Liu Zhengwen's current level is the same as Xu Lizhong's, both are at the department level, but he humbly said, "Get your reception", which made Xu Lizhong, who has always hated sloppiing horses, feel a little uncomfortable, frowned and said: "Minister Liu, I don't dare to accept two words." The two of us should be the same age, don't be so polite, and don't use the word 'you' in the address. Secretary Ye and I are very good friends, and when we work in the provincial party committee, we treat each other like brothers. So, I hope we're not too polite to each other, because that would be a bit of a separation, right? ”

Liu Zhengwen hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Director Xu is right." We are friends now, there is no need to be so polite and angry, I will definitely correct it! ”

Wang Xuewen pointed to a stool without a backrest next to Ye Ming and said, "Xiao Liu, you sit down first, let's talk for a few minutes and then go downstairs to eat." By the way, you have worked in Beishan for many years, so you are familiar with this place, so which hotel food you think is the most authentic Beishan flavor? Director Xu finally came to Beishan, and he wanted to eat some authentic Beishan flavors. ”

Liu Zhengwen replied without hesitation: "The most authentic local restaurant in Beishan is 'Zibin Restaurant', which is by the river, with good scenery and authentic taste. ”

"Okay, we'll go there and eat later."

After the four of them chatted for a few more minutes, Wang Xuewen suddenly said in a stammered manner: "Director Xu, Secretary Ye, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Xu Lizhong looked at him a few times, guessed what he wanted to say, and said: "Secretary Wang, let me guess what you want to say: Regarding Secretary Ye's sudden arrival in Beishan as the secretary of the county party committee, is there anyone in your municipal party committee team who has any views and opinions?" ”

Wang Xuewen nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, I heard some discussions, and some members of the municipal party committee team were puzzled by the decision of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, thinking that Secretary Ye was too young and might have shortcomings such as lack of experience, weak control, and insufficient macro decision-making ability, so he was a little worried." However, I firmly support this decision of my superiors, and I believe that the provincial party committee will never joke about the well-being of more than one million people in Beishan, and Secretary Ye will definitely have enough ability to take on the big responsibility. After I talked to Secretary Ye the day before yesterday, this confidence was even stronger. ”

In fact, among the leaders of the Min'an Municipal Party Committee who do not trust Ye Ming, Wang Xuewen himself is one, and he has complained to Wei Jiehe, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, many times that the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee played the piano indiscriminately, and arranged for such a young and junior person to come to Beishan to be the secretary of the county party committee, which was simply joking about the happiness of more than one million people in Beishan.

Therefore, he now took the initiative to mention that some of the leaders of the Min'an Municipal Party Committee were dissatisfied with Ye Ming's appointment, which was actually a strategy of "thieves shouting to catch thieves", on the one hand, he could make Xu Lizhong and Ye Ming wary of other leaders of the Municipal Party Committee, and prevent them from using Ye Ming's bridge to catch Xu Lizhong's line, on the other hand, he could also curry favor with Xu Lizhong and Ye Ming, and take the opportunity to clear himself......

Xu Lizhong listened to Wang Xuewen quietly, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and he said awe-inspiringly: "Secretary Wang, I can tell you clearly: Let Comrade Ye Ming go to Beishan to serve as the secretary of the county party committee, which was personally decided and arranged by the chief. Comrade Ye Ming has worked beside the chief for two years, and his work ability is very strong, and he has won the trust and trust of the chief. It's just that he doesn't like to show his face, and I usually deal with some things on the scene, and he is the hero behind the scenes, so the heads of many prefectures, cities and provincial organs are relatively unfamiliar with him. If some people think that Comrade Ye Ming is not up to the task, it is a very wrong prejudice. ”

When Wang Xuewen and Liu Zhengwen heard that Ye Ming was personally decided by Secretary Lu and arranged to serve in Beishan, they couldn't help but gasp, and they were secretly afraid in their hearts: fortunately, they haven't offended the celebrity around the secretary of the provincial party committee now, otherwise, I really don't know what unpredictable and terrible consequences will be......

Wang Xuewen calmed down and said to Xu Lizhong in a very grateful tone: "Director Xu, thank you for telling me these things honestly. You can rest assured, since Secretary Ye is the secretary of the county party committee hand-picked by Secretary Lu, his ability and conduct must be very high, and I will do my best to support Secretary Ye's work. If anyone in the municipal party committee doubts Secretary Ye's ability and qualifications, I will do my best to defend him. ”

Xu Lizhong nodded, and said: "Secretary Wang, Minister Liu, I treat you as friends, so I said the above things that should not be said, I hope you don't spread what I said, and don't mention the relationship between me and Secretary Ye to anyone else, just know it yourself." ”

Although he said this very seriously, in the ears of Wang Xuewen and Liu Zhengwen, it was a manifestation of treating them as their own people, and they couldn't help but be flattered, and quickly said that they would definitely keep in mind Director Xu's words and would not reveal half of them to the outside world.

Especially Wang Xuewen, seeing that Xu Lizhong did not treat himself and Liu Zhengwen as outsiders, he calmly revealed the intimate relationship between Ye Ming and Secretary Lu, and the excitement and excitement in his heart were indescribable.

It turned out that Wang Xuewen's backer in the past in the Provincial Party Committee was Xie Hongda, the former Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee. It's just that his relationship with Xie Hongda is very hidden, and few people know about it, and he never shows off this relationship in front of anyone, so even Xu Lizhong, who hates Xie Hongda, doesn't know that Wang Xuewen was picked up by Xie Hongda.

Two years ago, Xie Hongda suddenly collapsed and was arrested by review, Wang Xuewen was so scared that he lost sleep all night, worried that Xie Hongda confessed his bribery to the investigators. Fortunately, Xie Hongda did not truthfully confess all his bribery for the sake of mitigating his guilt, and Wang Xuewen was lucky to escape.

When Xie Hongda's turmoil passed, Wang Xuewen learned from the pain and made up his mind to get acquainted with the highest level of the provincial party committee, preferably Lu Zhiyao, secretary of the provincial party committee. Therefore, he deliberately asked for leave to go to the capital and visited Li Chaoyang, a college classmate who used to work beside Secretary Lu, and wanted to ask him to recommend himself to Secretary Lu.

However, Li Chaoyang knew Secretary Lu's personality and temper, and did not dare to directly match Wang Xuewen, but he was willing to introduce him to Xu Lizhong, the closest person to Secretary Lu, and let him make good friends with him, and said that as long as Xu Lizhong was willing to help, his goal could be achieved.

Therefore, for a period of time, Wang Xuewen has been struggling to find ways and ways to become friends with Xu Lizhong, but he has been suffering from no good solution. Unexpectedly, today Xu Lizhong actually took the initiative to find Beishan, and just said to himself that only close friends can say, just like dozing off and meeting a pillow, how can he not be ecstatic?

After repeatedly emphasizing to Xu Lizhong that he and Liu Zhengwen would not leak today's matter, Wang Xuewen stood up and said, "Director Xu, Secretary Ye, it's not too early, let's go to dinner first!" ”

At this moment, Ye Ming's mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he saw the caller ID, it was Chang Ying, the organization minister of the provincial party committee, who called.
