Now that he knew that Lu Zhengdong was coming, Ma Yinghua couldn't stay at home anymore, while explaining to Qing:

"Hurry up and clean up your home!"

One side had already gone out of the door and rushed to the edge of the elevator, and when he saw that the elevator was still swishing up, he didn't wait for the elevator and ran downstairs quickly.

As soon as he rushed out of the building, he saw that Lu Zhengdong had already gotten out of the car and was holding an umbrella, and seemed to be waiting for the people in the car in front of him.

When Ma Yinghua saw the people getting out of the car in front of him, he was even more surprised and a little excited.

The one who walked down from the car in front was Zhou Shuming, secretary of the provincial *party committee*!

Ma Yinghua hurriedly greeted the two and entered his house.

After a while, Yu Qing came to serve tea, Lu Zhengdong asked Zhou Shuming with a smile how it tasted, raised his head again and said:

"Last time, I said that I would definitely come to taste your craftsmanship if I had the opportunity, and I invited Secretary Zhou this time, hehe......"

Zhou Shuming also smiled and took a sip lightly:

"It's been a long time since I've drunk such delicious tea, which shows that the hostess is Lan Xinhui......"

Ma Yinghua saw that the two of them praised Yu Qing, and naturally understood that the real reason was definitely not this, Yu Qing's tea art was indeed good, but the two such heavyweights came to his snail house together, definitely not to drink this tea, but to have extremely important things to talk to him, just for the next extremely important conversation, the two of them are trying to adjust the mentality and atmosphere between the guests and guests, so as to pave the way for the next formal conversation of Yan sù or Yan zhòng.

After Zhou Shuming and Lu Zhengdong had said the same, the atmosphere also rose, and Ma Yinghua hurriedly glanced at Yu Qing. Yu Qing hurriedly said to Zhou and Lu:

"You talk. You talk. ”

So he went back to his room.

After Yu Qing left. Zhou Shuming and Lu Zhengdong were really silent.

To avoid unnecessary embarrassment. Ma Yinghua picked up an apple and peeled it.

Lu Zhengdong hurriedly waved his hand at him:

"Comrade Yinghua. Don't be busy with those things, sit down, sit down, let's just have tea. ”

Saying that, he motioned for Ma Yinghua to sit down, and then took another sip of tea, but he still didn't speak, and after a while, Lu Zhengdong opened his mouth again:

"I listened to the comrades of the High School of Education. Did you call in sick and go to the hospital for a check-up? How's the body? ”

"It's fine. In fact, it was not a physical problem, but the knot that I didn't figure out how to untie An Nan's problem at that time, so I was unwilling to eat, I couldn't sleep, and I was a little anxious......"

Ma Yinghua replied frankly.

Over there, Zhou Shuming nodded approvingly, and exchanged glances with Lu Zhengdong.

Ma Yinghua can also see that Governor Lu asked Secretary Zhou to come with him this time, and he must have said a lot of things about him in front of Secretary Zhou, otherwise there would be no possibility of such a joint night visit. At the same time, this is also a strong signal, a person who wants to really say goodbye to the position of inspector of the high * education hall. Although Ma Yinghua still doesn't know where the province will put him, it must be a very important department and unit related to Annan.

Ma Yinghua guessed well, but Lu Zhengdong was able to move Zhou Shuming and come to confirm Ma Yinghua, but the effort was much beyond Ma Yinghua's imagination.

For the use of a cadre with equally outstanding advantages and disadvantages, even if Zhou Shuming agrees with his opinion and pushes Ma Yinghua out, with him, the provincial governor, pushing forward, Zhou Shuming is naturally unwilling to go to the front, but retreats as much as possible.

This is the most instinctive reaction of leading cadres, especially senior leading cadres. Without him, the use of such a cadre with equally outstanding advantages and disadvantages is actually full of great risks and controversies.

However, once the expected effect is not achieved, there is a problem or deviation, all kinds of opinions and even accusations and criticisms will follow, Zhou Shuming out of the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, he is unwilling to come forward, I can advance or retreat, and it is reasonable to make such a reaction.

However, this is what Lu Zhengdong does not want to see, without the clear attitude of Zhou Shuming, the number one, many things will be very difficult to do, even if Ma Yinghua is pushed to the position he wants to push, Ma Yinghua is very reluctant and awkward, and it will be difficult to do things smoothly.

So he must make Zhou Shuming clearly stated, for this, he must break the illusion in Zhou Shuming's heart, first of all, An Nan's problem is not only a problem in the province now, but the prescribed actions of the central government, this matter is not done well, other leaders in the province still have room for maneuver, and Zhou Shuming and him, as the first and second in command in the province, have no way to retreat, even if Zhou Shuming puts him in front, it will not help.

Second, he put all kinds of viewpoints on the Annan issue on the table, made clear all kinds of ideas for solving the Annan issue, and submitted together with Ma Yinghua plans made by other departments and personnel on how to solve the Annan issue; then, he entrusted Zhou Ruoshan and the comrades of the Policy Research Office to hold a series of forums among the retired veteran comrades and in-service leading cadres, and together with Zhou Shuming, he summoned the comrades of the Provincial Planning Commission and the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission to discuss them.

The Provincial Party Committee and Organization Department are also in full swing in the selection of suitable candidates for the main leaders of the Annan team.

In such a comparison, although there was no complete agreement on whose point of view is more suitable and whose method is more conducive to solving the problem of Annan was not completely agreed upon in the heated debate, the main opinions were gradually clarified, and the package proposed by Ma Yinghua to propose and solve Annan was the most feasible of all.

Among the candidates submitted by the Organization Department, those who have the ability may not have experience in managing large enterprises, and those who have experience in the management of large enterprises are particularly important to Annan, because to solve the problem of Annan, Annan Mining Group can not help but solve it, which makes many people excluded.

Doing so is to clarify the work ideas. Let him see clearly that according to Ma Yinghua's ideas, at least some of the problems that An Nan currently has can be solved. In the end, Zhou Shuming was prompted to consider the possibility of putting Ma Yinghua on the secretary of the Annan Municipal Party Committee.

And in order to examine whether Ma Yinghua has the ability to bear such a burden. Zhou Shuming also needs to make one last confirmation, so he has this tea trip tonight.

As for this kind of conversation, (or it is more appropriate to call it a special investigation), it should be placed in Ma Yinghua's home, not the provincial * party committee or other places, Zhou Shuming obviously did not want to make a fuss about this matter before making a final confirmation of Ma Yinghua, he and Lu Zhengdong came here, without a secretary, and the driver and guards went together.

The conversation lasted for a long time. The main thing is that Ma Yinghua is talking, what makes Zhou Shuming particularly happy is that through the most direct contact, Zhou Shuming's understanding of Ma Yinghua is very different from hearsay information, undoubtedly, Ma Yinghua is a little stubborn, a little too impulsive, but also very bold and the ability to propose measures to solve the problem, and at the same time there is a very determination to implement these measures, and more importantly, Ma Yinghua has several years of mayoral experience. Although being a mayor may not be a qualified secretary of the municipal party committee, it can be seen from some things that Ma Yinghua has come out of. Ma Yinghua still has a strong vision and ability to coordinate the overall situation. While seeing this, this also prompted Zhou Shuming to make up his final mind......

But for the outside world, there have been many versions of the interpretation of the new secretary of the municipal party committee of Annan City, but in their opinion, Ma Yinghua is basically hopeless, because judging from the recent actions of the province, the province is going to use Ma Yinghua, but it is estimated that the destination is to be the deputy director of the provincial policy research office, of course, there must be a department-level bracket behind, which is from Zhou Shuming and Lu Zhengdong repeatedly asked him to preside over the policy research office's discussion on Annan's policy, so that they made such a judgment.

Not only these outsiders, but even Zhan Jidong couldn't figure out what Zhou Shuming was thinking, he knew that Lu Zhengdong was pushing Ma Yinghua, according to normal times, Zhou Shuming would never let Lu Zhengdong get involved in the adjustment of the local leader like the secretary of the municipal party committee and the important provincial leader, because once this opening is opened, it will be difficult to block.

But Zhou Shuming's attitude is not as firm as before, and it seems very ** and vague.

I can't figure out Secretary Zhou's main intentions, which seems to be a bit scratching his head for Zhan Jidong, whether Ma Yinghua's appointment is just a trivial matter in Zhan Jidong's opinion, and more importantly, what is behind this matter, whether Zhou Shuming was forced to make heavy concessions to Lu Zhengdong, or because Zhou Shuming and Lu Zhengdong had the same goal on the issue of An Nan, and temporarily reached some kind of tacit understanding.

These two ideas seem to be no different from the outside world, but in the eyes of insiders like him, they are two completely different directions, so you must not express the wrong attitude in such a thing, and if you express the wrong attitude, it will be extremely passive......

Zhan Jidong thought about it and hesitated, and finally dialed the phone number of Zhou Shuming's secretary Liang Xianxue......

Liang Xianxue was taking advantage of the time to deal with the backlog of several files in the past two days, and he didn't remember on the memo board that there was anything particularly urgent that he needed to stay in this building.

During the period before and after dinner, the provincial party committee building always seemed exceptionally empty. But after sitting in the dimly lit office for a while, I couldn't get up, and I always felt that there was something left to do. A sense of apprehension, a sense of uneasiness, a sense of instability...... Faintly stirring his heart. I don't know why, lately, this feeling has always been harassing and confusing him.

And at this moment, the phone on the desk suddenly rang. He was stunned, and his heart beat suddenly. This is to be expected. He knew who was calling. He understood that he was waiting for the call if he was delaying his departure, but he was a little scared...... I'm afraid it's coming...... After hesitating for a few seconds, he grabbed the phone.

Sure enough, the call was from Zhan Jidong, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. Recently, Deputy Secretary Zhan always called him when Secretary Zhou was away.

“…… Still busy? ”

Deputy Secretary Zhan asked calmly.

"There are some things that need to be dealt with......"

Liang Xianxue immediately picked up the phone, dragged the long line, and hurriedly closed the office door while answering continuously.

In fact, Deputy Secretary Zhan came to Secretary Zhou in the afternoon, and the two had already met, and he also went over to say hello to Secretary Zhan. But Secretary Zhan still had to ask like this, as if he was paying special attention to him.

"It's hard, it's very hard to serve the leader."

Zhan Jidong exchanged a few words. Then he said softly: "Secretary Zhou has too many things to worry about recently. You're going to have to keep up the good work. Do a good job of service ......"

Liang Xianxue knew what Secretary Zhan was saying this, obviously Secretary Zhan knew that Secretary Zhou was going out, and he didn't bring anyone with him, including him and the secretary general.

And although he, the secretary, did not follow Secretary Zhou, he must have known some of the situation.

"Secretary Zhou basically didn't explain. He just answered a phone call and went out, and I wasn't there when I answered the phone......"

"That's good. Very good. When you come up to me and sit down, let's talk casually. ”

Liang Xianxue didn't answer immediately, although he knew that Secretary Zhou was not in the office, he instinctively glanced in the direction where Secretary Zhou's office was located, and then said in a loud voice:

"Okay...... Ok ......"

"Do you have time now, can you come over now?"

"Okay...... Ok ......"

Liang Xianxue agreed, but he promised on his lips, but he couldn't move it on his legs. He just sat still. His heart was filled with weakness.

He knows, as the secretary of the provincial party secretary. He should not have frequent contacts and excessively close ties with other leading comrades of the provincial party committee except for the needs of work.

In particular, having contact with other leaders behind one's own back is a particularly taboo thing in political life at this level -- although there are no explicit stipulations on such "work discipline," it is a "rule" that has long been agreed upon in this kind of high-level political life.

Everyone is so consciously abiding by it, maintaining the harmony and thoughtfulness necessary for this level of political life.

But Liang Xianxue still hesitantly crossed this "threshold".

He had time and reason to comfort himself, and I did it for work......

Yes, he said that, not without a little truth. In the past one or two years, all kinds of signs have shown that if Secretary Zhou leaves office, Ma Xinzhong is more and more likely to take over as secretary of the provincial party committee, and Zhan Jidong is very likely to take over as governor, and it is not impossible to even take over as secretary of the provincial party committee.

And more importantly, Zhan Jidong won the trust of Secretary Zhou, many things were nominally Ma Xinzhong temporarily presiding over the work when Secretary Zhou was not in Beihu, but in fact it was Zhan Jidong, for the sake of work, he should also be allowed to know more about the situation.

Moreover, after Secretary Zhou leaves, he will not immediately become a character who is frozen, which will still be very beneficial to himself in the future, but no matter how he convinces himself, he still knows very well that no matter from which point of view, he will still strictly violate discipline -- you must know that he has gone to Deputy Secretary Zhan's office more than once to "visit the door." But...... This is Deputy Secretary Zhan who took the initiative to invite him to sit down, and he ...... Can he refuse, every time he hesitates.

After hesitating, I still have to go. Bringing a few copies of the text that could have been delivered at this time, or not at this time, Liang Xianxue finally got up and walked to Deputy Secretary Zhan's office......

Zhan Jidong's office is always arranged so distinctively, which is the same as his whole temperament, which has a bookish atmosphere.

He knew that Zhan Jidong never used a secretary to draft a speech for him. In particular, for those important speeches, he would find a large number of reference materials and reference books just as he did when he wrote his graduation thesis in school, and he would also find some comrades who had studied this topic for a long time, and when time permitted, he would do some discussions and exchanges with them as much as possible.

He will argue with them and induce them to put forward various counter-arguments to him, so that he can generate a very clear and powerful logical idea and direction of the problem in the final stage. He always believed that the main duty of the "deputy" was to serve as a senior councilor to the number one who had the final decision. Therefore, in any case, a competent and excellent deputy should attach great importance to and be very good at grasping the situation, studying problems, preparing plans, providing ideas, and, of course, having a fairly comprehensive administrative ability, to carry out the work ideas set by the top leader. Even when he became a high-ranking "deputy" such as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, he has been given considerable "decision-making power" in many fields and departments under the division of labor, and he believes that the basic nature of his work has not changed.

Liang Xianxue knew for quite some time. Zhou Shuming admired his strong interest and profound skills in researching problems. This makes him particularly vivid in politics. It's extraordinary. There is a rare scholarly spirit.

Zhan Jidong is looking for Liang Xianxue today, because he wants to get to the bottom and understand exactly Zhou Shuming's attitude towards Ma Yinghua, more precisely, Lu Zhengdong's attitude, or Lu Zhengdong's next period of time, Secretary Zhou will adopt a mysterious strategy towards Lu Zhengdong.

“…… It's not quite clear how Secretary Zhou is going to deal with this matter in the end. But one thing is clear, he is already asking people to figure out the situation of Ma Yinghua. He explained the matter to the Organization Department, as well as the people in the Policy Research Office. However, there is still some hesitation in the attitude, and I have not decided to deprecate or enable ......"

Liang Xianxue replied.

If at the moment before walking into Zhan Jidong's office, he was still hesitant and apprehensive about whether he should come to see Zhan Jidong, once he sat in front of the deputy secretary, all those hesitations and apprehensions suddenly weakened and even disappeared.

I will involuntarily respond to Song Haifeng's every request and answer his every question. Every time he came to see Deputy Secretary Zhan, Liang Xianxue would have this feeling.

Zhan Jidong does have such a very affinity and deterrent personal charm.

Many people in the agency have this feeling: they can't talk to Deputy Secretary Zhan in person. Just talk to him face to face, no matter how inconsistent you were with him. You will identify with him and follow his train of thought. You don't want to stick to your own set of things anymore.

When you walk out of his office, you come back to the taste, but at this time, you are often embarrassed to "pester" him again. Therefore, some people joke that Deputy Secretary Zhan has a special "aura" on him, which can have a hypnotic effect on people. Some people also say that it is a kind of innate temperament, which overlooks a qiē and affinities a qiē, and is a natural "leader" embryo, and it cannot be learned.

"Who did he give to the Organization Department and the Policy Research Office?" Zhan Jidong asked.

"Minister Jin and Director Lan of the Political Research Office."

"How did you explain to Minister Daoshen?"

That's what he said, no matter whether the situation is positive or negative, it must be clarified. Get thorough. ”

"Oh......"

Zhan Jidong groaned slightly. Why didn't Secretary Zhou mention these things to him, he couldn't help but have a faint shadow in his heart. He then asked: "Do you think Secretary Zhou means to agree with Governor Lu's opinion or ......?"

"He didn't say it explicitly."

“…… You Liang Xianxue," Zhan Jidong smiled indifferently.

"How could the secretary say such a thing, according to your analysis?"

Liang Xianxue hesitated: "I...... I don't really know ......."

"That'...... Well......"

Zhan Jidong didn't embarrass him anymore, and then asked some questions about life, such as whether his sister-in-law's work and housing problems were still difficult, etc.

Then, Liang Xianxue hurriedly said goodbye.

Liang Xianxue walked out of Zhan Jidong's office not far away, and Zhan's secretary chased him out and stopped him, telling him:

"Deputy Secretary Zhan still has something to do......"

Liang Xianxue listened, and hurriedly turned around to go back to Secretary Zhan's office.

The secretary smiled and hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Director, you don't have to go." That's how it goes. Deputy Secretary Zhan knows the situation of your family, and in order to make you better focus on your work, your lover's sister's work has been implemented to the Provincial Department of Finance, and the housing has been arranged......"

Liang Xianxue hurriedly said:

"This ...... How can it be ......"

Zhan Jidong's secretary smiled: "It's okay." ”

As he spoke, he diligently sent Liang Xianxue downstairs and turned around to go back to the office.

Liang Xianxue returned to his office and sat there for a while. The heart is up and down. Still apprehensive. Still uneasy. At the same time, there is a lot of emotion and gratitude. Secretary Gong is good at everything, but he really didn't ask him about his life.

Recently, he has indeed been made big by his sister-in-law's work, and his sister-in-law is not a material for studying at all, and it took a lot of effort to be admitted to the finance and trade school, and it was also commissioned.

But after graduation, he wanted to enter a big agency in the provincial capital, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law made a lot of trouble for him.

Naturally, such a thing can't be said in front of Secretary Zhou, as for the leaders of the Department of Finance, he doesn't know it, these people are actually good to him because of his identity, he just needs to say hello and solve the matter of his sister-in-law, but he can't hint at the people below, because Secretary Zhou is particularly taboo about this.

Secretary Zhan really solved a big problem for him.

…… Suddenly, he felt that he was a little inauthentic, there was an important situation that he should have told him just now, but he hesitated and didn't say anything.

Liang Xianxue thought about it for a while, and finally mustered up the courage and made up his mind to dial the direct phone in Zhan Jidong's office:

"Secretary Zhan, I'm Xiaoliang...... Thank you so much......"

"Learn first, why are you doing this?"

"I'm really grateful to the leaders for their care......"

"Hey, you can only do a good job if you travel lightly, I'm not thinking about you, but for Secretary Zhou's work, okay, busy with you."

Zhan Jidong was no longer interested in listening to Xiao Guo say this kind of "polite" words, and he was ready to hang up the phone after a few polite words.

Liang Xianxue hurriedly said: "Secretary Zhan, wait a minute, there is still something ......" (to be continued......
