Chapter 3 Is the Sun or the Moon Rising? At 10:25 on June 25, 1998, the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee As soon as Jiang Chaolin stepped out of the elevator in the main building of the Municipal Party Committee, he saw that Mayor Wen Chunming and members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee had gathered in front of the main building, preparing to welcome Liu Huabo, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and relevant leaders of the Provincial Party Committee.He also noticed that Sun Yadong, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, was in a high mood, talking to Shen Chun, the head of the Propaganda Department, with a smile on his face.

Sun Yadong said: "...I have already said that Gao Changhe will not stay in the provincial party committee for long. Look, you are sure?" Shen Chun said: "I didn't expect this. I thought Gao Changhe would be the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee and the Standing Committee..." Jiang Chaolin walked over and jokingly said, "What? Are you the head of the amateur organization again?" Glancing at Sun Yadong, he asked, "Hey, where is Comrade Hua Bo's convoy?" Sun Yadong replied: "I just received a call from Director Chen of the Public Security Bureau. Director Chen reported from the leading car that the convoy has already boarded the third ring viaduct and will be there soon."

Jiang Chaolin nodded, walked up to Wen Chunming, and took the time to talk to Wen Chunming about the flood control: "Chunming, last night I walked around the embankment and looked around. I was really shocked. This year's flood situation Not only did it come early, but it was really serious! I told Wang Shaobo that from now on, the Binhai Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government must have someone on duty on the embankment 24 hours a day, and keep in touch with the Municipal Flood Control Headquarters at any time." Wen Chunming was a little moved, and said with a wry smile: "Secretary Jiang, you really stood on the last post!"

Jiang Chaolin said with a smile: "No, the guard will be changed soon, and it will not be my business in the future. Don't you always say, 'The municipal party committee sits on the bow, the government walks on the shore, the people raise their hands, and the CPPCC dangles' ——I, I will raise my hand from now on..." Wen Chunming said: "Old secretary, I don't think you can just raise your hand..." At this point, two police cars with Pingyang license plates drove into the compound of the Municipal Party Committee. Behind the Pingyang police car, the special car of Provincial Party Committee Secretary Liu Huabo and Provincial Party Committee Deputy Secretary Ma Wanli and their accompanying vehicles followed closely. Finally, the Provincial Public Security Bureau of a police car.After the cars stopped in front of the main building, Liu Huabo, Ma Wanli and Gao Changhe, the new secretary of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee, got out of their respective cars.

Liu Huabo, who was walking ahead, stepped forward and held Jiang Chaolin's hand and said, "Comrade Chaolin, are you waiting in a hurry?" Jiang Chaolin smiled and said: "No rush, no rush, it didn't exceed our expectations, 260 kilometers, one highway, that's more than two hours' drive. What's more, there is our leading car when we enter the boundary of Pingyang Reporting all the way, we have a good idea of ​​where the leaders are." Ma Wanli chuckled: "Old Jiang, you never thought about us taking a helicopter? Huh?" Jiang Chaolin also smiled: "Secretary Ma, you are not so eager to let me step down, are you?"

At this time, Liu Huabo had walked up to Wen Chunming and was shaking hands with Wen Chunming. Hearing Jiang Chaolin's words, he immediately turned around and said, "Oh, Comrade Chaolin, do you really want to make ten thousand year stakes in Pingyang? Huh?" Jiang Chaolin said: "What are you doing for ten thousand years? It's just to bury this old bone in Pingyang!" Liu Huabo said again and again: "Okay, okay, then, leave me a place in the Yinghai Cemetery in Pingyang. I, after Ye Luo returns to her roots, I will also come to be your company!" .” Jiang Chaolin laughed loudly: "Secretary Hua Bo, you still want to drag me to reform the Palace of the King of Hell?!"

Gao Changhe shook Jiang Chaolin's hand, and immediately said: "Old secretary, I really admire you and Secretary Huabo. You really have you in front of Lord Yan. I'm afraid it won't work if you don't reform! Your old department can be counted as me!" Jiang Chaolin laughed and said, "You Gao Changhe, what joke are you talking about?! You are a cadre crossing the century, what kind of old department? You have to make this century a success, and lead us in Pingyang to make this century a success!" He slapped the back of Gao Changhe's hand , and said affectionately, "You know? More than half a year ago, I moved your mind and wanted to dig you to Pingyang!"

Gao Changhe smiled: "Is it after we met at the provincial party committee work meeting at the end of last year?" Jiang Chaolin said: "Yes, your grand theory about whether the surname is public or private has made me think deeply!" Gao Changhe said: "Old Secretary, you and your comrades in Pingyang have done a good job. You have solved the problem of surnames and private surnames in practice! I was writing an article according to the instructions of Secretary Huabo. , I found the facts of Pingyang Private Industrial Park very convincing, so I found you at the meeting."

Jiang Chaolin asked with concern: "Where is this article posted? I really want to read it." Gao Changhe pointed to Liu Huabo, and said in a low voice, "The big boss later refused to let me post it, saying that there was something, so let's do it first, so as not to cause a lot of discussion in the whole country." Jiang Chaolin smiled and said: "Our big boss is very shrewd. When he was running a township enterprise in Pingyang, he just did it without talking about it. Pretend not to hear..." But Liu Huabo heard this, and immediately yelled: "Hey, Chao Lin, don't just speak ill of me, please sit in the room quickly! Why are you always chatting with Gao Changhe endlessly? You will have more in the future. Time!"

Jiang Chaolin was stunned, then walked to the front of the team and said, "Please, please, leaders, please..." As soon as he sat down in the meeting room of the Municipal Committee, Ma Wanli quietly reminded Liu Huabo, "Comrade Huabo, I don't think Lao Jiang's mood is quite right!" Liu Huabo said: "What's wrong? I think it's okay. Huh?" Ma Wanli was worried: "To be honest, Comrade Huabo, I am a little worried about the unity of the future team." Liu Huabo waved his hand: "Lao Ma, we don't want to be prophets now, let's see it first."

Having said that, Liu Huabo knew it well: Jiang Chaolin not only had emotions for Ma Wanli, but also seemed to have great emotions, and it was revealed in the hidden Jifeng dialogue as soon as they met.This made him quite surprised and disturbed.Liu Huabo believes that this is not in line with Jiang Chaolin's usual style.Jiang Chaolin has always been "political". Although he has always looked down upon Ma Wanli who came from Changjiang City, he has never said anything about Ma Wanli in front of others.But today it was very strange that he actually said all the things that Ma Wanli was eager to get him to step down.This shows that Jiang Chaolin has a grudge against this change of office, and puts the blame on Ma Wanli. The next enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee went well, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.After Minister Qi of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee announced the appointment and dismissal decision on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, Jiang Chaolin immediately expressed his position, resolutely implemented the decision of the Provincial Party Committee, and assisted the new secretary Gao Changhe to do a good job in Pingyang.Gao Changhe also made a speech, saying that he would learn from the old comrades in Pingyang, familiarize himself with the situation as soon as possible, devote himself to work, and strive to live up to the trust of the provincial party committee and the nine million people in Pingyang. What everyone didn't expect was that Gao Changhe repeated what he had said in the provincial party committee yesterday: "... To be honest, I am really trembling when I come to Pingyang, an economically developed city, to be the secretary of the municipal party committee. Until today, when the car was driving all the way to Pingyang, I was still asking myself: Gao Changhe, Gao Changhe, how can you pick such a big peach by reaching out? Secretary Jiang Chaolin and the previous municipal party committee team put up such a dazzling one A benchmark, can you and your new team jump over it?! It’s not easy for you to cross the century!” Jiang Chaolin interjected with a smile: "Comrade Changhe, don't say that! Pingyang's benchmark is higher, and the foundation in all aspects is naturally good. With such a good foundation, I believe that you will not only get over it, but also do better than you." Our old comrades are better! Don’t talk about picking peaches—you are not the first to talk about picking peaches. I was the first. Ten years ago, I picked a big peach from Comrade Hua Bo. Taozi! Without the great foundation left by Comrade Hua Bo, there would be no rapid development of Pingyang in the past ten years." Liu Huabo laughed and said, "Then who did I pick the peaches from? It should be regarded as picking the peaches from Mr. Liang Qingping, right?" He waved his hand, "I agree with Comrade Chao Lin's opinion, don't talk about picking peaches. The achievements of our reforms are made by such a succession of people; the history of our reforms is written with the joint efforts of one generation after another at the risk of their lives. It is impossible for anyone to conquer the world and history. As an individual No matter how big the official is or how long we have been in office, we are just a wave of the torrent of the times. We have been hit and fought hard, so we can comfort ourselves, can't we, Comrade Chaolin?" Jiang Chaolin nodded: "That's a good point!" Ma Wanli also said: "Comrade Hua Bo pointed out the essence of the problem, that is, the history of our reform has always been written by the power of the people. The chairman said back then, 'The people, only the people, create history. Momentum'. How well said..." Liu Huabo noticed that when Ma Wanli said this, Jiang Chaolin's expression was a little unnatural. After the meeting, Mayor Wen Chunming asked everyone to have dinner at Pingyang Hotel. Liu Huabo wanted to have a good talk with Jiang Chaolin, so he said to Jiang Chaolin when he went out: "Hey, Chaolin, I'm not used to the food in the hotel. Go, go, go to your house and eat hand-rolled noodles!" Jiang Chaolin was quite surprised: "Secretary Hua Bo, what are you kidding? You have so many great leaders coming to Pingyang, and Comrade Changhe is here for the first day. Is it appropriate for us to eat hand-made noodles?" Liu Huabo laughed and said, "What's inappropriate? Are you afraid that Secretary Ma and Gao Changhe won't eat without you? Huh?" Jiang Chaolin hesitated and said: "Another day, there will be a city-wide party and government cadre meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon." Liu Huabo pointed to his watch: "It's twelve o'clock now, and there are still three hours until three o'clock in the afternoon, so there's still time." As he spoke, he gave Jiang Chaolin a hand, "Let's go, let's go, eating hand-rolled noodles can also help you Binh Duong saves hospitality expenses." Jiang Chaolin smiled wryly: "How can I save hospitality expenses? If the secretary of the provincial party committee doesn't eat, a table of meals is still a table of meals." That being said, Jiang Chaolin finally agreed. So, the two drove to Jiang Chaolin's house to eat hand-made noodles. After sitting in the car, Liu Huabo asked, "Chaolin, is there something you can't figure out?" Jiang Chaolin said: "What can't you figure out? When it's time, you have to get off when it's time to get off." Liu Huabo sighed: "Next year I have to leave too. We old comrades will definitely not be able to cross the century! The history of the future will be written by younger comrades like Gao Changhe!" Jiang Chaolin said calmly: "This is the law of nature, no one can resist." Liu Huabo patted Jiang Chaolin's hand: "Damn, I'm relieved if your old man thinks this way! To tell you the truth, everyone knows your influence in Pingyang, and some comrades are worried that the team in Pingyang will not be united in the future..." Jiang Chaolin smiled: "Are these comrades worrying too much? I have already left the Pingyang Municipal Committee, and I will attend the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee in the future. If you, the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, don't trust me, I can express my opinion in the Standing Committee It only has ears but no mouth. Okay?" Liu Huabo frowned: "What is this called? Ah? General my army?" Jiang Chaolin was not timid at all: "Chief, you are the one who will lead my army—do you want to eat hand-made noodles, or do you want to talk about work with me? If you want to talk about work, let's go to the office of the Municipal People's Congress to talk. I, the director of the Municipal People's Congress, will report to you, the director of the Provincial People's Congress." Liu Huabo shook his head: "Old man, we worked in the same team for so many years ten years ago, now, we really don't even want to treat me to a bowl of noodles? Huh?" Jiang Chaolin sighed, "I'm afraid this bowl of noodles won't taste good..." Liu Huabo said with a smile: "I have to eat whether it's delicious or not. I still want to listen to your thoughts while eating your noodles like in the past. Even if we go to Yinghai Cemetery in the future, we still have to be buddies!" " Jiang Chaolin was also moved by his true feelings, and said in a low voice: "Well, Hua Bo, I will open my heart to you!" At this time, the car drove into the compound of the municipal party committee dormitory, and stopped in front of an apartment building with a red sign of "Public Servant Building". Jiang Chaolin's wife Wang Yuzhen, who had been notified earlier, was waiting downstairs. At twelve o'clock on June 25, 1998, Jiangdi, Binhai City The tide is raging, the waves are pounding on the shore, and the muddy water of the Changjiang River is rolling eastward. On the river embankment, an off-road jeep was driving slowly. Wang Shaobo, secretary of the Binhai Municipal Party Committee, who was waiting for an intercom, was directing the flood control work of the Thirty Li River Embankment.The weather was fine, but the wind from the river was surprisingly strong, sometimes rushing into the car with a burst of fishy smell and water vapor, allowing Wang Shaobo to experience the thrilling feeling. It is indeed thrilling, Wang Shaobo looked at the tumbling and roaring river and thought, if there is a gap in the thirty-mile river defense line, where the embankment breaks, the loss will not be a matter of hundreds of millions, it may be more than a billion, tens of millions 100 million!The Binhai under his leadership is not an ordinary small county, but a large and important county-level city with a population of over one million. It is not only the Pingyang area, but also the county-level city with the strongest economic strength in the whole province.In recent years, under the general recession of township and village enterprises across the country, the development momentum of Binhai has been strong and unabated, and it has reached the point of second to third in the world. According to the words of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee, it is called fruitful.In any case, he couldn't let the Jiang defense line fall into his hands, and soak all these fruits in the river. When I saw Jiang Chaolin on the river embankment last night, Jiang Chaolin said with a dark face: "From now on, your Binhai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government must focus on flood control. There must be a person in charge on the river embankment. When necessary , Even the municipal party committee has to move to the river embankment for me! If something goes wrong with the river defense and floods Binhai City, your municipal party committee team will have to take the blame and resign!" Since this morning, more than half of the municipal party committee members have been on the embankment, and they have been commanding migrant workers to reinforce the dangerous section of the embankment day and night. More than 10,000 migrant workers in seven towns along the river have already been on the embankment. crowd.All the accumulation workers and volunteer workers in the countryside have been used, and even government personnel have been used.The slogan put forward by Wang Shaobo on behalf of the Binhai Municipal Party Committee is: "Swear to live and die with the river embankment". Now, this slogan has become a placard erected on the embankment of the river. When Wang Shaobo got off the car, he saw that under a placard not far away, many migrant workers and government officials were filling straw bags with soil and stones.Several dump trucks and road rollers also drove up, with rumbling noises and bursts of black smoke. From a distance, it looked a bit like a war. At this time, the telephone in Wang Shaobo's hand rang: "Secretary Wang, Secretary Wang, did you hear that? Please answer." Wang Shaobo replied to the intercom: "I am Wang Shaobo, I am listening." "I'm Li Sanli, Secretary of the Party Committee of Li Weizi Town. There is a dangerous situation here. Due to the impact of the river, the embankment of more than 20 meters is collapsing. The situation... the situation is very serious. You...would you like to come and see? " Wang Shaobo became angry when he heard it: "The river is impacted? Other places have also been impacted by river water. Why didn't they collapse, but you, Li Weizi, collapsed? Li Sanli, let me ask you, how do you do your flood control work? Ah? The Municipal Party Committee , Did you seriously implement the municipal government’s repeated instructions on flood control?!” The voice on the intercom turned into tears: "Secretary Wang, this...you can't really blame us, the soil quality of our section of the embankment is too poor, you can see it..." Wang Shaobo became impatient: "Okay, okay, don't panic, I'll go there right away!" Then, he jumped into the jeep and said to the driver, "Hurry up, go to Lixuzi!" Sitting in the bumpy car, Wang Shaobo was still yelling, "Li Sanli, listen to me, even if the soil quality is poor, you cannot escape the responsibility! Did the soil quality start to deteriorate today? Ah? Did you pay attention? What did you do? It’s really not possible, all of you officials will fill in the river for me! That’s all!” When I rushed to Li Weizi Duan, I found that the situation was really serious.The embankment in Lixuzi section was built with sandy soil. Although the embankment was reinforced during the dry season and slope protection was built with stones in some places, due to the poor soil quality, the sand under the stones was washed away by the flood. The embankment of more than 20 meters collapsed, and even a Jiefang car parked on the embankment to unload stones fell into the water.Fortunately, there were no casualties when Wang Shaobo arrived. The impatient Wang Shaobo became unreasonable, and while he was busy on the levee with a radio in his hand, he pointed at the nose of Li Sanli, secretary of the Party Committee of Lixuzi Town, and cursed endlessly: "...you are fooling me! Why don't the slope protection Build more bricks at the bottom of the river? Ah? Why can’t we run a few miles to fetch soil?” Li Sanli argued: "Secretary Wang, you don't know that our township is surrounded by sand for dozens of miles..." Wang Shaobo didn't listen at all, staring at the river lapping on the bank and the river embankment that was still collapsing from time to time, he yelled into the intercom: "Hey, hello, Daquan Township, do you hear me? Quickly send me your people and Get the car up for me, and get to Liweizi Section immediately, right away! The car is full of materials, if something goes wrong, I will remove you all!" Li Sanli was still chattering aside: "Secretary Wang, it's really not our fault. We have always seriously implemented the instructions of the municipal party committee and the municipal government..." Wang Shaobo was furious, "Is this how it should be implemented? Don't emphasize objectivity to me. Go to work. It's your luck if you don't break the dike today. If the dike breaks, you all give me a resignation report!" Someone kindly reminded: "Secretary Wang, stand back and don't fall into the river, it's still collapsing in front of you." Wang Shaobo had a dark face, and said angrily: "You all stand up for me, party members and cadres take the lead!" The party members and cadres of Li Sanli and Li Weizi all stood forward obediently, lifted sandbags and stones one by one and threw them into the river, splashing water everywhere.Some nearby farmers also donated their large wardrobes, each of which was filled with earth and rocks and sank into the river, gradually forming a shape between the collapsed slope and the existing embankment. The Jiefang truck that sank earlier Half of it was exposed. At one o'clock, the convoy of stone transporters from Daquan Township came up, and so did the people. Wang Shaobo felt more at ease, thinking that he was going to Pingyang to hold the city's party and government cadre meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon, so he prepared to leave Li Weizi. However, at this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and big raindrops fell, and the untamped embankment was still dangerous.Wang Shaobo didn't dare to leave, and told Mayor Jiang Kunhua on the intercom that he should go to Pingyang for a meeting first, and then he would go later. I didn’t think about it, but I didn’t do it. When the migrant workers with Li Weizi were driving pilings in the wind and rain, a wave swept Wang Shaobo and two migrant workers into the river. If Wang Shaobo and the two migrant workers hadn’t tied ropes around their waists, Then it will really flow eastward with a river of spring water. Dragged out of the water by comrades on the shore, Wang Shaobo was unconscious with blood all over his face. The stones that sank into the river almost killed Wang Shaobo. At 13:00 on June 25, 1998, Jiang Chaolin's home in Pingyang Everything is so familiar. Ten years have passed, Pingyang has undergone such earth-shaking changes, but the home of Jiang Chaolin, secretary of the municipal party committee, has hardly changed.Jiang Chaolin and his family still live in the "Public Servant Building" named by the municipal party committee back then, and they are still two middle apartments on the fourth floor.The furniture is still so messy and outdated, from discounted desks and old-fashioned sofas from the 1950s to Czech-style high and low cabinets and large wardrobes that were popular in the 1970s, nothing new that keeps up with the trend of the times. Liu Huabo was eating the hand-rolled noodles made by Jiang Chaolin's wife, Wang Yuzhen, looking around, shaking his head, "Chaolin, you are outdated, your home as the secretary of the municipal party committee does not match the image of your big economic city. ! Look, not a single new weapon!" Jiang Chaolin smiled and said, "Why not? This big color TV was only replaced the year before last, 25 inches." Only then did Liu Huabo notice that the color TVs on the high and low cabinets were bigger than before. Wang Yuzhen also said: "Secretary Liu, there are a lot of new things. The refrigerator has also been replaced with a double door. Take a look at the window over there. There is also an air conditioner. It is much better than before." Liu Huabo still shook his head: "No way, no way, the homes of some petty bureaucrats in our provincial capital are much better than yours, and each nest is as luxurious as a hotel! A renovation costs 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. " Jiang Chaolin snorted, "Then I suggest that the discipline inspection department check out these petty bureaucrats! With their legal income, can they turn the small nest into a luxury hotel? Where did so much money come from?! My family may be related to a The image of the big economy does not match, but it matches our wages very well. The country has not yet implemented a high salary system. So far, the officials of the Communist Party are still poor officials. As long as they do not corrupt the law, they can only live at this level !" Liu Huabo nodded and asked, "Chaolin, do you feel that you have suffered a disadvantage when you speak your mind?" Jiang Chaolin said: "Being an official means worrying about the world's worries first, and enjoying the world's joys later—oh, by the way, you said this at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee back then. It seems that you decided to build this public servant I said it when I was upstairs!" Liu Huabo smiled and reminded: "I also said that those who want to get rich by relying on the power in their hands, and those who want to get rich first, should not live in this public servant building! So, seeing that your brother didn't get rich first, I am very happy. An Ran." Jiang Chaolin sighed: "You are safe, I am not safe. I am not afraid of suffering a little loss, but I will not do it if I am angry! Secretary Huabo, what do you mean by Deputy Secretary Ma Wanli? After so many years, why do you always look at us in Pingyang? Not pleasing to the eye? Ah? Listen to what he said today: The history of our reform has always been written by the power of the people. This is very true. I also said this at the opening ceremony of the cross-sea bridge yesterday. In the past ten years, Without the support of the people of Binh Duong, without the struggle of the people of Binh Duong, there would be no Binh Duong today, and I say this everywhere I go.” Liu Huabo said: "Isn't this very good, it doesn't contradict Comrade Ma Wanli!" Jiang Chaolin put the bowl on the table for a meal: "No, there is a big contradiction here! Ma Wanli means that our Pingyang Municipal Committee is nothing more than that. Then I have to ask: why is Comrade Ma Wanli not in Changjiang City?" Also write down some reform history for people to remember? Is it because the people in Changjiang are not good, or is he incompetent? How can such a comrade become the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and today he keeps pointing fingers at us? Is this fair!" Liu Huabo was silent for a long time before he said: "Ma Wanli cannot be blamed for Changjiang's situation. Besides, every comrade has his strengths and weaknesses! Comrade Ma Wanli lacks courage in local work, but in the province He is still dedicated to his leadership position.” Jiang Chaolin smiled wryly: "Hua Bo, now that I'm out, we're talking again. Can you let go of your airs as the secretary of the provincial party committee and tell me what's on your mind? I don't want to hear these very principled official words!" Liu Huabo smiled: "Okay, okay, let's make a compromise, shall we? Let's follow the principles, and we don't speak the official language—communists, it's okay not to talk about principles!" Jiang Chaolin shook his head: "I've convinced you!" Liu Huabo patted Jiang Chaolin on the shoulder: "I've convinced you—I'm afraid you're the only one who dares to compete with me like this in the province! That's right, you have capital, and you are a hero of our party, a national hero!" Jiang Chaolin hurriedly said: "Hey, Chief, you said this, not me! Besides, I advise you to say less in the future, don't think that I am happy after hearing this, to be honest, I am very unhappy People who don’t know the inside story think that you have lifted me up to the sky, but I know best in my heart, you are affirming abstractly and denying concretely.” Liu Huabo got serious: "Chaolin, why do you think this way? How can you specifically deny it?" Jiang Chaolin said: "Then let me tell you the truth. Why can't Wen Chunming take over as the secretary of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee? You know this comrade well. When you were the secretary of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee, you promoted Wen Chunming from the post of Binhai County Party Secretary. As the deputy mayor. After you were promoted, Chunming and I formed a team. Over the past ten years, we have worked hard and done a lot, and made great contributions to the rise of Pingyang. When I reported a while ago, I and you As I said, Chunming went abroad again and again to carry out grass seeds. Even many customs ports knew that there was such a good mayor in Pingyang, and they were all moved by him. Why can’t you move your provincial party committee? Now, as a city in Pingyang, The framework of a modern metropolis has been set up, and the next important task is to beautify the city and move towards the level of an international metropolis. It is time for Wen Chunming to be used. Why don’t you use him? Why do you just seize a flat rolling mill? Governor Chen Honghe was in charge of the state ministries and commissions a few years ago, and the flat rolling mill project was approved by her. Why didn't she speak a word of justice? Just look at Ma Wanli and the one in our city Sun Yadong is talking nonsense! I can follow the instructions of the provincial party committee and do Wen Chunming's work, but I really don't accept it in my heart, I think you, the chief executive, and the provincial party committee are not fair!" Liu Huabo was deep in thought, and rarely smoked a cigarette. Jiang Chaolin drank his saliva and said, "So, I wondered, do some comrades regard Pingyang as my Jiang Chaolin's independent kingdom? Do they want to make something out of Pingyang and deny Pingyang's reform and opening up in the past 20 years? I'm not just thinking wildly, there's a lot of rumors in the provincial capital, it's said that corruption in Pingyang is serious, and it's said that Deputy Secretary Ma Wanli has lost his temper. Isn't that right, Huabo?" Only then did Liu Huabo put out the cigarette in his hand, and asked, "Chaolin, have you finished?" Jiang Chaolin nodded: "I'm done talking—to declare, because I used to be an old comrade in the same team, I said whatever I wanted, but I will still resolutely implement the decision made by you and the provincial party committee, without discounting it, and applying the 'Cultural Revolution' ’, that is, ‘Implement what you understand, and implement what you don’t understand’.” Liu Huabo said: "Okay, with this premise, we can talk about it. Let's talk about Wen Chunming's problem. The provincial party committee has comments on Wen Chunming. I want to say responsibly that the problem of the flat rolling mill is not serious. The provincial party committee appointed Gao Changhe on the basis of extensive consultation, mainly considering the issue of succession across the century. After all, Wen Chunming is fifty-five years old and can only serve one term; Seventeen years old, at least two terms, that is to say, at least until 2008 in the next century. The development experience of Pingyang in the past ten years proves that a relatively stable leadership team is crucial to the sustainable development of a region. It is very beneficial. Now let’s talk about the issue of anti-corruption and upholding integrity. Comrade Chaolin, we must be soberly aware that this is a major issue related to the life and death of the party and the country. I don’t agree with this view. I said at the work meeting of the provincial party committee that the party and the country cannot be destroyed without anti-corruption. After the basic point is determined, I will ask whether there is corruption in Pingyang? I think there is. , some places may still be serious. I can reveal one thing here: Comrade Ma Wanli did have a reason to lose his temper! When dealing with the corrupt deputy mayor of Changjiang, Comrade Ma Wanli also lost his temper.” Jiang Chaolin was stunned, and could hardly believe that this was what the old squad leader said. Liu Huabo continued: "So, Comrade Chaolin, as leaders, we should not be so sensitive, and we should not immediately think of cutting down the flag just because we want to investigate and deal with some corrupt elements in Pingyang. The reform achievements of Pingyang in the past 20 years are there. This is not just a flag, but a city full of tall buildings, no one can cut it down!" Jiang Chaolin sighed and smoked a cigarette. Liu Huabo said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Old man, you just said that I was unfair to the provincial party committee, but I am not convinced. I think the provincial party committee is quite fair to you. I told you about it last time. I want to invite you to the provincial capital and recommend you to be the deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress. Think about it again, brother, do you want to go to the provincial capital with me?" Jiang Chaolin refused straight away: "Thank you, old squad leader! As I said last time in the provincial capital, I never thought of turning revolutionary work into a business, and I never thought of asking the provincial party committee to criticize me or any comrades." Reward for meritorious deeds, I have taken root in Pingyang, mainly because I am used to it." Liu Huabo laughed and said, "Then don't blame me and the provincial party committee for being unfair." Jiang Chaolin said: "If you want to say it, you can only say it in front of your old squad leader. I still understand the principles of organization." Liu Huabo thought for a while, and then said: "There was also an accident in the team handover arrangement this time. I really didn't expect that the team was fixed here, the flood came down there, and Gao Changhe was not familiar with the situation. Old man, you still have to Be more responsible." Jiang Chaolin nodded: "Don't worry, I won't watch such a good city of Pingyang soak into the flood. Knowing that you big chiefs are coming, I thought, if possible, please go to the Changjiang River have a look." Liu Huabo immediately said: "Okay, let's go and have a look—take some time to go to Binhai, you can go with me!" This conversation called "heart-to-heart talk" didn't talk about anything. When he walked out of this old public servant's building, Liu Huabo thought to himself, what Jiang Chaolin said before he entered the door was absolutely right, this bowl of noodles is indeed unpalatable, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to digest! At 13:10 on June 25, 1998, Lieshan County Party Committee A little later, the Standing Committee of the Lieshan County Party Committee didn't look like it was about to disperse.Geng Zijing, secretary of the county party committee who presided over the meeting, was still discussing issues related to strengthening the construction of the new district.The construction of the new district has always been under the supervision of the county magistrate Zhao Chengquan, but Geng Zijing, the secretary of the county party committee, knows it well. The sudden fall of Chengquan did not affect the construction work of the new district.Geng Zijing described each project in the new district in detail, and implemented them one by one on the spot to the standing committee members present at the meeting. Jinhua also allocated an electrolytic aluminum project. In the end, Geng Zijing said to everyone with emotion: "...Zhao Chengquan is a rare and good county magistrate. He was desperate to work, and he was exhausted at his post! We all need to learn from Comrade Zhao Chengquan's spirit. The county party committee The Propaganda Department had compiled the materials a while ago and reported to the city. A reporter from the provincial newspaper also wrote an article and it was published today. I wonder if you have read it? The title is very eye-catching and very good. Rising New District. I think we need to do more work to strive for the province and city to set up Comrade Chengquan as a model. Comrade Chengquan has advanced liver cancer, and time is running out, so we must hurry up.” Director Long of the Propaganda Department immediately reported: "Secretary Geng, yesterday I had a phone call with County Magistrate Zhao and told him what you meant, but he disagreed with all his life. He first said that everyone did the work, and then said it was not good. . County Magistrate Zhao doesn't quite agree with this article in the provincial newspaper..." Geng Zijing was full of arrogance and waved his hand: "Don't worry about what Zhao Chengquan thinks or say. I don't think there's anything wrong with this. He has Zhao Chengquan's life at stake, so he can't convince others?" After thinking for a while, he said, "Now there are some irresponsible discussions about our Lieshan outside, and at this time when the Pingyang team is handing over, the negative effect cannot be underestimated. Of course we don't argue, and we don't have time to argue. We can publicize and publicize Zhao Chengquan To set up a model like Zhao Chengquan is to give a positive answer to those irresponsible comments!" Jin Hua was not surprised at Geng Zijing's words.Jinhua knew what Geng Zijing meant by "those irresponsible comments", and he wanted to verify the authenticity of these "irresponsible comments" at the county party committee meeting.During his hospitalization in Pingyang, Hou Shaojun, the deputy mayor of Datun Township, came and told Jinhua with certainty that the county party committee might propose him as the director of the township and township enterprise bureau. Just say good things, as long as you don't object.Just to get no objection, the deputy mayor left an envelope containing 8,000 yuan in cash in the fruit bag. Unexpectedly, just when Jinhua thought of this question, Geng Zijing raised this question: "That's all about the work in the new district. It's getting late. Before the meeting ends, we have to make a decision: Director Wang of the Township Enterprise Bureau of our county has arrived and is about to step down. The Organization Department of the County Party Committee inspected two comrades. One is The former deputy director of the Township Enterprise Bureau and the other is Hou Shaojun, the deputy mayor of Datun Township, let’s discuss and see which one is more suitable? Hurry up, at three o’clock in the afternoon, we have to rush to Pingyang to participate in the city’s party and government cadre meeting.” Minister Qin of the Organization Department immediately introduced the investigation situation, which had already shown a tendency. Therefore, once Minister Qin finished his introduction, there was no need for Geng Zijing to speak on his own. Deputy Secretary Chen of the county party committee who often went to Datun Township first mentioned Hou Shaojun's Everyone agreed with him, and a new director of the township enterprise bureau was born in front of Jinhua in a blink of an eye. Jinhua felt like a dream: How could this really happen?What does this fact show?In order to not object, she got a red envelope of 8,000 yuan during the hospitalization. How big a red envelope should everyone agree with?How big a red envelope should the nominated Deputy Secretary Chen and Geng Zijing get... When Jinhua thought this way, Geng Zijing had already stood up, and while tidying up the documents on the table, he said: "...well, this time the Standing Committee will stop here.做做赵成全县长的工作，龙部长，你们宣传部再以烈山县委的名义向平阳市委作个汇报……” 与会的常委们纷纷起身，准备离去。 金华脑子一热，不知道哪来的勇气，站起来道：“哎，耿书记，同志们，我……我还有两句话想说说……” 耿子敬没当回事，屁股根本没往椅子上坐：“好，好，小金，你说，你说。” 金华婉转地道：“耿书记，侯少俊提乡镇企业局局长是不是不太合适？这位同志从没在乡镇企业局工作过，听说，大屯乡的群众对他也有不少议论……” 耿子敬怔了一下，马上把脸拉了下来：“小金呀，你来烈山工作的时间毕竟太短，对侯少俊同志还是缺少了解呀。你知道不知道，侯少俊同志做副乡长一直管乡镇企业，很有一套哩！至于群众的议论，我们要做具体分析。现在的干部难当啊，想干事就要得罪人嘛！” 金华还想说什么，耿子敬却已很不耐烦了，挥挥手道：“好了，好了，不要说了，你个人可以保留意见，但是，任用侯少俊同志做乡镇企业局局长，这次常委会上大家已经通过了，你就是反对，也是一票！” 金华心里一惊，忙改口道：“耿书记，您误会了，我……我不是反对，而是……而是觉得把侯少俊同志提为大屯乡乡长也许……也许更合适……” 耿子敬根本不理，甩手出了门，走到门口又回头说了句：“小金，电解铝厂的项目你可得给我抓紧了，你知道的，赵县长是昏倒在谈这个项目的会场上的，相信赵县长的精神也能感动感动你！” 金华连连应着，脊背上禁不住冷汗直冒。 一九九八年六月二十五日十五时平阳人民会堂 平阳市党政干部大会在北京路三号人民会堂举行，从会议一开始，门外便风狂雨骤，惊雷阵阵。风狂雨骤倒没什么，讨厌的是雷声。时而炸响的雷声，一而再、再而三地压住了省委书记刘华波和新任市委书记高长河的讲话声，让市委办公室主任刘意如一阵阵坐立不安。刘意如便一次次往主席台一侧的调音室跑，问工作人员，能不能把音量调大一些，再大一些？工作人员直摇头，说是外面打雷，怎么调效果也好不了。刘意如这才认定自己尽了职，悄悄松了口气，坐定下来听会。 主席台上，姜超林在微笑，不知是因为省委书记刘华波代表省委做出的高度评价，还是为了把政治强人的角色扮演到底，反正他在微笑，不时还勾过头和市长文春明说点什么。文春明绷着脸，嘴角带着一丝寻常人难以察觉的讥讽——这位曾经接班呼声很高的市长在讥讽谁？是讥讽正在讲话的新任市委书记高长河？还是在讥讽省委？在省委的高度评价后面难道没有点意味深长的东西吗？如果没有，姜超林的亲密战友文春明咋就没上去，而让那个高长河上了？这么说来，省委书记刘华波并不像私下传的那样是姜超林的后台吧？ 刘华波老多了，刘意如记得，刘华波在平阳做市委书记时，曾经是多么意气风发呀，在办公室走廊上时不时地还会吹几声口哨，现在坐在主席台上，已十足是个老官僚了。你从他脸上能看到权力带来的威严，能看到一个政治家的成熟气派，却看不到多少当年的朝气了。当年这人多不得了呀，报上公开说了，乡镇企业是社会上不正之风的风源，刘华波在市委工作会议上桌子一拍，竟敢说：乡镇企业就是乡镇企业，该请客照请，该送礼照送，出了问题我负责。为搞煤炭，这位市委书记组织着一帮乡镇企业的头头们三下山西，硬是在能源最紧张的时候，让全市的乡镇企业开足马力向前冲。 都传说马万里副书记和刘华波书记不和，此刻，却看不出二人有什么不和的样子。两位省委领导在交头接耳。What are they talking about?难得一笑的马万里副书记居然笑了！是为姜超林这位老同志的驯服，还是为新书记高长河的姿态？ 高长河的姿态不错，正说到要虚心向老同志学习，向平阳的干部群众学习，先做学生，后做市委书记。可这位擅长学习的高长河“同学”也真不简单，四十七岁就成了平阳这种经济大市的一把手，这究竟是托了他老丈人梁清平的福，还是真有水平？哦，不好，高长河的杯子里好像没水了，服务员也没想到过去倒水！ 刘意如停止了胡思乱想，于一连串炸雷声中提着水瓶走过去，给高长河的杯子里续满了水，然后悄悄放在高长河面前，动作轻得如风似雾，几乎没让高长河察觉到她的存在。 做市委办公室主任，就应该于不存在中显示自己的无时不在和无所不在。 高长河喝了口水，又讲了起来：“……同志们，你们对我有一个认识过程，我对你们也有一个认识过程。你们可以看看我是不是真心实意为平阳人民做实事，做大事。我呢，当然也要看看你们，看你们愿不愿意和我、和平阳新一届市委班子一起，为九百万平阳人民的根本利益奋斗拼搏……” What does this mean?新书记高长河究竟要看什么？真是为九百万平阳人民的利益而奋斗，还是别的什么？他言之意下，是不是号召平阳干部都投靠到他旗下来？姜超林怎么还在笑？她刘意如都听出了这活中的深意，姜超林会听不出吗？这位在平阳举足轻重的政治强人会容忍这种公然的挑战吗？ 根据经验判断，一个敏感、复杂而又痛苦的权力交接期已经开始了。这次权力的交接和以往不同，因为不是顺序接班，磨合的过程必将漫长而艰巨，作为一个市委办公室主任，她将面临着两难的选择：一边是以姜超林为代表的老市委，一边是以高长河为代表的新市委。她仍是市委办公室主任——至少到现在为止仍是，理论上讲属于高长河的新市委，可她又怎敢忽略姜超林这位老同志呢？姜超林毕竟在平阳经营了十年，六县市和各部委局办都是姜超林的人马，她对姜超林的势力必须有清醒的认识，这样才能进退有据…… 这时，高长河的讲话已进入了尾声：“……同志们，一个崭新的世纪就在眼前了，请同志们考虑一下，我们究竟以什么样的姿态迎接新世纪的到来？在从今天开始到二○○○年的最后一年多的时间里，我们还能干些什么？我想，梁清平、刘华波、姜超林三任勇于开拓的市委书记带领九百万平阳人民创造的辉煌，应该是我们跨向新世纪的起点，而不是终点！同志们，让我们在小平同志建设有中国特色社会主义光辉理论的指引下，高举党的十五大的旗帜，向着新世纪前进！” 党政干部大会在一片热烈的掌声中结束。 刘华波、马万里、姜超林、高长河等领导同志纷纷起身，准备离开主席台。 刘意如在台口跟上了高长河，把一份及时记下的未到会人员的名单递给了高长河，特别指出：市委副秘书长田立业无故缺席；滨海市委书记王少波因指挥防汛，由市长江昆华代为临时请假。 刘意如说得很随意，高长河听得也很随意，甚至连脚步也没停下来，而且，没容刘意如说完，已追着省委书记刘华波和马万里谈起了昌江防汛的事。 这让刘意如于失落之中悟到了自己的失策。这种高官云集的时候，哪能凑上去和这位新书记谈工作呢？会议一散，人家新书记就成了平阳的主人，拍好省委领导的马屁，是新书记的当务之急，她这个老办公室主任咋就忘了这一点？这真是聪明一世，糊涂一时哩！再说，姜超林会怎么看？会不会以为自己要改换门庭了？ 于是，便又在移动的人群中四处寻找老书记姜超林身影…… 一九九八年六月二十五日十八时滨海市医院 吊着水，王少波昏昏沉沉睡了一觉，且于睡梦中找回了自己遗落在江底的报话机。报话机找到后竟还能用。他对着报话机又喊又叫，要各乡民工支援李圩子，各乡都不回话。江水眼见着疯涨，先是没了他的腿，后又没了他的脖子，这才一下子把他吓醒了。醒来一看，病床边聚了许多人，大都是下面的乡镇长，还有些市委机关的同志。床头柜上和窗前的地上堆满了水果鲜花，几乎可以开杂货店了。 王少波一下子火了，挣扎着坐起来，沉着脸扫视着众人问：“你们都跑到这里来干什么？啊？给我开追悼会呀？我现在还死不了！” 大泉乡党委书记者管说：“王书记，你看你这话说的，好像我们盼着你壮烈似的，我们听说您在李圩子受了伤，放心不下，就赶来看看，也是人之常情嘛！” 王少波根本不领情，盯着老管问：“管书记，你们都跑来看我，大堤上谁负责？出了问题怎么办？你们这些乡镇长来了，别的乡镇长来不来？各部委局办来不来？都跑到我这里来，那么多事谁做？！” 老管不敢做声了。 王少波指着满屋的东西，又说：“你们给我说说看，这些东西你们谁掏腰包了？还不是慷国家之慨，慷集体之慨？！你们说我不讲理也好，说我不近人情也好，我就是这样了，这些东西谁送的谁拿走，别摆在这里给我出洋相！” 老管说：“王书记，这也太过分了吧？别人我不敢保证，我送的鲜花可真是自己掏了腰包，就在医院门口临时买的，三十块，不信你可以派人调查。” 王少波也觉得话说得有些过分，便挥挥手说：“好，好，鲜花都留下，别的拿走，别管是公家掏腰包，还是个人掏腰包，这都不好！另外，你们回去后给下面的同志带个话，就说我说的，谁再放下防汛工作跑来看我，我撤他的职！你们真要把我当回事，就给我呆在大堤上，守住大堤，别让姜超林书记问我个失职的罪过！” 老管说：“王书记，你还不知道吧？姜超林下了，今天下午三点的党政干部大会就是宣布这事的，新来的市委书记叫高长河。” 王少波愣了一下，马上说：“姜超林书记下了，咱该做的工作还得做，你们马上回去，进一步落实防汛措施，别再给我闹出李圩子那种事……” 赶走了这帮乡镇长，市长江昆华来了。 江昆华见面就唏嘘着说：“少波，你看这事闹的，咋差点永垂不朽了？！” 王少波苦着脸说：“算我倒霉，让一个浪头打到石头上去了，前额头上缝了十二针。好了，好了，不说这事了，说说党政干部大会的情况吧，听说姜书记下了，来了个高长河？高长河这人怎么样呀？” 江昆华迟疑了一下，说：“高长河给大家的印象还算好，讲话挺实在的，人也年轻，据说省委头头们对他很支持，不但是刘华波，连马万里也很欣赏他。” 王少波又问：“姜书记的情绪怎么样？还好吗？” 江昆华说：“还好吧？我看他坐在主席台上挺精神的，刘华波讲话时又高度评价了平阳的工作，姜老板应该算是体面离任，我看不出他有什么失落感。” 王少波摇摇头：“姜老板能让你看出他的失落来，也就不是姜老板了！”想了想，又说，“昆华，姜老板对我们滨海的工作一直支持很大，我们又是姜老板一手提起来的，别人怎么样咱不管，咱们在这时候得讲点情义，你明天去看看姜老板，也代表我。如果姜老板乐意，你就以我们滨海市委、市政府的名义，请老爷子到我们的金海岸度假区休息一阵子。老爷子十年来没日没夜的工作，为平阳人民办了这么多好事，这退下以后，也该好好歇歇了。” 江昆华先是点头，继而却又迟迟疑疑地问：“少波，你想清楚了，让姜老板在这时候住到我们金海岸来好么？新书记高长河会不会有想法呀？” 王少波指点着江昆华，一脸的不快：“你小子没胆了是不是？别忘了，没有姜老板的支持，就没有金海岸！老爷子为金海岸奠基，为金海岸剪彩，却从没在金海岸住过一天！” 江昆华有些窘：“那是，那是，咋着也应该请老爷子休息一下——去年剪彩的时候，我们不就邀请过老爷子么？是他自己不愿来。好，这次我去请，你市委书记不怕事，我怕什么！” 王少波叹了口气：“人总得讲良心，如果高长河真为这事不高兴，就让他冲着我来。我王少波过去没拍过哪个领导的马屁，今后也不会去拍哪个领导的马屁，官场上那一套对我不起作用！” 江昆华苦笑起来，“所以，我们跟着你尽倒霉……” 一九九八年六月二十五日十九时平阳市委招待所 吃过晚饭，市委副书记孙亚东就寸步不离地跟着高长河，一直跟到市委第一招待所小红楼。因为高长河家不在平阳，市委办公室便把小红楼二层的两间客房和一间小会客室让出来给高长河做宿舍了。 高长河在孙亚东的陪同下走进小红楼时，禁不住想起了十八年前的往事—— 他和岳父梁清平的第一次见面就是在这座小红楼里。那时，他大学刚毕业，分配在北京某部机关，是利用出差的机会来平阳探望未婚妻梁丽的。岳父梁清平时任平阳地委书记，正在真理标准大讨论中，顶着压力推行农村联产承包责任制试点。 梁清平带着他在这座小红楼里参观，讲述曾在这座小红楼里生活过的俄国人、日本人和美国人，讲述这座小红楼所代表的这座世纪之城的近一百年历史。他由此而得知，这座外表挺不起眼的小红楼，曾是旧平阳最好的建筑，竟做过俄国人的领事馆、日本人的特务机关部、东部日军受降处、国共两党军调部办事处和中国人民解放军的前敌指挥部。许多决定平阳历史的会谈和会见都是在这里进行的。 他当时感叹不已——这里既代表历史，又象征着权力，多么让人着迷啊。 记得最清的一个细节是，有一天晚上，在他和岳父梁清平谈话的过程中，市委办公室主任陪同当时主管组织工作的市委副书记刘华波进来了。刘华波把一份印有长长名单的文件交给梁清平签字，梁清平看罢名单，签完字后，对嗣后做了省委书记的刘华波缓缓说了一句话：“——就这样吧，对平阳来说，一个时代结束了，我们今天任命的这批年轻干部将决定本世纪最后二十年平阳的历史。” 岳父凭借当年手中的权力，在那一瞬间决定了平阳后来近二十年的历史，姜超林就是那批被同时任命的三百多名县处级干部中的一个——岳父把他由烈山县大泉乡党委书记提升为烈山县委副书记，主管农业…… 现在，十八年过后，又到了一个决定历史的紧要关头，他高长河来到了平阳。 孙亚东也很感慨，感情真挚地说：“高书记，你来得真是时候啊！” 高长河知道孙亚东要和他谈什么，故意摇摇头道：“也许不是时候。” 孙亚东问：“你什么意思？怕矛盾？不敢揭平阳的盖子？” 高长河皱起了眉头：“亚东，你看你，怎么开口就是揭盖子？！” 孙亚东却不管高长河的脸色：“有盖子就要揭嘛！” 高长河不接这个话题，白了孙亚东一眼，走进了楼下会客厅。 安置高长河的住处，是市委办公室主任刘意如一手操办的。高长河和孙亚东在会客厅坐下时，刘意如正领着招待所几个正副所长，逐房认真检查，最后落实着高长河日后的生活起居细节。高长河和孙亚东不时地听到楼梯上的脚步声和刘意如安排工作的声音。 高长河没话找话道：“刘主任工作真是细心周到呀。” 孙亚东说：“你是市委书记嘛，她能不细心周到？她对姜超林也是这样。” 高长河说：“这很好嘛，办公室的事又多又杂，也真要有这么一个女管家。” 孙亚东冷冷一笑：“高书记，我可告诉你，这个女管家也许不像你想象的那么好哩！她跟了姜超林十年，从市委办公室副主任干到主任，是姜超林的铁杆部下，整个平阳，她只认一个姜超林！你要愿意听我一句话，我就劝你把这位女管家从市委办公室调离。这对她对你可能都有利。高书记呀，这位女管家也是五十出头的人了，女儿都当了烈山的常务副县长，我看，她再做这种伺候人的工作也不合适嘛。” 高长河半真不假地道：“亚东呀，我头一天上任，你咋老进谗言呀？啊？” 孙亚东揭盖子的念头十分固执，又说：“高书记，你别给我打哈哈，我真是为你好！你心里应该清楚，平阳这些年来工作有成绩，他们的干部一直都是很牛的，眼睛盯着的都是深圳、上海，连省城都不放在眼里，你老兄人家就看得起？” 高长河这才严肃起来：“干得好，平阳的干部群众当然要自信嘛！亚东，我和你说句心里话，我还就是看不惯那些假模假式的'谦虚'，我把经济搞上去了，发展的经验总结出来了，还瞎'谦虚'什么？啊？我当然要理直气壮前排就座嘛！” 孙亚东提醒说：“不是你把经济搞上去了，是人家把经济搞上去了……” 高长河实在忍不住了，沉下脸，挥挥手说：“现在没有什么'我们'、'人家'了，都是一回事，那就是：平阳班子，平阳人民！” 孙亚东叹了口气：“你猜文春明市长今天散会后说了些什么？” 高长河注意地看孙亚东一眼：“文市长说了什么？” 孙亚东“哼”了一声：“文市长说了，现在是雷鸣电闪看不清呀，日后升起的也不知是太阳还是月亮？！” 高长河不动声色地“哦”了一声。 孙亚东又说：“文春明这话的意思还不明白么？太阳自己发光，月亮是借太阳的光，他是把平阳过去的经济建设成就比作太阳，讥讽你是借了他们的光！” 高长河笑了笑：“能借好这个光我看也不错嘛。啊？” 就在这时，服务员小姐走了进来，说：“高书记，服务台有您的电话，省委刘华波书记找您。” 高长河不敢怠慢，马上去服务台接了刘华波的电话。 刘华波在电话里说：“长河呀，我明天要回省城了，今晚天色不错，想去趟滨海，看看那里的防汛情况，超林同志带路，你作陪，马上出发，你看好不好？” 高长河正想甩开孙亚东的纠缠，心中一喜，忙道：“好，好，我马上过来。” 在小红楼门口匆匆和孙亚东道了别，高长河便钻进自己的车里，让自己的车汇入了警车开道、由三辆奥迪车构成的小小车队里。 车上北京路，高长河注意到，他前面的一辆车正是前市委书记姜超林的，001号牌照在汽
