At the beginning of 2022, the new Politburo began, just as expected. The Vice Chairman and the Chairman of the Military Commission took over as the General Secretary. This person was the descendant of an old cadre with deep roots. Compared to the previous one, he was tougher, more decisive, and sometimes a little extreme. The new Politburo was not old, with an average age of 55. The international community believed that this Politburo would be the toughest Politburo in China in the past 70 years. If there was an international dispute, this Politburo was the most likely.
As expected, Liu Jingyuan did not succeed. He did not even continue with his original position and directly retired. Although he had mentally prepared himself, he still felt a strong sense of loss. Professor Chu, who had already retired, was more optimistic. He said that he wanted Liu Jingyuan to accompany him on a trip. They would spend a year or two touring the country, and then go to Shin Myung Province to settle down. From tomorrow onwards, he would wake up early every morning to train his body so that he could hike and climb mountains. Liu Jingyuan was also a very detached person. He quickly recovered from his disappointment and truly entered the life of an old man.
The new Secretary of the Red River Party Committee, Lu Heping, and the Governor, Lu Yong, both came from other places. Liu Dehou was transferred to the central government as the Director of the Taiwan Affairs Office. A deputy director was transferred from the Central Development and Reform Commission to become the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Gu Yi City. Zhao Hengguang was transferred to the Mayor. The new Mayor of Gu Yi City, Zhang Gaoke, was said to have been the secretary of Secretary Lu Heping. The former Mayor of Gu Yi City, Nong Zhengpeng, was transferred to the Red River Party Committee. Huang Shengyuan, Huang Chenglong, and the others were all separated. Huang Shengyuan was transferred to Youzhou, and Huang Chenglong was transferred to Lingdong. Their positions were both Deputy Mayors.
The teams in Longjiang District and Qingshan County did not change, but they still looked like a storm was about to come. Lan Shigao and Zhang Zhihe calmly reported to the Provincial People's Congress. They were already 57 or 58 years old, so they could retire after this term. They could safely enter the semi-retirement period, which could be considered the last step of their official career. Being able to retire from this position had already exceeded their expectations, so they were very satisfied. During the New Year, Zhang Zhengping was on duty at the laboratory in Qingshan Town. Zhang Zhihe and Big Sister Liang brought Mo Jiao and Zhang Peng to Shin Myung Province. In the palace of Shin Myung Province, Zhang Zhihe and Chen Weizheng had a pleasant conversation.
At that time, Mo Jiao was complaining to Liu Yi. Mo Jiao said that she really wanted to resign and return to Qingshan Town to accompany Zhang Zhengping. Pengpeng was already one and a half years old. She spent too little time with her father and always took care of the child by herself. The child would slowly grow up. A boy would be with his mother all day long. When he grew up, he would have too much femininity but not enough masculinity.
Big Sister Liang's interest was piqued by the conversation. She asked Mo Jiao if Zhengping's salary was enough to feed the entire family if he didn't work. The current cost of living was so high, and a low income would affect the quality of life.
Mo Jiao smiled and looked at her mother. She said, "Mom, you don't have to worry about this. Zhengping's current income is more than enough to eat for five lifetimes. He has shares in the battery factory in Longjiang. Brother-in-law wants him to fork out some money for Pengpeng's milk powder every month, and it can't be less than 20 million. That's 300 million a year. Our account with the Swiss bank now has more than 500 million RMB."
"500 million!" Big Sister Liang was shocked. One million was enough to make one rich, ten million was enough to make one rich, and more than 100 million was enough to make one very rich. She didn't expect to have such a rich man in her family.
Zhang Zhihe was shocked when he heard this. He asked Chen Weizheng what was going on. Chen Weizheng told him that the battery factory in Longjiang was a department under the experimental zone in Qingshan Town, but in reality, it was an independent unit. The profits and expenses had nothing to do with the experimental zone. They only had to pay a management fee every year. The management fee was mostly for the experimental zone to pay the employees' salaries. As the general manager, Zhang Zhengping had a management fund with nine points of net profit. These nine points were equivalent to 270 million RMB. One of the points was for Zhang Zhengping himself. That was close to 30 million RMB a month. After two years, he should have 500 to 600 million RMB. Mo Jiao wasn't exaggerating when she said that he could eat for five lifetimes.
Zhang Zhihe said that this was dangerous. The country didn't allow individuals to have so much money. Zhengping had to leave. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to leave if he was exposed.
Chen Weizheng said that the money was transferred from the Longshan Finance Company to Mo Jiao's bank account overseas. Even if they could find out, the country wouldn't dare to touch Zhengping. Because if they did, the Longjiang Battery Factory would run out of rice. They would stop production in one month at most due to the lack of materials. All the battery production in the country would also stop.
Zhang Zhihe knew about the status of the battery factory in Longjiang. However, he didn't know that Zhang Zhengping was so important to the battery factory. In his mind, Zhang Zhengping would always be that dim-witted, slow-witted, and timid young man.
If this was the case, he had to leave as soon as possible. He asked Chen Weizheng if he had a solution. Chen Weizheng said that he had a solution, but it was not something that could be done openly. Although Zhang Zhihe was a typical Bolshevik, he would be unscrupulous when it came to his only son. He asked if there was a solution.
Chen Weizheng told Zhang Zhihe that Zhengping was suffering from meningitis. Now, he only needed to do a CT scan on his head. He would be able to see that there were a few lumps in the blood vessels in his head. With these lumps, it wouldn't be strange if there were any problems.
Zhang Zhihe asked Chen Weizheng how he knew there were lumps in Zhengping's head. Chen Weizheng said that he had brought Zhengping to the hospital for a check-up. If he didn't get a check-up, he wouldn't be allowed to practice Qigong. Now, Zhengping was mainly using Qigong to clear the clogged blood vessels. But the lumps did not disappear. It would take at least ten years for the lumps to disappear.
Zhang Zhihe finally knew why Zhengping was able to return to normal. It was all thanks to his son-in-law. Zhang Zhihe was not a very cautious person. It was entirely because of his son, who was a huge burden, that he became a cautious person in the officialdom. He was afraid that if he made any mistakes, his son would become even more pitiful without anyone to take care of him. Therefore, he was not greedy, did not take advantage of others, and lived a poor and strict life. During the Spring Festival of 2015, Zhang Zhengping miraculously recovered. He also regained the vitality of his life. In the past seven years, his mind was clear and his work was rigorous. Whether it was in Tan City or abroad, he truly embodied the excellent qualities and qualities of a social worker. He received unanimous praise from all walks of life. However, his son was still the most important in his heart. Once he thought that his son was in danger, he would do anything to solve it. Even if the solution would harm the interests of more people, he would not hesitate.
After careful planning, the father-in-law and son-in-law believed that Zhang Zhengping had to pretend to be sick after the business buyback in Longjiang District was completed. If he pretended to be sick before, the business buyback could not be carried out normally and it would affect the overall plan. The two of them did not expect that because of their selfish plan, it would cause a huge uproar in Gu Yi City.
Xiao Zhu had a lot of opinions about her father being sent to be the director of the Taiwan Affairs Office. She felt that this was a reflection of the darkness in the officialdom. She did not return to China for the New Year. Instead, she spent the New Year with Wang Xian's parents in Shin Myung Province. When she visited Chen Weizheng on the first day of the New Year, she asked Zhang Zhihe if it was a blessing or a curse for her father to go to the central government.
Zhang Zhihe told Xiao Zhu that Liu Dehou was only 50 years old. According to his theory, he was in the prime of his life. If he was in the position of deputy state leader for 10 years, it was completely possible for him to enter the first group. Because of Chen Weizheng's battery project, a group of people in Gu Yi City had climbed to a high position because of him. Among them, Liu Dehou was the best because of his age. However, it was also because of Chen Weizheng's identity as the King of Shin Myung Province that restricted the development of this group of people. It was destined that we could only stop here. How to arrange Liu Dehou's position? If the central government put in so much effort to arrange for him to continue being a border official, there would be concerns. If he was transferred to the central government to be a ministerial leader, the threat would be too big. It would be better to put him in this position. His position was not low, but he had no real power and he had to take into account Chen Weizheng's face. If there was a need, they could use Liu Dehou to restrain Chen Weizheng. It was killing many birds with one stone. As for Liu Dehou, he would gradually fade out of people's sight. Unless there was an incident that could only be settled by Liu Dehou, Liu Dehou would stay in this position for 10 years until he retired.
Xiao Zhu shook her head. She said that she was still rational. She ran to Shin Myung Province early and hid under her elder brother's wings.
Hearing everyone chatting, Hua Zheng, who was running around with his little follower Zhang Peng, shoved Zhang Peng to Xian Hua and let her continue to be crazy with Zhang Peng. He walked to Chen Weizheng and sat down beside him. He asked Zhang Zhihe, "Grandfather, if the enterprises in Gu Yi City were to be bought back, will Qingshan Town return to its poor and backward state?"
"Haha, Hua Zheng can still remember the poor and backward state of Qingshan Town?" Zhang Zhihe joked.
"Yes, I remember!" Hua Zheng didn't seem to be joking. He said seriously, "I remember when I first came to Chen Village in Longshan. At that time, Chen Village was really poor. My mother still had some money and would occasionally buy some meat to eat. It was common for the other children to not eat meat for 10 days to half a month. Before Uncle Weiyi went to work at the Longshan Battery Plant, his family was even poorer than my mother's. I often brought snacks for Uncle Weiyi's son, Brother Huaping. Every time he ate, his eyes would shine. "
"Ever since the Longshan Battery Plant was built, Longshan Chen Village broke out of poverty. Great-grandmother Liu taught everyone to plant dendrobium, which made more people rich. Uncle Wei Lai became famous and built a mineral water factory. Longshan Chen Village changed greatly. " Hua Zheng spoke very calmly, but his words were very attractive. Even Liu Yi, Mo Jiao, and Big Sister Liang, who were chatting on the side, were attracted to him. Hua Zheng continued, "Longshan Battery moved to Longguang City. Coupled with Uncle's withdrawal from Longjiang Battery, Longjiang Battery will only exist in name. Without Longshan Battery and Longjiang Battery, the companies in Longjiang District will only buy back a pile of garbage. The new government that came up with the buyback plan will definitely go for wool and come home shorn. In the end, there is only one way to solve this problem, and that is to ask Granduncle for help. At that time, even if Uncle is no longer in the experimental area, Longjiang Battery Plant can still be left to Uncle Yang Kai. However, Granduncle can't go back to the Taiwan Administration Office. He has to be placed in another department with power. If he doesn't do this, then the higher-ups will completely give up on Longjiang District. Or maybe Granduncle doesn't want to deal with these things that don't belong to him. "
After listening to Hua Zheng, Zhang Zhihe thought for a while and said, "If I were Liu Dehou, I wouldn't deal with these things that don't belong to me."
