this time, there were no such people along the Xiaoximen road of Jinghua University. It is a very famous student bar street, so it is understandable that Song Jiawen is a little scared. "Then I'll take you off to Xiaoximen." Du Yan nodded to Song Jiawen, and this time his steps were much slower. For a while, the two of them walked on the snowy ground full of white snow, and Du Yan also Take your time to admire the buildings that have been famous for a long time and the traces of sages who can be seen everywhere. But Du Yan didn't notice that when he heard him talking about Xiao Ximen, a strange smile flashed across Song Jiawen's fair and tender face. "Xiao Ximen said it was not far, but walking in the snow was already so exhausting that I was out of breath by the time I arrived. Today, the streets outside Xiaoximen of Jinghua University cannot be said to be quiet, but they are not that good. In addition, it is the Chinese New Year, so many people go home as early as possible, so except for a few shops facing the street, Most of them have been closed and locked. From a distance, except for the street lights still flickering, they look blank. On the other hand, on the faintly shimmering Orchid Lake in the distance, there are silhouettes of people and a bit of life. "We still have to go forward, the station is far away." Song Jiawen took a few steps forward and looked back at Du Yan who was following behind. A hint of teasing flashed in her eyes, but it was hidden under her neat bangs. Du Yan had no doubt that he was there and walked forward behind Song Jiawen. Several figures in the distance appeared on the opposite side, and a shorter person walking at the front suddenly called out to Song Jiawen who was walking: "Xiaowen, is that you?" "Zou Min, come here. Come on!" Song Jiawen suddenly shouted happily, and she trotted towards those people, like a deer jumping in the snow. Coming towards her were several male and female students about the same age as Song Jiawen. They all seemed to be full of youthful and lively atmosphere. However, the center of these children was obviously Song Jiawen. As soon as she walked over, the children were already surrounding her. In the middle, Song Jiawen was just chatting away with another girl wearing a cute yellow plush bicorn hat. From their clothing and behavior, Du Yan was sure that these were a group of prostitutes, and these children were obviously led by Song Jiawen. "Well, you have a companion, and it's time for me to go back." Du Yan said to Song Jiawen, who kept chatting with his companion and seemed to have forgotten him. "Oh, don't go. Where do you live?" Song Jiawen turned around and asked Du Yan. "Yidu Hotel." Du Yan replied casually. He could tell that the children seemed to be a little hostile to him. Speaking of which, he could understand. Children of this age are the most rebellious. Once they become his own children, Groups tend to be very exclusive.Especially if the pretty girls among them meet men outside the circle, they will immediately become the target of hostility regardless of their age. Compared with these children, even at their current age, Du Yan regarded them as just a group of unruly children who have not yet grown up, not to mention that they have already experienced the ups and downs of adults, so although the eyes of those boys looked at them somewhat unkindly, , but Du Yan didn't take them seriously. "Who is Jiawen? She's so cool." A tall southern boy came over and looked at Du Yan and asked Song Jiawen. "Did you call me Jiawen?" Song Jiawen's face suddenly darkened. She glared at the boy and pulled the rubber Zou Min's female companion to Du Yan. "I said the same for you. When you come to the capital, you only stay in hotels. How boring. Why don't you go out with us to play? There are a lot of fun places in the sports village at night. " After hearing Song Jiawen's words, Du Yan frowned slightly. He knew that with the Asian Games held last year, the northwest of the capital was originally quite crowded. As a remote piece of land, it was taken advantage of to be developed. With the gradual improvement of various supporting facilities, although it cannot be compared with the lively entertainment places in Sijiu City, the fresher and more diverse entertainment venues are very popular among people who pursue novelty and fashion. Young people welcome. Du Yan originally didn't care where Song Jiawen was going, but since he promised Feng Ziming, even if he couldn't send her home, he would at least watch her get on the bus. As for where Song Jiawen went after getting on the bus, he didn't care. No, but now that he knew she was going to get sidetracked, Du Yan couldn't ignore it. "I promised Professor Feng to take you to the station, but I didn't say I would let you go out and play casually." Du Yan frowned slightly. He knew that preaching to rebellious teenagers of this age was of little use, but he couldn't do it himself. Just let her eldest daughter go out and have fun with a group of half-grown children. Not to mention that he was still responsible for how much he gave her, but because Qiao Luowei and Song Jiayi were somewhat kind to him, he had to at least ask about it. "You still agreed?" The boy next to him curled his lips, "You still want to learn from the ancients, do you still have to keep your faith and wait for it?" After the boy said it weirdly, several other children followed suit and laughed. , Du Yan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Sun Yu, what are you talking nonsense about?" The girl named Zou Min yelled angrily, "That is a description of the love between men and women. Can it be used randomly on Jiawen? What are you talking about?" "Ah?" The boy couldn't help but be stunned. , he looked at Song Jiawen with an ugly face at a loss, and asked with confusion, "Well, isn't that from Tian Long Ba Bu? That so-and-so read it to Duan Yu" "It was used in Tian Long Ba Bu. This is "Always keep letters holding pillars, how can you forget to trust your father-in-law?" However, it was borrowed by Jin Yong. The original sentence is from Li Bai's sentence in Changqianxing, "How can you go to the Wangfu Tower if you always keep letters holding pillars", which is about young people. The unwavering love between a man and a woman cannot be used casually." Du Yanxiao looked at the dumbfounded boy, "Little brother, it won't hurt to read more in the future." The boy's face suddenly turned red, and he looked a little uneasy. Looking at Song Jiawen, seeing Song Jiawen's eyes looking over with anger, he immediately turned his head and looked elsewhere. "You really have read a lot of books, right?" Song Jiawen didn't get angry at the boy, but looked at Du Yan curiously, "You can tell that it comes from that poem just by saying something? Or do you only read this kind of thing?" Poetry?" Du Yan secretly shook his head. Although girls today are not as frivolous and open-minded as they were ten years ago, their gossip-loving nature is no different from those many years ago. "Let's not stand here and get cold, okay? There's a New Year's all-night opening over at Blue Point, let's go there too." Zou Min kept pacing on the snow, put his hands to his mouth to warm them with breath, and then she She whispered to Song Jiawen, "I heard that Wang Ziqin and the others said that they would treat Blue Point as their own gathering place from now on." "Blue Point is not from their first high school, so why should it belong to them?" Song Jiawen immediately became unhappy. asked, and then she turned around and said to Du Yan impatiently, "It's up to you. Anyway, I don't want to go home now. Someone is trying to pick a fight with us. I have to go and settle them." Then she turned and left. Hearing Song Jiawen's talk about the world, Du Yan really felt that these children now had no future. Although he knew that the Wang Ziqin they were talking about was probably not a very vicious person, he still felt that just letting him go like this It would be inappropriate for Song Jiawen to leave. "Have you thought about it?" Song Jiawen, who had already taken a few steps, suddenly turned around and asked Du Yan, "Have you thought about it? If I go and be bullied, and you, the escort, are not around, what will happen then?" Are you on behalf of my master?" Looking at Song Jiawen's evil smile as if she was grasping something for him, Du Yan couldn't help but feel that the Song family was not a fuel-efficient person.   Since the sports village gradually emerged, the place has gradually become more lively. Some investors with unique vision, vision, and courage have taken a fancy to the huge business potential of Lanhu Back Street in the future. Not only many businesses have already People have started to seize the land one after another. Some entertainment venues that have spotted the momentum of this area and are preparing to serve students from several nearby universities have also opened their doors. Blue Dot is one of the earliest large-scale discos opened in the back streets of Lanhu. Although in Du Yan's opinion, the decoration of Blue Dot at this time was a bit outdated, in the early 1990s, Blue Dot's unique style characterized by its name and dark blue as the decorative tone still attracted many young students from nearby schools. . Walking into Blue Dot, the children immediately became active. Some danced to the deafening melody, while others swayed back and forth with dance steps that no one knew where they had learned. Song Jiawen was quite calm. She didn't care that Zou Min beside her was shaking her hands in excitement because of the music. She just looked back at Du Yan as she walked, as if she was afraid of losing him. Finally finding an empty spot next to a pillar covered with various colored light bulbs, Song Jiawen stopped and gently unbuttoned her coat. She saw that she was wearing a stretch shirt that had the shape of two dolls and a good fit. Du Yan couldn't help but think of Zhao Xiaoyun. Song Jiawen seemed to have been paying attention to Du Yan's expression. When she saw Du Yan looking at her, she turned slightly. Du Yan had to admit that from the side, although Song Jiawen was not very old, she had a good figure. But the scale has already been issued. "Jiawen, look, it's Wang Ziqin!" Zou Min suddenly pointed to a slightly protruding small platform in the distance and shouted loudly while waving his hands. After taking a closer look, she said loudly in a somewhat unbelievable tone, " Isn't that Dong Hao? Why are Dong Hao and Wang Ziqin together? " Zou Min's shout immediately attracted the attention of several young men and women. They stood on tiptoes and looked at the small platform. Song Jiawen looked over. "That's right, it's Dong Hao. No wonder he said something was wrong when we called him out before. He's a traitor." The boy named Sun Yu kept hurting him as if he finally found a chance, but the more he talked about Song Jia, Wen's expression became even uglier. Later, Song Jiawen simply folded her arms and leaned against the pillar, her eyes only staring at the back of Sun Yu who was blocking the front. This way the other children couldn't help but stare at Sun Yu. color. Finally feeling Song Jiawen's unhappy look, Sun Yu hid to the side a bit. However, as soon as he stepped aside, Du Yan, who was standing behind, also saw the two teenagers talking in a low voice on the small platform in the distance. Men and women, although their faces could not be clearly seen, they looked to be about the same age as Song Jiawen and the others. Looking at the ugly expression of Song Jiawen next to him, Du Yan estimated that she was probably a young man and woman, still full of ignorance and hazy first love. "Do you know each other?" Du Yan and Song Jiawen asked, leaning side by side on the pillar. "What do you care?" Song Jiawen replied angrily, and then snorted, "You are going to say that you can't fall in love when you are in school. Why are you like those old bosses at your young age? Are you future?" "You know, old man?" "How do you know I have to teach you a lesson?" Du Yan smiled softly, "Let me tell you something, my girlfriend and I have known each other since we were in elementary school, and then we went to middle school. , when we were in high school, the teacher asked our parents countless times because of our puppy love, but the two of us just refused to break up, and in the end even the school had nothing to do with us. " Du Yan said, thinking of his past and present life with Su Qian, and then the two of them. After all the hardships he had experienced in his life, a hint of tenderness could not help but appear in his eyes. Lang came riding a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums. Living together for a long time, the two children have no doubts. Li Bai, the commander-in-chief, described himself and Su Qian. Du Yan felt inexplicably missing him at this moment. When he thought of missing Su Qian and not knowing when he would meet again, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. "You have a girlfriend?" Song Jiawen looked at Du Yan with a strange look, "Is it an official girlfriend? Are you going to marry her?" Is it still a one-night stand? Du Yan almost asked this question. He nodded in response to Song Jiawen's strange look, but saw the corners of Song Jiawen's mouth moving slightly, and there was something vaguely strange on her face. At this time, a DJ wearing a vest full of two pieces suddenly walked down from the music stage. He walked up to the platform with a small box and announced loudly in a loud voice: "Dear friends, today is the day for us to have fun all night long. On the first day of the night! I announced a game. All the lanterns have been numbered in series. We will randomly draw a number, and the lantern with the number drawn will light up! I am honored to challenge our disco king today!" As he spoke, the DJ pointed his hand quickly at the young man and woman next to him, and then he shouted loudly: "Now, start drawing numbers! " In an instant, the entire disco was cheering, and countless voices shouted at the same time. Even the deafening music before was drowned out! Suddenly, with a heavy drum beat, the DJ shouted: "The number is selected! Turn on the lights! ¡± In an instant, in addition to the surrounding auxiliary lights, several of the largest lighting lights went out in an instant. Just as the disco became dark, a huge light pillar rose into the sky in a corner! The dazzling light shone all around instantly. Go, and at the same time, a pair of young men and women, leaning side by side on the lamppost and "looking at each other affectionately", appeared in everyone's sight! Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua New Star" Chapter 40 Chapter 39 Powerful Figures The sudden light shrouded Du Yan and Song Jiawen in a colorful light. In addition, the two stood so close. The man lowered his head slightly, while the girl raised her face slightly upward, looking at each other silently. Anyone would get the wrong impression if they looked like that. They should be talking to each other at this moment, and they might even be kissing passionately. Seeing such a scene, a large number of whistles suddenly erupted in the disco. Although people in this era are not so open, and kissing on the spot seems a bit shocking, but in this generation of the Capital University District, which is known for cultivating elites, everyone All kinds of avant-garde ideas have already taken root, so even if we see a more popular scene at this time, it will only cause a greater sensation. Song Jiawen was a little dazed by this sudden accident. She looked back at the crowd and found that she and Du Yan had become the focus of people's attention inexplicably. When the light hit her raised face, her face Although she is still a little childish, she has already brought out the beautiful appearance of the beauty, which caused a roar of applause from all around! The girl who was standing on the platform in the distance with a proud face suddenly dropped her face when she saw Song Jiawen. She turned to look at the boy next to her who also had a look of astonishment and a trace of obvious jealousy. Suddenly He grabbed the microphone from the DJ next to him and shouted a challenge to Song Jiawen who was standing under the lamppost in the distance: "Today is the King of Dance challenge. If you feel unsure, don't come up. If you come up, you must I'm willing to admit defeat!" Song Jiawen stared at the girl from a distance with an ugly face. She looked at the boy next to her, but was disappointed to find that his eyes were looking away. "Jiawen, let's go up and compete with them." Sun Yu squeezed over and said hastily. He glanced at Du Yan, but these children who already had a high family status and were immersed in the consciousness of Huang Chenggen all year round In my eyes, this 'outsider' who is a few years older than me is not necessarily a country bumpkin who came from some ravine. He may have just entered a disco for the first time, let alone this kind of disco that has just become popular in the capital. Dou Wu, if it weren't for Song Jiawen's unclear relationship with him, these children wouldn't even bother to talk to him. Sun Yu looked at Song Jiawen eagerly. In fact, he was very nervous at this time. He had already had a crush on Song Jiawen, who was beautiful and had a prominent family background. Even his parents made an exception and acquiesced to it after they knew about it. And for their family background For children, it is difficult to avoid early, because of their status, they have learned the sophistication and ability of adults, and also learned how to use all the resources available around them. For this boy named Sun Yu, It is said that being able to pursue Song Jiawen means not only having her beauty, but also the huge help it may bring to him in the future. It's a pity that Song Jiawen has always had a crush on the boy named Dong Hao. There have even been rumors in Jinghua High School that Song Jiawen and Dong Hao are a couple, so now it's a rare opportunity in a lifetime to get close to Song Jiawen and attack Dong Hao. Of course, Sun Yu couldn't let this opportunity go to waste. Song Jiawen glared at Sun Yu with her big black and white eyes filled with aura. Although she was still young, her family's influence made her become much more mature than her peers very early. She naturally knew that Sun Yu was What was her intention when she came over? Although she was surprised that Dong Hao actually stood with her old enemy to create the atmosphere, she didn't want to just take advantage of Sun Yu. "Forget it, let's go." Song Jiawen whispered to the gathered companions. If she and Wang Ziqin had gradually become rivals just because of the competition in their respective schools, now they looked at the boy she had a crush on. Standing next to Wang Ziqin who looked proud but didn't even look at herself, Song Jiawen felt like she was completely defeated. "Let's forget it? From now on, the High School Affiliated to the First High School will not be able to stand on our heads and shit on us?" Zou Min said dissatisfied, "Besides, Jiawen is still afraid of that Wang Ziqin with your ability? The last time the two schools competed, Are you going to make her look good? Go up and teach her a lesson, let them know that the real dance king is in our Jinghua High School. Who is the male dancer? Sun Yu or you? Dong Hao?" Song Jiawen asked angrily, not to mention that she didn't want to deal with Sun Yu, even if she really accepted the challenge, there was no one on their side who could compare with Dong Hao, who was known as the number one male dancer in the two affiliated high schools. Dancer. "I'll do it." Du Yan, who had been standing by and listening, spoke up. From the discussions of these children, he had roughly understood what was going on. It was originally just a healthy competition between students from two university-affiliated middle schools, but it slightly changed its flavor due to the inclusion of some other reasons, including There is the vanity of children, and there may also be conflicts caused by factional struggles between adults and parents. Du Yan, who originally didn¡¯t want to get involved in the affairs of these children, felt unwilling to see Song Jiawen, and looked at the platform from time to time with grievances in his eyes.The look of tears showed that he could understand her mood at this time, so after thinking about it for a moment, he decided to help this little girl. "You? You can dance?" The suspicious eyes of several children immediately focused on Du Yan. Sun Yu simply asked in a contemptuous tone. If he didn't really know the relationship between Du Yan and Song Jiawen, he would have said ugly words. Exited. "Children these days," Du Yan smiled secretly in his heart. He ignored Sun Yu and looked at Song Jiawen, "What? You don't even have the guts to compete with them? Or are you afraid of facing him?" Knowing Du What was he talking about? Song Jiawen raised her eyebrows and before she could speak, the girl on the platform said impatiently: "Are you guys competing? If you don't have the guts, leave as soon as possible. From now on, Blue Dot will belong to our top high school. As long as If we come, you guys from Jinghua High School will have to step aside." The girl's words obviously irritated Song Jiawen. She hesitated for a moment and then took Du Yan's arm and walked to the platform: "It's a competition, isn't it? Is it embarrassing to lose? I would rather have you beaten to death than scared to death." Du Yan smiled slightly and just continued to speak, but Song Jiawen suddenly pulled his arm into his arms. "Don't let me go for a while. Just listen to me." Walking onto the platform, the girl named Wang Ziqin looked at Song Jiawen with provocative eyes and looked Du Yan up and down. Speaking of which, Du Yan's attire is indeed inappropriate. He wears a dark coat and a navy blue double-breasted suit. Although he looks mature and steady, it looks nondescript in a place like a disco. "Song Jiawen, can't you tell? You found yourself a secretary before you even started working." Wang Ziqin looked at Du Yan, who was being held by Song Jiawen's arm, mockingly. "I asked you, little comrade, which ministry do you work for?" Huh? How many years have you been a member of the party? " Wang Ziqin's sarcastic smile immediately caused laughter around him. People found it interesting, as they had never seen anyone in a disco wearing such formal clothes. Song Jiawen really regretted bringing Du Yan to the stage, but now she was riding a tiger and it was hard to get off. Besides, when she saw Dong Hao, who kept looking towards her even though he didn't speak, she felt angry and didn't care so much anymore. "You don't care where he works. He's not much older than you and is already the mayor. Don't you have to rely on your father's intercession to avoid repeating the grade?" Song Jiawen retorted. Wang Ziqin's face instantly turned red. Although academic performance is not very important to people like them, Song Jiawen couldn't bear it when she said it in front of so many people: "It turns out he is a rural cadre. "Song Jiawen, you're so cheap that you even brought countrymen from out of town." "You!" Song Jiawen stepped forward angrily, but was held back by Du Yan. "Aren't you going to dance? Why are you talking so much?" Du Yan, who had been silent for a long time, pulled Song Jiawen. Looking closer, this girl named Wang Ziqin was pretty good-looking, and Du Yan vaguely felt that As if he had seen her somewhere, he took off his coat and suit jacket and threw them to Sun Yu who was standing aside. "Hold it to me. The things inside are important. If they are lost, I will look for you." Sun Yu couldn't help but He was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this young man from out of town who he looked down on would dare to talk to him like this. Before he could wake up, he looked up and unexpectedly found that Du Yan suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Song Jiawen with him neatly. Into the arms! That action, no matter how you look at it, looks like there are a few brushes "Okay, now I announce that the Blue Dot Happy All-Night Dance Competition has officially begun! Oh!" DJ, who had been waiting for this atmosphere, shouted, and then Yelled. With the powerful heavy metal music blasting loudly in the disco, the whole disco immediately fell into joy! Wang Ziqin glared at Song Jiawen, turned around and winked at Dong Hao, who had been standing silently beside him. Seeing that Dong Hao didn't seem to pay attention to her, she immediately raised her hand and pushed Dong Hao's chest. This action seemed to arouse Dong Hao's heart. Looking at Song Jiawen being held in Du Yan's arms, he turned around and grabbed Wang Ziqin. As the steps under his feet spread rapidly, the two of them stepped forward quickly. Turn on the dance move and dance in the center of the platform! Although discotheques had sprung up in many places at this time, they were still incomparable with those of later generations. Whether it was the music style or the types of dance moves, they were a bit naive in Du Yan's opinion, not to mention those of later generations that were played by countless hip-hop people. There is no trace of crazy hip-hop dance. Even MJ¡¯s space dance, which has already become popular around the world, does not have many people in mainland China. Song Jiawen looked at Du Yan angrily. She knew that she was in trouble today. The breath that she had held back when she came up immediately collapsed after seeing Wang Ziqin and Dong Hao's skillful cooperation. She just wanted to end it as soon as possible. This embarrassing ordeal, and then go home and cry alone. Just when she was thinking this, suddenly, her body moved again, but??Du Yan took her hand and left, leading her body to promote it. At the same time, under Du Yan's constant guidance, Song Jiawen found that she was spinning in the field with Du Yan in a dance step she had never used before. Get up! "Relax yourself, let yourself go, don't want to learn those things, dance how you like!" Du Yan shouted loudly in Song Jiawen's ear, twisting his wrist, pulling Song Jiawen's soft and smooth little hand. He kept spinning and jumping for joy. Sometimes he would slide forward, and sometimes after pushing Song Jiawen's small body out, he would suddenly pull it back, causing her tender body to explode in the air in an instant, surprising the entire audience. A sensational and beautiful arc! Song Jiawen was completely dumbfounded. She never thought that this young man, whom she thought was just a small cadre from the countryside, would have such unexpected dancing skills. What's even more strange is that these dances were the same ones she had performed in magazines and TV shows before. , which has never been seen in the National Dance Theater. This dance is very casual, even casual, as if it is just jumping along with the melody, but every step, every turn, and even every gesture is exactly accompanied by bursts of power and rhythm formed by the melody. The body rotated outward again, and Song Jiawen felt the colorful light ball above her head keep rotating. The next moment, a pair of hands suddenly overlapped from behind and wrapped around the waist of her seventeen-year-old girl, squeezing her breasts in front of her. With the heat coming from her belly, Song Jiawen felt that her body was suddenly lifted up. As a storm of whistles came from all around, she felt that the entire disco had turned upside down. When the long hair on the back of her head completely hung down, When they were scattered on the platform, she saw Du Yan's face looking down at her from above. The whole disco was boiling. People were swaying with the two couples on the stage. Later, many people stopped and just looked at the novel dance steps of Du Yan and Song Jiawen. Whenever Song Jiawen danced in front of Du Yan, Under the leadership of Du Yan, people made astonishing moves, and people shouted loudly and whistled. When they finally saw Song Jiawen with her waist hanging almost like a rainbow in Du Yan's arms, and her long black hair The bright light and shadow that passed through the air like a splash of ink caused a thunderous applause in the disco! Applause, whistles and shouts were still ringing in the disco. At this time, Zou Min and others could no longer bear it and ran onto the platform. They surrounded Du Yan and Song Jiawen and couldn't help shouting and laughing, especially Zou Min. Min, even held Du Yan's arm as if to kiss him. "You dance so well, can you be our choreographer in the future?" Zou Min kept shouting, "Where did you learn this dance step? Why have we never seen it before?" Zou Min kept shouting. Du Yan asked, wiping the sweat from his head. He had not danced this dance step for a long time, but after he started dancing, he realized that apart from being a little unfamiliar at first, he quickly became familiar with it again, especially at the end, When he held Song Jiawen's body and spun in the air, he even felt as if he was holding that familiar figure again. "Han Bing, can you imagine that many years from now, you will meet someone who is destined not to give you happiness?" A trace of sadness suddenly appeared in the excitement, and Du Yan couldn't help but feel uninterested for a moment. "Okay, Dou The dance is over, it's almost time to leave. " "They haven't given up yet." Zou Min looked at Wang Ziqin and the others, who were glaring proudly. Wang Ziqin, who had always been livid, glared fiercely. Seeing her opponent's proud eyes, she finally couldn't bear it and pushed away Dong Hao who was standing next to her. She took a few steps and walked to Song Jiawen and said angrily: "Song Jiawen, you are You are so cunning, are you trying to lie to me?" She pointed at Du Yan and asked loudly, "What kind of township cadre? He is an actor in the National Dance Troupe, right? You know that I invited Dong Hao to play at Blue Point today, and you are so angry. Are you going to find an actor from a dance troupe to mess with me?" Wang Ziqin's question angered Zou Min. Before Song Jiawen could speak, Zou Min took a step forward and said sarcastically to Wang Ziqin: "If you lose, you lose. , It¡¯s you who want to dance, and you¡¯re the one who wants to draw lots. How do we, Jiawen, know that the lights will turn on wherever she stands? Why can¡¯t we be objective?¡± Wang Ziqin, who was robbed, couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. She In fact, she also knew that she was being unreasonable, but the depression of being overshadowed by Song Jiawen made her unable to calm down. "Vixen! Just like your vixen sister-in-law! They are all seducers!" Wang Ziqin couldn't help but cursed in anger. "Pa!", a loud slap that could be faintly heard even with the rumbling music, slapped Wang Ziqin hard on the face! Song Jiawen's face was red, whether it was grievance or anger. Her bright red lips trembled slightly, and her big black and white eyes stared at Wang Ziqin: "How dare you curse again?!" "You fox" Wang Ziqin moved forward reluctantlyShe opened her mouth to curse, but suddenly her shoulders were held down from behind! "Xiaoqin, don't hurt anyone with your words." A voice that didn't sound loud, but was still heard by everyone around him, sounded from behind Wang Ziqin. Wang Ziqin, who was about to rush forward to fight Song Jiawen, turned around. When she saw the person coming, her face immediately changed color: "Third uncle!" When she heard Wang Ziqin calling her third uncle, Du Yan looked up. Looking at the other party, his heart couldn't help but tremble! This is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his thirties but less than forty, with a moderate build and a handsome face. It is strange to say that this man is wearing a well-made Mao suit. Unlike Du Yan, even though his clothes were out of place in a place like a disco, they could still bring out his unique temperament. Behind him stood a burly man. With just one glance, Du Yan was sure that this man should have the same identity as Lao Chai next to Song Jiayi. And Du Yan also knew that this person was definitely qualified to provide bodyguards. Because, he is Wang Bingchen! With the passage of time, in the eyes of the world, Wang Bingchen will change from the current high-ranking ministerial official to the external affairs minister, then the feudal official, and finally he will enter the central sequence representing the highest power of the party and the country. But in the view of Du Yan, who has had the opportunity of two lifetimes, Wang Bingchen also has another identity that many people will not know at this time, that is, the direct manipulator who killed the career of Yang Weiquan, the executive deputy governor of Hexi Province! And Wang Bingchen¡¯s own official career was only launched after strangling Yang Weiquan. It can be said that Wang Bingchen stepped on the body of Yang Weiquan¡¯s fallen political corpse and walked up! Du Yan couldn't help but feel surprised when he suddenly saw Wang Bingchen. He didn't expect that this trip to the capital would have such an unexpected "gain". Observing Wang Bingchen from a close distance, Du Yan had to admit that this "Wang Sanshao" was indeed a popular figure among the young talents in the capital. He indeed had a certain sense of elegance. Then look at Wang Ziqin, who called Wang Bingchen his third uncle. Only then did Du Yan remember why Wang Ziqin looked familiar to him just now, but it was because he had seen photos of this Wang family lady on the Internet, and stories about her. Some negative news that doesn¡¯t sound so pleasant to say. "Xiaowen, you secretly ran out to play with your family behind your back?" Wang Bingchen smiled and looked at Song Jiawen, who had become quiet since his appearance. "She is almost in her third year of high school. If she doesn't study hard, she will not be able to compete with our little one." Is it like Qin to ask your sister-in-law to intercede in order to escalate? " "Third uncle" Wang Ziqin whispered in embarrassment, but it was obvious that she was very afraid of this third uncle, but she did not dare to show any dissatisfaction or perversity. . "It's useless to call you Third Uncle. Go home and study hard. If you repeat the grade, no one will intercede for you." Although Wang Bingchen had a smile on his face, the natural majesty made Wang Ziqin lower his head. Wang Bingchen turned to look at Dong Hao standing next to him, and the smile in his eyes slowly faded: "Your name is Dong Hao, a student from the High School Affiliated to Jingda University?" "Yes, yes, Minister Wang." Dong Hao answered nervously. Then, he knew that Wang Ziqin had a third uncle who was the deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture. As a precocious child with a grassroots background, Dong Hao envied those children of high-ranking officials, but also resented the privileges they had. Although he is young, he has a sharp mind. After trying his best to get close to Song Jiawen to win her favor, and after hearing that Wang Ziqin's family seems to be more powerful, he took the opportunity of the competition to get close to Wang Ziqin, but in person When dealing with those rumored big shots, this boy with deep scheming found that they seemed to have seen through him with just a casual glance. "Go to school well in the future and don't always use crooked ideas. Young people must know how to behave." Wang Bingchen said lightly, and then ignored Dong Hao, who was already turning blue, and said to Song Jiawen in a pleasant manner: "Okay I won¡¯t talk about you anymore. Let Dahai take you home.¡± Then he said, ¡°Please ask your brother and your sister-in-law for me.¡± ¡°Thank you, Minister Wang, no need to trouble you!¡± A crisp voice came from the crowd. When she heard this voice, Song Jiawen wanted to hide behind Du Yan, but to her surprise, Du Yan seemed to be about to do the same, and the two people's shoulders bumped into each other. together. "Both of you, come here!" Zhao Xiaoyun put his hands on his hips and stared at the two people in front of him with a dark face. "Okay, you, one went to study, the other went to pay a visit, and then the two of you came out together, how could you come here?" Are you here? " "Sister Xiaoyun" Song Jiawen called out pitifully, which made Zhao Xiaoyun's tense face relax slightly. "Sister Xiaoyun" No one expected that Du Yan would also shout.   Hearing Du Yan call "Sister Xiaoyun", Zhao Xiaoyun couldn't help but be stunned, and then couldn't help but laugh. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua New Star" Chapter 41 Chapter 40 The Dust Has Settled After saying hello to Wang Bingchen, Zhao Xiaoyun led Song Jiawen and Du Yan out of Blue Point. The group of children who came with Song Jiawen also ran out closely behind. Wang Ziqin's third uncle was inside. Who Do you dare to have trouble with Wang Ziqin again? "The strange thing is that the boy named Dong Hao also silently followed these children out of the blue dot, but once outside, Dong Hao lowered his head and wanted to leave quietly. "Wait a minute!" Zou Min shouted, which attracted the attention of several children. They looked at Dong Hao, and then they all showed contempt and disdain. "You just left like that?" Zou Min asked loudly, looking at Song Jiawen who was silent, Zou Min suddenly said to Zhao Xiaoyun, "He bullied Jiawen and even molested her." "Zou Min!" Song Jiawen shouted in surprise. She made a sound, but before she had time to explain, Zhao Xiaoyun who heard this suddenly rushed forward. As she grabbed Dong Hao's shoulders and twisted his waist, Dong Hao was already screaming and fell on his head and face. Twisted down in the snow! "Sister Xiaoyun! Let go of Dong Hao!" Song Jiawen was almost crying. She shouted to Zhao Xiaoyun, but Zhao Xiaoyun didn't listen at all. Even her hand quickly touched the back of her waist, which made her very familiar with her. Du Yan was startled by this action and grabbed her wrist from behind! "Calm down Xiaoyun, don't make trouble, it doesn't sound good!" Zhao Xiaoyun looked back at Du Yan and calmed down. She nodded and signaled Du Yan to let go of her hand that was about to draw the gun, and then she lifted her hand and looked at the man's high horse. However, Dong Hao, who was already pale with fright, pushed him forward: "Follow me!" "I, I didn't do anything!" Dong Hao was completely frightened at this time. When he was in other schools, he won the favor of many girls by virtue of his handsome appearance and intelligence. However, after entering Jingda High School, he found that the world here was completely different from the world he was familiar with before. He began to use his advantage to deliberately get close to girls with prominent family backgrounds but who were still naive and romantic. Years of living at the bottom of the class made Dong Hao more aware of what he was pursuing. But tonight's short experience made him seem to understand that his little cleverness was not worth mentioning in the eyes of some people. Even people like Zou Min, who he thought were only successful because of his good relationship with Song Jiawen, A kid from a bureaucrat's family who is doing well in school can now become a person whose fate can be determined by just one sentence. "Sister Xiaoyun, don't listen to Zou Min's nonsense, he didn't do anything!" Song Jiawen anxiously held Zhao Xiaoyun's hand. She knew that if this matter was heard at home, Dong Hao would definitely not have a good outcome. "Xiaoyun, calm down," Du Yan came over and took Zhao Xiaoyun's arm and whispered to her, "Are you afraid that this kind of thing will not be spread enough? Even if Jiawen is still young, she will be very passive if it is spread." As he said that, he glanced at Dong Hao, who was wiping the snow on his face, but he didn't say something, which might have fulfilled the boy's intention. Du Yan, who previously thought he was just a simple boy and girl ignorant of first love, sighed secretly when he heard Dong Hao call Wang Bingchen "Minister Wang" in the disco. If Dong Hao followed up by calling him "Uncle Three", Du Yan might not be able to notice it, but his words of "Minister Wang" made Du Yan see through the heart of this boy who was only a teenager but had a very deep scheming mind. If he was simply dating Wang Ziqin, how could he blurt out and call Wang Ziqin his uncle and minister when they first met? Even though he only knew about Wang Ziqin because he once showed off his family background, from this sentence alone, we can imagine that this boy is extremely concerned about the family backgrounds of the girls he associates with. Thinking about Dong Hao first interacting with Song Jiawen, and then getting close to Wang Ziqin, it also shows the boy's enthusiasm for a powerful background. At least for many ordinary people who don't know the upper class, the Wang family has produced a deputy prime minister and two ministers. It is obviously much more prominent than the Song family, which has only produced one director of the State Planning Commission. "Xiaoyun, please go back first and let me talk to him." Du Yan winked at Zhao Xiaoyun. He knew that although Dong Hao's actions today had made Song Jiawen see through him, her rebellious character at this age might make her It's better to be wrong than to persist. "Take Xiaowen back first." With that said, Du Yan walked up to Dong Hao, picked him up and walked forward without saying a word. Behind her, Song Jiawen finally did not turn around Zhao Xiaoyun, and was pulled into the waiting car by her. At this time, the street was already very calm. Walking on the white street, there was no romantic atmosphere. There was only the monotonous sound of feet stepping on the snow. "Where are you taking me?" Dong Hao finally couldn't help shouting. He was really scared at this time. He didn't know what this person who was obviously related to the Song family was going to do to him. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Du YanHe stepped down and looked at Dong Hao. The childish and fearful appearance of the boy in front of him did not make him feel pitiful. In Du Yan's view, this child was actually no different from those old fritters who hung around in officialdom and were observant. The only thing missing is opportunity. If he is given the opportunity, this seemingly harmless child will not do anything terrible for the sake of the red crown on his head. "Who is there in your family?" Du Yan asked lightly. Dong Hao was startled by his words. "Don't worry, I have nothing to do with the Song family and I won't cause trouble for you." Du Yan comforted Dong Hao. Seeing him looking at him doubtfully, Du Yan shook his head, "Wang Bingchen is right, you are still young. If you focus on studying, you may not have a promising future, but if you don't keep your duty at a young age, it will only harm you. " "You said it lightly!" Dong Hao suddenly shouted, "My dad is honest. I have been a deputy section chief all my life. I finally got a chance to be promoted to director last year, but a guy from nowhere replaced my dad with just one word! Why are you doing this? What do you want if you don¡¯t do anything? Why is Wang Ziqin so bad at school still promoted to monitor? And Song Jiawen, why can she be the captain of the school debate team just because she has a good father? What? ¡± Listening to Dong Hao¡¯s hysterical questioning, Du Yan was silent as he looked at his eyes that completely exploded from fear to anger. He seemed to see something terrible in this young man. Rage, but it is not just something that this child with an ordinary background has. As time goes by, this kind of hostility will appear in more and more people with ordinary backgrounds, until one day when this kind of child because of his birth status When inequality among people and society becomes more and more common, society will become more and more unstable. Ultimately, the government will have to rely on a powerful machine of violence to maintain the stability of this society! And when this need to maintain stability becomes overridingly important, people will find that this has become a strange paradox - if you do anything for stability, eventually stability itself will become something that can be done at all costs. Some of them were completely overwhelmed! But even so, Du Yan still had no sympathy for Dong Hao. Maybe he and his family had indeed encountered injustice, but these injustices were just excuses used by the child to defend his selfishness. This is a smart child, but he is definitely a child who uses his intelligence in a wrong way. "Go to school well, and don't associate with Song Jiawen anymore," Du Yan said calmly, "If you really want to get ahead, work hard. Remember one sentence, if you are poor, you can be alone, and if you are successful, you can help the world. Rely on your little cleverness. , It will never end well." After saying that, Du Yan ignored Dong Hao who was standing in a daze on the street, turned up his coat collar, and walked towards the station in the distance. The road back to the hotel is still long. The unexpected encounter with Wang Bingchen was not only beyond Du Yan's expectation, but also made him feel a little unreal. In Du Yan's imagination, apart from on TV news, even if he could see Wang Bingchen in person one day, it would be at a certain meeting or when Wang Bingchen inspected the grassroots level, but he never thought that he would see him in such a loudspeaker. In a disco with deafening music, I met this man who was the most anticipated among the descendants of the red family. Unlike Yang Weiquan, who is always determined to make progress, and Song Jiayi, who is obsessed with shopping malls, Wang Bingchen is an extremely low-key person although he is following an official career. In Du Yan's memory, even a long time later, many people are still unfamiliar with Wang Bingchen, the third young master who is a famous theoretical leader among the older generation of revolutionaries in the party. Yang Weiquan was sent to the countryside by his family at a very early age. Although it was said to be gold-plated, he had done some solid work at the grassroots level before. Since he was in his early thirties, Yang Weiquan's official career has been driven by the forces behind him. He worked hard and reached the position of executive vice governor of Hexi Province when he was just over 40 years old. Wang Bingquan, however, remained silent and showed more patience in moving forward step by step. Except for a few short years of grassroots work experience to enrich his resume, Wang Bingchen spent most of his time in the capital's ministries. It is in this kind of wasted time that many people think is just a waste of time with mixed qualifications. Wang Bingchen has quietly weaved a larger and stronger network of relationships for himself. Du Yan has seen enough of these true and false news in the Internet age of information explosion in later generations, but what really impressed him deeply about Wang Bingchen was that he remembered that he was slightly more impressed after having dinner at Ding Bingxian's house in later generations. After drinking two glasses of wine, Ding Bingxian expressed his feelings over the wine and commented on those "political potential stocks" that were not yet optimistic by many people at the time: "Wang Bingchen, if he wins in the future, he will win on the basis of stability."   This sentence later became evidence that Ding Hongwei boasted about his fiery eye for calculations, and Du Yan had to admit that Ding Bingxian's vision was indeed unique! A few days after the minor turmoil in the disco passed, although Du Yan went to Feng Ziming's house from time to time, Du Yan did not see Song Jiawen again. In the past few days, he had become more and more familiar with Feng Ziming. With the contact, Feng Ziming has gradually discovered that many of Du Yan's ideas or theories have more to do with practical operations than just pure research. In terms of pure theory, Du Yan obviously still needs to carry out large-scale research. Make full use of your energy to study. This made Feng Ziming feel excited as if he had found a experimental field. At the same time, he almost asked Du Yan to write down his fragmented ideas and concepts into pieces that were either connected to each other or simply used as rich reports. Memo materials, and then he sorted them out while showing Du Yan some of his theories on economic reform, and then asked him to write a new report based on the two people's different viewpoints. Nearly a week passed like this. During this period, Du Yan once took the time to call Su Qian who was far away in Pingling. Although it could be heard from her voice that Su Qian seemed very happy, Du Yan was vaguely able to She felt that Su Qian was deliberately concealing her anxiety. Zhang Wenliang became the third-ranked full-time deputy secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee. This originally had nothing to do with Du Yan, but when he thought of Zhang Wenliang's son Zhang Tao, Du Yan could feel a burst of pressure. This pressure came not only for him, but also for Su Qian. On the twelfth day of the first lunar month in 1991, I was in the hotel preparing for a lecture arranged by Feng Ziming on how former state-owned enterprises promoted the marketization of state-owned assets while ensuring asset safety. Suddenly, I received a call from Song Jiayi at noon. A call to invite him to dinner. Since arriving in the capital, Du Yan has not seen Song Jiayi again except for having a meal with him. So after receiving the call from Song Jiayi, Du Yan vaguely realized that something should finally come to an end. The person who came to pick up Du Yan was Miss Ou. After getting in the car, Du Yan found that Miss Ou seemed a little uneasy today. Although she was driving, her eyes were mostly straight. If it weren't for the fact that the vehicles on the street at this time could not be as huge as the cars in the capital in later generations. Compared with the torrent, Du Yan believed that Miss Ou would have had at least a few car accidents along the way. Although it seemed that Miss Ou had something on her mind, it was her business after all, and it was not convenient for Du Yan to ask. It was not until she saw Song Jiayi in a quiet Cantonese vegetable garden in Houhai that Miss Ou seemed to wake up. . Song Jiayi still looked like she didn't care about anything, but there always seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in her expression, at least when she saw the plate of the famous Cantonese dish "Kowloon" brought by the waiter, which was full of color, flavor and flavor. When he ascended to heaven," the strange look on his face became even more intense. "Do you know what the ingredients of this Kowloon are?" Song Jiayi tapped the edge of the plate with chopsticks. "If I tell you, you will never eat this dish again in your life. This is probably the so-called gold and jade " "It may not be a waste," Du Yan picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth and took a few bites. "Since the goal is to satisfy the appetite, why bother about what to eat? " Song Jiayi looked at Du Yan like this. She looked like she was eating with gusto. After thinking about it for a moment, she smiled and nodded: "It seems I'm vulgar. Come on, let's have a drink today." After saying that, Song Jiayi picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all. When he was like this, Miss Ou wanted to speak, but she still didn't make a sound. Looking at the two people in front of him, Du Yan clearly felt that they both seemed to have something on their minds, but it was neither convenient for him to ask, nor was there any need to accompany Song Jiayi to drink with him to relieve his worries, so Du Yan just sat aside and drank silently. The time on the wine table seemed a bit dull. "Xiaowan will go to Taihua in the next two days." Song Jiayi suddenly said to Du Yan. After being stunned for a while, Du Yan remembered that Miss Ou's real name was Ou Xiaowan, but few people called her that, but he didn't remember it for a while. He turned back and smiled at Miss Ou: "Welcome, Miss Ou, maybe I hope to be with you in the future." Let's continue to cooperate." Miss Ou had a forced smile on her face, but her eyes darkened when she looked at Song Jiayi, and she suddenly lowered her head. After all, she couldn't hold back, and a few tears fell on the white skirt of her chest. But then, Miss Ou stood up and said "I'm sorry" and hurriedly left the table, leaving only Du Yan who looked at this scene in astonishment, and Song Jiayi who silently drank another glass of wine. "I'm getting married." Song Jiayi suddenly said. Hearing Song Jiayi's words, Du Yan sighed softly. Anyone who is not blind will of course know the relationship between Song Jiayi and Ou Xiaowan. Song Jiayi YearShe is still young and has not yet started a family. Ou Xiaowan must have done her best by staying with him these years, and the relationship between the two is relatively deep. It is not just a simple relationship between a boss and a female secretary. But once Song Jiayi gets married, Ou Xiaowan's status will also be It's embarrassing. Although a family like the Song family should not care about this kind of thing, if Song Jiayi's fianc¨¦e's natal family is unhappy with Ou Xiaowan, things will be somewhat troublesome. What's more, Ou Xiaowan is a woman after all. Seeing Song Jiayi getting married and starting a family, He was alone, and he might do something embarrassing to everyone when he got excited, so it was probably because of this that Song Jiayi got married, but Ou Xiaowan was sent to Taihua. This reminded Du Yan of Qiao Luowei. Why was Qiao Luowei exiled to Taihua? Taihua, an inland city, seems to have become a remote wilderness where the Song family despised dissenters. "I'm sorry Xiaowan," Song Jiayi picked up the wine bottle again and prepared to pour wine, but found that it was empty. He turned around and picked up another bottle from the small table next to him, unscrewed the lid and filled the glass, "Come on, let's have a good drink with my buddy. One, you may not have this opportunity in the future." Looking at Song Jiayi's expression that always seemed to be vaguely sarcastic, Du Yan silently pushed the half-empty wine glass in front of him and watched him fill it up. "I heard that you met the third child of the Wang family a few days ago?" Song Jiayi leaned back in his chair while drinking wine and looked at Du Yan with a half-smile, "Just say whatever you feel, and don't worry about anyone accusing you of making unreasonable comments." The crime of a senior state cadre." Facing Song Jiayi's strange look, Du Yan thought for a moment and said lightly: "Ha!" Song Jiayi laughed and slapped his hand on the table. Third Young Master, in the eyes of Secretary Du, you are just a "person"? If this spreads out, you will probably become famous in Sijiu City. " Du Yan ignored Song Jiayi's sarcastic and complimentary words. After he took a sip of wine, he looked at Song Jiayi seriously, knowing that there must be more to come. Sure enough, Song Jiayi's expression gradually became serious. He looked at Du Yan for a while and said in a calm tone: "Xiaowen is my father's youngest child and my grandfather's favorite granddaughter. This time, the Song family owes me Your favor." Song Jiayi looked at Du Yan and his eyes slowly became clearer. He carefully observed Du Yan's face and saw that Du Yan seemed not to be moved by his words at all, and his expression slowly relaxed. He turned around and took out a thick document from the bag beside him, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Du Yan: "Look at this." Du Yan leaned over and looked at the document signature on the table. Stunned. Then he picked up the document and started reading it. After reading a paragraph, he turned back to the cover again and looked at the eye-catching red masthead "News Internal Reference Special Issue". "You're not unfamiliar, right?" Song Jiayi pointed to the cover of the special issue, "Is this what you and Feng Ziming have come up with in the past few days?" "It's probably the result of me sorting out and polishing Professor Feng's pen," Du Yan was not modest at all. I believe the Song family also knows why they came to the capital. If they are secretive, they will look down on them. ""On the status and influence of the mastery of basic core technologies of national traditional and high-tech industries in future national strategies", such a broad title, such a big heart," Song Jiayi tapped lightly on the special issue. "You know How much trouble have you caused?" "Causing trouble is out of the question, right?" Du Yan asked with a smile as he took a bite of food. "Brother, your argument is very dangerous. It is not in line with the spirit of some of the people above who advocate usurpationism." Song Jiayi said lightly. Seeing that Du Yan didn't seem to understand the meaning of his words, there was nothing he could do. Speaking of which, if it were anyone else, he would probably not be able to eat the food and wine in front of him even if he didn't wet his pants in fear after hearing Song Jiayi's words. In fact, Du Yan knew very well what Song Jiayi meant by causing trouble. Years of backwardness have made countries that have suddenly opened up full of curiosity and desire for many new things. Especially as the demand for economic development becomes louder and louder, the trend of eagerness to introduce foreign investment and the rush to develop short-term and fast industries has become increasingly obvious. Regarding the introduction of technology and capital from abroad, many people have gone from initial suspicion to blind worship. At the same time, the increase in employment rate brought by foreign investment has also become obvious evidence of the performance of many local party committees and governments. Because of this, a large number of high-consumption, low-tech enterprises have Foreign investment in semi-processing or even pure processing has gradually spread across the country, and many domestic national enterprises that are in conflict with these foreign-invested enterprises have become so-called stepmothers for various reasons, even to make room for foreign-invested enterprises. In terms of market and resource space, some places are willing to sacrifice and suppress national enterprises in exchange for so-called investment. It is in this kind of atmosphere that national enterprises that were originally technologically backward transformed into?It started to struggle, and some foreign companies with powerful technology patents used the powerful weapon of technology patents to directly suppress the living space of domestic companies. And in these various conflicts, there are some signs that governments at all levels in various places are blind and short-sighted due to lack of experience, or even collude purely for short-term political achievements. Du Yan still remembers that when he was studying at Shanghai University, in the early 1990s, a high-strength CNC ceramic machine tool was developed that was not inferior to the same level of precision in the West. However, it was precisely because of the blind worship of foreign technology. For various unexplainable reasons, this kind of machine tool can only be used as a testing machine lying in the university's research institute until it becomes outdated and breaks down! But it is impossible to continue to develop in depth and form a series of scale, and there is no chance to enter the market and compete with foreign companies with patent sticks! Thinking of this, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of unspeakable resentment in his heart. Even if it was just to change his own destiny again, if he really had the chance and the power, shouldn't he change more of those who had done it? Something to regret? "If you are poor, you can be good for yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world. Isn't this also my ambition in the next life?" "Brother, just do it for yourself." Song Jiayi said nothing more. Du Yan could write such an article. If he said he didn't know the depth of it, Song Jiayi would never believe it. And we have to admit that the article jointly signed by Du Yan and Feng Ziming, which has been published in the news, has not only caused quite a stir among the upper echelons, but some think tanks of the Song family have also carefully analyzed and found that this is completely false. A defensive document that will be of great benefit to the Song family's future development in the field of core technology control in various industries. This means that once the debate on supporting the arguments of this article is won, it will open a series of green lights for the Song family to develop towards core technology research and even monopoly status in the future, and it will also provide the most favorable theoretical basis. Song Jiayi looked at Du Yan curiously. He really didn't know what this young man, who was much younger than him, was thinking about. And the strange thing was that everything he did seemed to be in line with the unfolding steps of the Song family. The vague cooperation made him sometimes even think that someone had leaked the Song family's secrets to Du Yan, such as The more he drank, the more the conversation between the two became less and less intense, until finally, Song Jiayi drank the wine himself When the cap of the bottle was lightly closed, indicating that he would no longer drink, he stood up with a slightly solemn look, raised the glass with both hands and said to Du Yan: "Brother, I wish you a bright future in Hexi Province. Next time I go Let¡¯s have a good drink in Tongyang.¡± Hearing this obvious hint, Du Yan¡¯s expression condensed. He knew that his destination had been decided, but he didn¡¯t expect that it was Tongyang, the capital of Hexi Province. "Jiayi, I hope our next cooperation will be sincere and pleasant." Du Yan smiled lightly, but there was something different in his words. On March 1, 1991, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Du Yan, who had just returned to Pingling from the capital, received a transfer order from Tongyang, the provincial capital! According to the transfer order, Du Yan must report to the Political and Economic Youth Cadre Teaching and Research Institute of the Party School of the Hexi Provincial Committee before March 10. His position is a scientific researcher of the Party School. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 42 Chapter 41 Du Yan is a hot potato Li Peizheng's wife looked wary, staring at the two people sitting next to her from time to time as if looking at class enemies, while her son Li Yiming was indescribably excited. Sometimes he deliberately raised his head to look outside the car, and sometimes he took the The purpose of publishing a book and turning the pages was just to attract the attention of those two people, especially the little beauty among them. Li Peizheng's wife was even more angry because of her son's little tricks, which a discerning person could spot immediately. She squinted her eyes and looked up and down at the pair of beautiful and clear children sitting next to her, who were as beautiful as sisters. There was a hostility on their faces. But she couldn't hide it. That look made Li Peizheng, who was sitting in front, frown slightly and regretted taking her out. But it's hard to tell, that's just the little one, but the big one, with his body so soft and mature, and his face so charming, it's obvious that he has the kind of look that can make men use their brains the most. Let's take a look. She has a figure and appearance like a yellow-faced woman, and her husband is already a county magistrate. Needless to say, his vision has become much higher. Thinking of these, Li Peizheng's wife naturally felt threatened. What¡¯s more, it¡¯s a bit too much to say that they are his secretary¡¯s girlfriend and sister and they want to take them to the provincial capital to meet that Du Yan. Although I have met Du Yan twice and know that my husband values ??that young man very much, no matter how much he takes care of him, he will not be so helpful to his family, right? This time, my man went to the provincial capital to study. He originally said that he would only take himself and his son to the provincial capital to have a look, but he changed his mind in the morning. Inexplicably, there was an extra pair of young girls who could squeeze out water. Beautiful sisters, what is this? It wouldn¡¯t sound good if it was spread out, wouldn¡¯t it? What's more, I heard that Du Yan had his hands and feet removed, and the mayor was dismissed for no apparent reason. Speaking of men from his family, it seems that he was still implicated in those days. During those days, those who used to be responsible for the crimes in the county committee courtyard She leads her family members respectfully, but doesn't they stay far away from her? Thinking of this, Li Peizheng's wife looked at Su Qian and Du Fei with even more unkind eyes. She saw her son turning the pages of the book again, but Du Fei, who was sitting aside, looked so arrogant as if he hadn't seen it at all. , Li Peizheng's wife's face darkened, and she scolded her son: "You are a bit honest, you have never seen a beautiful girl, right?" There was a moment of embarrassment in the Jinbei car, and Li Peizheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, frowned secretly I looked in the rearview mirror, but didn't say anything. Su Qian had already seen from the beginning that Aunt He was wary of them, especially her, but she didn't expect that the hostility was so serious. However, in order to see Du Yan as soon as possible, she could only take advantage of the opportunity. When Li Peizheng had the opportunity to study in the provincial capital, he rushed to go with him. After all, he had a lot to say to Du Yan. Du Fei insisted on coming to see his brother. Du Zhenhai and his wife were obviously not worried about them coming to the provincial capital alone. It happened that Ding Hongwei, who was visiting, mentioned that Li Peizheng was going to the provincial capital party school for the second period of further training in the next few days. Su Qian couldn't help but think about it. After mentioning it for a while, Ding Hongwei said to go home and ask him. Ding Bingxian. Originally, Su Qian didn't take this issue to heart, but she didn't expect to know what Ding Hongwei said to his father when he returned home. Two days later, Li Peizheng agreed to take Su Qian and Du Fei to the provincial capital to meet Du Yan. After hearing the news, Su Qian and Du Fei couldn't help but jump for joy. But he didn¡¯t expect that Li Peizheng would bring his family with him, and the atmosphere became awkward. "Aunt He, I'm causing trouble for you and Secretary Li this time." Su Qian said softly and secretly pulled Du Fei, who seemed to be angry. She was not annoyed by this woman's attitude. Any woman would probably She would also think so, just like she sometimes wondered if Du Yan would meet those girls in the provincial capital who were not only beautiful but also knew how to dress up. Although Su Qian was very confident in her appearance, and because she was in Du Yan, Under the influence of reading and reading, Su Qian gradually gained extraordinary insight and temperament, but when she thought of the dazzling colorful world in the provincial capital, Su Qian felt uneasy for no reason. So this time she went to the provincial capital, of course, because her mother, Gu Weifen, was always nagging her in her ear, and Zhang Tao was pressing her even harder. Not only did he often come to the work to find her, causing rumors in the work, but even more often He came to her house, and even a few days ago Du Fei came to see her and met Zhang Tao, which almost caused trouble. But more importantly, she was worried that the two of them would gradually become strangers after being separated for a long time, and that Du Yan might even find a girl he liked more. Speaking of which, a year later, the only thing that made Su Qian happy was that the relationship between Du Fei and her had improved significantly. Although it could not be said that she was as harmonious as an aunt and a sister-in-law, at least she no longer disliked her as before, and she was free now. I can also go shopping with her and relax. Su Qian's gentle and decent attitude made Aunt He feel a little embarrassed. When she thought about it, she could go to her husband if she had nothing to do.It was really not good to spread the news about having a shit basin on her head, so she forced a smile and chatted with Su Qian, and the atmosphere gradually became normal for a while. Li Yiming still seemed a little nervous. He knew Du Fei. After transferring to another school, Li Yiming and Du Fei were in the same grade. Naturally, the son of the county party secretary quickly became the focus of attention in the county No. 1 Middle School. Moreover, Li Yiming seemed to be doing well. Although he has the rebellious character common to children of this age, on the whole, under Li Peizheng's strict discipline, he is still well-behaved and does well in his homework. This makes the school leaders who were previously worried that a yamen bully came to the school secretly relax. tone. The first time Li Yiming met Du Fei was after a campus event. At this time, the expansion of university enrollment had not really been released. Although the pressure on students in the senior high school entrance examination has been highlighted, it has not reached the level of later generations. Therefore, although studying is already very stressful, there are still activities organized on some special days. It was at such an event that Li Yiming met Du Fei. From the first time he saw Du Fei, Li Yiming was completely attracted to this girl. Although he had heard of Du Fei's name before, in his opinion, what kind of outstanding girl could there be in a small county? However, Du Fei's appearance made him completely conquered by Du Fei's charm. Especially when he saw Du Fei's commanding, lively and cheerful appearance when participating in activities, Li Yiming was immediately attracted. After inquiring, he found out that this beautiful girl was the sister of his father's former secretary. They met several times in school. Although Du Fei also knew his identity, it seemed to have no effect. When dealing with Li Yiming, Du Fei said It was the same as how he treated other classmates. It would be better to say that he didn't pay attention to him at all from the beginning. Now seeing Du Fei up close again, Li Yiming couldn't help but want to take the opportunity to show off in front of Du Fei. Although his childish behavior was quickly reprimanded by Aunt He, after a while, he saw that the atmosphere seemed to be gradually relaxing. He started to test Du Fei by asking a question. Of course, these little actions of his son could not escape Li Peizheng's eyes. He couldn't help but regret that he agreed to bring Su Qian and the others together today. Although this made his wife a little embarrassed and everyone was embarrassed. Seeing his son like this made him a little worried. I delayed my studies because I was distracted. Du Fei didn't seem to care about Li Yiming's actions at all. She discussed with Li Yiming for a few words on the textbook, then looked out of the car, and then asked Li Yiming questions about which university she wanted to apply for, but Asking and answering questions, that cold look made Aunt He feel unhappy again. Aunt He is a housewife with the old idea that husband is more valuable than wife, and mother is more valuable than son. In her opinion, when her man becomes the county magistrate, her and her son's status will naturally rise. Now Du Fei has The way her son ignored him made her feel that she had lost face. Her face slowly dropped, and the atmosphere in the car seemed a little awkward for a while. "Sister Qianqian, is my brother okay this time?" Du Fei suddenly asked Su Qian in a low voice. Although the embezzlement of public funds had been clarified, Du Yan's unresolved work problem still made the Du family feel like a big stone. It seems to be weighing on my heart. Especially Sang Shulan, whenever she saw someone talking and being suspicious about her son behind his back, she would go up and argue with them regardless. Although Du Zhenhai was steady and didn't say anything, there was one time when Du Fei overheard her parents talking. , but Du Zhenhai has already thought of filing a petition if his son's matter continues to be so unclear and there is no explanation. Because of this, not only did Du Zhenhai and his wife love Su Qian for her persistence in leaving Du Yan despite this, Du Fei also gradually changed his attitude towards her. Li Peizheng, who was sitting in front, heard Du Fei's inquiry and turned around with a smile: "Don't worry, Xiao Du is not only fine now, but also has a bright future." Speaking of this, Li Peizheng couldn't help but feel something. From the time he settled in Pingling to the present, apart from Ding Bingxian, Du Yan was Li Peizheng's earliest contact and closest confidant. Du Yan's sacrifice of his life to save him in Daqing Township made Li Peizheng develop a pure personal friendship for Du Yan. From then on In one point, no matter whether it was Tu Xiangdong who came over later, Gong Yerong or Wang Lianyi who was now mentioned as the deputy captain of the county criminal police brigade, they could never be compared with Du Yan. Precisely because of this, Du Yan's successive minor and major levels were all raised in the hands of Li Peizheng. This can also be regarded as Li Peizheng's report and reward to Du Yan. And it is precisely because of the affection between the two people that after the Huachang investment capital incident occurred, Li Peizheng did not avoid suspicion and supported Du Yan. However, despite this, in Li Peizheng's mind, Du Yan's official career had obviously reached an end. So far, although he sympathizes with this young man's experience, Li Peizheng also feels??There is nothing I can do to help. But who could have imagined that things suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the Huachang Capital Case ended quickly in a way that no one else had expected. Although it was far from the core of the matter, some rumors were enough to make many people, including Li Peizheng, feel The inside story is unfathomable, and precisely because it is like seeing flowers through the fog, there are more speculations and legends about the matter. The most surprising thing among them is Du Yan, the person most directly related to the Huachang Capital Case. Although the review of Du Yan was withdrawn at the beginning, it seems that Du Yan was subsequently removed from the post of mayor. Yan obviously became a victim of some people's political struggle, but who would have thought that things suddenly changed, and Du Yan was transferred to the Hexi Provincial Party School with a transfer order. Anyone familiar with domestic official circles knows that, except for certain specific periods, party schools have always been an important step in the promotion and progress of domestic cadres. Although Du Yan's entry into the party school this time is different from those cadres who study for further education, it is also an unexpected event. the result of. ¡°Just from the perspective of thinking about the officials with their own backgrounds that he could come into contact with at the Provincial Party School, Du Yan can not only say that this is a blessing in disguise, but it may even be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In fact, since the investigation of the capital case suddenly and inexplicably stopped, Li Peizheng had already felt that some things might have gone beyond his imagination. Then to Du Yan's sudden comeback, Li Peizheng vaguely realized that although Du Yan is still That young man whom he was very familiar with, but there were some places that he could no longer see clearly. ??According to the current situation, in one year or two at most, as long as there is an opportunity, Du Yan, who came out of the party school, will obviously no longer be the same as when he was in Pingling. At that time, Du Yan should be only twenty-five or six, what level would he be? Deputy? Thinking of this, Li Peizhengruo looked at Du Fei thoughtfully, and then at his son. Since ancient times, the domestic officialdom has been very particular about bullying the old rather than the young. From now on, who can guarantee that one day they will not have to rely on Du Yan? Thinking of this, Li Peizheng frowned slightly and glanced at his wife. Of course he understood what Aunt He was thinking, but he couldn't say it clearly at this time, so he could only remind his wife secretly: "Xiao Du is in good luck this time. However, a turmoil in Pingdi sent our Pingling talents to the Provincial Party School. This is not only Xiao Du¡¯s personal glory, but also our Pingling¡¯s glory.¡± Hearing what Li Peizheng said, Du Fei immediately smiled on his face. , in her mind, Li Peizheng should be a very dignified person like his father. Although his father is very loving to his brother, he rarely praises him. Now that Li Peizheng praises his brother so much, he must be promising. Aunt He couldn't help but feel a sudden shock when she heard that Li Peizheng was serious and didn't seem to be trying to please the two girls. She was a very conservative and old-fashioned rural woman, and she had a fear of officials. Even though Her husband was already the secretary of the county party committee, but when she heard that Du Yan might also become a big official in the future, the way she looked at Su Qian and Du Fei changed slightly. Although she still didn't like these two girls, she didn't like them. Don¡¯t dare to go too far. Seeing that the atmosphere in the car gradually calmed down, Li Peizheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then he fell into deep thought. Li Peizheng is actually not very satisfied with the study of the second class of the Provincial Party School. Guo Songlin's actions seem to have become bigger recently, especially with the confirmation of the planning of the three-town economic zone. The development zone report that was originally thought to be just a sub-department, or at most a main department, was sent back to the city, but it turned out that It is to be expanded into a deputy director-level economic zone. This was really beyond Li Peizheng's expectation. He originally thought that with the emergence of Huachang's funding crisis, it would be difficult for the Three Towns Development Zone to be approved. The reason why he persisted in reporting it was because This plan indeed allowed Li Peizheng to see an opportunity to develop Pingling's economy. Secondly, he also had the feeling of fulfilling Du Yan's dream. However, with the confirmation of the deputy director-level economic zone, things completely changed. Everyone's eyes were on this big peach that suddenly appeared. Even some people who were not optimistic about it and strongly opposed it began to leave. Menluto asked me to cut off a piece of this piece of meat and try it. First of all, the most attractive thing is naturally the position of director of the new economic zone. Guo Songlin obviously wanted to keep this for himself, but soon news came out that according to the city's "suggestions", the director of the new district must be a person who not only understands the new district to be established, but also has certain financial resources. Experience and grassroots leading cadres who have participated in early construction. If Du Yan were here, there would naturally be no one more qualified than him to serve as the director of this new district. However, Du Yan was inexplicably removed from his position, coupled with this so-called "suggestion" that could be said to be completely tailor-made. , people will understandBai, the city actually already has a candidate for the new district director, and if you think about it carefully, this person is ready to be chosen. Sure enough, Liu Jiahui took office as a matter of course and became the director of the newly established new district. "This surprised many people. At the same time, thinking about Du Yan's inexplicable involvement in the capital case and his removal from the position of mayor without an explanation, people finally figured it out. While they were secretly frightened by Liu Jiahui's tough background and ruthless methods, people became more cautious about this upstart in Pingling. After several visits to Daqing Township, it became clear that there was a relationship between Guo Songlin and Liu Jiahui. It was much closer, which also made Li Peizheng feel something was wrong. Liu Jiahui is the son of Liu Ding, the deputy director of the Provincial Organization Department. Li Peizheng has heard about this for a long time, but like many people, Li Peizheng also thinks that Liu Jiahui is just here to get gold, and he will naturally fly away after two years. Moreover, Liu Jiahui has indeed kept a low profile since he arrived in Daqing Township and never interfered in the affairs of the village easily. However, no one expected that at this critical moment, Liu Ding would suddenly take action and pick such a big peach for his son. As he became the director of the new district, Liu Jiahui's rank was also transferred to deputy director. Whether it was the city's intention or what Pingling originally envisioned, with the role that the new economic zone would play in the future, it was inevitable that the new district director would After joining the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Li Peizheng felt that he had made a bad move when he thought of Liu Jiahui, who suddenly became close to Guo Songlin. But speaking of it, although Liu Jiahui relied on such a strong move to win the position of new district director, Du Yan not only did not suffer in this matter, but seemed to be compensated in return. Li Peizheng also realized that Du Yan now, Obviously he already has his own set of relationships, and it is probably Song Jiayi or Qiao Luowei who has a deep relationship with Huachang Group. Of course, even though he thought about this, Li Peizheng couldn't envy Du Yan's situation, because after all, he was in the line of Qu Xiangshan, the current deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and Qu Xiangshan was Yang Weiquan's right-hand man. . Although I was touched by the deepening relationship between Du Yan and the Song family, it is absolutely impossible and unrealistic for Li Peizheng to get close to the Song family on his own. Maybe I can get some news from Du Yan by going to the provincial capital this time? This thought made Li Peizheng slightly uncomfortable. Although he thought that one day he might need to borrow Du Yan's help, Li Peizheng felt that he couldn't bear to ask his former secretary for help now. With this thought in mind, the car was already approaching Tongyang, the provincial capital. Tongyang, which had already entered April, looked extremely beautiful. Looking at the high-rise buildings gradually appearing on the roadside and the increasingly prosperous street scene, Aunt He and Li Yiming They couldn't help showing a curious expression. Su Qian and Du Fei didn't look very curious. Du Fei had already been to Tongyang once before, and that time was still so legendary, while Su Qian went there more than half a year ago. After a trip to the East China Sea, her horizons had been broadened. Although Tongyang was the bustling capital of Hexi Province, it no longer made her feel too novel. The Party School of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee is located at No. 129 Jinqiao Road, Longshan District, southwest of Tongyang, the provincial capital, facing Qifeng Mountain, which is also located in the south of the city. On the stone screen wall next to the simple and solemn school gate inlaid with marble, the bright golden thin characters "**Hexi Provincial Party Committee Party School" appear vigorous and powerful. An eye-catching party emblem hangs on the lintel of the school gate, and the bright party flag has been The warm spring breeze keeps blowing. As one of the oldest party schools in the country, the predecessor of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee Party School was the Northwest Advanced Party School during the Great Revolution. With the founding of the People¡¯s Republic of China, the Northwest Advanced Party School was once merged into the Central Party School as the second-level Central Party School. A large number of middle- and senior-level party members and cadres have been trained for the party and the country. When the Jinbei car drove into the huge parking lot in front of the party school, Li Peizheng gently told the driver to slow down. In fact, he didn't ask the driver to slow down. He just saw the solemn look. Even Aunt He couldn't help lowering her voice, knowing that in this kind of situation Places should be approached with caution. Li Peizheng asked the driver to drive the Jinbei car a little further away. Originally, he wanted to arrange for Aunt He and Li Yiming to get off the bus in the bustling business district of Tongyang City. However, he was afraid that Aunt He would be distracted by this, so he could only take them together. He took them to school and planned to take Su Qian and Du Fei directly to see Du Yan, but although coming to school by car with a few people was not a big deal, he didn't want to attract others' attention. But unfortunately, even though Li Peizheng thought so, he saw an acquaintance as soon as he got out of the car. A chubby man got out of another car. When he saw Li Peizheng, he first smiled and wanted to speak. Then when he saw Su Qian and Du Fei getting out of the car, his eyes became slightly ambiguous.   "Old Li, it seems that you have gained a lot from your trip back to Pingling." The fat man said meaningfully. His eyes couldn't help but look at Su Qian and Du Fei, and saw their unusual expressions. Beautiful, he couldn't help but secretly cursed: "Prudery". Seeing this person, Li Peizheng frowned secretly. This person is a district mayor of Linchi City, his surname is Liao, and he is a student in the same training class for middle-aged and young cadres as Li Peizheng. Linchi, as a relatively developed city in Hexi Province, has great advantages in light industry, and the mayor of Liao District is exactly where the Linchi Winery is located. The taxes and profits paid to Linchi every year are almost close to Pingling's annual GDP. It's no wonder that he doesn't like Li Peizheng so much. More importantly, he and Li Peizheng, who is on the same side as Yang Weiquan, have never dealt with each other from the beginning. "The gains are not small. They can't be compared with those of you who just rested on your laurels. I feel that I must speed up my studies, otherwise I won't be able to keep up with the current speed of development." Li Peizheng replied to Lao Liao in a nonchalant manner, and then he turned back to the man standing there. The two people next to Su Qian said: "Let's do this. I will take you to the communication room to wait. I will call Du Yan and ask him to come out to see you. Speaking of which, he and I have not seen each other for a long time since the end of the year. We met. Let¡¯s go have a meal together when he comes.¡± ¡°Secretary Li, how can I trouble you? I don¡¯t know how to thank you enough for bringing us here. Besides, you greeted him like that.¡± It should be for him to express his gratitude to you. "Su Qian bowed slightly, which seemed respectful and distant, but it made Li Peizheng look at it and secretly praise this girl for knowing how to handle the situation. "Du Yan?" Lao Liao, who was standing not far away, suddenly asked, and then looked at Li Peizheng strangely, "Old Li, do you know Du Yan from the Youth Research Institute?" Li Peizheng looked back at Lao Liao, although he didn't want to pay attention. He couldn't be too rude, and when Du Yan was mentioned, Su Qian and Du Fei showed concerned looks on their faces. "Yes, he was my former secretary," Li Peizheng nodded. "How come, Old Liao, you also know him?" "Yes, of course I know, he's famous," Old Liao glanced at Li Peizheng with a strange look. Individual, and then he chuckled and said, "Then I'll leave first and won't disturb you anymore." Looking at Lao Liao who had finished half a sentence but left a question, Li Peizheng was a little confused for a moment. He knew that because Linchi was much closer to Tongyang than Taihua, he should often have the opportunity to return to the party school, so he might have heard some news that he didn't know yet. Seeing Su Qian and Du Fei's worried looks, Li Peizheng thought for a moment and then took them to the reception room at the gate of the party school. While signing records in the reception room, Li Peizheng noticed that when Su Qian wrote the name "Du Yan" on the interview column, the staff in charge of reception raised his eyes slightly. He raised his head slightly and looked at Li Peizheng again. The two of them, Su Qian, then turned around and walked to the corner, picked up the phone and made a call. This action of the staff made Li Peizheng feel something in his heart. He didn't know what happened to Du Yan not long after he arrived at the Provincial Party School. It seemed that the people here were obsessed with everyone who came into contact with him. Heartfelt. Su Qian also seemed to vaguely feel that something was not right in the atmosphere. She looked at Li Peizheng with some worry. From Li Peizheng's slightly confused look, Su Qian knew that he obviously didn't know what was going on. "Please wait a moment, Du Yan should be out soon." The staff said to Su Qian. "Comrade, please take a step to speak." Li Peizheng took the staff member aside. Although he is the secretary of the county party committee, he knows that even the most ordinary staff members cannot be offended here. "If you can tell me, Du Yan is Is there something wrong?" Li Peizheng asked the staff member softly, and then added, "Secretary Li, is Du Yan your former secretary?" The staff member looked at Li Peizheng in surprise. , then shook his head with a wry smile, "Your secretary" "Whose secretary is Du Yan?" A slightly sharp voice suddenly came from the door, followed by a middle-aged woman with black-rimmed glasses, thin lips and prominent cheekbones. Went into the reception room. "Director Gu!" The staff immediately greeted him. Li Peizheng was stunned when he heard his name. He knew that this woman should be Gu Weihan, the director of the Scientific Socialist Teaching and Research Institute of the Provincial Party School. "Hello, Director Gu, I am Li Peizheng, Secretary of the Pingling County Party Committee. I am a student of this year's first youth cadre class. Du Yan was my former secretary." Li Peizheng did not dare to show any slights to Gu Weihan, not to mention that she still pinched him The evaluation of her training in the middle-aged and middle-aged classes is her connections.The relationship also made Li Peizheng dare not be rude. "Secretary Li, since he was your past secretary, I think you should be familiar with his ideological development." Gu Weihan frowned slightly and shook Li Peizheng's hand. "I'm very surprised how you chose him as your secretary in the first place." Your secretary, don¡¯t you know that this person has serious ideological problems?¡± Li Peizheng was really shocked by his words! "It's okay to say that Du Yan has other problems, but ideological problems are too serious, not to mention the director of the Provincial Party School's Teaching and Research Institute who specializes in theoretical research! This kind of thing is no joke! "Secretary Li, I hope you can have a good talk with Du Yan. This young man is good, but some of his ideas are very dangerous. Do you know what he wrote? He directly pointed the finger at Du Yan in the latest issue of the school magazine Our reforms put forward the argument about the dangers of reforms, and also blatantly looked for excuses and reasons for the Soviet Union¡¯s so-called political reforms. You should be very clear about the nature of this issue, right?¡± Listening to Gu Weihan¡¯s words, Li Peizheng was really surprised. He was stunned. He never expected that Du Yan would cause such a big trouble and make such a big fuss after arriving at the Provincial Party School for more than a month! If you don't pay attention, it will be a serious disaster that will affect people's lives! Gu Weihan turned to look at the pair of young girls who were frightened by her words, and frowned even more: "Young people have unhealthy attitudes towards life, which will lead to such dangerous ideological tendencies, which are typical of the decadent bourgeoisie. Are you thinking!" Su Qian's face turned red when she heard the meaning of Gu Weihan's words! Just when Du Fei raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry, suddenly with the roar of cars coming from far and near in the quiet parking lot, a Mitsubishi Pajero stopped arrogantly in the reception room amidst the rapid braking sound. outside. ?Then the door opened and a tall female officer walked in: "Register me, I'm looking for Du Yan from the Provincial Party School!" Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 43 Chapter 42 The Spring and Autumn Period in the Writing, the Official Career in the Dream "Sister Xiaoyun!" Du Fei shouted unexpectedly when she saw Zhao Xiaoyun. She ran to Zhao Xiaoyun in a few steps, grabbed her hand and shook her, and at the same time looked up and down at Zhao Xiaoyun in military uniform with envious eyes. He looked like "Sister Xiaoyun, why are you here? Oh, you look so good in military uniform!" Zhao Xiaoyun was a little surprised to see Du Fei here. When he brought Du Zhenhai's family to Tongyang, Du Fei got along well with her. , although Zhao Xiaoyun gets very angry every time she thinks of her bastard brother, but Zhao Xiaoyun also likes this little girl who, although sometimes a little willful, is absolutely sincere to her brother. But now that she saw Du Fei, Zhao Xiaoyun felt a little embarrassed for no reason. She didn't know why, but now she always felt that Du Fei looked at her in a strange way. Even when she first saw Du Fei, she felt like she was being taken over. The feeling of someone exposing something. "Xiao Fei, are you here to see your brother?" Zhao Xiaoyun asked and then looked at Su Qian who was standing behind with a puzzled expression. For some reason, although it was the first time they met, Zhao Xiaoyun knew this immediately. Who is the beautiful and dignified girl who came up? Looking at Su Qian's beautiful face that would make most girls lose their confidence, Zhao Xiaoyun didn't know why, but a faint feeling of weakness emerged in his heart. He probably likes this kind of gentle and considerate girl who looks like she wants to be loved. Maybe it¡¯s because he is different from this girl that he feels fresh, but it¡¯s just fresh. This troubled thought flashed through Zhao Xiaoyun's mind, but she quickly put her thoughts aside and glanced at the people who were looking at her in the reception room. When she saw Li Peizheng, she nodded slightly. When she was in Pingling, she had met Li Peizheng, and because of the funding case, she also knew the attitude of many Pingling officials on this matter. Zhao Xiaoyun felt a little bit embarrassed that Li Peizheng was willing to come forward to defend Du Yan in such a difficult time. She had a good impression, but she didn't realize that her good impression was only because this person had helped Du Yan. "Sister Xiaoyun, are you looking for my brother?" Du Fei only remembered what Zhao Xiaoyun said when she first entered the door. She felt a little guilty and wanted to look back at Su Qian behind her, but in the end she held back. , but it made Zhao Xiaoyun feel that he was somehow the third party being caught by his real wife, which made Zhao Xiaoyun have the urge to hit him. But thinking about the purpose of her visit, Zhao Xiaoyun felt at ease. At least she was not selfish in dating Du Yan this time. Even though she accidentally bumped into Su Qian, she still felt that there was no need to appear so guilty and nervous. Thinking like this, she calmed down, and after nodding to Du Fei to indicate that she was right, she continued to say to the receptionist calmly: "Please register, I'm looking for Du Yan from the Political and Economic Qinggan Teaching and Research Institute of the Party School. I have a lot of information. "Important work date." Zhao Xiaoyun specifically mentioned the work date very seriously. Although she couldn't see Su Qian behind her, she knew from the look on Du Fei's face when she turned around that Su Qian must be paying attention to her at this time. She couldn't help but straighten her waist slightly. The straight military uniform made her healthy and plump breasts more attractive, and the two young staff working next to her couldn't help being slightly stunned. Gu Weihan, who had been silent since Zhao Xiaoyun came in, frowned even more when she saw this scene. She raised her thick black eyes and looked up and down. She was tall and could definitely be a model. Zhao Xiaoyun, who was not a soldier, asked suspiciously: "Which army are you from? Do you have anything to do with Du Yan?" Zhao Xiaoyun looked at Gu Weihan strangely, and the staff in front of her immediately introduced her in a low voice. When he heard that Gu Weihan's position was the director of the Party School's Teaching and Research Institute, Zhao Xiaoyun immediately put his heels together and stood at attention and saluted. "Reporting to the chief, I came to Du Yan on orders from my superiors. I have made an appointment with him before this meeting." Zhao Xiaoyun's explanation did not satisfy Gu Weihan. Although the other party seemed to respect him, he did not return at all. After understanding the actual problem and thinking of the manuscript written by Du Yan, Gu Weihan suddenly felt that the matter might be serious. Her expression changed, and she stared at Zhao Xiaoyun with more scrutiny and said, "Du Yan is a staff member of our provincial party school. Recently, he is receiving criticism and education from relevant leaders because of some ideological and cognitive issues. At this time, in addition to his family members It is not convenient to see other people outside, and any work-related contact with him must be handled by our provincial party school.¡± Gu Weihan¡¯s words made the atmosphere that had just eased become tense again, seeing how tough he was. It offset Zhao Xiaoyun's seemingly unusually strong attitude when he suddenly appeared. Gu Weihan felt a little proud in his heart. In fact, Zhao Xiaoyun drove so arrogantly in the parking lot of the party school at the beginning, and then happened to interrupt her when he came in. In terms of the momentum of putting pressure on Li Peizheng, GuHan Han was already unhappy and had an inexplicable aversion to this female soldier who was quite eye-catching even though she didn't have an outstanding appearance. Zhao Xiaoyun was a little confused. She didn't know that she had already aroused the resentment of Director Gu. She just wondered why Du Yan suddenly got into trouble again, although she also heard that the article he published recently caused a stir. There was quite a dispute, but I didn¡¯t expect that things had developed to this point in the provincial party school. "Excuse me, Chief, has Du Yan been quarantined and examined?" Zhao Xiaoyun asked, but she regretted it as soon as she said the words. Seeing the pale faces of Su Qian and Du Fei not far away, she secretly asked this question The two girls could only panic and feel dissatisfied after the incident, but they couldn't help but feel that they seemed to have scared them. "Of course not. Du Yan is still a staff member of our provincial party school. However, because your rank is a work date, you must obtain the consent of the relevant departments of the party school." Gu Weihan shook his head, talking about the reason why she said so Du Yan didn't have a good impression, mostly because of some struggles at the top, and also because in her opinion, this young man was too ignorant. In the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, which can be called a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, he thought about it as soon as he entered. Gu Weihan naturally had no good impression of such a young man. Zhao Xiaoyun nodded after hearing this. She didn't say anything but turned to the staff to ask for the phone and started dialing. After the call, she whispered a few words to the other party, then she hung up the phone and looked back at Gu Weihan, No sound either. Gu Weihan was a little strange. Although Zhao Xiaoyun was a soldier, she didn't care. After all, this is no other place, it is the majestic Hexi Provincial Party Committee Party School. Not only are there a lot of provincial and ministerial level officials who have walked out of this school, but there are also central leaders among them. The political characteristics of the country are always that the party commands the gun. . The ringing of the phone suddenly came to mind, and the staff standing next to the phone was shocked. Speaking of it, so many things happened in this short period of time. No one expected that just a small meeting and registration would lead to so many things. And when When he saw the number displayed on the phone, the staff member, who had already memorized the phone numbers of school leaders, was stunned for a moment. He picked up the phone and listened for a while, then looked up at Gu Weihan. This scene made Gu Weihan a little strange. She took the phone suspiciously and put it to her ear. Although others could not hear what was coming from the phone, the look on her face gradually turned ugly, so she knew it was not a good thing. . "Okay, I understand, Principal Chen. Of course, we will only keep certain debates within purely academic categories. This is also our consistent style." Gu Weihan had a smile on her face, but her tone was very stiff. , and at the same time, her eyes seemed to glance at Zhao Xiaoyun inadvertently. This scene made everyone in the reception room clear that Director Gu might be frustrated this time. After Gu Weihan put down the phone, she felt that the atmosphere in the reception room was a bit depressing. She knew that her overly direct and hostile attitude towards Du Yan made things difficult to deal with, but she did not care about the difficulties of outsiders. Just when she was about to turn around and walk out of the reception room, the door of the reception room was opened again, and Du Yan appeared at the door. Seeing Gu Weihan, who was confronting him and the one who had refuted him most fiercely since he published that article, Du Yan was stunned and politely called out "Director Gu" After that, he smiled at a staff member who happened to be standing at the door and asked, "Excuse me, does anyone want to see me?" Du Yan's words were like an invisible mouth slapped hard on Gu Weihan's face. His slightly pointed chin trembled slightly, and then he ignored Du Yan and walked past him. Then, Du Yan looked at Su Qian, Du Fei, who noticed one after another, and then Zhao Xiaoyun, who was standing a little further away. He first showed joy, then was stunned, and finally showed a look that was not much better than crying. weird smile. On Jinqiao Road, not far from the Provincial Party School, there are several small restaurants. What¡¯s interesting is that these restaurants look unremarkable on the outside, but once you go inside, you will find that although the decoration is ordinary, the environment is elegant. , what is rare is that in a small restaurant, except for the small front hall, all are separated by private rooms, and these private rooms all seem to be made of rich materials. At least one look at the door can tell It gives people a sense of security, and there is absolutely no need to worry about people outside hearing what you say inside. In fact, there are restaurants like this near most party and government agencies. They have a low-key appearance but are safe and reliable. You don¡¯t have to worry about being easily discovered by others when you meet people. The business here is surprisingly good, but this kind of business is not what anyone wants. You can do whatever you want. In a private room of a hotel called "Return", Li Peizheng was in the first place. Aunt He and Li Yiming were on his right, while Du Yan was on his left. Su Qian and Du Fei sat on the other side of Du Yan in turn. It's okay to arrange it this way.What, it was just originally planned to be a private banquet between the two families, but Zhao Xiaoyun "sneaked in" inexplicably, which made the atmosphere a little weird. Moreover, it is really difficult to arrange Zhao Xiaoyun's seat. Looking at her eye-catching and straight green military uniform, she is so conspicuous. Whether it is arranged for her next to Li Peizheng or Du Yan, it seems a bit inappropriate. If she and Su Qian and Du Fei are arranged, Or Aunt He sitting together, but it is even more inappropriate, because the relationship between Zhao Xiaoyun and their family can be said to be a chance meeting, not to mention that she has a huge background behind her, and she must not be regarded as an ordinary woman. viewed by children. In the end, it was Du Fei who solved the problem. She grabbed Zhao Xiaoyun regardless and forced her to sit down next to her. This made Li Peizheng, who was in trouble, breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, she also liked Du Fei's cleverness. Su Qian has been sitting next to Du Yan without saying a word, just looking at Du Yan silently. It seems that in her eyes, she can no longer support anything else except Du Yan. When Du Yan stood up and toasted to Li Peizheng and Aunt He Then, she stood up and raised her glass to toast respectfully. The look of a young man and woman in love made Aunt He feel a little embarrassed about her previous random thoughts. "Xiao Du, it's fate that we work together. Excluding work, we can't tell who helped whom and who owed whom." After having two drinks with each other, Li Peizheng said seriously, "You are at work." I know very well what your attitude is. As your former leader, if I were to give you a comment, I would say, 'Okay! Okay! '" Li Peizheng said, being pulled down by Du Fei. He raised his hand slightly and said to Du Yan: "Xiao Du, you now have a toast to Director Zhao. This is the last job assigned to you by me as the leader. Thank you Director Zhao for helping you." Du Yan stood up after hearing this. , walked around the table and came to Zhao Xiaoyun with a wine glass. Li Peizheng's words also affected him. He remembered that Zhao Xiaoyun could still help him greet his family when he had nothing to do with him. He suddenly appeared to save him when he was beaten by the disciplinary committee cadres and was in the most difficult situation. Although he was acting under orders, he was still moved. "Director Zhao, thank you." Du Yan raised his glass to Zhao Xiaoyun, but he seemed to see Zhao Xiaoyun's hand holding the glass swaying slightly when he heard his words, Director Zhao. "I'm just following orders. Du Ke, if you want to be grateful, thank Mr. Qiao and Mr. Song." Zhao Xiaoyun said lightly. After looking at Du Yan, her big eyes just stared at the slightly swaying food in the cup. Drinks. Du Yan nodded slightly. He didn't know what to say to Zhao Xiaoyun. For a moment, he suddenly felt that he was really a bastard as Zhao Xiaoyun said! ¡°At least emotionally, he feels sorry for both Su Qian and Zhao Xiaoyun now. When Du Yan returned to his seat, a gentle hand stretched out to hold him. He turned to look at Su Qian, who didn't say anything but seemed to understand. Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart. He couldn't help but squeeze Su Qian's hand tightly to express the silent guilt in his heart. Su Qian smiled lightly, as if she didn't understand what Du Yan wanted to express to him, but in fact, her heart was not calm. Zhao Xiaoyun appeared. From that moment on, relying on her female intuition, Su Qian felt threatened. Although Su Qian was very confident in her appearance, Zhao Xiaoyun's unusual and unique temperament made her feel dangerous. The young female officer had a figure that was as imaginable as a model, as well as a pair of large robes that seemed to be able to talk. Eyes, Su Qian clearly felt that she was challenged! Although as a woman, and in this era, Su Qian naturally didn't know about the "uniform temptation" that was almost popular in later generations, a strange thing from the East, but the novel feeling that young women wearing military uniforms can make men have, she still Feel it. So from the beginning, she just followed Du Yan silently. She didn¡¯t talk much or do unnecessary things. She just followed Du Yan silently and never left him! This was all she could do. When she thought that Zhao Xiaoyun had just made a phone call before, the female director of the Provincial Party School, who even Li Peizheng had to be respectful to, suffered a loss. The sense of crisis that Zhao Xiaoyun brought to her had actually made her I feel almost out of breath! Li Peizheng¡¯s words in the car have been lingering in her mind. If she was happy to hear them before, Su Qian now feels inexplicable fear. Where will Du Yan go in the future? Will it really be smooth sailing for the official career? What can I give him? What can I do to help him? Can I compare with this extraordinary-looking Zhao Xiaoyun? What would Du Yan do if one day Zhao Xiaoyun could help him but he couldn't? Thinking of this, Su Qian could only look for that inexplicable sense of security from Du Yan's hand that was so hard that it hurt. "Xiao Du, what do you think?What article was published in the party school magazine? "Li Peizheng finally asked. Although Gu Weihan, the director of the Scientific Socialist Teaching and Research Institute of the Provincial Party School, is more in charge of administration and does not involve pure ideological and philosophical fields, her evaluation of Du Yan may not be correct. But it is precisely because of this that Li Peizheng is even more worried. He is well aware of the domestic political climate. He knows very well that in this specific domestic political environment, there has never been a truly pure ideological and academic field, but only ideological tools that serve politics. Because of this, Gu Weihan¡¯s accusation against Du Yan made Li Peizheng feel even more uneasy: ¡°It is an article about whether the new capitalist class created with the economic reform will develop into a political and economic monopoly that is integrated with the power class. Essays on class, and whether such reforms will lead to an inevitable trend of transition from economics to politics. "Du Yan smiled faintly and saw Li Peizheng's eyes widening when he heard his words. Du Yan secretly wondered whether his fate with Li Peizheng had not ended yet or had already reached the end of fate, but here. For a moment, Li Peizheng silently picked up the wine glass. He felt that his hands were shaking slightly. Aunt He next to him noticed his slightly strange expression and couldn't help but reach out to hug him, but he gently pushed her away with a sip of wine. After falling into his stomach, Li Peizheng felt a burning feeling in his heart. He turned his head slightly and looked at Du Yan's young but steady face. After looking at it carefully for a while, he asked softly: "Xiao Du, what do you think about writing these things?" The result? "Of course, I know what I am writing," Du Yan put down his chopsticks and nodded. "And I have already written in the article that the current political reform in the Soviet Union is precisely because the existing privileged group has a complete monopoly on the country and has to implement it." Some people accuse this kind of reform of being top-heavy. In fact, that is because they do not understand the extent of the monopoly shortcomings of the privileged class in the Soviet Union. Gossip's reform is not so much impulsive and reckless as it is helpless and forced. For example, if the monopoly of the privileged class cannot be broken politically first, then it will be a complete joke for the Soviet Union to implement economic reforms. " "Xiao Du! "Li Peizheng suddenly roared, and his eyes quickly glanced at Zhao Xiaoyun. Although he knew that Zhao Xiaoyun had helped Du Yan, Du Yan's words now have touched a red line that cannot be touched at all. One step forward, it might be an abyss! ¡°Secretary, don¡¯t worry, I know what I¡¯m talking about. "Seeing Li Peizheng still making efforts to remind himself, Du Yan was quite moved, and he also knew that some things were just about done. Li Peizheng could still do his part as a leader and elder to remind himself that he was already done. It was commendable, and I couldn't ask him to show support for me. And vaguely, Du Yan was avoiding the final test in his heart. He didn't want to lose Li Peizheng's friendship with him, and if he thought about it carefully, if Li Peizheng was afraid. After being implicated and alienated, how can you blame others? Who has the right to ask others to maintain friendship with them? At that time, I just lost a good elder and friend, but in the end, I had nothing to prove. "Secretary, I just want to remind us of our own development in this area in the article. In addition, this kind of reform in the Soviet Union will inevitably lead to turmoil, and depending on the situation, it will not last long. "Du Yan picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "Wait, you mean, there will be civil strife in the Soviet Union? "Li Peizheng looked at Du Yan in astonishment. He really didn't know what this young man was thinking at this time. The dangerous remarks he made before ended up with such a conclusion. This was really beyond his expectation." But what did Director Gu just say that there was something wrong with your thinking? Can't she see that you are sounding the alarm to ourselves? " After listening to Li Peizheng's words, Du Yan secretly revealed it. Of course he knew why Gu Weihan had trouble with him. The article he wrote about economic privileges before had severely offended the interests of some people. It is estimated that Now some upper-level groups are making a fuss because of this, and Gu Weihan is obviously a member of one of the factions: "Because what he said later was not published in the Hexi Provincial Party School journal. . "Zhao Xiaoyun, who had been silent until now, suddenly answered. When she saw several people looking towards her, Zhao Xiaoyun's eyes swept across their faces one by one. When she saw Du Yan, she finally couldn't help but secretly He cursed "little bastard" and said, "I came here specifically to pick up the manuscripts he wrote, so I said he had a work appointment. "When Zhao Xiaoyun said this, he noticed that Su Qian, who had been looking at him, seemed to exhale softly. "Director Zhao, please forgive me," Although he is the secretary of the county party committee, Li Peizheng knows very well that Zhao Xiaoyun is by no means an ordinary female second lieutenant officer. It's so simple. Maybe she herself is nothing, but the people she works for are "little people" that Li Peizheng can't have any contempt for.?He used to work with me, and as his old leader, I think he can still speak to him. Can I ask who would you give these articles he wrote to read? " "Secretary Li, have you read the article recently issued by the central government on the pilot program to promote the reform of state-owned enterprises? It is the one that was published in Xinhua Internal Reference this month? "Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly asked his question. Li Peizheng thought for a moment and nodded: "It's about the marketization of state-owned enterprises. I've read it. Is there anything wrong with this article? " "The article is signed by two people, one is Feng Ziming from Jinghua University, and the other is Guiyan." Zhao Xiaoyun did not look at Du Yan, but said to Li Peizheng, "Gui is a slightly changed form of upper wood and lower soil, which is Du. Character. ¡± ¡°The word Du?¡± Du Yan? ! "Li Peizheng turned his head to look at Du Yan in astonishment. The way he looked at Du Yan changed at this moment, because he finally understood something. Du Yan now, whether it is his vision, knowledge, or connections, is really different from him. After eating, Zhao Xiaoyun took the articles that Du Yan had brought out of the dormitory and left. These things were requested by Song Jiayi or the Song family, and they had just come from the south. Qiao Luowei, who returned to Taihua, obviously also cares about these articles that may have a significant impact not only on Huachang, but also on the entire national policy. Therefore, Zhao Xiaoyun received a call from Du Yan before saying that after several revisions, After finishing the article, she hurriedly drove to Tongyang. But she never expected that she would meet Su Qian. Li Peizheng wanted to spend a day with his family in Tongyang, so he made an appointment with Su Qian on the time and place to meet. , they broke up separately. Du Fei shouted that she wanted her brother to accompany her and Su Qian to fun places. This did not bother Du Yan. He gently took Su Qian's slightly cold hand and felt the slender fingers. The slight touch in his hand also conveyed a trace of tenderness silently between the two of them. Ever since they woke up from the dream, the two of them had been together less and more apart, which made Du Yan feel deeply guilty about Su Qian. Where do you want to go? Du Yan asked gently, "Do you want to watch a movie?" " "Let's just take a walk," Su Qian said with a chuckle. "It's a rare occasion, but sitting together just watching a movie is so boring. " Du Yan nodded. He knew what Su Qian was thinking. She didn't want the rare time with her to be wasted. "Then let's walk slowly on the street and take a rest when we are tired. "Du Yan said. Su Qian nodded. She just wanted to be with Du Yan, and she didn't care where she went. Perhaps influenced by the silent but perceptible affection between the two people, Du Fei slowly fell in love with her. Looking at the two people walking side by side in front of him, Du Fei couldn't help but feel a slight soreness in his nose. Maybe Su Qian is his brother's best friend, and she will always be his most beloved sister, Du Fei felt in his heart. After thinking about it like this, he was already crazy. After sending Su Qian and Du Fei away, Du Yan returned to the party school. He knew that the things he had written before had attracted the attention of senior officials. This was exactly what he needed without a strong background. In addition to taking advantage of the opportunity, he can only rely on the experience and knowledge that are many years earlier than others, and find another shortcut to open a path of improvement for himself as soon as possible. And he must also speed up the pace as soon as possible, because he knows that as summer approaches, from now on! From now on, a series of major events will occur! The most critical one will happen in the next year! On June 26, 1991, the State Council issued the "Reform of the Enterprise Employee Pension Insurance System" "Decision on Tentative Rules" Unlike many places in Du Yan's memory of his previous life, in this document, which concerns the vital interests of countless people and has huge and far-reaching influence, it also emphasizes the gradual marketization of enterprise employee pension insurance. In order to balance and supplement the interests of the pension systems with huge differences between different mechanisms, this will largely pave the way for the unbalanced insurance system of enterprises and institutions to run faster and faster in the future, and eventually it will become almost intensified. , put on a restrictive rein in advance. And just two days later, on June 28, a document from the Central Propaganda Department on strengthening party members¡¯ party spirit building and facing new challenges in the new era was issued. Hexi Provincial Party School. Sitting below, listening to the speech of the leader of the Taiwan Colonel on studying the spirit of the Central Propaganda Department's documents, Du Yan couldn't help but look at the calendar on his wrist. This day is far away from the day that shocked the world. Getting closer. On Saturday, August 17, Du Yan took leave in advance and returned to Pingling on the next Sunday. On Monday, Du Yan sat in front of the TV at home early, which made Du Zhenhai and his wife a little strange. Normal programs suddenly stopped broadcasting, and panicked people appeared on the TV screen.In the midst of the crowd, the smoke, and the intermittent and intense reports from the reporters ahead, Du Yan quietly left the stunned Du Zhenhai couple. He walked to the yard and looked up at the blue sky. Let out a long breath. There will be a good show next, right? Du Yan was thinking this in his mind. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 44 Chapter 43 The ups and downs are only in sighs On August 19, 1991, a coup that shocked the world took place in the Soviet Union! With advanced communication technology, people all over the world witnessed this incident on television. Du Yan returned to the Provincial Party School on Monday afternoon. He was called back by a phone call. The person who called him was the secretary of Chen Zigao, the vice president of the Provincial Party School. The principal of the Party School of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee is concurrently held by the full-time deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee in charge of party and mass work, while Chen Zigao is the executive vice president responsible for the daily work of the Party School. Du Yan has met Chen Zigao several times, but they were all in the audience. Apart from watching the school leaders speak from a distance, Du Yan, a small cadre of the school, has not had the opportunity to have contact with the executive vice principal. This time it was the same. The person who received him was Chen Zigao's secretary. Chen Zigao had been summoned to attend the emergency enlarged meeting of the provincial party committee. The sudden and huge changes in the Soviet Union completely shocked the world, and even shocked the country. It was very late when Chen Zigao returned to school. After waiting for a while, Chen Zigao's secretary told Du Yan that he could go in. Chen Zigao is in his early sixties. Because he works in a party school with a relatively strong academic atmosphere, he can still continue to work even though he is old enough. Perhaps because of this, Chen Zigao looks elegant and not immersed in officialdom. His aura is more like that of a university professor who specializes in learning. Seeing Du Yan, Chen Zigao casually asked him about his situation, and then the topic changed and he mentioned the coup that was taking place in the Soviet Union. Du Yan really had nothing to say about the "August 19th Incident". Although he had metaphorically mentioned the huge risks that the Soviet political reform might face in his previous articles, he could not seem too arrogant and told Chen Zigao, The Emergency Committee is a bunch of softies, and the Russian president who looks like an over-fermented man has a heart like reinforced concrete, so the coup will soon fail, and the huge country of the Soviet Union will also fail because of this direct reason. Just disintegrate. ¡° If Du Yan says this, whether Chen Zigao believes it or not, it is estimated that the people who will see him in a few days will be a group of researchers in white coats. Therefore, Du Yan only expressed his views on this incident based on the arguments of the articles he had published publicly. However, he still pointed out implicitly that the current Soviet Union was already riddled with holes, even if the Emergency Committee made some decisions. However, if they cannot get support from all aspects as soon as possible, their prospects may not be optimistic. Chen Zigao did not analyze some of these things in detail with Du Yan, but just listened quietly like a person who came to listen. After a while, he asked: "Comrade Du Yan, according to your statement, do you think the Soviet Union Political reform has failed, so in the articles you wrote before, I remember that you once conducted a defensive analysis for this kind of reform. How do you explain this? "When Chen Zigao asked this, his eyes were always very serious. There is a scrutinizing look in the calm eyes. If young people dare to say and do something, as long as they don't go out of their way, he still supports it. But if a topic seesaws to please both sides, that's another matter. Du Yan and Chen Zigao looked directly at each other, and he replied with a respectful but confident expression: "Such a principal, I think the failure of Soviet reforms was not due to the order of their reforms, but due to their unique political structure. . I remember there was a political joke in the Soviet Union. It was said that someone asked how the members of the next Soviet Politburo would enter the venue. The person who answered said: The young representatives all stood up and applauded, and the members who could not walk had to be carried in. This is the crux of the problem. The Soviet Union is already an old empire. It is their own rigid system that has formed various groups that no one can shake. This has led them to have to reform, but reform will inevitably lead to chaos. This is the main reason for the dilemma. This is what I came up with after my analysis. I dare not say whether my analysis is a warning or a reference for our country¡¯s reform. However, as a party member who is also engaged in theoretical research, I think I have the responsibility to write down my views and opinions. " Du Yan didn't spend much time in Cheng Zigao's office. Even after he came out, he thought about it carefully. In addition to asking him some things about Soviet reform, Chen Zigao and he didn't talk about any substantive topics. However, this meeting caused a small sensation in the school. It was an honor to be able to meet the executive vice-principal, and to be able to enter the principal's office alone. No matter what he said, at least this meant one thing. This Xiao Du has become number one with Principal Chen. There were quite a few people who thought this way, so when they went to the cafeteria to eat the next afternoon, colleagues who had alienated Du Yan because of his previous article began to look for opportunities to say hello to him. Several people said that time ??He was quite reasonable, and we just sat down with him while eating and talking, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Du Yan always greeted his colleagues at the Provincial Party School with a smile, but he was as calm as water. He knew that he was destined to be just a transitional person in the Party School. Judging from what happened in the recent period, he estimated that his leisurely days here would be , there should be very little left. As expected, history remains the same as in previous lives. The changes that followed the August 19th incident were beyond everyone's expectations. Just when many people thought that the Soviet Union might enter a so-called "iron-fist era" or fall into long-term turmoil, the fat Russian The fat president suddenly showed his tough side. At the same time, those coup bosses who call themselves the Emergency Committee are still slowly following the previous bureaucratic practices, thinking that as long as the security forces take control of some places and then publish a "Message to the People of the Soviet Union", the people will naturally follow suit. Just follow them and everything will develop as you imagined. The result of this mutual contrast is that when the fat Russian president, whose face is always tight and his body is always tight, steps on the tank to give a speech, the emergency committee immediately responds to the attack of the Russian army and the indifference of the people. While watching, it only lasted for a short period of time, measured in hours, and then completely collapsed! This change came too suddenly, but ended too quickly. While many people were still publishing various high-level analyzes and some were looking for reasons for the legitimacy and sustainability of the coup d'etat from a high-level perspective, the fat man The fat Russian president has used tough methods to defeat his opponents who suddenly appeared in one fell swoop. And taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he told the Soviet Union, which has lasted for more than half a century, that it looks powerful but is actually The already faltering boss empire has unleashed a fatal fist! ¡°However, what happened internationally was too far away after all, and the worries about the future of the Soviet Union were quickly replaced by another thing, and this thing was really important to the staff of the Provincial Party School. The previous document on strengthening the party spirit of party members issued by the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in June has been updated. Due to the current changes in the domestic and international situation, as well as the huge turmoil in the Soviet Union, the Central Committee has paid more attention to issues related to the party's ideological construction, and combined with the previous document, anyone who is attentive can vaguely smell it. A hint of unusual flavor. Sure enough, just after September, news came out that the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee¡¯s Propaganda Department were coming to inspect the Provincial Party School. Although it was a common thing for leaders of the Propaganda Department to inspect the Provincial Party School, this time it was because the Provincial Party Committee¡¯s propaganda department Qu Xiangshan, the executive deputy director of the department, came to inspect the school for the first time after taking office, so the whole school paid great attention to it. The second half of Du Yan's previous article analyzing the pros and cons of Soviet political reform has been published publicly, excluding some of the overly sensitive arguments. This article, which also used Gui Yan as a pseudonym, caused a lot of controversy as soon as it appeared in the newspaper. dispute. "However, these disputes are not more about the content of the article, because facts have proven that the analysis of the article is very in place and accurate. What people are controversial about is whether the author of this article really foresaw it in advance or was just hindsight. This even attracted refutation from an authoritative domestic political commentary media that has the same reference weight as Xinhua. While affirming the content of the article, it also implied that the author was taking advantage of the situation, taking advantage of the situation, and even used the topic to point out that there is a certain faction in the party. In order to meet the ideal, the stock market does not talk about principles and does not talk about the unhealthy trend of stance. But then Xinhua Reference published the entire article again, and added the editor's note. Although it is not known whether the upper and lower parts of the article were abbreviated by one person, people have already confirmed it from the style of writing. The two are inseparable from each other. For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the Party School of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee. Although it was not confirmed in the end whether the article written by Du Yan and the subsequent article published in Xinhua Internal Reference belonged to the same person, but only from these two articles In terms of echoing each other and connecting the past with the future, people have already guessed that Du Yan is obviously closely related to this person. "What kind of background does a person who can continuously publish articles in Xinhua Internal Reference, and what is the relationship between this person and Du Yan, arouse greater suspicion?" Du Yan was not moved by these disturbing things. During this period of time, in addition to his duties, he almost immersed himself in the school library, flipping through materials and searching indexes. Even on the way home, he also Take the time to learn and figure out how to behave appropriately in the events that will happen next, but not seem to be overstepping. October is about to enter, and the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee has welcomed the latest batch of training courses for young grassroots cadres. This series of training courses was jointly arranged and established by the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Party School of the Central Committee after the crisis the year before last.?'s. The purpose is to provide an early opportunity for young cadres who may take leadership positions among the most grassroots party members and cadres to learn and deeply understand the party's theory and the party's governing policies. Although the vast majority of young cadres who participate in this kind of training class may never have that kind of opportunity in their lives, being able to participate in this training class itself has already demonstrated their background and status in their current positions, not to mention this period. The training class happens to be at this time, which further shows that these young cadres should have extraordinary backgrounds. Because there were a large number of people in this training class, Du Yan had to be roped in to help the staff of the school's administrative office with registration, placement, and answering questions. Du Yan sat in front of the table and waited. The drowsy feeling at noon after autumn made him feel a little lazy. Suddenly, a figure stood in front of him, followed by a big schoolbag "Bang" Du Yan couldn't help but be surprised. He raised his head and saw a face he didn't want to see. Zhang Tao, the son of Zhang Wenliang, the current Deputy Party Secretary of Taihua City, the second-generation official who had a conflict with Du Yan because of his pursuit of Su Qian. "Sign up." Zhang Tao stood in front of the table and looked at Du Yan with a provocative look. Ever since his father became the deputy secretary of the Taihua Party and Mass, Zhang Tao's life has become more comfortable, and he has no feelings for Su Qian. The attack also became more fierce. Zhang Tao didn't believe that women wouldn't like and envy him, a serious official in Taihua City. Although Su Qian worked in Pingling, Zhang Tao drove there from the city every now and then. The car belonged to the municipal treasury of his workplace. It belongs to the Bureau, but now it is almost the same as his own. Anyway, the Municipal Finance Bureau is a rich yamen, and no one will offend the third-in-command of the municipal committee for a car. But what annoyed Zhang Tao was that Su Qian always ignored him. Even when Su Qian's mother came forward to speak for Zhang Tao several times, Su Qian turned her back with a cold face. Especially once when he was going to Su Qian When he was at Qian's house, he met a little girl inexplicably. After hearing who he was, the little girl became furious and almost beat him. Afterwards, Zhang Tao found out that the girl looked very handsome. The girl is Du Yan's sister. The less you can get, the more attractive you are. Zhang Tao doesn't know if he really likes Su Qian or if it's just out of anger, which makes him hate Du Yan even more. As early as when Du Yan was unlucky, Zhang Tao was the first to inform Su Qian. At that time, Zhang Tao, who was already doing well, unexpectedly hit a snag. As for later, although it was heard that Du Yan seemed to have learned from that case After getting rid of it, there was no formal work unit arranged, which made Zhang Tao think that Du Yan was finished. But what I never expected was to see Du Yan in the provincial party school. "Is it you?" Zhang Tao also looked at Du Yan with some surprise. He was able to get a place in this training class for grassroots young cadres this time. Naturally, it was his father who organized it, and his father Zhang Wenliang repeatedly warned that this training class Different from the past, he must be cautious no matter what. Maybe his future career will depend on this opportunity. Du Yan looked at Zhang Tao coldly. He knew very well about Zhang Tao's entanglement with Su Qian. Although he taught Zhang Tao a lesson last time, it seemed that not only did he not listen to the lesson, he even took advantage of his absence to get worse. This Du Yan had the urge to slap him after seeing him. "Why did you sneak into the Provincial Party School?" Zhang Tao looked at Du Yan with suspicion. Although Du Yan's appearance at the Provincial Party School surprised him, he thought that Du Yan should be just an ordinary staff member, and he was a trainee. , he may be a more senior leader in the future, and Zhang Tao has a lot of confidence. As for whether Du Yan will use the convenience of school staff to cause trouble for him, he is not afraid. "Didn't you also sneak in?" Du Yan said lightly. He was sure that Zhang Wenliang was the reason why Zhang Tao came in, but he was too lazy to care. She didn't have time to compete with someone like Zhang Tao now. "Why Zhang Tao, have you met someone you know?" An equally familiar voice came from the side. Du Yan turned around, but couldn't help but frown secretly and thought to himself: "This training class is a bit evil, why are you all here together? " Seeing Du Yan, the visitor couldn't help but be stunned like Zhang Tao. Then the man handed the luggage to his left hand, stretched out his right hand and greeted warmly: "Oh, Mayor Du, I really didn't expect this. It's you." Looking at the enthusiastic smile of the person opposite, Du Yan also showed a calm and indifferent smile. He stretched out his hand and held it tightly: "Hello, Director Liu." Hearing this. Liu Jiahui showed a reserved smile at the words of address. ¡°It¡¯s really nice to be able to meet Mayor Du here.¡±??Unexpectedly, more than half a year later, we would be able to eat in the same pot again. "Liu Jiahui said with a smile. The enthusiasm on his face was sincere, and there was no trace of artificiality at all. When he saw the look on Zhang Tao's face next to him, Liu Jiahui couldn't help but be startled, and then looked at the two people with some confusion. "Why are you" "It's nothing, Brother Liu, every little thing in the past is over, just a little thing. "Zhang Tao glanced at Du Yan sideways, but the arrogance in his expression was clearly revealed. Now Du Yan is just a small staff member of the party school, and as for him, as long as he comes out of this training class, he will be promoted. There is a golden threshold for promotion, and there is also his own father. Thinking of this, Zhang Tao's eyes have changed when he looks at Du Yan. He is looking at people in a condescending manner. At least in his mind, he and Du Yan are no longer the same. "Okay, Mayor Du, let's talk later. Let's arrange accommodation first. Speaking of which, I really have something to say to you, especially in Daqing Township, which has changed a lot. "Liu Jiahui said to Du Yan with a smile. With that kind of close and natural look, no one would know that it was him. Not only did he snatch the position of new district director from Du Yan, but he also contributed to it, almost completely. Ruining the person he was chatting and laughing with, Du Yan slowly sat down as he watched the two people walking away. He unconsciously turned the pen on his finger and looked at the silver pen tip that swayed from time to time. Turning left and right, he finally smiled, stopped, picked up the pen cap and put it together. On September 25, 1991, the grassroots youth cadre training class of the Hexi Provincial Party School opened in the second auditorium of the Provincial Party School. According to the previous instructions. According to the work agenda, Qu Xiangshan, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, will attend the opening ceremony and make relevant speeches. Therefore, the school has made preparations to welcome the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee early, although the school gate is usually very neat and solemn. Even though they were in the hospital, they were told to do more sanitation. In addition to hanging a banner on the school gate saying "Warmly welcome the leaders of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee to visit and inspect", they also put up two rows of rows on both sides of the road inside the school gate. Yellow chrysanthemums, but after someone said that yellow means unlucky, the yellow chrysanthemums were replaced by two rows of red roses. However, as time passed, the school leaders waiting outside the second auditorium gradually felt unhappy. Be patient. Logically speaking, it shouldn¡¯t be very far from the Provincial Party Committee Courtyard. Even if it¡¯s the first time for Vice Minister Qu to be more reserved, it¡¯s not like this. After all, this is the Provincial Party Committee Party School. According to the level, As the executive vice president, Chen Zigao is no worse than Qu Xiangdong. In terms of influence, after all, Chen Zigao has been the executive president of the Provincial Party School for many years and has disciples and former officials all over the province. Even if Qu Xiangshan is a high school student, he must have a sense of proportion. As they watched, the people waiting in line couldn't help but talk secretly in twos and threes. Hearing the gradually louder voices behind them, Chen Zigao, who was standing in the front, frowned slightly and looked back. There was silence in front of the auditorium. Although the school leaders were included, people came and went. There were dozens of people standing behind, but the quietness made the students in the auditorium who were already a little impatient because of waiting couldn't help but sigh. After a while, Chen Zigao couldn't help but become a little impatient. He didn't care what Qu Xiangshan thought or did, but so many school leaders, professors, lecturers, and students were waiting for him alone, which made Chen Zigao a little unhappy just as he frowned and considered whether to let anyone do it again. When the provincial party committee called to ask, a staff member hurried to his side and whispered a few words. A surprised look appeared on Chen Zigao's face. After questioning and confirming that the news was correct, he motioned to several school leaders to come over. After whispering a few words, news immediately spread in the party school. The training class, which was originally scheduled to be attended by Qu Xiangshan, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, was suddenly changed to be attended by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Organization Director of the Provincial Party Committee. Liang Benchu ??attended, and Qu Xiangshan, deputy director of the Propaganda Department, attended! This news immediately caused a discussion on campus, and the students in the training class who heard the news were so excited that they almost shouted out! Organization Minister! Liang Benchu! what does that mean? This means that if you fall into the eyes of Minister Liang, your future will be bright! When the students who were already impatient heard the news, they immediately straightened their backs, took deep breaths, and seemed to become lively and lively all of a sudden! Because of Liang Benchu's sudden arrival, Chen Zigao once again asked about the details of the reception. At least the banner should be modified immediately. However, when someone asked whether to greet him at the school gate, Chen Zigao shook his head: "We are the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee , there are some things that need to be paid attention to, and there must be certain reception standards, but some excessive things are not what Minister Liang wants to see. " But having said that, the school made adjustments immediately, and students who have no business and Staff were informedDo not move around at will. Although it is not necessary, the school security office has been notified to strengthen security in the relevant areas. Near noon, several black cars drove into the gate of the Hexi Provincial Party School. After stopping for a while, the director of the school's Academic Affairs Office, who had been waiting at the school gate, got into the front car and guided the small convoy. , heading towards the second auditorium. When the motorcade arrived in front of the auditorium, Chen Zigao, who was waiting at the steps of the auditorium, led several school party committee leaders over. As the car doors opened, the two provincial party committee leaders, who had long been eagerly awaited, came from their respective got out of the car. Liang Benchu ??has a handsome and upright appearance and looks energetic. He is fifty-two years old this year. He is not young among provincial and ministerial officials, but he can also be said to be in his prime. Liang Benchu, who has worked in ministries and commissions for many years, gives people the impression of being calm. Since taking up the post of Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, Liang Benchu ??has not seemed to be high-profile. Although he did some things to win over Deputy Minister Liu Ding at the beginning, most of them were not noticeable. In cooperation with the Deputy Secretary in charge of cadre work In the meeting, Liang Benchu ??also appeared to be quite satisfactory, which surprised some people who suspected that his arrival would bring new changes to the political situation of Hexi Province, and also disappointed some people who were looking forward to finding opportunities. However, people who are really familiar with the inside story know that things are definitely not that simple. Although many people are still unclear about who is standing behind Liang Benchu, but after the document issued by the central government in June, Liang Benchu ??began to gradually reveal his identity. features and sounds. Today he will come to the Provincial Party School and attend this training class for young cadres, which has a different meaning in itself. This is a very strong signal. Unlike Liang Benchu, although Qu Xiangshan is younger, he is already bald and his back is slightly curved. Perhaps because of his habit of working in the local area for many years, Qu Xiangshan reflects more of the common official style. Regarding the youth training class ceremony where he was supposed to attend and speak, in the end it became a situation like "those who attended the ceremony" Although Qu Xiangshan didn't show any expression on his face, he did not follow Liang Benchu ??closely. But after taking a few steps away, you can see the vague dissatisfaction in his heart. Speaking of which, there is indeed no need for Qu Xiangshan to buy into Liang Benchu's account. After all, he is the deputy governor of Yang Weiquan, and rumors that Yang Weiquan may take over as governor after the year have been vaguely spread in the official circles of Hexi Province. By then, the situation in Hexi Province should have changed again. Liang Benchu ??smiled kindly and shook hands with Chen Zigao who came up and the school party committee members behind him. His many years of ministry work experience gave him an air of majesty yet approachability in his demeanor. His appearance made people think He is very close to everyone, but when you think about it carefully, he seems to be very distant. This kind of behavior makes people naturally feel frightened towards him. "Principal Chen, the cadres all say that our Organization Department is the natal family of the cadres, but I think the Provincial Party School is the natal family of all our cadres." Liang Benchu ??shook hands with Chen Zigao again, with a smile on his face. Shaking slightly, the school leaders nearby couldn't help but secretly envy him. "The Provincial Party School is at most the teacher of the cadres. The so-called master leads the way to practice on an individual basis. The future achievements of the cadres are still created by their own efforts. So when it comes to relatives, the person in the Organization Department must be the cadres' biological uncle. "The always serious Chen Zigao also smiled, but he refused to be vague in his words. He knew that he had been sitting in the position of executive director of the Provincial Party School for long enough, and it was inevitable that some people would look at him with greedy eyes. At this time When Liang Benchu ??suddenly came to the Provincial Party School, he had an idea and became more cautious. "Then today we, a teacher and an uncle, will go and see what kind of mental outlook these young people have." Liang Benchu ??said with a smile, and then he turned back and smiled at Qu Xiangshan, who was talking to a vice principal some distance away. : "Minister Qu, let's go in and have a look together." Qu Xiangshan's lips pursed imperceptibly, but Liang Benchu's words "Minister Qu" directly opened up the status between the two people. Officialdom is very particular. It's just a ranking and a title. In front of so many people, Liang Benchu ??didn't call him Laoqu, but called him his position. Although he didn't add a subtitle to save face, but this kind of thing is related to moistening things. The silent feeling of alienation has put him and himself in two completely different positions. Sure enough, when the school leaders heard Liang Benchu's words, they gathered around him one after another. However, Liang Benchu ??did not just let them surround him into the auditorium. Instead, he still smiled at Qu Xiangshan until Qu Xiangshan walked up the steps and walked together with him. He just took a step forward and walked towards the door of the second auditorium. Qu Xiangshan felt helpless in his heart. He knew that he and Liang Benchu ??were still incomparable.He had never thought about quarreling with Liang Benchu, who was a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. However, Liang Benchu ??suddenly came to inspect the party school instead, which made Qu Xiangshan feel a knot in his heart. After all, this was Qu Xiangshan's appointment as deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. It was the minister's first official visit to the Provincial Party School for inspection. It was such an encounter, and it was difficult for him to tell others about his cowardice. As Liang Benchu ??and Qu Xiangshan walked into the auditorium surrounded by school leaders, the auditorium suddenly remembered the fierce applause. No one needed to be reminded. Everyone here has been in the officialdom for a long time. When should they applaud and sing? There is no shortage of people, but everyone is clean. When a vice-principal presiding over the ceremony loudly announced the names of the leaders present, a rather unexpected scene occurred. Liang Benchu, who was mentioned first, stood up from his chair when he heard his name being announced and addressed the students below. He bowed slightly in greeting, which surprised everyone! Next, Qu Xiangshan had to stand up and nod to the group of young people sitting below, and then all the school leaders from Chen Zigao on down followed suit and did this action that they had never done before. The auditorium was a little chaotic. Although the hundreds of students below could not talk in front of the leaders, Liang Benchu's move really broke his usual habit. After Liang Benchu ??started speaking, both the school leaders and the students, They all felt that this organizational minister had a completely different style from the leaders they had come into contact with before. Liang Benchu ??speaks cleanly, concisely, and logically. He does not explain things in lengthy speeches, but often explains it to you in just a few simple sentences. As for whether you understand it, he doesn't seem to care. But how many people can ignore the words of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister? The notebooks in the hands of the students came into play at this time. Many people were listening and quickly taking notes in their notebooks. For a while, in addition to Liang Benchu's speech, only bursts of rustling writing could be heard in the auditorium. Voice. When Liang Benchu ??finished his speech, a burst of warm applause immediately erupted in the auditorium, while Liang Benchu ??smiled slightly and made a slight gesture to the students below: "Comrades, I just want to express my feelings for you. I hope that many of you will have various contacts with organizational departments in your future work. I hope that what you learned today can help you when you face inspections by organizational departments in the future, and that you will have more experience in your future work. Enlightened." Liang Benchu's words once again received fierce applause. The students seemed to see some hope at this time, and the atmosphere in the auditorium became heated for a while. The following speeches by Qu Xiangshan and other school leaders seemed to be much more regular. They could not talk about things as wildly as Liang Benchu. They could only read according to the script they had written before. However, even so, they all won a round of wins. Warm applause. When the opening ceremony ended and Liang Benchu ??and Qu Xiangshan walked down the podium accompanied by everyone, the students stood up and gathered around on both sides. In fact, everyone knew very well that this was the highlight of the day. Show your face in front of the minister and sign up, but it all depends on the next deal. The students stood nervously on both sides. Although they couldn't push each other, it might be good to lean forward a little more and let Minister Liang take a look. In this way, the crowds on both sides were like two rows of red apricots lining the wall. It seemed like a slightly curved arch extending out in front of Liang Benchu. Liang Benchu ??had a modest smile on his face. He gently shook hands with the students who passed by. Qu Xiangdong, half a step behind him, also smiled and shook hands with those students. "Uncle Qu." When Qu Xiangdong shook hands with a student, the student suddenly called out. Qu Xiangshan was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled: "Xiao Tao, are you also coming to participate in this youth training class?" "Yes, Uncle Qu, come here and study more so that you can be more useful at work." Zhang Tao said excitedly. He didn't expect to meet Qu Xiangdong when he joined a youth training class. Speaking of which, his father, Zhang Wenliang, had just arrived. Not long ago, Taihua's relationship with Qu Xiangdong was only average. However, when he saw Qu Xiangdong at this time, he didn't care so much. He only wanted to strengthen the relationship if he could. Seeing that Liang Benchu ??was already looking over, He became even more excited. Liang Benchu ??had already taken two steps and stopped when he saw someone talking to Qu Xiangshan. However, when he stopped and looked around, he saw another young cadre standing next to the young man who was talking to Qu Xiangdong. "Are you Jiahui?" Liang Benchu ??asked with a smile the young cadre who had been standing calmly by the side. His opening not only caused people around him to look at the young man. "Hello, Minister Liang, I am Liu Jiahui." Liu Jiahui stretched out his hands to hold Liang Benchu's. Qu Xiangshan, who was listening to Zhang Tao¡¯s words, couldn¡¯t help but ask Liu Jiahui:After taking a glance, he turned to look at Liang Benchu. "The son of Vice Minister Liu of the Organization Department," Liang Benchu ??said with a faint smile. After hearing what he said, Qu Xiangshan looked at Liu Jiahui with a slightly different look. He couldn't help but frown secretly when he looked at Zhang Tao. Zhang Tao called him "Uncle Qu" when he opened his mouth. This obvious move of approaching actually made him feel uncomfortable. Satisfied, Liu Jiahui didn't say hello to Liang Benchu ??from beginning to end. Even if he was recognized, he only addressed his position. From this point of view, Zhang Tao and Liu Jiahui had already made a judgment. "Lao Qu, did you know that Jiahui also works in Taihua?" Liang Benchu ??said to Qu Xiangshan with a smile. Seeing Qu Xiangshan's surprised expression, he explained, "It's too early for you to raise your salary in the province. Jiahui is now working in Taihua." Pingling below Hua looks like a place called Daqing Township, right? "When I heard that Liang Benchu ??actually knew that Liu Jiahui was in such a small place as Daqing Township, the eyes of the people around him were almost naked when they looked at Liu Jiahui. He was filled with envy and jealousy. Even the school leaders looked at Liu Jiahui differently at this time. Liu Jiahui still responded calmly, without showing any pride on his face. The reason why he didn't rush out to make connections like Zhang Tao was because he knew it was not necessary. What was the reason why he was able to take the position of director of the new district in the first place? He knew the tricks very well, so it was of no use to him to compete for familiarity when they met twice. It was too much competition, and it made him look less graceful. "Jiahui, your new economic zone is doing well. It's impressive and impressive." Liang Benchu ??said. Seeing Liang Benchu ??stop, a group of school leaders gathered around him. This formation made Liu Jiahui, who was still calm, a little nervous. He knew what his future career would be like, and maybe it was his performance at this time. "Lao Qu, your Taihua produces talents," Liang Benchu ??said to Qu Xiangshan, "I remember that the person who proposed this economic zone construction plan was a young man from your Taihua named Du Yan, right?" Upon hearing this, Liang Benchu ??suddenly Mentioning the names of Du Yan, Qu Xiangshan, Liu Jiahui, and Zhang Tao's expressions couldn't help but change, while Chen Zigao next to him hesitated for a moment before turning around and whispering instructions to the staff behind him. "That young man is incredible. He has theory, experience and courage. The key is courage. He dares to do it when he thinks of it. He doesn't look forward or backward, and he doesn't worry about gains and losses." Liang Benchu ??said and nodded to Liu Jiahui, "Jiahui, your new economic zone is You must have this spirit, dare to think, dare to do, and dare to act. ""Don't worry, Minister Liang, we will definitely keep your instructions in mind." Liu Jiahui tried his best to keep a smile on his face. He didn't expect that Liang Benchu ??actually knew about Du Yan. I didn't expect to have such a high opinion of Du Yan. Liang Benchu ??nodded and turned around and walked out of the auditorium. The students followed behind under the leadership of the school leaders. When they came to the long steps outside the auditorium, the students walked down the steps from both sides and stopped at the bottom. Not far away, the cars lined up in two rows again and warmly applauded to bid farewell to the provincial party committee leaders. Liang Benchu ??just smiled as he stood on the steps. He had seen too much of this kind of bureaucracy, and the Party School, which is called a school and is actually a hotbed for cultivating bureaucrats, was even more typical of hierarchies. He stood closest to the car. Liu Jiahui and Zhang Tao, in just a short period of time, it is estimated that this class of students has already found their principal and deputy squad leader. Liang Benchu ??took a step forward, but before he stepped down the steps, he was stunned when he saw the scene below. A young man in a black suit stood on the open space under the last step between two rows of farewell crowds. He had a peaceful smile on his face. It seemed that the long rows of applauding students on both sides were also applauding and cheering for him. Although he looked up at himself, there was no flattering look on his face, but rather as if he was waiting for a friend he knew. "Minister Liang, let me introduce you," Chen Zigao pointed forward at the young man. "This is the Du Yan you just mentioned. He used to be the mayor of Taihua Pingling, and now he is a scientific researcher at the Youth Research Institute of the Provincial Party School. "Oh?" Liang Benchu ??walked down the steps, and when he was still a few steps away from Du Yan, he stretched out his hand: "Xiao Du, I have admired him for a long time." As soon as Liang Benchu ??said this, everyone around him stopped. I couldn't help but be shocked! Zhang Tao, who originally looked at Du Yan with disdain on his face, looked at Liu Jiahui next to him in astonishment. Although Liu Jiahui looked motionless, his clapping hands had stopped in mid-air. "Minister Liang, I don't dare to take your words seriously, and the younger generations don't dare to make mistakes." Du Yan's answer, which was neither humble nor overbearing, made the people around him even more shocked! What is this nonsense? Younger generation? What is the origin of this boy? Liang Benchu ??smiled. He knew that Du Yan's words were alluding to his relationship with Song Jiayi, and he may not have meant to use them to build momentum.??, but Liang Benchu ??didn't care about him taking advantage of his own power, because as far as he knew, this young man's several consecutive articles had attracted the attention of the upper class to a certain extent, and the struggle and game involved had already surpassed that of many people. Beyond imagination, even Liang Benchu ??didn't know where it would eventually develop. "Lao Qu, this is the young man I was talking about before, Du Yan from Taihua." Liang Benchu ??turned around and said to Qu Xiangshan. "I've heard of him, he's a nice young man." Qu Xiangshan said, looking at Du Yan with a strange look. "Xiao Du, do you have time?" Liang Benchu ??asked and then turned to Chen Zigao and said, "Principal Chen, I will lend it to Xiao Du, do you mind?" "Minister Liang is willing to guide him, which will help Xiao Du's progress. It's big." Chen Zigao said with a smile and told Du Yan, "Xiao Du, just let go of your work and listen to Minister Liang's arrangements from now on." Du Yan nodded and said that Liang Benchu ??got into the car, and then turned back to Zheng to follow the work. Du Yan, who was sitting in the car behind, waved and said: "Xiao Du, come to my car, let's talk first." Under the looks of hundreds of people who were surprised, stunned, envious, jealous, and mixed with jealousy, Du Yan turned around and Sitting in Liang Benchu's car. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua New Star" Chapter 45 Chapter 44 When it's time to break, it's time to break Du Yan got into Liang Benchu's car! This fact alone is enough to make people, whether they know Du Yan or not, have a profound impression on this young man! As for how much envy, jealousy, and even hatred it contains, there is no need to delve into it. Liu Jiahui looked at this scene with a smile on his face. He didn't even look at Zhang Tao's distorted face next to him. As for why Zhang Tao had a grudge with Du Yan, even if he didn't ask Zhang Tao, he would have told Zhang Tao urgently. For Zhang Tao, being able to get to know the son of the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee was already the biggest gain from this training. Moreover, Zhang Tao had already known from his father that Liu Jiahui's current position as director of the new district was the right one. It was "snatched" from Du Yan. Just for this reason, Zhang Tao felt that he and Liu Jiahui were in the same boat. However, Liu Jiahui didn¡¯t seem to pay much attention to Zhang Tao on this matter. Even when Zhang Tao was still nagging in a sour tone, Liu Jiahui had already followed the school leaders to the auditorium. After getting in the car, Liang Benchu, who had a kind expression, closed his eyes slightly, as if he was sitting quietly to recuperate, and had no intention of saying anything to Du Yan. Du Yan accompanied him silently, and Liang Benchu's secretary in front only said hello to Du Yan after getting in the car, and then kept looking ahead and never spoke again. For a while, the car fell into a slightly tense atmosphere. In an awkward silence. "Xiao Zhao, drive slowly," Liang Benchu, who had been closing his eyes and concentrating, suddenly ordered the driver. Upon hearing his words, Liang Benchu's secretary immediately leaned forward and waved to the guide car in front. There was no mobile phone at this time, and How to coordinate the relationship between the front and rear cars when the convoy is moving is also an aspect that tests the secretary. Liang Benchu's car is the second car in the convoy. In front is a guide car, behind is Qu Xiangshan's car, and finally is an accompanying car. staff of. Seeing that the guided vehicle in front of him slowed down very quickly, Du Yan couldn't help but admit that being a secretary to a big leader was indeed beyond the capabilities of a "two-handed swordsman" like himself. ¡°I heard that you were also the secretary of the county party committee when you were in Pingling?¡± Liang Benchu ??suddenly asked. "Yes, I have worked as a secretary for Secretary Li of the Pingling County Party Committee for more than half a year," Du Yan replied. "Many of the things that need correction in my work were corrected by Secretary Li under the guidance of Secretary Li." Liang Benchu ??nodded slightly, and then continued as if casually. "Then you and Xiao Chu have something in common. You can talk more if you have nothing to do." After listening to Liang Benchu's words, Liang Benchu's secretary who was sitting in front half turned around, smiled at Du Yan, and at the same time looked at him thoughtfully. Du Yan paused. Du Yan also immediately smiled back. He knew that Liang Benchu ??was definitely not making excuses when he said this. Obviously, he had a deep meaning. "How do you think the situation in the Soviet Union will develop?" Liang Benchu's thinking was very fast, and he suddenly asked this question. Du Yan was not overwhelmed by this sudden question. In fact, from the moment he got into Liang Benchu's car, he thought that Liang Benchu ??might ask this question. Of course, he might not say a word from the beginning to the end when he got off the car. It¡¯s also unknown. "I think the foundation of the Soviet Union has been shaken," Du Yan said. Liang Benchu, who had always looked calm, was slightly startled. He turned to look at Du Yan, and then motioned for him to continue, "The existence of the Soviet Union and all aspects have many problems." The big relationship is definitely not as simple as whether a country exists or not. The previous changes in Eastern European countries were enough to be a precursor to fundamental changes in the Soviet Union. Coupled with the previous actions of the three Baltic countries, all this is enough to set the stage for the current situation. It provides a reference, or an introduction, for the future direction of the Soviet republics. The most important thing is the current Russian president. He is a Russian nationalist. Although it cannot be said to be extreme, for him, Although the Soviet Union is actually Russia in the eyes of many Westerners, it is by no means what he thinks of Russia. I remember that in his speech on the relationship between the Soviet Union and Russia, he called the Soviet Union 'the fang biting on Russia's neck' ', Such a person will not allow the Soviet Union, a shadow that always hangs over Russia, to continue to exist. According to his words, Russia 'is the flesh and blood of the Russian nation and the Russian spirit', so I think maybe the next step It won't be long before the Soviet Union will undergo fundamental changes. " Du Yan analyzed rationally. Although everything he said had already happened in history, in order to understand it more deeply, Du Yan took this period of time. He collected almost all the information he could find. At least through Qiao Luowei, he got a lot of things from Zhao Xiaoyun that could not be seen casually at this time. Combined with what he knew about the situation at the time in later generations, in person He could only talk so eloquently to Liang Benchu. ¡°Fundamental changes, do you think the Soviet Union?" Liang Benchu ??stopped when he asked. There are some things that Du Yan can say. If he says something wrong, Du Yan will be responsible at most, but he can't say it out, even if it's just a private conversation. "You write down these thoughts. Come out, and learn from the impressions and lessons learned about the changes that have taken place in the Soviet Union on our country. Write these things down and give them to Xiao Chu. " Du Yan nodded slightly, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, since he woke up from the dream, what he has been secretly planning and waiting for is this opportunity! Whether it is Guo Songlin's overt gun or hidden arrow, or Liu Jiahui's plunder, or even Being treated as a sacrificial bargaining chip by the Song family, Du Yan has been holding back and waiting. He knows that with his background and strength, it is impossible to fight against those people, and even if he shows the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, he may. Someone will find an opportunity to trample him to death! Personality, publicity, and mavericks are the aliens who are not favored by others in the domestic officialdom. If a person without strong strength still insists on playing with personality and publicity, then the only result will be It¡¯s just a word of death! Ding Bingxian is right, only a stable position in officialdom can be achieved. Before you have your own strength, you must be patient, patient, and patient! Only in this way can you find the opportunity to soar into the sky! The opportunity finally came. In fact, he knew that even Liang Benzhu in front of him was not the person he really expected to make him fly into the sky. However, after many preparations, Du Yan had already published articles that caused controversy among the upper class. He was prepared for this final desperate move, but now Liang Benchu's appearance gave him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity despite his original preparations. Liang Benchu ??didn't speak, and the car fell into silence again, and the car slowly slowed down. While walking on the street, Du Yan looked outside and saw all the people walking on the street outside the car. Du Yan suddenly felt as if he was on a completely different side from the outside world. But this side was not like that. It seems that he is close to a certain privileged circle and looks down on the world, but it is a kind of understanding that seems to have gradually seen through something. If Du Yan had felt this so-called "seeing through" before, then now he This feeling suddenly became extremely strong. Until the car stopped in the parking lot of the provincial party committee compound, Liang Benchu ??said nothing. However, after Du Yan walked out of the car with him, Liang Benchu ??turned around and looked up and down. Du Yan, after seeming to think for a moment, said something that was quite baffling to Du Yan: "Young people should take care of themselves, seize opportunities, and see clearly the good deeds of some people. " After finishing speaking, he said to the secretary who was following him: "Xiao Chu, I don't need a car in the afternoon. It's far enough for Xiao Du to go back to the party school. You can make some arrangements. " After listening to Liang Benchu's words, Xiao Chu's heart skipped a beat. As a secretary who has been with Liang Benchu ??for many years, he certainly knows what his boss means by his words, and he can also better understand the countless possibilities behind this sentence. " Thinking like this, Xiao Chu's eyes changed again when he looked at Du Yan. Before, he only regarded Du Yan as a rising star among the young cadres that Liang Benchu ??was optimistic about and could train. Now it seems that it is not that simple. Seeing that Liang Benchu ??has gone to the Provincial Party Committee Building alone. After walking quickly to the car and giving some instructions to the driver, Xiao Chu walked up to Du Yan and took out a small notebook and wrote a few words on it: "Xiao Du, this is my phone number. From now on, Contact me directly if you have any questions. " "Thank you, Brother Chu. I won't bother you again in the future. " Du Yan also handed a piece of paper that he had torn out from his notebook to Xiao Chu. Although at this time, business cards with various names printed on them were already flying all over the shopping mall. The so-called "managers are everywhere." "It's not as good as a dog to be crushed to death." However, this trend has not yet emerged in the officialdom. It will not gradually become popular until a few years later. Although Du Yan feels that business cards are indeed convenient, at this time he can only follow the trend. , anything that is too unconventional will always be shot out. This is different from writing articles. Writing articles is about having a novel idea and getting the first start. In official circles, people more hope that they will not be so eye-catching. , unless it¡¯s time to fight for wealth and a future. When Du Yan got back into Liang Benchu¡¯s car arranged by Xiao Chu, Du Yan noticed that Qu Xiangshan, who had already gotten off the car, was looking towards him. As Li Peizheng¡¯s former secretary, Li Peizheng is also a general of Qu Xiangshan's group. Logically speaking, Du Yan should go to say hello to Qu Xiangshan alone. Even if it is inconvenient in front of so many people at the provincial party school, Du Yan should go over to say hello at this time. But Du Yan. But he had no intention of saying hello to Qu Xiangshan! During the Huachang capital case, Qu Xiangshan¡¯s last instruction to Li Peizheng was to ¡°give up Du Yan.¡± Even if Li Peizheng didn¡¯t say this to Du Yan, he could learn from various reasons.Phenomenally speaking, Du Yan can already feel the joints. This can only be seen from the fact that Li Peizheng always only ran for Du Yan in his own name. Then when the storm passed, Li Peizheng seemed to be unaware of many situations. This sign can be seen. Qu Xiangshan probably chose to give up on Du Yan completely when he heard about this incident from the beginning, and then he seemed to avoid it, fearing that someone would take advantage of a small person at the critical moment of his progress. The secretary of the county party committee followed the clues and got involved in his own side. It is precisely because of this that Du Yan can imagine that when he was planning to give up on himself at the beginning, when he heard that there was another reason for the capital case, Qu Xiangshan would not only not wade into this muddy water easily, but also would not allow it. Li Peizheng continued to follow suit. But this was not the real reason why Du Yan deliberately pretended to have nothing to do with Qu Xiangshan. What really made him do this was Liang Benchu's attitude towards him today and the questions he asked in the car. Whether Liang Benchu ??regarded him as a member of the Song family was secondary. The key was that his inquiries and the articles he prepared for Du Yan to write again made Du Yan realize that Liang Benchu's words and deeds and his actions were related to the Song family. As a person with deep connections, it is obvious that Du Yan cannot accept Du Yan as a member of Yang Weiquan's family as Li Peizheng's former secretary. In addition, judging from the articles Du Yan has written so far, it is already destined to be impossible to be a member of the Yang family faction, which is well-known for being conservative in the country, even if it is just an insignificant pawn. ?? And nearly a year of observation and contact after waking up from the dream, as well as various experiences in the capital case, have made Du Yan realize that it is no longer possible for him to enter Yang Weiquan's circle in Hexi Province through Li Peizheng. Since this is the case, then let¡¯s break it off and completely put an end to this unsatisfactory relationship! Du Yan looked at Du Yan in the distance without even looking at him. He turned around and sat in the passenger seat of Liang Benchu's transfer car. Qu Xiangshan's face suddenly darkened, but he didn't say anything. He had already walked up a long flight of steps and was heading down. Liang Benchu ??walked over while watching. "Minister Liang, you care very much about young people," Qu Xiangshan said with a smile on his face. At this time, it was impossible to see how annoyed he was. "Xiao Du is a talented person, he also knows how to read the situation, and he is very smart." Liang Benchu ??smiled and said nothing but nodded. Secretary Xiao Chu, who was following him, couldn't help but glance at Qu Xiangshan. The leader said that the people below would be smart based on the situation, but it was really not a good comment. The training period of the grassroots youth cadre training class is to be fully off-duty for half a month, which brings Du Yan and Liu Jiahui into more contact. Liu Jiahui was still so cheerful and steady. Although Du Yan first got into Liang Benchu's car that day and was then sent back in the original car, the fact shocked the entire Provincial Party School, and many professors and lecturers at the Youth Research Institute did not dare to do it again. Liu Jiahui always yelled at Du Yan as before, and even some school leaders would talk to Du Yan from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, but Liu Jiahui always treated Du Yan in a way that was neither very close, but made people feel that they had shared the same experience. The attitude of maintaining a good relationship among colleagues. This made Du Yan couldn't help but pay attention to Liu Jiahui. In Du Yan's view, Liu Jiahui was a typical person who was most suitable for officialdom. He was indifferent to emotions and anger, and could hold back and wait for opportunities. The most important thing was that Liu Jiahui was Yes, this person is thick-skinned and dark-hearted. Even though you knew he had tricked you before, he seemed to have no problem at all. It can be said that he has learned the essence of thick black science. . Compared with Liu Jiahui, Zhang Tao seems too superficial. He had never dealt with Du Yan. If it weren't for the scandal that Liang Benchu ??did before, he would have found a way to find trouble with Du Yan. However, Even though he didn't dare to act rashly because he couldn't figure out the details of Du Yan, he always looked at Du Yan with displeasure, but there was nothing he could do about it. "National Day" arrived soon. Du Yan, who had gotten up early, put on a pair of neat clothes, a pair of straight jeans, a wide-grained cotton shirt, and a pair of white sneakers, which he bought at a nearby shopping mall the day before yesterday. , and also took the opportunity to get a short crew cut, which was rare in this era, at a nearby barber shop. He really has no interest in the outdated clothing taste of this era, but the working environment of the party school really does not allow him to wear too novel clothing. With no other choice, he can only be so-called "youthful and beautiful". As for Even if people couldn't stop looking at her even when she was wearing such clothes while walking on campus, there was nothing she could do about it. Today is the day he made an appointment with Su Qian. Su Qian called him two days ago and said she would come to see him while the work was on holiday. This made Du Yan very happy. Ever since he woke up from the dream, he always got together and left. When can two people really be together? Du Yan asked this again and again. ¡°In addition, deep down in his heart, he also had some secret worries. What he was worried about was not Su Qian but himself. He had a strange feeling towards Qiao Luowei that he was almost unaware of before.As the two people met less and less, they gradually faded away, but Zhao Xiaoyun, a person he had never thought of, unexpectedly broke into his life. Every time he thought of Zhao Xiaoyun, Du Yan felt helpless. He didn't know what kind of feelings he had for that girl. Ever since that ambiguous night in the alley, every time he saw Both she and he would involuntarily have the urge to conquer this tough female soldier, and the more Zhao Xiaoyun resisted, the more he fell into this game and couldn't extricate himself. So Du Yan can only look forward to spending more time with Su Qian. Maybe in this way, he can gradually wake up. As Zhao Xiaoyun said, he cannot "let down Su Qian." Du Yan was holding a plastic bag in his hand, which contained clothes he bought for Su Qian. With Du Yan's vision that was twenty years ahead of the times, he would naturally not buy clothes for Su Qian that were only bright in color but looked tacky. He took a fancy to a dark green shoulder-length skirt, paired with a matching aqua shirt that he chose to wear underneath. Du Yan believed that only Su Qian could look so tranquil in this outfit. There is a graceful temperament in it. On the phone, the two of them made an appointment at the entrance of the newly opened Huayang Shopping Mall, not far from the party school. Although the time seemed a bit tight to arrive by car in the morning, Du Yan had actually made up his mind that he would not let him go today no matter what. Su Qian went back. The two of them had not been intimate for a long time. Du Yan felt his heart burning when he thought of this. Huayang Shopping Mall is a large shopping mall that has just opened recently. Although it is a new store, not only is it not inferior to the old brand Tongyang Shopping Mall in terms of area, grade and taste, it is even more novel and unique in the layout and concept of many shopping malls. This Even in the eyes of Du Yan, who has the vision of future generations, he already has quite a lot of class and vision. There is a small leisure area on the first floor of Huayang Shopping Mall, where people who are tired from shopping can have a cold drink and sit there to rest. This is still a very novel idea in this era. It is still early. Du Yan walked into the leisure area, ready to order a glass of juice and sit down to wait for Su Qian. But when he walked into the leisure area, he saw a scene that surprised him. In front of a table by the window, Zhang Tao was bending over and smilingly passing a drink to Su Qian who was sitting in the chair. Next to her, Gu Weifen was reaching out under the table to gently pull at the corner of Su Qian's clothes. Du Yan saw Su Qian smile at Zhang Tao, take the cup, lower her head and take a sip with a straw. At this moment, Du Yan's heart suddenly went cold! He stood steadily at the entrance of the leisure area, looking at the three people at the table in the distance, until someone behind him urged him dissatisfied because he was blocking the way. At this time, Chinese people were not used to this type of public open leisure area. There were not many people around, so the scene at the entrance naturally attracted the attention of the people inside. Du Yan saw Su Qian raise her head, and she looked like that when she saw him. When he looked up, Du Yan's heart suddenly lightened. Zhang Tao and Gu Weifen also saw Su Qian standing in the distance. They had different expressions on their faces. Zhang Tao frowned at first and then showed a hint of provocation, while Gu Weifen looked anxious, annoyed, and even a little scared. Zhang Tao and Zhang Tao looked back and forth. But Du Yan only had Su Qian in his eyes. Just now, when Su Qian saw him, what he saw in Su Qian's eyes was joy and a little uneasiness, but there was no guilt at all, because she had no guilt in her heart. "Su Qian, have you waited a moment?" Du Yan said to Su Qian that in his eyes Zhang Tao did not exist at all. As for Gu Weifen, he was really helpless and couldn't just evaporate Gu Weifen into the world. "I just came, my mother said she wanted to come with me." Su Qian added immediately after finishing speaking, and she glanced at Gu Weifen reproachfully. "Xiao Zhang, you said that your dad can help your Uncle Su move his job. Is that true?" Gu Weifen ignored Du Yan and asked Zhang Tao, "Your uncle Su's workplace is in a recession, if you can think of a way It would be great to help. You are the only one who can help me. Who else can I count on?" Gu Weifen said and glanced at Du Yan. She was interested when her daughter said she wanted to come to Tongyang and insisted on following her. She couldn't come, and she contacted Zhang Tao privately using the phone number Zhang Tao left for her at the party school. What she wanted was to find a way for her daughter to meet Zhang Tao halfway, but she didn't expect that this "bastard" would come to her door. Now that she was talking to Zhang Tao about her husband's job transfer, Gu Weifen was determined to embarrass Du Yan, so she gave up. "Aunt Gu, look at what you said. I will take care of Uncle Su's affairs. Just tell my dad and he will definitely take care of it." Zhang Tao also didn't even look at Du Yan. He was suppressed by Du Yan in the provincial party school before. In the limelight, I feel like I have finally regained my reputation at this time. What¡¯s the point of the Provincial Party Committee¡¯s Organization Minister looking up to you? Can you compare with me, who is the Municipal Party Committee Secretary? "It's a pity that Zhang Tao doesn't know a word,"You have long shouted loudly: What era is this? This is an era of fighting for your father! Su Qian's face turned slightly pale. The table was round and she was sitting inside. Zhang Tao and Gu Weifen were sitting on both sides. The table between her and Du Yan seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. She knew that her father¡¯s work unit was in a downturn and was thinking of transferring him, but she didn¡¯t expect that Gu Weifen actually went to Zhang Tao to ask for help, and in front of Du Yan! Du Yan silently watched the performances of the two people in front of him. He really had nothing to do with Gu Weifen. No matter in this life or in the previous life, he could only tolerate it because she was not only Su Qian's mother, but also his mother-in-law. There are two parents. No matter how bad the parents are, the children cannot lose the most basic filial piety. This is the foundation of being a human being. But for Zhang Tao, Du Yan really couldn't find any reason to be polite to this kid, and he didn't bother to bother with him anymore. Looking at Zhang Tao¡¯s flat face, Du Yan punched him without saying a word! Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 46 Chapter 45 Tit for Tat No one expected Du Yan to take action! Even Zhang Tao, whose face was covered with blood after the hit, only showed a look of shock when the fist was swung in front of his eyes, but then Du Yan's fist that hit him like a storm made him instantly stunned. Let out a scream of pain! "Du Yan!" Su Qian was completely stunned. She shouted loudly. She instinctively wanted to pull Du Yan away, but she stopped strangely. She was already resentful of Zhang Tao's entanglement, but she dared to get angry because of his family's power. Su Qian, who didn't dare to speak, even felt relieved at this moment, but then she thought that Du Yan was in trouble. He was the son of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and Taihua's yamen! Thinking of this, Su Qian immediately rushed forward and hugged Du Yan's arm tightly, but her head was buried in Du Yan's arms and she couldn't help crying. Although Du Yan beat Zhang Tao, she was happy in her heart. This long-term grievance, long-term grievance, The helplessness, and even the rumors that spread among friends in the workplace because of Zhang Tao's entanglement, seemed to be vented at this moment with Du Yan's fist. Gu Weifen has been completely petrified. She never expected that Du Yan would be so bold as to dare to hit the son of the municipal party committee secretary. This, isn't this a rebellion! She stretched out her finger and pointed at Du Yan, her mouth trembling but unable to speak. When she saw Su Qian going over to hug Du Yan tightly, she was about to say something, but was frightened by the stern look Du Yan glanced at her and shrank back. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????. Du Yan¡¯s fists were covered in blood! There are Zhang Tao's and his own on there! At this time, Zhang Tao was completely stunned. He huddled up under the table. Apart from holding his head and face with his arms, he had no ability to fight back. He never thought that Du Yan would dare to hit him. Beat him so hard. When he met Du Yan for the first time, he didn't know who he was, so he dared to say harsh words. When he met again at the provincial party school, Du Yan's forbearance made him feel that he had a good old man and was omnipotent, although Du Yan seemed to have obtained the leadership of the provincial party committee. However, Zhang Tao did not believe that Liang Benchu ??would stand up for Du Yan, who had nothing to do with him. So he continued to attack Su Qian without any care. But this sudden punch really beat him up badly. He touched his face which was covered with blood, opened his eyes that had been beaten black and blue like rotten peaches, huddled under the table and used the broken Zhang Tao, whose lips were blurred, shouted: "Du, you beat me to death! If you can't beat me to death, I will kill your whole family!" Su Qian felt Du Yan's body suddenly pause, and she immediately became uneasy. Looking at Du Yan, she saw his eyes narrowed slightly, and then his jaw twitched. Su Qian, who had been familiar with his movements since she was a child, immediately grabbed Du Yan's arm and shouted into his ear: "Du Yan, don't do stupid things! Don't do stupid things! It's not worth it for him! What will our parents do if something happens to you! What will happen to Xiao Fei! What do you want me to do!" Du Yan's body was shaking slightly Trembling and anger made his throat keep moving, but his mind was actually very clear from the beginning. Even when he kept waving his fists and hitting Zhang Tao's face, he knew what he should do, so Although Zhang Tao's injuries seemed serious, they were all superficial injuries. On the contrary, when Du Yan's fist hit the corner of Zhang Tao's mouth, a piece of skin was broken by his teeth. However, this punch had already loosened Zhang Tao's front teeth, and the blood that flowed out of his mouth was such that Da Xiao had never seen anything like this before. Zhang Tao, who had suffered a loss, was already scared out of his mind. Looking at Du Yan like that, he was really afraid that Du Yan would rush up and kill him! "Qianqian, what are you talking nonsense about?" After hearing what his daughter said, Gu Weifen couldn't help but walked over and grabbed Su Qian. "You, a big girl, are calling your parents nonsense in front of so many people. Why do you still want to Face? " Du Yan suddenly looked back at Gu Weifen. The disgust on his face was not concealed. Even if he could not change the fact that Gu Weifen was Su Qian's mother, Du Yan still wanted to let her know how much he hated her. Because this powerful woman hurt not only Du Yan himself, but Su Qian and his family again and again. Gu Weifen had a sudden reaction. Du Yan today was really scary. He looked as if he was going to bite someone at any time. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hide behind Su Qian. Fortunately, Du Yan took advantage of it and went to Su Qian. Zhang Tao walked away without looking at her again, but this made Su Qian nervous again. "Don't worry, I won't do anything to him." Du Yan gently patted Su Qian's hand and held his hand tightly. Seeing Su Qian take out a handkerchief to wrap the wound on the back of his hand, Du Yan showed a gentle expression. smile, but when he turned around and saw Zhang Tao, his eyes became cold, even a little cruel. He squatted down, looked at Zhang Tao who was huddled under the table for a while, and then reached out to lift him from the table."Zhang Tao, if I'm talking to you today, I don't care if you do harm to me, but if you dare to use your brain to touch my family, I tell you not to say it's you, you are the one who is the one." I want to make the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee regret it." Du Yan's eyes are serious, Zhang Tao can really see it! And his voice was not low, and he didn't even care whether it was heard by the onlookers. This made Zhang Tao believe that he really meant what he said! But just as Du Yan finished saying this, a voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Oh, you are so crazy. Even the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee doesn't look down on you. What door hole did you come from? You are a toad. You are so arrogant. Hearing this flowing voice with a typical capital accent, Zhang Tao, who was already frightened by Du Yan, shouted behind Du Yan as if he had seen a savior: "Cousin! Come on!" !" Du Yan stood up and turned around and saw a short, fat young man standing outside the crowd. After people made way for him, Du Yan noticed a taller man behind him. A very big man, nearly a head taller. "Grandson, how dare you hit my cousin?" The short fat man was blocked by the crowd and couldn't see clearly before. When he came over and saw Zhang Tao's unlucky look, his originally sarcastic expression changed. . "Grandson, whose crotch fell off and exposed you?" Du Yan suddenly asked in the same authentic Beijing accent. The person next to him who understood what he said immediately burst into laughter. Su Qian turned red and looked at it strangely. Du Yan's hand tightened. "You can't tell he's still a talker," the short fat man said, but his eyes kept glancing at Su Qian, which made Du Yan's face look ugly. "You can tell yourself what to do." "It's nothing. "Do it, take your cousin and get out!" Du Yan said coldly. Although he didn't know which company Zhang Tao's father Zhang Wenliang was related to in the capital, he was able to rise from a low-ranking deputy mayor to executive deputy. The mayor, who would be promoted to deputy secretary of the municipal party committee in less than a year, seemed to have some background, but Du Yan didn't want to think too much about these things at this time. When doing things for others, you should be tolerant. In the official career, it is even more important to be tempted and tolerant. However, this tolerance does not mean that you must endure everything that cannot be tolerated, let alone tolerate things. Because if you endure something once, it will happen a second time, a third time, and more times. That does not mean patience, but fear and retreat. And once a person becomes afraid and shrinks, it will no longer be possible to control himself! "You're so arrogant after beating someone, which family do you belong to?" The short fat man said, looking back at the follower behind him. Although he came from the capital, as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, so he had to find out the origin of the other party first. . "Cousin, don't let him be fooled, he comes from a stinking worker's family!" Zhang Tao, who had already emerged from under the table, walked around Du Yan and ran to his cousin and shouted. His words made Du Yan frown slightly and then Zhang Tao laughed. It seemed that there was something wrong with the education of Zhang Wenliang's family. There were certain words and facts that could not be said in China. At least as soon as Zhang Tao said these words, most of the people watching the excitement looked at him with disgust. "You've been making trouble for a long time, and you came here to pretend to be a big man." The fat man turned around and looked at Zhang Tao contemptuously, "I said you are the same, you dare to beat you like this with just such a thing, you are too shameless, right?" ?¡± As he spoke, the fat man turned back to the follower behind him who was already eager to try: ¡°Go give this grandson a good beating and send him to the police station. Any injuries will be mine!¡± The burly follower walked over slowly and looked at him. Du Yan pushed Su Qian, who was pale but still clutching his arm, slightly behind him. At the same time, his eyes glanced behind the fat man casually, and then he suddenly said: "You don't know that you are in a public place." "Are you deliberately provoking me?" "Don't talk nonsense. Didn't you feel proud of beating someone just now?" The follower glanced at Du Yan's bloody hand. Years of fighting experience told him that this hand should be Injured when hitting someone. "What's going on?!" A very stern voice came from outside the crowd, and then several people pushed aside the crowd watching the excitement and walked in. Judging from their clothes, these people should be people from the shopping mall. At this time, professional security had not yet emerged. Some large public places relied on their own internal security personnel and co-workers to maintain law and order. When they saw people with red armbands on their sleeves, some people watching the excitement left immediately, but most people still Surrounded there, the habit of Chinese people who like to watch is really vividly displayed at this time. The leader was a dark, fat man with a rough appearance. His face looked as if it had been rubbed with coarse sandpaper. He had an ugly face and was out of breath. He probably ran over after hearing the news and saw people in the crowd. Luan Jin, he is already very uglyIt's even more gloomy. "What's going on? Who is fighting here?" "Comrade, this man is hitting someone! I want to call the police!" Zhang Tao immediately pulled his cousin. Although relying on my power was a bit domineering, Zhang Tao It's not stupid. Now that people are coming to the mall, we can't let my cousin's followers take action. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Could we put this kid in charge of the police station? As long as he is in the police station, Du Yan will not be able to stay in the Provincial Party School any longer. "Did you hit me?" The fat black man asked Du Yan with an annoyed look on his face. He was indeed very annoyed. Today, he happened to catch up with the senior management of Huayang Shopping Mall for inspection. Everyone in the mall was very nervous, but something happened. Someone was fighting in the rest area, which made the fat black man in charge of security feel indescribably annoyed. "This man is harassing my girlfriend." Du Yan said calmly. "You guys come to the security room with me and disperse. Stop crowding around." The fat black man frowned and shouted to everyone around. After following the fat man to the security room, Zhang Tao immediately offered to make a call. However, after the fat man saw their work IDs, he did not dare to make mistakes easily. Du Yan¡¯s work permit was that of a researcher at the Provincial Party School, and Zhang Tao showed that in addition to the work permit from the Taihua City Finance Bureau, he also had a student pass from the Provincial Party School. This made the fat man feel that this matter was really beyond his control. Zhang Tao went to call, but Du Yan ignored him. He naturally knew what Zhang Tao was thinking, but sometimes a more direct method should be used to deal with people like Zhang Tao. As for bringing the matter to the Provincial Party School, he was not worried. , in fact, from the moment he decided to punch Zhang Tao, he knew that his future path might have to be different from others. At least he wants some people to know that it doesn't matter if it's against him. Since he has entered the official career, he must be aware of the ups and downs in the official career. However, if he targets the relatives around him, no matter what his intentions are, that's all. It violated Du Yan's biggest taboo! In domestic politics, the bad habit of harming family members has been passed down for thousands of years and has never changed. Especially after entering modern times, this bad habit has been vividly interpreted. Du Yan must protect his relatives from the wind and rain. , let alone allow some thoughtful people to take advantage of it in the future. As for what the provincial party school would do when they heard the news, Du Yan didn't care, because he knew that his time to stay there was probably running out. "You guys decide what to do, resolve it through negotiation or report it?" The fat man sat in the corner of the room and raised his voice to the two parties confronting each other. If the mall leaders hadn't come to inspect, he would have kicked these people out long ago. Just look at the work permit. He can't mess with anyone. The Provincial Party School, is this someone that a shopping mall security guard like him can handle? As for the young man who is fatter than him, judging by his accent and the follower he brings, he might be some young master from the capital, so he should stay out of it. "We need to call the police." Zhang Tao had calmed down a lot at this time. He put down the phone and glared at Du Yan fiercely. "I already called our work unit and someone from the unit came after a while. We need to call the police on this matter. I want to file a complaint." He's hurt!" "Whatever you want." Du Yan's tone was still very calm, but it was different from when he suddenly hit someone, but this made Su Qian even more worried. Years of being in love made Su Qian treat Du Yan more than others. Familiar, she knew that the more this happened, the more Du Yan was determined to end things with Zhang Tao, which made her worry that Du Yan would do something stupid because he couldn't control himself for a moment. In fact, Du Yan also thought about making a call. He had already written down the number of Liang Benchu's secretary Xiao Chu, but he knew that it was one thing for Liang Benchu ??to think highly of him, but for Xiao Chu to stand up for him, he had to see whether the matter was true. That's it. "It's not good to bother people with some big things, but it's also inappropriate to bother people with some things that are too small. But the heat must be mastered." Gu Weifen stood beside Su Qian with an uneasy expression. She wanted to talk to Zhang Tao, but she was a little scared looking at Zhang Tao's badly beaten face. Speaking of which, she also regretted bringing Su Qian to Tongyang. I told Zhang Tao. I originally thought that I would take advantage of Zhang Tao and her happiness to see Su Qian to mention the transfer of work for her husband, but now it seems that this matter is getting bigger and bigger. Unlike the last time at her house, I just said words to drive him away. Compared with Zhang Tao, this time Du Yan actually beat Zhang Tao into this state. When she thought of Su Qian defending Du Yan in front of so many people, and Zhang Tao might be angry with her mother and daughter, Gu Weifen felt regretful but also secretly afraid. "Cousin, are the people in your unit useful? Do you want me to call the provincial department to bring a few people over?" As soon as Zhang Tao's cousin spoke, the people in the room were startled. "Don't worry, it's the leader of the provincial party school, he's fair." Zhang Tao saidHe stared at Du Yan and Su Qian fiercely. At this time, he also hated Su Qian. This girl made it difficult for him to get off the stage in front of so many people. Judging from their virtues, they might have gone to bed together early. Unfortunately, He is still so obsessed with her, maybe he is a loser. With this thought in his mind, Zhang Tao's eyes swept towards Su Qian's body. Suddenly his vision went dark, and there was a "pop" sound. Along with the pain, Zhang Tao couldn't help but let out a scream! But when Du Yan saw Zhang Tao looking at Su Qian, he became angry, grabbed a printing box on the table next to him and threw it on his head! "You kid!" Short Fatty's follower punched and rushed towards Du Yan, but Du Yan had already paid attention to him when he smashed out the printing box. Just as the follower took a step forward, Du Yan pulled him over to the table. The chair hit his leg hard! "Bang!" The attendant couldn't help but bend down in pain, and then the chair in Du Yan's hand hit him hard on the back! He was knocked to the ground before he had time to use all his abilities. "Stop it!" The fat black man couldn't bear it anymore and shouted. These people started fighting in the security room. They didn't take him seriously! Looking at the follower crawling on the ground, Du Yan couldn't help but think of some unforgettable things that happened many years before he woke up from the dream. "If you don't take action, that's it. If you do it, you must leave the opponent with no chance to fight back. The more powerful you are against an opponent, the more you must remember this." The person who said this was a girl who was many years younger than him at the time, and When she said this, there were lying at her feet a few hooligans who had been beaten so hard by her that they dared not move Han Bing, this name that he could not forget quickly flashed through Du Yan's mind, but that was not what he was thinking about at this time. At that time, Du Yan glanced at the livid mall security guard, said "I want to make a call" and walked to the table and picked up the phone. He knew that he had fallen into a passive position after taking action twice. Now was not the time to show off as a hero. It seemed that the phone call that should be made still had to be made. In addition, from Zhang Tao's words just now, he had already vaguely guessed the school leadership meeting that would appear soon. who is it. Sure enough, not long after Du Yan put down the phone, when the smell of gunpowder filled the security room, someone said something outside the door, and then the door opened, and Gu Weihan walked in with a gloomy look. Seeing the scene in the room, Gu Weihan was stunned. Then she turned back to Zhang Tao who was holding his forehead and asked: "Are you Zhang Tao from the youth training class? Is it you who called?" "Director Gu, you are But here it comes!" As soon as Zhang Tao put down his hand, Gu Weihan was shocked. Zhang Tao, who had been beaten badly, was hit by the printing box. His forehead was already bruised, and the red sealing oil in the printing box was stained. When it comes to his face, that look is really scary. "Du Yan, you are so presumptuous!" Gu Weihan turned around with a livid face and shouted at Du Yan, "As a staff member of the Provincial Party School, you fight outside to damage the image of the Provincial Party School, and you are so vicious. What are you doing? Do you know his nature? ¡± ¡°Director Gu, right?¡± The short fat man came over and held out his hand. Although he was arrogant like a second-generation ancestor, his years of education made him serious, and he naturally showed the traces of his family influence. "I am Zhang Tao's cousin, my name is Sui Bo, and I am friends with Fang Yuanchao, the son of the Provincial Department of Fang Ding." As soon as the man named Sui Bo spoke, Gu Weihan couldn't help but be stunned. Fang, the former public security director of Tongyang City A few months ago, Zhen was transferred to the Provincial Public Security Department as the deputy director responsible for public security management. However, this was the result of a game between Tongyang Municipal Party Committee Secretary Zhang Sheng and Mayor Han Jiaqi. It was difficult to tell who won and who lost. Zhang Tao is the son of Zhang Wenliang, deputy secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee. Gu Weihan knew that, so she, who was originally hostile to Du Yan, immediately showed her favor to Zhang Tao as soon as she entered the door. However, she did not expect that Zhang Tao, her cousin, would see this. The background was not small, and for a while Gu Weihan felt that he had done a good job. "Hello, are you also a party to this matter?" Gu Weihan tried to be as neutral as possible. After all, he was still in front of outsiders. Besides, both parties were considered to be members of the provincial party school. It would not be nice to spread the commotion. "My cousin and I came here to play. Unexpectedly, we met this man. Not only did he hurt my cousin twice, but he also beat up a friend of mine who tried to break up the fight," Sui Bo said, pointing to the man who had just left the ground. He got up, but was still dizzy. "Director Gu, I think this matter cannot be solved by the unit alone. Although my cousin also attends the provincial party school, I think we should report the case directly. We have to sue this person." Hearing Sui Gu Weihan was a little embarrassed about Sui Bo's words. She knew that Sui Bo should have some background, but it involved the Provincial Party School. If the case was reported, it would have some bad effects. Gu Weihan's face darkened when she thought of this. She turned back and glared at Du Yan and said stiffly: "Look at youWhat did you say? What a bad influence you caused on our Provincial Party School! We treat you, an unorganized and undisciplined black sheep, with the attitude of treating illnesses and saving lives, but your behavior is severing your relationship with the organization" "Director Gu! "Du Yan suddenly interrupted Gu Weihan's words loudly. Because the voice was too loud, Gu Weihan couldn't help but be stunned. "Director Gu, there is something wrong with your tone. What is curing diseases and saving people, what is self-extinction and organization, don't you? Do you think this is a typical Cultural Revolution attitude? ! " Du Yan had a touch of sarcasm on his face. He knew that most people of Gu Weihan's age had experienced that crazy era, and the atmosphere of talking about Marxist-Leninist class struggle had already penetrated into the bones of many of them. Although the Cultural Revolution had passed many years ago, This habitual tone is often exposed involuntarily, especially when they think they have grasped the opponent's leverage, the Marxist-Leninist habit of bayoneting will be exposed involuntarily. "And Director Gu, you. As soon as you come in, you don't ask any questions and just listen to one side of the story. Let me ask you, if someone keeps harassing you, but your husband turns a blind eye to this harasser, what would you think? He! Du Yan pointed at Zhang Tao, "He has been harassing my girlfriend since we were in Pingling. We have been in love for a long time. This acquaintance who is slightly familiar with our situation knows that, but he has been pestering my girlfriend. My girlfriend and I agreed to meet here today, and he also came here to harass me. I would like to ask, as a woman, can you accept your husband casually harassing and pestering other women, or can you tolerate a man who allows you to be harassed? , but an indifferent husband? " Gu Weihan listened to Du Yan's words with a livid face. She didn't expect that this young man who usually seemed harmless to humans and animals would speak so viciously. Not only did he put her on the line, he even asked her such vicious questions. "And," Du Yan didn't wait for Gu Weihan to speak and continued, "As a party member and cadre, he has serious ideological problems. Just now in front of so many onlookers, he publicly said that I am just a stinky worker. I would like to ask Director Gu, what is the origin of our party and what class is our political power? Should such words and deeds be said by a party member cadre, especially a grassroots backbone who is receiving training from the Provincial Party Committee Party School? What kind of thinking is this? As the leader of the Provincial Party School, you support people who say such things. I would like to ask you, Director Gu, what are your motives and stance? ! " Gu Weihan was completely stunned. She suddenly turned her head and looked at Zhang Tao. When she saw Zhang Tao's evasive eyes, she immediately understood that although Du Yan was playing a trick, he was indeed not telling lies. "Who said my cousin said that? That sentence? Who can prove it? " Sui Bo shouted and asked. After hearing this, Gu Weihan immediately turned back to Du Yan and asked: "Comrade Du Yan, please pay attention to your words and deeds. You have to be responsible for what you said. Why do you Did Zhang Tao say these things? Do you have any witnesses? " After hearing this, Du Yan smiled coldly. Of course he knew that no witnesses would be found, but he didn't care about it. He just wanted to give Gu Weihan a big blow. "Director Gu, let me ask you, what about you? I am sure that what he said is true. You pointed the finger at me as soon as you came in. I want to ask, what is your motive? " "I'm asking you about the witness who Zhang Tao said these things. Don't make trouble unreasonably! "Gu Weihan's face was already red. She really wanted to take the opportunity to hit Du Yan. Whether it was the previous embarrassing resentment or the arrangements of those offended by the articles written by Du Yan, she needed to hit this young man hard. "I can testify! "A voice sounded from the door. People turned around when they heard the sound and were startled when they saw the people standing at the door. Looking at Qiao Luowei standing at the door with an indifferent expression, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Rising Star" Chapter 47 Chapter 46 Grudges Seeing Qiao Luowei, Du Yan couldn't help but look behind her. Sure enough, he saw Zhao Xiaoyun following Qiao Luowei in professional attire. Next to Zhao Xiaoyun, there are two middle-aged men, and their attire seems to be quite well-established. Qiao Luowei walked into the security room and glanced at the few people who came over. At this time, the security guard of the shopping mall had already stood up when Qiao Luowei first appeared. He saw Qiao Luowei's eyes looking at him, He immediately walked up to Qiao Luowei, but then looked at one of the middle-aged men behind her, as if he didn't know what to call him. "This is Mr. Qiao of the group," the middle-aged man reminded the male guard in a low voice, "What is going on?" "No need to introduce, I know the situation well," Qiao Luowei walked towards Gu Weihan and said to her, " Hello, I am the person in charge of this shopping mall. As for the witness you just mentioned, I can testify that this person did say those things. " "Who are you?" Gu Weihan looked at Qiao Luowei in surprise. I don¡¯t know what happened to this young woman, but she suddenly came out to testify against Zhang Tao. Didn¡¯t this woman know who was in the room? Even though I heard that she is the general manager of this newly opened large shopping mall, the more she is like this, the more she should understand that the things here are not something that she as a businessman can control, let alone her responsibility? Gu Weihan looked at Qiao Luowei strangely, and for a moment he didn't know the origin of this young woman who suddenly appeared. "I can testify that I saw what happened. This person," Qiao Luowei turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhang Tao, who also had a look of astonishment. "He did say that at that time. I can completely testify to this. Regarding this I think as the leader of the Provincial Party Committee Party School, I will deal with these individuals who seriously affect the reputation of our party.¡± After hearing Qiao Luowei¡¯s words, Gu Weihan was stunned again. The woman's words had an obvious official tone. When the young woman said the word "our party," for some reason, she suddenly felt like she felt when she was listening to the leader's instructions. "Who are you? Why do you say that I said those things? What does it have to do with you" Zhang Tao asked loudly, but before he finished speaking, the young man named Sui Bo suddenly grabbed him and said, At the same time, the eyes that were squeezed tight by the fat on her face blinked and looked at Qiao Luowei carefully, and then looked at Zhao Xiaoyun next to her, and then her face changed as if she remembered something. "Hello, my name is Sui Bo, are you" Sui Bo asked tentatively. Although he had already guessed Qiao Luowei's identity, because Qiao Luowei had always kept a low profile and rarely appeared in public, so Time is uncertain. What's more, because some of the rumors about the eldest mistress of the Song family are quite bizarre, Sui Bo doesn't know if he should directly identify her. Qiao Luowei looked at Sui Bo, while Zhao Xiaoyun whispered a few words in her ear. Noting Zhao Xiaoyun, Gu Weihan was stunned. She thought this young girl looked familiar, but she didn't remember seeing her before. However, Zhao Xiaoyun not only changed into casual clothes, but her short hair, which had always been neat before, had gradually grown longer. Even Zhao Xiaoyun, who never applied makeup, made an exception and put on light makeup today, which not only made people who had only seen her once Even if Gu Weihan didn't come out, Du Yan was actually a little surprised when he saw Zhao Xiaoyun. "Are you the son of Director Sui of the Machinery Department?" Qiao Luowei looked at Sui Bo in surprise, and then said calmly, "My surname is Qiao." "Yes, my father is Sui Jianchao. I really didn't expect to meet Mr. Qiao here. "Sui Bo's face showed a smile when he heard that it was indeed "her", but then he frowned slightly and looked at Du Yan, "Do you know him?" Qiao Luowei followed Sui Bo's eyes and glanced at Du Yan. He said, but answered calmly: "He is a friend of mine." Hearing what Qiao Luowei said, Sui Bo frowned even more tightly, and his eyes turned around on the faces of Qiao Luowei and Du Yan, and at the same time I couldn't help but think about it. "Xiaobo, who is she?" Zhang Tao asked in a low voice from behind. He had already seen that this young woman must have a rich background. His cousin was a real prostitute, but he seemed to be a little taboo in front of this woman. , which made Zhang Tao feel guilty. At the same time, Gu Weihan next to her was secretly worried. She never expected that Sui Bo was actually the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, but Mr. Qiao remained calm even after knowing the identity of the other party, and even looked confused. She didn't seem to take it seriously, which made her even more secretly frightened. After receiving the call from Zhang Tao, she thought that she had finally caught Du Yan, so she rushed to Huayang Shopping Mall immediately, but she never expected that here she not only met an official son with a good background, but also Then someone appeared out of nowhere and seemed to have a different background.He was also a big figure, which made Gu Weihan regret his previous impatience. As the leader of the Provincial Party School, Gu Weihan has actually met many senior cadres, but because of this she is more aware that the water in this provincial city is very deep. As for the capital, let alone mention that some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Maybe I have plunged into a whirlpool that I should not be involved in at all. And at this time, she finally recognized Zhao Xiaoyun. When she thought that this female soldier who had embarrassed her was just someone close to Mr. Qiao, Gu Weihan had already thought of the origin of this young woman, which must be very scary. But even so, now that she is here, she can no longer back down and can only continue to deal with it. "Mr. Qiao, although you say so, I can't just listen to your words," Gu Weihan said with a gloomy face. , she came this time determined to take the opportunity to punish Du Yan. "You also said that you are friends, so how can we be sure that what you said is the truth?" Hearing what Gu Weihan said, the man who was speaking Sui Bo closed his mouth. He glanced at Zhang Tao a little strangely. He was very suspicious of Gu Weihan's insistence on Du Yan even after seeing that Qiao Luowei had a good background. Sui Bo also felt a little strange about what Qiao Luowei meant. Qiao Luowei looked at Gu Weihan. The expression on her face was very calm. She didn't seem to be angry because Gu Weihan implied that she favored Du Yan, but her eyes had become slightly colder. "Since Director Gu said so, I suggest you call the police," Qiao Luowei suddenly said, but what he said was a bit unexpected, "But I will be a witness." "It is not up to you, Mr. Qiao, to decide whether to call the police or not. This is our own business." Gu Weihan's face became even more ugly. Ever since this woman came in, it seemed like everything was decided by her, as if everyone in the room should listen to her. Yes, this made Gu Weihan very unhappy, but he also felt vaguely uneasy. "Our provincial party school will deal with it." "I think it's better to call the police," Qiao Luowei said calmly. She turned around first. He looked at Du Yan and Su Qian beside him, then turned to look at Zhang Tao, "When there is unprovoked harassment of women in our shopping mall, I think both as the person in charge of the shopping mall and as a woman, I have the obligation to call the police." Gu Weihan looked at Qiao Luowei in astonishment. She really didn't expect that this young woman with a good background would suddenly say such a thing. She deliberately didn't ask the woman's origin before, but she wanted to give Du Yan a hug this time. She was thinking about it, but now that someone suddenly came to have business matters, she couldn't find it easy to have a relationship with him anymore. After all, she was also a cadre, and it seemed too shameless to do so. "Mr. Qiao, this is not good," Sui Bo's face sank slightly. Although he knew that the Song family was deeply rooted, he didn't care much. After all, his father Sui Jianchao, as the Minister of Machinery Industry, did not just let him It¡¯s up to people to decide, not to mention that his father¡¯s faction is now gaining momentum, but the old man of the Song family has withdrawn from the core of power many years ago, so if he really wants to compare it, he is naturally unambiguous. It¡¯s better to let Director Gu and others resolve the matter themselves. After all, this matter is related to the reputation of the Hexi Provincial Party School. Maybe Mr. Qiao¡¯s friends don¡¯t care, but my cousin is still studying at the Provincial Party School and is very concerned about whether he will give his school "It's a smear campaign." Sui Bo glanced at Du Yan as he spoke. He didn't expect that this guy from a "stinky worker's family" that Zhang Tao said would actually know Qiao Luowei. But after hearing Director Gu's tone when he came in, not only did he They are partial to Zhang Tao, and they seem to be targeting this person named Du Yan. In this case, it is better to let the Provincial Party School solve the problem on its own. I think the Provincial Party School will naturally consider the backgrounds of itself and Zhang Tao. In addition, he also took a closer look at his relationship with Zhang Tao. He believed that unless Du Yan had a deep friendship with Qiao Luowei, he would always have some scruples after knowing that Zhang Tao was his cousin, and he should not You will offend yourself too much for someone who is not very relevant. But Sui Bo's thoughts were completely in vain. Qiao Luowei didn't seem to understand what he said at all. He turned around and told Zhao Xiaoyun beside him: "Xiaoyun, call the police station and tell us that someone here has an incident for harassing women. Arguments and fights. " "Mr. Qiao, is it necessary for everyone to make it difficult? Isn't it too much for you to do this?" Sui Bo's face showed anger. He glanced at Du Yan. If Du Yan didn't have a girlfriend by his side, , he would even wonder if this boy was the lover of the famous "Widow Qiao" in the capital. Of course, he just thought so. Even if such a thing was true, he would not dare to say it directly, because there were still some rumors in the capital, but it was The reason why he didn't dare to really offend Qiao Luowei. Zhao Xiaoyun seemed not to have heard what he said. After walking to the table and asking the male guard, he picked up the phone and started dialing the police station.Over time, Sui Bo's face, like Gu Weihan's, became extremely ugly. But Qiao Luowei turned around and walked up to Du Yan, tilting her head slightly and looking at him, as if she wanted to find something different in him from before. "I'm going to trouble Mr. Qiao again," Du Yan, who had been silent since Qiao Luowei came in, smiled and said, "I just didn't know that Huayang Shopping Mall was your property." Du Yan really didn't expect that, it seemed. After being assigned, Qiao Luowei's business is getting bigger and bigger. In less than a year, he opened such a large high-end shopping mall in Tongyang. It seems that Qiao Luowei really wants to take root in Tongyang. idea. But then he suddenly remembered that when Zhao Xiaoyun met him for a while, he seemed to have mentioned something about business operations unintentionally at first. He himself had casually said something about business operations in later generations on this topic, and then a paragraph Zhao Xiaoyun seemed to be suddenly interested in this aspect of things. He often met each other every time. Now thinking about it carefully, Zhao Xiaoyun probably told Qiao Luowei the ideas he heard from him, otherwise he would not feel this way. Huayang Shopping Mall feels ahead of its time in some places. Thinking of this, Du Yan suddenly felt that it was right for Qiao Luowei to stand up for him. At least this should be regarded as the consulting fee for giving so many valuable suggestions. Qiao Luowei suddenly smiled, which surprised Du Yan. In his impression, Qiao Luowei never smiled. There was always a layer of indifference on her face that he was already familiar with, or an alienation from others. Maybe this was due to her personality, but in the eyes of others, she was just indifferent. Therefore, to Du Yan at this time, Qiao Luowei's smile seemed both sudden and inexplicably stunning. "I think I should thank you. Let's solve the immediate trouble now. I'll treat you to dinner later." Qiao Luowei's smile disappeared briefly. When she looked at Su Qian, her face had returned to its previous look. With that indifferent expression, after briefly looking at Su Qian, Qiao Luowei turned around and walked to a chair to sit down. There was silence in the room for a while. Like many large public places, there is a security office with a police station in Huayang Shopping Mall. Not long after the call was made, as the door of the security room was pushed open, two policemen walked in one after another. The police who had just come in were startled when they saw the people in the room. They knew the manager of the shopping mall. Although they were not sure about the manager's background, they also knew that when the shopping mall opened, the secretary of the district committee would always come to praise him. It was great, but now they saw that the mall manager was standing very respectfully next to a sitting young woman, and they couldn't help but secretly wonder who this woman was. But then, the two policemen discovered that they were really in big trouble this time. Seeing these people taking out their work IDs one by one, the two policemen's heads began to get big, and when they saw that Director Gu of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, who they considered to be a great official, seemed to have no choice but to stand aside in this matter and could not control the people on both sides at all. It seemed that he could not offend the backers on both sides. The two ordinary policemen were already sweating on their foreheads and were a little at a loss. "Director Gu, we have to report this matter to see how the superiors handle it." The leading policeman looked at Gu Weihan uneasily. He didn't know what this woman who seemed to be difficult to deal with was thinking, but He knows that none of these people here can afford to offend him, so even if he is scolded, he must hand over the conflict. Gu Weihan nodded angrily. She had never felt so useless. People on both sides actually didn't take her seriously, which made her feel unspeakably awkward: "Okay, then report it, yes." The branch or the police station, why don't you just take them all away, business is business, and there will be absolutely no favoritism." After hearing Gu Weihan's words, the policeman smiled bitterly. Just as he was about to speak, Sui Bo suddenly spoke: "Since this is the case. If official business is to be done, the perpetrators of beatings should be dealt with in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. We believe that the public security department in Tongyang can adhere to principles. At least as far as I know, this is what Director Fang Zhenfang of the Hexi Provincial Department often teaches you. "The policeman was stunned. He knew who Fang Zhen was. Unexpectedly, this short, fat man with a Beijing accent opened his mouth in a loud voice. Then he looked back at Gu Weihan. From her helpless expression, this policeman was Guessing that what the short fat man said was not a lie, the way he looked at Sui Bo changed immediately. Sui Bo glanced at Qiao Luowei provocatively. He thought that since Qiao Luowei obviously protected Du Yan, there was no need to give her too much face. After all, some rumors were just rumors. Qiao Luowei didn't give him face so much, so he also I really can't bear it. What¡¯s more, he had another thought in his mind. When his eyes flickered back and forth between Qiao Luowei and Du Yan, an ambiguous smile appeared,??I believe that even if those rumors are true, even if Qiao Luowei tries her best to protect this young man, I believe she would not dare to let anyone in the capital hear about it. The corners of Zhao Xiaoyun's eyes raised slightly. She could clearly see the ambiguous and even sleazy look in Sui Bo's eyes. She caught sight of Qiao Luowei's still indifferent and calm expression at the corner of her eyes. Zhao Xiaoyun secretly gritted his teeth and endured it. "Then let's go to the police station and make a record." The leading policeman looked back at Du Yan with a cold look. At this time, the balance in his mind had tilted, and who was more important and who was less important had already been distinguished. "Come with me, everyone." "Go." "Xiaoyun, make another call." Qiao Luowei frowned slightly and said to Zhao Xiaoyun, but just as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and then a young man opened the door and walked in. "Director Chu?!" Gu Weihan looked at the young man who walked in in astonishment. She never expected that he would be Chu Yijun, the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister Liang Benchu ??and the deputy director of the Provincial Organization Department Office. Gu Weihan said hello while thinking quickly in her mind. She knew that Chu Yijun could not be in this mall by coincidence, let alone come to the security room without any chance. The only reason was that he was working for Du The words come out! Could it be that Du Yan was really appreciated by Liang Benchu? Gu Weihan couldn't help but feel even more uneasy when he thought about this. When he saw Chu Yijun, Zhang Tao's face turned blue. He immediately whispered a few words to Sui Bo. Sui Bo couldn't help but look at him, but he didn't speak. "Hello, Mr. Qiao." Chu Yijun was a little surprised that there were so many people in the room. He first nodded to Gu Weihan who greeted him in response, and then he walked towards Qiao Luowei and said Say hello. Qiao Luowei nodded slightly: "It turns out that Director Chu already knows what's going on here." "I received a call from Du Ke before," Chu Yijun said with a smile. He nodded slightly to Du Yan, and then turned to face Gu Wei Han said, "Director Gu, I didn't expect you to be here. What happened?" "Comrade, may I ask who you are?" The tone of the policeman before became hesitant again. He knew that what appeared today could be said to be nothing. One of them is something he can manage. Now he is not in a hurry to report it. He is just waiting to see who can overwhelm the other in the end. At that time, even if he reports it to the leader, he will know how to explain it to his superiors. "Hello, are you the comrade of the police who is responsible for handling things here?" Chu Yijun reached out and shook hands with the policeman. As a secretary next to a big leader, he is very particular about his words and deeds. He was a staff member serving the leaders. At this time, he revealed a touch of majesty, "I am Chu Yijun, the secretary of Director Liang of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee." After saying that, Chu Yijun took out his work permit and handed it over in a formal manner. passed. "Hello, Director Chu. Hello." After looking at Chu Yijun's work ID, the policeman showed a smile that seemed uglier than crying. He never expected that such a small fight would lead to With so many people coming, the only thing he was glad about now was that he hadn't done too much here before. "Comrade policemen, you are performing official duties and I can't interfere, but I think it's better not to make too big a fuss about some things," Chu Yijun said and glanced at Zhang Tao slightly. He had a new impression of Zhang Tao. Especially with Du Yan and Liu Jiahui as comparisons, Zhang Tao's previous too frivolous image in the provincial party school is still fresh in people's memory. "I don't know what happened, but both parties here are now provincial The cadres in the Party School should have a very bad impression. Am I right, Director Gu? " "Yes, Director Chu is right," Gu Weihan couldn't help but nodded. At this time, She had long since stopped thinking about how to deal with Du Yan, and just wanted to end this matter quickly. When she thought that it might involve some overt and covert fights between some big bosses, she couldn't help but hate Zhang Tao. It was important to deal with Du Yan, but she didn't want to get involved with such a little brat. "I don't agree with this solution either. Although Du Yan's behavior is indeed a bit extreme, we still have to resolve it internally." "Is it the attitude of internal handling?" "Yes, Director Gu's handling method is very good, I agree very much," Chu Yijun smiled and nodded, as if these opinions were really put forward by Gu Weihan. Otherwise, let them solve it internally, so they don¡¯t have to trouble the police comrades too much. What do you think? " "This" The two policemen were slightly embarrassed, but when they saw Sui Bo from the corner of their eyes, nothing happened. When they objected, they knew what to do, "Okay, okay, everything will be arranged by Director Chu." When the two policemen left, following Zhao Xiaolan's signal, several unrelated people also took the opportunity to leave. room, the security room became a lot quieter for a while. ?It was only then that Chu Yijun formally smiled at Sui Bo: "This is Minister Sui's son, I guess it was so rude that I didn't say hello because of the crowd." The fat flesh on Sui Bo's face trembled. He was not surprised that Chu Yijun could recognize him. What made him secretly angry was that Chu Yijun obviously didn't take him seriously. His eyes swept across Chu Yijun's face, and then looked at Qiao Luowei and the others behind him. When he and Du Yan's eyes met, he smiled coldly: "I didn't expect that my brother opened his eyes in Hexi, and he also If you really meet a local snake, I will end up pissing in Hexi today. Mr. Qiao, let¡¯s meet again in the capital.¡± Qiao Luowei lowered his head and looked at his beautifully manicured fingers seriously, as if he didn¡¯t understand what Sui Bo said. It wasn't until Sui Bo, who was full of anger, took Zhang Tao and his follower who had just calmed down and slammed the door and walked out, and Gu Weihan awkwardly said hello to Chu Yijun and left, that Qiao Luowei slowly raised his head. . She nodded slightly towards Chu Yijun and said, "Thank you, Director Chu." "Don't say that, Mr. Qiao, Du Ke and I are also friends." At this point, Chu Yijun looked at her thoughtfully. Du Yan, "Minister Liang has repeatedly asked me to contact Du Ke more. This is just a small matter." He raised his hand and looked at his watch. "If there is nothing else, I will leave first. I have something to do in the afternoon." "Thank you, Brother Chu." Du Yan came over and shook hands with Chu Yijun vigorously. "Without your brother Chu coming to protect me today, my lawsuit would have been settled." "Don't say that. It's a trivial matter, as long as you." If you can write the report that will be handed over to Minister Liang, you will repay me. Minister Liang has asked me several times in the past two days, and he is very concerned about it," Chu Yijun said with a smile. "You must hurry up. I hope Brother Chu will make corrections like a giant pen when the time comes." Du Yan replied with a smile. When he said this, he vaguely heard Zhao Xiaoyun behind him snort. Chu Yijun came suddenly and left simply. When Du Yan and Su Qian, who accompanied him to see Chu Yijun to the entrance of the shopping mall, watched the car Chu Yijun was sitting in drive away, Du Yan turned around and gently She gently held Su Qian's hand. "I'm sorry." The two apologized at the same time, and then Su Qian turned her head. "Don't blame my mother, she is doing it for my own good," Su Qian said in a low voice. In fact, she felt indescribably bitter in her heart. When she thought of Zhang Tao's entanglement and her mother's embarrassing and even angry behavior, Su Qian felt really sorry for Du Yan, "I can only cause trouble for you, and I can't help you with anything. If I could be like Zhao Xiaoyun, and that Mr. Qiao." Speaking of this, Su Qian looked at Du Yan, "She It's Mr. Qiao who Xiaofei mentioned who helped you. I heard he was very capable and beautiful. " "What are you going to say?" Du Yan reached out and gently lifted Su Qian's chin, and his lips suddenly fell on her. Su Qian's slightly hot lips said, "Don't think wildly. Remember, I will always be yours." There was a low cry from all around, and people turned their heads. In this era, such a bold move made the people around him excited. His face even changed! Su Qian's face turned red at Du Yan's bold move. She never expected that Du Yan would actually kiss her at the entrance of this crowded shopping mall. She pushed Du Yan away and covered her face with both hands! Du Yan smiled softly, and then his expression froze. Inside the glass door of the mall, Zhao Xiaoyun was watching this scene in a daze. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua Nova" Chapter 48 Chapter 47 The Fulfillment of the "Prophecy" This conflict with Zhang Tao and Sui Bo disrupted Du Yan's original plan to have a good "National Day" with Su Qian, which made Du Yan feel a little annoyed in his heart, but looking at Su Qian's pity, From time to time, he would look like he was pleading, but he didn't want to show it too much. Gu Weifen was completely stupid by this time. None of the people who came out were what she could have imagined before. When she thought about it, if her daughter could become the daughter-in-law of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, it would be like burning incense in the ancestral grave, so even though She also knew that what she did was wrong, but she still stubbornly wanted Su Qian to listen to her arrangements. But what happened on this day was completely beyond Gu Weifen's expectation. These people who showed their identities one by one like a revolving door were no longer what she could have imagined. This made Gu Weifen finally start to feel scared. And looking at Du Yan, Gu Weifen also felt that something was indeed different from before. Not only that Mr. Qiao, but Zhang Tao's cousin was actually the son of some minister in the capital. What kind of person he must be, but even though In this way, it seemed that he did not take advantage after the appearance of "Director Chu". From this point alone, Gu Weifen gradually understood that Du Yan, who was always called a "bastard" behind his back, even if he did not know it yet There are no great achievements, but the people he knows in this social circle are really big shots. Gu Weifen became more honest, and after seeing Qiao Luowei and Zhao Xiaoyun, she didn't know what to do. Gu Weifen had a natural fear of Qiao Luowei. When she went to the Du family to make trouble, Qiao Luowei's appearance completely shocked her, especially Qiao Luowei who was always plain but seemingly The way she could see everything in her eyes made Gu Weifen, who was having a lot of fun at the time, feel like someone had caught her by the pigtails when he saw her again. So although Du Yan kept talking to Su Qian and even kissed Su Qian at the entrance of the shopping mall in front of countless people coming and going, Gu Weifen could only stand in the distance and cursed inwardly, but she did not dare to say anything again. Go ahead and bother me. Su Qian came this time. In addition to meeting Du Yan, she also brought two sweaters that she had taken the time to knit. One was for Du Yan and the other was for Sophie. Du Fei took the college entrance examination in the summer, but she was not admitted to Jinghua University. Instead, she was admitted to the Fine Arts Department of Tongyang University to study graphic design as she wished. Li Peizheng's son Li Yiming also approached Tongyang University, but he was admitted to the Department of Finance. Du Yan went with him when he was enrolled in school. Sometimes he would take time to visit during holidays. Fortunately, Tongyang and Pingling Mausoleum were not far away. Sometimes Du Fei would go back by car when he had no classes on Saturday afternoons. Staying at home for a day, and having Du Yan nearby to take care of her, Sang Shulan wouldn't be worried. Seeing Su Qian take out the two sweaters with complicated knitting skills, Du Yan felt tenderness in his heart. He vaguely remembered that Su Qian often knitted sweaters for him in his previous life. At first, the conditions at home were not good, so this would save money. Later, life got better. Although there were already various high-end thermal underwear, Su Qian still insisted on knitting one every winter. Even if Du Yan only wore it at home, she felt happy in her heart. . "Du Yan, I don't want to work in the County Finance Bureau anymore," Su Qian whispered, and then she explained slightly nervously, "It's not that I don't want to work, but you know" Du Yan nodded, Zhang Tao is now in Taipei Hua City Finance Bureau has been pestering Du Yan for a long time, which has caused a lot of rumors in the County Finance Bureau. This should put Su Qian in a very difficult situation, not to mention what happened to her suddenly last year. It is estimated that now the County Finance Bureau The bureau was already in an uproar, talking about everything. "Qianqian, read more financial books when you go back." Du Yan took Su Qian's hand. Su Qian was about to leave the County Finance Bureau, and he also felt that she should make more preparations. "I have always asked you to pay attention to the Are you reading about the stock market? " "I've been reading, and now I'm almost a stock market analyst." Su Qian showed a small proud smile, which was out of proportion to many girls' chests and brains. The difference is that Su Qian is not stupid, she is even very smart, but she has never needed to use her brain too much since she was a child. Du Yan is always around her, and Du Yan will do this and that for her. Du Yan will help her whenever she needs it. Always shows up as quickly as possible. Now, Su Qian is very happy to have a place to show her abilities. "I can analyze the ups and downs of some stocks based on the trend of the market. A few days ago, a colleague bought a stock after listening to me, and the result was small." She made a fortune, and she even treated me to a meal. " Seeing Su Qian's slightly satisfied look, Du Yan smiled slightly. Playing stocks in China is a new thing that has just emerged in the past year. It's just that. Du Yan knows that the current stock market is in the so-called pioneering period. Although it is difficult, it is full of vitality and has unlimited prospects. However, the water is too deep. Many people like Su Qian who consider themselves amateur analysts of the stock market actually have no idea what is happening here. ?It's so tricky, it's okay to make a little money, but if you really invest your life and property in it, you're likely to end up bankrupt and your family will be ruined. The domestic stock market is a cruel hunting ground where big fish eat small fish, but in the end these big fish are just fat meat that fishmen can catch at any time. "Read more of those books. They will be useful in the future. As for work, wait for now. Maybe I will do something soon." Du Yan ordered, looking at Su Qian's reddish lips, he was about to kiss her again. Once, Su Qian refused. Seeing that it was already late, Du Yan had no choice but to go out of the shopping mall with Su Qian. Looking at Gu Weifen, who had been waiting for a long time, Du Yan hesitated and walked over. In Su Qian's worried eyes, Du Yan said calmly to Gu Weifen: "Auntie, I know you are doing it for Su Qian's best, but in this case you should also know that you are making things difficult for Su Qian. She and I are at peace. I can also make her Live a good life, and don't do this again. Otherwise, I can only get a marriage certificate with Su Qian in advance. I believe Su Qian is willing to marry me now." Gu Weifen opened her mouth and said secretly to Du Yan. She was really annoyed by the threatening tone, but looking at today's situation, she had to admit that Du Yan had entered the provincial capital, and his demeanor was different from before. Looking at his attitude, she really felt a little scared. Looking at Su Qian next to her who was embarrassed, sad, helpless but still holding Du Yan's hand, Gu Weifen's heart gradually sank. Her daughter was determined to live with this kid, which made Gu Weifen both Annoyed and helpless. She glared at Du Yan, and after humming a few nasal noises that no one could understand, she said feebly: "I can't control your affairs. It's up to you, Qianqian, as long as you don't regret it in the future. "Mom!" A look of joy appeared on Su Qian's face. Although her mother was still fuming, her words were acknowledgment of her relationship with Du Yan. She stepped forward and held Gu Weifen's hand. The joyful and excited look on his hands made Gu Weifen sigh inwardly again. In the end, Su Qian didn't let Du Yan take her to the station. She knew that Du Yan should thank Mr. Qiao. She hadn't thanked him properly since she came out. Su Qian felt a little sorry, but Du Yan just said it was because of her. She could just speak for herself, which made Su Qian secretly relieved. For some reason, Su Qian had a natural sense of crisis when she saw Zhao Xiaoyun. Although Zhao Xiaoyun hardly talked to Du Yan from beginning to end, she just couldn't let go. But seeing Du Yan always by her side, she Then I felt that there should be nothing between Du Yan and that heroic and charming female officer. The sky has dimmed slightly, and it is already getting late in October. When Du Yan just knocked on the door of the Huayang Shopping Mall manager's room, the door opened immediately, and Zhao Xiaoyun stood straight at the door. "Miss Zhao, is Mr. Qiao here?" In front of outsiders, Du Yan always called Zhao Xiaoyun Miss Zhao, even though he wanted to tell Zhao Xiaoyun many times that the word "miss" is not a good name. "Mr. Qiao has left. She is very busy," Zhao Xiaoyun said coldly. She was still blocking the door, with no intention of inviting Du Yan in. "I don't have that much time to wait for you to say goodbye to your little lover before coming back." " Listening to the last part of Zhao Xiaoyun's sour words that almost overturned his jealousy, Du Yan scratched his head in embarrassment. The relationship with Zhao Xiaoyun always made Du Yan feel confused. He couldn't figure out whether he was hugging him or not. I am preoccupied with interacting with Zhao Xiaoyun, but every time I see Zhao Xiaoyun, I can't help but think of that charming night. ¡°And he had to admit that Zhao Xiaoyun¡¯s healthy body also made him feel an indescribable fascination. "You won't invite me in?" When Du Yan said this, even he felt a little jealous. At least it could be seen from Zhao Xiaoyun's blushing face. It was estimated that the look on his face was somewhat unserious at this time. "What are you doing here? I don't have your Qianqian." Zhao Xiaoyun turned around as if he didn't want to see Du Yan. Zhao Xiaoyun is wearing a professional attire today. Although it is not as pretty and straight as a military uniform, the suitably cut clothes match her proud figure and have a hint of the charm of an urban professional woman. Coupled with her unique military temperament, Du Yan couldn't help but flash the shadow of the uniformed OL in his mind. Seeing that Zhao Xiaoyun was still blocking her face, Du Yan raised his hand. This move really startled Zhao Xiaoyun. She couldn't help but step back, but Du Yan took advantage of the situation and walked into the office. "This is outside, don't act nonsense." Zhao Xiaoyun stared at Du Yan fiercely and warned. After hearing this, Du Yan wanted to laugh. He looked at Zhao Xiaoyun interestingly, until Zhao Xiaoyun finally realized the misleading meaning of his words. ¡°?I mean, don¡¯t act recklessly wherever you are! "Zhao Xiaoyun's face turned purple, which let Du Yan know that she was about to become angry. This made him dare not provoke this tigress easily. If he really pissed her off, although he wouldn't pull out the gun and kill him, he would still be full. A beating is probably unavoidable. If that happens, I will have to admit that I am unlucky and have no place to complain. ¡°Do you know about the report that Minister Liang wants? "Du Yan straightened his expression slightly. He was not very clear about the relationship between Liang Benchu ??and the Song family. He felt that it was necessary to communicate with the Song family when Liang Benchu ??asked him to write a report on judging the situation in the Soviet Union. "I know. "Yes," Zhao Xiaoyun nodded. Once she talks about serious matters, she will become serious. This is certainly related to her years of rigorous education in a military family, but also to her current job, "Minister Liang, and Mr. Qiao's father are Old friends, and Professor Feng," Zhao Xiaoyun whispered as if casually. Du Yan nodded slightly. It should be certain that Qiao Luowei and Liang Benchu ??knew each other, but he didn't expect that Qiao Luowei's father and Liang Benchu ??had another relationship. Feng Ziming is both a friend, but this does explain why I saw a photo of Qiao Luowei and the Song family at Feng Ziming's house. It seems that their relationship should be very deep. "You must write that report carefully," Zhao Xiaoyun emphasized. But don¡¯t write blindly about things you are not sure about. You don¡¯t know who will read these things, but I can guarantee that as long as your report is reasonable and meets the needs, the grievances you have suffered this year will not be in vain. . " Hearing that Zhao Xiaoyun couldn't help but hint at himself, Du Yan couldn't help but be slightly moved. He knew that it was inappropriate for Zhao Xiaoyun to say this, but she still said it, which made Du Yan grateful. " But he also paid attention to it. When he came to Zhao Xiaoyun's profound words "Meet the needs", "Meet the needs, and whose needs it meets?" Du Yan couldn't help but think about it, and then a vague thought made him feel uncontrollable. It gradually became clear ¡°Xiaoyun, thank you. "Du Yan said sincerely. He knew that although Zhao Xiaoyun had good intentions, he would never know what the news revealed today meant to him. Seeing the clear gratitude and a touch of tenderness in Du Yan's eyes, Zhao Xiaoyun felt that he A corner of her heart that had become cold after seeing the scene between him and Su Qian relaxed slightly. She turned around and leaned on the table with her back to Du Yan. She didn't want to let herself touch those things that bothered her anymore, and because For some special reasons, she also knew that she was really not suitable to have a deeper relationship with Du Yan. However, when a pair of hands touched her shoulders from behind, Zhao Xiaoyun couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she instinctively leaned forward. Her lower abdomen was pressed against the edge of the table, and to her surprise, Du Yan from behind gently pushed her shoulders and pushed her upper body toward the desk. ¡°What are you doing? "Zhao Xiaoyun pressed his hands on the table, feeling the pressure of Du Yan lying on his back, and couldn't help but growl with a red face, "Let me go quickly, or I will fall out if you don't let go." " "Xiaoyun, thank you, really thank you. "A burst of warm breath brushed past Zhao Xiaoyun's ears, which made her feel itchy at first, and then she kept twisting her body to get rid of that feeling. However, she didn't expect that her action made Du behind her, who originally just wanted to express some sincere gratitude. She couldn't help but breathed quickly. "You little bastard, how dare you bully me like this," Zhao Xiaoyun cursed in a low voice, feeling the hands that were originally on her shoulders slide down, across her back, and then from both sides. He reached forward and wrapped his arms around her slender waist that was half leaning on the table. Zhao Xiaoyun couldn't help but feel a little scared, "Have you had enough trouble? What should I do if someone comes in? Let go." " "Aren't you very powerful? Just knock me down." " Du Yan asked with a smile. Now he knew why he liked to provoke Zhao Xiaoyun so much. It was because of the freshness and excitement of being slightly sneaky but encountering resistance from time to time, which made him always want to completely conquer this powerful person. The impulsiveness and passion of the female officer. "Du Yan, don't be here" As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xiaoyun was stunned. She never expected that she would say such misleading words, which were full of acquiescence and hints. Her face had turned from red to dark. Just when Du Yan felt something bad and wanted to leave her body, Zhao Xiaoyun's arms pressed on the table slightly bent, and then with a strong force of straightening, she One of Du Yan's right legs had already inserted between Du Yan's legs and stirred hard. Du Yan felt that his body suddenly lost balance. He turned to the side, but at the same time, Zhao Xiaoyun had stood up straight and moved forward fiercely. Pressing down, she pushed Du Yan, who had fallen down, to lie on his back on the desk. Then she stared at Du Yan below her fiercely: "You little bastard, let's see how I deal with you! " "You look like this, don't you think you are acting like a gangster? "Du Yan just looked up almost completely.Looking at Zhao Xiaoyun's eyes, even though it was autumn, he could still feel the huge "pressure" brought to him by Zhao Xiaoyun's two plump peaks. Zhao Xiaoyun said "poof" and immediately stepped back. She stared angrily at Du Yan. She really didn't know how to deal with this guy. Sometimes he was too serious and mature, but sometimes it really made her want to shoot him. A finished bastard. Du Yan straightened up, but did not continue to mess around. He looked at Zhao Xiaoyun seriously and stretched out his right hand: "Xiaoyun, I really thank you. If one day I have the opportunity to repay you, no matter what you want, I will go "I will do it for you." Zhao Xiaoyun rolled his eyes at Du Yan. "We will talk about the future later. You must write this report carefully. Maybe you will be the one this time." "A rare opportunity." "I know, I will seize it." Du Yan nodded slightly. He reached out and touched Zhao Xiaoyun's smooth cheek. He instinctively moved back, but he still allowed himself to touch it. Zhao Xiaoyun, a feeling of guilt that he couldn't tell whether it was towards Zhao Xiaoyun or Su Qian, lingered in his heart. On October 28, it took nearly a month to prepare revisions, and during this period, I communicated with Feng Ziming several times in the capital to write a report on the possible impact of the future development of the Soviet Union on the country. The report on various impacts has finally been completed. On the night after the report was finally completed, Du Yan walked alone on the campus, which was already feeling the chill of late autumn. The crescent moon above his head shone with cold moonlight, and pieces of moonlight fell from time to time from the yellowing trees on the roadside. Desolate and fallen leaves. "The boundless falling trees rustle under the trees, and the endless Yangtze River rolls in." Du Yan read this poem softly, and couldn't help but feel a little in his heart. Although there are boundless fallen trees here, there is of course no rolling Yangtze River, but Du Yan feels that the current era is in line with the artistic conception of these two poems. The big waves wash away the sand and the Yangtze River rolls. In the process, he does not know how many people will be abandoned by the times. How many people rise and fall in the tide of the times. The last conflict was strangely silent. Zhang Tao became much more honest in the next half month in the party school. He was still with Liu Jiahui all day long, and Liu Jiahui didn't seem to have heard about Zhang Tao being banned. Even though he was talking about fighting, he was still smiling and getting along well with everyone. He quickly established a prestige in the class, and he was truly the leader of the training class for only half a month. At the end of the training class, Liu Jiahui invited Du Yan to have dinner alone. At the wine table, Liu Jiahui surprisingly frankly admitted that he had indeed taken the above route in order to become the director of the new district, and his father Liu Ding had done some work. His attitude made Du Yan have a new view of him, but Du Yan was even more interested in Liu Jiahui. The report was sent out the next morning. Du Yan left two copies of this report, one of which was mailed to Feng Ziming. In the days that followed, Du Yan became idle. Since the last conflict, Gu Weihan never caused trouble to him again. Even if he saw her sometimes, she would just nod vaguely when Du Yan greeted her. For a while, these days seemed to be the most leisurely and boring time for Du Yan. During these days, Du Yan went to see Du Fei when he had nothing to do. When he sent the sweater Su Qian knitted for her, Du Fei suddenly changed his mind when he saw that Du Yan was wearing a sweater of a similar style although it was different in style. Gotta be happy. She held Du Yan's arm and walked around the school campus. She even pretended to be a coincidence and bumped into some classmates who had just come out of the cafeteria. She saw the ambiguous looks on Du Fei's face when she saw the ambiguous looks on her face from the male and female classmates. The smile is even thicker. Du Yan naturally knew about his sister's little thoughts, but he didn't try to expose it. He believed that Du Fei probably didn't know about the so-called couple's outfits, but maybe in Du Fei's heart, he thought that he could wear the same style and color as his brother. The sweater seems more intimate, even though the sweater was knitted by my brother¡¯s real girlfriend. Su Qian also came here once during this period. Gu Weifen may have really thought about it and didn't come with her. This naturally gave Du Yan an advantage. With the convenience of the Provincial Party School Work Permit, he found a room in a hotel far away from the Party School. The long-term separation and the obsession of young men and women in love made him and Su Qian fiercely entangled. All night long, and even when she got in the car the next day, Su Qian looked listless. The days seemed very leisurely, but Du Yan knew that such leisurely time always passed quickly. Sure enough, as December entered, the international situation suddenly changed. Several Soviet republics expressed their willingness to leave the alliance, and the public voice became louder and louder. Finally, the fateful day has arrived!   On the evening of December 25, 1991, to the accompaniment of the majestic and powerful "Unbreakable Union", which has inspired generations of Soviet people to build the Red Empire and can be called the most powerful national anthem in the world, The flag of the Soviet Union, which had experienced glory, hegemony, turmoil and confusion, slowly fell. But listening to the national anthem at this time, it had a different meaning. As the flag fell, the Soviet Union, the red empire that once dominated the world, was about to Quit the stage of history! Du Yan was watching this historical moment in the party school auditorium with about a thousand staff and school students. He noticed that for a while, Vice President Chen Zigao, who was sitting on the rostrum, seemed to be looking below for a while. Stayed here for a while. However, Du Yan had no time to think about what Chen Zigao was thinking at this time. While people were still watching the touching scene on the big screen, a staff member walked through the crowd and walked to Du Yan, gently pulling She pulled his sleeve and whispered to him: "Xiao Du has your phone number. He's from the capital." Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua New Star" Chapter 49 Chapter 48 Debate The call was from Feng Ziming. On the phone, Feng Ziming praised Du Yan's previous article. It seems that he was watching TV at this time, and the sound of reporters interviewing local people in Moscow was faintly heard from the phone. "Xiao Du, are you ready?" Feng Ziming's loud voice, which was different from that of most southerners, came from the phone, and there was a faint excitement in his words. Du Yan knew what Feng Ziming meant by preparation. He smiled faintly and said in a calm and confident tone: "Don't worry, Professor Feng, I know what to do next." But even though he said that, Du Yan But he can still feel the faint throbbing in his heart. This series of preparations, long-term plans, and even the grievance of being forced to leave the new economic zone that he created and had no choice but to leave before it opened, are not for the upcoming Has this moment arrived? "That's good, that's good," Feng Ziming said twice in a row, and then he said seriously, "Maybe you have to come to the capital once, and during that time, you can sort out what you want to write next. It seems that there are still some things that have not been explained clearly in that report. Some people are very interested in making some revisions." Du Yan said that the provincial party school may have to hold a series of discussions recently because of what is happening in the Soviet Union, and there may be more. He had to cooperate with the Hexi Provincial Committee to do some research on the development of the current international and domestic situation, so the time might not be convenient. Feng Ziming said it was nothing, he didn't need to think about it, and just told Du Yan to write the report again. Be more detailed and better prepared. After hearing this, Du Yan vaguely guessed something, but he didn't ask. "In fact, some of the things Feng Ziming said that were not explained clearly were done deliberately by Du Yan. Some words should be said when needed. Saying them too early or too late will not have the best effect. The disintegration of the Soviet Union brought an indescribable shock to the world. Once upon a time, the only red empire in the world that could confront the Western camp head-on, once hung like a huge shadow over the head of the Western world, and the largest society in the world The terrible weapons possessed by communist countries are enough to destroy the world hundreds of times, but they are also an indispensable party in the nuclear balance that has lasted for decades. Now, the Soviet Union has collapsed. This fact that many people may have never thought about makes them feel confused and even more uneasy. ¡°On the day after the Soviet Union officially announced its disintegration, scholars and researchers at the Provincial Party School were instructed to conduct a detailed study on the current international and domestic situation, and at the same time write a report on the research results and submit it to the Provincial Party Committee. For a time, the entire Provincial Party School became nervous. People knew that this research project was not only not easy, but also had great political risks. After all, if there was a slight deviation, it would be a complete matter of principled stance, and such an issue is bigger than any other. Mistakes are terrible. On December 27, an article entitled "A great wave washes over the sand, turning the tide from collapse" was published on the front page of "Truth", another heavyweight party media in China that is as famous as News Internal Reference. In this article, an in-depth analysis of the disintegration of the Soviet Union was made. While clearly pointing out that the disintegration of the Soviet Union was entirely due to Gossip's perverse political reforms and Western subversion, the article changed the topic and directly addressed the domestic situation. The reform raised sharp criticisms and questions! In the article, the author raised various questions since the reform, and also asked whether the ideology has been forgotten in the country. Will the lessons of the Soviet Union one day become our reality? Is the power of this country still in the hands of the political party representing the broad proletariat? He even went so far as to put forward an extremely stern question: "How long can the red flag be raised?" This question has disappeared for more than 20 years and seems too sensitive. As soon as this article came out, the land of China was in an uproar! Anyone who is slightly familiar with the domestic situation knows that "Truth" is not only a well-known party-owned media in China, but also has a very strong political background. The power behind this publication is enough to influence the direction of the country and even the country. A group of destiny. The fact that this article was published on the front page of "Truth" has already explained a lot of problems. Looking at the argument that borrowed the famous momentum from the past, but was vaguely murderous, for a while, both official circles and theoretical circles were confused. I couldn't help but be secretly frightened, thousands of horses were silent, and no one dared to respond. It was at such a time that on New Year's Day in 1992, when the country's leading party media "News" published a full-page New Year's Day message, a signed statement titled "Persistently following the path of reform and opening up is a historical necessity" "The article seems to have appeared on the political commentary page of the third edition! In this article, the author uses a high-level view to enumerate the necessity of reform in the current era, and also uses the words of a giant pen to deeply explore the role of the ruling party.?What kind of responsibilities and obligations should we bear towards history and the people in such an era full of changes? The appearance of such an article is like a drop of ice water falling into a boiling pan of oil, causing huge waves in an instant! In response to this article, the author of the article signed by Bo Tao on "Truth" immediately made competing rebuttals. In the rebuttal article, Du Yan's theory was criticized as a typical statement of bourgeois liberalization and a conspiracy to subvert the existing system and the foundation of the country's governance. For a time, frost, swords, and arrows rained down, and there was a dark cloud. The overwhelming momentum that threatens to overwhelm the city! Taking these two completely different articles as a call to action, like sounding the clarion call for a general offensive, the theoretical elites from both sides, who had already been secretly preparing for the attack, came out with all their strength, focusing on these two completely different arguments. In "News" and "Truth", two party media publications that obviously have their own far-reaching backgrounds, they quoted classics and argued with each other. Later, various domestic party media also joined in this huge line debate. For a time, the two instigators, Gui Yan and Bo Tao, were the leading standard-bearers of their respective theoretical camps, and major domestic newspapers and periodicals were the main ones. On the battlefield, you sing and I appear on the stage, and all kinds of comments are noisy in the dust. Subsequently, in the following days, the increasingly heated debate not only attracted domestic media, but even attracted international attention. While the world is looking at the empire that just disappeared, it is also paying attention to the fierce debate that is taking place in the country that replaced the Soviet Union as a socialist power that may determine the fate of the country. At such a time, Du Yan, who was hiding in the quiet office of the Provincial Party School and leading the fierce line struggle debate, was informed that Vice President Chen Zigao wanted to see him. This is the second time Du Yan has entered Chen Zigao's vice principal's office, but unlike the previous time, Chen Zigao did not keep Du Yan waiting for too long. Walking into the office, Du Yan saw Chen Zigao standing in front of his desk, writing on a piece of snow-white rice paper. Although he couldn't see clearly, the handwriting penetrated the back of the paper and looked vigorous and powerful. Du Yan knew that Chen Zigao's calligraphy was considered outstanding in Hexi Province. Although he was not as well-known as Ding Bingxian's teacher, Mr. Fanhu, he was well-known throughout the province. What was rare was that his calligraphy skills were indeed profound and genuine. The materials are different from those superficial "chief calligraphy". "Principal, please look for me." After seeing Chen Zigao finish writing in one breath, Du Yan stood for a while before asking. "Xiao Du, I have a secondment letter here," Chen Zigao picked up a document and gestured to Du Yan, "It's from "News Daily", take a look." Du Yan finally found the secondment letter and looked at what was written on it. "Due to work needs, please temporarily loan me Du Yan, a researcher at the Youth Research Institute of the Party School of the Hexi Provincial Committee." Then looking at the bright red official seal below, Du Yan only realized what Feng Ziming said before, "It may be necessary." What does "come to the capital" mean? "Xiao Du, my little fish pond can't raise a dragon," Chen Zigao looked at Du Yan with a smile. Seeing that Du Yan was about to speak, he waved his hand slightly. "Needless to say, I understand some things." As he said this, he walked around from behind the table. He came over and walked up to Du Yan. He looked at Du Yan carefully as if he was seeing this young man for the first time. After a while, he said, "I'm leaving. I guess there will be less chance of coming back in the future, but for young people, "It's a good thing." "Principal, I will never forget your help to me," Du Yan said to Chen Zigao, although Chen Zigao had almost no interaction with him during this year, and to be honest, because Regarding Qiao Luowei's relationship, perhaps even without Chen Zigao's previous introduction, Liang Benchu ??would eventually meet Du Yan, but Du Yan didn't see it that way. "At least at that time, Chen Zigao was able to introduce him to Liang Benchu. This was a good thing. Du Yan would not forget it, and he should not forget it. "Where can I help? The key is that you are doing well." Chen Zigao looked at Du Yan and sighed in his heart. As a department-level cadre and the executive vice president of the Provincial Party School, Chen Zigao was very concerned about the raging battle now. Naturally, he is very familiar with the great debate. Even he himself and a group of professors and scholars from the provincial party school he leads have been involved in this great debate that may determine which path the country should take. But unlike others, Chen Zigao knew who Guiyan was that caused this big debate. The reason why he knew about it was because he had a good relationship with other people. Speaking of domestic officialdom, the relationship is complicated. If we look at each person's faction and personal relationship, it is simply a picture. A spider web that no one can explain. It¡¯s just that Chen Zigao found out a little late, and of course he never expected at first that the Gui Yan who caused such a huge sensation was actually the rather talented Du Yan in his school. Now looking at Du Yan who is about to leave, Chen Zigao doesn¡¯t knowWhat kind of feeling was there? When he knew that Du Yan was that Gui Yan, Chen Zigao was not only shocked but also felt uneasy. No one knows how this debate will end in the end, and from the way that the major party media are not willing to take the page to fight with each other, Chen Zigao can also guess that it may involve something that makes him scared even thinking about it. This is a high-level struggle, and Chen Zigao has seen too much of the disaster that will result if this struggle fails. So when he knew that Du Yan was the initiator of this big debate, Chen Zigao thought about how to take precautions so that if an adverse situation occurred, it would not have an adverse impact on the entire provincial party school and himself. During this period, he thought about finding an opportunity to transfer Du Yan out of school for a while, but before he could make up his mind, a transfer order was suddenly sent from the capital. When he saw the transfer order, Chen Zigao once let out a helpless sigh. He knew that he had lost a good opportunity. Although he has been in school for many years, Chen Zigao is very clear about the officialdom. As long as he thinks about the trend of recent debates and the intention of News Daily to second Du Yan at this time, Chen Zigao has realized that maybe the above The direction of the wind has already been determined to some extent. Although Chen Zigao cannot know the various twists and turns in this matter, when he thinks of Du Yan's role in this matter, Chen Zigao can also guess that as long as there are not too many problems, , this may be a real opportunity for Du Yan to soar into the sky. And he had obviously missed the opportunity to get closer to Du Yan because of his hesitation. "Xiao Du, I'm leaving. Let me give you a few words," Chen Zigao said, pointing to the still-dry ink on the table. "Xiao Du, you are still young. It is a good thing to be young and energetic, but you must also pay attention to propriety. I don¡¯t need to elaborate on the pros and cons of this. I just give you a few words as my parting words to you." Du Yan walked to the table and looked at the strong and powerful people, as if everything was unspoken. He raised his head and bowed slightly to Chen Zigao. "Thank you, principal. I will definitely remember your teachings." "Where there is any teaching, it is just an old man's nagging." Chen Zigao laughed and asked Du Yan a few more questions about preparations and handover work. Afterwards, Chen Zigao picked up the documents on the table. "I won't disturb the principal then." Du Yan carefully picked up the calligraphy given to him by Chen Zigao. After bowing slightly to Chen Zigao again, Du Yan turned around and walked out of Chen Zigao's office. Hearing the door close, after a while Chen Zigao slowly put down the documents in his hand. He walked to the window and looked outside. He saw Du Yan walking out of the office building and then walked away without looking back. Chen Zigao took off his glasses. He rubbed the corners of his eyes, and then murmured in a low voice that even he didn't seem to understand: "It's a pity, it's a pity." Regarding this sudden transfer, Du Yan told his family that it was just a temporary business trip, because he was very He knew that he would not be able to stay at "News Daily" for a long time. This was not so much a job transfer as it was purely done to allow him to make those remarks more logically during the big debate. It was an expedient measure, but he didn't expect that for this reason, he would actually use the secondment letter to transfer him directly to the capital. This shows how intense the struggle at the top has become. So Du Yan just took a few changes of clothes with him and left home. He knew that he was really just "seconded" this time. The day before leaving home, he arrived at Su Qian's house. Since the last incident at Huayang Mall, Gu Weifen has probably really given up on the matter between him and Su Qian. Although his attitude is still lukewarm, at least he is not so picky anymore. This time, Du Yan brought a piece of news to Su Qian. As early as October, as the situation in the Soviet Union changed, Du Yan made a suggestion to Qiao Luowei through Zhao Xiaoyun, which was to invest a large amount of stocks in Donghai City. Speaking of which, Du Yan sometimes felt really helpless. Although the extra years of knowledge made him very clear about some things that were about to happen, because of the different paths he chose, he had to give up some things that could have been a more comfortable life. But since This path was chosen by oneself, so there is no need to complain. . But despite this, when the news of the disintegration of the Soviet Union came, and the global stock market was turbulent, and Qiao Luowei took the opportunity to launch an attack on the stock market based on the analysis of Du Yan and the previous Song family think tank, Du Yan had a clear conscience and Qiao Luowei signed a contract regarding compensation for policy consulting. This contract must be signed, because Du Yan knows that no one can guarantee whether someone will take advantage of this matter to get him in trouble in the future. So, inWhen he was about to leave Pingling again, Du Yan took the contract home. It clearly stated in the contract that as an information consultant for Mainland Huachang Group, Du Yan would receive an approximate sum of money from Qiao Luowei. The original stock of 100,000 yuan. In fact, Qiao Luowei asked Du Yan at that time if he wanted a cash reward of 100,000 yuan. After all, stocks obviously cannot maintain their value. But Du Yan was very "stubborn" and insisted on buying the stock. His move made Zhao Xiaoyun complain for a while afterwards. It was not until Du Yan laughed at her that she turned her elbow outward that she said angrily and ashamedly: "I will pay you in the future." Don't cry." Du Yan kept the contract at home, and he gave another sum of money to Su Qian, which was the royalties for his previous articles. Since her last life, Su Qian's life seemed to be entangled with Du Yan. Du Yan remembered that many years later, when their lives gradually improved, Su Qian still only put him and her family in the most important position. Even after a class reunion, when Du Yan asked Su Qian, her former classmates and friends had achieved success in various fields, and when they met again to show off to each other, Su Qian regretted that she had spent her whole life on herself and this family. At that time, Su Qian just smiled lightly and said: "What are you regretting? Don't I already have the best home? Then there is nothing to regret." Du Yan could not forget Su Qian's contentment and happiness at that time This is the love between two lives, a mutual attachment that cannot be erased. But Du Yan also hopes that Su Qian's fate can change. He doesn't want to be so selfish and let Su Qian surround him all his life. He hopes to see Su Qian have the opportunity to prove her abilities and make her Be proud of the achievement. "Don't you want to try the theories you learned on your own? It's just right. Just use the money to try it." Du Yan said to Su Qian who was full of surprise at the time. Although Su Qian repeatedly refused, he still persisted. Give the money to Su Qian. On the first day after leaving home, Du Yan unexpectedly received a call from the provincial capital. The call was from Chu Yijun, secretary of Liang Benchu, the organization director of the provincial party committee. Listening to the news revealed by Chu Yijun on the phone, Du Yan just smiled indifferently. He remembered the title of the previous article on "Truth", "The Great Wave Washes the Sand, Turning the Tide Before Fall". Du Yan also had to admit that the person who wrote this article could be said to be powerful and courageous. Du Yan even suspected that this article was probably written by a certain standard-bearer among conservatives. Thinking of big waves, Du Yan couldn't help but think of the people he had seen challenging huge waves at famous surfing resorts. Before the big wave, warriors make the tide. Only the bravest people can enjoy the pleasure and excitement of that moment. However, those who finally retreat in the face of danger will be washed away by the big wave, and they will eventually lose the opportunity to enjoy that kind of glory because of cowardice. . On January 10, 1992, after completing all the formalities, Du Yan left the Hexi Provincial Party School where he had lived and worked for nearly a year. Two days later, he walked into the News Daily office located on West 4th Road in the capital. Du Yan knew that he was really pressed for time, because in less than a month, a very important event was going to happen. And this major event will be directly related to the fate of everyone in the entire country, including him. Volume 3 "Volume 2 Taihua New Star" Chapter 50 Chapter 49 New Star No. 19, West 4th Street, a quaint two-story building, here is the editor-in-chief of the "News Daily" newspaper. If you just pass by the door, many people will ignore this inconspicuous house. However, anyone who is familiar with this place knows that this is the location of the largest party media in the country. As the mouthpiece of the party, many important decisions that determine the fate of the country are here. Decisions are made through here and spread to the country and the world. It was also from here that articles were published that made some people go to heaven in an instant, while others fell into hell in an instant. It can be said that the fate of the entire country has been closely related to this humble two-story building from the beginning. From the various archives preserved here, we can reflect the various ups and downs this country has experienced, as well as the various political tragedies and comedies that are weird, mysterious, and even absurd. In the yard behind the editor-in-chief, there is an equally quiet small building. In this capital city where land is at a premium, this seemingly lonely small building seems to be a little quiet amidst the chaos, but also a little mysterious. In fact, the staff of the Editorial Department had received an order not to enter without permission. At the same time as the order was issued, two armed police officers on duty appeared at the door of the small building. And this duty was obviously all-weather, because some people watched Yes, even late at night, there were armed policemen taking turns swimming outside the brightly lit building. Almost all the staff of the Editorial Department have experienced this kind of thing. Often when the country needs to make some major decisions, or at certain moments that involve the fate of the country, some special people will gather in this small building. These people No one knows what people are doing, but often not long after, a heavyweight article that stirs up waves will appear on the front page of News Daily. Du Yan is now in this small building. When he first arrived at the News Daily editor-in-chief, the staff in the editor-in-chief who was responsible for receiving him were very suspicious. They never imagined that Gui Yan would be such an outrageously young half-grown child. Of course, in the eyes of most white-haired theorists, Du Yan can only be regarded as a child. After all, he has just passed the age of twenty-five and is too young in the field of political theory. Somewhat. In fact, Du Yan already knows that things have gradually gone beyond his control. In other words, from the beginning, he only wanted to stir up this storm that is destined to attract the attention of the national political theory circle. What came down was no longer within his reach. So when he walked into this mysterious building under the leadership of deputy editor-in-chief Geng, he saw people from Capital University, Jinghua University, Renmin University, School of Finance and Economics, the writing team of News Daily, and the political research team of the General Office of the State Council. He was not surprised at all when he saw experts and scholars in various fields. Because he knows that although this side is full of enthusiasm and eager to try, "the other side" is probably gearing up at this time, ready to face the enemy at any time. Sure enough, from the first day they came in, except for a slight commotion caused by Du Yan's age, these writers, who are almost the top writers in the domestic political commentary field, immediately started working intensively. The division of labor was quite clear. From the beginning, the writing team, which had been divided into several different groups, began to discuss the articles published by Du Yan and "Bo Tao" from different angles. Arguments, counterarguments, inferences, until more are extended to attack the other party and establish one's own various arguments and viewpoints. Then, these opinions will be summarized, and then the main writers in each writing team will formulate different opinion articles. Later, Du Yan will use these opinion articles as the main basis for argumentation, and publish whether it is momentum or opinions, it is considered A masterpiece that is enough to theoretically crush the opponent. Du Yan believed that the other party had obviously done the same thing in this process, and he had to admit that in front of these professional penmen, or to put it simply, they were almost as good as the top of a pen in the army, he couldn't help but admit that he The little ink in my belly is really not enough. Fortunately, from the beginning, his article stood out precisely at a time when the whole country was faced with the question "How long can the red flag continue to fly" due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and no one dared to challenge it? At the critical moment of "sorrow", he firmly established his position as the flagship figure of the reformist theoretical camp! Therefore, although his age made many people in the writing team feel incredible, when faced with various doubts from these people, Du Yan was able to appropriately utilize his strengths and avoid weaknesses and use the knowledge he knew that was beyond this era, so he Still, he soon gained the gradual recognition of the old scholars in the team. The most important thing is that, as Du Yan originally envisioned, what should be said should be said when it is most needed, and Du Yan knows that this time is stillArrive. That moment arrived when "Truth" suddenly published six or seven conservative articles by "Bo Tao" in one breath on January 18. These articles were not only highly theoretical, but also included The murderous aura that had been vaguely revealed caused the atmosphere in the small building in the backyard of the News Daily editor-in-chief not only to freeze, but even to say that it was as silent as a chill. "Should the surname be capitalist or social?" "Does the country still need the leadership of the party?" ! When these two questions, which no one in China could but regard as forbidden areas, were raised, the entire writing team couldn't help but collectively fell silent! For a whole afternoon, except for people taking this issue of "Truth" and thinking about it, no one proposed to write. Even people talked less among themselves. Some people looked at other people's opinions. There was wariness in their eyes, and some of them secretly regretted joining this temporary writing team that they thought would be of great benefit. At this time, the only person in the small building who still showed tireless energy, looking for information everywhere, taking notes, and asking others for advice from time to time, was Du Yan. Seeing Du Yan still so energetic, some old people who had experienced too much in their early years sighed secretly. In their eyes, this young man did have extraordinary political sensitivity, but after all, he had too little experience and experienced too many setbacks. There are not even many dangers, so it is impossible to tell that behind these latest articles on "Truth", the spirit of debate has been completely abandoned, and the spirit of debate has been completely abandoned. Instead, it has been published nakedly in the way that it was published in the early years. threaten. The surname is Zi and She? Do we still need party leadership? These words can make people lose their heads! On the morning of January 19, it snowed heavily the day before. Du Yan, who had slept very late the day before, couldn't lie down anymore. He got up, put on his clothes, and looked outside because the snow scene seemed brighter earlier than usual. It was getting dark, so Du Yan opened the window and took a few deep breaths of the cool air, then walked out of the house into the corridor. The corridor was very quiet. The old people who had gotten up early because they had not slept much because of their age, did not leave the room as if they were discussing it. Seeing this scene, Du Yan just smiled slightly. He actually knew these old people very well. In their thoughts, they have experienced too much, seen too much, the ups and downs, the moments of honor and disgrace, which made these old people become cautious. And the writers on the side of "Truth" headed by "Bo Tao" are indeed powerful. After several major debates, they finally dropped a bombshell that no one dared to touch. , it should be said to be an atomic bomb with full yield! A staff member walked out of the confidential room with a piece of fax paper. When he saw Du Yan, he greeted him and handed the fax paper to him. Du Yan knew that these faxes were all the various requirements put forward by the upper management to the writing team, as well as the key points of the discussion on the direction of this debate. I have to admit that although there are many theoretical masters in the writing team who have a huge pen, but when it comes to the decision-making direction of these upper-level people, they can still only be viewed and explained from the perspective of a knife-pen clerk. This is probably It is the so-called gap between masters and craftsmen that seems simple but often cannot be explored in a lifetime. When he took the fax paper and read the content on it, the staff member noticed that Du Yan's hand seemed to tremble slightly, but then he regained his composure. Du Yan took the fax paper and looked at it carefully. There were not many words on it, just a few simple lists. If put together with other such writing propositions that he had been receiving these days, it should be It can only be said to be a routine arrangement of questions. But just holding such a piece of paper in Du Yan's hand made him feel as heavy as a thousand pieces! "Determine the policy of adhering to the party's basic line; boldly attempt reforms and persist in developing the economy; ensure reform and opening up, and stabilize social order; explore how to demonstrate the characteristics and commonalities of socialism in the new era and new environment while strengthening socialist beliefs. Development." Du Yan looked at this thin fax paper and told himself again and again to calm down. Looking at the blank space under the fax paper, there was an irregular but very eye-catching question mark that seemed to be drawn with a pencil. Du Yan finally calmed down. He took the fax paper into the office seriously, pushed it away and placed it randomly on the table. He sat down and looked at the printing paper carefully. "Xiao Du, is there a new topic?" An elderly man came over. His hair was all white, but he seemed to be in good spirits. "Ebi, please take a look at this topic." Du Yan handed over the fax paper. Hai Lao took it and looked at it, his brows gradually furrowed: "Demonstrating the differences and development of the characteristics and commonalities of socialism in the new era and new environment, oh Xiao Du, this topic is not easy to write."?You should know the domestic situation, what is the personality of socialism? If this argument continues, won't it turn into revisionism? Who came up with this topic? How can this be allowed? "Hai Lao said and threw the fax paper on the table angrily. "Can the meaning of socialism be modified at will? I can see that the person who asked this question either has a brain problem or has not fully understood the most fundamental elements of socialist theory. He is a typical self-righteous mediocre person. " Listening to Mr. Hai's merciless praise and criticism of the person who asked the question, Du Yan was slightly dazed. He looked at Mr. Hai with a strange look, but he soon felt relieved. "Master and craftsman, although there is only one word difference, This realm is indeed thousands of miles away. ¡°Well, Mr. Hai, let me write this topic. "Hai Lao is the leader of the core theory writing group. Du Yan wants to take this topic with his consent." Hai Lao looked at Du Yan and opened his mouth, as if to dissuade him, but in the end he didn't say anything and just nodded, then lowered his head. He went to look for the information in his hand instead of looking at Du Yan. Du Yan took the fax paper and left the office. He returned to his room, placed the fax paper on the table and looked at it carefully. He had a good time. After a while, he picked up the pen and began to write down a line on the paper with a topic that he had prepared countless times in his mind - "On unswervingly taking the socialist road and improving socialism with characteristics suitable for our country's national conditions." "Market Economy"! At the end of January 1992, just before the Lunar New Year, the theoretical elites who had been "imprisoned" for more than half a month in the small building behind the editor-in-chief of News Daily were finally "released" Walked out. From the time he walked into this small building to the nearly twenty days he came out, Du Yan could not leave the house, so when he stepped out of the building and walked into the yard, he looked back. It was a small building, and Du Yan felt a little attached to it. He knew that he would probably never have the chance to enter this building again, and from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to have the chance to walk in again, because he would never tolerate it. In the end, he could only be positioned as a theoretical researcher. Although, these short twenty days not only benefited him a lot, but also made him feel like he was completely transformed. Bending down, he picked up the snow on the ground and rolled it into a snowball. Du Yan couldn't help but smile. Being able to coexist with these outstanding people in various fields was a rare opportunity for Du Yan. He knew that if he didn't have it, With his past life knowledge, it is impossible for him to have the opportunity to be so close to these people who can even be said to truly determine the future destiny of the country. And from them, he has learned a lot, which is enough for him to spend a long time. Digest and understand. The article about the characteristics of socialism written according to the title was sent out by fax, and Du Yan never bothered to ask about it again. There are some things that you know you can do even if you know they will. How to develop, but who can guarantee that there will be no accidents? At least my awakening and rebirth has changed the fate of many people who were already destined. In the future, will there be more people who will change because of my changes? All kinds of changes also happened? At this time, Du Yan suddenly felt the urge to find someone to drink with. He hesitated and found the phone number that Song Jiayi had left for him. He was supposed to get married last year. Song Jiayi didn't know why, but the wedding date was not set. According to the information revealed by Zhao Xiaoyun, Song Jiayi's fianc¨¦e's family didn't seem to be in a hurry, and the matter was settled inexplicably. This result was certainly what Song Jiayi wanted to see. According to Zhao Xiaoyun, he glared at Du Yan sideways and said with slight disdain: "Mr. Song comes to see Miss Ou every once in a while, and Miss Ou is so happy every time. I really wonder what she thinks. "Song Jiayi should actually enjoy the treatment of having the red flag at home and colorful flags flying outside, even though the red flag has not been completely inserted into his home. During this period, Song Jiayi often talked with Du He even contacted Du Yan once, but for some reason, Du Yan always felt that Song Jiayi had something on his mind, and he also noticed that Song Jiayi always seemed to look at him with a speculating attitude. Although Du Yan was concerned about it and had some worries, now it was the best "honeymoon period" for him and the Song family. Both sides cooperated while getting what they needed without any fundamental conflict. This was also Du Yan's best. The reason why he thought of Song Jiayi when he wanted to drink was a young-sounding woman who answered the phone. Not long after Du Yan announced his home, Song Jiayi's voice came from the other side of the phone: "I guess you are too. It's almost time to come out. Why, do you want to relax after coming out? Ask your buddy to arrange it for you? " "Find a quiet place,"Just sit down. "Du Yan said lightly. Song Jiayi's slightly dandy tone sounded a little strange, which made Du Yan couldn't help but wonder who the woman next to him could be, because based on his not very deep understanding of Song Jiayi, this second generation was not Such a superficial and simple character. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s find a quiet place,¡± Song Jiayi said. ¡°Are you interested in enjoying the garden in the snow? At this time, Taihe Garden should be considered a quiet place. " "Okay, then it's Taihe Garden. " Du Yan smiled lightly. He didn't expect that Song Jiayi would be so enthusiastic about walking in the snow and admiring the garden at this time, and it was also a famous royal garden. "Just wait, I'll have someone pick you up," Song Jiayi said, but Then he suddenly said, "Congratulations, Du Da Mi. " Du Yan was slightly startled, but when he heard the busy signal from the phone, he could only shake his head and put down the phone with a smile. About half an hour later, a Santana parked outside the editorial office, and Du Yan walked out, Before getting in the car, he looked back at the inconspicuous Western-style building behind him. After taking a deep breath of cool air, Du Yan got into the car. Taihe Garden is located in the northwest of the original imperial city. The Chinese people already have too much emotion and helplessness about the royal gardens built in the late Qing Dynasty. For this royal garden built with naval military funds, every time they see the beautiful palaces, which combine the styles of the north and the south. In one body, it has the majesty of the north and the graceful garden scenery of the south. Countless hot-blooded Chinese people can't help but ask the simplest question, but also filled with countless bitterness and humiliation: "Without a powerful navy to defend the sea, no matter how good it is, Wouldn¡¯t my garden be owned by others one day? What was going through the mind of the woman who made this decision? ! " Walking on the winding bluestone path, looking at the strange things on the roadside, which were said to be rockery stones specially transported from Taihu Lake at that time, Du Yan couldn't help but think about this question that has been asked by countless people. "Then. What on earth was the Queen Mother thinking at that time? Maybe for her, since more than two hundred years have passed since the Qing Dynasty, there is no reason to continue for another two hundred years. Maybe she has already seen that it is difficult to return, so she might as well enjoy the glory of the end. Maybe, she Just to show her power and the so-called royal majesty, just like some people now, in their minds, this country only belongs to them, and others should not touch it. " Du Yan thought this in his mind until he was led into a beautiful-looking pavilion with carved beams and painted columns that showed wealth. When he entered the garden just now, Du Yan had noticed that the car did not come from the public The one who came in was through a small door. In Du Yan¡¯s memory of his previous life, he had lived in the capital for several years due to work. During that period, he had visited Taihe Garden several times, but this one came in now. The place should not be open to the public. As soon as the door of the Nuan Pavilion was opened, a wave of heat rushed into his face. To Du Yan's surprise, it was Miss Ou who opened the thick leather curtain to greet him. , how dare you do this. "Du Yan immediately smiled and greeted Miss Ou. He had always had a good impression of Miss Ou. Looking at Miss Ou, she seemed to be doing well, which made Du Yan have to admire Song Jiayi for being really good at coaxing women. First hand. "You have done something good, as you should. "Song Jiayi sat in a chair and looked at Du Yan. The food and wine on the table in front of him looked delicate and exquisite. When he saw the cups and plates containing the food and wine, Du Yan's eyes twitched slightly. His intuition told him, These porcelains with five dragons and delicate glazes may not be lifelike fakes. The wine was hot and the food was fragrant. Du Yan ate it lightly, but he felt something else in his heart. Did he do something wrong? ? Did everything he did not only attack some forces that wanted to reverse course, but also create better conditions for a huge interest group in the future? So, will he one day fight with this interest group? What kind of dangers and hardships will you face when a collision occurs? "Du Yan, I have to admit that you are a genius. "Song Jiayi's sighing voice interrupted Du Yan's deep thoughts. He raised his head and saw Song Jiayi looking at him with that inquiring look that he was already familiar with. "I'm just lucky. " Du Yan said something that Song Jiayi would never really understand. "You can't explain luck." Song Jiayi took a sip of the warm wine that Miss Ou had just poured from a Qinglong warming box filled with hot water, and then he said seriously Looking at Du Yan, he said calmly, "This time you really want to move, and it's a place where you can feel proud. " Du Yan stopped raising the glass. He looked at Song Jiayi and saw the pointed smile on Song Jiayi's face. Du Yan pursed his lips slightly, continued to raise the glass, and drank it all in one gulp. " From YijiuBeginning in early February 1992, when the entire land of China was at a loss due to a debate about roads, an old man who was nearly ninety years old left the capital and began a southern tour that attracted the attention of the entire world! During this southern tour, the old man put forward the theory of socialism with distinctive characteristics. At the same time as the old man visited the south, an article titled "The young phoenix is ??more clear than the old phoenix" suddenly appeared in the form of a special issue in " "News Internal Reference", this article titled Gui Yan was quickly sent to the old man who was doing research in Donghai City at the time. The old man fully affirmed the idea of ??this article and even improvised some speeches on the spot. When these speeches were dispersed across the country along with TV signals and newspapers and media, many people who were highly sensitive to politics realized that , an era in which national politics is controlled by the elderly is coming to an end, and a new era is coming. On March 2, 1992, Monday, the atmosphere had been a bit strange since the morning. At about ten o'clock, as a Santana drove into the yard, the Pingling County Committee of Taihua City, Hexi Province, headed by County Party Secretary Li Peizheng , Pingling party and government officials all looked at Santana who stopped. The person who got out of the car was Feng Hao, the organization director of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee. Following him was a young but calm young man who got out of the car. Seeing the young man, Li Peizheng showed a happy smile on his face. He shook hands with Feng Hao first, and then extended his hand to the young man: "Welcome home Xiaodu, I am very happy." "Secretary Li, it should be I'm happy to be able to work under you again." Du Yan stretched out his hands and held them tightly with Li Peizheng. Behind him, Guo Songlin looked gloomy, Ding Bingxian took it indifferently, Tu Xiangdong was thoughtful, and more people were shocked, envious, and some were secretly uneasy. In the county party committee auditorium, the people sitting below looked at the young man who stood out the most on the rostrum. The voice of Feng Hao, the organization director of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, echoed in the empty auditorium. "According to the review and evaluation of the Organization Department of Taihua City, Hexi Province, the Taihua Municipal Committee passed the resolution to appoint Comrade Du Yan as the director of the Pingling County New Economic Zone Committee, with deputy director-level treatment. At the same time, the municipal committee recommended" After reading this, Feng Hao turned his head slightly and looked at Du Yan, who was sitting next to Guo Songlin on his right, with a meaningful look. "Comrade Du Yan serves as a member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee, Taihua City, Hexi Province." Listening to Feng Hao's announcement, everyone's His eyes focused on Du Yan again. From experiencing repeated setbacks after waking up from the dream, to being wronged and leaving Daqing, Pingling, and even having to leave Taihua, after a year of silence, just when many people had forgotten him, Du Yan suddenly returned to Pingling again, and this Once, he was the director of the new district and a member of the Standing Committee of Pingling County Party Committee! This year, Du Yan was just twenty-five years old. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 1 Chapter 1 The Feast of the Wind After the appointment meeting, as usual, Feng Hao, the organization director of the municipal party committee, stayed for lunch. When getting off the bus, he was still a guest like Feng Hao. After the appointment was announced, Du Yan naturally became an official of Pingling County and had to toast Feng Hao along with other county party committee leaders. In China, the reason why the Organization Department is called the cadre¡¯s natal family is very appropriate. Because if you want to make progress, you must first get the attention and attention of the organization department, and if you can get the attention of the organization minister, it is obviously a good thing for a cadre. Similarly, in domestic politics, human affairs are often the most important, even more than money in many cases, because as long as the right people are used, money is almost not a big issue. So as soon as the dinner started, Feng Hao became the focus of everyone's toasts. Although most of the people here were actually not enough to attract Feng Hao's attention, they were more or less lucky, so Feng Hao was immediately surrounded by them. , for a while, cups were exchanged, and the county committee canteen seemed to be in harmony. Feng Hao has a good drinking capacity, and there are more than a dozen people who can directly lean on him to toast him. Although the wine glass is not big, his face does not change color after the round, which is not easy. During this period, there was a rather strange phenomenon that caught Li Peizheng's attention. He found that in addition to the county party committee office, some township leaders below, cadres from county-level agencies, and some young people who were toasting Du Yan, the four people were also very enthusiastic. Some senior or elderly cadres in the team rarely toasted to Du Yan. This made Li Peizheng secretly frown. In fact, Li Peizheng also understood the thoughts of these cadres. After all, Du Yan was too young. Although according to his resume, he should have reached the age of twenty-five, but in fact he was only twenty-five years old this year. Just a few months after turning four. It would be okay if this was the war years, or it would make sense if the country advocated vigorously promoting young cadres in the early 1980s. At that time, because it had just experienced the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution, the country was almost full of cadres with experience and level. The lack of cadres is almost a common phenomenon across the country. At the same time, due to the influence of the extreme ideological trends of the past nearly two decades, a large number of leading cadres have serious ideological problems, so they have to use young cadres with brand-new ideas. At that time, even There have been city-level leaders who were less than thirty years old, but this is not the case now. Now is an era of seniority. Among the leading cadres that are all middle-aged or even elderly, a young kid in his twenties who still seems to be young suddenly appears. This cannot help but make some people feel unacceptable. Maybe it is even more difficult for some people to accept it, because Du Yan, who is actually only 24 years old this year, has already completed a path that many people have never completed in their lives. This is really a bit irritating. As for some of them, they simply felt fearful and uneasy about Du Yan's return, at least for Lao Yu, the deputy director of the County Party Committee Office. When Du Yan left the county party committee office the year before last, Lao Yu recommended Li Peizheng to take over the position of deputy director of the county party committee office. At that time, Lao Yu had already become depressed because he had been working for many years but had not even become a deputy director. With Du Yan's words, Lao Yu suddenly turned around, his rank was resolved, and he also served as deputy director of the county party committee office. This made Lao Yu very happy and grateful to Du Yan. However, after Du Yan's accident, Lao Yu alienated him and never said a word for Du Yan. When others mentioned Du Yan, Lao Yu couldn't wait to distance himself from the relationship, for fear that he would be implicated. Sometimes he even said sadly, I really didn't expect Xiao Du to be this kind of person. Why didn't I see it before? Wait, wait, etc. Having said this for a long time, it naturally spread to Li Peizheng, because this Li Peizheng had opinions about Lao Yu. In Li Peizheng¡¯s view, if Du Yan did not do these things, then there is a real problem. It is wrong for Lao Yu to say this before the investigation is clear. What's more, it's just for others to add insult to injury. It's unreasonable for you to do this. After all, you owe your existence to Du Yan. Because of this, when it came time for the next year's review, Lao Yu's main subject was inexplicably lost, which made Lao Yu angry. When he found out in a roundabout way that it was Li Peizheng who was not accommodating in his review, Lao Yu thought in his heart There was a fire in the nest. Of course he didn't dare to vent his anger on Li Peizheng, but he was not so polite to the people in the county party committee office. After getting angry several times, Lao Yu thought that it was probably what he said about Du Yan that caused Li Peizheng's dissatisfaction. , in fear and uneasiness, Lao Yu gradually leaned towards Guo Songlin. Li Peizheng was very aware of Lao Yu's behavior, but he did not regret his inaccommodation in Lao Yu's rating. In fact, he had long wanted to replace Lao Yu. Du Yan recommended Lao Yu to take over the county party committee. The position of deputy director was only because there was no suitable candidate at the time.?It's just a matter of expediency. But now Lao Yu is really scared. He never expected that Du Yan not only came back, but also suddenly became the director of the new district and a member of the standing committee of the county party committee. Although he should have stayed in the new district most of the time, the truth is that County Party Committee leaders! Thinking of these things, Lao Yu's face kept breaking out in sweat. He knew that when the situation was bad, he not only turned the tide but also made things worse. The news must have reached Du Yan's ears. He remembered that it was said that Feng Chao was just because he was in Liyuju's face. After scolding Du Yan, he ended up in jail, and even brought his uncle Wu Shenzheng with him, so he was the deputy director of the county party committee to take advantage of his job. Old Yu's hand holding the wine glass started to become uncontrollable trembled. With this thought in his mind, Lao Yu became a little bored after drinking the wine. When several young people from the county party committee pulled him and asked him to take the lead in toasting Du Yan, the stone weighing on Lao Yu's heart became Heavier and heavier. Lao Yu stood up, but before he could take a step, he saw Du Yan walking over with a wine glass and toasting along the table. Lao Yu's heart began to beat very fast. He didn't know how Du Yan would treat him, but thinking about the unethical things he had done before, he felt cold sweat break out from his heart. Du Yan held a wine glass and toasted along the table. He saw many familiar faces and many smiles that were familiar before, but now these smiles were different from before. Du Yan walked from table to table. He was supposed to be the leader of the county committee. Naturally, he should have someone beside him to pour and hold the wine. This job used to be done by Tu Xiangdong. As the director of the county committee office, Tu Xiangdong's ranking in the standing committee of the county committee was originally In the end, after Du Yan came, this certain person's position, whether it was seniority or position, would naturally belong to him. Tu Xiangdong couldn't accompany him, but Du Yan was indeed the leader. According to the rules, the job of accompanying the wine should fall on the deputy director of the county party committee office. However, the person accompanying Du Yan now is the current director of the town party committee office of Daqing Township. Hu Xuecong. Before Du Yan left Daqing Township, Hu Xuecong was transferred from the town middle school to the town committee office to replace Lao Zhai, who went to Shuangdui to serve as the mayor. Du Yan suddenly had to leave Daqing Township because of a funding case. Hu Xuecong's The situation became awkward. Although he didn't even have a chance to get to know Du Yan from the beginning, in the eyes of others, Hu Xuecong seemed to be Du Yan's person. Just because Shi Changgeng had not had time to touch Hu Xuecong again, the new economic zone had already put up a sign. After taking office, Liu Jiahui obviously thought of the previous energy of the old county magistrate Hu in the local area, so he was quite attracted to Hu Xuecong. Only then did he continue to be the director of the town committee office. Now, as Hu Xuecong followed Du Yan, he was actually feeling sad and uneasy. Although it was Du Yan who left Daqing Township for his own reasons, Hu Xuecong changed his employer halfway. He didn't know if Du Yan would still trust him when he came back. Moreover, Shi Changgeng and Guo Songlin had almost the same gloomy faces. On the topic, Hu Xuecong can also feel the pressure Du Yan brings to some people. This makes Hu Xuecong even more cautious. After all, Du Yan is now not only the director of the new district, but also a member of the county party committee standing committee. This is much more difficult to serve than Liu Jiahui, who suddenly left Pingling for medical treatment a year ago. Hu Xuecong was thinking as he followed Du Yan. Du Yan's identity had changed now, so when he walked to each table, no matter what he was thinking, the cadres immediately stood up and raised their glasses, and because Du Yan had stayed in the county party committee compound for a long time before, and many people had interacted with him. They also knew that the former Du Da Mi did not drink very much, so there were not many people who could really toast him. . This requires Hu Xuecong to be smarter. When he was storing wine for Du Yan, he would pay attention to the scenes on different tables from time to time. For example, when he walked to the CPPCC or National People's Congress table, Hu Xuecong would cleverly give Du Yan a cup of wine. Pour some wine. After all, it's fun to drink as much as you can with these veteran cadres. When he arrived at the tables of some subordinate bureau offices, Hu Xuecong poured a little more wine. Although some of the young people were inevitably eager to try, Du Yan's status as the county leader had already separated him from the others. This was reflected by many cadres themselves. , but you can tell by not forcing Du Yan to toast. But when he arrived at the table at the County Public Security Bureau, he was a little surprised. After having a full drink with Liu Laofei, Du Yan looked at Wang Lianyi who was looking at him on the other side of the table, and Du Yan took the wine bottle from Hu Xuecong's hand. He walked around the table and poured a full glass for Wang Lianyi, who was a little overwhelmed, with his own hands under the surprised gazes of many people. "Lian Yi, let's have a drink for both of us." Du Yan filled his own cup and then raised his glass to Wang Lianyi. His move made many people around him feel strange, but the one who knew the reason was the one who had raised his glass to Wang Lianyi. I am envious of the right bet.   "Director Du I don't dare to take this seriously." Wang Lianyi's face turned red, and he was both excited and uneasy. He knew that after drinking this glass of wine, he would be labeled with the word "Du" on his forehead, and he would say whatever he said in the future. He was about to stand in the same boat as Du Yan. "Director Du, you can do whatever you want with me." "It's so important. I'll do it." Du Yan raised his glass and raised his head, pouring a sip of wine directly into his throat. Wang Lianyi quickly raised his glass with both hands and raised his head. He drank the first sip. Seeing this scene, Guo Songlin, who was sitting at the main table, frowned. Liao Kun, the organization director of the county party committee opposite him, said with a smile: "Director Xiao Du, you really have a clear distinction between love and hate." After listening to Liao Kun's words , Feng Hao looked at Ding Bingxian next to him with some doubts, but Ding Bingxian just said lightly: "Doing things for people is nothing more than natural justice and human kindness. Xiao Du's behavior can be regarded as a result of his temperament. I think it's good." Guo Songlin frowned again, Liao Kun He was about to say something, but Tu Xiangdong next to him interrupted as if he didn't notice that he was about to speak: "Secretary Ding is right. What if you become an official? If you become an official and you don't even dare to recognize your friends, then this official It's too cowardly." Li Peizheng, who was gently stroking the edge of the wine glass in front of him, just said calmly: "Xiao Du, please be polite." After hearing what Li Peizheng said, Liao Kun didn't know what to say. He laughed, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine. The wine table was slightly chilly for a moment, but Li Peizheng's originally slightly unhappy face showed a smile. Du Yan¡¯s high-profile toast to Wang Lianyi seemed to have the spirit of a young man, but it also revealed a hint of strength, which made Li Peizheng, who was a little worried about him, feel a lot more relaxed. Guo Songling never said much. He didn't believe Du Yan's sudden strong return when he first heard the news. But the facts are obvious. Guo Songlin could never have imagined what happened to Du Yan in this year. However, he had to admit that although the Du Yan now looked as calm as the previous one, he was still very calm. The young man who still has a smart and out-of-the-box personality is like two completely different people. What surprised Guo Songlin the most was that the person who accompanied Du Yan to take office was actually Feng Hao, who was the organizational director of the municipal party committee. Such an appointment specification was often only enjoyed by the county party secretary or county magistrate, while other cadres took office, even if they took office. It is enough that the Standing Committee appoints an executive deputy minister to accompany him. This made Guo Songlin feel even more pressure when he was surprised. The current nine members of the Pingling County Party Committee Standing Committee, originally Li Peizheng, Ding Bingxian and Tu Xiangdong, were already the three guaranteed votes, and with Li Peizheng on his side for a year After many years of disintegration and differentiation, the advantages are no longer so obvious, and now Du Yan is here again, which makes Guo Songlin feel unprecedented pressure. What really made Guo Songlin uneasy was that he didn¡¯t know that the new district director was Du Yan until Mayor Ren Shuqiang called him the day before, and even Ren Shuqiang had just found out about it! What does this mean? Thinking of this, Guo Songlin's expression became darker. At this time, Du Yan had already tapped Wang Lianyi, who was still looking excited, on the shoulder and asked him to sit down. Because he drank a lot, his cheeks turned red. Hu Xuecong immediately asked in a low voice: "Director, go back to the table and have something to eat first." "Okay." "It's okay. I don't drink much, but this wine is okay," Du Yan said, glancing at the wine bottle in Hu Xuecong's hand. "It's a good thing. It's all the foundation laid by the director." Hu Xuecong said with some emotion that over the past year, Qingguo wine has not only become the main type of wine in Pingling, but also has gradually become a familiar wine in cities like Taihua and even Qingfeng. Green fruit wine is not available in the market for a while. After all, no matter what the craft taste is, Linchi still has its own "white drink" to support it, and wine is very local in some places. "Let's go, it's time to go and get together with the people from the county committee office." Looking at the people from the county committee office who had already paid attention to his movements, Du Yan just smiled. He followed the rule of first going outside and then inside when going around the table to toast. Those who came from the county committee office are now the leaders of the county committee. Of course, people from the county committee office are considered guilty to him. Seeing Du Yan approaching, a group of cadres from the county party committee office immediately stood up. Most of them had worked with Du Yan before, but no one expected that this young man who originally thought he would be unlucky after committing a crime would When he came back, he seemed to be the leader of the county party committee, and the gap between him and them was already too big. Du Yan stood at the table and looked at these familiar faces with some emotion. When he saw Li Peizheng's secretary Xiao Chen, he nodded slightly, but when he met Lao Yu's eyes, his expression became lighter. Everyone at the table seemed to feel somethingWell, the originally lively sound of greetings also gradually disappeared, and people just looked at Du Yan. This strange scene naturally attracted the attention of other tables. When they saw Old Yu standing opposite Du Yan with an embarrassed look on his face, At this time, many people who knew the reason slowly lowered their voices, and some who stayed away simply stood up. For a while, the atmosphere in the canteen seemed a bit strange. "Let's have a drink. I will need your support in my work in the future." Du Yan raised the filled wine glass. He glanced at the cadres of the county party committee. When his eyes passed over Lao Yu's face, he seemed to He didn't notice the old man at all. "We are acquaintances with many of the comrades here, and some of them are meeting for the first time." At this point, Du Yan glanced at the two strange young men and women. They must have just been assigned to the school after graduation last year. "No matter whether we are new acquaintances or old friends, I hope everyone can cooperate with my work in the future." As he spoke, Du Yan raised his glass and drank it slowly. The cadres immediately followed suit and drank the wine in their glasses. The young girl with a strange face, who seemed to have no capacity for alcohol and looked embarrassed, gritted her teeth and drank it all in one gulp, regardless of the hints of the young man next to her. Du Yan glanced at the girl with admiration, and then at the young man next to her who was eager to get some fruit to make wine for her. Without saying anything, he just flashed the empty wine glass to these cadres, then turned and walked towards the main table. go. From beginning to end, he ignored Lao Yu. As soon as he returned to the main table, Minister Dong from the Ministry of Armed Forces, who was already impatient with waiting, walked around the table with a bottle of green fruit wine that he had just opened. "Xiao Du, I know you're not very good at drinking," Director Dong said, but the look on his face made Du Yan feel a little nervous. "Well, let's share this bottle between the two of us and I'll drink it here," he said He gestured with his hand about two-thirds of the way through the bottle, "The rest is yours, how about it?" Looking at Minister Dong's smiling expression, Du Yan could only secretly smile bitterly. He knew this. He had to drink wine himself. Firstly, because of the friendship established with Minister Dong through Zhao Youxun's introduction, and secondly, it involved military-civilian relations, no matter which one he could not avoid. Seeing Minister Dong take two large glasses, Du Yan could only grit his teeth secretly. Fortunately, it didn't matter if he drank it and fell down. No one would catch him on the first day. This was also the practice in domestic official circles. Although he was drinking green fruit wine with a low alcohol content, when he finished the wine, Du Yan still felt a burning sensation that was like falling like a stone. When he took the last sip, he immediately sat down and waved his hands. But all I could do was listen to Director Dong shaking his head and nagging: "This Xiao Du, he's a good guy in every way, but his drinking capacity is too bad, not enough for a man." "Old Dong, Xiao Du really drank too much," said Tu Xiangdong, who was sitting next to him. He tried to smooth things over for Du Yan, and then he gestured to Hu Xuecong, who was already waiting aside, "Xue Cong, help Director Du to take a rest." Hu Xuecong raised his hand to help, but at this time, although Du Yan was already a little The drunkenness was rising, but he was still sober. He apologized to the people at the table and walked out with the help of Hu Xuecong. When he passed by the county committee office table, suddenly, the chair was pulled open with a clatter, and Old Yu, his face flushed and smelling of alcohol, suddenly stood in front of him! "Du, Director Du, can you please listen to what I have to say?" Old Yu spoke slurringly and swaying. He was holding a half-full wine glass in his hand, but because of his shaking body, the contents of the glass were Most of the wine spilled out, not only on himself, but also on Du Yan's chest. "Director Yu, you have drunk too much." Hu Xuecong whispered, intentionally or unintentionally, he stood between the two of them, and at the same time quickly winked at the dazed county party committee cadres beside him, "Hurry and help Director Yu to take a rest. "Who said I drank too much!" Old Yu shouted, which instantly attracted the attention of the entire cafeteria, and he seemed to be completely prepared for this shout. He pushed away the two cadres who were trying to help him. Du Yan said loudly, "Director Du, I know you hate me because of what happened in the past! I also know that I won't be a deputy director for much longer, so let's talk it out now!" "Lao Yu, you drank too much. Come and have a rest next to him. Why are you so drunk?" Tu Xiangdong stood up and scolded Lao Yu with a gloomy face. "Come over and help him go and have a rest first." "Don't touch me!" Lao Yu suddenly shouted. The shout was so loud that the young girl who was very close to him was so frightened that she screamed! This stimulated Lao Yu again. He turned his head and looked at the girl, and suddenly pointed at her and laughed "hehehe": "Xiaoliu, why are you pretending to have never seen the world? Who doesn't know?" As for your matter, our county committee office has never had people like you before. Didn't Xue Xuefen just sleep with the leader? " "Shut up, Lao Yu!"The young man next to the girl suddenly turned red. He rushed over and raised his hand to punch Old Yu on his red face. As Old Yu fell backward, a cadre behind him was hit by him. Lying on the wine table, the wine and vegetables splashed all of a sudden, it was such a joy! "Stop it!" A dull but majestic scolding sounded from the main table. People couldn't help but look back and saw Li Peizheng looking here with a downcast expression. Feng Hao next to him seemed not to have seen this scene. While Guo Songlin was sipping from his wine glass, he remained silent as if the farce that was happening had nothing to do with him. "Two people will help him out to sober up. If he drinks too much, he will rest." Li Peizheng's voice was low. Although he just glanced at Lao Yu and turned to talk to Feng Hao, people around him knew that Lao Yu was The deputy director of the county party committee office may be as he said, and he may have finished his work. This made some people feel alive for a moment. Looking at Old Yu who seemed to have become more awake after being frightened by Li Peizheng's roar, people's eyes gradually became cold. Du Yan didn't speak from the beginning to the end. He just watched the scene in front of him silently. Lao Yu suddenly jumped out, which was a bit unexpected. But what really caught his attention was the last words Lao Yu said. He looked at the man who covered his face and tightened his grip. Du Yan, who was leaning on a girl who couldn't help but cry in the arms of a female cadre, frowned slightly as she was drunk. It seems that returning to Pingling this time may not be as simple as he thought before. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Going Home Lao Yu's sudden banquet made Pingling's cadres very embarrassed. After thinking about having something to eat, Feng Hao stood up and said that he had a meeting in the city in the afternoon, so he wanted to see if he could do this first. Of course, Li Peizheng agreed. Lao Yu¡¯s behavior really made everyone in the Pingling Standing Committee team feel uncomfortable. Even Guo Songlin looked at Lao Yu with a gloomy look when he was being helped away. After all, the flaws in the Pingling team's control over the cadres below were the problem of the entire team in the eyes of Feng Hao, the leader of the municipal party committee. , especially Lao Yu¡¯s performance as deputy director of the county party committee office, it is easy for the municipal party committee leaders to doubt the quality of Pingling cadres. ????????????????????? If it is related to the internal conflicts within the Pingling team and the municipal party committee leaders think that Lao Yu¡¯s actions today are someone who instigated and took the opportunity to cause trouble, then it would be too passive. Others were even more cautious at this time. When they saw Li Peizheng accompanying Feng Hao from the table, the cadres had already stood up. Amidst a burst of applause hinted by Du Xiangdong, Feng Hao casually said a few words of encouragement to the Pingling cadres. , and Li Peizheng walked out of the county party committee canteen. Although Lao Yu lost his composure at the wine table, his previous work was still in place. Feng Hao had just walked out of the cafeteria when a person in charge of the county party committee guest house came over and was waiting. Accompanied by Li Peizheng, Feng Hao went to the table and was waiting for him. car. The county party committee guest house is not far from the county party committee compound. Within a few minutes, the car stopped in front of a relatively quiet two-story building. When he was about to accompany Feng Hao out of the car, Feng Hao suddenly turned around and faced Li Peizheng, who was sitting next to him. He said something that made Li Peizheng think about it on the way back: "Old Li, Pingling's team is still very reasonable." Feng Hao left Pingling when he went to work in the afternoon, and all the members of the County Committee Standing Committee went to the County Committee Courtyard to give him Farewell, this time Du Yan stood at the end of the ten members of the Standing Committee, including himself. When it was his turn to shake hands, Feng Hao said lightly: "In the future, the development of the new district must be accelerated, and we must obey the arrangements of the county committee and county government. "Thank you for your instructions, Minister Feng. I will definitely follow your instructions in my future work." Du Yan had a smile on his face, but his eyes were light. He knew that Feng Hao was secretly giving him a nod. According to his previous work. According to the news, although Feng Hao is not a close friend of Mayor Ren Shuqiang, at least the two of them are relatively close. This is also something that makes Cui Jianbin, Secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, quite annoyed. One of the two iron arms of personnel, financial and power is not very good. Listen to yourself, which of course makes Cui Jianbin very angry, but Feng Hao's background is not weak, but Cui Jianbin has nothing to do with him. Watching Santana drive out of the county party committee compound and disappear on the road in the distance, several people standing in the yard slowly turned around. Guo Songlin raised his legs and walked towards the office building without saying anything. Next to him, Organization Minister Liao Kun, Propaganda Minister Lao Xu, County Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Huang Guozhi and Executive Deputy County Magistrate Geng Zhen also followed him into the office building. Seeing Guo Songlin leaving without even saying hello, Guo Songling did not show any dissatisfaction. He just looked at the backs of those people for a while, then turned back to Du Yan and said, "Xiao Du, you just came back too, and you came back at noon." After drinking so much, let¡¯s take a half-day off in the afternoon and go home to rest. As for your house in the county committee yard, someone will give you the key later. What do you think?¡± ¡°Secretary Li, I will do that. Let's go back and make some arrangements first. To be honest, I haven't had time to go home yet." Du Yan laughed. He knew that he didn't need to look too cool in front of Li Peizheng, and in the eyes of others, he was Li Peizheng's hardcore friend. , there is no need to express anything deliberately. "As for the house, let's put it away first. I am going to Daqing Township tomorrow. I haven't been back for almost a year, so I am worried." "There is work to be done, and life must be paid attention to. ," Li Peizheng waved his hand. "The house will be arranged for you. You will also have a place to rest alone and read documents when you come back. There will definitely be a lot of people talking to you about work. As for Daqing Township, it is not good to disturb the family. I'm not in a hurry for a day or two. How about you come to the county committee tomorrow? You came here in a bit of a hurry, and the office is not well decorated. I asked Xiangdong to find someone to tidy up the office for you in the afternoon. The arrangements have been made here. You I¡¯ll go back to Daqing Township the day after tomorrow.¡± After hearing what Li Peizheng said, Du Yan stopped talking. Once you reach a higher level, you will enjoy corresponding treatment. This is already a rule in the domestic officialdom. If you are too independent, it is not a noble thing but a noble one. Express yourself and deliberately make things difficult for others. After Li Peizheng finished speaking, he told Du Yan to go home and rest. Then he turned and walked towards the office building. Tu Xiangdong also said hello and followed behind. The old director left early because of some matters with the Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces. In the yard Only Du Yan and Ding Bingxian, who had not spoken much today, were left. Ding Bingxian walked over with his hands behind his back. He didn't say anything and just walked slowly side by side with Du Yan in the yard. It wasn't until he reached the door of the county party committee compound that he stopped and said calmly: "Xiao Du, you did a little bit today. It's over." After hearing Ding Bingxian say this, Du Yan said:With a smile, he knew that Ding Bingxian's words were referring to his high-profile toast to Wang Lianyi at the banquet and his subsequent deliberate neglect of Lao Yu. In the eyes of others, what Du Yan did was undoubtedly a show of force for some people to see. It was quite a bit like drawing a line on the first day and asking people to stand in line. This kind of behavior is actually not rational. But thinking about it afterwards, I have to admit that with Du Yan's originally young and energetic age and the things he had experienced before, if he appeared to be too mature and calm, some people would be wary of him. On the contrary, his straightforward behavior seemed quite upright, and his high-profile toast to Wang Lianyi could be said to have praised Wang Lianyi in front of all the county officials, and also set a very conspicuous benchmark for others to seek refuge with him in the future. . ¡°At least for some young cadres, Wang Lianyi¡¯s example tells them: Follow Director Du and you will have a chance to be successful! The long-term ups and downs in the officialdom, and the years of quiet self-cultivation after setbacks, have made Ding Bingxian see through many things. His work seems to have no edges, but in fact, it has long been like an antelope hanging its horns, and there is no trace. Now he was directly pointing out the pros and cons of Du Yan's actions. Others would never do this, but he just said it, and he was very sure that Du Yan would not have any grudges because of this. Of course, if Du Yan really had something in mind just because of his words, Ding Bingxian would have found out the depth of Du Yan, and naturally it would be over. "Secretary Ding, I have no choice but to do this," Du Yan said with a wry smile. "When I came back this time, I saw a glorious return home in fine clothes, but behind this scenery were thousands of dangerous peaks. If anything went wrong, I would end up in disgrace." "Ding Bingxian nodded slowly and said: "It's good that you can see this clearly. Young people are prone to be frivolous when they are high-spirited. You are very good, very good." "Uncle Ding, I will go to your place for a meal by the way. I've been hanging out with Hongwei, but I haven't seen him for a while." Du Yan changed his name. He didn't meet Ding Hongwei the first few times when he rushed home, but when he asked about it, this guy didn't know what to say, and finally said. After moving Ding Bingxian, he asked him to suspend his job at the county cultural center without pay, and then took the tens of thousands of dollars Ding Bingxian gave him plus some of his own savings to go to the south to do business. "Forget it at night, I'm not in a hurry for the rest of the day," Ding Bingxian said with a smile on his face. "Let's go home first. A few days ago, Hongwei went to your house to pay New Year's greetings. When he came back, he said that your family was really anxious. Saying this I don¡¯t know where you have been during the Chinese New Year, and I am worried that something will happen to you.¡± Du Yan nodded, knowing that his family must be very anxious during this time. Because they had to write articles about the debate, especially because some of the articles involved the spirit of the Southern Tour speech, in order to keep it secret, not only could the entire writing team not leave the small building behind the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, but they were also prohibited from making phone calls outside. Although he contacted his family immediately after he came out, he could not explain clearly for many reasons. Then he immediately threw himself into the preparation of the article about the promotion of young cadres. When everything finally came to fruition, not only did he pass year, and it has already passed the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Now, in fact, his heart had already flown home. After hearing what Ding Bingxian said, he no longer tried to hide it. After saying hello, he walked out of the county party committee gate. Hu Xuecong had been waiting in a brand-new Santana on the roadside outside the county party committee compound for a long time. The township cadres in the three towns and new areas had been sent back after the banquet. Now only Hu Xuecong was left in the county, and Shi Changgeng was with him because of the New Year. His wife returned to her hometown out of town. Not only did she not catch up with the new director to take up his duties, she may not even know that the new director is actually Du Yan, who was dismissed from his post. Seeing Du Yan and Ding Bing come out first, Hu Xuecong got out of the car and stood next to the car door. After watching the two people finish talking and Du Yan came over, Hu Xuecong reached out and opened the car door. Looking at the almost brand new Santana Du Yan frowned slightly. Hu Xuecong, who noticed Du Yan's expression, whispered: "I just bought this after Director Liu approved the note a few years ago. It is for use when investors or business leaders come. It is not used in the district at ordinary times." At this point he jokingly said, "Director, you should sit down on the first day you come back. From now on, you will have to sit in our old jeep." Hearing what Hu Xuecong said, Du Yan didn't say anything, just thought he was sitting in In the back seat of Santana, smelling the strong plastic smell in the car, he suddenly smiled. Hu Xuecong had always paid attention to Du Yan's expression. Du Yan's behavior at the banquet had already made him feel that the director who had returned to take charge of the new district was not easy to serve. He didn't know why Du Yan was laughing for no reason. Seeing that Du Yan didn't say anything , and whispered to the driver to drive. ¡°Du Yan laughed because he thought of Liu Jiahui, who left years ago. At the height of the debate, in addition to the theory that the war is ragingIn the political world, the officialdom of the country was completely silent at that time. While countless people were paying close attention to this major debate about the direction of the country, they were also secretly anxious about which path they should take. Especially when questions such as "the surname of the capital and the surname of the society" and "whether we still need the party's leadership" are raised, which are no less powerful than the atomic bomb, the conservatives take advantage of the commanding heights of principles and sweep forward with overwhelming force. It makes many people feel inexplicable fear! Many places are beginning to waver. Even a southern province known for its openness to the beachhead issued a document on the ¡°Provincial Plan and Guidelines for Strengthening the Economic Sector¡± in January just after the Chinese New Year. Some overseas investors in the Mainland can't help but have serious concerns. Not only have some projects under negotiation been shelved, but some of the investment projects that have already been launched or are in operation are also considering whether to divest. It was at this time that Liu Jiahui left the new district and Pingling in the name of medical treatment. It was certainly his own intention, but it should also be the instruction of his father, Liu Ding, deputy director of the Organization Department of the Hexi Provincial Committee. ¡°For cadres like Liu Jiahui, who had come here purely for gilding in the early days, the position of director of the new district is a typical phoenix flying in, an unexpected gain. Being able to have such a good addition to your future resume is certainly the icing on the cake. If there is any trouble and you see that the situation is not going well and you leave early, there is no big loss. It¡¯s just that Liu Jiahui spent so much money to buy this car, but it was cheaper for Du Yan before he could enjoy it. This made Du Yan not only feel funny, but also a little sad about the impermanence of the world. At this time, Liu Jiahui should be filled with regret, but life is like this, there may be many opportunities, but there are only few that can be truly grasped. Moreover, Du Yan doesn't believe that Liu Jiahui can really improve the economy of the new district. Maybe Liu Jiahui in the officialdom is very successful because of his family background, but when it comes to local construction and helping everyone get rid of poverty and become rich, Du Yan really can't even look at it. Take a look at Mr. Liu. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? "What's going on?" Hu Xuecong asked the driver next to him in a low voice. The driver was borrowed from the Daqing Township Winery. He traveled to the county town all year round, so he knew a lot of things. Hu Xuecong turned around and saw Du Yan rubbing his forehead with his hands. Although the noisy group of people on the road ahead had nothing to do with him, it was the first time he accompanied his leader in a car and encountered such a thing. Hu Xuecong felt a little annoyed. "What else can we do, workers of the old heavy machinery factory?" The driver raised his hand and honked the horn, but the crowd on the road showed no intention of avoiding it. "These workers of the old heavy machinery factory were so proud before, but now they are in despair. , Thirty years have really changed." The driver said and honked the horn twice, as if to support his two mocking words, but the sharp horn made Du Yan's head hurt even more. some. "A worker at the old heavy machinery factory?" Du Yan looked forward through the windshield from the back seat. On the street outside, a group of people were making noisy noises around a house facing the street. Several people who looked like leaders were leading and shouting something while seeming to be persuading and organizing the obviously agitated people around them. , to prevent them from taking excessive actions. Du Yan rolled down the window, and with the cold wind he immediately heard a burst of irregular but powerful shouting: "Oppose disguised expulsion!" "Oppose private sale of public property!" "Heavy Machinery Factory belongs to us, we want to "We want our own home! Get out of Pingling!" Those people were obviously very excited. The noisy crowd not only blocked the road, but also attracted more people to watch. They were all blocked tightly. The workers at the heavy machinery factory seemed to be quite calm. Although they were very agitated, they did not act excessively. Du Yan didn't know why these people gathered in front of the house. Because the crowd gathered, he couldn't see clearly the looming block at the door of the house. What unit name is written on the brand? Hu Xuecong saw in the rearview mirror that Du Yan looked a little gloomy. Then he saw the driver was impatient and tried to honk the horn again, so he gestured to stop him. Maybe it was because Du Yan was too young and looked a little longer than his actual age. With a smaller face, even the cautious Hu Xuecong would sometimes overlook his identity. But now looking at Du Yan with a downcast face, Hu Xuecong suddenly realized that the person sitting behind him was not an ordinary young man, nor was he just the director of the new district, but a member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee. "How long have the workers of the old heavy machinery factory been making trouble?" Du Yan asked. "I don't know, Director Du, these people who used to have an iron rice bowl are now making trouble when their jobs are smashed. You don't know how crazy they used to be. Not to mention those in the town, it's the county seat."They all look down on people," the driver curled his lips, "I used to have a relative who worked in an old heavy machinery factory. Open your mouth and shut up and say that you are a national worker, shit! Aren't you still looking for a job all over the world? " "Old Xue, it's useless to say a few words. Director Du can just ask you and answer your questions. "Hu Xuecong's forehead was a little swollen. He could see a hint of dissatisfaction with the driver from Du Yan's glance. At this time, he was already thinking about where to find a replacement. "Go through the alley next to it. As for Kuan Chao, just walk along the Xiaoqing River after going out. "Du Yan said lightly. He rolled up the window and looked at the workers who had been isolated from the car but could still vaguely hear the shouting. Du Yan leaned on the car seat and looked at the roof of Santana. Except for the sound of cars driving, Santana was completely silent. When the car drove into the alley, it immediately attracted the attention of people living nearby. This was the former employee dormitory area of ??the old heavy machinery factory, although it was later moved in one after another. There are some people from other places, but the vast majority are still workers from the old heavy machinery factory. Because of this, there will not be a car coming into this worker's residential area all year round, let alone such a brand-new car at this time. When Santana, who everyone regarded as a high-end car, finally stopped at the door of Lao Du's house, people who looked over from the street, through the windows, through the courtyard gate, and on the fence started talking in low voices again. The Du family has been the talk of the town for more than a year. First, they had a promising son, and they were really famous for a while, but then something happened soon after they were friends. With all kinds of rumors and people's habit of making irresponsible remarks, the story of Lao Du's family has been spread everywhere. Although it was finally heard that the boy from Lao Du's family was released, the mayor still let him go. And even though some people have seen Du Yan come home, people naturally stay away from him. Secondly, Du Yan has not been home a few times in nearly a year, and no one can tell clearly about this little boy. After a year, some people say that the boy from the Du family has been fired from his job long ago, but the Du family is too proud to admit it, but some people say that the boy from the Du family seems to have climbed up to the top and become rich. , I heard that he works somewhere in the province. In short, all kinds of rumors have not stopped in the past year. Now seeing a brand new car parked in front of Lao Du's house, the curiosity of all the neighbors is aroused. , for a while people from far and near were staring at Santana in the alley. As soon as the car stopped, the door of Du's house opened together with the car door in front. Du Fei jumped out of the yard, wearing a pair of clothes on her upper body. Wearing a sweater knitted by Su Qian and a pair of Shuimolan jeans, she fully revealed the lively aura of a young female college student. She had obviously been waiting for her for a long time. When she heard the sound of the car at the door, she immediately opened the door and rushed out. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a middle-aged man getting out of Santana's passenger seat. Du Fei couldn't help but be startled, but then she was pleasantly surprised to see Du Yan sitting in the back through the car window as Hu Xuecong opened the car door. , Du Yan got out of the car. He originally wanted to open the door himself, but when he saw Hu Xuecong quickly getting out of the car and rushing to open the door for him, he stopped moving. He also understood Hu Xuecong's thoughts and gave way appropriately. The people below can also be reassured by serving you. ¡°Brother! "Du Fei finally burst out with this shout that she couldn't hold back for a long time! She almost jumped up and rushed towards Du Yan. If Du Yan hadn't been prepared to support her immediately, Du Fei would have been able to hold her down with this move. He fell onto the roof of the car behind him! "Brother, you are back!" Why didn't you even make a call for so long? Du Fei couldn't help shouting. "A few years ago, Du Yan only said that he needed to temporarily go to the capital for a few days because of work, but he has been away for two months! During this period, not only did he not receive a letter, but he did not even receive a phone call. This time The Du family and Su Qian were extremely anxious. They found Zhao Xiaoyun to inquire about Du Fei, but apart from being told that it was inconvenient for Du Yan to contact his family due to special reasons, there was no other news. This made the Du family even more worried. She was so worried that Gu Weifen even came to the door again once. Although Gu Weifen didn't make a fuss this time, the implication behind her words was that she felt that Du Yan was too unreliable to disappear without a trace. Su Qian followed her. Don't worry. Although Gu Weifen's words were a bit unpleasant, the Du family had to admit that they were doing it for their daughter's benefit. At this moment, Du Yan's call finally came, and Du Zhenhai came. Fortunately, Du Yan told him on the phone that he was going back to Pingling to work this time, and the date for his return home was set. In the early 1990s, there was no complete procedure for job announcements in party and government agencies. Except for some people who really care about current affairs, few people in a county pay attention to whether there are too many county party committees.?A member of the Standing Committee. So Du Zhenhai¡¯s family is just happy that their son finally has a stable work arrangement, but they still don¡¯t know what Du Yan¡¯s job will be when he comes back this time. Du Fei stood at the door of the courtyard and hugged her brother's arm, but she was not in a hurry to enter the courtyard. She wanted to let the neighbors who talked all day long see whether her brother was expelled as they said. He lost his job, and more importantly, he could hold his brother's arm confidently in front of so many people. In this short moment, Du Fei felt indescribably happy! As for the fact that his brother actually came back in Santana, and even had someone open the car door like a senior cadre in movies and TV shows, Du Fei felt even more indescribable pride. Looking at Du Fei, whose face was full of joy, Du Yan naturally understood the little girl's thoughts. He didn't rush him and just let Du Fei deliberately pull him to stand at the door of the yard, showing off to those who were watching the fun around him, until he got cold. Unable to help but sneeze, Du Yancai smiled and patted Du Fei on the head, while greeting Hu Xuecong to enter the hospital. "Director, I won't disturb your family gathering. I'll go back and make some preparations first. I'll come back tomorrow morning." Hu Xuecong didn't enter the yard. He was telling the truth. There were some things he needed to arrange urgently, such as finding a suitable spot. The driver Du Yan didn't give in anymore. He said a few more words and watched Hu Xuecong get in the car and leave. Du Yan pulled Du Fei, who was only trembling after the excitement, into the door of his courtyard. Then, he saw Su Qian, who was already standing in the yard waiting for him quietly. Under the pear tree with branches covered with snow, Su Qian, wearing a beige plush coat, had a mixture of expectation, sweetness, and a faint shy smile on her face. Her lips were red due to the cold weather and her fair skin. The contrast was brighter, and the figure that had begun to take on the charm of a young woman looked plumper and fuller. When Du Yan walked up to her, Su Qian stretched out her hand and pulled his open collar. "Did you drink at noon? Don't pay attention. What should I do if I catch a cold?" Listening to Su Qian's plain but caring complaints, the love in Du Yan's heart that reunited after a long separation became even stronger. He ignored Su Qian's secret After struggling, she took the hand that was fixing his collar and gently brought it to his lips and kissed her hard. "Let go, Xiao Fei has seen it." Su Qian could only whisper shyly, but seeing the love in Du Yan's eyes, she was reluctant to pull her hand back for a moment. "It's up to you," Du Fei walked past the two of them helplessly, but then she turned back reluctantly and reminded, "I can tell you, your parents are watching in the room." Du Fei's words made Su Qian Suddenly her face turned red, she withdrew her hands and covered her face, turned around and ran into Du Yan's house. "One day when you have a boyfriend, I will destroy you too." Du Yan glared at his sister, then helplessly stretched out his hand and pulled Du Fei towards the main room. After entering the main room, he saw Du Zhenhai and his wife waiting for them. Du Yan's throat twitched slightly, and he felt excited. All the ups and downs in the past years finally turned into a simple and emotional sentence: "Mom, Dad, I'm home." ¡± Volume 4 "Volume 3: The officialdom is sailing" Chapter 3 Chapter 3: Dividing and reuniting official affairs On an early spring morning, there was still a deep chill in the air. Du Yan woke up to the sound of his mother cleaning the yard. When he opened his eyes and saw the familiar roof above his head, and then listened to the sound of a broom sweeping snow outside, Du Yan felt as if he had returned to the days when he was a teenager in school. At those times, Sang Shulan would get up early every day to clean the yard, no matter winter or summer, and Du Yan would always wake up at this time. It was still dark outside, and Du Yan was in no hurry to get up. He had to think about something first. Yesterday, after the family had a good meal, Du Yan talked with his parents for a long time. When they heard that Du Yan had not only reunited with the new district and served as director, but also actually joined the county party committee standing committee, both Du Zhenhai and his wife and Su Qian were filled with disbelief. A member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee who is less than 25 years old at the deputy division level, this is too scary. If the people who sent Du Yan home during the day were not so respectful, they would not even believe that what Du Yan said was true. Of course, Du Yan would not tell them. Although his current progress was indeed a bit beyond the norm, it was not surprising for those second- and third-generation reds with strong backgrounds. After all, in the thinking of Du Zhenhai's generation, they do not believe or are unwilling to believe in the reality that the power that should belong to the people can be hereditary by a few people. However, after getting excited, Du Zhenhai once again reminded his son that this official must be down-to-earth and worthy of his conscience, while Sang Shulan stood by and asked his son intentionally or unintentionally when he planned to take care of his own affairs. This made Su Qian sitting next to her blush and lower her head, but Du Fei kept his head down and just kept picking up the food and putting it in his mouth. Du Yan thought about it for a while. He knew that his mother liked Su Qian very much, so naturally he hoped that he could get married as soon as possible. But now that he has just come back, although he is familiar with the new area, the environment has changed due to the different location. Before the situation has opened up, he does not have that much energy to take care of such a big event as getting married. So he said that he wanted to let things go as soon as he came back. Sang Shulan was a little anxious, but she also knew that her son came back to take office this time. He had offended some people's jealousy. It would not be good if he was too anxious to get married. After the meal, he finally helped his family clear the table and dishes. Du Yan took Su Qian to his room. Although Su Qian was very embarrassed, she went with him. Du Fei originally wanted to follow him. However, with a scolding from Sang Shulan, she grabbed the trendy princess braid from behind and pulled her back. Su Qian left very late. Although her family members did not dare to be too presumptuous, the feeling of being cautious and depressed gave the two people who had reunited after a long separation an inexplicable excitement. Even when Su Qian saw her when she left, Du Fei, who happened to come out of the house, couldn't help but feel hot. Thinking of the scene the night before, Du Yan couldn't help but smile, but when he thought of the situation he was about to face, he couldn't help but think deeply about it. In the eyes of many people, Du Yan's return is good news for both him and Li Peizheng. With his entry into the county standing committee, Li Peizheng's control of the county committee will reach a new height, although it cannot be said that Pingling will be the leader from now on. Li Peizheng has the final say, but that's about it. ¡°But Du Yan knew that things would not be that simple. Not to mention that Guo Songlin still had several iron votes in the Standing Committee, and even the city would not be willing to see a one-spoken situation in Pingling. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that when I was appointed as the director of the new district, I was unexpectedly appointed as a member of the county committee standing committee by the city. The purpose of all this is to balance. Thinking of these things, Du Yan could no longer lie down and stood up to put on his clothes. When he opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew in, clearing his mind even more. Including him, there are now ten standing committee members of the Pingling County Party Committee. This is obviously not in compliance with the organizational regulations. So should one person be transferred or add more? It seems unlikely that they will be transferred. It is not that there are no spare seats in the city or other districts and counties during the election year, so there will be more seats. Who will it be? Seeing her son standing in a daze at the door, Sang Shulan was about to scream but then stopped. She thought that her son was thinking about big things, and it was not good to interrupt his train of thought at this time. Du Yan did not wait for Hu Xuecong. With the current road conditions, it would take an hour to drive from Daqing to the county seat. Hu Xuecong should not have arrived too early. After washing, he said hello to his mother and asked because he didn't see his father. , only to find out that Du Zhenhai had left the house early, and Sang Shulan didn't know where he had gone. As soon as he left home, he saw a Santana parked in the alley not far from his house. Du Yan was slightly surprised when he saw Hu Xuecong getting out of the car. After getting in the car, Du Yan was stunned again when he saw a strange young man in the driver's seat, and then nodded to Hu Xuecong. Hu Xuecong just let it goWorry, after he went back yesterday, he looked for someone overnight. The previous driver was also temporarily seconded from the winery. It was not difficult to send him away. However, this new driver was also temporary. He had to find a permanent driver immediately. The driver was a little embarrassed for Hu Xuecong. Now is the rush hour for work. Although Pingling is not comparable to a county town or a big city, because Taihua¡¯s two large state-owned enterprises, Lao Heavy Machinery Factory and 307 Factory, are both in Pingling, the number of workers in these two factories There were thousands of people, so the streets seemed very crowded at this time. Because I had been warned by Hu Xuecong in advance, even though the car could only move forward slowly at times, the driver did not honk indiscriminately. Looking at Du Yan, he took out a document from his bag and read it without hesitation. After getting up, Hu Xuecong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What Du Yan was looking at was a contract that Su Qian brought to him yesterday. He should have read these things at home yesterday, but firstly, it was already too late to eat and talk with his parents, and secondly, after returning to his room Du Yan had no intention of reading the contract at all, and Su Qian was not much better. Although she discussed the terms of the contract with him seriously at first, as Du Yan used both his hands and mouth to climb up the mountain, she Su Qian's body became warmer and softer. Later, as Du Yan's hand slid down her smooth belly into her underwear, Su Qian no longer wanted to read the contract. After sending Su Qian away, Du Yan felt drunk and sleepy at the same time. It became much more difficult to read the contents of the contract, and talking about the contract really gave him a headache. Qiao Luowei, who listened to his advice and invested in the Donghai stock market years ago, somehow got in touch with Su Qian, and heard that Su Qian majored in finance, so he invited Su Qian to work in his company. Su Qian was a little hesitant. She could vaguely guess that Qiao Luowei's background was not simple, and she had helped Du Yan. It would be good to follow her, but after all, this was related to her future, and she wanted to have a good relationship with Du Yan. discuss. "I don't know if she really took a fancy to Su Qian's financial ability, or there were other reasons. Although Su Qian had not replied yet, Qiao Luowei had already had someone send her an employment contract. Judging from the terms of this contract, even Du Yan couldn't find any reason to refuse such a job with such a generous salary. He only said that he would get 1% of the company's shares. Du Yan felt that Qiao Luowei was simply doing this. It's just giving money away. What was Qiao Luowei's motive for approaching Su Qian? This thought flashed through Du Yan's mind. Du Yan had heard too much about the so-called madam route, secretary route, and other ways to unclog officials. It was just that Qiao Luowei There was no need to approach Su Qian so deliberately. After all, it might be easier to talk to Du Yan directly about something. With this thought in mind, the car had unknowingly stopped on a street not far from the county party committee compound. Hu Xuecong turned around and looked at Du Yan: "Director, do you think you should get off the car here first and walk over?" It's not very noticeable. " Du Yan put down the document and looked at Hu Xuecong. He had to admit that Hu Xuecong was not only smart, but also very good at understanding people's thoughts. Rushing into the city in advance to wait for the leader at home is certainly an attitude. It is also an attitude to be able to take the initiative and remind people on matters related to the leader's image. And it is precisely this attitude issue that most leaders care about. "Lao Hu, you have stayed in the town middle school for more than ten years, so you have gained something." Du Yan did not get out of the car in a hurry. He asked calmly while packing up the documents. Hu Xuecong was stunned. Du Yan suddenly transferred him from the town middle school to the town government. Some people said that this was because there was a problem between Du Yan and Chen Laogan, and they deliberately used Hu Xuecong, who was suppressed by Chen Laogan, to Chen Laogan put on eye drops, but Hu Xuecong knew that was not the case. But when Du Yan asked this question, he didn't understand what it meant. Being unable to understand the leader's intention is a taboo. Ten years of silence have made Hu Xuecong much more stable than the passionate young man he was back then. While he was thinking about Du Yan's intention in saying this, he said with a modest smile: "I was young and impulsive at that time. It¡¯s always good to practice a little bit, which is why Secretary Chen cares about me.¡± Du Yan nodded without saying anything. He opened the door and got out of the car. When he walked to the driver¡¯s door, he looked down slightly and shook his head. Hu Xuecong at the car window: "Xue Cong, it is a reward to be calm and steady, but I hope that these ten years have not worn away your spirit. If so, I will really disappoint Secretary Chen. So, you go back tonight. There¡¯s no need to pick me up. Come pick me up tomorrow morning.¡± After saying that, he walked across the road towards the county committee compound in front, leaving only Hu Xuecong in the car behind looking at his back thoughtfully. As soon as he walked into the county party committee compound, Du Yan felt a slightly strange atmosphere. Although some cadres who walked into the compound with him had respectful expressions on their faces when they saw him, there was a hint of fear in them. He walked into the county party committee office.When he saw Tu Xiangdong standing in the hall with his hands behind his back and staring at the work regulations on the wall, Du Yan knew that he was waiting for him. Otherwise, what would a dignified member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and the director of the County Party Committee Office have to do? Work charter. "Director Tu, you're here quite early," Du Yan walked over and said hello, "Are you reviewing the past and learning something new?" "Sometimes it's a good thing to review the past and learn something new. At least it can remind people to be alert at all times," Tu Xiangdong turned to look at Du Yan, and then said casually Asked "Director Du, if you have nothing to do, how about you come to my place for a while? Secretary Li received a call yesterday and went to the city this morning. He probably won't be back until the afternoon." Du Yan's heart moved. He knew that Tu Xiangdong had He wanted to speak to himself, so he nodded and went upstairs together with Tu Xiangdong. When passing by the door of the county party committee office, through the crack of the door that happened to open and close, he saw on the chair of the deputy director of the county party committee office at the end. empty. Tu Xiangdong's office is still the same as before, simple and regular, completely in line with the layout that a county-level leading cadre's office should have. In the past, every time Du Yan came in, he couldn't help but think: In such a room, even the most individual person, time As you grow older, you will become moderate and sophisticated. And this was one of the things Du Yan couldn't see through about Tu Xiangdong. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of true face Tu Xiangdong had, hidden by these masks composed of rules. "Old Yu sent a note of leave yesterday afternoon, saying that his old habit of having stomach problems after drinking too much had returned. He was going to the city to see a doctor and take some time off. I approved it." Tu Xiangdong picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Seeing that Du Yan had no intention of speaking, he continued, "I will take care of Lao Yu's work for the time being. If he takes too long to see a doctor, we must consider finding someone to replace him." Du Yan frowned secretly. , Lao Yu's previous actions were regarded as self-defeating by many people. The deputy director may have finished his work, so there must be many people eager to try for this position. Although Lao Yu will not be pressed down immediately, there must be many people who find ways to worship the Bodhisattva in advance. It seems that someone has also walked around Tu Xiangdong. As for myself, after all, I just came up, and others know that I should have no say in the Standing Committee for the time being, so I am exempted. ¡°Tu Xiangdong just brought up this topic with himself as soon as he came up. Did he hope that he would support his candidate or at least not oppose it? Du Yan never thought that his relationship with Tu Xiangdong could be compared with that of Li Peizheng or Ding Bingxian. The relationship with Tu Xiangdong is completely a kind of mutual cooperation and mutual utilization, rather than the kind of people who come together because of like-mindedness. So when Tu Xiangdong mentioned the candidate for deputy director, Du Yan knew that he was trying to win his support. "Does Director Tu already have someone selected?" Du Yan asked noncommittally, "I just came back. I have been away for nearly a year, and I don't know many things." "Director Du, you are being humble. Don't say that Pingling is Taihua, so are you. Are you very popular and familiar?" Tu Xiangdong smiled strangely. "For example, Deputy Secretary Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee mentioned you when I called you yesterday, saying that you are not only young and motivated, but also have new ideas and new thinking. You are a very special person. "Young comrade." After hearing this, Du Yan couldn't help but frown secretly. It's not a good thing for a leader to say that a young cadre has new ideas. If he adds the special term, he will be put into another book. , and this Deputy Secretary Zhang is undoubtedly Zhang Tao¡¯s father Zhang Wenliang. Tu Xiangdong told himself what these meant. Was he reminding himself that even if he looked elated, he should not be too proud? Also, he was reminding Li Peizheng not to think that he could compete with Guo Songlin just because he was here. Do you pay attention to him? Du Yan was thinking quickly. Through the water mist rising in the tea cup, he felt that Tu Xiangdong's face seemed to be even more blurry. Coming out of Tu Xiangdong's office, Du Yan walked slowly in the corridor. When he walked outside Ding Bingxian's office, he unexpectedly heard a burst of laughter from Ding Bingxian. This was a bit unexpected for him. In his mind, Ding Bingxian had always been the kind of person with an indifferent personality and a secretive mind. After knocking lightly, Du Yan opened the door. What made him even more strange was that the young girl who was made to cry by Lao Yu yesterday was standing in front of Ding Bingxian's desk, and Ding Bingxian was looking at her and laughing. "Secretary Ding, what are you busy with?" Du Yan said and opened the door casually, although this season is not the time to open the door. "Director Du is here, just in time, you come to enlighten Xiao Liu," Ding Bingxian did not stand up and still sat in the chair. He looked at the girl named Xiao Liu and his smile remained unchanged. "You may not accept what others say, but Director Du has real experience." The two of you are about the same age, but the injustices Director Du suffered are much greater than the little grievance you suffered yesterday." After listening to Ding Bingxian's words, the girl said.He wiped the corners of his eyes, then glanced at Du Yan with some embarrassment, but then said to Ding Bingxian: "Ding, Secretary Ding, how can this be compared? Director Du is a man, and he doesn't care about matters related to reputation. " At this point, she seemed to realize that there was something wrong with her words, and hurriedly explained to Du Yan beside her, "Director Du, I'm not saying you don't care about reputation, I mean you don't care about this kind of reputation, nor" Looking at Du Yan couldn't help but want to laugh at Xiao Liu's anxious look. He also guessed that Xiao Liu came to Ding Bingxian because he couldn't think about what Lao Yu said during the meal yesterday. Seeing how she was at a loss and eager to explain, Du Yan also felt that Lao Yu It was really unreasonable and random nonsense at that time. Now this girl obviously hasn't learned how to please the leader. "Okay Xiaoliu, you go back first. Lao Yu drank too much yesterday. You still don't know what it's like to drink too much? Doesn't your dad just drink when he has nothing to do, but he gets drunk as soon as he drinks?" Du Yan glanced at Xiao Liu. He could tell from Ding Bingxian's words that this girl must have some background. Thinking about it, she was assigned to the county committee office after graduation. She had some background. Xiao Liu also knew that it would be difficult to disturb the leaders if they wanted to talk about work, so he had no choice but to say goodbye and leave. Seeing the door close tightly, the smile on Ding Bingxian's face slowly faded. He raised his hand to signal Du Yan to sit down, and then used his fingers to Tapping on the desktop, there was silence in the office for a moment. "Lao Li went to the city," Ding Bingxian said. "I heard that he was going to attend a meeting on the spirit of the central government's document on strengthening social stability and public security management." "Director Tu and I have already spoken." Du Yan replied, Regarding the spirit of the document that Ding Bingxian mentioned, he actually knows better than many people. After all, the important reason for the central government's resolution was the key speech of the Southern Inspection Elder on combating various social crimes, and the blueprint of this speech was almost that of Du Yan drafted. "It seems that the central government is going to make big moves." Ding Bingxian stopped banging on the table, and then he suddenly said, "Xiao Du, don't wait any longer and go back to the new district today. When Lao Li comes back, I will tell you that there is something over there that needs you to go." Solve it." Du Yan stood up slowly. He opened his mouth to say something, but Ding Bingxian waved his hand to stop him: "There are indeed many things over there in the new district. Liu Jiahui left in a hurry. There are many things for you to worry about. Your main concern is My energy and responsibilities are still in the new district." Du Yan nodded silently, but when he was about to go out, he couldn't help but look back at Ding Bingxian: "Uncle Ding, here in the county" "You don't have to worry," when he saw Du Yan Ding Bingxian showed a hint of worry and just smiled, "Remember Xiao Yan, your journey has just begun. Pingling is not your only goal, so there is no need to waste your energy in this compound. It will be a place where you can have troubles in the future." "Yes." Du Yan nodded silently. He knew that Ding Bingxian was trying to get himself out of the quagmire of the county party committee yard, which was difficult to get in, but even harder to get out. And as Ding Bingxian said, the new district was his responsibility. In addition, the hidden meaning in Ding Bingxian's words is also obvious. No matter what changes there are in Pingling, as long as he holds the new district firmly in his hands, it will be enough to gain a firm foothold in future changes. Watching Du Yan say goodbye and leave, Ding Bingxian pondered for a moment and then picked up the phone on the table. After the other party answered the phone, he said respectfully into the phone: "Old leader, do you have time? I want to report something to you. " After leaving Ding Bingxian's office, Du Yan thought for a while and decided to follow Ding Bingxian's suggestion and rush back to the new district as soon as possible. Although it had only been two days, he already felt that there was a very unstable atmosphere in the county committee. From yesterday¡¯s meal, it can be seen that with his arrival, the ten members of the Standing Committee have been divided into two factions, but in detail, each person has various intricate relationships with others due to various reasons. Of course, Li Peizheng hoped that his arrival would help him reverse his weak position on the Standing Committee, but Tu Xiangdong felt that he would be marginalized in Li Peizheng's faction because of his return. It was precisely because of this that Tu Xiangdong borrowed the opportunity. In the name of proposing a new candidate for deputy director of the county party committee office, he tested his own limits. Ding Bingxian must have seen the problem, so he suggested that he leave the county committee as soon as possible and devote his energy to the construction of the new district. Only in this way can he remain invincible even if there are any changes in the future. Du Yan had a slight headache. He knew that his return this time would obviously change some things, and his relationship with some people would also undergo subtle changes. However, he did not expect that so many things would start to happen on the second day. Next, the new district What would happen there, he didn't know yet. "Director Du, I found you." A familiar-looking man came over saying hello from a distance. After getting closer, Du Yan recognized this man as Lao Ma, who used to work in the second office of the county committee office. Speaking of which, this old man Ma's experience is similar to that of Lao Yu. He is also an old organ who has been in the bottom for many years.He had been living a languid life for a while, but seeing him like this now, Du Yan felt that the county party committee compound might really be the time for spring and wild animals to have fun. "Director Du, I have prepared your house for you. When you are free, come over and have a look. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, I will have it corrected immediately." Lao Ma said with a smile, and I don't know how enthusiastic he was. They would think that Du Yan's house was given to him as a gift. "I'm sorry to trouble you, Lao Ma. Actually, I'm not in a hurry. I still have to be in the new district most of the time." Du Yan said casually. He knew that Lao Ma was just a drunkard and not drunk. Sure enough, Lao Ma then lowered his voice: "Director Du, if you have time tonight, I will treat you to dinner." He glanced at Du Yan and said, "Director Tu is here too. I'll invite the two leaders." Let¡¯s go to Liyuju for a drink.¡± Du Yan looked at Lao Ma¡¯s face, which in his mind was always listless, but now looked full of energy. Now it seems that the one Tu Xiangdong wants to recommend is Lao Ma. No wonder Lao Ma is so energetic. The face iron tree looks like it is blooming for the second spring. "Lao Ma, there's something going on over there in the new district. I won't go there tonight," Du Yan said calmly. Since he has decided to follow Ding Bingxian's advice and temporarily jump out of this quagmire without touching the right and wrong, he must put aside many things as soon as possible. , As for when to intervene again, it depends on the situation. "Let's do this, apologize to Director Tu and me." Lao Ma nodded with a smile on his face. If the leader said there is something, then there must be something. As for Lao Ma's meaning, he has expressed it. Considering the rumored relationship between Director Tu and Director Du in the county party committee compound, Lao Ma feels that he is almost guaranteed to be the deputy director of the county party committee office. Because Hu Xuecong had been sent back to Daqing Township first, Du Yan could only go home to say hello. When he heard that Du Yan was leaving, Sang Shulan immediately hurried to cook for her son. Du Zhenhai had already come back, but because Du Yan Yan hurried out. Although Du Zhenhai seemed to have something to say, in the end he just gave a few instructions and said nothing else. Du Feike was a little unhappy. She wanted to stay with her brother for a while, otherwise she would have gone back to school in the provincial capital early. However, after Du Yan promised to take her to Daqing Township for a while next time, she finally He forced a smile. I called Su Qian's work unit. Unfortunately, Su Qian accompanied the leader downstairs to do a New Year's review. In desperation, Du Yan had to pack his things. At noon, a deputy director of the county post office came and said that it was in accordance with the county party committee's regulations. According to the notice, telephones must be installed in the homes of county party committee leaders. First, let¡¯s take a look at the wiring arrangements and agree on the installation date. This made Du Fei extremely happy. Speaking of which, although there are now private households in the provincial capital that have installed telephones, the initial installation fee of five to six thousand yuan and the high monthly phone bills make it extremely difficult for them to live in the provincial capital. Most families are also discouraged. Du Zhenhai disagreed at first, thinking that this was abusing power for personal gain, but the deputy director explained that this was done in accordance with the official documents issued by the county party committee office, and that it was a serious matter of business, not power for personal gain. Moreover, if the lack of a phone delayed the work, Director Du would also have responsible. After saying this, Du Zhenhai stopped talking. Just looking at the deputy director who was about the same age as himself and had a bald head talking to his son with a smile on his face, Du Zhenhai felt a little unspeakable in his heart. After lunch, Du Yan left home. The transportation from the county seat to Daqing Township has made good progress in the past year. The original two buses out of the city every day have become two buses in the morning and afternoon, and two buses into the city. Although the road conditions are still very bad, at least some of the most difficult roads have been paved. This shows that Pingling still attaches great importance to the new area. However, this kind of attention is still not the kind that satisfies Du Yan, and Du Yan believes that not to mention Pingling, but also the entire Taihua and even Hexi Province, no one can really understand the future of the new district so far. status and the role it should play. In the afternoon, when it was getting dark, Du Yan, who was sitting on the rickety bus, saw Daqing Township faintly in the distance. Looking at the familiar exquisiteness, Du Yan could not help but feel a sense of relief in his heart. ???????????????????????????? At this moment, he inexplicably remembered a familiar line that was very appropriate for the occasion, but felt a bit awkward no matter how much he thought about it: "I, Hu Hansan, am back again." Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Director Du's Soldiers and Generals After getting off the car, Du Yan looked and walked along a newly built roadside. It could be seen that the changes in Daqing Township this year were still very obvious. There were more businesses on the street and people's clothes were also better than before. A year ago, there were more neat and tidy things, especially in front of the bus station, the big green fruit wine advertising sign was very conspicuous, and it seemed to have some momentum. Du Yan walked towards the town committee. Although the new district had been established, as far as he knew, neither Daqing Township nor Pingling had actually fulfilled the true meaning of the name "Three Towns and One Place New Economic Zone". Function, when people refer to the new district, they actually refer to Daqing Township. This can be seen from the fact that after entering the town, we only saw the advertisement of Qingguo Winery, but never saw the introduction of Shuangdui and Liuliji. "Boss, make a fortune." A voice suddenly came from the roadside. Du Yan looked back and saw a short, middle-aged man wearing an old military coat smiling at him. Du Yan didn't know this man. His time in Daqing Township was too short. He didn't know many people in the town, but most people knew him, especially those who often hung out on the street. When this man saw him But he didn't recognize it, which made Du Yan a little strange. ¡°Boss, are you here to buy wine?¡± The man said while touching his pocket, and then took out a crumpled box of local cigarettes. "Let's see, buy wine and other things." Du Yan responded in Mandarin. Looking at what this person meant, he guessed that it was probably those who came to the street to match people who came to do business, but this person obviously didn't know who is he. "Do you want to buy anything else?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. He looked at Du Yan, because he was wearing clothes he bought from the capital before. Although the style seemed a bit old to Du Yan, Du Yan in the countryside of the mainland This outfit was enough to cause a sensation. No wonder this man followed him as soon as he got out of the car. "Boss, are you buying Liuliji ceramic tiles?" "Do you also buy Liuliji ceramic tiles here?" Du Yan asked casually. He was there before. I was surprised that I didn't see any hints about Liuliji on the street. It seems like it's not too bad now. "Of course we're selling it," the middle-aged man chuckled, "Boss, I'm telling you, if you go to Liuliji to buy it, you might suffer a loss. The people there charge a lot of money, so I'll take you there. The place guarantees low prices and affordable goods. " Listening to the middle-aged man talking about this, Du Yan roughly understood what was going on. This man was obviously trying to pull the strings before Liuli Jiren, but it seemed that this man himself. He doesn't have any big capital, and he probably just runs errands for others. After thinking about this, Du Yan felt a little unhappy. In his original vision, Daqing Township, Liuliji or Shuangdui Town were all part of the new economic zone in the future. The future was based on mutual dependence and complementarity and then taking advantage of the overall advantages. Where the new district really plays a role, after all, it is impossible for a small town alone to assume the leverage role of the future cross-provincial economic bridge. But now it seems that things are obviously not optimistic. The disharmony within the three towns can be seen from this businessman, not to mention other more critical cooperation and unified development. "Aren't you afraid that the people at Liuliji will be unhappy with this?" Du Yan asked casually while following the middle-aged man, "The number of tiles I want is quite large. If you get stuck in the middle, I will suffer a loss." "Hey. How can you, boss?" The middle-aged man immediately explained, "Our prices guarantee your satisfaction. You will know when you go to the place. Besides, we are not a private business, we are a serious town government agency." He straightened his back as he spoke, which seemed to tell Du Yan not to treat the village chief as a cadre. "Zhu Laowen, are you making trouble again?" Several people passed by on the street and saw the man standing with Du Yan, so they shouted from a distance. By this time, the sky had darkened, and those people didn't pay much attention to Du Yan. appearance. "You're the one who picks up the skewers, and your mother-in-law is the one who picks up the skewers." The man replied dissatisfiedly, causing the people across the street to burst into laughter. He quickly glanced at Du Yan, seeing that Du Yan didn't seem to understand. He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what the local saying meant. Du Yan smiled secretly. He actually knew that making strings was what some places in the north meant by looking for someone to take advantage of. He was not in a hurry, and the town government agency this person was talking about caught his attention. After all, Daqing Township is a small town. In this place, if someone uses the name of the town government to defraud someone, that is simply asking for death, unless that is what happened. Thinking of this, Du Yan followed the man named Zhu Laowen as he walked along the street. When Zhu Laowen pointed at a house not far away with a wooden sign hanging on the door, he looked carefully at the handwriting on the sign. Du Yan felt really dumbfounded for a moment. "New Economic Zone Economic Steering Group". Looking at this brand, Du Yan felt a little bit amused. He never thought that Zhu Laowen would bring him here in the end."This is the place where the entire new district works. Boss, do you know what the new district is? It is the place where Daqing Liuliji is in charge. By the way, Shuangdui is also in charge of this. Do you think I can lie to you?" Zhu Laowen said with an air of dignity. asked. "Really, all three towns are under this control?" Du Yan glanced at Zhu Laowen with a half-smile, and at the same time he sighed helplessly in his heart. It would be great if that could really happen, but unfortunately it seems that the situation is not good now. Du Yan ignored Zhu Laowang and walked towards the house of the Jingzhi Group with a cloth curtain. Just when he opened the door and didn't have time to lift the curtain, he heard a voice suddenly ringing in the house. An angry familiar voice: "Siyou, what you did is too unreasonable, isn't it?!" "Old Uncle Zhai, why do you think I am unreasonable?" Although Chen Siyou's voice was not popular, it didn't seem to be much better." Uncle Zhai, I know that you and Secretary Mei are good friends and in-laws. Of course you speak to them, but you should also think about us. We are a group of ten or twenty people here. We don¡¯t have the love of our mother or the love of our father. The benefits are only half, I will no longer find a way for everyone to enjoy the northwest wind? " "Then you are going to grab the market? If there is business in Liuliji, you will grab the customers, and you have to be in Daqing. You just grab people as soon as you get off the car. Isn't that unethical?" Lao Zhai's voice was a bit muffled, but it was beyond Du Yan's expectation. In his impression, although Lao Zhai couldn't be beaten with a stick, he was pretty much the same. I didn¡¯t expect that there would be times when I would get angry. "Uncle Zhai, I am stealing customers, but I am not losing money to Liuli Ji. You can ask yourself. The price I give them will continue to pressure them to agree. Besides, we also have people to contribute, and We can't stop them from selling ceramic tiles, so we can only blame the people in Liuliji for not being able to do so, so they don't allow us to eat?" Chen Siyou was really annoyed. When he said this, he seemed to feel the cold wind blowing from the door. , he asked impatiently, "Who is it? The door is not closed, so I'm afraid of hiding my tail." Hearing Chen Siyou's words, Du Yan gently lifted the door curtain, and the bright light in the room made him squint slightly. When he opened his eyes, he saw the stunned expressions on the faces of Chen Siyou and Lao Zhai. "Why, you don't recognize me in less than a year?" Du Yan asked with a smile. "Mayor Du!" The two people shouted almost at the same time, and other town cadres in the room who had been watching the quarrel between the two people also immediately came up. However, except for Lao Zhai and Chen Siyou, everyone else shouted respectfully. "Director Du" Du Yan waved his hands to several cadres. After he finished this gesture, he felt that he seemed to be a little pretentious. But seeing those cadres who seemed more respectful, Du Yan couldn't help but feel that maybe there was nothing wrong with it. The changed self has already changed a lot in the eyes of others. Du Yan glanced at Lao Zhai and Chen Siyou who were standing next to him, and saw Zhu Laowen coming from behind and looking at the scene in front of him at a loss. He turned back to the two of them and said, "You haven't eaten yet, today." I just came back and let's go out for a meal." Chen Siyou was very smart. He knew that Du Yan must have heard their quarrel. He wanted to reconcile them, so he said it in front of other people. As Du Yan's direct descendant in Daqing Township, the two of them had a quarrel. I guess Mayor Du must be unhappy. "Then let's go to Xiaoliyuju," Lao Zhai responded quickly, not forgetting to ease the atmosphere with introductions. "It's Liyuju opened by Boss Shen in the county. He runs here and there all year round. Seeing that there were more customers, I simply opened a Little Carp House here to have a place to stay. " Du Yan nodded, and he actually admired Shen Hefu's eyes. In his previous life, Shen Hefu had spotted the business opportunities brought by the relocation of Factory 307 in advance. He mortgaged the entire Liyuju and used a sum of money to buy a large abandoned factory building in the courtyard of Factory 307. At that time, Many people think he is crazy. Those factories are completely inside the factory compound and they don't face the street. Are they waiting for compensation? But who would have known that the transformation of the county town triggered by the relocation of Factory 307 made Shen Hefu's abandoned factories suddenly become a hot commodity. With just this one sum, Shen Hefu made a lot of money. ¡°Then let¡¯s go to Xiaoliyuju to eat and see if it¡¯s different from the Liyuju in the county.¡± Du Yan said this and walked away, leaving only a group of town cadres in the room who immediately started talking. I couldn¡¯t tell the difference between the dishes at Little Carp House and Old Carp House. However, the appearance of a pretty proprietress made Du Yan realize that Old Shen¡¯s purpose in opening Little Carp House was not to drink wine. He knew that the landlady was a widow in the town who opened a canteen with a child. Because of her pretty appearance, there were naturally some rumors, and she was also the target of some young and strong men in the town. But he didn't expect that she would be the one she hadn't seen for a year. Let Shen and Fu hide their love in the restaurant. The landlady already knew Du Yan, and there was also news that Mayor Du was back.It had already spread in the town, so although she was a little surprised when she saw Du Yan, she quickly came up to greet her enthusiastically. Her eyes were very lively and she saw that the faces of Lao Zhai and Chen Siyou behind were not right, so they were leading the guests. After entering the private room, she said a few words casually and left. After coming out, she gave the waiter who delivered the food a few words. Then she thought about it for a moment, looked at the time and estimated that Shen and Fu were still in the hotel, so she walked to the front desk and picked up the phone and dialed. Number. As soon as the proprietress left, the single room became quiet, and Lao Zhai and Chen Siyou both drank tea. After a while, Du Yan slowly spoke: "Tell me, what's going on." "Mayor" Seeing whether Chen Si had the intention to speak, Lao Zhai spoke, but then he I didn't know what to say for a moment, so I just sighed helplessly. "Mayor, it was me who stole Liuliji's business," Chen Siyou said, and as soon as the words came out, he no longer had any scruples. "Mayor, you know how this group came to be. Secretary Shi started from the beginning. You don't have good intentions." "Don't say nonsense," Du Yan interrupted Chen Siyou. When he saw Chen Siyou looking towards him, he was surprised at first and then gradually showed an uneasy look. Du Yan sighed to himself, this is not the case. He is just a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. "Don't talk about things, don't talk about useless things." "Okay, let's talk about things!" Chen Si nodded. Du Yan suddenly returned to the new district this time. What does it mean to him? Chen Si has It is very clear, and he knows better than others, that Du Yan has different expectations for the economic guidance group. "Now everyone in the group is really idle and has nothing to do. They say it is economic guidance, but no one listens, and there is no decent one." The document stipulates that the team should be in charge of that stall, which makes everyone anxious. Director Liu has been here once before, and he is not sure what we should do. Some people want to go back to their original units, but they don't want them, and they can't even celebrate the New Year. The benefits were only half, and everyone figured it out. Since it was the economic guidance group of the new district, it must be related to factories in several towns. We couldn't beg for food, so we just made a business introduction. At least we could earn some New Year dividends from it. " "Dividends during the New Year? Are you paying dividends during the New Year? It's almost the same all year round," Lao Zhai said dullly, "Siyou, everyone knows how hard you are, but you can't do that. Besides, look at it. It depends on who you are looking for. That Zhu Laowen can no longer survive outside. You just came back in the summer and you looked for him. As a result, he was blocked at the edge of the station. If there were customers, he would pull you over. What a mess. "There are no single customers at the market." "Uncle Zhai, I don't like to hear what you are saying," Chen Siyou put his tea on the table. , Besides, can the people in Liuliji do this? Aren¡¯t they just unable to endure this hardship? " "Then what happened to you when you introduced the consignment?" Lao Zhai asked angrily, "The goods originally arrived in Shuangdui, and then they were sent to Shuangdui. It's good if we distribute the goods, but you just do the introduction and distribution and take care of it yourself. Can you still eat it alone?" Chen Siyou was a little annoyed, but the two of them were about to continue arguing. , but was interrupted by the proprietress who knocked on the door with a waiter. Du Yan never spoke. He stopped the two people and silently picked up the green fruit wine on the table, then poured it for them respectively. Looking at the two people who were getting a little uneasy, Du Yan said lightly: "I already know about this. Well, I came back this time to solve this problem. This is definitely not how the Three Towns and One Area Economic Zone is built. I don¡¯t care how it was done in the past, but since I¡¯m here this time, I have to develop it as planned. " Speaking of this, Du Yan glanced at Chen Siyou: "Siyou, I will express my position on your matter today. You can say 50% right or 50% wrong on this matter. Before this, how many of you personally I won't ask if the interests are there." At this point, he raised his hand to stop Chen Siyou who was about to speak. "I won't ask if I don't ask. But from now on, in terms of the role that the Jingzhi Group is going to play, I ask that you must If you can meet my requirements for the group members, you will either leave or the county Commission for Discipline Inspection will talk to you." Chen Siyou couldn't help but turn pale. He didn't expect Du Yan to take his words to this level, and he obviously felt that. Du Yan is now different from when he was the mayor. He feels that there is a pressure in front of Du Yan just like in front of other county party committee leaders. "As for you, Lao Zhai," Du Yan looked at Lao Zhai with amusement, who seemed to be a little fatter than before. "I can see that you have taken good care of yourself during this time. You must be living comfortably every day." "Forget about the mayor. I'm still comfortable, I'm almost suffocated," Lao Zhai smiled bitterly. "A deputy secretary of the town committee office only cares about trivial matters all day long. In the eyes of others, I am just a fool. You are back this time. Why don't you just transfer me back? " "What? You think the deputy secretary of the town committee office is here to ask for an official?" Du Yan smiled lightly. "Speaking of it, I am the new district director. It¡¯s been more than a year and we haven¡¯t really set up a shelf yet, and there are really few people to do things with.No, it's a pity, Lao Zhai, but there really isn't a place for you in this management committee. "Seeing Lao Zhai's face froze when he heard this, Du Yan continued, "Someone said that Shuangdui Town is a Shuanggui Town that will not move for ten thousand years. I came here this time to give this town a try. , so Lao Zhai, you have to stay in Shuangdui for me even if you don¡¯t want to, until you make people forget the nickname Shuanggui Town. " Du Yan's words gradually revealed strange looks in the eyes of the two people sitting on both sides of him. As long as they thought about every word Du Yan said carefully, they would realize that there was something in it that could arouse their associations, whether it was attitude or attitude. He revealed the upcoming major changes to the new district management committee, and also hinted at his views on Shuangdui personnel. The meaning in this made the two people seem to see some hope. "The mayor, Secretary Shi and Secretary Peng. There is something wrong with the relationship." Lao Zhai, who was gradually calming down, suddenly spoke, and pointed out the key to some things as soon as he opened his mouth. It seemed that at this moment he was back to being the director of his town committee office. "After you left, Secretary Peng was I thought I could become the mayor, but I didn¡¯t expect that Mayor Liu would be the one to take over, and he would also serve as the director of the new district. Secretary Peng and Director Liu got close. I heard that at the town committee meeting, several of Secretary Shi¡¯s Director Liu blocked every proposal, and Secretary Peng had a lot of problems. This time Director Liu left, Secretary Peng wanted to be the mayor, but it just seemed like Secretary Shi" Looking at Lao Zhai, he said Du Yan nodded with a meaningful look. He knew that Lao Zhai mentioned this at this time to introduce himself to the recent situation, but he also had the idea of ??self-recommendation. After all, he is now the leader of the county committee. Even if he is still in the county committee, It is impossible to make your own voice, but you can at least make suggestions to other leaders. "Lao Zhai, I will consider everything that needs to be considered," Du Yan said, "You remember, do your own work, especially the most basic ones. The most solid work is not to be frivolous. Once the foundation is laid, we can decide how big the house will be in the future. " Lao Zhai nodded slightly. He is almost forty-five this year. He was confused about whether he could serve as mayor or even secretary of the town committee before going down. Du Yan transferred him from Daqing Township to Shuangdui to take up his duties. After mentioning it, he was naturally very grateful, and now that the chances of Du Yan coming back were getting better and better, he naturally had bigger ideas in his mind. However, although Du Yan didn't say everything clearly before, he But he has been vaguely aware of certain possibilities. Now it seems that Du Yan already had some kind of plan when he transferred him a year ago, but that incident happened halfway, but now it seems that for Mayor Du, that incident A misfortune turned out to be a good thing, and Lao Zhai saw greater hope in Du Yan's promotion. Chen Siyou was also thinking that he was willing to take the initiative to join the economic leadership group that no one was optimistic about. Although Du Yan suddenly left Pingling sadly, he became a tree without roots and water without a source. Although Du Yan had warned him before that he should be able to endure loneliness, there was no hope. Chen Siyou didn't care about that much. He relied on his brains and he was a descendant of the Chen family, so he started to do these actions in the name of the Jingzhi Group, whether it was Liu Jiahui or Shi Changgeng. It's very clear, but no one is willing to take care of these people who were excluded in the first place. Now Du Yan is back. From Du Yan's words, Chen Si has heard the ambition of the young leader, which makes the somewhat self-destructive Chen Si Siyou immediately felt that there was hope again. "Siyou, think about it after you go back," Du Yan said to Chen Siyou, "I just said that you were 50% right and 50% wrong. I meant that although you were stealing business from other towns. No, but it¡¯s good that you have the concept of fully integrating the resources of the three towns and using them uniformly. So, write down all these ideas. Don¡¯t be afraid of being said to be conceited. If you have any ideas, just write them down and send them to me tomorrow morning. Come to a place to live. Same goes for you, Lao Zhai. The idea you mentioned of making Shuangdui a distribution center for the other two towns is indeed a good one. Just write these down and send them to me tomorrow with Siyou. "The two people nodded immediately. Seeing that the food was almost done, the two accompanied Du Yan out of the single room. "Director Du," the boss's wife, who had been paying attention for a long time, came over and smiled when she saw Du Yan was about to pay." Our boss Shen just called to say that he had invited you to have this meal, but I'm sorry that I couldn't catch up with you. He asked me to apologize to you and said he would come over tomorrow and he would definitely treat you to another meal to congratulate you on your promotion. " After hearing what this eloquent little widow said, Du Yan pondered for a moment and then gave up. The one who is incorruptible is not here. After leaving the Little Carp House, Du Yan suddenly thought that he didn't have a place to stay today, and the previous house must be It was long since he returned home, and he didn't want to go to the hotel owned by Peng Jun's family. He turned back to Chen Siyou and wanted him to arrange a place for him at the town committee. Just when he was about to speak but didn't say anything, it was dark. The streets?Suddenly there was a very harsh car horn sound, and as the car lights turned on, Du Yan saw a familiar Mitsubishi Pajero parked on the side of the road, and vaguely, a pretty figure sitting in the driver's seat. Familiar figure. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Brother-in-law The Pajero drove bumpyly on the uneven road. The two strong headlights shook with the body of the car, creating streaks of light and shadow in front of it from time to time. Except for the sound of the car engine, the two people in the car remained silent. After a while, when the car drove out of Daqing Township and onto the empty wild road, Zhao Xiaoyun's eyes were always staring ahead. He didn't even look at Du Yan. Du Yan was a little depressed. After enduring it for a while, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. While Zhao Xiaoyun was concentrating on looking at the road, he quietly raised his hand. "Take off your claws!" Zhao Xiaoyun scolded, and Du Yan was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand. He glanced at Zhao Xiaoyun and saw that her eyes were still staring ahead. After a while, he still couldn't help it. Then he stretched out his hand and touched Zhao Xiaoyun's waist. "My brother wants to talk to you," Zhao Xiaoyun said lightly without looking at Du Yan, but this sentence seemed to be more effective than anything else. Du Yan froze for a moment, and then he honestly retracted his body. There was silence for a while, but this made Zhao Xiaoyun unhappy. "What are you doing? Are you so unwilling to see my brother? Don't forget that if my brother hadn't saved you, you would have been disabled by the Discipline Inspection Commission." "I, don't I feel a little guilty? You said your brother was nice to me, but I feel sorry for him." Du Yan licked his face and looked at Zhao Xiaoyun. Although the light in the car was dim, he still saw it. Zhao Xiaoyun's face turned reddish, and when he looked at Zhao Xiaoyun's jagged figure from the side even though he was wearing a leather jacket, Du Yan put his arms around her waist as soon as his mind became hot. "You're going to die. I'm driving." Zhao Xiaoyun tried to break away in a panic, but because he was holding the steering wheel with both hands, his whole body became defenseless, and Du Yan's hands decisively covered her chest. , Zhao Xiaoyun, who was panicked for a moment, raised his hand on the steering wheel without obeying instructions. Pajero immediately staggered on the road like a drunkard and started to zigzag. Fortunately, there was no traffic on this road. The vehicle, and Du Yan simply stretched out his hand and held the steering wheel to let Pajero drive towards the woods on the roadside. This made Zhao Xiaoyun, who could not take Du Yan seriously due to his ability, suddenly felt a little scared. The swaying Pajero finally stopped. Du Yan turned off the car lights, and the two of them fell into an ambiguous darkness. "Xiaoyun," Du Yan's voice sounded softly in Zhao Xiaoyun's ears, and his slightly warm breath sprayed on her ears and penetrated into the ear holes, making Zhao Xiaoyun's body feel weak. "I miss you very much." Du Yan's words made Zhao Xiaoyun, who was still about to struggle, soften. She leaned her head on Du Yan's shoulder and let out a distressed sigh: "Du Yan, what should we do in the future?" Looking at her face in the moonlight There was a faint layer of light floating above Zhao Xiaoyun. Du Yan's already aroused desire slowly cooled down. He held Zhao Xiaoyun in his arms. The two leaned on the seats and looked at the woods outside under the bright moonlight. . "Xiaoyun, I'm a bastard," Du Yan said softly, "I can't help you or Su Qian if I act too badly sometimes. You are both good girls, but I'm not a good man." "You also know that you are Not a good person?" Zhao Xiaoyun raised his head slightly and glared at Du Yan, but then rested his head on his shoulder. "Sometimes I think that if you really push me, I'll just shoot you and then shoot myself. , all troubles have been solved." "You are really cruel, but can you bear to do this, don't you feel bad?" Du Yan asked slightly teasingly, and at the same time, his hand began to slide along Zhao Xiaoyun's waist dishonestly. , but was immediately grabbed by Zhao Xiaoyun and pressed against his waist again. "There are many people who feel distressed, but it's not my turn yet," Zhao Xiaoyun said sourly and then raised his head and looked at Du Yan's face. Her look made Du Yan a little bit hairy, "I tell you, be honest when you meet my brother. My brother has great eyesight. If he sees something, he might really be able to kill you with one shot. By then, the person who loves you will not be able to save a dead person no matter how capable he is. " "What are you talking about?" Du Yan stretched out his hand and pinched Zhao Xiaoyun's face. "If your brother knew that I became his brother-in-law, he might be quite happy." "Bah, whose brother-in-law are you?" Zhao Xiaoyun raised his hand angrily to hit Du Yan. , but his wrist was grabbed by him. At the same time, her lips were covered by Du Yan's fiery lips, and the towering mountains on her chest were also caught in a pair of clutches. The concealment brought by the darkness allowed the two people to avoid the reality that they dared not face. The two people, who were caught in the excitement of an affair, gradually became confused and infatuated. As Du Yan's hands couldn't help stroking, Zhao Xiaoyun felt that his body was getting worse and worse. It was hot, and her heart became more and more uneasy. She reached out her hands helplessly, tightly grasping the steering wheel and twisting it until her bra was lifted up and brought a chill, and her mind could not help but clear. "Du Yan, stop!" Zhao Xiaoyun roared in a low voice, and at the same time she grabbedThe hand on the steering wheel clasped the back of Du Yan's neck from behind, and the other hand passed under Du Yan's ribs and poked him gently on the lower back! "Ouch," Du Yan let out a low cry of pain. He didn't know what Zhao Xiaoyun's hand was called, but this pain made him suffer enough. As half of his body fell weakly on Zhao Xiaoyun, he was immediately pushed to the ground. On the seat on the other side, "You girl want to murder your husband?" "I'll be clean if I kill you!" Zhao Xiaoyun hurriedly arranged the clothes that were wrinkled by Du Yan, and after taking several deep breaths, She gradually calmed down and looked back at Du Yan, who was still eager to try, but was indeed a little scared. "Next time you dare to touch my body casually, there will be something more powerful than this." "Next time I will let you touch my body. It's okay," Du Yan said feebly. Only then did he feel something. The electric shock-like paralysis just now really frightened him. It seems that this girl must not act too unscrupulously. "We still have to act according to the situation. Come on, your brother is still waiting. " "It's all your fault. Looking at me like this, can't my brother see it?" Zhao Xiaoyun complained angrily. She had no choice but to get out of the car and slowly tidy up her clothes. , while Du Yan sat silently in the car thinking about himself, Zhao Xiaoyun, and Su Qian. After a while, Zhao Xiaoyun got into the car with a normal expression. She first glared at Du Yan with a warning look, and then started the car. The car slowly drove out of the woods and along the road towards Zhao Youxun's residence. Pajero stopped in front of a sentry post far away from the military camp. After repeated inspections, he got back on the road. During this period, Du Yan noticed that Zhao Xiaoyun had turned a switch on the car that looked like a radio button after passing the sentry post, but there was a sound. , which made him feel a little strange at first, and then his heart couldn't help but move. His eyes couldn't help but look towards the seemingly calm and dark woods on the road. After a while, he turned slightly sideways towards Zhao Xiaoyun. "Be honest!" Zhao Xiaoyun's expression rarely became serious. It seemed that she was really angry, and her expression proved Du Yan's thoughts. What Zhao Xiaoyun turned just now was not a radio switch, but it was probably a button of some kind of variable frequency communication equipment. So in addition to the bright posts on the road, there might be hidden whistles carrying this kind of communication equipment in the seemingly peaceful woods. Zhao Xiaoyun just used this equipment to send some kind of pass signal to the secret sentry. This association aroused Du Yan's interest. He knew that since the Gulf War, the domestic military community finally had a new concept of the meaning of modern warfare. "So the war can still be fought like this!" For a time, the whole country and the entire army aroused a call to speed up the pace of military science and technology, and Du Yan knew that if there were secret sentries and equipment outside as he suspected, then Zhao Youxun's troops would It will not be just an ordinary local garrison, and Zhao Youxun, who commands such a unit, will never come from a simple military family as Zhao Xiaoyun said during the previous chat. Still in front of the military camp building, Zhao Youxun, who was already waiting outside, shook hands with Du Yan who got off the car. Maybe it was a psychological effect. Although Du Yan's demeanor was as natural as ever, Zhao Xiaoyun always felt that Du Yan was a little guilty when talking to his brother. Feel. Zhao Youxun had already prepared the meal. Although Du Yan was already full, he had to go to the table and take a proper drink. Fortunately, Zhao Youxun didn't care about this. He was still so serious and serious, and it was obvious that he was very serious even to his sister. He rarely smiled, but when he gradually mentioned some of the military life he had experienced in the past, he showed a hint of emotion. "Captain Song is a real soldier," Zhao Youxun suddenly said during the banquet. His eyes glanced at Du Yan, who showed a hint of doubt, and continued without stopping. "I used to be in Commander Song's army until he died. I have been following him, so I can say that I know his situation very well. " Du Yan realized that Zhao Youxun was talking about Song Jiayi's brother and Qiao Luowei's husband, Song Jialai, but he was a little confused as to why Zhao Youxun suddenly mentioned the Song Jialai. , for Du Yan, except for the photo he saw at Feng Ziming's house, his impression of the Song family was really vague, and he didn't even have much sense of existence. "Captain Song could have returned to the capital. He didn't need to go to the battlefield." Zhao Youxun picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Watching him pour Wuliangye into his mouth like drinking water, Du Yan couldn't help but look at Zhao Xiaoyun with some worry. But when he saw it, he was stunned again. It turned out that Zhao Xiaoyun was also sipping Wuliangye. "Du Yan, do you believe in fate?" Zhao Youxun asked suddenly, but he obviously didn't want to get the answer, so he went on to say, "Sometimes a person's fate is really strange. Some people are born with everything, and some people are born with everything. Excellent but ultimately nothing." Hearing what Zhao Youxun said, Du Yan felt a little strange.?Zhao Youxun was a little drunk, but when he was about to speak, he was suddenly kicked under the table by Zhao Xiaoyun next to him. "Du Yan, there are many things you don't know. It doesn't matter if you don't know. No matter how you do it in the future, it will be a good result." Zhao Youxun leaned back in his chair and looked at Du Yan. "Local and military It¡¯s different. Although the relationship is complicated locally, after all, many things still have boundaries. In the army" Zhao Youxun stopped and did not continue, but picked up the wine bottle and filled it for himself and Du Yan. Then he saw Zhao Xiaoyun's cup. Pass the bottle when it's empty. Looking at this pair of brothers and sisters who had a surprising amount of alcohol and seemed to have their own concerns, Du Yan could only grit his teeth and drink the wine in his hand at the risk of his life. Zhao Youxun was drunk. This seemed to be such a big deal that the soldier who came in to help him out looked at Du Yan a little strangely, as if he must remember this person who could get Captain Zhao drunk. In fact, Zhao Youxun got drunk on his own, but Du Yan didn't know why. He only knew that he stumbled into a room with his feet mixed with garlic. He only vaguely remembered that before falling asleep, he seemed to be holding something soft and warm, kneading and caressing it for a while. It felt really good at the time. When Du Yan woke up in the morning, he was awakened by the sound of loud and neat drills. He rubbed his aching head and sat up. Then he noticed that he was in a room that looked well-equipped. He thought that this place should be Zhao Youxun's unit. A place to receive guests. The bathroom was fully prepared. After Du Yan tidied up, he opened the door and came out. To his surprise, he saw an acquaintance waiting at the door. "Xiao Peng?" Du Yan was stunned at first and then shouted happily, standing at the door of his room like a young soldier like a little leopard. "Mayor Du, oh, Director Du," Sun Xiaopeng stood at attention and saluted, and then said with a smile, "The captain asked me to invite you over." "Oh, let's go then." Although it was a bit strange to call him. He was not Zhao Xiaoyun, but Du Yan didn't care too much. After all, it was inconvenient in many places in the military camp. Besides, if Zhao Youxun was as powerful as Zhao Xiaoyun said, it would be better to avoid it as much as possible. "You come with me." Sun Xiaopeng said and walked out of the building with Du Yan. The strange thing was that he took Du Yan into the car and drove towards the mountains. As the road became more and more difficult to walk, the military off-road vehicle finally Stopped in front of a steep mountain road. The next section of the road left Du Yan breathless. Although he considered himself to be physically strong, he had not walked such a road all year round. When he saw Zhao Youxun, who was wearing a camouflage uniform and holding a shotgun in his hand, he Already panting and sweating profusely. "Xiaoyun left this morning," Zhao Youxun looked at Du Yan who was sweating profusely and said, "I will ask Xiaopeng to take you back to Daqing Township later." After saying this, he looked up and down at Du Yan, who was still panting. He said, "If you were my soldier, if you behave like this, I would let you go back and climb the mountain road again." When Zhao Youxun said this, his face was calm, even slightly indifferent, which was very similar to the way he looked when he was drinking yesterday. "But it's rare for you. After all, you don't have to go through the battlefield." "If you pass the mountain climbing, you are a good soldier?" Du Yan straightened up and looked at Zhao Youxun. He felt that Zhao Youxun seemed to be deliberately looking for trouble today, although he didn't know why. But as long as Zhao Xiaoyun is not around, he is not afraid. "The strength of the U.S. Army is more reflected in their ability to use the weapons they have and control the battlefield. Although individual strength is important, it is no longer an ordinary combination of physical strength. "It seems that you are not convinced," Zhao Youxun looked at Du Yan, "Do you think our army can't compare with the US military?" "It's not a matter of incomparability, but the establishment of the two armies. The purpose is completely different." Du Yan shook his head. He had seen more of these debates that had already filled the Internet in later generations. "The combat capability of the military lies in whether it can adapt to the wars they face, rather than blindly emphasizing its own characteristics. The U.S. military can They can adapt to and control the battlefield by adjusting the steps of their own troops at any time. This is what they are really good at. The other thing is the soldiers' ability to withstand the cruelty of war. This cannot be achieved by simple military training and revolutionary devotional propaganda. "A soldier who has never experienced war is not a real soldier." "I can't tell that you are really knowledgeable. Not only is your writing skills good, but you are also good at military science." Zhao Youxun smiled lightly and handed the shotgun to Du Yan. "Don't just talk without practicing, let's fire a few shots and then talk about it." "Forget it, I'm just talking," Du Yan waved his hand, "Captain Zhao is in a good mood today, why are you out hunting so early?" "I don't feel too good about it. "When I'm happy, I like to go hunting." Zhao Youxun said calmly. He hung the shotgun on his shoulder and gestured to Du Yan, and the two of them walked slowly down the rugged mountain road.Xiaopeng cleverly followed far behind. "Du Yan, do you still remember what I said yesterday?" Zhao Youxun asked suddenly. "You are talking about the topic about fate?" Du Yan was a little surprised. He didn't know why Zhao Youxun was interested in this kind of topic. It seemed that he was not a sentimental person. "I was right next to Captain Song when he died," Zhao Youxun said slowly. He seemed to have returned to a moment that he could not forget at this moment. "Maybe it was fate. At that time, we were ordered to guard a hilltop and wait for reinforcements, but The reinforcements were slow to arrive, so we stayed on the defensive until the entire regiment was almost exhausted before the reinforcements arrived. But Captain Song didn't wait until that time. He had half of his head blown off by a shrapnel while trying to cover me. " Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He knew that Zhao Youxun should have a close relationship with Song Jialai, which could be seen from the relationship between Zhao Xiaoyun and Qiao Luowei, but he didn't expect that Song Jialai was actually Zhao Youxun's savior. But what Zhao Youxun said next made Du Yan even more surprised: "Do you know who is commanding the reinforcements? It's Song Jiayi." Du Yan's mouth opened, and only then did he understand why Song Jiayi always seemed to It was to avoid Qiao Luowei. No matter how selfish Song Jiayi was in this matter, he did owe Qiao Luowei. However, Zhao Youxun seemed to be unwilling to say anything shocking. Just after Du Yan thought he had heard everything that should be heard, he stopped and looked at Du Yan and said calmly: "There is something you don't know, Minister Song." The heir in his mind is not Song Jiayi, but the Song family." Du Yan's heart suddenly tightened! He looked at Zhao Youxun in astonishment, and a cold breath rushed directly from his back to his neck! Du Yan knew that the Minister Song that Zhao Youxun was talking about was Song Zhancheng, Song Jiayi's father, and the proudest son of Mr. Song, the head of the Song family. Song Zhancheng gave birth to Song Jialai when he went to the south, and then returned to Beijing and was ordered to get married and gave birth to Song Jiayi. For some reason, Song Zhancheng thought that the person who would inherit his family's power was not Song Jiayi, who was his direct descendant, but Song Jialai. Song Jialai was killed on the front line due to delays in reinforcements, but it was Song Jialai's half-brother Song Jiayi who was commanding the reinforcements at that time! Du Yan felt that the things he heard were a bit beyond his medical knowledge, and he couldn't help but wonder why Zhao Youxun would tell him, an outsider, such things. As if seeing Du Yan's suspicion, Zhao Youxun suddenly sighed: "Du Yan, I think you are a good person, at least you have the guts to be responsible, but you disappoint me in some aspects, at least you don't have any determination when it comes to women. " Du Yan's face immediately turned pale. He quickly glanced at Zhao Youxun, only to find that Zhao Youxun was looking at him with an angry look. For a moment, his head buzzed, and then he relaxed. He Even though he knew that he and Zhao Xiaoyun were having some trouble, he still let his elder brother find out about it. "Do you think you can get me drunk with that little wine?" Zhao Youxun, who no longer concealed it once he said it, showed anger on his face, "Xiaoyun is my sister, I can't see her like that? Besides, I just left you two. Just, just" I remembered that I became suspicious the day before when I saw that my sister didn't look good. Then I saw my sister carrying Du Yan into the room with half a hug. Although my sister came out quickly, her face was red. With a panic look on his face, it was clear that there was nothing good going on inside. Zhao Youxun clenched his fist and was about to hit Du Yan, but in the end he gritted his teeth and held back, "Tell me, what should I do with my sister?" "I have a daughter. It's a friend." Du Yan shook his head helplessly. In fact, he knew that one day this would happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so suddenly. "I can't possibly be sorry to my girlfriend. As for Xiaoyun, I am still innocent with her, but Captain Zhao I also tell you that I also like Xiaoyun very much. "You also like him very much? Who do you think you are? Do you think you are Song" Zhao Youxun finally refrained from saying it and turned around. He looked elsewhere and ignored Du Yan. After a while, he let out a long breath, "Du Yan, you have to face reality. You are not one of those people who can do whatever you want and no one can control you. At least not now, I can tell you clearly. , if you are in that position now, and Xiaoyun and I are sincere, I can ignore it, but this situation is not good for you or her, not to mention there is" At this point, Zhao Youxun suddenly stopped. , he looked at Du Yan strangely, and after a while he stretched out his hand and pointed at Du Yan with his fingers: "Okay, okay, I'll see how far you can go, but I can tell you, you fool If not, don't think about continuing to associate with Xiaoyun. I can't let my sister follow you without any reason. And you, please remember, if you dare to take advantage of my sister, don't blame me, Zhao Youxun, for turning against me. "After saying that, Zhao Youxunli ignored Du Yan who looked embarrassed and carried the hunter on his back.??Go down the mountain. Looking at Zhao Youxun's back, Du Yan sighed first, and then felt relieved: This test for his uncle is over for the time being. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Fading away and becoming helpless In the Daqing Township Committee, Shi Changgeng smoked with his head sullenly. He just came back from out of town last night. But he never expected that when he came back, he would hear news that he couldn't believe. " Speaking of the position of director of the new district, Shi Changgeng was full of contradictions. When he first said that he would establish a new district, when he wanted to be the party secretary of Daqing Township, he should have been the director of the new district himself. However, it was Du Yan who proposed the idea of ??the new district, and then Liu Jiahui came along. Suddenly A year later, he didn't even get a chance. Years ago, when Liu Jiahui hurriedly left Pingling in the name of medical treatment, Shi Changgeng had a good chance. However, at that time, the position of director of the new district became a hot potato again, and everyone was afraid of avoiding it. Shi Changgeng was also hesitant. Later, when the trouble became so serious, he was even a little afraid that the director's burden would fall on him and he would become Liu Jiahui's replacement, so he found an excuse to accompany his wife back to his hometown and hid far away. But no one expected that this political matter would be sunny in the east and rainy in the west. With the sudden change of the situation, with the speech of the Southern Tour, the domestic situation would change. When Shi Changgeng came back, the director's chair would not only become It's someone else's bag, and it's someone he never expected. When the capital case broke out, only he knew what role Shi Changgeng played in it. Now looking at Du Yan sitting in the middle of the table, Shi Changgeng felt a little indescribably annoyed. He glanced at Peng Jun opposite him, and saw that Peng Jun looked away from him after looking at him. Shi Changgeng cursed secretly in his heart. After Du Yan left, Shi Changgeng and Peng Jun had a short honeymoon period. It passed. Peng Jun was obviously quite worthy of the mayor, but Liu Jiahui jumped out and blocked his way first, and then took on the post of director of the new district. Shi Changgeng also kept trying to control Daqing Township. They deprived others of their power, which aroused Peng Jun's dissatisfaction. Now, although the two people cannot be said to be incompatible, they still have constant conflicts. They no longer have the tacit understanding they had when they worked together to deal with Du Yan. But now that Du Yan suddenly returned as the director of the new district and even as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Shi Changgeng felt unspeakable pressure. After he came back last night, he went to find Peng Jun, but what he didn't understand was, Peng Jun didn't seem to be interested in his overtures. Instead, he seemed quite indifferent, and now he seemed to be ignoring him, which made Shi Changgeng feel a little worried. It was almost noon when Du Yan came over. Although everyone already knew that he was coming, it can be seen that people in the town committee office caused a small sensation when they saw him. Mayor Du, who was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, suddenly became The county party committee leader has become the new district director. No one knows who he will use to perform the flag sacrifice first when he comes back this time, so people have become much more cautious. Du Yan showed a strong attitude as soon as he entered the town committee. He looked at his watch and then announced the meeting. When the propaganda team leader Ma muttered that it was almost lunch time, Du Yan just looked back at him and said: He walked into the office without paying any attention, which made Lao Ma's face heat up. "Comrades, today's meeting is just for a discussion with the comrades from Daqing Township," Du Yan's first words made the faces of several people present have different expressions. "I just had a discussion with a comrade from Daqing Township. What did he mean?" Shi Changgeng's mind was spinning rapidly. When his eyes met with Du Yan's, what he saw was a faint smile. Looking at the expressions of Du Yan and other people, Shi Changgeng suddenly felt that he could no longer be with Du Yan. On an equal footing, although Liu Jiahui was also the director of the new district before, he also had the identity of the mayor of Daqing Township. At least Shi Changgeng could compete with him, but now Du Yan completely looks like he is his subordinate. Maybe in In Du Yan's eyes, he was no longer someone who could be on an equal footing with him. "It has been said for a long time that the new district should be developed, but when I came back this time, I did not see the situation as it should be. Instead, I saw that the three towns were trying to undermine each other for their own small interests," Du Yan's expression followed his words. Becoming serious, his eyes swept over the faces of several people. Even when he saw Shi Changgeng, he didn't stop at all. "Old Hu, please record it. There will be a new district and town-level leadership meeting at 1:30 this afternoon. Everyone who is at home will be invited." Participate on time and you will be notified at noon." "It's the director." Hu Weiping quickly recorded and responded quickly to Du Yan's instructions. Years of training have made him know exactly when to behave and when to restrain. When Director Du takes office and establishes his authority, he must be careful to cooperate. "Comrades, we all know that Daqing Township is the key among the three towns in the new district, so I am here to say hello to you in advance. In the afternoon meeting, I will mainly listen to the development plan of Daqing Township for this year. Secretary Shi, I think this will trouble you. After all, you have been the secretary and mayor for more than a month.?Ah. "Du Yan turned his head slightly and smiled at Shi Changgeng. Shi Changgeng nodded involuntarily and then was stunned. He knew that he had been overwhelmed by Du Yan's momentum subconsciously. After all, Du Yan's identity is now different from before. As the leader of the county party committee, he was no longer on the same level as him. Shi Changgeng looked at Peng Jun again. He found that Peng Jun had been drinking tea silently. When Du Yan called him, he raised his head and answered some questions formally. , but he never looked at him from beginning to end. At this time, Shi Changgeng had almost understood Peng Jun's thoughts. Perhaps Peng Jun had realized the difference in Du Yan's vision and identity after returning from the meeting in the county. So for Peng Jun, instead of joining forces with himself to fight against a county committee member, he might as well just stick to his duties and do his own thing. After all, the mayor's seat is still vacant, and he can't continue to act as an agent for a long time. A good relationship does not necessarily mean there is no hope. Shi Changgeng felt a sense of loss. After he went home yesterday and tossed and turned all night after hearing the news, he did not expect to encounter such a result. He thought hard about what to do. He went to deal with Du Yan who came back strong, but he was no longer taken seriously. Maybe Du Yan was already thinking about how to fight with the big guys in the county committee. Shi Changgeng was thinking this. Although he was depressed, he felt inexplicably relaxed. The stone that had weighed on his heart since hearing the news seemed to have slowly disappeared. Although he knew that Du Yan would definitely establish his authority when he returned, he thought that as long as he was as good as Peng Jun, The meeting was very short. When Du Yan announced that the meeting was adjourned, several people stood up and looked at Du Yan involuntarily. They saw that he did not stand up but was talking to Shi Changgeng and Peng Jun in a low voice. , other talents walked out of the office one after another. This short meeting had already established a format invisibly. People's eyes towards Du Yan had also changed at this time. They understood that Du Yan was no longer on the same level as them. When they were still While fighting for the power of this one-third acre of land in Daqing Township, Du Yan might have seen something further away. After the meeting ended, Du Yan declined the offer given to him by the cadres at noon in the name of having a meeting in the afternoon. Jie Feng's invitation, but he agreed to have dinner with the leaders of the three towns at Xiaoliyuju after the meeting. Peng Jun was smart enough not to propose eating at the restaurant owned by his wife. He knew that Du Yan and that person would come together. Boss Shen in the county seems to have a good relationship, and he also understands that he and Du Yan had a lot of conflicts in the past. Things will be settled gradually, so there is no rush. Du Yan now has his own new district director. Office, Daqing Township has developed quite a lot in the past year. At least the town committee has done some renovations. In addition to the old house, it also built a two-story building next to it. Du Yan estimated that the unfinished office building was also the work of Mr. Liu, but just like the Santana, everyone was taking advantage of him. Du Yan told others that he wanted to take a rest, and then he walked into the office. , looking at the phone records spread out on the table, he stretched out his fingers and slowly crossed the notebook, and then closed the notebook silently. From the time he left the county yesterday to now, the Pingling County Party Committee has only sent Daqing a few phone calls about trivial matters. These are secondary. What is really important is that Li Peizheng, who should have returned from the city yesterday afternoon, never called. Du Yan sat behind his desk, leaning his elbows on the desk and staring at the phone in front of him in silence for a while. The door knocked, and Hu Xuecong walked in. Hu Weiping's son had become much calmer after a year of training in the town committee office. Seeing Du Yan's expression, Hu Xuecong carefully put down the food, and then gently Close the door gently. Du Yan picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites, then slowly put them down. After pondering for a while, he picked up the phone and dialed Ding Bingxian's office in the county. Du Yan knows that Ding Bingxian is very particular about eating. Although he is from Pingling, his taste is relatively bland and he is not used to the food in the cafeteria. Therefore, if he is not having dinner parties, Ding Hongwei's mother cooks for him every day, and he eats I also like silence, so I should be in my office at this time. The phone rang twice before it was connected. Ding Bingxian's always polite voice came from the phone: "Hello, I am Ding Bingxian." "Hello, Secretary Ding, I am Du Yan," Du Yan knew when to say it. Correcting his position, "Do you have time now? I would like to report to you on my work." "At the beginning of taking office, what can I report to you," Ding Bingxian said lightly, his tone sounded slightly ridiculed but also revealed a hint of meaning. Xiao Du, sometimes don¡¯t take things too seriously. One of your strengths is that you are nostalgic, but this strength sometimes turns into a weakness. So if you want to do something big, you have to do it right.??Looking ahead and looking behind is a taboo. "Thank you, Secretary Ding," Du Yan nodded. He knew that Ding Bingxian was reminding him, "I know what I should do." " "Really know? "Ding Bing asked on the phone first, then laughed and continued, "Lao Li went to the city this time to bring back some news. You can ask him yourself later. He should be in his office at this time. " "Okay Secretary Ding, then I will die. Du Yan said something. After a busy signal came from the phone, he dialed a familiar number again. After a few rings, Li Peizheng's deep voice came from the phone: "I'm Li Peizheng, who is this?" " "Secretary Li, I am Du Yan from the new district. Du Yan knew that the phone in Li Peizheng's office should have caller ID. When he heard this question, he answered formally, "Are you free now? I want to report to you about my work." " There was a slight silence on the phone for a while, and then Li Peizheng's unique low voice came over: "Xiao Du, I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry to return to the new district. " Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little sad. He knew that he went back to the new district without waiting for Li Peizheng to come back the next day. This gave Li Peizheng some ideas, but as Ding Bingxian said, Du Yan knew exactly who he was now. Although it is in the name of a county party committee leader, it is actually just a vote in people's minds. Although this vote may not be available to countless people in their lifetime, for Du Yan But that¡¯s not the case. And the muddy water in Pingling is indeed too deep. With his arrival, the division of power has become more complicated. At least from the information Ding Bingxian revealed to him, some people in the city are obviously. I don¡¯t want to see the balance of Pingling being broken. ¡°Secretary Li, the new district has heavy tasks and urgent tasks. We have to catch up on the lost time, otherwise our new district¡¯s previous advantages will be lost,¡± Du Yan replied calmly. As far as I know, Linchi and Qingfeng have also started the construction of their new districts this year. If we fail to seize the opportunity, the development of Pingling will lag behind, which is not a good thing for Taihua. " "What you said makes sense," Li Peizheng's voice was still a little low. "Xiao Du, I heard a piece of news conveyed by relevant leaders in the city yesterday. The municipal party committee may add another standing committee member to Pingling in the near future. Maybe A secretary of the Political and Legal Committee will be nominated. " Listening to Li Peizheng's slightly tired voice, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He knew that Li Peizheng really hoped that he could help him in Pingling, but his idea would do more harm than good to Du Yan now. . Not to mention that as the director of the new district, Du Yan¡¯s main energy is in the construction of the new district. Even judging from the current situation in Pingling, he is not suitable to be involved in a pure political struggle, because as long as he has a little understanding of Du Yan¡¯s transfer. Anyone with background knowledge will know that the people involved here should be of considerable background. If Du Yan shows too much support or opposition to anyone in Pingling, it may not be possible for others to identify him as belonging to some of the above people. Instructions and ideas would involve a wide range of things, which Du Yan absolutely did not want to see. The other key point is that although Li Peizheng wanted to do something for Pingling, neither he nor many others had it in their hearts. They still regard the new district as a tool to demonstrate political achievements, or they do not really realize that the new district will play a significant role in the future mainland economy. This is the fundamental reason for the disagreement between Du Yan and Li Peizheng. This difference had already appeared a year ago. When Du Yan explained the concept of the new district to Li Peizheng, Li Peizheng was not very interested or did not pay enough attention to it. If it were not for the city's great efforts in development later, the new district would be just a small town. A small foil, although Du Yan is confident that he will soon get support from higher-ups through the Song family, things may be different. "Secretary Li, the new district needs development. Only vigorous development of the new district will drive the development of the entire Pingling. Economy," Du Yan said calmly. He knew that Li Peizheng couldn't listen to these things that seemed too illusory now, but he still wanted to make some efforts. "I believe that the new district will become the economic growth point of Pingling, and even To become a model to be promoted in other places, we must seize the time. " "Xiao Du, you seem to have a lot of confidence in the new district," Li Peizheng smiled lightly. You couldn't see his expression from the phone, but Du Yan knew that his previous words probably didn't have much effect. "What do you think of the future of the new district? Tell me briefly how it is positioned. " "Secretary Li, I think the future impact of the new district will not be limited to Taihua," Du Yan said without leaving any room. He knew that if he could not attract Li Peizheng's attention and support, it would be very difficult for his work to be carried out. "Some people think that The new district only develops the economy of Pingling, but I think that maybe one day the relationship between the new district and Pingling will be reversed, and Pingling may become part of the new district, or in other wordsIt will serve as a base for logistics support in the new area in the future. " There was silence on the phone for a while. Du Yan knew that Li Peizheng was obviously overly surprised by his words and was thinking about what to say, so he waited patiently. "Xiao Du, your confidence is indeed not small," Li Peizheng spoke, his The deep voice seemed to have a slight fluctuation, "But I want to know where you come from with this confidence. You have to understand that if it is true as you said, the entire development plan of Pingling may change. Xiao Du, can you tell me the details? Are these your personal thoughts or are they based on other aspects? " Du Yan pondered for a moment. The reason why he said this to Li Peizheng was that he hoped that Li Peizheng could support him and at the same time understand why he didn't want to go into the muddy waters of Pingling. As Ding Bingxian said, nostalgia is his advantage. But sometimes it may be his shortcoming. "Secretary Li, these are just my personal opinions," Du Yan finally spoke slowly. He heard a faint sigh coming from the microphone, but he continued, "Now the new district needs development, so Only with development can we have more say, which will also be beneficial to the development of Pingling as a whole. I believe this is what we all want to see. " There was another brief silence on the phone, and then Li Peizheng's majestic voice came from the phone: "I understand what you mean, Comrade Du Yan. " After saying that, as the phone was put down, a busy beep sounded in Du Yan's ears. Du Yan slowly put down the phone, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip of the cold tea. Then he let out a soft sigh. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Establishing Wei New District When Du Yan put down the phone, on the other side of the phone, Li Peizheng was also deep in thought. Du Yan returned to Daqing Township without saying hello to him, which surprised him, or was a bit difficult to accept. When he heard that Du Yan had returned to Pingling, Li Peizheng was not only very happy, but even somewhat proud. For more than a year, although the situation has opened up, Li Peizheng still sometimes feels a little pressure when facing Guo Songlin, who has been operating in Pingling for many years. This is mainly because Guo Songlin's power cannot be ignored, but the main reason is that Guo Songlin has inherited the foundation of the old secretary in Pingling, and because he is a local, Guo Songlin has a huge innate advantage. In Li Peizheng's opinion, perhaps it was for this reason that Du Yan returned to Pingling. And as far as Li Peizheng knew, Du Yan obviously had connections and backgrounds that others did not have, which made him even more optimistic about his control over Pingling after Du Yan arrived. However, Du Yan's move of returning directly to Daqing Township on the second day after taking office sent an obvious signal that he did not want to get involved in the muddy waters of Pingling. This not only surprised Li Peizheng, but also made him feel that There is a sense of betrayal and anger. Another piece of news also made Li Peizheng feel more pressure. Du Yan's appointment to Pingling this time obviously touched the nerves of some people in the city. Maybe they had the same idea as Li Peizheng before, thinking that Du Yan would be keen on it. Helping Li Peizheng and Guo Songlin fight in Pingling was obviously not in line with the intentions of some leaders in the city, so soon after Du Yan arrived in Pingling, Li Peizheng was called to the city. I was told that in order to comply with organizational regulations, the Pingling team will add another standing committee member in the near future. According to the spirit of strengthening comprehensive social management and increasing the fight against various criminal activities recently issued by the central government, this standing committee member is a political and legal committee member. secretary. This made Li Peizheng, who originally thought he had taken the initiative, realize that there were people in the city who did not want to see him gain the upper hand in the fight against Guo Songlin, so of course the candidate for secretary of the Political and Legal Committee would not be someone who could meet his intentions. Thinking again about the condition that the city leaders repeatedly emphasized when it came to the candidate for secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, they required to understand the local situation in Pingling. Li Peizheng estimated that this candidate was obviously Liu Laofei. Thinking of Liu Laofei, Li Peizheng was a little annoyed. The entire Pingling officialdom knew that he was a hard-working guy. Apart from guarding his three-acre land in the Public Security Bureau all day long, it was said that he rarely did anything too much. Something out of the ordinary. However, despite this, Li Peizheng has received many reports about him. Although the reported matters are large and small, and some are a bit mysterious, because most of them are anonymous letters, Li Peizheng does not pay much attention to them, except for some real-name reports. Except for those who have asked relevant departments to investigate, most of them have no further information, and even those who have asked relevant departments to investigate, most of them have found no evidence. After a few times, Liu Laofei became even crazier. He publicly said that those who reported him were the criminals he had arrested, and they falsely accused him because they had personal grudges with him. Although he also clearly meant to retaliate. , but because no real evidence could be found, Li Peizheng had no choice but to let him continue to stay in the position of county bureau director. In addition, Li Peizheng doesn¡¯t want to push Liu Laofei too much. At least for now, Liu Laofei is just relying on his power as the police chief to sit back and observe the situation. If he is pushed too hard, he may completely fall to Guo Songlin. Li Peizheng could temporarily tolerate a deputy director of the county party committee office who was close to Guo Songlin, but he really couldn't accept the fact that the public security director of a powerful department voted for Guo Songlin. Now, Du Yan's attitude disappointed Li Peizheng, which made him secretly lament the fickleness of the world. Who would have thought that the person who was supposed to be his biggest help not only failed to help him, but with his arrival, Pingling's The Standing Committee produced more anomalies. Li Peizheng picked up the phone again and wanted to call Ding Bingxian over, but after a pause he slowly put down the phone. Ding Bingxian didn't seem very enthusiastic when Du Yan arrived at Pingling. Now that he thinks about it, he has obviously foreseen this situation. , and Du Yan's previous explanations on the phone also made Li Peizheng, who was a little angry at first, slowly calm down. By this time, Li Peizheng had gradually figured out that Du Yan was indeed no longer the young secretary who risked his life to stand in front of him when he was in danger. With his different status and vision, Du Yan obviously wanted to make his own statement. voice, and the relationship between himself and Du Yan is no longer a simple superior-subordinate relationship. To a large extent, it will be an equal cooperative relationship. This is already a fact whether Li Peizheng is willing to admit it or not. Ding Bingxian has obviously seen this, or this is what Ding Bingxian hopes to see. Li Peizheng has a hunch that Ding Bingxian is more optimistic about Du Yan than himself. This started when Du Yan was involved in the capital case, and when Ding Bingxian believed that Du Yan was not good enough.?This can be seen in the assertion that he will destroy his future for a mere few hundred thousand. Li Peizheng sat down slowly. He needed to think carefully. What happened in Pingling in recent days made him vaguely feel that maybe the subtle situation in the past year or so would change dramatically with Du Yan's return, but this change was obviously It's not something Li Peizheng could have thought of before. At 1:30 in the afternoon, when Du Yan walked into the conference room of Daqing Township after renovation, he saw that about twenty people were already sitting in the conference room. These people were all the town committee members of the three towns who were at home, except Liuli. All the town-level cadres from the three towns were present except for the deputy mayor of Jiji who was stationed in the village. Originally, such meetings would usually be held at half past one, and not all people might be present at two o'clock, but this time it was different. At the reception banquet in the county before arriving, Du Yan's actions had already made many people feel that he It seemed that the person who came back this time was not well-intentioned. Secondly, when Hu Weiping called each town respectively, he had repeatedly reiterated that Director Du required everyone to attend on time. This made the cadres of the three towns naturally think that Director Du would preside over the meeting of the three towns for the first time. It was inevitable that a new official would be appointed, but they did not know who would be burned first by these three fires. Walking into the venue, Du Yan noticed that the seats that were supposed to be arranged horizontally formed a long and narrow horseshoe shape around the table. Except for the three seats at the top of the gap, all the seats were arranged on both sides. Those who couldn't fit were seated. On the chairs against the walls on either side. Seeing this scene, Du Yan secretly smiled. He knew that this must be Hu Weiping's special design. In this way, people who could have sat behind a long row of tables on the small podium could only sit with others on both sides. , and it would be too out of the ordinary if there were not a chair in the middle. Maybe Hu Weiping actually did that. But even so, when Du Yan sat down and looked at Shi Changgeng's serious face, which was arranged very far away from the chairs next to him, almost reaching the table, Du Yan felt like laughing. Unexpectedly, Hu Weiping, a seemingly cautious person, should not be underestimated once he gets into tricks. ???????????? In fact, if Hu Weiping hadn¡¯t been too sharp and had Chen Laojiang suppressed him for more than ten years, he might have become a very famous figure in Daqing Township at least now. The meeting was chaired by Hu Weiping, which was originally supposed to be Peng Jun's job. However, because Du Yan planned Hu Weiping from the beginning, others were speechless, and the way they looked at Hu Weiping also changed somewhat. They originally thought that Hu Weiping would In the past, Du Yan would be taboo if he followed Liu Jiahui "without guaranteeing his integrity", but now it seems that Du Yan still thinks highly of Hu Weiping, and some people have even secretly speculated whether Du Yan will help Hu Weiping become the boss. The mayor of Qingxiang, although this possibility is really unlikely. When Hu Weiping announced the agenda of the meeting, Du Yan noticed that Sun Qizhi and Liu Wang from Shuangdui Town seemed to have erratic eyes. Especially when the announcement asked each town to introduce the deployment and completion of the development of the new area this year, Liu Wang Obviously in a daze, he looked at Sun Qizhi next to him as if he wanted to get some kind of inspiration and encouragement from Sun Qizhi, but Sun Qizhi's expression disappointed him. For a while, the cadres in Shuangdui were a little restless. The natural Daqing Township was introduced first. This time Peng Jun found an opportunity. He told the story in a passionate voice and added some gestures to emphasize some of the key points. Listening to his enthusiastic and energetic speech, It¡¯s hard to believe that this is a person who usually only thinks about how to climb up by stepping on others. When Peng Jun finished speaking, he looked at Du Yan and saw Du Yan gently taking the lead in applauding after taking notes of his speech. Peng Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with a smile. The next one is Liuliji. Unlike Peng Jun, who has to be more reserved and not flatter too obviously, Secretary Mei Maodongmei, who was almost scared to death because of Song Jiayi's investment, is completely indifferent from the beginning. Covertly praising Director Du. "We spent half a year renovating all the small kilns last year and building five more pot kilns. We are planning to build five more this year. Speaking of which, our Liuliji is now distributed, but how?" Secretary Mei asked. With two dark eyebrows, he asked the people around him, "What would we have done if Director Du hadn't brought in the funds in the first place? Without Director Du, we were looking for experts and promoting our Liuli Ji's Succi. Who would have known that our poor place was so poor?" You can pick up treasures with your waist? This time Director Du is back, we have to follow Director Du. Later, Director Du, you have to go to our Liuliji to give us advice. I, Lao Mei, don¡¯t listen to other people¡¯s hums, let alone Others are poking around and pulling out ladders, but I just want to convince you." As he said that, Secretary Mei glanced at Chen Syou, who was sitting in the back row, and made a heavy "hum" sound from his nose. Seeing Lao Mei¡¯s bitter hatred towards Chen Si, Du Yan was a little helpless. Speaking of which, Chen Si had themThe things that the pointing group did were indeed a bit unreasonable. It was no wonder that Lao Mei had to say a few words at the meeting, but this also made Du Yan more aware that there has been no effective communication between the three towns in the past year. The development trend of cooperation and complementarity is exactly what he least wants to see. It was a bit cold at the venue, but no one stood up to speak in the Shuangdui area where it was supposed to be their turn. A layer of frost gradually appeared on Du Yan's face. His eyes passed over the cadres in Shuangdui and finally landed on Sun Qizhi's face. Looking at Sun Qizhi, whose face seemed to be red from holding back, Du Yan said lightly: "Secretary Sun, can you give a general idea of ??Shuangdui's situation this year?" "Do you want to talk about it?" "Director Du, can I talk about it?" Sun Qizhi suddenly stood up. He first looked both sides, and when he saw Lao Zhai, he let out a low hum: "Director Du, I want to talk about our relationship first. "Secretary Sun, the time for today's meeting is limited," Peng Jun said suddenly. When he said this, he glanced at Du Yan. Du Yan's face showed no sign of Sun Qizhi's obvious words, but Shi Shi Chang Geng frowned slightly. Peng Jun estimated that Shi Changgeng was very willing to see someone come forward to challenge Du Yan, so he was obviously dissatisfied with what he said to stop Sun Qizhi, but Peng Jun didn't care, "Say something specific." That's the main problem. Director Du will give instructions to all of us. " "Deputy Secretary Peng, I am reporting to Director Du. I don't think I need your permission," Sun Qizhi asked Peng Jun with a dark face. , he deliberately emphasized the subtitle, but it hit Peng Jun's sore spot. For a moment, Peng Jun's face turned red from suppressing it, and the atmosphere in the conference room seemed tense. "This meeting is all about speaking your mind freely, Secretary Sun, please tell me." Du Yan's face was calm, but the look he looked at Sun Qizhi was not very good. "Director Du, everyone here knows that our Shuangdui Town used to be under the administration of Qingfeng, and then it was reorganized and reorganized into Pingling. It only took less than six years," Sun Qizhi said, meeting Du Yan's eyes. His current behavior is quite surprising to some people. No one expected that the famous secretary of "Shuanggui Town" would suddenly start complaining. "It can be said that Shuangdui is a stepmother. He doesn't need resources." Whether there is support or not, they say our place is at the junction of three cities. In fact, it is just a matter of no regard. In addition, our cadres in Shuangdui are really not up to par. We are holding back the new district, but it is also true that we are having difficulties now. Ah, Director Du, you must come up with a good idea for us Shuangdui. When we develop like Daqing Liuliji, you can just change someone to be the secretary and mayor.¡± , Sun Qizhi sat down, grabbed the cigarette case on the table, took out a cigarette, lit it and started smoking silently. There was a bit of silence in the conference room. Everyone here knew that what Sun Qizhi said before was actually just a pretext, and the real key was the last sentence. After Du Yan transferred Lao Zhai to Shuangdui through Li Peizheng, as the news of the new district came, many people had already vaguely guessed Du Yan's intentions. While they were secretly surprised by Du Yan's huge appetite, people also wanted to see it. Let¡¯s see what the final result is. But who knew that something happened to Du Yan midway, and Lao Zhai's situation immediately became embarrassing. As soon as the news of Du Yan's return spread, Lao Zhai was probably the happiest, and many people also thought that Du Yan was To make up for Lao Zhai's grievance during this period, he will definitely be given a better job. Thinking about the cadre issue in Shuangdui has become sensitive. When Sun Qizhi mentioned this at this time, he may not be testing Du Yan by complaining. The meaning of mind. Du Yan looked at Sun Qizhi silently. When Tu Xiangdong called Shuangdui Town Shuanggui Town, Du Yan thought he was just mocking Sun Qizhi and Liu Wang for living passively. Now that I think about it, there may not be any hidden meaning in Tu Xiangdong's words. Refers to the tolerant side of these two people. Now it seems that Sun Qizhi seems to be more savvy. He has obviously realized that the dawdling method may not work, so he immediately made a high-profile statement and took the initiative in his own hands. Not to mention that the Shuangdui problem cannot be solved for the time being, but it has really been solved. As soon as their secretary and mayor asked him to say these words, it was inconvenient and he really replaced it. It seems that even township cadres have rich experience in struggle and are not easy to deal with. However, these methods are useless to Du Yan! "It seems that the main problem today is Shuangdui?" Du Yan asked word by word. He glanced at the people in the conference room, and then pointed out the door. "Everyone saw it when they came in. What does it say on the sign outside? It is a new economic zone. In your opinion, it may be divided into Daqing, Liuliji and Shuangdui, but in terms of administrative planning and in the eyes of outsiders, we are a new economic zone, and we are a whole. " Du Yan opened the notebook he had recorded earlier, and while looking at the records above, he said one by one: "Daqing Winery, you think you only need Liuli Ji to do it for you?"The supporting wine bottles are enough. Have you ever thought about it. With Succi's reputation and historical background, can't you specially trial-produce some kind of wine that can complement and complement Suchi and bring out the traditional grade of wine? ? As for Liuli Ji, I¡¯m curious as to what you mean by getting rich this year? How many kilns were built? If you build some houses and smooth the roads in the village, you will be considered wealthy? You say that you can pick up treasures just by bending down, but do you know how great the benefits of Suchi can be? Do you know how big a splash your current little efforts will make in the future market? I can tell you that if you cannot change this mentality of being content with a small fortune as soon as possible, you will just pick up the treasure and give it to others for nothing. ¡± Seeing that Peng Jun and Lao Mei seemed to be disapproving of his words, Du Yan was a little helpless. He knew that if he didn¡¯t talk about it, people¡¯s ideas today were not open enough. Even in the era of openness in future generations, these people must understand the win-win situation. This truth is also difficult. The Chinese people prefer to eat alone, even if they cannot eat at all or would rather be eaten, than share the benefits that they cannot swallow with others. This is the most fatal shortcoming. But it was Du Yan who had to break it. In order to break this thinking pattern, he did not hesitate to use a more severe method. "As for Shuangdui," Du Yan's tone suddenly became stern, and his eyes turned to him. The cadres in Shuangdui swept away, and when they saw Sun Qizhi and Liu Wang, they glanced over without stopping. Then they withdrew their eyes and continued, "In your eyes, other places developed because of preferential policies. , then let me ask you, now that you know it is located at the junction of three cities, what have you done? Have you made full use of your unique geographical advantage? Do your cadres serve the masses with a clear conscience instead of just thinking about how to get by? ! " Du Yan questioned mercilessly. At this point, he closed his book and said in a stern tone: "I will report the relevant situation to the county committee. As for whether the cadre structure of Shuangdui meets the needs of the development of the new district, the county committee has a resolution. This is not something that anyone here can have the final say on, let alone say weird things out of anger! " Du Yan's voice was extremely stern. He looked at Sun Qizhi again and saw Sun Qizhi's slightly pale face. Du Yan had already made a judgment in his heart that he was "not responsible." "After today's meeting is over, I will go down every day. I personally stayed at the site, and when I had difficulties, I said, we can solve the problems on the spot." Du Yan stood up and looked at the cadres in the venue. "There is a Shencheng speed in the south, so let's build a new district speed in Hexi Province. I hope we can Everyone can keep up with the speed of this new area, otherwise the laggards will be eliminated. " Du Yan's words shocked everyone in the venue. They didn't know how Director Du was going to speed up this new area, but many people thought it would definitely not be comfortable. Others, such as Lao Zhai and Chen Si, had these People were secretly happy. They never thought that Director Du would do nothing if he didn't show his power. Once he showed his power, the momentum of the county party committee leaders would immediately show up. Looking at the young leader standing there looking down at everyone, some people who considered themselves to be Director Du's confidants couldn't help but I was very excited. The meeting continued under the chairmanship of Hu Weiping, but the atmosphere was different from the beginning. Some people began to take the initiative to speak. Even the cadres sitting on both sides of the wall raised their hands and asked to say a few words. Du Yan was slightly satisfied with the atmosphere that was gradually becoming more active. Just as he was listening carefully to the speeches from the cadres, Hu Xuecong suddenly opened the door of the conference room and walked in. He walked to Du Yan and whispered a few words in a low voice. He gave a slight signal to Shi Changgeng next to him, and then followed Hu Xuecong out of the conference room. ¡°The emergency call from the county committee is from Director Tu. I want you to answer it immediately. "Hu Xuecong whispered as he walked. Du Yan quickly walked into the office. As soon as he picked up the microphone and put it to his ear, he heard Tu Xiangdong's voice coming from inside: "Director Du, I am Tu Xiangdong. " "I'm Du Yan, what can I do, Director Tu? Du Yan asked in a deep voice. He knew that Tu Xiangdong would not specifically tell Hu Xuecong to pick him up immediately if it was not a particularly urgent matter. "You go back to the county immediately. There is an accident at the heavy machinery factory." " As expected, Tu Xiangdong said something that shocked Du Yan. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 8 Chapter 8 The Weird Standing Committee Expanded Meeting Hearing that something happened at the heavy machinery factory, Du Yan's heart sank! Although he couldn¡¯t explain clearly on the phone, Tu Xiangdong still briefly introduced the situation. The Old Heavy Machinery Factory is the largest enterprise in Pingling. It used to be a symbol of Pingling heavy industry, but in recent years it has become a huge burden, especially with the changes in the domestic industrial structure in recent years. The old heavy machinery factory, which had been called upon by its superiors to implement a series of reform measures, not only failed to get out of its predicament, but instead fell even deeper into the quagmire. Du Yan had already mentioned these in his report to Li Peizheng a year ago. Although Li Peizheng felt that what Du Yan said was a bit alarmist at the time , but still expressed a certain degree of attention. But now it seems that the matter has not been truly resolved. Years ago, the Old Heavy Machinery Factory began to implement a split plan in accordance with the resolution made by the city. However, this seemed to arouse dissatisfaction among the workers. Two days ago, the workers gathered at a factory accountant responsible for the split plan. Although the previous demonstration was later dissipated after being dissuaded, who would have thought that today, when the workers at the heavy machinery factory heard that people from the firm were coming to evaluate the assets, they locked the factory gate after those people entered the factory. The staff of the office and some factory leaders were blocked in the yard of the heavy machinery factory. Listening to Tu Xiangdong's story, Du Yan couldn't help but think of the scene he saw on his way home two days ago. He thought that the workers at the old heavy machinery factory at that time must have been at the door of the accounting office that Tu Xiangdong mentioned on the phone. At a demonstration. Du Yan returned to the conference room after putting down the phone. He saw the cadres who were discussing looking towards him. After he announced that the meeting was over, he immediately led Hu Weiping out of the conference room. Du Yan didn't ride in that Santana. For him, that car was too ostentatious. Although the Santana was already very low-key compared to Qiao Luowei, who didn't pay much attention to the hundreds of thousands of Audis, but in the county town It's a bit conspicuous inside, and considering the road conditions from Daqing Township to Pingling, riding in the low Santana is not as comfortable as riding in the old Jeep in town. The car bumped on the road, and Du Yan frowned. As a child of a worker in the old heavy machinery factory, Du Yan had some feelings for the old heavy machinery factory. But he also knew that with the adjustment of the national industrial structure and the gradual weakening of the planned economy, state-owned enterprises or military-industrial enterprises with strong characteristics of the planned economy era, such as the Old Heavy Machinery Factory and the 307 Factory, would become worse in the future reforms. It is becoming more and more difficult and even falling into a complete dilemma. The current conflicts have just begun. In two years, with the collapse of heavy industry bases in the three northern provinces, the country will enter a huge painful stage. And this stage is by no means just a short-term pain as some senior leaders promised to those workers who made sacrifices, but an abyss that is difficult to get out of once you fall into it! What can you do? Du Yan closed his eyes and thought, now that he is just a small new district director, what should he do in matters that affect the future of thousands of families and tens of thousands of people in Pingling? Hu Weiping, who was sitting in the passenger seat in front, looked at Du Yan behind him through the rearview mirror. Although he only heard that something happened at the old heavy machinery factory and didn't know what happened specifically, when he said to Du Yan, although Although it was a short but profound impression, Du Yan, despite his youth, was a person who was not only steady, but even a little deep that made him uneasy. Now Hu Weiping guessed from Du Yan's frowning eyebrows that what happened should be very serious. As soon as the jeep entered the county town, Hu Weiping felt a tense atmosphere. Looking at the traffic police directing traffic at the street intersection and the assisting police officers running around with him from time to time, Hu Weiping couldn't help but turn slightly and look at Du Yan behind him. "Go to the county committee," Du Yan said after thinking for a moment. He knew that calling him back was certainly not to let him solve the problem of the old heavy machinery factory, but to convene an emergency meeting of the county committee, and he did not fully understand the situation before He didn't intend to express his opinion, although he was very anxious, but then he ordered: "Weiping, after you send me to the county committee, go to the old heavy machinery factory for a walk and find out what happened. Remember to say less. Listen more." Hu Weiping nodded silently. He didn't expect that Du Yan seemed to pay so much attention to the matters at the old heavy machinery factory. Maybe Director Du didn't just want to be a foil in the next meeting. When he arrived at the county party committee compound, he saw the cars parked in a mess. Du Yan guessed that the matter might be more serious than he thought. Before he entered the conference room, he heard Guo Songlin's stern voice. : "The person who took the lead in causing the accident must be severely punished. This kind of behavior of the old heavy machinery factory worker is openly hostile to the government agencies. If not severely punished, it will be connivance and cover-up, which will create the worst start." Hearing Guo Songlin's words came to an end. , Du Yan pushed the door and walked in. Facing the dozens of pairs of eyes looking in the conference room, Du Yan glanced briefly and found that in addition to all the standing committee members, the deputy county magistrate in charge of county industry, the chairman of the labor union, the director of industry and commerce, The Finance Director and the County Government Propaganda OfficeThe cadres of the Party Committee and some other departments were in a dark mess, and the most conspicuous among these people was the Public Security Bureau Chief Liu Laofei who seemed to be sitting at the top of the Standing Committee table. And coincidentally, Liu Laofei's seat He happened to be right next to Du Yan, who was the most admired member of the Standing Committee. Du Yan passed through the few cadres who were making way and came to his seat and slowly sat down. Looking at Liu Laofei who nodded to him, Du Yan nodded slightly. He knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Liu Laofei would He will soon join the Standing Committee as Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. This makes Du Yan seem to see more ups and downs that will happen in the county party committee compound in the future. However, at this time, people have no time to think about these. From Guo From Song Lin's unusually stern attitude, Du Yan could guess that maybe what happened at the heavy machinery factory was more complicated than imagined. Seeing Du Yan sit down, Guo Songlin continued to speak fiercely: "Why are the workers making a fuss? There are obviously people among them who are instigating. Some people are afraid that the world will not be in chaos and that the great situation in Pingling will not be in chaos. This is absolutely If it is intolerable, find these troublemakers and destroy their arrogance. Only in this way can the workers understand what they have done wrong and that they are being used by others. " "Mr. Songlin, let's make a conclusion now that there are people. It's too early to provoke," Ding Bingxian spoke, which surprised many people. In people's minds, Ding Bingxian seldom spoke most of the time. Although many people knew that Ding Bingxian had a good relationship with Li Peizheng, but because of his People rarely express their opinions. People's awareness of Ding Bingxian's existence as the third-in-command is sometimes not as strong as that of Executive Deputy County Magistrate Geng Zhen. However, they did not expect that in such an unexpected incident, Ding Bingxian suddenly broke his own rules that he had never known before. The habit of speaking proactively, and directly objecting to Guo Songlin's opinions. "Why did the workers intercept outsiders who came to the factory, and why did they even intercept the factory leaders? I think there may be some problems here, and these problems cannot be solved simply by suppressing certain people. It will cause great resentment among the workers, and it is best to solve it in a gentle way. After all, we are facing the workers, and we cannot blindly adopt tough measures, which will also have a great impact." Ding Bingxian said in a calm tone and Guo Songlin. There was a strong contrast between the stern tone of the meeting room, and the conference room felt a little stuffy for a while. People did not expect that a heavy machinery factory incident would cause the second and third leaders of the county party committee to have disagreements, and the nature of the disagreements was somewhat serious. After all, there was It involves a very sensitive conflict issue with workers. "I agree with County Magistrate Guo's opinion," Organization Minister Liao Kun stood firmly on Guo Songlin's side. For Liao Kun, every time he expresses his position, it is not based on principles, but only for taking sides. "Workers can respond to problems and situations, but this kind of blatant confrontation with the government , Actions that cause trouble to the government must not be condoned. I think the main relevant personnel must be dealt with seriously and handed over to the judicial department when necessary." As soon as Liao Kun finished speaking, Propaganda Minister Lao Xu also immediately expressed his attitude. Although according to the It was not his place to speak, but at this time he was the first to express his support for Guo Songlin. Huang Guozhi, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, didn't say much. He just stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand and said in a serious tone: "I think necessary measures should be taken to deal with what happened." Then he lit up another cigarette and smoked it. Looks up, this is quite in line with his usually reticent character. It¡¯s just how to understand Huang Guozhi¡¯s words, but it makes people confused for a moment. What kind of means are necessary and what kind of measures should they have? But he didn't expect that the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission would start playing Tai Chi at this time. Thinking of this, people looked at Huang Guozhi with strange eyes. "I think we should be more cautious." Surprisingly, Executive Deputy County Magistrate Geng Zhen expressed a different view, which surprised people. Although Geng Zhen, the Executive Deputy County Magistrate sent from other places, Zhen and Guo Songlin are not from the same school, but Geng Zhen has always supported and cooperated with Guo Songlin at work, but this time there were suddenly different voices. In addition to Ding Bingxian's sudden speech before, no one expected that with a sudden Due to emergencies, some unexpected changes have taken place in Pingling's officialdom. "The workers' behavior may have been a little extreme, but after all, they haven't done anything extraordinary yet. Will it trigger a backlash if it is dealt with too harshly at this time?" Everyone knows that Governor Gao will come to Taihua for inspection next month. During this period, if a serious incident occurs in Pingling, he will be very passive. " Geng Zhen's words made many people stunned. In fact, everyone here was stunned. Knowing that Gao Ke, the governor of Hexi Province, is coming to inspect next month, this is a huge event not only for Pingling, but also for Taihua. It is precisely because of this that after hearing about the riots among the workers at the heavy machinery factory, The Pingling County Committee was immediately in a panic, and Guo Songlin directly shouted out that he would be severely punished. But as soon as Geng Zhen said these words, Guo Songlin¡¯s face didn¡¯t look good.The previous actions of Huang Guozhi and Xi Ni had already made him a little annoyed. However, as a cadre of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Huang Guozhi always had some selfishness in Du Shao. His relationship with Guo Songlin was different from that of Liao Kun and Laoxu. They were more of allies. Instead of being a pure superior and subordinate, Guo Songlin had nothing to do. But Geng Zhen¡¯s obvious opposition made Guo Songlin a little unbearable. The executive deputy county magistrate publicly opposed the county magistrate¡¯s opinions at the enlarged meeting of the county committee, which was unacceptable to Guo Songlin. He could feel that from the moment Huang Guozhi spoke, there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the conference room, and then when Geng Zhen directly raised objections, people looked at him with even more meaningful eyes. You must know that some people here are still the first Participating in an enlarged meeting of the county committee for the first time. If this kind of accident, which was originally a rare accident, was regarded as a frequent occurrence in the standing committee, the impact on Guo Songlin would be too great. ¡°I think it should be severely punished!¡± Another voice sounded, but when people looked at Tu Xiangdong who spoke, many people already looked shocked because of the accident. What happened today? Is it a collective betrayal? People's interest immediately arose. As we all know, Tu Xiangdong has been Li Peizheng's most loyal follower since he took refuge in Li Peizheng. At times, he was even the same as Liao Kun in expressing unprincipled support and opposition. of. But at this critical moment, Tu Xiangdong actually publicly supported Guo Songlin, which made people feel unexpectedly excited. They didn't expect that the enlarged meeting of the county committee would turn out like this. People noticed that Li Peizheng¡¯s expression did not change after hearing Tu Xiangdong¡¯s words, but no one knew what Li Peizheng was thinking. Tu Xiangdong stopped after saying this. He was not enjoying the feeling of being noticed. It was best for him not to be noticed. He was waiting for people to psychologically accept his statement. After all, in such a surprised mood, perhaps his words would not be listened to. "The document recently issued by the central government on combating various social crimes has been distributed to our county. I think everyone has read it. I think that although the workers in the heavy machinery factory causing trouble are not considered crimes, they can at least be regarded as obstructing society. "Public security, is this right, Director Liu?" Tu Xiangdong asked Liu Laofei next to Du Yan. He nodded immediately when he saw Liu Laofei. Without waiting for him to speak, Tu Xiangdong continued, "No matter what happened, As we are responsible for the public security in Pingling, Governor Gao will come to our Taihua for inspection in a month. We cannot adopt too weak an attitude towards the workers of the heavy machinery factory. Of course, we must pay attention to the methods and methods, and we must not attack those who have been exposed. Big, that will affect the relationship between cadres and the masses, but they cannot be allowed to go on like this, so I think the main perpetrators should be punished accordingly." After Tu Xiangdong finished speaking, he looked at the person across the table, the Minister of Military Affairs, Lao Dong. Most old directors abstain from voting on such matters, but there is still a process for expressing one's stance at the meeting. But the old director didn¡¯t seem to notice Tu Xiangdong¡¯s prompt. He lowered his head and drank tea without answering, and the conference room fell into silence again. "I want to ask a question." At this moment, Du Yan knew it was his turn to speak. When he spoke, he could feel everyone's eyes immediately turning to him. Even Li Peizheng, who had been silent, looked up from the table. Du Du raised his head and looked at him, "Why are the workers at the heavy machine factory making trouble? Can anyone here introduce this situation?" The conference room immediately fell silent. Although Tu Xiangdong had briefly described the situation before, Du Yan could not tell Tu Xiangdong's During the introduction, he vaguely discovered that something seemed a little strange. Why did the workers conflict with the personnel of the accounting firm who went to evaluate the assets of the heavy machine factory? Tu Xiangdong only passed by this situation. When Du Yan arrived at the venue, he gradually discovered that whether it was Those who supported tough measures and those who recommended caution only expressed their opinions on the riots among the workers at the Chongqing Machinery Factory, but no one put forward suggestions for a complete solution to the problem. This made Du Yan guess that there must be something behind this incident. The reason why the entire Pingling Standing Committee is worried about it. As a person who has experienced too many things in later generations, Du Yan knows very well what kind of filth and filth is behind "restructuring", a cake that heralds huge division of interests. After seeing and hearing his own problem, although his voice was different, , but when the Standing Committee member refused to answer his question, Du Yan was already sure that the water involved must be very deep. "The workers made trouble and even locked the factory door. This behavior is obviously very serious," Du Yan continued. "But if we make a certain classification because of the workers' behavior, isn't it also irresponsible? Some of us Has anyone formally communicated with the workers? Chairman Ma, what is the attitude of the trade union in this regard? " Du Yan's sudden question made Sister Ma, the chairperson of the county trade union, who was sitting in the back row and staring at the corner of the room, confused. Just stunned. For her, she only comes out during holidaysVisit each factory to express condolences. If you encounter some labor disputes, just make peace with them. If it doesn't work, just push it to other departments. For the union chairman who is usually so free that he has played with all kinds of sweater patterns, what happened at the heavy machinery factory? The matter was simply beyond her understanding. Seeing Sister Ma standing up in a daze, but not knowing what to say, she just said "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh," Du Yan pressed his hand down on her and asked her to sit down, and then said to the Standing Committee members who were looking at him. : ¡°I believe that we should not take excessive actions against workers, let alone destroy, incite, or instigate such qualitative issues. In that case, we would actively push workers to the opposite side. This is definitely not what we should do. As for When it comes to combating various social crimes, there is an issue of distinguishing the nature of crimes. In addition, please don¡¯t forget that this document is derived from the spirit of the Southern Tour speech, and there is a more important paragraph in the Southern Tour speech. , that is, the essence of adhering to the socialist road and the working class being the masters of the country. The fight against crime is also proposed based on the guarantee of this essence. "When it comes to this, Du Yan curled his lips unnoticeably. When someone debated with him on this issue, he was very unwilling to lose. After all, he drafted the draft of the speech, and his many years of experience in later generations allowed him to add a lot of his own opinions to the draft. And words of caution about problems that may arise in the future. If anyone wants to use this to talk about something, he will definitely not refuse. "Comrade Du Yan, what you said is a bit harsh," Propaganda Minister Lao Xu said to Du Yan with a smile. His signature smile made it easy for people to think of him as a heartless person, but in fact Lao Xu Not only is he extremely ruthless under his lively pen, "Is there no one here to characterize the workers? After all, this is still a contradiction among the people, but we cannot take it lightly. If we are careless, we may fall into the trap of a small group of people with ulterior motives." Of course, we must know that our historical lessons are profound. Forgetting these historical lessons means" "Betrayal?" Du Yan suddenly interrupted Lao Xu. His move made everyone in the conference room stunned. Some people have already directly labeled Du Yan as someone who talks a lot and is not able to do things well. After all, in the Standing Committee, especially the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee, openly interrupting another Standing Committee member's speech is not only inconsistent with the organizational principles, but also highlights the Very immature. "Minister Xu, how do you define the small group of people you are talking about? Are you making subjective assumptions and irresponsible by asserting that there is a small group of people without going to the site for investigation and research? In addition, you said that there is a small group of people. A few, so which one is the minority and which one is the majority? Or do you think the only ones involved in this incident are those in the minority? If so, I would like to ask you, Minister Xu, what is the position of the Pingling County Committee? Where should I put it?" Du Yan didn't stop talking. He saw Lao Xu opening his mouth to speak several times but ignored him. At the same time, his eyes quickly scanned the other people on the table and saw Guo Songlin's gloomy expression. With Li Peizheng's expression on his face, Du Yan was thinking rapidly, but he never stopped saying, "In addition, when you talked about the lessons of history, Minister Xu, I don't know how you view history, but I know that it is When the country needed the working class two years ago, the working class stood firmly on the side of the party, but now it has become a historical lesson for you. In your opinion, the relationship between the working class and us now is hostile. Or do you think that the working class can no longer play the role of the vanguard representing the advanced nature of our party?" Du Yan's questioning immediately made Lao Xu's face turn red. He never expected that this young boy would have such a vicious mouth, and it would be even more hateful. He actually went on the line and said that he was hostile to the working class. In front of so many people, there was no way he could take his words seriously. If rumors spread that a county propaganda minister has ideological problems, no matter the outcome It's terrible for him no matter what. Lao Xu opened his mouth to argue with Du Yan. Seeing this scene, Li Peizheng finally couldn't bear it and let out a deep snort. I have to admit that the authority of the leader was immediately revealed at this moment. The venue was silent for a moment. Except for the slight sound of someone sitting upright due to nervousness, there was no sound at all. "We are going to solve the problem. The heavy machinery factory is still closed. Do we want to continue arguing like this?" Li Peizheng's face was gloomy. He rarely lost his temper since he took office, but this time he was filled with anger. A month later, Gao The news of the provincial governor's inspection had already made him feel a lot of pressure, but who would have thought that something like this would happen again at this critical moment. What he didn't expect was that at the enlarged meeting of the party committee, Du, who formally participated in the meeting for the first time, Yan Ju suddenly attacked. Although the targets of the attack were people under Guo Songlin, this move that clearly exposed the disunity within the Standing Committee made Li Peizheng furious. He looked towards Du Yan and saw Du Yan¡¯s eyes coming towards him without evading him.?, another trace of doubt flashed through Li Peizheng's heart. He really couldn't understand this young man at this time, and he felt that it was difficult to grasp the context of Du Yan's seemingly immature behavior before. However, the current situation left him no time to continue to speculate on the thoughts of his former secretary: "What Comrade Du Yan said still makes sense. We need to investigate what happened first, but we must not allow the blocking of the factory door to continue. "Go down, Director Liu," Li Peizheng said to Liu Laofei, who was sitting opposite him. "Immediately organize police forces to the heavy machinery factory to maintain order and find ways to rescue the trapped people. Remember that during this period, our police officers must maintain "Restraint will not allow the incident to escalate." "Secretary Li, don't worry, our county bureau is already ready near the heavy machinery factory, just waiting for the county party committee to issue the order!" Liu Laofei immediately stood up and said loudly. Although he is fat, he can't. His waist was very straight, and his unique loud voice sounded extremely loud in the entire conference room. "I agree with Director Du's view." The old Dong from the Ministry of Armed Forces, who had been drinking tea with his head down just now, suddenly spoke. After speaking, he continued to drink tea with his head down. But this was enough to make people in the venue secretly stunned. It stands to reason that Li Peizheng, as the leader, has made a decision after speaking. There is no need for others to speak anymore. What's more, unless it involves the military, the Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces has always remained silent on local affairs. of. But what happened today? First, there were two factions that were originally very clear, but it was you who sang and I came on stage to cause trouble for the people on your side. Then a young boy who participated in the Standing Committee for the first time did not follow the rules and almost caused trouble. Finally, someone used force. Now that the minister is here, he can show his support with one hand? It¡¯s chaos, it¡¯s all chaos! Li Peizheng secretly frowned. He has never encountered such a thing since he came to Pingling. Although Guo Songlin has always had the upper hand relying on local forces, Li Peizheng can generally control the Standing Committee, but today It seems that not only is the so-called control gone, but even Guo Songlin is obviously confused by this sudden change. Are things at the heavy machinery factory really too complicated, or is it because of other reasons? Li Peizheng was thinking about it and at the same time looked at Ding Bingxian next to him. Ding Bingxian realized Li Peizheng's eyes. He raised his head and looked at Li Peizheng. Then he coughed and attracted the attention of people at the meeting: "I think it is best for the county committee to send a comrade to the heavy machinery factory to understand the situation. Comrade Du Yan You're right. We can't make any conclusions without investigation and research. In addition, we also need a county leader to be in charge. After all, police officers may have conflicts with workers when rescuing trapped people. This requires a county party committee leader. "Control on the spot." Having said this, Ding Bingxian has noticed that people look at him a little strangely. This is inevitable. If you think about it carefully, you will know that the secretary cannot stand up for this kind of thing, nor can the county magistrate. Other county party committee leaders must. If you don't take charge of each party, you are either not qualified enough. The most suitable person to do this is Ding Bingxian, the deputy secretary in charge of party-mass relations. But no one has time to hide from this kind of thing. What happened to Ding Bingxian? He actually set a trap for himself? Today¡¯s expanded meeting of the Standing Committee was quite evil. Ding Bingxian smiled bitterly in his heart. In fact, he had known that he would never be able to avoid this kind of thing. In this case, he might as well take it over. "Secretary Li, if the county party committee trusts you, I am willing to communicate with the workers at the heavy machinery factory." Du Yan suddenly spoke. When everyone was still confused, he continued, "Maybe some of you here know that I am Lao Zhong. Although it seems inconvenient for me to handle this matter as a family member of the machine factory, I personally think that because I am familiar with the situation of the old heavy machine factory, it is more appropriate for me to do the work. " Li Peizheng looked at Du Yan silently. He admitted that he really couldn't figure out Du Yan's thoughts now. If Du Yan could not wait to leave Pingling before because he was unwilling to wade into troubled waters, then his behavior now is different. What is it? "Director Du has a very high theoretical level and has worked in the Provincial Party School. He can still grasp this situation. I think it is OK." Liao Kun glanced at Guo Songlin and spoke immediately. He was really afraid that Li Peizheng would disagree. "I agree." Lao Xu said in a muffled voice. He didn't expect that he would let a stupid kid get the better of him in front of so many people. He didn't even have a chance to refute. Now he saw Du Yan's head was dizzy and he took the initiative to make a big hole. After jumping, Lao Xu felt that if he didn't help push him, he would be sorry for himself. Huang Guozhi and Geng Zhen looked at each other and then nodded. Lao Dong just looked at Du Yan. When he saw Du Yan looking over with a firm look, he raised his hand and continued drinking tea. At this point, Tu Xiangdong didn't know what to say. When he looked at Du Yan, his eyes first showed a trace of doubt, and then he raised his hand. At the same time, he looked at??Li Peizheng and Ding Bingxian at the end of the table. Ding Bingxian picked up the teacup on the table. He blew lightly into the cup and looked at a leaf stem rising and falling in the water. Ding Bingxian sighed and put down the cup: "I also agree with Comrade Du Yan to handle the relevant matters on behalf of the county committee." "Well, Xiao Du, you will go to the heavy machinery factory on behalf of the county committee and treat it calmly and handle it with caution," Li Peizheng said to Du Yan. Looking at Du Yan who stood up calmly, Li Peizheng felt that he was watching again. When he came to the young man who had just come to work as his secretary, he couldn't help but sigh, and he muttered a little: "Be careful yourself." "Thank you, Secretary Li, I will remember it." Du Yan nodded to Li Peizheng Head, then turned and walked out of the conference room. Volume 4 "Volume 3: The Official Sail" Chapter 9 Chapter 9 The Struggle for Factory Capital The old heavy machinery factory is located on the opposite bank of the Xiaoqing River in Pingling County. Many years ago, this place was a completely desolate wilderness. At that time, Pingling County was less than half the size of the current county. With the country¡¯s call for the construction of the third line, the heavy machinery plant Factory and the 307th Factory responsible for manufacturing precision electronic equipment successively moved to Pingling. After decades of ups and downs, the two factories gradually took root and developed in Pingling, and gradually merged with and became part of Pingling. . Looking from a distance, you can see the two tall tower gantry cranes in the old heavy machinery factory that have been abandoned due to disrepair and rust. Looking from a distance, the two large gantry cranes are like two silent stumbling cranes. Giant has witnessed the former glory of the heavy machinery factory over the years, and has also witnessed every step of its gradual decline with the changes of the times. Du Yan sat in the car without saying a word. Liu Laofei, who was sitting next to him, kept using the walkie-talkie in his hand to contact the people below. Although it was not yet the first lunar month, there were words on his forehead. The sweat made the fat head seem even bigger. Du Yan silently looked outside the car. Pingling was a small county town, and the Heavy Machinery Factory was a large enterprise in Pingling. So by this time, almost everyone in the city knew that something had happened to the old Heavy Machinery Factory. He looked at the people on the street. Du Yan felt heavy in his heart when people were talking and telling each other. Thousands of people from the Heavy Machinery Factory plus their families had an absolutely terrifying impact in a county like Pingling, and Du Yan would never forget that when leaving the county party committee compound, Ding Bingxian came out of the conference room to say: Those few words I said. "Xiao Du, it seems that you are really preparing to do a Bolang strike." Ding Bingxian, who was standing on the steps at the time, looked at Du Yan with a hint of emotion in his expression. You can't lose your vitality just because of this, otherwise you will disappoint people." As he spoke, Ding Bingxian turned around and looked up at the county committee building behind him and shook his head slightly, "I have been here for too long, and my soul has been damaged. He has become boneless. He is so young. " Ding Bingxian put his hands behind his back and looked at Du Yan, nodding slightly. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Du, there will be problems at the heavy machinery factory this time. Some of the reasons may be. It's related to asset evaluation. Things here are very complicated, so you must be careful." Ding Bingxian's words were not very clear, but Du Yan had already vaguely heard the crux of the problem, and then thought about what he would hear later. From all the rumors about the restructuring process, he had almost guessed what the details were. The police car was speeding down the street, driving along the riverside road beside the Xiaoqing River. When the police car was about to reach the Qinghe Bridge leading to the other side, a man suddenly ran out of the roadside and waved to the police car. "Are you looking for death?" The policeman sitting in the passenger seat poked his head out and cursed loudly. Du Yan frowned, but he just leaned over from Liu Laofei and whispered to Hu Weiping, who stopped the police car: "Weiping "Get in the car." The policeman was a little embarrassed. The police car could only accommodate four people. Although the back seat could be squeezed in, he also knew that the leaders would not be allowed to squeeze into the back seat, so he got out of the car angrily. , watching the middle-aged man he had just scolded get into the police car and sit in the passenger seat. After Hu Weiping got in the car, he greeted Liu Laofei next to Du Yan, and Liu Laofei smiled. Of course he didn't know the director of the town committee office of Daqing Township before, but the day Du Yan arrived This person always accompanied Du Yan at the banquet, which naturally attracted the attention of the county cadres. In addition, Du Yan toasted Wang Lianyi in front of so many people, and the cadres in Pingling also had an impression. That's why Director Du treats people who are caring to him, which is very interesting. "Director, why are you here?" Hu Weiping asked, because he didn't say something in front of Liu Laofa. Du Yan asked him to go to the heavy machinery factory to find out what happened. When he found out something and wanted to call Du Yan who was at the county party committee, the news he got was that Du Yan led the police from the county public security bureau to solve the problem. Here comes the problem for the heavy machinery factory. This shocked Hu Weiping. He never expected that the county committee would ask Du Yan to come forward to solve this problem. When he heard the news, the first thought in Hu Weiping's mind was: Someone is setting a trap for Director Du! He wanted to contact Du Yan to ask him to refuse the arrangement, but the answer he got was that Director Du had already left with the team. Hu Weiping had no choice but to run to the Qinghe Bridge, which was the only way to the heavy machinery factory, and wait for Du Yan. "The work is arranged by the county committee." Du Yan knew that Hu Weiping had something to say and it was inconvenient to talk, so he said to Liu Laofei, "Let's do this. The comrades from the county bureau will go first, and my car will follow behind. If anything happens, inform me as soon as possible." Liu Laofei also knew that Du Yan was indeed not suitable to come out before the dredging began, so he handed his walkie-talkie to Hu Weiping, saying that he would report to Director Du immediately if there was any situation. Du Yan nodded and got out of the car. He didn't want toSitting in a car with Liu Laofei, Hu Weiping's appearance also gave him an excuse. Looking at the string of police cars that immediately drove forward, Du Yan hesitated for a moment and then got into the old jeep that followed them. "Director, why are you here?" Hu Weiping said the same thing, but this time there was a hint of complaint in his tone. Although Hu Weiping has not been following Du Yan for a long time, he knows Du Yan much better than anyone else. Sometimes he even feels that this young man, who is about the same age as his son, is terrifying to him. Whether it was his completely different attitude toward Wang Lianyi or Lao Yu on the first day he took office or his subsequent treatment of the new district cadres, Hu Weiping felt that Du Yan seemed to have thought through every step he took. This made him believe that if Du Yan hadn't If he is willing, even if others want to push this matter on him, it will not be easy. But now that I think about it, maybe he had the intention of meddling in this matter from the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed himself to inquire about the situation at the old heavy machinery factory. "Weiping, tell me what you heard?" Du Yan asked, ignoring Hu Weiping's complaints. "I heard that the commotion started because there was a problem with the assets assessment of the old heavy machinery factory, and the general office of the factory seemed to be taking back the employee dormitories and redistributing them. It just so happened that these two things got mixed up and caused trouble. "Hu Weiping gave a brief introduction. He knew that since Du Yan had decided to mix up this muddy water, his duty was to provide as much information as possible for Du Yan's reference. "There is another news, I don't know if it is reliable," Hu Weiping said He hesitated for a moment, after all, the authenticity of the news might affect Du Yan's judgment on the whole matter. "Tell me, let's put aside the reliable and unreliable ones first." Du Yan said, but although he seemed to be careless, he actually took it seriously. Many so-called rumors actually have some basis in themselves, but they have been infinitely exaggerated in the spread. "Many people nearby are saying that someone is manipulating this evaluation, and that the accounting firm is here to estimate the loss." Hu Weiping said cautiously, "And some people say that their background is very strong, but no one knows who they are. "That's clear." Du Yan nodded silently. At this time, he had roughly understood that when he asked about the specific details of the matter at the Standing Committee, several members of the Standing Committee looked at him in an indifferent manner and looked at the accountant. The office is indeed not simple. " When he was thinking this, the car had already driven onto the cement road leading to the old heavy machinery factory. Looking at the withered grass on the roadside, Du Yan sighed secretly. The old heavy machinery factory was really in decline. It has not opened yet. When they arrived at the factory gate, a chaotic shout came from far away. Du Yan signaled the jeep to pull over and got out of the car. Looking at the factory gate in the distance that was tightly blocked by the crowd, Hu Weiping couldn't help but feel worried. He looked at Du Yan. At the entrance of the heavy machinery factory, which was originally very wide, the two distinctive doors with red stars could not be seen at all. The heads swaying inside and outside looked dark in the distance. Yes, driven by suppressed emotions and an obvious herd mentality, a large number of workers wearing old heavy machine factory uniforms ran back and forth from time to time. For a while, no one knew why they were running back and forth, but every time a shout came out from one place Suddenly, someone would run over, and then another commotion broke out, causing another commotion. Suddenly, a shrill siren sounded from the middle of the crowd. As the crowd retreated, Du Yan saw Mr. Liu from a distance. The policeman standing on the open roof took a microphone and shouted loudly to the workers around him: "According to the social security penalty regulations, you closed the factory door and illegally detained people entering the factory. You have already violated the relevant laws. If you don't open the factory door again, you will be punished." The county bureau must take necessary measures. " "What measures are there? ! Are we all going to be arrested? Someone in the crowd shouted, and immediately there was a response from all around, "Are you the people's police? Do you want to arrest the workers?" " "We will not arrest people casually, but it is our responsibility to rescue the trapped people. If you don't disperse and return to the factory immediately, we will take necessary measures. "Liu Laofang was sweating on his forehead, and his teeth were clenching. In fact, he had long wanted the prepared police to storm the factory, but Li Peizheng's previous order made him scruple, and Du Yan followed him this time. He was confused for a moment and didn't dare to act rashly. "Don't listen to him. I saw a large number of policemen hiding at Qinghe Bridge. It seems that there are also armed policemen. They are here to arrest people!" " A young man's shout immediately caused a panic. At this time when there is no way to prove what is true and what is false, people are instinctively more willing to believe the news that is not good for them. "We can't let those people go, they They are here to resell the old heavy machinery factory,¡± someone shouted, ¡°We will all lose our jobs and even our houses will be taken away, how will we live?¡± " "Can't let go! "Find those people out and let them"??Clear! ¡± People shouted and the workers in the factory yard began to surround an old-fashioned building not far from the factory gate. Seeing that building hanging directly outside, it looked like an airplane boarding ladder. It looked like an iron staircase, and Du Yan recognized that it should be the location of the factory's general office. "Old Pei, protect the people in the house!" "Liu Laofei grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly in the direction of the General Office. Several policemen immediately appeared in the exposed corridor of the General Office. Looking at the workers pouring downstairs, they all raised their batons and instruments. ! The workers at the front immediately stopped, while the people behind came and pushed the people in front toward the police cordon. The distance between the two sides gradually shortened, and the police began to wave their batons. The workers' original fear of the police gradually turned into anger and agitation. The conflict between the two sides was about to break out! "Director Liu, please turn the intercom to the loudspeaker. "Du Yan picked up the walkie-talkie. He was still outside the crowd at this time, so he used the walkie-talkie to contact Liu Laofei and walked through the crowd towards the police car. Liu Laofei immediately pointed the walkie-talkie at the loudspeaker. At this time He was happiest when Du Yan was willing to take over. "Everyone, be quiet! "Du Yan said loudly. Although the sound coming from the walkie-talkie seemed strange, it also attracted the attention of both sides of the confrontation. Du Yan had already walked to the police car at this time. He took the loudspeaker from Liu Laofei's hand and turned over. He jumped on the front hood of the police car, "Calm down, everyone, I am Du Yan, member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee and director of the new district. If you have any situation, you can tell me now!" It's wrong for you to confront the police officers so directly! " "Where did this stupid kid come from to serve as a county leader? "A worker shouted in the crowd, "It's okay if we don't have a leader, and we let some idiot lie to us. We won't agree! " "If you don't agree, let the county leaders solve the problem. We want to see Secretary Li and County Magistrate Guo! "There was another shout from the crowd. "What, you don't believe that I am a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee? Then let me ask you, do you know Director Liu? He is definitely not fake. Let him say a few words. " Du Yan handed the microphone to Liu Laofei. Liu Laofei took the microphone and wanted to imitate Du Yan and jump on the car hood, but he was too fat and could only stand in the car and shout loudly: "Yes, this is It is Director Du who has just arrived in the county and is the new district director of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. " Liu Laofei's words are still very effective. First of all, the workers believe that he, the police chief, will not tell lies, and then the police's intimidation itself makes people a little scared. For a while, although they still felt that Du Yan was young, It¡¯s unreliable, but the voice can¡¯t help but become softer. ¡°Okay, if you have any questions, you can tell me. I believe that the workers and masters of our old heavy machinery factory are reasonable, and so are the police officers who locked the factory doors. In order to reflect on the situation, now that I have this opportunity, I can talk about it! "Du Yan raised the microphone and shouted to the crowd. "Director Du, can you make the decision on how we respond to you? Let Secretary Li and County Magistrate Guo do it. "Although they recognized Du Yan's identity as the leader, people still felt uneasy looking at that young baby face, so someone simply asked him directly so rudely. "I am just under the supervision of Secretary Li, County Mayor Guo and the county committee. "I have been entrusted to talk to you," Du Yan said in the direction of the voice. "Besides, since we are all old people who have worked in the factory for a long time, we should know the organizational principles. Even if Secretary Li and County Magistrate Guo come, We can only listen to everyone's opinions and then discuss and resolve them by the Standing Committee. This is an organizational rule. If someone tells you at that time that it can be solved and then immediately makes the decision, then let me tell you, he is just trying to treat you like a fool. "As he spoke, Du Yan jumped off the hood of the car, pushed aside the two policemen who were about to block him, and walked towards the crowd. "If you have anything to say, just tell me. The workers of the old heavy machinery factory are all Well done, to tell you the truth, I am the son of a worker in an old heavy machinery factory. My father is Du Zhenhai, who works in the machining section. Does anyone know him? " "Are you the son of Duan Chang Lao? "A young worker asked while looking Du Yan up and down, but there was a look of distrust in his eyes. "I heard that Du Chang's son was arrested by the country for corruption. Why are you here? " Listening to the young worker's words, the crowd around him burst into an uproar! People crowded forward one after another, and some even shouted: "If there is no problem with him, can he be arrested? Now that he is out and has been promoted, can he speak for us workers? " "You can't listen to him! "You can't listen, they are all in the same group!" " The workers, who had calmed down a bit, immediately burst out with more shouts. Faced with this situation, Du Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that his story would spread so widely. Everyone in the old machinery factory knew about it. But at this time it was too late for him to do anything for himself, he had to find a way as soon as possibleGet this situation under control. What¡¯s worse is that he saw Liu Laofei in the distance picking up the walkie-talkie and continuing to shout. He knew that if the situation could not be controlled as soon as possible, Liu Laofei might really have to mobilize the prepared armed police. "Xiao Gao, shut up!" A roar suddenly sounded from the crowd. As people moved aside, Du Yan was surprised to see his father, Du Zhenhai, striding over. Du Zhenhai¡¯s face was full of anger, and the skin exposed outside his clothes was red because of anger. He walked with such a vigorous look that made the young worker who questioned Du Yan before couldn¡¯t help but look weak. "Everyone, listen, Du Yan is my son Du Zhenhai. Let me ask you, do you believe that I, Du Zhenhai, will have a corrupt son? Or do you believe that the country will let a wrong person continue to be a cadre?" Du Zhenhai asked loudly, He reached out and hugged Du Yan's shoulders, and then he turned around and said to Du Yan, "I don't care what others say. Son, I believe you did nothing wrong!" Du Zhenhai's words made the workers around him feel at a loss for a moment. Du Zhenhai's The reputation of the Old Heavy Machinery Factory is obvious to all. As an old worker who was the first to build the factory after retiring from the army, Du Zhenhai¡¯s generation has devoted almost all his life to the Old Heavy Machinery Factory, and Du Zhenhai is one of the most outstanding performers. Seeing Du Zhenhai's trust in his son, the workers couldn't help but be a little undecided. Du Zhenhai's last words also hit the workers' minds. Will the country allow a person who has made mistakes or even committed a crime to continue to be a cadre? Thinking about this, the mood of the workers gradually cooled down, which made Du Yan unexpectedly and secretly frightened. He did not expect his father to suddenly appear, and he did not expect that the rumors about him would spread so widely. In addition, he was also secretly glad that workers at this time were still very simple. If in later generations, some people might say, "Those who make no mistakes cannot be cadres." "Okay, everyone may have a little misunderstanding about me. I can understand this, but please also note that accusing others of corruption without any evidence is legally called defamation." Du Yan's tone became stern. Before The accident had shaken the image he had just established in the minds of the workers, and he had to rely on his father's appearance to regain his dignity as soon as possible. "I can also tell you that I don't care about the slander against me personally, but for leading cadres, I don't care. Defamation involves the prestige and image of the Pingling County Party Committee. "Hearing Du Yan's words, the workers couldn't help showing a hint of fear, and the young worker who had made the most noise couldn't help but burrow into the crowd. Seeing that the mood of the workers was slightly calm, Du Yan immediately took the time to walk through the crowd and walked to the factory door. Looking at the locked factory door, he said to several workers who looked like they were leading the way: "You guys do this No, everything will be fine if you just lock the door, or are you going to let the old heavy machinery factory go on like this? What practical problems will it solve? " "Du, Director Du, there is nothing we can do," said one. The worker frowned and said, "We just want the county leaders to come and take a look. The old heavy machinery factory can't just disappear." "Then we need to open the door even more. You block people from other accounting firms inside, that is. What was reasonable has become unreasonable." Du Yan's expression became stern. The masses in this era still have a deep fear of leaders. After hearing Du Yan's words, several workers couldn't help but look uneasy. "Open the factory door. Since you have reason to be afraid, why don't you say it openly?" Du Yan waved his hand and looked directly at an old worker opposite who looked quite old. He had noticed before that this old worker was with his father. He came here, and others treated him with the same respect as their father. "Director Du is right. We have reason to be afraid. Open the factory door." After hesitating for a while, the old worker finally said to the worker next to him. Through him, he said to Du Yan, "Director Du, I am the deputy director of the assembly workshop. My surname is Gou. "Everyone is blocking the factory yard this time not to cause trouble, but to get an explanation." "Director Gou, I have heard about you, the old man who joined the factory with my father, and you two are the only ones in the entire Hexi Province who have obtained the same certificate from the same factory. A typical example of an advanced individual in the province." Du Yan reached out and shook his hand. The reason he remembered it so clearly was because his father once said that this man made a lot of jokes because of his surname. When he was young, he was called Xiao Gou. He was called Lao Gou, and even his wife pointed at Lao Gou and his son and said that they had two dogs at home, a puppy and an old dog. But this does not affect Lao Gou's reputation among workers at all. Like his father, Lao Gou is the kind of person who devotes his whole life to the old heavy machinery factory. The moment he walked into the factory gate, Du Yan felt a little emotional. In his memory, the old heavy machinery factory was later sold at a low price. One and a half million, only one and a half million! A heavy machinery factory worth hundreds of millions was sold to an individual, and this was followed by the carving up of state-owned assets that became popular later.The feast of ? is neither the beginning nor the end! After knocking hard several times, the closed door of the general office was slightly opened. Seeing Du Yan and the workers standing at the door, the people inside were shocked. If they hadn't seen a policeman standing next to them, , he probably closed the door immediately. With several workers' representatives, Du Yan walked into the second floor of the general office. He had been here before because he asked for house repairs. When he walked into a relatively large office and saw a group of people gathered inside, he estimated that these The person should be from that accounting firm. Seeing Du Yan and others walking in, those people couldn't help but panic. When someone introduced Du Yan as a member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee to solve the problem, these people didn't believe it at first, and then a man with neatly combed hair and an arrogant look called himself Meng. I immediately found an outlet. He spoke in an authentic Beijing style: "I said, what's going on in your place? We're here to evaluate you, and we're here to help you. If you don't appreciate it, forget it. Why are there so many workers besieging us? What is this? Director Du, right? Let me tell you, our Magotan Firm is one of the best formal firms in the capital. We have so many people doing business with us that we have never seen people like you here. , It¡¯s true that poor people come out of poverty.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± A middle-aged worker took a step forward and was immediately scolded by Du Zhenhai. Du Yan glanced at him and thought he looked familiar but didn't think about it. "Mr. Sui, things always have to be solved," Du Yan said lightly. In fact, he didn't care about the people in these offices. What he cared about was the evaluation report that the workers said, "Our workers heard that you are paying heavy taxes." The machine factory deliberately lowered its assets during the evaluation, which led to some misunderstandings. I hope you can give a more reasonable explanation on this matter so that everyone can communicate with each other and understand each other. " "Director Du. "What do you mean? Our evaluation is subject to confidentiality regulations. It cannot be leaked until there is a formal report. This is responsible for the customer." Meng's face changed. The reason why he looked at Du Yan before. He became arrogant when he brought the police to rescue them, and he was indeed confident. His many years of deep background in the capital and the strength of the people who entrusted him this time made him believe that the cadres in these small counties in the mainland must treat him with respect. , but now it seems that something is wrong. "You should be responsible for customer service, but the authenticity of your evaluation report also needs to be tested by us. In addition, Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory is a state-owned enterprise. Do you understand the meaning of state-owned enterprise?" Du Yan stared at this. The eyes on his face became sharp, and he slowly turned around and pointed at the workers behind him, "According to the ownership system of production means in our country, Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory belongs to each of them, and any one of them has the right to take control of your work." The assessment report raises questions. Now your arrival has caused a strong reaction from the workers. Although we have the responsibility to protect your safety, the actual cause of the matter must also be taken into account, so I ask you to provide information that caused this. The evidence of this incident does not hinder your commitment to your customers." The man surnamed Meng looked at Du Yan in astonishment. As a human being, he had already guessed that Du Yan was simply a drunkard and his intention was not to drink. It¡¯s just for the evaluation report in my hand! But hand over the evaluation report? When he thought of the data above, the man surnamed Meng believed that anyone with a little bit of common sense, not to mention professional accounting, could see that this report was simply not something that could be put on the table. "Wait a minute, I want to make a call." The man surnamed Meng suddenly changed his expression and said in a strong tone. When Du Yan nodded in agreement, he picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number and whispered a few words. After a while, he handed the phone to Du Yan with a proud smile on his face, "Please pick it up." The workers looked nervous. Although they didn't know who this person called, he seemed to have some background. Not small. Du Yan took the phone and announced his name. There was silence on the phone for a while, and then a deep and depressed voice came: "It turns out to be Director Du from the new district. I am Zhang Wenliang, deputy secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee." Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Not giving in Listening to the seemingly calm voice on the phone, but with a faint hint of pressure, Du Yan's mind quickly flashed through Zhang Tao's arrogant face, as well as the sanctimonious look of Zhang Wenliang, who looked exactly like Zhang Tao on TV. "Hello, Secretary Zhang." Du Yan spoke calmly, "What instructions do you have?" "Comrade Du Yan, I would like to know what happened at Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory?" Zhang Wenliang's voice was very calm. , it didn't sound like he had any special emotions, but the casualness when he asked this question already revealed a vague dissatisfaction. "Secretary Zhang, please wait a moment," Du Yan took the microphone and said to the people in the room, "Please leave for a moment." The workers immediately walked out of the room, and other people in the office also left, except for the one named Meng. The man simply sat down and looked at Du Yan with a provocative and sarcastic look. "I told everyone to leave," Du Yan looked at the man surnamed Meng and said coldly, "Clear the place immediately." The man surnamed Meng jumped up and shouted: "I'm right here, I want to talk to Secretary Li! "Director Du will let you go now!" A policeman came over and grabbed Meng's shoulder. Before he could yell a second time, he had already dragged him out of the room. "Secretary Zhang, it's easier to talk now." Du Yan said calmly into the microphone. He heard a faint exhalation coming from the microphone. He knew that Zhang Wenliang must have heard clearly what just happened here through the microphone. , and should be very angry, but Du Yan wanted this effect, and he had no intention of letting Zhang Wenliang be a soft persimmon from the beginning. "Secretary Zhang, I think Mr. Meng from Magotan Office has just introduced this to you. What happened." Du Yan left no room for Zhang Wenliang to make excuses. When he heard that the caller was Zhang Wenliang, the doubts in Du Yan's mind gradually became clearer, and at the same time, he finally gained some understanding of the strange atmosphere at the county committee meeting. As a municipal enterprise, the asset appraisal of the Heavy Machinery Factory has obviously been approved by the municipal party committee. From the direct call made by the man surnamed Meng to Zhang Wenliang, we can guess Zhang Wenliang's attitude on this matter. More importantly, There is clearly something fishy about this assessment, and Zhang Wenliang may have played a role in it. "Secretary Zhang, the workers at the heavy machinery factory have questions about the evaluation report submitted by Magotan. This is related to the future livelihood of thousands of workers in the heavy machinery factory and the value of state-owned assets. In order to calm the workers' emotions, I asked Magotan to We should make the relevant evaluation report public and ask the Municipal Party Committee to agree to allow a third party to conduct supervisory evaluation." Du Yan expressed his thoughts in one breath. He knew that Zhang Wenliang must not be blocked at this time, otherwise even if he wanted to, It has become difficult to find any clues from Magotan. "Comrade Du Yan, you are here to solve the problem. Who allowed you to agree to the conditions proposed by the workers?" Zhang Wenliang's voice immediately rose. He never expected that this young boy would come up before he could speak. "In addition, the Heavy Machinery Factory is a municipal enterprise. What right do you have in Pingling to require others to announce the evaluation results? Is this your intention or the intention of the Pingling County Committee? In your eyes, does the municipal committee still have a superior?" Zhang Wenliang's voice became extremely stern at the end. Although he was not in front of him, Du Yan could imagine what he looked like. "I'm sorry, Secretary Zhang, you may have misunderstood. I agree with the municipal committee's decision. I just doubt the assessment of Magotan Firm. As for who you mean by this, I admit that this is my personal opinion, but Secretary Li also Please understand that the workers of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory and their families account for about one-tenth of the total population of Pingling. These people are now authentic Pingling people, and their lives directly affect the social stability of Pingling, so I can't help but take it seriously." Although Du Yan spoke calmly, he didn't give in at all. He knew that since he had already encountered Zhang Wenliang on this matter, there was absolutely no possibility of going back. "Du Yan, you are a typical example of having no superiors." Zhang Wenliang's tone has become ferocious. He has the same thoughts as Du Yan. Now that he is facing each other, there is absolutely no possibility for him to give in to his superiors. "This matter I I will say hello to the Hengling County Committee. Now you must immediately arrange for someone to escort the relevant personnel of the Magotan Office to leave the heavy machinery factory. During this period, you are responsible for their safety. If there is a problem, I will only ask you!" "The staff of Magotan! You can leave," Du Yan said without giving in. "But the evaluation report must be re-evaluated by a third party. Secretary Zhang, you should know that the workers at the old heavy machine factory are all from state-owned enterprises and have high self-awareness. Any behavior that may cause damage to state property is absolutely unacceptable. If the assessment report cannot be made public, it will be a very serious incident if workers jump to higher levels to petition collectively, especially if Governor Gao is about to?This kind of thing happened during our inspection in Taihua. I would like to ask Secretary Zhang, who should bear this responsibility? " "Du Yan! You are so arrogant! You are definitely in the right position with the municipal party committee¡¯s decision! "Zhang Wenliang finally couldn't stand it anymore. As a leader, it is necessary to remain calm, but once a subordinate really challenges his authority, unless he is absolutely sure that he can raise his hand and crush the opponent to death, this will The humiliation of being directly ignored is more difficult for the leader to accept than being contradicted by a subordinate who does not know how to advance or retreat, because it shows that the other party does not take him seriously. Various signs indicate that this Du Yan has something. It¡¯s hard to explain the background clearly, but his current attitude is what makes Zhang Wenliang unbearable. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Secretary Zhang. I reiterate that I firmly support the municipal committee¡¯s resolution, but I have the right to express doubts about Magotan¡¯s evaluation results. Thousands of workers at Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory have the right to express doubts." After saying that, Du Yan turned the microphone away from his ear slightly, and then asked in a calm tone, "Do you have any other instructions?" If it weren't for me, I would have solved the problem. " After saying that, Du Yan ignored Zhang Wenliang's roar coming from the phone and hung up the phone with a "click". "If you break your face, there is nothing to worry about. What's more, Du Yan believes that even without this Based on the grievances between himself and Zhang Tao, Zhang Wenliang would not have any good impressions of him. In this case, he would just make the conflict public, and in this way, there may be more exciting things to come after he walks out of the office. Du Yan saw the crowd standing in the corridor. "Director Du, the people from Magotan are all in the room over there. "The policeman who dragged the man named Meng out before squeezed through the crowd and came to Du Yan to report. "Good job," Du Yan looked at the policeman and thought he looked familiar. Then he remembered, "You are from the West Market Place, right? , the director is Wang Lianyi? "Yes, Director Du," the policeman was very excited because Du Yan recognized him, "I was at the West Market Office before, but now I have been transferred to the Qingheqiao Office. My name is Jing Haozhi." " "Xiaojing, not bad. "Du Yan said something, which made Xiaojing, who was older than him, feel excited again. Although what was said in the room was not very clear to the outside, people outside could also hear it from the intermittent sound. The conversation between Director Du and the person on the phone probably wasn't going well. Although the man named Meng was kicked out by the police, his still arrogant look made these workers guess that the person on the phone must have a good background. , maybe some big boss. ¡°Director Du, how are you doing? "Master Lao Gou looked at Du Yan with some worry. After so many years in the factory, he also knew that once the leader gave an order, it would be difficult to change and not allowed to violate it. Seeing Du Yan's expression without answering, just looking at him, Master Gou's heart has actually grown cold. After all, Du Yan is young and has a bright future, so why would he be willing to destroy his career for the sake of the heavy machinery factory? "Master Gou, you and my dad are seniors in the factory. Are you willing?" Do you want to hear what I say? " Du Yan's question made Master Lao Gou feel even colder. He looked at Du Yan blankly, and then sighed helplessly: "Director Du, are you asking us to let them go? " "Everyone is in a good mood, but private detention is illegal. Strictly speaking, this has violated the law," Du Yan said sternly to the workers, "But the problems everyone raised must also be solved. Our old heavy machinery factory I have made contributions to the country for so many years, and everyone has pretended that no one can embezzle them. Regarding the evaluation issues raised by everyone, I will report directly to the county committee. Please rest assured. If necessary, we will invite all workers and masters to participate in the evaluation team. After all, as the owners of the factory, everyone has a say. " "Director Du, are you saying that this matter is not over? "A worker's eyes lit up a little. "Yes, evaluation is a very detailed and time-consuming task. It is impossible for just a few people to come and write and draw and get the result. If necessary, we will do a second evaluation, or even ask for a second evaluation. It is very common to hire a third party to supervise the entire evaluation process abroad. "Du Yan said to the worker with a smile, and then he looked embarrassed, "But everyone must also understand the difficulties of the county. After all, the heavy machinery factory is a municipal enterprise. There are many problems that the county can only coordinate, but please believe that the county I will definitely try my best. " "Can't the county solve it? Then let¡¯s go find the city! "A young worker shouted loudly, "Let's go to the city to respond to the problem. " "Yes, go to the city to report the problem! "When the crowd's emotions are aroused, as long as someone stands up and calls out, a suggestion that may be unreasonable or even unrealistic may be regarded as a good way to solve the problem. However, for many years, it has been unreliable to find leaders to respond to problems. Do you know the solution that lasts for many years?At this time, it became a seemingly omnipotent and good solution. Among the workers, some people seemed to feel that this suggestion was inappropriate, such as Du Zhenhai, but the louder voices suppressed his voice and those of the mature and prudent old workers, and in their hearts they did not think that they could find a market. Li must be wrong, but they were just afraid of causing a greater impact, so their voices quickly disappeared among the increasingly louder calls. "Comrades, this is not good!" Du Yan took the microphone from a policeman and said loudly. His voice buzzed in the corridor, covering the workers' voices. "The problem has not been solved in the county. Before, everyone went to the city to file a complaint, which had a very bad impact. I believe this was not your original intention. I promise you that if the county cannot solve the problem, I will not stop you, but please give the county some help. Time, and at the same time, the evaluation work of the heavy machinery factory will be carried out to everyone's satisfaction. " "And what about our family area? The factory wants to take back our house, and they are also talking about building new houses. Property rights reform, will the house we have lived in for decades just disappear?" A middle-aged worker suddenly shouted, pointing to a half-open door at the end of the corridor and asked loudly, and the door immediately slammed. "Ask them, ask the people in the General Office what they said. Is it reasonable for them to ask us to spend our own money to buy the house we live in now?" "Comrade, this is your second big question today. "Yes," Du Yan nodded to the worker, "I heard about the fact that the General Office is taking back the house in the family area. I believe the factory will coordinate with everyone. It is impossible to solve so many problems at once today." How about we elect a few representatives and then negotiate with the factory, and the county acts as a mediator for everyone? " "The county won't favor the factory, right?" said the middle-aged worker again. After asking, when he saw Du Yan looking towards him, he backed away in fear. "Master, please don't forget that I am also a son of the old heavy machinery factory. I know what kind of house everyone lives in and what kind of house they live in." After Du Yan said this, he smiled at first, and then his face gradually became serious. "But I also ask everyone Note that since you want to communicate with the county, you must follow the rules. Now I ask everyone to make way and let the people from the accounting firm leave. At least on this matter, we must let them know that the workers of our old heavy machinery factory It's reasonable." Du Yan's words made the workers look at each other, not knowing what to do for a while. Finally, Master Lao Gou asked Du Yan for the microphone and shouted loudly to the hesitant workers: "Everyone heard it. Director Du has promised that everyone will re-evaluate the factory. Everyone knows that this is related to The interests of all of us, as well as the issue of housing in the family area, Director Du has also given a reply. Now it depends on what we do. We all should not embarrass the heavy machinery factory and make way to cooperate with the work of the county. "The workers were silent at first, and then some people started to get out of the way, and then more and more people got out of the way. Finally, the people inside who had been secretly watching the situation outside opened the door, and several office staff surnamed Meng came to the room. Under the leadership of the man, some trembling people walked through the middle of the aisle where the crowd had given way. "You can leave, but you have to keep your evaluation information about the heavy machinery factory," Du Yan said coldly. Now that he has caught Zhang Wenliang's clues, he can't let go easily, although Du Yan has no hope at all based on just this. Zhang Wenliang, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, could be brought down by something irrelevant. However, having such a document in his hands would always make Zhang Wenliang feel uncomfortable. The most important thing is that he publicly requested this document in front of so many people. It is impossible for Zhang Wenliang to tamper with it even if he wanted to. The man named Meng held back his gaze and looked at Du Yan for a while, and finally reluctantly handed over several thick files. After opening them and checking that they were correct, Du Yan immediately had people bring seals to sew the files, and at the same time used The pen covered the entire seal and wrote the words "Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory Seal" at the interface of the file. "I will bring these materials back to the county committee. At the same time, I hope you don't have any worries and rest in Pingling for a few days. Maybe the new evaluation work will begin soon." Du Yan had a smile on his face, but this smile In the eyes of those people from Magotan Office, there seemed to be endless ridicule. When the car Du Yan was sitting in left the heavy machinery factory, Du Yan sat in the car and looked at the workers who were still sparsely standing in the factory yard. What surprised him was that none of the leaders of the heavy machinery factory had been seen from the beginning to the end. People came out, and Hu Weiping, who was responsible for finding these leaders, came back and said that the door of the factory office building was locked. Not to mention the deputy director, and even the director of the factory office had not seen him at all. This made Du Yan feel helpless about the current situation of the heavy machinery factory, but at the same time he had deeper thoughts about this incident. From the main leaders in the factory to avoid showing up and associate it with the countyThe strange situation at the committee made Du Yan feel that he might have stepped into a deep whirlpool unintentionally. When Du Yan's car returned to the county party committee compound, the vehicles of various agencies in the yard had disappeared. The entire county party committee compound seemed unusually quiet, even so quiet that it made people feel uneasy. After Hu Weiping got out of the car, he looked at Du Yan with some worry. When he came back, Liu Laofei found an excuse to take another car. From this point on, he could feel that something was wrong. Now he looked at the unusual thing in the county party committee compound. In the calmness, Hu Weiping could already feel the depressing atmosphere before a mountain rain was about to come. When he got out of the car, Du Yan took a deep breath. He raised his head and looked at the slightly dilapidated Pingling County Party Committee Building. He remembered what Ding Bingxian said: "I have been here for too long, and my spirit and soul have been damaged." I have become boneless." I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. ¡°If I stay in such an environment for a long time, will my spirit and soul lose all my bones? Du Yan asked himself this in his mind, and then shook his head. It was unnecessary to think about this at this time. What he had to face next was not just the anger of one person, but the thundering anger of the entire Pingling County Committee. Behind this thunder, there may be an even more terrifying anger, and that may be a certain dignitary from the capital. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 11 Chapter 11 What to do and what to do When he walked outside the door of Li Peizheng's office, the secretary stood up immediately when he saw Du Yan as if to say something, but then walked around the table a few steps to the door, knocked twice, opened the door and walked in. Li Peizheng's calm voice came from the office: "It's Director Du, please come in." Listening to this simple sentence, Du Yan felt that the distance between himself and Li Peizheng seemed to be getting farther and farther. Entering the room, Du Yan saw Li Peizheng sitting in the chair moved to the window and looking out the window. Hearing the voice behind him, Li Peizheng slowly turned his head to look at Du Yan, and then waved for him to sit on the sofa next to him. . "Xiao Du, we have known each other for more than a year," Li Peizheng said with a hint of emotion in his voice. He did not look at Du Yan but was still paying attention to the green branches in the yard outside. "Time flies so fast. I remember that we When we first met, you read an article to me, and we have known each other since then. " "Secretary Li, I will never forget the help you gave me. Without your promotion and support, I would not be where I am now. "Me." Du Yan said sincerely. Although the advantage of coming back made Du Yan believe that even if he didn't have the opportunity of Li Peizheng at that time, he would still have enough opportunities and he would never be as mediocre as in the previous life. But just as he said He said that Li Peizheng¡¯s support has indeed made him what he is now to some extent. ¡°Secretary Li, I have also not forgotten what you told me before I went to Daqing Township, the most basic principles and conduct that a cadre should abide by. "Li Peizheng nodded slightly and touched his pocket behind him. Du Yan stood up and walked to the table, picked up a cigarette and lit it for him. Looking at Du Yan's habitual action, Li Peizheng's eyes There was a flash of tenderness. "Xiao Du, do you have any conflicts with Secretary Zhang's son?" Li Peizheng asked softly after taking a puff of cigarette. Seeing the look in Du Yan's eyes, he chuckled, "I still know many things, and Pingling also That's it, what you should know and what you shouldn't know, everyone heard it once it was passed on to a few people." Du Yan nodded. He knew that Zhang Wenliang should have called Pingling since he first entered. The weird atmosphere that I felt when I was in the county party committee compound can be felt. It stands to reason that when I go to solve the problem of the old heavy machinery factory, I should report to the county committee when I come back. But now not only are all the cadres who attended the meeting are missing, Even the members of the Standing Committee were nowhere to be seen. I guess a lot of things must have happened between the time I put down the phone and the time I came back. "Secretary Li, there is indeed a conflict between Zhang Tao and I, but it has nothing to do with personal grudges." Du Yan looked serious. "I went to the old heavy machinery factory this time and found many problems. Some of them may develop into serious problems if they are not solved. A serious social problem." Li Peizheng nodded noncommittally and motioned for Du Yan to continue. "Secretary Li, the workers of the old heavy machinery factory surrounded the relevant personnel sent by the city to do the assessment. This matter is not simple, or it has developed to a point where even the workers cannot tolerate it," Du Yan said Put the information left by Magotan on the table. "I would like to ask an experienced accounting firm to review these things. Secretary Li, you know that our masses have always been the easiest to satisfy, but we must be able to accept that workers will not be so easily satisfied." Intervening in the decision of the upper management of the factory, but the occurrence of this situation indicates that some kind of problem may have occurred. I think requiring re-examination by a third-party accounting department is not only needed to calm the workers' emotions, but also our understanding of the old heavy machinery factory. A responsible attitude for thousands of workers and tens of thousands of their families. " Li Peizheng listened calmly and did not interrupt Du Yan from beginning to end. He stretched out his fingers and tapped lightly on the closed file bag. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Du Yan. Yan asked: "Xiao Du, you have to know that the Heavy Machinery Factory is only a municipal enterprise in Pingling, and Magotan Office is an asset review organization directly entrusted by the city. What you did is a blatant violation of the resolution of the municipal party committee and government. You "Do you know?" "I know." Du Yan stood up from the sofa. He stood next to Li Peizheng and looked out the window at the green but still jagged branches. "I'm doing it." Before making this decision, I already knew what I was doing and the possible consequences. But Secretary Li, maybe it is because of your previous teachings to me and my basic responsibility as a person that I have to do this. "Secretary Li, you always have to do something in your life, and there are always things you must do even if you know it may be harmful to you." "Xiao Du, you" Li Peizheng looked up slightly. He looked at Du Yan beside him but couldn't say anything for a moment. He felt that he was in front of Du Yan as if he was sitting and Du Yan was standing. He had to raise his head to see Du Yan's face. "Secretary Zhang I called just now. He was not losing his temper. He was directly accusing the Pingling County Party Committee of being resistant to the city's decision to restructure the old heavy machinery factory. This is a very serious position issue. Xiao Du, you must be prepared.?, Secretary Zhang may have come down in the past few days, but this time he came with bad intentions. " "Secretary Li, don't worry, I know what I am doing, and I can express my opinion on this matter, which is entirely my personal behavior and has nothing to do with the Pingling County Committee's attitude towards the city's resolution. "Du Yan said calmly. "Xiao Du, don't be emotional," Li Peizheng was slightly angry. He stood up and walked back to his desk. "As a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, your attitude largely reflects the Pingling County Party Committee's decision on this matter. No one can avoid this position. After Secretary Zhang comes down, should he make a decision or should he take off his hat? These are also the attitudes of the city and are definitely not against you personally. You have to understand this. "I know Secretary Li," Du Yan nodded and then asked, "If there is nothing else, Secretary Li, I will temporarily file this evaluation report and wait for the follow-up investigation results. Do you think that is okay?" " Li Peizheng looked at Du Yan in silence for a while, and finally nodded silently. Seeing Du Yan walking out of the office with the file bag, Li Peizheng sighed softly at first, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally picked up the phone on the table and dialed He called the number of Tongyang, the provincial capital: "Minister Qu, I am Pei Zheng. There is something I want to report to you. " Seeing Du Yan walking out of Li Peizheng's office, the people passing by couldn't help but have different expressions. The news that the Standing Committee's enlarged meeting ended abruptly because of a phone call from Secretary Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee had already spread throughout the compound. This When they saw Du Yan, many people were already thinking that Pingling might have a county committee member with the shortest term. ¡°Director Du, are you back? "Deputy County Magistrate Geng Zhen came over from the opposite side. When he saw Du Yan, Geng Zhen laughed and said hello. The two stood in the middle of the corridor and chatted for a few words. Then Geng Zhen seemed to remember what he had to do. Before he was done, he said hello and turned around to leave. Looking at Geng Zhen's back, Du Yan couldn't help but think thoughtfully. Geng Zhen's office was on the second floor near the government department. He wouldn't just wander into the corridor if nothing happened. Most of the time, he would talk to people on the phone or ask his clerks to do it. Du Yan also didn't believe that Geng Zhen would come to the corridor to drink the cool breeze in the winter, so it was such a coincidence that he met him as soon as he came out. Geng Zhen, what the hell. Geng Zhen, the executive deputy county magistrate, is thirty-seven years old this year. He is not older than the county-level cadres, but he will be a little nervous if he doesn't pay attention. As a migrant, Geng Zhen said. He also has some knowledge. Some people say that he came to Pingling just to take over the position of County Magistrate Guo Songlin. Now it seems that Deputy County Magistrate Geng is not a simple person. At least he dares to show his face at this time. It can be seen that Either he was brave or he had some ulterior motive. When he knocked on Ding Bingxian's door, Du Yan saw a different scene. Ding Bingxian was writing vigorously. When he saw Du Yan coming in, Ding Bingxian pointed at the chair with his left hand. Then he continued to write. Instead of sitting down, Du Yan walked to the table and watched Ding Bingxian write. Although the characters were regular, there were ferocious handwritings between the outlines. Du Yan couldn't help but smile. If you don't relax, your roots will remain in the broken rock. It has endured thousands of blows but is still strong, regardless of the winds from east to west, north and south. Du Yan recited softly and then clapped his hands softly, "The word Uncle Ding really becomes more and more dignified the more you write it, the older and stronger it becomes." " "Getting stronger with age. I'm only in my early forties this year," Ding Bingxian shook his head disapprovingly. "The ancients said that people over seventy can still be a little arrogant. Are you saying that I'm old? " "Don't dare, don't dare, Uncle Ding's treasured sword is not worthy of his old age. " Du Yan said casually, and then he remembered a secret thing about Ding Bingxian, and couldn't help but look at Ding Bingxian with a strange look. In Du Yan's memory of his previous life, it was probably around this time that Ding Hongwei encountered something very depressing. If it weren¡¯t for the country¡¯s family planning policy, his father would have almost asked him to become an older brother. ¡°Xiaoyan, it¡¯s quite stressful. "Ding Bingxian asked. Seeing that Du Yan's expression still didn't show anything strange, Ding Bingxian couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The young man in front of him has become more mature and is no longer the young boy before." Deputy Secretary Zhang from the city called. , the fury of thunder can also be felt through the phone receiver. " Listening to Ding Bingxian's deliberately wordy tone, Du Yan nodded silently. Zhang Wenliang's anger can be imagined. This is not only because his authority as deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee has been slighted, but more importantly, the possible hidden tricks in it have been exposed. After all, it is still very sensitive to wantonly embezzle such a huge amount of national assets at this time, and it is inevitable that there will be some guilty conscience. A few years later, with the advent of the so-called restructuring wave, the blatant embezzlement of national assets has become an almost A semi-public feast, and this feast was accompanied by some high-sounding oaths. "Xiao Du, are you sure there is something going on here? "Ding Bingxian's expression gradually became serious, and heIn the past, he could be calm and calm no matter what situation he faced, and even when he suffered the biggest setback in his career, he could deal with it calmly. Now, although Ding Bingxian still seems casual, there is a faint twinkle in his eyes. The light showed how seriously he took this matter. "Uncle Ding, this is an issue related to the assets of the entire heavy machinery factory worth hundreds of millions and the fate of tens of thousands of employees' families. Uncle Ding, this is a major event involving tens of thousands of people, and it will affect the stability of the entire Pingling. "When it came to business, Du Yan also became serious, "I will temporarily archive the evaluation report, and then request a third party to do a review and estimate. Uncle Ding, I believe that the assets of the old heavy machine factory must have been deliberately underestimated, but I don't know how to do it now. What is clear is how the workers know. For example, take my dad. Although they, the older generation of workers, do care about the factory, they are unlikely to be aware of the damage this estimate will cause to the factory. Are you here" "Someone in the evaluation team is doing something," Ding Bingxian said lightly, "You must know that some people are not monolithic." Hearing this, Du Yan smiled and said casually. "I met Deputy County Magistrate Geng on the way here just now, and we chatted for a few words." "What a coincidence," Ding Bingxian also smiled, "Xiao Du, you know, as soon as Deputy Secretary Zhang called, Guo County The mayor also answered the call, and then County Magistrate Guo proposed that the county committee temporarily adjourn the meeting. Xiao Du, it seems that you have really stirred up a hornet's nest. Why are you afraid this time? " "Uncle Ding, you wrote this word? It's getting better and better." Du Yan answered the question, then gently wrapped the rice paper with the ink on it and put it under his ribs. I make a living by selling Uncle Ding's calligraphy. ""Rogue." Ding Bing pointed at Du Yan with his finger and scolded him with a hint of hesitation. Seemingly knowing what Ding Bingxian wanted to ask, Du Yan continued: "I just reported to Secretary Li. On this matter, I believe in Secretary Li's principles and position." Ding Bingxian nodded silently and waved, Du Yan knew this I was just killing myself. I didn¡¯t say anything else, just said hello and quietly exited. When the door was closed tightly, Ding Bingxian, who had always looked calm, suddenly raised his arm and punched the table with a loud "bang"! Du Yan handed the sealed evaluation report to the archives. To his surprise, the person in charge of the archives was Xiao Liu, who was scolded by Lao Yu at the reception banquet. Seeing Du Yan, Xiao Liu's face turned red. She hurriedly checked that the seal was complete, stamped a temporary archive stamp on the seal, and then hurriedly issued the receipt. She kept her head down during the whole process, as if she was afraid of Du Yan. As if seeing her face. Xiaoliu's look made Du Yan a little funny. Looking at such an innocent girl, and thinking of those women in later generations who, in order to be promoted, approached the leader, cared about the leader, and even kept a close distance from the leader from the moment they entered the unit, Du Yan could only I can feel that things in the world are changing rapidly. Du Yan did not go to other members of the Standing Committee. The confrontation with Zhang Wenliang at the Heavy Machinery Factory was estimated to have spread not only in Pingling officialdom, but also in the city. In this matter, whether Guo Songlin or Geng Zhen, no matter what their purpose is, Du Yan believes that they should just sit on the sidelines at the beginning. After Guo Songlin answered the phone, he suggested adjourning the meeting temporarily to watch. He came out, obviously he was instructed not to mix things up, and Geng Zhen¡¯s somewhat deliberate show of kindness may not be because he was instructed by someone behind the scenes. I think Taihua City should have started to become lively by now, maybe Deputy Secretary Zhang There are other variables in this trip to Pingling that may not be known. As soon as he walked out of the county party committee building, Du Yan saw Hu Weiping immediately come out of the communication room to greet him. What was a bit surprising was that Hu Weiping wrinkled up and opened the car door for Du Yan. This action made the people in the yard look at him. Wei Wei looked sideways. Speaking of which, even Secretary Li is not that big, right? He still needs the director of the town committee office to open the door for him? Du Yan glanced at Hu Weiping and got into the jeep without saying anything. Looking at the back of the car that drove away, people in the county committee compound couldn't help but secretly talk. At this moment, Du Yan, who was sitting in the car, had an imperceptible smile on his face. Some of his words were quite upright, but he didn't really have any intention of having a fight with Zhang Wenliang. ¡°At least at this time, it is not wise to confront Zhang Wenliang directly. After all, Zhang Wenliang is the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. As a subordinate, if he openly resists his superiors, even if he has a hundred more reasons, he will only end up with nothing. No leader will like subordinates who resist their superiors. For subordinates who cannot follow the rules on this issue, it is useless no matter how good they are. In fact, the better they are, the more likely they will be suppressed. This has nothing to do with the so-called right or wrong, but a question of whether to obey authority. Because Du Yan did just that, but this wasHow many people can clearly see the mystery in it? It was already dark when Du Yan got home. He knew that his father should be waiting for him at home, and he also wanted to ask his father something. Du Zhenhai was indeed at home. What surprised Du Yan was that Du Zhenhai, who never drank alcohol, asked Sang Shulan to cook a table of dishes and opened a bottle of wine. Seeing Du Yan return home, Du Zhenhai just asked his son to sit on the table. After drinking two glasses of wine, Du Zhenhai poured a slow glass for Sang Shulan. "Shulan, I toast you this cup," Du Zhenhai said to Sang Shulan, "Thank you for educating me and raising a good son. Our Xiaoyan did not embarrass our old Du family today. This is inseparable from your contribution." Sang Shulan took the wine and drank it with great pride. At this moment, her demeanor as the captain of the Iron Girls team was fully revealed: "Zhenhai, you are praising me. You taught me Xiaoyan. My son can do the right thing." It is also an example for you to be a good person." After saying that, Sang Shulan poured wine for her husband and son, and then said to Du Yan seriously: "Xiao Yan, remember, if you lose your official position because of this matter, don't worry. Complain, at most, you and your father will join the factory as a worker. We didn¡¯t expect you to be a high official at the beginning, and it¡¯s the same now.¡± ¡°Mom, if I really lose my official position because of this matter, I will just work in the factory as a worker in the future. I can¡¯t do it anymore,¡± Du Yan laughed. ¡°When the heavy machinery factory closes, even my dad will be laid off.¡± ¡°It won¡¯t be so serious,¡± Du Zhenhai looked at his son in surprise. He still looks at him now. I don¡¯t believe that some rumors say that the heavy machinery factory is really at the end of its rope. ¡°Didn¡¯t it mean that although the assets of the heavy machinery factory were underestimated in this evaluation, foreign investment is still needed? What everyone is dissatisfied about is if the assets are underestimated. Yes, once the factory becomes a joint venture with a foreign country, not only will there be problems with the ownership, but the name of the factory will also need to be changed. Not only us old workers can't stand this, but even the responsible young workers are unwilling to do so. But why do I listen to you? "It's more serious." Seeing his father's puzzled look, Du Yan's previous doubts became more serious. Just as he told Ding Bingxian, the workers at the old heavy machinery factory probably didn't know this. The real intention behind this assessment, it now seems that the reason why they moved was indeed the result of someone giving them some air. And this person obviously didn't want the workers to know the truth, but just wanted to take advantage of the workers' long-term feelings towards the factory. That¡¯s all. "Dad, tell me who told you that the asset assessment was lowered this time?" Although he didn't hold out much hope, Du Yan still asked. "I can't tell who said it, but it spread like that. As a result, Lao Gou and the others asked me and some old people from other factories to ask the factory leaders, but the factory leaders didn't answer directly at all, and even said this It was the city's decision, but things got worse and worse and ended up like this. " Listening to what his father said, Du Yan nodded silently. He had previously estimated that this was the news revealed by someone at the top of the factory, but now it seems that it should be included. There are other problems. There was a knock on the courtyard door outside. Sang Shulan was about to get up and open the door, but was suddenly stopped by Du Yan. "Mom, wait a minute," Du Yan said as he put his cup and bowl aside. Looking at his parents' stunned expressions, he smiled, "I'm going back to my room. If they're looking for me, just say I didn't go home." Go to the new district." Sang Shulan was stunned for a moment and then nodded in understanding. When she saw her son entering her house, she walked towards the door of the courtyard. When Du Yan returned to the house, he did not turn on the lights. He sat in the darkness and watched the people coming in from the yard outside. They first said a few words to Sang Shulan, and then entered the main room. Du Yan was a little surprised that the post and telecommunications office installed telephones so quickly, which made him sigh. It seems that the spirit of wholeheartedly serving the leaders has been deeply rooted in our cadres from the beginning. In my heart. Du Yan picked up the phone and dialed the number in the dark. After a beep, he heard a crisp and familiar voice from the other side of the phone: "Hello, I'm Zhao Xiaoyun." "Xiaoyun." "What are you doing at night?" Du Yan, who originally wanted to get down to business, realized that he seemed to be teasing people as soon as he opened his mouth. It was really strange that he seemed to be mature and dignified when he was with other people, but when he talked to Zhao Xiaoyun, he seemed to change immediately. Like a person. There was silence on the phone for a while. Just when Du Yan thought the call was about to be hung up, Zhao Xiaoyun's slightly cold voice came from the phone: "Why are you still calling? Aren't you afraid that my brother will find you?" "Xiaoyun" "Did your brother tell you?" Du Yan asked softly, feeling guilty. He knew that Zhao Youxun must have told Zhao Xiaoyun what he said he would not give up on Su Qian, which made him despise his uncle. elder brother. "He is my brother, of course he cares about me, unlike some?Eating, occupying, and staring, there are so many people who care. "Although Zhao Xiaoyun wanted to keep his tone as calm as possible, the strong sour smell could be felt from the phone. "Don't accuse people unfairly. I was just eating and occupying, not staring. Who do you think I was staring at? Already? "Du Yan chuckled. He liked Zhao Xiaoyun's sour look very much. Thinking of her look and her heroic appearance in military uniform, Du Yan suddenly felt a little hot. "Who else can I keep an eye on? " Zhao Xiaoyun stopped immediately after saying a word, and then snorted, "Eating and occupying it is not enough, if what you are eyeing also enters your mouth, then it would be better." " "Xiaoyun, I will talk to you affectionately later. I have something serious to talk to you this time. "Bah, who wants to listen to those dirty words of yours?" Zhao Xiaoyun's face turned red. In fact, she had a very good reason for hearing Du Yan say those frivolous words to her that sometimes made her blush and want to beat him up. But now Thinking of Du Yan's situation, she sighed softly, "You don't come to me when you have nothing to do. I've almost become your secretary. Just tell me anything." " "Can you check the background of Capital Magotan Accounting Firm for me, and find an accounting firm with good reliability and strong professionalism for me. "Du Yan said softly. "Maotan? " Zhao Xiaoyun asked somewhat unexpectedly, which made Du Yan realize that there might be something wrong: "Do you know this firm? " "Of course I know. This accounting firm is quite big. It is said that it was opened by a relative of Director Sui of the Machinery Department. Because it has a close relationship with the Machinery Department, it was quite active in doing asset estimation during the merger of ministries and commissions. " "Oh, it's really a big fish. "Du Yan laughed. Although he had roughly guessed how things should be, he just didn't expect these people to be really bold, or they haven't fully learned the so-called empty shells, trusteeships, and even internal and external collusion in later generations. The trick is more of a naked robbery with no technical content. "Does this firm have something to do with you?" Zhao Xiaoyun asked, "Be careful. Although Minister Sui of the Mechanical Department is not a big deal, the people behind him are powerful. Even the Song family does not want to offend easily." " "But what if their actions offend the interests of the Song family? " Du Yan asked lightly. He believed that Zhao Xiaoyun was still willing to provide him with some information about the Song family. "Of course they are two different things," Zhao Xiaoyun's tone immediately changed. "The Song family may not want to provoke them, but if they offend The Song family is not afraid either. " "Why do you sound like you are from the Song family? Don't forget, you are the daughter-in-law of my old Du family. "Du Yan said deliberately angrily. "The ghost is your old Du family's wife," Zhao Xiaoyun almost shouted, and then seemed to immediately lower his voice, "Don't be angry with me, tell you the situation over there and I will see how I can help you. . " "Maybe you can't do it on your own this time. I want to meet Mr. Qiao. "Du Yan said. "I knew you had bad intentions! "Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly said angrily, "You said you didn't, no" "What's the matter, Xiaoyun? Du Yan asked, "Xiaoyun, listen carefully. This time is really important. Whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on what happens next." " Hearing the seriousness of Du Yan's words, Zhao Xiaoyun gradually calmed down. She carefully inquired about what happened with Du Yan on the phone. When she heard that Zhang Wenliang, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, came forward in person, Zhao Xiaoyun was silent and said: "It seems Things are really complicated, I will tell Mr. Song right now. " "Okay Xiaoyun, I will reward you next time we meet" Du Yan whispered a few words. "Go to hell, you stinking gangster! "Zhao Xiaoyun on the phone shouted again. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Managing the New Area Du Yan left home the next morning. Originally, he wanted to go find Su Qian, but thinking of the current situation, he could only sigh as he looked at the beautiful woman's place in the distance. Those people who came the night before were a group of worker representatives from the heavy machinery factory. As expected, they came to see Du Yan, but they were sent back by Du Zhenhai and his wife. Of course Du Yan will not see them at this time. In fact, Du Yan knows that he will not hear any useful news from these workers. The reason why the workers will take action this time seems to be exactly what Ding Bingxian said. Just like Du Yan's handling of the mass gathering at the heavy machinery factory this time, the assessment team is not monolithic. Obviously, someone deliberately leaked the rumors to the workers, but the people who spread the news were very smart and spread the news without leaving any clues. , I think that at this time, many people in the entire Taihua City are having a headache about this matter. Du Yan first went to the county committee in the morning. When he saw that the entire county committee acted as if the incident the day before had not happened, he simply said hello to Li Peizheng and took the car back to the new district. Du Yan didn't care when Zhang Wenliang came to Pingling. What he was thinking about now was how to take care of his one-third-acre land. As for the old heavy machinery factory, Du Yan believed that the matter would not be resolved soon. , at least it is still unknown how many people will be involved. People in Daqing Township had obviously heard about what happened in the county. When Du Yan returned to the town committee at noon, Peng Jun, who happened to be standing at the door, looked at Du Yan with a look that was not much better than crying. smile. For Peng Jun, his short-term cooperation with Shi Changgeng brought him disappointment again and again. Especially after Liu Jiahui left, Shi Changgeng's desire became stronger and stronger, which made Peng Jun feel more and more disappointed. A lot of pressure. Du Yan¡¯s return this time made Peng Jun seem to see hope, especially since the first day Du Yan showed an attitude that was completely different from theirs, which made Peng Jun feel that his opportunity might have come. So what if he had conflicts with Du Yan before, and what if he had trouble behind his back. Peng Jun actually knew his position very well. He knew that unlike Lao Yu, the deputy director of the county party committee office, he had a bad relationship with Du Yan before. , now there is no scruple about switching sides. But Lao Yu relied on Du Yan to get up, but he bit back when Du Yan was unlucky. If Du Yan really wants to play with the prime minister's will and let Lao Yu go, it may not be a good thing. So Peng Jun showed obvious intention to lean towards the new director on Du Yan's first day in office. But what made Peng Jun depressed was that you, Director Du, should try your best. You have just taken office, and the director's chair is not yet warm. , what's your rivalry with the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee? What else does the old heavy machinery factory have for you? As for rushing forward? Peng Jun, who was thinking this way, had the urge to go over and hit Du Yan on the head when he saw Du Yan. "Where are Mayor Peng going?" Du Yan asked with a smile, looking at Peng Jun with an ugly face. He knew that some people in the town wanted to see his joke at this time. At least when he first entered the yard, he had already seen Shi Changgeng's place seemed a little lively. "Isn't this in accordance with the director's instructions to go down and do some investigation?" Peng Jun grinned at Du Yan. He was really a little embarrassed at this time and didn't know what attitude he should take towards Du Yan. If he had heard about Du Yan before, he might If he wanted to be unlucky, it didn't matter if he applauded directly or just watched. But don't say you can't do it now. Even if you want to appear cold, you can't be too obvious. After all, changing your face at the first sign of trouble will make people hate you. What's more, the ups and downs of Director Xiao Du's previous experience were really outrageous. Peng Jun really didn't know what to do for a while. "Director, if nothing happens, I'll go down and have a look. I have to visit a few villages." "Then get busy." Du Yan nodded. Seeing Peng Jun say hello and leave quickly, Du Yan secretly shook his head. This Peng Jun really can't stand up to the wall. He can't stand the slightest movement. , it seems that he will have to rely on his group of people in the future, and he cannot be relied on. Du Yan walked into the office while thinking about it. Not long after he sat down, Hu Weiping's son Hu Xuecong opened the door and walked in. After Hu Xuecong was transferred to the town committee office by Du Yan, he didn't have a good impression of Du Yan at first. Later, when his father Hu Weiping became the director of the town committee, he gradually became more stable, but the young man was not very impetuous. It can be changed quickly. Hu Weiping also knew that this could not be taught casually, so he let him go. Now that Hu Weiping has undoubtedly become one of the most important people around Du Yan, Hu Xuecong's resentment towards Du Yan has naturally disappeared. However, the attitude of the people around him has obviously changed in the past two days, and Hu Xuecong feels very proud. . As soon as he entered the door, Hu Xuecong pointed to Du Yan in the direction of Shi Changgeng's office opposite: "Director, it has been very lively over there since yesterday. Even Director Tie went over to report on his work." After saying this, Hu Xuecong tilted his head slightly. He curled his lips and said, "I've seen you all."The wind controls the rudder, and there is no future. " "Don't talk nonsense," Du Yan scolded Hu Xuecong, "Xuecong, be careful when you speak in the future, respect your leaders, and don't comment on them casually. " As he said that, Du Yan felt that the words coming out of his mouth were a bit strange. Looking at the strange expression on Hu Xuecong's face after hearing this, Du Yan felt that he was really not qualified to criticize people like this. After all, now Everyone in the county knows that they are the worst at respecting leaders. ¡°Director, I heard that you reprimanded Deputy Secretary Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee directly on the phone, right? " Looking at Hu Xuecong's face full of curiosity and gossip, Du Yan sighed secretly. His reputation for contradicting the leader was finally fulfilled. It can be seen from the fact that Daqing Township knew it so quickly. Of course, it was because People are very curious and like to spread rumors, but there may not be people who are interested in making trouble. "Don't listen to their nonsense, do your own work first," Du Yan ordered. In fact, he had already guessed what happened in Daqing Township. For these township cadres, it is natural for them to be promoted to the top. Take Peng Jun for example. He only wanted to be the mayor and he had not gotten along well with Shi Changgeng before. Hui Hui still wants to have a good relationship with himself, but if he really falls down, he may be the first person to jump out and oppose him. "Xue Cong, go and call Siyou. " Looking at Hu Xuecong who nodded and turned around to walk out, Du Yan shook his head and smiled. Chen Siyou not only came very quickly, but also brought a new district development outline drafted by the design team overnight. Looking at the scrawls on the outline With his handwriting and Chen Siyou's slightly red eyes, Du Yan knew that he obviously hadn't slept that night. "Siyou, your Jingzhi group will be busy soon," Du Yan said to Chen Siyou who came in. "Remember, what we have to do this time is to promote the merger of the three towns as soon as possible. We have wasted too much time. If we don't speed up the progress, maybe our previous advantages will be completely eliminated." No, you have to know that people in Linchi and Qingfeng are working very hard. " "Director, are you okay? "Chen Siyou finally asked, with a trace of worry on his face. "Now everyone says that you have offended the city secretary Zhang, which is not good for you. I heard that Secretary Zhang" "Siyou, when you have time, think more about the work of your leadership team, and don't listen to the rumors outside," Du Yan interrupted Chen Siyou, "As for the relationship between Secretary Zhang and I It's just a minor disagreement at work. What does it mean to offend? Why can't everyone focus on work instead of just listening to these rumors? I think it really needs to be straightened out. "As he said this, Du Yan shook his head in amusement, "When you go out later, let Director Hu come over. I want him to arrange a meeting in the afternoon. It seems that everyone still hasn't put their minds in the right place. " As he said that, Du Yan motioned for Chen Siyou to sit down and began to look at the development outline he brought seriously. "I have to admit that there is still something in Chen Siyou's development outline. I saw that the surplus labor of the three towns was concentrated to promote the joint venture. Du Yan seemed to think of something when he walked to the first line of the factory. He raised his head and looked through the window at the unfinished new town committee building outside. After thinking about it, he casually wrote on the outline: "Establishing integration and one line of work." "Long's government office system strives to ensure the efficiency of government affairs processes to the maximum extent". When he saw the paragraph about supporting the characteristic industries of each town, he added: "We must maximize the role of the economic guidance group." , provide powerful development suggestions for the construction of the new district, and at the same time establish a systematic economic development direction for the new district, starting from the short and medium term, and establish long-term goals for the macro-construction of the new district. "Writing this, Chen Siyou noticed that the corners of Du Yan's mouth seemed to curl up slightly, as if he was smiling. Du Yan read quickly. He generally read through the entire outline. He highlighted some places as he thought of them, and highlighted others. Fang Fang added some suggestions in his essay. When he returned the outline to Chen Si, Chen Siyou couldn't help but look surprised when he looked at the places he had corrected and marked. "Director, is this too big?" "Chen Siyou was a little confused. Although Du Yan didn't write many comments, he had already discovered that it contained too many things. Just from the item "Establishing long-term goals for the macro-construction of the new district", he felt a little nervous. It's numb. This is not an economic steering group that is regarded by outsiders as a bench. It is simply a shrunken town committee, or simply a small new district management committee. "What I want is this big one." Du Yan looked at Chen Siyou, "Siyou, I just want to ask you one thing, are you confident in taking on this responsibility?" " Chen Siyou was stunned. He was one of the few people who could guess Du Yan's thoughts on the Jingzhi Group, but even so, he did not expect that Du Yan's expectations for the Jingzhi Group would be so great. No wonder Du Yan's expectations for the Jingzhi Group would be so great a year ago. Before Yan left,?From time to time, he told people in the economic leadership group to pay more attention to the country's economic policies. He even told Chen Siyou before he was transferred to the economic leadership group that he should be able to keep his cool and be willing to serve as a foil. It turns out that there is such a big thought in it! "Director, I'm afraid we can't do a good job." Chen Siyou was not being modest. Since he already knew Du Yan's thoughts, he naturally had to make strong suggestions. "You also know what level we have. It's really difficult for us to do this kind of thing." "I don't just want you to do it. What I want is the airs of your steering group and you, Chen Siyou." Du Yan pointed at Chen Siyou. "Actually, you guys. You have done well this year. In the name of the group, you have managed the porcelain sales of Liuliji, underwritten part of the green fruit wine from Daqingxiang Winery, and even intercepted many delivery routes in Shuangdui. You are very capable. "Director, haven't I already reviewed this?" Chen Siyou muttered with a red face. He didn't expect that Du Yan would suddenly start a small account. This was not the Director Du he had in mind. "What I want is your kind of thinking," Du Yan patted the table lightly. "It's a very good vision if you can look at the resources of the new district as a whole. Three towns and one place are not just talk, they must be planned and implemented as a whole. , as long as you gradually turn this idea into the planning and development of the entire new district, then you will have achieved one-third of my expectations for you." "Only one-third?" Chen Siyou has a big head. In his mind, if this one thing was realized, it would be enough to turn the Economic Planning Group into the most popular department in the new district. But in Director Du's opinion, it seemed that he was not satisfied yet. "Your future role will be played. It's just that it's too early to say this now. As long as you can achieve these goals, it will be good." Du Yan pointed to the outline. "When I go back, I will brew it again based on the changes I made. Remember to be down-to-earth but practical." "Looking at the expectation in Du Yan's eyes, Chen Siyou nodded vigorously and felt uncontrollably excited. He knew that his original choice was the right one, or simply that he made the right bet! As long as Director Du is here, it seems that the good days of the Jingzhi Group are not far away. During the afternoon meeting, Du Yan arrived very early. He had already arrived at the conference room before anyone else arrived. Seeing the cadres coming in one after another, Du Yan slowly took off the watch from his wrist and placed it on the table. , seeing him like this, the voices of the cadres who were still chatting and laughing when they came in gradually became quieter. The meeting time was two o'clock in the afternoon, but when the time was almost up, there was no sign of Shi Changgeng. Seeing several town leaders looking at each other and occasionally glancing at the empty chair, Du Yan didn't say anything. Looking at Biao Zhi who kept moving around on the table. Finally, two o'clock arrived. Du Yan picked up his watch and put it on, and then began to speak: "Director Hu, please record it. From today on, we will establish a rule. The concept of time for new district meetings must be strengthened. The specific time must be accurate to the minute. Anyone who is late for no reason without saying hello will be considered absent. "Meetings that require voting will be recorded as automatic abstention." The cadres took a breath of air. This was the second time Du Yan had officially presided over the meeting. If the first time was to demonstrate his authority as the new district director of the County Party Committee Standing Committee, then this was the second time. The second time, he was aggressive and aggressive! This is completely different from the previous Mayor Xiao Du who always smiled when he saw everyone! "One more suggestion," Du Yan paused at this point. He looked at the cadres in the conference room. There were many people in the room. In addition to those sitting around the table, there were also people sitting in the back rows on both sides. At least More than 20 people said, "Starting today, in order to promote the unified construction of the new district as soon as possible, the group has been instructed to send people to participate in all investigations on the planning and construction projects of the new district. The purpose is to collect information and provide reference for the new district." As soon as Du Yan said this, There was a murmur of discussion all around. Everyone here knew what the situation of the group was. They were all sitting on the bench for thousands of years. Not only those in Daqing Township, but also those in Shuangdui and Liuliji were unable to make arrangements or were not welcome. They were all thrown into the Jingzhi group, but why did they suddenly turn around and become popular? Participate in the research of all new district projects and provide references to the new district? Isn¡¯t this a small management committee? What is Du Yan doing? Directly evacuate the towns? Isn't this too blatant? Sun Qizhi in Shuangdui had something wrong in his eyes, but when he saw that the others were silent, he also kept silent. Whoever stood out at this time would be unlucky. As soon as the door rang, Shi Changgeng walked in. He first looked at Lao Ma, the propaganda team member who was sitting near the door as he was accustomed to. Unlike Zhang Fengqi, the town organization section chief, who was only a political ally with him, Lao Ma was considered a political ally during this period. His hard-core subordinates, but as a result, he saw something wrong with Lao Ma's face when he looked towards him. "I'm sorry I'm late, something delayed me." Shi Changgeng said to the people on the table.He said hello and made an exception to smile at the cadres sitting against the wall, which actually made some people feel a little flattered. "Director Hu, please read the resolution of the meeting just now to Secretary Shi." Du Yan said to Hu Weiping. Shi Changgeng was a little stunned at first. When he listened to Hu Weiping repeat the two previous decisions, his face first showed surprise and then anger. "Because there was no notice before, Secretary Shi's lateness does not need to be recorded this time," Du Yan said lightly. "But starting from the next meeting, if anyone is late for no reason, please don't come in again, because this will be harmful to the public." It has no meaning for him." Shi Changgeng opened his mouth but said nothing. He just sat in the chair, picked up a cigarette, lit it silently, and then took a deep puff. "If the new district wants to develop, it must have new rules and regulations, and the system is not hung on the wall." Du Yan looked at the people in the room. "The new district has been established for one year, but we have not done enough. For example, some guests from out of town come We don¡¯t know where to go or who to look for here, let alone how many procedures a small purchase and sale contract has to go through. This is absolutely impossible.¡± Speaking of this, Du Yan looked at the office building under construction outside: "So I have a suggestion, which is to establish a comprehensive administrative center in Daqing Township. One contract will run around the whole town. To buy agricultural machinery parts, you have to find more than a dozen people. This situation must be improved. All new district intelligent departments must work together. The role of the new district management committee is to serve customers not only to manage, but also to try to get everything done in one place. " Listening to Du Yan's words, several town cadres couldn't help showing expressions of astonishment. I don¡¯t know what Du Yan is trying to do. Why does he always come up with such new tricks? "Director Du, the idea of ??a shared office that you put forward is a good one." Shi Changgeng glanced at Du Yan, and then asked, "But what about the venue? Such a large business requires a lot of manpower. We don't seem to have such a large number of people." With the money to build such a shared office space, why don't the director go to the county to ask for funds?" Looking at Shi Changgeng's kind face, Du Yan smiled silently: "We already have the space, so we can use it. The new town committee building." "What?" Not only Shi Changgeng, but also other people in Daqing Township changed their expressions. The town cadres had to wait for many years to build this new town committee building. At this point, The cadres were very grateful to Liu Jiahui. At least Director Liu had done something good, but Du Yan wanted to change the new town committee building into some kind of comprehensive administrative center. This touched the G-spot of all the cadres! For a time, the crowd was excited, and people looked at Du Yan with ugly eyes. "Do you think it's unkind to let me disturb you with just one sentence after you have finally enjoyed your blessing?" Du Yan asked with a smile. He had known that this would happen. "What I want to say is that it is not completely occupied." The first floor of the new town committee building can be transformed into what I call a comprehensive administrative center, and the second floor can be used as our semi-public location. " "But even that space is not enough," Zhang Fengqi said with a frown, "In fact, we wanted to build it at the beginning. It¡¯s a three-story building. We only built a two-story building because we didn¡¯t have enough funds. If we give up another floor, the office space will be too crowded.¡± ¡°But what is the purpose of building a new area to have a larger office space?¡± ?" Du Yan refuted Zhang Fengqi unceremoniously, "If the new district wants to develop rapidly, it must have faster administrative efficiency. Otherwise, who will come to us and argue with us all day long?" "In addition, maybe everyone? So far, I still think that the new district is just a name, and each town should attract investment and find customers. Now I can tell you that in the future, the new district will gradually realize unified structure and unified management. Our ultimate goal is to realize the economic integration of the three towns. ¡± Meeting It went very quickly. Compared with other meetings, many people felt that compared with before, it was over before even a nap was over. In fact, the entire meeting was mostly just Du Yan speaking. Regarding his unusually strong attitude, Shi Changgeng felt angry and helpless in his heart. Du Yan's huge hat as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee made him feel that he could not resist at all. After the meeting, he So he rushed into his office, picked up the phone and called Guo Songlin. But what surprised Shi Changgeng was that Guo Songlin's attitude was different from before. It seemed indescribably ambiguous. Apart from telling Shi Changgeng to pay attention to uniting comrades, he didn't say anything substantial at all, let alone his previous treatment of him. That tendency to be absolutely supportive. For a moment, Shi Changgeng felt as if the board under his feet had been taken away. Without Guo Songlin's support, how could he compete with Du Yan, who was a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. In fact, the cadres in Daqing Township are not very satisfied with Du Yan's decision. After all, it touches everyone's interests to some extent, but it's just thatAfter all, this matter is not a matter of principle and cannot be discussed on the table. Secondly, looking at the thoughts of the other two town cadres, they seem to be gloating about the misfortune, and they cannot openly oppose it. For the cadres in Shuangdui and Liuliji, the newly built town committee building in Daqing Township is like meat cut from their bodies. They have long been angry at Daqing's favoritism and self-aggrandizement, and now they see Du Yan's words put an end to Daqing cadres' thoughts of entering the new building, so they were naturally very happy. Du Yan made this decision precisely because he understood the thoughts of several town cadres. And he also knew that before the matter at the old heavy machinery factory was settled, Guo Songlin would not make any moves easily, because at this time, Guo Songlin might still be thinking about seeing something good. Du Yan didn't have time to wait any longer. He already felt the urgency of time. It was obvious that some people in Linchi and Qingfeng had begun to pay attention to the recent policies and had also begun to implement the new district plan with great fanfare. This could not help Du Yan. Not to mention it is a pressure. The construction of the new building of the town committee has come to an end at this time. Du Yan could not wait until the new building was completed and began to implement his plan for a comprehensive administrative center. The atmosphere became sensitive. People knew that the first thing Director Du, a new official, did when he took office was to create a comprehensive administrative center. There was also a group of managers who suddenly became important. At that time, cadres from several towns started to I kept contacting each other, thinking about how I could get into these two places that looked promising. Du Yan naturally knew the thoughts of the cadres. In the eyes of many people, this was a good opportunity to increase the number of staff. However, as Du Yan announced that the administrative center would only draw from existing cadres and would never add one more person, the competition became more difficult. You can imagine the intensity. Hu Weiping's house has become the most lively place. Every day, people squat and wait for Hu Weiping to come home, and then they try to squeeze into the Hu's house covertly carrying various large and small bags. After all, people nowadays As everyone knows, Director Hu is the most popular person in front of Director Du. And Chen Siyou simply hid from home. He really didn't expect that he, the acting leader of the group, would change from a grandma who didn't love his uncle to a powerful figure in people's eyes. He really couldn't stand those elders and relatives. After worrying about his child, Chen Siyou simply ran to Du Yan's residence and hid. Du Yan took the time to call Su Qian. He felt very guilty for meeting Su Qian since he came back. The two people kept talking on the phone. Listening to Su Qian's voice, Du Yan felt like The Xiaoqing River flowing through spring looks very calm. But Du Yan could also hear that Su Qian was not willing to touch too much on the fact that he had become the leader of the county party committee. She just kept telling Du Yan to pay attention to his health and not to be too tired, and said that she would give it to him when he came back. Make some delicious food to replenish your health. This originally ordinary concern caused Du Yan to laugh. It wasn't until Su Qian scolded her with a hint of anger that Du Yan stopped looking at Mei to quench his thirst and take advantage of his words. "Be careful yourself," Su Qian suddenly said when the call was about to end, "I heard some things, I don't know whether they are true or not, but Du Yan, remember, as long as what you do is right, do it, no matter what happens in the future. I will support you no matter what." Su Qian's words moved Du Yan. He said softly: "Thank you Qianqian, I really don't know what I would do without you." "Maybe I can help. You have more people," Su Qian suddenly sighed, then said, "Pay attention to yourself" and put down the phone. Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Du Yan couldn't help but sigh to himself. He vaguely felt that Su Qian should know something, but he was not sure. But as soon as he put down the phone, the phone rang again. Du Yan picked up the phone again, and Tu Xiangdong's calm voice came over the phone: "Xiao Du, get ready. Deputy Secretary Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee will visit Pingling tomorrow." Finally here! Looking at the new building of the town committee office outside, Du Yan said silently in his heart. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 13 Chapter 13 The Storm is Coming Hearing that Tu Xiangdong said that Zhang Wenliang was going to Pingling the next day, although Du Yan didn't say anything, he actually felt contempt for Zhang Wenliang in his heart. As a rule, leaders always have to be notified a few days in advance when they come to inspect the following. This is of course to prepare the people below to receive the leaders, but it is also a warning to the people below to do what needs to be done as soon as possible and what should be done. It needs to be done as soon as possible, so that it won¡¯t be difficult for both parties to step down. This practice has become a custom in the domestic officialdom. In fact, this may not be true at all times and in all countries. Unless they are specifically looking for trouble, no one will easily break the tacit understanding. Zhang Wenliang was obviously the one causing trouble. He didn't notify Pingling until very late in the afternoon the day before he came down for inspection. And it was impossible for him not to know that he had been in the new district. Just this trouble was enough. I can bear it. ¡°Even using this little trick, this deputy secretary really must avenge himself. Du Yan thought so, but he picked up the phone without stopping and dialed Zhao Xiaoyun's number. But the phone rang for a long time but no one answered, so Du Yan had to dial the seldom-called Huayang Commercial Building phone number in Tongyang. The call was quickly connected, and a young voice with a sweet tone came over: "Hello, this is the Huayang office, who are you looking for?" "Hello, I'm looking for Zhao Xiaoyun, is she here?" Du Yan was a little confused. Strangely, he remembered that the phone number should be from Zhao Xiaoyun's office, but it was someone else who answered the phone. However, after listening carefully, the voice sounded slightly familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it. "Manager Zhao is not here now. Who are you? Do you need to leave a message?" The familiar voice asked politely. "Then please tell her that someone named Du Yan has been looking for her." Du Yan was a little disappointed. At this time, he really missed the era when mobile phones were everywhere. "Du Yan?" The other party's voice couldn't help but rise, as if he was a little surprised and a little surprised. "Are you Du Yan? Du Yan from Pingling?" Am I famous? Du Yan thought in his mind and replied: "Yes, I am Du Yan, who are you?" "I am Xiao Zhu, you don't remember me?" The other party asked excitedly, "I am Xiao Zhu from Qifengshan Hotel "You helped me last time." "Xiao Zhu?" Du Yan finally remembered that he had confessed to Qiao Luowei for a girl at Qifengshan Hotel more than a year ago. It had been so long. He had long forgotten about it, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly meet him again on the phone. "I really didn't expect it to be you. Are you in Huayang now?" "Yes, I was transferred to Huayang from Qifeng Mountain. "Thank you for interceding for me at that time," Xiao Zhu said excitedly, "Thank you, thank you." "You also helped me at that time," Du Yan smiled, but he didn't expect Qiao Luowei to treat Xiao Zhu. Zhu transferred to Huayang Commercial Building. "By the way, Xiao Zhu, where is Director Zhao?" "Director Zhao has gone to the capital and will be back in a few days. I will temporarily replace her these days," Xiao Zhu said and then briefly Hesitantly asked, "Are you and Director Zhao very familiar now?" "She has helped me a lot," Du Yan said, feeling slightly disappointed, "Then I won't waste your time and we'll talk about it later." "Okay." Du Yan, come to Tongyang when you have time and let me know and I'll treat you to dinner." Just after Xiao Zhu finished speaking, a voice came from the other side of the phone that surprised Du Yan, "Du Yan, Du Yan is here. "Mr. Qiao, I'm sorry to bother you," Xiao Zhu's uneasy voice came from the phone, "Yes, it's the Du Yan you saw last time. He was looking for Director Zhao." After a brief silence, the phone call came. Qiao Luowei's slightly surprised voice came: "Du Yan, is that you?" "Mr. Qiao?" Du Yan responded when he heard Qiao Luowei's voice. Except for the unexpected encounter at Huayang Commercial Building in Tongyang, he and Qiao Luowei had hardly seen each other in the past year, and there were not even a few phone calls. Qiao Luowei seemed to have disappeared in his life. But Du Yan couldn't help but admit that he had been able to get to this point because Qiao Luowei seemed to be in every corner, whether he entered the provincial party school or passed Feng Ziming's performance in the big debate at the beginning of the year. Becoming a backbone of the reformist writing team behind the scenes, Qiao Luowei's role seems to be felt in everything. But just like Song Jiayi always avoided Qiao Luowei, Qiao Luowei seemed to have been avoiding him, which made Du Yan feel a sense of unspeakable loss. Now, listening to Qiao Luowei's voice, the inexplicable loss in Du Yan's heart seemed to fade away: "Mr. Qiao, long time no see." "Long time no see," Qiao Luowei's tone seemed to be calm again, The two of them just held the microphone and muttered silently.After a while, Qiao Luowei said, "Are you looking for Xiaoyun?" "I'm asking Xiaoyun for some information," Du Yan didn't hide it. She estimated that Qiao Luowei didn't know her very well. The little quarrel between Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Xiaoyun can probably be seen, and the matter about the old heavy machine factory is more related to Qiao Luowei. "It is about the re-evaluation of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory. I suspect that there is something in it." Someone is embezzling national assets, and the Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory is just the beginning, or it is someone's test of the waters. After all, there are many large enterprises like this in Hexi Province. This kind of behavior has a negative impact on the economic development of Hexi and even the entire inland area. You should be very clear about the impact. I think this is not a good thing for Huachang Group. " "Do you think so?" Qiao Luowei asked softly, but it sounded like he was talking to himself, and then continued. There was a short silence, and then Qiao Luowei seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Come to Tongyang when you have time, and we will talk about this matter in person." "Okay, but Mr. Qiao, the heavy machinery factory is here There is a lot of pressure. Some people in Taihua are eager to end this evaluation as soon as possible." Du Yan emphasized, "If the second review and evaluation can be carried out as soon as possible, there may be a new turning point. Otherwise, the decision of the Taihua Municipal Committee will not be resolved. "It must be implemented." "I heard that you openly had a conflict with Taihua's leader?" Qiao Luowei's question was a bit unexpected. He didn't expect Qiao Luowei to know so much about his situation. He must have known it from Zhao Xiaoyun. I heard it there. "It's Zhang Wenliang, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, the father of Zhang Tao we met at Huayang Shopping Mall last time." Du Yan said "I know." Qiao Luowei said, but then he said in an explanation, "I know Zhang Wenliang is the brother-in-law of Sui Jianchao, the Minister of Machinery. "The Magotan firm from the capital seems to have a close relationship with Zhang Wenliang, so I suspect there may be something going on," Du Yan said without making it too clear. , but he believed that Qiao Luowei's intelligence should be able to think of the joints. "Deputy Secretary Zhang supports ending the evaluation as soon as possible, which will put a lot of pressure on Pingling." "I understand," Qiao Luowei's voice said again It became calm. After another period of silence, Qiao Luowei suddenly said, "Du Yan, what are you and Xiaoyun going to do in the future?" Du Yan was a little confused. He didn't expect Qiao Luowei to say this so straightforwardly. The window paper was torn! "Du Yan, you have a girlfriend and I heard that she is very nice. What will happen between you and Xiaoyun in the future?" Qiao Luowei's voice sounded a little lonely and helpless. "If you can't give Xiaoyun a good home, then Let Xiaoyun go, she is a good girl, she can't just follow you for nothing, let alone her whole life. " Du Yan was silent. He actually didn't know how to answer Qiao Luowei. We all know that, but I don¡¯t know why, it seems that after waking up from the dream, he is completely different from the dedicated self in his previous life. In his previous life, even when faced with a heart-warming girl like Han Bing, Du Yan and her It did not finally break through the irreversible limit. Du Yan still remembers that when he heard about Han Bing's final decisive move, he ran to a place where no one could find him, and cried hoarsely after completely releasing his inhibitions! At that time, Du Yan realized how important Han Bing was to him. The heart-rending pain even made him cut his palms with the nails of his clenched fists without feeling any pain. Perhaps it is because of this that Du Yan, who wakes up from a dream, feels unable to let go of the woman who makes his heart beat, as if he is always afraid that he will lose her completely as long as he cannot see her. "Mr. Qiao, I don't know how to answer your question," Du Yan said after thinking for a while, "If Xiaoyun wants to leave me, I will understand her, but we don't need anyone else's advice on matters between us." "I'm not someone else!" Qiao Luowei, who always seemed to take everything indifferently, rarely got angry. From the microphone, Du Yan could hear Qiao Luowei's tone being very excited, "You are irresponsible for doing this. You deserve it." "Is it your girlfriend?" "I'm really sorry for Su Qian," Du Yan sighed. Thinking of Su Qian who seemed to always support him silently, as if she had only paid attention to him since he could remember, Du Yan felt a surge of emotion in his heart. Feeling guilty, "But I also like Xiaoyun. I don't know what to do myself. What do you think I should do?" "You" Qiao Luowei seemed to be stopped by the question. She paused and sighed helplessly. He breathed, "Du Yan, just take care of yourself." After saying that, Qiao Luowei hung up the phone. Du Yan smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that he would chat with Qiao Luowei about emotional topics before he was about to face Zhang Wenliang's criticism and blow. However, through this phone call, he felt that the relationship between him and Qiao Luowei The relationship that had gradually become distant has become closer again.??Some. And perhaps because she knew the reasons for her emotional disputes with Su Qian and Zhao Xiaoyun, Du Yan had the urge to tell Qiao Luowei the things in her heart that she couldn't tell others. But when he saw the report on the development of the new district that Chen Siyou had reorganized on the table, Du Yan knew that he couldn't just fall into the love between his children at this time. After all, a huge storm was about to happen in the next second. God is coming. Du Yan looked at his watch. It was almost seven o'clock in the evening, which made him even more disgusted with Zhang Wenliang's tricks. He had to know that even if he rushed back to Pingling at this time, it would be almost midnight when he got home, and he would have to rush back tomorrow morning. In preparation for welcoming the city leaders, perhaps this is what Zhang Wenliang wants to see, at least before others arrive, he will be in a hurry. Du Yan thought briefly and walked out of the room. Since Zhang Wenliang came to Pingling in such a hurry to show his power, he couldn't let Deputy Secretary Zhang down! The old jeep in town unfortunately broke down, so Du Yan went to the town committee office to ask Hu Xuecong for the car keys. It was too late to find the driver, so Du Yan simply drove the Santana back to Pingling. Although the road from Daqing Township to Pingling has been repaired for more than a year, some places are still bumpy and difficult to walk. I thought that if I want to fully realize the construction of the new district with three towns and one place in my mind, at least this road will be Wanting to invest a sum of money to repair the road, Du Yan began to think about how to find the funds for road construction. It was almost ten o'clock when he got home. Du Yan did not disturb his parents. After returning to his room, he pondered for a while and then picked up the phone and dialed Ding Bingxian's home. The person who answered the phone was Ding Hongwei. Ding Hongwei was very happy to hear Du Yan's voice. However, when Du Yan then said that he was looking for his father, Ding Hongwei was a little annoyed: "I said Du Yan, you are really different now than before. You said you have nothing to do as an official? If it doesn't work, it would be great if we go to the south to do business. Let me tell you, there is gold everywhere. It just depends on whether you can find it. He said that he knew that Ding Hongwei was not doing well during this period, and it seemed that he had made some money. In fact, Ding Hongwei had a very active mind in his previous life. Among Du Yan's friends, he was the first to have The car owner is also the first multi-millionaire and the first to immigrate to Canada. It was at the practice banquet for Ding Hongwei that Du Yan was drunk and reborn: "Hongwei, although there are many opportunities in the south, the market will always be saturated one day. , maybe people from the south will come to our mainland to make a living. Okay, give Uncle Ding the phone, I have something serious to talk to him about." "You are engaging in your conspiracy again," Ding Hongwei muttered dissatisfiedly. He shouted loudly, "Dad, will you answer the call from Director Du of the New District, member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee?" Hearing Ding Hongwei groan from the phone, Du Yan smiled. Ding Bingxian is an open-minded person and is quite casual with his son. , this is different from Du Yan¡¯s father, Du Zhenhai. "Uncle Ding, it's so late and it's delaying your rest," Du Yan said politely and then turned to the topic, "Uncle Ding, what do you think of Zhang Wenliang's coming this time?" He sarcastically said, "Deputy Secretary Zhang is not just trying to spar with you, Director Du, this time. He is trying to knock the mountain to shake off the tiger. He is just trying to make you catch up." "I think so too," Du Yan laughed. The factory reorganization caused such a chaos, and the workers got the news so quickly, it must be said that someone was involved. It seems that Deputy Secretary Zhang wants to use my head to sacrifice the flag. " "So you should be more careful. "Ding Bingxian's voice became deeper. "Xiao Du, you have to remember that you are no longer Secretary Li's secretary, nor a simple staff member, but a member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee." Ding Bingxian seemed to laugh when he said this. I need to remind you that you, Director Xiao Du, have been very aggressive since you took office. This time, you are directly confronting the leaders of the municipal party committee. You are so majestic and evil. " "Uncle Ding, you have hurt me," Du Yan said helplessly. Smiling, he knew that this was Ding Bingxian reminding himself that it was time to keep a low profile, but could the things he was facing really make him keep a low profile? Du Yan didn't quite believe it, "Since Secretary Li is coming, I Always face it head-on and never dodge it. " "Small words are easy to break," Ding Bing advised, but then he said something irrelevant. "I have become very interested in Tai Chi recently, especially in the use of strength. I am very attracted to the spirit of being able to move a thousand pounds. Xiaoyan, if you have time, would it be beneficial? " "Thank you, Uncle Ding. I will definitely learn from you when I have time," Du Yan said softly, and chatted with Ding Bingxian for a few words. Finally he put down the phone. This phone call with Ding Bingxian made Du Yan see some things clearly. Ding Bingxian's analysis was very correct. Zhang Wenliang's desperate move this time was certainly due to his aggressiveness and bad intentions., but this may not be what he did after becoming angry. It seems that his move to find a third party to re-evaluate the assets of the heavy machine factory has indeed deeply touched the sensitive nerves of some people, which made Du Yan believe that the third party The storm on the second day must have been very violent. Du Yan turned off the light and fumbled in the darkness to take out a record from the cabinet next to the bed. He was so familiar with the placement of these records that he would not take them by mistake in the dark. There is an old gramophone in Du Yan's house, which was given to him by a friend of Du Zhenhai's early years in the machinery factory. Although he experienced the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution, Du Zhenhai always kept this gramophone and those items that were considered contraband at the time. record. The gramophone was well maintained. Although the record had some noise due to age, when the probe was gently placed on the track above, along with a melody that seemed to hit the depths of the soul, a Beethoven No. 1 song that Du Yan was extremely familiar with came out. The Nine Symphony played in the dark room. In the early morning of the next day, Sang Shulan was not surprised when she saw her son coming out of her room. Last night, she vaguely heard the sound of music coming from Du Yan's room, which made Sang Shulan know that her son was back, and obviously Something happened, otherwise I wouldn't have played that foreign song. After eating the breakfast that his mother had prepared, Du Yan arrived at the county party committee compound. Because it was already known that Deputy Secretary Zhang was coming to inspect, people in the county party committee yard came very early. When they saw Du Yan, everyone's expressions were a little different. Many people immediately stayed away, and some looked lustful. The way he said nothing but never moved forward. Du Yan also understood what they were thinking about these people. It was the custom of officialdom to hold the top and the top in vain and step down when the poor were poor. Now that he was about to be unlucky, many people of course avoided him for fear of getting in trouble, but some bold people wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. He had the opportunity to make a cold stove and get close to him, but he just wanted them to be really affectionate with him, but he would never do it. Walking into the county committee building, Du Yan met the Organization Minister Liao Kun on the stairs. Liao Kun still looked sour. Looking at Du Yan, he laughed and said, "Director Du, you are really busy now. "Did you come here after receiving the notice last night?" "Minister Liao is not easy either," Du Yan smiled lightly. "As the organizational director of the county party committee, this government work is more suitable for you. I think I will suggest Secretary Li to It would be a good idea for the city to make a report and ask you to transfer to the government as a deputy county magistrate." Liao Kun's face froze. Although it was well known throughout the county that he was from Guo Songlin, Du Yan's words made people angry. Liao Kun couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat. It would be terrible if Li Peizheng was moved by these words and actually reported to the city to mobilize himself. The executive deputy county magistrate is now Geng Zhen, so naturally there is no possibility of giving up his seat. However, Li Peizheng may not have the idea of ????squeezing himself out of Pingling. Unexpectedly, Xiao Du is really poisonous. This is a bad idea. Although they seem to have some conflicts, after all, their relationship is not ordinary. If it really happens, even if Du Yan can't hide because he offended Zhang Wenliang this time, he will be hit, but as long as he remains in the seat of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee for one day, it may not be possible. He won't help Li Peizheng regulate himself. Liao Kun laughed, and then quickly walked a few steps towards the second floor. At the top of the stairs, he saw Guo Songlin who was standing on top looking down. He said hello: "County Magistrate, you are here early. " Liao Kun never uses his last name when greeting Guo Songlin, in order to show that his relationship with Guo Songlin is unusual. "Director Du came here at night?" Surprisingly, Guo Songlin nodded and started talking to Du Yan who followed him. This not only surprised Liao Kun, but also surprised Liao Kun who was rushing to work. people looked surprised. "There is no way. The city's notice was too late, so I had to rush back overnight." Du Yan said with a smile. Tu Xiangdong had already mentioned the time of the city's temporary notice on the phone, and Du Yan also felt that since Zhang Wenliang was targeting him If you come, then there is no need for you to show off your generosity. "Yeah, it was so hasty that we were caught off guard," Guo Songlin shook his head helplessly and looked at his watch, "We really have to move quickly. I think Deputy Secretary Zhang will arrive at ten o'clock." Listening to Guo Songlin's words one by one. "We", not only the people around him, but also Liao Kun were a little confused. When did County Magistrate Guo and Du Yan become "we"? Around nine o'clock, the cadres of Pingling who were generally prepared gradually gathered in the county party committee compound. At this time, the habit of going to the boundaries of the jurisdiction to greet leaders had not yet become popular, but all four teams of the Pingling Party, Government and People's Association gathered together , the number of people is quite impressive. At this time, you can see who is close to whom and who is in whose circle. Liao Kun and Propaganda Minister Lao Xu accompanied Guo Songlin, talking to Huang Guozhi and Geng Zhen from time to time. Tu Xiangdong always tries his best when arranging work.By Li Peizheng and Ding Bingxian. Du Yan stood opposite Li Peizheng and Ding Bingxian, and several people formed a circle. It was Liu Laofei, the quasi-member of the Standing Committee, who was talking lively with the Minister of Human Resources and Military Affairs, Dong Dong. This was human nature. After all, Liu Laofei's status at this time was somewhat Awkward. At ten o¡¯clock, several cars drove into the Pingling County Party Committee compound. Pingling cadres who had already received the news stood in their respective positions and waited. After a while, the car door opened from both sides. The two people got out of the Audi respectively. When they saw Zhang Wenliang getting out of the second Audi, Li Peizheng walked over first and stretched out his hands. "Welcome Secretary Zhang, you have worked hard all the way," Li Peizheng held Zhang Wenliang's hand and said, "On behalf of the 200,000 people in Pingling, I welcome you to Pingling to inspect and guide the work." "I don't deserve the inspection, I am here to learn, Learn from the brave spirit of Pingling cadres who dare to express their attitudes." Zhang Wenliang had a smile on his face, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the already low temperature in the Pingling County Party Committee Courtyard dropped sharply. After saying that, Zhang Wenliang glanced at everyone with his sharp eyes, and his eyes fell directly on Du Yan's face. "Am I right, Director Xiao Du?" He was looking at the man who got off the car at the same time as Zhang Wenliang in some trance. The young woman Du Yan said "Ah". He didn't expect that Zhang Wenliang would give him a blow straight away as soon as he got out of the car. He felt the attention of hundreds of eyes in the whole courtyard, and the man who stood around the Audi and stood behind Zhang Wenliang. The young woman behind Wen Liang had a slightly strange look in her eyes, and Du Yan smiled slightly: "You are really complimenting me. Pingling cadres only have this little advantage, Deputy Secretary Zhang." Listening to Du Yan deliberately pronouncing the word 'vice' It was so heavy that people in the yard couldn't help but secretly gasp! Director Xiao Du is really going to fight with the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee! Seeing the calm expression on Du Yan's face, Zhang Wenliang's smile gradually faded. The young woman standing behind him looked at Du Yan curiously, but she was secretly thinking: "I can't tell, this little gangster is really tough. ¡± Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Don't Buy It Du Yan did not expect that Chu Yilan, deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, would come down with Zhang Wenliang. Seeing Chu Yilan, Du Yan had a headache. The first encounter between the two more than a year ago was very unforgettable. Although the two had almost no contact with each other since then, more or less, when Du Yan accompanied Li Peizheng to the city, he could still see Chu Yilan. of. Maybe it was because the impression she left when they first met was too bad. Chu Yilan had never given Du Yan a good look. Now that he saw her and Zhang Wenliang come down together, Du Yan felt that this time it was really a reunion of enemies. , all rushed together. When shaking hands, Zhang Wenliang had another misstep. When he passed by Lao Xu of the People's Armed Forces Department and came to Du Yan, Zhang Wenliang seemed to suddenly see Mr. Liu standing behind Du Yan and laughed and slapped him. He said hello, and then quickly walked over and shook hands with Liu Laofei as if he hadn't seen Du Yan. This action shocked the people in the yard. People looked at this scene in astonishment. They were not just surprised, some people were even embarrassed for Du Yan! After all, this was a formal occasion, but Zhang Wenliang gave Du Yan a hard time in front of so many people. This was too bullying! Du Yan stood there without moving, his face was calm, and he seemed not to have seen Zhang Wenliang passing in front of him. Just when Zhang Wenliang let go of Liu Laofei's hand and turned to look at him, Du Yan suddenly took a step forward. She smiled at Chu Yilan who was following Zhang Wenliang. "Welcome to inspect, Secretary-General Chu," Du Yan said, stretching out his hands and grabbing them tightly regardless of whether Chu Yilan wanted to or not. "There are a lot of problems here in Pingling, and I hope that Secretary-General Chu will be more careful when the time comes." "Guide." A look of astonishment flashed across Chu Yilan's face and then calmed down. Du Yan held on to his hand and shook it up and down, making Chu Yilan blush slightly but not for a moment. Method occurs. Zhang Wenliang¡¯s face, who was standing next to him, had become ugly. Du Yan just stopped Chu Yilan and refused to let go, and the people behind him couldn't get past Chu Yilan to follow. The result of this was that even if Zhang Wenliang walked forward alone, he would stop and wait for Du Yan to arrive. It¡¯s not even after playing the piano. The feeling of being left in the cold and in a dilemma made Zhang Wenliang feel really blocked but couldn't express it! "Secretary-general Chu, I still remember the instructions you gave me when you communicated with Mr. Song from Huachang last time. I remember you said" Although Du Yan finally let go of Chu Yilan's smooth and delicate hands, he could He still kept talking, but he didn't care about Zhang Wenliang, who was alone in the front. This made even the most obtuse person see that Du Yan was deliberately embarrassing Zhang Wenliang. Director Xiao Du is too jealous and must retaliate. This is simply a blatant slap in the face of Deputy Secretary Zhang! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? man man me, give me instructions, you big-headed ghost! Chu Yilan cursed in her heart. She didn't expect that Du Yan would use herself to embarrass Zhang Wenliang so sinisterly. "Director Du, can we talk when we have time in the future?" Chu Yilan reluctantly reminded her. Although she could see that Du Yan was using herself to compete with Zhang Wenliang, it made her teeth itch with hatred, but she didn't Method, especially since this little gangster just grabbed his hand and refused to let go. Although the situation dictated it, it did give him an advantage, so Chu Yilan's face didn't look so good when she spoke. And what made her even more hateful was that when she looked up, she saw that this boy was staring at her directly in front of the public. This behavior made Chu Yilan really feel depressed but had nowhere to vent his anger. "Secretary-general Chu, I'd like to take the liberty of asking," Du Yan kept saying, "I wonder what your relationship is with Chu Yijun, the secretary of Minister Liang of the Provincial Committee?" "Do you know my brother?" Chu Yilan There was a look of surprise on his face. "Oh, Secretary-General Chu is really related to Brother Chu. No wonder I think you look so similar." Du Yan then used the topic to continue. At this moment, Li Peizheng finally came over. He looked at Du Yan with strange eyes and smiled and said, "Director Du can ask Secretary Chu for advice later. It's very cold now. Everyone should go in." Let's talk." "Oh, I'm sorry, Secretary Li, I forgot about this. Let's go in and talk." Du Yan said and stepped back with a smile, and then extended his hand to the city cadres who were following Chu Yilan. It was as if such a period had never happened just now. Zhang Wenliang stood there and stared at Du Yan for a while, then he turned around and strode forward. During the next process of shaking hands with other Pingling cadres, people saw Deputy Secretary Zhang's face again. There wasn't even a trace of a smile. "Everyone who shook hands with Du Yan would run away immediately after shaking hands, as if they were afraid of being spotted by Du Yan. The conditions in Pingling are not very good, although the county government?The office building has been built, and some government departments have begun to move there one after another, but the large conference room still uses the old auditorium from the previous joint office. At this time, the old auditorium was already filled with cadres from various departments in the county. When Zhang Wenliang walked in accompanied by Li Peizheng, no one needed to lead the way. The entire auditorium immediately burst into long and warm applause. Only then did a smile appear on Zhang Wenliang's face. While he and Li Peizheng clapped slowly and walked forward, he looked at the cadres passing by and kept nodding. He looked quite like a leading cadre coming to inspect. , at this time everyone seems to have forgotten the episode that just happened in the county party committee courtyard. In the eyes of the cadres below, whether it is deputy secretary Zhang or the county party committee leaders, it can be said that the relationship is harmonious and happy. It was only when many people saw Du Yan walking up to the rostrum and sitting down that their expressions changed somewhat. Those who knew a little bit about the inside story couldn't help but look at Zhang Wenliang sitting in the middle, as if they were trying to get in touch with each other's faces. There are some different clues. The meeting was chaired by Ding Bingxian, and the usual opening remarks ended. Ding Bingxian announced, "Now I would like to invite the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Deputy Secretary Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee to give important instructions." The venue immediately burst into warm applause again, but the cadres sitting in the front row discovered that when Ding Bingxian said When he was called Deputy Secretary Zhang, the leaders on the stage seemed to look a little strange. Zhang Wenliang¡¯s eloquence is very good, or it is a required course for domestic cadres. After reading a few paragraphs from the manuscript written by his secretary, which made the cadres in the audience think it was just a formality, Zhang Wenliang suddenly put down the manuscript and his tone changed! "We are carrying out an unprecedented revolution, doing something that has never been done before, and exploring a new path!" Zhang Wenliang's tone was strong, and his eyes scanned the entire venue. This kind of glance is just a brief glance, but it makes many people feel that they are looking at themselves. This is also a unique skill of leading cadres in the domestic officialdom. "Reform requires sacrifices and trade-offs. Why can't some people see this?" ? Is it true that holding on to old ideas and thinking and being complacent and not striving for progress is responsible for the cause of the party? " Zhang Wenliang's voice was already loud, and after being amplified by the loudspeaker, the entire auditorium was completely filled with his aggressive momentum. The cadres sitting below couldn't help but be secretly frightened when they heard the words that were clearly meant. Some of them couldn't help but look at Du Yan, who was sitting next to the rostrum. "Some of our cadres were originally young and energetic, and should have been the vanguard in the tide of reform and opening up. However, on the contrary, it is precisely these cadres that have become resistance and stumbling blocks to reform!" Zhang Wenliang continued to play in a strong tone. What¡¯s going on with Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory? Everyone here knows that it¡¯s a company that relies on loans every year. Why is this company still opposed to major operations? Is there any personal reason? Is it because the level is not high enough and the vision is too short-sighted to see the inevitability of reform? Everyone has already read the document about the Prime Minister¡¯s Southern Tour speech. Are you still not willing to make progress?¡± Zhang Wenliang¡¯s eyes were as follows: Baseline began to look backwards, and everyone he saw couldn't help but avoid it slightly, which made him feel very satisfied. "The resistance to reform and the stumbling blocks must be removed! Especially those who speak for the workers and take advantage of the workers' ignorance of the truth." Anyone who blindly earns fame and points must not use it!" Hearing this, everyone in the auditorium couldn't help but be shocked! Although many people had guessed that Zhang Wenliang had bad intentions this time, no one expected that he would openly say such harsh words at the cadre meeting. As the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and the third-in-command in Taihua City, it seems that Du Yan's political life has been labeled as over. "Leading cadres must have an overall view and cannot give up the overall view just because of a momentary sentimentalism. This is very irresponsible," Zhang Wenliang obviously did not want to stop here. "The workers have made some sacrifices, but our enterprise has developed , this sacrifice is nothing. I believe the workers will understand. How many people with lofty ideals were sacrificed when our party started the revolution, don¡¯t they understand? So we should look forward now and never stop moving forward. You can¡¯t retreat just because of a slight disturbance. This is disloyal to the party¡¯s cause and a matter of stance!¡± Zhang Wenliang¡¯s words shocked the cadres again. After all, the seriousness of the stance issue is obvious to all in the country. No matter how big a mistake is made, there is always room for maneuver as long as it does not involve a problem with one's stance. But once there is a problem with one's stance, it is a certainty and there is no room for maneuver. Chu Yilan, who was sitting next to Zhang Wenliang, frowned secretly. She had already heard that Zhang Wenliang came down this time because of Du Yan. Speaking of which, Chu Yilan was a little gloating about his misfortune, but she had no sympathy for Du Yan.Sensitively, every time she remembered the scene when Du Yan handed her a mannequin album in the bookstore more than a year ago, she felt furious. But Chu Yilan was a little surprised by Zhang Wenliang's words. She didn't expect that Zhang Wenliang was not only criticizing, but also wanted to beat Du Yan to death with a stick. This unexpectedly made Chu Yilan a little confused, and just now Du Yan mentioned Chu Yijun to her surprise, and he seemed to have a close relationship with Chu Yijun, which made Chu Yilan can't help but Weiwei is a little worried for Du Yan. "Reform requires sacrifices. This is an inevitable phenomenon. Why can't we accept it? Workers only see immediate benefits. Could it be that the cadres in Pingling can't take advantage of the situation and set an example for them, but have to follow the baton of some people? ?" Zhang Wenliang became more and more powerful as he spoke. Suddenly, he waved his hand and slapped the table hard, and a loud sound sounded like thunder over the auditorium. "For cadres who cannot implement the spirit of the municipal party committee, For those who have ulterior motives, we must not use it. We will take down what should be taken without mercy." The entire venue was completely silent. Although there were hundreds of people in the auditorium, it was as if you could hear a pin drop! , the only sound coming from the loudspeaker was Zhang Wenliang's heavy breathing due to his speech. Each breath was like a mountain, pressing down on the cadres in the audience. Zhang Wenliang picked up the water glass and took a sip slowly. A clack sound was heard from the loudspeaker as he swallowed the tea. Then he slowly closed the lid and looked at Li Peizheng beside him: " The Municipal Party Committee believes that most of the comrades in Pingling are good, but a very small number of them have caused a bad influence. As the squad leader of Pingling, you, as the monitor of Pingling, must be aware of Comrade Peizheng and not have any baggage, but I hope you will too. Learn the lesson and clearly realize the importance of purifying our cadre team." Li Peizheng nodded silently. He seemed to smile when he saw Zhang Wenliang, and then Zhang Wenliang suddenly laughed: "My call may have made some people angry. People are scared, but don¡¯t worry, the municipal party committee still trusts the cadres who can implement and follow the municipal party committee¡¯s intentions and truly understand the spirit of the municipal party committee.¡± Zhang Wenliang pointed to Liu sitting in the first row below. Lao Fei: "Not to mention others, Comrade Liu Zhihui of the Pingling County Public Security Bureau is a role model. He can resolutely implement the municipal party committee's intentions. When it comes to the workers at the Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory causing trouble, he can stick to his principles and never give in to others. A few people with ulterior motives compromised, and he did a good job," Zhang Wenliang said while nodding to Liu Laofei in the audience. Seeing Liu Laofei's face flushed with excitement, he smiled kindly and said, "Zhi Zhi. We must vigorously promote cadres like Comrade Hui. On the contrary, for those who will only accommodate conservative ideas regardless of the overall reform, or even deliberately embarrass the reform, we must consider whether they are suitable to continue working in leadership positions. " After hearing Zhang Wenliang's few words, he brought the topic back. The atmosphere that had just been relaxed became tense again. It was just the cadres in the front row. The people behind could not help but whisper to each other. Speaking of which, there were very few leaders. The cadre spoke so directly, which made people realize that it seemed that Deputy Secretary Zhang was determined to capture Du Yan. "Okay, I have said a lot, and the spirit of the municipal party committee has been conveyed. After all, I am a guest, so I can't overshadow the guest." Seeing that the heat was almost done, Zhang Wenliang smiled. He thinks he can still grasp it. "Can everyone talk about the specific issues next? Can everyone talk about how to continue the reform of Pingling Heavy Machinery Plant and who should be responsible for contacting the evaluation team?" Hearing Zhang Wenliang's words that sounded casual but were actually a final decision, Li Peizheng, who was holding the tea cup, raised his eyebrows. He slowly put down the cup, looked at Zhang Wenliang's eyes and nodded slightly. Just as he just said When he was about to speak, a cadre from the county party committee quickly walked up to the podium and whispered a few words into Tu Xiangdong's ear. Tu Xiangdong looked at Li Peizheng inadvertently, then stood up and walked down the podium. His action made Li Peizheng feel moved, but he still calmly picked up the manuscript and read it, even though Zhang Wenliang's words had long since departed. Although Li Peizheng had already understood the key points of the previous meeting, he could not just respond immediately, and he also had to use this time to think carefully about how to respond to Zhang Wenliang's somewhat violent reaction. Tu Xiangdong came back not long after he went out. However, although his face was still calm, people nearby could see his slightly furrowed eyebrows. And what surprised many people was that Tu Xiangdong did not return to his seat, but Go up from the other side of the rostrum, walk to Du Yan and say hello in a low voice. Under the attention of the whole audience, Du Yan stood up. He and Tu Xiangdong walked down the rostrum and walked through the aisle toward the door. During this period, everyone's eyes involuntarily looked in his direction., and for a while, whispers started to fall one after another in the venue. Zhang Wenliang looked at Chu Yilan next to him and gestured. Although he vaguely knew that Du Yan seemed to have some relationship with Liang Benchu, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister, he did not believe that Liang Benchu ??would easily stand up for Du Yan, not to mention that the Provincial Party Committee had left the Party Committee after all. It was still far away, and even if Liang Benchu ??really had something to do with Du Yan, he would not easily break the rules of officialdom and directly interfere with Taihua's affairs. Chu Yilan stood up and walked off the rostrum. This attracted the attention of the cadres below. Female cadres were originally the focus of discussion, but Chu Yilan, a young and pretty deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, It is an eternal topic in the entire Taihua officialdom. In private, many people speculated that Chu Yilan was the mistress of Taihua Municipal Party Committee Secretary Cui Jianbin, and some said that she was the mistress of a big shot in the province. This can be seen from the fact that Chu Yilan has never been married, and now she is so close. From a distance, Chu Yilan's unusual beauty made many people talk about it. Chu Yilan had long been accustomed to these discussions. She walked out of the venue calmly. The moment she opened the heavy door of the auditorium, a burst of dazzling sunlight shone through the corridor window, and a burst of high-pitched noise filled the hall from outside. It entered Chu Yilan's ears. Chu Yilan immediately walked quickly to the window in the corridor. When she saw the dark crowd outside the county party committee compound, her heart was shocked. She had seen this scene more than once. And this kind of mass gathering complaint when superior leaders come to inspect, it can be said that it is the last thing they want to see, whether it is Pingling locals or superior leaders! Chu Yilan did not walk out of the auditorium. She saw Du Yan and Tu Xiangdong standing at the door of the county party committee compound, and Du Yan was holding a microphone in his hand and shouting to the crowd gathered outside. "Comrades, you are old workers in the heavy machinery factory, and some of you are my elders. I just want to ask you, do you want to solve the problem or vent your emotions?" Du Yan asked loudly, holding the microphone, "There is a meeting inside now. It's a very important meeting. Please don't interfere with the work of the county committee. If you have any issues, you can talk about it, but it's not good for you to block the door like this." "Director Du, you promised that we would re-evaluate the factory, but why do you want to do it after hearing that? The factory is sold, aren't you lying?" A young worker shouted. He didn't seem to be afraid of being recognized, and even squeezed forward. "Director Du, I am the youth worker squad leader of the heavy machinery factory. A young assaulter at the municipal level, I am not afraid of retaliation. I just want to ask you if what you said still counts. " "Your name is Lin Guoqing, right?" Du Yan suddenly asked, which made the young worker stunned for a moment. Then he nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect Director Du to know me, so please answer my question, why did you sell the heavy machinery factory?" "Lin Guoqing, you are not qualified as a municipal-level young assaulter," Du Yan looked at the young worker and smiled, "It seems that you need to study more. For our Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory to develop in the future, it is not just about having good skills, but also having good management skills and leading everyone to improve efficiency." It¡¯s going to be sold at a low price, so what¡¯s the point?¡± Lin Guoqing said angrily, ¡°When everyone loses their jobs, how will they live?¡± ¡°Who told you that the heavy machinery factory will be sold at a low price?¡± Sold? Lin Guoqing, you must be responsible for what you said!" Du Yan's expression suddenly changed. He stepped onto a chair and raised a microphone and said loudly to the crowd of workers: "Since everyone is here, let's talk briefly. Everyone knows what the old heavy machinery factory is. It is a national asset and the foundation of everyone's life. The old heavy machinery factory has great difficulties now, but it also has advantages. That is the technical experience accumulated over the years, and it is here now. Workers, we cannot lose this advantage. Some people say that the factory will be sold at a low price and everyone will be laid off and unemployed. I am here to give you the bottom line. As long as I, Du Yan, hold the position of Pingling County Party Committee Standing Committee for one day, I will definitely lose my job. We will not allow this to happen. It is a fact that the old heavy machinery factory is in difficulty and needs to inject funds. We welcome those who are sincere in cooperating with us, but if you want to take advantage of others, you must not do it. " "Director Du, you have the final say. Didn¡¯t you hear that some leaders in the city insist on selling the old heavy machinery factory? When the city issues an order, what¡¯s the use of what you said?¡± The young worker named Lin Guoqing still asked loudly, in disbelief. His words were immediately echoed by many workers behind him. After all, for the workers, the leadership of the municipal party committee was like a big mountain, which was impossible to resist. "Lin Guoqing, who did you hear that the city leaders wanted to sell the old heavy machinery factory?" Du Yan looked down at Lin Guoqing, "Besides, don't you know that our factory is owned by the whole people? There is a problem with your position." Du Yan Lin Guoqing was stunned by what he said. Of course, for a worker like him, he didn't know why this was a position issue, but he also knew that it was not a good thing to say.   "We all know whether the situation at the old heavy machinery factory is serious," Du Yan picked up the microphone and continued to tell the workers, "The equipment is aging and the technology is backward, and the inability to develop new products in time according to market needs is a reality. The problem lies there even if you don¡¯t admit it, am I right?¡± ¡°Is there no other way but to sell the factory?¡± an old worker shouted emotionally, ¡°I have been working for almost 40 years. , you saw the old heavy machinery factory coming step by step, and just sold it like this? " "Of course it's not a simple sale of the factory. It's understandable that everyone has emotions, but you also have to distinguish the situation," Du Yan jumped off the chair and walked to the old worker. In front of us, "Our heavy machine factory has a lot of accumulated technology and a large number of skilled technical workers. This is not only the case with the heavy machine factory but also the 307 Factory. Now everyone is having a hard time. How can we live with it? We need more than just Funds, as well as brand-new technology, so whether it is a joint venture or technology capital injection, these are what we need. We cannot rest on our laurels, let alone blindly exclude external funds. That is also wrong. " Du Yan said slowly. Moving forward, as the workers involuntarily parted ways, Du Yan gradually walked into the middle of the crowd. "I understand everyone's sentiments, but we must also clearly understand the truth. We are not rejecting the restructuring, but we want to see how to change it. I still say the same thing. As long as I, Du Yan, stay on the Pingling County Committee for one day, we will not allow low-priced sales. When things like this happen in the factory, we welcome objective and fair assessments and sincere cooperation, but we will never allow anyone to take advantage of others' danger and embezzle national assets!" "Okay!" As Du Yan finished speaking, the crowd immediately burst into applause. ! People couldn't help but squeeze forward, and many people extended their hands to Du Yan. As they shouted "Director Du" one after another, some young workers even wanted to lift Du Yan up. "Please calm down, calm down!" Tu Xiangdong, who was standing outside the crowd, quickly picked up the microphone and shouted loudly, "There is a meeting inside now. If you have any opinions or suggestions, you can raise them. Don't gather anymore. This will have a bad impact." " Director Du, are you right?" Lin Guoqing squeezed in front of Du Yan and asked loudly, but he didn't expect that Du Yan raised the microphone to his mouth, and his question immediately spread over the crowd. "It's not that what I say counts, but that this is the country's policy and the trend of reform. This is not something that one person can change, so I say that you, a young assaulter, are not qualified. When the factory develops in the future, if you are still just If you have high personal skills, you can only be a technical pacesetter for the rest of your life. It is difficult to become a manager. " "I don't expect to be a manager," Lin Guoqing muttered, and his words were immediately heard by the workers around him through the microphone. When he arrived, it caused a burst of laughter. "That won't work. In the future, heavy machinery factories will rely on the skills of old masters, but they will rely more on you young technical workers, and more importantly, on the combination of these technologies with advanced management experience. This is our advantage," Du Yan said to the workers around him, "But these are things after the development of the factory. Now please disperse according to Director Tu's arrangement. There is a meeting inside. If there are any problems, we will solve them at an appropriate time in the future. Master Lao Gou, And all the masters of the heavy machinery factory, please take everyone back first. Please believe that the county committee and government will not let you down." The originally excited workers began to talk in low voices, and some prestigious people began to discuss it in low voices. The old workers began to persuade. Although some workers were still dissatisfied, with the persuasion of those old workers and some young backbones, the workers began to slowly retreat. As more and more people left, the gate of the county party committee compound finally slowly It got quiet. Du Yan stood at the door and greeted every worker passing by, until Tu Xiangdong walked up to him. "Xiao Du," Tu Xiangdong said in a low voice while looking at the slowly dispersing crowd, "you've gone too far." "Then why did you call me out, Director Tu?" Du Yan turned to look at Tu Xiangdong and looked at Tu Xiangdong. With a calm expression, Du Yan shook his head, "Director Tu, you are taking a risk. This is really unlike you." "Then what should I be?" Tu Xiangdong's mouth twitched. "Speaking of which, sometimes I You don¡¯t even know what I should be like, so how do you know, but Xiao Du, I am determined this time.¡± Du Yan nodded without answering. He knew what Tu Xiangdong¡¯s seemingly meaningless words were. Meaning, the secret to Tu Xiangdong's ability to sit firmly in the sensitive position of director of the County Party Committee Office in Diaoyutai for so many years is to never simply take sides. For Tu Xiangdong, his identity is very simple. He is the butler of the county committee. No matter who sits in the position of county committee secretary, he is loyal to him wholeheartedly. It is this behavior that makes his identity appear very aloof and stable. when. It¡¯s just that the result of this attitude is that no oneThe Party Secretary truly regarded Tu Xiangdong as one of his own, and this seemed to be the result of Tu Xiangdong's perseverance in pursuing the case. Now, Tu Xiangdong took the initiative to show his unexpected intention to repay Du Yan, who was not only lower than him but also in the middle of a storm. This made Du Yan have to admire his rare courage. As for how sincere Tu Xiangdong's repayment was, Du Yan didn't want to explore. He knew Tu Xiangdong's thoughts very well. For Tu Xiangdong, who seemed to be in turmoil now, he might not be a potential stock. Du Yan believed that as long as he If Tu Xiangdong does not fall and can move forward, he will not leave. On the contrary, if he falls, Tu Xiangdong will be the first to abandon himself. When the door of the county party committee finally became quiet, Du Yan turned around and walked towards the auditorium. When he saw Chu Yilan standing at the corridor window looking outside, Du Yan ignored her and walked directly inside. "Director Du," Chu Yilan stopped Du Yan, "I want to ask, do you think it is appropriate to solve the problem by yourself?" "Is there anything inappropriate, Secretary-General Chu?" Du Yan looked at Chu Yilan, At this time, there was no look in his eyes that made Chu Yilan feel frivolous. On the contrary, the seriousness and even a hint of anger made Chu Yilan stunned. "Secretary-General Chu, for you leaders in the city, old The heavy machinery factory is just a baggage and a bunch of numbers, big or small, but for the tens of thousands of Pingling people who rely on the factory, it is their job and life. How many people have to rely on it to support their families? " Here, Du Yan suddenly looked at Chu Yilan with a bored look. For a cadre like Chu Yilan who had a profound background and stayed away from the grassroots from the beginning to gain seniority in the agency, and then was promoted when the opportunity came. , how can they understand what kind of life the people at the bottom live? Du Yan's unabashed look made Chu Yilan feel angry. She could see the obvious disdain for her on Du Yan's face. It was as if he was looking at a little girl who was not sensible at all. This Chu Yilan felt her heart getting angry. She had slightly changed her opinion of Du Yan because of the scene she just saw, but she disappeared immediately. "Director Du, what you just said is not consistent with the status of a county party committee leader," Chu Yilan said in a cold tone, "your words are very ill-considered and even have serious problems." "Then Secretary-General Chu Just report this situation to Deputy Secretary Zhang," Du Yan replied impatiently, "I believe Deputy Secretary Zhang is very willing to hear about Adou's situation." After saying that, he ignored Chu Yi who was standing there. Lan opened the door of the auditorium and walked in. Chu Yilan stood in the corridor blankly. She didn't expect that this little gangster had reached this stage and still spoke so harshly. Didn't he know that Zhang Wenliang could speak like this at a public meeting? He had obviously already done it. Are you determined to take him down? Chu Yilan gritted her teeth and was about to follow him into the venue, but she stopped after grabbing the door handle. After thinking for a while, she turned around and walked out of the auditorium and came to an office. Two cadres who were chatting inside immediately greeted her respectfully. When they saw that she was about to make a call, they hurriedly avoided it. Chu Yilan held the microphone and pondered for a moment, then dialed a number. "Hello, I'm Chu Yijun, who are you?" the other party asked. "Brother, it's me." Chu Yilan said. "Xiaolan?" The person on the phone asked, "Are you okay?" "Brother, do you know a person named Du Yan in Pingling?" Chu Yilan asked softly. "Du Yan? Why are you asking him?" Chu Yijun asked in surprise, and then immediately added, "Do you have anything to do with him?" "Brother, what are you talking about?" Chu Yilan was a little annoyed. said. "No, I made a mistake," Chu Yijun, who knew he had made a mistake, smiled, but then his tone became slightly serious, "I'm asking you why you suddenly asked about him?" "I'm in Pingling now. "Chu Yilan said, "There are some problems here regarding the restructuring of a factory. I came here with Deputy Secretary Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee. Brother, do you really know Du Yan?" Chu Yijun on the phone was silent for a while before speaking: "Xiaolan, there are some things that are not convenient to talk about on the phone. I am not sure about some of the situations here, but listen to me and try to interfere as little as possible about Du Yan." "What?" Chu Yilan was greatly surprised. After asking, she didn't expect to get such an answer. "You're right, brother, things here are very complicated, and there are some things that even Dad doesn't fully grasp." Chu Yijun's slightly worried tone came through the phone, "Especially at this time, it is even more important to stay away from trouble, and "Xiaolan, I have something to talk to you about," Chu Yijun continued, "Dad has already sent a message, maybe recentlyYou have to move. " "Where to go? "Chu Yilan asked without being surprised. "It just so happens that this is where you are staying now. "Chu Yijun said with a hint of emotion. "Pingling? "Chu Yilan's red lips couldn't help but open slightly. At this moment, she suddenly saw a Mitsubishi Pajero roaring into the county party committee compound through the window. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 15 Chapter 15 A Slap in the Face! Chu Yilan looked at Pajero driving into the county party committee compound through the window with some surprise. Chu Yilan had never seen such an arrogant person driving in a first-level party and government compound. Although the Pingling County Committee was a subordinate in her or Zhang Wenliang's eyes, after all, it was the seat of a county party office. This made Chu Yilan Lan couldn't help but raise her beautiful eyebrows. Pajero circled around the county committee yard and stopped. Coincidentally, he stopped outside Chu Yilan's office. The sudden appearance of Pajero also startled the staff in the county party committee compound. After all, the gathered workers had just dispersed. Listening to the faint and continuous applause coming from the auditorium, it seemed that the meeting was about to end early. The leaders are about to come out. If something happens at this moment, they cannot afford it. So immediately several people ran towards the direction of Pajero. Chu Yilan, who was watching all this from the window, felt a little nervous. Although she came down in the name of the leader of the municipal party committee, she mainly accompanied Zhang Wenliang. Even now she understood why she was asked to come down, and she probably didn't. It had something to do with her next move, but after all, as the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, she had certain responsibilities for Zhang Wenliang's safety during his trip. Chu Yilan immediately walked out of the office and walked towards the Pajero. Several staff members had already arrived in front of the Pajero. Seeing Chu Yilan, they were even more nervous. After all, if something went wrong in front of the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, it would really be a big deal. Walk along. At this moment, the front and rear doors of the Pajero opened at the same time. To the surprise of several people in front of the car, two young girls got out of the car. Chu Yilan couldn't help but feel quite surprised. She didn't expect that it was two girls who drove the car so arrogantly. And if you look closely, you will find that one of them is wearing a snow-white cold-proof suit on the upper body, a pair of water-blasted jeans on the lower body, and a pair of shoes on the feet. The beautiful girl wearing cute white fur snow boots and combing her long hair into two high princess braids may not be an adult yet. "Are you looking for someone?" A young cadre asked in astonishment. At the same time, his eyes secretly looked at the two young girls opposite. He saw the surprisingly beautiful little girl looking around curiously and then looked at him. The young cadre's face Shang looked away slightly warmly, but couldn't help but feel his heartbeat as he looked into the eyes of another girl with an unusually hot figure. "Sister Xiaoyun, is this what the county committee is like? The conditions are bad enough." The young girl ignored the cadres who asked her questions. She stomped a pair of tiger-headed snow boots on the ground alternately. He looked around curiously and asked his companions. It's just that her words made several Pingling cadres embarrassed. Although Pingling was the most backward county in Taihua, no one had ever said it so unceremoniously. "So I won't let you come," the girl driving the car looked at the girl helplessly, "Okay, why are you following me so far away? There's nothing interesting in this place." "What on earth do you do?" was left aside. The young cadre asked angrily, but when the girl's beautiful big eyes looked at him accusingly, his tone changed, "Um, do you have anything to help me with?" Chu Yilan frowned slightly. , she felt that she had seen the potential of Pingling cadres. Just when she was about to go up and speak, the two closed doors of the small auditorium were pushed open. Surrounded by a group of cadres, Li Peizheng accompanied Zhang Wenliang and walked out. Behind them, the Pingling County Party Committee and the Municipal Government The leaders accompanying the inspection followed. The few people in front of the Pajero couldn't help but become nervous. They looked at the leaders who walked out of the small auditorium first. Although they didn't know what the meeting inside was like, looking at the downcast faces of the leaders, several people immediately felt unusually nervous. . Zhang Wenliang, who was walking at the front, had a gloomy face, and Li Peizheng and other leaders next to him didn't look good either. Unlike other meetings, which always ended in a harmonious mood, when they walked out of the small auditorium, the county committee courtyard seemed to be enveloped in chaos. There was a suffocating and depressing atmosphere. "We'll look for him!" A crisp voice suddenly broke the silence! Just when the cadres were stunned when they saw the leaders coming out, the girl suddenly walked around them and ran up the steps of the small auditorium in a few steps. Everyone stopped in shock because of her sudden appearance. , she stretched out her hands and hugged the arm of Du Yan, who was walking eastward with Tu and whispering something! For a time, everyone in the county committee courtyard couldn't help but look stunned and surprised when they saw this scene. The staff turned pale with fright. They never expected that this little girl, who looked harmless to humans and animals, would be so bold. Not only did she stand in front of the leaders, she even hugged the county committee member Du The director's arm, in this cold weather, several people suddenlyI had to break out in a cold sweat! Du Yan, whose arm was suddenly hugged, couldn't help but be startled. He looked at this beautiful and lively little girl who suddenly jumped out. It wasn't until she called out "Du Yan" in pure Beijing language that he said "Ah" She shouted: "Jiawen? Why did you come to Pingling?" "I didn't expect that I came with Sister Xiaoyun," Song Jiawen giggled, and she let go of Du Yan's arm that she was holding tightly. He covered his delicate ears, which were red with cold, with his hands in pink plush gloves, while stamping his feet on the ground, "It's so cold here in Hexi, my feet are almost freezing." Du Yanxiang arrived. Only then did he react and the two cadres who wanted to pull Song Jiawen away waved their hands. The appearance of Song Jiawen really surprised him. He originally thought that he might never see the little princess of the Song family again from now on. "Director Du, do you know me?" Liao Kun, who was standing nearby, suddenly asked, but everyone could hear the vague ambiguity in his tone. When he asked, people looked at Du Yan with confused eyes. It gets even weirder. "A child from a friend's family," Du Yan turned around and said to Li Peizheng, "her brother and I are friends, his name is Jiawen." The corners of Li Peizheng's eyes twitched inadvertently, and his eyes quickly glanced at Song Jiawen's face. , and then looked at Zhao Xiaoyun, who was standing in front of Pajero a little further away, seemingly helpless. "Director Du has a lot of friends," Zhang Wenliang said calmly. When he saw Song Jiawen's surprising beauty, although she was still a little green, he couldn't help but have a trace of greed in his eyes. He didn't expect that He unexpectedly saw such a beautiful little girl. Thinking of what she would be like when she grew up, he looked at Xiang Du Yan and his eyes became a little fierce. "But Comrade Du Yan, this is Pingling." County Party Committee Courtyard, please don¡¯t get involved in your personal life issues.¡± After hearing Zhang Wenliang¡¯s deliberately misinterpreted words, the people around him fell silent. Zhang Wenliang's speech just now in the small auditorium can be said to have completely revealed his attitude of beating Du Yan to death with a stick. Earlier, the two men had threatened each other when they first met, and they were already among the cadres. As word spread, the cadres who came out of the small auditorium one after another couldn't help but remain silent and watch. "I'm sorry, who are you?" Song Jiawen suddenly stepped forward and looked at Zhang Wenliang. Although she was in front of many people, there was no cowardice in her eyes when she looked at Zhang Wenliang. In fact, she was used to seeing all kinds of people. For Song Jiawen, a high-ranking official, even if she is facing a provincial party committee member, she is no different from ordinary people. "Jiawen, be polite, this is Deputy Secretary Zhang of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee." The tone of Du Yan's introduction made the people next to him take a breath, because no matter how it sounded, it sounded like "saving some face for others" mean. "It turns out to be Deputy Secretary Zhang, hello," Song Jiawen, who was very obedient and like a good baby, smiled. She didn't know that her smile made not only some young cadres, but also some older cadres feel slightly disturbed. " I am a first-year student at Jinghua University. My name is Song Jiawen. I would like to ask Deputy Secretary Zhang, do you mean life style issues when you talk about them? Do you know that you are responsible for slandering others at will? " Zhang Wen Liang was stunned. He never expected that this little girl not only understood his evil intentions immediately, but also asked him directly in front of so many people. Then he looked at Du Yan next to him. With a half-smiling expression, Zhang Wenliang's face suddenly darkened. "Director Du, what's going on?" A cadre accompanying the city immediately stepped forward and asked Du Yan in a low voice, "Do you know the impact of this woman asking this?" "I don't know, Chief Wang. What are you talking about?" Du Yan smiled at first, then his face darkened. "But I also want to ask Deputy Secretary Zhang, what do you mean by this life issue?" This is a direct quarrel? ! Everyone looked at this scene in astonishment. No one expected that Du Yan would directly challenge Zhang Wenliang in front of so many cadres just after he was hit! "Director Du!" "Xiao Du!" Guo Songlin and Chu Yilan, who came over, shouted in a low voice almost at the same time. At the same time, Guo Songlin looked at Li Peizheng with some doubts. He didn't understand why Li Peizheng hadn't spoken even after it had reached this point. But as the county magistrate, he couldn't continue to remain silent, let alone look at the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee. He made the conflict unabashedly public: "If you have any misunderstandings or opinions, you can talk about it later. Now you take this girl and leave first." "Well, County Magistrate Guo, I'll excuse you to welcome Deputy Secretary Zhang to the dinner," Du Yan looked at Zhang Wenliang, who was turning blue, and paused for a moment, then he stepped forward.At the next step, when people couldn't help but worry that he would do something stupid because of his youthfulness, he said to Zhang Wenliang in a voice that only two people could hear, "The girl you just slandered in public is named Song, and her father is from the State Planning Commission." Director Song." After saying that, Du Yan turned around and gestured to Song Jiawen without looking at Zhang Wenliang, who suddenly turned pale. "Let's go, you, Miss Xiaoyun, are waiting impatiently." Under different gazes, Du Yan and Song Jiawen walked towards Zhao Xiaoyun, who was standing motionless in front of the Pajero, but with his right hand always on his waist. Seeing her actions, Du Yan suddenly thought evilly in his heart, what if? If I had deliberately provoked him just now, maybe Sui Jianchao, the Minister of Machinery, would have a funeral for his son-in-law. Seeing Pajero arrogantly turning around in the yard and then rushing out of the county party committee compound, the livid-faced Zhang Wenliang let out a deep groan. He glared unhappily at Li Peizheng next to him, who had been keeping silent. It made him very angry, but what made him even more angry was, how could he inexplicably offend the Song family? Zhang Wenliang is actually not very clear about what kind of power the Song family has. Although he is Sui Jianchao's son-in-law, his position is not to the point where he can really see something clearly. However, from some of his father-in-law's words, he can guess that the Song family should be able to communicate with his father-in-law. The backer behind the man is a long and short behemoth. It was precisely because of this that Zhang Wenliang was so sensitive when he heard about Du Yan's intervention in the restructuring of the Heavy Machinery Factory. He knew that Du Yan should be involved in some way with the Song family, which made him feel that Du Yan had intervened. The restructuring of the Heavy Machinery Factory should be related to the Song family, which made him not to take it lightly. After all, this is not only related to the Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory, but also a major event related to the future asset direction of the entire Hexi Province and even the heavy industry in the Mainland. . After there are already rumors that the Ministry of Machinery Industry is about to be withdrawn and split up, it depends on whether this small company can take this opportunity to open up the situation and set a benchmark for swallowing up the huge assets that have already made them salivate in the future. What¡¯s next for the small Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory? Because of this, Zhang Wenliang is determined to attack Du Yan at all costs. No matter what kind of background Du Yan has, he will never show mercy. Moreover, according to the relevant information he knows, the relationship between Du Yan and the Song family should not be too deep. Being more intense probably wouldn't cause a violent reaction from the Song family. More importantly, Zhang Wenliang believed that others would not know his true purpose in Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory, which allowed him to unscrupulously push forward the restructuring of the Heavy Machinery Factory in the name of the municipal party committee resolution. Before that, Du Yan's stumbling block must be kicked away. But he never expected that this trip to Pingling would be so unsatisfactory. Not only did Du Yan confront him from the very beginning, but he even inexplicably involved a son of the Song family. He has heard of Song Jiawen, the youngest child in the third generation of the Song family, the daughter of Song Guoping, director of the State Planning Commission, and the favorite granddaughter of Mr. Song. Looking at the way the little girl was making out with Du Yan, their relationship seemed unusual. It was just because of this that he wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble, but who would have thought that he would actually kick the iron plate with his feet. Thinking of this, Zhang Wenliang's heart suddenly jumped again. He looked at Li Peizheng next to him again. It was said that Li Peizheng was from Qu Xiangshan. This was almost universally known in Taihua officialdom. But why did Du Yan ask Li Peizheng alone just now? What about that girl "called Jiawen"? Li Peizheng fell silent immediately after hearing these words. Does Li Peizheng know who this girl is? What is his relationship with the Song family? Can he actually know the name of Song Guoping's youngest daughter? Thinking of this, Zhang Wenliang's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Li Peizheng. Although he was still annoyed that he had made a fool of himself in public by sitting on the sidelines, but when he thought that Li Peizheng might have a close relationship with the Song family, he couldn't help but feel a little unable to vent. At this time, Li Peizheng also sighed in his heart. He never expected that the relationship between Du Yan and the Song family seemed to have reached such a close level. Is Song Jiawen a child of the Song family? If he looked at them like this and looked at them like that, Li Peizheng couldn't help but feel his heart move. He felt that Zhang Wenliang was dissatisfied at first but didn't say anything after all. Li Peizheng couldn't help but feel that Du Yan reminded him of Song Jiawen's identity. While sighing, I felt secretly grateful. ¡°At least in this situation, Zhang Wenliang, who doesn¡¯t know the truth, thinks that he and the Song family should have a close relationship. What is needed in the officialdom is this kind of ambiguity that makes others unclear about one's true identity. The more vague and unclear it is, the more likely it is that others will speculate about oneself without being able to understand. Who would have thought that in just over a year, he would already be taking advantage of Du Yan's influence? Thinking of this, Li Peizheng also had mixed feelings, all kinds of feelings in his heart. ¡°Secretary-General Chu, it¡¯s already noon. Do you think it¡¯s right?? "Tu Xiangdong was not only chilled when he saw the scene, but even found it difficult to step down, so he immediately asked Chu Yilan tentatively. "Then let's arrange for Secretary Zhang to take a rest first," Chu Yilan, who understood the situation, said immediately. She didn't expect that one would come. She would encounter so many things when she went to Pingling, and then she thought about how her father actually thought of arranging her to come to Pingling, a place of right and wrong. She really didn't quite understand what her father was thinking, but even though she thought so in her heart , but still smiled and said, "Secretary Zhang, the comrades in Pingling have made arrangements to pick you up. Do you think you can take care of everyone's emotions?" "Hearing Chu Yilan's half-truth and half-joking inquiry, Zhang Wenliang's face gradually improved. He had to admit that Chu Yilan, as the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, was very good at communicating with leaders and subordinates. She is competent, and she is so young and beautiful. If Zhang Wenliang had not known about her relationship with a certain leader in the province, Zhang Wenliang would have already thought of attacking her. ¡°Well, let¡¯s eat first and do our work first. Are you full?" Zhang Wenliang forced a smile. He felt that his trip to Pingling was somewhat inconsistent with his imagination. Especially regarding Du Yan, it was not only unexpectedly difficult, but also unexpected. Thinking that in the end, this boy actually used the Song family children to appear out of nowhere to severely damage his face, and thinking about the news that he had just heard about the workers of the heavy machinery factory gathering outside the county party committee compound, Zhang Wenliang felt that his trip It may be more troublesome than you think. "Xiao Chu, regarding the upcoming inspection arrangements, please contact your comrades in Pingling again. " Hearing Zhang Wenliang's hint, Chu Yilan secretly snorted. She knew that Zhang Wenliang had obviously heard about the workers blocking the gate of the county committee, so she thought that he would not go to the heavy machinery factory to inspect the heavy machinery factory again. , after all, it was their territory. If a deputy secretary of the municipal party committee asked workers to surround him, the impact would be too bad. And almost everyone knows that Zhang Wenliang¡¯s true purpose of coming here is to target Du. But now it seems that things are not going so smoothly. I don't know if he is confident or if he is completely brave. Du Yan confronts Zhang Wenliang head-on without any scruples. Unless Zhang Wenliang can capture Du Yan at that time, otherwise This kind of open conflict between superiors and subordinates is a big blow to Zhang Wenliang's prestige. After all, in the eyes of his superiors, a person who cannot control his subordinates must have limited abilities. Probably, Du Yan is right. Only after this point did he dare to confront Zhang Wenliang, but this was of no benefit to Du Yan. Why did he do this? Chu Yilan couldn't help but think this while agreeing to Zhang Wenliang's words, Somehow, she suddenly remembered the look Du Yan looked at her after he persuaded the workers to leave. In addition to boredom and disdain, there was also a deep anger in his eyes, which reminded her of Du Yan's previous treatment of the workers. With what they said, Chu Yilan couldn't help but feel that there seemed to be something not so annoying about that arrogant little hooligan. Just as Deputy Secretary-General Chu was thinking about it, the "little hooligan" she was thinking about was exactly the same. Sitting in the Pajero scratching his head, Zhang Wenliang's true purpose of coming to Pingling was very clear. Neither Zhang Wenliang nor the people behind him would be merciful to him, the person who caused trouble for them. Du Yan knew very well whether his strength and background were something he could resist now. It was precisely because of this that Du Yan involved the Song family from the very beginning. Among the red families that were rumored in later generations. Not only is it the most low-key, it is also the wisest. This cannot but be said to be the result of the far-reaching vision of the Song family. He left the core of power early, but deeply rooted his roots in the economic foundation related to the national economy and people's livelihood. While cleverly avoiding the catastrophes and several upper-level power struggles that followed, the old man had already extended his influence to every corner of the domestic economic field. Now, with the deepening of the restructuring, a group of people have emerged. People who have been eager to plunder have finally begun to reach out to state-owned assets such as Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory. The power of this force makes people shudder even just thinking about it, because the representatives among them are not. But those who formulate such national policies are symbols of the power of the entire country! Do you want to fight against such a huge system? Du Yan never thinks that he is that great. He always believes in the famous saying of the ancients. If you are good at yourself, you can help the world. But now that you have given yourself this opportunity, you have to do something no matter what, and it is not in vain to experience your life again. But now, Director Du's mind is not on these matters related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Sitting in the back seat of the car, looking at the two beauties, one big and one small, in front of him, Du Yan scratched his head. He didn¡¯t expect that Song Jiawen would suddenly come to Pingling.Missing, the little girl who ran to the disco to dance with others had turned into a cute and beautiful young girl. Seeing her lying on the passenger seat and constantly turning back to talk to him, Du Yan wondered if there was anything he could do with her. Coping with it. "This is my first time coming to the mainland. I didn't expect it to be so difficult here," Song Jiawen said to Du Yan, "Is this the most difficult place in the country? I never thought you could work in a place like this." "The most difficult place. "Where?" Du Yan smiled bitterly, thinking of the unbelievably miserable life in some remote places exposed in later Internet news, Du Yan looked outside the car, "In some places, a family only has one pair of pants, and in some places, children are sold. , and there are some places where men go astray in order to live, and women" Du Yan shook his head, "Jiawen, Pingling is hard, but compared with those places, it is good, but if you don't do something, Maybe that situation will appear in Pingling soon. " At this point, Du Yan sighed softly. He remembered that after the heavy industrial bases in the three northern provinces fell in two years, the entire city would often rely on one large enterprise. The place where he lived was suddenly in trouble, and when he thought about the helpless choices made by countless families in order to make a living, Du Yan suddenly felt that the "poor and prosperous" life creed he believed in before was slowly collapsing. It seemed that she was infected by Du Yan's emotions. Although she still didn't believe what Du Yan described, Song Jiawen's emotions slowly became silent. After a while, she said: "I came here this time to see how my sister-in-law is doing. As for Sister Xiaowan, it just so happened that Sister Xiaoyun brought me here when she returned to the capital. " Du Yan nodded slightly. Since the news of Song Jiayi's engagement, Ou Xiaowan left the capital and went to Hexi, but Du Yan never had the chance to see her. She was the only one. Now that Song Jiawen said this, Du Yan felt that the Song family was not unfeeling towards Ou Xiaowan. At least the relationship between Song Jiawen and Ou Xiaowan should be good. As for Qiao Luowei, Du Yan now feels a little strange. Looking at Qiao Luowei's current posture, it seems that he has not been squeezed out of the core of the Song family as he had guessed before. Moreover, judging from many clues, Qiao Luowei Wei is not the core figure of the Song family just because she is the wife of the Song family. Qiao Luowei seems to have a rich background. "Zhang Wenliang is coming with great force this time," Zhao Xiaoyun, who had not spoken to Du Yan since he got in the car, finally spoke, "but this is in line with your previous guess, and Mr. Qiao also said that Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory is It's a pilot project for them to prepare for the future." "A feast," Du Yan whispered something that only he could truly understand, "How is the mission I asked you to do, Xiaoyun?" "It's done. "Zhao Xiaoyun said angrily in his heart. Facing Du Yan's tone of voice as if he was taking orders for granted, Zhao Xiaoyun felt that he couldn't get angry at all. This bastard was getting more and more arrogant by kicking his nose and face. "I found someone. There is a financial company that is not as powerful as Magotan. They should be able to help you do that assessment. Their name is Yunpeng Finance. " "Yun is Sister Xiaoyun's Yun," Song Jiawen interrupted with a smile, "Peng is Brother Haipeng's Peng, Haipeng. "Brother is Uncle Qiu's son and Sister Xiaoyun's fianc¨¦." Hearing Song Jiawen's words, Du Yan's heart tightened. He looked at Zhao Xiaoyun in the rearview mirror, and Zhao Xiaoyun was driving. He didn't know what happened. , the steering wheel in his hand shook involuntarily, and Pajero walked away on the road! Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 16 Chapter 16 The Feast is About to Begin Zhao Xiaoyun's car always drove very fast, so when her hand slipped, the Pajero immediately drew a large arc, which frightened Song Jiawen, who was sitting next to her, and screamed "ah". If there weren't no cars on the road at this time, there might have been an accident. "Do it, don't move!" Zhao Xiaoyun didn't know whether it was because she was in a bad mood or to hide something. She impatiently shouted at Du Yan, who was holding on to the back of the front seat because the car suddenly shook, and then she She turned to Song Jiawen who was in a daze and said, "Don't mention Qiu Haipeng from now on. I have nothing to do with him." "Sister Xiaoyun," Song Jiawen looked at Zhao Xiaoyun a little timidly. Everyone at home doted on her. The little princess of the Song family, who is accustomed to being used to it, is rarely afraid of Zhao Xiaoyun. "Didn't you say that Brother Youxun has been asking you to get engaged to Brother Haipeng as soon as possible and get married as soon as possible?" "My brother is my brother, and I am. Me." Zhao Xiaoyun glanced at Du Yan, who had been silent, in the rearview mirror, and then said as if to himself, "I will follow Mr. Qiao from now on, and I won't get married until I get married." "Sister Xiaoyun, you are a celibate. "Why didn't I know this before?" Song Jiawen asked a little strangely, then turned to Du Yan behind him and said, "You have never met Brother Hai Peng. He is a capable person. He went abroad to study a few years ago. Finance and trade, it is said that he even received a scholarship from the Ivy League University in the United States. ""Oh, a top student," Du Yan muttered. Speaking of which, he knew about the scholarship from the Ivy League University League in the United States. It was different from those who just had mixed diplomas. Compared with the returnees from the Pheasant University, the scholarship from the Ivy League University League is indeed a real thing. "It's still a turtle." Du Yan muttered again. "Turtle?" Song Jiawen asked strangely, "What turtle?" "Elites who have returned from overseas," Du Yan leaned on the seat and looked at Zhao Xiaoyun's back and said, "This time it's really Sorry for bothering you." Zhao Xiaoyun seemed to feel Du Yan's eyes from behind. He looked up in the rearview mirror from time to time and saw Du Yan staring at her back. She seemed to have something else in mind for Song Jiawen. He pointedly said: "My brother makes the decisions on his own, and I make the decisions on my own affairs. It's impossible for me and you, Brother Haipeng." "How is it impossible? Unless you are really a celibate, otherwise you won't be as good as Brother Haipeng." Where can I find my boyfriend? Besides, didn't I hear from Brother Youxun that Uncle Zhao also agrees to this marriage? " "Jiawen, I already said that I make my own decisions," Zhao Xiaoyun was a little annoyed. She raised her head and looked up. When Du Yan was looking out of the car, his heart couldn't help but he stepped on the accelerator, "Sit tight!" As she shouted, the Pajero's engine immediately roared, and Du Yan's body couldn't help but feel the sudden acceleration. She leaned back violently on the backrest, while Song Jiawen stared blankly at the streets and trees rushing past her through the windshield in front of her. Pajero drove forward as if it was galloping. Zhao Xiaoyun stopped talking because he was angry. Song Jiawen also obviously felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, but became a lot more honest. And since Du Yan heard that Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly After having her fianc¨¦, she became silent. For a while, except for the sound of the car driving, no other sound could be heard in the car. The car quickly drove along the Xiaoqing River and onto the highway leading to the west of the county. Speaking of which, there have been some changes in Pingling over the past year. At least the West Market side seems to be much more lively than before, especially the Over the past year or so, the area along the Xiaoqing River has gradually formed a climate. The original West Market can no longer accommodate so many merchants, and more people have begun to look for door curtains for houses along the Xiaoqing River. "Let's go to Liyuju for dinner first," Du Yan finally spoke. He could see the cold look on Zhao Xiaoyun's face. He thought it was because he was unhappy with her seemingly indifferent attitude towards her fiance. "Jiawen hasn't eaten yet." Let¡¯s go to Guohexi cuisine and try it this time.¡± ¡°I just need a place to warm up first,¡± Song Jiawen¡¯s face turned pale. She didn¡¯t know why Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly lost his temper. She was very familiar with Zhao Xiaoyun. She knew that Zhao Xiaoyun would drive fast every time when he was in a bad mood, but it seemed that he would also drive fast sometimes when he was in a good mood. "Sister Xiaoyun, let's take a break." Looking at Song Jiawen's pitiful look , Zhao Xiaoyun nodded helplessly. She looked at Du Yan with some annoyance, who had already opened the car door and got out of the car, and followed behind towards Liyuju with Song Jiawen. Du Yan walked ahead and looked at the cars parked in the open space in front of Liyuju. He knew that he would not see anything today. The county cadres should be attending a banquet to welcome Zhang Wenliang at this time, but even so , Du Yan nodded secretly when he saw the cars that were packed with cars even though Liyu Juwai was not of high quality.  "This old Shen is really good at doing business. Liyuju is becoming more and more prosperous. Du Yan thought to himself as he took the lead and walked into the door of Liyuju. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a rush of heat. The noise immediately reached my ears. Liyuju has undergone some changes compared to what Du Yan saw more than a year ago. In addition to the lobby and the area that connects the front and back and leads to the Xiaoqing River at the back, a large space has been expanded on one side where it used to be against the wall. In the side hall, what is very conspicuous is that the original only one staircase leading to the second floor has been changed into two staircases on the left and right. It already looks like a regular restaurant. Seeing Du Yan and others coming in, a waiter walked up to greet him enthusiastically. This made Du Yan feel that Lao Shen really knew how to do business. Although it was just an ordinary greeting, few people could do it at this time. Thought-of. "Are there any single rooms?" Du Yan asked. "It's a coincidence that you're here. If it were any other day, there would be quite a few today," the waitress said as she led the way forward. "I heard that the leaders came for inspection today, and all the county cadres went to welcome them. Otherwise we would have no space at this point." Du Yan nodded. He already knew that Shen Hefu would do business. Just from the fact that he could open a branch in Daqing Investment Capital so quickly, he could tell that this person has a good vision. Qian, and as far as Du Yan knew, Shen Hefu was going to make an unknown move soon, which made Du Yan feel that Shen Hefu was really not a simple person. Since he didn't intend to disturb Shen Hefu this time and was in a hurry, Du Yan simply ordered a few dishes. Song Jiawen, who had just finished ordering and took off her down jacket to reveal a light blue denim vest, suddenly stood up with a red face and said, "Sister Xiaoyun, let me go out for a while." "Do you want me to accompany you?" Zhao Xiaoyun asked. . "No, I can go by myself." Song Jiawen said and turned around and walked out the door. Du Yan was just stunned when he saw her like this, and Zhao Xiaoyun had already snorted: "What are you looking at, you have bad thoughts?" "What nonsense are you talking about," Du Yan said lightly, his behavior made Zhao Xiaoyun's teeth itch with hatred, "I I'm thinking about something." "What good thing can you think about, and who's the girl?" Zhao Xiaoyun didn't know why he felt unhappy when he saw Du Yan like this. "How's your girlfriend doing this time? Zhang Wenliang came to Pingling to trouble you. Your mother-in-law won't regret it again. " "I haven't seen Qianqian since I returned to Pingling," Du Yan replied casually. "It's weird to believe you. How can you endure it with your virtue?" Zhao Xiaoyun gave Du Yan a sour look, but just when she suddenly felt something bad, Du Yan had already moved in front of her and hugged her. On her waist, hot lips suddenly covered her lips. "You are really going to die! Be careful to let Jiawen see it!" Zhao Xiaoyun immediately struggled in panic, but Du Yan's hand was too tight. When he finally let go, Zhao Xiaoyun's face was red and his breathing was rapid. "You are crazy, always One day I have to let you kill me." "If you want to blame me, blame my uncle, he is so unreasonable," Du Yan looked at Zhao Xiaoyun, whose face turned red from his kiss, and laughed, "I was still thinking about him. Why are you so kind to let us go? It turns out that he secretly wants to drain the pot. He thinks that as long as you get married, everything will be fine. It's really unreasonable." "Thank you for saying so," Zhao Xiaoyun stared angrily. Asking Du Yan, "My brother is always doing his best for me. It's not like you spend all day thinking about how to take advantage of me or asking me to do this or that for you. What do you think I am?" "Then you just want me to do this or that for you." Marry that turtle, I'm not stopping you," Du Yan sat back in his chair. Only then did he realize that his breath was actually no less sour than Zhao Xiaoyun, and only then did he realize, The relationship between me and Zhao Xiaoyun is really difficult and unrealistic. Not to mention Zhao Xiaoyun's seemingly profound family background, just in this era and my own identity, there is no chance for me to embrace him. As Zhao Youxun said, he is not one of those people who can do whatever they want but no one can control him. Just like Song Jiayi and Song Jiawen's father, Song Guoping, who was transferred to the director of the National Planning Commission years ago, he can not only be romantic, but also After giving birth to an illegitimate child like the Song family, you can vigorously cultivate it, but if you make one wrong step, you may fall into hell because of the so-called lifestyle issues. This is just like someone in later generations ridiculed. For the same woman, pole dancing in front of leaders is called art, and dancing in front of migrant workers is called pornography. This is due to national conditions, and he is obviously not at the point where Zhao Youxun said that he can ignore it or not. To the point of asking. Thinking about it this way, the original resentment towards Zhao Youxun gradually disappeared. Thinking about it, you can understand. How could Du Yan tolerate Du Fei being a lover for other men?   Even though he thought so, Du Yan couldn't cope with Zhao Youxun's trick of trying to pull the trigger. Seeing Zhao Xiaoyun hurriedly take out a handkerchief from his bag and wipe the lips he kissed, Du Yan smiled slightly He curled his lips and said, "What's so important? So what if the kid Jiawen sees it? What does she know? Besides, your brother is really annoying me, so I'll give him a blow." "You want it? What are you doing?" Zhao Xiaoyun glanced at Du Yan warily. "My brother is very powerful. You don't know." "When the time comes, I will give him some raw rice and let him become my uncle in advance." Looking at Zhao Xiaoyun. "You dare!" Zhao Xiaoyun said but couldn't help but shrink back. When she felt something hard between her lower back and the back of the chair, she suddenly thought of why she was inexplicably afraid of this bastard. ? "Okay, I won't tease you anymore," Du Yan shook his head with some interest. The fact that Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly had a fianc¨¦ made him feel bad. "Tell me about your Yunpeng Finance. They can take over big opportunities." Factory audit and evaluation? I think you should have told them in advance about the people involved." Seeing Du Yan suddenly talking about business, Zhao Xiaoyun felt a little disappointed, and she also knew Zhao Youxun's intention to help her. , she even thought that maybe she should just let nature take its course and develop with Qiu Haipeng, but for some reason, whenever she thought of Du Yan, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart. "Haipeng's father and my father are old comrades in arms," ??Zhao Xiaoyun whispered. She glanced at Du Yan secretly, "You haven't asked me who my father is?" "I don't think your father is an ordinary person. Soldier?" Du Yan smiled bitterly. He knew a long time ago that the so-called equality is just something to praise on paper, just like Qiao Luowei's marriage to Song Jiala is definitely not just because they truly love each other. , Zhao Xiaoyun can have such great power in the Song family as a bodyguard, and her brother Zhao Youxun can become the chief officer of such a force, these have shown that their origins are by no means as simple as ordinary military families. "My father is retired now," Zhao Xiaoyun said with some anger. "The unit he commanded when he participated in the counterattack was the battalion where Mr. Qiao's husband, the Song family, came from." Speaking of this, Zhao Xiaoyun showed a hint of sadness on his face. "After returning from the front line, He was transferred to a casual position and retired at the deputy division level a few years ago. " Du Yan was slightly startled. He vaguely guessed that the reason why Zhao Xiaoyun's father was in such a bad situation must have a lot to do with the death of the Song family. Perhaps for the Song family, Zhao Xiaoyun's father should be blamed for failing to protect the Song family's promising heir. "Xiaoyun" Du Yan said, and just when he was about to continue saying something, a sharp cry of "Ah" suddenly came from outside! "Jiawen!" Zhao Xiaoyun and Du Yan shouted at the same time. At the same time, Zhao Xiaoyun had already jumped over the chair next to him, pushed open the door and rushed out! When Du Yan rushed out of the room, he saw Zhao Xiaoyun rushing towards Song Jiawen, who was standing not far away with a panic-looking face, and a man in front of her. Before he could see clearly what was going on, Zhao Xiaoyun had already She grabbed the man's arm, and as she swung her whole body around her waist, swung her hips, swung her legs and swept across, the man flew up flatly, rolled and fell down the stairs with a loud scream! This sudden change shocked the guests who were eating in the lobby. People stood up and looked at the man who fell downstairs and couldn't get up for a while. When they saw Zhao Xiaoyun standing at the entrance of the building, they couldn't help but gathered around him. "Sister Xiaoyun!" Song Jiawen immediately let out a cry of grievance when she saw Zhao Xiaoyun. She looked down at her clothes with a pale face, only to see that a long slit had been cut on the side of the thick denim vest. Kouzi. "Jiawen, you're not hurt, are you?" Zhao Xiaoyun held Song Jiawen's shoulders and looked carefully, then touched her body randomly. "Tell me where you are injured?" "No, you scared me." Song Jiawen looked panicked. "As soon as I came over, I felt a tug on the side of my clothes. When I lowered my head, I saw this man was cutting my clothes with a knife." "Let me take care of him." Zhao Xiaoyun bent down and grabbed the knife that the man had dropped on the ground. A hand-sharpened short knife seemed to be specially used to cut people's clothes and steal wallets. At this time, the entire stairway was already crowded with people, because no one paid attention to what was going on. When they saw Zhao Xiaoyun coming down from the stairs with a bright knife, people couldn't help but make a commotion. The man had already gotten up. When he saw Zhao Xiaoyun coming down from the stairs, he couldn't help but panic. When he saw the people watching next to him, he suddenly shouted loudly: "She's going to kill someone, this woman is going to kill someone!" This Shouting, people around could not help but immediatelyHe dodged to the side, and as soon as the man saw an opportunity, he turned around and ran away! "Where to run!" Zhao Xiaoyun threw away the knife in his hand and reached for the back of his waist. Just when Du Yan saw this scene and was about to stop him, the two doors of Liyu Residence were suddenly hit by two policemen. Suddenly he barged in, and at the same time he took out the man who had just run to the door and pushed him to the ground! "Look where you are going. You are causing trouble for us these days. Are you tired of living?" A policeman slapped the man's arm hard while scolding him. Then he turned around and shouted loudly outside the door of Liyuju. "Wang Suo, we are blocking Chuanliuzi!" "Is it blocked?" A policeman with a good leadership came in with a few of his subordinates. He saw the man who was pinned to the ground and pointed, "First Go to the detention center. There is an order from the county today. All those who have committed crimes should be looked at first and then talk later. " As he said this, the policeman looked around as usual. When his eyes saw Du Yan walking down the stairs, He was stunned for a moment and then opened his mouth. "Lian Yi, do you have a mission?" Du Yan asked with a smile to Wang Lianyi who looked surprised. "Duwhy are you here?" Wang Lianyi asked in astonishment. Although this was not what he should have asked, he did feel that it was too strange. Deputy Secretary Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee came to inspect him and knew that he knew it, although he didn't know exactly what happened. Why, but from some rumors, he heard that this time it seemed that they were coming to Director Du, which made him a little worried. He had gone to the nearby county finance director Gong Yerong to inquire about it. After all, Lao Gong could be considered a close friend of Director Du. Like Director Du, they all belong to Secretary Li's line. Because of Zhang Wenliang's surprise inspection, Wang Lianyi had been patrolling the West Market area with his people since the morning for fear of something happening. When he heard that a habitual thief had appeared near Liyuju, he immediately led his people to rush over, but He never expected to see Du Yan here. Why is Director Du here? Wang Lianyi couldn't help but think about it, but when he saw the two beauties, one big and one small, standing next to Du Yan, Director Wang immediately had nothing good going on in his mind. So he didn't call out "Director Du", and immediately looked around, and then looked at Du Yan. The meaning was very clear, to see how Du Yan would solve the problem. Speaking of which, Du Yan didn't even accompany the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, but accompanied these two beauties like this in Liyu Juli. Moreover, it looked like the little beauties had been a little aggrieved. Look at Chuan Liuzi's embarrassed look, After just wandering around in his mind, he roughly understood what happened. At the same time, Director Wang also secretly made some thoughts in his mind. "Lian Yi, let's talk later." Du Yan said. He didn't expect that eating a meal would be a lot of things. It seems that Carp House is really a place of right and wrong. Thinking about it, he turned around, but he saw Carp Shen Hefu, the boss of Ju, has already walked over. "Wang Suo, why are you here? Do you have a mission?" Shen Hefu didn't look at Du Yan. He just talked to Wang Lianyi. Du Yan couldn't help but look at him deeply, thinking that this old Shen knew the depth. I understand that it is not convenient to greet myself at this time. "The county bureau is conducting a surprise attack," Wang Lianyi said nonchalantly, "Boss Shen has delayed your business. It's time for us to leave after we finish our work." "Wang Suo, then I won't delay your official business. More comrades from the office will come over in the future. , I feel safe doing business with you protecting me," Shen Hefu said with a smile. At this moment, Du Yan had already winked at Zhao Xiaoyun, and the three of them followed and walked out. When they came out, they saw that the waiter seemed to want to speak. Shen Hefu stretched out his hand and pulled her. After leaving Liyuju, they saw Wang Lianyi standing alone from a distance and looking over. Zhao Xiaoyun glared fiercely. Taking a look at Du Yan: "They are all your friends, right?" "This is called a revolutionary comrade," Du Yan corrected him, "A so-called hero needs three gangs, let alone like-minded ones?" "They are not good things." Zhao Xiaoyun said something casually, but she suddenly realized that she and Du Yan were acting too casually. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Song Jiawen next to her with a guilty conscience. Sure enough, Song Jiawen was looking at the two of them with strange eyes. Seeing Du Yan and the others approaching, Wang Lianyi immediately greeted them. Since the reception of the feast, at least in the Pingling County Public Security Bureau, it has been widely known that "Director Wang is Director Du's man". Du Yan praised Wang Lianyi's jokes in front of hundreds of cadres in the county. It has become a topic in Pingling official circles recently. Wang Lianyi knew that the word "Du" was now carved on his forehead. It could be said that he had been tied to Du Yan's car, so Wang Lianyi, who considered himself a direct descendant of Du Yan, had no scruples when speaking. "Director Du, tell me what you want me to do?" Wang Lianyi quietly looked back at the person who asked him toThe little beauty who is so dizzy has grown up so young and brought disaster to the country and the people. She will be able to pay her back in the future. No wonder Director Du even ignored Deputy Secretary Zhang. Thinking again about how the little beauty was frightened before, I guess it was impossible for Director Du to let Chuanliuzi go. Seeing Wang Lianyi's attitude that he might do something evil to Chuan Liuzi as long as he ordered it, Du Yan didn't feel very happy in his heart. "Lian Yi, I remember that you graduated from the police academy." Du Yan looked at Wang Lianyi. Although he knew that it was not easy to be innocent in a big dyeing vat, he didn't want this young police station chief whom he was optimistic about to get dyed with too much dye. "Lian Yi, you can't just be the director. In the future, I also hope that you can be the director of the county bureau, or even the director of the municipal bureau. I accept your offer, Lian Yi. What should I do?" What should I do?" Seeing the serious look on Du Yan's face, Wang Lianyi was sure that what Director Du said was true. He nodded. Just when he was about to speak, the intercom next to him suddenly rang: "Wang Suo, Suo Wang! Did you hear that?¡± ¡°Received, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Suo Wang, there¡¯s a call from the bureau, asking us to go to the county boundary to help the traffic police clear the road.¡± ¡°Okay. Yes, I understand." Wang Lianyi smiled bitterly at Du Yan, "Director Du, I have to go." "Go and do your own thing, we have to go too," Du Yan smiled. Watching Wang Lianyi leave, Du Yan turned back to Zhao Xiaoyun and shook his head helplessly: "It seems that we have to go hungry. Let's go to the front to eat." "No need, aren't there your little friends?" Zhao Xiaoyun said to him. In the distance, Liyuju, near Xiaoqing River, winked. Du Yan looked along and saw Shen and Fu Zheng walking over. "Director Du, why didn't you say hello to me when you came?" Shen Hefu laughed habitually, "You haven't eaten yet. Let's go inside just to let Director Du and the two ladies go to the back door." "Forget it, old man. "Shen, we still have something to do," Du Yan said to Shen Hefu, "Just bring us some food for the journey, and Lao Shen, I have something to tell you when I come back." Hearing Du Yan's words, Shen Hefu nodded. Although he didn't know what Du Yan was going to say to him, Du Yan's status as the leader of the county party committee forced him to be cautious. Although it was said that some leaders in the city seemed to have some opinions about Du Yan, Shen and Fu had other ideas. idea. For Shen Hefu, just from the fact that Du Yan proposed some general plans for the three towns more than a year ago, and the Daqingxiang Winery and Liuliji Porcelain Factory came into being, Du Yan has other people. He has no brains, let alone being able to stand up when everyone thinks he has failed. This is something ordinary people cannot do. Shen Hefu has always believed that he is where he is today precisely because he believes in the idea of ??multiple friends and multiple paths, so if Du Yan wants to ask him for something, no matter what it is, he will listen carefully and even handle it seriously. Pajero drove back on the road, but this time it was Du Yan who was driving. Zhao Xiaoyun and Song Jiawen were sitting in the back, eating the hot cooked food prepared by Shen Hefu in an uncivilized manner. The smell entered Du Yan's nose and made his My stomach growled involuntarily. As if he was deliberately irritating Du Yan, Zhao Xiaoyun gently tore open the smoked chicken with two fingers, took a small bite and said, "It's so delicious." Seeing Du Yan purse his lips in the rearview mirror, Zhao Xiaoyun said He showed a wicked smile. "Why is Zhang Wenliang so anxious to return to Taihua?" Du Yan suddenly asked. "Do you think I returned to the capital this time just to find you an appraisal firm?" Zhao Xiaoyun put down the food in his hand and climbed onto the back of Du Yan's seat. "Tell you, maybe there will be new changes in Taihua soon." "Hearing Zhao Xiaoyun's words, Du Yan did not speak. He looked at the road ahead silently, but he was wondering whether he was doing the right thing by encouraging the Song family to participate in this upcoming feast of plundering state-owned assets. Or did you do something wrong? Have you already made a huge mistake? If in this feast, the huge interest group represented by a certain government chief is a group of greedy wolves, then those huge forces headed by the Song family that have deeply penetrated into the country's economic lifeline, aren't they? Is there another more terrifying tiger? So what about you, what role should you play and what role can you play in this bloodless killing and plundering? that power! Everything is power. If you don¡¯t have power, can you stop this from happening? What can be changed? At this moment, Du Yan felt for the first time a deep desire for power from the depths of his heart! "Sit tight!" Du Yan said, he opened his hands, then gently grasped the steering wheel, shifted into gear, and stepped on the accelerator,??Jero rushed forward like a tiger out of the woods! Volume 4 "Volume 3: The Official Sail" Chapter 17 Chapter 17 The Powerful Widow Qiao The road from Pingling to Taihua is not far, but it is not a problem for the happy Pajero. As soon as it gets dark, Pajero has already driven on the ring road entering Taihua City. Speaking of this The ring road was Cui Jianbin¡¯s first big move after he became secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, but it was also the only one. It took four years from the establishment of the project to the opening of this road. During this period, Cui Jianbin gradually took control of the situation in Taihua. However, he was also recognized as being too conservative, or as many people secretly said, the harvest was more than enough. But because of his lack of courage, the Ring Road became a mark he left in Taihua, but it also became something that consumed the last bit of passion in his life. Du Yan was thinking about this while driving. He mostly heard various rumors about Cui Jianbin from others. Especially in his previous life, he sometimes heard a little bit about Cui Jianbin while chatting with Li Peizheng. The only impression this person had on Du Yan was that he wanted stability in everything. Du Yan couldn't grasp Cui Jianbin's attitude towards what happened in Pingling for a while. On the contrary, Mayor Ren Shuqiang's rather unexpected move was somewhat unexpected by Du Yan, but it was reasonable after thinking about it. Zhang Wenliang ascended to the position of third-in-command in Taihua. This was a small surprise for Taihua¡¯s originally dull but generally balanced political landscape. According to the official environment over the years, regardless of the Whether it is Cui Jianbin or Ren Shuqiang, it is impossible for them to have no backers at their level. Therefore, although Zhang Wenliang is the son-in-law of Sui Jianchao, the Minister of Machinery, if he wants to develop in Taihua, he can only do it step by step. If he In doing so, neither Cui Jianbin nor Ren Shuqiang would easily break official rules, but they offended him, a promising executive deputy mayor. However, Zhang Wenliang, who seemed to be relatively low-key before, suddenly suddenly surpassed several people in the previous rankings from executive deputy mayor to become Taihua's third-in-command. This had to attract the attention of Cui Jianbin, Ren Shuqiang and others. After all, maintaining the balance of Taihua's officialdom is not just a matter for the two of them, but also the result of a compromise reached by the forces behind them. ¡°In addition, there have been rumors from the outside world that Cui Jianbin has always been in poor health and will retire after serving this term at most. As long as there are no major accidents, the person who will replace Cui Jianbin will naturally be the second-in-command mayor Ren Shuqiang. Because of this, Zhang Wenliang¡¯s sudden rise has certainly attracted the attention of all parties. Thinking of this, Du Yan, who was driving the car, smiled lightly. In the domestic political arena, balance is all about balance. Whether it was Zhang Wenliang or the people behind him, what they did this time was a bit unruly. Just think about it carefully. He could generally understand the reason for this, and Du Yan could even think that maybe it was the result of him, a little butterfly flapping its wings that could have been completely ignored. As early as the beginning of the year, when the Southern Tour was still in full swing, Du Yan suddenly published an article titled "The young phoenix is ??more clear than the old phoenix" in the News Internal Reference under a pseudonym, which caused a great sensation. Read this article Although the sensation caused by the seemingly simple article was not obvious later, people who knew the inside story well knew that this article was probably the instruction of the old man. As for who Xiangzhuang's sword dance ambition was, he could only The feeling cannot be expressed in words. Now it seems that some people are a little anxious about this. Although Du Yan cannot completely guess the key, it is thought that the restructuring of a regional medium-sized heavy machinery factory has caused such a big movement. It even alerted a third-in-command of the municipal party committee to personally come forward to suppress it, which shows all the involvement behind it. Du Yan thought about this and suddenly felt an indescribable restlessness in his heart. He was indeed just an insignificant butterfly. In the eyes of some big shots, he might even be able to ignore it, but for him, this was just the right time. If you have an advantage over others regarding the direction of history in the past twenty years, you may not be unable to do something in the future. After thinking about this, Du Yan took a deep breath. The feeling of powerlessness that he had previously suppressed in his heart in the face of some behemoth disappeared for a while. He looked in the rearview mirror at the two beauties talking quietly behind him. , after smiling, he suddenly stepped on the accelerator again, and the Pajero immediately roared towards Taihua City, which was gradually shrouded in night. The office of Huachang Group in Taihua is located on Xiaoxie Street. The reason why it is called such a name is because when this street was originally built, the entire street and the houses on the street needed to be built according to the terrain. They are all tilted involuntarily, which is a very special anomaly in Taihua, an industrial city built with regular standards. Seeing the peculiar construction structure of the entire Xiaoxie Street, Du Yan couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. When he first heard that the Taihua office was actually located on Xiaoxie Street, his heart skipped a beat, so even though he had already I know, maybe?Due to some inexplicable psychology, Du Yan has never been here once. Now standing at the intersection of the street and looking at the neatly sloping houses on both sides of the street, Du Yan's heart felt uneasy. of waves. "The people from Yunpeng Finance haven't arrived yet," said Zhao Xiaoyun, who was driving in Du Yan's place. He quietly glanced at Song Jiawen, who was leaning on the car window behind her and looking out. She lowered her voice and said, "Qiu Haipeng is not here. The one who is here is One of his right-hand men." After saying that, Zhao Xiaoyun immediately looked ahead with a red face. Du Yan knew that Zhao Xiaoyun had misunderstood her because of her strange expression, but when she explained it like this, Du Yan felt less awkward. He looked at the lively crowd on Xiaoxie Street and at the same time couldn't help but think: What is Han Bing doing at this time? ? Was he still in school, or had he gone home and was playing with the flowers and plants in his yard, just like when he first saw her? But then Du Yan smiled a little self-deprecatingly, why he couldn't help but think about the Han Bing he was familiar with. The Han Bing now should be completely different, and how could he be playing around in the yard this season? Flowers and plants? Zhao Xiaoyun was driving while looking at Du Yan next to her. In fact, ever since Song Jiawen told the story about Qiu Haipeng, she felt vaguely uneasy. She was afraid that Du Yan would misunderstand because of Qiu Haipeng's appearance. As for whether Du Yan had this She didn't want to think about the qualifications of misunderstanding. The car finally stopped in front of a rather old but imposing Russian-style building. Looking at the eye-catching metal nameplate in front of the door, Du Yan just smiled. Such so-called companies and offices are here. They are everywhere in this era, but the strength and huge background behind a group like Huachang is definitely not comparable to that of those leather bag companies. In other words, Huachang, which is now as big as a giant, is only beginning to take shape compared with the later behemoths that have formed huge networks in information, real estate, and even other industries. It's just not fully formed yet. As Zhao Xiaoyun walked into the office, Du Yan saw a slightly familiar figure at a glance. Just as he was stunned for a moment with some doubts, the young woman opposite had already taken a few steps to greet Zhao Xiaoyun and said: "Manager Zhao, are you back? Mr. Qiao has been waiting for you for a while." "Mr. Qiao is here?" Du Yan and Zhao Xiaoyun asked in surprise, Qiao Luowei was still in Tongyang the night before, so why did he arrive in Taihua today? Du Yan was thinking this, but when he saw Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly turned his head and glared at him inexplicably. Where did I recruit this girl again? Why do you look like you're going to eat me? Du Yan muttered in his heart, but he soon forgot about it and greeted Xiao Zhu, whom he had already recognized. Du Yan did not expect to meet again with this girl whom he had only met once. "Manager Zhao, Director Du, Miss Song, please come with me." Xiao Zhu obviously still maintains the same quality as when he was at Qifengshan Hotel. Seeing her walking calmly in front, Du Yan just followed two steps. He actually felt Zhao Xiaoyun's vicious eyes next to him. "This girl took the wrong medicine?" Du Yan thought in his mind, but even though he thought so, he was a little slow. When he walked into a room, Qiao Luowei was drinking tea. He looked at the delicate tea cup sitting in a wicker chair. The light mist rising from the cup covered half of Qiao Luowei's delicate and delicate face. It was as light as a cloud mountain. Her slender eyebrows were slightly raised, and her eyelashes concealed a pair of beauties who, although they were always indifferent and cold, seemed to always be enveloped in a layer of melancholy. Du Yan felt slightly lost in thought for a while. "Sister-in-law!" Song Jiawen, who couldn't wait any longer, immediately ran up a few steps, then stretched out her hands and hugged Qiao Luowei's waist. "Jiawen." A smile appeared on Qiao Luowei's usually indifferent face. She gently put down the tea cup, held Song Jiawen in her arms and looked at her carefully, "Jiawen, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, you are really a big girl now. "You are getting more and more beautiful." "Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful. I was almost dumbfounded just now." Song Jiawen looked at Qiao Luowei carefully. "Sister-in-law, if those artists saw what you looked like just now, you must do it." You can't follow the painting, it's so beautiful, it can charm a lot of men. "What nonsense are you kidding? How can you let the old man listen to this?" Luo Wei said with a smile. "That's why I came to find you and Sister Xiaowan. It's too boring at home. By the way, where is Sister Xiaowan? Why didn't you see her?" Song Jiawen shouted again. "Xiao Wan has something to do, so you'll see her when you get to Tongyang," Qiao Luowei said with a smile, and then she looked at Du Yan, who had been watching the two beauties hugging each other and laughing, but her His eyes became much lighter. "Director Du, you had a hard time on the road." "It's not hard, you should." Du Yan responded casually, but his eyes glanced??I saw Zhao Xiaoyun walking to the side and frowning when he heard what he said. This girl must be the one who came, otherwise why would she look so angry no matter what I said? Du Yan felt that he had found the answer. Just after sitting down and chatting for a while, Xiao Zhu walked in and asked Manager Zhao and the guests whether they should take a rest or eat first. This made Song Jiawen, who had not eaten well on the road, immediately complain that she was hungry. . "That's right, let's eat first," Qiao Luowei nodded, and then said to Du Yan, "You can communicate with the financial staff brought by Xiaoyun about the situation. They should be able to provide you with some help." Qiao Luowei seemed to He was not in a hurry to discuss the heavy machinery factory with Du Yan. Du Yan calmed down after hearing from Zhao Xiaoyun that things might change. At this time, he had decided to wait and see what happened. This kind of thinking is exactly what Ren Shuqiang told Guo Songlin at the beginning: take a look before talking. It¡¯s just that at this time, Du Yan, whether he wants to put it down or not, is already at the center of the whirlpool. As for how many people this whirlpool will involve, it is still unclear for the moment. Before eating, Du Yan called the county and Daqing respectively. After all, his trip was a bit hasty, not to mention that in that situation, it was inevitable that someone would have some ideas. It's just that he just slapped Zhang Wenliang in the face in front of almost all the middle-level cadres in the county this morning, and then rushed to Taihua in the afternoon. He couldn't control what kind of suspicions and rumors this kind of thing would cause. Those Yunpeng Finance staff did not come back all the way with Zhao Xiaoyun, because they took the train that went to Tongyang first and had to reverse the train before arriving at Taihua, so they could not arrive until late at night. ??Xiao Zhu is very good at doing things. The place she arranged is not big. It is in a room next to the office. The table is of medium size. It seems more easy-going and less social. Song Jiawen was very honest when eating, adhering to the family motto of a large family saying nothing during sleep and eating. In fact, many early old revolutionaries came from well-off families, and some were from scholarly families, wealthy businessmen, and they only ate out of necessity. They have repeatedly exaggerated their proletarian origins and had to try their best to conceal their true family background, otherwise there would be no so-called red capitalists. The Song family is obviously a representative of this kind of red capitalist with a distinct political symbolism. It is precisely because of this that Mr. Song will wisely retire after his success, because he knows very well what is the key to holding the true lifeline of a country. . Qiao Luowei ate very little, mostly light dishes. This made Du Yan couldn't help but look at her slender waist. Speaking of which, every time he saw Qiao Luowei, she mostly wore a coat. Today, because she was in In the room, she dressed more casually. Looking at Qiao Luowei's waist exposed under the pale white shirt in her skirt, Du Yan couldn't help but wonder if she weighed a hundred pounds. Qiao Luowei seemed to feel Du Yan's eyes, so she stopped and looked up at Du Yan generously. This surprised Du Yan, especially when he noticed Zhao Xiaoyun's glare, Du Yan could only lower his head. Eat rice from a bowl. "Director Du, I have discussed some of your ideas about Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory with some people," Qiao Luowei put down her chopsticks and said calmly. Du Yan noticed that she now called herself Director Du instead of calling herself as she did on the phone. Calling them by their first names made Du Yan feel that the two people seemed to have gradually recovered and become estranged again. "I think someone is very interested in the restructuring process and related procedures of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory. Can you write a detailed report?" Is there a report? "You want to use me as a gunman again? Du Yan murmured in his heart that he knew that this seemingly insignificant matter of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory was involved in the exploration of how certain interest groups would get a share of the entire restructuring wave in the future. Therefore, it naturally attracted a lot of attention. Coupled with the fact that he intentionally or unintentionally involved the Song family and the deeper interest groups related to the Song family, this drama of competing for interests is bound to be more exciting in the future. . ¡°Perhaps, only in this way can the competition between various forces form a pattern that, although not beautiful, can at least restrict each other. But although this is what he hopes to see, Du Yan is not willing to be someone else's gunman so willingly. "Writing a report is very easy, but even if there is a complete system, it will not work if there is no one to implement it." Du Yan also put down his chopsticks and said. He saw Qiao Luowei tilting his head slightly in thought. Tilting his head, the coldness faded away in a flash, but he revealed a childish look. Du Yan couldn't help but be startled, but he immediately continued, "I think what is needed now is to establish a special restructuring department to meet the needs." Restructured enterprises undergo open restructuring with government supervision and market participation, rather than simply being completely left to the higher-level ministries.Strict regulations or even forced restructuring in the form of administrative directives are most likely to cause problems. " "Du Yan! "Qiao Luowei suddenly interrupted Du Yan's words, and then she said softly, "Just talk about your idea here, don't tell others casually. "Speaking of this, her eyes stayed on Du Yan's face for a while, and then slowly moved away, but the melancholy in her eyes seemed to be stronger. " Du Yan smiled silently, of course he knew Qiao Luowei What this meant was that this was originally a sensitive topic. Even if Qiao Luowei didn't warn him, he wouldn't be stupid enough to shout about it all over the world. That would be pure political suicide. But Qiao Luowei's warning made his heart heat up slightly. Remembering that he had discussed his emotional dispute with Su Qian and Zhao Xiaoyun on the phone with Qiao Luowei before, he felt that there was an indescribable tacit understanding between him and Qiao Luowei. "Du Yan, you want to engage in the capital market. change? "Song Jiawen, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke. She looked at Du Yan strangely, then turned to look at Qiao Luowei, and then said, "I heard my father mention something like you once when he was talking to Professor Feng. Although I don¡¯t quite understand the explanation, I think the meaning is similar. "Speaking of this, she whispered to Qiao Luowei, "Dad's face looked very ugly at that time. " "Jiawen, how many days will you stay here this time? " Qiao Luowei asked, her indifferent look made Song Jiawen swallow back what she was about to say. "I'm asking for leave. I'll go back and find someone to make up for my lessons at most," Song Jiawen smiled and said to Qiao Luowei. Come on, it's strange to say that she is always very attached to this indifferent sister-in-law. "Let me stay a few more days, good sister-in-law." "Then stay a few more days, come back to Tongyang with me tomorrow, and visit your sister Xiaowan by the way," Qiao Luowei said, raising his hand to look at his watch, and then very elegantly picked up the handkerchief on the table to wipe it. The corner of his mouth said, "I've finished eating, you can do whatever you want. As she said this, she glanced at Du Yan, "Director Du, I will go back to Tongyang tomorrow morning. If you have anything else to do, you can tell me after dinner. I'll excuse you for a moment." " After saying that, she nodded slightly and walked out the door. "Sister-in-law, I've finished eating too, and I'll go with you. "Song Jiawen shouted and immediately followed. " Du Yan and Zhao Xiaoyun were the only ones left at the dinner table. This made the two of them feel a little weird, especially Zhao Xiaoyun's face was strange. When Du Yan looked at her When she came over, she immediately glared and warned in a low voice: "I'm telling you, don't mess around, or I will fall out with you. " "How did you know that I was going to mess around? The girl's family just wants to shame others all day long? " Du Yan smiled evilly. Seeing that Zhao Xiaoyun choked him to admit or deny, and his face turned red from suppressing it, he immediately coaxed him again, "Okay, okay, I'll behave myself. I'm going to see Mr. Qiao later, and I don't dare to mess around. " Zhao Xiaoyun, who had initially calmed down a little after hearing his words, changed her expression again after hearing this. She looked at Du Yan with strange eyes. For a moment, that look made Du Yan feel as if she was wronged. "If you want to see Mr. Qiao, hurry up, it's not early, it's too late. Zhao Xiaoyun stood up after saying something, "I'll go ask Mr. Qiao to see if it's convenient for her now." " Seeing Qiao Luowei again, Du Yan found that she was wearing a long woolen shawl. Speaking of which, this kind of dress was still very trendy in this era, and he looked at Qiao Luowei sitting quietly in the wicker chair with the shawl around her body. Qiao Luowei, Du Yan felt as if he had seen the quiet and elegant young ladies in the deep mansions described in the book. But Du Yan knew that the young and beautiful woman in front of him was definitely not comparable to those young ladies who only enjoyed life. Standing behind is an unimaginable behemoth. ¡°Du Yan, do you have any detailed thoughts on the department you mentioned for the purpose of capital reform? "Qiao Luowei asked Du Yan. "Capital reform is only one of the more important functions. I think this department can be used as an overall organization to deepen reforms and as a staff department to provide policies and development plans. Reforms are not piecemeal. If there cannot be an agency to formulate and guide unified planning, it is likely to become a trend that no one can control. ¡± ¡°An agency that formulates and understands unified planning? " Qiao Luowei repeated, her eyes watched Du Yan carefully, and after a while she suddenly sighed softly, "It seems I was wrong, your suggestions are useless to me. " "If I can't tell Mr. Qiao, then who am I going to tell him? " Du Yan wanted to make a joke, but then he realized that what he said was a bit frivolous. But Qiao Luowei didn't seem to care. She tilted her head and thought with the kind of expression that made Du Yan stunned. He thought for a moment, and then said calmly: "Maybe you should talk to Jiayi, or my father. " "Director Song? "Du Yan looked at Qiao Luowei and found that the person who said thisAt this moment, Qiao Luowei's eyes were looking out the window, as if she was thinking about something that no one could touch at this moment. "Jiayi doesn't like to be restrained," Qiao Luowei's voice sounded quiet. "This is different from Jia Lai. Jia Lai is born with a drive to strive upward, which is very popular with his father." Du Yan silently said Listen, this was the first time he heard the Song family speak about the Song family. What he didn't expect was that it was Qiao Luowei who said this. "Jiayi was very confused for a while. He had been fooling around at home, leading a group of his friends to fight and cause trouble everywhere, just like a child who was not yet sensible." Qiao Luowei put the shawl around his shoulders and said calmly, " Several times, if it weren't for the fact that he was from the Song family, he would have been put in jail. " "Jiayi is a heroic person," Du Yan said, "Maybe that's his character." "Is it his character? Looking at Du Yan, he asked, and then shook his head noncommittally, "He is really different from Jia Lai. It's a pity that you haven't seen Jia Lai. Speaking of you two" At this point, Qiao Luowei stopped and said Shaking her head, she stood up and walked to the table, picked up the phone and started dialing. Looking at the profile of Qiao Luowei holding the receiver, Du Yan's heart skipped a beat. He had never looked at Qiao Luowei so carefully before, looking at her thin nose, long eyelashes, and sharp outlines. Du Yan couldn't help but feel envious that the Song family could have such a beautiful woman. At the same time, he felt pity for Qiao Luowei who was so young but already living alone. However, while Du Yan was sighing at Qiao Luowei's beauty, he also found it a little funny that Qiao Luowei's jaw had been moving slightly, but it seemed that he was deliberately holding back something. Just when he was guessing how long Qiao Luowei could endure it At this time, Qiao Luowei finally raised his hand to cover his mouth and yawned. Seemingly realizing that Du Yan was smiling, Qiao Luowei turned her head and glanced at Du Yan with a slightly angry look, which allowed Du Yan to see her rare and unique demeanor again. The phone was connected and Qiao Luowei started to speak, and her first words made Du Yan's heart skip a beat: "Dad, I'm Luo Wei. There are still some situations about the Hexi Machinery Factory I mentioned a few days ago. I want to report to you." The other party's voice came faintly from the phone receiver. Qiao Luowei responded a few times and said, "Xiaoyun has found an accounting firm to re-evaluate that machinery factory. Can you tell me?" Qiao Luowei continued to say a few words, and a hint of surprise appeared on Qiao Luowei's face. She turned to look at Du Yan and continued to listen until she nodded: "I understand, Dad, I will handle this matter properly." , I will try my best to pay attention to relevant issues before that, don't worry." Putting down the phone, Qiao Luowei looked back at Du Yan and was silent for a while before saying, "It's certain that someone will come down to investigate Pingling Machinery soon. Don't worry about the factory's affairs during this period. Maybe there will be some changes soon." Hearing Qiao Luowei's words, Du Yan nodded. Zhao Xiaoyun also said before that there would be changes, but the weight and Qiao Luowei's were different. That's completely different! Change, where is the change? Pingling? Too Hua? Or the entire Hexi Province? When he thought that it would be less than a month before the governor of Hexi Province, Gao Ke, came to Taihua for an inspection, and at this time, people were coming down to investigate the matter about Pingling Machinery Factory, Du Yan felt that things might have begun to completely break out. Without understanding the significance of this incident, perhaps a collision that no one expected is about to happen in Hexi! "I will go back to Tongyang tomorrow," Qiao Luowei continued, "You don't need to meet with those people from the accounting firm. After you go back, you just need to do a good job in the construction of your new district." Having said that, Qiao Luowei She raised her hand to cover her mouth, but she couldn't help but yawn. Then her face turned slightly red and said, "I'm a little tired. I'm going to rest first." After that, she hurriedly walked out the door. Looking at Qiao Luowei's back, Du Yan suddenly thought that he had just told Qiao Luowei last night that Zhang Wenliang was coming, but Qiao Luowei had appeared in Taihua in the morning, and after meeting him, he would return the next day. Tongyang. This shows that she came here entirely for her own business. She traveled hundreds of kilometers and looked at Qiao Luowei's slightly tired back. Du Yan couldn't help but blurt out: "Thank you, Luo Wei." Qiao Luowei stopped for a moment. As she stepped forward, she looked back at Du Yan in surprise, as if she was a little surprised that he called her name. Then her eyes became cold and indifferent, but there was a hint of emotion in her tone: "Du Yan, think about it first." Think about your own business, what will you, your girlfriend and Xiaoyun do in the future?" After saying that, she shook her head and walked out of the room. Qiao Luowei's words made Du Yan, who had just felt a little strange in his heart, almost stumble. Looking at Qiao Luowei's back, who was not picking up which pot, Du Yan opened his mouth, but then sighed helplessly. Yes, how will you live in the future? Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 18 Chapter 18 The Taihua Wind Rises Zhang Wenliang sat in a chair, silently lost in thought. The cigarette in his hand had burned out for a long time, but he never moved. Seeing him like this, the secretary who just walked in became more cautious. He walked to the table quickly and whispered to Zhang Wenliang: "Secretary Zhang, Secretary Cui just called and asked you to come over. " Zhang Wenliang's hand moved slightly, and the already long ash fell to the ground. Cui Jianbin has a habit of never taking the initiative to call others. Whenever he has something to contact someone, he always asks his secretary to notify the person or the people around him. This habit does not even bother Ren Shuqiang, who is the mayor. exception. However, we have to admit that this is Cui Jianbin's way of controlling the entire situation in Taihua. Just this small trick makes his status appear aloof, making Ren Shuqiang, who is always strong even as the mayor, I can't help but feel that I am a head shorter than him. Zhang Wenliang actually doesn't like Cui Jianbin's small work. In his opinion, Cui Jianbin is just a symbol occupying the position of Municipal Party Committee Secretary. Maybe within next year, he will have to give up the chair he has occupied for six years to others. , but who will sit on it seems a little uncertain now. Zhang Wenliang was thinking in his heart, but he didn't dare to neglect it. He knew that Cui Jianbin had always seemed so taciturn, especially after having an operation last year, and he became even more inattentive. But after all, he was a The secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, who has been operating in Taihua for six years, has a lot of close friends and old officials, so he should not rub Cui Jianbin's whiskers easily. ??Especially at this time. Zhang Wenliang never expected that his trip to Pingling would end in an anticlimactic way that caused many people to talk about it. Zhang Wenliang hurried back to Taihua after receiving a sudden call from the Municipal Party Committee. He was not even in the mood to look at Chu Yilan who was sitting next to him along the way. You must know that when he came, he had feasted his eyes all the way. , if it weren't for Chu Yilan's somewhat unusual background and family background, maybe this trip to Pingling would have allowed him to fulfill his long-cherished wish to have a kiss. The phone call was from Cui Jianbin¡¯s secretary. Although he didn¡¯t say much, he clearly told Zhang Wenliang in Cui Jianbin¡¯s name and told him to put aside the matter of the heavy machinery factory and go back to the city first. These words kept Zhang Wenliang thinking about it all the way, but after returning to Taihua, he was informed that Cui Jianbin was meeting with a visiting group from Europe. This made Zhang Wenliang wonder again. He knew that Cui Jianbin had not participated in such activities for a long time due to physical problems, and such visiting groups should be more of a government affair, so in Zhang Wenliang's view, Cui Jianbin Rather than saying that he thought he couldn't get away from work, it was better to say that he was given a cold shoulder. This made Zhang Wenliang not only surprised, but also confused. He didn¡¯t know why Cui Jianbin, who had always been silent and low-key, suddenly showed such a strong side. After wondering for a while, he returned to his office and made a few calls. Gradually, he understood what happened. On the morning when he went to Pingling, the General Office of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee suddenly called Cui Jianbin. The caller was Jiang Weizhu, director of the General Office of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee. Although no one knew what Jiang Weizhu said to Cui Jianbin, Cui Jianbin then Someone called Zhang Wenliang and asked him to return to the city after completing his inspection in Pingling. But even though he had the answer, Zhang Wenliang didn't understand what happened. Now that he heard that Cui Jianbin finally "had time", he naturally had to brace himself to face this seemingly insignificant person, but as long as he took a moment Just one action can make people feel the pressure. After coming out of the office, Zhang Wenliang saw Chu Yilan from a distance in the corridor who had just come out of the office of Liu Zhi, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, and he took a greedy look. Zhang Wenliang was a little ambitious towards Chu Yilan. Compared with the woman he was secretly raising, Chu Yilan had a completely different temperament. It was not only the maturity unique to a typical career-oriented woman, but also a certain kind of temperament. The quietness of everyone's ladies, if Zhang Wenliang didn't know some details about Chu Yilan's background, Zhang Wenliang would have thought of a way to take action. But despite this, whenever he has the opportunity, he will find a way to get close to this young and beautiful deputy secretary-general. Firstly, he is indeed attracted by her beauty. Secondly, he also hopes to have the opportunity to win over her. If he can be in the municipal party committee compound, It's always good to have an undersecretary who is one of your own. Chu Yilan said hello in a low voice when she came over. She didn't know Zhang Wenliang very well. As deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, her job was mainly responsible for external contact and reception. This was also an official practice. It seemed that being a vase meant that she was young and beautiful. It is the most suitable job for women, so she is also the director of the reception office of the municipal party committee, but her usual work is done by?The director just does it. However, Chu Yilan has been a little busy recently. The news that Governor Gao Ke is about to visit Taihua has made many people feel stressed. Although there is still a month left, Liu Zhi, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, has personally intervened more than once. The details of the reception work made Chu Yilan feel even more stressed and burdened. In fact, not only Liu Zhi but also Chu Yilan, the whole of Taihua is feeling a lot of pressure about Gao Ke's upcoming arrival. It is precisely because of this that we heard that workers at Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory were resisting the factory capital reform, and even After someone clamored to sue the city or even the province, Zhang Wenliang was able to take advantage of the opportunity. We are going to force Pingling to deal with this incident in the name of the municipal party committee. It was just a phone call from Cui Jianbin that made the decision to deal with Zhang Wenliang¡¯s decision in the name of the municipal party committee, which had originally acquiesced to Zhang Wenliang, become anticlimactic. This made Zhang Wenliang have to worry about whether something went wrong. Cui Jianbin¡¯s office is on the side of the municipal party committee building. It is relatively quiet and sunny, which is very suitable for Cui Jianbin, who has just had surgery, to recuperate after work. Since he had a serious illness and had surgery more than a year ago, Cui Jianbin has not been involved in the city's affairs for some time. For this city with a population of less than 130, Cui Jianbin, the municipal party committee secretary, has even been forgotten by many people. , even in the municipal party committee compound, people rarely see Cui Jianbin. Even in the minds of some people, Cui Jianbin has faded out of Taihua's political center. Only when he walked into his office and looked at the figure who was slowly playing with the flowers and plants in front of the window with his back to him, Zhang Wenliang suddenly thought that maybe Cui Jianbin had never really left the core of power in Taihua, but because of his physical condition The reason may be that he has been dormant because of his scheming, but once he makes a move, it may not be as simple as making a move. Cui Jianbin's secretary Xiao Deng made tea for Zhang Wenliang and then quietly left. Speaking of which, Cui Jianbin also found Xiao Deng from the municipal party committee office. His previous secretary had been assigned to the next county to become a deputy county official. Long, this is also a sign that people think Cui Jianbin thinks that his time in Taihua is numbered and he wants to find a way out for the people around him. "Secretary Cui, do you have something to do with me?" Zhang Wenliang asked, sitting on the sofa with a smile. Zhang Wenliang always kept a distance from Cui Jianbin without neglecting him. After all, in his opinion, Cui Jianbin was in Taihua. Time won't be very long. As long as this medicine jar is gone, with Ren Shuqiang taking over as Municipal Party Committee Secretary, of course the tide has risen, so he will take over the throne of Mayor Ren Shuqiang. But now it seems that Cui Jianbin needs to have a little more time before leaving. Activity. "Secretary Zhang, how do you feel about going down this time?" Cui Jianbin sat in the chair and looked at Zhang Wenliang sitting on the sofa. This was also a method of controlling his subordinates. Except for Ren Shuqiang, he rarely let people sit at his desk. The chair opposite, and always addressing others by title, not by name. "Secretary Cui, there are many problems. The problems are big." Zhang Wenliang deliberately emphasized his tone. At the same time, he observed Cui Jianbin's expression. What disappointed him was that Cui Jianbin seemed unmoved. He just picked up the glasses cloth on the table and shook his head. Wipe the glasses in your hands carefully. "Secretary Cui now sees that some people are deliberately inciting workers to boycott the resolutions of the municipal party committee and city government. I think the nature of this incident is very serious, especially the ideological problems of some people in the Pingling County Committee. "The key to the incident," Zhang Wenliang said carefully. He couldn't feel Cui Jianbin's position on this matter. Thinking about it carefully, he even found that it seemed that Cui Jianbin had never made a mistake in this matter from beginning to end. Real statement: "Secretary Cui, the current economic situation in Taihua is severe. Being old and broken is a typical situation of old enterprises in Taihua. If we cannot find a way out of this situation, there will be no possibility of continued development. , So I think those who obstruct the reform should be beaten. " "Yes, it is difficult to rebuild the old country." Cui Jianbin said, he put down his glasses and looked up at Zhang Wenliang, "Secretary Zhang, Mrs. Let¡¯s put aside the matters on China¡¯s side first. There needs to be a new way to restructure the Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory. If the workers don¡¯t understand, then we need to make them understand. We can¡¯t take too drastic measures. As for the Pinling County Committee here, I think the attitude on this matter is responsible. After all, the municipal committee¡¯s resolutions must be implemented. Let¡¯s discuss this issue at the expanded meeting of the Standing Committee, and let people from the Municipal Industry Bureau also participate to take a look at this issue. How to deal with it." "What about the restructuring of the Heavy Machinery Factory?" Zhang Wenliang was a little anxious. He didn't expect Cui Jianbin to have such a muddy solution and discuss the Pingling County Committee's attitude on this matter? This is not what he really wants to see. Although he hates Du Yan deeply, apart from the little things about his son, if Du Yan doesn't hinder the restructuring of the heavy machine factory, he is lazy.Go deal with that young boy. But now it seems that even if the Pingling County Committee, or Du Yan himself, is dealt with to a certain extent in order to maintain the authority of the municipal committee's resolution, the most important restructuring has invisibly come to a halt. This is what Zhang Wenliang absolutely does not want to see! "Secretary Zhang, Governor Gao Ke is going to Taihua for inspection next month." Cui Jianbin picked up his glasses again and began to wipe them gently, but his slightly cloudy eyes fell on Zhang Wenliang's face. "What we strive for in this matter is stability. We cannot cause bad results because of the Pingling problem, let alone problems when Governor Gao Ke is about to arrive. This needs to be raised to a higher level. It¡¯s not just an issue of Taihua¡¯s image in the minds of the leaders, but also an issue of whether the leaders can think that our Taihua Municipal Party Committee is combative in the reform.¡± Zhang Wenliang fell silent. He knew that Cui Jianbin was obviously striving for stability. For Cui Jianbin, it is very critical that Taihua can make a smooth transition in the next year or so. After all, if it goes well, maybe he can go to the province for a short transition before completely retreating. Finally, Resigning with a deputy ministerial level treatment would not only look good, but also secure a good treatment for yourself in the future. But in this way, Cui Jianbin is obviously the person who least wants to see the situation in Taihua become turbulent, and the Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory is the most taboo for him. Zhang Wenliang's mouth was a little dry, so he picked up the cup on the table in front of him and drank some tea. Just when he was about to put down the cup, Cui Jianbin, who was sitting behind his desk, suddenly said in a casual tone: "In addition, the Provincial Party Committee General Office Director Jiang called me. The province may send people down in the next few days to investigate the restructuring of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory. " Zhang Wenliang's hand holding the cup paused in the air, and he looked up. Looking at Cui Jianbin, what he saw was that Cui Jianbin had been wiping the glasses in his hands that were actually very clean. But when Cui Jianbin finally stopped and put on his glasses, his slightly cloudy eyes were obscured by the slight reflection of the spectacle lenses. At this time, Zhang Wenliang gradually realized that the real purpose of Cui Jianbin's asking him to come here was just to tell him this. This made Zhang Wenliang surprised and couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. He remembered that although he called to inquire about the news before, Although he heard that someone in the province seemed to have raised some questions about the restructuring of Taihua, he never expected that Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory would be directly mentioned in the phone call from Jiang Weizhu, director of the Provincial Party Committee General Office, to Cui Jianbin. Although the scale of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory is not small, from the perspective of the province, it should be nothing. However, it was precisely because it was mentioned as nothing that Zhang Wenliang felt the seriousness of the matter. Looking at Cui Jianbin's face that never showed any emotion, Zhang Wenliang suddenly felt that the secretary of the municipal party committee in front of him, who had just recovered from a serious illness and seemed to have nothing to do all day, was actually deeply terrifying. When he thought about it, he had proposed to deal with Pingling. Ren Shuqiang expressed his acquiescence, but seemed not to be very active. Zhang Wenliang suddenly felt that he had been tricked. When did Cui Jianbin and Ren Shuqiang wear the same pair of pants? After coming out from Cui Jianbin, Zhang Wenliang has been thinking about this issue. Zhang Wenliang has already learned about Ren Shuqiang's strong character. If it weren't for knowing that he would take over Shuqiang's position as mayor in the future, he would sometimes really He wanted to directly confront Ren Shuqiang. After all, as the third-in-command deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, he not only had to make his voice heard, but also made the people of Taihua aware of his existence. It¡¯s just that Ren Shuqiang has a long history in Taihua and has deep roots. In addition, Cui Jianbin¡¯s physical condition also gave Ren Shuqiang the opportunity to cultivate close followers. After all, Zhang Wenliang¡¯s roots are still shallow, and more importantly, Zhang Wenliang knows that his father-in-law People who placed him in Taihua, a heavy industrial base city, were not interested in the gains and losses of one city or one place. Therefore, if Ren Shuqiang did not go too far, he would not fall into a war of attrition with Ren Shuqiang. It¡¯s just that the current situation is too weird. Cui Jianbin and Ren Shuqiang, two people who are usually at odds with each other, actually showed surprising agreement on the restructuring of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory. And I, who was originally incompatible with this matter, People who had a huge stake in the matter seemed to be kept in the dark, allowing the two of them to make small moves behind their backs. Zhang Wenliang felt uncomfortable thinking about it in his mind. Just when he was thinking of calling the Sui family in the capital to inquire about the news, as soon as he returned to the office, his secretary hurriedly greeted him. "Secretary Zhang, I have called you twice from the capital." "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhang Wenliang was so angry that he scolded him without thinking, but then he realized that he had been calling Cui Jianbin all the time. office, the secretary would not inform him even if he wanted topossible. Zhang Wenliang waved his hand impatiently and walked into the inner office. As soon as he picked up the phone and dialed the number, someone was already connected. "Wenliang, I'm Sui Guangyuan." The person on the other end of the phone said. Hearing the voice of his brother-in-law, Zhang Wenliang couldn't help but sit up slightly. Sui Guangyuan is the only son of the Minister of Machinery, Sui Jianchao, although he is a few years younger than Zhang Wenliang. , but won the new appointment of Sui Jianchao, not only because Sui Guangyuan was his son, but also because Sui Guangyuan was indeed a man of talent. After all, he was already serving as deputy director of a large state-owned enterprise at the ministerial level when he was just in his early forties. In general, no matter how good a background you have, if you don't have strong abilities, you won't be able to do it. And Zhang Wenliang is also secretly afraid of his brother-in-law, sometimes even more afraid than his father-in-law, because he knows that if something goes wrong with him, his father-in-law may still spare him for the sake of his daughter, and this The ruthless brother-in-law would never let him go easily. "Guangyuan, what's the matter with your call?" Zhang Wenliang asked carefully. "Wenliang, did something go wrong in the restructuring of a heavy machinery factory over there?" Sui Guangyuan asked straight to the point. When he heard Zhang Wenliang's breathing on the phone seemed to be stagnant, he didn't care and just continued, "Someone in the capital has This matter has been brought up, and maybe someone from your side will go down to investigate soon. Although this matter is not big, and it is only your own internal investigation in Hexi, as far as I know there are some people involved. Someone may take advantage of this incident to make some moves. Will there be any problems on your side, Wenliang? " "No, everything on my side is done in accordance with organizational procedures and the decisions of the municipal party committee and government," Zhang Wenliang affirmed. He said that he was still sure of this. "It's just that I don't understand. This is just a trivial matter. Why would anyone want to cause trouble? What benefits can be gained from such a trivial matter even if it turns the world upside down?" "Wen Liang, don't be trivial. Look at this matter." Sui Guangyuan on the other side of the phone showed a hint of dissatisfaction with Zhang Wenliang's disapproval. "Maybe you think it is a trivial matter, but even such trivial matters can often lead to big mistakes. As far as I know, this matter is from the Song family. It was originally a small thing but it was strange that some old guys immediately started to make trouble. They said they had noses and eyes. You should know the energy of those people and don¡¯t take it lightly. " I heard that it was someone from the Song family who was responsible. Zhang Wenliang couldn't help but let out an unexpected "Eh" sound, which attracted Sui Guangyuan's attention. After questioning, when he heard that Song Jiawen appeared in Pingling, Sui Guangyuan couldn't help but remain slightly silent. "Guangyuan, why is there a problem?" Zhang Wenliang asked. He had to know how something would develop in the future. What he didn't expect was that a small heavy machinery factory that was just testing the waters was inexplicably A lot of attention came out from people I never expected. Zhang Wenliang's forehead started to sweat when Sui Guangyuan mentioned those old guys. Of course he knew who the so-called old guys were and what kind of huge influence these people had on the domestic political map. Now that the restructuring of the Heavy Machinery Factory has actually attracted the attention of these people, and with the incomprehensible Song family disrupting the situation, Zhang Wenliang felt that things might get worse. "I heard that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Song family, Qiao Luowei, is in Hexi," Sui Guangyuan finally said, "I heard Xiaobo say that he and Zhang Tao met Qiao Luowei in Tongyang years ago, but I didn't know much about it at that time. Note that Xiaobo had some conflicts with Qiao Luowei because of Zhang Tao's affairs, so I just thought that they had some disputes accidentally. Now it seems that things are not simple, and the Song family may be interested in them. Mainland, otherwise they wouldn¡¯t let Qiao Luowei go to Hexi. You know, Qiao Luowei is" Sui Guangyuan stopped at this point. He felt that there was no need to tell Zhang Wenliang some irrelevant words, and he said In his mind, he always didn't think highly of his brother-in-law. "There is a dispute between Xiaotao and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Song family? Why haven't I heard Xiaotao say it?" Zhang Wenliang has a big head. He doesn't know much about the Song family, but he also knows that they are definitely a huge behemoth. As for the concept of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Song family, just think about how Lian Sui Guangyuan realized the seriousness of the matter as soon as he heard the name. This made Zhang Wenliang feel uneasy. He knew very well what his son was like. While he was getting headaches as things got more and more involved, he also secretly hated his son for not even telling him such a big thing and asking Sui Guangyuan for this. Uncle reminded himself. "I heard from Xiaobo that Qiao Luowei was brought in because Zhang Tao was jealous of others. That person seemed to have a close relationship with Qiao Luowei, and Liang Benchu, the secretary of the Hexi Organization Department at the time, was also prominent." Sui Guangyuan said lightly, but His words sounded like thunder one after another in Zhang Wenliang's ears: "By the way, the person who had the conflict with Zhang Tao was also you"The cadres in Huahua seem to be named Du. " "Du Yan? ! "Zhang Wenliang asked anxiously. "It seems to be called by this name," Sui Guangyuan said nonchalantly and then changed the topic, "Wenliang, please pay attention. The person you are investigating in Taihua this time is probably related to The old man is not quite right. Be careful and don't make any mistakes. " "Du Yan," Zhang Wenliang put down the phone and muttered this name that made him feel extremely awkward. After a while, he let out a long breath, "Then let me see what kind of tricks you are playing. " Volume 4 "Volume 3: Official Sailing" Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Destiny in the Past Life In March, at this time, the south should be full of vitality even though it is warm and cool at first, while the north is still mostly cold in spring and the wind is biting. Even if it is not as snowy as the three northeastern provinces, March in Hexi Province is still very cold. . Du Yan walked slowly on the stone road of the small side street, stepping on the angular and smooth road that had been washed away by years of wind and rain. As he walked, Du Yan looked at the houses built on the side of the road facing the street. Xiaoxie Street is one of the oldest streets in Taihua. It is said that in the early years, when several major heavy industrial enterprises moved to the mainland in accordance with the highest instructions at the time, Taihua was selected because its geographical location met the needs of war preparations, and also because it met the needs of war preparations. Because Taihua is one of the few mainland cities that has a certain industrial foundation. Although the scale is not large, Taihua had begun to take shape as an industrial city much earlier. Xiaoxiejie was where the senior staff of a steel mill in Taihua lived. Although the house was later repossessed by the state , was redistributed, but many of the buildings here retained the style of the early days. Even when the small Xiejie was expanded later, not much was changed. Originally, he heard that Qiao Luowei was going back to Tongyang, and Du Yan wanted to see her off, but what disappointed him was that Qiao Luowei left early. She came and left in a hurry, except for Song Jiawen. She also took Zhao Xiaoyun away, and it seemed that overnight she had returned to the cold and indifferent look she had when they first met. When she broke up with Du Yan, she also looked cold and did not show too much emotion. Because of her attitude, Song Jiawen and Zhao Xiaoyun could not say too much to Du Yan. Especially Zhao Xiaoyun, except for looking at Du Yan a few times when others were not paying attention when leaving, she did not even talk to him. Saying one more word made Du Yan, who originally felt that there was a lot of excitement around him, suddenly feel a bit empty and unaccustomed to it. According to Qiao Luowei's instructions, Du Yan did not meet with those people from the accounting firm from the capital. He knew that the matter was no longer as simple as finding another accounting firm for review and review. Since the Pingling matter had already Being targeted by interested people, even if it is just a small heavy machinery factory, some people will be able to squeeze a few taels of oil out of it. Speaking of which, domestic politics is like this. Often the simplest things always have the most complicated reasons hidden behind them. In other words, even if they are originally simple, they can become complicated as long as political interests are involved. Du Yan originally planned to return to Pingling after Qiao Luowei and the others left, but a phone call from Pingling to the office left him in Taihua. The call was from Tu Xiangdong. On the phone, Tu Xiangdong told Du Yan that Li Peizheng would arrive in Tianhua at noon and asked Du Yan to meet Li Peizheng at the municipal party committee. After finishing speaking, Tu Xiangdong then said in a very casual tone: "Deputy Secretary Zhang left Pingling before finishing his meal at noon yesterday. Last night, Secretary Li received a call from Secretary-General Liu Zhi of the Municipal Party Committee conveying Secretary Cui of the Municipal Party Committee. It seems that You were mentioned on the phone, Xiao Du, please make preparations." Du Yan nodded silently. He knew that Tu Xiangdong told him this, although it was a reminder to himself, but it could also be regarded as a "letter of declaration" to express his position. Maybe Tu Xiangdong is very scheming, or simply saying that his purpose of leaning on him is not simple, but now Du Yan needs such an ally in Pingling's Standing Committee. Maybe Tu Xiangdong took the initiative to express friendship because he saw his situation clearly. After all, providing help in times of trouble at this time is more useful than adding icing on the cake one day in the future. However, Tu Xiangdong would be too risky. If Du Yan really falls, , then the impact on Tu Xiangdong must be great. Because of this, Du Yan couldn't figure out for a while why Tu Xiangdong chose to lean on him so definitely. After all, even without this conflict with Zhang Wenliang, Du Yan was only an upstart in Pingling, and he was far from the top. Compared with Pingling bosses like Li Peizheng or Guo Songlin. Du Yan thought about this but didn't stop. It was still early, and it was estimated that it would be some time before Li Peizheng arrived in Taihua, so Du Yan left the office. He didn't know what his thoughts were, but he walked along the A street leads to an alley. Du Yan walked forward along the alley, looking at the familiar houses and courtyards he passed by but as if he had only seen them in his dreams. His heart became more and more excited. When he saw two half-chest-high iron bars in the distance, At this time, Du Yan stopped. Du Yan just stood in the alley and looked at the looming house in the yard inside the two small doors. He imagined what the people in the house were doing at this time, and also imagined that this time was completely different from what he remembered. What are you doing again? After a while, Du Yan shook his head slightly. He didn't know why he came here. Speaking of which, he had never walked into this courtyard in his previous life. As for the person in the courtyard, even if he met now, what would he do? ?How? Du Yan was a little uninterested for a moment. Just as he turned around to leave, a slight "squeak" made him stop. Although he knew it couldn't be such a coincidence, Du Yan still felt his heart beating wildly when he turned around. When he saw a middle-aged man in his thirties pushing a bicycle out of the yard, Du Yan couldn't help but breathe. A lag. This is a decent-looking man with a rather delicate appearance. His high nose bridge and full forehead make him look very energetic. His pair of black-rimmed glasses and very clean uniform, although slightly old-fashioned, are not old-fashioned. You can tell that this man is When he was young, he must have been a handsome guy who was very popular with women. Seeing Du Yan standing not far away looking over, the man was slightly startled, then continued to push the cart forward. When he came to Du Yan, he stopped and looked at Du Yan, and then asked with a smile: "Who are you looking for?" Du Yan looked at Han Qiushi and felt an indescribable excitement in his heart. Although he had never actually met Han Qiushi, he knew the situation of the person in front of him very well, because he was Han Bing 's father. "Excuse me, does Mr. Han Guanzhong live here?" Du Yan asked with great emotion in his heart. He finally spoke to Han Qiushi, even though it was after two lifetimes. "Are you looking for my father?" The middle-aged man looked Du Yan up and down and smiled, "Young man, don't you come here because of my father's name?" "Yes, I have admired Mr. Han for a long time, so I came here specially. Visit." Du Yan immediately answered. Although it was awkward to say it clearly and clearly, he knew that Han Qiushi could understand what he meant. At the same time, he couldn't help but look at the two chest-high iron bars. Looking at the courtyard, I had no chance in the last life, let alone any reason to enter this courtyard, so what now? "You also want to learn martial arts from my father?" Han Qiushi smiled and shook his head. "Young people, go back to school and find a good job in the future. Stop thinking nonsense." He shook his head and pushed. The bicycle passed Du Yan and moved forward. Du Yan silently watched Han Qiushi walk away. He looked back at the courtyard again. Was he still the same as in the previous life, with no chance of entering this courtyard? Or does my fate with that person only end in a dreamlike past life? Du Yan thought and felt a sense of loneliness in his heart. He turned around and walked towards the road he came from, leaving only the long shadow cast by the morning sun on the corner of the alley. "Mom, who is that?" A girl stood in front of the window and looked at the young man walking away outside the yard. She turned back to her mother who was also looking out of the yard and asked. "No one, he must be the young man who wants to learn martial arts from your grandfather." Qian Su glanced at it casually and then turned around to help his daughter clean up. "Young people these days don't even learn anything serious. They have to learn martial arts after watching a few martial arts movies." "Martial arts, what's the use of fighting all day long?" "That's not true. If you learn martial arts well, you won't be afraid of being bullied. The boys in our school won't dare to bully me." The girl raised her neck proudly, and then she was beaten. Mother put a big sweater on her head. "What's the use of studying martial arts with your grandpa all day? It depends on what you do in the future." Qian Su shook her head helplessly, but she didn't dare to say this in front of her father-in-law. "Okay, put on your shoes after driving. I'm going to your grandma's house." "I know." The girl jumped from the small bed by the window to the ground, put on a pair of beautiful red leather shoes, and swung her full braids toward the house. Run outside. "Walk slowly, don't knock." Qian Su shouted from behind, and then shook his head helplessly, "Little ancestor, when will you grow up." Leaving the small Xiejie, Du Yan walked forward slowly in a daze. As he walked, he didn't understand why he wanted to go outside Han Bing's yard. What to do? Do you want to see Han Bing? So what if I see you? She should be only ten years old now, and she is still just a child. Do you want to run to her and tell her that you are not allowed to bully others based on your family's martial arts in the future, let alone learn pole dancing based on your knowledge of kung fu? Du Yan shook his head suddenly, and then took a deep breath of the cool morning air. Pretend that you have never met Han Bing in your life, and that you have never had an unforgettable relationship with a girl who, despite being very different in age from you, has boundless passion. Thinking this in his heart, Du Yan felt that he seemed to relax a lot, but when he turned back to look at the alley, he felt that a place in his heart that had never been touched seemed to stay so quietly. into that alley. It is a long way from Xiaoxie Street to the Taihua Municipal Party Committee Building. When the bus passed Xingfu Road, Du Yan saw the two golden doors of the Brilliant Nightclub through the window.   Although it was daytime, there were no neon lights and there were no cars lined up in the parking lot outside, but the two golden doors of "Brilliant" still looked extremely dazzling under the sunlight. Du Yan heard that the two gates were reinstalled during Huihuang's renovation, and the previous gates were completely smashed when Song Jiayi mobilized troops to smash Huihuang. The brilliant boss Zeng Zhenping suffered a big loss that time, and Du Yan was troubled by many things after that, and he didn't even hear much about Zeng Zhenping. However, Du Yan knew that it was just because he didn't have a chance. There are more and more contacts between Taihua, and maybe one day I will have to face Boss Zeng, who will be known as the "Minister of the Taihua Small Organization" in the future. It was still early when Du Yan arrived at the Taihua Municipal Party Committee Building. Although the street where the Municipal Party Committee Building was located at this time was already the center of Taihua City, there was no place for people to spend time like McDonald's. Moreover, Du Yan walked eastward from Tu It was heard there that Li Peizheng was summoned very suddenly by Cui Jianbin this time. Therefore, Li Peizheng hoped to meet and discuss with him before meeting Cui Jianbin, so he agreed to meet outside the municipal party committee at noon. Of course, he would not be able to do so first. Go to the municipal committee. Du Yan walked slowly along the street, while trying to calm down his mood. The previous meeting with Han Qiushi made him gradually forget about his dream-like past life, and it seemed to become real again. When he thought of Han Qiushi, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a touch of tenderness that he had forgotten for a long time due to Bing's youthful vigor and alternative style. "I and Han Bing will probably never meet again in this life, because not only because I have embarked on a completely different path from the previous life, but more importantly, I will never allow Zeng Zhenping to have the opportunity to hurt Han Bing!" Du Yan felt a surge of confidence as he thought about it. If in his previous life he was unable to help Han Bing, and finally watched her maintain his ultimate dignity in such a tragic way, then in this life he believes that he is completely capable. Ability to make up for the original regrets. Feeling that it was getting late, Du Yan stopped and raised his wrist to look at his watch. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking out of the door of a clothing store where he was staying. Du Yan instinctively tilted his head and looked, and immediately saw Chu Yilan, who was holding large and small bags in his hands and looking at him in astonishment. "Secretary-general Chu, what a coincidence," Du Yan said casually when he saw Chu Yilan, "Are you shopping?" Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan standing in front of the store in astonishment. She never expected that he would When she met the person she least expected to see and saw Du Yan's eyes looking at the things in her hands, her face turned red and she instinctively blocked those things behind her, but then she remembered that doing so would be unsafe. It seems too obvious and completely unnecessary. "Director Du is really elusive. He was sent to Taihua as soon as he gave it away," Chu Yilan replied. Although Chu Yilan thought it was a bit ridiculous for two beauties, big and small, to come to Du Yan, she could When I think of his previous impression in my mind, it feels normal. "I remember today is not Sunday." "Isn't Secretary-General Chu also out to buy things?" Du Yan said, looking over Chu Yilan's shoulder. Looking at the shop behind her, he then understood why Chu Yilan looked like that when she saw him. Although the so-called ladies' shops had not yet emerged at this time, with the needs of the market, some shops with female customers as the main target appeared in some cities. Most of these shops were decorated in a fashionable manner, and they became popular among some well-off families at that time. A good place for female customers to visit. After all, it is more convenient to buy some things here. Hearing Du Yan implying that she went out to shop during working hours, Chu Yilan secretly cursed. Speaking of which, if she, the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, had not been working as a receptionist, she would not have much to do. In addition, because of all the rumors about her, There are rumors that many jobs that are too complex or require responsibility are not given to her. Instead, Chu Yilan often has to take the initiative to find work. However, because her job in the municipal party committee is mainly to receive external guests, this also makes Chu Yilan's time seem to be much freer than others, but she rarely uses this freedom to leave her job, but who would have thought that just this once, she would be inexplicable Du Yan bumped into him, and it was in such an embarrassing place. "Secretary-General Chu, I don't want to disturb you if I have something else to do," Du Yan said just as Chu Yilan was about to speak. Then, regardless of Chu Yilan's reaction, he turned around and walked towards the municipal committee. Speaking of which, Du Yan is not afraid of Chu Yilan, but when he thinks that she is Chu Yijun's sister, it is hard to embarrass her again. What's more, she is the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee. Although the two people are of the same level, they are still There is a superior-subordinate relationship, so it¡¯s okay to offend the deputy secretary-general.What a good thing. ¡°After all, Chu Yijun had helped him before, so he couldn¡¯t use the same method he used to deal with Zhang Wenliang to deal with Chu Yilan. Du Yan saw the Pingling County Committee's car parked on the roadside not far from the Municipal Party Committee. When he saw Li Peizheng's secretary Xiao Li standing by the car and looking around, Du Yan raised his hand slightly to attract his attention, and then He walked over and got into the rear door that Xiao Li opened. Seeing Du Yan get into the car, the driver also got out of the car and walked to the roadside with Xiao Li. Only Li Peizheng, who was silently meditating, and Du Yan, who didn't speak after getting in the car, were left in the car. "Xiao Du, Secretary Cui said he wanted to meet the two of us," Li Peizheng finally broke the silence. He tapped his fingers lightly on his leg. Seeing that Du Yan had no intention of speaking, he continued, "The municipal party committee is about The tone has almost been set for adding a standing committee member to Pingling, and it may be announced next month. " Du Yan nodded silently. According to organizational regulations, the number of people in the first-level standing committee must be an even number. This is of course to facilitate decision-making. When judging and voting, it is more about establishing a relationship of confrontation and balance between factions. The so-called politics is to seek development in struggle. The root of this "struggle" is ultimately just for the purpose of "struggle". "Xiao Du, I originally thought that your return this time could help me further open up the situation in Pingling." Li Peizheng glanced at Du Yan, then slowly took out the cigarette case from his pocket, lit a cigarette and started smoking. "Now It seems that the situation in Pingling may become more complicated. " Du Yan still didn't say anything. He knew that Li Peizheng could say this, and he was obviously extremely disappointed with his performance after returning to Pingling. Du Yan felt helpless and could only lament the impermanence of the world. Who would have thought that he and Li Peizheng, whom he relied on since waking up from the dream, would eventually reach such a point. "Secretary Li, I will always respect you," Du Yan finally said, watching Li Peizheng smoking silently. "Your integrity and courage to take responsibility have always been my role models. No matter what happens in the future, I will always respect you." They will all regard you as their teacher." "But you still decided to go your own way, right?" Li Peizheng said lightly, "I know you have some thoughts about me not supporting you in this matter of the heavy machinery factory, but you have to understand. The power of this is to understand that the heavy machinery factory itself is not important. What is important is that you cannot make mistakes politically. You should know this better than me. " Speaking of this, Li Peizheng looked at Du Yan strangely, although he was not interested in Du Yan. It is not yet clear how deep the relationship is with the upper echelons, mainly the Song family, but Li Peizheng has long been aware of Du Yan's unusual sensitivity in grasping political trends. But it is precisely because of this that Li Peizheng never understood why Du Yan made such a mistake at such a critical moment. Didn't he know that with the release of the Southern Tour speech, reform had become a process that no one could stop? Otherwise, will it be crushed into a piece of high-speed train? "Secretary Li, sometimes something must be done," Du Yan looked at the bustling crowd outside the car window. "Otherwise, when one day you find that you have to do it, it may be too late." Li Peizheng looked at Du Yan's profile, After a while, he sighed softly and said, "Xiao Du, just take care of yourself." Walking into the office building of Taihua Municipal Committee again, Du Yan's feeling this time was completely different from the previous one. In the past, every time he followed Li Peizheng into this building, he followed Li Peizheng very cautiously, and almost no one really noticed him, but now when he took a slightly wrong step and followed Li Peizheng, , looking at the oncoming municipal party committee cadres, he could feel the different looks of people looking at him. At this moment, Li Peizheng was not the focus of people's attention. After all, at this time, the entire Taihua officialdom already knew that Zhang Wenliang, who made a trip to Pingling with thunderous force, not only failed to gain anything from Du Yan in Pingling. It was cheap, but inexplicably disappeared. Just this piece of news, no matter how many twists and turns or rumors there are, is enough to make the entire Taihua officialdom turn their attention! Cui Jianbin's secretary Xiao Deng seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he saw Li Peizheng and Du Yan, he immediately came up to him. Perhaps he was very aware of the embarrassment of being a left-behind secretary. Xiao Deng's attitude was very humble, unlike other leading secretaries. What looked like humility was actually arrogant, but he was more stable and decent in attitude. It was only the look of curiosity and a hint of jealousy when he looked at Du Yan that made Xiao Deng look immature. Seeing the two people walking into the office, Cui Jianbin, who was reading documents, raised his head and took off his glasses. There was no expression on his slightly pale face, and his eyes were just looking directly at the two people standing not far from the desk. "Comrade Peizheng, thank you for your hard work, please sit down." After a while, Cui Jianbin saidHe opened his mouth to speak, but he just said hello to Li Peizheng. As for Du Yan, he ignored him. "Secretary Cui, do you have any important instructions for coming to us this time?" Li Peizheng asked cautiously after sitting down. Cui Jianbin's calm expression made it impossible for him to guess what the municipal party secretary's attitude was towards what just happened in Pingling. Perhaps we can only guess a little bit from his attitude of ignoring Du Yan. "Comrade Peizheng, you should already know that Governor Gao Ke is coming to inspect," Cui Jianbin picked up the glasses cloth on the table and slowly wiped his already clean glasses. "What's your attitude?" Huh? " Li Peizheng's mind flashed. Hexi Province Governor Gao Ke had already informed him more than a month ago that he was going to inspect Taihua. This made everyone in Taihua immediately become nervous. Logically speaking, Gao Ke The most nervous person during Ke's inspection is not Cui Jianbin, who is Taihua's leader, but rather the mayor Ren Shuqiang. After all, Cui Jianbin is almost ready to step aside and enjoy happiness, and what kind of feelings does Gao Ke have towards Taihua? Impression is the key to whether Ren Shuqiang can successfully succeed Cui Jianbin. It¡¯s just that Cui Jianbin suddenly asked this question, which made Li Peizheng feel uneasy. Because Li Peizheng can imagine that Cui Jianbin at this time should least want any big trouble in Taihua. Only through a smooth transition can Cui Jianbin be transferred to a casual position and rush to a higher level before retirement. Opportunity. ¡°Otherwise, if it gives the provincial leaders the impression that they are leaving a lot of mess for their successors, it will also have a great impact on whether Cui Jianbin can get what he wants in the next few years. Thinking about this, Li Peizheng felt troubled. He knew that Cui Jianbin would not have anything good to say next, and as secretary of the county party committee, he failed to be consistent with the municipal party committee on the matter of the heavy machine factory, which should also make Cui Jianbin very dissatisfied. Li Peizheng briefly glanced at Du Yan, who was sitting next to him. Although Du Yan was not only drifting away from him now, but the rift between the two people might become bigger and bigger in the future, whether it was out of feelings or out of Due to the needs of Pingling's situation, he didn't want Du Yan to be simply squeezed out. This would not be of any benefit to Li Peizheng. "Secretary Cui, we regard Governor Gao's inspection as the top priority in the county and as a political task. The Municipal Committee can rest assured on this point," Li Peizheng sighed inwardly after saying the beginning. Knowing that the real difficulty begins now, "In addition, Secretary Cui, I would like to report to you that regarding the Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory, as the leader of Pingling, I bear leadership responsibility for failing to implement the spirit and instructions of the municipal party committee. "Li Peizheng said carefully, "In this matter, our Pingling County Party Committee made a selfish error regardless of the overall situation, but Secretary Cui has some specific situations that need to be reported to you." Cui Jianbin waved his hand slightly to stop Li Peizheng's next words. , he put down his glasses and looked at the two people sitting opposite him with a pair of slightly cloudy eyes. "Comrade Peizheng, how to solve the specific situation is your Pingling County Committee's work. I will not interfere here." Cui Jianbin turned his eyes to Du Yan, and his calm expression finally showed a hint of dignity. "What I want to ask you is, the authority of the Taihua Municipal Committee Do you still want to defend it? Do you want to implement the municipal committee¡¯s resolution? Is Pingling still under the leadership of the Taihua Municipal Committee?¡± After three consecutive questions, Li Peizheng felt his hands wet. He had already thought that he was about to face a storm. , only when he really faced Cui Jianbin's questioning that sounded peaceful, but every word went to the point of death, did Li Peizheng realize what kind of invisible but huge pressure he had to face! "Secretary Cui, the Pingling County Committee resolutely implements the resolution of the Taihua Municipal Committee. I can guarantee this with my party spirit," Li Peizheng said with a serious expression. He knew that there must be no ambiguity at this time. "But Secretary Cui The situation at Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory is indeed quite special. It involves almost all aspects of Pingling, especially thousands of employees and their families. This does require the city to give us a certain amount of time to do the work, but you Don¡¯t worry, we know what to do, and we will definitely solve the problem before Governor Gao Ke comes to inspect.¡± Listening to Li Peizheng¡¯s words, Cui Jianbin reached out and tapped lightly on the table, and then he looked at it for the first time. Looking at Du Yan. "Comrade Du Yan, this is our first formal meeting," Cui Jianbin asked slowly. Seeing Du Yan about to stand up, he raised his hand to stop him. "As far as I know, you are not only Taihua, but also You are the youngest deputy director-level cadre in Hexi Province and the youngest member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. This is rare, but it is also because of this that some people have doubts about whether you can shoulder your current responsibilities. It seems that these doubts are still very strong. According to this." At this point, Cui Jianbin stopped. He carefully observed Du Yan's expression. When he saw that Du Yan didn't look embarrassed because of his words, he saidHe continued, "As for your resistance to the municipal committee's resolution on the Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory issue, I have read the relevant reports. You should be very clear about the seriousness of this matter." Looking at Cui Jianbin even if he said such dangerous words But his expression remained calm, and even his tone remained calm. Du Yan suddenly felt that the rumors about Cui Jianbin he had heard before were a bit funny. Cui Jianbin may not be able to adapt to normal work pressure due to his physical condition, but he This person cannot be ignored. Maybe even when many people in Taihua were ready to take action because of Cui Jianbin's physical problems, the always low-key municipal party secretary was watching them coldly, and those who were jumping up and down might still be unable to get rid of his palm. Cui Jianbin is probably the most tolerant person in Taihua officialdom! "Secretary Cui, of course we support the municipal committee's resolution, but the problems at Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory are too serious, and some of the situations are even shocking," Du Yan told Cui Jianbin that Qiao Luowei said someone would come down to investigate. It's still unclear when the incident will begin, but now Cui Jianbin has overwhelmed him, which makes Du Yan feel unprecedented pressure. But unlike Li Peizheng, Du Yan is also thinking about Cui Jianbin in this matter. Whose side are they on and what role do they play? "Secretary Cui, the workers at the heavy machinery factory have questioned some situations during the evaluation process. I think if they are ignored, it may arouse workers' dissatisfaction, which will lead to It would be a very bad consequence. After all, if some unexpected incident occurs on the eve of Governor Gao Ke¡¯s inspection, the impact would be very bad.¡± Li Peizheng¡¯s palms broke out in a layer of cold sweat again, and he even turned his head slightly uncontrollably. Looking at Du Yan, he never expected that Du Yan would dare to speak to Cui Jian in such a vaguely threatening tone. ¡°If the previous conflict between Du Yan and Zhang Wenliang might be able to be eased and resolved, then openly confronting the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, or even using a subtle threat, would be a desperate act. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of mind that Du Yan is just an ordinary cadre, even a red child with a rich background like the Song family will only end in a dismal outcome if he cannot follow the officialdom conventions. The expression on Cui Jianbin's face was still calm, and he was not angry because of Du Yan's words. He opened the drawer of the desk and took out a pack of cigarettes. He took out one but did not light it. He just put it under his nose and smelled it, and then Put it back. "Do you think there are any specific operational problems with the restructuring of the Heavy Machinery Factory?" Cui Jianbin asked, but he obviously did not expect Du Yan to answer his question. "It is the province's decision to arrange pilot restructuring of large enterprises in Taihua. Anyone can Nothing can stop it. I believe you are also aware of this. It is inevitable that some problems of this kind will arise during the restructuring. This is definitely not an excuse or reason to stop the restructuring. " "Of course Secretary Cui, reform is an inevitable trend. This is. This point has been fully pointed out in the spirit of the leader's speech at the beginning of the year." Du Yan looked unmoved. At this time, he increasingly realized that Cui Jianbin's intentions were unclear. If Cui Jianbin fully supported Zhang Wenliang, he would not believe it, because Du Yan Yan knew that Zhang Wenliang's father-in-law Sui Jianchao belonged to the typical new reform faction that had just emerged, but Cui Jianbin was an old-fashioned cadre. The most important thing was that at this time, in addition to trying to maintain the stability of Taihua, how could Cui Jianbin be involved in a sudden change in front of his eyes? When I was about to go down, I got mixed up in such a muddy water where no one could tell the details? Because of this, Du Yan was confident to say that to Cui Jianbin, because he knew that Cui Jianbin should be able to distinguish the importance, but in this case, what is Cui Jianbin's purpose? "Secretary Cui, we just hope that the pilot process of the heavy machine factory will It is more convincing, and at the same time, there is an environment that can ensure the smooth progress of the reform, which is also a necessary prerequisite for ensuring the healthy development of the reform." Cui Jianbin fell silent in the office, and Li Peizheng could only wait and see. Cui Jianbin stood up, and the two of them followed suit. "Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory," Cui Jianbin said in a slightly more serious tone, "Do you have any evidence about the problems in the factory evaluation report? How can you be sure that there must be problems in it?" Li Peizheng was slightly startled when he heard Cui Jianbin's words. He was thinking about this. The meaning of the words said: "The workers have doubts about the results of the evaluation, and we have also considered whether we can conduct a new evaluation. Of course, we believe in the previous evaluation unit, but doing it again can at least prove the previous evaluation." "It's completely fair, and it's also to do the work of the workers." "Then how can you ensure that the second evaluation is accurate?" Cui Jianbin asked again. He looked at Li Peizheng and then at Du Yan. "I think it is." You have preconceived subjective assumptions about this matter, which is very bad. Even if you want to conduct a re-examination, you cannot do it with this attitude, which will make it difficult to proceed. ¡±With that said, Cui Jianbin walked back to the table, sat down, looked at Li Peizheng and said calmly: "Well, the attitude of the Municipal Committee on this matter is clear and resolute. The restructuring of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory must be carried out. There is no discussion on this. As for the specific operations, I think we can find a suitable comrade to participate. Although the Heavy Machinery Factory is a city-managed unit, after all, the factory is located in Pingling. What this comrade needs to do is to participate rather than intervene. In this regard, he must do both. To fulfill one's duties, one must also be sensible." At this time, Li Peizheng finally understood Cui Jianbin's intention. His mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what role this so-called participant would play in this matter. , and even thought about what impact this matter would have on the entire Pingling situation as it develops. The most important thing is that Li Peizheng realized that Cui Jianbin¡¯s ultimate goal is stability and balance! Otherwise, he can directly designate someone he likes by giving an order instead of saying it in this implicit way. Because Li Peizheng could imagine that as Cui Jianbin intervened in the affairs of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory, Ren Shuqiang, who had always been a spectator, might react immediately. "In this case, Secretary Cui, I suggest setting up an review team that will work jointly with the city's assessment team. As for the selection of this team, do you have any instructions?" Li Peizheng asked. "Your suggestion is good," Cui Jianbin still looked so calm. "As for the candidates, you can decide for yourself. I just want to give you an opinion. In order not to affect the normal progress of the restructuring, the candidates should try to consider that there are not too many interests in this matter." Conflicts, or comrades who don't have too many personal subjective thoughts are more suitable. After all, you are just cooperating with the review, not directly participating." Du Yan saw Li Peizheng's cheek twitching habitually and then said: "Secretary Cui, In order to ensure that the restructuring can proceed smoothly, I personally recommend Comrade Geng Zhen to serve as the leader of this review team. " "You can make your own arrangements for the specific candidates," Cui Jianbin said lightly, and then he looked at Du Yan. "In addition. I have something to tell you about your development zone." Cui Jianbin took out a document from the file column and pushed it to Li Peizheng: "This year's Shanghai Spring Fair will be held. It¡¯s started. The city attaches great importance to this and has decided to let Deputy Mayor Kuang, who is in charge of industry, lead the team. Who are you planning to send in your new district to follow this time?¡± Listening to Cui Jianbin¡¯s obvious hint, Li Peizheng turned around and said something. He glanced at Du Yan with regret, knowing that not only did Du Yan completely miss an excellent opportunity that should have belonged to him this time, but he might even be completely ignored because of his participation in the Spring Fair. After all, Du Yan had just taken office, and in the He was sent out before he fully grasped the power of the new district. Maybe when he came back, the new district had completely changed. "Secretary Cui, since this spring fair is so important, I want to go there in person on behalf of the new district." To both Cui Jianbin and Li Peizheng's surprise, Du Yan took the initiative to bring it up. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Official Sailing" Chapter 20 Chapter 20 The Butterfly Effect Until he walked out of the municipal party committee building, Li Peizheng was wondering why Du Yan offered to participate in the Shanghai Spring Fair. In Li Peizheng's view, Cui Jianbin's intention was very obvious. If letting Deputy County Magistrate Geng Zhen join the evaluation team of the heavy machinery factory instead of Du Yan was considered a balancing act, then in the name of the Spring Fair, Du Yan was transferred That was purely to give Du Yan some color. Sitting in the car, Li Peizheng looked at Du Yan with a look of helplessness and regret. Speaking of which, Du Yan was his first confidant in Pingling. Although they were friends with Ding Bingxian, they had more of a cooperative relationship. , Du Yan was purely his subordinate, and the person he once trusted the most. But no one expected that Du Yan seemed to have changed a lot after he came back this time. Although he had not had any conflicts with Li Peizheng so far, Li Peizheng had a feeling that maybe if things continued like this, the two of them would one day part ways. Go to the opposite side. Li Peizheng didn't want to see this scene, but he also knew that no one could decide this. From the day Du Yan left Pingling for the new district without waiting for him to come back, Li Peizheng knew that Du Yan was no longer by his side. That loyal secretary is now a colleague no different from anyone else on the Standing Committee. "Xiao Du, after you go to Shanghai this time, who are you going to let take care of the new district on your behalf?" Li Peizheng asked seemingly casually. He felt helpless when he asked this, but the situation is like this, and it is not whether he As for the question of willingness, since Cui Jianbin wants to marginalize Du Yan again, Li Peizheng cannot watch the fat meat of the New District fall into the mouths of others after Du Yan leaves. "Secretary Chang Geng can still take charge of the new district," Du Yan smiled slightly. Seeing his smile, Li Peizheng felt like a thorn in his heart for some reason. "In addition, the new district is composed of three towns and one place. Yes, Secretary Chang Geng may not be able to fully grasp it on his own. I think the economic guidance group of the new district can be used as a specific functional department. It has been pointed out that the group was originally set up by Secretary Chang Geng. Now helping him do specific work should be used to make the best use of his talents. " Li Peizheng nodded. He had heard about the economic guidance group in the new district. He also vaguely heard that this temporary organization was a place of exile used by Shi Changgeng to fight against dissidents. This once made Li Peizheng have feelings for Shi Changgeng. He had some opinions, but now he couldn't understand that when Du Yan offered to participate in the trade fair, he not only recommended his previous opponent in Daqing to replace him, but also recommended the economic guidance group prepared by Shi Changgeng himself. Could it be that Du Yan really just decided to give up after breaking the rules? Li Peizheng really couldn't figure out what was wrong with this, but what Du Yan said later made him stop thinking about those things: "Secretary Li, regarding this re-evaluation of the heavy machinery factory, I would like to ask you something I think you'd better report this to Minister Qu." Li Peizheng paused, turned to look at Du Yan, and nodded silently after a moment of silence. It seemed like we really needed to give Qu Xiangdong a call. When it got dark, the car drove into Pingling County. Du Yan declined Li Peizheng's offer to take him home and got off the car at an intersection. Looking up at the dark sky, Du Yan exhaled a long breath. It seemed that everything was really as Qiao Luowei said. The incident at the heavy machine factory had completely alarmed some people, except Zhang Wenliang. Behind Sui Jianchao, there may be some group factions that even Du Yan had not thought of. What did Qiao Luowei say at that time? Go back and take care of your new district? Du Yan pondered secretly and shook his head slightly. This time, he really listened to Qiao Luowei's words, even a little too much. Instead of following his advice, he even took the initiative to send himself to Shanghai. The next few days should be very lively, Du Yan secretly thought in his heart. Although he didn't know who in the province would eventually take the lead in re-auditing the heavy machinery factory, one thing Du Yan knew was that the water here was too deep, and it was absolutely impossible. It's not like I can mix things up now. If I have to follow this muddy water, the end result will probably be that I become someone's scapegoat. Stop when it's time to stop. Too much limelight is not a good thing. Du Yan thought about getting on a bus. It was only when the bus drove for a while that he heard the conductor announcing the bus stop. He suddenly realized that the bus he was on was The train wasn't going home, but it was heading to Su Qian's house. I originally thought that I could stay together with Su Qian when I returned to Pingling, but who would have thought that so many things happened one after another. Now that I think about it, it has been almost half a month since I came back, but there has been no contact with Su Qian except on the phone. The opportunity to contact him made Du Yan feel guilty. ¡°If I go to Shanghai this time, I don¡¯t know when we can meet again. In addition, it was time to make some arrangements for Su Qian according to the plan that I had already thought of. Thinking of this, Du Yan gave up the idea of ??getting out of the car. ? ?When he was outside Su Qian's house, Du Yan hesitated for a moment, then knocked gently on the door. It was Gu Weifen who opened the door. She was stunned when she saw Du Yan, as if she didn't know what to say. "Auntie, is Su Qian at home?" Du Yan nodded to Gu Weifen. No matter what happened, Gu Weifen was always Su Qian's mother. He couldn't be rude to his elders. Although this was helpless, it was also fundamental to human nature. "Yes, yes." Gu Weifen nodded immediately, then half-turned to make way for Du Yan. At the same time, as if he finally remembered something, he looked at Du Yan and said hesitantly, "Xiao Du, you haven't come yet. Yeah, I heard that you have returned to Pingling a long time ago? " Listening to Gu Weifen's words that seemed to be flattering and complaining, Du Yan smiled apologetically. He could understand that Gu Weifen was probably afraid of him at this time. Don't be afraid, after all, Gu Weifen went too far in the past, which makes it inevitable to be on tenterhooks when facing Du Yan now. "Du Yan!" A slightly surprised voice came from the back room. Su Qian immediately walked out of her room when she heard the sound. When she saw Du Yan, her face couldn't help but reveal surprise, surprise, and vague uneasiness. Until she saw Gu Weifen standing aside with a calm expression, she quickly walked a few steps to Du Yan and looked at him seriously, "Why are you here so late?" "Qianqian, during this time I've been too busy and haven't come to see you." Although he couldn't do it too much in front of Gu Weifen, Du Yan still took the shy Su Qian's hand and said, "I just came back today, I came to see you." Su Qian bit her slightly. Pursing her lips and nodding, she looked at Du Yan seriously. She mentioned that the two of them had never met each other since the last time they met years ago. This long period of lovesickness sometimes made Su Qian feel uneasy and even more heartbroken. She was full of suspicion, and she could not forget Zhao Xiaoyun's heroic figure in military uniform. Whenever she thought that Du Yan might be attracted by Zhao Xiaoyun's unique youthful and energetic temperament, Su Qian felt waves of inexplicable pain in her heart. Now that she saw Du Yan suddenly appearing in front of her, the grievances and uneasiness she had always felt seemed to disappear. Although in front of Gu Weifen, Su Qian also held Du Yan's hand tightly and refused to let go. . "Who is here?" Su Qian's father, Su Guozhong, walked out of his room with a wine glass in hand. He was stunned when he saw Du Yan. "Hello, Uncle Su." Du Yan bowed slightly. He still respected Su Guozhong, his father-in-law. Although his relationship with Du Yan was not close, he did not care about Du Yan's relationship with his daughter. He objected, which made Du Yan grateful for many years later. "Xiao Du, what's wrong with coming here so late?" Su Guozhong asked casually. His words made Gu Weifen, who was standing aside, immediately look at Du Yan uneasily and complained to her husband: "What the hell, Xiao Du, Xiao Du, you talk nonsense after drinking two more drinks. It's so bad for others to hear it." "As she said this, she turned back to look at Du Yan with a flattering smile on her face. "Don't worry, Qianqian's father is like this. He doesn't know the rules when he talks." "What are the rules?" She drank all the wine in her hand and waved her hand nonchalantly, "What's the matter, do I have to care whether my son-in-law is called Secretary Du or Director Du?" "Dad!" Su Qian's face turned red for an instant, but her eyes showed a trace of anger. With a happy look on his face, "Stop talking nonsense." "Why are you talking to your dad?" Su Guozhong scolded Su Qian, and then said to Du Yan, "I said Xiao Du, I was about to talk to you, why did it take so long to come back?" If you don't come to the house, will you become a leader and look down on our family Qianqian? " Seeing Su Guozhong's red face, Du Yan had a headache. Speaking of which, this father-in-law only drank one sip, but he didn't drink much. In the memory of Du Yan's previous life, every time he drank with Su Guozhong, it was a torture for him, because after Su Guozhong drank too much, he would always talk non-stop and the more he persuaded him, the more powerful he would become. Whenever this time, Du Yan could only act like His listeners could not wait until his drunkenness subsided. "Qianqian, your dad drank too much again. I'll help him go back. You and you go into your room to talk." Gu Weifen saw that the situation was not going well and immediately winked at her daughter, and then continued to persuade her. She helped her husband into his room and then closed the door. "I said you drank too much and became confused again," Gu Weifen said after entering the room and threw Su Guozhong onto the chair. "Do you think Du Yan is still the poor boy he used to be? He is now the leader of the county party committee. You drink like this. If you really want to piss him off, what do you want our daughter to do in the future? " "You are just confused," Su Guozhong slowly picked up the wine bottle next to him and poured himself a glass. He He didn't look like he was drunk at all. "You also know that this guy is the leader of the county party committee. If one day a big leader takes a fancy to him and wants to recruit a son-in-law, our family will not be able to cry at that time."??, so now we have to settle their matter as soon as possible. I have made it clear now that I want to force him to marry Qianqian of our family as soon as possible. " "Yes, that's the truth," Gu Weifen looked at her husband with some surprise, "Why can't I usually see that you still have such a frivolous heart? " "I have a lot of Huahua intestines, so you can't tell. Su Guozhong curled his lips, "It's a pity that I didn't succeed in my work, otherwise I would have been no worse than others." " "That's not easy. Let Qianqian talk to Du Yan. Why don't we immediately arrange a good place for you, my father-in-law? Gu Weifen said as she turned around to leave the house, "I'll tell Qianqian to go." " "return! Su Guozhong shouted, "What are you going to do now?" The young couple were making out. "As he spoke, he took a sip of wine and chuckled, "Don't be in a hurry, take your time, you can't tell, our Qianqian is really discerning, she has long seen that Du Yan is a master who can be relied on, yes, yes. " Just when Su Guozhong was praising his daughter's vision, the two people who entered Su Qian's room hugged each other tightly as soon as they closed the door! "The long-term lovesickness turned into bursts of love, and my waist ached from being hugged. Su Qian was almost completely paralyzed in Du Yan's arms. When Du Yan's tongue opened her lips and gently explored her, Su Qian couldn't help but let out a suppressed "hum" sound. This sound aroused the feeling in Du Yan's heart. With a fire that had been suppressed for a long time, one of his hands was stroking the curves of Su Qian's back, and the other hand was climbing towards the towering peaks of Su Qian's chest. "Don't let dad and the others hear," Su Qian said. She quickly grabbed Du Yan's hand and whispered uneasily that she was really afraid that Du Yan would behave randomly at home, and when she thought of the miserable sight of being torn apart by him every time, Su Qian felt scared. The strange feeling of anticipation again, "Be honest. "Okay, then be honest," Du Yan smiled. He stopped and leaned back to look at Su Qian carefully. Looking at Su Qian's face that seemed to be slightly thin, Du Yan felt a trace of guilt in his heart. He leaned forward gently. Kissing Su Qian gently on the forehead, "I haven't come to see you for so long, do you blame me? " "Weird," Su Qian said honestly, but after finishing speaking, she shook her head slightly, "I don't know. I don't understand what you are doing now, and I can't help you. Sometimes I wonder if you You forgot about me, but I feel relieved now that you are here. " Du Yan's heart suddenly trembled, and his face turned pale at the same time. It would have been fine if Su Qian had complained or said something irritated, but hearing her simply say "Don't worry" made him feel more relieved than hearing it. Su Qian's complaint made her feel even more uneasy. Seeing Du Yan's expression, Su Qian couldn't help but froze slightly. She stretched out her hand and gently touched Du Yan's cheek with her slender fingertips. Seeing that Du Yan seemed to be about to speak. , she folded her hands to cover Du Yan's mouth, and then just shook her head gently: "Don't say it, I don't want to hear it, some things are just fine this way, there is no need to say it too clearly. " "sorry. "Du Yan took Su Qian into his arms. He felt so ashamed at this moment, and even felt ashamed in front of Su Qian, but when he heard Su Qian gently holding his head, she kept talking as if she was coaxing a child. After saying "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter", his heart slowly calmed down, and then he completely nestled in the arms of Su Qian who was sitting on the bedside. Su Qian's slender fingers inserted into Du Yan's thick hair and gently combed it. Seeing the tired look on Du Yan's face, she lowered her head slightly and kissed the top of his head: "Du Yan, come home when you are tired from working outside. I will wait for you at home. " "Qianqian. "Du Yan took Su Qian's hand and kissed it gently. He was very familiar with these hands, as if they were really destined. Whether it was in the past life or this life, he had held these hands since he was very young, and he also These hands held him tightly during the lowest moments in his life, and they never left him. This made Du Yan even hesitate about some of his arrangements at this time. Du Yan knew that maybe for Su Qian, a A warm and peaceful home is what she hopes for most, not the future he wants to arrange for her. But Du Yan has no other choice. He knows that from the moment his own fate changes, the fate of those around him will also change. There will be huge changes, and the biggest change may be that of Su Qian. "Qianqian, let me tell you something," Du Yan sat up straight, he had completely calmed down by now, "I want you to resign. " "Resign? "Su Qian asked somewhat unexpectedly. "Yes," Du Yan looked at Su Qian seriously, "I want you to go to Donghai City. " "Going to the East China Sea? "Su Qian looked at Du Yan in astonishment. She couldn't react for a while, "But why should I go to the East China Sea? " "Aren't you interested in stocks? "Du Yan said as he glanced at some financial books on the table next to him, and two books on stock operations that were still very rare at this time."I want you to go to the East China Sea first and learn some specific things there. Stock trading cannot be learned by just reading a book." "But we don't have any capital at all," Su Qian said. He looked at Du Yan with understanding, "Do you want me to use the royalties you gave me before? What if I lose the money? Besides, the money is not enough at all." "You don't have to worry about this," Du Yan smiled slightly, "And I I don't want you to go alone. I won't worry about that. " "What do you want?" Su Qian looked at Du Yan in confusion. She felt a little uneasy. She was always quiet and simple except for the outstanding things her parents gave her. Apart from her appearance, she is a girl who is willing to be ordinary. Although she also has dreams, she hopes to live a simple but down-to-earth life with the person she loves. Now she hears that Du Yan suddenly wants her to do something that although she had longed for before, she couldn't. It was something she never really thought she would do, and Su Qian couldn't help but feel an indescribable uneasiness. "You don't need to worry about this now, but you have to be prepared. I will tell you when the time comes." Du Yan put Su Qian's hands together and held them gently. "Qianqian, sometimes we have to change our lives. This It's not whether we are willing or not, but the environment forces us to change." Looking at Du Yan's serious look, Su Qian nodded slightly with some understanding. She could feel that Du Yan's return this time was very different from before. Changes, as for what she has become, she couldn't tell for a while, but vaguely, Su Qian felt that Du Yan was no longer the stubborn person he used to be. Even though he was criticized countless times by teachers and booed and ridiculed by classmates, he was still stubborn. The little boy who accompanied her to and from school every day was no longer the young man who refused to give up on himself no matter how much his mother scolded him. "Du Yan, are you tired?" Su Qian asked gently. Du Yan nodded slightly. He put his head gently on Su Qian's shoulder, smelled the faint body fragrance coming from her body, and said softly: "Sometimes I am very tired, but there are too many things to do. Qianqian, you Can you help me?" Su Qian said softly, feeling Du Yan's gentle kiss on her neck, and whispered: "I will help you, I won't let you be too tired alone. " Listening to Su Qian's words, Du Yan felt tenderness in his heart. Although he knew that Su Qian would obey his arrangements, he still couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that Su Qian, who always liked a peaceful life, was willing to make such a big change for herself. Excitement and affection burst out as her lips pressed against Su Qian's lips. It was almost nine o'clock when he came out from Su Qian's house. When he got home, Du Yan could only quietly go back to his room without disturbing his parents as before. But just as he turned on the lights, there was movement in the main room. Sang Shulan was naturally very happy to see her son coming back. She hurried to the kitchen and made a bowl of egg noodles. She couldn't stop laughing when she saw her son eating deliciously. When she accidentally saw a long strand on Du Yan's clothes. hair, she asked in a low voice: "Go to Qianqian's place?" Seeing her son nodding sheepishly, Sang Shulan smiled even more happily. She really liked Su Qian, but when she heard that Du Yan was very fond of When she was about to go on a long trip, she muttered unhappily: "Why do you still have to go out after becoming a leader?" "Mom, tell me, I won't travel when I become a leader. Maybe I will become the head of the central government in the future. Do you have to visit abroad?" Du Yan joked. "Your son is still addicted to officialdom. You are already the leader of the county party committee and you are not satisfied. You still want to be the head of the central government?" Sang Shulan stretched out her finger and knocked on her son's forehead, and then said sternly, "I will speak first, no matter what." No matter what official you become in the future, you must never change your mind towards Qianqian, otherwise I won¡¯t be able to forgive you, Chen Shimei.¡± ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry, I will never change my mind towards Qianqian in this life,¡± Du Yan assured his mother. I also told myself this secretly in my heart. After calling for a long time, Sang Shulan returned to her room. Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, Du Yan hesitated, but when he thought of meeting Cui Jianbin during the day, he picked up the phone and called Qiao Jianbin. Luo Wei's phone number in Tongyang. After the phone rang a few times, it was connected, and then Qiao Luowei's voice came from the phone: "Hello, who is this?" Listening to the different and slightly lazy voice from the phone, Du Yan thought in his mind I couldn't help but picture Qiao Luowei leaning on the bed with a lazy posture. Somehow, the person he was about to call Mr. Qiao turned into "Luo Wei, it's me, Du Yan." Qiao Luowei on the other side of the phone seemed to take a slight breath, and then there was a slight acknowledgment Suosuo's voice was followed by Qiao Luowei's colder tone that was slightly more casual than usual: "What's the matter so late?" "Mr. Qiao, something is going to bother you again," Du Yan also became calmer When he came down, he felt that he had lost his temper just now because he was entangled with Su Qian but could not be gentle. He just listened to Qiao Luowei's wordsWith a cold tone, he felt an inexplicable loss in his heart. "Today, Secretary Cui from Taihua summoned Secretary Li and me. Secretary Cui mentioned the restructuring and asset evaluation of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory. It seems that the assets will be re-evaluated." He is very active in this matter." "It's so fast. It seems that some people in Hexi Province have close relations with the above," Qiao Luowei said lightly, and then her tone became slightly serious, "Du Yan, remember. What I told you yesterday, take care of your own new district and don¡¯t interfere in this matter.¡± ¡°I want to interfere but I can¡¯t. Secretary Cui asked me to attend the Trade Fair with Deputy Mayor Kuang¡¯s delegation. Maybe these two things will happen. Just leave." Du Yan smiled bitterly. Qiao Luowei seemed to be slightly surprised and said "Oh?", and then said: "That is a good thing for you. Now the matter of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory has become a bit complicated. It would be good to leave Pingling at this time. "At this point, Qiao Luowei paused as if thinking about something and then said, "Although this is a self-examination by Hexi Province, the person in charge of the investigation is the key. If the information I got is correct, the team of the provincial inspection team. The director should be Zhu Qinghao, deputy director of the Provincial Department of Industry." As if he was afraid that Du Yan wouldn't understand, Qiao Luowei clicked next: "This Zhu Qinghao was proposed by Yang Weiquan. He previously served as the deputy mayor in charge of industry in Linchi. " Hearing what Qiao Luowei said, Du Yan was stunned. He thought that the executive deputy county magistrate Geng Zhen was an exchange cadre from Linchi. He also thought that Cui Jianbin had almost named Geng Zhen by name before. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised for a moment. If Cui Jianbin hadn't hinted that Geng Zhen would join the heavy machinery factory to investigate, who would have thought that Cui Jianbin, who has always been steady and low-key, would be a member of the young and ambitious Yang Weiquan? Du Yan couldn¡¯t help but secretly lament that Cui Jianbin suddenly landed in Taihua from the central ministries and commissions a few years ago. Before that, no one knew which faction he belonged to. Just when people were wondering what he would bring to Taihua's officialdom, Cui Jianbin unexpectedly fell seriously ill. But if you think about it carefully, even without that illness, this person usually kept a low profile. This is obviously not in line with the situation. The style of an airborne cadre. And it was two years after Cui Jianbin arrived in Taihua that Yang Weiquan came to Hexi. Now it seems that Cui Jianbin is likely to be the pioneer arranged by the Yang family for Yang Weiquan in Hexi. In order not to attract the attention of his opponents, Cui Jianbin has always kept an unusually low profile. But the unexpected serious illness made it difficult for Cui Jianbin to control Taihua, and the arrival of Ren Shuqiang made Cui Jianbin extremely tolerant in the face of adverse situations. After all, behind Ren Shuqiang was the man who could compete with Yang Weiquan. Negative people. But Cui Jianbin is Yang Weiquan¡¯s vanguard after all. Although he tolerates it, he will never give up. When the opportunity of Taihua Heavy Machinery Factory arises, Cui Jianbin, who has been patient for a long time, finally exerts his strength! Thinking of this, Du Yan took a deep breath. Only then did he feel that he was beginning to truly come into contact with the truth about the political earthquake in his previous life that not only shocked Hexi, but also had a huge impact on the future political situation of the country! And he also clearly realized what a huge chain reaction the flapping of his little butterfly wings had! "Mr. Qiao, thank you for telling me this," Du Yan said sincerely, and then he said casually, "Also, Mr. Qiao, I wonder if you are interested in the stock market in Donghai City?" Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Planning for Pingling "The stock market?" Qiao Luowei asked a little strangely. She felt a little uncomfortable with Du Yan's jumping way of thinking, but she still continued to ask, "Do you have any suggestions?" "Mr. Qiao, I want to use Huachang The strength and background of the group, and the situation of the domestic stock market that has just begun to operate, are well understood," Du Yan analyzed in an organized manner. He knew that if he wanted to attract Qiao Luowei's attention, he must have enough practical things. He believes that what he provides will definitely attract the attention of Qiao Luowei and even the entire Huachang Group¡¯s senior management. ¡°Now the domestic stock market has just started. In order to form a climate as soon as possible, it is likely to be an environment where water is released to raise fish. However, although such an environment can The concept of the stock market is quickly promoted in the country, but it will inevitably have some negative effects. I think the authorities do not want the domestic stock market to operate in an unhealthy way. " "It seems that you are really involved in a wide range of things," Qiao. Luo Wei said something in approval or ridicule, and then she seemed to realize that her tone was a bit casual, so she slightly increased her tone, "I can understand that you think the current environment of the domestic stock market will bring bad results. But you have to realize that this situation is only temporary. Once the market reaches a certain scale, corresponding regulations will naturally appear. Are you worried about this? " Du Yan was silent for a moment. He knew what he was thinking. Many people now seem to be unfounded. After all, the domestic stock market has just formed. Even some experts who are quite knowledgeable in finance believe that it is okay to relax the policy in the early stage and even allow some acceptable illegal operations. , but people don¡¯t know that the stock market is like a newly born little beast. If the greedy side of its nature cannot be restrained from the beginning, no one will be able to restrain it when it grows up. The chain, not to mention the special political environment in the country, may become the root cause of this greed. But it was precisely the background environment of this special era that allowed Du Yan to see a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's just that if he is just a small fortune, that's it. With his understanding of the general trend of the domestic stock market, he can always gain something. But now Du Yan no longer thinks so. For him, a bigger prospect or simply ambition is gradually taking shape. "Mr. Qiao, I heard that in order to encourage the formation of a stock market as soon as possible, Donghai City allocates stocks to government and corporate personnel in the form of administrative orders," Du Yan continued, "I know this is also a way to promote it as quickly as possible, but I heard It is said that some people are buying these allotment stocks at low prices from these people. I think this is not what Donghai City wants to see. " "Oh? What did you hear?" Qiao Luowei's tone became serious. Qiao Luowei seemed to understand some of the meaning in Du Yan's words because of his political sensitivity developed through years of contact with high-level officials. "Are you saying that someone is deliberately going against the stock market in Donghai City?" "I'm not very clear about this. But I think since it is a new thing, there will always be people who find it unacceptable. After all, the reform will offend the interests of some people." Although Du Yan spoke a little vaguely, the meaning of his words was already very clear. I feel it is necessary to put forward some suggestions and opinions on this matter, but I am not an expert in this field, and I am not good at financial operations, so I can only talk casually. " "Well, is that so?" Qiao Luowei said slightly. She made a sound, but she didn't expect that Du Yan would suddenly become interested in the East China Sea thousands of miles away at this juncture. The key was that although he was just talking in general terms, Qiao Luowei had already vaguely realized what Du Yan was alluding to. And she could also tell that Du Yan didn't seem to want to be too public about this matter. "I will think about this issue. If you have any suggestions, you can call me." "I am not familiar with finance, but Su Qian He has some expertise in this area," Du Yan finally said his intention. "In fact, the private acquisition of stocks cannot be regarded as having any intention. Maybe some people have indeed seen the situation correctly, but Mr. Qiao, don't you think so? Is this a promising market? " "Slippery." This word flashed through Qiao Luowei's mind on the other side of the phone. At this time, she gradually understood what Du Yan meant. It was obvious that he was proposing something. While making suggestions, he also put forward his own conditions. This was different from the simple giving before. But when he looked back and thought about Qiao Luowei, he discovered that Du Yan's seemingly unrewarded efforts from the beginning were ultimately more or less unrequited. He has received huge profits, which can be seen from the fact that he became a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee from a small secretary in just one and a half years. "Do you want Su Qian to go to Donghai City?" Qiao Luowei asked. Although she knew that the next sentence seemed inappropriate, she couldn't help but continue to ask, "Do you want to send Su Qian away?" Let's go, so I won't bother you." Even though they were on the phone, Du Yan's face still turned red. He didn't expect Qiao Luowei to ask such a question, which made Du Yan feel embarrassed and strange. Oneself emotionallyEven my parents couldn't tell me that I was upset, but this person who was sometimes distant and sometimes close to me was extremely clear about it. "Du Yan, it's not good for both of them if you do this," Qiao Luowei sighed softly. When she wasn't talking about business, her attitude became slightly softer. "I can see that Xiaoyun has something on his mind these days. I Your girlfriend is not a fool. You may end up with nothing in the future. " "Hey, I don't know what to do," Du Yan scratched his head in worry. Sometimes he really did what he wanted. He had to make a choice, but no matter which choice he made, he felt as if he had given up a very important part of his life. Only then did he suddenly realize that Su Qian was someone he could never give up, and Zhao Xiaoyun's status in his mind was It has become extremely important. "Luo Wei, what do you think I should do?" "You" I don't know if it was because Du Yan was a little unhappy about calling him by his name again, or because he really couldn't answer this question. Qiao Luowei stopped there. After a moment, her faint and cold voice came, "I'm sleepy, let's go to bed first." After saying that, there was a crisp "click" sound, and then there was a busy tone from the phone. Du Yan held the microphone for a moment, and then slowly put it down. Qiao Luowei's last few words made him feel a little disappointed because of the success of his plan. Lying in bed, he kept tossing and turning until dawn, Du Yan didn't even fall asleep. Qiao Luowei's words kept lingering in his mind: "Do you want to send Su Qian away so that it doesn't bother you?" In the morning, Du Yan called the new district. , the person who answered the phone was Hu Xuecong. It was obvious that Hu Xuecong was a little excited after receiving the call. Thinking that what happened in the past few days had been spread throughout Pingling, Du Yan could also think of Shi Changgeng and even Peng Jun. They might make another move in two days, but Du Yan didn't care about these people's little moves now. "Director Du, Secretary Shi held several meetings in the past two days, and the topic was all about strengthening the party committee's leadership over Daqing Township." Hu Xuecong reported cautiously, "In the last meeting last night, he directly mentioned the current party building work in the new district. It's very unsatisfactory, and he said that he would propose to the county to increase the strength of the grassroots branches. "Secretary Shi is right. Strengthening the leading role of the grassroots party branches is our top priority," Du Yan said. Hu Xuecong said, "Xiao Hu, this kind of report will not be necessary in the future. This is within the scope of Secretary Chang Geng's work." "Okay Director Du," Hu Xuecong responded with some confusion, "Director Du, do you have any specific instructions? " "You should inform the district that I will go back later in the afternoon, and ask your father to inform the relevant people in charge of the group not to go out. I have a meeting in the evening," Du Yan ordered, before attending. Before the Shanghai Spring Fair, it¡¯s time to make some specific preparations. Du Yan was not in a hurry to return to Pingling, but he also did not go to the county committee. He had already greeted Li Peizheng yesterday, and now that the news came that the province would send people to investigate the heavy machinery factory, people's focus has now been It was Geng Zhen who was suddenly placed in the review team. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see right away that the fact that the province has come down to review the team means that the direction of the wind may have changed, and the person who entered the review team is Geng Zhen, the executive deputy county magistrate, not Du Yan, who originally instigated the matter. , from this point alone we can see the attitude of the city leaders. Thinking that many people were avoiding him at this time, Du Yan walked along the bank of Xiaoqing River. Although the wind was biting to the bone, the bank was gradually turning green. Du Yan smiled secretly. From a distance, he saw the bamboo fence that led directly from the back eaves of Liyu Residence to Xiaoqing River. Du Yan quickened his pace. When he was at home, he had already asked Hu Xuecong to inquire. He knew that Shen and Fu were at this time. In the county town. Seeing Du Yan, Shen Hefu was still so enthusiastic. Although there were rumors in the county these two days that Director Du had offended the city's Deputy Secretary Zhang. He didn't go, but Shen Hefu didn't care at all. In the office on the second floor of Liyuju, Du Yan nodded secretly as he watched Shen Hefu pouring tea for him and then sitting opposite him, waiting seriously for him to speak. In the following years, Shen Hefuneng finally managed to win out from many competitors and became a local rich man who could speak in Pingling and even Taihua. Naturally, he had his unusual vision and courage. Although Du Yan also heard that Shen Hefu later had a close relationship with Guo Songlin, who became the secretary of the county party committee, and even had a relationship with Ren Shuqiang, after the collapse of Ren Shuqiang and Guo Songlin, Shen Hefu did not act like Ren Shuqiang's cheap brother-in-law Zeng Like Feng Chao, who had become Guo Songlin's hard-core thug at that time, Zhenping fell when his backer collapsed, but ended up after a storm.From this point alone, we can see Shen Hefu's ability to judge the situation and his powerful skills! For people like Shen Hefu, Du Yan has neither a favorable opinion nor a dislike. If you want to get bigger in domestic business, it is impossible not to involve some gray areas. Just like the fact that the early days of capital accumulation in the West were bloody, the country is also full of All kinds of shady things. "Boss Shen, I'm here to give you a suggestion." Du Yan got straight to the point. He had to be straightforward when talking to people like Shen Hefu. It's the nature of people like him to be motivated by profit. "I don't know what you think about Factory 307." Are you interested in that land?" Shen Hefu, who always had a smile on his face, looked slightly stunned. He slowly picked up the tea cup on the table, thought about it while drinking tea, and then said with a smile: "Director Du , why did you mention Factory 307? That is a confidential military industry unit. I am a little scared when you ask this. " "It turns out that Boss Shen is not interested, so forget it," Du Yan picked up the tea cup and said calmly, "After all, it is. Boss Shen probably can't eat nearly two hundred acres of land." Hearing Du Yan's words, Shen Hefu's hand holding the teacup paused. He looked at Du Yan in surprise and asked tentatively: "Du. Director, Factory 307 is not that big. Even the several factories at the back add up to only a few dozen acres. Isn't the two hundred acres you mentioned a bit?" Du Yan looked up at Shen Hefu with a smile on his face. As he spoke, the look in his eyes made Shen Hefu feel as if all his secrets had been exposed. "Director Du, have you heard something?" Shen Hefu had calmed down at this time. He knew that Du Yan came to the door at this time and directly mentioned the matter of Factory 307. If he didn't have some accurate information, it would be impossible. Yes, what he wants to know now is what Du Yan's plans are, whether he is preparing to take a share of it, or whether he just wants to enjoy the autumn wind. "Old Shen, your business is quite big, but your layout is a bit small." Du Yan put the teacup on the table and pushed the teapot to the middle of the table. "You said that your carp lives in a good environment and your craftsmanship is authentic. , but why did the county assign the reception work to the county canteen? What do you think you are missing?" Shen Hefu was stunned for a moment and then smiled bitterly. Speaking of which, this is also something that a powerful man like Shen Hefu has been helpless about. In the past few years, he has been helpless. He has been trying to get the county to designate Liyuju as a county reception spot. He has spent a lot of money and given gifts, but there is no result. After going back and forth, his heart has cooled down. "Old Shen, the location of your carp house is too remote. If you want to receive superiors, how can the county bring you here? Besides, the 307th Factory is also in shabby conditions. Who would want the leaders to see this? What do you think?" Du Yan didn't care about Shen Hefu's expressions, so he continued, "I know you have a big heart, and you even want to make a big deal for this. Tell me, Old Shen, are you mortgaged the Carp House to raise funds? Are you married?" Shen Hefu's always calm face finally showed a look of surprise. He never expected that Du Yan actually knew about his mortgage of Liyuju! "You want to take over the wall behind Factory 307, and then use the loan to build a front house facing the street, right?" Du Yan revealed Shen Hefu's plan without leaving any room. In fact, in later generations, this was indeed the beginning of Shen Hefu's real start. Using the money raised from the mortgage of Carp House, Shen Hefu took over nearly 400 meters of the wall in the backyard of Factory 307 in one go, and then he used the money raised to build A commercial strip of several hundred meters facing the street has been built. This move was definitely a rare and generous move at the time. Many people even thought that Shen Hefu was crazy. After all, Pingling, as a county town, did not have such a large commercial market. It is said that at that time, Shen Hefu not only occupied the carp house, but also his house. They all mortgaged it, and also borrowed high-interest private loans. It can be said that they have completely staked their entire lives on the land of Factory 307. Many people are still arguing about Shen Hefu's actions at that time, even many years later. Some people say that Shen Hefu took advantage of loopholes in the policy, while others say that he used money to open up certain joints and obtain inside information. Some even say that Shen Hefu is just lucky. But no matter what, the commercial strip of a few hundred meters facing the factory became the first step for Shen Hefu to become a legend. With the leasing of the front houses and shops in the form of sub-lease, it also promoted the development of the backstreet of No. 307 Factory. After the business atmosphere improved, Shen Hefu resolutely turned his attention to the abandoned factories in the 307th factory yard that had long ceased production. Using the leasehold rights of the entire facade building he owned as collateral, Shen Hefu once again raised a sum of funds and began to purchase a large number of factories in Factory 307. Then, before people understood what he wanted these abandoned factories for, following The impetus formed by the commercial street environment, the Pingling West Market Commercial District project was finally confirmed, and the land in Shen Hefu's hands suddenly became very hot, and every inch of land was valuable.It was from that time that, taking the demolition of the street wall of the small No. 307 Factory as an opportunity, Shen Hefu used his modest land and very little capital as capital to start a small business in Pingling. Leverage a huge market, thus beginning his personal legend. Looking at Shen Hefu, who is smiling and always seems to be harmonious, Du Yan has to admit that this person is definitely a talent in capital operations! However, later on, Shen Hefu was not only able to successfully acquire the factory building of Factory 307 at a low price, but was even able to influence the location selection of the Pingling Commercial District project to a great extent. Du Yan believed that it was definitely not just a matter of Boss Shen¡¯s talent. The more reason could only be that by that time, Shen Hefu had already had a relationship with Guo Songlin. Du Yan didn't want to think about how many silver bullets paved the way. "Old Shen, it's true that the wall in the back street of Factory 307 is a geomantic treasure, but have you ever thought about it, if you can't take over all the abandoned factories in the courtyard of Factory 307 at once, what will happen once this happens in the future? If the entire land is developed, the front houses in front of you will become a big obstacle." Du Yan asked, looking at Shen Hefu. Shen Hefu looked at Du Yan in surprise. At this time, he had naturally not thought about those abandoned factories. He just saw that with the gradual prosperity of the West Market, a business climate has gradually formed in the Xiguan area of ??the county. , so after careful consideration, Shen Hefu invested such a large sum of money and got through the joints of several main persons in charge of Factory 307 before deciding to spend all his wealth. But now that he heard what Du Yan meant, he not only knew everything about what he had done secretly, but also had other explanations for it. This made Shen and Fu secretly frightened and worried. "Director Du, to tell you the truth, I really have my eye on the place on the back street of Factory 307." At this point, Shen Hefu stopped being secretive and spoke quickly, "I think now The West Market area is almost saturated with vendors. Some small merchants have put their stalls on the street. The big and powerful merchants can't rent stalls, so I'm thinking about finding another place to build some front houses and rent them out. "It's not just that simple," Du Yan smiled faintly at Shen Hefu, "You are building front houses on the street. Once the entire vacant land in the backyard of Factory 307 needs to be developed in the future, what will you do with those front houses? You want to be the first to get it first. In fact, you are interested in the 307 factory, right?" Shen Hefu looked at Du Yan in shock. If he didn't know that his wife could not leak it, he would even suspect that there was something wrong with his family. Ghost, how come Director Du knows so clearly? "Old Shen, I still say the same thing. You are very ambitious and ambitious, but the layout is still not enough. You only want to build a commercial street, but have you ever thought about completely transforming an entire city?" Du Yan picked up the teacup. He took a small sip. "Renovate the city?" Shen Hefu was really confused this time. Before, he thought that Du Yan had heard the news from somewhere and wanted to mix it in before he got the piece of land facing the street. , but now it seems that is not the case at all. "Director Du, where do you mean to transform the city?" "The entire No. 307 Factory only covers an area of ??dozens of acres. It's just because it is a confidential unit, and some Electronic products need to have enough storage and experimental space, so they occupy a large area." Seeing that Shen Hefu seemed to be completely attracted by his words, Du Yan started to get to the point, "So in fact, the 307 Factory itself really needs to occupy There are not many places, and it is well known that Factory 307 has not been very profitable over the years. If the entire factory yard of Factory 307 can be taken over, plus the idle land around the factory yard, then it will At least 200 acres of land. The most important thing is, Lao Shen, don¡¯t you think the urban area of ??Pingling is a bit too old?¡± After hearing Du Yan¡¯s words, Shen Hefu couldn¡¯t help but fell into deep thought. In 1992, Pingling was not only at the bottom of the city in terms of economy, but also one of the backward districts and counties in Hexi Province. More importantly, although Pingling County cannot be said to be in shabby condition, it was definitely the kind that made people At first glance, it looks like a small place with dirt. The two main streets, east and west, have become the iconic streets of Pingling. The central area composed of the Pingling County Party Committee Courtyard and several nearby shops at the junction of the two main streets was the only lively place before. However, the business climate that is gradually forming in the West Market seems to be very informal. It is precisely because of this that Shen Hefu came up with the idea of ????risking investment and building a small commercial district. However, the funds that could be raised were really tight. Secondly, Shen Hefu also had more foresight. If he rashly proposed to take over the factories in the back yard of Factory 307, not only might he fail, but it would attract the attention of the factory. If he took the opportunity to increase the price, he would be taken advantage of. So he? He proposed to build a front house for rent on the fence of the factory's backyard, which virtually surrounded the entire backyard of Factory 307. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he raised another batch of funds. At the same time, because of the access to the outside from the factory's backyard It has been blocked by the front house, and the value that can be used is naturally much lower. This will naturally make it much easier for him to think about those factories in the future. But if we follow what Du Yan said, the situation will completely change. If the county really plans to move Factory 307, and at the same time plan the entire factory and nearby idle land, it will be a big move. , if that is the case, although the facade house in my hand will be very profitable in the future reconstruction of the new city, it is unlikely to occupy the main position. After all, it seems now that the backyard of Factory 307 is almost what Du Yan wants. The edge of the planned area in question. Shen Hefu couldn't help but start to wonder in his mind. He didn't know how reliable Du Yan's words were. Because he was well-informed, he had already heard that Du Yan might not be able to stay in the new district since he offended the city's deputy secretary Zhang. It made him doubt the authenticity of Du Yan's words. And he also felt doubt about how much possibility of a large -scale urban reconstruction in Pingling, a backward county town? Looking at Shen Hefu's hesitant expressions, Du Yan had already guessed what he was thinking. Speaking of which, no one would believe at this time that the entire Taihua will enter a fast lane of large-scale urban and rural expansion in the next few years. In Du Yan's memory, Ren Shuqiang, who succeeded Cui Jianbin, was the initiator of this big move. However, to be fair, whether it is said that Ren Shuqiang is very happy with his success or that he is making random decisions, urban and rural expansion is indeed a trend in the next few years. , and it is such a trend that not only drives the entire domestic market, but even fundamentally begins to move towards the path of real estate-led economic expansion without looking back! ¡°It¡¯s just that although Du Yan knows the future trend, he doesn¡¯t want to just follow the trend and simply benefit from it. In my memory, whether it was Ren Shuqiang or Guo Songlin, who later became the county party committee secretary, their original intention to engage in urban and rural expansion was more for the halo of political achievements above their heads, and there were also various collusions between officials and businessmen and various Gray transactions have turned the entire urban and rural expansion into a profit-seeking hodgepodge. For example, Zeng Zhenping of Brilliant Nightclub is one of the people who made a fortune in this hodgepodge by relying on the ambiguous relationship between his sister Zeng Jing and Ren Shuqiang. . And precisely because of this, this urban and rural expansion has become chaotic. Many places not only have no long-term planning, but even short-term vision. Even a shopping mall that was built just four years ago was blocked because of the obstruction of the next phase of planning. An example of having to be forcibly demolished. More importantly, during this period, some newly emerging real estate developers obtained a large number of land approvals through the road opened by silver bullets, and then left the land idle indefinitely, which artificially contributed to the land shortage. Then, as land prices continued to rise, real estate markets in various places soared like wild horses running wild. When Du Yan thought about it, since he had such an opportunity, he couldn't let it go, but he had to think carefully about what to do. "Old Shen, I suggest you calm down first. If you just invest in front houses now, of course you can still make a lot of money, but compared with the real big guys, I think you can understand the difference, and you should also You know, although the terrain in the backyard of Factory 307 is good, it is in a remote location of the entire Xiguan area. If one day the city is renovated, do you think it will really be useful if you just block the backyard wall?" Du Yan said as he walked around the edge of the teapot placed in the middle of the table, "The new city must be integrated with the old city. According to the plan, your front house happens to be the outermost boundary of the new city. By then, how many people do you think will come to rent your front room in such a remote place?" Shen Hefu listened quietly, his eyes fixed on the teapot on the table, and now he doesn't know anything about this city or country? Apart from how true the reconstruction was, Shen Hefu already fully agreed with Du Yan's other things. Unique vision has always been Shen Hefu's strength. Just like he opened this Carp House by the relatively quiet Xiaoqing River a few years ago, Shen Hefu also has a vision for the prospects of building a commercial street in the back street of No. 307 Factory. Extraordinarily unique. The only thing that limits Shen Hefu is the "overall view" as Du Yan said, and this overall view cannot be obtained casually. In addition to careful thinking and unique vision, more importantly, there must be a person who can A platform sufficient to see the entire situation clearly. Shen Hefu, of course, couldn't see some things because he was not high up, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't be far away if others were willing to point him out. So as soon as Du Yan said his words, he immediately realized that if everything was really like Du YanAs I said, maybe the whole situation will really change. "Director Du, don't blame me for nagging. I want to ask if this idea is what the county means?" Shen Hefu asked. He knew that it was very rude to ask, but after all, his life and fortune were at stake. Shen Hefu couldn't Not careful. "Also, I won't hide it from you. I really invested all my money this time. I don't have a penny in my hand. If you let me continue to invest, I won't be able to get it at all." Come out." Shen Hefu thought it would be better to speak clearly first, thinking that Du Yan came to him specially to reveal such news to him, not just to give him a favor. Du Yan nodded slightly. He knew that Shen Hefu was telling the truth, but his real purpose was not to ask Shen Hefu to invest more money. After all, even if Shen Hefu had stronger funds and could acquire more land, he and Du Yan himself It doesn't matter much. The real key is the real estate domino effect caused by Shen Hefu, which not only affects Pingling, but also Taihua. "Old Shen, you can figure out whether this matter is reliable or not. As for the funds you mentioned, there is no rush. I have something else to do and may leave Pingling for a while. We will discuss it when I come back." Du Yan said to Shen Hefu said with a smile, he knew that what he just said really got into Shen Hefu's heart. With Shen Hefu's keen business sense like a hound, even if there was no such thing originally, as long as someone could give him a little pointer He can immediately enlighten him, not to mention that he has already revealed to him almost all the development trends of urban construction in the Pingling area in the next few years? Du Yan believed that if Shen Hefu ate this bait, he would never spit it out again. Seeing that Du Yan looked like he was about to leave, Shen Hefu stood up and sent him off. By this time, he was almost certain that what Du Yan said was probably true, but his many years of business experience also told him that Du Yan would Revealed to him, there was obviously some purpose. ¡°And he clearly remembered that just when he said that he didn¡¯t have the funds to acquire such a large piece of land as Du Yan said, Director Du seemed to show a meaningful smile. After leaving Shen Hefu's Liyuju, Du Yan got on the bus bound for the new district. Feeling the bumps and bumps on the road, Du Yan began to wonder if it was time to build a new road from the new district to the county seat. Daqing's Qingguo Winery has been very effective in the nearly two years since it opened. Not only has the entire Pingling market been occupied by Qingguo Wine, but also several neighboring counties and even Taihua. It has occupied quite a bit of territory. But this only achieved Du Yan's original goal. As for the porcelain factory in Liuliji, although the efficiency was good, it was much worse than that of the winery. As for Du Yan, he was not in a hurry because he knew that in fact the porcelain factory was not in a hurry. The real spring of the porcelain factory has not yet come. In 1992, the domestic interior decoration market was still very small, and many places were still dominated by cheap and low-end decoration. As for architectural decorative ceramics, it was still a fairly new field of construction, or it could be said that whether it was high-end The low-end architectural ceramics market is still completely in the hands of foreign joint ventures. This is a technical problem, but it is still more of a conceptual problem. This makes Du Yan determined to take advantage of his advanced awareness before this promising market is truly discovered. , Du Yan is very confident. It was already very late when he returned to the new district, but in a large room in Xiaoliyu Residence, the people he had designated to meet were still waiting for him. When he walked into the room and saw his subordinates chatting, Du Yan nodded and said hello. . Hu Xuecong was very clever. He notified these people separately, so although they all gathered together, they did not attract anyone else's attention. When Du Yan entered the room, several people in the room stood up. "Everyone, please sit down and feel free to do so." Du Yan said and looked at the people sitting closest to him, Hu Weiping, Lao Zhai, Chen Siyou, Liuliji's secretary Lao Mei, and Daqing Winery's The factory director Chen Dahao, and several other cadres in the leadership team who were regarded as available by Chen Siyou. These people can be said to be Du Yan's true direct descendants in the new district, or they can be said to be the new district team he has been training for a long time. "Perhaps you have heard that I will go to the south in a few days. During this period, the work of the new district will be temporarily managed by Secretary Chang Geng." Du Yan got straight to the point and at the same time carefully observed the expressions of these people. At this time, he could really Knowing everyone's thoughts, only at such a time can we truly understand who can stand up and take the lead at critical moments, who can be there as a support, and who can't be counted on at all. "director,The new district was created by you. Although you have been absent for a while, everyone knows the work you did before the establishment of the new district and what Director Liu did when he was in office." Lao Zhai said slowly, "Don't worry. , we know what to do. " "Director, Old Uncle Zhai is right, no one in the new district can change the world. "Chen Siyou spoke more directly. At the same time, he turned around and looked around, as if asking others to agree, and also seemed to see if anyone had doubts about his words. "The new district's economy needs to be developed. This is The key," Du Yan raised his hand to Chen Siyou, "This time I went to Shanghai Spring Fair mainly to see if there are any projects worth introducing. What you should pay attention to when you stay at home is the issue of the integration of the new districts of the three towns and one area that I raised for you before. The previous independent fighting must not continue. If the resource advantages of the three towns and one area cannot be brought into play, , everything we do is empty. "Speaking of this, he looked at Lao Mei of Liuli Ji. "Lao Mei, I know that your life in Liuli Ji has been better recently, but this is not enough. The most important thing is that you cannot fully exert Liuli Ji's natural magnetism. On the way here, I saw some big trucks driving by. Maybe you think you have made a lot of money, but in my opinion, you are just stuffing gold bricks into people's arms. I will talk about this later. Find a way to help you solve it. As for you, great." Du Yan looked at Chen Dahao, who looked like a typical farmer entrepreneur in his outfit at this time. "While increasing production, it's time to consider changing the direction of the winery's production. " "Director, what do you mean by shifting the direction of production? I still can't figure it out," Chen Dahao asked carelessly. "Speaking of which, our Qingguo Wine is now the emperor's daughter, so she doesn't have to worry about getting married. People from eight neighboring counties are coming to us. Come here to buy wine, there were even guests from Linchi a few days ago. " Looking at Chen Dahao's seemingly disapproving look, Du Yan secretly thought, maybe many people here think like Chen Dahao. From the beginning when the Qingguo Winery was established, many people consciously considered Qingguo Wine It is regarded as a low-end local wine from Pingling, or at best a local wine from Taihua. But Du Yan¡¯s thoughts have never been on Pingling or Taihua. His purpose is obvious, which is to make Qingguo wine. The brand has been built into a high-quality product among northern mainland wines. Because of this, more than a year ago, he asked Chen Dahao to start trial production of blending different grades of flavors using old secret recipes passed down in the past. It was only because of a sudden accident that he had no choice but to After a year, the efficiency of Qingguo Winery is getting better and better, but because of this, whether it is Chen Dahao or some other cadres, they may inevitably have the idea of ????resting in small fortunes and not wanting to make progress. , and this is what Du Yan definitely doesn't want to see! "Great, in the market, if you don't advance, you will retreat." Du Yan does not hope that Chen Dahao can fully understand his thoughts, as long as he can follow his own intentions. Just do it, some people are suitable for strategizing, and some people are more suitable for charging into battle. "Since this period of time, how is the progress of the old secret recipe wines we have made? Tell me. " After Du Yan said a few words, Chen Dahao's face turned a little red, but when he mentioned the green fruit wine, his energy immediately came up. "Director, during this period, we have been trial-producing several different flavors according to the old secret recipe. The good things are all authentic goodies, but the process and the required storage conditions are too complicated, and there is no way to produce them in batches. Chen Dahao scratched his head and said, "As you know, the ordinary green fruit wine is still in short supply even if it is used at full power throughout the day. But if we make those old secret recipe wines, we will lose money if we only produce them at that time." " "Dayou, why do you think gold is valuable? "Du Yan looked at the grumbling Chen Dayou and smiled slightly. "Of course it's because there are too few, and too many are as worthless as iron lumps. "Chen Dayou said casually, and then he opened his mouth with enlightenment. "Yes, just because there are few, the rare ones are the most valuable. Speaking of which, if you really drink dozens of those old secret recipes every day, If tons of it are brewed, it won¡¯t be valuable. "Du Yan said and turned to look at Lao Mei. "In addition, I think it's time for those special wine bottles that Liuliji specially designed and developed in the past. Do you think such a bottle of wine will be used in the future? Is there a market? " Chen Dayou looked at Lao Mei in astonishment. More than a year ago, they had seen with their own eyes those wine bottles made from prototypes designed by Du Yan himself. They had to admit that, in addition to being unique, In addition to the beautiful shape, Du Yan also reduced the requirements for magnetic impurities regardless of cost, making those wine bottles look like pieces of art in themselves. Thinking of those wine bottles, when exposed to the sun, you can even see the wine inside. Chen Dayou looked at Shadow's packaging wine bottle and said with some uncertainty: "Well, then at leastA few dozen dollars, right? " Seeing Chen Dayou's hesitation, Du Yan wanted to laugh. He remembered that when he gave Li Peizheng a bottle of trial-produced secret recipe green fruit wine more than a year ago, Li Peizheng also guessed at the price of this wine. At about this time, Du Yan knew that many people today obviously still don¡¯t really understand what the so-called high-end wine means. ¡°You must remember that you are not allowed to sell even a ton of the old secret recipe wine, otherwise I will directly sell it. I am looking for you, the factory director, to ask. "Du Yan said with a stern look. "Du Yan's meeting didn't last long, because he knew very well that what he did was not in line with the organizational principles, and if he really wanted to dig deeper, it would be a crime of attracting cliques. , but he had to do this due to the current situation. After the meeting was over and people left, Du Yan asked him to accompany him to his residence when he looked at Hu Weiping. Low-key, unless others are talking to him, he is just listening silently. In fact, at this time, he is acting as a recorder, and the recording method can only be his rather amazing memory. After all, this It is not convenient for such a private gathering to have meeting minutes on paper. "Wei Ping, after I leave this time, the coordination work of the new district will be handed over to you," Du Yan did not mention him by name, but he believed it. Hu Weiping should be able to understand what he meant by coordination. "You should pay more attention to the team. After all, Siyou is still young. As for the general aspect, it is as I just said, as everyone has agreed." Do it, remember these eight words, be careful not to be impatient or impatient, and stay away from the edge for now, and wait until I come back to talk about everything. " After listening to Du Yan's instructions, Hu Weiping nodded. Although he didn't know why Du Yan could be so calm and composed when he was being retaliated like this, but thinking about what Director Du had experienced before, he couldn't help but feel Compared with the previous incident where he was directly taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission but still made a comeback, this incident seemed to be nothing. This was the second day when I saw the smile on Shi Changgeng's face when he was handing over work to Du Yan. Only then did Hu Weiping realize that as the central and coordinating liaison in Du Yan's small circle, the burden on his shoulders was definitely not light. And on April 1, when he was notified to report to the Taihua Municipal Government, Du Yan knew that this spring. The deputy leader of the rendezvous inspection team was actually Chu Yilan, deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Another Prince The train moved forward with a monotonous rumble on the rails. The drowsy feeling of the swaying was extremely strong in this spring afternoon. Du Yan was sitting in the sleeper car. Sitting on the chair by the window in the outer corridor, watching the scenery passing by outside, I was thinking about the arrangements I had made before leaving. In addition to holding a small-circle meeting to set the tone of the new district after he left, Du Yan finally made the key decision to let Su Qian take a leave of absence without pay in the unit. Because of this, Gu Weifen was very unhappy. In Gu Weifen's view, if Du Yan became a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, then his family would have stepped into the official family, and they would never be able to leave again. Not only that, if Su Qian's father hadn't dissuaded her, she would have encouraged her to do so. Then Su Qian got a good job for her father. Unexpectedly, he expected his daughter to follow her boyfriend's lead and find a better job, at least in a career establishment. But who would have thought that Du Yan actually secretly encouraged his daughter to take a leave of absence without pay, which Gu Weifen knew about It was a lot of crying and fussing that never ended. But this time Su Qian didn't listen to Gu Weifen. She stubbornly told Gu Weifen that it was her decision to suspend her salary and stay in her job. When she told her family that she had decided to go to Donghai City to seek development, Gu Weifen was completely frightened by her daughter's bold behavior. . On the other hand, Su Qian's father, Su Guozhong, hesitated and finally nodded after listening to his daughter's words. Su Guozhong had already seen that his daughter was really determined this time, and after hearing that his daughter was going to Donghai City to work for a big company, Su Guozhong's mind came alive. Su Guozhong also knew that his daughter made this decision, and there must be Du Yan's reasons for it. Although he didn't understand why Du Yan did this, when he thought about it carefully, Du Yan had gone from being a clerk at a small cultural center to a Su Guozhong, a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee at the deputy division level and the director of the new district with real power, felt that Du Yan must have some kind of plan that others could not figure out with this arrangement. So after appeasing Gu Weifen, Su Guozhong acquiesced to Su Qian's decision to suspend her job without pay. At the same time, Du Yan had also discussed with Qiao Luowei to arrange Su Qian to work at the Huachang Group's office in Donghai City. According to the results of Du Yan and Qiao Luowei's previous discussions, Su Qian's work in Donghai City I am temporarily responsible for doing some research on the stock market. Du Yan is confident that he will arouse Qiao Luowei's interest in the stock market. Although in his memory Huachang Group has never been listed due to its special background, this does not mean that Huachang is interested in the stock market, an emerging market full of fat. No interest. In fact, the old man of the Song family was an expert in tinkering with financial capital as early as the old society. It was even planned by the old man of the Song family to launch an effective financial war against the Kuomintang-controlled areas at that time, in order to finally dismantle the enemy. The economic system plays a key role. But maybe because of this, Huachang appears to be very low-key in the domestic stock market, and can even be said to be aloof. This can't help but make Du Yan feel wary while wondering. He knows that Mr. Song may be too familiar with the domestic economy. However, Du Yan also knew that as the outstanding third generation of the Song family, whether it was Song Jiayi or Qiao Luowei, there should be more What he wants is to look at the stock market, a thing that has just emerged in China, from the perspective of interests. This can be seen from the fact that within two days after he and Qiao Luowei talked on the phone, he received her promise to let Su Qian go to Donghai City. By this time, Du Yan had vaguely guessed the reason why the Song family asked Qiao Luowei to come to Hexi Province. Logically speaking, Song Jiayi was actually the most suitable candidate to come to Hexi Province. However, Song Jiayi was the well-known eldest son of the Song family after all. If he was allowed to come to Hexi Province, Coming to Hexi Province is likely to attract the attention of others and discover what the Song family is planning to do in the mainland. This is not good for the Song family, which has always been low-key and always likes to seize the opportunity. Qiao Luowei, on the other hand, seems to be much more low-key. It is said that the eldest young lady of the Song family rarely appears in the upper class circles of the capital. Coupled with the unique identity of her husband, the Song family, she is even more mysterious and difficult to be discovered by outsiders. More importantly, Qiao Luowei clearly has the ability to take on this important task, which laid an extremely solid foundation for the Song family to seize the opportunity in the future strategy of revitalizing the inter-provincial economic bridge in the mainland. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Qiao Luowei became so interested in the restructuring of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory. After all, this matter will have an extraordinary impact on the Song family's future mainland strategy. "Perhaps what the Song family lacks is such an opportunity to intervene in Hexi Province," Du Yan thought in his mind. Thinking of the phone call between Song Jiayi's father, State Planning Commission Director Song Guoping and Qiao Luowei, he suddenly felt that maybe what was happening in Hexi was exactly what Song Guoping wanted to see. After all, in Du Yan's memory of future generations, Song Hu, who was then the director of national economics at the time,The relationship between Ping and the one who is currently in charge of the State Council as deputy prime minister seems to be quite delicate. Thinking of this, Du Yan was slightly troubled. He knew that Sui Jianchao, the Minister of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, was an active supporter of the restructuring of most ministries. In fact, after several major industrial ministries were merged, divided, and merged several times, However, Sui Jianchao has always been firmly on the Diaoyutai, and no one can touch him. From this point alone, we can see the reason why Sui Jianchao so firmly supported the restructuring of most departments. Du Yan would not believe it if he said that he had not received a promise to guarantee his power. of. And this time, what Sui Jianchao's son-in-law Zhang Wenliang did in the restructuring of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory also allowed Du Yan to vaguely see a vague clue, that is, some people have obviously become interested in the inland heavy industry base. , and behind this interest is a huge chain of interests. Du Yan knew that he was not qualified to fight against these people now. Even if he wanted to fight against Ma Yiming, the final result would be ruined. But now the situation has changed a lot. If the Song family had They also attach great importance to the development trend of the mainland, so if Song Jiayi and Qiao Luowei started to explore the situation in the mainland early, then the Song family has obviously been deeply involved in the hunting ground for interests in Hexi Province. , and at the same time, with the butterfly effect caused by Du Yan's incitement to review the restructuring of the heavy machinery factory, starting from Cui Jianbin's order to let Geng Zhen participate in the review team, the top domestic forces, including Yang Weiquan, the executive deputy governor of Hexi Province, have already begun A fierce competition. Du Yan took a deep breath. The current situation was exactly what he wanted to see. Although he was still unable to compete with these huge interest groups, he had successfully caused competition between several different groups. The so-called balance is formed in this kind of struggle. When no one can do anything about anyone, it is precisely because of the balance in this struggle that some people's eating habits are not too ugly. Thinking of these, Du Yan had a smile on his lips. He remembered that Qiao Luowei had told him not to let him interfere with the heavy machinery factory anymore. He thought that at that time, Qiao Luowei already knew what was going to happen next, and her warning Looking back now, I can see that he was quite well-intentioned. But even someone as smart as Qiao Luowei would not really understand why Du Yan sent Su Qian to Donghai City, although she had somewhat guessed it. Before leaving, Du Yan told Su Qian to do a few things when she arrived in Donghai City. One of them was to visit one of his teachers at Shanghai University, and the importance of this matter to Du Yan was no less important than that of Su Qian. Under the name of Huachang Group, Qian began to acquire those so-called administrative stocks at low prices. Du Yan clearly remembers that it was around this time that an authoritative professor of materials mechanics at Shanghai University, combined with the most advanced domestic technology at the time, successfully developed a highly automated CNC ceramic machine tool. The degree of precision machining has reached a level that has never been achieved in China. Even at that time, it was unique in the world. However, the rigid system and more inhumane reasons eventually led to this kind of cutting-edge equipment that could have taken this opportunity to bring domestic materials mechanics and automation technology to a higher level. It could only be abandoned alone in the university. In the warehouse of the institute. But here, an American company keenly discovered the amazing potential of this kind of CNC machine tools in high-precision equipment processing and even some military industrial fields, and the Shanghai University who ran around and shouted, was ultimately frustrated and unhappy. The professor had no choice but to accept the invitation of this American company and took several core researchers around him to North America. In the end, both the people and the technology became theirs. Du Yan still remembered that many years later, when he accidentally saw a foreign magazine about cutting-edge application technology, he saw the name of this professor. Although the professor was no longer in charge of research work at that time, he was still responsible for it. The research team brought out has completed innovations and breakthroughs again and again in the field of high-precision ceramic material processing in the United States, and ultimately laid a solid foundation for technological breakthroughs in lightweight ceramic conductor batteries for smart weapons in the United States. Du Yan thought silently that since he had to do it over again, no matter what the purpose was, he could not let this happen again. And the ceramic CNC machine tool developed by the professor made Du Yan seem to see a huge gold mine. A smile appeared on the corner of Du Yan's mouth. He remembered that at this time, the professor was probably in the midst of his research. The prototype that he had worked so hard to create had also completed the production of the proportional lofting mold. Speaking of which, Du Yan I still remember that when I was in school, I often went to the professor's laboratory out of curiosity to see the equipment that was only operated by single-chain data programs at that time. It¡¯s just the stubborn old man and his passionate assistants now.Unexpectedly, what they worked so hard to research would end up being miserable and neglected. Du Yan remembers very clearly that the leaders of the Institute of Automation and Materials of Shanghai University were troubled for that precision ceramic processing machine tool. On one side were a group of stubborn high-IQ people who were full of knowledge but not sophisticated, and on the other side were the college leaders who had already received invitations from above. At the top, Du Yan once saw with his own eyes the leaders of research institutes who had to take detours in order to avoid the scientific researchers who were pestering him for funds and developing indicators. "Then let me pick up this hot potato." Du Yan whispered to himself. As early as when he woke up from the dream, Du Yan had firmly remembered the CNC ceramic precision machine tool at Shanghai University, but he had never had the opportunity, let alone the strength, to touch those things. After all, he had huge research funds and no Although his power made him regret that the country had missed out on this cutting-edge project, he could do something about it. Now it is different. Although he has just returned to the new district, Du Yan is fully confident that he can control his three-acre land. In fact, he has laid the foundation in the new district more than a year ago. With Daqing The winery and Liuliji's porcelain kiln are gradually getting on the right track. The increasingly abundant resources are enough to provide him with a good environment. More importantly, now he has the full name to approach and summon those researchers. After all, Liuli Ji is now also a well-known place for producing porcelain kilns, and he can use the so-called development of new ceramics to talk to those researchers. Thinking of this, Du Yan felt a little proud. Who would have thought that while he was vigorously developing the Liuliji Porcelain Kiln, he would have such a long-term plan in mind? Du Yan couldn't help but smile slightly when he thought of these, but then his face froze, because unfortunately, just when he showed that kind of smile that would make people think it was not serious, he came from the sleeper next to him. A figure coming down from the upper bunk happened to come into his sight, and since that person happened to be coming down the ladder, her bowed buttocks fell right into Du Yan's eyes. Because she had to step hard on the ladder to go down, and the train was moving rapidly, Chu Yilan very carefully grabbed the ladder and stepped down. Because her whole body was tense, the fitted women's suit pants jumped on her body. She walked up and down alternately, and the pants that fit tightly under her waist and hips completely highlighted her almost perfect curves, especially the slightly clear hip line between the two raised hills, which made people feel angry when they saw her. It was at this moment that Du Yan let out a laugh that sounded quite proud. Hearing the laughter, Chu Yilan immediately turned around and saw Du Yan staring at her butt with a sly look and smiling happily. Chu Yilan's heart suddenly filled with anger. Her feet landed hard on the floor of the carriage with a thud. She glared at Du Yan fiercely and then turned around and walked towards the bathroom at the end of the carriage. Looking at Chu Yilan's back, Du Yan was stunned for a while. After a while, he opened his mouth and muttered: "I'm so wronged." Chu Yilan stood in front of the sink angrily and kept washing. When she started, she really didn't expect that little gangster to dare to look at her with that lewd look. Although beautiful women in official circles are always the subject of discussion, there are not many rumors about Chu Yilan so far. Although there are some people who have such and such comments about her behind her back, because she has always been very strict in her work and life, there is not much for people to say, and people who really know her identity will not be casual. She was talking about her merits and demerits, so even though Chu Yilan knew that there were people behind her making up various rumors about her, she didn't care. But Chu Yilan never expected that this little gangster from Pingling would be so bold as to look at her with such a lewd look in front of everyone, and even dared to laugh out loud, remembering that every time she saw this kid before, he seemed to be in a different mood. Chu Yilan felt strange about doing good things. She really didn't know who valued this little gangster and brought him up. "Not a good thing." Chu Yilan muttered. Ever since she learned that she might be demoted, she began to pay attention to the situation in Pingling. ¡°You don¡¯t know the result until you look at it, but you are really shocked when you look at it. Pingling is not only the most backward among the three counties and one district in the city, it is even one of the top poor counties in the entire Hexi Province. There are at least a dozen towns and villages on the national poverty alleviation list alone. To make matters worse, two state-owned enterprises that could originally support the economy of Pingling County, Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory and 307 Precision Electronic Equipment Factory , has been deteriorating in recent years, making Pingling's already dwarfed economic situation even worse. Such a situation made Chu Yilan feel a headache after seeing it. She could imagine what kind of tragedy she would face after going down, which made her wonder what the purpose of her father's decision was. After all,Judging from the earlier arrangements, Chu Yilan's official career path was obviously a fairly smooth shortcut to the south. After graduating from university, he was assigned to work in the Provincial Youth League Committee. After a year in the Provincial Trade Union, he became a full-time student at the age of twenty-five. Then he went to the Taihua Municipal Committee to serve as the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Committee, and at the same time Naturally, he was promoted by half a rank, and became the youngest deputy director-level cadre in Taihua before he was twenty-six years old. During this period of time, Chu Yilan always thought that she might stay in the municipal party committee for a few more years, and then after being promoted to a full position, she would be transferred to a certain district or county to serve as district chief or county magistrate. Of course, if the opportunity was good, maybe she would You can directly serve as secretary of the district committee or county committee. But now, her father suddenly asked her to go to Pingling, a place that was the poorest and seemed to have the most right and wrong. This made Chu Yilan feel a little incredible. And what makes Chu Yilan feel uncomfortable is that she has always been proud of being the youngest deputy director-level cadre in Taihua and even the entire Hexi Province, but inexplicably, Du Yan suddenly appeared, and she was not there At the age of twenty-five, she became the deputy director, which made Chu Yilan very unhappy for a while. Now when she thought of Du Yan's smile when she looked at him from behind, Chu Yilan had the urge to kick him. Thinking of kicking him, a playful smile suddenly flashed across Chu Yilan's face: "You little gangster, don't be afraid that you won't be able to pull it out if you see it in your eyes. You will feel better later." With this thought in his mind, Chu Yilan gradually After calming down, when she walked back from the bathroom, she saw that Du Yan had returned to her berth. She thought that she would not dare to see her for the time being, and Chu Yilan seemed to be fine, although she did not treat Du Yan on the way. What a good look, but he was fine and didn't find trouble with him. This surprised Du Yan. Although he accidentally saw something he shouldn't have seen, Chu Yilan's generosity really made him feel that he was worthy of being a leader. Such a mind, a belly, and a figure were all beyond his reach. Something to say. This actually gave Du Yan another understanding of Chu Yilan. At the same time, he thought of Zhao Xiaoyun. If this happened to Zhao Xiaoyun, the result would probably be a beating, or she might even pull out the pistol. Push it to the forehead. When he thought of the female officer with serious violent tendencies, Du Yan felt that he was actually quite evil. At least his desire to conquer a fierce horse was definitely not pure. The leader of the Taihua delegation to participate in the Shanghai Spring Fair this time was Deputy Mayor Kuang, who was in charge of industry in the city. The deepest impression he had on this deputy mayor, Du Yan, was that he once used the second and fourth tones during a speech at a meeting. I said nearly a hundred "ah"s in a row, but there was almost no sentence in the whole speech that pointed out the problem in a practical way. Du Yan had no other choice but to feel helpless for typical fake Da Kong cadres like Lao Kuang. The domestic political atmosphere had infected such a group of cadres. If there was one more role they could play, that is, they could already perform well. All of them are worthy of winning world art awards, and Lao Kuang is undoubtedly a very qualified actor of this kind. In fact, Du Yan is not optimistic about this spring fair. He naturally knows that Cui Jianbin hurriedly inserted him into the negotiation group just to send him far away and prevent him from being involved in the next Lao Heavy Machinery. Is there any unexpected move in the factory asset evaluation? From this point, Du Yan has seen that Cui Jianbin's attitude on this matter is quite ambiguous. As for letting Geng Zhen join the review team, this is obviously to take advantage of this matter. After all, if Cui Jianbin is really Yang Weiping As for the nails planted in Hexi earlier, he was obviously very willing to see some people behind Zhang Wenliang get caught in this matter. It's just that although Du Yan analyzed this along the way, he couldn't be sure because it was just his own imagination. After all, the water here was too deep. Cui Jianbin and Zhang Wenliang themselves not only represented the two forces in Taihua, but more importantly, they The people behind it. Among them, as the mayor, Ren Shuqiang seems to be able to move between the two people with ease. At least it can be seen from the fact that Guo Songlin, who always likes to cause trouble, almost never expresses his opinion on the matter of the heavy machinery factory. Ren Shuqiang Now it feels like sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight. ??Shencheng, the gateway to the opening up of the South, has become the first place in China to come into contact with the outside world since the 1980s, as the reform and opening up opened the country. If the capital is the political center and Donghai City is the financial center, then Shencheng is a mixture of these two cities. The saying that you don¡¯t know the officialdom until you visit the capital, and you don¡¯t know the money when you don¡¯t visit Shencheng, certainly shows that this city The city can be said to be the representative of the most developed economy in the country, but it is also here that with contact with the outside world, all kinds of fresh ideas that were not exposed to when the country was closed to the outside world are also taking root in this city. The Taihua business delegation arrived in ShanghaiAt that time, as soon as I got off the train, an unexpected heat wave hit my face, which made a group of people accustomed to the northern climate feel a little unbearable. Although people had gradually taken off their thick clothes as they traveled south, this unexpected The unexpected temperature difference still caused some people to take off their coats immediately. Chu Yilan had already put on a light gray suit, a fitted short top and a skirt that covered her lower body. Her capable and solemn but outstanding appearance not only attracted the attention of the people in the Taihua business group, but also Strangers passing by also looked at her from time to time. Vice Mayor Lao Kuang looked at Chu Yilan and narrowed his eyes slightly. Although Lao Kuang didn't know Chu Yilan's background very well, he also knew that the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee had an extraordinary background, and the reason why she was appointed as the deputy leader this time was From what Cui Jianbin meant, it seemed that she had some connections in Shanghai. Lao Kuang didn't care much about this. After all, in addition to being the deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, Chu Yilan also held the title of director of the Municipal Party Committee's Hospitality Office. In Lao Kuang's opinion, even if Chu Yilan did not personally preside over the Municipal Party Committee's Hospitality Office, he could The people in Taihua's office in Shanghai will naturally know the situation in Shanghai better than anyone else. Du Yan followed the team silently with his luggage, but most of the dozen or so people in the group avoided him. Everyone knew that Du Yan was demoted to the negotiation group after offending Zhang Wenliang, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. Maybe after returning this time, the new district director's hat will be lost. Naturally, no one will be willing to get close to him at this time. In the early 1990s, the Shencheng Railway Station was not very large, but because it was an open window to the South and even the whole country, many people gathered here every day dreaming of realizing their dreams in the so-called paradise special zone, so they got off the train. The Taihua business group soon merged into the crowd. Du Yan followed Chu Yilan and moved forward step by step. Looking at the bustling crowd, Du Yan couldn't help but feel emotional. In his previous life, he once went south to Shanghai City in order to make a living. Because of this, he knew very well what kind of things were hidden behind the glamor of this city that carried the dreams of countless people. People kept wandering forward, as if the exit of the station seemed so far away at this moment. When he finally left the train station and came to the square, Du Yan felt that the clothes inside were soaked with sweat. He saw the people in front of him. Chu Yilan wiped the sweat from her face with a handkerchief while looking around for other people. After a while, the Taihua negotiating team gathered together. At this time, they all looked exhausted, especially Deputy Mayor Kuang, who was empty-handed but still panting, as if he would sit on the ground at any time. "Where are the people stationed in the bid? And where are our cars?" Lao Kuang couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead and neck, because he had to worry about the image of the leader, even though he was already covered in heat. Sweating, but he was still well-dressed as usual, but the navy blue double-breasted suit was already crooked, and his tie was already crooked to one side. Just when Lao Kuang was a little dissatisfied, a short man hurriedly ran over from the direction of the square outside the station. He was still far away, and he had already stretched out his hand towards Lao Kuang in the crowd. hands. "Mayor Kuang, welcome to Shanghai. It's been a hard journey." The man ran to Lao Kuang and paused for a moment. When Lao Kuang stretched out his hand hesitantly, he couldn't hold it tightly and shook it. On behalf of the comrades in the Taihua Bid Office, I would like to welcome Mayor Kuang and all the comrades from Taihua. "Mayor Kuang, this is Comrade Mao Jihai, our Taihua Bid Office Director," Chu Yilan introduced to Lao Kuang. Lao Kuang snorted slightly as Mao Jihai held his hand. After shaking hands with several other main leaders of the negotiation group, Chu Yilan asked Mao Jihai in a low voice: "Where is our car in our office? " When Chu Yilan asked, Mao Jihai had a look of embarrassment on his face: "Secretary-General Chu, we have to walk to the outer square to get on the bus. Can you guys just go there?" "That's too much to walk over? "Far?" Lao Kuang didn't say anything, but his secretary asked a little unhappily. At the same time, he pointed to a car driving out of an exit not far away and asked, "How can that car come in?" "That car has a special pass." The embarrassment on Mao Jihai's face deepened, and then he lowered his voice slightly and said to Chu Yilan, "Secretary-general Chu, our Taihua Station can't apply for this kind of pass, do you think?" "Although Mao Jihai's voice was low, several people next to him still heard it. Lao Kuang's face darkened. He glared at Mao Jihai fiercely, and then looked at the car that was about to pass them. Although there was no What to say, but the look on his face was extremely ugly. At this moment, the car that was passing them suddenly stopped. As the door opened, a young man wearing a jacket got out of the car.??Then he strode towards Chu Yilan. "Yilan, long time no see." The young man smiled and said to Chu Yilan. "Ziming, why are you here?" Chu Yilan was obviously a little surprised. Her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, but then she smiled, "I didn't expect to meet you here." "No, I didn't. Come to think of it, I came here specifically to pick you up," the young man said with a smile and at the same time stretched out his hand to Chu Yilan. After holding it, he did not let go immediately, but continued, "After hearing the news that you are coming to Shanghai, , I have been looking forward to it, and I came here specially to pick you up today." He looked at the people in Taihua, and then looked at the large number of waiting vehicles in the square outside in the distance, "Is the car unable to get through?" Hearing the young man's question, Chu Yilan took the opportunity to turn around and took her hand away from the young man, and then nodded in embarrassment: "There is no way, our car can't get in, so many people still can't get in." Bring your luggage." "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" The young man smiled and turned around and whispered something to the person behind him. The man immediately walked quickly towards the two police officers patrolling the entrance to the square. After seemingly saying something, the man came back and whispered a few words to the young man. "Yilan, let your car come over. Everyone is tired standing here. It must have been a hard journey along the way." The young man said and glanced at everyone in Taihua at the same time, but the look in his eyes looked very It was empty, not really looking at someone at all, and then he continued talking to Chu Yilan and ignored everyone in Taihua. Lao Kuang's face was gloomy. Although he was not a member of the Standing Committee of Taihua, he was the top deputy mayor in the city government. But now this young man didn't even have the energy to talk to him. Although he had just seen , his car actually drove out of the station. If you think about it, you can know that he can drive the car directly to the platform. It shows that he has a lot of background, but the anger of being slighted still makes Lao Kuang feel unspeakable. Hair blockage. "Ziming, thank you," Chu Yilan sighed secretly. She turned around and said a few words to Mao Jihai who was standing next to her. Seeing Mao Jihai immediately running out to the square, Chu Yilan hesitated slightly and said to the young man. "Ziming, I have to go to the station to apply for the office with the leader first. How about we contact you when we have time?" Let's go to see my mother together?" The young man didn't seem to care about Chu Yilan's vague rejection at all. He always had a smile on his face, but his unmistakable look clearly revealed his thoughts. "Aunt Xiao, are you okay? I miss her very much." Chu Yilan's tone seemed to loosen when she heard the young man mention his mother, but she continued, "I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything. It's too embarrassing to come empty-handed. Let's do this. After I get everyone settled, I will go visit Aunt Xiao tomorrow. " "Yilan, why are you still related to our family? My mother has been thinking about you all day. I want to see if you become more beautiful when you grow up." The young man seemed not to tolerate Chu Yilan's refusal. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the car behind him, as if to ask Chu Yilan to do it now. Get in the car and follow him. Seeing the displeasure on Chu Yilan's face, Deputy Mayor Kuang felt that he had to come forward. Although he knew that the other party must have a lot of background, he couldn't just watch Chu Yilan being taken away. Secondly, the young man's arrogance also angered him. Lao Kuang took a few steps forward, forced a smile on his face and asked Chu Yilan: "Secretary-general Chu, I didn't expect you have acquaintances in Shanghai." "Oh, let me introduce them," seeing Lao Kuang Kuang stepped forward to save herself. Chu Yilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She took a step back and distanced herself from the young man. "This is our deputy mayor Kuang of Taihua City. This is" "Hong Ziming, "The young man introduced himself without waiting for Chu Yilan to finish speaking. However, although he was talking to Lao Kuang, he did not even look at Lao Kuang's stretched out hand that was frozen in embarrassment. Lao Kuang¡¯s face suddenly turned red. He never expected that the person in front of him would be so disrespectful to him. This made him feel like his face turned red in front of so many people below. Lao Kuang's secretary came over. At this moment, the man who was following the young man took a step forward and said to Lao Kuang, who was blushing: "Mr. Ming's mother is Secretary Xiao of the Municipal Party Committee of Shencheng." Listen. Lao Kuang was stunned for a moment when he said this, and then he seemed to think of something, and his originally red face suddenly turned pale. He looked at Hong Ziming in astonishment, and after opening his mouth to say hello vaguely, he awkwardly said to Chu Yilan He showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Secretary-general Chu, the office in charge of the bid is not very busy. Since you have met an acquaintance, don't rush there. Don't be in a hurry. Don't be in a hurry."With that said, Lao Kuang nodded to Hong Ziming again, then immediately turned around and walked towards the approaching minibus that was driving the application process without looking back. The Taihua cadres following behind them naturally understood clearly at this time that this young man named Hong Ziming was obviously the son of a high-ranking official in Shencheng. Considering that Shencheng is a sub-provincial city, maybe this person's When it turned out that her mother was probably a senior deputy ministerial official, those cadres who originally wanted to stand up for Chu Yilan immediately turned around and followed Lao Kuang towards the minibus. There was a look of pain on Chu Yilan's face. She didn't expect that the person she had been avoiding would not escape at all. Although this trip to Shanghai made her vaguely guess that she might be attacked by this person again. She was entangled, but she had imagined that Shen Cheng was so big that it was impossible for him to touch her. But who would have thought that he would be waiting for her at the train station! Looking at the cadres who walked away as if to avoid trouble, Chu Yilan felt a little helpless in her heart. She knew that under the pressure of Hong Ziming's huge background, it was impossible for these colleagues to stand up for her anymore, and although she could insist on refusing and Hong Ziming They left together, but when she thought of some reasons that prevented her from getting rid of them, she really couldn't speak. Just as Chu Yilan walked helplessly towards the car, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her: "Secretary-General Chu, I haven't finished writing the document you asked me to rush. We are all in Shanghai." Time waits for no one." After hearing this, Chu Yilan suddenly stopped in her steps. She looked back in disbelief and saw Du Yan looking at her anxiously. At this moment, she even felt that this face suddenly became less annoying. "Yes, that document is very important, Xiao Du, why haven't you driven it out yet?" Chu Yilan asked with a slight blame on her face, then turned to Hong Ziming and said apologetically, "Ziming can't help it, we came too soon." I'm in a hurry. I'm still rushing on the train and haven't finished writing a lot of documents. If it's delayed any longer, it will be a real waste. Otherwise, I'll finish the last bit of work today and then I'll visit Aunt Xiao tomorrow. What do you think?" Hong Ziming looked at Du Yan in the distance silently, then withdrew his eyes and smiled at Chu Yilan and said, "Work is important. If I insist on pulling you away, if my mother finds out, she will blame me." , then tomorrow, I will come to pick you up in person tomorrow." As he said that, he stretched out his hand and smoothed away a piece of hair on Chu Yilan's forehead, who was slightly stiff, and then looked at Du Yan in the distance again, and then. He turned around and got into the car and drove away. Chu Yilan looked back and saw Du Yan getting on the minibus without saying anything. Facing the strange looks from people, she found that everyone including Lao Kuang had filled the back seats of the minibus, while the front seats were full. A few rows were completely empty. Chu Yilan slowly sat down on a chair. When she saw Du Yan sitting opposite him, a look of inquiry appeared on her face. She looked at Du Yan carefully, but she felt Not surprisingly. She didn¡¯t believe that Du Yan couldn¡¯t see the fact that even Lao Kuang was afraid of Hong Ziming, and she and Du Yan obviously didn¡¯t have any friendship worthy of him helping her like this, but Du Yan just helped her. The car was driving on the street, and listening to the vague whispers behind her, Chu Yilan felt an unspeakable bitterness in her heart. She raised her head and looked at Du Yan, who seemed to be interested in the street scene outside. After a while, After a while, he finally asked in a low voice: "Do you know who you offended today?" "Yes," Du Yan retracted his eyes, his eyes fell on Chu Yilan's beautiful face and stared at it for a while, and then said calmly and indifferently He said in a tone of voice, "The only son of Xiao Aihong, deputy secretary of the Shencheng City Party Committee." Volume 4 "Volume 3: The Official Sail" Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Bloody Memories Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan with strange eyes. She didn't expect that Du Yan actually knew Hong Ziming's identity clearly, but this made her feel even more incredible. She couldn't understand why Du Yan knew Hong Ziming's identity. , and will make that kind of unwise move. Facing Chu Yilan¡¯s eyes, Du Yan looked at her, then turned his head and continued to look at the street outside the car. He knew that Chu Yilan must feel strange at this time, but Du Yan was not prepared to explain to her. In fact, if it had been someone else, Du Yan might not have waded into this muddy water so easily. After all, it was obviously very foolish to offend the son of a municipal party committee secretary for a woman who had nothing to do with him. But when he heard that "Mr. Ming" was Xiao Aihong's son, Du Yan decided to take action! As the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee of the capital city of eastern Guangdong Province, Xiao Aihong is a woman who is not only well-known but also has sophisticated skills. In his previous life, Du Yan once lived in Shencheng for a period of time to make a living. It was during that time that he saw with his own eyes the spicy and even vicious methods of Xiao Aihong, the third-ranking figure in the Shencheng Committee. In the 1990s, Eastern Guangdong, as the bridgehead of reform and opening up, had passed the initial rough stage and began to develop in a mature, or more cruel direction. After the 100s, people pursued wealth but still maintained a more or less simple style. Since the early 1990s, the entire society has gradually been sliding towards an abyss of degeneration. The most obvious of these is that as a large number of foreign businessmen enter this land, first they are given super-national treatment to those foreign-invested businessmen for the pure pursuit of economic benefits, and then there is gradually more and more unscrupulous collusion between government and businessmen, and in order to protect this interest group. All kinds of things done. And Xiao Aihong is undoubtedly the most prominent and cruel among these officials. In Du Yan's memory, when he first came to Shanghai, around this time, there was a large-scale labor dispute in Shanghai. In that dispute, the workers who could not bear the oppression of the factory were unable to bear it. Representatives from the factory negotiated with the factory, hoping to improve workers' working hours and working conditions. After being rejected, the workers resorted to a work stoppage. The factory's response was to immediately call the Shenzhen City Government. At that time, Du Yan happened to be working in another company not far from the factory. He remembered clearly that on a warm spring day, he saw a terrible scene that he never thought would happen in his own country! Du Yan remembered that that day he saw carloads of police and armed police driving towards the troubled factory from a distance. When they went to take a look out of curiosity, they were blocked by the roadblocks set up. However, even though they were still far away, they could not see it. Looking at the armed police officers holding batons and shields, one can still feel waves of tension. Du Yan and a few good guys were watching from a distance. Just when they were just treating all this as a good show, he suddenly saw a burst of hoarse shouts coming from the factory yard. Those armed policemen waved their sticks and rushed into the factory! At that time, Du Yan could not see what was going on in the factory. He could only feel the creeping terror from the bursts of panicked shouts, painful roars, and the constant shouting from the loudspeakers. Du Yan couldn't remember how long the riot lasted. What he would never forget was that along with the chilling shouts, he could hear the harsh and sharp sound coming from a loudspeaker in the distance. Roaring: "Do you know what you are doing?! Do you know what your nature is? You are on strike! You are sabotaging reforms! You are enemies of the government! Anyone who is an enemy of the government will never end well. ¡± Until a long time later, when he quietly passed by the factory gate, through the gap in the tightly guarded iron gate, he saw the messy and lost shoes, torn work clothes, and security guards on the ground all over the factory yard. The blood stains hastily washed away with water And all this tragedy was the order of Xiao Aihong, who was the deputy secretary of the Shencheng City Party Committee at the time! But what is frightening is that not only was such a major incident not known to other parts of the country, not even a single word was published in the Shanghai Daily. If Du Yan hadn't been not far from the factory at the time, I had no idea such a terrible thing had ever happened. It was not until many years later, with the rise of the Internet, that the massacre that occurred in the early 1990s was finally exposed. As more and more inside stories were exposed, Xiao Aihong, who ordered the suppression of workers at that time, finally slowly emerged. It was only then that it was revealed that Hong Ziming, then the boss of a large state-owned enterprise, relied on the power at hand to launder a large amount of money.After completely destroying the entire enterprise, he brought a huge sum of money from corruption to Australia and lived a luxurious life like a fairy. However, his mother Xiao Aihong had already retired to the National People's Congress and was enjoying her leisurely life. Zaidi took up a sinecure. Thinking of this, Du Yan took a deep breath. He turned to look at Chu Yilan across from him. Seeing her thoughtful and slightly melancholy eyes, Du Yan sighed slightly in his heart. Chu Yilan may be the so-called second generation who has a smooth career because of her strong background, but so far Du Yan has not seen any excessive behavior in her. Thinking of her secretary who is the organization minister of the provincial party committee, In Du Yan's mind, his elder brother Chu Yijun, who was also low-key, was obviously much better than Hong Ziming, who was known as the No. 1 tyrant in Shanghai. For Hong Ziming, there was no chance of contact with Du Yan in his previous life, but the various legends in the streets of Shanghai were enough to give people a general impression of this princeling in Shanghai. Unlike Xiao Aihong, Hong Ziming¡¯s father is not a government official, but the boss of a large state-owned enterprise in the north. What¡¯s interesting is that Secretary Xiao¡¯s ¡°virtuous foreign assistant¡± is really a good role model for his son. He not only eats, drinks, whores, and gambles He was good at this, and the most famous thing is that after he swept away billions of stolen money, he defected to the United States with a foster lover, which became one of the most sensational events in the entire 1990s! Du Yan couldn't help but feel a burst of unspeakable disgust when he thought of these things. Chu Yilan may be a son of an official who doesn't know the sufferings of the world, but at least until now, he has not become like Xiao Aihong's family, who relies on power to cling to the people. From this point of view, Du Yan felt that Chu Yilan was cute. With this thought in his mind, Du Yan couldn't help but look at Chu Yilan again, but when he saw that she was also looking at him, he nodded slightly, but what he saw in Chu Yilan's eyes was a trace of pity. Chu Yilan did feel pity for Du Yan. She didn't expect that Du Yan would come forward when no one was willing to help her. This made her slightly touched while being surprised, but she also knew that Du Yan was undoubtedly doing this for herself. Caused big trouble. Chu Yilan, who is very familiar with Hong Ziming's character, knows that with Hong Ziming's narrow-mindedness, it is impossible to let go of anyone who is his enemy. Speaking of which, if it weren't for her father, although he has retreated to the second line, he still has some influence. , Chu Yilan even believed that Hong Ziming might have already taken action against her. "Thank you." Chu Yilan finally said in a low voice. She knew that the people sitting in the back should be staring at her at this time. Talking to Du Yan like this might cause some kind of rumors, but she felt that Since Du Yan helped him, he had to remind him, "You'd better go back to Taihua as soon as possible. Hong Ziming is a petty person, and he might cause trouble for you one day." "What about you? Aren't you afraid that Hong Ziming will cause trouble for you?" Du Yan After asking, seeing Chu Yilan slightly biting her lip and turning away, Du Yan shook his head, "Besides, I didn't make any mistakes, what can he do to me?" "Why are you so ungrateful?" Chu Yi Lan looked at Du Yan with some annoyance. She didn't know how to tell Du Yan what Hong Ziming had done, but at the same time, she also wondered how Du Yan dared to offend Hong Ziming when he knew that he was Xiao Aihong's son. "Do you know that Fan He will definitely find a way to take revenge on those who offend him? " How could I not know? Du Yan secretly said in his heart that he remembered some legends about Hong Ziming after the incident about that family was exposed in later generations. Although many of them were inevitably fabricated, he believed that most of them were true, including the fact that there had been Once, just because a traffic policeman stopped Hong Ziming's car, he and his companions were beaten up in the street and even left disabled. Maybe in front of Chu Yilan, Hong Ziming could still maintain a little grace in order to win the heart of the beauty, but at other times, this second generation ancestor who relied on his domineering mother's character and lecherous father's genes was definitely a person who was both disgusted and feared. Terrible person. "Don't delay after you get to the station, buy a ticket and go back immediately. I will talk to Mayor Kuang." Chu Yilan whispered, whether it was because Du Yan knew her brother or because he had just helped her, Chu Yilan Lan felt that she couldn't just ignore Du Yan. Du Yan looked at Chu Yilan in surprise. He didn't expect that Chu Yilan was a person who would repay his kindness, but he didn't want to just leave because just now he suddenly remembered what happened in his previous life. The incident seemed to have happened at this time of the year, because among the secrets revealed by later generations, he remembered that Xiao Aihong once said viciously when justifying her behavior: "In order to ensure the smooth progress of the Spring Festival and reduce the adverse effects, Our armed police and public security personnel must dare to take action against those unruly people who gather to make trouble, and they must dare to shoot when necessary!" Thinking of this, Du Yan closed his eyes slightly, he didn't want Chu Yilan to let himself go.There were emotions in his eyes, but at this time his heart was churning. Xiao Aihong finally had a happy death, even though her husband fled with a huge sum of money, even though her son, after inheriting the large state-owned enterprise in the family style, eventually misappropriated a large amount of assets and caused the large state-owned enterprise to go bankrupt, and tens of thousands of people lost their lives. Although Hong Ziming had lost his livelihood, he used the huge amounts of embezzled stolen money to build a huge mansion in Australia and lived a luxurious life. However, Xiao Aihong still retired peacefully with a provincial and ministerial level treatment. What is the reason for all this? Just because she has power? "Don't worry, I'll be fine," Du Yan smiled at Chu Yilan, "After all, Shencheng is not the world of Mr. Hong." "Why don't you know how powerful you are?" Chu Yilan was a little anxious. , she didn't expect this little gangster to be so stubborn. Although she didn't like him at all, Chu Yilan still didn't want him to suffer misfortune because of her own reasons. "Who do you think you are? Do you know how powerful their family is?" Look Seeing Chu Yilan's anxious look, Du Yan was about to speak. At this moment, Mao Jihai, who was sitting behind and accompanying Lao Kuang, wandered over, pointed to the front and said, "We are here." Du Yan shut his mouth. He showed a smile towards Chu Yilan. At this time, he had already thought about how to deal with the arrogant Young Master Hong. As early as when he spoke out to save Chu Yilan at the station, he had already had a vague idea in his mind, but he couldn't explain it clearly at the time. But along the way, he had figured out the context, but he didn't need to tell Chu Yilan all this. Taihua Hotel is a small three-star hotel. Now, in addition to reserving some rooms above the fifth floor as rooms for the hotel, other parts of the hotel have contracted the business of the hotel on a self-financing basis. Gave it to Mao Jihai. Just looking at the prosperity of this hotel, and thinking about the contracting fees that Mao Jihai paid to the city every year, you can understand why Mao Jihai refused to leave the three-acre land where he was stationed in the city. The Taihua cadres who got off the minibus were obviously more alienated from Du Yan. If they were alienated from him before because he couldn't eat enough in Taihua, now after seeing Mao Jihai's description along the way, they already knew what Du Yan had just offended. What kind of person is Mr. Hong? He even dares not associate with Du Yan. This alienation soon manifested itself in the room allocation. When two people were assigned to a room, no one wanted to share it with Du Yan. This was a big advantage. Du Yan lived alone in a large room and received the same treatment. Lao Kuang is quite satisfied. Chu Yilan was worried and simply tidied up before leaving the room. Although she loved to be clean, she had no choice. As the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee and the deputy leader of the negotiation group who was responsible for reception work, she had to stand up to the occasion. . What's more, the fact that she met Hong Ziming as soon as she got off the car made her always uneasy. Chu Yilan knew that Hong Ziming, who looked gentle but was actually ruthless, would never give up. Thinking of this, she left the room. Just when she walked to the elevator to go down to the lobby, she saw Du Yan coming out of her room. walked out. Just when she saw Du Yan was about to speak, Chu Yilan suddenly saw a police car speeding into the hotel parking lot from the French window next to her. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Fear of Heights Chu Yilan's heart skipped a beat when she saw the police car driving into the parking lot. She made a waiting gesture to Du Yan and walked to the front desk of the floor to pick up the phone. As soon as she picked up the phone and dialed the number, she heard a burst of chaotic sounds on the phone and bursts of questions mixed with the local accent of Shanghai. Chu Yilan immediately put down the phone. She tilted her head and looked at Du Yan, who was standing at the door of her room, and then looked at the floor numbers that were climbing up on top of the elevator door. After a moment of hesitation, she walked a few steps quickly without saying anything. He said, pulling Du Yan up and walking upstairs along the emergency passage. "Secretary-General Chu, what's the matter?" Although Du Yan vaguely guessed something, he still asked. "Don't talk too much, just follow me!" Chu Yilan said in a muffled voice as she walked. The seventh floor is where the office is located, and of course there are several larger high-end rooms, which are the so-called presidential suites specially used to receive distinguished guests. Lao Kuang lives in one of the rooms, but Chu Yilan knows that Lao Kuang has already After saying hello, I wanted to take a rest, so after going upstairs, except for a waiter at the front desk on the floor, the entire corridor was quiet. Seeing someone, Chu Yilan let go of Du Yan's hand. She didn't say anything, just glanced at the waiter seriously, and said coldly: "Give me the key to room 702." The waiter immediately He took out the key with fear, because Chu Yilan was the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee in charge of reception, so Mao Jihai had already told the entire station to be careful with this young and beautiful female secretary-general, and to serve her well, after all, she would offend him. If you offend other leaders in the city, you may still have room for maneuver, but if you offend your immediate boss, the position of Director of the Office of Bidding may not be secure. After all, there are too many people eyeing this piece of fat. Chu Yilan took Du Yan to the door of Qi Ling Er's room, opened the door with the key and walked in. This is a room with a living room and a bedroom of about 20 square meters. Although the place is not large, the decoration is quite luxurious. What is rare is that there is a small bar filled with various liquors in the corner of the room. There is also a set of speakers against the wall that looks quite trendy. Du Yan knew that these things should have come from Hong Kong. When he saw Chu Yilan walking into the room, he sat on the sofa in silence. Du Yan didn't say anything and sat silently on the sofa opposite her. Chu Yilan's expression was not very good. Although she had guessed that Hong Ziming would not give up, she never expected that he would have people come to her door just as people like her arrived to apply for the residency, and even the police. This made Chu Yilan While I felt that he was overbearing, I felt even more terrified. Chu Yilan tilted her head and looked at Du Yan. She had already heard something about Du Yan from Chu Yijun, the secretary of her brother Liang Benchu, the Organization Minister of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee. Chu Yijun was obviously going to Pingling because of his sister. Zhi Zhi was a little worried. He not only mentioned that Liang Benchu ??seemed to have a good impression of Du Yan, but also reminded his sister that Du Yan seemed to have some unclear relationship with the Song family. Chu Yilan still remembers that her brother said worriedly on the phone: "Little sister, Pingling is more complicated. Now it seems that many people are making trouble behind the scenes through some trivial matters in Pingling. Maybe it will be too soon." There will be big changes there. And you'd better not have any conflicts with Du Yan after you go down. This person's background is too complicated and involves too many things. Before the situation is clear, it's best not to get close to him or get close to him. "Indifferent." After saying this, Chu Yijun seemed a little worried, and said in a more serious tone: "This is what dad meant." Chu Yilan was very surprised when she heard her brother's words. She knew Chu Yilan. Yijun would never be so bored as to use his father's name to lie to her, so this can only mean one thing. The new district director of this small district and county in front of him has actually attracted the attention of a person of his father's level. . Chu Yilan really doesn¡¯t understand the connection here. Although Chu Yijun mentioned that people from the Song family in the capital seem to be paying close attention to this young man, this should not make her brother say such vague words. Thinking of the Song family, Chu Yilan couldn't help but think of what her father, Chu Guangchen, director of the Hexi Provincial People's Congress, said to her when she returned home. Chu Yilan not only respects her father, but also has a hint of admiration. In her memory, her father has never hesitated for anything, whether he was the deputy secretary of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee in the past few years, or he later retired to the second line and entered the Provincial People's Congress. As the director of the National People's Congress, her father's character is so calm and down-to-earth. Because of this, Chu Yilan believes that her father will never make unfounded alarmism. "Xiaolan, after you go down, don't talk casually, let alone take sides easily. You have to remember that Pingling is not only the starting point for your first formal contact with the grassroots, but it may also become the step for you to reach another level. "At that time, Chu Guangchen looked at his daughter lovingly, "You have to understand one thing.Pingling in ?? has unknowingly become the source of the struggle between the two ideological trends. It is actually very risky for me to put you down at this time. But I believe that with your understanding and ability, you can distinguish the severity. It's a pity, Yichen is Liang Benchu's secretary now. It would be too sensitive to put it down at this time, otherwise I would really like to let you two get involved" "What is involved? Chu Yilan, who is familiar with her father's character, knows that since Her father didn't explain, so she couldn't find out. But what surprised her was that just when she thought her father had nothing to say, Chu Guangchen suddenly said casually: "I don't want to go to Pingling." I'm too close to the guy named Du Yan, so I still can't see some things clearly. " It was this sentence that kept Chu Yilan lingering in her mind even after getting on the train. What she didn't understand was that if her brother heard that Liang Benchu, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, favored Du Yan, If you still value him, how could a provincial-level father value this little new district director so much that he would even give special orders to his daughter? Chu Yilan couldn't help but ask Du again when she thought about it. Yan took a look, and this time he met Du Yan's eyes. Although Chu Yilan didn't say anything, Du Yan had already vaguely guessed what might happen from the way she suddenly brought him to the seventh floor. Although he didn't know Hong Ziming as well as Chu Yilan, he was quite familiar with the actions of this yamen from the various rumors exposed in later generations. Speaking of Hong Ziming, he had heard of something that no one could tell the source of. Rumor has it that Hong Ziming is not actually the son of Hong Xuelia, the current boss of Northeastern Beigang Group, but the illegitimate son of Xiao Aihong and a certain central boss. It was just that after the pregnancy, in order to cover up the boss, he hurriedly let his little lover Married to his secretary Hong Xuelia. However, although Hong Xuelia became a cheap man who wanted to be a father, the boss did not treat this successor who was comparable to Lei Feng badly. A few years after he was released, Hong Xuelia He seems to have become the provincial and ministerial-level boss of the famous Beigang Group. But such gossip has no origin, so it is just a gossip in the market. But now that I think about it, no matter who the son of Hong Ziming is, he is so arrogant and domineering. Even his wanton character is obviously inherited from his mother, Xiao Aihong. ¡°Is someone looking for trouble for me? Du Yan smiled at Chu Yilan, "Is it that Young Master Ming?" " "You are not stupid," Chu Yilan snorted slightly. In fact, in her mind, there is no difference between Du Yan and Hong Ziming. The only difference is that Du Yan does not have as much power as Hong Ziming, but both of them are obviously the same. The kind of hooligan she hates very much: "You have offended Hong Ziming. It seems that you will not be able to participate in this spring fair. I will have someone buy you a ticket back in a while. Hurry up and leave Shanghai, a place of right and wrong." " Looking at Chu Yilan's slightly melancholy expression, Du Yan leaned back on the sofa. He looked at Chu Yilan seriously. "I have to admit that Chu Yilan is a beautiful and messy woman. Maybe it's because she doesn't have Because of her marriage, her figure is not as plump as that of a mature woman, but is more upright and pretty. However, these are all concealed by her lean and overly dignified appearance. Sometimes, when watching her unconsciously holding her chin with her slender fingers, she could vaguely see another expression hidden behind that majestic dignity. In Du Yan's impression, Chu Yilan seemed to have never worn a suit. The color of her clothes is always plain. Although she is not too exaggerated in standard black, she always has a coldness that makes people dare not get close to her. But her coldness is different from Qiao Luowei's. Different, if Chu Yilan is more indifferent because of her status and profession, then Qiao Luowei seems to be born with a kind of coldness that does not allow strangers to enter, which is a kind of coldness that has been with her. The aura of the body being completely integrated. Sometimes Du Yan even wondered if Qiao Luowei and Song Jia Lai were like this when they were together. If so, how could Song Jia Lai endure it? Du Yan looked at her face and background, and Chu Yilan was slightly annoyed. She had heard that this little gangster was quite good at running the economy. Even a year after he was transferred, he was able to rely on the money he left behind. It was a bit pitiful to keep the new district running, but when she thought about how every time she saw this kid, he was either reading pornographic magazines or hanging out with women. Later, he even dared to peek at her. Chu Yilan felt that this little gangster was really It¡¯s annoying. ¡°Secretary-general Chu, you want me to know Pingling? " Seeing that Chu Yilan seemed a little angry, Du Yan smiled slightly. He knew that Chu Yilan hated him. Although he wanted to let him go because he wanted to avoid Hong Ziming's kindness, he didn't necessarily take the opportunity to get rid of him. He didn't want to see him. Wei Jing means "But my work is not finished yet, let alone"The Spring Fair was arranged by the city. I just came here and went back without doing anything. I couldn't explain it to the city. " Seeing that Du Yan didn't seem to be worried at all, Chu Yilan couldn't help but feel resentful. She was quite familiar with Hong Ziming's domineering character. She knew that Hong Ziming had always repaid those who had offended him. If Du Yan couldn't let Du Yan Leave as soon as possible, as long as he is found, it will definitely be a big trouble. The previous words of her father and brother made Chu Yilan feel worried. When she thought of her brother's instructions and her father's hints, she felt that things were really troublesome. There was a vague noise coming from outside the door, and the two people sitting in the chairs couldn't help but be startled. Chu Yilan walked to the door and looked out through the door mirror, only to find that several policemen had just climbed up to the seventh floor and were heading toward the man. The front desk clerk asked what. Chu Yilan couldn't help but feel shocked. She knew that the waiter couldn't cover up for them. As long as the police asked a few more questions, Chu Yilan might have told them their whereabouts. Hong Ziming called Du Yan to trouble him and went back when Du Yan didn't want to do anything anymore. But it seemed that was not the case now. Judging from the attitude of the policemen, Hong Ziming really wanted to teach the man who ruined him a lesson this time. What a good guy. After a moment of thought, Chu Yilan turned around and gestured to Du Yan. Before she could say anything, she led Du Yan towards the bedroom. To Du Yan's surprise, he found the opposite side of the bedroom after entering. There was also a small door. Chu Yilan used the key to open the small door and led Du Yan through the bedroom, only to see an iron staircase spiraling downstairs between the room and the large glass curtain wall. Go. Du Yan has heard that this three-star hotel was a guest house for a local company in Shencheng in the early years. He thought that this iron escalator should be the evacuation passage that was often hung outside the building in guest houses in the past. It was just renovated. At that time, even the escalator was wrapped inside the glass curtain wall. Chu Yilan looked at the spiraling iron escalator and thought for a moment. At this moment, a fierce knock on the door sounded outside! After hesitating, he decided to go down first. Du Yan immediately closed the door that looked familiar to him, but before closing the door, he twisted it hard and broke the key that was still inserted in the keyhole. Du Yan followed. Chu Yilan walked down behind her. Perhaps because she was wearing high heels, Chu Yilan seemed a little slow walking on the iron stairs. Looking at her trembling look, Du Yan felt a little anxious, but he couldn't rush her. It was only when he reached the corner that he was surprised to find that Chu Yilan's face turned pale and her breathing was very rapid. This thought flashed through Du Yan's mind, and he immediately took a few steps to catch up. Go to Chu Yilan "Secretary-general Chu, I should go in front. "As Du Yan said this, he walked past Chu Yilan, who had just stepped away from the stairs, and walked to the front. Looking at the back of Du Yan, who was walking a few steps ahead of him, Chu Yilan breathed a sigh of relief. She indeed had She has a severe fear of heights. When she came down from the top, her hands and feet were already a little numb. Although she didn't know if Du Yan took the initiative to walk in front because of discovering her problem, she was secretly grateful at this time. This little gangster, otherwise she would have walked down the stairs and looked at the sky. She really didn't know if her feet would be weak and she would sit on the ground for a moment. Chu Yilan just breathed a sigh of relief when the door leading to the bedroom above suddenly made a violent sound. Startled by the sudden sound, Chu Yilan couldn't help but panic, and her high heels twisted on the iron stairs! With a scream, Chu Yilan couldn't help but threw herself forward, and her body hit Du Yan's back. Someone just rolled down the stairs! Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Military Region Compound Suddenly Chu Yilan was pressed from behind and hit Du Yan on his back. He couldn't help but crawl forward. The huge impact made him unable to stand still and he rolled down the stairs! When his body rolled down, Du Yan felt the sharp pain of his back hitting the edge of the iron ladder. But when he turned around for the first time, he instinctively stretched out his hands and hugged the man who was pressing on him. Chu Yilan. With a "bang", Du Yan felt as if his back was hit by a hammer. The huge impact left him breathless and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. At the same time, Chu Yilan's body was pressed hard. Coming down, the collision caused by the front and rear flanking made Du Yan finally cry out in pain, "Oh my God!" But this was not the worst. What was worse was that due to inertia, the two people who had already fallen on the turning platform His body couldn't help but slide towards the outside of the railing with a huge gap! Du Yan immediately stretched out his hand to grab. When his upper body was almost sliding off the platform, his right hand grabbed a pillar at hand. But as soon as he grabbed it, his body couldn't help swinging to the left. Du Yan immediately stretched out his leg and used his left hand. The ankles stretched hard towards the pillar next to them. As their ankles hit the pillar, there was a sharp pain in the bones. The momentum of the two people's sliding outside finally stopped! "Secretary-General Chu, get up!" Du Yan urged loudly despite the pain. There was a person pressing on him, and half of his body was still hanging outside. Du Yan felt a tightness in his chest, and there was something dark in front of his eyes. . "I, I can't move, I dare not move." Chu Yilan hugged Du Yan tightly as if she was about to cry but refused to let go. Because she was face down, she couldn't help but see the ground below from Du Yan's shoulder. I felt dizzy for a while, and my hands involuntarily hugged Du Yan's neck tightly, "I really can't move!" Listening to the violent slamming of the door in the room above, and then listening to Chu Yilan's frightened scream in my ears, Du Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Shut up! Stupid woman, do you want to kill us two?" "No, but I can't move!" At this time, Chu Yilan no longer had the usual deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. She looked dignified and cold, but she looked like a frightened woman. "Close your eyes, don't look at anything, and step back!" Du Yan felt that his back was not only painful but even numb, and his body, which was only supported by his waist strength, could no longer support it at this time. After hearing Du Yan's words, Chu Yilan immediately closed her eyes tightly. She groped and lay on Du Yan's body and retreated downwards. Because her eyes were closed, she couldn't even tell where her hand touched until she pressed Du Yan's hand. When Yan stood up with force, she heard a slightly painful groan from Du Yan. She opened her eyes and saw that her hand was pressing on a certain part of Du Yan's belly. "Pull me up quickly." Du Yan shouted to Chu Yilan, who was in a daze. He really didn't expect that the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee who usually looked so calm would cause such a big trouble because of his fear of heights. "I can't hold on anymore." Stop!" Upon hearing Du Yan's reminder, Chu Yilan immediately hurriedly pulled Du Yan into the railing! Du Yan stood up and didn't care about anything else. He grabbed Chu Yilan and ran down the stairs. Maybe it was because he was frightened just now. Chu Yilan didn't know why he ran with Du Yan all the way down. Going down such a high staircase. The predecessor of the Taihua Office was an old guest house. The iron staircase on the side of the building was originally used for emergency evacuation. Since it was taken over by the Office of the Office, it has been greatly renovated. The person in charge of the decoration at that time was Chu Yilan. Due to the hint of a certain municipal party committee leader at the time, this staircase was not only preserved during the exterior wall decoration, but the door leading to the staircase in the bedroom was not blocked, and there was a door under the staircase that could be opened from the inside. A small door leading to the hotel's backyard. Chu Yilan never expected that this was originally a convenience reserved for leaders who might have special needs, but it would be an advantage for Du Yan and herself today. Just when they came out of the small door and passed by the backyard After arriving on the street, Chu Yilan hesitated a little. But looking at the wrinkled clothes of the two people, Chu Yilan also knew that she must not let others see their current appearance at this time. After thinking for a while, Chu Yilan reached out towards the roadside, stopped a taxi, opened the door and got in, while gesturing to Du Yan to follow. "Go to the provincial military compound." After Chu Yilan finished speaking, she glanced at Du Yan next to her, with a strange look in her eyes. The taxi was driving on the street, and neither of the two people spoke, each thinking about their own thoughts. When the car passed a turning intersection, Chu Yilan heard the car rotating as the car body moved to the side, and Du Yan touched the car door. Letting out a low moan. Chu Yilan turned around and saw the pained look on Du Yan's face, which reminded her of the injury Du Yan suffered on the stairs. "What's wrong?" Chu Yilan asked, remembering?When Du Yan turned around before falling down the stairs, he hugged himself so that he would not be injured. Chu Yilan's impression of Du Yan changed slightly for a while. "It's nothing, I might have twisted it when I was grabbing the railing just now." Although Du Yan said it easily, Chu Yilan could see the cold sweat on his head clearly. In fact, at this time, Du Yan only felt that his whole arm was not only in excruciating pain, but also his chest felt indescribably tight after taking a breath. He knew that he might not only have sprained his arm, but might have hurt his chest when Chu Yilan fell down and hit him. In his previous life, Du Yan, who was not originally interested in martial arts, dabbled in knowledge in this area because of his encounter with Han Bing. And because of Han Bing, he did have some understanding of Chinese medicine. Unlike some fierce opponents in later generations, although Du Yan also believed that the mythical legends about the Chinese quintessence of martial arts and traditional Chinese medicine were a bit far-fetched, he did not blindly oppose it. Instead, he believed that there were still many Chinese quintessences worth learning from and even carrying forward. strengths. Because he had read some books on traditional Chinese medicine and massage, Du Yan knew that Chu Yilan might have suffered some internal injuries from the collision just now. At least now, the tightness and discomfort in his chest made him feel that his breathing was gradually tightening. "Master, can you drive faster?" Seeing the faint pain on Du Yan's face, Chu Yilan said anxiously to the driver in the front seat. "The bad guys on the street are very bad. It's hard to drive fast." The driver said in a long voice in typical southern Mandarin. At the same time, he kept looking at Du Yan sitting in the back through the rearview mirror. "Your husband." Did your friend drink too much? Don't throw up in my car. It's going to be very troublesome." "No, he didn't drink." Chu Yilan frowned slightly before replying. She leaned against the car seat. Du Yan was panting, and for a moment he didn't know what he was feeling. Chu Yilan never thought that Du Yan would help her. Although he just helped her get rid of Hong Ziming's entanglement at the station, it also brought him a lot of trouble. Based on Chu Yilan's understanding of Hong Ziming , it was impossible to let Du Yan go so easily, so she was anxious to get Du Yan to leave Shencheng and return to Taihua as soon as possible. But who would have thought that Hong Ziming would rush people to cause trouble for Du Yan as soon as he left? What's more unexpected is that it would end up like this. Seeing Du Yan with his eyes closed and looking in pain, Chu Yilan was secretly worried. Although she didn't know how injured Du Yan was, she could tell from the beads of sweat on his face that he was definitely not Pretend. "Du" Du what? It's too offensive to call Director Du, after all, he got into trouble for himself. Calling him Xiao Du made him appear to be a superior leader, calling him Du Yan did not mean that there was any friendship between the two of them, so after hesitating, Chu Yilan skipped the title and continued, "Thank you for helping me before." Du Yan shook his head slightly with some difficulty, At this time, he felt that Chu Yilan seemed a bit nagging. Not only Chu Yilan, but also the sound of the car engine that made noise from time to time seemed so noisy. At this time, he just wanted to have a place to lie down and let the feeling he was holding in his heart go. Slow down your tone. Du Yan, who was swaying and feeling dizzy due to the tightness in his chest, seemed to hear someone talking, and then he felt his body tighten and he was being helped out of the taxi. Du Yan slowly took a breath and opened his eyes, and saw that he was standing in front of a two-story foreign-style building. In front of him, Chu Yilan was standing with a young woman who looked slightly older than her, supporting him next to her. , is a young soldier. "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry to trouble you." Chu Yilan held the young woman's hand and spoke. The smile on her face seemed to be quite rare for Du Yan. If you think about it carefully, in Du Yan's memory, Chu Yilan The deputy secretary-general showed fewer smiles than Qiao Luowei. "I heard you were coming a few days ago. Your brother Sheng warned me several times. I didn't expect you to come so soon. Why didn't you call me in advance?" The young woman said enthusiastically, just talking to Chu Yilan spoke, but her eyes glanced at Du Yan from time to time. Chu Yilan saw that the sister-in-law had obviously misunderstood her relationship with Du Yan, but she couldn't explain clearly at this time. She could only say slightly vaguely: "Sister-in-law, this is my colleague Du Yan. He He feels a little uncomfortable. Could you please ask a doctor to take a look at him first? " The young woman, who originally thought like the taxi driver that Du Yan had drunk too much, couldn't help but be stunned. Then she saw the vague look of pain on Du Yan's face. Instructing the soldier to help Du Yan into the room first, he pulled Chu Yilan a few steps away and walked to the side, asking in a low voice: "What's going on, Xiaolan?" Chu Yilan sighed softly, although it was early Before coming to Shanghai, she had thought that she might encounter Hong Ziming's entanglement, but she never expected that things would develop to this point. ¡°?Sister-in-law, we¡¯ll talk about this later. My colleague was injured while helping me. It¡¯s best to see a doctor quickly. I¡¯m afraid it will be delayed if it takes too long. "No problem. It's not convenient for us to go in first. I'll call the hospital clinic right now." "The young woman saw that Chu Yilan seemed a little anxious, so she comforted her softly while pulling her into the small building. After Du Yan was helped to the living room and sat on a chair, he felt that his chest started to feel like fire. He had a fever, and he knew that it was caused by poor breathing, but as soon as he took a hard breath, the swollen pain immediately filled his chest. Du Yan gritted his teeth secretly. I didn't expect that when I attended the Spring Fair this time, I got out of the car and had a conflict with Hong Ziming, the second generation ancestor. Looking back, I thought that maybe it was because I saw Chu Yilan's beautiful buttocks that I encountered this kind of thing. Du Yan Ye could only think with a wry smile, this is really a quick way to pay off the June debt. After entering the living room, the young woman walked to a table by the wall and picked it up. Taking this opportunity, Chu Yilan whispered to her. Du Yan, who was sitting in the chair, said: "This is the home of Commander Teng of the Eastern Guangdong Province Military Region. This is Commander Teng's daughter-in-law. Please be careful when you speak. " Just as she was talking, the young woman had finished the phone call. She returned to the sofa and sat down with Chu Yilan. Then she asked softly: "Xiaolan, what is going on? Why did your colleague get injured while helping you? Already? " Chu Yilan sighed helplessly. She first glanced at Du Yan, who was sitting opposite, and then briefly told what happened before. " Is it that boy Hong Ziming again? "The young woman curled her lips slightly, "Speaking of which, even though we live in the military compound, we have heard too much about that kid. This kid is doing all kinds of things in Shen City with his fucking power. I heard that he was doing nothing before. One day, because a traffic policeman stopped his car and he lost face, he and several friends broke the traffic policeman's lumbar spine in the street, and later took off his police uniform. A good young man was ruined like this. " Hearing the young woman's words, Chu Yilan couldn't help but show a hint of uneasiness on her face. She glanced at Du Yan worriedly. Thinking that Du Yan had embarrassed Hong Ziming for herself, she couldn't help but worry even more. Just as she was talking, there was a sound coming from outside. The sound of speaking was heard, and then the soldier came in with two doctors wearing military uniforms and white coats. The health room of the Provincial Military Region Courtyard was obviously very efficient. After a brief diagnosis, the military doctor came to the hospital from another hospital. The young woman who came out of the room and Chu Yilan smiled and said: "It doesn't seem to be a big problem now. The heavy impact on the chest may have caused a small-scale lung diaphragm injury. In addition, the shoulder suffered some injuries, probably due to bone strain. Generally speaking, traumatic dislocation is not serious and it should be fine after a few days of hospitalization. " After seeing the doctor off, Chu Yilan couldn't help but look at Du Yan with a little embarrassment. Because she was too urgent before and brought Du Yan here without thinking carefully, but now it seems that she doesn't know what to do next. "Xiaolan, why don't we send your colleague to the military hospital first so that he can recover from his injuries and secondly, it will be quiet there. "The young woman reminded softly. Chu Yilan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this suggestive reminder. She knew it was reminding her that the Provincial Military Region Hospital was relatively remote. Although Hong Ziming had good hands and eyes, he shouldn't be able to find it for a while. There. Chu Yilan nodded slightly. As a deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, she could clearly judge the situation once she calmed down. Thinking of the need for treatment or to avoid the demon king Hong Ziming, Du Yan obviously couldn't. Returning to the Office of Residency, she nodded simply: "Sister-in-law, I'll trouble you to make arrangements. " "It's no trouble, as long as you come here often," the young woman said with a smile. Du Yan, who was about to stand up and turned around, said, "I can't tell that you are very generous at such a young age. You know how powerful that kid Hong Ziming is. You dare to provoke him. Tell me, are you attracted to our Xiaolan and want to fight for her love? " Hearing this magical question, Chu Yilan couldn't help but screamed "Ah", and Du Yan, who had just stood up while holding on to the armrest of the chair, felt his feet soften and sat back in the chair. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Cold Reception "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about!" A blush suddenly appeared on Chu Yilan's face. She pulled the young woman back a few steps and whispered, "He and I are really just colleagues. He is the one below our Taihua." County leaders, we are here to participate in the Spring Fair this time. Don¡¯t get me wrong.¡± Seeing Chu Yilan¡¯s slightly shy but slightly frowned eyebrows, the young woman who was quite familiar with her was taken aback. , she could see that Chu Yilan was very serious, which made her a little curious. "You really don't have anything?" the young woman asked softly, "Then why did he help you so much and even get hurt for you?" "This is all a coincidence. It's entirely because Hong Ziming is too domineering. He actually asked the police to come and trouble us. " Chu Yilan briefly explained, but she simply said that Du Yancai was injured when they were hiding from the police, but did not mention the details that were both dangerous and easily misunderstood. "Oh, that's really rare." After hearing this, the young woman looked at Du Yan with a slightly lighter look, but there was a hint of admiration. "Not to mention, you know that Hong Ziming is not easy to mess with and you still dare to provoke him. You He is indeed a comrade with a sense of justice." "I just don't like him," Du Yan replied lightly, although the young woman was still quite approving but with a hint of official tone. He knew that the reason why the young woman spoke so politely to him before was just because she misunderstood her relationship with Chu Yilan. Now that she had made it clear, her attitude naturally became somewhat different. Chu Yilan glanced at Du Yan apologetically. Based on her understanding of young women, of course she understood that this sister-in-law was good at everything but a little snobbish. She liked to put on airs with those below her. Seeing her attitude towards Du Yan Change, Chu Yilan secretly gave Du Yan an apologetic look. Seeing Chu Yilan's expression, Du Yan just smiled indifferently. He knew that in the eyes of some people, they might look down upon others' bullying, or despise them, but it was their turn to face the inferior status. Although they are polite on the surface, in fact, their politeness is a kind of condescending arrogance or pity, but they know how to hide it better than the previous people. The reason why Du Yan helped Chu Yilan before was not entirely out of so-called righteous indignation. Although he had a good relationship with Chu Yijun, it was not to the point where he had to stand out. And Du Yan also knows that Chu Yilan is different from those ordinary civilians who were arbitrarily bullied and ravaged by Hong Ziming. Although her family background is not known so far, it can be seen just from the identities of herself and her brother Chu Yijun. We know that their family must have a deep background, otherwise no matter how capable the Chu family brothers and sisters are, it is unlikely that they will already be in the position of department-level cadres at a young age. "Secretary-General Chu, if there is nothing important, I'd better leave first. It's hard to explain to Mayor Kuang if I've been away for too long." Du Yan said. Chu Yilan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said to the young woman: "Sister-in-law, although Du Yan is not seriously injured, it is better to see a doctor as much as possible. In addition, Hong Ziming is looking for us. It is indeed a good idea to stay in the Provincial Military Region Hospital." "What do you think?" Seeing Chu Yilan's pleading look, the young woman hesitated for a moment. She originally thought the two were lovers, so she was quite polite to Du Yan. But knowing that he was just a colleague, he was already indifferent. Then he heard that Du Yan was a cadre in the county below. With the young woman's somewhat snobbish temperament, of course she no longer took Du Yan seriously. But after all, this person was helping Chu Yi. Lan Cai was in trouble and was injured, so naturally she couldn't take Chu Yilan's mood too seriously. "Well, let's go to the Provincial Military Region Hospital first," the young woman nodded and said to Chu Yilan, "Brother Sheng has been very busy recently, especially after the Chinese New Year. He was so busy that his feet didn't even touch the ground all day long, little kid. In the past month, apart from occasional phone calls, we haven¡¯t seen each other much at all, let alone the old man. I have seen the old man twice since the Chinese New Year.¡± As she spoke, she walked to the wall to make a phone call. At this opportunity, Chu Yilan turned around and showed an apologetic expression to Du Yan. Chu Yilan, who was quite familiar with the snobbishness of her sister-in-law, was a little worried that Du Yan would feel embarrassed. After all, Du Yan helped her and it was because she was injured. Now seeing Du Yan being treated coldly by this snobbish sister-in-law, she felt I can't help but feel a little sorry. But at this time, Du Yan didn't take what was happening in front of him seriously at all. He was completely attracted by the few words the young woman had just said unintentionally. Since the speech during the Southern Tour, the two major camps in the country that were originally formed over the question of whether to continue reform have become at war with each other. Whether in theoretical positions or in practical struggles, there is a strong showdown. If the old man had not set the final tone for reform and opening up, , maybe the country will go in another direction. It¡¯s just this so-called setting of a tone, but it¡¯s completely different from what ordinary people imagine: just walking around in the south and taking outThe spirit of this speech is so simple. What is hidden behind this inspection that determines the fate of the country is a contest that many people cannot imagine. In addition to countless political struggles, in the final analysis, what really makes a difference is not how great and upright it is. Political theory, but naked strength! Thinking of Chu Yilan's previous statement that the young woman's father-in-law was the commander of the Guangdong Province Military Region, and then hearing her mention that her father-in-law and her husband were very busy recently, Du Yan suddenly couldn't help but think of a secret he had heard in the early 1990s. ! As early as the early 1970s, after the deputy commander-in-chief was defeated in the Gobi Desert of neighboring northern countries, a large number of high-level and high-level cadres who had been defeated were rehabilitated one after another due to the sudden change in domestic political trends, and some of them were even able to regain their positions. Come back and go back to work. Among the many cadres who came back after bringing order to the chaos, there was the eldest brother of Teng Shigao, the commander of the Eastern Guangdong Province Military Region, a veteran general in the military who was quite prestigious both at the time and in later generations. Someone once said that the founder of the country defeated those veterans, but later acquiesced to the head of the Southern Patrol who returned to preside over the work of the State Council to rehabilitate them one by one. This may not be a self-inflicted evil trick in order to let the successors show favors, but at that time Many cadres are indeed grateful to the head of the Southern Patrol who rescued them from the bottom of the stranglehold. It is precisely because of this that although he came out to take charge of the work of the State Council not long ago, he was quickly suppressed again. However, after the founding leader passed away and with the end of the Cultural Revolution, the head of the Southern Inspection was amidst the calls of many veteran generals. Finally made a comeback and opened a new page in domestic politics. Among these senior military generals who strongly supported the head of the Southern Inspection Patrol, Teng Shigao was undoubtedly the most active one at that time. Because of this, Teng Shigao also received considerable attention after the head of the Southern Inspection Patrol came back. He not only served as commander of the military region, but also eventually entered the army. The Military Commission became a real military boss, and later became one of the top advisory members of the Central Advisory Committee. But this does not mean that Teng Shigao must always support the elderly on the Southern Tour. As the reform deepens, a group of veteran cadres began to question the direction of the reform, especially after experiencing the political storm in the late 1980s. , some veteran cadres, led by Teng Shigao, while sharply criticizing the reform, directly questioned whether the reform would become a tool that would lead to the collapse of the red regime. Du Yan, who had personally participated in the great debate not long ago, remembered that the "Truth" magazine with which he had argued and refuted each other on the theoretical front was the magazine used by some conservative bosses, led by Teng Shigao. As a theoretical mouthpiece in the public opinion circle, this "Truth" magazine is still going strong even after the new century, which shows how deep the background of the supporting force behind it is. But Du Yan also remembered very clearly that although Teng Shigao had a high reputation among conservatives and had considerable authority because he had held an important position in the military for a long time, the results were not very good. It was around this time that a major car smuggling case was uncovered in eastern Guangdong. As the case progressed, it turned out that a major case of collusion between government and businessmen, and joint smuggling between the military and civilians shocked the entire country, and directly shocked the upper echelons! Du Yan still remembers the secrets that were gradually exposed later, including the scenes of smuggled stolen cars that were intercepted using aerial photography. Looking at the almost invisible imported cars lined up at the port terminal, it was so exciting. The shocking scene is still unforgettable even after many years. What is really unbelievable is that the reason why such a huge car smuggling case occurred was because someone in the army was so bold as to use the power of the military to smuggle in the name of military exercises. According to some investigations, several times even directly A large landing craft was dispatched as a smuggling tool! The Eastern Guangdong Military Region became the hardest hit area for this huge car smuggling case. Many military officers were involved in it. As the investigation deepened, the spearhead of the investigation became more and more sharp, and even later it was vaguely pointed at Shen Shen at that time. Some high-level officials in the city's military district! As one of the only eight major military regions in the country, the Shencheng Military Region not only carries the defense of several countries bordering the south, but also, together with its brother military regions, is responsible for the perennial confrontation with the opposite side of the strait. This undoubtedly determines the importance of the Shencheng Military Region, and as Teng Shigao, who once served as the commander of the Shencheng Military Region, he has many old subordinates who follow him here. In Du Yan's memory, this huge car smuggling case involved a member of Teng Shigao's family in the Shencheng Military Region, which ultimately led to Teng Shigao's passivity. It was precisely because of this as an introduction that he gradually became the head of the Southern Patrol. A small opportunity to take back the military power of Shencheng. Subsequently, the old man of Southern Patrol implemented the long-planned plan, that is, in the second half of 1992, he disbanded the Central Consulting Group, which had only served two terms.?! Now, after hearing the conversation between Chu Yilan and the young woman, and thinking that Chu Yilan mentioned that the owner of the family was the commander of the Eastern Guangdong Province Military Region, and his surname was Teng, Du Yan was absolutely certain that this person should be Teng Shigao's younger brother. Teng Shiyuan was the culprit who ultimately caused Teng Shigao to sadly leave the core of power. Du Yan's forehead was slightly swollen. He knew that the so-called work of Teng Shiyuan and his son at this time was probably to resell smuggled imported cars under the cover of military exercises. In Du Yan's memory, it was precisely because of their audacity that they It was so unscrupulous that the incident finally came to light. Don¡¯t stay in the land of right and wrong for long! Thinking of Du Yan's deliberately unhappy look on his face, he shook his head firmly at Chu Yilan who was looking over, then gritted his teeth and stood up. "Forget it, Secretary-General Chu, it's not a big problem. Just go back and apply some bone-setting water and apply a hot towel on it. Besides, Hong Ziming can't be unreasonable no matter how arrogant he is. Don't forget that I'm not a little traffic policeman." After saying that, he deliberately glanced sideways at the young woman next to him, then picked up the clothes on the sofa and walked out the door. "Du Yan, what are you doing?" Chu Yilan caught up with Du Yan and stood in front of him. She looked at Du Yan strangely. Although Du Yan's previous actions really annoyed her, after Chu Yilan's view of Du Yan has changed because of standing up for her before and then still protecting her body with both hands when she fell down the stairs. Regardless of her body leaving, she naturally felt anxious in her heart, and speaking of it, she felt really strange. Although Du Yan didn't give her a good feeling, and she could get to know him several times, Chu Yilan felt that Du Yan should He's not the kind of person who acts casually. "Why can't you stand a few words?" Chu Yilan asked in a low voice. "Besides, if Hong Ziming's people see you going out like this, wouldn't it be in trouble? It's not like you don't know who Hong Ziming is. You really Do you think you can deal with him as a deputy director? Don't forget that he is the deputy secretary of the Shencheng City Party Committee, a senior cadre at the deputy ministerial level. " Seeing Chu Yilan's anxious look, Du Yan felt vaguely at this moment. The formerly arrogant Deputy Secretary-General Chu was not a bad person. At least he had no intention of burning bridges. Moreover, when he thought of her brother Chu Yijun, who still had some friendship with him, Du Yan felt that he had to give her a hand no matter what. Don't let Chu Yilan get too close to the Teng family who are going to be in trouble. As for her not stopping listening, it's not under his control. "Secretary-General Chu, I have nothing to do. Since it's not convenient to be here, let's go." Du Yan deliberately glanced at the young woman who was looking at him with disdain. "Besides, Secretary-General Chu, speaking of it, although Hong Ziming Bastard, I don¡¯t dare to do anything to you after all. I think it¡¯s better for us to go back and solve the problem. Even if I return to Taihua as soon as possible, I can¡¯t let Mayor Kuang and the others misunderstand us.¡± After listening to Du Yan¡¯s words. , Chu Yilan was a little embarrassed. She also knew that she and Du Yan had run away from the Office of Residency in such an inexplicable way. Now the matter has obviously become a big deal, and the negotiation group may not know how it has spread at this time. If he can't go back and solve the problem as soon as possible, there may be bigger rumors in the future. Although he doesn't care, it is very bad after all. If the rumors spread to his father again, it will be really bad. "Xiaolan, since your colleague is leaving, let him go. I'll have someone drive him to the bus stop outside the compound." The young woman curled her lips and glanced at Du Yan, "We have a long history. We haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time. My old man has talked about Uncle Chu many times. Let¡¯s have a good talk. " Seeing Chu Yilan¡¯s embarrassed look, Du Yan sighed secretly. He felt that since he had done his best, it was okay. After all. I don¡¯t have that kind of friendship with Chu Yilan either. Thinking of this, he rejected the young woman's pretended courtesy to send a car, turned around and walked out the door. However, when he walked out of the room and went down the steps, he felt a tightness in his chest as he stepped and he couldn't help but let out a low moan. Seeing Du Yan slowly walking down the steps while holding on to the railing, Chu Yilan couldn't help feeling anxious. No matter what, Du Yan was injured because of her. When she thought that the provincial military compound was so far away from the city, And Du Yan's situation was so bad now, Chu Yilan finally hurriedly explained a few words to the young woman, grabbed her coat and ran out of the house. She saw Du Yan walking forward from a distance from behind, but it was obvious that he was enduring physical pain. This made Chu Yilan feel guilty. She took a few steps to catch up. Hesitantly reached out his hand to support Du Yan's arm. "You walk slower," Chu Yilan whispered. Seeing Du Yan's eyes looking over, she couldn't help but smile slightly, "I can't tell you have a bad temper." "People look down on us, so why should we be so shameless and condescending?" Du Yan took a breath,Even if there was no Teng Shiyuan smuggling case, Du Yan would not be angry with his daughter-in-law's snobbish attitude. Not to mention that he is now a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee at the deputy director level, but he is still a white man. It's the same thing. "Secretary-general Chu, do you know why I'm not afraid of Hong Ziming? Because I can't ask for him. It's said that you can be strong without desire, so what are you afraid of?" Hearing Du Yan's words, Chu Yilan's face blushed slightly. She knew that Du Yan was Hinting that she was compromising because Hong Ziming's mother, Xiao Aihong, was the deputy secretary of the Shenzhen Municipal Committee. Seeing Du Yan's eyes looking straight ahead, Chu Yilan sighed softly and said, "My father owed Hong Ziming's mother a lot in the past." It's a big favor, and he keeps pestering me because of this, but I can't fall out with him. " Du Yan glanced at Chu Yilan in surprise. He didn't expect that Chu Yilan would explain this to him, and he saw it in her eyes. There was a hint of melancholy, and Du Yan seemed to understand Chu Yilan's mood at this moment. As for Hong Ziming¡¯s mother, Xiao Aihong, Du Yan once saw her photos on the Internet in later generations. At that time, Xiao Aihong had retreated to the second line and lived a semi-reclusive life. Although she was old, she could still vaguely see the charm of her youth in the photos. It was hard to imagine that such a seemingly elegant woman could He was a man who clamored to fight and even shoot at the people. However, Du Yan also knows that many so-called great men who appear to be upright and majestic actually have what kind of darkness in their hearts. Not only outsiders, but even people who have been around him for a long time cannot understand, let alone a typical political figure like Xiao Aihong. bureaucracy? But thinking of this, Du Huan's heart suddenly moved. For a moment, he seemed to have caught something. He stopped and thought about it carefully. He didn't even notice Chu Yilan's worried expression, thinking that he was unwell. Du Yan remembered that there were rumors in later generations that the reason why Hong Ziming became the boss of Beigang, a large state-owned enterprise after his father fled abroad with money, had a lot to do with the rumors that he was the illegitimate son of Xiao Aihong and a certain central boss. relation. This is just like a certain private entrepreneur in later generations was rumored to be the grandson of a certain central boss, and for the sake of wealth, the entrepreneur actually found a cheap wife for his grandmother. Regarding Hong Ziming The rumors about his origin may not be true, but the reason why there are such rumors also shows that the relationship between Xiao Aihong and the central boss is not shallow. In fact, Xiao Aihong was so domineering in Shanghai, and became even more powerful after he was promoted to the Standing Committee of the East Guangdong Provincial Committee, and finally died a good death. He has an inseparable relationship with the central boss who is now in a prosperous position. . What worries Du Yan is the conflict between the two camps between the big boss and Teng Shigao. "Let's go back," Du Yan suddenly said to Chu Yilan, "go meet Mr. Hong." Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 27 Enemies meet on a narrow road In a rather secluded club in Shanghai, Hong Ziming looked at a fat middle-aged man in police uniform standing opposite with a gloomy expression. Next to him, two scantily clad women sat on the side without daring to make a sound. Hong Ziming is well-known for his bad temper. If he doesn't get his way, he will punch and kick people who don't like him. Moreover, he has always been ruthless and has no mercy even for women. Sometimes he will even torture him because of what he sees. The woman's painful look became even more severe. Although Hong Ziming didn't speak, the fat man standing in front of him looked at him with sweat on his forehead. He looked frightened. He had never been so nervous even when meeting his boss. "Mr. Ming, I really didn't expect this." The fat man reached out and took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his forehead. When he saw Hong Ziming staring at him, he immediately put the handkerchief away and said carefully, "I'm going to send it as you told me." Two people went to the Taihua Office to apply for trouble, who knew" "Who knew that those idiots you sent there messed up the matter, right?" Hong Ziming asked coldly, seeing that the fat man was a little worried. Nodding aggrievedly, Hong Ziming suddenly grabbed the wine glass on the table next to him and threw it at the fat man! With a "pop" sound, the wine glass hit the fat man's chest and then fell on the carpeted floor and rolled to the side. The bright red wine immediately flowed down the fat man's police uniform! "Are you a pig?! I told you to punish that kid quietly, but after your people left, you screamed loudly. Now that he is gone, what do you think you should do?" Hong Ziming scolded the fat man fiercely, "I told you Sun Fatty, I don¡¯t care whether that boy named Du lives or dies. If something happens to the girl from the Chu family, I will skin you!¡± ¡°Young Master Ming, don¡¯t worry, I will find them, definitely!¡± Fatty Sun couldn¡¯t help but nodded and said. As he sat there, he kept wiping the wet stains on his forehead that were either alcohol or sweat. Seeing that Hong Ziming's face was slightly better, he cautiously said, "Mr. Ming, I don't think things are necessarily difficult to handle. They have to go back to where they live. I'll have people keep an eye on them and I'll write to you as soon as I have any news. Don't worry, Mr. Ming. He's just a bumpkin from the mainland. Where else can he go in our city?" said the fat policeman. Nodding and bowing, "When you find him, send him directly to the detention center and let him live there until the end of the Spring Festival. You can rest assured." "Well, let's do it. If you find him, teach that kid a lesson." Hong Ziming said coldly. He looked at the fat policeman, "If you mess up things again, don't even think about becoming the branch chief, even the deputy chief." Hong Ziming glared at the embarrassed Fatty Sun in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that this kid was still somewhat useful, He couldn't be bothered with such a small role. As the son of the third-in-command of the Shencheng City Party Committee, Hong Ziming is even more arrogant than the son of the Shencheng City Party Committee Secretary. Although Shanghai is the provincial capital of eastern Guangdong and all the big guys from eastern Guangdong are in Shanghai, Hong Ziming has no scruples about his arrogance and domineering attitude. Looking at the deputy director of the branch who carefully exited, Hong Ziming curled his lips slightly. In Shencheng, Hong Ziming's words are sometimes more effective than those of some formal officials. Whether they are in the big or small offices or some of the lower-level officials, many people are proud to be on the line of Mr. Hong. This makes Hong Ziming There is a force that is definitely not weak in Shanghai. Hong Ziming picked up a cup from the table and poured the wine gently. Looking at the red wine, he thought of Chu Yilan's red lips. Speaking of which, Hong Ziming had played with many women, except for some large and small ones. Celebrities, even ladies from well-off official families, were not a problem for him, but Chu Yilan was the only one who made it difficult for him. But it was because he couldn't get it easily that Hong Ziming became more interested in Chu Yilan. It was precisely because of this that he felt indescribable disgust for the boy named Du Yan. Although it was already known that the bumpkin from the mainland who escaped from the police with Chu Yilan should have nothing to do with Chu Yilan, Hong Ziming still secretly made up his mind not to let the boy named Du go easily. As for that person being a deputy division cadre in Hexi, Hong Ziming didn't take it very seriously. The deputy director of the branch he just left was a serious and serious cadre at the department level. Wasn't he still a peacemaker in front of Mr. Hong? Are they similar to dogs? Hong Ziming raised the wine glass to his nose and sniffed it gently. He learned this from the foreigners living in Shanghai. It is said that this can make him appear more gentlemanly and petty bourgeois. Just when Hong Ziming was holding up his wine glass to take a sip of wine, there was a gentle knock on the door. A young man in his thirties walked in. This man was well-dressed and very clean, especially his meticulously combed and shiny hair, which gave people a smart and capable impression. Seeing this person, Hong Ziming frowned slightly.   "Ziming, you have a lot of time today." The young man came in and sat down opposite Hong Ziming casually. He saw the wine glass rolling on the floor and the wine on the carpet. Although he glanced at it, he didn't say anything. He picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured himself a glass. "Secretary Xiao asked me to bring you a message. Take a break for the past two days. After all, there are many people coming and going during the Spring Fair. Try to keep a low profile." When his mother was revealed, Hong Ziming's frown deepened. This person is Huo Xiaofeng, the secretary of Xiao Aihong, Hong Ziming¡¯s mother. Although Huo Xiaofeng is nothing in Shanghai, a place with surprisingly deep water, he has some real power because he won Xiao Aihong¡¯s new appointment. And because he is very good at getting things done, even Hong Ziming will not offend him easily. "Ziming, Secretary Xiao is very serious this time," Huo Xiaofeng leaned forward slightly and said sincerely, "There are some things you don't understand. The relationship between Secretary Xiao and the other side is very tense now. You should be more careful recently. After all, it wouldn¡¯t be good if the other side gets the handle.¡± Hong Ziming snorted. He knew that Huo Xiaofeng was very good at getting things done. Since he became his mother¡¯s secretary, he has been highly appreciated by Xiao Aihong for his lively eyes and quick thinking. But this is what makes Hong Ziming feel unhappy, because Hong Ziming has heard some gossip between some mothers and this pretty boy. "Secretary Lao Huo is worried. Please go back and tell my mother that I am an honest child now and will never cause trouble for her." Hong Ziming glanced at Huo Xiaofeng, but he knew that Huo Xiaofeng was not with his mother at this time, but When he came to the club, there must be other things to do, so after he finished speaking, he looked straight at Huo Xiaofeng, waiting for his next words. "Ziming, Secretary Xiao asked me to come this time for something else," Huo Xiaofen said with a smile, as if she couldn't see the slightly contemptuous look in Hong Ziming's eyes when he looked at him. "Secretary Xiao wants to be with you tonight." Eat, but she also knows that if she calls you, you will most likely not be willing to go back. I have no choice but to come and urge you to fight. Ziming, Secretary Xiao gave me a death order. Don't embarrass your brother. You have to let me go. Brother, I'll take care of it." Looking at Huo Xiaofeng's affectionate expression, Hong Ziming felt disgusted. Even though he didn't know whether there was any ambiguous relationship between Xiao Aihong and this pretty boy, he didn't like Hong Xiaofeng either. As Xiao Aihong's secretary, Huo Xiaofeng can be said to represent Xiao Aihong most of the time. Hong Ziming knew that this pretty boy took advantage of this opportunity and got a lot of benefits for himself. However, although Huo Xiaofeng stretched out his hands quite long, he had not yet getting in the way of his son. But even so, Hong Ziming still felt that Huo Xiaofeng looked annoying sometimes, especially his current smile, which always made Hong Ziming feel as if he knew what he had done. In fact, Huo Xiaofeng did secretly help Hong Ziming settle a lot of troubles, and as far as Hong Ziming knew, he was sensible enough and never told Xiao Aihong about these things. But even so, Hong Ziming still felt uncomfortable. "What's the matter again?" Hong Ziming looked at Huo Xiaofeng's face with some annoyance, but although he was arrogant, he was not stupid after all. He still knew not to offend Huo Xiaofeng too much, and Huo Xiaofeng did help him with many things, including Some of them are even very shameful, which is one of the reasons why although Hong Ziming hates Huo Xiaofeng, he can't go too far towards him. "There are a few guests here. Secretary Xiao wants you to meet them." Huo Xiaofeng was always smiling, as if he didn't care about Hong Ziming's lukewarm attitude towards him. "Are you here to propose marriage again?" Hong Ziming snorted. He knew that his mother, Xiao Aihong, was very interested in his marriage, or it should be said that she wanted to use his marriage to make a deal. However, Huo Xiaofeng was very unwilling to be bound by marriage early. For him, he has not enjoyed enough love affairs with his wife several times a night. How could he marry a woman whose appearance or figure cannot compare with his sex-hunting goals because of his mother's political interests? "I guarantee you will be satisfied this time," Huo Xiaofeng raised the glass and drank it in one gulp. When he raised the glass, he saw the mocking contempt in Hong Ziming's eyes looking at him, but Huo Xiaofeng threw it behind his head in the blink of an eye. The background of the girl¡¯s family this time is said to be quite big. Secretary Xiao will tell you the details after returning home.¡± Hong Ziming frowned. The previous blind dates had shown him a lot of people with rich backgrounds but good looks that really made him troubled. The woman he loves, now that he thinks about it, the woman he will introduce to him is probably not much better. When he thought of Chu Yilan, Hong Ziming's heart immediately surged with fire. Maybe it was because he had just drank. He didn't care about Huo Xiaofeng who was sitting next to him. He grabbed a woman sitting next to him and pressed her against him. On her legs, her hands moved towards the slit under her short skirt. The woman obviously did not expect that Hong Ziming wouldHe suddenly moved to himself, and his body couldn't help but feel stiff, which made Hong Ziming feel unhappy. His hand under the woman's clothes suddenly moved, and as the woman let out an unexplained moan, a slightly proud look appeared on his face. smile. Huo Xiaofeng frowned secretly. He looked down on Hong Ziming's unscrupulous behavior from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Hong Ziming being Xiao Aihong's son, he would have been unwilling to care about the evil things of this demon king. But thinking about it on the other hand, it was precisely because he helped Hong Zi to sort out a lot of trivial matters secretly and openly that Hong Ziming would not stumble easily even if he didn't have a good impression of him. Although he has Xiao Aihong's trust, Hong Ziming is Xiao Aihong's son after all. If Hong Ziming really gossips with Xiao Aihong, it will be very bad for Huo Xiaofeng. Huo Xiaofeng is very clear about the principle of not being close. Seeing Hong Ziming playing with the woman in his arms unscrupulously, Huo Xiaofeng just pretended not to see it. He was not afraid that someone would come in at this time and see him, the secretary of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, in such a place. This club can be said to be in Shanghai. The place where fish and dragons are mixed together can be said to have a profound background, so there is no need to worry about someone with a blind eye checking this place. "Also, Ziming, I have already said hello to the customs for those notes you asked me to process a few days ago," Huo Xiaofeng said with a smile. When he saw the questioning look from Hong Ziming, Huo Xiaofeng waved slightly. Waving his hand, "Don't worry, I didn't say that you were asked by Mr. Ming. I just said that the following districts and counties are planning to improve their office conditions and need to replace a batch of cars, so they went directly to the customs to apply for a tax equalization approval slip." Hearing Huo Xiaofeng's words, Hong Ziming's originally cold expression became slightly gentler. Although Hong Ziming was a typical dude, he didn't just know how to cause trouble everywhere and watch other people's cadres and children make a lot of money through their parents' trees. , he would also follow it when he had nothing to do. For example, recently he heard that Chevrolet bullet cars in the United States were quite popular, so he immediately found someone to buy a batch, and Huo Xiaofeng handled the customs approval and other procedures for him. of. Hearing that the procedures for that batch of cars went smoothly, Hong Ziming's mood became better. He gestured to another woman towards Hong Xiaofeng. When he saw the woman, he immediately sat down next to Huo Xiaofeng smartly. Hong Ziming showed his rare expression. smiled. Seeing Huo Xiaofeng sitting slightly to the side, Hong Ziming curled his lips and said: "Secretary Huo, you don't have to be so serious. You are just trying to be relaxed and happy here. Look at how you look like this all day long. How can you be so talented?" A young man not much older than me? " "Ziming, I really can't do this. If someone smells women's perfume when I go back, won't I be in trouble?" Huo Xiaofeng said with a bitter smile on his face. , seeing Hong Ziming laughing loudly after hearing what he said, he was not annoyed, "Ziming, let's take a look and go back first. Secretary Xiao is waiting there." "You are really disappointing," Hong Ziming glared unhappily. He glanced at Huo Xiaofeng, then pushed the woman in his arms aside and sent her away. "Okay, I'll finish this glass of wine and leave." With that, Hong Ziming raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. "Secretary Huo, tell me, who is the daughter of a wealthy family this time? I've agreed that if she looks too ugly, I won't even see you." After getting into the car, Hong Ziming said to Huo Xiaofeng inquired, and he also knew that the guests who could ask his mother to send Huo Xiaofeng to come home for him in person would not be from families with simple backgrounds. However, when he thought of those rich girls with crooked melons and jujubes, he thought again. Thinking of Chu Yilan, Hong Ziming felt unwilling. But Hong Ziming also knew that it was impossible for his mother to agree to marry Chu Yilan. After all, although Chu Yilan's father was not necessarily inferior to Xiao Aihong in status, after all, the two parties belonged to different circles and were even vaguely political enemies. If it hadn't been for him a few years ago, Coincidentally, Xiao Aihong had helped Chu Yilan's father, which was considered a personal favor owed by the Chu family. The two families didn't even have any direct contact, but even so, it was impossible to marry Chu Yilan. After all, there was so much power in it. Hong Ziming still understood. "Don't worry Ziming, I will definitely guarantee your satisfaction this time," Huo Xiaofeng said tightly, but seeing the displeasure on Young Master Hong's face, Huo Xiaofeng gave a helpless smile, "Ziming, please don't force me. In fact, I don't I don¡¯t know, but I heard that my wife¡¯s family is very deep-rooted in the capital.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Hong Ziming became interested. If he was a powerful figure in eastern Guangdong or elsewhere, he wouldn¡¯t care too much. After all, there has been news that after the election this year, his mother Xiao Aihong will join the provincial government as the deputy governor. But if you can say that she is deeply rooted in the capital, it is really not easy. ¡°After all, it is said that if you don¡¯t go to the south, you don¡¯t know how much money there is, and if you don¡¯t go to the capital, you don¡¯t know how important the official position is. To be able to be called the leader in a capital city full of powerful people, he is really not a simple person. "if onlyIf he looks good, go and meet him. "Hong Ziming glanced sideways at Huo Xiaofeng. He knew that although Huo Xiaofeng had reached out a lot behind his back, he was still treating him reasonably, and seeing that he had just solved a batch of car clearance approvals for himself. , he reluctantly agreed. Looking at Hong Ziming's playboy look, Huo Xiaofeng secretly curled his lips. He knew that Hong Ziming looked down on him, but he looked down on Hong Ziming, the second generation ancestor who was unlearned and unskilled. , if it weren¡¯t for Xiao Aihong being his mother, Huo Xiaofeng would have already taught this arrogant and dandy a lesson. ¡°When I think about it, just because I was born well, I will have a worry-free life, and more importantly, I want money, money, and women, Huo Xiaofeng. There is an unspeakable imbalance in his heart, but he also knows that he must not show any dissatisfaction. Not to mention Hong Ziming's character of retribution, and his mother Xiao Aihong is the kind of person who will never allow others to have the slightest bit of dissatisfaction with her. Disobedient or dissatisfied, Huo Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel secretly frightened when he thought of Xiao Aihong's ruthless methods against his opponents. A beeping sound came from Huo Xiaofeng's waist. He immediately took out his pager and looked at it, and saw the message on it. After reading the content, Huo Xiaofeng suddenly frowned, then looked up at Hong Ziming, "What, is something wrong? "Hong Ziming asked. "Ziming, did someone in a city in Hexi Province offend you? "Huo Xiaofeng asked cautiously. He knew that this young man not only had a bad temper, but was also a bastard. If he suspected that someone was snitching on him, he would hate everyone who knew about it, and he would do it endlessly. He is constantly looking for trouble. Although he is not afraid of Hong Ziming, he is not willing to offend him for a trivial matter. "How do you know, is someone gossiping? "Hong Ziming's face immediately showed a ruthless look, "Who told me, you are so courageous, and you are telling me little things behind my back. " "Don't worry Zi Ming, it's because the Hexi Resident Office called the city. It's probably the city's Resident Office who reported the matter to the Provincial Office. "Huo Xiaofeng explained immediately. He knew Hong Ziming's habit of turning his back on others, so of course there was no need to cause trouble for him. "Is there anyone over there in Taihua who has complained? "Hong Ziming lit up a cigarette and took a puff, then opened the car window and threw it out. "It's nothing. There's just a blind bumpkin who wants to compete with me. I just found two people to teach him a lesson." What, someone stood up for them? " "It's not clear yet, but it seems that the Hexi Provincial Office in charge of bidding knew about this, so they called the city to ask what was going on. "Huo Xiaofeng had a slight headache when he heard that Hong Ziming admitted that it was related to Taihua's bid for the office. With the arrival of the Spring Fair, the entire city of Shanghai seemed extremely nervous. Not long ago, Xiao Aihong even personally led a team to quell a dispute. When the workers went on strike, Huo Xiaofeng, who was with Xiao Aihong at the time, was not only impressed but also shocked. Although he had long known that his female boss was ruthless, he was still frightened by Xiao Aihong's method of dealing with the workers. Because of this, Huo Xiaofen is naturally worried that some officials from the municipal party committee and city government who have always been at odds with Xiao Aihong will use this incident to make trouble, and she is even more worried that some people will target Hong Ziming, who is always known for his arrogance. Although she is a woman, she is still the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. Although she is ruthless in her actions, she is also very thoughtful. Huo Xiaofeng's timely reminder made her realize that her son was indeed a big weakness of hers and had done what she did to Hong Ziming. Xiao Aihong, who knew these things very well, knew very well that if someone really wanted to cause trouble for her, Hong Ziming would be a good breakthrough point. And at this time, a rare opportunity appeared in front of her, one from the capital. The girl with an unusually rich family background caught her attention. After finding out the origin of the girl, Xiao Aihong immediately made a decision to create an opportunity for her son to meet the girl as soon as possible. With her beautiful appearance, even her son, who is very picky about women, is likely to be fascinated by her. "Ziming, I'm not talking about you. Don't be too showy at this time," Huo Xiaofeng tried to persuade Hong Ziming, "You." I also know that the relationship between Secretary Xiao and there is getting more and more tense now. If someone really catches their eye, it will be very detrimental to Secretary Xiao. " "What's so great about it, that we can make them rebel in Shanghai? "Hong Ziming glared at Huo Xiaofeng with contempt, "I say Secretary Huo, you have been a secretary for so many years, why can't you straighten your back? As long as my mother is here, what are you afraid of? " "Haha, Ziming, don't take it to heart. This is also an occupational disease. That's right. With Secretary Xiao here, I have nothing to be afraid of. "Huo Xiaofeng laughed, but when he looked at Hong Ziming, his eyes were full of contempt. " CarStopping in front of the famous White Swan Hotel in Shanghai, as soon as he got out of the car, Hong Ziming's eyes lit up. A young but overly beautiful girl was standing at the door of the hotel looking around. Her legs wrapped in Shuimolan jeans looked extremely straight and slender, and her slim waist set off her perky buttocks. And tight, a silk white long-collar shirt was casually half-hidden in the waist of the jeans, making the buds on her chest more conspicuous. This girl is not very old, but her youthful aura that is still slightly green but gradually matures makes Hong Ziming feel restless. Seeing that there is no one around the girl, he walks towards the girl. "Miss, who are you waiting for alone?" Hong Ziming showed a smile to the girl. With his experience, he could tell that this girl should come from a well-behaved family, and judging from her vague temperament, she should come from a well-established family. All right, ladies. But Hong Ziming didn't care. In his opinion, even the rich and powerful families in Shen City still didn't look down on him, Young Master Hong. "Are you okay?" The girl opened her mouth and spoke fluently in Beijing movies. Her big black and white eyes looked at Hong Ziming, who thought he was in the most chic pose, and then turned her head without looking, just looking towards the driveway in the distance. Look up. A trace of displeasure flashed on Hong Ziming's face, but then he smiled slightly. He looked back at the Cadillac parked behind him, and then leaned back slightly: "Miss, are you waiting for someone? If there is an emergency, I can help you." I'll take you there in my car." The girl seemed a little annoyed because Hong Ziming blocked her view, but she still ignored Hong Ziming and walked around Hong Ziming and his Cadillac. Go forward. "Miss, Mr. Ming is talking to you." Hong Ziming, the driver and bodyguard's subordinate, saw that his boss was embarrassed, so he stepped forward and stood in front of the girl. For the first time, anger showed on the girl's face. Her big eyes stared at the face of the bodyguard who was more than half a head taller than her, but there was no trace of uneasiness or fear. Just when the bodyguard was about to raise his hand to pull the girl, there was a sound of wind in his ears, and a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of his eyes! Then, the bodyguard¡¯s outstretched right arm was grabbed by someone. With a twist, his arm was immediately twisted behind his back, and then his head hit the Cadillac¡¯s protruding nose cover! "Sister Xiaoyun!" Looking at the sudden appearance of a long-legged beauty with a hot figure and seemingly full of strength, the girl let out a cry of surprise. " Hong Ziming, who couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw this sudden scene, was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a person following the long-legged beauty who suddenly appeared. "It's you?!" "It's you?!" Looking at each other, Du Yan and Hong Ziming asked in unison. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 28 Shencheng Butcher's Knife Seeing Du Yan, Hong Ziming felt like he was going crazy at this moment. He never expected that this bumpkin from the mainland would come out and ruin his good deeds twice. Hong Ziming looked at Du Yan with a gloomy face, and what surprised him was that the long-legged beauty who came out of nowhere could deal with his driver so easily. Others don¡¯t know it, but Hong Ziming is very aware of his abilities as a driver. He never thought that he, a retired scout-turned-driver and bodyguard, would be subdued by a woman with a gorgeous figure! You must know that in addition to being a driver and bodyguard, his subordinates sometimes also serve as his thugs and even bet boxers with others. But now his capable subordinate is being pinned down in front of the car like a dead dog. The machine cover couldn't even move, which made Hong Ziming feel surprised and curious at the same time. Looking at Zhao Xiaoyun¡¯s neat dress and newly revealed skills, Hong Ziming vaguely guessed that Zhao Xiaoyun might be a bodyguard like his driver. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but doubt Song Jiawen's identity. Seeing Song Jiawen greeting Du Yan after walking up to Zhao Xiaoyun, he couldn't help but secretly wonder what the relationship was between this country bumpkin from the mainland and these two girls. Zhao Xiaoyun still pressed the driver hard on the hood of the car. For her, protecting the safety of the Song family was her first priority. She had seen Hong Ziming pestering Song Jiawen from a distance before, and then saw Hong Ziming's driver harassing Song Jiawen. Zhao Xiaoyun immediately took action and subdued the driver. Although he had seen Hong Ziming entangled with Song Jiayi before, a hotel foreman who had always stood at the door without asking anything came over quickly. He first looked at Song Jiawen and saw her surprisingly beautiful face. The foreman I couldn't help but secretly think, no wonder Master Ming is so entangled with this little girl, she is such a beauty at such a young age. Thinking in his mind, the foreman said to Zhao Xiaoyun with a smile on his face: "Miss, if you have something to say, we have something to say. We are a serious hotel here. It will be difficult for us to do this if you make such a fuss." He lowered his voice and said, "This Miss, you don¡¯t know Mr. Ming, he¡¯s a famous person in Shanghai, you¡¯d better not get into trouble.¡± Hearing the foreman¡¯s words, Zhao Xiaoyun slightly frowned her crescent-shaped eyebrows, tilted her head and looked at her face. Hong Ziming stared gloomily at Du Yan, but she did not relax her hand at all. Instead, she pressed slightly harder. As the driver who was pressed on the car hood let out a groan, Zhao Xiaoyun's mouth showed a hint of contempt. Seeing this scene, Hong Ziming couldn't help but feel furious. He couldn't imagine that after the foreman had already explained his identity, this woman still dared to be so provocative, which made him curse secretly in his heart. But what he was more concerned about at this time was the sudden appearance of Du Yan. He didn't understand why Du Yan appeared here, and where was Chu Yilan? "Who do I think you are?" Hong Ziming looked at Du Yan and said coldly, "It turns out to be a comrade from Taihua. I heard that a policeman went to Taihua to apply for the office to cause trouble for you? Do you want me to think of a solution for you? After all, You and Yilan are colleagues, and I should help you for Yilan's sake." Du Yan secretly scolded Hong Ziming for his evil thoughts. Although Hong Ziming's words sounded like he was deliberately being nice, he only needed to think about it for a moment. You will find that this may not be sowing discord. Although Hong Ziming is still unclear about his relationship with Zhao Xiaoyun, talking about other women in front of one woman can always cause some unnecessary misunderstandings. Sure enough, Zhao Xiaoyun looked towards Du Yan, seeing the meaning in her eyes that only he could understand. When he thought of this aunt's bad temper when she was jealous, Du Yan hated Hong Ziming from the bottom of his heart. "Young Master Ming really cares about our Taihua. When we arrived in Shencheng, we had people come to serve us." Du Yan looked at Hong Ziming equally coldly. He had no good impression of this typical second-generation official. When he thought about it being revealed later, About Hong Ziming's embezzlement of huge wealth and building mansions in Australia, and about his corrupt and luxurious life, Du Yan felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart to the young official who looked like an elite but was full of filth in his heart. "Secretary Chu The chief asked me to convey her gratitude to you. " "You are not with Yilan? How did I hear that the two of you left together?" Hong Ziming said casually, and at the same time he turned to Zhao Xiaoyun and smiled. "Miss, please. Can you let go of my driver? There was a misunderstanding just now." "Sister Xiaoyun, let him go," Song Jiawen said to Zhao Xiaoyun, "He didn't do anything to me." "If he did anything to you, he would. I can't stand here anymore." Zhao Xiaoyun relaxed slightly, but then pushed forward, and the driver immediately staggered forward a few steps. He turned around as soon as he stood firm, but when he saw Zhao Xiaoyun's right hand suddenly touching the back of his waist covered by a short leather jacket, the driver immediately stopped out of instinct from years of training.He stared at Zhao Xiaoyun who put his hands behind his back. "You know what's going on." Zhao Xiaoyun slowly withdrew her hand. Since the driver knew the difference, she wouldn't deliberately make things worse, but if he didn't know how to advance or retreat, Zhao Xiaoyun didn't care to let him have a taste of his power. "Ziming." Huo Xiaofeng, who was following behind, came over at this time. He looked at Song Jiawen and Zhao Xiaoyun curiously. He had long been accustomed to Hong Ziming's arrogance and domineering, so although he had seen Hong Ziming pestering Song Jiawen before, he could He didn't care, but he was the secretary of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee after all. It would be inconvenient to walk with a playboy like Hong Ziming who dared to tease girls on the street, so he deliberately lagged behind. Now seeing that something seemed wrong, Huo Xiaofeng came over immediately. He had not forgotten why Xiao Aihong asked him to bring Hong Ziming. When he saw that Hong Ziming was entangled with a girl at the door of the hotel, he secretly cursed Hong Ziming as a bastard. Besides, there is no other way. "It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding," Huo Xiaofeng smiled at Song Jiawen. He could see clearly that this young but extremely beautiful girl should be the key, so he simply spoke to Song Jiawen directly. "This Don¡¯t get me wrong, lady, my friend is very enthusiastic and likes to be straightforward when doing things. I don¡¯t think there is any need to make everyone unhappy.¡± Huo Xiaofeng said while looking at Du Yan. Although Hong Ziming¡¯s words were not clear, he had already heard it. There was obviously a conflict between Hong Ziming and this young man. Thinking about the news he had received before, he already had a rough idea of ??who this young man was. Huo Xiaofeng doesn¡¯t like a small person like Du Yan at all. Moreover, he was also somewhat dissatisfied with Hong Ziming going to war for Chu Yilan. As Xiao Aihong's secretary, Huo Xiaofeng knew very well that although Chu Yilan was from a good family, it was impossible for Xiao Aihong to agree to a deep relationship between Hong Ziming and Chu Yilan. , which involves a fundamental conflict between factions. So Huo Xiaofeng didn¡¯t even want to question the rivalry between Hong Ziming and this young man from the mainland. It¡¯s just that Hong Ziming is making such a fuss in front of the hotel, which makes Huo Xiaofeng a little embarrassed. He knows that Hong Ziming has always been unscrupulous relying on Xiao Aihong¡¯s favor, but this is a place where people come and go after all, and it will be bad if it is too public. Song Jiawen looked at Zhao Xiaoyun. Although she was the most favored child among the third generation of the Song family, Song Jiawen knew that Zhao Xiaoyun should come forward at this time. Zhao Xiaoyun glanced at Hong Ziming. At this time, she had already vaguely guessed who this person was, but because of this guess, she felt even more annoyed. "I'm sorry, who are you?" Zhao Xiaoyun didn't give Huo Xiaofeng any chance to smooth things over. Although she didn't know the identity of this guy who looked like a pretty boy, she couldn't even think about it when she thought that he was with Hong Ziming. What a good person he would be. When she thought about the reason why she accompanied Song Jiawen to the White Swan Hotel today, she had almost guessed Huo Xiaofeng's identity. Hearing Zhao Xiaoyun's question, Huo Xiaofeng frowned secretly. He knew that this woman was deliberately making things difficult, but if she didn't reveal her identity, he was afraid that the other party would resolutely make the matter worse. Although they didn't care even if the matter really became a big deal, after all Today's occasion is very inconvenient. When he thought about what happened to the guests he was going to meet later, Huo Xiaofeng felt that Hong Ziming was so careless that he even flirted with women during a blind date. "Jiawen!" A slightly exaggerated cry came from a distance. Several people couldn't help but look towards where the sound came from, but they saw a fair and fat woman walking over hastily. The fat hands outside the half-sleeved jacket seemed to be embedded in the round arms. Not far behind her, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit, slightly gray hair, and a serious look was slowly walking over, accompanied by a secretary in his thirties. When she saw Song Jiawen from a distance, the fat woman stretched out her arms as if to hug her. But halfway there, she paused unexpectedly, and then looked at these people with a strange expression. "You two kids are so kind. You met now, but you threw me as a matchmaker aside." The fat woman said, walking up to Song Jiawen in a few steps, and stretched out her fat arm to hug her. Song Jiawen's shoulders, and then smiled at Hong Ziming, "Ziming, your Aunt Liu didn't lie to you this time, right? Isn't Jiawen a big beauty?" Hearing the fat woman's words, Hong Ziming's face suddenly showed surprise and embarrassment. He glanced at Song Jiawen in surprise and then turned to look at Huo Xiaofeng, but what he saw on Huo Xiaofeng's face was the same surprise, which made him believe that Huo Xiaofeng obviously didn't know about the young lady he was going to meet today. , it¡¯s actually the one in front of me??The girl I just had a hard time with. "What, you are" The fat woman seemed to realize that something was wrong with the atmosphere. She looked left and right, and just when she was about to speak again, the serious-looking man had already walked over. "Jiawen, are you guys here early?" The man asked and glanced at Hong Ziming. Du Yan noticed that the man didn't look at Hong Ziming with much concern. He didn't seem to take Hong Ziming seriously. This made him His mind couldn't help but wonder who this person was. "Uncle Cheng." Song Jiawen walked up to the middle-aged man and called out softly. Then she suddenly looked back at Hong Ziming, with a hint of fear in her expression. "What's wrong, Jiawen?" The middle-aged man frowned. He glanced at Hong Ziming seemingly inadvertently, but this glance made the always domineering Hong Ziming's face change slightly. "It's nothing, Uncle Cheng. I want to go back first." Song Jiawen showed a trace of hesitation on her face, but she glanced at Hong Ziming again. In this way, even people who didn't know what happened before could see that there was obviously a conflict between the two parties just now. Something happened. Song Jiawen's pitiful appearance made even Du Yan, who was very aware of her quirky personality, couldn't help but shake his head and think to himself, women are really born actors. "Ziming, what's the matter with you?" The middle-aged man was already familiar with Hong Ziming's playboy habits. Now seeing Song Jiawen looking wronged, even if he didn't know clearly, he could roughly guess what Hong Ziming had not done before. Good thing. Hong Ziming was obviously a little afraid of the middle-aged man. He had a forced smile on his face and was about to speak. Huo Xiaofeng, who was standing next to him, had already answered: "Secretary Cheng, the thing is like this. Ziming was a little nervous when he got out of the car just now. "I'm anxious. I offended this lady unintentionally. Didn't you just come over to apologize to her?" "Really, Zi Ming?" the middle-aged man asked calmly, while looking at her. The slightly embarrassed driver Hong Ziming glanced at him. "Yes, I was rude just now. I'm just apologizing to Miss Jiawen." Hong Ziming immediately woke up under Huo Xiaofeng's suggestion. He took a step forward and bowed slightly to Song Jiawen. His attitude seemed quite sincere, and he seemed to be in harmony with her. The domineering Yameni just now was not alone at all. This made Du Yan, who was standing next to him, admire him. This boy was indeed raised by a political family, and his ability to adapt to changes is really not easy. The middle-aged man's slightly furrowed brows slightly dispersed. He turned around and smiled at Song Jiawen: "Jiawen, since you are not feeling well today, go back and rest first. Come to your uncle's house tomorrow and ask your aunt to give you some Make meat floss rice dumplings. " "Okay, Uncle Cheng, I will go over with Sister Xiaoyun tomorrow and eat the meat floss rice dumplings made by my aunt." Song Jiawen had a look of joy on her face, which was quite innocent. Unexpectedly, she had secretly plotted against Hong Ziming without making a move. Looking at Song Jiawen's youthful and beautiful appearance, the middle-aged man just smiled slightly, then turned his head and took a deep look at Zhao Xiaoyun and Du Yan standing next to him, and then made a gesture to let them do whatever they wanted. After Song Jiawen chatted with the fat woman for a few more words, she said hello again, and then, accompanied by Zhao Xiaoyun and Du Yan, she smiled and turned to a Nissan Duke parked not far away. Go. The middle-aged man looked at them with a smile all the time. Until the car drove away, his expression gradually became expressionless. After looking back at Hong Ziming, who looked slightly uneasy, he clasped his hands behind his back and turned towards the hotel. Go to the door. Hong Ziming's expression was already red from suppressing his emotions. He turned around and glared at the Duke, who could no longer see his shadow. Then he immediately took a few steps and chased after the middle-aged man: "Uncle Cheng, listen to me." When Hong Ziming caught up from behind, the middle-aged man stopped and turned around without speaking. He just looked at Hong Ziming with an expressionless face. This made Hong Ziming, who was about to explain something, speechless for a moment. He kept looking at Huo Xiaofeng next to him, hoping that this clever guy could help him smooth things over. But at this time, Huo Xiaofeng was secretly complaining. In front of this person who had always been taciturn, but could make many people tremble with fear just by mentioning him in Shanghai, even he, who was usually favored by Xiao Aihong, was secretly frightened and embarrassed. disturbed. Just when several people couldn't help but beat their hearts, a rare smile appeared on the middle-aged man's serious face, but this smile was really not a good thing in Hong Ziming's eyes. "Ziming, you're not young this year," the middle-aged man said calmly, "It's time to do something serious. I'll talk to Secretary Xiao later and see if I can let you go to your father's group for some training." ." Finished, he ignored Hong Ziming who became stunned after hearing these words, turned around and walked into the elevator that had just opened. Looking at the elevator door slowly closing, Hong Ziming seemed to suddenly understand what the middle-aged man meant. He turned his head to look at Huo Xiaofeng and said with a panicked expression: "Secretary Huo, Brother Huo, you must help this time." "Me, if my mother really sends me to the north, I will be in trouble." Seeing Hong Ziming's panicked look, Huo Xiaofeng felt a sense of contempt in his heart, but he never showed it on his face, just a constant expression of comfort. Looking at this young master. In the elevator, the fat woman standing next to her husband endured it for a while, and finally couldn't help but softly said: "Huaimin, why are you doing this? You also know that Ziming's mother dotes on him so much, what if "What if it is?" Cheng Huaimin glanced at the secretary standing behind him in the reflection of the elevator. He saw the secretary looking at a document in his hand that he didn't know where it came from. He said in a low voice, "You don't have to look at it to know what he just said." He must have done nothing good at the door. Do you know what the consequences will be if he not only fails to get married but also offends the Song family? " "The Song family is rich, but it's not that much. After all, the Song family is rich. The old man has been enjoying a good life for a long time. Speaking of which, I think it would be a good idea for the boy from the Song family to find Ziming. After all, Ziming will be able to join the provincial party committee and government next year," the fat woman said naggingly, and then She also glanced at the secretary in the reflection and whispered, "Huaimin, where are you next year? I'll ask Secretary Xiao later?" Upon hearing his wife's words, Cheng Huaimin frowned at first, and then let out a soft snort: "It won't happen. How amazing? I can tell you that Song Jiawen is the most popular among the younger generation of the Song family. If Ziming really offends that girl and angers the old man of the Song family, no one can save him." He spat out slightly. He said in a deadpan tone, "They say the Song family is in decline, haha, who knows." At this time, Du Yan, who was sitting in the Duke's Palace and listening to Song Jiawen's annoyed complaint about how being invited to play turned into a blind date, Suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly and he turned to look at Zhao Xiaoyun who was driving the car: "That person's surname is Cheng? Cheng Huaimin, Secretary of the Shanghai Political and Legal Committee?" Seeing Zhao Xiaoyun's acquiescing look, Du Yan leaned his head against the seat. He really didn't think so. Thinking that by chance, he met Cheng Huaimin, who was known as Xiao Aihong's best ally at this time. Cheng Huaimin's name has long been well known not only to Du Yan, but also to other parts of the country. It was this secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of Shanghai City who, after the limited time limit for surrender of local corrupt officials in Shanghai expired more than a year ago, was arrested in Shencheng City. A storm of integrity swept through the city's official circles. Almost no officials who were targeted by Cheng Huaimin were spared. This was of course because these officials themselves did have various bad records, but in fact the real reason was that he had just parachuted into Shanghai from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. A powerful ally and assistant to Xiao Aihong, who serves as full-time deputy secretary. And this clean government storm became a political tool for Xiao Aihong to take the opportunity to establish his prestige and clear obstacles for his own people. Under the banner of clean government, Cheng Huaimin waved the big stick of the Discipline Inspection Commission in his hand and swept through the entire Shencheng officialdom. From then on, Not only did it open up a new situation for Xiao Aihong in Shanghai, but it also established his status as the number one person in Xiao Aihong's circle. Really, these are not the most important things. What really impressed Du Yan was that as the vanguard of Xiao Aihong and the forces behind her to launch an attack on the Teng family, it was Cheng Huaimin who personally took the knife and launched the car smuggling case that shocked the whole of China. The prologue! Thus, we finally found a perfect opportunity for the changes that will gradually change the domestic political landscape in the near future. It¡¯s a bit interesting. It seems that Shencheng¡¯s visit this time was really not in vain. Thinking this in his heart, Du Yan couldn't help but smile. And his smile happened to be seen by Song Jiawen, who was climbing on the back of Zhao Xiaoyun's chair. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 29 The Song Family's Plan To Du Yan's surprise, Zhao Xiaoyun did not stay in the city, but drove all the way out of the city toward the countryside. This made Du Yan a little strange. In his mind, even if Zhao Xiaoyun could endure hardship, Song Jiawen, who had been pampered since childhood, must live in a hotel with complete facilities. But now it seems that everything he saw along the way is It was a very ordinary southern countryside, which aroused Du Yan's interest. At this time, Shencheng can already be said to be the leader of the country's reform and opening up. Both cities and rural areas have already shown far faster development advantages than those in the mainland. It can be seen from the villages they passed by that this made Du Yan couldn't help but secretly sigh, although under his leadership Pingling is developing rapidly relying on the new district, but when you really want to compare, you will find that even the countryside of Shencheng has huge advantages that cities like Taihua cannot match. And a passion that is almost palpable. Although the Duke King was considered a luxury car at this time, it was obviously not very noticeable in Shanghai, so the journey went smoothly. When it was almost dark, the car finally stopped in a large building. , stopped in front of the old house that looked quite impressive. Looking at the old house in front of him, which obviously smelled like a wealthy family in eastern Guangdong, Du Yan looked at Zhao Xiaoyun who got out of the car with some doubts. Song Jiawen looked very happy at this time. She opened the car door and jumped out of the car. Then she pulled Zhao Xiaoyun and ran up the steps paved with two layers of bluestone. However, she had just stretched out her hand to knock on the door. The narrow black courtyard door has slowly opened. An old man wearing a moon-white double-breasted trousers and jacket stood at the door. His all-white hair was neatly combed back. Although his face was full of wrinkles, he seemed to be in surprisingly good spirits. He had a pair of bright eyes. Shi Zheng looked at Song Jiawen standing at the door with a smile. "Second Grandpa!" Seeing the old man, Song Jiawen immediately shouted happily. She first bowed deeply to the old man, and then took the old man's hand and shook it, "Second Grandpa, why don't you go to the capital? , I miss you." The old man was obviously very happy to see Song Jiawen. He kept patting Song Jiawen's hand and let out a small but energetic laugh: "Xiaowen, look at it. You are now a big girl, but why are you still so unstable? If you have an in-law and you are still so crazy, how can you explain to her in-laws? " "Second Grandpa, why do you come up and harm others?" Song Jiawen said a little. Her face was red, but although she seemed unhappy, she still held the old man's hand tightly and refused to let go. "Second Grandpa, do you miss me?" "Of course you miss us Xiaowen, you are your grandfather and Second Grandpa's treasure." The old man said and looked at Zhao Xiaoyun and Du Yan who were following behind. "Second Grandpa." Zhao Xiaoyun also bowed to the old man like Song Jiawen. At the same time, she put her hands behind her and quietly made a gesture to Du Yan, meaning to ask Du Yan to follow her. "Hello, Second Grandpa." Du Yan also followed the example of the two of them and bowed to the old man. Although he didn't know who this old man was, judging from the behavior of Song Jiawen and Zhao Xiaoyun, Du Yan also roughly guessed that this old man must not be In general, the person who would allow Song Jiawen to call him Second Grandpa would have a close relationship with Mr. Song, or even one of Mr. Song's close relatives of the same generation. "Xiaoyun is here, have you brought your boyfriend?" The old man looked at Zhao Xiaoyun and smiled lightly, but as soon as he said these words, Zhao Xiaoyun's face turned red. The strange thing is that although Zhao Xiaoyun seemed to be at a loss, Zhao Xiaoyun did not immediately defend, but Song Jiawen immediately scrambled to distinguish: "No, Second Grandpa, Du Yan and Sister Xiaoyun are friends, not boyfriends." "Oh, Turns out we are friends." The old man stroked his snow-white beard and smiled, but he did not say anything that made Zhao Xiaoyun blush. He just looked Du Yan up and down, and then made a slight gesture, "I rarely have guests here. , suddenly on a whim today, I felt like something was wrong, but it¡¯s not just you who are here.¡± As he said, the old man turned to a young man following him and ordered: ¡°Xiao Gao, go and bring out my bitter leaf tea to serve the guests.¡± ¡°Listen. When he heard the old man's words, the young man seemed slightly startled, but then nodded. "Second Grandpa, we are not guests, so we won't drink your good tea, right?" Song Jiawen was a little surprised at first, and then a troubled look appeared on her face. That look was quite strange, but it seemed like drinking tea was What a chore. Zhao Xiaoyun was also a little surprised. Seeing the confused look on Du Yan's face, Zhao Xiaoyun didn't look away or even look at him. She knew that Du Yan obviously didn't know the origin of this old man, and she, who was always bold, But she didn't dare to flirt with Du Yan in front of this old man, because she knew very well that the man in front of her was SongThe old man who kept licking his arms and acting coquettishly was amazing. "Even your father may not be able to drink Grandpa Second's tea every time. You kid really doesn't know how to enjoy it." The old man shook his head helplessly, then waved slightly to Zhao Xiaoyun and Du Yan, "Xiao Wen, don't you?" "Drink, you two come and drink tea with Second Grandpa." "Yes, Second Grandpa." Zhao Xiaoyun bowed respectfully, then motioned to Du Yan to follow him, and then accompanied the old man to the courtyard of the big house with Song Jiawen. Go. Walking into the courtyard gate, Du Yan was somewhat surprised to find that the entire courtyard was unusually large. Several tall metasequoia trees in the depths of the courtyard completely shrouded one side of the entire courtyard in the shadow of giant umbrella-like trees. It was completely southern style. The large house with a sloping roof looks deep and distant. The two carved doors in the main room are all open, and you can see the rosewood wooden desk Taishi chairs and a row of red camphor wood poufs placed near the wall. , all this seems to bring people back to the distant time in the deep courtyard in an instant. "Come in, don't stand still. I guess you are tired too. Let's have a sip of tea first and don't talk in a hurry." The old man said to the three young people following him with a smile. His expression was very kind, but Du Yan There was a glimmer of scrutiny in his bright eyes. Hearing what the old man said, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. He felt that the second grandfather, whose name was still unknown, seemed to have something strange in his words from the beginning, and he vaguely seemed to know something. "Du Yan, let me introduce you." At this time, Song Jiawen introduced the old man to Du Yan. "This is my second grandfather. He is my grandfather's uncle and brother. Now in the ancestral house, the second grandfather is the whole family." "Hearing Song Jiawen's strange introduction, Du Yan was a little dumbfounded. Although he had heard that Mr. Song was from a prominent family in eastern Guangdong, he didn't know the details. Now he heard that Song Jiawen was so clueless. As soon as he thought about it, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Xiaoyun next to him with some doubts, but found that Zhao Xiaoyun, who had been silent since he came in, didn't even look at him. "Okay Xiaowen, your introduction like this is the same as not saying anything. Let people know who I am, Zhao Qian, Sun Li." The old man seemed to have noticed Du Yan's confusion. He said with an easygoing smile, "Song Jiawen" One sentence, and then he looked Du Yan up and down. Under the old man's gaze, Du Yan actually had the illusion that he was being examined under a magnifying glass. He looked into the old man's eyes and saw a pair of old but inexplicably wise eyes. Eye. "Young man is not bad, not bad," the old man suddenly said something strange, and then said with a smile, "My name is Song Youbo, you can just follow Xiaowen and call me Grandpa Second." Hearing the old man's self-introduction, Du Yan's My heart skipped a beat! Song Youbo, this name does not sound very eye-catching. At this time, except for people in specific circles, few people in China knew about him. However, Du Yan knew that this man would have an extraordinary reputation in later generations. Because of the special political environment, the domestic economy has always been inseparable from politics. The so-called political economics has become a required course for domestic officials, and many universities have made this course a required teaching material in schools. As far as Du Yan knows, it is these socialist economics textbooks that are regarded as golden rules by many universities, and a very important part of them is organized and compiled by this kind-looking and ordinary old man in front of him. It can be said that the old man in front of me is the leading figure in modern economics in China! But Du Yan never expected that this old man, who in his impression was still optimistic and funny even in the new century, was actually an uncle and brother to the old man of the Song family. This was really beyond Du Yan's expectation. "Hello, Second Grandpa, my name is Du Yan." Du Yan bowed slightly to the old man again, then he looked into the old man's eyes and said calmly, "I have read your works before, but I didn't expect to meet you in person." "It's my honor." "Oh?" Song Youbo raised his eyes slightly and looked at Du Yan. He took the teacup that Song Jiawen handed him and asked indifferently, "I didn't expect it now. Has anyone read the things I wrote? Young man, tell me what articles have you read?" Seeing Song Youbo's nonchalant look, Zhao Xiaoyun, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but feel anxious. She was a little worried. He glared at Du Yan secretly angrily, feeling annoyed at Du Yan's ignorance of how to advance or retreat. Zhao Xiaoyun didn't believe that Du Yan had really read any works written by Song Youbo. In fact, even Zhao Xiaoyun, who was half of the Song family, didn't know what the second grandfather had written, but Zhao Xiaoyun knew deeply. This second grandfather Song is so powerful. When he thinks that even Mr. Song often obeys his uncle and brother, Zhao Xiaoyun can't wait to grab DuHis ears scolded him for being such a good boy. "Second Grandpa, I remember that you once wrote an article on the laws of socialist economics, but I forgot the specific time. But what I remember clearly is that in that article you put forward some of the disadvantages of large-scale economic regulation itself. Questions, including the question of whether large-scale economic regulation policies will lead to deformation of the economic structure, can be called the voice of a master who is deafening. " Du Yan, who had calmed down from the accident, was talking about it. He knew that he would unexpectedly meet Song today. It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to be able to enter Youbo's home. Du Yan told himself that he must seize this excellent opportunity because he had learned from Song Youbo's identity and Song Jiawen's love for Song. Through Youbo's intimacy and Zhao Xiaoyun's caution, he faintly realized that Song Youbo was probably the number one think tank around Mr. Song. In fact, Du Yan did not lie. Although he had already left the economic world in later generations, he had always been curious about Song Youbo, who had become a legend in the domestic economic circle. The reason why Du Yan is so curious is that this old man, who is nearly a hundred years old in the new century but is still full of childishness, actually had a pair of eyes that can see through the future very early. Song Youbo had been listening calmly, listening to Du Yan talk about his opinions on his article. The old man's eyes never left Du Yan's face, until he gradually wrinkled his white eyes. eyebrow. "Second Grandpa, it is obvious that there is a voice in the country now, which believes that under the background of general macro-control, a comprehensive Keynesian economic model can be implemented entirely with the government's execution power, and even some large-scale economic models can be carried out for certain needs. I think it is very dangerous to tighten money and then quickly complete capital accumulation, because I remember that you have reminded the country very early on that the consequences of such excessive behavior should be taken into account when formulating future economic policies.¡± Seeing that Zhao Xiaoyun, who was sitting next to him, was already a little uneasy because of Song Youbo's expression, and even risked winking at him, but Du Yan continued speaking in one breath. He knew that doing so was indeed risky, but what he was saying was I have thought carefully before speaking, and I have thought about the rumors I have heard in later generations about Song Youbo who was severely criticized for his criticism of macro-control many years ago, as well as the rumors about him that appeared on the Internet after the new century. With a few words about the economic and political situation, Du Yan felt that he could take the risk. "Young man, I can see that you are very complicated in reading," Song Youbo smiled faintly. His weather-beaten eyes swept over Du Yan's face, looking at the calm look in Du Yan's eyes as he looked at him. Suspicion gradually turned into interest. "Since you know what I wrote at that time, do you know what happened to me later?" Song Youbo's question made Du Yan pause for a moment, and asked about Song Youbo's time in the 1960s. He had only heard about some of his experiences but was not very clear about them. Looking at Song Youbo who seemed to be quite interested, Du Yan knew that he must not talk nonsense just because he was proud. Facing such an old man, The only right thing to do is to tell the truth. "Second Grandpa, I have only heard that you were affected during the Cultural Revolution. The specific situation is not very clear," Du Yan replied cautiously, "I just think that this should have something to do with the articles you wrote before. I don¡¯t know if that¡¯s right.¡± Song Youbo took a sip of tea slowly, put the delicate bowl on the table and chuckled, ¡°Those days are gone, but there are still young people who remember them. Those things I used to have were pretty rare." After saying that, Song Youbo turned to look at Zhao Xiaoyun and said casually, "Xiaoyun, it seems you have good taste." Zhao Xiaoyun's face turned red at first, and then. But she immediately turned pale. She raised her head uneasily and looked at Song Youbo, then lowered her head. "Second Grandpa, everyone said that Du Yan is not Sister Xiaoyun's boyfriend," Song Jiawen shook her head at the side, "Besides, Sister Xiaoyun and Brother Haipeng are a couple." "Yes. "Huh?" Song Youbo looked at Song Jiawen and asked, laughing, but did not continue the topic, which made Zhao Xiaoyun, who was a little restless, secretly relieved. When the young man named Xiao Gao walked in with a tray, Zhao Xiaoyun immediately glared at Du Yan with a warning look. Seeing Du Yan actually had a smile on his face, Zhao Xiaoyun was so angry that he could not help but secretly grit his teeth. , but did not dare to do anything excessive. There were several bamboo cups placed on the wooden tray held by the young man named Xiao Gao. Although each cup was covered with a banana leaf, as soon as he entered the room, a rather peculiar smell had already wafted into Du's house. Yan's nose. It is a taste that is different from other teas. Although it is also fragrant and pleasant, it has a vague bitterness that cannot be concealed.Tao, when the banana leaf was moved away and a deep ink wave was revealed in the bamboo cup, the bitter taste became more obvious. At this moment, looking at Song Jiawen's troubled face, Du Yan understood why Miss Song showed such a reluctant look when she heard that Song Youbo wanted to invite them to drink his precious tea. "Bitterness is the source of sweetness, and sweetness is the fruit of bitterness. This is the truth." Song Youbo looked at Song Jiawen holding the bamboo cup with a wronged look on her face, and just looked at his grandniece with a smile, "Xiaowen Ah, the so-called remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet is to make people understand the difference. Otherwise, no matter how sweet the food is, it will be the same after eating for a long time, and naturally there will be no gratitude. ¡± Zhengduan. The man holding the cup couldn't help but feel moved when he heard Song Youbo's words. He raised his head and looked at Song Youbo, but what happened to be met was the old man's eyes that made him unpredictable. "Second Grandpa, I also drank your bitter tea, now it's time to listen to my complaint," Song Jiawen gritted her teeth and drank a mouthful of tea that was so bitter that her tongue was numb, then she put down the cup and said to Song Youbo He said, "You know, I was bullied just now." Du Yan and Zhao Xiaoyun, who were drinking tea, were shocked when they heard Song Jiawen's words, and they immediately looked at Song Youbo at the same time. "What's going on, Xiaowen, someone is bullying you?" Song Youbo was slightly startled, but he looked at Zhao Xiaoyun, "Xiaoyun, what's going on?" "Second grandpa, it's Hong Ziming," Zhao Xiaoyun immediately got up from his chair. Standing up, he answered respectfully, "Xiaowen was at the entrance of the White Swan Hotel at that time. Hong Ziming was pestering Xiaowen for no reason. I happened to arrive at that time and saw Hong Ziming's driver blocking Xiaowen, so I gave him a lesson." "Hong Ziming ? Xiao Aihong's son?" Song Youbo slowly put down the bamboo cup and tapped his fingers on the table. When he saw Zhao Xiaoyun nodding, a sarcastic smile gradually appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth, "Xiao Aihong has been very active recently. There are movies on TV. , there is a sound on the radio, there are articles in the newspapers, and they are very active in their work." After saying that, the old man held the chair and wanted to stand up. The young man beside him reached out to help him, but he pushed him away gently: "Xiao Gao, I said. How many times have I tried it, but I haven¡¯t reached the point where I need someone to help me walk around. You might help me grow old.¡± Listening to the old man¡¯s words with a somewhat complaining tone, Xiao Gao chuckled. Instead, he stepped back and didn't persist. "Xiao Gao, call the municipal party committee office," the old man continued to say calmly, but his eyes gradually turned from friendly to stern. "Tell the municipal party committee office that I will see Secretary Xiao tomorrow morning and ask her to send her the schedule." Adjust the time." The old man's words made Du Yan feel a sudden shock. Based on his usual work experience, if there are no very important people or things, the pre-arranged work schedule will never be easily changed, because A small adjustment will affect a series of things that follow, and he is only a deputy director-level economic zone director. As for the importance of work arrangements as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee of a sub-provincial city, Du Yan can imagine it even if he is not very clear. But now the old man in front of him wants to make someone as arrogant as Xiao Aihong with just a phone call. The domineering man changed his work schedule and was waiting for him. From this point of view, it must be said that it is really surprising. If Du Yan had previously thought that Song Youbo was a tycoon in the economic world, or the chief schemer of the Song family, now he has realized that the huge energy behind this old man is by no means just the third son of the Song family. A mastermind is so simple. Because even if he doesn't know the inside story, Du Yan also knows that although the relationship between the old man of the Song family and the person behind Xiao Aihong is relatively peaceful, they are two completely different camps, and Xiao Aihong, who is a general in the other camp, , there is absolutely no need to accommodate Song Youbo so much. So, the only explanation is that Song Youbo obviously has a background that makes Xiao Aihong taboo or even give in. "That Hong Ziming is not a good person. He looks like a dandy at first glance. I have seen many such people in the capital, and I didn't expect to meet him again in Shanghai." Song Jiawen said angrily, "You know, Second Grandpa, he is the most irritating person." What's weird is that Aunt Cheng from Uncle Cheng's family actually wants to be a matchmaker for me and that boy." "Cheng Huaimin's wife?" Song Youbo had already put away his previous expression. He glanced at Du Yan, and then He smiled and said, "Cheng Huaimin is a smart person. Unfortunately, no matter how smart a person is, he can easily make mistakes. His biggest mistake in his life was to marry a stupid wife." Du Yan, who was drinking tea, looked at Song Youbo in astonishment. He never expected that this old man would actually say such a thing. What made him feel a little strange was that with Song Youbo's weathered age and calmness, how could he comment like this in front of an outsider who was meeting him for the first time? A secretary of the Municipal Law Committee.   Seemingly seeing Du Yan's confused look, Song Youbo smiled at Du Yan: "Xiao Du, since you mentioned the articles I wrote before, I also want to ask you a question." " Second Grandpa, you don¡¯t dare to do this,¡± Du Yan immediately stood up and said respectfully, ¡°I was just a master at doing a few things before. If you have any advice, please feel free to give it.¡± Song Youbo seemed quite satisfied with Du Yan¡¯s humility, and he stroked his silver hand gently. The white beard looked at Du Yan and nodded slightly, then said to Xiao Gao, who had just walked in after making a phone call: "Xiao Gao, go get those briefing papers on the table in the study." Xiao Gao glanced at Du Yan and then turned and walked out. , walked in after a while holding several seemingly cropped briefing papers. Song Youbo took the briefing and flipped through it casually, then smiled and motioned for Du Yan to come to him and hand it to him. When he saw the articles with eye-catching titles in the bulletin, Du Yan's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. He never expected that the articles he had written before would actually appear in Song Youbo's home, and from the clear classification and the comments attached next to the articles, it can be seen that the owner of the briefing is indeed reading these articles very seriously. Du Yan looked at Song Youbo with some astonishment. If Song Jiawen and Zhao Xiaoyun brought him to the Song family's old house just now was purely a coincidence, then after reading these briefings, Du Yan would naturally no longer think that Song Youbo It is also a coincidence that there are articles written by Bo around him. "Second Grandpa, what are you" Du Yan was a little unsure of Song Youbo's meaning. In front of such a person, he felt that since he didn't understand, he should just admit it, otherwise it would only make others look down on him. "What I wrote Why do you have stuff here? " "It's not new, Luo Wei collected these for me." Song Youbo's seemingly natural answer made Du Yan stunned again. He didn't expect this. It actually involved Qiao Luowei, which made him almost unable to help but look back at Zhao Xiaoyun behind him. "So Xiao Du, to tell you the truth, I recognized you as soon as you came in, but I didn't expect you to know the articles I wrote before. This is really unexpected." Song Youbo said casually He laughed, but this made Du Yan secretly shocked. He never expected that people already knew him completely when he entered the door. Fortunately, he just followed Song Youbo's article and didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Something happened, and he couldn't help but be afraid for a while. But then, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. When he thought that Qiao Luowei actually recommended him to Song Youbo, and Qiao Luowei's own identity was so sensitive, he felt indescribable gratitude. Feelings surged in my heart. "But Xiao Du, let me remind you, do you know that some of your views are actually very dangerous?" Song Youbo's face suddenly straightened, and his eyes that seemed to be able to see through the world were fixed on Du Yan's face. " Do you know how many people you offended when these views came out? " "Second Grandpa, to be honest, I know exactly what consequences these articles will bring, but I think it is necessary, after all, our country is going through a crisis. At the most critical moment, if no one is willing to stand up and say a few words, maybe no one will say anything again in the future. " Du Yan also looked at Song Youbo seriously. He knew that if it was just a first trial, then whether he would be able to. In the end, with the help of the big tree of the Song family, all the way to success, now is the real beginning! Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 30 Taking Advantage of the Moment "By the way, Du Yan, you and Hong Ziming seem to be having trouble getting along," Song Jiawen suddenly remembered something and asked, and her eyes glanced at Song Youbo intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing Song Youbo looking over indifferently, Du Yan thought about it quickly and then nodded and said: "It's a bit contradictory, but it's not interesting." Under Song Jiawen's questioning, Du Yan simply explained the previous conflict between himself and Hong Ziming. After talking for a while, even though there was really nothing to say, but there were some things that couldn't be said in too much detail, but even so, he could still feel the murderous look Zhao Xiaoyun cast towards him. Song Youbo didn¡¯t have any opinions. For someone like him, Du Yan¡¯s facts were nothing. The reason why he became angry was not so much because he heard that Song Jiawen was bullied, but rather because there were other reasons that others could not see clearly. It¡¯s just that Song Jiawen obviously didn¡¯t want to let Hong Ziming go, especially when she heard from Du Yan that Hong Ziming actually asked the police to trouble Du Yan just because Du Yan prevented him from dating a woman. Song Jiawen couldn¡¯t help but feel even more angry. She asked Du Yan to go to Cheng Huaimin's house with her. Although this suggestion was opposed by Zhao Xiaoyun, Song Jiawen was very stubborn this time. At this moment, Song Youbo, who had been ignoring him, suddenly said lightly He said, "It's time to eat." Seeing that Song Youbo didn't seem to hear the dispute between Song Jiawen and Zhao Xiaoyun at all, and turned around and walked to the back hall accompanied by Xiao Gao, Du Yan already knew Song Youbo's attitude towards this matter, and Zhao Xiaoyun, who had always been opposed to it, He also immediately shut his mouth. Although Song Youbo is old, unlike other old people, he has a good appetite and a stable work and rest schedule. According to his own words, he eats well and sleeps soundly. However, after all, he is old and his taste is naturally biased. It's a bit lighter, but Song Youbo doesn't have many rules at the dinner table. He doesn't insist on talking during meals and sleep like some elders from big families. Instead, he is very lively in conversation. It's just that the young man named Xiao Gao next to him had hinted to Song Jiawen several times early. Seeing Xiao Gao's continuous looks, Song Jiawen still wanted to talk to the second grandpa more, but in the end she still obeyed. After eating, I followed Song Youbo and walked slowly with him in the far-reaching and quiet courtyard of the old house. What surprised Du Yan was that just when he was about to say goodbye, Song Youbo looked at the already dark sky and casually invited him to stay one night in the Song family's old house. This invitation really surprised and surprised Du Yan. Somewhat flattered. Although he has insights beyond his time, Du Yan is very clear about the gap between himself and people like Song Youbo. In addition to having real contact with high-level secrets that he has never really been exposed to before, Du Yan also has many years of experience. Precipitation and accumulation, in this aspect, Du Yan humbly admitted that there is a big distance between himself and Song Youbo. As for those things that are really related to the struggle between the upper class, although many have been disclosed in later generations, after all, they cannot be compared with what the people involved have experienced. From this point of view, Du Yan can be where he is now. The achievements are already rare, but if you want to truly integrate into those so-called circles, it is particularly important to get guidance from people like Song Youbo. In fact, even if Song Youbo didn't say anything to him, it was a rare fate for Du Yan to stay in the Song family's old house for one night. He believes that just for today's night, even if he returns to Taihua to apply for the event tomorrow, there won't be any big trouble. But Du Yan still called the Hexi Provincial Office to bid. He knew that Chu Yilan should be at the Hexi Provincial Office to bid. Sure enough, after the call was dialed, Du Yan had just said who he was when Chu Yilan's voice came over: "Where are you now?" "Secretary-General Chu, I'm sorry, I left in a bit of a hurry during the day," Du Yan To put it very politely, Du Yan had that kind of strange contact with Chu Yilan because of the tense situation. Du Yan knew that if he ignorantly thought that because of this, he had a different relationship with others, it would appear that he had a different relationship with her. Whatever, that's a bit ungrateful. After all, someone like Chu Yilan, who comes from a cadre family and is a cadre within the system, should have strong self-control. "I am in an elder's home now. I won't do it today." I'm back. Also, I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble." There was a moment of silence on the phone, and then Chu Yilan's calm and distant voice came: "Director Du, it's me who should apologize, because My fault has caused certain difficulties in your work. Don¡¯t worry, I have already reported the situation to the provincial leader in charge of the bid. The provincial leader in charge of the bid also understands your difficulty in being too busy at work in Pingling. You can directly report to me tomorrow morning. Just come to the Provincial Consulate to apply for a plane ticket, and the flight will go back to Tongyang tomorrow afternoon." Du Yan couldn't help but hear that he had already prepared a plane ticket for himself to return to Hexi Province.?I have a new understanding of Chu Yilan's clean and decisive style. Although it seemed a bit reckless to leave because of the cold reception from Teng Shiyuan's daughter-in-law, Du Yan actually knew that it was Teng Shiyuan's home and avoided it as much as possible, but Chu Yilan naturally didn't know the reason for this. After leaving the Provincial Military Region compound, at Chu Yilan's suggestion, the two of them came to the Provincial Station to bid. Of course, as Chu Yilan said, they did this to avoid encountering the police who were looking for trouble when they returned to the Taihua Station to bid. , in fact, it was also to temporarily avoid those Taihua cadres who were obviously preparing to watch the show. And vaguely, Du Yan noticed after entering the Provincial Resident Office that Chu Yilan was very familiar with this place, and the cadres at the Provincial Office and Office were also very respectful to Chu Yilan. In comparison, the Provincial Office Office seemed more like Chu Yilan. Yilan's territory. Du Yan knew Chu Yilan's purpose in bringing him to the provincial station to apply for the Olympic Games. In addition to wanting to avoid getting into trouble for the time being, the other reason might be to continue this high-profile gesture to show off to the cadres in Taihua. Knowing her background and weight in the province is the only way to prevent those Taihua cadres who are originally worried about the world from making trouble. ¡°What surprised Du Yan was that he actually met Zhao Xiaoyun when applying for the Provincial Residency, which made him feel that the world seemed a bit small. However, Du Yan later understood that as the Spring Fair in Shanghai was the most watched event in the country at that time, how could the Song family not pay attention to it as a member of the business community, and the reason why Zhao Xiaoyun appeared in Hexi Province? The bid was the result of the Song family's investment in Tongyang. It was just the impact of a Huayang commercial building in Tongyang. As Qiao Luowei's half agent in Hexi Province, Zhao Xiaoyun was already enough to be affected by the Hexi Province's ambassador to the bid. Notice. So it is nothing new to see this long-legged beauty again in Shanghai, thousands of miles away. The only thing that made Du Yan a little embarrassed was that Zhao Xiaoyun pulled him away without any reason. And he did need to talk to Zhao Xiaoyun in private for many reasons, so he was very unloyal and left Deputy Secretary-General Chu alone. Provincial Resident Application. Now that he heard Chu Yilan's smooth and unobtrusive manner, he completely ignored the previous events and even found an excuse for himself to leave immediately. Du Yan couldn't help but admire the fact that children raised by cadre families are indeed There are different levels in many places. Perhaps except for real dudes like Hong Ziming, the reason why the children of cadres can be promoted more easily than ordinary civilians is certainly related to the huge network they have. Among them, they themselves rely on their innate advantages to cultivate Ability indeed cannot be ignored. With this in mind, Du Yan said to Chu Yilan on the phone: "I'm sorry, Secretary-General Chu, I can't go back to Taihua tomorrow. There are still some unfinished things here. In addition, I have to accompany my elders to visit a leader tomorrow." , so I won¡¯t pick up the ticket tomorrow.¡± ¡°What?¡± Chu Yilan¡¯s voice finally fluctuated a little, and she seemed to take a deep breath before continuing, ¡°Director Du, please understand that the current situation is a bit complicated. "It's special. If you go to see anyone at this time, it might make things worse." Du Yan heard that Chu Yilan thought that she wanted to find someone to intercede with Hong Ziming through connections, but Du Yan didn't want to do it. Chu Yilan explained that after all, Song Youbo's line was a bit too bluffing. Until now, Du Yan hadn't really figured out what kind of power and background behind Song Youbo. It might even be involved. The power base of the entire Song family. " Moreover, it is impossible for Du Yan to tell Chu Yilan that he is not actually accompanying any leader tomorrow, but is going to meet Cheng Huaimin with Song Jiawen! Just like it is impossible for Li Peizheng or Ding Bingxian to tell Du Yan all their background relationships, it is impossible for Du Yan to tell all his relationships to others, let alone Chu Yilan, who is only a casual acquaintance. . Having one more route in the officialdom means one more opportunity. This kind of rare resource cannot be easily shared with others. Although Du Yan has a good relationship with Liang Benchu's secretary Chu Yijun, Du Yan is very interested in Chu Yijun. Lan Duo was different from others, but everything in the officialdom had to be left behind. After all, when Liang Benchu ??first came to Hexi as the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, he wanted to gain a firm foothold and win over Liu Jiahui's father, Liu Jiahui, the Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Ding sacrificed Du Yan. Although Liang Benchu ??later gave Du Yan a lot of face in front of many faculty and students during his inspection at the Provincial Party School, Du Yan knew deeply that this was just because for Liang Benchu, whether it was the Song family or the people behind him, All the forces think that they are still of some use, but deep down Liang Benzhu may not really take himself seriously. If the need for trading arises again, Liang Benchu ??may sell himself again without hesitation. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????If you don¡¯t want to become an abandoned chess piece in the political game, you must strive for the upper reaches until one day you can jump out of the chess game and transform from a chess piece into a chess player. Du Yan thought like this, while listening to Chu Yilan's questioning as restrained as possible. He had to admit that Chu Yilan did a good job in controlling his emotions. Although he expressed strong opposition, Chu Yilan still kept his tone calm. She was very calm and did not let the other party feel that she was actually extremely angry. But Du Yan had already made up his mind and couldn't let go of this opportunity to get in touch with Cheng Huaimin, so after dealing with Chu Yilan for a few words, he found an opportunity to say a few words and then hung up. Telephone. "Reporting to Deputy Secretary-General Chu?" Zhao Xiaoyun's cold voice came from behind, and Du Yan secretly gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that Zhao Xiaoyun was so courageous that he dared to come to his room alone at night. This was quite different from the time when I first came to the Song family's old house, when I didn't even have the courage to look at him. "Didn't I just report to Director Zhao? There is always a sequence, right?" Du Yan turned around and showed a smile. Just seeing Zhao Xiaoyun's cold expression, he felt that his little humor was a bit Leng: "I didn't say anything. It's just that they were worried about causing trouble and rushed me back to Taihua. They even bought the plane ticket for me." "Humph, you will have many opportunities to report to her in the future, so you don't care about this. Time." What Zhao Xiaoyun said casually made Du Yan's heart move. He looked at Zhao Xiaoyun and asked, "Chu Yilan is coming to Pingling? How did you know" At this point, Du Yan couldn't help but smile. For people like Zhao Xiaoyun or Qiao Luowei, it is naturally impossible to hide the personnel transfer of a municipal cadre from them, especially in such an important place as the bridgehead for the Song family's development to the mainland, and maybe even Chu Yilan There is a shadow of their manipulation behind the scenes. "I have met Chu Yilan in Taihua before. She is very strict about her behavior. She hates irregular people like you the most. You will suffer the consequences in the future." Zhao Xiaoyun stared at Du Yan and said. "Then I'm often rude to you, why don't you hate me?" Du Yan said with a bad smile, and then when Zhao Xiaoyun saw something was wrong before he could speak, he reached out and hugged her in his arms. "You are so brave, do you know where this is?" Zhao Xiaoyun scolded in a low voice, "I tell you, if the second old man sees it, not to mention that you are just a small deputy, even the deputy director will not be able to save you." "Then why don't you stop me? Don't tell me that you can't hide. I know what you're capable of. If you don't want to, even a few of me won't be able to touch you." Du Yan said and started to touch his hands. He gently touched Zhao Xiaoyun's body, feeling Zhao Xiaoyun's body tense and trembling at times. He gently buried his face into Zhao Xiaoyun's shoulder, smelling the refreshing smell of mint shampoo in her hair. "You are really not afraid, so what should I be afraid of? At most, you will be sent back to my brother and be an old girl for the rest of your life." Zhao Xiaoyun said harshly. Her hands touched a certain vein under Du Yan's neck several times, but even though she was worried about her He was very confident in his methods, knowing that he would not really hurt Du Yan and would only make him be more honest, but he never had the heart to be ruthless. "Why are you an old girl? Be my wife." Du Yan said with a smile. "Well, if you and Su Qian break up, I will go directly to Mr. Qiao to talk about our affairs." Zhao Xiaoyun pushed Du Yan away coldly. Seeing the embarrassed look on Du Yan's face, she snorted and walked to the table. He poured himself a cup of tea, but as soon as he smelled the unique smell, Zhao Xiaoyun immediately frowned and placed the bamboo cup he just raised on the table. "You are really good. Although the second old man's bitter tea is never easily drunk by others, "But you can really drink it?" "The old man said it well, the so-called remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet is to use bitter to set off the sweet. Sometimes, in order to feel sweet, even if it is not bitter, it must be deliberately made bitter." Du Yan said as he picked up the bamboo cup from the table, frowned slightly and drank it in one gulp. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 31 Fighting Spirit! "I don't understand your riddles. I came here to ask you, what are you going to say when you go to Cheng Huaimin's place tomorrow?" Zhao Xiaoyun looked at Du Yan levelly. Speaking of which, in Du Yan's eyes, Zhao Xiaoyun is good at everything, but his height makes him a little helpless. Although the extremely hot high waist and long legs that stick out in front and back are really the best, and he is always intoxicated by them. But even without wearing high heels, she was almost the same height as him. Even though Du Yan was extremely erotic every time he held her, he always felt like he couldn't satisfy the evil desire for control in his heart. Especially when Zhao Xiaoyun faced him face to face, Du Yan felt a little frustrated when he looked straight at him. But often at such times, he would have a strange desire to conquer from the bottom of his heart. Maybe it was this strange desire to conquer. It was the feeling that made him have an unusual and wonderful feeling for Zhao Xiaoyun. Seeing Zhao Xiaoyun's small nose that was almost touching his face, Du Yan resisted the urge to hold her in his arms immediately and replied seriously: "Why do you think the second old man agreed that Jiawen and I would go together to see Cheng Huaimin? "Isn't it to sue Hong Ziming?" Zhao Xiaoyun asked, and then she opened her mouth slightly to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. "The so-called knocking on the mountain to shock the tiger does not necessarily mean that you really want to do something to the tigress, but you always want to let her know and don't go too far." When Du Yan said this, he stretched out his hand and gently took Zhao Xiaoyun into his arms. "But this time I It's not just to offend someone. You always have to bring some greeting gifts before knocking on someone's door. " "You are probably because you are afraid that boy Hong Ziming will continue to pester Chu Yilan. I can't tell you have a big appetite." She reached out to get out of Du Yan's arms, but when a tall peak on her chest was covered by Du Yan's hand, her body softened, and she moaned softly, and her body couldn't help but Leaning back, her curvy figure became more prominent. "Little gangster, aren't you afraid that the old man will see you?" "The old man has noticed it a long time ago, right?" Du Yan lowered his head and kissed her softly. Zhao Xiaoyun showed off his white neck because of his head tilted back, while whispering, "The old man's eyes are very poisonous. I don't believe you if you say I didn't see you like that." "Then you still dare Oh, don't Bite my ear, it's itchy." Zhao Xiaoyun tilted her head to one side, but she couldn't avoid the soreness and numbness in her earlobe caused by Du Yan's shouting. However, she had not forgotten the purpose of coming here, and tried her best to endure the discomfort and asked, " What do you want to say to Cheng Huaimin? Let me warn you, Cheng Huaimin is not the kind of person that Zhang Wenliang can easily crush or round. Do you know how many people have fallen into his hands and been sent to prison or even sentenced to death? "Of course I know who Cheng Huaimin is," Du Yan smiled. Although he would not tell Zhao Xiaoyun that he might know Cheng Huaimin better than she did, he also knew that Zhao Xiaoyun was obviously motivated by this visit. Since he has a certain mission, he doesn't care to tell her his thoughts. After all, with his current status, he is not qualified to bargain with Xiao Aihong. This requires the help of Song Jiawen or simply Song Youbo, and he I believe Song Youbo has obviously guessed his purpose, so he asked Zhao Xiaoyun to find out. "As far as I know, Xiao Aihong may attack some people in Shencheng, but she doesn't know yet. Her son Hong Ziming "Oh, is there such a thing?" Zhao Xiaoyun, who was still breathing, was stunned, but then she was shocked to find that Du Yan's hand was exploring her collar when she wasn't paying attention. After getting in, he skillfully grasped an already extremely hard gem on the peak inside the underwear! "You're going to die," Zhao Xiaoyun grabbed Du Yan's hand and pulled it out. However, as the two of them argued back and forth, the already hard gem rubbed back and forth in Du Yan's hand, even though there was still a layer of fabric between them. , but that feeling already made Zhao Xiaoyun blush instantly and breathe quickly, "Come out quickly, you little gangster, I'll kill you!" "You're going to die anyway, so it's better to make enough money before you die," Du Yan deliberately said to Zhao Xiaoyun As he whispered in his ear, he saw a flash of panic in Zhao Xiaoyun's eyes, and Du Yan proudly took out his hand, "Remember, girl, I will punish you like this if you don't obey me in the future." "Bah, one day I will let you go. You're killing me." As soon as Zhao Xiaoyun got out of Du Yan's arms, she immediately straightened her clothes, but no matter how she arranged them, she felt like she couldn't hide what the two of them had just done. "You're really going to kill me. If Jiawen sees this, How can I have the nerve to care about her in the future? " "Then don't care," Du Yan's expression suddenly became serious. He stretched out his hand and slowly pulled Zhao Xiaoyun into his arms, but he just hugged her, which made Zhao Xiaoyun slightly relieved. "Xiaoyun, don't forget, you are not the Song family after all. No matter how close you are to the Song family, you will eventually leave the Song family one day. The more things you are involved in with the Song family, the less good it will be for you in the future. Isn't it?" Do you really want the Song family toAs for the things you reveal about them to others in the future, will anything be done to you? " Hearing Du Yan's words, Zhao Xiaoyun's body trembled slightly unnoticeably. Although the movement was very subtle, Du Yan still felt it. His hands couldn't help but squeeze Zhao Xiaoyun's high waist, and at the same time he whispered in her ear. He said loudly: "Xiaoyun, no matter what happens in the future, I will never give you up to anyone else. If one day you are even a member of the Song family, I won't agree to it. At best, it will be a dead end." " "Don't talk nonsense. Who said you were going to give me to someone else? It's so ugly," Zhao Xiaoyun whispered, and then she gently nestled her head on Du Yan's shoulder. This surprised Du Yan. Thinking about it carefully, this was actually a surprise. Zhao Xiaoyun took the initiative to throw himself into his arms for the first time, "I know what you mean, but our family is inseparable from the Song family. My dad, my brother and I can't be separated from the Song family even if we want to. The Song family is glorious. If we follow Zhan Guang, we will be unlucky together when the Song family falls. " Listening to Zhao Xiaoyun's somewhat helpless words, Du Yan also sighed softly. He knew that for powerful officials like the Song family, the small families that depended on them were actually no different from the servants of the old days. Especially those who have been dependent for generations, have long been tied to these powerful families whether they like it or not. As the saying goes, everyone will be prosperous and everyone will suffer. This really cannot be changed by personal will. This reminds Du Yan. Many years ago, a certain deputy commander-in-chief was defeated in a foreign country. Among the senior generals who followed him all the way until he was finally ruined, there may not be those who have two ambitions. However, whether from the perspective of history or the subsequent group circles, those people Even if you really want to get rid of it, it is impossible. If you have to get rid of it, you may even suffer fatal blows from several aspects. From this point of view, a certain air force commander who used to be the deputy commander-in-chief died early. I am quite lucky, at least I got a good death and did not end up in ruins. And how can Zhao Xiaoyun compare with those people? Although Zhao Xiaoyun seems to be extremely beautiful to outsiders, if it is like what Du Yan said. At this time, the Song family would never want to see this woman who knew so much about them leave their control and marry someone else. So what would happen? Du Yan's heart couldn't help but tremble when he thought about it. Even if you don¡¯t believe that the Song family will do anything too extreme, most likely it will be for Zhao Xiaoyun to marry a nephew of the Song family, or even simply let her become the woman of a certain Song family boss! This is the only way to avoid it! She would be worried that she would reveal the secrets of the Song family. This is something Du Yan will never accept! "Xiaoyun, don't worry, I will protect you," Du Yan hugged Zhao Xiaoyun and shook her gently, as if coaxing a child. Falling asleep "I will one day make no one dare to have an idea for you. Promise me that you will become my woman by then, okay?" " "What about Su Qian? What will you do with her? "Zhao Xiaoyun leaned into Du Yan's arms and asked in a low voice. "Su Qian," Du Yan's body stiffened slightly, and then he sighed helplessly, "I'm sorry Xiaoyun, I don't know, I really don't know what the three of us will do in the future. . " Listening to Du Yan's apologetic answer, Zhao Xiaoyun was not angry. She looked at Du Yan's face for a while, and then unexpectedly kissed him on the lips: "If you swear that you only love me now. , but I don¡¯t believe it anymore. I know that what you are telling the truth now is enough. We will talk about the future later. Now you go and have a good sleep. There are big things waiting for you to do tomorrow. " Hearing Zhao Xiaoyun's gentle words, Du Yan couldn't help but kiss her lips gently. At this time, the two people's hearts were so calm. This calmness lasted until Du Yan fell into a deep sleep. The next morning, Du Yan Yan got up early, but when he came out of the courtyard of the guest room, he saw Song Youbo's secretary Xiao Gao already standing on the path outside the court, seemingly waiting for him. "Director Du, please. follow me. "Xiao Gao smiled at Du Yan, and then led the way to the main house. In the main house, Du Yan saw Song Youbo with a red face. When he saw Du Yan, Song Youbo made a gesture to sit down casually. , after seeing Du Yan naturally pick up the bitter tea placed on the rosewood tea table next to him and take a sip, Song Youbo let out a soft sigh, "Xiao Du, although you haven't seen it, you should listen. "I said Luo Wei's husband should come to his house," Song Youbo asked and continued without waiting for Du Yan's answer. "Speaking of which, Jia Lai is deeply liked by his father. The reason is that Jia Lai is both a character and a good conductor." They are all very similar to Guoping, but no one expected that the family would go so early, otherwise there would be nothing wrong with the Yang family and the Wang family! " Du Yan listened silently. He knew that the boys from the Yang family and the Wang family that Song Youbo was talking about were respectively Yang Weiquan, the current executive vice governor of Hexi Province, and Wang Bingxu, deputy minister of agriculture.?, Du Yan already knew a lot about Yang Weiquan, and about Wang Bingchen, he knew more from later generations, but no matter what, Du Yan knew that these two people not only represented their respective families and the groups behind them, The new generation of future leaders of the forces will be strong contenders for the highest position in the future. But these two characters were just two brats to the old man in front of him. This made Du Yan have to admire the heroism of the old man in front of him, and more importantly, he knew that the old man in front of him was not talking nonsense and overestimating his abilities. , but he does have a status that can make such a comment. "It's a pity. Jiayi is a nonchalant person and doesn't like to be in politics, but that's okay. With his character, it would be of no benefit to the country or himself if he were to engage in politics." Song Youbo let out a helpless sigh, and then rubbed his hands. Huzi looked at Du Yan, and after a while he suddenly said, "You're not bad, very good." After saying that, Song Youbo stood up, smiled at Du Yan, and walked towards the yard. "Director Du, Jiawen's car is already waiting outside." Xiao Gao did not follow him. Instead, he walked up to Du Yan and smiled, took out a business card and handed it to Du Yan. "This is my phone number. If you have time, we can all Please contact me." Du Yan took the business card with both hands and looked at it, only to see that except for the three words "Gao Yubing" and a big brother number that was quite eye-catching in this era, there were no titles or titles on it. Du Yan collected the business card very solemnly, then took out a notebook and wrote down his phone number in Pingling, and then specially wrote his home phone number below: "Brother Gao, this is my contact information. I know my home phone number." There are not many people here. If you need me, please call me." Gao Yubing laughed and shook hands with Du Yan. Then he walked towards Du Yan through the two courtyards and did not stop until he was sent out of the Song family's old house. The Duke that Zhao Xiaoyun drove had already stopped at the door. When she saw Du Yan coming out, Song Jiawen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, opened the door. Then she got out of the car and looked at each other strangely as they stood on the steps to say goodbye. Two people. It wasn't until the car started that Song Jiawen turned around and looked at Du Yan sitting in the back and said, "I didn't realize that Gao Yubing was quite polite to you." "Why, you don't like Secretary Gao?" Du Yan He heard some clues from Song Jiawen's tone, so he asked casually. "Hmph, Gao Yubing is a very naughty and arrogant person. No one can look down on him around the second grandpa." Song Jiawen curled her lips slightly. Looking at Song Jiawen's cute look, Du Yan smiled slightly. But he didn't agree with Song Jiawen's evaluation of Gao Yubing. If she were someone else¡¯s secretary, she might be cunning and flamboyant with the support of her leader, as Song Jiawen said, but as someone close to Song Youbo, if the same was true, then it would be unlikely. Although he didn¡¯t have much contact with him, Du Yan felt that he already knew Song Youbo very well. He didn¡¯t believe that Song Youbo¡¯s ability to recognize people would allow such a frivolous and arrogant person to stay with him. Since the turmoil, Song Youbo did not come out again until the new century was approaching. At that time, he was already nearly ninety years old. For this kind of forbearance, how could he allow his secretary to be arrogant? " If Gao Yubing is really what Song Jiawen said, there may not be any intention of Song Youbo deliberately instructing his subordinates to show his arrogance and show it to outsiders. "Where are we going now?" Zhao Xiaoyun, who had been silent, asked. "Let's go shopping in Shanghai first," Du Yan said with a smile, "and then we'll visit Cheng Huaimin in the evening." Having said that, thinking about Zhao Xiaoyun's description of Cheng Huaimin the night before, Du Yan suddenly felt a sense of high fighting spirit in his heart. ! Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 32 Cheng Huaimin The afterglow of the setting sun painted the rows of tall buildings in the distance a deep golden color, which seemed to cast a hint of calmness over this extremely busy but somewhat flashy city. Du Yan sat in the passenger seat a little tiredly, and occasionally looked at Song Jiawen in the reflector, who was throwing away the things around him. Although he had already learned a lot about girls' shopping skills, Du Yan still had to admit that he was here. I was really not prepared enough. At least he should prepare a pair of softer shoes in advance. Du Yan thought to himself, it was hard for him to imagine how Song Jiawen could keep walking. There are many high-end shopping malls on the streets, and I even went shopping on the famous parallel import streets in Shanghai. With Song Jiawen's family background, Du Yan didn't believe that if she wanted something foreign, she wouldn't be able to get it. He just looked at the little girl running around tirelessly from stall to stall, and then looked at what would happen if it weren't for Zhao Xiaoyun, who has the responsibility of protection and has been eager to try it out for a long time, Du Yan can only lament that shopping is one of the most incomprehensible natures of women. Du Yan was no stranger to Shencheng. He had spent nearly five years here before waking up from the dream. He had even visited Minxiang Road twice for work reasons, but he never expected that However, one day I can walk on this street as a guest. Minxiang Road is known as the No. 1 road in Shanghai, not because of how prosperous this street is. In fact, this street is very quiet, and it is rare to see those luxurious RVs or cars that often appear in other parts of Shanghai. Sports cars that appear most often on this street are Audi and Santana, which are commonly seen in domestic government departments. However, some luxury cars that are usually extremely arrogant on the street have become much more honest after arriving on the people's road. Moreover, the traffic police on the street They also keep a very strict eye on these luxury cars, unlike other places, and their attitude towards the drivers is directly proportional to the price of the car. The reason for this is because Minxiang Road is the residential area of ??Shencheng City Party Committee and Municipal Government. Being a parent official at the seat of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government can be said to be a completely thankless job. Just like Tongyang, the capital of Hexi Province, Zhang Sheng's life as the secretary of the Tongyang Municipal Party Committee is much easier than that of Han Jiaqi as the mayor. After all, Zhang Sheng has a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee hanging on his head. title, which made Zhang Sheng's life much easier, but Han Jiaqi was not so lucky. Sometimes whether he could serve the bosses of the provincial party committee and provincial government well was more important than whether he could serve well as his mayor. This situation seems to be very common in China. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "if someone did evil in his previous life, the county magistrate will be attached to Guo. If he is full of evil, he will be attached to the provincial capital of Guo." However, this practice is not suitable for Shencheng in eastern Guangdong Province. As the earliest open area in China, or the only one that has been partially open to the outside world since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shanghai City has a special political status. Therefore, the weight of the Shanghai City Committee is extremely important. This has never been the case. This can be seen from the special case that the secretary is a member of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, and even the mayor of Shencheng is a member of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Government. Minxiang Road is like a big "ÖÐ" character. In addition to the main road in the middle, there are two circular streets on both sides, called Minxiang East Road and Minxiang West Road. The main leaders of Shencheng City Party Committee and Municipal Government We live in this group of villas on both sides surrounded by a huge "middle" ring road. When Zhao Xiaoyun's Duke Wang drove into the main street of Minxiang Road, the traffic police stationed at the roadside guard box had quickly written down the vehicle number, and then reported the situation of the foreign vehicle to the colleagues inside through the walkie-talkie, so even though he was driving When entering this street, I didn't encounter any obstacles, but when the Duke drove all the way, he was already being closely watched. As the car entered Minxiang Road, Du Yan clearly felt the speed of the car slowing down, which made him smile. As a girl, Zhao Xiaoyun is indeed arrogant sometimes, but she is definitely not stupid. She knows when to be cautious. It was clear, so when Duke Wang just drove onto the turnoff leading to Minxiang East Road and saw two policemen standing on the roadside in the distance raising their hands to signal, Zhao Xiaoyun cooperated and parked the car on the roadside. After a while of questioning, the Duke continued to drive towards the fork in front, and Du Yan found that there were obviously fewer vehicles on the street from here on, and from time to time, armed police could be seen standing guard on the roadside. "The cadres of the Shencheng City Committee are quite good at showing off. Even in the capital, they are not so exaggerated. They have taken over the entire street." Song Jiawen, who was sitting in the back, suddenly said something, and then curled her lips slightly. Seeing the angry young look on her face, Du Yan disapproved of it. Although Song Jiawen was different from many children from high-ranking official families, she still didn't really understand society after all. For her who lives in that circle all day long, she would never have thought that those central leaders would sometimes appear to be in harmony with ordinary people and show off behind their backs.?, what kind of performances are there? As for those leaders who really don¡¯t know the hypocrisy from time to time, no one cares about it at all. Or as someone said, it is precisely because of the good things above that there will be A farce that must be driven away. The Duke drove along the street. Du Yan noticed that the further inside, the quieter it became. When the car drove outside a courtyard surrounded by a low wall, a young man who had been waiting at the entrance of the courtyard immediately came to his attention. Bu came up. "Miss Jiawen, you are here. Secretary Cheng and Dean Liu have been waiting for you for a long time." Although he was stunned when he saw Du Yan sitting in the passenger seat, Cheng Huaimin's secretary immediately said to Song Jiawen with a smile on his face. , at the same time, he did not forget to nod to Zhao Xiaoyun. Although he did not speak to Du Yan, he nodded slightly, but there was no contempt in his expression. This made Du Yan pay attention to Cheng Huaimin, a secretary who was only a few years older than him. a bit. If the driver is the leader¡¯s leg, then the secretary is undoubtedly the leader¡¯s face. In many cases, the performance of a secretary can often show the cultivation and quality of a leader from the side. Although this is not entirely correct, it does make sense. At least it is difficult for people to imagine that an arrogant leader will have a humble secretary. . On the other hand, if a secretary can behave appropriately and understand things, it at least shows that the leader pays attention to these details. Of course, Du Yan also knew that Cheng Huaimin's secretary could treat him like this because he was related to Song Jiawen. If he had just appeared as an ordinary cadre at this time, maybe he would have been different. "Excuse me, Secretary Sun," Song Jiawen nodded lightly. At this time, she looked completely different from before. Although she still had the liveliness of a young girl, her behavior became more dignified, and she looked quite dignified. Everyone behaves like a lady. Song Jiawen's behavior seemed to Du Yan, but he had other thoughts. This secretary surnamed Sun should naturally be a close confidant of Cheng Huaimin, and as far as Du Yan knew, Song Jiawen had a very cheerful personality, so there was no need for her to pay so much attention to her appearance, and her current behavior can only mean one thing, Song Jiawen The relationship between Jia Jia and Cheng Huaimin should not be very close, at least judging from Song Jiawen's behavior, they are distant and distant. Thinking of these, Du Yan's heart was moved. In his memory, Cheng Huaimin was Xiao Aihong's ally and number one thug in Shanghai. The ending didn't seem to be very good. After Xiao Aihong entered the Guangdong Provincial Committee, Cheng Huaimin once had a brief period. The time was glorious, but not long after Xiao Aihong left eastern Guangdong, Cheng Huaimin was gradually marginalized. With the changes in the domestic political situation, after the loss of eastern Guangdong, which was originally an important place in the political map of the No. 1 faction, Cheng Huaimin's life became He became more and more sad, until later, although he saw the situation clearly and chose to give in, perhaps because he had offended too many people before, he was still unable to escape the revenge of those opponents who had long hated him, and ended up in a miserable state. A tragic end. What is strange is that since Cheng Huaimin gradually left Maicheng, Xiao Aihong has never heard of standing up for Cheng Huaimin. It seems that she just watched Cheng Huaimin gradually decline. When he saw rumors about this in his previous life, Du Yan just felt strange, but after all, he was too far away from that circle to guess the reasons. But now as he gradually understands many things, Du Yan has gradually understood Some of the keys were discovered. Perhaps, the estrangement between Cheng Huaimin and Xiao Aihong began at this time. With Du Yan thinking in his mind, Cheng Huaimin's secretary had already taken Zhao Xiaoyun to register at the gate of the courtyard. Then under his guidance, the Duke drove into the depths of the courtyard surrounded by dense green trees. After turning a few corners, the Duke finally stopped in front of a small Western-style building. When he saw a fat figure standing at the door of the small building, Du Yan immediately recognized that it was Cheng Huaimin's wife and Cheng Huaimin's secretary. As I said just now, it seems that this woman's surname is Liu, and she is the dean of some place. "Jiawen, you're here," Cheng Huaimin's wife said in a slightly exaggerated Lingnan accent when she saw Song Jiawen getting out of the car. She stretched out her fat arms to wrap around Song Jiawen's. He couldn't help but look up and down, and then made a tut-tut sound in his mouth, "Look, look, how did you give birth to this child? He is a water spirit. No wonder Ziming's child lost his soul when he saw you the first time. You You know, Ziming felt regretful after you left. He kept asking me to find you to apologize. I think the child is lovesick. " "Aunt Cheng, can you not mention Hong Ziming. , I'm here to eat the meat floss rice dumplings you made." Song Jiawen's face showed displeasure, but what she said was very flattering. This blocked Cheng Huaimin's wife's words, but it didn't make her angry at all, and then Song Jiawen turned around and pointed at Du Yan and Zhao Xiaoyun behind her and said, "ChengMom, I¡¯m bringing two friends to eat the rice dumplings you made. Are you welcome? " "Jiawen's friends, of course you are welcome. "The fat woman said and looked at Zhao Xiaoyun and Du Yan. Based on her experience, she could tell with just a quick glance that although Zhao Xiaoyun was wearing simple clothes, he was well-dressed. What was rare was that the clothes were tailor-made by hand. Du Yan was wearing ordinary street clothes, which made her look at the two people slightly different. This subtle change in Cheng Huaimin's wife did not escape Du Yan's eyes, which reminded her of Song Youbo's evaluation of Cheng Huaimin and his wife. , Du Yan felt funny at first, and then couldn't help but feel secretly moved by Song Youbo's well-informed information. It seemed that this old man, who seemed to have lived in seclusion since the Cultural Revolution because of his frustration, was obviously not telling the truth and had other thoughts. Since entering this courtyard, Du Yan has been reminding himself to be cautious. Unlike when he faced Liang Benchu ??before, although Cheng Huaimin is not as powerful as Liang Benchu ??in terms of position and authority, Du Yan reminds himself to be more alert and face Liang Benchu. Even Song Youbo said that he was a good person because when he faced Liang Benchu, after all, there was more of a tacit understanding between the two parties, but now Cheng Huaimin not only has no relationship with Du Yan, but because of his relationship with Hong Ziming. , it can be said that there are some conflicts between the two people, and what Du Yan wants to talk to Cheng Huaimin is exactly the matter of Hong Ziming, who is quite sensitive. This makes Du Yan have to remind himself at all times that when dealing with an old fox like Cheng Huaimin, We must be extremely cautious. Cheng Huaimin did not come out of the building, but only asked his wife to greet the guests at the door. In any case, he was also a department-level cadre. Although Song Jiawen had a distinguished background, she was still just a Song Dynasty. The favored descendant of three generations of his family, Cheng Huaimin always had to be more reserved, otherwise others would think that he was so desperate that he even gave up the basic dignity in order to climb high. Cheng Huaimin's home is decorated in an elegant yet simple way. , which is quite consistent with his status as the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. Seeing Song Jiawen and the others come in, Cheng Huaimin, who was sitting on the couch in the living room reading the newspaper, stood up and smiled. Speaking of which, Cheng Huaimin looked very good, if it weren't for that. As the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee with a serious face all day long, Cheng Huaimin can be regarded as an attractive middle-aged man. At least in terms of appearance, Du Yan thinks that the person who can rival Cheng Huaimin is Han Bing's father Han Qiushi. "Uncle Cheng. "Hello," Song Jiawen bowed slightly, and then handed a small box in her hand to Cheng Huaimin, "A little gift, Uncle Cheng, don't laugh at me." " "When did you, a kid, learn this trick at such a young age? Cheng Huaimin glanced at the box but didn't answer it and said with a smile, "Besides, I don't dare accept the bribe you gave me. If Mr. Song finds out about this, I will be guilty of a big sin." " "This is not a bribe. Besides, it doesn't matter if my grandfather knows about it. If he is really angry, just ask him to find my second grandfather. " "How do you say this? "Although Cheng Huaimin looked calm, Du Yan, who had been observing carefully, could still feel that his tone seemed to fluctuate slightly. "My second grandfather asked me to bring this to you. My second grandfather will never bribe you. Uncle Cheng. Song Jiawen asked mischievously. "Is it a gift from Mr. Youbo?" "Cheng Huaimin's expression changed a little. He reached out and took the box and opened it gently. What was displayed in front of Du Yan was a long stone that didn't look special. It looked a bit like someone grabbing it casually to press something. " It's really this stone." Cheng Huaimin's face showed a little surprise and a little excitement. He took the stone out of the box and looked at it again and again, and then let out a sigh, "Time flies really fast, how many years have passed. , that is, this stone has not changed at all. " After saying that, he shook his head slightly as if he was a bit sad, then put the stone on the table, and then showed an inquiring look to Du Yan and Zhao Xiaoyun behind Song Jiawen. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 33 Shanghai City Strategy (Part 1) "Uncle Cheng, Sister Xiaoyun, you have met her in the capital before," Song Jiawen briefly introduced Zhao Xiaoyun and then pointed at Du Yan, "Let me introduce, this is Du Yan, the director of the New Economic Zone in Taihua City, Hexi Province." Hearing Song Jiawen just ignored Pingling and invisibly elevated herself to the position of "municipal leader". Du Yan could not admit that even though Song Jiawen was still young, she had seen the big world and understood the rules of officialdom. For a son of a noble family, what he said was very good. "Hello, Secretary Cheng." Du Yan bowed slightly to greet Cheng Huaimin. Although Song Jiawen gave him a "promotion", whether it was as a Taihua cadre or as a junior in the officialdom, Du Yan had no respect for him. Cheng Huaimin deserves to show due respect. At this point, women like Song Jiawen who have no official status will appear more casual in such occasions. Cheng Huaimin stretched out his hand to chat with Du Yan slightly reservedly. It was normal for him to do so in his capacity. If he was too enthusiastic, it would be disrespectful. "Uncle Cheng, this time I went to the old house to see the second grandfather, and the second grandfather specifically mentioned you and Aunt Liu." Song Jiawen's big black and white eyes showed a smile that only Du Yan and Zhao Xiaoyun could understand. When Cheng Huaimin's wife heard this, she was stunned for a moment. After seeing her husband's expression of concern, she quickly said in her somewhat poor Lingnan Mandarin: "Why do you still want the second old man to take care of you? Should we go and pay homage to the old man?" "Cheng Huaimin obviously didn't pay attention to what his wife was saying. He seemed to be casually waiting for Song Jiawen to say the following words. But Song Jiawen didn't pick up the issue. She just talked to Cheng Huaimin's wife. It wasn't until a while later that she looked back at Du Yan and asked, "What did Second Grandpa say?" You should talk to Uncle Cheng. " Hearing what Song Jiawen said, Cheng Huaimin looked at Du Yan slightly differently. Although Du Yan was already a "prefecture-level cadre" at a young age, Cheng Huaimin was a little concerned, after all. There are too many young, promising and proud officials, especially among the central ministries and commissions with many personnel and huge backgrounds. There are quite a few young people who have climbed to the senior level before the age of thirty without making any noise, so Cheng Huaimin is also Not paying special attention. It was just Song Jiawen's words that made his heart move. Looking at Song Jiawen's casual tone when she spoke to Du Yan, he secretly speculated in his heart that among the senior officials in the capital, any of them had the surname Du and was related to the Song family. Good relationship. Du Yan did not expect that Song Jiawen would suddenly throw words at him. Fortunately, he had been listening carefully, so he continued what Song Jiawen said: "Second Grandpa is still concerned about Secretary Cheng's work in Shencheng, and He said that your ability to work so smoothly is inseparable from Aunt Liu's support. " At this point, Du Yan's heart suddenly moved. He noticed that Cheng Huaimin's hand was caressing the hand on the table unintentionally while he was talking. That stone, and although Du Yan was not good at such things as rare stones, he could also see that it was indeed just an ordinary stone that could not be more ordinary. But Cheng Huaimin¡¯s actions and the emotion he briefly showed when he saw the stone showed that the stone obviously had some origins. Thinking of Song Youbo¡¯s experiences during the Cultural Revolution many years ago, Du Yan seemed to have caught something at this moment. Time no longer allowed him to think about it further, so Du Yan decided to take a risk! Thinking of this, he said calmly in a purely conveying tone: "Second Grandpa also said that when people get old, it is easy to think about things in the past. When I think about it, I feel that it is not easy to get to this point. Huai Min is good. " Hearing this, Cheng Huaimin's always calm face showed a brief fluctuation. His eyes couldn't help but glance at the stone at hand, and then he let out a faint sigh. Then his expression returned to its previous calmness, and he showed his usual smile: "Xiao Wen, it's a rare time for you to come here. Your Aunt Liu has been waiting for you to eat the meat floss rice dumplings she made. Let's do this. , let¡¯s eat first, and we¡¯ll talk after dinner if we have anything to say.¡± Song Jiawen smiled and nodded. Seeing Aunt Liu stand up and go to the kitchen, she stood up and pulled Zhao Xiaoyun to follow her. "You will only cause trouble if you follow me. Can you still eat the rice dumplings you made?" Du Yan said casually as Song Jiawen shouted that she wanted to make some rice dumplings with her own hands. Speaking of which, although he had not seen Song Jiawen again since his last dance with Song Jiawen at the Blue Dot Disco in the capital, Du Yan had a good impression of this girl who came from a prominent background but was not arrogant. Compared with the second and third generations who often show off their wealth or fight for their fathers, Song Jiawen at this time, apart from being a bit rebellious and naughty, has nothing objectionable about her, so Du Yan talks to her casually. But when Cheng Huaimin heard his words, he had another meaning.He looked at the two young people in front of him thoughtfully, and then said with a smile: "Let them tinker with it. At most, they will go out to eat if they mess up. Whatever they like." Hearing what Cheng Huaimin said, Du Yan couldn't talk anymore. What, and he also noticed that Cheng Huaimin was looking at the two of them with a scrutinizing gaze, which made Du Yan immediately become wary. It was one thing to take advantage of Song Youbo's influence to get in touch with Cheng Huaimin. If it was because Cheng Huaimin misunderstood , and if there are rumors about her relationship with Song Jiawen, then not only will the gains outweigh the losses, there may even be serious consequences! At this point, Du Yan saw it very clearly. "Xiao Du, are you in charge of the new economic zone in Taihua?" Cheng Huaimin asked casually when there were only two people left in the living room. "Yes, Secretary Cheng. The new district is mainly located in Pingling County, Taihua City. Although the new district has been established for some time, there are still many shortcomings in attracting investment. We can only make use of the existing local resources. At this level of resources, although we have great resources and geographical advantages, without large-scale capital injection, everything will still be a big problem." Hearing Du Yan introduce his work, Cheng Huaimin looked at the young people in front of him. Guessing his relationship with the Song family, he nodded slightly: "Are you here to participate in the Spring Fair?" "That's right," Du Yan nodded first, then showed a slightly meaningful smile, "No." " Are you here to see Jiawen?" Cheng Huaimin asked casually, as if joking. "No, no, Secretary Cheng, you misunderstood," Du Yan knew that his actions had attracted Cheng Huaimin's attention. He immediately accepted it and stopped Cheng Huaimin from having other ideas. Speaking of letting Zhao Youxun become his brother-in-law, he was not willing to accept it. No matter how worried, but when she thought that if Song Jiayi heard the rumor that he had become her brother-in-law, she would be in big trouble. "I came here this time to buy a few cars for the new district. We can't afford them ourselves, but at least we have to support the scene." , if a foreign-funded company comes to inspect, we can't let them ride in the old Jeep with us, so the district is willing to pay for it. I'm not afraid to let you know. I heard that there are cheaper imported cars in Shanghai. Let's take a look first." Du Yan said, secretly observing Cheng Huaimin's expression. Sure enough, when he heard Du Yan mentioning imported cars, the expression on Cheng Huaimin's face changed slightly. "Cheap imported cars, aren't they smuggled? Now some people call them parallel imports, but the name is nice," Cheng Huaimin asked lightly. "It's troublesome for you to pick up that kind of car. The procedures are not complete and it has to be transported over a long distance. It's a little slow on the road." "Secretary Cheng, you are right, there are quite a lot of these problems, and we were a little worried at first, but I heard that there are many people who sell cars here, and they can not only guarantee the number of cars, but also All the formalities are taken care of." At this point, Du Yan saw Cheng Huaimin unconsciously pick up the cigarette case from the table, so he walked up and picked up the lighter next to him, deliberately flipping it casually with a very fancy movement. He lighted the fire and lit it for Cheng Huaimin, and then he said in a somewhat disappointed tone, "But it would be better if I didn't come this time. If I come this time, there will be no chance of the negotiation." "Oh? What's going on? Cheng Huaimin asked as he watched Du Yan playing with the lighter in his hand seemingly carelessly, and was even more confused about Du Yan's identity. Although some new gadgets in this era have already emerged in the south with the opening up, even among those who first became rich, most of them not only did not get rid of the mentality of the nouveau riche, but many of them still looked scumbag, fashionable or in other words Petty bourgeoisie was not popular at this time, so when Cheng Huaimin saw Du Yan playing with lighters so skillfully, he couldn't help but think of the real young men he had met. Thinking of Du Yan and Song Jiawen's rather casual attitude, he thought more about Du Yan's background. "Perhaps the seller and I have a natural conflict. Not only did we get into a fight over a trivial matter when we just arrived in Shanghai and we didn't even know each other, plus we had another conflict with him at the White Swan Hotel yesterday, I guess it's impossible for him to sell the car. "Give it to me." "Wait, what did you say?" Cheng Huaimin leaned forward on the back of the chair, and then looked at Du Yan with bright eyes, "Who is the seller you are talking about?" Du Yan deliberately looked at Cheng Huaimin with some embarrassment, and then whispered, "I'm not sure whether it's him or not, but the person who introduced him said that this person holds the line, and he will always follow his path to some extent. "Seeing Cheng Huaimin's slightly downcast expression, Du Yan said with some embarrassment, "It's Hong Ziming, but I just heard someone introduce him, so I'm not sure whether it's him or not." "Oh, that's just a rumor. ," Cheng Huaimin's tone seemed indifferent, but the look he looked at Du Yan was slightly stern. "Xiao Du, it's better to do more practical work at work. As long as the conditions there are good, you don't have to worry about whether you can come or not. ?As for capital, on the contrary, even if you have a good car but there is no specific construction plan, and there is no actual preferential policy for the audience, other capitalists will not throw money at you. The most important thing is to be down-to-earth. " "As for what you pointed out, Secretary Cheng, I have gained some experience in Shanghai this time. It seems that development is the last word." Hearing Cheng Huaimin's vague hint, Du Yan knew that this topic should be discussed. This stopped, he casually borrowed the famous sentence in the Southern Tour speech to find a way out. Seeing Cheng Huaimin looking over thoughtfully after hearing this sentence, Du Yan explained with a smile, "The chief is speaking to us. He studied very seriously, so almost every cadre could borrow a few quotes from his speech. " Cheng Huaimin nodded noncommittally. Looking at his calm expression, Du Yan knew that Cheng Huaimin must be very uneasy at this time. " What surprised Du Yan slightly was that although Cheng Huaimin's wife didn't look so smart, she even Even the position of deputy director of a district hospital in Shencheng may have been taken because of Cheng Huaimin, but she does have some skills in cooking. And because she is the lover of the leader after all, she naturally has a bad eye for dealing with people after a long time. It's not that simple. Although she didn't like Du Yan very much at first, from the casual relationship between Song Jiawen, Zhao Xiaoyun and Du Yan, and the rare fact that her husband actually chatted with this young man for a while. Cheng Huaimin's wife noticed something, so her attitude towards Du Yan improved a lot during the meal. However, the meal was really boring. Cheng Huaimin remained silent. Although my wife was chatting and laughing with Song Jiawen and Zhao Xiaoyun, Cheng Huaimin seemed a bit dull because of his silence and seriousness. And because they were not familiar with each other, she and Du Yan didn't have much to say to each other. She just heard that Du Yan After staying in the Song family's old house for a night, her attitude became closer, and she vaguely brought Du Yan and Song Jiawen together, which made Cheng Huaimin, who was already serious, seem a little more His expression was gloomy. After eating such a meal, time naturally passed quickly. After a few words of chatting and leaving, Cheng Huaimin unexpectedly sent them from the living room to the foyer before stopping. " Xiao Du, you quoted the chief's saying that development is the last word and applied it very well. The key is to do your job well. "When they broke up, Cheng Huaimin said meaningfully to Du Yanruo. "I will definitely remember your teachings, Secretary Cheng. "Du Yan bowed slightly to Cheng Huaimin. When shaking hands, he felt that Cheng Huaimin's hand was much stronger than when they met. After sitting in the Duke King, after driving a distance, Song Jiawen, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly felt inexplicable. He said: "Hypocrisy. " Seeing in the rearview mirror that Song Jiawen was looking at him and saying these words, Du Yan just smiled. He knew that although a girl like Song Jiawen came from a wealthy official family, she was still young after all, and she also Because of her prominent background, it was inevitable that she would be a little arrogant, and naturally she could not stand the hypocrisy of flattery between superiors and subordinates in the officialdom, especially after knowing that she was actually trying to get through Cheng Huaimin. After resolving the conflict with Hong Ziming, she couldn't stand her deliberate efforts to please her. Perhaps in Song Jiawen's eyes, she was no different from those who flattered her, but Du Yan didn't want to explain. Song Jiawen's prominent family background allows her to ignore others, but Du Yan, who comes from the bottom, will never be as naive as her. But this time she came to see Cheng Huaimin not to reconcile with Hong Ziming through him, although Hong Ziming relied on him. Xiao Aihong is the dominant figure in Shanghai, but Du Yan doesn't take him seriously. Du Yan knows very well that for a playboy like Hong Ziming, if he doesn't have the power in his family, he really means nothing. , and may even be more miserable than ordinary civilians. He came to see Cheng Huaimin today. Although it was only for a brief moment, he believed that it was impossible not to see Cheng Huaimin's scheming. He obviously intended to reveal Hong Ziming's involvement in car smuggling. The result of what is said to be the largest car smuggling case in the early 1990s was to involve Teng Shigao, who although he had been relegated to the second line, but had a huge reputation both in the military and in the Central Advisory Committee, and then used this as an opportunity to Whether it was in the military or in the political arena, the entire southwest political landscape changed dramatically. It was even because of this incident that it finally became the trigger for the demise of the Central Advisory Committee. As for whether Hong Ziming was serious at this time. was carrying out a car smuggling transaction, but Du Yan was not worried. From the secrets of the past revealed by later generations, Du Yan had long known that Hong Ziming at this time was relying on Xiao Aihong's power to engage in the car smuggling business unscrupulously. Make a lot of money in business,??Even if he doesn't have a car that happens to be being resold right now, he must have been involved in it a long time ago. Thinking about the resume of Hong Ziming that was exposed in later generations, it should have happened not long after, that is, not long after the car smuggling case was solved. Du Yan almost guessed that this may be the result of Xiao Aihong's attempt to let Hong Ziming avoid the limelight. . How would Cheng Huaimin tell Xiao Aihong this news? Du Yan thought about it secretly. If it was as he suspected, in his previous life, Cheng Huaimin failed to find out in time that Hong Ziming was involved in this widely involved car smuggling case, which forced Xiao Aihong to let his son stay away from the north, which led to the two incidents. There is a gap between individuals, so this time Du Yan can be said to have helped Cheng Huaimin fill the loophole that caused a rift between him and Xiao Aihong. Du Yan believed that Cheng Huaimin owed him a small favor. Fortunately, the unexpected night spent at the Song family's old house gave him more chips, and he was more interested in him. The speculation about the relationship with the Song family made Cheng Huaimin not only pay more attention to Du Yan's words, but also inevitably have to think more about whether this was the instruction of the Song family. This is exactly what Du Yan needs. If the daughter-in-law who met Teng Shiyuan before thought of the car smuggling case and then thought of contacting Xiao Aihong through Chu Yilan, then now the method of passing the news to Cheng Huaimin through the Song family would be Du Yan was even more satisfied. ¡°As has happened in history, Teng Shigao will obviously leave the political center sadly in this life because of his involvement in the car smuggling case. What will follow will be a series of huge shocks to the domestic power structure. Du Yan was very clear about this result. Although in his opinion, both the victors who marched forward singing triumphant songs in this struggle and the group of people who were completely defeated and fell into despair were essentially the same thing. But this This does not prevent him from standing on the side destined to win. Now, with the meeting with Song Youbo, who can be called the think tank of the Song family, Du Yan's weight in the minds of some people is naturally very different. Thinking of this, Du Yan's heart moved and he turned slightly to look at Zhao Xiaoyun next to him. Song Jiawen might have casually brought her to the Song family's old house without knowing the importance of it, but Du Yan believed that Zhao Xiaoyun would not make such an obvious mistake because of his caution. of. But Zhao Xiaoyun never raised any objections from beginning to end, and even gave himself any hint of refusal. What does that mean? Doesn't it mean that his trip to the Song family's old house was actually just a matter of course and even allowed? So who can make Song Youbo agree to see him? Du Yan first thought of Qiao Luowei, but then he rejected the idea. Although Qiao Luowei is quite trusted in the Song family, his status is too special after all, and it is inconvenient for him to speak up for himself in such matters. Even if he wanted to help him, he just mentioned it to Song Youbo. It would not be that simple to get someone like Song Youbo to agree! Who else could it be? Du Yan thought about it for a while and then gave up. Since the Song family is willing to let him see Song Youbo, it obviously means that someone has started to really pay attention to him. This is naturally a good thing for Du Yan, especially at this time, it makes him believe and understand this more and more. He looked in the rearview mirror, only to find that Song Jiawen had fallen asleep in the corner of the car seat with her eyes closed. Du Yan looked outside the car, looking at the dark night outside, but in his heart I think, tonight in Shanghai, many people are destined to be unable to sleep. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 34 Shanghai City Strategy (Part 2) When I returned to the provincial station to apply for the event, it was already very late. Zhao Xiaoyun did not send Du Yan directly to the door of the Provincial Consulate, but stopped the car at a street corner not far away. What happened in the past few days was a bit confusing. No one could have imagined that a business trip that was just a routine matter or even a public trip would actually involve so many things. Du Yan could imagine those people currently stationed in Taihua in the bid. No matter how much discussion there was, as for whether Taihua had received the news now, that was no longer Du Yan's concern. He was only concerned about the big event that might happen at any time. In comparison, the provincial office application was much more impressive. Because of sufficient funds, Hexi Province not only bought a large seven-story hotel on Zhonghua Road in Shanghai, where land is very expensive, but also later bought a bungalow behind the hotel. Downstairs, after demolition and renovation, a small second floor with high specifications was built as a way to receive provincial leaders. To Du Yan's surprise, when he walked into the front lobby of the hotel, he accidentally saw Chu Yilan sitting in the cafe next to him. She was sitting in a chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looking blankly at the street scene outside. Chu Yilan and Du Yan felt that the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee who had taken off his disguise at this time would appear calmer and more like a woman. Du Yan hesitated a little and was about to go upstairs, but his stop attracted Chu Yilan's attention. At this time, the hotel was already very quiet, but suddenly a person came in and stood out. Seeing Du Yan, Chu Yilan's lips twitched slightly, but no sound came out. Du Yan could no longer pretend not to see it and went upstairs like this. He walked into the coffee shop and sat across from Chu Yilan. He saw the table Taking two empty sugar packets, Du Yan knew that Chu Yilan must have been sitting here for some time. "You haven't rested yet, Secretary-General Chu?" Du Yan asked. Seeing that Chu Yilan seemed expressionless but looking at her with inquiring eyes, Du Yan simply sat across from her so that she could See more clearly for yourself. Speaking of which, Du Yan really didn't expect that Chu Yilan was actually the daughter of Chu Ping, the former secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Hexi Province. If Zhao Xiaoyun hadn't told him the news on the way back, Du Yan would never have thought that there would be such a person. A typical person wants to come to Pingling to work with him. This also made Du Yan feel very strange! In the past, Du Yan had almost no impression of Chu Ping except that he was the predecessor of Feng Zhenhuai, the current Secretary of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee. However, later, he learned from some reports about the past of Hexi Province that he had been speculated in the past few years. The quite prosperous railway project in Hexi Province was established during Chu Ping's term. Unfortunately, due to financial reasons, this large-scale railway project, which was finally approved by the central ministries and commissions after a lot of hard work, was not completed after construction started. It didn't take long for the country to catch up with the financial policy of active intervention, which began to tighten money. Just in this way, the provincial railway project, which has become the largest unfinished project in Hexi Province, has become the last big move left by Chu Ping to future generations. Although in fact, when the railway project actually started to be implemented, Chu Ping Chu Ping has retired from the position of Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and entered the Provincial People's Congress for retirement. As one of the successive secretaries of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee, except for the aborted railway project, Chu Ping has left little impression on future generations. . Perhaps because his work was not outstanding, after the expiration of his term as secretary, Chu Ping was not able to enjoy the deputy national-level treatment of the National People's Congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Instead, he became the Provincial People's Congress of Hexi Province. The director can be regarded as stepping into a second-line leadership position where he can exert his spare energy. For such a seemingly mediocre secretary of the provincial party committee, Du Yan naturally did not have a deep impression. If it weren't for Liang Benchu, the organization director of the Hexi Provincial Committee, who had some contacts with Chu Ping's son Chu Yijun, Du Yan would have I didn't even think that I could have any interaction with Director Chu, but now it seems that things are a bit subtle. It is understandable for a provincial and ministerial leader like Chu Ping to arrange a good position for his family members when he takes office, and to make some requests to the organization to raise the level of his children before he retires. Not too much. After all, the so-called "people have to take care of themselves". As long as it doesn't interfere with others, no one is really willing to do that kind of immoral thing, which is to sell favors for no reason and offend the old leader for no reason. , after all, the director of the Provincial People's Congress is still one of the big bosses of the four teams in the province, not to mention that the former secretary still has some residual power, and the close relatives cannot be ignored. If he does it too well, it will inevitably make others think the opposite. Therefore, whether it is Chu Yijun or Chu Yilan, if they are assigned to take a practical position in an agency directly under the provincial party committee or in a county or city below, there will be nothing too blinking. According to the currently popular method Leaders are also human beings, and they also have seven emotions and six desires, a popular saying. This kind of small specialness is really nothing. OnlyBut Chu Ping did not do this. He arranged for his son Chu Yijun to be Liang Benchu's secretary. According to Zhao Xiaoyun, Chu Yilan will be transferred to the whirlpool of Pingling soon. This series of events This move made Du Yan feel that Chu Ping's arrangements could no longer be taken as simple. Du Yan himself is a secretary, and because of this he understands the importance that leaders attach to secretaries who are people around him. At least no leader is willing to use someone with a complicated background and ambiguous social relations as a secretary. From this point of view alone, there is really no reason for Liang Benchu ??to use Chu Yijun, the son of the former secretary of the provincial party committee, as his secretary. After all, Liang Benchu ??came down from the central government, and it is unlikely that he would use a leader of a certain faction as soon as he came up. His son became his secretary. Even if he belonged to the same faction as this person, he couldn't make it so obvious. But Liang Benchu ??chose Chu Yijun as his secretary, which was already very strange. As for Chu Yilan, who had been serving as the deputy secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee in Taihua, it was even rumored at this time that he might come to Pingling Du Yan believed that it would have been impossible if Chu Ping's consent or even support had not been obtained. Because everyone knows that Pingling is obviously a big pit at this time. No matter how bold and reckless Taihua's leaders are, they dare not push Chu Ping's daughter into this pit so openly. Thinking about it this way, Du Yan really can¡¯t believe it if Chu Ping, the outgoing provincial party committee secretary, didn¡¯t have a hand in Hexi Province¡¯s current political situation, which seems to be a mess. Because of this, seeing Chu Yilan's current appearance, Du Yan felt it was necessary to take advantage of this rare opportunity to explore Miss Chu's thoughts. " Du Yan was thinking about this in his mind, and his eyes couldn't help but stay on Chu Yilan. After looking at it, he realized that Deputy Secretary-General Chu had a really good figure. Because it was night, Chu Yilan put on quite casual clothes. It was already quite warm in Shanghai in early April, so she only wore a dark blue velvet blouse on her upper body. The hem of the slightly elastic blouse was tied into a pair of clothes. In the plaid skirt, a very wide belt was tied around his waist, making his waist look plump without losing its undulations. Because the arm holding the coffee cup was raised, the clothes on Chu Yilan's chest were slightly stretched. In this way, the dark blue velvet blouse stretched her chest like an undulating blue ocean. The two crests of the waves The deep valleys between them look like impenetrable trenches in the ocean. Chu Yilan, who put down the cup, seemed to realize that Du Yan's eyes were wrong, and a layer of frost appeared on her face. However, after a while, for some reason, the dissatisfied look on her face slowly faded away. At the same time, she looked at After Du Yan was silent for a while, he said calmly: "I can't tell, Secretary Cui is still very concerned about you." Hearing Chu Yilan's unreasonable words, Du Yan's heart jumped immediately. He knew that Chu Yilan was very concerned about you. The Secretary Cui Yilan mentioned should be Cui Jianbin, Secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee. Speaking of which, when he thought of Cui Jianbin transferring him from Pingling at the critical moment, and even staying in Taihua, he seemed uneasy and sent him to the south. Du Yan himself didn't believe it if he said he had no resentment in his heart, but he also knew that this was There is nothing that can be done about it. Cui Jianbin did nothing to criticize in this matter. On the contrary, there was a good reason to boldly appoint young cadres. As for doing so, it was purely to remove Du Yan from confronting Pingling Heavy Machinery. The fact that the company was revealed in the asset review of the factory is well known to everyone, but it cannot be mentioned on the table at all. This is the so-called conspiracy, and anyone who can use this method skillfully needs not only a strong scheming, but more importantly, to realize this method that even if you know it is a trap, you still have to jump into it, then It requires enough power that the opponent cannot escape. Otherwise, even if there is a well-designed method, if the other party ignores it, it will be in vain. Thinking of this, Du Yan suddenly felt that he seemed to have overlooked a crucial thing before, that is, the most critical condition of domestic officialdom, power! Du Yan always thought that he should do something that he would not regret, but in fact, after several ups and downs, he discovered that the key to accomplishing things lies in the power in his hands. At this moment, Du Yan faced Chu Yilan's beautiful face, but his heart kept churning, thinking that whether it was Cui Jianbin or Zhang Wenliang, he would be overwhelmed if he just moved his fingers casually, or even the person in front of him who seemed to be nothing but Deputy Secretary-General Chu, who has a slightly cold personality but looks pretty, may be transferred to Pingling at any time, which will have an impact on his situation. Du Yan has to admit that power is really important in reality. It's feared and coveted. "I called the city during the day," Chu Yilan looked into Du Yan's eyes, and then frowned slightly unhappily. She found that Du Yan seemed to be a little absent-minded.What he said was not that serious, which made Chu Yilan feel a little embarrassed. "As for your temporary stay in the provincial station to apply for a good liaison for Huachang Group in Taihua's investment promotion work in Shanghai, I have already contacted you." Secretary Cui reported." After hearing Chu Yilan's words, Du Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and wanted to smile, but seeing Chu Yilan's serious expression, he knew that if he laughed at this time, he might be blamed for letting Chu Da. The lady was embarrassed and made her angry. Offending a Chu Yilan was the next worst thing, but when he thought that she would go to Pingling soon and would probably become his supervisor, Du Yan felt that it would be better for him to restrain himself. It¡¯s just that the expression on his face has been slightly revealed. In the eyes of Chu Yilan, who has been watching people in the agency all year round, he can guess that Du Yan is actually laughing secretly at this time. This made Chu Yilan feel annoyed again. In fact, when she reported her work to Cui Jianbin during the day, she already knew that Deputy Mayor Kuang had already reported to Cui Jianbin what had happened in Taihua's bid for office, or in other words, had filed a complaint. Not too big or too small. This is not because Deputy Mayor Kuang has any hostility towards Chu Yilan, but as a subordinate of Mayor Ren Shuqiang, Deputy Mayor Kuang has suffered some losses from Chu Yilan several times. This time Chu Yilan just After encountering such an incident upon arriving in Shanghai, Deputy Mayor Kuang naturally felt that he had a handle on him, so he naturally wanted to file a lawsuit. In addition, Chu Yilan can also guess that although he does not have high hopes for the business negotiations at the Shanghai Spring Fair, Deputy Mayor Kuang still hopes that this small political achievement will be credited to himself, so he borrowed the opportunity to It is understandable that he wants to use this incident to hit Chu Yilan and show that the investment promotion is his own credit. So when Chu Yilan reported to Cui Jianbin, she was mentally prepared to be severely criticized. But Chu Yilan didn't expect that Cui Jianbin didn't seem to be very concerned about their affairs in Shanghai. On the contrary, when she met Zhao Xiaoyun at the Provincial Office, she said that she and Du Yan had separated from the Taihua business group. It was to strengthen services for Taihua Huachang Group in attracting investment in Shanghai. Cui Jianbin gave a low and noncommittal "hmm". This made Chu Yilan feel a little confused after she breathed a sigh of relief. However, when she reported other things, Cui Jianbin's seemingly casual words caught Chu Yilan's attention. "Comrade Du Yan is quite cooperative with you. You need to guide him more in his work. He is more familiar with the affairs in Huachang, so let him be more responsible." Cui Jianbin said seemingly casually at the time. If it were other people, they might just ignore this seemingly ordinary instruction, but when Chu Yilan heard this, she couldn't help but have a few thoughts flash in her mind. Although she was only the deputy secretary-general, after all, she had been responsible for the leadership of the municipal party committee for several years. Their habits are somewhat familiar, not to mention the influence of being around her father all year round, which also allowed her to instinctively develop a very sensitive political sense. Based on Chu Yilan¡¯s understanding of Cui Jianbin, she didn¡¯t believe that Cui Jianbin would care about a cadre from the county below for no reason. Although this cadre was young and promising, Cui Jianbin would never care too much about him. Now Cui Jianbin's question seemed casual, but if you think about it carefully, you can find that there was a vague concern in the inquiry, which made Chu Yilan immediately have a new understanding of Du Yan. Thinking that she might go down to Pingling at any time, Chu Yilan immediately called home after putting down Cui Jianbin¡¯s phone number. Since arriving in Taihua, Chu Yilan rarely calls home except when she goes home on weekends. When she hears her father's voice, the grievances she has felt over the past few days seem to be about to burst out at that moment, but she tries her best to let herself After her emotions stabilized, she didn't want her father to know what happened to her in Shanghai, and she didn't want her father to be in trouble because of Hong Ziming. When Chu Yilan briefly told her situation in Shanghai and then relayed what Cui Jianbin said on the phone, there was a slight silence on the other side of the phone, and then Chu Ping's slightly hoarse voice came: " Xiaolan, I won¡¯t tell you some things because I hope you won¡¯t be affected by my judgment on things. After all, we old people can¡¯t escape some things, but you young people are different. Even You and your brother are different. Your brother is destined to wallow in the whirlpool of Hexi, otherwise I would not recommend him to Liang Benchu. And even if you go to Pingling, you still have room for maneuver, but now it seems Come on, some things are not as simple as you think" Chu Yilan remembered her father's slightly lonely tone when he said these words. Even though he was thousands of miles away, her father's voice coming from the microphone made her feel a little warm. , but the content of her father's words made her secretly worried. Looking at Du Yan in front of her now, Chu Yilan found it hard to believe that such a young man would be performing in Taihua and even Hexi Province just as his father told her on the phone.One of the key figures in a big drama, although her brother Chu Yijun had warned her before, she still couldn't believe it. Just remembering her father's instructions, she still followed Chu Ping's instructions and said calmly: "Secretary Cui is very concerned about your work. He also specifically asked you on the phone whether you would adapt to the environment here." At this point, Chu Ping said Yilan looked at Du Yan's face seriously, but this time she was a little disappointed. Du Yan's face showed no other expression except listening carefully. He looked like a good student who listened carefully. Chu Yilan decided not to play riddles with Du Yan anymore. Although she knew that saying it so directly seemed a bit rude, but when she thought that she was about to be sent to Pingling, and when she thought about Cui Jianbin's unusual concern for Du Yan, Chu Yilan felt that it was still a bit offensive. As my father told me, it is better to explain some things clearly. "I've seen Secretary Ding from Pingling before when he was working in the province," Chu Yilan said in a calm tone. She saw that Du Yan showed a slightly surprised look because of her words, and she felt a little bit in her heart. He nodded secretly with satisfaction, "Secretary Ding used to work under my father when he was in the province." Du Yan nodded slightly. Only then did he finally know who the person behind Ding Bingxian was. Although many people have long said that there was someone behind Ding Bingxian when he was working in the province, but people did not expect that it was Chu Ping. Counting the days, Du Yan suddenly remembered that it should be Chu Ping who was in charge of the province's industry. When he was deputy secretary of economic work, Ding Bingxian happened to be in the Provincial Planning Department at that time. But what people can¡¯t understand is that if this was the case, when Ding Bingxian was most disappointed, why would Chu Ping turn a blind eye to him and allow him to be transferred back to his hometown in Pingling? Thinking of this, Du Yan secretly felt puzzled, but he knew that unless he asked Ding Bingxian directly, even Chu Yilan might not know about this matter. "Aren't you curious at all about who my father is?" Chu Yilan picked up the cup on the table and took a sip. "Or do you already know it?" "It's not like I knew it a long time ago. I just heard about it just now. ," Du Yan replied casually, "If you have a chance, ask Secretary Chu for me." Hearing Du Yan's seemingly casual greeting, I thought of his brother's seemingly taboo attitude towards this young man, and Cui Jianbin's unusual attitude. Chu Yilan even had the urge to ask him, "Who are you?" A heavy bell sounded from the lobby. Chu Yilan instinctively looked at the watch on her wrist. When she found that it was already ten o'clock, a look of tiredness could not help but hit her cheeks. She elegantly raised her hand to cover her nap. She yawned a little, and when she saw Du Yan standing up with interest, she took the opportunity to say hello to Du Yan. When Du Yan said that he wanted to sit for a while, she ignored him and turned around to walk to the elevator alone. . Looking at Chu Yilan's back, Du Yan pondered for a moment and then waved to the waiter at the bar in the distance. After ordering a cup of coffee, he followed Chu Yilan's example and faced the woman who seemed to have fallen asleep outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Shen Cheng was slightly distracted. Chu Yilan suddenly disclosed her background to him, which really surprised Du Yan. As for the fact that Ding Bingxian was actually someone on Chu Ping's line earlier, he did not expect it. However, all this was connected with the news revealed by Chu Yilan that Cui Jianbin cared about him very much. Du Yan felt vaguely that he had caught a certain line that seemed to be looming. If in later generations Chu Ping only left the impression of a mediocre secretary due to the unexpected failure of the railway project, then at present, the railway project that Chu Ping led before is actually still in the application project approval stage pending approval. But at this time, Chu Ping successively recommended his son to Liang Benchu, and then sent his daughter to Pingling, a remote rural area. This made Du Yan unable to believe that everything was just a coincidence. In other words, perhaps just as I had unintentionally stirred up the restructuring of the Heavy Machinery Factory and triggered so many things later, in fact, the changes in Pingling and its gradually revealed role in the future cross-provincial economic bridge strategy have just changed the original The thoughts of Chu Ping who should have dared to be silent! This place, Pingling, is really a gathering place for the wind and cloud. Du Yan sighed secretly in his heart. He picked up the coffee cup on the table and just took a sip. A faint sound of sirens from far to near broke the silence of the night. As the police car with dazzling police lights flashed at the door of the hotel, After stopping, several police officers immediately jumped out of the car and walked into the hotel. Du Yan drank coffee slowly and watched the policemen get on the elevator after asking the front desk for a while. He turned back and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window. Not long after, as the elevator door opened again, under the surprised gazes of the guests and hotel employees who were still in the lobby, a man who looked slightly embarrassed even though he was wearing a suit and leather shoesThe man was brought out, and behind him, there was a disheveled woman with heavy makeup following behind in fear. What surprised many people, including this woman, was that the police just escorted the businessman-looking man into the police car. When the woman was pitifully about to follow him into the car, the door of the police car slammed. Closed. Under the surprised gazes of the people around, the man could be vaguely heard from the open car window asking loudly, "Didn't you catch me for prostitution? Why is she okay?" The piercing siren sounded again, and then With the police lights flashing, the police car roared all the way out of the hotel and drove into the night. Looking at the police car going away and listening to the faint sound of sirens in the distance, Du Yan laughed softly. He knew that as he revealed to Cheng Huaimin the news that Hong Ziming was suspected of reselling smuggled cars, that scene was supposed to happen in the spring. The operation against smuggled cars, which will only begin after the meeting, must have started in advance. Whether it is Cheng Huaimin or Xiao Aihong, they must not let this matter involve Hong Ziming, and they know the news about Ye Changmengduo, which is destined to have a quick solution to the anti-smuggling car case. Now it seems that my days in the next few days will be completely different. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 35: Get up early in the morning In the early morning, a rapid ringing of the phone woke up Du Yan, who was sleeping deeply. He woke up from a slightly vague dream. Du Yan, who was not fully awake for a while, couldn't help but reach out and rub his aching head. Perhaps because he drank too much coffee the night before, Du Yan suffered from insomnia last night and fell asleep just before dawn. However, this gave him time to recall what happened in the past two years. After waking up from the dream, his destiny has undergone tremendous changes. He was originally at the bottom of his destiny at this time, but he is now walking on a strange road that is completely different from his previous life. As the trajectory of his life changes, what will happen on this road? What is happening has become increasingly elusive. The phone on the bedside still kept ringing stubbornly. Du Yan was now fully awake. He picked up the phone and heard Chu Yilan's slightly impatient voice: "Why did you answer the phone?" "Yesterday It's late." Du Yan replied vaguely. "Hurry up and get ready. We are going to register for the Spring Fair today." Although Chu Yilan's tone was not cold, it was slightly distant and completely businesslike, as if the two of them had shared experiences a few days ago. As if it had never happened, she added, "I just had a phone call with Deputy Mayor Kuang. We are moving faster. Delegations from other cities have already signed up." "Okay, Secretary Chu. "Mr." Du Yan's tone was a little stiff. It was said that Chu Yilan had been lukewarm towards him since last night, which made him somewhat disgusted with Miss Chu. Putting down the phone, Du Yan sat up and got dressed in a hurry, but then he sat on the edge of the bed and began to carefully recall the conversation with Chu Yilan the night before. Although the two of them didn't talk much the night before, Chu Yilan vaguely mentioned the seemingly close relationship between her father Chu Ping and Ding Bingxian, which naturally attracted Du Yan's attention. In addition, she hinted that the Taihua Municipal Party Committee Secretary Cui Jianbin's attention to Du Yan and these two things made Du Yan realize that Chu Yilan was preparing for her upcoming appointment in Pingling. Although there have always been rumors that Ding Bingxian's comeback was related to a certain leader in the province, because he knew the relationship between Li Peizheng and Ding Bingxian, in Du Yan's mind, he always believed that Ding Bingxian came back because of Li Peizheng's urging. Cheer up. But now Du Yan no longer thinks so. The news that Chu Yilan is about to take up a post in Pingling made him realize that Ding Bingxian's ability to resume his official career must have something to do with Chu Ping. Thinking of what happened in Pingling in the past year or so, Du Yan gradually understood the big and small things. The importance of Pingling seemed to have attracted people's attention. If the restructuring of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory was just an opportunity for some people to test the depths of the water, then what would happen next? With the gradual implementation of the cross-provincial economic bridge project, Ethernet's role as a hub connecting economic blocks in the mainland has attracted the attention of some people, and Pingling is undoubtedly the core of this economic hub. The importance of Pingling is gradually emerging. Although the overall economic level has not improved much, Du Yan believes that for those who are familiar with the country's development policies for the mainland in the next few years, this is a good opportunity. If If you cannot insert your own people in advance, then you will naturally not get any benefits when dividing the cake in the future. Chu Ping transferred his daughter to Pingling at this time. This was obviously with the intention of picking peaches. Anyone who knows a little bit about this also knows that although Chu Ping did this somewhat ugly, it is thought that he can make people His son became Liang Benchu's secretary, which shows that Chu Ping is not what his appearance makes people think, he is just a mediocre former provincial party secretary. On the contrary, this man is almost cunning and far-sighted. This can only be seen from the fact that he has been an active advocate of the inter-provincial railway project during his tenure. But Du Yan also knew very well that although Gao Ke, the current governor of Hexi Province and the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee at the time, was a strong supporter of Chuping, the inter-provincial railway project, Chuping, the ambitious inter-provincial railway project, The project is destined to be an impossible dream. "In just two years, with the strengthening of national macroeconomic control, the inter-provincial railway project will only be shelved and come to an end. In the past, Du Yan, like many people, might have thought that this result was just an inevitable result of the country's overall macro-control. However, with the experience of waking up from a dream, Du Yan had a different conclusion than before. Even as he came into contact with more and more things, he had begun to secretly wonder why this project, which was actually a large-scale project that played a vital role in the development of the mainland many years later, would happen between two Will it be rejected without any warning after the new year, but it will be rejected without any doubt? The fact is that it was not until the new century that Chu Ping¡¯s original project plan was mentioned again.Later, but by that time, this initiative, which was obviously lagging behind the economic environment of the mainland at that time, became a typical example of repeated construction. It was such a tasteless project that it was a pity to abandon it, because at that time, in order to avoid being further and further left behind by other provinces, Hexi Province had to withdraw funds that were not rich from the provincial finance that was already in short supply, and spent more than The much higher investment proposed by Chu Ping was to be connected as much as possible with the inland inter-provincial economic bridge network that had already been formed at that time. It's just that at that time, Hexi Province had already lost the opportunity that could have been easily obtained, and had to adapt to other people's game rules at a higher cost. This resulted in Hexi Province, a resource-rich province with unlimited wealth, having to adapt to other people's game rules. Time and again, when domestic interest groups share the fruits, time and time again they become the meat that is traded and divided at will. Thinking of this, Du Yan couldn't help but rub his head slightly. He didn't expect that a small change in Pingling would gradually lead to such a series of seemingly unrelated things. However, if you think about it carefully, you will find that it not only involves a wide range of things, but even has a spearhead. There are faint signs pointing to some high-level officials in the country! The fact that Chu Ping's son Chu Yijun will become Liang Benchu's secretary has already explained a lot of things. Now Chu Ping has sent his daughter to Pingling. If this seemingly outdated provincial party secretary has no thoughts, Du Yan refused to believe it at all. At least one thing was certain, that is, Chu Ping obviously had some kind of tacit understanding with the Song family, which had gradually established a foothold in Hexi Province. What Du Yan really cares about is that Gao Ke, the governor of Hexi Province, who is about to inspect Taihua, at least on the inter-provincial railway project, stands with Chu Ping, who was the secretary of the provincial party committee. And Gao Ke would choose to inspect Taihua at this time, which is gradually showing its strong geographical advantages. If it has nothing to do with the inter-provincial railway project that the province is actively submitting to the central government for approval, how could Du Yan really do it? can not believe! But this is exactly what Du Yan is most worried about! Thinking that the inter-provincial railway project originally proposed by Chu Ping, which could have allowed Hexi Province to play a key role in the future inland economic bridge strategy, was eventually axed, Du Yan realized that those who made such a decision, This decision was definitely not made out of ignorance and short-sightedness. Thinking that Hexi Province had been providing low-stage resources to surrounding and southern provinces like a blood transfusion in the following years, Du Yan gradually understood that the cancellation of the inter-provincial railway project and Chu Ping's final Quietly retreating to the second line, what kind of interest game will be involved. But now, Gao Ke seems to have the momentum to use Chu Ping's original plan to make a big mark for his political achievements during his term as governor of Hexi Province, and his breakthrough is obviously in Taihua. Du Yan knew that according to rumors, Gao Ke, who was the deputy secretary of Hexi Province, was originally a strong candidate to succeed Chu Ping. Not to mention how many personal transactions were involved in it, it was just to ensure that the railway project could be completed before he left office. After that, it continued to be implemented smoothly, and Chu Ping was also willing to recommend Gao Ke to take over his class. But no one expected that the person who would eventually succeed Chu Ping as Secretary of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee would be Feng Zhenhuai, who came down from the Central Committee. From this point of view, it is impossible that there would be no contradiction between Gao Ke and Feng Zhenhuai. Although Gao Ke was defeated in the competition for Provincial Party Committee Secretary, he is not very old. If he can achieve something in this term, then he may not have the opportunity to compete with Feng Zhenhuai in the next election. If this is not possible, there is still an opportunity to be promoted in another place and serve as provincial party secretary in another province. But this was different for Feng Zhenhuai. As an airborne secretary, according to many people, his arrival was actually just a balancing act by the central government. After all, none of the people vying for the position of Secretary of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee at that time were tolerated. Xiao Shi, at that moment, in order to balance the relationship, Feng Zhenhuai had such a golden opportunity. But precisely because of this, if Feng Zhenhuai cannot quickly establish prestige and effective authority during his first term, then his situation will become very delicate. Although the provincial and municipal party committee secretary has been elected for two consecutive terms, it has almost become It is common practice, but it is not uncommon for people to change places after only one term due to ability issues or factional struggles. Any cadres who are transferred in this way almost means that their career path has come to an end. So in order to win the confrontation with Gao Ke, it became very possible that Feng Zhenhuai would suppress the inter-provincial railway project that Gao Ke had placed his hopes on because some interest groups did not want Hexi Province to escape their control. The development of Pingling and even Taihua will be most directly affected by this suppression! As the saying goes, there is no egg left after the nest is overturned. It is hard for Du Yan to imagine that after Gao Ke developed a strong interest in Taihua, Feng Zhenhuai would only hinder Gao Ke on the railway project. Perhaps in Feng Zhenhuai's view, the entire Taihua Any changes may become a challenge for Gao Ke to himself.Basically, it is not difficult to imagine what Feng Zhenhuai would do. More importantly, those interest groups that sacrificed the economic development of Hexi Province for their own interests in the previous life may not be able to repeat their old tricks once they truly realize the important role of Taihua in the future inland inter-provincial economic bridge policy. , once again used the power in his hands to do things to prevent the development of Hexi Province. Even Yang Weimin, who attaches great importance to political achievements in order to reach the top, may choose to sacrifice the interests of Hexi Province in this game that involves the interests of many parties. After all, for Yang Weimin, his political experience in Hexi Province is just his It is an indispensable step for career advancement, rather than a mission that must be completed. Du Yan, who was sitting on the bed thinking about this, felt a dull pain in his forehead. He sometimes told himself that these thoughts might be just unfounded worries, or that things were completely different from what he imagined, but the experiences in his previous life and the facts of the years later reminded him again and again. , these thoughts of mine may just confirm many things many years later. Just as Cui Jianbin was finally determined to be the striker arranged by the Yang family for Yang Weimin in Hexi Province, Du Yan knew in his heart that his analysis might be very close to the real reality. So what will happen next? Gao Ke's trip to Taihua is getting closer and closer, but now he is helpless in Shencheng, thousands of miles away. Even if he thinks about what might happen, what can he do? Does he have the chance to interfere with Feng Zhenhuai and Gao Ke? A struggle of this level, let alone a game between various forces that is far more complicated than this struggle. Du Yan sighed softly. It was the first time that he felt so powerless. Even when he faced Cui Jianbin, he didn't feel this helpless. It was like standing in the boxing ring and facing an extremely powerful person. Even though he has completely seen through his opponent's attack method, in the face of the disproportionate power disparity, he can still only watch helplessly as the opponent punches and kicks him, but has no power to fight back. "How could this be possible?" Du Yan felt disgusted, and then he punched the bedside table next to him. With a muffled "thud", a pen on the bedside table was knocked to the ground. Du Yan smiled bitterly and bent down to pick up the pen on the ground and put it away. When his eyes inadvertently glanced at the open notebook with a missing page on the bedside table, his eyes couldn't help but light up. The missing page was the one he tore off and wrote his own number on while exchanging phone calls with Song Youbo's secretary Xiao Gao. This made Du Yan couldn't help but think of the seemingly low-key, but vague overall meaning in all this. It's the Song family who can see shadows. If the privileged class formed by the combination of power and money gradually formed with the reform, they all made a lot of money in this feast of curbing wealth, then along with this power plunder, the masses at the bottom I see these privileged classes more and more clearly, and my hatred becomes more and more profound. Although the powerful have never felt uneasy conscience because of the hatred of the people at the bottom, the result of more wealth and worse reputation is in a sense an exchange of gains and losses. And among these powerful people who have gained wealth but lost their reputation, even the descendants of some great people with good roots are inevitable. However, in these large and small family groups, this is not entirely the case. The Song family is one of these rare exceptions. Even in the Internet age with advanced information in later generations, the Song family's unusual low-keyness has brought them not only a fairly good reputation, but also more practical benefits and conveniences. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 36: The Delicacy of the Temple In Du Yan's memory, after entering the new century, the Song family's potential interests in various fields have reached a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people. All of this was done decades ago when Mr. Song decided to stay away from the center of power. It's been decided. However, despite this, it does not mean that the Song family is willing to give in. On the contrary, in exchange for giving up the power that seems to be hot but in fact in this domestic environment, it will come to nothing at any time. In the early turmoil and struggle for power, and in the subsequent reform and opening up, not only did he always stand firm like an eternal cypress, but he also established a domestic system that no matter who dominated the country, could never be ignored. A huge system based on economic order. It is precisely because of this that Song Jiayi was able to understand the country's future economic development early before most people in the upper class were aware of it, and he was able to see the future economic development of the country from Pingling to Taiyuan with unique insight. The huge role and extraordinary potential that China may play in the future. Facts have proved that the Song family's vision is absolutely unique. As time goes by, the role of Pingling and even Taihua is gradually becoming more and more prominent. Gao Ke's trip to Taihua is a clear proof. So in this case, will the Song family see a possibility? Has it become a base for them to exert a huge influence on the economic development of the mainland, and will it just sink because of some people's internal struggles for power? The answer is absolutely no! Not to mention the big bosses of the Song family who value the interests of the family and the group above all else, even Song Jiayi and Qiao Luowei will never see everything they have worked so hard to manage go up in smoke! After thinking about this, a smile finally appeared on Du Yan's face. The boredom in his heart disappeared instantly. However, as he gradually thought of more things, his smile gradually became more meaningful. What the Song family will do is one thing, but Du Yan doesn't want to place all his hopes on the Song family. Du Yan knew that whether Song Jiayi or Qiao Luowei were honest with him because they had some friendship with him, but when it came to the interests of the Song family, they were definitely just pure Song family members, and the man he had just met Although Song Youbo, the mastermind of the Song family, seems to appreciate him quite a lot, in the eyes of people at this level, he may be nothing in the final analysis! Du Yan can only feel frustrated when talking about this, because he clearly understands that it has nothing to do with family background, just because he is nothing at all now. If he does not have the ability to stand at a height that can attract the attention of people like them, even if Song No matter how much Youbo admires himself, he will never consider his feelings and situation. So the only thing Du Yan can do now is to bring the Song family closer to this vortex whether he likes it or not. In this struggle game involving Taihua and even Hexi Province, if the Song family wants to obtain enough benefits, It is necessary to break the style of living behind the scenes and watching changes that they have always believed in. The key to making the Song family change this habit is Chu Ping, who has almost completely faded out of the core of power in Hexi. As for how to attract Chu Ping's attention, there is now a once-in-a-lifetime candidate, Chu Yilan! Thinking of Chu Yilan, Du Yan couldn't help but smile. Having thought through the key points, he had already vaguely guessed that the reason why Chu Yilan came to Pingling at this time was because Chu Ping was prepared to take advantage of this rare opportunity to catch his daughter. A considerable political achievement, but more importantly, it was a statement of determination to the Song family. "And behind his unusual behavior, there may be Gao Ke's attempt to contact or even seek refuge with the Song family bosses. After all, even if he achieved resounding political achievements during his tenure, there is still a big doubt whether he can take over as secretary of the provincial party committee in the next term. And if he can build a relationship with the Song family through the inter-provincial railway project, it will be a big deal for Gao Ke. It's a great thing that kills two birds with one stone. Even if he fails to get his wish in the next competition, relying on the relationship of the Song family, the chance of being transferred to other provinces to serve as provincial party committee secretary is much greater. "Wishful thinking." Du Yan murmured. He knew that in the current situation, even if he saw Gao Ke's move clearly, it actually seemed to have nothing to do with him. He only contacted Taihua and Pingling. , he clearly realized that the power struggle between those seemingly out of reach high-level officials was inextricably and even closely related to him. Du Yan stood in front of the sink and pondered while looking at himself in the mirror on the wall. He never thought that one day he would be racking his brains for a struggle at the provincial and ministerial level one morning, but when he carefully When I thought about it, I felt that this was really ridiculous, but I had to think about it, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door! "Du Yan, are you done?" Chu Yilan's rather impatient voice came from outside the door. When Du Yan wiped his face with a towel and opened the door, he saw a white-collar beauty who was already dressed neatly. ??. "Why are you so slow? You're more dawdling than a woman." Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan dissatisfied. Speaking of last night, she was really annoyed. Although she revealed her family background and relationship with Ding Bingxian to Du Yan in accordance with her father's intention, seeing Du Yan's seemingly unconcerned look, Chu Yilan felt He was slighted. For Du Yan, although those bad impressions from earlier have faded a lot, Chu Yilan really can't say that she has any good impressions of him. In Chu Yilan¡¯s view, this person who was so debauched and dissolute did not look like a government cadre. Not only was he inappropriate as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, but the ability of the person who promoted him was even questionable. Although Du Yan's performance in quelling the petition of heavy machinery factory workers last time when Zhang Wenliang inspected Pingling was quite noticeable, his unusual arrogance and domineering behavior in dealing with Zhang Wenliang later made Chu Yilan The good impression I had just made was immediately gone. But now, Chu Yilan's view of Du Yan has become a little blurry. Although it was only two days, the shared experience of the two people made her feel that her relationship with Du Yan has become somewhat complicated, although they are still just colleagues. relationship, but Chu Yilan knew that at this time, not only the business group, but also Taihua, who was thousands of miles away, had spread some rumors about the relationship between the two people. Did my father already hear something but didn¡¯t ask? Chu Yilan thought a lot last night. Based on her understanding of her father, she knew that even if she heard something, her father would not take the initiative to ask. Speaking of her personal issues, Chu Yilan was indescribably grateful to her father. Because whether he was in the high position of Provincial Party Committee Secretary or when he was in the most difficult situation, as a father, Chu Ping never proposed to exchange his daughter's lifelong happiness for his own career interests! It's just that she might be involved inexplicably with Du Yan, whom she has always disliked. Thinking of this Chu Yilan even feels vaguely uneasy about her transfer to Pingling. This makes her, who is very familiar even in the municipal party committee compound, The deputy secretary-general felt that he had arrived home inexplicably. Now looking at Du Yan's casual look, and remembering that Deputy Mayor Kuang sounded casual on the phone earlier, but there was still a certain ambiguity in his tone, Chu Yilan felt This trip to Shanghai was really a disaster for me. "Director Du, could you please abide by the sense of time?" After getting into the car, Chu Yilan finally couldn't bear to say it. This car was borrowed from the Provincial Resident Office. For the daughter of the former Provincial Party Committee Secretary, the etiquette of the Provincial Resident Office Director is still in place. Not to mention that Chu Ping is still the director of the Provincial People¡¯s Congress after all, based on the provincial governor Gao Ke and Chu Ping According to the relationship between people, the matter of leaving tea to cool down is not something the Chu family has to deal with yet at least. What's more, Chu Yilan is already a deputy secretary-general at the prefectural level at a young age, so her future prospects are even more unpredictable. After all, everyone still understands the official custom of showing mercy now so that they can meet easily in the future. Seeing Chu Yilan frowning slightly, Du Yan wanted to laugh but held it back. He could guess that rumors were probably flying all over the sky by now. After all, he and Chu Yilan arrived soon after they applied for the Taihua Consulate. Provincial Consulate applied for it, but after all Hong Ziming made such a fuss, some things were not only unclear, but also made people think more and more. What would those people say? Are you jealous of Chu Yilan and Shen Cheng's first young master, and have a fight? I guess it won't be so evil, but I guess it won't go anywhere. Thinking of this, Du Yan suddenly frowned slightly. He thought that if these boring rumors were spread back to Taihua, would it affect Chu Yilan's appointment in Pingling? If so, it would be really not worth the gain, let alone Du Yan wanted to see it. Only Chu Yilan, who is closely connected with Ping Ling, will play an important role in Fan Ya's future plans. If she misses the opportunity to be appointed to Ping Ling just because of these rumors, it will be a terrible ending. "Secretary-general, Huachang Manager Zhao, are they going to the convention and exhibition center with us?" Du Yan asked. In fact, he knew that Zhao Xiaoyun had left alone, but it would be inappropriate if he appeared to be too familiar with Zhao Xiaoyun's whereabouts. It's normal, after all, women's intuition is really scary when it comes to certain things. "Manager Zhao seems to have left early," Chu Yilan replied casually. Because she was taking someone else's car, it was really inconvenient for her to show too much dissatisfaction with Du Yan. "I heard that important people in Huachang are going to attend this spring festival." "Secretary-General, I don't think so. After all, the two of us are serving the activities of the investment companies in Taihua at the Spring Fair. If we are not here, there will be no one." There is no one responsible for coordinating the problem. Otherwise, you will be responsible for meeting with Mayor Kuang and others to register. As for me,??Go directly to the exhibition area. Anyway, you can just bring me your exhibition badge when the time comes. If there are too many people there, it won't be necessary for only a few people to do things. " When Du Yan said these words, Chu Yilan kept looking at him silently. After hearing what he said, Chu Yilan pondered for a moment and then nodded, making a single sound of "hmm", although it didn't sound very right. Care's answer seemed a little cold, but when Du Yan's eyes glanced at Chu Yilan's hand on her lap, she found that her right hand, which she had held slightly, relaxed slightly at that moment. license plate, although the traffic control leading to the Spring Fair Convention and Exhibition Center was relatively strict, the car still entered the parking lot inside the Convention and Exhibition Center smoothly. After meeting Chu Yilan on the way at the Taihua exhibition area, Du Yan got out of the car. I walked alone with the seemingly endless crowd towards the Convention and Exhibition Center. Compared with spring trade fairs in other areas, the Shanghai Spring Fair has a much longer history, but according to convention, it was supposed to be. The current Spring Fair, which is held in February every year, was postponed to April because of the old man¡¯s southern tour. April in the south is actually very hot at this time. Looking at the young and fashionable girls who have put on summer clothes early. Looking at the beautiful forest of white flowers everywhere, Du Yan truly felt the open mind of the south and the advanced consciousness of ordinary people. Du Yan knew that it was this consciousness that allowed the economy of the south to thrive. The reason for the rapid take-off and the fact that the minds of the South are more open and progressive is that compared with this progress that has deeply penetrated into the thinking of the general public, the closed and backwardness of the northern hinterland is particularly prominent. It is even this kind of ideological The backwardness gap becomes more and more serious as time goes by, and the distance from the developed areas in the south gradually becomes wider and wider. Looking at the scene in front of him, Du Yan sighed, the technological gap can be made up by catching up, just like him. Su Qian has been asked to take advantage of this opportunity to go to the East China Sea to find the professor of Shanghai University and his research team that he knows. Once found, no matter what method is adopted, he must find a way to connect those treasures with humans and machines. However, the huge gap in consciousness cannot be changed now. Even if he reaches a higher position in the future, if he cannot fundamentally change the ideological conservatism of ordinary people. Falling behind has triggered their own will to actively pursue innovation. Everything is still difficult and unsustainable. After all, the so-called manpower is limited. Du Yan is not a know-it-all, let alone a savior. Seeing the exhibition area marked with the Hexi Province logo from a distance. Du Yan walked forward with a large nameplate. Just as he entered the Hexi Province exhibition area and walked along the noisy passage with exhibition areas of various cities and counties in Hexi Province on both sides, he suddenly walked past a booth next to him. A figure. Looking at the middle-aged cadre with a tall figure and a handsome appearance, Du Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and at the same time thought to himself: "Why is he here? " Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 37 Arrogant Woman Du Yan was a little surprised when he saw Han Qiushi. He didn't expect to meet Han Bing's father thousands of miles away in Shencheng. Feeling that someone was watching her, Han Qiushi, who was packing up documents on the booth, raised his head, first looked at Du Yan with some confusion, and then smiled. "It's you, young man," Han Qiushi said with a smile to Du Yan, "I didn't expect you to be in Shanghai, too. Why, are you going to school here?" "You've been working for a while" Du Yan answered after hearing Han Qiushi's question. He couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile. Perhaps because he is born to look young, Du Yan's appearance always gives people the impression that he is much younger than his actual age. Even in Pingling, there were some security guards at some units who thought he was a student who was still in school. The experience of blocking him out of the door, although this kind of thing soon did not happen again, Du Yan himself had to admit that his face, which looked obviously several years younger than his actual age, was indeed He caused a lot of trouble. At this time, Du Yan had already remembered that he had heard Han Bing say in his previous life that Han Qiushi should be working in the Taihua Municipal Government at this time. But what made Du Yan a little strange was that he remembered clearly that this investment promotion in Taihua City Obviously there is no Han Qiushi in the group. "Young man, where do you work because we are too beautiful?" Han Qiushi asked casually. He had a good impression of this polite young man. Although he felt that his move to learn martial arts from his father was a bit unprofessional, he did not He didn't hate it either. "Why, are you still thinking about learning martial arts with my father?" Looking at Han Qiushi's handsome face, Du Yan felt a sense of confusion in his heart. From this face, he seemed to see Han Han years later. Speaking of Bing, Du Yan still remembers that Han Bing once said more than once that he looked like his father. At that time, Du Yan also imagined more than once what Han Bing's father, Han Qiushi, should be like. people. Although he had seen photos of Han Qiushi from Han Bing, now, looking at Han Qiushi across from him, Du Yan had to admit that Han Bing's father was indeed a very charming middle-aged man. "I work in the county below," Du Yan smiled and nodded. He saw Han Qiushi moving two boxes that seemed a bit heavy. He helped move one because he had agreed with Chu Yilan to leave separately. He was not in a hurry. After all, if two people arrived one after another, there might be some discussion again, and it seemed that he and Han Qiushi were on the same road, so he walked forward while talking to Han Qiushi, "This time I am with the city's investment group. Came to attend the Spring Fair. "Oh, really?" Han Qiushi paused and asked. Du Yan noticed that Han Qiushi seemed to have a slightly strange look when he heard this, but after just a moment, he returned to his smiling expression, "It's good for young people to practice more. Maybe they will come out this time." It's just a good opportunity for training. " "I never thought about that." Du Yan smiled bitterly, remembering that he was kicked out of Pingling by Cui Jianbin this time in the name of participating in the spring fair, and he thought about what would happen next. There will definitely be a lot of action in Pingling. Although arrangements have been made in the new district before leaving, Du Yan can still feel the overwhelming pressure when thinking of Cui Jianbin's cunning and Zhang Wenliang's obvious intentions. . If there is anything gained from this spring festival, it is the unexpected meeting with Song Youbo and the contact with Cheng Huaimin. However, although being able to establish some contact with these people is indeed a great progress, Du Yan's current In terms of status, these relationships that seem to lead to a higher level still have no effect. "Don't say that these people have no direct relationship with Hexi Province, so it is unlikely that they can help him. Even in Hexi Province, because Du Yan's current level is still too low, he has no relationship with them at all. And when it comes to building relationships, maybe it would be easier to get close to Chu Ping, director of the Hexi Provincial People's Congress. At least when Chu Yilan came to Pingling, as long as she had a good relationship with her, she would be able to have a relationship with Chu Ping. an indirect connection. And judging from Chu Yilan's words the night before, Du Yan was sure that Chu Ping had some deep meaning in arranging Chu Yilan to Pingling. And how much of it could be used by him? Let's see how things develop next. Chu Ping had already arranged his son Chu Yijun to be with Liang Benchu, the Organization Minister of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee, and based on what Du Yan knew about Liang Benchu's seemingly close relationship with the Song family, Chu Ping could be said to have been linked to the Song family. Taking the bait and letting Chu Yilan work in Pingling was just a clearer signal from Chu Ping to the Song family. As for the relationship between Chu Ping and Ding Bingxian revealed by Chu Yilan the day before, in Du Yan's view, although it was a sign of goodwill to him, it was not necessarily a disguised warning.   At least, Chu Ping was reminding him that he still had enough people in Pingling and even Taihua to replace him and become the candidate to bargain with the Song family. With this in mind, Du Yan followed Han Qiushi through a huge floor-to-ceiling banner and walked to the back of the booth. To his slight surprise, he noticed that this booth was the booth of the Hexi Provincial Government at the Spring Fair. It seemed that Han Qiu There seems to be some discrepancy between his current workplace and what Han Bing told him in his memory. "Director Han, why have you been gone for so long?" A voice that sounded impatient but full of Beijing movies suddenly sounded. Looking along the sound, Du Yan saw a middle-aged man in his forties looking at Han Qiushi impatiently. He was holding something that looked like a rolled book in his hand. He kept slapping his hands, and when he saw Han Qiushi walking over, he frowned and kept complaining. "Director Han, do you people here in Hexi do things in such a procrastinating way? Miss Wei's time is already very valuable, and the tasks are so tight. If the process is delayed, everyone will criticize it from the leadership. It's not going to be easy." The man said and looked at Du Yan behind Han Qiushi, while his brows furrowed even more. "I'm telling you, Director Han, you're really not doing your job well, and you're not cooperating enough. They actually sent some young people over. What else can these young people do besides affecting Miss Wei's activities?" Seeing this scene, Du Yan looked at Han Qiushi strangely. He saw that although Han Qiushi looked calm, However, his expression was slightly gloomy, as if he was controlling his inner emotions. "Director Liu, there is no need to be so angry," Han Qiushi finally spoke. He seemed to have suppressed his unhappiness, but although his expression was calm, his voice was slightly cold. "Of course we in Hexi are fully cooperating with the comrades from the capital. It's a good job. Besides, this is also a good thing to improve our reputation in Hexi. Why don't we care about your work? " "Then hurry up. Miss Wei is waiting impatiently," the middle-aged man said, although his tone was not very good when he saw Han Qiushi. Enthusiastic, but at least his attitude is pretty good, and his face seems to have softened a little. "I said, Mr. Han, I'm not trying to embarrass you on purpose. Miss Wei's original arrangement is very full. As you know, Miss Wei has taken on a lot of interesting people recently." In terms of the activities that have been influenced, no matter which one is taken out, the conditions are no worse than those provided by you in Hexi. However, Miss Wei has the intention of repaying her hometown, and it is difficult to shirk Minister Liu's repeated invitations. Otherwise, it will be her turn no matter what. Why don't you, Hexi Province, take advantage of this? " Listening to the middle-aged man's nagging, Han Qiushi's originally calm face showed a hint of gloom. He looked back at Du Yan, and then smiled with all his strength: "Thank you, Xiao Du, give me these things." As he said that, he was about to put down the things he was holding and take the box in Du Yan's hand, but the middle-aged man had already continued to say: "Director Han, come here There are two people here, just help move the things over there. The time is really too late and there is no time. " After hearing what Director Liu said, Han Qiushi frowned slightly and was about to say something, but Du Yan already shook his head with a smile. He said, "It's okay, Director Han. I'm not busy now. I'll help you move your things over first." As he said that, he walked towards the big boxes pointed by Director Liu. Just when he took two steps, He heard a vague sigh from Han Qiushi next to him. Hearing this sigh, Du Yan turned around and saw an indescribable loneliness on Han Qiushi's face, which made Du Yan a little surprised. In Du Yan's memory, whenever Han Bing mentioned her father, in addition to the unabashed admiration with an obvious Electra complex, she always mentioned her father's never bowing to suffering. Optimism, and even though they only had two contacts, Du Yan could also feel the optimism and open-mindedness that Han Bing mentioned from Han Qiushi. Maybe it was because he was born in a traditional family. Even though he seemed full of weirdness after a long time, once he calmed down, Du Yan could always vaguely feel that Han Bing had a kind of tact and tranquility that seemed to have been a habit for a long time. . Perhaps it was this kind of euphemism and tranquility, and the strange contradiction caused by the contrast between Han Bing, who was active and even a bit unconventional, that deeply attracted Du Yan at that time, and maybe it was this kind of contradiction Although his appearance is full of cynicism and free will, in his heart he always maintains the traditional concept of self-respect and self-love, which makes Han Bing willing to use heartbreaking and extreme methods to protect himself when faced with a fate that he cannot contend with. Your own final dignity. Thinking of this, Du Yan felt a sting in his heart for no reason. He didn't know if he would meet Han Bing again in this life, but when he thought that Han Bing would face that cruel fate one day in the future, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable. It makes him wish he had sexThe urge to find her immediately and hold her in my arms to protect her. "Xiao Du, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you go and do your own business first?" Han Qiushi, who saw the sudden strange look on Du Yan's face, asked with some concern. He didn't want this person to look quite concerned. The young man who liked him was ready to find a reason to send Du Yan away because he was in trouble. Remembering that his boss had deliberately arranged for him to take care of these guests from the capital when arranging work, he already knew that this was actually just a matter of course. It's just a disguised form of wearing small shoes for yourself. "It's okay, Director Han. I'm not busy either." Du Yan said as he lifted a heavy box with both hands. At the same time, he glanced at Han Qiushi strangely. Although he still doesn¡¯t know the specific process, Du Yan can guess from the conversation between the two people just now that the Miss Wei that the middle-aged man was talking about may be someone invited by the Hexi Provincial Government to help promote the Spring Fair. Speaking of which, This method of publicity is just emerging now, but I don¡¯t know who the forward-thinking person came up with the idea. What worries Du Yan is that with Han Qiushi's many years of experience, even if the job of entertaining guests is assigned to him, there should at least be someone else to take on the job with him. But now it seems that not only Han Qiushi is the only one He was here, and judging from the attitude of Director Liu, he was obviously not polite to Han Qiushi, which made people feel a little strange. Thinking back to Han Qiushi's nonchalant sigh he just heard, Du Yan was even sure that Han Qiushi's current situation was obviously not very good. "Xiao Du, thank you." Han Qiushi who followed up said to Du Yan with a smile. His face now returned to the plain but cheerful expression before, as if the unhappiness that had flashed across his face before It's like it's never appeared before. Seeing Han Qiushi like this, Du Yan suddenly realized that maybe this was the impression Han Qiushi left on his family after returning home. No matter what kind of setbacks he encountered at work, once he returned home and faced his family, he would He always looks so relaxed, just like the first time I saw him pushing his bicycle out of the house outside the Han family courtyard. All the troubles and unhappiness will never be seen by his family, let alone let them worry about him. . Du Yan couldn't help but sigh slightly when he thought of this. The Han Qiushi in front of him was stable, mature and shouldered the responsibilities as a husband and father. Perhaps it was because of this that in Han Bing's eyes, his father was not only omnipotent, but also her father. The spiritual support in my heart. It is precisely because of this that when this spiritual pillar collapsed many years later, Han Bing, who almost collapsed completely, would use that terrible and extreme way to severely retaliate against those who had brought huge disasters to her family. . Du Yan was thinking this as he followed Han Qiushi along the path between several temporary tents behind the booth. When they came to a small cubicle, a woman's dissatisfied voice came from inside. out. "What do the people here in Hexi do? They asked me to come over without preparing anything. They made arrangements for the reception when I came over. Then they just found a clerk and sent me away. If this continues, I will leave directly." Du Yan couldn't help but frown when he heard the words. Although he didn't know who Miss Wei was yet, just hearing these words had aroused his disgust. "Miss Wei, don't worry, Director Han is trying to coordinate things right now," a slightly anxious young female voice came from the cubicle, "I'll go talk to Director Han right now and arrange another place for you to rest." "No need, you can provide such conditions. When I walked out before, I said that I never want to come back to Hexi in this life. A naturally poor place has raised a group of poor beggars, and it will not change in hundreds of years. Life!" The disdain in the woman's voice can be felt even from the outside. The curtain of the cubicle suddenly lifted, and a young girl jumped out. Because she was in such a hurry, the man rushed straight out of the door without looking at the road. When she saw Han Qiu in front of her, she couldn't help but follow " "Ah!" He yelled and tried to stop his forward momentum, but because of the excessive force, he couldn't help but fell forward and hit Han Qiushi directly! Han Qiushi, who had been standing at the door listening, suddenly moved to the side. His broad shoulders seemed to accidentally bump into the young girl's forward shoulder. With this slight bump, the girl rushed forward. But she couldn't help but slow down, and with a soft cry, the girl's feet finally stopped. "Xiao Ke, be careful when you walk." Han Qiushi glanced at the girl with a red face and tears in her eyes. "Director Han" The young girl seemed to be about to say something, but was stopped by Han Qiushi with a gesture. At this time, Du Yan saw that Han Qiushi's emotions that had been well controlled seemed to have been worn away, and a pair of very thickHis eyebrows were already tightly knitted together. In later generations, Han Bing's appearance made Du Yan feel lost more than once, and all the credit must be attributed to his excellent bloodline. Han Qiushi's appearance is not unhandsome. At this point, Du Yan really feels inferior to him. , but now Han Qiushi's face has been covered with a layer of frost, which seems to be a sign that the anger has reached the limit. This makes Du Yan secretly wonder, if the people inside say anything else, maybe Han Qiushi will really I can't bear it anymore. At this moment, the curtain of the cubicle suddenly lifted, and with a burst of fragrance, a young woman who looked to be in her twenties appeared at the door. This woman was originally very beautiful, but the awkward look on her face that looked like she was looking for trouble ruined her otherwise decent appearance, making her face with makeup look slightly out of shape. . Looking at this young woman with a somewhat familiar face, Du Yan thought for a moment and then remembered that this woman seemed to be a female star who was gradually becoming popular. However, in Du Yan's memory, she was still just emerging and not famous at all. It's not very big. It will take some time for this actress to turn red and purple. It's just that how she became so popular is beyond the imagination of today's people. At least in this era where the appearance and heart of female stars are still easily confused with each other, most ordinary people cannot imagine these female stars. What kind of stories are behind them, let alone the people standing behind her like the female star in front of her. Seeing Han Qiushi, the now-famous actress was obviously startled, but then turned around and prepared to walk past Han Qiushi. "Miss Wei, our Hexi Province is very sincere to you," Han Qiushi suddenly spoke. Different from his easy-going expression before, although his tone was calm now, he revealed a solemn tone. "We are also very grateful to you for returning to your hometown." action, so we have provided you with the most convenient conditions that we think we can for your trip. If you have any other requirements, you can put them forward, but at the same time, please pay attention to your words and deeds. After all, Hexi Province is your hometown, you said so Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s inappropriate?¡± Han Qiushi looked at the young woman coldly. His patience was almost worn out. From the day he was inexplicably transferred from the Taihua Municipal Government to the Provincial Department of Culture, he Not only did he deeply feel the warmth and warmth of human relationships, but he also felt pressure from all sides. Even some of his former like-minded friends were alienated from him. At work, since he came to the Department of Culture, he has been suppressed in various ways, and the reason for all this is just because he inadvertently offended a woman at work who was said to have an ambiguous relationship with Liu Wenliang, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. Han Qiushi knew that this time he was arranged to receive this famous and difficult female star. In fact, someone in the unit was trying to put on small shoes for him, but he never expected that this now quite popular female star would be like this. Not only was the person completely different from her image on the stage, she even seemed to have not even taken the most basic rest. This made Han Qiushi, who was already depressed, feel unbearable anger. It seems that she did not expect that Han Qiushi would suddenly speak to her in this manner. The young woman looked at him in shock at first, and then an angry look appeared on her face! "What is your attitude?" The young woman glared at Han Qiushi angrily, "I am a guest invited by your Hexi Province investment group. You asked me to come and promote you. I absolutely cannot accept your current attitude!" As the woman spoke, she turned back and waved to Director Liu who came after hearing the sound: "Director Liu, please come here. It seems that there is no use for us to stay here. Let's go back!" "It's time to go back a long time ago," Director Liu looked at Han Qiushi and kneaded his neck, "I have nothing to say to these bumpkin from the mainland. I came here just to help them as a favor, but they actually picked it up, and some of my brothers walked away!" Director Liu said Wan glared at Han Qiushi, turned around and left. Seeing this scene, Du Yan couldn't help but frown. He could tell that these people seemed to be invited by a high-ranking official in Hexi Province. It was precisely because of this that these people were so arrogant and domineering. Although he and Chu Yilan went to the provincial station to apply for the office before, they did not see these people because they came and went in a hurry. Maybe these people did not stay in the hotel where the station applied for office. But now this scene made Du Yan When I saw it, I felt angry. Not to mention that this beautiful-looking woman was actually just a swaying woman. The disgusting rumors she had exposed later, but her current arrogant attitude, made Du Yan feel disgusted. She even felt disgusted with the person who decided to invite her. After looking at this woman and thinking about it for a moment, Du Yan feltA thought couldn't help but cross my mind. The leader of the province who decided to invite this woman may not be a drunkard. His real purpose may be just to please the person behind this woman. After all, if you recall carefully, according to the rumors exposed in later generations , this actress who is now gradually becoming popular in China, was spotted by a certain dignitary at about this time, and her so-called brilliant career began. And if this is the case, then the provincial leader who invited this woman to promote and cheer for the Hexi Provincial Investment Recruitment Group may not be motivated by pure work needs. Maybe he just wants to invite this woman to build a relationship with the person above. Thinking of this, Du Yan couldn't help but start to worry about Han Qiushi's situation. Just at this time, a very stern voice rang from the other side: "Director Han, what is your attitude?!" Hearing this scolding, Han Qiushi's handsome face suddenly became clouded, and he followed the voice Looking over, Du Yan saw two people walking towards this side. An angry middle-aged fat man in front of him was walking very fast. This man had a big belly that no one could ignore. Maybe he was being pretentious or he was really anxious. As he walked, he kept wiping his bare forehead with his hands. When he walked in front of Miss Wei, he was full of anger. His face suddenly turned into a smile. That instant change made people sincerely admire his skill. Since this person appeared, Han Qiushi has not looked at Miss Wei again. He just whispered to comfort the young female staff member next to him who was still crying. And when the fat man ran to Miss Wei to apologize, Du Yan, who was standing nearby, kept looking at the young cadre who walked slowly behind the fat man. Looking at the young cadre who was stunned for a moment after seeing him, then smiled and nodded slightly to him, and then walked over, Du Yan couldn't help but think to himself: "It's really a strange thing today. You can always run into familiar people." While thinking about it, Du Yan stretched out his hand and shook it hard with the young cadre. "It's a coincidence. I really didn't expect to meet you here. How are you doing, Director Du?" With a smile on his face, Liu Jiahui reached out and held Du Yan tightly. His hand was very strong and enthusiastic, without any trace of emotion. The look you should have when you see an enemy taking away your position. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 38: Coming Out Seeing Liu Jiahui actually shaking hands with the young man following Han Qiushi, both the fat man who kept apologizing to Miss Wei and Han Qiushi couldn't help but look over in shock. There was a curious look on the fat man's face. Although Liu Jiahui had just joined the Provincial Department of Culture not long ago, the news that he was the only son of Liu Ding, executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Committee, had already spread in the Provincial Department of Culture. ¡°What¡¯s more, what makes many people jealous is that Liu Jiahui served as the director of the Supervision Office of the Department¡¯s Discipline Inspection Team as soon as he arrived at the Department of Culture. This made many people extremely jealous, but there was nothing they could do about it. After all, Liu Jiahui was already the deputy deputy director when he was at the lower level. Although there was news that he had some insider information when he came to the province from the lower level this time, his father Liu Ding immediately arranged him to the Supervision Office of the Supervisory Office of the Department of Culture after a little operation. From the director's point of view, Liu Jiahui's move was obviously not a bad thing, which naturally made the cadres in those agencies to be wary of him. After all, he was already a deputy director-level cadre at such a young age, and his future prospects were naturally unlimited. ¡°What¡¯s unexpected is that no one expected that Liu Jiahui would suddenly become polite to an inconspicuous-looking young man, which naturally attracted the attention of the people around him. "Lao He, come, let me introduce you," Liu Jiahui turned around and said hello to the fat man, "This is the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Committee of Taihua City in our province, Director Du Yandu of the New District, and this is the Social Affairs Bureau of the Provincial Department of Culture Where is He Guoliang, Director of the Cultural Department?" Hearing Liu Jiahui's introduction, He Guoliang's fat face couldn't help but froze. He looked at Du Yan as if he didn't believe it, and then immediately put that look on his face. A smile seemed to appear suddenly, and he immediately stretched out his hands: "Director Du, I have admired your name for a long time. I didn't expect to see you in Shencheng. It's such a pleasure to meet you." Looking at He Guoliang, he seemed to be able to do whatever he wanted. Du Yan couldn't help but secretly shake his head at the changing face. Speaking of old people who often hang out in institutions, they have the ability to see people and do things. But if this person's face changes at the drop of a hat, it's terrible. It's really beyond the ordinary ability to describe it. With this in mind, Du Yan did not neglect him. He shook hands with Director He and said with a smile: "Director He, please don't say that. You are an old comrade. We should learn from you." "Director Du is really You are so humble. He is the youngest deputy director-level cadre in Hexi Province. This is a big deal wherever he goes." He Guoliang said while looking at Du Yan's face with a smile, as if he wanted to look at Du Yan's face. "Who doesn't know that Pingling in Taihua is an amazing place? It produces capable people and political achievements." He Guoliang's words made Du Yan slightly startled. It's not that he didn't expect that someone would know about him. , after all, just as He Guoliang said, the youngest deputy deputy director in the province, this title is enough to attract others' attention, but from He Guoliang's words, Du Yan vaguely heard something indescribable. Something, thinking about this, he couldn't help but look at Liu Jiahui, who was always smiling next to him. If Liu Jiahui has no resentment at all for losing the position of new district director, Du Yan absolutely does not believe it. He knows very well that for people like Liu Jiahui, all good conditions should belong to them, although almost every step relies on They have a strong family background, but in their minds, not only do they take it for granted, but they even regard all the benefits they have obtained as being earned by their own ability. Just like the children of a certain party-state boss in later generations once boasted that they control state-owned enterprises worth tens of billions entirely by their own abilities, Du Yan believes that for Liu Jiahui, he will never think that becoming the director of the new district is the right thing to do. Taking someone else's spot. On the contrary, Du Yan also believed that although Liu Jiahui found an excuse to recuperate and left the new district because he saw that the trend was wrong, once he found out that he had made a mistake in judgment, he must have deep feelings for his replacement as the director of the new district. Unspeakably hateful. Thinking about this, and recalling the intriguing tone in He Guoliang's words, Du Yan was absolutely certain that this leader was obviously Liu Jiahui, or perhaps related to his father, Liu Ding, the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of Hexi Province. Very close. ¡°At least after knowing who he is, you can immediately face him with such a meaningful attitude, which shows that the relationship between them is not shallow. After Du Yan figured this out, he couldn't help but have a slightly sarcastic smile on his lips. He knew that a veteran like Guoliang could show his hostility to him so obviously. This was certainly He Guoliang's trick. Showing kindness to Liu Jiahui also shows how much Liu Jiahui hates him. In fact, no one would believe that there would be no bad blood between the two of them. In this case, in addition to maintaining hypocritical unity in front of outsiders, it can be said that there is no relationship between the two of them.There is no place for them to live together. After thinking about this, Du Yan already felt that there was no need to stay here anymore, but when he saw Han Qiushi standing next to him looking at him with surprise and curiosity, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in his heart. He could already feel that Han Qiushi's situation seemed a bit difficult, and he and Han Qiushi had just walked together. Even if this was just a coincidence, he believed that judging from Liu Jiahui's thoughts and the performance of this elder, it might not be impossible. Drawing certain symbols between Han Qiushi and himself will definitely add insult to injury for Han Qiushi, who is currently in a difficult situation. Thinking of these, Du Yan secretly sighed. Although he had made up his mind and did not want to have any impact on Han Bing and her family because of his own reasons, it was like a deliberate trick of fate. Unknowingly, he and the Han family once again That kind of relationship happened that seemed to be constantly involved. "Where is the director? We haven't finished talking yet," Miss Wei suddenly raised her voice and said something. She glanced at Du Yan unhappily, feeling that Du Yan had suddenly stolen the limelight from her. Miss Wei was a little annoyed, but she just said When she looked at Liu Jiahui, her eyes became gentler. "Director Liu, the attitude here in Hexi is not very good. It seems they don't welcome us." "Yes, Director Liu, your cadres here The quality is very bad, especially for a well-known actress like Miss Wei. Not only does she not actively cooperate but she also feels dissatisfied. If this continues, it will seriously affect the impression of Hexi Province in the minds of the leaders." Director Liu kept knocking beside him. At the same time, he looked at Han Qiushi and the panicked female cadre next to him with a slightly sarcastic look, which naturally meant that the problem was caused by these two people. Hearing what Director Liu said, Liu Jiahui couldn't help but frown. He glanced at Han Qiushi, and then looked back at He Guoliang. Liu Jiahui's move made He Guoliang next to him roughly understand what it meant. When he looked at Han Qiu, his already stern eyes became even colder. When he thought that Miss Wei was originally Liu Jiahui's father Liu Ding, he had a relationship with Liu Jiahui. Just getting in touch, and coupled with the vague rumors of an ambiguous relationship between Miss Wei and a certain upper-class boss, He Guoliang couldn't help but have the urge to bite him a few times when he looked at Han Qiushi! "Director Han, how do you do your work?" He Guoliang no longer cared that Du Yan, an "outsider", was still standing aside, and got angry at Han Qiushi with an angry look on his face, "Isn't it in the hall before we come this time?" We have issued a special document and repeatedly reiterated that we will cooperate with the province in the activities of the Spring Fair. However, not only did you not do your job well, you also used this attitude to treat the guests invited by the province to help us. This kind of behavior of yours Not only is your work attitude inappropriate, but your comrade's ideological problems are even more serious." At this point, he scolded the young female cadre next to Han Qiushi who was pale with fear, "Xiao Ke, you are a new comrade. , you should learn to work with humility and prudence, but the thinking of a charming lady like you now is very problematic. Miss Wei is a guest invited by the province. You can't do your job well and still make trouble. You need to make a deep self-reflection on this." " Chief, I, I don¡¯t have it. I am very serious about my work and very polite to Miss Han. I really didn¡¯t stir up trouble" Hearing this from Mr. He, who has always treated his subordinates harshly, I was already very worried. Nervous Xiao Ke, whose face was already pale at this time, opened her mouth and defended at a loss. At the same time, she looked helplessly at Han Qiushi beside her, as if asking him to testify for her. "Comrade Ke Xiaojuan, do you think I was wrong in criticizing you?" Seeing Xiao Ke actually refuting him in front of others, He Guoliang's fat face immediately showed an angry look, and he pointed with his stubby finger. Xiao Ke said loudly to Han Qiushi, "Look, look, these are the people you brought out, and they contradicted the leader without admitting their mistakes!" "I didn't didn't contradict the leader" The young female cadre said this At that time, she didn't know what to say. She raised her hand to Han Qiushi in a daze, as if she wanted to grab Han Qiushi's sleeve, but she was too afraid to touch him. "Where's the growth? Xiao Ke's work is fine," Han Qiushi said in a deep voice patiently. He could see that He Guoliang was simply trying to scare the monkeys. If he didn't speak out, it might not be too embarrassing, but as long as he spoke, he would definitely It played into He Guoliang's plan, but when things got to this point, Han Qiushi already knew that even if he endured for a while, there would be no good results in the future, not to mention that he really couldn't stand it anymore. "Miss Wei's request has exceeded what we can provide." I also want to report to you where the conditions are. In addition, I think that although I was invited to promote our province¡¯s investment promotion, some people¡¯s remarks that are excessive and even hurt the feelings of we Hexi people are also unacceptable. There should be a need to refute. "What do you mean?" Hearing Han Qiushi's words.??, Miss Wei's makeup-covered face suddenly turned red. She rushed to Han Qiushi in a few steps and stared at the handsome face in front of her that she had been quite fond of before. "I tell you, don't say you are just" Even the section chiefs in the capital don¡¯t dare to talk to me like this! Do you believe that I can make you stop being a small-time official and go back to your hometown to beg for food!¡± Hearing Miss Wei's arrogant shouting, Han Qiushi's originally suppressed anger could not help but fill his chest. The unfair treatment he had received for a long time had made him feel more and more unbearable. In order not to worry his relatives, he always wanted to I have to force myself to smile, but I have to persevere under huge pressure in the workplace. And now, such an actress in front of her actually threatens herself in such an arrogant tone, and even screams that she will not be able to even do her job? ! At some time, Han Qiushi felt an indescribable suffocation in his chest. Full of resentment, a flash of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and his slender hands clenched involuntarily! "Bah bang bang!" As the applause came, a sarcastic voice rang out, "That's so well said." Seeing the scene in front of him, Du Yan, who had always been silent standing beside him, finally spoke! Du Yan's sudden opening made Liu Jiahui, who was also watching this scene, stunned for a moment, and then a flash of joy flashed in his eyes. Miss Wei, who was confused by Du Yan's sudden applause, looked at Du Yan in shock. Before, she had only complained to He Guoliang. Although later she saw He Guoliang shaking hands with the young man following Liu Jiahui, but for her This kind of person who is really used to seeing all kinds of things in the world, and who has contacts with many high-ranking officials in the capital because of his ambiguous relationship with a certain big boss, does not take this young man from Hexi Province seriously at all. . Now listening to this young man¡¯s words that were obviously sarcastic, and with a look of disdain on his face, Miss Wei was stunned for a while at first, and then the shock turned into full of anger! "Director, what's going on?!" Miss Wei's voice almost changed her tone. "These are your cadres from Hexi? What are you doing? Do you have any objections to the superior leaders who sent me to assist you!" As soon as Miss Wei said these words, He Guoliang's face, which was still smiling, suddenly turned pale. Although it was not clear which of the big bosses above Miss Wei was related to, he knew that this actress was definitely his Untouchable! What's more, even Director Liu, who has a profound background next to him, has been somewhat polite to Miss Wei. Now that Du Yan has completely offended her with just one sentence, and he is caught in the middle, isn't he going to suffer the same fate? Thinking of this, He Guoliang, who originally had opinions about Du Yan, immediately turned gloomy. He looked at him and said coldly: "Director Du, this is within the scope of the work of our Provincial Department of Culture. You are also very busy, so then I won't waste your time." Seeing He Guoliang issuing the eviction order without any concealment, Du Yan ignored him. He took a step forward and looked at Han Qiushi, nodded, and then said to He Guoliang calmly: "Where is the director? Logically speaking, this is indeed within the scope of your work, but because what Miss Wei said before has really hurt the feelings of the Hexi people in our province, as a Hexi person, I think I still have the right Tell me your opinion." After saying that, Du Yan turned to look at the livid Miss Wei, and then let out a contemptuous snort from his nose that everyone could clearly feel. "Ms. Wei, you are a literary and artistic worker, but your previous words and deeds are completely inconsistent with the nature of your work. You said that Hexi Province is full of poor people and beggars. I remember that you are from Hexi yourself, but you Now that you have left Hexi Province, have you become noble? Or have you become a so-called superior and look down on ordinary people in other places?" Du Yan looked at Miss Wei coldly, he had no interest in this woman. He had no good impression at all, and more importantly, in his memory, this woman later relied on the big boss behind her to not only dominate the entire literary and art world, but also used her power to do many things that could even be said to be harmful. "In addition, , you threaten a government worker in this tone, I want to ask, whose power are you relying on? I don¡¯t think any leader has given you the power to decide the fate of others at will. This behavior of yours is taken lightly. "You are not overestimating your capabilities, and to put it more seriously, you are deliberately trying to discredit the leader!" Ms. Wei looked at Du Yan blankly. She never imagined that this young man not only dared to ridicule her, but also did so in front of so many people. She scolded herself mercilessly, and when she saw the staff who had heard the news and was standing not far away watching all this, her face, which was twisted with anger, became extremely ugly, with a thick layer of lipstick on it. His lips have become a little blurry due to trembling. "Where is the director? What's going on with this person?" Seeing Miss Wei almost fainting with anger, Director Liu askedHe immediately pointed at Du Yan and shouted to He Guoliang, "Who is Miss Wei? He dared to speak to Miss Wei like this, Mr. He, if you don't deal with this person today, the matter will not be over, otherwise we will report it to the head of the central government." "Go!" "Director Liu, this is not good" He Guoliang said and glared at Du Yan. He never expected that Du Yan would not only speak suddenly, but even hit Miss Wei mercilessly as soon as he came up. , looking at Miss Wei's livid face, listening to Director Liu's shouting, and thinking of the legends behind this woman, he really had the urge to fight Du Yan to the death! Hearing what Director Liu said, Du Yan almost laughed out loud. He glanced at He Guoliang, who almost looked like he was about to eat him, and then turned around and stretched out his hand to Han Qiushi. "I didn't have a chance before, so let me introduce myself now. I am Du Yan, member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Committee of Taihua City and director of Pingling New District." Du Yan said almost word for word, "Comrade Qiushi, no matter what others say, I am here to express my sincere gratitude to you." You express your gratitude. Thank you for safeguarding the dignity of our Hexi Province as a Hexi person. I believe that any person with dignity will not allow others to maliciously slander his hometown, let alone because some people pretend to be leaders. Banner, using the name of Ziwu Xuyou to bow to the evil trend." Hearing Du Yan's words, Han Qiushi also looked at Du Yan blankly. Han Qiushi didn't know whether Miss Wei had any relationship with some of the big guys above. But he knew that not only his immediate boss He Guoliang, but also Liu Jiahui, the director of the inspection office next to him who was said to have a strong background in the department, was also polite to her, as if he was afraid of being slighted, but now this newly graduated student suddenly The young man who was a college student and became the new district director at the deputy division level, however, harshly reprimanded the woman as if he didn't take her seriously at all, and even showed kindness to him in this way that was obviously inconsistent with official rules. This made Although Han Qiushi was flattered, he was even more confused. He doesn¡¯t know why Director Du is so protective of him. Is it really because of his respect for his father that he loves his family so much? But even Han Qiushi himself felt that this only possible reason was unreliable. What made not only Han Qiushi, but even Liu Jiahui, who was watching the show coldly, did not expect that when Han Qiushi, who was full of doubts, stretched out his hand to hold hands with Du Yan, what Du Yan said next: "Comrade Qiushi, I heard that you I used to work in the Provincial Department of Industry. I believe you must have your own opinions on regional industrialization. If possible, you are welcome to come to our new district to show your ambitions. "This is a win-win situation! Unabashed wooing! Even more provocative! A defiant provocation! Seeing Du Yan telling Han Qiushi a way out in front of him, He Guoliang was almost mad at Du Yan's behavior of not taking him seriously! He had made up his mind at this moment, not to mention that Du Yan might just say it casually for competition, but even if he really wanted to mobilize Han Qiushi, as long as he stayed in the position of director of the Social and Cultural Department, Han Qiushi would not be able to move in this life. ! At this time, Han Qiushi, through the strength of the handshake, could already feel the sincerity conveyed to him by Du Yan, which he could feel even though he was still inexplicable. "Thank you, Director Du. If possible, I hope to work under your leadership!" Han Qiushi also shook his hand hard. No matter what Du Yan's purpose was, Han Qiushi knew that he must have a clear response at this time. Maybe, your future will really turn around? Although he clearly knew that such an idea was somewhat unrealistic, at that moment, Han Qiushi couldn't help but have such a fantasy in his heart. At the same time, Du Yan has made up his mind that no matter how difficult it is, even if he owes Qiao Luowei a big favor, he must help Han Qiushi jump out of the quagmire of the Provincial Department of Culture! Thinking of this, Du Yan and Han Qiushi held their hands together harder! However, just when the two people let go of their clasped hands and the people next to them were in a daze at this unexpected scene, a voice with a slightly exaggerated surprise suddenly sounded from the aisle not far away: "Ms. Wei , is it Miss Wei? " Hearing this voice, people looked around, only to see an official-looking man in his fifties walking over with an expression of surprise. When he walked in front of Miss Wei, he He said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Miss Wei, why didn't you let anyone tell me when you were in the provincial league? If you hadn't come over to do something, I would have missed it." "Excuse me, who are you? ?" Miss Wei, who looked at the other party with an ugly face, asked with some confusion, because the other party seemed to be an official with a high status. Although she was in a bad mood at this time, she couldn't show any impatience. "Ms. Wei is such a noble person who forgets things so much," the man seemed?I didn't feel too embarrassed because Miss Wei didn't recognize me. "I am Kuang Dafu, the deputy mayor of Taihua City, Hexi Province. You came to perform a condolence performance at the national municipal industrial report conference in the capital last fall. After that, we We had dinner together, do you remember?" "Yes, Mayor Kuang," Miss Wei nodded vaguely at first, then she stared at the other person as if she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Mayor Kuang, where did you say you were? City?" "Taihua." Seeing Miss Wei's serious expression, Vice Mayor Kuang couldn't help but feel happy. He still remembered that when he attended the last national meeting, he saw even Sui Jianchao, the Minister of Machinery, speaking to This woman's attitude was quite respectful. Thinking of some vague rumors, Deputy Mayor Kuang's smile became even wider. Deputy Mayor Kuang has been the deputy mayor in Taihua for four years, but in the end he didn't even get a job as an executive. This of course made him anxious. He had fallen in love with Miss Wei when he saw her in the capital, and she seemed to have a good background. I just didn¡¯t have a chance to strike up a conversation with anyone. It is a rare encounter now. If you can have a good relationship with this woman, it may be a rare way to rise. "It turns out to be Taihua." Miss Wei showed a proud smile on her face. She glanced at Du Yan sideways, and then said coldly, "Mayor Kuang, I have a good impression of Taihua, but it's just that a certain There are some exceptions. I didn¡¯t expect there to be such cadres in Taihua.¡± Deputy Mayor Kuang couldn¡¯t help but be startled by Miss Wei¡¯s sudden change of expression. Thinking of the look she had given Du Yan before, Deputy Mayor Kuang was stunned. The smile on the long face suddenly disappeared. He turned back and looked at Du Yan coldly. At the same time, he asked unceremoniously: "Comrade Du Yan, what's going on?" Seeing Deputy Mayor Kuang The director asked Du Yan sternly. Not only Miss Wei, but also He Guoliang had a faintly proud smile on his face. And Chu Yilan, who was watching this scene behind Deputy Mayor Kuang, couldn't help but feel a flash of worry in her heart. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 39 Director Du is not a soft persimmon Chu Yilan frowned secretly, standing behind the unhappy Deputy Mayor Kuang and looking at Du Yan not far away. She never expected that not long after she broke up with him, something went wrong with Du Yan again, which made Chu Yilan, who was already very troubled by the previous incident, feel unspeakably annoyed. Because Deputy Mayor Kuang was from the government, Chu Yilan didn't know much about him, but she had heard that this man was still very keen on power. When she saw how cautious he was towards Miss Wei, Even a little deliberately trying to please, Chu Yilan guessed that Miss Wei obviously had a big background. Because of Hong Ziming's incident, Deputy Mayor Kuang already had a lot of opinions about Du Yan and Chu Yilan. This can be seen from people's ambiguous attitude towards her after she returned to the investment group. After all, if Deputy Kuang The mayor didn't say anything, so how could these people dare to show off to her, the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee? The most obvious of these were the cadres at the city government. From the way those people looked at her, Chu Yilan could even guess what kind of dirty thoughts they had in their minds. "What's going on, Director Du?" The look on Deputy Mayor Kuang's face seemed to have softened a bit, but his tone was very cold. This made everyone present immediately see that in the eyes of Deputy Mayor Kuang, although Du Yan is the director of the new district and a dignified member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, he obviously cannot be compared with someone like Miss Wei who has both hands and eyes. This made the smile that was originally full of anger couldn't help but feel proud, and the anger on his face naturally became less. At the same time, he felt more favorable towards the deputy mayor who appeared out of nowhere, although He knew that the other party was deliberately currying favor with him because of the big shot behind him, but he still felt indescribably proud in his heart. She secretly winked at Director Liu next to her. Seeing this wink, Director Liu immediately took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to Deputy Mayor Kuang: "Hello, Deputy Mayor Kuang, my surname is Liu. He is a colleague of Miss Wei and the general director of this Hexi literary and art promotion activity. I can tell you about what happened just now. " "Hello, hello," Deputy Mayor Kuang immediately extended his hand. In his mind, he didn't really take this so-called guidance very seriously, but because he was Miss Wei's colleague, he naturally couldn't neglect it. "Excuse me, Director Liu, what happened just now?" Hearing Deputy Mayor Kuang speak, he asked directly What happened to Director Liu, instead of continuing to question Du Yan, the smarter people next to him already understood that Deputy Mayor Kuang was obviously planning to continue to listen to Director Liu's introduction, otherwise he would have believed it according to common sense. He would not listen to the introduction of his own people in front of so many people, but listen to the words of the party who was obviously in conflict with Du Yan. Seeing that Director Liu was about to speak, Chu Yilan finally couldn't help but said to Deputy Mayor Kuang: "Mayor Kuang, it's not convenient here. No matter what happens, this is our internal problem in Hexi. Let's It¡¯s not good for others to see it.¡± Hearing what Chu Yilan said, Deputy Mayor Kuang couldn¡¯t help but hesitate slightly. In fact, he just wanted to give Miss Wei some face by questioning Du Yan in front of so many people. "I have a good impression," Chu Yilan said, and he naturally realized that it was not appropriate to openly question a cadre of his city in a place like this. With this thought in his mind, he looked at Miss Wei, trying to find an excuse to slow down for a while. Ms. Wei¡¯s face, which was already smiling, sank. She glanced sideways at Chu Yilan, feeling even more unhappy. Speaking of which, she knew very well that the reason why these Hexi officials were trying so hard to curry favor with her was just because of the great god behind her. For her, perhaps these men themselves did not necessarily have any evil intentions. Seeing that although Chu Yilan was just standing there casually, she naturally showed the elegant temperament of a professional woman and an obviously well-educated woman, this made Miss Wei immediately feel an unspeakable evil fire in her heart! "Mayor Kuang, who is this?" Miss Wei asked coldly. At the same time, she deliberately looked Chu Yilan up and down, trying to find something wrong with her, but she was quickly disappointed. In addition to seeming a bit strong, Apart from losing some of her unique feminine charm, she couldn't find anything wrong with Chu Yilan. Moreover, Miss Wei, who had seen some big scenes, had already noticed that this eyebrow was quite charming, but it seemed that it was because of her slight appearance. The serious and somewhat beautiful female cadre should not be the kind of vase she often sees around leaders. "It seems that all of you Taihua cadres are really special. Do you always talk like this when you talk to the leaders?" She said He turned around and glared at Liu Jiahui, who had been watching this scene. Speaking of which, Miss Wei was somewhat resentful towards Liu Jiahui at this time. She did not expect that Mr. Liu, who was supposed to speak out for her, actually sat on the sidelines and did not even say a thing.Seeing herself being ignored by "little cadres" from a small place, she naturally felt angry that Liu Jiahui was deliberately making fun of her. Seeing Miss Wei's glare, Liu Jiahui frowned secretly. He naturally knew Miss Wei's background much better than others, so if someone else contradicted her, Liu Jiahui wouldn't mind standing up for her and selling a favor. , but now it is Du Yan who comes out, which makes it difficult for Liu Jiahui to come forward. Not to mention that although he is the director of the Supervision Office of the Provincial Department of Culture, and Du Yan is a deputy division level county director, the two have no jurisdiction at all. Just because Du Yan is his successor, Liu Jiahui even regrets following He. Guoliang came together to drown this muddy water. "Hello, Mayor Kuang," Han Qiushi, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke. His fair face was slightly red, and his straight thick eyebrows were slightly wrinkled together. Although his tone was slightly urgent, he sounded firm, "Introduce yourself, I am the director of the Provincial Department of Culture, and my name is Han Qiushi." "Oh?" Listen. Upon seeing Han Qiushi's self-introduction, Deputy Mayor Kuang glanced at He Guoliang, who had a gloomy expression next to him, with some confusion. He knew He Guoliang, so he was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of the cadre of the Provincial Department of Culture who introduced himself. However, he still stretched out his hand and shook Han Qiushi lightly, "Director Han, what can I do for you?" "That's right, I am in charge of what happened just now, so I want to introduce what happened to Mayor Kuang. " Han Qiushi continued, feeling that he had to stand up at this time. "Director Han, we are all leaders here, do you need to explain the situation?" He Guoliang really wanted to bite Han Qiushi. Although he and Liu Jiahui were on the same line, it seemed that something was not quite right now. , Liu Jiahui, who was supposed to hate Du Yan to the core, did not take the initiative to come forward. When he saw Chu Yilan behind Deputy Mayor Kuang, he felt that this matter seemed a bit not simple. Because of coincidence, he once accidentally saw Chu Yilan and Chu Ping, the current director of the National People's Congress, walking together. Seeing Chu Ping's affectionate expression with a beautiful young woman, He Guoliang naturally didn't think better of it at that time, but Later, when he found out that this woman was actually a deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee who held an important position, and her surname happened to be Chu, he knew that even if this woman was not Chu Ping's daughter, she was a close relative like a niece. Now that he saw that although Chu Yilan only said a word, he undoubtedly relieved Du Yan, He Guoliang knew that this might involve factional struggles within Taihua City. Thinking of Chu Yilan¡¯s background, He Guoliang regretted making such a big fuss over such a trivial matter. Even if Miss Wei had great eyes and hands, it was too far-fetched. The Chu family is the dominant force in Hexi, and Chu Ping has only retired for two years. Not only is his influence still very great, but it is said that he even joined forces with the provincial governor Gao Ke several times, and he broke up with the provincial party secretary Feng Zhenhuai. After a few tricks, if this woman from the Chu family had anything to do with Du Yan, and she offended Du Yan, it would be really unwise. Especially when he thought about Du Yanneng becoming the director of the new district at such a young age, and even reportedly taking over the position that Liu Jiahui took over, He Guoliang felt that his head was a bit bigger than others. Seeing He Guoliang's furious look, Du Yan wanted to laugh but also felt helpless. He didn't expect that a small actress could let so many dignified people do it just because there was a big boss with whom she had an ambiguous relationship behind her. State cadres were not only cautious, but even fearful. This naked attachment to power and the smell of rot behind it made Du Yan feel an indescribable disgust at this moment! "Mayor Kuang, let Miss Wei explain why," Du Yan looked at Deputy Mayor Kuang coldly. Not to mention that the deputy mayor was not a well-respected real power in Pingling. Characters, even Zhang Wenliang, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, "I think Miss Wei will be willing to talk about how she views Hexi Province." Hearing Du Yan's sarcastic tone, everyone present had strange expressions on their faces. , Miss Wei's face was already livid and red at times. She didn't expect that this stupid young man who appeared out of nowhere not only contradicted her in person, but even his boss didn't seem to accept it, which really made her think. The feeling of wanting to get angry but not knowing who to turn to. Looking at Miss Wei's ever-changing expression, Deputy Mayor Kuang also realized that what just happened might not be a good opportunity to curry favor with Miss Wei. Chu Yilan just said a few words and everything came to an end. Not only did this make him lose face, but more importantly, Miss Wei might even hate him because of this. Deputy Mayor Kuang, who was already riding a tiger, stared at Du Yan with a gloomy face. He said that he didn't like this young man. He was already a deputy director at a young age. It took him so many years to become a deputy director. The hardships involved Spicy is not even known to outsiders.?He had an instinctive dislike for the young people in front of him, and Chu Yilan next to him was already the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee at the deputy division level just because of his family background. But at this moment, Deputy Mayor Kuang suddenly noticed Liu Jiahui, who had been silent next to him. Liu Jiahui's father is the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. This old Kuang knows it very well. He has not only heard about the fact that Liu Jiahui's new district director was replaced by Du Yan, he even privately inquired about Du Yan because of this. How come he was able to pull this big tooth out of Mr. Liu's tiger's mouth. However, the news I got later was that Du Yan was from an ordinary background, and that he was able to replace Liu Jiahui entirely because of a coincidence, or simply because Mr. Liu made a stupid move and gave up the good new district director's position for nothing. That's why Du Yan picked up a ready-made bargain. Thinking of this and seeing Liu Jiahui standing nearby, who seemed to be ignoring him, Deputy Mayor Kuang had already started to think. If he could use this opportunity to attack Du Yan to gain Liu Jiahui's favor, he could then have a relationship with his father. Liu Ding, deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, established a relationship, which was the real close relationship. Looking at Du Yan and Chu Yilan again, Deputy Mayor Kuang felt that it was a silent irony towards himself, which made him unhappy from the beginning. Now that he saw Chu Yilan speaking for Du Yan again, A trace of unhappiness flashed across his wrinkled face, and then he said, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally: "Secretary-General Chu, you and Director Du have been a little busy these past two days, but I don't think you should bring personal judgment to the table just because of this. Come on at work." Chu Yilan's face showed a hint of red, or simply a hint of anger! She never expected that Deputy Mayor Kuang would directly hint at any ambiguity between her and Du Yan so mercilessly. It could be said that this was not what a leading cadre should say, but looking at Deputy Mayor Kuang's face With a darkened face, Chu Yilan knew that he was reminding herself not to speak for Du Yan in front of outsiders, otherwise he would not mind saying more words that would cause others to misunderstand. There was anger hidden in Chu Yilan's eyes. She really didn't expect that a deputy mayor would threaten her in such a dirty way. Although she knew that what happened in the past few days could not be hidden from others, it was one thing to spread it in private. , once this kind of thing is brought to the table, it is likely to affect her future, and even her father's arrangement for her to work in Pingling may be ruined. Seeing the hesitant look on Chu Yilan's face, Deputy Mayor Kuang snorted secretly. Although Chu Yilan had a rich background and was in an important position, Deputy Mayor Kuang believed that it was because of this that she was more capable. Knowing the serious relationship between this, he did not believe that Chu Yilan would willingly risk rumors and offend him head-on for Du Yan. What¡¯s more, aren¡¯t there already rumors that Chu Yilan will be transferred to a lower level to serve? I believe that at this time, she least wants any negative news to appear. "Director Du, no matter what happened just now, I hope you will apologize to Miss Wei," Deputy Mayor Kuang said to Du Yan in a condescending tone, "Miss Wei came to promote us during her busy schedule in order to repay her hometown. This alone should be respected by everyone. I hope you can understand this. As a cadre of Hexi and Taihua, your performance directly affects the external image of our Taihua and even Hexi." At this point, he turned around He immediately smiled and said to Miss Wei, "Ms. Wei, some of our cadres need to improve their quality. You are a national artist working in the capital. I hope you can bear with me, and I hope you can still vigorously promote our Hexi Province." Seeing Deputy Mayor Kuang's smiling face, Miss Wei's originally gloomy face finally slowly put on a smile. She first smiled and socialized with Deputy Mayor Kuang for a few words, and then looked sideways at Du Yan. Go, at this time she had almost forgotten about the little person Han Qiushi, and just wanted to see how the new district director, who was so proud just now, would apologize to her. Everyone looked at Du Yan. There were sarcasm, ridicule, indifference, and helplessness in their eyes. Anyone in the officialdom knows that no matter how fierce the fight is in private, openly disobeying the leader is absolutely not allowed, let alone contradicting the leader! This is the most basic official taboo. No matter what the reasons are, those who openly defy and contradict the leadership will be put into another book by everyone, and then labeled as non-reusable. Because doing this is challenging the foundation of the survival of the officialdom, and the survival of domestic officialdom relies on these rules that are absolutely not allowed to be violated! Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan, feeling a little uncomfortable for him. Because of the strange encounters in the past few days, although there has been a deliberate distance between him and Du Yan, in Chu Yilan's view, Du Yan is obviously more reliable than others, and because he is about to work in Pingling, Chu Yilan Yilan is also willing to regard Du Yan as one of her friends during her stay in Pingling.??Allies. Seeing Du Yan face such a situation now, Chu Yilan couldn't help but worry about him. If Du Yan did something excessive because of his youthful impulse, then what awaited him would be an unavoidable blow in the officialdom. Even her father Chu Ping would never speak out for Du Yan like this, because Du Yan violated the rules of the game that all officials must abide by. Under the gaze of people, Du Yan looked at Miss Wei, looking at the sarcastic and mocking face, Du Yan looked calm and no one could tell what he was thinking. Then, under people's gaze, he turned around and stretched out his hand again to Han Qiushi, who looked angry but helpless: "Comrade Qiushi, I just invited you to work in our new district, do you have any personal thoughts?" Hearing Du Yan suddenly mentioned the old conversation again at this time. Han Qiushi was stunned for a moment. Looking at Du Yan with a smile on his face, Han Qiushi then reached out his hand and held it tightly with Du Yan without hesitation. By this time, Han Qiushi had roughly guessed his future results. Maybe he would be transferred again soon after returning to Hexi, maybe to the provincial archives department, or even to a cultural center or the like below, but looking at it now Looking at this young director who was implicated because of him and even had to apologize to the arrogant and snobbish woman in person, Han Qiushi felt that his grievances really were nothing. "Director Du, if I really have that opportunity, I, Han Qiushi, can't guarantee anything else. You can trust me at work. I am willing to become a soldier under you." Han Qiushi expressed his stance without reservation. "Thank you, Comrade Qiushi." Du Yan and Han Qiushi held hands tightly together, and then he turned to He Guoliang, who was watching the excitement and said, "Where is the leader? Director Han's transfer order will be issued soon. I hope you can support us." Pingling's work. " "Let's wait until the transfer order comes, Director Du." He Guoliang said with a hint of ridicule. At this time, he felt that Du Yan was trying to save face. As for Han Qiushi, he had already taken care of it and would take care of it after he returned. He was transferred to a community cultural station down there, where he would have to live with those old men and women for the rest of his life until he retired. After Du Yan finished speaking, he turned and walked towards Miss Wei again. When he walked in front of Miss Wei, he quietly looked at the woman in front of him. ??Looking closely, this woman is pretty good-looking, but maybe because she is so good at sneaking around, she naturally has a slightly oily look, which somewhat destroys her original image of a young and pretty girl. "Director Du, Miss Wei is very busy," Director Liu said happily from the side, and then he deliberately said in a long voice, imitating the popular Hong Kong and Taiwan tune, "Can you please don't waste everyone's time?" Du Yan He tilted his head and glanced at the sarcastic Director Liu, and suddenly asked coldly: "Who are you? Is there any place for you to interrupt here?" As soon as these words came out, everyone present could not help but be stunned! "You!" Director Liu pointed his finger at Du Yan, and was so angry that he couldn't speak! Miss Wei's originally smug smile suddenly froze. She didn't expect that this young man would be so arrogant as to scold Director Liu in front of her. The so-called beating of a dog depends on the owner. Doesn't this mean he doesn't take her seriously at all? ? She opened her mouth to speak, but when she saw Du Yan's eyes looking at her, she was stunned. It was not only a look full of disdain, but even a look that didn't take her seriously at all. It was actually very familiar to her. It was the way some people looked at her, even if she tried desperately to curry favor with her. In the eyes of those people, even though she was so popular, she was actually just a group of people for their entertainment. Just a tool. "Miss Wei, I remember you should be working in the Capital Art Troupe, right?" Du Yan looked at Miss Wei coldly, "Then I don't know if you know Mr. Tan." "Mr. Tan, which Mr. Tan?" Miss Wei was a little confused. Asked doubtfully. "Tan Weiren, Mr. Tan, now serves as the deputy editor-in-chief of literature and art in the national news magazine." Du Yan asked calmly. After hearing Du Yan's words, Miss Wei's face instantly turned pale. Of course she knew who Mr. Tan Du Yan was talking about. Speaking of which, Mr. Tan was not only the founder of the Capital Art Troupe, but also a well-known art critic in the domestic literary and art circles. Home, it can be said that in the art circle, as long as Mr. Tan can name him, it can definitely be said to be a leap of faith. On the contrary, if someone is criticized by Mr. Tan, it may mean that this person's road in the literary and art circles has come to an end, because Mr. Tan is not only a literary critic, but also a news insider with a strong official background. Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Literature and Art. Under the special environment in China, the literary and art circles at this time cannot completely get rid of the relationship with politics. Especially actors like Miss Wei who still belong to the system are completely dependent on the huge protective umbrella of the system. to develop. "You, how do you know Mr. Tan?" Miss Wei asked through gritted teeth. She hoped that Du Yan was just scaring her. Maybe he just heard Mr. Tan's name from somewhere, so she took it out in desperation to pass the test. . "You can just call me if you know me." Du Yan stopped looking at Miss Wei. He took out his notebook from his bag and flipped through it. Then he turned back to Han Qiushi and said, "Qiushi, please take note of this." Call this number." Han Qiushi immediately walked over and looked at the number on his notebook. He knew that by doing so, he had completely offended He Guoliang, but at this point, there was no room for discussion. Although he thought that Du Yan would not be deceived, Han Qiushi couldn't help but asked with some doubts after looking at the number: "The number in the capital?" "This is the number of Mr. Tan's office," Du Yan smiled faintly, "If you tell the other party, just say me. It's Du Yan. "Although the communication technology at this time was still relatively backward, the preparations for the Fair were still in place. At least the provincial negotiation department's exhibition area had connected external telephones. Seeing Han Qiushi turn around and walk into a cubicle, Everyone couldn't help but look at Du Yan, and Miss Wei's face was now blue and white, gloomy. After a while, Han Qiushi walked out of the cubicle, but the look on his face was a little strange, and he looked at Du Yan as if he was confused. "Director Du, please answer the phone over there." After a pause, Han Qiushi suddenly raised his voice and said, "It's Mr. Tan who answered the phone." Hearing Han Qiushi say this, everyone couldn't help but be surprised! Although many people don't know who Mr. Tan is, everyone knows the National News Agency that Du Yan just mentioned. It is the mouthpiece of the party and the country and the most influential official in the country. The media is a department that truly has direct access to Tianting, and what is the concept of the deputy editor-in-chief of literature and art in the news magazine? Feeling the complicated eyes of the people next to him, when he passed by Han Qiushi, Du Yan reached out and patted his shoulder gently: "Qiushi, not bad." After saying that, Du Yan turned around and showed his face to Miss Wei He gave a slightly sarcastic smile: "Miss Wei, let's go and answer Mr. Tan's call together." "No, I won't answer Mr. Tan's call." The expression on Miss Wei's face had completely changed at this time. It is very clear that even if she has a backstage, she will always be just a plaything in the eyes of others. If she is named by Mr. Tan, her backstage will never stand up for a mere her, no matter how pampered she is. In the eyes of those big shots, women like them will always be just playthings. How could they go to a political figure in the literary and artistic circles like Mr. Tan for her? The reason why she was valued by that big shot was just that. It's because of the little fame he gained before. If even this bit of fame is gone, then his interest in him will soon disappear. After all, there are too many actresses who are more beautiful and have potential than him. "Miss Wei, it's rude to make Mr. Tan wait," Du Yan said lightly. He didn't want to leave any room for this woman. It wasn't that he would retaliate, but that this woman never left room for others from the beginning. This kind of person doesn't mind giving him a hard beating. "I don't need to say what I want to say." No one knew what Miss Wei, who was heavy on her feet, said after following Du Yan in. But after a while, when the two After the individual came out of the cubicle, people saw Miss Wei following behind with a forced smile on her face. When she saw Deputy Mayor Kuang's inquiring eyes, she paused first, and then seemed to get angry. As if determined, he suddenly turned around and bowed to the female staff member of the Department of Culture behind Han Qiushi! "I'm sorry, I had a bad attitude before, please forgive me!" When Miss Wei said this, her face was already purple, and the distortion that seemed to explode at any time but tried her best to suppress it made the people next to her see. I can't help but feel so strange. "The people next to him were stunned by Miss Wei's sudden move. The female staff member was also frightened by Miss Wei's sudden move. She instinctively wanted to move aside, but because Han Qiushi was hiding next to her, she couldn't, and her face turned red for a while. "Mayor Kuang, Miss Wei has realized her previous mistakes," but Du Yan didn't want to let the matter go. Ever since Cui Jianbin took the opportunity to transfer himself from Pingling, everyone seemed to think that he was a pushover. He is a soft persimmon, and the clay figures are still earthy, not to mention young cadres who are supposed to be young and energetic. If I don't take the opportunity to show some vague background and strong side at this time, maybe those people will really Thinking that he is easy to bully, "Do you think I still need to apologize to Miss Wei?" He looked at Du Yan without blinking.?Staring at himself, Deputy Mayor Kuang felt like two needles were piercing his face at this time, and Du Yan's words hit him directly in the face without mercy in front of everyone! Deputy Mayor Kuang is not sure about Du Yan's relationship in the capital, but he is not too worried. After all, the capital is still far away. Even if he has a relationship, it is not so easy to directly intervene in Taihua. There is local officialdom. Rules, no matter how good your background is, you can¡¯t break everyone¡¯s rules. But now Du Yan¡¯s question, which at least did not turn against him on the surface but showed no mercy, made Deputy Mayor Kuang feel like he was being slapped in the face. Deputy Mayor Kuang looked at Du Yan with a dark face. He was really regretful at this moment. He originally thought he would have a chance to talk to Miss Wei, but he didn't expect that it would end up like this. Seeing Du What he meant was that he was obviously not prepared to save face for himself, which really annoyed him to the extreme. "Director Du, is it all a misunderstanding to apologize or not to apologize?" Liu Jiahui, who was standing next to him, finally spoke. He walked over with a smile and took Du Yan's hand. "Miss Wei is a famous actor from Hexi. Hexi is Miss Wei's natal family, and you, Director Du, are also natal, so why don't you apologize? Everyone is too outspoken. " "It's just a little misunderstanding and it's over with a laugh. You can't be so serious. "He Guoliang also came over with a haha. At this time, he was secretly glad that he had not completely offended Director Du. It seems that it is not that easy to become the new district director at a young age, let alone the chair. It was still snatched from Young Master Liu's hand. The ugly expression on Deputy Mayor Kuang's face slowly eased. He glanced at Liu Jiahui secretly gratefully. If Liu Jiahui hadn't come forward to smooth things over, he wouldn't have known how to step down. He never expected that this gangster named Du would actually He pushed him into the corner without mercy. "Since it's all a misunderstanding, forget it, Xiao Du, I'm not talking about you. Although Miss Wei is from Hexi, she has been away for so many years. We still have to treat her as a guest. There are still some things that we should pay attention to. Be careful, you can¡¯t let people say that we in Hexi are too casual,¡± Deputy Mayor Kuang said in a casual tone that seemed to be a complaint after he laughed. "Hey Mayor Kuang, I don't like hearing what you are saying. What's going on? Do you really treat me like an outsider?" Miss Wei, who had completely recovered her composure at this time, asked with an angry expression, but her expression was Deputy Mayor Kuang couldn't help but feel hot in his heart after seeing it, but he didn't dare to show it, not only because there were so many people watching, but more importantly, although it seemed that Miss Wei was deflated this time, she could The person behind her was rumored to be the one he, Deputy Mayor Kuang, could never afford to offend. "How can it not be possible? Hexi is Miss Wei's natal family. Who can deny this? Let's do it this way. Our Taihua Group will treat us tonight. Can we apologize to Miss Wei?" Deputy Mayor Kuang responded to Miss Wei's words. As he continued, he said that he still valued the relationship behind Miss Wei, and he would not give up easily if he had such an opportunity. "Mayor Kuang, you are not stealing the business of our Provincial Department of Culture. Miss Wei was invited by our Provincial Department. We have already arranged the evening. Why don't you all come over and let's have some fun together." He Guoliang immediately stepped forward to join in the fun. As time passed, it seemed that the unhappiness just now had completely disappeared, and everything was completely peaceful. Seeing the scene in front of her, the young female cadre of the Provincial Department of Culture looked at Han Qiushi in astonishment. She never imagined that just now she looked like she was going to fall out at any time, but after a while these people actually looked like they were fine. It was as if those things had never happened at all, which made this young girl who had just graduated feel incredible. Han Qiushi also looked at the farce in front of him with some emotion. Although he had been in the agency for a long time, perhaps because of his father's influence, Han Qiushi could never accept the things that had penetrated into the bone marrow of agency cadres. If you are poor, you can be alone, and if you are prosperous, you can help the world. This concept that has been inherited by tradition for many years has always made Han Qiushi unable to integrate into the atmosphere that made him incompatible. Even though his many years of experience in the agency have taught him that people with sharp edges can , could not tolerate this environment at all, but he still could not completely let go. Chu Yilan was also a little unbelievable, but she was interested in Du Yan. Although Du Yan seems to have become the new district director because of his relationship with the Song family, he does not have a strong background. She has already confirmed this information from many channels. Since he is going to work in Pingling, it is very important for him to Of course, the main leaders of Ling must be studied carefully. And Du Yan, a new political star in Pingling who suddenly appeared, is the focus of her attention. After all, this person seems to have some unexplained relationship with the Song family.??, and reaching some kind of contact with the Song family is the most critical part of her tenure in Pingling. But now it seems that Du Yan's sudden personal relationship has made Chu Yilan feel a little confused. She doesn't understand how Du Yan, who comes from a pure working class family, can be with someone like the deputy editor-in-chief of a news magazine who is not only famous in the domestic news circle. It can be said to be highly anticipated, and it is even more related to important figures with strong official background. This made Chu Yilan think that this young cadre might not be just a chess piece of the Song family in Hexi, although it was quite useful, but not crucial, as her father said. "Director Du, how about we all get together in the evening?" He Guoliang had a smile on his fat face. This is the case in domestic officialdom. Even if you were fighting to the death just now, everyone can show unity in front of outsiders as long as they turn around. Scenes, if you cannot learn these, it only means that your political quality is not enough. "If Mayor Kuang attends, I will definitely be there," Du Yan smiled faintly. Seeing that Deputy Mayor Kuang's originally slightly unhappy face finally showed a smile after hearing this, the corners of Du Yan's mouth turned up slightly unnoticeably. As soon as I raised my eyebrows, I couldn't help but think to myself, Lao Kuang, although he is about to fall back to the second line, he still puts too much emphasis on fame and fortune. Thinking like this, Du Yan looked at Chu Yilan. Although he had already thought about how to deal with this woman after seeing Miss Wei, Chu Yilan could speak out when he was in the most difficult time. No matter what his thoughts were, he was still a little moved. "Secretary-general Chu, let's all get together tonight." Liu Jiahui showed a slightly meaningful smile to Chu Yilan. Liu Jiahui actually valued the daughter of the director of the Provincial People's Congress, but the Chu family seemed to be quite low-key. , and Liu Jiahui himself was not very public when he was in Pingling, so the opportunities for real contact were much less. "Okay, it just so happens that Director Du and I are both living in the Provincial Residential Office, so we will definitely bother you when the time comes." Chu Yilan replied with a slight smile. She guessed that Liu Jiahui must have heard about the news that the two of them were living in the Provincial Residential Office. You can't hide this kind of thing even if you want to. Since this is the case, it's better to just admit it, which will give some people no excuse. With this thought in her mind, Chu Yilan had a habitual smile on her face, but maybe it was because she had always felt so unapproachable, so even though she didn't look very enthusiastic. Looking at Chu Yilan¡¯s expression, Liu Jiahui had other thoughts in his mind. Although he didn¡¯t know much about Chu Yilan and Du Yan¡¯s strange move into the Provincial Residency Office in the first two days, he still heard some rumors. This made Liu Jiahui start to wonder. Of course Liu Jiahui knew that his father and Liang Benchu ??were close, but this did not allow him to tolerate Du Yan "taking away" his position as the director of the new district. Now that he sees that Chu Yilan seems to have some kind of unexplainable relationship with Du Yan, Liu Jiahui feels even more uncomfortable. And at this moment, following a vague commotion, several leaders-looking people, surrounded by a group of cadres, walked over from the corridor of the distant exhibition area. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 40 I'm really low-key If a group of people are walking together, it is actually easy to identify who is the leader. In the domestic officialdom, even if you make some mistakes in front of leaders, you may still have a chance to make up for it, but if you make some mistakes, you will definitely die without a burial place. Among them, your position and ranking in public are important. The most important thing. The leader should always be in the middle and the most conspicuous place, and when the leader is walking, the people next to him are even more particular. They can neither walk in front and steal the leader's limelight, nor be too far behind, leaving the leader to wait. You even have to turn around to take care of you, and at the same time, you have to look serious at all times to listen to the leader's instructions. So in this way, I saw a group of people coming from a distance. Someone in the front was carrying a camera to take pictures, and someone behind was holding a small book to record at any time. The people accompanying them on both sides seemed to have learned the crab skills and moved sideways coquettishly. Surrounded by several people, Vice Mayor Kuang and the others immediately realized that these people had a lot of background, and they might even be the main leaders of the organizers of Shanghai. "The director is the leader of the Shencheng Municipal Committee," a provincial department staff member with good eyes said to He Guoliang hurriedly, "I see that the reporter in front of me seems to be Miss Xiaotong, the news anchor of Shencheng TV station." "Oh? "He Guoliang squinted his eyes and then looked at Liu Jiahui. At this time, of course he had to follow Liu Jiahui's lead. If he saw other leaders who were too enthusiastic, maybe Mr. Liu would have thoughts about him. "Director Liu, you "Look?" "Shencheng leaders, let's prepare." Liu Jiahui nodded. Although he didn't know exactly which leader was coming to inspect, this kind of preparation is necessary, even if they just passed by him. But if you neglect it, it will be a big problem, not to mention that Shencheng is originally a sub-provincial city, and the leaders of Shencheng are on the same level as the provincial league leaders here, so they cannot be neglected. "Secretary-General Chu, let's go back and make preparations?" Deputy Mayor Kuang turned back to Chu Yilan and said that he was also a little anxious. After all, the Taihua Negotiation Group's original preparations were not sufficient, not to mention that inland cities have always lagged behind. If you are poorly prepared, you might be laughed at. "Okay, Mayor Kuang, let's go back first." Chu Yilan nodded. She gave Du Yan a slight wink, preparing to take the opportunity to pull him away quickly. "Mayor Kuang, there's no need to leave in a hurry," Miss Wei, who was standing next to her, suddenly spoke. She had been looking at the group of people walking past. When she saw a young woman holding a microphone in front of the team, , a slightly proud smile suddenly appeared on her face, "I know the kid from Shencheng City Platform, Mayor Kuang, Director Liu, if I don't wait for them to come over, I can introduce it to you, and maybe there will be a chance to introduce it to you in Shencheng City." If you want to do an exclusive interview with the city TV station, it will be a good introduction to promote investment in Hexi, right? " "Is that okay? Miss Wei?" Deputy Mayor Kuang showed a hint of joy, although no one in Taihua City is optimistic about this. There are no good results from participating in the China International Trade Fair, but if you can really show up on Shanghai TV, you might be able to attract some investors. This is definitely a good opportunity for Deputy Mayor Kuang to show your face. . "Of course, I came forward to tell them that even the director of Shanghai TV Station has to give some face," Miss Wei showed a slightly satisfied smile on her face. At the same time, she secretly glanced at Du Yan, and at the same time, her eyes flashed. With a trace of hatred, she would never tolerate this person letting her be so humiliated. As long as there was a chance, she would find a way to get this place back, and now it seemed that the chance had come. Miss Wei said and glanced at Liu Jiahui at the same time. Because Liu Jiahui started to pretend to be deaf and dumb, she also hated Liu Jiahui. Now she saw that Liu Jiahui was going back to prepare for the leaders from Shanghai to inspect, she He deliberately stopped Deputy Mayor Kuang in order to make Liu Jiahui feel uncomfortable whether he left or stayed. At this moment, the group of people had already approached, because it was very conspicuous for a group of people to walk like this. The manufacturers from various places that were originally in the aisle had already given way to the road, and people stood on both sides of the aisle waiting for the leaders to pass by. Du Yan was standing among the staff of the Hexi Province business negotiation group. Liu Jiahui had already sent someone to invite a deputy governor who led the delegation. It was interesting to say that, like Taihua, the head of the Hexi Province investment group was also a deputy governor. The deputy governor is about to retire from the second line. It can be seen that from top to bottom, Hexi Province does not have high hopes for any good results at the Shencheng Spring Fair. When Vice Governor Ou heard the news and hurried over from behind, the leaders of Shanghai City were already approaching. Vice Governor Ou immediately took a few steps forward. When he saw Miss Wei standing in front of the staff, At this time, although he was slightly stunned, he did not say anything, but smiled at the leaders of Shencheng who had seen them and were walking slowly. When I saw Vice Governor Ou appearing in front of the Hexi delegation, among the people walking over, there were already accompanying staff.?The leaders walking in front reminded in low voices. Standing in the crowd, Du Yan was quite surprised to find that among the accompanying people, there seemed to be Cheng Huaimin who had just visited the day before. "Governor Ou, you didn't take good care of me when you came all the way." The person shaking hands with Governor Ou was Peng Bo, member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee and Executive Vice Governor of East Guangdong Province. Although the Fair was held in the name of Shanghai, , but because Shenzhen City is at the sub-provincial level, and the Fair is actually an important window for Eastern Guangdong to showcase the speed of the special zone and the achievements of reform and opening up, so all previous Fairs have received special attention from the Eastern Guangdong Provincial Committee. ¡°In the past, most of the people who came to inspect the fair were a full-time deputy secretary from eastern Guangdong, but this time it was Peng Bo, the executive deputy governor, who came forward, which was somewhat surprising. "Governor Peng, you are so polite. Although our Hexi Provincial delegation is here to attract investment, we are more here to learn. The speed of the special zone is amazing." Vice Governor Ou also smiled, but he There is some perfunctoriness in the smiles. Although they are both deputy governors, one is a young executive with a prosperous official career, while the other is an old man who is about to retreat to the second line. The gap between them is noticeable even to outsiders. It can be seen that it would be fine if they don't stand together. Now that they are standing together and competing like this, Vice Governor Ou naturally feels a little bored. "Governor Ou, you are so humble. Speaking of which, our inland provinces are blessed with rich resources. We along the coast are greedy for them. We still need to communicate more with each other in the future." Bloomberg couldn't help but smile and shake hands with Vice Governor Ou. , at this moment, Miss Wei, who was standing not far behind Vice Governor Ou, suddenly took two steps forward and raised her voice to say hello to the female reporter who was standing near Bloomberg with a microphone: "Little boy, you Are you here?" Hearing Miss Wei's sudden greeting, the people who were watching the exchange between the two governors couldn't help but look towards her. At the same time, two "staff members" with serious faces and burly bodies immediately came closer. passed. "Wei, Miss Wei?" The female reporter looked at Miss Wei in surprise. Although she had just noticed Miss Wei standing in front of the crowd in the Hexi group, she did not expect that she would suddenly talk to her in front of so many people. She said hello to herself, which made her a little overwhelmed, and even looked at the two provincial governors who also looked over in panic. "It turns out to be Miss Wei." At this moment, Peng Bo, who seemed to have noticed Miss Wei, glanced at her. After the two staff members heard the sound and stepped back, he nodded to Miss Wei, "Miss Wei, this is Are you here to participate in the performance? ""Governor Peng knows Miss Wei?" Vice Governor Ou asked with a smile. At first, he secretly blamed the staff around him for not knowing the meaning of it and let Miss Wei stand in front of the team. Now he saw Bloomberg actually knew this popular singer, which made him think that maybe he could use this to contact Bloomberg more. "Ms. Wei is from Hexi. This time she came to cheer for her hometown. Peng Province "Governor Ou, please take more care of me." "Governor Ou, brothers should help each other," Pengbo glanced at Miss Wei and ignored her, but continued to talk with Vice Governor Ou with a smile. . Miss Wei's face turned slightly pale. She had only thought that it was the leader of Shencheng who came to inspect the venue, so she wanted to take the opportunity to gain some face for herself. However, she did not expect that the leader who came over was the executive deputy governor of Eastern Guangdong. Although she had also met the deputy governor in the capital, she was not arrogant enough to think that Bloomberg would give her much face. But she never expected that Bloomberg really didn't pay attention to her at all. She just stood not far from the two leaders, neither advancing nor retreating. Only then did she realize that, In the eyes of these real senior officials, I really am nothing. And at this moment, an unexpected scene appeared. Cheng Huaimin, who was standing behind Bloomberg, suddenly walked out. Under the gaze of people, he walked slowly to the Hexi cadres standing outside and waved to Du Yan, who was standing in the crowd. . "Xiao Du, come here." Following Cheng Huaimin's gesture, people couldn't help but cast their eyes towards Du Yan at the same time. Even the two leaders who were talking couldn't help but stop and look over here! Du Yan was slightly surprised by Cheng Huaimin's actions, but he was immediately relieved. Under people's gaze, Du Yan strode through the crowd and walked to Cheng Huaimin, bowed slightly, and then said with a smile: "Hello, Secretary Cheng." " Hearing Du Yan's name, a slightly meaningful smile appeared on Cheng Huaimin's face: "Xiao Du, what's wrong? Yesterday, I said that the meat rice dumplings made by your Aunt Chen were delicious. " Hearing this, Cheng Huaimin said. Said, the people next to him couldn't help but look shocked. Although some people still didn't know who Cheng Huaimin was, but from where he stood not far from Bloomberg,??, you know that he is obviously the main leader in eastern Guangdong or Shencheng. People who know Cheng Huaimin are even more incredible. No one would have thought that this member of the Standing Committee of the Shencheng City Committee and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee would actually treat a small Hexi The cadre was so kind and pleasant, and there was even a hint of personal friendship in his words. Seeing Cheng Huaimin like this, Du Yan, who had roughly understood what was going on, was secretly happy. He knew that Cheng Huaimin did this to repay the favor he had revealed to him about Hong Ziming's car smuggling. Since he had such a golden opportunity, he Naturally, we must not let it go. With this thought in his mind, Du Yan's face changed from serious to relaxed. At the same time, he said in a respectful and slightly friendly tone: "Uncle Cheng, aren't you the leader now? How can I be so disrespectful in front of the leader?" You know how to advance and retreat." "Slippery." Cheng Huaimin pointed at Du Yan and nodded slightly, with a slight smile on his face. The eyes of the people next to him had completely changed at this time. It is not a good thing for the leader to say the word "slippery", but it also depends on where he said it. Although Cheng Huaimin seemed to say it casually, there was something in it. That means it's great. There is no need to explain the meaning of having a leader speak in such a tone in front of so many people. "Huaimin, have you met an acquaintance?" Peng Bo, who was standing not far away, asked with a smile. "A junior, working in Hexi, not very popular." Cheng Huaimin nodded to Du Yan, turned around and walked back behind Bloomberg, and Bloomberg also glanced at Du Yan, and then continued to talk to Deputy Governor Ou Have a long conversation. Du Yan, who retreated into the crowd, clearly felt the change in the eyes of the people around him. He knew what Cheng Huaimin meant by doing this, and he had returned his favor. Although he felt that it was not worth it, Du Yan also knew that with his current situation It can be said that Cheng Huaimin has benefited a lot from his simple words. What's more important is that at this time, it is no less than timely rain for him. Feeling Chu Yilan's slightly doubtful eyes next to him, Du Yan looked at her and smiled at the same time. He knew that Chu Yilan must feel a little strange to him now. After all, he was from an ordinary worker's family. It was impossible for her not to know that it was precisely because of this that when she revealed to herself the relationship between Ding Bingxian and her father Chu Ping, she seemed so condescending, as if she was showing favor to herself. But now that Cheng Huaimin and himself suddenly acted like this, Du Yan believed that Chu Yilan must be surprised and at the same time reconsider how to get along with him. Du Yan was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was still calm. He knew that others must be trying to figure out his roots at this time. Although Cheng Huaimin might feel that he had returned his favor after performing such a play, Du Yan did not. He didn't want to just end the relationship with Cheng Huaimin, because he knew that if he guessed correctly, there might be some kind of subtle relationship between Cheng Huaimin and Song Youbo. If he used it well, then this relationship would probably be possible. It became the link between myself and Cheng Huaimin. Perhaps there is still a huge gap between himself and Cheng Huaimin that is simply insurmountable, and even if he has this relationship, it may not have any immediate effect, but Du Yan is confident that one day this relationship will have an effect. And he also believed that since Song Youbo could still pay so much attention to Cheng Huaimin, this person might play a big role sooner or later. When Du Yan was thinking this, the brief exchange between the two leaders had ended. Amid a burst of applause, Bloomberg and his party continued to walk forward. Vice Governor Ou, who had just turned around and walked back, saw that he was standing there. Du Yan in the crowd hesitated for a moment and then waved to him. "Xiao Du, come on." Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Du Yan once again walked through the crowd and stood in front of Vice Governor Ou. "Governor, hello." Listening to Du Yan's omission of his last name, Vice Governor Ou felt slightly comfortable. A smile appeared on his face and he asked: "Where do young people work?" "Report Governor, I work in Taihua." Du Yan answered easily and respectfully. His relaxed attitude seemed normal to Vice Governor Ou who had already preconceived the idea. "Governor, Xiao Du serves as the new district director of our Taihua New Economic Zone." Vice Mayor Kuang introduced with a smile on his face. He was a little nervous at this time, although Cheng Huaimin's actions surprised him. After all, the two parties were in different places, so he was not very worried. However, seeing that Vice Governor Ou suddenly became interested in Du Yan, Vice Mayor Kuang felt uneasy. Although Du Yan is only a deputy director and he is a deputy director, there is a difference of two levels, but Du Yan is only twenty-five years old this year, and he is already about to retire.Thinking of this, Deputy Mayor Kuang started to feel a little nervous. "New district? Pingling New Economic Zone in Taihua?" After hearing Deputy Mayor Kuang's introduction, Vice Governor Ou glanced at Du Yan in surprise, Pingling? The water is so deep here! "Yes, the governor really knows our situation in Taihua." Vice Mayor Kuang had a smile on his face, but he was even more uneasy. Vice Governor Ou knew that there was nothing wrong with Pingling County, but he mentioned Pingling as soon as he opened his mouth. Lingxin District, what happened here is worth recalling. At least this shows that since Pingling New Economic Zone has been registered in the province, Du Yan, the director of the new district, must have fallen into the eyes of some provincial bosses. . Thinking of this, Deputy Mayor Kuang really wanted to raise his hand and slap himself in the mouth! "Xiao Du, do you know Secretary Cheng from Shencheng?" Vice Governor Ou asked seemingly casually. "Governor, Secretary Cheng and I are not very familiar, we just have some friendship between elders." Du Yan said with a smile. At this time, the more vague some things are, the easier it is for people to figure it out. This is the effect we want. "That's it," Vice Governor Ou responded lightly. He seemed to inadvertently glance at Miss Wei, who was standing not far away and still looked embarrassed, and then continued, "Xiao Du, our Hexi Province Investment Promotion Team will Our task is not light. The Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government are very concerned about our achievements in attracting investment. Since you have some relationship with Shencheng, you should share more with the province. See if you can talk to Secretary Cheng about it. Shencheng TV station will conduct a promotional interview for Hexi. Nowadays, we pay attention to the aroma of wine and are afraid of the deep alleys. It is a good thing to promote our investment environment and rich resources in Hexi. Xiao Du, this is a political task given to you by the organization. " Vice Governor Ou's words made Du Yan really startled. He didn't expect that Lao Ou would take the idea of ??him so quickly. It seems that becoming the deputy governor is not that simple. Just let him find Cheng Huaimin? Du Yan secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that although Cheng Huaimin's previous actions were to return his favor, it actually also contained some hidden meaning of drawing a clear line with him. When he was not standing on a level that could attract Cheng Huaimin's attention at all. , Cheng Huaimin obviously didn't want him to have too much involvement with him through Hong Ziming's incident. Favors are like cash machines, you withdraw them one at a time, and Cheng Huaimin has completely returned his favor this time. If he continues to bother others without the sense of humor, he will not only be looked down upon by others, but may even be regarded as someone who does not know how to advance or retreat. Is it possible to use Song Youbo¡¯s relationship to contact Cheng Huaimin so soon? This idea flashed through Du Yan's mind quickly, but he immediately rejected it. Song Youbo's relationship is definitely heavyweight, but it must not be used easily, or even touched easily, because maybe at this time, Song Youbo is also observing himself. If he loses his temper just because of a little difficulty, If he easily uses a heavyweight support like Song Youbo, in Song Youbo's eyes, he may soon be labeled as unworthy. Du Yan was thinking so quickly in his mind, but his face remained calm. Facing Vice Governor Ou's looking eyes, Du Yan replied with a smile: "Governor, I don't know if this can be done, but I promise you that I will try my best to do it. ""Okay, Xiao Du, do it well. If you do it, I will give you a credit." After speaking, Vice Governor Ou raised his hand gently under the unexpected gaze of the people next to him. He patted Du Yan's arm, then turned and walked forward. "Xiao Du, do your best and don't let down the hopes of the provincial leaders." As soon as Vice Governor Ou left, Vice Mayor Kuang stretched out his hand and shook it with Du Yan, with a smile on his face. "Xiao Du, this time It's up to you. Not to mention our Taihua Group, even the provincial investment group is counting on you to help. If you need anything, just ask us, and we will fully cooperate with you. " "Yes, Director Du, as long as we can complete the European province. Our Department of Culture will also fully cooperate with the president¡¯s request. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to ask.¡± He Guoliang also came up and laughed, his chubby face looking full of enthusiasm. Looking at the enthusiastic faces in front of him, Du Yan couldn't help but sneer secretly. He knew that these people were actually watching his own joke. This was probably what the so-called flattery looked like. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? For these people, if the matter is accomplished with their assistance, if it is not accomplished, then all the responsibility is entirely his. Du Yan couldn't help but feel annoyed when he thought of these things. These people were incapable of doing their jobs, but they were trying to manipulate people into playing power, and each was smarter than the other. Du Yan's eyes glanced to the side, just in time to meet Chu Yilan's slightly worried eyes. Although he knew that Chu Yilan's worries may not be entirely for his sake, Du Yan still felt a little comfort in his heart, at least around him people are not completely indifferent. With this thought in his mind, Du Yan tried his best to hide his disgust, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to Deputy Mayor Kuang, and then went to do it.Get out immediately with any excuse. He knew that the only one he could find at this time was Zhao Xiaoyun. Although he might be eaten by that girl, as long as he passed this hurdle first, Du Yan believed that he still had a chance to gain the upper hand. of. Zhao Xiaoyun and the others' exhibition area is a little far away from the Hexi Investment Promotion Group, perhaps deliberately to make a difference. Although they are also in the area of ??the Hexi Investment Promotion Group, you can see the company's huge nameplate from a distance, which makes it look like they are in the Hexi Province Investment Promotion Group. Tell others who you are out loud. In a small cubicle, Du Yan saw Zhao Xiaoyun who was very busy. Speaking of which, Zhao Xiaoyun is really pitiful, because Qiao Luowei seems to have disappeared during this period. Zhao Xiaoyun has completely become Qiao Luowei's agent, although it is impossible to operate in an astonishingly sophisticated way like Qiao Luowei. company, but Zhao Xiaoyun still tried his best to carry out all the instructions left by Qiao Luowei. Just like this, the female bodyguard who had always only needed to use her hands was forced to start using her brain. "No!" Zhao Xiaoyun said coldly. "Xiaoyun, you really don't want to help me?" Du Yan looked at Zhao Xiaoyun helplessly. "Thanks for your words, do you want me to find a competitor for myself?" Zhao Xiaoyun looked at Du Yan angrily. "Xiaoyun, do you think the Song family can monopolize Hexi's resources?" Du Yan asked funnyly, "I think if the old man of the Song family had the same idea as you, the Song family would have been finished decades ago." "You are doing your harm. Me?" Zhao Xiaoyun's face turned red. Just as she was about to raise her hand, she was already hugged by Du Yan, who was already prepared. "Let go, don't mess around here." Zhao Xiaoyun shouted uneasily, while keeping his eyes on her. The white canvas curtains kept shaking between the partitions. "Xiaoyun, Cheng Huaimin returned my favor this time, but he also pushed me to the forefront. Whether I can pass this test depends entirely on you." Du Yan said with a wry smile, "Also, this time Xiao Aihong may Will go to another level, you turn around and say to Mr. Qiao, let the Song family pay more attention to their investment in the East China Sea, maybeI mean maybe, there may be movement 'over there'" Seeing Du Yan talking, he raised his head. Pointing, Zhao Xiaoyun's face couldn't help but change. Of course she knew what Du Yan was implying, which made her secretly wonder. If it was as Du Yan expected, then not only Shanghai, but also the entire domestic political situation might change! Sensing Zhao Xiaoyun's nervousness, Du Yan held her in his arms with slight force. "Xiaoyun, just bring these words to Mr. Qiao. Let Mr. Qiao and the old man of the Song family talk about it. I believe the old man will make a decision." Du Yan said, reaching out and touching Zhao Xiaoyun's smooth cheek. "Wife, tell me, Is this news enough for you to help me? " "Who is your wife?" Although he was very happy to be held by Du Yan, Zhao Xiaoyun still struggled out of his arms because he was worried about being hit. "Okay, then. I will help you this time." At this point, Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly looked at Du Yan with a strange look: "Tell me, did you let Su Qian go to the East China Sea?" Du Yan looked proud. He collapsed immediately. He looked at Zhao Xiaoyun with a guilty conscience. After a while, he scratched his forehead and said with embarrassment: "I asked Su Qian to go to the East China Sea because I wanted her to use her talents. You know, she She has a natural acumen for things like financial transactions. " Listening to Du Yan's nonsense, Zhao Xiaoyun just tilted her head and looked at him silently. It wasn't until Du Yan started to feel uneasy that she nodded with determination: " Don't worry, I will definitely help you if I promise you. " Du Yan left with full of doubts. Although Zhao Xiaoyun's expression made him feel a little unsure, he knew Zhao Xiaoyun's temperament and knew that no matter what, Zhao Xiaoyun would always do it. Will do what he says. But what Du Yan didn¡¯t expect this time was that Zhao Xiaoyun¡¯s words seemed to go too far. "Excuse me, is Director Du of Pingling New District, Taihua City, Hexi Province here?" Hearing this Mandarin with a slightly unique accent from eastern Guangdong, Du Yan, who was discussing work with several colleagues, raised his head and looked outside. When he saw a When Zhang seemed to be familiar with the beautiful face, with the dazzling flash, a microphone was stretched directly in front of him. "Are you Director Du?" "Yes, I am Du Yan. Are you" "Hello, Director Du." ," the beautiful woman in front of her said with a smile, "I am Xiaotong, the host of the economic program of Shanghai TV. Today you are the interviewee of our China International Trade Fair Rising Stars program. Can you please say a few words to the audience in front of the TV? " Looking at it? Looking at the beautiful face of the female reporter named Xiaotong in front of him, and then looking at a group of colleagues with envy and jealousy on their faces, Du Yan finally figured out what the weird expression on Zhao Xiaoyun's face meant when he agreed to help him.   Facing the microphone stretched out in front of his face, Du Yan just wanted to say: "Brother is really low-key." However, this interview was destined to fail, just when Du Yan was worrying about how to deal with this person in front of him When the female host was on duty, Chu Yilan suddenly walked in from outside! Seeing the strange look on Chu Yilan's face, Du Yan was just stunned when Chu Yilan already ignored the interview and pulled him aside after greeting him for a while. "Director Du, Secretary Cui of the municipal party committee just called and asked you to return to Taihua immediately." Chu Yilan lowered her voice and said urgently, "Something happened to the investigation team of the heavy machinery factory!" Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 41 Xiao Du Becomes Popular Again The train made a monotonous banging sound as it shook incessantly. Du Yan, who was sitting in the hard-seat carriage, was lost in thought. When Chu Yilan told him that something happened with the Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory Restructuring Investigation Team, Du Yan's heart suddenly jumped involuntarily! Although he had thought that the investigation at the heavy machinery factory might not be smooth sailing, and might even lead to a messy result, Du Yan still didn't expect that those people would be so bold. In order to obtain conclusive evidence, the evaluation reports of the heavy machinery factories that Du Yan led to seize had been completely handed over to the County Party Committee's confidential room for archiving. What he did not expect was that those reports that he had personally handed over to the County Party Committee's Office were The evaluation reports in the important room suddenly and inexplicably disappeared! As a confidential member of the county party committee's confidential room, Xiaoliu was the newly assigned young female cadre who was frightened by Lao Yu, deputy director of the county party committee office, at the reception banquet when he first returned to Pingling. What's going on, if it weren't for Du Yan's clear handover signature on the document handover record, this document would have disappeared out of thin air as if it had never existed! The investigation was suddenly in trouble, and after receiving a call asking him to return to Pingling immediately, Du Yan had already vaguely guessed that some people might have already started to take action. Because it was too urgent, the Taihua office staff did not buy hard sleeper tickets for the train from Shencheng to Tongyang. Although later someone from the Provincial Office said that the Provincial Office had soft sleeper tickets reserved at Shencheng Railway Station all year round. Yan refused this obvious kindness. It can be said that he has already attracted a lot of attention during his trip to Shencheng. Although many people do not know that compared with Cheng Huaimin who took the opportunity to promote himself, in fact, it is even more of a feat for him to offend the first young master of Shencheng, but this is already quite eye-catching. , it would be bad if you don¡¯t know how to restrain yourself, not to mention that you need to be more cautious at this time. Du Yan even had a hunch that perhaps things would undergo more surprising changes when he returned to Pingling this time. Before getting on the train in the afternoon, Chu Yilan told Du Yan a slightly unexpected news. Xiao Aihong, deputy secretary of the Shencheng City Party Committee, suddenly sent a close confidant to Chu Yilan to explain Hong Ziming's previous actions in a roundabout way. During the conversation, Chu Yilan learned that Hong Ziming had suddenly left Shanghai by plane for the capital that morning. This made Chu Yilan finally breathe a sigh of relief. After all, for Chu Yilan, it was good news to be freed from Hong Ziming's entanglement. As for how Xiao Aihong, who had always doted on her son, suddenly thought of explaining to herself, Chu Yilan But I couldn't figure it out for a while. Moreover, what made Chu Yilan a little strange was that the person sent by Xiao Aihong seemed to be asking about Du Yan's situation both inside and outside the words. This surprised Chu Yilan. She found that the strange things happening to Du Yan became more and more strange. The visits came more and more, which certainly made her a little curious about Du Yan, but it also made her mind a lot about her upcoming appointment at Pingling. Anyone who knows a little bit about the situation knows that the water in Pingling is not as deep as usual. Now it seems that not only the cadres in the county committee and county government with their own backgrounds and factions are not simple, but also behind this young man who is said to be from a worker's family. With an amazing relationship background. Du Yan didn't know what Chu Yilan was thinking. When he heard that Hong Ziming left Shanghai in such a hurry, Du Yan just smiled secretly. Of course he knew that this was Xiao Aihong's move to protect his son. Cheng Huaimin had already thought of it. News about Hong Ziming's involvement in car smuggling was revealed to Xiao Aihong. In this way, it seems that Cheng Huaimin will not be like what happened before, because this crackdown on smuggled cars offended Xiao Aihong and caused a rift in the relationship between the two. But Du Yan didn¡¯t see it that way, and he had no intention of helping the two men smooth out their differences. On the contrary, Du Yan was more willing to see conflicts between Cheng Huaimin and Xiao Aihong. But now it seems that there should be no problems between the two people, but Du Yan knows that with this incident, a thorn has probably been planted between them. At least for Xiao Aihong, although Cheng Huaimin finally He still informed her, but it was at the last moment before things broke out. Not only did this make Hong Ziming leave in a hurry, he should also have lost a lot of money. Cheng Huaimin¡¯s behavior is, at best, a show of good will, but at worst, it may not be an opportunity to show off his own existence. How can a woman like Xiao Aihong, who has a strong desire for power, tolerate others challenging her authority like this? More importantly, although he still doesn't know what the relationship is between maintaining a bad reputation and Song Youbo, Du Yan can guess that Song Youbo asked Song Jiawen to send Cheng Huaimin that gift at this time. A stone must have some deep meaning. Cheng Huaimin may be feeling uncertain now.?, and for Du Yan, there is still a big gap between him and Cheng Huaimin now, but this does not mean that there will be no chance to meet again in the future. Maybe when they meet again, the two people's situations will be completely different. "The only regret Du Yan has about this spring fair is that not only did he not see Song Jiayi, he didn't even see Qiao Luowei. Du Yan didn't believe that the Song family would be uninterested in the Spring Fair, and because he thought that the changes in the domestic political situation were caused by Shanghai, Du Yan even more didn't believe that the Song family would be so indifferent to things in Shanghai. , this can be seen from the appearance of Song Jiawen in Shencheng, but what Du Yan didn't expect was that in the end, the Song family who came to see him was Song Youbo, the mastermind of the Song family who was absolutely beyond his expectation. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:???????????????????????????????????????????????: Du Yan secretly thought about it, he didn't mind others treating him as a member of the Song family, but both he and the Song family knew in their hearts that he had never really considered himself a member of the Song family, whether as a grandson of the Song family. Song Jiayi, or Liang Benchu, who was an important part of the Song family in Hexi Province, seemed to maintain a certain distance from them. Meeting Song Youbo during this trip to Shencheng allowed Du Yan to truly meet a big-shot figure in the Song family for the first time. At the same time, it also meant that he began to truly integrate into the circle of the Song family. Although he didn't get a hard seat because he was in a hurry, the person in charge of the Taihua bid was still able to get a hard seat ticket for Du Yan on the Express Express from Shanghai to Tongyang that day. After more than 20 hours of turbulence, when the sun turned bright When heading west, Du Yan was already standing on the street outside Tongyang Railway Station. To Du Yan¡¯s surprise, as soon as he walked out of the station, he saw a young man holding a sign in the square outside the station with the words ¡°Comrade Du Yan, Taihua Pingling¡± written in eye-catching black. Du Yan walked towards the young man and saw a confused look on his face. Du Yan smiled at him and said, "Hello, I'm Du Yan. Who are you?" "Are you, Director Du?" The young man looked at this young man who seemed to be about the same age as himself with some disbelief. Isn't he too young? A freshly graduated college student? Du Yan reluctantly took out his work permit and showed it to the other party. He had encountered this kind of thing too many times, which made him feel really distressed about his baby face sometimes. "Hello Director Du, I am a staff member of the Provincial Office of the Municipal Party Committee. My surname is Kou. Please call me Xiao Kou." A smile appeared on the young man's face immediately, and he could no longer look like he had the suspicion before. , one by one opened his mouth, and one who called himself Xiao Kou shut up. That look made Du Yan couldn't help but think of the slick cadres stationed in Taihua and Hexi Province. It seems that these cadres in the field offices As expected, each cadre is better than the last. "Director Du, the city has arranged a car for you. Secretary Cui personally called and told you to take you directly back to the city as soon as you arrive in Tongyang." Xiao Kou said while secretly sizing up this young man. In fact, for a young man about the same age as himself, although Cui Jianbin, Secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, seems to be weak because of his frail health for many years, and Mayor Ren Shuqiang is too strong, in the eyes of the vast majority of cadres, he is still that high-ranking person. The young man in front of him was able to make Secretary Cui call him personally to take care of him. It could be seen that although he was young, he was by no means comparable to ordinary people, which made Xiao Kou even more careful. "Oh, let's not delay, let's go now." Du Yan nodded. Cui Jianbin's special attention not only did not make him feel any joy, but on the contrary, it made him have more speculations in his heart. Cui Jianbin was undoubtedly the pioneer who Yang Weiquan had arranged to come to Hexi before. However, due to various reasons, Cui Jianbin did not complete the tasks assigned to him by Yang Weiquan. After serving as secretary of the Municipal Party Committee for two terms, he failed to completely control the situation in Taihua. Instead, he let Ren Shuqiang, a powerful mayor, came from behind and occupied a lot of territory. When Cui Jianbin used a trick to send Geng Zhen out of Taihua directly in order to let Geng Zhen succeed him as a member of the heavy machinery factory investigation team, Du Yan had already guessed that this might have Yang Weiquan's intention. After all, Yang Weiquan With his eyesight, if he couldn't see how fishy the Heavy Machinery Factory was, then his position as the leader of the new generation of the Yang family would have been taken away long ago. Cui Jianbin should have been so anxious to push Geng Zhen out because of Yang Weiquan's signal, but now it seems that they were a little too anxious, and the sealed original evaluation data disappeared. This not only put the entire investigation into trouble, but also made it more difficult. People realize that the investigation has obviously touched the sensitive nerves of some people, and may even have directly touched the pain points of some people. Cui Jianbin directly ordered him to be recalled to Taihua at this time, definitely not just for??That assessment report, so what else does he not know about it? It takes nearly four hours to drive from Tongyang to Taihua, which made Du Yan couldn't help but think of the inter-provincial railway project proposed by Chu Yilan's father Chu Ping when he was in office. Chu Ping¡¯s original purpose of proposing this project was to achieve a great political achievement, but judging from the situation at the time, it was indeed an achievement that would bring Hexi¡¯s economic development to a higher level. However, due to the interests of various parties at the beginning, Hexi Province eventually became a victim of the competition for interests. Although the inter-provincial railway project was proposed again many years later, times have changed. Not only did the project itself no longer meet the economic development requirements at the time, it even became a representative of redundant construction, and was criticized and questioned from all aspects. Du Yan remembered that in Chu Ping¡¯s ambitious early planning, Taihua was once regarded as a very important node in the inter-provincial railway project. Now it seems that someone had actually noticed Taihua¡¯s position in the entire Hexi Province at that time. important. Due to the limitations of their vision at the time, few people looked further and realized the huge role Taihua played not only in Hexi, but even in the economic development of the entire inland. And Du Yan just has this advantage that others absolutely cannot compare with! Pingling is really a place where dragons and tigers are hiding, Du Yan thought to himself, when he thought of Chuping from the Lian-Provincial Railway, he naturally thought of Ding Bingxian. " Du Yan has always thought that Ding Bingxian is the kind of person who picks chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely sees the southern mountains. But a conversation with Chu Yilan completely overturned his view. Although Ding Bingxian returned to Pingling because his official career was hindered, he may not really be disheartened and see through the world. It is probably because Chu Ping never had a chance to make a comeback in his previous life that he finally became disheartened. Silence fell. Now because of the changes in Pingling and the intervention of the Song family, Chu Ping has once again begun to show his unwillingness to admit defeat. As a cadre that Chu Ping was quite optimistic about at the beginning, it is logical for Ding Bingxian to cheer up again. Sitting in the car, Du Yan couldn't help but wonder about the current situation in Pingling, Taihua and Hexi. As he thought about it, he was slightly surprised to find that Pingling had unknowingly become a key to many power struggles in the province. In the place of sex, several different forces, intentional or unintentional, are launching a dazzling struggle around the small place of Pingling. When it was completely dark, the car entered Taihua City. It seems that Xiao Kou was more considerate. When he was in Tongyang, he had already prepared some food in the car. Although eating on the road was not very comfortable, he At least it can barely fill my stomach. The car drove into the Taihua Municipal Party Committee Courtyard. When Du Yan got out of the car, he noticed the Taihua No. 2 car parked in the parking lot. Is Ren Shuqiang here? Du Yan's heart moved slightly. Until now, Du Yan has not had direct contact with Ren Shuqiang, but because of Zeng Zhenping, the owner of Huihuang Nightclub, he knows that he and Ren Shuqiang may be on opposite sides sooner or later. Taihua¡¯s municipal party committee and city government are not far apart. Although the mayor Ren Shuqiang is famously strong, Cui Jianbin is the municipal party committee secretary after all, and he always has to live up to his reputation. So if there is something that needs to be met, Ren Shuqiang will still come to see Cui Jianbin. In the corridor outside Cui Jianbin's office on the fifth floor, Du Yan was somewhat surprised to see Liu Zhi, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee. When he saw Du Yan, Liu Zhi's usually serious face seemed to be slightly stunned, and then he slowly walked over. "Hello, Secretary General." Du Yan stretched out his hands and shook Liu Zhi slightly. He knew that Liu Zhi had a good relationship with Qu Xiangshan, the former deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. It turned out that there were some rumors in the city that after Qu Xiangshan was promoted to the province Liu Zhihui took over his position as deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, but no one expected that Zhang Wenliang suddenly appeared halfway and blocked Liu Zhihui's upward path. "Pingling, Xiao Du?" Liu Zhiyan asked briefly and concisely. Anyone who is slightly familiar with Liu Zhi knows that the secretary-general of the municipal party committee is not only taciturn, but also extremely rigorous in his work. Some people have seen him unceremoniously criticizing Chu Yilan, who is said to have a great background. In the municipal party committee compound, some young cadres are more afraid of Secretary-General Liu than Secretary Cui. After all, the municipal party committee compound is not small, and it is impossible for Cui Jianbin to fully know those young cadres. But Liu Zhi is different. He not only knows the whole Everyone in the municipal party committee compound, and even the main leaders of some of the directly-affiliated agencies in the districts and counties below, can remember it very clearly. Du Yan had also heard rumors that Liu Zhi had been robbed of his seat by Zhang Wenliang, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't want to take this opportunity to have too deep contact with Liu Zhi. After all, he had reached Liu Zhi's status. , even if he hates Zhang Wenliang deeply in his heart, he will not reveal his inner thoughts in front of others easily, let aloneThe important thing is that Liu Zhineng has been sitting in the position of Secretary-General of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, which can be seen to some extent with Cui Jianbin's approval. Otherwise, even if he is not strong enough, Cui Jianbin will not allow his municipal party committee chief steward to be someone who has two minds with him. people. What surprised Du Yan was that Liu Zhi, who originally thought he would leave after saying hello, seemed to suddenly become interested and stood in the corridor outside Cui Jianbin's office and started talking to Du Yan. "Xiao Du, your Pingling New District is quite impressive. I heard that you were the one who came up with the idea of ??building the new district. You are a good young man with some level of skills." Liu Zhi said in a calm tone. If you hadn't heard that he has a serious personality, , it is very likely that people will think that his words are actually criticism. Cui Jianbin¡¯s office is composed of two side-by-side rooms. Although there are separate doors for entry and exit, most people who want to see Cui Jianbin have to go through the outer secretary¡¯s room first. As a result, there were really a lot of people coming in and out. Although it was already off work at this time, because Cui Jianbin had not left yet, his secretary could only wait outside. Seeing Liu Zhi walking to the door, Cui Jianbin's secretary had already stood up from behind the desk to greet him, but when he saw Liu Zhi and Du Yan standing in the corridor talking, Cui Jianbin's secretary didn't know whether to sit down for a moment. Just continue to stand like that. Fortunately, his embarrassing moment did not last long. With the sound of the door, Ren Shuqiang walked out of Cui Jianbin's office. "Mayor Ren." Cui Jianbin's secretary immediately came forward and said hello. This was also to remind the two people standing outside the door that a secretary should have such an all-round cleverness. Although he is the first secretary of the municipal party committee, he can still put on airs. It also depends on who he is targeting. If he doesn't take the initiative to remind the two people outside at this time, not only will they be dissatisfied with him, but even Ren Shuqiang may think that he is taking the opportunity to make a little provocation. Not to mention that Ren Shuqiang is the mayor, and Liu Zhi is his nominal boss. He is also able to deal with it with ease. Even the seemingly young Du Yan does not seem to be that easy to bully, at least as for Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Zhang The rumor that Wen Liang forced Director Xiao Du to lose face has long been no secret in Taihua official circles. Seeing Liu Zhi standing at the door, Ren Shuqiang nodded as a greeting. When he looked at Du Yan, there was a hint of deep meaning in his eyes. "Mayor, this is Du Yan, the new district director of Pingling." Liu Zhi stood beside him and introduced. "Comrade Du Yan," Ren Shuqiang had a calm look on his face, and smiled slightly when shaking hands with Du Yan, "the work in your new district is good, and the economic development trend is also very good, especially in the past year. Pingling's progress in the city is also very impressive. " After listening to Ren Shuqiang's words, Cui Jianbin's secretary couldn't help showing a look of envy and jealousy in his eyes. He had been Cui Jianbin's secretary for several years, so he naturally had thoughts. I want to let go of my thoughts, but now I see that Du Yan, who was also a secretary and started out worse than me, has not only become prosperous, but even looks like a prince from Taihua, I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable. And Liu Zhi¡¯s originally serious face first had an imperceptible chin clenching, and then returned to its previous calmness. "Pingling's current achievements are achieved under the correct guidance of the leaders of the municipal party committee and government. The same is true for our new district. It is the care and help of the main leaders of the county party committee and county government that has led to some development. It can't be said that they have done any work." Du Yan's answer was watertight. Ren Shuqiang could say these words casually in Cui Jianbin's office, but if he didn't have a correct attitude immediately, before he left the municipal party committee building, there might be rumors that he was competing for credit in front of the city's main leaders. There are rumors about profit. But even so, Du Yan still had a headache. Just like how Liu Zhi suddenly took the initiative to speak to him, which was noticed by many cadres passing by, Ren Shuqiang's seemingly casual two sentences, especially at this time, Maybe it will arouse more suspicion. When Du Yan thought of this moment, his heart suddenly moved, but Ren Shuqiang had already said hello to Liu Zhi and left. At the same time, Liu Zhi's voice, which always seemed to have just one tone, sounded from the side: "Do it well, Xiao Du." With that, Liu Zhi walked along the corridor in the opposite direction of Ren Shuqiang without waiting for Du Yan to answer. Looking at Liu Zhi's back, Du Yan suddenly realized that although he had been cautious, someone had made a mistake without paying attention. "Why he was suddenly recalled from the China International Trade Fair, these people should have known for a long time. It is estimated that there must be many people who want to see Cui Jianbin's joke at this time. Even if the encounter between Ren Shuqiang and himself was a coincidence, Liu Zhi's appearance was unlikely to be such a coincidence, after allThe secretary-general of the municipal party committee will not wander around in the municipal party committee building with nothing to do. Ren Shuqiang definitely wanted to see Cui Jianbin¡¯s joke, but why did Liu Zhiyan do this? Although Du Yan was full of doubts, he still smiled and asked Cui Jianbin's secretary if Cui Jianbin was free at this time. Cui Jianbin's secretary pushed the door open and walked into the inner room to ask for instructions. After a while, he came out and said to Du Yan with a smile: "Director Du, Secretary Cui, please come in." Du Yan thanked him and then opened the door and walked into the office, but he paid attention Well, it took a little long for Cui Jianbin's secretary to go in and ask for instructions. Cui Jianbin was still sitting behind the desk as before. He was holding a pen in his hand and writing something on the documents on the desk. He ignored Du Yan, who was standing two meters away from the desk. After about a few minutes, he put down his pen, slowly raised his head from the document, and looked at Du Yan, who had been standing in front of him with his hands lowered. "Sit down." Cui Jianbin's voice was low and slightly hoarse. "Thank you, Secretary." Du Yan then sat on the sofa on the side, and then he raised his head again and looked at Cui Jianbin. "Have you heard about what happened at the Heavy Machinery Factory?" Cui Jianbin spoke very slowly and kept his eyes on Du Yan. "I have heard some general information from Deputy Secretary-General Chu," Du Yan admitted. He knew that Cui Jianbin would not believe it even if he said that he did not know clearly. Even if Chu Yilan who conveyed the news would not tell him, he would not know it along the way. You may not have heard of this from elsewhere. In fact, after Du Yan heard what Chu Yilan conveyed, he immediately called Tu Xiangdong from Shanghai. In addition to briefly describing the situation, Tu Xiangdong also emphasized: "It is said that he is responsible for adjusting files and checking the document." The person who filed the document was Deputy County Magistrate Geng. "No one expected that such an important document would disappear right under our noses." What a special expression, it seemed that everything that happened now had nothing to do with him, but it was impossible to know what he was thinking. If this matter involves Geng Zhen, then the situation of Cui Jianbin who recommended Geng Zhen as Pingling's participant in the investigation will be very delicate. After all, the heavy machinery factory had problems when he was the secretary of the municipal party committee, and the evaluation report However, the huge losses were clearly written in black and white, and as a municipal enterprise, the previous secretary and director of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory was nominated and appointed by Cui Jianbin. Once these few things are connected, Du Yan can even be sure that this matter may be aimed at Cui Jianbin! "Comrade Du Yan, as a cadre who was involved in the heavy machinery factory issue, how do you think this matter should be resolved?" Cui Jianbin still asked so slowly. It is said that he had undergone a lung resection before, so once a long time The problem of shortness of breath occurs when speaking, which is why Cui Jianbin rarely attends various public gatherings after the operation unless necessary. "Secretary, I don't know the specific situation yet, but we got the report directly from the heavy machinery factory, so it must be very important evidence." Du Yan said carefully. "Comrade Du Yan, the previous problems at the Heavy Machinery Factory involved the uncool attitude of some workers in the factory, and the city had to take some necessary measures to maintain social stability. Although your handling method at that time temporarily alleviated some of the conflicts, But after all, you are passive. The main leader of the municipal party committee made the decision not to let you participate in the heavy machinery factory's handling of the incident for the time being. It is not only responsible for the heavy machinery factory but also for your care and love." Cui Jianbin said slowly. "Secretary, I thank the leader for his concern for me." Du Yan's attitude was very correct. By this time, he had a rough idea of ??what would happen next. He had even guessed why Liu Zhi and Ren Shuqiang were standing outside Cui Jianbin's office. Each party performed a play separately. It seems that Secretary Cui Da¡¯s life is indeed a bit difficult. Not only did Ren Shuqiang, as the mayor, seize the opportunity and take action without hesitation, but Liu Zhi, as the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, also seemed to be ready to take action. ? Or, Liu Zhi had thoughts about Cui Jianbin from the beginning? But think about it, according to rumors, the reason why Liu Zhi failed to succeed Qu Xiangshan as deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee was partly because Zhang Wenliang came down to snatch his position, but it also had something to do with Cui Jianbin not speaking for him at the critical moment. Very important. "Comrade Du Yan, because of work, the municipal party committee decided to temporarily transfer Comrade Geng Zhen from the heavy machine factory investigation team back to Pingling." Cui Jianbin looked at Du Yan and continued, "You will take over his job. You have What's the request?" "I obey the decision of the municipal committee." Du Yan replied. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 42 The Storm is Coming When he came out of Cui Jianbin's office, it was completely dark. Du Yan looked at his watch and saw that it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. At this time, the municipal party committee office building was already very quiet, and it seemed empty except for the staff on duty. Du Yan walked down the wide staircase, listening to the echo of footsteps, but thinking about his previous meeting with Cui Jianbin. A burst of footsteps came from far away, and then a slightly familiar voice came: "Xiao Du, are you leaving?" Du Yan turned around and saw Liu Zhizheng, the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, walking slowly with a briefcase in his hand. A look on his face Although he was already a little serious, his tone was calm. ¡°Secretary-general, have you just gotten off work?¡± Du Yan asked with a smile. ¡°There¡¯s no way, the leader hasn¡¯t left yet, and I, the secretary-general, can¡¯t leave my post.¡± Liu Zhi said with a hint of emotion. Du Yan nodded silently. Since he was also a secretary, Du Yan certainly understood Liu Zhi's status and the difficulties of his work. Although the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, he is certainly the leader of the Municipal Party Committee in the eyes of outsiders, but his actual work is only He is just an enlarged version of the municipal party committee secretary, except that an ordinary secretary only serves one leader, while the secretary-general has to serve all municipal party committee leaders. "Xiao Du, I remember that you used to be Comrade Peizheng's secretary, right?" Liu Zhi suddenly asked. Du Yan smiled and nodded, but felt a little strange in his heart. Speaking of which, Liu Zhi is famous for his good brain in Taihua. He can remember almost everyone he meets, and it is said that he can recite the resumes of the cadres in charge of various districts, counties and municipal departments. There is even a legend that once when discussing the personnel transfer of a cadre, the deputy director of the Organization Department of the municipal party committee who was responsible for the inspection made a mistake in reporting the resume at the wrong time. Liu Zhi, who was present, immediately pointed it out. This cadre is just the director of a district below. Whether this legend is true or not cannot be verified, but it shows how good Liu Zhi's memory is. Now that he suddenly asked about his past work, Du Yan's heart couldn't help but move. "Xiao Du, seeing you like this reminds me of my past self," Liu Zhi said casually as he walked away. "When I was your age, I was still working as a secretary for the leader. Young people can make a difference." Ah." Liu Zhi said with a sigh. "Secretary-General, look at what you said, how can I compare with you," Du Yan said with a smile. At this time, he had already vaguely guessed that there was something in this seemingly coincidental meeting between Liu Zhi and himself. Thinking of the previous When Du Yan met Cui Jianbin, Du Yan couldn't help but feel that he had really been involved in a whirlpool. "Xiao Du, it's very hard down here, especially in Pingling, where the environment is complicated and the work is not easy to carry out, and it is not very suitable for young comrades," Liu Zhi said when he had already walked to the door of the municipal party committee building. He stopped before Santana got into the car, "You may have heard that Comrade Yilan may go to work in Pingling recently. Speaking of which, I am very satisfied with Comrade Yilan's work level. It's really surprising that he left so suddenly. We need a good assistant. " "Deputy Secretary-General Chu's work ability is well known. It would be great if he came to work in Pingling." Du Yan was already smiling. He knew that at this time. There will be some problems with saying anything, so it¡¯s better to just pretend to be confused than that. Liu Zhi looked at Du Yan's face and pondered for a moment, then he nodded, turned around and bent down to sit in the car, but then he slightly poked his head out of the dropped car window and said to Du Yan: "Xiao Du, Xiao Chu, this time The municipal party committee is not only missing a key member, but also a deputy secretary-general. Xiao Du, please think about it." After speaking, Liu Zhi rolled up the window and Santana slowly drove out of the municipal party committee compound. Du Yan stood on the steps of the municipal party committee building and looked at Liu Zhi's car, slightly distracted. He did not expect that Liu Zhi would suddenly say these words to him. Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee? He had never thought about this! Not to mention that he is only twenty-five years old, he is a bit too young to serve as the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee. After all, he has even served as the director of the new district. But the key is, has Liu Zhi forgotten that the current municipal party committee secretary is Cui Jianbin? ¡°If I ignore Cui Jianbin¡¯s arrangements at this time and withdraw from Pingling, even if I really serve as the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, will I still have my own good fruits? Du Yan didn¡¯t believe that Liu Zhihui didn¡¯t even have such common sense, so why did Liu Zhi remind him like this? Unless An idea flashed through Du Yan's mind, but he couldn't grasp the key for the moment. Du Yan believes that the loss of important investigative evidence at Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory must be no secret in Taihua. There had been a lot of commotion because of this incident before, and it was precisely this incident that triggered a direct conflict between Du Yan and Zhang Wenliang, which made the entire Pingling officialdomAfter all, this is a major arm-wrestling event between the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and the director of the currently popular new economic zone. Although Du Yan still cannot compete with Zhang Wenliang in terms of rank, the status of a new district director is still very important. Eye-catching. But who would have thought that what was originally just between the two of them would inexplicably involve Geng Zhen. Although it was Cui Jianbin's decision to let Geng Zhen replace Du Yan as a member of the investigation team, but with the accidental loss of important evidence, Du Yan discovered This matter has completely turned into a conspiracy that seems to be targeting Cui Jianbin. ¡°After all, it was Geng Zhen who was in charge of shifting gears at that time, and Cui Jianbin was the one who promoted the previous two directors and secretaries of the heavy machinery factory. And now, Liu Zhi has extended an olive branch to him as the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee! Liu Zhi obviously knew what Cui Jianbin was doing by calling him back at this time, but he proposed to him the position of deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee at this time, and also hinted to Du Yan, asking him not to get involved in the muddy waters of Pingling. This kind of behavior made Du Yan feel that it was not only unreasonable, but even a little unbelievable. In fact, anyone with a reasonable mind would not think that hiding in the municipal committee is a good thing at this time. After all, it would be tantamount to refuting Cui Jianbin's face and then going to work under Cui Jianbin. Such a person would definitely He is the kind of person with a weak brain who can get in and out of the municipal party committee building. How can he be such a fool? Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little stir in his heart when he thought of this. He realized that this was actually Liu Zhi hinting that Cui Jianbin's status might no longer be guaranteed. Liu Zhi was not so much using his position as deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee to seduce him, as he was trying to persuade him. He hinted that Cui Jianbin might be transferred soon. Thinking about it, with Ren Shuqiang¡¯s strength, how could he tolerate Cui Jianbin continuing to suppress him. The problems that arise in the investigation team this time are likely to be an excuse for Ren Shuqiang to attack Cui Jianbin, and Liu Zhi's current actions further illustrate the problem. Has Liu Zhi formed an alliance with Ren Shuqiang? Du Yan couldn't help but wonder in his heart, but why did Liu Zhi think that he would accept his hint? Du Yan thought about it at first, and then gradually figured out some of its flavors. In Liu Zhi's view, he is Li Peizheng's secretary after all, and based on the relationship between Li Peizheng and Qu Xiangshan, who previously served as deputy secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, he can naturally be regarded as Qu Xiangshan's faction, and Liu Zhi's own relationship with Qu Xiangshan He is also quite close, which makes Liu Zhi naturally regard him as a contact person. More importantly, Cui Jianbin transferred Du Yan from the new asset review and investigation team at a critical moment, and many people already know that this new review team is likely to eventually become a permanent agency responsible for the asset assessment of the entire Taihua City, and even May have a lot of power as a result. ¡°Cui Jianbin transferred Du Yan from the review team at this time and asked Geng Zhen to take his place. In the eyes of outsiders, this definitely severely blocked Du Yan¡¯s path to progress. Blocking people's progress in the officialdom will attract hatred. From everyone's point of view, Cui Jianbin's move of transferring Du Yan away before and then asking Du Yan to come back to fix the leak when something went wrong was not only ugly before, but also what he did after that. Somewhat excessive. ¡°Perhaps it is because of this that Liu Zhi thinks that he must have resentment towards Cui Jianbin, and maybe he is a person who can be impressed. Thinking about Du Yan as he slowly walked down the steps, he didn't notice that Cui Jianbin was really looking down at this scene from a window on the fifth floor. Looking at the brightly lit streets, Du Yan frowned slightly. At this time, there were not enough buses between Taihua and Pingling. Looking at the weather, it was obviously impossible to rush back to Pingling. Du Yan thought about it for a while. Walk to the Municipal Party Committee Guest House. The Municipal Party Committee Guest House is not far from the Municipal Party Committee Courtyard. Du Yan had accompanied Li Peizheng to come here several times before, but at that time he was only Li Peizheng's secretary. Later, after leaving Li Peizheng, he lost the opportunity. Like other cities, municipal party committee guest houses vary in size. In addition to the main building of the municipal party committee guest house that performs daily reception work, there is also a two-story building behind the main building, which is specially used to receive superior leaders. The person who designed the trick put a lot of thought into it. Originally there was a small street between the municipal party committee guest house and the municipal party committee building. In order to ensure that the superior leaders could rest peacefully without being affected, and considering the safety of the leaders, they simply Both ends of the street were completely sealed, and the small building was built behind the municipal party committee building. In this way, even if the leaders wanted to take a walk, they could enter the municipal party committee building in front directly from the back instead of from the municipal party committee building. Walk around the front door of the guest house. According to his rank, although Du Yan is already a deputy director, he is not qualified to live in the small department, and he really needs to think about what just happened, so after he left the municipal party committee, he walked along the outer wall of the municipal party committee compound to the municipal party committee guest house. go.   The street was very cold at this time. Du Yan looked at the lights in the distance, but he kept thinking about what Liu Zhi said just now. A car drove by on the road not far away, and Du Yan saw a familiar figure in the car under the dazzling headlights. Geng Zhen? As soon as Du Yan recognized the people in the car, he saw the familiar "Tai 2468" license plate on the passing Santana. Du Yan knew that this was the car of Zeng Zhenping, the owner of Huihuang Nightclub. This license plate was very famous throughout Taihua City. Seeing this scene, Du Yan couldn't help but think of Liu Zhi's hint to him. Zeng Zhenping¡¯s sister is Zeng Jing, the current director of the Municipal Government¡¯s Administration Bureau, and Zeng Jing¡¯s other identity is the mistress of Mayor Ren Shuqiang. Du Yan remembered that Ren Shuqiang transferred Zeng Jing from the municipal government to the municipal party committee as deputy secretary-general soon after he became secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, and less than a year later, he was promoted to deputy mayor. ¡° In the following years, Zeng Jing not only became Ren Shuqiang¡¯s right-hand assistant, but also became a powerful helper in Ren Shuqiang¡¯s money-making and corruption. Until Ren Shuqiang¡¯s scandal came out, both of them fell into the law. Looking at Santana walking away, Du Yan had thoughts flashing through his mind. He remembered what Cui Jianbin had told him about Geng Zhen before. He remembered that Cui Jianbin brought Geng Zhen over calmly when he mentioned it. This did not attract Du Yan's attention at the time. After all, Geng Zhen was a member of Cui Jianbin's family. Even if Geng Zhen dissatisfied Cui Jianbin because of his work mistakes, that was not the case. Their own business. But after seeing Geng Zhen sitting in Zeng Zhenping's car, Du Yan became suspicious of his previous thoughts. He didn¡¯t know how Geng Zhen got together with Zeng Zhenping, but he had a vague feeling that a storm was brewing in Taihua¡¯s officialdom! Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 42 The Storm is Coming When he came out of Cui Jianbin's office, it was completely dark. Du Yan looked at his watch and saw that it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. At this time, the municipal party committee office building was already very quiet, and it seemed empty except for the staff on duty. Du Yan walked down the wide staircase, listening to the echo of footsteps, but thinking about his previous meeting with Cui Jianbin. A burst of footsteps came from far away, and then a slightly familiar voice came: "Xiao Du, are you leaving?" Du Yan turned around and saw Liu Zhizheng, the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, walking slowly with a briefcase in his hand. A look on his face Although he was already a little serious, his tone was calm. ¡°Secretary-general, have you just gotten off work?¡± Du Yan asked with a smile. ¡°There¡¯s no way, the leader hasn¡¯t left yet, and I, the secretary-general, can¡¯t leave my post.¡± Liu Zhi said with a hint of emotion. Du Yan nodded silently. Since he was also a secretary, Du Yan certainly understood Liu Zhi's status and the difficulties of his work. Although the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, he is certainly the leader of the Municipal Party Committee in the eyes of outsiders, but his actual work is only He is just an enlarged version of the municipal party committee secretary, except that an ordinary secretary only serves one leader, while the secretary-general has to serve all municipal party committee leaders. "Xiao Du, I remember that you used to be Comrade Peizheng's secretary, right?" Liu Zhi suddenly asked. Du Yan smiled and nodded, but felt a little strange in his heart. Speaking of which, Liu Zhi is famous for his good brain in Taihua. He can remember almost everyone he meets, and it is said that he can recite the resumes of the cadres in charge of various districts, counties and municipal departments. There is even a legend that once when discussing the personnel transfer of a cadre, the deputy director of the Organization Department of the municipal party committee who was responsible for the inspection made a mistake in reporting the resume at the wrong time. Liu Zhi, who was present, immediately pointed it out. This cadre is just the director of a district below. Whether this legend is true or not cannot be verified, but it shows how good Liu Zhi's memory is. Now that he suddenly asked about his past work, Du Yan's heart couldn't help but move. "Xiao Du, seeing you like this reminds me of my past self," Liu Zhi said casually as he walked away. "When I was your age, I was still working as a secretary for the leader. Young people can make a difference." Ah." Liu Zhi said with a sigh. "Secretary-General, look at what you said, how can I compare with you," Du Yan said with a smile. At this time, he had already vaguely guessed that there was something in this seemingly coincidental meeting between Liu Zhi and himself. Thinking of the previous When Du Yan met Cui Jianbin, Du Yan couldn't help but feel that he had really been involved in a whirlpool. "Xiao Du, it's very hard down here, especially in Pingling, where the environment is complicated and the work is not easy to carry out, and it is not very suitable for young comrades," Liu Zhi said when he had already walked to the door of the municipal party committee building. He stopped before Santana got into the car, "You may have heard that Comrade Yilan may go to work in Pingling recently. Speaking of which, I am very satisfied with Comrade Yilan's work level. It's really surprising that he left so suddenly. We need a good assistant. " "Deputy Secretary-General Chu's work ability is well known. It would be great if he came to work in Pingling." Du Yan was already smiling. He knew that at this time. There will be some problems with saying anything, so it¡¯s better to just pretend to be confused than that. Liu Zhi looked at Du Yan's face and pondered for a moment, then he nodded, turned around and bent down to sit in the car, but then he slightly poked his head out of the dropped car window and said to Du Yan: "Xiao Du, Xiao Chu, this time The municipal party committee is not only missing a key member, but also a deputy secretary-general. Xiao Du, please think about it." After speaking, Liu Zhi rolled up the window and Santana slowly drove out of the municipal party committee compound. Du Yan stood on the steps of the municipal party committee building and looked at Liu Zhi's car, slightly distracted. He did not expect that Liu Zhi would suddenly say these words to him. Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee? He had never thought about this! Not to mention that he is only twenty-five years old, he is a bit too young to serve as the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee. After all, he has even served as the director of the new district. But the key is, has Liu Zhi forgotten that the current municipal party committee secretary is Cui Jianbin? ¡°If I ignore Cui Jianbin¡¯s arrangements at this time and withdraw from Pingling, even if I really serve as the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, will I still have my own good fruits? Du Yan didn¡¯t believe that Liu Zhihui didn¡¯t even have such common sense, so why did Liu Zhi remind him like this? Unless An idea flashed through Du Yan's mind, but he couldn't grasp the key for the moment. Du Yan believes that the loss of important investigative evidence at Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory must be no secret in Taihua. There had been a lot of commotion because of this incident before, and it was precisely this incident that triggered a direct conflict between Du Yan and Zhang Wenliang, which made the entire Pingling officialdomAfter all, this is a major arm-wrestling event between the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and the director of the currently popular new economic zone. Although Du Yan still cannot compete with Zhang Wenliang in terms of rank, the status of a new district director is still very important. Eye-catching. But who would have thought that what was originally just between the two of them would inexplicably involve Geng Zhen. Although it was Cui Jianbin's decision to let Geng Zhen replace Du Yan as a member of the investigation team, but with the accidental loss of important evidence, Du Yan discovered This matter has completely turned into a conspiracy that seems to be targeting Cui Jianbin. ¡°After all, it was Geng Zhen who was in charge of shifting gears at that time, and Cui Jianbin was the one who promoted the previous two directors and secretaries of the heavy machinery factory. And now, Liu Zhi has extended an olive branch to him as the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee! Liu Zhi obviously knew what Cui Jianbin was doing by calling him back at this time, but he proposed to him the position of deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee at this time, and also hinted to Du Yan, asking him not to get involved in the muddy waters of Pingling. This kind of behavior made Du Yan feel that it was not only unreasonable, but even a little unbelievable. In fact, anyone with a reasonable mind would not think that hiding in the municipal committee is a good thing at this time. After all, it would be tantamount to refuting Cui Jianbin's face and then going to work under Cui Jianbin. Such a person would definitely He is the kind of person with a weak brain who can get in and out of the municipal party committee building. How can he be such a fool? Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little stir in his heart when he thought of this. He realized that this was actually Liu Zhi hinting that Cui Jianbin's status might no longer be guaranteed. Liu Zhi was not so much using his position as deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee to seduce him, as he was trying to persuade him. He hinted that Cui Jianbin might be transferred soon. Thinking about it, with Ren Shuqiang¡¯s strength, how could he tolerate Cui Jianbin continuing to suppress him. The problems that arise in the investigation team this time are likely to be an excuse for Ren Shuqiang to attack Cui Jianbin, and Liu Zhi's current actions further illustrate the problem. Has Liu Zhi formed an alliance with Ren Shuqiang? Du Yan couldn't help but wonder in his heart, but why did Liu Zhi think that he would accept his hint? Du Yan thought about it at first, and then gradually figured out some of its flavors. In Liu Zhi's view, he is Li Peizheng's secretary after all, and based on the relationship between Li Peizheng and Qu Xiangshan, who previously served as deputy secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, he can naturally be regarded as Qu Xiangshan's faction, and Liu Zhi's own relationship with Qu Xiangshan He is also quite close, which makes Liu Zhi naturally regard him as a contact person. More importantly, Cui Jianbin transferred Du Yan from the new asset review and investigation team at a critical moment, and many people already know that this new review team is likely to eventually become a permanent agency responsible for the asset assessment of the entire Taihua City, and even May have a lot of power as a result. ¡°Cui Jianbin transferred Du Yan from the review team at this time and asked Geng Zhen to take his place. In the eyes of outsiders, this definitely severely blocked Du Yan¡¯s path to progress. Blocking people's progress in the officialdom will attract hatred. From everyone's point of view, Cui Jianbin's move of transferring Du Yan away before and then asking Du Yan to come back to fix the leak when something went wrong was not only ugly before, but also what he did after that. Somewhat excessive. ¡°Perhaps it is because of this that Liu Zhi thinks that he must have resentment towards Cui Jianbin, and maybe he is a person who can be impressed. Thinking about Du Yan as he slowly walked down the steps, he didn't notice that Cui Jianbin was really looking down at this scene from a window on the fifth floor. Looking at the brightly lit streets, Du Yan frowned slightly. At this time, there were not enough buses between Taihua and Pingling. Looking at the weather, it was obviously impossible to rush back to Pingling. Du Yan thought about it for a while. Walk to the Municipal Party Committee Guest House. The Municipal Party Committee Guest House is not far from the Municipal Party Committee Courtyard. Du Yan had accompanied Li Peizheng to come here several times before, but at that time he was only Li Peizheng's secretary. Later, after leaving Li Peizheng, he lost the opportunity. Like other cities, municipal party committee guest houses vary in size. In addition to the main building of the municipal party committee guest house that performs daily reception work, there is also a two-story building behind the main building, which is specially used to receive superior leaders. The person who designed the trick put a lot of thought into it. Originally there was a small street between the municipal party committee guest house and the municipal party committee building. In order to ensure that the superior leaders could rest peacefully without being affected, and considering the safety of the leaders, they simply Both ends of the street were completely sealed, and the small building was built behind the municipal party committee building. In this way, even if the leaders wanted to take a walk, they could enter the municipal party committee building in front directly from the back instead of from the municipal party committee building. Walk around the front door of the guest house. According to his rank, although Du Yan is already a deputy director, he is not qualified to live in the small department, and he really needs to think about what just happened, so after he left the municipal party committee, he walked along the outer wall of the municipal party committee compound to the municipal party committee guest house. go.   The street was very cold at this time. Du Yan looked at the lights in the distance, but he kept thinking about what Liu Zhi said just now. A car drove by on the road not far away, and Du Yan saw a familiar figure in the car under the dazzling headlights. Geng Zhen? As soon as Du Yan recognized the people in the car, he saw the familiar "Tai 2468" license plate on the passing Santana. Du Yan knew that this was the car of Zeng Zhenping, the owner of Huihuang Nightclub. This license plate was very famous throughout Taihua City. Seeing this scene, Du Yan couldn't help but think of Liu Zhi's hint to him. Zeng Zhenping¡¯s sister is Zeng Jing, the current director of the Municipal Government¡¯s Administration Bureau, and Zeng Jing¡¯s other identity is the mistress of Mayor Ren Shuqiang. Du Yan remembered that Ren Shuqiang transferred Zeng Jing from the municipal government to the municipal party committee as deputy secretary-general soon after he became secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, and less than a year later, he was promoted to deputy mayor. ¡° In the following years, Zeng Jing not only became Ren Shuqiang¡¯s right-hand assistant, but also became a powerful helper in Ren Shuqiang¡¯s money-making and corruption. Until Ren Shuqiang¡¯s scandal came out, both of them fell into the law. Looking at Santana walking away, Du Yan had thoughts flashing through his mind. He remembered what Cui Jianbin had told him about Geng Zhen before. He remembered that Cui Jianbin brought Geng Zhen over calmly when he mentioned it. This did not attract Du Yan's attention at the time. After all, Geng Zhen was a member of Cui Jianbin's family. Even if Geng Zhen dissatisfied Cui Jianbin because of his work mistakes, that was not the case. Their own business. But after seeing Geng Zhen sitting in Zeng Zhenping's car, Du Yan became suspicious of his previous thoughts. He didn¡¯t know how Geng Zhen got together with Zeng Zhenping, but he had a vague feeling that a storm was brewing in Taihua¡¯s officialdom! Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 43: The Zeng Family Geng Zhen sat on the sofa, staring at the bright red wine in the glass on the table in front of him. He doesn¡¯t like this kind of Western stuff. He prefers high-alcohol liquor. But since ¡°Brilliant¡± is here, he can only do as he pleases. This was Geng Zhen's first time at "Brilliant". Looking at the gorgeous decoration in the private room and listening to the faintly deafening music coming from outside the door, he frowned slightly. "County Magistrate Geng is not used to this kind of place. You will get used to it after visiting a few times." Zeng Zhenping, who was sitting opposite him, leaned comfortably on the back of the sofa, holding a glass of red wine in his hand and shaking it slightly, with a smile on his face. asked with a smile. Seeing the smile on Zeng Zhenping¡¯s face, Geng Zhen felt as if he had been pricked by something, and felt indescribably uncomfortable. He never thought that one day he would be forced to deal with this person because something would fall into the hands of the other party. Zeng Zhenming is just in his early thirties this year, but although he is not very old, he has been hanging out in society for a long time. ??????????????????? Although it was just a small fight in the past, Zeng Zhenping is very smart, and he has gained a good reputation in Taihua by going back and forth between black and white. Since his sister Zeng Jing became the director of the Municipal Government Affairs Bureau, Zeng Zhenping's business has become even more prosperous. Through Zeng Jing's help, Zeng Zhenping first bought an old office building in the center of Taihua at a very low price, and then used the office building as collateral to get an almost interest-free loan from the bank. Then the largest "brilliant" nightclub in Taihua opened. Although the government is very strict about the management of the nightclub industry, "Brilliant" has always gone smoothly in the previous anti-pornography campaigns. Although it encountered some small troubles at the beginning, it was quickly settled. Over time, people came to know that the backstage of "Brilliant" was not ordinary. As Zeng Jing was increasingly favored by Ren Shuqiang in the city government, and Zeng Zhenping even became a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, "Brilliant" became It was smooth sailing, after all, the backstage was Mayor Ren, who was famous for his strength. Who in Taihua didn't know that offending Secretary Cui might not be a big deal, but if he offended Mayor Ren, his career would be almost over. "Boss Zeng, when will Director Zeng come?" Although Geng Zhen looked calm on the outside, secretly he couldn't sit still. He felt that this nightclub was like a huge spider web. The longer he stayed here, the more The danger of falling in, even though he was already falling in. "Don't worry, County Magistrate Geng. It's rare for you to come here. Let's relax first." Zeng Zhenping said, raising his glass and shaking it towards Geng Zhen. "How about you find two girls to come over and talk to you? It's boring to sit there." "It makes sense." "No." Geng Zhen refused immediately. At the same time, he looked at Zeng Zhenping with a slightly wary look. If he had not come to this point, he would never want to be with a person with a complicated background like Zeng Zhenping. If someone comes from outside, even if he is Zeng Jing's younger brother, it won't work. Zeng Zhenping secretly curled his lips. He actually looked down on Geng Zhen's behavior. If it weren't for his sister Zeng Jing repeatedly asking him to entertain Geng Zhen well, he would have left this man alone in the private room and ignored him. asked. But Zeng Zhenping also knew that if Geng Zhenzhen had done nothing wrong, he would not be able to sit in this private room with him. The door rang, and a dignified-looking woman in her thirties walked into the private room. She is Zeng Zhenping's sister, Zeng Jing, director of the Taihua Municipal Government's Office Affairs Management Bureau. Seeing Zeng Jing walking into the private room, Geng Zhen raised his eyebrows. He instinctively wanted to stand up, but finally reminded himself not to be too impatient. Looking at Geng Zhen who was still sitting motionless on the sofa, Zeng Jing did not show any displeasure. She nodded to Zeng Zhenping who stood up to greet her and said, "Zhenping, don't you have something else to do down there? Go and do your work first. Let's go." Zeng Zhenping glanced at Geng Zhen, said hello to Zeng Jing and walked out of the private room. As the door was closed tightly, the noisy sound was also blocked out. "County Magistrate Geng, I would like to thank you here first. I am very happy that you can come to Huihuang. This means that we can still have a deep talk." Zeng Jing sat down where Zeng Zhenping had been sitting before and elegantly poured himself a glass of wine. He got up and looked at the color, raised his glass to Geng Zhen and took a sip. Seeing Zeng Jing's white neck exposed outside the lapel shirt when she raised her head, Geng Zhen turned his head slightly. He had already heard about this female director of the Municipal Airport Management Bureau, who was said to be well-liked by Ren Shuqiang, but he had never really known her before. After getting along, and now looking at the mature woman sitting across from her, Geng Zhen somewhat understood the reason why Ren Shuqiang admired this woman. This woman, apart from her appearanceBesides, it should be more than just a simple vase. "Director Zeng, you are too polite. Everyone knows that Mayor Ren trusts you. I think Mayor Ren asked you to invite me this time. There must be some instructions, right?" Geng Zhen asked. Hearing Geng Zhen mention Ren Shuqiang, Zeng Jing's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly. She slowly put down the glass and looked at Geng Zhen. Then she smiled slightly: "Mr. Geng, you misunderstood. I just want to communicate with you more. My incompetent brother wants to open a "Brilliant" restaurant in Pingling. I think you are the executive deputy county magistrate. I need you to take care of some places. " Geng Zhen nodded and said nothing, but he didn't say anything either. He expected Zeng Jing to admit that it was Ren Shuqiang who wanted to see him as soon as they met. In fact, Geng Zhen himself knew that although this meeting was actually a strong signal from Ren Shuqiang to him, Ren Shuqiang himself would not show up easily until a certain time. of. "County Magistrate Geng, I would like to ask for your help with Zhenping's opening of a nightclub in Pingling." Zeng Jing said with a smile, "You may have heard that my parents died early, and this is the only one in the family. Brother, he has no other abilities and can only rely on my sister. Now the development in Pingling is very gratifying. Zhenping wants to develop in Pingling. I don¡¯t have many acquaintances in Pingling. It¡¯s just right. Zhenping said that he is familiar with you, so he asked me to come out and help him. From now on, Zhenping will have to rely on County Magistrate Geng to take care of him in Pingling. " "Director Zeng, you are so humble. Boss Zeng has such a person. Sister, she is a well-known figure even in Taihua. Who doesn't know that Director Zeng is very respected by the mayor?" Geng Zhen laughed. He noticed that Zeng Jing's face didn't show anything when he mentioned Ren Shuqiang. The strange look gave him a deeper understanding of how extraordinary this woman was. "What did County Magistrate Geng say? The county magistrate might as well be in charge now. What's more, County Magistrate Geng is an out-and-out executive deputy county magistrate. If Zhenping really goes to Pingling, he must be with County Magistrate Geng. Let¡¯s eat on the turf,¡± Zeng Jing replied with a smile, and then she seemed to say intentionally or unintentionally, ¡°By the way, County Magistrate Geng, I heard that Secretary Li from Pingling has a very good relationship with Vice Minister Qu of the Provincial Propaganda Department. There is news that Vice Minister Qu intends to transfer Secretary Li to work in the province. Have you heard about this? " Geng Zhen was stunned by Zeng Jing's words. He had naturally heard that Li Peizheng was the former Prime Minister. Deputy Secretary of the Hua Municipal Party Committee and now deputy director of the Provincial Propaganda Department, Qu Xiangshan, so Zeng Jing's statement that Qu Xiangshan might transfer Li Peizheng to the province is somewhat credible. Just like this, the seat of Pingling County Party Committee Secretary will naturally become vacant. There are only one or two people who can replace Li Peizheng as secretary of the county party committee. County Mayor Guo Songlin is naturally the first choice, and the next one is deputy secretary Ding Bingxian. No matter which of the two takes over, there will be a very coveted vacancy. In an officialdom like this in China, where there are many people but few people, whether someone is promoted or loses an official position, it means that a large number of people below will be involved. Unless the superiors directly parachute down to fill the vacancy, otherwise this is a rare opportunity. Chance. Geng Zhen knows the reason why Zeng Jing said these words to him. If he chooses to seek refuge with Ren Shuqiang, then Ren Shuqiang can fight for him when there is a vacancy in Pingling. Otherwise, not only will he not speak for him, he will probably Even stumbling upon yourself at critical moments. After all, whether he succeeds Guo Songlin as county magistrate or Ding Bingxian as deputy secretary of the county party committee, Ren Shuqiang's opinions are very important. "Director Zeng, why are you interested in coming to work in our Pingling?" Geng Zhen deliberately misinterpreted Zeng Jing's meaning. "In that case, I would welcome it. It would be mine if a capable female hero like Director Zeng can do official work." It's an honor." Seeing Geng Zhen talking about him, Zeng Jing was not annoyed. She knew that Geng Zhen was competing with her for endurance, which made her feel that Geng Zhen was not that easy to deal with. Regarding the relationship between Geng Zhen and Cui Jianbin, many people did not know much about it before. Although people have also noticed that Geng Zhen was transferred from the city where Cui Jianbin was the mayor, because the two people were transferred at a very long time apart, although some people have thought that Geng Zhen might be somewhat related to Cui Jianbin, they have never seen him. They had too many contacts, and not only did he and Guo Songlin have no conflicts, but they seemed to be very cooperative. At least Zeng Jing had never heard Guo Songlin say that Geng Zhen was against him. So no one expected that there would be any relationship between him and Cui Jianbin. It was not until the incident at Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory came out that Cui Jianbin suddenly came forward when it came to the work allocation that might evolve into dealing with the corporate restructuring of Pingling and even Taihua in the future, such a big cake that no one could give up. , taking advantage of the conflict between Du Yan and Zhang Wenliang, Du Yan was kicked out of the asset appraisal investigation team with a final decision.He went there and neatly placed Geng Zhen into the investigation team. At this time, not only did people suddenly realize that Geng Zhen turned out to be Cui Jianbin's man, but they also finally understood why Cui Jianbin had always ignored the problems arising from the restructuring of the heavy machine factory from the beginning. It turned out that their entire purpose was here. ¡°It¡¯s just that after all, Cui Jianbin is the secretary of the municipal party committee, and Du Yan did have a serious conflict with Zhang Wenliang. This is almost an open secret in Taihua officialdom. So Cui Jianbin handled it like this. Although everyone knew that it was just an excuse to use this incident to insert his subordinates into the investigation team, what Cui Jianbin did made others unable to say anything. It¡¯s just this way that people finally know who is standing behind Geng Zhen, who always seems to have an ambiguous attitude towards all parties. "County Magistrate Geng is joking. I've really had enough of this job of serving people. But even if I want to continue, it won't be my turn." At this point, a hint of displeasure flashed across Zeng Jing's originally dignified face. "I But I heard that Chu Yilan, the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, is interested in a certain position on your side. Has County Magistrate Geng heard about it? " Geng Zhen was slightly stunned. He had indeed heard that Chu Yilan might come to Ping An. Work in Pingling, although this kind of personnel matter is complicated, it is also the most difficult to keep secret. The news that Chu Yilan may work in Pingling has been quietly spread during this period. As for what position it is, For a while, no one could be sure. Geng Zhen had heard of those rumors about Chu Yilan. Although he didn't know whether they were true or not, he knew that Chu Yilan, like Zeng Jing in front of him, must be a person with a great background, and he could be sure that, This background is also different from the superiors and subordinates in the pure faction between him and Cui Jianbin. There must be very close personal reasons, which makes him have to seriously consider Zeng Jing's words. If Chu Yilan really takes a job in Pingling, what position will it be? Deputy head of the county government party group? Although such a position is consistent with her status as deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, and for a female cadre who is already at the deputy level at a young age, it is a good opportunity to get gold-plated, but after all, it is for the so-called For ordinary female cadres. For a person like Chu Yilan, who is said to have a strong background, such a position is not uncommon to her, and she may even think that it is a hardship. So what will Chu Yilan do when she comes down? Should she be made the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee? This idea was just a flash and was immediately thrown aside by Geng Zhen. Not to mention that there has never been a female political and legal committee secretary in the country so far. At least Liu Laofei is the next political and legal committee secretary of Pingling. It can be said that she has been from the city. It¡¯s settled. Thinking of this, Geng Zhen finally began to feel a little unable to sit still. He knew that he was sitting here simply because he had no choice but to be caught by Zeng Zhenping's pigtails before, but despite this, he still wanted to maintain some dignity as much as possible. And Geng Zhen also knows that since Zeng Zhenping did not expose himself after catching his pigtails, but took the opportunity to threaten him, it at least means that he is still useful to Zeng Zhenping or the people behind him. In this case, Geng Zhen feels that there is always an opportunity The opportunity to make money, at least let those people know that they can't just take it. But now Zeng Jing¡¯s words made Geng Zhen really feel threatened! ¡°If Li Peizheng really leaves Pingling as rumored, the person who will replace him as county party secretary will either be Guo Songlin or Ding Bingxian, and it is unlikely that he will be the executive deputy county magistrate who ranks relatively low in the county standing committee. Similarly, if Chu Yilan comes to Pingling, Geng Zhen doesn't believe that she will only be willing to serve as an extraordinary committee deputy county magistrate. But now there is no seat available for her on the county committee's standing committee, so her goal is likely to be Geng Zhen is the deputy county magistrate! Thinking of this, Geng Zhen suddenly felt as if he had been completely marginalized. Seeing the slight unnatural look flashing across Geng Zhen's face, Zeng Jing smiled. She knew that Geng Zhen could no longer look as calm and reserved as he had at first. But Zeng Jing didn¡¯t want Geng Zhen to calm down immediately. She changed the topic and talked about Zeng Zhenping building a nightclub in Pingling. "County Magistrate Geng, you probably know that Zhenping has a wild temper and is not very obedient sometimes. It's because of this that I feel uneasy. So after arriving at Pingling, I hope you can help me take good care of him. After all, he is not in my care." People around me always feel uneasy." Zeng Jing said to Geng Zhen as if she was really worried, and she did look somewhat serious in that way. "As Director Zeng said, Zhenping is a capable person. I understand this very well," Geng Zhen showed a wry smile on his face. If he said that he hadHe has a deep taboo against Zeng Zhenping, so now in front of the two siblings, he feels a little too strong to use. "Of course, if Zhenping goes to Pingling to develop, I will definitely do my best." "Then then. Thank you County Magistrate Geng in advance. If you can help me keep an eye on Zhenping in Pingling, I will feel relieved in Taihua." Zeng Jing nodded and smiled. Then it seemed that she really only found Geng Zhen for Zeng Zhenping¡¯s matter. After getting Geng Zhen¡¯s promise, she stopped mentioning other things and just chatted and joked casually with Geng Zhen while drinking. Geng Zhen chatted absentmindedly with Zeng Jing. He didn't know when this woman would let him and Ren Shuqiang officially meet. Speaking of which, he originally thought that Zeng Jing should be very anxious. After all, he could leverage Cui Jianbin's The key to a big tree that doesn't look very strong, but its roots are still deep. But now it seems that Zeng Jing is not only calm, but also seems to be waiting for him to speak first. Until the end, Geng Zhen didn't get any more information from Zeng Jing. When he saw that it was getting late, he had to say goodbye with a little disappointment. As soon as he walked out of the private room, he met Zeng Zhenping coming from the corridor. ¡°Why, County Magistrate Geng is leaving now, it¡¯s still early,¡± Zeng Zhenping said with a laugh. ¡°It¡¯s getting late, I have a meeting to attend tomorrow.¡± Geng Zhen rejected Zeng Zhenping¡¯s proposal to send him a car. He said hello casually and walked downstairs. Watching Geng Zhen go away, Zeng Zhenping's originally smiling face slowly darkened. He walked into the private room and saw his sister drinking red wine in small sips. He sat opposite Zeng Jing, facing the door. He curled his lips slightly and said: "Why are you pretending to be serious? If we hadn't caught him for helping those cadres at the heavy machine factory to resell equipment to other places, he would probably not even be willing to come in now, and then use the airs to turn around. Let him bring out all those scandals. " "Zhenping, don't be so impatient," Zeng Jing looked at her brother and frowned slightly. "Geng Zhen's willingness to come over this time shows that he has actually given in. It's just a matter of time. It's a good thing to save face. Secondly, he's waiting for a price. After all, I'm the one who came forward, not Mayor Ren. He is also the executive deputy county magistrate after all, and he was Cui Jianbin's before. If I really want him to come over, I might even ask him If you want to bite Cui Jianbin, he won't do it without enough benefits. " "Sister, do you really think you know where those missing evaluation reports from the heavy machinery factory are?" Zeng Zhenping asked with a slight frown. "I think so. Something is a bit strange. If he hid those reports himself, wouldn't that mean he was putting himself in the forefront? Geng Zhen wouldn't be so stupid. " "Zhenping, you still don't understand those reports. "It's not the key." Zeng Jing shook his head. "That report is actually insignificant now. This time the province sent people down to investigate the matter of the heavy machine factory. This in itself is a signal, indicating that the restructuring of the heavy machine factory has not only caused a stir in the province. The attention here involves the interests of many parties. It is not clear to you at the moment. You just need to remember that now is a good opportunity for us. Once Geng Zhen bites the heavy machine factory's many years of losses Not only because of Cui Jianbin's personnel arrangements, but also because there are interests involved, Cui Jianbin will not have much time to stay in Taihua. Even if he finally made it clear, at least in the minds of the leaders above, There is a question mark, plus his physical condition is like that. As long as the leader of the provincial mayor Ren works hard, Mayor Ren will have a chance to replace Cui Jianbin. After all, Cui Jianbin¡¯s secretary has almost finished his work. We just have to It¡¯s just a push.¡± ¡°What about you, sister? Mayor Ren has become the municipal party committee secretary, what can you do?¡± Zeng Zhenping asked with a smile. "Zhenping, this is not what you should ask." The faint smile on Zeng Jing's face suddenly disappeared. She looked at Zeng Zhenping seriously, and after a while she said calmly, "Zhenping, I just said to Geng Zhen Saying that you are going to Pingling to do business is not an excuse. I think it would be better for you to leave Taihua during this period. Speaking of which, although Pingling is not an inconspicuous place now, if you think about it carefully It can be seen at a glance that this place is really not simple. If you can really establish yourself in Pingling, it will be of great benefit to you in the future. " "Sister, does Mayor Ren want me to leave?" Slowly leaning on the sofa, he looked at Zeng Jing across from him calmly, "I know he thinks now is the time for him to charge to the secretary's throne, so he is afraid that I will cause him trouble, right?" "Zhenping, there is something wrong It's really best if you don't touch the matter," Zeng Jing's voice revealed a hint of worry. "I know that there are some marginal things in your nightclub. Of course, I also know that people in this industry can't do anything without these things. You don¡¯t make money, but Ke Zhenping, you must keep your balance. Mayor Ren and I can stop you from doing some things, but no one can protect you once you get involved in some things. " "Sister, don't worry, if you do. ?"If anything happens, I will never involve you." Zeng Zhenping smiled sarcastically. Seeing a flash of anger in Zeng Jing's eyes, he immediately raised his glass and waved it at Zeng Jing, "Sister, don't be angry, I just said it." Don¡¯t take it personally, but I have to remind you, sister, no matter how kind Mayor Ren is to you, you still have to be careful. After all, he has a wife and children, and he is very official-addicted. If something happens one day, he may not be willing to give up those things for you. "Zeng Jing shook her head slightly, raised her glass and drank the red wine inside, and then sighed silently. "Zhenping, there are some things you still don't understand. Shuqiang is indeed very ambitious and likes money, but because This is what he needs me for. Zeng Jing lit up a cigarette, took a puff and blew out a smoke ring. "Zhenping, some people can't tell their wives and children their secrets, but they can tell their mistresses. Do you know why? It's because their mistress treats him badly." It is already a secret that cannot be told to others. Since even this is a secret, then what else does he have to hide. I am this kind of secret to Shuqiang, and I am more useful to him than his wife. Apart from not being able to give birth to his children, I can do things that his wife cannot do at all. Not to mention in terms of career, I know this well. " "But" "You don't have to worry about Zhenping," Zeng Jing interrupted Zeng Zhenping. "But I want to remind you that the more times like this, the more careful you have to be. Although Cui Jianbin seems to be a clay Buddha crossing the river now, he can After all, he has been the secretary of the municipal party committee for many years. Once he finds that the situation is not good for him, he will definitely not give in easily. So I asked you to leave Taihua and go to Pingling during this period. Firstly, to avoid causing trouble. Secondly, Pingling may be a geomantic treasure land in the future. If you go over there first and establish a foothold, you might have a good opportunity one day. " "Sister, what do you mean by good opportunity? Zeng Zhenping asked excitedly. He knew that since Zeng Jing was by Ren Shuqiang's side, he would naturally have better information than anyone else. Now listening to Zeng Jing's words, he realized that Zeng Jing asked him to go to Pingling not just to keep him away. Taihua is a place of right and wrong. "There is news that Pingling's new district will be expanded and the entire county will be included in a major urban construction and reconstruction plan," Zeng Jing gently put the remaining cigarette butt in the ashtray. Zhenping, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for both you and Shuqiang. Zeng Zhenping nodded slightly as if he had some understanding, and then thought of something and said to Zeng Jing: "Sister, I heard that Cui Jianbin got that Du Yan back. Why do you think he did this?" " "Du Yan," a slightly sarcastic smile appeared on Zeng Jing's face, "Although Cui Jianbin is not a very impressive person, he has been in the officialdom for a long time, and some things can actually be seen. It's very clear that he transferred Du Yan back this time, which at least shows that he has felt that Geng Zhen is not reliable. " "Of course, Lao Geng even 'lost' such an important evaluation report this time, which is at least a major mistake. Zeng Zhenping chuckled, "It's strange to say it. I still find it a bit incredible. How could Geng Zhen have the courage to hide that report privately? Who did he want to give that report to before?" "Zhenping, don't worry about that report." Zeng Jing narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Zeng Zhenping. She was too familiar with this younger brother. "Actually, that report is not dispensable at all. It is the only thing that can play a role." The effect is only to prove that the assets of the Heavy Machinery Factory are seriously underestimated, but if this is true, it is not a good thing for us. After all, if the assets of the Heavy Machinery Factory are really re-evaluated according to the actual situation, when Pingling City is constructed and renovated in the future, Heavy machinery factories may become a big obstacle. "At this point, Zeng Jing lit up another cigarette, but after a moment's hesitation, she extinguished it in the ashtray. "We paid attention to that report because Geng Zhen might have found something useful in it and thought of concealing it. It's just that Du Yan was stored in the Pingling County Party Committee Archives in a formal filing manner, so he was risking his job this time. Because of this, Shu Qiang wanted to get the report to see what was in it. What is worthy of Geng Zhen placing such a big bet? " "Maybe Cui Jianbin" Seemingly knowing what Zeng Zhenping was going to say, Zeng Jing raised her hand to stop him: "Impossible, Cui Jianbin is actually very ambitious. If it weren't for his physical condition, he would have no room for competition. His heart is as strong as a tree, and even now he still hasn't given up. From the fact that he called Du Yan back this time, it can be seen that he wants to use Du Yan as a stick to beat some people in Taihua. " Zeng Jing's words made Zeng Zhenping very disapproving. He shook his head and said contemptuously: "Sister, you think too highly of that Du Yan. Isn't it just because you wrote a few articles to cater to some current trends? Not to mention that in Taipei Hua, even in Pingling, he still can't be ranked. " Zeng Jing frowned. She knew that Zeng Zhenping's disfavor for Du Yan was because of the "famous incident" the year before last."When it was smashed, she still remembered that she had to work hard to persuade Zeng Zhenping, who was already furious. If she persuaded Zeng Zhenping at that time just because it was the local army who smashed the glory, then after she inquired about those who caused the trouble After the person's origin, she was even more grateful that she persuaded Zeng Zhenping at that time. Although Huihuang still opened up later, Zeng Jing reminded Zeng Zhenping more than once to pay attention to keeping a low profile. At the same time, she also found out clearly that she and Song Jiayi appeared in Huihuang at that time. The other person was Du Yan, who was just Li Peizheng¡¯s secretary at that time! At that time, Zeng Jing didn¡¯t take Du Yan seriously, even though he was Li Peizheng¡¯s secretary and his seemingly related behavior with Song Jiayi made Zeng Jing feel this. The young man didn't seem to be simple, but she soon forgot about Du Yan. Especially not long after, Du Yan was first investigated and then left Pingling altogether, so Zeng Jing gradually forgot about this person. But she never expected that just when she could barely remember this young man, Du Yan not only suddenly returned to Pingling, but also suddenly became a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. This made Zeng Jing have to start paying attention to this young man. And when she really paid attention, she was a little surprised to find that this young man who had been ignored by many people before was by no means that simple. At least in Zeng Jing's view, there was something behind Du Yan's seemingly lack of support. There are many connections that others cannot explain at the moment. Maybe Cui Jianbin decided to use Du Yan again because of this? Zeng Jing thought about it, and she felt that this idea might be the key, especially when she thought about it. Before arriving, Ren Shuqiang mentioned to her about meeting Du Yan in Cui Jianbin's office. She felt that her judgment about the young man should be correct. At least she believed that Ren Shuqiang's vision would not easily misjudge the person. "Zhenping, when you go to Pingling this time, remember not to conflict with Du Yan easily," Zeng Jing solemnly told her brother, "And you should not have too much contact with Guo Songlin. Try to stay with him. distance. " "Isn't Guo Songlin very close to Mayor Ren? "Zeng Zhenping looked at Zeng Jing strangely. "That's why I asked you to keep a distance from Guo Songlin. Once Pingling's urban reform projects are confirmed, we must find a way to take down these projects. We don't need you in this regard. Worry, I will find a solution with Shuqiang. "It's Guo Songlin," Zeng Jing frowned slightly when talking about this. "Although he is very obedient in front of Shu Qiang, this person is not simple, especially when he has been in Pingling in recent years just like Shu Qiang in Taihua. There are many cadres around him. Li Peizheng has been to Pingling for two years, but now he can only get a foothold. From this, we can see how powerful Guo Songlin is. " Speaking of this, Zeng Jing suddenly showed a smile on his face. "But this time Cui Jianbin transferred Du Yan back, there will be a good show. The previous leadership team of the heavy machine factory was originally appointed by Cui Jianbin, and now there is such a big situation. Even the province has taken this matter seriously. Cui Jianbin now transferred Du Yan back just to show off. He not only wanted to use Du Yan to give some people a good beating, but also wanted to use this matter to let the province see His determination in handling the heavy machinery factory incident. But in this way, Director Xiao Du has been pushed to the forefront, so Zhenping, you must not do anything rash at this time. Just watch them making trouble in Pingling. It is best if Du Yan, that stupid young man, doesn't care. The genius applauded the whole Pingling officialdom for falling out. " Looking at the smile on Zeng Jing's face, Zeng Zhenping nodded silently. He knew that although he was very popular in society, when it came to the things in the officialdom, not to mention Ren Shuqiang, even Zeng Jing couldn't compare. . But although he is not good at these seemingly convoluted things, Zeng Zhenping is not only not a fool, but also has a very sophisticated mind. He is already keen on thinking about the urban transformation of Pingling that Zeng Jing just mentioned. He realized that, as Zeng Jing said, a golden opportunity was right in front of him. "Sister, I will go to Pingling tomorrow," Zeng Zhenping picked up the wine glass and poured a full glass of red wine for both himself and Zeng Jing. "Don't worry, I know what to do. If you give up such a good opportunity, it will really be a waste. " "It's good that you know," Zeng Jing picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly with Zeng Zhenping. "After you go to Pingling, you can have more contact with Geng Zhen. " "Yes, at least let Deputy County Magistrate Geng understand that it is not easy to do things like stepping on two boats. Zeng Zhenping finished speaking sarcastically and drank a full glass of red wine in one gulp. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 44: Barriers When Du Yan came out of the room of the Municipal Party Committee Guest House, he happened to see Lao Hou, the director of the Municipal Party Committee Guest House, leading a group of people busy at the door of the hall downstairs. When he was working as a secretary for Li Peizheng, Du Yan had stayed with Li Peizheng in the municipal party committee guest house several times. Du Yan was deeply impressed by this director who always smiled at people. In the municipal party committee, there are rumors that when Lao Hou was working in the municipal government, he once competed with Zeng Jing for the position of director of the municipal government affairs bureau. The final result was that Zeng Jing successfully became the director with the support of mayor Ren Shuqiang. He became the director, and Lao Hou was directly assigned to the petition office of the municipal government as a thankless deputy director. Later, Lao Hou found a way to rely on connections, and through a romantic relationship where he once worked under the then deputy secretary Qu Xiangshan, he finally jumped from the city government to the municipal party committee. Although his rank remained the same, he became the director of the municipal party committee guest house. , which made Lao Hou very grateful to Qu Xiangshan. Because of this, Lao Hou had a good relationship with Li Peizheng, and by the way, he also liked Du Yan more or less. "Director Du, you are a rare visitor." Seeing Du Yan, Lao Hou stretched out his hands. After shaking them hard for a while, Lao Hou said with a smile, "Director Du has been very busy recently. You haven't paid attention to us for a long time. The municipal party committee guest house." Looking at Lao Hou's slightly meaningful smile, Du Yan said with a smile: "Director Hou, please don't hurt me. You are hosting leaders from either the province or the city. I am a small cadre from the county below. I don¡¯t dare to greet you like this, Director Hou.¡± ¡°Director Du, this is not called modesty,¡± Lao Hou deliberately said with a straight face, ¡°Excessive modesty is pride. Speaking of which, who in Taihua doesn¡¯t know that if you, Director Du, are a junior cadre? What do others say? If nothing else, it¡¯s just about a heavy machinery factory Director Du, he¡¯s quite impressive.¡± Hearing Lao Hou¡¯s hint, Du Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. He is very familiar with a person like Lao Hou who has become a master. Qu Xiangshan has been away from Taihua for a long time, but he, the director of the municipal party committee guest house, still behaves leisurely and contentedly. It can be seen that this man is an all-rounder. Now that Du Yan heard Lao Hou using such obvious words to point out that he had completely lost Zhang Wenliang's face due to the incident at the heavy machine factory, Du Yan knew what Lao Hou must have heard. Thinking about it, Lao Hou, as the director of the municipal party committee guest house, has a wider range of sources of information than others. Maybe Lao Hou already knows the reason why Cui Jianbin transferred him back. "What are Director Hou busy with?" Du Yan did not answer Lao Hou's words. He was too sensitive at this time. It would be wrong to say more or less. It would be better not to say anything at all. Seeing that Du Yan had no intention of answering his words, a hint of disappointment flashed across Lao Hou's face, but then he became full of smile. At the same time, he looked back at his men who were busy working in the hall, and shook his head helplessly. "What else can we do? Governor Gao will come to Taihua for inspection at the beginning of next month. Other departments may not be too anxious yet, but my municipal party committee guest house is really facing a formidable enemy. It's still a month away." I started to toss, brother, if you don¡¯t do this, you don¡¯t know. What I¡¯m most afraid of is that superior leaders will come to inspect, especially the big leaders in the province. If they don¡¯t come, the string will collapse one day, unless the matter is over. Otherwise, there may be a flaw somewhere that cannot be seen at a glance. There is nothing trivial in front of the leader. If Governor Gao doesn't come, I won't be able to rest for a day. " "Director Hou, you are so good at it," he looked at Lao Hou. With an exaggerated expression, Du Yan said with a smile, "In Taihua, the person who has the best chance of getting close to the leadership is you, Director Hou. Even if the provincial leaders come to inspect, it is difficult for others to meet with the leaders. You can be around them all day long." Are you not satisfied with the leadership change? " "Well, what do you want me to say, brother, how about we switch, I will be your local emperor, and you will do this job of serving others," Lao Hou said as if he was a little unhappy. , but Du Yan knew that he was just doing this on purpose, in order to make people feel that he, Lao Hou, did not treat you as an outsider. This is where Lao Hou's tact lies. Sure enough, Lao Hou then lowered his voice slightly and said to Du Yan, "Brother, this time Governor Gao came to our Taihua to inspect, it seems that Minister Qu may come back with him to have a look. Do you know this letter?" "Probably so." Du Yan said calmly, but his heart was slightly shaken. Gao Ke came to Taihua for an inspection. Qu Xiangshan, who was the former deputy secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee and is now the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, accompanied him. This was a normal thing whether it was public or private, but whether it was Before leaving Taihua, when he was still in Shencheng, no one mentioned this matter to him. Even Chu Yilan didn't reveal any information. This made Du Yan have some thoughts in his heart. On the surface, it doesn¡¯t seem to matter whether Qu Xiangshan will accompany Gao Ke back, but anyone who is slightly familiar with the rules of domestic officialdom will know that there are too many hidden things here. Because Qu Xiangshan is the end of the mountainHe is a person who came from Taihua. It is not an exaggeration to say that the cadres in Taihua are all his old subordinates. Therefore, it is obviously very important whether he will follow him to Taihua, because the most critical part involves how Gao Ke will view the cadres of Taihua, and how he will view the entire officialdom of Taihua. If Gao Ke is just going through the motions this time, but if he intends to take advantage of the heavy machine factory incident to cause a storm in Taihua, then the fate of many people in Taihua's official circles may have to rely on Qu Xiangshan to ease the situation. The impact of this storm. After all, Qu Xiangshan is very familiar with the situation in Taihua, and as the main leader of the propaganda department that came to inspect this time, he should also generally know Gao Ke¡¯s attitude towards Taihua cadres. At this critical moment, as long as he If you give someone a little reminder, you will have a chance to avoid the unlucky guy who will become the new governor of Gao Ke and establish his authority. On the contrary, given Qu Xiangshan's familiarity with the cadres in Taihua, not to mention that he turned his mouth in front of Gao Ke, as long as he turned a blind eye and allowed Gao Ke to discover those problems, it would probably have happened without him knowing it. He fell into passivity in his sleep, and might even have gotten into trouble with Governor Gao. Come to think of it, at this time, some people in Taihua should have heard the news that Qu Xiangshan would come back with Gao Ke, and some people might even have been secretly instructed by Qu Xiangshan, but Du Yan didn't even hear about it in advance. I didn't hear it, what does that mean? If it is said that there is no need to tell him the news because Cui Jianbin transferred him from Taihua to join the investment promotion group of the Spring Fair, then it does not make sense, because after all, his position as director of the new district is still there, and the new district is still under his management, and even if The reason why Cui Jianbin transferred him in the first place was mostly just to let Geng Zhen take the opportunity to steal his seat as a member of the investigation team in Taihua City. Or is it that Gao Ke will not inspect the new district when he arrives in Taihua, so there is no need to tell him? Du Yan felt that such a reason was completely impossible. Du Yan knew better than anyone what the status of the new district was in the province, or simply in the minds of some people. He was certain that Gao Ke's inspection this time might even be very important. Most of them go to the new area! But even so, no one told him in advance that Qu Xiangshan would accompany him down! With this thought in his mind, Du Yan casually exchanged a few words with Lao Hou and left the municipal party committee guest house. He had realized that although it seemed simple, this matter could already reveal some people's thoughts. ¡°At least Li Peizheng and Ding Bingxian did not reveal any information about this matter to themselves. It was almost noon when Du Yan returned to Pingling. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he called home. To his slight surprise, it was Du Fei who answered the phone. "Brother, you're back already? So fast!" Hearing that Du Yan had returned to Pingling, Du Fei shouted happily. Du Yan could imagine that look even across the phone line. "Xiao Fei, why didn't you go to school?" Du Yan asked strangely on the phone. He was very concerned about Du Fei's studies. If Cui Jianbin hadn't sent someone to pick him up from Tongyang Railway Station back to Taihua, He originally wanted to go to Tongyang University to see Du Fei. "Brother, why are you lecturing people on the phone?" Du Fei said a little unhappy, but immediately explained, "There is a social event in our school these days. I was going to participate, but because of something, I If you don't participate, you might as well go home for two days on vacation. ""What's the matter?" Du Yan asked casually. He didn't really want to ask why, but he didn't want Du Fei to be the kind of person who would shout once he was admitted to university. "Long live sixty points, one more point is wasted" college students who live their lives. "Brother, you can talk about it when you go home. It's not convenient to talk on the phone." Listening to Du Fei's tone, Du Yan's heart moved. Thinking of his previous scenes in college, he couldn't help but guess what Du Fei's reason for not participating would be. It won't have anything to do with boys. More than half an hour later, Du Yan walked into his yard. Looking at Du Fei who ran out of his house when he heard the sound of the yard door, Du Yan couldn't help but be stunned at first, and then showed a slightly helpless smile. Du Fei was wearing a short-sleeved cashmere sweater that seemed a bit unorthodox no matter in this season or in this era. Apart from the two unusually white arms exposed, the most eye-catching thing about Du Yan was the use of the cashmere sweater. A button separates the collar, but it is divided into upper and lower sections. Because the collar of the cashmere sweater was originally very open, but it was fastened with a button at the collar tip. In this way, the already large and plump peaks on Duffy's chest held the cashmere sweater high. He stood up, so that although it was fastened, the slit collar underneath was widely opened, revealing a vaguely visible ravine in the middle of the snow-white chest. Seeing Du Yan standing at the door and looking at his chest, Du FeiI couldn't help but clenched my fist secretly with pride! In fact, not only did she not dare to wear this dress, she even didn't dare to let her parents see it, so she had to hide it. But after receiving a call from her brother, Du Fei returned to her room and put it on. However, she was outside at first. Wearing a coat, I finally plucked up the courage to run out of the house until I heard the door ring. "Xiao Fei, is your brother back?" Sang Shulan, who was busy making dumplings in the room, asked. When she heard Du Fei's vague response, she first took two steps outside, but looked at her hand. While still holding the dumpling wrapper, he raised his voice and said to the outside, "Xiao Fei, help your brother clean up first, I can't leave now." "Mom, stop working," Du Yan pointed at Du Fei with his hand. , walked quickly into the main room and said to Sang Shulan, who was busy at work, "I'll just eat something and rest for a while. I have to go to the county committee in the afternoon." "You kid is just like your dad, he just can't be idle." Sang Shulan smiled when she looked at her son. Although she was immediately startled when she saw Du Fei's really eye-catching clothes, her attention was attracted by Du Yan's next words. "Is dad very busy recently?" Du Yan asked. He knew that Du Zhenhai had been elected as the supervisor of the new evaluation team by the workers at the heavy machinery factory. Although he knew that this kind of thing often became a mere formality in the end, he wanted to do it first. Ask your father about the recent status of the investigation team. Although the loss of the assessment report was obvious to the lice on the bald man's head, Du Yan still felt that some of it was too deliberate. After all, for Geng Zhen, this matter was related to his bright future. But so far, as far as Du Yan knows, apart from Geng Zhen being transferred from the investigation team due to work errors, there is no news about any other relevant punishment. But what really concerned Du Yan was what he accidentally saw Geng Zhen sitting in Zeng Zhenping's car the night before. "I don't know what your dad is doing, but he hasn't been seen all day long. It seems that he is almost as busy as the country's leaders." Sang Shulan said something careless about her husband, then glared and hid behind Du Yan. Du Fei looked at her and said, "You girl" "Mom, please take a break first, Xiao Fei and I will do it." Du Yan immediately spoke again, interrupting Sang Shulan, and at the same time turned to Du Fei She winked, "Xiao Fei, change into the clothes you wear at home. Don't get your new clothes dirty." After hearing what her brother said, Du Fei turned around and ran out of the main room. When she was leaving, she couldn't help but turn back to Du Fei. Yan narrowed his eyes into a half-curved moon and showed a naughty smile. At the same time, he couldn't help but think proudly: Brother still loves me. "Xiao Yan, you spoil her too much," Sang Shulan naturally understood that Du Yan was helping Du Fei hide from her neglect. Seeing her daughter's happy expression when she turned around, Sang Shulan sighed silently at first, and then slightly He looked at Du Yan hesitantly, "Xiao Yan, I have something I don't know if I should mention to you" "Mom, tell me." Du Yan rolled up his sleeves and stirred the meat filling in the basin. "Xiao Fei seems to have a boyfriend," Sang Shulan, who was stunned when she saw Du Yan, said, "No, no, there is a boy who seems to like Xiao Fei." "Oh, then Xiao Fei What does Fei think?" Du Yan stopped what he was doing and asked, and then he frowned slightly, "But Xiao Fei is only a freshman, and he is only nineteen during the Chinese New Year, so he is a bit young." So said, Du Yan. There was a strange look on his face. He suddenly felt that it was only at this time that he began to understand Zhao Youxun's mood. Not to mention that Zhao Youxun was furious because of Zhao Xiaoyun's unexplainable relationship with him. Even now, when he heard that Du Fei might have a boyfriend, he felt like I feel a little strangely uncomfortable in my heart. "Xiao Fei doesn't seem to like that boy very much," Sang Shulan looked at Du Yan with a strange expression. "Speaking of which, you know that boy too. He is the son of Secretary Li of the county party committee, the one named Li Yiming?" "Li The secretary's son?" Du Yan looked at his mother in shock. He never expected that it was Li Yiming, Li Peizheng's son, who was pursuing Du Fei. "Yes, that kid was admitted to Tongyang University in the same class as Xiao Fei," Sang Shulan said while looking in the direction of Du Fei's room through the window. "These days, he often takes a bus with Xiao Fei. When I went home, I went to pick up Xiao Fei at the station, and I saw the kid chatting and laughing with Xiao Fei. "Mom, they are not necessarily boyfriend and girlfriend." Du Yan smiled disapprovingly. "Why are boyfriend and girlfriend chatting and laughing if they aren't?" Sang Shulan immediately retorted to her son, "When your dad and I were dating, let alone chatting and laughing, we didn't even dare to walk side by side. It's not like young people nowadays. When there are so many people holding hands on the street,¡± Hearing what his mother said, Du Yan couldn¡¯t help but think of what later generations could often see online, those who were exposed in public places.He behaved unscrupulously and affectionately and even engaged in various scandals, but now he couldn't think about it too much and asked hurriedly: "What? Mom, did you see Xiaofei and Li Yiming holding hands?" Seeing his son's face full of only With an expression that could be described as furious, Sang Shulan secretly sighed in her heart. She really wanted her children to be paired up, but fate was weird, and Su Qian was indeed a good girl. She just saw Du Yan's behavior. With an expression on her face, Sang Shulan also felt a little helpless. "That's not true, so I said it looks like Secretary Li's child is chasing Xiaofei." Sang Shulan shook her head, "The boy came to our house twice to look for Xiaofei, but Xiaofei didn't treat him well." He is too rude, and it seems that Xiaofei is at home this time because of Secretary Li's child. " "What's going on?" Du Yan frowned slightly when his mother said this. He was not worried about what Li Yiming might do to Du Fei. So, but a little unsure of what is going on between Du Fei and Li Yiming. "Nothing happened!" Du Fei, who had already changed her clothes and came in, answered with a stern look on her face. "That kid has been pestering me all day long. This time our school is having trouble with Qinghu University." I originally signed up to participate in the provincial university freshman exchange meeting, but he also participated and insisted on being in a group with me. I just asked for leave and went home. " "You don't like Li Yiming very much?" Du Yan asked Du Fei with a smile. "Who likes a little kid?" Du Fei curled his lips slightly. "How old are you? If you call me a kid, maybe they are older than you." Du Yan was amused by his sister's appearance. In fact, he was not disgusted with the kid Li Yiming. Although he felt that he was immature and a bit rebellious, after all, he had always grown up. He has been through this age, so Du Yan can understand. "Anyway, I just don't like him," Du Fei bit his lip slightly. "Everything is showing on his face all day long, and the whole class knows that there is a little hairy guy." "The kid likes me." "That kid Yiming sounds pretty good" Du Yan said casually, but then he was startled by the expression on Du Fei's face who looked up at him. Du Fei was originally blushing healthily. His face turned white at this moment, and there was even a hint of indescribable grief and indignation in the eyes facing him. "Brother, do you want me to find a boyfriend as soon as possible and get married early in two years?" Du Fei asked word for word. Sang Shulan next to her couldn't help but stop in surprise. The job in hand. Looking at Du Fei's expression that couldn't tell whether it was serious or indifferent, Du Yan was stunned for a moment and then shook his head slightly: "Xiao Fei, you still don't understand what brother is thinking? Don't say you are still young now, just in one or two years If you really want to have a boyfriend, I, as the older brother, have to get over it first. If you can't get through it, you won't be able to marry my sister no matter how good the conditions are. " "Then if you think it's okay, I'll do it. Do you have to get married?" Du Fei still asked reluctantly, while her eyes locked with Du Yan's. Du Yan couldn't help but feel as if he was being tortured by the Discipline Inspection Commission cadres again. "Xiao Fei, don't argue with your brother and get to work quickly. Your brother has to go to the county to work in the afternoon." Sang Shulan finally helped her son out of sight, but looking at her daughter who lowered her head to silently make dumplings, Sang Shulan Shulan still sighed helplessly in her heart. At 1:30 in the afternoon, Du Yan walked into the county party committee compound. As soon as he walked into the yard from a distance, he already felt something vaguely strange. When he walked into the slightly old county party committee office building, he saw that several cadres he met had smiles on their faces after seeing him, but they all unknowingly either followed him or lagged behind. Keeping a certain distance, he secretly sighed in his heart, the change of wind direction in this officialdom is really unpredictable and full of emotions. Du Yan knew that he had become a freak in the eyes of many cadres in Pingling and Taihua. I was originally supposed to be a member of Li Peizheng's family, but after returning to Pingling, I became distant from Li Peizheng. Then I became too radical in the matter of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory, and seemed to have no consideration at all as an official cadre. He should be as low-key as he should be, and then he not only had a fight with Zhang Wenliang in public without any scruples, but also hurt Zhang Wenliang's face. It can be said that all these performances are completely incompatible with the officialdom that people are familiar with, and now at such a sensitive time, he has returned to take over Geng Zhen's work in the investigation team in accordance with Cui Jianbin's instructions. Du Yan believes that in the eyes of others at this time, he can say that not only has he completely offended a large number of people, but he may also end up causing trouble because of what happened next. Du Yan ignored the stares from around him and walked towards Li Peizheng's office. Seeing Du Yan come in, Li Peizheng¡¯s secretary Xiao Chen stood up immediately.There are some rumors that there seems to be some estrangement between Secretary Li and Director Du, but as a secretary, Xiao Chen knows very well that Secretary Li has never revealed any objection to Director Du, no matter who he is in front of or behind. And sometimes when chatting, Xiao Chen heard Secretary Li accidentally mention some things that happened when Director Du was around him in the past, which made Xiao Chen feel that Secretary Li still valued Director Du very much. "Director Du, Secretary Li is free right now. You can go in by yourself." Xiao Chen said with a smile. "This is not good, please go in and talk to the secretary." Du Yan declined Xiao Chen's kindness. In fact, Xiao Chen once called him Brother Du, but after he became a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Xiao Chen began to change his name. Director Du, Du Yan knew that this was Xiao Chen trying to distinguish the superior-subordinate relationship between the two people. Since they knew how to advance and retreat, of course he couldn't overstep his authority and ignore them. A smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face. He knew that Du Yan was doing this to show respect for him. He walked into the inner room and came out after a while and said with a smile: "Director Du, go in, Secretary Li is waiting for you. " After saying that, Xiao Chen seemed to remember something and smiled at Du Yan and said casually: "Director Du, Secretary Li always thinks of you when you are not here. When we were gossiping a few days ago, I mentioned that I went out to drink with you. What about the green fruit wine?" Looking at Xiao Chen's naturally envious expression when he said this, Du Yan smiled faintly. When he passed by Xiao Chen, he raised his hand, first paused and then placed it on Xiao Chen's shoulder. He patted briefly and then walked towards the door. It¡¯s just that Xiao Chen didn¡¯t notice that Du Yan let out a low sigh the moment he opened the door. Based on Du Yan's understanding of Li Peizheng's temperament, he knew that although Li Peizheng was a nostalgic person, he was also a true official cadre, not an emotional mediocre person. Since there has been a gap between himself and Li Peizheng, unless this gap can be eliminated, Li Peizheng will not marry his mother-in-law because of the previous friendship between the two parties. And the more he mentioned his past affairs in front of Xiao Chen, the more it showed that Li Peizheng really missed the time when the two of them worked together. But similarly, the more this is the case, the more it means that Li Peizheng has gradually given up hope that he might stand with him again. Li Peizheng's room was still so simple and modest. When Li Peizheng reached for the cigarette case on the table after seeing him come in, Du Yan walked over out of habit and picked up the lighter next to him and lit it for him. Li Peizheng nodded silently and motioned for Du Yan to sit on the chair opposite his desk. After taking a deep breath of cigarette and exhaling it forcefully, Li Peizheng asked: "Secretary Cui should have told you the reason for transferring you back." "Secretary Cui has already told me the general reason." Du Yan was concise and to the point. He saw that the expression on Li Peizheng's face seemed to become more solemn after hearing this sentence, so he stopped and waited. "Deputy Magistrate Geng will return to the county government for the time being, but we won't arrange work yet. Of course, some matters require detailed investigation before a decision can be made." Du Yan nodded silently. He knew that Li Peizheng was hinting at Geng Zhen. After all, the specific circumstances of the loss of the evaluation report are not very clear yet, but Geng Zhen will probably be punished for dereliction of duty at the least. Although this is not a catastrophe for the still young Geng Zhen, it should be regarded as a disaster. A big blow. What¡¯s more, if the investigation results find that Geng Zhen is related to the evidence loss incident, then the nature of the matter will be completely different. Perhaps this will be a fatal obstacle in Geng Zhen¡¯s career. But, is the investigation really clear? Not only did Du Yan have no hope, he simply didn't think there would be a real result. ¡°After all, there are too many people who don¡¯t want to see that report reappear, and even some people who want to use this incident to stir up trouble actually don¡¯t want the truth to be revealed to the public. ¡°After all, what is involved here is no longer a trivial matter such as some people enriching their own pockets, but an issue that may completely shake the image of cadres and the government in the minds of the masses. In the face of such so-called "major issues of right and wrong," even factions that fight to the death will often compromise with each other and eventually reach some tacit understanding in order to maintain the government's image. Thinking of this, Du Yan suddenly felt that Geng was really a smart man. Maybe he saw the secret behind this and dared to do it boldly. Maybe even after this incident, he became a good person in the eyes of some people. The kind of person who best understands and implements leadership intentions. "Xiao Du, what are you going to do?" Li Peizheng asked, looking at Du Yan sitting opposite through the smoke, Li Peizheng had to admit that he could no longer see clearly what was in front of him.He was already a young man. In fact, from the moment Du Yan entered the Provincial Party School, Li Peizheng began to feel a certain distance between this young man and himself. But at that time, he thought it was just because of the difference in height. Only after Du Yan returned to Pingling did Li Peizheng truly feel the irreparable rift between the two people. "Secretary Li, I don't know where the investigation team's work is now, so I have to understand the specific work before I can report to you." Du Yan sighed secretly when he answered this. He knew that Li Peizheng must be happy with his answer. feel disappointed. Although it seems that Cui Jianbin suggested that he be transferred back to join the investigation team, it stands to reason that he and Li Peizheng should be able to get along harmoniously and even take the opportunity to mend the previous rift between the two. After all, through Qu Xiangshan's relationship, Li Pei Zheng Zheng and Cui Jianbin are both members of the executive vice governor Yang Weimin's family, and he is now working for Cui Jianbin. But in fact, both of them knew that the reason why Cui Jianbin transferred Du Yan back was to try his best to restore his precarious position, and to take the opportunity to use Du Yan as a stick to knock some people down. In other words, in Cui Jianbin's eyes, Du Yan is not only not his person, but also a tool that may be discarded immediately once used. And Cui Jianbin's thoughts may not be unknown to others. At least it can be seen from the fact that no one ever revealed to Du Yan that Qu Xiangshan would accompany Gao Ke down for inspection. Li Peizheng nodded slightly. He actually did not expect Du Yan to really answer his question. He believed that Du Yan could not be unclear about his situation, so looking at his former secretary, Li Peizheng felt somewhat uncomfortable. "Xiao Du, have you ever thought about moving?" After thinking about it for a while, Li Peizheng finally asked. "Thank you, Secretary." Du Yan's originally calm voice was slightly touched. He knew that at this point, it was already rare for Li Peizheng to ask him such a question. Thinking of Li Peizheng's help to him when he was framed before, Du Yan couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. "Secretary, I have decided to go back to the new district to make some arrangements, and then start participating in the work of the investigation team." Listen. Hearing Du Yan's words, Li Peizheng nodded silently. His face finally returned to a serious look. He knew that Du Yan's words were implying that he wanted to regain control of the new district. This could also be said to be Du Yan's promise to Cui Jianbin to take over Geng Zhen's investigation. A swap of group positions. "I will mention this at the Standing Committee meeting tomorrow." Li Peizheng said lightly. Although Du Yan was transferred from the new district and even asked him to leave Taihua temporarily, Du Yan's name as director of the new district was still there. This time he returned Of course, it is natural for him to take charge of the work of the new district again when he arrives in Pingling. However, this seemingly natural matter has become somewhat troublesome due to the previous conflict between Du Yan and Zhang Wenliang. However, Li Peizheng is not worried that there will be objections on the Standing Committee. After all, too many people are waiting to see how the good show at Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory will continue, and Du Yan's return undoubtedly indicates that the climax of this good show is about to begin. And the bet behind this good show is probably the municipal party secretary¡¯s seat that Cui Jianbin has held for nearly seven years! Feeling a hint of unconcealable embarrassment as the office suddenly became silent, Du Yan stood up slowly, knowing that it was time for him to leave. Looking at Li Peizheng, Du Yan stretched out his hand. In fact, this is not in line with the rules of the officialdom. Shaking hands may seem simple, but there is a great mystery behind it. Cadres who understand the rules know that they cannot take the initiative to reach out to the leader. They must wait until the leader raises his hand but has not fully extended it. , immediately raised his hands to meet the leader and held them. It is difficult to seize this kind of timing to win the favor of the people, but if you can't do this, then being ugly in the officialdom is a trivial matter, but it will delay your future. Got it. Although they are both members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Du Yan is a subordinate after all, so his initiative to reach out is naturally not in line with official rules. But Li Peizheng did not show any displeasure. He stood up and looked at Du Yan seriously, then silently stretched out his hand to shake it with Du Yan! "Xiao Du, please take care of the hundreds of millions of national assets of the heavy machinery factory and the future of nearly 10,000 workers and their families!" Looking at the solemn look in Li Peizheng's eyes and feeling the power from his palms, Du Yan shook his hand hard. , replied with the same solemn expression: "Please rest assured, Secretary Li, I know what to do." Walking out of Li Peizheng's office, Du Yan happened to see Gong Yerong, the county finance director, waiting in the secretary's office outside. Seeing Du Yan, Gong Yerong couldn't help but be slightly startled. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and then his face immediatelyHe smiled. "Director Du, are you back from Shanghai? It's really fast." Gong Yerong chuckled. Du Yan also smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Gong Yerong and chatted for a few words. Du Yan also felt emotional when he saw the seemingly respectful but empty smile on Gong Yerong's face. When he just returned to Pingling, he had heard Hu Weiping say that Gong Yerong had been stuck several times in the funding reports applied for by the new district. Although it seemed at first that it was aimed at the previous new district director Liu Jiahui, and after Du Yan took over, Gong Yerong had promised to Those appropriation reports were approved, but not long after, as the relationship between Du Yan and Li Peizheng seemed to become more delicate, those appropriation reports disappeared again. Of course Du Yan knew that as the first cadre to defect to Li Peizheng in Pingling, Gong Yerong could be regarded as Li Peizheng's core supporter. Speaking of Gong Yerong's decision to defect to Li Peizheng, it was Du Yan who pushed him. But because he, as the finance chief, relied on Li Peizheng to win over the talents of the former county magistrate Guo Songlin, Gong Yerong knew better that he had no room for maneuver and could only follow Li Peizheng. So once it was discovered that there was a problem in the relationship between Du Yan and Li Peizheng, while others were still observing silently, Gong Yerong was the first to rush out. "Director Gong, the funding report required by the new district has been submitted several times. Director Gong has always been sitting on Diaoyutai." Du Yan smiled, but the meaning behind his words slowly changed the smile on Gong Yerong's face. Gotta get tough. "Director Du, you know that the county's finances are indeed tight now, especially since the central government has repeatedly reiterated that it will block funding," Gong Yerong said with a smile as much as he could. Seeing Du Yan's face slowly darken, He immediately went on to say, "Don't worry, Director Du. I will definitely find a way after I go back. Even if there are difficulties, I will overcome them and not hinder the construction of the new district." "I hope so, Director Gong," Du Yan smiled faintly, and then seemed to As if remembering something, he said, "By the way, Director Gong, I heard that there is a deputy director in your Finance Bureau named Xie. I heard that he is a comrade with a very high professional level. It seems that your Finance Bureau is really full of talents." " After saying that, Du Yan ignored Gong Yerong, who had a look of astonishment on his face, and walked out the door. Gong Yerong turned around and stared at Du Yan's back. He was thinking quickly. He first wondered why Du Yan paid attention to a deputy director of the county finance bureau who was ranked low. Then he suddenly thought of Du Yan who had just been there not long ago. Doesn¡¯t the resigned girlfriend Su Qian work in the Finance Bureau? Could it be that Lao Xie had a relationship with Du Yan through Su Qian? So what does he mean? Gong Yerong began to sweat on the tip of his nose. He had to check out the new district because of conflicts between Li Peizheng and Du Yan. In Gong Yerong's heart, he always thought that Du Yan was Li Peizheng's secretary, so he felt that he did not need to be afraid of Du Yan. But only now did he suddenly realize that Du Yan was no longer the secretary and secretary who always smiled when he met him, but the secretary and secretary who always smiled when he met him. Li Peizheng can even compete with the county committee standing committee members in the county committee standing committee! "Director Du!" A call made him stop walking downstairs. He turned around and saw a pretty but melancholy face. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 45 Return to the New District Du Yan looked up at the young female cadre standing on top of the stairs looking down at him. "Xiao Chu, is something wrong?" Du Yan asked calmly. This female cadre was Xiao Chu, who worked in the confidential office of the county party committee office. Du Yan was deeply impressed by this girl, because at the reception banquet for Du Yan to take up his post in Pingling, the original deputy director of the county party committee office, Lao Yu, borrowed alcohol for a reason. Sa Feng was rude to her, which finally brought him to a dead end. "Director Du, I heard that you are here to investigate the missing report from the heavy machinery factory, right?" Xiao Chu asked in a panic. She looked very uneasy, and her hands clenched tightly as she spoke. Holding hands together, there was a hint of scruple and distrust in her hesitant eyes, as if she didn't know whether she should bother the young county party leader. Du Yan frowned slightly. He didn't expect that he had just returned from Shencheng for two days, but it seemed that the entire Pingling and even Taihua officialdom knew what he was back for. "Xiao Chu, if you have any situation, you can report it directly to the investigation team. It is not convenient for me to ask about this aspect of work now." Du Yan said to Xiao Chu calmly. For a moment, Xiao Chu seemed to show a trace of disappointment, but she also looked relieved. She bit her lip and nodded without saying anything else, and walked silently past Du Yan. Looking at Xiao Chu's back, Du Yan pondered for a moment. He could feel that Xiao Chu seemed to have something to say to him, but he did not stop Xiao Chu. Du Yan knew very well that there must be countless pairs of eyes staring at him at this time. No matter what his actual attitude was, as long as he made any move, it would become an opportunity for some people to cause trouble. ¡°Perhaps Cui Jianbin took a fancy to this point and decided to use him again. Du Yan knew that although Cui Jianbin was indeed passive about the incident of missing the report, it had not yet developed to the point where he could shake his position as secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. After all, not only had Geng Zhen's missing documents not been confirmed yet, there was not even a proper conclusion. The investigation has not been officially launched. What worries Du Yan is that he saw Geng Zhen and Zeng Zhenping together before. He doesn't understand what kind of position Geng Zhen occupies in Cui Jianbin's Taihua family, and what will happen to Cui Jianbin once he changes sides. However, it can be seen from Zeng Zhenping's intervention to win over Geng Zhen that Geng Zhen may actually have some evidence against Cui Jianbin. ¡°At least if Geng Zhen openly betrays Cui Jianbin, it will definitely pose a great threat to Cui Jianbin¡¯s already unstable position as secretary. ¡°Does Cui Jianbin want to kill everyone? Du Yan thought about it in his mind. Cui Jianbin transferred Du Yan back at this time, his intention was obviously very obvious, that is, to make use of Du Yan's characteristics that can be said to have nothing to do with the various factions in Taihua, and to make a big fuss. Cui Jianbin may even have more in mind. His arrangement may not give people the idea that he was attacked by his opponent and deliberately made the matter worse to attract the attention of the province. In this way, the province will find out how difficult Cui Jianbin's situation is. Although doing so will greatly damage the prestige of Cui Jianbin, the municipal party secretary, firstly, Cui Jianbin, the municipal party secretary, has indeed made things difficult, and secondly, as Yang Weiping had arranged earlier Cui Jianbin, the pioneer from Hexi Province, actually did not play a big role due to his ability issues. If he did not try his best to curb Ren Shuqiang's move to expand his power in this matter, it would indeed be difficult for him to explain to Yang Weiping in the future. And when he does this, he is not completely passive. At least for the province, Cui Jianbin is also the municipal party committee secretary of Taihua. The province may not be willing to see Ren Shuqiang suppressing Cui Jianbin like that. After all, any party in the same team is too strong. Not a good thing. "Geng Zhen" Du Yan secretly pondered in his heart. On the surface, it seemed that everything was key to the executive deputy county magistrate, whether it was the missing evaluation report or Geng Zhen's personal attitude. But Du Yan knew that the evaluation report was just a small introduction to all this. He believed that neither Cui Jianbin nor Ren Shuqiang actually paid attention to that report at all. It was just after a long period of overt and covert fighting between them. , a small signal that finally showed off completely. " Du Yan sighed softly. The fate of so many workers and their families in the heavy machinery factory has become a tool for some people's intrigues at this time, and he has also become a part of this political strife. Du Yan walked out of the county party committee office building and saw a familiar old jeep parked in the yard. Seeing him coming out, Hu Weiping, director of the New District Party Committee Office, got out of the old jeep and walked towards him. "Director, welcome back, thank you for your hard work on this trip." Hu Wei said with a smile. This former principal of the town-run middle school always seemed so calm at all times, and everyoneUntil he is in this state now, he would never have thought that Chen Laogan, the old party secretary of Daqing Township, would suppress him for ten years because he was afraid that he would not know how to advance or retreat and would act on his own initiative. "Weiping, actually I haven't been gone for a few days," Du Yan looked at Hu Weiping's solemn smile and said nothing more. After getting in the car, he casually asked Hu Weiping about his work. Seeing Hu Weiping's always methodical answers, Du Yan was silent for a moment before calmly asking, "Has anything happened in the district these days?" Seeing Hu Weiping looking at him, Du Yan shook his head slightly: "Wei Ping, if nothing happened, you wouldn't give such a detailed report." Hearing what Du Yan said, Hu Weiping showed a wry smile. Although he already knew that Du Yan was back when he received Du Yan's call from home the day before. I decided not to report to Du Yan in person until today. This was of course because many things could not be explained clearly on the phone, and Hu Weiping considered that Du Yan had just returned home and did not want to ruin his mood so quickly. "He is such a director. Secretary Shi has been very enthusiastic about work in recent days, and he is especially concerned about some cadres in the new district." After hearing what Hu Weiping said, Du Yan remained silent. He knew that the so-called high enthusiasm for work actually meant The hand is stretched a bit too far, and caring about some cadres is naturally trying to win people's hearts. Shi Changgeng will not be his town secretary honestly. Du Yan has known this for a long time. Especially after the establishment of the new district, Shi Changgeng is one of the most promising candidates to become the director of the new district. Although Du Yan, who knows the inside story, is very clear that the position of new district director will not fall to Shi Changgeng in any case, Shi Changgeng himself obviously does not think so. At least he still has certain competitive strength when he thinks about it. of. So in this case, it was not surprising that he would make some small moves while Du Yan was away. However, Du Yan had only been away for a few days and he was eager to reach out. This made Du Yan feel that Shi Changgeng was a little too impatient. . "Secretary Shi and Secretary Lao Mei went to Tongyang a few days ago. I heard that Secretary Shi found a big customer. The day before yesterday, he invited the four of you to go out for dinner together, and they also went hunting for wild animals in the mountains behind the town. ." Hu Weiping said seemingly casually. Seeing that Du Yan had no intention of speaking, Hu Weiping continued: "Secretary Shi has held slightly more meetings in the past few days, but most of them mentioned the development of new districts. However, Secretary Shi seemed to be concerned about the development speed of previous new districts. Secretary Shi believes that since the new district already has such a good policy and has received enough attention from superior leaders, it should speed up its development in order to develop as quickly as possible. It is best to form a new area as soon as possible that is mainly based on processing and mining industries. "Oh, does Secretary Shi have any specific plans in this regard?" Du Yan asked slightly surprised. He didn't expect that although he obviously wanted to confront him, Shi Changgeng did. In actual work, he began to think of ways for the new district, which somewhat changed Du Yan's impression of Shi Changgeng. "Secretary Shi believes that the unique clay soil quality in Liuliji has great potential. He believes that mining of clay can be vigorously promoted and sold externally. In addition, he believes that Suci's rice-growing technology can be exchanged for some foreign investment" "Wait a minute, What are you talking about?" Du Yan suddenly interrupted Hu Weiping, "Are you saying that Secretary Shi wants to use the current rice kiln technology to attract foreign investment?" "Yes, Director Du, this is the main situation I want to report to you." Hu Weiping sat up slightly. This action made Du Yan secretly pay attention to it, because for some time he had discovered that although his sitting posture was always very upright, as long as he talked about something he thought was important, Hu Weiping would involuntarily change his mind. Correct your sitting posture. "Director, Secretary Shi contacted a Hong Kong businessman introduced by the Municipal Commercial Committee some time ago. The Hong Kong businessman seems to be in the ceramics business. He is very interested in the plain kilns in Liuliji and went to see them in person. Yes, and there seems to be an intention to invest. The Municipal Commercial Committee is also very active in this regard. I specifically approached Secretary Shi and hoped that he could keep the Hong Kong businessman. " Listening to Hu Weiping's serious report, Du Yan nodded secretly. Of course, the trust in Hu Weiping comes from his appreciation. It can be said that Hu Weiping got another chance because of his appreciation. More importantly, Hu Weiping's mentality has indeed undergone tremendous changes after more than ten years of training. The reckless cadre who did not realize how much harm he would bring to himself by talking nonsense, even now, even when reporting the actions of his opponent Shi Changgeng, he still tried his best not to make unbiased decisions based on personal opinions. From these explanations that interfered with the leader's judgment, Du Yan really admired Chen Laojie, an old man who seemed to have little education, but in fact he really understood many things. "That Hong Kong development company is very optimistic about SuThey believe that if our plain ceramics are only developed as craft ceramics, they will not have much market effect. On the contrary, if we can use our unique clay resources as an investment and use the firing technology they provide, we can be used in high-end building materials. There is a certain development in the market, so the conditions they proposed are that we provide clay and personnel sites, they provide technical equipment, and then they are responsible for opening up the market. " Listening to Hu Weiping's introduction, Du Yan nodded slightly but didn't say anything. By this time, he could almost guess what the Hong Kong Development Company was doing. "In fact, it's not unusual to say it, because of the domestic news Occluded, even some relatively developed cities at this time have an inexplicable sense of mystery about the so-called Hong Kong and Taiwan markets. In most people's impressions, in addition to skyscrapers, highways and the so-called decadent bourgeois lifestyle, those overseas places But there are not many more realistic impressions. As for the market, it is even more shady. It is precisely because of this information gap that the Hong Kong Development Company dared to propose such conditions. The equipment should be things that have been eliminated or even scrapped abroad. In fact, this method is more popular among some domestic "officials" with a deep background. In Du Yan's memory, a certain big boss once happened. The import and export company affiliated to my wife bought scrapped foreign machines directly from the crushing factory at scrap prices, and then sold them to a domestic machinery factory at a high price in the name of so-called advanced equipment. It is precisely because of this that the machinery factory is wasting money. After receiving a large amount of funds and accepting such a batch of scrap products that could not be used at all, it could no longer be maintained, causing the factory to go bankrupt and a large number of workers to lose their jobs. Now that I think about it, it seems that this Hong Kong Development Company was so highly recommended by the Municipal Commerce Commission. It¡¯s unlikely that it¡¯s just a Hong Kong businessman. ¡°Is the representative of this Hong Kong Development Company still in the new district? "Du Yan asked. "Still, but it seems that I went to the city today," Hu Weiping paused and continued, "It seems that Secretary-General Liu of the Municipal Party Committee invited me to go. " "Liu Zhi? "Du Yan said softly. He didn't expect that Liu Zhi, the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, was involved. In Du Yan's impression, although Liu Zhi was a taciturn and scheming person, he was still very disciplined in doing things. After all, although outsiders In his eyes, he is the leader of the municipal party committee in name, but more of a steward of the municipal party committee. This position itself is quite sensitive, and Cui Jianbin seems not to be very fond of Liu Zhi. Liu Zhi, the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, is naturally more cautious when he is the secretary-general of the municipal party committee. . So when I heard that Hong Kong Development Company was actually involved with Liu Zhi, Du Yan was somewhat surprised. Was he destined to work against the leader? Du Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was not because his son Zhang Tao was deliberately making things difficult, but Du Yan was not willing to have a head-on conflict with a deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. A member of the standing committee of the county party committee openly challenged the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. It seemed awe-inspiring, but no matter whether he succeeded or failed, it was not worth the loss. At least one comment of "disrespecting the leader" was enough for him to sit down on the bench. The old jeep kept bumping on the road, and Du Yan was thinking a lot as he looked at the trees on the roadside that kept receding. It has been two years since the establishment of the new district, but the real effect is not significant. This is of course related to the fact that the development of the new district has been stagnant in the past two years. More importantly, Du Yan discovered a phenomenon that made him feel helpless, that is, whether it is Both Pingling and Taihua seem to regard the new district as a cash machine with unlimited withdrawals. In the eyes of those people, the economic development of the new district seems to be a bargaining chip to prove fiscal revenue, but few people take it seriously. We should turn the new district into a catalyst that can play a greater role. "When people die, the government will rest, and when people die, the government will rest" Du Yan, who leaned his head on the seat, closed his eyes and sighed with emotion in his heart. He knew that those officials Therefore, this idea is closely related to the political environment in China where people and government are at a loss. In the eyes of those people, no matter how well the new district is doing, it may be defeated overnight if there is a slight change in policy. Going back to the prototype, it is obvious that the new district can get the attention of the province only because some provincial leaders look at it differently. Once the relevant leaders leave their current positions, who will care about that small and remote place anymore? , If you can't take advantage of the good opportunity of the new district to make more political achievements, then you have spent so many years in the officialdom. Du Yan secretly sighed in his heart. He knew that there were many people with this kind of thinking, even Li Peizheng. There is also the idea of ??using new districts to fill the vacancies in Pingling. This can only be said to be inherent to cadres in this era.Although it cannot be said that this attitude is wrong, Du Yan knows that it is precisely because of this short-sighted approach of fishing for all the benefits that many domestic emerging industries with weak foundations are not only struggling, but also struggling. Facing exploitation from all sides. Du Yan secretly sighed softly. He knew that it was useless to just sigh at this time. At least in the new district, the Hong Kong businessman Shi Changgeng attracted would be enough for him to cope with it for a while. Hong Kong businessmen in this era still have not completely shed their halo in the eyes of many mainland officials. Even after many years, the "super-national" status of Hong Kong and Taiwan businessmen has not changed much. Just as we saw in Shanghai that the local government would dispatch armed police to help Hong Kong businessmen suppress striking workers, in the eyes of more correct mainland officials, all foreign businessmen, including Hong Kong businessmen, have not only brought them the benefits of economic development In addition, more seems to bring them some political benefits. For these reasons, Du Yan could imagine why the representative of the Hong Kong Development Company was received by Liu Zhi, Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee. After all, you can guess that as a prefecture-level city in a mainland province, it can not only attract Coming to foreign businessmen can establish a certain good relationship with foreign businessmen. In this environment of reform and opening up, which is increasingly valued, it is obviously an obvious political achievement. As Liu Zhi, the secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, it is hard to say that He is indeed the most suitable person for contacting foreign businessmen. ¡°After all, although contacting guests from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan is the responsibility of the United Front Minister, if the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee comes forward, it will not only appear that Taihua attaches more importance to it, but also does not have any political identity. As for the origin of the Hong Kong Development Company, Du Yan couldn't check it for a while. At this time, he couldn't help but think of Zhao Xiaoyun. This made Du Yan feel a little ashamed. He didn't expect that his dependence on Zhao Xiaoyun had reached such an extent. He just thought about it since he woke up from the dream. Except for the time when he was Li Peizheng's secretary at the beginning, he seemed to have become the same as Zhao Xiaoyun. A relationship that was not only unclear but increasingly complicated. Especially after this trip to Shanghai, he found that he actually had a stronger desire to possess Zhao Xiaoyun, which made Du Yan feel that he This emotion is becoming increasingly incomprehensible. "Go back to the district first." Du Yan whispered. He knew that because the driver was there, Hu Weiping must have some other things that he had not explained to him, but from the reports just now, he was almost sure that Shi Changgeng had something to do with him. It¡¯s no small act to step away from this period of time. But he still seemed a little impatient. Du Yan believed that Shi Changgeng did this because he was eager to seize power while he was away. More importantly, maybe it was because he heard about the relationship between the Hong Kong Development Company and the county or the county. Relationships with certain leaders in the city. At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the car finally drove into Daqing Township. In the distance, a crowd of people who had been waiting appeared in front of the new district office building. To Du Yan's surprise, the jeep had not completely stopped. Deputy Secretary of the Daqing Township Committee Peng Jun was the first to walk out of the crowd. Du Yan got out of the car and looked at the seemingly happy expression on Peng Jun's face. He couldn't help but smile secretly after thinking about it for a moment. It seems that Secretary Shi is quite capable. At least Deputy Secretary Peng may not be having an easy time these days. "Director, you are back," Peng Jun stretched out his hands to hold Du Yan's. Hearing his address without even his last name, the cadres standing behind couldn't help showing strange expressions on their faces: "Director Ah, these days everyone has been looking forward to your coming back soon. The work in the district is too complicated and cannot be separated from your guidance, director. " "What are you talking about, Lao Peng? The earth will continue to rotate without anyone," Du Yan and Peng Jun were joking while holding hands. He didn't believe Peng Jun's words at all, and he also knew that the purpose of Peng Jun's pretentiousness was just to show some people. In this case, he didn't care. Follow the show, "Besides, Secretary Shi is in charge of the work now. I have other work when I come back this time. I have to make this clear in advance." "I know, I heard about it, director. You have more important work when you come back this time." " Peng Jun deliberately leaned forward and whispered in a low voice, which seemed to others like two people talking privately. This affectation made the cadres behind who were just watching the fun lose their minds. end. Thinking about it carefully, Shi Changgeng became the acting director of the new district after Du Yan left. Anyone who has done a little eye-catching work during this period will understand, and the conflict between Shi Changgeng and Peng Jun has become more and more intense. Especially just a few days ago, Shi Changgeng made an excuse at the meeting to check the accounts of the Daqing Township Seed Station, and the director of the Daqing Township Seed Station was Peng Jun's younger brother. This makes Peng Jun not only angry but also uneasy. After all, there is something about him, such asIf Shi Changgeng really wanted to dig deep, it might not involve him. So when he heard that Du Yan suddenly returned to Pingling, Peng Jun felt happy. Not only did he give his restaurant wife a hard time after returning home, but he even stayed in bed afterwards. He hummed the tune of "The fallen serf sings". "Director, Secretary Shi is going to do research. I will bring everyone to greet you today." Seeing Du Yan looking at the crowd behind him, Peng Jun naturally couldn't forget to give Shi Changgeng eye drops. "You Shi Changgeng didn't do research earlier and later, and you rushed to leave at this time. Isn't this just a deliberate attempt to shame others? In this case, I, Lao Peng, can't stand up to you, Secretary Shi, if I don't help you." "Secretary Shi is very busy, but I came back too hastily, and there are new work arrangements in the city this time, so I will come back and take a look first. Secretary Shi will still be responsible for the work in the district for the time being," Du Yan said as he While talking to Peng Jun, he shook hands with the cadres who came up one by one. When he saw Chen Si's eyes looking forward to coming over, Du Yan smiled softly, "Let's do this. Let's have a meeting in two hours. I'll listen." Everyone¡¯s opinions on recent work and problems encountered. Secretary Shi will go down to investigate, but he will also send a personal comrade to him, but if he is too busy, there is no need to rush back. " "Okay, that's it," Peng Jun. The smile on his face seemed to be blooming. He could tell that Director Du's words meant to simply throw Shi Changgeng aside. It seemed that Director Du already knew that Secretary Shi wanted to play tricks. As soon as he came back, he I want to give Secretary Shi some color. "Weiping, thank you for your hard work. Don't take a break. Take a few young people from the district committee to arrange a meeting and notify relevant personnel." Peng Jun hurriedly ordered to Hu Weiping who was following behind. When he saw Hu Weiping nodding silently, he stepped forward and took Hu Weiping's hand and shook it a few times: "Old Hu, I know you are working hard, but Director Du has just come back and is busy working, so we have to work harder." Okay, let's do that. You can go to my shop after get off work and I'll treat you to dinner tonight. " "Secretary Peng, it's my duty to work for the leader," Hu Weiping smiled modestly. He knew Peng Jun. It was because he was Du Yan's confidant that he could get so close to him. However, although Hu Weiping had become much more open-minded about Peng Jun's somewhat artificial behavior, he still felt disapproval from the bottom of his heart. Chen Siyou, who was standing nearby, looked at Peng Jun, but simply curled his lips slightly. Peng Jun didn't seem to care what others thought of him. He and Du Yan walked into the office building together. They didn't say hello until they arrived outside the office and walked to his office. Walking into the office that he had left for a while, Du Yan felt a little emotional. He did not expect that so many things would happen during this period, and the situation he would face next might be more serious. Du Yan was sitting alone in the office, meditating. During this period, Hu Weiping's son Hu Xuecong quietly closed the door and left after delivering tea. However, it didn't take long for Hu Xuecong to push the door open and walk in again. "Secretary, there are guests outside who want to see you." Hu Xuecong whispered. "Who is it?" Du Yan asked curiously. He didn't expect that someone would come looking for him just after he came back. "It's Boss Shen from Liyuju," Hu Xuecong said. When Du Yan looked towards him, Hu Xuecong immediately explained, "Boss Shen has been coming to the district committee every day to ask if you are back, but no one has tipped him off." "Really?" Du Yan smiled. He remembered that he had previously revealed to Shen Hefu about the facade house behind the Pingling 307 Electronics Factory. Shen Hefu had spent almost all his money on that facade house. He must have been restless during this period. Thinking of this, Du Yan's heart suddenly moved. He looked at his watch: "There is still some time before we leave. Please come in, Old Shen." Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 46 Shi Changgeng's Counterattack When Shen Hefu walked into Du Yan's office, Du Yan noticed a trace of randomness that could still be seen in his steps even though he concealed it. Du Yan knew what this period of time meant to Shen Hefu. He believed that he had pointed out to Shen Hefu about the large area of ????the 307 Factory in Liyuju. After the future planning, Shen Hefu must really make plans. Thoughts. Du Yan still admires Shen Hefu's vision and sense of smell. Du Yan remembers that it was around this time that Shen Hefu saw with extraordinary insight the importance of the area of ??Factory 307 in the subsequent Pingling city reform plan. Because of this, Shen Hefu did not hesitate to bet all his wealth on the large facade house behind the No. 307 Factory. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????, ?? Shen Hefu's decision at that time was still talked about by people even many years later. At that time, his career had already reached Taihua. It was only later that he was secretly awarded the title in the contest with Zeng Zhenping. Zeng Zhenping, who was supported by Municipal Party Committee Secretary Ren Shuqiang, gave him a severe blow, and had no choice but to withdraw from Taihua and go south. Otherwise, Shen Hefu's influence in Taihua would never be weaker than Zeng Zhenping. "Director Du, I have been waiting for you to come back for a long time." Shen Hefu sat across from Du Yan's desk. In addition to a handbag, he also had a large bulging paper bag in his hand. When he saw Hu Xuecong holding it After coming in with tea, Shen Hefu immediately brought the paper bag and placed a large roll of paper rolled into a long tube on the desk. "Director Du, this is something I brought. I want you to take a look." Seeing Shen Hefu being so cautious, Du Yan just smiled slightly. He knew that there was no need to remind Shen Hefu. Even if he did it to avoid suspicion, as long as anyone saw him coming in with the paper bag, it was Hu Xuecong who would do it for others. He explained that it was also difficult to explain in the eyes of others. But as soon as he saw the paper roll spread out on the table, Du Yan's attention was completely attracted by what was drawn on it. This is a floor plan. After thinking about it for a while, Du Yan already knew that the area drawn on the map was exactly the area where the No. 307 Factory Yard is now, and the back street in front of the front house that Shen Hefu currently owns is used as the area. boundary, the entire land within the 307 factory yard is like a huge triangle, appearing on the west side of Pingling County, and it happens to be two far opposite streets to the east of the county town with the county committee and county government as the center. point. "Old Shen, who did you ask to help you draw it?" Du Yan looked at the plan carefully and asked with a smile. He believed that the ink in Shen Hefu's belly should not be at this level, and he was a little surprised. Yes, although this planning map looks like just a sketch, it can be seen from some small marks that the person who drew this map has fully considered the characteristics of this triangle area and the features that should be highlighted, so some facilities The arrangement is more about making people feel comfortable. If you think about it carefully, it even has the characteristics of later generations of dedicated commercial areas. "One of my cousins ??works in the Provincial Planning Institute," Shen Hefu said with a hint of pride on his face. At this time, businessmen have not yet reached the point where they are completely arrogant as long as they have money, and they still maintain a certain attitude towards cultural people. Some kind of inexplicable admiration "My cousin can be called a capable person. He just listened to what I said and almost understood what I meant. Then I showed him the map of our Pingling, and he drew it like this as a reference. Something." Du Yan nodded silently. He knew that what he said before had indeed moved Shen Hefu. What was even more rare was that Shen Hefu not only grasped the key points of the information he revealed, but also quickly understood it. Smell the opportunity hidden in it. "Old Shen, you need to know that if the land of Factory 307 is really going to be developed, the little funds you have now are simply not qualified to start such a big stall." Du Yan said lightly, he knew that in the future Shen Hefu's natural adventurous spirit must be playing the trick of using small things to make big things, but he doesn't want Shen Hefu to continue playing like this, because Du Yan, who has experienced the experience of later generations, knows better than anyone else that this kind of using small things to make big things certainly depends on Superb capital management skills, but in fact it relies more on various relationships. Just like Zeng Zhenping in later generations, he relied on the secret support of Ren Shuqiang to obtain enough low-interest loans from banks, and then returned the real estate built with these loans to the bank to obtain more loans. Using this snowballing method, Zeng Zhenping became a popular figure in Taihua City almost overnight. However, this kind of capital chain that relied entirely on back-room operations was extremely fragile. More importantly, everything about him was tightly tied. In the case of Ren Shuqiang, the ups and downs of Ren Shuqiang's official career have become a barometer of his career.   Fortunately for Zeng Zhenping, Ren Shuqiang's official career had been going smoothly until he saw that the momentum was not right and fled abroad with a huge sum of money. It was precisely because of this that Zeng Zhenping was able to accumulate a lot of money in a short period of time. A considerable amount of wealth. Du Yan didn¡¯t want Shen Hefu to do this, and he knew that with Shen Hefu¡¯s intelligence, he wouldn¡¯t think he could allow him to do this. ¡°Then the next thing Shen Hefu will do is to try to gain access to his own side of the family. Sure enough, when Shen Hefu saw Du Yan's serious expression, he first smiled with satisfaction, and then handed over a stack of thick documents. "Director Du, this is a copy of the rental contracts of all the front-end houses that I have taken down." Shen Hefu placed the thick stack of copies on the table. "I calculated it. The total rental amount in one year is Two hundred and seventy-seven thousand nine hundred and ten, Director Du, do you think you can" "Old Shen, are you going to use the leasehold rights of that front house as a mortgage?" Du Yan looked at the copy in front of him. He also secretly sighed. He didn't expect that Lao Shen was really good at playing with money, but he could make a net profit of more than 200,000 yuan a year by flipping tricks here and there. " What was the concept of more than two hundred thousand in the early 1990s? Du Yan couldn't help but shake his head secretly after thinking about it carefully. At the same time, he was even more determined to bring Shen Hefu, a money-loving rake, to his side. "It's not all about using these as collateral." Shen Hefu's eyes flashed slightly. He took out a few copies and gently pushed them in front of Du Yan. "Director Du, it's inconvenient to be here. The original rental contracts for these front-end rooms." I'll send it to your home later. This is fifty thousand. " Du Yan looked at the copies on the table, then looked up at Shen Hefu, raised his hand and slowly pushed them back. His move made Shen Hefu first. He was stunned for a moment and then a twinkle appeared in his eyes. Du Yan knew that Shen Hefu was obviously uneasy at this time. It would be fine if he accepted the contract, but if this didn't happen, Lao Shen felt a little unsure. "Old Shen, don't worry too much," Du Yan waved his hand slightly, "To be honest, I do envy you when you make so much money, but you have to understand that there are some money that I can't touch. But the more you do in the urban reform project in the future, Okay, you have already helped me a lot." Listening to Du Yan's words, Shen Hefu nodded slightly. At the same time, after thinking about it in his heart, he couldn't help but admire how little Director Du saw things so clearly at such a young age. He also understands that compared with a promising career in the future, it would be really uneconomical to settle on the small profits in front of him. Seeing that Shen Hefu understood what he meant, Du Yan nodded. He liked to work with such understanding people, at least they knew what to do when. "Old Shen, I want to remind you about your funding problem," Du Yan looked at Shen Hefu. He knew that Shen Hefu should have made up his mind to take over the factory yard of Factory 307 at this time, and he would definitely do his best to do so. If you go, that enthusiasm may be higher than your own, but because of this, Du Yan feels that it is necessary for Shen and Fu to wake up first, "Old Shen, if you just want to rely on big and small methods to boost the capital chain, then it will not be good for you It is very disadvantageous. You should also know that most of the time we have to rely on the above policies, and once the country shrinks funds and does not allow easy lending, the bank will immediately come to you for payment. What should you do in that case? But isn't it easy to get a bank loan now?" A trace of disapproval flashed across Shen Hefu's face at first, but when it was Du Yan who wanted to say this, his heart tightened again, "Director Du, have you heard anything? "Is there going to be a change in policy?" "I'm not talking about a change in policy," Du Yan could only comfort him looking at Shen Hefu's slightly worried expressions, even though Du Yan knew very well that his previous words were just a reflection of what happened a few years later. The matter was revealed in advance. When I think about the drastic changes in national policies and the tightening of money in a few years, countless engineering projects that originally relied on loans have not only been canceled one after another, but also many projects that were already in the middle of the process were stopped midway due to tight funds. , the whole country suffered hundreds of billions of losses, and Du Yan could only remind Shen Hefu to pay attention without revealing more, "I mean your capital chain must not operate only by a single method of repeated mortgages, otherwise "It's very dangerous." "But Director Du, you also know that my family's assets have been put into custody, so where can I find funds?" Shen Hefu couldn't help but look embarrassed. In fact, Shen Hefu himself knew what Du Yan said, but as he said, he had already put his entire wealth and life on those front houses, but he could no longer think of any other way. "Have you ever thought about using external funds?" Du Yan clicked lightly. Seeing Shen Hefu's expressions of surprise, Du Yan raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. "Well, Old Shen, you go back first, and we'll wait for you later."??Let me discuss this issue with you. "As Du Yan stood up. Although Shen Hefu had hundreds of questions to ask, he also knew that it was time for him to leave. He was just thinking about what Du Yan said to him, but he really couldn't think of a clue. However, when he left Du Yan's office, he made up his mind. Since Du Yan had already said this, no matter whether he could find a way to obtain funds, he must work hard, because he had realized that , Director Xiao Du seemed to want to take advantage of the urban reform in Factory 307 to show off. After seeing off Shen Hefu, Du Yan sat in his office for a while and thought about it carefully. Speaking of Shen Hefu's conversation, just before Shen Hefu walked in, he only had a vague idea in his mind. However, with the in-depth conversation with Shen Hefu about the renovation of the 307th Factory, the original vague idea in his heart also changed. It gradually became clear. Like Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory, the workers of Factory 307 are also facing difficulties. Factory 307, which has been regarded as a burden due to the transformation of the national industrial enterprise, has been in even greater difficulty in recent years. A twisting opportunity happened to appear in front of him. Du Yan thought about it and picked up the phone on the table. When he instinctively wanted to dial a familiar number, he remembered that the owner of the number should still be there at this time. In Shencheng. "Xiaoyun" Du Yan muttered softly, and the charming figure of Zhao Xiaoyun appeared in front of his eyes. There was a gentle knock on the door, and then Hu Xuecong leaned in: " Director, the time is up, everyone is already waiting in the conference room. " Du Yan nodded. He knew that those ideas he had before were actually just vague impressions. To straighten them out, he needed to think carefully. And if those ideas were really feasible, then the person he was looking for would not be Zhao Xiaoyun. But it was Qiao Luowei. When Du Yan walked into the conference room, it was already full of people. When he saw him entering the conference room, there was a moment of silence. Du Yan walked around Chang Chang's conference table leisurely. Sitting next to him but very close to Shi Changgeng, Du Yan smiled at him. Du Yan had already guessed that Shi Changgeng could not really go far. He just didn't want to greet him like a superior with others. So he found an excuse and ran outside. As soon as he heard about the meeting, Shi Changgeng couldn't stay still. He knew what he had done during this period. Now seeing that Du Yan held a meeting as soon as he came back, Shi Changgeng couldn't stand it. Chang Geng naturally felt uneasy. Seeing the forced smile on Shi Chang Geng's face, Du Yan ignored him. After sitting down, Du Yan nodded to Peng Jun next to him. "Comrades, the meeting is now in session!" "Peng Jun cleared his throat and announced loudly, "First of all, let us welcome Director Du with applause once again for his successful return from his trip to Shanghai" Seeing Peng Jun's deliberately elevated tone, Shi Changgeng's face became more gloomy. He never expected that Du Yan would come back so soon. What's more important was the news he heard from Guo Songlin the day before. Du Yan's return this time was actually named by Cui Jianbin, the secretary of the municipal party committee. This made Shi Changgeng heartbroken. I was holding my breath indescribably. I never expected that I would have the opportunity to replace Du Yan, but he was inexplicably knocked back to his original form. What's even worse is that if Du Yan really wants to pursue the things he did these days, but It was really going to be bad. Shi Changgeng couldn't help but think about how to deal with Du Yan's counterattack, but Peng Jun, who was sitting next to him, didn't care about him. Hu Weiping, who was the host of the meeting, had just finished his announcement. Regarding the meeting schedule, Peng Jun had already launched an attack on Shi Changgeng. "Comrades, today is Director Du's first day back to preside over work. Let me briefly introduce the relevant situation in the past few days," Peng Jun glanced sideways. After looking at Shi Changgeng, he tapped on his notebook with the pen in his hand and said, "As promised, I will not be afraid of offending anyone today! " As soon as Peng Jun's words came out, the air in the conference room couldn't help but freeze! Many people couldn't help but look at Du Yan. In fact, in people's hearts, they had long regarded Peng Jun's pretentiousness as Du Yan's instigation. However, many people did not expect that on the first day after returning, Du Yan would hit Peng Jun on the head with a stick! Shi Changgeng looked at Peng Jun with a gloomy face. He and Peng Jun had both been together before. When the two men joined forces to deal with Du Yan, Shi Changgeng was happy to see Peng Jun's somewhat reckless energy, but he didn't expect that the situation had completely changed. Now it was him who had to face this reckless energy. ¡°Comrades, we know that the economic development of three towns and one place is a long-term plan made by Director Du based on the specific conditions of our three towns.??Everyone is also a participant in this plan. Because Director Du did not personally take charge of our new district, the development trend of the three towns and one place was not good. Now with the director personally taking charge, our situation is getting better and better. What? Peng Jun said loudly, and at the same time he did not forget to show a smile to Du Yan, but then his face darkened. "But I would like to ask some of the town cadres here today, are you really following Director Du's request?" Did you do it? Are you sabotaging the development of the master plan of three towns and one place just because of your own interests? " Peng Jun said, his eyes slowly passing over the face of Liuliji Secretary Lao Mei, who was sitting opposite with an uneasy look on his face. Seeing Lao Mei's evasive eyes, Peng Jun became more energetic. "Secretary Mei, you Liuliji Jiji casually negotiates with foreign businessmen about exporting clay. Have you reported to Director Du? " Hearing that Peng Jun had actually operated on him, Secretary Lao Mei, who was already in a trance, was even more uneasy. He squeezed his hands and couldn't help rubbing each other. When he raised his head and looked at Shi Changgeng sitting at the end of the table, he was surprised because When he met Shi Changgeng's eyes, he immediately looked away. "Secretary Lao Mei, do you have any specific situation there that you can tell me about?" Du Yan said lightly. Du Yan actually didn't have much hope for cadres like Lao Mei. He knew that. For these people, it doesn¡¯t matter who will be the director of the new district. They just do whatever the superiors arrange. ¡°As for the export of clay, has Liuliji already had a specific contract with Hong Kong businessmen? "Director Du, this matter, this matter" Lao Mei started to sweat a little on his forehead. After thinking for a long time, he still turned to Shi Changgeng as if asking for help. Shi Changgeng secretly sighed, he didn't expect that Old Mei Mei Hui is so irresponsible, but if you think about it carefully, you will understand that for Lao Mei, it is just someone's call. After Du Yan left, he was considered a new leader. Of course it was normal for Lao Mei to listen to him. Now Du Yan. After returning, it was natural for Lao Mei to turn to Du Yan again. "Director Du, I can explain the export of ceramics by Liuliji," Shi Changgeng knew that he had to come forward. If he didn't speak up on this matter, Lao Mei would definitely die. If he hates himself, those people next to him will only despise him even more. However, Shi Changgeng is not panicked because he has another trump card in his hand: "Hong Kong Development Company is a Hong Kong businessman introduced by the Municipal Commercial Committee. The leaders also attach great importance to it. It is said that this Hong Kong Development Company has a large ceramic manufacturing industry overseas. I think everyone knows that our plain porcelain is an old traditional craft, but it does not meet the needs of the current market. Why is that so? Can't we borrow chickens to lay eggs, or even directly export raw materials? This not only shortens our production cycle and makes more profits, but also helps overseas Chinese companies to connect with the mainland. In particular, it can open up more connections between Hong Kong businessmen and us in Taihua. This is what the leaders of the municipal party committee have repeatedly reiterated. , the reason why we are required to negotiate and communicate with Hong Kong Development Company is a good thing whether it is public or private or for us in Taihua Pingling. Secretary Peng, on the other hand, I think your ideas have failed to keep up with the trend of reform. You cannot see the bigger picture by just looking at our own piles. " Listening to Shi Changgeng's words with a gun and a stick, Peng Jun's face turned blue and white. What was worse was that Shi Changgeng's words about a municipal party committee leader made his heart beat. Du Yan listened silently Naturally, he knew that Shi Changgeng was trying to demonstrate to him, and the relationship between the Hong Kong Development Company and certain leaders of Taihua City became the key here. Du Yan habitually took out Zhao Xiaoyun from his pocket. The zippo lighter given to him before was played with carelessly in his hand. At the same time, he could not help but think about Shi Changgeng's words. Apart from Liu Zhi, the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, what exactly did Hong Kong Development Company have with the leaders in Taihua City. Du Yan was still unclear about this. Thinking of the current situation in Taihua City, Du Yan realized that the relationship might be more complicated. Shi Changgeng looked proudly at Peng Jun who was taking out a cigarette and puffing on it and said to himself. : People surnamed Peng, don¡¯t think that you don¡¯t know how much you weigh just by hugging Xiao Du¡¯s thick legs. This is what happens if you don¡¯t know the current affairs. With this thought in his mind, Shi Changgeng couldn¡¯t help but look at Du Yan sitting next to him. After a quick glance, he was slightly stunned. Du Yan had stopped playing with the lighter in his hand and looked at him with a smile. "Secretary Shi said it well. We should liberate our minds. I think we need to talk to him." If we have an in-depth exchange with Hong Kong Development Company, we may be able to find a new way of cooperation." Du Yan said casually and said to Hu Weiping, who was sitting a little further away, "Weiping, please make arrangements and find time to make an appointment with the representatives of Hong Kong Development Company to come to the district committee. , I will talk to them personally. " Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 47 Du Yan, you stinking hooligan! Shi Changgeng looked at Du Yan in astonishment. He never expected that Du Yan not only did not join Peng Jun in launching an attack on the people he interfered with in Liuliji, but he seemed to be quite satisfied with the matter. However, Shi Changgeng believed that this was definitely abnormal, but he was not sure where Du Yan was going to make a breakthrough. "Comrades, regarding the development of the new district, I would like to reiterate it here," Du Yan slowly put the lighter he was playing on the table and glanced at everyone in front of him. "Our purpose is that as long as we are committed to the construction of the new district If it is helpful, we will support and adopt it. On this point, I agree with Secretary Shi very much." Du Yan's words made the cadres in the conference room have strange looks on their faces. No one thought of Du. Yan actually praised Shi Changgeng so highly, and even the most inflexible person knew why Shi Changgeng was so proactive during the days when Du Yan was away. "I very much agree with Secretary Shi's way of broadening his mind. Of course, some specific methods may need to be considered in detail, but the general idea is worthy of recognition." Du Yan still said unhurriedly, He could feel the doubtful looks people cast on his face, two of them the most obvious. One is Peng Jun, and the other is Shi Changgeng himself. Even before walking out of the conference room, Shi Changgeng couldn't figure out what Du Yan was thinking. However, looking at Du Yan alone in the conference room, drinking tea silently with a cup, Shi Changgeng felt a vague sense of strangeness. In his opinion, this trip to Shanghai made Du Yan look even more unsettling. Incomprehensible. Du Yan looked at Peng Jun, who was sitting not far away, and saw Peng Jun smoking cigarettes one by one. Du Yan tapped the table with his fingers. "Director Du, Lao Shi is deliberately using the leaders of the municipal party committee to suppress people!" Peng Jun finally couldn't bear it anymore. He first blew out a smoke ring, then blinked his slightly sore eyes and said to Du Yan, "It's obvious that he is trying to suppress people." He was holding a chicken feather as an arrow, saying that the superior leaders attached great importance to the arrangement. I asked which tasks were not all said to be valued by the superior leaders, but which ones were not like that? " "Lao Peng, don't be emotional," Du Yan raised his hand slightly. Peng Jun cut off his words, "Secretary Shi did this for the development of the new district." "Him? I don't think he has such good intentions" Peng Jun muttered, then pulled his chair forward, leaned towards Du Yan and said, " Director, do you know, it is said that Lao Shi has really climbed to the top this time. The representative of the Hong Kong Development Company seems to have a very unusual relationship with Secretary-General Liu of the Municipal Party Committee. During this period, Lao Shi has been running around the Hong Kong boss all day long. Later, I even went to the city with him a few days ago. " Seeing Peng Jun's angry face, Du Yan just nodded slightly. He knew that there was nothing he could do about Peng Jun leaning on him like this. After Shi Changgeng gained a foothold, he began to attack Peng Jun. After several consecutive fights, Peng Jun was obviously at a disadvantage. In addition, Shi Changgeng was not only the leader of Daqing Township, but also the county magistrate Guo Songlin was behind his back. He supported him, thinking that Peng Jun's life would be very frustrating. "Secretary, I think there is something wrong with the current environment in the new district. Some people are dissatisfied with the good situation in the new district and want to stir up trouble." Peng Jun snorted and picked up a cigarette and lit it. "If nothing else, the former A few days ago, Lao Shi took down Xiao Peng from the seed station. " Seeing Du Yan looking towards him after hearing his words, Peng Jun straightened up immediately. "Director Du, I know you may think Xiao Peng is my nephew, so I protect him. I admit this, but director, the matter is not just that simple. " Seeing Du Yan's questioning look, Peng Jun stepped forward He moved his body and lowered his voice slightly and said: "Secretary, during this period, Lao Shi not only often went to see Lao Mei from Liuli Ji, but also ran to the Meridian Group when he had nothing to do. Everyone knows what Lao Shi wants to do. Director , It¡¯s essential to be on guard against others.¡± Du Yan raised his head and glanced at Peng Jun. Seeing Peng Jun looking at him eagerly, Du Yan nodded but said nothing. Peng Jun, who was full of worries, didn't even pay attention to Hu Xuecong who happened to push in the door and say hello to him when he went out because he had something on his mind. "Director, County Magistrate Guo called and wants to see you." Hu Xuecong said to Du Yan, who also stood up to leave the conference room. Du Yan immediately returned to his office, looked at the microphone on the table, and picked it up after a moment of hesitation: "Hello, County Magistrate Guo, I am Du Yan." "Xiao Du, you are really a You're so busy, you don't have time to stop by my place when you get back." Guo Songlin's voice sounded like he was talking about something commonplace on the phone, but Du Yan could tell from that tone that Guo Songlin thought of him. A hint of dissatisfaction. "I'm sorry, County Magistrate Guo, because it was too hasty. After all, the new district is under pressure."There are a lot of things going on, and because the circumstances of my return this time are a bit special, I thought about making a report to you after sorting out some issues. "Du Yan said unhurriedly. He knew that Guo Songlin didn't make this call just because of his attitude towards him. After all, he and he were not in the same circle from the beginning. We can maintain superficial unity. He had done his duty, and Guo Songlin was not someone who could not see clearly. As expected, Guo Songlin just made a haha ??and changed the subject: "Xiao Du, I have a situation to tell you. Because Governor Gao will come to inspect next month, the county decided to carry out special treatment and strict control on some areas where problems may arise. You also know that the personnel composition of your new district is relatively complex, especially when it involves some foreigners, so we need to pay more attention to this. After all, if an accident occurs, it will have a great impact on our Pingling, so I just talked to the county Director Liu of the bureau said hello and asked him to come to your place to take a look around and strengthen some measures in special management. But after all, the new district is your three-acre land, so Xiao Du, I will give it to you first. Say hello. " "Thank you for your concern, County Magistrate Guo, I will cooperate with Director Liu. " Du Yan answered cautiously. After a few casual words with Guo Songlin, he put down the phone and thoughts quickly began to change in his mind. Guo Songlin suddenly decided to let Liu Laofei enter in the name of strengthening control. New District, is there any inside story here? Thinking of Guo Songlin mentioning foreigners intentionally or unintentionally, Du Yan couldn't help but think of the Hong Kong Development Company. Since the establishment of the New District, there has actually not been much foreign investment. What's more, after integration, local resources are used to expand the market. This life experience made Du Yan clearly realize that in many cases, simply introducing foreign investment has become a means for local governments to demonstrate their political achievements. , with the emergence of economic development as the criterion for evaluating cadres, this kind of efforts purely for political performance eventually turned into a numbers game in many places, and even fake investment promotion occurred. So from the beginning of the establishment of the new district. From the beginning, more attention was paid to the development of internal enterprises and markets. Even when Liu Jiahui was the director, Du Yan had already set the structural tone for the development of the new district. Although Liu Jiahui was very thoughtful about bringing in more foreign capital, But we can only follow Du Yan¡¯s previous path. Therefore, although the new district has indeed introduced some capital injections from other places to adapt to local development, most of them still target the development of three towns and one place. Local enterprises, thinking about it this way, Guo Songling's previous words seemed a bit far-fetched. Du Yan secretly thought in his heart that he knew that Guo Songlin had always wanted to win over Liu Laofei, and Liu Laofei seemed to be waiting for a price. , although he is relatively close to Guo Songlin on the surface, he is not far away from Li Peizheng. Thinking about it now, it seems that Liu Laofei is willing to come to the new district and has some kind of deal with Guo Songlin. Yan was not afraid that Liu Laofei would cause trouble. Speaking of which, although he did not like Liu Laofei, and even deliberately kept a certain distance from him because he knew that this man would eventually be imprisoned in a few years, but now it seems that Liu Laofei Fei Ye just wanted to find a balance among the several county party committee leaders, and he had not done anything outrageous. But despite this, Du Yan was still worried. He picked up the phone and dialed Wang Lianyi's number. "Lian Yi, I'm Du Yan," Du Yan said calmly. Hearing Wang Lianyi on the other side of the phone respond with excitement, Du Yan couldn't help but smile. He remembered that Wang Lianyi was able to remain the same even when he was in the most difficult time. Standing on his side, no matter what his thoughts were, Du Yan would never forget this favor. "If you have time, come to my new district. Lao Shen opened another Little Carp House in the new district. The dishes are What you do is quite authentic, no worse than the carp houses in the county. Come here to support me? " "Okay, it is Lao Shen's blessing to be able to praise Lao Shen with Director Du. Wang Lianyi chuckled, and then he lowered his voice slightly and said, "Director Du, I have something to talk to you about. How about I go over this afternoon?" " "Okay, come on. "After Du Yan finished speaking, he put down the phone. He knew that what Wang Lianyi was talking about might be about Liu Laofei coming to the new district. Thinking of the reason why Cui Jianbin transferred him back, Du Yan suddenly felt that maybe this so-called special governance, maybe It was just for him. Wang Lianyi was very quick. He arrived at Daqing Township when it was dark. Du Yan smiled and walked up to shake hands with him. Let's have a good drink. Speaking of which, we haven't really gotten together since I came back. "Du Yan said with a smile to Wang Lianyi, who was slightly restrained. He knew that Wang Lianyi could not help him because of his current status.The young man has become a little alienated. Although this makes him helpless, it is also a fact. He can only try his best to gradually restore the previous relationship between the two with contact. "Director Du, of course you are very busy as a leader," Wang Lianyi said with a smile. When he saw Du Yan sitting in his car without saying anything, Wang Lianyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Speaking of which, since Du Yan came back, although Wang Lianyi had met him a few times, the number of private meetings had become less. With Du Yan's identity changing, Wang Lianyi could no longer talk and laugh as before when he saw Du Yan again. Laughing, Wang Lianyi felt a lot more comfortable now that he saw that Du Yan was still the same as before. What is rare for Shen Hefu this time is that he visited Daqing Township in the name of fairness. His wife had heard about it before and heard that he had raised a little one in Xiaoliyuju in Daqing Township. Firstly, they had been a couple for many years. Secondly, although Shen and Fu had someone outside, they still treated her and the child very well. Okay, so even though I cried a few times, I had no choice but to acquiesce. But after all, Shen Hefu felt a little guilty, and he had to be more secretive when he came to Daqing Township. But this time he came in the name of discussing business with Du Yan, so not only did he feel confident, but when he saw Du Yan and Wang Lianyi coming in, Old Shen When he was happy, he even cooked a few of the specialty dishes that made him famous in the first place. Seeing the beautiful proprietress of Xiaoliyuju, Wang Lianyi despised Shen Hefu. However, seeing that Du Yan didn't care, Wang Lianyi couldn't make too much fun of Shen Hefu. After a few glasses of wine, Shen Hefu, who saw that the two of them were going to have serious business, found an excuse to leave with his little lover. Then Hu Xuecong also found an excuse to leave the private room. Seeing that the door was tightly closed, Wang Lianyi looked slow. Slowly becoming serious. "Director Du, Lao Liu is here with bad intentions this time," Wang Lianyi said to Du Yan, "I heard that Lao Liu was called to County Magistrate Guo last night. When he held a meeting with all offices in the county this morning, he did not mention anything except a few words. In addition to talking about the security in the county, he kept mentioning the complexity of the people in the new district and possible accidents. He also repeatedly mentioned that the new district needs to be comprehensively managed before Governor Gao's inspection. "Has Director Ge of the police station reported to you?" Du Yan shook his head slightly. He had thought of Director Ge of the New District Police Station after receiving the call from Guo Songlin. Although he came back relatively suddenly and held a meeting as soon as he came back. meeting, but until Wang Lianyi's arrival, Director Ge from the New District Police Station not only did not show up, he did not even make a call to him. "I heard that the relationship between Lao Ge and Lao Liu in the New District Office is unusual," Wang Lianyi looked at Du Yan's expression and mentioned, "It seemed that Liu Jiahui had thought about replacing someone before when he was in the New District, but Lao Liu was the one to back him up. "Yes, it seems that Lao Liu attaches great importance to this chair in the new district office." "Lian Yi, how long have you been staying at the station?" Du Yan suddenly asked. Wang Lianyi's heart moved, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes, but he still tried to answer calmly: "Director Du, don't you know, it has been almost two years since I became the acting director of the director." "Two years is not a short time. "Du Yan smiled lightly and said that he and Wang Lianyi started their official careers at about the same time. When the two met, Wang Lianyi was already the deputy director of the police station, and he was just the county party secretary who had just taken office. secretary. However, huge changes have taken place in two years. Wang Lianyi became the director, while Du Yan was already a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. The new district director "Have you thought about making a move?" "Everything is at your discretion, director." Wang Lianyi tried his best to suppress his thoughts He was so excited. Ever since Du Yan publicly toasted him at the reception banquet, Wang Lianyi knew that he had stepped onto Du Yan's boat. Now that Du Yan said this, the meaning of his words was more or less clear. "Bureau Liu will officially serve as Secretary of the County Political and Legal Committee soon. It is understandable that there will be some relatively large governance activities at this time." Seeing Wang Lianyi's slightly helpless look, Du Yan continued, "I think this time the governance of the new district will be It is still necessary. Some things should be done early rather than late. The security of the new district does need to be paid attention to. If there is a problem, it may cause big trouble. " " But this time, Lao Liu did this just to confront the director. You're here. I heard people say that director, you came back this time to deal with the heavy machinery factory, so they started to find trouble as soon as you came back" "That's not what you said, my job is to That's the case, governance still needs to be governed," Du Yan interrupted Wang Lianyi. "I'm calling you here this time, Lianyi, not for anything else but to know your own thoughts, because as Director Liu serves as the County Political and Legal Committee Secretary, there may be some movement at the county bureau. I asked you to do your job and not do anything else for your own good. Do you understand?" "I know," Wang Lianyi nodded. Listen to your arrangements, director. " "When is Lao Liu going to come to the new district? "Du Yan asked. "About the past two days, judging from the work he distributed at the meeting, the main management objects should still be some relatively complex entertainment and public places that have recently begun to appear in the new district. However, it is a bit strange that he He also specifically mentioned investors from the new district with other backgrounds, which was a bit strange. Speaking of which, the county bureau had taken good care of investors who came to invest in the county in terms of policies. This time, Lao Liu was a little uncharacteristic. " Hearing what Wang Lianyi said, Du Yan smiled approvingly. Although Wang Lianyi was very grateful for his support, if Wang Lianyi's own abilities were limited, Du Yan could only help him to a certain extent. After all, Given the opportunity, whether a person can truly reach a higher position depends on his personal ability. Now seeing that Wang Lianyi has such a sensitive political sense, Du Yan feels a little relieved in his heart. Do your job well, and remember that you must work hard. " Du Yan nodded lightly. He believed that Wang Lianyi should be able to understand the meaning of his words. Wang Lianyi's face flashed with excitement. He knew that Du Yan was hinting that he might change his position in the near future. Although it sounded like After taking over Feng Yan, he knew that as long as Du Yan didn't fail, he would definitely be able to succeed with Director Du, but he never expected that this happiness would come so suddenly: "Don't worry, Director Du, I know what to do." . " Du Yan nodded and stopped talking about this topic. Some things can be left alone. As if he knew that the business in the room had been finished, Hu Xuecong "coincidentally" finished his work and walked in. After drinking for a while, Shen and Fu I also found some time to enter the private room, and several people exchanged glasses and drank to their heart's content. However, Wang Lianyi had to find a place to stay overnight in Daqing Township because he drank too much. Wang Lianyi, Du Yan, who originally asked Hu Xuecong to arrange for him to stay at the guest house in the new district, was moved. He walked to the front desk, picked up the phone, called the small hotel owned by Peng Jun's wife and booked a room, and then asked Hu Xuecong to send him some Wang Lianyi, whose feet were shaking, went over and said, "Tell Lao Peng's lover that this is Director Wang of the county, don't neglect him. "Du Yan ordered Hu Xuecong. He knew that Hu Xuecong should be able to understand the purpose of his arrangement. Sure enough, when he saw Hu Xuecong nodding his head intelligently, Du Yan couldn't help but smile slightly, "Xue Cong, do your best and don't let your dad down. " "I know Director Du. "Hu Xuecong whispered to Du Yan while helping Wang Lianyi out. Seeing Wang Lianyi and the others walking away, Du Yan glanced at Shen Hefu who was accompanying him: "Old Shen, you have something to say about what I told you during the day. Got an idea? " Hearing Du Yan's question, Shen Hefu seemed to think about it for a moment, and then nodded slightly vigorously: "I have thought about it, Director Du. If what you said comes true, it will not only be a problem in Pingling but also in Taihua. It's a great move, but what I'm worried about now is such a big piece of meat. Will it be our turn to eat it? " Shen Hefu said and raised his finger to the top of his head, with a meaningful look in his eyes. Looking at Shen Hefu's eyes, Du Yan couldn't help but admire Shen Hefu's ability to see things so clearly. For this self-made man, he will be able to work in Taihua in the future Du Yan has never looked down upon someone who occupies a decisive position. In Du Yan's mind, Shen Hefu has a more important position than many people in some places. He quickly accumulated a lot of attention from the beginning by relying on a set of policies to circumvent the situation. A veteran of capital operations who had raised initial capital and then quickly entered the expansion period, Du Yan always believed that the only thing he lacked was luck. After all, the reason why he suffered a complete failure was because he encountered a very tough background. Like Zeng Zhenping, Du Yan always believed that Shen Hefu was completely capable of defeating Zeng Zhenping if it was a fair competition. However, in this special domestic environment, relationship backing determines everything, so when Shen Hefu and Zeng Zhenping clashed head-on, they had already. "Old Shen, you don't have to worry about this. Although the county has not yet put the city reform plan on the agenda, it will only happen sooner or later. In addition, you should also understand that although you I have a good eye and have spotted the future benefits of the street behind Factory 307. However, if the area behind Factory 307 is not renovated, the back road in front of your front house will only be a small problem no matter how popular it is. " Seeing Shen Hefu's face darken after hearing what he said, Du Yan smiled secretly in his heart. He remembered clearly that in his previous life, the reason why Shen Hefu insisted on spending all his wealth to buy the wall on the back street of Factory 307 and rebuild it as a front house was I saw the future potential of the long-abandoned factory yard of Factory 307. It was only in my previous life that I had a unique vision.? They saw the huge potential contained in that area, but because they could not get in touch with the leaders in Pingling County at that time, Shen and Fu could only struggle to support it until the county included Factory 307. After the renovation project of the east district of the county, including the factory yard, was approved, his front house really showed its value, and he reaped some benefits while others had about the same amount of food. But it was also from that time that Shen Hefu and Zeng Zhenping became enemies because of the Pingling County reconstruction project, which also laid the foundation for his eventual defeat by Zeng Zhenping and his sad exit from Taihua. "Lao Shen, the urban reform plan you showed me during the day is indeed good, but there is a problem, have you discovered it? If that plan is followed, there will be a huge gap between the entire eastern district of the county and the Xicheng District where the county party committee and county government are now located. An old city cannot be moved. Over time, this place will become neglected." Du Yan gestured to Shen Hefu and asked him to accompany him out of Little Carp Residence, and walked forward along the road where the street lights were already lit. As he walked, he said, "Old Shen, your plan should be more long-term. I know you are planning this to highlight the location of your front house, but have you ever thought about whether this will cause a duplication of construction problems in the future?" " But Director Du, I am going to do this according to your idea," Shen Hefu shook his head helplessly, and at the same time a playful smile flashed in his eyes. "Besides, Director Du, according to my planning proposal, from project establishment to approval , the whole procedure will not be completed within a year, and Director Du may have been promoted to the city by then. " Hearing what Shen Hefu said, Du Yan couldn't help but shake his head secretly. He knew that Shen Hefu's words were certainly a little bit. The meaning of flattering was somewhat indicative of Shen Hefu's inner thoughts. It is obvious that Shen Hefu regards his enthusiasm for Xincheng urban reform as simply to gain political achievements, and Shen Hefu himself obviously wants to benefit from it while showing favor to Du Yan. The so-called combination of capital and power is actually that simple. Du Yan did not expect that Shen Hefu would understand the benefits of doing so so early. It is a pity that although Shen Hefu has a far-sighted vision than people of this era, the opponent he will face in the future is Zeng Zhenping, who is backed by the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. This is doomed to Shen Hefu's inevitable failure. "Old Shen, there are some things you may not understand yet," Du Yan said calmly, looking at Shen Hefu's shrewd faces, "Then when you go home, lie down on the bed with a raised pillow and think about it carefully. What should you do if you really want to help me?" Do it." After saying that, Du Yan raised his hand and patted Shen Hefu on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards his residence. Du Yan walked along the slightly dim street. The news brought by Wang Lianyi made him feel a little worried. Although Guo Songlin did not launch a surprise attack and directly sent Liu Laofei down to the new district, but gave him a greeting in advance, after all, this was already a fait accompli. More importantly, Wang Lianyi revealed the unusual behavior of Elder Ge from the New District Police Station. Ge, the elder of the New District Police Station, was transferred from the county after the establishment of the New District, but Du Yan had already left the New District by that time. Duyan was not familiar with Lao Ge. Although he knew that he was transferred from the county, he probably got a good job because he had a strong backer. However, Du Yan did not expect that Lao Ge would actually leave with Liu Laofei. He was so close, and he obviously didn't take him seriously as the director. Even after arranging a comprehensive management operation for the new district, he didn't come to talk to him. Du Yan couldn't help but think of Dou, the former elder of Daqing Township. Lao Dou failed to get the fat job of director of the new district. It was said that he had been in trouble for a long time because of this. Later, because of his relationship with Lao Ge, The relationship was really not going well, so he was transferred to Shuangdui to replace the old director there who was about to retire. This was somewhat of a disguised demotion. However, although Du Yan decided that it would be reassuring to have Lao Dou as the director, seriously speaking, Lao Dou was not a suitable candidate. In addition, although he already had an opinion about Lao Ge, he could not let Lao Ge move as he pleased. It¡¯s not easy either. After all, the public security system has its own system, but it¡¯s not easy for the local government to get involved. Thinking this in his mind, Du Yan had a slight headache. He didn't expect that he would encounter so many troublesome things as soon as he came back, especially when he thought that he would soon have to face the irresponsible person at the heavy machinery factory. Du Yan felt like his head was hurting because he was not allowed to sort out the mess. "What bad idea are you thinking of while rubbing your head?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded, and Du Yan looked into the darkness for a moment. From the dim shadow outside the house where Du Yan lived, a slender figure slowly walked out. When he walked into the light, the figure cast by that person happened to be reflected on Du Yan's chest. "Xiaoyun?" Du Yan looked at Zhao Xiaoyun who was standing opposite him in surprise, holding a document bag in his hand and deliberately keeping a certain distance from him. "What are you doing?"Got it? " "It depends on what you said, can't I come? Zhao Xiaoyun looked at Du Yan coldly, "Isn't it? Of course you don't need me anymore when you go home, so you get annoyed when you see me, right?" " Hearing what Zhao Xiaoyun said, Du Yan could only smile bitterly. He knew that if he was smart at this time, he must not quarrel with a woman, otherwise he would be the only one who would be unlucky in the end. "Xiaoyun, I really didn't expect that we were just born the day before yesterday Let's break up, right?" Du Yan said and walked towards Zhao Xiaoyun, but was immediately stopped by Zhao Xiaoyun's warning eyes. "You haven't eaten yet, come to my room to rest for a while, and I will take you out to eat something. " "I have eaten," Zhao Xiaoyun said coldly. Seeing the look in Du Yan's eyes, she turned her head slightly, "I ate at my brother's place. I came to see you for something." " "Go inside first, it's inconvenient to stand outside. "Du Yan opened the door with the key as he spoke, looked back at Zhao Xiaoyun who was following behind with his head lowered, smiled secretly, and walked into the house. Looking at the half-open door, Zhao Xiaoyun felt a little uneasy. She didn't know How could she be like this? Although she and Du Yan had had countless opportunities to be alone together, she would feel indescribably nervous every time. "Come in, what are you doing standing outside? " Du Yan leaned out half of his body in the room and urged, then turned and walked into the room. Seeing Du Yan's natural look, Zhao Xiaoyun couldn't help but curse himself for his random thoughts. "Maybe this bastard won't be so bad today. ? With this thought in mind, Zhao Xiaoyun opened the door and walked in. Then, as her eyes flashed, her body was hugged by Du Yan who was hiding next to the door! At the same time, Du Yan stretched his arms from her waist to her back. "You are crazy, let me go!" Let people see it! "Zhao Xiaoyun raised her hand angrily and put a little force on Du Yan's shoulder. Seeing the pained look on Du Yan's face, she couldn't help but feel weak and her hand lost strength, but then Du Yan used force on her waist again. He hugged her, and at the same time, the scolding that was about to come out of his mouth was completely blocked by a deep kiss. Du Yan¡¯s hands were tightly pressed together behind Zhao Xiaoyun¡¯s back, feeling Zhao Xiaoyun¡¯s strong struggle and tightness in his arms. The friction between the two people's bodies made Du Yan couldn't help but feel a ball of heat burning in his body, which made him involuntarily push his waist towards Zhao Xiaoyun's buttocks. Zhao Xiaoyun keenly felt the changes in Du Yan's body, because under his lower abdomen. At that strange touch, she instinctively moved her body to find out what was going on. When she quickly understood what it was, Zhao Xiaoyun first looked at Du Yan in shock, and then she couldn't help but hug Du Yan because of the passionate kiss. The hands on Du Yan's neck immediately pressed hard on both sides of Du Yan's shoulders. With a scream, Du Yan immediately let go of his hands and fell to the ground. Zhao Xiaoyun grabbed Du Yan who was about to fall to the ground. However, she stretched her arms straight and tried to keep the distance between the two of them. "You little gangster, it's a shame that I just came back from the car all night to see you," Zhao Xiaoyun stared at Du Yan with a red face. She didn't. Thinking that Du Yan was becoming more and more courageous, and thinking that this bastard kept hitting him with that bad thing, Zhao Xiaoyun had the urge to beat him up. "If my brother knows that you bully me like this, he will definitely not be able to forgive you." you! " Hearing Zhao Xiaoyun mention Zhao Youxun, Du Yan couldn't help but smile awkwardly. Speaking of which, he was still a little embarrassed about this brother-in-law. "Xiaoyun, are you in a hurry to come back? Seeing Zhao Xiaoyun take two steps back and pack his clothes angrily, Du Yan asked with a shy smile, "Did you miss me as soon as I left?" " Zhao Xiaoyun gave Du Yan an annoyed roll of his eyes, and then angrily bent down to pick up the document package that had been dropped on the ground when the two of them were entangled with each other: "In fact, as long as the investment promotion in Shencheng is on the right track, there will be people. Just keep an eye on it, Mr. Qiao asked me to come back. " "Mr. Qiao asked you to come to me? What's up? "Du Yan's expression became serious. He had never taken Qiao Luowei's arrangements lightly. Although Qiao Luowei was a woman, Du Yan knew that what she had behind her was actually the Song family, and there might even be other forces. This It can be seen from the seemingly not simple relationship between her and Liang Benchu, the Organization Minister of Hexi Province. Zhao Xiaoyun looked helplessly at Du Yan, who was "playing a rogue" to her a minute ago, but now became serious and opened the file. Bao took out a stack of documents from it. "This is a document that Mr. Qiao just got about the restructuring of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in the mainland issued by the State Planning Commission. She originally sent it to me and asked me to show it to you, but it just happened. You came back in a hurry. It was inconvenient for me to tell you over the phone, so I sent it directly. "After Zhao Xiaoyun finished speaking, he put the documents on the table and sat on the chair next to him. Look.Looking at Zhao Xiaoyun's slightly tired look, Du Yan felt a pity in his heart. He didn't expect that Zhao Xiaoyun would drive back from Shanghai all night for such a document. Thinking of her traveling a long distance for him, Du Yan couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. Apologize. "Xiaoyun, thank you for your hard work," Du Yan said, reaching out and gently holding Zhao Xiaoyun's face with both hands. However, he didn't mess around anymore. Instead, he gave her a rare stamp on her forehead, "I'm going to read the file. You go." Take a rest." Looking at Du Yan's face full of love, Zhao Xiaoyun's nose felt sore for no reason. She wanted to turn her head to the side, but Du Yan gently pulled her over and looked into Du Yan's eyes. After looking at each other for a while, she finally let out a soft cry. "Okay Xiaoyun, don't cry. When you look like this, people will think that I bullied you." Du Yan joked with a smile, but unexpectedly it seemed to touch Zhao Xiaoyun's sadness, and with a louder cry Crying, Zhao Xiaoyun simply lay on the table and cried non-stop. Du Yan could only stand aside and watch helplessly. He knew that it was useless to say anything at this time. Just when he felt a headache, Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly stopped crying and raised his head. Although her eyes were still a little red and there were still tears hanging on her face, Zhao Xiaoyun seemed to have calmed down. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her face gently, then stood up and walked to the basin stand next to her. I poured a ladle of water on my face and washed my face. Du Yan shook his head helplessly. He knew that the smartest way was not to speak. After watching Zhao Xiaoyun wash his face, he turned and sat aside, turning his head without looking at him. Du Yan picked up the documents on the table and started to read. Zhao Xiaoyun turned her head to one side and looked at a corner of the room, but after a while she couldn't help but turned her head slightly to look at Du Yan. Then she saw Du Yan's eyebrows frowning together, and there was a trace of Uncontrollable anger that will explode at any time! "Bang!" With a sound, Du Yan suddenly slammed the document in his hand on the table! The loudness of the sound made Zhao Xiaoyun stunned. Zhao Xiaoyun stood up unexpectedly. Although she knew that Qiao Luowei wanted her to show this document to Du Yan, and there must be some important reasons for it, she still didn't understand why Du Yan looked like this after reading the document. . "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this document?" Zhao Xiaoyun walked to Du Yan and asked softly. "Plunder, this is real plunder!" Du Yan said angrily. He felt an anger welling up in his heart, but he couldn't find a place to vent it. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Xiaoyun with a look that made him feel uneasy. She then grabbed the thermos bottle on the table and wanted to pour water, but found that the thermos bottle was empty. "I'm going to make water." Zhao Xiaoyun turned around and walked towards the kitchen. She didn't know why she felt vaguely afraid when she looked at Du Yan now. Du Yan, who had gradually calmed down, picked up the documents on the table again. This time he looked at them very carefully. As he reviewed them word by word, his frowning eyebrows slowly dispersed. When Zhao Xiaoyun came out of the kitchen When Lu came out, he saw Du Yan holding a document in one hand and reading softly, while in the other hand he kept playing with the zippo lighter she bought him. "Plunder, this is real plunder." Du Yan couldn't help but utter the words while reading, which caught Zhao Xiaoyun's attention. She walked to Du Yan and bent down slightly to look at the document with him. "Look at this little cloud," Du Yan's finger lightly scratched on the document. "In order to enrich the components of the socialist market economy, while maintaining public ownership and collective systems, we must vigorously support and promote large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in the mainland. Reform should support and encourage internal personnel to contribute to the development of enterprises in a difficult stage through ownership reform, and allow appropriate separation of unreasonable parts of the enterprise's asset composition when necessary to reduce resistance to the restructuring of enterprises. " After reading this, Du Yan's tone began to increase, "Look carefully at Xiaoyun, and allow appropriate measures to be taken to separate out the unreasonable parts of the company's asset composition when necessary." Du Yan's fingers moved slightly on that line. Paddling, while his breathing gradually became heavier. "Do you know what this sentence means?" Du Yan looked back at Zhao Xiaoyun and saw her hesitantly nodding. Du Yan sighed softly, "Just this sentence, how many national assets must have been swallowed up in vain. How many workers have lost their jobs? This is simply a crime" "Don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Xiaoyun's expression suddenly changed. She looked at Du Yan nervously, "Do you know whose name this document was issued in? ? Do you know what the consequences will be if your words are spread? " Du Yan nodded, he held Zhao Xiaoyun's face in front of him, then kissed her slightly hot lips and said softly, "I know, now. It's useless what I say, I can't fight them. They are not one person, but a whole group.If we go against them now, we will achieve nothing but shattering our bodies. " "Du Yan, don't scare me," Zhao Xiaoyun nervously pressed Du Yan's head tightly against his plump chest, "I support you in whatever you do, but don't do anything stupid, okay? Promise me not to do it. Stupid thing! " "I'm sorry, Xiaoyun, I'm really useless now," Du Yan sighed softly, "But even so, I can't just follow them, at least not in Pingling! " Du Yan left Zhao Xiaoyun's arms. He kissed Zhao Xiaoyun's lips tenderly, then picked up the document again and looked at it carefully. After a long time, Du Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his head to look Zhao Xiaoyun, who was looking at him with concern, smiled and said: "Xiaoyun, talk to your brother when you go back, I want him to do me a favor. " "What are you going to do? "Zhao Xiaoyun asked nervously. Although she knew that Du Yan would not be stupid enough to do anything stupid, but for some reason, she remembered that every time she saw his expression like this, a lot of things happened that made her uneasy. Zhao Xiaoyun couldn't help but feel a little nervous. "I want to borrow it from my uncle," Du Yan smiled slightly. Seeing the shy look on Zhao Xiaoyun's face after hearing what he said, Du Yan said at first. He was stunned and couldn't help laughing, "Xiaoyun, what are you thinking about? If I want to borrow it from you, do I need to tell your brother?" " "Du Yan! You stinking rascal! " Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 48 Whirlpool When Zhang Wenliang walked into Ren Shuqiang's office with a gloomy expression, he happened to see Zeng Jing, director of the Municipal Government Institutional Affairs Bureau, standing up from the chair opposite Ren Shuqiang's desk. Seeing Zhang Wenliang, Zeng Jing called "Secretary Zhang", then asked Ren Shuqiang for a few instructions and walked out of the office. When Zeng Jing passed by Zhang Wenliang, Zhang Wenliang smelled a faint fragrance coming from her body, which made Zhang Wenliang turn around slightly and glance at Zeng Jing's leaving figure. Zhang Wenliang had not thought twice about this beauty Zeng Jing when he was the executive deputy mayor, but after several attempts, Zeng Jing always ignored him, which made Zhang Wenliang very unhappy. But after hearing the news that there was some kind of ambiguous relationship between Zeng Jing and Ren Shuqiang, Zhang Wenliang finally chose to retreat. Zhang Wenliang didn¡¯t want the originally delicate relationship between him and Ren Shuqiang to become sour because of a woman. In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between him, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee who was originally the deputy mayor and the third-ranking leader in Taihua City, and the mayor Ren Shuqiang is still very good. There are even rumors in private that , there is a certain tacit understanding between Ren Shuqiang and Zhang Wenliang. That means that once Ren Shuqiang succeeds Cui Jianbin as municipal party secretary, Zhang Wenliang can sit on the mayor's throne. Such rumors are no longer a secret in Taihua. Even Cui Jianbin's secretary once revealed this rumor to Cui Jianbin. However, only the person involved, Zhang Wenliang, understood that Ren Shuqiang and him were not as cooperative as outsiders thought. joy. Even before he was parachuted to Taihua to serve as the executive deputy mayor, Zhang Wenliang had already heard of Ren Shuqiang's reputation for toughness. This made him still serve as the executive deputy mayor even though he had a background as the father-in-law of the Minister of Machinery Industry. Be cautious as mayor. Even after becoming deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Zhang Wenliang was very wise and did not easily offend Ren Shuqiang's authority. And on many occasions, he was quite smart and extended an olive branch to the powerful mayor Ren Shuqiang. Zhang Wenliang knew very well that although he relied on the background of his father-in-law and took advantage of the earthquake in the upper reaches of Hexi Province more than a year ago to become the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, after all, not only did he have a shallow foundation, but more importantly, although Cui Jianbin did not seem to have No matter what his ability, he is still the municipal party committee secretary. As for Cui Jianbin, behind him is Yang Weiming, the executive vice governor of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee. This man is said to be the youngest provincial governor in the country so far, and is also the most promising figure to reach the top in the future! And the backstage of Zhang Wenliang¡¯s father-in-law, Minister of Machinery Industry Sui Jianchao, is exactly Yang Weiquan¡¯s mortal enemy. He is known as the most outstanding figure in the Wang family who has always been at odds with the Yang family. Wang Bingchen is now the deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture! Although Cui Jianbin never took Zhang Wenliang's arrival seriously, even after he became the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and became the third in command of Taihua, Cui Jianbin never had any major conflicts with him, but Zhang Wenliang did Don't dare to take it lightly. Especially after the incident at Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory, although Cui Jianbin's actions could be said to be completely in defense of him as the leader of the municipal party committee, Zhang Wenliang always felt that there was something behind Cui Jianbin's seemingly dull face. Something that he couldn't say. This made Zhang Wenliang gradually become cautious from his initial contempt for Cui Jianbin, and his cooperation with Ren Shuqiang became more important. But what Zhang Wenliang didn't expect was that Ren Shuqiang would suddenly launch an attack on Cui Jianbin. When he heard that Geng Zhen had lost the evaluation report of the heavy machinery factory that was seized by Du Yan, Zhang Wenliang realized that this might become a An opportunity for Ren Shuqiang to attack Cui Jianbin. For Zhang Wenliang, he absolutely does not want any extraneous matters to arise at this time. After all, although this is indeed a good time to take down Cui Jianbin, there are too many things involved in the heavy machinery factory. If Cui Jianbin is forced to do so at this time, If it is too serious, it may not necessarily be a good thing for either party if things get serious. And just as Zhang Wenliang was careful, when he heard that Cui Jianbin actually transferred Du Yan back in order to break the predicament, Zhang Wenliang knew that things might really be in trouble! Because of this, Zhang Wenliang took the initiative to walk into Ren Shuqiang¡¯s office in the municipal government for the first time after being promoted to deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. "Mayor, I want to report to you about some situations at Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory," Zhang Wenliang squeezed out a smile on his originally slightly depressed face. He knew that facing a strong person like Ren Shuqiang, he could only lower his temper. Only the figure will do. Although he was unhappy, when thinking about the current situation, Zhang Wenliang could only force himself to lower his attitude, "I think Mayor, you have heard about some problems." "What situation is Secretary Zhang talking about?" Ren Shuqiang asked. Pick up the teacup?Blowed the leaves floating on the water gently, and then looked up at Zhang Wenliang. From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on Zhang Wenliang who relied on his wife's relationship, but he also knew that Zhang Wenliang had a strong backer behind him, and this was precisely What Ren Shuqiang lacks. Many people have always regarded Ren Shuqiang as a successor to Tongyang Municipal Party Committee Secretary Zhang Sheng. This is because when Zhang Sheng was the mayor of Tongyang, he transferred Ren Shuqiang from a county-level city below to Tongyang to serve as the secretary-general of the municipal government. . But in fact, Ren Shuqiang knew very well that the reason why Zhang Sheng promoted him was just because he owed a favor to an old leader who appreciated him in his early years. In Zhang Sheng's eyes, Ren Shuqiang could never be regarded as his person. The close relationship he had with him was not even as good as Qian Zhicheng, secretary of the Xiange District Party Committee of Tongyang City who had fallen before. Ren Shuqiang held the position of Secretary-General of Tongyang Municipal Government for six years, and it was not until three years ago that he finally seized the opportunity to be promoted to the mayor of Taihua City. Ren Shuqiang is very aware of his situation. Although in the eyes of outsiders, he can be said to be majestic and even seems to have suppressed the unimproved Cui Jianbin, but the so-called hundred-footed insect is dead but not stiff. Cui Jianbin is dignified after all. The municipal party committee secretary, and the backer behind him is also surprisingly strong. Will Zhang Sheng support him to succeed Cui Jianbin as Taihua Municipal Party Committee Secretary during the next election? Ren Shuqiang asked himself this question repeatedly more than once, but the result of careful consideration did not satisfy him. Zhang Sheng is naturally willing to see someone from his side become the secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, but if the resistance is too great or due to some reasons that cannot be ignored, Zhang Sheng may not really be willing to do so much for Ren Shuqiang. So when Zeng Jing revealed to him that she had the handle on Geng Zhen, Ren Shuqiang decided to make good use of this opportunity. But now it seems that doing so has aroused Zhang Wenliang¡¯s dissatisfaction. Ren Shuqiang knew Zhang Wenliang¡¯s background. Although outsiders could not see any clues, Ren Shuqiang knew very well that there was not only a huge conflict between Zhang Wenliang and Cui Jianbin, but it was not too much to say that they were fighting to the death. Looking at Zhang Wenliang's slightly depressed expression, Ren Shuqiang reached out and pointed at the tea just brought by the secretary on the table: "Old Zhang, this is often given by a friend. It's the first batch of spring tea this year. It tastes good. " Zhang Wenliang, who was about to speak, could only take a sip of tea. At the same time, he also took this opportunity to think for a moment before speaking: "Mayor, a very important evaluation report about the heavy machinery factory is missing. "You already know about this, right?" "I heard, Lao Zhang, what do you think about this matter?" Ren Shuqiang asked calmly. Seeing the calm look on Ren Shuqiang's face, Zhang Wenliang cursed in his heart. Although he didn't know that Ren Shuqiang had found Geng Zhen through Zeng Jing, he knew that Ren Shuqiang would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. Adding insult to injury to Cui Jiabin. Of course Zhang Wenliang was not worried about Cui Jianbin, but he was not at ease about the heavy machinery factory. Especially when he heard that Cui Jianbin had transferred Du Yan back, he even wanted to have a quarrel with Ren Shuqiang. impulse. "Secretary Cui transferred Du Yan back, did you know?" Zhang Wenliang decided not to talk in circles anymore, because he suddenly discovered that Ren Shuqiang did not seem to be enthusiastic about this matter, which made Zhang Wenliang begin to realize that something was wrong, because it meant Zhang Wenliang should have already used means to disadvantage Cui Jianbin, and it can be seen from Cui Jianbin's reaction that the struggle between the two men has obviously reached a fever pitch. At this time, Zhang Wenliang absolutely did not want the affairs of the Heavy Machinery Factory to be exposed due to the overt and covert fight between these two people. "Old Zhang, I know you have some objections to that Du Yan, but now it is a major matter that affects the entire heavy machinery factory, so it is understandable that Secretary Cui is doing this. Besides, if there is a problem, should it be investigated, Du Yan? He was involved in the heavy machinery factory matter early, and he is said to be relatively familiar with the situation, so it is understandable for him to join the investigation team. " Ren Shuqiang lit a cigarette as he spoke, and with the rising smoke, the table moved. The faces of the two people on both sides looked slightly blurred in each other's eyes. Seeing Ren Shuqiang's seemingly unconcerned look, Zhang Wenliang cursed secretly in his heart. He knew that Ren Shuqiang must have grasped something powerful in his hands, and that was why he seemed so leisurely and ready. "Mayor, I have a relative coming from the capital in a few days. If you have time, I can introduce it to you. How about we all get to know each other?" Zhang Wenliang finally played his last trump card and looked at Ren Shuqiang's face, which was still calm and calm. Seeing this, Zhang Wenliang had no choice but to put aside his desire to take control and continued, "It's not an outsider, it's my brother-in-law Guangyuan." "Is he Mr. Sui of the First Heavy Industry Group?" Ren Shuqiang said slowly.??Twisted the cigarette in the ashtray, looked at Zhang Wenliang and nodded slightly. He tapped his fingers on the table twice and nodded, "Okay, our Taihua is originally a city with an old industrial base. We can and Having a good relationship with a big brother company like Yizhong is good for the development of our Taihua. Let¡¯s do this, Lao Zhang. When Mr. Sui arrives, I will take care of him in the name of the city. ¡°That¡¯s not good, Guangyuan. We are just here to see our family. We all belong to our own family. How about the mayor bringing his sister-in-law and children to get together?" Zhang Wenliang had a smile on his face. He knew that he had played his cards right. , this can be seen from the change in Ren Shuqiang's attitude. "Okay, let's get together at Honglin Villa then." Ren Shuqiang's originally expressionless face also showed a slight smile. He knew that Zhang Wenliang was willing to introduce Sui Guangyuan to him, and he obviously took a fancy to him this time. He wanted to really deal with Cui Jianbin, so he wanted to take advantage of the troubled waters to gain some benefits, but he didn't want to make the matter a big deal. After all, Zhang Wenliang's attitude towards the restructuring of the heavy machinery factory was obviously very ambiguous. Thinking that his brother-in-law Sui Guangyuan is the vice president of the First Heavy Industry Group, and Zhang Wenliang's father-in-law Sui Jianchao is the minister of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, Ren Shuqiang is even sure that the Sui family must have someone involved in the restructuring of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory. Some inexplicable relationships. Seeing Zhang Wenliang stand up and say goodbye, Ren Shuqiang made an exception and sent him to the door. This made the secretary sitting outside a little strange. As far as he knew, there were really not many people in Taihua City who could let Mayor Ren send him to the door. of. But just as Zhang Wenliang turned around and left, the smile on Ren Shuqiang's face slowly disappeared. He returned to the room, picked up the phone and dialed, and said a few words. After a while, the door rang, and Zeng Jing walked away. Come in. "Mayor." Zeng Jing sat down in the chair opposite Ren Shuqiang's desk very seriously. Although there were many rumors about the two of them outside, Zeng Jing could always maintain a calm attitude when working. This is also One of the reasons why Ren Shuqiang likes her is because Zeng Jing is not that simple vase. "How are things going with Geng Zhen?" Ren Shuqiang asked. "Geng Zhen is still a little hesitant," Zeng Jing frowned slightly, "He seems to be worried that once we hand over the evidence, we will kick him aside, so now he is clinging to the evidence," Zeng Jing looked at He glanced at Ren Shuqiang, "Mayor, I have some doubts about whether Geng Zhen really has useful materials in his hand. After all, we have only heard what he said so far. What if" "You are worried that Geng Zhen wants to take the opportunity to raise the issue." Are you trying to raise your own value, or are you worried that he is just acting?" Ren Shuqiang asked and shook his head, "Geng Zhen is not that courageous. He knows what will happen to him if he lies to us. I am a little worried about Zhang Wenliang now. We will find Geng Zhen, otherwise things will not be easy to handle. " "What did Zhang Wenliang come for just now?" Zeng Jing asked softly, but she was not nervous when she saw Ren Shuqiang's gloomy eyes. She knew what she should and shouldn't ask, and she also knew that this was exactly what Ren Shuqiang liked about her. "Zhang Wenliang made a condition. He wants to introduce me to Sui Jianchao's son Sui Guangyuan." Ren Shuqiang leaned his head on the back of the chair. Zeng Jing stood up and walked behind him to gently rub his temples with her hands. "It seems that the Sui family wants to Let the heavy machinery factory matter be trivial. For this reason, they may even give up this good opportunity to attack Cui Jianbin. "Then what do you think we should do, promise them?" Zeng Jing put Ren Shuqiang's head on her own. While holding her chest, she gently pressed her forehead against the top of his head. This woman knew when to act diligent and capable, and when to show off her feminine charm. "It's not that light." Ren Shuqiang closed his eyes and enjoyed the tenderness the woman brought to him. "I, old Ren, can be the mayor of a city, so I can't just do whatever they say. Besides, this is the last time I can bring down Cui Jianbin." A good opportunity. Not only may there not be such a good opportunity in the future, there may also be a fork." "A fork?" Zeng Jing paused for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, "That's right. Ah, who would have thought that this place in Taihua is really being targeted, so it seems that when Governor Gao comes down this time, it might not be that simple. " "Of course it's not simple," Ren Shuqiang gestured to Zeng Jing. He stopped and sat back in the chair opposite him. "Governor Gao came down for inspection this time. It is very likely that he is going to make a big move. Some time ago, Secretary Zhang of Tongyang revealed a piece of news to me, that is, Governor Gao seemed to have renewed his interest in Chu Chu." Ping was interested in the inter-provincial railway project when he was secretary of the provincial party committee. This time Gao Ke came down and said that it might be related to this matter. " "Chu Ping?" Zeng Jing glanced at Ren Shuqiang with a thoughtful look. Chu Ping naturally thought of Chu Yilan, and according to her observation, Ren Shuqiang had some thoughts about Deputy Secretary-General Chu who was still waiting for him. "Don't mess up"I think," Ren Shuqiang glanced at Zeng Jing with slight dissatisfaction. Seeing that Zeng Jing's expression immediately became solemn, he smiled with satisfaction. As long as it didn't delay business, he didn't mind if a woman got a little jealous from time to time, and This actually illustrates his status in their minds. "Gao Ke had a very close relationship with Chu Ping in his early years. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is Chu Ping's disciple, but Chu Ping failed to take the next step in the end. This It's a bit troublesome for Gao Ke. I heard that apart from Chu Ping, Gao Ke didn't have any strong connections with the government. Now I think about it, Gao Ke is trying to make a comeback by relying on the inter-provincial railway plan that Chu Ping didn't start up. " "Then what should we do? Zeng Jing looked at Ren Shuqiang with a little worry, "Now it seems that both Gao Ke and the Sui family are eyeing Taihua. If you make a big move at this time, will there be any disadvantages?" " Hearing what Zeng Jing said, Ren Shuqiang nodded slightly. Although he had several women, the reason he liked Zeng Jing the most was because in addition to being able to satisfy his sexual desires, she was indeed a capable woman. Someone who helps him with suggestions and even practices. "Xiaojing, please contact Geng Zhen again and tell him that I want to meet with him. "Ren Shuqiang thought for a while and said in a deep voice. "You want to meet him directly. Is this convenient? Zeng Jing asked with some worry, "Although Cui Jianbin no longer trusts Geng Zhen, after all, they were on the same road. What if Geng Zhen wants to go back again" "Is it that easy for him to go back?" "Ren Shuqiang sneered, "Tell Zhenping to give Geng Zhen more pressure and let him understand that procrastinating like this will do him no good. If he really doesn't care about staying in prison for the rest of his life, then let Zhenping handle what he has. Submit it directly to the Discipline Inspection Commission. "Having said this, Ren Shuqiang slowly stood up, but suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Zeng Jing's high breasts and kneaded them. "Don't worry, little baby, Geng Zhen is smart. The young executive deputy county magistrate has a bright future. If he didn't want to sell it at a high price, he wouldn't dare to do it. ¡± As the power in Ren Shuqiang¡¯s hand grew stronger, Zeng Jing couldn¡¯t help but let out a suppressed groan, and her eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist. At this time, Zeng Jing was no longer the smart and capable person in front of outsiders. Du Yan, the director of the municipal government's Airport Management Bureau, stood in front of the two red doors and looked at the door number carefully. This was the temporary office location of the Heavy Machinery Factory Inspection Team. A small courtyard not far from the county party committee compound used to belong to the forestry department of the county agricultural committee, but now it is the office of the inspection team. When Du Yan walked into the courtyard, a middle-aged man in his forties immediately walked out of the concierge. When he came out, he looked Du Yan up and down, and then asked in a somewhat wary tone: "Who are you looking for? " "Is this the inspection team of the heavy machinery factory? " Du Yan asked. "Yes, who are you looking for? "The man's face still looked like he was on guard against class enemies, and at the same time he couldn't help but look behind Du Yan. "I'm here to report," Du Yan smiled and took out his work permit. When he saw the other party taking it, he opened it and looked at it. Without any intention of getting out of the way, Du Yan could not help but frown slightly, "I am Du Yan, the new district director of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee. I am looking for Director Zhu. " "Member of the County Party Committee Standing Committee? "The middle-aged man looked at the photo on his work permit in disbelief, then looked at Du Yan carefully, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face. "Comrade, can you tell me which room Director Zhu is in?" "Du Yan asked, taking back his work permit from the middle-aged man who still looked suspicious. "Oh, Director Zhu, he's in the east room. "The middle-aged man responded casually. Looking at Du Yan's back walking towards the east room of the yard, he shook his head slightly and muttered in a low voice, "This small county is really weird. There is a Maotou deputy county magistrate. Here comes a little district director of the Standing Committee. ¡± The leader of the inspection team of the Heavy Machinery Plant is Zhu Qinghao, deputy director of the Hexi Provincial Department of Industry. Before the inspection team was formally established, Du Yan already knew from Qiao Luowei that Zhu Qinghao was promoted by Executive Vice Governor Yang Weiquan , and what is noticeable is that, like Geng Zhen, Zhu Qinghao is a former cadre in Lachi. Zhu Qinghao is forty-nine years old, not tall, and looks younger than his actual age. After seeing Du Yan¡¯s work permit, he After he casually said a few words of welcome, his face slowly darkened. "Comrade Du Yan, I think you already know the reason why Comrade Geng Zhen was transferred from the verification team," Zhu Qinghao said in a low tone, "Seriously. Speaking of which, before the nature of the missing assessment report has been determined, the verification team should no longer accept the participation of officials from Pingling. " Du Yan nodded slightly. He knew that although he had been thrown cold water on him when he first arrived, seriously speaking, there was nothing wrong with what Zhu Qinghao said. It was just that Zhu Qinghao said this just to go through the motions or for another reason. It was not him. Can know??. Seeing Du Yan's respectful look, Zhu Qinghao's face slowly showed a trace of gentleness. "But Xiao Du, I've heard of you. You are the youngest deputy director-level cadre in Hexi Province so far, and you are also a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. Young people have a formidable future," Zhu Qinghao said, raising his hand and patting Du Yan gently. Arm "Also, I heard that you discovered some major problems that occurred during the restructuring of the Heavy Machinery Factory? That's good. It's rare for young people to stick to their principles, so this time Secretary Cui proposed that you replace Comrade Geng Zhen, the team leader After some research, I agreed. I hope you won¡¯t disappoint everyone, let alone Secretary Cui.¡± Hearing the last words, Du Yan¡¯s heart moved. He already knew that Cui Jianbin belonged to Yang Weiquan, and since the deputy director Zhu in front of him was mentioned by Yang Weiquan, of course his relationship with Yang Weiquan was also different. More importantly, according to Qiao Luowei, the restructuring of the heavy machine factory has obviously received higher-level attention. From Yang Weiquan's efforts to get Zhu Qinghao to come down, Zhang Wenliang, the representative of the Sui family in Taihua, has been trying to suppress this. Judging from the series of scenes, if I guessed correctly, the real two parties involved in the investigation surrounding the restructuring of the heavy machine factory may have gone beyond the level of Hexi Province, and may even have completely turned into the so-called man behind Yang Weiquan and the Sui family. The contest between Wang Bingchen, the third son of the Wang family, and the current deputy minister of agriculture! And behind these two people, there is a conflict between two or even several different huge interest groups! After thinking about this, Du Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He never thought that the restructuring of a small-scale enterprise in the mainland would become the trigger of a factional struggle. Now that he thought about it, no wonder Qiao Luo had When Wei heard that he was "assigned" to Shanghai by Cui Jianbin, he would say that leaving might not be a bad thing. ¡°This level of competition is indeed beyond most people¡¯s imagination. Even if you get even a little closer, you may be sucked into the huge whirlpool, and in the end there may not even be any scum left! But at exactly this time, he not only got involved, but was even placed in the center of the whirlpool. No wonder Qiao Luowei asked Zhao Xiaoyun to send him the document on the reform of state-owned enterprises in the mainland overnight. That should It is precisely because Qiao Luowei may face what kind of huge crisis after knowing that he has been transferred to Taihua. Thinking of this, Du Yan couldn't help but have a slight unspeakable thought in his heart. He still didn't know what kind of emotion Qiao Luowei felt towards him, and the almost evil entanglement between him and Zhao Xiaoyun. Differently, Qiao Luowei always kept aloof from him, and even whenever he dared to approach her, she would run away immediately. This sometimes makes Du Yan very troubled and even a little angry, but whenever he faces difficulties, Qiao Luowei's help will always appear suddenly by his side. Whether it is herself or through others, Du Yan always He could feel that the young woman who always had a hint of coldness seemed to be watching him silently from a distance. Volume 4 "Volume 3: The Official Sail" Chapter 49 Review Team Although the Heavy Machinery Factory Restructuring Verification Team is a temporary organization, it is not only high-level, but also fully staffed. In addition to Zhu Qinghao, deputy director of the Provincial Department of Industry as the team leader, there are also representatives from the Provincial Department of Finance and the Provincial Planning Commission. The two division chiefs serve as deputy team leaders. In addition, the Provincial Department of Industry, the Provincial Department of Finance, the Provincial Planning Commission, and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection each have two deputy division-level inspectors who participate in the work, plus other staff members. , there are also a family of more than 20 people. So although Du Yan's arrival was a bit sudden, it didn't attract much attention from others. Apart from his slightly abrupt youth, which made the provincial government officials think about him, there was nothing special about him. . What made Du Yan notice was that people didn't seem to care about the loss of the evaluation report, which was at least nominally important. Even when they heard that he was taking over Geng Zhen's job on behalf of the Pingling County Party Committee, people just said " Got it" look, but it didn't show any suspicion or concern about Pingling officials as Zhu Qinghao said before. This made Du Yan feel something vaguely. Reminiscing that he saw Geng Zhen and Zeng Zhenping sitting in a car before, Du Yan was sure that whether it was for Taihua or the province, the fate of the heavy machinery factory was fundamentally important. It's not in their minds, all those people think about is how to make a fuss out of this matter. After thinking about this, Du Yan felt helpless in his heart. When he heard that the province decided to send a verification team, although he knew that there might not be any good results in the end, he still held on to a glimmer of hope. But the current situation made Du Yan not only disappointed, but also angry. "Director Du, you people here in Pingling are really tough," a pretty young woman about 26 or 27 years old walked to Du Yan's desk and sat down, looking at him with a smile. He was full of curiosity, "We just arrived at the place that day. Somehow the workers of the heavy machinery factory knew about it, and then they immediately surrounded the yard. If your comrades from the county bureau hadn't arrived so quickly, they wouldn't have been able to figure out what was going on. "After hearing what the young woman said, Du Yan understood why the guard at the door was so nervous when he entered the hospital before. But thinking about the scene of workers from the heavy machinery factory blocking the door of the county party committee compound, he could understand this too. Why are the cadres who came from the provincial government so nervous? "The workers are all for the good of the Heavy Machinery Factory. Many old workers have been here since the factory was built. They came here with the Heavy Machinery Factory." Du Yan smiled. The young woman is a cadre of the Provincial Department of Finance. Her name is Bai Ou, just when he started to call her Sister Bai, Du Yan naturally thought of another female name in later generations that had a similar homophony to this title. Speaking of which, in that era when the Internet was popular, it was very popular for thousands of otakus. Said, but it is familiar and not unfamiliar. "Is the problem at Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory really serious?" Baiou lowered his voice slightly and asked Du Yan, "We heard that the problem was not small before we came down. These days, workers at the Heavy Machinery Factory are always sending representatives to ask for help. The verification team gave out the results immediately. I was really afraid of them. " "What, are there any workers from the heavy machinery factory participating in the verification team?" Du Yan frowned slightly, although he knew that in many cases, workers' representatives were involved in this kind of verification. It was just a show, but he didn't expect that the inspection team was not prepared to involve workers from the beginning. "What's the use of letting them in? Do they understand the accounts? Do they know how to calculate the property?" Bai Ou curled his lips slightly, and then looked at Du Yan curiously, "By the way, Director Du, I'm listening. As I said, you are the youngest county cadre in Hexi Province so far, and you have a bright future. " "Sister Bai, are you kidding me?" Du Yan lowered his head and packed the things on the table silently. Although the verification team was only temporarily formed, However, all kinds of office equipment are readily available, and there are even two special cars. However, in Du Yan's eyes, these turned into silent irony: "I'm just lucky. Speaking of which, it's still the provincial agency above you." There are dragons and crouching tigers hidden inside. " Du Yan said and glanced at Bai Ou. He was sure that this woman would never be as innocent as she looked on the outside. Even if not all of the people who could hang out in a big organization were human beings, they would definitely be. Not that stupid. Sure enough, Baiou paused for a while and then said again: "Director Du, although we have stayed in Pingling for some time, we don't know the specific situation very well after all. Let's see if we can go out together later. Let¡¯s have a meal. Director Miao wants to have a good understanding of the situation with you.¡± Hearing what Bai Ou said, Du Yan couldn¡¯t help but look up at her. He knew that the so-called Director Miao was one of the two deputy leaders of the verification team. Director Miao of the Provincial Department of Finance, but he did not expect that he would attract the attention of some people just after he reported for duty. What¡¯s more important is that Du Yan knows very well that although he is a deputy director, his rank seems to be high.He is half a level lower than Director Miao, but in terms of actual power and status, he cannot be compared with the Director of the Provincial Department of Finance. This is a bit strange. The director of the Provincial Department of Finance would specially send someone to invite himself, the deputy director of the county party committee, to dinner? It seems there is some truth in this. Du Yan was thinking this in his mind, but he readily nodded in agreement. Seeing that Du Yan accepted the invitation, Bai Ou smiled on her face. She chatted with Du Yan for a few more words and then returned to her table. Du Yan slowly packed up the things on the table. He originally thought that he would not be able to see too many things on the first day, but after Director Baiou invited him to dinner for Director Miao, he could see that this verification team not only did not It was as calm as I thought before, but there was some kind of faint undercurrent surging in it. The working hours of the investigation team are not fixed. Just after Du Yan packed up his things and got to know a few cadres, Bai Ou had already walked over with a middle-aged man with a Niushan Tongtong on his head. Du Yan knew that he was the one to verify. Deputy leader of the team, Director Miao of the Provincial Department of Finance. Director Miao looked very easy-going, unlike what local cadres thought of those officials in provincial agencies and bureaus with small positions and bad tempers. When he saw Du Yan standing up to greet him, he first smiled and then extended his hand. He held Du Yan's hand and shook it uncontrollably: "Director Du, I have long admired your name. We are the youngest county cadre in Hexi Province, the youngest member of the county committee standing committee, and the most promising new district director. I can't come." Listen. Director Miao's praise made several cadres who were sitting and chatting with Du Yan look surprised. Although they had also heard something about this young man, they did not expect that the people in the Provincial Department of Finance had Director Miao, who holds real power, also has such high regard for this young man. As a result, the eyes of the people next to Du Yan changed somewhat. Although those who can join this verification team must have a considerable background. After all, there is news that if this verification team satisfies the provincial leaders with its work this time, it is likely to develop into a permanent organization in the future. Therefore, because of this, these people They all squeezed in after a lot of competition. The people who may be so valued by Director Miao are obviously not just as simple as having strong backgrounds and strong backing. Looking at the smile on Director Miao's face, Du Yan shook his head secretly. Although he still didn't know what Director Miao's purpose was for doing this, he was sure that Director Miao's pretentiousness was not necessarily That's a good thing. ¡°In many cases, the gun does not so much shoot the birds that are ahead, but rather the birds that are pushed out. ¡°After Du Yan learned about Lao Miao¡¯s actions, he obviously became a much-discussed figure in the verification team. More importantly, it now seems that the people in this team are not just different departments. By coincidence, Director Miao naturally chose Liyuju. When they saw Du Yan walking into the foyer of Liyu Residence, Shen Hefu, who happened to be coming down from upstairs, was stunned for a moment. Then he saw Director Miao and his entourage walking in with Du Yan, and they immediately greeted him. "Director Du, how come you have time to come to my Carp House today?" Shen Hefu greeted with a smile. "Come over for a meal with some friends," Du Yan answered casually. "It seems that Director Du is a frequent visitor to Liyuju," Director Miao laughed, with a hint of relief on his face. He had heard some rumors about Du Yan before, and he was really worried about this young deputy director-level cadre. He is the kind of so-called passionate young man who is not clear-minded. Seeing this scene in front of him, he felt relieved. Seeing Du Yan admonishing Shen Hefu, Director Miao walked up and deliberately said in a friendly tone, "Director Du, we are here today." But we agreed, I will treat you to this meal as a courtesy to you, Director Du, for joining our inspection team." As he said this, Director Miao winked at Bai Ou who was following him, and pulled Du Yan into the building. in the private room. After a while, as the waiters served dishes one after another, and saw two bottles of Wuliangye brought in by Shen Hefu himself and a bottle of Qingguo Supreme Imperial Brew designed and packaged by Du Yan himself, Du Yan looked at Director Miao. His eyes became subtle. "Director Du, come on, let's have a drink first," Director Miao didn't care at all how Du Yan looked at him. After pouring a full glass for Du Yan, he raised his glass and signaled to Du Yan, "Here's to our best friend in Hexi Province." "Young deputy director-level county party committee leader." "Director Miao, you don't dare to take this position," Du Yan picked up the wine glass, but did not drink. He first glanced at the white gull next to him, and then said to Director Miao, "No matter what. Regardless of your rank or age, I should be the one to respect you. I really don¡¯t dare to accept your glass of wine.¡± Director Miao¡¯s hand holding the cup froze slightly in the air. He didn¡¯t expect this young man to be so difficult to serve. Just now. They were still chatting and laughing, but now they turned around and started talkingThere was a needle hidden in his vagina, and the smile on his face couldn't help but become a little stiff. Speaking of his dignified director of the Provincial Department of Finance, not to mention a county cadre, even some municipal leaders would greet him with a smile. Thinking of this, Director Miao was already secretly unhappy. Seeing that Du Yan was so dishonest, his face became slightly ugly. Bai Ou, who was sitting next to him, saw this scene and immediately raised the wine glass in his hand and shook it slightly towards the two people: "Director Du, what you said is wrong. When it comes to positions, I am the lowest here. Besides, I am a Woman, Director Du, you won't even drink the wine I propose." Seeing Bai Ou smooth things over, Director Miao's face became slightly more natural. He put the wine glass on the table and looked at Du Yan. When Du Yan slowly picked up the cup, Director Miao curled his lips secretly and cursed in his heart: "Why are you pretending to be aloof? You are not a guy who can be subdued by a woman with just a few words." Du Yan looked at Bai Ou holding up the wine glass. The way she looked at him seemed to be somewhat pitiful. Although he knew that she might not be pretending to be like this, but looking at the eager look of Director Miao next to him, Du Yan still slowly picked up the wine glass and sipped it gently. Take a bite. Watching Du Yan drink the wine she offered, Baiou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She secretly glanced at Director Miao, then secretly gritted her teeth, raised her glass, raised her head and drank the wine in her hand. "Okay, it seems that we, novices, still have face. Come on, let's not go back and forth like this. Let's feel free to do whatever we want." Director Miao laughed, as if the embarrassment just now didn't happen at all. After a few drinks, After drinking, he winked at Bai Ou while picking up some vegetables. Seeing Bai Ou find an excuse to go out, Du Yan knew that the real drama was about to begin tonight. "Director Du, I work in the province and you work in the county. It is a fate that we can sit here today," Director Miao gently fiddled with the wine glass in front of him. Seeing Du Yan nodding silently, Miao Chu Chang Hehe smiled and pulled the chair forward. "To be honest with you, brother, I have something else to say hello to your brother today besides picking up the wind for you." "Director Miao, if you have anything to say, just tell me." Du Yan He said with a smile, although he still didn't know what medicine Director Miao was selling, but Du Yan was sure that what he was about to say would not be simple. "It's like this. Before I came this time, the leaders of the provincial department specifically asked us to contact and communicate with local comrades in Pingling after we come down, especially the comrades who have made important contributions in protecting the national assets of the heavy machinery factory. If we communicate in depth," Director Miao took a mouthful of vegetables and chewed it slowly. At the same time, he secretly observed the expression on Du Yan's face. Seeing Du Yan's calm expression, Director Miao frowned secretly. Then he continued with a smile and said, "Your brother may not believe it. You are now famous. Even some leaders in the province have heard of your name. You are young and promising. You are young and promising." Director Miao said to him Du Yan raised his thumb slightly, and seeing that Du Yan still looked calm after hearing this, Director Miao stopped talking, but picked up the wine glass and drank his own drink with a smile. Du Yan also smiled and picked up the wine glass. He knew that Director Miao did not pull him out because he wanted to have a relationship with a certain provincial leader who appreciated him. After all, even if a certain provincial leader looked at him differently, as he said, For a high-ranking cadre like Director Miao, he actually doesn't care much. Seeing that Du Yan didn't seem to want to answer the question, Director Miao frowned secretly. He didn't expect this young boy to be so calm despite his youth. It seemed that he still wanted to speak first. "Director Du, let me tell you something." Director Miao's expression became slightly official. "As for the Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory, the relevant provincial leaders have certain instructions. In addition, Some of the situations before were relatively complicated and your local comrades were not clear about them, so some misunderstandings may have inevitably occurred. " "Director Miao, what situations are you talking about?" Du Yan looked at Director Miao calmly, "Can you tell me. Can you elaborate?" Seeing that Du Yan finally asked, the expression on Director Miao's face softened slightly: "Director Du, I think you also know that although our economic efficiency in Hexi Province has improved a lot in recent years, There is still a big gap compared with the coastal provinces, but many places that need to spend money are not less than other provinces. Especially when some special circumstances require funds, even the provincial government cannot come up with the money so quickly. The department also has difficulties as the provincial department. " Du Yan nodded silently. At this time, he had vaguely guessed the reason why Director Miao came to find him. Sure enough, Director Miao finally told the truth: "Director Du, the matter is actually very simple. Over the years, some of the profits turned over by the companies below have to be kept as emergency reserves. This is the same as the private land of the counties and cities below you. 's small treasurySimilarly, Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory has also made a certain contribution in this regard. We all know this kind of thing, but this time due to the restructuring and asset liquidation, some things are hard to explain, so I hope you, Director Du, can help me a lot. . "Director Miao said and showed a meaningful smile to Du Yan. "It is indeed the case, Du Yan thought to himself. In fact, he had vaguely guessed this possibility from the time Director Miao showed his unusual closeness. Now, Hearing him say it himself, Du Yan couldn't help but think about it. It can be said that the small treasury is an open secret of all levels of finance. From the enterprise itself to all levels of government, almost all departments will leave such a sum for themselves. Expenses, as Director Miao said, such a sum of money is often the most suitable source of funds for those who have special purposes and are difficult to reimburse. Although I don¡¯t know how many decrees have been issued to rectify small treasury, in fact This phenomenon that is unique to the domestic economy has always been prohibited. However, with the liquidation of assets, it is obvious that the Provincial Department of Finance¡¯s interception of funds from the heavy machinery factory may be exposed, although Du Yan believes that with the means of the Provincial Department of Finance, this matter will eventually be resolved. It will still be covered up, but I think people in the Provincial Department of Finance must have heard about the ups and downs behind the restructuring of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory. It is precisely because of this that Director Miao condescended to be with him. It's easy to discuss and bring this matter to the table. Du Yan thought to himself, but his face remained calm. He knew that it would be unwise to express any opinion at this time, and he had already vaguely guessed what the heavy machinery factory meant. The small treasury funds intercepted by the Provincial Department of Finance will never be as simple as Director Miao said on the surface. There may be something darker involved! "Director Miao, I am not sure about this now. Let me give you an answer. You also know that the matter at the Heavy Machinery Factory is in great turmoil. It is said that even leaders from the central government have intervened." Du Yan said to Director Miao with a smile and saw the look on Director Miao's face when he heard what he said. Du Yan didn't take it seriously. He guessed that Director Miao might have been involved in this matter, but it was Lao Miao who was trying to cover up this matter by pretending to be a messenger. Du Yan believed that he hadn't. How dare you, "Director Miao, why don't I report this matter to Secretary Li first? After all, this is not only related to a large enterprise, but also involves tens of thousands of workers and tens of thousands of family members in Pingling. Director Miao, what do you think of this matter?" I can't even bear it. "Hearing Du Yan's words, the scalp on Director Miao's bare forehead trembled slightly. Du Yan's words exactly hit his mind. Although withholding corporate profits is not a big deal to the dignified Provincial Department of Finance, But after all, everyone does this kind of thing. But once it falls on an individual, Director Miao knows that he can't bear the burden when he thinks about the terrifying amount. He looks at Du Yan looking like he's about to leave. , Director Miao stood up slowly. Although he was dissatisfied with Du Yan's obvious prevarication, he still tried his best to smile. As he said, he had indeed heard about this young man. More importantly, Director Miao could not figure out the details of this young man who had already served as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. It was not the habit of a veteran in officialdom to easily offend someone whom he did not know the details of. Of course, the director would not make such a mistake, so when the two people came out of the private room, Director Miao had already gotten rid of the secret dissatisfaction in his heart, and walked down to the second floor of Liyu Residence with Du Yan while talking and laughing. He went downstairs alone, and Bai Ou, who was sitting in the lobby downstairs boredly watching the carp swimming back and forth in the fish tank, immediately stood up. Her questioning eyes swept over Director Miao's face, but she spoke with Du Yan greeted Director Miao casually. Although Director Miao was quite enthusiastic, Du Yan never picked up Director Miao again until they broke up. However, he did not show any intention of refusing, which made Director Miao feel sad when he left. It was somewhat better. Standing at the door of Liyuju and looking at the two towering chimneys of the Heavy Machinery Factory in the distance, Du Yan sighed secretly in his heart. He knew that sooner or later, he would have to deal with the asset accounting of the Heavy Machinery Factory. Faced directly with these opponents, large and small, from all sides, although he knew that such an early collision would not be beneficial to him who did not yet have enough say, but when he thought of the eagerly awaited workers at the heavy machinery factory, Du Yan His heart couldn't be at peace. Seeing how late it was, Du Yan gave up the idea of ??going back to Liyuju to talk to Shen Hefu. Just when he turned around and was about to walk towards his home, two eye-catching car lights shone. A familiar Mitsubishi Pajero stopped suddenly in front of him. Seeing Zhao Xiaoyun's car, Du Yan's face instinctively showed a smile, but as soon as he took two steps forward, the door of the passenger seat of the Pajero suddenly opened, and a man appeared. The graceful figure in military uniform flashed out of the car. At the same time, the door of the back seat of the Pajero opened, and Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he saw it.?Appeared in front of him. "Brother Zhao" Looking at Zhao Youxun, Du Yan let out a slightly embarrassed smile, but then when he saw a young and strong soldier coming out of the car door in the direction of the driver's seat, Du Yan's eyes couldn't help but light up. . "Director Du!" Sun Xiaopeng neatly raised his hand and saluted Du Yan. "Xiaopeng!" Du Yan happily patted Sun Xiaopeng on the shoulder. "Okay, I've sent you the person you want." When shaking hands with Du Yan, Zhao Youxun said coldly, "You have to remember, Xiaopeng is the most powerful soldier under my command. You can "Don't treat him badly." "Don't worry, Brother Zhao, it would be great for me if Xiaopeng could come to help me." Du Yan and Zhao Youxun were talking, but they showed their faces to Zhao Xiaoyun who was always standing aside. A grateful yet ambiguous look. Because in front of Zhao Youxun, Zhao Xiaoyun could only roll his eyes at Du Yan. Looking at the back-and-forth between this younger sister and the boy in front of him, who he didn¡¯t like, Zhao Youxun could only sigh helplessly. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 50 On Officials Although he really wanted to stay with Zhao Xiaoyun for a while, seeing Zhao Youxun looking like he wanted to eat people, Du Yan still didn't have the courage to hook up with Zhao Xiaoyun in front of his uncle. " And Zhao Youxun didn't seem to want his sister and Du Yan to have too many opportunities to be together. After giving Sun Xiaopeng a few more words, Zhao Youxun winked at Zhao Xiaoyun, and then got into the car alone. "Be careful yourself." Zhao Xiaoyun whispered as she passed by Du Yan. Although she didn't know why Du Yan suddenly asked Zhao Youxun to borrow Sun Xiaopeng, Zhao Xiaoyun could feel that Du Yan seemed to be planning What. Looking at Pajero disappearing into the distance, Du Yan couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that Zhao Xiaoyun would help him get Sun Xiaopeng over so quickly. Thinking of the concern Zhao You showed when he told Sun Xiaopeng before leaving, Du Yan guessed that Zhao Youxun might hate him in his heart. "Xiaopeng, find a place to live first," Du Yan said gently, looking at Sun Xiaopeng who was also looking at Pajero in the distance, "I will talk to you later about your work arrangements." "Report to Director Du, The captain gave me an order before leaving, and I will obey Director Du's arrangements." Sun Xiaopeng said to Du Yan straightly, and then a naughty smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Director Du, the captain said that if I stay here with you. I'm sorry, I can still go back." After hearing Sun Xiaopeng's answer, which was obviously completely different from the previous one, Du Yan couldn't help but laugh softly. Speaking of which, from the first time he met Sun Xiaopeng, Du Yan had a good impression of this young soldier who was rigorous rather than astute, especially when he arrived in Tongyang after escaping from the Discipline Inspection Commission, and Sun Xiaopeng was ordered to protect his safety. In those days, Du Yan was quite fond of this clever young soldier. Unlike many soldiers who give people the impression of being dull and inflexible, Sun Xiaopeng is not only cautious but also clever and out of the ordinary. This has left a deep impression on Du Yan. Now he is smiling when he looks at this tough-headed young soldier. Standing in front of him, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of security in his heart. The news brought by Wang Lianyi made Du Yan aware of his situation. Just after he returned, Guo Songlin instructed Liu Laofei to carry out comprehensive management of the new district, and the ambiguous attitude of Ge, the elder of the new district police station, all made Du Yan aware of the problem. serious. Although the public security system has always been its own system and has its own set of jurisdictions, powerful departments are always in the hands of local leaders at all levels, which has long been a common practice in domestic official circles. "The inability to control the top leaders of powerful departments only proves the lack of control ability!" "However, Du Yan did not hesitate to ask Zhao Youxun for Sun Xiaopeng at this time. In addition to strengthening control over the new district police station in the future, there was also a more important reason at hand. Du Yan has always been a little worried about the inexplicable relationship between Geng Zhen and Ren Shuqiang. The arrival of Sun Xiaopeng gave him hope. According to Du Yan, Sun Xiaopeng was arranged by Wang Lianyi to work as a security guard at the West Market Police Station in the name of a retired soldier. As for the actual transfer procedures, Zhao Youxun had to handle it for him later. During this period, Zhao Youxun contacted Du Yan on the phone twice for the first time, and he was very concerned about Sun Xiaopeng's future. This also made Du Yan understand that Zhao Youxun really valued Sun Xiaopeng, and at the same time he could understand Zhao Xiaoyun better. It was so hard and not easy to snatch this precious lump from Zhao Youxun for him. Du Yan really wanted to thank Zhao Xiaoyun in his own way, but there was no news from Zhao Xiaoyun since the hurried meeting that day, which made Du Yan very helpless. Because the review team was only a temporary organization, Du Yan returned to the new district after reporting on the first day, but he still reported the matter raised by Director Miao to Li Peizheng. Listening to Du Yan's report, Peizheng silently lit a cigarette. His eyebrows were furrowed tightly. Li Peizheng coughed rapidly because of the vigorous smoking. "Secretary Li, you have to pay attention to your health." Du Yan looked at the obviously thin Li Peizheng and said with some worry. Although the relationship with Li Peizheng has never been the same as before, he could see that Li Peizheng became slightly anxious because of his anxiety. Despite his haggard look, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. In any case, it can be said that Li Peizheng benefited Du Yan a lot. Especially when he was framed and others were afraid of avoiding Du Yan, Li Peizheng was able to stand up and speak out. Du Yan treated Li Peizheng from the bottom of his heart. Grateful. It¡¯s just that Du Yan also knows that due to the limitations of his knowledge and vision, Li Peizheng has been branded as a cadre of this era after all. In the face of new affairs and many things, he can see huge benefits now, but in the future it will become irreparable. Loss of choice when ?Pei Zheng still cannot escape the shackles of the times. Just like now, Du Yan had clearly pointed out to him that if, as Director Miao said, the Provincial Department of Finance gave the green light to wipe out the withheld profits during the re-evaluation, it would put the heavy machinery factory in a bad situation in the future. When it got worse, Li Peizheng was still hesitant, even showing a hint of disbelief. "Xiao Du, I know you are very dissatisfied with this kind of behavior. In fact, from a personal point of view, I am also disgusted with this kind of thing." Li Peizheng wiped out the cigarette butt in his hand and gave a helpless smile, "But you also need to know that the Provincial Department of Finance What kind of department is it? It's the old government office that holds the entire money bag. Let alone our Pingling County, even the city won't dare to offend them easily. Otherwise, let alone seeking some support funds in the future, it will just be normal financial allocations. "Of course I know this, but Secretary Li, do you know that if this loophole is closed, once the heavy machinery factory undergoes a full-scale restructuring in the future, thousands of workers and their families will be harmed?" ," Du Yan explained helplessly, "Once these people lose their jobs, it will not only cause huge pressure on our Pingling, but may also cause serious social problems. This loss cannot be seen now, but it may even be terrible in the future." "Xiao Du. , You said it a little too much," Li Peizheng frowned slightly and glanced at Du Yan. Although the relationship between the two was no longer what it used to be, Li Peizheng still admired Du Yan very much, and because of this, he couldn't help hearing these words. A little worried for Du Yan, "I know your acumen for policies is very accurate, but you can't be too pessimistic. The restructuring is also to improve efficiency and speed up construction. How can the country let workers lose their jobs? Tell me what you said. Forget it, don't talk casually when you go out. It's not good for someone who cares to hear it." Du Yan nodded helplessly. He knew that Li Peizheng was trying to remind him of his old feelings, but what made him feel helpless in his heart was that Li Peizheng does not believe the hints he has given about the future. In fact, it is not just Li Peizheng. Although the restructuring has been carried out first in the three northern provinces, and the targets of the operations are first targeted at those workers who are least able to protect themselves before this wave, but even at this time, the vast majority of people still do not believe that the country will really It has caused a large number of workers to lose their jobs. Even those workers who are already facing unemployment always believe that being laid off is only temporary and will get better in the future. The hidden dangers of all these are still not visible at all. It will not be until a few years later, when huge interest groups have formed a climate and there is no need to cover up anymore, that ordinary people who have made huge sacrifices for the reform will truly understand what they have paid. Everything in exchange is just a feast for a few people to share the spoils. Thinking of this, Du Yan understood that he would obviously get no help from Li Peizheng. He stood up helplessly and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Li Peizheng softly. "Xiao Du, there is something I want to tell you," Li Peizheng said with a complicated look in his eyes. He still liked Du Yan very much, although the two of them had already drifted apart and their differences were getting bigger and bigger. , but speaking privately, this did not affect his personal love for Du Yan. "That little bastard in my family is Yiming. Didn't he go to the same school as your sister Du Fei? This kid didn't learn anything else when he went to college. , learn to be lovesick first. It seems that he is interested in your Du Fei. Xiao Du, look at this" Looking at Li Peizheng's helpless expression, Du Yan couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. He had heard about it. Li Yiming seemed to be quite interested in Du Fei, but Du Fei didn't seem to pay attention to Li Yiming at all. Now when Li Peizheng mentioned this matter, Du Yan pondered for a moment and then said with a smile: "I'll just let them do it." Go ahead, young people today are much more open-minded than when I was in school. If they think it's appropriate, let them do it. " "Xiao Du, you sound like you are an old man like me," Li Peizheng laughed. He smiled, "Don't forget that you are only twenty-five this year and haven't gotten married yet." At this point, Li Peizheng asked, "By the way, when are you going to get married? I heard that you and your girlfriend are in love." The time is not short. " Hearing Li Peizheng's mention, Du Yan couldn't help but flash the charming figure of Su Qian. Speaking of which, since he followed Du Yan's suggestion and went to Donghai City, although he has been in contact from time to time, he has not been in contact with her. Haven't seen you for a while. "Wait a minute, the work in the New District and the Heavy Machinery Factory are very busy now," Du Yan smiled helplessly, "My girlfriend has gone to Donghai City again, and she will probably stay there for a while. , so let¡¯s wait.¡± Li Peizheng nodded, and after the two chatted a few more words, Du Yan said goodbye and walked out of Li Peizheng¡¯s office. Although he is usually in the new district, Du Yan has an office in the county committee building. But because he often doesn't need it, he is not assigned a secretary, commonly known as a correspondent, in the county committee. Whenever he goes to the county committee, the county committee office??Someone was temporarily in charge of his side of the job. After saying goodbye to Li Peizheng, Du Yan walked towards his office. In the corridor, he happened to see Liu Laofei walking from the opposite side. The County Public Security Bureau has dispatched a special management team to work in the new district. According to Wang Lianyi, Ge, the elder of the new district police station, had a fierce fight with the management team as soon as he came up. He also complained intentionally or unintentionally in some public places that the new district now only focuses on economic development. , but ignore social security, and some cadres even act as a protective umbrella for evil forces, so that some opportunistic bad elements now dare to walk around in the new district. Of course Du Yan knew that Lao Ge was expressing his loyalty to Liu Laofei. After all, after nearly two years of rumors, it was certain that Liu Laofei would eventually take the position of Secretary of the County Political and Legal Committee. "Director Du, it's so difficult to meet you." Liu Laofang stretched out his two fat hands from a distance. The smile on his face looked very frank. People who don't know him often don't know what this person is like in his heart. What kind of thoughts do you have? "Director Liu, should I call you Secretary Liu next time we meet?" Du Yan chuckled. He didn't have the slightest fondness for Mr. Liu, and he didn't want to get too involved with this person, because he knew that Mr. Liu was Sooner or later, he will embark on the road of no return. Now he just needs to wait patiently. "Then I really need your blessing," Liu Laofei laughed, and lowered his voice slightly and said, "Director Du, I want to talk to you. This time the special management team went out and found some problems. What the team meant is Report the situation and let me suppress it. You can see if your new district can solve it yourself first. After all, we are all on our own, so there is no need to go through those formalities. " "I can't thank you enough, Bureau Liu. I've written down the favor." Du Yan also lowered his voice, while at the same time wondering what Liu Laofa was making. " Of course Du Yan didn't believe that Liu Laofei would kindly tip him off, so it was obvious that he had a purpose in doing so. Sure enough, after hearing what Du Yan said, a smile appeared in Mr. Liu's two little eyes squeezed together by his fat flesh: "What did Director Du say? Who among us is with whom? Besides, County Magistrate Guo treats you Du The director is also very concerned. Just for the sake of County Magistrate Guo, I, Old Liu, have to do this for you, right?" Du Yan nodded secretly. He knew that this was Liu Laofei's original intention. Think about what happened in the new district. Du Yan realized that Guo Songlin was somewhat unable to sit still. "Anyway, Director Liu, you have helped me. Let's just go to Carp House and have a good time together when we have time. But it's been a while since we had a good meal," Du Yan smiled and talked perfunctorily with Mr. Liu. . Watching Liu Laofei leave seemingly contentedly, Du Yan walked into his office, but before he could sit down, the phone on the table rang. Du Yan picked up the phone, and Ding Bingxian's indifferent voice came from the receiver: "Xiao Du, do you have time? Come over to your house in the evening. Hongwei is back too, and he is going to your house to find you." "Okay Ding. Secretary, I haven't seen Hongwei for a long time. What has he been busy with recently?" Du Yan replied. "It's not all nonsense," came Ding Bingxian's voice that seemed to be complaining but slightly proud of himself on the phone. "He has not been at home during this period. He said he was doing business with some friends outside. I don't care about him and let him go. Okay, let¡¯s make an agreement and I¡¯ll ask your aunt to make dumplings for you tonight.¡± Du Yan responded, and when the phone received a busy signal, he slowly put down the phone while thinking. "If Ding Bingxian was in Du Yan's mind a person who was indifferent to fame and wealth, and even ignored worldly affairs because he was disheartened, now he can no longer think so. After hearing about Ding Bingxian from Chu Yilan, Ding Bingxian's image in Du Yan's mind changed a lot. When he carefully thought about it, Du Yan suddenly discovered that in the memory of his previous life, Ding Bingxian When he got old, he ended up living in the world out of helplessness, so now Ding Bingxian is a completely different person. Perhaps it was Chu Ping's unwillingness to be lonely that gave Ding Bingxian the motivation to strive for something again, or maybe it was Gao Ke's decision to restart Chu Ping's inter-provincial railway plan that gave Ding Bingxian new hope. In short, the current Ding Bingxian is by no means as aloof from the world as many people see. On the contrary, in the increasingly complicated power struggle in Pingling, Ding Bingxian, who seems to have always stayed out of the fight, is indispensable in this struggle. An important missing link! Somehow, a strange thought suddenly flashed through Du Yan's mind. He thought about it for a moment and looked at the time, then picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number. After the phone rang a few times, it was connected. I heard the familiar voice coming from the phone.Du Yan couldn't help but feel an indescribable warmth in a corner of his heart. Because there was no sound, the other party asked again: "Hello, who is it?" "Qianqian, it's me." Du Yan said softly. "Du Yan," Su Qian's slightly unexpected voice of joy immediately came from the phone, "Why do you think of calling me now?" "I miss you," Du Yan smiled slightly, "How have you been during this time?" "No," Su Qian said with a hint of anger, and then said softly, "I just miss you. It's okay when I'm working here, but I miss you when I'm free." Listening to Su Qian's voice, Du Yan said. The softness that was touched in his heart slowly spread. When he decided to let Su Qian go to work in Donghai City, although he thought more about hoping that Su Qian could become his powerful assistant in the future, there were still some I hope she and Zhao Xiaoyun can be separated as much as possible. Du Yan could no longer tell which of the two girls he liked more. If he and Su Qian were already destined to be an inseparable whole due to the fate of two lives, then he and Zhao Xiaoyun were like two different people. A huge magnet that attracts infinitely. The power of attraction is so powerful that even in the face of such huge pressure as Zhao Youxun, whose hands and eyes can reach the sky, he cannot let him abandon Zhao Xiaoyun. Because of this, whenever he thinks of these things, Du Yan feels unspeakable guilt in his heart. The deeper the same guilt, the harder it is to let go of his love for these two girls. Listening to Su Qian talking about every detail after the breakup, Du Yan could hear a trace of exhaustion in Su Qian's tone, which made him finally couldn't help but whisper softly: "Qianqian, don't you feel a little tired? If you are really Come back when you're tired." There was silence on the phone, and then after a while, Su Qian's voice came: "I want to stay here, Du Yan, you know, it's only now that I realize what I don't understand. Too many. I want to see if I can do these things well. " "Don't force yourself too much," Du Yan said softly. He knew Su Qian's character, but this girl with a soft appearance had a good heart. A strong heart that no one else could imagine, just like in the memory of her previous life when she finally came together with him under great pressure, and once supported the burden of the entire family. He believed that once she was given a chance, with Su Qian's tenacity And smart, you will definitely not do worse than anyone else. Su Qian's soft "hmm" sound came from the phone. The sound seemed to have a sweet nasal sound, which made Du Yan couldn't help but think of the inexplicable excitement she made every time she made love under him. Moaning, this gave Du Yan an uncontrollable urge. Although he wanted to say more gentle words on the phone, Du Yan quickly restrained his anger. He lowered his voice slightly and said to Su Qian on the other side of the phone: "Qianqian, please do something for me. Remember not to attract anyone's attention." "What's the matter?" Su Qian's energy seemed to pick up. Since following Du Yan's arrangement and arriving in Donghai City, she has indeed learned a lot that she has never encountered before and never thought of. However, Su Qian always felt that compared with being with Du Yan, those new and exciting things seemed boring. Now hearing Du Yan¡¯s solemn voice, Su Qian realized that Du Yan¡¯s request to leave him and come to Donghai City finally started to work. "Please help me check if there is any business connection between Huachang's company in Donghai and Ding Hongwei's company?" Du Yan ordered in a low voice. "Ding Hongwei? Do you want to investigate him?" Su Qian asked somewhat unexpectedly. In Su Qian's mind, the friendship between Du Yan and Ding Hongwei should be the kind of enviable besties, but now Du Yan wants her to help While investigating Ding Hongwei, Su Qian was both surprised and a little uneasy. "Du Yan, what happened? Is there any misunderstanding between you and Hongwei? You are good friends." "Qianqian, don't be nervous," Du Yan Comforting Su Qian, "I just want to clarify some things. The situation here in Pingling is a bit complicated now. I need to know more about the situation, so you don't have to worry." "Du Yan, why don't you come to Donghai too," Su Qian He hesitated and said, "I'm still surprised now. I don't know how you could guess so accurately that a new thing like securities trading would definitely develop. You asked me to be a small-amount securities financial agent here before. Even Mr. Qiao was not very optimistic about it. But after the stock exchange was officially listed, the firm's business suddenly boomed. Du Yan, since you have talent in this area, why not let's do this together instead of that? Official." Listening to Su Qian's slightly melancholy voice, Du Yan sighed softly. He had previously decided to let Su Qian go to Donghai City to pursue her career, focusing on securities trading, a field that was completely unfamiliar to most people in this era. And his entry point was unexpected by others. He did not let Su Qian rely on stock trading.Instead of seeking to get rich overnight, they focused on the securities agency business, which no one had paid attention to at this time, but which has unlimited potential in the future. When he suggested to Qiao Luowei that the Song family should tilt their capital to the financial market at the appropriate time, he had actually already thought of this seemingly inconspicuous market, but it had huge potential. In this era, for the vast majority of corporate employees and government workers who have to buy original stocks because of dividends, those colorful stock securities are no more valuable than a scrap newspaper. Because of this, many people don't care about the handle. transfer the shares to others. And it is the manipulators who decide these financial policies who take advantage of people's ignorance and use various means to make huge fortunes. So when Su Qian took the stock money Du Yan received from Qiao Luowei and her own savings to Donghai City, and began to register a small securities agency in the name of a subsidiary of Huachang according to Du Yan's arrangement, Qiao Luowei Wei was also quite confused about Du Yan's decision. Although he had known for a long time that Du Yan seemed to have some unusual foresight, even Qiao Luowei thought that Du Yan seemed to have made some mistakes this time. After all, with the huge wealth owned by the Song family and the capital market they influence behind it, It seems that this kind of small securities agency is not only a small business, but also loses more than it loses in terms of efficiency. However, what happened just a few months later made Qiao Luowei begin to change his previous thoughts. Although the business of Su Qian's office was still insignificant and inconspicuous to the Huachang branch in Donghai City, But through Zhao Xiaoyun, who was always paying attention to Du Yan and had inexplicable emotions towards Su Qian, Qiao Luowei gradually felt the true meaning of Du Yan's arrangement. In fact, if Su Qian¡¯s mother Gu Weifen knew her daughter¡¯s current net worth, her first reaction might be to meet her on the spot. "Qianqian, there are some things that we cannot decide by ourselves," Du Yan sighed softly while listening to Su Qian's slightly plaintive voice on the phone. Because he knows the future direction of the country better than anyone else, he understands the so-called wealth better. And the status and true significance of capital in this country, at least in the country, no matter whether it comes from a legitimate source or not, any pure wealth is always like a castle built on floating sand, and its only destiny can only be to become a powerful person. A delicious dish when needed, and all he had to do was never let that happen to him. At the same time, if possible, he hopes that he can change this situation one day. "Maybe one day we will have to do this, but before that I still want to continue walking. Qianqian, will you support me?" "You know I will definitely support it. You," Su Qian said softly in the receiver, and then she said, "Okay, you wait for my call." "By the way, Qianqian," Du Yan reminded me, "You buy it over there in the East China Sea. Give me a pager. Tell me your number later so we can contact you more easily. " "That thing is so expensive, it costs several thousand." Su Qian said hesitantly, even though the first trading market in the country was now open for business. , the office's business has undergone tremendous changes in just a few months, but when it comes to the staggering price of the pager, she still can't help but feel reluctant to part with it. "My dear Miss Su, you are now worth a fortune, why are you still reluctant to part with that little money?" Du Yan was a little amused. "Maybe in the future, if I am really fired from my official position, I will have to rely on you to support me." "Then I would like you to be dismissed from office now, and then go to Donghai to replace me. I will cook and wash clothes for you at home." Su Qian said with a little anticipation. "How can you expect your man to lose his official position? If you still cook and wash clothes, do you also need to take care of the children?" Du Yan chuckled, and then suddenly felt warm in his heart and whispered, "Qianqian, I love you. "I love you too, Du Yan," Su Qian replied softly, "I only love you." When she put down the phone, thinking about Su Qian's last words, Du Yan felt even deeper. He knew that Su Qian should be aware of the ambiguous relationship between him and Zhao Xiaoyun, but Su Qian chose to ignore it in the end. The reason for doing so was just because she loved Du Yan. But this kind of love seemed to put an invisible heavy stone on Du Yan's heart. Even just thinking about it was an unbearable burden. He never dared to explore how much harm the unusual relationship between him and Han Bing had caused Su Qian in his previous life. And after reviving his life, he accidentally staged an emotional entanglement with Zhao Xiaoyun that both parties couldn't let go of. "I have never been a good man" Du Yan sighed softly in his heart. No matter in his past life or in this life, Du Yan found that he owed Su Qian too much. When he got off work in the afternoon, Du Yan called home and said:After going home to eat, Du Yan couldn't help but smile when his mother complained on the phone that she was alone at home again. Since Du Zhenhai was elected as a representative by the workers, he has been busy all day long working with everyone to make suggestions for the heavy machinery factory. Some workers who had been persuaded to quit or were sent home with half their wages and were unemployed also came back to participate in the discussion. Du Zhenhai has become a very busy man amid calls for the restructuring of the heavy machinery factory. It is said that in recent days he has actively organized with some prestigious old workers to come up with ideas for some poor workers' families. Help them find jobs that can support their families. This reminded Du Yan of those re-employment training centers in later generations. However, because such re-employment centers were established by the government, although they did alleviate and help some unemployed workers, they were still unable to get rid of the stereotypes accumulated over the years by government departments. Bad habits and low efficiency. In some places, reemployment centers have simply become deaf ears. Du Yan was thinking about this all the way. When he arrived at Ding Bingxian's house, he happened to see a Bluebird car parked at the door of Ding Bingxian's yard. The appearance of the Blue Bird car obviously attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors. Although they all knew that Secretary Ding's son was said to be doing business in the south, they saw Ding Hongwei getting out of the car, and a young girl dressed in a fashionable and pretty manner. At this time, people's eyes still became a little weird. "Oh, it's so rare, Director Du!" Ding Hongwei shouted exaggeratedly from far away. Then before Du Yan had time to answer, he walked up a few steps and suddenly hugged Du. Yan raised his head fiercely, "You kid, you still remember to come to our house!" Under the surprised gazes of the people around him, Ding Hongwei, who had finally had enough trouble, let go of Du Yan, but he still held his shoulders and shook him: "I asked you, what's the matter with you? Now that you have become a leader, you are really out of touch with the masses? You said where is that Du Yan who went to see beautiful women on Tongyang Street when we were in school? Look at what you are like now Dressed up, he almost looks like a little old man. " Listening to Ding Hongwei talking nonsense, Du Yan could only smile bitterly. Du Yan has always had deep feelings for Ding Hongwei, and although because they have taken different paths, they can no longer hang out with Ding Hongwei all day long as before, but looking at Ding Hongwei's sincere smile, Du Yan still felt warm in his heart. This reminded him of what he heard someone say at the reception banquet when he took office, Tu Xiangdong said: "What if you are an official? If you don't even dare to recognize your friends, then this official is too useless." Some." Thinking of this, Du Yan couldn't help but smile with relief. He looked at the girl standing behind who was looking at him with curious eyes, and then asked in a low voice: "What, your girlfriend is here with you?" "Haha ," Ding Hongwei's expression suddenly became a little silly. He looked back at the girl and whispered, "We've known each other for a while, and we got along pretty well, so I brought her back to my parents to meet her. " Du Yan nodded after hearing this. , he knew that if it was just for fun, Ding Hongwei would definitely not have the guts to take the girl home, but now it seems that he really has something on his mind. "Xiao Yao, come to meet Du Yan, who I have often mentioned to you before, my good friend." Ding Hongwei put his arms around Du Yan's shoulders and introduced, "I can tell you, even though he is as old as me this year, he is already He is a deputy director-level cadre and a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee." After saying that, Ding Hongwei let go of Du Yan, walked to the girl's side, gently took her hand, and said to Du Yan with a smile: "Lu Yao, my girlfriend is now at Tongyang TV Station. How beautiful is it to be a trainee anchor?" The girl showed a polite smile to Du Yan, maybe because she had seen many big scenes on the provincial capital TV station. Although she looked at Du Yan with curiosity, she didn't show any signs of it. Too many differences. Looking at this young girl named Lu Yao, Du Yan felt that his heart was beating violently for a while! Because he didn¡¯t look carefully before, he didn¡¯t recognize the girl, and maybe because it was so old, the appearance of the person in front of him had become blurry. But when Ding Hongwei introduced her as a trainee host at the provincial TV station, and then heard that her name was Lu Yan, the memories that had been buried for many years suddenly came to Du Yan's mind again. "Hello, I have heard of your name for a long time. Hongwei mentions you almost every day." Lu Yao smiled and stretched out her hand, although she felt that the expression of the young man in front of her, who looked to be in his early twenties at most, seemed a little too serious. , but I felt relieved when I thought that maybe it was because of my status that I had to act more solemnly. "Hello Miss Lu," Du Yan stretched out his hand and shook Lu Yao's hand. He had controlled his emotions at this time. Although seeing Lu Yao reminded him of the painful memories in his memory, he still Try to make yourselfHe smiled and said, "I don't think he said anything good about me." "Look, you are thinking, little one," Ding Hongwei curled his lips, "I have always said good things about you. If you don't believe me, ask my Xiaoyao." " "Don't talk nonsense," Lu Yao blushed slightly at first, and then explained to Du Yan slightly uneasily, "Director Du, don't worry, Hongwei is just like this, he is dishonest. " "Ms. Lu, when it comes to this. I may know better than you." Du Yan smiled and just answered, but he was already pulled by Ding Hongwei and walked towards the yard: "Come into the room and say, stand here to show me." He took one step forward and walked into the courtyard gate, then he was stunned. Under the flower stand in the courtyard, Ding Bingxian was sitting on a long stone stool, holding a tea cup in his hand and drinking tea silently. "Dad, I'm back." Ding Hongwei rarely became honest. He stood in front of Ding Bingxian and secretly looked at the expression on Ding Bingxian's face. At the same time, he reached behind and waved to Lu Yao, "Dad, this is Lu Yao, this is me. Girlfriend." "Hello, Uncle Ding," Lu Yao said softly, although she tried to be polite and generous. "Okay," Ding Bingxian put down his tea cup and stood up. He looked at his son who was standing there in a rare and orderly manner, and then at Lu Yao who was standing next to him. A smile appeared on his indifferent face. "Okay, your mother." Knowing that you are going home to buy groceries, I also asked Xiao Du to come over and let us all get together. " "That's great. Dad, you were thoughtful. I also said that I might not have a chance to see Du Yan. "Yeah." Ding Hongwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the relationship between father and son was usually casual, seeing that his father seemed satisfied with his girlfriend, Ding Hongwei felt relieved. Hearing what Ding Hongwei said, Ding Bingxian passed by his son and looked back at Du Yan, who was sorting out his clothes that had been messed up by Ding Hongwei's hug. "Wei Hongwei, please take Xiao Lu to the room to tidy up first, and I will have a few words with Du Yan." Ding Bingxian said. Ding Hongli, who wanted to run away from me immediately, ignored Du Yan, picked up Lu Yao and ran towards the house. Looking at their backs, Ding Bingxian smiled softly, and then looked back at Du Yan. "Xiao Du, I asked you to come here today because I had something to tell you, but I didn't expect that this boy Hongwei would suddenly bring a girlfriend back without saying a word." Ding Bingxian shook his head and smiled helplessly, and then his expression straightened. "Let me make a long story short. You probably know that Hongwei has been doing business in the past two years, but there are some situations that I didn't tell you. I didn't think it was necessary before, but now it seems that I need to make it clear to you." Du Yan nodded silently. Head, he had already guessed what Ding Bingxian was going to say to him, which made him feel relieved after being slightly surprised. Now that he knew the relationship between Chu Ping and Ding Bingxian, and thought that the success of Ding Hongwei's business in the past two years was related to the Song family, how could Ding Bingxian not think that he could connect all this? With Ding Bingxian¡¯s character of always planning before acting, he should have guessed that Du Yan was aware of the relationship. Even if Du Yan hasn't thought about it yet, if you think about it carefully, Ding Bingxian confessing all this to him can be said to be a gesture. "Xiao Du, Hongwei is different from you. He is too straightforward and too reckless to pursue an official career." Ding Bingxian made a cup of tea for Du Yan. "Actually, I don't care whether he makes a fortune in business or not. As long as he has a good life, it seems that I am quite satisfied with this child. The only thing that worries me is that this child does not know how to restrain himself." Ding Bingxian looked at Du Yan and saw Du Yan nodded slightly. He was a little helpless. Sighing: "Secretary Chu was very ambitious at the beginning, but everyone has seen the final result. I was in the Provincial Planning Commission at that time, and I was considered a hardcore supporter of Secretary Chu's inter-provincial railway planning. Of course, I was unlucky along with it, but I didn¡¯t expect that things would change. With the help of Pei Zheng, I would have a chance to make a comeback, but now it¡¯s Governor Gao who will take over Secretary Chu¡¯s job to complete the inter-provincial railway plan. " Speaking of this, Ding Bingxian picked up the cup and took a sip. , and then said calmly: "But Governor Gao is not Secretary Chu after all." Hearing this, Du Yan's heart moved, and he knew that Ding Bingxian was secretly reminding him. Gao Ke can inherit Chu Ping's power in Hexi Province, and can also fulfill Chu Ping's original ambition that was not realized, but Gao Ke and Chu Ping are two people. Gao Ke has his own political ideals and ambitions. He cannot completely follow Chu Ping's path. What's more, Gao Ke, who is now promoting the inter-provincial railway plan, is very ambitious and even has the ambition to become the secretary of the provincial party committee. But when Chu Ping proposed this plan, there were very few people who responded to it. In the end, even Ding Bingxian, who worked hard for him and waved the flag, couldn't keep it! Seeing Du Yan silently sipping the slightly cold tea, DingDing Bingxian gently put it on for him. Looking at the leaf stems that kept spinning in the cup, Ding Bingxian said: "This life is like drinking tea. Everyone knows whether the water is warm or cold. Xiao Du, I advised you not to mix things up." The reason for the political struggle in Pingling is that as long as you do a good job in your new district, no matter what happens, it will be your own resounding political achievement, and no one else can take it away or rely on it. But it is different now, whether it is a new district or Pingling. Even Taihua has been involved in too many things, and it is impossible to stay alone. What should I do in this case? " Du Yan raised his head and looked at Ding Bingxian. If he had doubts about Ding Bingxian's attitude before, Now judging from his decision to publicly acknowledge Ding Hongwei's business dealings with the Song family, it is clear that Ding Bingxian has decided not to hold back. This made Du Yan couldn't help but recall the time when he was not Li Peizheng's secretary, and Ding Bingxian reminded him of time in person from time to time. "Xiao Du, you are different from Hongwei." Ding Bingxian suddenly showed a strange smile, "I really didn't see that you were very talented in your official career before. You are very accurate in many things. Although this time Secretary Cui gave You have encountered a big problem, but I believe you will be able to find a way to overcome this obstacle. You seem to be born to be an official. " "Uncle Ding, are you praising me or hurting me?" Du Yan smiled bitterly, "You don't know my current situation?" "Of course I know you are in a dilemma now," Ding Bingxian stood up and walked slowly under the flower stand. After a while, he stopped and walked up and down as if he didn't recognize him. He looked at Du Yan, then shook his head slightly, "Xiao Du, do you know what is your biggest problem in the eyes of others and what makes people most worried about you?" "What is it, Uncle Ding?" Du Yan asked curiously, he I haven't thought about this. "It's not about your age. Although everyone says you are the youngest deputy director-level cadre in the province, in fact there are people your age and this level in the provincial department. It's just that others are not as conspicuous as you," Ding Bingxian Looking at Du Yan seriously, he said word by word, "So what makes you uneasy is not that you are young, but that you are too clean." Du Yan was stunned at first, and then nodded with understanding. "I think I understand, Uncle Ding." Volume 4 "Volume 3: The Official Sailing" Chapter 51 A Chance Encounter by the River Although Lu Yao was born in a provincial capital and had seen a lot of people in the world because of her work, it was her first time to visit Ding Hongwei's house. Although Ding Hongwei repeatedly told her that her family was very easy-going, she still couldn't help but look Somewhat reserved. Seeing Lu Yao following Ding Hongwei out of the house, Ding Bingxian stopped talking to Du Yan. He waved the two of them to him. After looking at his son up and down for a while, Ding Bingxian smiled slightly. "Xiao Lu, I don't know what you see in Hongwei, but let me tell you in advance that my son is not a good person." Ding Bingxian's words made Lu Yao a little stunned. She could never think of such a son. The leader of the county party committee actually said such words to his son's girlfriend who came to visit him for the first time. Although Du Yan next to him had something on his mind, he couldn't help but laugh softly after hearing Ding Bingxian's words. "Dad, why do you say that? Aren't you destroying me?" Ding Hongwei shouted to me angrily, "Who doesn't say that their son is so good? How come you have changed?" Ding Bingxian's face He still looked indifferent, as if what he said before was not what he said, but then his face slowly became serious: "Weiwei, I say this because you brought your girlfriend home. In this case, I will say a few more words." Sentence, Xiao Lu, Hongwei is relatively frivolous, so I have long said that he is not suitable for government work, but I know my own son. Although he is sometimes naughty, he is a loyal and sensible person. Today I As a father, you can boast that Hongwei will not treat you badly in the future." Lu Yao's face showed a faint blush. She turned slightly and looked at Ding Hongwei, who immediately smiled and smiled at her father. Nod lightly. Du Yan, who was standing nearby, listened silently. He knew that Ding Bingxian's words were actually meant more for him. With many years of friendship and past lives, he certainly knows Ding Hongwei's character. He believes that even if Ding Hongwei does business with the Song family, there shouldn't be anything else involved, and this is probably the case. Ding Bingxian's arrangement. Ding Bingxian did this, firstly, in response to Chu Ping's move to establish a relationship with the Song family, and secondly, probably to leave an escape route for Ding Hongwei. Thinking of this, Du Yan's heart moved slightly. Although Ding Bingxian returned to work as the deputy secretary of the county party committee, in the past two years, he rarely expressed his voice, and was even ignored for a time. In the eyes of outsiders, Ding Bingxian seemed to do more than hold his hand every day. That huge teacup had done almost nothing practical except wandering around the county party committee compound. Some people even said that Ding Bingxian had completely copied the way he had been dawdling at Pingling Communications to the county party committee. Despite Du Yan's understanding of Ding Bingxian, he still didn't believe that Ding Bingxian would really spend his future career in a daze. Now seeing Ding Bingxian's slightly relieved look when he praised Ding Hongwei, Du Yan A thought couldn't help but flash through his mind. Could it be that Ding Bingxian has decided to take action? On the way home, Du Yan kept thinking about this idea, which even made him feel a little less concerned about the chance encounter with Lu Yao that brought back the memories of his past life that had been buried for many years. Thinking of Lu Yao, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness in his heart. He still remembered that on that night that he would never forget, when he heard Han Bing defend his dignity in such a fierce way, it was through TV that he He saw the figure of Lu Yao, who was already a famous news host in Taihua at that time, but the full-screen commentary and the shaking camera could not alleviate the huge pain in his heart. Not long after, when he and because of that When Lu Yao finally met Lu Yao, who was following a report on a terrible incident, he was unable to answer the various questions raised by the female journalist. "Han Bing." Du's heart still couldn't stand up and he whispered the name in his heart. Han Bing should still be in school now. She is still just an innocent little girl who acts like a spoiled child in her mother's arms. But many years later, Han Bing Bing, however, was a peerless beauty who could confuse all living beings, and even made him, who was already middle-aged at that time, unable to help but be deeply fascinated by her. Du Yan, who was worried about seeing Lu Yao, felt agitated for no reason. Although he had already told himself that he should not and was not qualified to interfere with Han Bing's life after being reborn. But he also told himself in his heart that the tragedy that happened to Han Bing would never happen again in this life! ¡°The only way to prevent that tragedy is to eradicate the cancer of Zeng Zhenping as soon as possible, and if we want to eradicate Zeng Zhenping, we will undoubtedly have to face the mountain of Ren Shuqiang. Du Yan knew in his heart that it was impossible to deal with Mayor Ren Shuqiang with his current strength, but maybe it was because the current situation in Hexi Province was different from what he knew in his previous life. Although Ren Shuqiang was very strong now, he was not able to Kill Cui Jianbin as he rememberedPress down. Even in some places, Cui Jianbin still has considerable counterattack power. It was just a heavy machinery factory evaluation report incident that made Cui Jianbin extremely passive. If it was normal, he might be able to barely parry it, but this happened on the eve of Governor Gao Ke's inspection in Taihua. Whether it was as a Cui Jianbin, the municipal party committee secretary and the leader who named Geng Zhen to join the review team, undoubtedly became very passive. Du Yan pondered as he walked along the bank of the Xiaoqing River in his direction. At this time, although the banks of the Xiaoqing River had not yet built embankment parks for people to play and relax like in later generations, they were already frequented by young lovers. This is a great place, especially in late April when the spring flowers are blooming. Along the way, you can see vaguely dancing figures in the trees on the shore. Seeing this scene, Du Yan couldn't help but feel relieved. This reminded him of many interesting things that had happened on this embankment. Speaking of which, in recent years, this place has not only become a favorite place for lovers. Paradise has even become the holy land of some wild mandarin ducks' secret societies. It was once the source of wealth for the local police station's joint defense team. Just as he was thinking about this, a low hum and noisy sound came from the grass not far away. Just when Du Yan was thinking that the couple's actions were too intense, suddenly on the path along the river in the distance A few flashes of flashlight flashed, and at the same time there was a rush of footsteps running towards this side. The people who were making out in the bushes were obviously frightened. As the figures flashed, pairs of disheveled men and women ran out in a panic. In the bushes that had just made a noise not far in front of Du Yan, two people A young man and woman also rushed out in panic and ran towards Du Yan's direction. After the two people ran over, they met Du Yan face to face. When they saw Du Yan, they couldn't help but exclaimed "Ah" at the same time. Looking at the two people in front of him, Du Yan also said with some surprise: "Xiao Chu?" Seeing that Du Yan had recognized her, Xiao Chu's originally red face suddenly turned white. collar, twisting his body and burying his head completely behind the man next to him. "Director Du" The man's face was also ugly. He looked at Du Yan uneasily, and then turned back to look in fear at the joint defense team chasing after him from a distance. By this time, Du Yan had recognized that this man was the young man who had argued with Lao Yu for Xiao Chu at the reception banquet when he took office. "Put your clothes in order." Du Yan scolded in a low voice, while taking out a document from his briefcase and stuffing it into the young man's hand. "You guys stop!" A joint defense team member from a distance ran over while sweeping his flashlight back and forth like a machine gun. "Watch where you are running!" "What are you doing?" Du Yanxiang had just been interrupted. He seemed to be looking at the joint defender, and when he saw Sun Xiaopeng among the people running over, he smiled. "Director Du?" Sun Xiaopeng, who was following him, called out in confusion. When he saw the leading joint defense team member looking at him in confusion, Sun Xiaopeng lowered his voice and said to him, "It's Director Du from the new district." The leader of the joint defense team was stunned at first. , and then something sounded and he opened his mouth slightly. Although he came late, he had heard that the relationship between director Wang Lianyi and Director Du in the new district was definitely unusual. Especially since Director Du was the leader of the county party committee, it was absolutely important to them. He is a towering figure. "Hello, Director Du. My surname is Chang. I am the captain of the joint defense team of the West Market Police Station. I am patrolling here." The little boss explained uneasily. When he saw the document in Du Yan's hand, he had an idea. "It's dark, not here." I'm really sorry to see you guys working here, Director Du." The little boss simply made an excuse for Du Yan, although based on his experience, he had already seen that the two men and women next to him were more than just arrested. It was true, but now he simply pretended not to see anything. "It turns out they are comrades from the West Market Market. It's really hard for you to come out on patrol so late at night," Du Yan said while suppressing a smile. Of course he knew that these joint defense members had obviously come to the river to catch wild mandarin ducks in the name of patrolling. Income generated "A few of our colleagues are talking about some work. Look" "We'll leave right away so we won't disturb Director Du's work." The little boss responded immediately. "Let the other comrades go back first, Lao Chang, let's talk." Du Yan said. Hearing what Du Yan said, the joint defense captain couldn't help but show a hint of excitement on his face. He had known for a long time that the relationship between Director Wang and Director Du was unusual, and there were also rumors in the institute that Director Wang might be promoted. The collision made Director Du take a fancy to me. Then in the future, Director Wang would really be promoted, and maybe I would have hope. Thinking of this, the joint defense captain immediately turned around and told Sun Xiaopeng: "Xiao Sun, please take everyone back to the base first. I'll?I heard that Director Du has work arrangements. " Seeing the captain arranging work for Sun Xiaopeng in front of him, Du Yan felt happy. Speaking of which, this kid was not stupid. When he saw that Sun Xiaopeng knew him, he first established a relationship with Sun Xiaopeng no matter what the reason was. Logically speaking, Sun Xiaopeng He had only been in the joint defense team for a few days, so how could he be qualified to lead the team? Looking at the others walking away, Du Yan asked the joint defense team member named Chang: "Old Chang, does Director Wang know that you are coming out this time? " Hearing Du Yan's question, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Lao Chang's forehead. Although he had never been in the officialdom, his many years of being at the bottom made him understand that it was difficult to answer this question. " Saying that you know is tantamount to It was to sell Wang Lianyi. Although he had known that Director Du and Director Wang had a close relationship, Director Du would not use this matter to beat Director Wang, but if Wang Lianyi knew that he had sold him in front of the leader, then He will definitely not get any good results. But if he says he doesn¡¯t know, it is definitely not a good thing. Just the name of acting without permission is enough for him to lose his job. By this time, Lao Chang already knew that Director Du was aware of this. I'm beating myself up. If someone hears about this today, I will probably be the first to be unlucky. But after all, everyone else has also seen this. This person is a talker, not to mention how can he cover up this kind of nonsense? , Lao Chang showed Du Yan a bitter smile that was uglier than crying. "Lao Chang, I also know that you are in trouble. Let's do this. I will ask your director Wang to arrange your work later, as well as your joint defense team. It has been too hard recently. I asked you, Director Wang, to write a report and submit it to the new district. Everyone's conditions should be improved. "Du Yan said to Lao Chang with a smile. Lao Chang looked at Du Yan with some surprise. He did not expect that Du Yan not only did not continue to push himself, but also offered to improve the conditions for the joint defense team, although he knew that this was actually similar to hush money. , but at least Director Du told him clearly what to do. "Don't worry, Director Du, our West Market Joint Defense Team will work hard with your concern," Lao Chang quickly expressed his position, and at the same time did not forget to add, "Also. Never cause trouble to the leader. "Seeing that this old man was so knowledgeable about current affairs, Du Yan smiled and nodded. Of course he knew that it was not easy to shut up so many mouths, but these people probably didn't know Xiao Chu. As for himself, he believed that Wang Lianyi and Sun Xiaopeng had something to do with each other. It wasn't until Lao Chang walked away that the two people who had been standing beside him in panic came over. Xiao Chu kept his head down because of shyness, while the young cadre's face turned red and he could only look at Du Yan with gratitude. "Director Du, thank you, thank you" Seeing the grateful expression on the face of this young man about his own age, Du Yan couldn't help but laugh softly, "Be more careful in the future and be careful outside. You might not be so lucky. "Du Yan warned, and after saying that, he glanced at Xiao Chu, who kept his head behind the young man. He felt that there was no need to stay any longer, so he took the document that had been used as a cover up from the young man's hand and put it into the official document. "Director Du," the young cadre suddenly called out. At the same time, he pulled Xiao Chu from behind to the front as if he had made up his mind, and whispered, "Director Du, we have a situation to report to you. . " Du Yan slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Chu, who was looking at him uneasily. Xiao Chu seemed to have something to say to him in the county committee building on the first day he came back, but Du Yan didn't. The reason for answering her words was that firstly, he didn't understand the situation, and secondly, in a place with many people, his slightest move might be used by some people. After that, Xiaochu never showed up again. , and according to what Du Yan learned from the review team, after the evaluation report was lost, the investigation team once talked to Xiao Chu, and Xiao Chu insisted that the report had indeed been handed over to Geng Zhen. The strange thing is, Geng Zhen. Zhen did not deny it, but insisted that the report was indeed lost due to his mistake. This was also the reason why Cui Jianbin became suspicious of Geng Zhen. Originally, Du Yan no longer had any hope of finding a breakthrough from Xiao Chu, but who could. I didn't expect that this unexpected scene tonight seemed to change things again. "Director Du, you may not know me yet," the young man immediately saw the unfamiliar look in Du Yan's eyes. He introduced himself, "I am the director of the second room of the county party committee office, and my name is Zhang Weimin. " Du Yan nodded. He had some impression of this young man. He was a college student who was assigned to the Pingling County Party Committee with Xiao Chu at the end of last year. It was said that he was a little scholar in the second room of the county committee office. He was just a little bit arrogant because of his talent. He is not very popular with the leaders. At least it is because of this that Tu Xiangdong assigned him to be responsible for writing various reports.For example, the county committee office of the county committee office is not arranged to work in the first office where it is easier to get closer to the leadership. "Director Du, Xiao Chu and I have been boyfriend and girlfriend since we were in school" When Zhang Weimin said this, he glanced at Xiao Chu, who had his head lowered. "Wait, it's not convenient to talk here, let's go over there." After thinking for a while, Du Yan pointed to Liyuju, which was still brightly lit in the distance. Speaking of which, with the prosperity of Liyuju, Carpju is the center. The western district of the county, which has gradually formed a climate, has become somewhat of a pure leisure and business district. Along the Xiaoqing River, he came to the enclosed fishing pond behind Carp House. After the waiter placed a pot of hot tea and retired, Du Yan asked the two people sitting opposite: "What's going on with you guys?" You can talk to me now." After hearing Du Yan's question, Xiao Chu's cheeks, which had gradually returned to normal, turned pale again. She glanced at Zhang Weimin, and then bowed her head deeply again. "Director Du, we need to report the situation to the organization!" Zhang Weimin's mood suddenly became intense. He was breathing heavily. After looking at Du Yan who looked indifferent, he finally said: "I want to sue the executive deputy County Magistrate Geng Zhen, he is an out-and-out gangster!" Zhang Weimin said as if he was going all out, "Geng Zhen took the opportunity to go to the confidential room to ask for documents and bully Chu Lin!" Hearing what Zhang Weimin said, Du Yan Yuan's hand that just picked up the teacup paused in the air for a moment, then he continued to put the teacup to his lips and took a sip. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 52 The Destined Contest Du Yan drank tea silently, and Zhang Weimin's words surprised him somewhat. Du Yan didn¡¯t know what kind of person Geng Zhen was. Now that Zhang Weimin suddenly accused Geng Zhen of inappropriate behavior towards Chu Lin, he just listened. "Director Du, I know it won't work to say this kind of thing without any evidence, but I just can't stand this tone," Zhang Weimin suppressed his tone and said to Du Yan, "Chu Lin told me before that Geng Zhen sometimes goes We were a little too casual with her in the confidential room. At that time, we all thought it was because the leader was concerned or because Deputy County Magistrate Geng was informal. But later, that is to say, the time when the evaluation report was lost, I saw with my own eyes that he wanted to Being rude to Chu Lin, I was so angry that I almost beat him to death! " "Wait a minute, you mean you saw Deputy County Magistrate Geng do that?" Du Yan raised his head and glanced at Zhang Weimin, "Then why didn't you tell me? The leader reported it, and when the investigation team talked to Xiao Chu later, why didn¡¯t this situation come out? " "Director Du, this kind of thing is embarrassing. How can Chu Lin stay in the county committee after it is revealed? How will we face it in the future? "Outsiders, what will I do if my parents find out about this?" Zhang Weimin said angrily. He put his arms around Chu Lin's shoulders as if to comfort her, but Du Yan keenly noticed that when he did this, , but Chu Lin seemed to struggle intentionally or unintentionally, with a strange look on her face, but she was immediately hugged by him again. Du Yan, who saw all this in his eyes, couldn't help but take a serious look at Zhang Weiming. He admitted that Zhang Weimin was indeed a young man who looked quite sunny. However, because he had been in the officialdom for a long time, Du Yan thought he was good at judging people. His eyesight was not bad, so he could vaguely see that some of Zhang Weimin's words seemed to be untrue. "Director Du, we originally wanted to let this matter go. After all, Geng Zhen is the executive deputy county magistrate. As long as he doesn't go too far, we don't want to cause trouble. But who knows that's not the case," Zhang Weimin said angrily. "Now Chu Because Lin lost the evaluation report, she was not only transferred out of the confidential room but also suspended. If this continues, she may not even be able to keep her job. Director Du, we have no choice but to report to you, but can you please Keep it a secret for us. If this gets out" "Did you decide to report to the organization because of Xiao Chu's work problems?" Du Yan asked lightly. Seeing Zhang Weimin nodded vigorously, he thought for a moment, "Okay. , you said I need to check the situation, of course we will check while keeping Xiao Chu's reputation confidential, and if there are results, I will come back to you." Seeing Du Yan's intention to end the conversation, Zhang Weimin stood up knowingly. After getting up, he signaled to Chu Lin and bowed slightly to Du Yan to say goodbye, and then the two of them left Liyuju's fishing ground through the back door. Looking at their backs, Du Yan pondered a little. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing, but thinking about it carefully, even if he didn't encounter it today, maybe they would find him soon. Du Yan had a hunch. , Zhang Weimin not only failed to tell himself the whole truth, but perhaps he also hid something more important. It seems that it is finally time to use Sun Xiaopeng, Du Yan thought in his heart. Because Liu Laofei launched a special governance in the name of Governor Gao Ke¡¯s upcoming inspection, after receiving Du Yan¡¯s call, Wang Lianyi immediately arranged for Sun Xiaopeng to come to the new district in the name of supporting the special governance. What Du Yan didn't expect was that Sun Xiaopeng had been promoted to the team leader of the joint defense team after not seeing each other for two days. The reason for this was of course because Lao Chang had seen that Du Yan seemed to know Sun Xiaopeng. . "Xiao Peng, I can't believe that your official career is prosperous now," Du Yan joked with a smile. "It's not because of what I said the night before yesterday. Let's not talk about it. After returning home, Lao Chang's attitude towards me changed drastically. Before, he thought I was new, but he kept making trouble for me." Sun Xiaopeng laughed. Du Yan nodded slightly. Although he arranged for Sun Xiaopeng to enter the West Market Market, for the sake of future convenience, he told Wang Lianyi not only not to disclose the relationship between him and Sun Xiaopeng, but Wang Lianyi himself had no contact with Sun Xiaopeng, and Sun Xiaopeng could indeed If you can bear it, I think that when you first joined the joint defense team, you should have been squeezed out by old cunning people like Lao Chang. "Xiao Peng, please help me keep an eye on one person, that is, the young man and woman you saw by the Xiaoqing River that night. If possible, it is best for both of you to pay attention. If you really can't take care of it, just focus on the man." The man's name is Zhang Weimin and the woman's name is Chu Lin. They are both staff members of the county party committee office." At this point, Du Yan glanced at Sun Xiaopeng. "The lighting was not good that night. Maybe you can't recognize them. Do you need me to give you some advice?" "Don't worry, Director Du, this is what I do in the army." Sun Xiaopeng laughed, but didn't explain much. Du Yan nodded slightly.?, he knew that there should be many special things about Zhao Youxun's unit that needed to be kept secret. Although Sun Xiaopeng was already by his side, there were some things that he couldn't tell himself. "Pay attention to who they interact with, especially who they meet, and try to take photos if possible," Du Yan said, taking out a camera from the drawer of the table, which he bought when he went to the capital last time. Seeing this camera reminded him of the time when he first tried out his skills with the county cultural center's camera. "Report to me in time if you find anything." "Okay, Director Du," Sun Xiaopeng took the camera and nodded, but did not ask why. "And Xiaopeng, I want to talk to you about your work after you change jobs," Du Yan continued to Sun Xiaopeng, "After your transfer procedures are completed, I want to arrange for you to join the New District Police Station. Do you have any opinions?" " I will listen to the chief's arrangements." Sun Xiaopeng still answered readily. Speaking of which, Du Yan first arranged for Sun Xiaopeng to go to the West Market Police Station just as a transition to avoid making him too conspicuous. The ultimate goal was to hope that Sun Xiaopeng could enter the New District Police Station. Du Yan is not at ease at all about the current director of the new district, Lao Ge. And just as Du Yan's premonition was fulfilled, just a few days later, Chen Siyou suddenly found Du Yan and told him some unexpected news. "Director, Lao Ge is going to shake things up. He has arrested Zhu Laowen!" Chen Siyou, who shouted angrily as soon as he entered the door, ignored Hu Weiping who was still in the room and sat down on the chair opposite Du Yan. "Director, tell me, is this Lao Ge deliberately trying to make things difficult for us? Now it has been spread everywhere that the New District Police Station only listens to the county bureau and not the district committee." "Siyou, pay attention to what you say." Du. Yan frowned slightly. Although Chen Siyou was motivated, Du Yan also found that he was still young and still immature in many things. However, there was nothing that could be done about it. Now, almost all the cadres in the new district were promoted from the three towns. Yes, both the overall outlook and experience are somewhat weightless. Although this requires training, it also has a lot to do with personal character and ability. At least in Du Yan's mind, although Chen Siyou is a good soldier who can charge, But it does not mean that he is a qualified leader of the new district economic designation group. "Director, Lao Ge's recent behavior is indeed a bit abnormal." Hu Weiping poured a glass of water for Chen Siyou, then filled it up for Du Yan and sat in the chair on the other side. "To be fair, Zhu Laowen is indeed recruiting people." Hate, not to mention anything else, even the people from Shuangdui and Liuliji want to beat him up," Hu Weiping said when he saw Du Yan looking at Chen Siyou with a strange look on his face, and couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "Of course Zhu Laowen is really capable. He is very good at intercepting customers in the town. And the most unspeakable thing is that although he talks a lot, if he is more serious, there is really no way to catch him. "Of course, I told him before that it is his ability to intercept clients, but if he is lying to others, I will kick him out of Daqing," Chen Siyou seemed interested in continuing, but then he continued. He said angrily to Du Yan, "But Lao Ge said that he was just speculating. He also said that someone reported it to the police station, but Zhu Laowen was arrested on the street." "Who sued Zhu Laowen?" Du Yan was a little confused. He asked thoughtfully. He remembered that Zhu Laowen was the person who regarded him as a customer to buy ceramic tiles on the street of Daqing Township when he first returned to the new district. Although as Hu Weiping said, many people are indeed dissatisfied with Zhu Laowang, but they really can't catch him, and I heard that his business is getting bigger and bigger now, and he no longer even needs to be on the street all day. It keeps turning around and has some repeat customers all year round. "I heard that a group of people came from the city and said that Zhu Laowen was using their money to commit fraud." Chen Siyou frowned slightly when he said this. "If he really did this, he would be blind enough. Then I will I can't help him, but if it's Lao Ge who takes advantage of this to cause trouble" "No matter what the reason is, don't interfere," Du Yan warned Chen Siyou. He knew how much Chen Si had with Zhu Laowen. There is some connection between them. Now it seems that Lao Ge¡¯s purpose of seizing Lao Wei may not be that someone wants to knock down the mountain and shake the tiger. If possible, it may even be to take the opportunity to influence Chen Siyou. At the same time, he also wants to give him a good look. "Go back and bring your experience with you." Referring to the group, the work in the district is getting heavier and heavier now, and your main direction is also there. Remember Siyou, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to look further. " Looking at Chen Siyou unwillingly. After leaving, Du Yan felt a little helpless. The new district is now fully developed. Although there is still a big gap between the integrated development of three towns and one place in his vision, a general framework has been formed. But because of this, Du Yan gradually discovered that he was in desperate need of talented people. Although Hu Weiping is down-to-earth, he is more involved in office copywriting, and because of years of setbacks,Through experience, sometimes we are too forward-looking and not proactive enough. Chen Siyou is very motivated but not stable enough to control the overall situation. It is rare for Lao Zhai to help him stir up some vitality in the Shuangdui situation that has not been stable for ten thousand years. As for Peng Jun, Du Yan knows very well that once he one day When encountering setbacks, or if Shi Changgeng can promise him enough benefits, Peng Jun may be the first one to bite him. "The other cadres in the new district management committee can only follow Du Yan's intention. Not to mention that they have no opinions of their own, but more of the inertia of completely obeying the arrangements of their superiors. This made Du Yan feel secretly worried about the current situation in the new district. He knew that if the new district was to play a real role, the current situation could not be counted on at all. Although Qingguo Wine and Succi have become a local brand in Taihua in more than two years, if they really want to develop, they cannot achieve their goals by relying only on this method. After thinking about what Chen Siyou said about Zhu Laowen, Du Yan thought about it and said to Hu Weiping who was waiting next to him: "Weiping, go check and find out what the backgrounds of the city people who sued Zhu Laowen are. Remember, be careful." Hu Weiping nodded. He had already paid attention to those people when Chen Siyou mentioned them, but Du Yan didn't mention them, so it was inconvenient for him to overstep his bounds. Hu Weiping quickly found out the origins of those people. It was easy to say, because these people did not seem to simply want to purchase goods and do business in the new area, but first rented a few houses in Pingling County. , and then found a storefront in the new district, which looked like it was going to be a permanent residence. When he saw the name Jinding Trading, Du Yan looked at the name, which was slightly tacky but extremely familiar, and he felt a sigh of fate in his heart. Jinding Trading was the company of Zeng Zhenping, who was later known to everyone in Taihua. But in the later stages, this company has been renamed Jinding Group and has become an aircraft carrier-level group in Taihua region spanning entertainment, real estate, border trade and other industries. At that time, Zeng Zhenping relied on Ren Shuqiang's support and abundant financial resources to become a very important figure in Taihua's black and white circles. In the officialdom, Zeng Zhenping was also very influential, and even had a foreign minister like a small organization minister. Number. It seems that the struggle between himself and Ren Shuqiang is destined, Du Yan secretly thought about it. Although Du Yan knew from the beginning that since he and Ren Shuqiang could not be comrades, there would be a conflict one day, Du Yan also understood that it would be unwise to conflict with Ren Shuqiang in advance before his wings were full, so for a long time he Always try to avoid a head-on collision with Ren Shuqiang. But now it seems that Ren Shuqiang has clearly been keenly aware of the huge benefits that the new district may bring in the future, so he arranged for Zeng Zhenping to extend his tentacles to the new district early. If you think about it carefully, you can understand that Ren Shuqiang does not have an overly tough background. , but still able to suppress Cui Jianbin¡¯s ability all year round, how could he not see the role of the new district in the future? It seems that Lao Ge¡¯s move to seize Zhu Laowei was a drunkard¡¯s intention, and Ren Shuqiang¡¯s intention to infiltrate into the new district is already obvious. Just when Du Yan was still wondering what Ren Shuqiang would do next, the phone on the table suddenly rang. "Xiao Du, this is Guo Songlin." Guo Songlin's always easy-going voice came over the phone. "There is a situation I want to tell you first." "What instructions do you have, County Magistrate Guo?" He had vaguely guessed it. Du Yan asked calmly about Guo Songlin's intentions, "What comes comes comes." "It's like this. When the municipal bureau was engaged in special governance recently, I reported to me that some cadres in your new district have close relations with some speculators in society. According to reports from the masses, some of them have serious problems, which is also involved. Some leading cadres of the new district, I hope that the new district management committee will carefully verify this situation, and if it is true, it will be dealt with seriously." After speaking, Guo Songlin's tone became stern. "County Magistrate Guo, please rest assured that if this happens, our new district will not tolerate it," Du Yan replied calmly, but then he suddenly went on to say, "We will not let go of a problematic cadre, nor will we unjustly accuse him." A disciplined cadre. "That's good, Director Du. I'm waiting for the reply from your new district management committee." Guo Songlin's emotionless voice came from the phone. After putting down the phone, Guo Songlin looked at it. Sitting opposite, Liu Laofei, with a smile on his face, shook his head slightly, "Too young, still too young." On the other side of the phone, after hearing a busy signal from the phone, Du Yan dialed Ding Bingxian's number. "Secretary Ding, I want to report some situations to you." Du Yanyan told Ding Bingxian the recent developments in the new district in a concise and concise manner. ?Ding Bingxian, who had been listening to the phone silently, rarely interrupted Du Yan's words, and only asked some questions at some key points. After listening to Du Yan's statement, Ding Bingxian was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Xiao Du, you What is your personal opinion? " "Secretary Ding, regarding the issue of cadres and social workers working together to make profits in the new district, I think it should be looked at in two parts. Although the new district has been established for two years, it has just officially started to get on the right track. If At this time, because of some issues that have not been concluded clearly, I am worried that it may affect the development of the new district. In addition, Governor Gao is coming to inspect" I heard Du Yan mention Gao Ke on the phone. Ding Bingxian over there seemed to make a slight but vague sound, but he did not interrupt Du Yan. Only after a while, he said word by word: "Xiao Du, regarding the construction of the new district and development, I can tell you that the relevant leaders attach great importance to it, but I also hope that you can control the cadre team of the new district. Otherwise, not only will a lot of work not be carried out, it may also affect the development of the entire new district and even Pingling. " Hearing Ding Bingxian's obviously suggestive words, Du Yan smiled. Thinking of Ding Bingxian's previous arrangements for Ding Hongwei, he couldn't help but want to see how this veteran official who had been silent for many years would do. The desire for majesty. A few days later, on April 27, Du Yan received a notice from Tu Xiangdong, director of the county party committee office, asking him to attend a meeting on special governance at the county party committee the next day. That night, Sun Xiaopeng suddenly rushed to the new district overnight. Looking at Sun Xiaopeng, who was slightly tired but quite excited, Du Yan asked with a smile: "You must have brought something good for me, right?" "It's all in here." Sun Xiaopeng took it out of his backpack A thick paper bag. What made Du Yan a little surprised was that Sun Xiaopeng quickly picked out a photo with several people on it that he didn't recognize and handed it to him. ¡°I caught a big fish this time,¡± Sun Xiaopeng pointed at an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in the photo. ¡°If I just go for him, I could become a criminal police officer.¡± Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 53 The Eve of Battle Du Yan looked at the photo Sun Xiaopeng gave him in confusion. He didn't recognize anyone on it. "The photos I just took today are about to report to you. This person should be Zhao Aiguo," Sun Xiaopeng said. Seeing Du Yan still looked confused, Sun Xiaopeng reminded, "Director Du, do you still remember in Tongyang the year before last? When you once had a conflict with Qian Xiaocheng, the son of Qian Zhicheng, the secretary of the Tongyang Xiange District Party Committee, Qian Xiaocheng asked the chief of the police station in Xiange District to cause trouble for you and Director Zhao. Later, during the investigation, it was discovered that He is a drug dealer." "Is that Zhao Aiguo?" Du Yan looked at Sun Xiaopeng in surprise. If Sun Xiaopeng hadn't mentioned it, he would have completely forgotten about that person. "Xiaopeng, how did you recognize this person at that time? He ran away from the provincial office when he was under investigation, because he was worried that he would come back to seek revenge on you, so I saw his photos." Sun Xiaopeng said with a smile, "But his appearance has changed a bit in the past two years, and he has grown a beard, but "Bu Li Shi is him." "You took note of his appearance when you saw the photo?" Du Yan looked at Sun Xiaopeng in surprise. He knew that Sun Xiaopeng was an elite person trained by Zhao Youxun, but he didn't expect him to still look like him. Have a photographic memory. "Distinguishing and remembering the physical features of characters was my previous training subject," Sun Xiaopeng said with a nonchalant smile. "Speaking of which, besides Zhao Aiguo, I really discovered some strange things this time." Zhang's photos were arranged in a certain order in front of Du Yan. "This Zhang Weimin is really not that simple," Zhao Xiaopeng pointed to the photo and said, "He had met with Deputy County Magistrate Geng a few days ago, and it seemed that the two of them had a quarrel. Later, I saw him with the one named Chu Lin. The woman went to see Deputy County Magistrate Geng again. You can take a look later." Sun Xiaopeng placed a photo in front of Du Yan. "Just yesterday I found someone following Zhang Weimin. In order to find out who it was, I followed them to his residence. As a result, Zhao Aiguo was discovered. " "You mean, after Zhang Weimin and Geng Zhen met and quarreled, someone followed Zhang Weimin?" Seeing Sun Xiaopeng nodding, Du Yan tapped his fingers on the table while looking at the photo. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder about the reason. "Do you know why they were quarreling?" Du Yan asked. "The specific situation is not very clear, but it seems that Geng Zhen was eager to get something back from Zhang Weimin, and Zhang Weimin put forward conditions." Sun Xiaopeng said, "The last time the three of them met was in a restaurant outside the county. I was not far from them at the time, but it was not convenient to get close because there were too many people coming and going. However, not long after they broke up, I found that those people started to follow Zhang Weimin. " Du Yan is certain that Zhang Weimin had not done so before. To tell the truth to himself, he must have a more complicated relationship with Geng Zhen. As for the fact that he decided to report Geng Zhen to him because he found out that Geng Zhen was going to commit violence against Chu Lin, Du Yan didn't believe it. "Director Du, it seems that Geng Zhen has made an appointment with Zhang Weimin and we will meet again, but I can't follow him too closely at the time. It's not clear where the meeting will take place." Sun Xiaopeng said. "Oh, do you know the specific time?" Du Yan asked. Geng Zhen was temporarily suspended at home in the name of rest due to the loss of the evaluation report. "It's not clear yet, but I found that after they broke up, two people started to follow Zhang Weimin to his home." Sun Xiaopeng pointed to a photo, "I followed them again, but I saw that they later entered the Hulu In a house in the alley, Zhao Aiguo was waiting for them. "Hulu Alley?" Du Yan asked thoughtfully, and then took out the information that Hu Weiping had given him before from the drawer of the table next to him. According to the investigation of Jinding Trading, the registered address of Jinding Trading in Pingling is No. 30, Calabash Lane. "Can it be such a coincidence?" Du Yan murmured. Although many things may be coincidences, this one was too much of a coincidence. As far as he knew, Zeng Zhenping was able to become rich quickly in Taihua. In addition to relying on Ren Shuqiang, he had inextricable connections with some underworld. Even later, he himself had become a popular figure in the underworld in Hexi Province. characters. Du Yan was not surprised that Zeng Zhenping might have something to do with a drug lord like Zhao Aiguo, but he couldn't figure out how Zhao Aiguo's people could follow Zhang Weimin. How could a promising young official like Geng Zhen be related to a drug lord like Zhao Aiguo? "By the way, Director Du, I think maybe my judgment was wrong before," Sun Xiaopeng, who was still analyzing the photos carefully, suddenly said, "I think those people were not following Zhang Weimin at first, but following Geng Zhen." "Oh?" Du Yan looked at Sun Xiaopeng doubtfully. "That's because these people didn't show up at first. They followed Geng Zhen.But they obviously don't want Geng Zhen to find themselves. I think they may be here for something in Zhang Weimin's hand just like Geng Zhen. Sun Xiaopeng thought for a while and then said with certainty, "They probably followed Zhang Weimin after they discovered that the thing was not in Geng Zhen's hands." " "They also need that thing that Geng Zhen urgently needs? "Du Yan's heart suddenly moved. He had vaguely guessed what those people were looking for. "What should I do about Zhao Aiguo, Director Du? Is this person a dangerous person? "Sun Xiaopeng asked. "In this case, Xiaopeng, you take the time to report the situation to Lian Yi. Why did you find Zhao Aiguo? You can find a reason yourself. Lian Yi will handle the next matter. Du Yan told Sun Xiaopeng, "As for Zhang Weimin and Geng Zhen, let them go for now." " Du Yan looked at the slightly blurred figure of Zhang Aiguo in the photo and felt a little anxious. Gao Ke's time to come down for inspection became increasingly urgent, but he suddenly discovered a major drug dealer wanted nationwide in Pingling County, and this He had been a police station chief for many years, and he not only understood but was also very familiar with the methods of the police. Thinking of these, Du Yan even became slightly nervous. He restrained his urge to call. He knew that if he came forward, many things might change. It's even more complicated, and Sun Xiaopeng is a joint defense team member and a veteran. Even if his superiors ask, he can have a good reason to explain. Thinking of this, Du Yan suddenly felt something in his heart. He said to Sun Xiaopeng: "Xiaopeng, I will go to the county tomorrow. Have a meeting inside. You tell Lian Yi that if Zhao Aiguo's situation is confirmed, you can contact Deputy Director Hu of the county bureau tomorrow morning. " Sun Xiaopeng nodded. He knew that Deputy Director Hu was the executive deputy director of the county bureau. According to the rumors heard in the police station these days, Deputy Director Hu and Liu Laofei were not very good at each other. The key is that although Deputy Director Hu He is not very capable, but because he is the executive deputy director, he controls the most powerful criminal police team of the county public security bureau! Sun Xiaopeng vaguely guessed that Du Yan was taking the opportunity to infiltrate the county bureau. Seeing Sun Xiaopeng leave, Du Yan. Yan couldn't help but carefully reflect on the news he had just heard. It seemed that the key to the matter was what Zhang Weimin had in his hands. Whether it was Geng Zhen or the people in Jinding who were related to Zeng Zhenping, they were all interested in the things in Zhang Weimin's hands. Interest, and what made Geng Zhen so anxious, and even directly had a verbal conflict with Zhang Weimin, and it seemed to be related to Chu Lin, was not just the dispute between the three people that Zhang Weimin told him, "Is it that evaluation report? Du Yan murmured to himself the answer he had guessed in his mind, "Is that evaluation report in Zhang Weimin's hands? Doesn't that mean that Geng Zhen has played a cruel trick on Ren Shuqiang?" " Du Yan thought this in his mind and thought it was a little impossible at first, but then he discovered that this idea was actually the closest to the truth! The relationship between Geng Zhen and Chu Lin was obviously not as simple as Zhang Weimin said. Thinking of Lao Yu borrowing It seems that there may not be no reason for drinking and cursing Chu Lin. Then things became very clear. Zhang Weimin didn't know what method he used to get the handle between Chu Lin and Geng Zhen. At the same time, he got the handle from Chu Lin. The evaluation report, which is at least nominally very important, was obtained there as a tool to blackmail Geng Zhen. After all, no matter who is responsible for the loss of the report, once the relationship between Geng Zhen and Chu Lin is exposed, it will be a fatal blow to Geng Zhen. . And Geng Zhen is indeed not a simple person. In this unfavorable situation, he actually came up with a way to use this incident to send a signal to Ren Shuqiang that he seemed to break with Cui Jianbin. No matter how Ren Shuqiang and Geng Zhen got in touch, in Ren Shuqiang's view, the missing report seemed to be a play directed by Geng Zhen himself to take the opportunity to pay homage to him. At the same time, Geng Zhen, who actually did not have the real thing in his hands, and Zhang Weimin. Contact, hoping to get the report from Zhang Weimin before Ren Shuqiang discovers the truth. Geng Zhen, you are really not simple. What a pity Du Yan shook his head, and Geng Zhen probably never expected that Zeng Zhenping not only sent people to monitor him secretly. , and even used characters from the underworld. After all, no matter the atmosphere of this era, or for people like Geng Zhen who have been involved in official circles all year round, it is unwise and somewhat distant to be involved with the underworld. Du Yan, who gradually understood the subtleties of this, couldn't help but secretly sigh. He could imagine what conditions Zhang Weimin might have put forward to Geng Zhen before. When Geng Zhen couldn't satisfy him, he made a decision when he happened to meet him. He was betting on himself and took advantage of the opportunity to report to him to prepare for a relationship with himself, the new district director who took over Geng Zhen's position in the investigation team. Du Yan had to admit that Zhang Weimin did act according to circumstances and acted decisively. courage, but he is also?Thinking that Zeng Zhenping's people would be involved, things would become much more complicated. Du Yan, who was thinking about it, was awakened by the ringing of the phone. He picked up the phone and asked. A slightly familiar voice immediately came from the phone: "Director Du, I am Zhang Weiming, the county party committee office. I have some important matters. I want to report to you alone, but I don't know if it's inconvenient for you." Hearing Zhang Weimin's words, Du Yan smiled, knowing that Zhang Weimin was determined to climb his own tree. "Well, let's make an appointment to meet at noon tomorrow." Du Yan said. After saying that, he put down the phone and leaned back in his chair to look at the dark night outside. Tomorrow is really a good day that people look forward to. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 54 Transaction (Part 1) When Du Yan walked into the county party committee compound, there happened to be a muffled thunder in the sky. The sky was originally clear in the morning, but at this time it was overcast, and the slightly humid weather made people feel breathless. At the door of the county committee building, Du Yan saw Organization Minister Liao Kun squinting and staring at the flowers in the flower bed in front of the building. Seeing Du Yan walking over, Liao Kun showed a slightly playful smile. "Director Du came so early," Liao Kun said to Du Yan with a smile. "Isn't Minister Liao earlier?" Du Yan smiled slightly. Liao Kun was Guo Songlin's die-hard thug. Ever since he was Li Peizheng's secretary, Du Yan knew that every time he had a conflict with Li Peizheng, Liao Kun would always be the one. Be at the front. Liao Kun's current attitude, in Du Yan's eyes, feels like a weasel giving New Year's greetings to a chicken. "Minister Liao, Director Du, you were all earlier than me." Propaganda Minister Lao Xu wandered in from outside the yard at some point. When he saw the two people standing downstairs from a distance, the old man's face was filled with confusion. He put on a smile, as if seeing an old friend reunited after a long absence. "Old Xu, it seems you need to exercise more. Look at Director Du. He is young, promising and energetic. The world will be dominated by young people in the future." Liao Kun laughed and walked towards the building with Lao Xu and left. After a few steps, he turned around and said to Du Yan, "Let's go, Director Du, the meeting is about to begin." Du Yan nodded. Looking at the two people in front of him talking and laughing, he had already realized that today's meeting seemed to be a banquet. In the small room outside the conference room, Du Yan immediately saw Liu Laofei sitting on a chair in the corner, looking down at the documents in his hand. Seeing a few people coming in, Liu Laofei stood up and said hello. Although it had already spread that he would serve as secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, he had not officially taken office yet, so Liu Laofei was in a slightly embarrassing situation at this time, especially in When convening such a meeting with a special topic, he can neither follow a certain leader like other cadres attending the meeting, nor can he wait outside the meeting room like some cadres who are temporarily called to answer questions, so At this time, Liu Laofei could only come in advance and find a place in the corner to squint. Seeing Liu Laofang, Liao Kun took a few steps forward and grabbed his fat hand while holding Jia Cang and shaking it. That look was a bit more intimate than when he met with some other members of the Standing Committee. Several people walked into the conference room together. Du Yan greeted Liu Laofei and sat down in his seat. He knew that most of today's meeting was actually for him. From the time when Liu Laofei launched special rectification of the new area according to Guo Songlin's arrangement, Du Yan knew that Liu Laofei had finally decided to side with Guo Songlin after a long period of vacillation. Du Yan can understand Liu Laofei's thinking in making such a choice. It seems that Ren Shuqiang's call to succeed Cui Jianbin is getting stronger and stronger, and Guo Songlin is Ren Shuqiang's general. If he doesn't burn the incense while it's hot, it will be possible in the future. It's not that easy to get forward. Du Yan thought so in his heart, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face. If Liu Laofei had done this before yesterday, it might have brought him a lot of trouble, but after Sun Xiaopeng's report yesterday, Du Yan not only knew what was going on, but even had some expectations for today's meeting. Tu Xiangdong sat next to Du Yan. He entered the conference room a little late today, which was slightly different from his previous style. "Why is Director Tu in trouble?" Du Yan asked casually, looking at the slightly gloomy look on Tu Xiangdong's face. "I encountered a little trouble. Hey, I just can't do my job. I have to serve the leaders anytime and anywhere." Tu Xiangdong shook his head as if he was troubled, then glanced at Du Yan and said casually "Today's young people just can't work hard, especially some young lesbians. They don't feel suitable in the county party committee office. If they encounter any setbacks at work, they have to ask for transfer." Hearing what Tu Xiangdong said, Du Yan couldn't help but glance at him. Du Yan knew that Tu Xiangdong, an old fox, would never talk to others about his work without any reason, especially about the rights and wrongs of the county committee he was in charge of. Thinking again about the hints in Tu Xiangdong's words, Du Yan guessed that he should be talking about Chu Lin. Thinking of this, Du Yan couldn't help but glance at Tu Xiangdong again. Tu Xiangdong was very similar to Taihua Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General Liu Zhi in many places. They were both the kind of people who tried not to attract attention, let alone steal the leader's limelight at will. But not only are they all clear-eyed about the affairs they manage, but even many things that happen secretly cannot escape their eyes. Is Tu Xiangdong hinting that he knows something about Chu Lin? Or maybe it was his previous unclear relationship between Geng Zhen and Chu Lin.Is the truth already clear? Du Yan did not speak. At this time, he could not fully reveal his inner decision to Tu Xiangdong. Not only because the place was inconvenient, but more importantly, he also needed to see how close Liu Laofei was to Guo Songlin. . People attending the meeting were arriving one after another. When Guo Songlin walked into the conference room, he saw that the chair in the middle was empty. He raised his hand to look at his watch, and then looked eastward towards Tu. Tu Xiangdong knew what Guo Songlin meant. When he stood up and was about to leave the conference room, as the hour hand of the clock on the wall reached nine o'clock, Li Peizheng opened the door and walked in. Seeing Li Peizheng, Guo Songlin smiled and stretched out his hand. Although he was in the same building, he still had to show off on the scene. As for what it was like in private, everyone knew it and there was no need to be too pretentious. After shaking hands with Guo Songlin, Li Peizheng walked to his seat and sat down. He glanced in front of him. When he saw Du Yan, Li Peizheng's eyes paused slightly unnoticeably. Li Peizheng's mood became even more depressed when he saw a chair that had become vacant on the table. That was the seat of Geng Zhen, the executive deputy county magistrate. Geng Zhen was temporarily suspended because he lost important documents, so he did not attend this meeting. Due to Geng Zhen's problem, the situation of Cui Jianbin, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, became delicate. Although Li Peizheng only knew about the previous relationship between Cui Jianbin and Yang Weiping at this time, Li Peizheng always considered himself to be the original deputy secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee and the current Hexi Provincial Propaganda Secretary. Deputy Minister Qu Xiangshan was on the same line, so even if they knew where Cui Jianbin was from, they were not very close. "This is certainly related to people's distance and distance, but more importantly, it also involves certain branch disputes within the Yang family. But the current situation is that as Cui Jianbin's position is shaken, Ren Shuqiang becomes more and more powerful, and Guo Songlin relies on Ren Shuqiang to show an aggressive momentum. "Comrades, the meeting has begun." Li Peizheng gestured to Tu Xiangdong. When Tu Xiangdong began to announce the agenda of the meeting, he couldn't help but glance at Du Yan again. " What is the purpose of today's meeting? In fact, it goes without saying that everyone already knows that the special governance launched by Liu Laofei in the name of following the instructions of County Magistrate Guo Songlin for complex people in society is mostly targeted at the new district! In just a few days, the county bureau has already made a report, and this report not only raised great questions about the public security management of the new district, it also seemed to use hints to allude to certain cadres in the new district. There are intricate relationships with social personnel, and all of these cadres are Du Yan's capable men in the new district. Of course, Li Peizheng could see such an obvious method. While he was annoyed about the security of the new district, he also had to seriously consider whether Du Yan had any role in the fact that the County Public Security Bureau could prepare such a report so quickly. Implicated, and how much implicated. Li Peizheng now had mixed feelings about Du Yan. He did not expect that after Du Yan returned to Pingling, he would become alienated from him. Both of them knew very well that the relationship between them would never return to the mutual trust and support they had before. Li Peizheng sighed secretly in his heart. He didn't expect that he and Du Yan would reach this point. Thinking about it carefully, this was certainly related to the different behaviors of the two people, but it was probably more because their status had changed. Du Yan was his secretary before, and it can be said that he and he had a mutually beneficial relationship. But now, although Du Yan's voice is not very loud on the Standing Committee, he already seems to hold a voting vote. Along the way, it was this change that made the relationship between the two of them more subtle. "Comrades, this is the report on the results of this special treatment that the County Public Security Bureau has just submitted to the County Party Committee." Tu Xiangdong placed the reports one by one in front of the Standing Committee members. When he walked around in circles and came to Du Yan, When he put the report on the table, he tapped it lightly with his fingers intentionally or unintentionally. Opening the report, Du Yan quickly saw that Zhu Laowen's name was listed in the column involving hidden security risks in the new district and the special management of complex social personnel. However, what really caught Du Yan's attention was the interesting paragraph at the end. The implication is that Zhu Laowen was able to mingle in society for a long time in the New District only with the support and connivance of someone behind his back. At the same time, a group of unstable elements headed by Zhu Laowen were formed who forcibly intercepted customers and disrupted the market. "It seems that there is a big problem." Just after he opened the report and took a few glances, Liao Kun was the first to jump out. He first glanced at Guo Songlin, and then said, "From this report, our Some cadres indeed have quite a problem. Why is this Zhu Laowen so arrogant? Who ordered him to do this? Who is behind him???? This cannot but be said to be the result of mistakes made by our organizational department in the previous review of cadres on these issues. I would like to make a review to the organization first. " Hearing that Liao Kun took responsibility first when he came up, people looked at him a little strangely. Li Peizheng took a sip of the tea cup silently, and then looked at Liao Kun expressionlessly, waiting for him to continue speaking. Tu Xiangdong lowered his head and used his pen. He was slowly drawing something on the notebook, but the Minister of Human Resources and Military Affairs, Old Dong, had a look of dissatisfaction on his face. However, seeing Du Yan's unmoved look, Old Dong pondered for a moment and said nothing. "Secretary Li, as the county organization director, I have certain responsibilities," Liao Kun said with a distressed look, tapping the report on the table with his middle knuckle. I will not evade the responsibilities of the organizational department, but I would also like to ask, how do some of our leading cadres check the promotion of such people? How to use it, I think this is the key. " After Liao Kun finished speaking, he pushed the report forward with his hand, then turned his eyes around the other people's faces, and finally said to Li Peizheng: "Secretary Li, I think we should ask Director Liu directly. After all, he directly Responsible for governance work. ¡± Seeing Liao Kun charging forward desperately, Guo Songlin showed a smile on his face, although he knew that Liao Kun would take care of everything and even skip the previous few people. Some of the steps in the discussion to push Liu Laofei out were somewhat straightforward, but thinking about the current situation that was beneficial to him, Guo Songlin also believed that there was no need to get too entangled in some trivial matters. ¡°Secretary Li, It is still helpful to listen to the specific reactions of front-line comrades," Propaganda Minister Lao Xu continued. "In order to obtain real materials in some propaganda work, we also need to understand the situation from the comrades who are mainly responsible for the work. " After Lao Xu finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Li Peizheng and saw that although Li Peizheng's face was expressionless, he didn't seem to show dissatisfaction because of his words. He was secretly relieved. Speaking of which, although he had already received Guo Songlin the day before, He was ordered to cooperate with Liao Kun at today's meeting, but if Li Peizheng really showed dissatisfaction, Lao Xu was somewhat upset, but now he saw that Li Peizheng did not seem to be unhappy because of this, and then he thought that he had already After hearing the rumors that the relationship between Li Peizheng and Du Yan seemed to have become very subtle, Lao Xu was relieved. "Secretary Li, do you think you should ask Director Liu to report the specific situation directly? "Guo Songlin asked Li Peizheng in a low voice. Li Peizheng pondered for a moment and then nodded. It was originally scheduled for Liu Laofei to attend the meeting, but when he saw Guo Songlin's people coming up with an aggressive attitude, Li Peizheng couldn't help but glance at the person sitting far away with a complicated mood. Although the relationship with Du Yan has become slightly estranged, and there are even some subtle conflicts in some places, Li Peizheng does not want Du Yan to follow suit. Ren Shuqiang also showed an aggressive attitude when his offensive in the city was at its peak. This was a rare situation since Li Peizheng came to Pingling to establish a foothold. Li Peizheng looked at Du Yan with a slightly complicated look, and at the same time he looked a little strange. He turned to look at Ding Bingxian, who was sitting on the other side of him. In fact, not only Li Peizheng, but others were also surprised by Ding Bingxian's unusually silent attitude today. Pingling is only such a big place, and the relationship between people is not that big. Secret. Everyone here knows that Du Yan and Ding Bingxian's sons have been friends since childhood. So although Ding Bingxian is Li Peizheng's most loyal ally, even if there is a gap between Li Peizheng and Du Yan, If Ding Bingxian still supports Du Yan, no one will be surprised. But today, Ding Bingxian said nothing from the beginning. This was already a bit strange, and then saw Liao Kun and Lao Xu using the new district one after another. Some situations appeared that attacked Du Yan, but Ding Bingxian remained silent. This made people think of many things. Did Ding Bingxian decide to give up on Du Yan, or was he really unable to refute it? If so, then Du Yan would not be able to refute it this time. It was so good. A flash of excitement flashed in Liao Kun's eyes. Although he was the first to fire, in fact, neither Liao Kun nor Guo Songlin expected to force Du Yan into a corner. After all, Zhu Laowen's incident is just a hook. Even if Chen Si can be implicated through this incident, and then Du Yan, who has great importance for Chen Si, can be hit, it will always be a trivial matter. If you hope to rely on such a small It would be funny to overthrow a member of the county party committee's standing committee with this question. But now that he saw Ding Bingxian's attitude, Liao Kun suddenly became excited. Maybe there would be something greater this time. "Then let's ask Zhihui to do it.""Let me introduce the situation," Li Peizheng finally nodded. He didn't understand why Ding Bingxian would acquiesce to the current situation. Did he know that it couldn't be done or was there another reason? Although he thought so, Li Peizheng still agreed to let Liu Laofei speak. "Comrade Zhihui, tell me the specific situation. " Hearing Li Peizheng's last seemingly casual instructions, Du Yan glanced at him across the table, a faint touch of emotion flashed in his eyes. Li Peizheng was hinting that Liu Laofei's report should be matter-of-fact and not involve too much. Although it is true that the relationship between the two has cooled down, Du Yan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart because Li Peizheng could still say something for him at this time. He immediately stood up and gave a rare salute to the standing committee members present. His actions made Ding Bingxian, who had been silent, react for the first time. He inadvertently frowned slightly. He also became a little gloomy. Liu Laofei acted like this when he came up. It seems that the person who came next must be evil. "Dear leaders, let me report the relevant results of the county bureau's investigation" Liu Laofei picked up a report that had been prepared and read it. Except for the previously irrelevant situations, when the governance situation of the new district was mentioned, people immediately paid attention. ¡°Based on the situation we have and the reports from the masses, This Zhu Laowen has certain power in Daqing Township. In the name of soliciting customers, he forcibly intercepts normal business people. At the same time, relying on the support of some local cadres, he forcibly sets prices to monopolize the market for foreign businessmen who are unwilling to cooperate with them. , using threats and intimidation methods, this behavior has caused a great threat to the security environment of the new district. We believe that this is an organized crime with a dark and evil nature. "The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense! Several people around the table had different expressions on their faces. Although they thought that Guo Songlin wanted to take advantage of the new district incident to beat Du Yan, Liu Laofei actually saw such a thing at once. It seems that when a trivial matter rises to the level of evil forces, things are not that simple. Although this kind of thing happened many years ago, except for Du Yan, almost everyone here has experienced it. In that era, it was precisely because of this that Liu Laofei's words made many people secretly take a breath. Guo Songlin was determined to give Xiao Du some color, and Liu Laofei was determined to do so. Standing on the side of County Magistrate Guo, Xiao Du was offended to death. The Armed Forces Minister Lao Dong looked at Du Yan with some confusion. Huang Zhiguo, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission who had also been listening without speaking, opened the notebook in his hand and started writing. What's going on? Li Peizheng's heart suddenly jumped. He didn't expect that things would develop to this point. Did Guo Songlin really want to take the opportunity to bring down Du Yan? There was a brief silence in the conference room. Everyone knows that speaking at this time is a statement. "It seems that the problem of cadres in the new district is really big" It was Ding Bingxian who finally broke the silence, and as soon as he said this, others were stunned again. Did Ding Bingxian not only fail to defend Du Yan, but also make things difficult for him? What happened? Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 55 Transaction (Part 2) "I think there are some issues that need to be paid attention to when using cadres in new districts. We cannot use certain people without screening just because they have the ability. We still have to look at the overall quality of a cadre, especially in terms of ethics, which is related to us. The prestige and credibility of cadres among the masses is a major matter." Ding Bingxian continued to speak slowly and calmly. He and Du Yan's eyes met in the air, and then he nodded slightly without concealing it. "I suggest you check it out. Zhu Laowen handed it over to the county bureau. As for some cadres mentioned in the report who may be involved, I suggest that the Discipline Inspection Commission take the lead in investigating. After all, if there are reports from the masses, then there must be procedures. This is also responsible for our cadres. " Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Huang Zhiguo nodded silently but did not speak. Huang Zhiguo rarely spoke at the Standing Committee meeting, which made it difficult to guess whose side he would stand on. Perhaps it was this seemingly aloof attitude that made Li Peizheng Even Guo Songlin attached great importance to the ticket in his hand, which was also Huang Zhiguo's method of playing both sides. "Secretary Ding is right. It may not be a bad thing to check it out. If you correct it, you can encourage it." A smile appeared on Guo Songlin's face. This was really an unexpected gain. He really didn't expect that Ding Bingxian didn't know because Why today, not only did he not object, but he also took the initiative to investigate the new district. Although he quickly realized that this might not be a way to lose his car and save his handsome, as long as he had this opening, the next step would be much easier. What's more, his real purpose today is not here. "Then check it out," Li Peizheng frowned secretly and glanced at Ding Bingxian. Although he also thought that this might be Ding Bingxian's move to retreat, but when he thought that doing so would undoubtedly increase Guo Songlin's momentum, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. "But I also want to remind you that now we are accelerating the construction of the new district. The new district is a completely new matter. Some things will inevitably have some deviations. During the investigation, our comrades of the Discipline Inspection Commission must do their work practically and be objective and fair. We can neither let go of the problem nor chill the hearts of the comrades working at the grassroots level. " Huang Zhiguo nodded again, while drawing a circle on a name in the notebook with the pen in his hand. "The next topic is an appointment," Tu Xiangdong said expressionlessly while looking at the agenda of the meeting, "about the personnel discussion on the transfer of Comrade Wang Pin, the current deputy director of the Government Office, to the deputy director of the County Finance Bureau." Hearing this topic, the atmosphere in the conference room changed Just another lag! ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? People¡¯s affairs have always been as big as the sky, let alone a key department like the deputy director of the Finance Bureau? Hearing this, people's expressions couldn't help but move. "Comrades, let me introduce Comrade Wang Pin's resume." After hearing Tu Xiangdong's words, Liao Kun smiled and took out a document from his document bag and started reading, "Comrade Wang Pin, born in" Li Peizheng silently said Listen, he knows a little bit about Wang Pin. Although Wang Pin appears to be not close to Guo Songlin, in reality he is not very clear. When he first came to Pingling, with the help of Du Yan, he took down the county finance bureau by auditing the small treasury, and let Gong Yerong, who was the first to join him, take firm control of this powerful department, but Li Peizheng knew that Guo Songlin He has always been worried about this, and now it seems that he is going to take advantage of Ren Shuqiang's dominance in the city to re-insert his people into the Finance Bureau. "The situation about Comrade Wang Pin is roughly like this," Liao Kun finally finished reading the material. He nodded to Li Peizheng, then leaned back on the chair with a relaxed expression, looking at the others with his eyes. Li Peizheng glanced at Ding Bingxian. He was a little confused about Ding Bingxian's behavior just now. However, when he saw Ding Bingxian glance at Du Yan meaningfully, Li Peizheng's heart couldn't help but move. He turned his head and saw Guo Songlin looking at Du Yan with a smile on his face. This made Li Peizheng feel frightened for a moment, and then he heard the first statement: "I agree." No one expected that, The first person to agree was Du Yan, who was generally considered to be at odds with Guo Songlin! The conference room suddenly became extremely quiet. Even Liu Laofei, who had retreated to the chair in the back row and sat on the wall after speaking, couldn't help but sit up slightly and looked at Du Yan with a look of astonishment on his face. Guo Songlin had just ordered people to pursue and beat up Du Yan's men, but then Du Yan approved Guo Songlin's personnel nomination. What does this mean? Li Peizheng tried his best to hide the shock in his heart and observed everyone present. Old Dong's face was full of astonishment, Huang Zhiguo still lowered his head and focused on the notebook in front of him with an unchanged expression. Like Old Dong, Liao Kun and Old Xu also had confused looks on their faces, but Tu Xiangdong seemed to be a dedicated secretary, just kept talking. Taking minutes of the meeting. As for Ding Bingxian, Li Peizheng could not see anything from his face, which made Li Peizheng even more confused. For his old classmate, heIt became increasingly unclear. If the two people had a tacit understanding on many things before, Li Peizheng found that with the establishment of the new district, Ding Bingxian seemed to have some changes. Guo Songlin had a smile on his face. It seemed that Director Du was very aware of current affairs. He knew what to do after just tapping him. That¡¯s right, young people should abide by their duties. If they really mess around mindlessly, won¡¯t they be the ones who suffer in the end? Guo Songlin pondered in his mind and at the same time glanced at the gloomy Li Peizheng with a pity from the corner of his eyes, Old Li, it seems that your position as secretary is about to end, and even his past secretaries no longer agree with you. Guo Songlin thought about it and winked at Liao Kun. He believed that Liao Kun could understand what he meant. Seeing Guo Songlin's eyes, Liao Kun was stunned for a moment and then understood. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "I support Comrade Wang Pin's appointment as deputy director of the Finance Bureau. Speaking of Comrade Wang Pin's work, There is no problem with experience." He glanced at Du Yan, "This makes me want to make a digression. Our cadres, especially young cadres, will make some mistakes and mistakes in their work due to methods and methods. This is to a large extent related to work experience, especially some young cadres who have just been promoted. They are motivated but have no experience and need to strengthen their studies. Therefore, I think the scale of this training class for young cadres organized by the county should be expanded. In view of the The new district is a new thing. I think the quota can be allocated to a few more new districts. As for the specific candidates, it will be up to Director Du. " Seeing Du Yan smile at Liao Kun and then nod slightly, Li Peizheng suddenly understood: So that's it. ! There is no doubt that the report from the County Public Security Bureau about someone supporting Zhu Laowang is true, and this person is probably Chen Siyou, and Du Yan should also be aware of this matter. That¡¯s why Du Yan chose to compromise with Guo Songlin on the candidate for deputy director of the Finance Bureau, in exchange for letting Chen Siyou attend the county youth cadre training class to avoid the storm. So what role does Ding Bingxian play here? Li Peizheng looked at Ding Bingxian next to him, but to his disappointment, Ding Bingxian's eyes did not meet his. At this moment, Li Peizheng suddenly felt that he was so lonely. Two years after coming to Pingling, the result was like this. Not only did his once most trusted secretary choose to side with Guo Songlin at the critical moment, but also the secretary who he had supported to come out of the army again. My friends all chose to remain silent. Li Peizheng looked calm on the outside, but inside he was shocked and surprised. He looked at Du Yan in confusion, wondering when Du Yan had changed like this. He was still the smart but still sense of justice beside him. Young secretary? "Secretary Li, do you want to vote?" Guo Songlin asked casually from the side. Li Peizheng looked around again. He knew that Guo Songlin said this not so much as a provocation, but as a way to declare to him who is the boss of the Pingling County Committee now! When did things become like this? Li Peizheng nodded expressionlessly. Even if he failed miserably, he couldn't show any signs of frustration. He just let himself see what the defeat looked like. "Then those who agree with Comrade Wang Pin as deputy director of the County Finance Bureau, please raise your hands." As soon as Guo Songlin finished speaking, Liao Kun raised his hand first, and then the Propaganda Minister Lao Xu also raised his hand. "Old Huang, what's your attitude?" Liao Kun asked Huang Zhiguo, who was sitting across from him. He didn't necessarily want Huang Zhiguo to express his position, but he was dissatisfied with Huang Zhiguo's attitude of always being detached from other people. If the Minister of Human Resources and Arms, Lao Dong, always He chose neutrality because of his status. In Liao Kun's opinion, Huang Zhiguo was a bit pretentious. "I abstain." Huang Zhiguo replied without raising his head. "I also abstained." The old Dong did not follow the usual practice of always being the last to express his position in the Standing Committee, but expressed his position directly. For him, as long as it does not involve military affairs, he is the only one who can express his position on local matters. Not interested in paying attention. "I agree." Du Yan slowly raised his hand, looking at Li Peizheng's expressionless face, Du Yan sighed secretly in his heart. Politics is like this. The exchange of interests has become a rule in the officialdom. Moreover, he chose to support Guo Songlin this time because of Chen Siyou, and more importantly, Ding Bingxian's previous words deeply touched him. In the officialdom, if a person is too clean, it actually means that he has not really integrated into the big dye vat of the officialdom, let alone entered certain circles. Guo Songlin glanced at Tu Xiangdong. He was very clear about Tu Xiangdong, an old official who had served as secretary for several times. He knew that Tu Xiangdong would never do anything that was not beneficial to him. However, what surprised Guo Songlin was that Tu Xiangdong, who felt his eyes, glanced at him and replied calmly:   "I abstain." Abstaining? ! Guo Songlin first looked at Tu Xiangdong strangely, and then showed a smile. And after Li Peizheng heard Tu Xiangdong's words, his originally calm face finally showed an expression. His cheeks moved slightly, and then he slowly picked up the tea cup and put it to his mouth. As he raised the cup, the expression on his face was completely blocked by the cup. Except for Geng Zhen, who was not present due to suspension, and Liu Laofei, who did not have the right to vote, three of the nine standing committee members present abstained from voting. This has never happened before. After Tu Xiangdong said that, he started writing something in the notebook again, but he glanced slightly at Du Yan. Just now, when he vaguely showed an inquiring look to Du Yan, Du Yan did not give any What did he imply? This made him realize that although Du Yan did not ask him to support the same choice as himself, he did not hint that he would oppose it. Because of this, Tu Xiangdong chose the safest method for him after careful consideration. With Tu Xiangdong abstaining from voting, the vote has actually come to a conclusion. Seeing Guo Songlin raise his hand with a sure win, Ding Bingxian smiled at the people present and said: "It seems that my vote has no meaning, but let's go through the organizational regulations." Then Ding Bingxian said calmly: " I object." Li Peizheng glanced at Ding Bingxian. He didn't know whether Ding Bingxian chose to support him at this time, whether it was really out of support or purely to save his own face, but no matter what the outcome was, he had to admit his own. This time it was a disastrous failure! After two years in Pingling, such a result suddenly occurred. This was something Li Peizheng could not accept. He looked towards Du Yan and saw Du Yan's slightly apologetic look. Just when he was about to speak While talking, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Li Peizheng's secretary, Xiao Chen, rushed in. Behind him, there was also a police officer from the County Public Security Bureau. "What's going on! Don't you know we're in a meeting?!" Li Peizheng, who was in a bad mood, couldn't help scolding Xiao Chen sternly. "Secretary Li is a comrade from the County Public Security Bureau," Xiao Chen replied uneasily. He had never seen Secretary Li, who was serious but always calm, like this. "They said there was something very important to report to Director Liu." Liu Laofei stood up in surprise and asked the policeman: "What happened? Xiao Yao?" He turned around and explained to Li Peizheng, "Secretary Li, this is Comrade Yao Qiang, deputy captain of the Criminal Police Team of our county bureau." "Director Liu, We just received a report that Zhao Aiguo, an important wanted criminal issued by the Ministry of Public Security, was found in our county." Yao Qiang walked a few steps to Liu Laofei and reported in a low voice. "Zhao Aiguo?" Liu Laofang's face suddenly showed a surprised look. Everyone in the public security system of Hexi Province knew about the drug lord who used his identity as the police station chief, but he never expected that person to appear in his Pingling. "Director Liu, what happened?" Li Peizheng also realized that Liu Laofei's expression was different. Although he didn't know what happened, he felt inexplicably relieved. Although the fiasco of this vote was destined to happen, this sudden The unexpected incident unexpectedly offset Guo Songlin's momentum. "Secretary Li, comrades from the county bureau have discovered an important wanted criminal issued by the Ministry of Public Security in Pingling." Liu Laofei reported with a strange expression. He just heard from Yao Qiang that the deputy director of the county bureau, Lao Hu, had actually ordered the criminal police team to This made Liu Laofei very unhappy. Although as the deputy director, he had the authority to mobilize the criminal police team when necessary, Lao Hu's attitude of not greeting him at all made Liu Laofei vaguely feel that something was wrong. After listening to Liu Laofei's report, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but be surprised. This happened on the eve of Governor Gao Ke's inspection. If one person didn't handle it well, not to mention Pingling, even Taihua might suffer. A group of people will be unlucky! "Is the situation serious?" Li Peizheng asked anxiously. "This is a very dangerous drug trafficker, and he is very familiar with the detection methods of our police." Liu Laofei did not say that Zhao Aiguo used to be the police station chief. He was worried that Li Peizheng would take the opportunity to beat himself up and vent about his recent defeat in the vote. of anger. "We must not take it lightly, especially at this time, and we must not let the situation escalate," Li Peizheng said, already walking around the table, he walked over to Yao Qiang and held Yao Qiang's hand firmly. "Vice Captain Yao, the people of Pingling and The safety of the national property will be left to you. " Yao Qiang showed an unexpected and excited look on his face. He never expected that coming to the county committee to report to Liu Laofei because of the emergency would turn into an encounter with the county committee secretary. He immediately straightened his waist and replied loudly: "Secretary Li, please rest assured that our county public security bureau will not let the leaders down!"  "Don't let down the hundreds of thousands of people in Pingling." After Li Peizheng said this, he said to Liu Laofei, "Director Liu, you should return to the county bureau immediately to take command. You must ensure that criminals are not allowed to escape." Li Peizheng's words Liu Laofei felt a pain in his heart, knowing that Li Peizheng finally found an opportunity to beat himself. Liu Laofang secretly gritted his teeth and nodded. He knew that if he successfully caught Zhao Aiguo this time, it would be a miracle, but if he escaped, Li Peizheng might use the topic to his advantage, especially when he was about to go to law school. At this critical moment for the Party Secretary, this matter is definitely no small matter! "That's it, the situation is urgent, let's start the meeting here first." Li Peizheng looked at Tu Xiangdong, who was taking notes, and then glanced at Du Yan again, turned around and walked out of the conference room. Looking at Li Peizheng's back, Du Yan pondered for a moment. He knew that what happened today had broken the last possible link between him and Li Peizheng. From then on, the two of them were really just strangers. "Director Du, do you have time in the afternoon? I want to talk to you about the personnel issues of the youth cadre class training." Liao Kun said to Du Yan. "I'm sorry, Minister Liao, I still have something to do. If you don't want to find time later, I'll call you." Du Yan rejected Liao Kun calmly. Liao Kun showed a trace of uncontrollable annoyance on his face. He didn't expect Du Yan to be so ignorant after clearly showing his intention to be soft, which made him curse secretly in his heart. "Director Xiao Du is a busy man. Even I have to check if he is free sometimes." Guo Songlin walked over with a smile. He did not want Liao Kun to offend Du Yan at this time because of a trivial matter. , and in his heart, Guo Songlin's view of Du Yan is actually different from that of Liao Kun. Guo Songlin does not lack people who can cheer him up, but he lacks a helper who can really be useful to him in terms of political performance. At a time when the standard of measuring cadres' abilities by economic benefits is becoming more and more important, Guo Songlin has obviously It feels like there is a lack of handy men. He valued Du Yan's ability, and he didn't mind if Du Yan was willing to join him and reuse Du Yan, so when he saw the situation was a bit tense, he came over to smooth things over. "County Magistrate Guo, Secretary Ding, I have something to do in the new district so I'll go back first." Du Yan nodded and said hello, then greeted the others and turned around and walked out of the conference room. He also wanted to see Zhang Weimin. . "Director Xiao Du still has such a good character." Liao Kun said, but he was cursing secretly in his heart, "Why are you pretending to be noble? If I didn't catch you, would you be obedient? It's a virtue for everyone if you don't." It's all for work, so it doesn't matter." Guo Songlin explained to Liao Kun and turned to greet Ding Bingxian, who was about to walk out of the conference room with Huang Zhiguo. "Secretary Ding heard that your chess playing is superb, and you are known as a chess player. The invincible player in the whole county, how about we kill a game if we have time?" Ding Bingxian smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Guo, you are an amateur now, what do I call the invincible player in the county? Think about others and Can you beat me in chess? You just accompany me to relieve your boredom. Anyway, I have nothing to do all day long." Guo Songlin's eyes flashed and he glanced at Huang Zhiguo, who was standing silently next to Ding Bingxian. He said with a meaningful smile: "I guess Secretary Ding will be very busy in the future, and it may not be easy to play chess with you." "I hope so." Ding Bingxian smiled slightly, then raised his hand to Guo Songlin With a brief signal, he and Huang Zhiguo walked out of the conference room. "When did the two of them get together?" Liao Kun looked at the backs of the two and whispered in confusion. Guo Songlin looked back at Liao Kun and said nothing, but secretly he couldn't help but frown. It is true that Liao Kun is loyal to Guo Songlin, but when it comes to ability, Guo Songlin is disappointed, which makes Guo Songlin more interested in recruiting Du Yan. When Du Yan walked out of the conference room, he saw Zhang Weimin who seemed to appear in the corridor by chance. After making an appointment at the meeting place, Du Yan walked out of the county party committee compound. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 56 Miscalculation Du Yan walked slowly along the back wall of the county party committee compound. The place he made an appointment with Zhang Weimin was a quite quiet street not far from the county party committee compound. It only took ten minutes to walk from the county party committee compound. Du Yan doesn¡¯t have a good impression of Zhang Weimin. He knows that there are many people like Zhang Weimin in the agency. These people usually pretend to be honest and even inconspicuous, but as long as they have a chance, they will suddenly appear and bite you hard. It¡¯s just that now, Du Yan needs what Zhang Weimin has. In addition to the evaluation report from the heavy machinery factory, what else does Zhang Weimin have about Geng Zhen? Du Yan thought about it carefully and couldn't help but feel strange when he thought that after the evaluation report was lost, Geng Zhen unexpectedly admitted that he had lost the document. Speaking of which, what puzzled Du Yan was that Geng Zhen could have just denied the loss of the evaluation report, but he admitted it himself. Thinking of this, Du Yan felt that if Zhang Weimin hadn't really mastered it, Geng Zhen has more clues, that is, there are other hidden secrets. At this time in late April, the weather was already a bit hot. Du Yan walked along the green shade of the trees on the roadside, while he was thinking about the Standing Committee meeting that had just been held. At this time, Li Peizheng must be in a bad mood. Du Yan sighed helplessly. Du Yan has been thinking about it since he listened to Ding Bingxian's words. He knew that Ding Bingxian was hinting at some of his actions. For Ding Bingxian, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, it is very simple to thoroughly see what is going on here, so he can directly point out Du Yan's current situation. More importantly, with Chu Ping's unwillingness to be lonely, it seems that he is dormant in Pingling. Ding Bingxian, who has been around for many years, should be able to take action. What will happen to Li Peizheng? Du Yan's mind flashed back to Li Peizheng's slightly lonely figure when he walked out of the conference room. Thinking of Li Peizheng's support and care for him over the past few years, Du Yan felt somewhat uncomfortable. But there was no way around it. When he conveyed the wishes of Director Miao of the Provincial Department of Finance to Li Peizheng, and Li Peizheng revealed that he didn't want to ask too much about the matter, Du Yan already knew that there was no longer anything between him and Li Peizheng. What they have in common, as for the previous fate between the two people, that has already passed and will never come back. Du Yan breathed out softly, letting go of the depression in his chest. Although he knew that it would happen sooner or later, when it really happened, he felt somewhat helpless. Standing on the side of the road some distance from the agreed place, although at this time the Internet was not as popular as in later generations, and officials were exposed more frequently, he was still careful not to get too close to the date. Du Yan still doesn¡¯t know what kind of deal there is between Geng Zhen and Ren Shuqiang, but from the fact that Geng Zhen was able to hook up with Ren Shuqiang through this thing that was obviously not good for him, it also shows that Geng Zhen is different. When he thought about what Sun Xiaopeng said about Zhang Weimin being followed, Du Yan naturally had to be cautious. It would be too bad for someone to catch him at this time. It wasn't until the time was almost up, and it was estimated that Zhang Weimin would be arriving soon, that Du Yan walked along the road to the date. Not far away, he saw Zhang Weimin carrying an old-fashioned schoolbag, standing under a billboard at the intersection. Looking back and forth slightly anxiously. Du Yan looked again, and after he was sure that he did not see the people who were following Zhang Weimin as Sun Xiaopeng said, he walked down the sidewalk in the direction of Zhang Weimin. Suddenly, accompanied by a roar, a dusty van flew past very close behind Du Yan, and then suddenly stopped in front of Zhang Weimin not far away! Zhang Weimin was stunned just now. Before he could react, the car door opened and two big men had already grabbed Zhang Weimin and dragged him into the car! This sudden scene surprised Du Yan. He did not expect that these people would be so bold as to dare to rob someone in the daytime. At this moment, the van quickly turned a corner and disappeared on the street at the intersection! Du Yan quickly looked to both sides of the road. When he saw the owner of a canteen not far away looking at this scene in astonishment, he immediately walked over and asked loudly: "Is there a public phone?" "Yes. Yes," the boss said with a pale face. He pointed to the public phone placed on the corner of the counter. When Du Yan walked over and picked up the phone to dial, he was stunned for a moment and then understood, "You want to call the police station? "Phone?" "Yes." Du Yan replied casually. The sudden accident reminded him that these people should be the people who followed Zhang Weimin as Sun Xiaopeng said before. Although he knew that these people were related to Zhao Aiguo, he really didn't expect this. People are so mad that they go out on the streets to murder and rob people. Seeing Zhang Weimin being kidnapped, Du Yan immediately realized that the situation was not good. If they knew from Zhang Weimin that he was going to meet him, and all this was known to Zeng Zhenping or Ren Shuqiang, that would be?Zhang Weimin insisted that he didn't know yet what he was about to hand over, but Ren Shuqiang might have guessed that he had discovered the relationship between them and Geng Zhen, or at least they would have guessed that he had discovered the whereabouts of the evaluation report. Originally, Du Yan thought that no matter how cunning Zhao Aiguo was, it would not be too difficult for the county criminal police team to catch this big drug lord by surprise. What's more, he had heard from the Minister of Human Resources and Armed Forces, Lao Dong, that unlike Liu Laofei, who only flattered his superiors, the deputy director of the county bureau, Lao Hu, was a combat hero who had participated in self-defense counterattacks before, and the capabilities of his county criminal police team It's also very strong. It¡¯s just that the change of things was completely beyond his expectation. At least Zhao Aiguo¡¯s men would appear on the street at this time, and they could also use a car to kidnap Zhang Weimin. It seemed that things had changed. The phone kept ringing, and when Du Yan became impatient, someone picked up the phone. ¡°Who is it from the West Market Police Station?¡± An impatient voice came from the phone. "Is Director Wang here?" Du Yan did not report his name. He hoped that he would not expose himself too much unless he had to. "Wang, who are you on this mission?" Hearing that it was Wang Lianyi, the other party's tone softened slightly. "Is Sun Xiaopeng from the joint defense team here?" Du Yan continued to ask. "Captain Sun, he went out with Wang Suo." Du Yan frowned. He knew that Wang Lianyi should have cooperated with the county criminal police team's actions today, and Sun Xiaopeng, as the joint defense captain who provided clues, naturally It is very likely that he and Wang Lianyi will have to cooperate with the actions of the county criminal police team. But now something big has happened! There was no time to think about anything else. He hung up the phone, took out the phone book from his pocket, and dialed a number on it. The phone only rang twice before it was picked up, and then a steady and low voice came from the receiver: "Hello, who are you?" "Brother Zhao, this is Du Yan," Du Yan lowered his voice and said, " I want to ask you to help me with something." There was a slight silence on the phone, and then Zhao Youxun's still steady and strong voice came: "What happened?" After briefly explaining the situation, Du Yan and Zhao Youxun made an appointment. When he walked out of the canteen, he happened to see a police car roaring past. By this time, the county criminal police team should have started taking action, Du Yan thought to himself. It was unexpectedly discovered that people from Zeng Zhenping Jinding Company were related to Zhao Aiguo, a drug dealer wanted nationwide. This was definitely crucial news for Du Yan! Du Yan believes that if this discovery is mastered well, even if it cannot bring down Ren Shuqiang, it will be enough to make him panic, and Zeng Zhenping, the cancer that has always been buried in Du Yan's heart, can also be pulled out. Another police car passed by. Listening to the piercing siren echoing in the street, Du Yan's heart tightened slightly for no reason. He walked forward in the direction where the police car disappeared. When he crossed two roads and came to a busier street, he saw that the police car had just parked on the side of the road. Two policemen came down and began to check the passing vehicles. Seeing that one of the policemen looked familiar, Du Yan walked towards them. "Director Du?" The familiar-looking policeman immediately recognized Du Yan. He called out slightly nervously, then turned back to hint to his companions to follow him and salute Du Yan. "Comrades, thank you for your hard work." Du Yan remembered that he had met this policeman when he was dealing with the heavy machine factory workers blocking the factory gate. As for the specific last name, he didn't know it at all, but at this time he could only come up with the leader. Then he asked, "Can I use your walkie-talkie? I want to contact Director Liu." "Director Du, please." The policeman immediately opened the car door and pulled out the microphone from the car and handed it over. Then he whispered, "Director Du, do you already know?" "Huh?" Du Yan glanced at the policeman in confusion. "I heard that the county criminal police team's operation went awry." Seeing Du Yan's questioning look, the policeman lowered his voice again and said, "It seems that an important wanted criminal to be arrested has slipped through the net. Now Director Liu has taken over the whole situation." "It's all gone." "What?" After hearing what the policeman said, Du Yan couldn't help but ask, something went wrong in the arrest of Zhao Aiguo, which he never expected! Of course Du Yan didn¡¯t want to contact Liu Laofei for any reason, he just wanted to know where Wang Lianyi or Sun Xiaopeng was. Although he has contacted Zhao Youxun, he does not want the matter to get too big. He does not want to use Zhao Youxun's power easily unless he has to. This is of course because he does not want to owe Zhao Youxun too much.The favor made him feel a certain sense of guilt when facing Zhao Xiaoyun. The more reason was that he knew that it was too sensitive for the military to intervene in local affairs at any time, not to mention that many of the things involved could not be seen. Light. After the policeman called into the walkie-talkie several times, Liu Laofei's angry voice came from the microphone: "I am Liu Zhihui, who is looking for me?" Hearing Liu Laofei's voice, the policeman reported himself slightly nervously He then handed the microphone to Du Yan: "Director Liu, Director Du of the County Party Committee wants to call you." "Director Liu, this is Du Yan." Du Yan said, his mind turned around, and he wanted to find an excuse to take the opportunity to inquire. The whereabouts of Wang Lianyi and Sun Xiaopeng, but after hearing that there were mistakes in the arrest of Zhao Aiguo, he decided to take advantage of this opportunity! "What's the matter, Director Du?" Liu Laofei asked, suppressing the anger in his heart. He was very angry after hearing that Deputy Director Hu mobilized the criminal police team to arrest Zhao Aiguo without his consent, but who would have thought The arrest operation actually went wrong. When he heard that there was an accident in the operation, Liu Laofei shouted "Okay!" from the bottom of his heart. But then he suddenly realized that not only had Li Peizheng beaten him before, but more importantly, it was the governor of Gao who was now the governor. On the eve of Ke's inspection, such a big problem unexpectedly occurred at this time. Even if Lao Hu is dismissed from his post now, the blame will undoubtedly hit him in the end. What¡¯s worse is that he never expected that Zhao Aiguo was actually related to someone from Jinding Company! The boss of Jinding Company is Zeng Zhenping. Liu Laofei knows that although he has not had the chance to meet Zeng Zhenping yet, he has long heard that this boss Zeng not only has great hands and eyes, but also has a sister who is the director of the Municipal Airport Management Bureau. When he heard the news, Liu Laofei's blood pressure almost rose, so now that Du Yan was looking for him, although he tried his best to suppress it, there was a trace of impatience in his tone. "Director Liu, I want to verify with you some of the issues reported by the masses mentioned at the meeting just now, which are the Jinding Company's office in the new district" Du Yan pretended to be casual and said into the intercom. "Wait a minute, Director Du, what did you say? Jinding Company's office in the new district?" Liu Laofei interrupted Du Yan on the intercom without caring about politeness. The previous report only mentioned that Jinding Company opened in Pingling. branch, but did not mention any other offices, and Liu Laofei did not pay attention to this trivial matter. Now when Du Yan said this, he immediately thought that Zhao Aiguo, who had escaped, would probably come from the new district. Run away! Seeing that Liu Laofei had noticed the news that he had deliberately revealed to him, Du Yan continued to talk to Liu Laofei in irrelevant words, but soon Liu Laofei's slightly urgent voice came from the microphone: "Director Du, I There's an emergency here. I'll contact you later. " "Then I won't disturb you. Let's talk next time." After saying this, Du Yan pressed the button on the intercom and listened to the "rustling" coming from inside. "The sound of electric current made Du Yan take a deep breath. The development of things was unexpected. Zhang Weimin was kidnapped, and Zhao Aiguo actually escaped from the arrest. This series of events completely disrupted Du Yan's previous plan. Hoping that his guess was not wrong, Du Yan thought and looked at his watch. The place where he agreed to meet with Zhao Youxun was still far away, but he believed that Wang Lianyi had heard the previous conversation with Liu Laofei on the general channel of the walkie-talkie. He wanted to come. Soon you will find ways to connect with yourself. Sure enough, Du Yan had not been in the inspecting police car for long when a siren sounded from far to near. Du Yan had just gotten out of the car after hearing the news. A police car had stopped in front of him, and Sun Xiaopeng's face appeared on the driver's side. Seat. Without thinking about what to say, Du Yan said hello to the two policemen, sat in the passenger seat and whispered: "Hurry up, Xiaopeng, go to the north of the city." As Sun Xiaopeng stepped on the accelerator, the police car immediately roared forward. go. "Director Du, the arrest operation failed," Sun Xiaopeng simply reported to Du Yan in the car, "Someone leaked the news. Zhao Aiguo had just left when the criminal police team arrived, but several of his men did not have time to escape. "When did this happen?" Du Yan asked eagerly. "About an hour ago," Sun Xiaopeng looked at his watch, "About 1:30 in the afternoon." "That's about the time Zhang Weimin was kidnapped." Du Yan breathed out. He was worried that those who kidnapped Zhang Weimin already knew about it. It seemed that they were unaware of the action to arrest Zhao Aiguo. After thinking about the characteristics of the van he had discovered before and the general direction of its disappearance, Du Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the era of backward communication technology also has its advantages, Du Yan said secretly in his heart. Not to mention future generations, even if it is a year or two later, as long as the pager is promoted, those who hijacked Zhang Weimin will probably fight with Zhao Aicountry to get in touch. Now, not to mention Pingling, even inland cities like Taihua are not covered by the paging network, so even if Zhao Aiguo has escaped from the arrest net, he has no chance to notify him for a while Those men. In this case, Du Yan thought about it for a moment and concluded that the whereabouts of the gangsters who hijacked Zhang Weimin should not have changed as he had guessed. When he came to the intersection on the north side of the county and left the city, Du Yan saw a green jeep parked together with a police car checking passing vehicles. Du Yan could feel that Liu Laofei was obviously cruel this time and just treated Du Yan For now, Liu Laofei is left to worry about Zhao Aiguo's affairs. The first thing he needs to do now is to find Zhang Weimin. Watching Lao Dong get out of the jeep, Du Yan called to Sun Xiaopeng to stop the car and greeted him: "I'm sorry, Minister Dong. The situation is urgent and I have something to say to you later." The car came out." Old Dong didn't ask why. Zhao Youxun's previous call only asked him to help Du Yan find a car and wait in the north of the city, but he didn't say why. Although this made Old Dong feel puzzled. But he knew that some things were better left unasked. "Thank you, Minister Dong. Please return the police car to Lian Yi." Du Yan shook hands with Lao Dong. He originally made an appointment with Zhao Youxun to borrow Lao Dong's car to meet him, but now although Sun Xiaopeng is driving He bought a police car, but in order not to be too conspicuous, he and Sun Xiaopeng transferred to Lao Dong's jeep. "Drive Xiaopeng, let's go to Liuliji to meet up with Brigade Zhao." Du Yan said in a deep voice while looking ahead. He did not expect that things would develop to this point. "Director Du, are you sure those who kidnapped Zhang Weimin went to Liuliji?" Sun Xiaopeng finally asked after driving for a while. "I'm not sure, but I noticed that the tires and mud on the van that robbed Zhang Weimin were all made of plain clay that is only available in Liuliji." Du Yan said solemnly as he looked at the road ahead. Sun Xiaopeng drove the jeep skillfully on the road. It was not until he saw a truck parked on a side road and Zhao Youxun walking back and forth beside the truck that Du Yan finally let out a long breath. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 57 Extraordinary Means None of the men Zhao Youxun brought were wearing military uniforms, and the truck he drove was also a very inconspicuous Dongfeng truck. Seeing these soldiers in plain clothes who looked no different from ordinary foreign traders who came to Liuliji to buy ceramics, Du Yan had to admit that Zhao Youxun was very thoughtful. Based on Du Yan's vague understanding of Zhao Youxun's army, it is not a problem to select some highly skilled elites from among them. However, due to years of habit, those soldiers will inevitably show their unique military temperament and behavior in their behavior, which will easily alert them. , and there seemed to be no trace of suspicion among the soldiers in front of him. This made Du Yan secretly admire Zhao Youxun's carefulness, and at the same time, he also became more interested in the unit he led. The Zhao family is undoubtedly the most loyal follower of the Song family. Du Yan already knows this clearly from Zhao Xiaoyun. Now seeing these subordinates brought by Zhao Youxun, Du Yan can't help but have a deeper understanding of the power of the Song family. understanding. "Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. This statement can be said to be universally applicable. Because it comes from a great leader, it naturally becomes brilliant. In fact, if it is said more ugly, it means that if you have a gun, you will be a grass-headed king." It seems now that the Song family has a very deep understanding of this sentence. Although he was anxious, seeing that Zhao Youxun remained silent, Du Yan did not speak. The closer to Liuliji, the bumpier the road becomes, and you can see more and more large and small kilns on the roadside, which makes Du Yan unable to help but fall into deep thought. The rapid development of Liuliji has surprised many people. Even Du Yan, who is very familiar with the scale of Suchi after the rise of later generations, did not expect that once an industry finds its entry point, it will burst into such huge development. vitality! With the rise of Suchi, the entire Liuliji has completely changed in the past two years! Du Yan still remembers that Gong Yerong, the county finance director, told him during a chat not long ago that the municipal finance bureau once conducted a routine census and found that the per capita gross value of the new district exceeded 2,000 yuan. He thought the data was wrong, but can be recalculated. At that time, Guangping County in eastern Guangdong, which ranked last among the top ten counties in the country in per capita fiscal revenue, had only just passed the 3,000 yuan mark last year. ¡°But if the new district¡¯s fiscal revenue is spread over the entire Pingling, then this seemingly impressive number will not only be inconspicuous, but will even be pushed to the bottom of the country¡¯s rankings. What makes Du Yan more concerned is the large and small kilns that are springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Looking at the kilns emitting thick black smoke far and near, Du Yan feels somewhat strange in his heart. Having seen all the disadvantages that later generations suffered due to blind mining, Du Yan never thought that he would inadvertently become the hand that promoted the emergence of such disadvantages. When he thought that this land seemed to be prosperous now, it would never be better. The land will become barren due to blind mining in ten years. Du Yan felt that some things had to be prepared in advance. "The situation in Liuliji is a bit complicated," Du Yan said to Zhao Youxun, who had been silent as he approached the place. "Now many businessmen from other places are doing business in Liuliji, and there are many mobile people coming from abroad. If those who kidnapped Zhang Weimin put him Hiding in an abandoned kiln, things may be very bad, especially if Zhao Aiguo slips through the crackdown. Once they get wind of it, they may destroy the evidence or even kill people. " Zhao Youxun nodded slightly, but he didn't. Thinking that Du Yan clearly understood the seriousness of the matter, in his impression Du Yan was always a somewhat slippery little bureaucrat. On this point, Zhao Youxun and his sister Zhao Xiaoyun were quite consistent. So when he heard Du Yan say that the gangsters who hijacked Zhang Weimin might kill people, he looked at Du Yan with a little surprise, then turned around and knocked on the backrest of the car behind him. A small door on the board immediately opened, and a soldier's face appeared in front of the small door. Zhao Youxun ordered in a low voice. Although he vaguely heard a few words, Du Yan was confused by some of the strange words Zhao Youxun said. He estimated that these were some kind of military code words. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to go to the police station. When I went to Zhao Youxun's station for the first time, I saw the variable frequency signal device installed on Zhao Xiaoyun's car that can identify the identity. It seems that Zhao Youxun really has a tiger and wolf army! The Dongfeng truck has not yet driven into Liuliji. From a distance, you can see the traffic and people coming and going on the road. This is the season when Liuliji¡¯s business starts to get busier. Think about it, the new district has a new one almost every month. Although Du Yan was slightly pleased with his small achievement, he also became more vigilant. It would be strange if others didn¡¯t look at such a delicious piece of fat meat with envy. "Zhao Youxun's men quickly disappeared into the crowd after getting out of the car, while Zhao Youxun took the money from his pocket.He handed a few dollars to Sun Xiaopeng: "Xiaopeng, help me buy a pack of cigarettes." Sun Xiaopeng cleverly took the money and got out of the car and walked to a canteen on the roadside. The car suddenly became silent. Watching people coming and going outside, Zhao Youxun took out an unopened box of cigarettes from his pocket, tore off the seal, took out one and handed it to Du Yan. When Du Yan shook his head slightly, he put the cigarette in his mouth. There was a fire inside. After taking a deep breath, Zhao Youxun looked at Du Yan with strange eyes. "Do you know that my sister actually has a boyfriend?" Zhao Youxun asked. Under Zhao Youxun's gaze, Du Yan looked at him: "Xiaoyun never said that he had a boyfriend." "My sister's boyfriend is the son of an old comrade of my father," Zhao Youxun ignored him. Du Yan just said it for himself, "They have been together since childhood, and that young man is very capable. After returning from studying in the United States, he has now opened his own company. I don't know how much money he makes every year, but I believe that with his ability It will definitely make Xiaoyun live a good life. " Du Yan listened silently, remembering that Song Jiawen had mentioned the returnee named "Brother Hai Peng" before, and he knew that Zhao Youxun probably didn't lie to him. However, even though Zhao Youxun said so, he still had no choice but to give up Zhao Xiaoyun! "Brother Zhao, if you help me this time, will you ask me to give up Xiaoyun's conditions?" Du Yan looked at Zhao Youxun expressionlessly. His hand was already on the car door handle. His attitude was obvious. If Zhao Youxun If he says yes, he will immediately get out of the car and leave. Even if he cannot find Zhang Weimin because of this, let alone get no evidence of collusion between Geng Zhen and Ren Shuqiang, he will never compromise! Zhao Youxun looked at Du Yan's face. He took a deep breath from the cigarette, then pulled down the window and threw the remaining half of the cigarette out of the car. "I want to tell you that since you have decided to take this step, no matter what happens in the future, you will have no retreat." Zhao Youxun said lightly, "I have always hoped that Xiaoyun can live an ordinary life. I don't care about her future." What an amazing man, as long as he can make Xiaoyun live a stable life." Speaking of this, Zhao Youxun tilted his head and looked at Du Yan, "But I didn't expect that not only could she not be able to do this, but she could not even get a minimum status. Come. I know you have a girlfriend. You two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. Although she has a bad mother, your relationship is indeed very good. " Listening to Zhao Youxun's words, Du Yan's heart was secretly shaken. , he knew that Zhao Youxun would not give up on him and Zhao Xiaoyun so easily, and with Zhao Youxun's background and methods, let alone an ordinary person like Su Qian, he probably only had the details of some government officials. If he wanted to know, he would not be too concerned about it. Disaster. "Don't think I'm threatening you," Zhao Youxun glanced at Du Yan with an angry look on his face with slight dissatisfaction, "I won't do anything to your girlfriend, I'm just reminding you." "Remind?" Du Yan didn't He looked at Zhao Youxun in confusion. "Don't tell me what you asked me to help with is an honest matter. If that's the case, you can definitely approach someone from the Pingling County Bureau." Zhao Youxun said with a hint of ridicule. After a pause, he looked at Du Yan. "I'm very surprised, little one." Why would Yun fall in love with you? You look very honest on the outside, but in fact you are not only nimble, but also courageous and very realistic. " "But I'm not realistic enough to trade with Xiaoyun." Du Yan said calmly. said. "This is where I'm still willing to help you," Zhao Youxun snorted, then straightened his expression, "But Du Yan, let me remind you, since you have decided to do this, there is no way out. Although I don't know this What use does Zhang Weimin have to you, but you should also know that if what you are doing now is discovered, your future will be completely ruined." "I know," Du Yan nodded helplessly, so he didn't. This was the reason why he didn't want to use Zhao Youxun's power as a last resort, and he also vaguely wanted to avoid getting too entangled with the Song family. It is one thing to cooperate with the Song family, but if too many shady things are involved, it will be difficult to escape in the future. But now he really has no choice. If he can't grasp Geng Zhen's handle as soon as possible, then although Cui Jianbin's situation is not good, the important thing is that the situation in Pingling and even Taihua may be broken. ¡°The predatory restructuring of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory by Zhang Wenliang and his group, which Du Yan has been trying to prevent, is very detrimental. "You can take care of yourself." Zhao Youxun sighed. He didn't say anything but rolled down the window and looked at Sun Xiaopeng who was walking over outside the car. Sun Xiaopeng walked to the car and reported in a low voice: "Director Du, Captain, there is news. The target is in a house in the east of the town. It is a private courtyard." Hearing Sun Xiaopeng greet Du Yan first, Zhao Youxun showed an unnoticeable expression on his face Satisfied, Sun ??He loved Du Peng very much. If Zhao Xiaoyun hadn't begged for Du Yan so hard, he would have been reluctant to part with his capable subordinate. Now seeing that Sun Xiaopeng can adapt to his current status so quickly, Zhao Youxun feels somewhat comforted. "Keep an eye on the target and wait for the order to act." Zhao Youxun ordered and then turned back to Du Yan and said, "I think you should not show up. Didn't you say that you have reminded the county bureau that Zhao Aiguo may be in the new district? By this time, the criminal police team has probably arrived. If they are young, it is inevitable that they will not come to Liuliji. " Du Yan nodded silently. He knew that Zhao Youxun's guess was right. He was in the county not long ago, and now he appeared in Liuliji. Although he was paying attention as the director of the new district. There is nothing wrong with public security, but there will always be a time when Zhang Weimin's affairs will be revealed. At that time, once someone notices that he was in Liuliji at that time, things may turn out to be very bad. Several soldiers who had gone out had come back one after another, and Sun Xiaopeng drove his truck toward the east of the town along with the passing cargo vehicles. "You do have some skills," Zhao Youxun suddenly said to Du Yan as he looked at the scene along the way, "This place was not like this before." Hearing Zhao Youxun's praise, Du Yan only smiled slightly. He knew that although Zhao Youxun seemed to praise him for being in the new district Despite the work he had done, there was actually a hint of disdain in his voice. Perhaps in the eyes of people with profound backgrounds, he was just making a small fuss. The truck was parked on a slope some distance away from the yard where Zhang Weimin was imprisoned. From here, the scene in the yard could be seen clearly from a high position. Zhao Youxun took out a pair of military binoculars and looked at the yard through the car window for a while, then handed it to Du Yan. There was no one in the yard, except for a few chickens walking back and forth looking for food on the ground. It seemed very quiet. "Why is there no one?" Du Yan asked strangely. "No one is the problem," Zhao Youxun smiled calmly. "Have you not noticed that the doors in the yard are all closed. Looking at the topography of this place, you can tell that there must be no ventilation in the house. Isn't it strange that the doors are closed in this season? " After hearing Zhao Youxun's explanation, Du Yan nodded. He knew that he was really a layman in this regard. Seeing the excited look on Sun Xiaopeng's face, he couldn't help but whisper: "Xiaopeng, pay attention to your own safety, these people are all "Those desperadoes." "Thank you, Director Du," Sun Xiaopeng said with a naughty smile, "Don't worry, I will bring you both Zhang Weimin and myself intact." "Don't be such a mouthful," Zhao Youxun's voice changed. You have to be serious. "Tell the guys behind you to move quickly. In addition to the hostages, they mainly want to find the evidence that Director Du said." "Yes, Captain." Sun Xiaopeng straightened up and answered instinctively, then opened the car door and opened the door. After getting out of the car, the car behind them shook, and several soldiers in plain clothes spread out and quickly walked towards the yard down the slope. "Du Yan, remember what you said before," Zhao Youxun stared at the yard below and said to Du Yan at the same time, "Since you have decided to take this path, you'd better do something right, otherwise you will make Xiaoyun resentful for the rest of his life. I can't let her suffer." Just as Du Yan was about to reply, Zhao Youxun, who was holding the walkie-talkie tightly in his hand, suddenly issued a low command: "Act!" Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 58 The Wind Moves Because it was daytime and they were on the slope, Du Yan could clearly see the soldiers in plain clothes dispersed and walked towards the farmyard down the slope. But soon those soldiers disappeared. Du Yan looked out the car window anxiously and noticed that Zhao Youxun didn't seem very worried. This made him relax a little, but soon he frowned slightly again. "Are you thinking about how you will explain to the people in the Pinling County Bureau after you catch those people?" Seeing Du Yan frowning, Zhao Youxun asked. Du Yan shook his head slightly: "This can be done with any excuse. I was thinking about the impact of this matter." After hearing what Du Yan said, Zhao Youxun's lips curled up slightly: "Cui Jianbin is a famous softie. "It seems that Ren Shuqiang is going to kill Cui Jianbin this time." Du Yan glanced at Zhao Youxun strangely. He was slightly surprised at first that Zhao Youxun knew the situation in Taihua so clearly, and then he figured it out. The reason for this. It is obviously not unreasonable for the Song family to choose Pingling or Taihua as their front station for developing into the inland. It can be seen from Zhao Youxun's understanding of Taihua's political situation that the Song family's thoughts are not small. "Don't look at me like that. If you weren't sure, you wouldn't ask me for help." Zhao Youxun glanced sideways at Du Yan and said with a hint of irony, "I don't know you people who are in a chaotic government. You spend all day thinking about how to scheming." What about others, you have got the handle on Geng Zhen this time, are you going to take this opportunity to give him a good beating? " Hearing what Zhao Youxun said, Du Yan just shook his head and said, "I didn't think so," and saw Zhao Youxun immediately revealed. With a look of disbelief, he continued, "Actually, it's useless to use this incident to knock Geng Zhen. If he is determined to go to Ren Shuqiang's side, I will offend Ren Shuqiang as well. I can't offend him now." "What about the future?" Zhao Youxun seemed slightly interested, but in fact his tone was oppressive. "Don't forget that you promised Xiaoyun to let her live a good life. With your current status, you can't do it at all." Don't you have the qualifications to know?" Du Yan nodded. Although Zhao Youxun's words were unpleasant, they were true. Judging from Zhao Youxun's family background, even Du Yanming would feel wronged if she married Zhao Xiaoyun, not to mention that it was absolutely unimaginable that the two of them could not understand each other like this. Du Yan has always suspected that his cheap brother-in-law is up to some conspiracy. From the last time I heard that he was secretly preparing to find a boyfriend for Zhao Xiaoyun, it can be seen that although Zhao Youxun no longer said that he opposed his association with Zhao Xiaoyun, secretly he Maybe what kind of trick he is playing. Fighting with his brother-in-law is already a headache, not to mention such a fussy brother-in-law. Du Yan really has a headache. "You don't have to deal with them after they're caught," Zhao Youxun said through the car window, looking at the still calm courtyard below the hillside, "I'll have people send those gangsters to the Pingling County Bureau, just say they're my people." During the training, I accidentally heard that these people were arrested because they were related to the fugitives on the wanted list. As for the person you want, you can take care of it yourself. " "Zhang Weimin has Geng Zhen's handle. " Du Yanwei. Frowning his eyebrows, he was a little embarrassed. Although the evidence in Zhang Weimin's hand could prove what Geng Zhen had done, it would also involve him invisibly. Although the final result might be similar, Du Yan still I don¡¯t want to publicly stand against Ren Shuqiang at this time. ¡°After all, Cui Jianbin brought him back to replace Geng Zhen this time, which has caused a lot of discussion. If he exposes Geng Zhen publicly again, then Ren Shuqiang will obviously think that he is teaming up with Cui Jianbin to go against him. ¡° If he ruined Ren Shuqiang¡¯s good deeds, he might not be able to do anything to Cui Jianbin, but Du Yan believed that if Ren Shuqiang wanted to correct himself, it would definitely not be a problem. At that time, Cui Jianbin probably would not have the loyalty to stand up and speak for him. Du Yan didn't want Cui Jianbin to be too proud. This old fox seemed to be a useless loser with no ability as Zhao Youxun said. But Du Yan knew that it was just a disguise he gave people. What exactly was Cui Jianbin thinking in his heart? In fact, there was no such thing. A few people know. "And because Du Yan was quite sure of the future situation, he didn't believe that Cui Jianbin would be captured so easily. "Old Cui is hiding something secretly," Du Yan said to himself. So who should hand over the evidence in Zhang Weimin¡¯s hands? Du Yan's mind turned and he couldn't help but glance at Zhao Youxun. "What do you think I'm doing?" Zhao Youxun glared at Du Yan. "It's a bit too much to help you like this. You should understand that the army cannot interfere with local work." "It doesn't violate organizational principles to help introduce individuals." Du Yan asked with a smile. Zhao Youxun raised his eyebrows and asked:?: "Who do you want to see?" Du Yan lowered his voice slightly and said, "Minister Liang of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee." "Liang Benchu? Don't you know him?" Zhao Youxun asked strangely, "I heard that you and Minister Liang's secretary Chu Yi We have a good relationship with you, have we had dinner together? " Hearing what Zhao Youxun said, Du Yan felt a little uncomfortable. There was something behind his words. He seemed to know everything about him. Is this because of his sister or something? It was for some other reason that he paid so much attention to himself. And Zhao Youxun now told Du Yan clearly that he was staring at him, which made Du Yan feel unspeakably uncomfortable. "It's a pity that Du Yan can only keep this unhappiness in his heart because he has to ask for help from others." Just wait and find it back on your sister! Du Yan muttered in his heart. "I want to send Zhang Weimin to the provincial capital, so I need your people to help me." Du Yan said his purpose. "This matter involves a conflict between the main leaders of Taihua. I think the evidence should be handed over to No one from Taihua is suitable. " Zhao Youxun nodded. Although he felt angry when he thought about his sister, he couldn't help but slander Du, but when it came to serious matters, he calmed down. And for some reason, He was also very interested in the young man in front of him. In fact, if it were not for Zhao Xiaoyun, Zhao Youxun would really like to have a good relationship with Du Yan. After all, judging from some of the things he heard, this young man seemed to have attracted the attention of some people. "Okay, help people until the end." Zhao Youxun nodded, gestured, opened the door and got out of the car. Du Yan, who was getting out of the car, soon saw Sun Xiaopeng walking up the slope carrying an old-fashioned canvas schoolbag. The yard below looked still so peaceful from a distance, as if nothing had ever happened. "Director Du, I got something from Zhang Weimin, are you right?" Sun Xiaopeng handed the schoolbag to Du Yan, then turned to report to Zhao Youxun. " Du Yan glanced at Sun Xiaopeng with slight approval. He knew that Sun Xiaopeng's words meant that he didn't have to worry about the contents of his schoolbag being leaked. He turned around to avoid suspicion. Although the decision to take this action meant that Sun Xiaopeng and the others had to be exposed to these things, Sun Xiaopeng's wise attitude still reassured Du Yan a lot. But when Du Yan opened his schoolbag and took out a pile of documents inside, he couldn't help but have a strange look on his face. "What's wrong with something?" Seeing Du Yan's expression was different, Zhao Youxun walked over, but when he saw the photo Du Yan was holding, he was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "This Deputy County Magistrate Geng You really know how to play." Looking at the photos, which were slightly blurry, but the characters in them could still be distinguished, Du Yan couldn't help but shook his head slightly: "Old Geng, Old Geng, you really went too far with your office romance. "The people in the photo are Geng Zhen and Chu Lin. Judging from the photo, Chu Lin is obviously not threatened by Geng Zhen as Zhang Weimin said. Not only do both of them appear to be very involved, but they also have a lot of tricks. Du Yan flipped through other things, and his expression gradually became serious. The report from the heavy machinery factory was among them. Not only that, but to Du Yan's surprise, there was also a deposit certificate of 40,000 yuan in it. The name on the deposit slip is Chu Lin. "Where is Zhang Weimin?" Du Yan asked Sun Xiaopeng. "We locked him in another room alone," Sun Xiaopeng said, "We didn't explain our identities, and now he doesn't know whose hands he is in." Du Yan nodded approvingly, and Sun Xiaopeng's astuteness impressed him. He was very happy, and at the same time, he couldn't help but glance at Zhao Youxun with a hint of gratitude. Thinking that Zhao Youxun was willing to hand over such a treasure to him, Du Yan's previous dissatisfaction with this brother-in-law became lighter. "Xiaopeng, I have a task for you," Zhao Youxun ordered, "send Zhang Weimin to the provincial capital. I will tell you the specific location in a moment." "I will go back to the county first," Du Yan said to Zhao Youxun. At this time, he appeared in Liuli Ji is not suitable, and it would be a bit bad if someone with a heart sees it. "Thank those brothers for me. I will treat them to drinks when I have the opportunity." Zhao Youxun nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Xiaoyun may want to Come, come and see her if you have time. " Du Yan looked at Zhao Youxun in surprise. He didn't expect that his brother-in-law would tell him the news about Zhao Xiaoyun, but then he understood what Zhao Youxun was thinking. Since Zhao Xiaoyun is coming to Pingling, he will meet him no matter what. Since he can't stop him, he might as well let them meet. At least the two of them will not dare to mess around under their noses. After thinking about this, Du Yan¡¯s original gratitude to Zhao Youxun immediately disappeared. After agreeingAfter saying ??, I was secretly thinking that if I meet Zhao Xiaoyun again in the future, I must be careful about this all-pervasive brother-in-law. It was impossible to cover up the news that Zhao Aiguo had slipped through the net in a place like Pingling. By the afternoon, the entire county was already in panic. Looking at the police patrolling the intersection and the significantly increased number of joint defense teams, all kinds of rumors immediately started to spread. They flew everywhere in the county. When Du Yan returned to the county party committee compound, it was already dark. Seeing that the office building was still brightly lit, Du Yan shook his head secretly. Originally it was just an ordinary arrest operation, but because it involved the inspection of Governor Gao Ke, things suddenly became complicated. At this time, it is estimated that not many people in the entire county committee can spend the night quietly. Walking into the conference room, Du Yan coughed due to the strong smell of cigarette smoke. When he saw several people sitting around the table, Du Yan obviously felt a sense of dullness. As soon as he sat down next to Tu Xiangdong, Tu Xiangdong whispered to him: "The city leaders know what happened here. The Municipal Public Security Bureau has sent people down, and Mayor Ren also called to ask what happened." Du Yan Wei was stunned, but he didn't expect Ren Shuqiang to directly intervene in this matter at this time. Could it be that Ren Shuqiang knew that Zeng Zhenping had people threaten Zhang Weimin, and that it involved the wanted Zhao Aiguo, so was he prepared to intervene? " Du Yan thought for a moment and thought it was unlikely. With Ren Shuqiang's current status, it would be the most unwise move to get involved with a desperado like Zhao Aiguo. Even Zeng Zhenping and Du Yan did not expect to be directly implicated in Zhao Aiguo's incident. With Zeng Zhenping's many years of experience in society, he would not be stupid enough to stand in front when using dishonorable means. Yes, he will only pull the strings from behind, and if something goes wrong, someone will naturally take the blame for him. "Mayor Ren is very angry," Tu Xiangdong continued in a low voice, "It seems that the pressure in the city is not small." Du Yan nodded. He also felt that this was more in line with the facts. After all, Ren Shuqiang was still thinking about trying to break the law. Cui Jianbin should not be so insane as to be completely unscrupulous. Official strife and collusion with fugitive drug-trafficking criminals are two completely different things. It is impossible for Ren Shuqiang not to be able to distinguish the pros and cons. But just like this, the chance to take down Ren Shuqiang was gone, which made Du Yan secretly feel a little regretful. Feeling the solemn atmosphere in the conference room, Du Yan could also guess that this period of time could be said to be the most difficult for both Li Peizheng and Guo Songlin. After all, a wanted criminal registered with the Ministry of Public Security escaped in Pingling. This was a major mistake by the Pingling County Bureau in any case. In addition, it happened to be the eve of Gao Ke's inspection. Even the city would feel great pressure. of. "What's going on with the County Public Security Bureau?" The silence in the office was suddenly broken, and Li Peizheng's voice echoed in the room, "A major drug dealer wanted by the Ministry of Public Security actually slipped through the net despite the full efforts of our Pingling County Bureau to arrest him. How does the work of the Public Security Bureau work? What responsibilities should the main leaders bear? " Listening to Li Peizheng's accusation, although he did not mention it by name, Guo Songlin snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and said in a deep voice: "The drug dealer ran away. This is indeed a very serious problem, especially at this time, but we all know that the person in charge of the county bureau was the one who made the temporary arrest decision. Director Liu was attending the Standing Committee at that time. The responsibility in this regard must be held accountable The person directly responsible who was present at the time should also be held accountable. "Isn't the usual work just to be effective at this time? It seems that the usual work is not done enough, which affects the action at the moment of war." Ding Bingxian said calmly. "It seems that we still need to strengthen the political and legal work, especially the business capabilities of some powerful departments. With the development of the economy, this aspect is indeed becoming more and more important, and we need to increase efforts and investment." Guo Songlin is a little strange He glanced at Ding Bingxian. He didn't know why Ding Bingxian suddenly said such a set of words. These words seemed to slap Liu Laofa on the butt, but inside and outside the words, they seemed to be adding more responsibilities and powers for the future work of the Political and Legal Committee. . But even if Ding Bingxian and Li Peizheng are not completely on the same side, when did he become able to speak for him, Guo Songlin? What medicine is sold in Ding Bingxian's gourd? The atmosphere in the conference room became a little strange. The things that happened in the past two days made people feel a little confused. In addition, so many things happened from morning to night, which made people feel really confused. clue. Since the direction of the wind is a bit strange, it¡¯s better to say less and wait and see what happens before deciding what to do. The conference room fell into silence again. "This Zhao Aiguo must be caught." Li Peizheng said solemnly, his eyes passing over the faces of several people, and he was secretly thinkingI felt a little angry secretly. As Guo Songlin said, although the arrest failed, Liu Laofei always had to bear certain leadership responsibilities, but Liu Laofei did not know when the decision was made. This alone was enough for Liu Laofei to escape a The pursuit of major leadership responsibilities, and Li Peizheng had also vaguely heard of it. The relationship between the deputy director of the county bureau, Lao Hu, who ordered the criminal police team to arrest Zhao Aiguo, and Liu Laofei did not seem to be very good. It seems that this time Lao Hu not only failed If he can take the opportunity to spar with Liu Laofei, he might even let Liu Laofei take the opportunity to overthrow him, and then completely control the County Public Security Bureau in his own hands. Thinking of this, Li Peizheng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Although he knew that he shouldn't consider these issues at this time, he still couldn't help but think about how to think of a way to deal with this matter, so as not to let Liu Laofei take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and let Guo Songlin borrow the money. Regarding this matter, he completely took the initiative. "This matter must be investigated strictly. Whoever has the problem will be held responsible. We will never tolerate it." Guo Songlin seemed to not want the matter to end just like that. His tone gradually became tougher. "This Zhao Aiguo can act in the criminal police team." Did someone tip him off before? Who knows the specific actions? This needs to be investigated strictly!" Guo Songlin's words made everyone in the conference room secretly surprised. Some people immediately thought, maybe This time, Old Hu from the county bureau will be in bad luck. Du Yan sat at the end of the table and listened silently to Guo Songlin's speech. He never expected that an operation that was supposed to go smoothly would have such a big flaw. He heard Guo Songlin say that he would strictly investigate those involved in the operation. people, he thought of more. Lao Hu was able to make up his mind to mobilize the criminal police team to carry out an arrest operation when Liu Laofei was away. This was of course because he saw that this was an opportunity to make a contribution and show his face, and also because of Wang Lianyi's suggestion. If Lao Hu is dealt with, Wang Lianyi and even Sun Xiaopeng may be involved. Thinking of this, Du Yan couldn't help but look up at Ding Bingxian. Ding Bingxian happened to look at him at this time. Facing Du Yan's eyes, he shook his head calmly. Du Yan looked at Ding Bingxian strangely. At this time, he was also a little strange about Ding Bingxian's purpose like Guo Songlin. At least Ding Bingxian's previous speech was obviously very beneficial to Liu Laofei, who was about to serve as the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. Although there was no relationship between Ding Bingxian and Li Peizheng It's not as close as Du Yan thought before, but there is no need for Ding Bingxian to lean towards Guo Songlin. A sound of footsteps came from outside, and people couldn't help but look towards the door. When they saw Mr. Liu coming in with sweat all over his face, they all looked concerned. "Director Liu, thank you for your hard work. How is the situation?" Li Peizheng asked. As the secretary of the county party committee, no matter what he thinks, when faced with this kind of thing, he cares more about the outcome than anyone else. "Secretary Li, I'm here to review." Liu Laofei's attitude was very low when he came up, but his words stopped in Li Peizheng's ears, but made him feel indescribably annoyed. "The county bureau has now mobilized All the police and joint defense teams have been mobilized, and the entire county's traffic arteries have been controlled. However, because the criminals are very cunning, there is no news yet." At this point, Liu Laofei took off his hat and wiped his greasy forehead. "I want it. I want the leaders of the county party committee to review this matter. I failed to control and direct this matter in time, which resulted in the criminals escaping. I hope the leaders of the county party committee and the municipal bureau can deal with my mistake. " "Old Liu, can't you say that? , you were in a meeting at the time. Although it is understandable that the relevant leaders of the county bureau dispatched the criminal police team to arrest the criminals without notifying you because of the emergency, but after all, there was a mistake in the operation, and who should be responsible is still responsible," Liao Kun interjected from the side, "If something goes wrong, the leader must be responsible. If there is a problem with the specific work below, it will be fine. Then everyone here can't run away? How can we do the work? Don't you think so, Secretary Li?" Looking at it Liao Kun had a smile on his face, and Li Peizheng snorted with a gloomy look. Now he felt more and more that his situation was becoming more difficult, with Guo Songlin pressing closer and closer, Ding Bingxian's ambiguous attitude, He also heard about the various impacts of possible personnel changes in the city, which made Li Peizheng feel unprecedented pressure. "Old Liu, it's up to you whether the criminal can be caught." Guo Songlin frowned and said after taking a puff of cigarette. Although this incident seemed to have little impact on Mr. Liu, and he was still a man who could make Mr. Liu Fei took this opportunity to take control of the entire county bureau, but because the time was wrong, Guo Songlin still hoped to settle the matter as soon as possible. After all, it was not a good feeling to have Gao Ke weighing heavily on his heart. "The comrades sent by the city bureau estimate that you will arrive soon, Haba," Liu Laofei did not dare to go too far at this time. After all, he had certain leadership responsibilities for Zhao Aiguo's escape, and now he was about to be promoted. When he was secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, although he was secretly glad that Lao Hu's decision-making without authorization was a great help to him, Liu Laofei also felt somewhat sad in his heart.Some uneasiness: "The city bureau sent all the elite soldiers and generals. As long as Zhao Aiguo is still in Pingling, we will definitely catch him." After Liu Laofei finished speaking, he laughed out of habit, but his words were A thought flashed through the minds of several standing committee members present, "Even if they are criticized by their superiors, as long as Zhao Aiguo is really no longer in Pingling, it may not be a bad thing." But this thought just flashed through the minds of several people, Li Peizheng His secretary Xiao Yu hurried in: "Secretary Li, the comrades sent by the Municipal Public Security Bureau are here." Li Peizheng immediately stood up and took the lead to greet him out. In the corridor, several men in casual clothes were waiting, headed by a middle-aged man in his early forties. Seeing Li Peizheng, he first stretched out his hand: "Secretary Li, excuse me." "Director Deng personally led the team here, which reassures me a lot." Li Peizheng shook hands with the middle-aged man, and then he turned back He introduced to the Pingling cadres following him, "Everyone, come and meet me. This is Director Deng of the Public Security Department of the Municipal Bureau." "Secretary Li, Director Deng is now the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau and the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade." A criminal policeman next to him He whispered a reminder. "Oh, that's great. Director Deng is here in person. This shows the municipal bureau's support for us in Pingling." Li Peizheng smiled, and at the same time glanced at Mr. Liu who was following behind with a slightly ugly expression. Fat. The Municipal Public Security Bureau sent a deputy director who is also the captain of the criminal police team to Pingling. This shows that Taihua City attaches great importance to this matter. It seems that Liu Laofei is not so easy to get away with. The people from the Municipal Public Security Bureau were very serious. After just saying hello to the Pingling cadres, they immediately asked Liu Laofei to introduce the specific situation to them. Looking at the police officers who were obviously much more capable than the county criminal police team, Pingping The cadres in Ling could only smile bitterly at each other and wait for the good news. According to the plan, Du Yan was originally supposed to return to the new district that day, but due to a sudden accident, as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, he had to attend an emergency meeting because of problems that might arise later, so he had to stay in the county seat. Because news spread quickly in a small county town, when Du Yan walked into the house, he saw Sang Shulan with a nervous look on his face. "Xiaoyan, hasn't the criminal been caught yet?" Du Zhenhai frowned and asked during the meal, "Should we mobilize the entire county's militia to look for him together? If this was not possible before, it would be impossible to catch him now that the city is full of trouble. There are rumors everywhere, and some people say that it was reported by someone from the Public Security Bureau. " "Yes, Xiaoyan, I heard that the wanted criminal is a big drug dealer, and he still has a gun. After all, Can you catch him?" Sang Shulan asked anxiously. Because her son was the leader of the county party committee, she naturally thought that this matter had something to do with her son. The failure to catch the criminal would of course have a great impact on her son. "Mom, don't worry, it's not that serious," Du Yan comforted his mother, "It's just a drug dealer. Besides, the city has sent many experienced police officers, and the results should be there soon." "That's good, now outside It¡¯s really scary.¡± After hearing what her son said, Sang Shulan felt relieved and started eating. But just after taking a few bites, he was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the phone. Du Yan walked over and picked up the phone, and Tu Xiangdong's voice came over the phone: "Director Du, I have something to tell you. City leaders will come to the county to inspect tomorrow morning. Please make preparations." "Thank you. "Director Tu." Du Yan replied. He couldn't help but feel a little strange when he put down the phone. Tu Xiangdong didn't give him any hint on the phone. If it wasn't for the difficulty of speaking, then Tu Xiangdong didn't know who the leader was who was coming to inspect. intention. Just as he was thinking about it, the phone on the table rang again! Du Yan picked up the phone, and Ding Bingxian's slow and thin voice rang out: "Xiao Du, have you heard that there are leaders from the city coming down tomorrow?" "I heard about Secretary Ding," Du Yan responded. "Xiao Du, be prepared. There may be some personnel changes in Pingling." Ding Bingxian said this in a calm tone. Du Yan was slightly silent. Although he already knew that the situation in Pingling would undergo some major changes recently, when it really happened, it still seemed a bit unexpected. Putting down the phone, Du Yan thought about it carefully. Although it was no secret that Taihua City had always wanted to make adjustments to Pingling's personnel arrangements, there were too many things involved, so the noise on the stairs had always been heard but no one was seen. Come down. Even the appointment of Liu Laofei as Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee has been delayed again and again, with Ding Bingxian serving concurrently. This shows that various parties seem to be still competing with each other, and there is no final result. But now, Taihua City is on the eve of Gao Ke coming down for inspection.The decision was made, which made Du Yan realize that not only the game about Pingling personnel may have finally come to an end, but also that Gao Ke, after serving as the provincial governor for more than a year, finally began to issue A precursor to my own voice! On the morning of April 30th, Du Yan, who arrived at the county party committee compound early, saw Tu Xiangdong in front of the office building from a distance. Because no one else had arrived yet, except for those who were rushing back and forth to greet the city leaders, Among the staff, Tu Xiangdong was the only one who was pacing back and forth on the second step of the office building with his head lowered as if checking hygiene. Seeing Du Yan, Tu Xiangdong nodded, and then glanced at the street outside the county party committee compound. In fact, when he arrived, Du Yan had already noticed that there was a police car parked at the intersection in front of the county party committee compound. This had never happened before. As time passed slowly, the cadres who participated in welcoming the leaders of the municipal party committee also arrived one after another, but it was different from usual, because what happened the day before had already spread, so people's mood seemed to be a lot lower. When they saw Liu Laofei with a tired face, people's eyes couldn't help but look a little strange. As for Geng Zhen¡¯s appearance, the atmosphere in the entire compound became very strange. Because Geng Zhen was on suspension, he was not supposed to participate in such reception work, so his appearance immediately attracted people's attention and triggered a series of speculations. But Geng Zhen didn't seem to care about other people's eyes. He stood alone in a corner of the yard, neither talking nor looking at others. Du Yan noticed that Geng Zhen's eyes were always involuntarily, whether intentionally or unintentionally. He drifted towards a window on the right side of the county party committee office building, which was the confidential room of the county party committee office. At nine o'clock in the morning, a Duke drove into the Pingling County Party Committee compound. As the car stopped, Shao Jun, member of the Standing Committee of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Organization of the Municipal Party Committee, slowly got out of the car. The person who got out of the car with him was Chu Yilan, who was dressed in light gray professional attire and looked calm and capable. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 59 Deputy County Magistrate Chu Du Yan's lips twitched when he saw Chu Yilan getting out of the car with Shao Jun, the organization director of the municipal party committee. As if sensing something, Chu Yilan looked up and saw the vague smile on his face. Led by Li Peizheng, Pingling¡¯s cadres shook hands with Shao Jun and Chu Yilan in sequence. Although it was no secret that Chu Yilan was about to take up the post in Pingling, it was still a mystery what position she would hold. But now that they see Geng Zhen, who is suspended from his post, appearing, people can vaguely guess the outcome. When Chu Yilan walked up to Du Yan and Du Yan smiled and stretched out his hand to hold it with Chu Yilan, this scene aroused the attention of people around him. Chu Yilan is twenty-eight years old this year. She was once known as the youngest deputy director-level cadre in Taihua, but her record was broken by Du Yan! In a small county, having a division-level cadre under thirty years old is already a matter of great concern. If two appear at once, and it seems possible that they are both members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, this is enough to arouse people's attention. Discussed. Director Xiao Du has long been known for not suffering losses, but Deputy Secretary-General Chu is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. Not to mention her apparently tough backer, she herself, during her time as deputy secretary-general of the Taihua Municipal Committee, has allowed many people to see her capable and sophisticated side. " Such two young cadres who can be said to be in the limelight met together, but it made people around them secretly wonder, what is so good about Pingling, why do they have to gather in this corner? "Welcome, Secretary-General Chu." Du Yan said with a smile, but this time he didn't hold on to Chu Yilan's little hand like he did last time, and he could also feel that Chu Yilan's hand and He immediately retracted as soon as he touched her, and at the same time, she couldn't help but show a look of vigilance on her face, as if she was really afraid that Du Yan would catch her again and try her best to get rid of her. "Director Du, we meet again so soon," Chu Yilan showed a faint smile, "I thanked you for your help in Shencheng before." Hearing Chu Yilan take the initiative to mention Shencheng, Du Yan looked at it curiously Look at her. Speaking of which, after returning this time, he truly discovered that Chu Ping's energy was much greater than he imagined. At least about what happened between him and Chu Yilan in Shencheng, I haven't heard any rumors in Pingling so far. Although I know that such things can always be hidden, some rumors will come out one day, but Chu Yilan Yilan happened to come to Pingling at this time. If it wasn't for some changes in the city, it was because the Chu family knew that even though there might be some rumors, they still didn't take this little thing to heart. Is this because Chu Ping is too confident, or is he using this to show that the Chu family still has overwhelming power in Hexi Province? Du Yan felt a little confused. Chu Yilan himself took the initiative to mention the matter of Shen Cheng, which made Du Yan somewhat surprised. At the same time, he also secretly felt that Chu Yilan was coming from a bad person. At least Chu Yilan clearly showed a strong side. "Secretary-General Chu is too polite. It's just a little effort." Du Yan responded casually and then realized that his reply seemed a bit off. Sure enough, Chu Yilan's originally smiling face paused slightly at first, and then slowly Slowly sank. Looking at Chu Yilan who walked away, Du Yan gave a helpless smile. He didn't expect to see Secretary-General Chu again so soon, and they would soon work together. This made Du Yan suddenly feel The things he had done in Shanghai suddenly became a little less embarrassing. Chu Yilan sitting on the rostrum is very attractive. In fact, she is quite a celebrity in the entire Taihua officialdom. She is young and beautiful. It is said that she has a strong backer and was the youngest deputy director of Taihua. level cadre. Any one of these points is enough to attract the attention of others in the officialdom. If they are combined together, it will be difficult not to raise the topic. Shao Jun, the Organization Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, sat in the center of the rostrum. He held a document in his hand and read in a calm voice, "That is Chu Yilan's resume." Hundreds of pairs of eyes under the rostrum were paying attention to Shao Jun at this time. , but if you look carefully, you will find that most of the people are looking at Chu Yilan who is sitting next to Shao Jun, or they are looking at Geng Zhen who is sitting next to Ding Bingxian. Geng Zhen¡¯s face was very calm. Under the gaze of many people in the audience, he remained calm. It was only when he saw a pair of concerned eyes among the many gazes that his expression showed a slight fluctuation that was not easy to detect. "According to the resolution of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, Comrade Chu Yilan is appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee and the executive deputy county magistrate of the county government" After reading this, Shao Jun paused and heard a soft murmur from below. , he turned slightly to look at Li Peizheng, who was sitting next to him. Li Peizheng raised theThe master made a quiet move, and the venue immediately fell silent. This effect satisfied him, so he turned back to Shao Jun and nodded with a smile. "Comrade Geng Zhen, the former member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and Executive Deputy County Magistrate, will no longer serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Committee and Executive Deputy County Magistrate." Shao Jun continued to read the document in his hand. When he heard another whisper coming from below, he slowly raised his head to read. Looking at the venue, "Comrade Chu Yilan, please introduce yourself now." "Comrades, hello everyone" Seeing Chu Yilan start to speak, Du Yan, who was sitting on the far right, looked at the audience, and soon he I noticed that among the cadres below who were listening attentively to Chu Yilan's speech, there was one person whose attention was always focused on a certain person on the stage. This person was Chu Lin, and she was naturally paying attention to Geng Zhen. Du Yan sighed slightly. No matter what happened between Geng Zhen and Chu Lin, or whether there was any deal involved, the appointment from the city was the worst news for them. Geng Zhen can no longer stay in Pingling, at least now there is no suitable position for him in Pingling. And no matter what name he is transferred under, it is definitely not a good thing for Geng Zhen. This can be seen from Shao Jun's personnel announcement. After announcing Geng Zhen's whereabouts "no longer responsible", there is no Coupled with the seemingly conventional but very important words "other appointments", this in itself is enough to arouse a lot of speculation. Then after Shao Jun read out the appointment, he directly asked Chu Yilan to speak, but did not give Geng Zhen made even the smallest comment on his work in Pingling! What this means to anyone with even a little experience in government work is already very clear, not to mention that these cadres who can sit here, although they are only the lowest group in this huge system, are also the mess in this system. The most slippery group. So at this time, the cadres below not only no longer cared about Geng Zhen's whereabouts, but also didn't even take a look, so as not to let a leader on the stage accidentally see it and think that they sympathized with Geng Zhen. The injustice is over. Looking at Chu Lin in the audience, Du Yan felt helpless. Chu Lin was undoubtedly a young, beautiful and easily noticeable girl, but these advantages have now become her fatal flaw. Seeing that someone had noticed Chu Lin's strange expression, she thought that the ambiguous relationship between Geng Zhen and her would spread out soon, and Du Yan didn't believe that their ambiguous relationship was really so secret that no one would discover it. Geng Zhen was the powerful executive deputy county magistrate before, so except for Zhang Weimin, a man who was greedy for profit and had special thoughts about Chu Lin, of course everyone else just discussed it secretly in private, but Chu Lin's life will obviously not be easy in the future. . "I hope to work with my comrades, under the leadership of the Pingling County Party Committee with Secretary Peizheng as the squad leader, to work hard for the development of our Pingling and the lives and future of the 300,000 Pingling people!" Chu Yi Lan's voice rose, and when she said the last sentence, the venue immediately burst into applause! When Du Yan slowly raised his hands and clapped along, he noticed that Guo Songlin, who was sitting close to him, had a slightly gloomy face. In Chu Yilan's speech, he only mentioned the county party committee represented by Li Peizheng, but did not mention the county government headed by Guo Songlin, and Chu Yilan himself happened to be the executive deputy county magistrate. This cannot help but make people think about this. He was confused about what kind of changes the arrival of Deputy County Magistrate Chu would bring to Pingling's officialdom. Shao Jun did not speak again after announcing his appointment. After watching Li Peizheng deliver another welcoming speech on behalf of the Pingling County Committee to welcome Chu Yilan's arrival, Shao Jun made a brief gesture and then left accompanied by Li Peizheng. venue. However, just as he stood up and passed by the member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee who was farewelling him on the left, Shao Jun stopped in front of Geng Zhen. He looked at Geng Zhen briefly, and then said calmly: "Comrade Geng Zhen , The leaders of the Taihua Municipal Committee are still satisfied with your work, so I hope you can perform better in your future work." After saying that, Shao Jun turned and walked down the steps of the rostrum. At this moment, everyone's eyes followed Shao Jun's movements. Only Geng Zhen, after listening to Shao Jun's words, stood blankly on the rostrum, staring blankly into the air. What is there is just a blank. Shao Jun did not stay in Pingling for long. Although Li Peizheng repeatedly urged him to stay after lunch before leaving, Shao Jun still insisted on leaving. In fact, no one was in the mood to eat at this time. Chu Yilan's arrival had already caused too much speculation, especially because it was so vague about Geng Zhen's whereabouts, which made people talk a lot. Seeing the cadres of the Standing Committee of Pingling gathered together, Geng Zhen showed a bitter smile. He was once so high-spirited that he never thought that heGeng Zhen couldn't help but feel desolate when he saw the way people around him looked at him and how they immediately avoided him after making slight contact. "County Magistrate Geng, why don't you go back and rest first? I think you don't look good." Tu Xiangdong walked over slowly. At this time, there was no need to pretend anymore. Seeing that Geng Zhen looked wrong, he walked over and said lowly Geng Zhen was reminded, "Don't be anxious about work matters now. You can talk to County Magistrate Chu when you have time." Listening to Tu Xiangdong's seemingly well-meaning, but actually quite obvious eviction order, Geng Zhen felt something in his heart. He couldn't express his anger, but he also knew that Tu Xiangdong was doing this for work, and he was also trying to find a way out of his embarrassing situation. Seeing Geng Zhen and Tu Xiangdong walking out of the county committee courtyard with lonely expressions after saying a few words, Du Yan couldn't help but look at Chu Lin who was standing in the corner not far away. Seeing the same desperate look on Chu Lin's face, Du Yan couldn't help but He shook his head slightly. The reception banquet for Chu Yilan was held at the county party committee guest house. No one said a word about Geng Zhen¡¯s absence due to physical discomfort. In everyone's mind, although it was only a few hours apart, Geng Zhen was already a thing of the past. Regardless of their previous relationship with him, what people are more concerned about at this time is the young and beautiful female deputy county magistrate who has just arrived. This is the warmth and warmth of human relationships in the officialdom. Although it seems cruel, it is very realistic. While drinking, Du Yan got to see Chu Yilan's tough side. Although she was somewhat cared for because she was a female cadre, at least the other members of the Standing Committee had to drink, and Chu Yilan was obviously there too. She had quite a lot of experience at the wine table, so after thanking everyone for their casual kindness that Li Peizheng had warned her about in advance, she still drank until the wine was dry and clinked a full glass with several members of the Standing Committee. But when she passed the few people in front of her and was about to raise the small wine glass in her hand to clink it with Liao Kun, she was suddenly stopped by Liao Kun. "Deputy County Magistrate Chu, you were a guest before, and everyone wants to welcome you. Now that we have been drinking this wine for a while, we are all from Pingling," Liao Kun said, picking up a bottle from the table. The large cup was slowly filled, "This wine is considered to be the proof that Deputy County Magistrate Chu has officially become a member of our Pingling people. How about it?" Chu Yilan's sharp eyebrows raised slightly, although she thought of being on the wine table. It was inevitable to be embarrassed, but she didn't expect Liao Kun to be so aggressive when he came up, which made her feel a little unhappy. But looking at Liao Kun's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and seeing the eyes of the people next to her, she still stretched out her hand. He took the wine glass. "Old Liao, County Magistrate Chu can't drink that much, so don't embarrass others." Li Peizheng said with a seemingly casual smile, and at the same time looked at Chu Yilan. Although he vaguely knew Chu Yilan's background, he didn't know the details. But he didn't know clearly. It was just Chu Yilan's speech at the appointment meeting that won him a little favor. Although he didn't know why Chu Yilan showed support and intention to get closer to him as soon as he arrived in Pingling, but If he could have a member of the Standing Committee who was close to him at this time, it would be like giving timely help to Li Peizheng. "Secretary Li, what are you talking about? I don't dare to embarrass County Magistrate Chu. I have to ask Magistrate Chu to take care of him from now on." Liao Kun said with a gentle smile, and then said to Chu Yilan who was holding the wine glass, "Chu It doesn't matter if the deputy county magistrate can't drink. Take your time. We will have plenty of opportunities in the future." Ding Bingxian watched this scene silently, but he didn't want to stop it. Although she had previously served as deputy secretary-general of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, for Chu Yilan, serving in Pingling was her first real work at the grassroots level, and this kind of grassroots work in the district and county is definitely different from the seemingly stable municipal party committee building. It is different. It can be said that this level of officialdom is a microcosm of the entire domestic officialdom. If Chu Yilan can't train and beat in grassroots institutions at the district and county level, not only Ding Bingxian will no longer be optimistic about her, but her father Chu Ping will at most find a position for her where she can be promoted safely in the future. I won't put too much hope in her anymore. Listening to Liao Kun, who smelled of alcohol, this sounded casual, but not only continued to talk about it, but even hinted at ambiguous words, Chu Yilan nodded calmly: "Minister Liao, this is really difficult for others, but just say That's right. Since you're from Pingling, you should say that I'll do it first as a token of respect." With that said, Chu Yilan slowly raised the wine glass to her lips, paused for a moment, and then drank it all in one gulp! "Okay!" Liao Kun cheered, but at the same time, he first glanced at Guo Songlin, who was standing beside him with a smile and said nothing, and then glanced at Propaganda Minister Lao Xu. Seeing the look in Liao Kun's eyes, Lao Xu picked up another filled cup from the table, but before he could pick it up, Du Yan, who was standing next to him, suddenly bumped his shoulder. The wine in it was immediately spread all over the floor! "Oh, I'm sorry, Lao Xu," Du Yan saidHe touched his forehead and shook his head, "Look, I can't hold it anymore after just two drinks." As he spoke, Du Yan took a step forward and raised a wine glass of the same size towards Chu Yilan, which he poured slowly. "County Magistrate Chu, Minister Liao's cup is to announce that you are officially from Pingling. My cup is to wish you success in your future work and life in Pingling. His cup is to lift the lid, which is a preview. Mine is Just think of it as a drink for County Magistrate Chu today, how about it?" Du Yan said with a smile while placing the wine glass in front of Chu Yilan. Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan with some surprise. Although she heard that Du Yan's words vaguely meant to seal off the wine road for her, but looking at the full glass of green fruit wine, she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. . It's just that although the people next to her are watching, Du Yan always has good intentions. What's more important is when she thinks of the phone call her father made to her before coming, and the fact that she can take up a post in Pingling today instead of after Gao Ke's inspection. The real reason was that Chu Yilan took the wine glass handed over by Du Yan and raised it to her lips while holding her breath! When the wine entered her lips, a trace of surprise flashed across Chu Yilan's face. She glanced at Du Yan, who had a half-smile on his face, but then drank the wine in one gulp. Seeing Chu Yilan finish drinking, Lao Xu was about to step forward, but at this time Ding Bingxian had already stood up. He was holding a cup of tea in his hand, but he smiled softly at Chu Yilan: "Yilan, someone else's The wine you drink is to catch the wind for you, and my cup of tea is to sober you up." As soon as Ding Bingxian said this, the atmosphere around him couldn't help but freeze! As the third-in-command of the Pingling County Party Committee, Ding Bingxian has always made a very weak impression on people. Many people even tend to ignore him as a full-time deputy secretary responsible for the party and the masses. But now, in front of so many people in Pingling, Ding Bingxian spoke in this tone to a newly appointed member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and the Executive Deputy County Magistrate, which obviously meant to announce to others that we are one of our own. ! With just this sentence, everyone present could not help but wonder, is Ding Bingxian finally going to take action? At this time, with people around her watching with different expressions, Chu Yilan took the wine glass handed over by Ding Bingxian and drank the tea in the cup in small sips. "Thank you, Uncle Ding." Chu Yilan's answer made the people around him even more stunned! Standing next to Chu Yilan, smelling her strange smell mixed with green fruit wine and a ray of light perfume, watching her and Ding Bingxian's performance that was obviously like a double act, Du Yan couldn't help but feel that he had used Mixing boiled water with green fruit wine for Chu Yilan to drink seemed a bit unnecessary. It seems that when Chu Yilan came to Pingling this time, not only did she not intend to keep a low profile, she even showed her trump card from the beginning. Because she is a female leader, many places are indeed inconvenient. For this reason, Tu Xiangdong specially found a waitress from the county guest house to be assigned to Chu Yilan. Then at the end of the banquet, Tu Xiangdong found an opportunity to introduce the waitress to Chu Yilan. . Seeing that Chu Yilan seemed to be quite satisfied with his arrangement, Tu Xiangdong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. For him, it was really difficult to be the director of the county party committee office. Although he pretended to be a county party committee leader, he was actually just a person. As the housekeeper of the county committee, it is a problem for any mother-in-law to take good care of her, not to mention a mother-in-law like Chu Yilan who has a great background and is not a good person at first glance. Although there were people helping to hold back the drinks, Chu Yilan could control herself at first because of a few more drinks, but later she became a little dizzy. After the cadres around her shook hands and said goodbye, she chatted with Li Peizheng in the lounge again. After a few words, he found an excuse to leave. It wasn¡¯t until she walked out of Xiaozhao¡¯s cafeteria and walked onto a path leading to the residence behind that Chu Yilan began to feel a slight dizziness. "Mr. Chu, would you like to take a rest first?" the clever-looking waitress next to her asked timidly. This young girl named Zhang Meng never thought that she would be assigned to work next to County Magistrate Chu. When she heard that she would be responsible for the life of a county party leader, Zhang Meng was nervous but couldn't help being excited. After all, she had heard about it before. Some of the previous waiters suddenly turned into golden phoenixes because they had served the boss. However, they did not expect that this boss was not only a woman, but also so young and so beautiful. This suddenly turned this man into a phoenix. The girl felt a little lost. "No, I'm just a little drunk, just slow down a little." Chu Yilan shook her head. Even if she vomited, she had to go back to her residence and vomit behind closed doors, otherwise this person would be in great disgrace, let alone a female cadre. Chu Yilan firmly remembered her father¡¯s teachings before leaving. When she arrived at the local level, the first thing she had to do was to remember that she was a county-level cadre, and at the same time forget that she was Chu Ping¡¯s daughter! Chu Yilan thought so, gritted her teeth and endured the discomfort in her heart and continued?Go forward. Different from other male leaders, because Chu Yilan is a female cadre, her residence must not only be comfortable, but also consider convenience. In addition, Chu Yilan came in a hurry, so when arranging a residence for her, Tu Xiangdong was very careful. It took a lot of thought. After careful consideration, Tu Xiangdong temporarily arranged Chu Yilan's residence in a house behind the county committee's Xiaozhao. Because it was quiet, it was the place where Li Peizheng lived temporarily. After Li Peizheng moved, there was no one else here. Lived. Several other houses behind the county party committee's Xiaozhao are still occupied by several old leaders who have retired from the county. Almost all of them live together with their families. Although they no longer hold leadership positions, due to their years of influence and the friendship they left behind, But no one really wanted to ask them to move away. After all, doing so would not only make the old leaders hate them, but would also make the current leaders have opinions. Once a person leaves a snobbish and mean impression on the leader, it will be really bad. Chu Yilan¡¯s residence is separated from other houses by a row of bamboo fences that are as high as one person. Because it was the place where Li Peizheng lived before, the size of the house is relatively spacious. It happens that Geng Zhen lives on the other side of the fence. ¡°However, Geng Zhen will be leaving office soon, so there will be no embarrassment like the meeting between the two former executive deputy county magistrates. In Chu Yilan¡¯s eyes, Pingling¡¯s tricks of the county committee are of course incomparable with Taihua¡¯s tricks, but she doesn¡¯t care about them. Chu Yilan is very clear about her father's expectations for her. Liao Kun's behavior at the banquet had already made her feel that her visit to Pingling would not be smooth sailing. She thought of the reminder that her brother Chu Yijun had given her before, and that although she and her father Chu Ping had not said it clearly, they vaguely wanted her. An exhortation to work hard in Pingling, a place favored by all forces. Because of this, although she felt that she would definitely face a lot of pressure when she came to Pingling this time, and even a very strong opponent, Chu Yilan also knew that this was indeed a great opportunity to make a difference. Zhang Meng stopped in front of a house with two rooms. She took out the key in the dark and opened the door. At this moment, there was a "Bang!", and a dull but deafening sound suddenly sounded from the house on the other side of the fence! Chu Yilan was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Someone shot!" Volume 4 "Volume 3: The Official Sails" Chapter 60: Murder in the County Committee Courtyard Not only had Chu Yilan seen a gun, but she had also shot it several times herself. So Zhang Meng was so frightened by the loud noise that she just let out an exclamation. After the shock, Chu Yilan instinctively pushed hard and crashed into the house with Zhang Meng! The unusually loud gunshots at night also alerted other people in the courtyard of the county party committee¡¯s family members. When many people were still wondering what happened, the first person to react was Dong, the Minister of Human Resources and Military Affairs who lived not far ahead! "It's a gunshot!" Old Dong, who was playing chess with Du Yan, jumped up from his chair almost as soon as he heard the gunshot. He listened in amazement for a moment, and then gestured to Du Yan, The two of them ran to the door together. "Is it really a gunshot?" Du Yan couldn't help but feel shocked. Looking at the horrified look on Lao Dong's face, the two of them couldn't help but flash at the same time, "Zhao Aiguo?!" Lao Dong turned around and walked back into the house. He grabbed the phone on the table. No one could have imagined that there would be shootings in the courtyard of the county committee's family members. When he thought that the courtyard was filled with cadres from the county committee and county government, a layer of sweat broke out on Lao Dong's head. . "County bureau? Send someone to the county committee's family home quickly. Someone is shooting here. Send someone over immediately!" The old Dong who dialed the phone angrily shouted into the phone, "Who am I? I am Dong Xueqin!" After the call ended, Lao Dong grabbed his clothes and waved to Du Yan. The two immediately went out and looked in the general direction where the gunfire came from. When he walked out of the yard, the old Dong took a few steps forward and got ahead of Du Yan. He did this even though he knew it was a gunshot and that a dangerous drug lord might be nearby. Du Yan couldn't help but feel somewhat moved. "It should be those houses in front," Lao Dong looked at the houses in the shadows in the distance under the dim starlight, then turned back to Du Yan and said, "Director Du, go to the entrance of the hospital and have a look. Wait. The people from the county bureau have arrived and brought them in. " "Mr. Dong, we are all here, so of course we should go take a look." Du Yan shook his head. He knew that Old Dong meant well, but he couldn't be grateful. Just leaving Old Dong alone and running behind him, not to mention looking at the direction indicated by Old Dong, thinking of the place Tu Xiangdong told him about the accommodation arranged for Chu Yilan, Du Yan couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart. . If something happens to Chu Yilan in Pingling, not only will Chu Ping, her father, not be able to let it go, but even Gao Ke, who has just been promoted to governor, will not agree! It can be said that with the sudden appointment of Pingling in advance, Chu Yilan has become the spokesperson of Chu Ping or Gao Ke in Taihua. ¡°And if something happens to such a newly appointed executive deputy county magistrate, let alone Li Peizheng, who can¡¯t afford it, even the top leaders in Taihua City will not be able to handle it if they don¡¯t take off a few black hats. "Okay, let's go together, but you must listen to my command!" Old Dong, who had a military style, made a decision after hesitating for a moment. He led Du Yan forward along the shade of the roadside trees, and at the same time some Regretfully, he whispered, "It's a pity that the guns are in the Armed Forces. It would be nice if they were brought out." "Are you sure this is the place?" Du Yan couldn't help but feel nervous as he looked at the faintly flashing lights in the darkness in front of him, and lowered his voice to the old man. Dong asked. "That's right, it shouldn't be far from here." Sweat could be seen on Lao Dong's forehead. No one would have thought that someone was shooting in the courtyard of the county party committee's family members, because no one realized that it was a gunshot for a while, so the courtyard It still seems very calm here, but once someone discovers it, there will definitely be chaos. The old director looked at Du Yan again. He felt that he should have insisted on letting Du Yan stay behind. If it was Zhao Aiguo who had sneaked into the county committee family home as feared, everything would be really troublesome! Seeing Old Dong open his mouth again, Du Yan immediately realized what he was going to say, but at this time, he had no chance to retreat no matter what. He looked at the two buildings in front of him, one in light and one in darkness, standing behind a bamboo fence not far away. In the house, Du Yan shook his head towards the old Dong: "Mr. Dong, we are all here, there is nothing to say." The old Dong nodded silently. He knew that what Du Yan said was indeed the truth. At this time, even if he wanted to retreat, he could not There was no chance. If someone really shot in those two houses, as the county's armed forces minister, he had the responsibility to do something to protect the safety of everyone in the county party committee's family home. Old Dong walked slowly forward from the shade of the tree with his waist bent. The quality of many years of military training was reflected at this time. Looking at Old Dong's slightly slow but extremely cautious movements, Du Yan, who was following behind, could only In my heart, I secretly hoped that nothing would happen to Chu Yilan. ??A figure suddenly flashed behind the closed curtains of the shining house opposite. The old Dong immediately leaned down and gestured to the person behind him.Yan Yan squatted down. At this time, Du Yan could feel his heart pounding. The nervousness made him feel a little chilly, but there was also a hint of excitement in it. He knew that although his current move was a bit dangerous, it was a rare and harmonious one. The opportunity for Lao Dong to deepen the relationship is different from the previous political cooperation between the two. The relationship after experiencing this extraordinary situation is definitely much stronger. "That's Geng Zhen's house." Old Dong whispered to Du Yan. At the same time, he turned back to look at Du Yan. Geng Zhen had just lost his position as deputy county magistrate during the day. Now, a shooting incident suddenly occurred nearby. This made Old Dong immediately Thinking too much. "Look!" Du Yan suddenly whispered. Old Dong followed his gesture and immediately saw that the originally closed curtains of Geng Zhen's house seemed to have been slightly torn open, and the light leaked out from inside. It was vaguely visible. I saw a figure peeking out from behind the curtain. At this moment, a sound of sirens sounded faintly from far to near. "He's from the county bureau." Old Dong's voice was filled with the relief of exhaling a breath. Only then did he feel the pain in the muscles in his body that were always tight due to excessive tension. "Let's wait first and let the county The people from the bureau will handle the matter here. ""It seems like something happened to Geng Zhen's family?" Old Dong said in a low voice as he looked at Geng Zhen's window and closed the curtains immediately because he heard the sirens. Du Yan frowned and looked more towards Chu Yilan's residence in the darkness next to Geng Zhen's house. The piercing siren broke the night. People in the county party committee family home who had been alarmed by the inexplicable loud noise before saw the roaring police car could not help but come out of their homes to see what was going on. Speaking of which, it has never happened before that a police car went on such a rampage in the courtyard of a family member of the county party committee. For a while, people couldn't help but talk in the distance. "What's going on?" Guo Songlin walked out of his house and stared angrily at an elderly policeman who had just got out of a police car. "Deputy Director Hu, how did the people from the county bureau get the county party committee?" The Family Court is here, what are you doing? " "Report to County Magistrate Guo, it was Minister Dong who gave the instructions to the county bureau." Lao Hu, the deputy director of the county bureau, ran up to Guo Songlin and saluted, and then he lowered his voice. The voice reported, "This is County Magistrate Guo. Minister Dong said on the phone that a shooting incident may have occurred in the courtyard of the county party committee's family members. After receiving the call from Minister Dong, I came over with my comrades from the nearby criminal police team. "Shooting? Was that shooting just now?" The look on Guo Songlin's face froze. He never expected that something like this would happen suddenly. It was impossible for the old director to give orders randomly like this. Thinking of the inexplicable yet vaguely unsettling sound that had just occurred, the look on Guo Songlin's face immediately turned ugly. "Then what are you waiting for? Deal with the problem immediately." "Yes, County Magistrate Guo!" Hu stood at attention again and turned around to leave. Although he knew that Guo Songlin's anger towards him was somewhat unjust, at this time, Lao Hu himself wanted to avoid Magistrate Guo immediately. After all, the roundup of Zhao Aiguo during the day failed. It was already very embarrassing for him, especially when he thought about his actions of mobilizing the criminal police team without telling Liu Laofei during the day, Lao Hu felt even more uneasy. Everyone knows that Liu Laofei is a member of County Magistrate Guo. Lao Hu naturally does not want Guo Songlin to mention his failed roundup during the day at this time. If Liu Laofei really takes the opportunity to catch him, then it will be Oops. "Turn off the siren and lights!" Guo Songlin behind him suddenly shouted in a low voice, "You still think the matter is not big enough, don't you?" "Yes, turn off the sirens and lights immediately!" After reacting, Lao Hu immediately told the detective The team members ordered, and sweat was already visible on his forehead at this time. In fact, after receiving the report and hearing that a shooting incident might have occurred in the courtyard of the county party committee's family members, he who was nearby almost immediately thought of Zhao who was absconding. Patriotic, in order to rush to the scene as soon as possible, even though he knew that such publicity might arouse the dissatisfaction of the county party committee leaders, he still asked the criminal police team to turn on the sirens and lights, and rushed over like they were desperate. After all, if this happens again, Let Liu Laofei take the lead. Not to mention the position of director that he has always been thinking about, even the position of deputy director may not be guaranteed. But just after Lao Hu¡¯s order, a police car quickly drove into the county party committee¡¯s family home. Before the car came to a complete stop, Liu Laofei had already opened the door and jumped out of the car with difficulty. "Director Liu, you came just in time," Guo Songlin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mr. Liu, who didn't trust Lao Hu. "Immediately take control of the scene and be careful not to let any idle personnel get close. Remember this place." The county party committee will not allow any mistakes. "Please don't worry, County Magistrate Guo, I know what to do!" Liu Laofei nodded.He glanced back at Lao Hu who was standing behind him, and started to arrange it without paying any attention. At this time, Guo Songlin looked at Li Peizheng, who had just heard the news and rushed over because he lived a little far away. A faint smile flashed on his lips, and then he walked over to Li Peizheng and explained to him what had just happened. In the chaos, no one noticed that a vigorous figure quickly dodged the numerous police officers running back and forth and the crowd of onlookers, and then ran towards the depths of the family courtyard under the cover of darkness. Old Dong, who was relieved when he heard the siren, gestured to Du Yan to go back. At this time, they were indeed no longer needed. At this moment, Du Yan suddenly saw Sun Xiaopeng, wearing a joint defense uniform, flash out from the shadow of the trees. "Director Dong, Director Du," Sun Xiaopeng said hello. Seeing Old Dong looking at him, Sun Xiaopeng said smartly, "Director Du, Director Wang came here with Director Liu and the others. He asked me to take a look first." Hearing Sun Xiaopeng say this As soon as he mentioned it, the old Dong no longer paid attention to the relationship between Wang Lianyi, the director of the West Market Office, and Du Yan, which was almost universally known. Seeing Sun Xiaopeng, Du Yan's heart was relieved. He took the opportunity to talk to Sun Xiaopeng to slow down, and then whispered a few instructions. Sun Xiaopeng nodded immediately. He glanced at Geng Zhen's house not far away, then deliberately raised his voice and responded quickly before turning around and leaving. When Liu Laofei saw Lao Dong, he was stunned for a moment because he saw Du Yan standing with Lao Dong, and then he caught up with him in a few steps. "Mr. Dong, I rushed over after receiving the report from the bureau. Can you tell me about the situation?" Liu Laofei asked the old director. At the same time, he did not forget to nod to Du Yan. Regarding Du Yan's recent situation, Liu Laofei was very aware of the subtle changes that had taken place in the Standing Committee and the evolving situation of the entire Standing Committee, so at this time he thought it was best to make peace with Du Yan. Old Dong gave a brief introduction. Although he was careful not to directly point out that something happened to Geng Zhen's family, Liu Laofei quickly understood from his words. "Minister Dong, Secretary Li and the others are here. I'll go over first." Looking at Li Peizheng and other county party leaders approaching from a distance, Du Yan whispered, and he greeted Li Peizheng and his party. past. "What happened?" Li Peizheng frowned and asked in a low voice. He never expected that so many things would happen in one day, and all of this happened just before Governor Gao Ke came down for inspection. This made Li Peizheng There is even an illusion that disaster is imminent. "It seems something happened at Deputy County Magistrate Geng's house." Du Yan whispered. At this time, there was naturally nothing to cover up. There was such a big commotion outside, but the curtains at Geng Zhen's house were tightly closed and there was no movement at all. No, he didn't even answer the phone. It was obvious that something had happened. ¡°County Magistrate Chu lives next door to County Magistrate Geng.¡± Tu Xiangdong, who had just arrived with sweat after hearing the news, suddenly whispered something in a low voice because he lived a little far away, which surprised several people around him. "What happened! Who arranged this?!" Even in the darkness, you can see Li Peizheng's face ashen. "If something happens to Comrade Chu Yilan, all of us in the Pingling team will be blamed!" "Secretary Li, do you want Director Liu to order the criminal police team to take action immediately?" Propaganda Minister Lao Xu looked at Li Peizheng with a pale face. Although he and Li Peizheng had never been together, the words Li Peizheng just said were a perfect blow. Playing into Lao Xu's weakness, if something happened to the well-established Deputy County Magistrate Chu just after he took office, it might be a disaster for the entire Pingling team. , When he thought that his future might not be guaranteed, at this time, Lao Xu really wished that Secretary Li would immediately show up with the decisive spirit of Qiankun and do something big no matter what. Guo Songlin secretly glared at Lao Xu. He was not happy with Lao Xu's reckless behavior. At the same time, he saw that Lao Xu was slightly shaken at the slightest disturbance and even placed his hope on Li Peizheng. This made Guo Songlin Songlin was even more dissatisfied with him. "Secretary Li, County Magistrate Guo," Liu Laofei hurried over, "We have deployed our manpower and are waiting for orders." "Are you sure something happened to Comrade Geng Zhen's family?" Li Peizheng asked again. . "It seems to be correct now, but I don't know what's going on inside" Liu Laofei replied. Before Liu Laofei finished speaking, suddenly, with another loud "bang" coming from the direction of Geng Zhen's house, the approaching members of the criminal police team immediately threw themselves to the ground! "Fire!" "Get down!" "Back off!" There were shouts everywhere for a while. People were either squatting down or hiding in a panic. Even cadres who were far away couldn't help but hide. Behind the police car beside him.   "People outside, listen, you Deputy County Magistrate Geng is in my hands, as well as him and his concubine!" A hoarse shout came from the house, "If you don't want them to die, withdraw the siege immediately!" "The house The people inside have been surrounded and you can¡¯t escape. Surrendering can win leniency from the government¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Liu Laofei shouted loudly with the microphone but was interrupted by another gunshot! ¡°Don¡¯t waste time, we¡¯ve all played this before!¡± As the curtains flashed, two figures standing close together suddenly appeared in the window. "It's Zhao Aiguo!" Although he had already guessed it, Liu Laofei couldn't help but let out a low cry. No one expected that Zhao Aiguo not only escaped from being tightly rounded up, but even hid in the home of Geng Zhen, the executive deputy county magistrate. What was even more unexpected was that the person Zhao Aiguo used as a shield was actually It¡¯s Chu Lin, the clerk in the archives office of the county party committee, whom many people know! The figure flashed and immediately disappeared behind the window. For a moment, the faces of Pingling cadres became extremely ugly. The appearance of Zhao Aiguo at Geng Zhen's house made people extremely passive, and a young woman was actually involved in this matter. When the commotion has reached this point, people are really speechless. "What's going on with County Magistrate Chu?" Li Peizheng suddenly asked in a low voice. Looking at the current situation, no matter what the outcome is, Geng Zhen's future should be considered completely over. In this case, the one who should really be concerned about is naturally Chu Yilan, who is much more important than him. "Because it is too close to Magistrate Geng's house, our criminal police comrades just went in from behind to take a look," Old Hu, who had been following behind, said inexplicably, "But there is no one in the house, it is empty." "What? No one?" Li Peizheng couldn't help being surprised. He looked back at Tu Xiangdong who was also surprised, and then asked Lao Hu, "Are you sure that the comrades from the county bureau have searched everywhere and there are no omissions?" " We have searched for them all, and the ones sent there are all old detectives." Old Hu was also sweating on his forehead at this time. When he saw several leaders staring at him with meaningful eyes, he thought for a while and shook his head, "Mr. Chu. It shouldn't be with County Magistrate Geng, otherwise Zhao Aiguo would have threatened County Magistrate Chu. "County Magistrate Chu only took office today, and Zhao Aiguo didn't know her," Guo Songlin said with a livid face. Hearing Guo Songlin¡¯s words, the expressions of several people also became ugly. It's scary just thinking about it, so Geng Zhen can let it go. After all, he is destined to be a loser, but if Zhao Aiguo catches Chu Yilan, it will be a completely different matter! Even if Chu Yilan can be rescued safely in the end, the impact is irreversible. What's more, with Zhao Aiguo's madness, if he really does something crazy, it will almost turn Hexi upside down. Got it! Liu Laofei, who was negotiating with Zhao Aiguo in front, suddenly ran back. His face was covered with sweat, and his police uniform even stuck to his fat body. "The gangsters asked us to provide them with vehicles and 100,000 in cash." Liu Laofei gasped and reported. "This is absolutely impossible!" Guo Songlin suddenly said, "No matter who is caught by them, they cannot let them go. This is related to the stability of our Pingling society. No matter who or what happens, we cannot destroy the overall stability of Pingling society. This can't be ambiguous!" Li Peizheng nodded silently. He and Guo Songlin had a surprising agreement on this matter: "We must not agree to their conditions, Lao Liu. If necessary, let the comrades of the criminal police team take violent measures." "Yes. !" Liu Laofei responded in a muffled voice. At this time, the safety of Geng Zhen and Chu Lin had become insignificant in the face of the so-called overall situation! During the arrangement, everyone held their breath, but Du Yan was not nervous at this time. He knew that if Chu Yilan had really been kidnapped by Zhao Aiguo, then Sun Xiaopeng would definitely come and report to him, and Zhao Aiguo would The reason why he lurked at Geng Zhen's house was probably because he wanted to use Geng Zhen and Chu Lin's affairs to blackmail them. Therefore, from the beginning, Zhao Aiguo's targets were only Geng Zhen and Chu Lin. As for the consequences for Zhao Aiguo and Chu Lin, although he could also imagine that there might be many unknown stories between those two people, it was no longer Du Yan's concern at this time. It all started so suddenly! As the figures flashed in the darkness ahead and a burst of fierce gunshots suddenly rang out after the door was broken, people's hearts suddenly tugged together! The gunshots stopped for a short time. When Mr. Liu ran over with excitement on his face, several people asked him almost at the same time: "Is County Magistrate Chu inside?!" "No, County Magistrate Chu is not inside!" Liu Laofei replied with a heavy breath, and then paused for a moment before saying, "However, both County Magistrate Geng and that woman were killed." "That's right," Li Peizheng said with a smile.He was startled for a moment, and then asked such a rhetorical question without knowing the meaning. "There were two gangsters inside, and we have already killed them, but before that they shot at County Magistrate Geng and the others." Liu Laofei reported with regret on his face, "This is the dereliction of duty of our county bureau, we did not Protect County Magistrate Geng, Secretary Li and County Magistrate Guo. I ask the county committee to punish me. However, the comrades in the county bureau are all good. Please the county committee" "You have done a good job," Li Peizheng sighed. He looked back at Guo Songlin next to him, and for a moment Du Yan saw the meaning of "this is fine" in the eyes of both people. ¡°But where is County Magistrate Chu now?¡± Tu Xiangdong, who had been nervous all the time, suddenly asked loudly, which made everyone startled again. "I'm here!" As a clear voice sounded, Chu Yilan suddenly appeared not far behind people. Behind her, Ding Bingxian was walking over slowly. "I just went to Secretary Ding's house to accompany him for a walk. I'm really sorry for delaying such a big thing." Chu Yilan explained to the Pingling cadres who looked at her with different expressions, but when her eyes met Du Yan's At this time, a strange look flashed in his eyes. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 61 Another Deal Three cars slowly drove into the Pingling County Party Committee Courtyard. Seeing the gloomy look on Ren Shuqiang's face who got out of the second car, the atmosphere in the already unusually quiet County Party Committee Courtyard couldn't help but become a little more tense. Coming in the same car with Ren Shuqiang was Lao Su, the Propaganda Minister of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee. However, this Propaganda Minister, who looked more like an old scholar, did not have the style of a municipal party committee leader at this time. He was the kind of person who followed Ren Shuqiang. His silence was worse than that of the deputy secretary-general of the municipal government who hurriedly got out of the car in front to take care of everyone. Seeing Ren Shuqiang, Shao Jun, the Municipal Party Committee Organization Minister standing side by side with Li Peizheng, walked over first. Shao Jun drank too much the day before, so he stayed in Pingling for the night, but because of this, he also caught up with the bad luck the night before. Although Ren Shuqiang was domineering and even looked down upon Cui Jianbin, who was the secretary of the municipal party committee, he had a good attitude in front of the county cadres below. Looking at Shao Jun with bloodshot eyes, Ren Shuqiang walked up and extended his hand. Hold tight to him. "Thank you, Lao Shao!" "Mayor Ren, it's great that you came here." Shao Jun said this in a low voice, but it was enough for people behind him to hear. Listening to Shao Jun's words, the cadres in Pingling couldn't help but have their own thoughts. After shaking hands with Shao Jun, the look on Ren Shuqiang's face that had just softened immediately turned gloomy. He looked coldly at the Pingling cadres headed by Li Peizheng behind Shao Jun, and then passed through the people who greeted him without saying a word. , strode into the county committee building. In the conference room, Ren Shuqiang sat in the middle. His eyes slowly flashed across everyone's faces. Although he didn't speak, the suffocating gaze already made people feel nervous and secretly frightened. After glancing around, Ren Shuqiang¡¯s eyes finally rested on Liu Laofei, who was sitting in the back row against the wall. "Comrades from the county bureau, can you tell me more about the specific situation at that time?" Hearing Ren Shuqiang suddenly call his name directly, Liu Laofei was stunned for a moment and then stood up immediately. He did not expect that Ren Shuqiang came up without asking anyone else, and even the city sent When Director Deng arrived, he asked the question to himself first without even asking. At this time, if he didn't look familiar in front of the mayor, he would be sorry for himself. Thinking like this, Liu Laofei was also excited and immediately replied in a nervous tone: "Report to the mayor, the specific process of the case is like this" "Wait a minute, I don't want to listen to the criminal investigation class," Ren Shuqiang said Liu Laofei interrupted, "I just want to know if you found anything unusual in the process of solving this vicious case. For example, what is the relationship between Comrade Geng Zhen and those gangsters? The one who was killed on the spot at the same time What does the woman have to do with this matter?" Hearing Ren Shuqiang's question, Liu Laofei immediately felt sweat on his forehead, and the hearts of everyone in the room were beating fast! Does Ren Shuqiang really want to use this incident to completely show off with Cui Jianbin? "Report to the mayor. The specific situation is being investigated. Some of the situations are not clear yet, so" Liu Laofei's voice became dry. Only now did he realize that this familiar face was not just a random person. , if the timing is wrong, it won¡¯t do any good, otherwise it may be a mess. "Mayor, we found some evidence at the scene, proving that this matter seems to be related to people within the county bureau." Lao Deng, the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and as soon as he spoke, everyone was surprised! "Internal problem?" Ren Shuqiang looked at Lao Deng, "Can you tell me about it here?" Very early, and judging from our situation at the crime scene, although the gangsters fled in a hurry, they only escaped from the hiding place after being prepared. This is obviously because someone called them in advance to inform them. Because of this That's why they were able to escape early." Lao Deng suddenly stopped when he said this. His eyes glanced at someone sitting far away from the table, and then said, "According to the records from the county telephone office, the calls they answered. It¡¯s from Pingling New District.¡± As soon as Lao Deng spoke, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became tense! People couldn't help but look at Du Yan. Lao Deng¡¯s words made Du Yan stunned for a moment, and then his heart moved. The call to Zhao Aiguo was made from the New District? Who could that be? The first thing that came to Du Yan's mind was that someone from Zeng Zhenping's Jinding Company office in the New District tipped off Zhao Aiguo. Speaking of Zeng Zhenping's social background, even though he himself had not been directly involved in the underworld at this time, he and The relationship between the underworld is definitely not that simple, not to mention that in Du Yan's memory, Zeng Zhenping a few years later seemed to be?Taihua is a character who takes both black and white. So if he was involved with someone like Zhao Aiguo, Du Yan wouldn't be surprised at all. But this idea only passed through Du Yan's mind for a moment, and then he rejected it because it was not Cui Jianbin who came this time, but Ren Shuqiang. ¡° If the people from Jinding Company were really directly involved in Zhao Aiguo¡¯s escape in this matter, then with Ren Shuqiang¡¯s almost overwhelming power in Taihua, it would be impossible not to hear the news immediately. So, the purpose of Ren Shuqiang coming to Pingling this time must be to get Zeng Zhenping or Zeng Jing out of trouble. In this case, no matter which way Lao Deng leans, it is unlikely that he will talk to such a person directly in front of Ren Shuqiang. I went to the district and county cadres to get Jinding Company involved. Sure enough, just as Du Yan thought this, Ren Shuqiang had already asked: "Old Deng, are you saying that someone is tipping off the gangsters in the New District?" Looking at the gloomy but unchanged expression on Ren Shuqiang's face, Du Yan felt that he I have vaguely guessed some possibility. "Director Deng, are you sure about the situation you introduced?" Ren Shuqiang asked. "It's certain, and our city bureau sent people to the new district overnight to conduct an investigation." After saying this, Lao Deng showed a slightly relaxed smile on his capable face. "The investigation process went smoothly, although the person who reported the report had strong objections. Detective ability, but he probably didn¡¯t expect that the gangster would be discovered so quickly and failed to escape in the end. Therefore, based on the records of the telephone office, we have found the place where the call was made and the specific suspect. It is estimated that the city bureau¡¯s Comrades have already carried out the arrest operation. "Lao Deng suddenly turned to Liu Laofei, who was looking at him in shock, and said, "I'm sorry, Director Liu, because we didn't notify the comrades in the county bureau in advance because of the need to handle the case." " Director Deng, what are you saying? This is necessary for work needs," Liu Laofei forced a smile on Lao Deng. He never expected that things would suddenly develop like this, but when he thought of Lao Deng's previous remarks about leaking information, It was someone from within the county bureau. Liu Laofei couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart. After hesitating for a while, he finally summoned up the courage to ask in a low voice, "Director Deng, can I ask who the suspect is?" "Okay, "Lao Deng simply agreed and then turned to Ren Shuqiang and said, "We found out that the person who tipped off Zhao Aiguo was Guo Yunping, the director of the New District Police Station." Liu Lao's fat face suddenly froze! He looked at Lao Deng in astonishment. At this moment, he even forgot to close his mouth that had grown unexpectedly. "Mayor Ren, based on the various evidences found at the scene by comrades from the municipal bureau, Guo Yunping not only informed Zhao Aiguo, but also provided him with information in order to help Zhao Aiguo protect himself when he might not be able to escape Pingling. Regarding the situation of some leaders in the county, Zhao Aiguo decided to take a desperate risk and sneaked into the County Party Committee Family Courtyard and took extreme measures to kidnap Comrade Geng Zhen when he was desperate. This only appeared because Comrade Geng Zhen reacted violently at the time. The accident of shooting led to the failure of Zhao Aiguo's plan. " Listening to Lao Deng's seemingly inference, but his tone was already revealing the certainty of the case, Du Yan, who was sitting far away, couldn't help but shake his head secretly. The facts are obvious. No matter what Geng Zhen has done before, it is an indisputable fact that he is Cui Jianbin. Geng Zhen¡¯s death was so mysterious and dishonorable that it was a big blow to Cui Jianbin personally, the Pingling County Committee and even Taihua City as a whole. On the eve of Gao Ke¡¯s arrival, not to mention Cui Jianbin, even Ren Shuqiang can be said to be quite passive in the face of such a thing. For Ren Shuqiang, this is related to Zeng Zhenping's Jinding Company. If we really dig deeper, the Zeng family may not be involved, and it may even involve Ren Shuqiang himself. So in the face of this situation where cooperation brings both benefits and division brings two harms, Cui and Ren made a complete deal, and the only victim of this deal was Guo, the elder of the New District Police Station who tipped off Zhao Aiguo! "Comrades, it seems that the details of the case are now clear, but this is not enough." Ren Shuqiang nodded to Lao Deng. His voice was still low and full of pressure. The slightly relaxed atmosphere of Fan's narration became depressing again. "Regarding Comrade Geng Zhen's funeral, the city will have a solution, but before that, both the city and Pingling must be cautious in handling this matter," said Ren Shuqiang, sitting aside. Lao Su, the Propaganda Minister of the Municipal Party Committee who remained silent, said, "Minister Su, I will trouble your Propaganda Department on this matter. A county party committee leader was murdered at home, and there was a young woman present at the time. If such news spreads, , what will the superiors think of our Taihua cadres???What will the crowd say? At this time, both the city's and Pingling's propaganda departments must have the same voice and the same caliber. What do you think, Lao Su? "Yes, Mayor Ren's instructions are very clear. We should correct some wrong rumors. This is the responsibility of our propaganda department," Lao Su nodded. He looked at Pingling Propaganda Minister Lao Xu in the distance. "What we have to do now is to vigorously promote the positive role of Pingling, not only to suppress various negative rumors about this incident, but also to establish a new image. " "Governor Gao Ke will be coming down soon. This is the first time that Governor Gao has visited the grassroots level since he took office. This is a top priority for both Taihua and the districts and counties below," Ren Shuqiang's His tone gradually became tougher, "I can clearly tell all the comrades here that Governor Gao's inspection is related to the future development of our two counties and one district in Taihua City. If anyone creates unstable factors at this time, , no matter who he is, no matter what his motives are, if he is a cadre, he must be resolutely captured. If he is an ordinary person, he must take necessary measures and never allow any unstable factors to affect the current situation of our Taihua's unity and development. ! " Ren Shuqiang stopped here, with a hint of gloomy sharpness in his eyes. At this moment, even Guo Songlin, who had been following him closely, couldn't help but feel suddenly startled and secretly uneasy. "Ren Shuqiang was not in Pingling. How long he stayed without even eating. He left by car before noon. The person who left with him was Shao Jun, the Propaganda Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, but Lao Su, the Propaganda Minister, stayed behind. He wanted to discuss it with Lao Xu, the Propaganda Minister of the County Party Committee. , at this time, how to use the propaganda machine to try to restore the possible negative effects, but all this is obviously in vain. Murdered! And a young and beautiful woman was killed with him! Such explosive news has spread in the small county of Pingling in less than a day! This is obviously the most important thing! Explosive news that stimulates people's curiosity, and as the news spreads more and more widely, the various versions of the content become more and more bizarre. Even later, no one really cares about the truth of the matter, but only cares about the truth. The various stories that have been circulated so miraculously that Guo, the elder of the New District Police Station, were secretly arrested by people from the Municipal Bureau in the morning and sent directly to the city. During this period, the New District Police Station even discovered him at noon. Lao Guo was nowhere to be seen until he received a call from the county. This news immediately made the whole new district agitated! Many people had always known that although Lao Guo was the district police station chief, it seemed that he was still alive. I didn't really listen to Director Xiao Du's words. Now that something big happened to Lao Guo all of a sudden, many people who didn't know the truth couldn't help but think about it. For a while, "You can't offend Director Xiao Du, otherwise you can't offend anyone." The rumor that "you may not even be able to save your head" spread in the new district. Of course, the happiest person when Lao Guo was arrested was Chen Siyou. After hearing the news, Chen Siyou immediately found the director of the district committee office Hu Weiping. Looking at Chen Siyou's excited face, Hu Weiping poured a cup of tea and drank it alone. "My Director Hu, Uncle Hu, please give me a message," Chen Siyou said. He almost begged and said, "You don't know why Lao Guo imprisoned Zhu Laowen before. Isn't it obvious that he was targeting Director Du and us? Now that Lao Guo has imprisoned himself, why are you still here?" Why don't you quickly go to the police station and ask them to release Zhu Laowang? " Looking at Chen Siyou's anxious expression, Hu Weiping slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, and then said calmly: "Siyou, do you think it is appropriate to let Zhu Laowen out at this time? Seeing Chen Si stunned, Hu Weiping continued, "The county must be in a mess now. We still don't know what happened to Lao Guo, so the best thing for us at this time is to do nothing. When it gets more chaotic, The more you have to stay calm. Don't forget that Director Du is still in the county. His lack of call means that things here may not be that simple. " "What can happen? " Chen Siyou said something impatiently. Just when he was about to say something else, the door suddenly opened from the outside. What was a little surprising was that Chen Si, the old party secretary of Daqing Township, who had not shown up at the county party committee office for a long time. Lao Gang stepped in. "Uncle Lao Gang, why are you here today? What's wrong? "Hu Weiping immediately stood up and greeted him. At this time, Hu Weiping was just grateful for the old secretary who had suppressed him for nearly ten years. "Weiping, you didn't make the decision to release Zhu Laowen, did you? "Chen Laojie said while glaring at the person next to him.Chen Siyou, when he saw Chen Siyou opening his mouth to speak, Chen Laogan raised his hand and slapped him on the head, "You are so ignorant. Fortunately, I went to your place to look for you before. I heard that you came to Weiping." I knew you were restless when you came here." "Why are you hitting me?" Chen Si was annoyed but did not dare to talk back. He could only keep mumbling, "Lao Guo has already gone in. He was just trying to stop Zhu Laowen. Isn't it a good time to find trouble?" "You know what the hell!" Chen Laogong's anger was suddenly aroused by Chen Siyou. "It's better to do less than to do more at this time. Lao Guo is going to arrest him, and he will be arrested soon. Investigate his past affairs, and when the working group comes down and asks, if you let Zhu Laowen go without permission, how will you explain it at that time? Don't think that it will be fine if you let him go because it was Lao Guo who caught him. You have to be careful, do you understand? If you really cause big trouble for Director Du, see how I deal with you." "How come there are so many poor people" Chen Siyou still muttered, but his voice was obviously lower. Young Master, after seeing the look from Hu Weiping, Chen Siyou immediately took advantage of the opportunity and ran out of the office. Seeing Chen Siyou walking out, although he still didn't admit it, it was obvious that he was already a duck with a rotten mouth. Chen Laoji couldn't help but sighed. Then he turned back to Hu Weiping and said, "Weiping, I didn't look. It's your fault, you didn't have a fever this time. This kid is still too young, you, the uncle, should take more care of him from now on." "Uncle Old Gang, it's like you said it, if you hadn't been protecting him for so many years. If you look at me, I might have caused trouble a long time ago," Hu Weiping said with some emotion, "To be honest, I really thought you couldn't get along with me before, but now it seems that I was indeed young and impulsive at that time, and I was not as good as you. After years of training, I may still be unable to change my bad temper. " "That has nothing to do with me, it's because you are the material." Chen Laoji laughed, sat down and asked in a slightly lowered voice, "Wei. "Ping, the county is in such chaos now, and Director Du is not here. You are the only one who can keep things under control in the district. You can't mess up." "I know the old uncle," Hu Weiping nodded, and then he pondered for a moment. Finally he asked, "Uncle Lao Gang, how many years have you been working as a grassroots secretary? Can you tell us about our Pingling" Chen Lao Gang raised his hand slightly to stop Hu Weiping, thought for a moment, and looked at Hu Weiping looked like he was asking for advice. Chen Laogan thought for a while and then said: "It seems that the sky in Pingling is going to change." Du Yan was sitting on the second floor of Liyuju, talking to Sitting with him, in addition to Wang Lianyi, director of the station police station, and Shen Hefu, the owner of Liyuju, there was also Sun Xiaopeng, who rarely appeared. " Letting Sun Xiaopeng appear publicly in his small circle was Du Yan's decision after careful consideration. Although he had previously thought about keeping Sun Xiaopeng's secret chess low-key and only using it when needed, from the Geng Zhen incident, Du Yan discovered a more important reality, that is, no matter what was used secretly Such means, when faced with an opponent with absolute strength, these small means are often completely vulnerable. In the current environment, both Cui Jianbin and Ren Shuqiang are undoubtedly figures with absolute strength. Therefore, it is precisely because of this that they can decide something of their own will regardless of the facts once they decide what to do. The so-called truth. Even though everyone knows how false these truths are, in the face of the joint strength of a municipal party secretary and a mayor, they can only let them make their own decisions and take whatever they want. Of course, Du Yan also knows that it is impossible for Cui Jianbin and Ren Shuqiang to shake hands and make peace through this incident. On the contrary, the struggle between them will become more intense. If it were not for this incident, both of them have unknown reasons. Inside, maybe at this time, through this incident, the struggle between the two people has been completely resolved. It is precisely because of this consideration that Du Yan decided to let Sun Xiaopeng officially appear in his small circle, and more importantly, he had other arrangements. "Director Hu is really good at putting on airs," Wang Lianyi looked at his watch and said with some dissatisfaction, "I guess he is thinking about how to hold a celebration party now and has forgotten all about us." "Don't worry Lian Yi," Du Yan smiled faintly. He knew Wang Lianyi's thoughts very well. Wang Lianyi was obviously worried that once he got involved with Lao Hu, the deputy director of the municipal bureau, his status in Du Yan's mind would inevitably drop. After all, he was a In the eyes of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, it was obvious how important a police station chief was compared to the deputy chief at the top of the county bureau. Thinking of this, Du Yan continued, "It doesn't matter if some people come later." Listening to what Du Yan said Wang Lianyi felt a little more comfortable. Thinking about it carefully, after all, his relationship with Director Du was unusual.?Not to mention the close relationship between the two when Director Du was still Xiao Du's secretary, but to talk about my persistence when Director Du needed a friend the most, and then think about Director Du's attitude towards me after he came back, let's talk about Director Du. Even if he will rely on Lao Hu more in the future, he should not neglect himself. A burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from outside. Shen Hefu, who had been drinking tea and seemed to have never heard the two talking from the beginning, immediately stood up and walked out of the private room. Then Shen and Fu came from the corridor, saying hello first, and then asking slightly unexpectedly: "Director Hu, you are here, oh, who is this" "Old Shen, Director Du is already here, right?" County Police The slightly rough voice of the deputy director of the bureau, Lao Hu, came from outside: "Old Shen, you greeted me wrong this time. Let me introduce you. This is our new Pingling County Party Committee Standing Committee member, Deputy County Magistrate Chu." Hearing Lao Hu's introduction outside, Wang Lianyi, who originally stood up after hearing the news, first glanced at Du Yan, who also seemed a little surprised, and then immediately walked to the door in a few steps. As a slightly fragrant breath floated in, Chu Yilan walked into the private room first. After nodding slightly to Wang Lianyi who was standing upright, she looked at Du Yan who had stood up from the chair with a smile on his face. Chu Yilan also had a calm smile on her face. "Director Du, you didn't expect me to come," Chu Yilan said to Du Yan with a smile, and then continued without waiting for Du Yan to reply, "I met Director Hu on the road and had a casual chat. Listen, You said you were here to treat me, and I happened to have no place to find a meal, so I followed him. I don¡¯t know whether Director Du welcomes you or not.¡± It's an honor for us to be honored at our first dinner in Pingling." Du Yan said casually, but when he saw Chu Yilan glare at him intentionally or unintentionally, he felt like this after being stunned. Although the words were said carelessly, if you think about it carefully, it seems that it sounds a bit teasing no matter how you listen to it. Seeing Lao Hu coming, Wang Lianyi became a lot more serious, while Sun Xiaopeng, who had been standing in the corner from beginning to end, consciously remained silent. Although Lao Hu was a little strange when he saw Sun Xiaopeng, he didn't show any expression. He knew that Du Yan obviously had a reason for letting such a young man attend today's banquet. "Xiao Sun is here too." Chu Yilan suddenly said hello to Sun Xiaopeng, which surprised several people except Du Yan. Lao Hu was secretly glad that he didn't show his dissatisfaction before, so that the two county committee members could see it. People who have good eyesight are definitely not simple no matter how you say it. After a few drinks, Shen Hefu made an excuse to leave the private room. As the atmosphere gradually calmed down, Lao Hu's eyes began to look back and forth between the two standing committee members. He still didn't understand why Chu Yilan suddenly took the initiative to participate in Du Yan's meeting. A banquet is very unruly in officialdom. After all, it is easy for others to misunderstand if you rush to attend gatherings in other people's circles when you are new here. What surprised Lao Hu even more was what Chu Yilan said next: "I just heard from a comrade I know in the city bureau that Guo Yunping's case seems to be somewhat involved with some people in the county bureau." Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 62 Su Qian Returns Chu Yilan's words made everyone present look secretly moved. Guo Yunping is Liu Laofei's man. Not only in the county bureau, but also everyone who is a little familiar with the people and things in Pingling official circles knows this. Because of this, although Du Yan can be said to be true to his word in the new district, he has always been unable to do anything to the district police station. Otherwise, Zhu Laowen would not have been arrested by Guo Yunping casually looking for an excuse, and even vaguely wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. Chen Si seemed to want to give Du Yan some color. ¡°If it were said that Guo Yunping did what he did without Liu Laofei¡¯s instruction, naturally no one would believe it. And Liu Laofei is now more and more obvious that he is following Guo Songlin, which is clearly visible to the onlookers. ¡°As a result, the county bureau, which is a powerful department in Pingling, is almost completely under Guo Songlin¡¯s control. But now the news revealed in Chu Yilan¡¯s words forced several people to have their own thoughts. Old Hu, who was sitting on one side and listening to nothing, couldn't help but sit up straight. He first glanced at Du Yan, and then looked at Chu Yilan carefully. After listening to Wang Lianyi's report about Zhao Aiguo's appearance, Lao Hu hesitated for a while. He knew that if he used the criminal police team without Liu Laofei, it would be a very risky move anyway. If he succeeds, his future will be bright, but if he fails, Liu Laofei¡¯s nature will definitely not let him go easily. However, since ancient times, wealth has always been sought in danger. After hesitating, Lao Hu finally couldn't resist the temptation of the huge benefits that success would bring, and he gritted his teeth and pulled the criminal police team out. When the news of Zhao Aiguo's escape came, Lao Hu felt like the sky was falling and the earth was falling. He thought that his life was over and he might lose his job. It¡¯s just that no one expected that it would end like this in the end. Although it was a bit thrilling, everyone was happy in the end. Zhao Aiguo was successfully killed, and also brought out Guo Yunping, a close associate of Liu Laofei. After Wang Lianyi's hint, Lao Hu already knew that it was Du Yan who hinted at his actions. Being able to establish a relationship with a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee made Lao Hu's mind more active. The news that Liu Laofei was going to take over as secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee had spread a year ago. Although they didn¡¯t know why the appointment had not arrived, most people believed that it was a done deal. After all, Zhang was the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Wenliang publicly named Liu Laofei in front of all the county cadres, and his words were a bit proud. Although many people knew that Liu Laofei was not necessarily Zhang Wenliang's person, this also shows that the city's attitude towards Liu The old fat man had a good impression. What Lao Hu is worried about is the position of director that Liu Laofei took after he became the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. No matter how hard it is, you, Lao Liu, can't have all the good things occupied by you alone. After joining the Standing Committee and becoming the leader of the county party committee, the position of county bureau chief has always been Let's give it to the people behind who are waiting to take over. But now Chu Yilan's vague tone made Lao Hu's mind begin to change. Although he couldn't seem too close to Chu Yilan in front of Du Yan, the enthusiasm in his eyes had already been revealed. . Du Yan took a silent sip from the wine glass. He knew that Chu Yilan had a deep intention to come to his place today regardless of official customs and customs. Now when he heard Chu Yilan's words, he raised his head and looked up. Lao Hu, who was sitting next to him, did not speak. Chu Yilan didn't want to show off. She took a bite of the food and tasted it before putting down her chopsticks and continued: "In addition to Guo Yunping's relationship with Zhao Aiguo, it seems that there are many other problems. Some people are involved in this, but the specifics are I¡¯m not very clear about the situation. After all, I just arrived in Pingling and I don¡¯t know much about the personnel situation.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. County Magistrate Chu has just taken office. Of course, with Magistrate Chu¡¯s ability, as long as the relationship is straightened out, it will be very easy. You'll be familiar with it quickly." Du Yan didn't seem to want to continue talking about this matter. He raised his glass to Chu Yilan, "Come on, County Magistrate Chu, let me toast you with a drink and wish you all the best in your future work in Pingling. "Looking at the green fruit wine in the cup that Du Yan raised, Chu Yilan couldn't help but think of how he secretly replaced the wine with boiled water to save himself at the Jie Feng Banquet. Later, he couldn't help but think of when he was in danger. Sun Xiaopeng suddenly appeared, and Sun Xiaopeng told himself that he was following Director Du's order to save him. Thinking of these, Chu Yilan couldn't help but glance at Du Yan, who was holding a wine glass with a smile on his face, and Sun Xiaopeng, who was sitting aside and looked inconspicuous but very smart. Chu Yilan could vaguely guess who Sun Xiaopeng was. After all, she had seen the world, but she was surprised that Du Yan was actually willing to expose Sun Xiaopeng, who was supposed to be low-key, in order to save her. But now Sun Xiaopeng is sitting here in public, Chu Yilan could guess a little bit of Du Yan's thoughts.   This is how I repay your life-saving grace. Chu Yilan thought about raising her wine glass and touching it with Du Yan before drinking it in one gulp. Then she looked at Sun Xiaopeng and asked inadvertently: "Xiao Sun, which unit do you work in now?" "Report to County Magistrate Chu, I Now he works as a security coordinator at the station police station." Sun Xiaopeng immediately stood up and reported. "Xiaopeng, don't be so nervous. Everyone here is not an outsider. Relax." Du Yan's words made several other people look at Sun Xiaopeng and change their eyes. This sentence certainly implies that Sun Xiaopeng is Du Yan's confidant, but the following sentence "they are not outsiders" has clearly drawn a circle. Director Du has already made his attitude clear, and now it depends on whether you are sensible. Chu Yilan took the opportunity to pick up the food and looked up at Du Yan, and happened to see Du Yan looking at her with the same meaningful eyes. Chu Yilan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. She knew that Du Yan's obvious attitude was somewhat asking for repayment, but not only did she receive a favor from him, but the favor was indeed not small. Thinking back to the feeling of fear when she and Zhang Meng were hiding in the house in the dark, even though it had been a few days, Chu Yilan still couldn't help but feel frightened every time she thought about it. Lao Hu secretly glanced at Chu Yilan, slightly uneasy. When he thought about it, it certainly didn't matter that Wang Lianyi was Du Yan's man, which was known to the whole county. However, he and Du Yan had just developed a relationship. If not, With the others present, of course he was willing to hear Du Yan's obvious words of solicitation. But now in front of a newly appointed member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and Executive Deputy County Magistrate, Director Du said it so blatantly. This was not just solicitation, it sounded a bit arrogant and domineering, and it even seemed to be a warning to Chu Yilan. Don't stretch it too far. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? What will Deputy County Magistrate Chu think of himself if he takes over at this time? Lao Hu's palms were a little sweaty. But Lao Hu is also a veteran after all, and he came up with a solution after thinking about it for a while. "Xiao Sun is now working as a security guard at the station?" Old Hu looked Sun Xiaopeng up and down. "It looks like he came from the army, right?" "Report to Bureau Hu, I have just been demobilized and I was a scout in the army before," Sun Xiaopeng was half-serious. He said falsely, and then deliberately glanced at Du Yan, "Director Du said he wanted me to be a security guard in the county bureau to get some training." "Been a scout? He was the best in the army, why was it wasted like this? "Lao Hu said, turning back to Du Yan and said, "Director Du, I'm not blaming you for drinking too much. You are just doing business, but when doing business, you don't have to tell the specific situation. Besides, the best people in the army like Xiao Sun are definitely talents. If you are. It's such a waste, why don't you leave it to me, can I let him join the criminal police team? Arrange a suitable job, and if he is not satisfied, I will hand him over to you, Lao Hu, and you can do whatever you want him to do," Du Yan said haha. "Okay, Director Du, let's make it a deal, and don't say that I will steal the treasure from you." Lao Hu laughed deliberately. Seeing Lao Hu's pretentiousness, Chu Yilan had a slight smile on her lips. She knew that it was rare for Lao Hu to do this today. After all, it was hard to appear too understanding in front of her, so she used the necessary Reuse Sun Xiaopeng to express his attitude. It was right for Lao Hu to do this, but what he never expected was that there was some kind of unknown secret between Du Yan and Chu Yilan. And his seemingly comprehensive but vague attitude left Du Yan with the only impression that he was rough on the outside and smooth on the inside, and unreliable. When Chu Yilan stood up to say goodbye, Du Yan stood up to see her off. Looking at Du Yan's outstretched hand, Chu Yilan couldn't help but remember that when she accompanied Zhang Wenliang to Pingling for an inspection last time, Du Yan took the opportunity to shake hands with her. Yan embarrassed Zhang Wenliang. At that time, Du Yan was holding on to Chu Yilan's hand with a rogue look on his face, while he was talking like a train, thinking of this, Chu Yilan couldn't help but give it a firm squeeze when shaking hands! After recalling the painful feeling in his hands, and looking at Chu Yilan's back as he walked away, Du Yan couldn't help but think to himself, although Deputy County Magistrate Chu is no longer Deputy Secretary-General Chu, he still has this habit of holding grudges. , still not changed. After Chu Yilan left, the atmosphere in the box became much more relaxed. Shen Hefu not only entered the private room again, but also called his wife and two pretty-looking waiters. Lao Hu also became more active, making various erotic and vegetarian jokes one after another, which made several women present laugh non-stop with half shame and half joy. ? ?But after listening to Chu Yilan's words, Lao Hu couldn't calm down. After finally having enough wine and food, Lao Hu finally couldn't bear it anymore by resting in the lobby with Du Yan. He asked in a low voice: "Director Du, look at Director Liu this time" "Director Hu, you did a good job in arresting Zhao Aiguo this time. You seized the opportunity and acted in a timely manner," Du Yan smiled slightly, "As for It is said that Zhao Aiguo escaped because Guo Yunping was unable to prevent the tip-off, but the performance of the entire county bureau in the arrest operation was very recognized by the city leaders." Speaking of this, Du Yan said with a hint of meaning, "So Lao Hu Ah, work with peace of mind, there will be a suitable arrangement in the organization. " Listening to Du Yan's words, Old Hu chuckled and nodded. He knew that today he was just on the line with Director Du. Is it worth it? The director's promotion depends on his own performance. "Director Du, Xiao Sun is a talent," Lao Hu knew it was time for him to show off. "Now the New District is short of manpower because of Guo Yunping's accident. I'm trying to figure out Xiao Sun's staffing problem in the county bureau first. After solving it, we will move it to the new district for training. Let¡¯s start as a grassroots police officer. If you have a chance, mention it. What do you think?¡± Looking at the questioning look on Lao Hu¡¯s face, Du Yan thought for a moment, and then nodded silently. nodded. Guo Yunping was imprisoned because of Zhao Aiguo. This unexpected gain was something Du Yan had not thought of before. Although he had always known that Guo Yunping relied on his relationship with Liu Laofei and had been doing both good and bad things to him, but after all, the police and the local government were not affiliated with each other. , so Du Yan had no choice for the moment. Even if Guo Yunping arrested Zhu Laowen in order to find an excuse for Jinding Company, and then secretly dealt with Chen Siyou, Du Yan could only settle the matter through a deal with Guo Songlin, but now that Guo Yunping has been imprisoned, so he has no time If Du Yan takes the position of director of the New District Police Station, he will never allow anyone to interfere in the New District! Of course, it is impossible for Sun Xiaopeng to serve as the director of the new district police station immediately, but it is enough to arrange him to the new district in advance. As for the candidate for the director, Du Yan has already thought of a way. Seeing Wang Lianyi coming over, Du Yan patted the sofa next to him and said, "Come and have a rest with Lianyi." Wang Lianyi sat down casually. He had been with Du Yan for a long time. He had already understood some of Du Yan's daily habits. Wang Lianyi knew that if he seemed too reserved at this time, it would appear that there was some alienation between the two people. "Lian Yi, I remember the surname of the deputy director of your institute is Bao, right?" Du Yan asked. "Yes, Lao Bao, Bao Qingshi," Wang Lianyi said, "Director, can I ask him something?" "What do you think of his work ability?" After hearing Du Yan's question, Wang Lianyi thought for a while and then nodded: "Work ability Not bad, mainly because Lao Bao is a more down-to-earth person and a good person. " "That's good," Du Yan nodded, then turned back to Lao Hu who was sitting next to him and said, "Director Hu, regarding the selection of the director of the new district police station. Please pay more attention." Listening to Du Yan's words, Old Hu nodded understandingly. He knew that this was the first major event after he entered Director Du's circle. What position would he have in Director Du's mind in the future? How important it is depends on whether I can successfully win the chair of the new district police station chief this time! Because of the Geng Zhen incident, Du Yan has been delayed in the county for the past few days. As the incident gradually subsided, Du Yan finally returned to the new district four days later. Looking at the new district cadres who greeted him, Du Yan clearly felt something different. Shi Changgeng became a lot quieter, Peng Jun seemed more assertive, and although Chen Siyou was severely scolded by Chen Laogan, when he saw Du Yan, he still couldn't help showing a little bit of excitement. As for Lao Zhai, the deputy secretary of Shuangdui Town, has also become much more active than before. For a time, everyone in Director Du's small circle in the new district seemed to be very proud of his success. The only person who has not changed and still sticks to his duties is Hu Weiping, director of the District Party Committee Office. "Lao Hu, hasn't the person from Hong Kong Development Company arrived yet?" Sitting in the office, Du Yan asked Hu Weiping, who was helping him pack up documents. "Not yet. They had previously offered to come and discuss with you in detail about purchasing Liuli Ji pottery, but because they were delayed due to matters in the county a few days ago, they never brought it up again. Negotiations with other parties." Listening to Hu Weiping's concise introduction, Du Yan nodded silently. Because Shi Changgeng had negotiated with the Hong Kong Development Company to purchase clay without permission, Du Yan had already heard that the Hong Kong Development Company seemed to have some unexplainable relationship with certain leaders in the city, although it seemed that it was just a relationship so far. Mentioning Liu Zhi, Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee, but Du Yan knew that Liu Zhi, a notoriously cautious person,It is impossible for people to support a Hong Kong-funded company in such a high-profile manner. , So what role did Liu Zhi play in this matter? Is he cooperating with this company purely for political gain, or is Liu Zhi himself just a shield, and there is a bigger figure behind him? "Director, I checked the Hong Kong Development Company. It is not a very big company, with a registered capital of only 300,000," Hu Weiping reminded carefully. Du Yan nodded. He knew that Hu Weiping was hinting to him that a small company with such a small registered capital was either Shi Changgeng's flag-bearer and used Liu Zhi's name indiscriminately, or it was an out-and-out businessman. Buckle leather bag company. Will Shi Changgeng be so bold as to randomly borrow the name of the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee? Du Yan didn't believe that Shi Changgeng would be so stupid. After all, he was a local cadre. Unlike those swindlers, such lies would be exposed soon, and once exposed, even Guo Songlin wouldn't be able to protect him. ? Then will it be a leather bag company with only an empty shell? Du Yan was wondering, but after carefully reading the letter of intent signed by Hong Kong Development Company and Shi Changgeng, he quickly gave up the idea. According to the terms of the letter of intent, once the contract is signed, every transaction between Hong Kong Development Company and the New District will be paid in cash and there will be no arrears. It also states in detail that Hong Kong Development Company will pay a certain amount of freight first. If this is a leather company, then such a contract will obviously not benefit Hong Kong Development Company from it. What is going on? Du Yan secretly thought to himself that because Liu Zhi was involved, the matter would undoubtedly become more complicated. Du Yan, who was deep in thought, was awakened by a quarrel coming from the street outside. He looked up unhappily at Hu Weiping, who was standing next to him. Since the establishment of the new district, as the market has grown larger and larger, although the new district's economy has developed rapidly, public security problems have become increasingly serious, ranging from various social disputes to increasingly rampant bullying and fights. He has been repeatedly banned. Speaking of which, this is one of the reasons why Du Yan is dissatisfied with Guo Yunping. "I'll go take a look." Seeing the look on Du Yan's face, Hu Weiping first walked to the window and looked outside, and then immediately walked out of the office. But soon, Hu Weiping came back again. Behind him, there seemed to be someone following him, and there was a slightly strange smile on his face. When he saw Du Yan giving him a questioning look, Hu Weiping smiled slightly. , and then step aside. A figure standing behind Hu Weiping appeared in front of Du Yan. "Qianqian?" Du Yan looked at Su Qian who was standing at the door unexpectedly. "It's you?!" "It's me," looking at Du Yan who was stunned because of his emotions, Su Qian, who was wearing a white dress, couldn't hide her smile. A trace of tenderness flowed out of the living person, "I'm back." Volume 4, "Volume 3, Official Sailing" Chapter 63, Marry Me "I'm back." Listening to this sentence, it seems as if I just went out for a while and said hello casually when I entered the door. But from it, Du Yan could hear the faint sorrow of separation and the warmth of reunion that only he and Su Qian could truly experience. Hu Weiping wisely withdrew and then gently closed the door. The office suddenly became quiet, except for the slight breathing of the two people who looked at each other silently. Du Yan slowly walked up to Su Qian and looked at her carefully, then stretched out his hands to wrap around her slender waist, and pulled her into his arms with force! "Du Yan" Su Qian let out a low moan, but her soft lips were then covered. The moment their lips and tongues touched, the sorrow of separation instantly melted into the deep love. After a long time, the two lingering lovers slowly separated. Seeing that the neat clothes on her body had become crooked, Su Qian's already blushing face couldn't help but look even more gorgeous. "Look at you, how can I go out like this?" Su Qian lowered her head to adjust her clothes as she spoke, but her chin was gently lifted by Du Yan, "Stop fooling around" "Qianqian, have you changed? Less." Du Yan said softly. Hearing what Du Yan said, Su Qian couldn't help but show a slightly proud look on her face. Su Qian was originally quite beautiful, and because of her quiet personality, she had long been known as a beauty in Pingling. However, a period of urban life and being deliberately and subtly cultivated by Du Yan caused Su Qian to undergo significant changes. At this time, Su Qian was quiet and elegant, vaguely revealing the peaceful confidence and grace unique to successful women. "Do you like it more or don't like it anymore?" Su Qian asked with a slight naughty pout on her lips. Then she took the initiative to stretch her arms around Du Yan's neck and looked into Du Yan's eyes seriously. "You know How much do I miss you? Even if it wasn't because of work this time, I couldn't help but come back to see you right away." "Why did you come back so suddenly without a call?" Du Yan asked with a chuckle. He selectively forgot the question Su Qian asked. It was such a thankless question no matter how he answered it. "By the way, guess who I brought back this time?" Su Qian said with a strange smile on her face. She looked like a child who wanted to be praised by an adult after doing something. "Who?" Du Yan asked confused. Su Qian's question was a bit irrelevant. For a moment, he really couldn't think of anyone who could show such an expression to Su Qian. "Why did you ask me to go to the East China Sea?" Su Qian reminded with a smile. "Wait, you meanyou really brought him here?!" Du Yan was stunned for a moment, then saw Su Qian's encouraging eyes with a smile, and then he suddenly understood and hugged Su Qian tightly in his arms. I like you so much, my baby!" "What are you doing? Let me go and let people outside hear." Su Qian struggled with laughter and looked at the clothes she had just arranged become wrinkled again. Baba, she raised her hand with some annoyance as if to hit someone, but when her palm fell on Du Yan's face, it turned into a gentle touch, "Du Yan, I always wanted to finish what you asked me to do quickly. Then come back to see you. You know, no matter how much I do and how much money I make, I always think about you. I don¡¯t know if you are doing well alone or if you are worried about work again. , and I don¡¯t know if you miss me.¡± ¡°Qianqian,¡± Du Yan held Su Qian in his arms with some excitement. He knew that Su Qian was actually a very sensitive girl, and her personality was also very quiet. , thinking of sending her to Donghai City, a noisy world full of opportunities, but also full of all kinds of whirlpools of right and wrong, in order for her to help him, Du Yan couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you Do the things you don¡¯t like. If you feel tired, then go home, cook for me at home, wash clothes, take care of the children, and just be my wife, okay?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Su Qian chuckled at first, and then shook her head helplessly, "I want to do this too, but now I can't look back once things are done. Du Yan, can you imagine what I did in the East China Sea in such a short period of time?" ? I guess it will scare you." Looking at Su Qian's slightly satisfied expression, Du Yan just smiled. Of course he could think of what Su Qian had done, because he had arranged it for Su Qian in advance. , as long as Su Qian follows his instructions step by step, not only can she gather a considerable amount of wealth in a short period of time, but more importantly, in the upcoming events due to various reasons In the financial turmoil caused by this, we can cleverly avoid the disasters that many predators cannot escape. But at this time, Du Yan's mind was completely focused onThe person Qian just mentioned, and Su Qian had already noticed that Du Yan looked a little absent-minded. "I'd better take you to meet someone. You don't have the heart to talk to me now." Su Qian pursed her lips slightly, which almost made Du Yan faint again, but she wanted to wait until the two of them were alone. Du Yan still resisted the urge to hug Su Qian into his arms again. After tidying up a little, the two of them walked out of the office together. Du Yan smiled softly when he saw Hu Weiping sitting behind the desk outside, looking at documents in a serious manner. That should have been Hu Xuecong's seat. Hu Weiping thought that some of the noise in the room might be "not suitable for children", so he sent his son away. , he temporarily served as a return guard. Seeing the weird smile on Du Yan's face, Su Qian's shyness that had just calmed down immediately appeared on her cheeks. She nodded slightly to Hu Weiping, then leaned half of her body behind Du Yan, and for a moment she looked like she was completely gone. The idea of ??a young girl in love. "Director, there are a few guests coming together outside," Hu Weiping said to Du Yan with a natural expression after greeting Su Qian. At the same time, he lowered his voice slightly, "Just now when Xiao Su and the others were about to come in, there was no one at the door. There was a misunderstanding among the guards. " Du Yan nodded. After the establishment of the new district, the economy has indeed developed a lot, but because of this, the cadres of the new district have involuntarily developed a sense of arrogance. Du Yan even vaguely heard people mention this during meetings in the county. Cadres from other towns and villages in the county said that the cadres in the new district usually have a arrogant tone and have a sense of superiority that they are the best in the county. Of course, this is related to the good economic situation that has gradually formed in the new district in the past two years, but Du Yan also heard some rumors that this is a typical "what squad leader leads what soldiers", Director Du of the new district does not suffer, and brings out The eyes of his subordinates also grew to the top of their heads. "Lao Hu, let's hold a meeting later and organize the cadres in the district to learn from it. It seems that the work atmosphere in the district needs to be carefully controlled," Du Yan said casually as he and Hu Weiping walked down the stairs, "This is my responsibility." Leave it to Secretary Chang Geng." Hu Weiping paused for a moment, then nodded and followed. Su Qian followed the two people and looked at Du Yan's back, a look of contemplation flashed across her face. After Liu Jiahui left, he left two things behind in the new district. One was a Santana car that he never got to sit in, and the other was the current new office building. The Santana sedan was used by Du Yan as the reception car in the new district. If it weren't for some influential investors, Du Yan himself would still be driving an old jeep that was rickety, and the new office building was also there. Under Du Yan's initiative, the first floor became the only comprehensive external service building not only in Taihua City, but also in the entire Hexi Province. As soon as he walked down the stairs, Du Yan saw a middle-aged man in his fifties with an elegant temperament sitting in a chair arranged in a circle around the pillars. Seeing Su Qian coming down, a well-dressed young man next to the middle-aged man immediately stood up. His eyes only fell on Su Qian, never looking at anyone else. "Let me introduce you," Su Qian took a few steps forward. "This is Professor Fang Jiqing from Donghai Jiaotong University. This is Professor Fang's assistant Lu Xiaoguang. Professor Fang, this is the member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee I told you before." , Director Du Yan and Du of the New District of Taihua City, this is Director Hu of the New District Committee Office. " After hearing Su Qian's introduction, it seemed that it was because Du Yan was too young, Fang Jiqing looked at Du Yan with a little surprise, but when he saw it. Following Hu Weiping's attitude towards Du Yan, and thinking about Su Qian's current situation in Donghai City, although he felt that this "Member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee, Director of the New District of Taihua City" was a bit too young, and it was different from the image of a government cadre in his impression. There were differences, but he still politely stretched out his hand and shook Du Yan's hand. "Miss Su, you have always said that there is a place in the mainland that can provide sufficient conditions for Teacher Fang's research. Is this here?" The young man named Lu Xiaoguang deliberately looked around after shaking hands, and then asked, "This place is a bit It¡¯s remote. Teacher Fang¡¯s research is now truly high-tech. Can the conditions here meet Teacher Fang¡¯s requirements?¡± Listening to Lu Xiaoguang¡¯s impolite question, Hu Weiping frowned slightly, based on his many years of experience in dealing with people. Naturally, it has been seen that Lu Xiaoguang obviously has thoughts about Su Qian, but this is his private matter. Hu Weiping knows his position very well. Although, as Chen Laogan said, he can be said to be Du Yan's number one confidant in the new district, but Up to now, the relationship between them has only remained at work. It will take some time and opportunity to develop into a personal relationship. "It's just that although I don't know what Professor Fang Jiqing is studying, Su Qian can tell him from being such a big boss in Donghai CityHu Weiping could also guess that Professor Fang must be of great use to Du Yan. "Mr. Lu may not be aware when he first comes here. Although our new district is not comparable to a big city like Donghai, our director Du is not simple. He not only makes the new district impressive, but also has many innovations. As long as it is needed, we will definitely be able to provide Conditions that satisfy Professor Fang," Hu Wei said with a flat smile. "Director Hu, maybe you don't know what projects Professor Fang is researching, and speaking of it, I think there is indeed no place where Professor Fang's research topics can be used. After all, so far, China has not been able to provide The success of Professor Fang's research will be the condition for the practical stage. "Lu Xiaoguang still said reluctantly, and at the same time he looked at Du Yan provocatively, because at this time he had already seen that it was said that he had been in Donghai City recently. Miss Su, who is a rising star in the securities industry, looked at Du Yan with a look that anyone with a little bit of intelligence would understand. "Professor Fang, it seems that Mr. Lu is your agent." Du Yan suddenly smiled and said to Fang Ji Qing. "Director Du, you're kidding. I'm not one of those pop-up singers. How can I have an agent?" Fang Jiqing showed a rare hint of humor, which surprised Hu Weiping. In his impression, such a great professor should be very serious, and An extremely mysterious person. Listening to Fang Jiqing's slightly playful words, Du Yan was not surprised. In his memory, Fang Jiqing was such a person, knowledgeable but not old-fashioned. Du Yan remembered that Fang Jiqing¡¯s lectures were lively and interesting, and he often used some humor and fun to liven up the classroom atmosphere. He also encouraged students to draw inferences from one example. It was precisely because of this that many students at that time liked to listen to this It was precisely because of Professor Fang's class that Du Yan had a deep memory of his research. "Okay, Professor Fang, you guys are going to have a rest when you arrive. I'll catch up with you in the evening and have a good chat about how your high-strength ceramic materials can overcome the energy consumption problem of conductor overload. How about that?" "Wait a minute, Du. Director!" Fang Jiqing grabbed Du Yan. At this time, he was no longer as elegant and funny as before. "What did you just say? Can conductor overload cause problems?" "Professor Fang, as far as I know? What you are studying should be industrial precision ceramic CNC technology in the field of applied science. This is a very cutting-edge project in material application. However, for some reason your research has not been taken seriously. Is that so? " Du Yan did not answer Fang Jiqing? The previous question raised another question. Seeing the slight change in the expression on Fang Jiqing's face, Du Yan couldn't help but smile to himself. "Professor Fang, please go back and rest first. Let's have a good talk in the evening." Du Yan said, regardless of whether Fang Jiqing agreed or not, he ordered Hu Weiping to arrange the residence of Fang Jiqing and his two assistants. He looked at Fang Jiqing with some reluctance. Du Yan couldn't help but be secretly proud of leaving. Of course, Du Yan is very clear about Fang Jiqing's current situation. At this time, Fang Jiqing was frustrated and the research project could not be promoted and applied for many reasons, which naturally affected his steps to continue research. It is precisely because of this, if there is nothing Changes. Two years later, because he was disillusioned with the domestic environment, Fang Jiqing will be invited to go to the United States, and then continue to study his ultra-high-strength special ceramic CNC technology in the United States. And in a few years, when the country discovers the importance of Fang Jiqing's research in various fields, it will regret it, especially when a military technology laboratory in the United States develops a new product based on Fang Jiqing's special ceramic CNC technology. After the first generation of ceramic reactive armor, there was an uproar in the country, followed by endless mutual accusations! But now Fang Jiqing is not so conspicuous, or because of some technical difficulties, his mind has not been completely disturbed by external reasons, but when he heard Du Yan casually mentioned the bottleneck of his research When asked this question, this professor, who is easy-going in life but famous for his rigorous research, was naturally deeply moved. Seeing that the bait he had laid was effective immediately, Du Yan was no longer in a hurry. To deal with someone like Fang Jiqing, he had to stay away from him, but he managed to scratch his itch. Until it was time to eat, this person Professor Fang Da doesn¡¯t want to have a good rest. "I tricked you into getting this person. Whether you can stay or not is up to you." Su Qian whispered as she watched Fang Jiqing and the others leave. "Not only did you deceive a great professor, but you also brought me a love rival," Du Yan deliberately lowered his face and said, "That guy named Lu Xiaoguang, I don't like him." "What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Qian was afraid of Du at first. Yan misunderstood and was a little nervous, but then he saw the undisguised smile in Du Yan's eyes., and rolled his eyes lightly, "That Lu Xiaoguang is Professor Fang's student and assistant. I met him when I went to visit Professor Fang. As a result, he kept pestering people all day long, but I never really paid attention to him." "Of course I know." Seeing Su Qian's slightly aggrieved look, Du Yan, who was originally joking, immediately felt guilty and distressed. "I know you are looking at me and only me." "Then. What about you, in your eyes" Su Qian asked casually, but then stopped. Seeing the slightly sad helplessness that flashed across Su Qian's eyes, Du Yan's heart couldn't help but twitch. If he hadn't been standing in the hall, he would have wanted to take Su Qian into his arms and never let him go. The urge to drive! "I came here directly. I haven't gone home to talk to my mother yet." Seeing Du Yan's guilty look, Su Qian whispered obediently. "Then I'll accompany you back tomorrow. I think it's about time to formally introduce me to your family," Du Yan smiled. "What are you introducing? Haven't we all known each other a long time ago?" Su Qian's heart skipped a beat, and her voice was slightly dry. She was vaguely aware of what Du Yan was going to say, and her hands couldn't help but clench together because of nervousness. "I went there as your boyfriend before, but this time I hope to become the son-in-law of your old Su family." Du Yan whispered to Su Qian. "You, what you said is true?!" Su Qian's face turned pale at first, and then she immediately blushed with excitement. "Of course it's true. It's time for us to get married. If we don't get married, I'm afraid your mother will have other ideas." Du Yan said half-truthfully. When he saw this Lu Xiaoguang, he couldn't help but think of Zhang Wenliang's son. Zhang Tao then thought of his excellent mother-in-law. Thinking of her mother, Su Qian couldn't help but sigh secretly. Although Du Yan is now a deputy department-level cadre and a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Gu Weifen's unstable, snobbish and realistic attitude, no one can guarantee whether something will really happen. . At least Su Qian knew that in Gu Weifen's eyes, the teaching assistants at Donghai City University must be extremely mysterious and unattainable. No one can guarantee that just because of this purely blind fantasy about the big city, there is no guarantee that the teaching assistants at the university will be different from the blind fantasy about the big city. Will the worship of the title cause another problem between herself and Du Yan? "We will go back to the county tomorrow," Du Yan said to Su Qian, and then he lowered his voice and whispered, "Let's have a good talk tonight." "Well" Su Qian responded in a low voice, with a clear voice. The taste was so sweet that Du Yan couldn't help but tremble in his heart at first, and then he couldn't help but look up at the sun that was still hanging high above his head, muttering to himself, "It's really not early." That night at Shen Hefu's Little Carp House, Du Yan Yan and Hu Weiping hosted Fang Jiqing and his party on behalf of the new district, but the entire banquet was generally divided into two circles. After only drinking a few glasses of wine, Fang Jiqing sat aside with Du Yan and began to discuss issues about his research. When he heard that Du Yan also graduated from Donghai University, Fang Jiqing became even more enthusiastic, and Du Yan gave him a proposal Although some of the suggestions seemed a bit vague, they hit the key points of his research bottleneck, which made Fang Jiqing even more excited and interested. Later, he even said directly to Du Yan: "Xiao Du, I see you It's such a pity to be an official, just come to study with me, let's start the project together, that's what life will do." Listening to Fang Jiqing's words, Du Yan could only smile helplessly, of course he couldn't say that to Fang Jiqing. , don¡¯t say that your relevant knowledge is just superficial. Even if you really have expertise in this area, if you cannot use your official career to create favorable environmental conditions for their research, then the final result will be nothing more than research. Their things were shelved on the shelf, and the hard work of many people was just to make wedding clothes for others. Fang Jiqing was chatting lively here, and Lu Xiaoguang was chatting endlessly with Su Qian on the other side. Lu Xiaoguang felt that he was becoming more and more fascinated by this strong woman who was said to be alone in Donghai City and now seemed to have achieved quite a lot. Although Director Du seemed to be her boyfriend, Lu Xiaoguang believed that given Su Qian's experience with the colorful world of the East China Sea, as well as her impressive status and family background, how could Su Qian fall in love with a mainlander again? Where are the cadres? What Lu Xiaoguang hates is that the director of the district committee surnamed Hu always interferes in the situation and disrupts the situation. He either persuades him to drink or brags for Du from time to time throughout the night. This makes Lu Xiaoguang bored the whole night. I felt unspeakably aggrieved. Finally, after Hu Weiping arranged for Fang Jiqing and his party to rest, returned to Du Yan's residence, made a report, and left, the only two people left in the room were silent and looking at each other. Su Qian stood up nervously.She almost wanted to leave, but then slowly sat down. She looked at the door uneasily from time to time, as if she was afraid that someone would come in at any time. When she accidentally turned her head and met Du Yan's hot eyes, her cheeks immediately turned red. one slice. "I'm going back to rest." Although she knew that even she didn't believe what she said, Su Qian still whispered, "It won't be good if I stay here for too long." "What impact will it have? We are husband and wife." Du Yan chuckled. He felt that Su Qian at this time was particularly interesting. "Can't we still live as husband and wife?" "Who is married to you? We haven't received the certificate yet," although Su Qian glared at Du Yan, But after listening to his words, his body became slightly soft and hot. "You people here are so talkative. Be careful if someone makes a small report saying that there is something wrong with your lifestyle." "Snitching?" Du Yan leaned against the bed. Chang, with a strange smile on his face, tilted his head slightly and looked at Su Qian, "I have sent those who dare to report to the training class today. If there are people who are still disobedient, I don't mind expanding the training class." "That's the one you're talking about, Secretary Chang Geng. Isn't he the secretary of Daqing Township?" Su Qian asked in a low voice. She gently held Du Yan's face and looked at him carefully. "Du Yan doesn't know why. I just think you are different from before. I can¡¯t tell you what¡¯s different, but I don¡¯t like your change.¡± ¡°Qianqian, no matter how I change in the future, I will never change my feelings towards you.¡± Du Yan reached out and slowly unbuttoned Su Qian's blouse. When a slender white neck and a delicate breast were exposed in front of him, Du Yan lowered his head gently and sucked her lips slowly and gently. That snow-like skin that smells sweet. The stimulation brought by the hot lips caused a rose-like blush to appear on Su Qian's skin. Her body trembled slightly. As Du Yan's hands wrapped around her slender waist and closed behind her with slight force, Su Qian Her upper body couldn't help but bend backwards involuntarily, and at the same time, a pair of peaks on her chest stood out in front of Du Yan's eyes like tempting fruits. "Qian, promise me," the moment the two people's bodies came together, Du Yan whispered in Su Qian's ear, "Marry me." For a moment, Su Qian felt that Du Yan still had a deep feeling even after being separated for a long time. Du Yan's love, accompanied by waves of passionate love that came over like waves, at the moment when Su Qian climbed to the climax of passion, Su Qian finally uttered an answer that made Du Yan extremely happy: "I promise, I promise you ,I want to marry you!" Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 64: The Troubled Pingling The next morning, when Fang Jiqing got up at dawn and rushed to the district committee in high spirits, he saw Du Yan sitting in the yard chatting with Hu Weiping. "Director Du, you woke up really early," Fang Jiqing asked unexpectedly. He rubbed his temples as he spoke, "I said, Director Du, you are in high spirits during happy events, but my old man has been harmed by you. After returning, But I didn¡¯t sleep well. I kept thinking about what I talked about with you last night. Are you interested in continuing the conversation? " Although Fang Jiqing didn¡¯t mean to tell the truth, Du Yan was still a little embarrassed, even though he was very thick-skinned. . He didn't let go of Su Qian all night yesterday. The passion accumulated during the long separation was constantly released in the joys. When everything finally calmed down, Su Qian was already soft and tender, and dripping with sweat. . It's just that after all, the two people haven't officially married yet. Although everyone knows about their relationship, Su Qian still feels very embarrassed. More importantly, Su Qian doesn't want to have an impact on Du Yan because of this matter, so although she feels exhausted , but Su Qian still slept very alertly. She left Du Yan's room early and returned to the room next door arranged for her by Hu Weiping. Du Yan, on the other hand, "fought hard" for almost a whole night, but he got up immediately at dawn. As Fang Jiqing said, people are in high spirits when happy events occur. Thinking of Su Qian finally returning to him, thinking of the two people's struggles over the past few years. After all the hard work and setbacks, Su Qian finally got a taste of her long-cherished wish. When she thought about it, Su Qian not only followed her previous arrangements, but finally established a foothold in Donghai City and her career was booming. She even actually brought Fang Jiqing to Pingling. Du Yan I couldn't sleep no matter what, so I rushed to the district committee office early in the morning. However, although Du Yan arrived early, Hu Weiping was still the first to arrive as usual. "Professor Fang, we can't do it today. I have to go to the county to do some things. How about this? I'll ask Director Hu to accompany you around to see our new district. I'll also ask Professor Fang, Mr. Lu, to give you more valuable advice. When I come back Let's have a good chat," Du Yan explained with an apologetic smile on his face. Speaking of which, he was not at all as relaxed as Fang Jiqing at this time. When he thought about going to Su Qian's house to formally propose marriage soon, Du Yan felt that his little heart was a little trembling. For some reason, he never let him see it. The eye-catching image of Gu Weifen not only became extremely tall at this time, but was even filled with an inexplicable sense of oppression. Although Su Qian tried to get up as early as possible, when she saw a few people standing in the yard chatting, her face still couldn't help but blush slightly. Lu Xiaoguang looked at the faintly charming look on Su Qian's face with some disappointment. This was obviously the unique beauty of a woman who had just been nourished by love. But looking at Su Qian's current appearance, Lu Xiaoguang's face was gloomy. Du Yan is also very aware of Lu Xiaoguang's little thoughts, but while he is secretly proud that his wife is indeed quite charming, he does not blindly underestimate the enemy. Lu Xiaoguang may be just a small person, but this kind of person is a typical person who succeeds more than fails. It would be quite a headache if he always had some bad influence around Fang Jiqing. Seeing the cold expression on Du Yan's face after shaking hands with Lu Xiaoguang, Hu Weiping became interested. Although he didn't know why Director Du paid so much attention to Professor Fang, he seemed to have asked his fianc¨¦e to find a way to introduce him from Donghai City. Thinking that Director Du never made a loss-making business, Hu Weiping made up his mind and must find a way to serve Professor Fang well. As for Lu Xiaoguang, whether it was public or private, Professor Fang's assistant seemed to have no good effect on Director Du's plan. Thinking this, Hu Weiping became more cautious about Lu Xiaoguang. Seeing Hu Weiping dealing with Lu Xiaoguang from time to time when talking to Fang Jiqing, Du Yan knew that Hu Weiping had understood his hint. It was indeed very comfortable to have such a knowing subordinate like Hu Weiping, and many things did not even require your deliberate effort. Make arrangements and he will do it for you. What's more important is that Hu Weiping understands propriety very well and knows what matters are under his control and what matters should not be interfered with too much. This is different from those people who don't know how to advance or retreat once they become a close confidant of the leader and just lean forward blindly in order to please the leader. Hu Weiping is very clear about where he should be. The so-called distance is appropriate and the distance is appropriate. In this regard, Hu Weiping can be said to have already understood the taste. Looking at Hu Weiping, Du Yan couldn't help but think of Tu Xiangdong, and even Ding Bingxian. If Hu Weiping gradually established his position through these meticulous works, then Tu Xiangdong relied on his shrewd assessment of the situation to always stay out of the storm. But because of this, although Tu Xiangdong served several county party secretaries, there was no one Consider him a confidant. Therefore, although the throne of director of the County Party Committee Office is very secure, Tu Xiangdong's official career is also destined toUntil now, there will be no major development. As for Ding Bingxian, Du Yan feels that he can no longer see through this person! Du Yan even felt that even if Li Peizheng had not come to Pingling, Ding Bingxian's life trajectory would have undergone a huge change, but that change might not be something he could imagine now. As for what he remembered from his previous life, Why did Ding Bingxian remain idle and never pursue an official career? Du Yan vaguely guessed the reason after some thought. In the last life, Hexi Province ultimately missed the opportunity to favor the inter-provincial economic bridge, an extremely important policy for all provinces in the mainland, due to various reasons. This also led to the inter-provincial railway project that Chu Ping had ambitiously envisioned in his early years. With the new attention, even Gao Ke, the provincial governor who was vigorously supported by Chu Ping, no longer used some of Chu Ping's previous personnel because of the chain reaction brought about by this huge project. It was under that background that Ding Bingxian gradually sank and finally lost the chance to stand up again in his official career. And now, not only did Ding Bingxian have another rare opportunity, but by chance, he and Chu Ping's daughter were able to develop their ambitions together in Pingling, a place where many people meet. This made Du Yan couldn't help but feel secretly worried about the ever-changing circumstances in his life. sigh. Who do all these changes come from? Did you do it yourself? If I hadn't met Song Jiayi in the first place, wouldn't all of this have happened? And what will happen to the relationship between myself and Ding Bingxian in the future? Will it be like Li Peizheng, who eventually parted ways because of their different paths? Du Yan sighed secretly when he thought of this. He looked towards Su Qian and happened to see the eyes of Su Qian looking towards him. Their eyes met, and then at the same time they revealed something that no one could explain clearly but they knew clearly. smile. Just when Du Yan was moved by the unexpected events in his life, Ding Bingxian was sitting under the grape trellis of his home drinking morning tea. Ding Bingxian has always had the habit of getting up early, no matter in winter or summer, he would get up very early, and then he would make a pot of tea and drink it before going to work. When he used to work at Pingling Communications, because it was a Qingshui Yamen with nothing to do, Ding Bingxian sometimes went to the unit to have his morning tea, and he often drank it all morning. It¡¯s different now. Although Ding Bingxian doesn¡¯t want any big changes in his heart, it¡¯s still somewhat different from when he was communicating in Pingling. "Hey, all the hard work is just for utilitarianism." Ding Bingxian sighed softly. He picked up the tea cup on the stone table and just took a sip. When he heard the door, Ding Hongwei walked out of the room yawning. "Dad, you're up early again." Ding Hongwei asked casually, then sat down opposite Ding Bingxian, picked up a cup and made himself a full cup of tea. "If the water is too full, it will flow out easily." Ding Bing glanced at his son first, and then said casually. "Dad, please don't play riddles with me. I'm not Du Yan, and I'm not used to you officials being in the clouds all day long. Just tell me if you want to lecture me again." Ding Hongwei said while glancing into the room. "Don't be so useless, haven't we just seen each other all night?" Ding Bingxian showed a smile on his lips. He was not the kind of moral gentleman who would not change his ways. Ding Hongwei came back with his girlfriend yesterday. He said that the Ding family's house is not small. , but when Ding Hongwei sneaked into Lu Yao's house in the middle of the night, he accidentally knocked over something and caused a noise, but Ding Bingxian and his wife heard the noise. Ding Hongwei laughed. Naturally, he was not afraid of what his father would say. It can be said that Ding Hongwei later developed a peaceful temperament, which was largely due to the influence of Ding Bingxian. "Weiwei, how is your business doing?" Ding Bingxian asked casually. "Not bad." When it came to business, Ding Hongwei immediately showed an excited look on his face. "Dad, you know, whether it is the East China Sea or other coastal areas, they are developing rapidly. We in the mainland can't compare. Don't tell me. In addition, I heard that Du Yan¡¯s girlfriend Su Qian got pregnant in Donghai. "Dad, you don't know yet, Su Qian is not only doing business, she is now becoming a strong financial woman in Donghai City." Ding Hongwei was a little envious and said, "I heard that when she first came to Donghai. I just rented a small house and started working as an agent for the internal allotment of securities by various local companies in Donghai City. Dad, do you know what internal allotment of securities is? " "I've heard of it," Ding Bingxian nodded slightly. It¡¯s the internal stocks of various units. I heard that Donghai City Government requires employees of enterprises and institutions to purchase them by administrative order.¡± ¡°Dad, you really know a lot,¡±A look of excitement immediately appeared on Hongwei's face. "Many enterprises and institutions in Donghai have issued this kind of internal securities, but it is said that the effect is not very good. If it were not for the government's administrative order, the employees of the unit would not be willing to take those colorful and worthless securities." "You said Su Qian started doing this after arriving in Donghai?" Ding Bingxian asked again. "Yeah, I don't know what Su Qian thinks. Hey, I actually don't know what Du Yan thinks. Su Qian must have resigned to Donghai after listening to his words," Ding Hongwei continued, "But I heard It is said that people from the Song family helped Su Qian a lot in this matter, that is, Mr. Qiao. It seems that Su Qian¡¯s initial agency office was under the name of Mr. Qiao¡¯s company in Donghai City, and it was also Mr. Qiao. I introduced her to some clients from large companies in the East China Sea, and then she started working on it." As he spoke, Ding Hongwei showed an envious look again: "Dad, you know, it won't be long before Su Qian is gone. Now she has an office in Jiangdong Financial District in Donghai. Do you know how much the annual rent is for that place? Dad, listen to me" Ding Bingxian raised his hand slightly to interrupt Ding Hongwei. As he spoke, he took a sip of tea silently, then looked up at his son. Seeing Ding Bingxian's attitude, Ding Hongwei had to shut his mouth obediently. Although the relationship between father and son was harmonious, and the Ding family did not have so many rules, Ding Hongwei knew that as long as his father looked at him with that look, he would It means that he has actually seen through himself completely. "You also want to follow Su Qian's example of doing the financial agent business, right?" Ding Bingxian asked slowly. "Haha, Dad, that's real money, and it sounds pretty. What's it called? Financial Consulting Center, it makes me perk up when I hear it." "No." Ding Bingxian said without paying any attention to Ding Hongwei's words. Thoughts: "Don't even think about this. Just do your business in the south. Even so, as long as you do your job honestly and don't make mistakes, the money you make now is enough for you to have a worry-free life in the future, so there is no need for you to get involved in this matter. "Dad, why? Look at Su Qian" "If I say no, I can't!" Ding Bingxian's voice became unusually stern. He looked at Ding Hongwei, who was stunned, and then looked at Ding Hongwei, who was standing inside the door. Hearing the movement, Ding Bingxian sighed softly at Lu Yao, who was looking towards the courtyard, "Weiwei, there are some things I can't talk too deeply to you, because after all, you are not from this circle and you won't understand even if you say it. Secondly, you are too casual and have no control over your words. I won¡¯t trust you if I tell you. I will only tell you one thing: it is other people¡¯s business to make money. Even if Su Qian can buy Donghai City in the future, it belongs to others. Yuanfa, you can't touch this side. If you don't listen to me, you will suffer big losses in the future." Ding Hongwei's lips moved. He was obviously still unwilling, but he knew from his understanding of his father. Even though Ding Bingxian was not so strict with his son at ordinary times, and sometimes he was even a little bit indifferent, but once he got serious, he would definitely stick to his word, and no one could make him change his mind. "But I don't understand, Dad, it's okay if you don't let me do this, but you have to at least tell me why." Ding Hongwei decided to try harder. Ding Bing first raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, and then picked up the school bag on the table next to him: "I don't have time. I'll go to work first and then talk to you in detail when I get back. But before that, you should think about it yourself. Think about why you can never do what Su Qian can do." At this point, Ding Bingxian patted his son's shoulder lovingly, "Son, if you can really figure out this, I will rest assured about you in the future. " Watching Ding Bingxian walk out of the yard, Ding Hongwei thought for a long time, and finally muttered "What and what?" Then he turned around and entered the house inexplicably. Ding Bingxian usually likes to walk to work. At this time, although he has not reached the point where officials as big as sesame seeds and mung beans are full of authority and authority in later generations, he is also a deputy secretary of the county party committee who ranks third in the county. Ding Bingxian was famous for his good temper when he was the editor-in-chief of Pingling News. Even when he was the deputy secretary of the county party committee, he would go to the back mountain to play with his old chess friends when he had time. A few plates. So although many people recognized him along the way, except for some people who wanted to be familiar with him in front of the deputy secretary and walked over in a polite manner, most of the acquaintances just said hello casually. Ding Bingxian liked this kind of casual and relaxed environment. Sometimes he even doubted whether it was right to agree to Li Peizheng to work again, but he also knew that from the moment Gao Ke decided to restart Chuping's inter-provincial railway plan, No matter what I think, everything now is actually doomed. Ding Bingxian walked leisurely along the Xiaoqing River, and saw bursts of machines in the distance.The roar caught his attention, and he knew it was Factory 307 being relocated and renovated. Speaking of Factory 307, Ding Bingxian couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Because of the contradictions in restructuring, people's attention had been attracted to the heavy machinery factory before, but in fact, the heavy machinery factory was not the only company with the same problem. The Seventh Factory is a national enterprise that is in trouble like the Heavy Machinery Factory, but after all, the Heavy Machinery Factory still has a solid foundation and a more or less sustainable market. ??And because Factory 307 used to be a military industrial enterprise, with the country¡¯s shrinking control over the military industry, Factory 307¡¯s life has become difficult. Now, Factory 307 is even relying on selling factory buildings and land to support workers¡¯ living expenses. Ding Bingxian frowned slightly. He remembered that not long ago, Du Yan seemed to have mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that he wanted to make a fuss about using the large land of Factory 307 to revitalize Factory 307. He even seemed to have mentioned it That method could be used to solve the problem of a way out for the workers during the restructuring of the heavy machinery factory. However, with the sudden Geng Zhen incident, normal work was suddenly completely delayed. Thinking of Geng Zhen, Ding Bingxian could only sigh softly. Geng Zhen was undoubtedly a general under Cui Jianbin, secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, but for some unknown reason, there was some kind of estrangement between Geng Zhen and Cui Jianbin. This was not only the case with Geng Zhen before. It is really inexplicable to claim that the evaluation report has been lost. More importantly, it has been almost a week since Geng Zhen¡¯s incident. But up to now, not only has the city not made a clear statement, but even Geng Zhen¡¯s funeral, the city Only a low-ranking deputy secretary-general of the municipal government was sent to participate. As for the municipal party committee, no one participated. This is of course because Geng Zhen¡¯s death is really dishonorable, but more importantly, Cui Jianbin is using this attitude to tell others not to make any plans based on Geng Zhen¡¯s incident! If in the past Cui Jianbin showed some incompetence or was too forward-thinking in many things, then in the Geng Zhen incident, Cui Jianbin rarely showed a kind of determination, but in the eyes of many people, this kind of determination seemed Somewhat cold and cold. Another person came over and said hello to Ding Bingxian, and Ding Bingxian responded casually. Just when he was about to pass by that person, that person suddenly grabbed Ding Bingxian's arm! Immediately afterwards, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side. With a hoarse shout, a middle-aged woman knelt down in front of Ding Bingxian, hugged his legs and cried miserably: "You are wronged! Ding!" Secretary, you have to make the decision for us! My daughter Chu Lin died unjustly!" Following this cry, the man who grabbed Ding Bingxian's arm also burst into a dull but desperate cry: "Secretary Ding Ah, you have to make the decision for me!" "Old Chu, what are you doing?" Ding Bingxian, who had woken up, yelled in a low voice. At this time, he had recognized that these two people were Chu Lin's parents! Speaking of which, Chu Lin¡¯s father and Ding Bingxian worked together for a period of time in their early years. Because of this, Ding Bingxian helped Chu Lin somewhat when she returned to Pingling after graduation and joined the county party committee. Because Geng Zhen was involved, after careful consideration and in accordance with the county committee¡¯s decision, it was Tu Xiangdong who went to Chu Lin¡¯s house to solve the problem. According to Tu Xiangdong¡¯s report when he came back, it was clear that the Chu family could not accept the reason why Chu Lin was involved due to an accident, so they seemed very emotional at the time. But even though he had already considered the possible changes, Ding Bingxian did not expect that someone from the Chu family would suddenly find him on his way to work! Chu Lin's father clutched Ding Bingxian's sleeves with his hands. His eyes were red, and his slightly stubborn face tightened. His lips couldn't help trembling because of excitement. When he heard Ding Bingxian's words, he just He kept shaking his head. "Secretary Ding, we are not willing to give in! We are not willing to carry the dirty water even though the children are gone!" Lao Chu, who could still control his emotions, lowered his voice and said, "You know, Xiaolin, this child is not the kind of person who doesn't keep herself. Yes, but some people say that our Xiaolin got killed because she was fooling around with others. Last night, people from the Geng family came to our house, and they smashed up our Xiaolin¡¯s mourning hall!¡± Unable to control his emotions, Lao Chu let out a long-suppressed wailing in his throat, "Secretary Ding, you have to say something fair for our Chu Lin!" "A member of the Geng family?" Ding Bingxian's eyebrows immediately frowned. He never expected that Geng Zhen's family would do something like this. Because he was worried that Geng Zhen's family would do something drastic, the city had sent people to his house to do work, but no one expected that Geng Zhen's family would do something drastic. Family members would suddenly come to Chu Lin¡¯s house to cause trouble. "Secretary Ding! You have to make the decision for our family Chu Lin!" Although Ding Bingxian took a step back, Chu Lin's mother immediately grabbed Ding Bingxian's exposed leg, butHe kept crying, "The Geng family members are unreasonable. They smashed up our Xiaolin's mourning hall. This is such a desperate thing that we, Xiaolin, can't even live in peace underground!" "Old Chu, let your family Calm down, I think you two are determined to die without giving Chu Lin a good reputation. Does this kind of thing have to cause trouble in the city and everyone knows about it?" Ding Bingxian waved his sleeves and scolded Lao Chu. After hearing what Ding Bingxian said, Lao Chu, who had regained consciousness a little, instinctively looked back at the crowd surrounding him. Then he suddenly pulled up his wife, his eyes fixed on Ding Bingxian and said word by word: " Secretary Ding, I, Lao Chu, don¡¯t want to put you in trouble! But I¡¯m leaving my words here today. If the Geng family doesn¡¯t give our Xiaolin an explanation, I won¡¯t be done with the Geng family no matter how hard I try!¡± He turned around and left with his wife, leaving behind only Ding Bingxian, who was watching their backs and thinking alone. Because people from the Chu family showed up halfway, Ding Bingxian was unusually late. When he just walked up to the second floor, he saw Tu Xiangdong who was already standing at the top of the stairs. "Xiangdong, what's going on with the Geng family?" Ding Bingxian asked. He knew that Yitu Xiangdong always had sharp eyes and ears, and he must have known in advance what he encountered along the way. "I was about to report to you, Secretary Ding," Tu Xiangdong followed Ding Bingxian into the office. "Secretary Li already knows that some people from Geng Zhen's wife's natal family came to Chu Lin's house yesterday and not only smashed Chu Lin's mourning hall, but Someone also threw a bunch of broken shoes at the door of Chu's house. "Oh?" Ding Bingxian frowned. He had never heard of this, but after all, Chu Lin's father was not crazy enough to do this in front of people on the street. The embarrassing thing was also revealed, "Where are the Geng family members now?" "We were afraid that the Geng family people would cause trouble again, so after we found out, we went out to look for them all night. Now they have all been arranged to the county party committee guest house," Tu Xiangdong lowered his voice at this point. Voice: "The Geng family members are saying that Geng Zhen was killed because he offended someone. Although they didn't say it clearly, the implication is that Geng Zhen died because of others." "Nonsense!" Ding Bingxian, who has always been known for his easy-going. For the first time, there was a hint of anger on his face. "What do they want to do? Are they afraid that the matter is not big enough or that Geng Zhen's death is not embarrassing enough? Do they have to reveal everything about him and let Geng Zhen be ruined?" Are you willing?" Looking at the angry look on Ding Bingxian's face, Tu Xiangdong secretly sighed. If Li Peizheng's anger was more about the impact after hearing that the Geng family was making trouble, then Ding Bingxian's anger was obviously deeper. The meaning is in it. " Such a commotion happened on the eve of Gao Ke's inspection, and the Geng family still spoke like that. This was like a fatal blow to Taihua City and Cui Jianbin himself as the municipal party committee secretary! For Ding Bingxian, more importantly, he encountered this kind of thing during his first inspection after taking office. What would Gao Ke think of him, the deputy secretary of the Pingling County Party Committee? And when Du Yan and Su Qian arrived at the county town at noon and heard what happened at Chu Lin's house, the first thought in Du Yan's mind was: "Who is going to muddy the waters here?" Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 65: Getting what you want? Seeing Su Qian walking into the house, Gu Weifen was stunned for a moment, then immediately burst into tears. Seeing her mother like this, Su Qian, who was originally full of joy, couldn't help but hugged Gu Weifen and shed tears, which made Du Yan standing aside somewhat embarrassed. Thinking about it, he was the one who encouraged his daughter to leave home and took advantage of it. The slight discomfort when she saw Gu Weifen disappeared with Su Qian's cry. On the other hand, Su Qian's father, Su Guozhong, was happy for a while when his daughter came back, and then he took Du Yan and sat aside. Su Guozhong always drank a lot. When he saw Du Yan, he took out a cup, filled it and handed it to Du Yan. "Uncle, try this." Du Yan knew Su Guozhong's temper, so he simply put the four bottles of Qingguo wine he had brought on the table and opened a bottle. "This is the new wine from our Daqing winery." "Yipinzhen", please try it, you are an expert in wine tasting. ""Yipinzhen?" Su Guozhong said as he eagerly opened the seal and put the delicate wine bottle away. He smelled it under his nose, and then looked at Du Yan with some surprise, "The taste of your wine is not strong, but the aroma is really good." "Uncle, drinking now is different from before. What matters is taste," Du Yan said Looking at Su Guozhong closing his eyes and savoring the aroma of the wine, he secretly thought that his previous thoughts seemed to be fine. "Uncle, I want to discuss something with you." After hearing what Du Yan said, he was crying with his daughter. The smiling Gu Weifen immediately stopped. Her eyes kept looking back and forth on the faces of her daughter and Du Yan. When she saw Su Qian's shy look, although she was somewhat prepared in her heart, Gu Weifen still felt as if she was touched. There was a pain in my heart that I had been avoiding. Su Guozhong slowly opened his eyes. He looked Du Yan up and down with a half-smiling expression on his face. This made Du Yan a little nervous. "Xiao Du, if you have anything to say to uncle, just say it." "Uncle, there are a few things. How about I tell you first?" Du Yan decided to be clever, or simply wanted to calm down first. Seeing Su Guozhong's surprised look when he heard this, Du Yan smiled. Laughing, "Uncle, I want to hire you to be the sommelier of our New District Qingguo Winery. What do you think?" "Sommelier?" Su Guozhong looked at Du Yan with some surprise. Although Du Yan's current status is to his father-in-law Finding a good job is really nothing, but Su Guozhong was somewhat surprised when he heard such a "high-end" name. "Sommelier? Isn't that someone who drinks all day long?" Gu Weifen interrupted with some dissatisfaction. At the same time, she secretly glanced at Du Yan's face while speaking. Now she was somewhat afraid of this "son-in-law" "Your Uncle Su has been drinking wine all day now. If you become a sommelier, you still don't have to soak in the wine vat?" "What do you know? Sommeliers are high-level intellectuals. Do you think it's casual?" Anyone can do it?" Su Guozhong scolded his wife, and then looked at Du Yan with a meaningful smile on his face. "I said, Xiao Du, your uncle, I just like this, but you also know that all I drink is What the hell, I just drank the good wine you sent me recently, why? Even Uncle Su can be a sommelier? Xiao Du, tell me the truth, are you thinking about corrupting your Uncle Su first? , and what are you thinking about? " Du Yan was sweating slightly on his forehead. Although he knew that Su Guozhong was difficult to deal with, he didn't expect that his old father-in-law was really a shrewd man. As soon as his curvy thoughts were revealed, others Give it a clear look. "Uncle Su, Aunt Su, let me tell you straight. I ask you to agree to marry Qianqian and me." Seeing that he couldn't escape the impending knife in the end, Du Yan simply made it clear. "Qianqian, is this true?" Even though he was prepared, Gu Weifen still looked at Su Qian unexpectedly. When he saw his daughter turned around and ran into her room with a red face, Gu Weifen looked at Su Qian at a loss and fell silent after hearing Du Yan's words. Su Guozhong came down, "Old Su" Su Guozhong raised his hand to stop Gu Weifen from talking. He looked at Du Yan seriously. It wasn't until Du Yan started to sweat on his forehead that he asked, "Xiao Du, you and Qian We all know about Qian" Hearing what Su Guozhong said, Du Yan's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Su Guozhong already knew that he had not only eaten the girl's daughter into his stomach, but even ate the marrow and tasted it again? eat? "We also know who you are, Xiao Du. Just because of this, I don't object to your association with our family Qianqian," Su Guozhong continued. At this time, in Du Yan's eyes, this father-in-law, whether in his previous life or in this life, then This kind of momentum is really no worse than those of the provincial and municipal leaders he has met. "Xiao Du, you are officially proposing today. I just want to ask, can you promise that you will not change your mind in the future?"When Su Guozhong asked, Du Yan's expression gradually became serious. He stood up, nodded slightly to Gu Weifen, and then stood in front of Su Guozhong in a polite manner and said, "Uncle Su, Aunt Su, I can guarantee you in front of your two elders. I will never let Su Qian down in this life. No matter what job I do or what position I hold in the future, my feelings for Su Qian will always come first." Listening to Du Yan's words, Gu Weifen was tense. Her face slowly softened. She looked at her husband and then at Du Yan. She hesitated, opened her mouth, and then said, "You can do whatever you want." Then she suddenly covered her mouth and turned around and entered Su Qian's room. "Alas, the daughter I have raised for so many years has suddenly become someone else's daughter-in-law. Alas," Su Guozhong sighed and picked up the empty wine glass on the table, but raised his head and looked at Du Yan. Here you go, shouldn't I pour a glass of wine for my father-in-law? " "Ah, I should." Du Yan, overjoyed, immediately picked up the bottle and filled it with Su Guozhong. "Thank you, dad!" "You're really good at this! Climbing along the pole is worthy of being an official." Su Guozhong burst out laughing when he heard Du Yan call him "Dad". There was loud laughter outside, but in the room, mother and daughter Gu Weifen and Su Qian were hugging each other and crying. "Qianqian, have you really thought about it clearly?" Gu Weifen held her daughter in her arms and patted Su Qian's tender shoulder gently. "Your promise will last a lifetime. You don't want to think about it anymore?" "Mom, I have thought about it clearly. , I have thought it through a long time ago." Although Su Qian had tears on her face, the joy from her heart was undisguised. "Du Yan is good to me, and I like him too. I don't want him to be anything else in the future. Official, as long as he treats me well, besides, although my time in Donghai is short, the money I have earned is enough for us to live in the future. Even if he is not satisfied as an official in the future, we can still do business to support ourselves. " " Qian. "Qian, but I'm still a little worried. You also know Du Yan" Gu Weifen looked at her daughter worriedly, but seeing Su Qian's determined look, she didn't know what to say for a moment. I also know that you two are really nice, but Du Yan has big ideas. He became the leader of the county party committee when he was only 25 this year. This official will definitely have to be promoted in the future. What if he changes his mind in the future? Do you still remember that? Is her name Zhao Xiaoyun? I heard that Du Yan is very close to her? " "Mom, Zhao Xiaoyun is the middleman arranged by Mr. Qiao from Huachang to contact Du Yan. The contact between them is all about work. Don't think too much. " Su Qian explained softly that although the unexplainable relationship between Xiaoyun and Du Yan was always a pain in her heart, Su Qian defended Du Yan in front of her mother because she knew that Gu Weifen was impulsive. And if you don't have a good temper, you may drag this matter outside regardless of the consequences, which is obviously very detrimental to Du Yan. "What about Du Fei? That's not a fuel-saving lamp. It's not like you can't tell what that little girl is thinking about her brother." Gu Weifen was still worried. Thinking of the various troubles her daughter might encounter after marrying him, she thought While she finally found a home for her daughter, she couldn't help but feel conflicted in her heart: "Sister-in-law and sister-in-law can't get along with each other. What's more, the Du family is different from other families. If Du Fei really gets into trouble with you because of jealousy, you will have a hard time in the future." "Mom, you make it sound like Du Yan is more popular with girls. If so, why were you so opposed to my association with him before?" Su Qian said helplessly. She could see that Gu Weifen was indeed Worrying about her reminded Su Qian of the fact that although her mother was overbearing and sometimes even unreasonable, she was really worried about her future. Thinking of this, Su Qian hugged her mother even harder, "Mom, don't worry, I am now We have a good relationship with Xiaofei. Besides, Xiaofei is still young now, so she only cares about children. It will be fine if Du Yan and I can find a suitable boyfriend for her when she gets older. " Looking at my daughter's face when she mentioned the future. With a look of admiration naturally revealed, Gu Weifen sighed softly: "Since you have already made up your mind, I, as a mother, can't control it. Let's leave it like this. Later, you ask Du Yan to send a message to his parents. Let¡¯s meet the parents and let your dad and his dad settle this matter.¡± Having said this, Gu Weifen paused for a moment, then burst into tears. Seeing her mother¡¯s appearance, Su Qian couldn¡¯t help but feel sad. Come, an indescribable bitterness made her cry bitterly in her mother's arms. We had lunch at Su Qian's house. Looking at the mother and daughter who were cooking in the kitchen and wiping away tears from time to time, Su Guozhong and Du Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly at each other. "Xiao Du, you are lucky. When I went to Grandma Su Qian's house to propose marriage, I was only two miles away," Su Guozhong, who was enjoying the taste of 'Yipinchun', whispered to Du Yan. "That's called passing five levels and slaying six generals. What's your little difficulty now?" "Dad, what you're talking about is," Du Yan said with a smile.Yes, he said with a low posture, "Speaking of which, I was about to tell you that I am planning to expand the winery in Daqing. You have done it in the county supply and marketing before. Can you see if you can help me then?" Let's find a solution for the winery? " "You want to move Daqing's winery to the county?" Su Guozhong looked at Du Yan with some surprise. "You are really thoughtful. Tell me, how can I help you?" Seeing that Su Guozhong regarded himself as his father-in-law at this time, Su Qian's face turned slightly red while she was walking over with the dishes. At the same time, she glanced at Du Yan worriedly. A period of training in Donghai City opened Su Qian's horizons. Although she knew that Du Yan did this all for her, she thought that if her father really came up with random ideas, he might even rely on Du Yan's father-in-law to interfere in the winery. Work had a bad impact on Du Yan, and Su Qian couldn't help but worry secretly. Especially when she thought about the rumors she heard about Geng Zhen and Chu Lin on the way here, Su Qian felt even more uneasy. "Instead of moving to our county," Du Yan shook his head, "I want to expand the winery to Linchi." "Linchi?" Su Guozhong looked at Du Yan with some surprise, "You are too ambitious, Linchi has it." "Kui Bai Bai', that's an old brand in Linchi for many years. It's not easy to defeat them." "I don't want to defeat 'Kui Bai Bai'," Du Yan smiled slightly. He knew that he probably didn't have his true thoughts yet. People can see through it, but the Su Guozhong in front of him happens to be a good candidate for him to implement his ambitious plan. "You go to work in the winery first, and I will explain it to you in detail." After hearing what Du Yan said, Su Guozhong nodded. First, since he is Du Yan's father-in-law, Du Yan has to arrange a suitable job for himself. When he thinks of this, Su Guozhong looks at his daughter who is busy with his wife in the kitchen. My old Su is destined to have a good life. What a good girl. After eating, Du Yan left Su Qian behind and did not let her go home with him. He knew that there must be many things going on in the Su family, and he had to talk to his parents before going home. After making arrangements with Su Qian to meet at home in the evening, Du Yan left Su Qian's house. Du Yan walked slowly and relaxedly on the street. This time Su Qian's return not only allowed him to finally have a taste of their long-cherished wish, but also coaxed and deceived Fang Jiqing. This really made Du Yan Overjoyed. However, he also knew that if it was Su Qian's ability, even if she spoke lotus flowers, Fang Jiqing would not easily agree to come to a remote place like the mainland with her. There must be other reasons. Thinking of this, Du Yan I couldn't help but think of what Fang Jiqing had inadvertently revealed the night before that Tunghai University had recently received several free grants from the community. Thinking of this, Du Yan stopped and saw a public phone booth on the roadside. He walked over, picked up the phone, and dialed a familiar number. The ringer only rang twice before the call was connected, and then a standard greeting came from the phone: "Hello, this is the Tongyang office of Huayang Group. Who are you?" "Xiao Zhu, I'm It's Du Yan." Du Yan smiled slightly. Every time he heard Xiao Zhu's standard greeting, he would think of the cautious waitress in Qifengshan Hotel, but Xiao Zhu was now very different from before. "Hello, Director Du," a voice full of joy came from the microphone, "Are you looking for Director Zhao?" Hearing that Xiao Zhu still used the previous name for Zhao Xiaoyun, Du Yan vaguely felt that Xiao Zhu should not It's just that Zhao Xiaoyun's subordinates can also be regarded as close associates of the Song family or Qiao Luowei. If Zhao Xiaoyun is Qiao Luowei¡¯s assistant, then Xiao Zhu is the assistant of Assistant Zhao Xiaoyun. "Is Director Zhao here?" Du Yan asked softly. He felt that there was no need to hide it. If he thought about it carefully, he knew that even Gu Weifen knew that there was some ambiguity between him and Zhao Xiaoyun. How could the Song family not be aware of it? Woolen cloth. It¡¯s just that so far, the Song family has always maintained an indifferent attitude towards the matter between him and Zhao Xiaoyun, which makes Du Yan a little unsure about how the Song family views this matter. Zhao Xiaoyun has a fianc¨¦, and Du Yan knows this, but until now he has never seen a man run into a rage in front of him or want to catch an adulterer. This thought suddenly made Du Yan feel that he seemed to be more honest than Geng. Much luckier. "Unfortunately, Director Du, Director Zhao went out yesterday," Xiao Zhu's slightly regretful voice came from the microphone, "She didn't say where she was going before, but you can call her pager number to contact her. The number is " Taking a pen and tapping Zhao Xiaoyun's paging number a few times, Du Yan looked at the number and smiled. Pagers have become very popular in coastal areas at this time. Although they will soon be replaced by mobile phones and even digital phones in less than two years, in this era, they canOwning a paging device is a symbol of status. However, due to various reasons, the communication business in the mainland has developed much slower than in coastal areas. In addition to provincial capitals, only some large cities have established base stations and the coverage area is not large. At least in Taihua City this year Construction of the first paging base station began at the beginning of the year. Du Yan put Zhao Xiaoyun's paging number away, and just when he was about to turn around and leave, a slightly hesitant voice came from behind: "Du, Du Yan?" Du Yan turned around after hearing the sound, only to see a young woman hugging him. The child was really standing not far behind him. "Wang Liqing?" Du Yan said hello slightly surprised. This young woman is the wife of his former classmate Sun Feng. She is also his and Su Qian's middle school classmate. "It's you. Where is Sun Feng?" Seeing Du Yan With a casual look, Wang Liqing, who was originally hesitant, also showed a slightly relaxed smile, but when he asked about Sun Feng, the smile on Wang Liqing's face slowly faded: "Sun Feng is looking for work everywhere now, you know, right? , the heavy machine factory has completely stopped working. " Du Yan nodded silently. Although the original evaluation report on the heavy machine factory's assets was someone who deliberately underestimated the capital out of selfish motives, it is an indisputable fact that the future of the heavy machine factory is difficult. And as far as Du Yan knows, even if it follows the original historical trajectory, the heavy machinery factory will still be in trouble in at most two years due to heavy burdens, the inability to adapt to market changes, and the ulterior selfishness of some people. Thousands of workers will still fall into the painful abyss of unemployment. By that time, the heavy machinery factory was eventually dismissed as a victim of the wave of restructuring in the name of bankruptcy. "You were right at first. You didn't enter the factory but went to the cultural center. Now you are the leader of the county party committee." Wang Liqing looked at Du Yan with envy. Seeing that there was nothing strange on Du Yan's face, she continued with a slight annoyance. He said, "Our Sun Feng is just an idiot. He can't do anything but make noises all day long." Listening to Wang Liqing's words, Du Yan sighed secretly in his heart. Different circumstances make people different. Du Yan still remembers meeting Sun Feng and his wife on the street when he was at his lowest in his previous life. At that time, although the workers at the heavy machinery factory had also been Troubled by the shadow of being laid off, after seeing their own misery, Sun Feng and his wife still showed a bit of pride and pride, but now it has completely reversed. "By the way, Sun Feng has gotten very close to your old man recently," Wang Liqing's eyes flashed with hope. "Du, Du Yan, can you help Sun Feng find a job?" "I'll think about it, Sun. Feng's skills are quite good, I know that." Du Yan nodded and saw the disappointment on Wang Liqing's face. Du Yan could only smile bitterly in his heart. Thinking about it, he had indeed changed a lot, compared with his old classmates. He can't help but speak with an official accent. No wonder Zhao Xiaoyun always calls himself a little bureaucrat. Looking at Wang Liqing walking away with her child in her arms, Du Yan's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. The restructuring crisis at the Heavy Machinery Factory has not yet subsided, but something happened to Geng Zhen, who participated in the restructuring investigation. I think at this time, not only Pingling and Taihua, but also the province may be suspicious of Geng Zhen's death. After all, there is indeed Many people were involved, and Geng Zhen's unexpected death made it difficult not to suspect that it was a coincidence. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because of this that some people want to use Geng Zhen¡¯s death to cause trouble. Pingling County is not a big city to begin with, so the fact that the Geng family made a fuss about the Chu family and even destroyed the Chu Lin mourning hall had already spread throughout the city overnight. Du Yan and Su Qian had already heard the news before they even entered Su Qian's house, and whether it was intentional or not, Gu Weifen vividly spread the rumors while eating. If it weren't for Su Guo Zhongzhong interrupted her when she couldn't listen anymore. It is estimated that Gu Weifen will continue to use this matter to make insinuations and give Du Yan a good beating. Thinking of the way Gu Weifen gritted his teeth when he mentioned that Geng Zhen had a wife who was still having sex outside, and then thinking of the unclear relationship between himself and Zhao Xiaoyun, Du Yan felt that he really didn't condemn Geng Zhen. Qualifications, but now Geng Zhen has become a dead ghost, and the evaluation report is probably placed in Liang Benchu's safe at this time. Thinking of Liang Benchu, Du Yan couldn't help but think of Chu Yilan. The evaluation report was sent to Liang Benchu, and then Chu Yilan suddenly landed in Pingling. If there was no connection, it would be unbelievable. Du Yan was wondering as he walked, his frowning eyebrows twitching slightly. The reason why Du Yan chose to hand over the evaluation report to Liang Benchu ??was because of Liang Benchu's rather subtle relationship with the Song family. But now judging from Chu Yilan's surprise appointment, it is obvious that Liang Benchu ??communicated with Chu Ping after receiving the evaluation report. . Judging from the relationship that Chu Ping still maintains in Hexi, it is just that his daughterIt is entirely possible to advance the scheduled appointment time slightly. In this way, Chu Yilan can take office after mastering the inside story of the restructuring of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory. This can be said to be for Chu Yilan's career. A move to buy insurance! But that's not the second step. Thinking about Gao Ke coming down for an inspection, and Chu Yilan holding on to the pigtails remade by the heavy machinery factory at this time, Du Yan almost looked at this step with an answer that was ready to come out. It seems sudden, but the interlocking chess pieces say "Okay!" ¡°There is no doubt that facing this situation, both Yang Weiquan, the executive deputy governor of Hexi, who is behind Cui Jianbin, and Sui Jianchao, Liu Wenliang¡¯s father-in-law, who is the Minister of Machinery Industry, must be indecisive at this time. Who would have thought that the restructuring of a factory in a small mainland county would lead to so many people and things, and that the behind-the-scenes game might even involve some of the top people. When he reached the door of his house and raised his hand to knock on his courtyard door, a huge thing in the open space across the alley caught Du Yan's attention. When he slowly turned his head and saw clearly the familiar Mitsubishi Pajero parked across the alley, Du Yan felt that his head was a little big. Volume 4, "Volume 3, Official Sailing" Chapter 66, Love Deeply Seeing Du Yan and hearing the sound of the courtyard door, Du Fei, who walked into the courtyard, first shouted to the house, "Mom, my brother is back!" Then she took a few steps forward and reached out to grab Du Yan's clothes. sleeve. "Brother, you came back at the right time," Du Fei happily pulled Du Yan towards the house, "Did you know that we will go home today?" Although seeing the Pajero outside the hospital, he already thought that Zhao Xiaoyun should be here too. , but when Du Fei said "we", Du Yan still felt a slight pain in his already big head. If it were other times, although it might be a little embarrassing, even if Zhao Xiaoyun and Su Qian could still deal with each other, today is really not a good day. The thought of Su Qian coming to his home at night, and before that Du Yan had to tell his parents that he had gone to Su Qian's house to formally propose. Du Yan felt that he should read the almanac before doing so. Du Yan, who felt a little bitter but felt helpless, was pulled into the main room by Du Fei. When he saw Zhao Xiaoyun standing up to greet him after hearing the news, Du Yan couldn't help being slightly startled. Zhao Xiaoyun is wearing a military uniform. Years of training have given her a refreshing and refreshing aura even when standing casually. Although the military uniform styles of this era cannot be compared with those of later generations, Zhao Xiaoyun still exudes a sense of fullness when wearing it. A scent of unique charm. "Xiaoyan, what a coincidence today, you all came back in a hurry." Seeing her son enter the room, Sang Shulan said casually at first, and then glanced at Zhao Xiaoyun next to him with a slightly strange look. Zhao Xiaoyun obviously noticed Sang Shulan's action. Although her face looked calm, Du Yan, who was already quite familiar with her, noticed from the slightly tightened corners of her mouth that Zhao Xiaoyun was obviously a little nervous at this time. Ashamed and annoyed. "In the past, Du Yan would have liked to see Zhao Xiaoyun's interesting look the most, but now looking at Zhao Xiaoyun's expression, Du Yan felt a slight chill on his forehead. It seemed that his forehead was soaked with cold sweat. "Xiao Fei, why are you going to school? Did you skip school?" Du Yan said hello to Zhao Xiaoyun casually, while trying to distract his mother's attention by teaching Du Fei a lesson. Speaking of which, although Sang Shulan had a straightforward personality, she was not at all The style of captain Iron Girl has not diminished, but when it comes to gossiping, she is no worse than other women. Just from the look she looked at Zhao Xiaoyun just now, it can be seen that in Sang Shulan's opinion, there is no relationship between Zhao Xiaoyun and her son. There must be something that interests her. "Who is playing truant? I asked for leave." Du Fei looked at his brother unhappily. "You wish I wouldn't come back for a year. I haven't been home for a long time." "As long as you Just don't delay your homework," Du Yan said casually just to distract his mother's attention, shook his head slightly, then turned to Zhao Xiaoyun and asked casually, "Xiaoyun, do you have anything to do here this time?" "I have something to do," Zhao Xiaoyun said. Nodding, her expression had completely returned to calm at this time. "Actually, I was going to the new district to find you. It's a coincidence that you came back." "Oh?" Zhao Xiaoyun is coming to Pingling. This Zhao Youxun has already said a few days ago, But Du Yan didn't expect that she would come at this time, and she would go directly to his home with Du Fei. "Mom, Xiaoyun and I will go to my room to talk about some work first," Du Yan said to Sang Shulan as soon as his mind changed. "Su Qian will come over to see you and my dad this afternoon." At this point, Du Yan gritted his teeth and continued. Said, "We want to tell you something." After hearing her son's words, Sang Shulan's eyes lit up at first, and then she couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xiaoyun. Thinking about it, my son¡¯s real girlfriend is coming over, but his son is alone in the house with such a young and beautiful female officer. What would Su Qian think if she saw this? What's more, from the hints in Du Yan's words, Sang Shulan had already vaguely guessed what they were going to say. "I don't have much to do. I'll leave in a moment. I won't waste too much of your time, Director Du." Zhao Xiaoyun said calmly. As soon as he heard Zhao Xiaoyun's name, Du Yan knew something was going to be bad, but since things had reached this point, he had to find a way to deal with it first. He reluctantly showed a smile to Zhao Xiaoyun, and then led the way to his room. Seeing the two of them entering the house, Du Fei raised her legs and was about to follow, but Sang Shulan grabbed her collar from behind and pulled her back: "You girl, why are you causing trouble? You didn't look at your brother." Are you in trouble now? " "Haha, I didn't expect that my brother is really capable, and he even fell in love with Sister Xiaoyun," Du Fei laughed softly, "Mom, who is better, Su Qian or Sister Xiaoyun? Where did you learn these nonsense from home?" Sang Shulan raised her hand as if to hit her daughter, but then she looked at Du Yan's room opposite and couldn't help but sighed worriedly, "How can you say this? If you don't have a girlfriend, you won't have anything. , this has?It¡¯s not one, what can we do? " Zhao Xiaoyun, who followed Du Yan into the room, stopped at the door after entering the room. She looked coldly at Du Yan who turned around with an apology on his face. After being silent for a while, he said coldly: "I'll come. Just to tell you, this time Gao Ke comes down for inspection, Qiao will always come with him. " "Mr. Qiao is coming with you? "Du Yan glanced at Zhao Xiaoyun with some surprise. It can be said that both Qiao Luowei and Song Jiayi are extremely low-key. Speaking of which, this has been the style of the Song family for many years, even to those who are called Pindad and Pinye in later generations. In this era, although there are constant news about the second and third generations on the Internet, the Song family is rarely involved in such things. But if you think about it, it can be said that Song Youbo is the mastermind of the Song family. People who have various influences on the future direction of the entire country are only gradually known after many years. From this point of view, the Song family's consistent style of not claiming fame has indeed brought them countless benefits. But in this case. Why did Qiao Luowei come to Taihua uncharacteristically with Gao Ke, who was destined to attract the attention of all parties? "Mr. Qiao came here with Gao Ke's economic inspection team," Zhao Xiaoyun said in a cold tone. Ke must make a big gesture when he comes down for inspection this time. I heard that in addition to the officials from government departments who came down, there are also many inspection representatives from the industrial and commercial circles of Hexi Province. "At this point, Zhao Xiaoyun glanced at Du Yan, with a slightly sarcastic look on his face. "Speaking of which, you have given Gao Ke a big favor this time, which made Governor Gao feel more confident for this inspection. few. " Du Yan knew that Zhao Xiaoyun was talking about sending the evaluation report to Liang Benchu. This once again proved to Du Yan that his previous guess was correct. Obviously, Liang Benchu ??had already contacted Gao Ke or Gao Benchu. Chu Ping reached some kind of agreement behind Ke, and that¡¯s why Chu Yilan suddenly took up the post. ¡°This time, Mr. Qiao only came with him as an ordinary representative of the business community in Hexi Province. People don¡¯t know her identity,¡± Zhao Xiaoyun continued, ¡°Also, Mr. Song called me some time ago and asked me to tell you to come to the capital. "Having said this, Zhao Xiaoyun turned his head slightly and said, "He is getting married. " "Jiayi is getting married, with that" Du Yan asked and then stopped. He couldn't help but think of Song Jiayi's secretary named Ou Xiaowan, imagining Ou Xiaowan's loneliness and pain at this time, Du Yan He couldn't help but look at Zhao Xiaoyun, "What are you looking at me for?" "Zhao Xiaoyun turned her head and looked at the corner. "Sister Xiaowan will go abroad in a few days, and she probably won't come back in the future. It's better to leave now. " "Xiao Yun. "Du Yan took a step forward, but was immediately stopped by Zhao Xiaoyun's stern eyes. "Don't come over, I tell you I'm carrying a gun today! "Zhao Xiaoyun looked at Du Yan coldly, "You really made me anxious, I will die in front of Su Qian! " "I'm sorry, Xiaoyun. " Du Yan stopped and looked at Zhao Xiaoyun. He didn't know what to say at this time, but looking at Zhao Xiaoyun's seemingly tough but unable to conceal his inner excitement and sadness, Du Yan felt pity from the bottom of his heart. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he really couldn't distinguish between Su Qian and Zhao Xiaoyun. The two-life relationship with Su Qian and the ups and downs with Zhao Xiaoyun were full of tacit understanding and secret passion. At this time, he couldn't help but feel in his heart Colliding. ¡°You are also going to marry Su Qian, right? "Zhao Xiaoyun asked. Seeing the uneasy look flashing across Du Yan's face, Zhao Xiaoyun smiled bitterly. "Mr. Qiao told me before that Su Qian is very powerful now. She is a well-known strong woman in the financial circle of Donghai City. , and according to Mr. Qiao, even some people in the Song family have paid attention to the small-amount securities agent Su Qian works for. Mr. Qiao said, although these are all your ideas for her, it seems that your girlfriend is really capable. " "Qianqian is indeed beyond my expectation," Du Yan was slightly embarrassed after hearing Zhao Xiaoyun praise Su Qian frankly. "I have always thought that she can only be a good wife and mother. Now it seems that I underestimated her before. Just like you, she is my favorite and most distressed woman. " "Don't get involved with me. Haven't you bullied me enough? "Seeing Du Yan approaching, Zhao Xiaoyun's expression immediately became stern, but this time he did not frighten Du Yan. On the contrary, when Du Yan stretched out his hand, he first lightly touched her cheek, and then his hands followed the military uniform. When the curvy figure of the package fell on her amazingly slender waist, Zhao Xiaoyun couldn't help but shrink back slightly in fear, and then was pulled into his arms by Du Yan. "You're crazy again. , Su Qian will be here in the afternoon," Zhao Xiaoyun wanted to say something harsher, but as soon as the words came out, there was a feeling of ambiguity no matter how they were heard. Seeing that Du Yan, who was close at hand, heard her words A strange smile flashed across his face, and Zhao Xiaoyun's face suddenly turned red, "Don't you??Let me go, what do we call this? " "I don't know Xiaoyun, but if you ask me to let you go, I really can't do it," Du Yan kissed Zhao Xiaoyun's hair that was a little messy due to struggle. When his lips fell on Zhao Xiaoyun's lips, he He felt Zhao Xiaoyun's hands that were originally slapping his back suddenly tightened, "Xiaoyun, we must have had a bad relationship before, otherwise how could we meet in this life?" " "Du Yan, let me go, Su Qian will help you in the future, and Mr. Qiao, do you know how much Mr. Qiao has helped you in the past? Zhao Xiaoyun, who was breathless after being kissed by Du Yan, twisted his body slightly and said hastily, "Can't you feel that Mr. Qiao treats you differently, but why do you love to pester me?" " "Don't talk about others at this time, it's just the two of us, just us. "Du Yan kissed the person in his arms vigorously. Zhao Xiaoyun's words made him feel uneasy, or he was deliberately avoiding it. Whether it was with Su Qian, whom he loved wholeheartedly, or he always seemed to be distant but never really. Having left Qiao Luowei, Du Yan felt an inexplicable sense of guilt when he heard their names. "Du Yan, do you think it's really just the two of us? " Zhao Xiaoyun's helpless voice sounded in Du Yan's ears, which made Du Yan's heart chill slightly. He finally slowly let go of Zhao Xiaoyun and looked at the familiar face. Du Yan slowly sat down with his face He looked at the beloved woman in front of him with a wry smile: "Xiaoyun, what do you want me to do? " "I don't know," Zhao Xiaoyun took a step back. She lowered her head and slowly tidied up her messy military uniform. Her movements were slow and serious, as if she could keep doing it, but she finally finished it. , when she raised her head, Du Yan saw that Zhao Xiaoyun's expression had completely calmed down, "Du Yan, we don't know what will happen in the future, but I remember you once said that you would never give me up to others. Du Yan, I don't want to end up like Sister Xiaowan, but I also don't want to be a burden to you in the future. So I want you to think about what you should do if you don't want to let me go. " Listening to Zhao Xiaoyun rarely look at the relationship and the future between the two in such a calm and realistic way, Du Yan's originally depressed heart gradually became active. As Zhao Xiaoyun said, there are still so many things waiting for him now Of course, children love each other, but if they don't have enough power and status, all this will be in vain. "Xiaoyun, I found that you have the potential to be a good wife," Du Yan put a smile on his face, "Okay, that's it. As you said, in order not to let you go, I should work harder. "But Zhao Xiaoyun still left. "Although he told himself many times in his heart that he should be stronger, or even indulge himself and stay, at least he could not be like a deserter who was intimidated by the enemy, fleeing the position early before seeing the enemy, but Reason still told Zhao Xiaoyun what kind of trouble it would bring to Du Yan if she insisted on staying, so she left the Du family early, just like a soldier who did not dare to meet her opponent and fled her position. After the car parked on the side of the road, Zhao Xiaoyun sat in the car and was stunned for a while, and then a few tears silently fell on the steering wheel. Before dinner that day, Su Qian came to Du's house and had received the news. Du Zhenhai deliberately returned home early. During this period of time, Du Zhenhai has become the main worker representative of the asset review team of the heavy machine factory. Although the re-audit steps of the heavy machine factory are actually always loud and clear, at least they have been re-reviewed step by step. At first, Du Zhenhai became a busy man. In the eyes of many workers, because he had a son who was a leader of the county party committee, Du Zhenhai became a golden sign in their eyes to protect the interests of workers. So if it hadn¡¯t been for Sang Shulan¡¯s suggestion that Su Qian would come over in the evening. , probably because he wanted to discuss marriage with his son, Du Zhenhai couldn't spare the time yet. Looking at Su Qian, who was slightly shy but showing happiness, and her son, Sang Shu, who was still a little embarrassed because of what happened during the day. Lan was happy and helpless at the same time. She was here. Sang Shulan could not see the seemingly calm but resentful look on Zhao Xiaoyun's face when he left. Even though Zhao Xiaoyun had cleaned it up very carefully, she could not see it. From some small details, Sang Shulan could also guess that the two people in Du Yan's room were definitely not just chatting. Now looking at Su Qian sitting side by side with Du Yan in front of her, Sang Shulan became angry. She glared at Du Yan, and what worried Sang Shulan, apart from the trouble her son had caused, was her daughter sitting next to her who also didn't want to worry about it. "Mom and Dad, Qianqian and I have discussed it and made preparations. I'll go get my marriage certificate in a few days. "When Du Yan said this, he clearly felt that Su Qian sitting next to her was shaking slightly. He stretched out his right hand to hold Su Qian's left hand, feeling the slightly warm temperature in his palm.Yan couldn't help but turn his head and look at the girl beside him with her head lowered. This is the wife he has been married to for two lifetimes. She was the other half who stayed with him through thick and thin in the last lifetime, and he will continue to have a destiny with her in this lifetime. At this moment, Du Yan felt that he was really happy. If he felt satisfied that his destiny had changed after he woke up from the dream and was reborn, at this time, he felt that everything he had done before seemed so insignificant compared to this moment. "Qianqian, have your parents promised you something?" Although he already knew the result, Du Zhenhai still asked according to the rules. Seeing Su Qian's silent nod, Du Zhenhai smiled, "That's good, that's good. Let's do this. Tomorrow, Du Yan's mother and I will go to your house to officially propose marriage, and then we will set a date for your wedding. " Su Qian's head could not be lowered at this time, and the happiness came so fast that she even felt a little bit. Afraid, even though she knew what happened between her and Du Yan just now, and Du Yan's parents could not object, the nervousness at that moment still made her palms sweat. But when she raised her head slightly and saw Du Yan looking at her and smiling. When she looked like this, Su Qian seemed to finally realize that she and Du Yan were really getting married! Sang Shulan took out a small wooden box from her side. She first glanced at Sophie, who was sitting next to her silently but not looking at Du Yan and Su Qian's faces, and then slowly opened it. Box. What is slightly surprising is that what is placed in the box is a thin silver chain with a bullet with a hole drilled in it! Su Qian looked at Du Yan in confusion, then at Sang Shulan. "Qianqian, you have known about Xiaoyan's background for a long time," Sang Shulan looked at Su Qian lovingly. "Speaking of which, I like you because although you know Xiaoyan's background, you have never disliked him. You He is a good boy. It is his blessing that Xiaoyan met you. " Sang Shulan said and took out the silver chain from the box. Seeing Sang Shulan's action, Du Yan suddenly felt sour and wanted to drop it. The urge to cry. In her previous life, Sang Shulan also took out this silver chain before she married Su Qian. At that time, Du Yan's situation was as if it was a different life compared to now. "Your father and I found Xiaoyan during a major earthquake. At that time, many places in Taihua were affected by the disaster and were experiencing turmoil. There was no place to find the whereabouts of his parents. Maybe" Sang Shu Lan stopped at this point, "When we picked him up, there was nothing else on him except this. We also tried a lot of methods but could not find his parents. You also know that we have a lot of military industry in Taihua." The work units, some of them were moved from other places. At that time, it was impossible to tell who was against whom, so we took Xiaoyan in. Not long after, our whole family followed the heavy machinery factory to Taihua. " "Qianqian," Du Zhenhai said next, "Xiaoyan is the son of our Du family. This is the son of our Du family everywhere. However, it is Xiaoyan's duty to find his biological parents. We probably have no chance to help him. Now leave this to us." You, you are his wife. From now on, it is up to you to help Xiaoyan if he has the chance to see his relatives again." Looking at the solemn expressions on the faces of Du Zhenhai and his wife, Su Qian, who was originally shy, stood up. When she got up, she and Du Yan looked at each other, and then they slowly knelt down in front of Du Zhenhai and his wife in tacit understanding. "Mom and dad, don't worry. Du Yan will be handed over to me from now on. You have raised him for so many years and given him a home. I will treat him well in the future and we will be filial to you two." Listening to Su Qian's words, Sang Shulan's eyes slowly filled with tears. She reached out and touched Su Qian's cheek gently, then pulled her to stand up. Du Zhenhai next to her pulled Du Yan up and spoke in a slightly stern tone. Said: "How can such a big man and a leader of the county party committee kneel down casually?" "Dad, you are wrong," Du Yan wanted to laugh but felt his nose was slightly sore. It¡¯s against the law.¡± Du Zhenhai didn¡¯t say anything else, he just patted his son hard on the shoulder! Du Fei sat aside and watched silently. Gradually, the trace of anger that was still on her face slowly faded away, and her smart eyes turned slightly red. "Sister Qianqian," Du Fei came over and took Su Qian's hand, "Don't take it to heart when I made things difficult for you in the past. You will be my sister-in-law from now on. You and my brother will definitely be happy." "Xiao Fei !" Su Qian hugged Du Fei happily. She was indeed a little worried about this sister-in-law. After all, she knew Du Fei's feelings for Du Yan very well. Now after hearing Du Fei's blessing words, Su Qian The worries in Qian's heart disappeared. After returning to his room with Su Qian, Du Yan took out the silver chain from the box andWith Su Qian's face turning slightly red, she gently unbuttoned her top and hung the silver chain around Su Qian's neck very gently. "Du Yan, what are you doing? This is what your parents left for you. You may have to rely on it to find your family in the future." Su Qian said slightly surprised. "My home is here, and it will be your home in the future as well as our children's home." Du Yan kissed Su Qian's bare shoulders and the smooth skin between her collarbones. "I don't know who my biological parents are, but I am grateful that they gave birth to me and left this thing so that I can give it to you and you will wear it from now on." Listening to Du Yan's whisper in her ear, Su Qian smiled slightly. Closing her eyes and feeling the deep love for her from the man in front of her, she knew that Du Yan only loved her at this time. "As long as you love me," Su Qian whispered to herself in a low voice that Du Yan couldn't hear. "Don't let me know about other things. I don't want to know either." Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 67 Governor Gao Ke A long convoy of cars, station wagons and a few motorcycles was driving on the Tongtai Provincial Highway. Far away on the road ahead, a police car was clearing the way with its lights flashing. At the front of the convoy, Taihua City Public Security Bureau Chief Yao Baibin was sitting in a police car. From time to time he picked up the walkie-talkie next to him and contacted the police car in front of him. This is the motorcade of Gao Ke, the governor of Hexi Province, inspecting Taihua City. Although many local cadres in Hexi regard him as the leader of Hexi cadres after Chu Ping, Gao Ke unexpectedly remained extremely low-key after taking office. Like other places in the country, Hexi Province has been in a situation of balance between local cadres and foreign cadres for many years. In order to maintain this situation, cadres from other places will be transferred in and out from time to time, or directly parachuted in from the central government. However, perhaps due to the common habit of inland cadres with a strong sense of region, despite the changes in the domestic political situation over the years, the political situation in Hexi Province has generally maintained this pattern with the local people as the main force. , But there were some changes until Chu Ping, the previous secretary of the municipal party committee, resigned. After Chu Ping resigned, the person who succeeded him as secretary of the provincial party committee was not Gao Ke, who was favored by everyone at the time, but Feng Zhenhuai, who was the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee at the time. Feng Zhenhua was a cadre who was parachuted from the central ministries and commissions more than a year ago. Although when he first arrived in Hexi, people rumored that he came here with an eye on the provincial party secretary throne under Chu Ping. After all, many people still thought that this Not too possible. After all, Gao Ke emerged as a young cadre of Hexi Province at that time and was determined to make progress. He can be called a new generation leader of the local faction in Hexi after Chu Ping. Because of Chu Ping's support, Gao Ke was considered the most powerful candidate to succeed Chu Ping in the future. But perhaps for this reason, it was Feng Zhenhuai who had the last laugh. Gao Ke succeeded his predecessor and became the governor of Hexi Province after Chu Ping was transferred to the position of director of the Provincial People's Congress, and Feng Zhenhuai had served as secretary of the provincial party committee for more than a year. Perhaps because of the lessons he learned from his previous failure to speak too loudly, Gao Ke became much more low-key after taking over as governor. At work, he did not change the arrangements left by his predecessor that needed to be continued in many places. In terms of getting along with Feng Zhenhuai, although as a representative of local cadres, he would inevitably have different views on many things with Feng Zhenhuai, but in general direction, Gao Ke always remained consistent with Feng Zhenhuai. This made some local cadres who originally had hope for Gao Ke somewhat disappointed. Some people even secretly mocked Gao Ke for being afraid and about to become Feng Zhenhuai's yes man. But soon, Gao Ke finally began to raise his voice amidst people's various doubts and suspicions. As the governor of a province, his first set of punches was ambitious. It was Chu Ping, the former secretary of the provincial party committee, who failed to Completed, the inter-provincial railway project plan that I have always regretted! It was precisely because he wanted to promote the inter-provincial railway project plan that Gao Ke set the location of his first official inspection after becoming the provincial governor in Taihua City. As he was very familiar with Chuping's inter-provincial railway plan, Gao Ke knew very well what kind of status Taihua had in this plan. And more importantly, as domestic voices have gradually become louder and louder in the past two years for inter-provincial economic bridges, a grand economic project that connects the coast and the interior and even connects the distant Eurasian continent through West Asia is gradually becoming To be clear, on this blueprint that can be said to embody the country's major economic strategic determination in the future, with various reasons that may seem unconcerned, but become eye-catching once connected, Taihua, a domestically important country, An inconspicuous little place has gradually turned into a key node that seems to be something but not there. "It's a pity that Secretary Chu didn't win the battle," Gao Ke once secretly felt unfair for Chu Ping, but he also knew that if Chu Ping had not resigned sadly before, he would not have the opportunity to show his ambition now. For this, Gao Ke felt somewhat ashamed while being grateful. So because of this, Gao Ke has become more concerned about Chu Ping's children. Chu Yijun is now working as a secretary next to Liang Benchu, but Chu Yilan was unexpectedly transferred from Taihua to Ping by Chu Ping using his connections. Ling serves as the executive deputy county magistrate. Not only did Gao Ke know about this, he also took care of it personally. And Gao Ke was somewhat curious about Chu Ping's arrangement. After all, if someone else changed the car, the person who was transferred to Pingling might be replaced by Chu Yijun, who was his brother, but Chu Ping just sent his daughter to Pingling. , which made Gao Ke slightly surprised, but he also secretly admired Chu Ping's foresight. The convoy soon entered Taihua City. Because it had been prepared in advance, the convoy had a smooth journey. After passing through intersections with green lights flashing all the time, the convoy entered the Taihua Municipal Party Committee Courtyard. In ?In front of the steps of the Party Committee Building, a welcoming team composed of members of the Standing Committee of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee and cadres of major agencies directly under the Municipal Party Committee stared closely at the motorcade that slowly drove into the compound. When the motorcade stopped, the door of a medium-sized station wagon slowly opened. , Taihua Municipal Party Committee Secretary Cui Jianbin and Mayor Ren Shuqiang, standing in front of the team, each took a symbolic step forward, then stopped and looked at the car door. The first person to get out of the car was Gao Ke¡¯s secretary. After standing cautiously beside the car, a man in his fifties got out of the car. Cui Jianbin and Ren Shuqiang knew each other. This man was the deputy director of the Provincial Government Office. When Gao Ke got out of the car, there was a burst of warm applause in the originally quiet municipal party committee compound. Gao Ke is still less than fifty years old this year. For a cadre who is only one step away from being promoted to a provincial frontier, it is a good time for him to be young and strong. Although Feng Zhenhuai's appearance temporarily blocked Gao Ke's upward path, But for Gao Ke, there is still enough time for him to regain his ambition. Seeing Cui Jianbin walking up and extending his hands from a distance, Gao Ke smiled and shook hands with him. At this time, Cui Jianbin finally showed his prominent position as the municipal party committee secretary. Although Ren Shuqiang stood at the front like him, and the two of them walked to Gao Ke at about the same time, Gao Ke besides shaking Cui Jianbin's hand said After a few words, when he saw Ren Shuqiang, he only shook hands after Cui Jianbin's routine introduction, and then began to shake hands with other Taihua cadres. Although they just passed by in a hurry, many people still vaguely felt that Gao Ke was indifferent to Ren Shuqiang, or at least a stranger. This made people couldn't help but applaud warmly and secretly convey the news to each other with their eyes. Isn't Governor Gao's attitude toward Mayor Ren Very approved? If so, things are a little bit tricky. According to the order, the third person standing in the welcoming team was Zhang Wenliang, deputy secretary of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee. However, this son-in-law of the Sui family was also respectful and cautious in front of Gao Ke at this time, and did not dare to reveal anything that might arouse Gao Ke. dissatisfied attitude. Before Gao Ke arrived, Zhang Wenliang had already received several calls from his father-in-law in the capital. The one that made him most uneasy was not the seemingly stern instructions from his father-in-law Sui Jianchao, but the call from his brother-in-law Sui Guangyuan. On the phone, Sui Guangyuan told Zhang Wenliang to be careful during Gao Ke's inspection, and to be careful not to let Gao Ke listen to rumors about the restructuring. Although this instruction made Zhang Wenliang very embarrassed, after all, it was impossible for him to stop Gao Ke from hearing and seeing what he wanted, but before Gao Ke arrived, he still tried his best to make various arrangements. One thing that reassures Zhang Wenliang is that both Cui Jianbin and Ren Shuqiang are surprisingly consistent on the matter of Taihua's impression in the minds of provincial leaders. It is precisely because of this that when the Geng Zhen incident came out, Cui Jianbin First, at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, he was pragmatic and strictly ordered to investigate and deal with it. Later, Ren Shuqiang echoed this and pointed out that while investigating and handling, any behavior that takes the opportunity to incite and fabricate rumors must be strictly investigated and investigated without mercy. It was under this situation that Zhang Wenliang felt that there was no need to worry about his brother-in-law's advice. After all, although there were many conflicts, he did not even need to personally take action on the matter of hiding dirty water and covering the lid. Cui Jianbin and Ren Shuqiang were already impatient. I want to cover it all up. The number of people Gao Ke brought during this inspection was slightly larger. In addition to relevant cadres from the provincial government, there was also a provincial economic inspection group composed of representatives of domestic and foreign-funded enterprises in Hexi Province. Although this inspection group was viewed by some as There is some element of acting in it, but it can also be seen that Gao Ke attaches great importance to this trip to Taihua. The inspection group was quickly led to another place for a temporary rest by the cadres of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference and the Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau. Under the personal guidance of Cui Jianbin, Gao Ke and a group of cadres walked into a meeting room that had been decorated spotlessly. inside. Listening to the routine applause once again, after the opening remarks with Cui Jianbin, Gao Ke, who sat in the middle, raised his hand slightly to signal that the applause should stop. He looked at the cadres sitting around the table seriously and began to use a slightly He spoke calmly in standard Mandarin with a local accent. And his first sentence was: "I'm very sorry, comrades, I'm here to find fault this time." Listening to Gao Ke's expression was quiet and his tone was calm, but what he said was breathtaking. The unusually quiet conference room became even more silent. Everyone held their breath and looked at Gao Ke, who was sitting in the middle. "Comrades, Secretary Zhenhuai and the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government are well aware of some of the recent situations in Taihua. I came to Taihua today to hear your solutions to a series of recent situations, and That is, I hope to listen carefully to our Taihua cadres¡¯ future self-arrangements under the new economic situation in Hexi Province,¡± Gao Ke¡¯s voice said.??Although it was a little low, it was very heavy. When he said this, his eyes glanced at the cadres in Taihua, and then he continued, "Secretary Cui, please arrange to deal with the current situation in Taihua. "Let's introduce it." Looking at Gao Ke's always calm expression, Cui Jianbin tried his best to calmly start reading the report he had prepared step by step, but at this time he could no longer feel the intentional or unintentional behavior between Gao Ke and Ren Shuqiang. The small pleasure brought by the neglect. On the contrary, although Ren Shuqiang sitting next to him was also uneasy, looking at the faint sweat on the back of Cui Jianbin's neck, Ren Shuqiang was secretly glad and couldn't help but feel a little schadenfreude. Because of the meeting with Taihua cadres, the dinner time arranged at noon was nearly an hour later than usual. Looking at the many pot-bellied businessmen in the economic inspection team sitting there, they were hungry but had to look at the table. As the dishes were being served, while listening to the speeches of the officials in the central chair, some of the Taihua cadres who accompanied him couldn't help but laugh secretly. In the eyes of many Taihua cadres, Gao Ke brought these provincial company representatives to Taihua. Although it can indeed bring a lot of benefits to Taihua's economy, these people are obviously a bunch of hot potatoes. As long as you think about it, you will understand that the people who can squeeze into this inspection group will definitely not be simple people. Although these people are all businessmen, no one can guarantee that there will not be people with powerful hands and eyes. Such a group of people suddenly crowded into Taihua , no one can tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for Taihua. In addition, many people also think that Gao Ke did this just to show that he is a governor who is willing to do practical things for economic development. Although political performances are still a bit new in this era, the new official has three things to do when he takes office. But everyone understands the truth. Now it seems that Governor Gao has chosen to show the power of his three firepowers in economic construction. What surprised some cadres was that Gao Ke seemed very approachable at the banquet. Although no one at other tables dared to run to toast Gao Ke, whenever the Taihua cadres accompanying him toasted, Gao Ke would at least He would take a sip to express his gratitude. Even when the leaders of several groups of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, Municipal People's Congress and CPPCC toasted to Gao Ke on behalf of their own groups, Gao Ke not only stood up in a graceful manner to reciprocate, but also drank it all in one gulp and then offered a toast. The venue gestured slightly. This appearance made many cadres gradually relax after being nervous and worried at the beginning. Although they could also see that the leaders at the main table did not look so relaxed, they thought it was because they were with the governor, so naturally Just can't relax too much. At the main table, although Gao Ke looked leisurely and chatted and laughed, the Taihua cadres sitting with him were all uneasy and secretly uneasy. At the meeting, Gao Ke did not speak after those opening remarks. He just listened carefully to Taihua's report, whether it was Cui Jianbin's overall situation in Taihua, Ren Shuqiang's economic development, or Zhang Wenliang's Regarding political and ideological construction, the look on Gao Ke's face showed that he listened very carefully and seriously, instead of just following a formality. This made the cadres in Taihua even more uneasy. Some people were really secretly afraid, not knowing that this What exactly does Governor Gao have in mind? ?? Could it be that, after dormant for a long time since taking office, Governor Gao¡¯s first move to establish his authority will be on the three-thirds of an acre of land in Taihua? With this in mind, the atmosphere at the main table was cautious and somewhat dull. At this moment, several representatives of the industrial and commercial inspection team who came with Gao Ke came over carrying wine glasses. Although officials in this era still have deep-rooted contempt for businessmen unless they are foreign businessmen or compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan who enjoy super-national treatment, no one dares to look down upon these businessmen. Being able to join this inspection group already shows that these people have profound backgrounds, and these businessmen who dare to come over to toast Gao Ke must have backgrounds that others cannot imagine. The cadres of Taihua immediately stood up. Regardless of whether these people will settle in Taihua in the future, or whether they will become Taihua's God of Wealth or troublemakers, they must give face now. of. After toasting Gao Ke together, the business representatives began to communicate with the cadres of Taihua. Watching people talking to each other in low voices, Gao Ke sat down with a faint smile on his lips. "Governor, do you think" Lao Xu, the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government sitting next to Gao Ke, looked at the time and asked in a low voice. When Gao Ke nodded slightly, Lao Xu secretly signaled to Cui Jianbin. Cui Jianbin immediately understood and picked up his wine glass again: "Comrades and friends, let us all raise our glasses to once again thank Governor Gao for visiting us in Taihua for his first inspection.I would like to express my gratitude and wish Governor Gao a smooth inspection. I wish Taihua will achieve greater success in the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government under the leadership and guidance of Secretary Feng and Governor Gao! " As soon as Cui Jianbin finished speaking, he raised a wine glass in the air. Under people's gaze, Gao Ke slowly stood up and asked the secretary next to him to fill it up for him. Then he raised the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. " As he had done long ago, According to arrangements, Gao Ke moved into the Taihua Municipal Party Committee Xiaozhao, accompanied by Cui Jianbin alone. What made Ren Shuqiang a little concerned was that Cui Jianbin did not come out quickly after sending Gao Ke into the room, but after nearly half an hour After that, he left Gao Ke's room. This move gave Ren Shuqiang a bit of a shock, while Zhang Wenliang secretly wondered what Gao Ke had said to Cui Jianbin, but for a while it was difficult for Cui Jianbin to understand the connection. Is it okay to encounter such a big obstacle? Zhang Wenliang wondered, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. But in the eyes of others, this action clearly showed that "it seems that the province still values ??Secretary Cui." I mean, thinking about it, when Cui Jianbin walked out of Gao Ke's room, the Taihua cadres who were standing in the Xiaozhao patio chatting moved to both sides at a distance, leaving a path for Cui Jianbin. Looking at the Taihua cadres looking at him from a distance, Cui Jianbin resisted the urge to turn back and take a look at the room, but walked through the crowd with much stronger steps than usual. When he walked to Ren Shuqiang, Cui Jianbin smiled at Ren Shuqiang: "Mayor, we all heard Governor Gao's instructions at the meeting this morning. Let's take advantage of Governor Gao's rest time to hold a meeting to see how to implement the governor's instructions. instruct. " Hearing Cui Jianbin's words, Ren Shuqiang nodded silently. In the room, Gao Ke, who had washed himself a little, sat down and rested for a while. He first took out a document and looked at it carefully from beginning to end, and then slightly He pondered, and then ordered the secretary who was standing by: "Go to the inspection team and see if Mr. Qiao has a convenient time now. If so, please ask her to come over." Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 68 The Song Family Qiao Luowei walked leisurely on the tree-lined stone path of Taihua Municipal Party Committee Xiaozhao. Her steps were not fast, and the crisp sound of her high heels on the hard stone ground made the secretary who was leading the way slightly distracted. This secretary came to work for Gao Ke not long after Gao Ke became the provincial governor. Compared with Gao Ke's previous secretaries, although this secretary named Xue is highly appreciated by Gao Ke in his work, he is somewhat different from this one. There is still some distance between the two big bosses. This is also normal. As the status changes, the relationship between the leader and the secretary will also change differently. The higher the level, the more public and private the relationship between the secretary and the leader becomes. The secretary wants to not only It becomes even more difficult to be a leader's companion at work, and even more so in personal relationships. Although Secretary Xue was very curious about the relationship between the young woman behind him, who was both beautiful and elegant, and Governor Gao, he knew that this was something that must not be inquired about casually, and not only In this way, when he went to the inspection team to find Qiao Luowei, Secretary Xue paid special attention to his words and deeds, not only to fulfill Gao Ke's instructions, but also not to let those next to him compare with each other when talking to Qiao Luowei. Smart businessmen can spot something strange. This is indeed a very difficult job. But even so, when Gao Ke, the first secretary of the provincial capital, appeared at the hotel where the delegation was resting, it immediately attracted the attention of those representatives who were quick-sighted. Although they managed to get rid of it cleverly in the end, after meeting with Qiao Luowei When they left the hotel, their whereabouts still attracted everyone's attention. "Mr. Qiao, please wait a moment. I'll see if Governor Gao has time now," Secretary Xue said habitually outside Gao Ke's room. Qiao Luowei nodded. When he saw Secretary Xue looking towards the two waiters standing at the end of the corridor, Qiao Luowei had a slight smile on his lips. It seems that Gao Ke, the secretary, is not very familiar with Gao Ke. At least it can be seen from the fact that he still has some scruples. Not only does he not know his identity, he also doesn¡¯t know Gao Ke¡¯s temperament very well. Qiao Luo Wei has some understanding of Secretary Xue. Secretary Xue came out soon after entering the room. His tone was more respectful than before. Looking at Qiao Luowei, his demeanor changed from being respectful but somewhat indifferent to a low attitude and slightly complimentary. It wasn¡¯t until Qiao Luowei walked into the room and exchanged a few words with Gao Ke, and then left the room and walked to the corridor after making tea, that Secretary Xue let out a breath. Just now when he entered the room to ask for instructions, he heard that Qiao Luowei had arrived outside the door. Gao Ke, who was looking at the documents, put down the documents in his hand, and while standing up, he said casually, "Please come in, Mr. Qiao." This looks like The seemingly simple action surprised Secretary Xue, because although it had not been long since he followed Gao Ke, this was the first time Secretary Xue saw Gao Ke stand up on his own initiative except for the provincial party secretary Feng Zhenhuai. Greet guests. This made Secretary Xue's little hidden speculation disappear immediately. He knew that if Mr. Qiao really had any ambiguity with his boss, then Gao Ke couldn't have such an attitude. Since this can make the governor of a province so A formal and important person, even if her identity is not immediately obvious, it is not difficult to guess. She must be someone with powerful hands and eyes. Watching Secretary Xue exit the room, Gao Ke reached out and asked Qiao Luowei to sit down, but he did not sit down at the main seat, but sat on the sofa on the other side facing Qiao Luowei. Seeing Gao Ke sitting down opposite him, Qiao Luowei secretly paid attention. Gao Ke's posture is obviously very low, which at least reveals that Gao Ke is obviously a very realistic person. When he finds that he really needs to cooperate with others, even though he holds a high position at the provincial and ministerial level, he can still clearly understand himself. This situation gave Qiao Luowei a new understanding of the analyzes of Gao Ke's personal character and governance style that he had seen before. At the same time, Gao Ke was also looking at Qiao Luowei seriously. The young and beautiful woman in front of her, although she is a little cold and unapproachable, but has an elegant temperament, may be called the most incredible woman in Hexi Province, and even in the northwest provinces. Since the first Huayang commercial building opened in Tongyang, Huayang has developed in a rapid manner in several inland provinces centered on Hexi Province. With concepts that are obviously more advanced than other similar department store retailers, and many unique business methods that may even be unconventional in today's eyes, in less than a year, Huayang Group has successively opened stores in the three northwest provinces. The provincial capital city has several chain malls of different sizes, but all have obvious "Huayang temperament". ¡°As a result, Huayang Group naturally attracted the attention of both the business community and local governments.?However, the CEO of Huayang Group is extremely low-key. Except for the various chain malls that have their own agents, few people have seen the boss behind this retail chain group that suddenly appeared in the mainland. Although many people are asking around, but at most That is to say, they just know that the boss of Huayang Group is a woman. Qiao Luowei's unusual low profile indeed saved her a lot of trouble. Even when she participated in the inspection team this time, Qiao Luowei only participated as a representative sent by Huayang Group. However, even so, it aroused the concern of many business representatives who were in the same industry. Note that this is not only because of the Huayang Group's brand name behind Qiao Luowei, but also because of Qiao Luowei's unusually beautiful appearance and his fascinating temperament. But Gao Ke knows that the young woman in front of him, whether it is her background or her personal abilities, is definitely much more exciting and more awe-inspiring than the rumors that have been spread by the outside world. At least even if he is a The governor of the province, but when he really wants to face Qiao Luowei, he must put down his attitude and take it seriously. "Mr. Qiao, come to Taihua this time to have a look. Do you have any ideas?" Gao Ke asked straight to the point. The eldest mistress of the Song family came to Taihua with him in such a low-key manner. Gao Ke had an implicit meaning. Naturally, I understand, and the report on the restructuring of the heavy machinery factory below Taihua that Liang Benchu ??sent to him not long ago was enough for Gao Ke to make some articles on this matter. What does it mean to the governor Gao Ke? Everyone is Qin Chu. In this case, Gao Ke naturally wouldn't mind reciprocating the kindness of the Song family. What's more, although Mr. Qiao is young and a woman, she is indeed a woman who can turn stone into gold. If she can repay the favor while not only Establishing a more stable relationship with the Song family, and taking advantage of the Song family's strong background and awesome potential in the economic field, to realize his ambitions in the economic prospects of Hexi Province, is also a joy for Gao Ke. Not for. Gao Ke has his own political aspirations and ambitions. Although he inherited Chu Ping's power in Hexi Province, he is by no means the second to Chu Ping. Qiao Luowei remembered Du Yan's words relayed by Zhao Xiaoyun, which gave her a new understanding of Du Yan's insightful and keen observation skills. "Governor Gao, Huayang Group's current development has been a bit too fast. With the current level of economic development in the mainland, Huayang's plan to concentrate its existing business in the capital cities of several major provinces will not change for the time being. , this time I came to Taihua just to see if there are any other emerging industries worth developing. After all, Huayang is only a retail business so far. I personally have some ideas about industrial development, and as far as I know Knowing the current conditions of Etaihua, there is still great potential in many basic industries. " "Oh, this is very interesting. If Mr. Qiao starts up the industry, he will definitely be very ambitious." Gao Ke said seriously. Looking at Qiao Luowei, he listened very carefully to everything Qiao Luowei said. When he heard Qiao Luowei mention Taihua's basic industry, Gao Ke tapped his right fingers lightly. Click the armrest of the sofa. "Mr. Qiao, do you think it is appropriate to develop basic heavy industry in Etaihua's current situation?" Gao Ke asked with a calm expression. Gao Ke, as the governor, is very clear about the huge difficulties faced by the heavy industry in Hexi Province. Because while deciding to use Chu Ping's inter-provincial railway plan as the cornerstone to create economic achievements during his tenure, Gao Ke paid greater attention to the restructuring of large state-owned enterprises, especially state-owned enterprises in basic heavy industries, that were gradually being implemented across the country. . Now when he heard Qiao Luowei mentioning basic industries, Gao Ke secretly took a deep breath and couldn't help but feel alive in his heart! ¡°If what Qiao Luowei says now is not her personal opinion, but the Song family¡¯s intention behind her, what does that mean? Thinking of this, Gao Ke moved the fingers of his right hand gently on the armrest of the sofa again. "Governor Gao, I think you have heard something about the restructuring of subordinate units in Taihua City," Qiao Luowei slowly took out a document from his small leather bag and placed it gently between the two of them. On the coffee table, "This is a simple letter of intent from Huayang, and it is also a research report by the Huachang Group Policy Research Group. If you are interested, you can simply refer to it." "Huachang?" Gao Ke immediately realized what Qiao Luowei said. The difference in the name of the company before and after. Although there is only one word difference in the names of Huayang and Huachang, their meanings are obviously different. If Huayang is Qiao Luowei's personal stage, then Huachang is the world of the entire Song family! "Governor Gao, Secretary Chu proposed the inter-provincial railway plan to the central government twice before, but it was shelved due to various reasons." Qiao Luowei suddenly changed the topic, but after Gao Ke heard her words, His expression gradually became serious. Chu Ping has always been worried about the failure of the inter-provincial railway project. Even after he was transferred to the National People's Congress, whenever he and Gao KeEvery time I mention this, I feel regretful. As for some people who are more or less familiar with the inside story, Chu Ping, who was in office for the last few years, offended some people because of his insistence on the inter-provincial railway plan. Otherwise, given Chu Ping's age and qualifications at the time, he might not be able to do anything after his term expires. Strive upward to get a chance to move half a step. After Gao Ke took office, he first wanted to establish his personal image, and then he wanted to rectify the forces left by Chu Ping for his own use as soon as possible. He was vigorously advocating the inter-provincial railway plan. Now he heard Qiao Luowei suddenly mention that Chu Ping had Ping's fate made Gao Ke have to take it seriously. "Governor Gao, with Hexi's technical capabilities, it is not difficult to implement the inter-provincial railway plan." Qiao Luowei smiled. She knew that her words had really attracted the attention of Governor Gao. Gao Ke's attitude was very low, but Qiao Luowei could still faintly feel a hint of arrogance coming from Gao Ke. Thinking about it, it¡¯s no wonder. Even in the whole country, Gao Ke can be said to be proud enough to be the governor of a province at his current age. Even if he lowers his attitude in a realistic way, he still has some arrogance. "There is no shortage of technology in Hexi, but Governor Gao, don't blame me for saying it a bit harshly. In terms of funding, not to mention Hexi, even other provinces in the mainland will find it difficult to meet the funds required for this plan." Qiao Luowei's voice was soft. Que Ming did not hesitate at all because the person sitting in front of him was a provincial governor. Hearing Qiao Luowei's words, Gao Ke nodded slightly. He knew that what Qiao Luowei said was completely true. When Chu Ping proposed this plan, the relevant central ministries and commissions claimed that the gap in the plan was too large and could not meet the funding guarantee. Even though many people knew the reason why, the funding issue was indeed an indisputable fact. "So Mr. Qiao, do you have any suggestions?" Gao Ke said, but his eyes glanced at the document Qiao Luowei put on the coffee table. "That's right, Governor Gao, do you know what you think about the inter-provincial economic bridge strategy recently proposed by the central government with the goal of developing the inland economy?" Qiao Luowei asked softly, seeing Gao Ke looking towards her, Qiao Luowei continued, "In fact, the provincial railway plan and the inland development strategy proposed by the central government have many things in common. In this regard, it is said that even some leaders of the central government said that it seems that the northwest has the ability to People, at least, are ahead of the central government in their awareness of economic development." Hearing what Qiao Luowei said, a smile appeared on Gao Ke's serious face, but then the smile slowly disappeared. Gao Ke knows better than others why Chu Ping's inter-provincial railway plan failed, and why Chu Ping went to the National People's Congress depressed. When Qiao Luowei mentioned that a central leader said there were capable people in the northwest, Gao Ke was not only not happy, but also had a vague feeling of thorns on his back. It seems that this is the condition offered by the Song family. Looking at the document on the table, Gao Ke secretly thought in his heart. He knew that the document Qiao Luowei brought was probably the condition for the Song family to provide assistance to him. From then on, From Qiao Luowei's words, Gao Ke had clearly heard that the Song family was obviously eyeing the strong but troubled basic heavy industry in the inland provinces of the northwest! What a huge appetite, Gao Ke sighed in his heart. Swallowing the basic heavy industry in the northwest inland area sounds like a fantasy, but Gao Ke knows that if the Song family really makes this determination, then it may not be possible for them to get their wish. Although the Song family is definitely not the only one who is eyeing this piece of fat, there are not many people in the country who can compete with the Song family so far. "By the way, Governor Gao, maybe you have heard that our Jiayi will get married soon. Speaking of which, the old man has great hopes for Jiayi. If Governor Gao is free then, welcome Governor Gao came to Jiayi's wedding," Qiao Luowei said suddenly. Gao Ke's fingers moved slightly again, and he looked at Qiao Luowei seriously. After confirming that Qiao Luowei's words were not just polite, but had some obvious meaning, Gao Ke showed a smile on his face, and he gently He nodded and raised his hand to look at his watch. Qiao Luowei then stood up to say goodbye. Watching Gao Ke pick up the document on the coffee table and put it beside him while standing up to say goodbye, Qiao Luowei showed a faint smile on his always slightly cold face. Secretary Xue, who had been standing in the corridor, walked over immediately when he heard the sound of the door. When he saw Gao Ke actually sending Qiao Luowei out of the room in person, a trace of surprise flashed across Secretary Xue's calm face. Seeing Gao Ke and Qiao Luowei still saying a few words at the door, Secretary Xue immediately stopped and looked back at the two waitresses at the end of the corridor who were also looking at this side. But Gao Ke didn¡¯t seem to care. After a few more polite words with Qiao Luowei, he motioned Secretary Xue to see the guests off on his behalf.When passing by the two waiters, Secretary Xue clearly felt that their eyes moved slightly with Qiao Luowei's figure, which made Secretary Xue couldn't help but immediately underestimated the quality of Taihua's staff, so When he sent Qiao Luowei out and turned back inside, he looked at Lao Hou, the director of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse, who was standing at the edge of the foyer downstairs and smiling at him. The look on Secretary Xue's face couldn't help but Slightly gloomy. "Director Hou, right?" Secretary Xue tried his best to make his voice more approachable, but whether it was his status as the first secretary of the provincial government or the look on his face, Lao Hou, who was smiling, immediately felt a pang in his heart. "Governor Gao is going to trouble you during this time in Taihua. Governor Gao likes to be quiet and doesn't need too many people around when it's not necessary. Please make some arrangements." After finishing speaking, Secretary Xue paused for a moment. Nodding, he turned around and walked into Xiaozhao. Lao Hou stared blankly at Secretary Xue's back, then his expression changed, his face turned pale, and he shouted in an off-key voice to the deputy director of the guest house who was following him: "Who is on duty at Governor Gao's side? Call me over!" Qiao Luowei walked slowly on the gravel path, the sound of high heels hitting the ground seemed crisp but slightly monotonous in the quiet afternoon. The sun shone through the gaps between the dense trees on both sides, casting patches of light and shadow on the path. She looked down at a ray of sunlight that was shining on the ground in front of her through the shade of the trees. She didn't know why Qiao Luowei was so light. Taking a step forward, a pair of beautiful long legs happened to stand in the light and shadow. A faint white light immediately appeared on the legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings exposed under the hem of the skirt. Qiao Luowei stood in the light and shadow for a moment, feeling the slightly hot sun shining on her legs. She slowly turned her head and glanced in the direction of the municipal party committee's Xiaozhao. When they broke up, Gao Ke's polite behavior of going out to see off guests had a deeper meaning in Qiao Luowei's opinion. where is this place? A little trick from the Taihua Municipal Committee, even if all the staff here can keep their mouths shut and don't look at things that shouldn't be seen and don't say things that shouldn't be said, it's completely impossible to keep any secrets in a place like this. What's more, when Gao Ke's secretary came to the inspection team to find someone, various speculations had probably spread, and the fact that Qiao Luowei was the eldest mistress of the Song family was not a big secret. As for Gao Ke coming back before leaving, After going out to see off guests like this, Qiao Luowei could guess that soon the rumors about Gao Ke's relationship with the Song family would spread throughout Hexi Province. Thinking of this, Qiao Luowei's cold face showed a slightly indescribable look. Gao Ke's bones indeed have completely different political characteristics from Chu Ping. If Chu Ping still retains a trace of the past in his heart The little arrogance of a scholar, then Gao Ke is a real political animal. "Gao Ke is really a born politician, he's almost like that little bureaucrat," Qiao Luowei thought to herself, a figure flashed before her eyes, but then her heart skipped a beat, "Why did I suddenly think of him? Then? Long time no see, he might have forgotten about me." Qiao Luowei, who was a little irritated for no reason, frowned slightly. She took a step forward and continued to walk forward. When she reached the car that was waiting for her, When I was about to bend down to get into the car, a chaotic shout suddenly came from far away! Qiao Luowei stopped and looked at the source of the sound. Although it was separated by several buildings, she could still vaguely hear that it was the sound coming from the direction of Taihua City Government. "Old Zhao, drive over and have a look." Qiao Luowei got into the car and ordered the driver. The driver immediately started the car, and after skillfully turning the wheel in a circle, he drove in the opposite direction along the road beside the wall of the municipal party committee compound. Qiao Luowei, who was sitting in the car, did not ask. Lao Zhao was specially equipped for her by the Song family. In addition to driving, he was also responsible for protecting her safety. When he knew that she was coming to Taihua, Lao Zhao had already come to check the route in advance. . The car drove along a quiet road outside the wall behind the Taihua Municipal Party Committee compound towards the city hall. To Lao Zhao's surprise, he was stopped by a police car parked in the middle of the road not long after driving. . Qiao Luowei did not let Lao Zhao identify himself, but parked the car on the side of the road, looking at the shadowy and swaying crowd on the road in the direction of the city hall in the distance, and several cars passing by with their police lights flashing. The police car did not turn on its siren, and a look of contemplation flashed across Qiao Luowei's cold face. "Old Zhao, go and ask what's going on." Qiao Luowei ordered. Old Zhao seemed a little worried about what he wanted to say, but when he saw Qiao Luowei's expression, he immediately got out of the car and came back to inquire after a while. "Mr. Qiao, it seems that someone is demonstrating and petitioning at the city government," Lao Zhao said. "I heard that workers from several state-owned enterprises in Taihua City who were not performing well heard that some big leaders from the province came down."The police officer was willing to take this opportunity to petition. Now the Taihua Municipal Bureau has blocked the road. " Qiao Luowei nodded without saying anything. After looking through the car window for a while, she told Lao Zhao to drive away. One by one, police cars passed by Qiao Luowei's car, and it seemed that the entire Taihua area was in a flash. All the police were concentrated on this short road. But even so, Gao Ke, who was in the municipal party committee, finally learned about the workers¡¯ petition and was reading Qiao Luowei¡¯s report. Gao Ke, who was writing the document, looked gloomy. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 69 Taihua's Sleepless Night Ren Shuqiang sat in the dark office, silently dazed, and didn't even notice Zeng Jing walking in in the dark. Seeing Ren Shuqiang like this, Zeng Jing stood at the door and paused for a moment, then slowly walked around the desk and walked behind Ren Shuqiang. By the moonlight, Zeng Jing saw Ren Shuqiang¡¯s eyes fixedly looking into the sky, but his eyes never moved. In Zeng Jing¡¯s memory, she had never seen Ren Shuqiang like this. Ren Shuqiang has always been conspicuous in Taihua City for his monopoly of power. Even though Cui Jianbin has been the municipal Party committee secretary in the past few years, many people know that the most effective speaker in Taihua is Mayor Ren. This is not only the result of Ren Shuqiang being a strong man and monopolizing power, but also the result of Ren Shuqiang cultivating power in Taihua and placing his subordinates. Although it cannot be said that the entire Taihua City is dominated by Ren Shuqiang over the years, there is a group of people who have followed Ren Shuqiang to cheer him up, whether in the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee or in various units in the lower districts, counties and city. But today, Ren Shuqiang is in an unprecedented crisis. First, as the person with the highest voice to succeed Cui Jianbin, Gao Ke¡¯s lukewarm attitude towards him has attracted the attention of others. What¡¯s even more fatal is that in the afternoon, there was an unexpected emergency such as workers going to the city hall to gather and petition! The workers were eventually persuaded to leave, but the impact of this incident was clear to everyone! During the inspection of superior leaders, an unexpected incident occurred in front of the city hall to petition. This can be said to be a fatal blow to any mayor, not to mention that this is Gao Ke's first inspection since he became the provincial governor. , only from the fact that Gao Ke not only came down by himself, but also brought those industrial and commercial inspection groups, we can know how much Gao Ke attaches great importance to this inspection and to the first external display of his policy policies in Taihua! But at such a time, something like that happened. Ren Shuqiang could not forget the way Cui Jianbin looked stern and reprimanded him in a tough tone in front of everyone when he rushed to the city hall after hearing the news. This was the first time that Cui Jianbin was so unscrupulous, and even scolded him in front of so many cadres, which seemed audacious to Ren Shuqiang. At that time, Ren Shuqiang felt that the eyes of those cadres seemed a little strange. As the secretary of the municipal government After nearly an hour of persuasion, the general manager finally persuaded the workers to leave. When he came back to report, Ren Shuqiang could feel that the secretary-general, who had always been obedient to him, paid more attention to Cui Jianbin during the report. Reaction. At that moment, Ren Shuqiang suddenly felt that he had been busy for many years, but his hands suddenly became empty. Although he has always been suppressed by himself, Cui Jianbin is, after all, the municipal party committee secretary and Taihua's squad leader. This is an indisputable fact that no one can deny. Even a little use of this authority is enough for others to see clearly who He is the head of Taihua. Ren Shuqiang has not encountered such a setback in many years. Except for the time when he tried to aspire to be the municipal party secretary, but was snatched away by Cui Jianbin who suddenly descended from the air, Ren Shuqiang never thought that he would face such a setback again. frustration. Zeng stood calmly behind Ren Shuqiang and rubbed his temples. Every time he encountered something, Ren Shuqiang would ask her to help him relax in this way. However, this time, Ren Shuqiang was not like before and quickly got out of trouble. Get rid of it, but just sit in the chair and be lost in thought without any awareness. "Mayor Ren, is the matter serious?" Zeng Jing asked in a low voice in Ren Shuqiang's ear. Seeing Ren Shuqiang's eyes flickering in the darkness, Zeng Jing stopped and walked around to him and then asked, "Could Cui Jianbin be responsible for what happened during the day?" "What the hell?" "No," Ren Shuqiang shook his head affirmatively, "I know this guy Lao Cui, but even if he has this heart, he doesn't have the courage." When he mentioned Cui Jianbin, Ren Shuqiang's voice was full of accustomed contempt. To Zeng Jing's ears, this originally represented Ren Shuqiang's always strong tone, but now it seemed a little hollow. "What about Governor Gao" Zeng Jing continued to ask carefully. According to the previous arrangement, Gao Ke should hold a joint symposium between the functional departments of Taihua City and the local business community in the afternoon, and then inspect the municipal government and some major agencies and units in Taihua City. However, due to the unexpected incident of the city government gathering crowds to petition, in addition to the symposium being held as usual, the itinerary for inspecting government agencies had to be temporarily modified. Throughout the afternoon, Gao Ke didn't seem to know what was happening at the city government, which was just around the corner. When he participated in the symposium, his speech was concise and clear, and at the end of the meeting, he even temporarily proposed that he take the lead. The visiting delegation representatives had free exchanges with representatives from the local business community, turning the entire symposium into a small investment fair. This made the Taihua cadres who were always uneasy?I was relieved, but after the symposium, Liu Zhi, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, contacted Gao Ke¡¯s secretary and prepared to ask Gao Ke to inspect the government units in Taihua according to the revised itinerary. However, Gao Ke¡¯s secretary Gao Ke simply refused in the name of feeling unwell. By this time, people already knew that Gao Ke had not only already known about the incident that had just happened, but also judging from the fact that his secretary rejected Taihua's arrangements with such a simple excuse, Gao Ke had obviously already expressed his concern for Taihua. Very dissatisfied! "How is Zhenping's recent business going?" Ren Shuqiang suddenly asked. Zeng Jing's heart skipped a beat. After working in the officialdom for so many years, relying on her appearance, intelligence and the natural advantages of women, Zeng Jing got something that most others couldn't get after giving a lot. If she has any weaknesses, , that is his younger brother Zeng Zhenping. "Zhenping has been very well-behaved recently," Zeng Jing said seriously. Although she had been the mistress of the man in front of her for several years, Zeng Jing felt that she did not understand this man, even though almost all of his affairs had passed through her. Even those huge bankbooks were placed at her home instead of his wife's. "Should I remind him to be careful lately?" "Be careful, it seems someone is watching," Ren Shuqiang said slightly. Nodding, his eyes gradually became firm at this time, and he turned back to the strong mayor who kept his word in Taihua City. "Xiao Jing, I know that Zhenping's business has grown during this time. I heard that he is in Pingling "The company in Pingling is very lively now. Zhenping saw it as an opportunity, so he went there to lay a foundation. After all, it is not a long-term solution to stay in the nightclub industry," Zeng Jing explained. Seeing Ren Shuqiang's noncommittal nod, Zeng Jing's heart calmed down slightly. "Is there something wrong with the company over there? Should I ask Zhenping to stop if necessary?" "It's not that time yet," Ren Shuqiang shook his head. "Something happened to Geng Zhen this time. It was a coincidence that it somehow involved Zhenping's company in Taihua, but after all, it was not directly related to him. Besides, although this was a bad thing, it did allow me to catch Lao Cui. Pigtails are a good thing. " "But isn't Secretary Cui also eyeing Jin Ding?" Zeng Jing asked with a slight frown. "If you target them, target them. Only when everyone has something to do with each other can things be done easily. That's why I say that Lao Cui didn't let Lao Cui do it this time. Don't say he doesn't have the guts. Even if he did, he wouldn't be stupid enough to do anything wrong." "Putting the pot on his head." Ren Shuqiang curled his lips slightly. "If I fall, he may not be able to recover. But I recently told Zhenping to be careful. After all, it is a time like this. If necessary, the nightclub should be temporarily closed." In a few days, the big tree attracts the wind." After saying that, Ren Shuqiang stretched out his hand and hugged Zeng Jing: "Xiao Jing, tell Zhenping, making money is a good thing, but don't let yourself fall into it for money, it will not be worthwhile." "I I know Ren Mayor," Zeng Jing nodded knowingly. This woman was able to stumble along the way, but she was always able to seize opportunities. This is because she knew when to rely on her own capital to gain benefits, but when to be cautious. Keeping one's duty and being cautious have a lot to do with it. This is also the reason why Ren Shuqiang likes and trusts her. "But who is doing this? These people are really courageous. After all, they are playing tricks under Gao Ke's nose." Zeng Jing then asked doubtfully. "It seems that Taihua City is going to be uneasy." Ren Shuqiang did not answer Zeng Jing's words, but fumbled for a cigarette from the table. A small firelight lit up in the darkness, and then turned into a faint light. point. While Ren Shuqiang and Zeng Jing were worried about the day's events, Taihua Municipal Party Committee Secretary Cui Jianbin was sitting in the lounge outside the living room of Gao Ke's residence. On the sofa opposite him, Gao Ke's secretary was drinking with him. Tea. "Secretary Cui, this is Governor Gao's favorite chrysanthemum tea. It tastes good and refreshing. Please try it." Secretary Xue raised the cup and gestured slightly to Cui Jianbin. After Gao Ke returned to his residence, he ordered someone to find him. Although this was somewhat beyond Cui Jianbin's expectation, Cui Jianbin thought it must be because of what happened at the city hall in the afternoon. If he didn't feel gloating about Ren Shuqiang's situation at this time, even Cui Jianbin himself didn't believe it. But when he thought about how Gao Ke viewed the entire Taihua City, Cui Jianbin felt that the conflict with Ren Shuqiang was temporarily classified as " Contradictions among the people¡± is more appropriate. Cui Jianbin is from the south. He is actually not used to drinking this kind of scented tea, which has a slightly stronger taste and is more preferred by northerners. But of course he would not show it in front of Secretary Xue. Instead, he drank it carefully and then praised the taste of the tea. Absolutely. Listening to Cui Jianbin¡¯s words, Secretary Xue chatted slowly with him with a reserved smile on his face. Although he saw Cui Jianbin¡¯s eyes drifting towards the door of the living room several times, he ignored him.   But suddenly, Secretary Xue, who had been chatting quietly with Cui Jianbin, changed his expression slightly. He stood up and raised his hand to signal to Cui Jianbin, and then quickly walked to the door leading to the living room. As the door opened, Gao Ke's hearty laughter came from the room, which surprised Cui Jianbin. Although Secretary Xue said that Gao Ke was waiting for guests, he couldn't think of this. Who else could make him, the secretary of the municipal party committee, wait for so long? Cui Jianbin even thought that Gao Ke was expressing his dissatisfaction with what happened in the afternoon through this move. But now listening to Gao Ke¡¯s whisper, Cui Jianbin was a little confused. When he saw a young woman with a graceful expression and a cold temperament that he and Gao Ke had made one after another, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little confused. "Comrade Jianbin is here." Seeing Cui Jiabin, the smile on Gao Ke's face faded slightly, but he still looked pleasant. "Come, let me introduce to you. This is Chairman Qiao of Huayang Group, a well-known person in the province." The boss of the Huayang chain of shopping malls, a real big capitalist." Upon hearing Gao Ke's words, Cui Jianbin immediately stepped forward and extended his hand, although when shaking hands, he clearly felt Qiao Luowei's slight indifference. , but Cui Jianbin did not feel unhappy because of this. The fact that the representatives of the inspection team came down with Gao Ke's team shows that these people are by no means as simple as ordinary business elites. Although some of them can attract Gao Ke's attention purely because of their wealth and wealth, they can also attract Gao Ke's attention. It also at least shows that these businessmen are somewhat close to Gao Ke. ?? And Huayang Group has gradually gained a foothold and opened up the market not only in Hexi, but also in other inland provinces. This is enough to show that Huayang Group has a strong background. What¡¯s more, Gao Ke asked him to meet the chairman of Huayang Group at this time. Cui Jianbin believed that this was by no means an accidental move. "Governor Gao, then I won't disturb your work." Qiao Luowei said goodbye to Gao Ke, then gave a slight signal to Cui Jianbin and turned to leave accompanied by Secretary Xue. Cui Jianbin noticed that Qiao Luowei did not leave when he left. He took the initiative to shake hands with Gao Ke, who always had a faint smile on his face. After Qiao Luowei left, Gao Ke motioned to Cui Jianbin to follow him into the reception room. What caught Cui Jianbin's attention was the two teacups placed opposite each other on the two sets of sofas on one side of the reception room. Gao Ke slowly walked to Daheng's sofa and sat down. After Secretary Xue came back to change the tea and quietly exited, Gao Ke said to Cui Jianbin: "Comrade Jianbin, you also know that our Hexi is famous for its large resources and poor economy. Households. Especially some large state-owned enterprises, which have become a big problem in the province in recent years. I invite you here to talk about the situation of several state-owned enterprises in Taihua. Now I want to hear what Gao Ke said. , Cui Jianbin¡¯s heart skipped a beat! Although he knew that the restructuring of Taihua state-owned enterprises was probably one of the main purposes of Gao Ke's inspection this time, when the matter came to an end, Cui Jianbin suddenly realized that the petition incident that happened during the day might be a serious matter for him or Ren Shuqiang. It will become an insurmountable hurdle! Thinking of this, Cui Jianbin, who had already been mentally prepared for a deep self-examination, couldn't help but be secretly frightened for a moment when he saw Gao Ke, who was calmly holding a cup and drinking tea silently. "But he had to answer the questions raised by Gao Ke, so Cui Jianbin reluctantly sorted out the clues in his mind and began to report to Gao Ke step by step. Gao Ke listened silently. He did not interrupt Cui Jianbin's words. Although sometimes he seemed to raise his head and glance at Cui Jianbin in some places, as if to remind him to speak in more detail, he always remained a listener. consciousness. Although it was still unclear how Gao Ke would react to what happened during the day, Cui Jianbin could at least listen to his own explanation, which made Cui Jianbin feel a little more relaxed. Cui Jianbin¡¯s report didn¡¯t last long, because he had heard before that Gao Ke didn¡¯t seem to like long speeches, but when he finished speaking and waited for Gao Ke¡¯s reaction, the room fell into a brief silence. Gao Ke did not speak immediately. He took two sips of the tea and after savoring the slightly bitter aroma, he slowly said: "Secretary Jianbin, regarding Taihua's economic development in the next few years, Do you have any ideas? " Hearing Gao Ke's words, Cui Jianbin's heart lit up. Although he was not sure whether Gao Ke's words were implying that his position as secretary was still very stable, at least it seemed to him It sounded like good news, and then thinking about Yang Weiquan, who as the executive deputy governor, was gradually making more and more powerful voices in the province, Cui Jianbin felt that although there had been a lot of turmoil recently, his position seemed to be quite solid. . After all, compared with himself, although Ren Shuqiang has been operating in Taihua for many years, he is not very strong because he is notWith a backer, it is inevitable that it will seem a little weak. "It's just that when we encounter workers' petitions now, if we can't come up with a satisfactory explanation as soon as possible, not to mention in front of Gao Ke, even Yang Weiquan will have some opinions about himself. "Governor, we will strengthen the ideological work of state-owned enterprise employees and establish an overall view. At the same time, we will try our best to solve the urgent problems for the majority of workers and comrades to ensure that the enterprises work normally and the social order is stable and orderly" Cui Jianbin answered immediately, seeing Gao With a dull expression on Ke's face, he continued, "In addition, we will try our best to find ways to help companies get out of trouble. At least the inspection team brought by the governor this time has established good connections with the business community in Taihua. I believe With the strong advocacy and support of the governor, this must be a good start." After Cui Jianbin finished speaking, he looked at Gao Ke seriously. When he saw Gao Ke nodded slightly, he was nervous and finally smiled slightly. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, Comrade Jianbin, that's all we're talking about today." Gao Ke looked at his watch and stood up. While shaking hands, he said calmly to Cui Jianbin, "When I go back, I'll talk to Comrade Shuqiang about the state-owned enterprises in Taihua." In the future, I hope that the Taihua Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will have an effective method to change the current situation and hand in an answer that satisfies Secretary Zhenhuai and the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government. " Looking at Gao Kefu. With his seductive expression, Cui Jianbin, who was originally feeling a little at ease, couldn't help but feel uneasy again. After Cui Jianbin left, Gao Ke took out the document Qiao Luowei gave him from the desk drawer. Looking at the title "Review Report on Restructuring of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory", Gao Ke used his fingers to mark the document. After tapping slightly and thinking for a while, he picked up the phone and called Secretary Xue in, who was guarding the outside. "Xiao Xue, what are the arrangements for tomorrow?" Gao Ke asked. "Governor, according to previous arrangements, tomorrow morning we will inspect the Taihua Aviation Mechanical and Electrical Plant and the Taihua Maintenance and Repair Company, which are state-owned and collective enterprises in Taihua respectively. In the afternoon, we will visit the Taihua Industrial Museum and inspect the Taihua Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Directly affiliated agencies, tonight" Secretary Xue did not take out his notebook, but reported very skillfully. "Okay, tell them to slightly modify the itinerary," Gao Ke ordered. "The morning schedule remains unchanged, and the afternoon itinerary is moved to the end of the schedule." Secretary Xue immediately took out his notebook and recorded it. When he turned to the back, he followed the order. When I saw the upcoming schedule, I saw the word "Pingling" written on the record book. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 70 Arrival The convoy was moving quickly on the road from Taihua to Pingling. This is a very wide and smooth four-lane highway. Speaking of this standard highway that can connect Taihua with the two surrounding counties, it can be regarded as Cui Jianbin¡¯s only achievement after arriving in Taihua, and the only political achievement he can achieve. It¡¯s not that Cui Jianbin didn¡¯t try to dominate the overall situation after arriving in Taihua, it was just because Ren Shuqiang had been deeply rooted in Taihua for many years, and because his arrival blocked Ren Shuqiang¡¯s upward path, the two of them had huge irreconcilable conflicts from the beginning. Internal conflicts distracted the energy, and then Cui Jianbin suffered from illness for many years due to physical reasons, which gave Ren Shuqiang the opportunity to cultivate his cronies and develop his power. This was why Cui Jianbin was completely suppressed by Ren Shuqiang's momentum. However, the arrival of Gao Ke this time made Cui Jianbin and the few cadres on his side seem to see some hope, especially after yesterday's workers' petition incident, although Cui Jianbin also knew that this incident would have little impact on him. Small, and may even have a negative impression on Gao Ke, but after all, the workers went to the city government to petition, which in itself was a severe and almost fatal blow to Ren Shuqiang, not to mention Cui Jianbin also knew that he had already been punished because of the Geng Zhen incident. Being surrounded on all sides, no matter how bad it was, it was just the result of being transferred away from Taihua and taking up a casual position, so Cui Jianbin put down the burden of worrying about gains and losses and became a lot more relaxed. However, remembering that when he visited the Taihua Aviation Mechanical and Electrical Factory and the Taihua Maintenance Company in the morning, Gao Ke did not show any indifference, but when he later talked with the worker representatives, it was obviously just a formality and did not show much interest. Look, both Cui Jianbin and Ren Shuqiang knew that Gao Ke had obviously shown some dissatisfaction with Taihua's work. Think about it and you will know that as the first stop after taking office, and as a city that has become increasingly important in the central government's cross-provincial economic bridge strategy in the mainland, Taihua has experienced successive state-owned enterprise restructuring turmoil, and county An accident in which a leading cadre at the division level was inexplicably involved in a murder case, and even during Gao Ke's inspection, workers gathered to petition. This could not help Gao Ke, who wanted to use Taihua as a benchmark city to launch his political ambitions. Not to mention it was a minor setback. "It seems that Governor Gao's trip to Taihua is not going well this time," Zhang Wenliang, who was sitting in the car and looking at the traveling sedan in front of him, sighed softly. He glanced at the silent Ren Shuqiang next to him out of the corner of his eye. Then he said, "I hope nothing happens again in Pingling, otherwise it will be difficult to explain." "If there is anything difficult to explain, the most I can do is let the workers in Pingling make trouble again. If there are too many lice, don't worry about too many debts." It doesn't matter." Ren Shuqiang suddenly snorted slightly, saying that he had always suspected that Zhang Wenliang was responsible for the workers' petition the day before. After all, for Zhang Wenliang, if he, the mayor, failed, then he would be the most important person. Zhang Wenliang had the chance to take over as mayor. After all, Zhang Wenliang had just proposed it not long ago. Even if he had a backer, he would not be able to take over the position of secretary. Therefore, instead of overthrowing Cui Jianbin, he could wait until he became secretary and then give him the position of mayor. For the throne, it¡¯s better to just attack yourself directly. Because of this idea, even though Ren Shuqiang remained calm, after hearing Zhang Wenliang's words, he, who was always arrogant, couldn't help but mock Zhang Wenliang a little. Hearing what Ren Shuqiang said, Zhang Wenliang glanced at Ren Shuqiang in surprise at first, and then opened his mouth slightly in a daze. Although he cursed in his heart and did not want to surrender to Ren Shuqiang, remembering Ren Shuqiang's usual style, Zhang Wenliang knew that if If you don't make it clear now, you will be in big trouble later. "Mayor, you know that Minister Sui attaches great importance to the transformation of the heavy machinery factory. At this time, I may be the one who hopes for stability the most." Zhang Wenliang deliberately showed a wry smile and saw Ren Shuqiang's unmoved look. , he continued, "I really don't know who wants to muddy the waters." Listening to Zhang Wenliang's doubtful words, Ren Shuqiang said nothing more, but looked out of the car. The dazzling police lights of the police car driving at the front kept flashing. Although the weather was not hot, Taihua City Public Security Chief Lao Xiao, who was sitting in the police car, was sweating constantly on his forehead. Both Cui Jianbin and Ren Shuqiang were furious about what happened in the city hall the day before. Although the city bureau promptly mobilized a large number of police officers to maintain order, and because they were notified in advance, in order to avoid a bigger incident, the city bureau police officers not only did their best They exercised restraint in their efforts and did not adopt overly simple and crude methods as usual. However, in the process of persuading and blocking the petitioning workers, some frictions and conflicts inevitably occurred. This made Cui Jianbin's suppressed anger finally burst out. This allowed Lao Xiao to truly see Cui Jianbin's majesty as the municipal party committee secretary for the first time. At the same time, he suddenly realized that although he had never been close to Ren Shuqiang, Usually, because of my somewhat negative attitude towards Cui Jianbin,Ambiguous, Cui Jianbin may not regard himself as someone from Ren Shuqiang's side. ¡° If something else happens during the trip to Pingling this time, Lao Xiao is already sweating all over his body even though it¡¯s only May. Two police cars on the roadside in the distance and several police officers standing next to the police cars caught Lao Xiao's attention. He motioned to slow down and took a closer look. When he found that standing next to the police officers was the deputy director of the Pingling County Bureau. When Hu was talking, Lao Xiao frowned at first, but then he stretched out his hand and waved hard at Lao Hu and the others, signaling Pingling's car to follow them immediately. Lao Hu, who had been waiting anxiously at the county border for a long time, immediately called his men to get in the car. While using the intercom to tell another police car to speed up and rush to the front of the convoy to clear the way, he urged the driver to drive carefully from the side of the convoy. Overtaking until reaching the front, replacing Lao Xiao as the leading car for the entire convoy. In the early 1990s, the custom of picking up superior leaders and greeting them at the border was not yet popular in official circles. Therefore, although you could see temporarily blocked roads and intersections along the way into the county seat, Gao Ke's motorcade was not Without stopping, they drove smoothly through most of the county and entered the Pingling County Party Committee compound. In the county party committee compound, the Pingling cadres who had been waiting for a long time couldn't help but feel slightly nervous when they looked at the motorcade slowly driving into the yard. This is the first time in the history of Pingling that such a senior cadre has come to inspect. In the past, because Pingling was located in a remote location and had a poor foundation, even the leaders of Taihua rarely came to inspect several times a year. Just like not long ago For Ren Shuqiang, who has been here before, if it were not for the Geng Zhen incident, he had never been to Pingling except for inspections when he first took office. Except for necessary annual festival routines, he had never been to Pingling. This time, there were indeed a lot of people coming down with Gao Ke. In addition to provincial cadres, especially those representatives from the industrial and commercial circles, they occupied two large traveling sedans. The small Pingling County Party Committee compound immediately became crowded, with several vehicles The car even had to park outside the county committee building, which made Municipal Bureau Chief Lao Xiao feel even more nervous when he saw this scene. ¡°After all, not long ago, there was a major case in Pingling in which a wanted gunman shot and killed the county party committee leader. If he hadn¡¯t known that he had no right to speak, Lao Xiao would have even wanted to take the risk and ask Cui Jianbin to ask Gao Ke to cancel the trip to Pingling. When the China Travel sedan that Gao Ke was riding in slowly and steadily stopped not far from the front of the Pingling cadres, with a burst of car doors opening, the doors of the front and rear cars of the China Travel sedan had opened one after another, and the cadres from the province and Taihua followed. They got out of the car one after another, and then slowly and orderly gathered around the CTS sedan. Secretary Xue, who first got off the Zhonglu sedan, looked at the Pingling cadres who were standing a little far away and then ducked to the side. His action was undoubtedly an obvious hint. Under the leadership of Li Peizheng, the Pingling cadres He immediately took a few steps forward and stopped not far from the China Travel Service vehicle. Li Peizheng noticed that among the Taihua cadres who got off other cars, many of them, including Ren Shuqiang, did not see Cui Jianbin. This made his eyes flicker slightly when he looked at the China Travel sedan. When he saw Cui Jianbin following When Gao Ke, who was wearing a black suit, got off the bus, Li Peizheng couldn't help but feel something in his heart. After seeing this, Guo Songlin, who was standing next to him, calmly glanced at Ren Shuqiang, who had already arrived at the CTS car with other cadres. Du Yan stood at the end of the queue of members of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee. He looked seriously at Gao Ke who was shaking hands with Li Peizheng in the distance after Cui Jianbin introduced him. Gao Ke is less than fifty this year. He looks younger than his actual age. Unlike many middle-aged cadres with a big belly, Gao Ke is of medium height and well-proportioned. He wears a black double-breasted suit that is quite popular in this era. He looked very energetic. But the most impressive thing is his eyes that seem extremely focused when talking to people, and seem to be able to see through people at any time. Du Yan noticed that whether it was Guo Songlin, Ding Bingxian or Chu Yilan, Gao Ke didn't show any special expression when shaking hands with them, but towards Li Peizheng, perhaps because he was the county party committee secretary, Gao Ke listened to him introduction, and said a few more words to him from time to time. But when he finally walked up to Du Yan, perhaps because Du Yan, who was too young, stood out among a group of older cadres, Gao Ke looked him up and down, and a smile appeared on his always calm face. ¡°Young man is not old, how old are you?¡± Gao Ke suddenly asked, which made the surrounding provincial and municipal cadres startled. "Report to the governor, twenty-five years old." Du Yan bowed slightly and answered clearly. "Comrade Jianbin, you Taihua cadres have done a good job in rejuvenating the cadres. There are two young leading cadres in one county committee, which is the same in the whole of Hexi."??It's rare. "Hearing Du Yan's answer, Gao Ke turned around and said with a smile to Cui Jianbin who was accompanying him. Hearing what Gao Ke said, Cui Jianbin immediately responded with a smile: "Now it is not proposed everywhere to focus on economic development. Direction, Governor, you know that our Taihua is an old industrial city, and the training of young cadres has only just begun in the past few years, and many places have not done enough. "It should be taken seriously," Gao Ke turned around and said to Cui Jianbin, "The rejuvenation of cadres is a major issue for our party's cadre construction that the old leader proposed a few years ago. In order to implement the construction policy, the old leader himself took the lead in implementing it. In this regard, we have indeed We should pay more attention to it. As long as we master it well, it¡¯s not a big deal to give young people more opportunities to rush forward. " "Yes, the governor's instructions are the guiding direction for our future cadre development. " Cui Jianbin immediately nodded in response. While answering, he couldn't help but glance at Du Yan with a slight thought in his mind. Could it be that Gao Ke had already heard about Du Yan? Otherwise, why didn't he express it when he saw Chu Yilan before? Showing too much curiosity? Because of Gao Ke¡¯s few words, when he shook hands with other provincial and municipal leaders, Du Yan clearly felt that the cadres looked at him slightly differently, and some cadres even said casually. A few words of seemingly irrelevant praise made Du Yan couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart while he was dealing with it. If he didn't know Chu Yilan's origin, Gao Ke's attitude clearly seemed to favor him, no matter what happened in the future. , at least now it is enough to make Du Yan feel proud. But after knowing clearly that Chu Yilan is Chu Ping's daughter, Du Yan knows very well that in just a few words, he has become Gao Kewei. Chu Yilan will openly build a plank road in the future to secretly assassinate Chen Cang. The purpose of Chu Ping's surprise transfer of his daughter before Gao Ke's inspection is obviously to allow Chu Yilan to catch up with the last performance car that Gao Ke inspects, no matter what the future holds. , As long as Gao Ke is determined to use Pingling as a model for development, then Chu Yilan will definitely make a big political achievement. And Gao Ke said in front of so many provincial and municipal leaders that he should increase his efforts. The speech on cultivating young cadres seems to be made after seeing him, but in fact it is just to pave the way for Chu Yilan's future development. Chu Yilan is Chu Ping's daughter, and supporting Chu Yilan means. It is a reward for Chu Ping, and Chu Yilan¡¯s brother Chu Yijun is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the secretary of the Organization Minister Liang Benchu. Judging from the relationship between Liang Benchu ??and the Song family, Gao Ke not only befriends Liang Benchu, but also I just felt sorry for myself, but I became a shield for Gao Ke as soon as he got off the bus. He looked at the provincial and municipal leaders with different expressions when shaking hands with him, and felt that the Pingling cadres next to him were slightly strange. With the look in his eyes, Du Yan could also imagine that he would soon become a target in the eyes of others. "Is it so easy for me to be used as a shield?" Du Yan thought to himself. Just as he was thinking this, a delicate Seeing Qiao Luowei, who seemed to be so cold and distant, with a slightly cool hand, Du Yan couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Qiao, we have met. . "Du Yan and Qiao Luowei's hands were slightly clasped together. Although Zhao Xiaoyun had said before that Qiao Luowei would come down with Gao Ke's industrial and commercial inspection team, when he finally saw Qiao Luowei in person, Du Yan seemed to still There was an indescribable feeling of surprise and surprise: ¡°Director Du, long time no see. "Although Qiao Luowei's face was still cold, her tone was slightly gentle. It was only when she noticed that the people in front of and behind her couldn't help but look towards them, that Qiao Luowei realized that Du Yan was holding her hand. "Director Du," feeling the looks of people around her, Qiao Luowei suddenly made a decision in her heart. She leaned forward slightly, with a smile on her face under the attention of people around her. The smile was obviously familiar to each other, but he whispered in a voice that only two people could hear, "Let go, or I will tell Xiaoyun later that you took advantage of me." " The expression on Du Yan's face suddenly froze. Looking at Qiao Luowei's rare expression that seemed naughty but slightly angry, Du Yan finally let go of Qiao Luowei's hand with some reluctance. And all this, in the eyes of the inspection team and some provincial cadres who came with Qiao Luowei, made many people think more deeply about this young cadre who had already attracted extra attention because of Gao Ke's few words. Be careful. Just as Qiao Luowei guessed, from the moment Gao Ke asked Secretary Xue to meet her at his resting place, Qiao Luowei became the whole inspection team and even the provincial cadres who followed Gao Ke on the inspection. Although it is inevitable that some people will think of something less serious, most people guess that Qiao Luowei's background is definitely unusual.When it comes to cadres like Gao Ke, who is at the level of a frontier official, they often speak and act in a more open and closed manner. This is not only due to their personality, but also related to their position and vision. So because of this, people know that if the seemingly low-key Mr. Qiao is valued by Gao Ke, then the reason is probably that there is enough power behind her to attract Gao Ke's attention, and it is not difficult to find out as long as you really pay attention. The reason why Huayang Group was able to quickly establish a foothold in Hexi and even in the inland provinces cannot be explained without a background huge enough to attract the attention of Gao Ke, the head of the province. . Therefore, after Qiao Luowei returned to the inspection group, many people in the inspection group had already quietly inquired about the origins of this mysterious rich woman, while using various reasons and opportunities to get close to Qiao Luowei. And now, when they saw that not only Gao Ke but also Qiao Luowei seemed to be chatting and laughing with this inconspicuous little cadre from Pingling, and seemed to be quite familiar with them, those people who were not very concerned about letting go of these bumpkins from remote counties. The businessmen who were watching couldn't help but become interested in this young man. Not only those businessmen, but even some other leaders couldn't help but secretly wonder in their hearts when they looked at Du Yan, what the origin of this young and somewhat excessive new district director was. However, this scene had a different flavor in the eyes of Chu Yilan, who was standing not far away. "This little hooligan is so cowardly and hard-core!" Chu Yilan couldn't help but cursed secretly when she remembered that she had experienced this kind of thing before. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 71 Seizing the Opportunity to Seize Power Everyone was looking forward to Gao Ke's inspection, but they were extremely nervous! As early as a week ago, the whole Pingling was already in a state of turmoil. At best, it was called a completely new look, but at worst, it was a riot. For a time, everyone from the deputy county magistrate in charge of sanitation to the street aunt wearing a red band in the neighborhood committee had almost scanned the entire Pingling County with their piercing eyes. Because of the Zhao Aiguo incident that happened not long ago, the county bureau was in a state of panic. Not only did all police officers cancel their public holidays, but all Xieqin and social security officers also went into battle, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Gao Ke modified his itinerary and suddenly decided to inspect Pingling on the afternoon of the second day after arriving in Taihua. This not only made the cadres of Taihua, but also the cadres of Pingling excited despite the surprise! It can be said that Governor Gao attaches great importance to Pingling. Although there were rumors before that Gao Ke seemed to intend to use Taihua as a pilot to demonstrate his policy policy after he became governor. But now, Governor Gao¡¯s It's just a matter of not taking action, and once it's taken action, it's easy to catch the big ones. The pilot of this pilot is undoubtedly chosen in Pingling County, which has already attracted the attention of all parties! This makes Pingling's cadres seem to see hope. After all, areas that can be regarded as benchmarks by the provincial governor will definitely be easy to achieve political achievements, and political achievements are the ladder of upward progress, especially as more and more reports from the top come from the top recently. With the voice of strengthening economic construction, political achievement, a word that was previously inconspicuous, has now become something that cadres worry about all day long. And what better way to achieve political achievements than by working in a place that is set as a benchmark by the governor? Because of this, some thoughtful people finally understood why Chu Yilan was suddenly transferred to Pingling earlier than expected. Obviously, no matter how long he has actually worked in Pingling, as long as he came down before Gao Ke's inspection, he was the current cadre of Pingling. He only waited for Governor Gao to praise Pingling's work, as a sign of responsibility. He is one of the cadres who have made contributions to Pingling. This is not only a solid political achievement, but also a strong proof that as long as there is an opportunity in the future, he will be promoted exceptionally. Isn¡¯t it a bit too obvious to pick the peach? After thinking about this section, many people looked at Chu Yilan a little strangely. After all, not only does this eating scene make people look at her, but being able to pick peaches like this shows how strong the backer behind Chu Yilan is. Although she could clearly feel the eyes of others looking at her, Chu Yilan didn't care much despite her displeasure. She knew that others must have such and such views on her, and some might even think dirty things about her, but that didn't matter. Method. Chu Ping arranged her to Pingling, of course, just to catch up with this group of political achievements, but if he thought it was just to let his daughter get some political capital so that she could be promoted to the bottom in the future, it would be too simplistic. Chu Yilan knows that her current status is very subtle. She remembers Chu Ping's instructions to her clearly before taking office. In a sense, if Gao Ke is the successor of Chu Ping's political ambition, then Chu Yilan and Chu Yilan Her brother Chu Yijun is undoubtedly the contact between Chu Ping and the Song family. Although he has reached the National People's Congress, Chu Ping clearly wants to continue to occupy a corner in this political game by placing his two sons and daughters in places that are inextricably linked to the Song family. Du Yan followed the crowd to Xiaozhao. He was not qualified to move forward on such an occasion. From a distance, he saw Cui Jianbin, Ren Shuqiang, Zhang Wenliang and two provincial cadres who came down with Gao Ke to accompany him. Walk towards Xiao Zhao's foyer. He and a group of other cadres stood under the shade of the tree. Gao Ke paused when he walked to the entrance of the hall, and then whispered to Cui Jianbin who was following him. "Comrade Peizheng, ask Songlin County Magistrate and Secretary Bingxian to come over too," Cui Jianbin turned around and whispered to Li Peizheng who was following behind. When he looked at Li Peizheng, there was a glint in his eyes. Although Gao Ke also nodded when he said this The names of Guo Songlin and Ding Bingxian were mentioned, but for Cui Jianbin, this was still a strong signal, which showed that Gao Ke valued Pingling more than he thought. Because he is the secretary of the county party committee, Li Peizheng must of course act as the master and accompany Gao Ke. Although Guo Songlin, as the county magistrate, whether he can be valued by Gao Ke depends on Gao Ke's mood. Now Gao Ke not only named Guo Songlin, but even Ding Bingxian, as the deputy secretary, came over to say a few words. What Gao Ke thinks about Pingling is really worth noting. Seeing Guo Songlin and Ding Bing follow them first, many cadres behind them couldn't help but look envious. After all, not to mention the county, even some of the city leaders who came with Taihua didn't have the opportunity to accompany Governor Gao to the small recruitment. , Everyone knows that even if you can show your face in front of Governor Gao, let alone being able to strike up a conversation, that would be a big deal.   Seeing Guo Songlin, Cui Jianbin felt slightly unhappy. Although Guo Songlin had always behaved well in front of him, he was Ren Shuqiang's man after all, which made Cui Jianbin dislike Guo Songlin from the bottom of his heart. As for Gao Ke naming Ding Bingxian, this is what makes Guo Songlin feel a little strange. Although he has also heard the rumors that Ding Bingxian supported Chu Yilan at the reception banquet on the day Chu Yilan arrived, but in Cui Jianbin's mind In the past, he had never taken Ding Bingxian seriously. As for how Chu Yilan and Ding Bingxian met, he didn't want to ask too much. After all, in Cui Jianbin's view, Chu Yilan went to Pingling this time just to gain political achievements. Although it can be seen that Chu Yilan's father Chu Ping still has a lot of energy even though he has gone to the National People's Congress, Cui Jianbin does not think that What's the big deal, because both he and others have already decided that for a young cadre with a background like Chu Yilan, a place like Pingling is destined to be just a springboard in her political career. But first he had a familiar relationship with Chu Yilan, and then Gao Ke personally called his name, which made Cui Jianbin pay attention to Ding Bingxian. Then he saw Ren Shuqiang looking at Ding Bingxian slightly strangely after hearing Gao Ke's name. With a similar expression, Cui Jianbin immediately realized that although he had ignored Ding Bingxian before, Ren Shuqiang had obviously not paid attention to this person before. "Secretary Gao, Songlin County Magistrate is a native of Pingling, and he has followed the development of Pingling step by step. As for Comrade Bingxian, he used to work in the Provincial Construction Committee, and later he was responsible for propaganda work in Pingling for a period of time. It can be said that he is a practical cadre with theory and practice." Cui Jianbin introduced to Gao Ke, and his words could be said to be impartial, at least to the ears of others, he did not mean to be too biased. "The cadres in Pingling are pretty good," Gao Ke nodded slightly, then pointed slightly towards the hall, "Come on, everyone, come in and have a casual chat." Watching Gao Ke and his group disappear into Xiao Zhao's shop under the guidance of the waiter at the door At the door, Tu Xiangdong, who was standing at the door, finally took a breath secretly. He knew that at least he no longer had to worry about it in the next moment. After whispering to the waiters standing beside him what he should pay attention to, Tu Xiangdong passed through the cadres standing at the door and came to Du Yan, who was resting under a tree with his eyes closed. "Suffer it." Tu Xiangdong took out a cigarette and put it under his nose, smelled it, and then put it away again. Seeing his action, Du Yan couldn't help but remember that people in the county party committee office had always said that Tu Xiangdong was very addicted to smoking, but he had never I never smelled smoke on him. "How many people are jealous that Director Tu can have close contact with leaders," Du Yan smiled at Tu Xiangdong. "Your brother is also kidding me," Tu Xiangdong glared at Du Yan, then lowered his voice slightly and said, "Speaking of which, your brother is the one who makes so many people envious. Even Governor Gao is a young cadre with a name, which is amazing. "Ah." "Forget it, Lao Tu, you are doing harm to others," Du Yan smiled bitterly, "If you envy the job of being tied up and blocking arrows, why don't we switch?" Hearing what Du Yan said, Tu Xiangdong just smiled softly. He looked at Chu Yilan who was standing not far away and was talking to several Taihua cadres. He couldn't help but shook his head slightly with emotion: "Don't fight with your life for anything. Look at this person." , less than half a month after I came down, I have gained a reputation and gained political achievements, and I have arrested another young lesbian. The future is really bright. Maybe we won¡¯t meet again in two years, and we will have to behave and call them leaders. " Listen. Du Yan also looked at Chu Yilan at Tu Xiangdong's slightly sour words. However, because he knew Chu Yilan's background, Du Yan thought that Tu Xiangdong's words were not necessarily that simple. Du Yan did not think that Chu Yilan came to Pingling purely to gain political achievements. As for using Pingling as a springboard for promotion, although this seemed reasonable, Du Yan always felt that there was something wrong with it. So right. Seeing staff from the county party committee trotting over from the direction of the county guest house, Tu Xiangdong immediately cheered up and walked over. The people from the industrial and commercial inspection team had been arranged to the county guest house early. Although these people were just businessmen, no one could guarantee that. One of them might become Pingling's God of Wealth, so Tu Xiangdong didn't dare to be careless in entertaining them. Although the weather in May is not very hot, it is not so comfortable to stand in the open space for a long time. Just because we don¡¯t know how long Gao Ke will rest in Xiaozhao, no one dares to leave easily at this time, so people I can only stand outside and wait patiently. After Chu Yilan said a few words to a few cadres she had met in Taihua earlier, she slowly walked up to Du Yan. Looking at the beads of sweat on Chu Yilan's fair neck exposed outside the collar of her lapel shirt, Du Yan smiled slightly. If anyone else was standing outside in this hot day, waitingIt's still hard work, so Chu Yilan's waiting is not only worth the money, it can even be said to be a deserved effort. Anyone with a discerning eye who knows a little bit about the causes and consequences can see that Gao Ke's previous words sounded like he was referring to Du Yan, but in fact, what he was really talking about was Chu Yilan, a typical "airborne soldier." So when Chu Yilan walked up to Du Yan, many people glanced at them involuntarily. "County Magistrate Chu is now in high spirits during happy events." Hearing Du Yan's obviously teasing words, a hint of anger flashed across Chu Yilan's face. She didn't expect that Du Yan would not save face for her. "Director Du, isn't he also very proud of himself?" Although Chu Yilan was unhappy, she still tried to calm down her emotions. "Governor Gao showed Director Du's youthfulness and promise in front of so many people. It is estimated that Director Du will get it soon." "Forget it, I hope to be able to do something down-to-earth in Pingling," Du Yan said with a serious look on his face. He looked at Chu Yilan seriously, "I am Pingling." Man, what I want to see is that Pingling can really develop. At least when people mention me in the future, I will be satisfied if they can say that I, Du Yan, can benefit the whole country during my tenure as the director. " "Oh? Serving as an official will bring benefits to one party. This is easier said than done. It seems that Director Du has a big heart." Chu Yilan and Du Yan looked at each other, and seeing Du Yan's face made her feel a little strange. With such a serious look on his face, Chu Yilan felt a little confused, wondering how much of his words were true. Li Peizheng and the others did not stay in Xiaozhao for too long before they walked out. Although their faces seemed calm, the cadres who were good at observing words and expressions still vaguely discovered from their expressions that in the past ten minutes, something seemed to have happened. Something happened. As soon as he walked out of Xiaozhao, Li Peizheng frowned dissatisfiedly when he saw that Tu Xiangdong was not nearby. Then he asked the waiter guarding the door where Tu Xiangdong was. When he heard that Tu Xiangdong had gone to the county guest house, Li Peizheng turned around and said Guo Songlin whispered for a moment, then waved to the Pingling cadres who came over and walked aside. "Governor Gao has arranged the inspection work for the afternoon," Li Peizheng whispered to the people gathered in front of him. He frowned at this time, and Guo Songlin, who was standing next to him, looked no better. "He We need to go directly to the heavy machinery factory to take a look. "Ah, isn't that the place where we want to break the sky?" After hearing what Li Peizheng said, Lao Liao couldn't help but murmured. Hearing his words, several people couldn't help but laugh at the same time. Looking towards Li Peizheng. "This is where Governor Gao directly called his name." Li Peizheng's voice was low. His eyes briefly glanced and then fell on Du Yan's face. "Xiao Du, tell me the truth now. Will there be any problems at the heavy machine factory?" "What's going on?" Following Li Peizheng's question, several people's eyes immediately focused on Du Yan. Even the Organization Minister Lao Liao and the Propaganda Minister Lao Xu, who had always had trouble with Du Yan, couldn't help but look hopeful. It seemed that Du Yan was One sentence can decide their fate! "Secretary Li, I can only guarantee that what Governor Gao sees will be the true situation of the heavy machinery factory." "Isn't that fatal?" Lao Liao shouted angrily, and saw Guo Songlin staring at him. , although he paused, he continued, "Workers from several factories in the city surrounded the city hall yesterday. If this happens when Governor Gao inspects the heavy machinery factory, we will all be doomed." " "Secretary Li, should we immediately ask the police from the county bureau to go to the heavy machinery factory to control the inspection site? At least temporarily isolate some workers who are usually restless?" Huang Zhiguo, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission who rarely speaks, suddenly said, and at the same time he Look towards Ding Bingxian. "No, very bad things may happen to control the workers at this time." Li Peizheng rejected Huang Zhiguo's suggestion. At the same time, he glanced at Du Yan, "Xiao Du, go to the heavy machinery factory now and take charge. Remember, no matter what, To maintain normal order in the factory, you are very familiar with the heavy machinery factory. You must let the employees understand that if something happens at this time, it will not be of any benefit to the county or the heavy machinery factory. " Looking at Li Peizheng. With stern eyes, Du Yan hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Secretary Li, I understand, but I want to ask the county bureau police officers who go to the heavy machinery factory to maintain order to cooperate with my work." "Don't worry about this," Li Peizheng said to the standing officer Liu Laofei, who was always silent at the back, gestured, "Director Liu, please make arrangements and tell the police officers on duty at the heavy machinery factory to completely obey Director Du's arrangements." Liu Laofei nodded silently, picked up the walkie-talkie and walked aside. . "Secretary Li, let Deputy Director Hu go there with me. There are county bureau leaders there to facilitate unified command," Du Yan said. The corner of Guo Songlin¡¯s mouthHe moved a bit, but in the end he didn't say anything. In the Zhao Aiguo incident, Guo, the elder of the New District Police Station, was involved. This made Liu Laofei, who was at a critical moment in his rise, very passive. As we all know, Lao Guo was Li Laofei's subordinate, and Liu Laofei was about to be promoted to the county. The secretary of the Political and Legal Committee encountered this kind of thing at a critical moment, which cast a shadow on Liu Laofei's future. Liu Laofei has already entered the fifth grade this year and has been a department director for a long time. If he cannot become a deputy director at this age, then the only thing waiting for him is retirement. . Now when he heard that Du Yan asked Lao Hu, the deputy director of the county bureau, to go with him to the heavy machinery factory to maintain order, although Guo Songlin was dissatisfied, he also knew that this was not the time to argue about these things, and Liu Laofei, as a The county bureau chief really couldn¡¯t leave. Li Peizheng immediately nodded in agreement to Du Yan's request. For Li Peizheng now, ensuring that nothing happens to the heavy machine factory is the top priority. Although he knew that Du Yan's intention was to take the opportunity to help Lao Hu at the County Public Security Bureau. Li Peizheng was dissatisfied when he saw someone in the county bureau take the initiative to let Liu Laofei stand up. There was a fire in the backyard, and Li Peizheng was happy to see it happen. It¡¯s just that Du Yan actually used this incident to naturally gain greater power for Lao Hu in the county bureau. Li Peizheng had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart. After contacting Lao Hu, who was commanding not far from the county party committee, through the intercom, Du Yan got into his old jeep and drove out of the county party committee compound. But when the car just drove onto the road, a clear horn sounded on the roadside caught Du Yan's attention. He raised his head and looked around, and happened to see Qiao Luowei standing next to a black car looking towards him. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 72: Burning down the bridge when crossing the river? Du Yan was slightly surprised to see Qiao Luowei. Du Yan had already seen from the first meeting that both the provincial cadres and the people from the inspection team seemed to pay great attention to Qiao Luowei, but thinking about it, he knew that someone as young, beautiful and temperamental as Qiao Luowei The beautiful rich woman was originally the focus of attention, but he didn't know that the main reason why Qiao Luowei attracted attention was because of Gao Ke's deliberate pretentiousness before. "Mr. Qiao, what's wrong with you?" Du Yan poked his head out of the car and asked Qiao Luowei. He knew that with Qiao Luowei's character, he wouldn't greet people so casually unless there was something wrong. "Are you going to Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory?" Qiao Luowei asked with an indifferent expression. If you were not familiar with her character, you would think that she was deliberately distant, but what she said next was completely different from her expression. "I'll go with you. It's more convenient to take my car." Qiao Luowei's words made Du Yan stunned for a moment and then nodded. By this time, he had already guessed that Qiao Luowei and Gao Ke had not only officially met, they might also have met each other. Some kind of agreement has been reached, otherwise even if Gao Ke had heard about the recent events in Pingling, he would not have proposed inspecting the heavy machinery factory as soon as he came up. Recall that Zhao Xiaoyun had said before that he had sold Gao Ke a big deal. Du Yan was already sure that Gao Ke would come prepared this time. After telling the driver to tell Lao Hu to catch up, Du Yan got into Qiao Luowei's car. He knew that Qiao Luowei obviously had something to say to him. Seeing the eyes that turned sideways and looked at the expression on his face after sitting next to him, Qiao Luowei frowned slightly at first, and then took out a copy of the same meal he had given to Gao Ke in Taihua from the leather bag next to him. A copy of the document was handed to Du Yan. "This is the second asset appraisal report we have entrusted Yunpeng Finance to make for Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory. However, only a few people have read this report. To submit it as a real appraisal result, you still need to "It should be the approval of the review team," Du Yan corrected softly. He quickly flipped through the report. When he saw the final asset assessment figures, the corner of Du Yan's mouth curled up slightly. She showed a slightly interesting smile, "Mr. Qiao, you really helped me a lot." "I just did my part according to our agreement," Qiao Luowei looked cold, but then her voice softened slightly as she looked at Du Yan's eyes also became softer. "Governor Gao came here for an inspection this time. He attaches great importance to the current situation and future of the heavy machinery factory. I hope you can be more careful about this matter. Governor Gao " At this point, Qiao Luowei stopped and tilted her head slightly to look at Du Yan carefully. Seeing Du Yan looking at her with puzzled eyes, Qiao Luowei turned her head to one side and looked at the hurried street scene outside. " Anyway, you just have to pay attention." Looking at Qiao Luowei's side profile, which was like a marble sculpture with a cold luster, Du Yan nodded silently as he recalled the vague meaning of her words. It wasn¡¯t far from the county party committee compound to the heavy machine factory, and after receiving the notice, the road leading to the heavy machine factory had been closed, so it didn¡¯t take long for Du Yan and the others to arrive at the heavy machine factory. From a distance, Du Yan saw the deputy director of the county bureau, Lao Hu, standing by the bridge leading to the gate of the heavy machine factory. When he saw Qiao Luowei's car, he had already heard from Du Yan's driver. When Lao Hu heard the news, he immediately stepped forward to greet him. Before the Zhao Aiguo incident, although Lao Hu had always been thinking about the chair of county bureau director, Lao Hu became more honest after several overt and covert contests with Mr. Liu. Although he was only a minor in his forties, when he thought that Liu Laofei was supported by Guo Songlin, Lao Hu lost all hope. But who would have thought that the Zhao Aiguo incident not only caused Lao Hu to fall in love with Du Yan, but also the subsequent rumors that were vaguely unfavorable to Liu Laofei due to the incident involving the elder Guo from the New District Police Station, which made Lao Hu see that he could no longer Hope that I dare not think about. Especially this time, the county specially arranged for him instead of Liu Laofei to clear the way for the convoy inspected by Gao Ke. This made Lao Hu so happy that he could not sleep well all night. Now he heard that he was asked to assist Du Yan in maintaining the heavy machinery factory. In order to meet Gao Ke's inspection, Lao Hu was already so happy that he felt overwhelmed. "Director Du, you are here," Old Hu came up to meet him from afar. When he saw Qiao Luowei getting off the car with Du Yan, he was just stunned. At this time, all he could think about was how he could inspect Gao Ke. There will be no problem at any time. "Director Du, please see what arrangements are made next. I will give the order immediately." "Director Hu, you are an expert in public security and security, so I won't interfere. Time is very tight. Governor Gao will be here soon. You should hurry up and make arrangements. " Du Yan knew that this was not the time to take power and command blindly. Li Peizheng asked him to take a front position at the heavy machinery factory. This was of course because he was familiar with the current situation of the heavy machinery factory, but there was more. The reason is because Li Peizheng also knows that no one is willing to accept it at this time.It was a hot potato, so I simply put the problem on my former secretary with a low face. Looking towards the gate of the Heavy Machinery Factory, and then looking back towards the county party committee, Du Yan thought to himself: "Let today's test pass, and I will repay Secretary Li for his promotion." According to the previous itinerary The arrangement is to inspect the Heavy Machinery Factory as the last stop of our trip to Taihua. This is because although the Heavy Machinery Factory is the representative of Pingling Industry, it is already in a difficult situation due to its poor situation, not to mention what happened not long ago. The dispute over factory assets has made the heavy machinery factory a typical example at the forefront. So although there is no way to stop Gao Ke from inspecting the heavy machinery factory, whether it is Taihua or Pingling, they still hope that Gao Ke can finally squeeze the fatal pustule after seeing some progress and development in other places. But Gao Ke's sudden change of schedule really caught many people's expectations, especially the factory leaders who were waiting hard in the factory. Although they had been fighting hard for several days in advance to organize the workers to carry out sanitation activities, which almost turned the factory yard upside down. After a lot of fussing, after receiving the news that Gao Ke would inspect the heavy machine factory as soon as he arrived in Pingling in the afternoon, looking at the workers who were still gathered in the factory, the secretaries and factory directors sweated immediately. down. So when they heard that Du Yan had arrived, several secretaries and factory directors immediately came out of the office, ran all the way down the stairs and blocked Du Yan in front of the factory office building. "Director Du, you are here!" Lao Qiu, the secretary of the Heavy Machinery Factory, walked up as if seeing a relative, stretched out a pair of fat hands, grabbed Du Yan's right hand and shook it, "We just received the call. The county party committee called and said that Governor Gao would be coming soon. Wasn't it originally planned that Governor Gao would come to our heavy machinery factory tomorrow afternoon? Director Du, we are not ready yet. We should stay to welcome Governor Gao. The boss's workers haven't arrived yet, and the other workers haven't been sent home yet. "Why are we sending the workers home?" Du Yan looked at Lao Qiu and frowned slightly, saying that he didn't have a good impression of this Lao Qiu. , in his memory, it was not a hopeless heavy machinery factory in the first place. Later, due to successive years of losses, it finally had to settle its accounts in a staggering way. It almost seemed to be given away for nothing and became a money tree in some people's pockets. As the secretary, Lao Qiu and a group of factory directors and deputy directors also became shareholders of the heavy machinery factory and made a fortune. Among them, Lao Qiu did not harmonize. "Secretary Qiu, the current situation of the Heavy Machinery Factory is whatever it is. Besides, it was only because of problems that the superiors paid attention to the Heavy Machinery Factory. If we cover up the problem ourselves, it seems that we have passed the test now. If something goes wrong later, how should we explain it to the superiors?" Du Yan said as he and Lao Qiu walked into the factory office building. Du Yan's words made Lao Qiu, who had originally seen his excited face, slowly darken. He glanced at the factory director next to him who also had an uncertain expression. He turned back to Du Yan and said, "Director Du, it stands to reason that we should restart the machine." If something goes wrong at the factory, it should be under the city's control. After all, the Heavy Machinery Factory is a municipal enterprise. But because most of the workers in the factory are locals in Pingling, it would be hard for the county to explain it if something went wrong, right? " At that time, the Heavy Machinery Factory was a municipal enterprise, so although many problems occurred, Pingling County could not interfere in the factory's affairs casually except for finding ways to appease the workers. Even later, sometimes things became serious. If you don't know, just raise a problem and push it to the city. Although this method would arouse greater resentment from the city, under the circumstances at that time, in Du Yan's memory, both Li Peizheng and Guo Songlin, who took over as secretary of the county party committee, often used this method to do things that were not in their positions and did not plan. His political methods are perfunctory and perfunctory. But this is no longer the case. At least with Du Yan's participation, not only the heavy machinery factory, but also an audit team related to the fate of other state-owned enterprises in Pingling has emerged. "Secretary Qiu, I think you forgot that the evaluation team is still in Pingling," Du Yan reminded. Seeing Lao Qiu's face darken again, Du Yan ordered Hu Weiping who was following him, "Notify all heavy machinery The worker representatives who participated in the audit team from the factory came to the factory office building to prepare to welcome Governor Gao. "The expression on Lao Qiu's face immediately changed. He knew who those worker representatives were better than anyone else. Let him. What makes me angry is that in order to calm down the workers¡¯ emotions after the asset appraisal controversy, those who were selected to participate in the review team were originally thought to be workers¡¯ representatives in name only. However, during this period, there were many situations and frequent problems. It gave Lao Qiu and all the executives in the factory a headache. Now that Du Yan said that the workers' representatives should attend to welcome Gao Ke, Lao Qiu couldn't help but feel angry. But just when he was about to object, he saw two cars driving into the factory yard from a distance. "Come so fast?!" The surprised Lao Qiu couldn't help but look at Du Yan.   Du Yan looked at it carefully with some surprise, and immediately recognized that it was the car supplied by the restructuring review team. Zhu Qinghao, deputy director of the Provincial Department of Industry, is the head of the restructuring review team of the heavy machine factory. Although he is only in name, because of Gao Ke's arrival, Zhu Qinghao rushed to Pingling the day before to sit in charge of the review team. After all, no one can Guarantee whether Gao Ke will suddenly go to the review team on a whim to have a look. But after receiving the news that Gao Ke was going to inspect the heavy machinery factory as soon as he got off the car, Zhu Qinghao immediately realized that Gao Ke obviously paid more attention to the heavy machinery factory this time than he thought. Because of this, he rushed over immediately. "Xiao Du, you have already come here first." Seeing Du Yan, Zhu Qinghao nodded casually. He was not too impressed by this young man who succeeded Geng Zhen, Zhu Qinghao, although he had heard of him and seemed to have written a few articles. After that, he got the attention of some superior leaders and was promoted to the standing committee of the county party committee at a young age. However, because such young cadres were not uncommon in provincial agencies, Zhu Qinghao didn't care very much. Seeing Zhu Qinghao, Lao Qiu's gloomy and uncertain expression changed again and immediately put on a smile. He quickly walked over and shook hands with Zhu Qinghao. At the same time, he looked at the members of the review team who came with Zhu Qinghao, feeling in his heart I couldn't help but wonder what Zhu Qinghao's plan was when he came here. Gao Ke's early visit did make people a little confused. Although the factory yard had been cleaned two days ago, and banners welcoming the leaders had been hung, a deputy director was still troubled by the temporary arrangement of flowers. The pot didn't look pleasing to the eye, so he sent someone to rearrange it. At the same time, the new tea sets that were originally planned to be taken out before the leader arrived were also hurriedly placed in the conference room covered with white tablecloths. However, looking at this panic, Among all the messy things, what made Lao Qiu most worried were the workers who could not be temporarily organized to avoid the work because they were not notified in advance. Seeing Lao Qiu whispering to a deputy factory director to tell the workshop directors and section leaders of each workshop to take care of their workers, Du Yan just pretended not to see it. For him, Gao Ke came down to inspect the important work first. The machine factory itself is already a huge victory that no one else can understand. As for the next step, the real bombshell in his hand has not yet been thrown! Perhaps because of being too nervous, many people noticed Qiao Luowei who came by car with Du Yan before, but because Du Yan did not introduce her, no one went to say hello to her, so Qiao Luowei was alone in the factory yard. Li walked slowly and watched. Except for the driver who followed her silently, people soon forgot the existence of such a beautiful young woman. At almost 3:30, there was first the sound of loudspeakers on the road from far to near, and soon a group of cars came speeding along the riverside road beside Xiaoqing River. Under the early summer afternoon sunshine, Down below, the reflections from the car windows that keep flashing by can be clearly seen even on the other side of the Xiaoqing River. When the convoy just drove onto the cement bridge leading to the gate of the Heavy Machinery Factory, the crowd who had already been waiting in line by the bridge, led by someone unknown, immediately burst into warm applause! At the same time, banners with eye-catching words such as "Warmly welcome the provincial leaders to visit and inspect" and larger "All workers of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory warmly welcome Governor Gao Ke to guide the work" were swaying above the heads of the crowd. Especially with a few dull and rhythmic drumbeats, several broad-shouldered workers waved drumsticks wrapped in red silk, stretched out in front of the scarlet-painted drum, and hammered hard! For a time, there was cheering in front of the heavy machinery factory, it was so lively! Although Zhu Qinghao was at least half a rank higher than the deputy director of the provincial department, because Lao Qiu was the director of the heavy machinery factory, Zhu Qinghao and Lao Qiu stood side by side in front. When they saw the car just stopped, Lao Qiu immediately walked over to greet it. When he went up, a look of disdain flashed across Zhu Qinghao's usually expressionless face. "Hello, Governor Gao, on behalf of all the workers of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory, I warmly welcome you to come to our heavy machine factory to inspect and guide our work." Gao Ke, who got off the CTS sedan, looked at Lao Qiu standing in front of the car, and turned slightly to Cui Jianbin who was accompanying him showed a questioning look. When Cui Jianbin introduced that Lao Qiu was the Party Secretary of the Heavy Machinery Factory, Gao Ke nodded slightly noncommittally, and then shook his hand slightly with Lao Qiu, who had already extended his hands. Got it. Then Gao Kexiang looked behind Lao Qiu and saw Zhu Qinghao. Gao Ke thought for a moment and smiled: "Comrade Lao Zhu from the Provincial Department of Industry, right? You are also here." Zhu Qinghao immediately stretched out his hands to greet him. He went up to shake hands with Gao Ke. Although he was a little flattered that Gao Ke could quickly remember that he was the deputy director of the Provincial Department of Industry, when he thought about his current position and Gao Ke's heavy machinery factory, he was obviously well prepared. Intention, the pride that had just risen in Zhu Qinghao's heart immediately disappeared, and at the same time, he couldn't help but begin to secretlyPlay the drums. Du Yan originally stood behind the cadres of the heavy machinery factory. Although it was natural for the provincial governor to inspect a county party committee leader who came to take care of things in advance, this kind of thing should not be publicized after all, so Du Yan stood far away. Far away, but at some point, Qiao Luowei also walked through the crowd and stood next to him. Seeing Gao Ke and a group of provincial leaders slowly walking into the factory yard surrounded by the crowd, Du Yan shook his head slightly, feeling a little tired. The tension in the past few days made him feel nervous. It felt like it was about to break, but the string had to be stretched if Gao Ke didn't come for a day. This reminded him of the helpless expression on the face of the elder Hou of the municipal party committee guest house. The figure in front of him flashed, and he didn't know when Guo Songlin appeared in front of Du Yan. Even as the county magistrate, Guo Songlin could only follow behind. At this time, seeing Du Yan's face looking tired, Guo Songlin looked at Looking at the slowly moving crowd in front of him, he gave Du Yan a slightly meaningful smile. "Xiao Du, I see you are a little tired. Do you want to take a rest first?" After hearing what Guo Songlin said, Hu Weiping, who was standing behind Du Yan, couldn't help but slightly raised his head and glanced at Guo Songlin. "Xiao Du, sometimes it's not good to be too impatient," Guo Songlin said casually as he passed by Du Yan, "The more work you do, the more trouble you will have. It will be you who will plug the leak. " After saying that, Guo Songlin walked past Du Yan with a smile. "Director" Hearing Guo Songlin's obvious hint, Hu Weiping, who had always been the one who never spoke proactively without asking Du Yan's questions, whispered, but the next words were stopped by Du Yan's raised hand. "I'm a little tired, let's take a rest outside first," Du Yan glanced at Qiao Luowei who was standing not far away watching the show, and then said to Hu Weiping, "Let me know if you have anything." Hu Weiping hesitated to speak, He also looked at Qiao Luowei. Although he didn't know what the relationship between Mr. Qiao and Director Du was, the words of Guo Songlin just now clearly hinted that Li Peizheng had thrown the hot potato of the Heavy Machinery Factory to Du Yan, which made Hu Weiping's heart I couldn't help but feel secretly vigilant. He knew that if these words were heard by Li Peizheng, no matter what Du Yan's reaction was, it would definitely have a very bad impact on Li Peizheng's heart. Because for anyone who hears this, given the original conflict between Du Yan and Guo Songlin, if Du Yan really has no idea about Li Peizheng's previous arrangements at the heavy machine factory, what will happen to Guo Songlin? How could he so directly provoke a relationship between him and Li Peizheng? Thinking of this, Hu Weiping couldn't help but feel uneasy. When he saw that Du Yan didn't even go to the conference room after listening to Guo Songlin's words, he was giving up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show his face in front of the provincial governor. Hu Weiping felt uneasy in his heart. There was even more anxiety. "It's okay Weiping," Du Yan seemed to know what Hu Weiping was thinking, and smiled at him, "fill up the cup for me. I guess I will have to drink a lot of water in a while." Just as Hu Weiping, who was full of doubts, filled up the cup with heat Not long after the water cup was delivered to Du Yan, who was reading documents in another room, a slightly noisy sound came from the unusually quiet corridor filled with cadres and workers. A cadre who poked his head into the room turned back to the corridor and shouted in a low voice: "Director Xue, Director Du is here!" Secretary Xue came in after hearing the sound and hurriedly walked into the room: "Director Du, please let me know Look, Governor Gao wants to see you immediately!" Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 73 Show off in front of the governor Seeing the anxious look on Secretary Xue's face, Du Yan stood up slowly. He was still holding the new evaluation report that Qiao Luowei showed him in the car. "Director Du, Governor Gao is waiting for you," Secretary Xue was secretly worried. If it weren't for Gao Ke's order to see him, Secretary Xue would not be so kind to this small cadre in the county, but even so when meeting Du Yan slowly packed up the documents in his hand. Secretary Xue's face, which was slightly unhappy because he couldn't find the person immediately, became a little gloomy. "Please move faster." Putting the evaluation report into the bag beside him, Du Yan's His fingers lightly scratched another document in his bag, and then he raised his head and smiled at Secretary Xue who was waiting impatiently: "Let's go, Director Xue." Although the small conference room in the office building of the Heavy Machinery Factory is practical The room is not small, but even if there are dozens of people standing there, it can't help but feel a little cramped. What's more, there is still a large space in front to make room for the leaders, so the area near the door of the small conference room is very small. It seems a bit crowded. Although there were a lot of people in the room, they seemed unusually quiet, and no one moved around casually. When Du Yan entered, the slightest commotion in the crowd immediately attracted nearly a hundred eyes to look at the door at the same time. Secretary Xue walked through the crowd unhurriedly. He had to consider his identity as the First Secretary of the Hexi Government at any time. When he saw Gao Ke looking at them from a distance, Secretary Xue's pace, which was originally as if he was measuring, immediately accelerated. A lot. "Governor, Director Du from Pingling is here." Secretary Xue whispered to Gao Ke, who was standing in front of a factory floor plan. Then he stepped aside and glanced at Du Yan beside him. Looking at Du Yan standing in front of Gao Ke, many people in the conference room couldn't help but have different expressions, especially Zhang Wenliang, who was standing at the back. He had been staring at Du Yan since he came in. When he saw Gao Ke turning to Du Yan Looking at it, Zhang Wenliang's heart couldn't help but beat fast. "Comrade Xiao Du, it seems that you are really busy," Gao Ke looked at Du Yan with a meaningful smile, and then he said to an old worker standing next to him who seemed slightly nervous, "Comrade Lao Gou, The Director Du you are talking about is Comrade Du Yan, right? " "Yes, Governor Gao, that is Director Du." The old worker nodded immediately. He was obviously very nervous because of Gao Ke's identity. After looking at Gao Ke. Xiang Du Yan said slightly uneasily: "Director Du, if I can't explain myself, I'll tell Governor Gao that you understand what's going on here." Although Lao Gou, a member of the Heavy Machinery Factory, also tried his best to contribute to the factory, he was easy to deal with compared to the always upright Du Zhenhai. Because of this, Lao Qiu, the secretary of the Heavy Machinery Factory, selected Lao Gou, who was easier to deal with, to accept Gao Ke's receive. But no one expected that this Lao Gou, whom Lao Qiu thought would never stab Lou Zi, would surprise Lao Qiu! In fact, this cannot be blamed on Lao Gou. When Gao Ke heard that Lao Gou was elected by the workers themselves as a worker representative to participate in the audit team, Gao Ke unexpectedly asked Lao Gou something that made many people around him immediately nervous. question. Faced with these problems, Lao Gou only hesitated for a moment before betraying Du Yan. At this time, seeing Lao Gou looking at him nervously for help, and then looking at Gao Ke's scrutinizing gaze on him, a confident smile appeared on Du Yan's face. "Comrade Du Yan, I just listened to the report on the restructuring of the Heavy Machinery Factory. I heard that you are also a member of the restructuring review team?" Gao Ke asked. Seeing Du Yan nodding, Gao Ke continued, "Yes. The province also attaches great importance to the restructuring of the heavy machinery factory. After all, this is related to a situation that other large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in Hexi may face in the future. Whether the heavy machinery factory can succeed in the restructuring and whether it can become a benchmark and a reference is It is a major event related to the future industrial development of the province. "Although they knew that they attached great importance to the heavy machinery factory, the people around them couldn't help but be surprised by Gao Ke's words. When they saw Gao Ke looking towards Du Yan, people's emotions were aroused. Attention immediately focused on Du Yan. "Comrade Du Yan, speaking of which, I am very interested in your review team. The composition of your review team is very novel. There are provincial departments, localities, factory management cadres and worker representatives. No one can dominate the sky with one hand. , everyone has to follow the rules, this is a typical good way to work together." At this point, Gao Ke showed a smile to Du Yan, "Comrade Xiao Du, tell me what you thought at the beginning, I'm listening. Master Lao Gou said that it was your suggestion to let workers¡¯ representatives join the review team, and you were also the first to support the re-evaluation of the assets of the heavy machinery factory? " Zhang Wenliang, who was standing behind, was already worried. . His heart skipped a beat when he heard Gao Ke's words. His eyes were fixed on Du Yan, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead due to nervousness.   Facing Gao Ke¡¯s seemingly peaceful but inquiring eyes, Du Yan smiled. If there are still people who know the true purpose of Gao Ke¡¯s inspection of the heavy machinery factory, then Du Yan is undoubtedly one of them! "Governor, it is the decision of the provincial leadership to send an audit team to the heavy machinery factory. Director Zhu gave me clear guidance when I reported to the audit team. As for the previous problems with the asset assessment of the heavy machinery plant, I It was only after Secretary Li and County Magistrate Guo made clear arrangements that I temporarily went to the heavy machinery factory to conduct an investigation. If I have done any specific work, it was with the support and encouragement of the leaders of the county party committee and county government. " Du Yan spoke without changing his expression and started praising his virtues. These words made Zhu Qinghao and other cadres in the review team couldn't help but smile. At least in their eyes, Director Du, although young, is quite good at things. He is very capable. We know the rules of carrying people in a sedan chair and not eating a good meal alone. But when Li Peizheng and Guo Songlin heard his words, their meaning completely changed. Especially when people thought about it briefly and realized that Du Yan¡¯s words did not mention the Taihua Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, many people couldn¡¯t help but look at the Pingling cadres with strange eyes. Gao Ke obviously noticed the vague meaning in Du Yan's words. He pondered for a moment and nodded, then looked at Du Yan who was standing not far away. Although his expression was relatively calm, his eyes were already quite unkind. Cui Jianbin waved at him: "Comrade Jianbin, come here." "Governor, what instructions do you have?" Cui Jianbin came over immediately. "Comrade Jianbin, your review team in Taihua is a new thing. Especially at this critical moment of reform, we must provide sufficient environment and support for this new thing." Gao Ke seems to be able to adapt to the situation. The words that can't help but stir people's hearts after thinking about it for a moment, make Cui Jianbin even more unhappy because of Du Yan's previous words. When Du Yan established the review team, he mentioned the province and Pingling, but he did not mention the leaders of Taihua Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. In fact, he had already filed a complaint in front of Gao Ke. Cui Jianbin felt unspeakable anger in his heart, but he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of Gao Ke. "The governor's instructions are really to the point," Cui Jianbin cheered up and answered. He really didn't know what Du Yan's fault was, and he actually spoke so unscrupulously in front of the provincial leaders. However, although he hated it, he could only Hidden in the bottom of my heart, ¡°We do need to continue to broaden our horizons in many places. Although we have been reforming for so many years, our Taihua cadres still, as the provincial governor instructed, cannot be satisfied with the small achievements we have achieved in front of us. We should work hard on new things. "Bigger steps." "Although Cui Jianbin didn't say it explicitly, he almost directly took the credit, which didn't make Gao Ke feel too disgusted. After all, everyone in the officialdom knew that eating alone would attract people's hatred. Putting leaders in the eyes is a fatal mistake. Therefore, Gao Ke's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Du Yan. At least in Gao Ke's eyes, this young man was obviously still a little politically naive. Otherwise, no matter how many conflicts there were, he would not be able to directly negotiate with Du Yan in such a public place. Challenging one's superiors is politically naive, and in the eyes of leaders it is unworthy of advancement. Is this the only level this young man has? Gao Ke couldn't help but look at Du Yan with a little surprise, and at the same time glanced at Qiao Luowei, who still looked so eye-catching even when he was standing in the crowd. "Governor, please allow me to explain again." Just as Cui Jianbin finished speaking and Gao Ke hadn't spoken yet, Du Yan suddenly spoke again. His obviously unruly behavior surprised everyone. "I just resigned." The establishment of this review team is inseparable from the strong support of provincial leaders and county party committee leaders, but the specific establishment ideas came from the direct instructions of the main leaders of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. "Is it too late to make amends? Just when people were thinking about his words, a slightly cunning look flashed in Du Yan's eyes. He turned slightly sideways and raised his hand to signal to Zhang Wenliang who was standing not far away: "For example, in the heavy machinery factory due to evaluation, When problems arose, Deputy Secretary Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee promptly came to our Pingling to guide the work, especially on some major issues related to reform. Deputy Secretary Zhang made it clear at the meeting that this was a critical moment for the advancement of reform. Nothing can hold back the reform. It is Deputy Secretary Zhang¡¯s courageous outlook on the overall situation, and it is precisely under the direct leadership of Secretary Cui and Mayor Ren who dare to forge ahead and the main leaders of the municipal party committee and government that our Pingling Heavy Machinery Only the vast number of cadres and workers in the factory have the courage to take this new thing like common sense." Having said this, Du Yan took a few steps and walked up to Zhang Wenliang, who had a face full of astonishment and had not yet realized what was going on, and gave him a deep look. Bowed, "Thank you Deputy Secretary Zhang, thank you for your selfless support to our Pingling, and also??Thank you for your continued help to us as the leader of the municipal party committee. " Zhang Wenliang's expression at this time can be said to be extremely wonderful. He never thought that Du Yan would say such a bunch of things in front of Gao Ke! "Don't talk about Pingling, it is the entire Taihua officialdom. Who doesn't know Zhang Are Wenliang and Du Yan rivals? Within a few days of the dispute at the heavy machinery factory, Zhang Wenliang went to Pingling to speak out about the previous evaluation results, and even threatened to take down Du Yan¡¯s speech on the spot at the meeting. Many people present were frightened just thinking about it. Why, Du Yan just opened his eyes and told lies and turned Zhang Wenliang's words about wanting to beat him to death with a stick into support for the workers of the heavy machinery factory to resist the disguised low-price sale. Supporting Director Xiao Du? This is a bit too cunning and shameless! While many people are still thinking about this, Zhang Wenliang has already cursed Du Yan¡¯s ancestors for eight generations. ! Zhang Wenliang knows better than anyone else the tricky aspects of the asset evaluation of the heavy machinery factory. He even asked his father-in-law, the Minister of Machinery Industry, for the specific details of which state-owned enterprise should be used to test the waters first in Taihua. Sui Jianchao provided it. But with just a few words from Du Yan¡¯s mouth, he turned out to be supporting those workers against him! Even though his father-in-law couldn¡¯t be right just because of this little bastard¡¯s words? What does his son-in-law think, but the bastard is so angry! Not to mention that Du Yan blocked him in front of so many people. If he stands up to oppose it in the future, it will appear to be capricious. Gao Ke will How do you think of yourself, and what do others think of you? Looking at Du Yan, who was slandering him in front of Gao Ke, Zhang Wenliang's hands trembled slightly, but he still forced himself to put on a look that looked better than crying. Without much of a smile, he stretched out his hand and shook it stiffly with Du Yan, who had already handed him his hands. But what made Zhang Wenliang even more angry was that before he could even open his mouth to say a few words, Du Yan said. He immediately withdrew his hands and turned around to walk towards Ren Shuqiang, exposing him to the scene! This scene fell in the eyes of Taihua and Pinling cadres, and the only impression left on people was, "Director Du is so vindictive!" " Facing Ren Shuqiang and Cui Jianbin, Du Yan's attitude became much more sincere and honest. After bowing to the two bosses of Taihua's municipal party committee and government, he obediently stepped back and stood with Lao Gou. But even so, people still glanced at him involuntarily. No one could have imagined that Gao Ke's inspection would turn into Du Yan's personal performance. Gao Ke had been watching silently when Du Yan started acting. When Cui Jianbin. When Ren Shuqiang accepted Du Yan's title of "Leader of New Things" seemingly modestly but reservedly, Gao Ke looked at this quite interesting scene with amusement. Gao Ke was not familiar with Zhang Wenliang, but he was not familiar with it. We know that Zhang Wenliang is the son-in-law of Sui Jianchao, the Minister of Machinery Industry, and we also know what role the Sui family represented by Zhang Wenliang played in this restructuring. If the Song family is interested in the huge potential of the mainland heavy industry group, they want to expand. While using chopsticks to fish out this piece of fat, you can also provide Gao Ke with a plan that satisfies his political performance and policy. Then the Sui family and those behind them will look a little ugly. Gao Ke has his own problems. With political ambitions in his prime, he is less than fifty years old, so his ambitions are not limited to the governorship of a province. Therefore, compared with the small profits that the Sui family may propose, the Song family has a lot of political ambitions. The conditions proposed were more in line with Gao Ke's interests at this time. Even if Du Yan was so blatantly underhanded, Gao Ke could guess that things would never be as this boy said. Go against your father-in-law for the benefit of a group of workers in the heavy machinery factory? Go ahead! Gao Ke couldn't help but have an inexplicable smile on his face, but in the eyes of others, this smile was naturally a sign of approval for Du Yan's previous report. , although Du Yan's later posturing was obviously not in line with official rules, but seeing that both Governor Gao and Secretary Cui, the mayor, had harmonious smiles on their faces, Director Xiao Du's youthful and energetic impulse was also reflected in people's eyes. In his mind, he became a brave and resourceful person who could understand the leader's intentions. Only Zhang Wenliang stood there, unable to retreat, and his body was stiff. He knew that he was really pissed off by this little bastard who had always had trouble with him. , But in front of Gao Ke, Zhang Wenliang could only suffer the loss of being dumb. , , and Zhang Wenliang looked at each other, and Du Yan suddenly grinned at him. Then there is nothing to worry about. The unity on the surface is something everyone must abide by, but in privateThere is absolutely no need to save face for the other party. For opponents who know that there is no possibility of compromise, then find the right opportunity to beat them to death with a stick! This is the law of officialdom! As if he felt the eyes of someone next to him, Du Yan turned around and saw Qiao Luowei looking right at him. "Mr. Qiao, are you okay?" Du Yan showed a smile that he thought was handsome, but somewhat unfamiliar. After all, both he and Qiao Luowei were the focus of attention. Apart from Zhang Wenliang, there may not be anyone else. I'm thinking about finding fault with him. It's just that his smile looked awkward in Qiao Luowei's eyes. Thinking of how he had confused right and wrong just now, Qiao Luowei's mind flashed for some reason. Zhao Xiaoyun often used it when mentioning him. That word: "What a little hooligan." A small episode did not waste too much time. Although there was an accident when meeting the workers' representatives, the subsequent inspection became much simpler and normal. Lao Qiu, the secretary of the Heavy Machinery Factory, led a large group of people to visit the factory yard. Speaking of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory, as the old foundation laid during the early construction of the third line, not only does it have a rich history, but also after many years The precipitation has indeed left a deep technical accumulation, but even so, looking at the machines and equipment that, although they have been specially wiped, can still hardly hide their old smell from the mottled rust, Gao Ke's face is filled with emotion. That trace of smile also gradually disappeared. Although it was already afternoon, the temperature in the factory yard was still quite high. Gao Ke felt a little hot and wanted to raise his hand to pick up the safety helmet he was wearing. However, he saw a provincial and Taiwanese reporter not far away who was constantly filming. He stopped this action and instead gently wiped his forehead. This action was immediately captured by the reporter who had been waiting for the opportunity. While quickly taking pictures of this action, an article was published "Under the high temperature, the provincial governor goes deep into the front line to be cordial." The splendid article "Condolences to the Workers" has already taken shape in this scholar's mind. "Comrade Jianbin, the problem of the heavy machinery factory still exists," Gao Ke said to Cui Jianbin who was following him. At the same time, he signaled to the secretary-general of the provincial government next to him, "I think we should hold a special meeting when we go back, about the provincial government. The problems of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises here now seem to be serious and should be paid enough attention to. " The secretary-general nodded slightly, and at the same time, the staff beside him quickly wrote down Gao Ke's words in their notebooks. Seeing this. At this scene, Cui Jianbin couldn't help but glance at Zhang Wenliang behind him. Zhang Wenliang's expression was equally ugly. He had known for a long time that the problems at the heavy machinery factory had attracted Gao Ke's attention. However, according to Zhang Wenliang's understanding of Gao Ke's motivation for this inspection, it seemed that it was nothing more than a show of new leadership and a new outlook at the beginning of his new term. It's just a formality. Even if some problems are discovered, judging from Gao Ke's attention to Taihua, since he wants to set up Taihua as a benchmark for his tenure, even if there are some problems, not only will he help Taihua Hua will solve the problem, and even when necessary, in order to maintain the image of this benchmark, it is only right to make things big and make them small. But now it seems that Gao Ke has the momentum to lift the lid. This not only surprised Zhang Wenliang, but also Cui Jianbin and Ren Shuqiang couldn't help but feel a little incredible. Could it be that just a few words from Du Yan made Gao Ke think like this? Looking at Gao Ke¡¯s back, this thought flashed aside in Ren Shuqiang¡¯s mind. Who is Gao Ke? If he hadn't already had the idea, how could he change his original intention because of the words of a county party committee cadre? But if it weren't for Du Yan, the only explanation can only be that Gao Ke had already had an opinion on the issue of the heavy machinery factory! Thinking of this, Ren Shuqiang's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Cui Jianbin, who was beside Gao Ke and was listening to Gao Ke's instructions seriously, and said to himself: "Old Cui, just ask for your blessings." What surprised many people again was that when Gao Ke left, Secretary Xue, who was going to get in the car with him, suddenly stayed, which attracted the attention of many people. Although Secretary Xue did not follow Gao Ke from the beginning, as the first secretary of the provincial government, in the entire secretarial circle of Hexi Province, except for the secretary of Provincial Party Committee Secretary Feng Zhenhuai, Secretary Xue can be said to be looked up to, so it seems When he got on the bus and got off quickly, people couldn't help but look at him. Secretary Xue enjoyed the feeling of being noticed, but he also knew what was enough, so after he felt a little proud, he immediately quickened his pace and came to Du Yan, who was chatting with Ding Bingxian in a low voice under people's gaze. "Director Du, are you free tonight?" Secretary Xue, with a unique reserved smile on his face, asked under the gaze of a group of "audiences" who listened with their ears upright, "Shall we have a meal together?" Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 74 Everyone has their own plans When Secretary Xue said that he wanted to treat Du Yan to dinner, the eyes of the people standing nearby became indescribably complicated. Then I saw Secretary Xue taking out a notebook and pen from his briefcase and writing a few words while talking, then tore it off and handed it over, and then told Du Yan seriously that this was his temporary call in Pingling. The look on Du Yan's face can be described as wonderful. Although Gao Ke could only stay in Pingling for two days at most, the Pingling County Committee not only arranged a confidential phone for Gao Ke himself, but also arranged a special phone for Secretary Xue. As a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, it would be easy for Du Yan to get Secretary Xue¡¯s phone number in Pingling, but if this number was taken from Secretary Xue himself, the meaning would be completely different. As someone close to Gao Ke, people are very aware of the importance of Secretary Xue. As the secretary to the provincial governor, he must always be with Gao Ke if it is not necessary. As for this kind of overseas inspection, he must follow the leader. . But at this time, Secretary Xue not only stayed alone but also got out of the car and asked Du Yan to treat him to dinner. Even the most obtuse person knows that this is definitely not as simple as it seems! Just as Liang Benchu¡¯s secretary Chu Yijun represents Liang Benchu ??in every word and deed, Secretary Xue represents the provincial governor Gao Ke. Because of this, even though it was only a temporary phone number in Pingling, the meaning behind this number given out by Secretary Xue could definitely make people ponder for a long time. "Thank you, Director Xue. Let me treat you to dinner. How about Carp House tonight? Although it can't compare with famous people in the province, it is somewhat unique." Du Yan smiled and shook hands with Secretary Xue. "Okay, see you in the evening." Secretary Xue didn't bother with whom to treat. In fact, this was not the main thing at all. Now that the meaning had been conveyed, Secretary Xue nodded and turned around to get into a car waiting for him. Gao Ke¡¯s motorcade had already driven out of the heavy machinery factory. Looking at the cloud of dust rising from behind Secretary Xue¡¯s car, Du Yan turned around and looked at Ding Bingxian, who was standing beside him and had been watching the scene silently. "Uncle Ding, how about I go to your place and have some good tea when you have time?" Du Yan thought of Ding Bingxian and said with a smile. A faint smile appeared on Ding Bingxian's calm face. He seemed to be the only one who was not affected by what just happened. When he heard Du Yan's question, Ding Bingxian nodded briefly, and then asked as if he had suddenly remembered. He said, "I heard that Su Qian is back? Why don't you let her come to my house and try the good tea I have in store." Seeing that Ding Bing agreed, Du Yan nodded. The meaning of the words was already conveyed and there was no need to say more. explain. But when he turned around, his eyebrows couldn't help but condense. He didn't know when Qiao Luowei had quietly left. Because the original schedule in Taihua was shortened, Gao Ke had no arrangements for a short period of time in the afternoon after inspecting the heavy machinery factory. Although Pingling proposed to hold a small welcome in the afternoon to welcome Gao Ke's arrival. Yes, but was rejected by Gao Ke. With Gao Ke's status, he has already ignored a lot of things that appear in the public eye. In addition to seeing him in various media and newspapers on some important provincial and municipal news, people who can usually see him There are only a few people there, let alone in the counties and cities below. This made many people secretly heave a sigh of relief. Although Gao Ke would inspect the management of the Xiaoqing River in Pingling later, at least this time would allow many people to comment on Gao Ke's remarks during the inspection. Think about it carefully. When leaving the heavy machinery factory, Gao Ke had already told Cui Jianbin that he would go directly back to the county party committee to take a rest first, and then come to pick him up in the evening. Because of this, except for Li Peizheng and Guo Songlin, all the cadres in Pingling were ruthlessly blocked. Although many people wanted to show their faces in front of Gao Ke, when they thought of Governor Gao, Before the new official took office, he had no chance to start the fire, so his thoughts of becoming familiar with each other were withdrawn. ¡°After all, Governor Gao has not yet established his authority at the beginning of his term. If you brush off any of Governor Gao¡¯s skin because you want to become familiar with him, then it will really be more than the gain is worth the loss. Du Yan also left the heavy machinery factory not long after Gao Ke left. Thinking of the smile on Lao Qiu, the secretary of the heavy machinery factory before getting on the bus, and even pretending to cover the hood when he got on the bus, Du Yan I can't help but sigh and sigh for all the benefits that power can bring. And when his car drove into the county party committee compound and stopped, a cadre who "happened" to pass by not only rushed to Hu Weiping before he got out of the car, but also opened the door for him before others. Du Yan felt that Things around here have changed a bit. Although Gao Ke didn't ask anyone else to accompany him back to Xiaozhao, no one really thought that this period of time would be relaxing, so Du YanAs soon as he entered the conference room on the second floor, he saw Liu Zhizheng, Secretary General of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, speaking to a group of Pingling cadres gathered in front of him. "Remember to ensure the public security environment along the Xiaoqing River at night. Everyone must take responsibility for the responsibility and strictly guard the area. Whoever is responsible for the accident will bear the responsibility!" Liu Zhi looked at the cadres in front of him with a stern expression. "I want to tell you all." I have heard about some things that happened in the city yesterday. This is a warning! So we must not allow that kind of unexpected situation to happen again in Pingling. We must treat this as a political mission." Seeing Du Yan enter, Liu Zhixiang. He waved slightly: "Comrade Du Yan, come here." Hearing Liu Zhi call Du Yan's name, people immediately moved out of the way. When passing by Liao Kun, Du Yan clearly felt that Liao Kun was looking at him with jealousy. Eyes. "Comrade Du Yan, I want to hear your explanation about the situation at the heavy machinery factory." Liu Zhi's originally stern expression suddenly darkened, and there was a hint of anger in his voice. "I want to know the workers you selected." What's going on with the representative? " Liu Zhi's Tai Hu made people who originally thought Liu Zhi would be the icing on the cake praise Du Yan couldn't help but be stunned. For a while, their originally jealous and cold eyes became warm, although they were still just listening to Liu Zhi's words. , but people's mood at this time is completely different from before. Liao Kun glanced at the Propaganda Minister Lao Xu next to him, and both of them couldn't help showing a look of gloating in their eyes. Xiao Du, Xiao Du, your scenery is almost the same, it's time to walk away. Liu Zhi looked at Du Yan who was looking at him sternly, and there was a chill in his voice: "Comrade Du Yan, you should be very clear about the importance of Governor Gao's inspection this time, but when you are selecting worker representatives What standard is it based on? Is it a case of being cunning or relying on one's elders?" Liu Zhi stopped here and glanced at the faces of the cadres around him. "I know that Master Gou from the heavy machinery factory is a model old man. You are a pacesetter, but just because the old model is competent at his job, it does not mean that he can complete other tasks assigned by the organization. Do you know what he said to Governor Gao before you came? The restructuring is a waste! Comrade Du Yan, I want to ask you, why do you still let such a worker go to see Governor Gao? Is someone trying to gain a reputation as a loyal critic? ?¡± Liu Zhi¡¯s unceremonious tone made everyone around him gasp. No one expected that Secretary-General Liu, who was always known for his stability, would suddenly lose his temper, and the target was Du, who had just excelled in front of Gao Ke. Word. Chu Yilan stood aside and looked at Liu Zhi with some astonishment. In her impression, Liu Zhi had always been a person who was indifferent to emotions and anger. In addition to his surprisingly good memory, Liu Zhi was more like The Taihua Municipal Party Committee building was running like a sophisticated artificial computer. Chu Yilan had never seen him like this, let alone the cadres of the districts and counties below. Although as Liu Zhi said, Master Lao Gou did say a few inappropriate words out of nervousness and excitement when Gao Ke met him, Chu Yilan still couldn't imagine how Liu Zhi could get into such a big fight because of this. Du Yan listened calmly to Liu Zhi's scolding. There was no uneasiness on his face, as if Liu Zhi's words were not meant for him. This made the anger on Liu Zhi's face even worse, but he gradually calmed down slightly. Shaking his head: "Xiao Du, you are a member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee and a county leader, not an ordinary citizen. Your consciousness and vision should be brighter and further than ordinary employee cadres. What happened today is a lesson. I hope you can treat it correctly. This matter will be helpful for your future work. "Liu Zhiyu was serious, but his words made people around him take a breath! Liu Zhi's seemingly caring comfort was actually putting the reputation of being a critic as mentioned before directly on Du Yan's head. As soon as he left, Du Yan's love behind him would be revealed whether it was as he said or not. The blame for the petty actions is now firmly established! "Secretary-General, Master Lao Gou is the worker representative of the audit team. This is jointly elected by the workers of the heavy machinery factory. As workers' representatives, they are also the wishes of the workers of the heavy machinery factory." Du Yan replied calmly, Of course he knew that Liu Zhi's real intention was just to indulge in drunkenness. Remembering that the letter of intent for the Hong Kong Development Company's exclusive acquisition of Liuliji Clay had been kept in a drawer in his office, Du Yan could think of Liu Zhi's intention. Playing on the topic. It¡¯s just that Director Xiao Du is not a good person, and of course he will not let Liu Zhi put such a label on his head so easily. "Comrade Du Yan, there is something wrong with your thinking," Liu Zhi did not expect Du Yan to refute him in front of so many people. Although Du Yan was famous for his willingness to confront leaders, "the representatives elected by the workers must also obey the organization's arrangements." , we must also understand the organizational spirit. If it depends on their personality,??, when Governor Gao inspects the management of Xiaoqinghe River in the evening, are you still going to stop the sedan chair and complain? "Liu Zhi's words made Du Yan smile slightly. He looked back slightly and glanced at Liu Laofei who was standing aside and said with a smile: "Secretary-General, don't worry, the comrades of the County Public Security Bureau will never let such an unexpected situation happen. Is it Director Liu? "It's you, you big-headed devil! Liu Laofei almost yelled! But seeing Liu Zhi's slightly suspicious eyes following Du Yan's words, Liu Laofei, who felt depressed and wanted to curse, could only push out his big belly and face Liu Zhi. Zhidao said: ¡°Secretary-General, please rest assured that all the officers of our County Public Security Bureau will ensure that Governor Gao¡¯s inspection goes smoothly. Liu Zhi frowned slightly and nodded. He glanced at Du Yan, who seemed to have an indescribable coldness in his expression. After secretly exhaling a deep breath, he gave a few more instructions, and then followed him. Several cadres left the conference room. After what Liu Zhi said, the cadres who originally wanted to get close to Du Yan couldn't help but hesitate. When they thought that Liu Zhi could not make the decision without authorization, he wanted to buckle Du Yan. Because of this little trick, people around him looked at Du Yan with slightly different looks. After all, even if he really did well in front of Gao Ke, if his superiors would hold grudges because of Governor Bo's attention, that would be a big deal. It's too bad. After all, Gao Ke is a high-ranking emperor and the emperor is far away. It is unlikely that he will stand up for a deputy director-level cadre in a county just because he has only met him once. In this case, once Gao Ke leaves, it seems that Director Xiao Du's life will be very difficult. It was not a good time. After thinking about it, the cadres on this floor immediately made excuses to leave. Fortunately, they were really busy at work, so in a flash, only Du Yan and Qi Shi stood in the entire office. Chu Yilan was silent next to him, ¡°Isn¡¯t County Magistrate Chu busy? " Du Yan smiled slightly at Chu Yilan. He didn't know that his smile, which he considered very serious and gentlemanly, always gave Chu Yilan an indescribable strange feeling, especially when he thought of his first time. When they met, he showed him those pornographic magazines, and Chu Yilan had the urge to slap them away. ¡°Director Du is really in a good mood today. "Chu Yilan said as she leaned slightly on the desk behind her. She didn't know that because of this movement, her waist could not help but push forward slightly, and her slightly fat gray professional clothes stuck to her body slightly. , her already plump body curves were highlighted even more clearly. ¡°Mr. Chu, are you trying to harm me? "Du Yan also followed Chu Yilan's example and leaned on the table behind him. Since they came to Pingling, except for the uninvited meal, the two of them have never been alone. "Speaking of which, County Magistrate Chu, you should treat me to dinner. Today I took a big blame for you. " Hearing what Du Yan said, Chu Yilan's face turned slightly red. Although picking peaches is commonplace in official circles, it is a bit uncomfortable to have someone take the blame for picking someone else's peaches. Kind. What's more, Chu Yilan knew very well that the little Director Du in front of her was not one of those ordinary cadres. From the words of her father Chu Ping and brother Chu Yijun before coming, Chu Yilan had vaguely guessed that although Du Yan himself had no background. , but due to various reasons, Du Yan seems to have become a special link between Chu Ping and even Gao Ke and a certain force. Otherwise, even if Du Yan does anything to support Ma Zhiyan, given Gao Ke's status and height, it will not work. It's impossible for him to be interested in a small cadre in this district. "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner in a few days," Chu Yilan's face quickly returned to her natural state, and she smiled softly at Du Yan. It seems that I am not very familiar with the work here in Pingling. It would be of great help if I could get help from Director Du. I wonder if Director Du would be willing to give me some advice? " Thinking about the meaning of these words, Du Yan glanced at Chu Yilan. If these words come from other people's mouth, it is obviously with the intention of recruiting, and even Chu Yilan may not have this. The meaning is just because of women's natural advantages. Although the meaning of the words is very clear, it is not difficult to accept. And more importantly, Du Yan knows that Chu Yilan did not say this casually. It is obvious that she did not say it casually. This was because he asked her to treat him, and he took the opportunity to test Du Yan. "I will bother Magistrate Chu if I have time. I'll go see how the arrangements are outside." "Du Yan smiled and leaned forward slightly to greet him. As a result, his eyes naturally fell on the outturned collar of Chu Yilan's suit, looking at the deep groove that was squeezed and sunken because his hands were wrapped around him. Du Yan was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but raise his head and show a slightly meaningful smile to Chu Yilan. Seeing Du Yan's obviously malicious smile,Chu Yilan was stunned at first. When she instinctively lowered her head and saw the scene on her chest, a trace of anger suddenly appeared on Chu Yilan's face! But at this time, Du Yan, who knew that the situation was not good, had already walked towards the door, leaving only a pair of eyes behind him that seemed to be about to kill him! Xiaoqinghe was called Zhaohe in the Tang Dynasty, and was renamed Qinghe in the Song Dynasty to avoid the Zhao taboo. In the Qing Dynasty, it was called Zhaohe to avoid the Qing taboo. Qinghe. The Xiaoqing River is not only the main river in Pingling, but also one of the main rivers in Taihua. Many years ago, in order to build national defense, Taihua was selected as a third-tier city. Almost overnight, workers, cadres, technicians, railway corps, and engineering troops gathered from all over the country to build the third-tier city. Many years later, an industrial city focusing on military and heavy industry appeared beside the Xiaoqing River. The chimneys of the steel mills emitted black smoke and pushed the waste into trucks into the slag ditch directly connected to the Xiaoqing River. While the chemical plant transported fertilizers for construction, it also discharged a large amount of wastewater into the flood channel beside the Xiaoqing River. The environment in Xiaoqinghe became worse and worse. However, due to the limitations of the times and the restrictions of the political environment at that time, no one thought about it at that time, and no one dared to raise objections because of such a trivial issue as the environment. It was not until Chu Ping took office a few years ago that a drinking water pollution accident that shocked the entire province occurred in an area where the lower reaches of the Xiaoqing River enters the Longjiang estuary, the topic of environmental management along the Xiaoqing River and other major industrial cities in the province was discussed. The report was then placed on the desk of the relevant leader. Du Yan is not sure how interested Gao Ke is in regulating Xiaoqing River. At least in Du Yan's view, for a typical politician like Gao Ke, environmental governance is a huge investment with no benefits and even high political risks. More importantly, it is purely an act of planting trees for future generations to enjoy the shade. Obviously it doesn't meet his requirements. What Gao Ke hopes to see is a political achievement that can quickly open up the situation for him and bring benefits. It was precisely because of this that he came to Taihua at the first stop of his inspection, because Gao Ke knew very well that Taihua could achieve this goal for him. So in a sense, the inspection of Xiaoqinghe was not so much that Gao Ke wanted to show outsiders the new atmosphere of the new governor he advocated, but rather that he wanted to express an attitude to certain people or simply a certain person. This person is Chu Ping. Although the drinking water pollution incident was eventually suppressed, it became one of the things Chu Ping¡¯s political opponents used to criticize him. It wasn't until a few years later when Chu Ping's term was about to expire and he was likely to take the opportunity to take another half-step forward, that incident was made a big fuss by his opponents, although everyone who knew the inside story knew that The real reason why Chu Ping failed to take that critical half-step was actually because his inter-provincial railway plan had affected some people's golden jobs. But to the outside world, it was mainly because of the drinking water pollution incident that caused him A fatal blow. So when Gao Ke came to Pingling, he inspected the management of Xiaoqing River. This was obviously to show some kind of tribute or attitude to Chu Ping, who had entrusted his political legacy to him. More importantly, Gao Ke¡¯s move undoubtedly announced to the entire Hexi Province officialdom that he was the heir to Gao Ke¡¯s political assets. It also announced the end of the Chu Ping era and the advent of the Gao Ke era. Sitting in the single room of Liyuju, Du Yan thought so and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Gao Ke is undoubtedly a very politically savvy and energetic person, which even reminds him of a maverick frontier official in a southeastern province many years later. It¡¯s just that the current Gao Ke cannot be compared with the later feudal official who had a big tree on his back and fierce support, although that feudal official is still serving as an inconspicuous director of the county committee office in a county in Jiaodong Province. Thinking of the future governor who was still at the same level as himself, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Many people cannot imagine now that some little people who are still insignificant today will become one of the few people who will determine the destiny of the country in the future. And among these people who will determine the destiny of the country in the future, will they also have a place of their own? Du Yan thought silently. He knew that this sounded like an overestimating idea. If he told it, it would definitely make countless people laugh. But Du Yan knew very well that such an idea may not be impossible to realize. Since it was just to express a certain attitude, Gao Ke's inspection of Xiao Qinghe was just a simple formality, so he did not do anything to go deep into the masses and understand the people's sentiments. This actually made many people feel their hearts in their throats. The NPC breathed a sigh of relief. Du Yan arrived at Liyuju directly after Gao Ke returned.In the private room, Shen Hefu had prepared a pot of good tea. Smelling the faint fragrance, Du Yan couldn't help but secretly praise that Old Shen was indeed a material for big business in the future. Ever since they decided to develop the wall behind Factory 307 as a front house, Shen and Fu almost dumped their entire property into it. Du Yan sometimes wondered if the business in that front house was ruined. Old Shen Will the whole family end up with a tragic end without even a place to sleep? While going all out to build the front room, Shen Hefu, perhaps inspired by Du Yan's 888 Noble Green Fruit Wine, began to deliberately raise the level of Liyuju from the original public restaurant. Although there were still receptions in the lobby For ordinary guests, the private rooms have been divided into two different specifications. In addition to the previous private rooms, a portal originally opened to the open space at the back of Xiaoqing River, which is used as a fishing ground, and two larger private rooms have been opened. , not only the decoration scale and grade of the private rooms are obviously higher than that of other private rooms, but even the waiters in these two private rooms are superior to the other waiters. "Director Du, this is the real Yuhou Maojian. It is different from the scented tea in the north. Please try it." Shen Hefu gestured slightly to the young waiter next to him. Looking at the skillful and flowing movements, Du Yan couldn't help but glance at the pretty waitress who held the clay pot lightly with her clean and slender fingers. "New here?" Du Yan asked Shen Hefu. "We are also from Pingling. We didn't go to college last year. Now we are in charge of the two private rooms at the back of my carp house." Shen Hefu said while paying attention to Du Yan's expression and saw Du Yan's eyes after hearing what he said. Staying with the waitress again, Shen Hefu gave the girl a slight look. "Director Du, please." The young girl's thin green fingers picked up the small purple sand cup on the bamboo tea stand and handed it to Du Yan. Seeing Du Yan looking at her, the girl couldn't help but blush slightly and lowered her eyelids. "Old Shen, it's not bad." Du Yan did not take the cup, but pointed to the table and motioned for the girl to put it down. "Speaking of which, this Yuqian Maojian must be played with by a young and translucent girl to make it taste good. If it is like the one in Dream of Red Mansions, Mr. Bao Er said that if a stupid old man comes to do this, he will ruin things." Hearing Du Yan's words, Shen and Fu immediately burst into laughter, while the young girl standing next to him looked slightly surprised and concealed. He looked at Du Yan with doubtful eyes. "Xiaoqi, don't think it's weird," Shen Hefu said deliberately when he saw the girl's eyes, "Director Du is different from other leaders. When he was secretary to Secretary Li of the county party committee, he used to have a hard pen. She is also a theoretical expert who has written articles in the national party newspaper. " Shen Hefu's words made the girl's eyes show a hint of surprise. She looked at Du Yan curiously, which made the already thoughtful Du Yan think of him even more. Her sister Duffy, who is about the same age as her. "Let's talk." After hearing what Du Yan said, Shen Hefu, who originally wanted to make some jokes, signaled the girl to exit the private room, then he pulled his chair forward and looked at Du Yan with a smile. "Old Shen, I want to ask you, how brave are you?" But then, Du Yan's first words shocked Shen Hefu! Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 75 Secretary Xue Shen Hefu looked at Du Yan with a pale face. How brave are you? What are you brave enough to do? Although they knew it was unlikely, Shen Hefu's minds still flashed through such criminal activities as breaking door locks, robbing homes, forcing girls into prostitution, and selling white noodles. Then he secretly gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: "Director Du, just tell me if you have any orders. Although I, Old Shen, am a businessman, I have a few friends. You also know what kind of person I am!" Shen Hefu looked like he was surrendering calmly. Du Yan was stunned for a moment before he realized that there seemed to be some misunderstanding about old Shen. At this time, he must have thought that he might be asking him to do something for him. Du Yan was a little dumbfounded. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a slow sip. Then he looked at Shen Hefu with a faint smile: "Old Shen, I didn't expect you to be so loyal, but I don't need you to show your loyalty now. , I¡¯m asking you if you have the courage to make this Carp House bigger.¡± Hearing what Du Yan said, Shen Hefu¡¯s face relaxed at first, and then showed a hint of embarrassment. "Director Du, this matter is not easy." Shen Hefu frowned and looked around, "You also know that I can say that I have dumped all my belongings on the front house in Factory 307, and even mortgaged this carp house. Now I can say that I have nothing but a bunch of houses." Looking at Shen Hefu's heartbroken confession, Du Yan shook his head in his heart, thinking about what would happen if someone said to others in twenty years, "I have nothing. There¡¯s just a bunch of houses.¡± It¡¯s likely that people who heard this were either so angry that they slapped him in the face, or they were so envious and jealous that they immediately vomited blood. It¡¯s just that in the early 1990s, there were few people like Shen Hefu, but who could see that step many years later? "Old Shen, your Carp House is really good, but don't you think that no matter how good it is, there won't be much development in our place in Pingling?" Du Yan said and looked at his watch, guessing that Secretary Xue might be here soon When he arrived, he said to Shen Hefu: "Think about it carefully, maybe this time is an opportunity for you." Shen Hefu nodded and stood up. Although he didn't know the origin of the person who was eating with Du Yan today, Du Yan could see that It seemed that he attached great importance to this meal, so Lao Shen also cheered up and made some preparations in advance. But as soon as they reached the door, Shen Hefu seemed to have remembered something and turned to Du Yan and said, "By the way, Director Du, I have something to say to you" At eight o'clock sharp, Secretary Xue appeared in Liyuju. Although they didn't recognize him at the door, Shen Hefu standing at the door immediately saw that this middle-aged man was no ordinary person. The unique calmness that comes from being immersed in the officialdom for many years, and the reserve of a superior person made Secretary Xue look very different from others when he stood there, so Shen and Fu immediately guessed that this person should be Du Yan. Guests tonight. While hinting that people should notify Du Yan immediately, Shen Hefu walked over to talk to Secretary Xue with a smile on his face. Then when he saw Du Yan, he immediately came out of the private room and exchanged some pleasantries with the middle-aged man before the two of them entered the private room. , Shen Hefu was even more certain that this person must have a good background. In the private room, after sitting down and saying a few polite words, Secretary Xue took the teacup and gently sipped the newly replaced Yuqian Maojian. His eyes roamed back and forth between the cup in his hand and Du Yan's face, with a look in his eyes. There was a slightly distant look on his face, which was completely different from the way he looked when talking to Du Yan in front of others during the day. Du Yan knew very well that what Secretary Xue said during the day was just for others to see. For this provincial chief secretary, who was called the second person in the secretarial circle of Hexi Province, he, a small district and county cadre, was actually Not in his eyes at all. But Du Yan didn¡¯t care about Secretary Xue¡¯s attitude. After all, for him, the real target of today¡¯s meeting was Gao Ke! Du Yan took out a prepared document from his briefcase and slowly pushed it in front of Secretary Xue. Then he also picked up the cup on the table and took a sip. Secretary Xue felt a little unhappy. Although this meeting was actually ordered by Gao Ke, he thought that the reason why Gao Ke paid attention to such a deputy cadre was mostly because of his bold speech during the day. Although this It did leave an impression on Gao Ke to some extent, but he had seen a lot of such cadres himself, so there was no need to pay too much attention to it. Seeing how confident Du Yan was now, Secretary Xue couldn't help but feel that this young man was a bit arrogant. If it hadn't been for Gao Ke's instructions, he would have already walked away by this time. Secretary Xue picked up the document that Du Yan put on the table, but when he saw the title on the cover page, his originally calm face could not help but change. He has seen this document from Gao Ke! Although there are a large number of documents that need to be approved by the governor every day?, but unless it is really important, most of it is filtered by the secretarial department. Things that really need to be read by Gao Ke personally are sorted out by Secretary Xue, who is the chief secretary. Therefore, Secretary Xue knew very well which documents had their origins. Even if some leading cadres temporarily brought documents to Gao Ke for review, he would have to register and file them afterwards. And this document called "Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory Secondary Evaluation Detailed Report" was not sent to Gao Ke through his hands, and it was not even within the scope of his filing. Because of this, when sorting out the documents for Gao Ke, Secretary Xue was deeply impressed by the evaluation report he saw, because he knew that anything that could be put directly in front of Gao Ke without passing through his hands, no matter it was The document itself and the person who sent it are obviously unusual. Now the evaluation report from Gao Ke appeared in front of him again, and the person who took it out was the inconspicuous district and county cadre in front of him. When he thought about Gao Ke's instructions to have contact with this young man, Secretary Xue's slightly distant expression slowly faded away. "Director Du, this is" Secretary Xue raised his eyes and looked at Du Yan. "Xue Chu, this is a report that was just made two days ago thanks to a friend." Seeing the change in Secretary Xue's attitude, Du Yan got off the donkey. The so-called sedan chair carries people, let alone the provincial government. Du Yan knew the importance of the big secret, but even so, he didn't intend to speak too clearly. Sometimes the more he does it, the more people can't understand it. "The governor's instructions during the day are very to the point, Heavy Machinery Factory There are indeed a lot of problems. " "Yes, the situation in Pingling is indeed more complicated than expected," Secretary Xue nodded slowly. He looked at Du Yan and was thinking about the origin of the document. With his Experience, this kind of thing that appears directly in Gao Ke's hands, mostly comes from complex backgrounds. Now that Du Yan can also produce this document, it at least shows that his so-called friend has some kind of connection with Gao Ke. "Director Du, I wonder if you have any solution to the current situation of the heavy machinery factory?" came, Du Yan smiled in his heart. Although Gao Ke's idea of ??using Taihua as the benchmark for his new policy is almost universally known, some incidents that have occurred in Pingling have cast a layer of uncertainty on his trip to Taihua. The shadow of nothing. At least the petition by several state-owned enterprise workers in Taihua the day before made Gao Ke¡¯s inspection obviously not so satisfactory. If we think of the turmoil caused by the heavy machinery factory some time ago, even as the provincial governor, Gao Ke obviously Be careful and cautious. After all, the car in front of Chu Ping who left sadly was not far away, Gao Ke would not fail to take this into consideration. In this way, how to solve the restructuring problem of the heavy machine factory as soon as possible has become the key. Although many people think that Gao Ke's inspection of the heavy machine factory is more of an image-building performance, some people do understand that Gao Ke's inspection of the heavy machine factory is more of an image-building performance. For him, how to completely solve the problem of the heavy machinery factory is the key to whether his benchmark can be successfully erected! "Xue Chu, I have an idea here about the restructuring of the heavy machine factory. I don't know if it is mature enough. I hope you can correct it," Du Yan said, taking out another written document from his briefcase and putting it on the table. In front of Secretary Xue, "I have heard that you are a top student at Jinghua University, and your theoretical level is extraordinary." Secretary Xue smiled reservedly and said nothing, but Du Yan's words reminded him of the temporary visit before coming. I have some information about Du Yan. What surprised him was that Du Yan was not a simple district and county cadre as he imagined. Not only had he published several influential political articles in heavyweight party newspapers such as News Internal Reference, but he had also collaborated with Jinghua University Feng Ziming, a well-known leading figure in economics, has a close relationship. The two have even jointly written some economic papers. This is one of the reasons why Secretary Xue looks at Du Yanneng in a new light. A district or county cadre who can publish articles on the News Internal Reference? Secretary Xue was thinking about it in his mind while slowly flipping through the information in his hand. However, after reading only two pages, his eyebrows narrowed slightly and then he let go. "Director Du, can I take this thing you wrote back and read it carefully?" Secretary Xue asked. "Of course, I also hope that Xue Chu can give me some advice," Du Yan's attitude was very low at this time. Since people are willing to go straight to the court, Director Xiao Du should of course be a little respectful. "There are some immature things in it." , I hope Xue Chu can correct me, this is my homework too, it will be difficult if I can¡¯t pass it in.¡± Secretary Xue¡¯s heart moved when he heard this, he looked at Du Yan carefully, deliberately showing a puzzled look? "Oh, I wrote this at the request of a teacher. Xue Chu, you also know that you can't do this without studying," Du Yan said with a smile, "A teacher from Jinghua University asked me to write a paper about the last??A very popular article on corporate restructuring can be regarded as my further study thesis, but I am really not very good at this aspect, so I would like to take this opportunity to ask Xue Chu to read it. After all, you are beside Governor Gao and you are very interested in policy. The certainty is not comparable to that of cadres like us below. " "A teacher from Jinghua University? " Although Secretary Xue remained calm, his heart was already moved. Although he was not very anxious soon after he came to Gao Ke's side, according to the rules of domestic official circles, it is impossible for a secretary to stay with the leader for too long. He always There will be a day when he will be released. As someone close to Gao Ke, Secretary Xue is naturally much clearer about the country¡¯s policy development direction than the average person. The trend of increasingly treating economic construction as a measure of the political performance of leading cadres has gradually begun. Whether it is actual political achievements or expertise in economic theory construction, as long as it conforms to the trend in this area and relies on the background of the provincial governor¡¯s secretary, once it is released to the outside world in the future, it may not be possible to get it right in one step. Although Du Yan did not mention the name of the teacher from Jinghua University, Secretary Xue had already thought that that person was probably Feng Ziming, who had published an article with Du Yan before. Who? That is the hottest business figure in the country! If you can get involved with this person, the future benefits will be unimaginable. These thoughts just flashed through Secretary Xue's mind, and he looked at it. There was a slight change in Du Yan's eyes. "Director Du, this is a bit difficult for me," Secretary Xue took the initiative to raise the cup to Du Yan for the first time, "You are a rising star who is well-known in the domestic economic circle. , I'm not good at this aspect, it's okay to read and study it, but if you insist on asking me to tell you how ugly I am, you're really making things difficult for me. " "Xue Chu, you are being humble," Du Yan also raised his glass in reply, "I believe that with your ability as the provincial secretary, you must be able to do it with ease. If I want to pass the paper by then, I may have to rely on the light of your name. Woolen cloth. " Du Yan said, taking a sip of Yuqian Maojian from the cup, and then leaned forward slightly to press a small button on the side of the table. Soon, with the sound of footsteps, the door of the private room opened, and the young girl named Xiaoqi held the The tray came in, and a pair of crystal clear, simple-looking sapphire-colored wine bottles on the tray caught Secretary Xue's attention. "Xue Chu, that's all for today's gossip, let's try our Pingling local wine," Du said. Yan smiled slightly, "Our place in Pingling is small and we don't have many special cars. This Qingguo wine is just the same. Don't dislike it, Xue Chu." "Director Du is joking. Qingguo wine is not a local wine. Even Governor Gao said the wine tastes good." " Knowing that the matter was over, Secretary Xue calmly put the information into his bag. In fact, the real purpose of his visit to Du Yan this time was to spy on this young man in the name of Gao Ke. As for why Gao Ke was so interested in this small cadre in Pingling, Secretary Xue didn't know, but he never expected that this meeting with Du Yan not only completed the task arranged by Gao Ke, but also seemed to It might also have unexpected benefits for himself. When Secretary Xue praised Qingguo wine, Du Yan just smiled casually and didn't care. He played with the wine glass and looked at him casually, picking up the glass and taking a sip of the wine. Secretary Xue, then he saw a flash of surprise on Secretary Xue¡¯s face with satisfaction, ¡°Director Du, this wine? "Secretary Xue looked at Du Yan strangely. Although he had not been following Gao Ke for a long time, Secretary Xue was definitely a person who had seen the big world. Although he had already noticed the green fruit wine that was served and the banquet that was held to welcome Gao Ke during the day. The green fruit wine on the table was a little different, but when the wine was in his mouth, Secretary Xue unexpectedly realized that both the first taste and the lingering aroma were very different from the green fruit wine he drank during the day. ¡°Of course it¡¯s different. ," Du Yan leaned back and said to Secretary Xue with a smile on his face, "Although the one on the wine table during the day can be regarded as the top quality green fruit wine, it is still very different from this top quality green fruit wine. "Seeing Secretary Xue's surprised expression when he heard this, Du Yan picked up a wine bottle and shook it slightly: "The cost of this bottle alone is enough to sell for two bottles of green fruit wine. As for the wine in the bottle, The entire Daqing winery has seventeen lees, and one ton a month is considered a high yield. Xue Chu, tell me, can this kind of wine be served on the drinking table during the day? " Listening to Du Yan's words, the expression on Secretary Xue's face changed slightly. He knew what Du Yan meant. In this era, although officialdom has gradually become apparent, it is not as bad as in later generations. It has developed to the point of blatantness, especially senior officials like Gao Ke who have just taken office and are young and ambitious.p; As for the kind of Moutai that costs thousands per bottle, Wuliangye is everywhere on the table, and tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of public funds are spent on a meal and drink. This is still unheard of in this era, so if Pingling really takes this seriously during the day, Putting a batch of wine on the banquet to welcome Gao Ke would not only be impossible to win Gao Ke's favor, it might even be completely counterproductive. "Director Du, you are hurting me," Secretary Xue said with a wry smile on his face, "I guess a bottle of wine like this is more expensive than my monthly salary, right?" "Actually, it's not that expensive, eight hundred and eighty-eight a bottle. " Du Yan smiled, and then he saw Secretary Xue's expression pause slightly. "Wine is just for drinking. Although it tastes good, in fact, what really makes people feel noble is not the taste of the wine, but its taste. Price." Secretary Xue's expression changed, and he could tell there was something in Du Yan's words. "Xue Chu, it is our honor to have Governor Gao come down this time." Du Yan waved slightly to Xiao Qi who was standing next to him to leave. "As for the restructuring of the heavy machine factory, I have already explained it in the document just now. I would like to ask Xue Chu to hand this over to Governor Gao. However, from now on, apart from the factory restructuring, the remaining issue is the placement of workers in the heavy machinery factory. Speaking of the previous situations, the main issue is the situation. It¡¯s something related to this.¡± Secretary Xue nodded silently. He knew that Du Yan was right. He had also tried to find out the reason why state-owned enterprise workers in Taihua City had gathered to petition before, and the news he heard was exactly the same as Du Yan¡¯s. It was said that it was precisely because it involved the resettlement of a large number of employees after the restructuring that it caused such a big backlash. In fact, as the business environment gradually deteriorates, a large number of state-owned enterprises in Hexi Province are facing almost the same problems. It is precisely because of this that Gao Ke, who was the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in charge of economy and was very familiar with the economic situation of the province, Only after taking office as governor did he hope to break this increasingly unfavorable situation as soon as possible. "But Secretary Xue was somewhat doubtful about Du Yan's words. After all, although it is known that Du Yan has published some economic articles, it is still unknown whether pure theory can play a role in practice. So even though he knew that Du Yan was actually talking about what Gao Ke had been worried about, Secretary Xue was still cautious and did not answer the question immediately. After all, he met Du Yan this time just to explore the way in Gao Ke's name. What¡¯s more important is that Secretary Xue is not sure what his boss thinks about this young man! Seeing Secretary Xue¡¯s indifferent expression, Du Yan stopped talking. Many things he said now would not attract attention. Unless he stood at a certain height, it would probably be a waste of effort. This meal didn't last long. In fact, Secretary Xue had already eaten with Gao Ke before he came. Fortunately, it was not for eating in the first place, so when he saw that it was almost time, Secretary Xue found a reason to get up. Farewell. Du Yan and Secretary Xue walked out of the private room together. When they came to the corridor, the door of a private room next to them suddenly opened, and a short and fat figure suddenly stood in front of Du Yan! "Director Du, it's so rare to see you." A man with a Hong Kong and Taiwan accent stood in front of Du Yan and said loudly. Although the words seemed to be polite, there was a trace of obvious dissatisfaction on his fat face. It showed his thoughts unabashedly. Under the light, Du Yan looked closely, only to find that this person was the Hong Kong representative of the Hong Kong Development Company that proposed to exclusively acquire Liuliji's clay business a few days ago. His surname was He, and he had a relationship with a certain Hong Kong and Taiwan third-level film company. The actor has the same name, Charlie Ho. "Mr. He, are you eating here too?" Du Yan had a smile on his face. Although he noticed that Secretary Xue next to him seemed a little unhappy because he was blocked by others, he pretended not to notice. "Director Du, I can't eat here!" Charlie He said angrily, "It took me a long time to find out that you have been in the county recently and often come here to eat, so I am here." Waiting every day. " Charlie and Hong Kong people have the habit of speaking loudly, and because they are angry, the sound is naturally much louder when they stop in the corridor, and there are several private rooms at once. The door opened slightly, and someone peeked out to see what was going on. However, there was a private room door that closed immediately as soon as it opened. From that moment, Du Yan seemed to see a few vaguely familiar figures. "Mr. He, I think we should talk about it later. If you have anything to do, you can go to the new district office to talk to me. It's my private time now, and I have something else to do." Du Yan turned around and smiled at Secretary Xue, "Xue Chu, "I'm sorry." "It's nothing, Director Du," Secretary Xue nodded calmly. He could already tell that the person in the way seemed to be unhappy with Du Yan, but he didn't care about these things. "Then let me first"   "Director Du! Stop talking nonsense!" Charlie He's long southern tune echoed in the corridor, "You said you asked me to find you, but you are not the letter of intent I asked my little brother to send to your new district office. Have you been refusing to give me a reply? You mainlanders have repeatedly said that time is money and efficiency is life. It has been more than half a month and you have been holding me back. Our Hong Kong Development Company came to the mainland to help you develop. It was your government who invited you. We are here, do you think you don¡¯t want to do business with us, Hong Kong Development Bank?¡± Charlie He said angrily, and then looked impatiently at Secretary Xue, who had been talking to Du Yan and ignored him: "Sir, could you please let me talk to Director Du alone? I'm in a hurry." Secretary Xue looked at Charlie He with some astonishment. Since becoming Gao Ke's secretary, he really hasn't People said this to him. "Director Du, what's going on with this man?" Secretary Xue frowned and suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, "He said he was invited by the government. Which government is he from?" "Nothing, a Hong Kong businessman," Du Yan Deliberately answering in a nonchalant tone, "We want to underwrite the entire new district Liuliji's pottery clay, which is the embryonic clay specially used for making Pingling Suci. He wants to underwrite all of it." "The embryonic soil for making Suci?" Secretary Xue revealed. He had a look of surprise. The shock brought to him by the two bottles of top-quality green fruit wine worth 888 yuan was still swirling in his mind. When he thought of Du Yan's words, the cost of the packaging wine bottles alone was more than the cost of entertaining Gao Ke. The price of a pint of green fruit wine was high, and Secretary Xue looked at Charlie He with a strange look. Du Yan's words obviously angered Charlie He. He said in a arrogant tone: "Director Du, don't forget that it was your Taihua Secretary-General Liu who invited our Hong Kong Development Company to come over. You will never accept Secretary-General Liu's arrangements." "Will you admit it?" When Charlie He mentioned Secretary-General Liu, Secretary Xue's eyes narrowed slightly. He glanced at Du Yan beside him calmly, and then said lightly: "Director Du, how about you? Busy first, I'll leave by myself." Du Yan smiled at Secretary Xue, looked at Secretary Xue and looked at Charlie He again, and passed him by. The smile on Du Yan's face slowly disappeared. not see. "Mr. He, Secretary-General Liu has already told me about the Hong Kong Development Company today." "I say so," Charlie He said with a proud smile on his face. He was ruthless after hearing what Liu Zhi said during the day. Du Yan was taught a lesson before he dared to block Du Yan's way so aggressively. "Actually, everyone is doing it for the construction of the inland. Then do you see this contract?" "Well, you come to see me at the new district office tomorrow. I How about we arrange for someone to accompany you to Liuliji to check out the specific situation, and then we can discuss the details of the contract? " "No, the contract has been with you for half a month, can't you just sign it?" Charlie He was impatient. said. "I'm sorry, Mr. He. You should know that many places in the mainland have to go through procedures. There is no way to do it with such regulations." Du Yan shook his head helplessly on purpose. "It only takes an hour or two. When you come back, we will sign a contract with you." What do you think?" "You mainlanders are just unhappy. You only want to make quick money when doing business." Charlie He shook his head dissatisfied. "Then I will go there tomorrow. Don't talk too much." "Don't worry, Secretary-General Liu. Our new district will definitely implement the arranged work seriously. " Du Yan sent Charlie He out of Liyuju and watched him get into the car with a proud look on his face. Du Yan turned around and walked into the lobby with a smile. "Qianqian, tomorrow you take Professor Fang to Liuliji for inspection." Du Yan called Su Qian. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 76 Get ready for battle! Hu Weiping has been so busy these days that his feet have not touched the ground. Seeing the faint bloodshot eyes in her husband's eyes, Hu Weiping's wife couldn't help but feel distressed. "Mom and Dad, I'm leaving first. I have to get to the district early today." His son Hu Xuecong's voice came from the yard, and before he heard a response, Hu Xuecong had already left home in a hurry pushing his bicycle as soon as the courtyard door rang. "I have to leave quickly," Hu Weiping looked in the mirror and adjusted his Mao Zedong suit. "Today is the key." "I said you two are risking your lives, do you still need your bones?" Hu Weiping's wife complained, "You He said that he had a lot of leisure when he was the principal of the town middle school, but now he is the director of the district committee office. What good is it to be away from home all day long? " Hu Weiping just smiled at his wife's complaints. He knew that there were some things that he could not say. Qing, not to mention there is no way to talk about it. "By the way, someone proposed marriage to our Xuecong." Hu Weiping's wife remembered a top priority. For her, this kind of thing is the most important. As for her husband and son, who are busy day and night these days, She said she wanted to prepare for the big leaders who would come to inspect today. She didn't care at all. "She is still a little girl in the county. Speaking of which, Xue Cong is also capable and can impress the little girls in the county." Got it." Looking at his wife's proud face, Hu Weiping had no time to listen to her nagging anymore. After sending Du Yan back to the county party committee compound yesterday, Hu Weiping immediately rushed back to the new district to arrange the final preparations. I didn't get home until after two o'clock in the middle of the night. He only slept for a few hours, and before seven o'clock in the morning, he was already packed and ready to go to the district committee office. As he said, today is a critical moment! Gao Ke will inspect the new area today! The street looked unusually clean, even too clean. It was impossible to imagine that this was a rural town street. When he walked on the street and looked at the villagers who were cautious, as if they were afraid of stepping on something if they took a wrong step, Hu Weiping couldn't help but smile slightly. Shaking his head, Hu Weiping frowned even more when he saw several security guards with red bands on their arms patrolling back and forth from a distance. From time to time, they asked each household on the street to put this away and move away. Then, he saw Peng Jun, who was also walking around on patrol at the street corner. Today, Peng Jun put on a rare black suit. Although the leather shoes under his feet looked a little old-fashioned, they were polished clean. Seeing Hu Weiping from afar, Peng Jun said hello. "Weiping, today is a normal day, so don't let anything go wrong." Peng Jun wanted to wipe the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves out of habit, but he remembered that it was a new one and put it down again, "How are you doing? "Don't worry, Mayor Peng, everything is basically settled." Hu Weiping smiled at Peng Jun. Since the relationship with Du Yan has changed, Peng Jun's attitude towards the people around Du Yan has also changed. Especially Hu Weiping, Peng Jun knew very well how important Hu Weiping was in Du Yan's mind, and Hu Weiping was not only a town committee member, but also one of the new district committee members. His vote was very important, so Peng Jun was even more polite to Hu Weiping. few. Shi Changgeng was sent to the training class by Du Yan in the name of rectifying the atmosphere in the district. Although he still went to work every day, Shi Changgeng seemed to have realized that arm wrestling with Du Yan, who was in the limelight, was not worth the gain, so no matter what No matter what he was thinking, Shi Changgeng had been quite quiet recently. Hu Weiping actually understood Peng Jun's thoughts very well. He had been confronting Du Yan earlier, but later found that the momentum was not right and immediately changed the gun. Du Yan became the director of the new district, Shi Changgeng was still the secretary of Daqing Township, and Peng Jun got his wish and became the mayor. This was not bad at first, but people are always hard to be satisfied. Now seeing that Shi Changgeng's position seems a bit unstable, Peng Jun Jun's originally calm heart became active again. It¡¯s just that this time he wanted to use Du Yan¡¯s big tree to pull Shi Changgeng down. Hu Weiping actually doesn't care about these intrigues in the town. After years of hard work, Hu Weiping has become very calm. After following Du Yan for a while, his vision has become much broader. Just as Du Yan sometimes heard news that cadres in several towns were fighting each other, but never took it to heart, in Hu Weiping's eyes, the position of Daqing Township Party Committee Secretary is really not that attractive. . When he arrived at the district committee office, Hu Weiping realized that he had arrived not too early. Apart from his son Hu Xuecong, many people had already come. In addition to the secretaries and mayors of the other two towns who came early at unknown times, even the recent Shi Changgeng, who had made Du Yan cool for a while, arrived early. But what caught Hu Weiping's attention was that although Shi Changgeng looked cold, there was a hint of excitement between his brows, as if he had some kind of uncontrollable joy, which was very different from his recent situation.?Not quite. It¡¯s just that although this attracted Hu Weiping¡¯s attention, because there were still too many things in front of him, Hu Weiping didn¡¯t take it too seriously even though he was confused. Peng Jun doesn't like Shi Changgeng anymore. The conflict between the two people has already become public, and the straight-forward atmosphere of grassroots struggle also makes Peng Jun impatient to engage in the kind of smile on the face and stumble on the bottom. It was his trick, so he glanced at Shi Changgeng and left. But Shi Changgeng didn't seem to want to let Peng Jun go. He smiled at Peng Jun and walked over: "Old Peng, you have been very busy in the past few days." Seeing that Shi Changgeng was actually rushing to stir up trouble, Although Peng Jun was a little surprised, he didn't want to show weakness and immediately returned the favor: "I don't have Secretary Shi free. The training class is going well. I heard that you guys just drink and chat all day long. Life is comfortable." What surprised Peng Jun was that Shi Changgeng was not moved at all by such an obvious sarcasm. He glanced at Peng Jun with a slight contempt and said, "Yeah, My little life is so comfortable, I don¡¯t even want to come back.¡± Then, Shi Changgeng put his hands behind his back and hummed, ¡°I am watching the mountain view from the tower¡± and walked away. Looking at Shi Changgeng¡¯s back, Peng Jun felt a little guilty. Peng Jun knew very well that Du Yan suppressed Hong Kong Development Company's letter of intent to purchase clay. Previously, it was because Liu Zhi, the secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, was behind Hong Kong Development. Peng Jun was very ambiguous on this matter and didn't think too much about it. Blending, but no one expected that everything would be calm after Du Yan suppressed the letter of intent. However, Shi Changgeng, who originally wanted to use Liu Zhi's momentum to counterattack, was sent to the training class by Du Yan not long after with a group of people who were streamlined. The district cadres who came down went to drink and chat. But now seeing Shi Changgeng's triumphant look, Peng Jun's heart was beating. He thought that Shi Changgeng was from Guo Songlin's side after all, and what kind of relationship did he have with Liu Zhi? Not sure, Peng Jun felt that he had been a little irritable before. After all, it was a bit reckless to go against Shi Changgeng before fully seeing the situation. Peng Jun took a step forward, trying to find something to say to Shi Changgeng to calm down the atmosphere just now. At this moment, a Santana drove into the yard, and Peng Jun was stunned when he saw Charlie He getting out of the car. Peng Jun knew that Charlie He had been chasing Du Yan to sign the letter of intent, but he did not expect that Charlie He would come to interfere today. When he thought that Governor Gao might come to inspect at any time, if he or someone was asked When the provincial leaders saw the entangled Charlie He, Peng Jun's body, which was already a little hot in a full suit, suddenly became soaked with cold sweat in the vest underneath! "Mr. He, are you here for business?" Peng Jun rarely put on airs, because Charlie He had always been close to Shi Changgeng in the past, so he didn't have a good impression of Peng Jun, a Hong Kong man. "Mayor Peng," Charlie He walked over with his big belly in a unique Cantonese accent, "It was your Director Du who invited me here today. You took too long to get the letter of intent, so it's time to get it done." Peng Jun His heart skipped a beat again. Although he didn't know why Du Yan suddenly agreed to the underwriting contract that had been stuck with Hong Kong Development Company, Peng Jun began to murmur in his heart when he thought of Shi Changgeng's triumphant look just now. "Mr. He, the leaders from the province are going to make an important inspection today. Do you think this will work? You can go to Xiaoliyu Residence to have a rest first, and when the leaders come back to inspect, I will ask someone to go over there to invite you?" Peng Jun His tone became more respectful. At the same time, he couldn't help thinking that the arm still couldn't twist the thigh. Director Xiao Du seemed to be unable to withstand it. ¡°No need, Director Du asked your new district to send someone to accompany me to Liuliji to have a look, and then sign the contract.¡± Charlie He waved his hand impatiently, ¡°It¡¯s troublesome for you to do things in the mainland, why don¡¯t you just sign the contract? Okay." Speaking of which, Charlie He really looks down on these local cadres from the mainland. If it weren't for some reasons that cannot be tolerated by outsiders, he would rather die than suffer in such a poor place. "If that's the case, then it's okay. I'll arrange for someone to accompany you to Liuliji right away." Peng Jun, who was even more sure that Du Yan couldn't stand up to Liu Zhi, immediately made a decision in his heart. Although he had indeed contradicted Shi Changgeng verbally just now, But in the final analysis, the matter still has to fall on Mr. He. I believe that as long as this matter is handled well, even if Shi Changgeng is still somewhat dissatisfied with himself, it will always be much better, not to mention if it can be done through Mr. He and Mr. He. If Secretary-General Liu of the Municipal Party Committee takes the bait, that would be even better. Peng Jun, who was looking around while thinking, happened to see Hu Xuecong walking over in a hurry. "Xiao Hu, come here." Peng Jun greeted, although he knew that Hu Xuecong was a popular person under Du Yan, in such a situation where he couldIt was not good to arrange to go out when the boss was in front of him, but he didn't care about anything. As long as he could serve Mr. He well, that would be better than anything else. "Xiao Hu, please accompany Mr. He to Liuliji to have a look." Seeing Hu Xuecong's relaxed face sinking slightly, Peng Jun, who himself felt that what he was doing was a bit unethical, continued, "Don't forget to come back at noon. In the afternoon The provincial leaders still need to inspect the people below, and they won't be able to do without you then. "Comrade Hu, let's hurry up. Everyone is pressed for time," Charlie He urged impatiently. Hu Xuecong hesitated for a moment and said to Peng Jun: "Mayor Peng, I still have some things I have on hand and hand them over to someone else. I'll come back later." Peng Jun nodded. He said that he only stopped him when he saw Hu Xuecong temporarily. In fact, now He already regretted it somewhat. When he thought that Hu Weiping must have thoughts after hearing this, Peng Jun wanted to change his mind. However, Hu Xuecong had already turned around and left, and Peng Jun couldn't stop him anymore. After Hu Weiping, who was patrolling the comprehensive service hall, heard what Hu Xuecong said to him, he saw the anger on his son's face, but he just reminded him calmly, "Be careful on the road." He didn't say anything more, but after his son left, he looked across the hall. Looking out the window at Peng Jun who was standing in the yard talking to Charlie He, Hu Weiping shook his head slightly. "Lao Peng, after all, is not a successful person." Hu Weiping made a final decision for Peng Jun in his heart. The new district is the last stop of Gao Ke¡¯s trip to Taihua. Due to various reasons, Cui Jianbin, Ren Shuqiang, Li Peizheng and Guo Songlin all have somewhat complicated feelings about this new district inspection. Although the Taihua cadres were really happy that Gao Ke attached great importance to Taihua, the paradox was that while they were happy, they did not want Gao Ke to stretch his hand too long. Both Cui Jiabin and Ren Shuqiang have some kind of monopoly on the new district, just like watching a money tree that can bring benefits to themselves be targeted by others. They know very well that once Gao Ke really wants to directly intervene in the new district, then this money tree It no longer belongs to them. You can get some clues from Chu Yilan's arrival. In fact, in just two days, rumors have spread that Chu Yilan may succeed Guo Songlin as Pingling County Magistrate. And judging from Gao Ke's attitude towards Cui Jianbin and Ren Shuqiang in the past few days, there are even more speculations. Maybe Guo Songlin, who has always been close to Ren Shuqiang, might want to make a move. These kinds of rumors have made many people talk about it but they are confused. However, there is another rumor that many people agree on. That is, if Gao Ke really has arrangements for the new district, Du Yan, the director of the new district, will either have a meteoric rise, or he may have a relationship with his predecessor. It¡¯s the same time as having to move. So, when sitting on the bus heading to the new district, many people have their own concerns. There was originally a county-level road from Pingling County to the new district. It was built with the help of the legacy of the old county magistrate who was originally from Daqing. However, it fell into disrepair over the years. With the development of the new district in the past two years, this third-level road has The pressure of transportation is beginning to be unbearable. When Du Yan was first transferred to Daqing Township, he proposed to Li Peizheng to build a new grade highway. However, due to various things later, the idea was postponed again and again, although it needed to be repaired. It is indeed more effective than before, but as the new district develops faster and faster, this road has become obviously overwhelmed. Although the driver is an experienced master, the China Travel sedan can't help but be a little bumpy on the road. Looking at the sparse villagers planting rice in the entire farmland on both sides of the road outside, Gao Ke's face showed a little confusion. A thoughtful look. The China Travel Service vehicle that Gao Ke was sitting in was modified. After the two rows of seats near the door were removed, a small table fixed on the floor was placed in the free space. Gao Ke separated the small table from the seats in the back row of the car. The others were sitting opposite each other, so seeing him like this, the two cadres accompanying the inspection who were chatting quietly in the car also stopped. Except for the sound of the engine, the car seemed very quiet for a while. Gao Ke, who looked out the window for a while, looked away. After asking how far it was, he took out a piece of information from his purse on the table and started reading. That was exactly the material that Du Yan gave to Secretary Xue the night before. Looking at the clearly listed suggestions, Gao Ke's eyebrows were sometimes condensed and sometimes dispersed. Sometimes he would stop and pick up a pen to make a circle on it. Fan. Secretary Xue, who was sitting not far away, had been paying attention to Gao Ke's movements. He knew very well that after handing this material to Gao Ke last night, Gao Ke rarely rested on time according to his usual schedule. It was almost midnight before I turned off the lights and went to bed at the urging of Secretary Xue. This surprised Secretary Xue, because he was familiar with Gao Ke¡¯s living habits and knew that unless it was a very important job or document, Gao Ke rarelyRest late. "Some Views and Prospects on the Restructuring Steps of State-owned Enterprises", Gao Ke looked at the materials in his hand carefully. Sometimes his fingers would stop on a certain part of the material for a while, and sometimes he would turn back and do some work with the previous parts. There are some comparisons, and more often than not, he will take off his eyes after reading a paragraph, close his eyes and think for a while. Gao Ke read this material for the second time. Although he slept late the night before, he still couldn't read it in detail in some places. While he was in the car, he took out the material again and read it carefully again. stand up. Secretary Xue was somewhat jealous of Du Yan. It was obvious that Gao Ke was very interested in what this young man handed over. In other words, he was also very interested in this young man. Before sending this material to Gao Ke, Secretary Xue briefly read the contents, but after reading it, he had the impression that the person who wrote this material was undoubtedly a daring lunatic. It can be said that Secretary Xue was not only fresh in his memory but also deeply impressed by several of the suggestions, especially regarding the Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory as an example, which proposed splitting the entire heavy machinery factory into two and establishing "Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory Co., Ltd." Co., Ltd." and "Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory Workers' Collective Co., Ltd." made him not only speechless after reading it, but also expressed his disapproval of Du Yan's previous conflict with the relevant leaders of the Taihua Municipal Committee over the restructuring of the heavy machine factory. Rumors of disagreements created a great deal of suspicion. Because if Secretary Xue understands this material based on his understanding of it, the suggestions contained in it are not only more radical than the heavy machinery factory restructuring plan proposed by Taihua before, but in some places, they are simply completely split, directly All the assets of the original heavy machinery factory, including equipment and production raw materials, were completely stripped out without reservation! This is even more direct and more frightening than selling at a low price! "What a big hand, what a courage." Gao Ke was also thinking about this at this time. The problem of the heavy machinery factory is a microcosm of the problems faced by large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in Hexi Province today, and in the next few years, it can Whether this huge problem can be solved and the large state-owned enterprises in Hexi Province can get out of trouble will become the benchmark for measuring whether Gao Ke can aspire to be the provincial party secretary in the next few years! For the position of Secretary of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee, Gao Ke knew that Executive Vice Governor Yang Weiquan was bound to win, and the power that the Yang family had cultivated in the mainland provinces over the years was bound to help Yang Weiquan ascend to the position of Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Because of this, Gao Ke did not think it was necessary to fight to the death with Yang Weiquan in Hexi. After all, although Gao Ke was already the governor, compared with Yang Weiquan, a descendant of a veteran with a well-established background. , not only does it not have any advantage, but if the people behind Yang Weiquan are really provoked to intervene directly, it will be a big trouble for Gao Ke. After all, Chu Ping is the leader, and Gao Ke cannot be careless. Looking at the materials in his hand, Gao Ke couldn't help but think of Qiao Luowei again. Qiao Luowei's intention was obvious. The Song family was interested in the mature heavy industry system in the mainland, and the first step was undoubtedly to start from Hexi. At this time, this young man named Du Yan threw out such a Materials, if there is no relationship between them, Gao Ke will never believe it. It seemed that this was not the case in the end. Gao Ke secretly thought that he was almost certain that Du Yan's previous opposition to the restructuring of the Heavy Machinery Factory was not so much out of a party member's principles or sense of justice, but rather purely out of a party member's principles or sense of justice. It is to serve as the vanguard of the Song family's struggle for profits in Taihua and even Hexi. And the opponent he faced was Zhang Wenliang, who had the backing of the Minister of Machinery Industry Sui Jianchao. However, even though he had already determined this, Gao Ke still couldn't help but feel frightened by the suggestion material thrown out by Du Yan, but at the same time, he was also moved. Especially when he remembered that Secretary Xue had mentioned to him the night before that Du Yan seemed to intend to use this material as an economic paper and publish it through a famous domestic economist, Gao Ke couldn't help but secretly think in his heart. Evaluate what consequences this will have and what it will bring to you. When private houses appeared in the distance in front of the convoy, Santana, who had always been driving in front, accelerated and distanced herself from the convoy. When passing several trucks full of cargo boxes parked on the roadside, she sat in the first truck with her. Chen Siyou in the cab of the truck looked at each other, and Du Yan smiled softly. No matter what Gao Ke's intentions were when he came to the new district, Du Yan couldn't let go of this golden opportunity since he came. While it was important for Governor Gao to see the rapid development of the new district, it was also not necessary to properly show the difficulties faced by the new district. It's not a trick that the leaders take seriously. At least Du Yan has made plans to let Gao Ke experience the traffic difficulties in the new area for himself. Results?, when passing those trucks on the roadside, although the trucks had already pulled over as planned in advance, the convoy was still a lot slower due to the narrow road conditions and poor road conditions. Looking at the flushed Liu Laofang who was sitting in the police car behind him from the car window, Du Yan just curled his lips, but still drove the car forward unhurriedly. Cui Jianbin, who was sitting in a car with Gao Ke, glanced at Li Peizheng next to him with a gloomy face. Although he didn't know that this was a little trick played by Du Yan, he already scolded Du Yan bloody in his heart. "What happened? Why didn't the new district clear the road in advance?" Cui Jianbin asked Li Peizheng in a low voice, "What if there is a problem with the convoy on such a narrow road?" "Secretary Cui, I will go down and solve it right away." Li Peizheng also said the same Feeling annoyed, and because he was more familiar with Du Yan, he had even vaguely guessed that this might be Du Yan's fault. "Forget it, as long as you can get there." Gao Ke, who was looking at the materials, looked up and looked out the car window and said lightly, then lowered his head and continued to read the materials. Li Peizheng looked at Cui Jianbin with some embarrassment. Seeing Cui Jianbin giving him a sign of giving up, he had to carefully sit back in his seat at the back. However, when he saw through the car window, Chen Jianbin was standing next to a truck outside. At four o'clock, Li Peizheng was stunned for a moment, and then a surge of anger rose in his heart. Du Yan¡¯s Santana guided the convoy slowly through the town. Looking at the unusually clean streets, Gao Ke glanced at Cui Jianbin next to him calmly. Feeling Gao Ke¡¯s gaze, Cui Jianbin could only smile bitterly in his heart. Although everyone knew that this superficial approach was too obvious, if he really didn¡¯t do it, the leader might have another idea. ¡°At least one label of not paying attention to leadership is enough to ruin the future of many people. When he was still far away, Du Yan saw the crowd on the street and Shi Changgeng standing at the front. Du Yan estimated that the idea of ??going out to meet them from afar should be his. This actually gave Du Yan another perspective on Shi Changgeng. Although Secretary Shi was not very good at his job, he was self-taught when it came to greeting and flattering the leader, and he was very knowledgeable all the way. What disappoints Shi Changgeng is that, except for Du Yan's Santana that stopped in front of the crowd, with a short siren sound, the police car that Liu Laofei was riding in did not stop along the intersection and walked along the intersection in the direction of the district committee office. As he drove away, the entire convoy behind him passed by the welcoming crowd and drove away. Shi Changgeng, who was still taking the lead in applauding, looked at the cars passing by in astonishment. When he saw Du Yan waving to him through the dropped car window, Shi Changgeng's face turned purple. "Lao Shi, hurry up and take the team back. Governor Gao can't wait." Du Yan said a word and then motioned the driver to drive. When he saw Shi Changgeng in the rearview mirror, he was immediately heard by the crowd and turned around. When he was submerged, Du Yan let out a sneer. Shi Changgeng almost ran into the district committee yard, but when he managed to get through the crowd, all he saw from a distance was the back of Gao Ke who was surrounded by a group of leaders, large and small, walking into the complex. Listening to Du Yan's introduction to the functions of the comprehensive office building in the new district, Gao Ke became somewhat curious. He did not expect that this young man had some strange things in his mind. At least this way of concentrating various administrative approval agencies in one place. It made him feel quite novel, "To apply for a license, there are a total of twenty-two stamps. In addition to the stamps required by the relevant departments in the county, there are fourteen stamps in the new district alone," Du Yan pointed. A row of glass window-like registration gates in the lobby of the complex building explains, "Now here, you can apply for registration as long as you complete the procedures once, and because the office is open to the public in the lobby, it effectively prevents some cadres from deliberately making things difficult because of their low quality. , and even took the opportunity to take advantage of the unhealthy tendencies. " "This method is not bad. It is very novel. It saves time and corrects the trend. It does two things with one stone." Gao Ke looked at the windows with various department nameplates. Nodding, although this method seems to be nothing, but when he thought about it, no one had thought of it before. Gao Ke felt that this young man really had a lot of ideas. "It is indeed a new district, with new things emerging in an endless stream." "There is no way to do this. , Governor," Du Yan deliberately showed a helpless smile, "The new district is developing rapidly, and many out-of-town customers come to work here. If we can't think of a way to save time, we have to take care of it. Secretary Li and County Magistrate Guo are no less Criticize us, and sometimes even try to find ways to wipe our butts. " "Yeah, no one has experience with new things. If you are a leading cadre and don't think of a way yourself, you will only be overwhelmed by difficulties. In this regard, I am average. The Lingxian County Party Committee has done a good job. It dares to think, dare to do, and has the courage to practice. "Gao Ke's voice is not loud, but his words are very effective, and people can't help but feel a little envious."??Li Peizheng and Guo Songlin stood slightly behind and looked at each other. Seeing Gao Ke looking at him, Li Peizheng immediately took a step forward. He was very excited. Although he knew that Du Yan's words were more of an official clich¨¦, he thought of the vague relationship between himself and Du Yan some time ago. Li Peizheng couldn't help but feel happy that Du Yan could speak for him in front of Gao Ke at this time. While Li Peizheng first said a few words of humility, and then also thanked the Taihua Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government for their correct leadership and instructions, Gao Ke looked at Du Yan and thought about the irresistible restructuring materials he proposed. . In fact, Gao Ke had lost interest in the new district at this time. The only thing that really aroused his interest was Du Yan's restructuring report that might be related to how he responded to Qiao Luowei's proposal. "Xiao Du, I heard that you have written some articles on economics before," Gao Ke asked, turning to look at Secretary Xue beside him, "Really?" "Yes, Governor, Director Du used to be in the News Internal Reference He has published some articles on domestic economic development." Secretary Xue nodded in response, understanding Gao Ke's intention. This question and answer made the people next to them look surprised. They never expected that Gao Ke would be so familiar with the situation of a district and county cadre. Especially Zhang Wenliang, who was standing behind him, was even more shocked when he heard this. . "Oh, that's good," Gao Ke looked around. "Young people should be a little courageous. Speaking of which, I would like to hear your thoughts on the construction of the new district. You can talk to me sometime when you go back." As soon as Ke's words came out, people looked at Du Yan with ambiguous eyes. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the way? Du Yan could feel the complicated expressions in people's eyes at this time, especially some people. In addition to jealousy, there should be unspeakable hatred in those expressions. But no one knew that, while responding to Gao Ke's instructions, Du Yan habitually reminded himself in his heart: "Get ready to fight!" Volume 4, "Volume 3, Official Sailing" Chapter 77, Charlie He is in trouble No one thought that Gao Ke's trip to Pingling would actually become Du Yan's personal show. From the heavy machinery factory to the new district, Du Yan's several outstanding achievements gradually turned envy into jealousy. Originally, people's hearts were like this. You can get the benefits but you cannot monopolize them. After all, the benefits are only so small, and you have taken them all from others. what to do? Gao Ke only has one morning to inspect the new area. In the afternoon, he will return directly to Taihua, take a short rest, and discuss with local party and government leaders before returning to the provincial capital Tongyang. This time is already very urgent. Seeing Du Yan being so shameless and risking his life for performance and earning a familiar face, it was impossible not to hate him. Not to mention people like Shi Changgeng in the new district, even some people in Pingling and Taihua are dissatisfied with Du Yan's behavior of eating alone. "We admit that you, Director Xiao Du, have the ability, but don't be too reluctant to give others opportunities, right? Everyone is here to mess around, so you can't eat it all by yourself, right? Aren't you afraid of bursting your belly?" ¡°At least that¡¯s what Taihua Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General Liu Zhi thinks. From the moment Liu Zhi learned that Du Yan deliberately suppressed He Charlie's contract, the little solicitation he had for Du Yan had faded away, not to mention that for two consecutive weeks, even though he had asked someone to give him to the new district He said hello, but Du Yan actually pretended to be deaf and ignored him, and even found an opportunity to send Shi Changgeng to the training class to drink tea, chat and eat melon seeds. This made Liu Zhi, who had always been calm, very annoyed. Of course, Liu Zhi would not directly know a small town cadre like Xiang Shi Changgeng, but it was Liu Zhi who tried his best to lure the Hong Kong Development Company to Taihua. , the key point is that although the Hong Kong Development Company itself is very ordinary, there is a line behind them that Liu Zhi has always wanted to connect with. It is because of this that Liu Zhi has always been concerned about this matter. But now Du Yan blocked Hong Kong Development's project in the new area with just one sentence. What's more, what makes Liu Zhi angry is that Du Yan didn't say no, but just kept delaying it. This made Liu Zhi think that he was so Do it, it¡¯s purely for yourself! It's just that Liu Zhi really couldn't figure out why Du Yan had trouble with him. Speaking of which, although he and Du Yan didn't have much interaction, there had never been any conflicts. Even when Du Yan came back, he even revealed The intention is to recruit, but why is this little bastard so focused on being in trouble with him? Liu Zhi, who couldn't figure it out, just gave it up. Just then, a staff member walked up to him and whispered that someone was looking for him outside. Liu Zhi didn't want to see Du Yan's proud look now, so he simply came out of the complex and prepared. Take a breath. But as soon as Liu Zhi walked out of the lobby of the complex, he heard a quarrel coming from the yard outside. Liu Zhi¡¯s face immediately darkened. He glared hard at the uneasy-looking staff member next to him, and then walked forward quickly. "What are you doing blocking here? I have a problem and I want to complain to the highest official in charge here!" A familiar voice made Liu Zhi startled. When he saw Charlie He, the look on Liu Zhi's face His expression became even worse. "Secretary-General Liu, it's great that you are here," Charlie He immediately raised his voice and shouted when he saw Liu Zhi walking over. Then he said "hum" to a staff member standing in front of him, "I'll do it." The mainland is helping you with your development and construction. I will complain about your attitude." "Mr. He, what happened?" Liu Zhi had a smile on his face, but he was actually saying this to this arrogant Hong Kong person. He couldn't help but be annoyed. It was only when he thought about the line behind this person that he had been thinking about that he could endure it. "Now the provincial leaders are inspecting inside. If you have any questions, can you wait a moment?" "Secretary-General Liu, Mainland China Do all the cadres like to talk big?" Seeing that the staff immediately stepped aside after seeing Liu Zhi, and showed uneasiness at the same time, Charlie He had an arrogant look on his face, because he knew that Secretary-General Liu I am seeking for myself. "I have been here for a long time, and I have delayed a lot of business. But your officials are either evasive or causing problems. How can I do business with you? How can I treat you?" "Don't worry about this new district?" "Mr. He, don't worry. The new district has just been established, and many places have not yet been launched. It is inevitable that there will be some flaws in some places," Liu Zhi said lightly, because Gao Ke was inside, and Liu Zhi didn't want to let him go. Things got big. "Is it because the reception in the new district is not good? If this happens, I will severely criticize them." Listening to Liu Zhi's words, several new district cadres standing not far away couldn't help but change their faces. In the early 1990s, with the policy proposed by the central government to shelve disputes and tilt the development direction towards economic construction, economic indicators have become increasingly important as an important criterion for measuring the performance of cadres. It is precisely because of this that Gao Ke attaches great importance to it as soon as he takes office. Province?The current situation of large-scale state-owned enterprises and industries, and the following regions, counties and cities have suddenly blown up a whirlwind with economic indicators as the only goal. In this way, how much foreign capital can be introduced and how many investment and factory building projects can be approved have become key. Especially at this time, due to blind trust or even blind worship of foreign capital, there is a place where a certain person in the province The main leaders put aside their normal work to receive a Taiwanese businessman in a high-profile manner. However, this so-called Taiwanese businessman was actually just a street vendor setting up a barbecue stall on the other side of the river. It was a joke. "Secretary-General Liu, you know that I am very sincere in investing and doing business in your new district this time, but your Director Du here seems to have a prejudice against me." Charlie He said in a long voice , he is not stupid, on the contrary, years of slickness in the business world have made him see that Secretary-General Liu has some objections to Director Du. It is precisely because of this that he deliberately treated Du Yan with such arrogance the day before. He spoke in a tone of voice, because his experience in doing business in the mainland for several years told him that the more airs you put on, the more these mainland bumpkins will treat you like a boss, and because of Liu Zhi's relationship, the more arrogant you will be. Director Du is more likely to accommodate himself because he is afraid of offending Secretary-General Liu. Only this time, Charlie He found out that Director Du was so dishonest, which made him unable to bear it and went to Liu Zhi directly. He believed that as long as Liu Zhi knew what he, the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, would do to a little person. The director of the new district doesn't care about anything at all, so he doesn't have to worry about the rest. "Secretary-General Liu, my procedures are all complete, and I have registered in accordance with the regulations of your new district, but Director Du has been pressing my contract and refused to sign it. Today he finally agreed to let me go to Liuliji." I wanted to take a detailed look first and come back to discuss the contract, but when I went over to see, someone had already arrived over there. Secretary-General Liu, Director Du, weren't you talking nonsense about me? He simply didn't have the sincerity to cooperate with us. " Although he knew that Charlie He was provoking, Liu Zhi still felt angry in his heart. Yesterday, he hit Du Yan hard by talking about the heavy machine factory. He originally thought that Xiao Du would be smarter, so he Let Charlie He go to Du Yan again. When Liu Zhixiang came, Du Yan would definitely listen and get things done, but who knew that Du Yan would actually play such a trick. "Mr. He, can you guarantee that your procedures are complete?" Liu Zhi asked. "It must be so. I have been doing business in the mainland for a long time and I know what procedures are required." Hearing Liu Zhi's question, Charlie He immediately understood what he meant. He deliberately responded loudly, "But you, Director Du, I just suppressed my letter of intent, and now I am arranging other people to compete for business with the project that I have marked long ago. Secretary-General Liu, if there is no sincerity in the new district of Pingling, I can go to other places to do business. Doesn¡¯t it all support inland construction? Well?" "Mr. He, calm down, don't worry," Liu Zhi deliberately lowered his voice and said, "The provincial leaders are inspecting inside now, and it will have a bad impact if it makes a fuss." "That's better, Secretary-General Liu, if you can't control it. Please ask your higher chief executive to take care of this matter. If it doesn't work, I will leave Taihua and Hexi!" After hearing Liu Zhi's suggestion, Charlie He simply shouted at the top of his voice, "I am here to support the construction of the mainland. This kind of secret operation in Pingling New District is illegal. If necessary, I will appeal to a higher-level department and to the capital! " Listening to Charlie He yelling, Liu Zhi immediately kept whispering. Comforting, just saying that he couldn't help but secretly said: Xiao Du, Xiao Du, since you are not on the right path, then don't blame me. Charlie He already had a loud voice, and because all the provincial leaders were there, the courtyard was unusually quiet. As a result, his shouts immediately spread into the lobby of the comprehensive office building. "I'm going to appeal. I'm going to sue your new district. You are operating behind the scenes and are bureaucrats!" Waves of shouts interrupted Gao Ke's instructions, although the term "undercover operations" had not yet emerged in mainland China at this time. , not many people understand its meaning, but everyone understands the words "bureaucracy". Gao Ke couldn't help but stop, and Secretary-General Duan of the Provincial Government, who was originally standing at the front of the circle, had walked through the crowd of people who were looking at the door with a heavy face, and walked quickly towards the door. Then Secretary Xue, who was standing behind Gao Ke, quietly stepped away and walked through the crowd towards the door. "What's going on?" Although Secretary-General Duan's tone was relatively calm, the anger flashing in his eyes was undisguised. In a sense, Liu Zhi's situation was similar, no matter what big thing happened. If Xiaoqing, the secretary-general, can't find a way to suppress it, then it will be a dereliction of duty on his part. Especially at this time, if something unexpected happens again, it might turn into a political incident, and that won't be possible for him. Well, it¡¯s a big hurdle. "Secretary-General, why have I alarmed you?" Liu Zhi seemed to be trying to persuade him.He forced a smile on his face but couldn't. It looked like he was embarrassed because he didn't suppress the matter. "We are all going to appeal to the capital. Can you not hear me?" Secretary-General Duan replied with a bad expression. Although he stopped after taking a look at him, he looked like a reluctant Charlie He. , and then asked Liu Zhi, "What happened, don't you know the impact?" "Secretary-General, this is Mr. Charlie He who came to our Hexi from Hong Kong to invest and support the construction of the mainland." Liu Zhi introduced, overseas businessmen of this era Regardless of what's going on inside, as long as investment is made, it is often labeled as supporting construction by overseas wanderers. This not only serves as a protective umbrella for these businessmen, but also serves as a basis for local governments that are eager to attract foreign investment and do not hesitate to provide these foreign businessmen with various benefits in order to attract funds. An excuse for preferential super-national treatment. "Hello Mr. He, we admire your patriotic enthusiasm." After hearing the mutual introduction, Secretary-General Duan shook hands with Charlie He, and the expressions on their faces softened a lot. "Is there any misunderstanding? Mr. He Are you encountering difficulties? " "Oh, Secretary General," Charlie He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead and shook his head, "It's really difficult for you to do things in the mainland. I've already sent you a letter of intent for more than half a year. It¡¯s been months, and your Director Du has been trying hard to approve it for me. Today he finally agreed that I could go and see the project site. When I went over, I found out that Director Du had already given me the bid for the project I had bid for in private. Everyone over there is watching the scene. Secretary-General Duan, this is a typical breach of contract and there is no credit. If this continues, how can we overseas patriots invest with confidence and support the construction of our hometown? " Listening to Charlie He's long complaints, Secretary-General Duan's eyebrows gradually knitted together. He didn't expect that Gao Ke had just named and praised Du Yan inside, and that such a thing would happen outside. It was such a coincidence. But if it is said that this was deliberately arranged by someone, there is no clue. Secretary-General Duan didn't care at all whether this matter would have an impact on Du Yan, but he couldn't help but worry about how much this matter might damage Gao Ke's prestige. After all, Gao Ke had just praised Du Yan in front of everyone, and he was so worried. If something like this happened, it would be a shame. "Let's do this, Lao Liu, please arrange a place for Mr. He to take a rest first. The leader is giving important instructions right now so it's inconvenient to disturb him. I'll ask the relevant cadres from the new district to come over and ask questions later," Secretary-General Duan smiled at Charlie He. "Mr. He, please rest assured that we sincerely welcome overseas patriots who support the construction of the motherland. Any problems that may arise in the work of our cadres will be dealt with seriously after investigation. We will also deal with the difficulties you encounter." We will do our best to solve it." Looking at Secretary-General Duan's pleasant expression, the anger on Charlie He's face disappeared a lot. He was originally a veteran in the business world, so he naturally understood that Liu Zhi was actually trying to use his Hong Kong businessmen. I took the opportunity to deal with Du Yan, who didn't know how to praise. Although Secretary-General Duan seems to be relaxed now, he is probably not sure how disgusted he is with the man named Du in his heart. Now that his goal has been achieved, Charlie He will just give it up. After all, his goal is Liuliji's clay underwriting business. He had to stand up for Liu Zhi if necessary. Looking at Secretary-General Duan¡¯s seemingly kind smile, Liu Zhi was secretly proud that Xiao Du was really going to be in big trouble this time. "Secretary-General Duan, then I will wait for the good news from you and the relevant leaders" Charlie He stretched out his fat hand and shook it with Secretary-General Duan. Just when he was about to say a few more words, a dusty car appeared. The jeep drove into the yard. Seeing several people getting out of the car, the smile on Charlie He¡¯s face disappeared. "You are here at the right time, Secretary-General Duan. They are the ones I want to complain about," Charlie He pointed at one of the young and beautiful women and said to Secretary-General Duan. "I want to complain about the relevant personnel in Pingling New District and accuse them of operating behind closed doors." , granted privately. "Secretary-General Duan's eyebrows immediately tightened again. He didn't expect that things that could have been calmed down would change due to the sudden arrival of these people. Then he looked at those people. My personal look is a bit unsightly. "I am Liu Zhi, Secretary-General of the Taihua Municipal Party Committee, who are you?" Liu Zhi, who noticed Secretary-General Duan's face, asked first. "Hello Secretary-General Liu," the young woman took out a business card from her bag and handed it over in a graceful manner. "I am the general manager of Donghai Dingding Financial Consulting Center. My name is Su Qian." Liu Zhi took the card in surprise. A business card, looking at the string of names on it and the name of Juanxiu printed in handwriting, Liu Zhi couldn't help but look at Charlie He next to him. Volume 4 "Volume 3: The Official Sail" Chapter 78 Goddess Su Qian In this era, the East China Sea is actually no different from Hong Kong in the eyes of many mainlanders. They are both distant places that exude petty bourgeoisie and modernity. ¡°The words finance, finance, consultant, and center make people feel even more unfamiliar and awe-inspiring. If these words are put together, many people will feel that it is out of reach. Even as government officials in some mainland provinces, they often have an inexplicable admiration for these new things. It is precisely because of this that the farce of the provincial party committee leader solemnly meeting a street barbecue vendor in Taiwan occurred. Looking at the business card in his hand, Liu Zhi was slightly surprised. He looked at the woman in front of him who looked a little too young and beautiful. He hesitated for a moment and was about to speak. Charlie He next to him was already angrily using his unique Hong Kong and Taiwan accent. He rushed to speak: "You are betting on the leader, what kind of financial and financial center, are you talking about how happy the mainland people are, you people here in Pingling are playing jump bars, I know very well." Listening to Charlie He's confusing words Mixed with Hong Kong and Taiwan slang, Secretary-General Duan glanced at Liu Zhi slightly, and then looked at Su Qian. Su Qian didn¡¯t know who the silent man next to Liu Zhi was, but she was sure from his demeanor that he should be an official with a higher rank than Liu Zhi. Thinking again, I heard that provincial leaders came to inspect today. It is impossible for Su Qian not to be nervous when facing such a senior official. Just thinking of Du Yan's instructions, Su Qian secretly gritted her teeth to calm down. Secondly, after leaving the mainland for the East China Sea, Su Qian's vision has changed, especially with the contact with Qiao Luowei. She seems to have seen another world. Although she still doesn't know the true origin of Qiao Luowei, she has seen Qiao Luowei in the East China Sea, which is not only economically dominant, but even politically comparable to Qiao Luowei. He was able to handle places close to the capital with ease, and he had already vaguely guessed that Qiao Luowei was probably from the most mysterious group of people in the legend. Therefore, it was from this kind of self-confidence that when facing Secretary-General Duan and Liu Zhi, the nervousness in Su Qian's heart quickly disappeared. She looked at Charlie He who looked angry and said calmly but without giving in: "Mr. He , I don¡¯t know what you are talking about, but if you continue to slander Vertex with such baseless accusations, I will consider holding you accountable through legal means. " "Okay, let me file a lawsuit! Come on, lawyer." Charlie He shouted reluctantly and turned to Liu Zhi and said, "Secretary-General Liu, I now formally request to file a complaint with your Taihua Court." When I heard that a lawsuit was going to be filed, Liu Zhi's face changed. He couldn't help but feel dark, and he quickly glanced at Secretary-General Duan next to him, who had an extremely ugly face, but he scolded Charlie He severely in his heart! Liu Zhi was not interested in why Charlie He insisted on underwriting Liuliji's clay. He just wanted to establish a relationship with the backer behind Charlie He. In addition, because of Charlie He's identity as a Hong Kong and Taiwan businessman, once Charlie He's The implementation of the project in Taihua is a big political achievement for Liu Zhi himself. But now hearing Charlie He calling for a lawsuit made Liu Zhi¡¯s heart skip a beat! Chinese people have a natural taboo against going to court. Since ancient times, people have said that they will not sue the government until they die. Even those who are government officials regard going to court as a serious matter. If this is If overseas Chinese compatriots from Hong Kong and Taiwan are involved in the lawsuit, it will feel like a big deal that breaks the sky! "Su, Comrade Su Qian, right?" Liu Zhi's voice was low and oppressive. He looked at Su Qian and said in a slightly unhappy tone, "Do you know that Mr. He is a businessman from Hong Kong? He is here to support us in the mainland. The builder is a patriotic businessman. Your attitude is very bad. Do you know what impact this will have?" Looking at Liu Zhi's stern look, Su Qian felt a little uneasy. She knew that today she would be testing clay. It was Du Yan's idea to bring Fang Jiqing to Liuliji in the name of the content and ingredients. She had already heard Du Yan tell her the real purpose of doing so, but she did not expect that she would meet Liu Zhi, the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, here. It seemed that There is another, larger, high-ranking government official. Su Qian felt nervous, but when she thought that things had reached this point, if she flinched because of nervousness, Du Yan would become passive and might even be hit by it. Su Qian's heart immediately became stronger, and she continued to Du Yan had always been making arrangements for her. Even though she had achieved great success in a short period of time, all of this was inseparable from Du Yan. She was just following his steps. And at this moment, Su Qian realized that she could finally do something for Du Yan! "Secretary-General Liu, I would like to ask," Su Qian smiled generously at Liu Zhi, "is the influence you are talking about?The reason why Mr. He is a Hong Kong businessman? If so, can I understand that because Mr. He is a Hong Kong businessman, the Taihua City Government can deliberately favor it regardless of basic business fairness? Even just because he is a Hong Kong businessman, it can not sacrifice Taihua without principle. own interests? " "what do you mean? "Liu Zhi's originally ugly face suddenly sank. "Our cooperation with Mr. He is based on mutual benefit and reciprocity. At the same time, Mr. He came to the mainland to invest with patriotic enthusiasm. I would like to ask you, where are you, Mr. He, at Pingling Mausoleum? After the new district had already reached an agreement, it still participated. Who instructed it? " Hearing Liu Zhi ask this question directly, Su Qian's heart moved. Although Du Yan didn't tell her the specific situation in detail the night before because it was inconvenient, Su Qian still heard from the phone that Du Yan not only didn't want this Charlie He got the clay sales contract, and at the same time he wanted to make a fuss about this matter, otherwise Du Yan would not have specifically asked him to take Fang Jiqing to take soil samples today. Now when he heard Liu Zhi ask, Although she was not sure of Liu Zhi's original intention, Su Qian realized that Liu Zhi obviously wanted to blame Du Yan. "Secretary-General Liu, you said that Mr. He has reached an agreement with Pingling New District. I think this is true. Not necessarily, we also came here to inspect at the invitation of Pingling New District. As far as we know, the new district has not signed a contract with anyone so far, not even the basic project letter of intent," Su Qian said and looked at it. He glanced at Charlie He, "Mr. He who was in Liuliji just now said personally that he had agreed to sign a contract with the New District, which means that at most they only have an intention to cooperate. I'm not wrong about this, right?" gentlemen? " "I, I didn't say" "Yes, Mr. He said that, I can testify. "Hu Xuecong, who had been standing aside, suddenly took a step forward and said to Liu Zhi. "Who are you? "Liu Zhi asked in a bad tone. "Hello Secretary-General Liu, I am a staff member of the new district. My name is Hu Xuecong. Today I accompanied Mr. He to Liuliji to see the clay samples. "Hu Xuecong replied cleverly. "By the way, they know each other! "Charlie He suddenly remembered something and pointed at Hu Xuecong and Su Qian, "I heard him call this woman Miss Su. They knew each other before! " Liu Zhi's eyes lit up, and he immediately glared at Hu Xuecong. "Yes, I know Miss Su. Hu Xuecong's answer made several people look at him. "Miss Su came with Professor Fang from Donghai University. She is going to do high-tech construction in our new district. Director Du attaches special importance to this. Professor Fang's I still took care of the place. " Hearing that another professor from Donghai University was involved, Liu Zhi couldn't help frowning and looked at Charlie He. Before, he had only heard from Charlie He that there was a place in the New District where the local clay was a good raw material, and he could consider it. In Liu Zhi¡¯s view, the dirt and garbage growing on the ground can be sold for money, and they are sold to Hong Kong businessmen. This is simply a pie-in-the-sky good thing. What¡¯s more important is that if this transaction can be facilitated with The connection with the Hong Kong tycoon behind Charlie He, who is said to have great hands and eyes, can be said to be a great benefit. But now such a simple matter has become more and more complicated, and even a university professor is involved. This made Liu Zhi vaguely feel that things seemed to be a little out of his control. "Hello, Secretary-General Liu, I am Fang Jiqing from the Institute of Technology of Tunghai University. " After getting off the bus, Fang Jiqing, who had been standing behind and watching everything, slowly walked over. The professor's indifference to the powerful, naturally revealed in his temperament cultivated by studying in the ivory tower of the university for many years, made this professor look He has a temperament that is different from ordinary people, which is one of the main reasons why Du Yan respects this intellectual man. However, with the changes of the times, this kind of person who is indifferent to fame and wealth and does not give up for five buckets of rice has become more and more popular. Seeing Liu Zhi shaking hands with Fang Jiqing, there was a trace of strangeness and confusion in his eyes. Lu Xiaoguang, who was beside Fang Jiqing, immediately added, "Professor Fang is a professor who enjoys *** special allowance and is the academic authority of our Donghai University. " "oh? "Hearing what Lu Xiaoguang said, Secretary-General Duan finally spoke. He came over and shook hands with Fang Jiqing warmly: "Hello, Professor Fang, welcome to our Hexi. " "Professor Fang, this is the Secretary-General of the Section of our Hexi Provincial Government," Liu Zhi introduced immediately. At the same time, he couldn't help but have thoughts in his mind, and his mind was a little confused for a while. In these days, *** special allowance Many people don't understand what the concept is, but the literal meaning is enough to make people awe. And from Secretary-General Duan's personal conversation with Professor Fang as soon as he heard this, it can be seen that it is absolutely outrageous. Charlie He obviously didn¡¯t expect that things would turn out like this.Our brand of overseas patriotic businessmen has always been unfavorable. Not to mention the mainland, even in coastal cities, as long as they show their identity as compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, it is a green light and they are cared for. But now these people actually put themselves Liang went to the side to curry favor with an old man from the mainland, which made Charlie He feel unhappy for a while. But Charlie He also heard that the old man was a ***special allowance expert, which somewhat made him restrain his previous arrogance. At the same time, he began to wonder if he was really in trouble. After all, he had little calculations in his mind. You can't let others know. "Secretary-General Duan, I am an academic, not from the government, so there is no need to be so polite and troublesome," Secretary-General Duan turned around and criticized Liu Zhi for not knowing about the arrival of such an important guest, let alone notifying him in time. Regarding the relevant departments of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, Fang Jiqing said with a smile, "I came here mainly at the invitation of Miss Su to inspect the environment in Pingling New District and see if I can transfer some of the research projects in my laboratory." "Move here." "Oh, Professor Fang has a research project that can be done here in Hexi?" Secretary-General Duan asked slightly surprised. Although Tongyang University is a famous university in China, it can be compared with Donghai University. It still sounds a bit inferior, and more importantly, if this *** special allowance expert can come to Hexi, the significance will be even more extraordinary. "It's here in Pingling," Fang Jiqing corrected slightly. "Today it was Miss Su who accompanied me to look at the soil samples. Although the specific situation still needs to be tested, some rough-processed ceramic products from Liuliji Look, I think it meets the material requirements for my research. " "That's a good thing," Secretary Duan said with a smile on his face. He glanced at Su Qian next to him, "Miss Su should be from Hexi too. " Look. Secretary-General Duan could already hear the Hexi accent in his Mandarin. Su Qian smiled and nodded: "Yes, Secretary-General, I am from Pingling." "Oh?" Secretary-General Duan glanced at Su Qian with a thoughtful look. Charlie He had previously shouted that the New District and people were engaging in secret operations, and the words granted in private flashed in his mind. Seeing Secretary-General Duan's expression after hearing this, Liu Zhi immediately changed his mind and said: "Professor Fang, we welcome you to develop research in Taihua, but due to some work reasons, what you said We already have cooperation intentions with Mr. He from Hong Kong for the local clay in that place, so we may need to do some communication here. " "Yes, this old gentleman, we all want to do business. Well, there¡¯s always a first-come, first-served basis.¡± Charlie He came up immediately, but his tone was somewhat more polite, but Secretary-General Duan¡¯s heart inevitably flashed with dissatisfaction. "Mr. He, are you talking about the cooperation you just mentioned when you were arguing with us at Liuliji about underwriting the sale of clay?" Fang Jiqing looked at Charlie He somewhat amusedly, and that look in his eyes made Charlie He feel as if his tricks were all over the place. The feeling of being exposed. "Secretary-General Liu, I don't know how you negotiated with Mr. He, but I can guarantee that anyone who insists on negotiating this business must have bad intentions." Fang Jiqing glanced at him when he said this Su Qian, who seemed to be slightly guilty next to her, had roughly guessed the context of the matter. When he thought that he was actually being used as a shield by that young man, Fang Jiqing felt a little angry. Looking back, he thought that although he was being used by that young man, he could There was no loss at all, and if Du Yan could really achieve what he said before, this little use would be nothing at all, and Fang Jiqing would feel calm. "Old sir, what are you talking about?" Charlie He's face turned red instantly. He took an angry step forward and was about to shout again at the top of his voice. But when he saw Liu Zhi's fierce eyes and Secretary Duan's slightly unhappy look, he After looking at him, he lowered his voice in front of him, but he still said arrogantly, "I am a serious businessman. If you say that, I will sue you." "Secretary-General Duan, let me make it clear first that I don't know how to do business," Fang Jiqing said Ignoring Charlie He, he said to Secretary-General Duan calmly, ¡°But I know that if the soil sample from Liuliji meets my material requirements, it is a treasure land, and I also went over this time to see what kind of clay was used. Even an inexperienced person like me knows that the finished products are of high quality. Such raw materials are purchased and sold directly. Isn¡¯t this a joke? " Secretary-General Duan was a little surprised. He turned back to look at Liu Zhi. Although he had listened for so long, apart from knowing that there was something going on from the beginning, he still had no idea what the two sides were fighting for. This is also a consistent practice in domestic officialdom. What determines the outcome of a thing is not the thing itself, but the stance and struggle needs of both parties! Liu Zhi also looked at Charlie He with some doubts, he didn¡¯t knowHow could a simple clay sale involve so many things? But when he saw a trace of anxiety on Charlie He's fat face, Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel stunned. "Old sir, that's not what you said," Charlie He said arrogantly, "You said it's a treasure if it's useful to you, but that's just for you, but it's different for me. You can't use it. I¡¯m talking about business.¡± ¡°But what if Liuliji¡¯s soil is not only used in specific research, but also has extensive commercial applications in other places?¡± I know that these topics may not necessarily arouse the real interests of these officials. Taking this seriously, Su Qian decided to use the key trump card that Du Yan told her. "Secretary-general Duan, leaders, I think you must know the famous plain porcelain in Hexi's history. The famous plain porcelain in history was fired in Pingling, and the background soil used was the local clay from Liuliji. The unique color of Hexisu magnetic energy depends largely on the special local soil quality. This kind of background color embryo soil is also the raw material that many other ceramic industries dream of. After all, artificially prepared embryo soil cannot be compared with this kind of soil. Compared with natural embryo soil, it can be said that the original soil of Liuliji has the value of turning stone into gold! " "Miss Su, is the Hexi Sici that has been lost since the Yuan Dynasty?" Secretary-General Duan suddenly said? Su Qian interrupted, looking a little excited. "It's that Suci." Su Qian showed a smile on her face. She knew that things had finally changed decisively. "When we were checking the soil samples, we saw many small kilns in Liuliji, and many of them were firing kilns, and It is said that someone in Liuliji has started to use ancient recipes to restore the lost Sici. Secretary-General Duan, I came here for this reason." Su Qian lost no time in revealing her true intention and indirectly explained why she did it. Knowing so much about Liuliji's situation, Secretary-General Duan couldn't help but look at her. "Mr. He, I think you should know that the clay in Liuliji is the embryonic soil of Pingling Sici," Su Qian asked Charlie He when Secretary-General Duan didn't continue to say anything. She saw the look on Charlie He's face. A little uneasy, Su Qian showed a smile that made others dazzle. "Probably Secretary-General Liu doesn't know the value of Liuliji clay. The main reason why Pinglingsu Ceramic Energy is so famous in history is because of the local clay with special ingredients." Soil quality, so even if it is not because of Professor Fang¡¯s research project, because Liuliji clay has the uniqueness of being a high-grade ceramic clay, it is also a high-value natural raw material with a certain degree of exclusivity.¡± Charlie He¡¯s face was already extremely ugly at this time. , he never expected that in this remote and uninformed place, there would be someone who knew the true value of Liuliji pottery as well as he did! As Su Qian said, because it is a pure natural base soil that is rare in the ceramic industry, whether it is used as a high-end ceramic decorative material in the international market or as a pure artistic luxury product, the original soil of Liuliji has its own characteristics. The extraordinary value of stone turning into gold is not an exaggeration to call it the golden key that opens the door to wealth! These are the clues that Charlie He finally discovered after painstakingly reading through many materials and interviewing many famous pottery masters. However, the woman in front of him completely shattered his dream, which made Charlie He's originally red face turn dark. And his appearance directly proved that what Su Qian said was completely true! Secretary-General Duan glanced at Liu Zhi with a gloomy face. Even though he didn't know what Liu Zhi had to do with this matter, Liu Zhi's previous attitude towards solving the problem made him slightly dissatisfied. At this moment, Su Qian said The words caught his attention even more. "Mr. He, I want to know at what price you want to sign the purchase contract for all the original land in Liuliji." "This is a commercial secret, you have no right to know!" Charlie He said in a deep voice, and at the same time he asked Liu Zhiwang Go, trying to hope that Liu Zhi can say something for him again. But Charlie He was disappointed, Liu Zhi looked at him with anger in his eyes, and then Liu Zhi looked away. "Report to the Secretary-General, I know." Hu Xuecong's face had the nervous look unique to young people facing leaders, but there was indescribable excitement hidden in his eyes. Seeing Secretary-General Duan nodded slightly to him, Hu Xuecong continued: "There is a reason why Director Du has been suppressing Mr. He's letter of intent. He has long said that this contract is unfair to the new district and is robbing the people of the new district of their money. After saying this, Hu Xuecong glanced at Charlie He who was about to faint. "The initial price in the letter of intent is 40 yuan per ton of pure clay and 25 yuan for miscellaneous clay. If the long-term contract is set, it will be based on a long-term contract." Let¡¯s negotiate the purchase price.¡± ¡°What?¡± Secretary Duan, who had always remained calm, finally showed a hint of anger. He first glanced at Charlie He, whose face was turning green, and then slowly turned his head. He glanced at Liu Zhi, who also looked stunned, and then? He spat out "Prodigal son!" The look on Liu Zhi's face at this time was already indescribably ugly. He never imagined that this Charlie He would actually do this to him! Facing Secretary-General Duan's stern eyes, Liu Zhi couldn't help but tremble slightly. He knew that Secretary-General Duan had obviously discovered that there might be some kind of relationship between him and Charlie He, although so far Liu Zhi considered himself to have left. On the upright side, apart from eating, he did not receive any benefits from Charlie He, nor did he put a penny in his pocket. But if the leader has an opinion in his heart, how can he be honest no matter how honest he is? Just when Liu Zhi's mind was in chaos, a voice that sent chills all over his body suddenly came from behind: "Secretary-General, I know this person." Only then did Secretary Liao slowly walk over. He looked at Charlie He, and then said respectfully to Secretary-General Duan: ¡°I met Director Du when I had dinner with him yesterday. At that time, he threatened Director Du to sign a contract, and said that this was what Secretary-General Liu of the Municipal Party Committee ordered. " After listening to Secretary Liao's words, Secretary-General Duan turned to look at Liu Zhi, then he said hello to Fang Jiqing with a smile, then turned around and ignored Liu Zhi, who was already standing there speechless, with an expression on his face He turned around gloomily and walked towards the office building! For a time, countless complicated eyes were focused on Liu Zhi! Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 79 The Era of Huayang On the afternoon of the day Gao Ke left Pingling, Taihua City held a meeting of district and county cadres. At the meeting, Cui Jianbin gave a high-spirited speech. This was a rare performance for him since he became the secretary of the municipal party committee, although he had always done so before. He also gave such an impassioned speech, but both the audience below and Cui Jianbin himself could feel the hollowness and boredom in the speech. Even sometimes when Cui Jianbin was speaking, he felt that Ren Shuqiang sitting next to him was looking at him with sarcastic eyes. Once this feeling is deeply ingrained, it is difficult to change. In the end, this feeling spread to everyone, so that every time people look at When Cui Jianbin spoke, it seemed as if he was engaged in an endless struggle with an invisible person. But that afternoon, Cui Jianbin was very impressive and full of witty words, completely controlling the atmosphere at the venue. On the contrary, Ren Shuqiang, who was sitting next to him, always seemed quite low-key. This made many cadres below see it and couldn't help but talk about it. When I think of Governor Gao's recent departure, Cui Jianbin's energy and spirit are completely different. Many people can't help but secretly wonder: "Could Granny Cui really have some drama this time?" Cui Jianbin's nickname is "Grandma Cui". I know which cadre from the municipal government gave it to me. It was originally a satire on Cui Jianbin for being too hesitant and irresponsible, but later it spread from person to person. It¡¯s just that Cui Jianbin at this time is completely different. He has the courage to point out the country and write passionate words. However, in Li Peizheng¡¯s eyes, Li Peizheng was secretly worried about his actions. Cui Jianbin is Yang Weiquan¡¯s man. Not many people know this details, but Li Peizheng found out from Qu Xiangshan, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Although Li Peizheng was closer to Qu Xiangshan before and was not considered Cui Jianbin's direct descendant, in general they were still on the same line. Seeing Cui Jianbin's appearance now, Li Peizheng couldn't help but worry about what Yang Weiquan would do if he knew about it. I don¡¯t have any thoughts about Cui Jianbin. Ren Shuqiang has always been very low-key. Even when it was his turn to speak, he just read out the script step by step. This was completely different from his previous behavior where he regarded the meeting as a declaration of his personal will. This gave people even more ideas. Even after the meeting, in addition to Ren Shuqiang's buddies, many cadres who had always been on the sidelines took the rare initiative to lean towards Cui Jianbin. For a time, rumors of "Grandma Cui is rising" and "Ren Dashu is going to fall" spread in Taihua official circles. Flying around. Du Yan didn't want to get involved with such rumors. He had an idea before Gao Ke left at noon and gave Gao Ke a treasure of plain porcelain copied according to ancient recipes by the masters of Liuliji as a souvenir. Gao Ke seemed very interested at the time, and even jokingly said in front of others, "You gave me such a precious thing, but if you come to the provincial capital, I won't be able to give you anything to reciprocate." Although this sentence made many people feel envious, jealous, and even hateful, people knew that this was just an approachable attitude of Governor Gao. Even though Director Xiao Du was successful this time, I may not have the chance to meet Governor Gao again in my lifetime, let alone ask Governor Gao to return the gift. After all, the distance between the two of them is too far. The opportunity to talk to Governor Gao is already smoking in the ancestral grave of Director Xiao Du. But only Du Yan himself knew that the chance for him and Gao Ke to meet again might be sooner than he thought. Looking at the shiny Chuji Zun in his hand, Gao Ke let out a soft praise: "It is worthy of inheriting the ancient method. It does have a strong sense of history." "Governor, it is said in ancient records that Sici is characterized by its simplicity, simplicity and simplicity. "It is named after the color glaze is natural. Although the current plain porcelain is still imitated, I believe there will be a good prospect," Secretary-General Duan, who was sitting opposite Gao Ke, said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I can be regarded as a younger half of the ancient people." Porcelain collectors, it¡¯s a pity that after so many years of playing, we in Hexi have never even seen our own treasures. It¡¯s a pity that they are imitations after all, and even if they are made, they are different from the real ones.¡± Secretary Duan looked slightly disappointed. If so, Gao Ke slowly placed the Halberd Zun on the table in front of him: "You can't say that, after all, it has been imitated, and if we can continue to study it, it may not be a small achievement for us in Hexi." Gao Ke's words made Secretary-General Duan, who was still immersed in the emotion of ancient porcelain, immediately wake up. He knew that in the eyes of Gao Ke, the value of these things was more reflected in the role they could play in his future governance in Hexi. As for Others are obviously not considered by Gao Ke. "The things over there in Pingling are quite impressive. That young man named Du is quite capable." Gao Ke seemed to say this casually, but Secretary-General Duan, who was sitting opposite, felt a little moved in his heart. Gao Ke did not mention the Pingling County Party Committee and County Government, or even?The new district below was not mentioned, but the name of the young man named Du Yan was mentioned. This made Secretary Duan feel that the meaning was worth pondering. Does Governor Gao want to promote that young man named Du? This thought flashed through Secretary-General Duan's mind, but it only passed by in a flash. After all, Du Yan's level was still low. Even if Gao Ke wanted to use it, there wouldn't be any big movement for a while. Secondly, Du Yan's level was still low. Secretary-General Duan believes that it is better not to speculate on the leader's thoughts at will. Years of experience as an official tell him that understanding the leader's intentions must be moderate, and he understands this truth. "Okay, that's it. Secretary-General, please let the writers in the office summarize the relevant spirit of this inspection and come up with something targeted." Seeing that it was almost done, Gao Ke gave Secretary-General Duan Arrangements were made, and what was amazing was that just when Secretary-General Duan stood up and was about to leave, Secretary Xue seemed to have the right timing and knocked on the door lightly and walked in. "Governor, we are ready over there," Secretary Xue reported to Gao Ke after Secretary Duan left, "According to your instructions, we have asked the other party not to make too much noise, and after you go there, everything will be simple and don't do anything." There's no such thing as an overly formal welcome ceremony, but that may not be the case over there." Speaking of this, Secretary Xue gave a helpless smile, as if he could understand other people's behavior despite the governor's instructions. But the other party would never dare to show any indifference to the dilemma. Listening to Secretary Xue's report, Gao Ke's heart trembled slightly. Secretary Xue obviously didn't know the details of the person he was going to meet today, so he showed this seemingly understanding, but in fact there was a hint of arrogance. look. In fact, Secretary Xue¡¯s behavior is understandable. After all, no matter who meets with a dignified provincial governor, he will feel nervous and uneasy. Especially if the leader specifically orders everything to be simple, then the people below will really be at a loss as to what to do. Many times, the leader is dissatisfied if the things assigned by the leader are not done well, but sometimes if the leader's instructions are carried out conscientiously, the leader may not be happy. Especially in this kind of reception, the people below often follow the principle that they would rather do what they want at that time. Even if you are scolded, you can't let the leader feel that you are not taken seriously because you are really indifferent and make others think about you. The saying goes that there is nothing wrong with being careful in officialdom, and happiness is only when everything is stable, that is, in this kind of place. It¡¯s just that Secretary Xue obviously expressed the wrong feelings this time. Gao Ke knew very well that the person he was going to meet today would not worry too much about these things. This is the third day for Gao Ke to return to the provincial capital Tongyang from Taihua. For Gao Ke, the results of this trip to Taihua can be said to be mixed. Although it is only a prefecture-level city, Taihua is the entire Hexi A typical microcosm of the province¡¯s current economic environment. The decline of traditional old industries and the social conflicts that have emerged as a result have already foreseen signs. Gao Ke can imagine that he will face many difficulties in the next few years, especially as the central government divides the party and government power functions in more and more details. As the provincial governor, Gao Ke has already felt what kind of situation he may face. At this time, the appearance of Qiao Luowei, who represented the power of the Song family, made Gao Ke feel that the political situation in Hexi Province had become extremely complicated. Gao Ke, who succeeded Chu Ping and became the flagship figure of local cadres in Hexi, knew very well that even if he could successfully become the secretary of the provincial party committee in a few years, he would only be able to serve in a different place. The central government would never allow any local cadre to become the secretary of the provincial party committee. The province's feudal officials, this is an organizational system that has been formed for many years. If he can successfully serve as the secretary of the provincial party committee, then the person who will succeed him as governor will obviously be Yang Weiquan, the current executive deputy governor. Speaking of which, the eldest son of the Yang family can endure hardships and stay in the inland area of ??Hexi for a few years. The purpose is nothing more than to complete his resume as quickly as possible. Unless Yang Weiquan's goal is to become the prime minister, otherwise if he has the ambition to reach the top, then his personal resume must be complete and convincing. Therefore, it is obviously the most critical moment for Yang Weiquan to go from executive to governor, and then from governor to provincial party secretary, and finally to strive for the future with a rich and complete resume. Because of this, before Yang Weiquan arrived in Hexi, the Yang family brought Cui Jianbin from a neighboring province to Hexi in advance to serve as a forward when Yang Weiquan took over in the future. Unfortunately, Cui Jianbin was obviously not a material capable of taking on big responsibilities, and he was eventually dismissed. Ren Shuqiang, who relied on Taihua's local cadres as his strongest support, was able to fight to the death. As for how much hope the Yang family has for Yang Weiquan, in fact, anyone who is a little familiar with the inside story knows it well, but not only does no one really say this, but more importantly, although the Yang family can be called A true boss may not be unshakable. ¡°At least in Hexi, Yang Weiquan may not be the person with the most background.¡±Gao Ke took out the secondary evaluation report of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory that Qiao Luowei had given him before from the drawer and opened it again. Although Gao Ke was not clear about the deliberate underestimation of assets in the first assessment of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory, he knew that the shadow of the Minister of Machinery Industry Sui Jianchao was behind the incident, and Sui Jianchao was the Taihua Municipal Party Committee member. Deputy Secretary Zhang Wenliang¡¯s father-in-law, and it was Zhang Wenliang who reacted most violently during that evaluation. When you reach Gao Ke's status, you often have to look at things vertically from top to bottom, rather than focusing on a single thing at a certain place and time. Thinking of a statistical summary of the operating conditions of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises within the ministry's system issued by the Ministry of Machinery Industry a few months ago, Gao Ke has vaguely smelled a political trend. And at this moment, people from the Song family appeared! Gao Ke closed Qiao Luowei's evaluation report, but he couldn't help but weigh in his mind what kind of choice he should make between the forces behind Sui Jianchao and the circle represented by the Song family. Gao Ke is a local cadre in Hexi. Although there are old superiors with Hexi background that he can rely on, it is Chu Ping who directly supports him. It¡¯s just that Chu Ping¡¯s withdrawal has made Gao Ke feel a little alone. What¡¯s more, after all, the old superiors above him have also withdrawn from the second line, and it seems that they don¡¯t care anymore. Therefore, if Gao Ke wants to have the ambition to reach a higher level in the future, re-choosing a circle that can support him enough becomes a problem that must be faced. "However, the most sensitive decision to stand in line is not so easy to make. There are too many lessons from predecessors who made mistakes every step of the way. Even Chu Ping¡¯s lessons are living teaching materials for Gao Ke¡¯s future progress. As far as Gao Ke knows, although the Song family belongs to the kind of big tree with truly deep roots that no one else knows, the man behind Sui Jianchao is expected to become a powerful figure in the generation of prime ministers, especially when he thinks of that. With a man who now firmly controls the National Bank, which determines the lifeline of the entire country's economy, Gao Ke couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. More importantly, Gao Ke vaguely heard that the man behind Sui Jianchao had a very close relationship with Wang Bingchen, who was now in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture. Wang Bingchen was not only a red descendant with a strong background like Yang Weiquan, but more importantly, this Although he is known for being low-key now, it is said that when he was young, he was a famous figure in the Forty-Nine Cities. Like Yang Weiquan, he is regarded as one of the popular candidates to reach the top in the future! As for Yang Weiquan, Gao Ke had already heard that when he inspected the economic development of Tongyang City, he specifically mentioned the name of Huayang Group and praised Huayang's contribution to the economic development of Tongyang and even Hexi. Ichiban. Faced with this delicate situation in which one side is a long-established Kuomintang patriarch and the other side is a vigorous elite upstart, and both parties seem to have some relationship with a popular figure who may rise to the top in the future, Gao Ke I couldn't help but feel hard to choose between the two. "I didn't expect that this Hexi area would actually become a favorite in the eyes of a few big guys," Gao Ke was surprised in his heart, and then he smiled slightly, "Let's just take a look and talk about it." Having made such a decision, Gao Ke Ke felt as if he felt a little more relaxed. Although he was still confused about what the future would be like now, with Gao Ke's character, he no longer hesitated once he made a decision. Man proposes, God disposes. Gao Ke believed in this in his heart, or in other words, this was a valuable lesson Chu Ping taught him through his own personal experience. Huayang Commercial Building is now considered a truly high-end shopping mall not only in Tongyang, but also in the entire mainland. In other words, from the very beginning, Qiao Luowei decided to make it a vane that leads the fashion in the mainland. Because of this, in the eyes of many Tongyang people, Huayang is undoubtedly a petty bourgeoisie, and even in the eyes of some old people, it is simply a model of the decadent bourgeois life. But what surprised Tongyang people is that although Huayang has been positioned as high-end from the beginning, it also has warm and creative ideas that allow ordinary people to enjoy life that are not available in this era. For example, the floor-to-ceiling ceiling in the lobby below the first floor There are a series of cold drink halls by the glass windows that make passersby glance inside, and an open coffee shop located in the back. Although it is said to be expensive, it has a warm atmosphere that is rare in this era. What's even more rare is that I don't know who came up with this idea. There is actually a small amusement park for children to play in. Although the toys inside are a bit monotonous, because you can leave your children here temporarily, many people are attracted to it. It is extremely convenient for young couples who take their children out to go shopping, but cannot shop with peace of mind because their children are naughty. All this makes Huayang appear different from other large state-owned shopping malls, orAlthough the scale is not small, the private shopping malls still have backward concepts. The most important thing is that although Huayang has an unusually high-end and even slightly luxurious feeling in people's eyes, Huayang's services are not. And there is a respect for customers that is not found anywhere else. It is precisely because of this that, although it has not been a long time, Huayang has gradually become an iconic central area in the Tongyang business district. Many Tongyang people are proud to buy things in Huayang, while more outsiders are He came here because of the name of Huayang. Looking at the two revolving glass doors in the middle of the Huayang Commercial Building, Du Yan couldn't help but smile. He still remembered that when he brought Du Fei here for the first time, Du Fei kept going in and out of the two doors. This made many girls who were standing nearby looking at the novelty but embarrassed with envy. Then some people They started to circle together, and more and more people followed, and finally Huayang employees had to step in to maintain order. However, it was Du Fei's little naughtiness that inspired Du Yan, and he and Qiao Luowei proposed building a children's playground on the first floor of the commercial building. According to Du Yan's idea, the entire commercial building will be expanded in the future. It will become a comprehensive large-scale center focusing on shopping and integrating entertainment, catering and services. It's just that this idea is still a little ahead of its time, and given the living standards in the mainland, Du Yan believes that there will not be such a large level of consumption for a while. However, Du Yan is not worried about the future. This is of course because he knows the future very well. trend, and more importantly, he knew that his visit to Tongyang this time was the beginning of development in a certain direction based on his own ideas. With Du Yan thinking in his mind, he walked into Huayang Commercial Building. He saw that many of the commercial buildings were built and decorated based on his suggestions and inspirations. They had an environment that was obviously beyond the times. They were matched with the clothes he designed and wore. The waiter looked like a suit that could make women secretly jealous and men can't help but think about it. Du Yan couldn't help but reveal an ambiguous smile on his lips. Speaking of the unique four-season style suits and uniforms of the Huayang Commercial Building waiters, it seems that they have not only become the symbol of Huayang Commercial Building, but also become the standard that many Tongyang women strive to imitate. For a time, Huayang Commercial Building seemed to be everywhere on the street. female employee. This was undoubtedly a free advertisement for Huayang, which once made Du Yan very proud. The only thing that made him regretful was that when he asked Zhao Xiaoyun to put on Huayang's uniform to show him, Zhao Xiaoyun refused even to the death. Du Yan was thinking wildly in his mind as he walked. When he reached the "Women's World" opened specifically for female customers in Huayang, a burst of noise suddenly came. Du Yan walked slowly through the crowd gathered in a circle, and then he saw a family he never expected to meet here! Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 80 Childish Now, Companion Then In the middle of the crowd stood a young couple in their thirties. Although their clothes were simple, the two of them looked like a handsome man and a beautiful woman when they stood together, which made the people standing around feel pleasing to the eye. What is even more eye-catching is that there is a little girl wearing a light blue primary school uniform with pink makeup standing between the two of them. Although this girl looks only seven or eight years old, and is only wearing a very ordinary school uniform, because she inherited her parents' unusual appearance, she looks extremely cute even at a young age, especially at this time, because She raised her head slightly in grievance, with a pair of big eyes hidden under her long eyelashes, which made people believe that she was so beautiful at such a young age, and she must be a great beauty when she grows up. Seeing Han Qiushi and his wife, Du Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised. When he saw the girl standing between them, Du Yan's heart tightened instantly! Han Bing, it¡¯s actually Han Bing! In this new life, I finally saw Han Bing, the Han Bing who had a bad relationship with me in the previous life that I couldn't figure out and was constantly troubled by! Du Yan once thought that he might see Han Bing again one day, but it would only be on the far street, or in front of Han Bing's school, and it would definitely be a long time later, in the Han Bing he was familiar with. When I have grown up. He never thought that he would see Han Bing at this time, a little person who was only eight years old and needed his parents to hold his hands, standing there just as high as his waist. Looking at Han Bing, Du Yan couldn't help but feel inexplicably sour in his heart. The unspeakable emotion made him feel his throat was blocked and he choked secretly. But just when Du Yan was filled with emotions and emotions, a sharp voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "What do you think we should do?" After hearing this shout, Du Yan noticed Han Qiushi and his wife standing across from each other. There was a middle-aged woman in her forties, and beside her stood two men and women of about the same age. This woman was half-covered in a beige coat, but at this moment, the coat was stained with a large piece of colorful ice cream. At this time, Du Yan noticed that Han Bing's hand was holding an ice cream with only half of it left. cup of ice cream cup. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Han Qiushi kept apologizing to the woman with an apologetic smile on his face. "Is that all I need to apologize for? What does this dress count for?" the woman shouted angrily, "I was trying on clothes and your kid came over and showered me all over. What's the point?" "No, you bumped into me when you turned around!" A A childish but stubborn voice sounded. This voice stopped in Du Yan's ears, but it instantly plucked a deep heartstring in his heart. "What do you mean? Are you saying that I blackmailed you? Look at how you educated this child. He has been telling lies since he was a child. How can he learn well when he grows up?" The middle-aged woman yelled at Han Qiushi furiously. The two men and women couldn't help but help. "Xiao Bing, you are not allowed to lie. If you do something wrong, you have to admit it." Han Qiushi was still educating his daughter with a calm expression. On the contrary, Qian Su next to him suddenly showed an angry look on his face after hearing what the woman said. "I didn't" Han Bing stared at his father and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then tilted his head slightly to the side and looked at Han Qiushi. Seeing this familiar action, Du Yan next to him couldn't help feeling sour again. It seemed that he saw the stubborn, hot, but fascinating fairy that he was many years later. "Look, this kid is still telling lies in front of adults!" The woman pointed at Han Bing angrily and was about to say something else, but her words were interrupted by Qian Su, who was already angry: "Why do you say that about me? "How do you know you're not talking nonsense?" "What did you say?" The middle-aged woman's face suddenly turned red. She was originally displeased with the extremely attractive young couple in front of her. Looking at Qian Su's beautiful and delicate face, an evil fire burned inexplicably in her heart. "You say I'm telling lies? Ask the people next to you who is telling lies?" "That's right, Sister Ma is. Who would frame a brat like you?" The woman standing next to the middle-aged woman shouted in support and at the same time nudged the man next to her with her elbow. "Yes, we all saw what happened. This kid came over when we were trying on clothes and soiled the clothes with the ice cream in his hand." The man nodded and said, at the same time he looked Han Qiushi up and down, maybe it was Because Han Qiushi vaguely exudes the temperament developed by working in an agency for many years, the middle-aged man not only guessed where Han Qiushi, who did not look very old, would work.   After all, Tongyang is the provincial capital, and all the party and government organs of Hexi Province are here. If you offend someone because you don't know their connections, it will be more than worth the loss. Just thinking about it, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel that he was a little worried. After all, the person his wife was following was not an ordinary person. Even if the young couple in front of them worked in a certain agency, they would not be big cadres. . The most important thing is that Sister Ma loves this stained dress very much. From the introduction of the mall staff, it seems that this dress is the only one in the mall. "I'm not lying!" The childish but seemingly unyielding voice sounded again. Han Bing's little jade-like face turned red, and her two little fists like meat buns were tightly clenched together. Although she was tightly held by her mother, While grabbing hold of her, she leaned forward and shouted angrily at the man: "You're just telling a lie. It was obviously her who bumped into me when she turned around! If you don't believe me, ask her!" Han Bing stretched out his hand and pointed at the man standing there. On the other side, the store clerk was watching their quarrel and looking at the coat with a helpless expression. Han Bing¡¯s words made everyone¡¯s eyes focus on the waiter, which made the waiter nervous for a moment. "Now that someone has seen it, it will be easier to handle." Qian Su pulled Han Bing to the waiter and showed a smile. "I'm sorry, could you please tell us what happened?" The waiter was a little confused. She looked at both sides awkwardly. Because she specializes in selling high-end clothing in a shopping mall, she has much more experience. From the words and deeds of the middle-aged couple when they walked in with the woman just now, she already knew this woman. Obviously the origin was not small, because she could feel that although the man seemed respectful to the woman, when he talked to other people, he immediately showed a bossy aura, and that feeling made her unable to help but Think of those senior managers in commercial buildings. And this young couple with a child, both in terms of their clothing and youth, were obviously unlikely to be people with any big background. This made the waiter have an idea from the beginning, but what made her embarrassed was that the item The stained piece of clothing was not only the only one at this boutique counter, but also because it was so expensive that it was considered a rare item. Thinking of the price of this piece of clothing, the waitress couldn't help but worry that it might have been stained by a child. , the young couple could not pay the debt at all, and they were even more embarrassed because they were obviously lying. For a moment, the waitress had an unnatural look on her face, especially when she saw Han Bing's childish eyes staring at her with hope and expectation. I find it difficult to open my mouth. "Comrade, is Manager Huang of your shopping mall here now?" The middle-aged man asked the waitress when he saw the troubled look on his face. "Manager Huang? Our manager's surname is Liu" The waitress instinctively thought of her department manager, but then she thought of something and opened her mouth slightly, asking with some uncertainty, "You are talking about Mr. Huang from our commercial building." "Manager?" "Yes, is Lao Huang here now?" Seeing the uneasy look on the waitress's face, a trace of pride flashed across the man's face. The man couldn't help but be secretly happy to have the opportunity to do things for the lady Ma behind him. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get close. "I, I don't know, our general manager usually doesn't come down." The waitress said while looking at Han Qiushi and his wife. When she met Han Bing's innocent and eager eyes, her eyes immediately changed. Sweep aside. "Okay, do you have an internal phone here? Tell me the switchboard number of your mall." The middle-aged man walked behind the counter and found the landline and asked the waitress a little impatiently, "What's the switchboard number?" "The waitress immediately reported the number. At the same time, the woman accompanying Sister Ma also came over and said in a slightly disgusted tone: "Why don't you even have a place to sit here? Isn't your Huayang restaurant known for its best service? Is it a thoughtful place? " "Yes, there are chairs. Please wait." At this time, the two waiters who had been standing nearby turned and ran away in a hurry, carrying two chairs. "Sister Ma, please sit down for a while, don't get tired after standing for a long time," the middle-aged woman said to Sister Ma with a shy smile. At the same time, she turned back to the man who was on the phone and shouted, "What's wrong with Lao Jiao? They are pornographic." You can¡¯t even invite a manager with such a big attitude, right?¡± Hearing his wife¡¯s scolding, the man¡¯s face showed a hint of anger, but he completely directed his anger at the person on the other side of the phone. : "Tell you, Manager Huang, I don't care if he is in a meeting or not, I will go to the clothing store on the second floor of the commercial building to solve the problem immediately! You tell him that my surname is Jiao, and it was the one he invited a few days ago."The one with the last name Jiao! " After the man finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a click. With this sound, several waitresses standing nearby couldn't help but tremble, with uneasiness and fear in their eyes! But at the same time, an undisguised "Pfft "Laughter suddenly sounded in the crowd. Hearing this laughter, the people watching the excitement were slightly startled for a moment, and then the quick-thinking people reacted immediately, and then others also understood. For a while, the people around him couldn't help but laugh. Continuously, the woman blushed. "Pfft~" Even Han Qiushi, who was the person involved, couldn't help but chuckle, but Qian Su next to him looked up at Han Bing with a blank expression and nudged him with his elbow. After a while, Qian Su couldn't help but chuckled with a blushing face. Faced with the laughter of the people around him, the man named Jiao was stunned at first and then understood. His slightly dark face suddenly turned pale. Zi, at the same time, he looked at Sister Ma uneasily, but he was afraid that something would happen to her after hearing this. On the contrary, Sister Ma glared disdainfully at the people watching, and then she looked at the woman who had been standing next to her. He said, "Xiao'e, you're tired too. Let's sit down and wait to see what the leaders of their commercial building say when they arrive. Their people don't dare to speak out about such a trivial matter. I think Huayang needs to put things in order." " "Sister Ma, you are right. You don't even dare to tell the truth. What does Huayang want such an employee to do? After a while, I asked Manager Huang to fire him. "The middle-aged woman's face immediately showed a look of joy because Sister Ma asked her to sit down. She first glared at the waitress who changed her face after hearing this, then sat down in the chair next to Sister Ma, and at the same time He turned to the laughing crowd and cursed: "A bunch of hooligans! ". "This lesbian, what did you just say? " A cold voice sounded from the crowd, and people couldn't help but look around. When they saw Du Yan slowly walking out of the crowd, Han Qiushi looked a little surprised at first, and then a trace of joy appeared on his face. Du Yan smiled slightly at Han Qiushi He smiled but did not speak. Instead, he passed by him and walked towards the three men and women. However, when he passed by Han Bing, he felt Han Bing's curious and doubtful eyes at the corner of his eyes, and there was an indescribable sadness in his heart. Du Yan almost stopped, hugged her tightly and cried bitterly, "Who are you? "The cadre surnamed Jiao took a step forward and looked at Du Yan with caution. Today, Du Yan's dress does not look like a state cadre at all, but more like a stubborn leader. Although the popular element of the imperial city has long been It was not so fashionable a few years ago, but in many places in the mainland, it is still the object of imitation. It's just that Du Yan wears a large T-shirt on the upper body and a pair of terracotta jeans on the lower body. If it were placed in the 21st century, it would be The image of a typical sunny boy is now classified into the group of stubborn people who are obviously irregular in the eyes of ordinary people. "This, your surname is Jiao, right?" "As soon as Du Yan spoke, there was another burst of laughter behind him, "Comrade Jiao, I just want to ask, what did this female comrade mean by what she just said? " "what do you mean? "The middle-aged woman stood up when Du Yan asked her question. She stared at Du Yan guiltily at first, but when she saw several security guards running over after hearing the news, she immediately became bolder. "You were the one laughing just now, right? What is it, you little rascal! " "What did you say? " Du Yan's face, which had always been calm and even with a smile, suddenly sank. His eyes were fixed on the woman, which made the cadre named Jiao immediately become nervous. When he saw a man standing in front of several security guards, When his companion walked over quickly, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately shouted loudly: "Manager Huang, this way! " "Director Jiao, it's really you," the manager of the commercial building, known as Manager Huang, almost ran over in three steps and two steps at a time. He stretched out his hands from a distance. When he took Director Jiao's outstretched right hand, He immediately shook his head enthusiastically, "Director Jiao, why didn't you say hello first when you came to inspect? We didn't even prepare any tea or snacks here. Look, aren't you making things difficult for us?" " Listening to Manager Huang's words that sounded like complaints but were actually frivolous, a smile flashed across Director Jiao's face, but he quickly stopped his smile and said to Manager Huang with a serious expression: "Manager Huang, I remember that some time ago our Tong When Huayang selected the city's quarterly outstanding units in the service industry, it was your Huayang who won the banner, right? " "Yes, yes, it is entirely because of the care and help of the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee, Municipal Government and Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau that we can achieve this result. "Manager Huang laughed, but his eyes inadvertently looked at Sister Ma sitting behind. In fact, Manager Huang, who was in a meeting, was on his way here.?I already knew the general outline of the matter. Although I felt that it was not a big deal, when people said that Director Jiao and his wife came here with another woman who seemed to be a family member of a cadre, Manager Huang couldn't help but think Heartbroken. Director Jiao is the deputy director in charge of the Tongyang City Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Although he is only at the division level, he is the boss of hundreds of thousands of small and large businesses in Tongyang. Even someone with deep roots and strong backing like Huayang cannot be wrong. Director Jiao was extremely respectful. And now Director Jiao, who has always been arrogant, is not only standing aside, but also his wife, who is famous for her arrogance. Although she is also sitting, she seems to be carefully looking at the eyes of the woman next to her. In this situation, In the eyes of the worldly manager Huang, it was natural to understand a little bit at once. "Director Jiao, did our staff have a problem at work? Just say it, no matter who it is, we will deal with it seriously!" After speaking, Manager Huang turned back and glared at the several waiters behind him who had turned pale. . Everyone knows that Huayang not only has very high wages, but also provides a certain degree of training for girls who want to work in Huayang. The etiquette and norms learned in these trainings, as well as many new and unheard-of common sense of life, are very impressive. The girls from Huayang have gradually become the fashion representatives of Tongyang City, which has caused many girls from other places in Tongyang and even the province to rush to sign up. But Huayang is also strict. Any behavior that makes customers dissatisfied will be severely punished within the company. Once a formal complaint is caused by a customer, you will be in danger of losing your job! Now seeing Manager Huang¡¯s glare, several girls have turned pale, especially the waitress selling clothes, whose slightly messy hair has been stained with sweat on her forehead. "Manager Huang, we are just here in a private capacity to walk around and buy some things. There is no need to be so formal." Although Director Jiao said this, he was very airy, if it weren't for the fact that there is a grandma behind him who needs to be taken care of. , he has already made a habit of making impromptu speeches. "That's right, this is what you call going deep into the masses and having fun with the people," Manager Huang laughed, then lowered his voice slightly and asked tentatively, "Director Jiao, the situation here is" "It's nothing. Just let a naughty child stain the clothes that Sister Ma wants to buy, please see how to solve it." After finishing speaking, Director Jiao winked at his wife. "Yes, Manager Huang, your waiter said this is the only one in the store. Sister Ma really likes it, but let a child who doesn't know where it comes from get dirty and blackmail us," Jiao As the director's wife spoke, she glared hard at Du Yan, who was standing tall, "As a result, it even provoked a group of unscrupulous people in society to start making noises. I said, Manager Huang, you Huayang should really rectify it." Although it is a commercial building, you can't put all the unscrupulous people in it. How do you want serious customers to see it?" Director Jiao's wife took out a handkerchief from her pocket and fanned it in front of her eyes. This will fan away any bad smells. Manager Huang frowned secretly. In fact, he already knew what happened. He just wanted to be a peacemaker and see if there was a chance to get to know a certain high-ranking lady, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing. But look Seeing the look Director Jiao and his wife had on the woman, Manager Huang's mind just turned around slightly, and he turned back to the waiters and asked sternly: "What is going on? Tell me clearly!" Just when Manager Huang said this At that time, Du Yan, who had been paying attention to him, had noticed the look he gave to the waiter. Seeing him like this, Du Yan couldn't help but smile secretly, but he continued to look at him calmly. "Yes, it was the female customer who this child touched!" The waitress finally raised her hand and gritted her teeth to point at Han Bing, who was talking in a low voice with her mother. When she saw Han Bing's eyes looking over in a daze after hearing her words, , she couldn't help turning her head, but she didn't dare to look at this child who was not even taller than her chest. "You're lying, you're lying!" Han Bing, who only understood at this moment, suddenly let out a sharp scream. Regardless of her mother's tight grip on her arm, her whole body jumped towards the waitress. " Why are you lying! Why don't you tell the truth? You saw it, she touched me!" "You're telling lies after all," said Sister Ma, who was sitting on the chair. She said something coldly, but as soon as she finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed before her eyes, and half a cup of cold ice cream hit her in the face! "Oh! You little bastard!" the woman screamed, smearing the ice cream randomly, but it was all over her face. "You scold my mother, I'm going to beat you!" Han Qiushi turned to Director Jiao because he was distracted.The moment he passed away, Han Bing's small body, which was being held tightly in Qian Su's arms, suddenly jumped out of her mother's arms, and followed her petite body in aqua blue school uniform skirt to the front. The woman who was smearing the ice cream on her face carelessly rushed towards her, and Qian Su couldn't help but let out a scream! A powerful arm suddenly stretched out, and Han Bing's body was immediately hugged. Just as the girl screamed and kicked again and let out a burst of unwilling screams, her body was suddenly held tightly in a hug. Du Yan hugged the struggling Han Bing tightly. At this moment, he forgot where he was and that what he was holding in his arms was actually a girl who was more than ten years younger than he remembered. Forget everything that is happening around you. But just for a moment, Du Yan came to his senses. He handed Han Bing to Qian Su, who stretched out his hands hurriedly. Then he turned around with a gloomy look, pointed at Qian Su and his son with anger, and shouted at Han Qiushi. Director Jiao scolded and walked over. "What are you doing?" Director Jiao's wife, who was hurriedly helping Sister Ma wipe her face, first noticed something was wrong. While supporting Sister Ma, she shouted to Du Yan who was walking over, "Manager Huang, please stop this." Little hooligan!" Manager Huang looked at Du Yan in shock. Although he didn't know who this young man was, he had to listen to the words of the director's wife, so he shouted sternly at the security guards standing around: "You are still stunned. Why didn't you stop him?" The security guards, who were confused and confused for a moment, finally came to their senses, and they immediately swarmed towards Du Yan! "Everyone, stop!" A high-pitched scolding came from a distance. The voice was crisp and loud, but it also revealed unconcealable anger. Looking towards the place where the sound came from, the onlookers couldn't help but their eyes lit up. As they passed through the crowd, three figures with different temperaments, but all extremely beautiful, appeared on the aisle. Du Yan was a little strange when he saw the three women walking over. Zhao Xiaoyun's appearance is not surprising. As Qiao Luowei's agent in Hexi, this female bodyguard who originally only had to think about wielding swords and guns now has to fight with various financial statements and profit lists more often. But what surprised Du Yan was that Miss Ou, who had been missing since arriving in Hexi, was also with Zhao Xiaoyun. The other person who surprised Du Yan was the waiter Xiao Zhu whom he had met at Qixiashan Hotel before. However, Xiao Zhu now looked like a white-collar beauty. No one would have thought of this. Just two years ago she was a cautious waiter in a hotel in Qixia Mountain. Seeing Du Yan, a strange smile flashed across Zhao Xiaoyun's fresh, makeup-free cheeks, which made other people's eyes light up, but in the eyes of Du Yan, who was extremely familiar with her, a strange smile appeared on his back. A breath of cool air. Zhao Xiaoyun never said anything about Du Yan and Su Qian's engagement, but her lack of words didn't mean that she didn't have any knots in her heart. Thinking of Zhao Xiaoyun's sometimes violent actions, Du Yan even regretted agreeing to Qiao Luowei's marriage. This trip to Tongyang is over. "Manager Huang, what is this?" Director Jiao asked Manager Huang with a raised eyebrow. But before he finished speaking, Sister Ma, who finally wiped the ice cream off her face, suddenly let out an affectionate shout that made others feel numb: "Miss Ou, are you Miss Ou?!" As people watched in astonishment, Sister Ma pushed away Director Jiao's wife who was still supporting her, and took a few steps to Miss Ou who was standing behind Zhao Xiaoyun. She hesitated for a moment, and then tightly held Miss Ou who had a look of helplessness on her face. hand. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 81 Beauty Between Joy and Anger "Miss Ou, I didn't expect to meet you here." Sister Ma stretched out her sticky hand and shook it with Miss Ou. Then she seemed to feel that Miss Ou immediately let go because of the stickiness on her face. "Oh, Miss Ou saw this, really. " "Are you Sister Ma, the lover of Director Miao of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce?" A smile appeared on Miss Ou's face after thinking for a moment, "Oh, I didn't expect to see you in Hexi. " "Oh, it's rare that Miss Ou still remembers our old Miao," Sister Ma's face, which was slightly embarrassed by the situation in front of her, immediately showed an excited smile, although seeing the family not far away made her feel happy. She felt a little angry, but soon she seemed to have forgotten and continued talking to Miss Ou, "Miss Ou, I haven't seen you for a while, why are you here in Hexi this time? Oh, you don't know, right? Our old Miao has also come to Hexi to work. "Director Miao has also come to Hexi. Is that Gaosheng?" Miss Ou asked with a smile. At the same time, she glanced at Zhao Xiaoyun next to her and saw that although Zhao Xiaoyun seemed to be Standing there and listening to them talking, but her expressions didn't seem to be the case, Miss Ou sighed helplessly: This Xiaoyun, when she saw Du Yan, she really didn't care about anything. "Sister Ma, what's going on?" Miss Ou asked deliberately pretending to be confused. In fact, she and Zhao Xiaoyun had been here long ago and already knew what happened. What surprised them was that although there was no Thinking that the little girl had such a fierce temper, what surprised them even more was that Du Yan, who had never acted rashly, behaved beyond their expectations at this time. Zhao Xiaoyun still remembered Du Yan's expression when he walked towards Director Jiao. She had a feeling that if she hadn't stopped the security guards in time, she really doesn't know what Du Yan would have done! Why is Du Yan like this? Zhao Xiaoyun couldn't understand, so seeing Sister Ma deliberately fawning over Miss Ou, Zhao Xiaoyun only wanted to ask Du Yan what was going on. "Sister Ma, this is" Miss Ou looked around again as if she didn't understand, and at the same time she slightly winked at Zhao Xiaoyun. Zhao Xiaoyun frowned slightly and asked Manager Huang: "Manager Huang, what's going on?" "Assistant Zhao, the thing is like this, this little girl" Manager Huang was not fully awake because of the accident before. But he only focused on looking at Director Jiao's face. In his mind, although Miss Ou who accompanied Assistant Zhao seemed to have a good background, and could even make friends with Ms. Ma who made Director Jiao respectful, but after all, It was something far away. For him, the most important thing was to satisfy Director Jiao in front of him. Listening to Manager Huang's introduction, Zhao Xiaoyun couldn't help but look at Han Bing, but her eyes only flickered Han Bing's immature body to look at Qian Su, and then she couldn't help but glance at Du Yan next to her. It¡¯s no wonder that Zhao Xiaoyun is worried. Qian Su is a leading actor in the Hexi Provincial Song and Dance Troupe. Regardless of appearance and figure, it can be said that he is definitely the best choice. Even if he already has a child, his beauty is not reduced at all, but even more youthful. There is a mature charm that the astringent girl does not have. Because of this, Zhao Xiaoyun can't help but think a little wrong when thinking about Du Yan's consistent virtue. "Assistant Zhao, I think our mall should hold this child accountable," Manager Huang pointed at the waitress standing not far behind him. The clothes are stained. " "Is that so?" Zhao Xiaoyun looked at the waiter. Although she just glanced at it, the young girl couldn't help but tremble. After all, in the girl's mind, even the boss of the high-ranking shopping mall Those who deal with it seriously show what kind of character they are. "Yes, I saw she met that customer," the waitress first looked at Manager Huang, then at Sister Ma who was still chatting with Ou Xiaowan, and then nodded timidly to Zhao Xiaoyun. . "You're talking nonsense, she was the one who touched me!" Han Bing shouted again. She tried hard to struggle out of her mother's arms, but this time she was held tightly by Qian Su. At the same time, Qian Su's pair showed anger. He looked at the girl with his eyes, making the girl lower her head with guilt. "How do you, a comrade, educate your children?" Director Jiao scolded Han Qiushi sternly, "Look at this child. Not only did he lie, he was also so naughty. He actually hit someone with ice cream. Do you know who he hit? ! You must be responsible for this! " Director Jiao's voice became more and more intense. It would be a shame not to try to make a good impression in front of Sister Ma at this time. Sister Ma¡¯s husband, Director Miao, was originally the director of a department under the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. This time he was transferred from the capital to Hexi Province and served as the deputy director of the Hexi Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce, which was considered a promotion. Because of this, Director Miao became Director Jiao¡¯s immediate boss. For such a person,Of course, Director Jiao and his wife, who are the superiors in the capital with great hands and eyes, must try their best to fawn over them. Director Jiao's wife originally accompanied Sister Ma alone to go shopping today, but Director Jiao "coincidentally" met them on the way. , and then the couple accompanied Sister Ma to Huayang. In other words, they came this time to prepare to use their wallets as a carry-on for the wife of the deputy director of the Provincial Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Sister Ma¡¯s husband, Director Miao, was originally the director of a department under the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. This time he was transferred from the capital to Hexi Province and served as the deputy director of the Hexi Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce, which was considered a promotion. Because of this, Director Miao became Director Jiao's immediate superior. Of course Director Jiao and his wife had to try their best to fawn over such a superior from the capital. Today, it was Director Jiao's wife who accompanied Sister Ma alone. They were shopping, but Director Jiao "coincidentally" met them on the way, and then the couple accompanied Sister Ma to Huayang. In other words, they came this time to prepare for the Provincial Industry and Commerce Bureau to feel at ease. The deputy director's wife came as a purse. It's just that they never expected to encounter such a thing. When Sister Ma was trying on a coat, she turned around because she was too happy, and the coat she was wearing accidentally fell on someone who happened to be passing by. On the ice cream cup in Han Bing¡¯s hand! But even though the clothes are ruined now, as long as he speaks out like this for Sister Ma, it is a credit. What's more, what surprised Director Jiao was that Sister Ma, who had always been arrogant in their eyes, actually treated the young woman who appeared later. It was very affectionate and even vaguely meant to please, which made him even more curious and excited at the same time. Could it be that today was really a good day for him? Maybe not only can he show off in front of Sister Ma, but he might also take this opportunity to curry favor with someone bigger. While Director Jiao was talking, he did not forget to glance at Du Yan who was standing aside. Although Zhao Xiaoyun stopped the security guard by shouting, he thought it might be because she had just arrived and didn't know what was going on. Although Director Jiao was He felt a little dissatisfied, but seeing that this young woman with a hot figure came with Ou Xiaowan, he didn't show too much dissatisfaction. But even so, Director Jiao still pointed at Du Yan and said to Manager Huang: "There is also this person who helps them make trouble unreasonably. Manager Huang, look at the people who have been let in. You Huayang are from Tongyang's business community." Representative, don't you pay attention to your own image? " "I said, what do you mean?" Du Yan put his hands in his pockets and looked at Director Jiao, "I am a customer who comes in to make a purchase. What right do you have to care about who I am? "Where did you come from?" Director Jiao said angrily to Manager Huang, "Mr. Huang, look at it." "Director Jiao, don't be angry. I'll have him kicked out right now," Manager Huang said to the man standing next to him. The security guards who were standing there shouted in a low voice, "Why are you still standing there, why don't you kick this person out!" Upon hearing the sound, the security guards immediately stepped forward. Seeing this scene, Zhao Xiaoyun, who had been suppressing the anger in his heart, finally couldn't bear it anymore. Erupted! "Stop!" Zhao Xiaoyun roared angrily, and then she turned around and stared at the stunned Manager Huang. "Huang Minghao, you are so brave. This is how you deal with the problem? Who gave you the power to drive away customers?" "?!" Zhao Xiaoyun's roar made everyone's eyes focus on her, and after yelling, Zhao Xiaoyun glared at Du Yan who was standing next to him! If it wasn¡¯t for you, why would this have happened? Zhao Xiaoyun was thinking with annoyance. At the same time, she looked at Qian Su and her son next to her with a little suspicion, and thought to herself, if you let me know that you really have some evil intentions to help this family, let's see how I deal with you! Manager Huang looked at Zhao Xiaoyun in astonishment. He did not expect that Assistant Zhao, who had never interfered with him in the specific operations of the Commercial Building Group, although he was usually a bit strict, would suddenly and uncharacteristically scold him in public. ??And it seemed that she was very dissatisfied with the way she handled things, which surprised Manager Huang and made him feel extremely embarrassed! Speaking of which, Manager Huang didn't take Zhao Xiaoyun seriously as Qiao Luowei's assistant. Although he knew that this young girl must be Qiao Luowei's confidant, he felt that he was quite proud because he had been in the business management industry for many years, but Zhao Xiaoyun, after all, He is a close confidant of the boss, and Zhao Xiaoyun has never interfered in his work very much, so Manager Huang can still accept such an imperial envoy weighing on him. But now that Zhao Xiaoyun scolded him in public, not only did he feel that his prestige in front of his employees had been hit, but more importantly, he felt that Zhao Xiaoyun obviously wanted to take the opportunity to take away the power in Huayang from him! "Assistant Zhao, if you have any problems with my handling, you can raise them later, but I hope you won't hinder my current work!" Manager Huang said with an ugly face. Speaking of which, he was Qiao Luo??Poached from a coastal city with a high salary, relying on many years of rich experience in business operations, he believes that if he and Zhao Xiaoyun have a head-on conflict, Qiao Luowei will eventually support him after considering the prospects of Huayang. . If you are lucky, you might be able to take the opportunity to squeeze out Zhao Xiaoyun, the imperial minister. Although Zhao Xiaoyun has never interfered with him, he still feels unhappy after all. What's more, after today's incident, he and he It is impossible for Zhao Xiaoyun to restore the previous peaceful cooperative relationship. "Your job is to ensure the healthy development of Huayang Group, but the way you are dealing with the problem now is damaging Huayang's image. Your appearance makes people doubt whether you are qualified for the position of general manager. Regarding this, I will tell you Mr. Qiao reported it. " Zhao Xiaoyun looked at Manager Huang coldly. In fact, there was no big conflict between her and Manager Huang, but for some reason, seeing Du Yan standing up for that family today, Zhao Xiaoyun felt that there was one. This indescribable irritation may be because Qian Su is unusually beautiful, or maybe it is because of the worries about Du Yan and Su Qian getting their marriage certificates. Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly couldn't control his emotions. In this way, Manager Huang¡¯s actions became the best target for Zhao Xiaoyun, who has been unable to find an outlet to vent his anger! Zhao Xiaoyun¡¯s words made Manager Huang a little stunned. He didn¡¯t expect that Zhao Xiaoyun would actually say something serious as soon as she opened her mouth. Although she was just an assistant, she was sent directly by Qiao Luowei! Zhao Xiaoyun¡¯s scolding made Manager Huang¡¯s face turn red, and Director Jiao¡¯s expression next to him had turned ugly. If he hadn¡¯t seen that Sister Ma seemed to be familiar with the young woman who came with Zhao Xiaoyun, he would have been furious. Even if you have a backer, you should still understand that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. Now in front of so many people, it seems that he is scolding Manager Huang, but Director Jiao feels that every word Zhao Xiaoyun says is like a slap in the face. superior! However, just when Director Jiao was about to speak, Miss Ou's words made him shut up immediately: "Xiaoyun, come here, let me introduce you." Zhao Xiaoyun didn't even look at the angry Huang next to him. The manager and Director Jiao, who looked ugly, turned around and walked towards Miss Ou, but after taking only two steps, she suddenly stopped and turned around and said to Du Yan, who had his hands in his pockets as if watching the fun: "Still standing there doing this. Well, didn¡¯t you hear Sister Xiaowan?¡± As soon as Zhao Xiaoyun said this, everyone looked at Du Yan. No one expected that this young man who was thought to be nosy turned out to have a close relationship with these people. I know the young woman! Xiao Zhu, who was always standing by, whispered an order to a staff member next to him, and the security guards immediately began to maintain order. As the crowd of onlookers was slowly evacuated, Miss Ou smiled slightly and looked at her, although she also had a smile on her face. Sister Ma, who was smiling but slightly embarrassed, introduced Zhao Xiaoyun. However, when Du Yan was introduced, Miss Ou paused for a moment, and then said in a slightly calm tone: "Director Du and Mr. Song are good friends." After hearing Miss Ou's words, Sister Ma's face froze. "Mr. Song in Miss Ou's mouth is naturally Song Jiayi. Song Jiayi behaves in a low-key manner, but this does not mean that he is an unnoticed person. On the contrary, because he is not within the system, he has less worries. Song Jiayi often behaves more freely and casually. Therefore, because of this, Young Master Song is On the contrary, his reputation in the circles of the capital became even louder, but what people often saw was the arrogant and domineering appearance of the eldest son of the Song family, but few people really understood what kind of person he was behind the scenes. But even if it is just a superficial impression, for people like Sister Ma and his wife, Young Master Song is definitely a high-ranking figure. Otherwise, Sister Ma would not be Song Jiayi's semi-public lover. They all have to make friends with each other. And now when she heard Miss Ou say that Du Yan was Song Jiayi's good friend, Sister Ma couldn't help but feel her heart beat. Looking at Sister Ma's suspicious look, Du Yan's expression was cold. He turned back to Han Qiushi, who was standing with his wife and daughter behind him. Although his face was calm, there was anger in his eyes and waved, "Qiushi, come here," and then He glanced at Han Bing and said, "Bring the children here." Qian Su looked at her husband in surprise. She had always been surprised that this young man who looked slightly fashionable in clothes came forward to help her, although she realized that she might know her husband. , but a series of things left her no time to ask Han Qiushi. Now she saw that this young man, who was much younger than her husband and her husband, called her husband by his name in a loud voice. Although Qian Su was a little dissatisfied, she saw her husband smelling Sheng immediately walked over, and Qian Su hugged Han Bing and followed silently. Looking at Han Bing who was lying in Qian Su¡¯s arms and looking at him, Du Yan tried his best to calm down, and then he asked in a soft voice: "Can you tell uncle, what is your name?" After asking this question, Du Yan was stunned for a moment and then felt sad, because he suddenly I thought that when I met Han Bing for the first time many years later, I asked exactly this question. "My name is Han Bing," Han Bing glanced at his mother and replied. She suddenly said, "Uncle, do you believe me? It's really not me who soiled her clothes." Du Yan nodded silently, and he said to that The waitress standing far outside the circle took a look, and then said to the gloomy-faced Manager Huang: "I remember that Huayang has installed a complete set of surveillance systems. This is a high-end clothing area, and surveillance must also be installed. As long as It should be enough to tune it out. " Manager Huang couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. Not many businesses have installed monitoring systems at this time. Huayang is the first large commercial building in Tongyang to install a complete monitoring system. Regarding this, even Huayang Some employees within Yang were not very clear about it, but Du Yan not only knew it, but also clearly mentioned the specific location, which made Manager Huang couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xiaoyun. "What surveillance system? It's not necessary," Director Jiao said with an ugly face at first. Then he looked at Sister Ma and saw the embarrassed look on Sister Ma's face. Director Jiao was even more sure that this young man must be The origin is not small, otherwise why would even Deputy Director Miao's lover look so hesitant? "It's all a small misunderstanding, why bother?" "This dress should be very expensive. If we can't find out the real one, The person responsible is Huayang who suffered the loss." Du Yan looked at Director Jiao with a cold expression. "Or, since you don't have to pay for compensation anyway, it doesn't matter who is responsible?" Director Jiao's face darkened when he heard this. He didn't expect it. This young man was so disrespectful. He glanced at Sister Ma quickly and saw that Sister Ma's face also darkened. Director Jiao couldn't help but feel a little confident in his heart: "Director Du, right? Who are you?" "Which unit is important?" Du Yan looked at Director Jiao and smiled brightly, "Who is right or wrong does not depend on the unit or position, but on the facts." After Du Yan said this, he turned to look at Manager Huang who had been silent. He looked at it and said, "If you check the surveillance video, you will know who is who." "You have no right to check the surveillance video at will!" Manager Huang replied loudly. He did not expect that this young man who suddenly appeared would do such a trick. What Zhao Xiaoyun had made him angry before broke out at this time, "The surveillance video is for our internal use, and we have no obligation to show it to you." "Then do I have the right to see it?" Zhao Xiaoyun asked sternly, "Now that someone is targeting you If you have any questions about the handling, then I will check the surveillance video as Assistant General Qiao!" Manager Huang's face showed anger. He did not expect that Zhao Xiaoyun not only repeatedly struggled with him, but even directly confronted him. On! "You just believe something without checking the surveillance video. That's a problem in itself," Du Yan said coldly, his eyes glanced at the uneasy waitress in the distance, and then he suddenly turned around and said, Keep an eye on Sister Ma. "No matter who it is, you just accuse a child. Do you think it's no big deal? I've definitely seen the video today! If we find that things are not consistent with what you said, no one can think of letting it go like this!" After hearing Du Yan's words, Sister Ma's face turned pale. Although she didn't know who this arrogant young man was, she could see from the look in his eyes that he was obviously serious. Then she thought about what Miss Ou said. The young man was Song Jiayi's friend, and Sister Ma immediately wondered if she had offended someone in the government office whom she could not offend. "But before adjusting the monitoring, let me ask again, are you sure it was this kid who touched you?" Du Yan's stern eyes glanced around. At this moment, the waitress who had been uneasy suddenly cried "Wow" Get up! "I don't know, I don't know anything, I didn't see what happened at all!" The waitress covered her face with her hands and cried, trying to lean on the shoulders of the companions next to her, but the people next to her were hiding aside. Feeling empty, she couldn't help but squat on the ground and cover her face with her hands, crying softly. "Don't you see why you said it was this child? Do you know how hurt you are to such a young child by saying that?!" Du Yan was not moved by her cries. These people were afraid that they would be harmed. When he irresponsibly accuses a child who is only a few years old, he has actually abandoned the conscience in his heart. Thinking of the helplessness and grievance on Han Bing's face when he was accused by these people, he couldn't help but feel a burst of unspeakable sadness and anger in his heart. The shadow of Han Bing's tragic and sad fate in the previous life always lingered in his heart. When Du Yan saw Han Bing again, he had made up his mind to do it no matter what.?It will make her feel a little hurt and aggrieved again! "I really didn't see anything, I was" The waitress raised her head and looked at Manager Huang, but she saw the gloomy-faced Manager Huang looking away, which made her heart suddenly sink. . "I have nothing more to ask." Du Yan glanced coldly at Sister Ma, whose face was red and white. Although he didn't see what happened, based on his understanding of Han Bing, he believed that if it was true Han Bing will bravely admit if she makes a mistake, because she is that kind of girl and will never be timid because of her mistakes. And judging from the current situation, whether to adjust the monitoring is completely unimportant at this time. "Huang, Mr. Huang" The girl was frightened and looked to Manager Huang for help. She wanted to say something, but Zhao Xiaoyun interrupted her: "You don't have to say anything. Now you go to the finance department to settle the bill. We won't keep him." A liar." A look of surprise appeared on the girl's face. She looked at Zhao Xiaoyun in disbelief. When she was about to plead with Manager Huang in fear, she saw Manager Huang's face turned dark and said, "Huh!" With a sound, no one paid attention and turned around to leave. Director Jiao's expression was extremely ugly at this time. He really didn't expect that this bastard who appeared out of nowhere would not save any face for himself. He was a dignified director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau of a provincial city, but he was reprimanded by such a young boy. This kind of embarrassment made Director Jiao really want to fall out immediately, but when he looked at Sister Ma's face next to him, although it was also as heavy as water, it still remained calm. Without saying a word, Director Jiao finally understood that it looked like he was going to lose his face today! Du Yan ignored Sister Ma and Director Jiao's anger and dare not speak. He knelt down and looked at Han Bing, who had slipped from his mother's arms to the ground and was looking at him. With his innocent eyes full of spirit, Du Yan imagined that when he saw her for the first time many years later, her stunning dancing posture would be stunning because of her skillful skills. Du Yan first closed his eyes slightly to allow himself to come to reality. Then he said to Han Bing: "Girls should be quieter, don't fight at every turn, and don't splash on others at every turn, you know?" The corners of Han Bing's mouth turned down slightly, and then he felt reluctant. Nodding slightly willingly. "Well, Miss Ou, we have something else to do, so we won't delay you." Taking this opportunity, Miss Ma whispered to Miss Ou. She never expected that she would finally leave the capital. She originally thought that her old man had become a province. The deputy director of the provincial department finally no longer has to hold his tail between his legs to show off his authority, but who would have thought that he would be embarrassed in a rural place like Hexi. Seeing Du Yan crouching down and having a serious conversation with Han Bing, clearly not wanting to talk to him at all, Sister Ma really wanted to crawl in. Du Yan kept talking to Han Bing in a low voice. It wasn't until Han Qiushi coughed softly beside him that he stood up and turned to face Zhao Xiaoyun and Miss Ou who were already standing in front of him. "You are so majestic today." Zhao Xiaoyun looked at Du Yan with a serious expression. She still had to resolve the sudden conflict with Manager Huang, although in Zhao Xiaoyun's heart, she thought that Huayang's current achievements were actually very big. Partly due to the suggestions Du Yan had provided them before, but because it involved complicated personnel matters, she still felt a little headache. "For you, Huayang may have to change its general manager." Zhao Xiaoyun's words made Han Qiushi and his wife feel a little bit worried Although they live in Taihua, they often meet in Tongyang due to Han Qiushi's work. Naturally, they are very familiar with Huayang Commercial Building, which is known as the largest in Tongyang today. Although I don¡¯t know who the boss behind Huayang is, I can guess that without a strong background, how could the Huayang Group be established? But now this young girl who is said to be called Assistant Zhao actually said that she wants to change a general manager just for Du Yan. Even though she is indifferent to fame and fortune, Han Qiushi and his wife can't help but be shocked by the meaning of these words. Especially Han Qiushi, his unexpected encounter with Du Yan when he was in Shencheng made him seem to see a glimmer of hope. However, Du Yan had to return to Taihua early for some reason, which caused them to lose contact for a while. At the beginning, after the provincial business delegation returned to Hexi, Han Qiushi's situation was not very bad. After all, Du Yan's performance at the trade fair was noticeable, so although he was already disgusted with Han Qiushi, he was still in a bad situation. No one has done anything to him yet. But with no news from Du Yan, Han Qiushi's life gradually became sad. Especially recently, Han Qiushi was simply sent to the logistics department of the hall to help. During this period, Han Qiushi wanted to have more contact with Du Yan, but his always upright character made him prefer to silently bear the pressure from all sides, and not only remained outwardly friendly in front of his family,?Looking so indifferent and indifferent, he is even more unwilling to contact Du Yan for his own affairs and ask for help easily. But what he didn't expect was that it was such a coincidence that he met Du Yan again in Tongyang. After listening to Zhao Xiaoyun's words and thinking of the behavior of Sister Ma and the others just now, Han Qiushi's already cold heart became cold. It couldn't help but get hot again. Seeing the unhappy look on Zhao Xiaoyun's face, Du Yan secretly wondered what was wrong with her, but at the same time he laughed indifferently: "I said that your general manager Huayang is not very good at even this little bit. Crisis public relations can't solve it. I really don't know how they were invited." Hearing Du Yan's words, Xiao Zhu, who was standing next to her, immediately showed uneasiness. She winked at Du Yan, but Zhao Xiaoyun glared at her. Same. "If you have any objections to this candidate, you can tell Mr. Qiao," Zhao Xiaoyun showed a narrow-minded smile, "The selection is decided by Mr. Qiao." After hearing what Zhao Xiaoyun said, Du Yan rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. He coughed, but from this point he also discovered some problems in Qiao Luowei's employment. At least there were still some areas where Qiao Luowei failed to fully understand how to manage a large business group like Huayang that was almost ahead of its time. Take hold. It seems that he really has to find time to have a good talk with Qiao Luowei, Du Yan thought in his heart. Then he nodded slightly to Miss Ou, who had been looking at them with a smile: "Hello, Miss Ou." "Director Du." Miss Ou smiled and stretched out her hand to shake Du Yan's hand, and then she politely said to the man standing aside. Han Qiushi's family looked over. "Let me introduce you." Du Yan took the opportunity to introduce both parties, but what made him a little puzzled was that Zhao Xiaoyun seemed to be somewhat indifferent to Han Qiushi's family, if not very friendly, but at this time he was caring. Apart from these, when he saw Miss Ou, he had already thought that something might be going on. Sure enough, just after he finished introducing both parties, Miss Ou smiled at him and said, "Director Du came at the right time. Some of your friends are also wanting to meet you." Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 82: A Brief Discussion of Hexi Zhao Xiaoyun knew that Du Yan came to Tongyang, but she didn't expect that the meeting would be like this. Although he would never admit it, Zhao Xiaoyun did want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to get together with Du Yan, but looking at the mess in front of him, Zhao Xiaoyun's mood could not get better. Manager Huang's angry departure obviously caused a stir in the mall, and some department managers were talking about it. After all, Manager Huang had been in Huayang for a long time, and although everyone knew that Zhao Xiaoyun had a high position and was sent here by Mr. Qiao, Representative, but after all, he usually never takes care of things. Now seeing Manager Huang walking away, the people below can't help but feel a little at a loss, not knowing whose lap to embrace in this kind of storm. Although Zhao Xiaoyun was full of regrets, she had to solve the problems in front of her. In fact, what really annoyed her was that Du Yan didn't seem to feel any guilt at all for the situation he had caused. On the contrary, he talked with the family very happy. Du Yan knew that he didn't have much time. He was already prepared to meet some important people when he came to Tongyang this time. But after meeting Miss Ou, he realized that maybe the person he wanted to meet might be more important than he thought before. Be a little heavier. Although Miss Ou had to leave the capital and go to Hexi because Song Jiayi was about to get married, as far as Du Yan knew, the two people were not only disconnected, but the news revealed by Zhao Xiaoyun that Miss Ou might settle abroad made Du Yan realize that Maybe things here are not as simple as they appear. At this time, many people do not know how much potential the Song family has in the country. Although various gossips about the powerful class have gradually surfaced and become known to the world, the Song family has always been hidden among these many people. Behind the curtain of power, even in the developed information age many years later, the Song family has always maintained an unusually low profile. Compared with other red families, the Song family is obviously much calmer and more sober. Although they are also pursuing wealth, the Song family knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and even more clearly how to ensure the safety of their wealth, so in a few years While the descendants of the previous group of powerful people were still frantically amassing money by any means necessary, the Song family was concentrating on its previous development in a down-to-earth manner. "Now, this move that may be meaningless in the eyes of some people seems to have paid off. As they take solid steps towards the inland, the Song family, which has been dormant and low-key, seems to be showing signs of showing off its ambitions. And at this moment, Miss Ou is leaving the country and settling overseas? Thinking of this, Du Yan couldn't help but secretly feel sorry for the long-term vision of those capable people in the Song family. A family can always stand firm, and even in the face of major changes that have not happened in thousands of years in modern times, it can still not only retain its Yuan Qi can even judge the situation and respond to the situation. It contains not only the wisdom of the contemporary elders of the Song family, but also the understanding and understanding of the harsh world of the world for generations of the family. Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little lost in thought, until he felt his sleeve being gently pulled. "Brother, brother, dad is talking to you." Han Bing muttered unhappily. He saw his dad talking to this big brother before but got no response. Han Bing, who always regarded his father as the greatest person in the world, Bing felt a little intolerable. "Bingbing, don't talk nonsense, call me uncle." Han Qiushi said to his daughter with a smile. At this time, he had some expectations for Du Yan, and because he was upright in his bones, he was not willing to rely on him so casually. But seeing his daughter so protective Thinking of herself and the family behind her, Han Qiushi had to face reality. "Director Du, don't worry, this child is used to being spoiled at home." "It's nothing, this child is quite cute." Du Yan said and gently pulled up Han Bing. Touching her soft and delicate skin with his small hands, Du Yan couldn't help but think of the little fairy who showed amazing charm in front of him many years later. "Qiushi, I came to the provincial capital this time to do some things. I'm a bit busy, so let's not talk in detail." Du Yan smiled slightly at Han Qiushi and noticed that although Han Qiushi looked calm, he still did not hide the disappointment in his eyes. Du Yan Yan took out a pen and paper from his bag and wrote down a phone number. "I said before that I would transfer you to Pingling, but I delayed it because I had a lot of things to do. In this way, you can call me in two days. , let¡¯s talk in detail then, as long as you don¡¯t mind that our Pingling is a small county.¡± Taking the piece of paper handed over by Du Yan, a hanging stone immediately fell in Han Qiushi¡¯s heart. Although he worked in the provincial department before. , but he had long been marginalized because he was out of tune with his surroundings. What's more, after his trip to Shencheng, Han Qiushi's life in the provincial department was even more difficult. Although Pingling was indeed a county town and the provincial department could not be compared at all, Han Qiushi had already When he was in Shencheng, he knew that although Director Du was young, he had a lot of strength behind him, so for him, being able to get in touch with Du Yan again might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "Du ?"Since you are a busy man, I won't waste your time." Han actually held Han Bing in one hand and stretched out his hand to hold Du Yan's, and then he told his daughter in his arms, "Come, say goodbye to uncle." . " Han Bing's big black and white eyes were staring at Du Yan. She hesitated silently when she heard her father's words, then stretched out her hand and waved slightly towards Du Yan, but she said: "Goodbye, brother. " Hearing Han Bing's call with a childish voice, Du Yan felt his body go limp and almost fell to the ground. He smiled bitterly and stopped Han Qiushi from scolding his daughter, but he couldn't help but think to himself: "This little goblin is going to do it now. With such a powerful destructive power, no wonder that many years later when he faced the grown-up girl, he would always lose his armor and be defeated. " After nodding slightly to Qian Su, and watching Han Qiushi and his family leaving each other, Du Yan felt a surge of emotion that he couldn't explain clearly. As a human being again, he met Han Qiushi and his wife, whom he had never had the chance to meet, and even more Meeting Han Bing, who was just a child in this era, does this mean that he can change the tragic ending of this family? Looking at the family walking away, Du Yan secretly made up his mind. Determination! Ms. Ou¡¯s current identity is the commissioner of Huachang Company¡¯s office in Hexi Province. This position sounds quite intimidating, but in fact she has nothing to do all day long. However, Ms. Ou seems to be very knowledgeable. Yangzhou cannot be compared with coastal cities like the capital Donghai, but fortunately it has a long history and endless places of interest, so Miss Ou seems to spend most of her time in various leisurely enjoyments, at least she is not in Huachang He works at the group's office in Tongyang and rarely shows up in Huayang. Sitting in the car driven by Miss Ou, Du Yan silently looked at the scenery passing by, and looked slightly sideways from time to time. He could see it. Although Miss Ou was not very outstanding, the look on her face showed a tactful temperament. Du Yan remembered that the last time she took Miss Ou's car was in the capital. It was also that time when she heard from Song Jiayi that Miss Ou was about to leave after being beaten. News from the capital. Miss Ou is the kind of victim who is abandoned in a typical big family marriage. This thought flashed through Du Yan's mind, but then he drove these things out of his mind. First of all, this is his own private matter, and more importantly. Yes, he knew that the person he was going to meet this time was likely to have a crucial impact on his future plans. The car drove onto a mountain road that Du Yan was familiar with. He knew that this was the road leading to the Qixia Mountain Hotel. , he had walked through here more than a year ago, and now he was here again. The car drove into the courtyard of Qixiashan Hotel, which always seemed so quiet. From a distance, Du Yan stood in the corridor of the courtyard with his hands behind his back. Song Jiayi came to the car. Du Yan had just gotten out of the car. Song Jiayi, who had a slight smile on his face, had already raised his hands and applauded slightly, making a welcoming gesture: "Warmly welcome Director Du to visit Qixia Mountain. " Listening to Song Jiayi's witty words, Du Yan couldn't help but look at him. Song Jiayi seemed to be in good spirits and in a good mood. After saying this wise words, he walked up and stretched out his hand to hold Du Yan's hand. "Jiayi, you are in good spirits. Is this harming me or harming me? Not to mention in front of you, Young Master Song, I don¡¯t dare to call myself a leader in front of anyone in this Qixia Mountain Hotel. "Du Yan smiled and shook hands with Song Jiayi, but although what he said was a joke, it was also true. Du Yan knew deeply that not only the people who could live here, but even the service staff who worked here may have backgrounds Not shallow. After hearing Du Yan's words, Song Jiayi didn't respond. He put his arms around Miss Ou's waist, who walked around the car, and pointed towards Du Yan, "Let's go inside." explain. " Seeing Song Jiayi hugging Miss Ou without hesitation, Du Yan felt emotional in his heart. Of course Song Jiayi did this because he was outside the system and didn't need to worry too much, but it also shows that this Qixiashan Hotel It is like another circle far away from the outside world. In the eyes of this circle, the secular customs and legal norms that require ordinary people to abide by and respect seem so small and insignificant, and the root of all this comes from power! So quiet, walking on the red carpet where no footsteps could be heard, it seemed that Song Jiayi seemed to be a little more restrained. Although he was still talking to Du Yan along the way, his voice was slightly louder. "Xiao Wan, please go and take a rest first. "Song Jiayi said softly to Ou Xiaowan. Compared with his rough appearance, Song Jiayi showed a rare tenderness at this time. Miss Ou responded gently, and then said softly.Yan Yan nodded slightly and turned around to walk to another room. "Let's go in, there is someone waiting for you inside," Song Jiayi said to Du Yan, then put his hand on Du Yan's shoulder and smiled at him, "It's okay, you know me too, we are old acquaintances." Hearing what Song Jiayi said, Du Yan felt a little bit He became curious, and as the door opened, when he walked into the room and saw Yang Weiquan sitting on the sofa in the room, Du Yan had a hint of surprise on his face, but he already understood in his heart. Things should be like this. As the executive deputy governor, Yang Weiquan has been in Hexi for almost two years. During this period, although Yang Weiquan can be said to be conscientious, he has also followed the rules. This is different from the vigorous and resolute manner he used to work in other places. The style is completely different. ??Obviously, for Yang Weiquan, his previous performance at work was to get to his current position as soon as possible. Once he achieves his goal, he needs to wait for the opportunity honestly. Although Gao Ke has just taken over the province for a short period of time, and it seems that Yang Weiquan has little chance of ascending to the throne of governor in a short time, as long as Gao Ke is old and has shown enterprising spirit, many people know what Gao Ke is thinking. It will never end with one term as governor. If Gao Ke wants to realize his political revenge early, he must start from now. Moreover, Gao Ke is smart and cannot fail to see that Yang Weiquan has been dormant in Hexi for such a long time. Naturally, his eyes are not only focused on his province. Even the Yang family has been preparing for him to take over as the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Hexi Province in the future. Because of this, once Gao Ke makes a move in Hexi Province, Yang Weiquan cannot just wait for the opportunity. With Zhang Wenliang's actions in Taihua, the Yang family has obviously become aware of Sui Jianchao's intentions, and may even have discovered it. The shadow of Wang Bingchen, who was closely related to Sui Jianchao, was included in it. Wang Bingchen, like Yang Weiquan, can be said to be a popular candidate among the red descendants who are expected to reach the top in the future. However, Wang Bingchen has always been dormant in the circles of local governments and ministries, and many people are not familiar with him. Yang Weiquan was sent outside by the Yang family from the very beginning. As he rose up step by step from the grassroots level, Yang Weiquan not only had a large number of Yang family elders who liked him, but he also trained many capable subordinates. However, although these two people seem to be taking different paths, as their status gradually increases, the paths they can choose are becoming fewer and fewer. Simple political achievements are no longer enough to help them ascend to a higher position. At this time, if you don't have a truly generous move that can make you stand out, it won't be convincing. It seems that Yang Weiquan and Du Yan in the room have confirmed that the Yang family has obviously chosen to cooperate with the Song family. It is impossible for the elders of the Yang family to see what kind of chess the Song family is playing. , just because they have made different choices from the beginning, so even if they know that the low-key way of the Song family is more suitable for development, it is obviously impossible for the Yang family to take the same path. But this does not hinder cooperation, especially when it is known that the Song family is interested in basic heavy industries in the mainland. For the Yang family, this is not only a person who can help Yang Weiquan achieve brilliant political achievements in Hexi as soon as possible, but also take the opportunity to show good will. Good news for the Song family. Seeing Song Jiayi and the others coming in, a middle-aged man who was sitting opposite Yang Weiquan immediately stood up and greeted them. "Mr. Song." The middle-aged man greeted Song Jiayi, and then looked at Du Yan with an indifferent expression. "No need to worry about Director Liu, we are all our own people," Song Jiayi put down her arm from Du Yan's shoulders and said to him, "This is Director Liu from the Second Secretary's Division of the General Office of the Hexi Provincial Government." "Hello, Director Liu." Du Yanshen Shaking his hand slightly with the middle-aged man, he knew that Director Liu should be Yang Weiquan's secretary, and the Provincial Government Secretariat's Office No. 2 belonged to Yang Weiquan's secretarial team. Director Liu and Du Yan held hands slightly, and at the same time looked at Yang Weiquan from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that Yang Weiquan had also stood up with a smile on his face, he nodded slightly with Du Yan and stepped aside. "Wei Quan, come, let me introduce you." Although she knew that Du Yan knew Yang Weiquan, Song Jiayi still followed the rules. "No need, Jiayi, we know each other," Yang Weiquan looked at Du Yan and smiled lightly, extending his hand, "Du Yan, the mayor of Daqing Township in Pingling, Taihua, right?" "Yes, Governor, you still remember me." Du Yan shook hands with Yang Weiquan excitedly, but secretly sighed in his heart. This young master of the Yang family is really good at winning over people. If he didn't already know enough about these people, and just called him this name, he would probably I was so happy that I forgot who I was. Yang Weiquan can wait for him here, so he already knows who he is, but Yang Weiquan is calling him outWhen asked about his identity, he did not call him his current position but the position he held when they first met. This was undoubtedly a hint that he had not forgotten this small town mayor whom he had met briefly. From this little detail alone, we can see Yang Weiquan's delicacy in doing things and his ability to control people's hearts. Du Yan believes that if he were really a young boy or an ordinary cadre now, maybe if he just said a word to this meeting, he might really I will sell myself to Yang Weiquan. Yang Weiquan always had a smile on his face, so after greeting Song Jiayi, he motioned for Du Yan to sit opposite him, and then he deliberately looked Du Yan up and down. "I heard about Jiayi. Director Xiao Du made a name for himself when Governor Gao inspected Taihua." Yang Weiquan's title changed slightly, but the words 'Director Xiao Du' came out of his mouth. But it was different from other people's taste. It seemed to have a hint of easygoingness and a vague intimacy. This made Du Yan secretly feel that Yang Weiquan was good at using his skills, but he was also secretly frightened. This man was worthy of being a long-time resident. The superior red descendants really know how to stir up the atmosphere skillfully. "I've heard about it too. It's said that Governor Gao not only praised the construction of the new district in person, but also offered the opportunity to listen to your proposal for the restructuring of the heavy machinery factory in Pingling alone. Is this true?" Song Jiayi sat down casually. Asked from the sofa. Yang Weiquan glanced at Song Jiayi with a smile, and then turned to Du Yan with a questioning look. "That's just daily work. Regarding the restructuring of the heavy machinery factory, it is actually a helpless move at a dead end. This is also the reality faced by many large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in Hexi." Du Yan did not use the usual clich¨¦s. Because he knew that Yang Weiping was not going to see him in such a big way just to listen to those empty words. "A helpless act in a desperate situation," Hu Weiping repeated Du Yan's words softly, and then asked in a deep voice with a slightly serious look on his face, "Xiao Du, is your statement a bit too much? Or is it just Taihua's side? Although the current situation of some enterprises is not optimistic, it should not be that serious yet. " "Governor, I have a preliminary investigation on the specific situation." Du Yan took out the documents he had prepared. This is the information he asked Qiao Luowei to find for him before about some large Chinese companies in Hexi Province. Except for some companies that were already underperforming as a cover-up, some of the key situations are based on Du Yan's predictions of Hexi Province in the next few years. Memories of economic trends, specifically requested to be selected. Some of these companies are already in a difficult situation now, and some, although it is not very bad now, will soon face difficulties due to various reasons, until they finally collapse because they can no longer withstand the huge pressure. Yang Weiquan picked up the document that Du Yan placed respectfully on the small table next to him and slowly flipped through it. Although he looked at it seriously at first, he was somewhat casual, but gradually, his expression became serious. "Did you write this?" During this period, Yang Weiquan raised his head and glanced at Du Yan, but then he lowered his head and looked at the information in his hand. As he turned back, he took longer to read each page, until later Simply pause on one of the pages. "Are you sure about the source of this information? Are there some things in it that are too subjective?" After reading for a while, Yang Weiquan turned to the end and looked up at Du Yan. When he reached for the tea cup next to him, , because the heat from his fingers was slightly hot, he realized that because he had been looking at it for too long, Director Liu had replaced the cold tea with another cup. "Governor, I can guarantee that these information are completely based on actual data." Du Yan slightly stood up. "The current situation of many large Chinese enterprises is very bad. For example, the famous provincial Dongfanghong Steel in our province In terms of factories, this is the largest steelmaking plant in our province, responsible for almost 20% of the province's steelmaking output. Last year, their annual steel output was 760,000 tons. This should be a great achievement. figures, but in fact, in order to maintain the normal operation of the steel plant, within six months of the second half of last year, they applied for operating loans of up to 120 million from banks, plus the annual provincial payment Various additional funds from Dongfanghong. In fact, although Dongfanghong Steel Plant has such a large output, the actual situation is that the more it produces, the greater the losses will be, because the production output value is not directly proportional to the investment cost. " Du Yan answered Yang Weiquan's questions calmly, with a calm expression, not showing any signs of nervousness because he was facing the executive deputy governor. This is of course because what he said is true, but more importantly, Du Yan knows that what he said is exactly what Yang Weiquan will pay attention to in the near future. Du Yan remembers that when Yang Weiquan served as the executive deputy governor of Hexi Province, what caused the most controversy was the investigation of Hexi Dongfanghong Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.On the policy implementation of more than a dozen large state-owned enterprises in the province, including ?. Yang Weiquan obviously wants to make some achievements as the deputy governor, so that he can take over Gao Ke's position when Gao Ke has the opportunity to take a step forward in the future. Unlike Gao Ke, a local cadre in Hexi, Yang Weiquan, as a descendant of the Reds from the capital, has a natural political advantage. But precisely because of this, Yang Weiquan couldn't help but commit the same mistakes at critical moments as many other cadres with profound backgrounds who were just waiting for the opportunity to take over after being dormant for a long time. This problem is that in order to climb to the originally planned position step by step, regardless of reality, it seems to be eager for quick success and quick gain at certain times, especially when it is about a change of leadership, the more impatient it seems. Yang Weiquan took over the executive position just over a year between the two terms. In this way, as long as he lasts four more years, he is fully expected to succeed Gao Ke. Four years seems to be a long time, but in fact it is very tight. Especially if Yang Weiquan wants to stand out from the many other red descendants who are qualified enough to compete with him for the future position, he must not make any mistakes, otherwise If there is a slight mistake, it will not be delayed for four years, but may be the fate of the rest of life! Because of this, Du Yan remembered that it was around this time that Yang Weiquan began to make great efforts to rectify the large state-owned enterprises in the province, trying to find ways to save those enterprises that were gradually slipping into trouble. ¡°He obviously hopes to use such a tangible political achievement as a stepping stone for him to compete for the provincial governor¡¯s seat four years later. However, precisely because of this eagerness for success, Yang Weiquan in the next few years only focused on revitalizing the industry in Hexi Province as the key, and almost completely ignored the interests of the workers in these enterprises. The final result is that with the help of Yang Weiquan's great success and the help of well-intentioned people, the industry in Hexi Province has not really emerged from the predicament. On the surface, it is a prosperous development, and its glory based on the sacrifice of countless bottom-level interests has become a failure. Yang Weiquan was ultimately defeated at the critical moment due to the criticized excuses, and he has never recovered since then! Now, Du Yan was sitting opposite Yang Weiquan, explaining to him while paying attention to Yang Weiquan's thoughtful expression. This made Du Yan even more convinced that Yang Weiquan at this time should have noticed the problems of Dongfanghong Steel Plant. , and may even have started to conduct some investigation, and now that he has chosen Dongfanghong Steel Plant as a breakthrough point for his opinion, he has obviously hit the pulse of Yang Weiquan! "Xiao Du, is it not so bad over there at Dongfanghong?" Yang Weiquan still asked indifferently, while Director Liu, who was sitting not far behind him and heard the change in his title to Du Yan, said: He raised his head and glanced at Du Yan. "Governor, my information is somewhat optimistic. In fact, there may be worse situations." Although Yang Weiquan seemed casual, Du Yan knew that he had actually listened, otherwise he would not have heard it. He specifically proposed a refutation for such a different point of view. Seeing this situation, Du Yan decided to take a strong dose of medicine! "Oh, what else is going on? Xiao Du, don't worry about gastritis." Yang Weiquan leaned against the sofa, with what looked like a smile on his face, but actually contained a deep expression. If it were anyone else, Yang Weiquan's words might have been enough to scare people away, but Du Yan, except that his sitting posture was slightly more serious, still had a relaxed expression on his face. "Governor, I see this year's outlook for the province's industrial development. We hope to exceed the province's 2.8 million tons of steel blank production and 1 million tons of finished steel within this year. There is even news that next year, The province needs to grow by 10 to 13 percentage points on the current basis," Du Yan said confidently. "The reason why the province has such confidence, we all know, is because the country is vigorously developing infrastructure and there is a huge demand for steel in the market. The volume is increasing greatly, so even if companies like Dongfanghong have old production equipment and extremely high costs, they are still producing continuously" At this point, Du Yan stopped, he glanced at Yang Weiquan, and then slowly But he said forcefully: "But Governor, what if this market environment changes suddenly? What if the central government decides to disrupt the trend of infrastructure construction across the country? By then, old enterprises like Dongfanghong Steel Plant will simply not be able to withstand it. "Wait a minute, you said the central government will stop the current infrastructure projects across the country?" Yang Weiquan's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and he instinctively looked at Song Jiayi sitting aside, but when he saw After Song Jiayi spread his hands and showed an uninformed expression, he looked at Du Yan. ¡°Governor, in fact, if you take a closer look, you can find that whether it is national-level projects or infrastructure projects in various provinces and cities across the country,"It is said that everything is blooming, but this is definitely not a normal situation, especially our Hexi Province, which is a relatively backward province in the country in terms of economy, but its infrastructure projects are no less than other provinces," Du Yan said. When Yang Weiquan glanced at him, he knew that Yang Weiquan was thinking of the inter-provincial railway plan that Gao Ke had re-proposed at this time and attracted people's attention. He continued, "Of course, some projects related to the future development of Hexi for a century are still Some are necessary, such as the inter-provincial railway plan that is being discussed across the province, but some are not important at all and are even redundant projects. There are too many such projects across the country. Once the central government changes policies in the future, these projects will The project is facing the risk of being stopped. Speaking of which, I have heard some rumors recently. Although I don¡¯t know whether they are true or not, they are enough to attract our attention. " "What rumors? Yang Weiping still asked with a smile, but his expression was still disapproving. After all, a department-level cadre could hear anything valuable. "I heard by chance that Vice Premier Shang, who is in charge of the National Bank, seemed to raise the issue of investment in state-owned projects. I had some opinions, so when I was preparing the materials, I thought, if our investment projects in Hexi Province were suddenly stopped, would large steel plants like Dongfanghong collapse suddenly? " As soon as Du Yan finished speaking, a trace of imperceptible gloom quickly flashed across Yang Weiquan's face. Director Liu flicked his wrist and dropped the pen on his lap. Volume 4 "Volume 3: The Official Sail" Chapter 83 Beauty Comes and Goes Director Liu quickly woke up from his gaffe. He quietly reached out and picked up the pen that had rolled to his feet. At the same time, his eyes quickly glanced at Yang Weiquan's face. Yang Weiquan's expression had returned to normal at this time. He looked at Du Yan with an approving smile, then turned to Song Jiayi next to him and said: "Jiayi, Director Du is not simple. Don't look at a place like Pingling. Our economic development in Hexi, even the spirit of the central government can be said to be reasonable. It is a bit like living in seclusion in Longzhong and guiding the country. Young people have ambitions. " After hearing Yang Weiquan's words, Du Yan immediately stood up and showed a hint of smile. With an expression of sincerity and fear, he knew that at this moment he had no right to speak. As expected, Song Jiayi laughed and stood up. "Governor Yang is praising him a bit too much. It would be bad if he gets too proud at such a young age," Song Jiayi said, looking at his watch and then extending his hand to Yang Weiquan, "Governor Yang, you are a busy man. We don¡¯t want to disturb you too much. Let¡¯s do this. I won¡¯t leave for the next few days. I¡¯ll treat you to dinner when you¡¯re free. How about we get together with you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s it.¡± I will ask Lao Liu to contact your people at that time. Speaking of which, we are all very busy. If nothing else, I only see Mr. Qiao once a year. This is usually in the same city. , I'm really busy." Yang Weiping shook hands with Song Jiayi and looked at Du Yan, while extending his right hand, "Director Xiao Du will definitely come over by then, but I still want to hear your speech." " Governor, you really praised me." Du Yan immediately stretched out his hands and held them with Yang Weiquan. His appearance showed a hint of excitement and then restraint. "I just talked nonsense. Don't be offended if I am right or not. " "Director Xiao Du, this is not like you just now. If you are too modest, you are proud," Yang Weiquan said in a tone that was slightly critical but also slightly approving. "Well, you can sort out what you just said. You must pay attention to the reliability and authenticity of the evidence. After sorting it out, contact Old Liu and ask him to bring it over to me for a look. " After Yang Weiquan said this, he glanced at Director Liu next to him, and Director Liu took out his own. The business card was handed to Du Yan's hand, and at the same time he whispered: "Director Du, this is the number of my office. If you have any important matters, you can contact me." Du Yan took it and took a look at it seriously. He knew that Director Liu's instructions were actually reminding him not to make this call easily if there was nothing important. However, Du Yan didn't care much about this number. In fact, today's meeting with Yang Weiquan was reasonable, but it was somewhat beyond Du Yan's expectations. Yang Weiquan seemed very enthusiastic. He even sent Song Jiayi and two people to the door of the outer hall of the room, then stopped and asked Director Liu to accompany the two people to leave. However, after Director Liu sent the two people off and came back, he saw Yang Weiquan standing in front of a table in the outer hall, tapping the tabletop with his fingers and thinking silently with a low expression. "Governor, look at this" Director Liu asked half a sentence and couldn't help but stop and look at the look on Yang Weiquan's face. "Mingjie, please call the old man in the capital," Yang Weiquan whispered, "Ask the old man if there may be any new spirit from the central government regarding major infrastructure projects and related construction policies recently, and" Yang Weiquan paused here and waved slightly to Director Liu. "It's better for me to go." Yang Weiquan whispered, and then walked into the room. Looking at Yang Weiquan's back, Director Liu couldn't help but secretly thought: That little cadre surnamed Du just talked nonsense, who would have thought that he would talk about Governor Yang's heart ailment. After coming out of Yang Weiquan's room, Du Yan and Song Jiayi walked along the corridor. Seeing that Song Jiayi had no intention of calling Miss Ou, Du Yan couldn't help but look at him strangely. "What are you looking at me doing? Do you blame me for pushing you to that person without even telling you?" Song Jiayi looked at Du Yan amusedly, "I tell you, you know how many people want to be here?" Do you look familiar to that person? You owe me a favor today. Think about how to repay me." Looking at Song Jiayi's slightly exaggerated expression, there always seemed to be an unspeakable sarcasm. , but Du Yan just curled his lips and ignored him. "Why don't you believe it?" Song Jiayi led Du Yan into a room, stopped in front of the bar, poured two glasses of red wine, and handed one to Du Yan, "I know you have even met Gao Ke, of course you don't care about a standing deputy Governor, don't tell me that you don't even know whose family he is from. "Everyone knows about Mr. Yang's favorite son." Du Yan looked at the light with the red wine and looked up. Start by drinking it all in one gulp. ? ??Is there anyone who drinks red wine like you? It is simply a waste of nature. "Song Jiayi laughed loudly, but then he raised his neck and turned his cup upside down. "Okay, I admit, it is a bit too much to suddenly take you to see Yang Weiquan this time, but you should also know that this Mr. Yang What kind of person is he in Hexi? " "Of course, Hexi was originally half of the Yang family. " Du Yan said casually. "Yes, but it's only half of the Yang family." Song Jiayi smiled softly and put down the cup. "Otherwise, how could Gao Ke allow Yang Weiquan to be so expert? "As one of the founding fathers of the People's Republic of China, Yang Weiquan's father, Mr. Yang, led revolutionary teams in several provinces in the mainland during the civil war in his early years. Although Mr. Yang came to the capital after the founding of the People's Republic of China, some of his former subordinates still came from the mainland. Because of this, although Hexi is not the direct power base of Yang Lao's faction, it has a deep or shallow relationship with Yang Lao and his faction. It is precisely because of this that Yang Lao has placed great hopes on it from the beginning. Yang Weiquan was sent to the mainland. As he gradually rose from the grassroots level, Yang Weiquan could be said to have a strong influence in Hexi. But as Song Jiayi said, the Yang family's strength in Hexi Province was not too strong after all, otherwise. With Gao Ke's character, although Yang Weiquan has a strong background, he will not allow him to interfere in his own affairs easily. At least this time, if Gao Ke didn't know about it in advance, Yang Weiquan wouldn't have decided to meet Du Yan without permission. This time Du Yan came to Tongyang to meet Gao Ke. "When should I meet Gao Ke?" "Du Yan took out a bottle of beer from the bar, bit it open with his teeth and drank it one mouthful after another. "You won't tell me that Gao Ke is no longer in Qixia Mountain. " "Gao Ke is really not here," Song Jiayi spread his hands and said helplessly, "He has an important meeting today. He originally promised that he would make time to see you, but now it seems that he can't see you for the time being. " Regarding Song Jiayi's words, Du Yan didn't show anything on his face, but he didn't quite believe it in his heart. As the governor, Gao Ke happened to attend the meeting, but as the deputy governor, Yang Weiquan was very leisurely at the Qixia Mountain Hotel Rest, this is obviously unjustifiable, but Du Yan knows that although he is now somewhat in the eyes of some big shots, he actually has no say in it. The reason why Yang Weiquan came to him is not so much because he values ??him. It is better to say that he attaches great importance to the Song family behind him. After all, in Yang Weiquan's view, he is on the side of the Song family. "Du Yan, I saw your plan to restructure the heavy machinery factory," looked at Du Yan. Just drinking beer one after another, Song Jiayi finally spoke first, "I just want to ask you, don't you think your plan is contradictory? As far as I know, your restructuring plan is more radical than the one you proposed before, which involved directly selling the factory. At least that plan still has room for negotiation regarding whether the workers should stay or leave. But your plan is to directly push all the workers in the factory into a workers' collective joint-stock company created out of nothing. You should be very clear that this does not mean that tens of thousands of workers from the heavy machinery factory will be directly pushed into the society. Yet? " Du Yan poked the table of the bar with his elbow, holding the beer in his hand and drinking it sip after sip. When he heard Song Jiayi's question, Du Yan tilted his head and looked at him. "You think so? Du Yan asked with a smile, "Am I pushing all the workers from the heavy machinery factory out?" " "At least that's the case with your restructuring plan. "Song Jiayi shook his head helplessly. Just when he was about to say something else, the phone on the table by the wall rang. Song Jiayi walked over and picked up the phone and listened for a while, but then looked back slightly surprised. Eyeing Du Yan, he then whispered into the phone: "I understand. " He put down the phone. Although he knew that this call might be related to him, Du Yan was not in a hurry. He knew that if he should know, Song Jiayi would always tell it. " Sure enough, after Song Jiayi opened his mouth, he He shook his head and smiled before saying anything: "Dumi Du, you are really not simple. Do you know who called just now? " "How would I know? I'm not easy-going. "Du Yan still looked careless. Although he knew that the call must have a lot of history, thinking about the people and things he had encountered before was already big enough. He thought he had gradually developed a "It's my second old man," Song Jiayi lowered his voice, then looked at him with a hint of mockery. The bottle in his hand stopped at his mouth for a moment, but he didn't move. Du Yan: "This time you, Du Da Mi, are really going to show off. "I never expected that this phone call that seemed to be related to me was actually from Song Youbo who was far away in eastern Guangdong. Even though he thought he was immovable, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little??Absence. Du Yan knows very well who Song Youbo is! Although he had met this legendary mastermind of the Song family before, it was actually entirely because of the relationship between Song Jiawen and Zhao Xiaoyun. Therefore, although Song Youbo seemed to be somewhat attracted to him, Du Yan felt uncomfortable in his heart. It is very clear that the distance between me and the second-in-command of the Song family is a bit too far. If I can't find a way to do something amazing, I may never see the mastermind of the Song family again. But now he suddenly heard that Song Jiayi said that Song Youbo, who was far away in eastern Guangdong, actually called to talk about him. This made Du Yan unexpectedly and confused, because he knew that with Song Youbo's identity, even if If I really think that I am a worthy person, I will not suddenly think of myself for no reason, let alone call me from eastern Guangdong. "My second old man wants to hear about your restructuring plan," Song Jiayi, who seemed to be finally satisfied after seeing the stunned look on Du Yan's face, revealed the secret. "The old man has asked his secretary Gao to fly over tonight. , I think you can sit down and have a good chat tomorrow." After saying this, Song Jiayi shook his head with a sigh, "You may not know, this Secretary Gao is not an ordinary person, let alone ordinary cadres in eastern Guangdong. He can't speak. Even for us, the children of the Song family, he usually ignores us and doesn't interact easily. " Listening to Song Jiayi's words, Du Yan couldn't help but flash a reserved figure in his mind, who always seemed to keep a distance from others. , and at the same time, he couldn't help but think of Song Jiawen's comment that Secretary Gao was too arrogant. Now, listening to Song Jiayi's words again, it seems that Secretary Gao really doesn't want to see anyone. Because of Gao Ke's unexpected delay, Du Yan's speech that he had prepared in front of him turned into a mutual test with Yang Weiquan. Although he knew that Yang Weiquan's appearance meant that the Song family had obviously decided to at least stay in Hexi. A certain relationship was formed with the Yang family, but Du Yan knew that the Song family's real collaborator in Hexi would only be Gao Ke. Yang Weiquan took the initiative to cooperate with Gao Ke because of the intervention of the Song family and the discovery that Sui Jianchao and Wang Bingchen, who were behind him, seemed to be infiltrating power into Hexi. After all, there is no conflict between Yang Weiquan and Gao Ke. If Gao Ke can successfully ascend to the throne of Provincial Party Committee Secretary in the future, then Yang Weiquan can also take the opportunity to succeed him as provincial governor. This is obviously beneficial and harmless to both parties. . Perhaps because of this, Gao Ke, by letting Yang Weiquan meet Du Yan, was actually tacitly allowing Yang Weiquan to participate in his transaction with the Song family. It¡¯s just that Du Yanbai was asked to make a trip. He knew that this kind of meeting with Gao Ke was often a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and if he missed this time, he might never have the chance again. "What Du Yan didn't expect was why Song Youbo would suddenly call at this time. At least he couldn't understand how Song Youbo knew about his restructuring plan. Du Yan lay in bed and was lost in thought. This was the third building on the east slope of the Qixia Mountain Hotel. Because of the bad terrain, it was not as lively as the other two hotel buildings. Logically speaking, Du Yan was not qualified to live here, but Firstly, because of Song Jiayi's presence, and secondly, there were often no leaders coming to Building 3 here, so Du Yan successfully moved into a suite at the east end of Building 3. Du Yan is a little nervous about Secretary Gao's arrival tomorrow. Being able to become Song Youbo's secretary shows that Gao Yubing is not an easy person, but this is not the real reason that makes Du Yan nervous. The reason why he is nervous is that he is the only one who understands in his heart that what is included in the restructuring plan What changes may be caused in the future by hidden things! Song Jiayi may not be able to see it, and Gao Ke may not be able to see it either, but what about Song Youbo? Will Song Youbo discover anything from it? When he thought of the mastermind of the Song family, Du Yan couldn't help but have a slight headache. Song Youbo's low profile allowed him to avoid too much right and wrong, but it also gave this wise old man, who had always looked at the world with a cold eye, a pair of eyes that could almost penetrate time and space to see the future. Maybe Song Youbo asked Gao Yubing to come to Tongyang to see him because he had some suspicions, or maybe he wanted to confirm the suspicions in his mind by letting Gao Yubing come into contact with him? Du Yan lay in bed tossing and turning over and over again, unable to fall asleep. If it were anyone else, Du Yan believed that with his two lives of experience, he would be able to deal with it with ease, and even if someone had ideas about some of the impressions that the future development of the restructuring plan might cause. , and he was confident that he could handle it. But Song Youbo, Du Yan felt a little unsure. After all, Song Youbo is not only the mastermind of the Song family, but as far as Du Yan knows, he oftenAs a senior policy advisor of the Southern Tour Elders, he has participated in the formulation of major policies that affect the future destiny of the entire country many times. Facing such an old man, how could Du Yan not feel secretly nervous when he thought about his restructuring plan, which, even if it did not harbor evil intentions, had ulterior motives. Du Yan, who couldn't sleep, simply sat up. He put on his clothes and walked outside. He took out his restructuring plan and was about to read it carefully again to look for any possible flaws when a soft sound came from outside. A light knock on the door. Du Yan put away the documents and walked to the door. When he opened the door and saw Zhao Xiaoyun standing in the corridor, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled happily. "Xiaoyun, you're here." Du Yan immediately opened the door and let Zhao Xiaoyun in. When he closed the door and instinctively looked outside, it made him feel like he was having an affair with a married woman. Zhao Xiaoyun walked into the room and looked at where Du Yan was sitting. He immediately took a few steps to the side and sat down in another chair far away from him. Seeing her like this, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little funny. . ¡°Speaking of it, it was like this every time I met Zhao Xiaoyun alone. Zhao Xiaoyun would stay far away at first, but often in the end, the two of them did almost everything except the last thing. "Mr. Qiao will come over tomorrow." Zhao Xiaoyun seemed to want to talk to Du Yan seriously, but when he met his sly eyes, Zhao Xiaoyun's cheeks could not help but turn slightly red, and his eyes could not help but drift to the side, "I heard that the second old man His secretary Gao Yubing will also come over tomorrow, so the negotiation with Gao Ke will have more leverage. " "Negotiation with Gao Ke?" Du Yan, who originally wanted to tease Zhao Xiaoyun, changed his expression when he heard this. "Have the Song family decided to cooperate with Gao Ke?" "Don't you already know?" Zhao Xiaoyun glanced at Du Yan. During the restructuring of the heavy machinery factory, Mr. Qiao couldn't find an opportunity to negotiate with Gao Ke so quickly. "Is this the basic industry in Hexi Province?" Du Yan asked in a low voice. If there is anything that should not be forgotten in the early 1990s, it is the extremely luxurious feast for the rich and powerful that devoured state-owned assets during the wave of restructuring. How many state-owned assets were embezzled and digested in this feast? , even in the extremely developed Internet era in later generations, there is still no accurate determination. Compared with others, the Song family is just one of these many powerful people, and it can be said to be quite unique. At least while the Song family has absorbed the huge wealth accumulated over the years, it has not yet completely Kick away the vast number of workers who are on the verge of despair. Because of this, the Song family has not been plagued by so many infamy many years later, and because they understand the lesson of being wise and protective, the Song family has always maintained a low-key style among countless red descendants who have been criticized. And it was precisely because of this that Du Yan decided to introduce the Song family into Hexi's competition to devour public wealth. "There's one more thing, that's your restructuring plan." After saying this, Zhao Xiaoyun looked at Du Yan with doubtful eyes, as if he didn't know him. "I don't quite understand what you think. Not only do I not understand it, but Mr. Qiao also doesn¡¯t understand it, so Mr. Qiao has already passed the plan to the second old man. " Du Yan looked startled and then couldn't help but feel dumbfounded, even though Qiao Luowei passed the restructuring plan to Song. Youbo, this can be said to be a natural thing, but when he thinks about his plan, there may be the danger of being seen through by Song Youbo because of Qiao Luowei's move, Du Yan can't help but feel that the plan is up to people and the success is up to God. With emotion. "Du Yan, are you sure you really want to implement such a plan at Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory?" Zhao Xiaoyun asked slightly worriedly, "I have seen your plan to divide the entire heavy machine factory into two different joint-stock companies, and then Completely separate the equipment and personnel of the heavy machinery factory. Du Yan, do you know that this is very risky? If things get serious, it will cause you big trouble. " Zhao Xiaoyun couldn't help but lean forward because of worry. , at this time she had forgotten that she had been wary of staying away from this person before. It was not until Du Yan's hand gently held her waist that Zhao Xiaoyun became wary of something wrong and tried to retreat, but it was already too late. Du Yan gently held Zhao Xiaoyun's body, looking at the look of anger and shame on the face of the girl in his arms, enjoying the wonderful feeling brought by Zhao Xiaoyun's hot body and the membrane of his body, he gently lowered his head He kissed Zhao Xiaoyun on the forehead. "Xiaoyun, do you believe me?" Zhao Xiaoyun nodded instinctively at first, but then immediately shook her head vigorously. At the same time, she stared at Du Yan with a look that looked like a pervert. "Do you think I can believe you?" Zhao Xiaoyun twisted his body and wanted toHe struggled out, but this action made the inexplicable fire that was already burning faintly in Du Yan's heart become even more intense. As he screamed for Xiaoyun, Du Yan suddenly bent down and picked her up horizontally. , walked towards the bedroom. "Little gangster, you are so brave, how dare you" Zhao Xiaoyun's next words were blocked by a deep kiss. She instinctively put her hand behind Du Yan's neck, just when she was about to press down on a certain place. , just when this little gangster who was becoming more and more bold and reckless suffered some pain, Du Yan's tongue suddenly penetrated between his lips and teeth, making Zhao Xiaoyun's hand finally drop down helplessly. Kissing the soft lips gently, Du Yan stretched out his hand and gently reached into Zhao Xiaoyun's slightly open neckline. When he found that the skin on Zhao Xiaoyun's chest was flushed with red spots due to his touch, he couldn't help but smile softly in Zhao Xiaoyun's ear. : "Xiaoyun, I think you are more anxious than me." Zhao Xiaoyun's originally red face suddenly turned a little purple. Her closed eyes suddenly opened, and she looked at Du Yan with angry eyes. With. "You little rascal, it's up to you today, let me see what you dare to do to me." Zhao Xiaoyun deliberately put her arms above her head, as if she was letting him pick and choose, but her eyes were always fixed on Du Yan. Her appearance put Du Yan in a dilemma. Seeing that although her face was as red as an apple because he put his hand in her lapel, she was still staring at him. Du Yan couldn't help but finally let out a sigh. After roaring in pain, he pulled out his hand. "My aunt, what do you want from me?" Du Yan put his arms around Zhao Xiaoyun's waist and lay half beside her. "I should ask you this," Zhao Xiaoyun glared at Du Yan with a white eye. "You are going to have a wife soon. Why are you pestering me like this now?" Du Yan had a look on his face. He knew that Su Qian was indeed an insurmountable gap between him and Zhao Xiaoyun, but it was impossible for him to give up on Su Qian. But do we have to give up on Zhao Xiaoyun? Du Yan lay on his back in pain and looked at the roof. He could not imagine Zhao Xiaoyun lying in the arms of other men, just like he would really go crazy if he thought that Su Qian was lying in the arms of other men. Seeing Du Yan's depressed look, Zhao Xiaoyun slowly turned to his side and curled up in his arms. Listening to Du Yan's heart making powerful sounds, Zhao Xiaoyun said in a low voice: "Let's not think about the future." "Well, it's good like this now. We don't think about anything, not Su Qian, not my brother, just now." Du Yan gently hugged Zhao Xiaoyun's shoulders, gently slid his fingers through her soft and thick short hair, and said. Many times when he was with Zhao Xiaoyun, he was more attracted by Zhao Xiaoyun's hot figure that fascinated him, just like when the two had an affair for the first time, both of them fell into that inexplicable state because of alcohol. The same excitement and taboo curiosity. But now Du Yan seemed very calm in his heart. Perhaps it was Zhao Xiaoyun's words that changed his mood. Feeling this rare tranquility, both of them seemed to be afraid of breaking the beautiful atmosphere, and just quietly enjoyed this short and brief moment. Heartwarming moment. When Du Yan woke up, Zhao Xiaoyun had already left. He felt his arms were sore. Du Yan realized that this was because Zhao Xiaoyun rested on his arm for a long time the night before. Looking at the faint light outside, Du Yan simply stopped sleeping. After taking a warm shower, Du Yan walked out of the room. Building No. 3 seemed quieter at this time. Even though it was May, the morning on the mountain was still cold, and there were even light mist drifting over the higher peaks in the distance. Du Yan walked out of Building 3 and walked slowly along the path shrouded in early morning fog. He needed to sober up. What he had to face today was Gao Yubing, who needed to be more cautious than when he met Gao Ke before. . Maybe Gao Yubing himself doesn¡¯t need to worry too much, but when he thinks of Song Youbo behind him, Du Yan can¡¯t help but remind himself that he must be extremely careful! Two vague figures appeared on the path in the distance. Du Yan noticed Song Jiayi and Miss Ou at that time. Looking at the two people walking slowly and leaning on each other, Du Yan sighed secretly in his heart. Different statuses have created different situations for everyone. Thinking of the painful love between himself and Zhao Xiaoyun, and then seeing Song Jiayi's free and easy attitude, Du Yan couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face. "Have you slept well, Du Da Mi?" Song Jiayi, who was always called that way, smiled at Du Yan. His expression seemed to be hinting at something in Du Yan's eyes, but when Du Yan was about to speak, Song Jiayi had already continued, " There has been a call from the airport. Gao Yubing will be here in about two hours. "Will Mr. Qiao come here this time?" Du Yan asked. ?????????????????????????????????Luo Wei, the originally casual look on Song Jiayi's face was slightly stagnant, but he soon recovered: "Yes, but this time it is mainly Gao Yubing who will talk to you." As Song Jiayi was talking, Miss Ou next to him seemed Because it was a bit cold, she raised her hands to hug her shoulders and shrank slightly. When Song Jiayi saw it, she immediately took off her coat and put it on Miss Ou. "Xiao Wan, didn't I say it's cold in the mountains in the morning, so it's best not to come out?" Song Jiayi seemed to blame, but the pampering in her voice made Miss Ou smile on her face. "Xiaowan is pregnant." Song Jiayi suddenly showed a child-like proud smile to Du Yan, which made Miss Ou's face turn red instantly. "That's really congratulations." Du Yan said with sudden realization. By this time, he had completely understood why Zhao Xiaoyun said that Miss Ou was going to settle abroad. Song Jiayi¡¯s wedding will be held in October. Before then, Miss Ou will be sent abroad, and according to Zhao Xiaoyun, she will never come back. But looking at Miss Ou who is now full of happiness, Du Yan can be sure that Miss Ou's going abroad is not as simple as being forced to go abroad. This is certainly because Miss Ou is pregnant, and perhaps it may not be without the arrangements of the elders of the Song family. Letting a woman who has given birth to descendants of the Song family act as the agent for the Song family's overseas assets can be said to be one of the safest methods. The Song family's ability to persevere through the ups and downs over the years is inseparable from the fact that every generation of the Song family has smart enough leaders. If there were two old men of the Song family in the past, and now there is Song Jiayi's father, then the next generation should It's Song Jiayi and Qiao Luowei. Thinking of Qiao Luowei, Du Yan couldn't help but think of Zhao Xiaoyun, and then the dilemma he faced. "Director Du, Xiaoyun has gone down the mountain." Miss Ou, who was walking down the mountain with Song Jiayi's support, turned back to Du Yan behind her and said meaningfully, "She asked me to tell you, don't look for her again." Hearing Miss Ou's words Du Yan's heart suddenly twitched at this sentence. He could feel from this sentence that Zhao Xiaoyun seemed to be a little tired of the never-ending entanglement between the two of them. Perhaps it was because of this that Zhao Xiaoyun had decided to finally Choose to give up this bitter love that has no results and makes people feel very tired. "Thank you, Miss Ou." Du Yan had a smile on his face. Seeing that Miss Ou seemed a little anxious because he didn't understand what she meant, Du Yan nodded, "I already know what to do." Really? It would be nice if you knew" Miss Ou hesitated, then sighed helplessly, and slowly walked down the mountain path with Song Jiayi's support. At around ten o'clock in the morning, a black car drove outside Building 1 of Qixiashan Hotel. The door opened, and Qiao Luowei and Gao Yubing, who were wearing black suits, got out of the car respectively. "Mr. Song, we meet again." Seeing Song Jiayi, Gao Yubing smiled, but in the eyes of others, his smile always had such an indescribable sense of distance, which always seemed to make people feel that this person Unapproachable. "Brother Gao has worked hard all the way." Song Jiayi also rarely showed a solemn look. It seemed that Gao Yubing was not the secretary of his second grandfather, and even his previous interactions with Yang Weiquan seemed much more relaxed and natural. Then, he saw Qiao Luowei. "Sister-in-law," Song Jiayi called softly. Seeing Qiao Luowei nodding slightly, Song Jiayi's expression darkened at first, and then turned to Du Yan behind him, but his familiar cheerful expression returned to before, "Come on, We are all acquaintances, so there is no need for introductions. " "Director Du, I traveled thousands of miles just to meet you." Before Du Yan could speak, Gao Yubing had already stretched out his hand to hold it, but he was talking. At the same time, a pair of scrutinizing eyes kept patrolling Du Yan's face, "The second old man has not forgotten Director Du, and he has great expectations. Director Du, don't let the old man down." Listen to Gao Yu Bing showed such a strong posture as soon as he got out of the car. Du Yan couldn't help but secretly wonder whether this was a reminder or something else. What made Du Yan slightly moved and confused was that after hearing Gao Yubing's words, Qiao Qiao, who was standing next to him, Luo Wei glanced at Gao Yubing with a slightly reproachful look. "Secretary Gao, you are overly complimentary. I also hope that I will not disappoint the old man." Facing Gao Yubing's probing eyes, Du Yan smiled slightly. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 84: Fighting! After chatting for a while, several people walked into the hotel and got on the elevator. Walking into Song Jiayi's suite, Song Jiayi walked directly to the bar and took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet, but he only filled it up for himself. Then he took out a five-cent bottle from the corner of the wine cabinet that is very common on the street. A bottle of soda was opened, poured into a cup, and given to Qiao Luowei. Du Yan noticed that Qiao Luowei seemed slightly startled when he took the soda, and then nodded to Song Jiayi. Gao Yubing seems to be quite straight-forward in doing things, and he is very open and closed. In other words, because he has been around Song Youbo for a long time, he has naturally developed a kind of ability from simplicity to complexity. As soon as he sat down, Gao Yubing took out his notebook from his bag, opened it and placed it on his lap. At the same time, after smiling at Du Yan, he took out a small tape recorder and placed it next to him. "Director Du, let me make it clear that although we are just chatting casually in private, I still have to report some things to the old man, so please forgive me." After finishing speaking, Gao Yubing pressed the record button. Du Yan smiled slightly at Gao Yubing's straightforward style. At Song Youbo's status, many of the so-called taboo rules in official circles could no longer restrain him, or he had reached the age where he could get rid of them. To the extent of confinement, and because of his special status, Song Youbo can be more free in many things. So Du Yan didn't take it seriously when he saw Gao Yubing being so straightforward. If Gao Yubing tried to get close to each other from the beginning, he would have to be more careful. "Director Du, I have seen your proposal for the restructuring of a certain state-owned medium-sized enterprise in Hexi before," Gao Yubing said as he symbolically flipped through a copy beside him. Du Yan noticed that it was the one he had given to a medium-sized state-owned enterprise. Qiao Luowei's handwritten restructuring report, he remembered that Qiao Luowei laughed at his ugly handwriting at the time, "I first want to ask, what is your evaluation of this report?" Gao Yubing This slightly out-of-order question made Song Jiayi, who was drinking red wine, pause for a moment. He looked over from the bar and looked at the two people sitting across from each other. "Self-evaluation?" Du Yan thought for a while and then said, "I think if there must be an evaluation, it is not to be perfect, but to be honest." Gao Yubing's eyes looked at Du Yan and after a pause, He began to speak slowly: "Director Du, in this report, you proposed to completely restructure the heavy machinery factory, split the factory into two, and establish the Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory Co., Ltd. and the Pinling Heavy Machinery Factory Employees' Collective respectively. Co., Ltd., the original heavy machinery plant's main equipment and land required, claims and debts, including medical care and pensions for existing retirees, and various related rights and responsibilities, are fully inherited by the joint-stock company. Now Pingling Heavy Machinery Is it true that the factory will be deregistered and the employees on the job will be converted into collective shareholders? " "Yes," Du Yan nodded slightly, "I have listed the current situation of Pingling Switchboard Factory in detail in the restructuring report. I think it is necessary to carry out a complete restructuring. The only way out." "Well," Gao Yubing did not comment on Du Yan's conclusion. Although the document was in his hand, except for turning it over symbolically, he never looked at it again. "Du Yan Director, I remember that you had such a distribution plan in this proposal, that is, all shareholders and employees will collectively inherit part of the land of the heavy machinery factory, including some workshops, warehouses, and auxiliary office land, and the usable area is no less than Forty percent of the land under construction of the original factory, and the land necessary for the production of the Heavy Machinery Factory Co., Ltd., is leased from the Workers' Collective Joint Stock Company. The rent is calculated at 1.3 times the market price of the land and the government bond interest rate. In addition, according to the Workers' Collective Co., Ltd. Upon the company's application, the Heavy Machinery Factory Co., Ltd. can allocate or lease some non-critical equipment to the employee collective company, and the assets including land that are ultimately transferred to the employee collective shall not exceed 10% of the registered capital of the original Heavy Machinery Factory. Fifteen, no more than 20 percent. " Gao Yubing recited the numbers in Du Yan's restructuring plan without looking at it. When he said this, he stopped and looked at Du Yan and thought for a moment. Finally, he raised his hand to turn off the tape recorder at hand. "Director Du, I'm asking you a question now on a personal basis. Don't worry, this is just for the few people in our room to talk about. It won't matter after we go out." Gao Yubing had a slightly brisk smile on his face, which made him laugh. He looked a little more friendly, "As a grassroots leading cadre and a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Director Du, of course you know our country's economic system. I remember that someone seemed to have proposed evaluation and restructuring of this heavy machinery factory before, but That is just a matter of introducing technical capital, and the state still holds a large proportion of the shares. But your suggestion is purely to change the ownership." At this point, Gao Yubing lowered his voice slightly and leaned towards Du Yan, "You know. Has your suggestion touched on the basic issue of ownership?" Facing Gao Yubing's eyes, Du? He nodded slightly: "I am very aware of the weight of this proposal and the things mentioned in it. You don't have to have any doubts about Secretary Gao." "That's good," Gao Yubing straightened up slightly and placed his hand on the recorder button again. Pressing lightly, "Then let's continue chatting." Qiao Luowei sat not far from the two of them and drank the soda in her hand silently. Sometimes she would look at Du Yan with doubtful eyes, and sometimes she would fall into it. Thoughts, although the restructuring proposal in Gao Yubing's hand was sent to Song Youbo through her hand, Qiao Luowei once again fell into some doubts and even vague confusion while listening to the conversation between the two people. In uneasiness. As Qiao Luowei, who comes from a red family, she naturally knows some unknown things better than ordinary people. The important thing is that she knows the essence of certain things better! Because of this, Qiao Luowei felt waves of worry coming from deep in his heart as he listened to the two people's gradually deepening conversation. "Director Du, according to your suggestion, can I understand that you divided the assets of the heavy machine factory into two parts: property and personnel, and then completely separated these two parts into two separate shares? Company?" Gao Yubing asked in a deep voice. Seeing Du Yan silently nodding in recognition, he continued, "In your proposal, the Workers' Co., Ltd. has actually become a pure labor service company, owning the labor capital of workers. , and the Heavy Machinery Factory Co., Ltd. owns the assets of the original Heavy Machinery Factory. Of course, you mentioned here that when dividing the details, the Workers' Company will inherit some of the factories, yards and storage equipment of the original Heavy Machinery Factory, but what I want to know , What is the purpose of your division? I don¡¯t think you don¡¯t know. Isn¡¯t it very unfair to those workers in the heavy machinery factory?¡± Gao Yubing stopped here and raised his head slightly as if remembering. He thought for a moment and then smiled: "Director Du, I remember that you once publicly said that you will never allow or agree to any restructuring that infringes on the interests of workers. Even because of this, Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory is reorganizing During the asset appraisal, at your initiative, some representatives elected by the workers themselves joined the review team, is that right? " "Yes," Du Yan nodded, seeing Gao Yubing say something to him after hearing what he said. He cast a questioning look, Du Yan organized his thoughts in his mind, and then said slowly, "First of all, after the establishment of the Heavy Machinery Factory Co., Ltd., it has naturally separated from the personnel relationship with the original employees, and both parties can Sign an agreement to form a labor purchase mechanism, which means that the heavy machinery factory needs to purchase workers' labor force from the Workers' Co., Ltd. by signing a labor contract. At the same time, this labor purchase mechanism is a prerequisite for the cancellation of the original heavy machinery factory. , that is to say, it is a forced relationship, and neither party can tear up the agreement alone. " "I'm sorry, Director Du, let me interrupt," Gao Yubing raised his hand slightly apologetically to interrupt Du Yan, "If I press you. So, how is it different from the original relationship between the factory and the workers? It's just a different name." Du Yan shook his head when he heard this: "Of course it's not like this, Secretary Gao. In a legal sense, the two parties are two. Completely different main companies, there is some kind of contract mechanism between the two parties rather than a subordinate or internal relationship. In addition, there is a certain guarantee in terms of the quality of the labor services purchased by the employee company. For example, in the three years after the restructuring, the purchased labor The amount of wage remuneration must be re-arranged based on the original heavy machinery factory wages. This is to try our best to reduce costs. The workers are divided into grades according to their specific technical abilities. The minimum wage for each grade is based on the total wages of the original heavy machinery factory. For those dispatched workers who do not obey the factory's management, the heavy machinery factory has the right to request the workers' collective company to dispatch the amount. If the requirements are still not met. We will make corresponding salary reductions until the labor contract is stopped for this employee. " Du Yan stopped at this point. He felt a little thirsty and picked up the cup on the table and took a few sips. After he put the cup down, he sat down. Qiao Luowei, who was standing aside, picked up a red clay teapot and slowly filled it with water for him. This scene fell in the eyes of Song Jiayi who was far away. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then drank up the remaining red wine in his hand. Gao Yubing stretched out his hand to the tape recorder next to him, but then he took it back with an indifferent smile: "Director Du, you also know that these things we are talking about now are for the sake of the second old man, so some things are best explained. , Only in this way can we serve as a reference for the old men, and we will not make mistakes in the future because of our lack of experience and recklessness, so we will tell you everything we know today, how about it? " Du Yan smiled and agreed. With a sound, he leaned against the sofa and looked at Gao Yubing. At the same time, he secretly admired Gao Yubing for being a figure trained by Song Youbo. Not only did he speak sharply, but he also had a majestic atmosphere. It is estimated that in the near future, maybe this High positionThe book may have some achievements. Gao Yubing's words sounded normal, but Du Yan could tell that Gao Yubing was reminding him to be honest and not to play tricks, but he was also hinting to tell him that there was no need to worry about anything, even though to put it bluntly, Even if he was wrong, it wouldn't be a big deal. For a truly powerful person like Song Youbo, if he wanted to crush a small county cadre to death, it would really be nothing, so there was no need to hide it. Thinking of this, Du Yan secretly lamented that the so-called tactics were nothing more than trivial skills in the face of absolute strength. At the same time, he reminded himself even more that he must be extra careful when facing this extraordinary Secretary Gao. As for Song Youbo behind him, At this time, Du Yan was not so worried. After all, for someone like Song Youbo, what he has to face and think about is not just the current situation, but the politics that may have a major impact on the country in the next few years, ten years, or even decades. Decision-making, so any kind of thinking or opinion will be stripped off the outer shell of morality, ideas or legitimacy when it comes to him, and he will truly look at the essence of things. That is, for Song Youbo, there is no The so-called right or wrong, what matters is whether it has practical use! However, Du Yan did not dare to take Gao Yubing lightly. The more Gao Yubing showed such a relaxed and casual look, the more Du Yan reminded himself to be calm and composed, because Gao Yubing was likely to be in such a relaxed mood. In the atmosphere, he was suddenly asked a question that might cause a lot of trouble. Sure enough, as soon as Du Yang nodded, Gao Yubing asked with a smile: "Director Du, I have a question I have been wanting to ask you. I saw in your suggestion that the workers' collective joint-stock company established according to this idea is obviously jointly owned by the workers. Established as a joint stock company, I would like to ask you, how do you think such a company should ensure the interests of workers? After all, once the original heavy machinery factory is abolished, then these workers will be separated from the original unit, so regardless of whether a workers' collective is established or not In fact, there is no essential difference between companies and being completely pushed into society. I want to know how you solve the labor problems of existing workers while solving their future labor insurance problems, and about the retired workers of the original heavy machinery factory. How do you solve the labor insurance issue? These are all closely related. " Listening to Gao Yubing's calmness, but suddenly raising such a crucial question, Du Yan couldn't help but feel something strange in his heart while secretly exclaiming. thoughts. But now he couldn't think about it, but followed Gao Yubing's words and introduced: "The workers' collective company is indeed a joint-stock company. The reason and purpose of doing this is to make the most detailed distinction from the initial division of heavy machinery factories. Apart from the specific interests of workers, we used to always say that state-owned enterprises are owned by the state, while collective enterprises are owned by everyone. However, this concept is actually very vague, and once it is necessary to completely liquidate and restructure it, such as the Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory, Things have become very complicated for enterprises. " Du Yan picked up the teacup on the table as usual, but when he found that the teacup was full, he couldn't help but glanced at Qiao Luowei beside him with a little surprise. , you can continue talking immediately. "Although we are no longer affiliated with the original factory, the workers' previous years of service, technical level, and awards will be collectively calculated by the employees and then turned into contribution scores. This score will be used to determine the number of shares each individual has in the company in the future. Specific quantitative standards, for example, I know that there is a young worker model in the heavy machinery factory. He is very skilled, capable and willing to study hard. It is said that his creative modification on the horizontal balance extrusion machine can increase the compliance rate of a machine by several times. percentage, such workers can get more shares when they buy shares in the future. This ensures the enthusiasm of workers and at least makes people understand that it is not just a matter of changing the name and getting the dead salary every day. People with ability Not only will you get more, but you can even get a higher proportion of dividends every year when the company pays dividends for half a year. " Du Yan explained seriously. Seeing that Gao Yubing sometimes stopped while taking notes, Du Yan let go. Slow down and reorganize your thoughts at the same time, because what he is going to say next is the key to everything before! "We have mentioned before that the workers' collective company should obtain 40% of the allocated land after the original heavy machine plant was dissolved, and the heavy machine plant joint-stock company must pay land lease to the workers' collective company when using the land As for the expenses, 80% of the land rental income should be used as the current dividend of the annual shares, and the remaining 20% ??should be used as the employees¡¯ labor insurance mutual aid fund. As for the original heavy machinery factory, it has reached 5. Workers who are 10 years old and have not yet reached the official retirement age can choose to retire early in the joint-stock company and receive an advance payment of 35% of their retirement salary for living expenses until they reach retirement age. They can receive monthly payments from the collective. The percentage of retirement salary paid by the company, but it will be repaid monthly during this period.??After the advance is fully repaid, it will be received in full at 100% of the retirement salary. This can completely cushion the problems that many people may encounter when they suddenly lose their jobs. " "Thirty-five percent? Gao Yubing raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Director Du, is this ratio a bit low?" In addition, do you think this approach is too drastic? After all, workers in this age group are in the most difficult time. Have you considered what kind of social impact such drastic policies will have? " Listening to Gao Yubing's question, Du Yan secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. "In 1992, although large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises across the country had already shown various problems caused by the shortcomings of the rapid transformation period in the previous ten years, but But they are still struggling to support it. At the same time, although many companies have reached the point where they are almost unable to pay wages, the vast majority of workers still believe that the company will one day get better. Because of this, although the situation is difficult, there are still few. People voluntarily leave the enterprise to make a living on their own. At least in the eyes of ordinary people who had formed the concept for many years at that time, no matter how difficult it was, the country would never abandon the working class. This idea almost became common from north to south and from east to west. It was a taken-for-granted concept, but people at the time would never have thought that just over a year later, the entire country would be driven by the rolling wheels of corporate restructuring and move forward on the fast lane of high-speed economic development. Rush, and the price of this rush is all the baggage that has been thrown off the train to reduce the burden! Is thirty-five percent very low? Du Yan secretly sneered, if he told this high-ranking official Secretary, there will be countless people who can't even get this 35% and will be kicked out of the factory where they have worked all their lives. I don't know how he will feel. But at this time, Du Yan is natural. I won¡¯t mention this. ¡°Secretary Gao, everyone knows the actual situation of state-owned enterprises now. It can be said that although the reform and opening up in the past ten years have accumulated a huge wealth for us, it is because of our system earlier. The reason is that large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises are now generally faced with the difficulties of bloated institutions and backward technologies, especially because some enterprises were originally established based on planned supply. Therefore, even if some changes have been made in the past ten years, But not only has the fundamental problem never been solved, it has become more serious and even more dangerous. "Du Yan took out one of the prepared materials and looked through it. He didn't have Gao Yubing's almost photographic memory ability, so he found the numbers he needed after searching for a while. "But be careful. After reading some economic data about some large heavy industry base enterprises in the northern provinces in recent years, Gao Yubing's eyes couldn't help but change slightly when he looked at Du Yan. "Director Du, you are really in Pingling and have the world in mind. ," Gao Yubing said with a hint of meaning, "But can you tell me why you gave these examples? " "Secretary Gao, 35% is indeed a bit low, but if compared with not being able to get a penny at all, the meaning of this number is different. I think this 35% is conservative, but But it can at least form the last barrier of protection. Du Yan said with a serious look. He knew that even though Gao Yubing might have heard about the restructuring frenzy that would start soon, he was unlikely to realize what it was like. In fact, no one can really know what it is like at this time. Realizing what the frenzy will bring in the near future, even policy makers will not be able to accurately predict what will happen in the future. "Gao Yubing nodded slightly. He wrote these four words in his notebook, and then casually drew a circle on it whose meaning only he understood. "Director Du, I admit that your considerations in this regard are still somewhat forward-looking. After all, the current corporate environment is not very good, and I find that you are relatively comprehensive in considering employee welfare and medical care. " Gao Yubing still didn't look at the information at hand. He just talked based on his personal memory, which made Du Yan really admire him. "I found something very interesting. You proposed to establish a welfare mutual aid fund in the employee collective company. According to the meeting, employees must pay 10% of their personal income to the employees' collective company every month as a mutual aid fund based on each person's personal income. This mutual aid foundation provides a certain proportion of underwriting for shareholders' future medical care" Gao Yubing Speaking of which, he smiled at Du Yan, "Yes, the fund is responsible for reimbursing 75% of shareholders' medical expenses, with a maximum limit of 60,000. If there is any excess, the foundation will provide an interest-free medical loan, which will be directly converted and deducted based on the salary ratio until it is paid off as soon as possible. ¡± It is rare for Du Yan to be able to give Gao Yubing aHe woke up, and it was exactly what he remembered most clearly. This made Du Yan feel happy at first, but his heart sank slightly. Obviously, Gao Yubing did not just forget this number. On the contrary, he hinted himself to remind him of these data to determine whether he was also the most impressed by this part as he had guessed. If so, it means that as he thought, this place is the key to something! Sure enough, after listening to Du Yan's words, the pen in Gao Yubing's hand slowly stopped. He put the notebook on his knees on the armrest of the sofa, and tapped his fingers lightly on the thick leather cover of the notebook. For a moment, the room was filled with confusion. The atmosphere inside is a bit gloomy. "Director Du, you should know our country's financial policy." Gao Yubing seemed to be thinking about how to word it, but he soon gave up this thoughtful consideration and said directly, "The foundation you proposed within the company is already related to Regarding some related policies at the financial level, I can tell you at this point that even the second old man is unlikely to give you a very accurate answer immediately, and if this foundation follows your assumptions, it will form a kind of Do you think Pingling or any other local government will allow such a foundation to appear as an internal circulation credit loan? " "Here it comes!" Du Yan's heart suddenly jumped. He had said so much before. But the real key to whether his plan can be realized is exactly what Gao Yubing just mentioned. "In this regard, I think we can refer to the country's preparation methods for urban credit cooperatives. So far, urban credit cooperatives in our country can be said to be quite successful to a large extent, at least in many places, they have helped the development of small enterprises in some cities. It is of great help. I think we can learn from the mature credit system of credit unions. Of course, this foundation is only an internal institution of a joint-stock company and is not open to the outside world. In order to control the direction of funds and supervise the operation of the fund, the foundation is completely As for the supervision of the general shareholders' meeting, the production committee and the labor inspection committee respectively elected by the shareholders' meeting jointly supervise. Every month, the foundation must submit review reports to these two committees. At the same time, the two committees must also review the fund at any time. Only in this way can we ensure that there are no problems." "That's it," Gao Yubing said with a smile on his face, still tapping his fingers. He didn't seem to have any intention of opening the notebook again. "Director Du, you still have something new. There are really a lot of them. The proposals of the Production Committee and the Labor Inspection Committee are also very novel. They sound like they are small but have all the internal organs.¡± And once internal disputes arise, if there is no perfect organization, it will cause conflicts between employees and the joint-stock company. After all, seriously speaking, every employee is the boss of the company," Du Yan joked. "At this time, There needs to be a department that can coordinate and arbitrate between the company and the employees, and this is the Labor Inspection Committee." As soon as Du Yan finished speaking, Qiao Luowei, who was about to put down the tea cup, moved his hand slightly, and the cup and the coffee table made a loud noise. A slight bump. "You meantrade union?" When Gao Yubing said this word, his voice could not help but lower slightly, as if he was worried about being heard by others. "Of course not, this is just a non-permanent organization within the company," Du Yanyixiao denied, "Our trade union must be under the leadership of the party. This is basic common sense. No matter what mechanism the company adopts, this must be kept in mind. As a party cadre, I will never forget this.¡± Gao Yubing nodded silently. Only then did he pick up the untouched restructuring proposal and flip through it. There was only the sound of rustling paper. Gao Yubing didn't speak, and others didn't make a sound either. After talking for so long, Du Yan felt a rare moment of relief. Almost everything that needed to be said had been said. Although some important things had not been touched upon so far, Du Yan I believe Gao Yubing will bring it up soon. I don¡¯t know whether it was intentional or not, but so far, there is a crucial place that Gao Yubing has not touched. Du Yan took a sip of tea from the cup. When he looked up, he was somewhat surprised to find Qiao Luowei looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze. Du Yan smiled slightly at Qiao Luowei, but he didn't expect Qiao Luowei to look away with a cold expression. This made Du Yan slightly stunned and couldn't help but feel a little confused. Song Jiayi came over and sat on the other corner of Du Yan's four-corner sofa, so the four of them faced each other like big names, but no one spoke. "If the employee costs are directly separated from the heavy machinery factory and a separate employee collective company is established, then the company will be given the lowest discount as proposed in this proposal."With less than 20% of the original assets, how much high-quality capital do you think the completely independent Pingling Heavy Machinery Company can secure? "Gao Yubing raised his head and looked forward. "If we sign a labor contract with the employee company, and then pay the workers' wages in a lump sum in the form of graded salary reductions, without including various welfare, labor insurance and other expenses, the Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. can at least Reduce the expenditure cost to less than 70% or even 65%, even if you include the land lease fees to be paid to the workers' collective company, the maximum will not reach 80%," Du Yan said slowly, these figures He remembered it in detail, because he knew that this was what Gao Yubing and Song Jiayi and Qiao Luowei really wanted to know most. "And because a lot of bad debts and sources of consumption will be cleared out during this period, this proportion will be even greater. " "How big will it be? "Song Jiayi asked in a low voice. He looked at Du Yan, as if he wanted to see from his face how much he could believe his words. "So far, the Provincial Department of Finance alone has mobilized funds from the heavy machinery factory many times. The largest sum is approximately 1.4 million, and these funds will now and in the future be included in the liquidation of the assets of the heavy machinery factory. "As Du Yan said this, he couldn't help but think of Director Miao of the Provincial Department of Finance, who is still on the review team of the heavy machinery factory. Since he rejected Director Miao's request last time, Director Miao has never mentioned those funds again. However, Du Yan knew that the matter would not be that simple. Although he had already reported the matter to Li Peizheng, he thought that facing an office like the Provincial Department of Finance, Li Peizheng would not play a big role in this matter. . And Du Yan also knows that these funds will not be used so much in the liquidation of the assets of the heavy machinery plant in the future, but rather used as bargaining chips in negotiations between the new owner of Pingling Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. and the government. I remember that in the previous life, the Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory was finally bought with a so-called absolute loss of zero assets for a mere symbolic price. This time, it became someone else's property. How much will the machine factory be divided up for? Three million? One million? Or five hundred thousand? Du Yan looked at the data report in the attachment as he picked up the restructuring proposal. , after realizing that the cup was empty, she couldn't help but look up at Qiao Luowei. Seeing Du Yan looking at her with the teacup in his hand, Qiao Luowei's slender eyes couldn't help but stare slightly, but then she picked it up. Gao Yubing picked up the clay pot next to him and poured a cup for Du Yan slowly and gracefully. Gao Yubing seemed not to have noticed their movements. After thinking for a moment, he gestured to Song Jiayi, and the two of them started talking in a low voice. Director Du, let me ask another question." After a while, Gao Yubing looked at Du Yan with raised eyebrows. "Your plan does seem very feasible, but I want to know, have you considered Pingling Heavy Machinery? What will the factory workers think of your suggestion? You have to know that this is not a simple restructuring issue, but a big issue that may have a bearing on social stability and far-reaching impact. " "Of course I know this very well," Du Yan said with a helpless look on his face. "Many people think that reform is about enjoying happiness, but few people have thought that reform itself is a kind of trade-off, taking the essence and discarding the dross. In this situation The sacrifice is painful, but it is absolutely inevitable. If someone needs to try and take risks in this regard, I am willing to be a pioneer. " Gao Yubing looked at Du Yan silently. As a person close to Song Youbo, he had seen too many duplicitous people, and he could see many things within the system very clearly, but now looking at the young man in front of him, Gao Yubing Bing was a little confused in his heart. He didn't know whether Du Yan was just singing a high-key tone, or whether he was really willing to play this role that was almost destined to attract a lot of criticism, and even be completely ruined if he was not careful. But if he said that he was lying. , but Gao Yubing really couldn't find any flaws in it. Although many aspects of this restructuring plan did violate some quite sensitive things in the domestic system, but thinking about the future-related system that might be formed from it, Gao Yubing But she couldn't help but feel a little excited in her heart. "Du Yan, but you still haven't told us how to ensure that workers will not resist your plan," Song Jiayi said slowly, "I think you know Huachang's basic attitude towards Hexi Province. The emphasis on heavy industry, in fact, you reminded us of these, so now tell me, how do you think your plan can be implemented," Song Jiayi said, her thick eyebrows could not help but frown slightly, that look was different from her usual Diao Chilang looked completely different. Looking at Du Yan, Song Jiayi's tone became more solemn, "You have to think about it, this is a really big deal that can break the sky. " Du Yan knew what Song Jiayi was referring to by saying this. If Zhang Wenliang was planning to pull off a trick of selling at a low price before under the instruction of Sui Jianchao, then nowIn essence, the proposed plan is to completely eliminate the fig leaf of selling at low prices! Although the plan mentions the establishment of a collective joint-stock company for workers, in anyone¡¯s opinion, once assets and personnel are completely stripped away, the result will be that all workers will be pushed directly into society! Such a move was unimaginable in 1992. As Song Jiayi said, this is something that will truly break the news! If this kind of thing is used as a handle by the political opponents of the Song family, then no matter how powerful Song Youbo is, no matter how politically evergreen the old man of the Song family is, this will be an extremely passive situation for the Song family. vortex. Because of this, although it is full of temptation to know that this seems to only involve a Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory, in fact once the pilot is launched, it may become a model that encompasses the entire Hexi Heavy Industry, but Song Jiayi still I couldn't help but be cautious and raised my doubts to Du Yan. Facing Song Jiayi's questioning eyes, Du Yan showed a relaxed smile from the bottom of his heart for the first time. He said, "I am sure because there is land." "Land?" Song Jiayi looked at Du Yan in astonishment. Song Jiayi is thoughtful and has richer information and connections than others. It is precisely because of this that he can identify the extraordinary status of Pingling and even Taihua in the future economic development of the mainland before others are aware of it. But Du Yan knew that due to the limitations of the times, it was impossible for Song Jiayi to completely predict and control the future direction. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­ The land that no one cares about in this era will turn into unimaginable wealth in the next twenty years. Du Yan is even vaguely afraid when he thinks of the changes that may come after his model is promoted. ! "Do you think there will be a large-scale appreciation of land value in the future?" Song Jiayi immediately grasped the key point, but then he shook his head slightly, "But even if it appreciates, how much can it rise, and this will change with the normal speed of the country's economic development. It is very likely that there will be an abnormal appreciation. " Du Yan looked at Young Master Song with interest, but secretly sighed at the wonder of fate. Who could have imagined what would happen in the next few years? "The land of the workers' collective company will provide guarantees for the workers," Du Yan said with confidence, "The only thing I hope is to get real support!" Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 85 Talking with Mei Ye The night in Qixia Mountain seems very peaceful. No other sounds can be heard except the chirping of insects in early summer. The hustle and bustle of the city seems to belong to another world, and even the sky seems to be suddenly open. It¡¯s just that the starlight above his head seemed to flicker and disappear. When Du Yan looked up at the deep night sky, he felt as if there was a force that was constantly reaching out from the darkness with huge hands to snatch him away. There is a very steep cliff at the foot. A wooden railing surrounds this small platform that slightly protrudes from the cliff. Behind it is the side door of Building 1 of the hotel. This is a place for resting. Several chairs are scattered on the platform. On the ground, you can see the most beautiful scenery of Qixia Mountain from here. The setting sun sets in the west, and the colorful clouds are like painted red. The Qixia Mountain Hotel is not only closed to the public, it has even been unknown to the outside world for a long time. The only road leading from the foot of the mountain to the hotel is a checkpoint guarded by armed police halfway up the mountain. Ordinary people or vehicles have no access to this road. You can't even reach the upper half of the road. Even from other places, it is difficult to get close to the main body of the hotel. In addition to the outer wall of the hotel itself, a barbed wire fence that extends from a long distance completely isolates the outside world from here, making this place a completely different place from the outside. world. Du Yan looked back and saw two old men walking slowly with the help of the waiters around him. Seeing their peaceful expressions and their expressions of whispering to the waiters beside him, Du Yan's lips slightly moved slightly. A flick. Du Yan can know what happened in this hotel without even guessing. There are often things buried under the clean appearance, and sometimes even people who are responsible for it may not be willing to reveal them easily. Du Yan suddenly thought of Xiao Zhu. This girl who had been serving the Song family before was probably very lucky. At least she didn't encounter anything too embarrassing here, or she didn't have time to encounter it. Du Yan believed that if necessary, Song Jiayi would not be stingy about letting Xiao Zhu play the role of warming the bed for an important guest, but before Xiao Zhu had time to encounter that situation, he left here because of his unintentional actions. Is that a good thing for Xiao Zhu? Du Yan thought to himself that if he stayed here, at least he would have enough food and clothing. If by chance he was favored by a certain leader, not only might there be good results in the future, but some scheming girls could even take advantage of the opportunity to embark on an official career. Such examples are not uncommon, and Du Yan couldn't help but think of Zeng Jing from Taihua. ¡° Zeng Jing went from being a clerk in the Airport Authority Bureau of a small municipal government to becoming the director of the Airport Authority. The short time it took for her to become the director of the Airport Authority Bureau has caused many people to talk about it. However, they have to admit that Zeng Jing, a woman, does have abilities and skills that are rare among others. ¡°At least since she became the director of the AA, she asked her brother Zeng Zhenping to break away from some unscrupulous people and businesses. It can be seen that Zeng Jing is a woman who will not be arrogant easily even if she is proud. She knew very well that everything she had came from Ren Shuqiang, and she knew even more clearly that the future of her and those related to her was not obtained through normal means from the beginning. Because of this, Zeng Jing appeared more calm and sober. Du Yan recalled that when Ren Shuqiang collapsed many years later, Zeng Jing, who had already served as deputy mayor at the time, was naturally implicated as his mistress. Du Yan still remembered that various evidences from Zeng Jing's home were enough to prove that she had been the custodian of Ren Shuqiang's illegally obtained wealth, which made many outsiders find it incredible that Ren Shuqiang's wife not only knew all this, but even had her consent. . This makes people admire Zeng Jing for her smooth and versatile skills. The "Brilliant Nightclub", the base of Zeng Zhenping, which was known as the "Small Organization Department" and was almost an accomplice of Ren Shuqiang and Ren Shuqiang, also closed down soon. However, Zeng Zhenping, who had smelled the smell early on, had already figured it out when Zeng Jing Under the arrangement, he miraculously escaped abroad in advance with a large amount of ill-gotten wealth accumulated over the years. Until Du Yan woke up drunk, he was enjoying a life of impunity. This shows how powerful this woman Zeng Jing is. Du Yan stood in front of the wooden fence and meditated silently. To others, he seemed to be thinking seriously, but in fact at this time, his mind was running wild and even thinking wildly. The conversation with Gao Yubing can only be considered half of the conversation. Although there is no need to talk about some details about the Pingling Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. to be established in the future, judging from the attention of Gao Yubing and Song Jiayi, if Du Yan If he can't come up with something that convinces them, they won't let him go easily. It¡¯s just that these two people have their own priorities. Of course, Song Jiayi is more concerned about the extent to which the future heavy machinery company can complete the reorganization of high-quality assets, while Gao Yubing seems to be more concerned about the Employees¡¯ Collective Co., Ltd. In fact, if you think about it carefully You can guess that those who really care about this?This is Song Youbo behind Gao Yubing. Du Yan did not make too many detailed estimates regarding the future sources of reorganization of Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd., because he knew that it involved too many interests and too many games, so such estimates would never remain at literal figures. On top of that, and maybe because of a certain conclusion you have made, no one has room to say anything. Blocking people from getting rich is the same as blocking people from progress. Both of them will attract hatred. Du Yan didn't want to become a martyr who died before he left the battlefield, especially as the more he saw within the system, the more he could feel the terrifying power coming from the entire system. This was not just one person. Or a few allies can fight against it, not to mention that Du Yan doesn't believe how long allies without interests and only morality can last. The relationship between him and Li Peizheng is the simplest example. From the beginning, the two relied on each other and then gradually drifted apart. Until now, Du Yan doesn't even know what else he has in common with Li Peizheng. place. Although Du Yan still regards Li Peizheng as his mentor and respected elder, the two people have obviously gone their separate ways politically. At least thinking about Li Peizheng as Yang Weiquan's line in Hexi, it is difficult for Du Yan to let himself go Being able to communicate openly and honestly with Li Peizheng. Gao Ke¡¯s trip to Taihua made the status of Yang Weiquan¡¯s cadres, including Cui Jianbin and Li Peizheng, become delicate. As the leader of local cadres, Gao Ke did not show much favor to local cadres in Hexi such as Ren Shuqiang and Guo Songlin, but he unexpectedly showed his goodwill and closeness to foreign cadres such as Yang Weiquan, which made many people While they were greatly surprised, they couldn't help but speculate on Gao Ke's purpose. In the eyes of many people, Gao Ke showed goodwill towards foreign cadres in this way, perhaps in order to win more allies from the upper echelons of Hexi Province. Some even thought that this was a signal that Gao Ke was preparing to challenge Feng Zhenhuai, secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. ! Du Yan didn't take these speculations seriously. Although he had not only met Gao Ke, but also had private contact with Yang Weiquan, the struggle at the top was still too far away from him. More importantly, Du Yan Knowing that challenging Feng Zhenhuai is not only meaningless to Gao Ke, but even the gain outweighs the gain. Even if Gao Ke has the ambition to be the provincial party secretary in four years, he is destined to only take over in other provinces and not in Hexi Province. Therefore, the quarrel between him and Feng Zhenhuai at this time is not only due to pure consumption. energy will give the upper management a bad impression of being too fond of fighting for power. Struggle is always non-stop in politics. Especially in this special domestic environment, struggle and unity have almost become an eternal topic in domestic politics. In a sense, a team without struggle is not something that upper-level leaders want to see. . But a cadre who likes to fight too much will not get a good evaluation from the leader. At least it will make people think that this person is difficult to control, especially after reaching a certain level. Being too sharp is not only a sign of immaturity, but also Making others worry is a source of trouble. So now it seems that everything Gao Ke did was to show his kindness to Yang Weiquan, but Du Yan did not believe that he really wanted to challenge Feng Zhenhuai. Especially after meeting Yang Weiquan unexpectedly, Du Yan was even sure that some kind of agreement should have been reached between Gao Ke and Yang Weiquan, and this agreement must have involved the participation of the Song family and the go-between. Gao Ke wants to have something as a springboard for future ambitions. Yang Weiquan wants to achieve the key steps of being the previous governor and even provincial party secretary in Hexi. What the Song family values ????is Hexi and even the provinces in the mainland that have accumulated over the years. Heavy industry! "What a good plan. It's really a good plan." Du Yan whispered to himself. He saw through all the connections between them, but things still developed like this. The only difference was that he became these many characters. It is a part of the plan, and it seems to be a very important part now! If there are still some obstacles to the development of the Song family in the mainland, then the response to future industrial restructuring is obviously an important part of it. The Song family can be said to be an outlier among the large and small red families in the country. Although they also focus on interests, they can But there has always been no shortage of wise men. Because of this, the Song family did not have too short-sighted and ugly expressions. It is ugly to be scolded by the people, and even worse, no one can guarantee that one day it will become a handle for others to fight. Probably because of this, the Song family did not act aggressively as if they wanted to swallow the entire Hexi Heavy Industry Industry. Instead, they started from other aspects first, such as Qiao Luowei's Huayang Commercial Building. product of strategy. And now for the Song family, Du Yan's restructuringThe proposal became a powerful tool for them to finally remove obstacles. What is Gao Yubing doing at this time? Are you reporting to Song Youbo or adjusting the price with Yang Weiquan? Du Yan couldn't help but smile slightly. He had never thought that Gao Yubing would meet Gao Ke at this time. The reason was very simple. Firstly, Gao Yubing was not qualified. Secondly, as Song Youbo's secretary, he was working with a then provincial governor. It is not appropriate to meet for a long time, whether on business or in private. A faint fragrance came from behind. Smelling the scent of lavender, Du Yan slowly turned around and saw Qiao Luowei walking slowly. Qiao Luowei was wearing dark clothes and looked increasingly colder in the night. When they walked to the fence, she stood side by side with Du Yan but did not speak. "Mr. Qiao hasn't rested yet?" Du Yan felt that he had to say something. He was a little embarrassed when he remembered that he asked Qiao Luowei to pour him tea before. "Can't sleep." Maybe it was a bit cold at night, Qiao Luowei folded his arms slightly. Qiao Luowei's clothes are well-cut. Although they are loose-fitting home clothes, they still vaguely show off her graceful figure when worn on her. Different from Zhao Xiaoyun's hotness and Su Qian's gentleness, Qiao Luowei Wei's figure has the unique charm of a mature woman. The slightly plump but perfect vague curves made Du Yan standing aside look at it and couldn't help secretly guessing that when Song Jiayi's brother Song Jialai came, he didn't know what he used to be. Be obsessed with this mature woman in front of you. As if sensing Du Yan's gaze, Qiao Luowei turned her head to look at him. Seeing Du Yan's eyes looking at her figure, Qiao Luowei frowned slightly unnoticeably: "About that restructuring plan, I I want to ask if you think it will work? " Hearing Qiao Luowei ask this, Du Yan came to his senses slightly. As the daughter-in-law of the Song family, she naturally has to think about the interests of the Song family. This was nothing at first, but for some reason, thinking of this Du Yan made me feel unhappy. "As long as effective asset reorganization can be completed, and the corresponding additional costs are deducted, and the percentage of wages proposed in the plan is paid according to the new employee grades, I think you, Mr. Qiao, can also think of the remaining The new heavy machinery company must be a piece of fat enough. " Du Yan did not say something directly, that is, if the Song family used their influence to reach some kind of private agreement with the local government on the price of purchasing the heavy machinery factory. Agreement, it is estimated that the entire restructuring plan will fall in front of the Song family like a piece of pie falling from the sky. More importantly, this restructuring is just the beginning. As long as it operates smoothly, it can become a fixed model and be promoted. As more and more people participate, then it will be a real feast. meal. Du Yan has already guessed this kind of thing. The Song family may not be so greedy, and at least they will consider eating. But other people will never have such scruples. They will only become crazier and greedier. As for The countless workers and their families who were abandoned because of this feast were not considered by these people. "I'm asking about the workers' collective joint-stock company you're talking about." Qiao Luowei supported the wooden fence with his palms and leaned forward slightly to look at Du Yan. "Do you think the workers will accept a maximum of less than 70% or even lower than the original one?" Salary? And how do you ensure that future benefits can be maintained for a long time? You have to know that there will be more and more retirees. Even if workers are asked to pay pensions every month, you will not be able to pay that amount over time. It's a big expense, can you imagine how big that number is? " Qiao Luowei's series of questions surprised Du Yan. He didn't expect Qiao Luowei to care about these things, although he thought that Gao Yubing might have entrusted her with this. I asked myself, but if Qiao Luowei didn't care, he wouldn't accept such a commission. Thinking of these Du Yan was somewhat gratifying. "First of all, the employee company has an annual land rental fee, which itself is a considerable fixed income. Mr. Qiao, you should know that the use of land resources is becoming more and more valuable, so the land will naturally appreciate in the future. This is enough in the first place. Guarantee a basic income. In addition, I believe that with the future economic development, workers' wages will definitely increase accordingly. You may not know this, Mr. Qiao, but at least I know that the wages of ordinary people are now higher than in previous years. I believe it will grow in the future. This means that a rising tide lifts all boats." Du Yan had a confident smile on his face. Although he saw Qiao Luowei's hesitation after hearing his words, he deliberately ignored it. Sometimes. It¡¯s better to pretend to be stupid than to be too smart. ¡°In addition, regarding the employee company, I am considering that it is not possible to simply sign a labor contract with the future Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd., but also to have more management and export-oriented labor directions. For example, we can use Internal funds provide short-term, low-interest loans to workers to lay the foundation for their own business. They can even contact other districts and counties in Taihua to lease large amounts of land to allow workers to start their own businesses.Organize and form production groups to develop small-scale intensive farms. I can directly launch a pilot project in the new area. " "Small intensive farm? "Qiao Luowei's face suddenly changed. She turned slightly and looked at the old people in the distance who were returning to the hotel because it was getting late. "Aren't you just working as a commune production team? You know, this is in serious conflict with the country¡¯s policy on the rural land contract system. If you do this, a caring person will be able to crush you to death with a reverse hat. " Looking at Qiao Luowei's rare expression of emotion, Du Yan felt an indescribable throbbing in his heart. Looking at the suffocatingly exquisite face that was so close to him, Du Yan couldn't help but raise his hand. Feeling the urge to touch her, a relaxed smile appeared on her face: "Mr. Qiao, please don't scare me. I'm a timid person. This is a matter of principle of right and wrong. " As he said that, Du Yan moved back slightly and looked at that face. He didn't know if he would do something bad on impulse. He just thought about what if Zhao Xiaoyun knew that he had offended Qiao Luowei. After the crazy move, the thoughts that had just risen in Du Yan's heart immediately disappeared. Qiao Luowei seemed to find that she was a little excited. She walked away, then sat on a wicker chair with her hands on her shoulders. Come down. "Don't worry, Mr. Qiao, I don't even understand this most basic thing. After all, I am also a small bureaucrat at the county level, right?" " Du Yan made a joke casually, but then regretted it. He remembered that Zhao Xiaoyun once said that she and Qiao Luowei called themselves little bureaucrats behind the scenes. Now that he said this, he was exposed in front of Qiao Luowei. When Zhao Xiaoyun was with him, he even told himself the private conversations between the two of them. Sure enough, Qiao Luowei was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything when he saw Qiao Luowei looking at him calmly. Du Yan could only continue: "The small-scale intensive farm I am talking about is simply an enlarged household-based system. It is different from the previous commune production teams. Speaking of which, even in the Western countries have also implemented it and even succeeded. I believe that as long as it is explained clearly, it shouldn't be a problem. " Qiao Luowei looked at Du Yan with an inexplicable look in his eyes, and then asked: "But even so, don't you know that even farmers are unwilling to farm at home and go out to work for many reasons? How much benefit can you get from the food you harvest? "Mr. Qiao, I didn't say we must grow food," Du Yan laughed. He saw Qiao Luowei seemed to have a hint of displeasure on his face because of his teasing. He immediately put away his smile and explained, "Farm High-quality and high-yielding fruit trees can be planted in a large area, and these can be specially supplied to wineries in new areas. After all, the variety of green fruit wine needs to be expanded. There is a big demand for various grades of brewing raw materials required for various grades of wine. In addition, it can Intensive cultivation of various vegetable agricultural and sideline products. As for sales, I have already thought about it. In the near future, long-distance transportation can be completed through the existing Shuangdui material transportation company in the new area. In the later stage, the employee company can establish a comprehensive logistics and transportation company by itself. "Speaking of this, Du Yan took a deep breath of the refreshing night breeze. "In the future, people's living standards will be higher. Maybe some of these farms can specialize in planting various high-value ornamental flowers, or consider planting large-scale flowers in the future. The market for the unique tree species needed for greening is huge! " Du Yan's words made Qiao Luowei think about everything, but at this moment Du Yan suddenly said to her: "Mr. Qiao, have you ever considered building a supermarket chain? " "You said it's a supermarket? "Qiao Luowei pondered for a moment and then frowned slightly, "Your idea is good, but the current living standards in the mainland" "Mr. Qiao, you don't have to open this supermarket in Tongyang," Du Yan said with his hands. Pointing slightly to the southwest, "For example, in the southwest, Jincheng and Nanyu have great potential, and are good places to accumulate a lot of experience. As for Tongyang, it actually has great potential. For example, you don't need to go to supermarkets like those in coastal cities." A small supermarket chain that is completely in the style of a community convenience store is very good. We have that kind of old cooperative in the county. However, both the products inside and the service of the sales staff are very poor. If you can establish such a A pure small retail supermarket, I think the competitiveness will definitely be much stronger than that of a cooperative, because all your purchasing channels can get rid of various links. For example, for vegetables, your supermarket can order and sell directly from the farm, and then use a dedicated Logistics and transportation companies deliver directly to supermarket outlets in various places. As a result, both the cost and the freshness of the vegetables are by no means comparable to ordinary cooperatives. " Qiao Luowei's mouth opened slightly. She looked at Du Yan curiously. She was really surprised that Du Yan suddenly thought of these things in his mind. The key point is that these things are actually nothing, but if you don't point them out clearly, , even if someone does it accidentally, the whole thing will not be completely connected to form a structure.But now, Du Yan's words made Qiao Luowei seem to see a huge system gradually taking shape that encompasses almost all levels of society, from state-owned heavy industry to rural production intensification, and even to the specific retail end and the middle. Logistics and transportation, Qiao Luowei felt a little suffocated for a moment. All these ideas and plans seemed to be revealed casually, but Qiao Luowei had a vague feeling that the people and people who would be involved behind this were However, it is very likely that it will become a behemoth that is interconnected and has huge benefits. Qiao Luowei stared at Du Yan, who looked a little energetic in the night. She found that only at this time, Du Yan's face showed the vigor and sharpness unique to young people. He was usually calm and calm like the one that people are familiar with. Compared to Director Du, Du Yan felt inexplicably real at this time. "But have you thought about the funds needed for this?" But Qiao Luowei didn't want to let Du Yan go so easily, although his few words had already made her see a person who might not be seen by many powerful people because he didn't It was a huge potential market that had always been ignored due to its insignificant appearance, but she felt that the young man in front of her was like a sponge whose size was unclear. As long as she applied a little more force, she might be able to squeeze out more things. "You Although the prospects mentioned above look very good, whether it is the foundation of the employees' joint-stock company or the low-interest loans you mentioned, the basic reserves required and the liquidity after operation are not a small amount. , Although it may not be obvious at first, as long as you have not fully formed the system, the capital circulation will take a long time. How can you ensure that there will be no problems in your capital chain? "Although you already have a solution in your mind? , but Qiao Luowei still deliberately embarrassed Du Yan. For some reason, she suddenly had the idea of ??asking her for help after seeing Du Yan at his wits' end. However, Du Yan's face did not show the look that Qiao Luowei wanted to see. On the contrary, he laughed: "I have already thought about this. While establishing a city credit union-style mutual aid fund, I plan to introduce outside "Funds." "Oh? What are you going to do, get a loan from the bank?" Qiao Luowei smiled but secretly gritted his teeth. I wonder how long you can last. "How is that possible? The bank knows who I am in this employee collective joint-stock company?" Du Yan laughed softly, and then a hint of mischief appeared in his eyes. "I'm talking about introducing current private financial capital, especially some financial investment companies." "Are you planning on Su Qian's financial advisory center?" Qiao Luowei looked stunned. "She is my wife, what ideas are unpleasant," Du Yan muttered in a low voice, and then said to Qiao Luowei, "Mobilize the funds that can be invested to form a complete investment system, and at the same time, the generous rate of return can provide financial investors with In exchange for higher rewards, this is my plan. " Qiao Luowei seemed to have a look of disappointment on her face, but then she looked at Du Yan with a hint of realization: "You asked Su Qian to do this small amount in Donghai City. Securities agent, was this the idea at that time? " "I don't deny Mr. Qiao," Du Yan's expression straightened slightly. He knew that something must be said clearly. Only in this way can he get help from Qiao Luowei. "Su Qian's securities agency is affiliated with Huachang's company in Donghai. Mr. Qiao, I can assure you that once it makes a profit, Huachang will also receive a sufficient share of the profit return. " Qiao Luowei looked at Du Yan with emotion. , Once upon a time, when I first saw this young man on the street in Pingling, he was just a township cadre. At that time, he did not attract my attention at all. But now, this young man can actually stand in front of him and say that he can share interests with Huachang, but he knows that his words are not bragging at all, because if everything really develops as he imagined, among them How great are the benefits contained and how many people will be involved behind it? Even the old men of the Song family cannot take it lightly. This change has only occurred in just over two years. Qiao Luowei looked at Du Yan steadily until she felt that something was wrong with her behavior. She lowered her head slightly and said, "It's very late. Go to bed early. We have to go down the mountain tomorrow morning." Then she turned and walked towards the hotel. . But after taking a few steps, Qiao Luowei stopped and turned around and said to Du Yan: "Xiaoyun returned to the capital yesterday, you can figure it out yourself." Volume 4, "Volume 3, Official Sailing" Chapter 86, "Evil Young Man" Du Yan held a folded piece of paper in his hand. This was Zhao Xiaoyun's number in the capital given to him by Qiao Luowei. At that time, Qiao Luowei didn't say anything else. She just told him the day before that it was completely up to him to make this call. Holding the note in his hand, Du Yan's heart was tumbling. Several times he mustered up the courage to open it, but was controlled by inexplicable fear again and again. Du Yan knew that Zhao Xiaoyun returned to the capital this time, most likely to meet her previous fianc¨¦. Perhaps this was a small trick her brother Zhao Youxun once made. Although Zhao Youxun seemed to acquiesce, he never gave up on separating them. Du Yan knew his plan very well. But it was precisely because of this that the piece of paper seemed extremely heavy in his hand. As long as he opens it, he can contact Zhao Xiaoyun. Maybe this is what Zhao Xiaoyun expects, otherwise Qiao Luowei will not leave him this number, but similarly, as long as he picks up the phone, the thread of worry that was finally disconnected by Zhao Xiaoyun will be Tie two people together again! Let things pass like this, and then everyone may slowly forget each other, Du Yan thought in his heart, Su Qian's virtuous yet vaguely sad figure passed through Du Yan's mind. Du Yan feels guilty towards Su Qian. Compared with the love between two generations that Su Qian has always pinned on him, he owes too much. Although Su Qian now has changed a lot compared to her previous life in many places, Du Yan Not only did I feel that my debt to her had not diminished, but I felt an unspeakable bitterness in my heart every time I thought of it. Just let things pass, Du Yan told himself again. He looked outside the car. He felt that the note in his hand had been torn apart. When he exerted slight force again, only he He could hear the sound of tearing, and the note was finally torn into several pieces between his fingers. Du Yan opened the car window and faced the mountain breeze that immediately poured in. He stretched out his hand and opened it with his palm. The torn note immediately disappeared from his hand. Everything is over, Du Yan told himself softly in his heart. Looking at his empty palms, his heart did not feel relaxed. Instead, an indescribable emptiness made him feel uncomfortable and wanted to cry. Only then did he suddenly realize that Zhao Xiaoyun was equally important in his mind. It was so important that at this moment, he felt an indescribable pain in his heart, as if he had lost something important and precious! Du Yan closed his eyes and leaned his head on the backrest of the car. Only in this way could he suppress the tears in his eyes from flowing down. He couldn't cry, at least he couldn't let others see him cry! At this time, Du Yan suddenly felt that he had an unspeakable jealousy towards Song Jiayi. Why could he enjoy the family happiness without any scruples while staying and flying with Miss Ou? It was really just because he was not in the system. Is that why you can be so free? Du Yan knew that this was not the case in fact. Just as Zhao Youxun said at the beginning, didn't even Song Jiayi's father have an illegitimate son like Song Jialai? Even if it hadn't been for the accidental death of Song Jialai, maybe Song Jialai would have been fully cultivated by the Song family. The main successor in the future. So, the reason why they can do this is just because they have power! He still has no power and is still a nobody in the eyes of these people. Because of this, Zhao Youxun has always disapproved of his sister being with him. What would happen to Zhao Youxun if he were replaced by Song Jiayi? Du Yan clenched his fists tightly together, and it even hurt because he clenched them so tightly, but only in this way could he slightly distract himself from the impact of the pain in his heart. Power, will you have the opportunity to truly control your own destiny? Du Yan couldn't help but ask himself. As the car gradually entered the city and looked at the huge army of bicycles slowly advancing on the street outside to go to work, Du Yan suddenly felt a huge confidence arise spontaneously. Isn¡¯t everything you have done just for a moment like this? Just look at all the living beings outside, just look at the huge group of workers who go to and from get off work on time every morning and rely on their regular work every day, he will know that his opportunity has arrived. Everything was in his restructuring proposal. Now that he thought about it, Du Yan even felt that he should thank Qiao Luowei for taking the initiative and sending that proposal to Song Youbo. No matter what her purpose was at the time, although it seemed a bit risky. , but at least it saved me a lot of detours, and it was possible that the restructuring proposal attracted the attention of some people from the beginning! Since the feast of restructuring is inevitable, then let yourself be the first person to swing the sword, and the first person to cut off the first piece of fat in this feast will also become the rule maker of this game. . "Little girl""It depends on our fate," Du Yan said softly in his heart, "If we were destined, we wouldn't end up like this." ¡± Hexi Provincial Department of Industry is located on Laogai Street, Tongyang City. In the early years, it was once a famous silk and satin shop in Tongyang, and later became the office of the Provincial Department of Industry. Although the gate of the Industrial Department has been repaired, it can be seen It looks more like an old house than an institution. Sitting in the reception room facing the street, you can see the cars coming in and out, so when you see the car Du Yan is riding in, it is a little unfamiliar. It turns out that the doorman is The two people chatting in the room immediately walked out of the room "Stop!" "The guard shouted. Looking at Audi who was almost stopped against his trouser legs, the guard's face immediately darkened. "Which unit are you from? Do you know the rules here? ¡± Looking at the doorman¡¯s face that looked like it was worth 258,000 yuan, Du Yan shook his head secretly. They all said that the king of hell is very difficult to deal with, but this little doorman is so domineering. From this, we can imagine the people inside who have low official positions. , but it is often the section chief who is more arrogant, what will he look like? "Which unit is he from? "The doorman still asked loudly, although he noticed that there seemed to be some kind of hot sign on the windshield of the car, but because the sign looked unfamiliar, he didn't pay much attention to it. Du Yan lowered the window. Li poked his head out slightly and said to the guard who was looking down at the car: "I'm here to see Han Qiushi from the Provincial Department. " "Han Qiushi? The guard was stunned. He turned back to another person behind him and asked with some confusion, "Is there a leader named Han in our hall?" " "No" The other guard was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly remembered and asked tentatively, "Is he looking for Old Han from the logistics department, the same Old Han who is said to know how to do a few tricks? " "Oh, yes, I remembered that there is such a person," the guard in front of him nodded immediately. The slightly flattering look that he was confused about when Du Yan directly called Han Qiushi's name without using his position immediately disappeared. "I want to see Lao Han from the logistics department. Have you contacted him for business? Don't go this way, go from the back. Do you think you can just walk through the main entrance by driving an Audi? Don't even look where it is. " The guard said loudly. At the same time, he looked behind Du Yan's car. His face suddenly changed, and at the same time, he waved his hands even harder: "Get out of the way quickly, didn't you see the leader coming? ! " A black car stopped behind Du Yan's Audi, and a short horn sounded at the same time. This made the look on the doorman's face become even more ugly. He reached out and knocked hard on the Audi door, and the sound became louder. De roared even more fiercely: "Did you hear that? Get out of here!" " The car door made a muffled "dong" sound, and Du Yan's face suddenly darkened. Du Yan slowly opened the car door and walked out of the car. He looked at the guard in front of him with a low expression, and then looked back at the car behind him. It obviously belongs to a certain leader. ¡°What are you doing? "The two guards immediately gathered together and said, "I want you to leave quickly. Do you hear me? You are blocking the way." " "Why did you smash the car door? "Du Yan looked at the guard coldly. He had become a little irritable because of Zhao Xiaoyun's departure. Because of this sudden incident, he immediately had the urge to explode. "It's normal for me to come to the Provincial Department of Industry. At work, is this how you usually treat your comrades who come to do things? Or is this how your leader tells you to treat others? A little doorman is so arrogant and domineering. Is this your work attitude? Or is it that the Industry Department of your province is the best in the world and cannot touch the butt of a tiger? " Du Yan's words made the guard who was worried because his car blocked the leader's car behind him turn red and white. Seeing that the leader's car was blocked out of the yard, another guard stretched out his hand in desperation. He grabbed Du Yan's collar and said, "You're here to make trouble, right? Lao Qian quickly called the security office and said that someone was making trouble at the gate! " "Okay" The previous doorman turned around and was about to enter the reception room, but just when he turned around, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and then he was knocked to the ground by the driver who got off the Audi! And in After putting down Lao Qian, the young driver did not stop, and in a flash he was in front of the guard who was holding Du Yan's collar. As he grabbed the guard's arm and twisted it hard, with a scream, the guard His arms were pinned to the ground, and a cold gun was pressed against the guard's temple. "Don't move!" If you move, I'll kill you! " The dispute at the door originally attracted people who couldn't help but look over. They were stunned by this sudden scene! Guns are originally an extremely sensitive thing in China. For most ordinary people, except in movies, Many people may have never seen what a real gun looks like in their lives.p; What¡¯s more, having a gun pointed at your head is something that has never happened before. As for the fact that someone would pull out a gun at the gate of a dignified provincial government agency, this is something that many people would never imagine in their lifetime! Even Du Yan looked at the scene that happened in front of him in astonishment. He never expected that the driver who Song Jiayi randomly arranged to take him down the mountain would actually carry a gun with him. He didn¡¯t expect that the driver would cause such a big fuss just because the guard grabbed his collar! For a time, everyone inside and outside the Provincial Department of Industry was stunned by this sudden scene! Du Yan leaned against the open car door, looking at this unbelievable scene. He felt incredible at first, and then suddenly felt the urge to laugh. This was because he suddenly realized that his previous dream was now It doesn't seem so far-fetched. It's just that this time is really not a time to make people laugh. As the people around them woke up and started to really scream out of fright, someone was already running towards us in the distance. Even a traffic policeman at the intersection further away seemed to be there. Having noticed that the situation here was different, he took the walkie-talkie and started calling. Du Yan has completely calmed down. From the fact that the driver Song Jiayi arranged for him is actually armed with a gun, he has already guessed that this person should have a similar identity to Zhao Xiaoyun around Qiao Luowei. It's just that Du Yan, Song Jiayi's former bodyguard named Chai, knew him, so he thought that this person was just an ordinary driver. Now that he saw that Song Jiayi could let his personal bodyguard drive him, he thought that Song Jiayi would treat him or rather him. What kind of emphasis is placed on that restructuring plan? At this time, Du Yan simply put his arms around his shoulders, leaned against the car door and watched the scene in front of him. Since the matter was out, let's just make a fuss. Anyway, it was Song Jiayi's person who pulled the gun, and the matter was serious. Naturally, the Song family will step in to solve the problem. As for myself, I might as well take this opportunity to show my face in Tongyang. This may not be a bad thing in the future. After thinking about this, Du Yan first said to the driver who was still holding the doorman on the ground with a gun, "Xiao Wang, let him go." Then he tilted his head slightly towards the driver who just ran over, but saw The person from the Security Office of the Industrial Administration glanced at the person who was dumbfounded as if someone was holding a pistol. "You, who are you?!" One of the leading cadres pointed at Du Yan with a pale face. He never expected that he would encounter such a thing on a normally ordinary morning. Seeing the "gangster" with a gun, he heard After receiving the instructions from the young man who was leaning on the car and looking a little dazed and dissolute, he let go of the guard. He immediately realized that this young man should be the leader. However, although the "gangster" put away his pistol, he breathed a sigh of relief, but when the security cadre shouted these words, his voice was still out of tune because he was too nervous. "We are just here to do business," Du Yan still leaned on the car, "but the attitude of the people here is too bad, so my driver just gave him a lesson." "Do you know where this place is? "After calming down for a while, the security cadre realized that the two people in front of him were unlikely to be gangsters. But then he asked fiercely, "Which unit are you from? Do you know the behavior of pulling out guns at will? What is the nature of it? " "What this person did just now has threatened the safety of the chief. According to the relevant security regulations, I can take all measures and kill him if necessary." Xiao Wang looked at the security cadre with a cold expression, although he was just a simple man. Standing there, but from his upright posture, several security personnel from the Provincial Department of Industry with military experience immediately saw that this was a well-trained soldier. "Chief?" The security cadres were a little confused. Although Tongyang is the provincial capital city, where the provincial party committee, provincial government and all provincial agencies are located, anyone with a little experience will know that the word "chief" is not casual. Anyone can enjoy it, let alone a "chief" with a driver with a gun. "You, may I ask who you are" Du Yan ignored the security officer. He knew that Xiao Wang would press "" as soon as he came up. In the name of "chief", he was obviously making excuses for his previous action of drawing a gun. Although he really had nothing to do with the chief, if he was determined by the security regulations followed by people like Xiao Wang, he would be the one to be escorted by him. , more or less can be regarded as the top one to rely on. In addition, Du Yan slightly glanced at Xiao Wang, who was standing nearby, looking like he could stand in front of him at any time. This young man may not have been instructed by Song Jiayi to do this, and he was looking for an opportunity to show his goodwill. , if that's the case, then let him go through the trouble, what's the point of having such a good thing?Are you happy? Seeing that the two people in front of him were ignoring him, the security cadre couldn't help but blush. He couldn't just let go of the two troublemakers who had just returned the pistol, but because he didn't know their depth, he acted rashly, but just like that Spending time was really no solution. For a moment, he felt as if the countless pairs of eyes looking over at him from inside and outside the door were poking at him with countless steel needles! At this moment, the passenger door of the black car blocked by Du Yan's Audi suddenly opened, and a young man in a black suit slowly leaned out of the car. "What a coincidence, Director Du." There was a meaningful smile on the young man's face. He walked up to Du Yan under the attention of countless eyes. When he passed by Xiao Wang, the young man looked at him with vigilant eyes. Xiao Wang noticed him and smiled slightly. "Brother Chu, why is it you? I really didn't expect this," Du Yan looked at the young man who suddenly appeared with a little surprise. He never expected that he would meet Chu Yilan's brother Chu Yijun. When he saw Chu Yijun, he couldn't help but glance at the black car behind him that was tightly blocked by his car, and then showed a wry smile on his face, "That car behind can't be" "Well," Chu Yijun Holding back his smile, he looked at Du Yan. Seeing Du Yan's face collapse, he chuckled and stretched out his hand to signal, "Come over, I'm waiting for you." Du Yan smiled bitterly and walked towards the car behind him. He never expected that he would He acted like a bad boy once, and this person actually saw him. "Are you Chu Chu?" The security cadre called out in a low voice after recognizing Chu Yijun. Seeing the serious look in Chu Yijun's eyes when he turned around, the cadre immediately closed his mouth, and then immediately He turned around and told the people around him, "Hurry up and maintain order. Let everyone disperse. What's there to see?" Then he ordered in a low voice and urgently, "Go and report, Minister Liang of the Provincial Party Committee is here." The car window behind slowly opened After falling, Liang Benchu, the Organization Minister of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee in the car, slightly looked out at Du Yan, who was looking down at him sheepishly. "You are so majestic after I haven't seen you for a while," Liang Benchu ??said with no expression on his face, but then he said, "Get in the car." When Han Qiushi heard the news and rushed to the gate, it was already empty, with the only person left behind. Yes, it was the same look that the cadres around him gave him. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 87 Minister Liang's Instructions Liang Benchu's car slowly drove around the outer courtyard toward the parking lot behind the Production and Industry Hall. Because the location of the Provincial Department of Industry used to be a silk and satin factory, there was naturally no large yard for parking. It was no big deal at first. But as more and more vehicles came and went for business, this difficulty became apparent. So a few years ago, we took advantage of the opportunity. With the renovation and expansion, the Provincial Department of Industry converted a piece of land behind it into its own parking lot. However, the responsibilities of the doorman became heavier. After all, if foreign vehicles are allowed to penetrate into the backyard of the Provincial Department, they must be guarded at the door. close. Before the car stopped, several officials from the Department of Production and Industry who had heard the news had already hurried over. What's a little funny is that although it was already mid-May, the weather was not very hot after all, but running in A cadre in front raised his hand to wipe his forehead while running, as if it was a scorching dog day. Chu Yijun had already gotten out of the car early. He opened the door on Liang Benchu's side before the cadres rushed over to grab him. However, just when Du Yan was about to turn around and open his door on his side to get out of the car, he was already leaning out. Liang Benchu ??turned around and waved to stop. "Just wait for me in the car. I won't be able to stay here for long." After speaking, Liang Benchu ??walked out of the car, leaving Du Yan alone in the car and closing the door. Liang Benchu's actions made several leaders of the Provincial Department of Industry secretly pay attention. Liang Benchu ??only gave instructions to the people in the car but did not address them. This shows that either this person is not important, or the relationship between this person and Liang Benchu ??is different and not related to him. These details require too much attention. Of course, this person was not an unimportant person, otherwise he would not be sitting with Liang Benzhu, so several provincial and department leaders could not help but greet Liang Benzhu with smiles on their faces, while stealing glances at the car where the door had not been closed. One glance. Naturally, the purpose of doing this was to see who was in the car. After all, in a place like Tongyang, the water is deep and shallow. Whether you can climb a high branch is another matter. Don't know what the person's origin has offended and what should not be offended. Talent is the key. Of course, if there was a young and beautiful woman sitting in the car, these people would immediately pretend to turn a blind eye, but when they saw that it was a young man standing at the front, the provincial department leaders secretly took notice. At this moment, several cadres who followed from inside gave a few hurried reports in the ears of the deputy director in charge of the provincial office behind him, which made the deputy director's face change instantly. He looked forward uneasily, and then after seeing that the greetings between the director and Liang Benchu ??had come to an end, he squeezed forward and whispered a few words in the director's ear. The director¡¯s expression moved slightly, he glanced at Nissan who had closed the car door next to him, and then took a few steps forward to reach Liang Benchu, who was shaking hands with a deputy inspector of the provincial department. "Minister Liang, I want to review this with you," said Director Li of the Department of Industry, which shocked everyone around him. "Our Department of Industry has not educated its employees well, and has encouraged bureaucracy and bureaucracy in the work." Consciousness, I want to make a profound review to you, and also to some comrades who have been treated unfairly." Director Li glanced at the Nissan car naturally as he spoke, then turned back and looked at it sincerely. Liang Benchu, that look seemed to indicate that if Liang Benchu ??didn't criticize him severely, he wouldn't be able to eat lunch. Liang Benchu ??looked at Director Li, and he naturally knew that Director Li's pretentiousness was just to please him: "Old Li, this time I came here just for a temporary purpose, mainly because I heard that you have a rotation training for middle-aged and young cadres here. The class has done well. Let¡¯s come here to listen to your experience and see if it can be promoted in the province. After all, the echelon role of young and middle-aged cadres cannot be ignored.¡± Director Li immediately ignored Liang Benchu¡¯s words. I realized that Minister Liang didn't want to mention this matter. In this case, my move might not only not be favored by Minister Liang, but it might have some impact. Director Li had a thought in his mind, but his face immediately changed to a look of enlightenment. While remaining humble, he immediately asked the deputy director in charge of organizational work next to him to follow him so that he could report to Director Liang at any time. With just such a delay, the people next to him almost knew what had just happened at the gate. For a while, people couldn't help but be secretly curious about the vague figure sitting in the Nissan car. At the same time, they were also curious about Liang Benchu ??and Liang Benchu. I wonder what the relationship between this mysterious figure is. Although Du Yan couldn't hear the conversation outside while sitting in the car, he could roughly guess from the scene that the leaders of the Provincial Department of Industry probably knew about the scene he made at the door, which is why Liang Benchu ??didn't let him get out of the car. The reason is that if he got off the car with him, it would probably be embarrassing for everyone now. The driver sitting in front looked ahead silently, while Du Yan sat in the back and gently touched his knees with his fingers, although heIt turns out that the car is not Liang Benchu's own, and the license plate is just an ordinary car number from the provincial party committee, but after all, the leader is riding in the car, so he can't look around and move around while sitting in it. The Audi that Xiao Wang drove did not follow him in. He thought that if he openly pulled out a gun at the gate of a provincial government agency in broad daylight, things always had to be explained, but he was not worried that Xiao Wang would be in trouble. After all, those people had many solutions and he didn't need to worry about them. I don't know how long it took, but a man appeared and stood not far from Liang Benchu's car. This caught the driver's attention. He looked out through the window. Du Yan couldn't help but look back, and saw Han Qiushi. Standing there with a puzzled expression on his face. "He's looking for me, a friend." Du Yan explained to the driver with a polite smile. Those who can drive for the leader are often the leader's confidants. Although such people may not be able to help, if a manager cannot It might do you bad things. "Should I ask him to come up?" the driver asked. "No, I'll just say a few words to him." Du Yan opened the car door and walked out. Although Liang Benchu ??told him not to get out of the car, he couldn't let Han Qiushi get in too. People must be self-aware. If they don't know how to advance or retreat, then It will give people the impression of frivolity. Seeing Du Yan get out of the car, Han Qiushi's initially doubtful face showed a hint of surprise. He had heard someone say that a young man came to see him. Although he had already thought that it might be Du Yan, he rushed to the gate. What he heard were rumors that even Han Qiushi, who was as calm as he was, couldn't help but be shocked. He only saw the Audi that was said to have caused trouble parked in the front yard, and several security department cadres were negotiating with a young man who looked very strange, but he did not see anyone he knew. After hearing that the gun pulling incident actually occurred, although he didn't know if the person looking for him was Du Yan, Han Qiushi was already prepared to accept the notification from the security department. After all, this matter was related to him, so he might as well just I didn't even go, so I went into the reception room and waited. However, what surprised Han Qiushi was that although the cadres of the security department came to call him quickly, their attitude was indescribably polite. When he walked to the Audi car, the security cadre in charge was even more When asked politely about his department and work, he seemed not to be as domineering as usual in the security department. Han Qiushi soon knew that the reason for all this came from the strange young man who stood silently next to the Audi car. At the same time, he also quickly discovered that there was something unusual in the young man's movements that only an expert could sense. of stability. To Han Qiushi¡¯s surprise, the young man told him with certainty that not only did the ¡°chief¡± come to see him, but he should have already entered the parking lot of the Provincial Department of Industry with a leader by this time. As for the news he just heard, Han Qiushi knew that the leader should be Liang Benchu, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee. Han Qiushi felt even more curious. He didn't know who could have such a driver. It was said that he could even carry a weapon with him. Judging from the attitude of the department's security cadres, this person should have a good background. As for there being another person who could match Liang Benchu's When people he knew called him by name, it made Han Qiushi even more strange. He thought that neither his father nor he had ever known such an obviously unusual person. So when he saw Du Yan getting out of the car, Han Qiushi was surprised at first, but then felt that all this seemed to be natural. Thinking about the scene Du Yan had seen when he was in Shanghai, Han Qiushi had already secretly He recognized Du Yan as a red descendant with a profound background. "Director Du, I didn't expect it to be you." Han Qiushi smiled and stretched out his hand. His face was calm, and he did not show any nervousness or clinging expression because of Du Yan's series of unexpected actions. It seemed that in his eyes, this young man was still The new district director of Taihua whom he met before. Du Yan and Han Qiushi's hands were slightly clasped together. He heard about Han Qiushi's indifferent character from Han Bing. Speaking of which, he always thought that Han Bing had a deep Electra complex. Maybe it was because of this that she She will be so obsessed with herself who will be much older than her. Du Yan had to admit that Han Qiushi was indeed a handsome man with a charming appearance and mature charm. The older he got, the more he looked like a killer of girls who longed for sweet dreams. He remembered that Han Bing told him that in her father's workplace Some young girls in the family once secretly wrote love letters to Han Qiushi. It is said that every time he talked about this, Qian Su would laugh endlessly and make fun of her husband. "Qiushi, we met in a hurry two days ago and broke up. Originally, I wanted to wait for your call before talking to you, but I happened to be delayed for some time in the provincial capital, so I just came to you directly." Du Yan As for Han Qiushi, in fact, although he didn't know what Han Qiushi's situation was in the work unit, he thought it wouldn't be too good, soThis time he planned to have a good talk with Han Qiushi to see if Han Qiushi was willing to go to Pingling. , More importantly, Du Yan could never forget Han Bing's subsequent consequences. Han Bing's miserable figure always lingered in his mind. It even became Du Yan's terrible nightmare sometimes late at night, so he It is even more difficult to give up paying attention to Han Qiushi's family. Han Qiushi looked at Du Yan in surprise. He didn't expect that Du Yan would go to the Provincial Department of Industry to find him for him, and even cause such a big fight. In his memory, there was nothing else between him and Du Yan. There was a brief period of contact and contact in Shanghai, and I once saw this young man outside my home. But it can be said that Du Yan planned to become a disciple purely because he admired his father's reputation. The cost of this Zhouzhang was too high. After all, although his father easily refused to accept apprentices, it was mainly because most young people nowadays are only three minutes hot, or are learning. When he has some skills, he likes to be brave and aggressive, so he is more strict, but after all, he is not the kind of stubborn person who cherishes his own things. With Du Yan's conditions, if he really wants to learn, it will not be difficult. In this case, why bother with so much effort? Han Qiushi didn't hide his confusion, so when Du Yan saw his expression, he understood what he was thinking. However, Du Yan really couldn't think of a specific reason to explain it. He couldn't tell people that he had been Missing his precious daughter, I guess if he said that, before Xiao Wang could come to his rescue, Han Qiushi would have beaten him to the point where he could no longer take care of himself. Since there was no reasonable explanation, Du Yan simply stopped being distracted by this. He looked at the cadres of the provincial industry departments who were looking at him in the distance, and then said to Han Qiushi: "Qiushi, I I sincerely want to invite you to our Pingling. I think you have also heard some rumors about Pingling during this period. Now the province is very concerned about Taihua and even Pingling, and I can reveal it to you. "Soon, with the direct attention of the relevant leaders, Pingling will make a series of big moves. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for everyone. I hope you can seriously consider it." Han Qiushi pondered Du Yan's words with his eyes. But he inadvertently looked at the Nissan car behind Du Yan. Being able to sit in the same car with the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Organization Director of the Provincial Party Committee already explains too many things, not to mention that Han Qiushi has seen what happened to Du Yan several times before, and everything explained that Du Yan Not only does he have a profound background, he also seems to have a wide range of interpersonal relationships, which is definitely beneficial to Han Qiushi. As for some of the recent rumors about Pingling mentioned by Du Yan, Han Qiushi is of course very clear. In fact, the entire Hexi Province is now discussing the signals sent by Governor Gao Ke during his inspection. Some people have even asserted that Gao Ke is likely to be It¡¯s time to show off your talents and work hard. All this made Han Qiushi feel that Du Yan's suggestion to him was completely feasible. More importantly, Han Qiushi himself knew his own affairs. His current situation in the Provincial Department of Industry was not only bad but even a bit frustrating, even if it really came to normal. If the tomb is not good, it won't be any worse than here. What's more, just as Han Qiushi thought, apart from his father and son's excellent martial arts, he really couldn't think of anything worth using in his family that Du Yan could use. Should he still be his bodyguard? Thinking that there was even a guard with a gun beside him, Han Qiushi thought this might be a bit funny. In this case, the only explanation is fate. Han Qiushi thought this helplessly, but he really couldn't think of any other reasons that would make Du Yan pay so much attention to him. "Okay Qiushi, this is not the place to talk in detail. Let's find a place to have a good chat tonight." Seeing a group of people approaching Liang Benchu ??from a distance, Du Yan whispered to Han Qiushi, "You can do it tonight." Come to Huayang Hotel to find me." Han Qiushi also saw a large number of leaders coming. He nodded immediately. When Du Yan got into the car, he immediately walked along and prepared to leave. However, before taking a few steps, he was suddenly called. He paused and said, "Old Han, come here." Han Qiushi turned around with some surprise and looked at Director Niu of the Logistics Department, who had always been unfaithful to him: "Director Niu, did you call me?" "That's right, Old Han. Come here." Director Niu took a few steps forward with a smile on his face. He looked at Liang Benchu ??who had already walked to the car and turned around to say goodbye to several leaders. "Old Han, don't leave yet. The leader in the hall will want to talk to you later. " Seeing the inquiring smile on Director Niu's face, Han Qiushi sighed slightly. He felt that he might be in a lot of trouble in the future, after all what he had experienced. After that, others will naturally look at him differently, and many troubles may soon follow. The root of all this comes from that young man. It seems that he really needs to make some preparations.   When Liang Benchu's car drove out of the gate, it stopped for a moment. Du Yan got out of the car and took a look, but he saw Xiao Wang standing casually in the Audi, and the security cadres from the Provincial Department of Industry had disappeared. Du Yan knew that nothing would happen. After telling Xiao Wang to go back and recover, Du Yan got into Liang Benchu's car again. Under the gaze of countless people, the black Nissan slowly slid out of the gate of the Provincial Department of Industry. Liang Benchu ??remained silent while sitting in the car. He leaned his head back on the backrest and closed his eyes to rest. The car seemed unusually quiet except for the sound of the vehicle moving. "Your behavior today is a bit out of line," Liang Benchu ??suddenly spoke. He opened his eyes slightly and saw Du Yan sitting upright and looking at him sideways. He raised his hand and pointed slightly at Chu Yijun in the front seat, "That's Yijun, before. Known as the No. 1 government office in Hexi, you are not as majestic as you are today. " "Pfft," Chu Yijun, who was sitting in the front seat, couldn't help but sneered. Then he turned around and said with a smile, "Minister, please don't touch me. "Bi, if I had done this, my legs would have been broken long ago." "Brother Chu, please don't hurt me" Du Yan had an embarrassed look on his face and was about to say something else, but then he noticed Liang Benchu. He seemed to be deep in thought and immediately fell silent. There was another brief silence in the car, but then Liang Benchu ??continued: "You have been in the limelight recently, and I know there is nothing you can do about it. After all, if you are not strong in the limelight, you may look nondescript, but you should understand that too much is not enough. " "Yes, Minister, I will do a deep review after I go back and pay attention to my words and deeds," Du Yan replied in a low voice. "That's not necessary." Liang Benchu ??shook his head slightly. "Since you have taken the lead, you have to do the work that needs to be done, and do the things that need to be done. But I remind you, no matter what you do, you must first stand from the standpoint of a party member cadre. , when necessary, we should consider the overall situation, and we should not make judgments based on personal reasons. That is a sign of irresponsibility for the work. " "I understand, Minister, I did not do enough in this regard," Du Yan said proudly. Yes, a strange feeling flashed through his heart. Speaking of which, although he and Liang Benchu ??had had several contacts at the provincial party school, in general the two were not familiar with each other, although he also knew that Liang Benchu ??should It belongs to the power of the Song family in Hexi, but he has never had much contact with it. Strictly speaking, he was not as familiar with Liang Benchu ??as he was with Chu Yijun, but now listening to Liang Benchu's words, although they sounded like criticism, there was a hint of encouragement in them, which reminded him of what he had said before. I have vaguely heard rumors that there seems to be some relationship between Liang Benchu ??and Qiao Luowei. At this moment, Liang Benchu's words directly proved what Du Yan was thinking: "Are you staying in a hotel in Huayang?" Du Yan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Liang Benchu ??actually knew that he lived in No, but this sentence can be regarded as a complete proof of his inner thoughts. ¡°Obviously, the reason why Liang Benchu ??was so familiar with his current situation was entirely because of Qiao Luowei. But despite thinking this, Du Yan nodded immediately, and Liang Benchu ??told the driver: "Go to Huayang Hotel." Along the way, Liang Benchu ??kept looking at the documents in his hands, and sat slightly further away from Du Yan to avoid suspicion. , he stared at the street scenes passing by outside, looked at this city that he was very familiar with, and imagined the changes that this city would usher in in the next few years, one after another that would affect the fate of countless people. Du Yan also speculated in his heart about what he might become in the future. It was not that close from the Provincial Department of Industry to the Huayang Hotel, but because of the provincial party committee license plate, it was smooth sailing all the way. Although I could feel that when passing through some intersections, the car owners who were specifically instructed to give way by the traffic police and the people on the road were The crowd looked at him strangely, but Du Yan had to admit that just the feeling of an unobstructed journey was enough to give people a desire for power. When the car stopped in front of Huayang Hotel, Liang Benchu ??raised his head. Because he didn't signal, Du Yan could only sit aside and wait. "Lao Xie, do you still have cigarettes?" Chu Yijun suddenly asked the driver next to him. Hearing Chu Yijun's question, the driver first touched his pocket casually, and then said, "Oh, unfortunately it's gone. I'll buy a box." He opened the door and got out of the car. "Yijun, stay here," Liang Benchu ??said to Chu Yijun, who was also about to get off the car, and then he said to Du Yan, "Xiao Du, I have read about your restructuring proposal." After seeing this, Liang Benchu ??said Getting to the point, Du Yan sat up straight and listened carefully, while thinking about Liang Benchu's thoughts. "It's very dangerous, do you know?" Liang Benchu ??was confused.He asked sarcastically, and then he smiled immediately, "But nothing you have done before was not dangerous. This is probably your character. You like to take risks and like to take chestnuts from the fire." Liang Benchu ??gestured to Chu Yijun, "You and Yi Jun is different, Yijun works steadily and by the rules, and because of the influence of his family, he can steadily improve in the future as long as he follows the rules. " Du Yan knew that although Liang Benchu ??didn't say it out loud, everyone knew it. . As the son of Chu Ping, Chu Yijun was born with an advantage in political resources that few others could match. As the secretary of the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, he gained enough interpersonal relationships. It can be said that Chu Yijun Although he has not held any political position so far, in the future, whether he works at the grassroots level in districts and counties or in directly affiliated agencies at all levels, Chu Yijun has already paved a smooth road of relationship in front of him. . As for Chu Yilan, she is an obvious example. She served as deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee at a young age. Once she had the opportunity, she was immediately placed in a peach-picking position that others could see at a glance. This is absolutely Only people with a strong backing background can do it. The difference between Du Yan and Chu Yijun is that although due to various opportunities, he has a number of resources that can be borrowed, but since he started from the grassroots from the beginning, he has some kind of relationship with those at the top no matter what. Indescribable separation. Because of this, for Du Yan, he did not have the time or the conditions to wait for opportunities like the Chu family brothers and sisters. If he wanted to get ahead, the only thing he could do was to rely on his own ability and forward thinking to rush forward. Break through, and even touch some taboos that others would never dare to touch! He has no way out! "Xiao Du, the restructuring you are undertaking now is a very dangerous thing. If you are not careful, you will not only be shattered to pieces, but you will even be infamy for a thousand years. Do you know this?" Liang Benchu ??looked calm, but what he said was shocking. Shocked, "Just remember what I said today. There are some things that others can do that you may not be able to do. To others, it is your fault that it is your fault. Okay, go ahead." Du Yan bowed slightly, opened the car door and got out. At the same time, Chu Yijun also got out of the car. "Brother Chu, I won't bother you to give it away," Du Yan shook hands with Chu Yijun gently, then lowered his voice and said, "Listen to Minister Liang, I congratulate you in advance, Brother Chu." Chu Yijun patted Du Yan's arm, Then he also lowered his voice slightly and said: "I'm sorry, Director Du, Yilan is with you, please take care of me." Du Yan also smiled. He knew that Chu Yijun was expressing his feelings to him in disguise, but at this time, for Chu Yilan openly picked peaches, but he no longer cared that much. Watching the Nissan drive away slowly, Du Yan turned around and walked into the hotel. In the Nissan, looking at Du Yan standing at the door of the hotel in the rearview mirror, Chu Yijun hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and said to Liang Benchu: "Minister, is it really okay for Du Yan to continue doing this?" "Shi It's your destiny, just follow him." Liang Benchu ??said softly. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 87 Minister Liang's Instructions Liang Benchu's car slowly drove around the outer courtyard toward the parking lot behind the Production and Industry Hall. Because the location of the Provincial Department of Industry used to be a silk and satin factory, there was naturally no large yard for parking. It was no big deal at first. But as more and more vehicles came and went for business, this difficulty became apparent. So a few years ago, we took advantage of the opportunity. With the renovation and expansion, the Provincial Department of Industry converted a piece of land behind it into its own parking lot. However, the responsibilities of the doorman became heavier. After all, if foreign vehicles are allowed to penetrate into the backyard of the Provincial Department, they must be guarded at the door. close. Before the car stopped, several officials from the Department of Production and Industry who had heard the news had already hurried over. What's a little funny is that although it was already mid-May, the weather was not very hot after all, but running in A cadre in front raised his hand to wipe his forehead while running, as if it was a scorching dog day. Chu Yijun had already gotten out of the car early. He opened the door on Liang Benchu's side before the cadres rushed over to grab him. However, just when Du Yan was about to turn around and open his door on his side to get out of the car, he was already leaning out. Liang Benchu ??turned around and waved to stop. "Just wait for me in the car. I won't be able to stay here for long." After speaking, Liang Benchu ??walked out of the car, leaving Du Yan alone in the car and closing the door. Liang Benchu's actions made several leaders of the Provincial Department of Industry secretly pay attention. Liang Benchu ??only gave instructions to the people in the car but did not address them. This shows that either this person is not important, or the relationship between this person and Liang Benchu ??is different and not related to him. These details require too much attention. Of course, this person was not an unimportant person, otherwise he would not be sitting with Liang Benzhu, so several provincial and department leaders could not help but greet Liang Benzhu with smiles on their faces, while stealing glances at the car where the door had not been closed. One glance. Naturally, the purpose of doing this was to see who was in the car. After all, in a place like Tongyang, the water is deep and shallow. Whether you can climb a high branch is another matter. Don't know what the person's origin has offended and what should not be offended. Talent is the key. Of course, if there was a young and beautiful woman sitting in the car, these people would immediately pretend to turn a blind eye, but when they saw that it was a young man standing at the front, the provincial department leaders secretly took notice. At this moment, several cadres who followed from inside gave a few hurried reports in the ears of the deputy director in charge of the provincial office behind him, which made the deputy director's face change instantly. He looked forward uneasily, and then after seeing that the greetings between the director and Liang Benchu ??had come to an end, he squeezed forward and whispered a few words in the director's ear. The director¡¯s expression moved slightly, he glanced at Nissan who had closed the car door next to him, and then took a few steps forward to reach Liang Benchu, who was shaking hands with a deputy inspector of the provincial department. "Minister Liang, I want to review this with you," said Director Li of the Department of Industry, which shocked everyone around him. "Our Department of Industry has not educated its employees well, and has encouraged bureaucracy and bureaucracy in the work." Consciousness, I want to make a profound review to you, and also to some comrades who have been treated unfairly." Director Li glanced at the Nissan car naturally as he spoke, then turned back and looked at it sincerely. Liang Benchu, that look seemed to indicate that if Liang Benchu ??didn't criticize him severely, he wouldn't be able to eat lunch. Liang Benchu ??looked at Director Li, and he naturally knew that Director Li's pretentiousness was just to please him: "Old Li, this time I came here just for a temporary purpose, mainly because I heard that you have a rotation training for middle-aged and young cadres here. The class has done well. Let¡¯s come here to listen to your experience and see if it can be promoted in the province. After all, the echelon role of young and middle-aged cadres cannot be ignored.¡± Director Li immediately ignored Liang Benchu¡¯s words. I realized that Minister Liang didn't want to mention this matter. In this case, my move might not only not be favored by Minister Liang, but it might have some impact. Director Li had a thought in his mind, but his face immediately changed to a look of enlightenment. While remaining humble, he immediately asked the deputy director in charge of organizational work next to him to follow him so that he could report to Director Liang at any time. With just such a delay, the people next to him almost knew what had just happened at the gate. For a while, people couldn't help but be secretly curious about the vague figure sitting in the Nissan car. At the same time, they were also curious about Liang Benchu ??and Liang Benchu. I wonder what the relationship between this mysterious figure is. Although Du Yan couldn't hear the conversation outside while sitting in the car, he could roughly guess from the scene that the leaders of the Provincial Department of Industry probably knew about the scene he made at the door, which is why Liang Benchu ??didn't let him get out of the car. The reason is that if he got off the car with him, it would probably be embarrassing for everyone now. The driver sitting in front looked ahead silently, while Du Yan sat in the back and gently touched his knees with his fingers, although heIt turns out that the car is not Liang Benchu's own, and the license plate is just an ordinary car number from the provincial party committee, but after all, the leader is riding in the car, so he can't look around and move around while sitting in it. The Audi that Xiao Wang drove did not follow him in. He thought that if he openly pulled out a gun at the gate of a provincial government agency in broad daylight, things always had to be explained, but he was not worried that Xiao Wang would be in trouble. After all, those people had many solutions and he didn't need to worry about them. I don't know how long it took, but a man appeared and stood not far from Liang Benchu's car. This caught the driver's attention. He looked out through the window. Du Yan couldn't help but look back, and saw Han Qiushi. Standing there with a puzzled expression on his face. "He's looking for me, a friend." Du Yan explained to the driver with a polite smile. Those who can drive for the leader are often the leader's confidants. Although such people may not be able to help, if a manager cannot It might do you bad things. "Should I ask him to come up?" the driver asked. "No, I'll just say a few words to him." Du Yan opened the car door and walked out. Although Liang Benchu ??told him not to get out of the car, he couldn't let Han Qiushi get in too. People must be self-aware. If they don't know how to advance or retreat, then It will give people the impression of frivolity. Seeing Du Yan get out of the car, Han Qiushi's initially doubtful face showed a hint of surprise. He had heard someone say that a young man came to see him. Although he had already thought that it might be Du Yan, he rushed to the gate. What he heard were rumors that even Han Qiushi, who was as calm as he was, couldn't help but be shocked. He only saw the Audi that was said to have caused trouble parked in the front yard, and several security department cadres were negotiating with a young man who looked very strange, but he did not see anyone he knew. After hearing that the gun pulling incident actually occurred, although he didn't know if the person looking for him was Du Yan, Han Qiushi was already prepared to accept the notification from the security department. After all, this matter was related to him, so he might as well just I didn't even go, so I went into the reception room and waited. However, what surprised Han Qiushi was that although the cadres of the security department came to call him quickly, their attitude was indescribably polite. When he walked to the Audi car, the security cadre in charge was even more When asked politely about his department and work, he seemed not to be as domineering as usual in the security department. Han Qiushi soon knew that the reason for all this came from the strange young man who stood silently next to the Audi car. At the same time, he also quickly discovered that there was something unusual in the young man's movements that only an expert could sense. of stability. To Han Qiushi¡¯s surprise, the young man told him with certainty that not only did the ¡°chief¡± come to see him, but he should have already entered the parking lot of the Provincial Department of Industry with a leader by this time. As for the news he just heard, Han Qiushi knew that the leader should be Liang Benchu, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee. Han Qiushi felt even more curious. He didn't know who could have such a driver. It was said that he could even carry a weapon with him. Judging from the attitude of the department's security cadres, this person should have a good background. As for there being another person who could match Liang Benchu's When people he knew called him by name, it made Han Qiushi even more strange. He thought that neither his father nor he had ever known such an obviously unusual person. So when he saw Du Yan getting out of the car, Han Qiushi was surprised at first, but then felt that all this seemed to be natural. Thinking about the scene Du Yan had seen when he was in Shanghai, Han Qiushi had already secretly He recognized Du Yan as a red descendant with a profound background. "Director Du, I didn't expect it to be you." Han Qiushi smiled and stretched out his hand. His face was calm, and he did not show any nervousness or clinging expression because of Du Yan's series of unexpected actions. It seemed that in his eyes, this young man was still The new district director of Taihua whom he met before. Du Yan and Han Qiushi's hands were slightly clasped together. He heard about Han Qiushi's indifferent character from Han Bing. Speaking of which, he always thought that Han Bing had a deep Electra complex. Maybe it was because of this that she She will be so obsessed with herself who will be much older than her. Du Yan had to admit that Han Qiushi was indeed a handsome man with a charming appearance and mature charm. The older he got, the more he looked like a killer of girls who longed for sweet dreams. He remembered that Han Bing told him that in her father's workplace Some young girls in the family once secretly wrote love letters to Han Qiushi. It is said that every time he talked about this, Qian Su would laugh endlessly and make fun of her husband. "Qiushi, we met in a hurry two days ago and broke up. Originally, I wanted to wait for your call before talking to you, but I happened to be delayed for some time in the provincial capital, so I just came to you directly." Du Yan As for Han Qiushi, in fact, although he didn't know what Han Qiushi's situation was in the work unit, he thought it wouldn't be too good, soThis time he planned to have a good talk with Han Qiushi to see if Han Qiushi was willing to go to Pingling. , More importantly, Du Yan could never forget Han Bing's subsequent consequences. Han Bing's miserable figure always lingered in his mind. It even became Du Yan's terrible nightmare sometimes late at night, so he It is even more difficult to give up paying attention to Han Qiushi's family. Han Qiushi looked at Du Yan in surprise. He didn't expect that Du Yan would go to the Provincial Department of Industry to find him for him, and even cause such a big fight. In his memory, there was nothing else between him and Du Yan. There was a brief period of contact and contact in Shanghai, and I once saw this young man outside my home. But it can be said that Du Yan planned to become a disciple purely because he admired his father's reputation. The cost of this Zhouzhang was too high. After all, although his father easily refused to accept apprentices, it was mainly because most young people nowadays are only three minutes hot, or are learning. When he has some skills, he likes to be brave and aggressive, so he is more strict, but after all, he is not the kind of stubborn person who cherishes his own things. With Du Yan's conditions, if he really wants to learn, it will not be difficult. In this case, why bother with so much effort? Han Qiushi didn't hide his confusion, so when Du Yan saw his expression, he understood what he was thinking. However, Du Yan really couldn't think of a specific reason to explain it. He couldn't tell people that he had been Missing his precious daughter, I guess if he said that, before Xiao Wang could come to his rescue, Han Qiushi would have beaten him to the point where he could no longer take care of himself. Since there was no reasonable explanation, Du Yan simply stopped being distracted by this. He looked at the cadres of the provincial industry departments who were looking at him in the distance, and then said to Han Qiushi: "Qiushi, I I sincerely want to invite you to our Pingling. I think you have also heard some rumors about Pingling during this period. Now the province is very concerned about Taihua and even Pingling, and I can reveal it to you. "Soon, with the direct attention of the relevant leaders, Pingling will make a series of big moves. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for everyone. I hope you can seriously consider it." Han Qiushi pondered Du Yan's words with his eyes. But he inadvertently looked at the Nissan car behind Du Yan. Being able to sit in the same car with the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Organization Director of the Provincial Party Committee already explains too many things, not to mention that Han Qiushi has seen what happened to Du Yan several times before, and everything explained that Du Yan Not only does he have a profound background, he also seems to have a wide range of interpersonal relationships, which is definitely beneficial to Han Qiushi. As for some of the recent rumors about Pingling mentioned by Du Yan, Han Qiushi is of course very clear. In fact, the entire Hexi Province is now discussing the signals sent by Governor Gao Ke during his inspection. Some people have even asserted that Gao Ke is likely to be It¡¯s time to show off your talents and work hard. All this made Han Qiushi feel that Du Yan's suggestion to him was completely feasible. More importantly, Han Qiushi himself knew his own affairs. His current situation in the Provincial Department of Industry was not only bad but even a bit frustrating, even if it really came to normal. If the tomb is not good, it won't be any worse than here. What's more, just as Han Qiushi thought, apart from his father and son's excellent martial arts, he really couldn't think of anything worth using in his family that Du Yan could use. Should he still be his bodyguard? Thinking that there was even a guard with a gun beside him, Han Qiushi thought this might be a bit funny. In this case, the only explanation is fate. Han Qiushi thought this helplessly, but he really couldn't think of any other reasons that would make Du Yan pay so much attention to him. "Okay Qiushi, this is not the place to talk in detail. Let's find a place to have a good chat tonight." Seeing a group of people approaching Liang Benchu ??from a distance, Du Yan whispered to Han Qiushi, "You can do it tonight." Come to Huayang Hotel to find me." Han Qiushi also saw a large number of leaders coming. He nodded immediately. When Du Yan got into the car, he immediately walked along and prepared to leave. However, before taking a few steps, he was suddenly called. He paused and said, "Old Han, come here." Han Qiushi turned around with some surprise and looked at Director Niu of the Logistics Department, who had always been unfaithful to him: "Director Niu, did you call me?" "That's right, Old Han. Come here." Director Niu took a few steps forward with a smile on his face. He looked at Liang Benchu ??who had already walked to the car and turned around to say goodbye to several leaders. "Old Han, don't leave yet. The leader in the hall will want to talk to you later. " Seeing the inquiring smile on Director Niu's face, Han Qiushi sighed slightly. He felt that he might be in a lot of trouble in the future, after all what he had experienced. After that, others will naturally look at him differently, and many troubles may soon follow. The root of all this comes from that young man. It seems that he really needs to make some preparations.   When Liang Benchu's car drove out of the gate, it stopped for a moment. Du Yan got out of the car and took a look, but he saw Xiao Wang standing casually in the Audi, and the security cadres from the Provincial Department of Industry had disappeared. Du Yan knew that nothing would happen. After telling Xiao Wang to go back and recover, Du Yan got into Liang Benchu's car again. Under the gaze of countless people, the black Nissan slowly slid out of the gate of the Provincial Department of Industry. Liang Benchu ??remained silent while sitting in the car. He leaned his head back on the backrest and closed his eyes to rest. The car seemed unusually quiet except for the sound of the vehicle moving. "Your behavior today is a bit out of line," Liang Benchu ??suddenly spoke. He opened his eyes slightly and saw Du Yan sitting upright and looking at him sideways. He raised his hand and pointed slightly at Chu Yijun in the front seat, "That's Yijun, before. Known as the No. 1 government office in Hexi, you are not as majestic as you are today. " "Pfft," Chu Yijun, who was sitting in the front seat, couldn't help but sneered. Then he turned around and said with a smile, "Minister, please don't touch me. "Bi, if I had done this, my legs would have been broken long ago." "Brother Chu, please don't hurt me" Du Yan had an embarrassed look on his face and was about to say something else, but then he noticed Liang Benchu. He seemed to be deep in thought and immediately fell silent. There was another brief silence in the car, but then Liang Benchu ??continued: "You have been in the limelight recently, and I know there is nothing you can do about it. After all, if you are not strong in the limelight, you may look nondescript, but you should understand that too much is not enough. " "Yes, Minister, I will do a deep review after I go back and pay attention to my words and deeds," Du Yan replied in a low voice. "That's not necessary." Liang Benchu ??shook his head slightly. "Since you have taken the lead, you have to do the work that needs to be done, and do the things that need to be done.

Shocked, "Just remember what I said today. There are some things that others can do that you may not be able to do. To others, it is your fault that it is your fault. Okay, go ahead." Du Yan bowed slightly, opened the car door and got out. At the same time, Chu Yijun also got out of the car.

Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 88 The Curtain Opens That night, Han Qiushi came to Huayang Hotel to meet Du Yan as scheduled. Looking at Han Qiushi, who still looked energetic but could not hide a trace of fatigue on his face, Du Yan couldn't help but smile. "Director Du, you have hurt me this time." Han Qiushi is also the kind of person who can afford to take things in hand. Now that he has decided to take this step, he must say some things in advance, because he knows that once he really After becoming Du Yan's subordinate, the relationship between the two people will not be as casual as it is now. It is true that Han Qiu is free and uninhibited, but this does not mean that he is unsophisticated, it is just that he takes those things very lightly. "Qiushi, how does it feel to be noticed and respected by leaders?" Du Yan asked with a smile. He had already guessed what Han Qiushi would encounter after he left. In fact, he had also encountered this kind of situation. But precisely because of this, he also intended to let Han Qiushi feel that feeling for himself. Han Qiushi looked at Du Yan with a wry smile. At this time, he had roughly guessed what Du Yan had in mind. Thinking of his experiences throughout the afternoon, Han Qiushi was filled with emotion and a bit like he was dreaming. During the day, Liang Benchu¡¯s car had just left the Provincial Department of Industry. Leaders who had previously ignored Han Qiushi, and even some leaders who didn¡¯t want to see him at all, began to appear one by one. As Han Qiushi's direct superior, the head of the Logistics Department, Lao Niu, took advantage of the situation. Although he was said to be running errands for the leaders of the department, he never left Han Qiushi's side after taking the message. First, he frankly affirmed Han Qiushi's previous work, and then he cared about Han Qiushi's family situation as if he were a leader and more like a close relative. When he heard that Han Qiushi and his wife were living in separate places, Lao Niu first expressed surprise. , and then he made a pointless self-criticism, first saying that he was really negligent and neglecting Han Qiushi's family situation, and then making a pointless promise that he would help Han Qiushi's family find a way to solve this problem before Han Qiushi could take over. The issue of separation between the two places was so sincere that it didn't even matter whether Han Qiushi himself agreed to do it. Then after all the opening remarks were over, Lao Niu began to inquire about which leader Han Qiushi had a relationship with. When Han Qiushi reluctantly denied that he had nothing to do with any leader, Lao Niu first showed his displeasure, and then He simply made a heart-to-heart self-examination to Han Qiushi in private, and then he told Han Qiushi in a very vague way who really wanted to deal with him. That kind of look immediately made Han Qiushi his best friend. the meaning of. If Lao Niu¡¯s behavior is a little too contrived and makes people look down upon, then the leaders of the Department of Industry are still somewhat reserved, but they are not reserved for a long time. When meeting with Han Qiushi, Director Li put on all his airs. After a symbolic inquiry about Han Qiushi's daily work and some encouragement, he, like Director Niu, began to inquire about Han Qiushi's background. ¡°And when he heard Han Qiushi¡¯s equally helpless and unconvincing explanation, Director Li didn¡¯t dig too deep into the matter. However, when Han Qiushi was about to say goodbye and leave, Director Li said casually, "Old Han, you are the backbone of the department. You should be well aware of the current difficulties of our Industrial Department. If you have the opportunity to meet the leader in the future, you will have to wait a long time." Say something for our Department of Industry. "Let Han Qiushi show no other expression except a wry smile. Then for a whole afternoon, Han Qiushi found that he seemed to have suddenly become the most popular person in the Hexi Provincial Department of Industry. Whether they were cadres from the logistics department or other departments, they all came over to say a few words to him intentionally or unintentionally, and let him Han Qiushi was incredibly moved. Not long after he went to work in the afternoon, Lao Niu announced the appointment of Han Qiushi as the chief staff member of the Materials Management Section of the Logistics Department. At that time, Han Qiushi still remembered the envious, but more jealous looks from dozens of people around him. Among them were some of his colleagues who usually had a good relationship with him. But at this time, people looked at him with looks that made him uncomfortable. Even Han Qiushi, who has always been indifferent and inactive, can't help but sigh. "Qiushi, have you been filled with emotions in one afternoon?" Du Yan asked with a smile. He slowly poured a glass of water for Han Qiushi and placed it in front of him. "Qiushi, let me tell you the truth, your current situation is actually very difficult." It's subtle. If you continue to stay in the Provincial Department of Industry, it's not an option. Instead of doing that, it's better to go out and have a try. Of course, I won't force you. It's all up to you." Han Qiushi slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then put the cup down. He slowly put it on the table, raised his head and looked at Du Yan seriously: "Director Du, I don't have any special skills, but I am fairly self-aware. Because of this, I know my abilities very well. Now I just want to know why you value me so much. ," Speaking of this, Han Qiushi briefly said:Smiling apologetically, "Please forgive me for saying this, but I think you already know the situation in my family. I have a very good family. Although my work is not very satisfactory, it is okay. The most important thing is that I am lazy. , To put it nicely, it is called taking fame and fortune lightly, to put it worse, it means not seeking advancement. If a person like me works next to you, I will probably not be of much use. " Listening to Han Qiushi's words, Du Yan couldn't help but shake his head secretly. . In the eyes of others, Han Qiushi is indeed who he said he is. At least in the early years, when qigong and martial arts were all the rage, some people invited the Han family and his son to come out many times. What they wanted was to borrow the ice. The father and son of Han Guanzhong and Han Qiushi are famous in the Hexi martial arts community. However, the Han family and his son stubbornly refused. In order to get rid of people's entanglement, Han Bing's grandfather Han Guanzhong even went back to his hometown in the countryside to hide away, while Han Qiushi followed the rules and worked in the agency every day. In the eyes of many people, there is no doubt that they just don¡¯t want to make progress. But Du Yan knew deeply that the Han family and his son were so proud and upright that in their eyes, they could not tolerate selling things passed down by their ancestors as goods, let alone those who played tricks to make money. "If you are poor, you can be alone, but if you are rich, you can help the world. The Han family and his son have this kind of character passed down from their ancestors, but as their granddaughter, Han Bing has a stronger character!" That kind of fierceness even made Du Yan feel the pain of tearing his heart and lungs every time he thought about it! "Qiushi, I can only say now that I do this out of admiration for Mr. Han and you. As far as I know, Mr. Han disdains to associate with some scoundrels in the martial arts world who make money by cheating, and you would rather You are not willing to go against your father's wishes even though you are living a hard life in a government agency. This is what I admire most about you." Du Yan said to Han Qiushi in a deep voice. He knew that if he didn't make it clear today, Han Qiushi would be cautious and unwilling to suffer. He has a kind-hearted character, and although the prospect he provided seems quite attractive, he will not easily accept such unearned giving. "As for your ability, I told you when I was in Shencheng last time that because I admire Mr. Han, I also learned about you by the way. As far as I know, you once worked in the industry in Hexi Province. I have published papers on industrial prospects in magazines, and I have also read your paper carefully. It can be said that it is very insightful, so I decided to choose you, not only because of my personal reasons, but more importantly, you really have Expertise in this area. " Du Yan said to Han Qiushi with a serious expression. He didn't know whether Han Qiushi would eventually agree to his suggestion, but when he thought of Han Bing, Du Yan felt that he had to make some efforts. Seeing Han Qiushi bowing his head in thought, Du Yan even secretly decided that if Han Qiushi refused to agree to his suggestion, then he would use some means to transfer Han Qiushi directly to Pingling, even if doing so might cause Han Qiushi's anger. We are dissatisfied, but we must not just let it go and let the tragedy happen again in the future! Han Qiushi pondered for a while, then finally raised his head and nodded slightly to Du Yan: "Director Du, I can't say anything now. Since you think I can do the job you arranged, then I will accept this arrangement, but please promise me , If my ability is not as good as you expect in my future work, then it's time for you to accept my request for transfer. I don't want to receive special treatment for some special reasons. " Looking at Han Qiushi. With a sincere expression, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a little excited. This is Han Bing's father, the Han Qiushi who will always be optimistic and indifferent even in the face of many difficulties in the future, the one who cultivated Han Bing's passionate personality and dared to love. A man who dares to hate a fairy-like girl. "Qiushi, since this is what I'm talking about, let me just say it right. Pingling is different from the provincial government. You've also heard that the water there is very deep. It can be said that all kinds of gods gather there. However, for anyone who works under me, I can assure you that no matter what their background is, I only need those who are capable to get ahead, otherwise I will not give anyone special treatment. So, Qiushi. It will be the same after you get to my place. You have to use your own ability to prove to others that I am not wrong about you." Du Yan's words made Han Qiushi feel a little reassured. The reason why he was still hesitant was that he knew that following Du Yan would probably lead to danger. He has a bright future, but he is worried that Du Yan may have a different attitude towards him than others due to some reasons that he does not know. Han Qiushi, who has worked in government agencies for a long time, knows very well that people who are favored because of certain special relationships are actually not in a good situation among gays. People will always look at them with special eyes, and this kind of people can always Success depends only on the backers behind you. And??Qiushi knew that with the inexplicable relationship between herself and Du Yan that no one would believe, if she was taken care of by Du Yan in Pingling, but one day this relationship no longer existed, then she would The situation will become extremely difficult. By that time, I really had nowhere to go. Han Qiushi can not think about himself, but he has to think about his wife and daughter. Now, Du Yan's frank confession to him made Han Qiushi feel at ease. At the same time, following Du Yan's words, Han Qiushi had to start seriously considering the recent rumors about Pingling. With Gao Ke's inspection, there have been more and more rumors about Taihua and Pingling Tombs, especially after the rumor that Taihua will be the benchmark for Gao Ke's key support and training after he becomes the governor. It has become a popular choice among cadres in Hexi Province. "As for Pingling, as Du Yan said, the water in that place is too deep. So much so that there is a private saying among cadres in Hexi Province that if you work in Taihua, you can shorten your career by five years, but if you work in Pingling, you will either rise to the top or fall to the bottom! No matter how indifferent he was, Han Qiushi couldn't help but feel a little excited when he thought of this, because he knew that although Pingling's officialdom was a bit turbulent due to the depth of the water, the background he saw of Du Yan made Han Qiushi believe that following Although this young man may be quite worried about his future, he is destined to be anything but ordinary. "Director Du, since you don't mind it, I am willing to be your first soldier." Han Qiushi stood up and expressed his attitude to Du Yan solemnly. "Qiushi, on behalf of Pingling New District, I welcome you." Du Yan also stood up. He stretched out his hand and shook Han Qiu's hand firmly. "You should contact your family in the past few days to make arrangements. Fortunately, your home In Taihua, this is a lot more convenient. As for the transfer procedures, you don't have to worry about it. I believe it will be implemented soon." Du Yan's casual words made Han Qiushi have a strange look on his face. The thought of it. During the day, Du Yan actually sat in the same car with a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Organization Director of the Provincial Party Committee. Han Qiushi couldn't help but think that Du Yan's words were really true. After all, the Organization Department always used the maiden name of cadres, and the Provincial Party Committee Organization Aren¡¯t ministers the biggest family members of all cadres? Han Qiushi came with doubts, but left with excitement. When sending Han Qiushi away, Du Yan didn't say as many words to him as before, and he only stopped at the door of his room. If it was before, he would naturally not be like this, but when Han Qiushi agreed to his suggestion, the relationship between him and Han Qiushi had already changed. In the past, although the two people had different levels, they did not report to each other. Now that Han Qiushi is about to become a cadre of the new district, Du Yan has become his veritable superior. And a leader cannot be too polite to his subordinates, otherwise he will lose his leadership. Due authority will also have a negative impact on subordinates, which may even affect the relationship between the two parties at work. This is the rule of officialdom in the country, and no one can break it. Han Qiushi could adapt to this new relationship very well. In fact, from the moment he agreed to Du Yan's suggestion, he consciously began to talk to Du Yan as a subordinate. This behavior in Du Yan's eyes made him feel uncomfortable. For gratification. He was right about Han Qiushi. He knew how to advance and retreat and what was important. This made Du Yan feel that an arrangement he had been secretly brewing in his heart seemed to be slowly taking shape. Han Bing, your father is now my subordinate. What would you think if you found out about this many years later? After sending Han Qiushi away, Du Yan couldn't help but fell into deep thought. The experiences of the previous life seem to be undergoing greater and greater changes in this life, so that now, the trajectory of history has begun to develop in a new direction. As for whether one day in the future, due to such changes, there will be a historical trend that is completely beyond his previous memory, and will develop in another direction completely, Du Yan is no longer sure. But now he knows that a restructuring drama that he personally formulated and promoted will kick off in China a few years in advance! Du Yan is right, Han Qiushi's personnel transfer relationship was indeed implemented very quickly. If we are serious about it, it is completely beyond the scope of special affairs. If we must have a metaphor, it is definitely "Hong Kong time" that exceeds the "SAR time" that has always been used to describe efficiency! Before Han Qiushi even had time to formally propose his transfer idea to the leader, a transfer order was suddenly issued to the Provincial Department of Industry.When Dao Han Qiushi was transferred to Pingling, known as the "Tigan Incubator", everyone in the Provincial Department of Industry had the same thought: "There is really someone in the court who is good at becoming an official." According to Du Yan¡¯s arrangement, Han Qiushi was assigned to the new district as a provincial cadre, and his position was the assistant director of the new district. Many people are secretly speculating about such a position that sounds somewhat new. The level of the new district is the county deputy department level. Han Qiushi is a provincial department-level cadre, and it is said that before he came down, he was also the chief clerk of the Provincial Department of Industry. After he came down, although he did not mention one and a half degrees in rank, his position was more or less. There must be enough. This makes sense, but this new district is not a member of the New District Standing Committee. This makes people feel that the position of the Assistant Director is somewhat strange. More importantly, when people heard that Han Qiushi's position was assistant to the director, many people couldn't help but secretly wonder, could it be that Director Xiao Du had an opinion about Hu Weiping and wanted to sway him? ¡°After all, as the director of the district committee office, Hu Weiping overlaps with the newly established assistant district director in many places and scope of responsibilities, so it is not surprising that people would have such thoughts. Once such thoughts appeared, they could no longer be suppressed. People's eyes began to change when they looked at Hu Weiping. Even some old people in the new district who had followed Du Yan in the past gradually distanced themselves from Hu Weiping. For a time, rumors such as "Director Du has an opinion about Hu Weiping", "Hu Weiping is about to collapse" and "Assistant Han came here because he is in short supply" were spread everywhere in the new district, with all kinds of discussions. Such rumors even reached Hu Xuecong. After enduring it for a long time, although he knew that speaking out such things might worry his father, Hu Xuecong still revealed to Hu Weiping the increasingly outrageous rumors outside during a meal. rumor. After hearing what his son said, Hu Weiping just calmly told Hu Xuecong: "Don't worry about the things outside and do your job well." Although Hu Xuecong was worried, he knew his father's temper and could only He endured it silently, but every time he saw Du Yan, he had the urge to ask Director Du what was going on. Amidst all these speculations and rumors, time quickly entered June. With the speeches of Governor Gao Ke at several major provincial industrial development conferences, people found that the words "market demand", "state-owned enterprises" and "system reform" appeared more and more frequently in Gao Ke's various speeches. among. This made many people keenly aware of the various signals and intentions contained in Gao Ke's speeches. Entering July, a document titled ¡°Interim Measures for the Restructuring of Large Chinese State-owned Enterprises in Our Province¡± issued by the Hexi Provincial Planning Commission attracted great attention from all parts of the province. When Hu Weiping put the document on Du Yan's desk, Du Yan asked Hu Weiping to sit down and wait. He first looked at the document from beginning to end, and then said to Hu Weiping, who was sitting opposite and always looked calm, "Wei Ping, you have worked hard these days. I am aware of the rumors outside. I didn¡¯t talk to you before because I didn¡¯t have the opportunity. Now let¡¯s talk about your future work.¡± Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 89 Pingling Enterprise Reform The introduction of the "Interim Measures" sparked a heated discussion in Hexi Province, but many people later felt a little confused. Since it is called the "Interim Measures", it is natural that there must be specific clauses and relevant regulations. However, people soon discovered that although this document listed many implementation guidelines, the key specific details were rather vague. It would be more appropriate to say that this is an implementation document rather than a purely programmatic document. This makes people who originally started to think about Gao Ke¡¯s intention after seeing this document puzzled. For Gao Ke, cadres in Hexi Province are generally hopeful. After all, since Chu Ping, who was the flagship figure of local cadres, left the National People's Congress, life has become somewhat sad for local cadres. Perhaps it is because they see that the central government has important plans. In order to suppress local cadres and foster balanced forces, many foreign cadres began to become active. Under such circumstances, the lives of the cadres in Hexi are naturally not as easy as before. This makes many people have great hopes for Gao Ke. As long as Gao Ke is willing to take the lead, after all, with his background as a local cadre and his many years of experience with Chu Ping, The foundation laid for business operations, even if Feng Zhenhuai, as secretary of the provincial party committee, had the idea of ????suppressing the local area, it would not be so smooth after all. However, Gao Ke's actions after taking office have been quiet. It was not until his recent inspection of Taihua that he began to gradually show his political ambitions and ambitions. Then Gao Ke's performance for more than a month has also made many people who originally had different views on him Local cadres with such concerns were impressed, especially his speeches on the industrial and economic development of Hexi Province, which were regarded by many as a precursor to upcoming big measures. It is under such a promising prospect that many people are optimistic about that the introduction of the "Interim Measures" has naturally attracted the attention of countless people. "What puzzles people is why the content of this "Interim Measures" is so vague. Is it because this document is just a formality, or is there another reason? Many people were confused for a while. At this time, a department called the "Enterprise Restructuring Office" was established in Pingling, Taihua. According to relevant regulations, the Restructuring Office was established in the name of Taihua City. Since it is only a temporary organization in name, and there are no arrangements for increasing the number of staff, there is no need to apply for approval from superiors. However, in terms of the level regulations of the Restructuring Office, , but simply kept it vague, which made people unsure for a while what kind of department this office was. Some people even regard this seemingly unreliable temporary organization as a new round of tricks created to eliminate dissidents. Because of this, when I heard that personnel would be transferred from various party and government agencies in Pingling to supplement the restructuring office, I felt a sense of uneasiness. But no matter what others think, on the day the restructuring office was established, Hu Weiping, director of the new district's district committee office, left the new district on secondment and entered the newly established restructuring office according to Du Yan's arrangement. When news came out that Du Yan was actually in charge of the work of the Enterprise Restructuring Office, people finally realized that Hu Weiping's sudden transfer was Du Yan's move before his troops were deployed. Before he, the director in charge of daily work, was in place, Hu Weiping, the office director of the office director, had already gone to the front station for him in advance. After knowing this, people¡¯s views on the Restructuring Office immediately changed. Especially those who were familiar with the early situation of the new district could not help but think of the economic guidance group established by Du Yan. Those cadres who worked in the economic steering group have now become the backbone of various departments in the new district. Especially those such as Chen Siyou who were the most active among them and were the first to join the steering group. Some of them have become independent figures in the new district. figure. So since Hu Weiping was not driven away because he was no longer popular in front of Director Du, but went to serve as a frontline for Director Xiao Du, then this corporate restructuring office is somewhat worthy of people's attention. ¡°After all, Director Xiao Du is famous for being good at drilling. More importantly, Director Xiao Du is very loyal to the people under his command, and he is absolutely unambiguous about who can be promoted. This can be seen both in the new district and in Pingling. As early as mid-July, when many people were still pondering over the various speeches that Gao Ke had made frequently in recent times, a very surprising thing happened in Pingling. Following a transfer order, Liu Laofei, the county bureau director who was originally a popular candidate for secretary of the Pingling Political and Legal Committee, was transferred to the Taihua City Public Security Bureau as the deputy director responsible for cultural supervision and fire safety. The director's position was filled by Lao Hu, the former deputy director who had outstanding performance in the arrest of Zhao Aiguo, took over. This result surprised many people at first, and then news came out that Liu Laofei was responsible for his relationship with the person who was previously investigated and punished.The relationship between Lao Guo and Liu Laofei was not only close but also a major participant in the Zhao Aiguo drug trafficking group. They also seemed to have some unexplained economic transactions. This is a fatal blow to Liu Laofei. Although gray income has not developed to the point of flooding at this time, as a county bureau chief, even if there are some unclear sources of income, As long as he didn't commit any crime, it wouldn't be a big deal at first, but because it involves drug trafficking, this becomes a bit more serious. What's more, the impact of the Zhao Aiguo incident was so bad that even the Ministry of Public Security was said to be shocked. In this way, Liu Laofei That's the end of the county bureau chief's job. Just because there was no other evidence to prove that Liu Laofei had a big problem, and Liu Laofei himself ran up and down after hearing the news, and more importantly, in order to eliminate the outside world's negative views on the public security system, Liu Laofei finally hid. After passing this level, he was transferred to the Municipal Public Security Bureau and hung up. Now it seems that he will have to sit on the bench for the rest of his life, waiting to retire. With the elimination of Liu Laofei, the happiest person besides Lao Hu, who suddenly took the position of director, is Wang Lianyi, the director of the West Market Police Station. From the moment he heard that Liu Laofei might be promoted to Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Wang Lianyi's thoughts started to move. Although he knew that even if Liu Laofei became Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, he would probably continue to serve as the Director of Public Security, but that's how people are. , there is always a thought. Wang Lianyi knew that he was certainly not qualified to be the director, but when he thought about it, if Liu Laofei really had the vacancy of the director, then unless the municipal bureau sent a director, once a deputy director was promoted from the county bureau, That means there will be a large number of vacant seats. Wang Lianyi has been the police station chief for more than two years. If the previous time is included, it will be four years. Although almost everyone in Pingling knows that Director Wang of the West Market Police Station is Director Du¡¯s loyal friend, after all, the police station is a hard job. More importantly, the police station is obviously not as easy to be promoted as quickly as in the bureau, so when he heard After Lao Hu became the director of the county bureau, Wang Lianyi hesitated for a long time, but gritted his teeth and waited for Du Yan's house with two bottles of green fruit wine. Du Yan has not been in the new district much during this time. As the plan is slowly implemented, his attention has begun to shift to Pingling. When Gao Ke finally started to take action in July, he knew that leaving I don't have much time anymore. So while others were still speculating about Gao Ke's frequent speeches, Du Yan was speeding up the work assignments to his subordinates while making various preparations intensively. Regarding the establishment of an enterprise restructuring office, Du Yan already knew about it more than a month ago. He even gave the name of this department because Song Jiayi said before that it seemed that Yang Weiquan wanted to name this restructuring pilot department. The name "Economic Reform Office" made Du Yan directly deny it on the phone. In Du Yan¡¯s plan, because the system was ultimately to be separated, he did not want this department to have too much connection with the government from the beginning, otherwise he would have come up with the idea of ??calling it the ¡°Development and Reform Commission¡±. Hanging the name "enterprise" is to successfully complete the separation of government and enterprises in the future until it finally becomes a pure economy. If this cannot be determined early, there will be a lot of trouble in the future. Because of this, Du Yan stayed in the county for longer and longer. In fact, when Han Qiushi came to Pingling to serve as the assistant director of the new district, some people had already noticed it. Looking at subsequent developments, people seemed to realize that Xiao Director Du seemed dissatisfied with just staying in his one-third of an acre of land in the new district, and he was ready to reach out to Pingling to get a piece of it. Regarding Du Yan's behavior, both Li Peizheng and Guo Songlin saw it, but the strange thing is that these two people actually ignored it in a tacit understanding, although a new district director is now in his county party committee office all day long It was indeed strange to stay there, but since even the first and second leaders in the county turned a blind eye, others would naturally not speak out even if they had something in mind. Finally, it was not until August, when the signboard of the Restructuring Office was put up, that people suddenly realized that Director Du had heard some rumors from above, so he took precautions and prepared in advance. ¡°Speaking of it, it¡¯s really cunning and cunning. Du Yan has a house in the County Party Committee Courtyard. Because he is either in the new district or living back home, the house there has been vacant most of the time. According to Du Zhenhai¡¯s opinion, the house should be returned to the county. After all, there are still so many people without a house to live in. For the first time, Du Yan did not listen to his father's suggestion. Having been in the officialdom for a long time, the officialdomThe truth is becoming clearer and clearer. The saying that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, of course it refers to the phenomenon in the officialdom, but more importantly, it means that it is impossible to survive in that environment. Even a cadre like Li Peizheng, who can be said to be upright, not only has to accept some things from his subordinates during the holidays, but also receives a lot of small gifts from some favors during normal times. As for if he takes the initiative to return the house assigned to him by the county committee, Du Yan will probably feel uneasy soon. At least as far as he knows, Tu Xiangdong, the owner of the county committee office, currently occupies a house in the county in the name of borrowing it. The dormitory building of the Finance Bureau. When Wang Lianyi arrived at Du Yan's house, he was about to go out. Although the audit team has been cancelled, due to Du Yan's deliberate arrangement, the workers' representative group of the heavy machinery factory did not announce its cancellation. On the contrary, in the name of helping the heavy machinery factory get out of trouble, the workers' representative group became the liaison between the heavy machinery factory workers and the factory. Although some people have some opinions on this, according to Du Zhenhai, "Of course we have representatives of the working class ourselves. The obligation to come up with ideas and solutions for the factory." Because of this, Du Zhenhai is still very busy and always rushes out after eating. No wonder Sang Shulan laughed at him and said that he was busier than the son of a county party leader. " Du Zhenhai was very happy to see Wang Lianyi. Thinking about how Wang Lianyi took care of his family when his son was unlucky, Du Zhenhai felt that this young man was a kind person. If his daughter hadn't been so young, Du Zhenhai would have really thought about recruiting Wang Lianyi as his son-in-law. But now looking at the green fruit wine in Wang Lianyi's hand, Du Zhenhai frowned. "I said, Director Wang, why are you bringing something up when you're here? It's green fruit wine. Is your monthly salary enough?" Du Zhenhai asked half-jokingly and half-seriously. Speaking of which, Qingguo wine has gradually begun to make its way to other cities in Hexi, especially after the rumor came out from nowhere that Governor Gao Ke asked to drink local Qingguo wine when he inspected Pingling. His reputation spread all of a sudden. To the surprise of many people who were just attracted by the name at first, they thought it was some kind of green fruit wine with some local characteristics. The wine is of course mellow, delicious and memorable, and the packaging quality is unexpectedly grand, especially since it is said that even The first-grade noble wine worth 888 yuan, which even the governor did not have the chance to drink, was designed to look extremely luxurious. If you only look at the packaging and do not pay attention to the reasons behind each wine, even Maotai, which is known as the national wine It is also inferior to the newly emerging Wuliangye. Because of this, when Du Zhenhai saw Wang Lianyi coming to the door carrying two bottles of green fruit wine packed in wooden boxes, Du Zhenhai couldn't help but talk about him. Looking at the frowning Du Zhenhai, Wang Lianyi had a headache. He had an unusual relationship with the Du family. After being in contact with him for a long time, he naturally knew that Director Du's father was very capable. Fortunately, Du Yan heard the sound and came out of his room. Seeing Wang Lianyi standing in the yard a little embarrassed, he frowned slightly, but still said hello, which was a relief for him. When he walked into the room and saw Du Yan looking at him without saying anything, Wang Lianyi put the green fruit wine in the corner with a slight embarrassment, and then hesitantly sat down on the sofa. "Director Du, I came here today" Wang Lianyi thought about his words. Although he had tentatively proposed it to Du Yan before taking advantage of the opportunity to eat, at this time Wang Lianyi felt that he could not find a reason to speak. More importantly, whether it is an illusion or something else, Wang Lianyi feels that the current Director Du is not only different from when he returned to Pingling as a member of the County Party Committee Standing Committee, but is even very different from when he returned from Shencheng. In him, it seems that There was a vaguely intimidating aura. Du Yan knew very well what Wang Lianyi was doing. From the time Chu Yilan came uninvited when he and Lao Hu were having dinner, Du Yan knew that Liu Laofa might be in trouble. But why did Chu Yilan tell him the news about Liu Laofei in advance? Du Yan had been secretly thinking about it until Liu Laofei was transferred to the municipal bureau, and Lao Hu got his wish and became the director of the county bureau. After that, Du Yan finally guessed Chu Yilan's true intention. Although Lao Hu became the director of the county bureau, he obviously cannot compare with Liu Laofei in terms of qualifications and rank. More importantly, Liu Laofei has been in business for a long time over the years. At least from this time, although he was because of Zhao I ate cheese for the reasons of Patriotism and Lao Guo, but in the end I just sat on the bench and waited for the rest of the year. Liu Laofei had some background and backing. It is precisely because of this that he had the opportunity to serve as secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. But Lao Hu is different. Being the director is already a big deal for him, and the position of secretary of the Political and Legal Committee is certainly not his turn. As a result, the position of Secretary of the County Political and Legal Committee is vacant, but no one thought of it beforeLiu Laofei would fall into the trap of Zhao Aiguo, and although there were some signs later, Liu Laofei was okay for the time being, so he was still calm. But now that Liu Laofei has stepped aside, the vacant position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee has naturally caught the attention of many people. It was from that time that a rumor spread from Taihua City to Pingling that a secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee might be sent directly from above. "You can't tell, Deputy County Magistrate Chu is really a heroine, unwilling to be ordinary." Du Yan once said this when he heard this rumor, but Ding Bingxian, who heard his words, just patted Du Yan. Looking over his shoulder, he smiled slightly and said, "Spring flowers and autumn moon all have their fates, why bother just caring about this little bit." By this time, Du Yan already knew that Chu Yilan obviously didn't want to just be a peach picker in Pingling. Rocket cadres, but wanted to make a big difference during Pingling. Because of this, she had actually made other preparations before coming to Pingling. It can be said that even if Liu Laofei had no problems, the throne of Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee would not fall into his hands in the end. This situation surprised Du Yan at first, but then he felt very annoyed, even angry! Regardless of whether the idea of ??taking down the secretary of the Pingling Political and Legal Committee came from Chu Yilan himself, or whether it was Chu Ping's plan, Du Yan actually didn't care. What he really cared about was the development of the new district and what he would gradually become with the new district. Enterprise restructuring is the main goal in the future. It can be said that Du Yan had this as his ultimate goal from the beginning. However, the contradictions at the heavy machinery factory had not yet been fully exposed. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the future restructuring trend, he must first have a solid foundation. , so we need to first explore the new area to rely on. Now that the new district has stepped up, and as the heavy machinery factory is no longer being sold at a low price along its original historical trajectory, an opportunity has finally come for him to display his ambitions. But because of this, no matter who it is or for what purpose, Du Yan cannot tolerate anyone destroying the plan he has worked so hard to start! Even if this person is the daughter of the former provincial party committee secretary. "Why, can't you bear it anymore?" Du Yan asked calmly. Seeing the embarrassed look on Wang Lianyi's face, he waved his hand, "Stop being so formal. It's not your first time here. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I will only give you the opportunity once, and you will not wait until it expires.¡± After hearing what Du Yan said, Wang Lianyi quickly said: ¡°Director Du, I just want to know that after Lao Hu became the director, there must be room in the county bureau now. Come out, can you talk to Lao Hu and let me go back to work in the bureau first? It's been too long in the office below. I want to move." Du Yan nodded, knowing that Wang Lianyi didn't mean what he said. What's wrong? After all, after working hard at the police station for several years, if you don't return to the bureau, your opportunities will become less and less as time goes by. Especially in the next few years, with the emphasis on the professional construction of the public security team, More and more police academy students who have received professional education will enter the public security department, so police officers like Wang Lianyi who originally relied on their academic background will not be so popular. What¡¯s more important is that with the needs of future social development, the power of powerful state organs will become greater and greater, and the leadership of political and legal organs, which are not highly valued today, will play a more important role in the future. "Lian Yi, if you leave the station, who do you think is reliable? I mean you are sure that the person can follow you." Du Yan did not directly answer Wang Lianyi's words, but asked this question. However, Wang Lianyi had vaguely heard something from Du Yan's words. He said with a little excitement: "The current deputy director of our institute, Xiang, has a very good relationship with me and supports me in my work. They have always cooperated with my work. " After listening to Wang Lianyi's words, Du Yan nodded slightly. The so-called support and cooperation are actually just the meaning of people in a circle. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that even if it is for the sake of smooth work, There are also a few people who are not nepotistic. "Also, it's Xiaopeng," Wang Lianyi said specifically after a pause. He naturally knew how much Du Yan valued Sun Xiaopeng. Although he still couldn't figure out the relationship between Sun Xiaopeng and Du Yan, from the moment Sun Xiaopeng entered the station After that, Wang Lianyi regarded him as a close confidant of Du Yan, "Xiaopeng's ability is quite strong, and now that the staffing problem has been solved, I think it won't be long before he can fully take charge of his own affairs." Listening to Wang Lianyi praising Sun Xiaopeng, Du Yan Just nodded. Sun Xiaopeng¡¯s relationship and organization have all been resolved at once. The reason why it was so smooth and quick was naturally because Zhao Youxun took care of his proud subordinates. As for Du Yan's expectations for Sun Xiaopeng, it is not something that Wang Lianyi can understand now.   "Lian Yi, if you were asked to be the deputy captain of the county criminal police team, would you be willing to do it?" Du Yan asked. Wang Lianyi was slightly startled. Because he was in a hurry to return to the county bureau, he had some thoughts in mind that it would be a good idea to just do a few errands first. But he didn¡¯t expect that Du Yan would ask him to join the county criminal police team as soon as he opened his mouth. This surprised Wang Lianyi. "Director, the Criminal Police Team is Lao Hu's territory." Wang Lianyi said tentatively. It can be said that Lao Hu's ability to climb up to the position of director of the county bureau is decisively related to his control of the county's criminal police team. If he had not controlled the criminal police team, Du Yan would not have chosen to reveal Zhao Aiguo's whereabouts to him. It is precisely because of this that Lao Hu, who became the director, clung to the criminal police team. If he wanted to rashly insert someone into it, even Du Yan, who had been of great help to him in the beginning, would not be able to let go. Not that easy. ????????????????????? And if something goes wrong in the slightest, it may arouse Lao Hu¡¯s suspicion. "I know," Du Yan nodded slightly. For people like Lao Hu, Du Yan actually knew very well. Seriously speaking, there is not much difference between Lao Hu and Liu Laofei. The only difference is who can do it between the two. Just for use. Thinking in his mind, Du Yan said to Wang Lianyi: "Lianyi, your main job now is to try your best to arrange all kinds of work related to the West Market Office. You must ensure that even if one day you are transferred to another place, the daily work of the West Market Office will go smoothly. Orderly, and even more firm and reliable at critical moments. After sending Wang Lianyi away, Du Yan secretly said to himself: "It looks like another deal is going to be made. ¡± In fact, many people are already familiar with the office location of the Enterprise Restructuring Office. The previous evaluation and review team of the heavy machinery factory worked here. However, the review team announced its dissolution shortly after Gao Ke¡¯s inspection, and the things in the yard have also been destroyed. It was moved away, so even though a brand new sign was put up, looking at the empty and messy yard, as the office director of the Enterprise Reform Office, Hu Weiping had a lot of work to do, first contacting water and electricity, and then finding an office. Desks and chairs, as for the purchase, registration, receipt, reimbursement and other chores of various office supplies, Hu Weiping was almost always running around alone. According to the previously planned scale, the enterprise reform office. Although the personnel are seconded and do not occupy the establishment, the staffing is not lacking. This is just because people really can't figure out how long this temporary department will be temporary, or they are afraid that once they are "temporarily" brought in, they will not be able to return to the original unit. Opportunities, so although secondment letters have been sent out to relevant departments across the county, there are very few applicants. Almost all those named are delayed and pushed away when they can, and those with a little connections are begging grandpa to sue grandma to find a way to get rid of them. This fire pit. So when Hu Weiping came to the courtyard of the Enterprise Reform Office alone, looking at the desolation, Hu Weiping shook his head at first, and then said self-deprecatingly, "The Enterprise Reform Office, I think it is more like a beggar's office." . ¡± It was amid Hu Weiping¡¯s self-deprecation that the Enterprise Restructuring Office of Pingling County, Taihua City, Hexi Province, was officially opened. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 90 Chu Yilan's Ambition Chu Yilan walked on the street with a brisk expression. Not only had she become very familiar with the situation in Pingling for more than two months, but in terms of mentality, she also considered herself to be half a Pingling person. Chu Yilan is the executive deputy county magistrate, so she needs to have a deeper understanding of Pingling as a whole for many tasks. Although she heard that she would work in Pingling a few months ago, she had already collected a lot of information. There is little relevant information about Pingling, but after all, it is all on paper, and many of them have obvious traces of fakeness. As a deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee who has dealt with words for a long time, Chu Yilan knows better. There is moisture in it. So after coming to Pingling, Chu Yilan followed her father's instructions earlier, carefully observed, studied carefully, kept her head down, and acted cautiously. Chu Yilan never speaks easily to unfamiliar situations. In the Standing Committee, unless she is asked by name, Chu Yilan plays the role of a loyal listener. Even when it comes to voting on some resolutions, she Most of them just discussed the matter and did not get involved in the factional struggle in Pingling. This made many people who had speculated when she first arrived in Pingling very curious. Especially compared with the slightly strong attitude Chu Yilan showed at the beginning, people felt that there was some reason for this. , or Chu Yilan is just a person who is strong on the outside and weak on the inside. But think about it, as long as she stays in Pingling for two years, with her backing and the advantage of being a female cadre, she will be able to get a good job before she is thirty, and then with a little manipulation, she will be able to You can mix back to Taihua, or simply go directly to the provincial capital Tongyang. Thinking about it, a junior-level female cadre in her thirties would not attract much attention in a bottomless place like Tongyang, and she would naturally rise to the top smoothly. "Thinking about it this way, people understand a lot about Chu Yilan's low-key attitude. Some people even think that it is a good thing that Chu Yilan can just survive these two years of gilded days. You, Miss Chu, have a strong backing. Even the provincial governor has warned you that our Pingling is a small temple. Although we have to offer you a great Bodhisattva, as long as you survive these two years calmly, others will not ask for it. No fun in offending you. There are many people who have this idea, and Du Yan is one of them. For cadres like Chu Yilan, who is a typical picker of peaches and go through the motions, many people have the mentality of not offending them. After all, they have mixed seniority, and there is no big conflict with your local cadres. , everyone lived in peace and quiet for two years, and it passed quickly. Maybe when we meet again in the future, you will be on your feet, but he will already be the leader. So, if anyone can¡¯t think about it and goes looking for trouble, there is something wrong with his brain. Chu Yilan is very clear about the thoughts of Pingling cadres. She knows that these people have a respectful attitude towards her. This kind of thinking is common even among the county party committee team. After two months, Chu Yilan discovered that Pingling's team did not seem to be as contradictory and divided as originally thought. In fact, since Gao Ke's inspection, Li Peizheng's life has become much easier. Although Guo Songlin is Ren Shuqiang's man, he obviously does not have the aura of Ren Shuqiang to directly show his strength to the outside, or even wear it as armor. Guo Songlin prefers to encourage others to fight for him, so now that Li Peizheng has shown a different momentum than before, coupled with his original advantages as the county party committee secretary, Guo Songlin naturally restrained himself a lot. What's more, Guo Songlin has heard that the atmosphere in the city seems to be a little strange. In the previous meetings of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, "Grandma Cui" unexpectedly showed a rare enterprising spirit, while as the mayor, Ren Shuqiang On the contrary, he behaved well and did not conflict with Cui Jianbin. This made Guo Songlin more cautious because of doubts in his heart, but it also gave Li Peizheng greater confidence. Generally speaking, Gao Ke¡¯s inspection did bring some changes to Taihua¡¯s officialdom. At least the original pattern of one party being strong seems to have been gradually broken. It was at this time that Chu Yilan started to take action. Liu Laofei¡¯s sudden loss of power has caused many people to focus on the position of Secretary of the County Political and Legal Committee. Although the status of political and legal agencies has declined in the past few years, and even the original local political and legal committees have been downgraded and turned into political and legal groups. The leaders of some local political and legal groups cannot even join the Standing Committee. However, with the situation at home and abroad, With the changes, the importance of political and legal institutions has been emphasized again. In this way, the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee has become a trophy for several parties to compete. However, everyone knows that because Lao Hu is still relatively junior, he obviously has no chance to become the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, so people can't help but turn their attention to the County Committee. Several other members of the Standing Committee.   Unless the superiors send someone from above, no matter who it is, if they can concurrently serve as the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, they will obviously have more power and power. Thinking of this, the officialdom of Pingling, which had been quiet for the past two months, became tense again. Boiling up. Seeing a Blue Bird parked at the door of Ding Bingxian's house from a distance, Chu Yilan couldn't help but be startled. Although Nissan's Bluebird is not the top luxury car in this era, it is still an unattainable symbol for most people, especially since European cars that represent luxury have not yet fully occupied the market. At a time when governments at all levels had not determined the brand standards for administrative cars, Japanese cars like Bluebird had become a symbol of wealth and status in the minds of ordinary people. Even in Taihua City, such a car is somewhat eye-catching, let alone in Pingling. Ding Bingxian has always been a low-key person, although he has become more active recently, but even so, people at high and low levels still have a good impression of Ding Bingxian. At least in the county committee, no one has ever heard anything bad about Ding Bingxian. Seeing such a Bluebird now, Chu Yilan was somewhat surprised. Chu Yilan has been to Ding Bingxian's home several times. Speaking of it, she envies Ding Bingxian's detached character who does not take pleasure in things and does not feel sorrow for himself. However, it is difficult for Chu Yilan to understand how Ding Bingxian can make such a fuss here. He always maintains this indifferent and unruly character during the struggle. Although she saw the Blue Bird car, Chu Yilan still stepped forward and knocked on Ding Bingxian's door. Thinking that someone who could drive such a dazzling car to the door openly and honestly, he probably had nothing to hide from others. With the sound of footsteps, the courtyard door opened, and Ding Bingxian's wife smiled when she saw Chu Yilan standing at the door. "County Magistrate Chu is here, come in quickly, it's hot outside." Ding Bingxian's wife's surname is Dai, and she teaches at County No. 1 Middle School. The change in her husband's status did not have much impact on her, although the leader of County No. 1 Middle School had previously She tried to change her job, but she quickly declined on the grounds that she liked taking care of students, so now she is still teaching at County No. 1 Middle School. "Aunt Dai, is Uncle Ding at home?" Although she was not an outsider, Chu Yilan still asked according to the rules, but her voice was slightly lowered. If there were other people inside, they would not be able to hear it. . "Here, there are guests coming to the house. Maybe you guys know each other." Teacher Dai invited Chu Yilan into the courtyard with a smile. However, when he saw Su Qian sitting under the grape trellis with Ding Bingxian and looking towards the door, Chu Yilan Yilan couldn't help but be stunned again. When she was still in the new district, Chu Yilan met Su Qian, but at that time she only knew that Su Qian was a foreign investor invited by the new district. Although she also vaguely knew that this beautiful young woman seemed to have some relationship with Du Yan, she did not Didn't take it too seriously. But now that she saw Su Qian at Ding Bingxian's house, Chu Yilan felt a little strange. "Yilan came just in time." Ding Bingxian and Su Qian stood up to greet Chu Yilan. "Come, let me introduce you." Hearing Ding Bingxian's name to herself, Chu Yilan felt strange again. Although at the reception banquet when he first took office, Chu Yilan publicly called Ding Bingxian uncle, indicating the unusual relationship between the two. However, except in private, the two of them still addressed each other by title, let alone in front of outsiders. of. Now Ding Bingxian speaks like an elder in front of Su Qian. It seems that this Su Qian has an equally unusual relationship with the Ding family. "Uncle Ding, you don't need to introduce me. I know Miss Su. She is a very admirable strong woman." Chu Yilan smiled and stretched out her hand to hold Su Qian's hand. The so-called beautiful women are born enemies. Although Chu Yilan is not the kind of person who likes to compete with other women, she still couldn't help but look at Su Qian, who was wearing simple clothes but exuding a rare aura. Du Yan's shadow suddenly flashed across his mind inexplicably. ¡°I don¡¯t know what the relationship between such a beautiful woman and that little gangster is. Chu Yilan pondered secretly. "Yilan, it seems that although you know each other, you still don't know that Su Qian is Du Yan's fianc¨¦e." Ding Bingxian smiled slightly. The unexpected meeting between Chu Yilan and Su Qian made him think it was an opportunity, because in the past two months, Ding Bingxian vaguely noticed that the relationship between her and Du Yan did not seem to be as smooth as originally imagined. At least from Chu Yilan's point of view, there seemed to be some deliberate competition, so Ding Bingxian thought that maybe by introducing Su Qian, Chu Yilan She became more harmonious with Du Yan, after all, it is easier for women to communicate. When she heard Ding Bingxian¡¯s introduction, Chu Yilan was stunned. She glanced at Su Qian in surprise, and thought to herself, "Such a good woman." Why did you let that toad get into your stomach?" He said with a look of realization while chatting with Su Qian. Ding Bingxian stood aside and looked at the two young women.He chatted up angrily and slightly distantly, while at the same time he was recalling the suggestions Su Qian had made to him before. Maybe that was actually Du Yan's idea, but even though the relationship between the two of them was good, according to the rules, it was better for Su Qian to say it herself. After chatting for a few more words, Su Qian stood up and left. Looking at Su Qian's back as she walked out of the door, Chu Yilan shook her head with regret. She really didn't know how such a capable and beautiful girl could be that little gangster. fianc¨¦e. If it weren't for seeing the radiant joy on Su Qian's face every time she mentioned Du Yan, Chu Yilan would have really suspected that the little gangster had used some dirty tricks to deceive him. Su Qian's heart. However, these random thoughts only flashed in her mind. As Ding Bingxian motioned to her to sit down again, Chu Yilan's face showed a questioning look. It is not normal for Du Yan's fianc¨¦e to visit Ding Bingxian's house. If two people are getting married and invite guests, there will definitely be no one, let alone the woman. Regardless of whether Du Yan is a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, As an investor, Su Qian visiting Ding Bingxian as either of the two people would be enough to attract Chu Yilan's attention, not to mention that the two people were actually an unmarried couple. ¡°Su Qian came here to propose to me that she wants to invest in building a large-scale four-season vegetable market in Pingling to cover the wholesale transportation of vegetables in some nearby areas,¡± Ding Bingxian said to Chu Yilan. "This may not be Su Qian's idea," Chu Yilan narrowed her beautiful and slightly aloof eyes, and then asked, "The scale of such a market must be quite large. He wants to sell the entire Taihua area." He has a lot of ambitions in the vegetable wholesale industry, but how can he get such a big market? Isn't Du Yan just imagining it?" After hearing Chu Yilan's words, Ding Bingxian looked at her, feeling a little helpless. I originally thought that based on the relationship between Du Yan and Chu Yijun, and the reason why Du Yan and the Chu family were on the same line, the two people should have a harmonious relationship even if they did not cooperate sincerely. However, Ding Bingxian soon discovered that he did not know whether For some reason, the two people never seemed to be on the right track. And as Chu Yilan gradually gained a foothold in Pingling and began to make her own voice, the vague estrangement between the two gradually disappeared. Obviously, although this kind of estrangement will not affect work, it is always a bad sign. Even among the cadres in Pingling, there are already rumors that something is not right between Deputy County Magistrate Chu and Director Du. Now hearing Chu Yilan's obviously questioning tone, and then thinking about the fact that he had the same doubt after hearing Su Qian's suggestion, Ding Bingxian continued: "This idea is not just for Taihua's market, Su Qian's I said that what this vegetable market will face in the future is the entire border of the three provinces including Taihua, Qingfeng and Linchi, and then the interior of the three provinces. " Chu Yilan looked at Ding Bingxian in astonishment. She really didn't. Thinking of Du Yan's great ambition, she originally thought that a market in the Taihua area was a bit excessive. But judging from Du Yan's intention, he basically wanted to turn this imaginary vegetable market into a large wholesale distribution center for several provinces in the mainland. , this surprised Chu Yilan at first, and then she couldn't help but show a trace of ridicule. "His ambition is not small, but it is a bit too whimsical." Chu Yilan pursed her lips with a slight disdain. "Uncle Ding, I'm really surprised, why do some people say he is so capable? If you say so, I Brother said this, even my dad mentioned him, but I think this person is just dreaming all day long. How can he start such a big market? Where can he source the goods, how can he transport them, and how can he ensure that people are willing to do it? Buy him something, and Qingfeng and Linchi have already left our Hexi Province. Does he think he can do whatever he wants there just like in Hexi? " Hearing Chu Yilan's last words, Ding Bingxian glanced slightly. glanced at her. Ding Bingxian didn't understand why Chu Yilan had such a big prejudice against Du Yan. This had even affected the relationship between the two. In Ding Bingxian's impression, although Chu Yilan was young, she had been influenced by Chu Ping since she was a child. Influenced by others, one should not easily have such an emotional attitude due to personal reasons. "Uncle Ding won't talk about this anymore. I came here to tell you a suggestion of mine." Chu Yilan remembered her original intention of coming to Ding Bingxian and put aside the matter about Du Yan. Anyway, it was just that little The gangster's own whims were something she didn't want to waste time on. Chu Yilan said as she enthusiastically took out a piece of information from her bag and handed it to Ding Bingxian. She said that she didn't just want to stay in the position of executive deputy county magistrate for two years. The key is that Chu Yilan not only wants to have a big fight in Pingling,She was still thinking about taking this opportunity to complete the first complete step in her resume in Pingling - becoming the county magistrate, or even the county party committee secretary. Ding Bingxian looked at the materials Chu Yilan brought. It was a plan that seemed to be large in scale and equally ambitious. This made Ding Bingxian even more sure that Chu Yilan's thoughts were not just about being unknown in Pingling in the past few years. In fact, if you think about it, you will understand that with Chu Ping's style, even in the face of such great difficulties, he still proposed the inter-provincial railway plan, a grand project that almost shook the foundation of some people. His children will never be that mediocre. generation. Ding Bingxian thought in his mind and couldn't help but secretly sigh. With Chu Ping's status as a high official in the border areas, once he is not liked by some people, it is still inevitable that he will retire sadly. It can be seen that the domestic political environment is dangerous. To what extent. ¡°What no one expected was that just when Chu Ping¡¯s ambition was thought to have come to an end, it suddenly took a turn for the worse. Now not only Chu Ping's inter-provincial railway plan has been re-proposed by Gao Ke, but Chu Ping's children are finally able to soar into the sky after having to keep a low profile for a long time. Even Ding Bingxian, Chu Ping's earlier subordinates, have also followed suit. Opportunities to express ambitions. Ding Bingxian was thinking about it while flipping through Chu Yilan's ideas. Just when he was about to close the materials after looking at them in general, Ding Bingxian's hand suddenly stopped. He carefully read along the line of text that caught his attention. After reading it, Ding Bingxian's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. "Uncle Ding, what do you think of these plans?" Chu Yilan asked with a smile. She had actually noticed the changes in Ding Bingxian's face, but she thought it shouldn't be a big problem. The important thing is that she had already done all this. She found someone to argue in advance, so although she knew why Ding Bingxian showed such a look, she still believed that as long as she had sufficient reasons, Ding Bingxian would support her. "The whole plan is pretty good. It takes into account the trend of economic development in the next few years, especially the trend of using a large number of chemical materials to replace traditional materials in infrastructure projects across the country in the future. I have seen some relevant reports in this regard," Ding Bingxian said. Nodding his head in affirmation, he was thinking about how to tell Chu Yilan, "Introducing a large-scale chemical factory in Pingling does have advantages for us. After all, we have the foundation as a traditional heavy industry base. We have relatively rich experience in this area, and more importantly, we have relatively abundant resources, which can form a cost advantage to a large extent." Listening to Ding Bingxian's explanation of the benefits of his plan, Chu Yilan just looked at him with a smile. , she knew that Ding Bingxian would soon say that "but". Sure enough, after making some affirmations, Ding Bingxian's expression gradually became serious. He looked at Chu Yilan seriously, paused for a moment and then said helplessly: "The whole plan is indeed very good, but the location of your chemical plant Can you reconsider it?" Seeing that Ding Bingxian finally said the most critical question, Chu Yilan smiled and nodded. "Uncle Ding, I know you may think that my location selection is a bit arbitrary, but this suggestion has been verified by experts," Chu Yilan said with a smile, "I have been busy with this during this time, and I gave the relevant information to the experts. After reading this, we came to the conclusion that the conditions required to build a large-scale ethylene chemical plant with an annual output of 5,000 tons are very demanding. In addition to sufficient land, we also need sufficient water sources to facilitate circulation. There is Xiaoqing River, but considering other factors, experts unanimously agree that the best location is the new district of Pingling. " Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 91 Contradiction Du Yan sat at the table, looked down at the documents in his hand, then raised his head to look at the person in front of him, then continued to look down at the documents, but after a while he raised his head again. After coming here several times, Su Qian, who had been working, had to put down the pen in her hand with some helplessness. "I can't work with you like this." Su Qian looked at Du Yan with a little bit of anger, but she didn't know that her appearance made Du Yan feel hot. If it hadn't been in broad daylight, he would probably have Transform into a wolf. But even though he couldn't get intimate right away, Du Yan simply put down what he was doing, walked around the chair to Su Qian and stretched out his hand to her. Seeing him like this, Su Qian's face turned red and she looked towards the door with a slight uneasiness. Today is Sunday, and Du Yan has a rare day off at home. In fact, according to Du Yan's own wishes, he really wants to live a small life of two with Su Qian in the small suite in the family home of his county committee, but Sang Shulan seemed to have guessed his pettiness, so she called Su Qian's house early and asked Su Qian to come home for dinner early in the morning. As someone who has been there, Sang Shulan certainly knows what her son is thinking, but some recent events have made her a little more cautious. In recent days, no matter where she goes, Sang Shulan can feel people's slightly deliberate flattery towards her. Although she doesn't know exactly why, Sang Shulan knows that it must be because of her son. Sang Shulan¡¯s educational level is not high and she joined the workforce after graduating from junior high school. However, her years of life experience have made her very clear about some simple but most practical principles. ¡°At least Sang Shulan knows that although her son seems to be quite prosperous recently, not all good things may come with this success. Because of this, Sang Shulan pays more attention to some small daily things. For example, she never lets unfamiliar people into the house easily, and she does not accept things that people bring to her door. As for the seemingly simple small requests made by some neighbors, Except for family matters, I will never agree easily. Although she didn't know anything about Du Yan's work, Sang Shulan at least clearly understood that her son had become the leader of the county party committee at a young age, and was said to have been received by the governor. From these things alone, it was not necessarily clear that It¡¯s what everyone wants to see. A few days ago, Du Zhenhai and Sang Shulan finally formally visited Su Qian's parents. Although they had conflicts with Gu Weifen in the past, the two families were about to become in-laws, so everything was resolved as much as possible. In this way, although the certificate has not been officially obtained, the relationship between the two families has been truly settled, which makes Sang Shulan very happy. However, despite this, Sang Shulan paid more attention to her son, even though she had known that her son and Su Qian may have already cooked the rice, but just like that, Sang Shulan was even more worried that her son might go too far because of the first taste and unable to control himself. So she called Su Qian home early. Even though she knew that this would not have any effect, she thought it was better than letting them have sex in the crowded county committee family courtyard. Du Yan actually knew his mother's thoughts very well, but when the two of them were together, looking at his wife who could only look at her but not eat, just across the table, Du Yan couldn't calm down. In a few days, Su Qian would leave him and return to the East China Sea. Naturally, he couldn't control it. "Be careful, let mom see it," Su Qian said helplessly to Du Yan, who came around behind her to massage her secretly, "Besides, we can't work with you like this, I'm busy." "I Aren't you busy too?" Du Yan leaned down and whispered in Su Qian's ear, "This work requires a combination of work and rest to be efficient. It's boring to work alone all the time." Du Yan blew into her ear. However, Su Qian couldn't help but feel her ears itching first, and then her body felt a little soft. She felt Du Yan's hand pressing on her neck very gently. The touch that was neither light nor heavy made her feel comfortable and slightly soft. With her heart beating slightly, she turned around slightly and glanced at Du Yan reproachfully. Unexpectedly, her look in Du Yan's eyes was more attractive than any teasing. For a moment, his hands on Su Qian's smooth neck began to become restless, and his palms slid along the slightly parted collar. , Su Qian's body shrank slightly first, and then straightened up uneasily with a soft "àÓ". "Qianqian, it seems bigger than before." Du Yan whispered in Su Qian's ear. Seeing Su Qian's red and shy look, he lowered his head and bit Su Qian's earlobe gently, whispering A love story between two people. "Umhey," sensing the reaction caused by Du Yan's hand, Su Qian let out two seductive whispers, then turned around and glared at him accusingly, "It's still the leader. It's really unreasonable." " So what about the leaders? Do you really want to be so serious about them?There are so many descendants, not to mention those senior cadres and old leaders. Look at their current wives, which one is the original wife. " Du Yan curled his lips slightly. He looked down upon those so-called gentlemen who were sanctimonious all day long and were more dirty than anyone else behind their backs. "So you also want to imitate them, right? "Su Qian didn't know whether it was because she was angry or because of Du Yan's dishonesty. She snorted in her nose. Then she immediately raised her head and looked back at Du Yan's expression with some worry, as if she was afraid that he would be angry. "Du Yan, I didn't mean that, you know I only have you now. " "I know, Qianqian," Du Yan put his chin slightly on the top of Su Qian's head. He took back his hand that had been placed in Su Qian's collar. He held Su Qian's smooth chin with both hands and gently touched it with his fingertips. "Let's not talk about this, okay? It's just the two of us now, not to mention we will be married in two months," her skin slid. " Hearing Du Yan's words, Su Qian showed a shy but joyful look on her face. Thinking about all the setbacks the two of them had experienced since they met, and thinking about finally being able to get married one day, Su Qian suddenly felt that in the past All the efforts paid off, and even the vague speculation about Du Yan in his heart was not that important anymore. According to the results of the previous discussion between the two families, the wedding was scheduled for the end of the year. Originally, Du Zhenhai and Sang Shulan. I hope they get it done soon, but for Du Yan, this period is a critical time to fully implement the pilot restructuring of Pingling Heavy Machinery Factory. In addition, Gu Weifen somewhat wants to show off the wedding preparations more fully. Because Du Yan was not only a formal state cadre, but also a moderate leader, although marriage no longer required political review and organizational approval, there were still some small matters. The situation was still going to change. For the sake of the future, Du Yan was even more careful about this. As Fang Jiqing began to gradually establish his special ceramic basic materials laboratory in Pingling, everyone who was a little familiar with it was familiar with it. She became very interested in how much money Su Qian made in the East China Sea. In today's era, the East China Sea is not only a distant but also mysterious place. Being able to make a living in the East China Sea is already incredible. Inviting a professor from the famous Donghai University to set up a laboratory in Pingling is not only new to many people, it is simply a miracle. Because of this, what exactly does Su Qian have in Donghai. This has become a topic that has caused many people to speculate. Although all this has not been revealed yet, Du Yan knows that once he and Su Qian get married, paying attention to the property of leading cadres will become the key to his progress in the future. , especially with the gradual opening up of domestic media, this issue will sooner or later become the focus of attention of ordinary people. More importantly, I believe that if something happens in the future, this issue will definitely be the first to be used against those who want to deal with themselves. The characteristics of domestic politics determine the special nature of the struggle. All cadres who fall have either economic problems or style problems. There are almost no exceptions beyond these two categories. The reason for this is that there are no Anyone who dares to put the real reasons for conflicts and struggles on the table will completely break the rules that everyone in the officialdom must abide by. Because of this, when Du Yan submitted an application to the organization for approval of marriage, He specially attached a certificate about Su Qian's personal assets, which seemed a bit new now. However, when Li Peizheng saw the amount of Su Qian's personal assets listed on the certificate, he was stunned at first, and then I couldn't help but secretly sigh, this Xiao Du is really lucky to have found such a rich, beautiful, but also virtuous and intelligent wife. About Su Qian, she relied on her wit and cleverness to defeat Liu, the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, when Gao Ke inspected Pingling. The story of Zhiyiyi has now spread throughout Taihua. Even the "prodigal son" scolded by Secretary-General Duan of the provincial government out of anger has become a hot topic among Taihua cadres. Liu Zhi originally had a bad relationship with Cui Jianbin. Although he was the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, he had always treated Cui Jianbin in many ways. It was just because Cui Jianbin always acted with caution, so Liu Zhi didn't care much about Cui Jianbin's treatment of him in the municipal party committee. Thoughts, but Secretary Duan¡¯s words that could almost be said to announce his future destiny made Liu Zhi¡¯s situation become difficult. What¡¯s more, Cui Jianbin suddenly changed from ¡°Mother Cui¡± to Secretary Cui, and Liu Zhi¡¯s life also became difficult. Even sadder. There are even rumors that Liu Zhi will not be in the municipal party committee for too long, and he will have to move out soon. Because of this, after Li Peizheng heard that Du Yan was getting married, he felt that Xiao Du's fate was really good.??, I can't help but sigh that life is really wonderful. Just over a year ago, I took Su Qian and Du Fei to visit Du Yan in the provincial capital. Even because of this, my wife was inexplicably upset. It was an unpleasant experience. Who would have thought that more than a year later, Su Qian has become a great businesswoman. Not only did she want to invest and build a factory in Pingling, but she also invited a professor from Tunghai University back. It is said that Professor Fang led the establishment of The Basic Materials Laboratory has attracted the attention of some domestic peers. There is even news that even some important higher-level departments are interested in this laboratory. It was at such a time that Du Yan filed for marriage and also took the opportunity to "disclose" the source of Su Qian's property. Just thinking about it, even the superior leaders know very well that this "publicity" is just a formal formality. The real inner things, unless you want to have a head-on collision with someone or even decide to beat the opponent to death with a stick, otherwise everyone will They won't be so serious, after all, no one can guarantee that they are that clean. "Du Yan, when it comes to getting married, don't take the conditions my mother mentioned to heart," Su Qian looked at Du Yan with a slightly embarrassed look, "She is that kind of person, very vain, and always likes to show off everywhere. " Hearing Su Qian talk about Gu Weifen, Du Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Speaking of Gu Weifenti's conditions, it's not a big deal. For most families with only one daughter, the daughter's marriage is the only time in her life. She naturally hopes to be successful, but Du Yan's identity is not important in this matter. She seemed a little more sensitive, which made Su Qian very worried that Du Yan would be unhappy because of this. Now Gu Weifen actually has very complicated feelings about her daughter's marriage. Du Yan became a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee at a young age. This is a rare good family for any ordinary family with a daughter. Gu Weifen originally felt that she was determined before. It was wrong to oppose them, but after a trip to the East China Sea, Gu Weifen couldn't help but feel a little shaken. Everything in the East China Sea is so magical and even unbelievable to Gu Weifen, whether it is the dizzying high-rise buildings or the endless traffic on the streets, it is said that just one car is worth as much as a worker in the county. The car that cost him a lifetime's salary made Gu Weifen seem to be in another world. And after seeing Su Qian¡¯s agency center and hearing the staggering rent, Gu Weifen felt that her daughter had completely changed. After this, looking back at Du Yan, Gu Weifen couldn't help but hesitate again. Today's government cadres are different from those of later generations. Although their salaries are not high, they do not receive much additional income. The most important thing is that because of the liberalization of the economy in the past few years, the government has extended its hands to all walks of life with huge profits. It's not that long. Apart from the iron rice bowl, it's a pretty good salary. In some places, it's not even comparable to those who have the courage to go overseas and do business. Especially after meeting the young man named Lu next to Professor Fang, Gu Weifen felt that her daughter seemed more suitable for that young man. If nothing else, Lu Xiaoguang was from Donghai, and in Gu Weifen's opinion, his daughter was better than Du Yan, a country bumpkin, seems to fit in well. In addition, it is said that this young man named Lu seems to have a very unusual family background. His parents are both well-known figures in a big city like Donghai. ¡° And Gu Weifen can also see that Lu Xiaoguang is obviously very interested in his daughter. If his daughter hadn¡¯t been the one who got the best of her, this might not have been a satisfactory marriage. So while mother and daughter were alone together, Gu Weifen tested Su Qian intentionally or unintentionally, but she didn't expect that Su Qian just said calmly, "Mom, don't think too much about this matter. I will never marry anyone except Du Yan in my life." Gu Weifen couldn't help but feel a little depressed. She wanted to talk a few more words, but when her daughter didn't speak, she had a faintly unhappy look on her face. Gu Weifen actually didn't dare to say anything more. In fact, after Su Qian went to Donghai and came back, Gu Weifen had already felt that her daughter was different from before. When she saw Su Qian's career in Donghai with her own eyes, she saw all the people in the office who seemed to be elites. The college students were all respectful to their daughter, but Gu Weifen really didn't dare to interfere with Su Qian's affairs. Just like this, Gu Weifen put forward various conditions for the wedding. According to what she said to Du Zhenhai and his wife, "Our family Qianqian has been waiting for your family Du Yan for so many years. It has been a lot of pain." I have suffered a lot and listened to a lot of gossip. If I don¡¯t have this kind of glory, wouldn¡¯t it be a big loss for the rest of my life?¡± Du Zhenhai and his wife actually agreed with Gu Weifen¡¯s remarks. Because of this, in the two families After discussion, the Du family fully agreed to all the conditions proposed by Gu Weifen. This made Su Qian, who was sitting next to her, look on her face.Hong Hong wanted to persuade Gu Weifen, but was too embarrassed to speak. "It doesn't matter, Qianqian, this is a lifelong matter between the two of us, and what your mother said makes sense." Du Yan comforted Su Qian softly. Of course he knew the conditions Gu Weifen put forward, although it satisfied her own vanity. However, Du Yan didn't care much about his influence as the leader of the county party committee. Firstly, the power of the media in this era is not strong enough. Even if someone wants to expose it casually, it is not that simple. Secondly, By applying for marriage and submitting proof of property in Su Qian's name, it can be regarded as paving the way for the future. In this case, it is not a bad thing to take this opportunity to make people familiar with those rumors. The so-called commonplace, as time goes by, all kinds of wild guesses will naturally become less and less. Even if someone wants to use property issues to make excuses in the future, there will be a sufficient buffer. With this thought in his mind, Du Yan's hands became dishonest again. While he gently unbuttoned Su Qian's top, he whispered to her earlobe and kissed her gently between his lips and teeth. Su Qian was so provoked by Du Yan that her body became hot and she couldn't help but breathe lightly. She responded to Du Yan slightly reservedly while trying to make the last struggle: "Du Yan, stop fooling around, maybe mom will come in soon, and I still have some unfinished work on hand. I have to go to the county to register the letter of intent for the vegetable market tomorrow" "Then let's hurry up and move quickly?" Du Yan smiled and stretched his hand towards Su Qian's skirt. But just as he pulled the zipper halfway, a sudden phone rang. Du Yan could not keep his eyes fixed on the ringing phone. If his eyes could get angry, the entire phone would have been reduced to a pile of ashes by this time. Su Qian looked at Du Yan in a funny way. This kind of thing had happened before. At that time, Du Yan looked like he wanted to eat people. Fortunately, others could not see his virtue, otherwise Su Qian would really feel shameless. Meet someone. After looking at the phone and getting angry, Du Yan still picked up the phone angrily. "Director Du, please excuse me. I'm Tu Xiangdong." Tu Xiangdong's casual greeting on the phone made Du Yan feel dissatisfied but had nowhere to vent. He couldn't say "You're really bothering me." "What's wrong, Director Tu?" Du Yan asked helplessly. "That's right, Director Du. There are several issues to be discussed at the County Standing Committee tomorrow morning. I want to tell you in advance." Tu Xiangdong's tone was casual with a hint of caution. Du Yan was quite satisfied with his attitude. Although he has not shown any signs of turning to his side so far, Du Yan is very optimistic about Tu Xiangdong's habit of strictly abiding by his duties. It is this attitude of knowing how to advance and retreat that makes Tu Xiangdong even though he has held several positions. Although he is the first secretary and director of the county party committee office, he is quite secure in his position. But what Du Yan noticed now was the tone Tu Xiangdong revealed to him. According to organizational regulations, the various topics to be discussed at the Standing Committee must be drafted in advance and then distributed to all Standing Committee members. Proposals made without prior notification are not only inconsistent with organizational regulations, but are often a method that outweighs the gains and losses, even for some. The powerful secretary of the Standing Committee, who has good control over others, also tries not to adopt this approach, because doing so means deliberately launching a surprise attack on others, which is obviously a move that can easily cause conflicts. However, such advance notices are usually sent to each Standing Committee member by the staff of the party committee office on the day of the meeting. Tu Xiangdong's special notice made Du Yan immediately realize that something might have happened. Something important. "Director Du, at tomorrow's Standing Committee meeting, Deputy County Magistrate Chu put forward a proposal to introduce a large-scale polyvinyl chloride chemical plant in Pingling. I want to tell you about this situation." "County Magistrate Chu Want to introduce a chemical plant?" Du Yan was slightly stunned after hearing Tu Xiangdong's words. He had known for a long time that Chu Yilan was unwilling to be left alone. If his guess was wrong, Chu Yilan even wanted to take the position of future Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee to her side, thus forming a favorable situation for her in the Standing Committee. situation. It¡¯s just that Du Yan thinks that although Chu Yilan¡¯s actions are a bit aggressive and even a little willful, as long as they don¡¯t hinder him, Du Yan doesn¡¯t want to have any conflict with Chu Ping, a very ambitious daughter. After all, although the two people have different purposes, they can barely be considered on the same line. There is no need to consume each other for trivial matters. So even though Du Yan heard that Chu Yilan proposed to introduce a chemical plant, Du Yan was just stunned, but he immediately realized that if there were no special reasons, Tu Xiangdong would not have disclosed this matter to him in advance.  So he then asked: "What's the specific situation, Director Tu?" "That's right, Deputy County Magistrate Chu previously transferred a batch of information on local hydrology in Pingling from the County Geography Office and the Archives Office of the County Party Committee Office. The information should be used to provide research for this project. These have been reported to the county party committee office before. " Listening to Tu Xiangdong's words, Du Yan nodded slightly. Since Geng Zhen and Chu Lin's incident, the county party committee office archives have become It is a very sensitive place. Many people regard the archives as a cold palace for demotion and distribution. The original cadres are clamoring to be transferred. Especially, I don¡¯t know how it came out that Geng Zhen and Chu Lin had secretly communicated in the archives. Qu, after the secret tryst, the archives became a place where no one asked. Because of this, Tu Xiangdong had no choice but to take charge of the archives office himself, hoping to straighten out the somewhat chaotic situation as soon as possible. Probably because of this, Tu Xiangdong knew that Chu Yilan had used a large number of hydrological data on Pingling before, and obviously, this also attracted Tu Xiangdong's attention. "I paid attention to the proposal for tomorrow," Tu Xiangdong said cautiously on the phone. "Based on the documents that Deputy County Magistrate Chu had called before, I found that Deputy County Magistrate Chu was very interested in the Xiaoqing River in the new district. , because there is an ancillary proposal in it, which specifically mentions the proposal to build a secondary power distribution station in the upper reaches of Xiaoqing River in the new district. " Tu Xiangdong's words made Du Yan feel stunned! Anyone with a little common sense knows that due to the particularity of the production process of the chemical industry, some key equipment must not only have long-term uninterrupted power supply, but also have sufficiently stable power control. Because of this, as long as conditions permit, all Large chemical plants must have their own power distribution facilities, and such settings must be built near the factory. Chu Yilan wanted to introduce a chemical plant, which was the next best thing. However, she also proposed to build a power distribution station. Its purpose could only be to provide supporting facilities for the chemical plant. So if you think about it carefully, you will understand that this chemical plant There is only one location, and that is the new district of Pingling! The look on Du Yan's face suddenly turned cold. He was too lazy to care about Chu Yilan's affairs at first. He just let her pick the peaches if she wanted to. Thinking about it carefully, even if it wasn't Chu Yilan, it would be someone else. Domestic officialdom That's how it was originally. Even if it were replaced by another young master with a rich background, things might have become worse. But now Chu Yilan actually wanted to reach into the new area, which violated Du Yan's limit. "Thank you, Director Tu," Du Yan said to Tu Xiangdong on the phone. "This news is very important. I will remember it." "There is no news. I just had nothing to do to chat with Director Du." Tu Xiangdong said indifferently. He said it as if the things he said before had nothing to do with him. "I understand, Director Tu. I'd like to help you later," Du Yan smiled faintly. Listening to the empty voice that came immediately, Du Yan slowly put the microphone away, and then shook his head slightly, "This is Tu Xiangdong." "What, is something wrong?" Su Qian came over and asked with a little doubt. She had never interfered with Du Yan's work, but she just heard Chu Yilan mentioned on the phone, which reminded her of the beautiful deputy county magistrate she met at Ding Bingxian's house the afternoon before. situation. "That Miss Chu gave me a problem," Du Yan turned around and said to Su Qian, "She wants to introduce a polyvinyl chloride chemical plant along the Xiaoqing River section of the new district." "Introducing a chemical plant in the new district?" Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan in astonishment, "There is already a Qingguo winery in the new district. If a chemical factory is introduced, will it have an impact on the winery's products?" Hearing Su Qian's question, Du Yan smiled softly. , he did not expect that Su Qian would already have awareness of food pollution at this time. Although this is still far from the true concept of environmental protection, at least it is very advanced in this era. But what really worries Du Yan is not just the ecological impact that the chemical plant may have on the new area. There have been many rumors in later generations about the negative talk about the chemical industry, which eventually led to an extreme environmental thinking. Many people regard this kind of environmentalism that is not rational but purely idealistic as some kind of moral high ground. Even later, when a PX project was proposed in some places, the local people would oppose it regardless of whether it met the construction standards or not. The price after repeated boycotts is that related projects in other countries have taken the opportunity to launch, and at the same time, the price of PX raw materials on the world market has skyrocketed. By then, Chinese people can only pay several times or even ten times more than before. Go buy those products. Precisely because of this, Du Yan doesn¡¯t think it¡¯s inappropriate for Chu Yilan to introduce a chemical factory. As long as the factory meets the construction conditions and the environmental protection recycling system meets the regulations,According to the standard, he actually has no objection to such introduction. What makes Du Yan really unacceptable is Chu Yilan's tendency to do these things. It was obvious that Chu Yilan had some purpose in doing this. Although it could not be said that her purpose was aimed at herself, Du Yan still could not accept, or could not tolerate, her attitude. Chu Yilan can pick peaches, grab credit, and use Pingling as a springboard for advancement. Du Yan can't care about these things and doesn't want to care about them. But regardless of whether he intended it or not, Du Yan would never allow anyone to interfere with his plan. "Miss Chu seems to have always been compliant," Du Yan's face looked a little gloomy. "She probably really thinks that she can sit in this position because of her own ability. It seems that she needs to be beaten." After that, Du Yan thought for a while, picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hello, is this the Second Division? Please call Director Liu. I am from the Taihua Pingling County Committee, and my surname is Du." Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 92 The Flood Arrives Suddenly Monday morning looked gloomy. The period from June to the end of July is the traditional flood season in Xiaoqinghe. Often, at this time, it is the most tense period for the whole county. Unless the flood season passes, people's spirits will collapse every day. Tight. Fortunately, although this year is still as tense as ever, it has already entered August. According to common sense, it is past the most dangerous period. There is no need for county party committee leaders to take turns at the flood control headquarters. Even the previous county flood control headquarters The headquarters has also been prepared to cancel the dispersal in a few days. I just don¡¯t know why, but the weather has never been good recently, which affects people¡¯s mood to some extent. Guo Songlin walked slowly into the county committee house. Seeing the brisk pace in front of him, whose graceful curves were moving every time he took a step, Guo Songlin couldn't help but take a few more glances. Seemingly hearing footsteps behind her, Chu Yilan turned around and saw Guo Songlin behind her. "Good morning, County Magistrate Guo." Chu Yilan greeted Guo Songlin. "County Magistrate Chu just woke up early, isn't he in front of me?" Guo Songlin smiled meaningfully. Guo Songlin, like everyone else, kept a respectful distance from Deputy Magistrate Chu, who had a strong backing. In fact, it's not that Guo Songling has never thought about having deeper contact with Chu Yilan, at least it will be a way in the future. Even though Chu Yilan is now the executive deputy county magistrate, it will not take two years for her to soar into the sky. When you meet, you may have to behave yourself and call them boss, so it never hurts to build a good relationship at this time. But before Guo Songlin¡¯s idea was put into practice, a warning from Ren Shuqiang woke him up. Although he did not say the specific reason, Ren Shuqiang clicked on Guo Songlin when Guo Songlin went to the city to meet him. Although nearly two months have passed, Guo Songlin has not forgotten Ren Shuqiang's seemingly casual words, but they actually contain countless meanings: "The water in Pingling is too deep, and it is not easy for people to come and go. Don't make the mistake of going up casually." When the time comes, it will not be easy to get off the boat.¡± When he heard Ren Shuqiang¡¯s words, Guo Songlin felt a cold feeling on his back. Although he thought he was just thinking of many ways, he finally had a backer. He couldn't help but worry that Ren Shuqiang would cause trouble for him. Guo Songlin was very clear about Ren Shuqiang's methods. Because of this, he immediately restrained his intention to talk to Chu Yilan. After more than two months, Guo Songlin also discovered that Chu Yilan didn't seem to be the same. I have no intention of deliberately getting close to anyone in Pingling. Guo Songlin is even more convinced that Chu Yilan is using Pingling as a springboard, planning to fly away after completing two years of experience. "County Magistrate, I don't dare to take your words seriously. You are the leader and should be in the front." Chu Yilan smiled slightly, but when she said this, there was a hint of indifference in her eyes that could not be noticed by others. Regarding Guo Songlin, Chu Yilan already had a general idea after several months of observation and what she heard from others. This is a person who is keen on power, or a typical representative of grassroots officialdom cadres. For Guo Songlin, it is impossible to have any other ideas except the idea of ??climbing up, and the means for them to climb up are often not based on any resounding hard-hitting political achievements, but entirely on the use of tricks. Infighting. Chu Yilan really looked down on people like Guo Songlin. She knew that Guo Songlin was Ren Shuqiang's right-hand man, but in her mind, even Ren Shuqiang, although he was called domineering, still had some ability. ¡°But Guo Songlin, apart from fighting with others, she really doesn¡¯t see any ability at all. However, Chu Yilan also knew that not only could she not offend Guo Songlin at this time, but she also had to maintain some kind of apparent unity with him, because as long as she wanted to make a difference in Pingling, she could not get the help of this local cadre from the county. Long-term support is unrealistic. As for the county party secretary Li Peizheng, Chu Yilan firmly remembered what her father Chu Ping said to him before leaving: "Don't get too close to Yang Weiquan's people. After all, they are not from Hexi." Her father's almost stubborn local consciousness did not take it seriously. In her opinion, if local cadres were like Ren Shuqiang and Guo Songlin, they would be really unworthy. Even if they were suppressed by outside cadres, they would have nothing to say. But with several After months of experience, Chu Yilan gradually began to understand the true meaning of her father's words. In essence, there is no difference between Chu Yilan and Yang Weiquan. Just like Chu Yilan working at the grassroots level, Yang Weiquan came to Hexi just to take the necessary steps on his resume. Once the time comes, Yang Weiquan will eventually leave Hexi. of. ? ?In a word, the foundation of Yang Weiquan or the Yang family is not in Hexi. Not to mention that Yang Weiquan will inevitably leave in the future. Even if he wants to cultivate a group of cronies and turn Hexi into his own sphere of influence, it depends on whether others agree. It¡¯s one thing to ask Young Master Yang to use Hexi as a stepping stone for his rise, but it¡¯s another thing for you to take the opportunity to turn Hexi into a forbidden area for your Yang family. Yang Weiquan will not do anything that may affect the relationship with the local forces in Hexi. After all, what he needs is to make good friends, not to make enemies everywhere. As a result, once Yang Weiquan leaves, the situation of his subordinates who stayed in Hexi will be embarrassing. It would be fine if Yang Weiquan is a nostalgic person. Considering that these people have worked hard for many years without credit, they will still have some feelings. He needs to take care of her a little bit, but even so, this little bit of affection can only be used sparingly. If Yang Weiquan is a purely ungrateful politician, then these people will definitely have a hard time in the future, because once these people have conflicts with local cadres, Yang Weiquan will give up on them in order to have a good relationship with the local forces in Hexi Province. It was precisely because Chu Yilan had figured out the meaning of her father's words that she showed no involvement in their disputes in Pingling from the very beginning. Instead, she focused on handling her own affairs seriously. After all, if If everything goes well, she believes that she may not just be a county magistrate in Pingling in the future. After all, she can be regarded as a local cadre, and she has some advantages in this regard. Chu Yilan walked into her office and smelled the sweet, bitter and moist aroma emitted by the dense mulberry leaves outside. Chu Yilan took a deep breath. Chu Yilan was quite satisfied with this office. Although she came in a hurry, Tu Xiangdong showed his extraordinary ability. In the chaotic situation at that time, Chu Yilan took advantage of the situation because of Geng Zhen. I was so frightened by the incident that I needed to take a break for the time being. I could only arrange an office in almost two days. Even taking into account the special situation of lesbian Chu Yilan, it was rare to have a separate room in the back of the office. A small room was created as a place for Chu Yilan to change clothes temporarily or for other purposes. Chu Yilan was very satisfied with Tu Xiangdong's attentiveness. She had heard before that Tu Xiangdong was a cautious and well-rounded roly-poly. From the matter of arranging the office, she finally understood why Tu Xiangdong could go through several leaders and always manage the county committee. The position of director is firmly established. No matter who is the leader, if he meets such a subordinate who can be served comfortably, as long as there is no big mistake, he will not be easily removed. If there is anything else that Chu Yilan is not satisfied with, it is her "neighbor". Because Geng really died violently, it was obviously impossible to reuse his office, so Tu Xiangdong found another one that was more suitable. room, but in this way, Chu Yilan found that she and Du Yan had become neighbors. In the past, it was fine, but as Du Yan has been staying in the county party committee longer and longer due to the recent restructuring of the heavy machine factory, they have more and more opportunities to meet. ¡° Sometimes, as soon as we go out, we will encounter them in the corridor, which makes Chu Yilan very unhappy. Chu Yilan didn't understand why she just didn't like Du Yan. Although the bad impression Du Yan left on her when they first met was the key, Chu Yilan also clearly understood that this kind of purely emotional attitude toward people The attitude was very undesirable, and even showed some immaturity, but maybe the first few impressions were too bad, so Chu Yilan couldn't change her opinion of Du Yan. Especially when she thought about the last time this little gangster held her hand and kept talking nonsense in front of so many people in order to compete with Zhang Wenliang, Chu Yilan felt that this kid deserved a beating indescribably. Chu Yilan, who was standing by the window and looking at the dense mulberry trees outside, couldn't help but rub the back of her right hand with her left hand as she thought about it, as if there were still traces of Du Yan's hand on it. At this moment, She just happened to see Du Yan walking into the county committee building unhurriedly on his way to work. Seeing this scene, Chu Yilan couldn't help but frown again. Although she has never been a secretary, during her time as deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, Chu Yilan knew the difficulties of being a secretary, especially the nervous one who has no sense of time and has to listen to the leader's greetings at all times. , and the sense of urgency to get ahead of the leader and do a good job at any time, even now Chu Yilan can't forget it. Because of this, she has also developed the habit of getting up early. People often find that Deputy County Magistrate Chu has almost replaced Director Tu and become the earliest one among the leaders to go to work. Now that she sees Du Yan's virtuous attitude of being slow and diligent, Chu Yilan even has some doubts about how Li Peizheng fell in love with this cunning and dissolute guy in the first place. A few minutes later, there was a call in the corridor:Hearing the slightly familiar footsteps, as the footsteps got closer and closer, Chu Yilan couldn't help but glance at the closed door. Although it is August, the door of Chu Yilan's office is still closed habitually. This is not only because she is a female cadre and pays more attention to her privacy, but also because she has developed a habit in the office environment of the Taihua Municipal Committee. habit. The footsteps seemed to stop outside the door for a moment, and then walked over, which surprised Chu Yilan slightly. She didn't know why Du Yan stopped at the door of her room, but then she stopped thinking about these things. With a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, he leaned his amazingly curved waist against the edge of the desk, and at the same time tapped his slender fingers on the briefcase next to him. "Just wait, I'll see what kind of expression you have on that annoying face later." Chu Yilan thought with a little gloating in her heart. Seeing that it was almost time, Tu Xiangdong briefly looked at the layout of the conference room, and then started knocking on each leader's door door to door to inform them that the meeting time was up. Tu Xiangdong's job as director of the County Party Committee Office is indeed hard. Although he has the title of a member of the County Party Committee Standing Committee, he is actually just an errand to serve others, and everyone he has to serve is a master who cannot be careless, not to mention that he has to be there at all times. Find a balance among these people, and do not cause unhappiness or even suspicion among other leaders just because you inadvertently alienate someone or become too close to someone. Tu Xiangdong was very particular about knocking on the door. He informed in the order of standing committee members. Although he had to run around because each leader's office location was different, he knew the time very accurately, so when he finally knocked on Du Xiangdong's door, he had to run around. After the announcement of Yan's door, it was just enough time for Du Yan to walk from the office to the conference room and still have a few minutes to spare. Du Yan was walking slowly in the corridor with a notebook and teacup. When he passed by Chu Yilan's door, he happened to see Chu Yilan coming out. "Good morning, County Magistrate Chu." Du Yan smiled at Chu Yilan. "Good morning, Director Du." Although she didn't want to pay attention to Du Yan, Chu Yilan didn't go too far. She still had to maintain the relationship on face. What's more, she also knew that Du Yan not only had some relationship with her brother Chu Yijun, but also had a relationship with her brother Chu Yijun. My father seems to be somewhat interested in this young man. But this can't shake Chu Yilan's determination. Chu Yilan has her own ambitions. She doesn't want to hang out in Pingling for two years like a vase. What she wants to do is to make every place where she has worked , can remember that a female leader like her once worked there, which requires something tangible that can really be used! Except for Li Peizheng, everyone else had arrived at the conference room in advance. When they saw Du Yan sitting down, Huang Zhiguo, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, smiled at him. Du Yan also smiled. In fact, he didn't have a good impression of Huang Zhiguo. When he was the mayor of Daqing Township, it was the cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission under Huang Zhiguo who took him away. Although the personnel were changed later, the style of the Discipline Inspection Commission was different. It always made him feel uncomfortable. It¡¯s just that Huang Zhiguo and Ding Bingxian have become very close recently. This surprised Du Yan and at the same time he couldn¡¯t help but wonder what cards Ding Bingxian still had in his hand. As soon as the door of the conference room opened, Li Peizheng's secretary Xiao Chen opened the door and walked in. When he saw Xiao Chen alone, Guo Songlin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Xiao Chen walked to Guo Songlin and whispered a few words to him. "Secretary Li has something to do just now. The meeting will be held later." Guo Songlin said to a few people, but he was secretly wondering, what happened to delay Li Peizheng's time? Several people in the conference room were chatting. Because Chu Yilan was there, Liao Kun, who always liked to make dirty jokes, restrained himself somewhat, but when he couldn't help it, he still said two slightly obscure words. After the joke, Li Peizheng walked into the conference room with a serious expression. "Director Tu, please introduce today's meeting schedule." Li Peizheng did not explain why he was late. It could be seen that he was not in a good mood, which made the conference room quiet. Tu Xiangdong took out the meeting agenda and began to read: "Today's meeting agenda is arranged as follows. First, about the application for the construction of a dedicated highway from New District to Taihua. Second, about the introduction of a large polyvinyl chloride company. There is also the issue of the project approval of the chemical plant, and there is also the issue of two personnel transfers. " Listening to Tu Xiangdong's agenda introduction, there was a slight commotion in the conference room. "Comrades, let me interject." After Tu Xiangdong finished speaking, Li Peizheng spoke with a serious look. His breaking the convention of speaking first made people realize that something might happen. "According to past experience, the flood season of Xiaoqinghe is in The two months of June, July, and August should be the post-flood season, but this year the situation is a bit special.??According to the notification just delivered by the relevant provincial meteorological department, because a section of the upper reaches of the Daqing River connected to the Xiaoqing River in Ganning Province experienced a rare bank breach early this morning, the water level in the upper reaches of the Daqing River surged, which is very likely to It will have an impact on our Xiaoqing River in Pingling. Secretary Cui of the Municipal Party Committee called me just now and asked us to make emergency preparations immediately to deal with possible situations. " Li Peizheng's words made several members of the Standing Committee present take a deep breath. The originally humid and stuffy conference room seemed to suddenly become more unbearable. "Secretary Li, the distance between the Daqing River and its banks broke out. How far are we? "Guo Songlin asked with a frown. "The meteorological department reported that it is not far from the junction of Hexi and Ganning. "Li Peizheng took off his glasses helplessly. "Comrades, I think the most critical thing for us now is how to get through this tide that may affect our Pingling. I suggest that we put it aside temporarily before solving the current situation. Among other things, flood prevention is the most important fundamental task at present. "I completely agree with what Secretary Li said," Guo Songlin said immediately, "Flood prevention work is the top priority now, and other things should be put aside first." " Li Peizheng nodded to Guo Songlin. When others heard the news, they also seemed to concentrate. The Standing Committee began to operate efficiently as never before. According to the procedures that had been arranged long ago, the meeting decided to continue the peace process that had not been revoked before. The organization of the Ling Flood Control Headquarters quickly reconfirmed the flood sections that each person was responsible for. Everyone listened carefully to the arrangements and tried to be clear about the scope of the work they were responsible for. No one dared to take it lightly at this time. , and no one dares to do anything to make Tiaozi do anything wrong, because if he is not careful, he will not only lose his official position, but may also have to go to jail or even lose his head! There is a section of the river embankment about four kilometers long in the New District. There is a section of the road leading to the New District along the Xiaoqing River. Because there is a gentle bend, the flow rate of the Xiaoqing River in this section is not very high because over the years the Xiaoqing River has not flowed very fast. There is also flooding, but because there is often a big buffer at the fork with the Daqing River before the peak of the flood arrives, so although the flood situation is serious every year, there are often near misses, but now it seems that things are Not so optimistic anymore. The large-scale bank collapse of the Daqing River in the upper reaches will definitely cause the river water level to rise due to the inclusion of a large amount of sediment. Once a large flood peak formed in the upper reaches pours into the Xiaoqing River, the originally slow river bend will inevitably become a The obstacle in front of the flood peak! At that time, the flood peak that cannot flow quickly is likely to cause a huge impact and threat to the river embankment! Du Yan did not expect that the tit-for-tat confrontation with Chu Yilan today would suddenly turn into a threat. After hearing Li Peizheng's instructions and looking back at the increasingly gloomy sky outside the window, an ominous thought flashed through Du Yan's heart. "This is the general arrangement," Li Peizheng said loudly. "Now everyone is going to prepare separately. I will only say one more thing. This situation is very sudden. Although we have made a lot of preparations before, we don't know whether we can withstand the huge flood peak that may appear next." , now I just hope that everyone will do their best, and the safety of the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of people in Pingling is entrusted to you. " Listening to Li Peizheng's pleading words, even Guo Songlin's heart could not help but flutter slightly at this moment. After all, he is a native of Pingling, and naturally he does not want to see his hometown being ravaged by floods. " Du Yan has no time. Anyway, he only had time to make a phone call to his family and set off immediately. The sky became darker and darker, and Du Yan's heart became heavier and heavier. In his previous life, he didn't remember what Pingling had encountered in the past few years. The huge flood made him gradually realize that history seemed to be developing in a direction that he was unfamiliar with. He didn't know what this meant to him, but the only thing he thought about at this time was how to ensure that he was responsible. The safety of the river embankment. In normal times, there is nothing special about the section of the river embankment that Du Yan is responsible for. Because the water level of Xiaoqing River has been gentle over the years, even in flood season, there are few major problems, so the locals are very concerned about it. The impact of floods, a once-in-a-century disaster, was rarely considered, so a village called Qiujia'ao was built directly on an open land on the downhill side of the river. Du Yan's car quickly drove into Qiujia'ao to see what was ahead. After receiving the notice, the village party secretary and several cadres had already rushed to the entrance of the village. Before the smiling party secretary Qiu could speak, Du Yan jumped out of the car and loudly ordered: "Qiu party secretary, there is no time to introduce the situation now. , let¡¯s talk as we walk, you can do it right nowThe key members of the village were urgently summoned to gather on the embankment, and the whole village was notified that each family would send strong laborers to prepare to go up the embankment! " Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 93 Facing Choices Upon hearing Du Yan's words, Party Secretary Qiu's face was stunned for a moment. Almost everyone in Qiujiaao has the surname Qiu. Although there are a few families with foreign surnames, there are not many of them. Qiu¡¯s Party Secretary¡¯s name is Qiu Lianfu. He is an ordinary person who no one would look at twice on the street. Although he is only in his early forties, he has been there for many years. The hard work made him look much older than his actual age. For Party Secretary Qiu, the biggest official he has ever seen is the mayor of the town. If it were not for the section-by-section flood control contract, Du Yan, as the contractor, came down several times to check the condition of the embankment. He and the young "county magistrate" would not have had any relationship at all. No chance to meet. Even so, in the eyes of the people of Qiujiaao, many people can't tell who is older than the mayor. In the eyes of some old people, the child-like young man in front of them is obviously not comparable to the usually aloof mayor. "Director Du, do we need to discuss this with Mayor Mao?" Party Secretary Qiu asked cowardly. Du Yan frowned. He didn't expect that Party Secretary Qiu would actually question his order. Then he realized that in the eyes of these ordinary villagers, the county party committee leaders were too far away from them, so far away that they might not hear anything. The center of the capital is almost the same, but those who can decide their fate are often the local cadres who can often see them. It is said that county officials are not as good as current managers. Although this phenomenon is helpless, it is also true. "Find Mayor Mao immediately. What is he doing at this time?! Is he hugging his wife at home?" Du Yan deliberately asked in a slightly rude tone. Because he had worked at the grassroots level, he knew the work of these township cadres very well. Official practices such as work style, leadership style, and lack of sex are not tolerated at the grassroots level. The most basic cadres usually have a rude style and just curse people. Sometimes they beat people. It is not new. Although Du Yan would not do this, in order to scare these villagers who had never seen the world, he could only use the same tactics as when he was in Daqing Township. Although Director Du lost his temper, Party Secretary Qiu felt relieved. These are the cadres that the common people are familiar with. Those county officials are all in trouble, which makes me feel uneasy and comfortable. Du Yan did not wait for Mayor Mao to arrive, but went up the embankment first. Seeing that Director Du was on the embankment, Party Secretary Qiu ordered people to go to Mayor Mao immediately, and at the same time asked several other cadres to go to the village to recruit strong laborers from door to door. After all, even though he was young, he was still a "county prince". If Director Du was really annoyed, It is not worthwhile to complain to Mayor Mao and make Mayor Mao angry and torment him. At this time, some villagers on duty were busy coming and going on the embankment. Seeing this, Du Yan felt a little relieved. Although Xiaoqing River has not had major flooding for many years, the local people are still responsible during the flood season. , after all, his home is behind the embankment. Although he doesn¡¯t believe that something will happen to Xiao Qinghe in his section, it is always better to be cautious. Seeing Party Secretary Qiu and a young man on the embankment, a young man ran over. "San Bo, you're here. Are you busy? Who is this?" the young man asked, wiping the sweat from his face with his sleeves and looking at Du Yan. "No matter how big or small, this is Director Du of the county committee, why don't you say hello quickly." Qiu Party Secretary glanced at the young man, then turned back and smiled at Du Yan, "Director Du, don't be surprised. Country children haven't seen much of the world. "Director Du." The young man curled his lips slightly. Although his face was disapproving, he listened to Party Secretary Qiu's words. This is a typical grassroots rural area. Sometimes the prestige of superior leaders in the eyes of ordinary people is far less than that of the village. The elders here. Du Yan couldn't care about this at this time. He frowned and looked at the Xiaoqing River, which was obviously much more turbulent than usual. Then he waved to the young man, "Bring a tube, hurry up." The young man said: He was stunned and then immediately turned around and ran to a pile of flood control equipment, found an iron bucket and ran over. Du Yan asked people to tie the iron bucket with a rope and go down the river. When he pulled the bucket up, looking at the turbid river water inside, even Party Secretary Qiu, who didn't know what happened, changed his face. "Here, the water in Xiaoqing River has never been so muddy. What's going on?" Party Secretary Qiu whispered uneasily. "The Daqing River in the upper reaches has burst its banks," Du Yan said in a deep voice, and then he turned around and shouted sharply, "Where is Mayor Mao? Why hasn't he come yet?!" "I'm here, Director Du, I'm here!" followed by a sigh Panting and shouting, a yellow-faced middle-aged man staggered up the embankment along the temporary steps. Seeing Du Yan looking at him with an ugly face, Mayor Mao couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart: "Director Du, I, I just I took a nap." Seeing Mayor Mao's yellow face, Du Yan couldn't say anything. He had heard that Mayor Mao had been ill for a while.?It didn¡¯t take long to recover. Besides, according to the flood control experience in previous years, it is indeed the time for the Pingling flood season warning to be lifted. Even if it is two days later, even the county¡¯s temporary flood control headquarters will be disbanded. This is indeed impossible. Mayor Quan Mao. "Lao Mao, you have heard about it," Du Yan said with a serious expression. "The top priority now is to immediately organize the masses to go to the embankment to prepare, and to gather as much materials as possible. We must do the best possible job." Bad preparation." Du Yan said Mayor Mao and nodded. Then seeing that Du Yan had no more instructions, he turned around and ran away without even saying hello. Seeing Mayor Mao's informal attitude towards doing things, Du Yan felt a little more comfortable. It was already this time, and if Mayor Mao asked for instructions again, Du Yan would really want to kick him off the levee. I felt the urge to kick up and down. Mayor Mao was brought up by Guo Songlin before. Because of this, Mayor Mao is usually not very fond of Du Yan, but at this time, the interests of any private person or small group become insignificant. The gloomy sky was covered with lead clouds, and the dark feeling seemed as if the entire sky was about to collapse. As a strong and moist wind blew, the torrential rain wrapped with huge raindrops looked like an overwhelming curtain. It pours towards the embankment from far and near! "Director Du, all the strong laborers are here!" Party Secretary Qiu looked back at the embankment and shouted to Du Yan, but his voice was immediately swallowed up by the increasingly louder rain. "Let everyone get on the embankment!" Du Yan shouted, throwing the stuffy and hot raincoat behind him, and then walked forward along the embankment. By this time, everyone in Qiujia'ao knew what had happened. Not only young and middle-aged men, but even women had ran out of their homes. People were holding various tools in their hands and shouting to each other. Shouting and running busy on the embankment. The river water is becoming more and more turbid, which makes people standing on the river embankment feel uneasy. Over the years, Xiaoqing River has not been seriously polluted due to its special natural location, but this kind of water seems to be mixed with a lot of silt and sediment. , there are also situations where all kinds of debris are flowing down the river, which has never happened before. Seeing this scene, not to mention the young people who have not experienced it, even some experienced old people can't help but turn pale. Looking at the broken branches and trunks of the trees that kept rising and falling in the chaotic river, like monsters with their heads sticking out from the water, Du Yan turned around and said to the nervous Mayor Mao: "Mayor Mao, let everyone put it down immediately. The prepared rough stones must be transported to the embankment as soon as possible. We must be prepared to prevent the debris in the river from directly impacting the embankment. " "Okay," Mayor Mao nodded, and just as he was about to turn around and give instructions, a burst of panic suddenly sounded on the embankment not far away. He shouted: "No! Look!" Du Yan immediately followed the sound, but found that along the rapid river, a huge, broken and tilted wooden boat was undulating down the river. Whenever the waves rolled up, , the wooden boat with no bow will raise its bow high, and at the same time, most of the ferocious triangular steel inserted into the bow of the bow that has broken a big hole will rise and fall like a monster's horn. Follow the river and hit the embankment! "Be careful!" Du Yan yelled and ran towards that section of the river embankment, but before he could reach it, there was a terrifying dull sound mixed with countless shouts and the collision and friction of twisted steel and stone. The huge vibration made him unable to stand still, and Du Yan was thrown out of the embankment! "Director Du!" The driver who had been following Du Yan shouted in a different tone. He stretched out his hand to grab Du Yan, but he couldn't reach it at all. Seeing Du Yan's body sliding down the embankment, the driver yelled in fright. "Help!" "What are you talking about!" Du Yan shouted angrily from below, "Pull me up!" Only then did the driver realize that Du Yan's raincoat was hanging on a piece of water protruding from the slope of the embankment. On the corner of the sharp stone, the raincoat has already torn a big hole. If it were torn open a little more, it would be completely torn in half. The driver immediately called for help and hurriedly dragged Du Yan up the embankment. As soon as his feet landed on the ground, Du Yan immediately ran towards the section of the embankment hit by the broken boat. "Director Du, it's hit the embankment!" The young man who greeted Party Secretary Qiu before shouted and ran over. "Look, that thing is embedded in the embankment!" Du Yan looked in the direction the young man pointed, but saw what he had seen before. The broken boat had been broken into two parts. The front part with the triangular steel sank straight into the pile of rocks under the embankment, and the remaining part was thrown to the slope outside the embankment due to the huge inertia. Above, the river was rolling back and forth with a raging stream of water. "Is anyone injured?" Du Yan shouted, what he was most concerned about at this time was this. "One has a broken bone and a few minor injuries," the young man replied, and thenHe couldn't help but said, "Fortunately, the boat is not big, and people all fell into the embankment, otherwise they would have died." "I was lucky this time, but it won't be so good next time." Du Yan replied dully. There was a sound. A large-scale bank breach in the upper reaches of the Daqing River was something no one had expected. The rise in water level caused by the bank breach was of course extremely urgent. What was even more dangerous was that with the bank breach, a large amount of sediment, stones and various large rocks were mixed into the flood peak. Debris, large and small, flowing down the river is an even more terrifying threat! Under the huge force of nearly millions of tons of water, those debris rushed downstream like unstoppable wild beasts! Who can stop such power? What to use to block it? ! Du Yan couldn't help but think of another major flood in the south a few years later. In that flood, which could be called the largest in recent decades, it was the various mixed forces that occurred when the upstream dam broke, causing serious damage to the downstream dam. There is a greater threat, and this threat accumulates more and more along the way, until it finally accumulates and explodes somewhere! "This won't work!" Du Yan looked at the people who were carrying sandbags and stones from below to strengthen the embankment. He turned back to the young man and said, "Go tell Mayor Mao and Party Secretary Qiu to come see me immediately." The young man turned and ran away, while Du Yan looked back at the small green river outside the embankment, which was becoming more and more ferocious, rolling and steaming like a burning cauldron at the bottom of the river. At this time, the Xiaoqing River was no longer the familiar Xiaoqing River that had brought good weather and peace to the locals in Pingling. Instead, it was an ancient monster that seemed to have awakened and showed its terrifying fangs. "Director Du, are you looking for us?" Mayor Mao ran over panting, his expression seemed even uglier. Next to him, Party Secretary Qiu, who had lost some sense of control, could only nod his head. "Lao Mao, immediately arrange for the reputable old people in the village to come forward and be prepared to evacuate the people from the Qiujia'ao River enclosure." Du Yan ordered in a low voice. When he saw Mayor Mao's expression change, he immediately stretched out his hand to signal him to keep quiet. "As you can see, this is just Hong Feng's vanguard. If the others come from behind, they may not be able to withstand it. If we prepare to evacuate by then, it will be too late." "But Director Du, as soon as the news of the evacuation spreads, Opening the door will shake people's hearts. If everyone's anger is really dissipated because of this, then the embankment" Mayor Mao asked uneasily in a low voice. "The embankment must be protected as much as possible," Du Yan said in a deep voice. He then turned around and said to Party Secretary Qiu who was also at a loss because of the serious situation. "Party Secretary Qiu, the materials we have prepared now cannot withstand the huge disaster that may occur next Hong Feng, sandbags and stones must be available at any time. I don¡¯t care what you think of, I have to get them right away!¡± Qiu Party Secretary¡¯s muddy face suddenly trembled, and he looked at Du Yan with a stern and even murderous look in his eyes. , and then looked back at the village not far below the river embankment. After a moment of hesitation, he suddenly grabbed a shovel from the ground and shouted at the top of his lungs to the nearby villagers: "All the heads of each group come here!" Several villagers heard the sound and ran over. They didn't know Du Yan. Apart from saying hello to Mayor Mao, they just looked at Party Secretary Qiu with red eyes. "Listen to me," Party Secretary Qiu looked at the group leaders in the village with irritated eyes. "Today, this embankment is our Qiu family's life. It's easy to save anything. If we can't save it, our family will be destroyed. Now there is a lack of materials on the embankment. , it¡¯s too late to transport it elsewhere. Today I make the decision to demolish the house and repair the embankment!¡± ¡°Four uncle, whose house is it demolished?¡± A man asked immediately, and several others couldn¡¯t help but look at each other. "Fourth uncle, it's not easy to build a few houses in the countryside. How will we live after the house is demolished?" Secretary Qiu's hand clenched the shovel tightly. After a pause, he let out a muffled growl in his throat: " I¡¯ll dismantle my house first! But I¡¯ll leave it at that. The sooner the materials are delivered, the better. When I need something, I¡¯ll start with whose house is closest to the embankment. If someone gets tired of it by then, don¡¯t blame me for falling out. Don¡¯t even think about staying in our Qiujiaao anymore. We don¡¯t have people like that who only care about themselves!¡± Seeing the fierce look on Qiujiaao¡¯s face, several village leaders could only nod their heads. After they dispersed, Party Secretary Qiu looked back at Du Yan, then without saying anything he grunted and ran down the embankment with the shovel. "Director Du, don't worry," Mayor Mao whispered when he saw Du Yan looking at Party Secretary Qiu's back, "All cadres in the village are like this. When they get angry, they don't care whether they are in front of the leader or not." " Mayor Mao, let's help together." Du Yan did not answer Mayor Mao's words, but grabbed a shovel and followed Party Secretary Qiu. Most of the people in the Qiu family are named Qiu. In the early years, it is said that several brothers of the Qiu family came from Ganning because they were fleeing famine.When we arrived at Pingling, after nearly a hundred years of reproduction, Qiujia'ao became a large local village. Although some other surnames later moved in, the Qiu surname always occupied an overwhelming majority. . Walking into the village of Qiujia'ao, Du Yan felt the distinct atmosphere unique to ethnic villages. We have to admit that in places like this, the power and authority of superior cadres are often not as powerful as a scolding from the local family elders. But even so, when they heard that they had to temporarily evacuate the village, they still encountered great difficulties. And when Du Yan arrived at the door of Party Secretary Qiu¡¯s house, he heard a woman crying from a distance in the yard! "Qiu Lianfu, you are a waste of money. You want to tear down your good home. You don't want to live anymore!" The woman's cry attracted a group of villagers outside the yard who were watching the fun. Although they got out of the way when they saw Mayor Mao, But there were still people laughing and looking inside. When Du Yan walked into the courtyard, he saw Qiu Lianfu holding a shovel in his hand and confronting a woman blocking the door. "You know shit!" Qiu Lianfu shouted to his wife, "If the flood comes, everything will be gone! You will still have a shitty home at that time!" "Then why do you have to demolish your own house?! "The woman was equally reluctant. When she saw Mayor Mao, her face froze for a moment, and then she gritted her teeth and shouted, "If you want to demolish your own house just to be a bad branch secretary, then don't be a sesame official, I think. Who dares to lay a finger on my family? " "You damn bitch, do you think it's inappropriate to say it's inappropriate now? Tell you, it's called running away. If you're in jail, you'll be shot. Do you want me to lose my head and take the blame? Widow? ¡± After hearing what her man said, the woman¡¯s face couldn¡¯t help but change. She looked at Mayor Mao in panic: ¡°Mayor Mao, is this true? My family can¡¯t even be the branch secretary? " Mayor Mao said nothing, but glanced at Qiu Lianfu. "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want me to be in trouble, just get out of the way!" Qiu Lianfu's face turned red. He stretched out his hand to push away the woman who was already a little stupid because of his previous threats. He looked at the two-story stone foundations and half-high green bricks of the tiger skin walls in his house. With the shovel in his hand raised high, a suppressed roar burst out of his mouth amidst the woman's cries: "Demolish!" The rain has been falling, although it is not heavy, but Xiaoqinghe's The situation is getting worse and worse. The river water mixed with a lot of sediment washed down from the upper reaches is already chaotic. From a distance, the entire Xiaoqing River is like a tumbling and struggling mud dragon raging in the river. . Du Yan stood on the river embankment and watched the river water in the distance closely. Like him, there were people on each section of the river embankment observing the movements on the river. People's eyes were wide open when they looked at the huge turbid water flow. Yes, because no one knows whether a monster will show its terrifying face from the bottom of the muddy river in the next second. "Director, please go down and have a rest and eat something." The driver whispered to Du Yan. "Bring it up to me." Du Yan said without taking his eyes off the river. The driver got off the embankment, but after a while, he ran up empty-handed: "Director, Secretary Li's call is very urgent!" Du Yan immediately ran down the embankment, having temporarily pulled a phone line from the village. When I came out, I didn't know where to find an old-fashioned telephone. Although it was inconvenient to use, at least I could contact other places. "Xiao Du, I have something to inform you," Li Peizheng said as soon as he heard Du Yan The voice immediately said loudly, "There was another large-scale embankment breach in Ganning upstream at about noon. The peak of the flood may reach our Pingling today or tomorrow morning at the latest. It may be even bigger this time. Governor Gao has personally Come to Pingling, I have already notified everyone else. Xiao Du, the area you are responsible for is a river bend, and the flood peak there may cause a big impact. Tell me the truth, can you save it? " Du Yan pondered for a moment. At this moment, he suddenly and inexplicably remembered a line that often appeared in movies and TV shows. In the past, whenever hearing this line, it would give people a contrived impression, but now, Du Yan found that he was facing exactly that situation, and reality was more real and cruel than literary works. "Secretary, I can only say that no matter success or failure, I will live or die with the embankment." Du Yan said this calmly. At this time, can you make advances and retreats by yourself? ! "Xiao Du, be careful." Li Peizheng whispered. "Thank you, secretary." Hearing Li Peizheng's concerned tone on the phone, Du Yan felt a warmth flash in his heart. He had known that Li Peizheng was nostalgic for the past, but now that he could hear the instructions with his own ears, he felt that he had been There was no one where Bai and Li Peizheng were the guests of honor. DuYan put down the phone and walked out of the tent. Looking at a few rays of light emerging from the gaps in the dark clouds, his mood became even heavier. Although the weather seemed to be gradually clearing up, the real test was approaching. Du Yan walked back to the tent, took the map on the table and looked at it carefully. The entire river bend is like a big spoon. Qiujia'ao is in the middle recess of the spoon, and the surrounding terrain is tilted outward. Seeing this, Du Yan thought for a moment, and then picked up the phone on the table. . "Hello, I am Du Yan, member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee. I am speaking to the Zhao Brigade." Du Yan said into the phone. Du Yan found Mayor Mao and Qiu Lianfu. Listening to his introduction, the two people couldn't help showing solemn looks on their faces. "Director Du, can we hold on?" Qiu Lianfu asked in a low voice. His home has been demolished, but if he still cannot hold on to the embankment, it will be a huge blow to him. "We must hold on." Du Yan's voice was low and powerful, although he knew that such words had no practical significance. In the struggle with nature, human power is so insignificant, and the belief that man can conquer nature or that he can have endless fun fighting with heaven and earth is nothing more than extreme romanticism, or even extreme self-aggrandizement. "But what if?" Mayor Mao hesitated for a moment, but still asked. This section of the embankment was part of his share of the responsibility. If something went wrong on this section, he wouldn't be able to escape. "So we must speed up the organization and prepare to evacuate the masses," Du Yan said with a hint of courage in his voice. "Remember, no matter what happens, the safety of the masses comes first. It doesn't matter if things are gone and the village is flooded. First, we must protect "But Director Du, what if the superiors find out about this?" Mayor Mao asked with a pale face. He knew very well that Du Yan's words were actually a disguised answer to Qiu Lianfu's previous question. When he thought of the tens of millions of tons of sediment that might rush down from the upstream, it might swallow the entire village below in an instant. Mayor Mao, who was already in poor health, could hardly hold on any longer. But Du Yan¡¯s orders also made Mayor Mao uneasy. If something happened, who would bear the responsibility for shaking the morale of the military due to unauthorized evacuation? Seeing Mayor Mao's hesitation, Du Yan turned around and walked into the tent, grabbed a piece of paper from the table and wrote quickly on it, and then handed the paper to Mayor Mao after finishing the process. "This is a certificate written by me, proving that issuing the order was my decision alone. You are only the executors, and I bear the responsibility alone!" "Director Du, what is this?" Mayor Mao's originally pale face looked a little confused. Turning red, "When it's done, it's done. Are you the one who holds the vat and pretends to be a big guy?" Hearing Mayor Mao slip out a swear word when he was anxious, Du Yan smiled slightly. He didn't expect Guo Songlin's subordinates to be like this. cadres, it¡¯s really strange when you think about it carefully. "Director Du, I don't understand your leader's tactics," Qiu Lianfu continued. He was still holding the shovel that demolished his house. This seemed to have become his signature, "I asked someone to find the elders in the village." Help organize everyone to prepare. I will lead people to guard the embankment. Everyone will be fine. If you can't guard it, it will cost you more than 100 pounds!" Du Yan didn't say anything else. He just patted Qiu Lianfu on the shoulder and looked at Qiu Lianfu. Following a few key people onto the embankment, he turned back to Mayor Mao and said: "Lao Mao, don't think it's easy to persuade the people to evacuate. It's hard to leave your homeland. You must do your job as soon as possible, and you can use any means when necessary. Again, the same sentence "Guaranteeing people is more important than anything else, everything else is bullshit!" Hearing that Director Du also uttered foul words, Mayor Mao couldn't help but smile. He said that because of Guo Songlin, he had been somewhat disrespectful to Du Yan before! He had to cope with it, but now seeing Du Yan like this, Mayor Mao couldn't help but have some changes in his mind. People often forget time when they are busy. When it finally got dark, Du Yan stood on the embankment and looked at the torches, oil lamps, and large temporary light bulbs that were lit up and down the embankment. Du Yan couldn't help but look towards this place again. It was already dark, like looking at the wave peaks that opened their terrifying mouths one after another. Except for the necessary few who stayed in the village to help prepare for the evacuation of the villagers, almost all the strong laborers had already gone up the embankment. For most of the day, the continuous carrying of sandbags, rocks, and dismantled beams and timber had already made some people tired. Out of breath. "Er Song, you coward, you just lie down when you're just tired. Stop torturing your wife and stop pretending to be a coward." A cadre kicked a villager in the buttocks who was resting on a stone. The words caused a burst of laughter. ¡°I¡¯m telling you, Sixth Brother, people are about to be evacuated from the village, so what¡¯s the point of us still working hard here.¡± The villager muttered dissatisfiedly. "Fart,"A village cadre raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head. "The evacuation is just in case. If we evacuate people, we will lose our homes or what? The fourth uncle demolished his own house to protect the embankment. Let me tell you Er Song, you kid If you dare to defecate and lose your crotch, don't blame Sixth Brother!" Listening to the bustling shouts of the villagers, Du Yan gradually became extremely calm. He remembered that an experienced cadre who had participated in many flood fights and disaster relief once said that people's passion is most easily aroused when guarding embankments and dams, but precisely because they have already become more energetic, at this time It is also the most difficult to remove people. The embankment needs to be defended, but Du Yan doesn't want to see unnecessary sacrifices. He remembered very clearly that when fighting against the great flood of later generations, there was a gap in the area where the embankment had burst. Although it was obviously unstoppable, the leader ordered to strictly guard against it. In that kind of situation, it was purely political than practical. Under the order, a large number of young soldiers in their prime rushed forward without hesitation! In the end, the gap still collapsed, and those soldiers who were still children paid their lives in vain, but they never appeared on TV. Some only praised and eulogized the great victory of the flood fight over and over again. Du Yan didn¡¯t want to see that kind of scene, at least he didn¡¯t want that kind of tragedy to happen in front of his own eyes. "If you are poor, you can be good for yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world. Don't ask for everything that everyone wants, but ask for something that is worthy of your heart!" Du Yan took a deep breath. At this moment, he saw the lights of two cars flashing from far to near along the road below the river embankment. The car stopped not far away. The people in the car seemed to be asking for directions in the darkness. Then the car continued driving and stopped under the embankment where Du Yan was standing. A man slowly climbed up along the embankment. Looking at the figure, Du Yan couldn't help but frown slightly. "Director Du, you are here." Chu Yilan's voice came in the night. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 94 Night Battle Chu Yilan walked up the embankment along the slippery slope. When she saw Du Yan standing on the embankment looking down at her, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Chu Yilan's face, but she soon regained her previous composure. look. Although Chu Yilan remained calm, Du Yan knew very well that Chu Yilan must be quite dissatisfied with him at this time. Because he had just been transferred to Pingling not long ago, he didn¡¯t know much about the specific situation of Pingling. After the flood control began, Li Peizheng specially arranged for Chu Yilan to be mainly responsible for the logistics support and material transportation of the main berm work, but did not give her specific details. Chu Yilan has done quite well in the section she is responsible for. Since the beginning of the flood season, she has been busy with her own section while coordinating and mobilizing various materials to ensure Xiaoqinghe's flood prevention needs. This allowed some people to see that the former Deputy Secretary-General Chu was not just a pretty vase. Now seeing Chu Yilan walking onto the embankment, although Du Yan knew the purpose of her coming, he still shook hands with her. After getting on the embankment, Chu Yilan couldn't help but look towards the Xiaoqing River outside the embankment. Although she came along the road in the river embankment, she had never taken a close look at the roaring Xiaoqing River. It was completely different from what she had remembered. It looked like a tiger that was about to break out of its cage at any time. Chu Yilan's face couldn't help but change color slightly as Xiao Qinghe was raging. "Director Du, the depression in front needs to be reinforced. Send a few more people to me!" A village cadre rushed over, almost squeezing past Chu Yilan, and ran to Du Yan, begging loudly. "Do you think there are extra people now? At best, I can go over and help!" Du Yan shouted angrily at the cadre, "Find a way to solve it yourself. What do you want to eat? Just tell me whether you can do it or not." I'll go for you!" "Hey!" The scolded village cadre let out a low cry of unknown meaning, turned around and passed by Chu Yilan, running towards the section he was responsible for. . Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan in surprise. In her impression, although Du Yan was different from the official officials, he was also a little slippery. Now looking at Du Yan's angry look, which seemed to be about to explode at any time, Chu Yilan couldn't help but feel a little strange. "County Magistrate Chu, it's very dangerous here now. Why did you come here?" Du Yan turned around and asked Chu Yilan. He was actually a little annoyed by Chu Yilan's appearance. At this time, he didn't want to cause trouble, let alone get into trouble with others. What conflict with each other. "Director Du, the section you are responsible for is a dangerous area. Secretary Li sent me to support you." Chu Yilan said. Seeing the undisguised look of embarrassment on Du Yan's face after hearing her words, Chu Yilan Lan turned around and pointed in the distance, "Almost all the people who can be mobilized have been mobilized. Secretary Li's instructions are to ensure the safety of the embankment." Du Yan looked in the direction of Chu Yilan's finger and saw a team in the distance. The car lights flashed along the road. It must be Chu Yilan who said he was coming to support the team. "County Magistrate Chu, you arrived just in time. Come over here, pick up the supporting comrades, and dispatch the personnel to the embankment immediately!" Du Yan's face became slightly better after giving the order. Whatever the purpose, as long as he can help, this made his view of Chu Yilan somewhat change. In Du Yan's eyes, Chu Yilan is no different from other cadres. Although she is a young and beautiful woman, Du Yan knows that this woman is more of a politician. If anyone thinks that Chu Yilan can be punished just because she is a woman, If she looks at him differently, or takes the struggle with her seriously, then he will only be the one who suffers in the end. Even in Du Yan's opinion, Chu Yilan is more difficult to deal with than Guo Songlin. After all, Guo Songlin somehow knows not to stretch his hands too far, while Chu Yilan relies on her strong background to ignore the rules and even wants to intervene in the new district. It¡¯s just that now, all the contradictions have become insignificant in the face of the raging flood, at least for the time being, no one thinks about these things. "By the way, County Magistrate Chu, I am familiar with the situation here, so I made the arrangements myself." Du Yan wanted to say hello to Chu Yilan again. "That's right. You're the one commanding this section. I'm not familiar with the situation," Chu Yilan said. "And what should I do? Director Du, please tell me. I'm here to support you, not to visit." Affected by the atmosphere, Chu Yilan no longer spoke as usual. Especially when she saw several muddy women climbing up the embankment with baskets piled with stones on poles, Chu Yilan even felt that It's a bit dazzling to stand here like this. Looking at Chu Yilan¡¯s eyes, Du Yan pondered for a moment and nodded. "Then please ask County Magistrate Chu to be responsible for organizing and arranging the transportation of equipment at the temporary headquarters. Now the embankment needs urgent reinforcement to ensure that the materials can be transported to the main road in time."? is a top priority. " Du Yan said, feeling relieved at the same time. Speaking of which, he didn't expect Chu Yilan to be willing to do practical work. He originally thought that the deputy county magistrate Chu might make a speech to encourage everyone to carry forward the spirit of so-and-so and defend bravely. If the speech at home was really like that, no need for the masses to say it was bad, Du Yan might be the first to quarrel with her. Chu Yilan nodded. She knew that she couldn't talk about job rankings at this time, and she had already seen it. It turned out that the situation of the entire embankment was indeed very bad. Looking at the flood that seemed to be coming at any time, Chu Yilan felt the fear of nature that she had never experienced before. City leaders have inspected the flood relief sites many times. However, firstly, the Xiaoqing River has never been in such a severe situation before. Secondly, such inspections are actually more of a formality. Of course, the sections of the river they see are often chosen to be the strongest. Yes, even the flood control personnel interviewed by the leaders are reliable and cautious. After all, anyone with a little experience knows that in such a fierce environment and emotions, it is very likely that someone will be unable to control themselves because of their excitement and say something. It¡¯s embarrassing for everyone. But it¡¯s different now. Whether it¡¯s the busy crowd around him or the terrifying and dangerous Xiao Qinghe in front of him, as well as the usually shrewd and calm man standing in front of him, but now he¡¯s like a pack of gunpowder that¡¯s ready to explode at any time. The young people seemed so strange but full of reality. Chu Yilan said hello to Du Yan and ran down the slope. When she ran down the slope and looked back, she saw Du Yan carrying an empty bag. The basket asked the people next to it to shovel soil into the basket. The weather had been sunny for a while, but it started to rain again in the middle of the night. Although the rain was not heavy, it brought a lot of trouble to the people who were working. . Especially because of the alternating cold and heat for a day and the excessive fatigue, some people have begun to feel uncomfortable. Although the women in the village cooked several pots of ginger soup in large pots, in the second half of the night, some people still started to have fevers and colds. His head was also dizzy, but he knew that at times like this, he had to grit his teeth and persevere, otherwise as long as he wavered slightly, he would affect the people around him who were already showing signs of exhaustion. There was another shout in the distance. Du Yan, who had just leaned on a stone to catch his breath, immediately stood up straight and looked over. "Director, it seems that something floated down from the upper reaches again. Fortunately, it was blocked by the new pile of rocks outside the embankment." After a while, Qiu Lianfu said. He ran over from the direction where the sound came from, and then he lowered his voice slightly and said, "Director, this is the fourth time at night. If this continues like this, our dam is strong enough to be able to bear it." " Du Yan nodded. After entering the second half of the night, more and more debris mixed with various gravels and broken branches floated down from the upper reaches. Even not long ago, a large section of the trunk that had been uprooted actually followed. A row of flood peaks rushed directly over the head of the embankment and fell into the embankment. If someone hadn't seen it and issued a warning in advance, there might have been casualties! Du Yan nodded. He knew that Qiu Lianfu didn't say this because he was afraid. But the facts before us are indeed true. Because the river water caused by the large-scale bank collapse of the Daqing River in the upper reaches has exceeded the highest water level of the Xiaoqing River in the past, and the two banks along the way are relatively higher than the river surface, the Xiaoqing River has never had a place to vent. , Now it seems that the river bend in Qiujiaao has become the first target. "Lian Fu, tell the key personnel who are staying in the village to start sending the elderly and children to a safe place now. Others were also prepared, telling everyone to be steady when doing things and not to cause panic among the masses. "Du Yan ordered in a low voice. "Okay, I understand. " Qiu Lianfu responded and turned around to run. Looking at his back, Du Yan took a deep breath of the moist water vapor in the wind and rain. "As long as we really start to mobilize the masses to evacuate, we will definitely be impressed by the emotions of the people on the embankment. Du Yan knew this very well, and once morale was affected, it would be a question of whether the entire embankment could be saved. But what would happen if the people were not evacuated? Watching the waves keep coming up the embankment in the dark, it seemed like it would be impossible. The Xiaoqing River was about to swallow everything. Looking back at the village completely surrounded by the Heweizi depression, Du Yan couldn't imagine what would happen if there was a real danger. Another big wave hit, and with the top of the wave. After crossing the embankment, the turbid floodwaters rushed down on people's heads instantly! "Bring up the sandbags!" "A cadre was shouting with a flashlight in his hand while running one step deeper and one shallower on the uneven pile of sandbags. Suddenly he stopped and bent down as if to see something clearly, but then suddenly a big wave hit him. Then, as he let out a scream, the sandbags under his feet began to sway into the river embankment under the violent impact of the flood peak. At the same time, large amounts of muddy water flowed down the gaps in the sandbags, and he walked along the river because of this shaking. The embankment rolled directly into the embankment.Come on! "The embankment is broken! The embankment is going to be breached! Come here!" I don't know who shouted first, and then countless shouts immediately rang out. No matter up or down the embankment, people rushed towards the dangerous area like crazy. No matter whether the levee will burst suddenly or whether the flood will swallow them! "Block it! Block it! Bring up the sandbags!" A villager who rushed to the place first yelled and threw a straw bag filled with soil into the river, and then shouted at the top of his lungs to the people behind him, "You are all in trouble!" "Hurry up and get on the sandbags!" "Er Song, you're a big guy, I'm not idle!" Another villager gritted his teeth and pushed a small cart up in front of him, and then he turned it over with all his strength. He threw the cart containing a pile of gravel directly under the river embankment. More people came running after hearing the news, and sandbags were thrown into the river one by one. Some people, like the villager before, had no time to unload the stone sacks on the cart, so they just pushed the cart into the river together. , for a time the entire river embankment was full of people, there were shouts everywhere, and there were waves everywhere caused by the thrown sandbags and stones and the purlin doors and windows tied with heavy objects! Another group of people rushed over, and people gradually formed several lines extending down the river embankment. More and more sandbags and stones were thrown into the river. When a group of villagers rushed over carrying several huge wicker fences, , it immediately caused another call. "Get out of the way, everyone!" A man in front of him yelled and urged the people blocking the road. When they rushed up the embankment, the villager shouted, "The more rocks you tie up, the better! Hurry up!" After hearing the order, people immediately hurriedly tied various heavy objects to the wicker fence. Following the command of the villager, "Listen to my command, one, two, three, throw it away!", the heavy wicker fence moved along the outside of the river embankment. The sloping embankment plunges towards the bottom of the gravel-strewn embankment! "Throw things!" shouted again, and immediately countless dam-blocking objects that could be used were thrown like raindrops into the gaps between the diagonally inserted fences and embankments. Soon, the dams that were originally tilted inward were thrown. The fence gradually stood up due to the increasing pressure, and eventually it even began to bend outwards! When Du Yan arrived, the section of the embankment that had just appeared in danger had been controlled. Seeing the people who were still panting, and some of whom were still mechanically walking on the embankment carrying heavy sandbags, Du Yan was deeply moved. Take a deep breath. This is the power of the masses. At this time, there is no need for any orders, let alone leadership instructions. The most ordinary people will exert their greatest strength because they are protecting their homeland. "Er Song, you're fine, you're okay!" The man who directed the fence thrower walked up to the villager who was the first to rush onto the embankment and patted him hard on the shoulder. "When you're done, come to my house for a drink." "Brother Xiaoquan, that's it. Your wife is so stingy, don't look back. You kneeled on the washboard as soon as I left the house. I'll just let you and the sow sleep at night." Er Song curled his lips, and his words immediately caused laughter all around. At this time, it seemed that if no one said anything. The last dirty joke could not dispel the tension and uneasiness caused by the increasingly violent floods outside the embankment. Du Yan walked to the inside of the embankment and shined a flashlight. He could see that there was still water flowing down the gaps between the piled sandbags, but above his head there were splashing waves caused by the impact of the embankment on the embankment. The river water, but the area just blocked with sandbags has apparently stabilized. "Come here, what's your name?" Du Yan waved to the villager who took the lead in throwing the fence. Seeing the action of the villager running over and his arms hanging down naturally after he stopped, he asked, "Ever been a soldier?" "Report to Du Director, my name is Wan Youquan, and I was just demobilized last year." The villager relaxed and laughed. ¡°Have you participated in flood fighting in the army before?¡± Du Yan asked again. ¡°I have participated twice and achieved third-class merit,¡± Wan Youquan replied with a hint of embarrassment. "Okay, Wan Youquan, you are now the team leader of this section. If you have any experience or methods, please tell everyone. Let's protect the embankment together." After Du Yan said to Wan Youquan, he took a flashlight and walked along the river. Di continued to walk as before. Behind him, the villagers were joking about Wan Youquan and urging him to talk about other solutions quickly. However, no one noticed that a trace of intense light flashed in Du Yan's eyes in the darkness. Deep melancholy. Li Peizheng's previous notice made him feel the seriousness of the situation. If there was only the first bank breach upstream, Du Yan was somewhat sure that he could hold on to the current bank, but the second, larger bank breach made him realize The seriousness of the situation at hand. The danger just now should be just a precursor before the bigger flood peak is coming. When I think of what Li Peizheng said, the big flood peak will reach Pingling by tomorrow morning at the latest., Du Yan's heart felt indescribably heavy. "Director Du, Director Du, Du Yan!" Waves of faint shouts came from the dark slope of the embankment below. Du Yan turned around and saw Chu Yilan's figure appearing far below in the darkness. "Director Du, we just got a call from the county." Chu Yilan finally climbed up the embankment with difficulty. At this time, she was also covered in mud and water. Du Yan noticed that the left shoulder of her clothes was frayed in some places. It should be carrying things. The traces left behind, but what makes Du Yan a little strange is, is it necessary for Chu Yilan to come to him in person for a phone call? "Mayor Ren has arrived in Pingling," Chu Yilan explained to Du Yan next. "Mayor Ren asked about the specific areas of Xiaoqing River where major dangers may occur. He ordered that the safety of the embankment must be ensured no matter what. Let Xiao Qinghe have problems in our Pingling and Taihua section." After hearing what Chu Yilan relayed, this was indeed an instruction with Ren Shuqiang's personality. Du Yan could only nod silently. He knew that this was also true for Cui Jianbin and Ren Shuqiang. There is nothing wrong with that. After all, as long as you can ensure that no large-scale danger occurs within your jurisdiction, you have fulfilled your duty. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the way, and even a little smart people also know that such instructions are often just a formal statement. After all, everyone is happy if nothing happens, but if there is an accident, they can be regarded as having adequate supervision before. Du Yan was somewhat disdainful that Ren Shuqiang was still playing these official tricks at this time. Although perhaps because he was far away, he did not have personal experience of the huge floods he might face, so he could not empathize with them, but at this time he still did not Forgetting to use some tricks and trying to shirk responsibility, Du Yan felt that although Ren Shuqiang was quite skillful in seizing power, he was not very grand after all. Although it was dark, Chu Yilan could also see the disapproving look on Du Yan's face after hearing her words. Perhaps it was due to the influence of such an extreme environment, and she was not satisfied with Du Yan's somewhat uncharacteristic appearance and behavior. Sexy, but Chu Yilan didn't think there was anything wrong. Ren Shuqiang came to Pingling to express his position and give instructions. Although this was a necessary scene, it was just that he might feel something different from usual when he was really there. When the danger just happened, Chu Yilan also followed him carrying a load of sand. When the sacks were being transported to the embankment, she felt an excitement that she had not felt for a long time and seemed to have been forgotten long ago. "Director, director" Mayor Mao climbed up the embankment with the help of a villager. When he saw Chu Yilan, he couldn't help but be startled. A feeling of uneasiness passed through his heart. At the same time, he didn't know where to start and asked Du Yan. Look. Although Mayor Mao tried his best to hide it, Chu Yilan still saw some clues, which made her feel a little strange. Mayor Mao was from Guo Songlin. She had known this for a long time, but now it looked like there was a relationship between old Mao and Duyan. There's something fishy about it. "What's the matter?" Du Yan didn't think too much. At this time, all he could think about was how to save the lives of hundreds of people in Qiujia'ao and the dam. "The village is almost ready," seeing that Du Yan was not shy, Mayor Mao quickly replied, "There are just a few elderly people who really don't want to leave, so the militiamen have no choice but to use some means." "As long as people can leave. That's fine." Du Yan nodded. Although he is an old man, country people have strong bodies and are juniors in their own clan. It is not a big problem to use a little trick. "Director Du, what are you doing?" Chu Yilan asked in shock. She had heard before that someone in the village was organizing the villagers to prepare for transfer, but she originally thought that this was just Du Yan's way to appease the villagers, or if necessary, When a large amount of materials are needed, demolition of the house will not be obstructed by the villagers¡¯ families. But now it seems that Du Yan really wants to evacuate the villagers of Qiujia'ao from the village, and Chu Yilan knows what this means. "The damage that this flood may cause is unexpected, and we must be prepared for the worst." Du Yan did not want to hide this matter from Chu Yilan. After all, it not only affects the lives of hundreds of people in Qiujia'ao. , is also related to the entire Pingling flood relief arrangements. "I have contacted the local garrison. If necessary, all villagers will be evacuated and a flood discharge embankment will be formed in Qiujiaao section." "You, you are really" Chu Yilan wanted to say "crazy" but then realized she was losing her temper, but she still looked at Du Yan like a madman, "Your duty is to guard the embankment. Do you know the consequences if you make a decision without permission?" "I know. ." Du Yan answered simply and clearly. In the case of large-scale flood disasters over the years, unless it is to ensure the safety of large cities such as the capital, Donghai or provincial capitals and some important national facilities, it is allowed to sacrifice part of the villages and land for flood discharge, otherwise it is not allowed. Abandoning flood control facilities without authorization anywhere. Although seriously speaking, in order to protect the countryThere is no substantial difference between the act of releasing floods and the unauthorized release of floods by local governments, but everyone knows that if a local leader really makes such a decision, then he will become the best way to use the anger of the people in a special period. Sacrifice. Because of this, no one dares to decide to retreat without authorization, even if they would rather drive the entire village onto the embankment. Otherwise, no matter what the reason is, a tragic end awaits him. Therefore, the so-called vow to live and die with the embankment is not as great and glorious as it sounds. It also contains helplessness and no retreat. "Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?" Chu Yilan's face turned pale. She didn't expect Du Yan to have such an idea. When she thought that she happened to be with him, Chu Yilan felt that she was really He was so unlucky. "Do you know this is going to kill your head?!" "I know." Du Yan still said the same thing. What he was thinking about at this time was not at all what Chu Yilan said. He raised his hand to look at his watch. He couldn't help but feel slightly anxious. But he then said to Chu Yilan: "Mr. Chu, you are here to support me. I don't think it's appropriate to stay. I happened to have contacted the local garrison and they will send some vehicles to pick up Qiujia'ao." Villager, do you think you can help us greet him?" Chu Yilan was slightly stunned. She knew that Du Yan's words actually gave her an excuse to leave. In this way, even if something went wrong in the future, she would be fine. Responsibility, after all, it is Du Yan who is in charge of this section of the levee, but if he stays, as the executive deputy county magistrate, he will be jointly and severally liable regardless of the situation at the time. At this moment, Chu Yilan felt that she really couldn't figure out what the person in front of her was thinking. Speaking of which, when she received a call from her father Chu Ping, he gently warned her not to be too impatient and reminded her to make peace with Du Yan. After talking about the location of her chemical plant, Chu Yilan really had the urge to get angry. She never expected that Du Yan would actually file a complaint against her father, which made her feel angry and funny. But then she heard Chu Ping say casually that some of the news about Pingling came from the deputy provincial governor. When Chang Yang Weiquan heard this, Chu Yilan immediately calmed down. Because of the location issue of a chemical plant, Du Yan actually ignored the rules and took the matter to Yang Weiquan! This made Chu Yilan immediately realize that Du Yan was not just doing this for such a simple thing. "Obviously, Du Yan's intention was not to drink. Although he was trying to warn her not to interfere with his little piece of land, there might be some other purpose that she didn't understand yet. Although she couldn't see her father's expression, Chu Yilan could still feel what Chu Ping's calm voice seemed to contain from the phone. Obviously, for some reason, Yang Weiquan seemed to have exerted influence on his father. This made Chu Yilan feel surprised that Du Yan actually had such a complicated relationship, and at the same time, she was filled with anger. But now Du Yan's actions made her feel that this annoying guy didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards her. At least this time he gave her a chance to stay out of it. Chu Yilan looked at Lao Mao standing next to her. She knew that if she walked down the embankment at this time, she might feel unable to hold her head up even when facing grassroots cadres like Lao Mao. This made her She wanted to blurt out a request to stay, but years of family influence made Chu Yilan quickly calm down from her impulse. "Then I'll pick up the car first." Chu Yilan gritted her teeth and nodded to Du Yan, then turned and walked down the embankment. She could feel Lao Mao's eyes from behind, but she didn't look back because she didn't know Once I look back, will I still insist on leaving? "Lao Mao, I'm too tired in the second half of the night. Let's wake everyone up. Maybe it depends on whether we live or die in the last few hours." Du Yan did not look back, but kept staring at the dark and scary river. "Okay director," Lao Mao and Du Yan, whose names had changed slightly at some point, stood side by side on the embankment and looked at the river. Then he suddenly said, "Director, it's worth it to work with you." Listening to Lao Mao Du Yan just smiled softly at these words that made people ponder. After today, maybe everything will return to its original state, and maybe it will be the last time for him to relive his life and become an official. But even so, so what, I just want to be clear in my heart. Chu Yilan hurriedly entered the village. In order not to hinder the work on the embankment, her car was parked at the entrance of the village on the other side of Chenjiaao. When she passed through the village, she looked at the people who were urging the militiamen to carry bags. As the villagers holding cages walked towards the village entrance, Chu Yilan's heart couldn't help but become heavy. Because of geographical reasons, Taihua has not encountered much threat of floods in the past years. Because of this, whether it is the city or Pingling, although??Every year when the flood season comes, they do not slack off, but many cadres actually have a weak idea of ??what kind of dangers they may face. Even when they heard that two large-scale bank collapses occurred in the upper reaches of the Daqing River, although people were aware of the seriousness of the problem, they still had a vague impression of the impending disaster. Only when they are truly immersed in the situation can they truly stand. When we are facing the flood directly and may be swallowed up by the huge flood peak at any time, we can feel the overwhelming destructive power and terrible situation when nature is angry! Chu Yilan was thinking wildly. She rushed to the car and called the driver. However, after seeing a few old people with children not far away, she ordered them to be taken with them. "Drive forward along the river embankment road," Chu Yilan told the driver who was about to drive out behind the village, "Let's go meet the supporting troops." The car drove forward along the river embankment highway, and a On the road, you could see vague figures running back and forth on the dark embankment. Chu Yilan felt very complicated at this time. Although she knew that her decision was not wrong, an indescribable depression made her unable to let it go. Get rid of the depression in your heart. Several dazzling lights suddenly came from the distance, and then more and more lights appeared one after another. "County magistrate, it may be the army's car." Noticing that Chu Yilan seemed to be thinking about something, the driver reminded him in a low voice. "Yeah," Chu Yilan responded. She stuck her head out of the car window and looked at the car getting closer and closer. Her mood became slightly better. A string of military vehicles on the opposite side stopped at Chu Yilan¡¯s signal. Seeing the familiar military green color, the several old men on board immediately shouted with joy. When she saw an officer jumping out of the car, Chu Yilan was stunned for a moment, and then her heart couldn't help but move. "County Chief Chu." Zhao Youxun recognized Chu Yilan first. "Team Zhao," Chu Yilan was secretly wondering. She originally thought that these troops should be just the local garrison in Duyan New District, but after seeing Zhao Youxun, Chu Yilan couldn't help but have more thoughts in her heart. Although she had no idea where Zhao Youxun was. She didn't know the situation of the troops, but she knew that Zhao Youxun was the chief officer of the local troops. Now seeing Zhao Youxun leading the troops in person, Chu Yilan secretly wondered when Du Yan had such a good relationship with the local troops. Already? What made Chu Yilan pay more attention was that she had heard about the origin of Brigade Zhao. How could Du Yan actually let this person take action in person? "County Chief Chu, I won't delay." After listening to Chu Yilan's brief introduction, Zhao Youxun immediately ordered the convoy to continue setting off. "County Chief Chu, you also know the regulations on troop mobilization. The ones coming out this time are our bus squad. There are few cars and few people, so I have to rush over and evacuate the people in batches to a safe area." Zhao Youxun waved his hand before Chu Yilan could answer. As the sharp horn sounded, the motorcade immediately headed in the direction of Qiujia'ao. Drive away. "County magistrate, what should we do?" The driver asked in a low voice when he saw Chu Yilan looking in the direction of the motorcade. "Let's" Chu Yilan hesitated slightly, for some reason she felt like she couldn't speak. At this moment, a low and terrifying booming sound, like coming from the depths of hell, suddenly came from the Xiaoqing River in the distance. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 95: The embankment breaks! When the flood peak appeared, Du Yan was discussing with several cadres how to protect the levee next. The sudden and terrifying muffled sound made everyone stunned. People looked towards the embankment, as if a terrifying behemoth would emerge from behind the dark embankment. "No, hurry up the embankment!" Qiu Lianfu was the first to react. He reached out and grabbed the shovel that never left his hand, and ran towards the embankment like crazy. At the same time, others also realized that something terrible might have happened. Things happened, and several people ran towards the embankment together. "Director Du, wait!" Mayor Mao, who was coughing as he ran, shouted to Du Yan in front of him. He took a few steps as quickly as possible and then grabbed Du Yan's shoulder. "Director Du, I have something to say." "Say. What, hurry up and get on the embankment!" Du Yan angrily tried to shake off Mayor Mao, but he didn't expect that his hand was very tight and he didn't let go. ¡°Director, you stay back so that if anything happens you can direct everyone to retreat.¡± Mayor Mao gasped, his face was pale and he was out of breath even as he spoke. "Lao Mao, it's already this time, how can I not go up?" Du Yan pressed Mayor Mao's hand that was holding his sleeve. He knew that Mayor Mao also had good intentions, but as he said, when the time comes, At this time, there was no room for him to retreat. After saying this, Du Yan shouted, "Get on the embankment!" The terrifying dull sound was getting closer and closer, as if a demonic dragon emerged from the ground. This sound alarmed everyone. The villagers who ran out of the village looked at the high embankment in the distance in fear. Du Yan, who rushed up the embankment, looked at the layers of black shadows that kept rising and pressing down in the distance under the faint light of dawn. They were the tops of the waves set off by the flood peak. From here, it looked like thousands of heads were moving forward. A charging monster! "Steady! Steady!" Du Yan shouted to the villagers who were hurriedly pushing loads of gravel onto the embankment. He saw Wan Youquan, the group leader he had temporarily promoted, holding an oil lamp and a few Strong villagers were running on the embankment holding large temporary woven hemp rope nets, while more people were staring at the approaching flood peak, just like on the ancient battlefield, ready to meet the oncoming enemy at any time. Cavalry warrior! "Here we come!" A slightly shrill voice sounded. It was a child of 17 or 18 years old. A middle-aged man who looked vaguely similar to him held his arm tightly, and he was facing the overwhelming flood peak at the front. When the wave hit him, the father-in-law held his son in his arms, and at the same time, he squatted down and used his back to face the oncoming wave! "Clear the embankment!" Wan Youquan's shout sounded in the distance. Following his order, several strong villagers immediately threw the large hemp rope net with stones that had been prepared long ago toward the stones outside the embankment. The so-called clearing embankment refers to the sandbags and stones that are dropped into areas where danger may occur before they are as stable as possible. Due to the huge power of the flood peak, once the stones in such places are lifted up and loosened by the waves, these materials were originally used to protect the embankment. Whether it is the embankment or the people on the embankment, it is likely to become the most terrifying threat in an instant. Du Yan was running forward with a sack on his shoulders. Something sharp seemed to be stuck in the shoes under his feet. Every step he took was painful, but he couldn't care about it anymore. He couldn't stop either. At this time, The entire embankment has turned into an unstoppable torrent rolling and surging like the violent waves below. And the two torrents collided together on this embankment! The waves are getting bigger and bigger, and the sediment mixed in them is mixed with more and more debris from the upstream and is impacting towards the dam. A black thing floated down from the far upstream. Following a huge wave, the thing twisted in the air and rushed toward the embankment. A villager was hit by the thing before he could dodge. , rolled backwards down the embankment with a cry! "Come on, come on, the fourth generation has fallen!" The companion next to him immediately shouted. When he saw that the villager who fell down the embankment was immediately picked up by two people, the villager had time to look back and take a look at the unknown mass. Then his expression changed and he raised his leg and kicked it. It was a dead pig that had been soaked so bloated that it was almost unrecognizable. The sky was already bright and bright at this time, but the situation was getting worse and worse. Looking at the rolling floods, Du Yan bit his lip tightly. He didn't know how long he could hold on, but he also knew that if he hesitated a little at this time, The consequences would be disastrous. Suddenly, it seemed that the crazy and terrifying waves below slowed down slightly. With the bursts of frightened shouts from the embankment, Du Yan followed the people's gestures and saw what he had least expected to see! The whole piece of wreckage was connected by the roots of several big trees, so it never disintegrated. It moved with a slow but obviously unstoppable momentum.?Floating down the river, it was precisely because of the blockage of this large piece of sand and tree trunks that the water flow in front stopped slightly, but behind this pile of debris, a bigger wave was coming overwhelmingly! "It's time," Du Yan thought. He realized that the biggest crisis he was facing had arrived. He threw down the sack on his shoulder and ran along the river embankment. "Be safe! Be safe!" Du Yan shouted to people passing by while running. Everyone involuntarily bent over and squatted down, and some grabbed hold of things around them that could stabilize their bodies. Countless pairs of eyes stared at the approaching monster. First, it hit the gravel and the fence under the river embankment, and then continued to roll forward. At that moment, the huge and dull sound even overwhelmed all the sounds around it, so that some people felt that they could not hear anything at that moment. It was actually very quiet. Immediately, people standing under the embankment saw that the half-height of the embankment seemed to be a balloon that had been fully inflated and then immediately filled up. It first inflated outwards and then collapsed inwards. Then, large waves of floods burst out from the cracked cracks in the dam in an instant! "The embankment breaks!" roared, and the shouts on the embankment immediately shook the sky! The flood surged toward the village along the opened hole, and the villagers who rushed up threw everything they could at the opened hole! Stone, wood, doors, windows, and even furniture! Everything that could be thrown was thrown down, but the gap was still widening, and even the parts of the gap that were still barely able to support began to loosen and disintegrate with the flood! "Master!" Qiu Lianfu let out a deep roar. He threw off his coat, shirtless and shouted to the people around him, "If you are blocked today, I will buy you a drink! If you can't be blocked, everyone will leave here! Give it a try!" As he stretched out his two arms, the villagers in Qiujia'ao all tied their arms together, and a group of people rushed towards the gap! People were struggling and shouting in the flood, their arms tightly tied together. Whenever someone was about to fall because of exhaustion, the people next to him would pull him up with force. At the same time, on the embankment, people still kept throwing various things into the gap, trying to block the gap. But floods are terrible, and the power of nature is even more irresistible. Being hit by the huge force, Qiu Lianfu felt that all the strength in his body was gone. He opened his mouth to take a breath, but was immediately filled with muddy muddy water. He couldn't help coughing, and just when he felt that he couldn't hold on any longer, flashing lights in the distance pierced his already painful eyes. I don¡¯t know who cheered first, and then the cheers echoed one after another on the embankment! Two military vehicles drove upstream along the embankment road that was about to be flooded. Before the vehicles could stop, Zhao Youxun had already jumped out of the vehicle in front. He rushed up the embankment in a few steps, not caring to say hello to the villagers who shouted for joy or even cried after seeing him. Instead, he rushed to the gap and looked down. When he saw the crowd below, they were tightly blocking the gap. When meeting the villagers, Zhao Youxun turned to the villagers next to him and asked loudly: "Who of you is in charge?" "It's me who is reporting to the leader!" Wan Youquan responded loudly. "Call your men and push the car up the embankment with me!" Zhao Youxun didn't say a single extra word. He rushed down the embankment and then ordered the driver in the car, "Turn the steering wheel and get on the embankment!" Although I don't know what Zhao Youxun is going to do, but the nature of obeying authority has played a role at this time. What's more, the prestige the army has established among the masses over the years has made people more willing to believe in the role of soldiers at this moment. Amid waves of calls, the military vehicle was almost pushed onto the embankment. Then, under the command of Zhao Youxun, the crowd slowly pushed the vehicle toward the gap. "Captain, you will be punished for destroying military vehicles!" the driver said to Zhao Youxun uneasily. "Fart, what's the use of having a car when there's no one around!" Zhao Youxun opened his mouth to curse, but at the same time he was secretly thinking, if something happened to Du Yan here, I really don't know how to explain it to his sister. With a neat shout, the huge military vehicle fell directly towards the gap. With a huge splash, the flood that was pouring into the village immediately slowed down! A burst of cheers erupted from the embankment, and at the same time, more sandbags and stones were thrown towards the gaps of the leaning military vehicles blocking the gap like raindrops. "Where is Du Yan?" Only then did Zhao Youxun ask loudly. "Director Du is on the opposite side." Wan Youquan pointed to the shadowy place opposite the gap. "Find him immediately." Zhao Youxun ran down the embankment again, walking towards the opposite side through the muddy water. Zhao Youxun found it quicklyLooking at Du Yan, who was covered in mud and could not even be recognized if someone else hadn't called him out, Zhao Youxun chuckled at first, and then pulled Du Yan to the side with a stern expression. "Don't tell me anything else, listen to me first," Zhao Youxun lowered his voice. "I went to the village to evacuate the villagers just now, and now they have almost evacuated. Let me tell you, this flood may be worse than you think. ," At this point, Zhao Youxun's voice became even lower, "There is news that the relevant leaders have given instructions to sacrifice part of the situation to protect the overall situation when necessary. You must be mentally prepared." After hearing Zhao Youxun's words, Du Yan's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the person who would give such instructions must be a higher-level figure, and he had to admit that there was nothing wrong with making such a decision. After all, from the overall perspective, such a sacrifice was helpless. "What are you going to do?" Zhao Youxun asked again. "Brother Zhao, I am just a small cadre in the county," Du Yan looked at Zhao Youxun, "Whether you say I don't care about the overall situation or that I am short-sighted, what I want to ensure is the safety of hundreds of villagers in Qiujia'ao and the safety of the new area behind. Let the leaders think about it. "" Think about it, this is no joke." Zhao Youxun warned again. Seeing Du Yan silently nodding, Zhao Youxun suddenly smacked his lips, "I'm also surprised, what's wrong with my sister? "I just fall in love with a worthless thing like you." "Brother Zhao, maybe Xiaoyun fell in love with me because I don't have that kind of future," Du Yan chuckled, but thought to himself, "If you knew what your sister was doing. You got involved with me because of something. You probably threw me off the embankment right away." "Then be prepared," Zhao Youxun looked back at Xiao Qinghe, "Xiao Qinghe is really serious this time. "It's on fire." Du Yan nodded. Originally, the lack of vegetation in the inland provinces was a huge threat, and the uncontrolled logging over the years has only contributed to the harsh environment. Now, it is suddenly under the influence of nature. Crazy revenge. "By the way," Zhao Youxun suddenly looked at Du Yan with strange eyes, "What happened to your Deputy County Magistrate Chu? I met her halfway. She was going to leave. But why did she come back? ?" "Chu Yilan is back again?" Du Yan asked strangely. "You don't know?" Zhao Youxun looked at Du Yan with a sideways look. "She followed my motorcade back to the village and helped evacuate the people. Tell me what's going on?" After hearing what Zhao Youxun said, Du Yan At first she felt a little strange, but then a smile appeared on her face: "It's okay, that's how people are. When something happens, you only ask yourself what to do." Chu Yilan dragged her tired body slowly along the streets of the village, At this time, the entire Qiujiaao was deserted. The villagers were reluctant to evacuate at first. Although the cadres had explained more than once that they were not far away and would at best evacuate to nearby highlands as a precaution, many people still wanted to wait and see. But when Zhao Youxun¡¯s motorcade entered the village, the villagers realized the seriousness of the situation, because after all, if something serious had not happened, the troops would not be dispatched easily. Chu Yilan did not leave in the end. She followed Zhao Youxun's motorcade into the village, and then worked with the village cadres to organize the evacuation of the people. Seeing those cadres first blushing in anger, and then some simply dragging some stubborn villagers into the car, Chu Yilan wanted to stop them at first, but then she gave up the idea. At this time, Chu Yilan has realized that the trick in the agency is not feasible at this time, especially with the first wave after the embankment broke. Although it was not big, it was quite thrilling. After the flood rushed into the village, Chu Yilan finally understood Du Yan's previous painstaking efforts. In Chu Yilan's impression, whenever a dangerous disaster occurs, the orders issued by leaders are always "to ensure the safety of national property and the lives of the people." This has almost become a formality in the instructions of leaders at all levels over the years, and even Even she herself once wrote this kind of eight-legged draft. State property seems to always take precedence over the people's lives and safety. As long as the state property is preserved, it will be regarded as completing the tasks assigned by the leadership But now, Chu Yilan discovered that Du Yan had broken this official practice for many years and seemed to be In Du Yan's eyes, nothing is more important than people, and nothing is more important than human life. For this, he can even give up his own future. "This little hooligan." Chu Yilan muttered inadvertently, and then a gust of cool wind blew by, which made her feel an indescribable headache. Caught a cold? Chu Yilan was thinking in her mind as she struggled to walk towards the entrance of the village. The mud under her feet seemed to be sinking in if she didn't take a step, and it seemed so difficult to walk.   Du Yan¡¯s temporary headquarters is located in front of a wooden house between the village and the dam. The house was originally a place where villagers herded cattle. Several large wooden troughs were placed in the corners. Chu Yilan looked at In her eyes, these troughs reminded her of the comfortable big bed at home. Chu Yilan has never missed her big bed so much. ¡°Lie down for a little while, just a little while. Chu Yilan thought so, she walked to a seemingly large trough in the corner against the wall, then turned around and leaned on the edge, sat down on the trough with a little force, then fell in and closed her eyes. . Du Yan was woken up by a burst of tightness in his chest. He felt very uncomfortable, or maybe it was too uncomfortable to be pressed. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Du Yan chose the largest trough and lay down in it, and then fell asleep within a minute. But for some reason, he felt that not long after he closed his eyes, he felt an indescribable sound coming from his chest. The pressure woke me up. Du Yan felt that his eyelids were heavy, but he still opened his eyes with difficulty, and then he saw a head of hair covered with mud appearing in front of his eyes. "Hey, wake up, go to sleep somewhere else," Du Yan raised his hand and pushed the man who was sleeping soundly on his body, but this man was obviously very sleepy, and he just let out a snort from his nose. After making a sound, he rubbed his body back and forth and still didn't wake up. But after a while, Du Yan felt that something was wrong. Because it was summer, the thin clothes made the soft friction on his chest even more obvious, and the slightly hot but unusually light body pressing on him was obviously different from that of a tall and thick man. Du Yan slowly reached out his hand and lifted up the hair covering his face. When he saw Chu Yilan's abnormally flushed cheeks, Du Yan was stunned for a moment, and then secretly shouted in his heart, "Oops." Du Yan knew from the blush on his body and face that Chu Yilan was obviously ill. ¡°In fact, not to mention urban women like Chu Yilan who have been in the government for a long time, even those strong villagers have had to withdraw from the embankment due to physical discomfort. But now looking at Chu Yilan's half-asleep and half-conscious look, Du Yan felt a little embarrassed. You must not let others see you like this. Otherwise, not to mention it will cause a sensation in Pingling Taihua and even Hexi Province. Even Zhao Youxun who is not far away is enough to make Du Yan drink a pot! It's one thing not to want his sister to mix with Du Yan, but it's another thing to see Du Yan involved with another woman. This is because Zhao Youxun seemed to have some doubts about Chu Yilan's return just now. You can tell. "County Chief Chu, County Chief Chu." Du Yan whispered. He hoped that Chu Yilan would wake up immediately. Although this would inevitably embarrass both of them, it would at least be better than letting others see. Who is so annoying? Chu Yilan, who felt a headache that seemed to split open, twisted her neck to make herself lie down more comfortably. Speaking of which, her own big bed was more comfortable. Although her body hurt and she was still a little cold, The big bed under me was extremely warm. Another faint call sounded in her ears, and Chu Yilan finally woke up slowly. She stretched out her hand to press the big bed that seemed to be shaking slightly, but when she opened her eyes with difficulty, her beautiful little mouth Can't help but open it up! Seeing Chu Yilan like this, Du Yan's first reaction was, "We must never let her cry out!" So without thinking, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on Chu Yilan's lips! Chu Yilan was immediately frightened by Du Yan's action. She looked at Du Yan at a loss for a moment, but then she woke up and struggled hard. "Be quiet, don't move," Du Yan scolded in a low voice. Most women are impulsive and irrational at this time. If she starts shouting, everyone will be in trouble. But at this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the shed. Chu Yilan's face couldn't help but change drastically. She was about to get up, but Du Yan, who had guessed what she was going to do in advance, grabbed her slender waist with his other hand and pulled her back into his arms. "Don't make a sound." Du Yan whispered to Chu Yilan, whose expression suddenly changed. Women's brains are always hard to use at times like this. Du Yan could imagine what would happen next if he was a little slower. matter. Like Chu Yilan, Du Yan chose this trough as a bed firstly because it was big enough and comfortable to lie on, and secondly because it was in a remote location and would not be disturbed. This was originally a good thing, but no one expected that it would turn out to be the case in the end. Become like this?look. The few people outside had obviously just come off the embankment to rest, so a few villagers just sat outside smoking and chatting. However, the two people inside did not dare to move for fear of being overheard. . Chu Yilan gritted her teeth secretly. She didn't expect to encounter such a thing. If it weren't for being too tired and feeling uncomfortable before, she wouldn't have been so confused that she didn't even notice that there was someone in the trough. Now She was lying on Du Yan's body. Because she was afraid of being seen by people outside, she had to lower her body as low as possible to stay close to the little gangster. Because of the excessive force just now, Chu Yilan's head drooped heavily when her body fell. The back of Du Yan's hand covering her mouth directly touched his lips. When this happened, the two people's faces were completely separated only by Du Yan. His hands were pressed together closely, and seeing the strange expression on Du Yan's face right in front of him, Chu Yilan really wanted to die. Feeling Chu Yilan's eyes glaring at him fiercely, Du Yan's hand around Chu Yilan's waist had just released, but he felt Chu Yilan's body move, and he immediately involuntarily used a little force to pull her in again. In arms. The two people¡¯s chests and abdomens immediately pressed together, and their thin summer clothes clung to their bodies because of the moisture. For a moment, the hot breath wrapped the two bodies together. A trace of sweat appeared on Chu Yilan's face. She could feel the uneasy heat coming from the man beneath her. What was worse was that when she twisted slightly to avoid this embarrassment, , but it seemed to arouse another reaction from the man beneath her that was more embarrassing or even fearful. Du Yan¡¯s legs were slightly spread apart, so that Chu Yilan¡¯s lower body, which had been completely lying on top of him, was lying in the trough. This was originally Du Yan's intention to lower Chu Yilan's body so that no one outside would see it, but as Chu Yilan twisted, the seductive feeling of heat came from underneath her body. Du Yan's body couldn't help but become sensitive. Chu Yilan also immediately felt some kind of change that frightened her. She immediately stopped and did not dare to move. But then, her soft belly immediately felt the existence of something terrible! Even though she hasn¡¯t had a boyfriend yet, Chu Yilan is not a little girl who doesn¡¯t understand anything after all. She immediately knew what was under her belly! Chu Yilan opened her eyes wide and looked at Du Yan in astonishment. She never expected that Du Yan would have such bad thoughts at this time. For a moment, her face turned red and her body trembled. First there was anger in her eyes, and then she said Unexplained grievances and grief. Seeing the look in Chu Yilan's eyes, Du Yan felt really guilty and wronged. It would be impossible for any man to remain indifferent with a beauty like Chu Yilan in his arms, not to mention the lethality of her twisting just now was beyond her imagination. If there was no reaction after that, it was time to take another turn. Du Yan was worried about himself. "Uncle, do you think this embankment can be held?" A slightly childish voice came at this time. "Let's see if God is merciful," a helpless voice sighed, "Zhuzhu, you're doing well. If something goes wrong, run away immediately. You're a one-passer. If you're vague, I'll be sorry for you, the old Ju family, you know?" " "Uncle, you don't know, don't look at Zhuzi, he has already thought about it. Last night he stared at the virtue of County Magistrate Chu's butt, and he almost put his eyes on those two pieces of flesh. " The villagers' words immediately caused a burst of laughter, and then a group of people started talking about Chu Yilan. She never expected that the topic would suddenly turn to herself. Chu Yilan, who was staring at Du Yan with big eyes, suddenly turned red on her face. She never expected that these villagers would dare to orchestrate her behind her back. Listening to the increasingly outrageous comments, Chu Yilan couldn't help but feel angry. The villagers finally packed up and left, but Chu Yilan was angry that Du Yan actually started to be dishonest at this time. She felt that although Du Yan's hand moved away from her mouth, it actually moved between the two bodies. This made Chu Yilan furious. Just when she was about to stand up desperately, Du Yan hugged her tightly. The hand on his back suddenly tightened. "Don't move." Du Yan whispered, his face turned to one side, his ears pressed against the trough. " Then Du Yan's expression suddenly changed. At this moment, Chu Yilan also heard a dull roar that she had never heard before. Du Yan desperately hugged Chu Yilan and sat up directly. He pushed Chu Yilan to the side, jumped out of the trough and ran out! Looking at it from a distance, you can feel that the entire embankment is shaking! "Go back!" Du Yan turned back to Chu Yilan who had just arrived at the door of the house.??Roared. Then, with an earth-shattering roar, he saw the horrified look in Chu Yilan's eyes as she looked behind him! The levee has broken! In an instant, the flood that burst the embankment poured down from the previously blocked gap with overwhelming force! The terrifying power of nature was fully demonstrated at this moment. In the face of thousands of tons of huge waves and floods, no force can compete with it! Du Yan had just turned around and rushed to Chu Yilan, but the flood was already coming! "Du Yan!" Chu Yilan only had time to scream, before she was pushed into the house by Du Yan, and then the flood swallowed the entire house instantly! Volume 4 "Volume 3: The Official Sail" Chapter 96 After the Disappearance When Du Yan pounced on Chu Yilan, he could even feel the huge momentum of the water behind him squeezing him earlier! He almost flew up and threw Chu Yilan into the huge trough. Before he could feel the pain of their bodies colliding together, the flood behind him instantly lifted up the entire empty frame house! The trough was spinning rapidly in the water, and the wreckage of the empty house that had been completely destroyed by the flood was thrown in all directions. Du Yan pressed tightly on Chu Yilan and buried his head low. There was a turbulent wave all around, and as Chu Yilan Lan's exclamation, Du Yan first felt a darkness in his head, and then with a sharp pain on his back, he fainted instantly! When the news of the breach of the Qiujiaao embankment reached the county, Li Peizheng was leading people to inspect the banks of the Xiaoqing River in the county. When he heard the news, Li Peizheng's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly led people back to the county party committee compound. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the compound, he met Guo Songlin, who was commanding several vehicles filled with various flood-fighting supplies and commanding a convoy. As he was about to rush to Qiujia'ao, Li Peizheng immediately went up to discuss countermeasures with Guo Songlin. Guo Songlin's face was gloomy. He heard the news earlier than Li Peizheng, so he had sent people to Qiujia'ao in advance to support him. But now he looked at Li Peizheng, and he was waiting for Li Peizheng to speak. "Du Yan has an unshirkable responsibility," Li Peizheng said fiercely. At this time, no one can get rid of the responsibility. Whoever gets into trouble will be responsible. "I will go to Qiujia'ao in person now. Lao Guo You should worry more about the situation at hand." Guo Songlin nodded silently. He had a slightly gloomy personality. Unlike Ren Shuqiang, he would not show it immediately even if he did have the upper hand. At this time, Li Peizheng had no time to think about what Guo Songlin was thinking. He got into the car anxiously and directed the convoy to drive towards Qiujia'ao. Li Peizheng frowned along the way. When he was alone, he began to think about the possible impact of this incident. ¡°In fact, both Li Peizheng and Guo Songlin knew very well that danger in Qiujia¡¯ao was almost inevitable. Since a large-scale bank breach occurred in the upper reaches of the Daqing River, in order to ensure the safety of Ningcheng, the capital of Ganning Province, and in accordance with instructions from superiors, two reservoirs along the way have been ordered to release floodwaters. It was precisely because of this that Li Peizheng hinted to Du Yan to be careful during the phone call the day before. In fact, when he said this, Li Peizheng felt a little guilty. He was the one who assigned the left-behind river section to Du Yan. Now that he thinks about it, , by doing so, he undoubtedly ruined Du Yan's future with his own hands. The terrain of Qiujia'ao is low-lying, like a small basin. At least people don't worry that the floods from the bursting of the embankments will rush towards the county seat immediately. However, the safety of hundreds of villagers in Qiujia'ao has become the most worrying thing. Li Peizheng even felt his scalp numb when he thought of the casualties that would occur after the levee breached. "Don't talk about others, maybe I, as the county party committee secretary, will be done with it," Li Peizheng secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. In fact, when they heard about the release of water from upstream, he and Guo Songlin already knew that they might not be able to escape this disaster, but they suddenly They hadn't thought too much when they heard the news of the dam break. Now that they had calmed down a little, Li Peizheng couldn't help but worry about his future fate. But there is no use even worrying. Li Peizheng told himself that he must calm down as soon as possible. Maybe he will soon face a terrible scene after a disaster, with countless families destroyed and people killed. "Xiao Chen, remember, don't be impulsive no matter what happens for a while," Li Peizheng suddenly told his secretary Xiao Chen and the driver who were sitting in the front passenger seat, "I will also inform the comrades from the County Public Security Bureau who came with me, if Whenever a crowd behaves excessively and refuses to fight back or retaliate, whoever causes a conflict with the crowd and triggers a bigger incident due to lack of calmness will be held politically responsible! " "Secretary, why don't you go there first?" Xiao Chen said worriedly, "I'll go, I'll go for you." Seeing Xiao Chen's anxious look, Li Peizheng's cheeks twitched slightly, showing a hard smile, "How can I, the county party committee secretary, not step forward at this time?" "Where is County Magistrate Guo? Why didn't County Magistrate Guo come?" Xiao Chen was a little excited. He even called out Guo Songlin's name without hesitation. "Why must you go to such a thing? Why doesn't County Magistrate Guo come?" Just hide behind. ""Xiao Chen, pay attention to your attitude!" Li Peizheng shouted. Xiao Chen and the driver have been with him for almost two years. They can be said to be true people, but even so, Li Peizheng cannot condone it. The secretary directly said such words that others would take advantage of. But looking at the aggrieved look on Xiao Chen's face, Li Peizheng sighed, "County Magistrate Guo has his own work, and I am the secretary. The secretary will not stand up at this time." How can it be done? "The special political system created by the unique domestic political environment allows party leaders at all levels to not only have?The actual power has also become the representative or even incarnation of the party. Because of this, in the face of sudden disasters, the secretary as the leader has accordingly assumed greater responsibilities than the pure chief executive. Now that the Qiujia'ao embankment has burst, Li Peizheng could guess the terrible scene that might occur without even thinking about it. Because of this, he had previously ordered the policemen from the County Public Security Bureau who followed him to keep their weapons safe, and this Shi Geng also ordered the secretary to emphasize controlling emotions to avoid greater conflicts with agitated villagers. People who have lost their families and homes are irrational and even terrifying. What they are about to face is definitely not the touching scene in the propaganda. It might even cost someone their life! Thinking of these, beads of sweat overflowed on Li Peizheng's already sweaty forehead. When the convoy climbed a steep slope along the muddy dirt road, a police car in front suddenly sounded a sharp horn. Li Peizheng immediately realized that there might be something wrong. He said hello and jumped out before the car stopped. With the help of Xiao Chen, he stepped on the mud that reached his feet and climbed towards the top of the slope. Reaching the top of the slope, Li Peizheng was stunned by the scene in front of him! A large group of people covered in mud, whose faces could not be distinguished at all, and who could not even tell the difference between men and women, were slowly walking up the slope. They were staggering, and many of them needed help from others. Except for a small number of them, they were holding bags and cages. Most of them were carrying things, and most of them were empty-handed. Behind them, a few soldiers who could only vaguely identify their military uniforms were walking around the outside of the crowd while maintaining order. Xiao Chen took a step forward and wanted to block Li Peizheng, but Li Peizheng grabbed his arm and slowly pushed him aside. "Secretary Li" "I am the Secretary of the Pingling County Party Committee." Li Peizheng said word for word. He knew that it was him at this time. What must be faced is that no matter what, he has been given the power of county party secretary, so now is the time for him to take responsibility. A man covered in mud ran over with a shovel in his hand. A police officer immediately reached out to stop him, but was stopped by the man's roar: "Let me go, I am Qiu Lianfu, secretary of the Qiujia'ao Party branch!" "The police officer showed a look of disbelief, but Li Peizheng had already walked over at this time. Although he didn't know Qiu Lianfu, he knew that he couldn't hide behind him at this time. "I am Li Peizheng, Secretary of the Pingling County Party Committee!" "Secretary Li, I am Qiu Lianfu, Secretary of the Qiujia'ao Party Branch," Qiu Lianfu pushed aside the policeman in front of him and came to Li Peizheng. Of course he knew Li Peizheng, but when he wanted When he continued to speak, his nose suddenly became sore, he stretched out his big muddy hands to cover his mouth and choked, "Secretary Li, we, our Qiujiaao" "Comrade Lianfu, we all understand your mood. Now This is not the time to feel sad. We have brought relief supplies and will accommodate everyone. Please tell me first what the casualties are." Li Peizheng felt his voice trembling slightly when he asked this. He was afraid of the terrible numbers he was about to hear. . "Many people have been injured, some of them are serious. We need to find a solution quickly," Qiu Lianfu choked and said, "And, and" "Anything else, tell me quickly!" Li Peizheng's face turned red. If he hadn't looked at Qiu Lianfu like this, , he lost his temper a long time ago. "Director Du and Deputy County Magistrate Chu are also missing. Secretary Li, we really sent people to look for them, but they haven't been found yet. Secretary Li, please send people to find Director Du and the others quickly." "What?" Li Peizheng was stunned, and then he suddenly remembered that it seemed that Chu Yilan came here to support the night before, and then he heard nothing about her. When Li Peizheng wanted to come, Chu Yilan would only come here to show off. , will leave after leaving the support team. But now I heard from Qiu Lianfu that not only had Chu Yilan not left all night, but she even disappeared, which surprised Li Peizheng! But although he was shocked, he couldn't show it. After all, he was facing the people who had just been affected by the disaster. If he showed too much concern for a cadre, it would have a very bad impact. "Comrade Lian Fu, tell me how many deaths there have been in Qiujia'ao. I want you to tell me the truth as a party member." Li Peizheng asked with a livid face. He knew that the cadres below liked to report good news but not bad news. In fact, He had done this himself, but the situation was different now. Seeing that Qiu Lianfu never said the number of fatalities, he was secretly frightened and already prepared for the worst. "No, Secretary Li, no one died except for the seriously injured." After Qiu Lianfu finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed Li Peizheng's hand with such strength that Li Peizheng couldn't help but snorted, "Secretary Li, please send someone to find Director Du and the others quickly. It¡¯s really dangerous!¡± ¡°No one died? Really no one died?¡± Li Peizheng asked in disbelief, but then he discovered thatWhat question was inappropriate? He lowered his voice and asked Qiu Lianfu, "Comrade Lianfu, can you guarantee that what you said is true?" "I guarantee it with my party spirit," Qiu Lianfu showed displeasure on his face, but he immediately Realizing that his attitude was wrong, "It's really Secretary Li. Fortunately, Director Du evacuated all the elderly and children in the village to a safe place in advance, and then he asked all the villagers who participated in the berm not to stay in the depression. Just in case, a few boys still disobeyed and got injured, but not seriously. It's just Director Du and County Magistrate Chu who are in trouble. " "Xiao Du, how are you doing with Director Du?" Only now did Li Peizheng ask. "Director Du stayed on the embankment for a day and a night. He took a break when he was too tired. He happened to catch up with the embankment breach. I don't know what happened now. There is also County Magistrate Chu. Some people saw her helping to evacuate the village. I don¡¯t know where he went afterwards,¡± Qiu Lianfu said while looking at Li Peizheng uneasily. "Secretary Li, Secretary Li." A weak gasping voice came from the crowd. Li Peizheng looked around and saw Mayor Mao being carried by two villagers. Li Peizheng immediately frowned. He knew that Mayor Mao was a die-hard supporter of Guo Songlin. He had supported Guo Songlin at the party committee many times. Although he seemed to have an ugly face when he saw Lao Mao, he actually let the villagers carry him. He was already very anxious. In my heart, a ball of anger immediately arose. "Lao Mao, you are quite comfortable, let the masses carry you, do you really think you are an official?" Li Peizheng asked in a low voice. "Secretary Li, Mayor Mao is injured," Qiu Lianfu quickly explained, "Mayor Mao was hit by a pole when he was rescuing the children in the village. Everyone took the initiative to lift him." "Oh?" Li Peizheng was slightly startled. He didn't expect Mao. The mayor was actually injured because of rescuing people. Just when he was about to speak, Mayor Mao hurriedly said: "Secretary Li, please quickly send someone to find Chu County Magistrate Director Du and the others. Comrades in the army I went to look for him, but there was no news. " "Okay, Lao Mao, don't worry about this. Just rest and recover. I will send someone to find Xiao Du and the others." Li Peizheng comforted him after saying a few words. Mayor Mao stopped coughing. He really didn't expect Mayor Mao to be so worried about Du Yan's safety. While talking, the rescue team had already joined the villagers of Qiujia'ao. As several soldiers ran over, a second lieutenant came to Li Peizheng and stood at attention and saluted: "Report to Secretary Li, we are escorting the people of Qiujia'ao on the order of the captain. "Thank you to the comrades in the army." Li Peizheng immediately stretched out his hand and shook hands with the second lieutenant. The army and the local area had their own systems, and until now, although Li Peizheng knew that some units had begun to help local flood relief. , but as far as he knew, no such troops had entered Pingling so far. Thinking about it this way, Li Peizheng was certain that these soldiers were here to help Du Yan. "Secretary Li, our captain is leading people to look for Director Du and others nearby." The second lieutenant reported to Li Peizheng. "I'm going to take a look. Xiao Chen asked everyone who could be spared to follow me." Only then did Li Peizheng finally reveal his anxiety. Du Yan was Li Peizheng's former secretary. Everyone in the Pingling officialdom was well-known, and Chu Yilan had an extraordinary background. However, both of them disappeared when the Qiujiaao embankment burst. The news spread instantly. Word spreads in Pingling! When she heard that her son had an accident, Sang Shulan almost fainted immediately. Although Du Zhenhai was still calm, Tu Xiangdong, who sent the news, found that Du Zhenhai's hand holding his wife could not help but tremble. Du Zhenhai and his wife were immediately invited to the county party committee compound. When they saw them, cadres who were familiar with them or not came up to express their condolences. No matter what kind of thoughts they had in doing so at this time, there was something in the Pingling County Party Committee compound. It is a rare scene where the attitudes are astonishingly consistent. Near noon, Cui Jianbin and Ren Shuqiang, who had already heard the news, called each other. Even Zhang Wenliang asked his secretary to inquire about the situation. Guo Songlin, who answered the phone, always answered with the same words: " Not found yet. " What made many people emotional was that after Qiu Lianfu had roughly arranged the villagers, he rushed to the county party committee compound. In front of a large group of bystanders, a strong man in his forties knelt down to Du Zhenhai and his wife. , and then kowtowed "bang bang bang"! Sang Shulan cried bitterly, and Du Zhenhai pulled Qiu Lianfu up hard. The corners of his mouth could not help trembling, but he said fiercely: "What is this? What is this? This is what Du Yan does! He should save people, Qiu Party Secretary, if you do this, you are scolding Du Yan! " "Master Du, someone from our village has followed the army to find Director Du and the others. I just came to see you. Now I have to go back." Qiu Lianfu nodded and left without leaving. After a few steps, he turned back to Du ZhenhaiThe couple said, "Master Du, don't worry, we won't stop if we can't find Director Du!" At noon, a phone call alerted the entire Pingling County Party Committee Dayuan. The call was from Taihua, but when Tu Xiangdong, who answered the phone, heard the other party announcing in a calm tone that he was a provincial government cadre "surnamed Liao", Tu Xiangdong immediately realized who the other party was. "Hello Liao Chu, does Governor Gao have any instructions?" Tu Xiangdong hurriedly responded while hinting to the people around him to immediately call Guo Songlin, who was left behind in the county committee. "Director Tu, right?" Secretary Liao said in a calm voice. "That's it. Governor Gao heard that County Magistrate Chu and Director Du in Pingling had an accident during rescue and disaster relief. Governor Gao asked me to ask if it is necessary What help? Governor Gao has already said hello to the main leaders of the Provincial Military Region. If necessary, the Provincial Military Region can arrange personnel to search for the missing persons. " "Liao Chu, thank you Governor Gao for your concern," Tu Xiangdong trembled slightly, Gao Ke. He actually asked in person, which neither he nor anyone else had expected. Although he guessed that what Gao Ke really cared about was Chu Yilan's safety, at least Du Yan's name had remained in Gao Ke's heart. If Director Xiao Du really succeeds in adversity this time, his future may be limitless. But then Tu Xiangdong was secretly frightened, and even beads of sweat began to flow down his forehead! Because he immediately thought, what if something happens to Miss Chu? Then maybe the whole Pingling will be turned upside down. Guo Songlin didn't catch Secretary Liao's call in time. When he arrived, he saw Tu Xiangdong looking at the phone in a trance. Although he was annoyed, Guo Songlin couldn't blame Tu Xiangdong. After all, the initiative lay with him. But just when he was about to turn around and leave, the phone on the table rang again. Tu Xiangdong instinctively grabbed the phone. At this time, every time the phone rang, it was a kind of torture for him. Immediately, Guo Songlin noticed that Tu Xiangdong looked at him strangely. Then after saying "Please wait a moment", Tu Xiangdong covered the phone and whispered to Guo Songlin: "It's a call from the office of the Provincial Executive Vice Governor. The other party claimed to be Governor Yang's secretary." Guo Songlin's face His muscles twitched slightly. He really didn't expect that his small county could only receive calls from two big bosses in the provincial government in one day. By this time, Guo Songlin had already guessed that Yang Weiquan's secretary must have called because of Chu. The matter between Yilan and Du Yan. Guo Songlin answered the phone cautiously. To his surprise, the director of the vice-governor's office, who claimed to be surnamed Liu, first gave instructions in the name of Yang Weiquan to do his best to solve the problem. The missing person was found, and then when the phone call was about to end, he said again, "Governor Yang is very concerned about Director Du and asked me to tell Secretary Li and County Magistrate Guo in Pingling, please take heed." Hearing this sentence Guo Songlin's heart immediately twitched when he said this! Du Yan! The real purpose of Yang Weiquan making this call was actually for Du Yan! Guo Songlin never expected that things would turn out like this. Although he knew some of Du Yan's background, not to mention that he had recently shown his face in front of Gao Ke, he never really regarded Du Yan as someone with a big background. . After all, Du Yan was born and raised in Pingling. His parents were still waiting for news in the lounge at this time. They were a pair of ordinary workers. The reason why Du Yan became a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee was simply because he seized the opportunity and published several articles that attracted attention from above. Guo Songlin knew all this, but now he heard that Yang Weiquan's secretary actually called because of Du Yan instead of Chu Yilan, which made Guo Songlin secretly take a breath. When did Xiao Pingling actually raise so many big deep-water fishes? Looking at the sky that was suddenly clear and cloudy outside the window, Guo Songlin couldn't help but have a wave of complex thoughts in his heart. The scorching sun on the top of her head made her dizzy. Chu Yilan opened her eyes slightly, and then she was choked by the earthy smell and coughed. She thought about it, but the heavy pressure on her body prevented her from even raising her arms. As she slowly adapted to the light in front of her eyes, Chu Yilan found that she was being pressed underneath her! Chu Yilan immediately instinctively pushed hard, but Du Yan who was pressing on her only moved slightly and had no reaction. This made Chu Yilan unable to bear it anymore. She could no longer control the consequences of being seen. As she pushed hard, Du Yan's body was pushed to the side of the trough, and then she The boy sat up from the trough! But when she saw the scene outside, Chu Yilan couldn't help but be stunned. The trough was stuck on a sandbar in the river made of silt, river sand, tree trunks and a ruined wall washed away by the flood.Although it has slowed down slightly, the rapid flood is still flowing forward. "Where are we?" Chu Yilan asked in a panic. When she found that she didn't get a response, she looked back and was shocked to find that Du Yan had his eyes closed and was unconscious! Volume 4, "Volume 3, Official Sailing" Chapter 97 Passion Chu Yilan's face turned pale when she looked at Du Yan, who had her eyes closed tightly. She first stretched out her hand to push, and when there was no response, she immediately shook her hands. Later, she simply clenched her fists and pressed hard on Du Yan's chest, imitating the way she had seen people being rescued. "Wake up Du Yan, don't scare me." Chu Yilan's voice was full of panic and even fear. At this time, she had already forgotten that she was the executive deputy county magistrate of a county with a population of hundreds of thousands. Surrounded by the rushing flood, she only felt unspeakable fear and terrible loneliness. A groan came from Du Yan's throat, and then when Chu Yilan stopped for a moment, he suddenly coughed uncontrollably, and with a long gasp, Du Yan's chest immediately rose and fell. "Du Yan," Chu Yilan couldn't hold down the trembling Du Yan's shoulders. When she saw Du Yan slowly opening his eyes, she couldn't help but immediately leaned over and looked carefully in front of her eyes and asked, "Du Yan." "Yan, can you hear me?" "My chest hurts." Du Yan groaned. Chu Yilan was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately realized that her hands were still tightly pressing on Du Yan's chest. She straightened up immediately, but the trough immediately shook, which frightened her and she couldn't help but fall down immediately. Du Yan gasped for air. He didn't mean to tease Chu Yilan when he said he had chest pain. After waking up, every time he took a breath, he felt a swollen pain from his back to his chest. This reminded him of losing consciousness. It seemed that he had been hit by something and passed out. "Where are we?" Du Yan wanted to sit up, but lay down again because of the discomfort in his chest. However, at this time, he could vaguely hear the sound of water rushing around him. "We are not out of danger yet, are we?" "No, "Chu Yilan smiled bitterly, looked around, and then asked, "Can you get up now?" "I need you to help me," Du Yan said helplessly, when Chu Yilan raised her hand and hugged her gently. When he slowly lifted him up with his shoulders, he felt the full squeeze of Chu Yilan's chest. When he saw the scene around him when he sat up, he immediately frowned, "Mr. Chu, we must leave immediately," As he said that, Du Yan raised his hand and pointed to the dilapidated house in front of him that was destroyed by the flood, but most of the buildings still remained. Feeling that the trough began to shake due to the movements of the two people, Chu Yilan nodded immediately, but when she saw Du Yan frowning slightly when he spoke, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. "It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal for me." Du Yan said and squatted down cautiously, but the trough immediately shook, and the broken branches of the trees and branches that were originally entangled together began to make bursts of noise. "No, we will be washed away!" Chu Yilan clutched Du Yan's arm with a pale face. "It's okay, we'll be fine." Du Yan comforted Chu Yilan gently in his ear. He didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions. At this time, Chu Yilan's panicked and uneasy look was completely different. A young, promising, decisive and capable leader was just a frightened young woman. Perhaps Du Yan's comfort had an effect. Chu Yilan slowly calmed down. She raised her head slightly, but found that she had not only hugged Du Yan's arm tightly because of her nervousness, but her head was also pressed against his shoulder. When he raised his head, the lips of the two people almost touched each other. Chu Yilan's face suddenly turned red. She let go of Du Yan's hand and wanted to step back, but the narrow space of the trough gave her nowhere to go. What was even worse was that the two people's movements were slightly larger. , the trough stuck in the middle of the branches shook again. "Can you please stop moving? You want to kill us two." Because he was facing danger, his usual reservedness suddenly became insignificant at this moment. Looking at Chu Yilan's reckless behavior, Du Yan couldn't help but feel slightly accusatory. Speak up to stop. Chu Yilan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Du Yan to actually talk to her like this, but before she could speak, Du Yan had already continued: "I'll try to drag the trough to the edge of the house. Don't move around when you sit in it." ." As he spoke, he slowly took off his shirt. "You, what are you doing?" Seeing Du Yan taking off his clothes, although she knew that he was unlikely to have any evil intentions at this time, Chu Yilan still asked involuntarily. "We were in the water at that time, so it was inconvenient to wear clothes," Du Yan responded, and then looked back at Chu Yilan with understanding, which made Chu Yilan's face turn red. "No, this is too dangerous." Chu Yilan couldn't help but cry out as she looked at Du Yan, who leaned over and grabbed the branch next to him to move the trough forward. "It's better than being washed away by the flood again. If you are washed away again, you won't be so lucky." After Du Yan said this, he looked at the gap between the branches and estimated it first, then grabbed the edge of the trough and slowly slid into the water. .   Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan, half of his body submerged in the water, pushing the trough with both hands to avoid the horizontal and vertical branches. The floods were still raging all around. Some branches that had been stranded on the sandbank fell off due to Du Yan pushing the trough to move, and were immediately swallowed by the incoming floods! Du Yan felt that his arms were getting more and more sore and the weight was getting heavier. When his feet finally stepped on a solid place under the water, he immediately used all his strength to prepare to pull the trough over. But at this moment, a large loose tree trunk suddenly swirled sideways along the water flow and hit the trough with a huge force. The entire trough instantly rolled into the flood. "Ah!" Chu Yilan let out a frightened and sharp cry. She felt that the whole world seemed to be turned upside down. Before she could make a second cry, she had already fallen into the water as the trough rolled. inside! A large mouthful of muddy water poured into Chu Yilan's mouth. Her body sank suddenly, but then she felt the clothes on her back tighten, and then her upper body was pulled out of the water! "Hold on!" A roar that seemed to be right next to her ears roared in Chu Yilan's ears. She instinctively stretched out her hands and hugged the body in the torrent in front of her tightly! "Go up!" Du Yan stepped upward with force. Although the knife-like pain that came from the soles of his feet made him groan, the desire to survive made him step forward desperately! One step, two steps, three steps! After groping and climbing up the steps under the water, Du Yan finally stood up from the water with most of his body, and then the two of them fell down on a protruding broken stone platform. Du Yan only felt a sharp pain under his feet. He thought something had stuck into him, but he didn't care about it at this time. He was so exhausted from struggling in the water that he couldn't move at all. The previous wave had just subsided. The pain in his chest made him cough again. What's worse is that it's not easy for him to take a breath at this time, because Chu Yilan's hands are wrapped around his chest, and his head is completely stuck in his chest and he is holding on tightly. The power is so strong that it makes him Du Yan almost lost his temper. The two of them hugged each other tightly and struggled to crawl towards the dilapidated house. Then the two of them fell to the muddy ground. After an unknown amount of time, Chu Yilan slowly raised her head. When she saw herself like this, even though she was covered in dirt, Du Yan still saw indescribable shyness in her eyes. She wanted to withdraw her arms, but she couldn't because she was pressed by Du Yan. So her body couldn't help but move slightly, but then her expression suddenly went blank. Du Yan also sensed that something was wrong. He followed Chu Yilan's eyes downwards and was shocked to see that not only the buttons of Chu Yilan's jacket were completely unbuttoned, but even the underwear inside had disappeared. The huge, firm and plump fruit is completely exposed in front of you! What's even more incredible is that, perhaps because of Chu Yilan's unconscious twisting and rubbing just now, the two cherries at the top of the pair of peaks that had been squeezed under Du Yan's chest and abdomen now stood upright like two hard stones. The top of the mountain. Chu Yilan let out a low cry in an instant. She wanted to pull up her top that was stuck together with mud and water, but she couldn't do it. When she looked up at Du Yan, she met a pair of hot eyes. "No!" Chu Yilan only had time to make such a short sound, and then her body was hugged tightly, and her lips were completely sealed. The only thing that could come out was the moan struggling in her throat. Du Yan¡¯s actions really frightened Chu Yilan! She instinctively placed her two hands on Du Yan's back and patted his back. At the same time, her body tightly hugged by him also twisted hard in his arms, but this seemed to arouse Du Yan's passion even more. **. Maybe it was the pride that Chu Yilan had always shown that stimulated him, maybe it was the influence of adversity in which he could lose his life at any time, or maybe the beautiful scenery in front of him was too tempting, or even just because of the woman in front of him. It was Chu Yilan. At this moment, Du Yan desperately hugged the woman in his arms and kissed her crazily! Chu Yilan couldn't help struggling. She didn't expect that she would encounter such a thing. Du Yan's strength was frightening. The hands holding her naked waist seemed to be about to completely break her slender waist, leaving her The most fearful thing was his hot and deep kiss that made her fearful at first, and then made her feel uneasy from the bottom of her heart. Du Yan¡¯s kiss was full of plunder and even cruelty, which was completely different from what Chu Yilan had imagined. The aura of possession and madness frightened and shocked Chu Yilan. Under this strange and overwhelming invasion, Chu Yilan¡¯s hands that couldn¡¯t help but slap Du Yan¡¯s back became more and more painful.She was so weak that eventually her arms began to grasp Du Yan's exposed back involuntarily, and her ten fingers tightly clasped the muscles on Du Yan's back, sinking deeper and deeper. Suddenly, a hot breath enveloped the peaks of Chu Yilan's chest. This hot breath made her mind clear. "No!" Chu Yilan struggled out of the unfamiliar and uneasy feeling. Only then did she realize that she was lying under Du Yan at some point, and her hands were so tight. Holding onto Du Yan's equally exposed back. Looking at the man lying on top, looking down at her, Chu Yilan immediately struggled to push Du Yan away, but with such a movement, she immediately felt an uneasy feeling caused by the grape covering Du Yan's palm. Sour. "Du Yan, we can't do this," Chu Yilan said in a tone that even she felt powerless after hearing it. She didn't dare to look into Du Yan's eyes. When she felt Du Yan's body leaning towards her, Chu Yilan Lan simply closed her eyes, but she still wanted to make a last-ditch effort. "Calm down, Du Yan. If anything happens to us, we're all doomed." "Who would know?" Du Yan whispered in Chu Yilan's ear, The voice seemed to be threatening, but it also contained unspeakable temptation, which made Chu Yilan even more frightened. She would rather believe that it was Du Yan who was threatening her, "Secretary-General Chu, didn't you always know that I am a gangster? " Du Yan's words reminded Chu Yilan of the pornographic magazines that Du Yan showed her when they first met. This made her turn her head and open her eyes. Du Yan rolled his eyes and cursed in a low voice: "Little hooligan." Du Yan's expression was stunned. When Chu Yilan stopped him, he had actually sobered up a lot. The previous impulsiveness made him somewhat embarrassed, so he wanted to find a way out by talking. But now looking at Chu Yilan's seemingly angry and angry look, I feel the sultry breath coming from Chu Yilan's half-naked body, and the palms of her hands that are so full and firm due to stimulation that it seems to be The huge fruit was about to explode, and an uncontrollable conflict immediately surged up from the lower abdomen! Du Yan lowered his head sharply, but kissed Chu Yilan's slightly opened lips. At the same time, his hands kept roaming and caressing Chu Yilan's almost half-naked upper body. Du Yan's actions made Chu Yilan feel scared. She didn't know whether this fear came from Du Yan's violation of her body, or from the unexplainable but extremely uneasy restlessness in her heart. With persistence, his tongue finally broke through Chu Yilan's closed teeth. When the flexible tip of his tongue penetrated between her lips and teeth, Chu Yilan's last bit of reserve and reason finally disappeared. She didn't remember what happened next, she just let Du Yan kiss and caress her body. Somehow, from the initial panic to an indescribable excitement, Chu Yilan felt Du Yan brought her a strange feeling that she had never experienced before. When Du Yan reached out and gently unbuttoned the belt of her pants, Chu Yilan's body couldn't help but stiffen. She was afraid to grab Du Yan's hand at first, but then she closed her eyes and let go of her hand. Chu Yilan closed her eyes tighter as her clothes and pants were taken off. When she felt Du Yan's body pressing against her and the masculinity that made her feel a sense of fear, Chu Yilan couldn't help but hold Du Yan's shoulders tightly with her hands. "Yilan, I'm here." Du Yan's whisper rang in Chu Yilan's ears, which made Chu Yilan uneasy, but her arm holding Du Yan's shoulder did not move away, but only harder. A burst of indescribable pain suddenly came from beneath the body! Chu Yilan's lips immediately opened, and she looked at Du Yan who was lying on her body with horrified eyes. Although she knew it might be painful the first time, she never thought it would be so painful! "You little hooligan!" Chu Yilan burst into tears. She never thought that one day she would hand herself over to this man. He has a wife, or at least a fianc¨¦e, and he is still his opponent. He even sabotaged his hard-fought political achievements. You should hate him! With these thoughts running through her mind, Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan sadly. She didn't know if she was crazy. If she had stopped him just now, would he really dare to be powerless against her? But now, she was lying under him like this, listening to him speaking comforting words in her ears, feeling his hands caressing her body, and the shameful heat and pain under her body, which was so painful. Yilan felt that not only was she completely crazy, but she had also completely fallen into the trap created by this man with gentleness. Do you really hate this man? Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan with hazy eyes. Let it go and let yourself go completely crazy today. Chu Yilan shyly put her lips to Du Yan's ear, and when she whisperedWhen she told him that he could love her, it also ignited a passionate and seemingly desperate love between the two! Du Yan held Chu Yilan's astonishingly thin waist tightly in his arms. The proud and aloof Deputy Secretary-General Chu when they first met was now lying under him. This stimulation made Du Yan even feel It was an unreal feeling, and as he began to gallop hard, Chu Yilan's unfamiliar and sensitive reaction could not help but bring him unimaginable joy. Chu Yilan felt scared for herself. From the pain at the beginning to the joy that Du Yan brought her, she felt that she was so afraid of this strange feeling. What made her even more uneasy was that not only did she not feel disgusted , and even felt happy because he was doing this kind of thing with Du Yan. This made Chu Yilan really scared. She was even willing to tell herself that Du Yan was forcing her to do all this, but in fact she knew very well that if it were someone else, she would resist with all her strength even at this time. , and may even jump into the flood to keep their reputation! But this was Du Yan, the Du Yan who she had hated before, but who had just taken a risk to save her, and who actually felt dizzy and weak when he forcefully kissed her! Chu Yilan couldn't help moaning. Under Du Yan's increasingly powerful stimulation, she felt that she had almost forgotten everything. When her unbearable leisurely moan echoed through the broken house, Chu Yilan Holding Du Yan's body tightly, he climbed to the peak of joy amid a wave of uneasy throbs rising from the bottom of his heart! There was silence in the shabby house, except for the slight sound of two people panting after their passion. The flood outside seemed to be a little smaller. Du Yan raised his head slightly and looked at Chu Yilan, who was resting on his arm tiredly and looking at him without saying a word. Everything happened so suddenly that it was even unbelievable. Maybe everything was really because of this special atmosphere, but Du Yan knew in his heart that if the Chu Yilan in front of him were replaced by Zhao Xiaoyun, he would be like this. Qiao Luowei, he might do the same thing, but if it were another woman, he wouldn't. ???????????????????????????? What about Chu Yilan? Why would he do this to Chu Yilan? Could it be that the shadow of Chu Yilan has long been left in his mind? "Yilan, I" Du Yan opened his mouth to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak. "What are you going to do in the future?" Chu Yilan suddenly asked. Seeing the gloom that quickly flashed across Du Yan's face, Chu Yilan turned her head to the side, "You still want to marry Su Qian, right?" "Yi "Lan, I'm sorry," Du Yan whispered, knowing that no explanation would be useful at this time. "If you feel wronged, you can sue me." "You!" Chu Yilan suddenly turned around and looked at Du Yan angrily, and then she Suddenly he opened his mouth and bit Du Yan's arm, "I'll bite you to death!" Du Yan couldn't help but groan at the excruciating pain, but he immediately held it back because he knew that this pain was nothing compared to Chu Yilan's current mood. Doesn¡¯t count. "Yilan, I will find a way to solve the problems of the few of us in the future," Du Yan could only whisper in Chu Yilan's ear to comfort him, "But I will not let you down." "You are still saying this now," Chu Yilan Tears overflowed from Yilan's eyes, "What will happen if my father finds out?" "Then let's not let your father know for now," Du Yan continued in a low voice, "until one day I can really face him." " You are just perfunctory with me, you" Chu Yilan interrupted Du Yan, and at this moment, there was a faint roar of a motorboat. came suddenly. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 98: Each has their own plans Sun Xiaopeng leaned on the edge of the motorboat, staring at the rolling water with eyes like a hawk. He still remembered what Zhao Youxun said to him before setting off: "You must find it for me no matter what. I want to see someone when I am alive!" Zhao Youxun did not say the following sentence, but Sun Xiaopeng knew that "you must see the body even if you die!" It didn't take long, but Sun Xiaopeng's lips were already swollen with blisters. The previous continuous flood fighting mission was followed by hours of non-stop bumping and searching in the torrential waves. Although Sun Xiaopeng was a soldier who had undergone special training, his physical strength It is also close to a serious overdraft. "Team Sun, this place has been searched, let's go to the front," a soldier shouted to Sun Xiaopeng, but Sun Xiaopeng shook his head vigorously: "We just searched this area again, but we really didn't go to the front." Sun Xiaopeng answered in a slightly hoarse voice. He didn't know why, looking at the slow water and the large debris floating on the river, he had a strong premonition that he might make a major discovery here. As for whether the person found is a living person or a dead body, it is no longer what Sun Xiaopeng considers now. When the motorboat slowed down and floated forward along the current, a raised sandbar in the middle of the river caught Sun Xiaopeng's attention. He used the red light of the setting sun to look toward the sandbar, which was dyed golden. Looking at the dilapidated house, when a long shadow suddenly appeared in his eyes, Sun Xiaopeng's heart jumped suddenly, and then he stood up from the boat desperately! "Captain Sun" "Shut up!" Sun Xiaopeng shouted at the soldiers behind him without looking back. He raised his binoculars and looked carefully. Then he opened his mouth slightly, and then let out a cheer, "Found it!" "When Sun Xiaopeng's motorboat finally stopped at the edge of the sandbank and fixed the boat with ropes, Du Yan was already standing in front of the half-collapsed door of the house, waiting for them. In fact, when the sound of the motorboat came, Du Yan heard it earlier, but at that time he would rather miss this rare opportunity to be saved. However, at this time, Chu Yilan showed a rare calmness. Although she still felt the discomfort of becoming a woman for the first time, she gritted her teeth and put on her clothes. But when she put on her pants, she looked at the spots on the underwear that Du Yan had thoughtfully placed under her body. There were blood stains, but he glared fiercely at Du Yan, whose face was full of sneer! Chu Yilan gritted her teeth and stood slightly away from Du Yan, watching his back waving to the motorboat in the distance, feeling unspeakable emotions in her heart. ¡°I gave him the most precious thing like this, and it was unclear whether it was voluntary or under vague coercion. Is this my fate? What should I do in the future? Force him to marry you? But he already has a fianc¨¦e. If he is forced to get married, will he agree? But if you don¡¯t get married, will you have to endure it or just go on like this without knowing it? What will you do in the future? What will happen if the father finds out? Chu Yilan's heart couldn't help but feel like she had just done something stupid. If she had even a little bit of calmness and sense, she wouldn't have let this little gangster take advantage of her in such a muddle-headed manner. . However, even though she was thinking this, Chu Yilan also knew that at that time, she was actually in a state of complete abandonment of everything, the joy of completely exposing her heart when her life seemed to be about to end. Maybe in that kind of atmosphere, other men would do the same thing. Chu Yilan wanted to find an excuse for herself, but then she realized that this was just self-deception. Hearing a cry of joy from outside, and then seeing Sun Xiaopeng jumping on the steps and grabbing Du Yan's arm tightly, Chu Yilan moved back slightly. From now on, she is a member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee and the executive deputy county magistrate, while he is a member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee and the director of the new district. The two have returned to their previous identities and relationships. Treat it all as a dream, treat it as his reward for saving her, and after leaving here, the two of them will no longer have any worries. Chu Yilan thought to herself, and then she showed a happy but slightly reserved look on her face, and stretched out her hand to Sun Xiaopeng who was walking towards him: "Thank you, little Sun, for saving me again." When she heard the word "again", Chu Yilan's outstretched hand paused slightly, and her eyes inadvertently glanced at the side of Du Yan's face. Didn¡¯t I also be saved by him twice? Although it was Sun Xiaopeng who came forward last time, it was obviously him who gave the order. Do you really have nothing to do with him anymore? "Mr. Chu, Director Du, get on the motorboat quickly. It's not safe here," Sun Xiaopeng urged, and he brought the life-saving?He quickly put it on for Chu Yilan, then turned around and handed the other piece to Du Yan. But just when Du Yan was about to reach out and take the lifejacket, Sun Xiaopeng suddenly changed his mind. He put the lifejacket on the ground, then took off his lifejacket and then took off his shirt: "Director Du, put on your clothes first, I'll watch you You might catch a cold like this. " Du Yan couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at the wet shirt. He didn't understand why Sun Xiaopeng didn't even understand why it was inappropriate to wear wet clothes. However, when he noticed the look in Sun Xiaopeng's direction, he He immediately grabbed his clothes and put them on randomly, and then put on his life jacket. With the help of the soldiers on the boat, Chu Yilan and Du Yan finally climbed onto the motorboat. As they untied the rope, the motorboat roared toward the front amid a deafening roar from the engine. "Xiaopeng, thank you for your hard work." Sitting in the motorboat, looking at the bulging blisters on Sun Xiaopeng's lips, Du Yan reached out and patted Sun Xiaopeng's shoulder hard. "Director Du, this is my responsibility." Sun Xiaopeng's answer was very appropriate. Although he had been ordered to secretly rescue Chu Yilan before, he still maintained a certain distance from Du Yan in front of Chu Yilan. Chu Yilan rolled her eyes inadvertently. She had known for a long time that the relationship between Du Yan and Sun Xiaopeng was unusual, but because Sun Xiaopeng's rescue of her could also be regarded as a minor incident of hers, she did not She didn't want to expose these two people, but she felt unhappy when she saw Sun Xiaopeng deliberately pretending to be a stranger to Du Yan in front of her. But then she was stunned by the emotion she had. When did she feel that Du Yan shouldn't be hiding something from her? "County Magistrate Chu, Director Du, it's great to find you," Sun Xiaopeng said, "You don't know yet, because you are missing. It is said that even the provincial leaders have personally asked about you." "Oh?" Du Yan and Chu Yi Lan looked at each other, but the two of them had more ideas about Sun Xiaopeng's words. Chu Yilan's disappearance would certainly attract the attention of the provincial leaders. As for Du Yan, he only benefited from Chu Yilan's favor. Seeing the slightly teasing smile on Du Yan's face, Chu Yilan felt a little annoyed, but she did not dare to show a strange look in front of outsiders, so she could only close her eyes slightly to avoid looking at Du Yan's slightly mocking smile. "Inform the other search teams that County Magistrate Chu and Director Du have been found," Sun Xiaopeng turned around and ordered a soldier holding a signal flag, and then he said, "In addition, ask them to report to the county party committee leaders and say that we will return directly for disaster relief." "We are fine, let's go back to the county committee now," Chu Yilan opened her eyes and said urgently when she thought of something. Fortunately, her face was covered with mud at this time, so she looked so panicked. The uneasy look was concealed. But Du Yan secretly smiled bitterly and said in his heart: "Silly girl, do you think Sun Xiaopeng, the monkey spirit, didn't see anything?" Thinking in his heart, Du Yan stroked his arm through his sleeves that Chu Yilan had beaten hard before. Biting off the two rows of impressions, Chu Yilan secretly thought about it. Chu Yilan had eaten this delicious piece of fat meat in his mouth, but what should he do next? Should he eat it all and drink it all? " Then Chu Ping and Chu Yijun, the father and son of the king of hell, can't they just tear themselves apart? ! ¡°Hey, no matter how much I have been thinking about Chu Yilan, I shouldn¡¯t have acted so recklessly. It¡¯s too late to regret it now. It seems that this impulse is really the devil. The temporary hospital of the Disaster Relief Force of the Hexi Provincial Military Region was established in a village not far from Xiaoqing River. Originally, according to the intention of the Provincial Military Region, the temporary hospital should be located in Pingling County. In fact, although the bank collapse in the upper reaches was unexpected, Until superiors issued orders to secure important industrial areas downstream, many people still did not think that the flood would be so terrible. Only later, as the situation changed, did party and government leaders at all levels in Hexi realize that the arrival of this unexpected flood peak was likely to brew into a tragedy. Subsequently, the temporary hospital of Sheng Military Region advanced to the bank of Xiaoqing River overnight, just because It was really impossible to determine where the flood peak might break the embankment, so I chose a village that was as balanced as possible and stopped temporarily. But this did give Du Yan and the others a good opportunity. Du Yan knew that Sun Xiaopeng had obviously discovered something was wrong. Although this kid didn't know much because he was still young, he probably wouldn't think that deeply. But at least with his cleverness, he should be able to find a way to cover up this matter for himself. But when they arrived in the village, Sun Xiaopeng specially found a female military doctor for Chu Yilan. Seeing the evil smile Sun Xiaopeng gave him as soon as Chu Yilan turned around to leave, Du Yan reached out and grabbed the medicine next to him. A military kettle was smashed over! "Why are you laughing?" Du Yan asked angrily. "Director, I?You can¡¯t even laugh? Sun Xiaopeng came over shamelessly, "Director, do you know that Hexi Province was almost turned upside down because of the two of you? It is said that the number of calls in the county party committee office was almost overflowing, and the leaders who called were more powerful than the last. It is said that several people from the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee have asked about this matter. " Du Yan curled his lips slightly. Of course he knew that with Chu Yilan's background and status as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, not to mention people like Chu Ping, Gao Ke, and Liang Benchu, even the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Feng Zhenhuai would probably express concern. Seeing that Du Yan didn't seem to take it seriously, Sun Xiaopeng was a little surprised at first, and then couldn't help but think to himself: "As expected of Director Du, he didn't even take it seriously when he heard that the leaders of the provincial party committee were concerned. " But he didn't expect that Du Yan at this time had never thought that he was also one of the people cared about by these leaders. " Du Yan had a broken branch stuck in the sole of his foot. Fortunately, it did not hurt the blood vessels. After passing by He was quickly bandaged after treatment, but when checking other injuries on his body, the military doctor seemed a little embarrassed, especially the scar on his arm that anyone who was not blind could tell at a glance that it was a bite. When the military doctor looked at him, he couldn't help but show a trace of doubt. But this suspicion only lasted until Sun Xiaopeng whispered a few words in his ear, and then the military doctor immediately treated Du in a skillful but completely routine manner. Yan's body was checked, but before leaving, he reminded Du Yan in a casual tone that it was best to pay attention to disinfection. After all, there was blood. Under Sun Xiaopeng's suppressed smile, Du Yan took it. The doctor handed over the potion and then asked Sun Xiaopeng to disinfect the scars on his arm. Sun Xiaopeng worked very seriously. He did not show any other expressions on his face. This made Du Yan very satisfied, at least for this kid. Knowing when to stop is one thing, being able to do things is another thing, knowing the rules of advance and retreat is what really makes people feel at ease. "Xiao Peng, please prepare yourself after this is over," Du Yan pressed his eyes and felt his arm. There was a vague sting in the uploaded waves: "Wang Lianyi may move, and you may also have a new position. " "Is Brother Wang going to be promoted? "Sun Xiaopeng asked with a smile. Seeing him like this, Du Yan smiled lightly. Sun Xiaopeng and Wang Lianyi are different. If Wang Lianyi is one of Du Yan's training, then Sun Xiaopeng is one of his own. For Wang Lianyi, of course it is necessary. The relationship is based on friendship, but more importantly, interests serve as a bond. As for Sun Xiaopeng, Du Yan regards him more as his helper and assistant. Du Yan has long thought of letting Wang Lianyi join the county bureau to control the criminal police team. Although Sun Xiaopeng could not become the director immediately because the establishment had just been solved, there was no doubt that he had established prestige at the Xishi Market Police Station during this period. In addition, the person who succeeded Wang Lianyi was also from the Xishi Market Police Station that Du Yan knew. As an old man, it can be said that even if Wang Lianyi leaves, the Xishi Market Police Station will still be in the hands of Du Yan. And the Xishi Market Police Station will play a decisive role in Du Yan's future plans. As for Wang Lianyi's entry into the county bureau, if it were said before. There may be some obstacles, but now these obstacles have suddenly become insignificant. Now at least Chu Yilan will support him, and Ding Bingxian, who is related to Chu Yilan's break, and Huang Zhiguo, the secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection who is close to Ding Bingxian, are also invisibly with him. A more complicated relationship has been formed. It seems that Chu Yilan's fat meal is really worth it. Du Yan thought in his heart, but then he buried this thought deeply in his heart. He didn't want to think about it at this time. There were many complicated reasons behind what he did to Chu Yilan. He would rather believe that he was infatuated with Chu Yilan's beauty and couldn't control it for a while. After taking the medicine, Du Yan began to feel unable to explain. He knew it was due to the medicine and his reaction after finally relaxing. But although he was concerned about Chu Yilan, it was difficult to ask. Fortunately, Sun Xiaopeng seemed to understand Du Yan's thoughts, so he went out. He came back not long after that, and whispered to Du Yan who was lying on the bed: "Director, County Magistrate Chu took the medicine and rested. I have already said hello to the doctor who examined her, so don't worry. " "You boy, you are such a monkey spirit. "Du Yan opened his mouth and smiled slightly, but then an overwhelming sleepiness hit him. He slowly closed his eyes and fell into a dream. Sun Xiaopeng looked at Du Yan sleeping soundly, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then turned back to Chu Yilan looked at the tent where Chu Yilan was resting, then shook his head and sighed: "Hey, it looks like it's going to be lively from now on. ¡± While sleeping, Du Yan felt that his body seemed to be sinking into the water again and again, and then it came to the surface again and again, sometimes shaking, sometimes rolling.??Sometimes it seems like I am completely trapped in the darkness and cannot move at all! This feeling frightened Du Yan. He tried to struggle again and again but in vain. What was even more frightening was that there seemed to be a flame in the darkness that grew stronger and stronger from far to near. Later, he was horrified to see the flame. That familiar figure that he will never forget in his life. He wanted to struggle to catch the person in the flames, but his body was tightly restrained. Until he let out a desperate cry because of the restraint, Du Yan opened his eyes! The face that appeared in front of him surprised him. When he saw the anxious and concerned expression on Du Fei's face, he couldn't help but asked strangely: "Xiao Fei, why is it you?" "I can't do it!" Du Fei's originally excited face immediately showed displeasure. She reached out to slap Du Yan out of habit, but her hand was immediately grabbed by a hand next to her. "Xiao Fei, don't be ridiculous." Sang Shulan's voice sounded from the bedside. She grabbed her daughter, and at the same time, she pulled her other hand forward and pulled the other person to Du Yan's bed. "Qianqian," seeing Su Qian walking silently to the window, Du Yan felt excited, but also felt unspeakable guilt. He felt the scar on his arm where Chu Yilan had bitten him faintly. "Come here." "Yeah," Su Qian responded simply. She looked into Du Yan's eyes, and then said slowly, "I still think that if they can't find you again, I will look for you myself." Listening to Su Qian's simple, direct, without any pretense but so clear words, Du Yan's nose suddenly felt a little sore. At this moment, he felt that Su Qian was the one who owed the most to him, whether in his previous life or in the future! "Xiao Yan, you are really in danger this time," Du Zhenhai walked over. He looked at his son, and then suddenly smiled, "But you did a good job and did not embarrass our Du family." Why are you so proud?" Sang Shulan's face showed displeasure. "Look at what you said, my son is not doing well," Du Zhenhai said disapprovingly, but his eyes kept looking at Du Yan's body, "As long as it didn't hurt anything big, you really hurt your mother and the others this time." "I'm scared." "That's not all, we are all scared," Li Peizheng's voice came from outside the room, and as he walked into the room, Pingling's cadres came in one after another. "Secretary Li." Du Yan was about to sit up immediately, but was held down by Li Peizheng. "Xiao Du, lie down and don't move." Li Peizheng looked at Du Yan and nodded, then pressed his shoulder. "Xiao Du, I saw you right. You are the Du Yan I knew back then." Listening to Li Peizheng's words , Du Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Once upon a time, I woke up from a dream and seized the opportunity to become Li Peizheng's secretary. Then I tried my best to assist, and Li Peizheng also repaid his loyalty with all his strength. When he took over Daqing Township, it was Li Peizheng who fought hard to protect himself. When he was down, it was Li Peizheng who still did not avoid suspicion and ran for himself. All these things at the beginning are as early as a spring dream, so far away. "Secretary Li, I failed to guard the levee." Du Yan whispered. He knew that he had benefited from Chu Yilan this time. After all, he had tried his best to protect the levee and almost fell into the water. After all, the so-called lack of credit was still There is hard work, but even if it is not hard work, there will be fatigue, and I am somewhat injured and devastated. Although I may be punished, I should not be devastated, but if I think about it carefully, I have disgraced my mission after all, even strictly. To say that would be dereliction of duty. But what surprised him slightly was that after he finished saying this, the room fell into a strange silence. Although Li Peizheng standing in front of the bed had a strange face, the faces of those behind him were even more different. Liao Kun, who was standing a little further away, simply curled up the corner of his mouth, showing a look of disdain of "I'm still being good after getting an advantage". "Xiao Du, you have been sleeping, so you don't know." After noticing the confused look on Du Yan's face, Li Peizheng realized that maybe the person involved didn't know what happened. "While you were asleep, Gao Sheng The president has personally come to visit you. Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Director Liang of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee asked his secretary to call to inquire about your situation. In addition, "at this point, Li Peizheng looked a little weird. "Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Executive Deputy Provincial Governor Vice Governor Chang Yang also asked his office director to inquire about your health. " Seeing Li Peizheng's slightly disappointed expression when talking about Yang Weiquan, Du Yan sighed in his heart. As a cadre of Yang Weiquan's line, Li Peizheng has never had the opportunity to meet Yang Weiquan so far. As his former secretary, he not only met Yang Weiquan, but even alerted Yang Weiquan's office director to call him personally because he fell into the water and was in danger. I'd like to ask, if Li Peizheng doesn't feel disappointed?Fall, that's impossible. "Secretary Li, please stop talking. Besides, I feel really ashamed." Du Yan showed an embarrassed look on his face. "I should have guarded the embankment, but I didn't guard it at all." "But you saved the Qiu family's land. Hundreds of lives." Li Peizheng's expression has returned to normal, but he looked at Du Yan with a somewhat profound look in his eyes. "Xiao Du, the people in Qiujia'ao are outside. They are waiting to see you, and they will not agree until they see you get better. Come on, is it convenient for you to meet them now?" Hearing Li Peizheng's words, Du Zhenhai and his wife couldn't help showing proud looks on their faces, while Du Fei pulled Du Yan's arm tightly, as if he wanted to pull him up from the bed immediately. Only Su Qian, a trace of uneasiness and worry quickly flashed across her originally calm face. "Secretary, what are the people doing? Let them ask, if there is no Party Secretary Lao Qiu, if there is no Mayor Mao, what can I do alone?" Du Yan said urgently, and at the same time he couldn't help but gasp because of some excitement. "Secretary Li, Director Du was injured by a heavy object after he fell into the water. We can't let him get too excited and tired now." Sun Xiaopeng, standing nearby, explained to Li Peizheng in a low voice. "Oh? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Xiao Du, lie down quickly." Li Peizheng immediately motioned for Du Yan to lie down. At the same time, he said to Guo Songlin beside him, who had not spoken except to say hello after entering the door, "Old Guo, I think it's better to let him lie down." "Xiao Du, let's take a rest first. Let's do some work over there." "Well, let's take a rest first and talk about it later," Guo Songlin nodded. After Li Peizheng and others expressed condolences to Du Zhenhai¡¯s family, the Pingling officials walked out of the room. "Xiaoyan, lie down quickly. Why didn't you say you weren't feeling well before?" Sang Shulan asked Sun Xiaopeng anxiously, "Xiaopeng, is Xiaoyan hurt badly?" Sun Xiaopeng looked at Du Yan, then scratched the back of his head. : "Don't worry, Auntie, Director Du just needs a few days of rest." "Then why did you scare us just now?" Du Fei immediately made a long face, "Originally, my brother was going to meet those people, so you can mess with it. It's all over." "Xiaofei, Xiaopeng did nothing wrong," Su Qian whispered to Du Fei, "Du Yan can't go to see those people, it's not helping him, it's harming him." "Who wants to harm my brother? ?" Du Fei immediately looked away, and Du Zhenhai and his wife couldn't help but look surprised. "Qianqian, it seems that your trip to the East China Sea is not in vain," Du Yan smiled at Su Qian, and then sighed softly, "It seems that I can't stay in Pingling for the time being." Listening to Du Yan's words, Du Zhenhai, his wife and Du Fei both had puzzled looks on their faces, while Su Qian showed a hint of helplessness. "Director Du, I have something to report to you." Sun Xiaopeng, who was standing next to him, suddenly said, "There is someone who wants to see you." "Who is it?" Du Yan asked. "Chu Yijun, the brother of Deputy County Magistrate Chu." Sun Xiaopeng said nonchalantly. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 99 Small favors are only repaid, big favors are only revenge When Chu Yijun walked into the ward, Du Yan was the only one in the room. Seeing Du Yan who was half lying on the bed, Chu Yijun showed a smile on his face. He had nothing in his hands and even paused for a while with his hands behind his back when he walked into the room. "Brother Chu, please come in." Du Yan also smiled. He knew that Chu Yijun came to see him more than just to express his gratitude. When Sun Xiaopeng mentioned Chu Yijun, he called him the brother of County Magistrate Chu instead of Secretary Liang's secretary. Du Yan believed that this was not what Sun Xiaopeng meant. Just because Sun Xiaopeng was very smart, he should know better. Deep and shallow, you will never get the wrong relationship casually in terms of titles. ¡°Then the only one who asked him to say this was Chu Yijun himself. Did Chu Yijun discover something? Although Du Yan had thought about it before, he quickly denied the idea. Although Chu Yilan was similar to many women, she had been in officialdom for many years. Unless she really risked everything, At least at this time she would not rashly reveal the relationship between the two of them. So who does Chu Yijun represent this time? Chu Yijun pulled up a chair and sat beside the bed. He looked at Du Yan silently. After a while, his voice was calm, but he said word by word: "Du Yan, my father asked me to bring you a message. You I, the Chu family, have taken note of this favor of rescuing Yilan. In the future, whenever there is a need for my Chu family, feel free to speak up. " Listening to Chu Yijun's words, Du Yan thought quickly in his mind. In the eyes of many people who know Chu Yilan¡¯s background, saving Chu Yilan by himself is undoubtedly a great favor to the Chu family! Based on Chu Ping's expectations for his daughter, she is definitely a great benefactor to the Chu family. This kind of kindness is definitely a life-saving grace, but similarly, for a family like the Chu family, this kind of kindness is also a huge burden. The kindness of a drop of water is repaid by a spring, but what about the kindness of saving a life? In the Chu family's view, although their action of saving Chu Yilan's life was a favor, it may not be trouble! Especially after I had just approached Yang Weiquan "out of anger" because of Chu Yilan's rash intervention in the new district, this favor was a bit too sudden and unacceptable. "Brother Chu, whatever you say, whether it is public or private, I am responsible for it." Du Yan smiled softly at Chu Yijun. He knew that some of Chu Yijun's words seemed difficult to say. In this case, he decided to say it for Chu Yijun. "Brother Chu, I think you already know about the little disagreement between County Magistrate Chu and I. I wonder if you have any opinions or ideas." Chu Yijun looked at Du Yan and paused slightly. , but then he returned to his previous calm look: "Du Yan, Minister Liang asked me to come over to visit you before. I have already talked with Secretary Li and others. Now I am here to see you on behalf of my father." Chu Chu said Yijun looked at Du Yan seriously, "Du Yan, I want to ask if there is any misunderstanding between you and Yilan. You don't have to worry about anything. Yilan is my sister. I know her character very well. Her personality Du Yan has a very strong personality, even a bit stubborn at times. It is precisely because of this that I told you when we met before, please take care of her. But Du Yan, now I want to ask if something happened between the two of you. Big contradiction." Looking at Chu Yijun's serious expression, Du Yan secretly thought about his words. Previously, because Chu Yilan was eager for success and wanted to intervene in the new district by building a chemical plant, this undoubtedly touched Du Yan's bottom line. In Du Yan's plan, the value of the new district was definitely not Daqing Qingguo Liquor. It is as simple as a factory, a ceramics industry in Liuliji and a transportation hub and distribution center in Shuangdui. Although these things have not only achieved initial results in the past two years, Pingling, a formerly famous poor county, is becoming a wealthy county step by step. Development, but these political achievements that are already remarkable in the eyes of others are not only insignificant in Du Yan's eyes, they don't even count as a start. What Du Yan is really concerned about is whether the new district can become a part of the central government's inter-provincial economic bridge plan! As early as more than two years ago, after meeting Song Jiayi by chance, Du Yan already knew that he might have seized a golden opportunity. Song Jiayi's arrival also meant that history was quietly changing. He would have missed Pingling. The provincial economic bridge plan may have a chance to reappear in front of Pingling people. The so-called inter-provincial economic bridge plan starts from several major coastal ports, based on existing road and railway facilities, and extends westward to connect all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions along the way. Based on this main line , forming a huge transportation network radiation surface in the inland provinces along the way, thus organically combining developed coastal cities and inland provinces into a huge system with raw material supply and technological processing as the joint development trend! Such a system, anyone who joinsThe coming regions will benefit a lot as if they have boarded the fast-developing economic express train. The planned establishment of this inter-provincial economic bridge line in Pingling is what Du Yan has been working hard for, and the new district is The key to this effort! Because of this, for Du Yan, all previous efforts were just efforts and foundations to attract this huge project. More importantly, as far as he knew, due to some special reasons, the cross-provincial economic bridge plan has never been completed. From the beginning, we will avoid some inland areas where relatively complete modern heavy industry and chemical industries have been established in the early stage. Du Yan thought quickly in his heart. He knew that his unintentional encounter with Chu Yilan was certainly a good opportunity for him to climb the big tree of the Chu family in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of those familiar with the inside story , but it feels somewhat off-flavored. "Brother Chu, things have to be divided. It's hard for County Magistrate Chu and I to say who saved who this time. It can be said that we all shared the same adversity," Du Yan said calmly, "As for work, Brother Chu, I would like to take the liberty of asking, what does Secretary Chu think of his previous inter-provincial railway plan? " Du Yan's words made Chu Yijun's eyebrows move. His eyes were similar to Chu Yilan's and were inherited from his mother. He squinted slightly, and a trace of gloom passed over his slightly feminine face. "Du Yan, my father is very optimistic about you," Chu Yijun said calmly, "especially your vision. Speaking of which, you probably know that Secretary Pingling Ding is an old subordinate of my father, and he respects you very much. , I think that you not only have keen observation skills, but also have the ability to grasp the key to things, so because of this, my father thinks that you can try it out on your own. " Du Yan sat on the bed and listened with a smile. , but his heart was by no means as calm as he showed on his face. Whether it is the intervention of the Song family or Gao Ke's re-launch of the inter-provincial railway and the revitalization of Hexi in order to take over the factional power of local cadres, all of this is not only inextricably linked to Chu Ping, but also if you look carefully After thinking about it, Du Yan was surprised to find that many seemingly coincidental things actually had some inevitable connections that were not easily noticed by others, and Chu Ping was the key to these connections. Even the new district he built in Pingling, in a sense, does not seem to be completely separated from the various extensions and assumptions made by Chu Ping in his early years to establish the inter-provincial railway plan. "Du Yan, Yilan lacks work experience, so she may be a little impatient in some places. You should help her more in this regard." Chu Yijun still said in a gentle tone. Speaking of Du Yan's constant attitude towards Chu Yijun, In fact, he has some scruples in his calm attitude. If he really had to choose between the two brothers-in-law, he would rather face Zhao Youxun, who is open and closed, and straightforward, than deal with Zhao Youxun, who is always gentle and calm. Dealing with Chu Yijun, who seemed to be looking for someone to take advantage of at any time. "Also, if you have any questions, you can come to me directly. If the situation is very complicated, I can also convey it. After all, this is not a big contradiction. There is no need to alarm even Governor Yang." Here, Chu Yijun stopped and looked at Du Yan. Although his expression was peaceful, Du Yan still felt a hint of dissatisfaction in it. In other words, this was the real purpose of Chu Yijun's visit to him this time. Du Yan nodded silently. He knew that after saying so much, Chu Yijun finally revealed what was in his heart to him. Before, when Chu Yilan revealed that he wanted to intervene in the new district, Du Yan did not go to Ding Bingxian or Chu Yijun, or even indirectly revealed to Chu Ping through the Song family his dissatisfaction with Chu Yilan's extended reach. Unexpectedly, the situation was revealed to the Executive Vice Governor Yang Weiquan. Let¡¯s not talk about what this means to Chu Ping. At least for Chu Yijun, Du Yan¡¯s move was a bit difficult for him to accept! In Chu Yijun's view, Du Yan was undoubtedly using Yang Weiquan to exert power or even pressure on him, which naturally made Chu Yijun feel unhappy. Although Zhang Yu had a good reputation, or perhaps it was because of Du Yan's somewhat complicated background. relationship, but Chu Yijun might as well take this opportunity to give himself some warning simply as Chu Yilan's brother and Chu Ping's son. "Director Chu," Du Yan suddenly changed his title to Chu Yijun. He and Chu Yijun looked at each other, "I don't think I did anything inappropriate in this matter. I don't think even Secretary Chu would think that I Is there anything inappropriate about his behavior? " Chu Yijun frowned. He didn't expect that something he thought was very simple would actually get stuck unexpectedly with Du Yan. Speaking of which, he had a good impression of Du Yan, whether it was because of Liang Benchu ??looked at Du Yan in a different light because he vaguely heard from his father that he seemed to be concerned about the young man's tricks. Chu Yijun felt that there was still some room for discussion between him and Du Yan. But he didn't expect that Du Yan would immediately put on an unyielding posture as soon as he gave a hint of warning.??, even faintly, there was a hint in his words that he was protecting Chu Yilan. "Okay, Director Du," Chu Yijun's title also changed. He stood up and looked at Du Yan sitting on the bed, and then said in a sincere tone, "No matter what, you saved Yi Jun." "It's a fact. Our Chu family will never forget this favor." Listening to Chu Yijun's words that vaguely clarified the relationship, Du Yan smiled noncommittally when he saw Chu Yijun walking out of the door. At that time, he was thinking to himself: "Master Chu, if you want the Chu family to sever ties with me, you must first ask your sister if she agrees." But what surprised Chu Yijun was that when he passed After reporting the unpleasant conversation with Du Yan to his father, there was a brief silence on the phone. Chu Yijun waited with the receiver in his hand. He knew that his father was thinking about what he said, but what made him a little strange was that although his father seemed a little dull on the outside, he was actually quick-thinking and scheming. This time he was thinking about it. Some were longer than he expected. It wasn't until a while later that Chu Yijun's familiar voice came from the microphone: "Yijun, let's put this matter aside for now. You can go back to the provincial capital." Hearing his father's words, Chu Yijun was slightly agitated. Somewhat surprised, he responded respectfully, and then slowly put down the phone until he heard the busy signal from the phone. Apart from the scratches on his body, the only important thing on Du Yan's body was the wound on his foot that was punctured by a branch. After taking anti-inflammatory injections and losing several bottles of glucose, his physical strength has gradually recovered. I just don¡¯t know whether Li Peizheng did it intentionally or unintentionally. When he explained to the people in Qiujia¡¯ao who wanted to express their gratitude to Du Yan, he said that Du Yan was still very weak and could not be disturbed, so except for some village cadres, Qiujia¡¯ao The other people in Jia'ao were kept outside and did not see Du Yan. Du Yan was very happy to see Qiu Lianfu and several village representatives. He said that the meeting with Chu Yijun just now made him very unhappy. Although he said that he saved Chu Yilan purely out of instinct and never asked for repayment. Thoughts, but now he really has to think about how to use this unexpected gain. This made Du Yan somewhat disgusted, so when he saw Qiu Lianfu and the others, looking at the simple and sincere expressions on the faces of these villagers, Du Yan couldn't help but feel like he could take a breather. "Director Du," Qiu Lianfu came over to hold Du Yan's hand, but when he saw the glucose syringe on Du Yan's arm, he immediately retracted it, "Director Du, it's great that you're okay. Speaking of which, you have some ups and downs. "We, the people of Qiu Jia'ao, are short of great virtue." "Lao Qiu, don't talk nonsense. I tell you, if I can't protect you as a cadre, I will be short of great virtue." Du Yan raised his hand. As soon as he stopped Qiu Lianfu, he knew that all the official talk in front of these villagers was nonsense. At the same time, he couldn't help but think of the endless bizarre stories of officials in later generations who were exposed on the Internet when they faced the masses. Weird theory. "Director Du, Mayor Mao originally wanted to see you, but he was injured and didn't come." Qiu Lianfu whispered, but the slight twinkle in his eyes still caught Du Yan's eyes . "Lao Qiu, are you hiding something from me?" Du Yan asked. His direct inquiry would not be very appropriate in normal times, but at this time, he seized the opportunity due to his power, so Qiu Lianfu, who had already obeyed the order, was at a loss at first, and then his face turned red and he couldn't say a word. "What's wrong with Mayor Mao? Is he sick again?" Du Yan remembered that Mayor Mao had undergone surgery before, and couldn't help but asked anxiously. "Director Du, this, how can I say this," Qiu Lianfu finally gritted his teeth after holding it in for a while, "Director Du, I heard that Mayor Mao didn't listen to you in the past, but this time he also fought for the big guys. He was bleeding, and he didn't pretend to be cowardly as you asked him to. "What's the matter? What's wrong with Lao Mao?" Du Yan's expression changed. "Mayor Mao was injured while rescuing people when he retreated, and then he followed everyone to the county town. But not long after entering the county town, comrades from the county discipline inspection commission came to Mayor Mao and said they wanted to ask him about some issues. "Qiu Lianfu finally said after holding it in for a long time, "I don't know what Ji said. As soon as the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission left, Lao Mao just lay in bed without eating or drinking. It's been two days and everyone in Lao Mao's family is almost dying. His mother-in-law wants to see the county leaders, but they are so busy at this time that she can't see them. Director Du, you are the leader, but you have to make the decision for Lao Mao. " Listening to Qiu Lianfu's words, Du Yan couldn't help but feel. Suddenly, he knew that Huang Zhiguo, Secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, was not a good person. He was almost tortured by his subordinates at the beginning, but nowWhen I think about it, no matter what problems Lao Mao has committed in Huang Zhiguo's hands, it would be weird if he didn't have his skin peeled off. It stands to reason that Mayor Mao belongs to Guo Songlin, and Du Yan should be happy when something happens to him. Even if Guo Songlin can be implicated in this, it would be a better outcome. However, everyone has feelings. When Lao Mao was fighting the flood Du Yan saw his performance, not to mention that he was injured in order to save others, which made Du Yan feel that he had to take care of it. But although this matter has been remembered in his heart, Du Yan remained calm. Seeing Qiu Lianfu leaving with the villagers slightly disappointed, Du Yan felt helpless. After all, he was no longer the kind of person who could just ignore it on the levee. At that time, this made Du Yan even miss the short but precious sincerity between people at that time. Su Qian walked into the room and saw the thoughtful look on Du Yan's face. She walked aside and sat down without disturbing him. "Qianqian, are people sometimes hypocritical?" Du Yan asked casually, but then he felt that he was not only stupid but even a little bit offensive for asking Su Qian this question. "It's not sometimes, it's all the time," Su Qian said casually, "I remember an ancient master said, 'I am not myself, I am him'? Doesn't this mean that everyone is pretending to be someone they are not at any time?" "" Hearing Su Qian's words, Du Yan looked at Su Qian in surprise, then nodded slightly. "Du Yan, please don't be too tired sometimes. Although you can't completely become yourself, at least you can relax with me." Su Qian said softly, raising her hand to slowly touch Du Yan's forehead, Then he stood up and leaned against the bed, gently holding his body in his arms. "Thank you Qianqian." Du Yan said softly. He knew that maybe he could only feel some real relaxation here with Su Qian, while in other places he always wore masks with various identities. . Sun Xiaopeng brought greetings from Zhao Youxun, but Zhao Youxun did not come to visit in person. Compared with his anxiety when he heard that Du Yan was in danger, Zhao Youxun seemed a little colder. However, Du Yan knew the reason why Zhao Youxun did this. Although it is not taboo for local leaders to have a harmonious relationship with military cadres, both Zhao Youxun and now Du Yan have some things that need to be avoided because of their complicated backgrounds. If you are too close, it may not be an excuse to talk in the eyes of some people. Compared with Du Yan, Chu Yilan's life was much more comfortable. Chu Yilan recovered much faster than Du Yan. Except for some hidden injuries that were really not humane, she was just too much. She was overtired and had some typhoid fever, but after careful treatment by the doctor, she was mostly recovered. So after being in a coma for more than a day, Chu Yilan's energy recovered early. During this period, except for some leaders such as Li Peizheng, only her brother Chu Yijun came to see her. However, according to the nurse who took care of her, the calls that had been concerned about her condition came one after another. This made her Those nurses took great care of Chu Yilan and did not dare to ignore her at all. Chu Yilan wanted to go see Du Yan, but she gave up the idea after hearing that Du Yan's fianc¨¦e was coming. At the same time, she also warned herself in her heart not to get deeper into trouble. Although the relationship between herself and Du Yan was The relationship has become irretrievably complicated, but we must not continue to be entangled just because of this. Chu Yilan saw Du Yan again in the evening of the next day after being rescued, and she was attracted by Du Yan's angry roar. "Why?!" Walking to the door of the room, Chu Yilan heard Du Yan's extremely angry and even slightly sad roar. When she saw Du Yan standing on the ground, his eyes fixed on Ding Bingxian in front of him as he questioned. As he spoke, Chu Yilan couldn't help but be stunned. "Xiao Du, calm down. Things have already gone like this. I can understand your mood." Ding Bingxian was not unhappy because of Du Yan's gaffe. He just raised his hand and shook it, as if he wanted to calm Du Yan down. "Secretary Ding, you don't understand!" Du Yan only glanced at Chu Yilan who was standing at the door, and continued to say to Ding Bingxian, "What's wrong with Lao Mao? Is there a problem? Then investigate it, arrest it if it's necessary, and sentence it if it's necessary. That's He deserves it! But he also did his job and saved people. Why don't you admit it? " "Secretary Ding, what's wrong?" Seeing Du Yan's red eyes, Chu Yilan immediately walked into the room. , she really didn¡¯t want to see any conflicts between the two people. "Oh, Yilan, you came just in time. I was just about to find you. It's about Mayor Mao." Ding Bingxian looked at Chu Yilan and sighed slightly. "This afternoon, Mayor Mao's old illness suddenly relapsed. He was admitted to the county hospital. Passed away. " "Ah!" Chu Yilan's face turned pale and she couldn't help but look at Du Yan. "Secretary Ding is here to ask me about"It's Lao Mao's opinion on funeral arrangements," Du Yan said with a burst of sadness in his eyes, "Secretary Ding, I still think it should be clearly recognized that Lao Mao sacrificed his life because of fighting floods and rescuing people. This is fair, and this is the evaluation of Lao Mao." " "Xiao Du, there is a decision about this county," Du Yan shook his head. "In view of some information that the county Commission for Discipline Inspection has grasped, it is not suitable to publicize this matter, so it needs to be low-key. After all, this involves the Pingling County Committee. As for the reputation of the county government, we must know that once the investigation of the Discipline Inspection Commission is true and let people know that one of our high-profile flood-fighting heroes actually has economic and lifestyle problems, we will be very passive. " "So we have to obliterate the good things Lao Mao has done? " Du Yan asked sternly. "Du Yan, why are you talking to Uncle Ding?" Hearing Du Yan's unkind tone, Chu Yilan scolded her without thinking about it. Then she realized that the tone of her words was wrong and immediately Then he said, "Director Du, you are also the leader of the county committee and you should understand that the county made such a decision to take into account the image of the county committee and county government. " "I understand, I understand," Du Yan had calmed down at this time. He raised his head and asked Ding Bingxian, "Secretary Ding, who will attend the memorial service? " "Director Xiangdong will participate on behalf of the county committee and county government. "Ding Bingxian said. "I will also participate," Du Yan said in an unquestionable tone. "We must let the people who have participated in the flood fight understand clearly and not let them feel cold. " Listening to Du Yan's voice full of grief and indignation, Ding Bingxian frowned slightly, and then said, "I'll study it when I go back. " Then he said: "I have something to inform you this time. The superior leaders have given instructions regarding this flood relief and disaster relief. You must be a role model and you must be prepared. " Listening to Ding Bingxian's words, Du Yan snorted in his heart: "Sure enough, he's here. " Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 100 Condolences Mayor Mao's memorial service was very low-key. Apart from his own relatives, not many town officials came, and there were only a few elegiac wreaths. The wording was even more cautious. Most of them only expressed regret for the old man Mao's early death, but there was no one. As for people from other towns, fewer people came to comment on his past life. Only Tu Xiangdong, director of the county party committee office, came forward on behalf of the county committee and county government. Looking at such a scene, people with a little common sense can tell that something is wrong. What's more, the news that the cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission talked to Lao Mao alone has been spread a long time ago. As a courtesy, there are still some people who just want to watch the fun. Lao Mao's wife is an authentic rural woman, dark and thin, with a son and a daughter. The son has already gone to the county technical school, and the daughter is still in junior high school. At this time, their whole family is kneeling in front of the door in mourning robes. When someone comes, they kowtow deeply. Seeing that scene makes people feel a little miserable. Tu Xiangdong arrived early. Logically speaking, as a leader representing the county, there was no need to come so early. However, Tu Xiangdong not only wanted to express his condolences, but also wanted to warn Lao Mao's family not to do anything excessive. Meaning, so because of this, he came very early. It¡¯s just that he was in a room across the courtyard from Lao Mao¡¯s house at this time, and the person accompanying him was also Lao Mao¡¯s eldest brother. The Lao Mao family is not a big family, there are only two brothers. Lao Mao's brother has been doing business in other places, and now he has rushed back after hearing the news. Because he was away all the time, Lao Mao's brother's eyes were naturally very lively and thoughtful. Besides, he had already heard about the previous events, so he seemed cautious when accompanying Tu Xiangdong. After all, even though he has seen the scenes outside, he is basically based in Pingling. When facing the county master, he naturally does not dare to say anything big. Tu Xiangdong was actually a little tired of this job. After all, he had been working at the grassroots level. He turned a blind eye to many things. Lao Mao's matter was either big or small. Besides, now that the people are gone, if he continues If you do it too much, it will make others feel a little chilled. The so-called rabbit dies and the fox is sad. Seeing the miserable appearance of Lao Mao's family, Tu Xiangdong felt a little emotional. It¡¯s just that this time is a very critical moment, and it is somewhat out of control. Because the terrain of Qiujia'ao was originally low, although the Xiaoqing River burst and flooded Qiujia'ao, the flood formed a huge flood discharge embankment along the entire basin near Qiujia'ao. As a result, the flood force impacted downstream. Instead, it slowed down somewhat. The original intention of the superiors at the beginning was to sacrifice some places along the coast and release floodwaters to protect some important cities and industrial bases downstream. However, they did not make a final decision because they considered the possible damage caused by flood releases. . When the Qiujiaao embankment bursts, the first thing people pay attention to is what kind of consequences it will cause. After knowing that the flood will not spread, an important question is placed in front of us, that is, how many casualties there will be. ¡°If the casualties are too large, no matter how hard you try to handle it in a low-key manner, it will not work. Not only will someone be responsible for taking off the hat, but if necessary, someone will even have to risk being imprisoned and losing their head. But surprisingly, due to the low-lying terrain, casualties were unavoidable in Qiujia'ao. Except for some injuries, no one died. This surprised Taihua and the province at first, and then they immediately realized that this was a model that set an example. The perfect opportunity. What makes many people even more satisfied is that during this flood fight, the two members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee of Pingling County took the lead. They even almost died when they were washed away by the flood in order to protect the lives and property of the people. These two so typical It can be said that the positive image completely offsets the negative impact caused by the breach of the embankment that may lead to investigation by superiors. After all, if we look deeper, no matter what the reason is, the levee always broke in the Taihua section. Even the relevant leaders in Taihua City must bear certain leadership responsibilities. Now things are better, and bad things have changed. It turned out to be a good thing, and everyone who might be involved in it also had a good result. This made Taihua, from Cui Jianbin to Ren Shuqiang, to many people below, somewhat relieved. Besides, judging from various signs after the incident, whether it was Chu Yilan or Du Yan, the energy behind it has been revealed from this emergency. If the responsibility is really investigated, I really don¡¯t know what to do. . This was originally a happy outcome, but Lao Mao's sudden death made things a little complicated. Many people are aware of what Lao Mao did in the flood fight, but it is true that his earlier economic and lifestyle issues have already been targeted by Huang Zhiguo's County Commission for Discipline Inspection. This makes this person a bit difficult, and He suddenly relapsed and died at this time, which not only made people unable to cope with it for a while.Later, there were even some secret rumors, which made the county feel passive. "Boss Mao, Mayor Mao has gone. From now on, Mayor Mao and his family will need you to take care of them," Tu Xiangdong picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. "The county still cares about Mayor Mao's family. Secretary Li and County Magistrate Guo asked me to come and take a look on behalf of the county committee and county government. If you have any reasonable requests, just put them forward and the county will help you solve them if they can. " "Thank you, Secretary Li and County Magistrate Guo, and thank you, Director Tu, and the leaders. "Care," after all, he has been away for many years, and Boss Mao is also very good at making some polite remarks. He paused and looked at Tu Xiangdong's expression, and then said carefully, "Director Tu, you see our second son is gone. This is our family." The mainstay, the children are still young now, especially the second girl has just entered junior high school, but the eldest child has been in the county technical school for more than a year. As long as he comes out, he can stir up half the family. Look at this" "It's the old man. Is there a problem with Mao's son's work?" Tu Xiangdong asked calmly. Seeing a flattering smile on Boss Mao's face, Tu Xiangdong nodded, "I can report this matter to the county, and it can be regarded as a solution for Lao Mao. "Thank you, Director Tu. There is one more thing. The second girl is going to junior high school, isn't she? Can the county make arrangements for her to go directly to the city's No. 1 Middle School? After all, now Once the backbone of the family is gone, the child can no longer concentrate on studying as usual, so he wants the county to take care of it." Tu Xiangdong thought for a moment and then glanced at Boss Mao: "Old Mao, I can't decide this. You should also understand that it is not a big problem to enter the county high school, but it is not the county that has the final say. I can only say that I hope you don't have high hopes. " "Director Tu. We can't thank you enough for saying this, please take more trouble, please take more trouble," Mr. Mao couldn't help but nodded. He took out the cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Tu Xiangdong with both hands, lit it for him again, and then Boss Mao secretly glanced at Tu Xiangdong's expression again, and continued, "There is one more thing, which is the pension and subsidy for my second son. I want to know what the county's regulations are." Tu Xiangdong paused slightly with the hand holding the cigarette. He knew that the trouble this time was not small. It seemed that Boss Mao was not a fool. He made other requests first and then made the most critical ones when they were almost done. At least this way, he would not be stuck from the beginning. Then Things will be difficult to handle later. "Boss Mao, I think you must have heard something about Lao Mao," Tu Xiangdong stood up and walked to the door. He looked at the houses in the yard and snorted slightly, "These houses are well built, no. "It's less money." Boss Mao couldn't help but twitch on his face. He immediately came over and showed a forced smile to Tu Xiangdong: "Director Tu, don't get me wrong. I lent the money to our second son to build this house. It has a clean origin. "Don't worry too much." "Oh, Boss Mao, there is a saying that the brothers will settle the accounts. Do you have a receipt for lending Lao Mao such a sum of money to build a house? Since you heard about it, In his case, if there is evidence, it will be considered as helping his family. After all, due to some problems, there are some things that are unclear. This also affects the pension issue of Lao Mao you just mentioned. " "Director Tu, No, is this really what the county has done? "Boss Mao's face changed slightly. "Director Tu, our second son got sick because he was injured while fighting a flood." "Boss Mao, you are also working in the outside world. He is such a person, and he looks like he has never seen the world." Although Tu Xiangdong felt helpless, his face became gloomy. "You should know that with Lao Mao's problems, the County Commission for Discipline Inspection just talked to him. I have taken good care of him. I suppressed it because I saw him working hard to fight the flood but suffered from bad health. Do you still want to fight for pensions and compensation? Do you think this is realistic? " Tu Xiangdong's words made Mao Boss? His face was red, he held it in for a while and just about to speak, a loud noise came into the house from outside. This sudden noise made the two people look at each other and walked out of the house one after another. Tu Xiangdong was just trying to calm things down this time, so when he walked out of the house, he couldn't help but worry secretly. If something unexpected happened in Lao Mao's mourning hall, the matter would be a bit big. Seeing Tu Xiangdong, people moved out of the way. When he walked into the mourning hall through the small door at the back and saw Du Yan walking in from the outside, Tu Xiangdong couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. Everyone in the mourning hall watched Du Yan slowly enter. When they saw Du Yan¡¯s car just now, some people thought it might be someone sent by Du Yan to express condolences. It can be said that Lao Mao stayed with Du Yan through adversity, but Lao Mao's death was somewhat ignominious. Du Yan sent his district party committee director, or just a driver to come over to visit and express condolences, which was considered as a kind gesture. Already recited the incense love.   But when they saw Du Yan getting out of the car, everyone who knew him couldn't help but be shocked, especially those cadres who were standing in twos and threes outside the mourning hall talking and laughing, and some were even discussing that it was really the right time for Lao Mao to die. The time was so stunned that one person even accidentally dropped the cigarette from his mouth to the ground without even realizing it. Perhaps because of the weird looks on the faces of the people around him, Lao Mao's wife knelt on the ground and stared blankly at Du Yan, who slowly walked in, while her pair of children stared at this person who looked older than him with wary faces. They were young men not much older. Lao Mao's disgraceful death has caused countless looks to his family, and the expressions of many people who expressed condolences made them deeply feel the sadness of human feelings. Although they don't recognize this person now, But from the looks on the faces of the people around, we could tell that the young man had a good background. Lao Mao's family couldn't help but panic, not knowing what would happen next. "Director Du, is it really Director Du?" "Director Du, what are you doing? He doesn't know Lao Mao" "Can you not know, good guy, you can see now." People were talking quietly, some A clever female cadre immediately came to Lao Mao's wife in a few steps, bent down and whispered: "Sister-in-law, don't be stunned, Director Du is here, why don't you take the child to kowtow to Director Du." Lao Mao's wife Wei Wei nodded in a daze. Although she was confused and didn't know who the director was, she heard the anxious words of the female cadre and knew that the person in front of her must be someone with a background. She immediately stretched out her hand and knelt down. The children on both sides kowtowed to Du Yan. "Sister-in-law, my condolences." Du Yan stood in front of Lao Mao's wife and bowed slightly. According to the rules of the village, you cannot stop the bereaved family. "Director Du," Tu Xiangdong came over at this time. He turned around and said to Lao Mao and his family, who were still a little confused, "Director Du is a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, the director of the new district, and the leader of the county. He came to visit your family. "Ah, leader!" Lao Mao's wife immediately became excited. She only knew that Tu Xiangdong was the big leader of the county, just like the county magistrate. Now that she saw that even Tu Xiangdong called this young man "director", it was obvious that he was really Great leader. She panicked and pulled her children to kneel down again, but this time she was stopped by Du Yan. "Sister-in-law, I don't dare." Du Yan took back his hand and looked at the miserable expressions of the family in front of him. Du Yan turned around and came to the coffin. Looking at the black and white photo of Lao Mao in the mourning hall, Du Yan first bowed deeply, and then Holding the coffin with both hands, she let out a suppressed cry: "Lao Mao!" Following Du Yan's actions, Lao Mao's wife could no longer restrain herself. With her hoarse cry, the entire mourning hall fell into mourning. In the mist. Seeing this scene, the people nearby couldn't help but be stunned. No one could have imagined that Du Yan not only expressed condolences to Lao Mao in person, but even cried in public. This move can be said to have completely subverted people's original belief that Lao Mao's matter was settled this way. idea. Many people couldn¡¯t help but secretly wonder, is it possible for Lao Mao to make a comeback? A group of people cheered and gathered around, "Director Du, my condolences", "Director Du, don't be too sad", "Lao Mao knows that you miss me so much, he should be satisfied" and comforting voices came one after another. The enthusiasm was different from the previous cold-eyed jokes. It was completely different. Lao Mao and his family were thrown aside. Boss Mao rolled his eyes slightly. He didn't know where Du Yan's leader came from, but even Tu Xiangdong was very polite to Du Yan. He thought that this young leader must have a lot of background. Now he saw Du Yan in this scene. , Boss Mao immediately came forward. Although he couldn't squeeze in with the cadres, he followed behind and kept urging him. Tu Xiangdong frowned secretly. He had heard Ding Bingxian mention Du Yan's request for condolences before. Neither Li Peizheng nor Guo Songlin had officially expressed their stance, so Tu Xiangdong was not surprised by Du Yan's appearance, but he did not expect Du Yan. There will be such a commotion. "Director Du, let's go to the back and take a rest first." Tu Xiangdong said to Du Yan, and at the same time he quickly winked at Mr. Mao who was following him. "That's right, Director Du, you see what I say on this hot day, go to the back and rest first," Boss Mao hurriedly came over and greeted, "It's an honor for our Mao family that you can come. Our second brother is down there. Thank you." You." "Don't say that, Lao Mao, I'm here to see him off." Du Yan shook his head. He signaled to Han Qiushi who was following him, and then led the way into the cross-yard with Tu Xiangdong. Han Qiushi walked to Lao Mao's wife and saw her coming to collect Sang Yi's account. He took out two envelopes and said in a slightly lowered voice. The bookkeeper immediately showed a surprised look on his face. He looked back with some excitement at first.He looked at Lao Mao's wife and quickly wrote down two entries in his notebook. Han Qiushi looked at the look on the bookkeeper's face and gave up the thought of giving him a few more words of advice, because he knew that there were some things that he couldn't control. Sure enough, as the bookkeeper immediately said a few words to Lao Mao's wife, not long after, another news spread that surprised the people present. Although they did not come to express their condolences, Chu County, member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, executive deputy county magistrate The elder also entrusted Director Du to send greetings to Lao Mao's family and also sent a tribute. And in the courtyard, Boss Mao, who was standing respectfully, was quietly looking at the expressions of the two leaders with an uneasy expression. "Boss Mao, the county has made it very clear about Lao Mao's pension and funeral arrangements before. I don't think you have any illusions about this," Tu Xiangdong's face was not very good. It was not that he meant to be like this, but because of Du Yan The appearance of "The County" made him feel that it was necessary to be stricter and not let the Mao family mistakenly think that there was any improvement. "The county can solve it for you without losing money, but if you make unreasonable or even unreasonable demands, it is unrealistic." "How can we, Director Tu, don't get me wrong, how can we do that, right, Director Du?" Boss Mao said the last sentence to Du Yan. Du Yan ignored Boss Mao. He had done his best for Lao Mao. No matter what, Lao Mao was already dead. Now he would not be able to do anything for Lao Mao's family, not to mention Lao Mao's life. It is true that something is wrong with him, not to mention that he has no such friendship after all. Seeing that he had hit a soft nail, Boss Mao became embarrassed. He originally thought that Director Du should have a close relationship with his second son, but now he saw that he was ignoring him, and thinking about it carefully , I had never heard my brothers mention knowing such a leader before, which made Boss Mao a little at a loss. "Well, it's okay to stay with us all the time. You have to support us outside," Tu Xiangdong said to Boss Mao, "Director Du and I still have something to talk about." Boss Mao immediately nodded in support and retreated. After going out and looking at the closed door, Tu Xiangdong watched Du Yan pause for a moment, then shook his head helplessly: "Xiao Du, you are posing a problem for me." Listening to Tu Xiangdong's slightly complaining tone, Du Yan smiled slightly As soon as he smiled, he knew that Tu Xiangdong's somewhat pretentious words actually contained a vague intention of not being acquainted with him. It's just that Tu Xiangdong has always been deep-tempered, and he always reserves steps for doing things, and will not completely cut off his own retreat, so although he shows his closeness, he doesn't completely make it clear. Although this makes people somewhat uneasy about him, as long as he Always strong, Tu Xiangdong is also an obedient and smart man. "Lao Tu, this is the last time I've done my best for Lao Mao, and it's not in vain that we have been through adversity together," Du Yan said lightly, "That's just how people are, you have to show some kindness. Lao Mao has his own problems." , but you can¡¯t erase the good things he has done just because of this.¡± At this point, Du Yan glanced at Tu Xiangdong, ¡°I heard that the family of the child who was saved by Lao Mao was coming to mourn, and you sent someone to stop him. "Is that so?" Tu Xiangdong smiled bitterly: "I can't help it. If I really want that family to come over, what do you mean by Lao Mao's silence? I can't convince anyone." Nodding, he can only do this for Lao Mao, and seriously speaking, he can do this, of course, because Lao Mao had a reason to follow him to save the levee, and also because he has always been unruly. Even the city leaders dared to give him a "reckless reputation" that he could not stand down, which became the reason for him to act "recklessly". On the contrary, Chu Yilan must not appear at Lao Mao's funeral hall, otherwise things will become complicated, and even if you are not careful, it may be regarded as a symbol of major differences and conflicts among the county party committee leaders. "Xiao Du, I heard that you are going to the province in the next few days?" Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Tu Xiangdong finally got to the point, "I heard that this advanced report meeting on flood control and disaster relief was long enough. Yes, and there will be a training class next. Maybe it will be National Day when you come back." Listening to Tu Xiangdong's hint, Du Yan stopped tapping his fingers on the edge of the teacup: "Less than two months. Time, Lao Tu, do you think there will be any changes in Pingling when I come back? " Tu Xiangdong's expression froze. At this time, he could no longer figure out what kind of power was behind Du Yan. From falling into the water to being treated, this In just two or three days, he had already discovered the depth of the relationship behind Du Yan, which even made him feel a little scared. So when Du Yan suddenly said this, Tu Xiangdong didn't think it was a lie at all. Instead, he thought that Du Yan obviously said this after hearing some rumors. "Xiao Du, I haven't had any ambitions in recent years. I may have to rely on you to take care of me from now on."?Xiangdong smiled at Du Yan. Seeing that Tu Xiangdong still had such a slippery and unrestrained attitude, Du Yan frowned slightly: "Old Tu, I'm not talking about you. Sometimes people have to make a decision. They are always so worried about trying to please everyone, and in the end they often end up making a decision. It's just that the gain outweighs the loss. " Du Yan's words made Tu Xiangdong's expression change instantly. He never expected that Du Yan would suddenly make it clear! ¡° Tu Xiangdong¡¯s attitude has always been clear to all leaders who have experienced him, but because of this, no one has really pointed it out, and no one has tried to completely pull him into their own camp. Because no one knows whether the guarantee made by Tu Xiangdong is reliable, instead of that, it is better to just let him be the responsible director of the county party committee office. Tu Xiangdong himself has long been accustomed to this kind of situation where he has both sides. He even thinks that this is the reason why he has always been smooth sailing. However, he did not expect that Du Yan would suddenly break through his layer of protection, and even said so You're welcome. It¡¯s just that Tu Xiangdong was not angry, but surprised. He didn¡¯t believe that Du Yan didn¡¯t understand the true meaning of his attitude, and he didn¡¯t believe that Du Yan was so shrewd that he couldn¡¯t imagine why the previous leader tolerated him so much. Unless, Du Yan is absolutely sure that he can conquer him this time! "Director Du, is there any news this time?" Tu Xiangdong asked tentatively. "I don't know the specifics, but judging from the importance the relevant leaders attach to Pingling, maybe there will be some big changes in Pingling." Du Yan gave Tu Xiangdong a noncommittal smile. He knew that some words were true. That's it. As for whether Tu Xiangdong is willing to learn this trick, it depends on him. After coming out of Lao Mao's house, Du Yan sat in the car and meditated silently. Seeing him like this, Han Qiushi, who was sitting in front, whispered to the driver to drive along the Xiaoqing River towards the county town. After a flood, the Xiaoqing River was no longer as clear as before and looked much turbid. The car drove slowly along the river until Du Yan signaled the car to stop. Han Qiushi accompanied Du Yan to the river. Looking at the passing river water, Du Yan let out a breath. "Qiushi, I may leave Pingling temporarily for a while in the next few days," Du Yan turned around and said to Han Qiushi helplessly, "I really didn't expect that a flood would cause so many changes." Han Qiushi nodded slightly, he knew Du Yan His departure was nominally to promote flood relief, but in fact some people wanted to take the opportunity to refrigerate him. After all, a young and promising cadre who is supported by the masses is somewhat of a threat to others, so it is also an official rule to cool down temporarily to let the temperature drop. "You have to work more hard during this period," Du Yan smiled at Han Qiushi and said, "After I leave, there may be some noise, but don't worry, wait for me to come back. Then we will have a big fight with him." "Okay director. , we are waiting for you to come back." Han Qiushi replied with the same smile. Seeing Han Qiushi's calm and confident expression, Du Yan felt happy in his heart, Han Qiushi, he was indeed right! On August 17, 1992, Du Yan left Pingling and rushed to Tongyang, the provincial capital. There, new challenges are waiting for him. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 101: Entering the Provincial Party School Again With a backpack on his shoulder, Du Yan stood at an intersection on Xinhua Street. This is the busiest commercial street in Tongyang City. Unlike South Street and the Bell and Drum Tower, which have accumulated a rich culture over the years, Xinhua Road is the central area that has emerged in Tongyang in recent decades. And just in the past two years, this place has become an area representing fashion and high consumption in Tongyang. ??????????????????????????????? Xinhua Road is a bit chaotic at this time, with fences and barriers erected at the intersection, and dusty trucks and workers busy going back and forth are everywhere. The original asphalt road has been dug up in patches, and various pipes are exposed under the dug tunnels. Under the scorching sun, the entire street looks like it is completely filled with a big ball of dry air. It looks like it's wrapped in smoke. Several passers-by passed by Du Yan. They had to cover their mouths and noses with their hands because they were too rustic, and they kept cursing in a low voice. "Digging again, why do I have no time to dig around all day long, waiting for someone to bury." A middle-aged woman muttered angrily, wiping the dust on her leather bag. "I heard that some kind of pedestrian street is going to be built. From now on, Xinhua Road will no longer be accessible to cars. Didn't the bus stop have to be relocated without seeing the sign?" another woman said. "The whole street can only be used by people and not by cars. What's that? Is it still called a road?" The woman from before asked in shock. ¡°It seems like this, from now on the whole road can only be used by pedestrians, so it¡¯s called a pedestrian street, and it seems that some big shops in Tongyang will be opened on this road. I guess this place will be overcrowded on Sundays. "Because there was an audience, the woman immediately felt proud as she explained nonstop, which also attracted the attention of some other people nearby. Listening to the comments of the people next to him, Du Yan smiled slightly. He did not expect that Qiao Luowei was really generous. In his original idea, he just suggested to the Tongyang Municipal Government to design a section of the road where the Huayang Commercial Building is located to be in line with the commercial building. The idea of ??a connected boutique pedestrian street, in the hands of Qiao Luowei, turned into simply involving the entire street. Although this street is not very long, it is the location of the busiest modern commercial street in Tongyang. With all kinds of shops lined up on both sides, Du Yan knew that only Qiao Luowei could do such a big deal. The domestic environment has always been like this. What determines the direction and development of the market is often not the market itself or strong capital, but the background behind it. If it had been anyone else, even with this large sum of money and sufficient funds, they would not have received support from Tongyang, let alone the merchants on the entire Xinhua Road involved. Du Yan was walking on the construction site. He had just asked someone before, but he heard that Qiao Luowei was at the construction site. What surprised Du Yan was that when he saw Qiao Luowei, he found that she was actually with a few foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes, all of whom were wearing safety helmets. If it weren't for the heat, the little girl would Zhu couldn't help but take off his helmet to wipe his sweat. He couldn't even see Qiao Luowei, who was blocked by those tall foreigners. "Xiao Zhu." Du Yan shouted as he walked over, but was immediately blocked by two men also wearing helmets. From the looks and movements on their faces, Du Yan immediately felt that these two men should be Qiao Luo. Vi's bodyguard. "Director Du," a look of joy appeared on Xiao Zhu's face. She immediately walked over and asked the two people to leave. Then she looked back and heard Du Yan's cry, and turned to Qiao Luowei, who was looking over here. Come on, have you recovered from the injury on your feet, and the place where you were hit on your back" "Xiao Zhu, I don't understand something Mr. Pauly said, please translate it," Qiao Luowei suddenly called out. . Hearing Qiao Luowei calling him, Xiao Zhu immediately stuck out his tongue at Du Yan: "I'm going to translate for Mr. Qiao, please wait a moment." Du Yan nodded, he knew that Xiao Zhu's English and German were very good. Yes, when I worked at Qixiashan Hotel, I should have been responsible for reading some foreign language newspapers for the leaders who stayed there. Du Yan followed and quickly heard that these foreigners were interested in the future business potential of Xinhua Road and wanted to invest in building a large-scale high-end hotel here in advance. This made Du Yan I admire the sensitive business sense of these foreigners. After all, in this era, the market for high-end hotels is not very prosperous, let alone in a mainland city like Tongyang. Listening to Xiao Zhu's fluent conversation with one of the foreigners, Du Yan looked around idly, and then he accidentally noticed the look Qiao Luowei glanced at him. Noticing the look in Qiao Luowei's eyes, Du Yan smiled slightly at her. Unexpectedly, Qiao Luowei turned his head away. Du Yan hit a soft nail, and couldn't help but feel a little disdainful on his face, so he turned his attention I focused on the conversation between Xiao Zhu and those foreigners. No?Soon, Du Yan discovered that something seemed wrong. "Mr. Qiao, can I have a word with you?" Du Yan asked politely, as if a primary school student was applying to the teacher for a speech. This made Qiao Luowei stunned and walked over helplessly. "Just tell me what you have to say." Qiao Luowei said lightly. She felt that she was becoming less and less able to control Du Yan now. At least the kind of rules and regulations in the past were becoming less and less. Thinking of the last time she went Pingling, this kid actually took advantage of him by shaking hands. Qiao Luowei felt that Du Yan was becoming more and more presumptuous. "What do these foreigners do?" Du Yan asked. "They have been constantly inquiring about the middle-class consumption level in Tongyang. I think this is not right." "Since we are opening a high-end hotel, it is normal to care about these things. "Yeah," Qiao Luowei looked at Du Yan with a slightly strange look. Although Du Yan was a little presumptuous now, he never acted mysteriously, which made Qiao Luowei couldn't help but pay attention, "Do you think they have other purposes?" "Medium consumption? Even if they are the main source of customers for the hotel, how many locals will stay in the hotel?" Du Yan smiled slightly, "I don't think their purpose is to open a hotel here, but for other reasons." "Then. What do you think they are going to do?" Qiao Luowei couldn't help but look confused. After all, the influence of her family over the years, coupled with the other party's Western background, naturally made her have certain associations with politics. "Don't be so nervous, Mr. Qiao, I think they are not a hostile force," Du Yan said casually, but when he saw Qiao Luowei's glare, he realized that his words were somewhat teasing." I mean they may actually have other business purposes, but they have kept it secret before. Speaking of which, there is a big gap between us and others in terms of awareness of keeping business secrets. " "Then what do you think their purpose is. What?" Qiao Luowei asked. The Xinhua Road Pedestrian Street project can be said to be her first formal cooperation with Vice Governor Yang Weiquan. In exchange for creating political achievements for Yang Weiquan¡¯s right-hand man, Tongyang City Mayor Han Jiaqi, Qiao Luowei spent a huge amount of money to take over Xinhua Road. Pedestrian street renovation project. However, Qiao Luowei naturally would not invest so much power just to help Yang Weiquan. After listening to Du Yan's suggestions for Huayang Commercial Building, she was keenly aware of what Du Yan said that made Huayang not Not only as a business, but also as a cultural origin that leads the fashion trends in the mainland. Because of this, Qiao Luowei simply expanded this idea several times based on Du Yan's idea. What she wanted to do was to build a high-consumption benchmark business district in Tongyang with Huayang as the center. Now that she heard Du Yan say that these foreigners seemed to have bad intentions, she naturally couldn't let them go easily. "Are they Germans?" Du Yan asked after listening for a while. He walked over slowly. After listening for a while, he suddenly turned back to Qiao Luowei and said, "I know what they do." After saying that, he tilted slightly Looking at Qiao Luowei, "Speaking of which, they may be your future competitors." "What?" Qiao Luowei was a little stunned. "I guess they run an international supermarket chain," Du Yan said with a smile, "That means there is a chance that they are market researchers sent by Wal-Mart." "Wal-Mart?" Qiao Luowei glanced at the supermarket in surprise. A foreigner, and then said in confusion, "It's impossible. Even if it wants to enter the country, it's impossible for Wal-Mart to open a store in Tongyang." Looking at Qiao Luowei's puzzled look, Du Yan also nodded slightly. Although he couldn¡¯t remember exactly when Wal-Mart first entered the country, he knew that Wal-Mart¡¯s earliest domestic supermarket was opened in the southern coastal special zone, and he also believed that even if history really changed, Wal-Mart would not have entered the domestic market in advance. It is very likely that I will choose a mainland city like Tongyang. But when he overheard someone calling the name of the foreigner who was talking to Xiao Zhu, Du Yan opened his mouth slightly, then turned back to Qiao Luowei and said, "Mr. Qiao, it seems you really want to have someone." Opponent, if I am not mistaken, this man named Pauli is currently a vice president of the German Wal-Mart Group. It is said that he once proposed a very unique business concept called enclosure movement, which is specially used when others are not optimistic about it. Local investment in advance allows local people to fully accept the commercial cultural influence that only comes from Wal-Mart." Du Yan looked at the foreigner and continued: "Mr. Qiao, it seems that your plan to renovate Xinhua Road Commercial Street is really alarming. You have attracted a lot of people, even the vice president of Wal-Mart. What are you going to do, Mr. Qiao? " "What nonsense," Qiao Luowei scolded coldly, seeing Du Yan's expression because he knew he had made a mistake. A slightly embarrassed look, ?Luo Wei's expression slowly calmed down, "Du Yan, thank you for reminding me, but I think this might be better. This shows that my commercial street plan does have great potential, and it's not in vain that I ran all the time just for this." "Hearing Qiao Luowei say that she went to the capital, Du Yan couldn't help but glance at her. Although he had something to say in his heart, it was not convenient at this time. Qiao Luowei obviously noticed that Du Yan was hesitant to speak. She pondered for a moment and then told Du Yan to wait while she walked over and said a few words to the Germans. Perhaps because she found out that she had been deceived, Qiao Luowei's expression was somewhat cold. After explaining a few words to Xiao Zhu, she found an excuse to leave with Du Yan, but she did not let the two bodyguards follow her. After signaling Du Yan to get in the car, he sat in the driver's seat. The car drove slowly along the street. Because school had not started yet, there were many parents taking their children for a walk. Looking at the families walking together, Qiao Luowei's eyes showed a rare warmth. meaning. Du Yan noticed Qiao Luowei's slightly different expression, which reminded him of Qiao Luowei's situation. Because of the early death of the Song family, Qiao Luowei did not give birth to a descendant of the Song family, which made her situation in the Song family somewhat delicate. After all, Qiao Luowei is still young. Unless she continues to be a widow, once she remarries one day, her relationship with the Song family will be a problem. Neither the Song family nor Qiao Luowei's future husband's family will accept it. Qiao Luowei is still in charge of such a huge industry for the Song family, so who will be able to replace Qiao Luowei? Song Jiayi? Du Yan quickly rejected the idea. The people of the Song family will not let Song Jiayi, the future helmsman of the Song family's economic empire, easily step into the front, so that if there is any trouble, there will be no way to retreat, so who will it be? ??Could it be that the Song family wants Qiao Luowei to recruit a "son-in-law"? Thinking of this, Du Yan suddenly felt an indescribable awkward feeling in his heart. Although he really couldn't figure out what made him unhappy, the thought did make him very uncomfortable. "What you said before is about forming an industrial, agricultural and commercial industrial chain. Do you have any more in-depth suggestions?" Qiao Luowei suddenly asked. "Yes," Du Yan calmed down and said, "I am making a more detailed plan in this regard. Speaking of which, the city has helped me a lot by letting me study at the provincial party school. This way I have time and The conditions allow this idea to form a complete system. ""You are really shameless about forming a system." Qiao Luowei smiled lightly. She slowly parked the car on the side of the road and looked at the street scene outside. He said, "Do you know that someone has already objected to or even criticized your restructuring plan?" "I don't know." Du Yan answered honestly. He really didn't have time to inquire about those things during this period, but he I knew that once the restructuring plan was thrown out, it was destined to cause an uproar. Because of this, although the Enterprise Reform Office in Pingling had been listed, except for the director of the office, Hu Weiping, who was busy with a bunch of juniors, there was no one else. At this time, no one knows what kind of "law reform" the Enterprise Reform Office is going to do. But the senior officials have obviously taken action after hearing the news, and even started fighting to the death. "Do you know what someone calls you?" Qiao Luowei showed a rare naughty smile, "Little Gorbachev." The corner of Du Yan's mouth cracked slightly. He knew that this nickname was not a good word. Thinking about it The person with the nickname is not even trying to praise him. Seeing the look on Du Yan's face, Qiao Luowei smiled again, but then changed the topic and asked: "How long will you study at the Provincial Party School this time?" "A month and a half." Du Yan said, before the flood fight After the Disaster Relief Model Meeting, Chu Yilan returned to Pingling, while Du Yan stayed behind to prepare for the first youth cadre training course of the provincial party school in the second half of the year. "That's just in time to catch up with Jiayi's wedding," Qiao Luowei nodded, then she looked down at Du Yan's legs slightly and asked in a casual tone, "Is the injury on your foot healed?" "Okay, actually it's not very serious," Du Yan nodded. "Fortunately, it was broken wood. If it was a rusty iron tool, the injury might have been infected at the time," Qiao Luowei said casually, but then she turned her head and started the car. Seeing Qiao Luowei like this, Du Yan was a little puzzled at first, and then his heart couldn't help but jump! He knew that Qiao Luowei had gone to the capital to coordinate the funds and steps to renovate the commercial street. Because of this, although he almost fell into the water and died, Qiao Luowei did not call to inquire, and he didn't really care. But he didn¡¯t expect that Qiao LuoweiBut knowing that he was injured on his foot, and even knowing that it was wood rather than iron that stabbed him, doesn't this mean that even in the capital, Qiao Luowei is actually extremely clear about his affairs? Seemingly sensing Du Yan's hot eyes, Qiao Luowei immediately explained: "It's Xiaoyun. I didn't know until Xiaoyun asked her brother." But after saying that, Qiao Luowei had another look on his face. Red, then she suddenly stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed out! Hexi Provincial Party School, looking at the magnificent line of inscriptions on the tall screen wall, Du Yan couldn't help but feel emotional. ¡°When he left the Provincial Party School more than a year ago, he was just a young boy who temporarily rose to prominence in the theoretical world because he wrote a few articles. But when he came back more than a year later, he was already an official student of this school. The Hexi Provincial Party School¡¯s youth cadre training courses are held four times a year, twice in the first and second half of the year. They are mainly aimed at young and middle-aged cadres at the county and division level in the province who have the potential to cultivate. ¡°It¡¯s just that although it¡¯s called the Qinggan Class, many of the people are quite old. Most of them are in their thirties, and some are even slightly bald. So standing among these people, even Du Yan himself felt a bit dazzling. Maybe it's because he has always looked a bit young, or simply because he was born with a baby face. It can be said that Du Yan has suffered a lot from his appearance several times, although now he will no longer be stopped by the guard when going to the municipal party committee compound. Outside, it would be embarrassing to treat him like a random student, but standing among a group of people who were obviously much older than him, Du Yan could also feel the slightly strange looks he received from others. According to the rules over the years, although it cannot be said that those who have participated in the training will definitely have a prosperous official career, but if they do not have the potential to cultivate, such good things will not happen, so even if they are unlikely to be promoted immediately because of their seniority, those who have been It is almost certain that he will be placed in an important position. So many people see that Du Yan is so young, and some even look at him as a college student who has just graduated and entered the workplace not long ago, which makes many people secretly guess about his origins. The number of people in this youth cadre training class is obviously smaller than in previous years. Of course, others don't know this, but Du Yan, who has stayed at the provincial party school for more than a year, knows it in his heart. Since the drastic changes in the Soviet Union, the domestic review and selection of cadres, especially young cadres who are likely to have the opportunity to develop to a higher level in the future, has become more stringent. After all, the iron-clad facts of the Soviet Union have proven that fortresses are often from Because of this, the country is more cautious when selecting young reserves who may affect the country's destiny and development in the future. However, precisely because of this, another more straightforward and even more direct statement emerged among the party elders: "It is more secure for our own children to take over." Regarding this argument, Du Yan knew that in fact There is a strong market within the party. This is of course because the lessons of the Soviet Union have indeed frightened many people. More importantly, this is indeed the sentiment of some people from the beginning. ¡°It¡¯s just that through the painful lessons of the Soviet Union and the turmoil that occurred in the country in the past few years, this kind of thinking can finally be expressed with dignity and confidence. Another reason is that with the rapid development of youth organizations, many young cadres have been absorbed into the youth organization, which is the reserve camp of future new cadres. As a result, the youth cadre class of the party school is actually in a somewhat embarrassing situation. As he lowered his head and thought wildly, Du Yan suddenly felt a commotion next to him. He raised his head and saw Chen Zigao, the vice president of the Provincial Party School, standing in front of him. "Xiao Du, we meet again." Chen Zi said with a smile. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 101 Party School Classmates The appearance of Chen Zigao made Du Yan, who was already attracting much attention, suddenly become the focus of the training class. Du Yan¡¯s young age has already attracted a lot of attention. Now when he sees Vice Principal Chen Zigao talking to Du Yan, in the minds of others, Du Yan has been immediately classified into a mysterious circle. Du Yan was slightly surprised at first that Chen Zigao actually greeted him, and then he understood. As the vice-principal of the Provincial Party School, Chen Zigao was obviously able to understand some of the above changes earlier than others. Because of the special nature of his position, and even some things that most cadres at the same level were not aware of, he should have learned about them earlier. Have heard. Du Yan's restructuring plan was taken away by Gao Yubing more than two months ago. In the period that followed, Gao Yubing called Du Yan several times and proposed that Du Yan implement the restructuring plan, especially It is about the separation of the relationship between enterprises and workers, as well as the relationship between collective employee joint-stock companies and social security. Several more detailed revisions were made. Du Yan knew that all this was actually Song Youbo's suggestion. Because of this, although he had not heard any news during this period, Du Yan knew that the restructuring plan had probably had a huge impact on the upper levels. If the restructuring of state-owned enterprises a few years later was not thorough enough and caused a lot of disputes, then Du Yan's restructuring plan can be said to have completely abandoned the last veil of concealment, direct, straightforward, and even more Unmistakably, a table of feasts that had been coveted for a long time was brought in front of the diners! If being given a nickname by a certain upper-class boss didn't attract Chen Zigao's attention, then Du Yan really has to admire Chen Zigao's indifference and inaction. "It's a pity that Chen Zigao is not the kind of person who only focuses on learning, so he is inevitably vulgar. Just seeing Du Yan, Chen Zigao didn't feel relaxed. After all, when thinking of the title "Little Gorbachev", it is inevitable that people will think of bloody past events such as "a small group hidden in the party". Therefore, seeing Du Yan, Chen Zigao felt somewhat sad. Feeling the pressure, especially when he thought that this troublemaker wanted to stay in his territory for a full month and a half, Chen Zigao felt that he really had a headache. "Xiao Du, come to my office for a chat when you have time?" Chen Zigao's seemingly casual words stunned the training class director who was accompanying him, because Chen Zigao's words were more of a discussion than an order. tone. The teacher of the youth cadre class was later transferred from the lower city party school, so he didn't know much about Du Yan's situation. Although he also knew that this young man should have some background before joining the youth cadre class, but now he saw that even Chen Zigao was Regarding his attitude, the director couldn't help but look at Du Yan a little strangely. "Yes, Principal Chen." Du Yan immediately followed up and leaned back to accompany Chen Zigao as he walked forward. The people next to him heard Chen Zigao reminiscing as he walked: "Xiao Du, more than a year has passed really fast, but you haven't changed at all." When he came out of Chen Zigao's office, Du Yan was very surprised. "By chance" I met the training class teacher downstairs. Seeing Du Yan, the bald head teacher immediately smiled. After chatting for a few words, he asked Du Yan to take him to see the dormitory. " Du Yan politely declined this kindness. Looking at the slightly disappointed look on the head teacher's face, Du Yan secretly sighed in his heart. Some people say that the party school is a hotbed for cultivating domestic bureaucrats. This is truly true. In fact, no one expected Chen Zigao to invite Du Yan so enthusiastically, but in fact, after they were alone, the conversation between the two people was dry and without any substance. Apart from briefly asking about some of Du Yan's experiences after leaving the party school, Chen Zigao just encouraged Du Yan to cherish the opportunity to master the theory during the next study period and lay the foundation for a better role in work in the future. The entire conversation could be said to be lackluster. It was full of cliche and official talk, and it even made Du Yan feel that he was listening to a leader's report. Even when leaving, Chen Zigao's words of encouragement to him were quite satisfactory but lacking in hollowness and generality. There was no sense that he took the initiative to invite Du Yan over to "have a chat." Du Yan is very clear about the reason why people like Chen Zigao have such different attitudes. Chen Zigao was obviously so pretentious because he couldn't see the future situation clearly. Chen Zigao was obviously helpless about putting such a trouble into his own little land, but after all, he had been in the officialdom for many years. , so I quickly came up with a way to deal with both sides. In front of outsiders, a close attitude, but turning back is to leave the relationship. No matter what the result is in the future, he can say that this is also a long years of mixed officialdom.The meaning of ?. As for whether Du Yan will be prosperous or unlucky in the future, Chen Zigao's actions today can be regarded as a small and comprehensive way to advance and retreat. But of course no one else would know about this kind of thing. To outsiders, the relationship between Principal Chen and Du Yan was obviously unusual, and the director of the training class personally accompanied him to visit the dormitory. As soon as the news spread, It was enough to attract people's attention. As for Du Yan's past in the provincial party school, it was naturally dug up quickly. So as soon as the guidance director left, several roommates in the dormitory immediately had smiles on their faces and gathered around to chat with Du Yan. Although Du Yan didn't have much thought to keep in touch with these classmates who were good at observing words and emotions and were good at digging things, he also knew that going to school together, one of the so-called four pillars of life, was one of the foundations for developing connections in the future, especially this one. Most of the classmates in this party school will become a small group that helps each other in the future, as long as there are no accidents. Therefore, Du Yan did not refuse the good intentions of several people. After introducing himself to each other, Du Yan was somewhat surprised to find that among the four people in the room, although in terms of rank, all four of them happened to be deputy chiefs, except for He and the other three were either from various municipal agencies or deputies in departments and bureaus, so when he said that he was a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee in Pingling, the other three people couldn't help but have a strange look in their eyes. After all, it is not uncommon for someone like Du Yan to become a deputy director in a government department at such a young age. Many young people with backgrounds have gained qualifications in such an inconspicuous way, but if it is said that they are in the lower areas For a county official, Du Yan seems a bit too young. When he heard that Du Yan said that he was a member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee in Taihua, in addition to the other two roommates in the city, one of them was a cadre in the provincial government agency. He thought for a moment, and then his face revealed. A surprised look. "Pingling?" The cadre named E asked tentatively, "Are you Director Du from Pingling New District?" Du Yan nodded slightly in surprise, and then he saw an even more surprised look on the cadre's face. look. "It's really Director Du. Oops, why is my left eye always twitching recently? I thought I was going to get rich, but it turns out I met a noble person." The cadre surnamed E immediately stretched out his hand and held it tightly with Du Yan. At the same time, he originally His shoulders, which were slightly lowered, even slumped. "Don't say that, Hubei Bureau. You are older, so I still have to call you Big Brother." Du Yan said with a smile. He could see that although the other two people were also smiling, they had slightly unnatural expressions. He couldn't help but Secretly sighing, no matter where I go, this kind of intrigue is the best among Chinese people. "Big brother, what's the use of being a few years older? Before the mules and horses grow bigger, this person will no longer be valuable when he gets older," the cadre surnamed E said, and couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his forehead, which was already slightly bald. There was a strange smell inside, and then he turned to the other two people and said, "Old Zhao and Old Wang, you probably don't know who Director Du is yet, right? Do you still remember what Governor Gao said about the new rural areas of our province some time ago?" The model mentioned in the speech on reform and development? The young reform cadre from Taihua Pingling? " Hearing what the cadre surnamed E said, the other two people couldn't help but look at each other. Although they seemed to be a little confused for a while, they couldn't help but look at each other. He immediately showed a look of enlightenment and couldn't help but nodded. Seeing them like this, the cadre surnamed E showed a habitual and instructive look on his face and said: "Governor Gao has repeatedly mentioned that he needs to strengthen me during this period. Provincial economic development and construction must adapt to the situation of the new era, establish new concepts, and seize new opportunities. Among them, Pingling of Taihua has been repeatedly mentioned as being at the forefront of the province, and has even brought a new trend to our Hexi Province. It¡¯s a new trend, haven¡¯t you studied the documents in this area?¡± Hearing what Lao E said, the other two people couldn¡¯t help but look at Du Yan at the same time, as if they had just remembered something. Then, one of the cadres with a few pockmarks on his face suddenly remembered something and asked: "Director Du, I would like to ask if there is a Qingguo Winery in your new district?" "Why, Brother Wang also knows about it?" Just when Du Yan asked, something suddenly moved in his heart. He remembered that when he introduced himself before, the cadre named Wang mentioned that he was from Linchi. Linchi, isn¡¯t that the origin of Hexi¡¯s famous old-brand liquor, Baibaibai? Hearing that Du Yan was admitting it, the cadre named Wang showed a wry smile: "How come you don't know, Director Du, your Qingguo Winery killed me, Old Wang." Du Yan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Said: "Brother Wang, I don't dare to admit what you said. How did you say this?" "Director Du, don't listen to Wang Mazi's nonsense. He is also unlucky himself. Who makes him lose his sense of value." Another A cadre named Zhao quickly picked up the conversation and at the same time pretended to bump into Lao Wang accidentally. After seeing this action, Du YanThere was a movement here. When they introduced each other before, he had heard that Lao Wang and Lao Zhao had known each other before. Now it seems that the two people have a good relationship. It¡¯s just that Lao Wang¡¯s words have aroused his interest. More importantly, Lao Wang is from Linchi, which makes Du Yan pay more attention. "Let's do it this way. It's our first day together and I'll treat you." Du Yan said with a smile. Seeing Lao E opening his mouth, Du Yan was already there before him. "We're not going to any nice place, just Huayang." "How about that?" "Director Du is really generous. He came to Huayang, unlike those of us who work in the Qingshui Yamen." Old E chuckled, but there was a slight hint of something else in his words. Du Yan smiled and did not explain. He saw Lao Wang glance at Lao Zhao before nodding his head in agreement. He couldn't help but think that Lao Wang actually listened to Lao Zhao's words. Huayang has not only established a firm foothold in Tongyang in the past two years, but has also begun to enter a long-term development model. In addition to Huayang Commercial Building, Huayang Hotel and Huayang Hotel have successively invested. From the beginning, according to Following Du Yan's suggestion, Qiao Luowei positioned Huayang at the level of high-end fashion. Although it is inevitable that it will appear a bit highbrow at first because there is not such a large consumer market, and even in the eyes of outsiders, it is just trying to lose money. However, as time goes by and Huayang gradually forms an image, in people's minds, Huayang has not only become It has established its high-end status and even become a symbol of luxury. But Du Yan also knew that the reason why Qiao Luowei allowed Huayang to complete this series of changes was inseparable from the strong support behind the Song family. Similarly, through the Song family's investment in Huayang at all costs, Du Yan also clearly felt that the Song family attached great importance to the inland strategy. Huayang Hotel is different from Huayang Commercial Building. It is not on Xinhua Road, but on Tuanjie Avenue in Xiange District. This was the address chosen by Qiao Luowei at the beginning. Looking back later, it can be said that Qiao Luowei chose this place carefully. . Xiange District is the central area of ??Tongyang City, and it is not far from the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. The hotel built in this place gives people a completely different impression from the beginning. And because they followed some of Du Yan's specific suggestions, the hotel tried its best to create a luxurious and fashionable atmosphere that completely transcended the times from the very beginning, especially those service staff who were specially trained at high prices from European hotel industry professional schools. People who walk into the hotel will feel as if they are in a traditional European high-end hotel with a long history from the beginning. Lao E is a deputy director of the Medical Bureau under the Provincial Department of Health, and he has seen a lot of the world. However, when he walked into the Huayang Hotel, he saw that although the hotels he had visited before were magnificent, they were always It was a totally different environment from a hotel that was full of nouveau riche vibes, and Lao E couldn't help but feel a little unnatural. "Lao Zhao and Lao Wang simply shut their mouths and let the waiters in black and white waiter uniforms lead the way. "This place is really a decadent capitalist place." Watching the waiter in a bow tie and little dress walk away, Lao E made a joke. "Then let's critically experience the decadent capitalist life." Du Yan said with a smile. His words caused several other people to laugh. However, he saw that although Lao Zhao and Lao Wang were also talking and laughing, they could not always There seems to be some distance between him and himself, but he is more curious and wants to know why. Although Huayang borrowed the management and environment of famous European hotels, the dishes still inherited the traditional national cuisine style. Looking at several other people ordering dishes, Du Yan couldn't help but look towards the staircase curling upward at one end of the hotel. Take a look. Du Yan knew that Qiao Luowei originally intended to let Xiao Zhu manage this place. It was just because Qiao Luowei himself had never been free and had to run around frequently, so Xiao Zhu stayed at the Huayang office. Now that Qiao Luowei has gradually settled down in Hexi, it is estimated that Xiao Zhu will be able to free up time to manage the hotel. Du Yan still agreed with Qiao Luowei's vision. Xiao Zhu's ability should be enough to shoulder this responsibility. What's more important is that Huayang Hotel is Qiao Luowei's first attempt in the hotel industry. First of all, Xiao Zhu is indeed a person who can do things exactly according to her intentions. While waiting for the food, a few people started chatting slowly. Du Yan soon discovered that Lao E seemed to be a very capable leader. Maybe it was because he worked in a provincial government agency and treated Lao Zhao and Lao E who came from the market below. Lao Wang and Lao E couldn't help but look like a superior leader. However, Lao E had a different attitude toward Du Yan. Although he couldn't help but show off his old-fashioned attitude when he first learned about Du Yan's origins, he showed more of a disdain for Du Yan. The look of an outsider. In this way, although there are only four people,It was a small gap that appeared unintentionally. The reason why Du Yan took the initiative to treat today was of course to connect with his roommates, but more importantly because Lao Wang's words aroused his interest. When he thought that Lao Wang was from Linchi, and he mentioned Qingguo wine, Du Yan wanted to know what was so special about this, because in his plan, Linchi was the main target for the next expansion of his Qingguo Winery. "The things here are really expensive. A pot of tea costs 30 yuan." Lao Wang looked at the chrysanthemum tea in a transparent glass pot that the waiter had just brought and grinned slightly. "Let's not talk about tea. It's just a good plate. The main dishes are not necessarily at this price. " "Old Wang, you are free down there. You must eat and drink a lot all day long," Lao E said in a condescending tone. "But, to be honest, The enjoyment has to be said to be a provincial capital. If nothing else, the environment and atmosphere of this Huayang Hotel are not found in other places. You can tell just by looking at the waiters. There is a foreign smell all over their bodies. It¡¯s just different.¡± ¡°That¡¯s the provincial capital,¡± Lao Zhao chuckled. He could tell that Lao Wang seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Lao E¡¯s attitude, so he immediately came out to smooth things over. ¡°I said, Director Du, we are costing you money today. "Yes, but we won't invite you to such a good place later. Don't be offended when the time comes." "Whatever Brother Zhao said, no matter what the director is, you are older than me, so just call me by my name, or just call me by my name." Call me Xiao Du." Du Yan chuckled. He could see that Lao Zhao was very smooth, and it seemed that Lao Wang also listened to him. It seemed that if he wanted to find out something from Lao Wang, he had to ask Lao Zhao first. Zhao took action. Du Yan, who was thinking this way, looked around casually as he spoke, but when he inadvertently saw two people sitting at a table near the window in the distance, he looked at a very familiar figure among them, I just couldn't help but be stunned. "Why is she here?" Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Their Sails" Chapter 102: You are the one who is being beaten! Du Yan didn't expect to see Chu Yilan in Huayang. Looking at Chu Yilan sitting far away at the corner table, Du Yan felt a little surprised. The two of them had just been separated for a few days, but he didn't expect that she would come back. The man sitting opposite her had his back to Du Yan, so although he felt familiar at first, he didn't recognize him yet. But as the man turned around slightly, Du Yan unexpectedly discovered that this man was actually Xiao Aihong, deputy secretary of the Shenzhen City Party Committee. His son Hong Ziming! At first, because Hong Ziming was involved in the car smuggling case in Shencheng, Xiao Aihong sent him to the capital to avoid the limelight. Du Yan originally thought that he would never see him again from now on. Unexpectedly, less than half a year later, this Hong Da The young master appeared in Tongyang again and even sat with Chu Yilan. In the past, although he knew that Chu Yilan did not like Hong Ziming, Du Yan was just a little surprised when he saw the two of them sitting together again. But now looking at the two people sitting together, Du Yan Yan could not calm down no matter what. "Xiao Du, come and eat, why are you so stunned?" Lao E's greeting interrupted Du Yan's thinking. He looked at the three classmates next to him who were looking at him, but at this time he didn't even think about it. In the mood to eat. Just this is not enough. If you think about it carefully, except for the one relationship between Chu Yilan and him that cannot be explained and cannot be made public, there really is no big involvement between the two people. Seriously speaking, the two of them were involved in political affairs because of their political affairs. There are still some contradictions and estrangements due to different policies. Even after they had that kind of relationship, the two people had been deliberately avoiding each other, so seeing those two people sitting together, Du Yan really had no reason or position to feel unhappy, but even so , but he couldn't let it go. With this thought in mind, Du Yan turned his back to the two people, reached out and grabbed the wine glass in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp. "Okay! Good drinker!" Lao E immediately shouted, and Lao Zhao next to him also cheered. As he said this, several people started to drink from cup to cup. Du Yan had been drinking in silence. When he saw Chu Yilan and Hong Ziming sitting together, he had calmed down. Just looking at the wine glass in his hand, he felt that the taste of today's wine seemed a bit too light. So when you drink it, it seems to have no taste at all. Huayang Hotel is different from other places. Because it operates according to the typical traditional Western hotel model, it has inherited the unique environment of Western hotels. Compared with the domestic environment where the atmosphere is noisy and everywhere seems to be full of heat, Huayang Hotel is quiet, which naturally affects the guests who come in. And because of the exotic feeling that Huayang deliberately creates, even people who usually like liveliness can't help but become quiet here. Quite a few. So in this way, the natural noisy cheers from Lao E and the others naturally attracted the attention of people around them. Some looked up and continued to eat their own food, while others frowned. At this moment, Du Yan heard an obviously sarcastic sneer coming from behind: "What a bunch of rubes. Look where it is. " Hearing this sarcasm, Lao E's faces immediately showed anger. Speaking of which, they are usually very official people, especially Lao E, who is somewhat restrained in dealing with Du Yan. Beyond this point, he had a condescending attitude in front of Lao Zhao and Lao Wang. Now when he suddenly heard someone sarcastic about him, his face immediately darkened. Old E stood up and looked towards the place where the sarcasm came from. When he saw a young man and woman, the look on his face became even more ugly. "Who are you calling a bumpkin?" Lao E asked the young man who was looking at him sarcastically. He also noticed that the young man was quite well-dressed, and they were vaguely wearing official clothes. He had a unique aura, but he didn't really care about the other party's youth. After all, there weren't many people like Du Yan who were already deputy department-level cadres at such a young age, and it was impossible for him to meet two of them in one day. . "What a joke. Is there anyone else here?" Hong Ziming simply stood up and looked at Lao E sarcastically. He looked good today. He was wearing a light gray single-breasted gentleman's suit, with a suit vest of the same color and style underneath, and a black tie as a foil. Wearing a snow-white shirt underneath, he looks a bit like the returnee style that is quite popular nowadays. "Say it again!" Lao E's face turned purple. He rushed forward, but was immediately pulled back by Lao Zhao and Lao Wang on both sides. "It's the same thing again. A group of bumpkins who just got out of nowhere come to a place like this to eat. I think the doorman should throw you out without looking at your own virtue." Hong Ziming curled his lips disdainfully. "What did you say and what did you do? I know you are insulting the country.?A cadre? "Lao E's face was already turning blue. He never expected that he would meet such a person while eating. Seeing the looks of people around him, although no one came to help him, he could feel that the people around him had the same feeling. The disdainful looks given to several of his people made him even more irritated. He was so anxious and drunk that he simply wanted to use his status to suppress others. Unfortunately, his words not only failed to calm the other party, but made Hong Ziming even more contemptuous. With a look on his face, Hong Ziming pointed at Lao E and turned to Chu Yilan and said: "I said Xiaolan, is this a cadre from Hexi? Ouch, if I pull this out, it will bring shame to Hexi, right? I said you have to go back and talk to Uncle Chu and ask him to take care of the people below. Let people like this do what they are supposed to do without asking who they are provoking. " Hearing Hong Ziming's words, Lao E's face turned red at first, and then he couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He didn't know where the arrogant young man in front of him came from, but the tone sounded very serious. " Ziming Forget it, let's go. "Chu Yilan suddenly said, ever since Hong Ziming started causing trouble, she frowned slightly but said nothing, but when she saw one of the people at the table sitting there motionless, his back to her and the others. When she saw her back, she felt inexplicably uneasy. "Okay, it's time to go. There really is nothing to talk about with these people. "A smile immediately appeared on Hong Ziming's face. He raised his hand to help Chu Yilan pick up the leather bag beside him. After glancing at Lao E and others, he turned around and left with Chu Yilan. "President Hong, it's You? " A slightly raised voice suddenly came from the door. At the same time, Du Yan heard Lao Zhao, who was standing next to him and watching Lao E arguing with others, suddenly whispered: "It's Deputy Director Xu of the Provincial Department. " Following Lao Zhao's words, Lao Wang, who was standing a little further away, couldn't help but let out an uneasy gasp. At this time, Lao E looked at the few cadre-looking people who suddenly appeared at the door, and his face also turned pale. Bai Bai, his forehead was sweating. One of the people walked up to Hong Ziming and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Hong Ziming. At the same time, the other middle-aged man next to him was stunned for a moment after seeing Chu Yilan. He smiled at Chu Yilan and said, "Why, County Magistrate Chu is also here, what a coincidence. " Hearing someone call Chu Yilan County Magistrate, the faces of Lao E and the others changed again. Although they didn't know who Chu Yilan was, they thought that even if they were ranked at the bottom, it was obviously not easy, let alone The one who turned even whiter on Lao E's face was the person who greeted Chu Yilan, and he happened to know him. "Come on, let me introduce you," the cadre who shook hands with Hong Ziming turned around and said to his companions, "This is us. Vice President Hong is newly transferred from Tongyang Branch of People¡¯s Bank of Hexi Province. " Hearing the introduction, the middle-aged man who greeted Chu Yilan was slightly startled. He glanced at Chu Yilan and then shook hands slightly with Hong Ziming who looked arrogant: "Hello, President Hong. " "President Hong, let me introduce you, this is Director Xia of the Inspection Office of the Provincial General Office. "Deputy Director Xu immediately introduced the two parties. He originally looked at Chu Yilan, but before he could find a chance to speak, Hong Ziming suddenly frowned and said to Deputy Director Xu: "Director Xia, since When I arrive in Hexi, I will become a cadre in Hexi, so I have to make a suggestion to your provincial inspection office. Can you pay attention to the quality of our grassroots cadres? Some of them are really outrageous. " "What does Mr. Hong mean? "The smile on Director Xia's face slowly disappeared, and at the same time he quickly glanced at Chu Yilan who was frowning next to him. "Some people just behave rudely, but they don't know the depth of it, and they show off their identity at every turn. Hexi, if it was in the capital or Shanghai, I would have been out of luck. "Hong Ziming glanced at Lao E, who was standing not far away. At this time, his face had completely turned blue, and a bad smile appeared on his face. Seeing Hong Ziming's look, Deputy Director Xu, who could not tell the difference, followed He glanced around and saw Lao E. He just glanced at it, but when he saw Lao Zhao and Lao Wang standing behind Lao E, Deputy Director Xu's face immediately darkened: "You two, it seems that Linchi Officer, what's going on? " "Yes, director, we are from Linchi Light Industry Bureau, and we are here to participate in the provincial party school training. "Lao Zhao and Lao Wang hurriedly walked up a few steps to report to Deputy Director Xu. Their faces at this time were no better than Lao E. There was even a layer of despairing gray on Lao Wang's face. By this time, his hair was already gone. Lao E, who was soaked with sweat, was stared at by Director Xia from the Inspection Office of the Provincial General Office. He walked over in a panic and with heavy feet. "Director, I" "Lao E, right," Director Xia asked calmly. He said, "I remember that you also went to the provincial party school for training. Why are you here now?"You still drank so much. Is this the result of studying in the party school? "As he said that, Director Xia smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Lao E's body, and raised his hand to cover his nose slightly. Lao E's face was extremely ugly at this time. He really regretted why he came to eat this meal. In front of so many people, he wished he could get in, and looking at Director Xia's actions, he knew that it was impossible for Director Xia to speak for himself. "Old Xia, I think you really need to take good care of these people. It¡¯s too shameful to be a cadre. Do you know what kind of influence this place has? "Deputy Director Xu's face was gloomy and his tone was stern. He had always wanted to curry favor with the newly arrived vice president of the provincial branch, but he never expected that his own subordinates would offend Hong Ziming, who was said to have a deep background. Seeing that Hong Ziming was obviously unwilling to give up, and Director Xia didn't seem to want to defend the provincial cadre, Deputy Director Xu immediately scolded several people with an ugly face: "You should tell Director Hong immediately Apologize, look what you are like, do you still have the image of a cadre? And the one sitting in the back, what about you, stand up for me, who is sent to act as the uncle? You¡¯re not sober yet, are you? " "when! " As soon as Deputy Director Xu finished speaking, a crisp sound of cups and plates clashing suddenly sounded! Because this sound was so sudden, it cut off Deputy Director Xu's words that he had wanted to say. As he placed the cup on the empty plate without following the rules, Du Yan, who had been sitting there with his back to the group of people, stood up and turned around slowly, "Du Yan? ! "Although she seemed to have felt it for a long time, when she saw Du Yan, Chu Yilan couldn't help but screamed softly, and at the same time, a trace of paleness flashed across her face. "Is it you? ! " Hong Ziming looked at Du Yan in astonishment. He never expected that after a few months, he would see the boy who almost lost his master again. What's even more disgusting is that both times, in front of Chu Yilan's face. "Young Master Hong, you are really impressive." Du Yan picked up the napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth gently, then glanced at Chu Yilan behind Hong Ziming, "Why, in Shencheng?" You can't survive anymore, so you are running wild in Hexi? " "Du, what are you so crazy about?" Hong Ziming's pretentious demeanor suddenly disappeared after being stabbed in the painful spot. He pointed at Du Yan and cursed, "If the girl from the Song family and Uncle Cheng hadn't protected you last time in Shanghai, I would have killed you." You little son of a bitch! " "Snapped! "Du Yan suddenly reached out and slapped Hong Ziming directly on the face with a loud slap! Everyone was stunned for a moment! "Du Yan, what are you doing! "Chu Yilan couldn't help but exclaimed. "How dare you hit me, Du! "Hong Ziming's eyes were red and he rushed forward, but was immediately held tightly by several people. "The one I'm beating is you! Du Yan pointed at Hong Ziming and yelled, "If you have the guts, curse again!" " "You are crazy, you are from that unit! "Deputy Director Xu's voice was already out of tune, but he did not forget to quickly glance at Director Xia next to him. Seeing Director Xia's equally ugly expression, Deputy Director Xu immediately rushed towards Du as if on stimulants. "I want you to apologize to President Hong immediately!" Your problem will be dealt with seriously later! " "Deputy Director Xu, please make it clear that I don't seem to be under the control of your Light Industry Department," Du Yan said coldly in the face of Deputy Director Xu's hoarse roar. Then he lowered his voice and continued, "You too Let¡¯s be clear first, is this something you can control? " The stern look that flashed through Du Yan's eyes made Deputy Director Xu stunned, and he also remembered that the young man in front of him obviously knew Hong Ziming and the young and beautiful County Magistrate Chu next to him. Then he thought about it when the three people met. There might be something going on with that look, and it sounds like the two of them have been feuding for a long time. Thinking about it carefully, maybe the matter here is really beyond his control. Thinking of this, Deputy Director Xu suddenly turned around. Director Xia, who had just come over, took a look, and then he suddenly thought that Director Xia, as the director of the Provincial Government Inspection Office, had not said anything from the beginning to the end. Who would believe that there was nothing fishy about it? " Can I take care of it? Director Xia finally spoke. He walked over with a serious face, slowly took out his work permit from his pocket and waved it in front of Du Yan. "Now, in the name of the Provincial Government Inspection Office, I am formally asking about your work unit and position." " "I am Du Yan, member of the Standing Committee of the Pingling County Party Committee and director of the new district, Taihua City, Hexi Province. "Du Yan also took out his work ID card. Hearing Du Yan's self-introduction, a trace of surprise flashed across Director Xia's face. He resisted the urge to look at Chu Yilan, but looked at Du Yan's work ID card seriously, and then He said in a low voice: "Comrade Du Yan, in view of your behavior just now, as aProvincial inspectors, I demand an explanation from you and be prepared for a written inquiry. " "It doesn't matter," Du Yan's original serious expression suddenly changed. He crossed his arms, but his eyes were over Director Xia's shoulders, looking at Hong Ziming who was covering the corner of his bleeding mouth and glaring at him, "Surname Remember Hong, as long as you stay in Hexi for a day, I will beat you every time I see you. " "Little bastard, believe it or not, I've asked someone to destroy you!" "At this time, Hong Ziming was so angry that he had completely transformed back into the arrogant prince he was when he was in Shencheng. He pushed away the person who was blocking him and shouted at Du Yan, "Don't be crazy because you think someone is protecting you. If you die, you will crush an ant to death! " Hong Ziming's words made people around him change their faces. Director Xia, who was about to stop Du Yan, turned even more ugly. He glared at Du Yan fiercely, lowered his voice and told the people next to him: "Don't send Hong away yet. President, go back and don't be embarrassed by being stuck here. " Only then did a few people wake up and immediately persuaded Hong Ziming to leave, but Hong Ziming still refused to let go. "Dog" Hong Ziming opened his mouth to curse, but before he had time to curse, the following "Bang" There was a crisp sound, and a wine glass was smashed at his feet by Du Yan, causing pieces to fly everywhere. This scared him so much that he couldn't help but jump up! "If you fart again, even your mother won't be able to save you!" "Du Yan stared at Hong Ziming with fire in his eyes. That look made the people next to him not suspect at all. If Hong Ziming really cursed, someone might actually be killed. "That's enough! " Chu Yilan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly let out a shout, which made everyone's attention focus on her. Du Yan looked at Chu Yilan, and then suddenly walked towards her, under the gaze of people He walked to Chu Yilan and stopped: "I'm sorry, County Magistrate Chu, I influenced you. "Director Du, you drank too much," Chu Yilan's expression had calmed down at this time. She turned around and said to Hong Ziming, "I'm sorry, Ziming. It's a pity that something like this happened. How about I treat you to dinner next time as a token of my gratitude?" Apologize. " Hong Ziming glared at Du Yan fiercely, but at this time, he slowly calmed down. By this time, he already knew that he had been fooled by Du Yan from the beginning! Du Yan came up in front of so many people In front of him, he pretended to have a personal vendetta against him, and what he said was a jealous fight between young masters. This actually blocked the mouths of others in the eyes of those who didn't know what was going on. , this is completely a personal grudge between two young masters with different backgrounds. If they really pursue it, it might involve some inside story that outsiders don¡¯t know. Therefore, the conflict between these young masters should of course be resolved privately. That would be outrageous in officialdom. But in fact, only the person involved understands that it is not the case at all. But now Hong Ziming is neither able nor willing to explain, and Chu Yilan suddenly spoke at this time. Even if Hong Ziming wanted to explain, he lost the chance. Hong Ziming stared at Du Yan for a long time, and suddenly sneered with a tremble at the corner of his mouth: "You are so powerful, I admit defeat today, so you just hope that you don't leave." Memorize words. " After saying that, he glanced at Chu Yilan, turned around and left. Under people's gaze, Du Yan missed Chu Yilan and strode up the stairs. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 104 Visiting the Chu Family "Are you crazy?!" In a room on the second floor of Huayang Hotel, Chu Yilan stared at Du Yan sitting on the sofa opposite, eating ice cream in front of him with an ugly face, and asked, "You know what you did today "What did you do?" "Didn't I just teach that guy surnamed Hong a lesson?" Du Yan, who was scooping ice cream with a spoon, stopped and looked up at Chu Yilan, "Why, I still beat that kid, do you feel bad?" "You!" Chu Yilan stepped forward angrily, her lips trembled slightly, and just when she was about to open her mouth to say something, she suddenly felt sour and lowered her head, with big tears falling down her cheeks. on the ground. Seeing Chu Yilan lowering her head and crying, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a flash of guilt in his heart. He knew that what he said was exaggerated, but when he remembered that he had seen Chu Yilan and Hong Ziming sitting together in the restaurant below, Seeing the scene, his expression that had softened due to his softness immediately turned cold again. "Is that man surnamed Hong here to pester you again?" Du Yan asked, but then he felt that his tone sounded like a jealous husband. He just thought about the relationship between him and Chu Yilan except Apart from such an unexpected combination, there was almost no other relationship, and he felt that he was a little too selfish. ¡°After all, Chu Yilan has her own life, and she is neither Su Qian nor Zhao Xiaoyun. In the final analysis, I don¡¯t have a questioning stance towards her. But Chu Yilan did not refute, but just shook her head unexpectedly. Then she slowly raised her head and looked at Du Yan with red eyes and a sad expression: "I have worked hard, suffered a lot, and looked at you with blank eyes. Now it's all gone, just because of your slap, you should be satisfied this time. " "Are you looking for Hong Ziming to get a loan?" Du Yan suddenly remembered that those people called Hong Ziming President Hong before. Seeing the wry smile on Chu Yilan's face after hearing his inquiry, he suddenly understood: "That boy Hong Ziming has been transferred to Tongyang Branch of the People's Bank of China now?" "Yes, since you know his You should also know the relationship between his father and the person in charge now." After saying this, Chu Yilan seemed to have lost all her strength. She sat down on the sofa opposite Du Yan and grabbed the paper on the table. He took the tea cup and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. "He is now in charge of the credit department at Tongyang Branch. Your slap is really valuable. You can kill millions in one go." "That kid is not only responsible for the credit department, but also Smuggled into the People's Bank of China and became the vice president of the branch?" Du Yan continued to ask. He looked at Chu Yilan's fierce glare, but did not avoid it. "Do you want to ask him for a loan to build PVC? "Chemical plant?" "What can I do? Everything is gone now," Chu Yilan's eyes showed helplessness and unspeakable anger. If it weren't for years of family education and good upbringing, she could still be restrained and calm. Maintaining the last bit of ladylike demeanor, Du Yan estimated that she might have pounced on him and fought him desperately. "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Let alone Xin District, even Pingling or even Taihua, I guess you won't be able to borrow money from the bank again in the future." When it's a penny, just wait for those who know the reason to end it with you. " "I mean, Yilan, you think too highly of that Hong Ziming," Du Yan said with a look of disdain on his face. Yilan couldn't help but blush because of his title. ¡°Perhaps he was stimulated by the name Hong Ziming called Chu Yilan before, but this was the first time Du Yan called her name that way. "Forget it, it's useless to say anything now. The feud between you and Hong Ziming is finally over." Chu Yilan showed a trace of distress on her face, "Du Yan, I don't understand, why are you going through this? You're not Knowing Hong Ziming¡¯s background, that¡¯s not something you can afford to offend. Do you know how ruthless Xiao Aihong¡¯s methods are? Do you know how big a backer their family has? You don¡¯t know this.¡± ¡°Then you want me to look at him. He pretends to be coward when he attacks my woman?" Du Yan pushed forward the half-eaten ice cream plate. "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is your woman?" Chu Yilan's face turned red instantly. She reached up and was about to stand up, but she didn't expect that Du Yan, who was sitting opposite, had quick hands and eyes, and suddenly stretched out his hands to hug her. waist! Chu Yilan whispered, but immediately kept her mouth shut. Although she knew that Huayang Hotel was owned by the Song family, and that the pretty female manager she had just seen took the initiative to make arrangements for them after seeing Du Yan. She entered this room, but she was still afraid of being overheard by outsiders. After all, if outsiders discovered the shady relationship between the two of them, not only would they be ruined, but if her father Chu Ping knew about it, who knows what would happen. What. As if knowing that Chu Yilan didn't dare to alarm others, Du Yan put his arms around Chu Yilan's waist, but he didn't go too far. He just looked into her eyes tightly. As he slowly approached, Chu Yilan immediately closed her eyes tightly. Lips, turn your head to? side. But what surprised her was that Du Yan did not take the opportunity to kiss her, but stretched out his hand and gently slid his fingertips on her smooth and slightly thin cheek: "Why don't you tell me, look at you, She has lost weight running around alone these days. " Listening to Du Yan's words, Chu Yilan was a little surprised at first. Unlike her father and brother's concern, no one had ever spoken to her in this tone, and no one had treated her like this. I cared about her like a weak woman. Chu Yilan has always been seen by others as not only strong, but even tough, so no one in Taihua or Pingling dared to speak to her in this tone. Now hearing Du Yan's concern The tone of her voice, and then thinking of the indistinguishable relationship between the two, Chu Yilan suddenly felt herself falling into an indescribable fatigue. She closed her eyes slightly and let Du Yan gently touch her delicate skin with his fingers. Just when she was hesitating in her heart, "If he kisses me, should I push him away?" Du Yan suddenly What he said in her ear made Chu Yilan wake up immediately. "What if I can get you this loan?" Chu Yilan's closed eyes suddenly opened. She looked at Du Yan in disbelief. After a while, she shook her head and asked doubtfully: "Do you know how much loan you need? "Didn't you just say a few million?" Du Yan said lightly, "I estimate that if you want to introduce a large-scale polyvinyl chloride factory and have an advantage in shares, you will need at least "Four to five million in capital investment, right?" "It doesn't need to be that much. If it is invested in installments, the upfront capital we need to invest is only two million," it seems. Du Yan is not without purpose, Chu Yilan's The mood immediately became active. "The total first phase of the project costs about five million. We can build and put into production while producing. In this way, the cost can be greatly reduced, and funds can be withdrawn quickly. Now PVC has There's a huge market." Chu Yilan said with excitement. Then she remembered the most critical question, and then she asked with a little doubt: "Can you really get the funds if you don't lie to me?" Looking at her. With an excited expression, Du Yan nodded and then shook his head. Then when Chu Yilan's expression changed and he was about to speak, he stretched out his finger and pressed it on Chu Yilan's lubricated lips: "That idea of ??yours won't work, you know Why do I have different opinions on your plan to build a chemical plant? It¡¯s not that I am opposed to building a chemical plant. What I am afraid of is the subsequent problems caused by your construction and production.¡± Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan in confusion, waiting for him. explanation, but she didn't know that in Du Yan's eyes, her appearance was another scene that attracted him. "I'll tell you why later, but before that, don't you think you should call your father?" Du Yan smiled at Chu Yilan. Speaking of which, the woman in front of him may be a keen political animal, but emotionally But she is a dull primary school student, or maybe because she has never experienced these things, she has no experience at all or simply never thinks about these things. "Do you know you are afraid now?" Chu Yilan pursed her lips and said fiercely. Obviously, with Hong Ziming's misdeeds, it is impossible for him to not develop his ambitions after suffering such a big loss, and because Chu Yilan is involved in this, Hong Ziming would be somewhat hesitant to act, so by telling Chu Ping clearly before doing so, he would at least be prepared for the future. More importantly, Chu Yilan had to make Chu Ping believe that this incident was a complete coincidence. Because anyone would have had thoughts because Chu Yilan was present in the two conflicts between Du Yan and Hong Ziming, let alone the scheming Chu Ping. Even now, Chu Yilan can think of what people who have heard a little bit about what happened in Shencheng would think, although she was careful not to follow Du Yan upstairs immediately, but dealt with Director Xia Afterwards, they entered the hotel again from the back, but she could not guarantee that others would not gossip about this matter. "You will kill me and yourself one day." Chu Yilan sighed softly. She really couldn't imagine what would happen if her father knew about the relationship between the two. Based on her understanding of his father's character, I understand that once he gets really angry, Chu Ping will crush Du Yan into powder in an instant! "Call first." Du Yan said and pecked Chu Yilan's earlobe, which made Chu Yilan's body tremble. Feeling Chu Yilan's unusual sensitivity, Du Yan, who had already let go of his hand, couldn't help but He closed his arms and held her in his arms again. "Let me go," Chu Yilan's face darkened and she said angrily. She broke free from Du Yan's arms with a little force, walked to the phone and adjusted her mood slightly, then picked up the phone and dialed the number. When the call was connected, , the expression on Chu Yilan's face has completely returned to that of a smart and capable female cadre. "Dad, I am Xiaolan." Du Yan sat on the sofa and picked up the ice cream on the table.The nectar continued to be eaten. This was what he asked for from Xiao Zhu before he came in. In fact, Xiao Zhu knew what was happening downstairs from the beginning, but she did not come forward. She was just in charge of what was going on in the monitoring room. When she saw Du Yan going upstairs, she immediately waited at the stairs on the second floor, and then led him to this room. It¡¯s just that Xiao Zhu didn¡¯t expect that before entering, Du Yan would suddenly ask her if there was that kind of sundae ice cream in the hotel. This surprised Xiao Zhu and made her laugh and cry. Who would have thought that after such a big incident, Du Yan would think of eating ice cream. While Chu Yilan was talking to Chu Ping on the phone, Du Yan was constantly thinking about what had just happened. He didn¡¯t expect that Hong Ziming would come to Hexi, but what he didn¡¯t expect even more was that Hong Ziming would become the vice president of the Tongyang Branch of the People¡¯s Bank of China! Even for the lower-ranked vice president, Hong Ziming¡¯s position is quite conspicuous, not to mention the vice president in charge of credit business. It seems that Vice Premier Shang has noticed the movements in Hexi. Of course Du Yan knew that Vice Premier Shang, who was also the governor of the People's Bank of China, would soon become the next prime minister, and that the team he had trained based on the foundation he had laid in the banking industry would form a financial team. A huge faction based on the system, this faction will have a huge impact on the country in the next few years or even decades. Hong Ziming¡¯s nominal father, Xiao Aihong¡¯s husband, Hong Bin, was previously one of Vice Premier Shang¡¯s right-hand men in the banking system. However, as Vice Premier Shang began to take charge of specific work in large state-owned enterprises, he was transferred to the north. A certain province served as the CEO of a very large state-owned enterprise. It's just that CEO Hong, like many of his colleagues, not only did not change the difficult situation of the company, but on the contrary, he soon joined the torrent of devouring state-owned property, and relied on his connections in the national banking system to make more money. It was a smooth journey and endless joy. Now that Hong Ziming was sent to Hexi, although it didn't seem like a big deal, Du Yan immediately discovered the problem keenly. It seems that some changes in Hexi have attracted the attention of some people, especially the recent series of cooperation actions between Gao Ke and Yang Weiquan on the economic development of the province, which seem to have caused quite a shock. Yang Weiquan is undoubtedly a person who knows how to read the situation, and he is also a flexible person. Although he has a distinguished background, when he needs help, he will not be reserved and unwilling to bow to others because of his status. This is evident from his recent actions. It can be seen that Yang Weiquan showed a rare cooperative attitude towards Gao Ke's argument for revitalizing the economic development of Hexi Province, and put himself in the position of Gao Ke's assistant in a down-to-earth manner. This not only made many people think that Yang Weiquan People who were familiar with the Gao Ke regime were shocked. Even those who were familiar with the inside story couldn't help but lament Yang Weiquan's long-term vision and tolerance. Just in this way, Hexi will inevitably attract the attention of others. After all, this kind of cooperation and unity between the first and second leaders of the government is not what everyone wants to see, not to mention Yang Weiquan's special status. If he really Some people will definitely be dissatisfied with whatever agreement is reached with Gao Ke. Provincial Party Committee Secretary Feng Zhenhuai? The shadow of this person flashed through Du Yan's mind. Of course, Du Yan was not familiar with Feng Zhenhuai. He only remembered that Feng Zhenhua entered the capital after serving as secretary of the provincial party committee for two terms, and retired a few years later with deputy state-level treatment. He said When I got up, I felt like I had fallen all over my face. But unlike Chu Ping, Feng Zhenhuai vigorously advocated the development of local resources during the period when he served as Secretary of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee, and this was even the most critical period in the process of gradually turning into a province that only supplies raw materials. Thinking about it now, Feng Zhenhuai may not have really done nothing, but he has done a lot. It is probably because of this that he was finally able to live a long life at the deputy state level. But in this way, the policy policy proposed by Gao Ke to revitalize the province's industry obviously conflicts with Feng Zhenhuai's leading direction. In addition, some people in Beijing are definitely not willing to see Yang Weiquan make achievements in Hexi Province. Now Come to think of it, the wind direction in Hexi is going to change. "Dad, what did you say?" Chu Yilan's voice suddenly rose slightly, which caught Du Yan's attention. He raised his head just in time to see Chu Yilan's eyes looking towards him, "I know, Dad, I, I will tell him. "Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan and answered, and then after a while she slowly put down the phone. "What's the matter?" Du Yan asked calmly. "My dad wants to see you," Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan solemnly. After a while, she suddenly took a step forward, grabbed Du Yan's arm and shook it hard. "My dad must have discovered something. He was on the phone just now. His tone was wrong. I told him what happened just now, and he said he wanted to see you without even asking. You killed me.! " Du Yan knew that he couldn't calm down Chu Yilan at this time, so he simply let her shake until she stopped and sat weakly on the sofa. He just said in a daze: "What should I do? This is how to do. " "Yilan. " Du Yan raised his hand and patted Chu Yilan, but as soon as his finger touched her shoulder, she shook it off hard. "Don't touch me, we are all doomed now," Chu Yilan shouted to Du Yan in a low voice, somewhat hysterically. , then she suddenly stopped and looked at Du Yan's face seriously, and then said with determination, "How about we get married. "Although he had already guessed that he would face this situation one day, Du Yan still had a headache when the matter came to pass, but he also knew that this was a fact that he had to face. From the moment he turned Chu Yilan into his woman From that moment on, this question would appear in front of him sooner or later. Du Yan thought for a moment and sat down to look at Chu Yilan. Then he asked softly: "Yilan, do you think the two of us can get married? " Chu Yilan opened her mouth slightly to say something first, then stopped. Finally, she shook her head slowly, with a look of despair in her eyes: "Du Yan, aren't you even willing to lie to me? " "If I lied to you, wouldn't it be more cruel?" Du Yan sat next to Chu Yilan, gently held her shoulders and let her head rest on his shoulders. "Yilan, we have to face reality, you know We know what the consequences will be. " "Then why did you do that to me in the first place, you bad guy! Damn it! rogue! "Chu Yilan raised her hand and slapped Du Yan's chest hard, but then buried her head in his arms and let out a dull cry, "What should we do, Du Yan, my dad must know. " "It's my fault, Yilan," Du Yan hugged Chu Yilan and let her cry in his arms. Since that relationship, the two of them seemed to have returned to the way they were before. In such a state, even when they went to Tongyang to participate in a commendation ceremony for flood fighting and disaster relief, the two of them treated each other with respect and seemed to have forgotten about it. But Du Yan knew that this was not normal, especially for women, no women. Being able to face a man who had taken away his first time so calmly, he was waiting. Now, under the huge shadow of Chu Ping, the defensive armor Chu Yilan had built for himself finally couldn't withstand it. This invisible pressure collapsed. Looking at Chu Yilan's pretty face, which was full of tears, Du Yan slowly lowered his head and kissed her gently on the cheek. "You go!" "Chu Yilan pushed Du Yan's chest angrily, but it didn't work at all. Du Yan stubbornly held her face in his hands and kissed her until her hands became weaker and weaker, and finally just held on tightly. Du Yan's shoulder. "Yilan, I'm going to see your father." After kissing deeply for a while, Du Yan said calmly, looking at Chu Yilan who was gradually calming down. "No matter what the outcome is, I have to face him." , even if we can't get married, men can't pretend to be cowardly in this kind of thing. " "Aren't you afraid of my dad? "Chu Yilan asked uneasily, "You don't know him well. Others say he is easy-going, and some even say he is weak, but I know that is not the case. If my dad really gets angry, he will not care about you at all. who is it. " "Aren't you afraid that you will believe me if I tell you? " Du Yan smiled bitterly. Just thinking about facing the wily Chu Ping made Du Yan's hair tingle. But as he said, a man must not pretend to be cowardly in this kind of matter, whether it is for himself or for the sake of his wife. He couldn't back down from the woman who gave herself to him! Tongyang, Guozijian Street, Fucheng District, this is the best preserved early folk residence in Tongyang, and it is also the residence of the leaders of the Hexi Provincial Committee and the Provincial People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference! When cadres reach the provincial and ministerial level, to be honest, they no longer have the concept of home as ordinary people do. In addition to being transferred to other cities or even other provinces at any time, the country's unique supply system also has everything from houses to food and drink. Let the leaders enter the government "in advance." In this way, although many senior leaders can be said to have sufficient food and clothing and a worry-free life in the place where they work, they will naturally become homeless in exchange. Such cadres who are destined to take root in Hexi and are unlikely to have any more movement have to be somewhat particular about their residence. After transitioning from the Provincial Party Committee to the National People's Congress, Chu Ping consciously moved out of the Provincial Party Committee's family area immediately. , and then settled in a courtyard on Guozijian Street near the family area of ??the National People¡¯s Congress leaders. It was estimated that this would be Chu Ping¡¯s last position in his life. The National People¡¯s Congress also put a lot of thought into arranging Chu Ping¡¯s residence. One day in the future, when Chu Ping really retires completely, if he moves out from the National People's Congress, it will be somewhat unbearable, so he will be arranged for Chu Ping from the beginning.This yard has been reserved and will not be taken back. ¡°After all, as the old provincial Party committee secretary and now the director of the Provincial People¡¯s Congress, even if he retires, he will still be surrounded by the old ministries and cannot be careless. Chu Ping's home is located at No. 266 Guozijian Street. This is a very secluded courtyard. The clean red courtyard door and the brass door knocker on the courtyard door facing the sunset glow make it look like walking into the early Republic of China. That kind of secluded mansion. Seeing Chu Yilan, the nanny who opened the door smiled at first, but when she saw Du Yan behind her, the nanny couldn't help but be slightly startled. "Aunt Qiao, are there guests at home?" Chu Yilan immediately noticed the look on the nanny's face. Aunt Qiao has been an old man in her family for many years, so of course she would not show such a look casually because she has no eyesight. "Yes, a guest has been here for a while, and Secretary Chu is accompanying him inside to talk." Aunt Qiao said with a smile. "Oh." Chu Yilan nodded. Aunt Qiao was very good at talking. This sentence already told her that this guest should have a good background. Otherwise, if he were an ordinary guest, he wouldn't have "come here for a while" as she said. , not to mention specifically mentioning that Zhu Ping was accompanying him to talk. As Chu Yilan walked into the courtyard, she looked back at Du Yan. If she went in like this with Du Yan, it would be a bit abrupt. It would be even worse if any rumors spread, although she also knew that there were probably all kinds of rumors now. It must be flying around, but as long as this kind of thing is not confirmed, no one can really take it out and talk about it. But if you give others the reins, that's another matter. "Should I wait in another room first?" Du Yan also noticed Chu Yilan's look, so he immediately asked. If he wanted to marry Chu Yilan, it wouldn't matter. But since there is no such possibility, Always pay attention to the taboos that should be avoided. "No, let's go in together." After hearing Du Yan's words, Chu Yilan turned around and said as if she suddenly made up her mind. At the same time, she glanced at Aunt Qiao who had already walked away with an excuse, and lowered her voice to her face after hearing her words. Instead, Du Yan showed hesitation and said, "Don't be petty and think that I am taking the opportunity to blackmail you. It's pointless to hide now." After saying that, Chu Yilan didn't care whether Du Yan listened to her or not, and walked through the Moon Gate first. , walked towards the main room in the inner courtyard. Du Yan stood there and looked at Chu Yilan's back. He could feel that even though Chu Yilan said this, her back seemed a little stiff when she walked. It was obvious that she herself was extremely nervous at this time. Looking at Chu Yilan like that, Du Yan was somewhat moved in his heart. He knew that Chu Yilan obviously made such a choice under great pressure. But after Du Yan thought about it for a moment, his heart moved again. It¡¯s impossible that Chu Ping didn¡¯t know that the two of him would come at this time, so no matter what the guest was, if Chu Ping really didn¡¯t want others to see him, how could he let Keren stay in his home for so long? Thinking of this, Du Yan suddenly felt a little curious about who was with Chu Ping. He followed Chu Yilan into the main room. There were two people in the main room. Although he didn't know one of them, he thought it was Chu Ping. flat. When he saw the man sitting opposite Chu Ping, Du Yan couldn't help but be startled. Volume 4 "Volume 3: Officials Set Sail" Chapter 105: Choice? not regret! Du Yan couldn't help but be startled when he saw Cheng Huaimin sitting with Chu Ping. He didn't expect to see Hong Ziming and Cheng Huaimin, two old acquaintances of Shencheng, one after another in this day. If it was a coincidence, Du Yan I don't believe it at all. "Uncle Cheng," Chu Yilan was also quite surprised. She bowed slightly to Cheng Huaimin, looked back at Du Yan behind her, and then softly called "Dad" to Chu Ping who was sitting on the main seat. Du Yan walked over. Standing side by side with Chu Yilan, he knew that in front of people like Chu Ping, only being honest was the key, and after he saw Cheng Huaimin, he was even more convinced of this idea. "Secretary Chu," Du Yan used the previous title for Chu Ping. He noticed that Chu Ping's face looked very cool to that of the Chu family siblings. His well-maintained face moved slightly, and then he looked at him with a pair of peaceful eyes, and then Du Yan also followed Chu Yilan's example and bowed slightly to Cheng Huaimin who was sitting aside and looking at him. "Secretary Cheng is here too." "Xiao Du, we meet again," Cheng Huaimin nodded slightly, and then he stood up. He said to Chu Ping, "Secretary Chu, it's time for me to leave. We will have plenty of time to chat in the future." "Yes, I am very crowded here now. Now that you have been transferred here, if you don't come, no one will come." Chu Ping chuckled, and then told Chu Yilan, "Send Uncle Cheng off for me." Although Chu Yilan felt uneasy after hearing her father's instructions, she still smiled and asked Cheng Huaimin, "Uncle Cheng, please transfer to Hexi." "Yes, I came here in a hurry and unprepared for the transfer order issued a few days ago. If I didn't come over to see your father first, I would be completely blind to the situation in Hexi. I need to understand it from the beginning. Just in time, Yilan, please tell Uncle Cheng about the situation here." Cheng Huaimin nodded to Chu Ping and then walked out the door. Chu Yilan had no choice but to accompany Cheng Huaimin out of the main room, but when she walked out of the door, she still couldn't hold it back and looked back slightly at the back of Du Yan, who was standing in front of Chu Ping. Seeing her like this, Cheng Huaimin, who happened to turn around to see this scene, couldn't help but shake his head slightly with emotion. "Sit down." Chu Ping ordered Du Yan. His tone was very calm. He didn't have the calm and powerful aura that is common in other leaders. However, Du Yan knew that the person in front of him was definitely a formidable person. Although he has retired, he still vaguely affects the direction of the entire political situation in Hexi. Even if his career was interrupted due to previous setbacks in his official career, the development direction of the inland provinces in the country is now , but still somewhat influenced by Chu Ping¡¯s previous concepts. But for such an incredible person, he touched his daughter. Thinking of this, Du Yan even admired his own courage. "Yijun has mentioned you more than once before," Chu Ping said slowly. He didn't speak quickly, but Du Yan was so focused that he didn't dare to hear a word of his words. "And Benchu, I told you about you." Not only is he a rare economic talent, but what is even more rare is that he can not only make bold plans, but also have the courage to turn the plans into reality. " At this point, Chu Ping stopped, picked up the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, and looked at it. When Du Yan stood up to get the lighter on the table, he waved his hand slightly to stop him from doing so. Chu Ping did not light the cigarette, but just put it under his nose and sniffed it a few times: "The doctor advised me not to smoke more. You probably haven't heard Xiaolan say this." After hearing what Chu Ping said, Du Yanlue He smiled sheepishly, but a layer of cold sweat broke out in his palms! Fortunately, I didn¡¯t ask Chu Yilan for more details about Chu Ping¡¯s life, otherwise it might have been a self-defeating thing! "In addition, I know something about you," Chu Ping continued to say slowly, "You are from an ordinary working-class family. In addition to your parents, you also have a younger sister. You are an adopted son, but you have a very good relationship with your adoptive parents. "In addition," Chu Ping said slowly, his eyes did not seem to be threatening, but his words revealed invisible pressure, "You also have a girlfriend, or fianc¨¦e, because you have already received a marriage certificate, right?" "" Du Yan was not surprised when Chu Ping told him his situation. He knew that all this was too easy for Chu Ping. In fact, in Hexi, if Chu Ping really wanted to know who There really was no one who could not avoid being dug out by him. Seeing Du Yan nodding silently, a gloomy expression appeared on Chu Ping's peaceful face for the first time. He reached out and grabbed the lighter on the table and lit the cigarette in his hand, but he only took one puff and then twisted it. Died in an ashtray. Looking at the squeezed and deformed cigarette, Du Yan couldn't help but think that in Chu Ping's mind, he probably wanted to kill himself like this. "What are you going to do? I'm asking what you are going to do to Xiaolan," Chu Ping said.His expression returned to calm, he slightly narrowed his phoenix eyes that looked very similar to Chu Yilan, and looked at Du Yan carefully, "You are very smart. I know from the things you have done before that you are not ordinary." That kind of intelligence, but a kind of intelligence that can see things through. In this regard, Bingxian also admires you. I know that you have a good relationship with He Bingxian, but I think you don¡¯t really understand him. It can be said that Bingxian First of all, this person is very arrogant. I have not seen many people in his eyes so far, but he respects you very much. He even compared you to his original self, but said that you are much more mature and sophisticated than he was then. , I can tell you that if he hadn¡¯t persuaded me again and again, I would have left you unable to eat.¡± Suddenly, I heard Chu Ping say such words that were not only direct, but even a little bit arrogant, Du Yan was telling the truth. He was a little surprised, and what made him even more unexpected was that Ding Bingxian had actually seen the relationship between him and Chu Yilan, but before that, he had remained calm, which made Du Yan couldn't help but feel, Although he had never underestimated Ding Bingxian, he was actually negligent. Ding Bingxian was able to lie dormant for such a long time after Chu Ping sadly withdrew, and with his always vicious eyes on people, to say that he couldn't see the hidden things between the two of them, he really underestimated Old Ding. But now Du Yan didn't have time to think too much about Ding Bingxian. Facing Chu Ping's patient eyes that showed invisible pressure at any time, Du Yan thought about it calmly and finally said calmly: "I like Yilan. Regardless of the reason why this happened, I do like her, but I have to marry my fianc¨¦e, and this cannot be changed no matter what the consequences are. " Listening to Du Yan's opening, it was completely closed. Chu Ping's right hand, which was originally on the sofa, suddenly tapped the armrest slightly. Although it was just such a small movement, Du Yan immediately felt the aura emanating from Chu Ping's body and the previous changes. Although He was still sitting so calmly, but Chu Ping at this time seemed completely different from before. "I am not talking to you as a pure father now," although Chu Ping's tone did not change, Du Yan could already feel a certain coldness in his words, "but as a father and a leader of the provincial party committee." When talking to you as someone else, you have to think clearly about the impact that marrying Xiaolan will have on you personally, on your family, and even on your future career partners. I know you should be very clear about what I said. What is it? I can tell you clearly that your marriage to Xiaolan is no longer your own business. If other people knew about it, they would also agree with this decision. " Du Yan listened silently. When he saw Cheng Huaimin just now. , he had already vaguely felt that the matter was a little subtle, because he knew that since Chu Ping knew that he was coming, even if the visitor was Cheng Huaimin, he would not be able to keep Cheng Huaimin at home without caring at all, and even let him bump into him. Now when he heard Chu Ping's words, Du Yan suddenly realized that maybe this was news that Chu Ping wanted to spread deliberately. As if he had read through Du Yan's mind, Chu Ping said slowly: "Lao Cheng came here just now to talk about what you guys did in Huayang at noon. It was very good. I was so angry that I, Chu Ping, were so angry. They have a good relationship with each other's daughters, and they even fought with Renmin University for Xiaolan, and the ones they fought were the sons of Xiao Aihong and Hong Bin. Your plan was good! " At the end of the sentence, Chu Ping's tone suddenly mentioned, but he continued. He steadily picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip: "Do you want to marry your fianc¨¦e now?" "Yes." Du Yan's answer was simple and clear. After hearing this answer, Chu Ping saw that , just glanced at him and then continued to drink tea, Du Yan said: "Secretary Chu, I just admitted that I like Yilan, and I did hit Hong Ziming for her at noon today, but I must make it clear to you. , since you know my situation very well, you must also know the relationship between my fianc¨¦e and I and the things we have experienced, so I cannot marry Yilan. If you hate me because of this, you will even destroy me. I have no complaints, because I am indeed sorry for Yilan." Chu Ping's hand holding the teacup was firmly placed on his lips. Even after hearing these words that could be said to be desperate, the look on his face remained. He was so calm and showed no signs of irritation, but the look he looked at Du Yan became deeper and even emotionless. It wasn't until he took a sip of strong tea that he nodded slowly: "I think I think you want to marry your fianc¨¦e instead of Xiaolan, but you can't tolerate Xiaolan marrying other men, right? " Du Yan's face turned slightly red. If Chu Ping listened to him, It was enough to yell at him immediately after saying that, but now it was all about his thoughts, which made Du Yan feel a little embarrassed for a moment. "I understand, you have a big appetite, and you are even more daring.""" Chu Ping remained calm, then changed the topic and asked, "Do you know Hong Ziming's mother, Xiao Aihong." " Du Yan nodded slightly: "Deputy Secretary of the Shencheng City Party Committee, a powerful figure in charge of the political and legal department. " "She will soon serve as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of Eastern Guangdong, the first provincial and ministerial-level female political and legal committee secretary to date," Chu Ping said lightly, while his eyes drifted to a picture of "The Political and Legal Affairs Committee" on the wall next to him. "Picture of Plum Blossoms in the Snow", Du Yan noticed that the signature of the painting was "Civil and Military Waste Man" "This was given to me by Ziming's father Hong Bin. Our two families are family friends. I made a wrong move at the beginning. Hong Bin My husband and I, Xiao Aihong and his wife, helped me a lot. I, Chu Ping, owe them a favor. " "There are various ways to repay favors," Du Yan, who had been an audience member, suddenly interjected. He saw Chu Ping turning to look at him. Du Yan continued, "When he was in Shencheng, Hong Ziming acted inappropriately and even He was involved in some car smuggling with a complicated background. It was because of this that he was sent to the capital to temporarily avoid the limelight. You should have heard of this. " Du Yan looked at Chu Ping's expression and thought quickly in his mind. He knew that it was meaningless to tell Chu Ping about Hong Ziming's various misdeeds in Shencheng. When the official position reached their level, ordinary people's moral standards Codes and even laws and regulations have long been out of their consideration. Unless it is because of political struggles, no matter how ridiculous things Hong Ziming does, Chu Ping may think that he is not worthy of being cultivated, and will not think that he is Not a good person. Sure enough, when he heard Du Yan's words, Chu Ping raised his head and glanced at him. Although he didn't say anything, this undoubtedly meant that Du Yan continued to speak. "Secretary Chu, you know better than me. Hong Ziming's father, Hong Bin, used to work in the People's Bank of China system. Later, after Vice Premier Shang officially took charge of the daily work of the government, he was transferred to the north to serve as the boss of the Automobile City." Du Yan continued, "Now Hong Ziming can come to Hexi to work as the Tongyang branch. Vice President, no matter what his abilities are, you must know better than me what this means. Even now, even Secretary Cheng has been transferred from Shencheng. Secretary Chu, what do you think of this matter? " After Du Yan finished speaking in one breath, he stopped speaking. He knew what he should say and what he shouldn't say. He even said it clearly even some words that could only be understood but not expressed in words. Looking at Chu Ping's expression, With an expression that had always been difficult to fathom, a thought that seemed absurd but became more likely the more he thought about it suddenly flashed through his mind: "Of course Chu Ping knows what's going on here, but he can only think about it but cannot say it. From this point of view, he may not be Let others say this. ¡± ¡°Whether you can say some words, whether it is said by others or by yourself, is different in taste and result. It¡¯s just that some people can say these words, and some people just can¡¯t. ¡± Du Yan put it He simply said the words directly. Now looking at Chu Ping's expression that seemed to remain unchanged no matter what happened, Du Yan couldn't help but think that maybe it would be time to finally see the truth under Du Yan's gaze. Chu Ping looked at the tea cup on the table, but before he reached out, Du Yan had already picked up the small red clay pot next to him and poured it into his cup. "Have you ever worked as a secretary for Li Peizheng in Pingling? Chu Ping asked casually, but he didn't want Du Yan to answer, so he continued to say, "Li Peizheng is an honest official, but he may not be a capable official." " Hearing what Chu Ping said, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a sudden tremor in his heart. "Chu Ping knew about Li Peizheng, of course, through Ding Bingxian or Chu Yilan, and Du Yan probably had a greater chance of getting to know Li Peizheng through Ding Bingxian, because Chu Ping She will definitely consider that in order to achieve results as soon as possible, Chu Yilan may sometimes appear to be a little eager for quick success. In this case, Li Peizheng, who has always been known for his stability, will of course seem a bit out of date in her opinion. Thinking that Ding Bingxian would give such an impression to Li Peizheng, Du Yan couldn't help but think to himself that maybe Li Peizheng's position as secretary of the county party committee was about to end. In fact, even Du Yan had to admit that Chu Ping had such an impression on Li Peizheng. The "official" comment can be said to be just right and very objective. After Li Peizheng arrived in Pingling, although at first he seemed to break the rules and did not follow the previous style of mainland political cadres who always emphasized political colors and adhered to the conservative style. However, judging from the development in the past three years, Li Peizheng has been somewhat unable to achieve his goals, and has even made no achievements. It is obvious that Li Peizheng's economic ideas are still stuck. In terms of the early model, although he did put in a lot of effort, he still had no particularly outstanding results. If it weren't for the gradual formation of several important industries in the new district that brought him some glory, it can be said that Li Peizheng was not successful in the past few years when he was in charge of Pingling.What Du Yan didn't understand was why Chu Ping suddenly mentioned Li Peizheng at this time. He knew that Chu Ping was by no means the kind of person who just said whatever he thought of, so in this case, things might be a little more interesting. Sure enough, just as he thought of this, Chu Ping continued: "Taihua has a relatively complete railway system, and because of its special geographical location, a few years ago I imagined that we would build a network radiating to Hexi and connecting Hexi with it as the center. Among the railway projects in several provinces in the mainland, Pingling was selected as a transfer station among the central hubs. " "The inter-provincial railway plan," Du Yan said softly, contained countless meanings for Chu Ping, even The name of almost a lifetime ambition and dream, but then Du Yan shook his head slightly and said with a hint of regret, "Unfortunately, this plan came at the wrong time and came too early." For the first time, after hearing Du Yan's words, There was an unusual change on Chu Ping's face! Sometimes, even if some good things benefit one party or even the country and the people, not only may they not be realized, they may even die midway due to various reasons. Or, if it is done by others in the future, it will be a good thing, but if it is done by others now, it may become a disaster. The inter-provincial railway plan proposed by Chu Ping with great ambition at that time could allow the inland provinces to communicate with developed coastal areas early and thus boost the inland economy earlier. However, if this plan is realized, it will undoubtedly affect some coastal areas. Competition and development in important cities. Especially for some people, it is the backwardness and isolation of the inland provinces that can not only provide cheap resources to coastal cities, but also create conditions for the monopoly of resources in the future. This includes not only the rich inherent resources of the inland provinces , including some energy monopolies that are firmly in the hands of certain people and have a huge impact on the country and unimaginable economic benefits. For example, the power system almost completely controls the lifeline of the national economy and even resource allocation! And Chu Ping¡¯s plan undoubtedly violated the interests of those Tongtian bigwigs! Because of this, Chu Ping's plan was questioned and even made things difficult by all parties as soon as it was launched. It is also because of this that Chu Ping finally left Hexi in a hurry when he was in the prime of life, which was the golden stage of a person's political career. political arena. Now, Du Yan directly revealed this scar that was absolutely taboo and painful for Chu Ping. This made even Chu Ping, who had always been steady and calm, finally have some fluctuations in his emotions. Looking at Du Yan, after a while Chu Ping said: "I don't need to explain it to you in detail. Since you already know what Hong Ziming and Cheng Huaimin came to Hexi for, don't you think you should marry Yilan? I I think you also know that if you want to make achievements in your future career, based on your current ability and performance, if you go well, it is not impossible to get the treatment of a deputy minister or even a full minister when you retire, but you should also Understand, what I¡¯m talking about is that when everything is going smoothly for you and no one is targeting you, judging from the commotion you are making now, your future may not have a happy ending. " Chu Ping just finished speaking, "Dang. There was a faint sound of the collision of objects coming from the door. "Xiaolan, come in." Chu Ping said in a slightly raised tone towards the door. As the door rang softly, Chu Yilan walked into the room holding a set of plain porcelain tea sets inside a sapphire pigment disk. . "Dad," Chu Yilan didn't even look at Du Yan, but carefully placed the tea set on the table in front of Chu Ping, "This was given to me by the New District Succi Factory when I went down to inspect the work. I usually drink tea, why don't you see if the quality is good enough for a regular cup of tea?" Chu Ping looked at Chu Yilan, who had a natural expression, and then looked at the plain porcelain tea set on the table, and stretched out his hand. He picked up a cup and touched it slightly, then put it down. "Xiaolan, about your affairs, you should know why Huaimin came here today. What do you think about your own affairs?" Chu Ping did not pick up Chu Yilan's words at all and asked straight to the point. The calmness on Chu Yilan's face suddenly shook. She couldn't help but look back at Du Yan, then turned back and said to Chu Ping in a declarative tone: "Dad, I've thought about it clearly. I will never get married again." As soon as Chu Yilan finished saying this, she heard the chair Du Yan was sitting on behind her creaking. She did not look back at Du Yan, but continued to say to Chu Ping, "Dad. "Uncle Cheng has a good relationship with you, but he must have come to Hexi with bad intentions this time. Hong Ziming also served as the vice president of the People's Bank of China branch as soon as he came. It seems that they are really paying attention to Hexi." "So you rejected Hong Ziming's proposal?" Chu Ping looked at Chu Yilan, then at Du Yan sitting behind, then leaned back in the chair and raised his head slightly to look.From above, he let out a soft sigh, "I have stepped back. I can ignore your young people's affairs, but you can't let me worry about you when I am old." "Dad" Chu Yilan just called There was a sound, and then suddenly stopped. Du Yan noticed from behind that her shoulders were shaking slightly, obviously trying not to cry. "Du Yan," Chu Ping called Du Yan's name directly for the first time, "I have heard about your fianc¨¦e. She is very virtuous and capable. I heard that she has done a lot in Donghai City. The most important thing is that I know that you are indeed very good. Care about her." At this point, although he immediately turned his head away when he saw Chu Yilan, Chu Ping still continued: "Cheng Huaimin came here just now to propose marriage for the Hong family, but he should also know my attitude. So let¡¯s forget about it.¡± Hearing what Chu Ping said, Du Yan nodded secretly. He had already guessed that Chu Ping deliberately let Cheng Huaimin see him coming back with Chu Yilan in order to reveal the news to him. In addition to the fact that he had just beaten Hong Ziming, it was unlikely that anyone with a temper would raise the issue of marriage again, let alone someone like Xiao Aihong. Thinking about it this way, when Chu Ping recalled that Hong Bin and his wife had helped him, he should have felt a little guilty. However, Du Yan also knew that for a person like Chu Ping, this little apology could not shake his long-established determination. It was obvious that Chu Ping had no intention of letting Chu Yilan marry Hong Ziming from the beginning! "So Du Yan, I asked you to come today just to ask about your plans for Xiaolan. Now that you have made it clear, I will respect your choice." Chu Ping didn't seem to want to after hearing this. Chu Yilan took the opportunity to interrupt and continued, "I know you have a good relationship with the Song family, but I also remind you that I have seen the restructuring plan you made. I can only describe it in six words. You will never die without a burial." "I think you also understand that no matter whether you handle this matter well or not, there will be no good results." Chu Ping's words made Chu Yilan's face change, and she looked back at Du Yan, with a look in her eyes. However, there was a hint of concern that had never been revealed before. Looking at this scene, the two men in the room had their own thoughts in their hearts. Du Yan smiled slightly at Chu Yilan. Of course he knew that Chu Ping was definitely not trying to scare him. Just as Liang Benchu ??said to him back then, there were some things that others could do that he couldn't do. Now Chu Ping simply told him If he continues like this, the road ahead will definitely be extremely dangerous! However, Du Yan also knew that he had no way out. He stood up and bowed slightly to Chu Ping. Under Chu Yilan's worried gaze, Du Yan said: "Secretary Chu, I am very aware of my current situation, although I dare not say that it is because of this that I cannot be with Yilan. Marriage, but I believe it won't do any harm to her. " "You mean, if you encounter setbacks in the future, your fianc¨¦e can share the difficulties with you, but Xiaolan won't?" Chu Ping looked at it. He looked at Du Yan and saw that Chu Yilan immediately turned her head and glared at Du Yan after hearing what he said. Chu Ping slightly picked up the cigarette on the table, took out another one and put it under his nose and smelled it gently. It's a pity that you haven't met Xiaolan's mother. If you had met her, you wouldn't say this. " "Secretary Chu, I don't mean that. I mean, Yilan wants to inherit your political ambitions. If it's because of me. It¡¯s not worth being implicated. Also, do you think that if I really marry Yilan, both the Song family and Governor Gao Ke will continue to support my move in restructuring as before? " Chu Ping's hand holding the cigarette paused slightly, he put the cigarette on the table, and then took a good look at Du Yan. "What are your plans in the future?" Chu Ping asked. "Secretary Chu, I will go to the capital to attend Song Jiayi's wedding in October. After that, I will report to Mr. Youbo of the Song family on the restructuring plan." Seeing that Chu Ping has already revealed that he wants to end this conversation Meaning, Du Yan decided to tell his future plans. He thought that the meeting with Chu Ping might only be once. But now that he thought about it, Du Yan discovered that he had always followed Chu Ping's original plan. , but as a latecomer, because of the extra decades of experience and knowledge, I was able to gradually avoid the dangerous shoals that caused Chu Ping's official career to collapse. Put your own plans into action. And now, it¡¯s time for him to finally step out of Chu Ping¡¯s footsteps. Just as Gao Ke finally stepped out of Chu Ping¡¯s influence and developed his own political ambitions, now it¡¯s Du Yan¡¯s turn. Chu Ping nodded silently. He looked at Du Yan and then at Chu Yilan, who was standing next to him with a slightly lonely expression, and said, "I don't want to ask any more questions about your affairs. Everything is your own decision. Everything is yours." It¡¯s all yourselves to bear.¡± Seeing Chu Yi.After hearing his words, Chu Ping showed an expression of joy or shock. A rare and slightly teasing smile appeared on Chu Ping's face. Then he turned to look at Du Yan, but his expression slowly changed. He lowered his voice: "Since you don't regret your choice, I won't force you, but you have to remember that from now on, things between you will be completely resolved by yourselves, and you won't get anything from me. Help, if there are any rumors about what happened between you, I will only protect my daughter. As for you, it is up to you to deal with everything." Chu Ping's voice was not harsh, but Du Yan felt that he heard it. There was an indescribable aura of thunder in it. Perhaps at this moment, Chu Ping seemed to have truly transformed into the feudal official who was in charge of a province. But he was like this just for his daughter. ! "In officialdom, sometimes you should know how to advance and retreat, and sometimes you should know how to hide, but these are just means, not fundamental. What is really important is that you should know who is your friend and who is your enemy at any time, and at the same time, you should also know who is your friend and who is your enemy. How do these friends and enemies come about? Only by knowing this can we understand how to avoid those enemies and how to make friends. It was because I didn't understand this before that I made the wrong step," Chu Ping seemed. He shook his head slightly with emotion, then he stood up and walked slowly towards the door, but when he passed by Du Yan, he stopped, turned to look at Du Yan and said in a slightly erratic voice: "Remember me What I said to you today is that there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends in the officialdom. As for what to do, it¡¯s up to you. " "Thank you, Secretary Chu," Du Yan said slightly to Chu Ping, who was walking towards the door. Bowing, he knew that Chu Ping's last few words could be said to be the experience gained from his many years of ups and downs as an official, and Du Yan also vaguely realized that these words were not just Chu Ping's general advice to him, but indeed had a profound meaning. Tips. However, Du Yan also knew that with Chu Ping¡¯s identity and status, since he said he would not help him, then he really would not help him! Chu Yilan accompanied Chu Ping out for a long time before returning to the main room. Her eyes were slightly red. When she saw Du Yan approaching, she stepped back with a strange and distant look in her eyes: "I'll take you out. "I'm sorry Yilan." Du Yan could only say this. He knew that he had indeed hurt Chu Yilan, especially when he told Chu Ping that he decided to choose Su Qian. Having arrived outside the house early, she had almost heard the conversation between herself and Chu Ping. "You didn't apologize to me. It was my own fault from the beginning. I shouldn't have gotten involved with you." Chu Yilan turned around to walk out of the hall, but Du Yan grabbed her from behind. "Yilan, promise me, give me some time," Du Yan suddenly whispered in Chu Yilan's ear. He saw Chu Yilan's eyes suddenly light up, and he shook his head slightly, "Some things cannot be changed, but I can promise you that one day I will make you feel that you have not been wronged by being with me. " "What I care about is not whether you are wronged or not," Chu Yilan said with a hint of stubbornness, but then sighed softly. "My dad said you have a big appetite and a lot of sex and courage. You are really good. Do you want me to spend time with you without knowing it?" "Of course not, but who knows what will happen in the future? What?" At this point, Du Yan couldn't help but think of what Chu Ping said to him, "Yilan, promise me, give me some time." Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan in confusion, she didn't know how to respond. Du Yan made this request that she clearly knew was hopeless. After a while, she turned around and walked silently out the door. Du Yan followed Chu Yilan, and the two of them walked to the door of the courtyard without saying a word. Aunt Qiao, who originally saw the guests coming out and was going to open the door, saw this scene and returned to the house knowingly. For a moment, the courtyard There were only two people standing opposite each other at the door, silent. However, it was Chu Yilan who broke the silence first. "Cheng Huaimin is here to serve as the secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee this time," Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan, "He asked you specifically just now, and he also said" At this point, Chu Yilan looked at him with slightly doubtful eyes. Talking to Du Yan, "He said that some superior leaders are very concerned about you, especially the restructuring plan you proposed, which attracted the attention of the relevant leaders." Du Yan's expression immediately changed. He saw that Chu Yilan was confused because of the doubt on his face. Frowning slightly, she couldn't help but raise her hand. Before Chu Yilan could stop shouting in a panic, he had already gently stroked her eyebrows with his fingers: "Don't frown, you won't look beautiful." After that, Du Yan Before Chu Yilan could let out a dissatisfied scolding, he reached out and opened the courtyard door and walked out. Chu Yilan didn¡¯t expect Du Yan to leave immediately. She was stunned and immediately followed him out. But when she got to the street, her expression changed.After calming down, and after politely shaking hands with Du Yan and saying goodbye, Chu Yilan watched Du Yan turn around and leave without any nostalgia. Looking at his back, Chu Yilan couldn't help but feel a trace of lost melancholy in her heart. But when she returned to the courtyard and saw Chu Ping standing under the Moon Gate looking at her, Chu Yilan finally showed unconcealable sadness in her eyes. "Xiaolan, come here and talk to me." Chu Ping walked to the bamboo bench in the yard and sat down. Watching his daughter sitting silently in front of him, Chu Ping showed a smile that rarely appeared in front of others, "Actually, you know, If I want to see that kid today, I won¡¯t do anything to him, right?¡± ¡°Well,¡± Chu Yilan nodded, then she slowly raised her head and looked at Chu Ping, ¡°Dad, what do you think of him?¡± "How about it?" Chu Ping looked up at the flower stand above his head, nodded slightly, and then slowly shook his head, "He has the courage and courage to do what others don't dare to do. It's a pity that he was born in In a civilian family, it is destined that his success will not belong to him, and the more successful he is, the more dangerous the outcome waiting for him will be. " Seeing the worry on his daughter's eyebrows after hearing this, Chu Ping gently said. Sighing: "Xiaolan, I don't blame you or him for what happened to you. I think if your mother was alive, she would be satisfied with my attitude. But listen to dad and let it go. This will be harmful to both of you." "Everything is fine." Chu Yilan shook her head slightly at a loss. She stood up and walked to her room in confusion. Looking at her daughter's lonely back, Chu Ping was silent for a long time and whispered to herself: "Du Yan, step out now." , But there is no way out." When he returned to the Provincial Party School, it was completely dark. From a distance, Du Yan saw the bright lights in his room in the dormitory building. Du Yan knew that Lao E and the others must be there at this time. Can't sleep. In the Huayang Hotel, Xiao Zhu had already told him that the result of his arrogant resignation was that everyone, including Director Xia of the Provincial Government Inspection Office, was left in the cold. Everyone was no longer on the scene, and Director Xia really had no choice but to reprimand Deputy Director Xu to put the whole matter on the back foot. Du Yan walked slowly along the gravel road. When he entered the dormitory building, he felt that the people passing by him were looking at him strangely. Could it be that the news spread to the party school so quickly, or was someone deliberately letting the news out and trying to punish themselves? Du Yan was thinking as he walked up to the second floor. When he just reached the door, before he could reach out to open the door, the door opened automatically. Lao Wang's face, which always seemed to be full of worries, appeared at the door. He was slightly startled when he saw Du Yan, and then looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, and then stepped aside. "Lao Wang, I'm really sorry for what happened today. I didn't expect to involve you" Du Yan, who thought Lao Wang was angry, walked into the room and explained to Lao Wang with a smile, but soon he felt Something seemed wrong in the room. When he followed the eyes of the men who were crowded together and looked towards his bed, and saw a pair of beautiful girls sitting side by side on his bed, Du Yan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but asked in shock: " "Why can't it be you?" "Why can't it be us?" Zhao Xiaoyun, wearing a striking military uniform and showing off his hot figure, asked coldly. Next to her, Song Jiawen, who was wearing a pink and white summer dress, rested her small chin on Zhao Xiaoyun's shoulder, squinting like an elf who had just played a prank, and looked at the stunned Du Yan with a smile.
