It was already more than four in the afternoon when the flight arrived at Hongzhou Airport, and everyone was busy at the airport for a while, and finally the greetings were over. Shang Weizheng, accompanied by Rong Qigao, boarded the No. 1 car of the provincial party committee, and the long convoy headed towards the urban area.

In the car, there is not much political discourse.

Rong Qigao personally served as the "commentator", pointed to the buildings and areas on the side of the road, and introduced to him the various changes that have taken place in Hongzhou City in the past few years, and sighed and said: "Shang Lao, in the years of reform and opening up, the changes in Hongzhou are still relatively large, the scale of the urban area has more than doubled, and the urban weather is very different from before. ”

Shang Weizheng said: "Secretary Rong, urban development is a good thing, and making the people's lives better and richer is the goal that our party has been striving for. However, Secretary Rong, with all due respect, economic construction must be subordinated to the overall situation and carried out on the premise of unswervingly following the socialist road. It is not enough to have money, the building of the cadre contingent and the faith of the masses are even more important. What we want to build is a happy and prosperous socialist country. ”

In the past, when he was secretary of the provincial party committee, he often attended important meetings convened by the central authorities with Rong Qigao, and most of them also adhered to his current view.

Rong Qigao's eyebrows frowned slightly, then he stretched out and said: "Of course, unswervingly taking the socialist road is one of the most basic principles. ”

I can't help but feel a little tired in my heart.

I know that you are a "minister" and that you are disgusted with everything that is not socialist, but you should also listen to the opinions of other comrades. You must know that this is Qingshan, and I am the secretary of the Qingshan Provincial Party Committee!

How to carry out the work of Tsingshan depends on my opinions from Rong Qigao. Even if the top management finally made a stern conclusion on the restructuring of state-owned enterprises in the Yanhua area, it was only a small problem that occurred in a corner. If we want to judge that the economic construction work of the entire Qingshan has deviated from the direction, I am afraid that it may not be possible.

This attitude is still in politics. Rong Qigao had no "passion", and then, the car became very quiet.

The two big men were thinking about their own thoughts, and neither of them spoke much.

According to the prior communication between the investigation team and Qingshan Province, after the investigation team arrived in Hongzhou, it was already late, so they first went to the Qingshan Hotel to stay at the Qingshan Hotel, take a short rest, attend the reception dinner held by Qingshan Province, and then have a good rest. Early tomorrow morning, rush to Yanhua.

When the motorcade was about to arrive at the Qingshan Hotel, Shang Weizheng raised objections. said: "Secretary Rong, since Comrade Qiu Mingshan and several other responsible comrades in the Yanhua area have arrived, I think let's have a meeting after dinner, and then we can understand the basic situation first." ”

After the investigation team arrived, it listened to the reports of the local party and government leaders. It's a fixed process. Arriving in Yanhua, this debriefing meeting is also to be held. Shang Weizheng wanted to shorten the process and make the most of the time.

Rong Qigao said: "Old, won't this be too hard? How about a special meeting tomorrow to report on the situation? ”

Shang Weizheng waved his hand. Haha smiled and said, "Secretary Rong, don't underestimate me." I'm old, and my body is pretty good, so let's hurry up. Anyway, listening to the report, it's not too strenuous. ”

Since Shang Weizheng is so insistent, it is inconvenient for Rong Qigao to object. Smile and say yes.

Qingshan Hotel has already swept the courtyard and renovated it. "Be prepared". When the convoy arrived, Rong Qigao ordered to go down, and the entire hotel immediately "operated" at high speed.

The dinner was more sumptuous, but not luxurious, only the wine was aged Moutai. In any case, the identities of Shang Weizheng and the other members of the investigation team are there, even if only Xue Yimin or Yang Yishi leads the team alone, the reception cannot be too simple.

Shang Weizheng was very modest, and before the banquet began, he stated that he still had work at night, and he only drank three glasses of wine. Of course, Shang Weizheng also said that this rule is for himself, and other comrades do not have to abide by it, they can do as they please.

But this is just a polite remark, he only drinks three cups, how can other comrades really drink happily?

It's not like I've never seen wine!

If you really drink too much on this occasion, it is not a simple matter of foreign appearance, and if you don't do it well, it will affect your future prospects.

With a rule of only three glasses of wine, the dinner was not very long. As Shang Weizheng said to Rong Qigao just now, although he is over seventy years old, his health is indeed great, and after drinking three glasses of wine, he immediately picked up the bowl and ate a big bowl of rice, and his appetite was quite good. As soon as he put down his chopsticks here, Rong Qigao also followed suit, and other cadres put down their chopsticks one after another. It is estimated that many people are not full, especially Fan Hongyu, a "foodie" with a huge stomach, where is a bowl of rice enough to fill their stomachs?

But at this time, naturally no one cares about this.

What's more, Fan Hongyu had already prepared, and the time for Shang Weizheng to eat the next bowl of rice was enough for him to eat three bowls. Anyway, the one they sat on

The tables are all "their own people", and there are no comrades in the investigation team, and they are all accompanied by big people! Director Fan doesn't need to pay too much attention to his image.

After the dinner, a short rest, seven o'clock, the report meeting was held on time in the conference room of Qingshan Hotel.

All those who went to the airport to participate in the greeting procession, except for the driver and some secretaries, all the leading cadres attended the briefing meeting. Cao Cheng, Zheng Meitang, and Fan Hongyu, the three secretaries of the main leaders of the provincial party committee, also attended the meeting as observers and served as recorders.

Naturally, this is also a name, and there are also real recorders arranged. The three secretaries will certainly take notes, but the weight of the records will inevitably vary.

In the end, the real recorders of the Standing Committee Office of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee will sort out the meeting minutes.

In the conference room, the seating is not completely arranged according to the level of the position. Qiu Mingshan, Fan Weiguo, Yue Xiting, and other leading cadres in the Yanhua area were placed in more conspicuous positions. Since Shang Weizheng came to investigate the restructuring of state-owned enterprises in Yanhua, the reporting work naturally had to be completed by Yanhua's cadres.

Shang Weizheng and Rong Qigao sat side by side in the chairman's position at the conference table, and Rong Qigao's position was slightly one to show respect for Shang Weizheng.

The meeting was presided over by Rong Qigao himself.

Because it was a formal debriefing meeting, the atmosphere in the room became more serious as soon as the meeting began, and everyone was sitting in a precarious position.

Rong Qigao made a simple impromptu speech and extended a warm welcome to Shang Weizheng and the investigation team to visit Qingshan; He expressed his heartfelt thanks to the central authorities for their concern and support, and then invited Shang Weizheng to speak.

Shang Weizheng's chest straightened, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Thank you Secretary Rong and the comrades of Qingshan for their warm reception, I and the comrades of the investigation team came to Qingshan this time to investigate the restructuring of Yanhua's state-owned enterprises. During this period, the State Commission for the Reform of the State System and other national ministries and commissions have received a lot of feedback, which reflects some problems in the ongoing reform of state-owned enterprises in Yanhua, some of which are quite serious. For the sake of prudence, the central authorities decided to send me, Comrade Xue Yimin, Comrade Yang Yishi, and several other comrades to Qingshan to have a look on the spot and learn about the real situation of the restructuring of Yanhua's state-owned enterprises. The investigation has not yet begun, so I will not say much about it here -- without the investigation, there is no right to speak -- Comrade Yanhua, please give a brief introduction to the basic situation. ”

Rong Qi raised his head, his eyes fell on Qiu Mingshan's face, and said gently: "Comrade Mingshan, then please talk about it first." ”

For Qiu Mingshan, Rong Qigao has no good impression. This person has never been Secretary Rong's "direct cronies", when Lei Yungang was in office, Qiu Mingshan was Lei Yungang's "courage", and everyone in the province knew it. Later, by mistake, Qiu Mingshan wrote an article that "broke up" with Lei Yungang, and it seemed that he had changed his court and invested in Rong Qigao's "disciples". But later facts proved that this was just some kind of strategy of Qiu Mingshan, based on an accurate judgment of the overall political situation in the future. Regardless of what measures Rong Qigao took, as a certain superfigure at the top left his post in disgrace, Lei Yungang was also transferred out of Qingshan Province, but Qiu Mingshan "survived" because of this, and it is said that he was favored by a certain high-level bigwig, which made many cadres who were waiting to see the joke fall to the ground.

Then You Limin arrived, Qiu Mingshan didn't seem to "think about it", so he moved closer to You Limin. At present, the whole province has classified Qiu Mingshan into You Limin's "camp".

But Rong Qigao, as the secretary of the provincial party committee, can't be so narrow-minded. No matter how strong the secretary of the provincial party committee is, it is impossible to achieve "unification of the whole country", there are so many cadres in the province, and the governing philosophy is not the same, that is certain. Besides, the secretary of the provincial party committee is really "unified", but I am afraid that the high-level may not be very happy to see it.

There are checks and balances to power.

Although, many times, this checks and balances do not arise from the need for "delusional politics", but from the need for a higher power game.

As long as Rong Qigao is on any day, all the major events that happen in Qingshan Province, whether good or bad, are related to him, and the credit must be credited to his head.

At least when facing Shang Weizheng and the investigation team, Rong Qigao and Qiu Mingshan were "comrades-in-arms" standing in the same trench.

The problems of Thanh Peak Province are best solved internally.

Rong Qigao's status determines that his thinking will inevitably be in this direction. As for the other leaders of the provincial party committee, it is difficult to say. Therefore, although Rong Qigao ostensibly kicked the "ball" to You Limin, he has actually been paying close attention to the progress of this matter. Sending Cao Cheng to Yanhua to investigate in person, and acting as a "commentator" for Shang Weizheng in the car just now are all direct manifestations of his close attention.

It's just that the effect doesn't seem to be ideal.

The calm expressions of You Limin, Qiu Mingshan and even Fan Weiguo, Yue Xiting and others made Rong Qigao feel a little more at ease in his heart.

These people, even the young Fan Hongyu, are not fuel-efficient lamps. In the face of such thunderous pressure, they will certainly take effective measures.

Let's see.
