The specific time of the on-site observation meeting has not yet been decided, and Tongjiang is already in full swing to prepare. Mayor Zhao Naizin put forward five requirements for the observation meeting: first, choose a good point and have something to look at; the second is to prepare the materials and have a listening head; The third is to let the following enterprises really move, at least the enterprises in the high-tech zone should all work at full capacity and work overtime to produce; Fourth, don't protect your shortcomings, you might as well take out one or two companies that are not doing well, and let the superior leaders consult to check the pulse; Fifth, we must pay attention to safety and not make extraneous branches.

After the work was arranged, the parties went their separate ways. The NDRC is responsible for coordination and co-ordination as usual. Meng Dongran worked within the National Development and Reform Commission: he was responsible for the overall work, focusing on the work of several observation companies; Jiang Shangyuan is responsible for the coordination of the high-tech zone, and must ensure that the enterprises in the high-tech zone are producing at full capacity according to the mayor's requirements. The next day, Meng Dongran was discussing the reception plan with Liu Zejiang in the office, and the reception work was taken by the municipal ** office. Jiang Shangyuan came in, looking mysterious, Meng Dongran asked if something was wrong? Jiang Shangyuan grinned at Liu Zejiang: "You guys have something, then I won't bother." He said so, but people didn't leave, and Meng Dongran understood that Jiang Shangyuan wanted Liu Zejiang to make way for him.

"Let's say, it just so happens that the Secretary-General is also here, and everyone will solve the problem together."

"It's not a big problem, it's just ......" Jiang Shangyuan slurred, his eyes dodged and dodged, giving people the feeling that he was not here to report work, but like a spy spying on intelligence. Seeing this, Liu Zejiang was about to leave, but Meng Dongran hurriedly stopped him with his eyes.

"Is it inconvenient for the Secretary-General to speak?" Meng Dongran commanded Jiang Shangyuan's first army. Jiang Shangyuan immediately blushed: "No, no, I'm afraid of disturbing you." As he spoke, his butt rested on the sofa in front of the window: "That's the case, other companies in the high-tech zone are cooperating, and it is a bit difficult for Sinovac here." ”

"What's the difficulty?"

"It's not that I didn't cooperate with Jialiang last time, Boss Lu is full of complaints, saying that the observation meeting is not for everyone to put gold on the leader's face, he would rather give the workers a holiday than help the ** show."

Meng Dongran had already thought of this, what kind of person is Lu Zhou, it's strange if he doesn't make trouble. However, in front of Jiang Shangyuan, he couldn't let go: "It's just this matter, with your Director Jiang coming forward, I'm afraid that he Boss Lu won't be there." ”

"It's strange that he praised it, I just came back from Kexing, and tomorrow Kexing will have a holiday, saying that the enterprise has autonomy."

Meng Dongran looked at Jiang Shangyuan silently for a while, Jiang Shangyuan didn't come to report on work, he came to give him a boost, maybe Kexing's move was a combination of them.

"Other companies have autonomy, and we don't have the right to interfere, right?" Meng Dongran asked impatiently.

"That's what I said, but the mayor has repeatedly asked for all the work to start, isn't he clearly arguing with the mayor." Jiang Shangyuan pulled out a bitter look, as if he had been greatly wronged by Sinovac.

"It's not going to be easy, why don't you take the time to report to the mayor and see if the mayor has a way to get them to work?" Meng Dongran pushed the boat along the water, and his tone was very gentle. As soon as Jiang Shangyuan heard this, he knew that Meng Dongran was wedge him with a wedge, and said stupidly: "How to report this matter to the mayor, I am about to die." ”

"What's the hurry, isn't it just a Sinovac? Let him stop, don't do your work when you go back, hand over the problem to the management committee, the enterprise is his management committee, what are we anxious about, what do you say, Lao Liu? ”

Liu Zejiang echoed with a smile: "That's right, it's okay to hand it over to Director Ji, Shangyuan, don't be brainless, if you want to cry, you should cry in the management committee." ”

When Jiang Shangyuan heard this, the two of them talked farther and farther, clearly setting him up. He came this time, it was Ji Dongliang and Hu Yue's idea, I wanted him to give Meng Dongran some problems, but I didn't think that Meng Dongran didn't care at all. Forget it, let's go back and discuss other countermeasures with Ji Dongliang, it seems that Nalu can't bluff Meng Dongran for a week.

As soon as Jiang Shangyuan left, Liu Zejiang laughed: "Dongran, your deputy position is interesting, so interesting." ”

Meng Dongran also smiled and said: "What is this, there is more interesting than this." Meng Dongran then told Liu Zejiang an interesting thing, after Jialiang married Guofeng, He Bixin seemed very depressed, and Jiang Shangyuan gave He Bixin advice in the name of an old friend to solve problems. first proposed that He Bixin should get the position of general manager in the newly formed Guofeng shares, and if Sun Guofeng was not happy, he would make trouble with him, anyway, Chen Jialiang left her shares; Moreover, he can also put pressure on Sun Guofeng. As a result, Sun Guofeng really disagreed, and reluctantly agreed to let He Bixin be the deputy general manager, and Jiang Shangyuan really ran to put pressure on Sun Guofeng, as if he was He Bixin's spokesperson. Sun Guofeng is also poisonous, he summoned the middle-level and above cadres, and asked Deputy Director Jiang Shangyuan to give instructions, Jiang Shangyuan at the beginning of the matter, talking about the establishment of a modern enterprise system, people-oriented, etc., to the middle, a middle-level cadre handed over a note, on which a dog was drawn, a bewitching mouse was drawn, and Jiang Shangyuan replied, what kind of theory is this in modern enterprise management? Jiang Shangyuan watched it for a long time, and only understood that it was a dog taking a mouse and meddling in things, and he was so angry that he was angry at the meeting. Afterwards, Sun Guofeng laughed at him, Director Jiang, that's not about dogs meddling with rats, in Western economics, it is the standard and transposition of enterprises, which is very famous. Really? Jiang Shangyuan was dumbfounded at that time, and when he returned home, he immediately found a large stack of economic works to find this famous theory.

"Was he originally scolding him for taking a mouse, he wouldn't be stupid to this extent?" Liu Zejiang laughed and said.

"Our deputy director, always feels that he is superior in theory, and he is being led by Sun Guofeng, of course, he will honestly go to investigate."

"Then what happened to him and He Bixin?" Liu Zejiang became interested.

Meng Dongran shook his head and said: "Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, if you talk about it again, it will involve people's privacy." ”

"That's also called privacy, that's self-inflicted." Liu Zejiang scoffed.

Jiang Shangyuan couldn't help He Bixin, seeing He Bixin depressed all day long, he couldn't help but feel pity for the jade, but once he invited He Bixin to have supper, he did something to others in the car, and said that he had been ...... a long time ago He Bixin can really do it, so she took out the phone and called "110" at that time, but fortunately, the little policeman who came from "110" recognized Jiang Shangyuan, as if he was a student of Jiang Shangyuan's wife, otherwise, this farce would have become big.

Najiang Shangyuan opened his heart for a while, and the topic of the two returned to work, Liu Zejiang said with deep concern: "Let him be responsible for coordinating the high-tech zone, can you rest assured?" ”

Meng Dongran smiled bitterly and said: "You can't let him do nothing, no matter how you say it, he is also the first deputy director, I can't monopolize the power, otherwise he will go to the organization department to complain." ”

It is rumored that Jiang Shangyuan has gone to the head of the organization department more than once to complain about his grievances, saying that the Reform and Reform Commission is now a complete hall of words, and the four deputy posts and one discipline inspection secretary together cannot say half a sentence.

"But he's not doing work, he's making trouble."

"There are few troublemakers, and life is not tasteful, when will we work together?"

"That's right, but I'm still worried that the focus of this observation is on the high-tech zone, and if there is a problem in the high-tech zone, the observation meeting will be ......."

"What are you afraid of, isn't it just to observe, the good and the bad, I hope that the leaders will see more scars, don't always think that the song and swallow dance of the warbler, but also look at the people's livelihood and suffering." Meng Dongran suddenly sighed.

"It's over, it's over, hey, don't talk about this, don't talk about this." Liu Zejiang hurriedly stopped it, Meng Dongran never said such things, it seems that he has been stimulated a lot recently.

The day after the province set the date for the observation meeting, Jiang Shangyuan reported to Meng Dongran that the six enterprises in the high-tech zone had stopped working and had done a lot of work, but they were still unwilling to start work. Zhao Naizin also heard the news and asked Meng Dongran: "What's going on with these six companies, they really can't start work, or is there another reason?" ”

Meng Dongran prevaricated: "It's both." ”

Zhao Naizin's brows furrowed, his face gradually became ugly, he was silent for a long time, and said in a heavy tone: "Dongran, you tell me the truth, is someone obstructing it?" ”

Meng Dongran's mood darkened, he knew that anyone who made any action behind his back would not be able to hide it from Zhao Naizin. Zhao Naizin just pretended to be confused too often, this is not called wisdom and foolishness, this is forced by the situation. If it weren't for the work, Zhao Naizin was afraid that he wouldn't even ask this sentence, but Meng Dongran still couldn't tell him the truth, telling the truth was tantamount to stimulating Zhao Naizin and forcing Zhao Naizin to make technical mistakes.

"Probably not, the mayor is too worried, Shangyuan and they are doing work, and it is estimated that the situation is not so pessimistic."

"Really not that pessimistic?" Zhao Naizin's eyes were full of doubts.

Meng Dongran nodded heavily, and he gave Zhao Naizin confidence with his composure. Zhao Naizin really didn't ask anymore.

In fact, Meng Dongran also has a gambling mentality, he has repeatedly studied the six companies that have been suspended, all of which were cultivated after Ji Dongliang served as the director of the management committee, and the leader is naturally Lu Zhou, since there is Lu Zhou, Pan Xiangming will not sit idly by, before Pan Xiangming asks about this matter, he and Zhao Naizin should not be in a hurry.

Officialdom sometimes plays patience, you can't hold your breath, you have to mess with the cards, once the cards are played, and then want to recycle, the room for maneuver will be very small. Meng Dongran would rather hide the cards than play them easily, he doesn't believe it, who dares to take such a thing as a child's play?

Then came the news that the six companies asked ** to start work, but ** must be compensated. Meng Dongran smiled, he had seen too much of this kind of trick, the management committee sent the emergency report to his desk, he glanced at it, and approved a few words: Please Director Shangyuan to solve it properly. Then, he called Xie Huamin to go to the provincial capital.

Going to the provincial capital with Xie Huamin was an idea that Meng Dongran had for a long time. After Mei Ying operated such an article for Secretary Xiang Ming of the Municipal Party Committee, Meng Dongran always felt that he couldn't stand Zhao Naizin, as if he was helping Pan Xiangming squeeze Zhao Naizin. Secretary Xiang Ming's seminar, although Zhao Naizin made a lot of effort to support the scene, enthusiasm and enthusiasm were very high, but he believed that Zhao Naizin had a pimple in his heart and would definitely not be happy. The applause is just an attitude that the mayor should have towards the secretary, and it is for others to see, not from Zhao Naizin's original intention. It turned out that he had an idea, and after Secretary Xiang Ming's article came out, he would help Zhao Naizin get another article through other channels. The mayor cannot advance the secretary, and it is still permissible to follow the pace of the secretary and comply with the rules. Now that this idea has changed, Secretary Xiang Ming's article has been out of the limelight, and if he follows in his footsteps, it will make people laugh, as if Tongjiang and his gang will come to work on paper. Meng Dongran decided to find another way to create momentum for Mayor Zhao Naizin.

Meng Dongran called Xie Huamin with two meanings: one is that the tension between him and Xie Huamin must be relieved, and there can be no pimple between them, and the focus of the observation meeting is Xie Huamin's Guanghua Company, Xie Huamin is always listless, and it is not good for public or private, so she has to find an opportunity to twist the tendon in her heart; Second, when you go to the provincial capital to find someone, someone has to pay, and when it comes to the vulgar place, you have to bring a small treasury. Last time, it was Sun Guofeng, and this time let Sun Guofeng pay this unjust money, even if Sun Guofeng doesn't say anything, Meng Dongran will definitely not be happy; Moreover, he now has a kind of vigilance against Sun Guofeng, and he still tries not to cut his flesh until he is forced to do so.

Xie Huamin didn't know, and when she received the call, she was really confused, how could Meng Dongran take the initiative to invite her to the provincial capital? Until Meng Dongran handed over the bottom in a joking tone: "Bring enough grain and grass, I'm afraid I will ask Boss Xie to put more blood this time." Xie Huamin's brows were relaxed, and it turned out that she was being dragged to be the director of logistics. I am quite happy about the wheel of the enterprise. Don't think that people are taking you to spend money, but actually invest for yourself, and this kind of return on investment is amazingly high. Moreover, there is also a sense of trust in this, and not every business owner can enjoy this "treatment". The scandal between Xie Huamin and Zhao Naizin is also caused by this special "treatment", as long as Zhao Naizin goes to the provincial capital, he always likes to take her with him, Sun Guofeng is very jealous.

Also going with him was Qu Sanping, vice president of Tongjiang Daily. The three of them arrived in the provincial capital and lived separately. Meng Dongran called Director Lu of the Information Department of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. When Director Lu heard that Meng Dongran was coming, his voice immediately revealed a wave of excitement: "Director, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”

"Crooked winds."

"It's still evil, where do you live, do you want me to arrange it?"

Meng Dongran said: "Thank you Lord Lu for your kindness, I live at Crowne Plaza opposite your house, and I am admiring the tweed on the balcony of your house." ”

"Corruption, where to find corrupt elements, I think you are."

The two made a few jokes and got down to business. Meng Dongran said: "You still remember what happened to Lord Tolu last time, right? ”

Director Lu said: "I remember, I'm afraid you will forget." ”

Meng Dongran said: "I remember it as an idle memory, if Lord Lu doesn't help, where will I, Grandma Liu, burn incense?" ”

"If you have a pig's head, you're afraid that you won't be able to sacrifice it in the temple? Wait, I'll bring someone over right away. ”

Half an hour later, Director Lu and two reporters from the TV station came, Mo Fei, the head of the news column at half past eight, and the host Qiu Yan. Mo Fei Meng Dongran knew him, when he was the deputy secretary general, Mo Fei went to Tongjiang to interview a few times, Meng Dongran took care of him quite well, and Mo Fei also missed the old feelings. Qiu Yan is a little raw, but Meng Dongran has seen the show she did, the angle is unique, the idea is high, and it belongs to the kind of landing sound. Director Lu was able to bring Qiu Yan here, proving that he was concerned about this matter.

Director Lu introduced the two parties, and Bi Gong and Bijing chatted with Vice President Qu for a while, and Vice President Qu took the excuse to go back to the room to take medicine, leaving time for Meng Dongran. A few people sat around the couch and started talking about business.

Murphy said that they are planning a special topic recently, similar to the mayor's interview, focusing on how to save Haidong's economy after the outbreak of the financial crisis, inviting the mayors of various cities to talk about ideas and countermeasures, of course, it is better to talk about the macro level, which is of guiding significance for the next step of the province's work. Meng Dongran was very excited when he heard it, but he didn't know that they could put Zhao Naizin first, and there must be a lot of people competing for such a highlight show. Director Lu saw his thoughts, and said: "Director Mo has a green light, Lao Meng and Mr. Xie came this time, just to use the provincial platform to encourage Tongjiang, you don't walk according to the old steps, I think the mayor of this interview is the first to let Mayor Naizin go, anyway, Dongjiang is the de facto boss, it doesn't matter how many people are ranked, other cities are different, who comes first and who comes later, there is still a saying." ”

As soon as he said this, Meng Dongran's heart was pounding, if this was really the case, it would be perfect.

Mo Fei seemed to have concerns: "If you want to say it, the director of the department opened his mouth, and I have no reason not to listen to the person in charge of the column, but this column is very important to the station, and I don't hide it from you, and several leaders in the station are also worried about who will make trouble first." ”

The fire beating in Meng Dongran's heart popped and extinguished, and he could only look at Director Lu as if asking for help. Director Lu also showed embarrassment and did not know how to solve this problem. At this time, Qiu Yan, who had been reserved, spoke: "I have an idea, I don't know if it will work?" ”

"Please." Director Lu has a lot of respect for Qiu Yan, and his tone is not like a leader talking to his subordinates. This is where the leaders of the propaganda department excel, Director Lu has been in charge of the news for five years, and it is said that every order must be carried out honestly, but he always has a consultative tone in everything, and it is difficult for their local leaders to do this.

"This show is going to be titled, to put it mildly, it means that the station wants to pull sponsorship, if ......" Qiu Yan half-exposed her beautiful teeth, smiled quite reservedly, seemed to be a little taboo about the word sponsorship, and then said with relief: "Of course, we are not here for this, several leaders must not think too much." ”

"No, how can you run a show now without sponsorship, I think this is a double thing, interviews have also been done, and companies have also promoted, good opportunity, Director Meng, what do you say, or settle it now?" Director Lu answered.

"If we can do this, we can tell the stage, of course, we have no intention of using this to rip off money." Murphy explained with a sincere face.

Meng Dongran's brows tightened just now loosened, and he looked at Xie Huamin with a smile. This matter must be Xie Huamin's willingness, the sponsorship fee is not a small amount, and he can't make decisions for others.

Xie Huamin said eloquently: "The two leaders will decide, and I will implement what the leaders decide." ”

"What else is set, mutual benefit, I don't think it's a problem." Director Lu took care of everything, and he was afraid that if he hesitated again, there would be changes on Mo Fei's side. There is more than one mayor looking for him these days, and there will be no city that can't afford to pay a mere one or two million in sponsorship fees.

"If Mr. Xie doesn't have any opinions, then I'll report to Taili? Of course, before it is formalized, we have to trouble Director Lu to tell Cao Tai about it, lest Cao Tai say that we have no leader. Qiu Yan spoke quickly.

As soon as Director Lu heard that it was Cao Tai, he immediately took out the phone and called. A few minutes later, the matter was settled, not only was Zhao Naizin the first to show his face, but the sponsorship fee was discounted by 20%.

Everyone was happy.

In the afternoon, Meng Dongran set up a banquet, Director Lu invited Deputy Director Cao and his wife, and said about the interview, the relevant details were finalized one by one, and the specific time was set after the observation meeting, so that the effect would be better, as for the content of the interview, the column team came up with an outline, submitted it to the city for approval, and then fed back to the TV station. Meng Dongran couldn't help but feel these things, what the interview specifically talked about, what levels were involved, and how to grasp it, he already knew it in his heart. In addition, another principle is set: not surpass Pan Xiangming, but it is not inferior, and it is enough to be equal.

After a hearty drink, Meng Dongran stuffed the red envelope prepared in advance into the gift bag, and gave Director Lu an extra card. Director Lu is also not polite, it is natural to take the card, and it is natural to do things, this natural relationship is comfortable. The two walked to the door, and Meng Dongran asked: "The day of the broken place is coming, it is swaying, and it doesn't rain when the light thunders." Director Lu was happy in his heart, and he didn't hide it, and said: "It's soon, but I have to get married, either the newspaper or the Radio, Film and Television Bureau." ”

"It's okay to get married, it's better to go around and go back than to be in the old place."

"There are more monks and less porridge, you can do it, step by step. By the way, if you have been burning more fires recently, the opportunity may come soon. ”

"What do you mean?" Meng Dongran's heart moved, and his words seemed to be mysterious.

"Xu may have to leave, I heard that the province does not plan to send it again, and give local cadres a chance." Xu is the deputy mayor of Xu, who belongs to the provincial cadres, and the province plans to let him go to another city to serve as the executive director, and Secretary Yuhao has already expressed his position to leave it to the comrades in Tongjiang. In recent years, there have been too many provincial cadres, and the comrades below have no hope of "progressing," and their enthusiasm has been damaged.

Half an hour before Meng Dongran's phone call, Director Lu was in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and his affairs were basically decided, and he was appointed as the deputy editor-in-chief of the provincial newspaper, which was a transitional arrangement. Hua Chun, the minister of the organization department, had a good relationship with him as a university alumnus, and told him the news in passing. Meng Dongran came just in time, and I believe this news will be useful to him.

"Remember, if you push one person, you will step on too many bridges, and it is easy to hurt your feet." Director Lu had something to say in his words and told him more, and in his affection, he broke the mechanism. Meng Dongran was stunned, Director Lu had already gotten into the car, said hello to him with a smile, and left.

Meng Dongran was not stunned, and felt that his heart was swept away. Director Lu said a few words, and explained many things, especially the last sentence, which pointed to his death hole. Could it be ......

I don't know when, Xie Huamin came to him. Xie Huamin and Vice President Qu have been busy seeing off the guests, all the guests have been sent away, Vice President Qu also used dizziness to go back to the hotel first, what a smart person he is, his task has been completed on this trip, he should hide in the hotel in a good way. As for whether Xie Huamin and Meng Dongran can use this night to create something, he can't do anything, but as Meng Dongran's friend for many years, Meng Dongran's thoughts are clear to him.

"It's windy, be careful of catching a cold." Xie Huamin whispered and sent his concern over.

Sure enough, the wind really rose, and the cool breeze hit his body with wetness, Meng Dongran's body burned by alcohol gradually cooled, and his mind returned to reality from the vast officialdom maze. Turned to Xie Huamin and said, "Thank you, Huamin." ”

This Hua Min shouted so naturally, but Xie Huamin was very surprised, and he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. Along the way, Meng Dongran didn't say much to her, even at the wine table just now, Meng Dongran also showed a lot of distance from her, which made her have to concentrate on figuring out his every smile and experiencing his every look. Fortunately, her every step of the follow-up is in place, and the cooperation is seamless. This time, Meng Dongran finally used this affectionate title to lift the curtain that was covering between them, and Xie Huamin was relieved and relieved. She greedily enjoyed the sweetness and warmth brought to her by this title, and then walked over generously and naturally grabbed Meng Dongran's arm with her hand.

"Shall I go with you, take a walk?" It seems to be asking, but there is a sweetness in the tone that cannot be refused. Meng Dongran shuddered, feeling enveloped by a soft wave, and couldn't help but step on her beat.

Under the soft and sweet night, the shadow of a couple was dragged longer and longer by them. Meng Dongran seemed to have a lot of things blocked in his heart, and there was nowhere to pour. Xie Huamin was also looking forward to what he said, but he didn't give them a chance at night, pulling them into another sweetness.

The provincial city of Dongjiang left a good night for them, although there were not too many stories that happened this night, but in Meng Dongran's heart, a weed-like thought began to grow wildly from this night, and it couldn't be stopped. Sometimes he is very frustrated, how can he be so shameless, it is a woman who does not belong to him. But sometimes he is very reasonable, because he finds that Xie Huamin and Zhao Naizin are not as close as the rumors say!

The next day, Meng Dongran still wanted to stay in the provincial capital, and it was a pleasure to stay for one more day, which was his true idea at the time, but a phone call ruthlessly smashed his "conspiracy", Liu Zejiang, deputy secretary general of the city, said on the phone that the observation group was personally led by Vice Governor Luo, and asked him to return to Tongjiang quickly.
