He called Secretary Du Minsheng and told him where Song Chaoyang and Huang Xinnian were and when they would arrive at the Municipal Party Committee. Du Minsheng said, "Ask the Secretary if we should prepare lunch for Secretary Huang since it's almost noon."
Li Rui felt that his question was very boring. Was there even a need to ask? Not to mention the provincial party secretary, even the president of the country had to eat lunch. Wasn't this question superfluous? But out of respect, he didn't ask any questions and turned to Song Chaoyang.
Song Chaoyang took the phone from him and said to Du Minsheng, "Since Secretary Huang is here in plain clothes, we don't have to make it too grand. We don't have to go to Qingyang Hotel for lunch. Just ask the cafeteria to prepare some delicate stir-fried dishes and ask the cafeteria to pack them up and send them to the building. " Du Minsheng said, "Okay, I understand. Secretary, give the phone to Xiao Rui. I have something to tell him."
After Li Rui got the phone, Du Minsheng said, "Xiao Rui, I have an urgent task for you. Later, when you arrive at the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary Huang will definitely talk to the Secretary alone. You will be in charge of receiving Director Shi Peide. You must ask him about Secretary Huang's preferences and get back to me as soon as possible. Do you understand? " This was the first time Li Rui had seen the style of a Provincial Party Secretary. In order to receive him well, the Municipal Party Secretary actually wanted to study his preferences. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and ears, he wouldn't have believed it. He quickly said, "Secretary, don't worry. I promise to complete the task."
When the Municipal Party Committee car arrived at the entrance of the Municipal Party Committee, Li Rui immediately got out of the car and told the security guard and the old gatekeeper not to block the Audi behind them. He then personally stood at the entrance and watched the car drive into the courtyard.
Speaking of the security at the entrance of the Municipal Party Committee, some places had security guards in charge, some places had internal security guards, and some places had no guards at all. In fact, it wasn't just the local authorities. Even the national authorities were different in this regard. Some places had security guards guarding the door, while others had armed police standing guard. There were two systems. Until now, no one had been able to give a clear explanation as to why this was the case. It could only be said that the situation was different from place to place.
According to the Armed Police Law of the People's Republic of China, the Armed Police Force is required to provide armed security for the objects, targets and major activities specified by the state. They are also required to provide armed security for important public facilities related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. However, there was no clear definition of what "important public facilities" and "national security objectives" were. There was no specific explanation of these provisions in public information.
However, ordinary people definitely wouldn't care about the difference. They were more concerned about which units were easy to enter and which were difficult to enter. The Qingyang Municipal Party Committee did a good job in this regard. They did not use the armed police, which symbolized the armed forces, to stand guard. Instead, they chose more friendly security guards.
The first car of the Municipal Party Committee and the official car of the Provincial Party Secretary, Huang Xinnian, were parked side by side in front of the Municipal Party Committee building.
At this time, Li Rui was rushing over. He wanted to catch up with his boss, Song Chaoyang, to open the car door. The reason why he didn't run was because he had to take into account his image in public. Now that he was the first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he could do things in a hurry, but he had to do it steadily and stylishly. If he ran, he would definitely look impatient and impatient. He would definitely be laughed at in the eyes of others, especially Huang Xinnian and Shi Peide.
Unfortunately, Song Chaoyang didn't wait for him to reach the first car. He opened the car door himself and rushed to open the door for Huang Xinnian.
Shi Peide also got out of the car at the same time. However, he stood outside the front passenger door and didn't move. He smiled as he watched Song Chaoyang walk over.
Song Chaoyang knew that he had handed the job of opening the car door for Huang Xinnian to him. He secretly praised Li Rui's cleverness. He smiled at him and walked to the back door to open the car door.
Huang Xinnian stretched out his legs and squeezed out.
Song Chaoyang said respectfully, "Secretary, why are you …" Huang Xinnian cut him off. "Let's talk upstairs."
Song Chaoyang didn't dare to say anything else. He turned to the side and invited him in. Huang Xinnian walked into the building. Song Chaoyang carefully followed half a step behind to keep him company. Shi Peide was one step behind again.
Li Rui had also rushed over and silently followed behind Shi Peide. It was only when they entered the elevator lobby that he suddenly quickened his steps and rushed to press the elevator button. Then, he obediently hid behind Song Chaoyang.
Huang Xinnian stood in front of the elevator door. He didn't look at anyone. His wise and experienced eyes only stared at the elevator door. His two hands were casually folded in front of his abdomen. It was a very casual standing posture, but it was very imposing.
Li Rui understood that this was the so-called official aura and prestige. This was not seen in ordinary officials. Even his own boss, Song Chaoyang, had not cultivated such an imposing and prestigious aura. He had to go through the ups and downs of the official world for decades and finally become a leader. He secretly admired him. He didn't know if he would be able to cultivate such an aura in the future.
They took the elevator to the ninth floor. Huang Xinnian was led into Song Chaoyang's office by Song Chaoyang. Shi Peide didn't wait for his boss's instructions. He filled the thermos cup with water and placed it on the coffee table in front of him. Then, he retreated to the outer room and closed the door behind him.
Li Rui hurriedly asked Shi Peide to take a seat and poured tea for him. He was extremely polite and polite to him.
Speaking of which, Li Rui was now considered a popular person in Qingyang. He might not be a big shot, but he was more valuable than a big shot. He could be considered brothers with the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee. He could also chat and laugh with the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. However, when facing Shi Peide, the First Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, he didn't dare to show a trace of arrogance. He was gentle and attentive, treating him like how he treated his boss, Song Chaoyang. There was no other reason. It was because this person represented the Provincial Party Committee Secretary, Huang Xinnian. How could he dare to underestimate him?
Shi Peide saw his attitude and was very satisfied. He took the initiative to chat with him.
After the two exchanged a few words, Li Rui remembered the political mission that Secretary General Du Minsheng had just assigned to him. He took the opportunity to ask, "Shi Chu, do you want to have a little lunch in the city?" Shi Peide nodded and said, "I was just about to tell you. Just prepare something simple and don't be too extravagant." Li Rui asked, "Secretary Huang's taste …?" Shi Peide smiled and said, "Secretary Huang is from Hunan. He likes spicy food." Li Rui remembered this and asked again, "Is there any dish that Secretary Huang likes?" Shi Peide said, "Spicy diced chicken is good. You can put more spicy and less diced chicken."
With a few simple sentences, Li Rui completed the task given to him by Du Minsheng. He was about to turn around to report when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Can Shi Chu eat spicy food?" Shi Peide's face immediately showed a bitter smile and said, "No, no. I can't eat spicy food." Li Rui said, "From your accent, you seem to be from Shannan. The south is sweet and the north is salty. I'll ask the canteen to prepare a northern flavor dish for you."
As the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Shi Peide usually had to eat delicacies or eat random meals. He was no longer particular about food as long as it wasn't spicy and could fill his stomach. But now that he saw that Li Rui, this secretary, could consider his boss's taste and his own, his heart was moved. He secretly praised Li Rui for being meticulous and capable. He nodded and said, "En, just one is enough. I don't eat much. It's rare for you to be so considerate. I'll have to trouble you. "
Li Rui said a few polite words to him and asked him to take a seat. He then went to report to Du Minsheng.
Du Minsheng nodded and said, "You can make the arrangements. See who is on duty in the First Secretary Department and ask him to go to the canteen." Li Rui asked, "Do you want to eat with them later?" Du Minsheng smiled and shook his head, "I want to but I need Secretary Huang to call me."
Li Rui quickly rushed to the First Secretary Department and saw that the people on duty today were Deputy Director Sun Dazhong and Staff Member Xu Jianqiang. He told Xu Jianqiang to quickly go to the canteen in the backyard. After that, he returned to the office and continued to chat with Shi Peide.
In Song Chaoyang's office, two of the highest ranking officials in the Provincial Party Committee were talking.
Huang Xinnian said, "Qingyang's environment is very complicated." Song Chaoyang knew what Huang Xinnian meant and quickly said, "Secretary, I was just about to go to the Provincial Party Committee to give you a review. I didn't expect …" Huang Xinnian waved his hand and said, "I don't want a review. I want to see the actual improvement of the environment." Song Chaoyang didn't say what he wanted. He wanted to give him a proper review, but he didn't expect that he didn't give him a chance at all. It was as if he was suddenly hit by a stick. Song Chaoyang's mind was immediately muddled. He couldn't think, so he couldn't say anything else. Huang Xinnian said, "In just half a year's time, there were two major scandals. Two department level leaders fell from grace. Qingyang is now famous throughout the country. Even the provincial government is basking in his glory." When Song Chaoyang heard these two sarcastic remarks, he was so ashamed that he could not say anything.
In fact, it was unfair for Huang Xinnian to push the two big cases to him as the new Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. After all, he had not taken office when Zhang Wenlin's case happened. However, as one of the main leaders of Qingyang City, he had to bear some responsibility for the scandal. Therefore, it was not wrong to push the previous cases to him.
