After Lan Chaohua went out for a long time, Zhou Shuming was still sitting quietly in the study, and scenes of the past flashed in front of Zhou Shuming's eyes, the beauty of first love, and the sweetness of love...... One qiē one qiē changed in that decade.

It was in that ten years of "catastrophe" that the first love finally left the world that brought him deep suffering forever, like thousands of people, but the delicate face of the first love appeared in front of him from time to time.

Compared with Qu Xinglin, in addition to the tea art and appearance and charm, there are still many differences, that woman is not as elegant as Qu Xinglin, not as luxurious as Qu Xinglin, not as knowledgeable as Qu Xinglin, so amorous.

But that woman lives forever in her heart, and no one can erase the traces of her in her heart. She is great! In the ten years when the wife did not recognize her husband and the son did not recognize her father, she bravely endured a qiē and saved him.

What I owe to her is not something that words can describe; The sacrifice she has made for herself may have reached the maximum that a woman can do for a man!

Zhou Shuming's heart is bleeding!

He was her first man, but he couldn't marry a black five like her, and he could only watch her die and be powerless.

It was a maddening, infuriating, laughing time!

The salty tears have become cold, and the hot blood has long lost its proper boiling. Her departure was like a nightmare in his heart, and again and again, he woke up from the dream, from the time he was with him, to the ......

This moment. Zhou Shuming's mind is full of images of first love. His heart is tired, he doesn't know. What he should pursue, what he originally pursued, was like an inexplicable burden rising into the air, but he sank into his spiritual hell forever.

He didn't blame Qu Xinglin, although Qu Xinglin was not at fault at all, at least she approached him with a heart of clinging, but she was not an accomplice in the real sense of the word after all. Even in a certain way, it is a poor worm and a big head who can be abandoned at any time.

But since some things have happened, they can only be faced, and it is not enough to rely on Lan Chaohua to extinguish the fire. You'll have to find another way.

Time is particularly important to him now, and before and after the new party congress, personnel changes in various provinces and cities are inevitable, and he now hopes to postpone the time he has adjusted as much as possible. Or strive for someone in the system to take over from them. In that way, even if he leaves, Lan Chaohua will be much easier to deal with.

After Zhou Shuming finished handling the affairs at hand, he immediately rushed to the capital to meet his old leader.

"Shuming. Come, sit. ”

The spirit of the old leader is very strong.

"Old leader."

Zhou Shuming shouted respectfully.

After Zhou Shuming sat down, the old leader first inquired about the situation in Beihu, and then directly mentioned the current situation.

Zhou Shuming knew that the old leader's time was very tight, so he immediately entered the state and talked about his predicament in Beihu. Of course, the main problem is the relationship with Lu Zhengdong, and as for the messy things of the Erin Group, it is naturally impossible to talk about it.

"Actually, it's just a small thing."

The old leader gently took a sip of tea and said to Zhou Shuming.

Zhou Shuming glanced at the old leader in some surprise. He didn't speak, but listened.

"There have been some arguments between you and Lu Zhengdong, and this is not a trouble, or it is not the main contradiction."

The old leader seemed to mean something.

Zhou Shuming's mind was confused all of a sudden, if it's not this question, then what level is it? Most of the arrangements he made before were aimed at Lu Zhengdong. In order not to have worries, he had already gritted his teeth and made a decision before coming to the capital, and it was a big deal to compromise and make greater concessions on Lu Zhengdong's affairs.

Zhou Shuming is Zhou Shuming after all, and he quickly recovered from his loss. He knew that at present, the most critical issue was to stabilize Lu Zhengdong and solve the matter of Erin Bay Lake, otherwise the trouble would be even greater.

The old leader smiled and said:

"When Lu Zhengdong went to Beihu to serve as governor, the general secretary and the general manager talked to you specifically, which is also the key to the problem."

Zhou Shuming understood what was going on when he heard this, that conversation was actually to let him let Lu Zhengdong do it in economic affairs, and he took charge of the overall situation to escort Lu Zhengdong, but he also knew that he could still do it in general at the beginning, but the more he did it later, he didn't do enough in this regard, and even sometimes created some obstacles.

The old leader slowly explained:

"Regarding the use of Lu Zhengdong, the central government has long been decided."

The old leader paused and said:

"When the new leadership collective takes office, it naturally hopes that the government decrees will be unimpeded, especially when it first takes office, the central government's home is not good. Hehe. No wonder they think about you! ”

"Then take me under the knife?"

Zhou Shuming immediately shouted, "No one is a stepmother's child." ”

After hearing this, the old leader smiled and said: "You have been in Beihu for a few years, and there has been no great improvement in the economic development of Beihu, which is an indisputable fact. ”

Zhou Shuming just wanted to refute, but as soon as he saw the old leader looking at him with a smile, he stopped doing it.

"What, still not convinced? Hehe. In fact, many things are clear above, but I don't want to go-for-tat with Mai Mang, and no one will reveal anyone's bottom. Only when the contradiction is big, and it is time for non-rectification, will everyone sit down and make a compromise calmly. I have a lot of first-hand information about the situation in your Beihu province. Don't look at the current position of the provincial secretary of Beihu, but I know a lot of things, not much less than you.

I know that you are a very controlling person, which is not a bad thing in many things, but sometimes it is too much, and some of your practices have indeed saved the face of the relevant functional departments of the central government. And now, in the eyes of some comrades of the Central Committee, many things have become not listening to greetings, which is a big taboo among the big taboos! ”

Hearing this, a layer of fine sweat appeared on the tip of Zhou Shuming's nose, and his fingers seemed to be a little disobedient.

And for Zhou Shuming's old leader. Zhou Shuming's problem, he has led Zhou Shuming for so long, how can he not know? Zhou Shuming still has the desire to control and superiority that has been accumulated too smoothly in his bones.

Zhou Shuming also knew that what the old leader said he really paid too much attention to control. It is inevitable that it will leave the impression of being arbitrary and arbitrary, which is not terrible, what is terrible is that it is considered to be the top cow of the central government, then things are completely different, the old leader did not say it explicitly, but Zhou Shuming already knew it in his heart. Beihu is his base, and he Zhou Shuming is the old leader's Zhou Shuming. In the final analysis, this is also an invasion and great weakening of the old leaders.

The stronger he is in Bay Lake, the stronger he is in the old leadership, and it is a kind of interdependence. The relationship that complements each other, naturally he is weakened, and the old leader is also weakened, think about it this way. Zhou Shuming is not in a hurry. That's already the way it is. What's the use of being anxious, just wait for the old leader to come up with an idea.

Zhou Shuming's face softened a lot.

The old leader smiled approvingly:

"This Lu Zhengdong of the Yun family is really smart, he always advances and retreats in a measured manner, and avoids being used as a gun......"

The old leader changed his words and said a little sternly:

"Don't just think about how to fight people, it takes too much leverage."

The old leader's eyes were very deep, as if he could see the bottom of Zhou Shuming's heart:

"I repeat, there are a lot of things I know. There are some things besides what I know. Others know it too! The action under the table will eventually be noticed by others. ”

Zhou Shuming's heart was a little empty. The words of the old leader. The meaning of each sentence is meaningful, and the words hit the core. He wondered in his heart that the old leader wouldn't already know about his affairs at Eileen Bay Lake.

Seeing that he was silent, the old leader turned to say:

"The central government will not let one family dominate, this is true for Beihu and other provinces and cities across the country, and this is true for you and Lu Zhengdong, this is for things rather than people, and will adopt the method of mixing sand and parachuting cadres in other places, so as to strengthen the central government's monitoring of the localities. So this time, it should be a matter of nine times out of ten that the deputy secretary of Beihu was transferred from outside. ”

Zhou Shuming's heart couldn't help but sink when he heard this, if there was another deputy secretary, it would also be a weakening for him, which would undoubtedly make it worse for him.

"As for you, it depends on the outcome of the game...... I believe that with my face, I can keep the Yun family neutral, but more importantly, you can click on Lu Zhengdong at the right time, both light and dark means can be used, so that he can understand the success or failure in this game, so that Lu Zhengdong will make a smart choice, let you stay in Beihu for a while longer, after all, a new secretary may not be a good thing for him, two-pronged, I believe that Lu Zhengdong will make a smart choice, even if he doesn't do it, the elders of the Yun family will do it for him. ”

Zhou Shuming's mind was spinning rapidly, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in politics, fighting and compromise are actually a means and strategy, the purpose is to serve power, and for him now, it is to serve him to stay in Beihu for a while longer, this Zhou Shuming is naturally very clear, but when to compromise and how to compromise This is very testing.

From the words of the old leader, he already understood that the deputy secretary parachuted in by the old leader, from a certain point of view, it was an exchange between the old leader and other systems, and this exchange was weakened for him Zhou Shuming, but it was definitely beneficial from the overall situation of the entire system where the old leader was located.

The whole context gradually became clear in Zhou Shuming's mind, this deputy secretary's matter can be used as an opportunity, as a new starting point to truly improve the relationship with Lu Zhengdong, and as an exchange for the old leader to support him to do a little more time, and then use the strength of this faction and the joint force of the Yun family to let himself stay in Beihu for another year and a half, this reason is also very good, Beihu is now in good shape to strive for stability, Beihu can have today's situation is really not easy, this point can not be ignored by other high-level leaders, The chances are much greater......

Lu Zhengdong soon got the news that the Central Committee had studied and decided to take over the deputy secretary of the Beihu Provincial Party Committee who would retire by Qi Yumin, although he was still a member of the economic department, not the original one, this news did surprise Lu Zhengdong a little, and what surprised Lu Zhengdong even more was that Zhou Shuming's side did not insist too much on this matter. Although the Department of Economics includes some compromises and exchanges between him and Zhou Shuming, this is not like Zhou Shuming's character, and what is going on here still needs to be observed.

After Qi Yumin served as the Minister of Propaganda, he served as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee for a short time. It is said that he is also very prestigious in the place where he used to work, and this time he came to Beihu to take up his post, which can be regarded as the central government's recognition of Qi Yumin's work.

Qi Yumin's coming to Beihu as deputy secretary of the provincial party committee has also aroused a lot of curiosity among the cadres, many people are not familiar with Qi Yumin, and even many people don't know this person, but for Yang Yongqing, Qi Yumin is an out-and-out acquaintance. They have worked together for many years, so everyone has set their eyes on Yang Yongqing, wanting to know from him what kind of person this incoming deputy secretary is.

Qi Yumin is about to come to Beihu to serve as deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, which has also aroused a lot of curiosity among the cadres. Many people are not familiar with Qi Yumin, and even many people don't know this person, but for Yang Yongqing, Qi Yumin is an out-and-out acquaintance. Worked together for many years. So everyone turned their attention to Yang Yongqing, wanting to know from him what kind of person this incoming deputy secretary is.

Zhou Ruoshan's birthday invited Lu Zhengdong, Yang Yongqing and others to have a drink, and such an occasion is naturally indispensable to talk about the upcoming deputy secretary.

Seeing that everyone was very interested in Qi Yumin, Yang Yongqing was also a little embarrassed, he didn't like to evaluate a person before and after others, and using some vague language to evaluate it seemed meaningless to him, and it was also a bit perfunctory, which was also a disrespect to the people present. So he couldn't think of how to evaluate it for a while.

"This, Secretary Qi is a very characteristic person. As for the rest, depending on the opinions, everyone will definitely have no less time to deal with him in the future, and if you have a few more contacts, you should be clear about his character, in a word, it is not good to summarize it in short, you can only experience it yourself. ”

Yang Yongqing thought about it for a long time, and only then did he summarize these two simple but profound words.

Yang Yongqing's expression was indifferent, Zhang Hongwei was very smart, no matter what the environment was, he would not be hot-headed to cross the line, what could he say, what he could not say, how to deal with these scenes, he grasped it very accurately, and he had been in Beihu for so long, and he was already more and more integrated into this circle.

Yang Yongqing is indeed a character, he knows what to take the initiative to do, and he can also analyze and judge problems keenly and calmly, Lu Zhengdong even thinks that he should seriously consider his future division of work, and hand over some hard bones to this guy, will it help him more?

Seeing that everyone else was still a little unsatisfied, Lu Zhengdong waved his hand:

"Yongqing also worked with Secretary Yumin many years ago, and people have changed a lot in different positions, which requires you to slowly understand in your future work, one thing is clear to everyone, do things seriously, and do your own things well, which is the most important."

Lu Zhengdong's words have made many people ponder the meaning, especially the words that came out of Lu Zhengdong's mouth, which seem to hide other unknown flavors and need to be carefully figured out.

Zhou Ruoshan also took this opportunity to provide such a platform for everyone to communicate, it is rare to have such an opportunity to relax at will, and everyone will naturally not let it go.

"Governor, why don't you seem to be too interested?"

Lu Zhengdong smiled faintly, Yang Yongqing should know some inside information, Qi Yumin's arrival is not only an exchange, but also a weakening for Zhou Shuming, this purpose has been achieved, how can he be happy and happy.

Lu Zhengdong thought for a while and said:

"No one is a fuel-efficient lamp, you have to look at his words and deeds, and I estimate that Secretary Zhou will also take this opportunity to adjust the division of labor of the Standing Committee, it is estimated that the organization minister will have to be replaced, Jin Daoshen is indeed muddy and can't support the wall, it is very likely that Lan Chaohua will be the organization minister, Lan Chaohua is more than one grade higher than Jin Daoshen in terms of ability and connections."

Yang Yongqing nodded, Lu Zhengdong is indeed very sober-minded, since the new deputy secretary of the provincial party committee is not Zhou Shuming's most desired candidate, Zhou Shuming will inevitably come up with countermeasures, and strengthening the control of personnel is undoubtedly the most important and effective way, Zhou Shuming is such a reinforcement, in fact, he can still grasp a considerable initiative in personnel.

Lan Chaohua, as Zhou Shuming's big butler, should be the backbone of another camp, but Yang Yongqing can feel that Lu Zhengdong is not afraid of Lan Chaohua, but a kind of respect, and being able to win the respect of an opponent like Lu Zhengdong also shows Lan Chaohua's strength and ability.

Of course, Zhou Shuming figured out how to adjust the division of labor among the Standing Committee members to strengthen personnel power, even if Lan Chaohua has outstanding ability, it still depends on the game, approaching such a level, strength is fundamental.

And the attitude of the new deputy secretary, under the current pattern of Beihu, the attitude of the new deputy secretary will definitely have some subtle impact on all aspects.

Yang Yongqing also kept his heart, after all, Qi Yumin is also his former leader, although he is not a direct leader, and the relationship is average, but for Qi Yumin, coming to Beihu Qi Yumin is also a black eye, and it is reasonable to find him, a former subordinate, to sit down, and if he can find a way to do something for Lu Zhengdong, this is a good opportunity, if you want to move to a higher position, in addition to qualifications and connections, the key is to be able to do things, to be able to do things, to have your own things......
