At 7:40 in the morning, Meng Dongran came to the National Development and Reform Commission, and Li Kaiwang, director of the office of the commission, was already waiting at the door. Seeing him, Li Kaiwang took two steps forward and asked respectfully, "Hello director." Meng Dongran nodded, and the two walked into the office together, Li Kaiwang took out the day's schedule and said, "This is today's activity arrangement, there are two activities that I have cut, and you have to be busy all day." ”

Meng Dongran had already driven those bastards out of his mind in the early morning, glanced at the schedule and said: "I and Deputy Director Jiang accompany the research team, you must hurry, the report cannot be delayed any longer, and the research team must get it out before leaving." ”

"No problem, please rest assured." Li Kaiwang's voice was very soft. This man's voice is the same as his style of doing things, which is very low-key.

"I can't let go." Meng Dongran said worriedly, "The situation is so grim, every day closes the factory, where do you let me put my heart?" Speaking of this, another thing suddenly popped into his mind: "By the way, you once told me, what kind of relatives do you have in Xiaotang's academy?" ”

"It's my cousin, from the Department of Chinese Painting, who was a counselor, and I went in last year, what's the matter with the director?" Li Kaiwang asked very carefully, observing Meng Dongran's face as he asked.

"Oh, it's okay, Xiaotang went on a trip, and the house is empty." Meng Dongran threw the activity watch on the table, and the whole person looked empty.

"Teacher Ye has been going out to play lately, and their academy is really leisurely." Li Kaiwang didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to say it deeply, so he could only echo such a sentence. Meng Dongran didn't answer this time, as if he was struggling with something in his heart, and Li Kaiwang had to return the topic to work. The work of the National Development and Reform Commission is a big spread, and both of them are newcomers, who have to find out the situation and understand people thoroughly, and they also have to deal with emergencies at any time, and they feel that they have no time to spare.

Meng Dongran began to concentrate on his work, and when he finished handling the few important matters at hand, Lin Andong, the office secretary, knocked on the door and came in and reminded him: "Director Meng, Mayor Zhao is already downstairs." ”

"So fast." Meng Dongran raised his wrist to look at his watch, and when he saw that the time was really not early, he put away the materials and walked out. Lin Andong followed behind him as if he had fallen into something, and said, "Secretary Pan also went today, and the municipal party committee just called." ”

Pan Xiangming also goes? Meng Dongran suddenly retracted his steps, quickly jumped a few question marks in his mind, and then, as if he had come to his senses, he secretly worked hard under his feet, and left the secretary Lin Andong behind him in a few steps. The secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor personally accompanied the investigation, and it seems that the effect has come out.

A research team from the National Development and Reform Commission, accompanied by Mei Ying from the province, focused on the response measures taken by Tongjiang after the outbreak of the financial crisis and the current problems. The report compiled by Meng Dongran and asked Li Kaiwang to concentrate on the eight major problems that have arisen in Tongjiang's industrial enterprises, especially the high-tech industries, in the storm to reflect to the province and the central government, and strive for greater support. Meng Dongran came downstairs, Mayor Zhao Naizin was already standing there, explaining something to Deputy Secretary-General Liu Zejiang, seeing him, Mayor Zhao Naizin beckoned. Meng Dongran walked over quickly, and Mayor Zhao Naizin said: "Are you ready for a few points today, you must be foolproof." Meng Dongran nodded solemnly: "Mayor, please rest assured, we have accepted the points one by one, and we have repeatedly explained what should be explained, and there will be no mistakes." Liu Zejiang also interjected at the right time: "Director Meng is an expert in this area, and this kind of inspection should be familiar with the road, mayor, you can rest assured." When Zhao Naizin heard what they said, he had a bottom in his heart, and changed another expression on his face, and quipped: "You two are veterans, I'm afraid that you will join forces and sell me as the mayor." Dongran, Secretary Pan will also go today, it can be simpler at noon, the reception banquet in the afternoon must be arranged, you can't lose Secretary Pan's face, it's best for you to implement it in the middle. There is also the issue of gifts, you and Zejiang will consider it again, and you can't lose Tongjiang's face. ”

said that he couldn't lose Tongjiang's face, but in fact, he couldn't lose Zhao Naizin's face, and Meng Dongran still knew this. When he was the deputy secretary-general, every time the city came to the research team or inspection team, Meng Dongran would use his brains on gifts. The gift is a small thing, not many people take it seriously, say big, you really can't be sloppy, in the past there are gifts that are not suitable for the whole work "send" away. There was a deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress, who was not in good health, but he liked to go below to inspect and guide the work. I once came to Tongjiang to guide the construction of the legal system and the work of letters and visits by the masses, and the secretary general of the Municipal People's Congress, who was responsible for the reception, had an extra heart when he gave gifts, and specially asked someone to get a kind of Chinese herbal medicine tonic from a Chinese herbal medicine base in Tongjiang, saying that it was a great supplement for strengthening the kidneys and strengthening the yang, and it was a great supplement for men. The vice chairman of the National People's Congress was very happy and praised the secretary general for doing things. However, not long after returning to the province, Tongjiang was criticized, saying that the legal system work was written down on paper, and that it looked good, but it did not grasp the implementation, and the masses' petitions were full of loopholes, and those who should not be prevented were not guarded against. Tongjiang was inexplicable, and then inquired, only to know that there was a problem with the medicine sent, and the deputy director of the National People's Congress ate it worked, and it was very fierce at first, and soon, it was so fierce that it was overwhelmed, and it was tested in the hospital, and the result was that the medicine was a fake and shoddy product, and the ingredients in it were viagra.

Meng Dongran didn't dare to be careless, and said seriously: "We will implement the relevant details one by one, please rest assured that the mayor." Liu Zejiang also said: "We have considered everything that should be considered, and there should be no problem." ”

Zhao Naizin was relieved at this time, and said kindly: "That's good, that's good." After saying that, he went to explain the matter to others. Meng Dongran and Liu Zejiang made eye contact, although it was just a few simple words, they seemed to have experienced a big war.

The convoy picked up the research team from the hotel and headed for the development zone. Meng Dongran held two mobile phones, asked the points to be seen today one by one, and emphasized many things in the middle, and was sure that there would be nothing missing, so he put away the phone and handed his head to the backrest with confidence.

In the morning, the research team looked at three companies and was basically satisfied, which can be seen from their faces. I didn't go back to the hotel at noon, and entertained everyone in a special farm shop leading to the high-tech industrial zone. Xie Huamin, chairman of Guanghua, also came, looking like a dusty man. For some reason, Meng Dongran avoided Xie Huamin all day long, but fortunately, Xie Huamin integrated in as soon as he came, helping to take care of the leaders above, and he didn't care about giving him a look, and lunch was a party.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as the convoy drove into the factory area to be seen, Sun Guofeng suddenly called Meng Dongran, saying that Hu Bingying, the former director of the National Development and Reform Commission, had a stroke and was sent to the hospital half an hour ago. Meng Dongran followed Mei Ying's steps subconsciously and subconsciously stopped, lowered his voice and asked, "Is the situation serious?" ”

"It's more serious than I thought, pitiful, **I'm afraid it's over this time, I just came out of the hospital, it's miserable, it's not a shame." Sun Guofeng's nose twitched, and he said: "Dongran, people still want to open something, don't take something unworthy to screw yourself." ”

Meng Dongran inhaled a breath of cold air in his nose and asked tightly, "What does the hospital say?" Sun Guofeng sighed: "How else can I say, actively treat it, Liu Zhi can't bear it, it collapses, this kind of blow can't stand anyone's head, Dongran ......"

Liu Zhi is Hu Bingying's wife, Sun Guofeng and Meng Dongran's teachers in middle school.

After speaking, Meng Dongran closed the phone, and a strange taste came to him, and he felt a faint pain somewhere in his heart. Looking at the crowd in front of him with sour eyes, Mei Ying, deputy director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, had already followed Director Qin of the National Development and Reform Commission, and Director Qin talked and laughed with Mayor Zhao Naizin, it seems that the research team is very satisfied with Tongjiang's approach in the face of the financial turmoil. Meng Dongran slammed the phone hatefully, and said in his heart: Why is it at this time?

Meng Dongran didn't have much contact with Hu Bingying, and it was actually Liu Zhi who built a bridge for them, but Meng Dongran was not like Sun Guofeng, and Meng Dongran was very indifferent to the eccentric and somewhat withdrawn geography teacher in middle school. When he was the head of Tongba District, he symbolically went to give some gifts at the beginning of the year to show the students' hearts, and later because of Liu Zhi's daughter Hu Yue, he broke off this road that he was barely walking. Hu Bingying and Meng Dongran are more than ten years old, and it stands to reason that they are not yet old enough to retire. After the outbreak of the financial crisis, the role of the National Development and Reform Commission became important, and a large number of problems were waiting for the National Development and Reform Commission to solve. After the Spring Festival, Tongjiang City adjusted the teams of several important departments, and the municipal party committee and ** both hands were hard, showing no mercy, and not giving you a chance to operate. Hu Bingying, who was less than age, slapped the table with Pan Xiangming, secretary of the municipal party committee, in a hurry, and photographed all the problems that should not be filmed, but fortunately, the municipal party committee just took the official position to clean him up, leaving him room in the last line of defense. Two of the two who came down with him went to prison, and the verified corruption money was only 230,000 yuan, and the other was still confessing the problem, and it was said that it was not far from the prison gate. Hu Bingying did not enter the Municipal People's Congress he longed for, nor did he let the discipline inspection department take him away, but went home early as an investigator. Meng Dongran won the fierce competition and served as the director of the Development and Reform Commission of Tongjiang, the second largest city in Haidong.

The predecessor is hospitalized, and the successor must have an attitude, which is not only etiquette, not just cultivation, but also learning and homework. Meng Dongran realized that he couldn't still follow the research team at this time, and he had to rush to the hospital as soon as possible, and arrange everything before the mayor Zhao Naizin and the municipal party committee asked, especially the emotions of the family members, and their thoughts had to be stabilized.

The question is, can you go away now?

It has been the third day that the National Development and Reform Commission's financial crisis research team has arrived in Tongjiang, and in order to meet this investigation, Meng Dongran has not slept well for nearly half a month, and he has lost five pounds. The preparations that should be done and should not be made have been made, including all the details, he has weighed it repeatedly, and his heart is so careful that he has rehearsed the pinholes, and some scenes have even been rehearsed in advance, and now he is waiting for the results, if he leaves at this juncture, will he be?

But it's too late, it's late, and there is a statement, especially Liu Zhi's mouth.

After thinking about it at both ends, Meng Dongran hurried up, thinking in his heart how to mention this matter to Zhao Naizin, and after following for a long time, he couldn't find a chance, Zhao Naizin was particularly involved in this afternoon, and it seemed that he had found a feeling with Director Qin. After reading the first district and going to the second district, Meng Dongran decided not to report to Zhao Naizin, and whispered to Mei Ying: "I have something urgent, I have to leave." Mei Ying looked at his pale face, and her brows furrowed tightly: "Go now?" ”

"I have to go now, it's a little troublesome, I'm very sorry, I can't tell Mayor Zhao, can I ......"

Mei Ying raised her eyes and swept the team in front of her, the lineup was vast, the lineup was spectacular, it shouldn't be a problem to lose someone, and said, "Go ahead, I'll cover it for you over there, remember, you must accompany you for dinner." ”

"I know, I'll be back before dinner."

After Meng Dongran shrank into the person, he pretended to be free and went into the bathroom, and after the research team left the observation point in the second district, he slipped out of the factory, called the driver Dong Hao, and rushed to the hospital. On the way, he thought that if the Hu family made any requests, they should agree as much as possible if they could, first, they couldn't gag their mouths, and second, they couldn't tell the poor, they really couldn't agree, and they had to answer satisfactorily. A month ago, the former director of the Cultural Bureau was sick, stomach cancer, and had to go to Shanghai for treatment, his family went to the unit to borrow money, the Cultural Affairs Bureau was poor, and the new director of the bureau was a little picky, and the words stimulated the wife of the former director, but the wife of the director hit her head on the desk of the current director and passed out on the spot. In the end, the National People's Congress came forward to re-evaluate the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and the new director couldn't resist it, so people overturned it under the table, and last week he was taken to the procuratorate.

Power is not necessarily yours when you get it, you still have to have the ability to hold it well. The more inconspicuous the link, the more likely it is that you will stumble.

Meng Dongran came to the hospital, asked about the place, and as soon as he arrived at the inpatient department, he ran into Hu Bingying's wife Liu Zhi. Liu Zhi was originally going to find a doctor, but when he saw him, he ran over angrily and said, "You came to see the excitement, now you are satisfied, happy, right?" Liu Zhi asked a lot of questions like a machine gun, and Meng Dongran was speechless when he asked, so he was not embarrassed. People were sad, Meng Dongran didn't take Liu Zhi's words to heart, and asked with a smile: "How is the old leader, does it matter?" Liu Zhi raised his eyebrows: "Don't be pretty, he is paralyzed, cerebral hemorrhage, stroke, and external myocardial ischemia, is it enough, is it cool, your goal has been achieved, right?" Meng Dongran was choked, and Liu Zhi's fire was too big, as if Hu Bingying was his Meng Dong's gas disease. Meng Dongran restrained himself, he didn't dare to show the slightest expression on his face, and stood there in a proper manner, wanting to try to help a little. Later, Hu Bingying's daughter Hu Yue came over, this is a tall and graceful woman, in her thirties, her face is a little old-fashioned, and a few small freckles on her nose seem to be always jumping to make trouble with others, which makes people think that this woman is not very cute. Hu Yue was originally a subordinate of Meng Dongran, when Meng Dongran was the head of Tongba District, Hu Yue was the secretary of the Youth League Committee of Tongba District, and now she is also in the city.

Hu Yue and her mother had the same face, and when she saw Meng Dongran, she neither greeted nor greeted, and stood there with hatred on her face, as if this was a superfluous person, who should not appear in front of them, let alone come to see her father. Meng Dongran was frozen by two hateful faces, neither to go, nor to stay, but the driver Dong Hao knew how to play a round, and took the potion from Hu Yue's hand with a humble face, Hu Yue had no head and no brains to throw a sentence to Dong Hao: "Go aside, you don't need to make trouble." ”

Dong Hao was bored, and looked at Meng Dongran innocently with a pair of eyes.

Meng Dongran called Li Kaiwang, the director of the office, and this kind of thing can only be relieved if it is handed over to Li Kaiwang. He asked Li Kaiwang to find a way to do a good job of the mother and daughter: "They have a bit of a big temper, let's understand it, everyone is the same at this time, everything is focused on the patient, and other problems will be left later." Li Kaiwang naturally knew that this was not a sloppy matter, and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Director Meng, I will do what you ask." Li Kaiwang and Dong Hao went, Meng Dongran stood in the corridor, as if he couldn't remember anything, and after a while, he realized that he was confused by Hu Bingying's illness. People, he sighed, and hurriedly looked for a doctor to understand Hu Bingying's condition.

The doctor is a very dedicated middle-aged man, and when he learned that he was the newly appointed director of the Tongjiang Development and Reform Commission, he was extremely polite, and pulled him to the office, and said that his lover also worked in the city, but unfortunately it was not a real power unit like the Development and Reform Commission. Meng Dongran didn't dare to answer, he had already heard the meaning of the doctor's words, for fear that people would use it as a ladder and climb up. The doctor was also interested, and seeing that Meng Dongran was not interested in the topic of his wife, he put away his heart and talked seriously about Hu Bingying's condition.

Hu Bingying is not lightly ill, cerebral thrombosis, heart disease, high blood pressure and several diseases have jumped out, if he is sent one step late, I am afraid it will be ......

"I still can't think about it, power is not brought in life or death, and it is not brought away in death, and when it retreats, it will retreat, why is it so atmospheric." The attending doctor was bald prematurely, and sighed while touching his bald head. Meng Dongran interjected: "Isn't it okay a few days ago, the city held a symposium for veteran cadres, and the old director made a speech for half an hour?" The head nurse on the side sneered disdainfully: "Besides, these old men, when they are on the stage, they cover the sky with one hand and the ground with the other, and they feel that Tongjiang is their kitchen, and they have only retired for a few days, and they are not used to hearing it." I heard it was for his daughter, angry. ”

"Daughter?" Meng Dongran raised his brows unexpectedly.

The head nurse found the excitement, her voice became more and more exaggerated, and her eyebrows danced: "Have you heard, his daughter didn't run for the county this time, and let others do the position she likes, the old man didn't say that it was someone who went to tea and cool, and he was arguing to make trouble with the municipal party committee, but he didn't take a breath, that's all." The nurse spread her hands out and made a falling pose.

Meng Dongran's heart twitched coldly a few times, avoiding the nurse's gaze, and his mind fell on Hu Yue. Hu Yue has participated in open competition for county-level posts, which is an exploration of Tongjiang's reform of the selection system for leading cadres, and 12 county-level posts have been set up for open competition throughout the city. He didn't know which position Hu Yue was competing for, and he didn't know the results, and he didn't pay attention to it, but he heard that the smell of gunpowder in this competition was very strong, and the results had not yet come out, and the complaint letter had flown to the province.

One afternoon, Meng Dongran traveled between the dean's office and the department, and later went to the ward. Hu Yue's face was much better, and he took the initiative to say thank you. Meng Dongran looked at Li Kaiwang, the director of the office, strangely, and admired his ability more and more.
