Chapter 21 Chapter 21

The next day Chen Mo called Long Yun and asked him to make an appointment with Secretary Long Xiaoyi.Long Yun said that Secretary Long will report to the province in the next two days, and he has no chance in the city.Are you going to the province too, and I will create an opportunity for you to meet him? Chen Mo said, that's fine, I will go to the provincial capital today. Chen Mo called the Ministry and asked Long Yongshou to send the car to Chuxi.Said, Yongshou, you and Minister Roland work hard at home, I'm going to the province to do something.Long Yongshou smiled and said, don't worry, we will take care of you at home.Just when Chen Mo was about to hang up the phone, Long Yongshou said again, "He has no head and no brains."Minister, I heard that Peng Yimin was also in the city recently.

Chen Mo was taken aback. It seemed that what he had expected was true. After the Wulong River pollution incident, Peng Yimin also couldn't wait.This time I came to Chuxi City, I guess I also came for activities.It's just that Peng Yimin and Cai Peng have a good relationship, so why didn't they come to Cai Peng's place after a few days? Last night Chen Mo casually said that Peng Yimin was following Long Xiaoyi's door.It was just to add a firewall to Peng Yimin at Cai Peng's place, but I didn't expect that it might be true. Ordinarily, it is normal for Peng Yimin to follow Long Xiaoyi's school. In the current system, the leadership is unified, and the secretary is in charge.Of course, the personnel arrangement is mainly decided by the secretary.The problem was that Peng Yimin misread the situation, and left Long Xiaoyi instead of Cai Peng, who was familiar with the way.This cannot but make Cai Peng feel betrayed.After Chen Mo said this last night, Cai Peng's expression turned ugly.No matter how powerful Long Xiaoyi is, he still has to rely on the deputy secretary and the mayor to carry out his work. It is impossible for the two carriages to go their separate ways as soon as he arrives.Long Xiaoyi has not yet fully grasped the situation, and when the foundation is not solid, Long Xiaoyi is only playing the role of a spiritual leader. The following plan is proposed, and Long Xiaoyi is responsible for the drawing.

Immediately, Chen Mo called He Nianshou and told him that he was going to the provincial capital. He Nianshou was very happy and said, Minister Chen, call me when you enter the city, and we will meet you.Chen Mo smiled and said, okay, but I'm a little afraid of drinking now, so I can't beat you.He Nian Shou smiled and said, then drink less and take what you need.Chen Mo said, I mainly want to chat with you about the top ten charming counties this time, and the promotion needs to be strengthened. He Nian Shou seemed a little embarrassed, and said, Minister Chen, if your Longshui County is safe and sound, you can talk about anything.The key is that after the Wulong River pollution incident, it may not be easy for the top ten charming counties.

Chen Mo said, I know this.Let's put it this way, charm is not charm, I dare not ask for extravagance.But precisely because of the Oolong River incident, we have to restore a little bit of influence, so we must strengthen positive reports.Contradictions can be transformed into each other under certain conditions, and bad things can also become good things.The Wulong River pollution incident is a bad thing, but if you look at it from another perspective, isn’t it a good thing for Longshui’s active efforts to report the pollution incident and praise the heroes who emerged from the incident?

He Nianshou laughed and said, "As expected of the Minister of Propaganda, this makes sense, let's work together." Two hours later, the Ministry's car arrived in Chuxi City.Surprisingly, Xiao Liu even brought Shu Fang's mother.Chen Mo couldn't help being a little surprised.The driver Xiao Liu smiled and said, Minister, when I passed through You County, I went to your father-in-law's house to see what they had to bring.The old man said he was concerned about his grandson, so I brought her along.While Chen Mo promised to be good, he was thinking that he was trying his best to follow the leader's door, and the subordinates were also trying their best to follow their own door, and the actions were secretive and accurate, which was beyond his reach.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo guessed, maybe his home in the countryside, people in the ministry have been there many times and he is still kept in the dark. After getting into the car, the air conditioner in Xiao Liu's car was always on, making it cool and pleasant.As soon as he got in the car, Xiao Liu took out an envelope and handed it to Chen Mo, saying, "This is the money Minister Long brought to you. He guessed that you had no money on hand, so he borrowed some from the cashier and asked me to bring it to you."When Chen Mo took the money, he didn't feel a move in his heart. The care and consideration of the subordinates for the superiors can really reach the level of meticulousness.

The next morning, Long Yun called Chen Mo and informed that Secretary Long had arrived.When Chen Mo asked what hotel he was staying in, Long Yun laughed and said that Secretary Long's home was in the provincial capital, and he didn't live in a hotel.Instead, I live in a hotel with the driver, are you coming? Chen Mo thought that if we lived together, his intentions would be exposed.Chen Mo's plan is to occasionally meet in the provincial capital, so the effect will be better.Right now, I won't come here.If you have a chance, tell Secretary Xiaoyi that Longshui County Propaganda Director Chen Mo is your old colleague and is now working in the provincial capital. You want to meet him and see how he responds.

Long Yun smiled and said, I will work hard, just wait patiently for news. But Long Yun never called.During this period, Chen Mo still met with He Nianshou and Ma Ning once, and also invited Fang Zhiyu to have a meal.Chen Mo felt that these friends, as network resources, had to meet frequently, and the more frequent they met, the closer their relationship would be. At noon, when Chen Mo was basically disappointed, Long Yun called.Said that Secretary Long Xiaoyi knew that he was in the provincial capital and invited him to a hotel for dinner.Chen Mo immediately asked Xiao Liu to drive to the hotel, and Long Yun was already waiting at the door.Seeing Chen Mo got out of the car, Long Yun came up to meet him, and said with a smile, are you getting tired of waiting? Chen Mo said with a smile, what's the matter, there is still a chance to talk about the leadership.Thank you brother.

After entering the box, only Long Xiaoyi and the driver Xiao Xiang were in the box.Long Xiaoyi was looking down at a book, Long Yun walked in and said, Secretary Long, Minister Chen is here.Long Xiaoyi raised his head, and Chen Mo hurried up to pay his respects, Secretary Long, hello.Long Xiaoyi stood up, shook hands, and said, Comrade Chen Mo, sit down.I heard from Long Yun that you were here too, so I asked him to invite you to have a meal and make it more lively. When did you come to the provincial capital? Chen Mo replied with a smile, "I have been here for two days. After the Wushui River pollution incident, I feel that I need to guide public opinion."So I came to the provincial capital to find some old friends and report more positive news about Longshui County and Chuxi.

Oh.Long Xiaoyi pondered and said, the Wulong River pollution incident really made us very passive.As the Minister of Propaganda, you are still very sensitive when you want to guide public opinion in a timely manner.How are things going? Chen Mo reported the situation of finding the provincial TV station, newspaper office and several websites.Finally, I said that I used to work in the communication of the Provincial Party Committee, and I have become friends with these media people, and they are very supportive. Long Xiaoyi laughed and said, that's right, I heard from Comrade Zhang Xiao that you are a literati.

Chen Mo laughed embarrassedly, and said, Secretary Long laughed at him. He used to write some novels, but now he stopped writing. Long Xiaoyi said solemnly, I was also a literary youth back then, but I couldn't write anything. Long Yun said on the side, I have read some prose and essays written by Secretary Long, and the writing is really good. Graffiti, what is good or bad.Long Xiaoyi said with a smile, turned his head to Chen Mo's side again, and asked, how is the situation in the county now? Chen Mo said that everyone's thinking is still a bit confused.Lin Zhifeng never showed up, and Secretary Dong was not often in the county either.If no one is in charge of the work, the cadres below will be suspicious. You are still very frank and did not evade the question.Some comrades are not the same, saying that the work in the county is basically not affected. How is this possible? How can there be no pressure after such a big incident? Long Xiaoyi said seriously, facing the problem squarely, this is what a Communist Party member should There is a correct attitude. Chen Mo couldn't help being startled, who is Long Xiaoyi referring to? Suspicion in his heart, but he said in his mouth, you are too good.Longshui county cadres have some doubts in their thoughts, which exist objectively.There are several reasons. The main reason is that after the pollution incident, Comrade Dong Wei was busy dealing with it. The county magistrate Lin Zhifeng was absent, and the county government did not appoint any comrade to take charge of the daily work temporarily.Each unit can only rely on the quality of the unit leaders.Those with high quality can work step by step.Those with a little less quality were let go of the sheep. There is some truth to what you said.Long Xiaoyi said with a smile, suddenly changed his tone, stopped talking about work, and said, Comrade Chen Mo, how is your drinking capacity? I can't drink, and I belong to the category of those who have gallbladder but no capacity for alcohol.Chen Mo said with a smile.However, if you're interested, I'd be more than happy to accompany you for a few drinks.Speaking of which, you have been to Longshui several times, and I haven't properly toasted you yet, so I can't join the team. Long Xiaoyi laughed and said, I am usually strict, and my comrades dare not toast me.Today can be an exception, as long as you don't get drunk. When drinking, Chen Mo consciously brought the topic to philosophy.As soon as he was quoted, Long Xiaoyi really became interested, and asked, what major did Minister Chen study in school? Chen Mo replied that he was majoring in Chinese, and immediately explained how he wanted to be a writer after graduation, and went to the province to work as an editor of a literary journal after he was suspended without pay, how he later became an editor of the Provincial Party Committee Newsletter, and how he followed Zhang Xiao back to Chuxi .Long Xiaoyi said, Comrade Zhang Xiao and you can be said to be meeting each other.Comrade Zhang Xiao briefly explained your matter to me.It's not easy, you are a person with ideals. Chen Mo expressed his gratitude and said, I also considered myself an idealist before.But now, I have a new thinking, the failure of the election, maybe the problem is not all because of the mining accident, but the root cause is still in myself.Failure to adapt to the struggle under complicated circumstances, if you can maneuver a little at that time, may be another result.However, I have no regrets. Long Xiaoyi laughed loudly and said, it is rare to have no complaints or regrets.Comrade Chen Mo, it is not easy. Chen Mo also laughed and said, from a philosophical point of view, if you lose something, you will gain something. Long Xiaoyi smiled and said, do you study philosophy systematically or piecemeal? Chen Mo honestly admitted that at school, he studied Marx's philosophy systematically, but did not study much else.You also know that the philosophy of the Chinese Department is not comprehensive.Later, because of my hobby of writing, I also consciously read some books, Kant's "Critique of Practical Reason", "Critique of Judgment", Feuerbach's "Critique of Hegel's Philosophy", "Principles of Future Philosophy".There are also some works of Hegel, which are just reading, but not intensive reading. Long Xiaoyi said, he has read a lot of books.As a student of Hegel, Feuerbach critically inherited Kant and many of Hegel's philosophical spirits.His materialist philosophy elements laid the foundation for the birth of Marxist philosophy. Chen Mo said that Secretary Long's extensive reading is truly admirable.When the two of them talked about philosophy, they couldn't help feeling like they had met each other and hated being late.After having a full meal, Chen Mo said with a smile, I was honored to listen to Secretary Long’s teachings today, and I really feel enlightened. I didn’t study well, and I showed off in front of you today, so I don’t think I’m talking about it? Long Xiaoyi laughed loudly, and said that it is not necessary to have a clear talk.It's just that you have to talk and do it.Longshui is in troubled times, and you came to the provincial capital to work to restore Longshui's reputation, which in itself is practical work. Because of drinking, although Long Xiaoyi said first not to get too drunk, everyone was still a little dizzy.After dinner, everyone went to the tea bar upstairs to drink tea and rest.The two chatted with great interest, and they couldn't help but talk about philosophy, literature, and ancient Chinese culture.Chen Mo remembered that there was a Qianlong version of "Yuan Liaofan Gangjian" in the Cultural Relics Institute of Longshui County, so he said, Secretary Long, you have read a lot of books.There is a book, I wonder if you have read it? Long Xiaoyi asked with a smile what book it was, and Chen Mo said, "Yuan Liaofan Gangjian".Long Xiaoyi said that the name of this book is still heard, it is said to be a history book.where did you see it Chen Mo said with a smile, when I was an editor of the Provincial Party Committee Newsletter, I liked to visit the second-hand book market.I came across this book once, it was the Qianlong edition of the Qing Dynasty, and the seller asked for 10,000 yuan, which was very valuable at that time.I don't have that much money, and I'm afraid of being bought by others.I just stayed there, called everywhere for help, and finally a friend who was an editor of "Sea Fishing World" sent money to buy the book back. Oh? Long Xiaoyi leaned over and said, you also like collecting? Chen Mo laughed and said, I can't talk about collecting them.The family is thin, and collecting is a thing that costs money. I heard about the book "Yuan Liaofan Gangjian" from my tutor, but I didn't see it in the library.I bought it on a whim at that time, and put it on the bookcase when I got home, but it was not a collection.The book consists of twelve volumes and three volumes.The writing is still a bit slow, and compared with the official history, there is a gap. Long Xiaoyi smiled and said, I have also heard the title of the book.It's just that this Fanjian sounds like a monk's writing. Chen Mo smiled and said, exactly, I also felt this way at the beginning, but later I realized it wasn't.The author Yuan Liaofan, whose real name is Yuan Huang and style name Kunyi, was born in Wujiang County, Jiangsu Province.When he was young, he moved to Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province, and became a Jinshi in the 14th year of Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty.He is the author of "Yuan Liaofan Gangjian" and "Liaofan Four Lessons".Yuan Liaofan believed in Buddhism and was regarded as a lay disciple. He chanted sutras and mantras every day, practiced Zen and meditated, and practiced meditation.No matter how busy the public and private affairs are, the morning and evening classes are never interrupted.You feel that this book is written by a monk, and it is not far from it. Long Xiaoyi became interested and said, I want to read this book after you say that.Someday I have time to go to the library to look for it.Chen Mo said with a smile that the library may not have this book.I have finished reading that part, I will bring it to you when I have time.Books are valuable only if they are read. The two kept talking about studying, but Chen Mo didn't mention anything about his job.It is obviously inappropriate to make such and such requests when meeting for the first time.After talking for a while, Chen Mo left.Long Xiaoyi asked, after finishing the work, do you want to go back tomorrow? Chen Mo said go back.Long Xiaoyi said, let's go back together tomorrow morning, and I will go too.Chen Mo felt happy for a while, and said, that's fine, I will come here to wait for you tomorrow. Back at the hotel, Chen Mo called Gao Lin, director of the County Cultural Relics Bureau.As soon as the call was connected, Gao Lin's voice became a little excited, and said, "It's Minister Chen, are you looking for me?" Chen Mo smiled and said, "Yes, Comrade Gao Lin, have you been busy with work recently?" Gao Lin said, thank you Minister Chen, it's okay.Chen Mo had heard before that Gao Lin's Institute of Cultural Relics was writing "Longshui Cultural Relics Chronicle", so he immediately asked, how is the progress of the cultural relics compiled by your institute? Gao Lin said excitedly, thank you Minister for your concern, the manuscript is almost ready, but there is no money to publish it. Chen Mo laughed and said, the key is the manuscript, with the manuscript, other things can be done slowly.Great, you have done a great thing, "Longshui Cultural Relics Chronicle" is a kind of innovation.How about this, after the manuscript is written, the Ministry will come forward to coordinate the publication funds, the key is to make the writing a high-quality work. Gao Lin was so excited that he couldn't breathe well, and said, we must strive to make the book a high-quality book, thank you minister.Chen Mo just laughed, a director of cultural relics, not even a section chief.The member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee called him personally, and of course he was excited. Chen Mo asked about the situation of the Institute of Cultural Relics, and said with a smile, Director Gao, I remember that there is a copy of "Yuan Liao Fan Gangjian" in the Institute, how about this book, is it considered a cultural relic? Gao Lin, ghost spirit, ghost spirit, understood immediately.The answer was, Minister Chen, "Yuan Liaofan Gangjian" was originally donated by an old man. It can be said to be a cultural relic, because it has a certain value as a cultural relic.It is also possible to say that it is not a cultural relic, after all, there are many books in existence.You like reading, I will send it to you the next day. Chen Mo smiled and said, I have known this book for a long time, but because it is a cultural relic, I dare not speak.Forget it, there is a cultural relics protection system for cultural relics. Gao Lin is also a smart person, and said, strictly speaking, this is not actually a cultural relic.In our institute, this book is not included in the cultural relics.If the minister likes it, I will send it to you. Chen Mo didn't agree, nor did he shirk.After chatting for a while, I hung up the phone. The next day, Chen Mo arrived early at the hotel where Long Yun and the others lived, and had a buffet breakfast with Long Yun.At nine o'clock, Long Xiaoyi called and ordered a car to pick him up at home.Chen Mo said with a smile, I don't know where Secretary Long lives.Xiao Xiang, the driver of the Municipal Party Committee Office, is a well-behaved person who understands Chen Mo's thoughts. He said with a smile, Minister Chen, how about we go to pick up Secretary Long together? After you were transferred, I haven't been with you for a long time.Chen Mo quickly said, "Okay, let's go for a ride together."Long Yun said with a smile, then you go, we will wait in the hotel. Half an hour later, the car arrived at the door of Long Xiaoyi's house. Long Xiaoyi's family lived in a building in Yiwen New Village.Chen Mo asked Xiao Xiang clearly, and secretly wrote it down.Xiao Xiang called Long Xiaoyi and said, Secretary Long, I'm downstairs.Long Xiaoyi said, wait a moment, I will come down soon. When Long Xiaoyi came down, Chen Mo hurriedly got out of the car to meet him.Long Xiaoyi said in astonishment, Minister Chen is also here.Chen Mo said with a smile, it's okay anyway, I'll come pick you up.While getting into the car, Long Xiaoyi said, I won't invite you to the house, let's go directly to Chuxi. When the car arrived at the hotel, Long Yun had already taken all the luggage and came downstairs.Chen Mo got into his own car, and the two cars drove towards Chuxi one after the other.On the way, we had lunch together.Long Xiaoyi didn't speak much this time, and Chen Mo didn't dare to say anything more.I thought to myself, is there something imprudent in myself that made Long Xiaoyi think? When getting back into the car, Long Xiaoyi said, Minister Long, take my car.Chen Mo smiled and got into Long Xiaoyi's car.Long Yun got into Chen Mo's car.Chen Mo thought that Long Xiaoyi would have something to say when he called him into his car, but he didn't.It was just chatting and chatting along the way, and Chen Mo just dealt with it carefully. Chu Xi finally arrived.After getting off the expressway, Chen Mo's car, who was walking in front, was parked on the side of the road and waited.Xiao Xiang also stopped the car.Long Xiaoyi got out of the car and said, Minister Chen, I was supposed to invite you to dinner.But no, let's go back to the county.Chen Mo smiled and said, thank you secretary.I have learned a lot from you these two days, so I will go back to Longshui immediately. Long Xiaoyi held out his hand and shook it, then suddenly smiled and said, Comrade Chen Mo, you are one of the few county leaders who haven't looked for me since I took office. Chen Mo was taken aback, blushed, and said, I dare not disturb the secretary. But Long Xiaoyi laughed loudly, saying, not looking for a leader is also a kind of self-confidence. After bidding farewell to Long Xiaoyi, Chen Mo sat in the car back to Longshui with his eyes closed and rested, but his heart was churning all the time.I really don't know what will be the result of this meeting with Long Xiaoyi who has planned so hard this time. Chen Mo's hunch was right. Peng Yimin did find Long Xiaoyi first.As the deputy secretary of the county party committee, after the Wulong River pollution incident, Peng Yimin keenly felt that his opportunity had come.According to the ranking in the Standing Committee, the deputy secretary of the county party committee ranked fourth, second only to the director of the county people's congress and the county magistrate.After Lin Zhifeng's accident, it was his turn, and it was his turn.As a veteran in officialdom, Peng Yimin knows the importance of activities.It seems a matter of course, if it is inactive, the cooked duck may fly away, which is all too common. After Peng Yimin found Long Xiaoyi, he expressed his thoughts on the Wulong River pollution incident. After cleverly claiming credit and passing the blame, he boldly took the road of self-recommendation.Judging from the effect of the conversation, Peng Yimin felt that Long Xiaoyi admired him.Although Long Xiaoyi didn't express his position clearly, Peng Yimin still felt that if there were no accidents, he would take advantage of the momentum and become the main leader of Longshui County. Peng Yimin made an unforgivable mistake.He didn't look for the mayor Cai Peng who admired him very much first.He was too dogmatic, too convinced of Long Xiaoyi's aggressive style, and miscalculated the situation.He didn't know that Long Xiaoyi's strength was on the surface, but Cai Peng's strength was in his heart.This doomed him to failure.In addition, Chen Mo mercilessly set up a firewall between Cai Peng and him, although it is not strong, but it is enough to make Cai Peng take precautions against him.When Peng Yimin thought he had dealt with Long Xiaoyi and went to Cai Peng's place, he bumped into the big wall head-on. On the second night after Chen Mo rushed to the provincial capital, Peng Yimin went to Cai Peng's house.Cai Peng met him in his study.In the first sentence we met, Cai Peng asked with a smile, Comrade Yimin, have you been in Chuxi for a few days? Peng Yimin was taken aback, not daring to lie, and replied honestly, yes, Mayor Cai. What did you do in the city?Cai Peng still asked with a smile on his face, but the moment of his gaze made Peng Yimin feel awe-inspiring.Peng Yimin smiled and said, do some things over there with the municipal party committee. Oh.Cai Peng let out a long sigh, it looks like it's done? I'll see you when I'm done.Peng Yimin replied. Thank you for remembering me, Comrade Yimin.Cai Peng said in a long voice, did you see Secretary Xiaoyi? Peng Yimin was embarrassed.Cai Peng's words sounded like a kind of concern, but when Peng Yimin heard it, he felt a cold air rising from his back to the top of his head. He said, Mayor Cai... You are very sensitive.Cai Peng ignored him, and leaned back on the rattan chair, completely rambling.Political sensitivity is strong, which is a big advantage.Our cadres must have a high degree of political acumen, so follow Secretary Long well.You are young, capable, and have a bright future. Peng Yimin lowered his head and listened to Cai Peng's rambling talk silently. He couldn't figure it out, how did Cai Peng know about going to Long Xiaoyi's place by himself.Peng Yimin sat on the scalp for half an hour before leaving, and he never dared to take out the generous gift money he kept in his pocket.Peng Yimin knew clearly that Cai Peng had cleaned up the house, and now he could only rely on Long Xiaoyi with all his heart.
