On the morning of the next day, Xiao Chen, secretary of the Dingqing District Party Committee, rushed to the municipal party committee and municipal axe to make a special report on the incident that occurred yesterday. Sitting in the back seat of the black Santana car, Xiao Chen was talking to Xu Fei.

"The Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee means that what happened yesterday cannot be reported in the newspaper, let alone on television. In this regard, I have already said hello to Dingqing Daily, Dingqing TV and other relevant newspapers and magazines, so there should be no problem. Xu Fei's voice was quite calm on the phone, Xiao Chen knew that she was probably still in the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee now, and there were probably others around her, so of course her speech was more formulaic.

"Well, hard work. Please help me convey my gratitude to the leaders of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee and all the comrades. Xiao Chen also replied calmly. The timing of yesterday's incident was too coincidental, and the city must have to cover the lid, otherwise it would not only be him Xiao Chen, but also Hao Wenyong, Yang Haoyuan and even Zhang Pingchang, all of whom would have to lose face.

But because of this, Xiao Chen knew that he would definitely be criticized today. Xiao Chen had heard people say before that Yang Haoyuan was a little superstitious in his career, so if something like that happened yesterday, he would probably feel that the omen was not good.

However, Xiao Chen didn't regard the matter that was about to be criticized today as a big deal, and what he pondered in his heart was another question, that is, Yang Haoyuan's attitude towards Zhang Bangcheng seemed to have changed a lot yesterday.

In the early days of Hao Wenyong's era, Langliu, the municipal party committee and municipal axe (before the prefectural party committee) were almost all in charge of the local faction of Langliu, and later a Yang Haoyuan came down from the province, he knew that the province sent him down at this time, in fact, there was also a layer of meaning, which was to break Langliu's almost "pure local officialdom", so Yang Haoyuan relied on other non-Langliu cadres to gain a firm foothold on his own momentum, and on the other hand, he also spent great efforts to win over the cadres of the local faction in Langliu, but when Hao Wenyong was there, Yang Haoyuan's role in winning over the local faction was relatively limited.

But now that Yang Haoyuan has become the secretary of the municipal party committee, this situation has changed compared with before. As secretary of the municipal party committee, Yang Haoyuan is bound to establish his own prestige, and the best way to establish his prestige is to readjust personnel on the one hand, and "uniting" comrades is also on the other. The purpose of adjusting personnel is to show the authority of the secretary and subdue the cadres below from the general trend; "Unity" comrades are to show the secretary's "open cooking", so that more cadres can join the secretary's camp, instead of being unconvinced. These two means, one hard and the other soft, must be grasped with both hands, and both hands must be hard.

Yang Haoyuan, the new secretary, has only been in office for one day, and of course it is not good to immediately adjust personnel on a large scale, but the unity of comrades can be carried out. Xiao Chen estimated that Zhang Bangcheng was the first batch of people Yang Haoyuan wanted to unite.

Above officialdom, interests come first. Zhang Bangcheng is of course Hao Wenyong's person, but Hao Wenyong has now left office, although he must still have a lot of influence on Langliu in the short term, but with the advancement of time, this influence will definitely gradually fade. At this time, Zhang Bangcheng must have a new "backer" in Langliu, Yang Haoyuan and Zhang Pingchang are both leaders of the provincial faction, but Yang Haoyuan has laid the foundation in Langliu after all, and now as the secretary of the municipal party committee and the leader of Langliu, how to count it depends on his more promising, such a simple question, Zhang Bangcheng will naturally make a judgment. Although both Yang Haoyuan and Zhang Bangcheng knew in their hearts that this was just an expedient measure, and the word "Hao" on the top of Zhang Bangcheng's head would not change fundamentally because of this, but the expedient measure was also a plan and would be effective.

Xiao Chen also has another layer of thinking, that is, Yang Haoyuan began to release doves of peace to the original Hao Wenyong's people on the first day of his tenure, did he also consolidate the authority of the secretary before Zhang Pingchang, so as not to compete with the municipal party committee for power at that time?

In the end, he thought that Yang Haoyuan might feel that he Xiao Chen was not very easy to control, so he reached out and controlled Zhang Bangcheng under his own hands, so that he would have to maintain his advantages in Dingqing District, he would have to be more "obedient", and he needed to win more support from Secretary Yang. On the other hand, if Zhang Bangcheng is unwilling to stand aside, he also needs the support of Secretary Yang if he wants to increase his voice in Dingqing District. In this way, the entire Dingqing will be in the hub of his secretary Yang Haoyuan.

Xiao Chen sighed slightly, people say that officialdom is all human spirits, this is really true, I want to fight for power and profit all the time, fools are all trained and smart, can they not be fine? It's just that why can't these people let go of these selfish motives and do something practical for the local and the masses in a down-to-earth manner?

He pinched his eyebrows, laughing at his childishness in his heart. If that's the case, does Huaxia still need to be the current Huaxia? Not to mention [***], I am afraid that at least the primary stage of socialism can be ended ahead of schedule.

"Secretary, it's coming." Huang Rui turned around and reminded in a low voice.

Xiao Chen nodded: "Yes." He let go of his thoughts and waited for the car to stop under the office building of the municipal party committee, and then opened the door and came out by himself.

When Xiao Chen came to Yang Haoyuan's office, he didn't know why, and suddenly felt a little emotional, the owner of this office yesterday was still Hao Wenyong, and today it has become Yang Haoyuan's office. The office has changed, is the day also changing?

"It's Comrade Xiao Chen, you're welcome, Secretary Yang has already explained, let you go in directly." Yang Haoyuan's secretary had a good attitude towards Xiao Chen, quite polite.

Xiao Chen thanked him with a smile and knocked on the door of Yang Haoyuan's office.

"Come in." The difference of one day, Yang Haoyuan's voice seems to be a lot more majestic.

"Secretary Yang, I'm here." Xiao Chen pushed the door in.

Yang Haoyuan was reading a document in his hand, looked up at Xiao Chen, then looked at the wall clock, and waved his hand: "It's early, you sit down first, I'll talk about it after reading this notice, okay." ”

Xiao Chen nodded: "You are busy." Then he sat down on the guest sofa without humility or arrogance, but closed his eyes and recuperated.

Yang Haoyuan glanced at Xiao Chen, frowned slightly, and pretended to take the document and look at it again, while pretending to be careless, and asked, "Yesterday's matter, I heard that it has been dealt with?" ”

Xiao Chen opened his eyes, nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, secretary, it has been dealt with." ”

"Hmm......" Yang Haoyuan groaned slightly, and asked: "The cause, the process, I don't ask about these, I just ask the result, the occurrence of this incident made the municipal party committee and municipal axe very passive, and Minister Xu was quite concerned about this matter yesterday...... Can you make sure that this won't happen again in the future? Yang Haoyuan got up and walked towards Xiao Chen, he got up, Xiao Chen naturally stood up, Yang Haoyuan waved his hand, and sat down with Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen's heart moved, originally he thought that Yang Haoyuan was going to be held accountable, but now it seems that he has thought about it.

"All the work has been explained and is being implemented, and I don't think there will be such a thing in the future." Xiao Chen said it very cautiously.

Yang Haoyuan stared at Xiao Chen's eyes for two seconds, and Xiao Chen looked at him calmly. Yang Haoyuan smiled slightly: "Okay, okay, since you have confidence, then I can rest assured." Xiao Chen, I know that you are very thoughtful, assertive, and energetic in economic work. But everything is too much, and pulling out the seedlings to help it grow, sometimes it is not necessarily good. ”

Xiao Chen was about to ask Yang Haoyuan what he was referring to, but unexpectedly, Yang Haoyuan stood up, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about it here today." Mayor, you can go too. ”

Xiao Chen was originally going to Mayor Zhang, but now that Yang Haoyuan said this, it was as if he had approved himself to go.

However, Xiao Chen still nodded: "Okay, secretary, I'll go now." ”――

Forty-one-year-old Zhang Pingchang was extremely polite to people, and when Xiao Chen came in, he had already smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao Chen, right?" I've been with you for a long time, so come, sit here. Xiao Chen had been wondering what attitude Zhang Pingchang would use to treat him all the way, although he had also guessed that Zhang Pingchang might be very kind to him, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would be like this, and he was so angry that he was too angry, as if the two were not superiors and subordinates at all, but old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Zhang Pingchang even got up with a smile and went to make tea for Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Mayor, I'll come by myself." ”

But Zhang Pingchang's actions did not seem to be fake at all, it was not just a show, when Xiao Chen got up and said this, he had already taken a paper teacup with his surname and was about to make tea for Xiao Chen, and when he saw Xiao Chen standing up, he waved his hand casually: "You sit and sit, drink it stronger or lighter?" ”

Xiao Chen saw that he had taken out all the tea leaves, so he had to say with a slight apprehension: "Thicker, thank you, mayor." ”

Zhang Pingchang laughed: "You started drinking strong tea at a young age?" You won't have the habit of staying up late, right? ”

Xiao Chen somehow felt that this mayor didn't seem to be a mayor, but a little like the big brother next door, and he couldn't see any "official authority" in him, but he was this kind of easy-going and cheerful.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but relax a little, and said with a smile: "Sometimes when there are many things, I go to bed a little later." ”

Zhang Pingchang listened and nodded with feeling: "Yes, sometimes there are too many things, and the things of the day can't be delayed until the next day, and it can't be done at night." …… Come, drink tea. He had already come to Xiao Chen's side with a smile.

Although Zhang Pingchang was casual and polite, Xiao Chen didn't dare to take it with one hand. Honestly made a look of getting up and moving forward, and took the teacup handed over by Zhang Pingchang with both hands: "Thank you, mayor." ”

Zhang Pingchang waved his hand, sat down casually, and pretended to be displeased: "I'm just making a cup of tea, I've made two words of thanks, I'm so expensive, can't I do it myself?" ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "The mayor said he was laughing." ”

Zhang Pingchang sighed slightly, turned to the topic, and said, "I heard about yesterday's incident. What are the workers doing now? Is the salary paid or not? ”

Xiao Chen saw him get down to business, and he also restrained his smile and said: "Mayor, I am responsible for this matter, I got the news about the wage arrears of the second machine before, and later at the Standing Committee, I made a summary of the wages owed by this batch of enterprises in arrears, and then approved the money through the Standing Committee and repaid by the district finance. ”

Zhang Pingchang frowned slightly: "It's already been sent?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Chen said solemnly: "I thought it had been issued, but in fact, the money was approved, and the Finance Bureau also allocated the money, but in the end, the money was misappropriated by Zhu Heping, the leader of the restructured liquidation team and the general manager of the second machine after the restructuring." In fact, the workers did not get paid. ”

Zhang Pingchang's face flashed with anger, and he asked in a deep voice, "Then how did you deal with this matter?" ”

Xiao Chen said: "Zhu Heping was dismissed from his post and asked him to be responsible for recovering the arrears, as for the crime of embezzlement of public funds, he will slowly calculate it after he recovers the arrears." The wages of the workers will be temporarily supplemented by the district treasury, which will be paid within three days. As for the restructuring of enterprises, since there were so many problems in the early stage, it can be seen that the previous part has accumulated very many shortcomings, and the restructuring plan cannot be counted, so we can only overturn it and start over, re-examine the value of its state-owned assets, and then tailor the future development direction for it. ”

Zhang Pingchang's face improved a little and nodded: "Well, that's good...... One of the key points that must be noted is that the purpose of restructuring is to revitalize enterprises, and the first purpose of revitalizing enterprises is not to generate revenue and increase taxes, but to let the workers have a stable job and a stable and decent life. If the enterprise is profitable, but the workers are all starving to death, this restructuring will definitely fail! Of course, I'm not saying that the workers are all living in style, but if the enterprise loses money and collapses, this is considered a success, but of course it is not counted. I mean, the development of enterprises must be based on the increase in employee income, the first manifestation of enterprise development, should be the improvement of employee treatment, you know what I mean? ”

Xiao Chen smiled and nodded: "Of course, this is also the purpose of our district committee's restructuring." ”

"That's great, so we still think the same thing." Zhang Pingchang laughed: "I'll just say that I've been friends with you for a long time, sure enough." ”

Xiao Chen was a little curious: "The mayor has been so good for a long time, I really don't understand......"

Zhang Pingchang smiled and nodded at the sky, and said: "When you published an article in "Theoretical Dynamics", I was 'god's friend with you, haha, you won't climb high, right?" ”

Xiao Chen said with a smile: "The mayor said that he was laughing, just a little humble opinion, he was smiling and generous, he didn't deserve the mayor to say so." ”

"Huh...... You are overly modest to say that. Zhang Pingchang said with a smile: "The article published in "Theoretical Dynamics" is still called a humble opinion, and if you want to laugh and be generous, then our Propaganda Department does not need to do anything -- lest we give people a laugh to death." ”

Xiao Chen couldn't imagine that he attached so much importance to his article, and couldn't help laughing, and said helplessly: "Mayor, aren't you afraid that I will be proud and complacent when I hear this?" ”

"Before I saw you, I might be afraid, but after I saw you, I was not afraid, you are not a person who breeds pride and complacency so easily." Zhang Pingchang smiled.

Before Xiao Chen could speak, Zhang Pingchang said: "About the reform of the state-owned enterprise system...... I have been transferred back from the foreign trade and economic cooperation department, and I have seen a lot of foreign enterprises, and when I look at our domestic enterprises, it is really ...... There are a lot of drawbacks. Although foreign enterprises also have their disadvantages, but their advantages are also obvious, our state-owned enterprises should learn from the experience of others, they should study hard, can not engage in any 'middle school for the body, Western learning for use' thinking, this is not a problem of national culture, the economy has its own economic laws, since our current 'middle school' is not good, to lose money, to become a burden, then we can only use 'Western learning', can not be beaten every day and do not learn well, have to bear the loss, right? ”

Xiao Chen was a little surprised, this was the first time that the direct leader had discussed the work with him on such a matter-by-case basis, and he couldn't help but become serious, and said: "The mayor is right, some of our comrades still can't change their thinking, after eating a big pot of rice, they suddenly found that the unit they had worked in for decades suddenly became someone's private, and the grievances in their hearts were certain." But we also have to look at this matter in two parts. First, we must unswervingly promote the restructuring of enterprises, and if we should carry out property rights reform, we must thoroughly and resolutely carry out property rights reform, and we must not be afraid of wolves and tigers, and we must not have the spirit of drastic innovation; Second, in the process of property rights reform, the direction of state-owned assets must be clear, and to put it more bluntly, we cannot allow anyone to play small tricks in the process of property rights reform, and we must not allow state-owned assets to flow into the private pockets of certain people who are consumed by profit, and the vast number of workers and workers will be poor, and some villains will be enriched. ”

"Well said!" Zhang Pingchang praised loudly, slapped his face, and said: "I think so too, for example, a document I just read, Provincial Diesel (Xiaonan Provincial Diesel Machinery Factory) lost ...... last year"

"Mayor??" Outside the door, Zhang Pingchang's secretary knocked on the door.

Zhang Pingchang was about to talk about Xingtou, but he was interrupted, frowned slightly, and was not angry, but just made a "wait" gesture to Xiao Chen, and then asked, "I'm here, what's the matter?" ”

The secretary said, "Mayor, it's time for lunch." ”

When Xiao Chen heard this, he hurriedly stood up and prepared to say goodbye. Zhang Pingchang glanced at the wall clock in surprise: "Time has passed so fast??" …… Xiao Chen, you haven't eaten yet, come and have a meal with me, we haven't finished talking yet...... Although the city is in charge of the matter of saving firewood, it is on the ground in your Dingqing District, and you happen to tell me your opinion. ”

Xiao Chen laughed: "Okay, since the mayor wants to test me, I don't dare to hide it, so I have to say one thing and two things, if I don't say it well, I ask the mayor to correct it." ”

Zhang Pingchang said unhappily: "What kind of words are this, comrades are just discussing work with each other, what kind of correction, what kind of correction do you have, if you have any ideas, just tell me, you are a cadre who has been trained in the Central Government Affairs Yuan, and you can just use your brain from some places that we local cadres have not thought of, and where I didn't expect it, you can improve it for me, this is like words." ”

Xiao Chen was really a little surprised when he heard this, and he was slightly happy in his heart, could it be that he really met a leader who was like himself and dedicated to doing practical things?

His eyes lit up.

Zhang Pingchang is to commemorate a good mayor of "Langliu City" who once had a good official reputation. Some of the things that the mayor used to have are still being told by Lang Liu, and some of these small things will appear in this book with slight modifications.

In order to commemorate, and to make us believe: even in this era, it seems that there are still good officials.
