Although the provincial department and the municipal bureau have worked a lot, and have obtained clues many times, and traveled to many places for several days, Zhang Pengfei seems to have suddenly evaporated from the world, and there is no one to see, and there is no real and definite news.

Where has Zhang Pengfei gone? Is he still alive? Almost the entire Hexi police system has raised questions.

Chu Tianqi also had such doubts, and he couldn't be sure whether Zhang Pengfei was dead or alive. Despite this, he still did not relax his protection of the people involved, unless one day it was confirmed that Zhang Pengfei had been arrested, or that he was dead.

As long as Zhang Pengfei floated outside for a day, Chu Tianqi would not be at peace for a day, and he even thought about letting Yue Ji make the first move, but he still dispelled this idea. At this time, it's better not to mix it directly, maybe someone is waiting for this fold.

Qiao Yang and Jiang Yunsheng have already passed the dangerous period in the medical sense, but there is still no sign of awakening, and it is not clear whether they are really out of danger. The doctors tried their best to treat them, and the police did their best to protect them, and now they can only do this, and there is no better way.

Compared with Qiao and Jiang, Wei Long is much better. Although he was unconscious and in danger three times within 24 hours of his injuries, he survived. He was treated and recuperated in the hospital for nearly two months, and was discharged from the hospital in mid-June to continue his "love" engraving career.

Although Wei Long still insisted on "serving" at the original location, at the enthusiastic request of Chu Tianqi and Ning Junqi, he changed his place of work to an office building, applied for a formal license, expanded the scope of services, and hired additional staff. Compared with before, both the working environment and working conditions are much better. Wei Long understood that this was Chu Tianqi's disguised pension for himself, he was both moved and sighed, but he couldn't bear to brush off the other party's kindness.

Chu Tianqi's work was as busy as ever, and he was a little busier. Summer is the most frequent season for work throughout the year, and this year there are more tasks, especially financial tasks. At a more critical time, the mayor often leaves his post, and Chu Tianqi must not only complete his own duties, but also preside over the overall work of the municipal government.

Although it is often necessary to preside over the overall situation, although it is also necessary to pay attention to the matters of Zhang Pengfei and others, the Dingfeng Mountain project must also be followed up. This is not only a matter of Woyuan City, but also a key project of the two provinces and three cities, and the province and sister provinces and cities are also following up very closely.

In late June, Chu Tianqi took a cadre from two provinces, three cities and others to the capital city to participate in the first project review meeting of the National Development and Reform Commission. This method was pioneered by the NDRC that year, and it is more accurate to call it a project application briefing, which itself is a further introduction to the projects declared by them.

At half past eight in the morning, Chu Tianqi and the other five people arrived at the large conference room on the top floor of the National Development and Reform Commission, and the rest of the people stayed in the car outside the hospital to wait for news. Although most of the personnel can't come in, this is already a relatively large lineup, and the key thing is that it involves two provinces, and there is also its own general contact.

There were already a lot of people sitting in the room, all of whom were participating in the project council. There are more or less interactions with each other, and people greet each other sincerely or hypocritically, but in fact, they are also guarding against each other in their hearts, and there is a lot of competition in between.

"Wow", the sound of men's leather shoes came from far and near, and three men approached the room.

Seeing the people who entered the house, many people got up one after another, stepped forward to greet each other. Looking at that courteous posture, it is like meeting a direct boss, in fact, everyone is originally a department-level cadre.

Of course, Chu Tianqi also saw this person, but he didn't come forward to say hello, he didn't want to see this guy at all, but hoped that the other party would roll as far away as possible. The person who came was none other than the "old acquaintance" - Ming Ruoyang, mayor of Hongyun City, Nanling Province.

Compared with most of the people here, the mayor of Hongyun has a greater gold content at the department level, which is an economically developed area, and the GDP is equivalent to the sum of several prefectures and cities. However, so many people scolded him, not because of this position, after all, there was no subordination between them, but completely against the signboard of the "Ming family". These people all want to climb the big tree of the Ming family to escort their own fortunes, and some people even dream of integrating into it, so the probability of being promoted to the ministerial level in the future is much higher.

Ming Ruoyang understands the thoughts of these people, coupled with the natural temperament of the son, the score is not ordinarily big, and most of the people who greet them answer with their noses. And sat straight on the seat, leaning on the back of the chair with a big grin, as if the eldest brother was receiving the younger brother. Rao is like this, and the people at the table are still full of sneers and flattery.

Most of the people in the room went to "meet", but only Chu Tianqi and the other five people sat and didn't move. Among them, there were many people who wanted to meet, but they didn't get up because of Chu Tianqi's face, but the eagerness and embarrassment on their faces were obvious, and their eyes showed envy and helplessness.

"Let's all disperse. With a flick of his sleeves, Ming Ruoyang got up from his seat and walked straight to the north table.

Looking at the smug guy who came over, Chu Tianqi secretly said in his heart: What is this guy doing here?

Different from Chu Tianqi's reaction, the two people around him saw this, and after hesitating twice, they still stood up, greeted the people who came with a smile, and greeted them almost in unison: "Mayor Ming, hello, I am very happy to see you!"

Hearing these two speak, Chu Tianqi suddenly had a feeling of numbness, it was not that he had a small belly, it was not that he didn't want to see people talking to Ming Ruoyang. People have the right to associate freely, and there is no reason to restrict them. How could Chu Tianqi not even figure this out? It's that the voices of those two people are too flattering, it's like a department level seeing a department level, but like a township cadre meeting a city leader.

As if it had been agreed in advance, Ming Ruoyang's style was really full, and he didn't mean to stretch out his hand at all, and his nose didn't have a "hum", but gestured to the narrow-faced person behind him on the right.

The narrow-faced man understood what he meant, and waved his hand aggressively: "Lao Guo, Lao Huang, Lao Jiao, sit down, no need to be polite." ”

The standard hot face is pasted with a cold fart* stock, and the owner doesn't care about it at all, but his subordinates reply with a sentence. And this subordinate is only the secretary of the deputy department, but he is already a master, and it is obvious that there are no two main halls in his eyes. The two of them blushed and had thick necks, but they could only smile and smile, and sat down with attentive eyes.

Seeing this scene, Chu Tianqi thought of the gate of the ancient Great Yamen, which was really funny. But he couldn't laugh, but felt very uncomfortable, and he thought of a very inappropriate metaphor - it depends on the owner to beat the dog. What kind of contempt for those two people is this? It is clearly lowering his status and slapping himself in the face.

Thinking of this, Chu Tianqi's face became more serious, and his eyes were more cold.

Ming Ruoyang and the other three had already come to the front, and Ming Ruoyang sat directly in front of Chu Tianqi and the others on the right, obviously to form a superior posture.

The narrow-faced man did not sit down, but stood at his side, his upper body bowed slightly, waiting for instructions at any time.

The other round-faced man didn't sit down, but said to Xue Liang: "Old Xue, what are you doing here, visiting the big city of the capital?"

After seeing the scene just now and hearing the other party's ridicule, Xue Liang simply didn't get up, but sat on the chair and said lazily: "Lao Sui, as the director of the Department of Transportation, I have a lot of things to do every day, unlike some people who have nothing to do all day long and follow the day to mess around. ”

originally wanted to squeeze the other party, but he didn't want to let the other party hold up and ridicule, Lao Sui was very unhappy, so he said in a weird way: "Lao Xue, don't say it nicely." Applying for a project is a very common job, but you have gathered so many people, and this is too inefficient, are you here to fight?"

"Applying for a project is a daily job, but a project is not the same as a project. The project we declared is related to the development of the two provinces, and also has a greater economic pull on the surrounding provinces. Besides, respect for the project itself is also respect for the NDRC. Listen to what you mean, you don't seem to think much of the NDRC, could it be that you are ......" Xue Liang's words were not finished, but the meaning was already clear, and he was clearly referring to the other party's contempt for the NDRC.

The number couldn't be lost, but he was buttoned up by the other party, and seeing the displeasure on the master's face, Director Sui suddenly became anxious, and said loudly: "Old Xue, you and him...... It's ...... too."

"Squeak", the door of the house sounded, and the group entered the house.

The person at the forefront is none other than Zhou Jianguo, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission. The second is Deputy Director Wang, followed by two directors, and the last is Ming Ruoyue, deputy director of the project department.

Looking at the only person standing and making noise, Ming Ruoyue glared fiercely.

The elder of the Sui Hall blushed, hurriedly took two steps back, and sat down on the chair.

The five members of the National Development and Reform Commission sat on the rostrum, Ming Ruoyue sat on the very edge, and there were several stacks of file bags next to her, which had just been put down in advance by the data clerk.

After making eye contact with Zhou Jianguo, who was sitting in the middle, Deputy Director Wang spoke: "Good morning, everyone! I invited you here today to convene a council, which is actually a preliminary review meeting and an explanatory meeting. The content of the materials in this review is not confidential, and the purpose is to select the basic information of relevant projects and eliminate the items that do not match the individual materials. The following is shown by the Project Division on a case-by-case basis. ”

After Deputy Director Wang finished speaking, Ming Ruoyue began to display the general catalog and sub-catalog of relevant project materials.

The projects that can be applied to the National Development and Reform Commission are all large projects, which are very important to all provinces and cities.

Putting down the twentieth project information, Ming Ruoyue picked up the twenty-one and said: "The following is the Hejin project information, and the entire data is divided into ......"

After Ming Ruoyue's introduction was completed, Deputy Director Zhou conducted random inspections as usual: "Take a look at the information of the third and fifth items." ”

"Okay. In response, Ming Ruoyue quickly found out the information and displayed it.

"Information in item 6, item 11. Deputy Director Wang proposed sampling items.

Ming Ruoyue immediately flipped to the corresponding position as requested, but she was a flurry, and then quickly rummaged again.

"What's wrong?" asked Deputy Director Wang.

"I looked, but I didn't find it. Ming Ruoyue said while looking for it.

"The information is incomplete?" After the question, Deputy Director Wang raised his voice again, "The information is incomplete, which is too unimportant and too unrigorous." Do you still want to apply for projects with such an attitude?"
