At the airport of Jiang City, Chen Xing and Fang Pingping, who had finished their work after a day's delay, boarded the flight to the capital together. In addition to Fang Pingping and other people from the Municipal Performing Arts Group, Chen Xing also brought his secretary, Yu Zhiyuan. Feng Xiaoru, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Minister of Publicity, also came with them.
Feng Xiaoru was very supportive of the application for the Golden Tripod Award. Knowing that she needed support, Feng Xiaoru agreed readily and agreed to go to the capital together.
It was rare for him to have a private conversation with Feng Xiaoru, so Chen Xing specially changed his seat on the plane and sat with Feng Xiaoru.
He had always wanted to find time to thank Minister Feng for what happened at the Standing Committee last time. This time, he finally had a chance to thank Minister Feng. Chen Xing said with a smile.
"It's nothing. I just cast my vote realistically. I know a little about both Cao Jiadong and Zheng Zhongqiang. In my opinion, Zheng Zhongqiang is more suitable to be the Director of the Municipal Bureau than Cao Jiadong, so I support Zheng Zhongqiang." Feng Xiaoru smiled lightly.
Hearing Feng Xiaoru's explanation, Chen Xing understood. Feng Xiaoru's explanation sounded perfunctory, but in Chen Xing's view, it was the most reasonable explanation. Otherwise, Feng Xiaoru would not choose to support him and offend Zhu Huadong.
Chen Xing glanced at Feng Xiaoru calmly. Because of Feng Xiaoru's answer, Chen Xing's impression of Feng Xiaoru improved a little. As a cadre, it was obviously commendable for her to insist on her own opinion at the Standing Committee with a sense of fairness.
Feng Xiaoru didn't know what Chen Xing was thinking about, so she took the initiative to speak. Mayor Chen has vigorously developed the cultural industry since he came to Jiang City. I am very supportive of this. I also hope that the Publicity Department can play a more subjective role in the future and make more contributions to the economic development of Jiang City.
The development of the cultural industry really needs the help of the Publicity Department to give more suggestions. If Minister Feng has any constructive ideas, please enlighten me. Chen Xing said with a smile.
We, the Publicity Department, only do some party building and propaganda work. However, if Mayor Chen needs any help from us, please feel free to let us know. Feng Xiaoru smiled and turned to Fang Pingping. For example, I fully agree with the application for the Golden Tripod Award this time. Our Rivertown should apply for more awards or competitions that can increase the city's influence. This is also a move to build the city's soft power.
Yes, Minister Feng is right. I have always believed that a city's soft power is an important part of a city's overall strength. As the city's manager, I cannot ignore this problem. Chen Xing couldn't agree more.
Seeing that Chen Xing agreed with her, Feng Xiaoru was quite happy, and the smile on her face became wider. In fact, the reason why she supported Chen Xing's proposal for Zheng Zhongqiang to be the director of the Municipal Bureau at the last standing committee meeting was that she felt that Zheng Zhongqiang was more suitable than Cao Jiadong. Another important reason was that Chen Xing's vigorous development of the cultural industry was to her liking. Therefore, she chose to vote for Zheng Zhongqiang at that time.
As they talked, the topic naturally turned to the Golden Tripod Award again. Last time, Fang Pingping only reported to Feng Xiaoru about the application and did not mention the specific difficulties. This time, if Chen Xing did not take the initiative to contact Feng Xiaoru, Fang Pingping would not have reported to Feng Xiaoru in time. There was no doubt that Fang Pingping only cared about showing her face in front of Chen Xing. Obviously, the work of the Publicity Department was not done well.
Fang Pingping's work was not done well. Naturally, Chen Xing would not criticize Fang Pingping in front of Feng Xiaoru. However, speaking of competitors, Chen Xing could not help saying, "Our Jiang City's competitors are all very strong this time. It is not easy to stand out."
"Where there is a will, there is a way. I also have one or two friends in the SARFT. This time, I will go to the capital to see if I can help." Feng Xiaoru said.
"Not to mention other cities, Hai City alone is enough to give us a headache. I don't know what kind of connections the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee can make in person." Fang Pingping said worriedly.
"No matter what kind of connections they can make, we just have to do our job well." Chen Xing smiled.
Secretary Zhang Yiping did things swiftly and decisively. She directly went to work in person. Feng Xiaoru shook her head and smiled. She had dealt with Zhang Yiping several times. After all, Zhang Yiping was a cadre from Jiang City. When Zhang Yiping was still the deputy mayor of Jiang City, she was the executive deputy minister of the Publicity Department. Although she did not have much contact with Zhang Yiping at work, Feng Xiaoru vaguely knew that Zhang Yiping's reputation was not good from their few contacts and some news from the circle. However, this had nothing to do with her. Zhang Yiping was now making great strides in her official career. Not only was she the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in Hai City, but she was also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Naturally, Feng Xiaoru would not gossip behind her back.
They chatted. After a two-hour flight, the plane arrived in the capital. The people from the Beijing Office and the public relations staff of the performing arts group in the capital came to pick them up. Feng Xiaoru went to the hotel arranged by the Beijing Office to stay, while Chen Xing went home directly. He had not been home since he took office in Jiang City. This time, he had not reunited with his family for several months.
Zhang Ningning was still in the company. Recently, she was busy raising funds for the foundation. Chen Xing felt sorry for his wife. However, this was Zhang Ningning's choice. Now that he was positive about Zhang Ningning's charity work, he could not say much except to persuade Zhang Ningning to pay more attention to rest.
There was no one at home. Chen Xing didn't even need to think to know that his mother must have taken the children to the park to play. In fact, it was really unfair for his mother to come to Beijing alone to take care of the children. In this unfamiliar place, apart from taking care of the children, she didn't even have a friend to visit. It was unlike in Hai City, where she could dance square dancing with her familiar neighbors or play mahjong with her colleagues and friends at night. Life was colorful. When they arrived in Beijing, Chen Xing
Life became boring when he arrived in the capital.
After sitting alone at home for a while, seeing that his mother had not returned, Chen Xing thought of his father for no reason. After thinking for a while, Chen Xing shook his head. Now that he was working in Jiang City, which was close to Hai City, he really had to find time to go back to Hai City to visit his father.
After sitting for more than ten minutes, seeing that his mother had not returned, Chen Xing took out his phone and called his brother-in-law, Zhang Yi. Once the call went through, Chen Xing said bluntly, "Brother Zhang, do you know anyone from the SARFT? Introduce me to some leaders who can speak to me."
"Tsk, you are doing your job as a mayor. Why do you have to get involved with the people from the SARFT?" Zhang Yi said angrily on the other end of the phone.
"Brother Zhang, what are you talking about? It just so happens that I need to contact the people from the SARFT for work. What's so strange about that?" Chen Xing smiled and said, "Tell me quickly, do you know anyone?"
