After Wang Hongfeng talked to Xue Shaohua and Bao Feiyang and left, Xue Shaohua's face immediately became solemn.

Wang Hongfeng took the initiative to meet them this time and talk to them in person, obviously it will not be as simple as just understanding the situation. As Wang Hongfeng, secretary of the Jiangbei Provincial Party Committee, if he just wanted to know the situation, he could have asked his secretary Chen Yucheng to call Xue Shaohua and ask Chen Yucheng to learn about the project.

Moreover, Xue Shaohua also knew that Wang Hongfeng and Bao Feiyang had a very good relationship, in addition to Chen Yucheng, Wang Hongfeng could also talk to Bao Feiyang alone on a more private occasion, and learn more specific information from Bao Feiyang, instead of summoning him and Bao Feiyang here through a more formal official meeting.

Xue Shaohua understood that Wang Hongfeng had taken this time to meet them in a hurry, in addition to learning about the specific progress of the shipyard project of the South Korean Shanshui Group and showing his support for the Haizhou region, he was also telling Xue Shaohua and Bao Feiyang that although he supported the Haizhou region, he did not intend to have a conflict with the new governor Hong Ximing because of this incident, which would affect the harmony and unity within the Jiangbei provincial team.

Judging from the news revealed by Wang Hongfeng, Hong Ximing obviously has a different view on the joint venture shipyard project between the Haizhou area and South Korea's Shanshui Group. For the shipbuilding industry layout of the entire Jiangbei Province, Hong Ximing should have his own set of development concepts in his heart. Whether or not Governor Hong Ximing can change his view on the shipbuilding project in Haizhou is the key to winning this project in Haizhou.

Wang Hongfeng's remarks showed. As the leader of the provincial party committee, he hoped that Xue Shaohua and Bao Feiyang could persuade Governor Hong Ximing to change his mind with their own personal ability, so that Hong Ximing, the new governor of Jiangbei Province, could truly accept Bao Feiyang's shipbuilding industry development plan from his heart. There is no need for Wang Hongfeng, the secretary of the provincial party committee, to personally step forward and use his power to interfere in this matter from above.

Xue Shaohua was pondering the intentions conveyed by Wang Hongfeng in the conversation, and Chen Yucheng quietly walked over again and revealed more information to Bao Feiyang and Xue Shaohua in his private capacity.

It turned out that the development concept of the new governor Hong Ximing was to hope to further develop and grow the Tongcheng area with the policy support and help of the Tongguò provincial government, which has a good economic foundation and industrial advantages. So as to build the Tongcheng area into the Sioux City and Ningcheng of Jiangbei Province, and make Tongcheng the strongest economic city in Jiangbei Province. Therefore. Hong Ximing naturally wanted to take an opportunity to strengthen the economy of the Tongcheng area, so that the Tongcheng area would become the economic leader of Jiangbei Province, so as to play an important role in driving the overall economic development of Jiangbei Province.

According to Chen Yucheng's grasp of the situation, in Hong Ximing's development plan. There are two important directions for the development of the Tongcheng area: First, it is necessary to take advantage of the geographical advantages of being close to Shanghai and facing the river and the sea to vigorously develop modern shipping, shipbuilding, iron and steel, refining, and other heavy chemical industries; second, it is necessary to make use of the advantages of abundant land resources, labor resources, and low prices to develop the export processing industry.

Hong Ximing's development strategy for the Tongcheng area can be roughly summarized as grasping large projects and small projects together, and the development of many places in China is like this, the development plan is generally similar, and everyone wants to do projects with promising prospects. In a sense, Hong Ximing's development plan tailored for the Tongcheng area is actually similar to the development plan for the Haizhou area.

Chen Yucheng also had the task of serving Wang Hongfeng, and took a few minutes to come over and reveal the information he had to Bao Feiyang and Xue Shaohua. He left in a hurry.

Xue Shaohua's expression became even more solemn.

"Feiyang, Governor Hong, I'm afraid it's not so easy to change your mind!" Xue Shaohua exhaled slowly, looked up at Bao Feiyang, and the expression on his face looked very strict.

Bao Feiyang nodded, suddenly smiled, took out a Chinese cigarette from his arms and handed it to Xue Shaohua, and then leaned over to help him light it. said to Xue Shaohua: "Secretary Xue, I don't think Governor Hong will directly ask about this project. ”

Xue Shaohua nodded slightly. He took a low puff on his cigarette and slowly exhaled it. What Bao Feiyang said may not be wrong, Hong Ximing, as the governor of the province, is where his identity is, even if he wants to help the Tongcheng area win this project, he will definitely not be so obvious, but whether some words are clearly said is not a big difference for those of them below. With Xue Shaohua's character, I am afraid that he will not play Yang Fengyin in front of Hong Ximing, so as not to leave a worse negative impression in Governor Hong's heart.

"Okay, do you think this is in the Haizhou area, this is a provincial capital, and it is not okay not to follow the rules. Xue Shaohua shook his head and dusted off the cigarette ash in his hand, he knew what Bao Feiyang meant.

When Xue Shaohua was in Haizhou, there were indeed some cadres in the following counties and districts who were playing tricks, as long as they could achieve their goals, they would do everything they could, and most of the cadres at the grassroots level were like this, very down-to-earth, but after all, this was only good at a relatively low level. He Xue Shaohua is now the leader of a prefecture-level city, and it is obviously too cheap to let him cry in front of Governor Hong Ximing like those county and district cadres, and such an image and work style are not conducive to him to take on more important jobs in the future.

In addition, Hong Ximing has only recently taken office in Jiangbei Province, and the following cadres are not very clear about his work style and leadership style, and everyone is waiting to adapt to the style of the new leader. Under such circumstances, Xue Shaohua certainly wouldn't feel that he would give up the same safe approach as everyone else, and it would be a good idea to take risks and take the sword.

Because of this conversation with Wang Hongfeng, Xue Shaohua and Bao Feiyang didn't have time to rest, he looked at the watch on his wrist and felt that the time was almost up, so he took Bao Feiyang and went straight to the Jiangbei Provincial Government, ready to report to Governor Hong Ximing.

Although he had made an appointment in advance and rushed to the provincial government at the earliest time, Xue Shaohua was not able to meet the governor Hong Ximing at the first time. According to Hong Ximing's secretary Zheng Yi. Who Hong Ximing wants to meet today has already been arranged in advance, and usually some meetings will be adjusted to the back depending on the time. Queue cutting is only allowed in particularly urgent and important situations. Hong Ximing was originally scheduled to meet with Xue Shaohua today, but because there were too many arrangements for today, some of the time for the conversation inevitably dragged on for some time, exceeding the original plan, so that some of the people who were scheduled to meet in the morning had to be postponed to the afternoon, so now they can only postpone from the third to the seventh place in the afternoon, and the time has also changed from the original half hour to fifteen minutes.

Other than that. Zheng Yi also said that Governor Hong was very concerned about the situation in Haizhou, and asked Xue Shaohua to report the details to Cheng Huayan, secretary general of the provincial government. I'll see them later when Governor Hong is done here.

The secretary general of the provincial government is the chief steward of the provincial government, and must assist the leaders of the provincial government in their work and complete the tasks assigned by the leaders. Strictly speaking, the secretary can only upload and distribute. The relationship between the secretary general and the leader may be closer, but it is only "miscellaneous", and cannot complete a certain work independently, the secretary-general is relatively much more important, from the nature of the position, they themselves are the leadership position, and when the leader is inconvenient, they can be qualified to attend certain activities on behalf of the leader, coordinate various departments, follow up on various affairs, and so on.

Therefore, Hong Ximing's choice to let Cheng Huayan, the secretary general of the provincial government, listen to their report instead of his secretary Zheng Yi, which is a very normal organizational procedure.

********************************

Come to the office of the Secretary General of the Provincial Government. Cheng Huayan didn't let Xue Shaohua and Bao Feiyang wait, and greeted the door of the office very warmly, greeted Xue Shaohua with a smile and said, "Hello Secretary Xue." Come in, please. ”

Although the secretary general of the provincial government is relatively close to the leader, it seems that he has a lot of intangible conveniences and opportunities, but the authority of the secretary of the municipal party committee, as the top local leader, is undoubtedly greater, and there is also a lot of room for future development, and the possibility of the secretary general of the provincial government being directly promoted to the deputy provincial leader is not great. Often, it is necessary to make a transition at the grassroots level, otherwise it will be regarded as a deputy provincial leader. Because of the lack of experience in overseeing the overall situation, it is difficult to play an important role.

Obviously, as local secretaries of municipal party committees, there is no need for such a transitional process; they are already the top leaders in the locality and have the experience of grasping the overall situation; if they have made good achievements in the local government and are recognized and appreciated by their superiors, they can be qualified to be directly promoted to the post of vice provincial leader.

Therefore, although Cheng Huayan talked to Xue Shaohua on behalf of Governor Hong Ximing, his attitude when he first met was still very enthusiastic, and after greeting Xue Shaohua, he glanced at Bao Feiyang, who was following Xue Shaohua, and asked Xue Shaohua with a smile: "This should be a typical Comrade Bao Feiyang among our county-level cadres in Jiangbei Province, right?"

Speaking of Cheng Huayan's identity is also quite special, he was originally a native of Fenghu City, but in the early years of the Cultural Revolution, he cut the queue in the Tongcheng area, and later stayed in the Tongcheng area, and was promoted all the way up from the grassroots level, and it was relatively smooth sailing in the officialdom. Cheng Huayan should have known Hong Ximing, who was then a member of the Standing Committee of the Hucheng Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor, and after Hong Ximing was transferred by the central government to Jiangbei to serve as the governor of Jiangbei Province, Cheng Huayan, who was still the deputy mayor of Tongcheng District at that time, was transferred to Jiangbei Province as the secretary general of the provincial government. From an ordinary deputy mayor to the secretary general of the provincial government, Cheng Huayan has taken a very solid step.

Probably because of the geographical proximity, although Cheng Huayan is from Jiangbei, but in his body, in fact, you can also see many famous characteristics of Hucheng people's personality, such as being very polite and always smiling. But this does not mean that such a person is easy to deal with, in fact, Cheng Huayan also has the title of the smiling tiger in the Tongcheng area, on the surface, he is kind to you in front of you, and he looks very good at talking kindly, but he doesn't know what kind of feminine and ruthless he is, and the calculation behind his back is chilling, and people who have dealt with him and suffered losses are a little afraid of him, but with Cheng Huayan's identity and status today, no one dares to say this about him now.

"Secretary-General Cheng, hello, I'm Bao Feiyang. Bao Feiyang saw Cheng Huayan mention himself, and hurriedly and politely stepped forward to say hello to Cheng Huayan.

"Hehe, Comrade Feiyang is now the director of the Management Committee of Haizhou Lingang Economic Development Zone, right? smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Bao Feiyang cordially, and greeted warmly: "When you come to the provincial capital in the future, remember to come to me often to sit here." ”

"Okay. I'm afraid of troublesome Secretary General Cheng. Bao Feiyang replied decently.

"No trouble, no trouble, my job responsibility as the secretary general is to serve the leaders at the top, and serve everyone at the bottom!" Cheng Huayan said with a smile, stretched out his hand and asked them to sit on the sofa.

"The Secretary-General has worked hard. Xue Shaohua said with a smile.

After a brief introduction and greetings, when it came to work, Cheng Huayan immediately put away the smile just now, and handed Xue Shaohua a cigarette. Then he said slowly: "Secretary Xue, this time the governor wants to see you." You probably know the specific reason. Two days ago, the governor of Tongcheng inspected the area and put forward the idea of building the Tongcheng area into an international shipbuilding base. The news that you want to launch a new project, but it is your Haizhou area that has robbed the shipbuilding project in the Tongcheng area, and the governor is very shocked by this!"

Xue Shaohua didn't expect Cheng Huayan's smiling tiger character to get straight to the point, and directly threw this matter out, and his demeanor was so strict, it can be said that his previous enthusiasm was like two people. Moreover, Cheng Huayan forcibly linked the shipbuilding project introduced into South Korea by the Haizhou area and Hong Ximing's trip to the Tongcheng area two days ago, which is simply ill-intentioned, and almost explicitly said that their Haizhou city chose to win the shipyard project of the South Korean Shanshui Group at this time deliberately mischievous with the governor Hong Ximing. Slapping the governor in the face, Cheng Huayan used the word shock just now, but here Hong Ximing's shock can also be understood as anger. If this is confirmed, Hong Ximing can attack the cities in Haizhou in a fair and bright manner, even if it is Wang Hongfeng, the leader of the provincial party committee, it is not easy to say anything. After all, no leader wants the people below to slap themselves in the face.

However, Xue Shaohua is also well-informed and responsive, of course he will not let Cheng Huayan take him to the pit in a few words, he immediately showed a very surprised expression and said to Cheng Huayan: "Secretary-General." I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding in this, right? What we are preparing to introduce in Haizhou is the ship middleware project of the South Korean Shanshui Group, which was contacted by the Fangxia Ceramics Group and the South Korean Shanshui Group a long time ago. As early as when Comrade Feiyang was still in Wanghai County, it was already operating. Don't hide it from the Secretary-General, I strongly asked the provincial party committee to transfer Comrade Feiyang to Haizhou regional city, in fact, it is mainly because of the needs of this project, you may also have learned that Feiyang has a good relationship with Fangxia Ceramics Group. ”

Bao Feiyang also deliberately showed a surprised expression, although he didn't speak, he also nodded very cooperatively beside him. At the same time, in his heart, he secretly applauded Xue Shaohua's quick and clever counterattack.

Cheng Huayan deliberately exaggerated the facts in his words just now, and put a big hat on the Haizhou region and city that challenged the authority of the provincial governor, if Xue Shaohua honestly played the cards according to the routine and only stated the facts, the strength would not be enough, and he would have said that the South Korean Shanshui Group project that he had only recently contacted was in operation for a long time, so that Cheng Huayan could not say that the Haizhou region and city deliberately made trouble for Hong Ximing in response to Hong Ximing's recent speech in the Tongcheng area, so that the dignified governor could not come to power, and it was not easy to say that they grabbed the project in the Tongcheng area, because these points in time were not matchedAnyway, they can't find Fangxia Ceramics Group or South Korea Shanshui Group to verify when they contacted this project.

Cheng Huayan looked at Xue Shaohua, and then at Bao Feiyang who was sitting next to him, and did not show any fluctuations in his feelings because of Xue Shaohua's counterattack, he just widened his eyes and asked Xue Shaohua, who looked innocent and aggrieved, with a slightly surprised face: "Yes? I really don't know about this matter, so this project has been talked about for a long time, why haven't I heard any news before?" And I heard that at your Standing Committee meeting a while ago, when Bao Feiyang reported to the Standing Committee, he said that he only received news when he went to Southeast Asia with the provincial investment delegation to attract investment, and he wanted to discuss a joint venture shipyard project with the South Korean Shanshui Group, right?"

Xue Shaohua had expected Cheng Huayan to ask such a question, and what happened at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee was not a secret, and with Cheng Huayan's energy, it was easy to get the information at the meeting without much effort, and it was obviously impossible to deceive Cheng Huayan in a sloppy manner. However, Xue Shaohua also climbed through the grassroots level and finally climbed to the position of secretary of the Haizhou Prefecture Municipal Party Committee after several efforts, how could he not have two brushes in his hands? He dared to say this to Cheng Huayan earlier, and naturally he had already prepared a draft in his heart for the next response.

"Secretary-General, when Comrade Feiyang was in Indonesia to attract investment, he received the news that Fangxia Ceramics Group had sent people to South Korea to formally negotiate this joint venture shipyard project with South Korea Shanshui Group. Prior to this, Fangxia Ceramics Group for South Korea Korea Shanshui Group Shipyard Shipyard preparations for this project have been launched early, the specific situation, Comrade Feiyang, you come to report to the Secretary-General. ”

Saying that, Xue Shaohua glanced at Bao Feiyang and motioned for him to answer

Bao Feiyang knew that Xue Shaohua wanted him to push things on Fangxia Ceramics Group, which was of course a simple and easy way for them to operate, and it was not easy to find flaws. (To be continued)
