Secretary Zhang's stomach was visibly shy. Meng Weizhou didn't seem to notice at first. He found out the last time he was swimming with Secretary Zhang. Not long ago, Secretary Zhang went around outside, first went to Beijing to run a few projects, visited a few old comrades, and then went to the coast for inspection. At the Gulangyu Beach, Meng Weizhou found for the first time that Secretary Zhang's belly was already very big, and immediately thought of words such as self-cultivation, measurement, and the prime minister's belly that could support the boat. Secretary Zhang is indeed the prime minister, who can hold the boat in his belly. Now that the thinking of cadres is becoming more and more complicated, it is commonplace to talk about leaders behind their backs, and they also have a lot of criticism for Zhang Zhaolin. But Meng Weizhou noticed that all the ugly words, in Zhang Zhaolin's place, were in the left ear and out of the right ear, and he never lingered. When reporting to the veteran comrades in Beijing, Secretary Zhang did not express any complaints, which made the veteran comrades very relieved. An old comrade highly praised and said, Xiao Zhang, it is a blessing for the masses to have a good comrade like you as a secretary in your hometown! If the cadres and masses of the whole region can think in one place and exert their strength in one place, there is great hope for their hometown. When Meng Weizhou heard this sentence at that time, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but he still desperately stopped. The burst of laughter, which was almost about to stand out, turned into a grateful smile that gently rippled on his cheeks. It's not that he wants to laugh at Secretary Zhang's report for being untrue or anything, he doesn't dare to laugh at this. A laugh will turn into a thousand hatreds. He remembered a very indecent joke. I listened to a certain public talk and said that when I talked about men and women, I really thought in one place and worked hard in one place. Meng Weizhou is still a child boy and has no experience, but he guesses that it should be like that.

Secretary Zhang really doesn't care about people's nonsense, he only focuses on big things. All major events must be grasped with momentum and influence, so as to enhance the local popularity. Some people look at the problem as extreme, saying that Secretary Zhang wants to improve local popularity, but in fact, he is showing off himself, making capital, making political achievements, and improving his popularity. Recently, the region has done another big thing, and it is about to open a program-controlled telephone. This is one of the key projects of the "Two Walks Project" in the region. To achieve the "two walks", communication is too important. The original plan was to use this project as a gift for the "May Day" Labor Day, but for some reason it could not be completed on schedule, so it was changed to a gift for the birthday of the "July 1" party. But it was not completed, so it had to be changed to the "Eleventh" National Day gift. Secretary Zhang made a very serious phone call to the director of the regional post and telecommunications bureau, saying that it could not be delayed any longer, and if there was any problem in the "11th day", you should go to the TV station and explain it to the people of the whole region. Although the Post and Telecommunications Bureau is in charge of all regulations, it still respects the local government committee very much. He told the director that he would use his party vote and position to guarantee that he would open the program-controlled telephone on time at 8 a.m. on the 11th day. It's the middle of September, and there's no problem looking at the progress. Secretary Zhang began to think about how to make the matter of opening a program-controlled telephone a little more powerful. This is a major event that the people of the whole region are keenly concerned about! The regional post and telecommunications bureau is preparing to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony in a lively manner. Secretary Zhang disagreed. Now everything is being cut in the ribbon, and the masses have opinions, and they are unconventional. He instructed CTT to study another plan for the celebration. Without waiting for the plan of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau to come out, Secretary Zhang had an idea of his own. It is planned to make the first call at 8 o'clock in the morning of the "Eleventh Day" to report the good news to Secretary Liu of the Provincial Party Committee on behalf of the people of the whole region, and thank the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Party Committee for their support. The TV station will broadcast the live broadcast of the phone calls to thousands of households in the whole district to inspire people. Secretary Zhang called Commissioner Lu and Secretary-General Li to discuss this idea. Commissioner Lu said that this idea is good, chic, simple and meaningful. Secretary-General Li also said that this is good, this is good. Meng Weizhou thought to himself, should he also echo it, saying that Secretary Zhang's plan is very innovative? In the end, I still held back. You can't talk about planning. The word "planning" used to be associated with conspiracy, and officialdom still thinks it's a derogatory term. If you want to talk about it, you can only talk about planning, planning, and so on. And planning is too scheming, which is still inappropriate; It seems that it is only about planning, and it seems that the word "fundraising" has the meaning of extreme hard work. Of course, this is not the explanation in the dictionary, the dictionary is a dead language, the language of life is alive, and the language of officialdom is the most exquisite. So let's talk about planning. But before it was too late to speak, Secretary Zhang gave instructions to Secretary-General Li. The leaders of the province are very busy, and Secretary-General Li has worked hard, so he went to the province to send a report to the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee and obtain Secretary Liu's consent.

Three days later, Secretary-General Li returned from the provincial capital to report to Secretary Zhang. The provincial leaders are indeed very busy, and it is really difficult to connect, but things are finally almost implemented.

It turned out that Secretary-General Li first reported the thoughts of the prefectural party committee to Secretary-General Gu, the provincial party committee. Secretary-General Gu highly praised this style of not engaging in pomp and circumstance, and said that he would definitely convey the ideas of your prefectural committee to Secretary Liu. Secretary-General Li stayed at the regional provincial office for one night, and the next day, he called Secretary-General Gu to contact him. Secretary-General Gu replied that Secretary Liu agreed in principle. For specific arrangements, please connect with Secretary Liu's secretary, Secretary Wu. Secretary Wu is also very busy, how difficult it is to find Secretary Liu, how difficult it is to find Secretary Wu. It was twelve o'clock that night that day, and I hung up Secretary Wu's phone. After all, Secretary Wu was the person next to the secretary, and he was very enthusiastic, saying that he had gone to bed, but he still got up and answered the phone. Secretary Wu said, "Secretary-General Gu told me about this. What are you Secretary Zhang going to say on the phone? Secretary-General Li said that it is good news, on behalf of the people of the whole region, and thanks to the provincial party committee and the provincial government for their support. Secretary Wu said, this way, I can't make it clear on the phone, I will wait for you in the office at 7:50 tomorrow morning, and you will write what your Secretary Zhang wants to say to me. At eight o'clock, I want to go out with Secretary Liu. After that, Secretary-General Li dialed Secretary Zhang's phone overnight. Secretary Zhang pondered for a while and said a few words one by one. Secretary-General Li quickly jotted it down here. I put down the phone and copied it again. I wasn't satisfied with my words, but it was late at night, and the typing shops outside were closed. Then he said to Director Yuan of the office, Xiao Yuan, how is your handwriting? Director Yuan said modestly, no, no. Secretary-General Li pushed the pen and paper in front of him. Director Yuan copied it seriously. Secretary-General Li saw that Xiao Yuan's handwriting was okay. But Director Yuan had just written half a line, and Secretary-General Li said wait a while, wait a while. Secretary-General Li suddenly realized just now that although this manuscript is only 100 words, it must have a title, otherwise, how can a bald article be sent? However, this is the first time in his life that Secretary-General Li has encountered such an article, and he doesn't know how to deal with it. It is not possible to mark the speech of Comrade XX in a certain place, nor can it mark a report on something, and it is nondescript. It's really the old revolution that has encountered new problems. Secretary-General Li paced Fang Bu and pondered for a while before he came up with a title that was not too satisfactory: Comrade Zhang Zhaolin's telephone call to Secretary Liu of the Provincial Party Committee on October 1. After the busyness, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.

Early the next morning, Secretary-General Li and Director Yuan delivered the manuscript to Secretary Wu on time. Secretary Wu warmly shook Secretary General Li's hand and said, "Okay, I'll let you know when it's settled." Sit down for a cup of tea? Secretary-General Li said goodbye and said, no, you are busy. Can Xiao Yuan in our office contact you at any time? Secretary Wu said, OK! Yes!

After listening to Secretary-General Li's report, Secretary Zhang expressed his satisfaction and instructed Secretary-General Li to tell Xiao Yuan to contact his family at any time.

The contact with the province was basically proper, and the post and telecommunications bureau came to report to the director, saying that the ribbon-cutting activity was still going to be held, and their provincial bureau would come to lead. This made Secretary Zhang embarrassed. The provincial post and telecommunications bureau is not easy to offend, and the regional telecommunications construction must rely on their support. But if you agree to cut the ribbon, it is not easy to explain to the province. Secretary General Gu of the Provincial Party Committee praised them for not cutting the ribbon, and reported to Secretary Liu of the Provincial Party Committee. Secretary Zhang thought about it repeatedly for a while and made a statement: agreed in principle to engage in ribbon-cutting activities. The atmosphere should be warm and the scene should be simple; It's not about pomp, it's about celebrating. Privately, however, he had a plan to instruct the television station to record all the contents of the celebrations, but the television only reported the good news to the provincial party committee, and the videos of other scenes were only kept as data. Because, the leaders of the Provincial Post and Telecommunications Bureau were present in other scenes, and if they didn't record the video, people might have opinions. Whether or not to report is a matter of news origin, and reporters have the right to choose the angle of the report, which can be regarded as having nothing to do with the intention of the local committee. As long as the news report is noted, the provincial party committee will be easy to say. As a last resort, I had to do it.

Soon it will be September 30th, and there is no final news from the provincial party committee. Director Yuan of the office came back with a phone call every day. He inquired that Secretary Liu had gone on a business trip to Beijing. The original plan was to return to the province on the 29th, and the flight arrived at 10:40 in the morning. Due to the weather, I changed to take the train, and if I was on time, I arrived at the station at 11 o'clock in the morning on the 30th. Director Yuan said that after making a phone call, he immediately rushed to the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee to wait for Secretary Wu.

Until four o'clock in the afternoon, Director Yuan did not call, Secretary General Li was anxious, called the office, and the comrades in the office said that the manuscript had arrived, and Director Yuan came back by train. Secretary-General Li was angry, blaming them for not making a phone call to report first, the leaders here were in a hurry. The person who answered the phone in the office was a girl, frightened, and hurriedly said that Director Yuan had just hurriedly explained that she was catching the train. I was just about to call back when your call came, Secretary-General Li.

Secretary-General Li didn't listen so much, and hurriedly ran to report to Secretary Zhang, so that Secretary Zhang could rest assured. Secretary Zhang patted his thigh and said, this Xiao Yuan, his brain is so inactive, I don't know how to send a fax? You see, the busier it is, the more chaotic it is. Quality problem, quality problem!

Secretary-General Li felt that he was responsible for this matter, and forgot to ask Xiao Yuan to send a fax. So he said, yes, I told him to send a fax. Busy, may forget. But it's not a mistake, the train will arrive at the station at 7:10 a.m. tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Meng Weizhou was ordered to pick up the station. He was worried. Because there are almost no delays on this train, sometimes an hour a night. If that's the case today, it will be miserable. If there is no draft set by the province, how can Secretary Zhang call? I can't call the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee to ask for that manuscript again. What to ask? Ask us: How did Secretary Zhang make a phone call to Secretary Liu?

Meng Weizhou felt that the province was too rigid in doing things. Isn't it just a phone call? It's so cumbersome. Secretary Zhang was originally very good at speaking, but I really don't know how to talk about such a restriction.

Sure enough, it was late. When I inquired, I said that I was expected to arrive at 7:25. If you can get up to this time, you can't miss something, and if you exceed 7:40, it's dangerous.

Fortunately, the train finally arrived at 7:25. Director Yuan raised his hand high from afar. Meng Weizhou also raised his hand high. But there are so many people that Director Yuan can't hurry. The two shook hands and immediately ran to the car. As soon as he got in the car, Director Yuan took out the manuscript and handed it to Meng Weizhou. Meng Weizhou continued the manuscript and said that it would be much easier for you to send a fax. Director Yuan immediately realized that he was stupid to be busy all night, so he covered up and thought about sending faxes, but I heard that the machine here of the Confidential Bureau has not been working recently, and the receiving effect is not good. I'm afraid of making a mistake, so I just send it back. Meng Weizhou opened the manuscript and saw that it was two and a half pages, printed by a computer, in a format like a cross talk corner book. As soon as you browse it, it's a very common thing. Then he sighed, it was too serious, too serious. Director Yuan said that the leaders above did not speak casually. When the former secretary of the provincial party committee was at a meeting in Beijing, when a CCTV reporter interviewed him, because he did not prepare a speech in advance, he did not match the preface and the afterword after a few sentences, and the impact was very bad.

The new Telecom Building is extraordinary. In the business hall on the first floor, the main leaders of the prefectural party committee, the leaders of the Provincial Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and the responsible comrades of relevant departments were waiting for the arrival of eight o'clock. According to the arrangement, after making a phone call, the leading comrades went outside to hold a simple and solemn ribbon-cutting ceremony. Secretary Zhang had a warm conversation with the leaders of the Provincial Post and Telecommunications Bureau. The TV reporters are all ready. Meng Weizhou arrived, walked up to Secretary Zhang as if nothing happened, and handed over an envelope. Secretary Zhang took the envelope as if it was okay and didn't open it immediately. After a while, the leaders of the Provincial Post and Telecommunications Bureau accosted other comrades, and Secretary Zhang took out the manuscript, smoked a cigarette slowly, and read it again. Secretary Zhang stuffed the manuscript into his pocket and glanced at Meng Weizhou expressionlessly. Meng Weizhou knew that Secretary Zhang was looking at him, but he pretended not to know and greeted the reporters. Secretary Zhang especially admired Meng Weizhou in these details. changed to someone else, and sent this manuscript to Secretary Zhang, he must have been in a hurry, but Meng Weizhou acted as if nothing had happened. Therefore, except for Secretary Zhang, Commissioner Lu, Secretary-General Li and Meng Weizhou, no one present knew that there was such a script for this scene, and this script had just been delivered, and no one knew that Secretary Zhang, who was talking and laughing, had been sweating profusely on his back.

As soon as eight o'clock arrived, Secretary Zhang pressed the speakerphone button of the telephone and personally hung up the phone of Secretary Liu's office of the provincial party committee——

Hey, Secretary Liu? Hello!

Be. Which one, please?

I'm Zhang Zhaolin.

Oh, Comrade Zhaolin, hello!

Secretary Liu, I have good news for you. The program-controlled telephone in our district was officially opened today. This is the first call we made after we opened the program. The six million people of our whole region are very grateful for the care of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, and we will further intensify the reform and opening up, conscientiously implement the "two-walk project", and strive to achieve unconventional economic development!

Then, Secretary Liu's loud voice came from the phone.

Television reporters were nervously busy.

The news was broadcast on regional television that night. Naturally arranged in the headlines. It was replayed for three more days after that. The next night, the news was also broadcast on provincial television. On the third day, the provincial daily newspaper made a headline on the subject, and also distributed a commentary titled: Topics other than news. Subtitle: No ribbon cutting, no celebration, applaud such an opening ceremony!
