No one knows the specific content of General Secretary Zhen Xinghua's conversation with Bi Siguo, but according to the observation of discerning people, when Bi Siguo walked out of General Secretary Zhen's office, the two sword eyebrows seemed to be more flamboyant, his neck and chest were much firmer, and the whole person looked like he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he was excited!

Putting down Bi Siguo's words, just talking about Jiang Tao, not long after the meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, he received a call from Premier Yang Jianguo personally, although the call was very short, only a few seconds, although Yang Jianguo only said three words "passed", but Jiang Tao understood that the matter between him and Zhao Pingyuan had been decided.

What followed was a routine conversation of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, which set a date to send Jiang Tao to Hoh, Province X to take up his post.

Under Jiang Tao's recommendation and Chu Tianxiong's support, Liu Wanmin, mayor of Shangze City, took over the post of secretary of Jiang Tao's municipal party committee. Liu Renjie, director of the Public Security Bureau, was transferred to the Provincial Public Security Department and served as the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation. Jiang Tao's secretary Zhao Qingchang was arranged by Liu Wanmin to go to a key county in Shangze City and become the secretary of the county party committee.

Although Jiang Tao's driver Ma Zonghan was persuaded by Jiang Tao many times, he still insisted on following Jiang Tao to the northwest, and in desperation, Jiang Tao had no choice but to agree to Ma Zonghan's request.

Jiang Tao and Liu Wanmin, the new secretary of the municipal party committee, finished handing over the work at hand, and at the repeated request of the leaders of Shangze City, they went to the Shangze Hotel to participate in the practice banquet held by all the cadres of Shangze City for Jiang Tao.

Wine is good wine, food is good food, and most of the words reveal true feelings. Dozens of banquets, hundreds of people, the people at the table have different mentalities, some are jealous, some are envious, some are happy, and some are regretful, but they all know very well in their hearts that Jiang Tao has contributed to Shangze City today.

Jiang Tao saw these familiar or unfamiliar faces in front of him, his heart is also full of mixed feelings, almost 20 years, he has gone from a little-known teacher to today, how many ups and downs and tribulations he has experienced during the period only he knows in his heart, today finally out of Qilu Province, to reopen up a new world, is a challenge and an opportunity, Jiang Tao's mind has been flashing Yang Danning's words: Brother Tao! We are all optimistic about you, and the future stage belongs to you!

Liu Wanmin, Liu Renjie, Zhao Qingchang and others, with a full glass of wine in their hands, came over to clink glasses with Jiang Tao, with tears in their eyes, Liu Wanmin said in a choked voice: "Secretary Jiang, I know that you don't drink, a few of us will have a glass of wine with you, and we will do it as you like!" ”

Jiang Tao knew that after saying goodbye today, the chances of seeing the brothers who had fought together in front of him would be greatly reduced, after all, they were thousands of miles apart.

Jiang Tao turned around and beckoned, signaling the waiter who followed him to change a beer for him, seeing Jiang Tao change to beer, Liu Wanmin and others were very moved, this is a reflection of Secretary Jiang's deep relationship with them.

As the saying goes, there is no banquet in the world, Jiang Tao still has to catch a plane to report to the Central Organization Department of the capital, so he walked to the microphone set up in front of the banquet, and said a few words briefly, nothing more than to express his gratitude, welcome to Hohwa as a guest and wait for the welcome to wait for the welcome to the scene, and then signaled Liu Wanmin to end the banquet.

At this time, Liu Wanmin, the newly appointed secretary of the municipal party committee, spoke: "The comrades' feelings for Secretary Jiang are not said, but Shangze City is still a few hours away from Jibei Airport, and it is not realistic for comrades to send Secretary Jiang off. ”

Now that the secretary of the municipal party committee has spoken, the others have no choice but to give up. Liu Wanmin and Zhao Qingchang accompanied Jiang Tao to a minibus, and Ma Zonghan naturally followed him.

Arriving at Jibei Airport, Jiang Tao said goodbye to Liu Wanmin and others, and took Ma Zonghan to board a flight to the capital.

By the time Jiang Tao arrived at the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Jiang Tao knew that the leaders of the Central Organization Department must still be waiting for him, so he walked into the office building of the Central Organization Department, found the minister's office, and knocked on the door gently.

The door opened, and a young man who looked like a secretary came out and said politely: "You are Comrade Jiang Tao, right?" Minister Zhan is waiting for you. ”

Jiang Tao followed the young man into the office, the young man motioned Jiang Tao to wait, he knocked lightly on the door of the suite, and said softly: "Minister Zhan, Comrade Jiang Tao is here." ”

"Let him in!" A man's voice came from the suite.

The young man pushed open the door for Jiang Tao, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, signaling that Jiang Tao could go in.

Jiang Tao nodded in gratitude and walked into the suite of the office. Minister Zhan Tianzuo's office is very simple and elegant, with a classical cultural atmosphere. Jiang Tao noticed that there was a middle-aged man wearing glasses sitting on the sofa opposite Zhan Tianzuo's desk, who should be six or seven years older than him.

Minister Zhan Tianzuo saw Jiang Tao enter the door, stretched out his hand to greet him, and said: "Comrade Jiang Tao, you have worked hard all the way, come, let me introduce you, he is your squad leader, Comrade Kang Liancheng, the new secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Hohhot." ”

After Jiang Tao shook hands with Zhan Tianzuo, he hurriedly shook hands with Kang Liancheng and said hello.

Jiang Tao and Kang Liancheng met for the first time, but they had heard of each other's names, and since they would be partners in the future, the two couldn't help but look at each other's anxious eyes very carefully.

Kang Liancheng's impression of Jiang Tao is that he is a very stable person, with everyone's demeanor in his gestures, and it seems that he has been working beside the general secretary for a long time, and he has been somewhat contaminated with the atmosphere of a superior.

Kang Liancheng didn't expect Jiang Tao to be so young, he would become a deputy ministerial-level cadre before the age of forty, and he probably couldn't pick out a few people across the country. Kang Liancheng had heard rumors about Jiang Tao before, and he couldn't help but be a lot more curious about Jiang Tao.

Zhan Tianzuo, head of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, motioned for Jiang Tao to sit down and speak, and after Jiang Tao thanked him, he sat down on the side of the sofa. Since the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee had already talked to Jiang Tao and Kang Liancheng before, the main intention this time was to let Kang Liancheng and Jiang Tao meet, and Zhan Tianzuo's intention in this move was obvious, that is, to sell well to the general secretary and the premier.

Zhan Tianzuo looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "This time the central government sent the two of you to Hohshi, it can be described as unique ingenuity, Comrade Kang Liancheng is steady, Comrade Jiang Tao is impulsive, and you have excellent cooperation, and the central government has high hopes for you." ”

Jiang Tao and Kang Liancheng glanced at each other and didn't answer, he was waiting for Kang Liancheng to say first, seeing Jiang Tao's move, Zhan Tianzuo nodded secretly: This person knows how to advance and retreat, and his gestures already have the momentum of a superior person, and it seems that he has a bright future.

Kang Liancheng knew that Minister Zhan was speaking on behalf of the Central Committee, so he said modestly: "Minister Zhan has won the award, and I will definitely cooperate well with Comrade Jiang Tao and live up to the expectations of the Central Committee." ”

Jiang Tao also said: "Please rest assured that the central government will take Comrade Kang Liancheng as the leader, and under the leadership of the squad leader, strive to develop the local economy and make Hohwa develop better!" ”

"Hehe, seeing that you have this attitude, as a big brother, I feel very gratified, tomorrow Comrade Guan Ling, deputy director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, will send you to Hohhot to take up your post, I wish you a smooth journey!" Zhan Tianzuo stood up and shook hands with the two of them.

After saying goodbye to Zhan Tianzuo, Kang Liancheng said to Jiang Tao with a smile: "Brother, are we looking for a place to have a drink?" Deepen your relationship with each other? ”

Jiang Tao also has this intention, and they will work together in the future, so it is better to know more about it. Jiang Tao smiled, didn't see outside, and said: "Secretary Kang, you are my leader, and you are the big brother, the squad leader, you should be invited to this meal, right?" ”

"Hehe, I heard that you can be a billionaire, how can you be so slammed?" Kang Liancheng teased Jiang Taodao.

Jiang Tao smiled: "Do you know how I came to be a billionaire? It's from between the teeth. Kang Liancheng and Jiang Tao laughed on their backs.

Walking out of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, Jiang Tao said to Ma Zonghan, who was waiting on the side: "Xiaoma, you go to the reception office of Shangze City to book a room, and I will accompany Secretary Kang to have some dinner." Ma Zonghan nodded in agreement and took a taxi to the Shangze City Beijing Office.

Kang Liancheng asked suspiciously: "Didn't the Beijing Office contact you?" ”

Jiang Tao said with a smile: "You called me before and said that you would send a car to pick me up, but I refused." ”

Kang Liancheng nodded secretly, Hushi is an unfamiliar environment for Jiang Tao and him, in this case, it is better to be cautious. It seems that Jiang Tao is also a caring person.

"Brother Jiang, what do you want to eat?" Kang Liancheng turned his head and asked Jiang Tao.

"Brother Kang, I just find a clean and clean place, just eat some food, and I don't drink." Jiang Tao really doesn't pay much attention to eating, it's good to be able to fill his stomach, not to mention that the purpose of eating today is not to eat.

"Hehe, it's really hard to meet your request, it's easy to eat anything in the capital, but it's hard to find a clean place." Kang Liancheng said with a smile.

Jiang Tao echoed and said: "Yes, the characteristic of our country is that there are many people, especially in the heart of the motherland, which is overcrowded. ”

The two talked and walked, Jiang Tao found that there was a small restaurant on the side of the road, which looked very clean, so he said to Kang Liancheng: "Brother Kang, let's do it, I see that there is almost no one, you can talk with confidence." ”

Kang Liancheng also felt very satisfied when he saw it, so he took the lead and walked into this small restaurant.

Although the hotel is small, it is rare that there is a small private room, Kang Liancheng and Jiang Tao ordered a few home-cooked side dishes, and Kang Liancheng asked for a bottle of beer for himself. After a while, the wine and food came up, and the two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Kang Liancheng picked up the cup, took a big sip of beer, put down the cup and said, "Brother Jiang Tao, I don't know if you have any plans in your heart?" ”

"I'm just talking on paper now, and I don't touch the situation in Hoh, although I have some ideas, but I'm afraid that it doesn't match the reality, so let's talk about it when it comes." Jiang Tao took a bite of food and said.

"Well, the economic situation of Hohwa is better, but as far as I know, there are many problems, such as the country's coal resources are very serious, and there is a serious gap between the rich and the poor, it is said that half of the wealth in Hohhot is concentrated in the hands of so many people, Brother Jiang Tao, we have a long way to go." Kang Liancheng stretched out his hand and patted Jiang Tao's shoulder and said.

Jiang Tao knew that Kang Liancheng was talking about things, but how to solve these problems, he didn't have a clear idea in his heart now, so he thought of talking about it after the investigation of Hoh.

But what Kang Liancheng and Jiang Tao didn't expect was that the day after they arrived in Hoh, the two of them were beaten on the head!
