Chang Ning did not summarize Sun Huayang's hair in the Standing Committee, but Hu Zimao, who followed him in, greatly admired Sun Huayang's performance, and habitually summed up one, two, three, four, five.

Chang Ning shrugged, sat down at the desk, and said disappreciatively: "Damn, Sun Huayang is at this level, it's too disappointing for me, straightforward, not subtle at all, however, this shows that Governor Wang behind him must have the upper hand in the battle for the position of provincial party secretary, otherwise Sun Huayang would not dare to behave so strongly with ten guts." ”

"Xiao Chang, I agree with your later analysis, but I don't agree with your previous judgment." Hu Zimao said seriously, "Sun Huayang is so straightforward, at least the following benefits, openly break with the people of the Mu faction, win our support, exert the power of the leader, and deter us dirt buns, and at the same time clearly warn everyone, do not make small moves behind your back, change the image of weak and powerless talents, and win more people below to lean on him. ”

"Hehe, bearded, you can figure it out by yourself." Chang Ning teased.

Hu Zimao also laughed, "But I'm worried about Liu Baiming, it's winter, it's almost the New Year's holiday, and I have to go to the countryside to squat, do you think it's pitiful?" ”

"Phew, when did you have more Fu Bodhisattva heart in your beard, do you really have to worry, or worry about how Liu Baiming will carry out his work in the future."

At this time, the door was pushed open, and it was Chen Lin, the secretary of the Chengguan Town Party Committee, who entered.

"It's good, it's good, Lao Hu will go with you, let's go to the War Restaurant for a few drinks."

Hu Zimao quipped: "What, the sun is coming from the west mountain, and you iron rooster also have a treat?" ”

Chen Lin pointed at Chang Ning and said with a smile: "An old friend of Xiao Chang has returned from afar, and specially asked me to invite Xiao Chang, Director Yu has already passed, so I will leave you two, go quickly." ”

Chang Ning and Hu Zimao didn't ask much, and when they saw that the time to get off work was approaching, they slipped away with their briefcases, which is also the benefit of being a leader, no one dares to care if you arrive late and leave early.

Changning has not been to the restaurant for a long time, and the new decoration and furnishings are keeping pace with the times to learn from the first area to open in the south, and the term box was introduced to Qingyang County at that time.

In addition to Yu Jianyun, director of the public security bureau, Zheng Liuhe, director of the county government office, Chen Lin's partner Liu Guocai, Luo Tiegui and Xiao Guoying, the first and second leaders of Sanshu Township, and Yu Tinghua, the secretary of the Shuiyang Township Party Committee and the commander-in-chief of the Daqingshan Reservoir Project, are all old acquaintances of Changning when he was in Shuiyang Township.

There was a middle-aged fat man sitting on the single sofa, and when he saw Chang Ning and the other three coming in, Ma stood up, and when Chang Ning saw it, he recognized it after only a second or two, "Isn't this Director Zheng Pingnan?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Zheng Pingnan smiled respectfully: "Thank you Chang Ji, you still remember me three years ago." ”

It turned out that this fat man was Zheng Pingnan, who he met when Chang Ning returned to Shuiyang Commune to fight drought three years ago, the director of the Chengdong District Supply and Marketing Cooperative, which could be said to be no deal, in fact, Chang Ning and Zheng Pingnan had only met once, after he arrived at the Party Committee of Shuiyang Commune, he had intercepted the drought-fighting materials transported to Haimen Commune by the District Supply and Marketing Cooperative, it was this Zheng Pingnan, and Cai Zhengxiang, the Party Committee of Baishui Commune at that time, and Mo Guoqiang, the Party Committee of Haimen Commune, and the three of them together to ask for guilt. The supply and marketing cooperatives have also risen and fallen several times, and things are not people, and Chang Ning has never seen Zheng Pingnan again.

The old reunion, the etiquette is numerous, the Chengdong District happened to be in charge of the five communes in the Daqingshan area, everyone here is friends with Zheng Pingnan, Yu Jianyun and he are from the same township, the two of them are separated by a river, Zheng Liuhe and him are at war, Liu Guocai has been with him, Hu Zimao has been his leader, and they are all people who have some connections.

Chang Ning was pulled to the sofa by Zheng Pingnan and sat down, and he had to hand him tea and light cigarettes, Chang Ning couldn't refuse, so he had to let him do what he did, "Director Zheng, don't be busy, sit down and talk about it, where have you been in the past three years, I asked Lao Hu to inquire several times, and they all said that after you resigned, you took your wife and children to the south, I thought you wouldn't come back." ”

After everyone sat down, Zheng Pingnan said with emotion.

"Leaders, I can't compare with you, you have been proven, and will continue to be proven, are suitable for living in this system, a person with a dual background like Xiao Chang, as long as he is willing and works hard enough, he will go far, far away, and I, the mistakes I made when I was young, it is inevitable to pay the price and leave quietly, of course, I have also hesitated, what else can a forty-year-old man do with nothing? It's actually quite good to stay and be a small section-level cadre and mix peacefully until retirement, but an old soldier I knew in the army didn't agree, and it was he who came from Shenzhen and forced me to resign and go to sea. ”

"Don't hide it from everyone, it was very hard at the beginning, thanks to the help of the old war, there were a lot of detours, at the beginning, the door of the business could not be touched, often got up early and felt the hard day in the dark, even a little work could not be done, fortunately I did not give up, and I finally survived."

Chen Lin pointed at Zheng Pingnan and said to Chang Ning: "Lao Zheng is now famous, he is a rich man, the big boss of a construction company, this time he led a team of more than 100 people to come back from Shenzhen. ”

Chang Ning said with a smile: "Seize the opportunity, preconceived, Boss Zheng really has a unique vision, we in Qingyang need a pioneer like you." ”

Zheng Pingnan said: "County Magistrate Chang, my company is now temporarily affiliated with the county No. 1 Construction Company, but I want to enter the Qingyang Development Zone independently, and I ask County Magistrate Chang to give me more support." As he spoke, he took out his business card, put his hands together, and respectfully handed it to Chang Ning.

The business card is printed with a red letter, the general manager of Tsingshan Construction Engineering Company, Chang Ning is also solemnly put away, polite but not lacking enthusiasm said: "Lao Zheng, welcome you back, and welcome you to lead the company to enter the development zone, you can talk to the development zone management committee to discuss specific cooperation matters, and enjoy the same preferential policy treatment as foreign investors." ”

"County Magistrate Chang, thank you, I think it can be understood in this way, I am very hopeful to get the opportunity to cooperate with Fan's Group Company?"

Chang Ning nodded and smiled: "Good Boss Zheng, businessmen are businessmen, your understanding is right, Ms. Jin Weiyang, the executive chairman of Fan's Group Company, will arrive in our Qingyang tomorrow, and then will complete the site selection of more than 20 projects, if Boss Zheng is willing to cooperate, I think she will give you a chance." ”

Without waiting for Zheng Pingnan to speak, Hu Zimao smiled and said: "Lao Zheng, you are lucky enough, Young Master Chang's words are nine words, you are waiting to get rich." ”

Zheng Pingnan said thank you, and suddenly said: "County Magistrate Chang, Pingnan has one more thing, I want to ask County Magistrate Chang to be the master." ”

"Oh? Lao Zheng, you said. ”

"County Magistrate Chang, when I returned to Qingyang this time, the first thing I did was to go to Caijiazhuang, thinking that Cai Zhengxiang and I were also brothers, but I didn't expect that now we are separated by yin and yang...... I heard that because of the construction needs of the development zone, his tomb will be relocated and rebuilt, and I have agreed with my uncle, aunt and sister-in-law that I will be fully responsible for this matter, so I would like to ask the county magistrate Chang to inscribe a few words on Cai Zhengxiang's tombstone, and I hope that the magistrate of Chang will give support. ”

The box suddenly fell silent, filled with a solemn atmosphere.

"Alas...... Lao Zheng, it's rare for you to be so affectionate, I promise you. Chang Ning nodded solemnly and said, "Actually, I have already had this idea, and the words of the tombstone have already been thought of, so I will write 'righteousness lasts forever, auspicious and Yongze', in our three counties, just look at the Mei family in Haihai County, my old uncle's handwriting is the best, I will call him, and then you send someone to find him." ”

Zheng Pingnan was busy writing it down, Luo Tiegui on the side had already heard it with moist eyes, and when it came to affection, he and Cai Zhengxiang were the deepest here, the self-defense counterattack in southern Xinjiang back then, their unit was the first to participate in the war, the grace of saving lives, the love of life and death, can be described as blood and fire, "Lao Zheng, inform everyone on the day of the grave move, we will all go to see the Zhengxiang brothers." ”

Or Chang Ning opened his mouth and pulled everyone out of the heavy memories, "Lao Zheng, you invited us here today, it can be regarded as your return appearance, in front of everyone, can I make a request?" ”

Zheng Pingnan hurriedly said: "County Magistrate Chang, please instruct, Pingnan will resolutely implement it." ”

"Lao Zheng, that's the case, this year the state issued a document, canceled the retirement replacement system in terms of personnel, one-size-fits-all behavior is ruthless, but the pain of reform, it is inevitable that someone needs to make sacrifices, starting next year, the employment situation of urban residents will be very severe, Deng County Magistrate and I are racking our brains for this, therefore, as the first private entrepreneur in Qingyang County to come back from Shenzhen, we hope you will make a little contribution in this regard."

Zheng Pingnan said happily: "No problem, to solve the employment problem of unemployed young people in urban areas, private enterprises have the responsibility to make a big difference, as long as they are willing to be contract workers, I extend my hands to welcome." ”

Hu Zimao said with a smile: "Lao Zheng, I can warn you, don't be like a capitalist, if you exploit too much, all of us here will kill you." ”

As he was talking, the door of the box was pushed open, and Chang Ning's driver, Ding Yilong, broke in breathlessly.

Ding Yilong walked up to Chang Ning's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Chang Ning slowly stood up, smiled and said to the people in the box: "Lao Zheng, everyone, I'm sorry, something happened at home, I want to go back on a horse, I will treat you another day and make amends to Lao Zheng and everyone." As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Jianyun again.

Without waiting for everyone to react, Chang Ning walked out of the box.
