The Spring Festival passed quickly, spring passed in a blink of an eye, summer was about to pass, and the time was in August. People thought that the Haidong team would be so stable and there would be no big changes, but suddenly on this day, Song Hanlin was called to Beijing.

Immediately after, the tide rose in Haidong, which seemed to be surging, and it was abnormal in an instant.

First of all, Ma Chaoran, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, followed him to Beijing, and after Pu Tiancheng became the executive vice governor, Ma Chaoran seemed to have completely changed. But this year, he completely changed his strategy, especially from the Spring Festival to the present, Ma Chaoran suddenly became gentle and elegant, and asked Song Hanlin for everything, but whenever Song Hanlin and Lu Bo disagreed, he did not hesitate to stand on Song Hanlin's side. At several Standing Committee meetings, Lu Bo intended to avoid Song Hanlin's army, but Ma Chaoran took the initiative to accept it. You also said that Ma Chaoran's change in this way really blocked a lot of embarrassment for Song Hanlin. Pu Tiancheng didn't understand at first, he felt that there was no reason, but then he finally realized that Ma Chaoran was preparing for himself.

Under normal circumstances, as soon as Song Hanlin leaves, Lu Bo will move over, and the seat vacated by Lu Bo should be considered first. Whether Ma Chaoran's dream can come true depends on many aspects, but Song Hanlin's opinion is extremely important. The high-level outgoing organization must solicit the opinions of the next candidate, Ma Chaoran is familiar with this, he is changing his way to win Song Hanlin's vote.

He is also weighing the pros and cons, and the situation is thoroughly analyzed! If Lu Bo didn't publicly tear up his face with Song Hanlin, and could "send" Song Hanlin away with his temperament, Ma Chaoran would never have a chance. Now that the two sides have torn their faces, it is difficult to ensure that Song Hanlin will not cause a little trouble for Lu Bo when he leaves, this is where Ma Chaoran's hope lies.

However, I never expected that Song Hanlin did not give Ma Chaoran a chance at all, and when the high-level people solicited opinions, Song Hanlin resolutely voted against Ma Chaoran, and he came to such a conclusion that a senior cadre of the party only knows speculation all day long, is not loyal to the revolutionary cause, and is not upright to comrades.

This time, the top management was decisive and fast, and the adjustment was surprisingly fast. In fact, the news of the major changes in the provincial and ministerial leadership has long been reported, which is consistent with the new strategic deployment of the central government. On the basis of repeated deliberations and extensive investigations and investigations, the central authorities have decided to adopt a major change of guard in the provincial and ministerial-level leading bodies and strive to push a number of young and professional cadres to the top. On the second day after Song Hanlin arrived in Beijing, the leaders of the Central Organization Department talked to him, and Comrade Yue Nan also talked to him. The Central Committee originally planned to let Song Hanlin go to work in the National People's Congress, but just as the important instructions of the Party Central Committee at the mobilization meeting for the whole party's in-depth study and practice of the scientific outlook on development were issued, the whole party's in-depth study and practice of the scientific outlook on development was officially launched, which was a major and urgent political task for the whole party. At the suggestion of Comrade Yue Nan, Song Hanlin temporarily assisted Comrade Yue Nan in carrying out his work.

Song Hanlin made a pertinent appraisal of Lu Bo and hoped that the central authorities would allow Comrade Lu Bo to preside over the work in Haidong so as to ensure the continuity of the work in Haidong. Soon, the Central Committee made a decision, and Comrade Lu Bo took over as secretary of the Haidong Provincial CPC Committee.

Lu Bo completed a gorgeous turn as he wished, but the appointment of the governor dragged on for nearly a month. During this period, Dai Xiaoyi called Pu Tiancheng and asked Pu Tiancheng to guess in a joking tone, who will the central government send? Pu Tiancheng said with a serious face: "Xiaoyi, what are you talking nonsense, this kind of thing is not a joke." As soon as he heard Pu Tiancheng change the usual name of Director Dai to Xiaoyi, Dai Xiaoyi couldn't stop laughing: "Just guess, anyway, no one can hear it on the phone." Pu Tiancheng still doesn't dare to guess, he has been sitting in the seat for a long time, and the political nerve has always been tense, and it is difficult to break the ring once. Dai Xiaoyi waited for a long time, but didn't see Pu Tiancheng responding, and said in frustration: "You, it's really not interesting." ”

Pu Tiancheng corrected: "This is not a matter of being interesting or not, this is a principle." ”

"Okay, okay, principle, the whole party, you are the most principled."

"Xiaoyi!" Pu Tiancheng scolded violently, and subconsciously hung up the phone. Half a day later, the phone rang again, Pu Tiancheng thought about it, and still answered, this time Dai Xiaoyi didn't joke, and said in a very solemn tone: "I will review it with the governor, and I will never make this kind of mistake again in the future." ”

"You......" Pu Tiancheng couldn't laugh or cry.

Dai Xiaoyi said again: "My senior brother is coming to your province, and he respects you a lot. After speaking, he quickly hung up the phone, for fear that Pu Tiancheng would ask what was in the past.

Big brother? Pu Tiancheng's heart was shocked, could it be him?!

After a long time, Pu Tiancheng came to the window and looked out of the window with a lost look. Regarding the position of governor, there have been many rumors recently, some people say that Ma Chaoran is not willing and is still moving around, and some people say that Hua Xiangming is coming back and serving as the governor. None of the messages lifted his spirits. Pu Tiancheng did not have any intentions for the post of governor, it was impossible, he would not be so vain. Although after Lu Bo arrived at the provincial party committee, the work of the provincial ** side was temporarily presided over by him, but it was only the presiding, and Pu Tiancheng never dared to be greedy, let alone delusional. He knew that the era that belonged to him would be gone forever with Song Hanlin's transfer, and the next Haidong would no longer be able to tolerate him and pamper him with such a big heart. Yes, over the years, Haidong has been pampering him while tolerating him, making him magnify himself dozens of times, and others have magnified him to the point where he can no longer be magnified. Since the day Lu Bo took office, he warned himself that from today onwards, you are a person, you must be cautious, and you must walk on thin ice for a while.

In August, Haidong is still blazing, and the world looks vast. Pu Tiancheng's heart was not clear, nor was it cloudy, it felt like a chimney, fluffy, and stuffed with things. What exactly is stuffed, I can't figure it out for a while. The tall camphor trees in the courtyard are glowing green, and the flowers of various colors in the flower beds are in full bloom. There are hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and there are cars coming and going. A few days ago, he chatted with several cadres of the Political Research Office under the camphor tree, and he was waiting for the car, and there seemed to be no Zhang Huahua that day. Strange, how can you suddenly think of Zhang Huahua?

Recently, he thinks of some people for no reason, which is very strange, and thinking about it will confuse him and lose his judgment. I also think of some things, terrible things. He knew that his expectations for the provincial governor candidate were actually related to these things, as well as to some people in it. Song Hanlin left Haidong safely, the farewell ceremony was very warm, the specifications were very high, Pu Tiancheng was always worried about what would happen that day, but fortunately, it was safe and sound, and there was no embarrassing scene. Song Hanlin was also very happy when he left, and didn't say anything to him, only shook his hand vigorously, patted him on the shoulder before getting on the plane, and gave him two words: steady.

Will he be able to hold on? These two words made him intimidated, and then he was afraid. It's not an easy task to stabilize, a huge house has taken away the beams, so that his pillar is stable, it is also a very difficult thing to think about, the key is that the house will encounter any storms, will it be rock-solid, will it be ......

What worries him even more is that in addition to subordinating Song Hanlin to the central government's adjustment of Song Hanlin, are there any other factors? Although Song Hanlin was elated and talked and laughed at the farewell ceremony, in his heart, was he as afraid as he was? Pu Tiancheng is unpredictable, and the more this time, the more elusive many things become. What made him a little relieved was that Song Hanlin did not immediately take up his actual position, nor did he retire quietly, but took up a position in a study leading group of the central government. It should be said that the high-level is still positive for him, at least he is still active in the forefront.

To solve the mystery of Haidong, you can't get the key from Lu Bo, Pu Tiancheng still has this political maturity, or rather, Lu Bo to the provincial party committee, can't send much signal, the key depends on who the high-level will let take over as governor, who will be added to Haidong as fresh blood, this is the key, all the mystery should be here!

Fang Nanchuan! Pu Tiancheng finally spit out the name, and then, the brow he had been tightening slowly relaxed.

There seemed to be a gust of wind in the courtyard, swirling a few fallen leaves that had fallen early, and Pu Tiancheng even heard a loud noise. He grabbed the phone and wanted to call his wife Qiao Ruoxuan, the news should be revealed to her. After thinking about it, he put it down again and pressed the internal phone. After a while, the secretary Wen Jie came in, and Pu Tiancheng said: "Get ready, I will meet with the Singapore investment delegation in the afternoon." ”

Fang Nanchuan took office half a month later, which should be said to be very fast, it can be seen that when Dai Xiaoyi revealed it to Pu Tiancheng, this matter was basically decided.

On the day Fang Nanchuan took office, the provincial leaders went to the airport to greet him, and Yu Chuanqing reported the confirmed list and specific matters to Pu Tiancheng before. The welcoming ceremony was presided over by Pu Tiancheng, and Lu Bo had a welcome speech at the airport. However, when he arrived at the airport, he was suddenly informed that the welcoming ceremony had been canceled, and Fang Nanchuan refused to allow him to do it, and a certain leader of the Central Organization Department who came to read out the appointment decision did not advocate such a form. Everyone just enthusiastically sent flowers to Fang Nanchuan and his party, Pu Tiancheng didn't expect that Yue Nan was also in the queue, he actually sent Fang Nanchuan to take office in person, and he had an idea and gave Yue Nan the flowers in his hand. Yue Nan looked at him with a smile on his face and warmth. Pu Tiancheng's face was a little red, before the high-level made a decision, he had been to Beijing, and met Yue Nan, Yue Nan thought that he was also running to the event, and criticized him fiercely, Pu Tiancheng did not explain, and after Yue Nan criticized, he said that the trip was for the Haizhou Metro project, because he was a little free, so he rushed to the door. Yue Nan smiled, and didn't say anything to the fierce criticism just now, but said: "This idea should have been there a long time ago, other cities are all vying for it, only you are moving slowly." Slow means passive, understand? Pu Tiancheng nodded, yes, slow means passive, everything is like this. When he said goodbye, Yue Nan gave him a calligraphy and painting, which was Yue Nan's handwriting, with four words on it: Heaven rewards diligence. When he came back, he hung it in the middle of his office. Seeing it at this time, Yue Nan's eyes had more meanings, hindering the large number of people, Yue Nan didn't speak, only encouraged him with his eyes, and Pu Tiancheng also expressed his respect with his eyes. After Lu Bo and the others finished congratulating Fang Nanchuan, Pu Tiancheng walked over. is so young, looking at Fang Nanchuan's angular young and handsome face, Pu Tiancheng couldn't help but sigh. If I remember correctly, Fang Nanchuan is not yet fifty, four years younger than him, and it is really admirable that he will be promoted to the governor of any province at this age. If it weren't for the fact that a 45-year-old post-60s generation had served as the governor of a certain province before, Fang Nanchuan would have become a news figure of the year just by his age. Four eyes and one pair, Fang Nanchuan's eyes also slipped a lot of things, Fang Nanchuan is also not mistaken, the last time he met Pu Tiancheng was before Pu Tiancheng became the executive vice governor, those days were very critical for Pu Tiancheng, and the other party Nanchuan was also very critical. Pu Tiancheng went to his house and talked with his father Fang Zhen for two hours. In Fang Nanchuan's memory, his father rarely talked to people for such a long time, especially when he was old, he almost lived an isolated life, which shows the status of Pu Tiancheng in his father's heart. Fang Nanchuan had been very concerned about Pu Tiancheng before, and they always couldn't escape this circle.

The two looked at each other for more than three minutes, Fang Nanchuan woke up first, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and shook it vigorously with Pu Tiancheng. Pu Tiancheng still expressed his blessings with his eyes, Fang Nanchuan couldn't help but open his mouth, and said softly: "We meet again." Pu Tiancheng hurriedly said: "Welcome to the governor." Fang Nanchuan smiled, he didn't seem to be used to Pu Tiancheng being called like this, and he was not used to Pu Tiancheng's attitude at this time.

"Are you alright?" Fang Nanchuan said again.

"Okay, all right, thank you, Governor." Pu Tiancheng said.

"I'm sorry if you're kind to me. Let's go, Sensei let them wait. Fang Nanchuan said, making a polite gesture and asking Pu Tiancheng to go first. If it was before, even yesterday, Pu Tiancheng would have taken the first step. But not today, from today onwards, the young Fang Nanchuan is the leader, his superior, Pu Tiancheng skillfully turned sideways and gave up half of his position for Fang Nanchuan. Fang Nanchuan was still not used to it, and he felt that he couldn't take that step. At this time, Yue Nannan, who was walking in front, spoke: "Let's go, what are you two muttering?" Lu Bo also looked back and looked at Fang Nanchuan with a smile, and Fang Nanchuan took a ruthless step. Pu Tiancheng naturally followed the steps, and his movements were so old and calm that he didn't see anything awkward at all. All this was observed by Deputy Secretary-General Cao Xiaoan, who was following behind, and Cao Xiaoan guessed at the time that these two people were afraid that they had a story before.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the province held a meeting, which was held in the auditorium of the provincial party committee, and the party, government, and military leaders of all cities came, and the leaders of various departments in the province, the leaders of the four major groups, and the leaders of the military region also attended the meeting. The meeting was personally presided over by Comrade Lu Bo, the leaders of the Central Organization Department read out the Central Committee's decision on Comrade Fang Nanchuan's appointment, and Yue Nan delivered an enthusiastic speech. In his speech, Yue Nan fully affirmed the work of the previous provincial party committee and provincial leading group, and said that the Haidong team is a united, pragmatic, and pioneering team. The Central Committee's decision to send Comrade Fang Nanchuan to work in Haidong this time is to let Haidong carry on the past and meet the future. When Yue Nan spoke, Pu Tiancheng moved his gaze several times, as if he was deliberately observing Fang Nanchuan, but Fang Nanchuan didn't look at him, he seemed calm, composed, and solemn.

After a round of warm applause, it was Fang Nanchuan's turn to speak. Fang Nanchuan got up, first bowed to both sides of the rostrum, and then bowed to the stage, then moved the microphone slightly, and spoke loudly.

Fang Nanchuan's voice was full of passion, full of sound quality, sonorous and powerful, he first thanked the central high-level for their full trust in him, thanked Yue Nan and other old leaders for their long-term care and help, and then changed the topic and began to make a commitment to perform his duties.

When Fang Nanchuan spoke, Pu Tiancheng held his breath and listened word by word. He heard some information in Yue Nan's speech just now, but he was still not sure, Yue Nan spoke more generally, with many principled words and very few targeted words, which was determined by Yue Nan's special status. Next, he had to listen to more things from Fang Nanchuan's words and pay attention to capturing every keyword. Fang Nanchuan first delivered a keynote speech on "faithfully performing his duties, being loyal to the people, doing his best, and making practical contributions", and then talked about the continuity of work. What is a signal, and here it is! Pu Tiancheng set his eyes on Yue Nan, and sure enough, he saw Yue Nan smiling slightly, and he looked very understanding. At this moment, his heart was finally relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief. In the next meeting, Pu Tiancheng was extraordinarily emotional.

Yue Nan They only stayed in Haizhou for one night, and they took the plane back the next day, because of the tight time, Yue Nan did not make an appointment with Pu Tiancheng alone, and it was not convenient to make an appointment. However, on the way to the airport, Yue Nan unexpectedly let Pu Tiancheng get into his car, and the moment he got into the car, Pu Tiancheng saw a strange look flashing on Lu Bo's face, and seemed a little uncomfortable, Pu Tiancheng did not hesitate, and got into Yue Nan's car very humbly. The car was running towards the highway, Yue Nan was not in a hurry to speak, and Pu Tiancheng was not easy to speak, so both of them were silent first. At this time, time is gold, and every second that flows is deplorable. After being silent for five minutes, Yue Nan was no longer silent, and coughed lightly: "How is it, do you feel a lot of pressure?" Pu Tiancheng nodded respectfully and said, "The pressure is not small, but I will turn it into motivation." ”

"Okay." Yue Nan laughed heartily, Pu Tiancheng and Yue Nan have not been in contact for a long time, from the first time Dai Xiaoyi took him to meet Yue Nan, it has only been three times now, and he has only talked twice, but Yue Nan has left a particularly deep impression on him, this old chief never likes to listen to others say soft words, especially if he has no ambition. This is also related to Yue Nan's courage, Yue Nan is a person who dares to speak, dare to act, dare to be angry, and dare to be more truthful, and Yue Nan's personality is very obvious among the high-level leaders of the central government, especially among the old leaders. The high-level even called him Nanshan Tiger.

"It's good to be stressed, to prove that you're putting your mind to work." Yue Nan praised Pu Tiancheng, Pu Tiancheng was extremely uncomfortable, he was afraid of listening to praise, there are two times when the chief praises you, one is when you really do a good job, you can't help but praise. Second, when you are discouraged, praise is also used to dispel you. Pu Tiancheng didn't believe that Yue Nan would be disappointed in him, but ......

"What do you think of Nanchuan?" Yue Nan suddenly changed his head and asked a sharp question.

Pu Tiancheng didn't answer immediately, if he answered too quickly, it would be easy for Yue Nan to be coping with or flattering, thinking for a while, and then carefully said: "Now the work in Haidong is entering a critical period, everything has just taken shape, the ice has not yet been broken, and the governor of Nanchuan is coming at this time, and the burden is not light." ”

"Of course, the central government just wants to put a burden on him, including you, you can't be timid, let alone look around, you have to be the same as always, understand?"

Pu Tiancheng was secretly excited, if he had to wait, Governor Yue Nannan finally said it, and said with excitement at the moment: "I must keep in mind the chief's teachings, never disappoint the chief's expectations, and cheer up without hesitation." ”

Yue Nan seemed to have a flat reaction to him, and continued: "Of course, Nanchuan has just arrived, everything is not familiar, you have to communicate more, after all, you are familiar with Haidong." ”

There is warmth in these words, but also a kind of expectation, and even ...... Pu Tiancheng gathered the expression on his face and said solemnly: "I will, please rest assured." ”

When the car was about to arrive at the airport, Yue Nan said again: "By the way, Tiancheng, I am about to start a discussion on learning, I remember that you wrote an article earlier, I have submitted that article to the high-level, if possible, I want to recommend it on a larger scale." The forward-looking nature of the article is still there, and you can't be satisfied with it yourself, so you must strengthen your theoretical cultivation, write a few more articles, and submit them directly to me after you finish writing. ”

Pu Tiancheng was so moved that he didn't know what to say, the original old chief cared about him and loved him, there was a deep historical reason, Yue Nan loved him so much, he was flattered!
