Li Guozheng's year was not good, his wife Feng Aibo was accused of corruption, and he was struggling because more and more things surfaced, and he clearly realized that his voluntary resignation could not get rid of the whole thing, and he could not control the final outcome of the matter. Since his son's insaneness, Li Guozheng secretly believed in Buddhism, which was extremely ridiculous for a Communist Party member, but Li Guozheng not only believed, but also developed an almost fanatical worship of Buddhism in a short time.

In the early morning of the first day of the new year, he came to the Puyun Temple on the outskirts of Jiangcheng, after the routine incense, he knelt quietly in front of the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, his mouth recited words, his expression was pious and solemn, some debts always have to be repaid, first his son went crazy, and then his wife was arrested for corruption, and now he has to retire from the position of mayor of Jiangcheng, this series of incidents, all of which are attributed by Li Guozheng to paying for the sins committed in the past.

Walking out of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Li Guozheng breathed a long sigh of relief, it seemed that because of the confession just now, he was not a person who liked to escape, and the main thing to come to the temple to burn incense was to seek a moment of spiritual relaxation, he wanted to be calm, only by staying calm could he deal with the complicated situation in front of him, and only then could he resolve the strong pressure from all sides. He felt a large invisible net around him, coming towards him, and it was tightening tighter and tighter, trying to trap him in it.

Just out of Puyun Temple, Li Guozheng received a call, the call was from Xu Changde, after the regular greetings, Xu Changde immediately turned the conversation to the topic: "Yuda real estate company in the process of a number of land transfers in violation of the phenomenon, now Chen Jigao has been controlled by the procuratorate, according to his confession many things are through your secretary Li Zhenyang contact, Comrade Guozheng, I hope you can take the initiative to cooperate with the investigation!" Xu Changde said very politely, but the subtext revealed in it was quite threatening, and his words were tantamount to implying that Li Guozheng could not get rid of it. In fact, this kind of thing does not need Xu Changde to tell Li Guozheng, Xu Changde still decided to tell him in person, he wanted to see how Li Guozheng would react.

Li Guozheng said calmly: "Governor Xu, as long as the organization needs it, I will cooperate unconditionally, and I know everything and say everything, but Chen Jigao has nothing to do with me, and Li Zhenyang's problem should be Li Zhenyang's own responsibility." ”

"But Li Zhenyang is dead!"

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Li Guozheng's lips: "Governor Xu is now in charge of the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection?" However, Li Zhenyang's death has been decided, and even if it is to be investigated, it seems that the public security organs should be responsible. ”

How could Xu Changde not hear the ridicule in Li Guozheng's words, he secretly scolded in his heart, you think I want to take care of Jiangcheng's bad things, now it is Gu Yunzhi's old fox who is forcing me, and it is people who want me to continue to beat you, the water dog.

Li Guozheng said in a low voice: "Everyone will be responsible for what everyone has done, and I believe that the organization will give me a fair result!" ”

Feng Ailian's mouth is still quite hard, the working group has investigated for so long, she has never directed this matter to her husband Li Guozheng, and has carried all the problems down alone, and confessed to the evidence that she has embezzled, but she has a principle, she wants to lead out her husband through her, no way!

The real intention of the working group of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is to knock out the big tiger behind Feng Ailian, so they showed enough patience, after Chen Jigao of Yuda Real Estate was accused, he confessed to a lot of people, and now there are three main cadres in the development zone and the construction committee who have been subjected to shuanggui because of his accusations, Chen Jigao provided an important clue, he used to give gifts to Li Guozheng and his wife all through the mayor's secretary Li Zhenyang, as far as he knows, Li Guozheng and his wife are very cautious, these things are transferred by Li Zhenyang, and they never easily contact outsiders. This means that all the clues are focused on Li Zhenyang, and Li Zhenyang's death makes all the clues end here and come to an abrupt end.

One point still attracted the attention of the working group, Chen Jigao insisted that Li Guozheng had a problem, he believed that Feng Ailian's corruption, bribery, and crazy accumulation of wealth were all carried out with Li Guozheng's knowledge and consent, and he even believed that Li Zhenyang's death was not accidental.

……………………………………………………

Since the Qingtai Mountain tourism development incident, the city leadership of Jiangcheng has been in a state of shock, which has made everyone feel depressed, worried that bad luck will fall on their heads at some point.

At present, there are two people in the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee who are showing peace and security, one is the new acting mayor Zuo Jiechao, who has succeeded Li Guozheng and is full of confidence and hope for the future. One is the executive vice mayor Li Changyu, who was reactivated after Shuanggui, he has gone through the baptism of this political storm, and the road to his career will become broader in the future, and the two have a common characteristic, both of them are cadres who have been affirmed by Secretary Gu.

Hong Weiji, secretary of the municipal party committee, is now in a somewhat apprehensive mood, and he hopes that this storm in Jiangcheng will pass as soon as possible. When his old classmate Li Changyu came to visit, he invited Li Changyu to the study, and the two sat across the desk, and Hong Weiji rarely took the initiative to light a cigarette for Li Changyu.

Li Changyu joked: "The secretary of the municipal party committee lit a cigarette for me, the deputy mayor, are you a little bit of a mistake?" From Hong Weiji's gaze, he was already aware of his uneasiness.

Hong Weiji sighed and said: "Changyu, we are old classmates and good friends, there are no outsiders here, we can say a few words from the bottom of our hearts." ”

Li Changyu took a puff of cigarette silently, looking at Hong Weiji's seemingly sincere eyes through the misty smoke, the old classmate admitted that he would not believe his good friends if he was killed, and it was strange that there were real good friends in the political arena!

Hong Weiji said: "I haven't been able to keep you in the matter of you being shuanggui, and I have always felt guilty in my heart." ”

Li Changyu said with a smile: "Weiji, don't say that, we are all party cadres, we must first be responsible for the party and the people, and personal feelings must always be put in the second place, you have helped me a lot in the matter of photos, and the later development of things is not something you can control, how can I blame you?" If I really have a problem, I believe that you will not protect me because of your personal feelings, otherwise you will be irresponsible to the country and the people. ”

Hong Weiji nodded emphatically, looking excited! "Changyu, if you can think like this, I'm relieved!"

Li Changyu sighed and said: "The interests of the country are above everything else, and our friendship must be subordinated to this premise. Hong Weiji seemed to be touched by something, and he also sighed: "Changyu, I am very grateful, you can survive this storm, and it also proves that you are a good cadre who can withstand the test of the party and the country." In the future, we will work together to build Jiangcheng into a star city in the north of Pinghai as soon as possible! He sighed with emotion: "This Qingtai Mountain incident still affects you." His implication is that Zuo Yuanchao is not the executive deputy mayor, if Li Changyu did not have this incident, then it should be Li Changyu who is now the acting mayor of Jiangcheng.

Li Changyu said with a smile: "Comrade Aiding Korea is younger than me, and his comprehensive quality is very strong in all aspects, so it is correct to choose him organizationally!" When he said this, he did not have any grievances in his heart, and after the Shuanggui incident, he was more mature and restrained than in the past.

Hong Weiji didn't believe that Li Changyu would really think so, and anyone would be unhappy to see a position that originally belonged to him being occupied by others. Hong Weiji asked himself if he didn't have such a mind, and Li Changyu wouldn't have either.

Li Changyu turned the topic to Li Guozheng's matter and said in a low voice: "I heard that the progress of Feng Ailian's case is very unfavorable to Mayor Li?" ”

Hong Weiji sighed, there was a sense of desolation in his heart, he said in a low voice: "People can't get carried away when they are proud, they can't forget their duties, Feng Ailian's matter has reminded all our leading cadres, we must not only do a good job ourselves, but also supervise and remind our families, and we can't let them use our power to do bad things!" He paused and said, "I really don't want Comrade Guozheng to have anything to do with this matter!" In fact, he also understands that Li Guozheng can't be unaware of many of Feng Ailian's problems, this matter will be found on Li Guozheng's body sooner or later, there are so many units up and down Jiangcheng, and there will be a large number of people who will be affected, these people are undoubtedly good for Li Guozheng, or people who have received Li Guozheng's benefits, or people who have received Li Guozheng's benefits, to put it mildly, it is the Li Party, and these people who have a close relationship with Li Guozheng will be moldy.

Li Changyu talked about his long-term plan for Jiangcheng again, Hong Weiji was very conservative in his planning, there were too many things that happened recently, so that Hong Weiji was a little frightened, he did not dare to take a big step, at this sensitive moment, do not seek no merit but no fault, Hong Weiji said in a low voice: "After the festival, submit your plan to the Standing Committee for discussion first!" ”

……………………………………………………

On the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Yang picked up the old family from the villa and personally sent them to Jiangcheng, where they would stay for a few days.

According to Li Changyu's arrangement, after Zhang Yang went to the Beijing Office to hand over the work after the festival, he could go to the Jiangcheng Tourism Bureau to report for duty, and the procedures for the transfer of section-level cadres were not complicated. However, Zhang Yang still has some things to deal with in Beijing, and he must go to deal with them in person. The confirmed check-in date is February 1, the tenth day of the new year. Zhang Yang originally planned to take the time to go to the Dongjiang River, and met Gu Jiatong to pay New Year's greetings to Secretary Gu Yunzhi by the way, but now seeing that the time is pressing, he can only dispel this idea, and take a plane from Jiangcheng to Beijing on the fourth day of the new year.

There was also a lot of snow during the Spring Festival in Beijing, and the temperature plummeted to minus 15 degrees, although Zhang Daguan was strong and strong, he had to put on a down jacket to keep out the cold, and got off the plane and went straight to the Chunyang Beijing Office.

Coming to the Chunyang Beijing Office, Yu Xiaodong is directing the hotel staff to clear the snow, Liu Dazhu has also gone home recently, the farmhouse courtyard is simply closed until the fifteenth day of the first month, the Beijing Office plus the hotel There are only three people on duty, Yu Xiaodong chose to spend the New Year in Beijing this year, and did not return to Chunyang.

Seeing Zhang Yang's figure appear, Yu Xiaodong felt a little wrong, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Director Zhang, why did you come back so early?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "There's nothing to do over there, so come back and take a look!" I've brought you some hometown specialties to try! ”

Yu Xiaodong happily took it and accompanied Zhang Yang to his room: "Director Zhang, if you don't rest first, I'll go and prepare a hot bath for you." ”

Zhang Yang shook his head, put the things in the room, and said to Yu Xiaodong: "Sister Yu, I came back this time to hand over the work!" ”

Yu Xiaodong was stunned, she thought she had heard it wrong: "What did you say?" ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "The organization transferred my job and let me start working at the Jiangcheng Tourism Bureau in February!" ”

Only then did Yu Xiaodong know that what Zhang Yang said was true, and she was full of astonishment: "Why? Well done, why did you transfer to the tourism bureau? She quickly understood, could it be that Director Xiao Zhang went to be the director of the Jiangcheng Tourism Bureau? But he immediately denied this idea, and there was no possibility of jumping from the deputy department to the deputy department or the main department.

Zhang Yang sat down on the sofa, Yu Xiaodong poured him a cup of boiling water, put a black tea bag, and then served it to him.

Zhang Yang took a sip without waiting for the tea leaves to melt: "Let me go to the Market Development Department of the Tourism Bureau, the level should be promoted, and the deputy department will be transferred to the main department level." ”

Yu Xiaodong was born in the Chunyang Tourism Bureau in the past and has a good understanding of the situation of the Tourism Bureau. She was a little unworthy: "Director Zhang, you don't know the situation of the tourism bureau, if you are in a tourist city, the tourism bureau is a rich unit, but our Jiangcheng is a highly polluting heavy industry city, how many people come to travel every year?" Our tourism bureau is virtually non-existent, and the internal division of the tourism bureau is also exquisite, including the office, the personnel and education office, the industry management office, the market development office, and the planning and statistics office. The market development office you go to is the least powerful place. ”

Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing: "What power is not right, am I a person who cares about power?" ”

Yu Xiaodong thought to himself, it's strange that you don't care about power, who is still an official if you don't care about power, and you are trying to climb up one by one when you become an official, isn't it to gain more power? But she thought about it, her worries were superfluous, Director Xiao Zhang was as prosperous as the acting director of the Family Planning Office in Montenegro Township, such a character would not be willing to live under others no matter where he went, and he could break out of the sky wherever he went.

Zhang Yang said: "I have recommended you to the county as the new director of the Beijing Office, and it is estimated that there will be no problems." ”

Yu Xiaodong was pleasantly surprised, and she said softly: "Director Zhang, it's really not suitable for you to go, if you leave, I will lose the backbone, and this Beijing office really doesn't know if I can do it!" She said this from the bottom of her heart, and she was very down-to-earth under Zhang Yang's hands, as long as she obeyed his command.

Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Sister Yu, I worked here or you brought it out, I believe you can do a good job." "In fact, there is nothing to hand over the work of the Beijing Office, in the past, Yu Xiaodong has been responsible for specific affairs, and Zhang Yang came back mainly to meet a few people and say his work trends.

First of all, my godmother Luo Huining had to say something, and when she was Chinese New Year's Eve, she was just calling to pay New Year's greetings, and now she is about to return to Jiangcheng, so she has to meet her.

After contacting Luo Huining, I learned that she had been in the rehabilitation center during the Chinese New Year, and Wen Ling's rehabilitation treatment could not be interrupted, so she spent the whole New Year in the rehabilitation center around Wen Ling.

When Zhang Yang came to the rehabilitation center, it happened that Wen Guoquan was also there. Zhang Daguan's difference was fully manifested at this time, after he greeted Wen Guoquan, he came to Luo Huining, and kowtowed to Luo Huining three times. Even Wen Guoquan was shocked by his actions, this kid dared to do this in front of him!

Luo Huining laughed: "Zhang Yang, what era is it still like this!" ”

Zhang Yang said: "You are my godmother, it is natural for me to kowtow to you, I don't want to slap you!" ”

Luo Huining smiled and handed him a red envelope: "Okay, I know, just have this intention!" Don't pay attention to this form next time! ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "If you don't even pay attention to the minimum etiquette, you can't talk about anything!" He turned to Wen Guoquan and said, "Uncle Wen, I won't kowtow to you, I'm afraid that you will think I'm patting you!" ”

Wen Guoquan couldn't help laughing, this kid is really funny, he also took a red envelope to Zhang Yang: "It's all a family, how can there be any sycophancy?" In the past, he regarded Zhang Yang as a stranger in the rivers and lakes, knowing that Zhang Yang had a stunt, in fact, since Zhang Yang got acquainted with them, he did not regard himself as Wen Ling's life-saving benefactor, nor had he abused his influence, which was still appreciated by Wen Guoquan.

Luo Huining asked Zhang Yang to talk to Wen Guoquan, got up and went to the next room to help Wen Ling do routine rehabilitation training.

Wen Guoquan smiled: "Zhang Yang, Xiaoling's recovery is going well, I think in two months, she will be able to go out for activities." ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "Sister Ling's willpower is very strong, ordinary people will never be able to do her like this." ”

Wen Guoquan nodded, he originally wanted to say thank you to Zhang Yang and swallowed it back when it came to his lips, such a big favor only saying thank you is obviously too light, but since Zhang Yang is Luo Huining's godson, it is a family, and there is no need for the family to say such kind words. Wen Guoquan said: "Why didn't you stay at home for a few more days during the Chinese New Year? ”

Zhang Yang said: "I am about to transfer my job, and I will return to Jiangcheng in February, so I came here to do a work handover, explain some things in the Beijing Office, and also come to say hello to relatives and friends." ”

The work transfer of a deputy cadre-level cadre can't enter Wen Guoquan's eyes at all, but Zhang Yang has been regarded by him as his own family, since he is his own child, of course he must show concern, and this concern is natural, not deliberately disguised, Wen Guoquan said softly: "Back to Jiangcheng? ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "The leader transferred me to work at the Jiangcheng Tourism Bureau!" ”

Wen Guoquan was still clear about the situation in Jiangcheng, and he said with great interest: "As far as I know, Jiangcheng is not a tourist city!" ”

Zhang Yang said: "It is precisely because of this that I am asked to go back and accept this job!" ”

Wen Guoquan laughed, he realized that Zhang Yang's high fighting spirit, and the young man's aggressiveness was the most admirable. He smiled and said: "The state is now advocating the rejuvenation of the cadre ranks, so that our party's ranks can continue to replenish fresh blood and maintain youth and vitality forever." He paused and said, "Zhang Yang, you are a national cadre, do you know what a cadre means?" ”

Zhang Yangxin said that there is still no need to ask, aren't cadres officials? But he didn't say it, since Vice Premier Wen asked like this, it must not be so simple, he made a confused look.

Wen Guoquan said: "Cadre is actually a homophonic word, originated from the French than cdadre, the original meaning is the framework, officers, senior managers, and later as the meaning of military officials, social groups and heads of enterprises and institutions, the word cadre used in China originated in Japan, there are many types of cadres, there are party and government cadres, administrative cadres, leading cadres, provincial and ministerial cadres, department and bureau level cadres, county and department level cadres, section level cadres, organ cadres, career cadres, non-party cadres, factory and mine cadres, rural cadres, Cadres of township and town enterprises, etc., in the real society of our country, cadres worthy of the name are responsible personnel of party and government organs who have the status of cadres, hold leading posts, and engage in leadership work. After Wen Guoquan patiently explained the connotation of the word cadre to Zhang Yang, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Zhang Yang's brain cells were also fully mobilized at this time, he was leaning on himself, he was obviously a veritable cadre, a section-level cadre.

Wen Guoquan said: "There are many cadres in China, and as far as I know, the number of cadres in China has exceeded 10 million, so China has the largest contingent of leading cadres in the world and the largest contingent of public servants in the world. This team accommodates countless elites and outstanding talents, it is precisely because of the huge nature of the team, such a group will definitely have a mixture of fish and dragons, in peacetime, it is difficult to find an excellent cadre, excellent cadres may not be able to get the reuse they deserve, which requires our cadres to have a normal heart, based on the present, do their own work. Publicity! I tell you this to let you understand the true meaning of cadres, let you understand that the road of official career is not easy to take, the first thing that comes to mind is not to be an official, but to do things! Only then can you become a competent and good cadre!

Wen Guoquan's words are not the same as the sentence that Zhang Yang heard in the past, not to see how big an official is, but how big to be. Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Uncle Wen, in fact, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing for a person to want to be an official. ”

Wen Guoquan looked at him with a smile, and said publicly: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a cadre who doesn't want to be a big official is not a good cadre, this is enterprising. Only in this way can he give full play to his energy and do his best to seek the well-being of the people. For example, if you are just a township chief, then no matter how much you have the ability and ambition, you will not be able to show it! ”

Although Wen Guoquan knew that Zhang Yang was a crooked reason, he did not deny that he had some truth, and said with a smile: "So political performance is one of the important criteria for us to evaluate cadres. Zhang Yang said: "I want to be a good official!" ”

Wen Guoquan nodded and said: "If everyone in our cadre team thinks so, there will not be so much corruption, and the speed of our country's economic construction will be much faster!" ”

Luo Huining returned to them after finishing his work, and saw that the two of them were still talking enthusiastically, and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so happy to talk about?" ”

Wen Guoquan said with a smile: "Zhang Yang is going back to Jiangcheng to take up his post, I'll talk to him about how to do a good job!" ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "Uncle Wen gave me a lesson, I have benefited a lot from this time!" ”

Luo Huining glanced at Wen Guoquan with some disgust and said: "He, he usually doesn't go home, he likes to teach others at home, by the way, why did he suddenly go to Jiangcheng?" ”

Zhang Yang talked to Luo Huining a lot more casually: "I have been promoted, and the deputy department has been promoted to the main department!" ”

Luo Huining thought that he would be promoted to a big official, but after a long time, he was still a section level, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's a good thing!" At the age of twenty-one, he became a section chief! At your promotion speed, you will be able to sit in your Uncle Wen's position before the age of forty! "is worthy of being Zhang Daguan's godmother, and she can get there first when Zhang Yang doesn't dare to think about it.

Zhang Yang coughed a little embarrassed.

Wen Guoquan laughed: "If you work hard, it's not impossible, you two talk, I'll go see Xiaoling!" ”

Zhang Yang hurriedly got up and sent him to the door.

After sitting down again, Luo Huining asked him about going to Jiangcheng to take up a post, and after listening, Luo Huining frowned and said, "If you don't want to go, I can help you talk about it." ”

Zhang Yang saw that Luo Huining had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly said: "Godmother, don't, I don't want to be specialized, besides, if you come forward, people will have to consider your face first when I do anything in the future, but I can't let go of my hands and feet, I want to break through with my own ability, so that I can have the happiness of starting a business." ”

Luo Huining smiled: "You are very similar to your Uncle Wen, he came up step by step back then, and never relied on other people's relationships, okay!" If you think so, I don't care about you, Tourist Board? It doesn't seem to be an important unit! ”

Zhang Yang said with confidence: "It's important soon!" "This guy is full of confidence in himself, where I Zhang Daguan goes, that is the focus of attention, I can play with the Heishanzi Township Family Planning Office, I can play with the Chunyang Investment Promotion Office, I can play with the Chunyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Chunyang Office in Beijing, and Lao Tzu can play with the Jiangcheng Tourism Bureau.

Luo Huining said: "After two months, when Wen Ling's body recovers, I plan to take her back to her hometown to have a look, and then take time to go to Jiangcheng to see what good scenery you have there!" ”

"Okay! When you go over, I'll take you to Qingtai Mountain! "Zhang Daguan will never let go of any opportunity to promote the tourism resources of Qingtai Mountain.

Before leaving, he heard from the nurse that Wen Ling had rested, so he didn't bother, said something to Luo Huining, and quietly left the rehabilitation center.

Zhang Daguan is a person with clear grievances, people respect him a foot, he will respect people, but if people want to harm him with all their hearts, he will never repay his grievances with virtue, if there is a person in the capital who needs to be ambitious, that person is Wang Xuehai first, before leaving Beijing, he has to settle the past account with this guy.

Liu Ming did not disappoint him, and took advantage of the secret weapon given to him by Zhang Daguan, and recently took a lot of photos of Wang Xuehai, and the identity of the woman in the photo was also found out by him, the woman's name is Lin Yuwen, she is the proprietress of a bar in Sanlitun, according to verification, the boss behind the bar is Wang Xuehai.

Zhang Yang carefully reviewed the thick stack of photos at hand, except for a few photos of Wang Xuehai and Lin Yuwen hugging each other, there was nothing too substantial, and I am afraid that these alone would not threaten Wang Xuehai, Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "You have been staring at it for so long, and you haven't taken a picture of kissing the mouth and getting on bed or something?" ”

Liu Mingxin said that you think everyone is like you, when you see a woman, you will pounce on you and hug her, this kind of thing is not dared to say it in front of Zhang Daguan anyway, he smiled bitterly: "Wang Xuehai is very cautious, I have been staring at him for a long time, he and Lin Yuwen hugged him twice in the car at most, and they have always been very responsible in the public scene outside." ”

"Duty, pretend, I don't believe that the two of them haven't been laid?"
