Lingxi Province, Shazhou City, Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau. In late March 2001, Hou Weidong, the former secretary of the Chengjin County Party Committee, was appointed secretary of the party group of the Shazhou Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau. After the appointment document was issued, Hou Weidong did not immediately take up the post at the Municipal Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau. He took four days of public leave and took Xiaojia to Hainan Island. After getting married, Hou Weidong and Xiaojia generally separated more and less together.During the time when I was working in the Municipal Committee Office, although I lived in Shazhou, with Zhou Changquan, I was so busy every day that I turned my heels to my insteps, almost treating my home as a hotel.This time when he was transferred back to Shazhou, Hou Weidong deliberately slowed down his pace to enjoy the rare family happiness.

After arriving in Yalong Bay, the two rented a villa halfway up the mountain. From the large balcony, they could see the beautiful sea view and the panoramic view of Yalong Bay.Blowing the sea breeze, watching the sea, and eating seafood, the two seem to have found the feeling of being in love, temporarily forgetting the people and things in Shazhou. Sometimes when he is alone, every bit of Chengjin always flashes in Hou Weidong's mind. This time, he was transferred to the Municipal Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau mainly because the result of the negotiation with Shengbao Group angered Zhu Minsheng, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. "Taking a step back" was both an active choice and a helpless choice.However, thinking carefully about the performance of the county magistrate Zeng Zhaoqiang during the negotiation process, Hou Weidong always felt a thorn in his throat.Of course, the pimple in the throat is just a feeling. He is in Hainan, so he can't confirm his doubts for the time being.

In the Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau, most ordinary cadres don't care who is the top leader, because whoever is the top leader does not affect their life and work.Only a few backbones with ideas will care about this matter. On the day the documents arrived, after get off work, Executive Deputy Director Shen Dongfeng and Deputy Director Zhou Xiaohong went to a teahouse in Xicheng respectively. This teahouse is far away from Dongcheng District, and few acquaintances come here to drink tea. In the small room of the teahouse, Zhou Xiaohong, the deputy director, said: "A 'Nan Batian' left, but unexpectedly, a more ruthless one came."

Shen Dongfeng agreed deeply, nodded and said: "Hou Weidong can be the top leader at such a young age, not only because he has a backing behind him, but also has good means. We are deputies, just do our job well, and it doesn't matter who he is." Zhou Xiaohong leaned her head on Shen Dongfeng's shoulder and said, "We can't be in the same bureau. If there is a chance, I will transfer to another unit. It doesn't matter if the unit is worse." Shen Dongfeng turned his head and kissed Zhou Xiaohong's cheek, and said: "You are a major in hydropower, it's best not to leave the Hydropower Bureau, if you really want to leave, I'll go." He pondered and said: "Hou Weidong has a strong ability and a deep background. Good thing, the two of us took the initiative to cooperate with him, maybe my transfer can be done through him."

Zhou Xiaohong leaned into Shen Dongfeng's arms, and said: "It's too early to say that now. You have to wait until Hou Weidong is appointed as the director by the National People's Congress, and then listen to his words and watch his actions, so that you can see people through. Then again, Hou Weidong He came to be the chief, and he doesn't understand business, if we all disagree with him, his life will be difficult." Shen Dongfeng stroked Zhou Xiaohong's waist lightly, and said, "Confrontation is always the worst policy, only unity can produce productivity."

Shen Dongfeng and Zhou Xiaohong are classmates in high school. They have a class monitor and a deputy class monitor.After graduating from high school, the two went to college one south and the other north, and gradually lost contact.After graduation, Zhou Xiaohong was assigned to work in the Municipal Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau, growing from an ordinary cadre to the deputy director.Shen Dongfeng was assigned to work in Linjiang County and became the deputy county magistrate.They started their own families, and the unbreakable relationship in high school has become a memory in their hearts.Fate is sometimes strange, always turning a corner under unexpected circumstances.Many years later, Shen Dongfeng, the deputy county magistrate, encountered marital problems and had an unsatisfactory life in the county. By accident, he was transferred to the Municipal Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau and became the executive deputy director.

Thus, the two reunited.Since they are all members of the team in the bureau, this late romance can only be carried out as an underground worker. On April 1, Hou Weidong officially took office. On April 18, the Shazhou Municipal People's Congress officially appointed Hou Weidong as the director of the Municipal Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau. On Thursday, April 19, Hou Weidong held the first team meeting of the Municipal Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau. Hou Weidong and the previous "Nanbatian" chief have completely different styles. "Nan Batian" was originally named Nan Guangrong. He had an orange-peel face.

The new Hou Weidong doesn't have the legendary domineering spirit at all, he is handsome and kind.At the first team meeting, he wore a jacket, held a teacup, and said: "...Today is the first meeting. When the committee members met, they proposed that Shazhou re-learn democratic centralism... Personally, I hope to take the lead in implementing democratic centralism, and I hope everyone can supervise..." The first team meeting ended in over forty minutes.The former director of "Nanbatian" held a team meeting, and it was common for four or five hours. The team members were used to marathon meetings.

Zhou Xiaohong's office and Shen Dongfeng's office are door to door. Zhou Xiaohong is a lesbian, so she couldn't hold back. When Hou Weidong left the office building, he slipped over to visit and said softly, "What's the matter with the office meeting? It just started and ended." Shen Dongfeng looked at the door subconsciously, and said: "He just came, and he doesn't know the basic situation. How long can this kind of meeting be held? Judging from today's feeling, there is no one with a reputation under the name. A person who has served as the secretary of the county party committee. experienced."

"I didn't see that he was sophisticated." Zhou Xiaohong couldn't help muttering when she saw that the style of the new director was very different from that of the old one. She naturally spoke freely in front of Shen Dongfeng. Shen Dongfeng warned: "Don't bark a dog that bites, trust my vision, and cooperate with him well." Zhou Xiaohong said with emotion: "In the past, Director Nan was very strict, but in retrospect, he has basically never punished people over the years. , Harmful, is a good person." Shen Dongfeng recalled Hou Weidong's expression when he spoke, and said: "Newcomers and new policies, both of us have to get used to it. Judging from today's team meeting, Hou Weidong is considered a straightforward person."

Under the attention of the cadres of the Municipal Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau, Hou Weidong's first month in power was fleeting.In the first month, Hou Weidong basically did not make any decisions. He talked with the members of the team and the heads of the main departments, and started the "Hou style" of streamlining administration and delegating power. The previous bureau chief held the power very firmly, holding money, wealth, and affairs in his hands, and he had to understand everything, and the deputy bureau chiefs almost became puppets. The burden is on the leader. "Nan Batian" has won the titles of "Model Worker of Lingxi Province" and "Advanced Worker" many times. The honor is genuine, and he is as tired as a dog. Hou Weidong used to be the secretary of the county party committee, but he had a different mentality. He didn't want to take on specific matters, so he began to gradually delegate power. In May, the bureau team researched and passed two important systems, the "Important Issue Discussion System of the Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau" and the "Organization Management System of the Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau". At the same time, the bureau team re-divided labor.All the main business of the Hydropower Bureau is assigned to the three deputy directors under him. Even the two key departments of the office and the financial office are managed by Shen Dongfeng. Hou Weidong's division of labor is only "responsible for overall work", so it is arranged in the Shazhou Bureau Looks very unusual. When Zhou Xiaohong was alone with Shen Dongfeng, she said, "Dongfeng, I'm a little confused. What the hell is Hou Weidong thinking? The other bureau chiefs are afraid that the power will be left behind, so they are all trying to grab power. He just wants to ignore everything." During this period of time, Shen Dongfeng has been thinking about Hou Weidong every day, and he has already learned something, saying: "Hou Weidong has great ambitions, and the Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau is a small temple, which cannot accommodate this great god. He is just a passerby, and he will leave sooner or later." On May 9, Hou Weidong rarely put on a navy blue suit and came to the unit in a well-dressed manner.He walked into Shen Dongfeng's office, and said: "Wu, Director Wu is going to the bureau in a while, so you greet everyone, tidy up the table, don't make a mess, and sweep the office building, don't lose your image." He said again. , "Let the office prepare the camera, and strive for team members to take a photo with Director Wu." Shen Dongfeng was taken aback, and hurriedly called the office director, and explained it carefully. He was not at ease, and checked the office one by one. At 10 o'clock, Wu Ying walked into the office building of the Municipal Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau under the welcome of everyone. After meeting everyone, she walked into Hou Weidong's office. When Wu Ying entered Hou Weidong's office, Zhou Xiaohong called Shen Dongfeng in the office and said, "It's the first time for Director Wu to come to the office building. Director Hou is very proud of himself." Wu Ying has been to Shazhou many times in the past two years. Every time she went directly to the municipal government, "Nan Batian" took the team of the Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau to report to the municipal government conference room.This time, Wu Ying went directly to the Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau, and everyone looked at Hou Weidong with admiration. "It's really unusual. Find time to analyze this matter alone. If you have time at night, the king of heaven will cover the earth." Zhou Xiaohong's face was a little rosy. "The king of heaven, the tiger of heaven" was their date code.Hearing this code, she couldn't help but feel a little warm, and said in a low voice: "The pagoda suppresses the river demon." But thinking of the family that had been in the cold war for many years, her mood became gloomy again. After Shen Dongfeng put down the phone, he pondered: "Hou Weidong will leave sooner or later. If I help him, I will help myself. This is the best time to change from deputy to full-time." After more than half an hour, Hou Weidong walked out of the office with Wu Ying. Hou Weidong said to Wu Ying: "Director Wu, the team members are waiting to be interviewed in the office." Wu Ying said with a hearty smile: "They're all old hydropower, and I know all the team members." At the invitation of Hou Weidong, Wu Ying entered the office of the team members one by one. Zhou Xiaohong and others stood at the door and shook hands with Wu Ying. After shaking hands with Zhou Xiaohong, Hou Weidong said to Wu Ying: "Director Wu, the team members want to take a photo with you, okay?" Wu Yingdao: "Everyone is a member of hydropower, so there's nothing wrong with taking a photo together." Surrounded by everyone, Wu Ying went downstairs, and then stood in a row, and everyone took a group photo together.Before getting into the car, Wu Ying waved goodbye to the comrades of the Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau with a smile on her face, and then went to the city hall with Hou Weidong. In the city hall, Mayor Liu Bing greeted Wu Ying in the compound. He smiled and said, "Director Wu came to Shazhou, why didn't he call in advance, it's too rude." Wu Ying said reservedly: "Mayor Liu, you are welcome. The Zhushuihe construction site has been under construction for so long, and I haven't visited it yet. I took the time to come over today to see the progress." Liu Bing had a very good attitude in front of Wu Ying, without any airs of officialdom, and said with a smile, "The Zhushuihe hydropower station is progressing smoothly, and the city still has the idea of ​​building a second hydropower station. Today I will make a formal report." Wu Ying pointed to Hou Weidong and said, "Weidong reported to me just now, and the investigation of the Water and Electricity Bureau has been done, which is very good." Liu Bing glanced at Hou Weidong who was standing behind Wu Ying, and said, "Director Weidong is a general. The Shazhou Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government attach great importance to hydropower work, so they put Weidong in this position." Hou Weidong followed behind, he didn't say much, just smiled. After talking about the second Zhushuihe Hydropower Station in Liu Bing's office, Wu Ying looked at his watch and said, "When doing hydropower work, there is no result on paper. I suggest going to Zhushuihe now." Liu Bing said: "Secretary Zhu heard that Director Wu was coming, so he called from the province specifically, saying that he would try to come back at noon." Although Wu Ying is the deputy director of the Water Resources Department, her husband is the secretary of the provincial party committee. Therefore, when Wu Ying came to Shazhou, the municipal party committee and the city government received them according to the specifications of the provincial party committee and provincial government leaders. Wu Ying knew this well, and said: "The secretary and the mayor are busy people. I came to Shazhou to talk about specific matters. I didn't want to disturb you. Since Secretary Zhu is still in the province, there is no need to come back. We will directly To Chengjin. I saw the scene in Chengjin, and after lunch, I will go directly from Chengjin, so I won’t delay you.” Hearing this, Liu Bing relaxed instead, and said, "Then I'll go directly to the scene according to Director Wu's arrangement, and arrange to eat wild fish at Zhushui River at noon." When getting in the car, Hou Weidong called Shen Dongfeng and said, "Director Wu wants to see the scene of the second hydropower station. You and Director Zhou will take the relevant materials and go ahead and wait at the scene. You are a hydropower expert, and the scene is up to you. explain." In terms of major, Shen Dongfeng is not a major in hydropower, and among the members of the team, only Zhou Xiaohong is from a major. Hearing that Wu Ying wanted to listen to the explanation, the two met, picked up the materials, and rushed towards the Zhushui River. Hou Weidong called the Bureau Office again and said, "Mayor Liu and Director Wu of the Water Conservancy Department are going to inspect the Zhushuihe hydropower construction site. You should notify the Chengjin County Government." Wu Ying, Liu Bing and others took Coaster to Chengjin.In Chengjin County, Zeng Zhaoqiang, secretary of the county party committee, and Zhou Fuquan, acting county magistrate, stood by the road and waited respectfully.Coster stopped, and a young staff member of the municipal government got out of the car and said: "Secretary Zeng, County Magistrate Zhou, please get in the car and take Coster to the Zhushuihe construction site together." When Zeng Zhaoqiang got into the car, he first saw Hou Weidong with a calm face.He greeted Wu Ying and Liu Bing first, and when he shook hands with Hou Weidong, he strengthened his hands and said, "Director Hou, the Zhushuihe Phase II hydropower project still needs your strong support." Hou Weidong said: "The hydrological conditions of the Zhushui River in Chengjin are very good, and the foundation work is also solid. The Municipal Bureau will do its best to facilitate this." Watching the scene at the Zhushui River, the group ate wild fish from the Zhushui River at the Coal Sanitarium, and Wu Ying left Shazhou due to work in the afternoon. Zeng Zhaoqiang, secretary of the Chengjin County Party Committee, sent Wu Ying, deputy director of the Water Conservancy Department, Liu Bing, mayor of Shazhou City, and Hou Weidong of the Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau to the junction of Chengjin and Shazhou.Get out of the car, wave goodbye, until the shadow of the car is no longer visible, the smile on his face quickly disappeared, turned to Zhou Fuquan, the acting county magistrate, and said: "Fan Decai is coming tomorrow, I think Secretary Hou's thinking is right, just follow the instructions of Secretary Hou Talk to Fan Decai about your ideas." Zhou Fuquan knew the cause and effect best, and said: "According to Secretary Hou's thinking, the negotiation will not result in nine out of ten." Zeng Zhaoqiang said: "We have to seek truth from facts." After explaining, he drove towards Shazhou by car. Zhou Fuquan, acting county magistrate, was in a very complicated mood.In his mind, Hou Weidong is a very powerful secretary of the county party committee, and he has a good hand and eye, but he capsized in the gutter and was bullied by Zeng Zhaoqiang, which made Zhou Fuquan always have a strong sense of guard against Zeng Zhaoqiang . "Zeng Zhaoqiang is too scheming. If he works with him, who knows when he will eat his bones and flesh." At this time, Zhou Fuquan began to miss Hou Weidong, the former secretary of the county party committee who devoted himself to doing things. Zeng Zhaoqiang sat on the car, leaning on the soft car cushion, recalling Hou Weidong's expression when he accompanied Wu Yinglai to inspect, and he became inexplicably irritable, and thought to himself: "Am I too anxious to offend Hou Weidong too hard?" I thought, "Revolution is not a dinner party. If I lose this opportunity, I may have to retire as the county magistrate. When Hou Weidong takes power, I will already be a retired old man, so I don't have to be afraid of him at all." Zeng Zhaoqiang thought about what he was doing carefully. The conflicts between him and Hou Weidong all happened on the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, which can be attributed to different views, and there was no obvious flaw for Hou Weidong to catch.He came to the conclusion that no matter from all aspects, Hou Weidong would not see through his little trick.Despite such a conclusion, there has been a saying in Shazhou since ancient times that "you bully the old but not the young". Thinking back to the postures of Hou Weidong and Wu Ying talking with their heads bowed, he felt panicked in his heart. When we arrived at Yi Zhongling's villa in Shazhou, there were several cars parked in the yard, one of which was a BMW that Huang Zidi reserved after get off work.Zeng Zhaoqiang was often with Huang Zidi during this period, so he saw Huang Zidi driving this car. Upstairs, Yi Zhongling and Huang Zidi were sitting in the living room chatting, when Zeng Zhaoqiang went upstairs, Yi Zhongling said: "Zhaoqiang is here, why is 'Su Tiequan' still talking?" "Su Tiequan" is Director Su of the Public Security Bureau. He has been engaged in criminal investigation work for a long time and is called "Su Tiequan". Of course, no one who dares to call him "Su Tiequan" is an ordinary person. After waiting for a while, Huang Zidi received a call from "Su Tiequan". "Secretary Huang, there was a murder case in the southern new district, and two people died. I can't come." Huang Zidi smiled and said, "Old Su, you are now the head of the Public Security Bureau, why do you have to do it yourself, just let the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation do it yourself." "After seeing the scene, the husband and wife were killed, and the case analysis meeting is about to be held, so we really can't come." Putting down the phone, Huang Zidi said: "'Su Tiequan' has something to do and can't come. Zhongda has gone to the province. Tonight's mahjong can't be played." "Let Huang Er come over." Yi Zhongling suggested. "Huang Er is a junior, don't let him follow us blindly, let Xiao Hu come over and play a few laps with us." After a while, another car came, and a burst of laughter came over.Two tall girls walked in, one of them sat on the sofa beside Huang Zidi, and said, "Brother Huang, you haven't greeted me for a long time." Yi Zhongling said: "Hu Yu, why are you clinging to Brother Huang when you come here? Make another cup of tea for Brother Huang, and then go and put on the mahjong upstairs. We are short of a corner, and you can fill in later. " Hu Yu's eyes fluttered, he leaned against Huang Zidi, and said: "You guys hit too hard, I dare not go up." Huang Zidi said: "I'll pay you the money, if you lose, I'll count, if you win, you'll count, but don't let brother Huang deliberately, everyone will fight fairly." Hu Yu smiled and went upstairs. The girl spoke Mandarin very well, she was obviously not a local, and her accent had a northern flavor.Zeng Zhaoqiang used to be a soldier in the north, and he was very familiar with the accent of girls in the north. He couldn't help but look at her back, and said to himself, "Huang Zidi is really chic, and he doesn't hide me when he does these things." The confidant is happy, but on the other hand, he also feels that Huang Zidi is too bold, which may not be a good thing. The mahjong table was on the second floor, and the four of them sat down.Another girl moved a chair and sat behind Zeng Zhaoqiang. She was very quiet, only watching, not talking. It was 12 o'clock in mahjong, and Zeng Zhaoqiang was already sleepy, but Huang Zidi was very interested, so he could only risk his life to accompany the leader.At 1:00, Huang Zidi touched himself, yawned, stretched, and said, "I have to go, there is a meeting tomorrow." Hu Yudao: "It's too late, I don't want to drive late and take a ride with my elder brother." The other girl couldn't drive, and said, "Hu Yu, what should I do if you take the elder brother's car?" Hu Yu covered his mouth and smiled: "There are so many free drivers, I'm afraid there will be no car to sit in." Yi Zhongling said, "Liu Yu will take Secretary Zeng's car." In the yard, Zeng Zhaoqiang opened the car door, and Liu Yu sat in the passenger seat.After Zeng Zhaoqiang drove away, Yi Zhongling quietly said to Huang Zidi: "Boss, the back room is ready, so don't go home." Huang Zidi looked at the charming Hu Yu, swallowed his saliva, and said, "There are so many things to do every day, I'm so fucking tired. I played mahjong for a long time today." Hu Yu and Huang Zidi entered another villa at the back of the villa. This villa was smaller and hidden among the green trees. There was Yi Zhongling's big house in front of it, which was very hidden.Hu Yu took Huang Zidi by the arm and went upstairs. Upstairs, she pressed her chest tightly against Huang Zidi's arm, and said, "Boss, take a bath later, and I'll give you a massage." After entering the room, Huang Zidi reclined on the sofa watching TV.Hu Yu was wearing a translucent bathrobe, filled the big bathtub with water, tested the water temperature, and was about to turn around to greet Huang Zidi.Huang Zidi had quietly reached behind Hu Yu and hugged him by the waist. "You are bad, you startled me." "Don't move, let me touch it." "Well, let's wash it first." The two twisted into a ball, panting, and slid into the large round bathtub. After finishing the work, Hu Yu's smooth body was still stuck to Huang Zidi's body, and said: "Brother Huang, Mr. Yi has several buildings to be renovated, and I am in the business of water and electricity. Can you tell Mr. Yi to let him He uses my goods?" Huang Zidi stroked Hu Yu's smooth skin, squinted his eyes, and said, "You and Mr. Yi are very familiar, why let me come forward?" Hu Yu said coquettishly: "I'm yours, you want to speak for me, Mr. Yi wants to buy anyway, it doesn't matter who's goods you use." As she said, she rubbed back and forth in Huang Zidi's arms. "Don't move, let me rest for a while." "No." Huang Zidi surrendered, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell Mr. Yi, but your products must be authentic." Seeing that the matter was settled, Hu Yu kissed Huang Zidi happily, and said, "Brother Huang, I am yours, so you have to love me well." At this time, Zeng Zhaoqiang drove into the city, and Liu Yu was a quiet girl, sitting in the passenger seat and not saying much. "Where do you live?" Zeng Zhaoqiang took the initiative to ask. "Dongcheng Area." "Listen to the accent, you are from the north, why did you come to Shazhou?" "Hu Yu and I are neighbors. She came here first, and I followed. I opened a teahouse in Shazhou, and I have some good tea. Secretary Zeng is welcome to come and taste it." "Come here if you have the chance." In Dongcheng District, when Liu Yu got off the bus, he handed over a business card and said, "Welcome Secretary Zeng to the teahouse, here is the most authentic Tieguanyin." When Liu Yu entered the building, Zeng Zhaoqiang took the business card in his hand and looked at it. Then put it in your pocket. Entering the new millennium, the atmosphere in Shazhou has changed unknowingly. Many leaders always have young girls in their spare time.These girls are like elves that suddenly emerge from the ground, surrounding the leaders who hold real power.Zeng Zhaoqiang is not interested in Hu Yu, who is so charming, but has a good impression of this quiet Liu Yu. After returning home, his wife had already gone to bed. When Zeng Zhaoqiang went to bed, she asked under the covers: "It's so late?" Zeng Zhaoqiang said: "Accompany the leader, what can I do?" Asleep, even slight snoring echoed in the room.Zeng Zhaoqiang thought about Liu Yu's beautiful face, and gradually fell asleep.In the dream, he and Liu Yu hugged each other, and their naked skin touched, feeling very comfortable. Waking up in the morning, when Zeng Zhaoqiang was brushing his teeth, he looked up in the mirror. In the mirror, there was a haggard middle-aged man with a mouth full of white foam.Brushing his teeth, he was secretly annoyed at the thought that Fan Decai, the board director of Shengbao Group, was coming to Chengjin again. After breakfast, he called Zhou Fuquan and said: "I have a meeting in Shazhou, and I have to trouble you for the negotiation with Shengbao Group. Hehe, my brother has a lot of experience. I don't have any instructions. In a word, it should be beneficial to Cheng This is the principle for future work in Tianjin." After Shengbao Group signed an agreement of intent with Maodong, Fan Decai came to Chengjin for the second time.Chengjin's lead-zinc mine resources and basic conditions are better than those of Maodong. He personally prefers to invest in Chengjin from the bottom of his heart. Of course, the conditions put forward in the first agreement of intent must still be adhered to. After the meeting, Fan Decai said: "Major Zhou, I have already lived in Maodong. It was Secretary-General Yang who called many times. The kindness was hard to turn down, so I returned to Chengjin." But it's only because of affection that Chengjin's expression comes. After Zhou Fuquan understood Zeng Zhaoqiang's true thoughts, his views on Zeng Zhaoqiang became more complicated, which directly affected the attitude of the negotiation.Looking at Fan Decai's proud smile, he said calmly: "Chengjin has resources, Shengbao Group has money, and both sides have their own plans, so they can sit together." The implication is that both parties are equal. Fan Decai interrupted him, and said: "I heard that Hou Weidong was transferred to the Shazhou Hydropower Bureau, and now the county magistrate Zeng is the secretary of the county party committee. In view of the previous experience, I think Secretary Zeng should be invited to participate, otherwise the discussion is tantamount to no discussion. "He stayed in Lingxi for more than half a year, and finally figured out the political system in Lingxi, knowing that the secretary of the county party committee is the real strongman. Following his wishes, Zhou Fuquan said, "Secretary Zeng has gone to Shazhou for a meeting. Since Mr. Fan has made this request, we will discuss it after Secretary Zeng Zhaoqiang comes back." In Fan Decai's mind, Zhou Fuquan was a person who could swallow his anger. This time when he met Zhou Fuquan, his attitude suddenly changed. Although the language was still polite, the indifference was obvious. Fan Decai was used to flattering smiles and compliments from mainland officials. At this time, Zhou Fuquan's attitude made him very uncomfortable, so he sneered a few times and said, "In this case, it's meaningless to talk any further. I'm going back to Maodong." , Secretary Jiang of Maodong City wants to invite me to dinner tonight." Zhou Fuquan did not keep him, and when Fan Decai left, he returned to the office and slowly read the newspaper. Gu Yunfeng, member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and Director of the County Party Committee Office, soon found out about this matter. In the afternoon, he drove directly to Shazhou. Gu Yunfeng got his driver's license when he was the deputy director of the county party committee office.Of course, in his capacity, there is no need to take the test, and he can get a driver's license through his relationship.But driving is dangerous. After he got his driver's license, he didn't dare to be sloppy. He took the old driver of the small car class as his teacher and practiced his skills very well. Hou Weidong was having a meeting in the office of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau. When he learned that Gu Yunfeng had arrived at the bureau, he said, "Today's office meeting will end here. The half-year summary meeting is a big event. If the meeting goes well, the work in the second half of the year will have a direction of action." He turned his head. Asked Shen Dongfeng who was sitting next to him, "In the past, did the Water Resources Department send leaders to participate in the year-end or half-year summary meeting?" Shen Dongfeng knew all kinds of work well, and said, "In previous years, there was a year-end summary meeting, and the deputy mayor in charge attended it. The water conservancy department usually sent the director to participate. As for the half-year summary meeting, we basically held it ourselves." "This year is the first year of the new century, and the new millennium has a new atmosphere. When the semi-annual summary meeting is held, try to invite the deputy mayor in charge and the leaders of the Water Resources Department to participate." Hou Weidong said this, closed his notebook, and stood up. Shen Dongfeng looked distressed, and said: "I've made preliminary calculations. According to Hou Bureau's request just now, this half-year summary will cost at least tens of thousands more, and the bureau is a little tight on money." Hou Weidong said: "The dignified Shazhou Municipal Bureau can't be so shabby. Our half-year work summary meeting includes business training content, and it is really three days. Which unit holds a half-year summary meeting with training? We It's the first one, so you should spend more money." He hurriedly went to talk to Gu Yunfeng, and then ended the conversation, saying: "The money issue is not a problem, the old Ji of the Finance Bureau is very talkative, and it's enough to say hello when the time comes." Hou Weidong left the venue, and several deputy bureau chiefs still sat still. Zhou Xiaohong sighed: "In the future, we will not have to worry about spending money in the bureau. Although Director Nan is powerful, he is not as generous as Bureau Hou." Deputy Director Tang Zhengqing looked at Zhou Xiaohong and waited for her next words. Zhou Xiaohong really had a clue, and said, "Ji Haiyang and Director Hou of the Finance Bureau were run by the Yiyang County Committee. At that time, Ji Haiyang was the director of the County Committee Office, and Director Hou was the Secretary of the County Committee , I heard that their relationship is very unusual." Shen Dongfeng said: "Now Yiyang has a lot of people. Secretary of the county party committee Zhu Yan became the secretary of the municipal party committee, director of the county party committee office became the director of the city's finance bureau, county magistrate Yang Senlin became the secretary-general of the city party committee, and deputy secretary of the county party committee Zhao Lin became the secretary of the city party committee. The county party secretary and deputy county magistrate Zeng Zhaoqiang also became the county party secretary, tsk, tsk." Tang Zhengqing added: "There is also Li Bing from the Transportation Bureau, who was also raised by Yi Yang." "You also forgot Gao Zhiyuan, director of the National People's Congress, who is also from Yiyang." With a few words from everyone, almost all Yiyang people with brains and brains were pulled out. Shen Dongfeng concluded: "I think Zhu Yan is a powerful person. He has been the secretary of the county party committee for several years, and he insisted on bringing out Yiyang's gang. ,not simple." The three deputy bureau chiefs were discussing in the office, while Hou Weidong closed the office door and chatted with Gu Yunfeng on the sofa. "Secretary Hou, I'm so sorry that I only took time out to see you today." Hou Weidong threw a cigarette to Gu Yunfeng and said, "How is your work in Chengjin these days?" Thinking about Zeng Zhaoqiang's tiger face, Gu Yunfeng smiled bitterly and said, "I don't enjoy staying in Chengjin, and sooner or later I will be replaced by Secretary Zeng, after all, the emperor and the courtier." Hou Weidong smiled, and said: "You have worked in Chengjin for a long time, I have only been two years, how do you talk about this dynasty?" He seemed very relaxed and spoke casually. "It has nothing to do with time. I was promoted by Secretary Hou. Everyone thinks so. Secretary Hou, I want to transfer Chengjin, so you have to help me." "Take it easy for now, don't rush." "My heart is so anxious that I don't want to stay in Chengjin for a day." Among the local leaders in Chengjin, Gu Yunfeng has the closest relationship with Hou Weidong. Xi, knows some intricate relationships, so he always wants to stand by Hou Weidong's side. "Fan Decai was able to return to Chengjin this time. He should be sincere. Why did he leave Chengjin so soon? You said it was very interesting on the phone just now. What do you mean?" Today he wants to ask clearly alone. Gu Yunfeng reported the negotiations in the morning in as much detail as possible. Hou Weidong pondered for a while, and asked, "Secretary Zeng hasn't come forward?" "Secretary Zeng held a meeting in Shazhou, and the county magistrate Zhou has been negotiating. After the negotiation was deadlocked, Secretary Zeng talked with Fan Decai in Shazhou for ten minutes, to no avail." Hou Weidong leaned back on the sofa, pondering to himself: "During the month I was in the United States, Zeng Zhaoqiang signed an agreement of intent with Shengbao Group, and he argued with me at the Standing Committee. It should be said that his attitude is positive. This Once, he was not enthusiastic about Fan Decai who came back, and his attitude of tandem and back was very subtle." Through the conversation with Gu Yunfeng, Hou Weidong has grasped a looming thread. He patted Gu Yunfeng on the shoulder and said: "There is an old saying in China, you must not have the heart to harm others, but you must have the heart to guard against others. You stay here for now." , if there is anything, call me in time." Gu Yunfeng said: "Secretary Hou, then I will stay in Chengjin for the time being." Soon, Yang Liu, the municipal party committee office, also passed on some information to Hou Weidong. After the negotiation between Shengbao Group and Chengjin encountered obstacles, Fan Decai returned to Maodong angrily, and soon signed a formal contract with Maodong City under similar conditions to Chengjin. The economy of Maodong is not as good as that of Shazhou. There are surprisingly few big merchants in Maodong. Now a big fish has come.After the official contract was signed, it was widely publicized in the provincial and city newspapers. After the news that Shengbao Group signed a formal contract with Maodong appeared in the newspaper, Zeng Zhaoqiang and Zhou Fuquan made a collective review to the municipal party committee in the small conference room of the municipal party committee. Zhu Minsheng kept a cold look and didn't speak. Deputy Mayor Gao Rong has been participating in the negotiations, and when she learned that Shengbao Group and Maodong had formally signed a contract, she felt an evil fire in her heart. Zeng Zhaoqiang briefly introduced the negotiation situation and said: "This time, Secretary-General Yang invited Fan Decai to Shazhou. The county party committee and the county government attached great importance to it and made full preparations. He pursued Shengbao Group very closely, and Deputy Mayor Ding of Maodong City Government followed him personally." Gao Rong took over the conversation and said, "Fan Decai was able to return to Shazhou this time because he was completely moved by the sincerity of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. Before leaving, I had a conversation with Fan Decai. The government expressed its gratitude, but was very dissatisfied with some comrades in Chengjin County, and made it clear that the practice of tearing up the agreement at will is very dishonest. This dishonorable practice will damage the feelings of Hong Kong businessmen towards Shazhou.” Gao Rong was named and criticized twice by Zhu Minsheng for the matter of the Shengbao Group. Taking advantage of Zeng Zhaoqiang's words, she again shifted the responsibility to Hou Weidong, who had already worked in the Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau. Zeng Zhaoqiang said again: "After Fan Decai left, Comrade Fuquan and I went to Maodong in person, but he has made up his mind to go, so there is no way." He cleared his throat and said with a solemn expression: "This time the investment promotion failed. As the main leader of the county party committee, I , to bear the main responsibility, and request the municipal party committee to give punishment.” Zhu Minsheng said with a cold face: "The duck is about to be cooked, let it fly, what are you doing! What's the point of talking about punishment now, punishment is just a means, not an end, I really feel sad Ah! The comrades present here are all senior officials in charge of one party or the front line. Your words and deeds will affect history. "As soon as I arrived in Shazhou, I talked about democratic centralism. Some comrades thought I was too left. Now it seems that I didn't talk about it enough, and I didn't talk about it deeply... Some comrades didn't study enough, and they were crazy. The reality is that this kind of person runs No big deal." Yang Liu of the General Section of the Municipal Party Committee was taking minutes of the meeting. Since it was about Hou Weidong, she remembered it very carefully. After get off work, she found Hou Weidong and told him about the meeting in person. After talking with Gu Yunfeng, Hou Weidong called Luo Jinhao, director of the Chengjin County Public Security Bureau, and asked the deputy secretary Gao Xiaonan to have a drink.Gu Yunfeng, Yang Liu, Luo Jinhao, Gao Xiaonan and others talked about the negotiation with Shengbao Group from different angles. After comprehensive analysis, Hou Weidong finally realized that he had been bullied by Zeng Zhao once. 从参加工作以来，侯卫东有过被发配的经历，也经历过人生低潮，但是总体上他发展得很顺利，一个又一个真实或假想的对手被抛在了脑后，他万万没有想到会在成津被曾昭强暗算。 在阴沟里翻了船，这让骄傲的侯卫东痛彻心扉。
