The driver smiled and said in a tone of discussion on the phone:

"Old Wu! I accompanied the leader to the provincial capital to do something, but I didn't expect to be stuck in the highway and couldn't get up and down? You also know that leaders are busy with official business, so how can it be delayed like this? You see this high-speed seal is like this, can you help me think of something. ”

The voice on the phone was obviously enthusiastically talking about something, nothing more than proposing a solution to the problem.

After a while, I saw the driver nodding his head with his mobile phone and saying, "Okay, then thank you, our current location is close to the toll booth." ”

After saying the last sentence, the driver hung up the phone in his hand, and turned back to report to the leader sitting in the back row:

"Vice Mayor Chen, in five minutes, a police car will come to open the way for us, and we will go directly from another provincial road under the highway, but the weather is not good, and the speed may not be fast."

"It's okay, it's better than wasting time here." Chen Dalong nodded. As the two were talking, they heard the siren approaching.

Are there any privileges these days? Everyone knows it in their hearts.

"Sad Qin and Han Dynasty meridians, the palace has been made of soil. Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. "Zhang Yanghao's "Hillside Sheep. Tong Care Ancient.

It is true that even in contemporary society, when certain resources are scarce, the first to benefit must be certain privileged people with status and status. In fact, too many Chinese actually have a kind of worship psychology for this so-called privilege in their bones, rather than rejection, which is also a more sad fact reflected behind the phenomenon of privilege.

Straight to the point. Chen Dalong finally rushed to the provincial capital, and after a little rest and tidying up, he immediately went to visit Secretary Cao.

This time, Chen Dalong brought Secretary Cao to Hermès' latest calf leather basketball in Lake Blue, priced at $12,900, which is worth the price based on the exceptional quality of leather and exceptional craftsmanship.

In these years, it is not uncommon to give gifts to leaders, and gifts to the leaders' wives and children are sometimes more effective than giving gifts to leaders in person.

This little basketball was given to Secretary Cao's little grandson, who was just over a year old, although the little guy didn't understand anything, but he had already become the object of many people's plans to please him as soon as he was born, which can be regarded as a natural social welfare for the three generations of officials.

In terms of monetary value, the gift brought by Chen Dalong this time is indeed a bit thin, after all, the asking price of the position of the top leader of an economic development zone is at least not less than 500,000, right?

But Chen Dalong knew in his heart that the things he had paid tribute to Secretary Cao before were added to one million, and Secretary Cao only received gifts but did not help him do a few major things before, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, and now it is Secretary Cao's turn to help him.

When Secretary Cao saw Chen Dalong, his attitude was quite enthusiastic, if he was someone else, he would definitely be very enthusiastic about Chen Dalong, and he rarely bothered him as if he was worshipping a bodhisattva all day long, where to find such a good and caring subordinate?

After Secretary Cao shook hands with Chen Dalong, he looked at him with concerned eyes, and expressed his concern to Chen Dalong with a smile on his face:

"Vice Mayor Chen, I haven't been here for a while, what's wrong? Have you been feeling better lately? ”

"It's all a small injury, but it's a pity that Deputy Secretary-General Wang Xiaowen lost his life in vain." Chen Dalong mentioned the old things with a palpitating expression.

Secretary Cao criticized the tone and said:

"The public security work in Pu'an City is really not in place, and Liu Guoan, secretary of the municipal party committee, is to blame, and even the personal safety of the leaders of the municipal party committee cannot be guaranteed.

Chen Dalong hurriedly said good things for Liu Guoan: "Secretary Liu also tried his best, and since the last incident, he has also done a lot of making up for it." ”

There are no subordinates who like to speak ill of their bosses behind their backs, and Chen Dalong's initiative to play a round for Liu Guoan obviously made Secretary Cao secretly admire the young man's general knowledge and overall concept in his mind.

"Although it's good to make amends, some things can't be made up for after all, and human lives are at stake, don't you say?"

Although Secretary Cao has not yet become the governor of the province, his tone of voice has already had a bit of the meaning of the main leaders of the provincial party committee, and when he mentioned Liu Guoan, secretary of the Pu'an Municipal Party Committee, he had a disdainful tone, and he simply didn't take that one in his eyes.

Chen Dalong wisely avoided the topic of Liu Guoan, and said sincerely to Secretary Cao:

"Secretary Cao, after the last incident, I also figured it out in my heart, what level of official is not the most important, the important thing is to have a life, and I can do something practical for the people."

"It's right for you to have such an idea, after all, you are still young, and you have suffered this loss, so you should be careful in the future." Secretary Cao said in a sympathetic tone.

Chen Dalong saw that Secretary Cao didn't understand the meaning of his words, so he simply explained his intentions and thoughts:

"Secretary Cao, I came to you this time, just to ask you to help move the nest, I want to go to the Municipal Economic Development Zone to be the leader, and do something practical for the local economic development."

A light flashed in Secretary Cao's eyes, and it could be seen that he still had a certain ability to bear Chen Dalong's sudden request.

"What? I was just promoted to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and I have an idea in my heart? Secretary Cao asked.

Chen Dalong told the truth:

"I just want to have a small piece of land of my own and really do more work."

Secretary Cao nodded:

"Well, you're right to think so, after all, you really need to do more practical things to train yourself at your current age, and this is also a good opportunity to prove your strength.

An economic development zone in a city is like a small government, and the work involves all aspects, and if you can be the leader in such a position, it will be beneficial to improve your own overall quality. ”

Listening to Secretary Cao's completely agreeing tone, Chen Dalong's heart couldn't help but be happy, and he quickly got up and thanked Secretary Cao:

"Thank you Secretary Cao for your appreciation, as long as the leaders are willing to give me the opportunity, I will definitely bring the work of the Economic Development Zone of Pu'an City to a higher level."

Secretary Cao saw that Chen Dalong looked anxious to make a decision, and smiled at him:

"Huh! Okay, I appreciate the ambition of young people the most, but the adjustment of cadres is a very sensitive thing, and you should understand the reason. I suggest that you pay a visit to the Vice-Governor later, and it would be great if you could ask for his support in this matter. ”

When Chen Dalong heard this, he quickly nodded and said, "Thank you, Secretary Cao, for your order." ”

The conversation between Chen Dalong and Secretary Cao lasted for more than ten minutes, the content of the chat occupied about five minutes, the content of talking about business occupied seven or eight minutes, and finally there was one or two minutes for talking about the scene.

Although it didn't take long, Chen Dalong knew in his heart that he was sure of what he wanted to do.

According to Secretary Cao's reminder, Chen Dalong hurriedly went to Vice Governor Chang Chongde's office again.

A few years ago, after Chen Dalong got involved with Chang Chongde, he has been worshipping Chang Chongde cautiously like worshipping Secretary Cao. Two days ago, taking advantage of the previous year, Chen Dalong also arranged a trip to Europe for Chang Chongde's wife and children, and the whole trip was nearly a month, and all the arrangements and expenses were borne by Chen Dalong.

These behind-the-scenes footage, Chang Chongde naturally has a number in his heart, not to mention, Chen Dalong has never lost the benefits of Chang Chongde.

Unexpectedly, Vice Governor Chang Chongde's attitude towards him was also quite enthusiastic, and after a brief chat between the two, Chang Chongde immediately expressed his appreciation for Chen Dalong's "thoughtful and courageous" work spirit.

For about an hour or so, Chen Dalong felt a lot more relaxed when he came out of the gate of the provincial party committee and provincial government.

This trip to the provincial capital may be a good turning point for his career, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the deputy mayor of the Economic Development Zone, and then the leader of the Economic Development Zone, such a position can be seen by anyone who is young and promising to be reused by the leaders of the provincial party committee.

More importantly, with the work experience of being a top leader at the municipal level, it will be a very favorable political advantage for his future promotion.

The car crawled like a snail on the crowded lane of the provincial capital, Chen Dalong suddenly saw the words Fugui Mountain on the road signs on both sides of the road, which reminded him of Ji Yuntao, he now lives in the area of Fugui Mountain, and he felt that since he had come to the provincial capital, he should go to see him.

Although Ji Yuntao has gone to other provinces to take up a post, his home is still in the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province, after all, he is old, his children and wife are in the provincial capital, and he is naturally unwilling to do more tossing.

In the area of Fugui Mountain, most of them are villas of non-rich or noble families, among which there are leaders of the provincial military district, leaders of the provincial party committee and provincial government who live here, and some businessmen from the rich side have also bought houses here.

The exterior wall of the villa where Ji Yuntao lives is white, located in a wooded environment, it looks a little quiet and chic, the villa-style three-storey, composed of a living room, a study, a recreation room and nine suites with different layouts, not far from the villa is a parking lot, if you want to enter the villa, you must get out of the car and pass through a curved cobblestone paved path.

Chen Dalong slowly got out of the car, walked to the door of the villa, stretched out his hand and pressed the doorbell, the maid at home soon came to open the door, the courtyard is still the same, Ji Yuntao, who doesn't like to raise flowers very much, planted a lot of vegetables on the left side of the courtyard, and the right side of the yard is a fish pond.

"You're here!"

The maid knew Chen Dalong, and he used to always call him uncle, but now he doesn't know what to call him when they meet.

"Is Minister Ji at home?"

"Here, you come in and sit down, and I'll call you upstairs."

Chen Dalong followed the servant into the living room of the villa.

The living room is still the same, the simple and modern European style home gives people a sense of nobility and elegance, and the same style of wallpaper curtains, carpets, furniture, covers and other decorative fabrics are arranged in the home with an indescribable elegant atmosphere.

It can be seen that the original decoration designer of the villa must have wanted to add some advantages of modern style on the basis of European decoration style, and use simplified small sets to create a noble and elegant home atmosphere.
