In the office building of the municipal party committee across the road from the Tongchun City Government compound, Xia Wang sat with Guan Peng, deputy secretary of the Chuncheng City Party Committee, in his office, swallowing clouds and spitting fog and chatting affectionately.

Guan Peng was in his early fifties, and when the city was making personnel adjustments because of the Dongfang Iron and Steel Plant nest case in the spring of last year, Xia Wang specially asked him from the provincial party committee. In the eyes of ordinary people, the calm and low-key Guan Peng's appointment as deputy secretary of the Chuncheng Municipal Party Committee is likely to be the successor personally selected by Xia Wang.

It's just that Chen Youwei, a young man, parachuted in from the capital to serve as the acting mayor of Spring City, in the eyes of many people, this is definitely breaking Xia Wang's previous wishful thinking. With a young mayor who is said to be very good at economic development, once Xia Wang retires, it may not be so easy for Guan Peng to take the position smoothly.

Of course, Chen Youwei's too young age will not pose a threat to himself at all in Guan Peng's own opinion.

It's just that things in officialdom are unpredictable, and who can really know the truth until the final result?

Chen Youwei knows the background behind Xia Wang, but Guan Peng, Chen Youwei, really knows very little, only that Lu Dao came to Spring City from the position of deputy secretary general of the provincial party committee.

According to common sense, it is not very difficult for the deputy secretary general of the provincial party committee to go down to the local level to find such a position as the secretary of the prefectural party committee. This person is willing to be a third-in-command in a provincial capital city like Spring City, and I have to say that there are great political ambitions and ambitions hidden behind this kind of behavior.

On the surface, if you can successfully ascend to the position and become the number one municipal party secretary in a sub-provincial city like Chuncheng, you can directly succeed and become a provincial party committee boss like a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Such a process of ascension seems to be much simpler than the path of ascension from the locality, but it is significantly more difficult.

At least in Chen Youwei's opinion, even if he himself does not have the slightest idea and possibility of the throne of the secretary of the municipal party committee in the short term, but looking at the whole province of northern Liaoning and even the whole country, I don't know how many covetous eyes are staring at it.

If you want to succeed in ascending to the top, it is far from enough to have Xia Wang's support!

The spacious and bright office was filled with smoke, and Xia Wang's conversation with Guan Peng also came to an end.

"Old manager, the current problem in Chuncheng is to solve the problem of a large number of state-owned enterprises as soon as possible, although you are in charge of the party and the masses cadres, but you should also pay attention to the work in this regard."

Xia Wang took a small sip of his cigarette and frowned lightly: "Although Mayor Xiao Chen is very good at economic work, the problem in Spring City is not ordinarily serious, and there are some things that we can't completely hope for him personally. ”

Guan Peng, who has a thin face and thick sword eyebrows, has a good complexion, and just from the surface, he is much younger than his actual age.

"Secretary Xia, it's been a few days since Mayor Chen took office, why haven't you seen any movement from him?"

Guan Peng was very respectful in front of Xia Wang, who was almost ten years older than him, and even if he had some questions in his heart, he asked cautiously.

Xia Wang snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and smiled lightly: "Don't say it, this Mayor Xiao Chen really surprised me, what I was most afraid of was that he was blindly messing around like Li Shouliang, and now it seems that our young mayor is really interesting!" ”

Guan Peng's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he asked puzzledly: "The problems in Spring City need to be solved as soon as possible after the accumulation of time, Mayor Chen has not come up with a plan for so long, is this a little too calm?" ”

Waving his hand at Guan Peng, Xia Wang shook his head and said with a clear gaze: "It is precisely because the problem of state-owned enterprises in Spring City has become a big problem, so it is necessary to stabilize the position and find the location of the disease first is the most urgent thing." Mayor Xiao Chen has done a good job in this regard, he has already reported to me, and Chuncheng FAW is his first step to solve the problem of Chuncheng! ”

"FAW?"

Guan Peng sighed softly: "I'm afraid this first step is not easy to take, FAW is a leading enterprise among the state-owned enterprises in Chuncheng, although the current business situation is still said in the past, but once there is a problem under the reform, I am afraid that the overall impact on Chuncheng will be great." ”

Xia Wang picked up the cigarette case from the coffee table and took out the cigarette and lit it, shook his head with a deep gaze and said, "If it was before, maybe I thought the same as you, but after talking to Mayor Xiao Chen, I was persuaded by him." If the problem of FAW is not solved, other enterprises in Chuncheng want to solve it smoothly, and once FAW, as a leading enterprise, succeeds in reform, it will greatly drive the rapid development of the entire upstream and downstream enterprises. It also has a strong exemplary role in the reform of state-owned enterprises in other industries. ”

"More importantly......"

Xia Wang quietly stared at Guan Peng's flickering eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Mayor Xiao Chen has given me a military order, and he is confident that the reorganized FAW will have a reborn change within one year, let FAW return to the first place in the truck market within three years, and make FAW the leader of the domestic car industry within five years!" ”

The cigarette butt that Guan Peng held in his hand fell to the ground with a shake, and his eyes widened in disbelief: "This is impossible!" ”

Xia Wang sighed softly: "My first reaction at that time was the same, I am also an old man who came out of FAW, and on the surface, the current situation of FAW is not bad." However, there are too many problems in his bones, and it is not difficult to complete the goal that Mayor Xiao Chen said. ”

"Secretary Xia means that you have some confidence in Mayor Chen's goal?" Guan Peng was extremely surprised in his heart.

"Mayor Xiao Chen has already reported to me on the draft of FAW's reorganization, and judging from the draft situation, they are still considering a more comprehensive and larger action. If the reorganization of FAW can really be carried out in accordance with the above steps as scheduled, the future of FAW is really promising. Xia Wang got up and walked slowly to the bright window, overlooking the green streetscape.

Guan Peng was silent, his eyes were flowing in contemplation, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking.

"Huh? What's going on? Xia Wang's eyelids trembled in contemplation, and he could see clearly, and the crowd of black and oppressive people in the distance was noisily gathering in the direction of the city government gate.

Guan Peng, who heard the sound, stood beside Xia Wang, and said with a stunned expression: "Secretary Xia, someone is making trouble, do you want to notify the Public Security Bureau quickly?" ”

A trace of anger flashed in Xia Wang's eyes, there had never been such a big mess under his rule, so many people who looked like factory workers had gathered in front of him, to say that there was no one behind him to organize it would simply pollute his IQ.

Seeing that someone from the city government office building would soon come out to persuade the crowd, Xia Wang squinted his eyes slightly, shook his head lightly and said, "Don't worry, maybe this is a great opportunity to test the mayor Xiao Chen opposite." ”

Guan Peng's fair cheeks were crimson, and he didn't know if he was stimulated by the scene in front of him or for some other reason, standing behind Xia Wang, he was obviously much more excited than before.

The dense crowd was noisy, and now many people were not out of control, and the order was maintained quite well.

"Mayor Chen is out,......," Guan Peng said softly in a somewhat sharp voice.

Xia Wang bowed slightly, glanced at the person next to him who was very important, and sighed secretly.

As the veteran secretary of the municipal party committee, Xia Wang is completely aware of the current situation of Chuncheng, and he is also very clear about the thoughts of many people, including Guan Peng. Xia Wang didn't have much blame for these people's eagerness to advance to the top, but what made him a little dissatisfied was that some people were a little unscrupulous in order to get to the top.

The chaos that happened in front of him, Xia Wang didn't have the heart to think about who the mastermind behind the scenes was, from the attitude of Guan Peng, who was his most important, it was obvious that Chen Youwei was laughing at the other side of the road, Xia Wang knew that he was about to retreat, and he had begun to be powerless about many things in Spring City.

Seeing the tall and extraordinary young man walk out of the office building and appear in front of the noisy crowd, Xia Wang unconsciously felt worried about the young mayor.

To Xia Wang's and Guan Peng's surprise, Chen Youwei's appearance quickly changed the chaotic situation on the scene, and even after a righteous and awe-inspiring questioning, the crowd was silent, and many people obviously lost their initial anxiety and arrogance.

The order of the scene has been greatly improved, which makes Xia Wang breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, looking at the tall figure from afar, Xia Wang's heart has an indescribable heartiness.

Just when the crowd at the scene was about to start to disperse after Chen Youwei's careful persuasion.

A shrill siren sounded in the distance.

"The police are coming to arrest someone! What they just said is a lie! Someone shouted loudly, and the crowd suddenly fell into a panic.

Xia Wang, who was far away from the municipal party committee office building, scolded angrily, but Chen Youwei, who was standing directly opposite the crowd, turned even more ugly.

Some people seem to be really anxious to find death!

Chen Youwei's sharp eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Chen Youwei held a loudspeaker and shouted at the somewhat out-of-control scene: "Brothers workers, don't mess up, this police car is here to maintain order normally, not to arrest people!" ”

At a glance, when he saw a sneaky man not far from the front of the crowd and wanted to incite loudly, Chen Youwei was still polite, squeezed over with great strides, grabbed the person's pulse and threw it into the hall on the first floor of the office building, and yelled at Zhao Xiaowen: "Look at this person!" ”

No one made any noise, and the order of the scene soon quieted down, and with Chen Youwei's previous efforts and persuasion, coupled with the workers' innate awe of the police and other public powers, the chaotic crowd began to disperse gradually.

Seeing that an uncontrollable mess was so easily resolved, Xia Wang shook his head lightly, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, shaking his head and saying, "It seems that some people are really crazy!" ”

A look of disappointment flashed in Guan Peng's eyes, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "Fortunately, Mayor Chen made a quick decision, I'm afraid these people are going to be disappointed!" ”

"Disappointed?"

Xia Wang returned to the office and sat down on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with his back to the sky, staring at the ceiling with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that what awaits them is definitely not just disappointment!" ”

Guan Peng's heart was excited, and he subconsciously looked at Xia Wang, who was expressionless.

"Mayor Chen is not very old, but he is not the kind of straw bag that comes down to gild and has an empty belly!"

Unconsciously changed the title of Chen Youwei, Xia Wang sighed faintly: "The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has the most good backbone, these people would target him so unstandardly, isn't this looking for death?" ”

Quietly staring at Guan Peng, who was slightly flustered, Xia Wang said word by word: "Old Guan, no matter what you think in your heart, everything that is aimed at Chen Youwei will be thrown away for me." Otherwise, something really happened, don't say that I can't help you, I'm afraid that even if Dong Lao is alive, you will definitely be in trouble! ”

Guan Peng's heart was shocked, and he stared at Xia Wang in disbelief, unable to speak for a long time.
