Rushed to the office of the county party secretary, Wei Jianguo was sitting on the sofa smoking with his head bored, and when he saw Zhao Changfeng coming in, Wei Jianguo stood up and greeted him, stretched out his hand and said, "County magistrate Changfeng, hard work." Calling you back from afar. ”

Zhao Changfeng shook hands with Wei Jianguo and said, "Secretary Wei, how is the situation now?" ”

"Come, sit down and talk slowly!" Secretary Wei called the secretary Cao Yibing and asked him to pour a cup of tea for Zhao Changfeng, and then said to Zhao Changfeng: "Long Qiangtao has already called the Provincial Department of Finance, and the people in the Department of Finance have a very bad attitude, saying that these arrears in Yuehai County were paid in the morning, and it took so long to deduct them to take care of Yuehai County." ”

Zhao Changfeng groaned and did not speak.

Wei Jianguo glanced at Zhao Changfeng, handed over a cigarette, and said thoughtfully: "Changfeng County Magistrate, I said something that violates the principle, there is a big problem in this matter." ”

Zhao Changfeng took the cigarette and lit the fire, did not speak, and looked at Wei Jianguo silently.

Wei Jianguo said: "Speaking of arrears, what about the lack of arrears in that prefecture and county now? This is a very common phenomenon. Besides, these old accounts, the Provincial Department of Finance does not deduct them early or late, but chooses to deduct them at this time, and they have to be deducted all at once, isn't this very strange? ”

Speaking of this, Wei Jianguo glanced at Zhao Changfeng and said, "County Magistrate Changfeng, I think this matter is someone behind the scenes, and eighty percent of it is aimed at you." ”

In fact, Wei Jianguo didn't say this question, and Zhao Changfeng had already thought of it. Especially when he offended Zhang Xiaoqiang of the Municipal Finance Bureau last time, Zhang Xiaoqiang will be in trouble sooner or later. But it seems a bit exaggerated to say that Zhang Xiaoqiang alone can have so much energy and let the Provincial Department of Finance deduct all the arrears of Yuehai County over the years at once.

"Secretary Wei, thank you, if it weren't for your reminder, I really wouldn't have thought of this." Zhao Changfeng looked at Wei Jianguo and said, "Do you think this matter will be related to those people?" ”

"County Magistrate Changfeng, both of us are outsiders, what are you polite to me?" Wei Jianguo quietly pointed out what he and Zhao Changfeng had in common, and the meaning of pulling Zhao Changfeng into an alliance was very strong, "As for who it is, I'm really not sure." Changfeng County Magistrate, think about it, who have you offended during your time in Yuehai? ”

Zhao Changfeng groaned, thinking about the meaning of Wei Jianguo's words. There are too many people he has offended during his time in Yuehai County, but in terms of position, it seems that these people have not yet reached the point where they can influence the Department of Finance. Even Zhang Xiaoqiang, head of the Treasury Section of the Haizhou Municipal Finance Bureau, is only a little influential in the Haizhou Municipal Finance Bureau, and if he wants to speak to the Provincial Finance Department, even Li Mingsheng, director of the Haizhou Municipal Finance Bureau, may not have this weight.

Wei Jianguo sipped the tea slowly and methodically, letting Zhao Changfeng think there. Seeing that the heat was almost over, Wei Jianguo put down the teacup here, patted his thigh and said: "Oh, by the way, Changfeng County Magistrate, I suddenly remembered that Qian Wanyou, deputy director of the Provincial Department of Finance, served as the county magistrate of our Yuehai County more than ten years ago, and he was Secretary Qian's uncle. Changfeng County Magistrate, why don't we call Secretary Qian over to discuss it, and let Secretary Qian go to the province to find Director Qian to do some work? "Wei Jianguo is the so-called true and opposite, it seems that he asked Qian Yunfeng to come over to help, but in fact, he woke up Zhao Changfeng, who is the most suspicious in this matter.

It turned out that it was Qian Yunfeng who made the ghost. Zhao Changfeng sneered in his heart, yes, it was time for Qian Yunfeng to fight back, but he didn't expect that the strength of Qian Yunfeng's counterattack would be so great.

Zhao Changfeng shook his head and said, "Secretary Wei, even if Secretary Qian did work in the past, it would take a process, right?" There are only a few days left for us, so I wonder if we should first find a way to find a bank and lend a sum of money in case of emergency? ”

Wei Jianguo pondered for a moment and said: "Now the power of banks to lend money has been taken over by the city bank, and the autonomy of the county banks is very small. Now there is a wage gap of nearly 20 million, and we must go to Haizhou City to find a way. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Jianguo looked at Zhao Changfeng and said earnestly: "Changfeng County Magistrate, let's do it, I have been in Yuehai for a year and a half, and I am more familiar with the situation than you, so I will leave the matter of running a loan to Haizhou City Bank." You still have to think of a way to go to the province to make the Department of Finance accommodating, and we will work together to get through this difficult time. ”

Zhao Changfeng didn't expect Wei Jianguo to be so concerned about the matter of wages, it stands to reason that the political axe is in charge of economic issues, if the salary cannot be paid this time, and the cadres and workers make a fuss, the spearhead will only be pointed at Zhao Changfeng, who is the county magistrate, and scolds him, the new county magistrate, for being incompetent, which will have little impact on Wei Jianguo, the secretary.

"Secretary Wei, I won't say thank you, I'm honored to meet an open-minded squad leader like you." Zhao Changfeng stretched out his hand.

Wei Jianguo hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook it with Zhao Changfeng, and said, "County Magistrate Changfeng, I said don't see outside!" We are all outsiders in Yuehai County, and it is not easy to gain a firm foothold! ”

At that moment, the two decided to act separately, Wei Jianguo went to Haizhou City to find a bank loan, and Zhao Changfeng went to the province to run the relationship with the Finance Department.

Zhao Changfeng returned to the county magistrate's office first and informed Mo Yuegen to call Long Qiangtao and go to the Provincial Finance Department together. When Long Qiangtao heard that Zhao Changfeng took him to the Finance Department, he was also a little apprehensive. I heard that the county magistrate Xiao Zhao has a very strong background in the province, if he goes to the Provincial Finance Department this time to solve the matter smoothly, Secretary Qian's move will not only not hit Zhao Changfeng's prestige, but will make Zhao Changfeng prestige in front of the county's cadres and workers. Think about it, the Provincial Department of Finance has deducted the arrears accumulated over the years, and the county magistrate Xiao Zhao can easily handle it as soon as he comes out, so how much energy should the county magistrate Xiao Zhao have?

In fact, for ordinary cadres and workers, they do not care about the power struggle between the upper leaders, they only care about the little visible practical benefits under the tip of the nose, that is, whether the salary will be paid on time, whether the bonus is a little more generous than last month, and so on. As long as they can ensure that they get their wages and bonuses on time and on time, whether it is the doorman at the gate or the aunt who cleans the toilet, it is no problem to be the leader of Yuehai County, and they will raise their hands and shout in agreement.

After Qian Yunfeng lost face again because of the matter of Xuan Tianrong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Housha Town, he finally made up his mind to use the relationship between his uncle Qian Wanyou to deal with Zhao Changfeng. As long as the Provincial Department of Finance deducts the arrears of Yuehai County at one time, and Yuehai County does not have enough money to pay salaries, these cadres and workers in Yuehai County will definitely jump to their feet and scold their mothers. They don't care if the arrears that were deducted are owed before, Zhao Changfeng just filled this smoke hole for the previous leaders, they will only think, why didn't I pay my salary this month? As long as you can't see this money, no matter if you have a big reason, they will stand up and scold the street, and the content of the scolding on the street is, of course, the incompetence of the new county magistrate Zhao Changfeng.

Long Qiangtao is Qian Yunfeng's hardcore confidant, and of course he understands Qian Yunfeng's plan. At this time, I heard that County Magistrate Xiao Zhao was going to take him to the Provincial Department of Finance, and I was inevitably a little worried about Secretary Qian Yunfeng.

Zhao Changfeng took Mo Yuegen downstairs, and Long Qiangtao stood in the hall on the first floor and waited. Seeing Zhao Changfeng get out of the elevator, Long Qiangtao hurriedly greeted him and greeted him respectfully: "County magistrate." ”

Zhao Changfeng said lightly: "Let's go, if you have anything to say in Yangcheng." Then he went straight out of the hall and got on the No. 2 car of Yuehai County parked on the steps.

Long Qiangtao was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that the county magistrate Xiao Zhao was dragged, and he didn't even ask about the basic situation, so he went directly to the Provincial Department of Finance, is there anything like this? He muttered in his heart, didn't dare to slack off when he stepped down, followed out of the hall, entered his special car, and drove towards Yangcheng behind the No. 2 car in Yuehai County.

Zhao Changfeng got into the car and dialed Secretary Huang's phone: "Brother Huang, I'm Changfeng." Are you busy right now? At this time, Zhao Qiang had finished his studies at the party school and served as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and acting governor of eastern Guangdong. Secretary Huang also followed Zhao Qiang to eastern Guangdong.

"I don't have anything to do, the boss is talking to the old one, and I'm just free." The number one in Secretary Huang's mouth is naturally Du Hongjun, secretary of the provincial party committee, and he said: "Changfeng, what's the matter with you?" ”

Zhao Changfeng said: "That's the case, the Department of Finance suddenly deducted the arrears accumulated in our county over the years, and now the county has no money to pay salaries, and I am ready to ask the big men in the Department of Finance to plead." ”

Secretary Huang groaned for a while, he had followed Zhao Qiang to Yuehai County for only half a month, and he was not familiar with the situation in the province for the time being. Zhao Qiang has not yet gone to the Department of Finance to investigate, Secretary Huang has not taken a line in the Department of Finance, the secretary actually represents the boss, if he rashly calls the leaders of the Department of Finance, if the leaders of the Department of Finance agree, it is fine, if he does not agree, wouldn't it be a loss of face for Zhao Qiang? Although Zhao Qiang is the newly appointed governor, and according to the age trend, he will soon take over the class of the old Du Hongjun, and the leaders of the Finance Department may not have the courage to refuse Secretary Huang's call, but what if the leaders of the Finance Department do not open their eyes?

"Changfeng, this way, I think it's better to let the secretary general go out." Secretary Huang said: "The secretary general is familiar with the situation in the province, and he knows who to find. ”

"Don't bother the Secretary-General, right?" Zhao Changfeng said: "Brother Huang, let me tell you the truth, I didn't expect to get this money back from the Finance Department at all." I'm just making a show for the people below. ”

As soon as Zhao Changfeng said this, Mo Yuegen, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, was shocked in his heart. Boss Xiao Zhao didn't expect to get the money back from the Finance Department at all? What does that mean? Doesn't Boss Xiao Zhao know how much impact it will have on him if he can't pay his salary at that time?

Secretary Huang laughed over there, "Changfeng, no wonder the boss said that you kid is a ghost?" Tell me, what the hell are you up to? ”

"Brother Huang, can I still hide my little ghost thoughts from you?" Zhao Changfeng smiled and said, "Anyway, you can help me find an ordinary relationship tonight, and it would be good if I could ask the director of the budget department of the Department of Finance to come out for dinner." ”

"This one, it's easy to do!" Secretary Huang thought for a while and said, "Xiao Ping, deputy director of the Cadre Division of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and I are alumni. I asked him to help you ask the head of the budget office out for dinner, and it shouldn't be a problem. I'll get you in touch first, and I'll call you later. ”

It didn't take much time, and Secretary Huang's phone called, and he said: "Changfeng, good luck, Xiao Ping and Yang Siqing, director of the budget department, are free tonight." In this way, you come to the provincial political axe, I will first help you introduce Director Xiao Ping, and then let Director Xiao Ping accompany you to see Yang Siqing. ”

When he was about to arrive in Yangcheng, Mo Yuegen's phone rang, he answered the phone and hummed a few times, put down the phone and said to Zhao Changfeng: "Boss, Director Gao Wangshan of the Provincial Office said that the place has been arranged, and it is the most luxurious private room in Baiyun Hotel, Fuguixuan." ”

Zhao Changfeng nodded and said, "Okay, you ask Director Long to go over and meet Director Gao first, and wait in the box." ”

Mo Yuegen dialed Long Qiangtao's phone: "Director Long, the county magistrate said, let you go and meet Gao Wangshan, the director of the provincial offices, and wait at the hotel." ”

Long Qiangtao was annoyed when he listened to Mo Yuegen's words, and said in his heart that he was also the director of the Yuehai County Finance Bureau who held real power, no matter how big your Xiaozhao County Magistrate was, you couldn't always let Mo Yuegen pass the word in the middle, right?

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Long Qiangtao asked again: "Director Mo, do you know which big man the county magistrate invited tonight?" ”

Mo Yuegen obviously heard Zhao Changfeng's phone call clearly on the side, but at this time, he was sloppy with Long Qiangtao and said: "This county magistrate didn't say it, and I don't dare to ask, why don't you call and ask the county magistrate?" ”

"Hehe, you don't dare to ask, how dare I, a little director, ask?" Long Qiangtao replied to Mo Yuegen and hung up the phone stupidly.

Putting down the phone, Long Qiangtao immediately dialed Qian Yunfeng's mobile phone: "Secretary Qian, Zhao Changfeng seems to have contacted someone over there, I don't know who it is." He asked me to wait in the hotel box with Director Gao of the Provincial Office. ”

"Who else?" Qian Yunfeng sneered: "With my uncle standing there, I don't believe that there is any blind thing in the Department of Finance who dares to go to the banquet in Yuehai County." ”

Long Qiangtao is not as optimistic as Qian Yunfeng, in the county, the Public Security Bureau and the Finance Bureau are the two most important departments with real power. For the top leaders of these two departments, the county magistrates and the secretaries of the county party committees must deliberately encircle them, and generally call and contact the directors of the two bureaus in person. But Zhao Changfeng made it clear today that he deliberately snubbed him, not only did he directly pass a word with him, but also did not ask him about what was going on with the deduction of the money by the Department of Finance, if Zhao Changfeng was not confident, could he be so arrogant? "Zhao Chang's windmill was stopped by the armed police when it drove to the provincial political axe, and the No. 2 car in Yuehai County was of course not easy to use in the provincial political axe. Secretary Huang's call came quickly, and after the armed police listened to Secretary Huang's call, their attitude towards Zhao Changfeng immediately became much kinder, and they got out of the way and let the Yan-colored Duke Wang drive in.

Secretary Huang's office was hidden, Zhao Changfeng pushed open the door, Secretary Huang was sitting on the sofa to talk to a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old man in purple, seeing Zhao Changfeng come in, Secretary Huang immediately walked up quickly: "Changfeng, I haven't seen you for two months, you are much more chic!" ”

Zhao Changfeng held Secretary Huang's hand tightly and said with a smile: "Brother Huang is the demeanor, if I can catch up with Brother Huang's general chic, I will be satisfied!" ”

Secretary Huang took Zhao Changfeng's hand and came to the purple-clothed man in front of Ming and introduced: "Changfeng, let me introduce you, this is Director Xiao Ping of the Cadre Division of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. ”

Zhao Changfeng hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Director Xiao, thank you for your help. I've always heard Brother Huang mention you in front of me, but I didn't have a chance to meet. It's an honor to finally meet you today! ”

Xiao Ping had long heard that the relationship between Zhao Changfeng and Governor Zhao Qiang was extraordinary, he thought that such a young and ambitious person, even if his cultivation was deep, he would inevitably be a little frivolous, but when he met today, he didn't expect Zhao Changfeng to be so humble, and the good feeling in his heart suddenly increased, he shook Zhao Changfeng's hand tightly and said: "County Magistrate Zhao, you are really polite!" The transfer of you to Yuehai County as the county magistrate is completely an organizational decision, and I am just the specific manager, how can I be worthy of your such gratitude? After reading your information, I felt that the organizational choice was very correct, and you are indeed the most suitable candidate for the county magistrate of Yuehai County. After meeting you today, it strengthened my feelings! ”

Secretary Huang was even happier when he saw the two of them falling in love, and pulled the two of them to sit on the sofa and talked.

Xiao Ping saw Secretary Huang's affectionate demeanor towards Zhao Changfeng, and felt more and more that Zhao Changfeng had a bright future, otherwise with Secretary Huang's surname above the top, how could he easily be so affectionate to an ordinary person. So Xiao Ping decided to take this opportunity to get closer to Zhao Changfeng. He has been engaged in organizational work for more than ten years, and he has always been very accurate in observing the direction of the wind, and he knows that Guangdong Province will definitely be Zhao Qiang's world in the future, and he will have a relationship between Zhao Changfeng and Zhao Qiang.

"Changfeng, I'll be a little bigger, and I'll call you brother." Xiao Ping said: "Brother Huang gave me a brief introduction to the situation in Yuehai, but it was not very detailed. Can you tell me more about what's going on? ”

Zhao Changfeng recounted to Xiao Ping about the arrears withheld by the Department of Finance, and to Xiao Ping's surprise, he didn't get more information from Zhao Changfeng, and Zhao Changfeng's retelling was almost the same as Secretary Huang's introduction.
