Chapter 11
Chen Xing has been very busy these days, and the main leaders of various districts (cities) and organs directly under the municipal government have visited him one after another, the new deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, deputy mayor, and acting mayor.
For this new young mayor, all behind the superficial respect, there is some contempt from the bottom of the heart, although Chen Xing's speech at the incumbency meeting a few days ago was quite wonderful, but it is one thing to be able to speak, and it is another thing to have the ability, before really seeing Chen Xing's 'means', most people are not optimistic about him, Nanzhou City is the base camp of the local faction, and Ge Jianming, secretary of the municipal party committee, has been operating here for four years, and he still has to be afraid of the local faction's forces, not to mention Chen Xing, a stunned young man who has just arrived.
A few years ago, Ge Jianming parachuted into Nanzhou City, which has caused a backlash from the local faction, that time, I don't know what agreement the provincial governor Shun Baolai and the provincial party secretary Fuyoujun finally reached, Shun Baolai came forward to appease the local faction, so that there is now a more harmonious situation, and now the mayor's throne, which is regarded as the bag of the local faction, has been lost again, for the localists who have always regarded Nanzhou as an absolute control of the region, the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor are not their own people, which is simply intolerable.
However, it cannot be denied that it is impossible for the localists to let two foreign cadres control Nanzhou City, and Chen Xing's appointment as mayor will not be less than the challenge faced by Ge Jianming when he parachuted into Nanzhou City a few years ago as secretary of the municipal party committee.
In the past few days, Chen Xing still found time to visit Chen Tongjin, the former secretary of the municipal party committee, and Jiang Guobin, who had just stepped down as mayor and was transferred to the provincial people's congress as director of the Environment and Resources Protection Committee.
Chen Tongjin has been idle at home, for Chen Xing's visit, Chen Tongjin's attitude is quite enthusiastic, but when Chen Xing and the other party talked about the development of Nanzhou City, Chen Tongjin's attitude has changed slightly, between the words, there is a vague insinuation of the current municipal party secretary Ge Jianming, and there is a great intention to test Chen Xing, Chen Xing smiled and did not speak, and quickly diverted the topic, Chen Tongjin thought that Ge Jianming had not achieved anything in Nanzhou City in recent years, and where could Chen Xing echo his words.
When visiting Jiang Guobin, Jiang Guobin's attitude was decent, not enthusiastic, and not to give Chen Xing a cold face, but he was similar to Chen Tongjin in that there was still some resistance to Chen Xing, a foreign cadre, especially Jiang Guobin, who was still excessive, and the person he liked was Executive Deputy Mayor Li Haocheng, when Jiang Guobin served as mayor, Li Haocheng was his deputy and was responsible for the standing work of the municipal government. The last Nanzhou Municipal Government was also considered to be the most harmonious and united government, and now that Chen Xing has arrived, the situation does not know what direction to develop.
Chen Xing visited these two former first-in-command and second-in-command of Nanzhou City, and also deeply felt the challenges he was about to face in the future, Nanzhou City, where local cadres have a strong sense of rejection of outsiders, and the political soil here has a deep relationship with its local culture and historical origins.
In addition to visiting these two people, the old cadres of the original Nanzhou City, Chen Xing also have to visit one by one, although there are elements of show, but they are all indispensable, although these people have been down, and there is still some influence, usually if you support you It's fine, but if you pull your back legs at the critical moment, it will also make people have a headache, but Chen Xing after visiting a few people, for these former old cadres will support their work has no extravagant hopes, as long as they don't jump out and blame, Chen Xing should be thankful, The situation in Nanzhou City is more complicated than he imagined.
"Mayor Chen." Secretary Deng Qingming walked into the office.
"Oh, Secretary Deng is here, what's the matter?" Chen Xing glanced up at Deng Qingming.
"Mayor Chen, there is a cocktail party at the Municipal Federation of Industry and Commerce tonight, and you are invited to attend." Deng Qingming put an invitation on Chen Xing's table.
"Okay, got it, you reply, and I'll go over in the evening." Chen Xing nodded, politics and business, politics and business, politics and business are inseparable from business, from another point of view, officialdom can also extend to shopping malls, Chen Xing also wants to meet these mainstream businessmen in Nanzhou City, as a city ruler, it is inevitable to deal with these people.
"Mayor Chen, what else do you command?" Secretary Deng Qingming stood respectfully in front of Chen Xing's desk, these days, he has gradually adapted to his new job and new role, undoubtedly, Deng Qingming is now a salted fish turned over, now walking on the road, those who see him, do not all have to respectfully call Deng Mi, colleagues in a department in the past, now they are also respectful to him, a mouthful of Brother Deng called Deng Qingming very comfortable in his heart, although he knows that he has not yet sat in the position of secretary, But the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in work and life in the past few days have made Deng Qingming realize the sweetness of power, and the top priority at the moment is to satisfy Chen Xing and sit firmly in the position of this secretary.
"It's nothing, you go get busy first." Chen Xing glanced at Deng Qingming, and continued to look down at Wen Jiàn, this is the relevant national economic data of Nanzhou City in recent years that the office has just sent, Chen Xing wants to understand the economic operation of Nanzhou City, he can only understand from these numbers first.
"By the way, you go and find out, whether Secretary Ge, Deputy Secretary Shen and Vice Mayor Li have gone in the evening." Chen Xing suddenly stopped Deng Qingming again.
"Okay, I'll call the Federation of Industry and Commerce right away and ask." Deng Qingming nodded.
After a short meeting, Deng Qingming turned back to Chen Xing's office, "Mayor, Secretary Ge, Deputy Secretary Shen and Vice Mayor Li will all go in the evening." ”
"Well, I know, you go out first, I'll call you if there's something."
Deng Qingming walked out, closed the office door with his hand, and looked at the slowly closing office door, Chen Xing raised his head, his brows furrowed slightly, Deng Qingming's work made him quite satisfied, a person who is very good at observing words and feelings, and can quickly understand his intentions, but after all, he was not chosen by himself, no matter how good he did, Chen Xing always had a pimple in his heart.
Put Deng Qingming's matter aside for the time being, this is just a trivial matter for Chen Xing at present, there are many problems waiting for him, as he secretly understands the situation in Nanzhou City in the past few days, Chen Xing also clearly realizes that the environment he is facing is much more complicated than before, and in terms of the situation he is in now, it is not very good.
First, Chen Xing does not understand the personality of Ge Jianming, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Ge Jianming has been operating in Nanzhou City for several years, and whether the local forces are in a relatively balanced situation, and whether his arrival can break this balance, Chen Xing has no way of knowing, and he does not know what kind of attitude Ge Jianming has, and in addition to Ge Jianming, Shen Lingyue, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Li Haocheng, executive deputy mayor, both of whom are leaders among the local cadres in Nanzhou City, although Chen Xing has not dealt with the two too much at the moment, But it is also foreseeable that the future work will not necessarily be so easy.
Take Li Haocheng as an example, Chen Xing has only met with Li Haocheng once in the past few days, or he asked the secretary to invite Li Haocheng to come over and talk about the work of the municipal government in the name of work, otherwise Li Haocheng has no intention of taking the initiative to come to him, and the other party's posture has the posture of provoking him as a mayor.
Ge Jianming, Chen Xing can't figure it out for the time being, but the two sides should not stand in the opposite side, and Shen Lingyue and Li Haocheng, the two obviously don't welcome him, the new acting mayor, Chen Xing has also heard in the past few days, Shen Lingyue and Li Haocheng are popular candidates for mayor, he came, it is tantamount to robbing the hope of the two, and the hostility of the two towards him can be imagined, it is said that Shen Lingyue and Li Haocheng should have gone to the airport to greet him on behalf of the municipal party committee and municipal government that day, but in the end only one Zhang Xinjun went, so to speak, Shen Lingyue and Li Haocheng had already shown hostility before he even arrived.
Let's not consider Shen Lingyue, the other party is the municipal party committee, Chen Xing's focus is on Li Haocheng, if Li Haocheng goes against him, for Chen Xing, a lot of work will not be easy to do, because Li Haocheng has worked in Nanzhou City for so many years, and he is the executive deputy mayor, assisting him in presiding over the daily work of the municipal government, such a person wants to artificially create obstacles for him, Chen Xing's work will be very difficult to carry out, at present, Li Haocheng, the executive deputy mayor, I am afraid that the prestige of Li Haocheng, the acting mayor in the municipal government, is still higher than his prestige in the municipal government. Chen Xing must change this situation.
Thinking of the past few days, when the heads of various departments directly under the municipal government and the main leaders of the following counties and districts came to visit, they seemed to be very respectful to him, but Chen Xing himself knew that those were all superficial, and he would not necessarily buy his account if the work was arranged.
"I've been busy these days, but I forgot to look for my old classmates." Chen Xing flipped through the phone book, and then thought of Zhang Ruoming's phone call from Xue Dabao a few days ago, Xue Dabao told him that Zhang Ruoming entered the Nanzhou Municipal Bureau of Statistics after graduation, and Chen Xing should also take time to sit with the other party, and from Zhang Ruoming's mouth, he may be able to learn some information he wants to know.
