When Chen Xing returned to Nanzhou, the Provincial Party Committee had already officially appointed Deng Yi. Deng Yi served as a member of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee, Standing Committee, and Secretary. Chen Jindong, the Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee, announced this appointment on behalf of the Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee. This also announced that Nanzhou had officially bid farewell to the Ge Jian-ming era and entered the Deng Yi era.
Whether it was Ge Jian-ming or Deng Yi, they were both people who had a close relationship with Fu Youjun. For Chen Xing, the biggest difference between Deng Yi as the Secretary was that the two had more conflicts in private. This was bad news, but work still had to be done. The two maintained a harmonious relationship on the surface. At least after the meeting, they nodded to each other as a greeting.
Mayor, I'm afraid the days ahead will not be easy. After the meeting of the Municipal Party Committee, Shao Huadong and Chen Xing walked down the stairs side by side. There was no one around. Shao Huadong said this.
Work as usual, there was no need to care so much. Chen Xing smiled. Right, how is the Beishan Reservoir problem?
Those who should be arrested were arrested, and those who should be punished were punished. Basically, all the senior leaders of the Beishan Reservoir Administration Bureau were punished. Shao Huadong shook his head. The Beishan Reservoir incident made people break out in a cold sweat. Shao Huadong had no sympathy for those vermin in the Reservoir Administration Bureau.
I remember the Deputy Director who came to report. What was his name again? Zhang Shaoliang?
Yes, his name is Zhang Shaoliang. Shao Huadong nodded, as if he knew what Chen Xing wanted to ask. Zhang Shaoliang himself is not a big problem, but his father is. The problematic projects of the Beishan Reservoir were contracted by his father. I heard that Zhang Shaoliang's relationship with his father was very strained because of this. When the discipline inspection department is handling the case, it is not appropriate for us to ask directly.
He didn't collude with them, so he was considered to have a conscience. Although he reported the news late, he still played a role at a critical moment. Such a cadre, if it is verified that there are no problems, we can still put him in an important position. His father is his father, it has nothing to do with him. What era are we living in now, we don't have to deal with people who are connected to each other anymore. Chen Xing smiled.
Listening to the mayor's words, it seemed that he was appreciative of talent and wanted to speak up for Zhang Shaoliang? Shao Huadong smiled.
As long as he has the ability, it doesn't matter if I speak up for him. The premise is that he has no problems with his own investigation. Chen Xing smiled. We can talk to Deputy Mayor Ma about this. I think we can promote Zhang Shaoliang to a more important position. Anyway, he is just a section-level cadre. We can go through the appointment and removal process internally.
Alright, I'll bring it up with Deputy Mayor Ma later. Shao Huadong nodded. He was just a section-level officer, so Shao Huadong didn't think it was a big deal.
When the two of them walked downstairs and were about to get into their respective cars, someone was already calling for Chen Xing. They saw Deng Yi's secretary, Jin Rui, running down the stairs, panting. Mayor Chen, Secretary Deng wants to see you.
Hmm? Chen Xing raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jin Rui.
Secretary Deng would like to invite you upstairs. Jin Rui repeated with a smile.
Mayor Chen, I'll go back first. Shao Huadong said at this time. He winked at Chen Xing, then turned around and got into the car.
When he returned to the Municipal Party Committee building, Chen Xing's expressionless face was already quietly wondering why Deng Yi, who had just taken office, immediately came to see him. Did he want to show his authority as soon as he arrived? Or was there something else?
Mayor Chen, please. Secretary Deng is waiting for you inside. At the door of Deng Yi's office, Jin Rui respectfully invited Chen Xing in, and then closed the office door.
Walking into Deng Yi's office, Chen Xing found that Deng Yi was making tea by himself. Seeing this scene, Chen Xing couldn't help but smile. Deng Yi was in a good mood!
Oh, Mayor Chen Xing is here. Please sit down, please sit down. Deng Yi raised his head and glanced at Chen Xing. He smiled and waved his hand to signal Chen Xing to sit down, but he didn't get up. With his position, he was indeed qualified to sit down. However, the private conflict between the two of them inevitably made people think too much.
Why did Secretary Deng invite me here? Chen Xing stood in the same place.
I heard that Mayor Chen Xing just went to the capital for the subway project. Is there any progress? Deng Yi's eyes swept over Chen Xing. He still kept a smile on his face, but his heart was already unhappy. He asked Chen Xing to sit down, but Chen Xing was still standing. His meaning was self-evident.
Not yet. The city still needs some time to prepare for the project. The approval of the urban light rail project by the central government is very strict. It is not easy to approve. Chen Xing said indifferently. Private conflicts should not be involved in work. This was Chen Xing's principle, especially for a big project like the subway project. Without the support of Deng Yi, the new leader of the Municipal Party Committee, it would not be easy to push forward. Therefore, Chen Xing at this moment answered Deng Yi's inquiry truthfully.
It seems that if Nanzhou City wants to have its own subway, we still have to work hard. Deng Yi frowned and then smiled. But this kind of thing can't be rushed. As long as we have this condition, I believe that the higher-ups will not deliberately refuse to approve it, right? If they don't approve it, our cadres will have to sit in the Development and Reform Commission every day, which will make them annoyed.
Maybe we can try the method that Secretary Deng mentioned. Chen Xing responded with a serious expression.
Mayor Chen Xing, I didn't know that you are also very humorous. Deng Yi laughed. He just said it casually. This kind of thing naturally can't be taken seriously.
Chen Xing curled his lips. It was the first day that Deng Yi took office, but he got into the role faster than anyone else. As for his whereabouts, I'm afraid that before Deng Yi took office, someone from the Municipal Government had already reported to him.
Secretary Deng, is there anything else? Chen Xing obviously didn't want to stay any longer, so he asked directly.
Nothing else. I just asked you to come over and ask about the subway project. Even the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee attach great importance to this matter. They hope that Nanzhou City will pay close attention to it, so we can't slack off. Deng Yi looked at Chen Xing and deliberately emphasized the words "leaders of the Provincial Party Committee".
The importance of the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee is a spur to us. But the preparation work in the city has been in full swing. We will try our best not to let the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee down. Chen Xing said, "If there is nothing else, Secretary Deng, I will leave first.
Well, Mayor Chen Xing, go ahead. " Deng Yi nodded and looked at the back of Chen Xing as he left. His face suddenly became gloomy.
The new leader of the Municipal Party Committee and the leader of the Municipal Government who took office less than a year ago. The first meeting between the two ended like this. Not counting the previous meeting, this was the first face-to-face confrontation between the two after Deng Yi took office as the leader of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee. There were silent sparks in their words. No one could predict the future results. However, there was no doubt that the situation in Nanzhou City would be more turbulent than before.
When Chen Xing returned to the Municipal Government, it was almost noon. Huang Jianghua sorted out the important documents that needed to be reviewed in the next two days. Chen Xing looked at the time. It was almost twelve o 'clock. He waved his hand at Huang Jianghua. At this time, how could he still be in the mood to review the documents?
Xiao Huang, go eat. Don't be busy. Sitting on the chair, Chen Xing said to Huang Jianghua.
Okay, I'll go later. Mayor, do you want to eat in the cafeteria, or should I help you get it? Huang Jianghua glanced at Chen Xing and asked.
No, I'm going out. Chen Xing shook his head.
As he spoke, Chen Xing also got up and walked out. There were a few unread text messages on his phone. Chen Xing casually glanced at them and put the phone back in his pocket.
The former leader of the Department of Higher Education, Wang Rongyan, had been transferred to the Provincial government as the governor's assistant, assisting the governor in the construction of new towns, poverty alleviation, and post-disaster reconstruction. He was no longer the secretary of the Nanzhou University Party Committee. Chen Xing called Wang Rongyan to congratulate him, but Wang Rongyan was probably quite busy after taking over the new job. He just hurriedly said a few words and hung up. Chen Xing didn't mind. He wanted to have a chance to invite Wang Rongyan out again. If Wang Rongyan refused, then there was nothing to say.
It was easy to go through trials and tribulations together, but difficult to share riches together. The words of the ancients that could be passed down were all true. Chen Xing shook his head slightly. Wang Rongyan was transferred from the position of the Department of Higher Education to the Nanzhou University Party Committee Secretary. On the surface, it was a promotion, but in reality, it was a demotion. After he was also transferred to the Nanzhou Mayor, the relationship between the two became good. Now that Wang Rongyan had climbed back up, his attitude became playful again. Chen Xing was also a little helpless about this. However, there was nothing strange about the coldness of the officialdom and the unfathomable nature of people's hearts.
After leaving the Municipal Government, Chen Xing took a car to Xinmin Hotel. At the entrance of the hotel, Deng Erming had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Chen Xing arrive, he greeted him with a smile. Mayor Chen, I've been looking forward to seeing you.
Mr. Deng, you're too polite. I don't know what day it is today, but why did you think of treating me to dinner? Chen Xing smiled.
What are you talking about, Mayor Chen? If Mayor Chen is willing to give me face, I can't wait to treat you to dinner every day. Deng Erming smiled. If it wasn't for Tan Zheng, he knew that it would be more difficult to invite Chen Xing out than to reach the sky.
Chen Xing glanced at Deng Erming and smiled. Before Tan Zheng left, he specially called Deng Erming over and asked him to take care of him. Chen Xing couldn't figure out the relationship between the two, but he definitely had to give face to Tan Zheng. However, if he was close to Deng Erming because of this, Chen Xing obviously wouldn't do it. If it wasn't for Tan Zheng, he wouldn't have come at noon today.
Mayor Chen, please. Seeing that Chen Xing didn't say anything, Deng Erming knew that some things should be said first. If he said more, it would spoil the mood. He smiled and invited Chen Xing in. He didn't say anything more.
The two of them sat down in the private room and saw that Deng Erming was the only one there. Chen Xing was a little disappointed that the stunning woman who had appeared together with Deng Erming last time was not here. Beautiful women were always pleasing to the eye.
Mayor Chen, would you like some wine? Deng Erming sat down and asked Chen Xing.
No, I still have to work in the afternoon. Leaders can't take the lead in violating the discipline. Chen Xing smiled slightly.
Yes, Mayor Chen is right. Deng Erming nodded in agreement with Chen Xing's words. The disapproval deep in his eyes was well concealed. Officials liked to pretend to be serious. This was Deng Erming's impression in his heart.
Chen Xing glanced at Deng Erming and didn't say anything. He didn't believe that Deng Erming simply invited him to lunch at noon. However, if Deng Erming didn't say anything, he would pretend that he didn't know and leave after lunch. He had to give face to Tan Zheng, but he didn't have to take the initiative to ask Deng Erming what he wanted. Their relationship hadn't reached that point.
…
Lakeview Hotel, the first day of Deng Yi's new office. At noon, Deng Yi chose to invite the former old secretary, Chen Tongjin, to a banquet in the hotel. He didn't choose the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee, nor did he go to the designated hotel that he usually went to. Deng Yi's invitation to Chen Tongjin was quite interesting. He didn't want to make it known to the public, but he also wanted to show his goodwill to Chen Tongjin. The purpose of Deng Yi's action was nothing more than to send a friendly signal to the local faction. However, it was undoubtedly important for Deng Yi to grasp the degree. After all, he was a member of Fu Youjun.
The banquet at noon was a bit private. Deng Yi's son, Deng Wenhua, and Chen Tongjin's son, Chen Dafei, were also present, including Deputy Mayor Zeng Gaoqiang, Deng Yi's secretary and driver. There were seven people at the table.
Deng Yi was in a good mood. When Chen Tongjin served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Nanzhou, he was only the mayor of Tongnan City. Tongnan City, an economically backward city, was not as good as those economically developed cities in the province. As a mayor, he was inferior to the mayors of some economically developed cities. Chen Tongjin, who had already entered the core power level of the Provincial Party Committee, could only look up to him. Now, he had come to Chen Tongjin's former position, but Chen Tongjin was already old. This was the result of the saying that the new waves of the Yangtze River drive the old waves, and the old waves die on the beach. Now, he didn't need to look up to Chen Tongjin.
There was no comparison between the two. In the future, with Secretary Deng in charge of Nanzhou, I believe that Nanzhou City will be brought to a new height. Secretary Deng, my old bones will drink with you. Chen Tongjin smiled and raised his glass to Deng Yi.
The current situation of Nanzhou City is due to the efforts of Secretary Chen, Secretary Jianming, and some previous cadres. Without you, there would be no Nanzhou today. As a latecomer, I have to respect Secretary Chen. Deng Yi smiled.
Haha, Secretary Deng is thoughtful. Now there are few people like Secretary Deng who respect old cadres. Some of our young comrades have no hair in their mouths and are not reliable in their work. They are dismissive of old comrades and don't respect them at all. I don't know how the organization department examines such young cadres. How can they be allowed to take important leadership positions? Chen Tongjin clinked glasses with Deng Yi and said with an indignant expression.
