When the project team of five people arrived at Kyoto Airport, Xiao Dongyang, director of the Xihai Provincial Office in Beijing, personally picked up the airport, not only shook hands with Zhou Feng very warmly, but also brought three cars, two of which were Volvo and Audi Q5, and the reception grade was comparable to that of provincial leaders.

According to Zhou Feng's chat, the provincial Beijing Office has specific regulations on how to receive it: provincial leaders come to eat, live and travel around the clock; Most of the leaders of the department and bureau only provide convenience, arrange pick-up and accommodation, and are generally not responsible for eating and catering. Due to the high pressure of reception, there is simply not enough more than a dozen vehicles in the Beijing Office. Compared with the provincial Beijing office, the prefectural, city, and county-level "Beijing offices" are even more outrageous; in addition to undertaking official duties, they are also the "life secretaries" of the leaders, and they have to provide "one-stop" services for the leaders and their families to come to Beijing for medical treatment and for their children to go to school.

Watching Zhou Feng and Xiao Dongyang enthusiastically shaking hands and hugging, Guo Xiaozhou was like witnessing the performance of two masters in the system, and his facial expressions and language skills were extremely profound. Between officialdom, no one can and cannot talk about personal grievances on the table, which is one of the rules of officialdom. With whom you have a grudge, you only need to make a stumbling block at a critical moment. There is no need to let everyone know that the two of them have a feud.

Xiao Dongyang is a middle-aged man with a very good appearance, whether it is facial features, figure, clothing taste, temperament, etc., he has to throw Zhou Feng three streets. He held Zhou Feng's hand tightly and didn't let go, as if he had met a "good engine oil" that he had missed for several years, "Director Zhou worked hard!" The provincial leaders have repeatedly explained that the Beijing Office will serve the project team around the clock. ”

Zhou Feng shook his hand with a smile, "Kyoto is Director Xiao's territory, whether our project is successful or not, the leaders of the Beijing Office have the general direction, and I just come to walk around." ”

"For such an important matter, the Beijing Office is to provide some services, and the burden is all on Zhou!"

After the two praised each other, Zhou Feng introduced the members of the project team to Xiao Dongyang.

The director of the Provincial Beijing Office is the main department, and most of the people who Xiao Dongyang usually comes forward to receive are high-level officials at the provincial level, and the general deputy department and department level are not in his eyes at all.

His handshake with Wei Gewen, Guo Xiaozhou and others was only an understatement. Guo Xiaozhou even wondered if he would forget their names right away.

The group walked towards the parking lot, and Xiao Dongyang asked Zhou Feng, "Is Zhou staying in the Beijing Office or going to a hotel outside this time?" ”

If you live in the Beijing Office, it is more convenient to go to the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Communications to do things, because the Beijing Office is very close to the national ministries and commissions. But if you ask the staff of the ministry to meet in the evening to "deepen" the relationship or something, it is not very convenient.

Zhou Feng smiled and said, "Director Xiao, this time is not to book a few sets of rooms in the Beijing Office and the hotel, so as to facilitate the project team and improve work efficiency." ”

"Uh-huh! Then I will reserve three rooms for you in the Beijing Office, and arrange one room in a five-star hotel. What do you think? ”

Zhou Feng said politely, "Just set a four-star room, five-star is both wasteful and afraid of gossip!" ”

Xiao Dongyang smiled and said, "It's still thoughtful." By the way, the Beijing Office can only provide you with a special car for the time being, and if there is an emergency, a temporary vehicle will be deployed. ”

"Thank you, Director Xiao! I know how tight the Beijing Office is to use a car, and I am very satisfied to be able to reserve a car for us. ”

"Huh! The car is not used for whom. Besides, after all, you are an old comrade of our Beijing Office! ”

After a fake conversation, the three cars slowly left the Kyoto airport and headed for the provincial office in Beijing.

An hour later, they arrived at the Xihai Building. A deputy director surnamed Cheng first arranged a room for them, said that they would be allowed to rest for a while, and at noon Director Xiao hosted a banquet on behalf of the Beijing Office to welcome them.

Guo Xiaozhou suddenly said at this time: "Thank you, Director Cheng." Director Wei and I have booked a room in advance at the Qingshan Municipal Beijing Office. Don't waste the provincial room. ”

Zhou Feng's expression changed slightly, and he immediately returned to a smiling expression, "Mayor Guo, in this case, we will simply stay in the Beijing Office of Qingshan City." Everyone is a team and a whole, and living separately will affect communication and work efficiency. ”

Guo Xiaozhou was slightly stunned, he had already understood the intrigue between Xiao Dongyang and Zhou Feng, and in the face of the complex situation of the project, he didn't want to add trouble and uncertainty in vain. He didn't dare to guarantee that Xiao Dongyang would mix Zhou Feng's sand at a critical moment? If the project is successful, Zhou Feng will definitely attract Xiao Dongyang's taboo. Because Zhou Feng is likely to take the opportunity to turn over.

Guo Xiaozhou wants to avoid being implicated by Zhou Feng, and he doesn't want to be a pawn in their game. Then leaving the Provincial Beijing Office is the best choice.

It's just that he didn't expect that Zhou Feng quickly figured out the key. He actually gave up the Provincial Office in Beijing and wanted to live with him in the hotel of the Municipal Office in Beijing.

Zhou Feng could understand it, but He Qing and Yang Xiaomei couldn't. The two of them protested repeatedly, "How convenient it is to live in Xihai Building, the conditions are standardized, and it is not far from the offices of various ministries and commissions, and the transportation extends in all directions, why should you go to the Beijing Office at the prefectural and municipal levels?" ”

"We don't live in the Provincial Beijing Office, but I will ask them to book an extra room at the Great Wall Hotel." After Zhou Feng finished speaking, he glanced at the two of them, looked at Guo Xiaozhou again, and sighed in his heart, they are about the same age as him, but why is the difference so big!

He Qing and Yang Xiaomei still couldn't understand.

Zhou Feng said earnestly: "The national policy of strictly prohibiting the consumption of public funds has been introduced, and the provincial Beijing office is the key inspection location, while the county and city Beijing office is not so conspicuous, and if you don't want to cause trouble, you have to be honest and low-key." ”

His words made He Qing and Yang Xiaomei speechless.

The reason why the two of them insisted on staying in the provincial office in Beijing was because there were many senior officials at the provincial and departmental levels in the provincial office, and if they were lucky enough to meet one or two, it would sometimes have a positive impact on their lives.

After the reception luncheon at noon, Xiao Dongyang sent them to the car with a smile, and his face turned stern as he watched the two cars drive away. Zhou Feng resolutely refused to live in Xihai Building, which certainly made him no longer have to look at his disgusting face, but such a big and important project in the province actually did not live in the Provincial Beijing Office, isn't this a blatant slap in the face?

Not living in the provincial Beijing office is equivalent to not using the network resources of the provincial office, which means that after the success of the project, the provincial office will not only have no credit, but will even be gossiped about.

In fact, the location of the Qingshan City Beijing Office is not at all more remote than the provincial office, and what it lacks is that it does not have such a magnificent building as the provincial office, there are no high-ranking officials, and the quality of the reception services such as meals, accommodation, and gifts is even higher than that of the provincial office.

The Qingshan City Beijing Office is a five-story building, with 19 full-time staff, three directors and deputy directors, and five vehicles.

Li Fang, director of the Qingshan City Beijing Office, is 50 years old this year, a kind-faced old man, at the department level, who has worked in the Beijing Office for six years, he is very familiar with Zhou Feng, and has had contacts before.

When the two met, they came directly to a bear hug.

Then he politely shook hands with the project team members one by one, and his attitude was much better than that of Xiao Dongyang.

When they arrived at the internal hotel on the third floor, He Qing and Yang Xiaomei showed surprise.

The exterior of the Qingshan Beijing Office Building is half new and half old, but the interior of the hotel is luxuriously decorated, which is definitely not inferior to the average four-star hotel. And in terms of room allocation, it is also quite spacious, with five rooms for five people. And it's all the kind of little suite with a living room.

If they live in Xihai Building, they can only allocate three rooms, except for Yang Xiaomei, who can get the right to live alone, the remaining two are double rooms, and they have to live together.

Li Fang is obviously more committed than Xiao Dongyang. He said that the Beijing Municipal Office not only took out two vehicles to be on standby, but also sent two staff members of the Beijing Office to help the project team run errands.

After allocating the room, everyone went back to the room to pack their luggage, and after Guo Xiaozhou entered the door, he called Zheng Zesheng's phone and told Senior Brother Sù that he had arrived in Kyoto and would start the project.

Zheng Zesheng said with a smile, "The Ministry of Water Resources can go through the process first, and the day after tomorrow I will help you make an appointment with the specific person in charge of the bridge approval in the ministry, and tomorrow you can go to the approval departments to submit an application, there are three departments that are very critical, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Communications, and the State Environmental Protection Bureau." The hardest of these should be the Environmental Protection Agency. ”

Guo Xiaozhou said: "Yes! Now the country is paying more and more attention to environmental protection, and any large-scale project must first pass the environmental impact assessment. ”

"You have to be mentally prepared to fight a long battle." Zheng Zesheng said: "To tell you the truth, although your senior brothers can help, this scope is limited, beyond our jurisdiction and work system, but they can help you introduce, and there is no way to make a decision." In the end, it depends on whether your own data is sufficient and perfect. ”

"Thank you, senior brother, for the reminder. I was mentally prepared. Guo Xiaozhou invited: "I want to invite a few senior brothers to gather together to see when it is convenient for you." ”

Zheng Zesheng said with a smile: "You run this project, and you will have a lot of time in Kyoto in the future, so you are not in a hurry." ”

"Okay, I'll call a few senior brothers later, confirm their working schedules first, and try to find a time that is convenient for everyone, and get together when everyone doesn't accept."

"You go about your work first. The preparatory work should be sufficient, and each ministry and commission should find the breakthrough point and the main person in charge of the work of tackling tough problems. This is critical. Some people who went to Beijing to run the project thought that they could just find a relevant person in charge of a ministry or commission. In fact, there are many projects in ministries and commissions, and each person is responsible for different projects, and if you find the wrong person in charge, it will be a waste of effort. ”

"I started to set a specific plan and target this afternoon." Guo Xiaozhou said.

"Okay! Is the teacher in good health? ”

"Good spirits. Last week, he also attended the Hainan Economic Forum. ”

"I discussed with a few of your senior brothers, and I plan to go to Wujiang together in November this year to celebrate the teacher's 70th birthday. You're going to have to carry a heavy burden! ”

"I still want to find a chance to mention this matter to my brothers, but I didn't expect you to have a plan. I didn't say it, in Wujiang, I should bear my responsibilities and obligations. ”

"Uh-huh! You get busy with your work first. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. ”

"Goodbye, senior brother!" After Guo Xiaozhou put down the phone, a call came in immediately, he answered it, and the other party said, "Hello Guo Xiaozhou!" I'm Gong Hailiang! ”

Guo Xiaozhou's eyes lit up, since Chenggang introduced them to each other, he had actually been waiting for this call.
