Chapter 26 Chapter Twenty Six
After the project of the Southern Grand Theater was completed, a leading group was established in the city. The deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor Fang Renxin personally served as the leader of the leading group.The leaders of relevant departments such as Dongfang Evergreen and the Municipal Construction Bureau are members of the leading group, and Dongfang Evergreen is the director of the office.After the team is set up, the next step is the design of the project and the bidding. Of course, all of these are handled by the Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting.The contact number on the bidding announcement is also the office number of Oriental Evergreen and the Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting.
When the bidding entered a critical stage, Dongfang Evergreen received a strange phone call, and the other party said in a very enthusiastic tone: "Director Dongfang, do you remember me? We met before." Dongfang Evergreen thought for a while , I couldn’t figure out who the other party was, so I told the truth: “I’m sorry, I really forgot, who are you?” We will meet again. However, it’s normal if you don’t remember me, after all, we’ve only met once.” Seeing that Dongfang Changqing didn’t answer for a long time, the other party said: “I’m Yiquan, remember, you’ve been to my house , the old man asked me to accompany you." Dongfang Changqing woke up with a jolt, and said, "Brother Yiquan, I'm sorry, I'm really not familiar with your phone number, and your voice has changed a bit on the phone , I didn't hear it for a while."
Zhou Yiquan laughed at the other end, and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, hehe. Does Director Dongfang have time? I'm in Room 802, Building E, New Oriental Hotel. If you have time, come over, brothers?"
Dongfang Changqing felt a little displeased, thinking that Zhou Yiquan was too rude this week, and it was just taking advantage of the old man's influence that this was the only tone of acquaintance.Dongfang Changqing was not interested in dudes at first, but because of Zhou Yiquan's tone, he felt some resistance in his heart, and immediately said: "It's not a coincidence today, brother Yiquan, is going to have a meeting, how about it, I will call when I have time." Your phone."
Zhou Yiquan didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait for you, brother."
With Zhou Yiquan's phone call, Dongfang Changqing was restless all afternoon. Maybe it was because he had been in the officialdom for a long time. Dongfang Changqing had the habit of thinking about everyone, and once he thought about it, he felt that there was something wrong.Zhou Yiquan didn't know him before, so he never left a phone number before, so why would he suddenly want to call himself?Thinking about it, Dongfang Changqing somewhat understood that Zhou Yiquan probably came here for the construction of the Grand Theater.
However, as Zhou Yiquan, who is used to the world, he should be a smart person. He should know that a mere director of the cultural and radio bureau has no power to make decisions on a project with a total investment of more than 200 million yuan. So why did he come to him?Dongfang Changqing was a little confused.
Dongfang Changqing thought about it for a while, and then stopped thinking about it. There are some things, as the song sings, "some things you never have to ask."Besides, no matter what, Zhou Yiquan is the son of Governor Zhou Chunqing after all, he still has to buy this face, but he can't go there in a hurry. If you praise his stinky feet, the status will be unequal.
Dongfang Evergreen stayed in the local office for two hours looking for something to do, and when it was almost time to get off work, he called Zhou Yiquan and said, "Brother Yiquan, I'm sorry, this meeting is really a lazy woman's foot wrap. Long and smelly. Are you in a hurry? I'll be right there."
Zhou Yiquan was not in a hurry at all, and said calmly, "It's okay, I just fell asleep. Brother Dongfang, come, I'll wait for you, let's have a drink later."
Dongfang Changqing went downstairs to pick up the car, and drove slowly to the New Oriental Hotel.Thinking about how to deal with Zhou Yiquan in my heart, half an hour later, the car arrived at the New Oriental Hotel, Dongfang Changqing parked the car, and went directly into the elevator. When I arrived at Room 802, I pressed the doorbell, and there were footsteps on the door. It opened silently, and Zhou Yiquan opened the door in his pajamas. Seeing Dongfang Changqing, he smiled and held out his hand, saying, "Brother Dongfang, you have worked hard." Dongfang Changqing said, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhou, for keeping you waiting "The moment the two entered the room, Dongfang Changqing was surprised to find that there was a young girl in the room who had just put on her clothes and was arranging her hair.Dongfang Changqing felt a strong hormonal smell in the room, and frowned involuntarily.The woman put away the small mirror, smiled shamelessly at Dongfang Changqing, blew a kiss to Zhou Yiquan, and walked away.
Dongfang Changqing was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help laughing bitterly, this Zhou Yiquan is really a dou who can't support the wall.It's a pity that Bai Xue followed such a person back then.Zhou Yiquan sent the woman out, turned around, smiled at Dongfang Changqing, and said: "Young brother is reckless, I have disrespected you, please forgive me." Also, brother Yiquan is suave and elegant, and he is free and easy in the world, which is admirable."
Zhou Yiquan said: "Little brother, go wash up, you can't see each other naked. Brother Dongfang, please wait a moment." After speaking, he took his clothes and went into the bathroom, and then the sound of water splashed.Seeing that he was so arrogant, Dongfang Changqing couldn't help venting his anger, endured and endured, finally suppressed himself, pulled back the thick curtains, opened the glass window, and sat on the sofa next to the window to hold a stick. smoking.Dongfang Changqing thinks that maybe he has been in the CPPCC for a long time, and he lost his temper. In addition, he has been with the wise master for many years, and he has also learned a little bit of breathing. up.If it was placed a few years ago, I'm afraid that I would have already walked away.
After a while, Zhou Yiquan came out, well dressed, wiped his hair as he walked, and smiled at Dongfang Changqing: "Actually, I have been in the city for two days. I have been with Chen Xinzhi and others for the past few days, and I just hit you today." Brother Dongfang, come to my house, the old man has a very good impression of you, and asked me to learn from you."
Dongfang Changqing smiled and said: "Brother Yi Quan was just joking. Brother Yi Quan came from a famous family and is suave. I admire your demeanor very much. Governor Zhou, how is he?"
"He is in good health. As long as the old man has meetings, documents to review, and TV cameras, he will be full of energy." Zhou Yiquan smiled and replied teasingly. "After a lifetime of revolution, I haven't gained any benefits, but I have such a false name. I don't know what the old man thinks."
Dongfang Changqing just laughed and said: "Governor Zhou is in a high position without losing his true colors. He is admirable. I was honored to be received by his old man and listen to his teachings. Admired, unforgettable."
Zhou Yiquan also laughed, and said: "If you want to say that you are knowledgeable, this is still true. The old man's demeanor is not necessarily the case. The old man is really kind and amiable to the outside world, but he is not like that to me. It is a typical surrender to the outside world and suppression on the inside. The Qing government is the same."
Dongfang Changqing couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he laughed and said, "Brother Yiquan, you are really humorous."
The two talked for a while, but Zhou Yiquan was just rambling, and didn't mention the project, and Dongfang Changqing didn't bother to mention it, knowing that Zhou Yiquan wouldn't last long.Sure enough, Zhou Yiquan then began to bring the topic to the direction of engineering, saying: "The old man is very impressed with you, Brother Dongfang, he said that you have a clear and creative thinking on the reform of the cultural system, and also said that you have a bright future in cultivation , I want me to learn from you humbly. The old man is like this, he always likes to compare me with others, and thinks I am not up to date. "
Dongfang Changqing just smiled and said: "The old man has high hopes for you, brother Yiquan. I really envy you. Having a knowledgeable father is equivalent to having a good mentor."
Zhou Yiquan smiled and said: "You mentioned your mentor, and I just remembered that the old man has wanted to be a teacher all his life. He is the executive vice governor, and he often talks about how he used to be a professor at a university. Teaching is the greatest happiness in life. Not to mention, a few years ago, his original university actually awarded him a letter of appointment, hiring him as a doctoral supervisor, which made the old man very happy. It is to use the power in his hands as the executive deputy governor to fight for more financial allocations for the school."
"Brother Yiquan may not know this. Most people with high moral character do not pay attention to official titles, but are willing to write books and talk about teaching and educating people. Governor Zhou is obsessed with teaching and educating people, which is the embodiment of traditional Confucianism in our country Well, it’s a pity that I came from a humble background. When I was in college, I was supposed to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but because my family was poor, I had to quit. From this point of view, Governor Zhou and I are completely in agreement.”
Zhou Yiquan said with a smile: "Brother Dongfang is right. The old man also wanted to train me to be a well-educated person. I still remember that when I was very young, he asked me to recite ancient poems. It's just that I am not born to read. , the left ear went in and the right ear came out, and then at least he got an ordinary university graduate, which made the old man so angry. It’s funny to say that the old man’s professor complex is so obsessed. After being hired as a professor a few years ago, he also entrusted The school recruited graduate students for him, and said that he would lead the graduate students himself, but in the end, although there were many people who applied for the exam, the old man didn't choose any of them."
Dongfang Changqing lamented: "It's a pity, but Governor Zhou must have his own considerations. The so-called outstanding talents in the world are actually hard to come by. Now that the university admission rate has increased, the source of students is certainly not a problem, but among these students, those who study hard are the ones who die. There are a lot of memorized ones, but not many who are really talented and interested in history, so it is better to leave the quota empty than to recruit some graduate students who are studying dead books or just looking for chapters and excerpts.”
Zhou Yiquan stood up, refilled his teacup, and asked Dongfang Changqing if he wanted more water, Dongfang Changqing waved his hand.Zhou Yiquan returned to the table with tea and sat down, said with a smile: "Brother Dongfang, I suddenly made a discovery."
Dongfang Changqing asked: "What discovery?"
"You and my father are very similar in personality, hobbies and opinions. No wonder the old man always talks about you when he sees you."
Dongfang Evergreen laughed and said: "Brother Yiquan, please make fun of me. I, Dongfang Evergreen, can be compared to Governor Zhou."
Zhou Yiquan said: "It's true. Take the time you went to my house as an example. If you and your father weren't congenial, it would not be easy to get that letter of commitment. Even if you want to get it, the supporting funds may not be issued. You go away Finally, do you know what the old man said? The old man said, this Dongfang Changqing is talented, he is a person who does business, and has a future in training. Such a person needs to be supported. I am jealous."
Zhou Yiquan's expression was half-truth and half-false, Dongfang Changqing listened, and couldn't judge whether what he said was true for a moment, and said gratefully: "Thank you Governor Zhou, Yiquan, you must report to Governor Zhou on my behalf when you go back. Just ask me." Zhou Yiquan said with a smile: "I won't say that, you can tell him yourself, haha. He is concerned about your grand theater project, you can go to his home to find him at any time."
Dongfang Changqing said: "Governor Zhou is too busy with official duties, why should I bother him so often?"
Zhou Yiquan looked at Dongfang Changqing with a smile, and suddenly said mysteriously: "Brother Dongfang, I have an idea, you have a graduate student complex, you might as well go to my dad's graduate school, the old man likes you so much, You go for the test, I guess there is no problem."
Dongfang Changqing's heart jumped suddenly, but on the surface he said calmly, "Thank you, brother Yiquan, for your advice. I really think about it. It's just that I'm naturally dull, so I'm afraid I won't pass the exam. Besides, where do I have any?" Do you have free time to read?" Zhou Yiquan smiled and said, "My brother, it seems that it is too roundabout. Today's leading cadres take the postgraduate entrance examination, how many of them are admitted, and how many have the real ability of postgraduate? It's just You are so talented, and the old man likes you so much, why don’t you give it a try, if you succeed, it will not only fulfill your own graduate dream, but also my father’s professor complex, and we would like to thank you.”
At this point, Dongfang Changqing couldn't be more hypocritical, and said: "Since Brother Quan said so, I would like to give it a try, but Governor Zhou, I hope that brother will support me a little bit. "Zhou Yiquan nodded and said: "It's okay, brother, if you have time, let's talk to my old man about this matter again."
Seeing that the fire is coming, Zhou Yiquan said with a smile: "Brother Dongfang, Yiquan came to the city today, and I want to ask you for help. I wonder if the old man is willing to help the little brother?"
Dongfang Changqing listened, but kept silent, looked at Zhou Yiquan with a smile, and watched what he had to say.Zhou Yiquan saw that he didn't answer, so he continued: "I'm not talented, I know that I can't get ahead in the political world, so I came out a few years ago to set up my own entity, which means I can make a living. These years, our company's real estate The development is very good and there is strength. This time your Southern Grand Theater project is bidding, and my younger brother has already signed up. This is your site, brother. I have to pay a visit to the pier first. I can’t even understand the rules, right? ?”
Dongfang Changqing smiled and said, "Welcome, brother Yiquan cares about the construction of our Southern Grand Theater, which is touching. To be honest, I really didn't expect you to be a successful entrepreneur."
Zhou Yiquan laughed and said: "What is success? It's just a few small money to spend. Brother, you can support it when the time comes, let the brother win this contract, and everyone can save money if they have money."
Dongfang Changqing smiled again, Zhou Yiquan spoke so relaxedly, but he did not expect that a contract of more than two billion yuan, in the eyes of Dongfang Changqing, is already an astronomical figure, but Zhou Yiquan said it easily, as if picking up Like a straw.Although Dongfang Changqing had a smile on his face, he couldn't help but gasped in his heart, and said, "Brother Yiquan, of course I'd be happy to help you, but I, the head of the Bureau of Culture and Radio, don't have the right to decide on such a big project." Yes, there are so many units bidding in the bidding, and there will be an open competition at that time."
Zhou Yiquan smiled again, and said, "Brother, after all, you are the director of the leading group office, and the specific work is still up to you. As for the above matters, of course I will settle it myself. Speaking of which, the old man has helped a lot in this project." Busy, the city will not deny this account. How about it, as long as your brother does the work within the scope of your duties, I will thank you whether you win the bid or not."
Dongfang Changqing thought, it seems that Zhou Yiquan really did a good job of the city's leaders this week, otherwise he would not use this tone. Now that the above has made a decision, his opinion of Dongfang Changqing is dispensable.Since the matter is irreversible, I don't have to offend others, and if I don't agree, the offended person may not be Zhou Yiquan.
But after thinking about it, Dongfang Changqing was a little undecided, and Zhou Yiquan kept saying that the old man was pulling a big banner as a tiger's skin?In the officialdom, many people have been deceived by swindlers who pretend to be the relatives and children of leaders or even the secretary of the leader. Many people can only be dumb and eat coptis after being deceived.Of course Zhou Yiquan is not impersonating, he is the son of Executive Deputy Governor Zhou Chunqing, there is no doubt about it, but Zhou Chunqing may not know what he is playing below, Dongfang Changqing recalled the short time he and Zhou Chunqing met, I feel that Zhou Chunqing is a serious person, it is impossible to do this, and he will not allow his son to do it.
As if seeing through the doubts in Dongfang Changqing's heart, Zhou Yiquan said: "I will definitely obtain the project based on my strength. Don't worry, I won't let you take any risks." , It is my honor to be able to help you, how dare I stand by and watch. It's just such a big project, it's really not something I can make a decision on."
Zhou Yiquan said with a smile: "How can I not know that my brother can decide on the 300 million jobs? But although the decision-making power belongs to the above, the operation is all up to my brother. Naturally, I have gone through the gate in the city. If I can't pass it, I don't blame you either."
Dongfang Changqing heard this, and thought to himself, it seems that Zhou Chunquan is very shrewd, usually carefree, besides being arrogant, he actually pretends to be stupid.He asked, "What can I do for you?"
When Zhou Yiquan asked, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and said: "Brother Dongfang agreed, you are really a straightforward person. You are the director of the office, and you must take the lead in the investigation of the qualifications and strengths of the bidding companies. The relevant units just sent personnel to participate. In the end, you still need to nod for the caliber of reporting to the city and province. I just want to ask my brother to take care of this pass." Then, he took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed it to Dongfang Changqing.When Dongfang Changqing looked at it, it was the company profile and tender documents, and immediately asked: "Brother Yiquan, are these documents for me?" Zhou Yiquan nodded with a smile, and said, "It's for you." Dongfang Changqing Qing smiled and said, "I wonder if Brother Yiquan's company is registered with the Municipal Government's Tendering Office?" Zhou Yiquan laughed and said, "Everything is ready." He kept silent at this point, and Dongfang Changqing laughed because he changed his surname Dongfang, the next sentence only owes Dongfeng, the meaning of Zhou Yiquan's words is already obvious, meaning that everything that needs to be taken care of has been taken care of. As long as Dongfang Changqing helps in the specific operation, things will be sure.
That night, Dongfang Changqing was the host and invited Zhou Yiquan to dinner. Zhou Yiquan said with a smile: "Brother Dongfang, I'm an idler. Although I have a work unit, I don't work very much, so I count myself as an idler. I don't have any hobbies, so I'm just an idler." Women, it's no fun for two brothers to be widowed, it's better to ask two women to accompany them."
Dongfang Changqing was disgusted in his heart, but he didn't show it, and said: "It's up to you, as long as Brother Zhou is happy." Zhou Yiquan took out his mobile phone to make a call, and after a while, two flirtatious young girls came , one of them fell into Zhou Yiquan's arms as soon as he came, and said softly: "Brother Quan, I haven't received your call for a long time, have you forgotten about him?" Zhou Yiquan winked at Dongfang Changqing, He hugged the girl and kissed him directly, and said: "Your brother always hugs the little baby in his dreams, how could he forget?"
Another girl walked towards Dongfang Changqing, with a professional smile on her face, walked to Dongfang Changqing's side, saw that his face was frosty, she restrained herself unconsciously, and just sat upright.Looking over there, Zhou Yiquan didn't care, and kissed with interest, as if there was no one in front of him.Dongfang Changqing suppressed the feeling of being insulted in his heart, Zhi reluctantly ate, and bid farewell to Zhou Yiquan.
When we got home, Zhou Xian was not at home. During this time, Zhou Xian was often not at home at night, and went to school to accompany his son.Dongfang Changqing turned on the light in the living room, threw herself on the sofa, and didn't even bother to turn on the TV.Dongfang Changqing has been thinking about every word Zhou Yiquan said in the afternoon, it seems that Zhou Yiquan is determined to win the project of the Southern Grand Theater.According to his many years of experience in politics, Dongfang Changqing weighed it and felt that Zhou Yiquan was 100% sure of winning the project. Over the years, some leaders were keen on contracting projects because of the huge benefits in the bidding process. Of the projects, only half of them are really used for construction, and the state money has been transferred into private pockets without anyone noticing.A few years ago, a road bridge under construction in a neighboring city suddenly collapsed during construction, and more than 70 people were crushed to death by workers under construction and pedestrians and vehicles passing by the old road under the bridge.Afterwards, it was found out that this project with an investment of more than 100 million yuan was subcontracted seven times, and only more than 10 million yuan was used to repair the bridge. After the bridge collapsed, no steel bar could be found from the broken section.
Today's leaders intervene quickly and deeply in engineering projects. Even for a small project, the leaders say hello and approve notes, too numerous to mention.Zhou Yiquan, as the son of the executive vice governor, really didn't need much effort to win this project. Today, when the official system has not been fundamentally reformed, how many people's official careers can be controlled by an executive vice governor can be described as With great power, I don't know how many people tried to find ways to get in touch with the deputy governor.Even though Chen Xinzhi, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, he has to buy it.Zhou Yiquan told him bluntly that the fact that he was with the leaders of the municipal party committee and government these few days should not be false.
However, Dongfang Changqing had to think carefully. Although he is only the director of the Bureau of Culture, Radio and Television, he can only be regarded as a middle-level cadre in the city, and he has no right to decide who will get the project.But he is a specific staff member, and it is not his turn to take the credit. Once something happens, he may become a scapegoat. Leaders are not only good at operating in the dark, but also good at entrusting others.This kind of situation emerges endlessly in reality, and there are quite a lot of lessons learned.In the bridge collapse incident in a neighboring city, a road director and engineer of the city were finally shot dead. Although the road director also received a little money from the contractor, a mere district road director was not willing to bid for the construction of a project worth hundreds of millions of yuan. There is no decision-making power. After Dongfang Changqing read the report at that time, he was shocked.That engineer was even more wronged, even more wronged than Dou E.Until now, the family members of the director and engineer who were shot are still petitioning for grievances, but what is the use?
The night gradually deepened, and outside the window, the neon lights of high-rise buildings on the street in the distance reflected colorful colors on the thin curtains.Dongfang Changqing lay quietly and entered a state of trance.He has no place to consult about everything right now, he can't even talk about it with anyone, even the wise master can't tell him, he can only rely on himself to walk in the cracks, not seeking benefits, only seeking to be able to escape unscathed.
In the end, Dongfang Changqing decided to go to Zhou Chunqing's house again. He wanted to know Zhou Chunqing's background. If Zhou Yiquan lied to his father, Dongfang Changqing would not get involved and kept a distance as much as possible.
Just when Dongfang Changqing was considering asking Bai Xue to contact Zhou Chunqing and go to Zhou Chunqing's house again, he received a strange call, and the caller said: "Director Dongfang, I am He Fang, Secretary of the Provincial Government Office, please send me Let me know your fax number, there is a material to be sent to you."
Dongfang Changqing was stunned for a moment, he had no contact with the provincial government office, so how could there be any faxes?After thinking about it, he still told the other party the fax number of the office.not for a while.Office director Tong Shijie knocked on the door and came in, holding a fax paper in his hand, and said, "Director, you have a fax." Dongfang Changqing took one, the fax was handwritten, and the manuscript paper was signed by the General Office of the Provincial People's Government. Dongfang Changqing looked at the content again, and couldn't help laughing. It turned out to be a bibliography, which listed more than ten books, most of which were historical books, mainly related to Ming and Qing Dynasties, including "Sheng Wu Ji", "Illustrations of Haiguo" " and other books, behind the title of the book, there is a string of numbers without any explanation. Dongfang Changqing looked at it and felt that it was a mobile phone number.Recalling the last conversation with Zhou Chunqing, Dongfang Changqing understood that this fax was sent from Zhou Chunqing's office.Looking up, he found Tong Shijie turned around and was about to leave, Dongfang Changqing stopped him, handed him the fax and said: "Director Tong, please make a copy of this list, and return the original fax to me, and the copied You give the copy to the city library and ask them to find all these books according to the bibliography in it, and the bureau wants to borrow these books. If some libraries don’t have them, ask them to find a way to borrow them in other cities. .”
Tong Shijie agreed and left.
With this fax, Dongfang Changqing decided to go to see Zhou Chunqing next time and not bring Bai Xue with her.Dongfang Changqing thought that if he had to take Bai Xue with him every time he went, it would be difficult for him to meet Zhou Chunqing independently, which would be detrimental to the future communication between the two.Besides, as soon as Bai Xue left, she would face Zhou Yiquan, which made Dongfang Changqing feel awkward.
Sure enough, the library replied quickly, and there were two books that were not available in the city library.Dongfang Changqing told the librarian that he was asked to borrow from the Provincial Library, and if the Provincial Library didn’t have any, he had to do everything possible to borrow from the National Library, and after borrowing money, he would spend money to copy and then bind it.Seeing Dongfang Changqing's determination at the library, I didn't know what it was for for a while, so I sent a report to the provincial library to ask for support, and finally borrowed the book from the Gu Bianban, copied two copies and sent them to be printed The factory bound it and sent it to Dongfang Changqing together with other books.Dongfang Changqing held the two thick copies of the book that he had obtained after a lot of trouble, and couldn't help but feel mixed feelings. Power is really a strange thing.
In order to confirm whether the phone number on the fax was Zhou Chunqing's phone number, Dongfang Changqing specifically asked Bai Xue, saying that he had other work to report to Vice Governor Zhou.The phone number Bai Xue said was exactly the same as the fax call.Dongfang Changqing became excited. Generally speaking, the mobile phone number of an executive deputy governor is never easily shown to outsiders. Not to mention senior cadres like Zhou Chunqing, even the general secretary of the municipal party committee and county head, the mobile phone number is not It is easy to reveal that each region has a contact number of the unit, in which the number of the secretary and county magistrate is blank, and only the number of the secretary is left below.Zhou Chunqing only had one conversation with himself, but he wrote down his phone number on the fax, which made him unbelievable.
Although it was confirmed that the number was the cell phone number of Vice Governor Zhou Chunqing, Dongfang Changqing would never be rash enough to call this number rashly. If he did so rashly, it would be politically naive.Dongfang Changqing's mobile phone had a call from Hefang, the provincial government office, so he made this call, and the phone was connected after only a few rings.Dongfang Changqing said: "Comrade He Fang? I am Dongfang Changqing from the Wenguang Bureau of Zixu City. You called me last time." The other party was very enthusiastic and said, "Remember, hello Director Dongfang." Dongfang Changqing said: "Let me report to you. After receiving your last fax, I have found the book. I would like to ask for instructions. Should I send it to you in person?" He Fang thought for a while and said: " Let me ask the leader for instructions and then reply to you, okay?"
Putting down the phone, Dongfang Changqing couldn't help but feel a little nervous, feeling more nervous than the last visit. After all, Bai Xue recommended the last time, and Dongfang Changqing also felt it from the last visit. It seems that Zhou Chunqing and his wife are very happy. He likes Baixue, hates Zhou Yiquan, and is dissatisfied with him abandoning Baixue. Because Zhou Yiquan treats Baixue badly, the old couple feel a little ashamed of Baixue, so it is easy to explain that they treat her better.Dongfang Changqing thought at the time that it was indeed not easy for a leader at Zhou Chunqing's level to handle family affairs with such warmth, and he deserved respect.But this time, his status was different. He wanted to contact Zhou Chunqing alone as a grassroots cadre. Although there was a reason to borrow books and it was supposed to be a matter of course, he was still nervous.
After a while, He Fang called, using the landline of the provincial government office, and said: "Director Dongfang, the leader is busy now, please come to the provincial government office tomorrow afternoon, and call me when you come Go." Dongfang Changqing said humbly: "Thank you Director He, I will definitely come tomorrow afternoon."
At noon the next day, Dongfang Changqing drove to the provincial government. Because he was afraid of being delayed by traffic jams, he deliberately moved two hours earlier.When I came to the provincial government compound, it was still early, Dongfang Changqing parked the car under a teahouse opposite the provincial government, went to the teahouse lobby, ordered a cup of tea and waited.Two hours later, He Fang called and said, "Director Dongfang, where are you?" Dongfang Changqing quickly answered his location.He Fang smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Director Dongfang, the leader has something to do this afternoon, how about this, I'll come to you, and leave the book with me for now, I'll transfer it."
Dongfang Changqing felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave all of a sudden, and his heart suddenly turned cold. After a long time, he couldn't see Zhou Chunqing.Thinking in his heart, his mouth was very enthusiastic, and he said: "Okay, Director He, come on, I'm waiting for you in the teahouse, and I just want to get to know you." He Fang smiled and said: "We have a chance Yes, ok, I'll come, just wait a moment."
Dongfang Changqing quickly asked the waiter to open a box, entered the box with tea, called He Fang, told him the name of the box, and said, "Director He, what kind of tea do you like to drink, I will order it for you first." He Fang said with a smile: "Whatever, why bother you?" Dongfang Changqing smiled and said: "There is no such kind of tea, how about I make you a cup of Pu'er?" He Fang said: "Okay."
After a while, the waiter came in with a young man, wearing glasses, with a thin and fair face, very handsome and cheerful.Dongfang Changqing hurriedly stood up and said: "It's Director He, it's a pleasure to meet you." He Fang smiled and stretched out his hand, saying: "Director Dongfang, I have admired you for a long time." The waiter girl couldn't help but burst into a smile, and the two of them felt it too, and both laughed.
After He Fang sat down, he said, "I'm really sorry. Today, the leader is going to meet a representative of a certain state-owned investment company. It's a temporary arrangement, so I can't see you. He entrusted me to apologize to you." Dongfang Changqing couldn't help standing up, saying : "Don't dare to be, dare not be, the leader treats people with such humility, I am really moved."
He Fang said with a smile: "Governor Zhou has this temper. He is very kind to subordinates, especially comrades at the grassroots level. Criticism, just laugh it off. They often tell us that comrades at the grassroots level have complicated work, with thousands of threads on the top and one needle at the bottom. All jobs in all walks of life must fall on the grassroots, and the treatment is not good, life is hard, and we must treat them kindly. Comrades at the grassroots level. But the leaders of various departments in the province are relatively strict, and many department heads are afraid of him.”
Dongfang Changqing said with admiration: "What I'm saying is that I was also fortunate to have a relationship with Governor Zhou. I especially admire his elder demeanor, and his knowledge is really as high as a mountain. Let's just talk about these bibliographies. There are some books that I have never heard of."
He Fang said: "Governor Zhou is a typical scholar-type leader. As his work secretary, I often receive his teachings and benefit a lot." After graduating from a postgraduate major in Chinese language and literature, he was assigned to the provincial government office upon graduation.Dongfang Changqing also graduated from the major of Chinese language and literature. The two chatted about ancient Chinese literature. After an hour passed without knowing it, Dongfang Changqing said: "Director He, I didn't expect that we hit each other so well. It's really fate."
He Fang was also very happy and said: "Director Dongfang, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Although I work in the provincial government, my family is from a rural area. In this provincial city, no matter what, I feel a little lonely. I made friends with you today. I’m really happy to be my friend, and if we have a chance in the future, let’s meet more.” Dongfang Changqing said with a smile: “I’m also from the countryside. The feeling you mentioned is actually shared by everyone who comes from the countryside. Yes, I am the same, no matter how long I live in the city, I feel that this is not my hometown, and it is difficult to integrate into the life of the city.”
After talking for a while, the two exchanged mobile phone numbers, Dongfang Changqing said: "Director He, I have an unfeeling request, I wonder if you can accept it?" He Fang laughed and said: "We are secretaries, the key is It is necessary to keep your mouth tight and not to express your position indiscriminately."
Dongfang Changqing laughed and said: "Director He has the essentials of secretary work. Actually, I don't want you to express your opinion. I just want to invite you to dinner tonight. How about it?"
He Fang also laughed at himself because of his nervousness, and said: "If it was normal, I would be happy to have dinner with Xiongtai, but not today. The governor has other official duties next week, so I have to Go with him, and we'll find another chance later."
After talking for a while, Dongfang Changqing handed over a large package of books to He Fang, and said, "Director He, besides our city library, some of these books are borrowed from other libraries, please give them to him." I'm sorry to make an IOU." He Fang smiled and said, "This is what we should do, we do business." He took out a pen and paper from his briefcase, wrote an IOU, handed it to Dongfang Changqing for collection, and said with a smile: " Bureau Chief Dongfang, you don’t mind if you change it to another one, you won’t dare to ask for an IOU from me, it’s really hard for you to ask for an IOU to borrow a few books from the dignified deputy governor.”
Dongfang Evergreen smiled apologetically, and said: "I have always been more rigid in my work, Director He, please don't mind." He Fang just smiled and said: "It is a good thing to be strong in principle, I can understand."
After handing over the book, the two said goodbye.Dongfang Changqing sent He Fang away, got into the car, and thought while driving, although he could not meet Vice Governor Zhou Chunqing today, but after all, he has deepened contact, and with the matter of borrowing books, there will be a reason to often去看望老头子了。何况，今天还认识了何方，从和何方半晌的接触，东方长青对这个年轻的秘书印象特别好，何方长相英俊，温文尔雅，而且不端架子，待人彬彬有礼，这是非常难得的。俗话说，阎王好见，小鬼难缠，领导的秘书，多有一些倨傲之人，有的甚至狐假虎威，不可一世。能够像何方这样，已经是很不容易了。
第二天，东方长青把图书馆馆长叫到自己的办公室，问了一下书目上的书市图书馆还有没有多的，如果有两套，就再借一套。东方长青预感到，下次他和周纯青会很快见面的，东方长青要把这些书看一下，以便到时候和周纯青交流。东方长青觉得，下级和领导见面，最忌乱说话，但也忌没有话说，乱说话，即使没有违反原则，也会给人留下夸夸其谈的印象，显得华而不实。没有话说，则无法和领导拉近感情。东方长青决心想方设法和周纯青接触，除了要探一探周纯青的底，看周以全揽工程的事是否有周纯青的支持外，当然也有着自己仕途进退的考虑，掌握着这样的资源，任何一个人都不会轻易放弃的，何况，东方长青的直觉告诉他，周纯青还是喜欢他的。
图书馆馆长立即打电话回去，要图书管理员按单子再找一下，还好，除了从外面借的那两本外，这些古籍都是有两套的。图书馆馆长叫图书管理员立即把书送一套到市文广局来，东方长青决定突击看一看这些书，到时候，他和周纯青就有可以交流的话题了。
过了半个月，南方大剧院项目快要进入竞标的阶段了，周纯青那边还是没有一点信息，东方长青有些着急，给何方打了几个电话，何方的答复是书已经转给周副省长了，周副省长很忙，还没有时间接见他。东方长青说：“那就再说吧，请您替我问候周省长，就说我也有一些学习上的问题想向他请教。”何方那头笑了起来，说：“放心吧，东方兄，我一定把你的话带到。”可是时间又过了一个星期，周纯青那边还是没有动静，东方长青沉不住气了，有一天晚上和白雪缠绵的时候，两个人流了一身汗水，东方长青说：“雪，我想再见周省长一面。”
白雪诧异地看着东方长青，好半晌，才问道：“项目资金配套承诺已经得到了，你去见他做什么？”东方长青紧紧地搂着白雪的身子，说：“我有事的。”白雪笑，点着东方长青的额头说：“你还能有什么事？”东方长青就不说话了，只是笑，白雪说：“还不是想傍着大树好乘凉。”东方长青笑，说：“你怎么知道我是想在大树下乘凉？”白雪也笑，说：“我在周家生活了几年，见得多了，那些脸上揣着笑，怀里揣着钱的，嘴里说着甜言蜜语的人，哪个不是奔着老头子手里的权力来的，你虽然和他们不同，在我看来是超凡脱俗的，但男人心里对权力的向往，你也是不可能免俗的。”
东方长青大笑起来，好一会儿，才认真地说：“雪，这回你还真是猜错了。当然，作为男人，我也有事业心，有着对仕途的追求，对权力的渴望，这点你没有说错。但这次我急于见周纯青，却不是为了自己的前途去的。”
“那你为什么那么急着要见他？”
东方长青轻轻地抚摸着白雪的胴体，用手指在她盈盈一握的乳房上划着圈，说：“我也不想瞒你，周以全找到我了，要揽南方大剧院这个工程。”
“他，承揽工程？”白雪愕然起来，随即笑了。“周以全承揽工程，天方夜谭，他有什么资质？给他一张设计图他都看不懂，还承揽工程。”
东方长青吃了一惊：“他说他资质齐全，而且技术设备都很雄厚，他已经报名参加竞标了，据我所知，标书已经投到市政府招标办公室，100万的报名费也全部交了。”
白雪鄙夷地笑着，说：“对周以全，我算是看透了，周以全除了会玩女人，他懂什么工程。东方，你还是少和他来往，他会害了你的。”
东方长青坏笑起来，伏在白雪的耳边小声说：“不向着真老公，倒向着假老公啦？”白雪一愣，脸立即绯红起来，偏过头一张嘴咬住了东方长青的嘴唇，低声叫道：“你坏，坏。”东方长青被她的娇憨迷醉，反过来咬上她的嘴，一个长长的吻开始了。与此同时，他的手在她的身上游移，探索。她开始呻吟起来，目光渐渐迷离，他放下她的嘴，一路狂吻由颈而肩，然后在她高挺的乳房上停留片刻，旋转而下，最后直达她最隐秘的境地。她终于被点燃了，她仿佛疼痛似地扭曲着身子，双腿紧紧绞缠在一起，磨挲着。有一会儿，她抱着他的头，把它紧紧压在那里，不让他的嘴唇离开那片水草丰美的腹地。最后，她终于忍受不住了，她把他拉了上去，用迷离的目光恳求他深深地侵入自己。最后，在彼此无靥的索求与奉献中，他们同归于尽。
“你真疯狂。”当两个人瘫软地搂在一起的时候，她怀着一种崇敬的感觉，表扬他。“短短的时间就做了两次，每次给我的感觉都像灵魂就要离开自己。”
他吻着她的汗水，笑了起来，说：“是你开发了我身体深处的潜力，你让我情欲高涨，不可自拔。”
“这是爱，亲爱的，我现在相信了，单纯的性和单纯的爱，都达不到这个境界，这是一种高度，不是爱与欲的完美结合，无法达到。”白雪呻吟似地说，迷醉地躺在东方长青的怀里，用一根手指在他的胸膛上划着圈子，一圈接着一圈。情欲的余波渐渐平息，她又想起了刚才的话题，于是不无担忧地说：“周以全这个人，我还是不希望你和他交往，工程更不能落在他手上。”
“所以，我得见一见周副省长。”东方长青简洁地说。
“老头子不会同意他这样乱来，他是背着他爸爸这样做的。”白雪肯定地说。“周纯青这个人很正直，应该说还是很清廉的，我从来没有看见他为家里做过什么，我和周以全还没有离婚的时候，周以全有一次要求调到省人大法工委去，省人大已经同意接收了，但硬是让周纯青给压了下来了，说是如果不是看在我周纯青的面上，你是不可能调到人大机关去的。我不能开这个头，让别人来戳我的脊梁骨。”
东方长青笑了起来，说：“难得我们有一位好省长呀，现在的官场，有人说是贪腐盛行，这话我不赞同，贪腐盛行的结论太悲观了，也不符合事实。但贪腐现象层出不穷，确实是令人担忧的。当然，我想要见周省长，也不完全是为了这件事，文化体制改革是个综合性的社会工程，没有上级领导的支持，这事就很难做下去。”
白雪笑，说：“行，我再找一个机会吧，为了你，我什么事都愿意去做。”
接下来，两个人还说了一会儿别的话，东方长青说，南方大剧院兴建后，主要的工作就是开展商业化演出，以后要把世界上著名的歌唱家，表演艺术家都要请到南方大剧院来演出，同时，本市也要创作和排练大批的优秀剧目，通过多方运作，求得最大的经济效益。因此，文化广播局已经向市委作了汇报，准备在南方大剧院兴建的同时，成立南方演艺集团有限责任公司，负责商业演出事宜。因为基地在南方大剧院，公司的主要负责人拟从剧院现任的领导中出现，这个领导，其实就是市电影发行放映公司经理白雪。白雪听了，就有些心慌，说：“东方，办公司我一点儿都不懂，怎么能当这个经理？”
东方长青笑着说：“什么事都有一个学习的过程，我们现在是在草创阶段，不可能向外面引进人才，目前这个样子，就是引进职业经理人，别人也不愿意来，现在的人才，都是愿意来管理的，却不愿意来创业的。我劝你还是把这个担子担起来，目前因为是创业阶段，竞争性不强，有些人甚至根本不愿意来担这个空架子，这个经理暂时是个空壳经理，无人觊觎，这是你的机会。如果做起来了，有了效益，人人都想来当这个经理，竞争就大了。”
白雪就笑，说：“这么说起来，这个经理目前是没有人愿意去当的？”
东方长青笑着老实承认：“是的，估计目前还没有几个人能够预计到将来南方演艺公司的巨大潜力，所以竞争不大，你上任也比较容易获得通过。另外，我之所以选中你，除了你懂得管理之外，还有着周纯青副省长这棵大树，有些事也容易处理一些。”
白雪点了点头，说：“既然你以为我能做好，我就试一试吧。”
东方长青严肃地说：“不是试一试，文化产业刚刚起步，经不住折腾，我要你切实地钻进去，把这项工作做好，做出效益。”
白雪撒起娇来，一个劲地往东方长青怀里拱，嗲着声说：“我听你的啦，老公。”
