The next morning.

As soon as Guo Xiaozhou opened the door, he saw Long Jingjing waiting in front of the door with both hands.

To be honest, just looking at Long Jingjing's face, it is not particularly outstanding, with large lips and slightly higher cheekbones, but she is in excellent shape, with a height of more than 170, well-proportioned and toned, it is said that she played volleyball in high school and was almost picked by the provincial youth team.

Long Jingjing wore a slim black cashmere coat today, a pair of navy blue pencil pants underneath, and a pair of black low heels, the color looked all black, but the sky blue Hermes scarf set off her overall style. The slim-fitting coat shows off her proud shoulders and breasts, but it is not vulgar.

"Mayor Guo is early! I don't know what you like to eat early, I brought three servings, you see, this is Xisi's pancake monkey, this is Lao Man's belly clip R baked cake, this is Ciqikou Jinxin bean juice ......"

Guo Xiaozhou raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he is not from Kyoto and is not familiar with Kyoto, he knows that the three snacks in Long Jingjing's hand are all famous signature goods in Kyoto. Moreover, she had to get up at least five o'clock and drive half of Kyoto City to buy enough of these three things.

"Manager Long has a heart." Guo Xiaozhou stretched out his hand and took the bean juice and pancake monkey, "You didn't eat breakfast, you can eat this Lao Man pancake." ”

"Okay, thank you, Mayor Guo. I'm a little hungry. ”

The two of them walked towards the elevator while eating breakfast, "The work of the Beijing Office is going well." ”

"Very good." Long Jingjing pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "Director Tong and Director Xiao are very supportive of the hotel's reception work, and Director Yang Changyu of the government is also very concerned about the work of the Beijing Office. ”

"You're a good talker. It is worthy of being engaged in reception work. Guo Xiaozhou smiled, "Does the Beijing Office have anything to do with CCTV?" ”

"CCTV ......" Long Jingjing was overjoyed, and the leader finally had something for her to do. As the leader of the Beijing Office, what I am most afraid of is not being "needed" by the leadership. That's worthless.

"I don't know how high a level of relationship you need. CCTV Sports Channel has a Wujiang host, and the news channel has a second-line editor...... It's a little higher, but there is a deputy director's wife who is from Wujiang, but I don't know if I can get in touch with ......."

"Oh!" Guo Xiaozhou nodded noncommittally. Get out of the elevator.

Long Jingjing hurriedly followed, "I don't know what kind of resources you need, I can try to think of a way." ”

Guo Xiaozhou smiled, "Leave your contact information, and I will contact you at my convenience." ”

Long Jingjing smiled, hurriedly opened the Kun bag, took out a fragrant yellow business card, and handed it to Guo Xiaozhou with both hands.

Guo Xiaozhou accepted it, didn't say anything, and got into the Mercedes-Benz directly.

Long Jingjing followed behind and beckoned, "I am always at your disposal." ”

Guo Xiaozhou sat in the car, spread his hands, and looked at the business card. Eyes turned to the street.

Kyoto is the political center of the country and the seat of the central ministries and commissions. Around the hotel where Guo Xiaozhou lives, there are many ministry buildings.

These ministry buildings are not only solemn in appearance, but also highlight the unique imagery connotation, and become a unique landmark in the area close to the center of power.

If there is one key word to describe the common feature of these seemingly mysterious ministry buildings, it is "order".

In an article entitled "The Political Aesthetics of Official Chinese Architecture", Nanfang Weekly* published an article on the political metaphors and historical changes behind these buildings: from the imitation of the Soviet Union to the retro "nationalism" to the "big and deserved" rich in revolutionary symbols of socialism, the traces of the times have created a "layered" political landmark in Kyoto, and the national fashion trend is often to "keep up with Kyoto".

As a result, government buildings in many places have the shadow of Kyoto's ministry buildings, or they are deeply affected.

Guo Xiaozhou has visited many ministries and commissions, but this is the first time for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

From a distance, he saw a gray arc-shaped structure with a solemn but simple appearance.

As soon as the car entered the yard, Guo Xiaozhou's phone rang. It was Zhuang Dong's phone. He immediately connected, "Uncle Zhuang is early!" ”

"Xiaozhou, where are you now?" I could hear Zhuang Dong's tone a little anxious.

"I was at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and attended the meeting in the morning...... I'll go straight to see you in the afternoon. ”

"Then I'm going to ...... Not far from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there is a Belle French restaurant, and I will be waiting for you at the restaurant at noon. You will come directly to the restaurant to find me. ”

"Okay." Guo Xiaozhou had never seen Zhuang Dong so impatient. This proves that things may be changing again. It's just that he doesn't know if this change is good or bad for him.

Between meetings, Guo Xiaozhou's mind has been digesting the news leaked in the coke area.

Speaking of which, he himself doesn't have much confidence.

If it was another city, even the mayor of some provincial capitals, or even the mayor of a city with a separate economy, he felt that he could give it a try. After all, he is qualified for promotion from the position of executive vice mayor of Wujiang City. But Zhen City is different, this is not only a high-risk place, but also its urban positioning determines that not everyone can be the mayor, there is no considerable deterrence and prestige, and it is not easy to get the city's government officials to buy it.

Moreover, the central authorities have always been cautious about the selection of the top party and government leaders in the city. The mayor who had just been shuanggui was once the leader of the provincial government of Lingnan Province and served as a vice-provincial governor for three years, which shows the importance and sensitivity of this mayor's position.

The meeting lasted two and a half hours, and Jiao Qu also made a brief speech at the end.

After the meeting, Jiao District followed Guo Xiaozhou, who was in a hurry to go out, and whispered that Zhou Zhengchun had a good impression of him, and just now, Zhou Zhengchun had obtained the approval of the special program of Wujiang City Circle from the director in charge. The program team is determined to be established within two days.

Moreover, Jiao District also arranged for the deputy editor-in-chief of a national newspaper to meet with Guo Xiaozhou.

Guo Xiaozhou said regretfully: "My time in Kyoto is full of pats. It's hard to find time to meet......"

"Otherwise, you can arrange for someone to meet with him."

"Isn't that disrespectful, or I'll come back to Kyoto in three or four days to meet with him." Guo Xiaozhou said.

"Not necessarily. This person has a deep relationship with my family, you can arrange someone directly or submit the manuscript directly. ”

"That's ...... All right. Guo Xiaozhou thought about it. If it weren't for Jiao Qu's relationship, it would be in vain for him to respect the deputy editor-in-chief of this big newspaper.

"I'll send you his contact number in a moment." After Jiao Ou finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and said, "You're busy with yours." If there is anything, come to me directly, don't rub it in, I will not shirk if I can help. ”

"Didn't say that." Guo Xiaozhou clasped his hand.

"I still have to go to the hotel. All the best. ”

Jiao watched him get into the car.

After Guo Xiaozhou got into the car, he told the driver to go to the French restaurant in Belle.

The restaurant is just three or four hundred meters across the street. So I walked into the restaurant six or seven minutes later.

Asking the receptionist, he came to a private seat by the window in the hall.

Zhuang Dong was wearing an extremely ordinary jacket with black-rimmed glasses. It's not imposing at all, but it looks very unusual.

"Uncle Zhuang! Thank you for your long wait. ”

Zhuang Dong pointed to the other side, "I've only been here for a short time." Have a seat. ”

Guo Xiaozhou sat down.

"Do you know why I was in a hurry to call you this time?"

Guo Xiaozhou said: "I guess it should involve the dispute between the mayor of Zhen City. ”

"Oh! You got it? Zhuang Dong looked at Guo Xiaozhou in surprise.

At present, this matter is only known to the top executives, including the provincial leaders of the major provinces.

Because this mayoral battle is far from being written and is only a verbal discussion.

"Where did you get the news?"

Guo Xiaozhou said very calmly: "Jiao District." ”

"It's him......" Zhuang Dong's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, "I see." ”

Guo Xiaozhou didn't know what he meant by "so it is". Even if his current level is not weaker than Zhuang Dong, he does not dare to be a little impetuous and disrespectful in front of Zhuang Dong.

Zhuang Dong's rank is far inferior to his own influence. Even provincial and ministerial-level officials in ordinary provinces may have to bow their heads by three points.

"Since you know, I won't dwell on it. I told you yesterday that I wanted you to give it a go, and you have nothing to lose anyway. However, today the situation has changed somewhat......

Guo Xiaozhou didn't speak, he was waiting for Zhuang Dong to say it.

Zhuang Dong sighed, "Old Song is not optimistic. ”

Guo Xiaozhou's heart was slightly cold, Song Lao was a big bargaining chip on his side that could balance Xiong Huang. If Song Lao doesn't support it, then he doesn't have any ability to compete at all.

Of course, there is a qualitative difference between not being optimistic and not supporting.

"Xiao Zhou, your network value in Lingnan and Zhen City is equal to zero. There are two basic conditions that determine victory or defeat. One is the recommendation, and the other is the local acceptance. ”

Guo Xiaozhou knows that the so-called recommendation degree probably refers to the overall high-level - provincial two links. Let's not talk about the high-level, Geng Wansong and Xiong Huang Duzi. Xiong Wentao was originally rooted in Lingnan, and Lingnan's recommendation for him must be the highest value.

And can Xihai Province's recommendation for Guo Xiaozhou reach the highest value? Zhou Qichang should recommend it with all his might, but what about Ding Yi and Chang Yiding?

Zhen City's welcome and acceptance of Xiong Wentao is certainly not low.

So will these Shenzhen city officials, who are the proudest officials who stand at the forefront of the country, welcome Guo Xiaozhou in the conversation of the Central Organization Department? Completely unreliable.

Guo Xiaozhou couldn't help but ask, "You should still have confidence yesterday." Today...... Is it mainly because of Song Lao? ”

Zhuang Dong shook his head, "Of course Elder Song wants you to take a step further. However, your odds are too low. I thought about it all night and thought you might as well take a step back. You're young and have a lot of opportunities. This retreat is also for the sake of making great strides forward in the future. ”

Guo Xiaozhou understood. Zhuang Dong may want to make a deal with the other party. This time Xiong Wentao can win without a fight, and the next chance can only belong to Guo Xiaozhou. As long as the other party agrees, in a few years, if there is a plan to list the position of the city separately, then Guo Xiaozhou will have no opponent.

However, will the other party say yes? Full of upside. Will a future political resource and leverage be sacrificed?

Guo Xiaozhou smiled bitterly, "How do you want me to choose." ”

Zhuang Dong was silent for a long time, "Actually, I don't want you to let go of this opportunity." You can lose, someone can't. ”

Guo Xiaozhou's mind immediately popped up with Geng Wan and the others.

"What did Song Lao say?" Guo Xiaozhou asked directly.

Zhuang Dong shook his head again, "Old Song said that he can't take your place. ”

"That is to say, the decision to fight or not to fight is in my hands."

Zhuang Dong nodded.

Guo Xiaozhou pondered for a moment, "I want to meet the two of them before making a decision." ”

Zhuang Dong looked at him and asked, "Who?" ”

Guo Xiaozhou said: "Fei Yunhai and Shi Changming." ”
