Life coincidences are everywhere, although it is not the first time that Zhang Yang and Qiao Mengyuan have gone to the Dongjiang River together, it is the first time that a lonely man and a widow have walked alone, Qiao Mengyuan tries her best to make herself appear natural and calm, but Zhang Yang can still feel her inadvertently revealing restraint.

Zhang Yang defines himself as a polite and humble gentleman most of the time, he will not do excessive things, and the topics he talks about with Qiao Mengyuan are not painful, Qiao Mengyuan also became much more natural when he realized that he was not too dangerous, and the topic of the two gradually came to the new airport.

Zhang Yang did not hide his main purpose of going to Dongjiang this time, he smiled and said: "This time I went to Dongjiang, mainly to win the provincial financial allocation, Nancy recently engaged in the deep-water port project, we Jiangcheng is preparing to build a new airport project, the province will pay more attention to whoever has more policy, and will give more money to whom." ”

Qiao Mengyuan smiled: "So you went to grab money!" ”

Zhang Yang smiled and said: "It can be said that the financial investment in the province has to be biased, and if we don't fight for it, the money will go to Nancy." He glanced at Qiao Mengyuan and said, "Just the relationship between the two of us, you have to help me say a few kind words in front of Secretary Qiao." ”

Qiao Mengyuan's words almost burst out, what is the relationship between the two of us? But when the words came to his lips, he felt that something was wrong, and said with a faint smile: "I am also half a Jiangcheng citizen now, and I will do my best to do these things." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Is this time back to Jiangcheng to visit relatives or business?" ”

Qiao Mengyuan said: "Tomorrow is my mother's birthday!" ”

Zhang Yang said: "Help me bless her!" ”

"Thank you!"

The two chatted respectfully, time passed quickly, at nine o'clock in the evening had arrived at the Dongjiang River, Zhang Yang sent Qiao Mengyuan to the family home of the provincial party committee, Qiao Mengyuan was about to get off the car, Zhang Yang said again: "It's so late, let's have a meal together and go back?" ”

Qiao Mengyuan turned around, looked at Zhang Yang's hopeful face, and nodded lightly.

The two didn't go far, they sat down in the small corner building diagonally opposite the family courtyard of the provincial party committee, Qiao Mengyuan likes to eat boiled fish here, Zhang Yang is not very cold to Sichuan cuisine, asked for a plate of peanuts, cut a plate of braised beef, and took a bottle of Qingjiang special from the car to drink.

Qiao Mengyuan was worried that he would get into trouble driving under the influence of alcohol, and said softly: "You drink less, it is not safe to drive under the influence of alcohol." ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "If you are worried that my drunk driving is not safe, just leave me to live in your house!" ”

One sentence made Qiao Mengyuan's face flushed, daring to love this guy was honest all the way to disguise, as soon as he set foot on the land of the Dongjiang River, he began to relapse into his old ways. In fact, Zhang Yang is crazy alone, the more the two of them are alone, the more humble and polite he is, but when it comes to public, he begins to move.

Qiao Mengyuan just didn't hear it, took a piece of boiled fish, and ate it very attentively.

Zhang Yang poured a glass of wine and put it in front of her: "Drink with me!" ”

Qiao Mengyuan picked up her wine glass and said with a smile: "Thank you for being my driver!" ”

Zhang Yang said: "For you, I will always bow my head and be willing to be a son of a cow." His words contain a bit of ambiguity.

Qiao Mengyuan said with a smile: "You are a national cadre, even if you are a cow and a horse, the first thing that comes to mind is to be a ** old scalper." ”

Zhang Yang was about to say a few words to her, when he suddenly heard a hearty laugh: "Mengyuan, why are you here?" ”

Qiao Mengyuan's eldest brother Qiao Pengju came out of the private room, and just happened to see Zhang Yang and Qiao Mengyuan eating in the hall, his mother is birthday tomorrow, he knew that his sister would come back from Jiangcheng tonight, but he didn't expect to meet his sister here, let alone that his sister would eat with Zhang Yang.

Qiao Mengyuan looked a little nervous when he saw his eldest brother at first glance, but Zhang Daguan was very calm, the relationship between him and Qiao Mengyuan was innocent, nothing was unseemly, he got up and smiled: "Mr. Qiao, what a coincidence!" ”

Qiao Pengju said with a smile: "I like to eat boiled fish here, and every time I come to Dongjiang, I will eat here." ”

Zhang Yang said: "I didn't expect that your two brothers and sisters have the same taste. He invited Qiao Peng to raise his head: "Let's have two drinks together!" ”

Qiao Peng raised his head and said, "You eat first, I'll go inside and say something." ”

Qiao Pengju turned around and went back to the room to explain to a few friends, and after a while, he turned back with a bottle of Feitian Moutai in his hand.

Zhang Yang smiled: "Come here, bring wine, what's polite?" ”

Qiao Pengju put the wine on the table, and Zhang Yang first picked up Qingjiang and poured him a glass: "Taste the local wine of our Jiangcheng." ”

Qiao Pengju didn't say anything polite to him, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Zhang Yang, and went down to half a glass in one bite, Zhang Yang called the waiter and ordered two more dishes.

Qiao Mengyuan got up and said, "I'm full, I'll go home first." ”

Qiao Pengju nodded, Qiao Mengyuan waved his hand to Zhang Yang and said, "Thank you for letting me hitchhike, don't forget to call me when you go back." Qiao Mengyuan's words are a bit of a cover-up.

Zhang Yang smiled, and after Qiao Mengyuan left, he raised his hand to Qiao Peng: "I just heard that my aunt will have a birthday tomorrow." ”

Qiao Pengju smiled and said: "I also just arrived in the morning, usually Mengyuan and I are doing business outside, not by my parents' side, on my parents' birthday, we must come back to show our filial piety." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Filial piety is a must, when we were young, we neglected to get along with our parents because we were busy with work, and we will definitely regret it in the future." ”

Qiao Pengju sighed: "Life is too short, so we must cherish all the people around us who can be cherished." ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "Mr. Qiao's words are full of philosophy! ”

Qiao Pengju smiled and said: "It's just a feeling, it makes you laugh!" ”

The two drank a glass of wine together, and Qiao Peng said, "I heard that Jiangcheng is working on a new airport project?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Yes, it is currently in the preparatory period, and there will be public bidding and procurement activities for the project next week. ”

Qiao Pengju said: "I also heard that there are some problems with the funding of your new airport construction. ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "This news is not accurate, the new airport project has attracted a lot of investment, not to mention small investors, there are two large investors in China alone who want to inject capital into the construction of the airport." ”

Qiao Pengju said with a smile: "This is the best, doing things now, it is absolutely impossible to do things without sufficient financial guarantees." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Mr. Qiao is also interested in our new airport project? Zhang Yang is now particularly sensitive to investment, and he also knows that the industry Qiao Pengju is engaged in is financial investment, if Qiao Pengju is interested in the new airport project, then this time to win more provincial financial allocation has a greater certainty.

Qiao Pengju shook his head: "I don't have much interest in investing in Jiangcheng New Airport, although I have not been in Pinghai for a long time, but I see that the economic pattern of Pinghai is still strong in the south and weak in the north, rather than investing money in the slow development of the north, it is better to invest money in the booming southern region, I am a businessman, and the principle of businessmen is to obtain the maximum benefits in the shortest possible time." Qiao Pengju paused and said in an accentuated tone: "So I chose to invest in the Nancy deep-water port project." ”

Zhang Yang's heart sank, Qiao Pengju's words conveyed an important message to him, Qiao Pengju wants to invest in the Nancy deep-water port project, that is to say, in the matter of striving for provincial financial allocation, Nancy has taken the lead, Qiao Pengju is optimistic about Nancy, does it represent Qiao Zhenliang's view, if it is really like that, this time his trip to the Dongjiang River, ten hopes will be disappointed.

Qiao Pengju slowly lowered his glass and said: "The province will recently set up a five-year key project, Nancy deep-water port and Jiangcheng new airport are among them, although they are all key projects, in terms of policy, in terms of financial support, there will definitely be some focus, do you come here this time to have anything to do with this matter?" ”

Qiao Pengju's sentence hit the point, Zhang Yang did not hide it, in fact, there was no need to conceal it, Zhang Yang said calmly: "The city asked me to come over this time to win the support of the provincial policy." ”

Qiao Pengju said with a smile: "That's it, everyone wants to be the top priority, everyone wants to get the provincial finance, the leaders of Nancy City have done a lot of work before you, and they are ahead of you." ”

Zhang Yang said: "As far as I know, their deep-water port project has not officially started. ”

Qiao Pengju said: "Nancy's economic strength is stronger than Jiangcheng, and the approval for the deep-water port project has been won, and they have begun to do provincial work since then." ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "If you were a provincial leader, would you support that project?" ”

Qiao Pengju smiled and said: "I will support whichever project can bring the greatest benefits to Pinghai." ”

Zhang Yangxin said, what you said is the same as not saying it, but even if Qiao Pengju doesn't say it, he knows that people who decide to invest in Nancy deep-water port must be optimistic about the future of deep-water port, and there is no doubt that Qiao Pengju supports deep-water port.

Before Zhang Yang came to Dongjiang, he didn't expect this matter to be so complicated, after breaking up with Qiao Pengju, he went to the provincial zf to live, and he had to do business early tomorrow morning, and today's encounter with Qiao Pengju suddenly increased the pressure on Zhang Yang's shoulders a lot.

When Qiao Pengju returned home, his parents and sister were talking in the living room.

When Qiao Zhenliang saw his son coming back, he couldn't help laughing: "Did you drink too much?" ”

Qiao Pengju smiled and said, "Eight taels of liquor is still within my digestion range." ”

Meng Chuanmei looked at her son lovingly: "Drink less, now you are young and in good health, and when you grow up in the future, you will know that your body cannot be squandered." ”

Qiao Peng smiled and said, "Mom, I didn't squander my body!" He came to his father and sat down.

Qiao Mengyuan handed the poured tea to him and said softly, "Brother, drink more water." ”

Qiao Peng said: "Zhang Yang's amount of alcohol is really powerful, and I am not his opponent when I really drink it." ”

Qiao Zhenliang said: "What is a young person worse than? What if you can drink more than drinking? Can it promote socialist modernization? ”

Qiao Mengyuan listened to it interestingly, and couldn't help but laugh.

Qiao Peng said: "Dad, there is a problem with your understanding, the more we drink, the more wine the distillery sells, the more funds are recovered, and the benefits of the distillery will naturally be better, and the benefits and taxes paid to the state will be more." The more taxes the state collects, the fuller the treasury will be, the economy of our entire country will continue to develop, and the reform process will be accelerated, which is called a virtuous circle. ”

Qiao Zhenliang scolded with a smile: "Bastard logic, according to what you said, our great cause of reform does not have to do anything, and more than a billion people drink every day to achieve it?" ”

Qiao Pengju smiled and said, "Dad, I didn't say it!" ”

Qiao Mengyuan smiled: "My eldest brother is a typical speculative businessman. ”

Qiao Peng said: "Girl, what you said is not right, I am engaged in financial investment, you are in industry, although we have different ways, but the ultimate goal is the same, all for profit." Fighting big with small and getting the maximum benefit with the least investment is our ultimate goal. ”

Qiao Zhenliang reminded them: "You can't just think about making money in business, while reaping economic benefits, you should also pay attention to social benefits, in this regard, Mengyuan is doing better than you, donating education, investing in charity, and doing a lot of good things that are beneficial to the society and the people in Jiangcheng." ”

Qiao Pengju said: "I have always had reservations about charity, I admit that there are indeed many people in this society who really need help, but a large part of them do not really need assistance, you look at those people begging along the street, there are hands and feet, they can obviously go to farm and work, why choose this kind of life without work?" Sacrificing dignity in exchange for money, this kind of person does not deserve sympathy at all, I have heard that there are many beggars who earn more than 1,000 yuan a month, and this kind of income is dwarfed even by the public officials of ZF, right? ”

Qiao Zhenliang frowned and said, "You don't want to give love yourself, and you shouldn't have such an attitude." ”

Qiao Peng said: "Dad, I know you don't like to hear this, what do we like to do in China?" What is the principle of donation? Consciously voluntary, why do you have to come up with so many forms, and what is the purpose? It's nothing more than deceiving the kind people with a few tears and coaxing some money out of everyone's pockets, but what about the money donated? I don't believe it's all used on the victims, and there are not a few officials who are corrupt and dismissed every day because of these things. ”

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Boy, I found that there is something wrong with your thinking. ”

Qiao Peng said: "Dad, you are in a high position, I don't know some of the following situations, in fact, there is no difference between human society and the animal world, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, only in this way can society develop, thinking about a bowl of water in everything will only drag down the development of the legs." ”

Qiao Zhenliang's face was already very ugly, and he snorted: "You fart!" We are a socialist country, the arguments you said are all capitalist society, our Qiao family is a ** family, why did you have such a thing? ”

Qiao Mengyuan saw that her father was really angry, and hurriedly glanced at her eldest brother.

Qiao Pengju smiled and said: "Dad, your prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, I drank two more drinks tonight, and I can say whatever comes to mind, but don't be like me." He got up just in time and fled.

Qiao Zhenliang said angrily: "This bastard boy, what kind of filthy mess is in his head? ”

Meng Chuanmei smiled: "You, the child is so old, it is normal to have his own ideas, you can not accept it, but you must also persuade him in a tactful way." ”

Qiao Zhenliang got up and said, "Sleep, don't bother to talk nonsense with him!" ”

Zhang Yang went to the governor's office early in the morning to visit his future father-in-law, Governor Song Huaiming. Although Song Huaiming was very busy, he still found time to meet Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang briefly reported on the preparation for the construction of the Jiangcheng New Airport Project.

Song Huaiming listened very carefully, and interrupted Zhang Yang to inquire carefully at the key point.

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he focused on the theme of this visit: "Governor Song, we are very tight in terms of funds, the construction of such a large project as the new airport, just in terms of funds, more than 100 million yuan, at present, more than 300 million yuan have been raised from bank loans and various parties, and there is still a big gap in funds." ”

Song Huaiming said with a smile: "If there is a gap in funds, you can strive for social investment, you used to be engaged in investment promotion, you don't need me to teach you this, right?" ”

Zhang Yang understood in his heart, it seems that it is the same everywhere, and it is not so easy to get money, Zhang Yang didn't go around the bend anymore, and said with a smile: "I heard that the province has set Jiangcheng Airport as a five-year key project. ”

Song Huaiming nodded and said, "Yes, there are many key projects set this time, not only Jiangcheng Airport. ”

Zhang Yang said: "There are also first, second and third key projects, and our Jiangcheng new airport should be the top priority, right?" ”

Song Huaiming laughed, he couldn't see that this kid was asking for money in a roundabout way, Song Huaiming said: "Zhang Yang, the province will indeed give a certain amount of financial support to key projects, Jiangcheng New Airport is also one of the key projects, Nancy's deep-water port project is also very important, as for how much support to give, it will be decided after discussion by our provincial Standing Committee." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Nancy's economic foundation is much better than Jiangcheng, I don't want to step on others to improve Jiangcheng's status, Nancy and Jiangcheng are both children of Pinghai, but ten fingers also have a long and short ah!" Two biological flesh and blood, one is rich and the other is bubbling, Pinghai, the father, has to focus on it, right? Whether it is the icing on the cake or the charcoal in the snow, please consider it carefully. ”

Song Huaiming was amused by the flamboyant analogy, and he smiled: "Don't cry with me here, the Standing Committee will be held immediately, I promise you, put forward these things you said at the Standing Committee, and try to help the Jiangcheng New Airport Project win strong financial support." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Thank you, Governor Song!" "Today is an office matter, this is the ZF organ, Zhang Daguan honestly called Governor Song.

Song Huaiming really kept his promise, and at the Standing Committee meeting that day, he raised the issue of the new airport in Jiangcheng. The construction of Nancy deep-water port and Jiangcheng new airport is the two most important projects in Pinghai's next five-year plan, but which of these two projects is more important, and who should the provincial finance lean more towards? Until now, it is still not determined, the difference between the key project and the top priority is definitely very big, Nancy and Jiangcheng everyone wants to be this top priority, but Jiangcheng in this regard is obviously not as good as Nancy Lingtong, their work has seriously lagged behind.

Song Huaiming said: "I propose to promote the Jiangcheng new airport project to our Pinghai next five-year plan of the key project, all members of the Standing Committee know that Jiangcheng is the leading city in the north of Pinghai, and over the years, the economic development of the north of Pinghai is lagging behind, the construction of the new airport is an opportunity to promote the development of Jiangcheng and even the entire north of Pinghai, I think it is necessary to give Jiangcheng strong support in finance." ”

Qiao Zhenliang, secretary of the provincial party committee, said with a smile: "Governor Song has a lot of feelings for Jiangcheng!" Our province's financial focus on which city to support is indeed a tangled thing, Jiangcheng Nancy is all Pinghai's own flesh and blood, if you want to engage in egalitarianism, a bowl of water is level, but let the funds be dispersed, can not play the best effect, so we have to use the money in the most critical place. He paused, took a sip of the teacup, and continued: "The gap between the north and south of Pinghai's economy is a fact, the previous leaders have not changed, we want to change, and it is by no means possible in a short period of time. Our ZF finances are to be spent on projects that are likely to reap the greatest benefits. ”

Executive Vice Governor Zhao Jiting said: "If you think about the importance of civil airports and international deep-water ports, you will know that although Jiangcheng Airport is important, it cannot be compared with the significance of Nancy deep-water port. ”

Song Huaiming said: "From the immediate point of view, from the limited scope, Jiangcheng Airport is definitely not as profitable as Nancy deep-water port, but please don't forget, what is the biggest problem in front of us?" What is the biggest problem in Pinghai? It is the uneven economic development of the north and the south, if we can not change this situation in time, this economic imbalance will become more and more serious in the future, we can regard Pinghai as a train, the power of the locomotive is very sufficient, but the back of the continuous increase of trailer, the burden of the locomotive will become heavier and heavier, and the train will become impossible to run at high speed. The previous leadership had already discovered this problem and tried to change the uneven economic development between the North and the South. We must face up to this problem, and if we allow this imbalance to continue, the future of Pinghai will inevitably be affected. ”

Executive Vice Governor Zhao Jiting said: "But economic development must be focused, our financial expenditure is also limited, the development of the south is to enhance the power of this locomotive, only the power is sufficient, Pinghai this train can run." ”

Qiao Zhenliang did not speak, Nancy deep-water port and Jiangcheng new airport are the key projects of Pinghai in the next five years, will bring huge impact and development opportunities to the local area, the question of who is the most important is not simple, on the surface it is the problem of the deep-water port and the new airport, in fact, the policy of the province focuses on the south or the north of the problem, this problem has existed as early as the time of Gu Yunzhi, to the later period, Gu Yunzhi once thought that he was too focused on the development of the southern economy, which caused the uneven development of the north and the south, It is a regret of his ruling career. Qiao Zhenliang knew that Song Huaiming's words were reasonable, but what Zhao Jiting said was also very right, balancing the economic development of the north and the south is by no means something that can be seen overnight, and if you want to see the benefits and achieve development in a short period of time, the best decision is to push the locomotive forward as much as possible.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "I heard that there was a similar debate on the issue of whether the National Economic Development Zone was set up in Jiangcheng or Lanshan, and I would like to ask you, why did you choose Lanshan instead of Jiangcheng in the first place?" ”

All the members of the Standing Committee did not speak, and the original choice should be said to be Gu Yunzhi's choice, and most of the members of the Standing Committee still agreed to settle the national economic development zone in Jiangcheng, and according to the current development, Gu Yunzhi's decision is undoubtedly correct, and the economic development situation of Jiangcheng is not suitable for the establishment of a large-scale national economic development zone at all.

Song Huaiming said: "The development zone and the current infrastructure are two different things, Secretary Qiao mentioned this matter, but also proves that our policy has always been inclined to the south, the same part of Pinghai, we can not continue to ignore the backwardness of the north, we must do everything we can to shorten or even eliminate this gap, only in this way, Pinghai can become a close and united collective, in order to take a step forward quickly!" ”

Qiao Zhenliang smiled and said: "What everyone said makes sense, let's skip this matter for the time being and make a decision later." ”

After the Standing Committee, Qiao Zhenliang and Song Huaiming walked together, and Song Huaiming said in a low voice: "Secretary Qiao, what are your plans in mind?" ”

Qiao Zhenliang still had that smile on his face, which made people unable to see through his depth, Qiao Zhenliang said: "Huaiming, I feel that your performance today is a little more radical." ”

Song Huaiming also smiled: "Secretary Qiao, I'm anxious for the future of Pinghai, a person with sound limbs and a lame man, which of them do you think can run faster?" ”

Qiao Zhenliang said: "I also know that the economic gap between the north and the south of Pinghai is very large, and I also want to shorten this gap. ”

Song Huaiming said: "There is the best opportunity in front of us. ”

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Can just building an airport achieve such a purpose? He looked skeptical.

Song Huaiming said: "After the completion of the new airport in Jiangcheng, the city's advantages in the regional center in the north are becoming more and more obvious, the center is not what we talk about can be realized, but to have a complete set of complete hardware and software supporting facilities, the urban environment of Jiangcheng is constantly changing, the development momentum of the past two years is also good, with the railway station reconstruction project, the completion of the new airport project, Jiangcheng, the old industrial city, will be able to rejuvenate." ”

Qiao Zhenliang said: "The icing on the cake and sending charcoal in the snow are indeed things that make people think about it, and sometimes, it is not as easy to make a decision as imagined." The deep-water port and the new airport have been launched, it is imperative, all we have to do is policy and financial support, the deep-water port contains huge business opportunities, the benefits that can be obtained in the future can be seen and touched, and the influence and development of the new airport only exist in our expectations, Huaiming, you also have to consider this matter, can not have too many emotional factors mixed in. Qiao Zhenliang's first few sentences are still the same thing, but the last sentence made Song Huaiming a little unhappy, Song Huaiming couldn't hear it, his so-called emotional factor meant that Zhang Yang was the on-site commander of the Jiangcheng New Airport project, Song Huaiming asked himself if he was a person who took into account the overall situation, and he did not have any selfish intentions in this matter.

Song Huaiming said: "I don't mean to give up the deep-water port project, Nancy's economic situation is much better than Jiangcheng, in comparison, Jiangcheng needs more provincial financial support, we try to take into account both sides, but also to have a focus." ”

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Recently, people have come from both sides of Nancy and Jiangcheng, their purpose is to get more money from the province, there is really no way, who else will the children find if they don't reach out to their parents when they encounter something?" We can't help but give, but we can give more and less, and it is a question of who to give or how much! ”

The two walked while talking and broke up in front of the elevator.

Today's Standing Committee obviously did not achieve Song Huaiming's goal, Zhao Jiting jumped out to oppose him, Zhao Jiting has always been Gu Yunzhi's right-hand man, and is also a persistent supporter of the development of the southern economy, Song Huaiming proposed to balance the gap between the north and the south today, and Gu Yunzhi's political views in the past are different, as Gu Yunzhi's protégé Zhao Jiting came out to oppose it is normal, but Zhao Jiting has been silent for a long time, today's sudden high profile made Song Huaiming vigilant, Recently, many important departments in the province have quietly changed, the deputy director of the public security department is Gao Zhonghe, who was transferred from Nanwu City, Yun'an, and Rong Pengfei, who was strongly recommended by Song Huaiming, was suspended at the last moment, and the person who played a key role in it must be Qiao Zhenliang, secretary of the provincial party committee. Song Huaiming doesn't know Gao Zhonghe himself, so he can't evaluate his work ability, but Gao Zhonghe will undoubtedly become the future director of the Public Security Department in Pinghai. With the arrival of several old Standing Committee members, the Pinghai Provincial Standing Committee will also face a round of replacement of the old and the new, Song Huaiming does not dare to be sloppy about this matter now, there must be a silent battle between him and Qiao Zhenliang about the division of forces.
