Chapter 5 5. Pick up

Duan Yufen is the president of Zhongshan Branch of Dongzhou Construction Bank. She and Ding Nengtong are classmates in the university. One is the chairman of the school's student union and the other is the monitor.Ding Nengtong was enthusiastic about social activities when he was in college, and his academic performance was average. Duan Yufen was a very orthodox girl, the first to join the party in her class, and her academic performance has always been leading in her class. Once in the final exam of political economy, Ding Nengtong was caught blind and had no impression of the two big questions. He happened to sit behind Duan Yufen, and while the invigilator was not paying attention, he secretly poked Duan Yufen with his finger, and Duan Yufen turned to look at Ding Nengtong. , knowing that he was blinded, but did not reveal that he wanted to help Ding Nengtong, but ignored him and continued to answer the questions.

The school Hua Yixue who was sitting next to her saw it and was anxious because Yixue had fallen in love with Ding Nengtong a long time ago. She secretly gave Ding Nengtong a note. Ding Nengtong opened it and saw a line of meaningful lowercase letters : "Don't hand in the paper, I'll answer one for you and hand it in." Ding Nengtong nodded gratefully.Sure enough, Yixue answered two papers and handed them in. After the results came down, Ding Nengtong actually scored more than 80 points. Originally Ding Nengtong had a good impression of Duan Yufen, but after this incident, Ding Nengtong suddenly became disgusted with Duan Yufen, thinking that she was too serious, too principled, and too rigid.Duan Yufen was also very guilty afterwards, but it was too late to regret, just such a small test made this cold beauty lose her love.The beautiful and lively school Hua Yixue got Ding Nengtong without any effort.

After graduation, Ding Nengtong was assigned to the municipal government office, Duan Yufen went to the City Construction Bank, and Yixue went to Dongzhou TV Station.After Ding Nengtong and Yixue got married, Duan Yufen remained unmarried, but the relationship between the three has always been very close. Ding Nengtong accompanied Zhang Hongchang, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, in the Beijing Garden and was drunk by various media reporters before driving back to the office drunk. Zhang Hongchang came to Beijing this time to call media reporters to hold a press conference for the Dongzhou International Yangko Festival, which was entrusted by the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Wang Yuanzhang.

Regarding the International Yangge Festival, Xiao Honglin has always had a good opinion. Dongzhou City is an old industrial base with a profound industrial culture, and the most representative Dongzhou is the industrial culture.Yangko itself is a product of farmers’ fields. It is low-grade and can represent agricultural culture, but it cannot represent industrial culture, let alone Dongzhou culture. Moreover, Yangko itself is not a product of internationalization. It is called the International Yangko Festival, which is neither fish nor fowl. However, the International Yangko Festival was a product of Wang Yuanzhang's tenure as mayor, and he is now the secretary of the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee. Even though Xiao Honglin has resistance, it is not easy to ban it.In fact, Xiao Honglin represented the views of most Dongzhou people.Because of this incident, the relationship between Wang Yuanzhang and Xiao Honglin became more and more delicate, so delicate that Wang Yuanzhang had to personally entrust the chairman of the CPPCC, Zhang Hongchang, to hold a press conference in Beijing on behalf of the municipal party committee and government.After all, Zhang Hongchang was Wang Yuanzhang's old subordinate and had always stood by Wang Yuanzhang's side.

Although the International Yangko Festival has a lot of criticism in Dongzhou City, Wang Yuanzhang, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, is highly respected among the common people. Wang Yuanzhang’s most influential policy measure was when he first took office as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he set up a "City Party Secretary Hotline". The phone number is 12345, the special line is set up in the general office of the Municipal Party Committee, usually a dozen staff members answer it, but Wang Yuanzhang has to answer it several times a week, because of this hotline, the distance between the party and the people has been shortened, and there are many touching stories about Wang Yuanzhang among the people. s story.The most interesting thing is that Wang Yuanzhang has many friends who drive taxis. These people are all known by him by taxi. Wang Yuanzhang often takes a taxi to check the traffic conditions in Dongzhou City. Taxi drivers know which roads are blocked and which roads are in bad condition. .Xiao Honglin was often dissatisfied with Wang Yuanzhang's meddling in politics. He often said in private that Wang Yuanzhang's greatest skill was to put on a show.The two people not only have different political views, but also often disagree on the issue of employment. It is an indisputable fact that the top leaders of the party and government are at odds.

Zhang Hongchang stayed in the Beijing Garden near the Poly Building. This is a piece of fat that Ding Nengtong has been staring at, because this five-star hotel is located in a prosperous area, adjacent to the central business circle, and only half an hour's drive from the airport. Turn the Beijing Garden into the Beijing Office of Dongzhou City, and my dream of building a Dongzhou Prince Gong's Mansion in Beijing has basically come true. Borrowing the neon lights under the night, Ding Nengtong took a careful look at this tall building with a combination of Chinese and Western, stepped on the accelerator hard, and the Mercedes-Benz disappeared into the night roaring.

At eight o'clock in the morning, magpies croaked on the tall poplar trees in the compound of the Beijing Office. Ding Nengtong was still asleep, when the phone on the bedside table rang. Ding Nengtong let the phone ring non-stop, but refused to answer it.Suddenly the phone rang, and he murmured to himself, "Who could it be? It's so annoying, it doesn't even make you sleep well!" Ding Nengtong lazily reached out to pick up the phone from the bedside, and asked sleepily, "Who is it?" "Brother Ding, did you disturb your sweet dreams?" "Oh, it's Weiguo, what's your order?"

Ding Nengtong, who was picked up by Zheng Weiguo, is Xiao Honglin's current secretary.If Xiao Honglin is the master, then Ding Nengtong is the elder brother. Because of this special relationship, Zheng Weiguo respects Ding Nengtong very much. "Brother Ding, the boss's flight at noon, you should be ready for the reception. I think you can stay in Kunlun." "Wei Guo, why didn't you inform me of such an important matter yesterday?" Ding Nengtong asked sharply as he got up. "The boss made a temporary decision this morning." "Did the boss tell you what to do in Beijing?"

"The boss said that we will meet in Beijing for a meeting." Ding Nengtong hurriedly got up to wash up, and then went to the cafeteria to have breakfast.In the cafeteria, Ding Nengtong used his mobile phone to call Huang Mengran, the director of the reception, while eating. "Mengran, hurry up to the airport to make arrangements. The boss will arrive at noon. By the way, book a luxury suite at the Kunlun Hotel. Remember, don't reveal the boss's residence." "Boss, send a driver?" "No, you will be the driver yourself." Huang Mengran left in a hurry. At this moment, Bai Lina, the hotel manager of the Beijing Office, turned around like a lotus pond.This is a beautiful and coquettish woman who has only been divorced twice, but she has a strong ability to handle affairs and is very capable.

Whenever Ding Nengtong sees Bai Lina, he thinks she is the best grass on the edge of the nest, but Ding Nengtong never dares to forget the saying: "Rabbits don't eat grass on the edge of the nest".Although he has persuaded himself countless times in his heart: "Since there is grass beside the nest, why let the rabbits run all over the mountains?" However, Ding Nengtong is a person with great political ambitions. Only those with tails have a future. In addition, Ding Nengtong is very jealous of one-eyed dragons. In the officialdom, he is a life-and-death caretaker. Although his backing is very strong, one-eyed dragons are not a fuel-efficient lamp.I still have important things to do, and I must not capsize the boat in the small river ditch.

As expected, Ding Nengtong was born as the mayor's secretary, and he has a strong controlling power. Although he is unwilling to touch the nest grass, he still appreciates the beauty of the nest grass. He appreciates and trusts Bai Lina very much.Bai Lina is very grateful for Ding Nengtong's appreciation and trust, and she considers herself Director Ding's person. Therefore, in the Beijing Office, Ding Nengtong, Huang Mengran, and Bai Lina are known as the Iron Triangle. "Boss, is the boss coming?" Bai Lina smiled charmingly and asked straightforwardly. "How did you know?" Ding Nengtong knew Xiao Honglin's temper, and he was the most taboo about going to Beijing to flirt with him, so even Bai Lina kept it a secret. "Boss, I saw Huang Mengran driving away in a Mercedes-Benz 600. I guess the boss is here." "You know the boss's temper. Now that you know, let's go to the airport together at noon." Bai Lina was moved in her heart. The Boeing 737 did not touch the corridor bridge after landing. Just as the plane came to a stop, two black Mercedes-Benz stopped beside the plane. Four people got out of the car. They were Ding Nengtong, Huang Mengran and Bai Lina. The other person was Yu Xinxin, manager of the VIP room at Capital Airport.When Xiao Honglin came down from the staircase, Bai Lina was the first to greet him with flowers in her hands. "Mayor Xiao, you have worked hard." After Bai Lina finished speaking, she offered flowers and took Xiao Honglin's arms like a couple.Xiao Honglin took the flowers from Bai Lina and sniffed them in relief, then handed them to Zheng Weiguo.Huang Mengran put the luggage into the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz, Ding Nengtong opened the door himself, and everyone got into the Mercedes-Benz together. At this time, a special passenger got off the plane, and this person was Liu Fengyun from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.She looked at the two Mercedes-Benz cars going away and shook her head, then walked slowly onto the shuttle bus. Liu Fengyun went to Dongzhou to visit her old father. Her father was a national model worker in the 1950s. The Cultural Revolution was labeled a counter-revolutionary. His wife died early. The old man lived a miserable life. Well, the old man loves the soil and is unwilling to leave Dongzhou, so Liu Fengyun runs to Dongzhou whenever he is free. In the airport VIP room, Yu Xinxin asked the waitress to serve hot towel rolls, fruit plates and drinks, and brewed the best Longjing. "Xinxin, I have to trouble you every time I go to Beijing. When will you give me a chance to go to Dongzhou, and then I will invite you to listen to the authentic Errenzhuan." Xiao Honglin said politely. "That's a good relationship, but Dongzhou is an old industrial base after all. Besides the chimneys, what else is there to see?" Yu Xinxin and Xiao Honglin knew each other very well. They spoke in a sweet tone, and their every move exuded the unique sweetness of professional women. "Yes, I made Xinxin laugh, but as long as Xinxin is willing to appreciate it, I'm willing to build a big garden for you." "Is this true?" Yu Xinxin was overwhelmed by Xiao Honglin's boldness, but she didn't know that Bai Lina sitting next to her was jealous and envious.Bai Lina is a woman who advocates power. She always believes that only a man with power is a good man.Although Xiao Honglin is fifty-five or sixteen years old, as the saying goes, "Mizhi's mother-in-law is a Han in Suide". Xiao Honglin's hometown is in Suide County, Shaanxi Province. He is a veritable northwestern North American man. Bai Lina has long coveted such a man. Just as Xiao Honglin's plane had just landed, Li Weimin, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, walked into Wang Yuanzhang's office with frowns. The person in charge of the bank who made the loan for the unfinished building, and the real estate company who owns the project of the unfinished building.After the meeting, Duan Yufen, president of Zhongshan Sub-branch of the City Construction Bank, reported to Li Weimin a situation that made Li Weimin worry for the executive deputy mayor, Jia Chaoxuan.Li Weimin is a very talkative person, and the person he can get along with the most in the municipal party committee is Wang Yuanzhang, the secretary of the municipal party committee. Wang Yuanzhang warmly made a cup of tea for Li Weimin, and then said with a smile: "Comrade Weimin, the mood is not right!" "Yuanzhang, I just finished the secretary's office meeting to clean up the unfinished buildings. Duan Yufen, the president of the Zhongshan Sub-branch of the City Construction Bank, reported a situation to me, and let me sweat for Comrade Chaoxuan!" Li Weimin sighed with his face pulled. "For the people, why, Comrade Chaoxuan has not been idle while studying in Beijing? Still commanding by remote control?" Wang Yuanzhang asked puzzled. "Yuanzhang, Jia Chaoxuan is not a remote commander, but an umbrella for so-called private enterprises!" Li Weimin said angrily. "For the people, private enterprises are an important part of the national economy, and it is a good thing to protect private enterprises!" Wang Yuanzhang said with a smile as he sipped his tea. "Yuanzhang, you didn't understand what I meant. Chen Fuzhong's Beidu Group used an unfinished building as a mortgage. It has borrowed three times. Each loan has exceeded 100 million. Jia Chaoxuan personally instructed the bank to lend each time. This time It was approved again to the Zhongshan Sub-branch of the City Construction Bank, but Duan Yufen has been resisting. 300 million, isn’t this robbing the bank? If the loan is given to Chen Fuzhong again this time, that unfinished building will be re-mortgaged for the fourth time. I told Duan Yufen Absolutely no loans." Because of Li Weimin's agitation, the cigarette butt in his hand almost burned his fingers.Wang Yuanzhang suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem. "I've heard for a long time that Chen Fuzhong from Beidu Group is very close to Jia Chaoxuan. This Jia Chaoxuan is really worrying!" "Yuanzhang, I heard that Jia Chaoxuan was restless in his studies in Beijing. He moved around so much that even Xiao Honglin couldn't sit still." Li Weimin sighed. "Comrade Honglin went to Beijing this time very low-key, and he didn't say hello to me. I was worried that he would use his own way to punish his own body!" Wang Yuanzhang sighed. "Comrade Yuanzhang, I think you are too accommodating in dealing with the relationship between the party and the government. You can't tolerate Xiao Honglin's independence from the municipal committee just because you are afraid of hurting the harmony of the party and the government. You have to criticize and correct. Behind absolute power is absolute power." corruption!" Li Weimin has always been frank and straightforward, but these words are very serious. Wang Yuanzhang frowned, pondered for a long time and said: "Weimin, you are right to criticize. In the past few years, I have been too weak in order to maintain the unity of the team. I should have strictly stopped the municipal government building from saying hello to the municipal party committee, but now, he, Xiao Honglin, has the final say on major projects and important funding issues, and he is arbitrary in the appointment and removal of important personnel, and he has become a self-employed party member." "Comrade Yuanzhang, I suggest you have a good talk with Comrade Honglin, you have to shake the mountain!" "Okay, after finishing the International Yangko Festival, I'll talk to him." Li Weimin stood up and looked at his watch and said, "Yuanzhang, I'm here to ask you to accompany me to see the progress of the teacher's new village project and give some advice. The teachers in the city are eagerly looking forward to living in a new house!" "If you don't look for me, I want to look for you too! Many teachers have opinions on the housing allocation plan. Let's go, let's discuss as we go." Wang Yuanzhang said while signaling to the secretary to ask for a car. The two walked out of the office side by side. There was hearty laughter from the two of them.
