The old man Liu in Zhang Jialai's mouth is Liu Zhenguo, because although Liu Zhenguo is only in his fifties, he looks like an old man in his sixties, and he likes to call himself an old man, so his colleagues in the party like to call him an old man in private.

"Old man Liu also serves as the deputy director of the Shenzhen Reform Office, but he is at the deputy ministerial level, which is a grade higher than me. This time, when the guidance group came down, I was supposed to lead the team, but Old Man Liu took the initiative to ask for help. On the way, Old Man Liu told me that someone had called Xu Haodong's small report, and Old Man Liu wanted to come down by the way to take a look. Only then did I know that the relationship between Xu Haodong and Old Man Liu was extraordinary. ”

Shen Kang smiled and said, "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." According to the general law of officialdom, this is normal. Xu Haodong has been high-profile and publicized in the past two years, and he is still an Internet celebrity with tens of millions of Internet fans, which is the object of envy and hatred of many peers. The province is Secretary Li Zhihong, and the capital is Secretary Liu Zhenguo, if it weren't for the support of these two, Xu Haodong would have been dealt with a long time ago. ”

Zhang Jia said: "So Old Man Liu said that Xu Haodong is a rare talent, and he doesn't dare to say it in other places, but as far as Yunling City is concerned, only Xu Haodong can be calm, and others don't have this ability for the time being." Lao Shen, listen to it, how high is this evaluation? ”

Shen Kang nodded and said: "No wonder the two leaders value it so much, it is indeed a rare talent." Xu Haodong has his own economic theories, and he is also very good at engaging in politics, especially in the anti-corruption struggle, and it can be said that his methods are really powerful, and he has almost checked the entire contingent of cadres. The key is that the series of measures he introduced have basically won the support of the top and bottom, and his courage and foresight are beyond the comparison of ordinary people. For example, reading activities, for example, the zero-fee system, for example, the live broadcast of democratic life, for example, the zero-entertainment system, etc., not to mention, now all parts of the province are learning from Yunling City. ”

Zhang Jia said: "I heard that he still has a good mentality, he is not nostalgic for his official position, and he wrote an application report this year, and he wants to resign from his position and go to school to enrich himself." ”

Shen Kang said: "I know this, there is such a thing, but it was blocked by Secretary Li Zhihong." Your Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Central Party School have tried to transfer him several times, but they have also been blocked by Secretary Li Zhihong. ”

Zhang Jia looked at Shen Kang and said, "Old Shen, such a person can't afford to offend." ”

Shen Kang shook his head again and again, "On the contrary, it's just the opposite. ”

Zhang Jialai asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Shen Kang said: "Xu Haodong has a credo that finding problems is more important than solving them. Therefore, he likes to be pointed out by others, and if you only say good things and don't talk about problems, he will look down on you in his heart. ”

Zhang Jialai sighed, "Interesting, this person is so interesting." ”

The next day, at 9:15 a.m.

Conference Room No. 3 on the 13th floor of the Municipal Administration Center Building.

All members of the four sets of teams attended and met with all members of the Institutional Reform Pilot Steering Group.

Xu Haodong just made a few simple opening remarks, and then handed over the meeting to the acting mayor Kong Zhenghao to preside.

Kong Zhenghao knew that Xu Haodong was deliberately "cultivating" him. He first introduced all the members of the four sets of teams, and then asked Shen Kang to introduce all the members of the steering group.

After the introduction of the two sides, Kong Zhenghao invited Liu Zhenguo, the leader of the group, to speak.

Mr. Liu's speech lasted only a few minutes.

At the end of the meeting, Kong Zhenghao announced that during the period when the guidance group was stationed in Yunling, Wang Weiming, director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and Gao Haifeng, director of the Office of the Municipal Government, were responsible for direct cooperation and contact.

After the meeting ended, Wang Weiming and Gao Haifeng were responsible for sending all the members of the steering group to their temporary offices one by one.

Xu Haodong returned to his office.

Acting Mayor Kong Zhenghao also followed, "Haodong, do we also want to come up with our institutional reform plan at the afternoon meeting?" ”

"Of course, why not?" Xu Haodong said: "First, we have this need and this power. Second, Liu Zhenguo, the leader of the group, and the steering group have agreed. Third, our reform plan, as a supplement to the higher-level plan, does not have any conflict. Fourth, it is more convenient for us to take a free ride, and if we don't do it now, when will we wait? ”

Kong Zhenghao nodded, "Since you have made up your mind, then of course I support it." ”

"Zhenghao, reform, you always need to be bold." Xu Haodong said: "You must have read the pilot plan of the superior carefully last night. That's the top-level design, from the top down, and it's for the whole country. But for us, it is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions and meet the actual needs of our Yunling City. If we follow suit and don't dare to try, our superiors will look down on us. ”

"That's just as well." Kong Zhenghao said with a smile: "Like our policy of non-discriminatory settlement of foreign population, everyone is equal in front of the policy, and doctors, masters and cleaners live in the same rental building, which is the only one in the country." ”

Xu Haodong said: "Governing for the people, as long as we stick to this article, even if we fail or make mistakes, the organization will not beat us to death with a stick." For a wise leader, you can't tolerate subordinates who don't work, but you will definitely tolerate subordinates who make mistakes in their work. ”

Kong Zhenghao asked: "Isn't it appropriate for me to preside over the afternoon conference?" ”

"I have my considerations." Xu Haodong said: "Zhenghao, you have always been low-key, and I have been a little flamboyant recently, so you and I will correct it to achieve the purpose of complementarity." ”

"Hey." Kong Zhenghao whispered: "When I went to the Bayi Hotel last night to visit the three leaders of the guidance group, I was quite surprised by one thing, that is, they all asked about you. ”

Xu Haodong was stunned, "What are you asking?" ”

Kong Zhenghao said: "Ask me what I think of you, and ask me to keep it a secret. ”

Xu Haodong sighed, "Why do you think this is?" ”

"I'll guess." Kong Zhenghao said: "In the first half of the year, we will elect the representatives of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China at the provincial party congress, and in the second half of the year, we will elect representatives to the National People's Congress. ”

Xu Haodong's heart moved, "Two good things will fall on my head alone, won't it." ”

"I'm not entirely guessing." Kong Zhenghao said: "My friend who works in the province told me that you are very promising, one is guaranteed, and two still need a little bit of hard work. ”

Xu Haodong smiled slightly, "Yunling is now a star city, and there should be representatives of the National Party and the National People's Congress. ”

"Haodong, you hit me in the face." Kong Zhenghao said with a smile: "I am self-aware, I know where I am, and the word agent is still written on the hat on my head." Compared with you, I am still a grade behind, in your words, you are still a few steps behind the head of the main hall, but I, the head of the main hall, are more than a dozen steps behind. Haodong, you're in front of me, I have to send you up first. ”

"Haha......" Xu Haodong laughed and stood up, "Don't say it, don't say it, two shameless guys." Zhenghao, if you keep talking, you and I won't be able to eat or sleep. ”

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the city hall was full, "two shameless guys", one sitting on the rostrum, the other standing by the podium on the rostrum.

Acting Mayor Kong Zhenghao announced loudly, "Leaders and comrades, the mobilization meeting for the pilot project of institutional reform in Yunling City is now ......"
