Chapter 695 Major Events (Part 2)

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, yesterday, the Ministry of Culture's Spring Festival Gala sang Ji Haiyang's favorite song "Santa Luqiya". Xiaoqiao listened carefully and it was really good.

…………………………………………

This small-scale and high-standard meeting lasted for about two hours and achieved two results. First, the reform of state-owned enterprises in Shazhou continued to deepen, and the first batch of reorganized enterprises must be completed on time; second, in response to the special circumstances of the silk threading factory, the silk threading factory will be included in the first batch of reorganized enterprises; third, the joint venture between Lingxi Automobile Factory and Shazhou Agricultural Vehicle Factory.

The last two examples will be submitted to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.

At this meeting, Hou Weidong's suggestions were basically adopted. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a little pressure.

After dinner, Secretary Chu Xiuhong quietly told Hou Weidong: "Governor Zhou wants to find you tonight, so you can come to Lingxi's house."

Hou Weidong did not explain or ask, saying, "Thank you."

After the car passed the Shazhou toll station for about two minutes, I happened to see the night view of Shazhou. The brilliant lights were quickly thrown aside. The road was dark, and only the headlights burst out with a ray of light.

After entering the community, when Hou Weidong got off the bus, he looked up at Zhou Changquan's window, stood beside the bus and smoked a cigarette, and then went upstairs.

Dazhou opened the door for Hou Weidong. He pointed to the study room and said, "Waiting for you inside." He said, "Have you provoked him?" Hou Weidong deliberately acted freely and casually in front of Dazhou, saying, "It is a good thing to be criticized by the old man. If one day provokes the old man completely ignore you, it is a bad thing."

After entering the study, Zhou Changquan, wearing a thin sweater, was drinking tea. Hou Weidong changed into a smiling face and said, "Old leader, why did he put on a sweater?"

This year's autumn came early and was a little cold. Hou Weidong was young and angry, and only wore a thick cotton shirt.

Zhou Changquan's thin face was as deep as the night on both sides of the expressway, without a smile or anger. He pointed to the internal reference on the desk with the instructions of the provincial party secretary. He said: "Whose work is this?"

Although Hou Weidong had long been independent, Zhou Changquan still kept paying attention to him. Whenever a major event occurred, there were always media shouting for him. This has become the secret way for Zhou Changquan to observe Hou Weidong's behavior. Therefore, when he saw the inner reference, he understood that it was Hou Weidong's actions.

Hou Weidong said tactfully: "This article comes from Hengshan. He has researched state-owned enterprises and interviewed me." He admitted in disguise that it was related to this article. Before Zhou Changquan, he was willing to say something in his heart, especially Zhou Changquan asked him to come to Lingxi. It was obvious that he did not treat him as an outsider.

"Don't play diplomatic rhetoric in front of me, did he come on his own initiative or it was planned by you."

Hou Weidong looked angry when he saw Zhou Chang. He said, "I talked with Hengshan about the dilemma of the reform of state-owned enterprises in Shazhou."

Zhou Changquan's eyes were cold and said, "Do you think that everyone in the west of the Lingling is just a person who is awake? You are an official of the Shazhou Municipal Government, not an angry young man, and there are multiple channels for reporting the situation. It is the most undesirable way to spread the matter in Shazhou through internal references. If you are the secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor, and have this deputy position, what would you think?"

Hou Weidong then told the truth: "The silk threading factory is a constantly expanding abscess. If it is not solved in time, it will be a disaster. The Shazhou Agricultural Vehicle Factory can only take the joint venture road, which is a market decision."

Zhou Changquan interrupted his words, his voice becoming more and more rigorous, saying, "You must remember that you are the deputy mayor of Shazhou and a member of the leadership collective. Such a major decision can only be the voice of the collective, and you cannot be the hero."

"Your thoughts can only be personal thoughts, but you think the right way. A person's wise decisions are extremely dangerous. You still have personal heroism now, and personal heroism is particularly dangerous in high-level decision-making."

"Maybe, your point of view is correct in the reform of state-owned enterprises in Shazhou, but you have adopted a wrong route to realize your point of view."

…………

When Zhou Changquan said this, Hou Weidong said his heart completely, saying: "The situation in Shazhou is special. Zhu Minsheng holds heavy power but is afraid of making decisions. Huang Zidi is familiar with Shazhou but brings private goods. I have to do this method. When writing internal references in Hengshan, I also wrote suggestions to the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government in real name."

"You have a big conflict with Huang Ziti. How did he bring private goods with him? From an outsider's perspective, can you also be considered to bring private goods with him when you build an independent kingdom in the Southern New District?"

Hou Weidong wanted to take this opportunity to report the years of grievances to Zhou Changquan, saying: "Mayor Huang was the secretary-general when he was the secretary-general. I was the deputy director of the municipal party committee office. Our relationship was very good. The cracks were divided into four sections when I was in Chengjin and when I was repairing Shajin Road. Mayor Huang wanted Yi Zhongling to contract a section, but I refused. This was the first estrangement between Mayor Huang and Mayor Huang. The reason why I rejected Mayor Huang at that time was because I did not trust Yi Zhongling."

When Zhou Changquan was the secretary of the municipal party committee, he still had an impression of the arson and murder case in Yiyang Procuratorate. He thought to himself: "Why did Huang Zidi and Yi Zhongling get mixed up? He has greed, which is his fatal injury."

Before Huang Zidi was promoted, he knew that Huang Zidi liked to take advantage of him. At that time, he only thought that this was a petty family and not a fatal injury. After hesitating, he still recommended Huang Zidi as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee to be the director of Huang Zidi. It can be said that Zhou Changquan played a key role in Huang Zidi's position today.

At this time, facing the statement of another confidant subordinate, Zhou Changquan did not pretend to be noble and said: "It is not uncommon for the leader to say hello in real life. The situation here is complicated and cannot be generalized. However, saying hello is not a great bad thing. Do you think he has a private goods, so what more specific things do you have?"

Since it was the two of them talking in secret, he told the truth.

Hou Weidong thought about it carefully for a while and Huang Zidi had no obvious bad record except for his close relationship with Yi Zhongling and others. Although Yi Zhongling and Huang Er obtained a lot of land in Shazhou, this was also handled through formal procedures. Even if Huang Zidi greeted him, who could provide evidence? When it comes to handling the silk threading factory, it can only be said that Huang Zidi has different views from his own.

"In Shazhou, there are currently two people who have almost taken the best land, one is Yizhongling and the other is Huang Er, Huang Er, and Huang Zhiqiang. After I was appointed as the director of the Southern New District, I built the trading platform of the Southern New District in order to change this phenomenon. After this system was completed, I only supervised the implementation of the system and I don't care about the specific matters."

Hou Weidong added: "Adding attention to institutional construction, this is the idea I learned from you." He only knew that Mrs. Huang Ziti and her daughter went abroad. Regarding Huang Er's nationality issue, because he had been in Shazhou, he fell into a habitual thinking and did not consider it at all.

Zhou Changquan once served as a chief official and knew the tricks in the land. He thought for a while and said, "These are also phenomena. Please talk more about it."

After more than an hour in the study, Zhou Changquan said heartily: "Wei Dong. You have ideals and pursuits, which is very good, but the officialdom has its own rules and rules. This time you asked Hengshan to write internal references and violated the taboos of the officialdom. Not only did Huang Ziti have opinions on you. Zhu Minsheng will also strictly prevent you. After the spread is made, who is willing to talk to you, everyone is worried that you are putting your knife in the back."

"You are Zhu Minsheng's knife now, but he will only help you treat it as a knife. You are the youngest deputy mayor in Lingxi, with a bright political future, and you must be very cautious in speaking and doing things. Even if it is unreasonable, you must abide by the unspoken rules formed in decades or even hundreds of years. This is the way to be an official."

"Only by being able to dance while wearing shackles and handcuffs and doing practical things for the people, you are a real master. If you want to become a politician, there is still a long way to go."

Zhou Changquan said at the end: "Fortunately, only I know about this matter. After leaving this house, you must not admit it. There is also Hengshan, you can't use it anymore, so as not to cause yourself a huge trouble."

After leaving the Zhou family, Hou Weidong wiped the sweat from his head, got in the car, and didn't say anything.

Zhou Changquan's words were completely heartfelt, and were from his care for Hou Weidong. Otherwise, Hou Weidong would not have been asked to go to his home in the provincial capital to receive a lecture. Hou Weidong had a deep understanding of this. Therefore, when he went out, he bowed Zhou Changquan at thirty degrees, which was a ritual from the heart.

Yan Chunping did not expect that Hou Weidong would experience a storm in his mind. When Hou Weidong got on the car, he asked as usual: "Mayor Hou, are you going back to Shazhou?"

Hou Weidong suddenly missed the days when he drank big bowls of wine and ate meat in Qinglin Mountain. In Shazhou, his best friend was Zeng Xiangang from Qinglin. He said: "Don't go back to Shazhou for now, I want to drink with old friends."

One-eyed Zeng Xiangang was playing with his youngest son, and his cell phone rang. Song Zhicheng reminded: "The cell phone is ringing."

Zeng Xiangang said: "When I was playing with my son, I didn't answer the phone." He wore a short-sleeved shirt and his strong body did not turn into fat because of good days.

When the ringtone was about to end, Song Zhicheng picked up his cell phone, looked at the number, and said, "It's Hou Weidong's phone number."

When he heard that it was Hou Weidong's phone call, Zeng Xiangang quickly came over and said, "Crazy, why do you have time to call me today?"

The sound of "crazy" came, which made Hou Weidong feel extremely comfortable, and said, "Xiangang, I am in Lingxi, and I am looking for you to drink. Where is the restaurant or your home."

Zeng Xiangang said: "When he drinks with his leader, he goes to the restaurant, and when he drinks with his friends, he is at home. I have prepared good wine for you." Since Zeng Xiangang's ex-wife was killed, he has quit drinking, but he has prepared some good wine at home for a long time, including domestic Moutai and foreign wine. This is not what he drinks, but it is specially prepared for guests who come to his home to drink.

When she learned that Hou Weidong was coming, Song Zhicheng quickly went to check the refrigerator, picked up some fish and meat, and explained to the aunt in detail.

Hou Weidong went upstairs alone, and Yan Chunping and the driver went to Jinxing Hotel to open a room.

Since Zeng Xiangang still didn't drink alcohol, Song Zhicheng accompanied Hou Weidong to drink Maotai.

After drinking halfway, Song Zhicheng blushed and started talking too much, saying, "We Xiangang is going to become a member of the Provincial CPPCC this year. We used to be a member of the District CPPCC. In recent years, we have done some work. A leader promised him to join the Provincial CPPCC. My goal is to become a member of the CPPCC next."

Zeng Xiangang glared at her and said, "What's the point of joining the CPPCC? You woman, go aside."

Song Zhicheng's face was flushed and he was a little happy. He was not angry because Zeng Xiangang spoke. He said, "I have joined the Provincial CPPCC and have social status. I have been bullied and there are places to speak, and someone helps me."

Hou Weidong poured himself a glass of wine and said, "It is a good thing to be able to enter the Provincial CPPCC. When we opened a stone stadium in Qinglin, we didn't think of this day. It's just a pity that Qin Dajiang, the three of us had a drink."

The three of them were drinking, and Qin Gan and Zeng Xianyong also drove to Lingxi. They were working in Chengjin's phosphate mine and made money with great enthusiasm. When they met Hou Weidong, they did not listen to Song Zhicheng's obstruction and drove to the specialty store to buy the most expensive foreign wine.

That night, Qin Gan, Zeng Xianyong, and Song Zhicheng were all drunk. Hou Weidong was half drunk and talked to Zeng Xiangang until two o'clock in the morning. Then he went back to the Jinxing Hotel and slept until noon the next day. After getting up, he took another hot shower. When he came out of the bathroom, he became energetic again.

After getting on the highway, he said to himself: "Even if you are reckless this time, you have to grit your teeth and persevere."
