Chapter 114: What Seems Inadvertent Is Actually Inevitable
。 After talking to Liu Jianzhong, Lu Zhengdong and Chen Si'an went to the province to participate in the province's poverty alleviation work summary and annual commendation conference, and Lu Zhengdong met Qiu Chengyun, director of the Organization Department of the Changtan Municipal Party Committee, but now Qiu Chengyun is no longer the deputy director of the Provincial Agricultural Development Office, but the deputy secretary general of the provincial government. However, after the meeting, Lu Zhengdong thought about it for a while and still called Qiu Chengyun, and said with a smile:
"Old leader, I haven't congratulated you yet, I don't know if I can take the time to meet with my old subordinates?"
Qiu Chengyun is no longer the deputy director of the Provincial Rural Development Office, but the deputy secretary general of the provincial government, or the kind that directly serves the governor, it seems that he will take over the post of secretary general in a short time, which is equivalent to the governor's secretary. Although he is the same as Lu Zhengdong in terms of rank, he is still a deputy department, but his actual status is much stronger than Lu Zhengdong, so it is very customary for Lu Zhengdong to call him "old leader".
Qiu Chengyun also smiled on the phone and said:
"Zhengdong, you are a double happiness, you are really worthy of congratulations, you have a glass of wine, I must drink it, I'm afraid it won't work at noon, at night, call at night, as long as there is no urgency temporarily, get together and call at that time."
Lu Zhengdong originally had the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect Qiu Chengyun to agree very happily.
In fact, Qiu Chengyun has always had a good impression of Lu Zhengdong, and the last time Lu Zhengdong went to Gaotang. He is also the deputy director of the Provincial Agricultural Development Office, Lu Zhengdong once invited him to dinner, he didn't have anything to do, he was nothing in the eyes of people at that time, people especially remember these when they are down, so Lu Zhengdong's invitation he readily agreed.
The time to have dinner with Qiu Chengyun was in the evening, and Lu Zhengdong began to call Jiang Dongyuan, director of the Provincial Poverty Alleviation Office, Jiang Dongyuan's phone was always busy, and the deputy mayors in charge of poverty alleviation work and the directors of the Poverty Alleviation Office in various cities gathered in the provincial capital, and I am afraid that there were many people who invited Jiang Dongyuan. It may not be Long Beach's turn, but the call still has to be made, and it's a matter of etiquette and respect.
finally got through the phone, and sure enough, as he expected, Jiang Dongyuan had been "robbed" by others, and Lu Zhengdong had no choice but to give up, and found a place with Chen Si'an to have a simple lunch, and saw that there was nothing to do in the afternoon. Let the driver drive straight to the Gaotang Economic Development Zone.
Lu Zhengdong asked the driver to drive on the wide road at will, and Chen Si'an, who was sitting next to him, looked at the wide and straight road and the factories, and said with some emotion:
"We can't compare Long Beach and Gaotang, look at this infrastructure, I'm afraid the province has a lot of investment, think we have to fight for some poverty alleviation funds." That's a thousand difficulties, it seems that there are ...... people there are people who hate the poor and love the rich."
Lu Zhengdong said with a smile:
"As the largest development zone in the province, Gaotang Development Zone is the most important engine for the development of the province. Lay more eggs, and the funds for poverty alleviation will be more abundant, so it is not surprising that the province has tilted its funds.
Therefore, the problem of poverty alleviation cannot only rely on poverty alleviation, but to truly solve the problem of poverty, we must solve it in the course of development......"
Chen Si'an nodded when he heard this and said:
"Now Mayor Lu is a professional chicken farmer. I believe that under the leadership of Mayor Lu, we will have more and more chickens that can lay eggs in Long Beach, and in the long run, this will definitely be the greatest support for poverty alleviation work. The city's supporting funds are really very small, and now Mayor Lu is grasping chickens with one hand and poverty alleviation with the other, hehe, this is also hope for our poverty alleviation office, chickens to raise, but some realistic things have to be taken into account......"...,
Lu Zhengdong didn't expect that Chen Si'an's emotion was actually to talk about it around the bend, and he also talked about it through his chicken raising, and he couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile:
"Director Chen, you really know how to get a needle, and you can actually go around the affairs of the development zone to the poverty alleviation office......"
The development zone and poverty alleviation work are all in charge of Lu Zhengdong, he naturally has to find a way to balance, looking at Chen Si'an who is looking at him, Lu Zhengdong also secretly said in his heart, Chen Si'an is a person who does things, and he is not as pedantic as others, he can be regarded as a character......
Chen Si'an saw that although Lu Zhengdong did not directly agree, he did not object, and knew that Lu Zhengdong was going to his heart, so he stopped talking about it.
From the current point of view, there is no difference between Gaotang Development Zone and Long Beach Development Zone, the biggest gap is the gap in scale, and this gap has not changed from quantitative to qualitative.
The two walked around the development zone, and Lu Zhengdong called Qiu Chengyun when he saw that it was almost five o'clock.
As the leader of Long Beach City who was transferred to the province, Chen Si'an knew the situation and the weight of Qiu Chengyun's current position.
Chen Si'an knew that Lu Zhengdong had a dinner in the evening, but Lu Zhengdong didn't say who to invite to the banquet, he thought it was the leader of a relevant department in the province who was banqueting, but he didn't expect it to be Qiu Chengyun, quite tone, Qiu Chengyun had already agreed, and couldn't help but secretly say, when he was in Long Beach, people said that Qiu Chengyun had a big shelf and was not easy to speak, and now it seems that the rumors may not be true, but some people can't talk, Lu Zhengdong really has some ways, and he actually has a good relationship with Qiu Chengyun.
Lu Zhengdong has a high level of understanding, even if he didn't bounce the ticket this time, it would not be long before he became the deputy mayor, and the future of such a character is limitless.
And Lu Zhengdong didn't let him avoid it at night, which showed that Lu Zhengdong also regarded him as his own, and when he thought of this, Chen Si'an couldn't help but feel a little moved......
Qiu Chengyun arrived at the hotel after six o'clock, Qiu Chengyun turned out to be the head of the organization department of the municipal party committee, and the head of the organization department is a living dictionary, and he must be a doorman for the upper-level cadres in the city, and nodded at Chen Si'an.
After Lu Zhengdong and Chen Si'an toasted, Qiu Chengyun also smiled:
"Zhengdong. It seems that the people's eyes are bright, this time you were carried into the city government by the people, for this, we have to have a toast......"
Lu Zhengdong knew that Qiu Chengyun had something to say, and sarcastically Qiu Chengyun had no level, but he said it very vaguely, and he didn't have a word at the moment, and he drank it all after clinking glasses, and then said:
"I'm honestly afraid, I went to Yilan to take office. It was the old leader who personally sent me there, and I was nervous at the time, but the old leader's words not only calmed my heart, but also pointed out the direction of my work, and I stood in Yilan. ”
Lu Zhengdong told the truth, when Qiu Chengyun sent him to Yilan, he not only explained the work matters, but also put an important pilot project of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee in Yilan.
Yau Chengyun used to work in the organization department. There are too many people to send people to office, everyone has to speak, and he can't say anything at that time, but Lu Zhengdong's mention of this incident still brought him back to his years in Long Beach.
"The key is still up to you, I have sent more cadres to take office. But you're the only one who has come this far, and it's not too much ......to describe it as unprecedented."
Lu Zhengdong shook his head:
"It's so uncomfortable that I don't want to go through it a second time."
It is indeed a rebellious thing for such a young person to be elected as the deputy mayor, and Qiu Chengyun, as the former head of the organization, can best understand the attitude of the leaders towards this kind of thing. Qiu Chengyun knew that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had conducted an investigation into the Long Beach Development Zone again, but he didn't know the inside story, and thought that it was a small move taken by some people in Long Beach City to get Lu Zhengdong down, so he nodded and said: ...,
"It is normal for those who are capable to be envied, but those who are clear are self-purifying. After you are in charge of the development zone, the momentum of the development zone is good, and the output value has rebounded strongly. ”
Development zones are often the locomotive of economic development in various cities, and the development status of development zones is often a very important vane for the development of cities, so the provincial government also attaches great importance to this piece, and the important development zones in the province are registered in the provincial government, and the provincial government has mastered the basic situation. In addition, Qiu Chengyun went out from Long Beach after all, and he was very concerned about Long Beach, and he also had some economic data in the Long Beach Development Zone.
As soon as Lu Zhengdong heard Qiu Chengyun say this, he took the opportunity to say:
"When the Secretary-General is free, go to the Long Beach Development Zone to see, the Secretary-General is now standing at a higher level, and the angle of looking at the problem is definitely different, and putting forward some opinions and suggestions will definitely be more enlightening for the development of the Long Beach Development Zone."
Qiu Chengyun couldn't help but smile when he heard Lu Zhengdong's words:
"Zhengdong, you have made some new things in the development zone, let's talk about ......"
Qiu Chengyun knew that Lu Zhengdong invited him to the development zone, in fact, he hoped that he could blow the wind from the leaders of the provincial government, so that the leaders of the provincial government could go to the Long Beach Development Zone to inspect and investigate, investigate and investigate, Lu Zhengdong jumped the ticket to become the deputy mayor, I am afraid that the life in the city is also very sad, continue to wait for strong support, if the leaders of the province can inspect the development zone, this is the affirmation of Lu Zhengdong's work, this is actually the biggest support for Lu Zhengdong, but now the development zones in the province are all the same, Some county-level development zones are not even able to effectively attract investment, and have been completely reduced to a performance project and a face-saving project, which has attracted the attention of the province, and the Long Beach Development Zone is not ranked high now, and if there are no new ideas and new ideas, it will be counterproductive.
Lu Zhengdong does have the idea of letting Qiu Chengyun help blow the wind, but it is not because life is not good, but because Shenzhou fertilizer and other companies are about to come to Long Beach for inspection, and the leaders of the province can visit the development zone before the arrival of these enterprises, which shows that the province also attaches great importance to the Long Beach Development Zone, which will definitely add a certain amount of points in the minds of these investors.
Lu Zhengdong saw that Qiu Chengyun had made it clear and smiled:
"We can't talk about new things, and the Long Beach Development Zone has been able to rebound, but we have paid close attention to the service. How to do a good job in a development zone, need to have a variety of efforts, but the most important of which is the construction of the hard environment and the soft environment, but in the hard environment we are too constrained in the mainland, that is, smashing the pot and selling iron, can not change some of our geographical location and location of some congenital deficiencies, congenital deficiencies can only be made up for by the day after tomorrow, we are powerless in the hard environment, but in the soft environment we can catch up, and even surpass the economically developed areas, to create a good soft environment, It can also promote the development of enterprises in the park to be better, and can also achieve the role played by the hard environment. Combined with our own advantages, we can develop our strengths and avoid weaknesses, so that we can be more competitive ......"
Lu Zhengdong talked about some of his practices in the Long Beach Development Zone, and Qiu Chengyun listened very carefully, but he also had some doubts in his heart, and the service that Lu Zhengdong talked about is actually to change the functions and style of the government, and now it is the slogan of local governments, but this slogan is loud, and there is no movement in GDP. What is the magic bullet that Lu Zhengdong really has, and as soon as he grasps the service, the Long Beach Development Zone will make a big improvement just like the popular phrase "class struggle will be cured as soon as it is grasped" during the special period?
It's just that Lu Zhengdong said a word about how to pay close attention to service, and what he said also aroused his appetite, he was basically engaged in party affairs, and after transferring to government work, he was hungry for government affairs such as the economy. …,
So I carefully asked how the Long Beach Development Zone is done, and after listening, although I had some feelings, I didn't go to see it on the spot. I always felt that something was missing.
Qiu Chengyun has always believed that on-the-spot investigation and first-hand materials are fundamental, and after thinking about it for a while, he said:
"Well, Zhengdong, what you said is very interesting, I want to go to the development zone to see ...... when I have time."
As he spoke, he turned his head to Chen Si'an on the side and said:
"Si'an. Zhengdong has a lot of methods and ideas, and now he is also in charge of poverty alleviation, so you can laugh secretly. ”
Qiu Chengyun drank the wine, and seemed to have removed the mask on his face, joking.
Chen Si'an nodded and said:
"That's that, that's. The Secretary-General is also very concerned about poverty alleviation now, and when I come to Long Beach, I must see our poverty alleviation work......
The three of them talked and drank wine until ten o'clock. and then went away.
Lu Zhengdong sent Qiu Chengyun to the place where he lived, Qiu Chengyun was a little drunk, and did not go upstairs to rest directly, but handed Lu Zhengdong a cigarette, lit it himself, and said:
"I was transferred from the Organization Department of the Changtan Municipal Party Committee to the Provincial Agricultural Development Office, and when I was transferred to the Provincial Agricultural Development Office, I couldn't figure it out, and I also had some ideas, thinking that Liu Jianzhong was squeezing me out. In retrospect, maybe it was a blessing in disguise......"
Lu Zhengdong saw that Qiu Chengyun looked a little emotional, so he didn't speak, just nodded.
Qiu Chengyun took a deep breath of the flue:
"Without this, I would not have worked in the Agricultural Development Office, and if I did not work in the Agricultural Development Office, I would not have an in-depth understanding of the Xihe countryside.
It is impossible to understand the real situation in the rural areas by merely relying on superficial research. I went from Long Beach to the provincial agricultural development office, and I have almost finished running the whole province, cities and counties, and I know a lot about the problem of rural burdens, and I also know more about the poverty situation in rural areas; relying on the poverty alleviation office alone, relying on the agricultural development office alone cannot solve the problem of poverty in the rural areas and the problem of excessive burdens on the peasants; we have worked hard to solve a very small number of illegal acts at most, and most of the burdens are indeed the peasants' burdens that conform to the policy provisions. The key is to develop ......"
Lu Zhengdong nodded and said:
"Well, to completely change the face of the countryside, we must not only focus on reality, but also focus on the long-term ......."
Qiu Chengyun nodded and said:
"If I don't have an in-depth understanding of the countryside, I won't have the perspective of looking at the problem now, and I won't have the opportunity to be the deputy secretary general of the provincial government.
Saying that, Qiu Chengyun patted Lu Zhengdong on the shoulder and said:
"Zhengdong, you are still young, and you still have a long way to go, so sometimes you don't need to care about temporary gains and losses......
Seeing Qiu Chengyun return home, Lu Zhengdong returned to the hotel.
Lying on the big bed in the hotel, thinking that Qiu Chengyun was a person who had been the head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and he was usually a very stable person, but today he drank with Lu Zhengdong and was with the party back then, so he talked a little more, and he also spoke from his heart. Lu Zhengdong knows that tonight, he has gained a real friendship and a real friend, although it seems to be accidental, in fact, it is also inevitable, things are divided by kind, people are divided by groups, the same or similar political outlook and outlook on life, is the main driving force for two people to get closer......
Lu Zhengdong also thought about Qiu Chengyun's words, thinking about Qiu Chengyun's experience, and couldn't help but think of himself, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see the bright street lights outside, thinking about his own experience, he couldn't help but fall into contemplation.........,
――――――――――
Under the urging of Zhou Yuning and other friends in Beijing, the boss of Shenzhou Chemical Fertilizer promised to send personnel to Long Beach in advance to take a look, and Lu Zhengdong also reported the matter to Liu Jianzhong and Ge Yunchang.
Ge Yunchang smiled:
"I know that Zhengdong is very capable, as long as Shenzhou fertilizer can come, this is a good start, I think that in the future, there is absolutely nothing wrong with handing over to Zhengdong if there is a task to overcome difficulties."
Lu Zhengdong raised his head, just in front of Ge Yunchang's eyes. Ge Yunchang's eyes were quite meaningful, and he swept over Lu Zhengdong's face casually, and then said:
"Wherever I need to come forward, as long as there is nothing particularly important, I will participate."
Ge Yunchang's words made Lu Zhengdong very sensitive to a certain message, Ge Yunchang used to be the acting mayor, and he couldn't let go of his hands and feet, but now he became the mayor, and he is still in the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones, and he needs someone to give strong support to his work, there are only a few people in the new municipal government team who are relatively familiar with economic work, Mei Yunlin came down from the province, and he is very high-profile, and he has a bit of a taste of artillery, which makes people feel unsteady, Yang Ancheng is an old oilman at the grassroots level, and the city government is very deep, and Zhou Tianfang is the relationship between He Zidong, Ge Yunchang is not at ease when he uses it.
Ge Yunchang probably has a deeper understanding of him during this time, he is an old scalper who likes to do practical things, and he is the youngest deputy mayor, which means that he is the most junior and the easiest to get into.
Lu Zhengdong understands Ge Yunchang's thoughts, as the deputy mayor, he also needs a powerful ally, although Liu Jianzhong's attitude towards him has changed now, but Liu Jianzhong uses him more than he reuses, and it is difficult to say at a critical time that it is beneficial and harmless to handle the relationship with Ge Yunchang, whether it is from the perspective of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, or from the perspective of being conducive to carrying out work.
