Like the vast majority of people, Li Shouliang has worked in a down-to-earth manner from the grassroots level step by step to the current leading position at the sub-provincial level in the capital city of Chuncheng Province, and Li Shouliang has paid too much hardship for it.

Li Shouliang, who grew up in an ordinary family, would never have imagined that his life would be so wonderful and different, at least at the beginning of his participation in revolutionary work.

At that time, he was just an ordinary worker, and he performed well and gradually rose to a leadership position.

From the original director of the factory workshop to the factory director, from the person in charge of a state-owned enterprise to the leading cadre of Chuncheng District and County, in just over 20 years, he has grown from a white body to a vice-provincial cadre who people look up to.

If we say that in the process of going from an inconspicuous section-level cadre to a department-level cadre with some weight in the system, everything has been smooth sailing for Li Shouliang. Then after entering the highest authority in Spring City, there was an obvious problem with his upward space and speed.

Li Shouliang, who became a deputy department-level cadre at the age of 39, was definitely a rising officialdom star at that time in the 80s.

At the age of forty-five, he became a member of the Standing Committee of the Chuncheng Municipal Party Committee and executive deputy mayor at the department level, which is definitely enviable.

It's just that he took off the permanent title on his head, but it took Li Shouliang seven or eight years.

Among them, the acting mayor of Chuncheng, who has been working for more than half a year, is also full of all kinds of ups and downs, and finally withdrew, and even the main position of Chuncheng, which has been working for decades, has been lost.

If it weren't for the reappointment of the young party secretary with great talent and outstanding vision, Li Shouliang would have clearly known that he would have spent two years in a relatively cold system like the Forestry Department, and what was waiting for him would be a step-by-step retirement.

But anyone who has experience in the career knows that the living and working habits in the system are really not as easy to wipe away some traces as imagined.

Regardless of whether this is the kind of official addiction that ordinary people say, at least in Li Shouliang's view, with his current age and ability, he can still continue to do what he can, but because of practical reasons, he can only sit and watch, which is an unbearable torment for anyone with a strong sense of dedication.

It is precisely because of this that the sudden pie in the sky is the most precious God-given opportunity in Li Shouliang's life.

Perhaps because he had a good cooperation with the young secretary of the municipal party committee before, from the first day of serving as the mayor of Chuncheng, Li Shouliang entered the work state very quickly.

In any case, Li Shouliang, who doesn't want to go home to retire easily, cherishes this hard-won second spring in his life.

Generally speaking, the people who can fight in the Chinese system are basically the group of people who are relatively good in terms of IQ and EQ.

Especially at the level above the department level, it can be said that there are basically no people who are too stupid in the ordinary sense.

The reason why there are always some things that make countless ordinary people feel unbelievable in real life is that in the final analysis, it is not the IQ of those people, but the most important thing that really leads them to make those seemingly outrageous decisions is a matter of position and angle.

Guan Peng, who is also a member of the leadership team of Chuncheng, compared with Li Shouliang, naturally made many people in the system sigh.

is such two people who are comparable in rank, seniority and even ability, but the current ending is so shocking, and the fundamental reason for this is also a matter of interest position.

At the beginning of Chen Youwei's arrival in Chuncheng, the high-spirited Guan Peng, as the deputy secretary of the Chuncheng City Party Committee, had the support of such a great god as Xia Wang behind him, and he had far more resources in his hands than the young acting mayor who had just arrived.

It is precisely because of his unrealistic ideas that obviously exceed Guan Peng's own expectations that he has put himself and Chen Youwei on an opposing position from the beginning.

And Li Shouliang, who has just stepped down from the position of acting mayor, is obviously much more low-key, whether it is because the hard work during the acting mayor period has not been evaluated accordingly, or this small step back in the officialdom is likely to affect his future career, in general, Li Shouliang at that time had no chance to compete with Guan Peng at all.

Now a few years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Guan Peng, who was high in the past, has been imprisoned, but Li Shouliang, who was not favored at that time, has turned over.

Such a contrasting reality is actually a portrayal of the current Spring City to a certain extent.

After the rebirth, Spring City is not only showing the rise of the economy in front of the world, but also the establishment of a more open, fairer and just social order, which is the real reason why countless people are amazed.

"The rapid development of the past few years has made Spring City get rid of the difficult predicament in the past, the development of industry has greatly inspired the confidence of Spring City, and we will make up for the shortcomings of agriculture, and the economic development will basically be on a steady and correct road!"

Chen Youwei walked on the ridge where there was still a faint remnant of snow, and said with a calm heart: "Economic development has always been the focus of our daily work, but this does not mean that we have to put all our thoughts here!" ”

Li Shouliang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Secretary, is this a little premature?" Our Spring City's GDP last year was still ranked third in the country, and Shanghai and Shanghai are now ranking first. ”

"The foundation of heavy industry in Shanghai is not bad, they occupy the Yangtze River estuary, such a great geographical advantage, with no less than our development speed, everything is reasonable."

Chen Youwei said with a smile: "The capital has come down from the first place, which is also an objective reason. Including the relocation of a large number of high-energy-consuming and heavily polluting enterprises in the Beijing steel mill, this is actually a good thing for the capital of China's political and cultural center! ”

"Now the whole country is focusing on economic development, at this time, if we suddenly have a different voice in Spring City, will it not have a good impact?" Li Shouliang actually knew the thoughts of the young party secretary to some extent, and asked worriedly.

"In general, the gap between the total GDP of the top three cities is getting smaller and smaller, and according to the current trend, the capital that has been slimmed down in heavy industry will be surpassed by Huhai and our spring city one by one."

Chen Youwei said with a smile full of firmness and confidence: "That is to say, for a long time from now on, there is basically no other city except our Spring City that can threaten the status of the economic leader of Shanghai and Huaxia. ”

"Hehe, yes, I'm convinced of that!" Li Shouliang also laughed loudly.

"Although our Spring City has the existence of heavy industry in the past few decades, I have to say that after the economic take-off in the past few years, there are still too many problems that are not suitable for our economic development in our city, which is full of conservative and development coexists at the same time!"

Chen Youwei took out a cigarette and handed it over, lit the fire and shook his head and sighed: "Now some people in Chuncheng who have a lot of money are showing off everywhere, as if they are afraid that others will not know that he is rich. Many tourist attractions in Spring City can be seen everywhere, and many locals look like nouveau riche, and everywhere they go, there will be loud noises, random queues, uncivilized phenomena such as unhygienic! ”

Li Shouliang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, strictly speaking, these things are really inseparable from his responsibilities as the mayor of a city.

"So I don't think it's enough to just focus on economic development!"

Chen Youwei waved his hand passionately: "To build our Spring City into a modern garden city with beautiful scenery is absolutely inseparable from the general improvement of the quality of our Spring City citizens!" Otherwise, it is hard to imagine that on the one hand, there is a modern atmosphere of high-rise buildings, and on the other hand, the poor quality of the citizens of Chuncheng City has caused an immeasurable negative image of the city. ”

"The secretary is far-sighted and hits the nail on the head, this is really the most noteworthy thing in the development of our Spring City!" Li Shouliang sighed.

"Fundamentally speaking, the socialist market economy that we are now carrying out is to coordinate development to the greatest extent possible through the invisible hand of the market on the basis of strengthening the central government's macroeconomic regulation and control functions."

Chen Youwei stared at Li Shouliang, who was full of concern, and said in a deep voice: "From this point of view, our government pays too much attention to the specific development of enterprises, which is obviously a bit out of place!" In my opinion, with the further development of the economy, what we need to do more is to learn to let go and let the invisible hand of the market manage the economic problems. ”

Li Shouliang's eyes were solemn, and he asked after a long time: "Theoretically, this is the goal of our development, but is it too early to let go now?" ”

"Nothing can be done overnight, and we can't do that one-size-fits-all!"

Chen Youwei smiled and nodded: "Eat bite by bite, let's start with the streamlining of some unnecessary administrative approvals, and improve our regulatory system and functions for the market step by step." As long as we do our work properly, if we get rid of all the unnecessary work on our government over time, we will naturally get twice the result with half the effort! ”

"It's always good to take your time, but it will certainly not be easy to carry out such an administrative reform!"

Li Shouliang shook his head with a wry smile and said: "For quite a few departments, a lot of administrative approvals are fat in their eyes. Even though our city has a severe crackdown and management of the department's small treasury, many gray areas are still a difficult problem to solve! ”

Chen Youwei said with a smile: "That's right, if you want to completely solve the problem of the small treasury of the following departments, you must start with these excessive administrative approvals." The existence of the small treasury is a very unserious and easily breeding corruption, and it must be cleaned up from the source, which is also the real concern and love for the comrades below! ”

"Then we have to find a representative unit to operate!"

The courage of the young secretary of the municipal party committee made Li Shou's conscience feel happy and laughed loudly in a happy mood.
