On April 20 of that year, Jinjiang City experienced its first unmistakable heavy rain since the beginning of spring, with the Meteorological Observatory reporting more than 100 millimeters of rainfall. -

The water level of the Geumgang River suddenly rose by 2.5 meters, and the water level of the Geumcheon River, 100 kilometers away, also rose by 1.8 meters.

The sky has not yet been opened, the sky is still drizzling, and the first flood control and flood control simulation exercise in China was suddenly staged in Jinjiang City.

This was Chang Ning's idea, in order to test the practical effect of the emergency response plan he designed.

Yu Wenliang, secretary of the municipal party committee, agreed to Chang Ning's proposal.

Because Chang Ning, the second-in-command, can be a man, and he does it very well, he served as the chief director and regulator of the "exercise", and pushed Yu Wenliang to a position where tens of thousands of people are in the limelight.

At around 9 o'clock in the afternoon, a convoy of more than a dozen high-end cars drove into the compound of the municipal party committee in the drizzle, and the three giants headed by Ji in Xijiang Province came down, as well as several governors of the provincial government and responsible persons of relevant departments directly under the provincial government.

Yu Wenliang led the members of the team to stand at the gate of the municipal party committee compound to greet the visiting leaders, and what surprised and nervous him was Li Qingyi, secretary general of the State Council and deputy commander-in-chief of the National Flood Control and Flood Control Headquarters, and Gao Zijun, minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, as well as several central-level media, and the first and second leaders of various cities who came to observe one after another.

This is a play that cannot be smashed.

After shaking hands and greeting, Li Weiqing asked loudly, "Wenliang, what about Xiao Chang?" So many leaders are coming, why didn't he come to greet him? ”

Yu Wenliang said with a smile: "He is the chief director today, and he specially gave us a problem, and he asked me to tell the leaders, because the water level of the Jinjiang River is rising, I can't come down to greet him, please understand." ”

"Haha, this guy, a belly of ghost ideas, I have a good show to watch today, I hope we don't smash it."

In addition to the dozen telephones on the central square table, the most eye-catching thing is the large map of the Jinjiang River on the wall, along both sides of the river, there are also hundreds of indicators of various colors, which clearly show the schematic diagram of the 120-kilometer-long river surface of the Jinjiang River, which is still a new thing for the fifty or sixty leaders at all levels seated in the conference room.

Chang Ning, who was busy, shook hands with the leaders one by one, and when it was the turn of Minister Gao Zijun of the Ministry of Water Resources, Chang Ning immediately smiled, "Minister Gao, you are welcome to come to inspect and guide the work." ”

Gao Zijun said politely: "It's observation and learning, not inspection and guidance." ”

Li Weiqing said with a smile: "Xiao Chang, people gave you 20 million all of a sudden, you have to come and listen to the sound of water." ”

Li Qingyi, deputy commander-in-chief of the National Flood Control and Flood Control Headquarters next to him, smiled: "No wonder Mayor Xiaochang smiled so brightly at Lao Gao, it turned out that he made money, and he is still a rich man." ”

"Haha, money can make ghosts grind." Li Weiqing burst out laughing.

Chang Ning accompanied several leaders to laugh a few words, looked at his watch, and immediately put away his smile and said to Li Weiqing: "Li Ji, when the time comes, please take your position immediately, your assistants are Comrade Yu Wenliang and Comrade Xu Shanwen." ”

Li Weiqing raised his hand and said loudly, "Begin." ”

……

The flood prevention and flood control drill in Jinjiang City lasted for two days and two nights.

After the summary meeting, most of the leaders went back, and only Li Weiqing, the secretary of the provincial party committee, stayed with Gao Zijun.

Li Qingyi, deputy commander-in-chief of the National Flood Control and Flood Control Headquarters, took the first step and was accompanied by Governor Chen Hailin to leave.

In Yu Wenliang's office, Gao Zijun looked at Chang Ning and asked, "Mayor Xiao Chang, are you interested in coming to the capital to work?" ”

When Li Weiqing next to him heard this, he smiled and said: "Lao Gao, if Xiaochang wants to go to the capital to work, do you need to worry about you and me." ”

"Lao Li, I didn't mean that, our Ministry of Water Resources lacks talents like Xiao Chang." Gao Zijun said with a smile.

Li Weiqing waved his hand and said: "Lao Gao, you stop me, take advantage of the heart that died early, and want to dig people and go to other provinces and cities." ”

"Haha, I said Lao Li, you're too stingy."

Shaking his head, Li Weiqing said: "Xiao Chang is in the stage of training and accumulation, staying at the grassroots level is the best choice, if he goes to your Ministry of Water Resources now, at most he will be a department-level cadre, and he will not play any role." ”

Gao Zijun nodded and smiled: "That's what I said, don't mention it, don't mention it." ”

Li Weiqing looked at Chang Ning and said: "Minister Gao is a big expert of the Ministry of Water Resources, and I left him here to help us sum up the lessons and lessons of this flood control exercise. ”

Chang Ning knew that Li Weiqing was hinting that he went to Beijing to see the general secretary this time, and planned to let Gao Zijun accompany him, and said in his heart that it was true, these two people worked together when they were young, and now they are a hardcore alliance in politics.

"I don't express an opinion on the matter between your leaders." Chang Ning thought to himself, anyway, I gave you the favor, it doesn't matter if you enjoy it exclusively or share it with others.

Li Weiqing took a few puffs of cigarette, looked at Yu Wenliang and Chang Ning and said, "Wenliang, you have to support Xiao Chang's work in the city government." ”

These words are meaningful, how can Yu Wenliang not understand that Li Weiqing is tantamount to telling him that he must unite with Chang Ning in the future.

"Li Ji, don't worry, Xiao Chang and I have been working together very well, and there will be no problem in the future."

Yu Wenliang was telling the truth.

At least in this flood control exercise, Yu Wenliang showed his face greatly, so that he scored a lot of political points, for an official who is determined to progress, this kind of public performance is a must, if it is not for Chang Ning's initiative to "let Xian", he would not have this opportunity.

Chang Ning accompanied Gao Zijun out and sat down outside Yu Wenliang's office, Gao Zijun waved his hand, and Yu Wenliang's secret walked out with interest.

There is no need to guess, Li Weiqing will definitely explain to Yu Wenliang that the key to the leadership of Jinjiang City is the unity between Yu Wenliang and Chang Ning, and Li Weiqing must of course emphasize it.

Gao Zijun patted Chang Ning's shoulder and smiled meaningfully, "Mayor Xiao Chang, you are very good at being a person." ”

"Minister Gao, what do you mean...... I don't really understand. Chang Ning began to pretend to be stupid again.

Gao Zijun smiled and whispered, "I'm still pretending to be stupid, not enough friends." ”

"Hehe, I really don't understand, and I ask the leader for some advice."

Gao Zijun said with a smile: "Yu Wenliang was not conspicuous before, he was relatively backward under Lao Li, if he wants to advance to the position of Governor Fu, he has enough qualifications and is not very famous, you let him improve his popularity this time, and his problem does not exist." ”

"Hehe, as Lao Yu's friend, I should help him." Chang Ning smiled humbly.

"So, I said that you can be a man, looking at our system, the first and second in command, there are very few people who get along with each other, you can do this, it's not easy."

Chang Ning said with a smile: "Thank you Minister Gao for your teachings, I didn't think about it so much, I just hope that the team can work together and do more practical things for the people." ”

Li Weiqing and Gao Zijun stayed in Jinjiang for one more night and left with a comfortable mood.

The main theme of officialdom still revolves around the best forces and interests.

Before the meeting of the Standing Committee on the adjustment of cadres at the department level, Yu Wenliang once again invited Chang Ning to his office.

"Xiao Chang, the adjustment of department-level cadres must be stepped up, just the day before yesterday, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee was still urging it."

Chang Ning looked at Yu Wenliang and said slowly: "Lao Yu, do you want to hold a meeting to discuss?" ”

Yu Wenliang smiled understandingly, "Your old colleague Fu Ji has just been appointed and is not familiar with life, we can come up with a plan first." ”

"This is not in accordance with the procedure?" Chang Ning sat down on the sofa, threw Yu Wenliang a cigarette, and took one himself.

Yu Wenliang waved his hand, with a confident face, "The program is dead, the person is alive, just let the two of us decide." ”

Chang Ning sighed, "Lao Yu, you are more like the municipal party committee now." ”

"Haha, I've always been the secretary of the municipal party committee."

is in a period of high mood, Yu Wenliang is anxious to return the favor to Chang Ning.

When you shouldn't be polite, you should never be polite, this is Chang Ning's mentality at this time.

Or Chang Ning went to the capital, and Yu Wenliang finalized the adjustment plan, Yu Wenliang's posture was higher, and he also gave up the position of the director of the municipal finance bureau to Chang Ning, which is a sensitive position, which is equivalent to giving up the financial power of the first hand, Chang Ning secretly guessed in his heart, Yu Wenliang obviously gave up his interests in Jinjiang, he didn't have many reliable subordinates in Jinjiang, at this time, I'm afraid half of his mind is looking forward to the position of Governor Fu.

This reshuffle of department-level cadres is not only a victory for Changning, but also a victory for Markham County.

Li Xiaolun, the secretary of the Markham County Party Committee, was transferred to the secretary of the Jinnan District Party Committee;

Pi Chunling, director of the Organization Department of the Markham County Party Committee, was transferred to the Jinnan District Party Committee to pay for the record and act as the district head;

Markham County Executive Director Fu Gao Ping, transferred to the director of the Municipal Finance Bureau;

Li Zeshui, the magistrate of Markham County, was transferred to the director of the Municipal Planning Commission;

Pi Chunli, the magistrate of Markham County, was transferred to the director of the Municipal Personnel Bureau.

More importantly, Markham County transferred five senior officials, and the city did not send a single person to fill the vacancies, and all the vacant positions were decided by Chen Maoyun, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Markham County Party Committee.

After Yu Wenliang put away the pen and notebook, he took the initiative to say to Chang Ning: "Xiao Chang, Zheng Zhiwei is there, and I am responsible for explaining to him." ”

"Lao Yu, then I'll trouble you."

Regarding the third-in-command of the little white-faced Zheng Zhiwei, although Chang Ning giggles with him on the surface, he actually hates him in his heart, because he knows himself too well.

As a person who made a living by begging when he was a child, he can have today's identity and status, and Chang Ning's mentality has inevitably changed dramatically.

The current Changning is a little unwilling to be mentioned about the embarrassment of the past.

People are always like this, their personalities can remain the same, but with the change of the environment, the perception of things quietly changes.
