Bao Feiyang knew that Wang Yuewei wanted to be Fu Lao's escort on his southward journey this time, on the surface, Fu Lao's influence was mainly in the military circles, and his influence in the political circles was relatively limited, but Fu Lao had served for so many years, and his protégés and former officials were also all over the country, and there were many officials who had been cared for, promoted and influenced by Fu Lao, although they were in different camps and did not form an independent faction, they would still help each other when necessary.

If Wang Yuewei can accompany Fu Lao on his southward journey, he will undoubtedly have the opportunity to win over these people, and it will be easy to find a point of convergence between the two sides when he is with officials who also have Fu Lao's background in the future.

Bao Feiyang knew that Fu Lao meant to arrange at most one deputy secretary general, he thought for a while and said: "Governor Wang, in fact, I have already reported this matter to Fu Lao, Fu Lao feels that you, as the vice governor, have a lot of more important work to do, and his visit to Wanghai this time is just a private action, and you can't delay your work because of this." I can report to Fu Lao again, but I can only try to let you accompany him to Jiangbei, and when you arrive in Jiangbei, I dare not guarantee whether he will still allow you to continue to accompany him, at least in my opinion, it is very difficult. ”

"Okay, it's good to be able to accompany Fu Lao on this journey." Although Wang Yuewei was very unwilling in his heart, he also knew that Bao Feiyang was telling the truth. Fu Lao is a very stubborn person, otherwise there would not be this trip to the sea at all.

In the end, Fu Lao recognized Bao Feiyang's construction and agreed to let Wang Yuewei join the working group and accompany him to Wanghai County. In Jingcheng, Executive Vice Mayor Wang Jingshu also hoped that he would get the moon first, but Bao Feiyang helped Deputy Secretary Fan Jinlu say a few good words in front of Fu Lao. It happened that Fu Lao still had some impressions of Fan Jinlu, the former secretary of the county party committee of Wanghai County, and finally decided to let Fan Jinlu accompany him.

Fu Lao spent two days to prepare, and on the third day, he couldn't wait to board the train to Haizhou, and the carriage they took was a special train car, for this arrangement, Fu Lao did not strongly object, after all, all the entourages combined, almost have to occupy a small half of the carriage, and it will bring a lot of inconvenience to other passengers.

There is only one direct train from Yanjing to Haizhou every day, and the whole journey takes fifteen hours. Depart at 6 a.m. Arrive in Haizhou at 10 o'clock in the evening. Although the entourage was very nervous, Fu Lao was actually in a good state of mind, probably because he was about to return to the place where he had fought, and he seemed very excited. There is almost every station to the other. At least take a look at the door. Several of these stops also get off the train for a while.

When the train was running, Fu Lao often looked at the scenery outside through the window, as if he was patrolling the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the motherland.

Arrived in Haizhou. It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and according to the itinerary, they were going to stay in Haizhou for one night, and then take a car to Wanghai the next day.

Xue Shaohua, secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee, once served as Fu Lao's secretary, and when he knew that Fu Lao was going to go to Wanghai through Haizhou, Xue Shaohua was very happy and hoped that he could accompany him throughout the process, but let Fu Lao refute it back, and warned him not to engage in any reception activities when passing through Haizhou, Xue Shaohua knew Fu Lao's character, and really did not appear at the train station, but Lin Shuhui, deputy secretary general of the Jiangbei Provincial Party Committee, had rushed to Haizhou, and Haizhou had also arranged accommodation.

Fu Lao is indeed old, and he was too excited along the way, so he didn't rest much, and after staying in the hotel, he quickly fell asleep. However, Bao Feiyang and other accompanying personnel could not rest immediately, and there was a lot of work to be arranged for the next day's itinerary and local reception.

In the conference room specially prepared by the hotel, Wang Yuewei, vice governor of Jiangbei Province, Lin Shuhui, deputy secretary general of the provincial party committee, Xue Shaohua, member of the provincial party committee and secretary of the Haizhou municipal party committee, as well as several major leaders of Haizhou City, Fan Jinlu, deputy secretary of the Jingcheng Municipal Party Committee, Zhou Zhikai, secretary of the Wanghai County Party Committee, and several main responsible persons of the working group sat together, holding the itinerary for the next day and deliberating one by one.

Xue Shaohua, secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee, pointed to an item on the itinerary: "The road from Haizhou to Wanghai is in poor condition, and this section of the road is also fifty or sixty kilometers. ”

Vice Governor Wang Yuewei shook his head: "You mentioned this plan before, and we arranged it like this at first, but Fu Lao said that he wanted to take a walk on the spot and asked for a car, so it was changed to this later." ”

Xue Shaohua frowned: "I think this arrangement must be changed, everyone may not know much about the situation, after knowing that Fu Lao is coming, I and several comrades of the municipal party committee went on a trip on the spot, the road conditions of several roads here are too bad, twenty or thirty kilometers can be bearable, but from Haizhou city to the Guanhe River is about fifty or sixty kilometers, the road is very bumpy, we can't let Fu Lao suffer like this." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Ma Hong, the leader of the working group, said: "If the situation is really so strict, then we still have to try to persuade Fu Lao to change his plan." ”

Saying that, Ma Hong said again: "Feiyang County Magistrate, do you have a way?" ”

There is one deputy provincial level, three department levels, and several deputy department levels, and Bao Feiyang's lowest level is only the deputy department level. Everyone couldn't help but feel very strange when they saw Ma Hong open his mouth to ask Bao Feiyang.

Bao Feiyang looked at Xue Shaohua, secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee: "This, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, I guess the old man wants to see the traffic in Haizhou County with his own eyes." ”

Xue Shaohua couldn't help frowning, now there are rumors that the reason why Fu Lao wants to come to Wanghai is because of Bao Feiyang, and they don't know what Bao Feiyang said to Fu Lao. But looking at Bao Feiyang's age and position, I am afraid that he consciously persuaded Fu Lao to come to Wanghai in order to strive for more benefits for Wanghai.

Xue Shaohua said with a calm face: "County Magistrate Bao, I think you know very well the road conditions from Haizhou to Wanghai, I don't care what your purpose is, for the sake of Fu Lao's body, you must stop Fu Lao from taking the car to Wanghai." ”

Bao Feiyang actually didn't want Fu Lao to take the car, but he mentioned the traffic situation in Wanghai when he reported last time, so Fu Lao wanted to take the car to see the road conditions, and he did thank him a little. He thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll try my best to persuade Fu Lao to change the itinerary, but it's best for Secretary Xue to go to this matter." ”

"I'm going?" Xue Shaohua glared at Bao Feiyang dissatisfied, of course he wanted to go, but Fu Lao didn't want to see him, and he had no choice. Otherwise, how could he let Bao Feiyang instigate Fu Lao to mess around?

Bao Feiyang nodded: "I can't guarantee that I will be able to persuade Fu Lao not to take the car and take the boat instead, but I can guarantee that Fu Lao will be willing to see you." ”

"Seriously?" Xue Shaohua looked at Bao Feiyang and began to re-examine Bao Feiyang's status in Fu Lao's mind. This time the Fu family came to a third-generation Lu Yi, Xue Shaohua saw that Lu Yi and Bao Feiyang had a good relationship, and thought that Bao Feiyan could stay in the working group for this reason, but now it seems that Ma Hong asked for Bao Feiyang's opinion, but did not ask Lu Yi's opinion, and things may not be so simple.

Bao Feiyang said: "Of course, I heard that Secretary Xue used to be Fu Lao's old subordinate? ”

Xue Shaohua nodded: "Yes, Fu Lao has always been very strict with the people around him, if you can let me see Fu Lao, I will persuade Fu Lao to change the arrangement." ”

Next, everyone discussed some other arrangements, until they felt that there was nothing missing, and then they broke up to rest, and it was already the early morning of the next day.

Fu Lao rested well at night, and when he got up the next morning, he was full of energy and asked, "When are we leaving today?" ”

Everyone looked at Bao Feiyang, and Bao Feiyang said: "Old man, let's take a boat today, just to take a look at the scenery on both sides of the strait......"

Fu Lao frowned, looked at Bao Feiyang carefully, and then looked at the others: "What do you mean, didn't you say it all, let's take a car, I want to take a look at the traffic situation in Wanghai County." ”

Lu Yi also helped beside him: "Grandpa, if you want to see the traffic situation in Hai County, then we can take the car when we arrive in Wanghai County." ”

Fu Lao glared at Lu Yi: "What do you kid know, whether the traffic in a place is good or not, not only depends on the internal traffic, but also on the external traffic, and the external traffic is especially important, how can I do it if I don't see it with my own eyes?" ”

Lu Yi secretly stretched out his hands to Bao Feiyang, indicating that he could not do anything. Bao Feiyang handed a bowl of porridge to Fu Lao: "Old man, I know what you want to see, but some things don't have to be seen with your own eyes, you can just let someone who understands the situation report to you." ”

Fu Lao waved his hand: "The report is all good news and not bad news, I have to see it with my own eyes to rest assured." You don't let me see it, is the road really bad? ”

Bao Feiyang shook his head: "You should ask Haizhou people this question, Secretary Xue of Haizhou City is outside, you can ask him anything you want, I don't dare to talk nonsense, we will all point to Haizhou for the future development of Haizhou County!" ”

"Xue Shaohua is here?" Fu Lao stared at Bao Feiyang twice, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, you kid want to use me as a gunman again?" ”

Bao Feiyang hurriedly said: "How dare I, I just know what your old man thinks, and then help you find the easiest way." ”

Fu Lao waved his hand: "Okay, you kid is very cunning, then let the surnamed Xue come in, I think he is about to lose his memory of me, an old fellow." ”

Lu Yi looked at the old man, then at Bao Feiyang, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and shake it, he really didn't understand what Bao Feiyang and the old man were fighting, Bao Feiyang said a few words, so the old man changed his mind, and promised to meet Xue Shaohua, the old man was not going to meet the local officials in Haizhou.

When Xue Shaohua came in, Fu Lao was having breakfast, and he habitually wanted to help the old man serve porridge, but Fu Lao handed the porridge bowl to Bao Feiyang, then looked at him and asked, "I heard that you asked me to take the boat instead, why?" (To be continued......)
