July 1, 1998 at 22 o'clock Jiang Chaolin's house

Jiang Chaolin accompanied the vice chairman to return home after watching the night scene, and found Liu Yiru sitting in the living room of his house, chatting with his wife, more or less surprised, so he asked: "Director Liu, it's so late, is there something to do with me?" ”

Liu Yiru stood up and said with a smile: "Old secretary, look at what you said, can't I come to see you if it's okay?" ”

This night, because of the vice chairman's high evaluation of Pingyang's work, Jiang Chaolin was in a good mood, so he also smiled and said: "Okay, good, Director Liu, you sit, sit!" ”

After Liu Yiru sat down, he got to the point: "Old secretary, I'm here to report to you, I still have to look for you for some remaining problems on the municipal party committee's side, and Secretary Gao Changhe also asked me to find you." It's a matter of dividing the room. Isn't Director Qin of the Second Secretary Department divorced? I remember that you verbally greeted me at that time, and asked for a two-bedroom apartment for Xiao Qin? ”

Jiang Chaolin nodded: "There is such a thing, after Xiao Qin's divorce, the house was given to the woman, and he took a six-year-old child to rent a house, the rent is so high, can he afford it?" Then he said, "Of course, now I don't care about the affairs of the municipal party committee, whether to give this house to Xiao Qin, you still have to listen to Comrade Changhe's opinion." ”

Liu Yiru said: "Comrade Changhe said that as long as it has been approved by you before, the municipal party committee will respect it. ”

Jiang Chaolin said: "Okay, when I see Changhe one day, I'll say hello to him." ”

After saying this trivial matter, Liu Yiru still had no intention of leaving.

Jiang Chaolin thought that Liu Yiru's talk about Xiao Qin's house was an excuse, and he was afraid that there was another purpose for visiting late at night.

Sure enough, after a few more words of gossip, Liu Yiru opened his mouth and asked Jiang Chaolin: "Old secretary, I heard that you have always opposed letting Tian Liye go to Lieshan to preside over the work?" Isn't it? ”

Jiang Chaolin was alert: "What, you also heard about it?" What have you heard? ”

Liu Yiru sighed: "It is said that this is all your leader's business, and I don't need to worry about it, but the old secretary, I am really panicked!" With you today, I would like to say something from the bottom of my heart, I think that Secretary Gao Changhe and the municipal party committee's arrangements for the Lieshan team are not appropriate. Not only is it inappropriate to let Tian Liye be the acting secretary of the county party committee, but it is also inappropriate to let Jinhua be the acting county magistrate. ”

Jiang Chaolin was surprised by these words. Jiang Chaolin believes that it is normal for Liu Yiru to oppose Tian Liye as the secretary of the county party committee, but it is not normal to oppose his daughter Jinhua as the acting county magistrate. He knows this office director too well, and this person has worked hard in order to manage his daughter's political future in recent years.

Liu Yiru also seemed to figure out Jiang Chaolin's thoughts, and said: "Old secretary, you said that even if Tian Liye is your son, no matter how much you want Tian Liye to be good, you don't dare to hand over the safety and misfortune of the 1.1 million people in Lieshan to him." I will obey you this and do not show favoritism for the sake of work. My thoughts are the same as yours: no matter how much I want Jinhua to be good, I don't dare to let her become the acting county magistrate of Lieshan County at this time! Geng Zijing's gang stabbed such a big Lou Zi in Lieshan, the situation is so complicated, the establishment is immature, Jinhua is still a child, and if he doesn't do it, he will be very passive. ”

Jiang Chaolin nodded: "Yes, this is what I am most worried about." ”

Liu Yiru became more and more sincere and sincere: "To be fair, Liye and Jinhua are both good in nature, and they both want to do things, but the problem is that it is one thing for them to want to do things, and it is another thing to be able to do a good job, and there is always a distance between subjective wishes and objective reality." ”

When these words came to Jiang Chaolin's heart, Jiang Chaolin relaxed his vigilance and said bluntly: "Director Liu, you are right, I think that the two children of Liye and Jinhua will really be ruined in the hands of Gao Changhe!" ”

Liu Yiru immediately said: "Old secretary, if it is just to destroy the two children, it will be fine, I am more worried that their carelessness will bring serious losses to the work of Lieshan, which is the most terrible." This is really going to happen, old secretary, you look at it, it's our responsibility again! ”

These words hit Jiang Chaolin's sore spot, and Jiang Chaolin immediately sank his face and said: "That's, who in Pingyang doesn't know the relationship between Tian Liye and me?" I think someone is deliberately playing a game of cards with me! ”

Liu Yiru didn't answer this sensitive remark, and said to herself: "Old secretary, you severely criticized me a few days ago, but frankly, old secretary, I don't accept you!" I have many shortcomings and faults, and I also have selfish motives, but one thing still stands: I am loyal to the cause of the party and the people, and I also admire those good leaders who are loyal to the cause of the party and the people. Old secretary, I dare to come to you today to say such a heartfelt remark, after a fierce ideological struggle. But I'm still here, not for anything else, just to say something from my heart to you, to express my heartfelt respect for you. Seriously, old secretary, I didn't really know you until I left you! ”

Jiang Chaolin was silent, thinking, and asking himself over and over again in his heart: What's going on? Could it be that his criticism of Liu Yiru was really wrong? How could this power-advocating office chief talk so much tonight to an old comrade who does not hold real power? What really happened to the center of power in Gao Changhe? Is there a problem with Lieshan, or is there a problem between Gao Changhe and Liu Yiru?

Liu Yiru continued, revealing a kind of sadness in her tone: "Old secretary, I really don't know if I'm old?" Is it that you can't keep up with the work ideas of the new leader? I don't know why, with Gao Changhe, I will always think of you, and I will always think about what you will do? I always don't understand the new leader's working ideas and working methods......"

Jiang Chaolin waved his hand: "Director Liu, don't think about it, there must be an adaptation process." ”

Liu Yiru said: "I always want to adapt, but I really can't adapt!" Let's just talk about Lieshan, if something so big happens, the new leader will be able to sit still......"

Jiang Chaolin was stunned, hurriedly interrupted Liu Yiru's words, and asked, "Lieshan has an accident again?" What's the matter? ”

Liu Yiru seemed a little surprised: "You don't know about Lieshan H Daming Company?" ”

Jiang Chaolin said angrily: "How can I know? Tian Liye never even called! ”

Liu Yiru told Jiang Chaolin what happened in Lieshan at this time, saying that Jinhua was young and naΓ―ve, panicked in the face of sudden events, and the situation was unknown, so he ran to report to Gao Changhe; Tian Liye was irresponsible, first climbed the gate of Daming Company, spit out ivory in public, and then went to drink with Mayor Hu Zaoqiu of Jinghu.

The more Liu Yiru spoke, the more excited she became: "...... Twenty-five workers had leukemia, and what a serious incident, the new leader was relieved to let these two young people deal with it, and he sat in the small red building and waited to listen to the report. Of course, he also said that no matter what time it is at night, he wants Jinhua to call him. I thought at the time, if it was you, the old secretary, I was afraid that I would have rushed to Lieshan a long time ago......"

Jiang Chaolin couldn't sit still, and waved his hand: "Director Liu, don't say it, I'll look for Gao Changhe now!" ”

Liu Yiru reminded: "Old secretary, you ...... Don't be too angry......"

Jiang Chaolin was furious: "I'm not angry!" I'll ask Gao Changhe: Isn't there blood and tears under the neon lights? Twenty-five workers in Lieshan have leukemia, is it called blood and tears? Why is he so insensitive in the face of the blood and tears of the workers! He doesn't look like a secretary of the municipal party committee! With that, he dialed the phone.

The phone was connected, Gao Changhe didn't know that Jiang Chaolin was angry, and still joked with a smile: "What? Old squad leader, check the post again? ”

Jiang Chaolin said coldly: "Secretary Gao, how dare I check your post?" It's to report to you and the municipal party committee, and it may disturb your good dreams, so let's say I'm sorry first. ”

Gao Changhe became serious at this time: "Old squad leader, if you have anything to say, I am not idle now, I just sent Xinhua News Agency reporter Comrade Li Xinxiang away, and I am waiting for Lieshan's call......"

Jiang Chaolin said angrily: "Waiting for the call? Secretary Gao Changhe, why don't you go to Lieshan yet? Are you bureaucratic or insensitive? It is said that Pingyang is a neon light with blood and tears, I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it! There are really blood and tears under the neon lights! The worker comrades of Lieshan Daming Company are bleeding and crying! ”

Gao Changhe was very angry in his heart, but he still tried his best to restrain his emotions: "Old squad leader, the emergency incident of Daming Company is being handled, the Lieshan County Party Committee and the county ** are still working normally, Tian Liye and Comrade Jinhua are now in the Lieshan County People's Hospital, if you don't believe it, you can call and ask Tian Liye!" ”

Jiang Chaolin finally said the words that had accumulated in his heart: "Secretary Gao Changhe, please mention Tian Liye less, I don't want to play the political card with you, and I don't have the heart to play this boring political card with you, I just want to remind you: As the main leader of the city, we are all responsible to the people!" ”

Gao Changhe: "Old squad leader, you are not the only one who is responsible for the people!" ”

Jiang Chaolin became even more angry: "But are you responsible?" Can the new team of Lieshan take on this responsibility?! ”

Gao Changhe couldn't hold back any longer, and blurted out: "So, old squad leader, you are responsible?" You are responsible, can Lieshan produce corrupt elements like Geng Zijing? Can these two teams of Lieshan be so completely rotten?! Frankly speaking, all the current problems in Lieshan are related to Geng Zijing! ”

Jiang Chaolin was knocked down all of a sudden, and the hand holding the microphone trembled, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Gao Changhe also seemed to realize his excesses, and sighed again and said, "Old squad leader, let's not be so rash, okay?" Something happened to Lieshan, you are in a hurry, I can understand, but you also have to understand and understand me! As you know, the incident of Lieshan Daming Company only happened today, and I always have to have an informed process. Just 10 minutes before you called, I learned the real situation from a Xinhua News Agency reporter and was preparing to go to Lieshan overnight. ”

Jiang Chaolin said sullenly: "Okay, you go, since you can go to Lieshan overnight, I have nothing to say." Deal with the problem first, as for what responsibility I, the former secretary of the municipal party committee, should bear for the corruption problem in Lieshan, your municipal party committee can discuss and report, and I will wait for the decision of the provincial party committee to deal with it! ”

Gao Changhe started to laugh again: "Old squad leader, look at you, what's the truth?" You call me bureaucracy, call me insensitive, and say that I play the political card with you, don't I have no seriousness with you? Quarrel and angry words, let's all blow away in a gust of wind, okay? No, I apologize to your old squad leader and bow to you on the phone. ”

Jiang Chaolin couldn't say anything more, so he put down the phone depressedly.

Liu Yiru saw that Jiang Chaolin was preoccupied, and his face was very ugly, so he took his leave carefully.

Jiang Chaolin didn't stay, and he didn't even greet Liu Yiru, until Liu Yiru walked to the door, and then said: "Director Liu, the corridor light is broken, be careful when you go downstairs." ”

After Liu Yiru left, Jiang Chaolin thought: Now it seems that he has to go to the provincial capital once. Gao Changhe was not just angry on the phone, the new secretary subconsciously believed that he should be responsible for the corruption in Lieshan, and that Pingyang was hiding blood and tears under the neon lights. Then, he has to ask Liu Huabo and the provincial party committee: What does this new secretary Gao Changhe want to do? Is it the meaning of the provincial party committee that he is doing this? If it is not the meaning of the provincial party committee, then Liu Huabo, as the secretary of the provincial party committee, must have a clear attitude!
