Chapter 299 People and Things (Part 2)

Lonely, like a little snake, is in Yang Senlin's heart. He has been in Yiyang from Shazhou for half a year. With a full of ambitions, he wants to do something real in Yiyang. However, a large county with nearly one million people is completely different from the department of the municipal party committee and government with only a few people. There is a huge gap between theory and practice. What is more important is that the inseparable personnel relationships form a huge and complex network, and he is just an insect that is trapped in it.

"Governing a big country is like a small cooking." Thinking of this famous saying of the sage, Yang Senlin cursed: "It's a lie. Whoever regards governing a country as a small cooking is either a genius or a madman."

He drove his car around Yiyang Street aimlessly, which was a habit he had developed for many years. Whenever he encountered a difficult problem, he was like a madman from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. He drove his car around and wandered around. When he was hungry, he found a small restaurant, cut some braised meat, cooked a tofu soup, and ate two bowls of rice. His mood improved as the food entered his stomach.

The car drove to Shawan, which was an important node on Shayi Road and the junction between Shazhou City and Yiyang County. After the expressway was opened to traffic, Shawan quickly declined, and no women or children sold snacks here. The cement was made into a small dam and grew a layer of black and green moss.

"There is no obstacle in the world that cannot be overcome. I must do something in Yi Yang, otherwise I will be looked down upon by Uncle Zhu."

In the sand bell, Yang Senlin sat quietly for more than an hour, then suddenly ignited the fire, stepped on the accelerator, got back on the road, drove along the road towards Shazhou, and arrived in Shazhou. It was already eleven o'clock. He casually found a small restaurant by the side of the city, ordered a few home-cooked dishes. He enjoyed it slowly, and thought about his thoughts carefully.

Yang Senlin had a light and ordinary lunch for more than an hour. He threw his phone in the car to avoid being harassed. After dinner, he sat back in the car. At 2:30, he called Meng Houshi, the secretary general of the municipal government, and called: "Uncle Meng. I am Forest. I have nothing to do, I want to talk to you."

Meng Houshi looked at the thick document pressing on the desk and said, "I have a few things to deal with. In this way, I will go to my house at three o'clock and have dinner at home in the evening." He called the house again: "Old woman, the forest is coming to eat at night, cook two carp, and get a bottle of Shaoxing rice wine."

Meng Houshi has a lover who is only in his fifties. Although she is called an old woman, she is actually a very quick middle-aged man. She said: "The child in Forest is very sharp. He is exactly the same as his father's personality. When he goes to the grassroots level, he may offend many people. You can also persuade him tonight."

When Yang Senlin arrived at Meng Houshi's house on time, Meng Houshi had already waited in the study room, and the air conditioner was set to twenty-six degrees. The room was cool. There was a Go picture on the coffee table, and the chessboard was made of camphor wood. It had wooden stripes and was very textured.

All the wrinkles on Meng Houshi's face were stretched out. The usually serious old man showed his kind side and said, "Forest, let's have a plate first and enjoy it."

Yang Senlin was not polite either. When Meng Houshi got his way, he grabbed the chess piece and fell down. The two had fought countless times, and their routines were already very familiar. In the middle, Yang Senlin accidentally became strangled and a big dragon was strangled.

Meng Houshi happily drank a sip of tea and said, "Forest, half a year after Yi Yang, the chess power has decreased." Yang Senlin smiled bitterly and said, "I was so busy that I was dizzy. Where can I have time to play chess?"

Meng Houshi was very clear about Yi Yang's situation and said: "You are the county party secretary. Compared with the administrative chief, you should be much more detached. As long as you manage the people well, you will be in control of everything."

This is also the purpose of Yang Senlin's trip. He couldn't help but complain: "I am just the deputy secretary of the county party committee, and Jae Yiyang can't count the words."

Meng Houshi smiled and said, "The adjustment cadres have been subject to resistance recently, right?"

Yang Senlin knew that Meng Houshi had always heard from him and said, "I can't transfer these key positions at all. The county party secretary cannot take charge of cadres, the new management committee director, the secretary of Chengguan Town, and the director of the land and real estate bureau. What's the point?"

Meng Houshi said: "Hastyness means not being able to achieve. You have never been alone in the local area before. This is an opportunity specially arranged by Uncle Zhu. If done well, it will become the foundation for career development. If done well, hey, I will be ready to work in the provincial capital."

Yang Senlin's face was very ugly and angry.

"This year, you don't have to achieve results, nor have your own ideas. If you keep the situation alive, the opportunity will come naturally." Meng Houshi shook his hand with glasses and explained: "Zhu Yan has a status in the city and is Zhou Changquan's beloved general. After graduating from the Party School, he wants to be a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Why do you have to be serious with him? It's not worth the loss."

When Yang Senlin heard that Zhu Yan was improving, his eyes lit up, "Zhu Yan really won't get back to Yang?"

"Hmph, the plan has not changed quickly in Shazhou. This matter was something Mayor Liu accidentally said, and you can just know it."

Meng Houshi explained again: "Don't ask Uncle Zhu about this. He is a principled person. He told me that if you really can't serve as the county party secretary, he will reconsider your whereabouts and maybe you will be transferred to a better-in-class unit in the provincial capital."

When Yang Senlin became the deputy secretary of the county party committee, Zhu Jianguo also said this solemnly. Yang Senlin was originally a proud and arrogant person. Even if Yi Yang suffered setbacks, he was unwilling to complain to Zhu Jianguo easily.

Zhu Jianguo, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, Meng Houshi, secretary-general of Shazhou Municipal Government, and Yang Senlin's father were both colleagues of Shazhou Machinery Factory. Back then, Zhu Jianguo was the secretary of the Youth League branch, and Meng Houshi and Yang Senlin were the technical backbone of the workshop. After the armed struggle began, the three young people participated in the Red Flag Rebels fighting team in the factory.

Yang Senlin's father was full of spirit and dared to fight and rush. When the martial arts battle was most intense, he once took a submachine gun and took the old nest with the royalists. He was a famous combat hero in the combat team. Heroes were often associated with tragedy. In a factional battle, Yang Senlin was hit by a large-caliber machine gun and broke into two pieces on the spot, leaving no last words behind.

This is the tragedy of the times, and the pain is deeply hidden in the hearts of Zhu Jianguo, Meng Houshi and others, and becomes an indelible memory.

Zhu Jianguo and Meng Houshi have special feelings for Yang Senlin and have always treated him as their nephew. Meng Houshi and Yang's father were the same master in the factory, and they were closer. Yang Senlin grew up under Meng Houshi's eyelids at a very young age. He was closer to Meng Houshi and spoke casually.

Yang Senlin is smart and has strong abilities, but like his father, he is impatient and eager to achieve success. This is a taboo in politics. Meng Houshi naturally sees this clearly and reminds him more than once that it is easy to change the country and his nature is difficult to change. After joining the work, Yang Senlin often clashed with his leaders for work. Although it was proven that his view was correct afterwards, he won the truth and lost his feelings.

Fortunately, Zhu Jianguo, Meng Houshi and others took care of Yang Senlin, so although he offended countless people, he was promoted step by step. This time, it was Zhu Jianguo's arrangement to make Yang Senlin the deputy secretary of Yiyang County Party Committee. If Yang Senlin grasped it well, he would most likely become the youngest county party secretary in Lingxi.

"Forest, you have too shallow foundation in Yi Yang, and you can't take too much steps. For a long time, you only stared at Ma Youcai and ignored Zhu Yan's existence. This was a big mistake. Fortunately, there was no major problem. After Yi Yang, hurry up and remedy it. Remember, communicate with Zhu Yan more often, and there will be no harm in any way."

Two months ago, Yang Senlin might not be able to accept Meng Houshi's opinion. Now he finally realized the complexity of the matter and said, "Tomorrow, I will visit Zhu Yan and strive to gain his support."

The next day, Hou Weidong was convening a cadre meeting of the new management committee. Since the merger of the new management committee and the development zone, more than ten second-level teams have been added. In order to integrate the first-level team, there are more meetings than before.

Hou Weidong was talking as he was spitting, and Xiao Liu from the office walked up with a phone book and said, "The notice issued by the county party committee office, please Director Hou arrive at Secretary Yang's office at 10 o'clock."

He hurried to Yang Senlin's office. Yang Senlin stood up politely and shook hands with Hou Weidong, which made Hou Weidong a little flattered.

"Director Hou, I have read the recent work report of the New Management Committee. Your work is very effective. The county party committee is very satisfied. After the payment of goods from the Development Bank is here, how can we use the money on the idea and how to fully utilize the leverage effect of the one billion payments? This is a big question. I am going to visit Secretary Zhu this afternoon to visit Secretary Zhu and ask Secretary Zhu for advice. At the same time, I also want to meet with experts from the Development Bank to solicit their opinions."

Hou Weidong subconsciously thought: "What is Yang Senlin doing this for?"

Yang Senlin continued: "This is a small-scale visit. I will take you and Dajin to go there. You must prepare the relevant materials fully and leave a good impression when you meet with the Development Bank."

After accepting this strange task, Hou Weidong thought about it all the way back to the office and hurriedly called Li Jing.

"Today I will follow Secretary Yang Senlin of the County Party Committee to Lingxi. In the afternoon, I will meet Secretary Zhu first and have dinner with experts from the Development Bank in the evening."

Li Jing smiled particularly brightly and said, "You are not conscience either. I haven't called me for so long. This is not counting. It's my own initiative. The Southeast Asian financial crisis has also had an impact on Seiko Group. For such a big thing, you can just let me bear the delicate shoulders of a weak woman."

"In this way, I will still come to Yi Yang tomorrow. What's the matter? First, collect the accounts, and the money from the Transportation Bureau has not yet been transferred to the Seiko Group's account. Second, I inspected the stone yard in Shangqinglin. It's not that I can't trust you, but this is my right. Third, I heard from Chairman Mushan that the new management committee is booming, and Seiko Group also wants to come and see it. I am an investor. As the director of the new management committee, you must receive it yourself."

After making a few jokes, Li Jing said softly: "Come to me tonight?"

This sentence almost made Hou Weidong angry.
