Luo Zhongyuan had already lost his interest in the management of the site. A person's mood would be affected by the rainy weather, and now, his mood had dropped to the freezing point.
Tian Chunqiu never expected things to turn out this way, so he went up to apologise. Crossing his arms, Luo Zhongyuan looked out of the window and said, "I don't think there's a need for us to continue. Let's go back."
Tian Chunqiu still wanted to explain, but he was stopped by Luo Zhongyuan's secretary, who signaled him to follow his instructions. Tian Chunqiu was helpless, so he ordered the car to return to the hostel.
Luo Zhongyuan changed into a clean set of clothes and sat on the couch, smoking. At this moment, the Vice-Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, Qin Xiuwen, knocked on the door and entered. Luo Zhongyuan and Qin Xiuwen worked in the same building, and they were familiar with each other. Thus, they did not have to be courteous in their conversation. Before they came down, the Vice-Minister of the Provincial Party Committee personally looked for Qin Xiuwen to conduct a comprehensive investigation on Zhang Zhiyuan, intending to groom him as a reserve leader. This arrangement showed that the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Huang Jiyang, was someone who cherished talents, and he preferred young people who dared to break the rules and challenge themselves. Zhang Zhiyuan's' Nanyang Method 'had allowed him to see something different, and he immediately arranged for Luo Zhongyuan to make a trip down. Firstly, he wanted to know if the situation was real, and secondly, he wanted to investigate Zhang Zhiyuan's background.
Any politically astute and discerning officials should have been able to see the clues behind the investigation lineup. At the very least, Tian Chunqiu, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, smelled something different. However, he did not understand the real purpose. Instead, he allowed Su Qiming to do his best, but the effect was counterproductive.
Qin Xiuwen sat on the couch and said, "Zhongyuan, I came down to talk to Zhang Zhiyuan, but I can't even see him. How am I going to report my work? Did Zhang Zhiyuan really go to study? I don't think so. "
Luo Zhongyuan nodded and said, "This Tian Chunqiu is too daring. He abused his power and activated the disciplinary procedures on his own. He actually didn't report to his superiors when dealing with such a big matter as the County Head. He's too arrogant. If Secretary Huang finds out that an honest person was suppressed in this way, I'm afraid he won't be able to explain himself to Tian Chunqiu. "
Qin Xiuwen said, "This is a serious matter. We must report to Secretary Huang …" Before he could finish, Tian Chunqiu knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Luo Zhongyuan called out in a low voice. Tian Chunqiu walked in with a grin, followed by another person who kept nodding at the two leaders.
"This is?" Qin Xiuwen asked suspiciously.
Tian Chunqiu pushed Zhang Zhiyuan to the front and said, "Standing Committee Luo, Minister Qin, this is the county head of Nanyang County, Comrade Zhang Zhiyuan. I just got off the plane and came straight here. "
Luo Zhongyuan and Qin Xiuwen looked at each other in surprise. They didn't know what Tian Chunqiu was up to. Zhang Zhiyuan reacted quickly and said, "Standing Committee Luo, Minister Qin, I've been discussing a project with a German company recently. I just came back from Germany and came to greet you."
"Yes, yes, yes! Haha. "Tian Chunqiu echoed. His smile was forced and extremely unnatural.
Luo Zhongyuan looked at their performance. He didn't want to expose them, but he hated them for deceiving him in such a dignified manner. He flicked the ash off his cigarette and asked calmly, "Which city in Germany is County Zhang from? What kind of company are you working with? "
Tian Chunqiu was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat. On the other hand, Zhang Zhiyuan was calm and said, "Standing Committee Luo, I'm in Munich, Germany, discussing the introduction of advanced coal mining equipment with a representative from a Boston company."
"Oh?" Luo Zhongyuan was very calm. He looked up at Zhang Zhiyuan and said, "How's the negotiation going?"
"Pretty good!" Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and said, "The German representative will be visiting Nanyang County next."
"Oh." Luo Zhongyuan said calmly, "Comrade Zhiyuan, I don't know what's the point of your performance. Do you plan to continue?"
"This …" Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly froze and didn't know how to answer.
"Why aren't you talking? Weren't you quite talkative just now? "Luo Zhongyuan changed his tone.
Tian Chunqiu's face turned pale as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his sleeve.
Zhang Zhiyuan reacted quickly and quickly explained, "Standing Committee Luo, Minister Qin, I didn't do well enough. I shouldn't have lied to you, but I've really been learning …"
"Enough!" Luo Zhongyuan interrupted, "Comrade Chunqiu, I'd like to talk to Comrade Zhiyuan alone. You can leave first."
Tian Chunqiu's heart skipped a beat when he heard Luo Zhongyuan's words. An ominous feeling rose in his heart. He looked at Zhang Zhiyuan with a pleading look. Zhang Zhiyuan didn't plan to make things difficult for Tian Chunqiu. He nodded slightly, hoping that he would be at ease.
"Old Qin, don't go. Let's sit down and talk!" Luo Zhongyuan saw that Qin Xiuwen was about to leave, so he quickly stopped him.
Under Li Qinkui's strong suggestion, Tian Chunqiu thought about it for a while before he made up his mind to bring Zhang Zhiyuan back from Bei Zhou City. Tian Chunqiu made this move at the right time. If Luo Zhongyuan really returned to the provincial capital empty-handed, he would probably be in danger.
Zhang Zhiyuan only found out that something so serious had happened after he came out. His heart was filled with agitation and bitterness. He didn't expect that Lu Yiwei had been working hard for him in his own way. Now, it seemed that Lu Yiwei's efforts were not in vain. He had regained his freedom. On the way back to Nanyang, Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't hide his emotions. He covered his face and cried bitterly. One could imagine how Zhang Zhiyuan had survived the past 20 days.
"Comrade Zhiyuan, have a seat." Luo Zhongyuan showed his approachable side. There was a huge gap between a provincial leader and a prefecture-level leader in all aspects. Provincial leaders had a wide range of contacts, involved in many fields, and were highly cultured. They could not show their emotions, expressions, or complexion in their words and actions. On the other hand, prefecture-level officials were not highly cultured. They often interacted with the people, especially at the county level, where they had to face the masses directly. As time went by, they naturally became hot-tempered and spoke in a coarse voice. Luo Zhongyuan had encountered so many unexpected incidents today, but he was able to handle them calmly. When he felt that he was about to lose his temper, he was able to suppress it. This kind of extraordinary endurance was not something an ordinary person could train.
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't stand on ceremony. He took a chair and sat opposite the sofa, waiting for the two leaders to ask questions.
Luo Zhongyuan and Qin Xiuwen exchanged glances. Luo Zhongyuan said calmly, "Comrade Zhiyuan, I don't care if you went out to study or study. I won't pursue this matter. But you can't lie to the organization. One is one, two is two. If you insist on doing this, my impression of you will only decrease."
Zhang Zhiyuan was a little scared. He quickly explained, "Comrade Luo, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied. But can I report something to you in private?"
Zhang Zhiyuan's answer was very tactful. He admitted his mistake and didn't drag Tian Chunqiu down with him. This made Luo Zhongyuan feel very gratified. This also showed that Zhang Zhiyuan was someone who would do great things. He wasn't someone who would be calculative and seek revenge for the smallest grievance. This kind of talent was worthy of the organization's trust. Luo Zhongyuan nodded solemnly and continued, "I believe you know why we came to Nanyang County today. We're just here to take a look. Minister Qin and I are very satisfied with Baitai Coal Industry's field research. At least we got the answer we wanted. 'Nanyang Model' isn't a slogan, but a summary of work methods and a promotion of work experience. It's also a driving force and engine for the healthy development of society and economy. You've also received the approval of the Provincial Party Committee's Secretary Huang. You've led Nanyang County to the forefront of Xijiang Province's enterprise restructuring. It's not easy to achieve such a feat! "
Luo Zhongyuan's evaluation shocked Zhang Zhiyuan. He couldn't react for a long time. This was the first time he had received praise and praise since he entered politics. It wasn't easy to come by. He was excited and touched. Zhang Zhiyuan actually burst into tears when his heart was touched. Perhaps, this heavy evaluation came too late, but it also came too timely.
Zhang Zhiyuan was sobbing, but Luo Zhongyuan didn't stop him. Instead, he looked at this highly educated official with a solemn expression. He was young, but his face was filled with vicissitudes of life and hesitation, which didn't match his actual age. It was said that practice was a valuable asset, and the tempering and practice at the grassroots level played an irreplaceable role in the rapid growth of a leader.
"Thank you, Secretary Huang, thank you, Secretary General Luo …" Zhang Zhiyuan said while wiping his tears, sobbing like a child who had been wronged. He was trying to vent all the unhappiness that had accumulated in his heart during this period of time.
"Alright!" Luo Zhongyuan took out a piece of tissue and handed it to Zhang Zhiyuan. "I know it hasn't been easy for you. Let me ask you, what's your next step?"
"Plan?" Zhang Zhiyuan asked doubtfully.
"Yes!" Qin Xiuwen nodded and said, "Feel free to speak your mind boldly. Tell us your true thoughts."
Zhang Zhiyuan only knew of Qin Xiuwen, but he had never interacted with him. Today, he met Qin Xiuwen in person. He could tell that Qin Xiuwen was a strict and standard leader. He asked, "Minister Qin, does this count as the organization wanting to talk to me?"
Qin Xiuwen glanced at Luo Zhongyuan and said, "Well … I guess so, but it's not formal. It's just a casual chat. You understand?"
