Chapter 246: Meet the Secretary
The investment promotion meeting originally scheduled to be held in the morning of the next rì in the province was about to leave the hotel, when Meng Jinxing and the others were about to leave the hotel, Weng Canhui suddenly received a notice and postponed it to the afternoon for some reason.
Meng Jinxing took advantage of this free time to go back to his parents' house to get a change of clothes, and then went to the party school to go through the relevant admission procedures, and then went to the dormitory to confirm the bunk to place daily necessities.
During this period, he received calls from Chu Yuan and Cao Ping respectively, all of whom were talking about Zhan Fusheng's appointment, and there was a little bit of loss between his words.
He finally did a good job in the ideological work of the two, and Lei Yunyu called again and suddenly told him that she was going to the capital to study for a year.
He was extremely surprised by this, but for the sake of Lei Yunyu's career, although he hoped that she would not go, he still expressed his support.
At noon, he had dinner with Chen Qianqian and Zhu Zhibai, and after the meal, he bought some gifts and went to visit the second elder of the Luo family.
Unexpectedly, he not only met the second elder of the Luo family, but also met Luo Min.
To be precise, after listening to Zhao Xiaobo's report, Luo Min temporarily changed his mind and went home and decided to meet Meng Jinxing.
After talking to Luo Apo and the old couple, Meng Jinxing, under the guidance of Zhao Xiaobo, entered Luo Min's study.
There are many things in Luo Min's study, one is a book, and the other is an ashtray.
From the moment Meng Jinxing walked into Luo's house, he found that the home of the leader of the provincial party committee was far simpler than Ge Yun's home, and there were cloth shoes on the shoe rack at the door, which immediately reminded him of the expressions of the group of people who jointly inspected Luo Min when they looked at Luo Min's muddy cloth shoes.
As soon as Zhao Xiaobo brought Meng Jinxing into the study, Luo Min, who was sitting in a rattan chair reading a book, raised his head and warmly beckoned Meng Jinxing to sit next to him.
Meng Jinxing put the teacup brought up downstairs on the coffee table, and sat down opposite Luo Min, his hands and feet together, in a very restrained state.
After the 6.12 case, Luo Min's attitude has been unclear, Meng Jinxing knows that his fault is not his own, but when he really faces this ministerial-level senior official again, he is still so nervous that his palms are cold sweat.
"I'm scary?" Luo Min saw that Meng Jinxing was nervous, and while asking him with a smile, he handed over a cigarette.
Meng Jinxing immediately took it with both hands and found that it was a hand-rolled cigarette.
Luo Min saw the surprise in his eyes, and explained casually: "The addiction to smoking is too big, a month's salary is removed from expenses, there are not a few packs of cigarettes to smoke, get some of our local tobacco to roll by yourself, and it is very enjoyable to smoke one." ”
"This should be choking, right?" Luo Min's easy-going mood made Meng Jinxing's mood much more relaxed, and he asked casually to avoid Luo Min's question just now that made him a little embarrassed.
"Old smokers like it." Luo Min said and lit a fire, and raised his hand towards Meng Jinxing, "Try it?" ”
Meng Jinxing was flattered, and hurriedly said, "You order first, I'll do it myself." ”
"This is not an office, you can take it easy, let's not engage in that set of official shelves." Luo Min stretched out the match to Meng Jinxing again.
Meng Jinxing was very moved, and immediately went up to light a cigarette, and when he inhaled, he choked his lungs, coughing so much that he burst into tears, while Luo Min laughed on the side.
It wasn't until Meng Jinxing stopped coughing that Luo Min said, "Xiaobo reported your request to me, and I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that I should listen to your true thoughts in person again." ”
Since it was time to talk about work, Meng Jinxing felt that it was impolite to smoke and talk in front of Luo Min, and this kind of handmade cigarette was indeed choking badly, so he simply pinched the cigarette and straightened his body to speak.
"The significance of the EG project to our province, Shencheng and Changfeng, I don't need to make an axe in front of you. What I want to say is that with the deepening of reform and opening up, international capital is entering the country through various means, and before our financial system is fully prepared, we at all levels and localities must be cautious about all kinds of large investments from abroad. Only by fully understanding the safety of funds and the risk assessment value of investment projects can we truly ensure that every investment promotion work we have put in place. ”
Meng Jinxing looked at Luo Min, pondered the wording and continued: "A few years ago, although the international arbitrage incident was born, although the damage was caused by enterprises and some individual investors, as an integral part of our country's market economy, their interests are also something that we should fully attach importance to and protect. In particular, if we further cause the loss of state-owned assets because we are greedy for merit and fast progress, the consequences will not be borne by one or two cadres, and the resulting black hole of funds will very likely make our finances unable to recover for many years. Changfeng is a poor county, and the first task now is not to be rich or well-off, but to have food and clothing. I think steady development is more conducive to the stability of the entire industrial system and the balance of economic development than one step......"
Once he began to talk about his views in detail, Meng Jinxing's nervousness was swept away.
From the trends of the international capital market in the past ten years, to the development status of the financial market in large and medium-sized cities in China, and then to the capital market and financial system in southwest China, he further emphasized the need to fully investigate EG projects in connection with the development model that is most needed at the grassroots level.
At first, Luo Min just listened while smoking, but later he also took out a cigarette, took a notebook and a pen, listened and took notes, and occasionally interjected to ask some questions.
Love is a common characteristic of young people, calm as Meng Jinxing, and in the face of the high-level who listens carefully, he is no exception to want to show his most convincing things.
After Meng Jinxing finished talking about his thoughts, there was a moment of silence in the study, and Meng Jinxing's mood became anxious again.
After a while, Luo Min said: "I have never been in favor of being submissive and making the rudder when I see the wind." In particular, I am worried that many cadres nowadays are unwilling or afraid to tell the truth and do real things; once this trend spreads, over time, such cadres will form a hypocritical and sleek 'official cocoon' and completely forget the responsibilities they shoulder. ”
He nodded heavily at Meng Jinxing and said, "It's very good that you can boldly express your thoughts and question them in time!" It should be said that the issue you have just mentioned is not only pertinent but also important, and it should indeed attract our attention. ”
Receiving Luo Min's affirmation, Meng Jinxing's face couldn't help but show joy, and he forgot about the status gap with Luo Min, so he blurted out: "Then what do you mean?" ”
"Hehe, I'm in a hurry?" Luo Min pointed at Meng Jinxing, "Chairman Liu will also participate in the afternoon meeting, I suggest that you have a short meeting with him before you listen to what his real concerns are, and then you will consider whether you need to throw out your thoughts at the meeting." ”
Meng Jinxing was stunned, thinking to himself, if he wants to talk about ideas at the meeting, then he has to ask Weng Canhui in advance, even if Weng Canhui agrees, he also has to ask the leaders at all levels of the province, even if he dares to think and speak, he can't directly throw it out at the meeting, isn't that a slap in the face of the leaders?
Luo Min saw through his mind at a glance, "Don't worry, your thoughts, I have communicated with Comrade Bai Yan in the morning, and he also believes that caution is necessary, we can't be completely blinded by the appearance of the project, which is why the meeting was postponed to the afternoon." ”
Luo Min's explanation, Meng Jinxing's mood immediately boiled.
He didn't expect that after those few words were reported by Zhao Xiaobo last night, they immediately aroused the joint attention of Luo Min and Bai Yan, and Luo Min not only took the time to meet him specifically to listen to his thoughts, but also postponed the talks.
Encouraged by Luo Min's attitude, Meng Jinxing decided to take advantage of this opportunity to raise the issue of the Maling Tunnel at the same time.
This incident is different from EG's investment negotiations, and the official issues involved have nothing to do with Meng Jinxing's work, and if they are not done, they will be mistaken for revenge for his recent detention.
Therefore, when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again and turned into polite words of farewell.
Luo Min did not keep him, but shook hands with him and said goodbye and encouraged him to work hard.
Stepping out of the study, Meng Jinxing's mind suddenly appeared of the dead Ruan Yu and the missing Chen Yunlai, his mood fluctuated and could not be calm, he couldn't tolerate himself being a person who stood by because of his own selfishness, so he turned back to the study.
Seeing Meng Jinxing turn back, a trace of surprise flashed in Luo Min's eyes, but he still asked kindly, "Did you drop something?" ”
When Meng Jinxing heard this question, his heart suddenly lit up.
So he said casually: "It looks like the key is missing." He pretended to look around on the chair he had sat on, and then reluctantly said that he might have remembered wrongly, and said goodbye to Luo Min again before stepping out of the study.
Luo Min stood in the study, looking at Meng Jinxing's departing back, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Going downstairs and walking into the room of Luo Apo and his wife again, Meng Jinxing chatted with them for a while before formally saying goodbye, and deliberately left the materials related to the Maling Tunnel that he had been carrying with him on the sofa chair in the room before leaving.
Zhao Xiaobo came back after sending Meng Jinxing out of the door, ready to sort out the briefcase for Luo Min and go back to work at the provincial party committee. ”
"It's gone. Do you still have something to tell him? Zhao Xiaobo replied.
"It's not. He seemed to have dropped something. ”
Zhao Xiaobo took the thick briefcase from Grandma Luo's hand and opened it suspiciously.
"He's not going to give money like everyone else, is he?" Grandma Luo's face was a little angry, "He shouldn't be such a person!" ”
Zhao Xiaobo had already taken out the materials from the briefcase and replied casually: "Grandma, it's not money, it's materials, I guess I forgot to take ......"
His words were not awkward, because his eyes were firmly attracted to the content of the material, and every line he read made his heart tremble.
Grandma Luo didn't know what was going on, and when she heard that it wasn't money, she smiled reassuringly, "I'll just say that Director Xiao Meng is a good person!" She smiled and walked back to her room.
Zhao Xiaobo wanted to hold a piece of coal, which made him sweat.
Meng Jinxing didn't dare to present this material to Luo Min in person, obviously realizing that it was a little inappropriate to do so, but in Zhao Xiaobo's opinion, this way of secretly leaving the materials was also very inappropriate, and he was put in a dilemma.
Meng Jinxing, who left, didn't know that Grandma Luo didn't give the materials to her son, and he was secretly wondering all the way, what would Luo Min's reaction be when he saw the materials?
