Everything is so familiar, ten years have passed, and such earth-shaking changes have taken place in Binh Duong, but the home of Jiang Chaolin, the secretary of the municipal party committee, has hardly changed. Jiang Chaolin and his family still live in the "Public Servant Building" named by the Municipal Party Committee that year, and it is still two open sets on the fourth floor. The furniture is still so messy and old, from the desks and old-fashioned sofas of the 50s to the Czech-style cabinets and large wardrobes of the 70s, nothing new has kept up with the trends of the times.

Liu Huabo ate the hand-rolled noodles made by Jiang Chaolin's wife Wang Yuzhen, looked around, and shook his head: "Chaolin, you are outdated, your home as the secretary of the municipal party committee and your image of this economic city are not commensurate!" Look, not a single new weapon! ”

Jiang Chaolin smiled: "Why not? This big color TV was only changed the year before last, at twenty-five o'clock. ”

Only then did Liu Huabo notice that the color TV on the high and low cabinets was larger than before.

Wang Yuzhen also said: "Secretary Liu, there are a lot of new things, the refrigerator has also been replaced with a double door, you look at the window over there, and the air conditioner is much better than in previous years." ”

Liu Huabo still shook his head: "No, no, the homes of some small bureaucrats in our provincial capital are much stronger than those of you feudal officials, and each of them is as luxurious as a hotel!" A decoration can easily cost 100,000 or 200,000. ”

Jiang Chaolin snorted: "Then I suggest that the discipline inspection department investigate these little bureaucrats!" With their legal income, can they turn a nest into a luxury hotel? Where did you get so much money? My family may not be commensurate with the image of a big economic city, but it is very commensurate with our salary income, the country has not yet implemented a high salary system, so far, the Communist Party officials are still poor officials, as long as they do not bend the law for bribes, they can only have this standard of living! ”

Liu Huabo nodded and asked, "Chaolin, what you say from your heart, do you feel that you have suffered a loss?" ”

Jiang Chaolin said: "To be an official is to worry about the worries of the world first, and to be happy with the joy of the world after the world." Oh, by the way, you said this at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and it seems that you said it when you decided to build this public servant building! ”

Liu Huabo smiled and reminded: "I also said that those who want to get rich by the power in their hands, and those who want to get rich first, don't live in this public servant building!" So, seeing that your brother didn't get rich first, I'm quite safe. ”

Jiang Chaolin sighed: "You are safe, I am not at ease." I'm not afraid of a loss, but I won't do it! Secretary Hua Bo, what do you mean by Deputy Secretary Ma Wanli? After so many years, why do you always look at us Pingyang unpleasantly, ah? Listen to what he said today: The history of our reform has always been written by the strength of the people. This is very true, yesterday at the opening ceremony of the cross-sea bridge, I also said this, in the past ten years, without the support of the people of Binh Duong, without the struggle of the people of Binh Duong, there would be no Binh Duong today, I will say this everywhere I go. ”

Liu Huabo said: "Isn't this very good, it is not contradictory to Comrade Ma Wanli!" ”

Jiang Chaolin slammed the bowl on the table: "No, there is a big contradiction here!" What Ma Wanli means is that our Binh Duong Municipal Party Committee is nothing more than that. Then I have to ask: Why didn't Comrade Ma Wanli write down some history of reform in Changjiang City that people remember? Is it that the people of Changjiang are not good, or is he Ma Wanli incompetent? How can such a comrade become the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, but today he always points fingers at us? Is this fair! ”

Liu Huabo was silent for a long time before he said: "Changjiang has the situation in Changjiang, and Ma Wanli can't be blamed, besides, every comrade has strengths and weaknesses!" Comrade Ma Wanli lacked some courage in local work, but he still did his duty wholeheartedly in the leading post of the provincial party committee. ”

Jiang Chaolin smiled bitterly: "Hua Bo, now that I have gone down, we are talking again, can you put down the shelf of the provincial party secretary and talk to me from the heart?" I don't want to hear these principled official words! ”

Liu Huabo smiled: "Okay, okay, let's compromise, okay?" We will follow the principle, and we will not say official words. Communists, you can't do it if you don't pay attention to principles! ”

Jiang Chaolin shook his head: "I've convinced you!" ”

Liu Huabo patted Jiang Chaolin on the shoulder: "I obeyed you, you dare to compete with me like this in the province, I'm afraid you're the only one!" Well, you have capital, you are the hero of our party and the national hero! ”

Jiang Chaolin hurriedly said: "Hey, big chief, this is what you said, not me!" Moreover, I advise you to say less in the future, don't think that I am happy to hear this, to be honest, I am very unhappy! People who don't know the inside story think that you have lifted me to the sky, but I know best in my heart, you are an abstract affirmation, a concrete denial. ”

Liu Huabo was serious: "Chaolin, why do you think like this?" How can it be a concrete denial? ”

Jiang Chaolin said: "Then I'll tell it through!" Why can't Wen Chunming take over as secretary of the Binh Duong Municipal Party Committee? You know this comrade well, and it was when you were secretary of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee that you transferred Wen Chunming from the post of secretary of the Binhai County Party Committee to be the deputy mayor. After you were promoted, Chunming and I worked in a team, and in the past ten years, we have worked hard and done a lot, and we have made great contributions to the rise of Binh Duong. When I reported some time ago, I told you that Chunming went abroad again and again to inspect and carry grass seeds to China again and again, and even many customs ports knew that Binh Duong had such a good mayor, and they were all moved by him, why can't he move your provincial party committee? Now that the framework of Binh Duong as a modern metropolis has risen, the next important task is to beautify the city and move towards the level of an international metropolis. How is it to grasp the problem of a flat rolling mill? Governor Chen Honghe had been in charge of national ministries and commissions a few years ago, and the flat rolling mill project was approved by her, so why didn't she say a fair word? Just look at Ma Wanli and that Sun Yadong in our city talking around? I can carry out the instructions of the provincial party committee and do Wen Chunming's work, but I am really unconvinced, I think you, the big chief, and the provincial party committee are not very fair! ”

Liu Huabo pondered, and rarely smoked.

Jiang Chaolin took a sip of water and said, "So, I wondered, do some comrades regard Pingyang as my Jiang Chaolin's independent kingdom?" Do you want to make some article about Binh Duong, and then negate Binh Duong's reform and opening up in the past 20 years? I'm not unfounded and cranky, the rumors in the provincial capital are not small, it is said that the corruption problem in Binh Duong is very serious, and it is said that Deputy Secretary Ma Wanli has lost his temper. Isn't it, Hua Bo? ”

Liu Huabo extinguished the cigarette in his hand and asked, "Chaolin, are you finished?" ”

Jiang Chaolin nodded: "After speaking, let me make a statement, because I used to be an old comrade in the team, I will say whatever I have in my heart, but I will still resolutely implement the decisions of you and the provincial party committee, without discounting, to paraphrase the sentence of "**", that is: 'What you understand must be implemented, and what you don't understand for the time being must also be implemented'. ”

Liu Huabo said: "Okay, with this premise, we can talk about it." Let's talk about Wen Chunming. The provincial party committee has an evaluation of Wen Chunming, and I want to say responsibly that the problem of the flat rolling mill has not affected his appointment to a great extent. The provincial party committee's use of Gao Changhe on the basis of extensive solicitation of opinions was mainly due to the issue of cross-century succession. After all, Wen Chunming is fifty-five years old and can only work for one term; Gao Changhe is only 47 years old, and he will work for at least two terms, that is, he can work until 2008 of the next century. Binh Duong's development experience in the past 10 years has proved that a relatively stable leadership group is very beneficial to the sustainable development of a region. Let's talk about the issue of fighting corruption and advocating clean government. Comrade Chaolin, we must soberly understand that this is a major issue that has a bearing on the life and death of the party and the country. Some comrades say that if we do not fight corruption, we will destroy the country, and if we oppose corruption, we will destroy the party. I said at the work conference of the provincial party committee that only if we do not fight corruption will we destroy the party and the country. After the basic point is determined, I will ask, is there corruption in Binh Duong? I think there is, and it may be very serious in some places. I can reveal one thing here: Comrade Ma Wanli really has a reason to lose his temper! When dealing with the corrupt deputy mayor of Changjiang back then, Comrade Ma Wanli also lost his temper. ”

Jiang Chaolin was stunned, almost unable to believe what the old squad leader said.

Liu Huabo continued: "Therefore, Comrade Chaolin, as leaders, we cannot be so sensitive, and we cannot immediately think of people cutting down flags just because we want to investigate and deal with some corrupt elements in Binh Duong. The achievements of Binh Duong's reform in the past 20 years are there, this is not just a flag, it is a city with many high-rise buildings, and anyone who wants to cut it can't cut it! ”

Jiang Chaolin let out a long sigh and smoked a cigarette.

Liu Huabo said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Old man, you just said that I was unfair to the provincial party committee, in fact, I am not convinced, I think the provincial party committee is quite fair to you, I told you in the last conversation, I want to invite you to the provincial capital, recommend you to be the deputy director of the provincial people's congress." Think about it again, do you want to go to the provincial capital with me? ”

Jiang Chaolin refused: "Thank you, old squad leader!" As I said last time in the provincial capital, I never thought of treating revolutionary work as a business, nor did I ever think of asking the provincial party committee to reward me or any comrade for meritorious deeds. ”

Liu Huabo said with a smile: "Then don't blame me for being unfair to the provincial party committee." ”

Jiang Chaolin said: "If you want to say it, you can only say it in front of you, the old squad leader, and I still understand the organizational principles." ”

Liu Huabo thought for a while, and said: "There was also an accident in the handover arrangement of the team this time, I really didn't expect that the team was set here, the flood came down over there, and the situation of Gao Changhe was not familiar, old man, you still have to be responsible." ”

Jiang Chaolin nodded: "Don't worry, I won't watch such a good Pingyang City soak in the flood." Knowing that you big leaders are coming, I thought, if possible, please go to the Changjiang River to have a look. ”

Liu Huabo immediately said: "Okay, let's go and have a look, take some time to go to the coast, you can accompany me!" ”

When he walked out of this old public servant building, Liu Huabo thought to himself, what Jiang Chaolin said before entering the door was not bad at all, this bowl of noodles is really unpalatable, and I am afraid it will be difficult to digest!
