Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen

Deputy Secretary Cheng Yiyi insisted on pulling Minister Ma Liang, and personally went to the exit of the Nanzhou section of the expressway to serve as Deputy Minister Huaihang. It stands to reason that when a deputy minister from a province comes over, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee does not need to pick him up in person.But Ren Huaihang is different.Ren Huaihang is the old secretary of Nanzhou, and he is also very concerned about Cheng Yiyi personally.In the Nanzhou officialdom earthquake, Ren Huaihang retreated at the last moment, but he still spoke good words for Cheng Yiyi in front of some leaders in the province after he retreated.Moreover, the person has already left and returned to his hometown. Cheng Yiyi felt that it was reasonable for him to come and pick him up.What's more, Ren Huaihang is here today, and he is still a temporary cadre sent to the Central Propaganda Department.Ren Huaihang is also happy to give Ren Huaihang face in front of the cadres of the Central Propaganda Department.

As soon as Cheng Yiyi's car stopped, Ren Huaihang's car arrived. Ren Huaihang opened the car door, heaved a long sigh, and touched his head habitually.Cheng walked up all the way and shouted: "Minister Ren, welcome back to Nanzhou!" "All the way, I haven't seen you in half a year, Nanzhou has changed!" Ren Huaihang seemed to sigh a little. "It hasn't changed, everything is still Nanzhou as the secretary. Comrade Qi Ming is waiting for you in the city." Cheng Yiyi made a gesture of invitation.Ren Huaihang got into the car, and the convoy continued to drive towards the city.Sitting in the car all the way, Cheng felt that Ren Huaihang was older and thinner than when he saw him last time.

The car drove across Binjiang Avenue and entered the bustling street in the city.Then, he turned directly to Huhai Villa. After entering the door and getting off the car, Ren Huaihang pointed to a woman beside him and introduced: "This is Comrade Yue Qi, the director of the Central Propaganda Department who came to Nanzhou to take up a post." "Welcome Director Yue, no, Secretary Yue." Ma Liang shouted immediately. Cheng Yiyi just smiled, Ren Huaihang introduced, and he stepped forward to shake hands with Yue Qi.He saw Yue Qi looking at him, there seemed to be something familiar to him.He didn't think much, and the group entered the conference hall.

From the outside, Yue Qi is not a very eye-catching woman.In her thirties, young and capable, with the temperament of a Beijing official and the elegance of an intellectual woman.She almost took a careful look at everyone present, and then said: "Before I came to Nanzhou, I read Nanzhou's information on the Internet. This is a famous cultural city and an economically important city. I walked around the city just now, and I feel that this place is really different from other places. It is my honor to come to Nanzhou for a second job and learn from everyone!" Ren Huaihang smiled and said: "Director Yue is a reserve cadre of the Central Propaganda Department. He is young, highly educated, thoughtful, and has a bright future. Coming to Nanzhou is not only a good thing for Nanzhou, but also a good thing for our province. .”

"Of course. Nanzhou is at a critical moment of great development and great leap forward. It needs high-end cadres like Secretary Yue who have a comprehensive knowledge structure and forward-looking views. Secretary Yue, the people of Nanzhou welcome you!" Cheng Cheng Laughing out loud all the way. Ma Liang followed the procedure and briefly introduced some basic information about Nanzhou to Yue Qi.At this moment, Ren Huaihang signaled Cheng to go all the way and go for a walk. The two of them went out, across the path, to the lake.The water of the lake in May is slightly rippling.Ren Huaihang sighed: "Time is so fast! Comrade Yiyi, how are you?"

"It's not bad." Cheng Yiyi said with a smile, "Minister Ren is in the province, and it's easier than being down there. There are many things down there, and it's complicated!" "I heard that Shuofeng's case is settled?" Ren Huaihang asked. "Maybe it's settled, it's not very good." Cheng Yiyi knew that Ren Huaihang valued Xu Shuofeng very much, and Xu Shuofeng's accident had dealt a great blow to Ren Huaihang.He looked at Ren Huaihang, and said again: "I heard from the comrades of the Discipline Inspection Commission that it must be more than ten years."

"...Oh, what a pity, what a pity!" Ren Huaihang brushed the weeping willow beside him with his hands, and asked, "How about the Nanzhou government change this time?" "It hasn't officially started yet. The personnel affairs are very complicated and the space is very small. The three teams may only have three or four people, and the government can only have one executive. This is mainly for Comrade Qi Ming to get opinions." Cheng Yilu consciously paused opened. "Ah, how is Comrade Zhuo Zhao?" Ren Huaihang asked abruptly. Cheng Yiyi was a little surprised when Ren Huaihang asked.Under normal circumstances, when talking about this aspect, it is seldom specific to people.Liu Zhuozhao has a good relationship with Ren Huaihang, and they knew it along the way.Liu Zhuozhao also approached him many times to talk about his thoughts.He never said it.It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but the situation is indeed changing, and no one can say for sure.He replied: "I'll fight for him, but you know this matter, I alone don't count."

"When it's convenient, I'll talk to Comrade Qi Ming. Zhuo Zhao is a very good comrade, and he's been the secretary of the county party committee for five or six years. It's time to come up." Ren Huaihang asked Ma Hongtao again, saying that Ma Hongtao was too knowledgeable Molecules are angry, it's not easy to do it down there.Cheng Yiyi said that Ma Hongtao also complained a lot, but the more he was like this, the more he needed to exercise.At present, he is still shouldering Renyi's shoulders. The next step depends on the situation, and may send a county magistrate there.

Back in the conference hall, Yue Qi was discussing the urban economy with Ma Liang enthusiastically.Yue Qi works in the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.However, as Cheng listened all the way, he felt that she was a cadre staying in the capital after all, and what she said was still from a high place, and there was still a long way to go in reality. While we were talking, Secretary Qi Ming came over. After everyone said hello, Qi Ming said: "Warmly welcome. First, we welcome Comrade Yue Qi to come to Nanzhou as the deputy secretary. The team has added new vitality; the second is to welcome Minister Huai Hang, the old secretary, and the people of Nanzhou remember you!"

Ren Huaihang said: "I am in Nanzhou, and I am a man of no merit. Comrade Qi Ming came, went up and down, and changed for him. It's very good!" Qi Ming laughed and said, "Minister Huai Hang, has something to say to me? How could Nanzhou be where it is today without you, Minister Huai Hang. I'm just following the route of Minister Huai Hang. Isn't it? All the way. "Qi Ming turned his head and asked Cheng Yiyi. Cheng Yiyi also smiled, "Of course, you all are!" Qi Ming said that there will be no meetings, let's be casual and free, let's talk.Yue Qi and Cheng Yilu talked about some past events in Nanzhou. It can be seen that Yue Qi put a lot of effort into it, and there were some things that even Cheng Yilu didn't know very well.Cheng Yiyi thought to himself, people are amazing now, the last time Wen Ya talked about Nanzhou with him, and this time Yue Qi talked about Nanzhou with him, they were carefully prepared and had a comprehensive and thorough understanding of Nanzhou.It can be seen that they all understand the strategy and tactics of knowing themselves and the enemy and winning a hundred battles.amazing!Really amazing!Cheng Yiyi looked at Yue Qi, Yue Qi asked about Nanzhou Old Street, Cheng Yiyi said that it was demolished last year.Yue Qi sighed, and said, "I wish I had come last year. The photos are so beautiful. Now everywhere is running the city. In the end, the result is worrisome. The most obvious thing is that these old streets are getting more and more crowded." Less. What a pity!"

Cheng didn't speak all the way.Fang Lianghua and Zhao Shouchun also came in.Everyone moved into the restaurant, and the atmosphere of drinking was relaxed and harmonious.Because it is noon, no one is good at persuading people to drink, and no one wants to drink more.Therefore, drinking has become a complete etiquette.Qi Ming said, "Let's have a good drink in the evening, we still have things to do in the afternoon." Ren Huaihang said: "It's better not to drink. I haven't had a drink for a long time since I arrived in the province. The biggest problem with the subordinates is alcohol. The leaders have to accompany the drink when they come, and the subordinates have to toast when they treat guests. It's so annoying! Director Yue, you will understand the difficulties in this after you stay for a while." Yue Qi smiled: "I don't drink at all, I get drunk when I drink. So no matter how big the wine shop is, I am not timid, two words: don't drink!" "It's called staying the same and responding to all changes. If there is no trick to win, there is a trick. It's a brilliant move!" Fang Lianghua laughed. After dinner, we sat down and talked casually.Fang Lianghua took Yue Qi to see the house where he lived, and the conditions were naturally good.Huhai Villa itself is a villa structure, one building after another, all of which are small buildings.Qi Ming also lives here, and sometimes some leading cadres in the city live here occasionally because of inconvenient reasons.Ren Huaihang also lived here before, but now his house is vacant, just across from the house where Yue Qi will live.It is said that it is opposite, but it is not clear.Every house here is designed with vague barriers, or a few trees, or a flower wall.It seems to be unintentional, but it takes a lot of ingenuity to do it.When Yan Lili asked someone to design it like this, it can be seen what a thoughtful woman Yan Lili is. Mo Jinxian, the current boss of Huhai Villa, is a real estate developer.His main industry is in the south, and under normal circumstances, he seldom returns to Nanzhou.Huhai Villa is entrusted to another company to manage it.The environment here is good and quiet.So some high-level meetings, or high-level visitors, are arranged here. Ren Huaihang was going back to the provincial capital, but both Qi Ming and Zhao Shouchun tried their best to persuade him to stay.Cheng Yiyi also kept persuading him, and Ren Huaihang finally agreed to stay all afternoon and rush back to the provincial capital after dinner in the evening.Cheng Yiyi said: "Since we're here, let's take a rest first, and I'll accompany Comrade Huaihang around in the afternoon." Cheng Yiyi himself took a break in the villa at noon, and at two o'clock, he knocked on the door of Ren Huaihang's room.Chi Yutian was inside.Chi Yutian is the executive deputy director of the Nanzhou People's Congress.The upcoming change of office will also be the last time he will appear on the Nanzhou political stage.This person is an old man in Nanzhou with a deep foundation.In the past, Ren Huaihang also respected him three points.After Qi Ming came, he reformed the relevant affairs of the National People's Congress.To put it bluntly, it was to frame Chi Yutian alive.Chi Yutian also complained a lot at first, but he seemed to have figured it out later, and he rarely attended ordinary meetings.According to his own words: waiting to be laid off. "You came at the right time along the way. I was talking to Comrade Huaihang just now, and the current investment promotion is a bit weird. Why are leading cadres leaving their posts to attract investment? Isn't this playing the piano randomly?" Chi Yutian said a little excitedly. Cheng Yiyi refilled some tea for Chi Yutian, and said with a smile, "Director Chi doesn't need to say that. Attracting investment is the main means of developing the economy now. If you don't recruit others, if you can't attract business, the economy will have no new growth point. What should I do? I have thought of many ways, but nothing works. It is not the first time in Nanzhou that leading cadres leave their posts to attract investment. It has been done in other places. We are using it to try. It's just work. Minister Huaihang, don't you think so?" "This also makes sense." Ren Huaihang said while touching his hair. Chi Yutian was obviously dissatisfied with Cheng Yiyi's explanation, and muttered: "Did the merchants hire you? If you plant a phoenix tree, you will have a golden phoenix. If the tree is not planted well, if you forcefully capture the phoenix, can you keep it? I Not necessarily. But I’m old, and I don’t care about things anymore. As long as I can live my life, I’m satisfied.” "Haha, Director Chi is very open-minded!" Cheng Yiyi said, "I also want to retire earlier, but sometimes I feel powerless." "You are still young, and it is time for you to do your best. Don't say such things. The provincial party committee also has high hopes for you!" Ren Huaihang looked at Cheng Yiyi, and Cheng Yiyi smiled and said that this was the leader's expectation.There is a gap between leadership expectations and personal ideas. Everyone was silent for a while, then Ren Huaihang suddenly said, "Huang Chuan's father, Huang Lao, passed away a few days ago." "Ah..." Cheng Yiyi sighed. Huang Chuan was the original director of the Nanzhou City Finance Bureau, and he came down from the Provincial Finance Department.During the Nanzhou officialdom earthquake last year, he was double-regulated due to financial problems and committed suicide.Before Huang Chuan committed suicide, he left a letter of more than 20,000 words, but no one knows the specific content of the letter except for a very few people.A lot of people must have been involved, but after looking at it, except for Xu Shuofeng, it seemed that nothing was involved. "Mr. Huang used to be the deputy director of provincial finance. After what happened to Huang Chuan last year, he became ill. He had high hopes for Huang Chuan, but..." Ren Huaihang said, looking out of the window. Cheng Yiyi didn't speak, but just turned the teacup with his hands. The tea leaves in the teacup were quietly, without any tumbling state when the boiling water was rushed in just now.Everything has calmed down, but the inner pain and struggle must still be in the hearts of many people.It will not calm down for a while, and it is impossible to calm down. Fang Lianghua poked his head in and saw that everyone was there, so he smiled and said, "I still want to invite Minister Ren to drink tea." Ren Huaihang said: "No need, Lianghua. I will go to the same road later and walk around the street. After all, I have lived for four years. Take a look around, anyway, my task has been completed." "That's fine, do you want me to arrange it?" Fang Lianghua turned his face and asked Cheng Yilu. "No need, I've already made arrangements." Cheng Yiyi asked Chi Yutian to join him.Chi Yutian said: "I won't go, the main purpose is to see Comrade Huai Hang. Go ahead, I'll go first." Ren Huaihang got up to send Chi Yutian out, Cheng Yiyi asked Ye Kai to drive the car over, Ren Huaihang sat in Cheng Yiyi's car, left Huhai Villa, the car drove past the most prosperous Renmin Road in Nanzhou, and then turned around Nanzhou Old Town. street.Ren Huaihang looked at the only remaining Nanzhou Ancient Pagoda, and for some reason came up with a sentence: "All the way, looking at it now, I don't know if it was right or wrong to demolish this old street? The ancient cultural atmosphere of the city is gone. The face is monotonous and less vivid." "This..." Cheng Yiyi thought to himself that it was actually Ren Huaihang's idea to build Binjiang Avenue and demolish this old street, and he insisted on it.It can be seen that a person in the officialdom, his position determines his thoughts.When he was in Nanzhou, Ren Huaihang thought more about making political achievements, and looked at the demolition and reconstruction of the city from the perspective of political achievements; These two angles caused Ren Huaihang to sigh today.Cheng Yiyi also has mixed feelings about the demolition of Nanzhou Old Street.He grew up on the old street since he was a child, and when he demolished the old street, he was somewhat attached and reluctant emotionally; in terms of the cultural atmosphere and characteristics of the city, he was not in favor of demolishing the old street.However, as the Secretary-General of the Standing Committee of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee at the time, he did not oppose and insist too much. Obedience to the final decision of the Municipal Party Committee was more important to him than his attachment to Laojie. The car went around the Nanzhou ancient pagoda, and Ren Huaihang wanted to come down and go up to the pagoda to have a look.With Chen Yang in front and Cheng Yiyi in the back, the three climbed up the tower.Looking from the top of the tower, the Yangtze River is mighty and mighty, and the wind blowing from the river shakes everyone's skirts.Ren Huaihang said with emotion: "There are endless generations in life, and the river water is only similar year after year!" After listening all the way, Cheng thought: Ren Huaihang changed "Jiangyue" to "Jiangshui", which is actually very appropriate in the face of this situation. Chen Yang said: "Minister Ren also sighs that life is over!" Ren Huaihang stroked his hair: "Time flies, life is like a dream. After arriving in the province, I thought about it a lot, and suddenly I became a little tired of life. Life is easy and old is hard to grow old, and the river is infinite and life is poor!" He said again He suddenly turned around and asked Cheng Yiyi, "I remember you mentioned Nanzhou Zen Temple before, there is an expert there, what's his name?" "Master Mingxin." Cheng Yiyi replied. "Ah, clear mind, clear mind, see sex! I really should go to see it when I have time. I have been in Nanzhou for four years, but I haven't been there. It's not good. All the way, nothing in the afternoon, let's go and have a look ?" Ren Huaihang's proposal made Cheng Yiyi feel a little strange, but it was understandable after thinking about it.Going to see an ancient Zen temple is itself a kind of worship to culture.As for the others, it is a matter of the benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. Cheng Yiyi said that it happened that he hadn't been there for a long time, so let's go and see together. However, the Nanzhou Temple was closed. In the afternoon sun, the entire temple was so peaceful that it made one's heart palpitate. Chen Yang stepped forward and patted the door knocker, but there was no sound.Ren Huaihang shook his head, and said: "To visit the Buddha, you must be sincere. Such a sudden idea, the Buddha will not accept." Cheng Yiyi was also a little confused.He was not sure whether the Great Monk Mingxin was in the temple, but it stands to reason that the gate of the temple should not be closed.He approached the door and was about to listen in, but the door opened with a "squeak", and a young monk with green skin came out, bowed, and said, "This temple is holding a sutra ceremony. , once a benefactor is accepted, we will not accept it." Chen Yang pulled his face and asked: "Where is the head of your temple? Let him come out. Just say that the city leaders have arrived." The little monk glanced at the faces of Ren Huaihang and Cheng Yiyi, and after seeing the truth, he said: "Well, I will go in and say something first, you wait." After a while, a big monk came out and introduced that he was currently asking questions from the monastery.Cheng Yiyi asked Master Mingxin if he was in the temple.The answer explained that the Great Monk Xin had been away for more than half a year and had not come back.He is an eminent monk who travels all over the world, like flowing water, he doesn't know when he will return to the temple. Ren Huaihang sighed again, and Cheng Yilu said: "If you come, then go in. Let's go in." A group of people entered the temple, led by the great monk, and looked around one by one, but neither burned incense nor kowtowed.But in the main hall, Cheng Yiyi made a bow.Going out of the temple gate again, the sun is already westward.The light from the westward sun was vast and tranquil, illuminating the whole mountain, the temple, and the people standing in front of the temple gate into a peaceful golden yellow.There was the sound of closing the door from behind, followed by the crisp sound of a wooden fish.Cheng Yiyi seemed to smell the long and dense sandalwood breath in the sound of wooden fish.
