Chen Xing's dormitory in the compound of the municipal party committee is not a few steps away from the residence of Ge Jianming, secretary of the municipal party committee, and the two houses are only 50 or 60 meters apart. At the end of the dinner in the evening, Chen Xing asked Zhang Ruoming to act as a tour guide, and took Huang Ming, He Li, and Chu Rong to the city first, while he returned to the first to come back, and tonight, he planned to visit Ge Jianming.

Building No. 1 of the Municipal Party Committee compound is Ge Jianming's residence, Chen Xing walked here alone, took a deep breath, and stepped forward to knock on the door.

Ge Jianming was a little surprised when he saw Chen Xing coming, and even a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, which was quickly covered up by him, and warmly invited Chen Xing to sit down, "Chen Xing, I have already asked you to come and sit with me, anyway, there are not a few steps, you see that you only came today, do you feel that you have no common language with me, a half-old man." ”

If his identity is not the mayor, and Ge Jianming is not the secretary of the municipal party committee, Chen Xing really thinks that Ge Jianming is like his elder, there is no need to explore whether Ge Jianming's enthusiasm is real or deliberate, Chen Xing also has a smile on his face, "Secretary Ge is busy with work during the day, and there are many socials at night, I am afraid that coming over will disturb your rest time, so I dare not take the liberty to come." ”

"This is Mayor Chen, he is really young, I think he is about the same age as our Xiaofen." In the living room, a middle-aged woman who was not young looked at Chen Xing and smiled.

"Secretary Ge, this is my sister-in-law." Chen Xing smiled and nodded at the middle-aged woman, who should be Ge Jianming's wife.

Seeing Ge Jianming nodded, Chen Xing smiled at the middle-aged woman, "Sister-in-law, if I come here so late, it won't affect your rest time." ”

"No, no, I still wish you came a few more times, I like people to talk, if Mayor Chen is free, he should come and sit often." The middle-aged woman laughed.

"Mayor Chen, you talk to our old Ge first, and I'll get you something to eat." The middle-aged woman glanced at her husband, got up and left, and Chen Xing didn't have time to say anything.

"Come, come, Chen Xing, drink tea." Ge Jianming greeted warmly.

"Secretary Ge didn't go out to socialize at night, and it was quite comfortable to watch TV at home with his sister-in-law." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"It's the most enjoyable thing to be at home." Ge Jianming smiled, "I, a half-old man, is no longer interested in those days of drinking, except for the entertainment that can't be pushed away, I still prefer to stay at home and read the newspaper news, which is much more comfortable than socializing outside, when I am old, my body is not good, I am not as young as you, I can play all night at night, and I can still be alive the next day." ”

"Secretary Ge laughed, you are still young, and it will be no problem to work for another twenty years." Chen Xing smiled in response to Ge Jianming's words, and was pondering the wording in his heart.

"It's not okay to work for another twenty years, when the time comes, it's time to be secretly scolded behind your back, saying that this old man won't come down if he occupies a position, blocking the way for others to advance." Ge Jianming smiled faintly, "I have to retire when I should retire, now some people are in love with power, and they are reluctant to retire when they reach the age of retirement, saying that they will continue to exert their residual heat in the second line, but in fact, they are not reluctant to have the power at hand, if I am old, I will not go to the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. ”

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Ge Jianming to have such sharp words when he talked about this issue in front of him, according to the organization's regulations, the retirement age at the vice provincial and ministerial level is 60 years old, that is to say, if you can't go up at the age of 60, then you have to take a back seat, Ge Jianming is 51 years old this year, among the deputy provincial cadres, relatively speaking, he is still young, but whether he can cross this hurdle at the vice provincial level in the future, it is not easy to say, after all, the provincial and ministerial level is not so easy to go.

"Chen Xing, you are in an important position at such a young age, work is important, but don't forget to relax, young people, a little entertainment life is a must, work is work, don't forget that you still have the right to play, you have to play, the combination of work and rest is the right work attitude." Ge Jianming changed his words and said with a smile.

"What Secretary Ge said is that only by combining work and rest can we do a better job, it seems that I have to learn from Secretary Ge." Chen Xing smiled and nodded, his heart was already ready to talk about things, looking at Ge Jianming with a leisurely face, Chen Xing thought to himself that the other party had already guessed that he had come to the door to have something to do, and was waiting for him to speak, after a pause, Chen Xing said, "Secretary Ge, I don't know if you have noticed the article in the evening newspaper." ”

"Which article?"

"It's the article about the property market policy published by Vice Mayor Li in the evening newspaper." Chen Xing glanced at Ge Jianming, the propaganda mouth was in the hands of Ge Jianming, the party secretary, and Chen Xing didn't believe that Ge Jianming would not pay attention.

"That's it, I've seen it, what's the matter, that's not the unanimous opinion of your city government?" Ge Jianming asked suspiciously, but he knew it in his heart, with Li Haocheng's dissatisfaction with Chen Xing now, I am afraid that he would not ask Chen Xing for anything first, but directly bypassed Chen Xing, Li Haocheng's article was going to be published in the evening newspaper, and Lin Wenfu, who was in charge of propaganda, asked him, it was Ge Jianming who nodded and allowed it, Ge Jianming's thoughts, only he understands.

"No, that's Vice Mayor Li's own thoughts, I don't know what Secretary Ge thinks about this?" Chen Xing said quietly.

"Chen Xing, this is your government's business, or is it up to you to make the decision, of course, if you have anything that needs to be cooperated, you can just say that I, the person in charge of the party committee, still fully supports your government's affairs." Ge Jianming said with a smile.

"Secretary Ge, Vice Mayor Li's plan is to be voted on by the Standing Committee, so it can't be said to be a matter of the municipal government, I don't know what Secretary Ge thinks of Vice Mayor Li's plan to stimulate the property market." Chen Xing secretly scolded the old fox, Ge Jianming's words just now are equal to not saying, and Ge Jianming's words just now are so generous that he let him make his own decisions, I am afraid that he will say this when he sees that a unified voice cannot be formed in the current city government, this is undoubtedly what Ge Jianming is willing to see, and I wish that the city government would be in chaos first.

"Chen Xing, what do you think of Vice Mayor Li's plan, the city government is in charge of you, I'd better listen to your opinions first." Ge Jianming smiled and kicked the ball back to Chen Xing.

"I don't agree with Vice Mayor Li's plan, and I don't think it's appropriate to introduce policies to stimulate the property market at present." Chen Xing said helplessly, if he didn't express his position, Ge Jianming would not express his opinion.

"Chen Xing, I see that you came to me tonight, not just to hear what I think of Vice Mayor Li's plan." Ge Jianming glanced at Chen Xing and said with a smile, hearing what Chen Xing said about Li Haocheng's plan, he finally knew what Chen Xing's real purpose was for coming to him tonight, and couldn't help but make him feel a little bit in control, Chen Xing, the new mayor, seemed to have a great background, but he still had to seek his support, this is what Ge Jianming is willing to see, pulling Chen Xing to his side is the goal that Ge Jianming wants to achieve, when Lin Wenfu asked him, he finally decided to let Li Haocheng's manuscript be published in the evening newspaper, There's this kind of mind in it.

"Chen Xing, if you have anything else to say, just say it together, let's not beat around the bush, we should support you, I, the party secretary, will definitely support you." Ge Jianming said happily at this time.

"Secretary Ge, your fiery eyes can see through all the thoughts in my heart." Chen Xing looked at Ge Jianming and complimented, and when it came to this, he no longer hid anything, "Secretary Ge, I came to get your support." ”

"How do you want me to support me?" Ge Jian asked knowingly.

"I don't really agree with Vice Mayor Li's plan, so I think that when I am on the Standing Committee, Secretary Zhou, can you ......?"

At nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Xing came out of Ge Jianming's house, and he and Ge Jianming also reached the agreement he wanted.

At 10 a.m. the next day, the office building of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee.

In a small conference room in the office building of the municipal party committee, a meeting of the standing committee of the municipal party committee is being held at this moment, at which the plan proposed by executive vice mayor Li Haocheng about the municipal government to introduce policies to stimulate the property market.

Li Haocheng put forward the reason for this plan is very simple, the real estate industry involves a lot of industries, the slump of the real estate industry has affected other related upstream and downstream industries, which has also affected the overall development of the economy of Nanzhou City, although the current economic development of Nanzhou City is still relatively stable, maintaining a growth rate of nine percent, but for a long time, the impact on the economic growth rate will slowly appear, if the municipal government does not take measures in time, it will definitely affect this year's economic growth, and a little more, The city's revenue has been greatly affected by the reduction in land transfer fees.

Other members of the Standing Committee quietly listened to Li Haocheng's statement on the necessity of introducing policies, but there was one thing Li Haocheng did not say, but others also knew in their hearts that the annual land revenue used for auction accounted for almost one-third of Nanzhou City's financial revenue, if the property market continues to be so sluggish, then developers out of caution and financial problems, sooner or later will be discouraged from land auctions, land can not be sold, or can not be sold at a high price, for Nanzhou City's finances, it is a huge loss, At least the obvious one-third of the fiscal revenue will be greatly reduced, the fiscal revenue will drop sharply, accompanied by a series of chain problems, infrastructure construction, municipal construction, investment in agriculture, agriculture, social security, financial support for Nanzhou City's weak industries, and so on.

All kinds of construction in the city need money, and some large projects that stimulate economic growth need huge funds, and if there is no sufficient financial guarantee, many things can only stay at the level of planning, and there is no way to really implement them. In recent years, with the rapid development of its own economy, Nanzhou City's annual fiscal revenue has been growing, and everyone also hopes that this kind of shape will continue to be maintained, at least this also shows that Nanzhou City's economic shape has been very good, which is a political achievement that can be done.

"Just now, Vice Mayor Li has explained the necessity of introducing this policy, what are your opinions?"

After Li Haocheng finished speaking, wearing his eyes, he had been looking at Li Haocheng's plan just now, and Ge Jianming, who had listened carefully to Li Haocheng's explanation, took off the glasses he was wearing, looked at everyone and said, and his eyes also glanced at Chen Xing unconsciously, he knew that several people here, I am afraid that except for Chen Xing, others will definitely not have any opinions, at least there will be no opinions before he or Chen Xing makes a statement, if they don't express their position, this plan will definitely be passed, After all, this account is clear to everyone.

Everyone is just like Ge Jianming thinks, you look at me, I look at you, everyone shook their heads, there was nothing to say, which was equivalent to indirectly acquiescing to Li Haocheng's plan, besides, Li Haocheng in Nanzhou City, in addition to having connections, also has great prestige, and no one wants to offend Li Haocheng by expressing negative opinions, at least before Ge Jianming makes a statement, no one will say anything, as for Chen Xing, he is ignored by most people.

Glancing around the conference room slightly, Li Haocheng seemed to be very satisfied with the situation at the scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as long as Ge Jianming did not object, this plan would definitely be able to pass, although Chen Xing had already told him before that he did not approve of his plan, but with the current Chen Xing, he could not compete with him, Chen Xing, the acting mayor, had no foundation in Nanzhou City.

Even though there are some centrists in the Standing Committee, they generally only talk about things and will not support him because of how Li Haocheng is doing, but he is also confident that those who usually remain neutral will also support his plan, from his point of view, his plan is based on the future development plan of Nanzhou City, and is considered for the long-term development of Nanzhou City, and those people have no reason not to support him. Everyone is still united.

"Mayor Chen, you are now the leader of the city government, how about you take a look at this plan?" Ge Jianming looked at Chen Xing and said with a smile, everyone didn't speak, so he had to order Chen Xing to speak.

"Ahem." Chen Xing didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, coughed slightly, and saw that everyone was already looking at him, Chen Xingcai said solemnly, "Since it was Secretary Ge who asked me to say it by name, then I will say it, and I will also explain here that my opinion is only for this plan, and there is no other meaning, I think whether it is supported or not for Vice Mayor Li Zhu's plan, the starting point of everyone here is the same, all for the development of Nanzhou City, and for the millions of people in Nanzhou City." ”

Chen Xing had to make such a statement before saying that, he didn't want to put himself on the opposite side of everyone, and he could see that Li Haocheng was very dissatisfied with him, the new acting mayor, and in the past few days, Li Haocheng's expression also explained this, although Li Haocheng did not have any obvious actions or remarks, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Haocheng was dissatisfied with Chen Xing, and Chen Xing said so in advance, just because he didn't want everyone to have any other speculation.

It's just that even if Chen Xing has made such a solemn statement, he can't let everyone really have no idea as he expects, this is the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, everyone here is a real power figure in the city, and the officialdom's deceit and the life-and-death power struggle have long made the officialdom lack real sunshine.

Chen Xing's statement made everyone vaguely hear a little taste, I'm afraid that the new acting mayor does not support Li Haocheng's plan, this is what Chen Xing thinks after the statement, everyone's thoughts, except for Ge Jianming and Li Haocheng, who already know what Chen Xing thinks, everyone else looked at Chen Xing, as if they wanted to confirm their guesses, and at the same time, everyone looked at Chen Xing with a little bit of joke.

At this time, Ge Jianming frowned, Chen Xing's words were undoubtedly three hundred taels of silver in his opinion, and even if Chen Xing was indeed just talking about things as he said in his statement, Ge Jianming believed this, but Ge Jianming felt that Chen Xing did not need to say it, so saying it was tantamount to showing weakness to Li Haocheng, Chen Xing, a mayor, had to declare that he was not expressing his opposition because he was against someone before expressing his opinion, what is this? What does this make others think? This is tantamount to making people feel that Chen Xing, the mayor, is a nest and a weaker, which is tantamount to inadvertently highlighting Li Haocheng's status.

Although Ge Jianming had an appointment with Chen Xing in advance this time, he would support Chen Xing's opinion, but seeing Chen Xing's expression at this time, Ge Jianming was slightly worried in his heart, Chen Xing came to the high position of mayor at such a young age, does he have the ability to be competent for this position? Adou, who can't be helped, is useless even if there are more people to support him.

Ge Jianming is a little worried that Chen Xing, the mayor, will become an ornament in the future, and he will not be able to deal with the experienced Li Haocheng, which Ge Jianming does not want to see, he hopes to use Chen Xing to balance Li Haocheng in his heart, and push Chen Xing out to become a sharp blade against the local faction, so Ge Jianming is currently giving Chen Xing some support in some kind of Cheng Dù, but if Chen Xing is very unbearable, then his hard work will really be in vain, and it will be even more detrimental to his plan.

"What I want to say is that I don't agree with Vice Mayor Li's plan." This is the first time since Chen Xing arrived in Nanzhou to participate in the Standing Committee to discuss the decision of the municipal government, and this decision is still opposed by him, therefore, Chen Xing at this time is very cautious, if he does not feel that the current introduction of this plan is not appropriate, he does not want to hold the right opinion, because in this way, it will make Li Haocheng feel that he, the new acting mayor, wants to give him, the veteran of the original city government, a dismissal.

Chen Xing's words did not surprise everyone, the speculation in everyone's hearts was confirmed, but they set their eyes on Li Haocheng, Chen Xing, the current nominal leader of the municipal government, expressed his opposition, what will be the reaction of Li Haocheng, the second-in-command?

"It's normal for some people to oppose the plan, so that the plan can be continuously improved." Li Haocheng said with a smile.

Chen Xing listened quietly, Li Haocheng seemed to deliberately misinterpret the meaning of his words, looked at Li Haocheng with a smile, Chen Xing was not angry, "Vice Mayor Li, I don't think your plan is perfect, I think your plan is not suitable for introduction, although there is no red-headed text on it now, but everyone knows the meaning of the above, and I don't want the local government to introduce some policies privately, even if it is a side game, I personally think it is not appropriate, at least this time is not appropriate, we don't need to go against the top, In the big picture, we have to be consistent with the above meaning, and it is absolutely necessary. ”

"I understand what Mayor Chen means, but aside from the financial revenue of our municipal government, the property market is sluggish, and at the same time it has led to the depression of other industries related to real estate, this series of reactions will affect the overall economic development of Nanzhou City, I think everyone does not want to see the economic downturn of Nanzhou City, not to mention, playing side balls, it is not our family that is just doing." Li Haocheng retorted in a high-sounding voice.

"Although we are not necessarily the only ones who will do it, I don't think we need to learn from others, why do others want to play side ball, we also have to do it, we Nanzhou City also has its own actual situation, we should look at the problem in combination with the actual situation of our Nanzhou City, not to mention whether this policy will be allowed by the above, we Nanzhou City currently need such a policy is not necessarily."

Li Haocheng's plan was not passed at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee in the end, which was really much beyond Li Hao's expectations, I thought that the victory was in my hands, but I didn't expect that in the end Ge Jianming would turn to support Chen Xing's opinion, because there was no warning in advance, which caught Li Haocheng a little off guard, and Chen Xing's attitude was extremely resolute, so that the original two or three members of the Standing Committee who remained neutral abstained from voting, making it clear that both sides should not be offended, so when it came to the final vote, Li Haocheng's plan failed to pass.

After the vote, at the last moment of the Standing Committee, Li Haocheng has been smiling strongly, squeezing out a smile on his stiff face, this failure made him very unwilling, but he didn't want to show his loss of grace in front of everyone, so he insisted on letting himself sit until the end with a smile.

Leaving the conference room and walking into his office, Li Haocheng's face finally darkened, in the office, Li Haocheng's secretary was helping him pack up the information, Li Haocheng waved his hand at Jiang Jin, signaling him to go out first, no need to clean up. At this moment, Li Haocheng was in a very bad mood, he just wanted to think quietly by himself for a while.
