Zhan Jidong was rubbing his head, and Executive Vice Mayor An Jinshan knocked on the door and walked in.

Zhan Jidong didn't get up, just nodded slightly, and motioned for An Jinshan to sit down, Zhan Jidong was naturally very clear about An Jinshan's thoughts, and An Jinshan must also want to know what happened to Lu Zhengdong's trip to the capital.

It's just that An Jinshan is a fan of the authorities, even if something really happens to Lu Zhengdong, it is almost impossible for the mayor to fall on An Jinshan.

The relationship between him and An Jinshan is not a secret at the top, and there is an unwritten rule in the use of cadres, that is, the secretary and the mayor, as the first and second in command, must restrain each other, but they must maintain the unity and stability of the team.

This is a contradiction, but in terms of organizational principles, it is necessary to dialectically unify such contradictions in order to prevent the formation of a hall of words and to ensure that the principle of democratic centralism can be realized.

Therefore, as long as he Zhan Jidong is in Anxin for a day, it will be difficult for An Jinshan to sit in the position of mayor, of course, it will be much less difficult if he becomes deputy secretary.

Just shook his head slightly and said:

"Even Secretary Jiang and Governor Yang called to inquire about the situation, and they didn't know what was going on."

However, at such a time, Zhan Jidong will not say anything bad about the scenery, no matter what, if something really happens to Lu Zhengdong, for him An Jinshan, life in An Xin should be much better, which is worth being happy.

Zhan Jidong's words clearly indicated that he didn't know what was going on in the capital.

The two of them were just lazily lying on the sofa talking, but their minds were on the phone in the office......

In the office of Tang Zhongkai of the municipal government, the atmosphere is much more solemn. In addition to Tang Zhongkai, there were also You Jinzhong and others. Nominally, it was to discuss some of the work that Lu Zhengdong urgently explained when he left. In fact, they are also waiting for the call, and everyone here knows what it means for them if Lu Zhengdong is transferred out of Anxin.

At this time, Lu Zhengdong's car was driving in front of the world's largest square, and the light in the car was very dim. Lu Zhengdong, who looked solemn, sat deeply in the wide back seat, staring at Yiqiē in the square through the dark window glass.

In the past, every time he passed by here, Lu Zhengdong always had a feeling of excitement, but not tonight. He couldn't get up.

The car went around the square for a while, and Lu Zhengdong arrived at the gate on time, and the guards at the gate had already received a notice from the relevant departments of internal security to release Lu Zhengdong's vehicle. The vehicle quickly drove inside, and Xiao Deng, who was sitting in the co-pilot, saw that there were more than a dozen high-end cars parked there, and what was particularly conspicuous was that there were many high-end cars with military license plates.

He was stunned in his heart, and didn't dare to make a sound, but just glanced at Lu Zhengdong and An Junyi from the rearview mirror.

Although An Junyi's level is much higher than Xiao Deng, he has never been in it, in fact, his reaction is similar to Xiao Deng. It is also like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and she is full of curiosity about the most mysterious and awe-inspiring place in the Republic.

An Junyi couldn't help but think. If it is ancient, it is called a pilgrimage or an audience......

Before the two of them could react, a middle-aged man had already walked out, and walked quickly to their car, leading Mayor Lu in, while he and Xiao Deng were led to a house next to them, and after greeting them politely, they went out, and the two of them sat there a little restrainedly, you look at me and I look at you......

"There was a little bit of an emergency. The leadership of the Central Military Commission is reporting on its work. Please wait a moment, Mayor Lu. ”

The middle-aged man Lu Zhengdong met when he came back last time to participate in the fight against international speculators blocking the Hong Kong dollar, but this time it was completely different from the last time Lu Zhengdong's mood came to the meeting, at that time he was a newborn calf and knew what he could do, and this time he didn't know the reason for the summons, and he didn't have any bottom in his heart.

The other party obviously still remembers him, which also makes Lu Zhengdong's nervous heart feel better.

The middle-aged man led Lu Zhengdong into the row of tall, sturdy and extraordinarily spacious rooms, served tea, and explained with a pleasant face.

Lu Zhengdong thought about it for a while, and there was nothing serious about military affairs at the end of the 2,000 years, but after thinking about it for a while, he remembered a report that all walks of life in the capital commemorated the 50th anniversary of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

But Lu Zhengdong just guessed, so naturally he couldn't ask questions, so he sat there and waited with peace of mind.

After the staff went out, Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but look at the house, the windows of the house were installed with double glazing, and the ground was covered with a dark solid wood floor with water, all of which looked so simple, solemn, bright and atmospheric.

It's just that this "wait" made Lu Zhengdong wait for several hours, and in the early hours of the morning, the staff who brought him in came to persuade him if he could go to the duty bed in another room to rest for a while. The chief, it looks like it won't be over for a while.

"No, no, no. The chiefs are still working, what am I? ”

Lu Zhengdong said busily.

From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, many leaders like to work at night, no matter what the situation is, the leader is working, but he goes to sleep, which is absolutely unavoidable.

Seeing that he insisted, the staff had no choice but to give up and brought him a cushion, meaning that he was half-leaning and half-lying on the sofa and waiting.

When the staff went out, Lu Zhengdong, who had been waiting for several hours, did not have the previous apprehension, Lu Zhengdong could see from his attitude, and once again confirmed that this time the summons at least did not summon him to Xingshi to ask for guilt, otherwise the staff would not be so polite.

Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but guess the real reason for being summoned this time, thought about it for a long time, thought about it a lot, but in the end she didn't know which point could be used, there was really nothing to think about, and picked up the "People's Daily" in front of her and flipped it, in fact, this newspaper Lu Zhengdong had read it many times, but he really had nothing to do, and he had to take this to kill time.

After more than an hour like this, there seemed to be a movement outside, and the subconscious subconsciously told him. The sound of footsteps of several people approached him. Lu Zhengdong quickly stood up. See the people who come in. Lu Zhengdong is also a spirit, and he is actually the No. 5 leader, secretary of the Secretariat, and director of the General Office.

The chief stood in front of Lu Zhengdong and looked at him with a smile, and said with a smile:

"Comrade Zhengdong, I've kept you waiting. It's good to be young, and I'm still so energetic. ”

In an instant, Lu Zhengdong was all sober and hurriedly said:

"Chief, will you take a break? I'll wait a little longer......"

The chief smiled and shook his head. Then he pointed outward and said with a smile:

"After sitting all night, I also want to breathe, you accompany me for a walk."

The night in the capital in autumn was already cold, and as soon as he went out, Lu Zhengdong's whole person was completely awake.

Lu Zhengdong was a step behind and followed behind.

"Not long ago, the Fifth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee was held, and starting from the new century, China will enter the comprehensive construction of a moderately prosperous society

Quickly push forward a new stage of development of modernization. In the next five to ten years. It is an important period for China's economic and social development and an important period for carrying out strategic economic restructuring. It is also an important period for perfecting the socialist market economic system and opening wider to the outside world.

In accordance with the 15 th CPC National Congress's overall outlook and arrangements for China's modernization drive in the new century, the plenary session put forward the main objectives for China's economic and social development during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, and this goal can only be achieved through the joint efforts of the whole party and the people of the whole country......

The spirit of the plenum has been conveyed, and Lu Zhengdong knows it very well, but when the chief says this, he must be trying to lead to something, so he listens patiently:

"To promote economic development and structural adjustment, we must rely on institutional innovation and scientific and technological innovation. You have worked at the grassroots level for a long time, have rich experience in working at the grassroots level, and have a relatively deep economic theory, especially in the work of Anxin, which has lived up to the high expectations of the central government. ”

Lu Zhengdong faintly understood the reason why he was summoned this time, it seems that it is still the problem of the urban economic belt, and he has indeed published an article to discuss the development of the urban economic belt.

At present, as the most active Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta in the mainland, the urban economic belt has initially taken shape, the formation of an urban belt, from which it can be seen that a large urban belt is extremely important to the economic development of a country and region, its scale effect and contribution to the total economic volume is self-evident, but from the level of urbanization, internationalization, and marketization, there is still a big gap compared with other urban economic belts in the world.

The main reason for this is that the current administrative division system is limited, which has caused "internal strife" between many cities in terms of resources and capital. The top priority at the moment is to overcome the obstacles formed by administrative divisions, solve the drawbacks of the "princely economy" that operates independently, and build free economic zones and urban belts without administrative intervention and local protectionism, especially to study how large cities in urban belts drive small and medium-sized cities to be more meaningful, and to study how the "belts" arise and play a role, and how the "belts" can integrate various resources, eliminate trade barriers between cities, realize investment facilitation, and overcome the institutional obstacles brought by administrative divisions to regional economic integration. It will be of practical significance to make the global production supply chain operate at low cost and high efficiency on the mainland.

"I invite you to come this time so that you can talk about the problems of the urban development belt during the group study."

Lu Zhengdong was really stunned when he heard it.

He knew about the things of collective study, which was usually shortly after the conclusion of the plenary session, and most of the content of the study was related to law, and legal experts were invited to "give lectures", the so-called "study the law first and then govern the country."

But Lu Zhengdong remembers that collective learning seems to have only started in 2,000 years, so how could it have appeared in 2,000 years? Could it be that he was mistaken?

From the point of view of the procedure, this kind of collective learning is "first determine the topic, and then select the person".

The General Office, the Political Research Office and relevant ministries and commissions jointly lead the organization, first negotiate an intentional topic or a high-level topic in person, and then report to the Central Committee for approval, and then determine the keynote speaker after approval.

If you want to go here, you must first be the best expert in a certain field, and you must also be reliable in politics. Moreover, the vast majority of experts and scholars who can stand on the high-level podium have numerous international and domestic honors. Most of the lecturers have a background of studying abroad or serving as overseas visiting scholars.

And he is an official, not a member of a research institute or an academic institution, so how can he teach a class to a leader?

"Chief. This one...... I wasn't mentally prepared at all. And as a decision. Objective, accurate facts need to be heard. And I'm a government official, it's ......"

In fact, from the State Council to each ministry has its own expert group, but the problem with them is that they are too closely related to the government to be objective.

Lu Zhengdong said matter-of-factly.

"You don't need to worry about this, you can take care of your affairs directly, and you will also have a respected professor in the legal field with you, as an associate lecturer. As a senior cadre of the party. Shouldering the mission of focusing on dà, it is necessary to operate and transform the entire system in accordance with the needs of the law of economic development, and it is also necessary to learn and recharge...... How's it going, is it stressful and do you have the confidence to complete this task? ”

According to the popular saying of the grassroots nowadays, such a thing is simply a lot of pressure, but Lu Zhengdong saw that the chief said this, and asked him to complete it as a task, because the above had already made up his mind, so he also said:

"It's a lot of pressure, but since it's an organizational task, I promise to do it resolutely."

"Hmm. Well, don't have any worries. If you want to let go and give full play to your best level, this matter will be decided, and the comrades of the General Office and the Political Research Office will give you an explanation of the specific matters. Note that this matter is to be kept strictly confidential. ”

The chief's conversation lasted for about half an hour, after which the leaders of the office gave him another explanation, and Lu Zhengdong returned to the accommodation arranged by the staff.

Early the next morning, Lu Zhengdong began to work.

This kind of work is certainly considered a privilege, so the competition is fierce. Lu Zhengdong knows that there is more than one research group, which is quite competitive, whoever is better prepared will be let go, and he can also be an emergency candidate in unexpected situations.

In such a situation, no one is willing to admit defeat, so they are all full of strength.

The first step is to write the first draft, which is attended by the pen of the General Office and the Political Research Office, as well as economic authorities.

It's a painful process, with several drafts having to be revised repeatedly before they can be finalized, and every sentence and formulation has to be carefully considered.

Before the official start of the lecture, there will be three rounds of trial lectures, and the members of the research group, officials of relevant ministries and commissions, and the person in charge of the political research office will be present to listen to the lecture. From the content of the lecture to the language expression, including pronunciation, intonation, tone, speed of speech, etc., there is a special person to provide guidance, and the teacher must practice until all aspects are satisfied.

And this is only a short week, with a tight time and heavy tasks are not enough to describe, in addition to sleeping, everyone is discussing together during meals, and even going to the toilet is a trot, there is no time to think about other things at all, and when the day of class is directly on.

The lecture is set up in a conference room, outsiders may have a lot of imagination about the environment, in fact, it is very simple inside, and the same is true for the lecture venue, where there are old buildings, but very simple and elegant.

The seats inside are made up of a circle of concentric oval tables. Under normal circumstances, in order from the outside to the inside and from the back to the front, the leaders of various ministries and commissions, members of the political * * bureau, and standing committee members are in order. Chief No. 1 sat at the front of the innermost circle, directly opposite the speaker.

Lu Zhengdong was joined by a jurisprudence who had participated in the drafting of the two constitutions of the republic. One old and one young, such an arrangement should have some intentions, one is a master of law, representing a kind of authority, and he; Such a younger person represents the new force.

The class was scheduled to start at 2 p.m., but the Standing Committee and more than 100 other attendees arrived before 2 p.m., so it started early.

The lecture notes were printed into an enlarged version, and each person had one copy, and Lu Zhengdong was the one who spoke later, so he also sat at the back and listened to the master of law, which was also a learning opportunity to sharpen his guns.

Every time you talk about turning the page, you can always hear the sound of turning the page, and the outside world may think that this kind of class is a retreat, but in fact it is very practical, and you have mastered the materials and examples, not to make a report, let alone report work. It's like discussing problems between colleagues, and there are no scruples.

Lu Zhengdong found that the leaders looked at the manuscript and listened, very seriously, and sketched on the speech script from time to time.

According to the previous procedure, the whole study time is generally about two hours. The two speakers will each speak for 40 minutes according to the established plan, followed by half an hour for discussion and questions.

Lu Zhengdong found that the leaders were far from what he imagined. The angle from which questions are raised during the discussion is very realistic. And there is nothing taboo about the question. In their eyes, there are no sensitive topics, there are no forbidden areas, and most of the discussions are hot issues, and the discussions are very lively.

The leaders are very kind, which makes Lu Zhengdong feel a little relaxed, but the questions discussed or asked are very in-depth, which also makes Lu Zhengdong still a little pressured.

So much so that his playing time was delayed, after Lu Zhengdong finished speaking. The discussion and questions were also very lively, but fortunately, Lu Zhengdong did have the goods in his stomach, and he was well prepared, and he still completed the task very smoothly.

And in a certain courtyard in the south where it is as warm as spring, Old Man Yun is also looking at the north fixedly, he left from the capital on purpose, and at this time he is also waiting for the result of landing Lu Zhengdong, in fact, he set up an ambush at Lu Zhengdong - when Lu Zhengdong asked, he did not tell him the truth.

If Lu Zhengdong wants to go one step further, it will not be easy in a short period of time. For people like Lu Zhengdong, many people's subconscious first impression is this: young people still need more exercise before they can go up. For a variety of reasons. Some comrades have long been unaccustomed to and unwilling to use capable young people, and there are also those who are afraid of taking risks and put young cadres like Lu Zhengdong in a higher position; if something goes wrong, in the end it will not only hurt the reputation and credibility that those who have worked hard to support and promote Lu Zhengdong, but what is even more serious is that the development and time of a place have been delayed because of this, and they always have to bear responsibility.

Old Man Yun is also worried about this, but through his understanding, Anxin's overall evaluation of Lu Zhengdong is good, and they all think that Ma Yang is a more upright person and a practical person. However, just being decent and practical still couldn't prompt Old Man Yun to make up his mind in the end. Because it is one thing to be decent and practical, and it is another thing to be able to control the overall situation, after all, the secretary of the municipal party committee is the number one and has to be responsible for a place.

It wasn't until he conducted another investigation of Lu Zhengdong from his own channels that he found that Lu Zhengdong was indeed able to grasp the overall situation in Anxin, which prompted him to finally make up his mind.

But if you want Lu Zhengdong to sit in the position of secretary of the municipal party committee in a short time, this matter can only succeed, not fail.

If we do not do a good job of laying the groundwork and guiding them well, these comrades (who are not in the minority) will have opinions, and even have a negative impact on Lu Zhengdong.

Therefore, if you want Lu Zhengdong to sit in the position of secretary of the listing committee, you must gradually shift the focus of the issue from "whether to use or not" to whether Lu Zhengdong is worth reusing, and to push him up openly......

After Lu Zhengdong completed the task, before returning to Anxin, he went to meet with his uncle Yun Jiangmin, who came to the capital for a meeting.

"Zhengdong, congratulations and congratulations......"

"What's there to congratulate, to be honest, it was a chore, this cold day, after speaking, my vest was all soaked."

Lu Zhengdong said with a smile. Despite this, Lu Zhengdong knew that this experience should be of great benefit to his future development.

Yun Jiangmin smiled:

"Do you think it's worth it to change a secretary of the municipal party committee in a cold sweat?"

"Huh? Uncle, what do you mean by that? ”

Yun Jiangmin smiled:

"That's not what I mean the old man......"

Lu Zhengdong was a little incredulous:

"Can't you? I think the old man means that he wants me to exercise again, he is afraid of pulling out the seedlings to help me grow. ”

Lu Zhengdong did not have any scruples when he spoke in front of his uncle.

"The old man originally didn't have such a plan, I think you might as well exercise in the mayor's position, but not long ago, his only remaining old comrade-in-arms went to another one, the old man went to a trip, and after coming back, he was silent for a few days, the old man seemed to have a lot of feelings, and felt that time was running out, so he made up his mind."

As soon as Lu Zhengdong heard Yun Jiangmin say this, it seemed that this matter was true, and he groaned for a while and asked:

"That's where the uncle ......"

Lu Zhengdong actually wanted to ask his grandfather what his attitude was towards Yun Weixi.

"You also know that your grandfather has always been more partial, but some people don't have such an opportunity, the old man is of course to speak, but this influence is still limited, to be honest, you can go, the key is still in yourself." (To be continued......)
