The train arrived at Kyoto Station at 7 a.m., and Lo Aifang personally drove an Audi A6 from the Aoyama Beijing Office to pick up the station.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they got into the car, and after the car drove onto the spacious avenue, Lao Aifang took out a briefcase and handed it to Guo Xiaozhou, "This is the information you want." ”

Guo Xiaozhou took it and opened it to see that the information was really detailed, not only three photos of Zhou Shuming in spring, summer and autumn, but also a group photo of Zhou Shuming and Zhou Feng.

Guo Xiaozhou took this long photo and looked at it carefully, it was not like PS, he asked curiously: "Director Lao, what is the relationship between Zhou Feng and Director Zhou of the National Development and Reform Commission?" ”

"Speaking of which, they are not only fellow countrymen, but also ...... of the same genealogy"

Guo Xiaozhou immediately interrupted her, "I remember that Zhou Feng is from Xihai, and Director Zhou of the National Development and Reform Commission is from Huainan Province?" ”

Lao Aifang explained: "Zhou Feng was born in Wugou County, Huainan Province when he was a child, and the hometown of Director Zhou of the National Development and Reform Commission is also in Wugou County. The surname Zhou is a big surname in Wugou. Zhou Feng moved to Xihai Province with his parents when he was a teenager. ”

Guo Xiaozhou laughed at himself: "From this point of view, the relationship between Zhou Feng and Director Zhou is not ordinary. ”

Lao Aifang wanted to speak and stopped: "I have heard a lot about the Chenta Bridge project recently, and the current situation is that all major ministries and commissions are waiting for the opportunity. Except for the good news released by the Ministry of Water Resources, other ministries and relevant departments were all silent. The Ministry of Water Resources has relatively minimal responsibility and does not play a leading role. ”

Guo Xiaozhou sighed, "Yes! If one of the key ministries and commissions such as the National Development and Reform Commission or environmental protection and transportation takes the lead, it will be relatively easy for other ministries and commissions to loosen up. ”

"But for a large-scale national project like this, not to mention the relationship between gift-giving and leaving, or finding someone to write a note or something, the Commission for Discipline Inspection may immediately follow up and investigate. The impact of this project is so great that there is no reason why the comrades of the Commission for Discipline Inspection should not specialize in supervising it. As for inviting cadres at the office section and department level of some ministries and commissions to dinner, or giving some small gifts such as local specialty cigarettes, the discipline inspection commission can turn a blind eye. Because they know that the people who can really make decisions are only the big people that provincial cadres can personally contact. ”

Guo Xiaozhou's heart moved, "What does Director Lao mean that the risk factor of Zhou Feng's gift is very high?" ”

Lao Aifang smiled, "There is a knack for gift-giving, depending on how to operate, the method is in place, and the giver and the recipient can be safe and sound." ”

Guo Xiaozhou didn't continue to ask, and lowered his head to read Zhou Shuming's information.

After graduating from university, he joined the State Planning Commission, successively served as deputy director and director of the Department of Foreign Investment, and then went to a county in Huainan Province as a deputy county magistrate, and returned to the Department of Foreign Investment of the Development Planning Commission as an assistant inspector two years later. One year later, he served as the deputy director of the investment department, two years later he was sent to Baijiang City, Nandu Province to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor, and five years later he served as the secretary of the Baijiang Municipal Party Committee.

However, the peak of Zhou Shuming's career came to an abrupt halt in Huainan Province. Four years ago, Zhou Shuming returned to the National Development and Reform Commission from the local government to serve as a member of the party group and deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission.

According to the information, Zhou Shuming does like calligraphy, but also likes photography, has a daughter, his wife retired from the Department of Health, and his son-in-law is an assistant professor at a famous university in Kyoto.

As for Zhou Shuming's character, he is more open-minded, atmospheric, well-cultivated, likes to associate with friends in the literary and artistic circles, and is not very willing to associate with people in the business world in private. Among the directors of the National Development and Reform Commission, he is a relatively difficult person to approach.

After Guo Xiaozhou read the information, he asked Lao Aifang curiously, "Director Lao, if you were to give a gift to Director Zhou, what would you do?" For example, sending paintings. ”

Lao Aifang replied: "I will go to a painting of a painter who is now well-known and considered to have great potential, buy one of his works for between 20,000 and 50,000 yuan, give it away, and then bid for more than 300,000 yuan at an auction." ”

"Bidding with people?" Guo Xiaozhou only woke up after asking, "I understand, you arrange a person to shout the price with you, so that the price of the painting can naturally increase." ”

"The advantage of this is that the recipient will not be at risk, he will just buy a painting that is not very valuable, but he will meet someone who likes the painting, or the painter's value will rise sharply, and so on."

Guo Xiaozhou nodded and said, "Zhou Feng probably chose this method as well?" But this method requires the cooperation of both parties, Zhou Shuminggui is a ministerial-level official, will he cooperate with Zhou Feng to play this kind of trick? ”

For this question, Lao Aifang could not answer.

When the car was about to arrive at the Qingshan Beijing Office, Guo Xiaozhou remembered and asked, "Director Lao, the handover procedures of the Beijing Office have been completed." ”

Lao Aifang said: "It's basically done. ”

Guo Xiaozhou observed that she smiled slightly wryly when she spoke, and thought to himself, Lao Aifang is afraid that it is the same situation as Xie Fuli, or even worse, that she is the director of a county-level city and skips to the head of the Beijing Office of a prefecture-level city, not to mention that the two deputy directors of the Qingshan City Beijing Office are resentful, even the staff of the Qingshan Beijing Office will not be convinced.

He thought about it, this kind of thing can't be interfered with by outsiders, it all depends on how she personally adjusts and operates.

He said a pun, "Director Lao! The success or failure of both of us falls on the project, and if it is successful, you have the right to speak up and down the Tsingshan Beijing Office, and my layout in the Chen Tower can also be carried out step by step. ”

Lao Aifang is a smart person, she replied: "Don't worry, Mayor Guo, I will do my best!" ”

When he arrived at the Qingshan Beijing Office, Guo Xiaozhou refused to be sent by Lao Aifang, and came to his room on the third floor.

Wei Gewen saw Guo Xiaozhou and shook hands with him with a happy face. During Guo Xiaozhou's departure from Kyoto, he almost became a loner, going to the ministry and commission every day to "squat", and the other three were hotly fighting, and a car allocated by the provincial Beijing office basically became Zhou Feng's special car.

Except for the financial meeting, Wiegwin hardly met the three of them at the Beijing office.

The expenditure of funds is consumed at a rate of 100,000 per day.

In particular, Zhou Feng asked the project team members to take out 100,000 yuan each from their personal funds in the name of sending paintings, and Wei Gewen finally couldn't help but inform Guo Xiaozhou.

Closing the door, Wei Gewen poured out bitterness and said: "With the speed at which the three of them spend money, at most they can only hold on until the end of the month, and the project has been tackled until now, except for the Ministry of Water Resources entering the second stage, other departments are still in the first stage......

The Ministry of Water Resources has already approved it, and now it is only waiting for the minister's signature, and the reason why the speed is fast is due to Zheng Zesheng's help in the operation.

Guo Xiaozhouzhou knew that Wei Gewen was a good pen, and it was definitely not suitable for running projects, and the reason why Xie Fuli stuffed him into the project team was that he hoped to bring achievements to Wei Gewen by tackling key problems, and he would be promoted to important positions in the future, such as the post of director of the general office of the municipal government; The second is that her surroundings are not good now, and sending Wei Gewen out is also a way to protect him.

Therefore, in terms of running events, he really didn't expect anything from Wiegwen. But Wei Gewen has his advantages, he is serious, loyal to Xie Fuli, his original division of labor is to run the Ministry of Communications, he goes to the office of the Ministry of Communications every morning to serve tea and pour water for people, as a handicraft.

He spent almost no money on the funds allocated to him. Guo Xiaozhou asked him, he said that he didn't know who to invite for a treat, he just wanted to invite an ordinary clerk, and people had a meal every day, how could he agree to him as a stranger.

Guo Xiaozhou smiled and comforted him, and then asked him if he had been in contact with the people of Dingchuang Group recently.

Wei Gewen said that basically every day to make phone calls to understand the work progress of Dingchuang's technical team.

Guo Xiaozhou reminded very tactfully: "At the beginning, Mr. Gong of Dingchuang said that his company not only provides technical resources, but also provides administrative licensing, departmental approval, network resources and other project services. Dingchuang has been dealing with the transportation department, and the company's biggest network resource is the transportation department. ”

Wei Gewen's eyes lit up, "How did I forget jì......"

Guo Xiaozhou said, "There is no hurry. That's right, Brother Wei! Zhou Feng informed you that what time will you pay this morning? ”

Wei Gewen said, "At nine o'clock in the morning, Yang Xiaomei and I and He Qing each contributed 100,000 yuan, plus his own 100,000 yuan, and 400,000 yuan for the purchase of paintings. ”

Guo Xiaozhou said strangely: "He didn't notify me and asked me to pay a penny?" ”

Wei Gewen said disdainfully: "How dare he inform you that if you don't make trouble, he will burn high incense." ”

Guo Xiaozhou looked at the time, got up and went out, "There is still half an hour, I will go back to the house to rest first." ”

Wei Gewen sent Guo Xiaozhou out of the door.

Guo Xiaozhou had just opened the door of his room with the door card, and suddenly heard a slight footstep in the corridor, and he subconsciously looked up to see that it was Yang Xiaomei.

At this time, Yang Xiaomei was wearing white translucent pajamas, the curve of her body was clear at a glance, and it could be seen that Yang Xiaomei hadn't woken up yet, her half-open and half-closed eyes suddenly saw Guo Xiaozhou, and she immediately covered her mouth and stood on the spot.

Guo Xiaozhou didn't want her to be too embarrassed, nodded at her and walked into his room.

Walking into the room, he thought to himself, it was obvious that Yang Xiaomei was spending the night in someone else's room.

He just didn't pay attention at the time, did Yang Xiaomei come out of Zhou Feng's room, or did he come out of He Qing's room?

He smiled faintly and let her come out of the room.

Seeing Yang Xiaomei, he reminded him to call Zhu Ying.

Since the last time he tore the veil with Zhu Ying in Kyoto, Zhu Ying has sent him messages every day, especially after the Chen Ta incident, Zhu Ying's short messages are one after another. That kind of love has been undisguised, like a volcanic eruption.

"Yingying! I've come to Kyoto, and I've just arrived at the Aoyama Beijing Office. ”

"Why didn't you sue me when you came to Kyoto, I'll pick you up!" Zhu Ying said domineeringly: "You belong to me tonight, I will arrange the place, you have to be on time." If you dare to be late, you will go to the Beijing Office, hum! ”

"Big sister! I'll wait for your orders! Always ready to fight......"

"Hee-hee-hee! Fight? Are you planning to bully your sister? Tell me, how are you going to play? ”

Guo Xiaozhou's head began to sweat, and at this time, there was a knock on his door, Guo Xiaozhou hurriedly hung up the phone, opened the door and saw that it was Yang Xiaomei.
