Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    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!"
