Liu Chengsheng lived in the dormitory of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.

His wife, Du Yuxin, doesn't like to live in old-fashioned courtyard houses. The courtyard facilities are aging, and it is not so convenient to live in them. The conditions of the high-rise cadres of the Central Organization Department are much better, and they are also very comfortable to live in.

Liu Chengsheng's house is a four-bedroom apartment, with a usable area of about 130 or 40 square meters. At the time, it was remarkable, well equipped and very livable.

Liu Weidong is a worker, and the unit has allocated housing, so he does not live here.

Liu Chengsheng has a total of three children, two sons and one daughter, daughter Liu Hualing, slightly older than Liu Weihong, graduated from college last year and joined the work, and the youngest son Liu Weichang is still in school. Liu Hualing and Liu Weichang both live with their parents.

Today is Liu Chengsheng's life, Liu Chengmei, Liu Chengjia, and Liu Chengai's three families rushed over early, and the living room was full of laughter. Liu Chengsheng's surname is quite different from the old man, he is relatively outgoing, and he is not always straight-faced. Speaking of which, Liu Chengsheng has four brothers and sisters, but Liu Cheng's family is the most similar to the old man's surname, with general majesty and general silence.

So in Liu Chengsheng's family, the little characters are more open.

However, the living room of the Liu family is only so big, and one or twenty people poured in at once, and it seemed more crowded. Liu Hualing "stepped forward", took the initiative to summon a few cousins and cousins, hid in her small room, and chirped and said that the topic of their girls had gone, which could be regarded as alleviating the crowded situation in the living room.

After a while, Liu Weichang called Hu Tianhou and other cousins to his room, and there were only four brothers and sisters Liu Chengsheng and their respective spouses left in the living room, plus Liu Weidong and Liu Weihong, all of a sudden, it was much quieter.

Liu Cheng is better than Sheng, and he doesn't do it. Senior cadres at his level are particularly concerned about some traditions. The old man doesn't do longevity, can Liu Chengsheng trespass?

"Big brother, when are you going to Jiangnan?"

Liu Chengai asked. She has always been particularly interested in these political things, especially after her husband Ma Guoping was promoted to director of the Second Bureau of Cadres of the Central Organization Department.

The living room was full of family members, and Liu Chengsheng was not very evasive, and said: "Come on, Secretary Pei has officially submitted his resignation report to the Central Committee, and he wants to retire and rest and recuperate." ”

Liu Chengai pursed his lips and said, "It's time for him to rest, a seventy-year-old man......"

In fact, at that time, the 70-year-old secretary of the provincial party committee could not be said to be "the oldest". As for the central level, the supreme chief, Mr. Liu and other fathers, who are over eighty years old, still hold front-line leadership positions.

Liu Chengsheng's face sank slightly, and he said: "Love!" ”

Although it is in his own home, Liu Chengai's words are still a bit out of line, if it is spread out, people will think that Liu Chengsheng is so impatient and wants to get rid of Secretary Pei.

Liu Chengai shrunk his neck, smiled wryly, and said, "What about at home......

"Big brother, I heard that the situation in Jiangnan Province is very complicated?"

Hu Fenqiang suddenly spoke, which surprised everyone. Hu Fenqiang is a cadre of state-owned enterprises, and he usually does not express much opinion on politics, and today he made an exception.

Although Liu Chengsheng doesn't value Hu Fenqiang very much in his heart, he still has to get by on face, after all, everyone came to celebrate his birthday today, and when he heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "Any province is complicated." ”

Hu Fenqiang was obviously not satisfied with Liu Chengsheng's simple answer, and said tentatively: "I heard that the situation in Jiangnan is more complicated than that of ordinary provinces. The economic development over there is relatively fast, and if it can produce results, some local cadres prefer to their tails......"

Liu Chengsheng glanced at him, still with a hint of a smile on his face, and said, "Who did you listen to?" ”

Hu Fenqiang hurriedly said: "Our company has business in Jiangnan, and I often have to go there on business trips, and I have also had a lot of dealings with local cadres in Jiangnan. I feel that these people have a strong reading mind, and everyone talks about work in a set of ways. According to them, the situation in the leading group of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Political Axe is very complicated, and the competition between cities is even more intense. The main leaders of the province often have to spend a lot of energy to reconcile these contradictions. ”

Liu Chengsheng originally said a few more words to Hu Fenqiang out of politeness, but Hu Fenqiang's words attracted his attention. Since he accepted Liu Weihong's suggestion to take up the post of secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, he has naturally paid more attention to the situation in Jiangnan Province. Liu Chengsheng previously served as deputy director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, and he had some understanding of the situation of many important cadres in Jiangnan Province. However, this understanding is mainly written and relatively superficial. Even if I've seen one or two sides, it's still a haha. These local cadres, no matter how high-flying and domineering, have to greet each other with a smile in front of the deputy director of the Central Organization Department.

However, once Liu Chengsheng became the secretary of the provincial party committee, the relationship with them immediately changed, and it became a relationship between his subordinates and subordinates and colleagues, and his work contacts naturally increased.

The secretary of the provincial party committee is in charge of the whole situation, and if he can't control the situation, it will be bad.

"Well, then let's talk about it, in addition to the cadres' strong reading thinking, what other complicated situations are there in Jiangnan?"

When Hu Fenqiang heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, couldn't help but straighten up, and said, "I also listened to what those cadres said...... They said that now the cadres in the province are divided into several factions, Secretary Pei's people are one faction, Governor Zhang Zhengshan's people are one faction, and there are other local powerful factions, and everyone usually fights fiercely. Now that Secretary Pei is about to go down, everyone's hearts are even more messy and messy. No matter who the new secretary is, it will not be easy to straighten out these relationships. ”

Liu Chengsheng listened and was noncommittal.

Liu Weidong smiled and said: "Uncle, local cadres are always like this, and they like to exaggerate. It is normal for there to be contradictions in work, but some cadres always like to attribute these contradictions in work to factional struggles. In fact, it's not like that, everyone is under the unified leadership of the party committee, where are there so many factions? ”

Hu Fenqiang's expression was a little embarrassed, and he said curtly: "Yes, I told them the same thing." Local cadres do still have a very limited vision of looking at problems. ”

In fact, Hu Fenqiang was quite unimpressed with Liu Weidong's words. Liu Weidong has never worked at the grassroots level, he has been working in national ministries and commissions, and he likes to look at problems from top to bottom, which is a bit high-minded. Where can the kind of intrigue in the offices of national ministries and commissions be compared with the "political struggle" at the local level? Most of the battles in the office are in the sleeves, and everyone still maintains a harmonious atmosphere on their faces. The local struggles are not so peaceful, and those local cadres are simply full of tricks and do everything in their power and profit to fight for power. Where is it so simple as Liu Weidong said?

Besides, Liu Weidong plays the big brand of the old Liu family and works in national ministries and commissions, including his superiors, who doesn't give him three points of face? It is estimated that no one will dare to use it against him.

The department-level cadres of the office of the national ministries and commissions openly broke their wrists with the grandson of the old Liu family to play tricks, didn't they think that their black gauze hats were too reliable?

It's not a big change, just by some small means, how can you get the internal successor of the old Liu family!

But Hu Fenqiang will definitely not refute Liu Weidong. Today he deliberately mentioned this topic, but there is a purpose.

"Big brother, I see, you're going to Jiangnan, do you want Fenqiang to give you a front stop first?"

Seeing that Liu Chengsheng didn't speak for a long time, Liu Chengmei couldn't help it and took the initiative to make a request.

Liu Chengsheng was slightly stunned and said, "Fenqiang will give me the front station?" ”

The others also had concerned expressions on their faces. Could it be that Hu Fenqiang wants to change careers and squeeze into the blocks? Liu Chengai's face flashed with disapproval.

When Liu Chengmei wanted to marry Hu Fenqiang, Liu Chengai did not approve of it. Liu Chengmei must marry, and Liu Chengai, as a younger sister, naturally can't stop her. However, Liu Chengai told her sister at the time, saying that she would regret it one day. More than 20 years have passed, and it is hard to say whether Liu Chengmei regrets it, but both husband and wife work in state-owned enterprises, and their status in the old Liu family is the lowest. At present, seeing that Liu Chengsheng, Liu Chengjia, and Ma Guoping have all been promoted to the next level, but there is nothing to do with Hu Fenqiang, Liu Chengmei's heart may be unbalanced. They are all the children of the old man, so they can't be so far apart, right?

However, Liu Chengsheng had not yet gone to Jiangnan to take up his post, and Hu Fenqiang came to put forward conditions, which was too pretentious.

"Yes, Fenqiang has a branch in Jiangnan Province, and it just happens to adjust the person in charge. Did the eldest brother say hello and let Fenqiang pass? Anyway, the level is the same, flat adjustment, it shouldn't be a big problem, right? ”

Liu Chengmei didn't hide it, and put forward her own requirements straightforwardly, which seemed quite reasonable.

Hu Fenqiang is now the head of the department of a state-owned enterprise, a middle-level cadre, and transferred to a branch in the province to be the boss, the level is indeed the same, but the real power is too different.

Liu Chengsheng's eyebrows frowned slightly, he was silent, and his eyes glanced at Liu Weihong's face intentionally or unintentionally.

It's a little strange today, since he entered the door, Liu Weihong didn't talk much, and sat there drinking tea one by one, very leisurely. This seems to be a bit inconsistent with Liu Weihong's surname.

Seeing the uncle's gaze, Liu Weihong smiled and nodded, and took another sip of the teacup.

"Weihong, what do you think?"

Liu Chengsheng suddenly asked.

Everyone's eyes focused on Liu Weihong's face. Liu Chengmei secretly wondered, why is such a big event, the eldest brother would ask Weihong's opinion? She didn't know that it was Liu Weihong's proposal to strive to become the secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee. Even Liu Chengjia, the position of army commander, was "fought for" by Liu Weihong in front of the old man.

Liu Weihong hurriedly put down the teacup, sat up straight, and replied with a smile: "It's good, Jiangnan's economy is relatively active, and my eldest uncle should be able to make good results when he is transferred." ”
