Liu Guozheng and others also hurriedly raised their wine glasses and toasted: "Boss, congratulations on your promotion, we will never forget your care for us over the years, and we will respect ......you together."

Zhao Mingde's face darkened, waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Don't put gold on my face, what a high ascension!" It's just to find a place for me to retire for the elderly, these days I can see it, and just a few of you are affectionate and righteous, and come to see me, an old man, those former mayors and former mayors who didn't stop calling guys can't even see the shadows, others say that people go to tea and are cold, I am cold before people leave tea......", said and raised his head and drank it all, it seems that Zhao Mingde has suffered a lot of idleness, no wonder he is in a bad mood.

Liu Guozheng and they are not easy to answer, this person's indifference is normal feeling, and it is even more so in officialdom, there are many people who tend to be inflammatory, even they will inevitably have some thoughts in their hearts, and it is impossible to treat Zhao Mingde as respectful as before.

Duan Zetao also picked up his glass and stood up to toast and said: "Uncle, I also respect you, I think it's a good thing to be able to see the people around me clearly, it's better than being sold in a daze, and I don't think the CPPCC is a place for the elderly, the working environment of the CPPCC is relatively relaxed, but how to play their own functions and roles is actually a promising ......."

Zhao Mingde smiled and said: "Zetao is right, but I am in love, alas, I don't talk about work, but I ...... to work."

The atmosphere of the whole dinner was quite good, bursts of hearty laughter from time to time, although Duan Zetao was a little anxious, but he also calmed down, and did not mention anything about wanting to know the inside story of the political situation in Xingzhou, although he didn't say much, but when he opened his mouth, he always had witty words, which made everyone present heartbroken.

Zhao Mingde has been secretly observing Duan Zetao, of course he knows the purpose of Duan Zetao's coming today, the reason why he said from the beginning that he didn't talk about work to block Duan Zetao's words was also a temptation, although there were rumors outside how powerful Duan Zetao was, but after all, it was just a rumor, young people were not too calm, if Duan Zetao was as impetuous as ordinary young people, he would definitely not be able to fight Yuan Zhinong's old fox, and he would not be able to help him by himself.

But when he saw Duan Zetao's calmness and calmness that was completely inconsistent with his age, he couldn't even see through it himself, and he was extremely keen to see things and reacted quickly, he was really a very powerful character, so he had an idea in his heart, and after the sixth round of drinking, he stood up and waved his hand to Liu Guozheng and the others: "If you want to have something, go back first, and continue to drink ...... if you have nothing to do."

After speaking, he turned his head and beckoned to Duan Zetao: "Zetao, I heard that you are also very good at antiques, and there are a few old gadgets in my study, you come with me to the study to appreciate ......."

Duan Zetao was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that Zhao Mingde was only afraid that it would be appropriate to teach him face-to-face, and sure enough, as soon as he followed Zhao Mingde into the study, Zhao Mingde did not take out any antiques, but sat on the sofa gracefully, looked at Duan Zetao with a smile and said: "Zetao, the position of the mayor of Xingzhou is not easy to sit on, it is like sitting on a volcanic crater, you have to be mentally prepared......."

Duan Zetao smiled bitterly: "I'm also having a headache, I'm just chasing ducks on the shelves, I can't help it, I'm just here, my eyes are completely black, and I'm about to ask my uncle for ......guidance."

Zhao Mingde waved his hand and said: "The general of the defeated army, how dare you speak bravely, Xingzhou's economy can't go up, I have responsibility, but it's impossible to say that I don't have resentment in my heart, Yuan Zhinong can't do the economy, but he is a good hand at internal fighting, most of the Standing Committee members are his people, even the government has also installed a lot of people, executive deputy mayor Hu Jianqiang is also his person, saying that the government is in charge of the economy, in fact, he has to intervene in everything, my mayor is simply a decoration, and now there is a problem but let me come to the thunder, do you say wrong?!" If you want to make a difference, you must first pass the level of Yuan Zhinong, or you will end up with me! ……”。

Duan Zetao had already heard that Zhao Mingde and Hu Zhinong had contradictions, but he didn't expect it to reach such a point where water and fire were incompatible, the reason why Zhao Mingde helped him so much was also to use his hand to fight Yuan Zhinong and breathe a sigh of relief, but Zhao Mingde has been operating in Xingzhou City for many years and has cultivated a certain amount of power, and he is not Yuan Zhinong's opponent, how can he fight, so he smiled bitterly: "But Secretary Yuan is the squad leader after all, and he is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, if he wants to press me, I can't stand it......."

Zhao Mingde smiled and said: "The hard top is definitely not good, you have to find a way to divide his forces, if you want to open up the situation, you must first grasp the right to speak on the Standing Committee, in the Standing Committee, Li Kenan, Minister of Organization, Cao Hongwen, Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee, Liu Xingzhou, Minister of Propaganda, Hu Jianqiang, Executive Deputy Mayor, and Xie Zili, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Development Zone, are all his confidants, and you can't win over the ......."

"However, Gong Hanchao, deputy secretary of the party and the masses, and Yuan Zhinong are also at odds with each other, Huang Aiguo, chairman of the CPPCC, has a good relationship with him, and the two have always advanced and retreated together, but these two old foxes have also become fine, and it is not easy for you to win them over, Chen Dongfeng, the full-time deputy secretary, was airborne from the central government, the background is very mysterious, and the personality is also more arrogant. He rarely expressed his opinions on the Standing Committee, and I couldn't figure out his character ......."

"Guozheng and Zitong are all pulled up by me, I will definitely support you, as long as you can win six votes on the Standing Committee, you can basically compete with Yuan Zhinong, in addition, you have to be especially careful of Executive Vice Mayor Hu Jianqiang, he is Yuan Zhinong's loyal dog, biting people is very vicious, there are several deputy mayors of the city government who also follow him, if you make trouble, it will be enough for you to drink a pot of ......."

Duan Zetao's head was big when he heard it, the pool of water in Xingzhou is really not ordinarily deep, the mountains are numerous, and the factions are mixed, just dealing with these relationships is complicated enough, how can he do anything, nodded and said: "Yes, if it wasn't for my uncle to mention it, I'm afraid that if I step on it, I will fall into it and won't be able to get out, in the past few years, Xingzhou's economic growth rate has been among the best, and the urban construction planning has also been very good. But since last year, the economic decline has been relatively fast, and what does my uncle think is the main problem? ......", Duan Zetao was afraid of irritating Zhao Mingde, so he gave him a high hat to wear first.

Sure enough, when this sensitive issue was mentioned, Zhao Mingde's complaint came, "The reason why the development of Xingzhou has developed so fast in the past few years is because I have adhered to my own governing idea of 'running the city', which was also discussed and approved by the Standing Committee. Now because of the impact of the international economic situation and national financial policies, the economy has declined, but the board has hit me on the head, which is not fair! ……”。
