There was a knock on the door outside, and from the sound of the knock Xiang Cheng could hear that it was his wife Ma Mingli, when he was in a bad mood, his children did not dare to touch the mold, Ma Mingli pushed open the door and said: "Xiaogong is here!" ”

Xiao Gong is the mayor of Beigang City, he is fifty-one years old this year, and it stands to reason that he is also an old qualification, but because of his surname, few people call him Lao Gong, of course, his own wife is an exception.

Gong Huanshan only came back from the capital this morning, he and Xiang Cheng have a very good relationship, since he ascended to the position of mayor, the two have cooperated very tacitly, although Beigang has not developed greatly in their hands, but the leadership of Beigang has always been united and stable, and there is no common infighting in other places, which is also the most proud and proud place of Xiang Cheng.

Xiang Cheng didn't go downstairs, but asked his wife to invite Gong Huanshan to his study, not because he had a big shelf, but because he didn't want the conversation with Gong Huanshan to be heard by others, even if it was a family member.

It didn't take long for Gong Huanshan to come to Xiangcheng's study, and when he was downstairs, he had already handed over the souvenirs brought from Liubiju in the capital to Ma Mingli, and when he came to Xiang Cheng's study, he handed him a box of Korean ginseng: "Secretary Xiang, this is what I bought in the capital, I heard that you have not had a good rest recently, so let's make up for some Korean ginseng." ”

Xiang Cheng laughed: "Returning to the mountain, tonic must also be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, and indiscriminate tonic is not only not beneficial, but will be detrimental to the body." Xiang Cheng took the box of Korean ginseng and looked at it, it was indeed a high-grade product, he pointed to the sea of tea near the window, and came over there with Gong Huanshan to sit down.

Looking at Xiang Cheng's skillful tea brewing, Gong Huanshan smiled and said: "Secretary Xiang's research on tea ceremony, I can't catch up in my life." ”

Xiang Cheng said: "Your job is to study people, not tea!" ”

Gong Huanshan said with a smile: "Secretary Xiang, this time I went to visit Xue Lao in the capital. ”

Xiang Cheng nodded and said, "Have you delivered the gift I asked you to bring?" "What Xiang Cheng sent was not anything valuable, it was just pickles pickled by his mother, and Xue Lao loved to eat them very much, so every year, as long as he had the opportunity, Xiang Cheng would send some to Xue Lao by himself or by entrusting others.

Gong Huanshan said: "It's delivered." Xue Lao was very happy and left me at home for a meal. I opened it at noon that day and ate it. I ate three chili peppers in a row. ”

Xiang Cheng's eyes showed Xue Lao's happy look, and his chunjiao couldn't help but smile: "Xue Lao's body is okay?" ”

Gong Huanshan said: "Okay, very." The old man also said that he would wait for the weather to warm up. He's coming to North Harbor to play. ”

Xiang Cheng said: "Okay! ”

Gong Huanshan took a sip of tea, quietly observed Xiang Cheng, and Xiang Cheng has been with him for so many years, he already knows Xiang Cheng quite well, even from a subtle performance of Xiang Cheng, he can see his mood at this time, Gong Huanshan can be sure that Xiang Cheng's current mood is not good, he asked very carefully: "Secretary Xiang, these days I have been gone, has anything happened in Beigang?" ”

Xiang Cheng said casually: "Zhang Yang, the new secretary of the Binhai County Party Committee, has arrived!" ”

Gong Huanshan nodded: "I know." The future son-in-law of Secretary Song of the Provincial Party Committee, although I am in the capital, I still saw some news about him, it seems that he is still somewhat capable, and he has tossed some fame when he first came to Beigang. ”

Xiang Cheng said: "He has already submitted an application to the State Council to withdraw the county and change the city!" ”

Gong Huanshan was slightly stunned, and he slowly put the tea cup in his hand on the sea of tea: "You agreed?" ”

Xiang Cheng said: "So far, he hasn't told me yet." ”

Gong Huanshan couldn't help but be stunned, he could hardly believe his ears, Binhai is a county under the jurisdiction of Beigang, as the secretary of the county party committee, Zhang Yang proposed to withdraw the county and change the city, but there was no superior leader of the Prophet Society, which was not reasonable at all! No matter how arrogant he is, he can't help but take his top boss in his eyes. Gong Huanshan said: "The application has been handed in?" ”

Xiang Cheng nodded and said, "According to what I learned, it has been handed over." ”

Gong Huanshan said: "Isn't this playing the piano indiscriminately?" The matter of withdrawing the county and changing the city needs to be considered by the city as a whole and carefully studied before making a decision. ”

Xiang Cheng said: "It's not that I don't approve of the removal of the county and the city, the year before last, when Zan Shijie was in office, he made an application, and I also gave strong support, but now it is different from the past, the impact of the fire in Binhai Fulong Port has not been eliminated, and the families of the victims still have a few people who have not signed the compensation agreement. ”

Gong Huanshan said: "This Zhang Yang is really a bit leaderless, and it's too rampant." ”

Xiang Cheng sighed and said: "It's a good thing for young people to have enthusiasm, but you can't take too big a step, and when you are emotional, you can do it immediately if you think of something, and in the end, it will cause losses to the country." But since Secretary Song sent him to me, I also have to take care of the young cadre's positive xing, the criticism is too heavy, I am worried that his self-esteem will be hurt, and I will be discouraged from now on, but if I don't criticize, he may do more excessively in the future, I am really a little conflicted now. ”

Gong Huanshan still doesn't understand, Xiang Cheng is not afraid of hurting Zhang Yang's self-esteem, he is afraid of Zhang Yang's quasi-father-in-law, Song Huaiming, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, there is a way to beat a dog and it depends on the owner, if Xiang Cheng treats Zhang Yang too harshly, I am afraid that he will offend Song Huaiming, Gong Huanshan said: "Actually, I didn't agree with him coming over at the beginning, such a cadre is not easy to manage." ”

Xiang Cheng smiled and said: "It's not easy for us to say anything about the things decided by the leader. "Zhang Yang came to Binhai, it was recommended by Governor Zhou Xingmin, and Song Huaiming, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, acquiesced.

Gong Huanshan said: "Secretary Xiang, why don't I talk to him!" ”

Xiang Cheng nodded.

Gong Huanshan understood that Xiang Cheng meant this, he didn't want to come forward, for fear of offending Song Huaiming, this kind of offending people still let himself do it, but Gong Huanshan didn't have any complaints in his heart, he was always quite in awe of Xiang Cheng, and treated Xiang Cheng as a teacher and a brother. Xiang Cheng has not been long away from stepping down from the position of secretary of Beigang, and in the eyes of outsiders, this position undoubtedly belongs to Gong Huanshan. Even Xiang Cheng himself has repeatedly said that he wants to hand over this position to Gong Huishan, and only by handing it over to a reliable person can he effectively safeguard his own political interests and continue his political ideas, which is a reality that every leader will consider.

Gong Huanshan just went to work the next day, he personally made a phone call to Zhang Yang, he was going to let the secretary make this call, but after thinking about it, he still gave up this idea, although Zhang Yang is his subordinate, but by no means an ordinary person, there are several powerful backers behind Zhang Yang, he and Zhang Yang have never been in contact in the past, and they don't know much about this young cadre, so it can be said that their first contact is impossible to carry out in a harmonious atmosphere, and may even produce contradictions, Gong Huanshan's principle in officialdom is that harmony is precious. A person who makes enemies everywhere in the officialdom is destined to not go far, and there is still a way to go in the career of returning the palace to the mountain, and he must be cautious in doing things.

When Zhang Yang received the call, he was on the way to Binhai County Brewery, he felt good about the Blue Ocean brand beer, I heard that the efficiency of Binhai County Brewery is very poor, and this year has been in arrears for half a year's wages for workers, so the Blue Ocean as a pilot for enterprise reform, Zhang Yang did things vigorously and resolutely, and immediately contacted Liu Jincheng, the director of Jiangcheng Distillery, and asked him to lead the backbone of the factory to come to the brewery to help with consultation, why does a company have such a good product, but the benefit is so low?

Zhang Yang didn't expect Gong Huanshan to take the initiative to call him, and Zhang Yang was still very polite to the mayor of Beigang City and deputy secretary of the Beigang Municipal Party Committee: "Mayor Gong, you're back!" Last time I went to the city, I wanted to visit you, but unfortunately you went to the capital. ”

Gong Huanshan smiled and said: "Xiao Zhang, I only came back from the capital yesterday, and I have already heard about you, and I am very motivated!" ”

Zhang Yang couldn't tell whether his words were derogatory or positive for a while, and smiled and said: "I just came here, I don't know anything, how can I live up to the expectations of the leader if I don't work hard." ”

"Good! Good! I just like a pragmatic and hard-working young cadre like you, if you are free today, come and talk! Gong Huanshan's tone made people feel very cordial, as if he was already familiar with Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang said: "Mayor Gong must be very busy when he came back just now, or I will wait for two days before I go." He vaguely guessed that Gong Huanshan was looking for him, and it had something to do with the removal of the county and the city. Although you are the mayor, I am not the one you call to come and go.

Gong Huanshan ate a soft nail from Zhang Yang, and couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, I am your superior, I summoned you over, you should run over in a hurry, you actually want to push it off, what do you say In two days, although you kid has someone to support you, but after all, this is on the ground in Beigang, and I am a dignified mayor of Beigang who still can't instruct you? Gong Huanshan said: "It's nothing, so let's wait for you in the office at half past two this afternoon." "Gong Huanshan originally saved enough face for Zhang Yang, but I didn't expect this kid to be so disobedient, since the soft one can't work, you can only come to the hard one, Lao Tzu asked you to come over, you have to come over to me!

Zhang Yang listened to Gong Huanshan talk about this, if he was pushing, it would be a little disrespectful, after all, he is the mayor, this face must be given, Zhang Yang smiled: "Half past two?" Mayor Gong, I have a lot of things on my hands, or else, three o'clock? I'll be there at three o'clock. ”

Gong Huanshan is so angry in his heart, bastard, bargain with me, if your father-in-law is not the secretary of the Pinghai Provincial Party Committee, Lao Tzu will talk to you so well? Gong Huanshan's tone turned cold obviously: "You can do it yourself!" With that, he hung up the phone.
