Two days later, the provincial party committee officially issued a report and sent a deputy head of the organization department to Pengcheng to announce the appointment of He Yunzhi and Guo Wending, as well as the appointment of a deputy mayor.

Considering that Guo Wending had just been appointed, Li Rui did not bother immediately. The redness and swelling on his face almost disappeared, and Li Rui went to work normally after resting for four days. During this period, Gao Jie did not call, and Li Rui did not take the initiative to call. When that kind of embarrassing thing happens, it's best to have a buffer time, but also to keep a certain distance.

Since Guo Wending was promoted to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the head of the Organization Department, Li Rui found that the attitudes of his colleagues and leaders around him had changed to a greater or lesser extent, and there were more people who took the initiative to greet him. Even Liang Yongqiu, the deputy director in charge of the department, who had always looked at him unpleasantly, had a special talk with him, and his words were all encouraging.

Since Li Rui has decided to leave, he has changed his previous arrogance and gets along well with his colleagues, even if he hears some discordant sour words, he doesn't care.

At the end of the week, Li Rui felt that it was almost over, so he took the initiative to call Guo Wending. To tell the truth, how did Li Rui put Guo Wending in his eyes before. Unless there is something, he rarely beats him, but Guo Wending often calls to ask about the situation. The last time he had a conflict with Xue Feng, Li Rui didn't have time to thank Guo Wending. Although Guo Wending did not call this time, he still asked his secretary Yao Lei to inquire about the situation after the incident by phone.

On the phone, Li Rui could hear that Guo Wending's mood was very good. People are in good spirits when they are happy! Hearing Li Rui's request to come to the door to congratulate, Guo Wending thought about it for a while, and warmly invited him to come over in the morning, and by the way, everyone had a light meal together.

Since you can't go empty-handed, right? Tobacco and alcohol are too cheesy, and Guo Wending is not short of this thing. After thinking about it, Li Rui decided to take a statue of Guanyin with Dehua white porcelain that he invited in Panjiayuan in Yanjing a year ago.

Li Rui's grandfather likes to collect, and he has been grinding his ears and temples since he was a child, Li Rui is still very interested in this, and the big box in the small living room of the dormitory is all kinds of things he has collected over the years.

This statue of Guanyin is about 20 centimeters high, the carcass is heavy, white and solid, the appearance is glazed with white, the glaze is pure and lush, ivory white; The inner wall is semi-glazed, the bottom of the seat is exposed, the tire is thin, and the back is square Yin script "Lin Xizong Yin" four-character seal.

Lin Xizong is the late Ming Dynasty second only to He Chaozong white porcelain carver, he carved this Guanyin with the delicate texture of Dehua porcelain and the unique ivory white to show its quiet and soft charm, simple and elegant, smooth clothes, expressive expression, vivid image.

At that time, when I invited it, I picked up a leak, and it only cost more than 10,000 yuan. However, in the early nineties, Dehua white porcelain was far from being as sought after as the post-teens and twenties, and He Chaozong's works were often in the millions, and Lin Xizong's were also tens of millions. If Guo Wending knows the goods and keeps them well, he will be able to make a small fortune in the future.

Guo Wending's home is not in the municipal axe family home where Li Rui lives, and the family home where Li Rui lives was built during the special period and is relatively old. Later, with the continuous increase of personnel, in the late eighties, more than a dozen slab buildings were built on the bank of the Pengshui River as a new family home. However, there are 20 small Soviet-style houses behind the old family members, and most of the leaders at the level of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee still live here.

Guo Wending's home is on the ground floor, with a three-bedroom and one-living room layout, more than 90 square meters, don't look at the small area, but at that time, such a room type was quite good.

Li Rui is still the first time to go to Guo Wending's house, although Guo Wending's lover Wu Qiaozhen has never seen Li Rui, but he also knows that Li Rui is the son of the third child of the Zhang family, and this time Guo Wending can be promoted, relying on the support of the Zhang family. Wu Qiaozhen was quite enthusiastic, treating Li Rui as her own nephew, holding his hand and asking long and short questions, seeing that Li Rui was still holding a box in his hand, he said angrily: "Either you kid don't come, come and take something!" ”

"Aunt Wu, it's a white porcelain Guanyin, I brought it when I saw it was in good condition, congratulations to Uncle Guo on his promotion and fortune." Li Rui said with a smile, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

"It's a mistake to get rich or not." Wu Qiaozhen was also very happy, although she had heard a lot of rumors about Li Rui before, she had a good first impression of the funny and polite young man in front of her.

"Li Rui is here."

The door of the study opened, and Guo Wending walked out, followed by a middle-aged man in his early forties.

When Li Rui came, he was still thinking that Guo Wending had just been promoted, and he was the head of the organization with great power, and his family must be full of friends, but he didn't expect it to be so deserted, it seems that Guo Wending is quite attentive in this regard. However, the middle-aged man in front of him is very likely to be Guo Wending's henchman.

This is Su Zhiqiang, executive deputy county magistrate of Nanqiao County. Zhiqiang, this is Li Rui, deputy director of the Industrial Department of the Municipal Planning Commission. Guo Wending introduced that the two knew each other.

Li Rui's eyes lit up when he heard this, he was planning to be transferred to Nanqiao to work, so he hurriedly held Su Zhiqiang's hand and said politely: "County Magistrate Su, hello." ”

"Director Li." Su Zhiqiang also nodded with a very friendly smile.

Sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Guo Wending pointed to the box that Li Rui put on the table and said, "The gift that Zhiqiang brought was blocked by me, you are breaking my rules." ”

At this time, Wu Qiaozhen came over with the brewed tea: "I was also saying just now, this kid either doesn't come, it's rare to come and still bring something." ”

Li Rui opened the box with a smile, unwrapped the yellow cloth, and placed the bottle of white porcelain Guanyin directly in the decorative cabinet in the living room, "Uncle Guo is a new official, can I not be filial piety." ”

"You!" Guo Wending pointed at Li Rui and smiled, but he was wondering in his heart, how did this kid become so good at talking?

Su Zhiqiang didn't know what the relationship between Li Rui and Guo Wending was, but from the affectionate attitude of the couple towards him, and they had no intention of refusing the gifts they offered, he guessed that this Li Rui might be their junior, and he had a very close relationship with them, otherwise he would already be the deputy director of the Planning Commission at a young age.

"Director Li is really young and promising." Su Zhiqiang smiled and said politely.

On the one hand, Li Rui also deliberately showed his affection for Guo Wending's family in front of Su Zhiqiang, and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Su, don't be so polite, my deputy director is just a section-level cadre, and you are the real deputy director." ”

"You talk, I'll go to the kitchen and cook." Wu Qiaozhen greeted. Li Rui noticed that after he took out the bottle of Guanyin, Wu Qiaozhen kept staring, but because there were guests, he didn't take it in his hand to look at it carefully. It seems that there are still people who know the goods.

Li Rui also secretly observed the reactions of Guo Wending and Su Zhiqiang, they didn't seem to care much, thinking about the grassroots leading cadres in the early nineties, the gift giving was estimated to be limited to cigarettes and alcohol cash, and they had little knowledge of high-end goods such as antiques.

The three of them sat in the living room chatting about some topics, Li Rui didn't know much about the previous relationship between Guo Wending and Su Zhiqiang, Guo Wending only briefly explained the work unit and position when introducing the two, as for the relationship between the two parties, the degree of understanding is quite vague, this may be the art of speaking for people in high positions.

Li Rui said very little, sitting there listening to Guo Wending and Su Zhiqiang's gossip, but Su Zhiqiang took the initiative to lead the topic to Li Rui: "I heard that part of the funds in the provincial budget in the second half of today have been suspended?" ”

Examining and supervising the central and provincial budget funds is one of the main responsibilities of the Planning Commission, and Su Zhiqiang brought up this topic because Li Rui, who had nothing to say and would not be left out in the cold.

However, Su Zhiqiang's sense of smell is still quite sensitive, and the central government just issued the "Opinions on the Current Economic Situation and Strengthening Macroeconomic Regulation and Control" at the end of last month, with a total of 16 articles, mainly to tighten the monetary base, control overcapacity, and prevent the economy from overheating. The re-examination of projects under construction and the strict control of new projects have affected the distribution of funds originally budgeted by the central and provincial governments.

"At present, our Planning Commission is organizing a study, and the specific project has not yet been decided, but it is certain that the distribution of funds in the budget has been suspended." Li Rui said.

"The central government has taken measures to re-examine the special fund projects in the budget for the second half of the year, but the province has not yet reached a conclusion, how can you be so sure?" Guo Wending said with a frown. Although he is now the head of the organization, he was still the deputy mayor a few days ago, and he knows all about these situations quite well. Generally speaking, there are policies and countermeasures, and in order to maintain economic growth at the local level, sometimes they have to play some side balls.

Li Rui secretly sneered in his heart: The main author of this year's macroeconomic regulation and control is Hong Tai, the newly appointed executive vice premier of the State Council. Not only did he personally serve as governor of the central bank and strictly control the issuance of money, but he also cleaned up a large number of projects and development zones that were in name only and were built in duplicate, thus greatly curbing the overheating of the economy.

Li Rui said: "I think the central government has made up its mind this time, and it is estimated that the next step will be to send a working group to supervise the implementation of various macroeconomic regulation and control policies. ”

When these words came out of Li Rui's mouth, Guo Wending had to pay attention to it, and his uncle Zhang Jianxin was the deputy director of the State Development Planning Commission, and it was not impossible to know this kind of news in advance. He was a little puzzled in his heart, but then relieved, although Li Rui was an outcast, it could not be ruled out that he got this kind of news from other family members.

Guo Wending groaned slightly: "Li Rui's words make sense. Zhiqiang, you also have to be mentally prepared in this regard, and several projects in your county are estimated to be affected. ”

Su Zhiqiang was surprised, but he still nodded again and again: "I will make some preparations for this aspect after I go back, and I will be caught off guard when the time comes." He looked at Li Rui and wanted to compliment him, but when he thought of Guo Wending's objection before, he kept his mouth shut, so as not to offend the leader.

Li Rui took the opportunity to say: "Uncle Guo, I want to be transferred to work in the county below." ”

"Why?" Guo Wending was surprised, "Is there anything wrong with work?" Or is there something else? ”

Li Rui knew that the other factors that Guo Wending said referred to the conflict with Xue Feng a few days ago, shook it, and deliberately expressed gratitude and a little ashamed: "During the time I was transferred to Pengcheng, I was taken care of by Uncle Guo, and it also caused you a lot of trouble. I also found that I was lacking in many areas, a little impatient, and a little impulsive. It is very beneficial to go to the grassroots level to exercise and sharpen yourself. ”

Li Rui brought Guo Wending too many surprises today, and his mind was also spinning rapidly, this kid actually wanted to work at the grassroots level, if it wasn't for the sun coming out of the west, he might really want to develop in his career. Thinking of Cui Ji'an's attitude, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Li Rui.

"Which county do you want to work in?" Guo Wending didn't give an answer right away, since this kid has plans in this regard, he must have a good choice.

Li Rui looked at Su Zhiqiang and said with a smile: "I want to go to Nanqiao County to work, after all, it is also my hometown, and I am familiar with all aspects." ”

"Oh, I almost forgot that your grandfather, Dean Li, is from Nanqiao, and you are too." Guo Wending laughed and said, "But you let me think about it." ”

Li Rui knew that Guo Wending still wanted to ask for his sister-in-law's opinion, and Li Rui was not worried that his sister-in-law would object, because he was sure to persuade his sister-in-law.

"County Magistrate Su, maybe I will be on an errand under you after a while, and I will ask you to take more care of me then." Li Rui smiled at Su Zhiqiang.

Although Su Zhiqiang was a little confused about the situation, he still said with a smile on his face: "If Director Li can be enriched into our Nanqiao cadre team, he will definitely promote the development of our Nanqiao's work." ”
