Today is the day when the employees of Harry Potter Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. pay their salaries, and the workers are smiling as they count the brand-new tickets in their hands. Salary, funds, overtime pay, night meal expenses, plus benefit awards, each person is open to six or seven hundred yuan, which is unimaginable for them, a month of money is more than a year in the old pharmaceutical factory, which makes them very happy, feel that life is full of sunshine, and there is a rush.

Years ago, Zuo Jiang and Tao Fei made a special trip to Tongjiang, in addition to signing a contract with Yang Guangzhi to formally hire the company's sales manager, but also signed a generous annual salary agreement for Li Biyu and Zhou Jiancheng, George's annual salary of 600,000 US dollars has already been determined, Li Biyu and Zhou Jiancheng of course only signed an agreement to hire deputy general manager, the salary was 1000 yuan per month, the company's exhibition was on track, this salary is obviously too little, Zuo Jiang and Tao Fei decided to set their annual salary at 360,000 yuan, Yang Guangzhi is a sales manager of 300,000 yuan per year, Li Biyu and Zhou Jiancheng as deputy general managers can not be lower than this number, and their role can not be the same as Dr. George, so it is set at this number, which also gave Li Biyu and Zhou Jiancheng a big surprise, the annual salary of 360,000 yuan at that time is more shocking than the current annual salary of one million!

From the top to the middle level to the ordinary employees of Harry Potter Pharmaceutical Company, everyone gets the salary they imagined, the spirit of the whole company is renewed, and they are actively engaged in the work, the production line is running day and night at full capacity, and the products are continuously shipped to all parts of the country, even if this can not meet the needs of the general agent sellers, they often complain that the company can not give them goods in time.

Zuo Jiang was very concerned about the situation on his father's side of Zuo Zheng during this time, since he went to Fengyang to visit Zuo Zheng, he has been faintly worried about his father in his heart, although his father gave him a very confident posture, but he knew that the things that Zuo Zheng said was an impossible task. In addition to often calling his father to talk about work and land, he also collected some information about the Liaodong Railway Bureau from different sources.

The main source of information is Secretary Lin, when Zuo Jiang talked to his father in Fengyang, Zuo Zheng's mouth was very strict, and he didn't reveal any information to Zuo Jiang at all, although Zuo Jiang was anxious but his father didn't want to say that he couldn't help it, when he walked out of the ward, Secretary Lin came out to see him off, Zuo Jiang suddenly had an idea in his heart, the secretary knew the leader's things best, so he used the excuse that he hadn't eaten since the morning. Ask Lin Guozheng to find him a place to eat.

The director and his son were still hungry when they came to Fengyang, this was his dereliction of duty as a secretary, Lin Guozheng didn't dare to slack off, and after going back to the ward and talking to Zuo Zheng, he went downstairs and took Zuo Jiang to find a place to eat. It was the first time he came into contact with Zuo Jiang, and before that, he only knew that the director had a son who was in high school, and that's all, he had always treated Zuo Jiang as a child.

When Zuo Jiang asked him to get into the car after getting off the hospital's inpatient building, Lin Guozheng's heart was shocked, he was still familiar with the car. Zuo Jiang's car is better than the car that the director is sitting in, and he can also conclude that there is no Ford car in the bureau at all, Zuo Jiang is not borrowing his father's bus for private use, Lin Guozheng is very smart, how can a person who can afford to drive such a car not be able to solve the problem of a meal, it seems that the director of the bureau is using it differently. Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Lin Guozheng glanced at the teenager who was moving the car, and at this moment he no longer regarded Zuo Jiang as a teenager.

The secretary is the intimate person of the leader. Lin Guo is Zuo Zheng brought from the Songjiang Railway Bureau, has been loyal to follow Zuo Zheng, to the Liaodong Railway Bureau after some things he is very clear, Zuo Zheng by the original Liaodong Railway Bureau and Jincheng Railway Bureau forces squeezed out, although he is the head of a bureau is also difficult to carry out the work, Lin Guozheng in the eyes, anxious in the heart, but there is no way to do it, in a hurry.

When Zuo Jiang asked him very tactfully about his father's situation. He knew that Zuo Jiang was a person with a heart. And he is the son of the director, so he has no scruples. The bitter water that had been held back for a long time was poured out, which gave Zuo Jiang a more comprehensive understanding of what happened after his father came to Liaodong.

The merger of the three railways of Liaodong, Jincheng and Songjiang is based on the original Liaodong Railway Bureau, and the Songjiang Railway Bureau is the smallest railway bureau among the three railways, and Zuo Zheng has been the director of the bureau for less than a year, and is the youngest of the three railway directors. Unexpectedly, a major accident reformed all this, and Liang Xiangqian, the chief of the Jincheng Railway, thought that he could justifiably become the new director, but what he never expected was that Zuo Zheng came out of nowhere and sat on the throne of the director, and he became the party secretary with no real power.

Liaodong Railway Bureau and Jincheng Railway Bureau are in the same border of Liaodong Province, due to geopolitical relations, the cadres of the two railway bureaus also communicate frequently, Liang Xiangqian was originally the deputy director of the Liaodong Railway Bureau in charge of transportation, and later came to the director of the Jincheng Railway Bureau, after the merger of the three bureaus was formed, although it was not officially announced, he also got information from his own channels, Ren Guozhi was the new director after the merger, he had no objections, because Ren Guozhi was his old director, and in this merger, The biggest winners are undoubtedly the two railway bureaus of Liaodong and Jincheng, and only three people of the Songjiang Railway Bureau have entered the top level of the new bureau, Zuo Zheng is proposed to be the first deputy director, Song Dayou is proposed to be the deputy secretary of the party committee, and a deputy director of the Songjiang Railway is proposed to be the assistant director and chief dispatcher.

But the earthquake caused by the accident turned all this upside down, Ren Guozhi went secretly, and Zuo Zheng suddenly emerged, which made Liang Xiangqian's heart extremely unbalanced, and the cadres of the two railway bureaus of Liaodong and Jincheng also had a lot of resentment in their hearts, their xenophobic thinking was very serious, and the director of the Songjiang Railway Bureau became the new director, which made them feel that the status of the master was deprived.

The Ministry of Railways is still very familiar with the situation of the original Liaodong Railway and Jincheng Railway, but it is not so easy to break the pattern of interests formed over the years, in order to maintain the stability of the production layout of the three bureaus after the adjustment, it still made a plan that is beneficial to the two railway bureaus of Liaodong and Jincheng, and can only sacrifice the Songjiang Railway Bureau. However, the accident brought a turn for the better, and the ministry saw the hope of completely solving the Liaodong problem, which led to the fact that Ren Guozhi secretly resigned and Zuo Zheng took the position. At the same time, in order to maintain stability, the ministry transferred a number of former leaders of the Songjiang Railway Bureau to serve as leading cadres in Liaodong, so that Zuo Zheng could maintain his voice in the leadership team. The wish is good, but the problems of the Liaodong Railway are difficult to return, and Liang Xiangqian can't shake Zuo Zheng at the level of the leadership team, so he starts from the middle level, Yang Feng Yin disobeys, and stumbles on Zuo Zheng everywhere, because. The heads of the major departments are basically the team members of the former Liaodong and Jincheng Railways, and they are all his old subordinates, and many of them are his descendants, which has caused a situation in which the decrees of Zuo Zheng are difficult to carry out smoothly and are controlled by others everywhere.

The railway is a semi-military enterprise. The whole system is a big and connected motive, and if there is a problem in one link in the middle, it will affect the overall situation, and if the government decree is not smooth, there will be problems in many links of this co-motive, and it will be difficult for the whole system to operate. These people did not oppose Zuo Zheng face to face, they were all secretly dragging Zuo Zheng's hind legs, and Zuo Zheng originally wanted to take down a few heads of departments who were in violation of the yang and yin. However, when communicating privately with Liang Xiangqian, Liang Xiangqian said that the road bureau had just been merged, and the relationship in many aspects had not been straightened out, and it was normal for a little problem to occur at this time, and the mistakes they made were only some small mistakes in the work, and they did not reach the level of dismissal, and the road bureau had just been merged. Dealing with cadres in this way creates a cloud of instability. Liang Xiangqian was right, and Zuo Zheng couldn't refute it, which made him feel powerful and nowhere to go.

Zuo Zheng knows. In extraordinary times, it is necessary to have a fierce medicine, and despite Liang Xiangqian's opposition, Zuo Zheng still found fault and removed the heads of the two offices. However, this decision immediately caused panic among the cadres of the former Liaodong and Jincheng Railway Bureaus, who believed that this was the new director's special search for their little feet in order to establish his authority, and intended to clean up the cadres of the Liaodong and Jincheng Railway Bureaus.

Songjiang Province is the country's grain production base. Liaodong Province is the country's traditional heavy industry base. The transportation task is very heavy, and there is no pre-merger. The wagon plans are allocated by the Ministry of Railways to the railway bureaus, which can basically meet the needs of local economic exhibitions. However, with the further deepening of reform and opening up, the local economy is very fast, and the transportation resources of the railway are limited, which has a serious shortage of transportation capacity. However, after the integration of the three bureaus, because the cadres of the middle level and the grassroots level of the Liaodong Railway Bureau who were directly responsible for transportation and deployment were all local and inextricably linked with the province, they naturally focused on Liaodong Province during the period of tight transportation planning, and the transportation situation in Songjiang Province suddenly became tense, and a large amount of grain was difficult to be transported, and the stocks reached a state of saturation.

To this end, the vice governor of Songjiang Province in charge of traffic and transportation made a special trip to the Liaodong Railway Bureau to coordinate, and at the coordination meeting, Zuo Zheng said that he would fully support Songjiang Province, and after the meeting, Zuo Zheng made instructions to the transportation department, freight department, and dispatching office. No one dared to resist the director's instructions, it was okay when it first opened, Zuo Zheng asked a few times and was more satisfied, but after a long time, the people at the bottom began to do things again, Zuo Zheng as a director of the bureau has a lot of work every day, there is no time to stare at the transportation plan and the deployment of wagons, until Songjiang Province came to the door again to see the old problem again.

Zuo Jiang once went to Tao Fei's house to be a guest, and Secretary Tao happened to come back during the meal, and he seemed to talk to Zuo Jiang about this issue inadvertently at the dinner table. Zuo Jiang's heart was shocked, can the secretary of the provincial party committee say something casually? It must be that this question affects him to a certain extent before he asks, of course Zuo Jiang understands what Secretary Tao means, and he also helped his father.

After Zuo Jiang returned home, he called his father Zuo Zheng to talk about this issue, and hinted at the importance of Zuo Zheng's support for local construction, Zuo Jiang's previous life, because the main leaders of the railway bureau were not subject to local control, did not support the transportation needs of the local government, ignored the requirements of the local government, did not respect the opinions of the local government, and annoyed the chief official of the local government, the secretary of the provincial party committee impeached the railway at a meeting of the State Council, and under the pressure of the State Council, the Ministry of Railways removed several local railway directors.

Zuo Zheng also realized the seriousness of this problem, and this time he arranged for Song Dayou, the first deputy director, to keep an eye on the transportation plan and the problem of wagons, and adjusted the positions of several cadres in charge of planning and wagons, so that the problem could be completely solved. But Liang Qianqian's forces saw that this aspect could be drilled seamlessly, and turned to other aspects, making the left political defense unguardable. The radical approach of the left politicians had little effect, so they adjusted their tactics. I've been waiting for an opportunity to solve the problem.

On January 8, 1988, that is, the day after Zuojiang took the final examination, a major accident occurred in the management of the Jinji Branch of the Liaodong Railway Bureau, which caused a major accident of derailment and subversion of the freight train, resulting in the serious consequences of 1 truck being broken, 4 being broken, and 6 being broken, the line was damaged by more than 120 meters, and the main line was interrupted for 2 hours and 50 minutes, with a total economic loss of more than 300,000 yuan. Zuo Zheng rushed to the scene to organize rescue as soon as he received the accident report, and found out afterwards. The accident was caused by the untimely maintenance of the line in the public works and the driver in the maintenance of the locomotive, and the responsibility for the accident was determined by the Jincheng Public Works Section and the Jincheng Locomotive Depot, and the most important thing was that the main responsibility for the accident was the Jincheng Railway Branch, and Zuo Zheng felt that his opportunity had come.

The Jincheng Railway Branch is the foundation of Liang Xiangqian. The head of the sub-bureau and the secretary of the party committee are all the descendants of his local lineage, and the head of the Jincheng Public Works Section and the head of the Locomotive Section were all raised by him, and in some affairs, except for Liang Xiangqian, the Road Bureau could not command them at all, and Zuo Zheng decided to take this opportunity to move his roots.

According to the precedent of the resignation of the party and government officials of the railway bureau in the event of a major accident, the party and government officials of the railway bureau in the event of a major accident must also take the blame and resign. When Zuo Zheng brought this handling opinion to the Standing Committee for study, Liang Xiangqian was unable to raise objections at all, so he formed a final handling opinion and reported it to the Ministry of Railways, and at the same time, asked the Ministry of Railways to give himself and Liang Xiangqian, secretary of the party committee of the bureau, punishment.

The Ministry of Railways agreed with the handling of the Liaodong Railway, and gave Zuo Zheng, director of the bureau, and Liang Xiangqian, secretary of the bureau's party committee, warnings respectively. Write out the situation check.

Zuo Zhengxuan transferred capable cadres from the Songjiang Railway Branch and the Tongjiang Railway Branch to serve as the director and secretary of the party committee of the Jincheng Railway Branch, and gave the Jincheng Railway Branch a big change, thus firmly holding the Jincheng Railway Branch into his own hands. At the same time, he also replaced the pro-Liang Xiangqian's public works office and the director of the maintenance department, and after this battle, Liang Xiangqian's forces were greatly hit, and his actions began to be low-key.

After Lin Guozheng told Zuo Jiang the news, although Zuo Jiang was happy for his father, he was more deeply worried, although Zuo Zheng won the victory for the first time, but he did not fundamentally shake the foundation of Liang Qianqian, the Liaodong Railway Bureau's heaviest Liaodong Railway Branch. As well as the three extremely heavy railway sub-bureaus of Andong, Binhai, and Xincheng are still in his hands. In addition, many of the major departments and directly subordinate units of the bureau also support other places. Father Zuo Zheng wants to take the initiative or has a long way to go.

However, Zuo Jiang is only worried about these things for his father, he believes that Zuo Zheng will handle all this, and Zuo Jiang is now anxious about his father's future. In the past life of Zuojiangdi, 1988 was a year of many disasters and difficulties for the railway, and there were many major passenger train accidents on the whole road, including three major accidents that killed two people, among which there were many foreign passengers who were killed, which had a great impact on the world.

For these major accidents born this year, although Zuo Jiang has a memory, but he can't remember which train, which railway bureau, and the specific reason he can't remember, and he has no ability to prevent it, and he remembers most clearly is a major fire accident caused by a passenger train, the reason is that a passenger carried a flammable liquid flowed into the carriage, and encountered an open flame lit by a passenger and caused a fire, which finally caused 34 deaths and more than 30 injuries to passengers, and 5 major passenger train fire accidents were burned by vehicles. But he can't remember exactly what kind of train he was born in this accident, but he only roughly remembered that the time of birth was May, and he couldn't remember which day.

The most important thing is that Zuo Jiang remembers that in 88 years the Liaodong Railway also had a major accident in the passenger train field, the time was not October or November, the shock of the accident was very large, the director and party secretary of the Liaodong Railway Bureau at that time was not to blame for the resignation, but was directly dismissed by the Ministry of Railways, if history runs according to the original trajectory, the position of the father Zuo Zheng Bureau is to sit firmly, and it is difficult to escape the fate of being dismissed, due to the blurring of memory, Zuo Jiang wants to prevent this major accident can not start.

Zuo Jiang Baisi can't think of a good way to solve this crisis for his father, his heart is very anxious, now it seems that there are more than 10 months before October or January, but this time is undoubtedly very short for Zuo Jiang, for today's plan, the best solution is to let his father transfer out of the Liaodong Railway Bureau, to avoid this place of right and wrong, but whether it can be transferred is a big problem, which railway bureau to transfer to is also a big problem, in addition to the Liaodong Railway Bureau, Zuo Jiang can not be sure that other railway bureaus have not had major accidents, Now it is risky for my father to transfer to any railway bureau. Alas! Railway, railway, you are a little confusing to me!

As soon as this sigh rose in his heart, Zuo Jiang's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, the best way to solve the crisis for his father is to let Zuo Zheng be transferred out of the railway system and take up a local post! Zuo Jiang thought that in his previous life, there was no precedent for senior railway cadres to serve in local posts, and there were also precedents for being reused after going to local areas, but at that time, it was rumored that they all had a deep background, and it was easy to transfer work within the railway system.

On this day, Zuo Jiang accompanied Tao Fei home to visit his mother, at noon Secretary Tao also went home for dinner, he was very happy to see Zuo Jiang, he said to Zuo Jiang during the meal: "Xiao Jiang, last year our province was able to complete the task of national grain allocation really thanks to your father, if it wasn't for him to solve the problem of wagons in our province, it's really hard to say!" This railway is also really, saying that the reform will change the Songjiang railway, the province wants some wagons and has to run to Liaodong, if it is not for your father to govern there, this matter is really difficult to solve! ”

Tao Yong said to this extent, it is undoubtedly a great praise for Zuo Zheng, he likes Zuojiang more and more, he doesn't talk about those investments in Songjiang, the last time he told him a word about saving grain transportation, he got through it at one point, and solved this problem in a few days, which made Tao Yong very pleased.

Zuo Jiang couldn't help but move when he heard Secretary Tao's words, Secretary Tao has a certain influence in the central government, and he has a strong family background, after thinking about it, Zuo Jiang said: "Uncle Tao, in fact, my father is also very helpless in this director, since he became the director of this bureau, he has not been home, my mother is full of complaints!" Liaodong people are more xenophobic, my dad's work is very difficult to carry out when he first arrives, let's talk about the wagon plan for Songjiang, my dad has made special instructions, but the gang of people under his command are always in line with the yin, after I mentioned it to him last time, he sent Uncle Song to supervise this work to have today's effect. ”

Obedient and listening, Tao Yong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, thought about it and said: "I still know a little about Liaodong, the relationship between the cadres on the railway and the local government is very deep, and some cadres on the railway have arranged for the leaders of the province to speak for them, your father is an outsider, there is no foundation in Liaodong, and it is normal to have resistance at work!" ”

Zuo Jiang sighed and said: "Yes, the railway is really boring, if my father is really bored, I will persuade him not to do it, anyway, I have such a big company, it's no problem to eat!" ”

Tao Yong smiled when he heard it and said: "The child is angry, is it easy for your father to do it to this level, this level is something that you can't dream of, if your father is really unhappy, you can come to the place and change the environment!" ”
