Chapter 39 Chapter Thirty-Nine

Only then did Wu Mingxiong say: "Old governor, I've finished my words, please give me instructions." Before the old governor opened his mouth to speak, he let out a long sigh: "Wu Mingxiong, Wu Mingxiong, what do you want me to say about you? Don't I know what you said? Don't I know who Chen Zhongyang is? But my comrades, you must understand that the current situation is very complicated. The individual you mentioned is trying to make things big, and you really have a handle to let others catch you! Wu Mingxiong, imagine for the provincial party committee , If the trouble spreads to the central government, spreads to the whole country, and the lawsuit is earth-shattering, what will the provincial party committee do? What will you do in Pingchuan? Do you, Wu Mingxiong, still want to do something? Can you continue to deal with roads and water? So, I Comrades, you must calm down, keep a clear head, consider the overall situation, and firmly grasp the center of economic construction. These are not my words, these are the original words of Comrade Qian Xianghui. Qian Xianghui Comrade wants my old man to represent him, to have a good talk with you on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, you should know that right?!"

Wu Mingxiong remained silent. The old governor said: "As for Comrade Chen Zhongyang, he has already reached the age limit. It seems that he is still three or four months away. This time, it is considered normal to leave. Even if there is no such thing, you Wu Mingxiong will stay. It’s been a year or so, isn’t it? So, when I talked with Comrade Zhongyang, he immediately figured it out. Of course, he also raised two conditions. Wu Mingxiong, guess which two A condition?" Wu Mingxiong didn't want to guess, nor was he interested in guessing. The old governor said: "Comrade Zhongyang proposed that, first, after he came down, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee would stop working, and the chief commander of the water conservancy project would continue to work until the project was completed two years later. He had feelings for the Damo River. Second, Leaving the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee hand in hand with Xiao Daoqing is to create an environment that makes it easier for you to do things."

Wu Mingxiong was really moved, and he said in a low voice: "Old Chen never mentioned these words in front of me." The old governor laughed on the phone: "So, I have always said that Comrade Zhongyang is not confused about major issues. Comrade Zhongyang's two requests are not excessive, and they are reasonable. However, Xiao Daoqing is still Young people still need to be educated and guided. Therefore, the opinion of Secretary Qian Xianghui and the provincial party committee is that Comrade Zhongyang will continue to be the commander-in-chief of the project after retiring from the second line. This is what you Wu Mingxiong wished for, right? Comrade Xiao Daoqing If he still refuses to obey the division of labor of the standing committee, the provincial committee will consider the next organizational measures."

Wu Mingxiong said gloomily: "Old governor, in that case, he has really made a name for himself? Did Secretary Xie Xuedong speak for our Secretary Xiao again and did the work?" The old governor said earnestly: "You're blaming Xie Xuedong this time! Let me tell you, Wu Mingxiong, Xiao Xie really didn't say anything for Xiao Daoqing at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee discussing your Pingchuan issue this time! Xiao Xie is right. Xiao Daoqing was very annoyed by what he did, so he called Xiao Daoqing to criticize him harshly, and he also declared that you, Xiao Daoqing, should not run around under my name, and I would never advocate that you poke Pingchuan's affairs outside. You want It has nothing to do with me to go to Beijing. Xiao Xie and I exchanged opinions. When talking about Pingchuan’s work, Xiao Xie also tried his best to keep his relationship with Xiao Daoqing clear, and even offered to let Xiao Daoqing take charge of family planning and the party The group is pretty good, and this job is very suitable for comrades like him who are more policy-oriented. Why did Wu Mingxiong ask him to manage political law and discipline inspection? He was given the conditions to make trouble. Listen, What do you mean by that?"

This surprised Wu Mingxiong: "Why didn't Secretary Xie Xuedong help Xiao Daoqing?" The old governor said: "The reason is very simple. This young man, Li Lingzhi, has lost his mind. He even forgot to respect the provincial party committee. Xiao Xie is not stupid! What's more, Xiao Xie knows who is doing things and who is making troubles!" Wu Mingxiong asked: "What if Xiao Daoqing still disagrees with the division of labor in the Standing Committee?" The old governor said meaningfully: "I'm afraid he won't dare! The provincial party committee is going to talk to him these few days. It is estimated that Xiao Xie will talk to him on behalf of the provincial party committee and Qian Xianghui, and will not talk to him at Xie's house again." , the comrades from the Organization Department are going to be present, I'm afraid the talk won't be too easy!"

Only then did Wu Mingxiong say with relief: "It seems that the Provincial Party Committee knows everything." The old governor said: "Yes, although Comrade Zhongyang came down a few months earlier and made some sacrifices, the provincial party committee clearly distinguishes non-problems. Let me tell you another piece of information, the standing committee of the municipal party committee that you reported The adjustment plan now includes Comrade Zhongyang’s retirement, and the Provincial Party Committee made an exception and approved it in advance. Qian Xianghui also made it clear, saying: “The current good situation in Pingchuan is hard-won. We all need to cherish and cherish it. When it is broken, it is broken, and there is no delay in making mistakes.'”

This is another surprise. Wu Mingxiong pondered for a while and said: "In this way, it is easier for Pingchuan to do things. It doesn't matter whether Xiao Daoqing leaves or not. He can really do a good job in the family planning work for 10 million people in Pingchuan area, and he can be regarded as Pingchuan Do your best in your career!" The old governor said: "Now, my old man has made everything clear, Wu Mingxiong, do you still want to resign?" Wu Mingxiong said with a smile: "Old governor, when did I say I was going to resign?!" The old governor also smiled and said: "Okay, okay, let me go again." The adjustment truly embodies the instruction spirit of Qian Xianghui, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, "If it is broken, it will be broken". It only took half a month from the inspection and evaluation of the organization department to the final decision at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. This is the first time in the history of the province. rare.Chen Zhongyang, the former deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, withdrew from the second line three months and eight days in advance.Sun Jinyuan, the former head of the organization of the municipal party committee, took over the work in charge of Chen Zhongyang and became the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.Executive Deputy Mayor Cao Wuping concurrently serves as Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.The former Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Minister was redesignated as Organization Minister.Liu Jinping, Secretary of the Damo County Party Committee, joined the Standing Committee and served as the Minister of Propaganda.Cheng Weiqi, Secretary of the Minjiao County Party Committee, the leading large county in the Pingchuan area, also joined the Standing Committee.

Next, the Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee held a farewell party for Chen Zhongyang, and all the old and new Standing Committee members were absent. Before the farewell party started, Xiao Daoqing sat down next to Wu Mingxiong with a teacup, and with a natural expression, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Wu Mingxiong and said, "Secretary Wu, there are some things that I'm afraid I misunderstood, such as the matter of Yu Dajing's complaint. It has nothing to do with me at all. It was provoked by the corrupt member Wang Ping. I didn't know much about the situation at the time, so I made a rash statement. Based on a moment of righteous indignation, I got angry. This time, the leading comrades of the provincial party committee criticized me, and I was sincerely convinced. Yes. However, Secretary Wu, this is indeed a misunderstanding, no matter what I say, I am still one of the heads of the Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee, so I will not contribute to this kind of incident!"

Wu Mingxiong waved his hand and said flatly: "Let's let the misunderstanding pass. Lao Chen has already come down. The corrupt Wang Ping has also gone to prison. Yu Dajing has been dismissed. Let's not talk about this matter." How about you? Don’t get me wrong. Comrades and I let you take charge of family planning and party-mass work, which is also a normal division of labor among the Standing Committee. Family planning is not a light burden. It’s the most difficult thing in the world. It needs a capable comrade like you to catch it. Secretary Xiao, don’t you think so?” Xiao Daoqing blushed a bit, and said: "Yes, yes, family planning is our basic national policy. I will definitely do my best to do this job well. Please rest assured..."

Xiao Daoqing seemed to want to say something to Wu Mingxiong. At this time, Chen Zhongyang entered the door. Wu Mingxiong shook off Xiao Daoqing and went up to shake hands with Chen Zhongyang. Holding Chen Zhongyang's hand, Wu Mingxiong said, "Old Chen, you are so late again today." Chen Zhongyang had already seen Xiao Daoqing, so he said something in his words: "There are people who come early, of course I have to come later! I can save a minute of looking at this kind of person's face!" Xiao Daoqing wanted to shake hands with Chen Zhongyang at first, and even got up in his seat. Hearing this, he sat down bored again. Later, he thought that Chen Zhongyang was a cannonball, and he was afraid of being scolded and humiliated on such an occasion, so he quietly Withdrew.

After Xiao Daoqing left, the farewell party was filled with an extremely warm atmosphere. Mayor Shu Huaru took a bottle of Moutai wine that was said to have been preserved for 15 years, poured it into a teacup, and invited Chen Zhongyang to drink with everyone. After drinking, Wu Mingxiong pointed to Shu Huaru and said with a smile, "Everyone, prove it. Today, the mayor took the lead in violating discipline. Drinking is not allowed at noon. He proposed it, but he violated it himself. Should he be punished?" Everyone said they would be fined, and the mayor was fined to donate a bottle of Moutai to drink at night. At the meeting, Chen Zhongyang burst into tears and said: "You guys really, what are you giving away? I'm not really leaving, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee will quit, but next year I will go to Damohe to be my commander-in-chief. My boss and I Both Wu and the Provincial Party Committee agreed. Don’t you young people don’t want this old thing like me anymore?!” Wu Mingxiong was startled, hugged Chen Zhongyang with some gaffes, and said emotionally: "Old Chen, what are you talking about! Without you, the old dragon king, who would we Pingchuan ask for Daze lake water?! We still have to pay for this project." Work for two years!" Chen Zhongyang patted Wu Mingxiong on the shoulder, and sighed without any scruples: "The old ones got off, some people who didn't do anything went to the side to take a rest, and another group of energetic young people came up, how wonderful, The Provincial Party Committee is courageous and far-sighted! This is what the chairman said back then, bad things turn into good things. Although I, Chen Zhongyang, made mistakes, I still have a little credit." Then, Chen Zhongyang said to Liu Jinping and Cheng Weiqi, the two new members of the Standing Committee and Cao Wuping, the new deputy secretary: "In front of you, I will sell the second old! You must remember that the business in the hands of our old comrades is always I want to leave it to you young people; you must do your best, and don't just think about your own little calculations like some people do; you must put our career in Pingchuan as the most important thing!" The three young comrades all said: "Old Secretary, we will remember, and you can explain a few more words if you want to explain." Chen Zhongyang shook his hand with tears in his eyes and said, "Forget it, forget it, don't talk, don't talk. If you talk too much, you will be annoyed, thinking, how can this old thing come up with so much nonsense! A few people have talked about me like that behind my back." Liu Jinping said: "Old secretary, don't say that. After all, such people are still very few among young cadres. Most young comrades are not like this." Chen Zhongyang said: "I believe that young cadres are like ordinary people, and we are not in the situation in Pingchuan today."... That night, Chen Zhongyang went to Wu Mingxiong's house to look for Wu Mingxiong.At that time, Wu Mingxiong's wife went to Beijing. In the empty living room, Wu Mingxiong was the only one reading documents under the floor lamp.As soon as Chen Zhongyang came in, Wu Mingxiong put down the document and said, "You bastard, you haven't been separated from me for a while, so you miss me again, don't you?" "Wu Mingxiong asked: "Then why did you come to me?" Chen Zhongyang said mysteriously: "Guess." Wu Mingxiong shook his head: "I can't guess." Chen Zhongyang said: "I expect you to I can’t guess, I’m here to pick up my granddaughter.” Wu Mingxiong immediately thought of Shang Dequan’s daughter, Shang Hao, but deliberately pretended to be confused: “Old Chen, you are really messing around, why is your granddaughter here with me?” Chen Zhongyang ignored Wu Mingxiong, went straight to Shang Hao's small room, and carried Shang Hao out who had just washed his face and was about to go to bed. Wu Mingxiong's daughter, Wu Jie, was so anxious that she called "Uncle Chen" and followed her out.Shanghao didn’t do it anymore, twisted his body in Chen Zhongyang’s arms and said coquettishly: “Grandpa Chen, I won’t go, I want Auntie Wu and Transformers.” Chen Zhongyang said: “Shanghao, Auntie Wu and your Grandpa Wu both have to work, If I can’t accompany you, Grandpa Chen will play with you. Grandpa Chen will take you to the zoo to see monkeys and giant pandas, okay?” Shang Hao was very happy: “Grandpa Chen, then we will go tomorrow instead of kindergarten.” Chen Zhongyang said : "Okay, I'll go tomorrow, I won't go to kindergarten." Wu Mingxiong said, "Old Chen, we agreed at the Hetian water conservancy construction site. This child belongs to our two families, right?" Chen Zhongyang rolled his eyes. Said: "That is the unequal treaty that you Lao Wu imposed on me by taking advantage of his power and my temporary difficulties, and it must be abolished." Wu Mingxiong said with a smile: "Okay, okay, old Chen, you think that if your deputy secretary is wrong, I can't rule you, don't you? Let me ask you, after autumn, will you still work on the second phase of the Damohe project? If you want to do it, you have to admit that this treaty is equal and indefeasible." Chen Zhongyang also smiled: "When I go to Damohe, I will send Shanghao to you!" Wu Jie called out: "Chen Uncle, are you going to take Shang Hao as a hostage? Isn’t that too cruel?” Shang Hao said, “I want to go with Grandpa Chen to see giant pandas.” Wu Jie put her hand on Shang Hao’s nose, He made a grimace and said, "I'll kill you little traitor!" Chen Zhongyang said, "It's better not to call it a rebellion, but a fire line uprising." Wu Mingxiong persuaded Wu Jie away with a smile: "Okay, Xiaojie, I'm sorry. Comrade Shanghao has already started an uprising, so let’s let him go and take the Transformers with him.” Then he said to Chen Zhongyang: “However, old Chen, the treaty is still a treaty, and it will not change for fifty years!” Chen Zhongyang Happily carrying Shang Hao away, Wu Mingxiong and Wu Jie sent them downstairs.Downstairs, before parting, Chen Zhongyang said again: "Old Wu, I suddenly remembered something: Is it possible to consider the second phase of the water conservancy project to integrate the coal mining subsidence area of ​​the Sankong Bridge in the urban area? Qingqing Let a river of running water flow in the silt, and then build some scenic spots, isn’t it the West Lake of Hangzhou?” Wu Mingxiong clapped his hands and said, “It’s really a hero who sees the same thing! Mayor Shu and I also thought of this, not only to build a lake , but also to build a few artificial islands, build a swimming pool, and build a first-class large-scale entertainment park in the country. Because of this, our ring road encloses this subsidence area of ​​six or seven square kilometers. Of course, this Whether everything can be realized, whether this subsidence area full of stinky water can become a new West Lake, depends on whether you, the old dragon king, can bring a stream of living water." Chen Zhongyang said: "Old Wu, you put a hundred of them here. Heart, where there is dragon, there is water. When you are doing urban planning, you should take this lake seriously early. This is a short-term goal, not a long-term goal. It should be completed in your old Wu Ren. Isn’t it? !" Wu Mingxiong patted Chen Zhongyang on the shoulder and said, "We want to go together again. Is this good? Let's go up and talk, and you can help me with ideas. I have a bold idea, that is, in principle, the city Do this thing without paying, and do it well.” Chen Zhongyang became excited: “Let’s go, let’s go up and talk, if it’s really possible to do such a big thing without paying, it’s a bit Meaning!" So, the two went upstairs again and sat down on the sofa again.
