Fang Zhenggang and his family said last night that they would come to pay New Year's greetings, but they didn't go out on the morning of the fifth day of the North China Lunar New Year. Originally, I wanted to go to see Mr. Tang, a professor at the University of Finance and Economics, but because Fang Zhenggang and his family were coming, they were temporarily canceled. After breakfast, Yu Huabei and his wife took care of the flowers and plants in the greenhouse, and they were in a good mood.

At this time, the wife will inevitably have to say a few words, regardless of whether he wants to listen to it or not," ...... Old Yu, you know what? In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, the No. 5 courtyard on the opposite side of the door can be lively, many small cars in various cities are parked at the door, and the old lady has been ushering in the send-off! Yu Huabei held the kettle, watered the flowers carefully, and did not answer his wife's ballast.

The secretary inadvertently talked about this, and besides, he lives at No. 4 Republic Road, and is door-to-door with Liu Huanzhang, the secretary of the old provincial party committee, why can't he see it? This situation shows that the old secretary of the family does have popularity, and the secretary of the provincial party committee for more than ten years has not been in vain. Although the old secretary died of cancer last year, and the corruption of his youngest son Liu Pei has also entered the legal process, and it is estimated that he will be sentenced to more than ten years, the cadres promoted by the old secretary have not forgotten to drink water and think about the source.

The wife said again: "Lao Pei and Anbang's wife Liu Yan also passed yesterday, I saw it with my own eyes!" ”

Yu Huabei was stunned, and then asked his wife: "Then why don't you go over and have a look?" I'm busy, are you busy? ”

My wife made a bitter face, "Huan Lao's bones are not cold, you will let Liu Pei in, what should I say to others?" ”

Yu Huabei said solemnly: "Why do you think so? Liu Pei: Did I do it? The case was decided by the Standing Committee, didn't Anbang's old subordinate Qian Huiren also do it? It's the duty, what can we do! ”

My wife complained: "What about it, the Commission for Discipline Inspection was not under your control, what are you doing with this power?" Guilty of sinning! Hey, Lao Yu, why did I hear that Secretary Qin of the county party committee of Wenshan Gulong had an accident again? Do you want to send an investigation team after the holiday? ”

Yu Huabei glanced at his wife and said mockingly: "Can this kind of thing wait until after the holiday?" Give him a good opportunity for the Spring Festival, and don't you charge another hundred and eighty thousand? The investigation team was sent down before the holiday, which is enough for the secretary of the county party committee! ”

My wife said, "I think it's enough for you!" You used to be the secretary of the Wenshan Municipal Party Committee, and now you are the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, what are you doing with Gu Long's case? When you step down one day, I'm afraid that no one will come to our house! ”

Yu Huabei's good mood was ruined: his wife was right, and this situation may really become a reality in the near future. The republican road is not simple, high-ranking officials gather, when they are in office, they can't see the people's backs, but they can be seen after stepping down: some leaders, such as Huan Lao, are still in the market after retiring, and the New Year's holidays are more lively than when they are on stage; However, no one answered other veteran comrades, as was the case with Lao Shi, the former secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Fortunately, Secretary Liu of the Commission for Discipline Inspection had returned from the Central Party School before the holiday, and he was able to let go of the stall he was also in charge of, including the corruption case of the Gulong team. This corruption case was first discovered by Fang Zhenggang and Shi Yanan, and he was extremely shocked by the severity of the circumstances: Qin Wenchao, secretary of the Gulong County Party Committee, was suspected of selling official positions, and even dared to accept the money of the deputy county magistrate around him. The deputy county magistrate wanted to join the Standing Committee of the county party committee, and gave Qin Wenchao 40,000 yuan twice, and then went to Fang Zhenggang and Shi Yanan to give gifts and run officials, and was arrested by Fang Zhenggang and Shi Yanan, and Qin Wenchao's bribery problem was also exposed.

My wife said about Fang Zhenggang very dissatisfied, "This little party is not like it, it used to be the second day of the new year, and the third day of the new year at the latest came to pay New Year's greetings to your old leader, and this year I went to Wenshan to be the mayor, and it was delayed until the fifth ...... of the new year."

Yu Huabei interrupted his wife's words, "Hey, don't blame Xiao Fang, in the past, the young man was an idler in the provincial organs, and now he is a feudal official in an important town in the north of our province, how can he talk the same thing?" Besides, they are currently in full swing to build a new industrial zone, and there are many related units and yamen to run, so it would be good to be able to come over today! ”

My wife didn't say that Fang Zhenggang was just right, and he talked about the snow clearing on the Republic Road, "I think our agency affairs bureau is also a yamen, and the snow is so heavy, I didn't expect to arrange someone to sweep the snow, and it almost made me slip!" I called Director Zhang, and Director Zhang promised well, but there has been no movement until now......"

Yu Huabei was unhappy again, "Hey, can you be nosy?" The whole republican road is remarkable to you? ”

Speaking of which, the doorbell rang, and my wife opened the door to see that it was Fang Zhenggang and his wife.

Fang Zheng happily apologized as soon as they met, "Secretary Yu, Aunt Zhang, I should have come to see you a long time ago, but this year's Spring Festival is very busy for a bunch of projects in Wenshan, so you didn't come until today, are you not surprised?" ”

Yu Huabei joked: "I'm not surprised, your Aunt Zhang is surprised, and she was still talking about you just now!" ”

My wife hurriedly said: "Yes, I was talking to Lao Yu, I made dumplings in the second year of junior high school and waited for you to eat!" ”

Fang Zhenggang's wife, Cheng Xiaohui, clapped her hands and smiled: "Aunt Zhang, that's great, let's have a reunion dinner at your house today!" Don't you know, we have a miserable Spring Festival! I have just returned to the provincial capital from Wenshan for four days, and I haven't even eaten a meal at home, and I have been engaging in corruption outside, and I have drunk the party style and my stomach! ”

Yu Huabei picked it up with a smile, "You still drink your wife back to back, Xiaohui, and Zhenggang back to back, right?" ”

Cheng Xiaohui said angrily: "Secretary Yu, look at you!" The leader of the provincial party committee also joked with us, you have to criticize him! ”

Yu Huabei glanced at Fang Zhenggang kindly, "What are you criticizing?" I have to praise, praise well! Wenshan has a good mayor like Fang Zhenggang, and there is great hope for the economic rise! In addition, this young man Zhenggang still has righteousness, and he has done a good job in anti-corruption and clean government. ”

Fang Zheng hurriedly waved his hand, "Hey, Secretary Yu, you and the province are working on this case, we are just cooperating!" ”

Yu Huabei affirmed: "You guys have cooperated well!" After that, he waved his hand and said to Cheng Xiaohui, "Okay, Xiaohui, let's make dumplings with your Aunt Zhang, I and Zhenggang will kill a few plates, and by the way, we will talk about some work matters!" ”

The wife took Cheng Xiaohui to make dumplings, Yu Huabei put a chessboard on the coffee table in the living room, played chess with Fang Zhenggang, and said as he went, "Zhenggang, Qin Wenchao seems to be corrupt, will Wang Lin, the person you recommended to host the work, also fall into it?" The comrades of the investigation team reported to me that the case involved a relatively large area! ”

Fang Zhenggang said: "I thought about this, it shouldn't be!" Wang Lin is a classmate of mine in college, a very decent comrade, who has been the county magistrate of Gulong County for just over a year. He didn't want to be the acting secretary of the county party committee, but I and Secretary Yanan pushed him up! Hey, what's wrong, Secretary Yu, did the investigation team find out anything wrong with Wang Lin? ”

Yu Huabei shook his head, "That's not true, I'm just talking casually, since you know Wang Lin so well, and the municipal party committee has made a decision, I don't care about being so lenient!" But I also want to remind you: don't be confused about big things, the code on your head has just been removed, and the mayor's position is not so firm, you must not only throw off your arms, but also be safe! ”

Fang Zhenggang knew in his heart, "Yes, Lao Zhao has such an attitude, my mayor doesn't know how long it will be!" ”

Yu Huabei thought to himself, this is true, Zhao Anbang is not an ordinary prejudice against Zhenggang, it seems that he has a deep prejudice, once there is a problem in Wenshan's work, Shi Yanan may be able to get out, and Fang Zhenggang will be in a catastrophe. This kind of thing has not happened before, it happened once in Jinchuan County in Yinshan seven years ago. There was a conflict in the team, and it was clear that Zhang Guichun, who was the secretary of the county party committee at the time, and his accomplices excluded the county magistrate Fang Zhenggang, but Zhao Anbang gave an important instruction, but he took down the innocent Fang Zhenggang. Although he had just spoken for Fang Zhenggang, it was not easy to insist. Pei Yihong engaged in political balance, and in order to maintain the authority of the governor, he had to sacrifice this young man, and now thinking about it still makes his heart ache.

Fang Zhenggang also remembered this, "Secretary Yu, you know, when I went down in 1997, I wanted to settle my home in Yinshan and take root in Jinchuan County to make contributions, what was the result?" Let Lao Zhao take the horse in ten months! As he spoke, he jumped out of the slotted horse, "Get on the horse!" Hey, Secretary Yu, how was you talking to Lao Zhao last night? ”

Yu Huabei ignored the horse that Fang Zheng had just jumped out, pulled the car across the Chu River and Han Realm, and said calmly: "It's okay to talk, I should remind Anbang when it's time to remind, I have to escort you at this time!" Anbang made it clear that if the matter of the group visit is really wrong, he apologizes to you! However, I can also hear that he still has a lot of concerns about you Wenshan! Zhenggang, you also tell me the truth, do you have any roots under your feet? ”

Fang Zhenggang said in a ridiculous tone, "Yes, Secretary Yu, my root is your old leader, I hope you will be firm this time, see that the situation is wrong, and first grab an important instruction in front of Lao Zhao to protect me, the unlucky mayor elected by the public!" Maybe you will be the secretary of the provincial party committee at that time, as long as you approve it, Lao Zhao can't do anything! ”

Yu Huabei couldn't cry or laugh, "Zhenggang, you'd better do less of this kind of big-headed dream, you know what I mean!" And said, "Don't take a bite of Lao Zhao!" Lao Zhao was you shouting? No big or small, no wonder people annoy you! ”

Fang Zhenggang's face was serious, "Hey, hey, Secretary Yu, the party calls comrades not official titles, this is a rule!" ”

Yu Huabei said: "Then why don't you call me old Yu?" Give me some attention! He also confessed, "There is no need to talk about the secretary of the provincial party committee or the secretary of the provincial party committee, even if Comrade Yihong is transferred, the secretary of the provincial party committee may not be me!" ”

Fang Zhenggang said: "Secretary Yu, then you will at least further become the governor, if you become the governor......"

Yu Huabei didn't want to talk about this kind of thing with the open-mouthed young subordinate in front of him, and interrupted Fang Zhenggang's words with a smile, "Hey, hey, Zhenggang, play chess, play chess, look at your chess, I'm afraid there are not many moves!" ”

Fang Zhenggang's mind was not on chess, "Okay, okay, I admit defeat!" He complained again, "Secretary Yu, it's not that I have emotions, what do you call this?" Why does Zhao Anbang just look at me unpleasantly? Thousands of peasants in Dokdo Township surrounded the township during the festival, and the movement was so big, Lao Zhao didn't criticize Zhang Guichun, but criticized me! Fortunately, Dudao Township has long been assigned to Yinshan City, if it is returned to Wenshan like before the zoning adjustment, Lao Zhao is afraid that he will have to clean me up even more! ”

Yu Huabei persuaded: "Don't think so, that's not necessarily!" The secretary of the Wenshan Municipal Party Committee is Shi Yanan, and if Anbang wants to settle accounts, he must first settle accounts with Comrade Shi Yanan! Oh, by the way, how did the solidarity and coordination with Yanan go? ”

Fang Zhenggang said: "Very good, at least so far, the team is united, and I can also put myself in the right position!" ”

Yu Huabei said: "We must put ourselves in the right position, we must learn the lessons of the past, and we can't fall down twice on the same ditch!" There is also a problem with Yinshan, both belong to the underdeveloped areas in the north, and I and the provincial party committee do not oppose your healthy competition, and the vicious competition is not good, and it may affect the overall situation of the entire northern region and even the whole province! ”

Fang Zhenggang smiled bitterly, "Secretary Yu, this is not subject to Wenshan's will!" Who is Zhang Guichun? The head snake who has been entrenched in Yinshan for more than 20 years has empty eyes, neither convincing Shi Yanan, nor convincing me, and working against our Wenshan everywhere! I'm really worried that they will blindly mess with steel this time and mess up the chess game in Wenshan! ”

Yu Huabei knew in his heart that Fang Zhenggang and Zhang Guichun were old rivals, as long as he had the opportunity, he would always give Zhang Guichun some eye medicine, so he said indifferently: "It's not so serious, right?" Zhenggang, don't think about it so much, don't expect me to help you press Yinshan, the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, you Wenshan did a good job and I congratulate the provincial party committee, they Yinshan is on it, I and the provincial party committee still want to congratulate! Zhang Guichun is not bad this time, he is politically sensitive, and he rushed to the scene in the wind and snow when he was in turmoil in Dokdo Township, and the incident was handled in a timely and decisive manner, and Anbang and Lao Pei were more satisfied! ”

Fang Zhenggang obviously didn't know about this situation yet, "Secretary Yu, so the peasants in Dodao Township have withdrawn?" ”

Yu Huabei nodded, "Withdrawd, I withdrew last night, it is said that I didn't freeze to death and frostbite, but I don't believe it!" People who freeze to death may not, frostbite is not impossible, it is estimated that they will report good news and not bad news! ”

Fang Zhenggang said: "Hey, why did Lao Zhao just listen to Yinshan's phone report?" Why don't you go down and look it up? ”

Yu Huabei said: "If you want to check, not only Yinshan, but also your Wenshan!" A few years ago, if it wasn't for his illness, his brother went down! Oh, Zhenggang, be careful, Anbang may have a surprise attack! ”

Fang Zhenggang grinned, "Let him attack, if he really finds out something, we will consider it unlucky!" ”

Yu Huabei was alert, "Hey, Zhenggang, you seem to be a little weak-hearted, the good situation that I saw a few years ago, as well as your report, is there any moisture?" I'm going around advertising for you right now! ”

Fang Zhenggang hurriedly said: "Secretary Yu, don't worry, absolutely not!" He smiled and said, "Shall we make a gentleman's agreement?" If we mess up, how should you deal with it, if Lao Zhao deliberately finds us to rectify it, your old leader also has to speak, don't sacrifice me again because of the overall situation like he did in Yinshan seven years ago! ”

Yu Huabei's heart was hot, "Then it's a word!" Just now, let me tell you clearly: that scene from seven years ago will never happen again! When he said this, Yu Huabei thought that maybe by then he would be the governor or secretary of the provincial party committee.

Whether as a provincial governor or secretary of the provincial party committee, he must show himself in economic work. The rise of Ningchuan not only achieved Zhao Anbang, but also contributed six provincial and ministerial-level cadres to Hanjiang Province and even China's political arena.

So, Yu Huabei said emotionally: "Zhenggang, you know, I have worked in Wenshan for 18 years, and I have been the mayor and secretary of the municipal party committee for 11 years, but I have never brought Wenshan up......"

Fang Zheng hurriedly interjected, "Secretary Yu, you don't have to blame yourself, what was the situation at that time?" What's going on now? At that time, the focus of the provincial party committee's economic work was in the south, so how could it take care of the northern region like Shangwenshan?! ”

Yu Huabei said: "That's what I said, but I can't forgive myself, I always feel that I owe a debt to the people of Wenshan!" We also thought about reorganizing heavy industries such as coal and steel, but we couldn't realize it. The foundation is thin, there is no money, heavy industry is a capital-intensive industry, there is no way to do it without money, plus experts and scholars say that steel is a sunset industry, and they will give up after discussing it! Zhenggang, you and the comrades of Wenshan have fulfilled a dream of mine! After taking a sip of tea, he said: "In addition, we must also pay attention to balanced development, and further do a good job in the restructuring of state-owned enterprises. ”

Fang Zhenggang immediately reported, "Secretary Yu, I haven't had time to report this matter to you: forget about the fire sale, including the zero transfer of Sunward Group to Weiye International, and the company that has not been started has already made me stop!" I have studied several times with Yanan and the comrades in the team, and we are ready to engage in ESOP, which is the pilot of employee stock ownership in enterprises. Poland's experience proves that this form of transition can minimize the shock of restructuring and reflect the principle of fairness! ”

Yu Huabei agreed: "Okay, it can not only reduce shocks, but also reflect the principle of fairness, just try boldly, even if it doesn't succeed!" That's how the comrades of Anbang and Ningchuan came over, they want to learn and summarize! ”

Fang Zhenggang complained, "Secretary Yu, Zhao Anbang is not the mayor of Ningchuan back then, he is the governor of the province, only the governor is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps. What did he, Qian Huiren, and Bai Tianming do at that time? Not only is it illegal, but it's even illegal! ”

Yu Huabei didn't want to fuel Fang Zhenggang's dissatisfaction, "Hey, Zhenggang, why are you here again?" Anbang's general direction is right, Ningchuan is up, I'm really not convinced, you also create an economic miracle in Wenshan! ”

Fang Zhenggang was excited, "Secretary Yu, we are now creating a miracle, two years later, Wenshan may become China's most powerful and dynamic steel city, with a GDP of more than 100 billion yuan and a fiscal revenue of more than 10 billion!" ”

Yu Huabei seemed to have seen the realization of this economic miracle, and nodded again and again and said: "Good, good, then good!" This opportunity must not be lost lightly! You let Comrade Yanan also find an opportunity to report to Lao Pei more! ”

Fang Zhenggang was very confident, "Secretary Yu, the important thing is not to report, but to come up with real achievements!" ”

Yu Huabei originally wanted to say, naïve! When the words came to his mouth, he held back, "Okay, Zhenggang, I'll wait to see your achievements!" Ningchuan has gone up, the old secretary Comrade Liu Huanzhang has bowed to Anbang and them at the enlarged meeting of the provincial party committee, and in the future, Wenshan will be involved, and I will also bow to you and Comrade Yanan on behalf of the provincial party committee! ”

At noon on this day, because of Fang Zhenggang and Wenshan, Yu was in a good mood in North China and drank a few glasses of liquor by exception.
