Zhou Shuming was not polite on the phone, and said directly:

"Governor Zhengdong, I just received a notice from the Central Office, I have to rush to the capital urgently, and I want to communicate with you about something......

Lu Zhengdong was a little surprised, it was a bit unusual for the supreme leader to summon him so urgently.

Zhou Shuming mainly asked some development questions in case he could ask, and it seemed that Zhou Shuming didn't know when he would be able to come back from the capital this time, and some work things still needed to be explained to him.

Lu Zhengdong concisely talked about what Zhou Shuming needed to know, and Zhou Shuming hung up the phone in a hurry, obviously because time was a little short.

In fact, not only Lu Zhengdong on the phone was very surprised, but on the other end of the phone, Zhou Shuming, as the party concerned, was also a little surprised.

But soon Zhou Shuming felt that such a summons was expected.

He was surprised because he had been in charge of the work of the provincial party committee in an all-round way for several years as the number one leader, and he had never been summoned urgently.

Not only him, but even the majority of provincial and municipal leaders, I am afraid that they have not been summoned so urgently.

In the past few years, he has been admonishing himself that in such a high position, of course, he must try his best to look up to the heavens and the earth, handle it calmly, lift weights lightly, and be at ease.

However, shouldering such a heavy burden, the upper part of the central government must be responsible, and the lower level must be responsible for the people, and we must be tired of all the eggs, and we must not hold a mentality like facing the abyss to treat it conscientiously, and at any time, in any matter, we must not be negligent, we must be cautious, and we must really be able to grasp the entire situation of Beihu. Only stable dìng situation. Beihu Lake will have a good development environment.

He felt that he had always been. is insisting on doing this, and Beihu has maintained a relatively stable dìng in the past two years, so once he received the order to be summoned urgently, he was still surprised, suddenly.

But on the other hand, for some time now, he had a premonition that something was going to happen -- and something big was going to happen. From the investigation and investigation of the general manager to the adjustment of some important leaders of the Beihu Provincial Party Committee by the Central Committee, it can be seen that Zhou Shuming always vaguely knew that this day was coming.

The root of the matter is still the lag in the development of Beihu, he has been in Beihu in recent years, although nothing has happened in the province, and there is stability, but as another task assigned to him by the central government, the development has not improved much.

Stability is the foundation, and development is the goal. These two are originally complementary to each other, only stable dìng. If the development does not go up, it will be difficult to sustain steadily, and if there is only development, there is no stability, and development is also difficult to last, and a series of recent events in the province can fully illustrate this point, Beihu is a lame duck, which is probably not satisfactory.

And Zhang Xinwen's incident was a fuse, prompting the top level to finally make up their minds, no matter what, as the squad leader of the leading group of the Beihu Provincial Party Committee, he has an unshirkable responsibility for this.

Perhaps he went to the people of the past who had taken the yellow crane to go, and the yellow crane tower was empty here, and the yellow crane was gone forever, and the white clouds were empty for thousands of years.

This time, maybe going is a matter of job handover, so everything that should be prepared must be prepared, he Zhou Shuming is willing to take responsibility for what he failed to do well, and implore the latecomers to learn the lessons they should learn from it, and really handle this mess of Beihu.

Although he had a certain psychological preparation and was able to think like this, he still regretted such a sudden departure......

Zhou Shuming was also full of thoughts on the plane to Beijing......

And Zhou Shuming left without contact with the province from the evening to the next night, and Zhou Shuming did not report the situation to the province for such a long time, and the province naturally had all kinds of speculations.

This makes many cadres in the province also cause all kinds of waves at any point during the sensitive period, especially the number one, which affects the future of thousands of cadres, and naturally it is easier to cause waves.

Zhan Jidong had been anxiously waiting in his office for any news that might come back from the capital.

After Zhang Xinwen's matter came out, when all kinds of rumors about Zhou Shuming first began to circulate privately in the provincial capital, he had already told an old friend in the capital to pay attention to collecting movements in this regard.

As soon as Zhou Shuming took off, he hurriedly called the capital to mention the urgent summons, and asked him to immediately use the relationship he had established in the capital over the years to collect the specific information about the summons, and asked him not to let go of any details.

Although it is impossible to know the news in the red * wall, it is impossible for Zhou Shuming to have any changes, it is impossible not to have any preparations, such things will always see some signs and clues in some departments, and through these signs and clues, you can guess a thing or two about the purpose of this summons.

What made Zhan Jidong uneasy was that in the past, the other party could always get something of value back through various channels.

But this time, the other party is also powerless.

The time has reached the early hours of the morning, and it has been more than 20 hours since Secretary Zhou arrived in the capital, but there is still no news in the capital.

frowned on this matter, and felt very strange in my heart, the leaders of the Central Committee would talk to Zhou Shuming for so long?

Impossible.

When Zhan Jidong was getting up and pondering, his lover Liu Shu called him and asked tightly:

"Why hasn't Secretary Zhou come back yet? Is he coming back or not? ”

She told Zhan Jidong that since dinner, people kept coming to the house. One dial after another, six or seven have already come, and at this moment, there are still two groups of guests waiting in the living room, and there are even people who have rushed from the city below overnight.

"Why?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Tell me something. How do I know they're coming to our house? ”

Zhan Jidong didn't get the news for a long time, and he was already a little anxious in his heart, and he was even more impatient when he heard his lover talk about it.

Zhan Jidong knew very well why these people came to the door at this time, these people must have heard the rumors and came to inquire about the news.

If Zhou Shuming leaves Beihu, it is self-evident what it means to these people, and this time is to get accurate news. It's good to prepare for the advance and retreat.

Zhan Jidong immediately raised his voice several degrees:

"Confused! How can you receive them at this time? You immediately ask those comrades to leave the house......"

Liu Shu hesitated and reminded again:

"There are two old comrades...... But the secretary of the municipal party committee ......"

Zhan Jidong immediately interrupted her:

"Whatever it is. Politely invite them away. You listen to me, from now on, no matter who comes, don't open the door, now is a sensitive time, you are a little sensitive, don't make trouble for me at this time......"

Zhan Jidong hung up the phone after speaking, if it was really Secretary Zhou who was leaving. The change in Nabei Lake is too big, how should he deal with it? He couldn't help but think about all of this......

And Ma Xinzhong is also as concerned about this matter as Zhan Jidong, even more than Zhan Jidong, if the Central Committee really thinks that Zhou Shuming is no longer suitable for the post of secretary of the Beihu Provincial Party Committee, then he also has a chance.

The pronoun in front of Governor Lu Zhengdong has not been removed, and it is impossible for him to take up the post of secretary, as the secretary of the party and the masses, he is the most promising person in the province to be promoted to this position according to the ranking of the party.

Of course, Ma Xinzhong also knows that the Central Committee has summoned Zhou Shuming so urgently, and it is very likely that the Central Committee has already had other candidates. But even so. Whoever is in him must do his best to fight for it, after all, there is a world of difference between the deputy secretary and the secretary. Only by sitting in the position of secretary can you truly display your ambitions.

Ma Xinzhong also learned about Zhou Shuming's presence in the capital through various channels, but what made him also wonder was that no one with a good relationship in the capital could know any valuable news about this matter......

Lu Zhengdong was also concerned about this matter, even he couldn't get the news from the red wall so quickly.

However, he also has a way to speculate on why such a summon is, Lu Zhengdong's first thought is different from Zhan Jidong, his first thought is whether there is an emergency in that place, and whether the central government is ready to transfer Zhou Shuming to emergency firefighting.

Although Zhou Shuming belongs to a more conservative type of people, he has rich experience and is old-fashioned, and in some special times and special places, this type of person is still needed.

It's just that Lu Zhengdong understands that there is nothing wrong with the situation, so the emergency firefighting will be ruled out, and if this possibility is ruled out, it is not very likely that Zhou Shuming will be transferred away in a short time.

Because he has not been in Beihu for a long time, and from the original consideration of Zhong*yang, he also hopes to open the situation of Beihu with such a match, and there is no irreconcilable contradiction between the two.

Moreover, if it is to be adjusted, no matter which procedure it is, it is impossible not to go through the Central Organization Department, and there is no such movement on the side of the Central * Organization Department, which can also rule out such a possibility in a certain process.

So what is the reason for this urgent summons?

Is there something wrong with some important cadre in Beihu Province that needs to be taken action from above?

It's just that this is unlikely, because even if there is a problem with an important cadre in Beihu Province, it is the leadership of the Commission for Discipline Inspection who will come forward.

Lu Zhengdong thought about it, and probably still felt that this summons was related to the matter of Beihu.

In any case, the essence of these phenomena is that the cadres of Beihu have signs of instability, and such a thing, as a leader and squad leader, should be responsible, and there should be a certain deviation in some governance measures.

The top level felt that it was necessary to point out or remind Zhou Shuming, and it was necessary to have a more in-depth exchange with Zhou Shuming, explain some things thoroughly, and let Beihu make great strides in the right direction......

Lu Zhengdong thought about it and felt that this was the most likely......

Lu Zhengdong's speculation is really close to the truth.

Zhou Shuming arrived on time, and the guards had already received a notice from the relevant departments of internal security to let his car go. When the car drove inside, Zhou Shuming saw that more than a dozen cars were parked in front of the main hall.

Zhou Shuming was stunned in his heart, and before he could react, a middle-aged man had already walked out of the hall and walked quickly to their car. Zhou Shuming knew that he was a staff member of the general office, so he hurriedly got out of the car to agree.

Under the guidance of the staff member, the car slowly drove to a stop in front of a row of bungalows not far away.

"There has been a bit of an emergency, and the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government are reporting to the General Secretary and several members of the Standing Committee in Beijing. Please wait a moment. ”

The middle-aged man led Zhou Shuming into the room. Thorough tea. Explain kindly.

Zhou Shuming nodded. Looking at such a posture, it should be a very important foreign affairs, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the International Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee jointly reported on the work, and it is estimated that it also involves international party affairs exchanges.

Zhou Shuming suddenly remembered that the International Conference of Asian Political Parties would be held in Beijing not long after.

It is said that representatives of dozens of political parties and political organizations from more than 30 countries in Asia will attend the meeting in Beijing......

Zhou Shuming thought about it. While looking at the room, it was not that he had never been here, but basically the places where he appeared were conference rooms, and he really had never entered such a room.

The windows of the house are installed with double glazing, and the floor is covered with a dark solid wood floor with water, without those bells and whistles, all of them look so simple, steady, and bright, but there is an indescribable awe-inspiring feeling, and there is also a mood that makes people a little impetuous and restless to become peaceful.

This "wait" is actually a few hours. It seems that things are estimated to be a little tricky, so the staff member of the general office came to persuade Zhou Shuming. It seemed that it would not be over for a while, so I asked him to rest for a while on the duty bed in another room.

Zhou Shuming can't agree, many leaders of the republic have the habit of working at night, but the general secretary and the leading comrades of the Standing Committee are still working, and he goes to sleep, what is this?

And he really doesn't feel sleepy at all now, although by this time Zhou Shuming has calmed down a lot and is relatively calm, but he still has things hidden in his heart, so he took advantage of this time to think about a lot of things, thinking about the gains and losses since he was in charge of Beihu in the past few years.

Seeing that he was very persistent, the staff member of the general office smiled and sighed softly, and did not persuade him any more, but just brought a cushion for Zhou Shuming to use, meaning that he would wait on the sofa half-leaning and half-lying on the sofa. After all, it is also an elderly person, so staying up late may not be able to eat, so it is always more comfortable.

After waiting for more than an hour, the staff of the general office came in again and asked him to go out, saying that the chief wanted to see him.

After Zhou Shuming followed the staff out, he found that the chief *secretary* was already standing outside the hall, and hurriedly greeted him and said:

"General * Secretary, you have been busy all night, you still have to pay attention to your body, take a rest first, I will ...... at any time"

The chief secretary shook his head with a smile and said:

"I've been sitting for so long, I want to be active, let's just walk around and talk."

Zhou Shuming followed slightly behind half a position, but the chief * secretary didn't speak for a while, Zhou Shuming estimated that he was thinking about how to phrase his mouth, since the chief * secretary is not easy to speak, he still took the initiative, thought about it, and finally said:

"General * Secretary, I have not done a good job in Bei Lake, and I am willing to take responsibility and resign from the post of secretary of the Central Committee because of the trust of the general secretary and the central government......

Zhou Shuming opened his mouth with great difficulty, but when he opened his mouth, his state of mind was much more relaxed, since it was time to face it, he could only face it calmly.

The secretary turned his head and smiled slightly, looked at him in a daze for a while before saying:

"I'm thinking about what happened just now, and there are some things that need to be digested a little more."

After a pause, he said:

"The development of Beihu in the previous stage is indeed a little different from the expectations of the central government, and it is precisely because of this that the central government has adjusted the leadership of the Beihu Provincial Party Committee, the purpose of which is to strengthen the strength in this regard.

You have such an idea, I think it seems to be responsible, but in fact it is not responsible, although Comrade Zhengdong has worked in Beihu, but after all, he has not faced the whole province of Beihu, Comrade Zhengdong has not been to Beihu for a long time, Comrade Zhengdong just wants to charge into battle, there must be a master behind him to press the formation, he has the bottom of his heart.

At this time, you are thinking of shirking responsibility, of avoiding the important and trivializing, and of lacking a sense of historical responsibility in the face of the overall situation......"

The general *book* is criticizing him, but in Zhou Shuming's ears, it is as wonderful as fairy music, originally he was very sure that he was going to leave this position, but now it is not the same thing at all, which makes him both moved and a little excited.

"Beihu in the previous stage of the work really needs to seriously sum up the lessons, the problem is mainly focused on the problem of development, and the problem of development, in fact, is the problem of cadres, everything is driven out of people, the same is true of development, how to make the best use of their talents, put the most suitable people in the most suitable positions, use good people, use the right people, especially leading cadres and important positions at all levels, these cadres are the leaders, but also to choose well, this should be the key to solving the problem of development, and to solve these problems, The most important thing is to solve the ideological and conceptual problems of you, the squad leader, and the ideological problems and conceptual problems of the members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and the conceptual problems ......."

After another pause, he continued:

"I fully believe that you and the people of the Beihu Provincial Party Committee will be able to solve this problem, promote the development of various undertakings with the change in employment, and bring the work of Beihu Province to a higher level......

The conversation lasted for more than 40 minutes, and basically the chief secretary was talking about it, and he was listening, and the general secretary had no intention of listening to his report......

Originally, the prime minister was also preparing to talk with him today, but because the prime minister had temporary priorities to deal with, left the capital, and would not return for a day or two, Zhou Shuming decided to use such a time to completely calm down and understand the spirit of the general secretary's conversation with him without being disturbed......

It's just that Zhou Shuming didn't know that his undisturbed thinking made the cadres of Beihu float in their minds...... (To be continued......)
