After talking to Ning Lizhong, Chen Mingyuan was led by Wang Lei to meet with the heads of various departments in the office.

At this time, the news that Chen Mingyuan was promoted from a small staff member of the cable station to the No. 1 secretary of the provincial party committee had already been widely spread in the compound of the provincial party committee, and naturally it inevitably set off a lot of sensation and heated discussions.

The reorganization of radio and television has just created a big upset, but within a few days, in the much-anticipated selection of new secretaries, a big dark horse has been killed.

Under the focus of many envious eyes, all kinds of information about Chen Mingyuan were quickly analyzed, no matter how big or small, but in addition to serving as the person in charge of the club project, his resume almost did not see the slightest bright spot, which really made many people puzzled, and regardless of age, qualifications or identity, at first glance, it was impossible to match the conditions of the secretary of the provincial party committee. Or is there any ulterior relationship background?

But no matter how many rumors and doubts and speculations lock on Chen Mingyuan, they still can't change the fact that this little-known young man jumped into the dragon gate.

As we all know, the secretary of the provincial party committee boss has gained far more than the glory and halo during his performance, and more importantly, those hot invisible authority!

In view of this, doubts are questioned, but the attitude of the leaders of the small hill in the general office towards Chen Mingyuan is still quite polite, they are all far away without hatred and no resentment in the near future, naturally they can try to make friends without offending, you must know that people will always be with the secretary of the provincial party committee in the future, and in the future, a casual sentence in front of the leader will be worthy of the pet of these people below!

Chen Mingyuan did not get too carried away, and always maintained a humble attitude and knew everyone one by one, and his polite attitude won the favor of many people.

Subsequently, when Wang Lei took him to the secretariat, there were very few people here, only a few comprehensive secretaries and text secretaries, although Chen Mingyuan was about to have a desk here, but like all the leaders' personal secretaries, he was basically not likely to work here on weekdays.

It just so happened that Kang Maohui, deputy director of the General Office, was also there, and during the introduction, Chen Mingyuan caught a little coldness from the old boy's expression, and it seemed that he was not very welcome.

After thinking about it, Chen Mingyuan was relieved.

It is rumored that Ning Lizhong and Ji Mingtang, the core figure of the local faction, have never dealt with each other, so the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee is actually divided into two factions, Song Yang is naturally close to Ning Lizhong, and this Kang Maohui should obviously belong to Ji Mingtang's faction.

After the two exchanged a few words without smiling, Wang Lei made a phone call, and after a while, a middle-aged man in his forties came in, with a simple face, tall and burly, and after introduction, this was Secretary Ning's driver Fan Jiang.

Taking advantage of the handshake, Chen Mingyuan heard him speak with a northeast accent, and immediately guessed that Fan Jiang, like Wang Lei, was Ning Lizhong's cronies brought down from the capital ministries and commissions.

In the early days of reform and opening up, the transfer and promotion of officials often took away a bunch of people, not to mention drivers and secretaries, and even the cleaners were eager to take them away.

Nowadays, under the initiative of the central government's three repetitions and five orders, this kind of phenomenon has gradually converged, but due to different situations, the phenomenon of bringing secretaries and drivers to other places still occurs from time to time.

Like Dongjiang Province, due to the strong dominance of the local faction, it is often the dragon that crosses the river and cannot fight the head snake, from the provincial level to the municipal level, many high-ranking officials are parachuted, because it is difficult to control the power and situation, most of them have fallen into the dilemma of losing the wheat city, Ning Lizhong obviously knows this, and is worried that he will be surrounded and surrounded by local interest groups alone, so in the early days of his tenure, he still brought Wang Lei and Fan Jiang down under pressure.

In the final analysis, the secretary and the driver are equivalent to the leader's right-hand man, and the leader gets along day and night all day long.

A few people talked, and Wang Lei led Chen Mingyuan around several other offices.

"Don't pay attention to him, he is so virtuous, when I came, he put on a stinky face, as if I owed him a debt for eight lifetimes."

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Wang Lei snorted disdainfully, obviously alluding to Kang Maohui: "You should also pay attention in the future, don't get too close to him, him...... It's closer to Secretary Ji's side. ”

After hesitating, Wang Lei lowered his voice and revealed some clues.

"In short, Secretary Ning is not familiar with the life in this place, and there are not many people who can be trusted, after I leave, you should be more leisurely, don't accidentally get on the road."

Wang Lei said face-to-face: "If you encounter something that you can't understand, you can ask Lao Fan, he has been with Secretary Ning for many years, he is loyal and absolutely reliable." ”

Chen Mingyuan's heart moved, and he heard the meaning of the strings, Wang Lei's words seemed to remind him to be cautious in the future, but at the same time, it also showed that Lao Fan's status in Secretary Ning's heart is still very high, far from the current self can be easily shaken, if he wants to have a place in Secretary Ning's heart, it is best to deal with the driver.

It seems that if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the compound of the provincial party committee, where the personnel relationship is more complex and delicate, he really needs to put a lot of effort into it.

Seeing that Wang Lei was so attentive to himself, Chen Mingyuan said with a sincere smile: "Thank you so much, Brother Wang, I will definitely remember your tips." ”

hinted that he would firmly remember his affection, and he would definitely repay the favor in the future!

Seeing him like this, Wang Lei suddenly smiled: "They are all for Secretary Ning, what else do you have to share with each other, I went to the field when I turned around, and you have to take care of it here." ”

He looked at the time again and said: "There is an unwritten rule in our general office, generally new comrades above the deputy department level come, and the hall will arrange a party to welcome you, and everyone will get to know each other, but your situation is a little special, and the New Year is coming in a few days, everyone is very busy, I'm afraid that we won't be able to get together, so just wait for Secretary Ning to go back, and Lao Fan and I will hold a small banquet for you at the reception desk." ”

To tell the truth, Wang Lei is still worried that Chen Mingyuan is young and inexperienced, and once he succeeds in his ambition, he is easy to be arrogant and complacent, and he is bewitched by those old fritters in the hall, so he should give him a cold treatment first, and take him to understand the situation in the hall first while he is still there.

I hope this kid won't poke out of the basket in a few days and implicate Secretary Ning, after all, he himself is also an outsider, and his future in Dongjiang Province in the future is closely related to Secretary Ning, and there is no room for mistakes!

Chen Mingyuan naturally understood his intentions, after all, they were not familiar with each other, and it was normal to be cautious: "How did I first arrive, I have received so much care from Brother Wang, how dare I let you break the bank, and Brother Wang, aren't you going to be promoted outside, it is right for me to invite you to drink and practice wine, by the way, I still have a lot of questions to ask you, so I should talk about some thoughts." ”

Wang Lei listened very well, and imperceptibly, he had a good impression of Chen Mingyuan, pretended to refuse a few times, and then he was very warm.

At this moment, Chen Mingyuan's mobile phone suddenly rang, it was an unfamiliar number, and when he picked it up, Zhu Sijin's voice came: "Xiao Chen, are you still in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee?" ”

Stunned, Chen Mingyuan smiled dumbly, it seems that the news of his transfer to the No. 1 secretary of the provincial party committee has spread all over the old club, and it is no wonder that the general office wants to turn over his personnel relations, as the director of the office of the original line station, Zhu Sijin's news will naturally be faster.

In the past, the two didn't have much friendship at the cable station, but at this moment, the tone of the former leader was indescribably affectionate: "That's the case, we have received the notice of your transfer, congratulations, Comrade Mingyuan, you have been promoted, so I discussed with Director Guan and them, and I want to hold a celebration banquet for you tonight, what do you think?" ”

With Chen Mingyuan's understanding of Guan Congyun, he would not be able to do such an inferior thing, and nine out of ten was Zhu Sijin's good idea, so he said: "I'm afraid I won't have time tonight, there are too many affairs to take over, and when I get used to it, I will invite you and Guan Taichang to get together again a year ago." ”

Zhu Sijin was a little unhappy, but how dare he have a slight complaint to the secretary of the provincial party committee at this moment, so he had to agree with a smile and compliment again.

Seeing his helplessness, Wang Lei smiled and said: "If it's not someone who has a good relationship, don't answer it yet, I estimate that from now until the New Year, your phone calls will probably be difficult to stop, and you can deal with the past one by one, how can you eat with one mouth and two ears, and there must be a lot of them that you don't know at all, so many relationships and favors, it's not easy to deal with." ”

"By the way, you still live in the staff dormitory of radio and television, right?"

Wang Lei asked suddenly, seeing that the other party nodded, frowned, and said: "Take advantage of the working time, there is no one in the dormitory, I will let Lao Fan send you, you quickly pack up your things, go to the reception for a few days, and when you come back after the New Year, you don't want to live in the provincial staff apartment, or go outside to rent a house." ”

"Of course, my personal advice to you is that it is best to rent a house by yourself, quietly!"

Chen Mingyuan also thought of this.

If you go back to live in the dormitory, you will definitely be harassed by many parties, and you will be annoyed by many parties, and you have a special identity now, and you must pay careful attention to your words and deeds.

Therefore, it is not very suitable to move to the provincial staff apartment, which is a miniature version of the provincial party committee compound, as Wang Lei suggested, finding a house outside to live alone can save a lot of trouble and trouble.

Thinking of this, Chen Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it seems that with the rise of his status, there will be more and more things that he can't help himself.
