Rivertown, Great Hall of the City People.
At 10 am, the meeting of all the officials above the division level was held punctually in the Great Hall.
The rostrum was fully occupied. All the main leaders of the four municipal teams were seated. Chen Xing sat in the middle of the first row on the rostrum. His seat was next to Fu Jianjia, the Secretary of the Rivertown Municipal Party Committee.
In the solemn hall, Fu Jianjia's sonorous voice reverberated. Today's meeting would be hosted by Fu Jianjia and he would give the opening speech.
After Fu Jianjia's speech, Huang Kunming, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, also spoke on the rostrum. Huang Kunming represented the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial government to affirm the work of the Rivertown Party and government leaders over the past year. After a routine speech, Huang Kunming finally announced the appointment of Chen Xing. The Provincial Party Committee appointed Chen Xing as the Deputy Secretary of the Rivertown Municipal Party Committee and nominated him as the Mayor of Rivertown.
The quiet hall was filled with warm applause. When Chen Xing spoke on the rostrum, he glanced at the audience and glanced at the rostrum. With the information given to him by Huang Kunming the day before yesterday, he could now match the main leaders of Rivertown. Among them, there was an "old acquaintance" whom he had dealt with before.
The reason why "old acquaintance" was in quotation marks was that this statement was very far-fetched. He had only dealt with this person once or twice, and they were all on the phone. In reality, they had not dealt with each other face-to-face. However, even if they had not dealt with each other face-to-face, it did not mean that Chen Xing had not seen this person before. Who was this person? Zhu Huadong, the Deputy Secretary of the Rivertown Municipal Party Committee.
When Chen Xing first saw the name Zhu Huadong the day before yesterday, he thought that it might be someone with the same name. However, reality always differed from one's wishes. After a brief search of Zhu Huadong's information, Chen Xing knew that this Zhu Huadong was Zhu Huadong, the former Deputy Secretary and Director of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee.
The contact between Chen Xing and Zhu Huadong began with the matter of Wu Gang. Although this matter ended with Wu Gang's compromise and he did not have much contact with Zhu Huadong afterward, Chen Xing was sure that Zhu Huadong was unhappy because of the matter of Wu Gang.
When the two met each other today, Chen Xing also greeted Zhu Huadong politely with a smile. Zhu Huadong also had a smile on his face. Even so, Chen Xing could not guess what kind of feelings Zhu Huadong had for him. The first contact could not indicate anything. Moreover, who in the officialdom did not wear a mask?
At this moment, as his eyes swept across the rostrum, Chen Xing subtly glanced at Zhu Huadong. Seeing that Zhu Huadong was looking in his direction with a peaceful smile on his face, Chen Xing also withdrew his gaze without a trace and began his speech. This was his first appearance in Rivertown. Chen Xing originally wanted to read the script, but in the end, he chose to speak without a script. The script was written by himself last night and it was all in his mind. It did not matter whether he read the script or not.
When the city-wide cadres' meeting was in full swing, in the office of the Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau, Chen Bin, the director of the office, was instantly dumbfounded after hearing the latest news about the new mayor. Holding a cup of water in his hand, he sat there in a daze for a moment. There was regret and unwillingness on his face.
After a long time, Chen Bin finally came to his senses. He put down the cup of water and pondered for a moment. Finally, with a complicated expression, Chen Bin picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number that he had not contacted for a long time.
In the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau, Wu Gang sat in his office and read the newspaper idly. From time to time, he raised his hand to look at his watch, waiting for the time to get off work.
Wu Gang was now the deputy director of the Water Conservancy Bureau, the last deputy director, and the one with the least power. The department he was in charge of could be said to be idle. Among the several deputy directors, he was the only one who was still at the level of deputy division.
Jiang City was a sub-provincial city. According to the relevant regulations of the state on sub-provincial cities, the municipal districts and institutions directly under the municipal government of sub-provincial cities were at the level of deputy department. That was to say, the district mayor and the director of the Municipal Bureau were at the level of deputy department, while the deputy district mayor and deputy director were at the level of division. As an institution directly under the municipal government, the director of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau was at the level of deputy department, while the deputy director was at the level of division. However, after he was transferred to the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau, his rank had never been promoted. (Some readers don't seem to know about sub-provincial cities. They say it's nonsense. You can check it out.)
Wu Gang knew that his superiors deliberately stopped him, so he had no hope for an official career now. Since he was transferred to this insignificant yamen and had nothing to do, Wu Gang simply did not care about anything. Every day, except for going to work and getting off work as usual, he did not fight with others. Anyway, he went to work on time and got off work on time. Usually, he accompanied his wife and children. This kind of life was also a kind of pleasure.
It was almost 11 o 'clock. Wu Gang thought that he would get off work soon and his wife would not have time to cook at noon. Wu Gang planned to leave more than ten minutes earlier to buy some vegetables at the market.
Then he went home to cook.
When he was drinking tea, reading the newspaper and thinking about something, his phone suddenly rang. When he saw the caller ID, Wu Gang was stunned for a moment, and then he snorted.
He thought to himself, "Did the sun rise from the west today? Why did this old friend, whom he barely contacted, call me?"
Picking up the phone, Wu Gang said with a sarcastic smile, "Director Chen, did you call the wrong number?"
"Brother Wu, you must be joking. I've always saved your number, how can I call the wrong number?" Chen Bin's mouth twitched, but he quickly put on a smile. "Brother Wu, what are you doing?
What else can you do at work? " Wu Gang curled his lips and said. His eyes were wide open. When Chen Bin called him "Brother Wu", he almost thought that his ears were playing tricks on him.
Chen Bin did not know what Wu Gang was thinking, and he continued. "Brother Wu, have you heard about what happened in the city?"
"What happened?" Wu Gang was puzzled.
Chen Bin was stunned by Wu Gang's words. "Brother Wu, you're pretending, aren't you?"
"Tsk, what pretending? I don't even know what you're talking about. You suddenly called me and asked if I heard about what happened in the city. What can I hear?" "I'm sitting on a cold bench every day, drinking tea and reading newspapers at work every day, and then waiting to get off work. What can I hear?" Wu Gang raised his eyebrows and said, "Chen Bin, why did you suddenly call me and ask me about this? What's going on?"
Wu Gang's words made Chen Bin fall into deep thought. "Doesn't he know that Chen Xing is the newly transferred mayor of Jiang City?" He remembered that Wu Gang and Zeng Jing had a good relationship with Chen Xing. If Chen Xing was coming, Wu Gang should know. Moreover, Chen Xing should ask Wu Gang out for a chat. Why does Wu Gang look like he doesn't know anything? "
"Is the relationship between Wu Gang and Chen Xing not good now?" Chen Bin frowned. "If that's the case, why did I call Wu Gang? He's worthless."
Chen Bin rolled his eyes and smiled. "Wu Gang, there's nothing else. Let's go out for a chat when we're free. I'm busy now. Let's meet again when we have time."
