Chapter 002 Personnel changes at the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China

Autumn, the capital.

At the west end of Chang'an Avenue, opposite the CCTV building, a row of tall poplar trees stands side by side along the long blue glazed wall, tǐng like guards at the door. What they jointly escort is the Jingxi Hotel, which has the reputation of "the crown of the venue" in China. This hotel, which has completed the guarantee tasks of dozens of people's congresses, party congresses and plenary sessions of the Central Committee with high quality and high standards, is particularly eye-catching on the eve of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Jingxi Hotel belongs to the military establishment and belongs to the General Staff Administration. When it was completed in 1964, the construction equipment of Beijing City was the best except for the Beijing Hotel, the Minzu Hotel, the Qianmen Hotel, and the Overseas Chinese Building. Therefore, at the beginning of the opening of the museum, on the National Day of 1964, the Jingxi Hotel received party and government delegations from six countries, including Algeria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Pakistan, and Myanmar, and 61 professional delegations from 34 other countries, and received more than 260 staff members of the three delegations of the Northeast People's Congress, Central South China, and the People's Liberation Army held on October 20 of that year. Including the Treasure Island delegation.

Outside the world, Jingxi Hotel is considered to be the "safest hotel". Its management and security work is on the same level as Zhongnanhai, the Great Hall of the People and the Diaoyutai. Even in the impact of the Cultural Revolution, due to the special status of the Jingxi Hotel, a large number of senior cadres of the Communist Party of China were protected.

The first conference room on the third floor is the most mysterious place in this building, because the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee was held here, and the major policies of reform and opening up were determined in this conference room. Jingxi Hotel is proud to be a room that has made history and changed history. Today, this particular meeting room has a locked door, and it is said that it is still "as old as ever" after renovation, from the chairs to the glass style for drinking tea.

Because of this, Jingxi Hotel is also known to be the most difficult hotel to enter in Beijing. ID cards and work permits are useless, and they must be notified of the meeting, and they can only enter if they are picked up by the conference affairs team. In addition to the unobtrusive strictness of the guards, the dignified appearance and tall and mighty image will definitely impress people.

There is a guest at Jingxi Hotel today, it is Xiao Chen, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee. The youngest secretary of the political and provincial party committees came to Beijing to attend the 18 th CPC National Congress and will stay here from today.

There are many parking spaces in the courtyard of Jingxi Hotel, which are neatly planned, and in addition to the hotel building for accommodation, there is also a special conference building. In recent years, a large advertising column has been set up on the inside of the blue glazed wall, which has blown a little commercial atmosphere into this hotel with political bearing. In recent years, in addition to hosting major political meetings, although it is still closed to the public, Jingxi Hotel has also begun to receive some groups that mainly visit and investigate, and the content is relaxed.

The conference building of the Jingxi Hotel is a soviet-style building, with dozens of meeting rooms of different sizes on each floor, long aisles covered with thick red carpets, and most of the people passing by can be quiet.

At the beginning of this century, the Jingxi Hotel underwent a major refurbishment to better equip all levels of meetings. In addition to the security check device at the entrance of the hall, each conference room is also specially equipped with a series of confidential facilities, and some high-level confidential meetings require participants to store their mobile phones in special lockers, which can shield radio signals to ensure that the content of the meeting will never be leaked.

At the same time, in order to provide appropriate targeted services for various conferences, Jingxi Hotel has a special team, that is, female telephone soldiers who are responsible for communication support. They installed additional telephones according to the requirements of different meetings, and female soldiers were responsible for answering telephones indoors and climbing stairs outdoors. It is said that during a major meeting, an operator receives tens of thousands of calls a day. Moreover, because some ethnic minority delegations live in the Jingxi Hotel during the "Two Sessions" every year, each of these female soldiers speaks more than a dozen dialects.

Now that the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is getting closer and closer, Jingxi Hotel has also entered the preparatory period before the meeting. A few days ago, 10 painters from Jiangdong donated their carefully created works to the Jingxi Hotel, adding a new scenery to this special venue.

As a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, Xiao Chen has stepped into the sequence of "party and state leaders", although he is actually ranked last in this sequence (in fact, only the Standing Committee is ranked, and the political situation is not ranked), but it is enough to entertain friends at the Jingxi Hotel.

Xiao Chen arrived in Beijing this morning, first went to Zhongnanhai and had a conversation with the general secretary for one hour and seven minutes, and then had dinner with Chairman Xiao and talked for two hours by the way.

If you really calculate, in addition to Xiao Chen himself, there are four provincial party secretaries, three governors, and three leaders of ministries and commissions at this banquet, which can be described as a luxurious lineup.

If such a banquet is held outside, I am afraid that it is not good, but if it is held in Jingxi Hotel, it is already a fair and honest performance.

When the banquet ended, Xiao Chen did not send them out of the main building, but just said goodbye to them one by one at the door, and then returned to the room under the guidance of the waiter.

The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is a major re-election. Before the change of office, many cadres proposed that the general secretary was not too old to lead the team for another term, but he did not want to, but the general secretary refused without hesitation. In the meeting between the general secretary and Xiao Chen this morning, he also clearly talked to Xiao Chen about this matter, saying, "The official working time of each team should not exceed ten years, this is a matter of principle, and it cannot and will not be bad in my hands." He also said, "If we don't retreat cleanly, how can the new team travel lightly?" ”

Then, the general secretary mentioned: He believes that in the future, the primary goal of our party is to share the dividends of economic development with the whole people, which requires the younger generation of leaders to carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future. Xiao Chen very much agrees with this.

In the end, the general secretary patted Xiao Chen's shoulder very rarely, and said with a smile: "Relying on the old and selling the old, from the time you graduated from the middle and youth class of the Central Party School to the present, it can be regarded as I have grown up, in the past 20 years, you have been a decent person, eager to learn and progressive, an official and fair, and have made outstanding political achievements, no matter from which point of view, you are one of the best young leaders of our party, and I am very optimistic about your future and the future of our party and our country...... Xiao Chen, I have a sentence I want to send to you, you can see it as a request from me, the general secretary, before he retired, or as an old party member's expectation of you. ”

Xiao Chen was slightly moved, and nodded positively: "Please speak." ”

"The world is for the public." General Secretary Gu Banglan looked at Xiao Chen's eyes and slowly spit out these four simple words.

Xiao Chen felt that these simple four words, if they weighed a thousand pounds, made him even nod his head extremely slowly, extremely sluggish: "Definitely." ”

General Secretary Gu smiled at this time, and patted him on the shoulder again: "Go ahead." ”

Xiao Chen nodded, turned to leave, and his figure seemed to be a lot calmer again.
