Chen Yibo's Audi car was parked in front of a small hotel.

Xu Haodong didn't get out of the car immediately, "Two leaders, come out with you, of course I'm in for a treat, but I can't afford to invite a hotel at this level." ”

Liu Mingrui laughed, "Haha, the host is here, it's not your turn to pay." ”

Chen Yibo smiled: "Haodong, let you have a treat on my territory, do you want to slap me in the face?" ”

Xu Haodong said hypocritically: "It's not appropriate for the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee to invite the members of the Provincial Party Committee to dinner." ”

Chen Yibo said: "Fill it with garlic." ”

Liu Mingrui said: "It's too much garlic." ”

With laughter, getting out of the car, Xu Haodong followed Chen Yibo and Liu Mingrui into the hotel.

The three of them sat down in the private room, ordered a few dishes, and after sending the waiter away, Chen Yibo and Liu Mingrui drank tea and smoked, and Xu Haodong just drank water as usual.

Chen Yibo is tall, dignified, and outgoing. And Liu Mingrui is just the opposite, thin but not tall, with an ordinary appearance, introverted personality, and always has a faint smile on his face.

The two members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, who are about 50 years old, are both local leaders, and in the words of Xu Haodong, among the provincial leaders of Dongjiang Province, they are both young and powerful.

Xu Haodong admires Chen and Liu very much, and Xu Haodong secretly pays a lot of attention to Binzhou City and Ningzhou City, where they govern.

People are in officialdom, and they can't help themselves. In the past, Xu Haodong didn't like to associate with leaders and colleagues, but now he can't help it, this is part of the political life of an official at his level, and he can learn a lot from interacting with Chen and Liu.

Liu Mingrui said: "Haodong, I don't understand how you develop the habit of not smoking, drinking, or drinking tea. ”

Chen Yibo said: "That's it, according to the current normal state of officialdom, if you don't smoke, drink or drink tea, you can't survive." ”

"Two leaders, then I will briefly report to you." Xu Haodong said: "There are four main reasons. One is the influence of the family style of my grandparents, who are diligent and thrifty, living within their means, and breaking a penny into two cents, which has been deeply imprinted in my memory since I was a child. The second is the power of love, my past with my ex-wife, you must have heard, she is a woman who is seriously ill and may die at any time, when she married me, I was stepping into the political arena, when I worked, faced with all kinds of temptations, when I thought of her at home, I could restrain those evil desires in my heart. The third is my attitude towards money, and I myself am very strange about this, I don't value money, but I learned to set up a stall and start a small business at the age of twelve, and I have achieved a lot. Fourth, living habits, the so-called details determine success or failure, I have hated cigarettes since I was a child, so it is normal not to smoke; Drinking tea is mainly for refreshment, I am young and insist on exercising, and I don't need to drink tea and coffee to refresh me; As for drinking, I actually know how to drink, but I blush because of alcohol, which damages my personal image, so I hardly drink outside, so I occasionally drink at home and don't develop the habit of drinking. ”

Liu Mingrui said: "Don't say it, your habit of not smoking, drinking, or drinking tea is the clear stream of officialdom, and now it is the positive stream of officialdom." ”

Xu Haodong said: "Regarding these habits, I used to rely on personal ethics, but now it is different. First, I am the secretary of the municipal party committee, and I don't smoke, so in the city administrative center building, no one dares to smoke in public. Second, when the general environment improves and the party style improves, it will be easier for me to adhere to my habits. ”

Liu Mingrui said: "Haodong, how is the zero entertainment fee system you are doing now? ”

Xu Haodong said: "At the beginning, there were resistance and difficulties, but after persevering for a stage, it slowly formed a habit. The so-called habit becomes natural, and the leaders do not use a penny of public funds to entertain, and the people below gradually follow. ”

Liu Mingrui said: "It's easy to do it yourself, mainly because the people above come down, they used to have good wine and good food, but now they are let pay out of their own pockets, this bend is not good." ”

Chen Yibo said: "Mingrui, Secretary Li Zhihong has been to Yunling, and he didn't spend a penny on Yunling. Haodong has a very good way, he hung the photo and speech of Secretary Li Zhihong in the hall of the reception hotel, who do you say dare to complain about the hospitality of Yunling people. When I was in Yunling, I saw an overseas Chinese visiting group, which was invited by Yunling City, but they insisted that they were responsible for their own food, housing and transportation, and they were not only not unhappy, but also praised it. ”

Liu Mingrui nodded and said: "We are also implementing a zero hospitality fee system in Ningzhou, and the effect has been quite good for a month. ”

Chen Yibo also said: "We in Binzhou are ready to start implementing a zero hospitality system after the National Day. ”

Xu Haodong smiled and said: "Binzhou and Ningzhou both implement a zero hospitality system, and the whole province will be easy to do." However, I would like to remind the two leaders that the key to whether or not the zero hospitality system can be effectively implemented is two points. First, you take the lead and set an example with all the members of the four teams. The second is the reward and punishment system, where whistleblowers are all heavily rewarded, and the bonuses are borne by the violators themselves. ”

Chen Yibo smiled and said, "Mingrui, you and I should take the lead, it shouldn't be a problem." What I admire most is Haodong's reward and punishment system, if the public funds eat and drink 100 yuan, the whistleblower can get a reward of 10,000 yuan, and the 10,000 yuan is all paid by the public money eaters and drinkers themselves, a hundred times, a hundred times, you think about it, such a huge cost of violating discipline, who would dare to eat and drink with public funds. ”

Liu Mingrui also smiled, "We also learn this one, not only to eat and drink at public expense, but also to eat the wine and food of the enterprise, and we will also handle it accordingly." Anyway, if you want to eat and drink, please pay out of your own pocket. ”

At this time, the meal came up.

After the waiter went out, Liu Mingrui asked with a smile: "Yibo, are you honest, is this meal consumed with public funds, or are you paying out of your own pocket?" You're a well-known wife. ”

Chen Yibo took out a bank card and put it on the dining table, "Don't worry, absolutely out of pocket." ”

Xu Haodong said with a smile: "Not to mention, the implementation of the zero entertainment fee system has another benefit for you personally, that is, you can bring money confidently, and my wife doesn't dare to manage it strictly." For example, Secretary Yibo, did he carry money with him before? Did he dare to speak so roughly? ”

The three of them laughed together, and after laughing, it was time to eat. None of the three of them drank or asked for a drink, so the meal was quickly wiped out by the three.

Dinner is supplemented, talking about things is the mainstay, and the topic is naturally the enlarged meeting of the Provincial Standing Committee that has just been held.

Chen Yibo asked: "Haodong, what do you think of the provincial economic work conference in the afternoon?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "I don't have an opinion yet. ”

Chen Yibo said: "If you don't come often, you will count you most seriously in the afternoon, like a primary school student, you must have counted it in your heart." ”

Chen Yibo pointed to his laptop and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the two leaders, I only cared about my one-third of an acre of land in the past, and I didn't know much about the economic situation of the province, at least not comprehensively and profoundly. So, when I go back tonight, I'll have to digest the information recorded here before I can have some opinions. ”

Liu Mingrui waved his hand and said, "Haodong, don't be too modest, it's a group meeting now, you can talk about it first." ”
