The Zhou family was originally an extremely ordinary and unobtrusive family in the compound of the municipal axe agency, because Zhou Ningyu and his family acted very low-key, almost obscurity in the past ten years, and never "attracted bees and butterflies".

But in the past two years, the Zhou family has become a well-known "man of the hour" among women and children in the compound of the organ, and has become the object of frequent discussion among many political axe officials after dinner. The reason why this is so is not because Zhou Ningyu supported the high-ranking public security chief, but because of Zhou Nan, the son of the Zhou family.

Since graduating from Jinghua University, Zhou Nan has never "stopped". first intentionally or unintentionally entered the stock market, helped Lin Xia and others speculate in stocks, and became famous as a well-known "young stock god", and then broke the news that he founded Feiteng Group and successfully listed in Hong Kong in one fell swoop, and became rich overnight and was worth more than one billion yuan, which shook the entire political axe compound.

And the fact that the son of the Zhou family became the first top rich man in China to go out of Haidu has not been completely "digested" by everyone, and then the news came that Zhou Nan and Lan Ruo, the only granddaughter of Lan Tiancheng, a Hong Kong Lan company, were in love and engaged.

Who is Lan Tiancheng? The richest man in Hong Kong is also the richest man in the entire Chinese circle, a well-known patriotic entrepreneur, since the reform and opening up, Lan's enterprises have continued to invest in the mainland, and at the same time, they have also launched charity and public welfare undertakings on a large scale, so they are very well-known in the mainland, no less than some Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

Recently, Lan Ruo has occasionally appeared in the eyes of some municipal axe officials and their families, and has become the object of enthusiastic attention from many people.

This "Aunt Ma" is the wife of a deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, named Ma Yan. Although Ma Yan had long heard that Zhou Nan, the future daughter-in-law, was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, she had never really seen her face-to-face after all, and lacked intuitive feelings.

When I saw it in person today, I saw that Lan Ruo really had a beautiful appearance, an elegant and luxurious temperament, and was a little more outstanding than she imagined, although Ma Yan was psychologically prepared, she was still secretly amazed.

"Tsk, Lao Yue, your family is really blessed...... Such a handsome daughter-in-law...... Look at the figure, face, and temperament of other girls, it's hard to find any of them-" Ma Yan praised repeatedly, stepped forward and took Lan Ruo's hand, and smiled gently, "Girl, are you still used to living in a small place like ours?" ”

"It's good, my mom takes good care of me. Thank you Auntie for your concern. Lan Ruo smiled slightly.

Ma Yan laughed aloud exaggeratedly, looked back at Yue Ping and said, "Old Yue, look at how polite this kid is and how good he can talk." I originally thought that people were from big families, quite like that...... That's great! Lao Yue, you are really blessed, you have a good son, and now you have a good daughter-in-law! ”

"It's really enviable......" Ma Yan added with emotion.

Yue Ping smiled, with a slight pride and pride in her expression.

Lan Ruo's demeanor was down-to-earth and generous, polite and polite, and there was no arrogance of a wealthy daughter on her body, which made Ma Yan even more appreciative, and she took Lan Ruo's hand with a smile and stood with Yue Ping for a while, and then left with a smile and went back to her home.

Lan Ruo had been standing there patiently smiling and waiting, without showing the slightest impatience. Although in the course of her life in her twenties, she rarely had the opportunity to contact a nagging secular middle-aged and elderly woman like Ma Yan, and Lan Ruo was not interested in what she said.

But this is a friend of her mother-in-law, even if she dislikes it in her heart, she will not show it.

To be honest, Yue Ping was originally quite worried that Lan Ruo would have some "shelf" contact with outsiders, after all, her background was too noble, and she was gentle and humble to her elders, so she might not be able to get along peacefully with outsiders.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law affectionately held their arms and went upstairs together, and not far away, the families of several cadres of the municipal axe organs looked at the backs of the two from a distance, and let out a soft voice of envy.

At about 5:30 p.m., the car that greeted Zhou Nan, Ma Xiao and Zhu Yanju to take office in Ningnan finally drove into the downtown area of Ningnan, and galloped all the way to the largest hotel in Ningnan and the official designated reception - Ningnan Hotel.

Ningnan Hotel is a subordinate unit of Ningnan Municipal Bureau of Commerce, which is a state-owned enterprise and provides one-stop service of catering and accommodation. In Ningnan City, the existence of Ningnan Hotel is a symbol of high-end consumption places, in addition to the formal reception of the political axe, most of the local rich people in and out of the place, ordinary people are not able to afford to consume.

The van was speeding in the urban area of Ningnan, which was not prosperous and had limited capacity, Zhou Nanxin looked around, and sighed slightly in his heart.

It is indeed a poor area, not to mention anything else, just the kind of beige old buildings in the urban area that were built in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the unplanned and beautiful urban layout, which is enough to explain the current situation of Ningnan.

The only thing that is desirable is that the roads are wide and tidy, the whole urban area is also very green, and the city is small but gives people a sense of elegance and quietness, not as flashy and noisy as the sea capital.

The van drove into the compound of the Ningnan Hotel.

Huang Yang got out of the car and took the initiative to open the door for the three of them, "Three leaders, let's get out of the car, the city leaders are waiting for everyone." ”

The three of them got out of the car, and a middle-aged man with a kind face and a dark complexion and a black leather coat strode down the steps of the Ningnan Hotel.

Huang Yang was taken aback, Li Kun, executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Ningnan Municipal Party Committee, was personally waiting at the door of the hotel. He hurriedly smiled and said respectfully, "Minister Li, these are the three leaders from the province...... Three leaders, this is Minister Li Kunli, Executive Deputy Director of the Organization Department of the Ningnan Municipal Party Committee! ”

Zhou Nan raised his eyebrows, hurriedly stepped forward, held Li Kun's hand tightly, and said with a smile, "Hello Minister Li!" ”

Zhu Yanju and Ma Xiao were also very surprised, although the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee was only at the department level, but because he was a cadre in charge, he was also the number one person in Ningnan City. Li Kun was able to greet him in person, which can be said to have given the three of them a lot of face.

Feng Botao, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Ma Liguo, Mayor of the Municipal Committee, led the members of the core team of the Municipal Axe of the Ningnan Municipal Party Committee to hold a banquet, and the Executive Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee greeted them at the door of the hotel...... This kind of over-standard treatment made Zhu Yanju and Ma Xiao somewhat flattered.

The two of them also stepped forward to greet Li Kun respectfully. They are now working in Ningnan, and their lives are sparse, how dare they offend the leaders of the organization department in charge of cadres.

Li Kun didn't have a little, so he smiled and exchanged a few words with the three of them very gently, and then took the three of them into the Ningnan Hotel, went up to the second floor, and went to a conference room.

Huang Yang took the first step to push open the door of the conference room, Li Kun smiled and waved his hand, "Three comrades, please come in, Secretary Feng and Secretary Ma are waiting for you." ”

Zhou Nan walked in the door with a smile, and at a glance he saw a banner hanging high on the central background wall in the conference room: "Warmly welcome the poverty alleviation cadres of the provincial party committee to work in Ningnan."

His gaze moved down slightly, and he found that the conference room was already full of ten people, mostly about 40 years old, 8 men and 2 women, all of whom had extraordinary bearings. At a glance, it can be seen that this is the "top ten standing committee members" of the Ningnan Municipal Party Committee.

Although Zhou Nan had not really met the leaders of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee in Ningnan, before he came, he also had some understanding of the current situation of the high-level power circle in Ningnan, and when he saw that the leaders present were exactly ten people, he immediately guessed that these people in front of him were all the Standing Committee members of the Ningnan Municipal Party Committee, all of whom were present, and there were many of them.

He guessed right.

Feng Botao, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Ma Liguo, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, Chen Yan, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Kong Xianglin, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Dong Lixian, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Meng Jie, Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and Director of the Public Security Bureau, Sun Ziqi, Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor, Zhou Jilie, Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Organization, Song Dejie, Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda, and Ma Jun, Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary-General, all came.

This battle...... Some are too ...... Zhou Nan gasped in his heart, no matter what, he felt that it was impossible for the three of him to have such a big face at night.

A tall, broad-fronted, big-faced man in his early 40s sitting in the center smiled loudly, got up and strode over, and said loudly, "Welcome three new comrades, thank you for coming to Ningnan to support the construction of the old area." Minister Li, which one is Comrade Zhou Nan? ”

This person is obviously Feng Botao, secretary of the Ningnan Municipal Party Committee. When Feng Botao asked this, Zhou Nan was stunned, and his expression changed slightly, but he immediately adjusted his emotions, stepped forward with a respectful smile and took the initiative to shake hands with Feng Botao and said, "Secretary Feng, I am Zhou Nan." ”

Feng Botao stared at Zhou Nan deeply, looked him up and down a few times, and then laughed loudly with a smile on his face, "Comrade Zhou Nan, you are really young and promising!" Welcome, welcome, I and several other leaders of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, but I've been waiting for you for a few days, ah, haha! ”

Feng Botao shook hands tightly with Zhou Nan, his attitude was very enthusiastic, in the eyes of Zhu Yanju and Ma Xiao, this enthusiasm was somewhat extraordinary.

The other members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee also got up with a smile, Zhou Nan hurriedly stepped forward and took the initiative to greet the leaders one by one, Feng Botao stood aside with a smile and introduced Zhou Nan with a smile, "This is Comrade Ma Liguo, the mayor, and Comrade Chen Yan, the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee......"

Next, although the senior leaders of the Ningnan Municipal Party Committee also had gentle and cordial smiles when they shook hands with Zhu Yanju and Ma Xiao, Zhu Yanju and Ma Xiao read more majesty and condescending indifference in the eyes of Feng Botao and others.

At this time, the two of them were not fools, they suddenly woke up, and after a long time, these high-level core leaders of the Ningnan Municipal Party Committee made such a big formation, and their real intention was to welcome Zhou Nan alone!

How could Zhou Nan have such a big face?! Does he have a big backstage? Ma Xiao secretly looked at Zhou Nan again in surprise, although Ma Xiao knew that Zhou Nan was a rich man, but business and being an official are two completely different fields, and being at ease in the shopping mall may not be able to eat well in officialdom...... Zhu Yanju, on the other hand, sat there respectfully, quietly listening to Feng Botao, secretary of the municipal party committee, who had little actual content.

"Ningnan is an old revolutionary base area, and it is also a poor area in our coastal province. The three of them came, and they may have an impression that compared with the open coastal cities, our conditions here are much worse! ”

"There is no industrial base, the geographical environment is not good, it is located in a hilly and mountainous area, far away from the transportation hub city, which are the two major bottlenecks restricting the economic development of Ningnan City." Feng Botao sighed softly, "But we in Ningnan are not useless, we also have our own huge advantages. For example, our resource advantages, beautiful mountains and rivers can vigorously develop tourism, and the coal reserves in the Ningshan area are abundant...... However, how to fully exploit these existing resource advantages is an important issue we are facing at present. ”

"Ningnan has abundant resources, sufficient and cheap labor, beautiful mountains and rivers, outstanding people, this is a hot land that can make contributions, I hope everyone can ......make achievements in Ningnan in the future," Feng Botao waved his hand suddenly, "During the war years, the people in the old area made great sacrifices to support the revolution...... And today, can we still watch the people in the old areas living in poverty? No, you can't! Failing to lead the masses to get rid of poverty and become rich and live a prosperous life is a dereliction of duty on the part of the municipal axe team of our Ningnan Municipal Party Committee! ”

Feng Botao looked a little excited as he spoke.

Ma Xiao looked at Feng Botao quietly, and said in his heart: I heard that Feng Botao has been in Ningnan for more than ten years since he started as a county magistrate, and he has not been promoted, which seems to be related to the lack of major economic improvement in Ningnan. Now that we are in the era of reform and opening up, the most intuitive way to judge whether a cadre has made political achievements is to look at the local economic development.

Listening to Feng Botao's speech, Zhou Nan's eyes flickered. He gradually came to understand that it was not that he, a deputy department-level cadre sent by the provincial party committee, had a big face, but that the big capital standing behind him had a big face.

For Ningnan City, the arrival of Zhou Nan has undoubtedly brought a huge opportunity to attract investment to Ningnan.

Feiteng Group and Lan's Enterprise...... If these two capital groups can invest in Ningnan, they will definitely vigorously promote the economic development of Ningnan!!

Thinking of this, Zhou Nan couldn't help but smile bitterly: After doing it for a long time, he turned out to be a piece of Tang monk meat! No wonder the leaders of the Ningnan Municipal Party Committee have given themselves enough face like this, it turns out that the drunkard does not mean to drink.

That night, the 10 Standing Committee members of the Ningnan Municipal Party Committee held a banquet to entertain Zhou Nan and the three of them, but at the banquet, Zhou Nan was the absolute protagonist, and he was very enthusiastic with several core leaders of the city. And Zhu Yanju and Ma Xiao sat like pins and needles, fidgeting, rarely speaking, and very restrained.

Although Feng Botao and others did not say it explicitly, they brought out a hint of solemnly inviting Feiteng Group and Lan's Enterprise to invest in Ningnan, but Zhou Nan pretended not to understand, although his attitude was respectful, but his words were leaky.

Of course, Feng Botao is not in a hurry, in his opinion, as long as Zhou Nan is still in Ningnan, sooner or later, Zhou Nan will take the initiative to invest in Ningnan for his own political achievements. Even if Feiteng Group or Lan's Enterprise do not come to Ningnan to invest, with Zhou Nan's connections and huge influence in the business community at home and abroad, he is a plane tree that attracts wealth and treasure, and will attract a lot of golden phoenixes.

Feng Botao's thinking and logic are not necessarily wrong.

It's just that Zhou Nan's personality is public, public and private are private, his personal career belongs to his personal career, and the business of Feiteng Group belongs to the business of Feiteng Group, and he will never pave the way for his promotion at the expense of the interests of Feiteng Group. Lan Ruo and Zhang Ying are more serious people, and it is almost impossible for Lan Ruo to blindly come to Ningnan to invest.

Of course, it is also his unshirkable responsibility to seek his own government in his position and make some due contributions to the cause of attracting investment in Ningnan at the appropriate time.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Zhounan is a resource for Ningnan City. Feng Botao had personally greeted Zhang Qiang, secretary of the Ningshan County Party Committee, in advance, and ordered him to take care of Zhou Nan secretly, and create a stage for Zhou Nan to show his strength as much as possible, and see what he would do.

After the banquet, under Feng Botao's personal attention, the three of Zhou Nan were placed in the guest rooms of the Ningnan Hotel, with a standard room for each person.

The next morning, after breakfast in the hall on the first floor, the three of them were about to go their separate ways. Zhu Yanju is in the city's organ, the Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Bureau, and does not need to leave the city; Ma Xiao served as the deputy county magistrate of Qingyuan County, and he, like Zhou Nan, had to be accompanied by people from the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee to take up his new post.

At the time of parting, Zhu Yanju held Zhou Nan's hand tightly and smiled cheerfully and enthusiastically, "Zhou Nan, don't forget to look for me in the city in the future, the three of us are cadres who came together, don't break off contact." I also go to the county to find you to eat whole sheep when I have time, I heard that the whole sheep in Ningshan County is very famous! ”

Zhou Nan smiled slightly, but quietly pulled his hand out of Zhu Yanju's hand, "It's no problem to eat whole sheep, but I'm afraid that Comrade Yanju will dislike our poor and refuse to come to suffer this hardship." ”

Zhou Nan turned his head and shook hands with Ma Xiao again, "Old Ma, I will always contact you in the future!" ”

Ma Xiao nodded enthusiastically, and then smiled meaningfully, "I will definitely contact you often, Zhou Nan, my old horse will ask for your place in the future, don't pretend not to know me!" ”

Zhou Nan laughed, "How can that be?" ”

On the side, Huang Yang, the section chief of the first cadre section of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, came over and said with a smile, "The car is here, County Magistrate Ma, according to the arrangement of the ministry, Minister Zhang will accompany you to Qingyuan County to take office, and Minister Li and I will accompany Secretary Zhou to Ningshan County!" ”

Ma Xiao's face changed, knowing that his treatment was still a little different from Zhou Nan, he was personally sent to the following by the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the head of the first section of the cadre, and he was accompanied by only an ordinary deputy minister.

But there is no point in comparing this kind of thing. From the attitude of these high-level leaders of the municipal party committee towards Zhou Nan yesterday, Ma Xiao knew very well in his heart that he was incomparable with Zhou Nan. It's just that Ma Xiao is also full of endless confidence in the future, and he has jumped from the director of a section-level bureau to the deputy county magistrate of a county, which can be regarded as a very good result.
