Chapter 792: Falling Step by Step
Pan Xiaosong smiled and said, "Minister Meng, don't you know this?" In the entire Qingjiang City, you are the only one who is good to me. At Mayor Su's place, I couldn't actually say anything at all. So, Minister Meng, I have to help me with this. ”
"Let me help you go and tell Mayor Su about this? Hehe, Pan Xiaosong, Pan Xiaosong, you are quite good at thinking! ”
"Hehe, Minister Meng, of course I won't let you help in vain! The other day, I called my cousin in Myanmar and asked him to help me get a superb old pit jade pendant. Yesterday, my cousin called me and said that he had found it, and he was so full of water that no one could take their eyes off it! Originally, I wanted him to send it to me, but my cousin felt that this jade pendant was too valuable, he was afraid that something would go wrong in the process of transportation, and it happened that he had a friend over there who was also from our Huaihai, and he would come back in a few days to save his relatives, and when the time came, he brought this jade pendant back to me. ”
Meng Yunpeng understood what Pan Xiaosong meant, and deliberately quipped: "Yo, Lao Pan, do you have something good again, and you specially make such a good jade pendant to give away?" ”
Pan Xiaosong sneered: "Minister Meng, you are joking. Such a good jadeite, how can I be qualified to receive it! Of course, I will give it to you! ”
"Give it to me?" Meng Yunpeng said with a playful smile.
"Yes! I was ready to give it to you from the beginning! Pan Xiaosong said with an oath.
In fact, Pan Xiaosong did ask a cousin who was doing business in Myanmar a few days ago to help him buy a high-quality and inexpensive Laokeng jade pendant, but he didn't want to give it to Meng Yunpeng at that time, but was going to give it to the little anchor he had just arrived.
However, now that the situation has changed abruptly, in order to keep his official position, he is ready to give this jade pendant to Meng Yunpeng with a ruthless heart!
He knows that Meng Yunpeng is extremely greedy by nature, if you want to do something with him, then you must give him something, the more valuable and valuable the thing is, then the more active Meng Yunpeng will be!
Compared with the position of the director of culture and broadcasting, what can a jade pendant, or even that little anchor, be counted?
It's just that the pendant hasn't arrived yet, so he can only use the method of "painting cakes" to tempt Meng Yunpeng.
Pan Xiaosong was worried that Meng Yunpeng would not believe his words, and specifically emphasized: "Minister Meng, we have known each other for so long, you should know that I, Pan Xiaosong, am definitely a person who counts his words!" When that jade pendant arrives, I'll send it to your house right away! ”
Meng Yunpeng was thinking of another idea at the moment, because he was already very angry with Zhou Zhenshan now, but he also knew that with his own strength, he would definitely not be able to wrestle with Zhou Zhenshan, which required him to have other allies.
Then, if he can choose, Mayor Suyang is naturally the most suitable person!
It's just that Meng Yunpeng's previous friendship with Su Yang was very shallow, so he couldn't rashly go to Su Yang to form an alliance, and he had to have a suitable reason.
Now, Pan Xiaosong's matter is a reason.
If you can pull Su Yang onto your boat through this incident, then do you still need to be afraid of Zhou Zhenshan in the future?
So, Meng Yunpeng pretended to be generous and said: "Alas! Okay, Lao Pan, Mayor Su, I can help you talk about it. You also know that Mayor Su is not very easy to contact, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't want to pull my face down to find him! ”
Pan Xiaosong hurriedly said: "I understand! I understand! Minister Meng, I really don't know how to thank you! ”
Meng Yunpeng said: "However, it's not good for me to go to him empty-handed, right?" ”
"Yes! Be! Minister Meng, then you say, what would be better for Mayor Su to prepare? ”
"Well, you don't need anything particularly valuable, just get some good tea, good cigarettes or something, otherwise, Mayor Su won't want it."
Pan Xiaosong immediately said: "Okay, I understand! I'm going to get ready now! ”
Meng Yunpeng saw Su Yang very easily.
Meng Yunpeng put the best Longjing tea and soft Chinese cigarettes prepared by Pan Xiaosong in a plastic bag, put them on Su Yang's desk, and then sat opposite Su Yang, and said politely: "Mayor Su, take the liberty to come here, I didn't disturb your work, right?" ”
"Hehe, Minister Meng, what's the matter with you?" Although Su Yang's tone is quite polite, the meaning is also obvious, that is, you can say whatever you want, I am not interested in gossiping with you.
Meng Yunpeng understood Su Yang's words, so he didn't dare to gossip, and said directly: "Actually, I came here for the merger of the Bureau of Culture, Radio, and Television. After the merger of the Bureau of Culture, Radio, and Television, it will be the mouthpiece unit of our city, so our Propaganda Department is still very concerned. ”
Su Yang nodded, waiting for Meng Yunpeng to continue.
Seeing that Su Yang didn't answer, Meng Yunpeng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he had to continue: "These days, hasn't the city sent two investigation teams to the Cultural Bureau and the Radio and Television Bureau respectively, I think it's a waste of manpower and material resources to do so, and the entry of these two inspection teams may also have some negative impact on the two directors of the Cultural Bureau and the Radio and Television Bureau. Hehe......"
Su Yang said: "Minister Meng, what do you mean?" ”
"I mean, can you get these two teams out?"
"Withdraw?"
"Yes! I thought, anyway, they've been investigating for so long, if there is a problem, then the problem should have been found, if there is no problem, it will be interesting to investigate it again except for wasting manpower and material resources. ”
Su Yang asked with some confusion: "Minister Meng, didn't you propose to conduct an in-depth investigation into this matter at the beginning?" ”
Meng Yunpeng immediately blushed a little, sneered, and said, "That's right, it was indeed this matter that I brought up first, but my original intention was to find out about that matter and give Pan Xiaosong a result." But looking at it now, Secretary Zhou seems to have the intention of expanding the scope of this matter! ”
Although Su Yang is known for being low-key and close to the people, this does not mean that he does not understand politics, in fact, how can a person like him, who has worked hard in the officialdom for decades, not understand politics?
Therefore, after listening to Meng Yunpeng's words, he immediately became keenly aware of what Meng Yunpeng meant, so he smiled playfully and said, "Minister Meng, I didn't understand what you said." ”
Meng Yunpeng had already made up his mind before he came to Su Yang, and at this time he said ruthlessly: "Mayor Su, we have known each other for thirteen years, right?" In the past, we had less contact, but in my heart, I have always admired your personality and your ability! In fact, after Qin Zhitao and Guo Yuancheng left Qingjiang successively, I very much hope that you can become the secretary of the municipal party committee! Moreover, this is not my idea alone, many cadres in Qingjiang, even including some Standing Committee members, have such thoughts! However, who would have thought that the provincial party committee finally sent a Zhou Zhenshan, which really disappointed our local cadres! ”
Su Yang didn't speak, and there was no expression on his face, waiting for him to continue.
Meng Yunpeng's words were already so explicit, but Su Yang didn't say anything, which made Meng Yunpeng feel a little bottomless, but since he had said it to this extent, he could only continue to say it hard.
"After this period of contact, I found that Zhou Zhenshan is not a good person. In the past few months, he had just come to Qingjiang and had not yet gained a firm foothold, so he had not made any major moves. However, now that he has basically gained a firm foothold, the next step, he will definitely have to carry out a power shuffle! Let's just say that this time, he asked the investigation team to be stationed in the Cultural Affairs Bureau and the Radio and Television Bureau respectively, and the real purpose is definitely not as simple as it seems! To put it bluntly, he just wants to use this matter to expand the scope of the investigation and crack down on political opponents! Who are his political enemies? Naturally, we localists are his political enemies! Mayor Su, you are the leader of our local faction, and Zhou Zhenshan's power struggle is aimed at you in the final analysis! You can't afford to be on guard! ”
This time, Su Yang couldn't say anything anymore, but his reaction made Meng Yunpeng very disappointed!
I saw Su Yang's face turned pale, and he said in a serious tone: "Minister Meng, you can't talk nonsense like this!" It's just you whining in my office, and I don't hear anything. ”
Meng Yunpeng was in a hurry, he opened the bow and didn't look back, and the matter had come to this point, so he deliberately sneered and said, "Complaining? Mayor Su, do you think I'm complaining? When I say this, I'm thinking about you, and even more so for the sake of all our local cadres! It is conceivable that if Zhou Zhenshan fully controls the power of Qingjiang, all of us localist cadres will definitely stand aside! When the time comes, you, the mayor, will bear the brunt! Mayor Su, you should also think about it, if you only have the name of a mayor, but you don't have the power that a mayor should have, then what does it mean for you to be a mayor? If you don't feel guilty yourself, I'll do it for you! ”
Meng Yunpeng observed his words and expressions as he spoke, he saw that Su Yang's face suddenly became cloudy, and thought that Su Yang must have been moved, but he had not yet completely made up his mind, so he further said: "Mayor Su, as long as you say a word, then I will go to connect with those cadres of our local faction!" Don't worry, I'll do it well! What kind of thing is he Zhou Zhenshan? I promise to make him ......"
"That's it! Say no more! Su Yang interrupted him suddenly.
Meng Yunpeng looked at Su Yang embarrassedly and nervously, and said, "Mayor Su ......"
Su Yang raised his right hand and didn't let Meng Yunpeng continue.
In fact, it is impossible to say that Su Yang is not a little jealous of Zhou Zhenshan, and it is absolutely impossible to say that Su Yang is not keen on absolute power at all.
Only those who sit in his seat, almost no one can face the word "power" calmly.
However, after listening to Meng Yunpeng's incendiary words, he almost only hesitated for three seconds, and immediately made up his mind, he must not be fooled by Meng Yunpeng!
First of all, Su Yang doesn't want to confront Zhou Zhenshan, because he is not a person who is willing to engage in power confrontation, and judging from the situation in the past few months, he and Zhou Zhenshan's partner is quite harmonious, Zhou Zhenshan is not the kind of aggressive, "secretary not mayor" person, Su Yang is quite satisfied with this state, as long as Zhou Zhenshan does not do anything that makes him unbearable, he will not take tough measures against Zhou Zhenshan.
Secondly, Su Yang knows Meng Yunpeng very well, he doesn't think Meng Yunpeng is a person who can do things at all, if he is in the same camp as Meng Yunpeng, then Meng Yunpeng is estimated to not only not play a positive role, but will also bring a lot of negative effects, it is really appropriate to use "pig teammate" to describe him once.
Therefore, before Meng Yunpeng could say more outrageous words, Su Yang decisively interrupted him.
"Okay, Minister Meng, I still say the same thing, I don't think I heard what you said. Our party and government groups in Qingjiang City should attach importance to unity, and there should be no locals and outsiders. You are the Minister of Propaganda, and you should know very well what the consequences of saying such irresponsible words will be once they get out! This consequence is something you can't afford, and our Standing Committee team can't afford it! Su Yang said solemnly.
"No, Mayor Su, I'm doing this all for you......"
Meng Yunpeng was unwilling and wanted to explain again, but Su Yang interrupted him again: "I don't want to hear such words anymore." I'm going out for an on-site meeting soon, Minister Meng, please go out first. ”
No matter how thick-skinned Meng Yunpeng was, it was not easy to entangle anymore, so he had to stand up and said stupidly: "Mayor Su, you are defenseless against Zhou Zhenshan now, and when you find out that the situation is not right, and you want to be on guard again, I'm afraid you won't be able to be defensive anymore!" ”
Su Yang frowned, his face was ugly, and he didn't say a word.
Meng Yunpeng shook his hand violently and walked towards the door angrily.
"Minister Meng, wait a minute." Su Yang suddenly spoke.
Meng Yunpeng thought that Su Yang had suddenly figured it out again, and couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement, and immediately turned around, and just wanted to open his mouth with a happy face, but saw Su Yang pointing to the packet of tea and cigarettes he brought on the table, and said, "Minister Meng, you can bring these things back." ”
Meng Yunpeng only felt the feeling of a basin of cold water pouring down his head, and his irrepressible anger rushed up, and he sneered and said: "Suyang, I didn't mean to ask you to do anything when I gave you tea and cigarettes, it was just a normal human relationship, you didn't accept it, and it didn't give me face, right?" ”
Su Yang said: "If it was ordinary tea and cigarettes, I would definitely accept them, but the tea and cigarettes you brought are too valuable, and for me, this is beyond the standard of normal human relations." Minister Meng, please bring your things back. ”
Meng Yunpeng glared at Su Yang fiercely, and his eyes only wanted to be on fire!
"It seems that my kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs!" Meng Yunpeng picked up the bag of things, threw down a sentence, walked out angrily, and slammed the door hard, and there was a loud bang.
Su Yang's secretary immediately ran in in a panic and asked, "Mayor Su, are you okay?" ”
Su Yang's mood was very irritable, he didn't say a word, waved his hand and let him go out.
After sitting there for a while, Su Yang, who had quit smoking for a long time, opened the drawer, took out a packet of Hongtashan from it, tore open the seal, and lit one for himself.
After smoking a cigarette, Su Yang finally made up his mind, in order to prevent Meng Yunpeng from carrying him behind his back, or even doing something bad under his banner, Su Yang decided to make preparations first.
So, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed Zhou Zhenshan.
