When Guo Xiaozhou left Yunhe and came to Wujiang, it was the first high-temperature sauna day when Wujiang City entered the scorching summer. Accompanied by Ke Baixiong, deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Guo Xiaozhou went to the Wujiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to report as scheduled.

Ke Baixiong is 45 years old this year, and he is the deputy minister with real power in charge of the organization department, while Guo Xiaozhou is Chinese New Year's Eve four years old today, but he is also a high-ranking official in the main department, a member of the Standing Committee of the provincial and municipal party committee, and an executive vice mayor. Being able to take the opportunity to have a good relationship with such a young figure is also a science in officialdom.

Therefore, Ke Baixiong's words along the road were endless, talking about the status of Wujiang, the scenery of Wujiang, and even about snacks. There is not a word about work and personnel.

The vehicle soon entered the compound of the Wujiang Municipal Party Committee.

As soon as the car stopped, three or four middle-aged men quickly greeted him.

The man who walked in front was tall and walked quickly, and he stretched out his hands to Ke Baixiong for the first time, and said with a smile: "Welcome Minister Ke!" Mayor Hetian, the permanent secretary, entrusted me to greet the two ......"

Ke Baixiong's eyes lightly swept over the four men who greeted him, and his eyes showed a touch of surprise and disappointment. As the No. 3 person in the Provincial Organization Department, he came to escort Guo Xiaozhou to his post. As a result, there was a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Gao Dawei, Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee, and the other three people he knew only one of them, Liu Changyu, director of the Municipal Government Office.

Such a welcoming contingent is obviously too low, and there is no doubt that it is disrespectful to Guo Xiaozhou, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and executive vice mayor, and even his face as the leader of the provincial organization department has been splashed.

He smiled, and said in his words: "Secretary General Gao, in such a hot summer, your secretary and mayor have to take care of everything, I have to admire!" ”

Gao Dawei was keenly aware of Ke Baixiong's sarcasm, and he immediately smiled and said: "The permanent secretary is holding a meeting in the province, and Mayor Tian is conducting research at the grassroots level, please ask Minister Ke Haihan to ......" Speaking of this, his eyes looked at Guo Xiaozhou and asked politely, "This is the new Mayor Guo!" I am Gao Dawei, and on behalf of the Wujiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, I warmly welcome you. ”

Put out the welcome mat? The welcome team of four people is led by a secretary general of the municipal party committee? The city government didn't even send a deputy mayor, what is this? Dismounted? Who gave it? Tian Hongbing? Guo Xiaozhou's mind was spinning while shaking hands with Gao Dawei, "Hello Secretary-General Gao!" I'm new to the city, so I'm not familiar with anything, and I'll look forward to more guidance from the Secretary-General in the future. ”

Gao Dawei seemed to be a little surprised by Guo Xiaozhou's demeanor, and he couldn't see Guo Xiaozhou's unhappy expression at all, he was very gentle and elegant, and his smile was cute. Is this the legendary and arrogant Guo Xiaozhou?

"Hehehe, Mayor Guo, you are too modest, you are the mayor of our Xihai who knows the most about the economy, and the take-off of Wujiang is counting on you." Gao Dawei politely greeted Guo Xiaozhou.

If someone else said such a thing, it would undoubtedly be a bit ridiculous, but Gao Dawei's expression was very sincere, and people couldn't see the slightest ridicule.

Guo Xiaozhou knows that Gao Dawei, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee, has a very special position, he is not only the chief butler of the Municipal Party Committee, but also the person who ******** most trusted. With Mai's ability to ascend, he will not use a secretary general of the municipal party committee who he can't grasp.

So, can it be said that Mai Shangxing looks at Guo Xiaozhou differently, and this Gao Dawei will have the same attitude?

Guo Xiaozhou is not sure. Things in the officialdom are virtual and real, real and virtual, everyone has their own demands, the bottom line and hole cards, until the most critical moment, it is difficult to distinguish at all.

Besides, Mai Shangxing has already left Wujiang after all. Gao Dawei's service object is the new ******** Chang Yiding. According to the principles and laws, Gao Dawei's attitude should always follow the new secretary.

However, Guo Xiaozhou has just arrived in Wujiang and needs to find a "good partner" at work. Especially in the communication with the permanent secretary, Gao Dawei needs to help himself.

Therefore, his attitude is very enthusiastic.

Gao Dawei politely greeted a few words, beads of sweat already appeared on his forehead, and he made a gesture of invitation to Ke Baixiong and Guo Xiaozhou, "Minister Ke, Mayor Guo, it's too hot outside, it's not a place to talk, isn't it an advanced ......building?"

"Let's go in together. Today's temperature is too high...... "Ke Baixiong pulled his legs and walked up the steps.

Guo Xiaozhou and Gao Dawei walked on his left and right.

The other three men were slightly half a step behind to follow.

The middle-aged man walking beside Guo Xiaozhou followed Guo Xiaozhou closely and introduced himself softly: "Hello Mayor Guo, I am Liu Changyu from the municipal government office, and I will ask Mayor Guo to criticize and advise him more in the future." ”

Before coming, Guo Xiaozhou had a detailed understanding of the mayors of the municipal government and several directors of the office.

This Liu Changyu is the director of the government office and the chief steward of the municipal government. Although his status is lower than that of Gao Dawei, the head of the municipal party committee, he is also a government leader with real power. There are even some powerful office directors whose energy surpasses that of ordinary deputy mayors.

It's just that Gao Dawei didn't introduce it today, and Ke Baixiong didn't say hello, so he verified some gossip rumors.

It is rumored that Liu Changyu was originally Tian Hongbing's absolute confidant, and he won Tian Hongbing's trust, he has served in the municipal government for many years, and is an old horse of the agency. It is said that an incident occurred two months ago, and there was a conflict between Tian Hongbing's son and Liu Changyu's daughter, which made Liu Changyu, a good old man who has always been good at forbearance, break into Tian's house at night and quarrel with Tian Hongbing and his wife.

Then, he was left cold by Tian Hongbing. Now the real manager of the city government is Deputy Director Shu Fu.

Guo Xiaozhou nodded at him slightly, "Director Liu is too polite. ”

It can be seen that Liu Changyu wants to be close to Guo Xiaozhou, but Guo Xiaozhou doesn't want to show his attitude without understanding the situation, which is not the proper performance of a mature leader.

A group of people walked into the conference room of the municipal party committee, and a group of people waited in line to applaud.

"Minister Ke, Mayor Guo, welcome!" A middle-aged man who took the lead in applauding in the conference room stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Ke Baixiong from a distance.

"Secretary Bao's shelf is big!" Ke Baixiong was obviously unhappy with the attitude of this group of people not going downstairs to greet him, although there was a smile on his face, his tone was obviously complaining.

Bao Yuanshan smiled apologetically and shook hands with him, while explaining, "The central government and the province have just issued a directive document to put an end to political activities to be sent, and we dare not disobey it, and I ask Minister Ke for forgiveness, or I will punish myself for a cup ......later."

Hearing Bao Yuanshan's explanation, Ke Baixiong was angry and had nowhere to go, and people did have something to say. What could he do with the big hat holding the programmatic document in his hand and pressing it down?

For Bao Yuanshan, Guo Xiaozhou also has an understanding. As the deputy secretary of Wujiang City and the number three person in Wujiang, his power is significantly weaker than his position. This is a smart person who is good at surviving in the cracks, and survives relatively well. It's a man who doesn't make him an opponent. Whether it is Mai Shangxing or Tian Hongbing, they all respect him more. I also prefer such a person, because he doesn't manage things very much and is not authoritarian.

After Ke Baixiong's greetings, he began to introduce Guo Xiaozhou, "This is Comrade Guo Xiaozhou, the new executive vice mayor of Wujiang City. Everyone knows each other. ”

"Comrade Guo Xiaozhou, hello, I am Bao Yuanshan, welcome to Wujiang, everyone is welcome!" Bao Yuanshan did not take the initiative to shake hands with Guo Xiaozhou, and took the lead in applauding after speaking.

Guo Xiaozhou nodded politely, "I hope you will help me and guide me a lot." ”

"Mayor Guo is famous, but we are looking forward to your arrival." A middle-aged man with a ruddy face and excellent maintenance took the initiative to reach out to Guo Xiaozhou, "I'm Jia Shi." Welcome! ”

Guo Xiaozhou's eyebrows moved slightly, this Jia Shi is the deputy mayor of Wujiang Municipal Government and a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, a figure that cannot be underestimated.

"I'm Table Shaowen, welcome Mayor Guo."

"I'm Luan Juhua, welcome Mayor Guo."

Guo Xiaozhou shook hands with the team members of the municipal government one by one and introduced each other.

In the end, standing in front of Guo Xiaozhou was an old man with gray hair, looking at his age of fifty, his face showed the traces of years of immersion, but compared to all the leading cadres who greeted him, he had the most majestic momentum.

"I'm Zeng Ruiguang, welcome to Mayor Guo."

Guo Xiaozhou knows that this is Zhao Weiguo's old leader, the oldest deputy mayor of Wujiang Municipal Government.

Guo Xiaozhou stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand and clasped it, and said politely: "Thank you, Mayor Zeng, you are an old-timer of the Wujiang Municipal Government, and you will need a lot of help in the future." ”

"Mayor Guo is young and promising, and I believe that Wujiang has young blood, and the future will be brighter." Zeng Ruiguang's hand was very strong, and Guo Xiaozhou even suspected that his hand was pinched by him.

After some greetings, Bao Yuanshan, deputy secretary ......of the municipal party committee, respectfully invited Ke Baixiong to sit down, and then said into the microphone: "Today, the permanent secretary of Mayor Hetian has official business, and Mayor Guo's welcome meeting is temporarily presided over by me.

Guo Xiaozhou sat at the round conference table, listening to Ke Baixiong and Bao Yuanshan's speeches, his thoughts flying.

The people sitting here are all department-level high-ranking officials, and he ranks second only to Ke Baixiong and Bao Yuanshan in this group of department-level high-ranking officials, and the group of senior officials at the department and deputy department level who sit below him now have to look up to him. Ten years ago, he wasn't even qualified to meet a department-level leader.

Every time he is promoted, he will think of Jing Yi's long criticism: "You didn't succeed in academics, and you walked into an official road by mistake." It's not a natural official life, but it's harder than any official life. You started to be an official at the age of twenty-four, and the official is not big, and you are still a deputy position, but this position has the greatest impact on your career; Twenty-six-year-old leader reuse, important second-level department chief; Twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty for four years, step by step, quadruple jump; At the age of thirty-one, you have crossed the most important step of your career, and at the age of thirty-four, you have the main hall; Thirty-seven years old vice provincial level, forty years old main ...... Your life is precious! ”

Guo Xiaozhou is a materialist, he does not believe in gods and ghosts and feudal superstition, but what makes him unbelievable is that his career path is completely in line with Jing Yi's long criticism, and it is not bad at all.

At the age of 24, he will be suspended next week because of Xie Fuli, deputy factory director. 26-year-old mayor of Chenta Town; At the age of 27, Chen Ta established a development zone, and the three towns were merged; Then there is Secretary Chen Kai, chairman; Lu'an County Magistrate; Secretary Jing Hua; At the age of 31, he was promoted to the Standing Committee of the Yunhe Municipal Party Committee and Deputy Mayor; At the age of 34, he walked into the main hall. Step by step.

He began to believe a little that there was a predestined. I also once asked Jing Yichang, is it possible to achieve the goal of the career without hard work?

Jingyi's answer was, "Everything in the world has its own natural laws. Even if you imply that you don't try, there are things and people that push you forward. It's irresistible. It's like the wheel of history, it never stops. ”

Regarding Jingyi's answer, Guo Xiaozhou didn't believe it at all. He doesn't believe that you can get something without hard work. He didn't believe that he had done nothing in Wujiang, kept the mean, and he would be promoted to vice province after three years?

He didn't believe it.
