When Xia Bicheng came to Secretary Lu's house, because the compound of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau were not too far away, he did not dare to take a special car, but walked to the compound of the Provincial Party Committee like Secretary Li usually went to work. Therefore, he was the last to arrive at Secretary Lu's house.

By this time, everyone was already seated at the big table. Because considering that Xia Bicheng was his in-law after all, Secretary Lu specially instructed Chen Yi to leave a place for him under him. After shaking hands with Zhang Linjiang, Lu Nianzi, Xiao Jin and others and saying "long admiration", Xia Bicheng sat down under Secretary Lu with a smile, and was very proud: It seems that in Secretary Lu's heart, he is still a "family member" who has weight!

Xia Chuchu often ridiculed Ye Ming in front of Chen Yi, Chen Mengqi and other acquaintances, and sometimes "punished" him. However, when an outsider like Xiao Jin was present, she was very considerate and "virtuous" to Ye Ming, sitting obediently next to Ye Ming, sandwiching some good dishes for him from time to time, and taking the initiative to add food to Ye Ming - she did this not only for Xiao Jin, but also for Chen Mengqi and Chen Yi. The purpose is to tell them that she and Ye Ming have a good relationship now, and she is a virtuous and good wife......

Xia Bicheng saw that his daughter was suddenly so sensible and considerate of Ye Ming, and felt that he had a lot of face in front of Secretary Lu, and he also felt very relieved in his heart, and kept saying that Chu Chu is more sensible and diligent now, and it seems that he has really grown up.

Secretary Lu smiled and said, "Comrade Xia Bicheng, Chu Chu is already very good!" I've always thought she was outspoken, kind-hearted, and a good girl. What's more, she is still so talented, you should be proud that you have such a good daughter! Hehe! ”

Secretary Lu is now very satisfied with Xia Chuchu, the future "daughter-in-law", so he took this opportunity to praise her a few words.

Although Xia Chuchu has a cheerful and generous personality, he still feels a little embarrassed to be praised by the secretary of the provincial party committee in front of so many people, his face shows a shy flush, and he glanced at Ye Ming beside him affectionately, his heart is full of tenderness......

Since it is now at Secretary Lu's house, everyone is embarrassed to drink. Therefore, the meal was eaten relatively quickly, and it was finished in more than twenty minutes.

There aren't many things to deal with tonight, so he has a little spare time. So, after eating, he took Secretary Li, Zhang Linjiang, Xia Bicheng, Xiao Jin and Ye Ming and other male comrades to a reception room with root carved tea sets in the west, and chatted while sipping kung fu tea.

Originally, Secretary Lu wanted to have a separate chat with Xiao Jin and listen to his views and suggestions on the work of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. In fact, the symbolic meaning of this kind of chat is far greater than the actual content of the conversation: through such a conversation, Secretary Lu wants to convey a clear signal to Xiao Jin, that is, he, the secretary of the provincial party committee, has begun to pay attention to him, and he will soon be promoted.

However, just after eating, Secretary Lu changed his mind and decided to drink tea and chat with everyone. He believes that even if he doesn't talk to Xiao Jin alone, he should know in his heart, and he should know the intention behind calling him to eat today......

While chatting, Secretary Lu asked Xiao Jin very casually: "Comrade Xiao Jin, how is Xiao Ye doing in the Provincial Party School now?" How did his teachers and classmates react to him? ”

Xiao Jin hurriedly replied with a smile: "Comrade Ye Ming performed very well in the party school, not only has a strong learning ability, but also has done a lot of meaningful and good things for our youth cadre class, and has won unanimous praise from teachers and classmates. Whether it is the class committee or the school committee, the evaluation of Comrade Ye Ming is very high. ”

Secretary Lu nodded, and then stopped talking about this topic, and instead began to discuss some issues that he was more concerned about now.

After thinking for a while, Secretary Lu suddenly asked Li Runji: "Comrade Runji, before the National Day holiday, I saw several reports of the Letters and Visits Bureau one after another, saying that some creditors in several counties and cities who had released money to local investment companies were bankrupt because they did not want to return the money, so they gathered together and prepared to go to the capital during the National Day. Does your Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection have any feedback on this? Is there anything to be done? ”

Secretary Li nodded and said, "Secretary Lu, as far as I know, there are now several counties and cities where illegal fund-raising activities are very rampant, and they have reached a crazy level. In some counties and cities, private funds are basically concentrated in investment companies, and no one even deposits money in banks. This is a very dangerous tendency, and it can also be said to be a huge powder keg that affects social stability. Our Commission for Discipline Inspection has already paid attention to this issue and is conducting further investigation to understand the situation. ”

Secretary Lu said worriedly: "Runji, the party congress will be held in August next year. Now, due to the problem of the general economic climate, the economy in many places in our province has declined, and the efficiency of enterprises is getting worse and worse. Since the first half of this year, the price of coal, antimony ore and lead-zinc ore has continued to fall. In particular, the price of coal has fallen below the bottom line, and many coal mines with poor coal quality will lose tens or hundreds of yuan to produce a ton of coal, so many coal mines have to stop production. The real estate industry is now in a downturn. Therefore, many investment companies cannot recover the money invested, and the people who save money have a run, and these investment companies will collapse in an instant. If the people's hard-earned money cannot be recovered, they will definitely make trouble. What I am most afraid of is that before next year's Party Congress, there will be a big incident because of illegal fundraising, and then we Tianjiang will be very passive. ”

Li Runji knew that Secretary Lu's worries were very reasonable, so he said to him: "Secretary Lu, I was going to work with the public security organs to deploy a special operation to crack down on illegal fund-raising before the year. However, according to the feedback from the Commission for Discipline Inspection below, there is great resistance to the launch of this action. Why? Because in many counties and municipalities where illegal fund-raising is rampant, those illegal investment companies are inextricably linked with the interests of local government officials. Some investment companies, even the bosses behind the scenes, are officials of local party committees and governments, and some are also key local leaders. Moreover, the existence of investment companies can create a false prosperity in the local area. Therefore, many local government leaders know that these investment companies are illegal and that illegal fund-raising is a powder keg that triggers social instability, but they still turn a blind eye and do not want to make up their minds and exert efforts to rectify the problem, resulting in the phenomenon of illegal fund-raising becoming more and more serious. Therefore, if you want to crack down on illegal fundraising, it will not happen overnight! ”
