Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

The inspection team stayed in Nanzhou for a week and went through the basic inspection procedures, but as far as Cheng Yiyi knew: the inspection results were not satisfactory. Secretary Ren Huaihang was not very happy about this. When the inspection team left, he made it clear to Minister Qiao Xiaoyang: This inspection did not truly reflect the existing cadre structure in Nanzhou, nor did it fully implement the intention of the provincial party committee. As the number one secretary, I have a responsibility, and I have to review it with the inspection team.Qiao Xiaoyang naturally wouldn't say anything. They had seen a lot of accidents during the inspection.Accidents are not terrible, and the results are not public anyway.The terrible thing is that the leaders of the provincial party committee are not satisfied.In fact, this is what Ren Huaihang is most worried about. What kind of impression the results of the investigation will form in the mind of the leader may be related to his next step and arrangement.

Under normal circumstances, Cheng went all the way to Ren Huaihang's office and left after finishing his talk, but today he was stopped by Ren Huaihang.Ren Huaihang rubbed his head and said slowly: "How can a procedural inspection be so complicated? I think some people have ulterior motives. This is too bad, and the atmosphere is not right!" Of course Cheng Yiyi understood what Ren Huaihang meant, but he couldn't take it up. He just nodded and said, "Democratic recommendation is only a basic requirement, and the key is the opinion of the provincial party committee."

"Nanzhou used to be clean and upright, but now that some people mess it up, it looks chaotic from the outside. This is not the real Nanzhou! All the way, look, look, in the face of such big right and wrong, some comrades Organizational discipline is not strong, especially individual leading cadres." Ren Huaihang stroked his hair again. Cheng Yiyi didn't talk much, but just listened.Ren Huaihang suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Mayor Shida didn't say anything about the investigation, did he?" "I haven't heard of it." Cheng Yiyi replied simply this time.

Ren Huaihang just smiled and asked how Nanri's project preparations were going.Cheng Yiyi said: "Last time, Jiang Hechuan said that work will start recently, and he wants to ask Secretary Ren to cut the ribbon." Ren Huaihang has always valued Jiang Hechuan, and he knew Jiang Hechuan when he was in the province before.Ren Huaihang laughed and said: "This old Jiang is still very solid in his work. The key is to do it like a person. The quality of private entrepreneurs is a big problem. The quality determines the success or failure of an enterprise. Some of our entrepreneurs are still managed by families. , without modern consciousness, how can the enterprise develop? A small fortune will make you safe, and the problem is serious!"

Cheng Yiyi continued: "This is not a local problem. Most private business owners across the country have this problem. It is a feature of the transitional period, and it is useless to be anxious. The main problem is that some leaders have not yet been able to act like the secretary. You are so aware of the problem!" "This issue needs to be studied. Along the way, I suggest that you take the lead and let the Political Research Office conduct a special research. Dig deeper, think long-term, don't just look at the flowers, and have weight." "That's great! I'll discuss it with them when I get back."

"Be quick, preferably within a month. The next step in the province may be to hold a seminar on the development of private enterprises, with a high standard. Secretary Zhengming of the Provincial Party Committee must attend in person." The Secretary Zhengming mentioned by Ren Huaihang is the top secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Ye Zhengming came down from Beijing only last year. "Okay." Cheng Yiyi replied. The two chatted a few more gossips, and Cheng Yiyi was about to leave.Before going out, Ren Huaihang stopped him and asked, "Is there any clue about the cooperation between your female comrade-in-arms who came from Beijing last time and Nanri?" Said: "It's not very clear yet. I haven't contacted recently. But I have already told Jiang Hechuan and the others that we need to strengthen contact and try our best to promote cooperation."

"This is very important." Ren Huaihang patted his head and said to Cheng Yiyi, "You have to ask yourself!" Cheng Yiyi nodded quickly.After returning from Ren Huaihang's office, Er Button was sitting.Er Button blushed and said, "Uncle, thank you. Secretary Qian gave me a section of the expressway project. I must thank Uncle for this matter! Everyone in the village also asked me to thank Uncle." "Ah." Cheng Yiyi replied. Er Kouzi then stepped forward to close the door, took out a rectangular paper bag wrapped in newspaper from the satchel beside him, put it on the table, and said, "This is... this is a wish from the villagers, please be sure to accept it." Take it!"

"What are you messing with?" Cheng Yiyi suddenly became angry, and his voice rose, making Er Button's face even redder in fright.Looking at Er Button all the way, Cheng realized that what he just said was too serious, so he slowed down and said, "I can't take this. You go back and tell the folks that I just said something to the best of my ability. You still need to do the project." If the project is done well, it will add face to me; if the project is not done well, especially if there is a problem with the quality, it will harm my uncle. It is not easy for you to spend this little money, go back and use it where you want to use it.”

Er Button's face became darker and redder from excitement.Cheng Yilu delivered the paper package to him and said, "Go back and say hello to the folks! Do a good job at the project! I still have something to do, so I won't keep you. Okay?" "Okay, okay, uncle." Er Button's tears rolled in his eyes, he put the paper bag in the bag, looked back at Cheng Yiyi, opened the door and left.Cheng Yiyi thought that even these simple mountain farmers knew how to manage and send money. Alas, the atmosphere is really a problem. In the afternoon, Cheng Yiyi specially summoned Ma Hongtao from the Political Research Office and several other writers to do a special research on the research topic assigned by Secretary Huaihang.Everyone thought it was a good subject.However, how to grasp, how to dig, and how to put forward constructive viewpoints are really difficult.This is a common problem, but it is also related to the initial stage of market economy development.Everyone, you and I talked about it all afternoon. Cheng Yiyi finally concluded: "The basic theme is clear, and the thinking is also there. Please ask the Political Research Office to come up with the outline as soon as possible, and after sending it to Secretary Huaihang for approval, start research. This The topic is the overriding topic of the current political research office, and it must be unique, deep, and effective."

After everyone dispersed, Ye Kai sent the journey all the way to Huhai Villa.A vice-chairman of the Provincial Women's Federation led a team and made a special trip to Nanzhou to visit Deputy Secretary Xu Zhen, who was temporarily appointed.This is a necessary etiquette.When the temporary cadres are here, the unit they work in will come once a year, not only to visit the temporary cadres, but also to symbolically send some condolences to some places.In the morning, Deputy Secretary Chang Zhenxing accompanied to Renyi County to visit some impoverished households.In the evening, the municipal party committee hosted a banquet.This is not only etiquette, but also enough face for the comrades who are temporarily on duty.

Secretary Ren Huaihang did not attend because he had something to do back in the provincial capital.Mayor Wang Shida became the protagonist tonight. Deputy secretary Xu Zhen was obviously very happy, and she kept drinking with everyone.She has a lot of alcohol, which was tested when she first arrived.And she drinks straight, like a man.Cheng Yiyi has always been reluctant to look at women who are officials, Xu Zhen is an exception.After all, she still has some feminine breath on her body, and sometimes she looks a little weak.This is not good for others, but Cheng Yiyi thinks it is more in line with the characteristics of a woman. Usually, women are in the minority at banquets.And tonight, women accounted for the majority.Three women in one play, let alone seven or eight women, the more the play is sung, the more rounded it will be, and the more it will be sung, the more flavorful it will be.Wang Shida flushed with excitement, perhaps just because of the wine.The women said one thing after another, and finally even talked about dirty jokes.Wang Shida said: "This reminds me of a little story I heard not long ago." Immediately someone responded: "Then let's talk? Mayor Wang, don't be a fool." Wang Shida said: "Okay, let me tell you something. This is about Su Dongpo once taking his wife and younger sister to play on the lake. He recited poems and made a good time. Suddenly there was a strong storm on the lake, and the clothes and skirts of the people on the boat were wet. At this time, Su Dongpo's wife made a couplet to make fun of Su Xiaomei. This couplet reads: "When the waves rise, my sister's bottom will be wet." Wang Shida stopped talking suddenly, everyone was silent, and suddenly burst into laughter.Xu Zhen said: "The mayor's Shanglian is too pornographic." "Yellow? I didn't hear it." Wang Shida smiled deliberately. Chang Zhenxing said: "Don't go around anymore, let's go on." Wang Shida said: "Su Xiaomei was ashamed and anxious when she heard her sister-in-law teasing her like this, but she couldn't think of a good second line. After a while, the wind stopped Yes, it's the setting sun and the weather is getting cold. Su Xiaomei has a second couplet called..." "What is it called?" "It's called... It's called, 'As the sun goes down, my sister-in-law is trembling all over.'" After Wang Shida finished speaking, he looked at everyone, and everyone at the table fell silent, as if they were reminiscing about Su Xiaomei's second couplet.Suddenly, everyone laughed at the same time.After a while of laughing, Xu Zhen said, "I didn't expect Mayor Wang to be so funny." Cheng Yiyi also smiled along the way, he had heard this story before.But he had to laugh, or it would appear disrespectful to the storyteller. Probably because of the pairing of men and women, and pornographic stories to accompany the wine, the more I drank, the more I drank.Wang Shida was confused at first, Chang Zhenxing drank a lot and was still rushing left and right.Cheng Yiyi has always adopted the tactics of not provoking, not taking the initiative, and not invading, so he drank less alcohol.But no matter how little it is, it is more than half a catty.At the end of the drink, the topic somehow turned to the fact that the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee came to Nanzhou for inspection.Chairman Cao of the Provincial Women's Federation said: "I heard that the inspection in Nanzhou was not ideal. I heard them talking about it in the province." Wang Shida opened his eyes at this moment, smelling of alcohol: "This only shows that there is a gap between the provincial party committee's intentions and the reality of Nanzhou. The common people's eyes are sharp, and no matter what they do, everyone can see it." Cheng Yiyi was startled, but he couldn't persuade Wang Shida.Chang Zhenxing just squinted his eyes, as if listening carefully.Wang Shida continued: "Democracy is a process. Democracy is the key to inspecting cadres. You can't let one person have the final say. This is the situation in Nanzhou now. Some people want to cover the sky with one hand. How can this work? It's impossible!" No one expected that Mayor Wang Shida would say this, and no one answered.Cheng Yiyi stood up, holding a glass, and said: "Chairman Cao, Mayor Wang, I think the wine is almost ready. I suggest everyone to toast together, okay?" "Okay, okay, let's cheer together!" Xu Zhen also held the cup. Wang Shida looked at the people on the table, then at the wine in the glass, and said, "Drink it, I won't drink it. I'm dizzy." Chang Zhenxing said: "Alright, stop drinking if you feel dizzy, let's do it." After dinner, Xu Zhen accompanied Chairman Cao and the others to sing.The rest went their separate ways.Cheng Yiyi has recently become interested in surfing the Internet because of his laptop computer.As soon as he left Huhai Villa, he asked Ye Kai to take him home.He boiled some water and hurriedly turned on the computer.Just as I was about to watch, the phone rang.I saw that it was a call from Beijing, but I didn't know who it was.He picked it up, but it was Wu Lanlan. Wu Lanlan asked, "Are you alone? I didn't bother you, did I?" "Where. No. Of course it's alone. You just came back. You..." Cheng Yiyi wanted to ask but didn't know what to ask. Wu Lanlan smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "Don't be embarrassing. I want to ask you about the cooperation with Nanri. What is the prospect? I'm not sure. You know the inside story, so you can give me some advice." "It's hard to say. Cooperation is of course a good thing. You have also investigated the situation in Nanri, and the key is both of you. I certainly hope that your cooperation will be successful." Cheng Yiyi said vaguely. "Doesn't that mean you didn't say anything?" Wu Lanlan smiled again and said, "If you say yes, I'll invest. I'll listen to you." "That's not right! Investment is your own business, what am I? You have to be sure." Cheng Yi said while thinking about Wu Lanlan's appearance, not the current one, but the appearance of more than ten years ago. Wu Lanlan was silent for a while, and then asked again: "Feng Jun asked me to cooperate with him in mining, saying that the return will be high, and I am going to invest a little. Anyway, he is an old comrade in arms, so he is more at ease than others." "I've heard about it. I told Feng Jun about it. Now the mining industry has many problems and conflicts, and you have seen it with your own eyes. I'm afraid..." Cheng Yiyi thought for a while and said, "However, there is Feng Jun Now, it's always better. You decide!" Wu Lanlan said thank you on the other end, and asked Cheng Yiyi how it felt to be alone at home.Cheng Yiyi said it was very good. Didn’t you spend many years alone when you were a soldier?Wu Lanlan said that was different.Cheng Yiyi didn't ask why it was different, chatted for a while, and then hung up.Before hanging up, Wu Lanlan said, "I might go to Nanzhou soon." "Of course you are welcome!" Cheng Yiyi said. Cheng Xiaolu sent an email, as Cheng Yiyi had expected, first highly praised his father's application of modern science and technology, and then introduced his mother's performance after arriving in Australia.After Zhang Xiaoyu went, because of the support of Cheng Xiaolu and several other staff members of Nanri Company in Australia, she didn't feel much discomfort.Although the language is different, it is rare to deal with foreigners directly.Cheng Xiaolu buys food, drink and so on.In addition to staying at home, she just went out for a walk.Australia is an immigrant country, unlike in China, when a foreigner walks on the street, many pairs of eyes will immediately stare at him.In Australia, no matter what skin color you are or what country you are from, everyone lives independently and lives in peace.Xiaolu said: Mom is ready to learn languages. He sees that my mother has a talent in languages, so it must not be difficult to learn.However, my mother also has a bad point, that is, she is always worried about my father.Always want to make long distance calls home.It seems that a husband is still more important than a son! At the end of the email, a paragraph of Zhang Xiaoyu's words was attached, which naturally told Cheng Yiyi to pay attention at home alone, drink less and be less angry.Exercise more and rest more.Open more windows at home, and let the air flow in spring.Wash the clothes in the washing machine, don’t wash the ones that are too difficult, throw them away; there are new shirts she bought before she left in the closet.Moreover, Zhang Xiaoyu asked Cheng Yiyi to send an e-mail once a week, saying that this would be convenient and allow him to talk more. After reading the email, Cheng Yilu felt a little empty in his heart. Before going to bed, Cheng Yiyi thought about what Mayor Wang Shida said about the Nanzhou team inspection.Now even units like the Provincial Women's Federation know about it, which shows that the Provincial Party Committee attaches great importance to the inspection of Nanzhou.No one can say for sure what the next step will be, whether to re-examine or just leave it at that.For Cheng Yiyi, he hoped that the inspection would go smoothly and that there would be no stubble that should not have occurred.But now that it's out, we can't be suspicious of each other.According to Mayor Wang Shida's tone, at least Ren Huaihang didn't say more good things to him.Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such ugly words as "covering the sky with one hand".When I saw Deputy Mayor Xu Shuofeng the day before yesterday, his expression seemed to be not as high as before.Did he hear something too?It stands to reason not.Qi Ming said that the Provincial Secretary's meeting had already been decided, and for Xu Shuofeng, it was only a matter of time before he left. Just like a pond of water, all the fish originally hide and move under the water.It's all right now. When I inspected it, all the fish poked their heads out.Cheng thought all the way, feeling a little helpless...
