The scope of Dongshan Town is not large, Meng Le's house is not far from Dongshan Hotel, Zhang Ke, Du Fei and Xi Ruolin followed Meng Le to his house. www.biquge.info This piece is a few single-courtyard houses, row upon row next to each other, some families will turn the flat tile house into a western-style house, Menglejia is still a flat tile house built in the 80s, the exterior wall of the stucco began to peel off, it looks a little dilapidated, the yard is not big, clean up, the evening laurel branches and leaves in the courtyard will cover the yard, just between the flowers blooming and fragrant. Pushing open the courtyard door, there was a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old woman standing in the court, wearing an apron and smiling at Meng Le and they walked in, there were some fine lines in the corners of her eyes - ordinary life is like this, working hard for life, it is easy to wrinkle, but her appearance is dignified and beautiful, and she said with a smile: "Brought your friend back?" ”

She is Meng Xueqing's former sister-in-law and his subsequent wife Zhang Wenlin.

"Well," Meng Le Weng responded angrily, turned back to Zhang Ke and said to them, "This is my aunt......" Zhang Ke and Du Fei nodded their heads as a greeting, and Xi Ruolin shouted obediently: "Auntie, I am Xi Ruolin, I answered the last time you called Meng Le...... What about Xiaohui and her? ”

Meng Hui is the daughter of Meng Xueqing and Zhang Wenlin after marriage, as soon as Xi Ruolin's words fell, a beautiful little girl of five or six years old rushed out of it, wearing pigtails, pink ribbons with beautiful bows, she rushed to the yard and saw that there were suddenly so many people in the yard, and she took her mother's hand with some confusion and said, "How did I hear Meng Le's voice?" Orr recognized Meng Le, flew over and hugged his thigh, and shouted, "Meng Le, didn't you go to school far away, why did you come back suddenly?" ”

"Xiaohui, you recognize the wrong person, you are hugging the handsome and charming brother Zhang Ke," Zhang Ke squatted down and pinched the little girl's beautiful face, told her in Xinting dialect, and picked up the little girl's soft waist, "I am your brother." ”

The little girl stared at Zhang Ke suspiciously for two seconds, then shook her head categorically, and said with a little immature procrastination: "You are not Meng Le, I recognize Meng Le's voice...... but held Meng Le's finger more firmly.

"It's a shame, I almost can't even recognize my sister," Zhang Ke joked with Meng Le, "How long have you not been back to Xinting?" ”

Meng Le hasn't been back to Xinting for more than a year, it's just that the child has a confused memory, but fortunately, Meng Le called back, otherwise he would really let Zhang Ke pretend to be successful.

Zhang Wenlin said with a smile: "Meng Le accompanies your friend to the house to sit for a while, I have to make all the dishes before the meal......"

"Auntie, I'll help you." Ceroline followed into the kitchen.

Zhang Ke shook his head and smiled: "It's really hypocritical, if Senior Sister Xi comes to cook this meal, Du Fei and I would rather go back to the hotel hungry." ”

Meng Le didn't dare to dislike Xi Ruolin, he asked Zhang Ke curiously: "Why do you speak Xinting dialect?" ”

"Xinting dialect is similar to our Dongshe dialect there, if you go to Haizhou, you can pretend to be a Dongshe person......

The dialect of Haizhou is complex, and there is a saying that "the dialect of Sanli is different", unlike the dialects in Xinting and even in the Jinshan area, which have not changed, Zhang Ke's language talent seems to be related to the complex dialect of Haizhou.

Meng Lejia outside is an ordinary flat tile house, but inside let Meng Xueqing ask the workers to change, the original east and west wing room plus hall house pattern changed to a three-bedroom and one living room plus ** kitchen and bathroom suite style, although the room is narrower, but more reasonable, there is more study, from the details here can be seen Meng Xueqing this person's careful thinking.

There are a lot of books in the study, the bookcases on the three walls are up to the ceiling, the bookcases are filled with books, and there are two piles of books directly piled on the floor tiles, the books are new and old, but most of them are old books, Zhang Ke, Du Fei and Meng Le sat in the study and chatted, after a while after dark, Meng Xueqing came back from the Dongshan Hotel.

Dou Weitao said that he wanted to find another time to talk to Meng Xueqing, Zhang Ke and Du Fei After they left, Ye Jianbin and Zhang Zhifei also returned to the Dongshan Hotel in advance if they had something to do, and he had free time to come down to Meng Xueqing to chat for nearly half an hour, in addition to Zhang Ke's clear attitude, he took a fancy to Meng Xueqing's resume as the director of the county's Dongshan Island Port Construction Engineering Office and the director of the county economic research office.

Zhang Ke and Du Fei came to Meng Xueqing's house as guests, but Ye Jianbin, Zhang Zhifei and Xiang Huatao of Nanyang Shipping wanted to stay in the hotel to accept the official banquet of Xinting, Meng Xueqing was delayed for a while in the Dongshan Hotel, and still urged Tian Mudong to come back, because Tian Mudong knew that Meng Xueqing's family had more neglect and no guests.

The kitchen and living room are very small, there is some cold outside, but there is no wind blowing in, put the table in the yard, put it under the osmanthus tree to eat, smell the aroma of osmanthus and drink, but it is a good feeling, although Meng Le claims to be a big man in Shandong, the amount of alcohol is really poor, others drink, he and Zhang Wenlin, Xi Ruolin and the little girl drink together, lose the face of Shandong people.

Meng Xueqing is Xinting's son-in-law, a native of Yuncheng, Shandong, and an intellectual youth who entered a state-owned farm on the outskirts of Xinting City during the movement of intellectual youth going to the countryside and meeting Meng Le's mother, Zhang Wenhui, stayed in Xinting and did not return to Shandong.

Meng Xueqing's youngest daughter Meng Hui is also chiseled and cute, a five-year-old little girl, a lot of nonsense, nagging endlessly, concerned about whether Zhang Ke has a girlfriend, and plans to introduce their kindergarten girls to Zhang Ke, Zhang Ke pinched her face and said: "I thought Zhitong had a lot ......of words before, but I didn't expect you to be the real good talker, introduce a young lady to you another day, and explain to Meng Xueqing and Zhang Wenlin, "Secretary Xu Xueping's granddaughter, this time I was going to Xinting to play, Because of the number of missed classes, her mother was forcibly detained in Haizhou......"

Zhang Wenlin was handing the vegetables to Xi Ruolin's bowl, the chopsticks stopped there, and asked in surprise: "You mean the newly appointed provincial party secretary?" ”

Meng Xueqing nudged his wife and said, "Don't put the dishes on Ruolin's clothes." ”

"Ahh Zhang Wenlin's hand shook, the piece of meat fell on Xi Ruolin's clothes, and she hurriedly took out a tissue to help Xi Ruolin wipe the oil stains, and said embarrassedly to Zhang Ke and them laughing at themselves, "I don't have much knowledge, I was really shocked to hear it, you know the secretary of the provincial party committee in Jiangnan!" ”

For ordinary people, at this time, it may be like falling into the clouds, Meng Xueqing is calm, and picked up a bottle of beer from under the table and poured a full cup for Zhang Ke, Du Fei and himself, on the way to the steel mill at noon, Zhang Ke has revealed enough news, Kumho can promote the Dongshan Island port construction project behind the scenes, and promote the 10-million-ton steel industry base project, it is not a strange thing to know the secretary of the provincial party committee, it is strange not to know it, he will not be in a hurry to understand all the inside information thoroughly, Wen Lin is first heard, I was very surprised.

Zhang Ke took a sip of the slightly cold beer after the autumn and said: "Vice Governor Tang Xueqian, my father and Du Fei's father are world friends, tomorrow is his first time in Jinshan, we will go to Jinshan first tomorrow, Uncle Meng asks for leave to go with us, right?" ”

"There are no weekends in the hotel, I have to ask for ......leave first," Meng Xueqing said, the upcoming Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Executive Vice Governor Tang Xueqian, he knows something, he was the secretary of the municipal party committee in Haizhou, which is across the river, and Haizhou City has been able to achieve such brilliant achievements in recent years, and Tang Xueqian has made great contributions. Many people have high expectations for Tang Xueqian's transfer to Jiangnan to serve as executive vice governor, and Jiangnan's economic development in recent years has dragged Donghai Province too far.

After dinner, Xi Ruolin helped Zhang Wenlin clean up the table, it is hard to imagine that Xi Ruolin is already the administrative manager in charge of logistics, personnel and finance of Chuangyu Company at this time, Zhang Ke and they took the little girl Meng Hui to sit in the courtyard with the full moon in the sky and chat, Meng Xueqing talked about the situation when Dou Weitao talked to him at dusk, Meng Le listened to it and joked: "It seems that my father's county-level top is taken down......"

"Normally raise the next level, Uncle Meng will be considered a regular department, the level is naturally not important, the key is to be able to do something, and after a while, then it will be more than the deputy county ......" Zhang Ke smiled.

"Why is it not at the deputy county level when the main department is raised to the next level?" Meng Le asked suspiciously.

Meng Xueqing was clear in his heart and asked: "Beixia County wants to completely demolish the Lingang New Area with a sub-prefecture and city level?" ”

"The latest news, the State Council has just set the tone for this to set the Lingang New Area as a national-level port industrial new area, administratively divided into the sub-municipal level, I don't know if the exact news has been transmitted back to Xinting," Zhang Ke nodded to affirm Meng Xueqing's guess, and said: "Dongshan Island is built as a port, and there are large tidal flats ranging from five kilometers to twenty kilometers wide along the coast, almost more than 400 square kilometers, which provides a large area of available land resources for the construction of a new Lingang New City and Industrial Zone, not to mention others. The steel industry base of only 10 million tons will bring more than 100,000 new people to this new area, and the scale of the Lingang New Area I envision is much larger than the scale of Xinting City at this time......"

Du Fei said with a smile: "Dongshan Port infrastructure investment is 20 billion, the investment in the steel industry base will not be less than 340 billion, this Lingang New Area is built, light and fluttering is 180 billion, the next ten years, not to mention Xinting, this Lingang New Area can even be said to be one of the economic centers of Jiangnan Province...... It's really too aggrieved to be just a new district at the county level......"

Meng Xueqing was promoted to the main department with normal procedures, and then he was mentioned as a deputy county, and the county was withdrawn to set up districts, and Meng Xueqing was transferred from a deputy county-level deputy to a county-level deputy position, which is not just a matter of rising tides.

Everything is based on the economy, the economic center of gravity is almost the same as the political center of gravity, the economic center of gravity of a region has always been the fast lane of officialdom, the seat of Lingang New Area will be the hot spot of Xinting officials, of course, the final personnel decision of this Lingang New Area will not be completely in Xinting City, that is, it is not surprising that someone in the provincial department is eyeing the seat of Lingang New Area. Zhang Ke's decision to hold a position of deputy with real power must not be too much of a request, and at this time he gave Dou Weitao a hint, but he didn't want to make too much trouble, and he didn't want to add any extra pressure to Xu Xueping and Tang Xueqian.

At night, Zhang Ke, Du Fei and Xi Ruolin went back to Dongshan Hotel, Meng Le lived at home, and he had to explain many details to his father.

At noon the next day, Zhang Ke and Ye Jianbin hosted a banquet at the Dongshan Hotel for Dou Weitao, Tao Shuyi, Tian Mudong and other city and county officials, as well as the staff of Kumho Commercial and Nanyang Shipping in Xinting. Meng Xueqing and his wife Zhang Wenlin and their youngest daughter Meng Hui also followed to Jinshan.

Zhang Ke and they rushed to Jinshan, just heard the news of the reunveiling of Jinshan Electronics Industrial Park, and heard that Ge Jiande, Chi Zuo Xiuzang, Xie Hanming, Xie Jiannan and others rushed to Jinshan, but at this time Jinshan Electronics Industrial Park was only the production and manufacturing base of Xinkewang -- compared with the desertion of Haizhou, Jinshan was more lively, and many provincial and municipal officials showed up, all of which were arranged by Xu Xueping himself.

Xu Xueping is also a painstaking work, compared to personal grievances, it is more important to let Jinshan's economy recover as soon as possible, this is the responsible attitude to the citizens of Jinshan and the people of Jiangnan Province, he even asked the provincial and municipal governments to give preferential policies to the manufacturing base of Xinkewang within a reasonable range as much as possible, and not to take the opportunity to make things difficult - the dead Yuan knows that everything is empty, which means that people will not be enlightened until they die, but Xu Xueping has been up and down for half of his life, and he has seen through the grievances and grievances, and he can reign for four years. I just want to do my best for this land and die for myself.

"Their movements are fast," Ye Jianbin sighed slightly, and said with a smile, "I want to see how far they can toss, it's too boring to play with them at this time." ”

"Isn't this nonsense? We'll just have to wait and see. Zhang Ke laughed, he respected Xu Xueping's wishes more than personal grievances, Xu Xueping is also one of the few people worthy of his respect, as long as the new king can still follow the rules of the game in this land, Kumho should also save some energy, after all, entangled in the domestic struggle, but will limit Kumho's vision and pace, the Mitsui hiding behind is the real object of Kumho's vigilance, and the new king is just a plaything in Mitsui's hands......

Tang Xueqian came to Jinshan, temporarily lived in the Provincial Party Committee Guest House, and Xu Xueping was a neighbor, Tang Xueqian's wife Gu Jianping also came to Jinshan, she stayed in Beijing with Tang Xueqian after the National Day, and the work relationship had already been transferred to Jinshan one step in advance.

Aside from occasional work meetings or government visits, this was the first time Tang Xueqian had set foot on the land of Jinshan, and he had already stood at the top of the power pyramid of Jiangnan Province as soon as he arrived in Jinshan, but he also shouldered the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the economy of Jiangnan Province with other members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.

After Zhang Ke arrived in Jinshan, he asked Ye Jianbin and them to lead Meng Xueqing's family to the Provincial Party Committee Guest Hotel to meet Tang Xueqian and his wife, and he was just about to rush to the airport to pick up Tang Jing -- Tang Jing also specially took a day off from school and flew to Jinshan to celebrate her father's inauguration.
