With the strength of wine, Sun Yadong reported for more than an hour in one breath on the corruption problems of some county-level leading groups, the problems of localism and xenophobia, the problems of paternalism of Jiang Chaolin, the former secretary of the municipal party committee, and so on.

Of course, the most important of these is the problem of the Binh Duong rolling mill grasped by Mayor Wen Chunming.

According to Sun Yadong, the problem of the Pingyang Rolling Mill is very serious, and after so many years of increasing the budget from 800 million yuan to 1.2 billion yuan, not an inch of steel plate has been rolled out, and it is still relying on loans and debts to pay wages. However, the cadres in the factory ate and drank in the hotel twice for three days, and even ate up the more than 4 million yuan raised by the workers, and sometimes the mayor Wen Chunming participated. The workers of the rolling mill went to the city twice during the year to petition, but in the end it was still unsuccessful. In February this year, as soon as he took office in Pingyang, he checked the rolling mill under pressure from all sides, and found out the problem: the gift alone was more than 673,000, but Jiang Chaolin did not let him check it anymore!

The situation reflected by Sun Yadong shocked Gao Changhe.

originally thought that Sun Yadong had been transferred to Pingyang for a short time, and he was an expatriate cadre, and he was not united with Mayor Wen Chunming and the Pingyang comrades in the team, but now it doesn't seem to be very similar. Based on his understanding of Sun Yadong, this comrade is still quite upright and vicious; when he was secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Changjiang City a year ago, he withstood all kinds of pressure and sent a group of corrupt elements headed by the vice mayor of Changjiang City to court, and I believe that he will not say anything about the issue of Pingyang.

However, Gao Changhe still only listened, and did not say anything about any of the problems reported by Sun Yadong.

Sun Yadong saw it and asked, "Hey, Secretary Gao, I said so much, why didn't you say anything?" ”

Gao Changhe said with a smile: "Don't forget, until now, I am not the secretary of your Pingyang Municipal Party Committee, what do you want me to say?" How do I watch? Even if I take office, I can't just listen to your report and express my position, I have to listen to the opinions of other comrades, right? You have to do research, right? ”

Sun Yadong said: "Okay, okay, Secretary Gao, you have a point, what about me, let's not talk about your slippery head now, after you take office, you should do a good job of investigation and research, I suggest that you start from Pingyang Rolling Mill and Lieshan County." If you finish the investigation and research and find a problem, your brother still has this attitude, I really want to scold you for slickness. ”

Gao Changhe said: "Secretary Sun, don't worry, this kind of thing, I can't slip if I want to." ”

Parting, Sun Yadong said again: "There is one more point, Secretary Gao, you must pay attention to the fact that Pingyang is difficult to return under the rule of Jiang Chaolin's paternalistic style, and it ranks first in the province economically, and the xenophobia is quite serious, so you must be mentally prepared to fight against localism!" ”

Gao Changhe frowned: "Secretary Sun, what you said is too much, right?" What are you fighting? Who are you fighting with? Who is a localist? You say that people are localist, and people may even say that you have a sense of chase! I don't think it's good to talk about the xenophobia of comrades in Pingyang like this. At least you think of yourself as an outsider. ”

Sun Yadong was stunned, looking at Gao Changhe a little blankly, as if he felt that Gao Changhe was very strange.

Gao Changhe patted Sun Yadong on the shoulder, and said kindly: "Old friend, discipline inspection work is not only to investigate problems, but also to take care of cadres, and to cherish the cadres who are working the front line of reform as the precious wealth of the party and the country. I'll send you a task: Give me a study, what are the characteristics of our cadres in Binh Duong? What is the difference between the cadres of economically developed cities, such as Changjiang City, where you have stayed, in terms of mental outlook and leadership style, compared with economically underdeveloped cities, such as Changjiang City, where you have stayed? I always feel that the leap and bounds development of Binh Duong over the years is a mystery, how come Binh Duong has come up step by step in the past 20 years? The economy has risen from the third and fourth positions in the province to the first place in the province in one fell swoop, surpassing the provincial capital? And first in a row for five years in a row? It's not just about regionalism, is it? ”

Sun Yadong immediately heard that Gao Changhe had something to say, and he was tactfully criticizing him for being too extreme in his view of the problem and not comprehensively and correctly evaluating Pingyang's work. But thinking about it, he felt that Gao Changhe's words were not unreasonable, so he nodded and left depressedly.

Gao Changhe didn't stay any longer, and when he accompanied him to the gate of the courtyard, he said something that Sun Yadong liked to hear: "Secretary Sun, don't worry, as long as there is really a corruption problem like you mentioned in Pingyang City, you can investigate it as you want, and I will fully support you." ”

Sun Yadong grabbed Gao Changhe's hand: "Secretary Gao, is this your statement?" ”

Gao Changhe hesitated, but nodded.

Sending Sun Yadong away, before he had time to go to the bathroom to take a bowel movement, the doorbell rang again.

Gao Changhe shook his head helplessly, and said to his wife Liang Li: "From tonight, many small cars in Pingyang will roll into the provincial capital, we must not be quiet, you just come to the courtyard and open the door, anyway, we are not corrupt officials, and there is nothing to be afraid of being stolen!" ”

Liang Li smiled and asked, "Changhe, are you so sure?" ”

Gao Changhe walked to the bathroom and said, "I'm so sure, you go and open the door, I can guarantee that it's a comrade from Pingyang again!" ”

When I came out of the bathroom, I saw that it was a comrade from Pingyang again, a county magistrate or secretary of the county party committee, a comrade from which county, Gao Changhe forgot, his face was very familiar, anyway, he had met when he accompanied the leaders of the provincial party committee, and it seemed that they had eaten together.

The comrade from Pingyang kept calling "Secretary Gao", and carefully sat on the sofa and asked, "Secretary Gao, do you remember me?" ”

Gao Changhe tried hard to recall the name of this person, and said with a smile: "How can you not remember? You received me in Binh Duong and poured me wine, didn't you? That time, you made me miserable, and when I returned to the provincial capital, I slept all the way, so Secretary Liu Huabo gave me a good meal. ”

The comrade from Pingyang said with a smile: "Secretary Gao, I didn't pour that wine, it was our Secretary Geng, you forgot?" I even drank two cups for you! ”

Secretary Geng? Which county in Pingyang has a secretary surnamed Geng? Gao Changhe tried to recall, wanting to use that "Secretary Geng" as a clue to activate his past memories, however, his mind was at a loss, and he still couldn't remember who this person was.

However, someone inadvertently reported to his home: "Secretary Gao, as soon as I heard that you are going to Pingyang to be the secretary of the municipal party committee, our cadres in Lieshan County are very happy!" ”

Lieshan County? It's the corrupt county that Sun Yadong repeatedly mentioned just now! Gao Changhe couldn't help but be surprised.

However, Zhao Chengquan, the magistrate of the corrupt county, did not look like he was corrupt at all, empty-handed, did not even bring any souvenirs, dressed very plainly, and had a sincere smile on his pale and thin face. It's not like running for office, I hardly talked about myself, and I didn't try to send any resumes.

Zhao Chengquan said only a few words politely, and immediately reported concisely on the economic work of Lieshan County.

Gao Changhe maintained due vigilance, just listened, and nodded his head from time to time.

Zhao Chengquan reported to the end, and then he was a little embarrassed to ask: "Secretary Gao, you are about to go to Pingyang to preside over the work, can you do Lieshan a favor first?" Do work for us to go to the Metallurgical Department to approve our electrolytic aluminum project? It's so late, I'm ...... I'm still here to bother you, I'm in a hurry to do this! Actually, I came at seven o'clock, and it can be seen that Secretary Sun's car was parked at the gate of your hospital, so I didn't dare to come in, for fear of affecting your conversation. ”

Gao Changhe's heart was hot, and he immediately said, "Okay, I can agree to this." ”

Zhao Chengquan was happy: "Then tomorrow night, we will have a banquet in your name." ”

Gao Changhe waved his hand: "This can't be done, I can do work in the Metallurgical Hall, but I can't eat." ”

Zhao Chengquan said again: "Then in the name of our Lieshan County, please okay?" ”

Gao Changhe once again categorically refused: "That's not going to work either!" The impact is not good! ”

Zhao Chengquan was obviously disappointed, and stood up and said goodbye quite boringly.

Looking at the back of Zhao Chengquan leaving, Gao Changhe couldn't help muttering a little in his heart, feeling that he seemed to have gone too far, if it weren't for Sun Yadong's clear statement that the corruption problem in the Lieshan County team was serious, he would definitely go to eat this meal, doing practical things for the comrades below is his consistent style, and he will never put up a fight on this kind of thing.
