Chapter 653: The Heart Desires
The Red Lantern Restaurant is not amazing in the tens of thousands of restaurants in the huge Spring City, and only those real old people know that this is the highest level of local specialty catering in the city of Spring City.
Chuncheng is the original royal city of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history, and compared to those in Guannai, most of which have been integrated with the Han food culture, the Manchu food here in Chuncheng has relatively maintained more historical precipitation.
The owner of the Red Lantern Restaurant is said to have been the imperial chef for the puppet emperor of Manchukuo for several years, and it is insignificant to outsiders, but since the Red Lantern Restaurant re-emerged in the 80s, it is a busy business.
Compared with many newly built high-end hotels, the Red Lantern Restaurant, although far from being comparable in scale, is sought after by countless people because of its authentic Manchu cuisine.
Zhao Yuanping, who has been anxious for a while, walked into one of the few VIP rooms of the Red Lantern Restaurant, anxiously waiting for the call of the young high-ranking official, and he was in a very complicated mood after several days without results.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, his current executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee is already something to look up to, and he knows his own family affairs most clearly. If there is no promotion from above, he will probably be kicked out of the position he has been in for six years now, and if that is the case, it is basically a declaration that his political life is acceptable.
At the age of 55 or 6, for leaders at the county and city levels, it may basically mean that there are not many opportunities to continue to shine.
As far as provincial-level cadres are concerned, once they really enter the ranks of the provincial and ministerial ranks, the reality of postponing retirement for a few years is a great temptation for anyone who is unwilling to easily withdraw from officialdom.
Even if Zhao Yuanping knew in his heart that it would be a good result to be able to retire at the deputy provincial level in his current situation, he naturally had too much unwillingness compared to retiring from his post now.
Sitting in a private room with a small area, Zhao Yuanping's heart was surging, and the meaning behind being able to receive the invitation of the trustworthy young high-ranking official at this moment was self-evident.
As Zhao Yuanping said to his brother-in-law Wang Minghua that day, the more officials like him are now at a certain level in the power center of Liaobei Province, the more they want to climb up, the rarer the opportunity becomes.
Although the young secretary of the Chuncheng Municipal Party Committee is a member of the Standing Committee of the Liaobei Provincial Party Committee, there is no problem at all in promoting the favor of a department-level cadre like Wang Minghua. However, if he reaches a key position like Zhao Yuanping, especially the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, generally speaking, he really does not have much room to operate this matter.
This is also the fundamental reason why Zhao Yuanping basically threw himself completely into that young man, but basically did not move his nest, and did not have too many resentments and thoughts in his heart.
It's just one time and another.
Perhaps just a year ago, Chen Youwei, the young secretary of the Chuncheng Municipal Party Committee, was still unstable in such a game stage as the Liaobei Provincial Party Committee, and as the Chuncheng became more and more prosperous, the young municipal party secretary gradually had more voices in Liaobei Province.
Now that there is a very coveted vice-provincial position vacant, if Zhao Yuanping is still as indifferent as in the past at this time, I am afraid that even if no one kicks him out, with his current mentality, it is not suitable to continue to fight in the officialdom.
The door was gently pushed open, Chen Youwei's tall figure appeared in front of him, and Zhao Yuanping, who was in a reverie, was in high spirits, and got up with a smile to greet him: "Such a big snow, Secretary Chen has worked hard!" ”
"Lao Zhao seems to have been here for a while?"
Chen Youwei raised his wrist to look at the time, and smiled again and again: "I'm really sorry to be five minutes late!" ”
Zhao Yuanping smiled disapprerovingly: "Who would have thought that this year's snow would come so late, and it will continue to fall!" ”
"That's right, the sanitation workers in Spring City have worked hard, and it is easy to clear the snow, and it will soon be a thick layer under the heavy snow!" Under the courtesy of the other party, Chen Youwei was not polite, and sat on the front seat with a big sword and smiled.
Zhao Yuanping waved his hand to let the waiter in, ordered a hot pot and two special side dishes, and the heated room suddenly wafted with bursts of gluttonous aroma.
"Replace this wine with a 65-degree Spring City Daqu, and it will be more energetic to drink in such weather!" Chen Youwei said to Zhao Yuanping on his own.
Zhao Yuanping, who drank an average amount of alcohol, was a little dumbfounded, but when the young high-ranking official in front of him was in a good mood, he naturally would not object to the scenery.
"I know Lao Zhao, you are half a catty of alcohol, how about we drink a bottle without drinking too much?" Chen Youwei smiled very understandingly, and Zhao Yuanping had no reason to object.
There is only a drink sitting opposite each other, without the red tape of the official banquet on weekdays, Chen Youwei and the two of them drink and eat food in small sips, but they have a relaxing and comfortable feeling.
"Lao Zhao used to come to the Provincial Organization Department from the post of mayor of Pingyuan City?"
After three rounds of drinking, Chen Youwei seemed to have inadvertently greeted Zhao Yuanping.
Zhao Yuanping, who always had something in his heart, was full of excitement, and such an obvious way of talking was as fluttering as the sound of heaven for him, an old political worker.
"What Secretary Chen said is that I have worked and lived in Pingyuan City for more than ten years, and I have been the mayor of Pingyuan City for more than two years."
Under this circumstance, Zhao Yuanping knew that he had nothing to say, and tried to calm down his mood and said slowly: "Don't hide it from Secretary Chen, at that time, because of some differences between the same leaders on some development concepts, although some of my original intentions were partially realized after some efforts, it was still far from the blueprint in my real heart. It happened that there was a vacancy in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee at that time, and I came to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee through the coordination of the old leaders. ”
"Oh, I know, your old leader is Jia Xiangping, the former deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and it is not surprising that you can be in your current position with such a Bole appreciation!"
Chen Youwei smiled peacefully and nodded, and his relaxed tone made Zhao Yuanping's heart feel relieved.
"Tell me, what was the main disagreement between you in Plains City?" Chen Youwei asked in a good time.
In retrospect, those arguments were completely unnecessary. However, in that kind of environment at that time, I had the intention to open up some restrictions on foreign investment, but the conservative leader was this dare not move and that could not move, which made people at a loss! Zhao Yuanping shook his head slightly and sighed.
"In the special environment of those two years, it is actually normal to have such a conservative view, and later, I feel that the pace of development of Pingyuan City in the past few years is quite over!" Chen Youwei asked curiously.
"It's also my bad luck, I just transferred to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee less than two months ago, and the new policy above came." Zhao Yuanping sighed with pity: "If I had known that this was the case, I would have been patient for a few more days, otherwise the progress of Pingyuan City would not be as slow as it is now!" ”
"I guess your former partner has long been out of news, right?"
Chen Youwei can imagine that it is a strange thing that such an overly conservative leader can still persist under the general trend.
"Well, I've been gone for less than half a year, and he has also been adjusted, and now he has long since retired and is holding his grandson at home!" Zhao Yuanping chuckled twice, raised the wine cup, and gently touched it with Chen Youwei.
Chen Youwei took a drink from the wine cup and sighed: "Under the general trend, anything that goes against the trend can only be a result of ashes!" From this point of view, although you Lao Zhao can't fully show his inner talent, he can't be too regretful. After all, you don't know how many others you have to envy in your current position? ”
"What Secretary Chen said is that I know my own affairs, looking at the ups and downs in northern Liaoning in recent years, I can't say anything if I am not satisfied with my current situation!"
Zhao Yuanping took out a cigarette and handed it over, lit one himself, and sighed with a slight squint in his eyes: "Of course, it would be great to be able to achieve the ideals and goals that could not be achieved in the past!" ”
Seeing the other party staring at him with burning eyes, Chen Youwei smiled.
Everyone is a smart person, and if some words are concealed, it will not be interesting.
"Don't hide it from you, Lao Zhao, Jiang Bicheng is basically a foregone conclusion that he will become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and executive vice governor, and there are many people fighting for his vacated position!"
Chen Youwei spit out green smoke in small sips, and said lightly: "Judging from your Lao Zhao's qualifications, this vice provincial level is not too difficult, especially since you used to be the mayor of Pingyuan City, and this vice governor in charge of industry is almost tailor-made for you!" ”
Even if there was more room for imagination before, at this moment, hearing the personal confirmation of the most talkative young high-ranking official in Liaobei in front of him, Zhao Yuanping's cheeks were flushed, and he trembled uncontrollably.
"The economic work of northern Liaoning is now in a very important transition period, which Chuncheng is in the front, and through the experience of Chuncheng, it can be seen that there are many aspects that need to be paid attention to in this special stage of the transition period. Especially as a heavy industry province like Liaobei, whether the reform of tens of thousands of state-owned enterprises can be carried out in depth requires a strong person to fully control it! ”
Chen Youwei said in a solemn tone: "From this point of view, even if a cadre who does not understand the economy has a heart, such a key post must not be arranged casually!" ”
The excited expression on Zhao Yuanping's face gradually put away, and said solemnly: "I understand, I will definitely work hard in my new position and make achievements as soon as possible!" ”
"Effort is what it should be, and it won't be needed soon!"
Chen Youwei said meaningfully: "Some things still have to be done step by step, and things are changing at any time, Lao Zhao, in addition to adapting to the new job faster, the importance of the overall situation is also to pay attention to it!" ”
Zhao Yuanping's eyes narrowed slightly, and the other party's last sentence seemed to contain deep meaning, which made him thoughtful, as if he understood something but was confused.
Chen Youwei smiled secretly.
Some things can really only be said to be a matter of heaven, a good thing like a car for two sons is extremely satisfying, if you can do the other party's car and get two chess pieces with good strength for nothing, wouldn't that kind of good thing be even more enjoyable?!
