readx; In the living room on the 28th floor of Jiangcheng Hotel, the gorgeous chandeliers and wall lamps are lit, and the lights from the top of the TV tower outside the window complement each other, which is particularly bright. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Governor Ding was still upstairs to talk to the officials in the capital, and Zhao Weiming, who came in a hurry, could only wait here accompanied by Zhang Xiaoqiang, deputy director of the Provincial Political Axe Reception Office and general manager of Jiangcheng Hotel.

Facing Zhao Weiming, the newly elected vice governor, Zhang Xiaoqiang was extremely enthusiastic. After all, among all the provincial leaders, the experience of the person in front of him is strikingly similar to him, they all entered the Tao as a businessman, and they have all worked as fake officials and businessmen.

The hospitality of Jiangcheng Hotel is not covered, and the handsome waiter just gave Zhao Weiming a soft Chinese gift, so he brought the Tieguanyin tea that had been specially used by the provincial leaders and had already been brewed, and put it lightly on the coffee table in front of him.

In fact, Zhang Xiaoqiang has repeatedly emphasized the hygiene of the male waiters serving in the reception room, saying that making tea and tobacco, before and after the guests, they should be respectful and polite to the guests, and they should not mess up the rules.

Seeing that the young man who came with Zhao Weiming politely refused the cigarette offered by the waiter, Zhang Xiaoqiang turned around and said respectfully: "Vice Governor Zhao, Governor Ding doesn't know when he will be able to come down, why don't I ask someone to prepare some supper for the two of you?" ”

Only then did Zhao Weiming realize that Tian Wenjian was intercepted by himself from the halfway road, and immediately asked, "Wenjian, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?" ”

There was such a big event, but the province was not prepared at all, how could Tian Wenjian eat? Without thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, it's important to get down to business." ”

Although Zhao Weiming is only the vice governor at the bottom of the ranking, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and he is also a high-ranking deputy provincial leading cadre. Tian Wenjian's words and deeds surprised Zhang Xiaoqiang, and secretly wondered where he was sacred. To his surprise, Tian Wenjian suddenly leaned down, took out his laptop from his bag, and asked lightly: "Manager Zhang, is there a network cable here?" ”

"Yes, yes, there's a socket here."

The atmosphere was a little weird, and Zhao Weiming, who was sitting precariously, didn't even touch the teacup, but stood up and paced around the living room. From time to time, he took out the only half-cut cigarette from his mouth, clamped his big and middle fingers, and flicked it with his index finger. The habit of throwing cigarette ash into the ashtray is now gone.

The soft scarlet carpet fell together at his feet. Gray-white soot fluttered across his chest and flew through the space of the living room. Then they all floated down and scattered onto the expensive carpet.

And Tian Wenjian, who had just reached the door, tapped the keyboard neatly. Although Zhang Xiaoqiang's foreign language is not very good, he can still distinguish the email he is checking not only in English, but also in French and Portuguese.

Just as he was in a dilemma, the waiter suddenly walked in and whispered a few words in his ear. Zhang Xiaoqiang waved his hand, and while motioning for the waiter to go out, he said in a low voice: "Vice Governor Zhao, Governor Ding is down." ”

"Let's go to the elevator to pick him up." Zhao Weiming was stunned for a moment, then stopped his steps, patted Tian Wenjian's shoulder, and walked out without looking back.

Zhang Xiaoqiang followed and walked straight to the door of the elevator room. Glancing at the indicator light on the elevator door, he saw that the rising arrow was changing rapidly, and he knew that Governor Ding was about to reach the 28th floor. Hurriedly glanced at the waiter in the corridor, pouted, and motioned for him to enter the reception room to go to Zhang Luo, and prepare to welcome the second senior member of Province J.

Zhao Weiming lifted the belt of his trousers, then spread the five fingers of his hands, pulled his hair back from both temples, and tidied up the collar of his suit again, and then stared intently at the automatic door of the elevator room.

The rising arrow of the indicator light was finally frozen, and with a "sizzle", the automatic door of the elevator room opened. A middle-aged man in his forties walked out accompanied by his secretary.

"Comrade Weiming, I've kept you waiting." Without waiting for Zhao Weiming to speak, the middle-aged man stretched out his right hand and greeted him with a smile.

There is no doubt that the person in front of him is Governor Ding Haonan. He is 48 years old and looks four to five years younger than his actual age due to good maintenance. The face of the national character is ruddy and shiny, giving people an extraordinary feeling.

Zhao Weiming shook his head with a wry smile, and while letting go of his body and asking Ding Haonan to go first, he said solemnly: "The stakes are very high, and it is not clear on the phone, so I can only come here to report to you in person." ”

In Ding Haonan's impression, Zhao Weiming is a stable figure. He has no political ambitions, and he doesn't have his own hills like other deputy positions. Because of this, Ding Haonan has always respected this "newcomer" of the provincial political axe who is older than himself. Even on the appointment of the new leadership team of Blue Sky Holding Group, he was first consulted for his opinion.

In the middle of the night, he was anxious to see himself, which made him realize that it would definitely not be a trivial matter, so he stopped his steps and said to the young man behind him very seriously: "Call Mayor Wu, just say that I can't get out of my body now, and ask him to come to my office early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes." Secretary Wang nodded heavily, then stepped aside, took out his mobile phone and called.

The two bigwigs want to talk about things, and Zhang Xiaoqiang naturally won't follow up. To his belief, Zhao Weiming had just walked to the door, and suddenly pointed to the young man behind him and introduced: "Governor Ding, this is Dr. Tian Wenjian, who has just returned from the United States, graduated from Harvard University, and is now an associate professor in the Department of Philosophy of Jiang University. ”

"Hello Governor Ding."

Ding Haonan noticed the young man behind him, stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile: "I thought Comrade Weiming had changed his secretary, it turned out to be Professor Tian of Jiang University, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

"A scholar, let Governor Ding smile." Tian Wenjian held his hand tightly and said with a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Let's go, let's go in."

Ding Haonan led the two into the reception room, sat down on the brown leather sofa on the left, and tucked a pure white back cushion embroidered with fish patterns behind his back. His legs were swinging in a small figure-eight shape, his left arm was resting on the armrest of the sofa, and his right hand was in a blue cushion.

Zhao Weiming took a stack of materials from Tian Wenjian's hand and handed it over, and reported very seriously: "Governor Ding, the SARS epidemic mentioned by Vice Governor Liu at the governor's office meeting the day before yesterday is not groundless. The matter is even more serious than we imagined, and if no effective measures are taken, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

The vice governor in charge of industry, in charge of health and medical affairs, this is also too incredible! Ding Haonan suddenly frowned, and couldn't help but say: "Comrade Weiming, the central leadership has just been replaced, and now stability is overriding everything, we can't see the wind or the rain." ”

Not to mention that the situation is unclear now, even if there is indeed a SARS epidemic in Nanhai City, it is thousands of miles away. What's more, it's just a case, to put it mildly, an inland province like Province J is more difficult to get infected with the SARS virus than to win the lottery.

To his surprise, Zhao Weiming stood up suddenly, and said heavily: "Governor Ding, if it was five years ago, I would have disdained this, after all, such a thing is too unbelievable and too far away from us. But just five years ago, people living with HIV, who also exist only in movies, that is, people living with HIV, appeared around me.

If Dr. Tian, then the director of the Longjiang Air Force Hospital, had not discovered that the provincial party committee and the provincial government had not taken a series of effective measures in a decisive manner, the number of HIV-infected people in Longjiang would have been far more than the current 3,824. For our most populous province, they may be only a few parts per million statistically, but for them and their families...... But it's 100 percent! ”

Although Ding Haonan is a cadre transferred from other provinces, as deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and governor of the people's political axe, he is not ignorant of the existence of thousands of AIDS patients in Longjiang. In fact, in the past two years, the provincial treasury has had to allocate more than 30 million yuan of special funds every year for the treatment of AIDS patients.

Seeing that Zhao Weiming raised the SARS epidemic to the height of HIV infection, Ding Haonan didn't dare to ignore it, and motioned for him to sit down while looking through the materials collected by Tian Wenjian.

On March 10, the Hong Kong Department of Health received a notice from the Hospital Authority that seven doctors and four nurses in Ward 8A of the Prince of Newales Hospital had developed fever and symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection. On this day, the curtain of Hong Kong's fight against [***] was lifted.

On March 11, the number of medical staff in Ward 8A, who were feeling unwell, surged to 23, two of whom were confirmed to be infected with pneumonia [***]. The number of confirmed infections among medical staff increased to 10.

On March 16, it was found that for the first time, family members of medical staff were infected. On the 17th, the number of infected cases exceeded 100. On the 18th, Hong Kong had its first local case of infection and death.

From the "point" spread of individual hospitals to the "face" spread of Amoy Gardens, it has become a major turning point of the epidemic in Hong Kong. Around mid-March, a kidney patient who had been admitted to Ward 8A of the Prince of Wales Hospital visited his relatives several times at Block E of Amoy Gardens in Kwun Tong, Kowloon.

On March 26, the Hong Kong Government Department of Health confirmed that seven people from five families were infected in Block E of Amoy Gardens. On the 28th, the number of infected people in Amoy Gardens increased significantly to 63. On the 31st, the number of infected people surged to 213 ......!

In Nanhai City, which borders Hong Kong, only three infected people were found, and before the clinical diagnosis of SARS infection was confirmed, they died, one of whom was a professor at a medical university.

Ding Haonan, who has visited the two places, still knows how close the ties between Nanhai City and Hong Kong are. Several ports are full of people coming and going, and the flow is endless 24 hours a day. If you say that no one in the South China Sea is infected by SARS, he will not believe it.

Seeing this, Ding Haonan put down the materials in his hand and said thoughtfully: "If, as the materials say, the virus appeared last year, then we really need to take some precautions." After all, the Spring Festival has just ended, and no one dares to guarantee that the returning migrant workers have not brought the virus back. ”

Without waiting for Zhao Weiming to speak, Tian Wenjian said solemnly: "There was a similar case last year, there is no doubt about it. However, in my opinion, even if no one in Province J is infected with SARS now, effective measures must be taken to prevent the import of infected cases. ”

"It's easier said than done."

Ding Haonan sighed, shook his head and said: "In the face of the complicated epidemic, we must be very decisive and cautious in taking measures. If the measures go too far and cause excessive panic, it is likely to lead to the suffocation of the economy of Province J, suffer unnecessary heavy blows, and even trigger fierce social unrest; However, if the measures are slow and ineffective, they will cause serious harm to people's lives and health. ”

Faced with a dilemma, it is indeed not so easy to judge the situation, weigh the pros and cons, and make a decision in a very short period of time. Tian Wenjian pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "Governor Ding, I know that it is difficult for you to make a decision under these circumstances, but at least you can make some preparations.

For example, contact the Hong Kong Department of Health to obtain first-hand information about the SARS virus; Health management departments at all levels are required to screen patients admitted to hospitals, and once infected people are found, they can be quickly isolated to ensure that the virus does not spread; and hoarding medical supplies, raising special funds, and so on. ”

In Ding Haonan's view, Tian Wenjian's suggestion is still relatively reasonable, but it is too child's fun to make a decision based on his words. Facing the eager eyes of the two, Ding Haonan suddenly stood up, took out his mobile phone, and quickly dialed the phone of a well-connected deputy minister of health.

On this sensitive issue, the deputy minister flickered, and talked about him left and right, and talked for more than ten minutes, but there was no clear explanation. Ding Haonan realized the seriousness of the problem, after all, he is too clear about the way the relevant departments do things, and everyone is afraid to take responsibility when they encounter problems, and no one will expose their ugliness until they have to.

Thinking of this, Ding Haonan immediately said: "Professor Tian, the materials you provided are very important, and your suggestions are also very pertinent. Such...... You stay here first, after all, we are now in the dark, and we need your assistance in the next work. Comrade Weiming, you come with me to see Secretary Miao, by the way, call Comrade Changkun and Director Wang of the Department of Health. ”

aroused the great attention of the provincial leaders, Dr. Tian Da's goal has been achieved, he doesn't want to be "house arrested" here, and immediately shook his head and said: "Governor Ding, in fact, that's all I know. Besides, I'm a philosopher, not an MD, so staying here won't really help you. ”

Ding Haonan waved his hand, and while walking outside the living room, he said without looking back: "You have served as the director of Longjiang Air Force Hospital, and you have more experience than us in the prevention and control of infectious diseases. That's it, wait for my call. ”

Zhao Weiming, who didn't want Tian Wenjian to be a teacher all his life and was trying to get him back to the "right path", nodded heavily and said meaningfully: "Professor Tian, you are a young and middle-aged cadre trained by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and you have also participated in the investigation team of the State Council. At this time, you can't drop the chain for me. ”

Isn't that adding fuel to the fire? Tian Wenjian's head was big, and as soon as he sent the two bigwigs out of the door, he saw Ding Haonan showing a look of surprise, and turned around and asked, "Comrade Weiming, Professor Tian is still a person in the system?" ”

"Governor Ding, don't look at Professor Tian's youth, but his resume is not ordinary."

Zhao Weiming glanced back at him, and then introduced him in a precious manner: "He is the first 'military chief' and 'military standing committee' in the whole army, not only the first to discover HIV infection cases, but also led more than 400 officers and soldiers of the Longjiang Air Force Hospital to participate in the 98 flood fight, and has been awarded four third-class meritorious services. Even the seven old leaders of the Central Committee, including Bo Lao and Chen Lao, treated him and his Air Force Hospital differently. ”

As soon as the elevator door closed with a bang, Ding Haonan couldn't help but ask, "Really?" ”

Zhao Weiming nodded heavily, and said with a smug smile: "Really, in fact, he has done more than that." If you don't know, it can be said that without him, there would be no current Blue Sky Holding Group. Even the current Blue Sky Shipbuilding Company is revitalized by him. ”

It is not an easy thing to get the favor of the old head of the central government, Ding Haonan sighed lightly, and sighed with emotion: "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth! You can't let such talents be buried. ”

"Then you'll have to keep an eye on it."

Zhao Weiming pinched his nose, and Gu Zuo said mysteriously: "Director Qiao of the Central Office, Deputy Secretary Yan of the neighboring province, and Deputy Director Hu of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission are all optimistic about this kid." If he hadn't been able to join the army only once in his life, Minister Wang of the General Staff and Deputy Political Commissar Wang of the Air Force would have had to put on another military uniform for him. ”

Dr. Tian Da's huge network of relationships across the military and politics surprised Ding Haonan. You must know that Qiao Wei of the Central Committee's Office, Yan Zhijie of a neighboring province, and Hu Baoguo of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission belong to three different political factions. Don't look at them now, they are only vice-ministerial-level cadres, but they are the key training targets of various factions.

Thinking of this, Ding Haonan's eyes lit up, and he said thoughtfully: "Lao Zhao, there are not many doctors who graduated from Harvard University in our province. Since it is a young and middle-aged cadre trained by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, it cannot be cheapened by the Ministry of Education. Why don't you transfer the relationship to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and first appoint a department-level researcher, what do you think? ”

The Provincial Academy of Social Sciences is a department-level unit subordinate to the provincial political axe, and the work surname is very similar to Jiang University, and it is just to turn the relationship around, and people can continue to teach in Jiang University, which is an inconspicuous transition method, but Zhao Weiming still shook his head, and said with a wry smile:

"Governor Ding, he was at the department level four years ago. He has successively served as the deputy secretary of the Working Committee of Longjiang Development Zone, the deputy secretary and acting county magistrate of Hulin County, and the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Department of Philosophy of Jiangjiang University. During the four years he was studying in the United States, the Consulate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Boston asked him to participate in organizational life as a director-level cadre. ”

Ding Haonan didn't want to miss this opportunity to make friends with the three political rookies, so he blurted out without thinking about it: "Then vice president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, doesn't the central government advocate younger cadres?" Comrade Tian Wenjian wants to have academic qualifications and qualifications, and I think there is no problem. ”

Zhao Weiming weighed it, and while letting go of his body, he asked Ding Haonan to get out of the elevator first, and said in a low voice: "Then I have to ask for his own opinion." If you really can't do it, you can ask Comrade Ren Ran, secretary of the Taitung City CPC Committee, to do his ideological work. ”

Ren Ran's political achievements and abilities are obvious to all, otherwise he would not have grown from a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee at the bottom of the ranking to the current Secretary of the Taitung Municipal Party Committee in just four years. But he is a hardcore confidant of Zhao Zhengdong and an open secret in the political circles of J Province. Ding Haonan, who was sparing no effort to consolidate his ruling foundation and expand his political influence, was more interested in Tian Wenjian, a figure who could "connect the upper and lower generations", and suddenly laughed and said: "Lao Zhao, the person was introduced by you, you can't stand idly by." ”

Pushing Tian Wenjian out is a concrete manifestation of Zhao Weiming's unwillingness to be lonely. After all, he is only the vice governor at the bottom of the ranking, and if he wants to go one step further and become the next executive vice governor, he must get the support of the person in front of him. And the only thing he can come up with is Tian Wenjian, a character who can talk to all aspects.

He made up his mind to "share resources", and when he saw that his thoughts were pointed out by Ding Haonan, he smiled embarrassedly: "That's, that's." ”
