Li Haocheng was silent for a while. If someone else had comforted him like this, Li Haocheng would have lost his temper. Who knew how many years he would have to wait? In his position, age was extremely precious. In fact, there were many unwritten sayings in the officialdom. One of them was that if one was not promoted to the main hall at the age of 48, he would not have much potential in the future. Of course, this unwritten saying was not absolute. As long as one had a strong background, anything was possible. However, if one really had a strong background, it was impossible for him to be worried about being promoted to the main hall at that age.
Li Haocheng was only 43 years old this year. He was still young to be the Executive Deputy Mayor. If he could become the mayor this time, Li Haocheng would really have a chance to be promoted to the Deputy Governor in the future, which was also Li Haocheng's biggest wish. If he wanted to be promoted to the main hall, he would need someone from the central government. Li Haocheng did not have that kind of background, nor did he dare to think about it. He had thought that with the help of the old leader, Wang Qinghai, this time, he would have more than a 50% chance of winning the position of mayor. After all, the old leader had his own network and influence in Nanhai Province. It was not difficult to run a main hall. In the officialdom, everyone had their own pit. Whoever wanted to occupy a good position and become a vested interest had to make corresponding sacrifices. Wang Qinghai had hinted to Li Haocheng that he would strongly support him this time, and Li Haocheng himself had great hopes. However, no one had expected such a dramatic result.
Old Secretary, what was the background of Chen Xing? Li Haocheng asked again unwillingly. Just now, he had asked again, but Wang Qinghai did not answer him. Li Haocheng finally asked again unwillingly.
Chen Xing's background, hey, is bigger than you think. It has something to do with the Zhang family in the capital. Wang Qinghai raised his hand and pointed to the sky. His expression became more serious. When it came to the Zhang family, even a ministerial cadre like Wang Qinghai would feel inexplicable pressure. That was the real red aristocracy.
Is it related to the Zhang family? Li Haocheng almost cried out in surprise. He looked at Wang Qinghai in disbelief. After getting the affirmative answer from the other party's eyes, Li Haocheng took a deep breath. This news was completely unexpected. Li Haocheng stared at the teacup on the table with some palpitations. After a long time, he smiled bitterly. "Old Secretary, it seems that I have no hope."
Xiao Li, this is not like you. You have always been very confident. You don't have to be discouraged now. Chen Xing may just be here to gain experience and may leave after two or three years. You are still young and can afford to wait. Don't be too hasty. You can take this as a chance to accumulate experience. After Chen Xing leaves, the position of mayor will be yours. Wang Qinghai faintly smiled.
"Old Secretary, if it is really like what you said, then I will accept it this time. I am afraid that he is not. I can still wait for two or three years, and I can also afford to wait for four or five years. If he does not leave after one term, then I can only cry to myself." Li Haocheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. In front of the old leader, he could only complain like this. If he said more, he knew that Wang Qinghai would not like to hear it. "No, it is useless for you to think too much now.
No, it's useless for you to think too much now. The key is to keep your cool. Chen Xing will probably leave after working for two to three years. I think you should cooperate with Chen Xing and do your job well. The sooner he achieves some achievements, the sooner he can leave. This might not be a bad thing for you. Wang Qinghai frowned.
"Old Secretary, you see, I can calmly cooperate with Chen Xing's work now. I am full of anger …" Li Haocheng smiled helplessly. At first, when he heard that the old leader wanted him to cooperate with Chen Xing's work, Li Haocheng's heart was really annoyed. In front of the old leader, he did not dare to show anything. He could only say, "Old Secretary, what if that Chen Xing and Secretary Jianming come together? If the two of them joined forces, the situation in Nanzhou City would really be under their control. Both of them came from the central government. Even if they had no relationship, they had to face the pressure of the local party together. Maybe they would join forces. After all, they had no conflict of interest.
Li Haocheng's words also made Wang Qinghai slightly startled. He glanced at Li Haocheng. Wang Qinghai did not deny that what the other party said might really happen. If that was the case, it would not be a good thing for Wang Qinghai. As one of the main pillars of the local party, although Wang Qinghai and Governor Shun Baolai had different opinions in some areas, and there were certain contradictions between the two sides, this was only an internal matter of the local party. In terms of external affairs, even if there were any differences between the two sides, they would unite to fight against the outside world. This was also the reason why the current Provincial Party Committee Secretary Fu Youjun could not really fully control the situation. The Provincial government had Shun Baolai, and the National People's Congress had Wang Qinghai. The two sides were enough to restrain Fu Youjun. If the two of them joined forces, even Fu Youjun would have a headache.
Ge Jian-ming can fight for Chen Xing, but it doesn't mean we can't fight for Chen Xing. It all depends on our own ability. Wang Qinghai snorted and glanced at Li Haocheng. How could Wang Qinghai not know what Li Haocheng was thinking? There is no need for you to make things difficult for Chen Xing. Now that Chen Xing has already become the mayor, there is no harm in building a good relationship with him. If Ge Jian-ming wants to rope in Chen Xing, we can create contradictions between them.
In the Nanzhou Municipal Government Building, Jiang Bingxuan, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government, took Chen Xing to familiarize himself with the Municipal Government Office Building. They went to the departments directly under the Municipal Government. After a round, Jiang Bingxuan introduced the new office to Chen Xing. After a short while, a young man stood at the door and knocked. Jiang Bingxuan looked back and nodded, gesturing for the person to come in. He pointed at the young man and introduced him to Chen Xing. Mayor Chen, this is your secretary, Deng Qingming, a very outstanding young man.
Hmm. Chen Xing looked up at the young man and nodded at Deng Qingming. Then he looked back at Jiang Bingxuan. Secretary-General Jiang, please give me a copy of our city's economic data for the past five years. I want to have a look.
Okay, if Mayor Chen doesn't have any other orders, I will go ahead with my work. Jiang Bingxuan smiled and turned to pat Deng Qingming's shoulder. Little Deng, Mayor Chen has just arrived and is not familiar with a lot of work. You have to be a good secretary.
I will do my best to serve Mayor Chen well. Deng Qingming straightened his back as if he was making a military pledge. There was a flash of excitement in his eyes. From today on, his identity would be completely different. He would become a hot man in the Municipal Government.
Jiang Bingxuan soon left Chen Xing's office. Chen Xing stared at Deng Qingming for a while and said, Little Deng, you go ahead with your work. I will call you if there is anything.
Okay, Mayor, call me if you have any orders. Deng Qingming nodded and left Chen Xing's office respectfully. Behind him, Chen Xing stared at Deng Qingming's back. No one knew what he was thinking. This was the secretary arranged by the office for him. Chen Xing had just arrived, so he would use it for the time being.
Jiang Bingxuan appeared in the office of Deputy Mayor Zhang Xinjun. Seeing Jiang Bingxuan, Zhang Xinjun stood up and smiled. Bingxuan, didn't Chen Xing say anything?
He didn't say anything. He has just arrived and wants to choose his own secretary. He doesn't know the situation. He will definitely use the secretary arranged by us first. Jiang Bingxuan smiled and shook his head. By the way, Mayor Li didn't come back from the meeting.
No, I don't know where he went. The corner of Zhang Xinjun's mouth twitched slightly. He thought to himself that Li Haocheng must have gone somewhere to lick his wounds. It would be strange if he would come back so soon.
Jiang Bingxuan agreed. He sat in Zhang Xinjun's office for a while and then left. Just when Jiang Bingxuan left, Zhang Xinjun's secretary, Li Dejun, hurried in and whispered something in Zhang Xinjun's ear. Zhang Xinjun frowned slightly and walked to the corridor outside the office. He looked in the direction of the gate and hesitated for a while. Then he said, "Dejun, go and tell the gate guard to tell Chen Deshi that Mayor Chen has no time to see him.
I will call him right away. " Li Dejun was stunned and immediately nodded.
At this moment, in the guard room at the gate of the Municipal Government, the well-behaved Chen Deshi was waiting. He came to see Chen Xing. As soon as he explained the situation, a security guard in the guard room immediately asked, "Who are you? Do you think you can see the new Mayor Chen just because you want to? Don't you know what kind of place this is? If anyone can see the Mayor, then the Mayor's office will be overcrowded." Chen Deshi braced himself and said that he knew Mayor Chen and asked the guard to call him if he didn't believe him. Chen Deshi's attitude also made the guard feel uncertain. He didn't know who Chen Deshi was, but if he really knew the Mayor, if he drove him away, he was afraid that he would have to bear the consequences later.
Therefore, the guard called the office to ask. Although he couldn't call the Mayor's office directly, he could call the Municipal Government's office directly. Coincidentally, Li Dejun was looking for information in the office, so he picked up the phone. It had to be said that Li Dejun, as the leader's secretary, was very sensitive and vigilant. Other people in the Municipal Government might not know Chen Deshi, but he did. This was because when Chen Xing visited Chen Deshi as the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Education, Zhang Xinjun, as the municipal leader in charge of education, attended the banquet that night. Chen Xing also asked the city to invite Chen Deshi for dinner. Li Dejun only knew Chen Deshi, and he also knew that Chen Deshi was from the Nanzhou State Steel Factory.
