When he was about to get off work, Xiong Wenbin asked him to go over with Zhao Dong, saying that he had just received a notice in the afternoon that the city's regional adjustment of the overall merger of Hetang into Meixi Town had been approved by the provincial civil affairs department, and Tan Qiping happened to have no official arrangements tonight, so he invited them over for dinner.

Tan Qiping also invited Zhou Ming to go over, and Shen Huai pulled Zhao Dong and drove to the north side of Xuetang Street to pick up Zhou Ming.

Meixi Town has a special car for Shen Huai, He Qingshe, and Yuan Hongjun, but there is no full-time driver, and other town leaders can only use vehicles when they go out on official business.

Zhou Ming is just an ordinary deputy mayor, and he has not yet been publicized to the extent of bringing his own car, and he has been commuting by bus during this time, and his treatment is far worse than when he was in the Municipal Planning Commission.

Shen Huai was extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Ming stepping on Song Xiaojun in front of him today, and immediately twisted Song Xiaojun with him and gave him a nail to touch. Regardless of whether Zhou Ming complained to Xiong Wenbin behind his back, since he was going to Tan Qiping's house for dinner together, Shen Huai really couldn't let Zhou Ming take the bus by himself.

In the car, Zhou Ming did not mention the matter of Jinfeng Paper, and this incident did not happen today; Shen Huai drove the car himself, while he sat in the back seat with Zhao Dong, and there was no idle word.

It was precisely Zhou Ming who avoided mentioning Jinfeng Paper, and Shen Huai knew that today's incident made him stumble in his heart and couldn't let go of it - in this regard, Shen Huai just smiled in his heart: others are uncomfortable, and it is not that he is uncomfortable.

Xiong Daini and her mother Bai Sumei had already rushed to Tan Qiping's house to help the nanny and Tan Qiping's lover prepare dinner together. Tan Qiping's lover has no acquaintances in Donghua, although there are not a few people who flatter her, but she is also picky, she is only close to Xiong Wenbin's family, and she gets together when she has nothing to do.

Shen Huai parked the car in the yard, Xiong Daini was standing in the yard looking at the autumn flowers of Jiang Xie, he saw Xiong Daini wearing a white sari shirt, her lower abdomen bulging slightly, and she was growing more and more plump, with a mature charm, knowing that she was pregnant.

Zhao Dong got out of the car and greeted Xiong Dani: "How many months have you been?"

"More than three months, about the same time as your Mingxia," Xiong Daini greeted Shen Huai and Zhao Dong with a smile, and didn't notice the slight unhappiness on her husband Zhou Ming's face, and said to Zhao Dong, "I met your Mingxia when I went shopping today." I told her, if we want to have a son at the same time, we will worship brothers, and if we give birth to a daughter at the same time, we will worship Jinlan, if there is a boy and a girl, our two families will give them fingers for marriage, Zhao Dong, do you agree?"

"You're having an arranged marriage. Tan Qiping walked out with Xiong Wenbin and Su Kaiwen at this time, heard the conversation in the courtyard, and interjected with a smile.

"Tan Ji. Zhao Dong followed Shen Huai to greet Tan Qiping.

"Xiao Zhao's lover is also pregnant? Then let her come over for dinner too, just to be a companion with Xiao Xiong. Tan Qiping said kindly.

Except for Tan Qiping's several visits to Meigang, Zhao Dong accompanied Shen Huai to meet Tan Qiping once before in public. Tan Qiping not only asked him to come over with Shen Huai for dinner this time - this kind of banquet, presumably there are thousands of people in Donghua who would like to have the opportunity to participate - at this time, he also asked him to go back and pick up his wife, Zhao Dong was quite surprised, but it can only be understood that Tan Qiping is approachable.

Shen Huai handed the car key to Zhao Dong and said, "You go and pick up Mingxia." ”

"Xiao Zhao made a phone call to talk to your lover, just let Huang Xi go......" Tan Qiping said.

"Don't be so troublesome, it's easy for my wife to take a taxi from home. Zhao Dong said that he really didn't dare to take a stand and ask Tan Qiping's driver to drive for him to pick up his wife.

"No trouble, how much trouble can there be?" Tan Qiping said, not allowing Zhao Dong to refuse, and directly turned around and called Huang Xi, who was helping in the kitchen, to drive to pick up people, and asked Shen Huai and Zhao Dong to come into the living room to talk.

There was no one else, everyone just sat in the living room and talked.

Tan Qiping sat in the middle on the brown soft leather sofa, his legs cocked, and said to Shen Huai: "Meixi Town was the central town of the county-owned district in the early days, and the county-owned district was abolished, but the foundation of Meixi Town is still there. Now that Hetang Town is being incorporated, both the resident population and various financial, taxation and economic indicators are in line with the requirements of mega towns. At present, the province must grasp the rise of the county economy, and the city must grasp the township economy. In addition to the existing township streets where the county seat is located, I also plan to select a few typical townships from Donghua that have excellent achievements in development, and upgrade them to deputy director-level towns, so as to promote the development of Donghua. As far as the current development trend of Meixi Town is concerned, as long as it is maintained, it will definitely occupy a place......"

At present, in the southeast coastal areas of China, some economically strong towns have been gradually upgraded to deputy department-level towns. However, as far as Donghua City is concerned, at present, only the townships and sub-districts where the county seat is located are sub-department-level towns, and no townships and towns with particularly strong achievements in economic development have emerged.

Tangzha District had a population of less than 300,000 at the beginning, but after the merger of Meixi Town and Hetang, the population was more than 90,000. The three counties in the northwest of Donghua City are poverty-stricken counties supported by the state, and their annual fiscal revenue is between 20 million and 40 million, and Meixi Town's fiscal revenue will reach 25 million this year after merging with Hetang.

In 92 and 93, the growth rate of coastal cities was very large, but Donghua was lukewarm and did not make any special improvement. Tan Qiping is the secretary of the municipal party committee, and he can't directly interfere in the work of the municipal government, but he picks seven or eight economically strong towns to upgrade them exceptionally, and with the effect of a leader, with the overall uplift of a region, maybe he will achieve good results, and it is also something he can do to cross Gao Tianhe.

Shen Huai didn't know if this was Xiong Wenbin or someone else giving Tan Qiping advice......

Among the many officials at the department level in Donghua, there are very few who are about the same age as Shen Huai, and even fewer are Liao Liao; and even fewer have the opportunity to serve as the number one person in a township or department level like Shen Huai; and there is not a single deputy department level who is 25 or 6 years old.

Although the Zhongyāng Organization Department has not yet officially promulgated regulations on the number of years of promotion for party and government cadres, the requirements in this regard are becoming more and more clear.

Even if Shen Huai's results are eye-catching, if he doesn't want to be particularly eye-catching, according to the regular procedures, he will have to stay up for another year or two before being promoted to the deputy director level.

However, Meixi Town was upgraded to a deputy department-level town, and Shen Huai and He Qingshe were the main party and government positions in Meixi Town, and it was normal for the tide to rise.

However, Shen Huai is not greedy for this deputy director level, so when he heard Tan Qiping say this, he also treated it calmly.

Tan Qiping saw that Shen Huai's face was calm, knowing that a deputy director level was not a particularly big deal in the eyes of the junior of the Song family, so he changed the topic, cared about Zhou Ming's work, and asked: "Zhou Ming has been in Meixi Town for more than half a month, is there anything that is not suitable for?"

Zhou Ming was surprised by the promotion of Meixi Town, and was thinking about how many places in Meixi Town would be promoted after the upgrade, Shen Huai and He Qingshe would be promoted to the deputy department, and how many regular seats would Meixi Town have?

After the merger of Hetang and Meizhen, the number of deputy secretaries and deputy mayors will become a little large, and Yuan Hongjun can only succumb to He Qingshe and serve as deputy secretaries, and the status of others will naturally be worse. Zhou Ming calculated in his heart that in addition to Yuan Hongjun and Li Feng, there would probably only be two or three deputy mayors who could be clearly promoted to the main department.

Zhou Ming naturally hoped that it would be his turn, but thinking of Shen Huai's attitude towards him today, if the final personnel list was decided by Shen Huai, his hope was very slim.

Of course, the final decision on the personnel of Meixi Town lies in the district, and Yang Yuquan, the secretary of the district party committee, almost wears the same pants as Shen Huai. And once Yang Yuquan and Shen Huai have a tacit understanding, it is impossible for Pan Shihua to intervene in the personnel appointment of Meixi Town.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming was secretly anxious in his heart, and he didn't care that Tan Qiping turned the topic to him so quickly, and when he saw everyone looking at him, his brain was a little stuck.

Su Kaiwen saw that Zhou Ming was a little distracted, so he picked up the topic for him: "By the way, Yu Wenliang of Jinfeng Paper has always said that he wants to invest in building a new factory, Zhou Ming, you said a few days ago that Yu Wenliang told you that he agreed to build a new factory in Meixi, has this matter been discussed?"

Today's matter, Zhou Ming has not communicated with Su Kaiwen, seeing that he does not open which pot to mention, his heart is even more unhappy, and he also knows that he is just unintentional, seeing that Tan Qiping and his father-in-law are also concerned about it, and said: "Shen Ji said that he would also conduct a comprehensive investigation of Jinfeng Paper......

"Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming," Shen Huai pointed at Zhou Ming and shook his head and smiled, "Look at what you call me, we all know that you talk about things very publicly and privately, and you are very serious, but if you don't know, you still think that you are bullying me in Meixi Town......"

Xiong Wenbin and Tan Qiping laughed, and they all said that Zhou Ming called Shen Huai too serious, and sat down with each other, there was no need to be so angry - Zhou Ming was full of bitterness, I don't know if Tan Qiping and his father-in-law really didn't know that he bullied Shen Huai in Meixi Town.

Su Kaiwen also said to Shen Huai in a half-truthful and pretending to be serious: "Tan Ji asked Zhou Ming to be your assistant, and transferred all the elite soldiers and strong generals to you to use, you can't really bully him......"

Shen Huai said with a smile: "If Tan Ji really wants to give me all the elite soldiers and strong generals, he should transfer you Su Kaiwen to Meixi Town to take care of me." ”

Hearing Shen Huai's joke that there was a knife hidden under the flesh that pierced people, Su Kaiwen's face twitched, and he had to keep a smile on his face, but he scolded Shen Huai in his heart: If you want to take care of Lao Tzu, are you qualified?

Shen Huai then explained the situation of Jinfeng Paper to Tan Qiping and Xiong Wenbin: "Zhou Ming proposed at the meeting today that Jinfeng Paper intends to invest in the construction of a new factory, but some people in the meeting raised objections, saying that Jinfeng Paper is seriously polluted in Xinjin, which has caused a great negative impact in the local area, so I asked Zhou Ming to continue to follow up on this matter and understand the situation more comprehensively......

Shen Huai said this, and directly denied his work in front of Tan Qiping and his father-in-law Xiong Wenbin, Zhou Ming was even more panicked, but he couldn't say that Shen Huai was not. If he didn't want to highlight his achievements at the meeting too much, and could communicate with Shen Huai in advance, no matter whether Shen Huai agreed or disagreed, it would be impossible for him to hang up publicly.

Tan Qiping listened to Shen Huai tell the truth of the matter, nodded, and said: "Presiding over the work of the party committee, economic development is the core, but we can't completely ignore other factors - whether we can accept the investment of Jinfeng Paper is to investigate and investigate clearly...... and no longer ask Zhou Ming how his work in Meixi Town is.
