As soon as Jiang Chaolin stepped out of the elevator of the main building of the municipal party committee, he saw that Mayor Wen Chunming and members of the standing committee of the municipal party committee had gathered in front of the main building, and were preparing to greet Liu Huabo, secretary of the provincial party committee, and the leading comrades of the relevant provincial party committee. I also noticed that Sun Yadong, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, was in a very high mood and was talking to Shen Chun, the head of the Propaganda Department, with a smile.

Sun Yadong said: "...... I said a long time ago that Gao Changhe didn't stay long in the provincial party committee, look, right? ”

Shen Chun said: "I really didn't expect this, I thought that Gao Changhe would be the secretary general of the provincial party committee and join the Standing Committee ......."

Jiang Chaolin walked over and quipped, "What? You're the head of the amateur organization again? He glanced at Sun Yadong and asked, "Hey, where is Comrade Hua Bo's convoy?" ”

Sun Yadong replied: "I just received a call from Director Chen of the Public Security Bureau, who reported in the lead car that the convoy had already gone to the Third Ring Viaduct and would arrive soon. ”

Jiang Chaolin nodded, walked in front of Wen Chunming, and took the time to talk to Wen Chunming about flood control: "Chunming, I went around the river embankment last night and looked around, I was really shocked, this year's flood not only came early, but it was indeed very serious!" I told Wang Shaobo that from now on, there must be someone on duty on the embankment 24 hours a day and keep in touch with the municipal flood control headquarters at any time. ”

Wen Chunming was a little moved, and said with a wry smile: "Secretary Jiang, you really stood on the last shift!" ”

Jiang Chaolin smiled: "No, it's going to be a change of guard soon, and it won't be my business in the future." Didn't you often say in the past, 'The municipal party committee sits on the bow of the boat, ** walks on the shore, the people's congress raises its hand, and the CPPCC sways around', I'm going to raise my hand in the future......"

Wen Chunming said: "Old secretary, I don't think you will just raise your hand......"

Just as he was saying this, two police cars with Binh Duong license plates drove into the compound of the municipal party committee, and behind the Pingyang police car, followed by the special car of Liu Huabo, secretary of the provincial party committee, Ma Wanli, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and accompanying vehicles, and finally, a police car of the provincial public security department. After the car stopped in front of the main building, Liu Huabo, Ma Wanli, and Gao Changhe, the new secretary of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee, walked out of their respective cars.

Liu Huabo, who was walking in the head, stepped forward and shook Jiang Chaolin's hand and said, "Comrade Chaolin, are you in a hurry?" ”

Jiang Chaolin said with a smile: "No hurry, no hurry, it didn't exceed our expectations, two hundred and sixty kilometers, all the way to the highway, that is, more than two hours by car." What's more, after entering the Binh Duong territory, our leading car has been reporting, and we are very clear about the location of the leaders. ”

Ma Wanli smiled: "Old Jiang, you didn't think we would take a helicopter, ah?" ”

Jiang Chaolin also smiled: "Secretary Ma, you are not so eager to let me step down, right?" ”

Liu Huabo had already walked in front of Wen Chunming at this time, and was shaking hands with Wen Chunming, when he heard Jiang Chaolin's words, he immediately turned around and said, "Oh, Comrade Chaolin, you really want to play a 10,000-year-old pile in Pingyang, ah?" ”

Jiang Chaolin said: "What kind of 10,000-year-old pile, just to bury this old bone in Pingyang!" ”

Liu Huabo said again and again: "Okay, okay, then, leave me a place in Pingyang Yinghai Cemetery, I, after the leaves fall back to the roots, I will also come to be your companion!" "This is going to Lingtai to gather the old department, and the banner is 100,000 to kill Yama." ”

Jiang Chaolin laughed: "Secretary Hua Bo, are you still going to pull me to reform the Hades Palace?!" ”

Gao Changhe held Jiang Chaolin's hand and immediately said: "Old secretary, I really convince you and Secretary Hua Bo, I really have you in front of Lord Yan, I'm afraid it won't work if you don't reform!" You old ministry is one of me, too! ”

Jiang Chaolin smiled: "You Gao Changhe, what are you kidding?!" You are a cross-century cadre, what kind of old department is it? You have to cross this century well, and take us Pingyang to cross this century well! patted the back of Gao Changhe's hand, and said affectionately, "Do you know, more than half a year ago, I moved your mind and wanted to dig you to Pingyang!" ”

Gao Changhe smiled: "Was it after we met at the provincial party committee work meeting at the end of last year?" ”

Jiang Chaolin said: "Yes, your macro argument about the surname public or the surname private makes me think deeply!" ”

Gao Changhe: "Old secretary, it is you and the comrades in Pingyang who have done a good job and solved the problem of public and private surnames well in practice!" At that time, I was writing an article according to Secretary Hua Bo's instructions, and I felt that the facts of Binh Duong Private Industrial Park were very convincing, so I approached you at the meeting. ”

Jiang Chaolin asked with concern: "Where did you post this article?" I'd love to see it. ”

Gao Changhe pointed at Liu Huabo and whispered: "The big boss didn't let me post it later, saying that there was something to do, let's do it first, so as not to make the whole country talk about it." ”

Jiang Chaolin smiled and said: "Our big boss is shrewd, when he was engaged in township enterprises in Pingyang, he didn't just do it, and he was bored to develop, and people scolded him, saying that township enterprises were the source of unhealthy trends, and he pretended not to hear ......."

Liu Huabo heard this, and immediately shouted: "Hey, Chaolin, don't just say bad things about me, please take a seat in the house!" Why do you have an endless relationship with Gao Changhe? You'll have time in the future! ”

Jiang Chaolin was stunned, then walked to the front of the team and said: "Please, please, please, leaders, please ...... inside."

As soon as he sat down in the conference room of the municipal party committee, Ma Wanli quietly reminded Liu Huabo and said: "Comrade Huabo, I don't think Lao Jiang's emotions are right!" ”

Liu Huabo said: "What's wrong? I think it's okay. Yes? ”

Ma Wanli was worried: "Seriously, Comrade Hua Bo, I am a little worried about the unity of the future team. ”

Liu Huabo waved his hand: "Old Ma, let's not be a prophet now, let's take a look." ”

Having said that, Liu Huabo knows it in his heart: Jiang Chaolin not only has emotions for Ma Wanli, but also seems to have a lot of emotions, and they are revealed in the hidden dialogue as soon as they meet. This made him quite surprised and uneasy. Liu Huabo believes that this is not quite in line with Jiang Chaolin's consistent style. Jiang Chaolin has always "talked about politics", although he has never looked down on Ma Wanli from Changjiang City, but he has never said anything about Ma Wanli in front of people and behind his back. Today, it is very strange that he actually said all the words that Ma Wanli was eager to let him step down. This shows that Jiang Chaolin is suspicious of this re-election, and he has calculated the account on Ma Wanli's head.

The enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal CPC Committee that followed was quite good, and the atmosphere was very warm. After Minister Qi of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee announced the decision on appointment and dismissal on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, Jiang Chaolin immediately expressed his attitude: Resolutely implement the decision of the Provincial Party Committee and assist the new secretary Gao Changhe to do a good job in Pingyang. Gao Changhe also made a speech, saying that he would study hard from the veteran comrades and the comrades in Pingyang, familiarize themselves with the situation as soon as possible, devote themselves to work, and strive to live up to the great trust placed in the 9 million people of Pingyang.

What everyone didn't expect was that Gao Changhe said something he said during the conversation with the provincial party committee yesterday: "...... Speaking from the bottom of my heart, I am really trembling to come to Binh Duong, an economically developed city, to be the secretary of the municipal party committee. Until today, when the car drove all the way to Pingyang, I was still asking myself: Gao Changhe, Gao Changhe, how can you reach out and pick such a big peach? Secretary Jiang Chaolin and the previous municipal party committee team have set such a dazzling benchmark, can you and your new team jump over? ! It's not easy for you to cross the century! ”

Jiang Chaolin interjected with a smile: "Comrade Changhe, don't say that! The benchmark of Pingyang is higher, and the foundation in all aspects is naturally good, with such a good foundation, I believe that you will not only be able to cross over, but also do better than our old comrades! Don't say anything about picking peaches, if you want to talk about picking peaches, you're not the first, the first one is me. Ten years ago, I first picked a big peach from Comrade Hua Bo! Without the good foundation left by Comrade Hua Bo, there would be no rapid development of Binh Duong in the past ten years. ”

Liu Huabo smiled: "Then who did I pick the peaches from?" It should be regarded as picking peaches from Liang Qingping and Liang Lao, right? "Waving his hand," I agree with Comrade Chaolin's opinion, don't say anything about picking peaches. Our reform achievements are like this, and people have worked one after another; The history of our reform has been written by the common efforts of one generation after another, who have pledged their lives for their families. No one can conquer the world and history. As individuals, no matter how big the official is and how long he has been in office, we are just a wave of the torrent of the times. ”

Jiang Chaolin nodded: "That's a good thing!" ”

Ma Wanli also said: "Comrade Hua Bo has revealed the essence of the problem, that is, the history of our reform has always been written by the strength of the people. The chairman said back then, 'The people, and only the people, are the driving force behind the creation of history.'" 'How well said......"

Liu Huabo noticed that when Ma Wanli said this, Jiang Chaolin's face was a little unnatural.

After the meeting ended, Mayor Wen Chunming asked everyone to go to the Pingyang Hotel for dinner.

Liu Huabo wanted to have a good talk with Jiang Chaolin, so he said to Jiang Chaolin when he went out: "Hey, Chaolin, I'm not used to eating in the hotel, go, go, go to your house to eat hand-rolled noodles!" ”

Jiang Chaolin was quite surprised: "Secretary Hua Bo, what are you kidding?" So many of you leaders are here in Binh Duong, and Comrade Changhe is in office for the first day, is it appropriate for us to eat hand-rolled noodles? ”

Liu Huabo smiled: "What's inappropriate? Are you still afraid that Secretary Ma and Gao Changhe won't eat without you, ah? ”

Jiang Chaolin hesitated and said: "Another day, there will be a meeting of party and government cadres in the city at three o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Liu Huabo pointed to his watch: "It's twelve o'clock, and there are still three hours until three o'clock in the afternoon, so it's too late." Saying that, he pulled Jiang Chaolin, "Let's go, let's go, eat hand-rolled noodles, and I can also save you some hospitality expenses in Pingyang." ”

Jiang Chaolin smiled bitterly: "What kind of entertainment expenses do you save?" If the secretary of your provincial party committee doesn't eat, one table of meals is still one table of meals. ”

That being said, Jiang Chaolin finally agreed.

So, the two drove to Jiang Chaolin's house to eat hand-rolled noodles.

Sitting in the car, Liu Huabo asked: "Chaolin, is there anything you can't figure out?" ”

Jiang Chaolin said: "What's not to figure out? It's time to get off the bus. ”

Liu Huabo sighed: "I will have to go down next year, and we old comrades will definitely not be able to cross the century!" The history of the future should be written by Gao Changhe's younger comrades! ”

Jiang Chaolin said indifferently: "This is the law of nature, no one can resist it." ”

Liu Huabo patted Jiang Chaolin's hand: "That's right, if your old guy thinks like this, I'm relieved!" To tell you the truth, everyone knows your influence in Binh Duong, and some comrades are worried that the leadership in Binh Duong will not be united in the future......"

Jiang Chaolin smiled: "These comrades are too worried, right? I have already left the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee, and I will be attending the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee as an observer in the future. If you, the secretary of the provincial party committee, don't worry about me, I can make a statement that you will only have ears and no mouth at the Standing Committee. Good no good? ”

Liu Huabo made a big face: "What is this called, ah?" Will my army? ”

Jiang Chaolin was not timid at all: "Big chief, it is your army that you will be my army." Are you going to eat hand-rolled noodles, or are you going to talk to me about work? If we want to talk about work, let's go to the office of the Municipal People's Congress to talk about it. I, the director of the Municipal People's Congress, will report to you, the director of the Provincial People's Congress. ”

Liu Huabo shook his head: "Old man, we worked in the same team for so many years ten years ago, and now, I really don't even want to invite me to eat a bowl of noodles, ah?" ”

Jiang Chaolin sighed: "I'm afraid this bowl of noodles won't be delicious......"

Liu Huabo said with a smile: "Whether it's delicious or not, I have to eat it, and I want to listen to your heart while eating your noodles like in the past." Even when we arrive at Yinghai Cemetery in the future, we still have to be buddies! ”

Jiang Chaolin was also moved by his true feelings, and he said: "Okay, Hua Bo, I'll make friends with you!" ”

At this time, the car galloped into the dormitory compound of the municipal party committee and stopped in front of an apartment building with a red sign of "Public Servant Building", and Jiang Chaolin's wife Wang Yuzhen, who had been notified first, was waiting downstairs.
