Chapter 19 Chapter Eighteen

seventy-five "I think there is still something." Huang Jiangbei pushed the document in front of him aside, leaned his upper body on the back of the big leather swivel chair, picked up the blue and white teacup, gulped several sips in succession, and stared at Looking at Gao Dehe who was a little at a loss, he said: "I seem to have told you that the most basic requirement for working beside me is to speak straight." Xiao Gao swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "I want to say...about the head of Qu County in Linzhong County..." "What about Magistrate Qu? Do you think it's better for me to have a relationship with him? Just kidding. You think I'd better talk to him. Don't you? Don't make the relationship too rigid. Is that so?"

"Yes...the Municipal People's Congress is about to start, I think...you'd better smooth out all aspects of your relationship..." Huang Jiangbei asked, "Is there anything else?" Xiao Gao: "No more..." Huang Jiangbei smiled and said: "Your suggestion is very good. Listen to you, go tell the county magistrate Qu, and ask him to wait for me for a while. After I finish reading the report of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, I will go to see him." After reading the report of the Municipal People's Congress, Huang Jiangbei really got excited.He immediately flipped through the calendar on the table, counted the days, and walked back and forth in the office excitedly. Then, he reached for the phone, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea of ​​making a call, and strode out the door go.As soon as he reached the entrance of the elevator, the elevator drove up. As soon as the door opened, Secretary Lin walked out of the elevator.Huang Jiangbei hurriedly said, "I'm just going to find you! Have you read the urgent document from the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress?" Secretary Lin smiled and said, "I knew you were impatient, and you wouldn't be able to sit still after reading this document. You guessed right Bar!"

They returned to Huang Jiangbei's office. Huang Jiangbei made tea for Secretary Lin.Huang Jiangbei said: "The Municipal People's Congress is held so many days in advance, and the preparations are quite intense..." Secretary Lin smiled: "You don't want to open early?" Huang Jiangbei tried his best to calm down: "Of course, there are advantages to opening in advance... But can a lot of preparation work be done in time? From this perspective, it may be safer to delay a month or two..." Secretary Lin smiled: "You have learned to be like me, and you are safe and secure when you speak."

Huang Jiangbei also smiled: "It's safe." Secretary Lin suddenly stopped talking. "What... am I wrong?" Huang Jiangbei asked tentatively. "Jiangbei, to tell you the truth, the idea of ​​holding the Municipal People's Congress in advance has been in my mind for a long time. In the previous stage, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee held a meeting for this purpose, and you were not invited to attend. They discussed the issue of the leadership of the municipal government. Members of the Standing Committee agree with me that it is very important to solve your "agent" problem as soon as possible and to stabilize the city government's team as soon as possible to break the stalemate in Zhangtai's work in the past two years. According to my suggestion, The Provincial Party Committee and the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress issued a report requesting that the city's People's Congress be held in advance. This is the reason for today's urgent message. Now that there is not much time left, we still have to do a big thing, let all the representatives and the people of the city Everyone thinks that you, the 'interim government head', are qualified to become the official head..."

"Please say." "I don't care about how to do it. I think you have a way. I'm afraid it's too 'safe'..." At this point, Secretary Lin smiled meaningfully. "Of course there can't be any big mistakes." "Let me think about it. I will report to you when I have specific ideas." Secretary Lin smiled and said, "Stop pretending, I know you already have an idea, so hurry up and come up with your idea." Huang Jiangbei smiled and insisted: "Let me think about it... think about it carefully..." Secretary Lin stood up: "There is one thing I shouldn't ask, but I still want to ask. I heard that you have been in contact with Tian Weidong a lot recently."

"Tian Weidong wants to see me, and you agreed." "..." "What's wrong?" "I'm just asking...just asking." After Secretary Lin left, Huang Jiangbei couldn't force himself to sit down at the desk again for a long time, and then bury his head in the pile of documents that were urgently waiting for him to deal with.I don't know why, every time he finishes talking with Secretary Lin, his mood is always in such a mess.It's hard to tell what kind of mixed taste it is.He closed his eyes, forced himself to be calm, processed the remaining documents and reports as quickly as possible, and then did two things: First, he called Wanfang's chief engineering office and asked about it. How likely is it to get the first batch of finished cars in advance; second, let someone find Xia Zhiyuan immediately.

Twenty minutes later, two replies came in almost at the same time: 1, the possibility of producing a finished car before the end of this month was almost zero; 2, Assistant Xia didn't know where to go. anxious.All my worries for the past three days have been concentrated on these two words.anxious.He even blamed Secretary Lin a little bit.To convene the National People's Congress in advance to solve his "agent" problem in advance, we should discuss it with him in advance.Even if you can't discuss it, you have to say hello.Such a short time before the end of the month is indeed too urgent, and I have no clue about anything. How can I guarantee that this "battle" will be foolproof?More than an hour ago, Secretary Lin called again to ask what measures he would take to ensure the successful holding of the National People's Congress.This was already the eighth time Secretary Lin came to urge me after the conversation three days ago.During the three days, he went to Wanfang many times, consulted with all the senior managers there, and eliminated obstacles one after another.But some obstacles are almost insurmountable: For example, some parts must be ordered from a few specialized manufacturers.From order to delivery, it will take more than half a year at the fastest.Some need to buy goods from abroad, not to mention, it may take half a year to go through all kinds of procedures, which is still fast, and the car will not be able to run without a single part.If the quality of a key component is not up to standard, it may lead to catastrophe.Nothing seems to go well these days.After talking with the county magistrate that day, he felt that in terms of the overall strategic goal of getting Wanfang to produce the finished car as soon as possible, it is not impossible to consider using his brake pipe.He asked Mr. Ge to carefully inspect the quality and ask him to make the final decision.He even wrote a letter to Teacher Ge himself: "If you can't use the products of this factory for a long time, can you consider the current needs and use them for a while. Because no matter if you go to Shanghai, Changchun, or Beijing to order from any big manufacturer, It’s too late. What I mean is to use it for the time being. If you find any problems during use, you can also ask the comrades in Liudaohe Township to help them improve and improve. Comrade Qu Sanchun in Linzhong County also intends to do so.” etc. Wait, wait... But Ge Huiyuan just refused to do it.Without making a sound, without answering, without nodding or shaking, the days went by like this.And that Xia Zhiyuan, who was finally found, was also very disobedient.Huang Jiangbei hoped that he could go to Wanfang for him to sit in town for a period of time, stick to the end, and grasp the finished car project.We talked a few times, but we neither nodded nor shook our heads, and were only interested in being with Zheng Yanzhang.Zheng Yanzhang was intact and reappeared in a very dramatic way, which really made Huang Jiangbei happy.But Huang Jiangbei's thinking was different from Zheng Yanzhang's.Huang Jiangbei still used the same strategy: until Tian Weiming can't spit out all the embezzled funds, don't touch him for now.Wanfang needs a working capital of tens of millions to ship the car at the end of the month.It is difficult for all parties to raise funds, and forcing Tian Weiming is also one of the tricks.If Tian Weiming's case is settled now, this kid will feel that he is done for, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't vomit the money. Why bother if he lost more than 10 million in vain?This should be easy to understand, but it still doesn't work.With rumors everywhere that the higher ups were going to send a working group to solve Zhangtai's problem, the city really lost control of Xia and Zheng.Out of helplessness, after discussing with Secretary Lin, Huang Jiangbei sent someone to temporarily "protect" Zheng Yanzhang and Ge Ping, which aroused Xia Zhiyuan's extreme anger.What disturbed Huang Jiangbei in particular was that Ge Huiyuan's mental state deteriorated sharply as a result.But I can get some consolation from the fact that Ge Huiyuan finally signed the agreement on using the brake pipe in Liudaohe Township. Unloaded into Wanfang warehouse.

seventy six It wasn't until dawn that Lu Hua found out that Lao Ge hadn't come home the night before, so he hurriedly called up his younger sister, and the two hurried to the company's headquarters building and knocked hard on the door of the general manager's office, but there was no response from the door.Ge Huiyuan was sitting blankly in the office at this time, as if he didn't hear the sound outside the door at all, he just stared straight out of the window, his face was pale and gloomy, and there was a letter from Huang Jiangbei requesting him to use Liudao The letter from the batch of brake pipes from Hexiang.He couldn't understand why Huang Jiangbei had always been regarded by him as the best student, the most outstanding young man, and the most promising national core member, why he also learned this extremely vulgar way of accommodation and came to force him?I know I'm weak, and I know I shouldn't be the general manager I don't deserve.I have made up my mind to resign, can you stop forcing me?Don't force me to do these things that I shouldn't do?I've done enough, and I've been sorry to the many good people who still treat me as a teacher.They call me "teacher", I'm sorry for them, I'm sorry!

A few minutes later, Tian Manfang rushed over.She knocked on the door and persuaded softly: "Mr. Ge... Mr. Ge... You have always been the person who cares about me and loves me the most. What's the matter, can you tell me? Today's assembly workshop is the first place in the trial assembly Car, this is something we have been thinking about for several years. Didn’t you, Mr. Ge, spend all your time in the past few years just because of this day? How can you not be here on this day today... You heard ?" Still no response from the door. Lu Hua had no choice but to invite two fitters to forcefully unlock the door.Tian Manfang hastily pulled them aside, not allowing them to force their way in.Lu Hua said, "Don't waste your time, just unlock it."

Tian Manfang knew that Lu Hua usually looked down on her, but at this time, she couldn't care less about Mr. Ge, so she stepped forward to stop her: "Sister Lu..." Lu Hua said: "Tian Manfang, don't meddle in other people's business anymore. Wanfang and Lao Ge are here today, and you, Ms. Tian, ​​have made great achievements. Don't meddle in our affairs anymore. Will you? Please. Open the lock and listen to me!" Tian Manfang held back tears of shame, pulled Lu Hua aside, and said in a low voice, "Don't settle accounts with me, Wanfang Company's accounts will be settled one day. You are looking forward to this day, and I am also looking forward to it." The most important thing now is Mr. Ge's safety... You are his wife, and you are also engaged in medical work. You should know Mr. Ge's condition best. It is hard to say what kind of condition he is in there now. In case he can't accept our method of forcibly breaking in, and does something drastic before we enter the door, you and I will regret it for the rest of our lives, and it will be too late! You should understand better than anyone else, Mr. Ge has a big heart grievances...he should be like us, live well until that day, and wait for the top and bottom to come together to settle Wanfang's accounts over the past few years...what do you think?"

Lu Hua said, "He's not sick..." Tian Manfang hurriedly said: "Yes, he is not sick...but he is not happy..." Lu Hua said: "It's because of you... because of you..." As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and tears flowed down her face.While the two were talking, there was finally movement in the door. After a while, the door suddenly opened. Ge Huiyuan was extremely tired and pale. He looked guiltily at those relatives and acquaintances who were waiting for him in front of the door, and said nothing. In a word, bow your head and leave.Tian Manfang walked into Mr. Ge's office slowly, and saw that the desk, Dafang tea table, couch, and even the floor were covered with banners he had just written with a brush, and each banner had the same four words. A big square character: Heaven is above. Tian Manfang's heart was shaken. This is the first sleepless night since returning to Zhangtai?The sky was dimly lit, and a chill hit, waking Huang Jiangbei, who was sleeping in all his clothes, from the sofa.In the dimness, he seemed to hear a discordant voice, jumped up from the sofa, and rushed out the door.The surrounding area is still gray.He raised his head and looked around for the voice in a daze.But except for the low sound of the wind and the occasional sound of a small tricycle coming from the alley, there were no unusual sounds in the surrounding area.Xiaobing, who was awakened, rubbed her sleepy eyes, walked out of the door slowly, and asked muttering, "Dad, what are you doing?" Huang Jiangbei woke up completely at this time, and laughed at himself: "I It seems that the test bench in the Wanfang assembly workshop exploded again...""Dad, you are really crazy. Day and night, Wanfang and Wanfang are all there. Fortunately, your Wanfang does not produce atomic bombs." Xiaobing said , and handed him the thick and heavy old woolen overcoat. Back in the house, Huang Jiangbei couldn't lie down any longer, tossed and turned, still worried, got out of bed quietly, took the phone to the outside room on tiptoe, called Wanfang's chief dispatching room, and asked about the situation in the past few days. The situation of the final assembly test, and asked them to tell several bosses, "I have been in constant contact with me these two days. It used to be stipulated that the situation should be reported once a day. From today, it will be reported every half a day. When something happens, report it at any time." After hanging up the phone, he still sat by the phone for a long time.Xia Zhiyuan's disagreement...Shang Bing's condition worsened...don't even bother about Xiaobing's study, and smooth over Mr. Ge's misunderstanding...I don't have that time at all...I went back to the office these two days to accompany his Only instant noodles.Of course, there are still as many invitations as there are snowflakes.Even if he eats six, eight, or even twelve meals a day, he can't stand it, so how miserable is it to deal with instant noodles!He didn't eat, not because he was pretending to be honest, let alone because he was afraid of being discussed behind his back.At the municipal level, no one cares about how many meals he has eaten, he just doesn't have that mood.He asked Xiao Gao to decline all these invitations politely, and now he has only one place in his eyes: Wan Fang.Ever since Dong Xiujuan and Yu Yefeng committed suicide in fear of guilt, the outside news agencies have not released any slightly shocking news from Zhangtai.Huangjiangbei needs it to produce finished cars, Zhangtai City needs it to produce finished cars, and the province is getting impatient. They need this booster in every aspect.Now there is too much need for the sound of gongs and drums, the flying of colorful flags, the roar of motors, and the red banner headlines occupying the main page... Brother Zhiyuan, why are you still so bookish?Didn't you hear the "guns"?It is already the eve of the "Great War", and the soldiers are approaching the city, striving to win.Do you think this is just a matter of gain and loss for a certain person?Do you think it's just a success or failure in a certain place?Aren't we making an effort to give birth to this history and the next century?We have to stand our ground, not for ourselves.I don't care what others say behind my back, including you... When it was time to get off work that day, Xia Zhiyuan came to look for Huang Jiangbei.He entered the mayor's assistant's office, which he hadn't entered for many days, and the desk was covered with a thin layer of dust.He sat in the office for a while, looking at Huang Jiangbei's office from time to time.Huang Jiangbei also sat blankly in the office, looking at Xia Zhiyuan's office from time to time.After a while, Xia Zhiyuan seemed to have made up his mind, packed some things on his desk, picked up a letter, and walked to Huang Jiangbei's office.In the office, Huang Jiangbei heard Xia Zhiyuan's footsteps coming towards him, and his expression was a little excited.But after the footsteps approached the office, they suddenly left again. Xia Zhiyuan changed his mind the moment he approached the door of Huang Jiangbei's office.He went to hand the letter to Xiao Gao: "Brother, please give this letter to Mayor Huang." Xiao Gao hoped that they would meet, so he said, "Isn't he in the office?" Xia Zhiyuan said, "I'm sorry, Excuse me." This is a resignation letter, and I have handed in five consecutive ones, and this is the sixth. Xiao Gao carefully handed Xia Zhiyuan's letter to Huang Jiangbei and said, "Talk to him..." Huang Jiangbei remained silent. Xiao Gao had no choice but to take out a large package of books he had just borrowed from the reference room of the Machinery Bureau: "This is the book you asked for about automobile manufacturing, and it's on the bookshelf." Huang Jiangbei still bowed his head and remained silent. Xiao Gao hesitated for a moment: "Is there anything else?" Huang Jiangbei suddenly raised his head and asked, "Xiao Gao, do you think Wanfang will be able to produce the first batch of cars before the end of the month?" Xiao Gao suddenly smiled.Huang Jiangbei was nervous for a moment: "What are you laughing at?" Xiao Gao said: "I have never seen you so unconfident. You have asked me this question several times." Huang Jiangbei reflected: "I have asked you several times? Is it like this?" seventy - seven To be fair, God did not oppose Huang Jiangbei in the first place.On the morning of the 16th day after he lost more than 10 jins, exciting news came from Wanfang Assembly Vehicle: the first car will leave the assembly line in red and green, and drive out of the gate of Wanfang. The sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and cheers that day are still talked about by folks in Zhangtai City.That day, some mountain people in Lishugou, under the leadership of the village cadres, marched towards the county town with drums and gongs.On the street in the middle of the county seat, the car in red and green was driving slowly.On both sides of the street, there was a crowd of pedestrians, watching from the sidewalk. Gao Sheng and Er Tijiao exploded one after another from the arrow stacks of the ancient Drum Tower wall at the north gate, scaring away the quiet and peaceful flocks of pigeons.The celebrating crowd followed the car, walked out of the city gate, and walked farther and farther.Gradually, there are only a small number of middle school students and their teachers who are still sending them away.In the end, even the most enthusiastic people couldn't hold on any longer. Seeing the car continue to drive towards the misty mountains in the distance, they all stopped in bewilderment.People don't understand why this new car, which just rolled off the assembly line, drove straight out of the city? At this time, the meeting hall of the upcoming press conference in the headquarters building of Wanfang Company was brightly lit. After signing in in the foyer, the reporters received a generous souvenir, talked and laughed happily, and entered the hall one after another in groups of three or five .Tian Manfang dealt with distinguished guests from all directions (including Huang Jiangbei, Secretary Lin and some other leaders of the city) and reporters with agility and style.But after a while, she quietly slipped out through the side door. Here is the passage leading to the backstage exclusively for the staff, dark and secluded.Tian Manfang walked by here, and the heels of her metal high-heeled shoes hit the terrazzo floor, making a series of crisp and bright sounds, which seemed particularly heart-palpitating.She walked into a pile of old scenes, old props, and old stage installations, and we saw a person sitting in these dusty piles of old things.He is Tian Weidong. Tian Manfang said: "I told you, don't come to me again!" Tian Weidong said, "Here, here is your plane ticket, and here is your passport." Tian Manfang said: "I won't go with you!" Tian Weidong said: "Don't delay any longer, you have to leave immediately. I just got the news that Zheng Yanzhang has not been in a coma these days. He has been conducting secret investigations, and has also investigated your relationship with these incidents. There is also Mr. Ge's daughter , maybe with something more important, he directly sued Zhongnanhai. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Supreme People's Procuratorate have accepted the case, and they are going to send a joint investigation team here..." "Wouldn't that be great? Then I won't be leaving." "Sister Man..." "Weidong, I've been waiting for this day..." "Then you are ruined too!" "I'm already ruined!" "Sister Man, I want you...I need you...you come with me...you know very well that you are very, very important to me. I can't live without you..." "Okay, okay..." "Are you unwilling to leave Huangjiangbei?" "Stop talking about Huang Jiangbei with me." "You tell me the truth..." "Weidong, I can no longer be nice to someone like a real woman. I don't have the qualifications, I don't have the capital. I want it in my heart, but I can't do it anymore. The only thing I can do now is the only thing I can do. What I want to do is to let people all over the world know what kind of person your father and brother are! I want to let them get the punishment they deserve, and I want the justice of the world to shine in my hands once, even if this flash , may ruin the rest of my own life... I want to yell openly in Zhangtai. Even if such a yell, it also exposes the ugliness I once had, I am willing... This is my truth." "No. You did this for that Huang Jiangbei!" "Maybe so. It's too late...do you understand?" she cried, tears welling up at the same time. At this time, Huang Jiangbei came to the back.He seemed to hear something, and asked loudly, "Is anyone there? Hey, who's there?" Tian Manfang came out in a panic.Huang Jiangbei looked around for a while: "What are you doing here? The reception is about to start, but Mr. Ge hasn't come yet, should I send someone to invite him?" Tian Manfang hurriedly said, "I'll go." Huang Jiangbei noticed that Tian Manfang's eye circles were a little red and swollen: "What's wrong with you? Are you crying? Why are you crying while hiding here alone?" Tian Manfang blushed: "...who is crying!" She turned around and left.After Huang Jiangbei watched her walk out of the side door hesitantly, he immediately walked into the pile of old things to check.Tian Weidong hid it between two old scenes, but he didn't find it. When Huang Jiangbei returned to the reception hall, he was immediately surrounded by reporters from various newspapers.They were all asking, why did the first car leave the city?A reporter asked: "Mayor Huang, how are you going to use the first Wanfang brand car just produced? Are you going to display it as a historical souvenir? Can you reveal the bottom?" Huang Jiangbei smiled: "The car was produced by Wanfang Company, and it was produced under very difficult conditions after the withdrawal of the American personnel. The right to dispose of the first car is in the hands of Wanfang people. Well, we still need to invite Mr. Ge from Wanfang Company to expose it. We are all customers, so we can’t do things that turn our backs on customers!” The same reporter: "As soon as the car left the factory, it drove straight into the mountains. Is there any purpose in that?" Huang Jiangbei turned his head and asked a chief engineer with a smile on purpose: "Chief engineer Liang, is there any purpose here?" Chief Engineer Liang took the microphone and shyly said: "Of course there is an intention. I will tell you the specific content when we, President Ge, come." In such a short period of time as the mayor of this city, Wanfang Company has produced the first car, what kind of impact do you think this will have on Zhangtai City and you in the future?" Huang Jiangbei: "Let's wait a while to discuss what kind of impact it may have on the future economic growth of Zhangtai City. I think there will always be an impact. As for the impact of this matter on me personally, it is Like the hundreds of thousands of people in Duizhangtai. I am just one of the hundreds of thousands, that's all." As soon as the third reporter raised his hand, Huang Jiangbei hurriedly said, "The host hasn't arrived yet, and the reception hasn't officially started yet. Please hold on, everyone?" Then there was laughter in the venue.The reporters dispersed again, looking for other hot people to interview. I went to find Tian Manfang of Mr. Ge, but I couldn't find it after a long search.The reporters waited a little anxiously, and those on the rostrum were also a little impatient.But Tian Manfang brought back the news that Mr. Ge had two comrades from Beijing called away early in the morning.Secretary Huang Jiang Beilin was surprised, comrades from Beijing?Isn't it the working group from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the High Procuratorate? Tian Manfang asked: "What should I do?" Huang Jiangbei turned around and asked, "Secretary Lin, what do you think?" Secretary Lin said: "Then let's open it. What else can I do? Where are the comrades from Beijing now?" No one answered his question.
