Liu Shengli's path to politics began in Tianhe County, where she was in the queue, and the Baishuigou joint production contracting incident attracted her attention from the provincial party committee. After that, Liu Shengli went all the way from deputy secretary and secretary of the county party committee, secretary general and deputy mayor of Yangshan City, to the secretary general of the province, and became the youngest political star among the cadres at the prefectural and municipal levels in H province. In 1993, when Tang Ping was appointed secretary of the Yangshan Municipal Party Committee, he wanted Liu Shengli to return to Yangshan City to be deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor, but the provincial party committee at that time did not agree, and Tang Ping had no choice but to give up. At the end of 1997, Yangshan's leadership was readjusted, and Tang Ping, who had been re-elected secretary of the municipal party committee, repeated his old remarks, and the provincial party committee, after careful study, transferred Liu Shengli back to Yangshan to become deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor. The day he reported to the Yangshan Municipal Party Committee happened to be Liu Shengli's 45th birthday.

In 1997, Yangshan was no longer what it used to be, the urban area had expanded fivefold and grown four times taller, with roads extending in all directions and high-rise buildings. Although the development of Yangshan is not satisfactory compared with developed cities such as provincial capitals, Liu Shengli can also see that Tang Ping and his team have done a really good job in the years since she left Yangshan, and the basic framework of a modern big city has risen.

Tang Ping was a little proud, and when he took Liu Shengli to inspect around, he asked, "This transaction is still a little interesting, right?"

Liu Shengli sighed and said: "It's not easy, Uncle Tang, it's really not easy for you all these years!"

Tang Ping's expression was pleasant: "As an official, you always have to benefit one party, you have done something with your life, ask yourself, you can do it well!" At this time, their car was passing by the monument to the dead miners, Tang Ping pointed to the monument outside the car window, and said, "Including this mine park and the monument to the dead miners, I proposed to build them." Some comrades want to develop and build buildings here, but I am against it. As I said, Liu Cunyi and the era he represents is over, but the spirit of Liu Cunyi and those heroic miners is still the precious wealth of our coal city!"

Liu Shengli said: "Uncle Tang, I know that no matter how big you are, you can't forget that you are a miner!"

Tang Ping sighed: "Yes, I can't forget that I am an old miner, and I don't dare to forget the miners who shed blood and fought hard for the country! Victory, do you know? We are in trouble now, the coal resources in the mining area have been exhausted, the mining area is facing a change of production, and nearly a quarter of the city's population has become a problem to eat. ”

Liu Shengli knew the difficult situation in the mining area, she participated in the coordination when she was the secretary general of the provincial **, and after taking office in Yangshan, she went down and ran around, and she already knew it, so she nodded and said: "Secretary Tang, I am conducting research in the mining area, and I want to find time to report to you." ”

Tang Ping waved his hand: "Don't report it, I know the situation better than you." On the one hand, the depletion of resources in mining areas is one thing, and on the other hand, the country is adjusting the industrial structure, and our reform is facing a historic breakthrough. Therefore, we can neither wait nor rely on it, but we must show our historical conscience and solve the problem in a down-to-earth manner!"

Liu Shengli said: "Yes, this is the responsible attitude!"

The car drove slowly on the street of Yeyang Mountain, and the neon lights that kept flashing were a little dazzling.

Tang Ping continued: "Therefore, we are ready to transfer the development rights of 2,300 mu of land on the shore of East Lake, and use the land transfer fee to establish a relief fund for coal mine conversion, so that the family can make a fortune and seek our development." ”

Liu Shengli heard about this as soon as he arrived in Yangshan, and knew that many comrades opposed it, so he smiled and said: "The planning of more than 2,000 acres of land on the shore of East Lake is an urban forest, and it is very difficult to change it into development land, right?"

Tang Ping said: "So you have to do the work, you have to change the plan! Shengli, you have been the secretary general of the province for three years, and Comrade Sun Lao Sun Likun is very influential in the province.

Liu Shengli smiled bitterly: "Uncle Tang, why did you think of bringing me back? Isn't it good for me to stay in the provincial capital!"

Tang Ping said: "You are a cross-century cadre, I still expect you to take Yangshan across the century!" patted Liu Shengli on the shoulder, "I also said a selfish word, Shengli, you are our own child, I can rest assured that you come!"

Liu Shengli joked: "Uncle Tang, aren't you afraid that I will fight you?"

Tang Ping glanced at Liu Shengli: "What are you fighting with me?"

Liu Shengli said tactfully: "It seems that there are different opinions on the development of East Lake, isn't it? Our planning bureau has not unified its opinions, and Chen Tao, director of the planning bureau, even picked his pick and went to the nursery to defend the urban forest. ”

Tang Ping waved his hand: "This young man, after being scolded by me a few times, he is in a mood, and I will approve him to go to the nursery to grow on the spot! Let him calm and calm! Of course, the cadre policy is still the cadre policy, and it is being given to him!"

Liu Shengli said meaningfully: "Secretary Tang, I think Chen Tao is a little ahead of his time!"

Tang Ping was unhappy: "Who doesn't have a romantic sense of advancement? But the Hongqi Coal Mine is going to change production, so many people have to go to work, eat, survive, and develop, and this is all very realistic! Victory, I'll say hello to you first, you, the mayor, have to be realistic for me, don't listen to the wind and rain, be timid, and can't take a step!"

Liu Shengli wanted to say something, but he hesitated for a while, and finally didn't say anything.

Tang Ping still said that his mood was much better: "There are quite a few positive reactions! As soon as our plan was revealed, many powerful real estate development companies rushed to it! Everyone said that this not only solved the livelihood problem of the Hongqi mine, but also objectively promoted the urban construction of Yangshan City!"

Liu Shengli thought for a while and said, "Secretary Tang, if you're not tired, let's go to East Lake now to see the scenery, okay?"

Tang Ping had already sensed something, and waved his hand: "I'm not tired, Mayor Liu, you really have this Yaxing, if you want to go to East Lake at night, I'll accompany you!" immediately explained to the driver: "Don't go home first, go to East Lake!"

The night of East Lake is quiet, showing a charming lake light and water color under the starlight and moonlight, and the small trees on the shore of the lake are forested, lush and green, quite poetic and picturesque.

As soon as Liu Shengli got out of the car, he said, "Secretary Tang, this is really a rare and good place!"

Tang Ping said: "Yes, in order to rectify this East Lake, five years ago, when the financial situation was so tight, I invested 50 million yuan ruthlessly, and also mobilized the youth of the whole city to fulfill my obligations. Oh, there are all youth forests over there, all of which were planted for me by girls and boys in our city, totaling more than 300,000 volunteer working days. ”

Liu Shengli looked at the lake and asked, "Secretary Tang, are you willing to give up such a piece of feng shui treasure?"

Tang Ping sighed: "I am reluctant to have any way? If it is not a treasure of feng shui, who wants to develop it? I am reluctant to let the children trap the wolf! The problem of the Hongqi mine needs to be solved!"

Liu Shengli shook his head: "That's a pity, future generations will scold! Secretary Tang, don't decide this matter now? Look at this mountain, this water, this forest, it's rare for our Yangshan to have such a little green resources, and it's your heart's meat, let's still keep it! Now experts are talking about it, green resources are the lungs of the city, and we can't be heartless and lungless! Secretary Tang, I don't think it's better to rush to the province to change the plan, let me listen to the opinions of all sides, come up with a plan, and then report to you and the municipal party committee, do you think it is okay?"

Tang Ping was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes, I'll give you a month!"

When he got home that night, Liu Shengli was not in a good mood, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should not come to Yangshan to work with Tang Ping. Tang Ping is his father's old partner, and he keeps saying that she is his own child, and many things are difficult to do, such as the development of East Lake. East Lake is really a commercial housing residential area according to Tang Ping's meaning, not to mention the urban forest planning, East Lake itself is also finished, tens of thousands of people discharge domestic sewage into the lake all day and night, so how can it be obtained.

Just thinking like this, her mother Sun Chenghui came over and nagged tirelessly, saying that Liu Panpan had come again today and had been waiting for her for a long time. As soon as Liu Shengli heard it, he knew that Liu Panpan wanted to ask her to help transfer work. After Liu Panpan was transferred from the army in 1985, he was assigned to work in a military industrial enterprise in Yangshan, which had been in a sluggish state and was said to have recently gone bankrupt, and Liu Panpan, who was the deputy director of the factory, was also laid off.

Sun Chenghui was very anxious about Liu Panpan: "Victory, tell me, your sister Panpan is almost fifty years old, where can she go to work after being laid off? It's difficult for Mom, Panpan is not Mom's own daughter, and she came to find her again and again, Mom can't help but make a favor for her!"

Liu Shengli was very unkind to his mother: "Mom, it is not Panpan who has been laid off in Yangshan, and it is impossible to arrange for her to enter the agency." Civil servants have to take exams, and there are also age restrictions. If she comes again, you might as well ask her to find the brave Yazhong company and see what arrangements they have there?"

Sun Chenghui nagged: "I also told Pan Pan about this, and I also said hello to your uncle and Dare Dou, but Pan Pan felt that he was a national cadre who was transferred from the army and didn't want to work for the self-employed......"

Liu Shengwei was displeased: "Mom, it's not good if Panpan thinks like this, dare to fight is not self-employed now, I heard that her Asia-China company has started a joint-stock cooperative system, which is also an important part of the socialist market economy." As long as they follow the right path, I think the future is very bright......"

Just as he was saying this, the doorbell rang, Liu Shengli stopped talking to his mother, and motioned to his husband Qian Yuan to open the door with his eyes.

As soon as the door opened, Zheng Xusheng, the deputy mayor in charge of urban construction, walked in.

Zheng Xusheng entered the door and asked, "Mayor Liu, how did you talk with Secretary Tang?"

Liu Shengli smiled: "It's good, it's good, Mayor Zheng, let's sit inside." ”

Zheng Xusheng walked into the inner room with Liu Shengli and sat down, and Qian Yuan hurriedly went over to make tea.

Zheng Xusheng said: "It's not easy to convince Secretary Tang, Mayor Liu, I'm afraid it's only you." Secretary Tang has a soft spot for you, and before you came, he let it go, saying that he asked the province for a young and promising female mayor......"

Liu Shengli waved his hand: "Lao Zheng, don't praise me, I still have to criticize you first, as the deputy mayor in charge of urban construction, why don't you adhere to your principles? Ah? How can the more than 2,000 acres of land on the edge of the East Lake be moved? At this point, you are really not as good as Chen Tao, director of the Planning Bureau!"

Zheng Xusheng looked like he was suffering: "Mayor Liu, you don't know Secretary Tang's temper ......"

Liu Shengli took cover for his senior secretary: "What's wrong with Secretary Tang's temper? I think it's very good, reasonable, and very democratic! Oh, by the way, Secretary Tang gave me a month, waiting for me to get a new plan, let's make it clear, I want to ask you for this plan!" looked up and saw Qian Yuan who was making tea, and said: "Qian Yuan, don't be busy, go to the living room to watch TV, Mayor Zheng and I have to talk about some important work." ”

Qian Yuan was a little embarrassed: "Okay, okay, you can talk, I won't bother!" After that, he walked out.

Liu Shengli ordered again: "Qian Yuan, bring the door!"

Qian Yuan turned around, closed the door gently, the smile on his face disappeared, and he picked up his coat and prepared to go out.

Sun Chenghui asked: "Qian Yuan, it's so late, where are you going to go?"

Qian Yuan coped and said, "Oh, Mom, I'm ...... I have a job too!"

Sun Chenghui grabbed Qian Yuan and asked again: "Qian Yuan, tell me about it, do you really want Liu Panpan to go to Liu Dangdou's company? Does Liu Dangdou's company have a future?"

Qian Yuan snorted: "Mayor Liu said that if there is a future, there is a future!"

With that, he opened the door and left.
