Liu Lihai really couldn't understand why there was such a sudden change. Then one thing was certain, and that was that Guo Baoxin was not satisfied with the itinerary. But he clearly praised the itinerary, and he clearly told him to learn from Xu Xinhua. Why did it suddenly change?
Liu Lihai could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. At the last moment, the secretary rejected all the itinerary, which was a bit unusual. This was also something that Liu Lihai was nervous and worried about. But he found that he couldn't ask anything, nor could he send a message because he was sitting in the same car as the secretary. He could only force himself to focus on his work.
Not long after he got on the car, Guo Baoxin began to rest. On this point, he was different from others, at least in Liu Lihai's eyes. When others got on the car, they would either play with their mobile phones, talk, or chat, but he would almost always seize the time to rest after getting on the car. Even if there were only ten minutes, he would seize the time to sleep. In his words, saving more than ten minutes would allow him to read more information and read more reports that were sent to him. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Guo Baoxin wouldn't sleep in the office. And as long as he was working, he would be full of energy. On this point, Liu Lihai was very convinced by the secretary.
Now that Guo Baoxin was sleeping, Liu Lihai didn't dare to send a message to Yao Haidong or his Sister Leng to ask what was going on, and he didn't dare to close his eyes to rest. He had to pay attention to everything around him, especially the issue of safety. This was his top priority when he stayed by the secretary's side.
If he did something wrong, Liu Lihai thought that he could change it. But if there was a mistake in safety, he would definitely lose the opportunity to change it.
Liu Lihai opened his eyes wider than usual and stared at everything around him. As the car continued to move forward, there were no mistakes along the way, and Liu Lihai also saw where they were going. Because the exit from the highway was actually Wu Zhou. Wu Zhou's territory was quite large, and its economy was also considered medium. In any case, it was not as good as the top, but it was better than the bottom. Moreover, it was located in the Central Plains. Under normal circumstances, there was nothing special about it. Moreover, Zhao Hualiang, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in Wuzhou, was also a moderate. Whether it was the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee or the governor, he was neither warm nor cold to them.
For Guo Baoxin to make this his first stop in such a city, Liu Lihai had no choice but to use his brain and think deeply.
As the car entered the territory of Wuzhou, Liu Lihai suddenly remembered that the day before he went to Beijing, Wuzhou's Municipal Party Committee Secretary Zhao Hualiang came to visit. He had a secret talk with Guo Baoxin. Could it be that at that time, Guo Baoxin had decided to go to Wuzhou as his first stop? But why did he have to find Xu Xinhua to make the itinerary himself? And he even praised Xu Xinhua?
Liu Lihai somewhat understood that Guo Baoxin's intention was to unite all the forces that could be united, and he was playing a political game. The news that he asked Xu Xinhua to pass on and the news of his own actions were a hint. Originally, as the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, which city to go to as the first stop had special political significance. While Jingjiang was vigorously preparing to deal with Guo Baoxin, the wind direction changed. Guo Baoxin abandoned Jingjiang and went straight to Wuzhou. It had to be said that this was Guo Baoxin's cleverness. He not only gave Xu Xinhua a show of strength, but also told Governor Li Gaocheng that he would not disturb Li Gaocheng's sphere of influence.
As the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Guo Baoxin wanted to play a political balance of power. Didn't Li Gaocheng have his sphere of influence? Then Guo Baoxin would set up a sphere of influence that belonged to Guo's style to compete with Li Gaocheng's power. In this way, the highest control of power would return to his own hands in this confrontation. It had to be said that Guo Baoxin's move was brilliant.
The essence of officialdom was to pursue a kind of power balance, especially the women in officialdom, who were always used as pawns by men to balance all parties and factions. Now, Guo Baoxin put his first stop in Wuzhou, which was to play this kind of balance game.
Guo Baoxin had been looking for a decision to enter the power center of Jiangnan, because when he arrived in Jiangnan, the gangs in Jiangnan had already been formed, and the power cake had long been divided. As a leader of the Beijing faction, there was almost no territory that fell to him. Although he was the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and the legal top leader, these local protectionists had their own power to use, and most of the things that often happened to the cadres of the Beijing faction, who overthrew the top leader. This was clear to Guo Baoxin from the first day he arrived in Jiangnan, and he had been observing, looking for a way to take back the cake that had been divided.
Now, seeing that Guo Baoxin set his first stop in Wuzhou, Liu Lihai finally understood what he was playing. After understanding this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. At least his and Xu Xinhua's things were not a problem at all. Compared to the way the secretary did it, they were nothing. Even if they did something wrong, it was considered to be ignored by the secretary.
When the car entered the territory of Wuzhou, Guo Baoxin opened his eyes, which made Liu Lihai even more convinced. How did the secretary know that the car had driven out of Wuzhou?
When Guo Baoxin opened his eyes, Liu Lihai followed the secretary's gaze to the exit of the toll road, only to find that Zhao Hualiang had come with the four big families, and the police car that opened the way was also parked on the side, so that a long line of cars stopped at the toll road, all to welcome the secretary. For the past two days, he had been calling them one by one to not welcome the secretary in such a large scale, but it was all in vain.
Of course, even if the higher-ups told the lower-level leaders not to make a big move to welcome the leader, they would still do it behind the scenes. Of course, of course, it was better to be criticized by the leader than to make the leader unhappy. Who would really blame those who were too polite? Being polite had always been China's way of treating guests, and this was especially used by the local leaders.
Just as Liu Lihai was thinking about this, Guo Baoxin suddenly spoke to him, "Xiao Liu, go down and invite Comrade Hualiang up."
Liu Lihai was suddenly happy. This was the first time Guo Baoxin spoke to him today, and this kind of thing should have been done by Secretary-General Xu Xinhua. Although he was in another car, Guo Baoxin could have asked him to inform Xu Xinhua to do it. Now that he was asked to do it directly, it proved that he was still the person trusted by the secretary, and it also proved that he guessed that the secretary made such a decision to balance the power. As for why he and Xu Xinhua were asked to discuss which prefectures to go to, he believed that the secretary would tell him the reason one day.
Liu Lihai quickly went down and walked towards Zhao Hualiang. Fortunately, he had seen him last time, otherwise, he really wouldn't know which one was Zhao Hualiang. Of course, Zhao Hualiang was also at the front of the welcoming team. As soon as he saw Liu Lihai coming down from the car, Zhao Hualiang greeted him with a warm smile.
Liu Lihai also walked a few steps forward, but Zhao Hualiang's posture was obviously to shake hands, and behind him were the Mayor and the leaders of the four big families. If he shook hands all the way, would it be suitable for him, a small secretary? Moreover, the secretary was still waiting for Zhao Hualiang to get on the car.
Therefore, Liu Lihai had an idea. Before Zhao Lianghua stretched out his hand, he said from afar: "Hello, leaders, the secretary said that he will not get off the car, and will go directly to the place he wants to inspect."
As soon as Liu Lihai's words fell, the leaders who were walking forward with great interest stopped, especially Zhao Hualiang, his face showed a clear look of disappointment. The last time he saw Secretary Guo Baoxin, he clearly said that he wanted to come down and take a walk. Until yesterday, he finally received a call from Guo Baoxin saying that the first stop would be Wu Zhou. This made him happy for the whole night, and he excitedly thought about how to welcome the arrival of Guo Baoxin. Now, the secretary of the provincial party committee came, but he refused to come down. What was the meaning of this? This made Zhao Hualiang puzzled.
Liu Lihai saw Zhao Hualiang's expression, and when the other leaders turned around and walked towards their cars, Liu Lihai quickly looked at Zhao Hualiang and said: "Secretary Hualiang, the secretary wants you to get on our car."
When Zhao Hualiang heard this, his face lit up again, and he quickly lowered his head and said something to Mayor Wu Zhi.
Liu Lihai stood at the side and waited until Zhao Hualiang and Wu Zhi separated, then he and Zhao Hualiang returned to Guo Baoxin's car. During the whole process, Xu Xinhua watched from the other car, but he did not get off work, and of course, he could not get off the car.
Although Liu Lihai left with Zhao Hualiang, when they got on the car, he still let Zhao Hualiang go first. However, when Zhao Hualiang got on the car, Guo Baoxin got angry. He looked at Zhao Hualiang and said: "Comrade Hualiang, didn't I tell you not to hold a large reception? Is it because I, the secretary of the provincial party committee, is too weak? Or did the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee not pass the message down? "
When Zhao Hualiang saw that Guo Baoxin really did not want such a large reception, he was stunned. But he reacted quickly and quickly said: "It's my fault, it's all my fault. I apologize to the secretary, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. "
Because Zhao Hualiang was standing at the aisle, and Liu Lihai also got on the car, there were only the two of them standing in the car. Liu Lihai felt that everyone was looking at him, and he immediately felt awkward. Although it was not him, Liu Lihai also felt that he had done something wrong.
Then, Guo Baoxin said: "Comrade Hualiang, you are blocking Comrade Xiao Liu's way back to his seat." With this, everyone's attention was focused on Liu Lihai, which made him even more at a loss.
Fortunately, Zhao Hualiang was an old fox in the officialdom. When he saw this scene, he quickly looked at Guo Baoxin with a fawning smile and said: "I'll sit next to the secretary, so that I can continue to apologize to the secretary." As he said this, he sat next to Guo Baoxin.
Liu Lihai quickly lowered his head and returned to his seat. Because he was sitting behind Guo Baoxin, he heard Guo Baoxin ask Zhao Hualiang: "How did you arrange it?"
When Guo Baoxin said this, Liu Lihai was even more certain that the secretary's route was already in his mind, it was just that the secretary did not say it.
