Fifteen minutes later, Song Guangming and Gong Hailiang accompanied a middle-aged man with a peaceful expression into the "Hongyi Hall".

"Lao Cha!"

"Hey! Zha Zhigang! ”

Cheng Gang and Correction Yao laughed and got up to greet each other! Greeting and shaking hands! Guo Xiaozhou also stepped forward.

Song Guangming and Gong Hailiang greeted Guo Xiaozhou while pulling Guo Xiaozhou in front of Zha Zhigang. Gong Hailiang smiled and said to Cha Zhigang: "Director Cha, didn't you say that you always want to see someone?" Today you got your wish. ”

Cha Zhigang raised his eyebrows, looked at Guo Xiaozhou, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "Guo Xiaozhou, Mayor Guo?" ”

"Haha! Lao Cha, now Secretary Guo, Chenta Town merged the three towns to establish Chenta New District. Cheng Gang introduced.

"Oh! Congratulations! Secretary Guo doesn't want to be surprised! "Cha Zhigang is burly, looking like a standard northern man, with a high nose bridge, broad cheekbones, and no aura in his eyes, but the handshake is steady, powerful, and magnanimous.

Guo Xiaozhou passively shook hands with Cha Zhigang in some confusion, and said politely: "Thank you!" In fact, the secretaries and mayors are almost the same, and they are all working around the construction of Chen Tower. ”

"Haha! I love to hear this, Secretary Guo, I have heard of you for a long time! Zha Zhigang still did not let go of Guo Xiaozhou's hand, and said with emotion: "Last time you went to Kyoto to investigate and inspect the Chenwu Bridge project, I happened to go down to investigate and inspect, and I didn't have the opportunity to see it, and I have always regarded it as a pity, but I didn't expect to have such an opportunity to personally thank Secretary Guo today, Lao Cheng, you can be regarded as doing a great thing." Fulfilled my wish."

The more Guo Xiaozhou listened, the more surprised he became, this man named Zha Zhigang had a strong self-confidence in his expression, but he was not conceited, his voice was loud and clear, his tone was subdued, and he often spoke on the rostrum, and his origin was absolutely extraordinary. It can be seen from his attitude towards Cheng Gang that the level is not necessarily lower than Cheng Gang.

But why did this man say he wanted to thank him? Still sorry?

He looked at Cheng Gang and Gong Hailiang suspiciously, hoping that they would solve his doubts.

Who knew that Cheng Gang and Gong Hailiang both looked like they were hiding the mystery to the end, and their eyes were teasing and smiling.

Cha Zhigang rolled his eyes, pointed at Cheng Gang and Gong Hailiang and said, "You two are so uninteresting, you don't even introduce me until now?" ”

"Secretary Guo......" As soon as he spoke, Guo Xiaozhou interrupted with a smile, "You can call me Xiao Guo, in front of so many big leaders, my secretary is not worth it." ”

"You can't say that, big leaders and small leaders are all leaders, and they all play their respective roles. Besides, Guo Shu...... I'll call you Xiaozhou, so kind, Xiaozhou! The construction of the Chenwu Bridge and the influence of the central area of the Chenta New District on the resources, economic development, industrial structure layout and environmental protection of Xihai Province cannot be underestimated......"

Guo Xiaozhou was stunned when he heard it, how could it be related to environmental protection, shouldn't this be the leader of the Environmental Protection Department or the Ministry of Environmental Protection?

Gong Hailiang still couldn't help but introduce aloud: "Xiaozhou, let me introduce to you, this is the director of the Southwest Supervision Center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Zha Zhigang, and he has also worked in Huanggang, more than 20 years ago, Zha Zhigang proposed the Chenwu Bridge project, and wrote the project application ......"

Guo Xiaozhou suddenly realized, of course he had heard that there was a predecessor surnamed Zha who was the first to propose the development plan of Chenwu Bridge in Huanggang, and even he had referred to Zha Zhigang's project application. When the project was set up for public relations, he did hear people mention that there was a Huanggang villager in Kyoto who was a senior official of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, but there were many things to do at that time, and he forgot about it when he was interrupted by a phone call.

Gong Hailiang introduced it like this. Why did Cha Zhigang thank him, the meaning is obvious. He fulfilled an unfulfilled dream of Cha Zhigang back then.

Cha Zhigang looked at Guo Xiaozhou with a smile, "Now you understand?" ”

Guo Xiaozhou replied very sincerely, "I understand." On the Chenwu Bridge project, you are a senior, and I just caught up with a good era......"

Zha Zhigang laughed and interrupted Guo Xiaozhou's words, "Modesty is a virtue, but it's not good to be too modest!" I know the difficulties encountered by the project research team in Kyoto, to be honest, I was not optimistic about you at the beginning, it is estimated that it will take three or four years for you to win the project no matter how fast you are, who knows that it will not take a year, which is really admirable! ”

Guo Xiaozhou was a little embarrassed, "I'm just ...... Good luck! ”

Cha Zhigang shook his head, "Luck? Luck also comes to those who are prepared. Besides, others don't know how difficult it is, and I don't know ......."

Song Guangming suddenly interjected: "Don't be polite to each other here, Lao Cha was intercepted by me as soon as he got off the plane, and in the afternoon he had to rush back to his hometown to accompany his mother for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the big guy went to the wine table to drink and talk." ”

"Hmmm! I'm going to toast to Ozu! Zha Zhigang pulled Guo Xiaozhou and walked towards the inner hall.

After Cao Fang arranged for the leaders to be ready in the hall, he returned to the small hall and accompanied the leaders' accompanying secretaries to dine together. If it is usual, such a small gathering, most of them will not bring a secretary. However, due to the closing of the year, all the leaders are shouldering the task, and the secretary cannot leave him.

Twenty minutes later, the six leaders of the main hall and the six entourages of the small hall went to eat and drink.

Guo Xiaozhou is young, and he is the target of the leaders in the main hall, especially Zha Zhigang, who drank three cups with Guo Xiaozhou in a row, and seemed to be still not happy, and raised a glass to shout, but was stopped by Cheng Gang on the grounds that he was going home to accompany his old mother in the afternoon.

In the process of happily chatting with several people, Guo Xiaozhou gradually learned that Zha Zhigang was transferred from Huanggang to the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau, and later the Environmental Protection Bureau was changed to the Environmental Protection Department.

Zha Zhigang was later promoted to the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) as the Ministry of Environmental Protection's Southwest Inspection Center. The Ministry of Environmental Protection is a provincial and ministerial-level sequence, and the director of the supervision center has a main hall and a deputy department, and Zha Zhigang is a member of the deputy department. He was promoted to the deputy department even half a year earlier than Cheng Gang.

At the wine table, Guo Xiaozhou is willing to suffer, and together with these high-level leaders, he is willing to suffer losses in order to take advantage, provided that they have to give him the opportunity to suffer.

Anyway, Guo Xiaozhou is young, his body can bear it, and his demeanor is calm and calm, and he did not cower because these people are high-ranking officials and rich people, he maintains a down-to-earth and natural attitude, but has won the favor of several big leaders.

During the banquet, Cheng Gang suddenly asked, "I heard Yunfei say, your Chen Tower's Chen Kai Group wants to merge Guanghan's and Ou Chem?" What is the current progress? ”

The Yunfei in Cheng Gang's mouth is his troublesome brother-in-law Xu Yunfei.

Xu Yunfei has been following his master Shan Biao for the past few months, and he was not driven home by Shan Biao until the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

Guo Xiaozhou immediately realized that this news was probably revealed by Xu Yunfei to Cheng Gang, but he was a little strange how Cheng Gang could talk about such an incompatible thing on such an occasion.

"At present, there is not much progress, mainly because the creditor's rights situation with Europe is more complicated, and the chemical plant has also been named and investigated by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, some polluting equipment has been shut down, and local leaders do not know when it will be loosened...... Guo Xiaozhou said this, and suddenly understood that he was reminding him that the Ministry of Environmental Protection was here, and the consciousness was to let him open his mouth to find Zha Zhigang.

However, after Guo Xiaozhou was silent for a moment, he smiled and avoided this topic. He just met Zha Zhigang, although people are grateful to him, but he understands the way of officialdom too well, there are some things to say, but things can't be done; On the contrary, there are things that can be done, but words that cannot be said.

He still doesn't know what Zha Zhigang is like, if he makes a request on such a celebratory occasion, it's okay for Zha Zhigang to agree, if he doesn't agree, it will affect the interest of the whole table, not to mention, he doesn't want to leave a utilitarian impression on Zha Zhigang.

Zha Zhigang took the initiative to talk to Guo Xiaozhou about the impact of the Heou chemical pollution incident, "The impact of the illegal discharge of Heou Chemical is very bad, I remember that the Southwest Supervision Center sent an investigation team to check the illegal discharge of Heou Chemical and the impact on the river environment, the total amount of pollutant discharge and other related indicators, the situation is not very optimistic, but ...... Due to its early detection, irreparable damage to the environment has not yet been caused. ”

Guo Xiaozhou deeply agreed, "Whether it is an enterprise or a government, the protection of the environment should be based on economic development, it is easy to destroy the environment, but it is even more difficult to govern." ”

Zha Zhigang smiled and said: "As an environmental protection department, we must also do a good job for the coordinated development of the environment and social economy." Now that the inspection center has transferred the case to the Xihai Provincial Environmental Protection Department for investigation, I will call the head of the Xihai Provincial Environmental Supervision Corps and ask him to make it as convenient as possible within the normal procedure. Of course, the environmental protection work of enterprises must be paid attention to. ”

"Thank you, Director Cha, for supporting Chen Ta's economic construction, this wine, I respect you on behalf of Chen Ta!" Guo Xiaozhou stood up to toast, he knew that the most critical difficulties of the merger and ChemChina had been solved.

As a member of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the director of the Southwest Environmental Protection Supervision Center, Zha Zhigang supervises the five southwestern provinces and has the power to supervise the implementation of local environmental policies, regulations and standards for the country. Undertake the investigation and handling of cases of environmental pollution and ecological damage; Undertake the coordination and handling of cross-provincial, regional and river basin environmental disputes; Participate in the supervision of emergency response and handling of major and extraordinarily large environmental emergencies; Supervise the implementation of key pollution sources and state-approved construction projects.

In the field of environmental protection, the power is so great that the secretaries and governors of the five southwestern provinces must also look sideways.

He said that it was facilitated under normal procedures, but in reality it was tantamount to a green light.

Guo Xiaozhou also cooperated in a targeted manner, saying that on behalf of Chen Ta, he thanked Director Cha for his support for local economic construction.

In fact, if it weren't for Guo Xiaozhou's face, and the pollution of Ou Chemical Industry, it would not have been solved in a short time. At least, the Guanghan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have failed to dredge the supervision center, and they have repeatedly returned in vain.

The New Year's dinner ended with laughter.

Guo Xiaozhou benefited a lot, not only unexpectedly solved the environmental protection problems with Europe, but also further deepened his understanding and consolidated the relationship with several big brothers in the circle.

Lei Rixin was even more excited, feeling that today was his most proud day.

Although he and the five "big secretaries" had to serve the leaders at all times, they didn't drink much, and their ears kept paying attention to the content of the conversation in the main hall, and his shock to Guo Xiaozhou could no longer be expressed in words.

At the same time, he himself is also very happy, and he has also met his requirements of not losing Guo Xiaozhou's face, and there is no submissiveness and inferiority at the table.

Of course, the main thing is that these "big secretaries" did not look down on him because of the low level of the leadership he served. Leaders have circles of leaders, and secretaries also have circles of secretaries. Leaders and leaders are good, and the relationship between secretaries is naturally not bad.

He exchanged contact numbers with Cao Fangzhangkai and other secretaries, agreed to contact more, and privately handed over the "secret health wine" prepared by Guo Xiaozhou to the secretaries before the leaders dispersed, and they handed it over to their respective leaders.

Left Longhui Hotel. Guo Xiaozhou answered a few phone calls after getting in the car, and then said with a slightly drunk face: "Secretary Lei, we will go to Thrush Valley Villa now, when we arrive at the location, you go to open two rest rooms, I need to rest for an hour, you will not participate in my activities in the afternoon, you can arrange dinner yourself, I will leave for Guanghan at about seven o'clock, and I will trouble you to run." ”

Lei Rixin said repeatedly: "It's okay, I'm happy to serve you!" He said this sentence with sincerity and awe.
