The Lanjiang Prefectural Party Committee and the Administration Office work in a large courtyard, the pine and cypress in the courtyard are verdant, and the five-story office building has eaves and hanging legs, which is quite simple.

Lu Zheng's office is on the fourth floor, and at yesterday's meeting of the prefectural committee and ministry, Lu Zheng was appointed as a member of the Lanjiang prefectural party committee and deputy commissioner of the administrative office, in charge of foreign economic cooperation, foreign trade, foreign affairs, overseas Chinese affairs, ports, and cracking down on smuggling

Lu Zheng's attention was caught in a joint circular issued by the regional discipline inspection commission and the regional supervision office, in which it criticized the regional urban construction office for violating the rules on meeting receptions by using public funds to entertain tobacco, alcohol and souvenirs. The circular said that during the meeting of "rectifying the economic order of the construction industry and deepening the reform of the construction industry" held by the urban construction department last month, a banquet was held to entertain tobacco and alcohol, distribute souvenirs, watch movies, rent and watch videos, and spent a total of 39UU yuan in public funds. According to the principle of handling Document No. 15 (1989) issued by the Landi Dang Fa, the souvenirs and the tobacco and alcohol used in the banquet were paid by individuals for the meeting, and the Urban Construction Office was responsible for collecting them and handing them over to the treasury.

Lu Zheng watched silently, his expression was extremely complicated, perhaps, at this moment, he thought of the ups and downs in Wushan.

There was a soft knock on the office door.

Coming in was Wang Rongzhou, director of the office of the administrative department, a cadre in his 40s who wore a suit and tie.

When Wang Rongzhou entered the house, he habitually put a smile on his face: "Commissioner Lu, it's time for dinner, I'll take you to see the canteen, our canteen of the local committee, the food is okay, you can see if you can get used to eating, if you are not used to eating, Secretary Liu has explained, you can call the canteen to open a small stove in the future." ”

Lu Zheng is on temporary duty in Lanjiang, and the party organization relationship has been transferred, but the administrative relationship has entered the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and he can be regarded as a deputy director-general of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and a temporary post in the ministry, but Lu Zheng's temporary post is different from that of the ministry and commission, and he is really in charge of affairs, so Lu Zheng's position is very special.

Wang Rongzhou knows this, from Secretary Liu's point of view, he can not really treat Commissioner Lu as a local ministry, nor can he be regarded as a temporary training in the ministry, so in addition to showing concern from life, I feel that Secretary Liu also has a mentality of getting along with this Commissioner Lu on an equal footing.

This kind of emotion is also contagious to Wang Rongzhou, in the past, the Lanjiang Administration has not been down to the deputy department level to serve in the ministry, but in the eyes of Wang Rongzhou and other places in the ministry, it is just a guest, and it is not much with himself, as long as they maintain the respect they should have, then their likes and dislikes have no impact on their careers, and Lu Zheng obviously does not belong to this kind of ministry.

Lu Zheng looked up at the quartz clock on the wall, but no, before he knew it, it would be twelve o'clock soon.

"Rong Zhou, you are busy with you, I don't taboo it, you can eat anything, I'll go by myself later." Lu Zheng smiled and had a very kind attitude.

Before Wang Rongzhou could speak, there was another knock on the office door, and it was Zhang Baicheng, director of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Department of the Administration Department, who entered.

If you want to say that Zhang Baicheng only feels that he has been unlucky to get home for a while, what does Mr. Lu, the North Dipper, want to do? It was a headache to suddenly become the leader of the special office, after all, it is indispensable to deal with it in the future, who knows, after a few days of hard work, he has become his own leader again, what is the matter?

There are several tasks that need to be reported to the administrative office today, Zhang Baicheng has been grinding for a long time, but it is obviously not possible to escape, zuihou, so he had to come to Lu Zheng's office.

When Wang Rongzhou saw Zhang Baicheng coming in, he knew that there was work to discuss, so he walked out and gently closed the door.

Lu Zheng smiled and motioned for Zhang Baicheng to sit, but the more Lu Zheng didn't reveal anything, the more Zhang Baicheng felt that this person must be a honey-bellied sword, and he didn't know how many curves he would take, and he wouldn't know when he found a suitable opportunity to settle accounts with him.

However, it was useless to worry, so I could only try not to be caught by him. Zhang Baicheng sat on the sofa, opened the notebook in his hand, and said: "There are a few situations to report to you, the first is a letter from the Guobang Autonomous Government, asking if we can introduce our beef cattle breeds and raise them by them, and we will sign a contract to recycle beef." ”

Lu Zheng knows about beef cattle, the mountainous area of the Lanjiang region accounts for more than 80 percent of the entire region, and there are not a few grasslands and grassy mountains, and the region is promoting the development of mountain animal husbandry. It seems that the people of Guobang also hope to benefit from this policy.

Lu Zheng bowed slightly: "Let's study this with relevant departments." ”

Zhang Baicheng flipped through his notebook and said: "The second thing is that the Provincial Planning Commission has already set up a project to build a felt shoe factory project with an annual output of 500,000 pairs of felt shoes in our Lanjiang River, and the export contract originally signed with South Korea was unilaterally declared invalid by South Korean enterprises. ”

Lu Zheng nodded slightly, in fact, the cold winter of foreign trade in the Lanjiang region is only a microcosm of the entire republic, in the current international environment, the republic's foreign economic and trade has encountered the most severe test since the reform and opening up, and the world's most developed economies have united to impose extremely severe economic sanctions on the republic.

After Zhang Baicheng finished reporting his work, it was already half past twelve, and when Zhang Baicheng said goodbye and came out, he saw the door of the office, Du Xiaohu was glaring at him viciously, and he faintly heard Du Xiaohu muttering: "Deliberately, right?" Don't let people eat? ”

Zhang Baicheng's back immediately broke out with a white sweat, if Commissioner Lu was small-minded, then he would really become a non-biting person, but he really didn't mean it, but the ideological struggle took a long time, and he really didn't pay attention to the time.

After having dinner with Du Xiaohu in the canteen of the prefectural party committee compound, Lu Zheng asked Du Xiaohu to go back to the southern slope.

Du Xiaohu is not his personal bodyguard, but a special agent of the working group, no matter how reluctant he is, he can't ask him to stay with him all the time in Lanjiang, although he will go back to Nanpo tomorrow, and at the same time accept Deng Sankun's private invitation to go to Guobang as a guest.

In the afternoon, Wang guest called to confirm the itinerary to Guobang, Lu Zheng's visit is private in nature, so in principle, there is no arrangement for the working group to accompany the ministry, but for the sake of safety, Wang guest still proposed that it is best to be accompanied by Du Xiaohu.

In fact, he accepted Deng Sankun's invitation to go to Guobang to take a look at it, and the least thing he was worried about was safety, unless there was a particularly serious armed rebellion in Guobang, but if there was really such a rebellion, I was afraid that it would be useless to bring a guard squad to go, after all, if the disaster caused Xiao Wall, it would be difficult to prevent hidden arrows.

However, Lu Zheng still accepted the proposal of the guest Wang, and said with a smile: "Okay, then go with Huzi."

Guest Wang seemed to be relieved and said, "If you don't want to take Huzi, I will definitely find a way to go with you."

Lu Zheng laughed.

Between the ups and downs, it seems that his relationship with these old subordinates has become more intimate.

Guest Wang seemed to remember something again, and said: "By the way, a young lady named Junko Kagawa came to you and left her address, she now lives in room 309 of Nanpo Hotel, she said that there is nothing to do, she is here to travel." ”

Lu Zheng was slightly stunned, he picked up Kagawa Junzi at Nanzhou Airport that day, because of the sudden refugee incident, he had to rush back to Nanpo urgently, and then called Nanzhou Hotel, but Kagawa Junzi had already checked out and left a message, saying that she thought southern Yunnan was very beautiful, and she was going to take a look around.

But she didn't want to, a few days passed, and she went to the south slope.

Over there, the guest Wang said: "In the past two days, the telephone line of Nanpo Hotel has been repaired, if you have any message, I will inform her." ”

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "She is an old friend of mine, you go and say it, I will go back to Nanpo tomorrow and go to see her then." ”

There was a knock on the door outside the office, and Lu Zheng said hello to Wang and hung up the phone.

Coming in was Wang Rongzhou, the director of the administrative office, and behind him, a tall and thin young man followed.

Lu Zheng had already read the information of this young man, Xie Hongwen, the deputy section secretary of the secretarial section of the office of the Executive Department, Xie Hongwen, 28 years old this year, a native of Lanjiang and a university education.

Wang Rongzhou is very quick to do things, after Secretary Liu Xiaogan ordered, yesterday afternoon, he took the information of several young Yu Ministries to Lu Zheng to see, and chose a role similar to Lu Zheng's life secretary, in addition to official business, the main task is to take care of Lu Zheng's life, run errands for Lu Zheng and the like, because Lu Zheng is a foreigner and came to Lanjiang singlely, and someone must take care of his daily life.

The people selected by Wang Rongzhou were all promising young people in the eyes of the leaders, but at that time, Xie Hongwen's information was not among them.

Seeing that Lu Zheng looked at the personnel file he brought, and didn't seem to be very satisfied, Wang Rongzhou hesitated for a long time before recommending Xie Hongwen.

After reading a few articles published by Xie Hongwen on the internal reference, Lu Zheng immediately made a decision, and he was this young man.

Lu Zheng took a fancy to a particularly sharp article by Xie Hongwen, in which he talked about the responsibilities of the rulers, Xie Hongwen cited the words of the director of the Lanjiang District Civil Affairs Department, who talked about the superiority of the socialist system, taking a rural lady who was rescued by the civil affairs department to remove cataracts as an example, and said that if there was no government, her eye disease would not be cured, so the people should be grateful to us, the party and the government. Xie Hongwen asked rhetorically in the article, the eldest lady has worked hard all her life, but she has no money to treat her when she is old, so whose responsibility is this? Isn't it sad that our rulers are complacent about this, thinking that this is a favor we have for the masses of the people?

A few rhetorical questions made Lu Zheng like him at once.

However, seeing that Lu Zheng chose Xie Hongwen, Wang Rongzhou was vague, saying that this young man was originally the secretary of Sun Houtang, deputy secretary of the prefectural party committee and head of the organization department, but he didn't know weishenme, and Secretary Sun didn't use him later, and he had a very big opinion on him.

Lu Zheng naturally would not take the information revealed by Wang Rongzhou lightly, that night, he asked Huzi to inquire, it turned out that Xie Hongwen and Sun Houtang's son were classmates and good friends, but then I don't know how, the two turned their faces, and it was rumored that Sun Houtang's son used some means to pry away Xie Hongwen's childhood sweetheart for more than ten years, just last year, Sun Houtang's son and Xie Hongwen, the girlfriend of the past tense, held a wedding.

As a result, the relationship between Xie Hongwen and the Sun family deteriorated sharply, I heard that there was a big fight in the Sun family, Xie Hongwen gave Sun Houtang's son a slap, Secretary Sun blackened his face, and regarded Xie Hongwen as a thorn in his side.

The news that Huzi heard that Sun Houtang has a very high status in Lanjiang and is also famous for his black hands, and whoever offends him will definitely not be able to eat good fruits.

At this moment, Lu Zheng looked at the tall and thin young man in front of him, it seemed that Xie Hongwen was calm and quiet, and his eyes were also very clear, not like a short-tempered person.

pondered again, Wang Rongzhou should have a heart of pity, but he couldn't help this Xiao Xie, so he recommended him to himself, he was a ministry and commission, and Sun Houtang couldn't help himself no matter how much he called for wind and rain in Lanjiang.

Thinking about these things, Lu Zheng didn't say much, nodded at Xie Hongwen, pointed to the thick stack of documents on the coffee table, and said, "Help me sort out the cases that our foreign trade department has had to put on hold recently." As he spoke, he went back to writing the letter on his desk.

Wang Rongzhou patted Xie Hongwen on the shoulder, made a look, signaled him to be okay, and then turned around and walked out.

Xie Hongwen sat silently on the sofa, flipped through the thick documents, and slowly inspected them.

In the evening, after a busy day, Lu Zheng returned to the Lanjiang Hotel, and temporarily he lived in room 70 of the hotel, which is a business suite, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, you can see the night view of the Lanjiang River.

After washing, Lu Zheng called Xiang Dong, the vice president of Chengshun Trading Company, and said that he would go to Guobang tomorrow for a turn, and you can go with me, you can take this opportunity to establish a communication channel with the officials of the Guobang Autonomous Government, so that you can do border trade, so that you can be handy.

Xiang Dong agreed again and again.

In fact, if there are no special circumstances now, the upper echelons no longer encourage military aid to Guobang, and the Chengshun Trading Company will become dispensable, but from the perspective of the Big Dipper Group, the border trading company that has just been established cannot be abolished, so in a short period of time, it seems that Chengshun Trading really has to do business seriously with Guobang, fortunately, in Guobang, there are jade minerals, and business must be done, but it deviates from the original concept.

Hung up the phone to the east, Lu Zheng felt a little sorry for him, he is now inspired by himself, he must be ambitious to have a career, but he doesn't want to, there will always be a huge gap between ideals and reality.

While pondering, someone rang the doorbell outside, and Lu Zheng went to open the door, but he was stunned, it was Sun Houtang, deputy secretary of the prefectural party committee and head of the organization department.

was introduced to shake hands at yesterday's Yu Ministry Conference, and the dinner was regarded as a reception banquet, and Secretary Sun was also present and chatted with himself, but despite this, after all, he had only known each other for a day, and it was such a relationship, I don't know what he had to do with him in private.

It can't be for Xie Hongwen, if you want to be able to get to this position, Sun Houtang's EQ will not be so low.

"I'm presumptuous, won't I bother you?" Sun Houtang was full of smiles, he was originally a big fat man, and his eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled on his face.

Lu Zheng smiled and said not to bother, let Sun Houtang in, and poured another glass of water.

Sun Houtang looked at the suite and sighed, "Alas, the conditions are more difficult, Commissioner Lu should take care of it." ”

In fact, Lanjiang Hotel has three stars, although it is not as good as the star-rated hotels in big cities, but if you say how poor the conditions are, it is also a lie.

Lu Zheng said with a smile: "It's very good, I'm thinking about renting a house and living in a hotel, it's too wasteful." ”

Sun Houtang smiled: "Isn't this an industry in our region? If you don't live here, it's also idle, that's a waste. Besides, you must often go to the border counties, I think it is most suitable to live in a hotel, that is, the environment of our old local committee guest house is not very good, I see that the hotels in the Special Economic Zone and Beijing are all splendid. ”

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Outside the gold and jade, the conditions inside are almost the same. ”

Sun Houtang said with a smile: "This is also true, I went to Beijing to see Xiaolin a while ago, and I was a dog, and the hotel I stayed in was the same as you said, the outside was glamorous, and the inside was like that." ”

Lu Zheng sighed and asked, "It turns out that Ling Gongzi is in Beijing?" In fact, Huzi had already inquired about it, Sun Houtang's son's name was Sun Linlin, and he worked in the European Department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.

Sun Houtang said: "Yes, he has a system with Commissioner Lu, he is in the European Division, this kid is not a weapon, and he worries people all day long." He sighed, "Doesn't that mean that they have a place for a chief clerk?" His conditions are sufficient, but he doesn't know what the department leaders say about him. ”

Lu Zheng nodded slightly, and said: "The mother of the child is worried, and the parents are just the heart that can't be finished." "Now I finally understand what Sun Houtang is doing when he comes to me, and I think that his relationship is not within the reach of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, so I want to probe my own tone to see if there is any way.

Things should be very urgent, otherwise, if you want to ask yourself to get acquainted with the leaders of the division, you must gradually contact yourself, how can you only know yesterday, and you will come to the door today.

pondering, Lu Zheng said: "Secretary Sun, I won't tell you, don't look at me as the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, but my relationship is transferred in the past few days, if I still know a few leaders of these departments and bureaus of the Foreign Aid Department, I am really not very familiar with it." ”

Lu Zheng is not shirking, after all, Sun Houtang has no friendship with him, and if he wants to say it, he has to open his mouth with Feng Lianying, but who knows what the relationship between Feng Lianying and the leaders of relevant departments and bureaus is? Selling such a big favor across the old man, for a person he doesn't know, it's not worth it.

What's more, when it comes to the promotion of the Ministry, I don't know how this Sun Linlin's character is, if it is from the appearance and rumors, it can make tricks to snatch away the girlfriend of his friend for many years, and it seems that his character is also very inferior, of course, the evaluation of a person cannot be so arbitrary, hearing is false, and seeing is believing.

Sun Houtang sighed deeply and said, "I also know this, Commissioner Lu, don't bother you." ”

Lu Zheng nodded slightly, got up, and sent Sun Houtang out.

Walking to the door, Sun Houtang hesitated, turned around and asked, "But for this matter, I still have to ask Comrade Commissioner to see if you can help me inquire?" ”

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll see if I can understand it from the side." ”

Sun Houtang thanked him again and again and walked out of the house.
