October Chapter 6.

…………………………………………………

Hou Weidong sat in the ward for a while, thinking about Zeng Zhaoqiang's affairs, and always felt uneasy. He took his cell phone and came outside the ward, found a quiet place, and called Du Bing.

"Du Bin, I am Hou Weidong, is it convenient for me to speak now?"

"I am alone in the office. What instructions do you have? Old leader?" Du Bing immediately added, "Old leader, congratulations in advance, so I'll follow you to Maoyun."

Hou Weidong smiled and said, "Follow the Organization Department, make progress every day. If you still work hard in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, you will be a member of the party sooner or later."

Although it was only half a step from the deputy mayor to the mayor, Hou Weidong still struggled to make this half a step. He transferred from the Shazhou Municipal Government to the Lingxi Provincial Government, and then to the Maoyun Municipal Government, and took a spiral circle to take the step.

As soon as the official position is at the level of a full-time department, the more complex the relationship is, the more fierce the competition is. Every step is extremely difficult. Du Bing works in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and sees many people who are struggling desperately for the half-step official position. He sincerely congratulates him on the phone.

Hou Weidong didn't talk much and asked bluntly: "Among the municipal leaders of Maoyun City, there is still a lack of an organization minister. Is anyone a choice?"

Du Bing replayed the recent view, hearing and understanding of the situation in his mind, and said: "Now the plan of the main department has come out, and the appointment plan of the deputy department has to wait until the next step. As for the Organization Minister of Maoyun Municipal Party Committee, there are some rumors, but there is no conclusion."

When he heard that the deputy department plan had not yet come out, Hou Weidong was relieved and said, "After the deputy department plan was released, please pay attention to the candidates of the Organization Department of the Maoyun Municipal Party Committee. Contact me in time."

Hou Weidong is about to take office in Maoyun, but his attention to the Organization Minister of Maoyun Municipal Party Committee still makes Du Bing feel strange and said, "I understand. If you have anything, I will report to the old leader in time."

Du Bing was able to go to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee because Hou Weidong passed the relationship of Deputy Minister Ding Yuan a few years ago. This arrangement was like the willows back then, which was of great help to Hou Weidong. The so-called "Growing melons and getting beans back" is the one who follows Hou Weidong. As long as he works hard and has no wrong intentions, he generally has a better way out. Yang Liu, Du Bing and others arranged it very well, which greatly encouraged Yan Chunping and other descendants.

When Hou Weidong was at the grassroots level, he was quite unfair when talking about the matter of getting the moon before getting close to the water. At this time, he became a leader and realized that it was normal for the leader to value the people around him.

Under the current system of employing people, if the leader is not kind to the people around him, this is distorting human nature. But on the other hand, for the vast number of grassroots cadres, this is another kind of unfairness.

After Hou Weidong finished the phone call, he returned to the ward to sit for a while, and chatted with his parents for a while. He received another call.

The person who called was Zhu Xiaoyong, son-in-law of the Provincial Party Secretary Meng Haofang, who is still the general manager of Hengqing Group. He called Hou Weidong and said, "Weidong. Where are you? Shuguang and Fang Hongxian are back. Please get together with your wife."

Hou Weidong and Zhu Xiaoyong had not met for a long time. When they heard Zhu Xiaoyong make an appointment, they said, "Okay, where are you gathering? I'll arrange it."

Zhu Xiaoyong said: "Forget it, let me arrange it. I am in a state-owned enterprise and I use money more freely than you. Hengqing Group has a sanitary center, which is well built. At the foot of Tieping Mountain, you can go with your wife."

After putting down the phone, Hou Weidong said to Xiaojia: "Fang Hongxian and Chen Shuguang returned to the west of Lingxi and invited us to the Hengqing Group Nursing Home at the foot of Tieping Mountain to get together." Before Xiaojia could speak, he complained: "It's really hard to relax when you are socializing all day long."

Liu Guangfen knew her son best. She held Xiao Jian's hand and said, "Miss, if no one looks for you all day long, you will be anxious. You two will go, leave Xiao Niu Niu here to accompany me, and I will tell Xiao Niu Niu Niu."

Xiaojia said, "Mom, Xiao Zi is very naughty. You can sit for a while. It will be annoying after a long time. It is very tiring to take care of her. It is better not to leave it in the hospital."

Liu Guangfen held Xiao Jian's hand and said, "I have taught in elementary school all my life, but I can't teach Xiao Jian. Besides, even if Xiao Jian makes trouble here, I am happy, so don't worry! This is an independent ward, it's okay."

After hearing Liu Guangfen say this, Xiaojia no longer argues. She bent down and told Xiaojian: "Son, you have to be more obedient. Listen to grandma's stories, don't make noises, don't make trouble. If you want to watch TV, you can watch it for a while."

Since Meng Haofang left Lingxi, Chen Shuguang was quickly transferred from the position of director of the Department of Transportation to the neighboring province as deputy governor. Hou Weidong was transferred to the provincial government as secretary-general soon, and Zhu Xiaoyong officially became the general manager of Hengqing Group. The three of them were all busy with their own affairs, and their contacts were not as frequent as before.

"Why would Zhu Xiaoyong suddenly ask us to go out and play together?" Hou Weidong was thinking about the problem while driving.

Xiaojia disagreed and said, "Chen Shuguang returned to the west of the Ling River and asked three friends and four friends to gather together. This is normal."

Hou Weidong shook his head and said, "Director-level cadres are adjusting during this period, and too many people and things are related to this adjustment. I don't think there is such a simple thing."

Xiaojia said: "Meng Ning likes to play cards, but he is picky about card friends. Fang Hongsheng and I are both rare card friends. Today, we went back to Lingxi and asked us to get together. It was normal."

Hou Weidong didn't say much and continued driving.

In the Lingxi officialdom today, people with status like Hou Weidong will encounter many dinner parties every day. However, there are never dinner parties for no reason. Every dinner party has some open or secret reasons. Hou Weidong is invited to dinner too many times, and he always guesses what the purpose of this dinner party is?

During this period, he was very sensitive to the adjustment of the city department leaders and could not help but associate the dinner with this matter. Hengqing Group is a state-owned enterprise under the Provincial Water Resources Department. As the head of the state-owned enterprise, Zhu Xiaoyong is also a cadre in the preparations. Hou Weidong had secretly linked Zhu Xiaoyong's dinner with him at this time, although there was no basis for this connection.

The car soon came to the sanatorium at the foot of Tieping Mountain under Hengqing Group. Hengqing Group mainly engaged in water conservancy projects. The reservoir at the foot of Tieping Mountain also belongs to the industry of Hengqing Group. In the past, there was a wasteland around the reservoir, but now Hengqing Group has also begun to enter real estate development, building some villas and sanatoriums next to the reservoir and opening a resort. Since then, the wasteland has turned into villas and the price has increased vigorously.

I parked the car and entered the reservoir under Hengqing Group.

The reservoir is rippling in the winter sun. The breeze blows, making people feel a little cool, but it is very cool. Standing on the lake, there is the towering Tieping Mountain Mountain, giving people a sense of paradise. Xiaojia held Hou Weidong's arm and said, "Zhu Xiaoyong can also choose places. This place is more beautiful than the previous Han Lake."

Xiaojia mentioned Hanhu casually, but Hou Weidong couldn't help but think of Li Jing. He was afraid that Xiaojia would do it intentionally. So he looked at Xiaojia from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that Xiaojia looked normal, he guessed that she was just talking casually.

The two were watching the scenery by the lake, and another car drove over, which was an Audi car from the neighboring province. Hou Weidong knew that Chen Shuguang had arrived, and greeted Xiaojia. It was indeed Chen Shuguang and Fang Hong Line. Chen Shuguang was a little fatter than when he was working in Lingxi Province. His face was full of redness and his spirit was flying. He stretched out his hand from afar and said, "Dear Secretary-General, I haven't seen you for a long time." Hou Weidong smiled and walked up the two steps. "Governor Chen, welcome to our Lingxi to inspect the work." The two joked. It was casual and relaxed.

Many years ago, Chen Shuguang was the secretary of the provincial party committee secretary Meng Haofang and the deputy director of the provincial party committee office. He was very famous in Lingxi Province. Hou Weidong met Chen Shuguang after Zhu Xiaoyong introduced him, otherwise he would not have had the opportunity to interact with Chen Shuguang at all. At the beginning, Chen Shuguang had an absolute advantage, and the relationship between the two was not equal at that time. At this time, Chen Shuguang was transferred to the neighboring province to be the deputy governor, while Hou Weidong was transferred to the Lingxi Provincial Government as the deputy secretary-general. The two had a distance and became more comfortable to meet each other.

After Fang Xunqian was transferred to the neighboring province, the two had not been together for a long time. When they met Xiaojia, they were very close and said, "Xiaojia, have you been transferred from Shazhou to Lingxi now?"

"I am now at Shazhou Construction Department."

"What position should I hold in the Construction Department?"

Xiaojia said modestly: "What position can you take? You are transferred to the level and are still at the deputy department level. You don't care about anything and are happy to be idle."

Fang Hongxian smiled and said, "It is something that ordinary people can do from the Shazhou Garden pipeline to the Provincial Construction Department, and it is definitely a look at Wei Dong's face."

"Wei Dong's face is not that great, it was Governor Zhou who greeted him."

"Governor Zhou greets you, after all, it depends on Wei Dong's face." Fang Hongxian said again, "Just be a deputy director-level, don't compete for too high official positions. We women just take care of our husbands and children at home, and we can become housewives. We still have to worry about social affairs."

At this time, two young men rushed over. One of the fat men was the office director of Hengqing Group. He ran in a hurry, with a little sweat on his forehead. He called out from a distance: "Governor Chen, Secretary General, Mr. Zhu is waiting for you in front." The fat men's director was Zhu Xiaoyong's direct subordinate, and both Hou Weidong and Chen Shuguang knew him. He was tall and fat, and he was already panting when he ran in front of him.

Chen Shuguang was quite arrogant. He looked at the fat director and nodded slightly. When Hou Weidong saw the fat director with a respectful look, he took the initiative to chat with him.

The group walked along the path full of green plants to the peninsula of the reservoir. There was a villa in the middle of the path, and there was a door in front of the villa. Zhu Xiaoyong and Meng Ning were waiting in front of the iron gate.

Zhu Xiaoyong and Zhu had no changes a few years ago, but they were a little bit whiter than when they were going to the construction site. They looked very gentle. He said, "Brother Chen and Wei Dong are distinguished guests. This is the first time you have arrived after my new home is repaired."

This villa is located in the peninsula in the center of the reservoir. The peninsula is like an apple with a handle. A narrow road leads to the peninsula, which is the handle of the apple. The main body of the apple is three to four thousand square meters and five to six acres of land.

After seeing this environment, Hou Weidong sighed and said: This is really a fairyland on earth."

Xiaojia also saw it and said to Meng Ning, "This is your new home. I heard that it was in the reservoir before, but I didn't expect it to be a place like Penglai fairyland."

Meng Ning proudly took the guests to visit the new community and said, "This place was originally a wasteland, and some fruit trees were planted. Xiaoyong looked at this water shore and wasted it was a pity. He wanted to develop this area. However, no other directors of the group were willing to invest here. We took the lead in buying this small peninsula and repairing this building. Many friends came here to see the results, and then bought land and built the building by the lake one after another. Xiaoyong used his own money to repair this villa, which brought huge benefits to the group."

Hou Weidong said intimately: "If Zhu Xiaoyong hadn't been the chairman, I'd probably not have bought this peninsula." Of course, he would not say it out loud, and followed Meng Ning to visit it, and soon immersed in the picturesque scenery.
