In the evening, Zhang Zhiyuan specially invited Guo Jinzhu to Provincial City and invited Bai Yuxin to have dinner together at Liduyuan Hotel.
"Haha, I don't think we've had a meal together since Secretary Guo was transferred to Xi City," Bai Yuxin lamented.
Guo Jinzhu sat in the middle, squinted his eyes and smiled. "Isn't that so? In the past, it was easy to meet up in the same place. Now that we're all in different places, it's not so easy to meet up anymore."
Zhang Zhiyuan poured a cup of tea for Guo Jinzhu and added, "Secretary Guo, it's all our fault. We've always been focused on work and neglected to keep in touch. We should organize more gatherings like this in the future. Don't you think so, Old Bai?"
Bai Yuxin smiled and said, "My rank is the lowest here. I won't speak."
Lu Yiwei, who had been silent all this while, quickly said, "Minister Bai, you're treating me like an outsider. We only talk about relationships at the dinner table, regardless of rank. Moreover, I'll always be a primary school student in front of you. "
Bai Yuxin was right. Lu Yiwei, who used to follow behind him, had now become the Deputy Secretary of the County party committee. He felt a little unbalanced.
Guo Jinzhu shook his head and said, "Yuxin, Yiwei is right. In the future, when we gather together, don't talk about these useless things. Just drink and chat happily. Why mention these things, huh?"
Zhang Zhiyuan tried to smooth things over in time. "Alright, let's set a rule before we eat. We'll drink three glasses of wine in a row. Whoever drops one glass will be punished with three glasses of wine."
"Haha, it seems like Zhiyuan's alcohol tolerance has increased. Alright, I have no objections." Guo Jinzhu laughed heartily.
Every dinner had a theme, and tonight's theme was Lu Yiwei. Such a big incident had happened in the field he was in charge of. If it was not dealt with in time, it would inevitably affect his future career. Lu Yiwei's qualifications were not enough to invite Guo Jinzhu. Zhang Zhiyuan took the initiative to invite him and asked Bai Yuxin to accompany him, so that this matter could be settled as soon as possible.
It could be seen that Zhang Zhiyuan had spared no effort in treating Lu Yiwei with sincerity, which made Lu Yiwei very touched. To have such a soulmate in one's life was the fortune of three lifetimes.
After three rounds of drinking, Guo Jinzhu became sentimental. He sighed and said, "Every time I drink, I think of Old Hou. That old thing left in such a hurry and left me alone. I don't even have someone to talk to. I often dream of him. Sigh, he died an unjust death. "
The "Old Hou" that Guo Jinzhu mentioned was Hou Yongzhi, the former secretary of the Politics and Law Committee of Bei Zhou City. The two of them served in the army together and participated in work together. They had a very good relationship. As long as Guo Jinzhu had a different opinion, Hou Yongzhi would always stand by his side and become his right-hand man. However, Guo Jinzhu was sad for a long time when he died in a car accident while investigating Ma Linhui's case.
At the mention of Hou Yongzhi, Zhang Zhiyuan was full of guilt. If he had not provoked the incident, perhaps Hou Yongzhi would not have died. Everyone was well aware of this matter, but Guo Jinzhu had never blamed him.
Zhang Zhiyuan raised his glass and said, "Secretary Guo, don't be too sad. Although Secretary Hou has left us, he did not go far. He will definitely exist in this world in some way. Let's toast to him. "
As he spoke, Guo Jinzhu stood up solemnly. The others also sat up and raised their glasses. Guo Jinzhu looked at the ceiling and said, "Old Hou, I don't have the ability to save you, but I will always remember this grudge in my heart. I will clear your name in the future. Also, I will take good care of your family. Please rest assured. "After saying that, he raised his head and drank.
Hou Yongzhi's death had been investigated. It was the wife of Li Hugang, the former director of the People's Republic of China. Now that Li Hugang had been brought to justice, the mastermind of the incident was still at large, hiding in a corner of Canada. His nationality was Canadian, so it was not easy to take action against him. In addition, the province classified Hou Yongzhi's death as a death in the line of duty. The Provincial Party Committee's Secretary Huang personally gave instructions to set an example and organized a report to the province. With such a halo on his head, if he wanted to reverse the verdict, he would have to overturn the decision of his superiors. It was obviously impossible.
After talking about Hou Yongzhi, Guo Jinzhu mentioned Tan Lao.
Because of Guo Jinzhu's personnel issues, Tan Lao had a conflict with the provincial leaders and lost his right to speak. Therefore, he no longer cared about current affairs and chose to retire. Tan Lao's departure was a huge loss for them. They had completely cut off their contact with the higher-ups and had to find a new "backer." However, Tan Lao was sincere in working for them. He did not care about gains or losses, nor did he care about utilitarianism. The other leaders were different. Without a strong public relations effect, no one would work for you.
Other than Lu Yiwei, the other three were all promoted and cultivated by Tan Lao. Especially Guo Jinzhu, who was a small police officer and had escorted him all the way to the mayor. It could be said that without Tan Lao, he would not be where he was today.
There was also Zhang Zhiyuan. Under Guo Jinzhu's suggestion, Tan Lao withstood the pressure and was suddenly transferred from the City's Transportation Bureau's Deputy Chief to the County Head. If it was not for Tan Lao, this kind of rocket promotion would not have been possible.
As for Bai Yuxin, he was once a Transportation Bureau officer. He was glorious for a while, but due to his own reasons, he made a comeback. It should be said that Tan Lao had spent the most effort on him.
"Tan Lao is now in Qingdao's Recuperation Home. I went to visit him a while ago, and he is in good spirits. He wakes up early to run every day and drinks tea and plays chess in the afternoon. He is living a good life, and every time he meets you, he will ask about your situation. "Bai Yuxin said.
Guo Jinzhu felt ashamed. Ever since he became the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary, he was so busy that he did not even have time to visit Tan Lao. He said apologetically, "Yuxin, Tan Lao, he …"
Bai Yuxin seemed to know what Guo Jinzhu wanted to say and said, "Secretary Guo, don't think too much about it. Tan Lao knows that you are busy. When he found out that you became the Secretary, he was so happy that he set up a table to celebrate. Actually, true friendship is not something that is said on the surface, but remembered in the heart. "
"Sigh!" Guo Jinzhu said in self-reproach, "When I'm done with my work, I must go and take a look. Yuxin, I'll have to trouble you with Tan Lao. "
"Mm, don't worry."
After chatting about Tan Lao, Guo Jinzhu asked again, "Oh right, how are you?"
Bai Yuxin did not seem satisfied with herself and said, "I'm fine, I'm just like that."
Guo Jinzhu said seriously, "Yuxin, don't blame me for not caring about you. It's beyond my reach. After leaving Bei Zhou City, I really can't interfere with the local affairs. My relationship with Qin Xiuwen is average, and you know about my situation with Lin Haifeng. If you want to take a step forward, why don't you come with me to Xi Zhou? "
Bai Yuxin waved her hand and said, "Thank you for your concern, Secretary Guo, but I have no intention of leaving Bei Zhou City for the time being. Although my position is a little low, I can take care of my family. My child is going to take his college entrance examination soon, and I don't want to leave him at this crucial time. "
"Oh." Guo Jinzhu thought for a while and said, "Alright then, I'll keep this in mind. I'll think about it later."
"What about you? How are you? "
Seeing that he was asked, Zhang Zhiyuan ate a mouthful of food and said, "I'm fine. The pilot project of enterprise reform in Dong Zhou City is nearing its end, and the next step is to spread it across the entire province. I'm so busy every day, running here and there, it's a little hard to bear. "
"It's good to be busy." Guo Jinzhu said earnestly, "You're not working for nothing now, your efforts will eventually be rewarded. Besides, you're now working under the nose of Secretary Huang of the Provincial Party Committee, the outcome will definitely not be bad. Is the enterprise reform going well? "
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "It's going well. Back then, Secretary Huang transferred Xu Caimao to Dong Zhou City mainly to carry out the enterprise reform. Old Xu is tough, he basically restructured all the state-owned enterprises in the city, and received high praise from Secretary Huang. "
At the mention of Xu Caimao, Guo Jinzhu could not help but admit that he was inferior. This person was indeed capable. Ever since he took charge of Dong Zhou, he had taken care of all aspects of the work, and was at the forefront of the province. His ability was extraordinary. On the other hand, Guo Jinzhu had taken over a terrible mess, and now he was half dead, with little effect. He said, "Old Xu is really good, he's in charge of 12 districts in the province. But he has a good foundation, resources, and funds. It's hard not to develop, sigh. "
Zhang Zhiyuan seemed to have realized something, and quickly said, "Secretary Guo, don't be discouraged. Although Xi Zhou City is poor, as the strategic backstop of the province, there's still room for development. "
"I hope so."
Zhang Zhiyuan thought of another matter, and asked carefully, "Secretary Guo, I heard that Secretary Huang is going to be transferred?"
Guo Jinzhu said expressionlessly, "I've only heard about it, but I'm not sure about the situation."
Zhang Zhiyuan was slightly worried, if Huang Jiyang was transferred, what would happen to him?
Guo Jinzhu comforted, "Don't worry, even if Secretary Huang wants to leave, he will give you an explanation. What I'm worried about now is if the next Secretary comes, will he continue to implement his enterprise reform policies, and that's a whole other matter. So, you have to be careful, don't be too rash, and don't be too timid. Use silence to stop force, and movement to stop force. "
"Do you think Governor Zhang will be transferred?"
"This … this is really hard to say." Guo Jinzhu avoided this topic, and said, "Alright, don't worry about him, just do your job well, it's the same no matter who is transferred."
The topic finally returned to the topic of the night. Zhang Zhiyuan raised his wine, and said, "Secretary Guo, Yiwei has given you so much trouble this time, he's very guilty, and I feel sorry for him. After all, he is still young, and you should give him more chances. This matter … "
Guo Jinzhu looked at Lu Yiwei, who had been silent all night, and rhythmically tapped the table with his fingers. "The nature of this matter is indeed terrible. After all, people died, and seven of them died at once. Luckily, I had suppressed it. If the Provincial Government knew about this, they will surely investigate this matter. After the incident, I reported this matter to Secretary Huang, and he did not say anything when he learned that the matter had been resolved. He only asked me to investigate the matter in the city, and this matter must not happen again. "
Lu Yiwei blushed and lowered his head. Zhang Zhiyuan pushed him and gestured for him to serve the wine. Zhang Zhiyuan quickly stood up and said, "Secretary Guo, it's all my fault. I did not prepare in advance. If I had investigated this matter in advance, this tragedy would not have happened. I am willing to accept the City's punishment. "
"Alright!" Guo Jinzhu asked both of them to sit down, and said, "Didn't I tell you about this matter? Since it has been resolved, let's stop here, and don't mention it again. Furthermore, why should I hold you accountable? If someone is to be held accountable, it should be Yan Bugao and Jin Rongguang. You have only been there for half a year, and it's already very impressive that you managed to resolve this matter in a day. "
Zhang Zhiyuan knew the rhythm of the conversation, and said to Lu Yiwei, "Yiwei, why don't you give Secretary Guo a toast? Come, I will accompany you. "
After drinking, Guo Jinzhu grumbled, "Zhiyuan, if this dinner is because of Yiwei's matter, then it's unnecessary. Do you think that we still care about this? I know what you are thinking, and since Yiwei is working for me, I will not mistreat him. When his term expires next year, I will immediately transfer him to the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee. "
Zhang Zhiyuan was overjoyed, and said happily, "Secretary Guo, Yiwei has a high level of awareness, and he can understand it easily. However, he is still young, and there are some things that he can't do well. In the future, I will need more guidance and criticism from you."
Guo Jinzhu smiled, "Yiwei's popularity in Black Mountain County is even higher than Yan Bugao's. This kid is just like you, he is hardworking and courageous. Do a good job."
After dinner, Bai Yuxin and Guo Jinzhu returned to Dongzhou City, while Lu Yiwei followed Zhang Zhiyuan to a nearby teahouse.
Zhang Zhiyuan comforted him, "Yiwei, you have heard Secretary Guo's attitude tonight, and I don't think he will make things difficult for you. This matter ends here, and you have to be more careful in the future. In fact, when you said that Yan Bugao put you in charge of the government, I was worried about you. Fortunately, this matter was handled in time, and there was not much impact. On this point, Fan Rongkui helped you a lot behind the scenes. If he did not cut off the channel of dissemination of the news, the consequences would be unimaginable. "
Lu Yiwei expressed his agreement. Fan Rongkui had indeed helped him. The news that spread on the Internet disappeared overnight, and the newspapers and TV stations in the province did not mention this matter at all. In fact, the relevant media had already prepared a press release, especially the Xijiang Evening News, which focused on the people's livelihood. The title "Black Mountain County High School Poisoned 10 Students" was placed on the front page, and it had already been printed, waiting to be delivered early in the morning.
After Fan Rongkui knew about it, he ran to the Xijiang Newspaper Group overnight, withstanding all kinds of pressure to withdraw the report. The president's complaint angered Fan Rongkui, and he directly ordered that if they did not withdraw it urgently, they would have to bear the consequences. In the end, the Xijiang Evening News reprinted everything. Fan Rongkui turned the tide and pulled Lu Yiwei back from the teeth of the storm.
One had to know that once this matter became the focus of the society, it would be difficult to cover it up.
Lu Yiwei nodded and said, "I still feel scared when I think about it. Although Secretary Guo did not blame me, I still feel sorry for him."
"That's enough. Secretary Guo still cares about old friendships." Zhang Zhiyuan said, "I still say the same thing. The situation in Black Mountain County is complicated, and I hope you can keep a low profile. If you are not careful, you will become a pawn in the hands of others. Yan Bugao may seem incompetent, but in fact, he is not. He always pushes you to the front. Have you ever thought about the reason? This move of his is very insidious. If you do a good job, it will be his political achievement. If you do a bad job, you will take the blame for him, and he will be fine. "
"Yes, I will pay more attention in the future."
After a while, Lu Yiwei said again, "Secretary Zhang, Minister Fan told me yesterday that he wants to transfer me back to the provincial capital. I want to hear your opinion."
"Uh …" Zhang Zhiyuan thought for a while and said, "What do you think?"
Lu Yiwei said, "Chunfang is pregnant now and needs someone to take care of her. I think it's fine to come back. But I always feel that it's not right to be transferred back by Minister Fan. "
"We are family. Why are you saying this?" Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Since you have decided, it's good that you come back. After all, you have been at the grassroots level for a long time, and your vision is limited. You can come into contact with people at different levels when you come back. Which department will you be transferred to? "
Lu Yiwei shook his head and said, "I haven't said."
"Yes, we will talk about it when you come back." Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Yiwei, do you still hate me?"
"Why would I hate you?" Lu Yiwei was a little puzzled.
"What happened between you and Tong Huan back then …"
Lu Yiwei drank his tea in a panic and said, "Secretary Zhang, it's all in the past. There is no need to bring it up. I know you are doing it for my own good. I have never hated you. It was in the past, it is now, and it will be in the future. "
Zhang Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Yiwei, there are some things I can say now. Have you ever thought that Tong Huan is not suitable for you? She is just an actress. Can she enter the hall of elegance? She can't! Your career is on the rise, and your backyard must not be on fire. Even if Tong Huan has nothing to do with Ding Changhua, her misdeeds will definitely affect your reputation. Fortunately, you listened to me. If you insist, I will not stop you. "
"Matchmaking you and Fan Chunfang is a shameless method, but it is for your own good. Fan Rongkui works in the province, and he can more or less help you. You can feel it clearly this time. Besides, Fan Chunfang is a good girl. I personally think she is much better than Tong Huan. " Zhang Zhiyuan said, "There are some things I can help you with. But the further you go, the more powerless I am. So, it is better to have more paths than to walk on one leg. "
Zhang Zhiyuan's painstaking advice was clear to Lu Yiwei. He said, "Secretary Zhang, you did not do anything wrong. Really."
"Ai!" Zhang Zhiyuan sighed and said, "We are all from poor families. We have no background or connections. We can only rely on our own efforts to create connections. In this world, there is no love without reason, and there is no hate without reason. I can help you today, but it might not be the same in the future. "
Hearing Zhang Zhiyuan being so sad, Lu Yiwei asked, "Secretary Zhang, is Secretary Huang really going to be transferred?"
"Yes, I heard some rumors."
"What will you do after he leaves?"
"The situation is not clear now." Zhang Zhiyuan said, "I am worried that once Secretary Huang is transferred, the enterprise reform will be put on hold. If Governor Zhang promotes him on the spot, things will become more complicated. Governor Zhang did not support the enterprise reform in the first place. So, you can imagine the outcome. "
Lu Yiwei was worried for Zhang Zhiyuan and said, "Secretary Zhang, should I look for Professor Cai?"
"Let's wait and see." Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Secretary-General Luo seems to be secretly taking action. His position might be changed. If Secretary Huang does not consider me, he can look for Professor Cai. "
