The provincial party committee's readjustment of the Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee truly embodied the spirit of Qian Xianghui, secretary of the provincial party committee, who instructed him to "make a decision when he is decided." It took only half a month from the examination and appraisal of the organization department to the final decision made by the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee, which is rare in the history of the province. Chen Zhongyang, former deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, retired from the second line three months and eight days ahead of schedule. Sun Jinyuan, former director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, took over the work in charge of Chen Zhongyang and served as deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Executive Vice Mayor Cao Wuping concurrently serves as Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. The former Propaganda Minister of the Municipal Party Committee was reappointed as the Minister of Organization. Liu Jinping, secretary of the Damo County Party Committee, entered the Standing Committee and served as the propaganda minister. Cheng Weiqi, secretary of the Minjiao County Party Committee, the largest county in Pingchuan Prefecture, also joined the Standing Committee.

Next, the Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee held a farewell party for Chen Zhongyang, and all the new and old Standing Committee members were absent.

Before the farewell party began, Xiao Daoqing came to Wu Mingxiong with a teacup and sat down, his expression was still natural, and he took the initiative to talk to Wu Mingxiong and said: "Secretary Wu, there are some things, I'm afraid there are some misunderstandings, for example, Yu Dajing's complaint has nothing to do with me at all, it was provoked by the corrupt element Wang Ping, I didn't know much about the situation at the time, and I expressed my rash attitude. This time, the leading comrades of the provincial party committee criticized me, and I was convinced. However, Secretary Wu, this is indeed a misunderstanding, no matter how I say it, I am still one of the responsible persons of the Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee, why don't I add fuel to the fire in this kind of matter! ”

Wu Mingxiong waved his hand and said flatly: "Let the misunderstanding pass, Lao Chen has already come down, Wang Ping, a corrupt element, has also gone to prison, Yu Dajing has withdrawn the lawsuit again, let's not talk about this matter, okay?" As for you, don't be misunderstood, my comrades and I have put you in charge of family planning and party-mass work, which is also a normal division of labor among the Standing Committee. The burden of family planning is not light, and the most difficult thing in the world is to have a capable comrade like you to grasp it. Secretary Xiao, did you say? ”

Xiao Daoqing blushed and said: "Yes, yes, family planning is our basic national policy, and I will definitely do my best to do a good job in this work, please rest assured that you and the comrades of the Standing Committee will ......

Xiao Daoqing seemed to want to say something to Wu Mingxiong, at this time, Chen Zhongyang entered the door, Wu Mingxiong shook off Xiao Daoqing, and went up to shake hands with Chen Zhongyang.

Holding Chen Zhongyang's hand, Wu Mingxiong said, "Old Chen, you are late today." ”

Chen Zhongyang had already seen Xiao Daoqing, so he said something in his words: "Someone came early, of course I have to come later!" I can look at this kind of person's face for even a minute! ”

Xiao Daoqing originally wanted to shake hands with Chen Zhongyang, but even got up in his seat, but when he heard this, he sat down boredly, and then thought that Chen Zhongyang was a cannon barrel, and he was afraid of being scolded and humiliated on this occasion, so he quietly withdrew.

After Xiao Daoqing left, the farewell party was filled with an extremely warm atmosphere.

Mayor Shu Huaru took a bottle of Moutai liquor that was said to have been treasured for fifteen years, poured it into a teacup, and invited Chen Zhongyang and everyone to drink it.

Wu Mingxiong drank wine, pointed at Shu Huaru and said with a smile: "Everyone to prove it, today the mayor took the lead in violating discipline." You are not allowed to drink alcohol at noon, he proposed it, and he violated it himself, is it to be punished? ”

Everyone said that they would be punished, and then the mayor would be punished for donating a bottle of Moutai to drink at night.

At the meeting, Chen Zhongyang burst into tears and said, "You guys are really, what are you sending?" I didn't really leave, and the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee didn't do it, but next year I will go up to the desert river to be my commander-in-chief, and I agreed with Lao Wu and the provincial party committee. Don't you young people want me anymore?! ”

Wu Mingxiong was stunned, hugged Chen Zhongyang with some gaffes, and said emotionally: "Old Chen, what are these words!" Without you, the old dragon king, who is going to ask for the water of Daze Lake in Pingchuan?! We still have to work on this project for two years! ”

Chen Zhongyang patted Wu Mingxiong on the shoulder at this time, and sighed without scruples: "The old ones are down, and some people who don't do things go to the side to take a break, and another group of energetic young people have come up, how good, the provincial party committee has courage and foresight!" That's what the chairman said back then, bad things have become good things. Although I, Chen Zhongyang, have made mistakes, it is a little credit. ”

Then, Chen Zhongyang said to Liu Jinping and Cheng Weiqi, the two new members of the Standing Committee and Cao Wuping, who was also the deputy secretary: "In front of you, I will sell the second old!" You must have remembered that the business in the hands of our old comrades must always be handed over to you young people; You must be wholehearted, and you must not be like some people, who only play your own little calculations; We must focus on our Pingchuan career! ”

The three young comrades all said: "Old secretary, we have remembered, you can explain a few more words if you want to explain." ”

Chen Zhongyang shook his hand with a tearful smile and said, "Forget it, forget it, don't say it, don't say it." If you talk too much, you will be annoyed in your hearts, thinking, where did this old thing come from so much nonsense! Some people have talked about me like that behind my back. ”

Liu Jinping said: "Old secretary, don't say that, such people are still a very small minority among young cadres after all, and most young comrades are not like this. ”

Chen Zhongyang said: "I believe that young cadres are like a few people, and they are not in the situation we have today. ”

…………

That night, Chen Zhongyang went to Wu Mingxiong's house to find Wu Mingxiong. At that time, Wu Mingxiong's wife went to Beijing, and in the empty living room, Wu Mingxiong was the only one reading documents under the floor lamp.

As soon as he saw Chen Zhongyang enter the door, Wu Mingxiong put down the document and said, "You guy, you haven't been breaking up with me for a while, don't you miss me again?" ”

Chen Zhongyang smiled: "Don't be sentimental, I don't want you." ”

Wu Mingxiong asked, "Then why did you come to me?" ”

Chen Zhongyang said mysteriously: "Guess what. ”

Wu Mingxiong shook his head: "I can't guess." ”

Chen Zhongyang said: "I don't expect you to guess that I came to pick up my granddaughter." ”

Wu Mingxiong immediately thought of Shang Dequan's daughter Shang Hao, but he deliberately pretended to be confused: "Lao Chen, you are really messing around, why is your granddaughter here with me?" ”

Chen Zhongyang ignored Wu Mingxiong, went straight to Shang Hao's small room, and hugged Shang Hao, who had just washed his face and was about to sleep, and was so anxious that Wu Mingxiong's daughter Wu Jie called "Uncle Chen" and followed.

Shang Hao didn't do anything, twisted his body in Chen Zhongyang's arms and said coquettishly: "Grandpa Chen, I'm not leaving, I want Aunt Xiao Wu and Transformers." ”

Chen Zhongyang said: "It's okay, Aunt Xiao Wu and your Grandpa Wu have to work, and they can't accompany you, so Grandpa Chen will play with you." Grandpa Chen will take you to the zoo to see the monkeys, is it okay to see the giant pandas? ”

Shang Hao was happy: "Grandpa Chen, then we will go tomorrow and not go to kindergarten." ”

Chen Zhongyang said: "Okay, I'll go tomorrow, I won't go to kindergarten." ”

Wu Mingxiong said: "Lao Chen, we have said it on the Hetian water conservancy site, this child belongs to our two families, isn't it?" ”

Chen Zhongyang rolled his eyelids and said: "That is an unequal treaty imposed on me by your old Wu by taking advantage of the power in his hands and my temporary difficulties, and it is to be abolished." ”

Wu Mingxiong smiled: "Okay, good, Lao Chen, do you think that if you are not the deputy secretary, I will not be able to rule you?" Let me ask you, after the autumn, will you still do the second phase of the Desert River project? If you want to do it, you have to recognize that this treaty is equal and cannot be abrogated. ”

Chen Zhongyang also smiled: "When I go up the desert river, I'll send Shang Hao to you!" ”

Wu Jie shouted: "Uncle Chen, are you going to take Shang Hao as a hostage, isn't this too cruel?" ”

Shang Hao said, "I want to go with Grandpa Chen to see the giant pandas." ”

Wu Jie pressed her hand on Shang Hao's nose, made a grimace and said, "I'll kill you little traitor!" ”

Chen Zhongyang said: "It's better that we don't call it a mutiny, but an uprising in the line of fire. ”

Wu Mingxiong persuaded Wu Jie with a smile: "Okay, Xiaojie, Comrade Shanghao has already rebelled in the line of fire, let's let the family go, and take the Transformers with us." Then he said to Chen Zhongyang, "But, old Chen, a treaty is still a treaty, and it will not change for fifty years!" ”

Chen Zhongyang happily hugged Shang Hao and left, and Wu Mingxiong and Wu Jie kept sending the two of them downstairs.

Downstairs, when they were about to break up, Chen Zhongyang said again: "Old Wu, I suddenly remembered something: Can the second phase of the water conservancy project consider combining the early coal mining subsidence area of Sankongqiao in the urban area? Clear the silt, put a river of living water in, and then engage in some scenic spots, isn't it a Hangzhou West Lake? ”

Wu Mingxiong clapped his hand and said, "It's really the same as what heroes see!" Mayor Shu and I also thought of this, not only to build a lake, but also to build several artificial islands, a swimming pool, and a large-scale entertainment park that is first-class in the country. Because of this, our ring road has enclosed this subsidence area of six or seven square kilometers. Of course, whether all this can be realized, and whether this collapsed area full of stinky water can become a new West Lake, the key depends on whether you, the old dragon king, can bring a pool of living water. ”

Chen Zhongyang said: "Lao Wu, you put a hundred hearts here, if there is a dragon, there will be water." When you do urban planning now, you should take this lake into account as soon as possible, this is a short-term goal, not a long-term goal, and it should be able to be completed during your tenure. Isn't it?! ”

Wu Mingxiong patted Chen Zhongyang on the shoulder and said, "We want to go together again." Is this good, let's go up and talk, and you can help me come up with ideas. I had a bold idea that the city would do it without paying for it in principle, and do it well. ”

Chen Zhongyang was interested: "Let's go, let's go, let's go up and talk, if you can do such a big thing without paying money, it's a bit interesting!" ”

So, the two went upstairs again and sat down on the sofa.

At this time, Shang Hao was already asleep. Wu Jie took Shang Hao from Chen Zhongyang and put him on the bed in the small room, before coming over to Wu Mingxiong and Chen Zhongyang and said, "You guys be quiet, don't wake Shang Hao up." ”

Both nodded in agreement, but their voices were still loud.

Wu Mingxiong spread out a drawing, pointed and said: "Lao Chen, my idea is this, the city is only responsible for the overall planning of the new West Lake and the cleaning of the lakebed, and the scenic spots are all tendered to the subordinates. For example, the swimming pool of 10,000 people here, can you make any money? For example, if you build a children's paradise here, can you make any money? If you build an aquarium on an artificial island, I think there will be a lot of people who will come to see it! ”

Chen Zhongyang suggested: "In my opinion, not only the bidding of our municipal units, but also the scope can be expanded, and the provincial and ministerial enterprises and units can also be tendered!" Even the army and air force stationed in our city can be tendered, as long as they are willing to invest, we will let go. ”

Wu Mingxiong said: "Yes, let people make money, and come up with several policies and measures to ensure that people make money, and people's money will become our money." The people of Pingchuan have many good places to rest and play, and our new West Lake has been improved day by day from scratch......"

The more they talked, the more they talked, and by the time Chen Zhongyang said goodbye and left the Wu family, it was already more than twelve o'clock in the evening.

When Wu Mingxiong and Wu Jie sent Chen Zhongyang downstairs again, Chen Zhongyang shouted: "Wow, Secretary Wu, I've been fooled by you again, my granddaughter still hasn't picked it up!" ”

Wu Mingxiong was silent.

It was Wu Jie who spoke: "Uncle Chen, I see, you and my father are all forgotten!" You're all big shots, which one is the material with children? When it comes to work, it's not over, but I'm afraid that Xiao Shanghao will be abducted and resold by traffickers three times, and you don't know it. ”

Chen Zhongyang smiled ashamedly, pointed at Wu Jie's head and said, "This girl, she is still obedient when she gets cheap." ”

Wu Mingxiong stiffened his face and said to his daughter: "You are talking nonsense, who did you abduct and sell when you were a child?" Yes? I see that you are attacking and framing our family's main leading comrades. ”

Wu Jie said unceremoniously: "That's because of my mother." My mother said a long time ago, I really hope that you, the main leading comrade, and my brother and sister and I are only afraid that we are not as good as orphans. ”

Wu Mingxiong laughed, made a very helpless look and said to Chen Zhongyang: "Old Chen, it seems that we are not qualified Lao Tzu." ”
