Chapter 140: A Trip to Nangang (3)
Chapter 140: A Trip to Nangang (3)
Shunfeng Hotel on Qixing Road, Nangang City, in the large multi-functional banquet hall on the sixth floor, guests gathered at this moment, in addition to the political and business celebrities in the Xizhou area are basically gathered here, some friends from all over the country who have followed up and interviewed the unveiling ceremony since the morning also appeared in the banquet hall, and even the blonde and blue-eyed foreign reporters also came.
In addition, the most surprising thing is that there are still many heavyweight guests in this banquet hall tonight, and even the security standards of the banquet hall have to be abruptly raised several levels because of the arrival of these heavyweight guests.
And among these heavyweight guests, two of them had to be grandly introduced.
First of all, Mr. Guo Fangming, the big boss of Tianyue Group, is the afternoon... He had just flown from the United States by private plane to Chuncheng, the capital of Lingxi Province, and then rushed directly to Nangang by special car, and when he arrived at Nangang, it was almost half past seven o'clock. However, this did not prevent him from attending the opening ceremony of the group's Seiko Industrial Park in Nangang.
In addition, he was accompanied by Comrade Liu Kun, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, please note that it is written here as Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, without adding the prefix of the word "deputy". Yes, this new brother in the political circles of Lingxi, a member of the Central Political Bureau, and a senior ministerial-level official, is also very rare at this moment, especially today is the Lunar Lantern Festival, in this festival of reunion of thousands of families, Secretary Liu ignored his small family and traveled thousands of miles to Nangang in order to work, in addition to showing his concern for Xizhou, a big leader, but also reflecting the special status of Guo Fangming, the richest man in Taiwan, in the minds of the high-level of the provincial party committee.
And Secretary Liu came in person, and some high-level cadres of the provincial party committee and provincial government naturally came, and even some ordinary officials who accompanied him had quite high standards.
In this way, it seems that the people who participated in the cocktail party in Xizhou seem to be of a very good grade, and those who come are all lower-level cadres, most of them are at the deputy department level, and even cadres at the department level. Of course, as the host, the requirements for them should not be too harsh, and the cadres from Xizhou are also responsible for chores, so it is really not possible to do without them. Besides, the team members in Xizhou are generally relatively young, and the department-level cadres in Xizhou, except for Chen Yang and Han Boss, there are really not a few people in Xizhou, at most plus Tian Chunming, the propaganda minister who happened to be rated in the main hall last year, and the rest are basically old men who retired from the second line 800 years ago and are currently retired in the people's congress or the CPPCC.
As for the demon-level leading cadres like Chen Yang, who held the important power of the party and government before the age of 30, they have been extinct in the remote province of Lingxi for many years. Of course, he is a cadre parachuted from the central government, and he cannot be compared with others in the first place, and he is completely incomparable. And no matter if he becomes a dragon or a snake in the future, what he leaves to the domestic officialdom is destined to be an irreproducible legend.
However, at this moment, this legendary comrade had to join other colleagues of the municipal party committee and government to greet the arrival of the leaders of the provincial party committee outside the banquet hall.
Because the outer courtyard of this hotel is relatively narrow, and the leaders of the provincial party committee suddenly decided to come to the banquet, therefore, for security reasons, they did not meet them downstairs, but temporarily changed them to a relatively wide reception hall outside the door of the banquet hall.
Stepping on the soft red carpet laid temporarily, Chen Yang couldn't see any expression on his face, but Han Haitian, who was in front of him, was full of expectation, after all, Secretary Liu came in person this time, which also means that his operation this time is quite beautiful, and at the end of the month, maybe there is really hope for such a critical small step forward.
Of course, after all, it is the first brother of the provincial party committee to come, he will inevitably be a little nervous in his heart, looking forward to the anxious eyes staring straight at the exit of the aisle without concealment, and from time to time with a low voice coldly ordered the staff behind him to continue to come to report to him like a marquee, his request is very simple, although the leader did not say hello to a surprise attack, but the reception work here is still necessary to arrange the best, and the standard is also in line with the reception standard of the general secretary of the Central Committee when he passed by Xizhou ten years ago.
In comparison, as the deputy secretary of the Xizhou Municipal Party Committee, Mayor Chen Yang not only did not show much enthusiasm, but the indifferent expression on his face at this time made people look a little unhappy.
Because this project was finalized by the municipal party committee, basically all of the people who came to Nangang were also from the municipal party committee, and the mayor Chen Yang came from the government, and there was also the deputy mayor Wang who didn't have much ability but seemed to have become Chen Yang's follower.
And at this time, seeing Chen Yang's indifferent attitude, the henchmen of Han Haitian, who were waiting to greet the leader, dared not speak out. Of course, there are also many scheming cadres who watched coldly, and even sneered secretly and thought, not to mention that I didn't think it before, but now after making that unpleasant thing when I visited the industrial park, I felt that this mayor was really enough, at this time, I didn't know how to be a low-key person with his tail between his legs, and I didn't look at who Boss Guo was accompanying him. Damn, I know all day long that I have a stinky shelf to show people, this time Secretary Liu is here, see if you can still have fun? Fuck, it's best for that Taiwanese guy to visit this girl's book in front of Secretary Liu, so that he knows what it means to be a high-profile person and a low-key person
Hehe, wait and see, if you are really good, if you are really good, you will have the ability to wait for Secretary Liu to come and keep this hanging for my brother
I have to say that because Chen Yang almost made people and investors vomit blood in the morning, these cadres who were very close to Secretary Han were very dissatisfied, and naturally there were no good words in their stomachs, and there was nothing to scold.
But it's also true that this strange atmosphere has continued since the morning when I had a little unpleasantness with the investor after visiting the industrial park. Although because of Chen Yang's special identity, in the end, the prince Guo could only eat this deflated body raw, but the ghost knew what kind of distortion this guy would sing in front of Secretary Liu when he turned around.
And what he is doing now that he seems to be more or less indifferent, if he really makes the leader feel dissatisfied with it later, I am afraid that he can only end up with a disgraced ending that hurts his relatives and makes his enemies happy
To tell the truth, as Chen Yang's days in Xizhou are getting longer and longer, perhaps it is due to his personality charm, or it may be that many cadres have impure motives for speculation, in short, no matter what the reason, now a group of cadres have unconsciously gathered around him, and the weight of his words in Xizhou is not what it used to be. The cadres who have been promoted and reused by him are naturally proud of the spring breeze of chickens and dogs, but these pro-Korean cadres obviously feel the increasing pressure on their bodies, and their work is extremely awkward. Isn't it, in case Secretary Han ** is really transferred up after the incident, if this guy is corrected in the future, where will he and the others have a good life, and it will be good if they don't get turned over the old accounts.
Unlike Han Haitian, who kept cadres coming up to make reports, there were few people next to Chen Yang from beginning to end, and finally one came, but it was the chubby Deputy Mayor Wang, since Chen Yang protected him in the last demolition incident, this guy has already stood in line with Chen Yang, it is obvious that he should belong to the category of relatives, looking at his sweaty appearance, he knew at a glance that he was trotting all the way upstairs.
As soon as he ran to Chen Yang's side, he anxiously reported: "Mayor, Secretary Liu's special car has already crossed West Street." ”
"Oh, yes."
Chen Yang replied helplessly, as early as ten minutes ago, there was already news that Secretary Liu was about to arrive, but now he said that he had just driven to West Street, and it was still very early, and he couldn't get to the hotel in five minutes.
Turning his head and glancing at Han Haitian not far away, sure enough, the other party also received the latest news, and the whole person's mental outlook immediately changed, and he looked full of energy.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yang couldn't help but feel a little funny, to be honest, he personally didn't have much opinion on Han Haitian, but because of the naturally hostile relationship between the first and second leaders, he was now in this kind of embarrassing situation with Han Haitian, and often a small contradiction was very likely to be expanded. He is also very helpless about this, but it is obviously impossible to really let go of his hands and feet and not cut off all Han Haitian's henchmen on the Standing Committee.
There is no way, while the contradiction has not intensified now, it is best that this old Han can dredge the way and be successfully promoted to the provincial party committee in the future. However, this thought flashed in his mind, and with some of his research and judgment on the political situation in Lingxi during this time, in fact, he was not too optimistic about Han Haitian's successful promotion. Although the old secretary who promoted Han Haitian at the beginning still has considerable energy in the Lingxi Provincial Party Committee after retiring from the second line, it is an iron law of officialdom for people to go to tea and cool, unless Han Haitian is really willing to go to the people's congress to be a deputy director with no power in his hands or something, otherwise it is basically hopeless. After all, there are more monks and less porridge, and others are not idle when you are active.
"Mayor, Secretary Liu, they're coming soon."
Seeing Chen Yang absent-mindedly thinking about other things, Vice Mayor Wang Anguo on the side was really anxious, so he had to whisper another reminder. He didn't want to end up in pain with his relatives, after all, now he is betting his future on Chen Yang, he has acted as Chen Yang's pawn before, and he has a deep relationship with many Korean cadres in some work in the city, if Chen Yang falls one day, he doesn't think he will have a good life. He knows very well the superficial truth that one is prosperous and one is lost.
"Well, I got it."
Chen Yang glanced at this henchman strangely, and took out a box of Zhonghua from his pocket as he spoke.
And his ordinary behavior, in the eyes of Wang Fatzi, was so shocked that he almost fainted on the spot. If it was usual, when he saw Chen Yang take out a cigarette, he would definitely hand over the lighter he lit as soon as possible, but at this moment, where did he still have this kind of thought, he almost couldn't help but go over and snatch Chen Yang's cigarette case.
But isn't it, it's only a few minutes before the secretary comes up, and in case you smoke until the halfway secretary comes, do you say you continue to smoke, or throw it away in a hurry? Aren't you looking for yourself unhappy, are you really that addicted to smoking?
Of course, thinking like this, Wang Fatzi didn't dare to really say it, so he could only stare at it and be anxious.
And when he was so anxious that he was about to cry, Chen Yang had already lit the cigarette by himself, took a puff, and then held the cigarette between his fingers and ordered: "By the way, Lao Wang, I asked Xiaohu to pick up an important guest earlier, I guess he should be too late now, so after I and Secretary Liu go in, you will go downstairs to wait for Xiaohu and bring the guests up." ”
Chen Yang's move is normal, after all, when the banquet starts later, there is no one with a work card to lead, and outsiders will definitely not be able to enter the banquet hall. And he must have had to accompany Secretary Liu at that time, so naturally he couldn't take the time to pick up people.
Although he didn't know what important guests the mayor ordered to wait, Wang Fatzi still nodded quickly: "Okay, mayor, then I'll go down." As he spoke, his face was a little weird, and he glanced at the cigarette that Chen Yang had sandwiched between his fingers.
Chen Yang saw that his face was different, and he didn't doubt him, so he directly handed him the cigarette case and said with a smile: "Hehe, hehe, Lao Wang, you can take this box of cigarettes and try it, there is nothing for sale in the place." ”
Chen Yang has always been very generous to subordinates like Wang Fatzi who often help him run errands, and he often casually gives away the whole box of special cigarettes that can only be enjoyed by provincial and ministerial-level cadres.
Wang Fatzi was stunned for a moment, but then took the cigarette with a sad face, and shook his head secretly, my eldest brother, isn't it Chinese cigarettes, I still have two big boxes at home, I am dying for you, can you stop joking?
After sighing secretly, he could only turn around and go downstairs through the back passage.
Walking on the hard steps, his mood was still a little heavy, with his understanding of Boss Chen, his boss belonged to the kind of person who was very casual in everything, and he unconsciously took out a cigarette while walking, and after lighting it numbly, he also smashed it and sucked it with a big mouth.
Belch?
As soon as he took a puff, the old cigarette gun was sensitively aware that something was wrong, and then he quickly took off the cigarette in his mouth, and took a look, as if the filter was too long, almost accounting for half of the length of the entire cigarette, and there was a gold wire on the side of the filter, and then quickly took out the cigarette case that he had just put in his pocket casually, and after a closer look, he soon found the difference between this cigarette box and ordinary Chinese cigarettes. The difference is not big, it's just a few small bronzing characters on the side of the box, and Zhongnanhai offers special cigarettes
hiss
His surprise was not trivial, and he hurriedly snuffed out the cigarette he had just taken a small puff, and then patted off the ash in front of him, carefully stuffed it back into the cigarette case like a treasure, and put it into the inner pocket of his jacket with a solemn face.
After this series of actions, the solemn look on his face dissipated a lot, and he glanced back at the direction of the stairs, and speculated in his heart, could it be that what Lao Liu said was true, Boss Chen is the background in Zhongnanhai?
Of course, Chen Yang didn't know that he could surprise the other party for a long time by throwing half a box of cigarettes to his subordinates, and at this time, he didn't have time to think about such a trivial matter, because Secretary Liu and his party finally came.
And coincidentally, it just happened that the fat man guessed correctly, he had just smoked half of a cigarette, and the elevator door in front of him, which had not been moving, suddenly made a crisp sound of ding dong, and slowly opened.
At this moment, Chen Yang was really a little caught off guard, and after coughing dryly, he didn't panic much, and casually snuffed it out in the tray in the hands of a waiter passing by.
Soon, Secretary Liu Kun was the first to walk out of the elevator room with steady and powerful steps, followed by Guo Fangming, the president of Tianyue Group.
"Secretary Liu, hello"
Almost at the same time, Han Haitian and a group of Xizhou cadres who had been engrossed in it for a long time also hurried up to meet them, and each comrade had the kind of restrained smile on his face when facing the leader, and the pace seemed to be very urgent, as if he was afraid that he would be left behind, and he dropped Chen Yang several steps away in an instant.
Fortunately, Chen Yang didn't mean to compete with these people for anything, otherwise he would have vomited blood on the spot when he saw this scene.
Secretary Liu Kun nodded calmly in response to everyone, and then stretched out his right hand to Han Haitian, who was walking at the front of the greeting team: "Hello, Comrade Haitian." ”
Han Haitian stretched out his hand even after being busy, and at the same time did not forget to say: "Hello, secretary, you have worked hard along the way." ”
Secretary Liu Kun waved his hand, shook his head with a chuckle and said, "Everyone has been waiting for a long time, hehe, today is the Lantern Festival, but everyone has no time to reunite with their relatives, everyone is really hard." ”
As soon as Secretary Liu's voice fell, the cadres shook their heads one after another and said again and again: "Secretary Liu, we don't work hard. ”
"Secretary Liu, this is what we should do."
And so on, the sound of sycophants is like a tide.
But having said that, Secretary Liu's approachable words still warmed the hearts of all the cadres, and the urge to dedicate themselves to the party surged in an instant, of course, it was only the impulse of this second, and after this second, what should be or what should be. It is not without cadres who have really decided to dedicate themselves to the party, but there are definitely very few, but the legendary comrade mentioned above can barely be regarded as one.
"By the way, what about Comrade Chen Yang?"
Secretary Liu waved his hand to stop this sycophant, and asked Han Haitian who was accompanying him a little strangely, and at the same time, his eyes subconsciously passed through the crowd of cadres in front of him, trying to find the young figure in the middle of the cadre team.
