The banquet hall of Qingyuan Auditorium, with flowers and satin, bright lights, is full of joy.

The annual New Year's gathering between the municipal government and the business community was grandly held.

The dinner was presided over by Executive Vice Mayor Yi Haitao, and Mayor Zhu Minwen attended with the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, with the theme of thanking the city's large enterprises for their support to the government, looking back on the past and looking forward to the future, contacting feelings, and promoting cooperation between each other.

Among the 12 guests attending the banquet, the people invited to the banquet were all entrepreneurs with heads and faces in Qingyuan City, of which about 30 percent were responsible persons of well-known enterprises inside and outside the province that had investment projects in Qingyuan City, and 70 percent were big profits and taxes in Qingyuan City.

The dignitaries chatted and laughed with the invited business people.

Dressed in a red and floral cheongsam, the hostess held drinks and wine, shuttling back and forth between the banquet tables like butterflies wearing flowers.

More than a dozen major news organizations in Qingyuan City sent a strong lineup of interviews to the scene for interviews, and handsome men and beautiful women flocked to the scene, adding a few bright colors to the reception banquet.

Qingyuan Satellite TV's Xiang Wanqing and Qingyuan Radio's famous legs, as their respective masters, will naturally not be absent.

After exchanging business cards between the guests and hosts, greeting each other and raising glasses frequently, the business people focused on greeting and communicating with the officials of the municipal government.

Almost all of them were laughing, smiling professionally, but professionally infectious.

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance.

Yi Haitao undoubtedly became the central figure of this reception banquet, that is, he brought his wife Peng Huiying with the spring breeze, and toured between each banquet table one by one, toasting the business people who were invited to attend the banquet, winning bursts of applause.

Su Youyu powdered with light makeup, full of spring, followed closely behind Yi Haitao and his wife, smiling and adding wine to them, and smiling and whispering to Peng Huiying from time to time.

This is the first large-scale event that Su Youyu participated in after entering the municipal government office.

The event also showcased her exceptional organizational skills and PR skills. It can be seen that she has only been in the municipal government office for a few days, and she has not only won the favor of Yi Haitao, but also won the favor of his wife Peng Huiying.

Before the group meeting, a signing ceremony was held for the overall relocation of the instrument factory and the paper mill and the resettlement of workers, and Shen Guozhang, Chu Tianshu and other members of the command team were able to attend this year's group meeting.

Of course, the headquarters works with the Preparatory Office of the Development Zone, and also has the responsibility of attracting investment for the Development Zone, and strengthening contacts and contacts with people from the industrial and commercial circles is also one of their normal jobs.

Wu Mengdie of Lingyun Group, Wang Zhiyuan of Kunpeng Industry, and Qin Daming of Qingtian Real Estate are all frequent guests to the annual dinner party, while Wei Shijie of Century Sunshine has obtained a rare and valuable place in the name of the person in charge of the participating units of the development zone and the business circle, with the operation and help of Su Youyu.

Chu Tianshu was the lowest-ranking official in this banquet, and it was the first time for him to attend such a large-scale event, so he couldn't be too active, let alone overshadow the limelight of high-level officials, in that case, it would only arouse the suspicion of other officials.

Therefore, Chu Tianshu behaved extremely low-key, he only saluted the wine of the city leaders, and communicated more with the entrepreneurs who attended the banquet, and did not show that he had too much intersection with Wu Mengdie, Wang Zhiyuan, Wei Shijie and others, and kept a relative distance.

During this period, Chu Tianshu had a few brief exchanges with Wang Shaolei.

However, Wei Shijie was extremely active, and he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to constantly introduce his Century Sunshine Company to people from all walks of life, and had a hot fight with officials at all levels.

During the banquet, under Wang Shaolei's thousand-needle lead, Yi Haitao happily accepted an exclusive interview with Xiang Wanqing.

In the short time that Yi Haitao was interviewed, Diao Diu met Peng Huiying through Su Youyu, and the three women talked happily in a corner of the banquet hall.

Only Qin Daming, who was from Qingtian Real Estate, had a gloomy face most of the time, and he took the opportunity to toast to Tang Yifu, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Mayor Tang, what qualifications do they have to attend this kind of banquet for such a newly established company as Century Sunshine?" ”

"Mr. Qin, you shouldn't ask me about this, you should ask Yi Haitao." Tang Yifu looked impatient, dropped a sentence and walked away.

Qin Daming was unwilling, and found an opportunity for no one to whisper to Shen Guozhang: "Director Shen, the demolition construction of the business circle has all been entrusted to Century Sunshine, is it not as good as the strength of our Qingtian Real Estate as such a newly established company?" ”

Shen Guozhang shook his head in embarrassment, and asked rhetorically: "Mr. Qin, Wei Shijie and Chu Tianshu are classmates, you won't know the truth, right?" ”

Qin Daming said anxiously: "Director Shen, you are the commander." ”

Shen Guozhang clinked glasses with Qin Daming and said, "Mr. Qin, Chu Tianshu is now Yi's celebrity." ”

In fact, this is also the strategy of Shen Guozhang and Tang Yifu to discuss the good situation, that is, through the vigorous support of Century Sunshine Company, Qin Daming's bitter hatred for Chu Tianshu and Wei Shijie will be stimulated.

It worked.

Qin Daming touched two nails one after another, looked at Wei Shijie, who was frequently shuttling among government officials, and hated it: Fuck, you kid has just made his debut, and as soon as he made a move, he dug up the expansion project of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts School, and also robbed the demolition construction of the business circle that Lao Tzu had been eyeing for more than half a year. Hmph, don't fucking get complacent, we'll see.

The banquet hall is lively, the atmosphere is warm, the whole audience is always filled with festive harmony, wishes and blessings are endless, due to careful planning, careful preparation, coupled with the outstanding performance of Mayor Zhu Minwen and Yi Haitao and his wife, the reception banquet is beyond previous years in terms of cooperation results and harmony.

With the end of the reception banquet, Guo Zichun will be transferred to the vice governor of the neighboring province, Zhu Minwen will take over the post of secretary of the municipal party committee, and the news that Yi Haitao has been promoted to mayor has also spread.

However, Tang Yifu was calm and calm when discussing privately with Shen Guozhang, Hao Jiancheng, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, Mo Huaiyi, deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau, and other confidants.

The next day, Lin Guodong, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee, took a group of people to Qingyuan and announced that Mayor Zhu Minwen would replace Guo Zichun as secretary of the municipal party committee and would no longer serve as the mayor of Qingyuan City, and that the government work would be convened by Yi Haitao.

This is also a common practice, before the mayor is transferred or appointed separately, the internal mayoral candidate will act as the agent or preside over a period of government work, and it is not surprising that when the mayor is re-elected, it is not surprising that he will be directly appointed as acting mayor.

After the announcement, Yi Haitao, who was full of confidence, was not happy at all, but felt particularly awkward, how can it be called "convening" government work, not "presiding" or "acting" the mayor's position? He wanted to ask Lin Guodong behind his back, but at the end of the year, there were frequent cadre adjustments, he only talked with Zhu Minwen for about half an hour, and did not arrange to meet Yi Haitao alone, so he left in a hurry.

For such an arrangement, most of the city leaders did not pay too much attention to it, and still congratulated Yi Haitao one after another.

However, Yi Haitao, as a party to the case, felt that things were a little unbelievable, and after sending Lin Guodong away, Zhu Minwen and Yi Haitao had a simple handover of government work, and Yi Haitao couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.

Zhu Minwen took a sip of the tea presented by Yi Haitao and muttered: "Minister Lin didn't talk to me about this, but I think the provincial party committee probably has the provincial party committee's considerations." Haitao, don't worry too much, I'll help you ask Minister Lin when I have time. Personally, I think it's good to use the word 'conven', which is low-key, so as not to be too public, too eye-catching, and have an unnecessary negative impact on the general election. ”

Zhu Minwen's words were lukewarm, Yi Haitao had to say: "Convene, convene, please rest assured, no matter what, during my work in convening the government, I will fulfill my duties, strive to do my own work, and never disappoint the ardent expectations of the provincial party committee and Secretary Zhu." ”

After Zhu Minwen moved into the secretary's office, the municipal government office planned to arrange for Yi Haitao to move into the mayor's office.

That night, there were rumors in Qingyuan officialdom that when the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee decided who would take over the post of mayor and convene the work of the Qingyuan Government, they had different opinions, and He Tianying, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and others had mentioned Tang Yifu's name.

In officialdom, all kinds of rumors are spread almost every day, and no one can verify how much truth there is. However, many times, rumors that seem untrustworthy often become facts later.

Yi Haitao's mood was inevitably a little low, thinking that it must be Tang Yifu's ghost behind him, otherwise things would not have become so delicate.

However, Yi Haitao quickly adjusted his mentality: since the provincial party committee has decided to let himself convene the government work, at least he has seized the opportunity in the competition, as long as he works diligently during the convening work and makes some tangible achievements, he can completely transform the current lead into the most difficult victory.

Fortunately, the early planning was not in vain, and the preparation for the construction of the Jiangbei Development Zone and the construction of the business circle along the Yangtze River are the two best political achievements in front of Yi Haitao.

Therefore, after consultation with Zhu Minwen, he made a bold decision at the first meeting of the government work chair, in view of the substantial progress made in the demolition work, the preparatory group of the Jiangbei Development Zone and the construction headquarters of the business and trade circle along the Yangtze River will no longer be co-located.

Yi Haitao thought that Tang Yifu would set up resistance, but to his surprise, Tang Yifu was the first to agree.

Since the opinions are basically unified, Yi Haitao proposed to discuss the proposed plan for personnel arrangements by the way.

This discussion was naturally a good thing for Chu Tianshu, but there were still disagreements.
