On the last weekend of his transfer from Hanjiang Province, Pei Yihong presided over an enlarged meeting of the provincial party committee, and publicly and seriously dealt with those responsible for serious violations of the steel project of Asia Iron and Steel United Company. At the meeting, Zhang Zhang, director of the Organization Department of the provincial party committee, announced the decision of the Hanjiang Provincial CPC Committee to punish 12 cadres at or above the deputy department level, including Shi Yanan, Fang Zhenggang, Gu Gensheng, and Long Dafei. Zhao Anbang made a big report on behalf of the provincial party committee and the provincial government.

In his report, Zhao Anbang summed up the lessons and lessons of Wenshan's 7 million tons of steel and reaffirmed the clear position of the provincial party committee in implementing the central macroeconomic regulation and control policy. At the same time, combined with the reform practice of the Han River in the past 26 years, the difference between reform exploration and illegal operation is discussed, and the issue of reform and the original sin of reformers is mentioned again. Party members and cadres are required to maintain and carry forward the spirit of reform and exploration that dares to be the first in the world, but also to administer according to law, enforce orders and prohibitions, and not let their own governance decisions bring original sin. In the end, Zhao Anbang said emotionally: "...... Comrades, no one should feel aggrieved! Especially these twelve comrades who were dealt with! It is not okay to leave this violation unaddressed! Whether it violates the current round of macroeconomic regulation and control policies of the central government is the only criterion for the Hanjiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China to deal with the Asian Iron and Steel Union incident. But to be a man, there must be a standard of being a man, and to be a communist, there must be a standard of being a communist, and this is the eternal standard! ”

More than 3,000 party members and cadres under the rostrum warmly applauded Zhao Anbang's wonderful speech.

Zhao Anbang was "different" again, and after the applause subsided, he took off the script and made some plays, "Comrades, the standard of being a person and the standard of being a communist are standards that cannot be lowered!" In this sense, some of our cadres who have been dealt with are not necessarily bad cadres, and some cadres who have not been dealt with are not necessarily good cadres! To put it bluntly, some of our cadres have low personality and bad quality! Don't say that you are a communist, you don't even have the qualifications to be a man! The kind of cadres I am talking about are available in the meeting today, and I ask you to ask yourself: Do you still have a flesh-and-blood relationship with the people who gave birth to you and raised you? You may not be suspected of economic corruption like those corrupt officials in the Gulong corruption case, but this kind of soul corruption is even more terrible, and the harm to the country, the people, and our reform cause may be even greater! In your eyes, there is nothing but a black gauze hat! For the sake of the black gauze hat, dare to brag about any cow and dare to do anything! As long as you can climb up, even if you break the backbone of the people and crush the heads of the people, you will not hesitate! In your eyes, the common people are just inconsequential numbers! Oh, comrades, it is not my invention to say that the common people are numbers, but the invention of a local responsible cadre of a considerable level here! In his opinion, the number of ordinary people is far less important than the GDP number, GDP can make him promoted, what are the common people? You can neither promote him nor remove him! This kind of person is so stupid that he has forgotten the truth that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat! To such stupid and shameless cadres, I must warn today! The investigation of Wenshan and relevant departments and bureaus by the joint investigation team of the provincial party committee proves that there is no corruption problem of abusing power for personal gain in this Asian steel federation incident, which is very gratifying to our Hanjiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China! ”

As soon as the speech ended, the applause rang out again, and it lasted for a long time. Zhao Anbang noticed that Pei Yihong, Yu Huabei, Minister Zhang of the Organization Department, Vice Governor Wang, and all members of the Standing Committee who were sitting on the rostrum were also applauding him warmly.

After the meeting ended, Pei Yihong came over and said happily: "Anbang, you said it well, to be a communist, you must have the standard of being a communist, and you should really beat those officials and bad cadres with corrupt souls!" ”

Zhao Anbang joked: "Lao Pei, why don't you knock?" The harder you hit, the better the results! ”

Pei Yihong was very serious, "Hey, this isn't your brother making a big report, it's not too appropriate for me to interject casually!" ”

Zhao Anbang knew in his heart, "Come on, Lao Pei, you will be promoted immediately, why should you offend people in the end!" ”

The subsequent changes dazzled Zhao Anbang and the cadres of Han Giang Province. On the fourth day after the enlarged meeting of the provincial party committee, Pei Yihong was promoted to Beijing and entered the ranks of party and state leaders. On the same day, the central government parachuted a provincial party secretary to the Han River. The new secretary of the provincial party committee is called He Xinzhao, who is just 50 years old, and Zhao Anbang has met at some meetings in Beijing, although he is not too familiar with it, he can still talk about it. Six days later, Wang Rucheng, member of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee and secretary of the Ningchuan Municipal Party Committee of a major economic city at the vice provincial level, was transferred to a certain province in southwest China to serve as acting governor and deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. Eight days later, Yu Huabei was appointed secretary of the Hanjiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and chairman of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference while retaining the original deputy secretary of the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee. This arrangement means that the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in North China is only a transition, and the terminal of his career is already the Provincial Political Consultative Conference. Ten days later, Mi Jianlin, the mayor of Ningchuan, was transferred to a southeastern province to serve as vice governor and deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

Although Yu Huabei failed to become the governor or secretary of the provincial party committee as he wished, he also survived to the ministerial level, and he was still in a good mood, but he was very upset for him, and pondered and said: "Anbang, I guess your problem is still in the other, the edge is too exposed!" If you can be as calm and calm as Lao Pei, the secretary of the provincial party committee may be yours! ”

Zhao Anbang didn't know what to say to Yu Huabei, Pei Yihong had a heart-to-heart with him before going to Beijing to take office: let him not think too much, saying that the central government let him continue to stay as the governor of Hanjiang Province, and not move for the time being, mainly from the political and social stability of this important economic province. Zhao Anbang didn't say it, but he thought in his heart that this was just one side of the problem. On the other hand, he was a little bolder, and there were more punishments in his portfolio. What is even more unfortunate is that it has encountered macroeconomic regulation and control and the trouble of these 7 million tons of steel, and the central government must of course be more cautious, which is completely understandable.

Yu Huabei said again: "Lao Pei has a brain, this time his heart is ruthless, and even his subordinates love Shi Yanan!" ”

Zhao Anbang also remembered Shi Yanan, "Old Yu, Secretary He Xinzhao doesn't know much about Comrade Yanan's coming down, such a good comrade can't be frozen, I want to transfer her to the provincial **, first be the deputy secretary general!" ”

Yu Huabei knew what he meant, and thought about it seriously, "Anbang, I think it's okay!" If Comrade Xinzhao has an idea, then I will make a new suggestion, let Shi Yanan come to our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and arrange the deputy secretary for the transition! ”

Zhao Anbang and Yu Huabei tacitly shook hands vigorously, "Okay, old Yu, let's just say that!" It's better to come to the provincial ** side, Shi Yanan has been doing ** and economic work on the block, so it's smoother! ”

Yu Huabei talked about him again, "Anbang, you also want to open up, Comrade Xinzhao is only fifty years old after all, and he has a bright future, maybe he will leave after two years of training on the Han River!" You listen to my brother's advice, we must be in the right position! ”

Zhao Anbang knew that Yu Huabei had good intentions, and nodded with a smile, "Old Yu, don't worry, I will put myself in the right position, and I will definitely respect Comrade Xinzhao as I respect Lao Pei!" I can think about it, really, I mean it! ”

When he said this, Zhao Anbang sighed very emotionally: It was really a flick of his fingers, and twenty-six years passed in a hurry. In the past 26 years, there have been constant ups and downs, and disputes have arisen frequently, and he and Yu Huabei have had a heart-to-heart relationship at the beginning of the team in Gulong County, and then they parted ways, and in some historical periods, they have become opposites. Objectively speaking, many of the punishments in his file bag are related to this old colleague, they are really a pair of officialdom enemies!

Yu Huabei is not a rival now, he is a comrade with similar positions and feelings, and what he said was sincere and sincere, "Anbang, when the relevant central departments solicited opinions, I seriously recommended you. Who else knows you better in Hangang Province than I do? I'll be honest, some of the punishments in your history have actually been wrong, and they have been handled wrongly......"

Zhao Anbang took Yu Huabei's hand, "Old Yu, don't say it, I know all these situations!" Isn't it good now? Lao Pei went to Beijing, and our secretary and mayor of Ningchuan were all transferred to provincial-level local officials. What does this mean? Doesn't it show that the central authorities have fully affirmed the work of our Hanjiang Province, especially the work of Ningchuan? I think that if Comrade Tianming, the old secretary of Ningchuan, knows underground, he should also smile at Jiuquan! He joked again, "Hey, your brother really shouldn't have treated me and Tianming like this back then, I'm afraid that Tianming won't be able to forgive you now!" ”

Yu Huabei smiled bitterly and sighed, "Anbang, if you give you a dream tomorrow, apologize for me!" ”

Zhao Anbang smiled: "Hey, I'm also joking, don't take it seriously!" Let's get down to business! Old Yu, we also have to have points in our hearts, Comrade Xinzhao is not familiar with the place, and there is a process of familiarization with the situation on the Han River, and the comrades in our team and Comrade Xinzhao will also have a run-in process. In this process, your brother has to pay attention to remind me, if you find out that I have gone wrong, you will kick me secretly, don't let my alternative affect the unity of the team! ”

Yu Huabei said: "Anbang, you just have to rest assured, if you don't say it, I will remind you!" ”

He Xinzhao, secretary of the new provincial party committee, kept a low profile and made a public speech at a meeting of party and government cadres throughout the province, saying that he was sincerely afraid that he would be treading on thin ice if he was asked to go to such an economic province as the Hanjiang River to preside over the work, but he was afraid that he would fail to live up to the expectations of the central authorities and the 50 million people of the Hanjiang River. The new secretary spoke highly of the historical achievements of Hanjiang Province's reform and opening up, and declared that he had started from a very high position. He Xinzhao respected Zhao Anbang and the comrades in the team very much, and said at the first Standing Committee meeting: Everyone should do what they should do, and my main work now is investigation and study. I only have one request, that is, to cheer up the cadres and masses in our province! We can't let Wenshan's seven million tons of steel be discouraged. Hanjiang Province is not the only 7 million tons of steel, we are a large economic province that has made great contributions to the national finance, and the achievements are obvious to all, and the central government fully affirms. He also said that heroes who fell are still heroes, like Comrade Shi Yanan, secretary of the Yuanyuanshan Municipal Party Committee, and Comrade Fang Zhenggang, who was punished, are all good in essence.

It was after that Standing Committee that Zhao Anbang raised the issue of the use of Shi Yanan, "Secretary Xinzhao, since you have such a high opinion of Comrade Shi Yanan, I will make a suggestion, you still have to use it!" ”

He Xinzhao smiled: "Of course! If you don't need such a good cadre, what else do we use?! Governor Zhao, I completely agree with your opinion! He also confessed, "Comrade Yihong specifically mentioned two comrades when he handed over the shift to me, one is Fang Zhenggang and the other is Shi Yanan. When it came to Shi Yanan, the old secretary was emotional, saying that this female comrade is rare, she dares to explore, but also has the courage to take responsibility, and maintains flesh-and-blood ties with our people! ”

Zhao Anbang said: "Yes, the flesh-and-blood connection between Comrade Yanan and the common people is not a show! When he stepped down and left Wenshan, he adopted Xiaowan, a helpless orphan girl. She also publicly apologized to the people of Wenshan in the newspaper, but she never thought that as soon as this apology letter was published, thousands of cadres and people came to see her off, and the scene was touching! ”

He Xinzhao nodded, "I know this!" Governor Zhao, you say, how do you want to arrange this female comrade? ”

Zhao Anbang thought about it, and said carefully: "Let her rest for a while, settle down for a while, and then arrange to come to the province!" After all, if you make a mistake, you will be temporarily demoted, and you will be the deputy secretary general of the province first! ”

He Xinzhao glanced at him and smiled meaningfully, "Governor Zhao, Comrade Shi Yanan was formerly the secretary of the Wenshan Municipal Party Committee, my opinion, it is best to arrange it in the provincial party committee!" Arrange the deputy secretary general of the provincial party committee, are you optimistic? ”

This is what Zhao Anbang didn't expect, "Secretary Xinzhao, you are really powerful, you took away the general in my photo!" "Again, he said half-truthfully, "Lao Yu still wants her from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, so I'll let Lao Yu not fight with me!" ”

He Xinzhao quipped: "Hey, hey, Governor Zhao, I'm not fighting with you, I'm a newcomer, you old comrades have to talk about style!" Besides, I was the first to fall in love with Shi Yanan, I said when Secretary Pei recommended the class, let this female comrade come to the provincial party committee! If you don't believe it, call the old secretary now! ”

Zhao Anbang couldn't fight, "Okay, okay, Secretary Xinzhao, you have a big mouth, I'll talk about some style!" ”

He Xinzhao said again: "Hey, Governor Zhao, I have taken away one of your generals, and I will also help you make some contributions, and I am ready to find a familiar leader with the national ministries and commissions tomorrow, and approve the four major projects that Wenshan New Area has decided to keep as soon as possible!" ”

Zhao Anbang was very happy in his heart, but he said: "Come on, Secretary Xinzhao, this is also your business!" ”

After all, He Xinzhao came down from the power department in the capital, and the four major projects in Wenshan were originally in the process of re-approval. Shi Yanan was arranged to the provincial party committee again, which really made Zhao Anbang happy, so he had a very good impression of the new provincial party secretary.

However, Liu Yan, the wife of the deputy director of the Provincial Department of Labor and Personnel, had different views on these matters, and privately chattered with him at home: "Anbang, let me see, this new provincial party secretary is very sophisticated!" Don't look young, after all, I have been trained in a large agency in Beijing. Although he was quite low-key after taking office, he was also very pragmatic. The seven million tons of steel are now his business, can he not solve it well? You are beaten by the board, and he will do it to be a good man. What's more, he has accepted Lao Pei's cadre team in Hanjiang Province in a harmonious atmosphere, and using Yanan is just the beginning! ”

Zhao Anbang thought about it, but said: "Don't say that, everyone will always fight for good cadres!" ”

Liu Yan smiled implicitly, "Anbang, look at it, you, Lao Yu and him are not the same weight level!" ”

Zhao Anbang laughed at himself: "That is, He Xinzhao is more politically mature than me, otherwise the central government would not have sent him over!" ”

When he said this, Zhao Anbang's heart churned with an indescribable bitterness: maybe a difficult and complicated run-in is about to begin, just like the run-in with Pei Yihong at the beginning. Pei Yihong is an old Hanjiang cadre, he knows each other well, his style is democratic, he pays great attention to major decisions and cadre personnel arrangements, and communicates with him and the main members of the team, so the run-in period is relatively short. What will be the run-in with He Xinzhao? I'm afraid it's inevitable that there will be some bumps. He Xinzhao has a modest and cautious work style of inheriting and carrying forward Pei Yihong's collective leadership and democratic decision-making, and he also has the problem of putting himself in the right position. Lao Yu reminded him correctly, if he does not put himself in the right position, plays old qualifications, and regards himself as a meritorious hero, it will affect the unity of the provincial party committee, and even affect the following cities and cities......
