Duan Zetao called Zhang Xiaochuan when he was on the road, wanting to find out the bottom of the new county party secretary Hu Qidong, after all, he, the county magistrate, will work under the leadership of the county party secretary in the future, and if the county party secretary wants to make a stumbling block for himself, it will be difficult for him to do something practical.

Zhang Xiaochuan received a call from Duan Zetao and said with a smile: "What? Duan boy, are you still worried? Comrade Hu Qidong is Secretary Sun's favorite general, he is more politically mature than you, and he is also very good at economic work, so you should cooperate well with him and strive to boost the Gulin economy ...... an early date."

It turns out that this Hu Qidong is also a dazzling political star in Shannan officialdom, graduated from Yenching University, was Sun Xianglong's secretary when he was still the secretary of the county party committee, and won Sun Xianglong's respect, and later served as the secretary of the township party committee, with remarkable achievements, at the age of 25, he became the county magistrate of Shaoyong County, Shannan, and was the youngest county magistrate in the province at that time.

Hu Qidong also performed very well in the appointment of Shaoyong County magistrate, he used the rich aquatic and grass resources of Shaoyong County, introduced the ru industry giant Xinguang Ru industry, and adopted the company + farmer model, so that the per capita income of Shaoyong County quadrupled in two years, and the GDP growth rate ranked eighth in the province. The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has never received a report letter about him, which is very rare, you must know that Lu Dao's report letter about Duan Zetao can't even fit in a drawer!

After Duan Zetao made the call, he had the bottom in his heart, it seems that this Secretary Hu is a character who is exquisite and has a deep city, but as long as he doesn't make a stumbling block for himself, he doesn't mind living in peace with him, after all, he is not Li Hao's natural 'battle maniac'.

Sitting in the car bound for Gulin, Hu Qidong remembered the conversation between Sun Xianglong and himself before leaving.

"Qidong, this time to send you to Gulin as the secretary of the county party committee, is a decision I made after thinking for a long time, Gulin County magistrate Duan Zetao is a very good cadre, dare to fight, is a rare tiger general, the economy is a good hand, the only drawback, is too exposed, easy to offend people, I think you and him, a rigid and soft, rigid and soft, will definitely be able to get the economy of Gulin up, for Duan Zetao, you have to use his advantages, tolerate his shortcomings, pay attention to tolerance is not connivance! When he is irrational, you have to point it out in time, don't let him poke a big mess ......".

The name Duan Zetao, Hu Qidong can be said to have heard of it a long time ago, and they all say that he has great powers, is arrogant, and is not easy to get along with, the former county magistrate and secretary of Gulin County was made down by him, and he has no bottom in his heart for partnering with such a controversial figure, although he is low-key and exquisite, he is not without principles.

When he arrived at the boundary of Gulin, he didn't see the welcoming team, he was a little drumming in his heart, it seems that the rumors are true, this Duan Zetao is really very personal, even if he doesn't greet himself as the secretary of the county party committee, there is also Minister Zhang Xiaochuan of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, but Zhang Xiaochuan doesn't seem to have any displeasure, and the car drives directly to the county party committee compound.

When I arrived at the compound of the county party committee, I saw a tall and handsome young man leading a group of people to greet him at the door, presumably this young man was the famous Duan Zetao, who was very peaceful and calm from the outside, not like the legendary unbeatable spirit.

The car stopped, Duan Zetao immediately stepped forward quickly, took the initiative to help Zhang Xiaochuan open the car door, and said with a smile: "Welcome Minister Zhang to Gulin to guide the work!" After a few polite words with Zhang Xiaochuan, Duan Zetao looked at Hu Qidong behind him again, and carefully looked at his future partner.

Hu Qidong has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square Chinese face, very attractive, a well-proportioned and tall figure, a pair of bright eyes, looks very capable, and the corners of his mouth are always slightly upturned, giving people a very cordial feeling.

Duan Zetao hurriedly stretched out his hands enthusiastically, "This is Secretary Qidong, I can breathe a sigh of relief when you come, everyone also has the backbone, these days the government and county party committee are running on both sides, but I am tired enough." ”。

Seeing that Duan Zetao was so humble, Hu Qidong had a little more affection for him in his heart, thinking that this Duan Zetao was not as arrogant as rumored outside, and hurriedly held Duan Zetao's hand tightly and said: "Comrade Zetao has worked hard, I am new to the city, and I don't understand the situation, so I have to ask the county magistrate Zetao to bother more about work." ”。

Zhang Xiaochuan saw that the two met for the first time, they had a tacit understanding, and they were very happy, and said with a smile: "One of you is the youngest county magistrate in Shannan, and the other is the youngest secretary of the county party committee in Shannan. ”。

When they arrived at the conference room, Zhang Xiaochuan first read out the letter of appointment of the Organization Department of the Shannan City CPC Committee on appointing Hu Qidong as secretary of the Gulin County CPC Committee, and then made some words of encouragement, followed by Hu Qidong's speech, which was very brief.

"Thank you for the trust in me in the organization, the leadership team of Gulin is a team with combat effectiveness, and I will ask you to support my work in the future, and everyone will work together to carry out the work of Gulin, thank you!"

On behalf of the existing team members, Duan Zetao welcomed Hu Qidong's arrival, and expressed his resolute support for the decision of the Shannan Municipal Party Committee, closely rallying around Secretary Hu Qidong, and striving to realize the economic take-off of Gulin as soon as possible.

Sending Zhang Xiaochuan away, Hu Qidong came to his office, Ma Xianlong, director of the county party committee office, came to ask for instructions on his accommodation, vehicles, secretary and driver arrangements, Hu Qidong said that he had just come, let him watch the office, Ma Xianlong just left, Duan Zetao knocked on the door and came in.

"Secretary Hu, let me report to you some of the work in the county some time ago, as well as some of my thoughts and plans for the county's economic work!"

Hu Qidong couldn't help but sigh that the rumors were not credible, Duan Zetao could take the initiative to report to him, indicating that he still respected himself as a secretary, not as rumored to be in his eyes, he quickly stood up, asked Duan Zetao to sit down on the sofa, and made tea himself, then said with a smile: "I have long heard that the county magistrate Zetao is a good hand in economic work, and even Secretary Zhao of the provincial party committee has personally praised him, I have to learn more from you and ask for advice!" ”。

Duan Zetao reported to Hu Qidong about his plans and ideas for the economic development of Gulin, and told Hu Qidong that he had reached a preliminary investment intention with Tong Debo's Longteng Group, and that Longteng Group would send a working group to come down in the next two days.

After listening to Duan Zetao's report, Hu Qidong secretly admired it in his heart, thinking that it really deserved his name, this Duan Zetao really had two brushes, and the ideas and planning ideas put forward were very in line with the actual situation of Gulin, and his impression of Duan Zetao had also completely changed.

He also put forward some constructive suggestions on Duan Zetao's economic development plan, which made Duan Zetao look at him with admiration, and his opinions were all mentioned on the point, which showed that Secretary Hu was also very good at economic work, so that Duan Zetao suddenly found a sense of bosom friend.

After talking about work, both of them felt that the distance was much closer all of a sudden, Hu Qidong personally sent Duan Zetao to the door, took his hand and said: "Comrade Zetao, I am here to make a statement, the government is in charge of the economy, and the government's mess will be all entrusted to you, I will never interfere indiscriminately, you just have to be bold to do it, I will be a good housekeeper and logistics minister for you, what is the basket, I will bear it with you, let's divide labor and cooperate, I believe that Gulin will be able to quickly get out of the trough and achieve a new leap!" ”。

Two days later, the working group of Longteng Group came down, and it was Tong Debo who personally led the team, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter, and Hu Qidong except for personally accompanying him during the meal, expressing the importance of the county party committee to this matter, and other things are really not involved at all, and he has made it clear that he will not take credit with Duan Zetao.

The development zone was planned a few years ago, the work of 'three links and four flats' was done very well, Zhang Xinxian organized the team to remove the weeds that grew out, and the whole development zone took on a new look, Tong Debo was very satisfied, and immediately signed a letter of intent for investment with the development zone, and formally sent the preparatory team to Gulin, and the Gulin County Government finalized the details of the investment, and signed a formal investment agreement, and immediately began the construction of the first phase of the project.

At the end of '99, when the century was about to cross, Jiang Xiaoxue called, saying that the class was organizing a class reunion, and asked Duan Zetao if he would participate, Duan Zetao thought that he hadn't seen his classmates for a long time, and he also missed it a little in his heart, and the work of the development zone was now on the right track, so he asked Hu Qidong for leave and went to the provincial capital to attend the class reunion.
