Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

After Minister Qiu Haoyue left Nanzhou, Ren Huaihang seemed to be in a better mood.As for the problems in Qingshu Village, no one pointed out, and Ren Huaihang didn't have any trouble finding Cheng Yilu again.For this matter, Fang Lianghua specially explained to Cheng Yiyi, saying that the old man was already mentally ill, and he couldn't stand it.On the phone, Fang Lianghua's tone was even a little sad.Cheng Yiyi said: "Forget it, it's over, but it can't happen again next time. You should pay more attention to that little Lu party secretary. If there is a problem, you must deal with it in time. It seems that the masses are still very fond of him." Opinions." Fang Lianghua faltered, and Cheng Yiyi didn't say much.

The air in Nanzhou seems to have something big to do every day.Especially in officialdom, it is always mysterious. Feng Jun made several phone calls to ask Minister Qiu Haoyue about the personnel arrangement after he came to Nanzhou.Cheng Yiyi smiled: "There is no movement, Minister Qiu is here mainly for research." "Isn't it? I heard that we talked. Mayor Shida said he recommended me, but Comrade Huaihang didn't quite agree." "Aren't you very clear, better than me. If you hear anything else, tell me." "No more. Captain, don't tease me. You are at the core. I am at the periphery. What I know is superficial, but what you know is the essence."

"Haha, don't ask, just manage your mine." "Don't ask, and if you ask, you won't say anything. Wu Lanlan will come in a few days, did you tell you?" "Ah, this...she said it. But she didn't say the exact time." "Just these two days, I'll tell you when I come." Feng Jun added, "Look, look, I'm confused. Why should I tell you?" After Cheng Yiyi cursed, Feng Jun said goodbye and hung up the phone. Since Wu Lanlan arrived in Nanzhou last time, Cheng Yiyi felt inexplicably that some of the beauty that he had held on to for many years in his heart gradually disappeared.Perhaps, in his heart, Wu Lanlan in his twenties will always survive, and it is impossible to accept Wu Lanlan who is now in his forties and looks like a businessman.In the past, he often dreamed of Wu Lanlan in his dreams, she always ran in front and he chased after her.No matter how fast he ran, Wu Lanlan could never catch up.Sometimes when she catches up with her, she jumps even further ahead strangely...

But now, Wu Lanlan never appeared in his dream again.He also seldom thinks about her. He is in the officialdom, he is busy all day long, and it is difficult for people to really calm down and think about something. Zhang Xiaoyu has been in Australia for almost two months, and Cheng Yiyi has gradually adapted to life without Zhang Xiaoyu.He eats out most of the time, and the family has not had a business for a long time.What he feels a headache about is washing clothes, the weather is getting warmer, and the clothes are changed frequently.When he was in the army, what he was most afraid of was doing laundry.If he had any personal interests when he was an official, it was the selfishness of laundry.Most of his clothes were washed by the soldiers. When he came back, there was Zhang Xiaoyu, but now he was alone.Fortunately, he used the simplest method to solve the problem, using a lot of washing powder.Soak it in hot water first, then put it in the washing machine and wait until it dries before coming out.In order to increase the cleanliness of his clothes, he basically changes his shirts every day.Before Zhang Xiaoyu left, he sold him ten shirts, thirty pairs of socks, and even a large bundle of toilet paper. Cheng Yiyi laughed that Zhang Xiaoyu had arranged for him in advance.Zhang Xiaoyu said: "Don't you go ahead? Don't you look like a child!"

Once Zhang Xiaoyu left, Cheng Yilu's concept of time also changed.No matter where I was, I always wanted to go home.Now it is the same at home and away, so there is no rush.Sometimes I was dragged by Lu Husheng and the others to sing.The only constant is that there are always people coming to look for it at night.He was outside, calling to look for him; as soon as he got home, someone came as if he had counted, and then he rang the doorbell.There are also big things to find him, and more small things.According to his opinion, there are some things that don't need to be dealt with by a secretary-general of the municipal party committee like him.But now China is such a fashion.Find someone for everything, it seems that if you don't find someone, nothing can be done.Once you find someone, you have insurance.Since they came to look for him, they had to bring some cigarettes and alcohol, and some even gave him a card directly.At the beginning, he kept refusing and even got angry.But the person who came to look for it seemed to be determined to send the thing away before he could feel at ease. Even though he tried his best to push it away, he finally had to put it down.Cigarettes and alcohol had formed a small pile in the study.In the past, Zhang Xiaoyu was responsible for handling the tobacco and alcohol. Once she left, Cheng Yiyi had no choice but to let it go.The cards are in the drawer, and there is also a small stack.

One night, a few more people came, finished talking, put down their cigarettes and alcohol, and left.Cheng looked at the tobacco and alcohol all the way, not knowing what to do.Just when Zhang Xiaoyu called, Cheng Yiyi told the story and asked what should I do?Zhang Xiaoyu said: This matter is difficult to handle, and it is impossible not to accept it, and it cannot be wasted if it is accepted.No way, let the boss who used to collect our cigarettes and alcohol go get it directly.Cheng Yiyi said that this is not good, Zhang Xiaoyu said that there is any other good way?At this moment, Cheng Yiyi thought of Er Button.Although he and Er Button had only met twice, he could tell that this distant nephew from his hometown was shrewd and kind, and not the kind of villainous person.As soon as he told Zhang Xiaoyu, Zhang Xiaoyu said that this was the only way to go, so let's find him.

As soon as he went to work the next day, Cheng Yiyi found Er Button's phone number and told him when to invite him to Nanzhou. Uncle asked him for something.Er Button was so excited that he could barely speak, and kept saying: I'll go, I'll go.Cheng Yiyi smiled and said, "Come if you don't, there's no rush."I also have something else to do, so you can come to my house at night. Putting down the phone, Cheng Yilu smiled again.On the table was the first draft of the report on the investigation of private enterprises just sent by Ma Hongtao.Cheng flipped through it all the way, there were more than twenty pages, and there were probably ten to twenty thousand words.He also knows that obtaining materials is a hard job. Ma Hongtao's face has become thinner recently, and several research reports have been pressed on the heads of the pens of the Political Research Office. To use their self-deprecating words, they call it "one hundred thousand mountains".The Chinese revolution overthrew three mountains and won the liberation of the Chinese people.However, these one hundred thousand mountains cannot be knocked down year after year.If it is described in terms of physics, it is called "doing useless work".

Cheng Yiyi had just read two pages when Wang Chuanzhu came in. Wang Chuanzhu glanced at the materials on the table: "Oh, there are endless words! I have something to report to you. Some comrades reported that some of our drivers often drive private cars at night and go to some entertainment venues. I I feel that this matter may have a bad influence and damage the image of the municipal party committee. Look, why don't you deal with it properly? Or..." "Is there such a thing? Which driver is it, do you know?" "There is indeed such a thing. I have seen it too, but I thought it was the leader who was using the car, so I didn't ask. As for the driver, it may be Xiao Liu, the driver of Secretary Huaihang."

"Ah." Cheng looked at Wang Chuanzhu all the way, thinking that this matter would not be easy to handle. "Look, do you need to tell Secretary Huai Hang?" "Not for the time being. How about it, I will talk to Xiao Liu when I have time." Wang Chuanzhu said that was also good.In fact, Ye Kai also heard about this matter all the way, but the words were vague, and he didn't ask carefully.Now that someone has reported it, it must be dealt with.The drivers of leading cadres also represent the image of leading cadres to some extent.If the driver is not good, the common people often blame the leaders.However, Cheng Yiyi also knew that the driver of the leading cadre could not move easily.Now that you follow the leading cadres, you become the leading cadres.You have to watch the owner when you hit a dog, and you have to pay more attention to the driver.If the movement is not good, the leading cadres are not satisfied, and things will go wrong.

Cheng Yiyi called Ma Hongtao to come over.Ma Hongtao came over soon, and Cheng Yiyi handed the manuscript to him, saying: "I basically read it, and I think it is good. It probably reflects the meaning of Comrade Huaihang. Comrades from departments and individual counties come to discuss and brainstorm ideas. After the final draft, it will be sent to Secretary Huai Hang.” Ma Hongtao nodded, pretending to be mysterious and said: "I heard that someone has reported Huang Chuan to the province..." Cheng didn't make a sound all the way, and this was the first time he had heard of it.

Ma Hongtao went on to say: "Several senior cadres from the Finance Bureau jointly wrote a letter to Secretary Ye Zhengming in the province. Secretary Ye approved it and forwarded it to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, asking for a serious investigation. If it is true, it must be dealt with seriously." "When did it happen?" Cheng Yiyi asked. "I also just received a call from a classmate in the province. Maybe someone from the province will come soon." "Ah, okay. Don't spread the word. The materials must be seized." Ma Hongtao went out with the materials, Cheng Yiyi stood up and closed the door gently.The province is going to investigate Huangchuan, and this news is not a sign for Cheng Yiyi.Huang Chuan was asked by Ren Huaihang from the Provincial Department of Finance after he arrived in Nanzhou.At that time, Ren Huaihang had three reasons. One was that the director of the Finance Bureau could not be a local person;Of course, there is one more important thing that Ren Huaihang didn't say, that is, Huang Chuan's coming to Nanzhou to serve as the director of the finance bureau strengthened his ability to control finances as the secretary of the municipal party committee. Huang Chuan was very young, and it was the time when he was in high spirits. Usually, Cheng Yiyi didn't get along with Huang Chuan too much.The Bureau of Finance is the cabinet-forming unit of the government, so it stands to reason that he should get closer to the government, especially the mayor and the executive deputy mayor who is in charge of finance.However, in Nanzhou, everyone in the officialdom knew that Huang Chuan and Ren Huaihang were the closest.They often go back to the provincial capital by car, and when Ren Huaihang goes to other places for inspection, Huang Chuan must be on the list.In the government, Xu Shuofeng, who is in charge of finance, belongs to Ren Huaihang. With Huang Chuan, Ren Huaihang basically controls Nanzhou's finances.As the mayor of a city, Wang Shida can't do anything about many financial issues. Veteran cadres came to sue Huang Chuan. I don't know if they were veteran cadres from the Finance Bureau itself or other veteran cadres.Under normal circumstances, veteran cadres refer to some former leaders who have retired, at least at the level of deputy director or above, so they can be regarded as veteran cadres.After retiring, veteran cadres are often not used to many behaviors in society, especially in officialdom, and sometimes even get angry, extremely indignant, and extremely impatient.Although they have left the officialdom, they still inquire about the news of the officialdom, discuss and comment on it.Some veteran cadres even came to the municipal party committee and the municipal government every now and then to report problems and criticize the current situation... Cheng Yiyi often receives such veteran cadres. Veteran cadres are a force that cannot be underestimated.While in office, they themselves were talked about by others.After retiring, their arguments were very powerful and influential.The common people trust them, and they have come all the way from the officialdom, and they know the rules of the officialdom very well.Knowing yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. If they join forces to sue a person, it is not a simple sue, but a cause.Now, Huang Chuan didn't know what had fallen into their hands, and the defendant was brought to the province, which attracted Secretary Ye Zhengming's attention.It is conceivable that the content of the complaint letter must be of great importance, otherwise it is impossible for a provincial party secretary to easily give special instructions to a certain complaint letter. So, what did they tell Huang Chuan?Cheng thought over and over all the way, but couldn't think of a clue. At noon, Cheng went all the way to the Personnel Bureau for dinner.A research team from the Provincial Personnel Department is in Nanzhou to investigate the implementation of the Civil Service Law.The investigation was coming to an end in the afternoon, and Deputy Secretary Chang Zhenxing was originally invited to accompany him for dinner, but Secretary Chang made other arrangements, so Cheng Yiyi had to come forward to accompany him. The role of Secretary-General is very interesting.For example, for dinner, if other secretaries have temporary affairs, the secretary-general will often go out to entertain them instead of them.The various departments don't care about this matter, whether it's the deputy secretary or the secretary-general, in their eyes, they are all leaders.When the leader showed up, he gave the department enough face.The department is very beautiful in the eyes of the superiors.This is one of the reasons why Chinese officials have so many dinners.In fact, being in the game, sometimes Cheng Yiyi felt a little helpless.But helplessness is helplessness, and you still have to come forward. The provincial personnel department led the team by a director named Mo.In the officialdom, one level of seniority crushes people to death. Although Director Mo is from the provincial department, he is only the director after all, one level lower than Cheng Yiyi.Therefore, the focus of the lunch meal is not the research team, but Cheng Yilu.Director Wang Pingyuan of the Personnel Bureau lost no time in introducing Cheng Yilu's glorious military history, and Director Mo was almost overwhelmed with admiration.Of course, Cheng Yilu just smiled modestly.He let Wang Pingyuan say that drinking is not allowed during Chinese food, and if he doesn't talk, the atmosphere will be lost at all. Director Mo's hometown is actually from Nanzhou, but he moved to the provincial capital during his father's generation.He happened to be classmates with Huang Chuan, so of course he asked about Huang Chuan.Director Mo said that a few days ago, Huang Chuan specially invited their research team for a meal. "Huang Chuan can drink better than when he was in the provincial hall." Director Mo asked Cheng Yilu quietly, "I heard that Huang Chuan is going to be the deputy mayor? How fast. When he comes down, he will be the deputy director. Immediately It's going to be the deputy hall." "Ah, ah, this matter... ah, I haven't heard of it." Cheng was vague all the way. "The secretary-general is really...haha. Don't ask." Cheng Yiyi thought to himself that it's not that you don't ask, but that I really don't know very well.Huang Chuan told him before that he wanted to make a move during this change of office.There is no possibility of downward adjustment of the Finance Secretary except upward.Cheng Yiyi naturally understood what Huang Chuan meant.However, there is very little room for a change of term this year. According to the current situation, Huang Chuan has no hope.If the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection really wanted to investigate him, even if they didn't find out the problem, they wouldn't be able to clear up the fact that he was investigated.Moreover, to a certain extent, if Ren Huaihang did not leave when he was re-elected, he would have preferred Huang Chuan to stay in the position of Director of Finance. The meal was finished soon, Cheng Yiyi said goodbye to Director Mo and his party, and asked Ye Kai to take him home.When he was leaving the hotel, he saw Jian Yun coming out.Seeing Cheng Yiyi, Jian Yun blushed, and called out to the Secretary-General mischievously. Cheng Yiyi smiled and asked, "Do you want to eat too?" "A few classmates are here." Jian Yun's voice was clear and sweet, "Ah, among them is the daughter of Deputy Minister Qiao Xiaoyang of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. She and I are still in the same room." "Ah, say hello to her for me then." Cheng Yiyi said with a smile. Jian Yun said of course, she turned around and left.Looking at her back all the way, Jian Yun feels like a swallow in early spring, light and lovely; and like camphor on the street, fresh and pleasant.
