Under the sunny sky, after the Hongqi car left the compound of the provincial party committee, it drove into the provincial government covered with pines and cypresses.

In fact, the compound of the provincial party committee and the provincial government are only separated by a street, and it is only a few minutes away from it, but at the level of Ning Lizhong, it is impossible to go to the provincial government with his legs swaggering in, which is not only related to his personal authority, but also represents the authority of the provincial party committee.

Under the salute of the armed police, the car drove past the sentry box, and finally stopped in front of the foyer of the No. 1 office building of the provincial government.

The purpose of this trip is undoubtedly to meet with Governor Bai Yongkang, after all, looking at the entire provincial government, only this respected old governor is worthy of the courtesy of the No. 1 Provincial Party Committee.

In an instant, Chen Mingyuan glanced at Ning Lizhong's face, still frowning slightly and slightly dignified, obviously not in a good mood.

It seems that yesterday's meeting with the secretary was not very pleasant.

Now that several policies led by Ning Lizhong are about to be launched, but the influence in a few key departments is too weak, so these days have been bothering to install or win over their cronies in several key departments, but unfortunately, Ji Mingtang and others still jumped out to resist.

Although Ji Mingtang, Wen Haichen and others have been low-key recently, it does not mean that they will let their interests suffer, in short, the policy can be introduced for you, but the specific cadres who implement it must be firmly controlled by them, and they have put on an attitude of not giving up an inch!

In view of this, the purpose of Ning Lizhong's visit to the provincial government this time was nothing more than to hope for the support of Governor Bai.

The two of them went straight to the governor's office on the top floor one after the other, and the layout of Ning Lizhong's office is exactly the same, they are all separated into the outer room and the inner room, and the outer room sits Governor Bai's secretary, named Luo Kai, about forty years old, with a decent appearance, compared with Chen Mingyuan, a new secretary, he is very rich in the temperament of a leading cadre.

In fact, in addition to the difference in temperament, Chen Mingyuan and his official rank are also much worse, due to his young age and low qualifications, Chen Mingyuan is still only a department-level secretary, and Luo Kai is the deputy director of the General Office of the Provincial Government, a veritable deputy department-level official with real power.

"Secretary Ning, hello!"

Seeing the visitor, Luo Kai hurriedly got up to greet him, with a rigorous and upright attitude, which was quite similar to Governor Bai.

Ning Lizhong responded with a smile.

Luo Kai pushed open the hidden door and made a gesture of please.

In the inner office, Governor Bai was sitting behind his desk reading documents, and when he looked up and saw Ning Lizhong entering the door, he got up and walked over, shaking hands with him with a smile and greeting him.

Luo Kai followed up to make tea, and after withdrawing, he nodded to Chen Mingyuan and said with a smile: "Hello, Secretary Chen." ”

"Hello, Director Luo."

Chen Mingyuan returned the salute with a smile, due to the particularity of their respective positions, the two basically have no chance of contact on weekdays, at most they have met at the Standing Committee meeting, but they have heard a lot about the No. 1 secretary of the provincial government.

Governor Bai has been in charge of Dongjiang Province for ten years, Secretary Luo has followed him for ten years, his status and qualifications are far from being comparable to ordinary secretaries, and it seems to be influenced by Governor Bai, Luo Kai's style of action is quite low-key, and his personality is also very peaceful, and he has almost never heard of him blackening his face with others.

Otherwise, how to say what kind of secretary to choose, you can often see the characteristics of a leader, Governor Bai has always been upright and strict, Luo Kai can get his respect, and the two always have some similarities.

The two were greeting each other, when a man suddenly walked in, stunned, and said, "Hey, Secretary Chen." ”

Chen Mingyuan fixed his eyes and saw that it was Vice Governor Fang Tao, who had accompanied Ning Lizhong to the grassroots level before.

Because they have been together for some time, the relationship between the two is not bad.

"When did you come here?"

Fang Tao smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Chen Mingyuan.

Chen Mingyuan said truthfully: "Just now, Secretary Ning and Governor Bai are discussing work. ”

"That's right." Fang Tao smiled and said, "Then it seems that I can't see it, I originally wanted to communicate something with Governor Bai." ”

Luo Kai said with a smile: "Governor Fang will go back and wait for the meeting first, and when Governor Bai is free, I will call you." ”

"It's good that there's Director Lauro."

Fang Tao turned his head to Chen Mingyuan and said, "Seeing that you don't have anything to do now, why don't you go and sit with me for a while, anyway, when Secretary Ning comes out, Director Luo will inform you." ”

Fang Tao is a cadre that Ning Lizhong is courting, Chen Mingyuan naturally will not brush off his kindness to express his closeness, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Fang Tao's office was downstairs, and after the two said goodbye to Luo Kai, they both went downstairs.

"I've been working with Secretary Ning lately, I've been very busy, right?"

Fang Tao beckoned Chen Mingyuan to sit down on the sofa, asked the secretary to make two cups of tea, and asked with a smile.

Chen Mingyuan said: "I'm blindly busy, just listen to errands, Secretary Ning is really busy." ”

Fang Tao nodded and said, "Yes, Secretary Ning has a lot of opportunities, inside and out, there are a lot of things to worry about, if only there were more capable helpers around him, at least he could share the burden." ”

Of course, Chen Mingyuan would not be naïve enough to think that Fang Tao was just gossiping with him, and after hearing this, he knew that Fang Tao wanted to inquire about Ning Lizhong's attitude towards him from himself.

Fang Tao, Chen Mingyuan has actually done some understanding, is a determined cadre, and also has some ambition.

It's a pity that because Governor Bai has no idea of fighting for power and profit, which directly leads to the fact that the provincial government has been tepid in recent years, Fang Tao can't help but feel a little aggrieved that he has nowhere to go.

Although Fang Tao is the vice governor, he is not in the norm, and he is not in charge of too important work, and he has been depressed for so many years, seeing that Ning Lizhong is gradually gaining a firm foothold in the provincial party committee, and taking the opportunity of the inspection to throw an olive branch to himself, how can he not be moved.

"Everyone is doing their best for the cause of the party and the country, and it doesn't matter whether they help or not."

After being in the provincial party committee for a period of time, Chen Mingyuan's official tone became more and more sophisticated: "If you really want to subdivide, it should be said that it is the blessing of Secretary Ning and Dongjiang Province to have a few more talented talents like Governor Fang." ”

Fang Tao laughed loudly: "Secretary Xiao Chen, your praise is too explicit." ”

"I am from the bottom of my heart, why should Governor Fang be so humble." Chen Mingyuan said without blushing or panting: "Actually, Secretary Ning has also praised Governor Fang's work several times in private, and Secretary Ning can still grasp the overall macro situation, but when it comes to long-term implementation, it still needs to be checked by a leader in charge with outstanding ability like you." ”

Hearing this, Fang Tao's eyes instantly brightened a lot, although he couldn't fully believe Chen Mingyuan's words, but at least he could know that at this stage, Ning Lizhong still needed to rely on himself.

And this is precisely his chance to improve!

As the saying goes, it's easy to put icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow, this is undoubtedly the time when Ning Lizhong needs help the most, this kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will certainly be accompanied by risks, but Fang Tao knows that if the situation is completely clear, he will get nothing, instead of this, it is better to fight hard, but there is still a great chance to win a good future!

Looking at Chen Mingyuan's bright eyes again, Fang Tao secretly sighed, he thought that this secretary would only be favored by Ning Lizhong if he was lucky, but looking at his words and deeds, he was full of extraordinary wisdom and carefulness, and in a few words, he analyzed the situation thoroughly, reminding himself not to delay the best opportunity for progress.

"Chen Mingshu's kind reminder, I understand it."

Fang Tao said sincerely: "Please also ask Secretary Chen to tell Secretary Ning, where you can use it next, despite the instructions!" ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled knowingly.

He knew that Fang Tao was not wavering, it was only because he couldn't see the situation clearly that he couldn't make up his mind to follow Ning Lizhong for a long time, since this was the case, it was better to bluff and completely push Fang Tao to Ning Lizhong.

I hope that Governor Bai will also understand the benefits of these reform policies and stand up for it.

The two chatted again, and Fang Tao's secretary knocked on the door, walked in and said, "Governor, Director Wang of the Municipal Planning Bureau has arrived." ”

"I almost forgot that he was coming to report to work."

Fang Tao held his forehead and smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm sorry, Secretary Chen, I wanted to talk to you a few more words." ”

"It's okay, you are busy first, I should also go up and wait for Secretary Ning."

Chen Mingyuan got up, Fang Tao personally sent him out, pushed open the door, and saw a big meat ball standing outside, but it was Wang Jiansheng.

It's really fateful, these days, three days and two heads meet this guy.

"Hello, Governor Fang...... Ah......h

As soon as he saw Fang Tao, Director Wang immediately nodded his head, his face was full of smiles, and in an instant, all the smiles froze violently, as if they had been pierced by ten thousand arrows, and his eyes were as big as copper bells.

This, isn't this the kid I met in Jade Dragon Mountain!

Why is he here in Governor Fang?

Fang Tao didn't pay attention to his strange demeanor, nodded his head casually, and sent Chen Mingyuan out of the country with a smiling face: "Come and sit with me often when you have time, Secretary Chen." ”

"Definitely."

Chen Mingyuan politely said a few words, glanced at Director Wang, who was stunned, a touch of ridicule flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he walked out of the hall by himself.

The corners of Director Wang's mouth twitched, and a bad premonition instantly permeated his body.

Seeing Fang Tao's polite and enthusiastic attitude, Director Wang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked cautiously: "Governor Fang, ......who is this Secretary Chen?"

Fang Tao's attitude was a little colder, and said, "Oh, it's the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary Ning's full-time secretary." ”

Secretary Ning?

After a short period of confusion, Director Wang shook his head violently, and immediately realized the grandeur of Secretary Chen's background!

After making trouble for a long time, this person turned out to be the secretary of the provincial party secretary!

That's a big joke, isn't it?

Suddenly, there seemed to be 10,000 rhinoceros running hysterically in his heart, which shocked Director Wang almost collapsed, his blank head was completely stunned, and he was stunned on the spot like a stone statue, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down, and he didn't know how to wipe it.
