The cold winter has come again, and the white snow has decorated the vast and infinite land of northern Liaobei into a silver world.

Compared with the cold wind outside, the warm and solemn venue of the Fourth Session of the 10th People's Congress of Chuncheng City was extremely warm, and 289 representatives of the Municipal People's Congress from all walks of life in Chuncheng City gathered together.

Compared with the blandness of the previous Municipal People's Congress meeting, this year's Spring City People's Congress meeting was related to the election of the young acting mayor who brought great changes to the Spring City, and unconsciously attracted the attention of countless people.

Even the most picky person will probably extend his thumbs and be amazed as long as he sees the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in Spring City in the past year. What's more, after the overall economy of Chuncheng, which was originally dragged down by a large number of troubled state-owned enterprises in the whole city, has developed by leaps and bounds, countless residents of Chuncheng have benefited a lot from it.

Today's National People's Congress Chen Youwei has paid enough attention, although he does not have too many worries about this election in his heart, but thinking that after today's election, he will really enter the ranks of senior cadres of the party and the country, Rao is Chen Youwei has no matter how good his psychological quality is, he can't help but have a little excitement.

Generally speaking, the vice-provincial level is a very important level in China's current political system, and only by stepping into this threshold that countless people dream of, can any official's career be regarded as having the basic qualifications to climb the highest peak.

Under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible for an official to be promoted from an ordinary clerk to a deputy provincial leader without more than 20 years of hard work.

Even if some of the second and third generations of the Red with good political resources want to successfully reach such a level, the necessary organizational procedures will make them have to follow the established path step by step, and even then it does not mean that all of them can smoothly enter the echelon of deputy provincial cadres.

Chen Youwei is only 29 years old this year, and when he is not yet a year old, he is about to become the official mayor of Chuncheng, the sub-provincial capital city, and countless people are amazed by such proud achievements.

If it weren't for the changes that happened in Spring City that too many people personally experienced, Chen Youwei's too young age problem would inevitably become the biggest criticism that restricted him from ascending to the throne smoothly.

In less than a year, a huge and exciting breakthrough has been made in the reform of state-owned enterprises, which is the most troublesome problem in Chuncheng's economic development, and tens of thousands of laid-off and unemployed workers have returned to work. After the Chuncheng state-owned enterprises, which were originally like a pool of stagnant water, are gradually reborn, those workers who have been living increasingly difficult and their families have too many feelings and gratitude for the hard-won work and life now.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Youwei, who single-handedly led the reform of state-owned enterprises in Chuncheng, was quickly accepted by hundreds of thousands of grassroots workers in Chuncheng.

Chen Youwei, who has such a great ability to turn things around, not only has not become a place for people to criticize and question, but has become a symbol of vitality, momentum and vitality in the mouths of countless people in Spring City.

With outstanding results that cannot be questioned, coupled with the enthusiastic support of countless Spring City residents, Chen Youwei knows very well that this election is basically not a big problem for him, at least in terms of public opinion and public sentiment.

The only thing that worries Chen Youwei a little is that whether he can be elected with a high number of votes in the election is an issue that has to be considered.

Xia Wang, secretary of the municipal party committee, will officially retire from the position of the number one leader in Chuncheng after the New Year, there is no such an old man who has strong support for himself, Chen Youwei knows very well that the future Chuncheng will enter a period of right and wrong in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Xia Wang's control over Spring City is still very strong, and the strength of the Dong family in northern Liaobei is beyond doubt.

However, the Nanjia, who has had a lot of friction with Chen Youwei, has obviously made frequent moves in the past two years, and the Nanjia has continued to expand its influence in Chuncheng and even northern Liaoning.

Under such circumstances, in the face of more than 200 deputies to the Municipal People's Congress from all walks of life in the city, Chen Youwei was somewhat apprehensive.

There is no doubt that he was elected, Xia Wang did not retreat for a day, and those who dared to directly disobey him in the huge Spring City had no place to play.

However, if Chen Youwei is really elected mayor of Chuncheng with an embarrassing low vote, the possible political consequences of losing face are also unimaginable.

In the face of such a situation, Chen Youwei was also helpless, and most of his energy when he came to Spring City was restrained by the problem of state-owned enterprises finding a way out. And Spring City is the most influential central city in Northeast China with five districts, one city and four counties, and there are too many places to pay attention to.

If he is really criticized because of mistakes in some aspects, Chen Youwei can only suffer such a dumb loss.

At nine o'clock in the morning, amid the sound of passionate music, Chen Youwei followed behind Xia Wang, secretary of the municipal party committee, and walked steadily onto the rostrum.

With a calm expression, he looked at the black and oppressive figure in the audience, and sat down to listen to the supporters of the meeting announcing the official start of the meeting, Chen Youwei gently exhaled a long turbid breath, his eyes were clear and bright, and he knew that the moment to decide his fate had officially arrived.

The old house of the Chen family in Beijing

The old man with excellent complexion basked in the courtyard as always, basking in the rare warm sunshine in winter, steadily lifting the curtain in the living room, soaking in a cup of rich and pungent top-notch hair, sitting on the Taishi chair in the living room, staring at the clock on the opposite wall with the hour hand slowly moving forward.

On the luxurious Persian carpet specially laid out in front of the Taishi's chair, Qiuqiu and Diandian were playing with each other, and they didn't care what the old lady with the long beard in front of them was thinking.

In an office building somewhere in Zhongguancun in the capital, Xiao Yue sat in a quiet office and sat silently after holding a routine morning meeting. It's just that her subconscious gaze always glances at the family photo in front of her, and the arc of the corners of her mouth exposes a tenderness and sweetness under her cold appearance.

In the office of the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Hangcheng, Jiangnan Province, Chen Bonian pushed away all the work arrangements in the morning, and sat quietly on the sofa with an elusive profundity under his calm expression.

In a secluded office somewhere in Haizhou, a shrewd man in his early forties looked thoughtfully out the window, and the pencil in his hand that turned from time to time fully showed that the restlessness in this person's heart was far from being as calm as it seemed.

In the warm hall of the People's Congress in Chuncheng, Chen Youwei, as the acting mayor, stood for the first time in front of more than 280 deputies from all walks of life in Chuncheng to summarize the work of the past year.

Different from the government work report made by the mayor under normal circumstances, the work summary made by Chen Youwei, the acting mayor, at the moment is more like a report on the results of governance.

Although most of the contents are well known to all of you, from the perspective of Chen Youwei, who is a representative of many people who have only heard of him but not seen him, hearing these inspiring contents from the mouth of this person who has single-handedly created the miracle of the exciting Spring City is much more attractive than hearsay from outsiders.

“…… Delegates, in the past year, the economic situation in Chuncheng has been generally stable, and all the established tasks have been completed in a stable and orderly manner, and the economic growth rate of 18 percent has been in the forefront of the province. The restructuring of a large number of state-owned enterprises has been smoothly promoted, and it is a foregone conclusion that the economic growth rate of cities will exceed 20 percent in the spring of next year! ”

Chen Youwei's calm and powerful voice floated in the empty and quiet venue, and the work summary supported by a large number of detailed and reliable data attracted great attention from the participants, and the huge venue resounded with warm applause from time to time.

Xia Wang's eyes stared at the young acting mayor who was standing on the podium and talking eloquently, and swept over the faces on and off the stage that were either happy or excited, or calm and indifferent, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Thinking that he would retire from his current position after the New Year, if Xia Wang said in his heart that he didn't have a little idea, it would definitely be impossible.

It's just that he clearly knows that the fact that his historical mission in Spring City is coming to an end cannot be changed, and Xia Wang, who has already made up his mind, is not as depressed and paranoid as outsiders speculate.

Seeing a spring city that has returned to its former prosperity and is thriving day by day, Xia Wang is actually very grateful in his heart for everything the young man in front of him has done.

However, Xia Wang also understands that after he retires, the young man's life may definitely not be as good as it is now, without him, a towering tree that can shelter from the wind and rain, the youngest mayor in the history of Spring City still needs to put in too much effort and exercise if he wants to really leave his real mark in this city.

After Chen Youwei's work summary was completed, the Fourth Session of the 10th Chuncheng People's Congress, which had been held for several days, entered the agenda that attracted the most attention and expectation.

Sitting silently on the rostrum, watching hundreds of people's congress deputies from all over Spring City walk to the ballot box under the rostrum to vote, Chen Youwei's expression was calm.

Everything that needs to be done is done, and the rest is far beyond his control.

“…… There should be 295 people at this meeting, but the actual number of voters was 289, and the number of voters was in accordance with the legal provisions. ”

The host of the conference took the statistics and read in a deep voice: "Comrade Chen Youwei received a total of 285 votes and four abstentions, congratulations to Comrade Chen Youwei for officially becoming the mayor of the Chuncheng City People's Government!" ”

Bursting with applause over the venue, Chen Youwei stood up from his seat and came to the rostrum to bow and thank the delegates at the scene.

With Chen Youwei's polite thanks, the atmosphere of the scene fell into an increasingly hot enthusiasm.

In the old house of the Chen family in the capital, Chen Wuxian put down the phone in his hand, and looked at the two little guys who were still playing and playing under his knees, and couldn't help but smile happily: "Little things, you Lao Tzu has made progress again!" Congratulations to you with a meal at noon! ”

Xiao Yue from Zhongguancun in the capital city flashed with joy when she received the news, and continued to devote herself to intense work.

Chen Bai of Hangcheng took a long breath, looked up to the sky and roared, the faint worry on his face disappeared, and he shook his head with a chuckle: "This kid is about to catch up with my uncle!" ”

The shrewd man in Haizhou hung up the phone silently, his expression was cold, and the gloomy atmosphere made the whole room depressing.

Rivals for life?

The real battle between us is only now in earnest, right?

The shrewd man's eyes were resolute, and he, who had never been very interested in the young man, finally showed a cautious expression for the first time.
