The Chūn festival is approaching, and the streets of Qihe City become lively.

To the quiet Qihe Municipal Party Committee compound, there is no change. However, today's parking apron is full of all kinds of cars, and when you look at the license plate number, almost all of them are the first and second cars in various districts and counties.

The city is holding a year-end summary meeting.

In a small area, the secretaries of the party committees of all districts and counties and the heads of the districts and counties participated. Meetings like this are held at the end of each year. Among them, the meeting attended by the party and government leaders of various districts and counties was of the highest standard. These people are solid princes of the party.

The format of the meeting is a symposium.

Almost all of the members of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Committee attended the meeting. The large conference room of the municipal party committee office building was crowded and lively. Generally speaking, the atmosphere of such a meeting is not very tense and relatively relaxed. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it's a real power figure again, why do you have nothing to do with a straight face?

This year's summary meeting is different from previous years.

There was no trace of Guo Qinghua, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and chairman of the CPPCC.

Guo Qinghua retired from the second line two years ago and went from the mayoral position to the chairman of the CPPCC. At that time, Guo Qinghua's position as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee was still retained, and he was still ranked second in the ranking of the leaders of the municipal party committee, ahead of Mayor Zheng Meitang. This is an interesting situation, and it is rare in all parts of the province.

Zheng Meitang actually has more opinions in his heart, and the chief executive of other cities is ranked second in the party, so why can Mayor Zheng come to the third place aggrievedly? Mayor Zheng is not the kind of person who is open-minded. It's just that Guo Qinghua can't help but be a "comrade-in-arms" with him, and he can't say anything if he has an opinion, so he can only hold it in his heart.

Not long ago, after soliciting Guo Qinghua's own opinions, the provincial party committee dismissed Guo Qinghua from his post as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and made him chairman of the CPPCC. Guo Qinghua is 61 years old, and he has long passed the upper limit of the age limit for cadres at the department level. The people's congress and the CPPCC are better, and not too many people pay attention. Needless to say, in domestic officialdom, for a long time, serving in the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference meant stepping back from the second line. However, the composition of the municipal party committee has always attracted much attention, ranking second only to the first deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, even more so.

Since he has been dismissed from his post as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, Guo Qinghua will not attend today's meeting.

More or less lost.

Although birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, and people cannot live without retirement for a lifetime, Guo Qinghua worked in Qihe City all his life, serving as a major leading cadre for more than 20 years. With old qualifications, no one in Qihe City can match it. Suddenly, leaving the front line of power, loss is inevitable, and it takes a little time to slowly calm down and gradually get used to the new life of really retreating from the second line.

The meeting was not affected by Guo Qinghua's "disappearance".

At this meeting, Mayor Zheng Meitang unexpectedly praised the work of Yunhu County, and Mayor Zheng did not go through the motions in a formulaic manner, but really praised comprehensively, and spoke highly of the achievements made by Yunhu in the past two years. Especially to Comrade Fan Hongyu, secretary of the county party committee, he praised him.

Many of the "princes" who were originally a little absent-minded suddenly came to the god and looked at Mayor Zheng intently, and many people's eyes swirled on Fan Hongyu's face.

In the officialdom of Qihe City, Fan Hongyu and his family are both solid "outliers".

For example, at a meeting like today, which is attended by cadres with real power at and above the department level, Fan Hongyu and Gao Jie's young man seem to be incompatible with other comrades. Of all the people here, there is not even one under the age of forty, and Fan Hongyu is only twenty-seven years old.

There is a precedent for Mayor Zheng to praise Yunhu's work in public, and in any case, Yunhu's total economic output has jumped to the first place in the city. This is a solid achievement, and no one can deny the hard data and facts there. But Yunhu is Yunhu, Fan Hongyu is Fan Hongyu, Mayor Zheng deliberately "avoided" Fan Hongyu when he praised Yunhu in the past, at most he said that it was "under the leadership of the Yunhu County Party Committee and County Zhèngfǔ", and he brushed it off. The contradiction between Mayor Zheng and Secretary Fan is almost public, and everyone present knows about it.

Today's praise of Fan Hongyu by name is definitely the first time.

What's new?

Everyone's brains immediately started running at high speed, and "logical analysis and reasoning" began on this.

When things are abnormal, they are demons!

This is especially true in officialdom, and even more so between Zheng Meitang and Fan Hongyu.

At present, the overall situation of the country has undergone great changes. Last year, the supreme leader made a series of speeches during his southern tour, finally ending the year-long debate within the party on "what is the surname?" and defining the general policy of continuing to carry out in-depth reform and opening up.

The whole country immediately set off a round of in-depth reform and opening up.

Yunhu County's economic aggregate has grown substantially year after year, and its fiscal revenue and the per capita income of the people in the county have risen sharply at the same time, ranking first in the city and third in the province. In terms of growth rate alone, Yunhu County is the first in the province.

Against this background, it seems very reasonable that the mayor of a city in charge of economic construction highly praised the secretary of the Yunhu County Party Committee, whose economic development has been extraordinary.

If the two sides who praise and are praised are not Zheng Meitang and Fan Hongyu, then it is quite normal.

But who can come to this meeting today, who has a simple brain?

I always felt that something was wrong.

After the meeting ended, Zheng Meitang's secretary waited outside the conference room, walking with Fan Hongyu as if he was very casually, and said politely: "Secretary Fan, Mayor Zheng invites you to sit with him for a while, there is some work, Mayor Zheng wants to communicate with Secretary Fan." ”

In a tone of obvious negotiation, and with honorifics.

Since the mayor's secretary, he has never been so polite to the secretary of the county party committee.

"Okay."

Fan Hongyu smiled and bowed, and together with the secretary, went to the city zhèngfǔ office building.

"Comrade Hongyu is here? Come, come, please take a seat. ”

Zheng Meitang was obviously waiting for Fan Hongyu, who had been waiting on the side of the hospitality sofa for a long time, and as soon as Fan Hongyu entered the door, Mayor Zheng immediately got up and greeted Fan Hongyu with a smile.

Fan Hongyu was not polite, strode over, said a word of greeting to Zheng Meitang, and sat down with a golden knife.

Since Zheng Meitang became the mayor of Qihe, Fan Hongyu has also come to his office several times, as the secretary of the Yunhu County Party Committee, it is impossible for Fan Hongyu to "never get along" with the mayor in official affairs, which is unrealistic. Every time I come to Zheng Meitang, I sit across the desk, and everyone is serious and quite businesslike.

It was also the first time to talk in the sofa area.

Today, Mayor Zheng has made an exception to Secretary Fan one after another.

As for the reason, Fan Hongyu can also guess a little clue. A few months ago, there was a rumor that Yuan Liuyan, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, was going to be transferred to another province to serve as secretary of the provincial party committee. According to the news that Fan Hongyu got from the capital, the truth of this rumor is very high, and now it can basically be determined, and after the New Year, Secretary Yuan will go west. He served as the secretary of the provincial party committee of a province in southwest China.

In Fan Hongyu's memory, another world, this incident should have happened at the beginning of this year, but in this world, it was postponed for a whole year, I don't know what the reason is. Maybe it's because of the butterfly effect.

I just don't know if Yuan Liuyan's fate in this world will change because of this one-year delay.

Secretary Yuan, who seems to be in another world, finally planted a big fight.

However, Fan Hongyu didn't care much about this, after all, he was far away from him. In the end, whether Yuan Liuyan was planted or fought, or whether he died well, it did not have much impact on Secretary Fan.

But Zheng Meitang is obviously different from him, and it is impossible not to care.

"Come, Secretary Fan, smoke a cigarette."

Zheng Meitang picked up the latest formula Qingshan King cigarette on the coffee table and handed it to Fan Hongyu, who was more or less embarrassed, and didn't seem to be so used to being close to Fan Hongyu.

Fan Hongyu was very casual, took the cigarette, and took the initiative to light Zheng Meitang's fire.

"Secretary Fan, Yunhu has done a good job in the past two years, and has achieved very dazzling results, which are obvious to all. It has set an example for brother districts and counties to learn from, which is very remarkable. Especially the foundation of Yunhu, from the perspective of the whole city, is not very good, and it is even more remarkable to be able to achieve such results. ”

Zheng Meitang took two puffs of cigarette, and then praised Fan Hongyu again. But it always sounds like an "endorsement", a bit unnatural.

Fan Hongyu said humbly: "Mayor Zheng, Yunhu has been able to achieve a little success, mainly because of the leadership of the municipal party committee and city, and the comrades in the county work together, not the credit of any one person. ”

Zheng Meitang said with a smile: "That's true, but the train runs fast, and it all depends on the headband." The role of the main leader, especially the leader of the leader, is crucial. The agricultural product sales management model that your county took the lead in has played a good role in promoting it in the whole city, driving the city's agriculture, forestry and fishery by-products production and sales boom, and making great contributions to the city's economic construction. The city's finances have grown year after year, and Secretary Fan has made great contributions. ”

Mayor Zheng's praise for Secretary Fan is getting higher and higher.

Fan Hongyu said a few more modest words.

"Secretary Fan, I heard that you Yunhu intend to implement a nine-year compulsory education next year for free? Are you also ready to comprehensively clean up and cut off some unreasonable pooled funds and retention funds? ”

After highly praising Secretary Fan, Mayor Zheng followed the topic and asked very casually.

Fan Hongyu replied: "Yes, Mayor Zheng, we have this plan. Nine-year compulsory education is a goal that the state has long put forward. Because of the financial difficulties of the state, it has not been possible to make compulsory education truly free. Now that Yunhu's economic development is relatively fast, and there has been a certain amount of financial accumulation, I discussed it with the Qingping county magistrate or other comrades in the team, and planned to give it a try. Education is the foundation of the rejuvenation of the country, and the nine-year compulsory education is free of charge, which can also reduce the burden on the masses to a certain extent, and embody the advanced and superior nature of socialism. In addition, there are indeed many irrational places in the pooled funds and retention funds of various districts, towns and villages, and after the chūn festival, we plan to completely clean up and cut some unreasonable fees. zhèngfǔ can't compete with the people for profit. ”

PS: Thank you for the soaring reward! (To be continued.) )
