Chapter 130: An Unexpected Compromise
Wenshan Hotel is a guest hotel of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, and its reputation in Haizhou is not as good as that of Xicheng Hotel, but if Zhang Ke chooses, he will definitely choose Wenshan Hotel on the east side of Xiaojin Lake to stay. Several small buildings of the Wenshan Hotel are hidden in the green water and green forest.
It's a pity that the Wenshan Hotel is under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Party Committee, if it weren't for the designated meeting or work, the people on the side of the municipal government rarely go to the Wenshan Hotel for dinner, and Tang Xueqian would rather choose the Xicheng Hotel.
From these details, it can also be seen that Tang Xueqian and Zhou Fuming, as the first and second leaders of Haizhou City, have formed a close alliance out of various practical needs, and it is not without a little gap.
The entrance is lush with trees, and the pebble-paved road is like the entrance to a park, Zhang Ke asked Zhou Wenbin to drive the car directly to the innermost No. 6 building, and saw a few cars parked in the open space in front of the building.
In ninety-four years, the crown was one of the few high-end cars in China, and in ninety-four years, Haizhou only had four or five crowns of this kind of gear, and Zhang Ke flashed a few names in his mind.
No matter who it is, they are still on duty at night in the Xifeng Building of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, and the most likely thing is that they were called over to play cards.
Winning or losing cards is not considered to be a gift or bribe, and the leaders in the city like to play cards.
On the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year, I called the CEO of a private company to play cards, who is it? Dad will definitely not do such an outrageous thing, today's night leader is Deputy Mayor Fang Hongqing, Zhang Ke is not familiar with this person, with Dad coming, Fang Hongqing will definitely be afraid of things reaching Tang Xueqian's ears, who else is on duty today in the municipal party committee and municipal government.
Each building is not big, there is a service desk, it is almost nine o'clock at this time, a man and a woman two waiters are sitting in the service desk, Zhang Ke reported his father's name, and the man picked up the internal phone and dialed it. Zhang Ke asked the waitress: "The boss of Jincheng is quite diligent, and today is only the second year of junior high school, so he rushed over to deliver money." ”
The waitress pursed her lips and smiled, her face was very beautiful, the waiter of the Wenshan Hotel can be said to be selected in Haizhou, which is a tradition that was preserved by his grandfather when he was the secretary of the municipal party committee.
The phone got through, and the man asked Zhang Ke: "Are you the son of Secretary General Zhang?" ”
Zhang Ke nodded. The man hurriedly walked out from behind the service desk and said to Zhang Ke: "Secretary General Zhang, they are playing cards on the third floor, and I will lead you over." ”
Zhang Ke followed him: "Zhao Jinrong often comes to Wenshan Hotel to play? ”
"I didn't come here often before, but I came here a few times a year." The man leaned sideways to lead the way in front, this posture was cultivated by the city leaders all the year round, and he also knew the rules of being strict in doing things in Wenshan Hotel, but he only responded to Zhang Ke's questioning slightly, and did not say anything else.
The corners of Zhang Ke's mouth pursed, thinking that he was still young and took advantage of it, and other people couldn't get anything out of the waiter's mouth. Although only a sentence or two, that would be enough.
Zhao Jinrong as one of the earliest successful private business owners in Haizhou, has always occupied a very important role in Haizhou City, there is no doubt that his relationship with Wanjia has always been very close, Jincheng Group is Wan Xiangqian support, Wan Xiangqian to Ding Xiangshan forced back to the second line, Wanjia still has a strong political force in Haizhou, Zhao Jinrong has not changed its banner, indicating that Wanjia and Jincheng Group have a deep symbiotic relationship. It is said that when the leaders of the municipal party committee and the municipal government both have deep contradictions with Wan Qianqian, there is absolutely no reason for Zhao Jinrong to appear in the guest house of the municipal party committee and municipal government.
Unreasonable things happened, and just a few days before the Chinese New Year, it showed that there were changes in Haizhou City that ordinary citizens could not perceive.
There was a little cold in the aisle, the male waiter stood in front of room 308 and knocked gently, Zhang Ke pushed the door open, and saw Wan Yong sitting at the gambling table, his heart was shocked, the strange middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sitting in Wan Yong's house was probably Zhao Jinrong.
This is the situation that Zhang Ke is most unwilling to see, Zhou Fuming left Tang Xueqian and compromised with Wan Xiangqian, the old fox! Zhou Fuming is really a standard politician, there is no big right or wrong in his eyes, only his own interests.
"Why is Uncle Wan also on duty in the city today?" Zhang Ke spat in his stomach, and he went over to try Wan Yong's tone.
"You stinky boy, you scream sweetly, and you really look at your Uncle Wan in your eyes?" Wan Yong slapped Zhang Ke on the back of the head, "Bully your classmates at school." ”
Wan Yong slapped people without warning, and when others saw him with a smile on his face, they only treated him as a joke, but the back of Zhang Ke's head gave him this slap that hurt. Zhang Ke was on fire in his heart, and he couldn't attack, knowing that it was Wan Tiancai and Zhao Siming who had suffered losses several times and told Wan Yong and Zhao Jinrong, but he didn't expect Wan Yong to be so tasteless, and he was bullying.
It's a pity that this festival can't be brought back for a while, and it will be sent to Wancai's head for the time being, Zhang Ke thought that his face should be dead and dead at that moment, and smiled in a blink of an eye, covering up some of the anger on his face, and said: "If you insist on having a break with me, then I will respectfully call you ......Director Wan in the future" Zhang Ke looked at Vice Mayor Fang Hongqing's face was also a little unkind, and his father didn't look happy, today the Municipal Party Committee should be the Minister of Organization Yang Xu's promotion night. Even if Yang Xusheng has something to replace, it will not be Wan Yong's turn to replace him.
No wonder Fang Hongqing and his father were not very happy, but they had to sit at the same table to play cards.
Tang Xueqian's driver Liu Wenbing sat behind Zhang Zhixing and looked at the card, and when he saw Zhang Ke coming in, he got up and went to another house to rest, and he was going to drive to the provincial capital tomorrow, unlike other people who could rest in the car.
Zhang Ke walked around the table, but he didn't expect Wan Yong to win more than Fang Hongqing, no wonder Fang Hongqing's face was ugly.
Vice Mayor Fang Hongqing is not a member of the Standing Committee of the city, among several people, his status is not particularly prominent, as long as the leader of the powerful department in the city is not directly managed by Fang Hongqing, as long as Fang Hongqing does not look like the face of the Standing Committee, he can even ignore him.
Wan Yong, as the director of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission, is one step away from being the deputy mayor, since Zhou Fuming compromised with Wan Xiangqian, the fox, will it be Wan Yongjin Standing Committee member next?
Zhang Ke suddenly felt an incomparably headache, it seems that Wan Yong is sure to enter the Standing Committee this time, his father is mixed well, Haizhou Holdings has improved in two or three years, and maybe he will be quickly promoted to the deputy department level, as long as Xu Ping is taken care of in the province, the deputy mayor and the mayor's assistant are not very difficult things, but it is difficult to enter the Standing Committee, and it is even more difficult to surpass Wan Yong.
Thinking that such a disgusting person will always be pressed in the future, Zhang Ke feels upset for his father, and the most important thing is whether Tang Xueqian can still maintain a superficial honeymoon relationship with Zhou Fuming?
Zhang Ke was giving himself a dudge in his heart, the unjust imprisonment in the summer of '94, Tang Xueqian also benefited a lot, but after all, it was used by Zhou Fuming, and it was impossible not to have a little mustard in his heart. Zhou Fuming's behavior can be said to be a betrayal of the alliance between the two.
Zhou Fuming is a hidden old fox, Tang Xueqian has a strong personality, it seems that he should not expect a moment of peace in the officialdom, the key is that his side is at a disadvantage, which makes Zhang Ke extremely unhappy.
Zhang Ke stood between Zhao Jinrong and Wan Yong to watch the cards, and saw how Zhao Jinrong gave Wan Yong money under his nose. Zhao Jinrong began to release water to Wan Yong into two, Zhang Ke was not crazy, and said to Zhao Jinrong with a smile, "Your cards are played so strangely, I don't look at Director Wan's cards, I know that he wants this one, and you still give it to him." ”
Zhao Jinrong borrowed cards to send money everyone knows, Fang Hongqing was only annoyed that he won more than Wan Yong for most of the day, seeing that Zhang Ke seemed to be unscrupulous, he used the question to play and said: "Is it that I lost money with Zhang Zhixing today, Mr. Zhao, the cards are not played like this!" The word "last" is also bitten very hard.
Let Fang Hongqing say this, Wan Yong's face was ugly. Zhao Jinrong smiled and said: "I said I couldn't play cards, Mayor Fang still doesn't believe it?" Today I won to the three of you, I don't know if I can turn over some books before twelve o'clock. ”
Zhang Ke smiled and said to Zhao Jinrong: "I am quite good at playing cards at school, do you want me to stand behind you and teach you?" ”
Anyone else would think that Zhang Ke said this was a purely thoughtless performance, Fang Hongqing was annoyed that Zhao Jinrong and Wan Yong looked down on him, and said in a weird manner: "Mr. Zhao has found an assistant, and he has a chance to turn the book." ”
Seeing that Wan Yong's face was gloomy and dripping water, Zhang Ke was a little relieved, he was not afraid that Wan Yong and Zhao Jinrong would hate him.
Next, Zhang Ke has been standing behind Zhao Jinrong to look at the cards, forcing Zhao Jinrong to only release water to Fang Hongqing and his father, they were supposed to be good until twelve o'clock, but at half past eleven, Wan Yong was impetuous and threw the cards and did not play, which made Fang Hongqing even more unhappy.
Watching Zhao Jinrong enter Wan Yong's room, Zhang Ke stood at the door and said to his father: "I just heard from the waiter that Zhao Jinrong often came to Wenshan Hotel a few years ago, but you can't tell the specifics?" ”
Zhang Zhixing was in a state of consciousness when he heard this, and a cold air came up from his back bones, and his brows suddenly became tangled. As long as nothing happens on duty during the Spring Festival, it is not bad to hide in the Wenshan Hotel, and Wan Yong is on duty instead of Zhang Xiaojian, so he has a bad premonition.
Zhang Zhixing pulled Zhang Ke into the house and said: "Although Wenshan Hotel is a guest hotel of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, the Municipal Government has never been able to control this part. Today, the municipal party committee should be Zhang Xiaojian on duty, and it will not be Wan Yong's turn to replace him...... You go wash your face and brush your teeth first, and I'll give your Uncle Tang a call......"
Zhang Ke couldn't bear to listen to this call, and the news that Zhou Fuming might compromise with Wan Xiangqian was a big bad news for Tang Xueqian! Maybe this is the norm in officialdom, maybe Tang Xueqian expected it.
Wan Xiangqian exchanged his son Wan Yong for his own concessions, and Zhou Fuming and Tang Xueqian's positions will not be challenged, but the situation is very different, even if Xu Xueping firmly supports Tang Xueqian in the province, it can only ensure that Tang Xueqian sits firmly in the position of mayor, but Tang Xueqian is somewhat independent from now on.
Tang Xueqian came out of Haizhou Normal Institute and went directly to the city, starting from the deputy mayor, becoming the executive deputy mayor, entering the Standing Committee, and then the acting mayor, and quickly jumped to a peak of his political career. The only thing that can make him happy is that Xu Xueping will not be the governor next year, at least he will also be the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and the Commission for Discipline Inspection, which is already a clear thing.
Zhang Ke washed up, looked at his father just hung up the phone, his face was very solemn, and said: "Zhou Fuming is a good hand at balance, and he is not aggressive in dealing with people, the situation may not be too bad, and it is useless to worry now." "This is just to comfort himself, Zhou Fuming has been pressing Ding Xiangshan before, of course he will not be aggressive in dealing with people, but now that he is playing with Tang Xueqian behind his back, it is easy to develop the temper of a leader.
Tang Xueqian can come to this point, which is already an unattainable peak for many people, unless there are major economic problems, he will not suffer too much setback, at most, he will avoid Zhou Fuming and avoid his edge. But what worries Zhang Ke the most is that once Zhou Fuming acts arbitrarily, Haizhou Holding Company is afraid that it will become a chicken rib, and too many people do not want to see Haizhou Holding Company become an obstacle to their financial path.
Tomorrow I have to rush to the provincial capital, and they all say that I want to go to bed early, Zhang Ke fell asleep in a daze, and heard the sound of his father turning over.
The next day, Zhang Zhixing got up early, Zhang Ke was sleepy, and felt that someone was moving around in the room and someone was talking softly, so he opened his eyes in a daze and saw Tang Xueqian also standing in front of the bed: "Why did Uncle Tang come so early?" ”
"Well, it's almost eight o'clock."
It takes more than two hours to drive from Xintai, and he has to get up at five o'clock on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Ke struggled to sit up, the air conditioner in the room had already been turned off, holding the nest, seeing Tang Xueqian's face was fine, his eyes were blazing, and the news yesterday in his heart may be sudden, but it is destined to happen to him, and there is nothing to think about, but his father is not in his place, he was worried all night, his face was very bad, and he could make up for sleep in the car anyway.
"I feel very cold," Zhang Ke said, "Kumho has a car to the provincial capital at noon, and I can't get up at this time, so let me sleep for a while." ”
Tang Xueqian pressed Zhang Ke's head and said, "There may be rain and snow today, and the temperature is colder than yesterday, so if you want to sleep, continue to sleep." ”
