Volume 2 The Wind and the Grass and the Horses' Hooves Chapter 5 Go to the Feast

In mid-September, another major event with far-reaching impact was staged -- the new National Party Congress was held in Beijing.

The curtain of the twentieth century is slowly falling, and the dawn of the twenty-first century is already looming.

The congress has made a breakthrough in the theory of ownership, and has defined public ownership as the mainstay and the common development of economies under various forms of ownership as a basic economic system in the initial stage of socialism in China, which is the persistence and application of the basic principles of socialism in contemporary China and a new development in theory and practice of Marxist ownership theory.

The breakthrough in the theory of ownership has clarified the way of thinking and pointed out the direction for the reform of the economic system and social development. The wind of ideological emancipation has pushed forward the surging of reform, and the reform of the economic system has entered a new stage.

The theoretical breakthrough and establishment have also clarified the direction for many vague reforms, and what specific reform measures will be introduced, which has also attracted widespread attention from the outside world, and the people with the highest exposure frequency have appeared from time to time in various news columns and financial interviews on television.

Before getting off work that afternoon, Inspector Li Xuezhong came to Lu Zhengdong's office, saying that his mother had arrived in Beijing, and that his old mother liked to be lively and wanted to have a meal together.

According to Li Xuezhong's age, Lu Zhengdong estimated that it should be Li Xuezhong's mother's 80th birthday, so Li Xuezhong would send out the invitation so solemnly.

Lu Zhengdong saw that Li Xuezhong was full of fists, so he agreed.

After getting off work, Lu Zhengdong learned that the two deputy directors of Zhou and Wang were also invited.

Several people went downstairs, and the Li family had a car waiting outside.

Lu Zhengdong saw two Audis parked outside, so he smiled and said:

"Lao Li, your relatives in your hometown are big money, and today we eat big money?"

Li Xuezhong smiled:

"How can it be, it's really my mother coming to Beijing today, how can I ask others to pay for it? As for the car. It's Li Changke's, I'm an elder in the house, although I'm not a few years older than Li Changke, but according to the generation, he has to call me uncle. ”

Zhou Shi'an sighed. Road:

"I remember correctly. Li Changke is the executive vice mayor of Jingzhou, right? ”

Li Xuezhong nodded.

Zhou Shi'an smiled, as if there was something, and did not speak.

Li Xuezhong said:

"It's all work! Besides, the main responsibility for Jingzhou's problem is not him, and I heard that the organization department still has a very high opinion of him. ”

Zhou Shi'an smiled at this time. Said with a smile:

"That's good, we're afraid of affecting his future, it's okay."

Wang Zhenhe also smiled and said to Lu Zhengdong:

"Director, Jingzhou is an important resource town in the country, and it belongs to the first group of people to be mobilized at the request of our System Reform Commission. Alas, our Commission for the Reform of the System has only formulated a policy of reform, and it has been quite lively, but we can only sigh with joy on how to implement it, and the comrades in the localities do not care much about our opinions at all, and Jingzhou has been criticized by our Commission for the Reform of the System, but the person directly responsible should be promoted and promoted. It should be promoted, so reform is a long way to go......"

The words of the three people made Lu Zhengdong generally understand what was going on, Jingzhou is a sub-provincial city and one of the largest resource-based cities in the country. It is also a pilot city for reform in this regard, and some of the reform measures formulated by the Commission for the Reform of the System have not been implemented satisfactorily in Jingzhou.

It's just that it's a little inappropriate to talk about such things at this time, so Zhou Shi'an didn't take over the conversation, and Li Xuezhong frowned slightly. There was a hint of embarrassment on both of them.

Lu Zhengdong looked at the appearance of the two, and Zhou Shi'an and Li Xuezhong estimated that they were a little contradictory. may also be a little unhappy because of this matter, but no matter what, Zhou Shi'an is very deep in the city, and he can get along with anyone in terms of face, and he will not make too faceless moves. Before, the two of them were fighting a belly lawsuit, but when Wang Zhenhe said this, it was tantamount to bringing this matter directly to the table.

Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but think in his heart, Wang Zhenhe is really a bit excessive, his mother is eighty years old, this should be a happy thing, but it is such a bad scenery.

They are all people who have reached the position of department-level cadres, Wang Zhenhe cannot be a confused person, if he has no intentions, he will not say such a thing, this is obviously for fear that the world will not be chaotic and provoke the relationship between Zhou Shi'an and Li Xuezhong.

This Wang Zhenhe is a bit excessive, and Lu Zhengdong can't help but think of some rumors about Wang Zhenhe that he has heard from various channels.

Wang Zhenhe's reputation is not very good, and Qiu Ze also revealed between his words that Wang Zhenhe likes to make yin moves, stumble, fan the flames, and do everything.

People who work in such a big agency are all understanding people, and people like him are polite on the surface, but in their hearts they are all keeping a guard and distance from him, it is precisely because of this kind of person that Wang Zhenhe is actually very isolated in the bureau, because of this, the director and deputy director of the bureau have changed a few times, and he still did not move half a point in the position of the last deputy director.

The more Wang Zhenhe stood still, the more suspicious he became, always thinking that it was others who gave the leader his eye medicine behind his back, and made him bad behind his back, and everyone felt that he was his enemy, especially the deputy director who had a competitive relationship with him, and so on, which was the focus of his suspicions, and none of them he could get along well.

And now Wang Zhenhe is also old, a person in his fifties, it is almost impossible to go further to the position of the deputy department, but Wang Zhenhe is not without any ideas, and now the biggest wish is to be able to raise half of the level when he retires, so that he can enjoy the treatment of the deputy department after retirement.

And to do this, the current position hope is extremely slim, and some positions that can be fought for become extremely sensitive, and if you can win the position of director, the hope will increase greatly, no matter what, you have to go to the position of executive deputy director to be more hopeful, but this time you don't compete for the executive deputy director, the director has nothing to do with him, not only is he dissatisfied, but he also hates himself as the director of the airborne bureau.

Zhou Shi'an probably also has an idea in his heart, Lu Zhengdong thought in his heart, but Zhou Shi'an is obviously calmer than Wang Zhenhe, thinking that Zhou Shi'an also knows that he is sitting in such a position at such a young age, and it is impossible for him to have an extremely strong background behind him.

So he is still observing and waiting for the opportunity, thinking that Zhou Shi'an's idea is to prepare with both hands with a red heart, and Zhou Shi'an also knows that it is impossible for a character like him to stay in this position for too long and work hard to have a good relationship with him. A few kind words for him before leaving, maybe he can help him, even if he can't help, making friends with him will be of great benefit to him in the future; On the other hand, he is too young after all. Zhou Shi'an may also be waiting for him to make a mistake. Waiting for the opportunity to replace it......

If these two people have nothing to ask for, it is not easy for him to guess their minds, as long as they have ideas in their hearts, he can guess the minds of those two people.

If there is no yu, it is rigid. If the two of them don't have any ideas, it's actually not easy to do something, and if they have ideas, he should deal with them better......

In Lu Zhengdong's view, Zhou, Wang, and Li are simply not enough to pose a mortal threat to his position, and his competitors are not in the game. Not even in the Commission, but elsewhere.

Zeng Huaide is his main competitor, Zeng Huaide is now the director of the Department of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises of the Economic Commission, the work of the two people does not seem to have a direct intersection and competition, but the competition between the two people is outside the job function, this is a marathon competition, Zeng Huaide is now full of strength in the Department of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, before and after the Party Congress, he is frequently showing up, and the limelight is in full swing. Although he has now caught up with Zeng Huaide, after the end of the Party Congress, the national provincial and ministerial-level cadres will be adjusted, and after this round of adjustment, it will be the adjustment of vice-ministerial-level cadres. According to the usual practice, this time will be held one after another after next year's National People's Congress, and it is estimated that Zeng Huaide will have great confidence in going one step further and entering the ranks of high-ranking officials at the vice ministerial level.

There is also Yun Weixi, who has been sent to Jiangnan Province, although it is still the main hall. It is estimated that after the National People's Congress, he will enter the ranks of the vice-provincial level like Zeng Huaide. Although Yun Weixi has always adhered to the low-key and introverted style of the Yun family, and seems to be quiet in Jiangnan Province, Lu Zhengdong knows that the more this is the case, the more stamina he has.

These two people are his real competitors, of course, these two people must also be regarded as the strongest opponents for a long time in the future, which can be seen from the fact that the two Zeng Huaide brothers are in the clouds and mist together, and the Zeng family is also quite vague about him.

After he arrived in the capital, I am afraid that he felt a great threat.

And the same is true for Yun Weixi, he has been in the capital for a while, and the uncle has not leaked the network resources in his hands to him, in fact, Lu Zhengdong also knows that in fact, the network resources that the uncle and Yun Weixi have mastered, even if the uncle reveals one or two to him, in fact, it is difficult for him to use it, at most it is a kind of state of the uncle, but now the uncle does not even have such a state, which is very revealing......

When he arrived in the capital, he had to face such a reality, and Lu Zhengdong was mentally prepared when he had not set foot in the capital.

So his idea is to try to put these people in the tie on hold and spend more time on business......

Lu Zhengdong saw something thoroughly, but he wouldn't show it, seeing that Zhou and Li were a little uncomfortable, he didn't want to make the atmosphere too embarrassing, so he smiled slightly:

"zhèngfu is like a machine, each performing its own duties, our system reform committee has the opinions of the system reform committee, and the local government has local decision-making, how to coordinate and unify, this is the key."

The policies and documents on reform formed by the Commission for the Reform of the System are usually issued by multiple ministries and commissions to the local government, and the local government is not effective in implementing them or violating them, but in fact, it is not only the prestige of the bureau that is damaged.

Wang Zhenhe sighed and said:

"The more in-depth and difficult the reform, the more we work hard, but we are always considered to be standing and talking without backache, we people are not wronged, but delay the overall situation of reform and opening up, that is a sin? p>。? p>

Wang Zhenhe looked sad and pitiful, but with his previous appearance, it became more and more ridiculous.

Lu Zhengdong smiled and didn't squeak, and walked towards the car parked in front, Wang Zhenhe looked at the atmospheric new Audi car, shook his head, but this time he didn't speak, and the look, several people understood its meaning: the local zhèngfu is also a department-level leader sits in such a new high-end car, and the three department-level officials in the bureau are all sitting in the old broken Jetta.

Lu Zhengdong got into the car in front, and Li Xuezhong sat in the co-pilot of the car in front of him.

Zhou Shi'an has been observing Lu Zhengdong's face, he knows that Wang Zhenhe originally wanted Lu Zhengdong to have a bad impression of him, but Wang Zhenhe's expression is too urgent, but it is a bit self-defeating, Lu Zhengdong's face has always been smiling, although he can't see the clue. But I believe that Wang Zhenhe's clumsy appearance is afraid that it will arouse Lu Zhengdong's disgust, and he said that Wang Zhenhe is really good, and in order to enjoy the deputy ministerial level after retirement, he ponders this matter every day. As everyone knows, the more you care about it, the more you pay attention to it, and it will be difficult to get it......

Zhou Shi'an hesitated for a moment, and also got into Lu Zhengdong's car, Wang Zhenhe glanced at Zhou Shi'an. The car in front of you will inevitably be a little more crowded. What's more, with Zhou Shi'an here, it didn't mean much, so I had to get into the car behind me......

After entering the hotel, Lu Zhengdong took a look. There were quite a few people coming, there were seven or eight tables sitting in the hall, and Lu Zhengdong and the others naturally wanted to go to Lao Jixing first. The eyes are not dazzled, the ears are not deaf, and the Jing God is still very good.

A few people accompanied Lao Jianxing to talk for a while, and then naturally they were invited into the VIP room, and there were already a few people sitting in the private room, except for Lu Zhengdong and other three directors of the Economic Operation and Reform Bureau, most of the others had Jingzhou accents, and it was estimated that the demeanor was all cadres from Li Xuezhong's hometown, of course. The highest position is Li Changke, executive vice mayor of Jingzhou City, who was just mentioned in front of the office building.

Li Changke is tall and strong, and his voice is also very loud, and he is very imposing.

The rest of the Jingzhou cadres are estimated to be the heads of the Jingzhou Ministries, Commissions, and Bureaus, and they are all related to Li Xuezhong, but they are all corner relatives of the seven aunts and eight aunts. ran into Beijing to congratulate the old lady so enthusiastically, in fact, it was mainly for Li Xuezhong.

Although Li Xuezhong is a tea drinker in the Physical Reform Commission, for local people, there is a leading cadre who is familiar with him in the capital. That's a lot more convenient.

Li Xuezhong introduced the two sides, and Liu Li Changke shook hands with Lu Zhengdong and directors Zhou and Wang very affectionately. I can't see that I have suffered a loss at the hands of Zhou Shi'an.

After everyone sat down, before they could say a few words, all kinds of Jingzhi dishes were served on the table one after another, and the wine was also aged in Jingzhou, Li Xuezhong's hometown.

Li Xuezhong consulted Lu Zhengdong's opinion:

"Director, do you want to drink Moutai or Wuliangye?"

Lu Zhengdong has always been not interested in sauce-flavored wine, he drinks that thing like drinking soy sauce, the taste buds are uncomfortable, Wuliangye is his favorite, but today he is here to cheer, since he is here, then a good person will do it to the end, and give Li Xuezhong enough face:

"I don't drink any other wine today, so I will taste your hometown wine."

The people at the table all raised their glasses and drank it, although the wine is not as famous as Wuliangye, but since they dare to scoop it up on such a table, it must be passable. ,

After a toast with everyone, he put down the wine glass, and Li Changke picked up the wine glass to toast Lu Zhengdong's wine:

"Director Lu is really young and promising, I salute Director Lu with a ......"

"Mayor Li is polite, drink slowly, you can't bear to drink too quickly."

Li Changke touched his glass with him, drank the wine in the cup with a bang, and said with a bold smile:

"Director Lu, I did it, you are free."

Lu Zhengdong and Li Changke are equal in terms of rank, and in terms of real power, one is the director of an important bureau of a ministry and commission, and the other is the executive vice mayor of a sub-provincial city, which is also half a catty, and Li Changke's words are too polite, polite rather than close.

Lu Zhengdong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he could also understand Li Changke's thoughts, working in the local area, it is inevitable that he will go to the capital to do things, whether such a thing is just a procedural issue or there is really a project to do public relations, but in the eyes of the Beijing officials, they are all begging them to do things, so the Beijing officials are difficult to see, their faces are ugly, and things are difficult to do, which is the unanimous perception of many local cadres.

Lu Zhengdong originally just thought that there was no need to fight for wine to participate in such a private banquet, but Li Changke did not necessarily understand it this way, and felt that he was holding it up.

Lu Zhengdong did not hesitate to put the wine in the cup to his neck, Li Changke and several Jingzhou cadres applauded, Li Changke saluted Zhou Shi'an and Wang Zhenhe one by one, Li Changke looked like it was really a test of wine, and he drank four cups in a row without changing his heart.

Lu Zhengdong also smiled and said:

"Mayor Li is really a good drinker."

Lu Zhengdong is still very good at drinking in Xihe, but after all, Xihe is half of the south, and his drinking is generally not as good as that of northerners.

Everyone drank wine and chatted, and gradually let go, Lin Dayu, director of the Jingzhou Economic Commission, was so drunk that his face was flushed, obviously a little high, but he didn't know why, a cup of wine frequently toasted Zhou Shi'an, Zhou Shi'an began to reluctantly dry two glasses, and when Lin Dayu toasted again, Zhou Shi'an covered the cup and said:

"Almost, Lao Lin, don't stare at me, let's not drink."

Li Changke also pulled Lin Dayu's arm and said:

"Lao Lin, it's good that the wine is in place!"

But he raised his cup to Zhou Shi'an again, and muttered in his mouth:

"Director Zhou, our work in Jingzhou has not been done properly, I, the director of the Economic Commission, have to pay a few glasses to you and make amends to Director Zhou."

As soon as Lu Zhengdong and the others heard it, they understood that Lin Dayu was making amends, and at first glance, because of the implementation of the reform plan, the leaders of Jingzhou City were criticized for carrying the black pot, and they were resentful in their hearts, and they went crazy with wine.

This Lin Dayu's wine is really not good, this was originally a happy occasion but this stubble was mentioned, which not only embarrassed Zhou Shi'an, but also made the host's family ugly, and made his boss Li Changke's face dull, and the wine depends on the character, presumably this Lin Dayu's style will not be too high......

Li Changke frowned when he saw this, and said:

"Lao Lin is drunk, let people help him to rest."

While speaking, someone helped to help Lin Dayu out half-dragging and half-pulling, Lin Dayu didn't leave or speak, and muttered to himself:

"Some people just sit and talk without backache, scooping chicken feathers as arrows."

Lin Dayu's voice was not small, and the people in the room heard it clearly. The atmosphere in the private room is unusually awkward......
