Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen

Zhou Chongzhi, chairman of the Zixu City Federation of Literary and Art Circles, is an old poet. Some of his poems written in the 1980s were once famous, and he was called a veteran of the reflective literature poetry circle.Zhou Chongzhi's poems are well written, but his temperament is quite weird, pedantic and old-fashioned, and he is a bit unreasonable in his coldness.I don't know how I was able to become the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles in the first place, and I have been in it for more than ten years, and my buttocks are very stable.Dongfang Changqing thinks that Zhou Chongzhi’s personality may have something to do with his poems. No matter how you look at it, reflection literature has a relic of the Cultural Revolution. Although it is an anti-Cultural Revolution, it still uses the tone of accusation and criticism. Come and criticize, people's character will inevitably be distorted, becoming narrow-minded and aggressive.The reason why Zhou Chongzhi has been sitting in the chairmanship of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles for a long time, like a tumbler in the political arena, actually has a knack. Chong Zhi's personality is stubborn, and the leaders dare not easily provoke him, and even coax him. These people, if provoked, will stick to you.He is still a poet when he is young, and he has a great reputation. If he swears at you outside, he may not be able to clean it up in half his life.

For such a person, Dongfang Changqing dare not be casual, let alone call directly.Before Dongfang Changqing went to find Zhou Chongzhi, he spent a lot of effort to find out some of Zhou Chongzhi's poems when he was young, and after a few days of familiarity, he called the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles Office. Made an appointment in advance.Mr. Zhou Chongzhi was very happy for such respect. As soon as we met, he took Dongfang Changqing's hand and said: "Director Dongfang, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Cultural Bureau are brothers. Why do you have an appointment? If you have anything to do, just call Just a phone call."

Dongfang Changqing smiled and said: "Chairman Zhou, a veteran poet, with both virtue and art, Changqing came to ask for advice today." Zhou Chongzhi couldn't help being happy, and said: "Director Dongfang also writes poetry?" Dongfang Changqing said : "Occasionally, when there is nothing to do, do a few graffiti, write some ancient poems, for self-entertainment, but the level is too low, I dare not show it to others." Zhou Chongzhi said: "Director Dongfang is too modest. People who are in politics today, How many people still talk about poetry? Speaking of which, I am really envious of the elegant conduct of the ancients, and the inheritance of poems and books. Director Dongfang is already a popular figure in Zixu city circles at a young age, and he can still have such elegance. It's not easy."

Dongfang Changqing just smiled and said: "It's because my level is too low, so I come here to ask you to give me some advice, and please don't hesitate to teach me." Zhou Chongzhi adjusted his glasses, and said with a smile: "I am not modest, I still have some research on ancient style poetry. Director Dongfang has such a taste. We might as well learn from each other and make progress together." Dongfang Changqing took out the ancient style poem he had prepared. This poem deliberately exposed some obvious problems in the confrontation, and some of the texts were filled with white, so that the old master could see the flaws at a glance.Sure enough, after reading it for a while, Zhou Chongzhi pointed out these problems. He first raised the problem of confrontation, and then pointed out that there are too many vernacular words in Dongfang Changqing's poems.Zhou Chongzhi said: "Director Dongfang, your poems have indeed reached a certain level. The lines are strange and bold, inherit the nature, and the artistic conception is more profound. It's just that the poets are elegant, and your poems seem to have a little more vernacular. As the saying goes Slang, of course, can also be included in poetry, such as Wang Wei and Bai Juyi's poems, there are also many rural slang, but it should not be too straightforward."

Dongfang Changqing stood up and said: "Chairman Zhou is a high-level critic. When I wrote this poem, I also felt it, but I couldn't express it. After your comment, the pros and cons are clear and convincing. Please keep writing It's better to modify." Zhou Chongzhi was triumphant, and said: "Poetry is the voice of the heart. It comes from the heart, recites in the mouth, and flows into the pen. Since Director Dongfang can trust the old man, I am willing to do this. It's not that I can be a teacher, but a bosom friend is hard to find." The two of them started talking about poetry, and Dongfang Changqing recited Zhou Chongzhi's poems that he was reading now, and he was full of praise, saying: "I read Chairman Zhou's poems when I was in the first grade of junior high school, and I still read them now." Can recite some. As a veteran poet who reflects on literature after rectifying the chaos, you really have the courage and strength of a fighter."

Zhou Chongzhi became more happy when he heard this, and said: "It turns out that Director Dongfang has been fond of poetry since he was a child, so it's no wonder that his pen is extraordinary. You are right. Poets have the courage of fighters. It has been like this since ancient times. Qu Yuan, Song Yu, Li Bai, Du Fu, Xin Qibing, Mao Zedong, all have a fighting spirit." The more the two talked, the more they got into Hong Kong. Zhou Chongzhi kept moving the bench towards Dongfang Changqing as he talked, and finally it became a knee-to-neck conversation.As Dongfang Changqing said, he deliberately brought the topic to the current situation of poetry, saying: "Mr. Zhou, I feel that the cultural atmosphere in our Zixu City is not strong enough, and poetry is too marginalized in Zixu City. This is not normal."

Zhou Chongzhi became angry and said: "Not only is it not strong enough, but there is no cultural atmosphere anymore. Material desires are rampant, people's hearts are not ancient, and no one pays attention to the enlightening effect of poetry." Dongfang Changqing said anxiously: "Mr. Zhou, we are in the cultural department. We have an obligation and responsibility to revive culture, especially the poetry circle. I think that the Federation of Literary and Art Circles will take the lead, and our Cultural Bureau will support it. Some poetry activities, through activities to activate the poetry scene in Zixu City, what do you think?"

Zhou Chongzhi immediately agreed, saying: "Okay, Director Dongfang, I also have this idea, but it's not easy to ask for funds. Now the cultural department is asking for money, which is more difficult than heaven." Dongfang Changqing said: "As for the funding, let me run it. I have a plan. I don't know if it is feasible. Please refer to it. The secretary of the municipal party committee, Chen Xinzhi, likes ancient poems and has written a lot. I think about it." Our two families organized a seminar for him together..." Before he finished speaking, Zhou Chongzhi laughed and said, "What kind of poem is Chen Xinzhi's poem, doggerel? How can a seminar be held for this kind of poem? Take it out and disgrace Zixu City."

Dongfang Changqing also laughed, and said: "If you want to talk about Secretary Chen's poems, it is indeed difficult for you to catch your old eyes, but we do things for meaning. Didn't Qianlong also like to write poems back then, and poems were not very good. You are an old man who knows the past and the present, and you must know the old saying that what is good in the top is good in the bottom, and the seminar is held for Secretary Chen, in name, for him, but in fact, it is to boost the atmosphere of poetry in our city." Only then did Zhou Chongzhi suddenly realize, and said, "I admire you, Director Dongfang, you really deserve to be a political star. It's really thanks to you that you can figure out this kind of plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao. Well, this matter is feasible, but it's just about the cost." You have to work hard, I don't want to ask those people in the Finance Bureau, the beef face is ugly."

Dongfang Changqing laughed and said: "Teacher Zhou also said to me, I think you are even more scheming, I went to find the money and transferred it to the account of the Federation of Literature and Art. Before Zhang Bao, it’s just that you are old enough to contact professors and scholars, write papers, and edit seminar series.” He said this, but he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty in his heart, thinking that if the old man knew his true Motivation, I am afraid that I am very contemptuous of myself. Zhou Chongzhi agreed wholeheartedly, saying: "I'm here to hesitate. I still know some people in the poetry and critic circles. If I show up with my old face, I'm afraid they won't be able to refuse."

Seeing Zhou Chongzhi's willingness to agree, Dongfang Changqing was overjoyed.After thinking about it, I felt uneasy. This old Nigu is an unrefined tree stump, and I’m afraid that the people he usually associates with can only be a bunch of old people who don’t know how to change. If these people come to tell the truth, Chen Xinzhi's poetry reviews are incomplete, and this good thing is about to turn into a bad thing.Thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, this matter depends on your reputation, but I have a request here, and I hope you will agree to it." Zhou Chongzhi said: "Please tell me." "To tell you the truth, old man, the reason why Changqing proposed to hold such a seminar is also a small personal idea, which is to gain some fame. This matter requires the establishment of an organizing committee. The position of the director of the organizing committee is a false name. Just give it to me." Dongfang Evergreen bluntly asked for it.Zhou Chongzhi didn't know the little Jiujiu in his heart, so he laughed and said: "That's no problem. To be honest, Zhou is not talented, and he has a little reputation in the country, but he doesn't care about it. You still don't care about it. Young man, this name is of no use to me, but it may be of use to you, so you will be the director of the organizing committee." Dongfang Changqing also said: "This seminar is also a good opportunity to learn. I have another request. Let me review all the papers you have collected before submitting them to the conference for reading. Let me learn from the masters. .” Zhou Chongzhi said: "All right, I'm getting old, and I really can't finish reading these things." Dongfang Changqing achieved his goal, and said happily: "In this way, we have agreed, and I will come up with the plan when I go back." As he said that, he was about to leave. Zhou Chongzhi was very excited about poetry, but he refused to let him go , Said: "It's rare to meet a bosom friend today, Director Dongfang, no matter how busy you are with your official duties, you won't be here today. Let's chat for a while, and I will treat you to dinner. Food." Dongfang Changqing had no choice but to continue chatting about poetry with Zhou Chongzhi, and finally Zhou Chongzhi treated guests to dinner before leaving. The plan for Chen Xinzhi's Poetry Symposium was soon finalized. The theme was "Zixu Feelings". The theme was set by Dongfang Changqing. It is between poetry and rhetoric, if art is really out of the question, I am afraid Chen Xinzhi himself knows this. Using the word "feeling" has a wider connotation, and it is not limited to the discussion of poetry art. There is a plan, but the funds have not been implemented.Dongfang Changqing decided to report to Chen Xinzhi once.Chen Xinzhi was very satisfied with the word "feeling", and said: "Changqing, we old people do have a deep affection for Zixu City. Ai Qing's poem wrote: "Why do I often have tears in my eyes, because I love this land deeply." It is really a portrayal of the soul." Dongfang Changqing said with a smile: "Secretary Chen, we The main purpose of holding such an event is to use this seminar to publicize your contribution to the economic and social construction of Zixu City, and use this as an opportunity to inspire the people's passion for loving their hometown and building their hometown." Chen Xinzhi smiled more kindly, and said: "Yes, with the reform and opening up, more people have gone out. The masses have seen the big world outside. Some people feel that their hometown is too backward and they don't love their hometown anymore. It is very necessary to carry out the education of loving hometown and building hometown. How do you plan to carry out this activity?" Dongfang Evergreen was already prepared and said: "This is exactly what I want to report and ask for instructions. We are going to do several parts for this seminar. The first is to organize experts and scholars to visit the scenic spots and urban construction of our city The demonstration project not only allows them to see our beautiful natural and cultural scenery, but also allows them to experience the rapid economic and social development of our city over the years. This is also an opportunity for publicity; You first make a speech on the writing of the collection of poems, and then the experts and scholars will read the papers, have a discussion, and send a briefing after the meeting to organize and publish the speeches of these experts and scholars. At the meeting, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles will also issue you the honorary certificate of the People’s Poet The third is the follow-up work, which is more complicated. I thought about it, and there are several aspects to be done. One aspect is to contact various newspapers and magazines to publish these papers publicly. The second is the collection of seminar papers. It is planned to print 10,000 volumes for the first time, which will be subscribed and distributed in our city. At present, experts and scholars have been invited, and a lot of papers have been written. I am reading it. The main problem is funding. We have roughly made a budget , the seminar requires about 250,000 yuan, and I have also brought the report on the application for appropriation of funds.” Chen Xinzhi looked at Dongfang Changqing with a smile all the time, and when he saw him hand over the report, he said, "Don't give me the report. I don't care about the money. It's better to pass it to Executive Deputy Mayor Zhang Xiaoming." Seeing Dongfang Changqing, he put away the report and said: "Secretary, I have read through your poetry collection, and it has benefited a lot. To tell you the truth, I also like to write some ancient poems, but I am not very interested in modern poems." Interesting, I always feel that modern poetry does not have the artistic conception of ancient style poetry, like plain water." Chen Xinzhi said, "Oh, and looked at Dongfang Changqing in surprise: "You still write ancient style poetry?" Dongfang Changqing became embarrassed and said: "It's just graffiti, it won't catch your eye." Chen Xinzhi became interested and said: "That's right, young people nowadays like ancient style poetry, and there are not many people who understand ancient style poetry. I have always advocated that leading cadres should be multi-skilled and have research on our country's traditional culture. Poetry in particular is the essence of Chinese culture. Beginning with the Book of Songs, Tang Poetry and Song Ci, Han Fu and Yuan Qu, have been passed down for thousands of years, and they are not just passed down in thin air. There is something wrong with the quality of the current cadres. Detestable. This is the result of lack of cultural literacy. The ancients said that there is a poem and book in the stomach, and that if you don’t read for three days, you will look ugly. These words are not bad.” Dongfang Changqing said with admiration: "You summed it up too correctly, secretary, your words made me feel enlightened. It seems that we usually say that we are busy and have no time to study, so we find a place for ourselves. What's the reason for being lazy?" Chen Xinzhi was very happy and said: "Comrade Changqing, it seems that you are not the wrong person to be the director of the cultural bureau. Not only do you understand culture, but you are also very savvy. You are a talent that can be created. It is rare and rare." Dongfang Changqing Said: "Secretary, you are overrated. Changqing is ignorant in his thirties. He only regrets that there is no mentor to guide him. After all, it is difficult to become a master. Changqing boldly makes a request to you. Please be my mentor. I am studying and working. And in life, beat me from time to time, so that I can make some progress." Chen Xinzhi laughed and said: "In ancient times, literati and inkmen had to find a teacher for themselves. This is actually a manifestation of our Chinese nation's modesty and eagerness to learn. Speaking of it, my ambition since childhood was not to be an official, but to be an official. As a university professor, it is a pleasure to teach the world's talents and plant peaches and plums all over the world. Unexpectedly, by accident, he entered the political circle, and this heart has never been extinguished. Changqing, since you like ancient poetry, in the future You might as well come to me often, if you don’t dare to be a mentor, you can still learn from each other.” Speaking of which, the relationship between the two suddenly seemed to be much closer. At present, Dongfang Changqing made some brief reports on the situation of the reform of the cultural system in the Northeast and the plan for the reform of the cultural system in Zixu City, saying: " Secretary Chen, the difficulty of the reform of the cultural system is the problem of getting rid of the old system, but in the final analysis, it is the problem of cultural industrialization. We plan to use the Chunlei Cinema in Furong District in the city center as a pilot to carry out land replacement and build a At the same time, integrate the city's cultural resources, establish a performing arts company, and use the grand theater as a carrier to implement corporate operations. We have already come up with the plan and reported it to Deputy Mayor Lin Xuemin and Deputy Secretary Jiang Shuichang for review. I would like to invite the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee to listen to a special report from our bureau on the reform of the cultural system in order to push forward this work.” Chen Xinzhi listened carefully, and said: "Comrade Shuichang has already mentioned this to me. We are a province-wide pilot program for cultural system reform. If we do it well, we can't mess it up. What is the standard for doing it well? I think it is One, is to produce high-quality products, talents, and benefits. The Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee listened to the report on the reform of the cultural system. I will connect with Mayor Fang Renxin and Secretary Shuichang to see when it will open. In short, I support it.” After talking about work, it was already off-duty time. Chen Xinzhi's phone rang suddenly. Chen Xinzhi waved his hand to Dongfang Evergreen, motioned him not to speak, and answered the phone. The phone was very loud and said: "Secretary Chen, Mangzi clamored for a treat, saying he wanted to report on financial work, and I promised him, how about having a meal with the God of Wealth?" Dongfang Changqing heard that the person calling Chen Xinzhi was Zhang Xiaoming, the executive deputy mayor.Zhang Xiaoming was selected by one of Chen Xinzhi. More than ten years ago, when Chen Xinzhi was the secretary of the county party committee in a county below Zixu City, Zhang Xiaoming was the director of the county party committee office. He became the county magistrate, and later served as the secretary of the county party committee.Chen Xinzhi became the mayor, and Zhang Xiaoming became the director of the municipal government office.This step by step shows that the two have a good personal relationship, so it is more casual for Zhang Xiaoming to call Chen Xinzhi in private. Hearing what Zhang Xiaoming said, Chen Xinzhi laughed and said, "The food is not good for a mangzi, and you have to pay for it." On the phone, Zhang Xiaoming laughed and said, "Didn't you want to take advantage of the opportunity to repair the office building to make money for the cadres and workers of the unit?" A small benefit, I think I can just approve the construction report of his building, anyway, they mobilize cadres and workers to raise funds." Chen Xinzhi said with a joking smile: "Mangzi, the director of finance, will not You are also a financial officer, and you are so good at dialing the abacus beads? You want to bribe us after a meal, so don't care about him, let's eat him first and then talk." Putting down the phone, Chen Xinzhi smiled and said to Dongfang Changqing: "Comrade Changqing, wait for the director of the Finance Bureau to treat you to dinner. Deputy Mayor Zhang will also go, so you can go too." Dongfang Changqing said: "I'm afraid I won't be good. The leaders are talking about things. What does it matter if I'm there?" Chen Xinzhi just laughed and said, "Isn't the leader afraid of being heard by others? Isn't there a popular saying now, what is it called to enhance transparency, and there is nothing to keep a meal secret." Dongfang Changqing thought about the funding report, and thought that he happened to come across one, so that it would not be easy to find one by one when he had time.Executive Deputy Mayor Zhang Xiaoming and Financial Bureau Director Zheng Mangzi are both relatively strong figures in their actions, with flamboyant personalities and a bit of officialdom pride. Few of them look good on the unpopular bureau chiefs who ask them for money.So he said, "Okay, I'll block the wine for you." As Chen Xinzhi came out of the municipal party committee compound, Dongfang Changqing felt many eyes gathered on him, some were surprised, some were suspicious, some were envious, and some had complex meanings that could not be explained clearly. Dongfang Changqing Qing himself felt a little smug.Dongfang Changqing secretly scolded himself for being superficial, but he thought in his heart that the word power is invisible, but it has such a powerful shocking power. What will it be like? Chen Xinzhi's car drove over. Chen Xinzhi turned around and asked Dongfang Changqing if he had brought the car. Dongfang Changqing's car was actually in the distance, but he replied: "After the driver brought me here, the bureau will use Car, drive back." Chen Xinzhi said kindly: "Take my car, let's go together." Dongfang Changqing ran over to open the car door for Chen Xinzhi, and protected the top of the car door with his left hand, waiting for Chen Xinzhi to sit down. Only then did she gently close the car door for him, and got into the car herself. After a while, the car arrived at the Shenzhou Hotel. Zhang Xiaoming and Zheng Mangzi were already waiting outside the gate. As soon as Chen Xinzhi's car stopped, Zheng Mangzi ran over and opened the car door for Chen Xinzhi. , Said: "Secretary Chen, I am eager to see through." Chen Xinzhi got out of the car unhurriedly, shook Zheng Mangzi's long outstretched hand, and said, "Your Zheng Mangzi treats you, I have to come. Just one thing, I'm afraid of your wine." Zheng Mangzi quickly said: "I don't drink this time, I don't drink this time. In fact, you are a big drinker, but you drink too much." Chen Xinzhi laughed and said: "It seems that you are always playing tricks when you drink, and you are always bullying me. Poor eyesight?" Zheng Mangzi laughed and said, "Secretary Chen, you are a big man, how dare we compete with you for drinking." As he spoke, seeing Dongfang Changqing get off the car, he was stunned for a moment, and reached out to shake it , Said: "Director Dongfang, long time no see." Dongfang Changqing said: "Director Zheng, I will come to have a meal with you today." Zheng Mangzi said: "Welcome, welcome, my meal is all It's Secretary Chen's fan, he's the head of Zixu City." When Dongfang Changqing heard this, he couldn't help admiring Zheng Mangzi's wit, thinking that this man was so smooth in speaking, and he flattered Chen Xinzhi without showing any signs, such a practice might not be accomplished in a day.When Chen Xinzhi saw it, he pointed at Zheng Mangzi with a smile and said, "The more you talk, the more outrageous it is, why is it all my food?" Parents and officers, we are working for you, and of course we also eat you.” Chen Xinzhi laughed even more, and said: “Comrade Mangzi, today I called Director Dongfang to deal with you, so I have to drink today ah." Zhang Xiaoming also came over, shook hands with Chen Xinzhi, and said: "Secretary Chen, I was kidnapped by a mangzi. If there is no other way, I will bring you along." Chen Xinzhi said with a smile: "He dares! How bold, Is he the one who can kidnap the executive deputy mayor?" Seeing that their words were very affectionate, Dongfang Changqing couldn't help but feel left out, but couldn't show it, so he had to bite the bullet and go forward to say hello to Zhang Xiaoming: "Zhang Xiaoming Hello Mayor!" Only then did Zhang Xiaoming turn his face and said, "Director Dongfang is here too?" Chen Xinzhi smiled and said, "The bodyguards I invited." Dongfang Changqing laughed and didn't answer.Immediately following Chen Xinzhi, Zhang Xiaoming and Zheng Mangzi entered the hotel, and entered the box under the guidance of the waiter. As soon as they sat down, the waiter brought a hot and humid towel, wiped it, and the food began to be served.Chen Xinzhi said with a smile: "Sure enough, I'm here to eat, so neat." Zheng Mangzi said with a smile: "I specially invited Secretary Chen and Mayor Zhang to have a meal. How dare I hold a grand banquet?" Everyone laughed.Zhang Xiaoming interjected with a smile from the side: "I'm talking about Zheng Mangzi, you can't escape Secretary Chen's magic mirror, tell me, what's going on with your dormitory building of the Finance Bureau?" Zheng Mangzi smiled and said: "Mayor Zhang, when did you hear that the Finance Bureau is going to build a dormitory building? Public housing reform has been going on for many years. I dare not touch this high-tension line. We are going to build a financial training center The building, the project is being reported to the province. However, our Finance Bureau has a lot of people, and the cadres and workers all have an idea. They feel that it is a waste to repair only six or seven floors of such a large piece of land. Everyone wants to raise funds by themselves to add a few more floors to the top. , This is also a matter of public and private interests.” Chen Xinzhi just laughed, pointed at Zheng Mangzi with a fat finger and said, "Let's pretend to be self-serving, you think Zheng Mangzi is the only one who is smart in the world." Zheng Mangzi quickly apologized with a smile: "Secretary Chen is wise, I can't hide anything from you old man." Chen Xinzhi laughed and said: "Although there is a bit of suspicion of sham public welfare, it seems to be reasonable. Let's do it, you can work around it, and you can fix it after repairing it. It's just that the personal fundraising part must be done well. It's easy." Dongfang Changqing silently watched Zheng Mangzi's performance, and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion, thinking that it was so easy to watch other people do things, and it seemed effortless to get things done while talking and laughing.In fact, the so-called unit cadres and workers personally raise funds to build houses, and individuals do have to pay part of it, and even the real estate part has to be fully borne by individuals, but the land price, elevators, and all ancillary facilities are paid for by the project. Fund-raising housing is two or three thousand yuan cheaper per square meter than the market. At that moment, Chen Xinzhi said again: "I knew that you, Zheng Mangzi, have no good banquets." Then, he pointed to Dongfang Changqing and said, "There is also Director Dongfang, you guys, you all set me on fire. It's on the grill." Zhang Xiaoming and Zheng Mangzi stared at Dongfang Changqing with a smile. Dongfang Changqing realized it, so he smirked and said to Zhang Xiaoming: "Mayor Zhang, I have been criticized by the leader again." He took out a report asking for money from his bag and handed it to Zhang Xiaoming, while pretending to be wronged, he said, "Actually, I also want to boost the cultural atmosphere of our Zixu City, so please understand and understand." Zhang Xiaoming started the report suspiciously, looked at it, laughed, and said: "Secretary Chen, you have wrongly blamed Director Dongfang. How can you be roasted on fire? Director Dongfang has his own considerations. The cultural atmosphere needs to be boosted. Besides, I have read a lot of your poems, all of which praise the beautiful natural environment of our city and the reform achievements of our city. His crooked poems are much better." Then he said to Dongfang Changqing: "Director Dongfang, I'm afraid your budget is a little too stingy, 250,000 yuan, what grade can this seminar offer?" When Dongfang Changqing heard it, he was overjoyed and said: "Mayor Zhang is right in his criticism. We are not open-minded enough, and we were a bit conservative when drawing up the budget. I asked the bureau to make a new one and send it right away." Chen Xinzhi smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and said to Zheng Mangzi: "It's no wonder Comrade Changqing, Qingshui Yamen, a cultural unit, usually lives a tight life, how can you open it up, you should support him more in the future. Cultural work cannot be ignored, economic work accounts for half of the sky, and cultural work also accounts for half of the sky.” Zheng Mangzi laughed and said, "Director Dongfang got Shangfang's sword today." Dongfang Changqing smiled and said: "This is not my complaint. Secretary Chen knows everything." Then, he left the box, hid aside and called Wang Xiaomao, asking him to file another report of 100,000 yuan. Immediately take a taxi to the Shenzhou Hotel.After making the phone call and returning to the box, the waiter has already poured the wine.Everyone started to drink, and after Yizhuang Yixie's conversation just now, the atmosphere was already very harmonious. Dongfang Changqing was happy, but he didn't dare to get too drunk, and hoped that Wang Xiaomao would send the report quickly. More than half an hour later, Wang Xiaomao delivered the report, and Dongfang Changqing handed both reports to Zhang Xiaoming. After Zhang Xiaoming took it, Dongfang Changqing immediately pulled out the fountain pen, opened the cap and handed it over.Zhang Xiaoming didn't even read it, put the report on the dining table and signed it in a fluttering manner, and didn't return it to Dongfang Changqing, but directly gave it to Zheng Mangzi, Zheng Mangzi didn't refuse, took the pen and signed it, thirty-five Ten thousand, not a single point less.After the report was signed, Dongfang Changqing let Wang Xiaomao take it away, and then he drank with confidence. In the end, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, but he still understood in his heart that 350,000 yuan was given to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. You can drop a hundred thousand.Even with the 250,000 yuan from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, there will be a lot of surplus for a poetry seminar, and the Cultural Bureau can take some from the middle. Chen Xinzhi's seminar on poetry works was held as scheduled, and it was very successful. As Dongfang Changqing expected, among the poets, critics and professors invited by Zhou Chongzhi, there were indeed many old-fashioned characters who did not know how to adapt.After reading those commentary articles, Dongfang Changqing couldn't help feeling afraid. Some old men with aloof personality talked about Chen Xinzhi's poems as worthless, and tried their best to ridicule and sarcasm.Dongfang Changqing thought, thanks to his anticipation and preparation, he stipulated that every paper must be reviewed by himself, the director of the organizing committee, otherwise, I am afraid that good things will really turn into bad things.There are also some people who actually express some disdain under the seemingly admirable writing style.For those who were extremely mocking, Dongfang Changqing simply didn't want them to participate.For the latter, Dongfang Changqing organized several writers to revise the article, turning the fake praise into a real one.On the issue of choosing a spokesperson, Dongfang Evergreen even used their brains, screened and screened again, and met with those who were going to speak in person, did a good job of ideological work, and promised high remuneration, so as not to let these people come to the stage after a whim He talked nonsense and said something that made Chen Xinzhi unhappy.Dongfang Changqing repeatedly confessed to the staff that no one who might talk nonsense on the stage is allowed to appear. The seminar lasted for two days, and the meeting place was at the Shenzhou Hotel, which showed the high level.The agenda on the first day was to organize the participants to visit the mountains and rivers of Zixu City. They used two Toyota mid-speed cars to drive everyone around. Secretary Chen Xinzhi did not participate.In the evening, Secretary Chen Xinzhi took the members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee at home to the hotel to visit the experts and professors attending the meeting one by one. Chen Xinzhi shook hands with everyone and expressed his thanks to all the experts and scholars.At the seminar on the second day, Chen Xinzhi made a speech, introducing his history of poetry creation over the years. The speech materials were written by the pen of the Propaganda Department. According to the instructions of Dongfang Changqing, the speech materials focused on In the reform and opening up and economic construction of the city over the years, it focuses on expressing Chen Xinzhi's love for his hometown and his pride in building his hometown. The writing is very emotional and moving.Chen Xinzhi read it very emotionally and won warm applause.Dongfang Changqing thought, it seems that Chen Xinzhi is very smart and knows that his poems are not very good, so he invested in his emotions and covered up the other side.

Chen Xinzhi smiled, not talking about wine, but said: "Changqing, your culture I have read the plan for system reform, and it is not bad, it is highly operable, and you presided over the formulation of it, so it shows that you are also very capable." Dongfang Changqing said modestly: "I presided over it, but the plan was formulated by everyone. Changqing dare not be greedy for the achievements of the sky."
