Heyang. Quiet and quaint Xinghai Road. Quiet as always.

Jiang Siqing sat on a rattan chair. Quietly enjoy the sunlight coming in through the window. The early spring sun still seems to be showing a chill. You can sit in a heated room. But I still feel lazy. I don't want to move.

Jiang Siqing is 60 years old this year. In two years, it will take a back seat. Years of life in the sea have left him physically and mentally exhausted.

He was once like a brother to a colleague. Support each other. But it's just for a certain mayor's seat. This colleague he had always regarded as his own. But suddenly he was put on a side. Nearly knocked him into the abyss from which he could never recover. This gave him a deeper understanding of politics. The struggle is even more incomprehensible. It also made him. Step by step from an unknown kid. It has become a powerful situation today. Casually stomp your feet. can cause the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee to tremble in the political arena of Hwacheon.

But now. Day by day as you get older. The body is aging. Becoming overwhelmed. Jiang Siqing's desire for power. It is also becoming more and more indifferent. Unlike those who are reluctant to let go of their power. What he wants to do most now. It's about enjoying your own tranquility every day. Spent these two years peacefully. And then honorably retired. What a deceit. What intrigues. It has nothing to do with him anymore. Returned to the residence. He is no longer the commanding deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. And just an ordinary old man.

I don't know how long it took. The sun is gradually turning westward. The light also dimmed a little. The doorbell rang. Jiang Siqing frowned. It's different from previous years. What he likes most now is quiet. I don't like people to bother me. Many people have eaten after the closed door. And there were fewer and fewer people coming.

Soon. He heard the sound of Li's mother going out to open the door. There was even a slight sound of talking. I didn't take it too seriously. There's Mama Li. Naturally, they will lift themselves to block the car. Not a last resort and important guests. He didn't want to see visitors. Especially outside of work.

Not for a while. But I saw Mama Li coming over. Some periods of time Ai Ai said: "Secretary Jiang." Xiao Guo from Dongping is here. ”

Jiang Siqing frowned. Pursed lips. Then he waved his hand and said, "Let him in." ”

"Oh." Li's mother went out in response.

Not much. Then I saw a tall figure walking in. It was Guo Xufeng, who was the mayor of Dongping City at the time. But at this time, he. It doesn't have the momentum of a dragon and a tiger in Dongping. On the contrary, his expression was cautious and restrained. In front of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. He's the mayor. It's nothing.

Seen sitting on a wicker chair. Jiang Siqing with a smile on his face. Guo Xufeng just wanted to say hello. saw Jiang Siqing smiling and pointing to the small round stool opposite. He said to him, "Sit down." ”

Guo Xufeng sat down with some trepidation. Although compared to the office chairs and sofas that I sit on weekdays. This little stool is small and hard. It is extremely uncomfortable to sit up. But at the moment. But there was a very satisfied smile on his face.

"Xiao Guo. How do you have time to come and see me. Come to Heyang on a business trip. Jiang Siqing asked with a smile.

Strictly speaking. Guo Xufeng and Jiang Siqing don't have a deep friendship. However, Guo Xufeng used to work in Jiang Siqing's hometown. For Jiang Siqing's hometown and relatives. I have a lot of care. And take this as an opportunity. I have visited Jiang Siqing several times. Jiang Siqing treated him as a young and promising cadre. The impression is also not bad.

"yes." Guo Xufeng said with a smile: "Come to the province for a meeting." After a while. Isn't Heyang here going to hold a China Expo? We Dongping are also going to be at the fair. Introduce our Dongping to the whole Sichuan and even the whole country. Strive to attract investment. Accelerate local economic development. ”

"Hmm. Not bad. Jiang Siqing nodded and said, "Now take charge of one side." It's like running a business. Know how to package and promote. Don't show your strengths. And how can we attract more projects and investments? But ah. This economic development. Nor can we ignore environmental protection and the building of spiritual civilization. Blindly pursue the speed of development. It will inevitably bring unimaginable and catastrophic consequences to the local area. ”

Jiang Siqing's words were also sensitive. In fact, when he was in charge of the local government before. It is also for the purpose of economic development. Pursue the maximization of GDP data. Even in order to attract investment. Not to mention preferential policies. They also sacrifice the local environment and the health of the population. Also all these years. to this height. Look at the angle and idea of the question. There was a change.

"yes. Everything has a degree. It is necessary to follow its original rules. It can't be done overnight. It can't be for the sake of economic construction. to pay a heavy price in other aspects. Guo Xufeng followed Jiang Siqing's words and said.

"Huh. Your Dongping has been pretty good in the past few years. Economic indicators are rising to a new level every year. Wait until the highway is repaired. Development needs to be even faster. Jiang Siqing smiled and said, "You Secretary Yang." But he's a very bold person. ”

Guo Xufeng's face was a little ugly. But then he smiled and said, "Yes." Secretary Yang has a lot of ideas. ”

"No matter how many ideas you have, they have to be turned into reality. Otherwise, it's just a pipe dream. Jiang Siqing said: "Our economic development in Huachuan. Originally, there was a lag due to regional issues. I want to break this shackle. More of this kind of pioneering thinking is needed. Leading cadres who dare to think and do. ”

Guo Xufeng couldn't help but ponder in his heart. Jiang Siqing said this. Isn't it a bit of a knock on oneself. How did he never know. The province's evaluation of Yang Weiguo will be so high.

I thought for a moment. Guo Xufeng said cautiously: "Secretary Jiang's teachings are right. However, the all-round development of the locality. It is inseparable from a stable and united situation. Investigation by the working group of the Commission for Discipline Inspection in Dongping. It makes people panic. And so on. It's not good to do the work. ”

"Don't do bad things. I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. What is there to be afraid of. Jiang Siqing said unhappily: "If you say so." Then what do we need the Commission for Discipline Inspection to do? I see. Now many of our cadres. I just don't know how to find the reason in myself. ”

Guo Xufeng was red-faced when Jiang Siqing said this. Immediately. He added: "Of course, there is nothing wrong with normal investigations. But the lover of the head of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee is suspected of embezzlement and bribery. It seems that there is no need for the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to come down to the investigation team. I'm afraid. If this discipline inspection committee is used as a tool. Casually use it against dissidents. Framed. Splash dirty water on others. That would be unfair. ”

Speaking of which, in the end. He couldn't help but grit his teeth. Yang Weiguo's counterattack came quickly. It's only been a Spring Festival. The attack on his side has not yet been fully deployed. Investigation Group of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. has quietly come to Dongping. and controlled and investigated Pan Jiangxiang's lover Fu Shan, who was the person in charge of the city's pharmaceutical company. All at once disrupted their steps.

Fu Shan's matter. Guo Xufeng didn't take it too seriously. What worries him even more. Will this involve Pan Jiangxiang? To know. Although Pan Jiangxiang is not his most powerful ally in Dongping. But the other party has just come up. It ended miserably. Who will dare to join their camp in the future. Maybe even the current irons. will be shaken.

Of course. For Yang Weiguo's move. Guo Xufeng was also convinced. People from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection can be used at every turn. The background of Yang Weiguo's relations in the capital. It can be seen. If it wasn't a last resort. He was also unwilling to choose to be an enemy of Yang Weiguo.

Jiang Siqing frowned. He said unhappily: "You are a little arbitrary when you say this. For violations of discipline. No matter where the investigation team is investigating. It makes no difference. The people below you. There shouldn't be any complaints. Those who are clear are self-purifying. The eyes of the masses are bright. Besides. If it really comes up with the kind of problem you are worried about. Our province will not sit idly by. ”

Guo Xufeng was a little more down-to-earth. Although Jiang Siqing did not say it explicitly. But he could feel it. The province for this Central Commission for Discipline Inspection down to investigate the team. Skip the province directly and go to Dongping to start an investigation. There are still many dissatisfactions. said with a smile: "Comrade Pan Jiangxiang." I still understand. Not to mention whether his lover Fu Shan is corrupt and bribery has not yet been investigated. Even if there is a real problem. He was probably unaware of it. ”

"If you don't know, you can leave yourself clean." Jiang Siqing slammed the cup in his hand on the table. He said angrily, "I don't believe it." Living under one roof. Sleep in the same bed. His wife did such a thing. He would not know at all. If that's the case. Then he is a leading cadre. It's too unqualified. I can't even notice this little thing at home. How can you expect him to observe the people's feelings? ”

Guo Xufeng was a little speechless. He also knows. Similar to Jiang Siqing, an old revolutionary who is about to retire. He hated corruption and bribery. Even with Pan Jiangxiang, he didn't have a good impression. Thereupon. He shifted the subject. He also spoke indignantly about the various problems that arose in the process of demolition and relocation of Hong'an Construction. Of course. There is no mention of Yang Weiguo in it. There is also no mention of the relationship between Yang Weiguo and Hong'an Construction.

According to his vision. After Jiang Siqing heard this. It's going to be furious. Unexpectedly. When he finished. Jiang Siqing drank tea slowly. After a long while, he said lightly: "Demolition on this." There are a lot of questions. Indeed, it should be of our concern. ”

Guo Xufeng's face was stunned for a moment. He couldn't figure it out at all. How could Jiang Siqing be so indifferent. Could it be the mind of the big guy. It's like the sea. Mysterious and unpredictable.

He sat on pins and needles for a while. Guo Xufeng hurriedly said goodbye. Today's trip. and did not achieve his intended goal. On the contrary, it made him even more confused.

And looked at Guo Xufeng's back as he gradually moved away. Jiang Siqing was silent for a long time. But he turned his head and said to Li's mother expressionlessly: "This Guo Xufeng will come back in the future." Don't let him in. ”
