Chapter 133: Different Paths to the Same End
Ouyang Wen was also very depressed during this period of time, because the new provincial party secretary Du Yuan was always unsalty to him. Although he took over the post of head of the provincial party committee organization with the support of Governor Cheng Hao, the central government did not officially clarify his appointment.
He knows very well that if he wants to officially become the organization minister of the provincial party committee, it is absolutely impossible without the support of Secretary Du - the secretary of the provincial party committee is in charge of cadres, and if the organization minister is not his cronies, then this secretary should not want to go into the mix.
Ouyang Wen really wanted to become Secretary Du's cronies, but Secretary Du may have heard that he was in the same line as Cheng Hao, so he was always very cold to him, and it is estimated that if this situation continues, his desire to be the head of the organization is very likely to be frustrated.
Therefore, these days, he has been looking for someone who can talk to Secretary Du, preferably the kind with whom he has a particularly good personal relationship. In that case, he can find an opportunity to visit Secretary Du's house in private to express his center for Secretary Du. Although this will inevitably offend Governor Cheng, as long as he climbs the bigger tree of Secretary Du, even if Governor Cheng knows, it is unlikely that he will have any big retaliation against himself - after all, Governor Cheng is also a person in the officialdom and knows the truth that people go to higher places. Besides, he has done a lot of work for him in the past few years, and he has worked hard without merit, and he should also understand his hardships......
Therefore, when he heard that Su Xiaodan had now appointed Mrs. Du as his godmother and that he was at Secretary Du's house for the Chinese New Year, his eyes immediately lit up: This is really a nowhere to find in the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it! Is there a better opportunity than this? Later, in the name of sending Su Xiaodan, I will go to Secretary Du's house to sit down, give him an early greeting, and then take the opportunity to talk to Secretary Du about his heart and express his attitude, isn't this very satisfying?
When Minister Ouyang was thinking like this, Su Xiaodan's phone suddenly rang, and it was Mrs. Du calling: "Dandan, where are you now? Why don't you go home yet? Godmother is so worried about you! Your godfather is also home, you come back quickly, our family of three has a good reunion, chatting and keeping the New Year!"
"Godmother, I'm at Minister Ouyang Wen's house now, and I'll be back later. ”
This is Ouyang Wen hurriedly motioned to Su Xiaodan to give him the phone. After getting the phone, he said with a smile on his face: "Sister Ye, Dandan's family and my family are old acquaintances, his father, Deputy Mayor Su, and I are classmates and comrades-in-arms, Dandan often comes to my house to play, don't worry." I'll send her back to your house myself. ”
"Ouch, Minister Ouyang, how can you be embarrassed? Do you want you, the big minister, to send her personally? Let Dandan come back by himself!"
"Sister Ye, you're welcome. Is Secretary Du at home? I just want to come over and pay a good birthday to him and you in advance. ”
"He just got back from the office. That's fine, just bother you to send Dandan, thank you!"
After hanging up the phone, Ouyang Wen called his wife to join him and excitedly went to the bedroom to find a change of clothes.
At this moment, Su Xiaodan's mobile phone rang again. When I looked at the number, it was a strange call. She estimated that it was Sneer Xiaotian who called from another mobile phone, so she handed the phone to Ouyang Bin and whispered: "If it is Sneng Xiaotian, you will say that I am at your house and am taking a bath now, so it is inconvenient to answer the phone." Don't say anything else!"
Although Ouyang Bin didn't know her intentions, he still obediently answered the call from Sneer Xiaotian as she ordered......
Half an hour later, Ouyang Wen followed behind Su Xiaodan and walked into Secretary Du's house with a spring breeze.
As soon as Secretary Du entered the door, he guessed his intention. In fact, from Secretary Du himself, he also hopes that Ouyang Wen can take the initiative to take refuge in his side - after all, he is now a newcomer, and he is also in urgent need of high-level support and help from those who have been operating in the province for many years. It's just that he saw that Ouyang Wen was on Cheng Hao's line, so he deliberately ignored him at the beginning, and suppressed him at every opportunity, the purpose was to want him to take the initiative to take refuge.
Now, Ouyang Wen is finally here, so Secretary Du is also sincerely happy.
In the course of the conversation, Ouyang Wen suddenly told Secretary Du a message: Governor Cheng Hao is going to Lengxi Village in Wushui County tomorrow, and he has listed Lengxi Village as the "Governor's Key Poverty Alleviation Contact Point", and tomorrow he will go there to list and carry out the first condolence activity, and it is said that this time he brought 200,000 yuan of condolences at once......
Secretary Du was taken aback, thought for a while, and immediately understood Cheng Hao's intentions: he must have obtained the information of the old chief's New Year's celebration in Lengxi Village from his own channels in the central government, so he hid it from himself and took the opportunity to approach the old chief in the name of "the governor's key poverty alleviation contact point......
"This Comrade Cheng Hao, who is the governor of a province, wants to carry out such a big condolence activity, why don't I, the secretary, and other members of the Standing Committee know about it? Isn't this a violation of the organizational principle?"
Secretary Du said with a little annoyance.
Ouyang Wen said: "He proposed the idea at the provincial governor's office meeting, and it was supported by the participants. I guess Governor Cheng thinks it's a matter for the government online, so he didn't ask for your opinion in advance!"
Secretary Du's face calmed down, thought for a while, and said, "What time is he going to leave for Wushui?"
"I heard that it was 8 o'clock in the morning, and I estimated that I arrived in Lengxi Village at 12 o'clock, just in time to have lunch with the villagers. ”
Secretary Du nodded and said, "I also have something to go to Lengxi Village tomorrow, it seems that I have to leave early." ”
At this time, Su Xiaodan came in and said to Secretary Du: "Dad, I heard that you are going to Lengxi Village tomorrow, I want to take your car to Mingguang and go home." ”
Secretary Du didn't know about the quarrel between her and Sneer Xiaotian, and asked strangely: "Dandan, why don't you go to Xiao Leng's house?"
Su Xiaodan's eyes were red, and he lowered his head and did not speak.
As soon as Secretary Du saw her expression, he knew that she and Sneer Xiaotian must be in conflict, so he smiled and said, "Okay, you get up early tomorrow, and we will leave at seven o'clock." ”
The next day, on the highway from the provincial capital to Wushui, many interesting things happened.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Que Haibo, secretary of the Mingguang Municipal Party Committee, took the head of the Organization Department, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau and other departments, as well as reporters from Mingguang TV Station, and a group of several cars, marched towards Wushui.
At the junction of Wushui County and another county, He Yuelong waited here early with several members of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, braving the biting cold wind and waiting for Secretary Que and his party to arrive.
Que Haibo and others had just left Mingguang City when they suddenly received a call from the secretary of the Linshi Municipal Party Committee. I only heard the secretary of the municipal party committee ask anxiously on the phone: "Secretary Que, the No. 1 car of Secretary Du of the provincial party committee is traveling on the highway in our city, heading straight for your Mingguang." Is he going to come to your city to visit some poor place? Why didn't you tell me in advance? It caught us off guard, and we didn't have time to go to the border to greet us. You're very unrighteous this time!"
Que Haibo was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Secretary Wang, I really don't know about this! What's the matter? Secretary Du's car went straight to our Mingguang?"
"Yes, how could you not know? Since your Mingguang was in another province in the past, Secretary Du can't go to other places, it must be your Mingguang. ”
Que Haibo hurriedly ordered the driver to stop, and said to the people behind: "Turn around immediately and rush to the junction of Mingguang and Tianxi to meet Secretary Du of the Provincial Party Committee!"
Before they had yet arrived at the border between Mingguang and Tianxi, Secretary Wang suddenly called again: "Old Que, what is going on today? Just now I received another report: Governor Cheng Hao's No. 2 car has also arrived on the highway in our city, and it seems that it is also coming straight to your Mingguang. What the hell is going on? I'm confused. Did you Mingguang have any major accidents such as production safety?"
Que Haibo snorted "phew", and scolded with a smile on the phone: "Lao Wang, can you say something nice on the first day of the Lunar New Year? We are safe and prosperous, and there will be no accidents...... I really don't know what's going on, though!"
In fact, Que Haibo had already guessed at this time: Secretary Du and Governor Cheng must have gone to Lengxi Village to visit the old chief in the name of condolences to the villagers. It's just that in one province, the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor of the province went to a village at the same time on the first day of the first lunar month to visit and comfort the villagers, which is not only unprecedented in the Chinese political arena, but also spreads out and will only become a laughing stock. I don't know what Secretary Du and Governor Cheng think......
However, he will not tell Secretary Wang about these speculations. After all, if Secretary Du and Governor Cheng came to Mingguang at the same time, it would really be a very glorious and honorable thing for him, the secretary of the Mingguang Municipal Party Committee......
But now that Que Haibo is happy, there is a question that makes him worried: If he receives Secretary Du, he will definitely have to accompany him to Wushui, so what should Governor Cheng do? One of them is the secretary of the provincial party committee and the other is the provincial governor, and they are both top leaders, and if they take one and not the other, it will be a big taboo......
At this time, he suddenly remembered Li Wu, the acting mayor who was about to go to Xinhuang County to offer condolences: Why don't you let him go to pick up Governor Cheng? This is just right: the secretary of the municipal party committee will take over the secretary of the provincial party committee, and the mayor will take over the governor.
So, he hurriedly called Li Wu and asked him to quickly turn around and go to the border between Mingguang and Tianxi to pick up Governor Cheng Hao......
Because the old chief had an explanation, Secretary Du only drove two cars: one car was his No. 1 car, and the other car was a few guards. He thought that he was unaware of his trip this time, and no one in the place should know. Who knows, as soon as he arrived at the junction of Tianxi and Mingguang, he found that there was a high-end car there. Que Haibo, secretary of the Mingguang Municipal Party Committee, with more than a dozen people, was already standing on the side of the road, braving the cold wind and looking around, and when he saw his car coming, they all greeted him with joyful faces.
