Zhang Yang said: "Minister Xu, I am not very familiar with the situation of Fortress, and I have only recently read some information about Fortress!" ”

Xu Biao said: "You asked the right person, Fengze became a county-level city before, I served as the county magistrate of Fengze, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Fengze is a large grain producer in Jiangcheng, agriculture is heavily fed, mostly plains, Fengze has the second largest freshwater lake in Pinghai Fengze Lake, connected with the Qingjiang River, fishery resources are quite rich Zhang Yang smiled: "I know these very well, the land of fish and rice, a good place!" Xu Yabei said: "I still remember that when I was a child, I lived by Fengze Lake and ate a lot of fish and shrimp.

Xu Biao said: "Shen Qinghua, the current secretary of the Fengze Municipal Party Committee, is fifty-eight years old, if there is no accident, he should work in Fengze until he retires, this person sits up from the grassroots level, has never left the political arena of Jiangcheng, is one of the veterans in the Jiangcheng system, he is steady, has a good political reputation, and is a well-known Qing official. On weekdays, he walks through the family courtyard of the county party committee and does not need a driver. Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Rare!" ”

Xu Biao said: "Mayor Sun Dongqiang should be familiar with you, he has not been to Fengze for a long time, but judging from the feedback, the reputation is not bad, after all, with Director Zhao, a political veteran, from the side, his progress is also obvious." Xu Biao is worthy of being engaged in organizational work, he said several members of the Standing Committee of Fengze City like a few treasures, Zhang Yang nodded frequently, he collected for most of the day! $ section is not as much as what I got from Xu Biao, today's meal was not in vain, even the organization department talked and learned about the situation of Fengze cadres. Zhang Yang carefully asked: "Minister Xu, what kind of working method do you think I should adopt when I go to Fortress?" ”

Xu Biao said: "As the saying goes, the new official takes office with three fires, in fact, it is misleading, the person who dares to set fire must be the person who has the right to speak, the secretary of the Fengze Municipal Party Committee can set fire, the mayor can set fire, and even the Standing Committee members can set fire, but you, the deputy mayor in charge of culture, education and health, are not so suitable, but if you don't set fire, others will say that you don't act, no ability, as you just said a little low-key, this year you are low-key others will not say that you are modest, only say that you are cowardly, will only say that you have no ability." ”

Zhang Yang was a little confused when he heard it, Xu Biao said that it was not appropriate to set fire, and said that it was not good to be low-key, could he, the deputy mayor, only secretly set fire?

Xu Biao said: "As I said just now, you, the deputy mayor, are very capable, if you just want to complete your term, you can obey orders and listen to commands, if you want to make a difference, then you have to judge the situation." Zhang Yang said: "To put it bluntly, I am a petty official, but I actually have no power!" ”

Xu Biao said with a smile: "Not really, any organizational structure is full of factional struggles, this is Chinese characteristics, it can't be avoided, you go to Fengze, the first thing you face is the problem of standing in line, even if you don't think about it, someone will definitely win you over, see the form clearly and then decide how to go next, if you can't see it clearly, just mix it up." ”

Xu Yawei said: "Dad, why do you always persuade Zhang Yang to mess around, when the new official takes office, it is the time to show his ambitions, you don't say words of encouragement, but instead retreat one by one, which is a bit too much." Xu Biao scolded with a smile: "You know a fart!" "I don't understand anything, and I'm a captain!"

"How many people can there be in a boat? How can you understand the complexity of politics! Xu Biao turned to Zhang Yang and said: "Zhang Chi is the right way to deal with the situation, appoint you as the deputy mayor of Fengze City, Secretary Du is under a lot of pressure, you have to work hard and prove your ability as soon as possible. After Zhang Yang left Xu Biao's house that night, he went to visit Li Changyu by the way, Li Changyu and his wife Ge Chunli were watching TV, since the defeat in the competition for mayor, Li Changyu has obviously lowered his profile a lot, which is not only manifested in the Standing Committee, but also in the specific work, he rarely puts forward pioneering ideas and suggestions, just silently acts as an executor of a higher-level policy, which is also the reason why the relationship between him and Zuo Yuanchao has quickly eased, and even become much more compatible.

After Aunt Su's death, the number of times Zhang Yang came to Li Changyu's house also decreased significantly. Ge Chunli was very surprised when she saw Zhang Yang's visit: "Zhang Yang! I haven't seen you in a day!

Zhang Yang shouted with a smile: "Aunt Ge! ”

Ge Chunli turned around and said, "Changyu! Zhang Yang is coming! ”

Li Changyu said: "Invite him in!" ”

Li Changyu sat on the sofa with a cigarette in his hand, and a Taiwanese bitter drama was playing on the TV. Zhang Yang smiled: "Uncle Li, when do you like to watch these bitter dramas?" ”

Li Changyu smiled helplessly: "Your Aunt Ge has to let me accompany her, saying that it is to relax the brain, and as soon as I hear the people in the play speak, my scalp will be numb." He got up and pointed outside: "Let's talk outside, don't delay your Aunt Ge watching TV!" "That's it. Zhang Yang responded, came to the courtyard with Li Changyu with a teacup, and sat under the vines Li Changyu smiled: "Come by the way?" Zhang Yang smiled: "I really can't hide anything from you, Mayor Li's eyes are like torches!" ”

Li Changyu said: "Flim tongue, you are about to become the deputy mayor of Fengze now" Be more steady." Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, yes!" ”

Li Changyu said: "It's not aluminum to go to Fengze, after Secretary Gu leaves office, Pinghai's political arena will definitely face a storm, and Fengze is a safe haven." "Sun Dongqiang is the mayor, and I'm afraid that it won't be peaceful when I go to Fengze!" In front of Li Changyu, Zhang Yang's speech was as straightforward as ever.

Li Changyu said: "There are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends in politics, only political interests remain the same!" Zhang Yang was stunned.

Li Changyu pumped. Yan said: "Fengze's right to speak is not in the hands of Sun Dongqiang, nor is it in your hands, but in the hands of Shen Qinghua, Shen Qinghua is a well-known Qing official, this person is very stable, a little conservative, and stubborn, you have to get along with him with more eyes." Zhang Yang said: "I'm just a petty official in charge of culture, education and health, and I try not to meddle in things!" ”

Li Changyu said: "Culture, education and health are not easy to do, you have been working hard for two years, if there are any difficulties, I will help you!" Li Changyu's words are sincere. Zhang Yang nodded with emotion.

Li Changyu said again: "When Secretary Du nominated you as the deputy mayor of Fengze City, many Standing Committee members came out to oppose it, and I think this Jiangcheng will become more and more unstable. Zhang Yang said disdainfully: "I have offended Zhao Yanglin since I ran for the top ten young people, and he has always wanted to rectify me!" ”

Li Changyu sighed secretly in his heart, from the nomination of Zhang Yang as the deputy mayor of Fengze City, it can be seen that the city Standing Committee has quietly changed, the biggest change is in the mayor Zuo Yuanchao, Zuo Yuanchao opposition is an unprecedented thing, not to mention the relationship with Zhang Yang, the relationship between Zuo Yuanchao and Zhang Yang was once very close, his attitude is intriguing, and the same as Zuo Yuanchao, the new Standing Committee member Xiao Ming also showed an ambiguous attitude, with his relationship with Zhang Yang should have been strong, but he proposed to vote.

Du Tianye, the secretary of the municipal party committee, apparently saw this, and he refused to vote, all the more because he was not sure and did not have the confidence to let the proposal pass. Politically, there really are no permanent friends, and Li Changyu understands that no matter whether Zhang Yang leaves or stays, this political struggle in Jiangcheng will inevitably come.

Zhang Yang said: "Uncle Li, I came here to learn from you, it is the first time I have held such a job, managing so many people, I don't know where to start!" ”

Li Changyu said with a smile: "I can't teach you now, with my experience and experience to see your actions, I almost have to shake my head, if it was me in your position, I would definitely not use your handling method, but it turns out that your method is very effective, or do things according to your heart, in short, as long as you are worthy of your heart, you can do a good job in any position." ”

Zhang Yang nodded: "I'm going to let Chang Lingfeng go to Fengze to help me, he has a set of economic skills." ”

Li Changyu couldn't help laughing, with his understanding of Zhang Yang, this kid must be going to do a big job in Fengze, Du Tianye put him in Fengze, obviously creating contradictions, could it be that this young city drug secretary is already ready to attack Zhao Yanglin?

Li Changyu said: "We should pay attention to having a good relationship with the local officials in Fengze, Shen Qinghua, secretary of the Fengze Municipal Party Committee, was inspected by the Organization Department with me back then, he was defeated because of his age, Shen Qinghua's official reputation is very good, and he is very prestigious in Fengze, almost all the grassroots cadres in Fengze City were promoted by him, although Fengze is a county-level city, Shen Qinghua is at the level of deputy department. Zhang Yang said: "I don't know if he has anything to swallow?" ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Li Changyu's old face couldn't help but feel a little feverish, he coughed dryly twice, looked behind him, and lowered his voice and said: "Recently, my body is not as good as before: i; …… r……”

Zhang Yang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Changyu's cowardly expression like a little girl, and when he smiled, Li Changyu felt even more embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "You help me diagnose my pulse!" ”

Zhang Yang helped him check his pulse: "There is no problem, it may be that the work pressure is too great, the method of meditation and pranayama I gave you, you practice it every day." Li Changyu sighed and said, "I haven't practiced for a few days!" Zhang Yang's appointment to Fengze City as deputy mayor was finally officially issued, and the news soon spread out, and the entire Jiangcheng system was in an uproar, envious, jealous, gossiping more, coming to climb the relationship, the call for hospitality was endless, Zhang Yang resigned, he went to live in the wooden house villa of Xiao Nanchao, and there were two days before he took office, he wanted to take a good rest. But some people can't refuse, such as Qiao Mengyuan.

Qiao Mengzhen called to congratulate Zhang Yang on his promotion, and by the way, he proposed to hold a banquet in the New Emperor Mansion that night to see Zhang Yang off.

Zhang Yang agreed without thinking about it, and immediately Qiao Mengjiao's old man Qiao Zhenliang came to Pinghai to take charge, and he and Qiao Mengjiao must maintain a good relationship, maybe it will come in handy at any time.

Zhang Yang met Zhao Yanglin, director of the National People's Congress, in front of the door of the new emperor, although he didn't like to see this old guy in his heart, but the face matter still needs to be taken into account, Zhang Yang took the initiative to walk over with a smile, stretched out his hand and said: "Director Zhao, what a coincidence, you also come here to eat?" ”

Zhao Yanglin smiled and shook hands with Zhang Yang: "Xiao Zhang, I made an appointment with a few old friends to get together here, you are ......" Zhang Yang pointed to Qiao Mengjiao in a blue skirt and said: "Qiao always invites me!" ”

Zhao Yanglin chuckled in his heart, looking at Qiao Mengjiao who walked with elegant steps, and secretly wondered in his heart, does this kid want to connect with Secretary Qiao through Qiao Mengyuan? In the eyes of a conspirator, anyone is a conspirator, Zhao Yanglin has a taste of doubting everything, and with this thought, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Qiao Mengyuan came to Zhao Yanglin first to say hello, and said with a smile: "Director Zhao also came to eat with us!" Qiao Mengjiao doesn't care about the specific affairs of the hotel, on weekdays, she basically doesn't come here except for dinner.

Zhao Yanglin often comes to the new Emgrand, in fact, no matter who invites him to dinner, he comes here, Zhao Yanglin is a person who pays attention to details, thinking that even if it is a meal, it is also a support for Qiao Mengyuan, and the support for Qiao Mengyuan will go to Secretary Qiao to show goodwill.

Zhao Yanglin said with a smile: "I like the environment here, and the taste of the new Emgrand dishes is especially suitable for me!" ”

Zhang Yang said: "Director Zhao is older, it's better to eat lightly, and the dishes of the new Emgrand are a little spicy!" His words are a \{6 pun.

Zhao Yanglin, a political veteran, tasted the irony as soon as he heard it, Zhao Yanglin smiled: "No way, I can't eat without chili peppers in my life, and I can't change it if I learn from **!" "He's pretty good at putting gold in his face.

At this time, several more people came over, one of them turned out to be Deputy Mayor Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang took the initiative to greet him: "Mayor Xiao is also here to eat!" ”

Xiao Ming nodded with a smile, and Zhao Yanglin smiled: "We're together!" Xiao Ming heard the words, and the expression on his face was obviously a little unnatural.

Zhang Yang laughed: "Mayor Xiao's alcohol consumption is not very good, drink two glasses less, Director Zhao is famous for a lot!" ”

Zhao Yanglin pulled Xiao Ming and walked inside, and there was a flamboyant voice behind him: "I'll go back and toast you!" ”
