Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Trip to Xizhou
Because of Min Rou, Chen Yang finally stayed in Jiaozhou for two more days, in addition to sitting down and chatting with the former group of subordinates in the development zone, but also the main members of the current Jiaozhou team, and under his personal auspices, after the comrades of the National Development and Reform Commission, the initial intention was finally determined is that a large nuclear hydropower project with international advanced level will be launched in the development zone next year, so as to drive the development zone and even the Jiaozhou economy to achieve a second take-off.
I have to say that this nuclear hydropower project can finally be settled in Jiaozhou, Chen Yang played the most critical role in it, to say that he has no selfishness at all, but this is also a little contribution he can make for the 5 million people in Jiaozhou.
After all the cadres in Jiaozhou learned that they won this project, they were in high spirits at the same time, and they all felt the deep feelings of the old leaders for the old villagers in Jiaozhou, and they were all moved by it.
After Chen Yang settled the official affairs, he finally took a day to accompany Min Rou around Jiaozhou and Xinzhuang Development Zone, which can be regarded as accompanying her to revisit the old places of the past, although the time was relatively short, but Min Rou already felt very satisfied.
And in the next trip, although Chen Yang didn't care, he still considered that Min Rou was pregnant, and did not agree to let her follow him. Instead, he personally arranged for someone to send Min Rou back to the capital to raise the fetus with peace of mind. Although Min Rou was reluctant, she couldn't resist Chen Yang in the end, and returned to Beijing honestly, which was somewhat different from her original plan, but Chen Yang's reasons were very legitimate, and her pregnancy reaction was really strong, she was also a little apprehensive in her heart, she was afraid that the child she was pregnant with so hard would fly away, and if this situation happened, she was afraid that she really wanted to die.
When I left Jiaozhou. This time, Chen Yang did not blame the old subordinates who came to see him off uninvited. Instead, Wen Yan encouraged everyone, and also put forward a few requirements to everyone, hoping that everyone will continue to emancipate their minds and work diligently. Efforts should be made to build Jiaozhou into the most modern city in the entire central and western regions at an early date.
And Chen Yang made a parting speech at the exit of Jiaozhou Expressway. Soon after, it was organized and bound into a booklet by the Propaganda Department of Jiaozhou City. In addition, the municipal party committee organized and convened plenary meetings of the party committee for many times to repeatedly study and discuss Chen Yang's speech, and finally, the members of the Jiaozhou team headed by Zhang Chao were the representatives. In the whole city, there was an upsurge of studying the spirit of Comrade Chen Yang's speech, especially the requirements mentioned by Chen Yang at the end, which were cited by everyone as the focus of the next work.
In the next few years of work, the investment of more than 5 billion nuclear hydropower has become a key factor in driving the development zone and Jiaozhou's economy to break through the bottleneck, and Jiaozhou's economy has really achieved a second take-off, I have to say that this is indeed related to Chen Yang, after all, there are actually many places about the site selection of nuclear hydropower projects, if this project is not brought down by Chen Yang, let alone Jiaozhou, It may not be possible to win the strength of the entire Jiangnan Province, you must know that this is a big project that many provinces are looking forward to.
Although this may not be fair to other regions, it can't be helped, the whole domestic environment is like this, and in many cases, the role that certain groups of people can play is too critical and important.
Many years later, Zhang Chao, who has become the leader of the provincial party committee of Jiangnan Province, spent nearly an hour at a meeting of the provincial party committee to review Comrade Chen Yang's trip to Jiaozhou. The trend of bad thinking that can get by and protect one's self is spreading day by day among the cadres of the organs. Do you understand the story of the secretary, I ask myself if there is no total. The secretary's ideological realm and open-mindedness, but I can assure the comrades here that as long as you are a comrade who wants to do things and can do things, as long as the starting point of your work is based on serving millions of people, I, the provincial party committee. The secretary will be your strongest backing! ”
After Zhang Chao's speech, there was a thunderous round of warm applause in the venue. At the scene, there were many senior cadres who were born in Jiaozhou, born in the development zone, and have been officials in Jiangnan Province to this day, and the eyes of the senior cadres who are all officials in Jiangnan Province can't help but moisten.
After the meeting, Secretary Tong Guò Zhang Chao quoted scriptures and vivid expressions at the provincial plenary committee, completely breaking some of the stereotypes and bad habits of Jiangnan Provincial officialdom, and the cadres have unloaded their ideological baggage, untied the shackles in their brains, and dared to really let go of their hands and feet in their work, and the work of the entire Jiangnan Province has once again moved to a higher level, and this is something that Chen Yang never expected.
However, what is even more unexpected is that not long after, led by the Propaganda Department of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, a large-scale documentary called "Emancipating the Mind" was filmed in Jiaozhou and other places, starting from Chen Yang's work in Jiaozhou and the Development Zone, and Chen Yang's second inspection of Jiaozhou as the climax of the whole film, the whole film enthusiastically eulogized the glorious footprints left by Comrade Chen Yang in Jiaozhou and Comrade Chen Yang's struggle in Jiaozhou with vivid lens images, and the song in the film is called "Him" The main theme interlude quickly spread all over the country with the popularity of this documentary......
……
Of course, these are all things to come, in fact, Chen Yang's itinerary, in Jiangnan Province has been in less than a week, soon, he continued to start the tour of the six central and western provinces, and finally, in the evening of November 5th, Chen Yang led this Zhong. The central inspection team finally arrived at the last destination of his trip, Xizhou City, Lingxi Province.
Yes. Xizhou is also a hot land for which Chen Yang once sweated and worked hard, and in the more than three years here, he has also left a lot of legendary experiences about him in this hot land.
In the Audi car, Chen Yang was sitting in the back compartment at the moment, with a faint smile on his face, chatting with a cadre wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
The bespectacled cadre sitting next to him was Zhong Zhaoyi, director of the Propaganda Department of the Lingxi Provincial Party Committee. When Chen Yang was the secretary of the municipal party committee in Xizhou. Zhong Zhaoyi once worked under him and was the mayor of Xizhou Municipal Government that year.
However, the relationship between the two is very ordinary, after all, the reason why Zhong Zhaoyi was parachuted from the Lingxi Provincial Party Committee back then was very complicated. But more or less behind it, there is the shadow of Han Haitian, the former leader of Xizhou. Let's be honest. When Zhong Zhaoyi first arrived in Xizhou, he did have the idea of breaking his wrists with Chen Yang and even replacing him. But it's a pity that under Chen Yang's strength, he, an airborne cadre who shoulders many people's high hopes, was finally played by Chen Yang to the point that he couldn't even get rid of the scum, and when he first arrived in Xizhou, he made a small splash and quickly disappeared in the crowd, not to mention what wrists he broke with Chen Yang, and finally became a rubber stamp and a mobile phone on the Jiaozhou Standing Committee.
However, Zhong Zhaoyi can be regarded as a good official luck, because of some special reasons that cannot be made public, after Wu Zhenbang, a smuggling tycoon with an extremely complicated background, was killed by Chen Yang by thunderous means, and finally under the balance of competition between multiple forces, Chen Yang still regretted that he could not serve a full term as secretary in Xizhou and was transferred, and Chen Yang was replaced by Zhong Zhaoyi, who was the mayor of Xizhou at the time.
After Zhong Zhaoyi sat on the throne vacated by Chen Yang, he was ambitious again at the beginning, trying to eliminate Chen Yang's influence on all aspects of Xizhou in the shortest possible time, and completely establish a new era of Zhong Zhaoyi, after all, he has turned positive.
But soon, Zhong Zhaoyi found that his prestige as a leader seemed to be very insufficient, and some of his work ideas and ideas were often very difficult to implement, especially some work ideas that were different from Chen Yang's predecessor, and they were simply pushed back directly at the Standing Committee. He realized that he was a lonely person in the Xizhou Standing Committee, and the remaining eight people were all in a group!
So, the new official Secretary Zhong came to his senses completely, although Chen Yangren left Xizhou, but he really wanted to completely eliminate the influence left by Chen Yang, but it was something he could never do, the entire Xizhou officialdom from the grassroots level to the Standing Committee team, almost all of them were cadres promoted by Chen Yang, unless he changed all these thousands of people, otherwise, he wanted to change the surname of Xizhou to "Zhong" I am afraid that he would have to wait until the next life.
But don't really say it, Zhong Zhaoyi has been an official for many years, but it is not in vain, after having such a sober judgment, he immediately put all the original work ideas behind him, as if he had changed people, and completely cleaned up the ambitions when he first took office, and took the initiative to ease relations with the old man Chen, and no longer dared to put forward work ideas such as revising the work plan of Xizhou in the next few years.
And his approach soon had an immediate effect, and then his work soon improved, and the cadres at the grassroots level were also obedient, and the voice he made on the Standing Committee was somewhat willing to listen, and without his ideas of changing the dynasty, Xizhou's economy also developed rapidly under the huge inertia, and in the second year after Chen Yang left, the total GDP exceeded the provincial capital, which made him really beautiful.
After tasting the sweetness, in the next term, Zhong Zhaoyi no longer dared to command indiscriminately, and sat back with peace of mind, and finally because of his outstanding political achievements, after the expiration of his term, he was transferred back to the provincial party committee as he wished, and now he is one of the members of the provincial party committee team who speaks quite weightily.
Now, although the past is gone, when he sees the so-called "old leader" who was overwhelmed when he was in office, and after leaving, he shrouded his head like a huge shadow, although Zhong Zhaoyi has tried his best to control his feelings, he still can't help but sigh.
Oh, yes. He can now be regarded as an important member of the provincial party committee, and he has gone up a big step, but compared with the dignified Director Chen, what is this step on his own?
Isn't that right? Director Chen from it. The central government came down to inspect the local work, but he casually said that he wanted to rush to Xizhou before the evening, and he, a member of the provincial party committee, had to immediately put down his job and rush over with him?
Oh, wait a few years and see Director Chen again. I'm afraid I'll have to change my tune again, right?
Zhong Zhaoyi secretly laughed at himself. This sour and complicated feeling in my heart is really not enough for outsiders.
But then again, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, although he has not been very confrontational with Chen Yang when he worked together, and even for a long time. He has always taken it as his responsibility to shoulder the goal of overthrowing Chen Yang. But now. The vicissitudes of life, time has passed, and he has been very soberly aware. Now Director Chen is no longer on the same plane as himself, and looking back, his so-called ambitions back then are just a joke that is not very funny.
Yes, for Zhong Zhaoyi, it's just a joke, and it can only be a joke.
So, putting aside all the cranky thoughts and tidying up his mentality, Zhong Zhaoyi immediately found his feeling and began to communicate with Chen Yang with the same mentality that a normal subordinate treats his superior.
"Hehe, Director Chen, you are the old secretary and leader of our Xizhou, this time you brought the right person to our Lingxi, come to our Xizhou to inspect the work, I think the masses of our Xizhou are blessed......"
Zhong Zhaoyi took the initiative to speak with a smile on his face, and after he finished speaking, he was a little strange in his heart, his change came too quickly, right? That's a bit too humble, isn't it? I even use honorifics for people at all, which is not my habit......
There was no way, in addition to continuing to smile bitterly in his heart, he could only acquiesce to this change in his mentality.
Chen Yang didn't have much feeling about Zhong Zhaoyi's suddenly changed honorific, but replied with a faint smile: "Hehe, old Zhong, you and I have worked together in Xizhou, and we have been old colleagues for many years, but you are not allowed to see outsiders like this, it's not good to be too angry." ”
"Director Chen, that's what you said." Zhong Zhaoyi hurriedly took over with a smile, and then immediately said, "Director Chen, after all, you are also the old secretary of Xizhou, and our old colleagues in Xizhou should call you an old leader." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhong Zhaoyi felt a little blushing, and sighed in his heart, where did all the arrogant bones he used to go, how could he be so subservient and charming in front of him in the shadow that had shrouded him for more than ten years? Not to mention that others are nearly ten years younger than themselves.
Chen Yang smiled and shook his head, but he didn't say anything more.
Indeed, of course he won't care too much about Zhong Zhaoyi's change of attitude at this time, although the other party didn't leave too much good impression on him back then, but just as Zhong Zhaoyi thought in his heart, the current Chen Yang is no longer in the same plane as him, but where is the dispute or mismatch compared to the past?
Perhaps, this is the so-called realm.
Now Chen Yang's eyes will no longer stay in this kind of corner that cannot be put on the stage. What he has in his heart will only be his own ambitions and political ideals, and as for those past events, whether good or bad, just let them go away with the wind......
After a short time, the convoy of the patrol team had already exited the exit of the lower highway.
The exit of the highway is not as grand as when he arrived in Jiaozhou before, none of the members of the Xizhou team appeared here to greet them, not that they didn't want to come to greet them, but Chen Yang had already explained Lin Gang before he came, and Lin Gang was different from Zhang Chao and other Jiaozhou cadres, after all, Zhang Chao and these Jiaozhou cadres have not seen Chen Yang for many years, even if they risk being scolded by Chen Yang, they must come over to show their loyalty, and Lin Gang has just been transferred from Chen Yang's side not long ago, There is no need to express loyalty to Chen Yang in such a form, not to mention Lin Gang's secretary, who has always been meticulous and strict in implementing Chen Yang's instructions, since Chen Yang said that he should not come over to greet him, then even if he has been preparing for the welcome work for a full month, he will definitely cut all the carefully prepared welcome ceremonies without hesitation.
Chen Yang didn't care about this, but when Zhong Zhaoyi, who was sitting next to him, saw the empty exit that no one greeted. Immediately, his face changed, and he frowned very dissatisfiedly and said, "What are these comrades in Xizhou doing?" It's not like words, it's just too bad words! ”
It's no wonder that he is so dissatisfied, not to mention a person like Chen Yang. The central party committee members came, and the provincial party committee members like him came together, even if the provincial party committee casually came down with a little bit of weight, wouldn't there even be a team to greet him?
Seeing this, Chen Yang smiled and said, "Hehe, old Zhong, don't be in a hurry to get angry first. It was I who asked Comrade Lin Gang and the cadres of the Xizhou team not to come. ”
In fact, Zhong Zhaoyi couldn't guess that eighty percent of this was Chen Yang's meaning. Not to mention anything else, the current leader of Xizhou has been Chen Yang's secretary in Huahai for more than five years, if it weren't for Chen Yang's intentions, Lin Gang wouldn't dare to be so lazy if he dared a hundred times.
And the reason why Zhong Zhaoyi looked dissatisfied. How much is also made for Chen Yang to see. After all, he was the highest-ranking cadre of the provincial party committee who accompanied him. Even if he knew that such a deserted scene was arranged by Chen Yang, he had to show his attitude, in a sense. His attitude at this time also represents the attitude of the Lingxi Provincial Party Committee.
Of course, in his heart, he still couldn't help but sour his belly again, heh, I can't imagine it, our Director Chen, I haven't seen him for so many years, and he can still pretend to be like this, can't I really see it......
secretly slandered in his heart, but his face was full of smiles and patted Chen Yang's ass: "Hehe, it's still Director Chen, you are a leader from the central government with a high level, if you want me to say, it's very good to be so simple, now, the atmosphere of our organs has been damaged, from top to bottom, just spending enough energy on ushering in the send, alas......"
Zhong Zhaoyi put on a look of worrying about the country and the people, but Chen Yang didn't bother to look at him, although he had long forgotten the unhappiness between him and the other party, but for this old partner, Chen Yang knew Zhong Zhaoyi, an old partner who was played by himself as a scumbag.
To put it bluntly, Zhong Zhaoyi's ability is of course a little bit, but it is mostly used in the drill camp, if it weren't for the fact that he did a good job after taking over him, Xizhou was not delayed by him, Chen Yang had already planned to change to a person he trusted to go to Xizhou a few years ago.
No way, for the few places he has been in charge of, he has always regarded it as his basic plate, although places like Jiaozhou and Xizhou, which he ruled in the early days, are completely incomparable with Huahai, but no matter what, he definitely does not want to see the good situation that he worked so hard to create in the past be ruined by later generations, in this way, it is not only irresponsible for himself, but also irresponsible for the millions of people in these places he governs.
In the casual chat with Zhong Zhaoyi, after about half an hour, the convoy finally drove into the main urban area, and finally drove into front of the spacious gate of the small guest house of the municipal party committee.
Here, before he had time to get out of the car, Chen Yang saw a large group of cadres who had been waiting here to pick him up and wash the dust.
There are not too many people here, the leader is naturally Comrade Lin Gang, the current leader in Xizhou, and the rest of the others are also members of the municipal party committee, and some are some staff members of the municipal party committee office.
As soon as Chen Yang's car stopped, Lin Gang had already walked out of the welcoming team quickly, and then under the gaze of his current subordinates behind him, he respectfully took the initiative to open Chen Yang's car door without any embarrassment or rudeness, and did not forget some of his work skills when he was a secretary before, put his hand on the top of the car door, and escorted Chen Yang out of the car, for fear that Chen Yang would accidentally hit his head or something.
"Hehe, you've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"
After getting out of the car, Chen Yang opened his mouth with a smile and shook hands with Lin Gang.
Lin Gang forcibly suppressed the indescribable excitement after seeing the old leader, hurriedly shook the old leader's hand, and replied respectfully with enthusiasm: "Secretary, we didn't wait long, but you have worked too hard along the way." ”
Lin Gang did not call Chen Yang his current official position, but still called Chen Yang according to the habit when he was in Huahai. Of course, he knew very well what Chen Yang's position was now, and the reason why he called Chen Yang so obviously was also under his own little calculations. After all, in his own opinion. He was different from the other people present, he was a loyal old subordinate who had served hard for many years after saddling up the horse by Chen Yang's side, how could his relationship with Chen Yang be comparable to that of these other cadres present? The title of "secretary" with a bit of intimacy is an important sign that he wants to distinguish himself from other cadres.
But then again, it's not that he deliberately wanted to be so pretentious, but after he took up his new post in Xizhou, although because of Chen Yang's prestige halo on his head, these old courtiers of Chen Yang in Xizhou didn't dare to make too many mistakes, and he was able to quickly gain a foothold from this very unfamiliar place. In the end, it will be said. He has only been in Xizhou for less than a year, and no matter how much influence he has in Xizhou, not to mention that his current group of people are basically old courtiers promoted by Chen Yang back then, although Chen Yang, the big boss behind the scenes, parachuted him over, although he did not dare to say anything in view of Chen Yang's huge prestige. But all in all. I still have some ideas in my heart. Especially a few candidates who actually had a chance to take the position, I couldn't figure out why the old leader couldn't pick someone out of them, but instead got Lin Gang, who everyone was not familiar with, to come over and be the leader of this Xizhou. Could it be that Chen Yang is not satisfied with so many of our old subordinates in Xizhou?
To be honest, for Chen Yang's arrangement, even if it is an old subordinate who is loyal to Chen Yang, everyone still has a little pimple in their hearts.
Yes, this is also the biggest problem that Lin Gang has faced since he took office in Xizhou, speaking of which, everyone is actually a systematic cadre, to put it bluntly, they have all worked hard under Chen Yang, and no one is necessarily worse than anyone in terms of the relationship with Chen Yang, the big boss? In terms of loyalty to the big boss, it is even more needless to mention, everyone is actually the same, Chen Yang, the big boss, refers to the east, the big guy will never fight the west, if Chen Yang really refers to the deer as a horse, everyone will never say that the boss said the wrong thing.
All in all, it was such a strange situation that made Lin Gang feel a little like he couldn't do anything.
For Chen Yang's inspection of Xizhou this time, he was really as eager as looking forward to the stars and the moon, and he was counting on Chen Yang's arrival to support him well.
It's just a pity, who can't understand Lin Gang's careful thoughts? Who wouldn't?
Soon, when Chen Yang, who was smiling for a long time, walked in front of the members of the municipal party committee who greeted him and shook hands one by one to greet everyone, the big guys also used their previous titles.
"Hello, secretary."
"Secretary, I'm looking forward to your return."
"Old leader, you have worked hard along the way."
……
Walking by Chen Yang's side all the way, the smile on Lin Gang's face became a little stiff, and for this group of team partners who were both yang and yin, he had a nameless fire burning in his heart.
And such a warm welcoming scene not only made Lin Gang feel a little unhappy, but Zhong Zhaoyi, who also walked all the way behind Chen Yang, also turned uncertain.
Indeed, Zhong Zhaoyi is also the number one who has served a full term in Xizhou, but now that he is by Chen Yang's side, he is like a little transparent, completely ignored by the cadres in Xizhou, although he knows that Chen Yang's prestige in Xizhou is something he can't chase, and even before accompanying Chen Yang to Xizhou, he has been so mentally prepared to be left out in the cold, but preparation is one thing, really wait until he experiences such a neglected feeling in person, The sour feeling that would pop up in his heart from time to time along the way suddenly came out uncontrollably.
Hehe, okay, Lao Zhou, Lao Liao, how come I didn't see it before, you guys are so good at sycophants? And Li Zhixian, you guy, I used to think that you, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, had very hard bones, look at your flattery now, are you still good?
Looking at a group of so-called iron-clad cadres who had worked under him in the past, and now they were around Chen Yang one by two and greeted warmly, Minister Zhong was unhappy in his heart, no, he had to brush up on the sense of saving zài, otherwise, where is the dignity of the dignified Lingxi Provincial Party Committee?
"Ahem! Everyone, be quiet for a moment! ”
Minister Zhong coughed loudly twice, and finally attracted everyone's attention a little, he didn't dare to drag mud and water, and hurriedly said: "Director Chen rushed over all the way, and he hasn't had dinner yet, let's stop surrounding Director Chen, quickly get out of the way and let Director Chen in." ”
As soon as Zhong Zhaoyi's words came out, although the cadres were a little unhappy in their hearts, they hurriedly gave way to the door of the guest house, and then the group surrounded Chen Yang and entered the small move.
Zhong Zhaoyi was hung down by the cadres again, not to mention the old men under Chen Yang in the Xizhou team, even some unfamiliar faces turned a blind eye to him, a member of the provincial party committee, and no one came to take the initiative to say hello to him from beginning to end, and he was very depressed for a long time when he stayed in place, and he almost wanted to go back to the provincial capital directly in a fit of anger.
"Minister Zhong, let's go in quickly."
At this time, someone finally came to greet him.
Zhong Zhaoyi turned his head to look at the sound, only to find that the person who came to call him was actually Chen Yang's secretary Geng Feng, he quickly put away the uncertain look on his face, nodded with a smile and responded: "Hehe, go, let's go, please, please, Secretary Geng." ”
Geng Feng has been by Chen Yang's side for a while, and he has already eliminated the sense of discomfort when he first worked beside the leader, and his horizons have broadened a lot.
nodded, smiled and walked in with Zhong Zhaoyi. (To be continued......)
