Summer passed quietly, autumn came quietly, silently, and in the blink of an eye, the earth was clothed in gold. The fragrance of rice wafts around, and the acres of crops look like rolling mille-feuille waves from a distance; Looking closely, the rice ears bent over with a smile, the sorghum blushed, and the corn was happy. Looking at the mountains on the side, it seems to have crossed a layer of gold. Countless yellow butterflies flew down from above, and a group circled in mid-air, and I don't know how long it took for the dark yellow clothes to turn light yellow; Light yellow turned into Heshi again, like a naughty imp; On the high mountain in the distance, the maple leaves were drunk, and it was like a red sea, covering half of the sky, and it was connected with the glow, and the red burned like a flame. This yellow and red are connected, giving people an indescribable warmth. All kinds of autumn scenery swept by the window, but in the face of such a beautiful scenery, Lu Zhengdong did not appreciate it at all.

Lu Zhengdong was heading to the airport of the provincial capital, the car was speeding, and his mind was drifting far away.

Not long ago, the prime minister came to Beihu for several days, and he stayed in Anxin for the longest time.

In Anxin, Lu Zhengdong has been serving each other, which is a thing worth celebrating, but Lu Zhengdong can't be happy.

The main goal of the premier's visit to Beihu Province is Anxin, and the focus is to investigate how large and medium-sized cities with a relatively large concentration of state-owned enterprises should develop and carry out the restructuring of state-owned enterprises.

According to Lu Zhengdong's understanding, in the past, no matter which central leader came to inspect, under normal circumstances, during the inspection, he would always have a long talk with the principal leader of the area being inspected.

This kind of long talk is always very deep and honest. It is also highly targeted. The conversation is very thorough. Every time you go through such a conversation. Gong Kaichen has consciously benefited a lot.

It's not just the work that benefits. He felt that through such a conversation, he and the central leaders got closer in their hearts, got to know each other better, and got further communication. You know, this kind of communication is not only important, but also extremely rare; On the other hand, in this long talk. It can show the central leadership's more personal experience in governing and a macro grasp of the overall situation.

As a subordinate, you will also find some of your own shortcomings from the conversation, and you can make timely adjustments.

And this is not easy to obtain from public documents, instructions, and speeches, and at the same time, such conversations are also the most direct and best way for leaders to understand themselves, so there is no place that does not attach great importance to such investigation and research.

But during the investigation, the prime minister did not talk to him and Zhan Jidong for a long time, and even the prime minister did not have any expression on Anxin's achievements.

And at the meeting of the provincial cadres held before the end of the inspection. In terms of the latest work spirit of the Central Committee and some important problems that must be solved in this survey, there is no mention of these at all.

It stands to reason. He is still familiar with the prime minister, the prime minister summoned him when international speculators blocked the Hong Kong dollar, and he also accompanied the prime minister to inspect Beihu and Anxin, and it was precisely because of this investigation that he became attached to Anxin, and the opinions of Anxin as mayor and prime minister are also closely related.

And from the perspective of Anxin's development, it must still be enough to praise, from this point of view, the prime minister should not be so expressive, Lu Zhengdong knows the prime minister's temper, and hates deception the most, but in this regard, Anxin has paid considerable attention to it, Zhan Jidong and he are still relatively objective in the process of his investigation, and did not avoid the problems that Anxin needs to solve and the shortcomings of the store, and the more so, it makes Lu Zhengdong very incomprehensible, and even a little uneasy.

Could it be that Secretary Jiang of the Provincial Party Committee gave him eye medicine?

It's just that Lu Zhengdong thinks that this kind of possibility is not very likely, the prime minister appreciates him, Secretary Jiang can't not know, doing so will only leave a bad impression on him, and it seems that the pattern is not big, too small-bellied, Secretary Jiang is a feudal official who sits on one side, even if he has any opinions on him, he will not do anything behind his back, this kind of mind and stomach still have.

What made Lu Zhengdong even more uneasy was that shortly after the premier returned to Beijing, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Development Research Center of the State Council, and the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee jointly dispatched a working group to conduct "investigations" on An Xin. I stayed in Anxin for almost two weeks.

What made Lu Zhengdong feel very uneasy was that the content of their research was also secretive to them, and they were silent when they left.

Lu Zhengdong used to work in the Economic Reform Commission, and many of the functions of the Commission were later merged into the National Development and Reform Commission, so there were many acquaintances among the people who came.

Lu Zhengdong learned a little about the internal spirit and internal dynamics of the high-level leaders, and as long as it did not involve the content stipulated in the secrecy code, they always had few taboos, and they set the boundaries of their speech very widely, and there were few taboos.

At most, after finishing speaking, he added with a smile: "Let's say anything, all qiē are subject to the official text." "A word of smoothing.

But this time, these are completely businesslike. When I came to Anxin, I only greeted the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee in advance and during the entire investigation process, and always avoided dealing with Zhan Jidong and him, saying that they were just doing some routine social surveys this time, so they would not alarm the main leaders of the Municipal Party Committee.

Of course, it can't be understood from these people, and the leaders of the city will also find a way to understand it from the personnel of the units and departments that are being investigated in the city, but after a little understanding, not only does Zhan Jidong scratch his head, but Lu Zhengdong is also puzzled: the scope of the investigation is very general, I don't know the specific direction, and the questions raised are often relatively modest, and it is also difficult to judge its true intentions.

There are also many people who understand and investigate what they have done individually, and it is difficult for outsiders to know what they have really talked about, except for the parties involved.

When they were leaving, Zhan Jidong and Lu Zhengdong specially rushed to the hotel where they were staying to visit. These people who are usually familiar with each other seem very cautious. The atmosphere was also quite dreary. Until they left, they did not make any research "reports" to the two first- and second-in-command of Anxin.

This is also extremely abnormal. According to the usual practice and the principle of organization, under normal circumstances, any ministry or commission of the central government should carry out its work with the assistance of the municipal party committee and government. At the end of the work, it is generally necessary to make a report to the municipal party committee. Such debriefings, even if they are routine. It's always a routine, too. Unless something extraordinary happens......

And such a special situation has finally arrived. When he first went to work in the afternoon, the general office of the city government received a notice from the general office of the central government forwarded by the provincial party committee that a chief wanted to summon him and asked him to report for duty before 8 o'clock tonight.

As for who wanted to summon him and what the reason for the summoning was, the notice did not disclose anything, and even the old man in the capital did not know the reason.

Lu Zhengdong was both surprised and expected by such a summons. What is surprising is that he is only a low-level deputy ministerial-level cadre. Normally, he does not enjoy such treatment, and in the years since he entered politics, he has looked up to heaven and earth, fulfilled his duties, and tried his best to do everything he could, and he did not do anything wrong with the line and the rules of heaven, and he has always warned himself that he was in a high position and shouldered heavy burdens when he was young. It is also necessary to have a mentality of being on the edge of the abyss and walking on thin ice. Arguably, at any time. In everything, we must not be negligent, but we must be cautious. He felt that he had always insisted on doing so.

So, once I received the notice of the summons, I was still surprised, suddenly. But from another point of view, a series of abnormal situations after the prime minister's inspection and investigation made him have a premonition that something is going on -- and something important. In Anxin and even in the decision-making level of the province, he is far from the only one who has this kind of "hunch" for a period of time......

The car sped away and finally arrived at the airport at the scheduled time.

When he received the notice, it was already two o'clock, and An Xin's plane to the capital would not take off until about seven o'clock, so he had to rush to the provincial capital to take a flight to the capital at half past four, and there was no time to arrange anything at all.

When he boarded the plane, Lu Zhengdong's chaotic heart finally got a little better, and he couldn't help but think that not long ago, he was still saying that since Gu Xiongcai had many tribulations, but he didn't expect it to be his turn so soon, it was quite easy to say this, but who really fell on him, no one had a taste in his heart, but it was a blessing or a curse that could not be avoided, what should come, it would come after all, and if it couldn't wait, it would not come after all, and when I arrived in the capital, I understood......

Subsequently, the Secretary-General sent a summary of some recent figures on relevant economic activities in the city, compiled by the Municipal Bureau of Statistics. Although the aggregator has categorized them into a clear schedule, they still occupy a full two and a half pages.

Every time you meet the leaders, whether they are leaders in the capital or provincial cities, this is an indispensable preparation.

These are not only numbers, but more importantly, the relationship between numbers and numbers, as well as the correlation between numbers and numbers, the changes that may occur after the collision and fusion of these numbers and those numbers, and the changes that may occur after the collision and fusion of those numbers...... Of course, it is essential to have one or another problem and a series of solutions...... None of this is listed on this schedule.

This time, Lu Zhengdong not only brought the secretary Xiao Deng, but also the secretary general An Junyi, in this case, Xiao Deng can't help with many things, and there is someone to discuss and talk about things with An Junyi.

An Junyi is indeed an excellent secretary general, and he will not do anything less. If he shouldn't do it, he will definitely not do one more. What is especially rare is that he always disappears when he needs to disappear, at the moment when he needs to appear.

And what is even more rare is that some complicated things can be sorted out quickly when they are in his hands, but this time An Junyi is also confused in the face of such a situation, and he can't figure out the true intention of this summons.

And those people in Anxin City are probably all thinking about each other, Lu Zhengdong thought silently.

Indeed, these cadres in An Xin reacted strongly to his sudden summons to the capital, and Zhan Jidong, the secretary of the municipal party committee, has been anxiously waiting in his office for any news that Beijing may send back.

After the general manager's inspection, when all kinds of rumors about Lu Zhengdong in the city had just begun to spread in Anxin, he had already explained to the director of the city's Beijing Office, and the director of the Beijing Office was a person he trusted, and Zhan Jidong's purpose was to ask him to pay attention to collecting information in this regard. In the afternoon, Lu Zhengdong walked forward, and he called the director of the Beijing Office again, and first instructed:

"If Mayor Lu stays in the Beijing Office, he must try his best to take care of his life, and he has not been in a good mood recently, so he must take care of his life in particular."

Then he asked the director of the Beijing Office to immediately use the contacts he had built up in Beijing over the years to gather information about the specific circumstances of the summons, and to make sure that everything was too big and small, and that no details should be missed.

What made Zhan Jidong uneasy was that in the past, when he accepted such an arrangement, the director of the Beijing Office always lived up to expectations, and more or less always got him back something that he was interested in, but today, after waiting all night, no information came back. It was only said that at around 7 o'clock in the evening, Mayor Lu and others went in in a vehicle provided by the Beijing Office, and since then, there has been no more news.

Executive Vice Mayor An Jinshan has also stayed in the city government and has not returned home,

At about seven o'clock in the evening, his lover called him and asked him if he would go home for dinner, and after receiving a negative answer, he still asked in a low voice:

"Has Lu Zhengdong been shuanggui?"

She told An Jinshan that since the time of dinner, people kept coming to the house. Dial after dial, six or seven dials have come......

At this moment, there are two groups of guests waiting in the living room. ”

An Jinshan asked impatiently:

"What the hell is going on?"

"They want to see you. These guests are the heads and deputies of certain departments and units...... I heard that the above has decided to remove Lu Zhengdong from his post and you will take over as mayor...... They...... They are all here to report to you and ask for instructions...... There are also miles from the lower districts and counties......"

"! ……”

If Lu Zhengdong really had a problem, he would naturally be very happy, but now even he doesn't know what Lu Zhengdong is looking for, how can these people know about it?

Thinking of this, An Jinshan immediately raised his voice several degrees:

"You're so confused! What is the report? What has been officially decided? Did they see the official document of the organizational department? All of them are here to explore the wind, and you should ask those comrades to leave immediately...... Don't say anything, this is a particularly sensitive issue, this is also the most sensitive time, be cautious, don't make trouble for me! ””

If Lu Zhengdong has a problem, he does have a chance to become the mayor, which is indeed an excellent opportunity, but the more he is at such a time, the more he must calm down, if there are too many traces and there are rumors to spread, it will be useless. But then he softened his tone and said:

"You should be as polite as possible, in short, you must let them leave quickly, and you can't offend people."

After explaining, An Jinshan sat there and pondered for a moment, grabbed it again, dialed two numbers and hesitated for a while or gave up, his call was not to call home but to Zhan Jidong, Zhan Jidong's news should come faster than him, An Jinshan thought about it, and decided that it would be better to go to Zhan Jidong's office...... (To be continued......)
