The military planes in the capital want to fly, no more than other places, and it is much more difficult to dispatch in the center, not to mention that there is already some tension in the capital in the recent period. Again, arrange a fighter plane to fly to Star City, the fighter range is not enough, so you can only arrange a transport plane, but arranging a transport plane to fly across provinces is obviously beyond the authority of your brother-in-law Zhang Xujiang, so in the end, the matter actually got to Commander Zhang, and Commander Zhang personally ordered the arrangement, so Xiao Chen was arranged to go over in the evening, and the middle time was so long, but it made Xiao Chenbai anxious.

A deputy director in his early 40s from the Air Force Operations Department of the Beijing Military Region personally drove to Xiangshan to take Xiao Chen from Xiangshan to the military region's airfield, where he took a transport plane to fly directly from Beijing to Star City. From beginning to end, the deputy director of the Air Force Operations Department of the Beijing Military Region did not ask Xiao Chen a word, and Xiao Chen estimated that he probably didn't know what this transport plane was doing when it sent him south. In fact, Xiao Chen guessed correctly, the army is not as good as the place, when Commander Zhang ordered the arrangement of the plane, he didn't have to explain to his subordinates what the plane was for, and the deputy minister naturally wouldn't ask, after all, the army is the army, and the secrecy regulations are there.

Xiao Chen was on a military plane for the first time, and he was originally a little curious, but after he really boarded the plane, he was immediately disappointed. In fact, he is not to blame, the purpose of military transport aircraft and passenger aircraft is inherently different, and passenger planes are naturally much more comfortable to sit on than this kind of transport aircraft prepared for war.

As the plane took off, a large black thunderstorm cloud formed just four or five kilometers east of the airfield, and spread and rolled rapidly in all directions. The thunder was so loud that it was heard. Light blue lightning repeatedly carved out the two wings that had melted into the night. It's clear that an early summer thunderstorm is approaching. This is also a signal that spring is about to pass, and it is the farewell of the spring god. Xiao Chen thought so.

At this time, the captain came over and asked: "Chief, do you want to delay the take-off a little longer and wait for this thunderstorm to pass?" "The captain didn't know Xiao Chen's identity, but the person who was specially arranged for a transport plane, he naturally called the chief according to the rules of the army.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly and asked, "How long do you have to wait for the thunderstorm to pass?" ”

The captain replied, "Report to the chief, it's hard to say. Maybe thirty minutes, maybe three hours, five hours. ”

Three or five hours? That's not good, I have to change trains when I fly to Star City, and it is estimated that it will be early in the morning when I arrive in Langliu, what kind of mental state will I see the new leader tomorrow, isn't it a good first impression? Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment, and immediately asked, "If you are on a military mission in peacetime, will you take off when you encounter a situation like today?" ”

The captain smiled: "If it is a military mission, of course it has to take off." But what the captain did not say clearly today ......" was that the order he received was: "Escort the comrade to Star City on the premise of ensuring absolute safety." ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "I'm also on a mission." Then take off, fly now. ”――

Unexpectedly, the plane had a safe journey, and it did not even encounter strong air currents. Xiao Chen himself was happy in his heart: I, Secretary Xiao, are out of the horse, and Thor doesn't dare to pretend to be with me.

When Xiao Chen got off the plane, not only was a platoon of heavily armed soldiers waiting to pick him up, but as soon as he got off the plane, he was arranged to get into the car of the Xiaonan Military Region and rushed directly to Langliu from the military sub-district airport. During this period, Xiao Chen received a phone call from Zhang Yicheng, telling Xiao Chen that he was now in Suixian City, the capital of Lingnan Province, so he could not come to pick him up, but he sent a car to pick him up through his father. The Suixian Military Region is one of the three major military regions in the south and one of the seven major military regions in the country, since Zhang Yicheng went to a meeting there, I think it is a more important meeting, of course Xiao Chen will not complain about anything.

When the car arrived at Langliu, it was already eleven o'clock, and Xiao Chen went directly into the dormitory of the district party committee. Huang Rui was waiting for Xiao Chen at the doorman, and as soon as Xiao Chen arrived, he immediately hurried over, took Xiao Chen's document bag, and said, "Secretary, I have tomorrow's schedule here, can you take a look at it now?" ”

Xiao Chen nodded: "Come up and sit with me for a while." ”

Huang Rui answered and went upstairs with Xiao Chen.

After entering the room, Xiao Chen suddenly had a feeling that there was no one in this house for a few days, as if there was a feeling of desolation, looking at the dust on the table, Xiao Chen felt a little nostalgic for Yan Weiyu who often came at that time. It seems that at that time, the house was always very clean.

Come to think of it, the last time I talked was really excessive, I should find a time to apologize to her.

"Tomorrow is like this, at eight o'clock in the morning, Minister Xu of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee will personally send Mayor Zhang to take office, and at the same time announce the appointment of Secretary Yang, it is estimated that he will arrive in Langliu at about ten o'clock in the morning to half past ten, and the meeting will be held at 11 o'clock at the latest, according to the notice of the city, the secretary should arrive at the municipal party committee at about 9 o'clock."

Xiao Chen nodded, took the material paper and looked at it, and asked, "For the new Mayor Zhang, can you have a resume issued?" Do you have any other information? "At the mayor level, before taking office in a place, the leader's resume is generally issued to the main colleagues and lower-level cadres in the area where he works, so Xiao Chen has this question.

"Only resumes." Huang Rui said, and immediately handed over Mayor Zhang's resume that had been prepared long ago.

Xiao Chen picked it up and looked at it together:

Zhang Pingchang, male, Han nationality, born in April 1954, Xiaobei Xiaochang, born in Beijing, started working in April 1970, joined Huaxia in April 1975, university degree.

Work experience: started as a worker in the infrastructure construction department of Xiaonan Weigu Iron and Steel Plant, then studied steelmaking in the Metallurgical Department of Hanchang Iron and Steel Institute, and then went to Xiaonan Weigu Iron and Steel Plant Mechanic Branch Technician, Assistant Engineer, member of the Party Committee of the branch, secretary of the Youth League Committee, and deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of the General Plant; In the mid-eighties, he was transferred to the Xiaonan Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League, and successively served as the director of the office, deputy secretary, and member of the party group; In 87, he served as deputy secretary of the Xiaonan Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League, deputy secretary of the party group and chairman of the Provincial Youth Federation. In 91, he was a member of the Louping Land Committee of Xiaonan Province and the secretary of the Lengjiang Municipal Party Committee (county-level city); In 92, he served as deputy director of the Xiaonan Provincial Foreign Economic Relations and Trade Commission and a member of the party group; In July 93, he began to serve as deputy director of the Xiaonan Provincial Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission, a member of the party group and the deputy director of the Provincial Investment Promotion Bureau, and deputy secretary of the temporary party committee of the bureau; In 94, he served as the deputy director of the Xiaonan Provincial Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission, a member of the party group and the secretary of the party group (department level) and deputy director of the Provincial Investment Promotion Bureau.

The new mayor is from a regimental background.

Xiao Chen pondered silently in his heart, and suddenly remembered that when he graduated from the Central Party School, the smiling face of Principal Gu when he presented him with a graduation certificate was in a trance.

"Secretary?" Huang Rui called softly.

"Huh?" Xiao Chen came back to his senses: "What? ”

"No, I want to ask the secretary if there is anything else to explain?" Huang Rui was a little apprehensive when he said this, the secretary didn't tell him to go, but he obviously showed the intention of leaving, I don't know what the secretary would think.

Xiao Chen didn't think about it so much, looked at the wall clock, and laughed: "It's almost 12 o'clock, it's time to rest, you have to recuperate your spirits, and welcome the arrival of the new leader with a full fighting state." Well, I'm fine, you can go back and rest sooner. Xiao Chen knew that Huang Rui must have slept less than himself-

"It was decided by the Provincial Party Committee: Comrade Yang Haoyuan was appointed as a member, standing committee member and secretary of the Langliu Municipal Party Committee; Comrade Hao Wenyong no longer holds the positions of secretary, standing committee member and member of the Langliu Municipal Party Committee, and has another appointment; Comrade Zhang Pingchang served as a member, member of the Standing Committee, and deputy secretary of the Langliu Municipal Party Committee. At the same time, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee nominated Comrade Zhang Pingchang to the Langliu Municipal People's Congress as the deputy mayor and acting mayor of the Langliu Municipal People's Political Axe, please consider it. The loud voice of Xu Zhaoping, Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, sounded in the conference room of the Municipal Party Committee, and after the announcement, it was immediately greeted with a burst of warm applause. (Note: The order of "serving as xx members, standing committee members, and secretaries" is generally written for appointments, and the reverse is written for dismissal, writing "no longer serving as xx secretaries, standing committee members, and members".) Because to be a secretary, you must first be a member of the committee, and then a member of the Standing Committee; Those who are removed from office will first not serve as secretary, then not as a member of the Standing Committee, and finally as a member. Next, there are three leaders of their respective positions and resignation speeches, these three are all time-tested leaders, there will naturally be no problem in speaking, looking back on the past, looking forward to the future, needless to say.

Like many leaders in the city, Xiao Chen feels good about the new mayor Zhang. Mayor Zhang is young and promising, forty-one years old this year, but he looks like he is only in his early thirties. This is due to the fact that the mayor has a clear face, even some clear eyebrows, he is very gentle, very gentle, and even has a little dimple when he laughs, and his demeanor is very capable, which makes people feel good at first sight.

Of course, Xiao Chen would never judge a leader because of his appearance, he had a good impression of Mayor Zhang Pingchang after his inaugural speech. Although the new mayor did not finish speaking in a few words, he spoke much faster than ordinary leaders, and he was very powerful, giving people a feeling of being willing and able to do things.

At noon, the municipal party committee naturally prepared a "simple working meal", but a member of the standing committee of the municipal party committee naturally had to accompany Minister Xu to dine at the moment, and Xiao Chen, the secretary of the district party committee, couldn't get to the table in the core of the city, so he was at the same table with several other county and district secretaries, and naturally chatted a few words about construction and development at the table, but in fact, most of them talked about how the conditions of their place were poor, the foundation was weak, and the work was not easy to do, which was more boring in Xiao Chen's opinion.

Before Xiao Chen came to the municipal party committee today, he had a very important feeling, that is, Zhang Bangcheng seemed to be relatively silent when he was by his side, but his attitude towards himself seemed to be more affectionate than some time ago.

Xiao Chen therefore guessed that Hao Wenyong's transfer to the provincial capital this time might be in jeopardy, otherwise Zhang Bangcheng would not be so depressed. Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, Zhang Bangcheng feels that no matter what work Hao Wenyong is in charge of after being transferred to vice governor, it will not be as helpful to him as the secretary of the municipal party committee. Of course, this is also very possible, after all, the county officials are not as good as the current management, how can a vice governor in charge of the first class be easier to cover people than the secretary of the municipal party committee, the top boss?

As for Xiao Chen's feeling that Hao Wenyong's adjustment this time is not very good, it is because judging from the secret struggle between the provincial party committee and the provincial government at this stage, the provincial party committee already has an advantage, and Secretary Yue used Xiao Lao's momentum to get rid of Secretary-General Zhou Chongnian last time, and this incident is not a very light blow to the local faction in Xiaonan. Judging from Xiao Chen and Wang Wenyuan's usual telephone contact, Secretary Yue should have taken the initiative in the provincial party committee so far, and this time Hao Wenyong's secretary of the municipal party committee was removed from his post and a new mayor was transferred to Lang Liu, maybe it was Secretary Yue's meaning, because Secretary Yue himself was born in the Youth League and was the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and it is not surprising that he prefers to use the League cadre.

As for Mayor Yang, it is said that he has a good relationship with Deputy Secretary Wang, but it is a little difficult to say whether he is considered "Secretary Wang's person", at least from Xiao Chen's feelings over the past year, Deputy Secretary Wang has influence on Mayor Yang, but it is difficult to say that he has control. Mayor Yang's promotion to secretary this time can be regarded as a bargain to some extent.

As for whether Governor Liu's side was defeated, Xiao Chen didn't think so. Hao Wenyong was certainly a member of Governor Liu's faction when Langliu was the secretary of the municipal party committee, but Governor Liu's control over him was relatively limited, but now that he has gone to the provincial capital, he can only walk into a trench with Governor Liu, which means that no matter what aspect of work Hao Wenyong is finally assigned to be in charge of, he always has an extra dock in the provincial capital, and Governor Liu's control over the provincial government is more stable.

On the way back in the afternoon, Xiao Chen sat on the black Santana, carefully pondering the situation of Langliu in the future. Secretary Yang's wish for several years was finally achieved, and the little daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law and became the leader of Lang Liu, and she is probably Secretary Yang's person in the eyes of outsiders, right? It's just that I don't know what Secretary Yang's attitude is towards himself, the last time, not so much as his refuge in him, is actually more like a win-win situation reached after a tacit agreement, in his own heart, he naturally will not see himself as his Yang Haoyuan's person, and in Secretary Yang's heart, I am afraid that he may not really regard himself as his "own person", but he has no one in Dingqing District who is easy to use, and no one is convenient to promote, so he has to temporarily reach this deal with himself.

So, now that the situation has changed, what will Secretary Yang do when he is in power? What should I do?

Secretary Yue doesn't have any people in Langliu, and the new Mayor Zhang went to work alone, can he get a piece of the pie in Secretary Yang's hands?

Hao Wenyong has been in Langliu for many years, and now that he has gone to the provincial capital, leaving so many Hao cadres, how will he stand in line in the future? Keeping up with the secretary? But the current secretary is the opponent of Secretary Hao in the past. Switching to mayor? The mayor's "boss" and Secretary Hao's "boss" don't deal with each other. Neutral? Who would have believed that Secretary Hao had arrived in the provincial capital and would still be able to keep them hovering between the two giants of Lang Liuxin? I'm afraid it's beyond the reach of the whip.

Xiao Chen thought about it, and felt that the group of people left by Secretary Hao were in a delicate situation, and there was a feeling that his grandmother didn't love his uncle. Thinking of this, he understood Zhang Bangcheng's depression more and more. Presumably, Zhang Bangcheng doesn't have a bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know how to stand in line. It's no wonder that he is a little more affectionate to himself today, thinking that without Secretary Hao's support in the municipal party committee, he is really a little scared of himself, so he subconsciously shows favor.

Xiao Chen felt a little helpless about this, in fact, he didn't have to take power or anything, but when the official came to the ruling side, he would always have his own governing ideals. For example, Xiao Chen wants to engage in agricultural industrialization and industrial science and technology, and if the people below do not cooperate, he will not be able to do anything, if he wants the people below to cooperate, the best way is to replace his own people to do things, which in turn becomes "cultivating party henchmen and monopolizing power".

In fact, Xiao Chen does not have high requirements for Zhang Bangcheng in his heart, as long as he cooperates with his work. He has heard a lot at home, and he knows that the first leader can't force the deputy to have no status at all, and he can't make the deputy look like a transparent person everywhere. Because in the eyes of superiors, this is by no means a manifestation of ability and ability, but can only be worn by superior leaders with a certain arbitrary hat.

It is precisely for this reason that Xiao Chen will hand over the big task of "Ten Cities Joint Creation" assigned by the municipal party committee and municipal axe to Zhang Bangcheng to take care of, which is also to say to the municipal party committee from another side: I, the number one, is not a hegemon, I still attach great importance to the work of the political axe, and I am willing to let the political axe bear a little more burden.

The three Santana drove towards the district party committee and the district government axe, and when they were not far from the district committee, the speed of the car suddenly slowed down, and Lao Han said: "Secretary, it seems that something is not quite right in front." ”

Xiao Chen opened his eyes, and Huang Rui had already spoken: "Secretary, the situation ahead is not right, it seems that someone has petitioned." ”

Xiao Chen looked ahead, and it was estimated that at least two or three hundred people were blocking the gate of the district party committee, and many people were shouting something there, but Xiao Chen couldn't hear it clearly in the car.

His face suddenly became serious, and he frowned, "What is this for?" Group petitions? What's going on? As he spoke, he lowered the glass and heard the workers outside shouting, "We have to go to work!" ”

"We want wages!"

"The political axe will return our hard-earned money!"

Xiao Chen's face was gloomy: "What's going on?" ”

Huang Rui saw sweat on his forehead, and he couldn't figure out the situation, so he could only answer: "Secretary, I'll go down and find out, right?" ”

Xiao Chen shook his head a little annoyed, took out the phone and dialed Zhang Bangcheng's number, Zhang Bangcheng's car was behind Xiao Chen's car, and he should have seen it at this time.

"District Chief, do you see the situation ahead? Do you know what's going on? ”

Zhang Bangcheng's tone was also shocked: "I can't be sure now, but it must be an employee of a bankrupt or suspended company who is making trouble." ”

When Xiao Chen heard the word trouble, he frowned slightly, suppressed his dissatisfaction in his tone, and said, "What do they mean by shouting for wages?" What does it mean to pay back their hard-earned money? Did the political axe rob them of their hard-earned money? ”

When Zhang Bangcheng heard this, his heart suddenly burst into thought, and he thought of a good remark, and hurriedly said: "This...... Recently, I have mainly focused on the 'Ten Cities Joint Creation', and I have asked less questions in the industry, secretary, do you think you want to ask Comrade Zhipeng and Comrade Zhang Yang? ”

Xiao Chen frowned and said expressionlessly, "Got it." ”

Xiao Chen was very dissatisfied with Zhang Bangcheng's words.
