It was Liu Bingyun, secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee, followed by a middle-aged man.

Xu Haodong greeted the guests warmly, "Lao Liu, I just came back from the Provincial Party Committee Building, and I was about to look for you." ”

"I'm not invited." Liu Bingyun first introduced his companions, "Haodong, this is my new partner, Yu Siyang, acting mayor of Haizhou City, the former National Development and Reform Commission, please take care of me in the future." Siyang, this is the famous Xu Haodong, secretary of the Yunling Municipal Party Committee. ”

Xu Haodong and Yu Siyang shook hands warmly and said a lot of clichés to each other.

After sitting down, Xu Haodong saw Liu Bingyun holding a map in his hand, so he asked curiously, "Old Liu, what are you doing with a map?" ”

Liu Bingyun glanced at Xu Haodong, and said angrily: "Nonsense, you have robbed my territory, don't I have to take a look?" ”

Xu Haodong immediately accompanied a smiling face, "The integration of the four cities, the integration of the four cities." ”

Liu Bingyun ignored Xu Haodong, spread out the map, and said to Siyang while pointing: "Well, this is the Haizhou River, which originates in the Qingshan Mountains, first go north, leave the Qingshan Mountains and enter Qingshan County." Then he turned around in Nanhe County, suddenly turned 180 degrees to the south, continued south along the edge of the Qingshan Mountains, and then entered Nanjiang District eastward. After entering Nanjiang District, the Haizhou River goes all the way to the west, exits Nanjiang District and enters Xihe District, turns north from Wanghai Mountain in Xihe District into the urban area, and finally joins the East China Sea. ”

Xu Haodong heard the signs next to him, "Lao Liu, what do you mean?" What do you want? ”

Liu Bingyun continued to ignore Xu Haodong and continued to say to Siyang: "Historically, the Haizhou River is the natural dividing line between Haizhou and Yunling, and in the fifties and sixties of the last century, the ten townships south of the Haizhou River, now Xihe District and Nanjiang District, belonged to the jurisdiction of Yunling County. Therefore, the transfer of those ten townships to Yunling City is not only the return of the land to the original owner, but also not our burden. And more importantly, over the years, the old residents of those ten towns have been hoping to return to the embrace of Yunling City, let's be a favor. ”

Xu Haodong was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Lao Liu, you can figure it out, what we want is only two townships and one town in Xihe District, Dapo Township, Qifeng Township, and Mango Township, and we don't want anything else." ”

"You think beautifully." Liu Bingyun said: "If you want two townships and one town, I have to give you two towns and one town, why?" I've also thought about it, since you want it, then I'll be generous, and I'll give you all the ten townships in Xihe District and Nanjiang District on the south bank of the Haizhou River. Let you eat a full meal at one time, solve the problems left over from history, and you and I will not owe each other from now on. ”

"Row the river?"

"That's what it means."

"So, is that good?" Xu Haodong said: "Lao Liu, what I asked the provincial party committee and provincial government is two townships and one town, which is not compatible with your generosity." ”

"That's not a problem." Liu Bingyun said: "I have just returned from Governor Shang, and I agree with your plan, and at the same time, Governor Shang also agrees to my proposal. ”

Xu Haodong looked at Liu Bingyun and said, "Cunning, Lao Liu, you are too cunning, you are taking the opportunity to throw off the burden." ”

Liu Bingyun smiled, "Haha, the scenery of your Yunling City, our Haizhou City can't suffer too much." ”

"It's a big deal, and I can't be the master alone."

"If you don't come, this set is useless."

"Lao Liu, I have to at least discuss with our Mayor Kong Zhenghao."

Liu Bingyun laughed again, "It's not a problem, I just called Kong Zhenghao, he not only agreed, but was also preparing to come to the provincial capital to negotiate." ”

Xu Haodong also smiled, "Okay, old Liu, dare to command my mayor." ”

"I didn't call Kong Zhenghao here." Liu Bingyun said: "I came out of Governor Shang and went to Executive Vice Governor Tian Yuqing, who now has an additional identity, the leader of the leading group for the integration of the four cities. Vice Governor Tian is going to the capital the day after tomorrow, so he asked the first and second leaders of the four cities to hold a meeting, so I took the initiative to call Kong Zhenghao for you. Of course, the call was made from Vice Governor Tian's office, and it was Vice Governor Tian who personally informed Kong Zhenghao. ”

"Oh, I see." Xu Haodong said: "Okay, this one has been turned over. Lao Liu, Comrade Siyang, what do you think of my ideas and suggestions? ”

Liu Bingyun said: "Generous, magnificent, I raise my hands to support." ”

Yu Siyang said: "Secretary Xu, I just came, and I don't know the situation yet. The integration of the four cities, 30,000 square kilometers, 23 million people, and 1.2 trillion GDP, as Secretary Bingyun said, is indeed a generous style. ”

Xu Haodong said: "Give opinions, two, I don't listen to good words, please give your opinions." ”

"Virtue." Liu Bingyun said: "I have just seen your great idea, and Comrade Siyang has not had time to see it, how can you let us put forward our opinions?" ”

Xu Haodong nodded, "Okay, then let's discuss it seriously tomorrow." ”

Liu Bingyun had no intention of leaving, just glanced at Yu Siyang.

Yu Siyang was interested, got up and said, "Two secretaries, you chat, I will continue to meet the provincial leaders." ”

Xu Haodong didn't keep it, he sent Siyang to the door, closed the door, turned his head and asked Liu Bingyun, "How is this Yu Siyang?" ”

"Of course it's good, it's very good." Liu Bingyun said: "After all, he is from the capital, after all, he came out of a state organ, at least he is rigorous, cultivated, intellectual, and so on, which is much better than those who come up below." is not like Lu Yuanshan, who fell from power, and even I don't care about me, and the whole is a big hooligan in officialdom. ”

Xu Haodong stretched out his hand and pointed up, "Is there any background?" ”

"Not really." Shaking his head, Liu Bingyun said: "Forty-five years old, from Beijing, but it is a suburb of Beijing, my parents are farmers, I have an older sister who is also a farmer, my wife is a middle school teacher, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law are retired workers in Shougang. I studied all the way to the doctorate at Renmin University, majoring in business administration, and have been working in state organs, from the chief clerk to the deputy department, step by step. He was selected as an outstanding cadre by a state organ last year, and was included in the list of reserve cadres by the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee three years ago. ”

"Grassroots." Xu Haodong nodded.

Liu Bingyun said: "My background and experience are similar to mine, except that I am not a doctor, and I have only been in a provincial agency. ”

Xu Haodong said: "Finding a good partner is more difficult than finding a wife." ”

Liu Bingyun said: "Yes, the problem is that finding a wife is your own business, and finding a partner is the organization's business." ”

Xu Haodong looked at Liu Bingyun, "Old Liu, there is one thing...... There's one thing I want to tell you. ”

"Say, take me as a friend, don't hide it."

"I'm sorry, I didn't recommend you last time I recommended candidates for provincial leadership. Or rather, I cast a no. ”

Liu Bingyun looked at Xu Haodong and was silent for a while, "Really? ”

Xu Haodong nodded.

"I know, I know you didn't recommend me."
