The meeting of party and government cadres in Pingyang City was held in the People's Hall at No. 3 Beijing Road. It's nothing to be swept down by the wind and rain, but the annoying thing is the thunder. The thunder that exploded from time to time suppressed the speeches of Liu Huabo, secretary of the provincial party committee, and Gao Changhe, the new secretary of the municipal party committee, again and again, and made Liu Yiru, director of the office of the municipal party committee, restless for a while. Liu Yiru ran to the mixing room on the side of the rostrum again and again, and asked the staff, can you turn up the volume more, and make it bigger? The staff shook their heads, saying that it was thundering outside, and the effect was not good no matter how they adjusted. Liu Yiru decided that she had done her duty, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down to listen to the meeting.

On the rostrum, Jiang Chaolin was smiling, I don't know if it was because of the high evaluation made by Liu Huabo, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, or to play the role of a political strongman to the end, anyway, he was smiling, and from time to time he turned his head to say something to Mayor Wen Chunming. Wen Chunming's face was tense, and there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth that was imperceptible to ordinary people - who was the mayor who had a high demand for succession was ridiculing? Is it ridiculing Gao Changhe, the new secretary of the municipal party committee, who is speaking, or is it ridiculing the provincial party committee? Isn't there something meaningful behind the high evaluation of the provincial party committee? If not, why didn't Jiang Chaolin's close comrade-in-arms Wen Chunming go up and let that Gao Changhe go up? In this way, Liu Huabo, secretary of the provincial party committee, is not Jiang Chaolin's backstage as privately rumored, right?

Liu Huabo is much older, Liu Yiru remembers how high-spirited Liu Huabo used to be when he was the secretary of the municipal party committee in Binh Duong, and he would whistle a few times in the office corridor from time to time, and now sitting on the rostrum, he is already an old bureaucrat. You can see the majesty of power from his face, and you can see the mature style of a politician, but you can't see much of the vigor of the past. At that time, there were so many people, the newspaper openly said that township enterprises are the source of unhealthy trends in society, Liu Huabo slapped the table at the work meeting of the municipal party committee, and dared to say: Township enterprises are township enterprises, and they should be invited to give gifts and photos, and I am responsible for any problems. In order to engage in coal, the secretary of the municipal party committee organized a group of leaders of township enterprises to go to Shanxi three times, and let the township enterprises in the city rush forward at full speed when energy was at its most tense.

It is rumored that Deputy Secretary Ma Wanli and Secretary Liu Huabo are at odds, but at this moment, they can't see any discord between the two. The two leaders of the provincial party committee exchanged ears. What are they talking about? Deputy Secretary Ma Wanli, who had a rare smile, actually smiled! Is it for the taming of Jiang Chaolin, an old comrade, or for the posture of the new secretary Gao Changhe?

Gao Changhe's posture is good, and he is talking about learning from the veteran comrades with an open mind, learning from the cadres and masses in Binh Duong, and becoming a student first, and then the secretary of the municipal party committee. But this Gao Changhe "classmate" who is good at learning is really not simple, at the age of forty-seven he became the leader of a big economic city like Pingyang, is this the blessing of his father-in-law Liang Qingping, or is it really a level? Oh, no, Gao Changhe's cup seems to be out of water, and the waiter didn't think to pour water in the past!

Liu Yiru stopped thinking nonsense, walked over with a water bottle in a series of explosions and thunder, filled Gao Changhe's cup with water, and then quietly placed it in front of Gao Changhe, her movements were as light as wind and mist, almost not letting Gao Changhe notice her existence.

As the director of the office of the municipal party committee, you should show your omnipresence and omnipresence in non-existence.

Gao Changhe took a sip of water and spoke again: "...... Comrades, you have a process of understanding me, and I also have a process of understanding you. You can see if I am sincerely doing practical things and doing great things for the people of Binh Duong. As for me, of course, I also want to see you and see if you are willing to work hard with me and the new Pingyang Municipal Party Committee team to fight for the fundamental interests of the 9 million people of Binh Duong......"

What does this mean? What does the new secretary Gao Changhe want to see? Is it really fighting for the interests of the nine million people of Binh Duong, or is it something else? What he meant by his words was to call on all the cadres in Binh Duong to take refuge under his banner? Why is Jiang Chaolin still laughing? She Liu Yiru heard the deep meaning of these words, could Jiang Chaolin not hear it? Will the political strongman who is so important in Binh Duong tolerate such a blatant challenge?

As a rule of thumb, a sensitive, complex and painful transition of power has begun. As the director of the office of the municipal party committee, she will face a dilemma: on the one hand, the old municipal party committee represented by Jiang Chaolin, and on the other hand, the new municipal party committee represented by Gao Changhe. She is still the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office - at least until now, she is still the new Municipal Party Committee that theoretically belongs to Gao Changhe, but how dare she ignore Jiang Chaolin, an old comrade? After all, Jiang Chaolin has been operating in Pingyang for ten years, and the six counties, cities, and various ministries, commissions, and bureaus are all Jiang Chaolin's people, and she must have a clear understanding of Jiang Chaolin's forces, so that she can advance and retreat with evidence......

At this time, Gao Changhe's speech had come to an end: "...... Comrades, a brand-new century is just around the corner, and I would like to ask you to think about what kind of attitude we should take to greet the arrival of the new century. What more can we do in the more than a year from today to the end of 2000? I believe that the brilliance created by the nine million people of Pingyang, led by Liang Qingping, Liu Huabo, and Jiang Chaolin, the three brave secretaries of the municipal party committee, should be the starting point for us to step into the new century, not the end! Comrades, let us, under the guidance of Comrade Xiaoping's glorious theory on building socialism with Chinese characteristics, hold high the banner of the 15 th CPC National Congress and advance toward the new century! ”

The meeting of party and government cadres ended with warm applause.

Liu Huabo, Ma Wanli, Jiang Chaolin, Gao Changhe, and other leading comrades got up one after another and prepared to leave the rostrum.

Liu Yiru followed Gao Changhe at Taikou and handed him a list of those who did not attend the meeting in a timely manner, and pointed out in particular: Tian Liye, deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee, was absent without reason, and Wang Shaobo, secretary of the Binhai city party committee, was temporarily absent by Jiang Kunhua, mayor of Binhai City, because he was in charge of flood control.

Liu Yiru said very casually, Gao Changhe listened very casually, and he didn't even stop his footsteps, and before Liu Yiru finished speaking, he had already chased Liu Huabo, secretary of the provincial party committee, and Ma Wanli to talk about the flood control of the Changjiang River.

This made Liu Yiru realize his mistake in frustration. When such high-ranking officials gather, how can they get together and talk to the new secretary about work? As soon as the meeting dispersed, the new secretary became the master of Pingyang, and it was the top priority of the new secretary to take a good picture of the leaders of the provincial party committee. This is really a clever life, and I was confused for a while! Besides, what will Jiang Chaolin think? Do you think you're going to change your court?

So, he looked around for the figure of the old secretary Jiang Chaolin in the moving crowd......
