No. 1 Office Building, Compound of the West Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, Office of the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.

Lu Chuan coughed violently, and the cigarette caught in his fingertips trembled with his violent coughing movements, and the ashes of the cigarette were scattered on his fingers and on the floor.

He coughed violently and attentively, the handkerchief in his left hand covered his lips tightly, and on the desk in front of him lay an old economic magazine, coughing one after another coming from the depths of his throat, which was unbearable.

Looking at Yang Xueguang's paper in the magazine, Lu Chuan's heart could not suppress a trace of sadness, and he vaguely had a feeling of a tiger falling into Pingyang, he didn't think that the Yang family in the capital would be great, even if the Yang family was at the peak of the power of the republic decades ago, it would definitely not be able to cover the sky in the court, not to mention that Du Ming, as the commander of the provincial military region, pointed fingers at the work of the provincial party committee!

He thought that he would teach Du Ming a lesson in the provincial party committee, and let this guy be honest in the future, but he never dreamed that the sound of letting him enter Beijing at this time was getting more and more intense, as a person who has been in the officialdom for decades, he naturally understands what the truth behind this rumor is!

Lu Chuan knew that this time it was definitely the old man of the Yang family who was in his last years, coupled with the fact that the country was about to develop the western region, western Sichuan, as one of the most important provinces in the west, was definitely fat in the eyes of all factions in the party.

Unwilling, unwilling!

The cough gradually subsided, Lu Chuan raised his hand and stuffed the cigarette into his mouth and took a hard puff, the thick smoke quickly jumped into his internal organs, and his chest and abdomen quickly became comfortable, and immediately, a more intense cough desire quickly rose!

The phone in the center of the desk suddenly vibrates.

Lu Chuan put down the handkerchief in his left hand, reached out and grabbed his mobile phone and glanced at it, the expression on his face immediately became solemn, and he quickly connected the phone: "Hey, hello! ”

A concise voice came from the microphone: "Hey, hello, Secretary Lu Chuan of Western Sichuan, I'm Liu Hanyuan of the State Council!" ”

"Secretary Liu, hello!"

Lu Chuan coughed a few times, he didn't avoid the microphone of the mobile phone, he just wanted Liu Hanyuan to know that Sichuan West could have today because of Lu Chuan's hard work!

It's just that he also understands in his heart that although Liu Hanyuan is Premier Hu Hanqing's secretary, he may not say anything more for him in front of the prime minister, but even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he still wants to fight for it!

"Secretary Lu, it's hard work, take care of your health!"

There was silence for a moment on the microphone, and Liu Hanyuan's soft voice comforted: "Secretary Lu, the prime minister wants to say a few words to you!" ”

Fortunately, fortunately, at least the prime minister's secretary still has some sympathy for me, Lu Chuan felt a slight feeling of masturbation in his heart, and then, his eyes froze, when did he become so Ah Q?

"Lu Chuan, what's wrong with you, I can hear your coughing sound here!" A somewhat familiar sonorous voice came from the microphone, and Lu Chuan knew that it was Prime Minister Hu Hanqing speaking.

"Prime Minister, thank you for your concern, I'm fine, I just smoked a cigarette and I feel that my throat and eyes are very blocked!" Lu Chuan smiled, but his heart sank, Prime Minister Hu Hanqing called him not on an office phone but on a mobile phone, and he immediately understood that this time the old man of the Yang family who was about to die was angry!

"I remember that you quit smoking for a few months, why did you smoke again, and your body is not very good, I think, this time you just took the opportunity to come to the capital!"

Hu Hanqing's voice vaguely revealed a hint of helplessness, obviously, Lu Chuan was forced to leave western Sichuan in embarrassment when the State Council was about to engage in the development of the western region, but this time, the old Yang family was really mad, and the returnees showed great enthusiasm for the development of the western region, and the academics also wanted to take this opportunity to show their skills, and they didn't want to make people feel that the academics were all talking about the goods, etc., the situation is becoming more and more complicated! …,

At this time, the best choice is for Lu Chuan to leave western Sichuan, and the only way to protect Lu Chuan is to give up the territory of western Sichuan.

"Prime Minister, I don't have to worry about going to the west of Sichuan!"

Lu Chuan sighed, holding the mobile phone in his left hand, extinguishing the cigarette with his right hand and slowly stood up, and after a violent cough, he got up and walked to the windowsill, his deep eyes passed through the glass, watching the withered yellow leaves in the courtyard shivering in the cold wind, and his heart was once again filled with a sadness of the end of the world.

Lu Chuan raised his head, looked through the clouds, looked at the towering mountains in the distance, and suddenly had a very reluctant feeling in his heart, regardless of merit or demerit, it is a fact that he has worked hard for western Sichuan for decades!

"If you can't put it down, you have to put it down! I heard that your cough is very serious, so let's come to the capital as soon as possible to take a look, and I'll let Xiao Liu arrange it for you! ”

Hu Hanqing's voice paused, and then he said: "Comrade Lu Chuan, the central authorities are generally satisfied with your performance in western Sichuan over the years, so don't think that you will be idle when you enter Beijing!" ”

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your concern!"

Lu Chuan smiled bitterly, when the country was about to engage in the development of the western region, he left western Sichuan in embarrassment, can he still expect the central government to re-entrust him with important tasks?

"Comrade Lu Chuan, the Central Committee is ready to hand over the work of the people's congress to you in consideration of your physical condition, first, the work of the people's congress is easier than that of the province below, and second, it is also necessary to take into account some ideas of other comrades in the party!"

"It's already a violation of discipline for me to call you in advance today, do you have any ideas?"

"Prime Minister, I resolutely obey the arrangements of the Central Committee!"

Lu Chuan replied loudly, his left hand, which was holding the phone, trembled slightly, his two cloudy eyes flashed, and his eyes moistened.

Longtou Town, Qishan County, in a private room on the second floor of a restaurant facing the street.

"Lao Wang, your business is good, much better than me, I should have listened to you at the beginning, now it's okay, not only did I owe me a few years of project money, I want to use the project money to help people offset agricultural taxes, this is forcing me to go to a dead end!"

A middle-aged man with a slightly bald forehead and a haggard face picked up a wine glass in front of him, raised his neck and drank it all, the liquor entered his throat, and his face became more and more ruddy.

"Lao Ning, be quiet!" A middle-aged man with a slab head shook his head gently, pricked up his ears to inquire about the surrounding movements, and then said in a low voice: "Lao Ning, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing!" ”

"Lao Wang, what are you afraid of, your son is now the celebrity in front of Secretary Xu in the town, and now he is an official, right?" Lao Ning stared at the board head opposite him with two red rabbit eyes: "Zhou Yufang covers the sky with one hand, and he has to give Xu Daming, the secretary, some face!" ”

Lao Wang smiled, with a hint of smugness on his face: "Lao Ning, what you said is too exaggerated, my family was just a director of the agricultural office when I was young, that is, an errand boy!" ”

His voice paused, and a look of vigilance flashed in his eyes: "Lao Ning, there must be evidence for what you said, otherwise, Dakou will not let you go easily, do you know why he is so bullish?" ”

Lao Ning raised his head when he heard this, the eyes of the two rabbits became more and more red, his neck was stalked, and the green tendons on his neck bloomed: "Lao Wang, I know that if his younger brother who is the mayor of the town is not qualified to be so good, there is someone behind him!" ”

His voice paused slightly, and he whispered: "I heard that Jiang Haifeng, secretary of the county party committee, has a good relationship with his younger brother, but I heard a message a few days ago!" ”

"Oh, what's the news?"

Lao Wang was stunned when he heard this, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Dakou Shen seems to have hooked up with the son of a big official in the province last year, you see that Zhou Yufang has become more and more unscrupulous for more than a year, otherwise, he wouldn't dare to lend him a hundred leopard guts!" …,

Lao Ning's eyes were a little disdainful, but he said with some envy, and picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

"The son of a provincial official? No, how could a small businessman know the son of a big official, wouldn't it be Dakou who bragged about himself? ”

Lao Wang pursed his lips in disbelief, picked up the wine glass and lowered his head to drink.

"Why is it not true, I went to Dakou to ask for the project money that day, and when I heard him call, he asked that person to take care of his younger brother Zhou Yufang, and he called that person Guo Gongzi on the phone!"

Lao Wang was stunned: "Guo Gongzi? Where did anyone call that name? ”

"Lao Wang, Lao Wang, you are outdated!" Lao Ning laughed and said, "Now they call the sons of those who are big officials sons!" ”

"Oh, that's right, that means that this surnamed Guo is the son of a provincial official!" Lao Wang also nodded, and Lao Ning smiled: "It's not just that, then Guo Gongzi seems to have done a smooth job of promoting cadres, as if he has promoted many people!" ”

"Hey, don't talk about it, drink, drink, anyway, this is the matter of those who are officials and has nothing to do with us!" Lao Wang picked up the wine glass and took a sip, stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a chopstick chicken, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

"Lao Wang, thank you, I'll pay next time!"

Lao Ning staggered away with a wine burp, and Lao Wang waved goodbye to him, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes

Lao Wang turned around and walked home, his home was at the other end of the town's market, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw his son Wang Shi pushing his bicycle and walking back.

Since this kid became the director of the town's agricultural office, he has gradually become a bit of an official, and he must burn more paper money for his ancestors on the Qingming Festival, and bless our old Wang family to produce a big official!

Wang Shi also saw his father, and simply threw the bicycle downstairs: "Dad, I'm hungry!" ”

"Then go back to eat, your mother should have cooked a meal, I ate in the restaurant with your old Uncle Ning just now!" A kind smile appeared on Lao Wang's face.

"Uncle Ning?"

Wang Shi was stunned for a moment, looked up at Lao Wang, but saw Lao Wang nodded, and said softly: "It's the old Uncle Ning who was deceived by partnering with Dakou to do business!" "Min
