Chapter 41: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions
The provincial party committee and the provincial government are separated by only one road, and the environment of the provincial party committee is very quiet compared to the imposing buildings of the provincial government, and when viewed from the gate, all the buildings are lost in the lush trees.
After the confirmation of the armed police guard at the gate, the Ford sedan smoothly drove into the compound of the provincial party committee, and when the car stopped in front of the Propaganda Department building, Guan Congyun told Lao Liang to wait in the car, and then led Chen Mingyuan into it.
This trip received a temporary notice to the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and even Guan Congyun himself was quite surprised.
When the phone was at lunch, Li Liqun, executive deputy director of the Propaganda Department, called, bluntly saying that the report he had made last time had been preliminarily approved by the ministry, and asked him to prepare materials to report and explain.
Guan Congyun was overjoyed, he thought that the plan for the club would be shelved for a while due to the appointment of the new Minister of Propaganda and the mass incident in Zhonghai, but he didn't expect that after just over a week, things would take a new turn, but this joy also caught him off guard, especially the key person Chen Mingyuan asked for leave to return to his hometown, and in desperation, he planned to pull Sun Heping to the appointment.
Just looking at Sun Heping's embarrassed look, Guan Congyun knew that this guy was not very reliable, for fear that he would come out of the basket, but fortunately, Chen Mingyuan returned in time to solve the problem.
There is no need to be driven to the shelves, Sun Heping also breathed a sigh of relief, although it is glorious to show his face in front of the provincial leaders, but compared to the risk of messing up, he would rather choose not to seek merit but to seek no fault.
Anyway, as long as the club can be done smoothly, his share of credit is indispensable, not to mention, now that the Propaganda Department is undergoing major personnel changes, it remains to be said whether the plan can be passed.
Regarding this, Guan Congyun also considered that the new minister Shang Wenbin had just taken office, and it stands to reason that there would be a smooth transition for a period of time, but he didn't expect that he would act so quickly, and the first target was still in his own station.
In the final analysis, what he cares about most is Shang Wenbin's attitude, if he is like himself, enterprising, pioneering and innovative, it is okay to say, but if he is as pedantic and old-fashioned as the former minister, then the situation of himself and the cable station will still not be better, and it may even worse!
After all, at the age of Shang Wenbin in his early forties, he can be ranked among the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and it is destined that for a long time to come, the propaganda will be controlled by him.
Figuring out the intention has always been the primary rule of officialdom, but now even the current leader's mind is not sure, so it is no wonder that Guan Congyun and Sun Heping are hesitant.
It's just that the misfortune can't be avoided, but I hope the new minister just wants to take advantage of this move to establish a little prestige!
After putting aside the chaotic thoughts, Guan Congyun led people straight to the top floor, and after talking to Chen Mingyuan on the way, he knocked on the office of the executive deputy minister.
"Please come in."
Executive Deputy Minister Li Liqun is an old man, with a Mediterranean bald hairstyle on his head, a thin physique, and a fair complexion.
"I'm busy, Minister Li."
Seeing his direct superior, Guan Congyun suddenly let go of his usual majestic posture.
Li Liqun smiled and pointed to the position in front of the table, it seemed that he was quite familiar with Guan Congyun, "I thought I would have to wait for a while, but I didn't expect you to be efficient enough." ”
"The leader can summon me in his busy schedule, and I can't run here with oil on the soles of my feet."
Guan Congyun sat down in a regular manner, although the two have known each other for a long time, but after all, it is a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and they will never be bold enough to make mistakes.
The hierarchical rules of officialdom have always been clear!
Chen Mingyuan naturally understood this, and chose to stand behind Guan Congyun's side, and at the same time politely saluted Li Liqun.
Li Liqun raised his eyebrows and teased: "I'm here, and I brought a little follower, and I look like I'm pretty good." ”
"Let me introduce you, this is a staff member of the advertising department of my station, named Chen Mingyuan." Guan Congyun said with a smile: "Minister Li doesn't think he is young, this kid has a solid level in both theory and practice, a high-achieving student from the Department of Economics of Dongjiang University, and he is also well-informed. ”
"Isn't this Minister Li wanting to hear a report on the specific plan, I, the officer sitting behind the scenes, can only tell you some colorful words at most, if I really want to fully understand the actual situation, I have to let this soldier on the front line come out."
Guan Congyun is old and sophisticated, and deliberately speaks vividly and humorously, but he just wants to make the atmosphere as relaxed as possible, so as not to make Chen Mingyuan too nervous, and at the same time make Li Liqun too difficult.
Sure enough, when Li Liqun heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "You Guan Congyun, it's really getting more and more slippery!" ”
He looked at Chen Mingyuan again and asked, "Little comrade, is it really up to you to improve the guest house this time?" ”
Chen Mingyuan pondered for a moment and replied: "I can't talk about the main thing, I am young and inexperienced, so I rely on a momentum to do things, and the ideas and plans are still checked by the director of Guan and other Taiwan leaders, and it is also thanks to the trust of the Taiwan leaders in me and the courage to use new people, I have this once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity." ”
Li Liqun smiled dumbly: "What kind of officer brings out what kind of general, the same flamboyant tongue!" ”
"But when it comes to meritocracy, I believe it very much, if you hadn't turned off the stage and boldly used Sun Heping and these people after you took office, your cable station would not have reversed the benefits so quickly, and the annual income generation is in the forefront of the province!"
The latter sentence is still somewhat true.
The province's evaluation of Guan Congyun has always been mixed, some people say that he understands righteousness, selflessness, as long as it is helpful to the development of the cable station, no matter the black cat or white cat he dares to use, a short period of time to promote Sun Heping these business experts, activate the benefits of the cable station is the proof of ironclad; However, some people criticized his behavior as a cover for eradicating dissidents and cronyism, sending the old people in the station to idle jobs, and installing his own henchmen in important departments, just to make the cable station his hall!
Li Liqun has been in the Propaganda Department for several years, and when he receives a report against Guan Congyun, he can fill a bag of documents, embezzlement of public funds, oppression of subordinates, unspoken rules of female hostess, and all kinds of heinous accusations abound.
After several inspections and secret visits, it was verified that they were all false malicious slander, and Li Liqun and others did not bother to investigate further, after all, the achievements of the cable station were there, and this credit could not be erased!
But he doesn't mind, it doesn't mean that everyone won't have ideas, for example, the former propaganda minister's impression of Guan Congyun is getting worse and worse because of this, and in addition, he is not interested in Guan Congyun's large-scale commercial operation, and he has criticized certain media units on different occasions for promoting unhealthy tendencies.
Fortunately, Guan Congyun survived until those ministers took a back seat.
Guan Congyun is also emotional, at present, the construction plan of the club is even more concerned, it can be said that whether the plan can be successfully implemented this time, it can basically be seen that the future Propaganda Department and the new minister's attitude towards himself and the cable station.
In other words, it's a trick to ask for directions.
"The cable station can have such a good situation now, in the final analysis, it is still inseparable from the strong support of the provincial leaders and Minister Li."
"Don't be so full of beautiful words, whether your plan can be done this time is not just past me."
Li Liqun restrained his smile, poked the materials on the table with his fingers, and said: "I have read all the materials you handed over, the concepts and ideas are still very novel, and most of the leaders in the ministry are still very interested in actively exploring the laws of the market and avoiding the loss of state-owned assets. ”
"Please give me instructions."
Guan Congyun immediately straightened his posture and demeanor, and at the same time handed Chen Mingyuan an encouraging look.
Fortunately, the process was quite calm, Li Liqun did not mean to be embarrassed, but just raised some targeted questions, Chen Mingyuan was also calm and calm, his answers were concise and clear, and he could point to the key point in every sentence, which made Li Liqun very satisfied, and then looked at Chen Mingyuan's gaze, which was not as disapproving as just now, and even a little more surprised and surprised.
At the end of the inquiry, Li Liqun tapped on the table, his eyes flickered, and he muttered: "It can be seen that you have made a very detailed plan, but there is no such precedent in the province so far, whether it can be achieved or not, we have to negotiate and study it again, and see Minister Shang's opinions......"
Guan Congyun was a little disappointed and angry, looking at this, Li Liqun was obviously unwilling to express his support, since this is the case, why bother asking!
But no matter how angry he was, he didn't have to say anything, and he had to smile and ask the leader to criticize and instruct more, looking at Li Liqun's cunning gaze, he knew that he would inevitably give some filial piety benefits when he turned back.
Most of the leaders of these small hills are the masters of the group who don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle, and you are not enough to become and more than you to lose!
Seeing that the other party was willing to know each other, Li Liqun felt comfortable.
Now that the position of the minister has changed course, although he is disappointed that he has not been able to go to the next level, he also understands that Shang Wenbin's qualifications and background are far from being comparable to himself, so he should be his second-in-command honestly for the time being, and first understand the temperament and characteristics of the new minister thoroughly.
On the one hand, he is waiting for the news above to see if there is any change in the country's policy on the reform of state-owned enterprises, and on the other hand, he naturally wants to take the opportunity to get more benefits!
Just as he wanted to grind again, the landline suddenly sounded, Li Liqun picked it up and listened to a few words, his face suddenly froze, "It's so good...... I'm going to take someone there......"
After hanging up the phone, Li Liqun looked at the two of them with a complicated face, and said in a low voice: "Minister Shang is back, I want to talk to you about the guest house, come with me." ”
