Although Chen Ping and the others have been to Beijing for the first time, under the guidance of the navigation, they soon came to the National Development and Reform Commission located on Yuetan South Street, Sanlihe.

As the most important department of the State Council, ordinary vehicles must undergo careful inspections when entering the Development and Reform Commission, inquire about the reasons for visiting, register at the door and verify the arrangements of visitors. Of course, since Chen Ping's car has Li Jupeng's special pass, some open procedures are omitted, and only the name and ID number of visitors are registered in the communication room.

After passing the inspection at the door, the driver Yu Dajiang parked his car in the parking lot of the National Development and Reform Commission. Then Chen Ping and his secretary Zhang Tao walked into the office building of the National Development and Reform Commission with information, while Yu Dajiang was waiting in the car.

Generally speaking, an investment project is the responsibility of the departments concerned with industrial economic planning and investment, but in fact, it is impossible to obtain a project without the support of a red relationship without the support of a red relationship.

The reason is very simple. In the officialdom, the key is to share equal interests. If you only go through a certain department and only give benefits to a certain part of the people, then others will be jealous. Once others are jealous, the consequences are likely to deliberately find fault in the project and find ways to get your own benefits.

For example, if Chen Ping simply found the Investment Department this time, even if the leaders of the Investment Department helped Chen Ping to win the project very well, during the approval process, the Policy Research Office, Economic Regulation Bureau and other departments would question the problems in the project, so that the project would not be implemented for a while. Only when Chen Ping made up for their benefits would they wave their hand generously.

It is precisely because of the way these bureaucrats do things well at once that Chen Ping simply did things well. The first thing Chen Ping came to was the General Office closest to the Decision-making Center of the Development and Reform Commission.

Zhang Tao knocked on the door of the secretariat, and someone in the office immediately asked: "Who are you? Is there anything wrong?"

At this time, Zhang Tao immediately introduced Chen Ping to the other party and said, "Hello Comrade, I am from Luzhuang City, Jiangnan Province. This is Chen Ping, the deputy mayor of our Luzhuang City. This time I have something to ask you Secretary-General Wei. This is a letter of introduction from our Luzhuang City Municipal Party Committee. I hope comrades can help convey it. Thank you comrades."

As Zhang Tao said that, he took out a letter of introduction that had been prepared long ago and handed it to the other party. The man took it and looked up at Zhang Tao and Chen Ping, then threw down a word, please wait, and turned around and walked into the office in the inner room.

Chen Ping knew that the office there was the office of the Deputy Secretary-General of the General Office of the Development and Reform Commission. The reason why Chen Ping looked for the Deputy Secretary-General was because the Secretary-General was already a deputy provincial official. He may not necessarily meet officials from a small county-level city, let alone make connections. In contrast, this deputy secretary-general who is only at the level of a department will be easier.

Sure enough, after a while, the man came out and said to Chen Ping: "Hello Mayor Chen, Secretary-General Wei invites you in."

"Okay, please trouble you."

Chen Ping said this, then walked into the office inside, and saw Secretary Wei sitting at his desk. Chen Ping took the initiative to say hello, "Hello Secretary Wei."

Secretary-General Wei nodded to Chen Ping, then gave Chen Ping a gesture to ask for a seat and said, "Mayor Chen, sit down and talk."

Chen Ping politely thanked Secretary Wei and sat in front of him. Secretary Wei first looked up and down at Chen Ping and praised: "Mayor Chen is so young, he is the mayor. He is really a hero! "

In response to this, Chen Ping said modestly: "Where is Secretary-General Wei over-reputation? I am just the deputy mayor. How can I compare to Secretary Wei in the National Development and Reform Commission and lead the economic development of the country."

"If you lead the economic development of the country, Mayor Chen, don't put a high hat on me. I am just a secretary-general responsible for reviewing policy documents." Secretary-General Wei said.

"I did not compliment Secretary Wei, you, all I said are facts!" Chen Ping said, "The National Development and Reform Commission is the core of formulating national economic policies. All documents of the National Development and Reform Commission are reviewed and sent out by the General Office. They are all checked and reviewed by Secretary Wei, you personally. Isn't that saying that Secretary Wei, you have led the economic development of the country?"

After a series of mutual courtesy, we got to the point. Secretary-General Wei picked up the letter of introduction brought by Chen Ping and said to Chen Ping: "I have read the letter of introduction from your municipal party committee. Are you planning to fight for the National Development and Reform Commission's heavy industry projects next month?"

Chen Ping nodded, and Secretary-General Wei asked again: "But what I am very curious is that even the State Council has only one intention for this project, and no specific policy documents have been released. How did you Luzhuang City know about it?"

Secretary-General Wei’s question may sound like a casual question, but in fact Chen Ping knew that he was definitely asking this on purpose.

As for the reason, of course, he would not think that Chen Ping would have the ability to steal some state secrets, but that he wanted to test Chen Ping through this question.

After understanding Secretary Wei's intentions, Chen Ping looked embarrassed and said, "Secretary Wei, you are so embarrassed for me. I am just doing things according to the instructions of my superiors. I am not a leader like Secretary Wei, but just an executor who does things according to the rules. How can I know too much about these specific things?"

Chen Ping's answer was very clever. He did not directly answer any questions from Secretary-General Wei, but he deliberately or unintentionally revealed an important information to the other party, that is, Chen Ping's activity was supported by his leader. So isn't the leader of a deputy mayor only a provincial official?

Having already reached the position of Secretary-General Wei, he knew very well that being an official would not have the luck to go. Anyone who could occupy a place in the province would be a second-generation power with a Beijing antenna stuck in his head.

So since Chen Ping was sent to Beijing by a provincial official, if that official really wanted to win this project to help him achieve his political achievements, he should have contacted the Development and Reform Commission or even a leader in the State Council. For this matter, his small deputy secretary-general may not have received any news.

Not only that, Secretary-General Wei must also treat Chen Ping well because of this. Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the project, some people will be irritated and pursue it. With his background, he can escape the disaster, but he will get into trouble.

So after Secretary Wei thought about it, he said to Chen Ping: "I understand this, Mayor Chen, you..."

Just as he was about to make a statement, the door of the office was knocked open again. The person who came in was the person who had just helped Chen Ping convey it. He said to Secretary-General Wei: "Secretary General Wei, Deputy Mayor Xu Yi from Linjiang City, Jiangnan Province, and Zhang Hui, Director of the Beijing Office of Jiangnan Province, are here."

Hearing this notice, Secretary-General Wei said oh, he subconsciously glanced at Chen Ping, and then said, "Please come in with Mayor Xu and Director Zhang."

The man said ok, and then left the office. Not long after, he led Xu Yi and Zhang Hui into the office. Seeing the two of them entering the office, Secretary-General Wei took the initiative to stand up and greet him: "Mayor Xu, Hello, Director Zhang!"

As the director of the Jiangnan Provincial Office in Beijing, Zhang Hui must often have to operate in various ministries and commissions. He generally knows key officials. So when he saw Secretary Wei, Zhang Hui also took the initiative to step forward and hold his hand and said, "Secretary Wei, don't be fine! I haven't seen you for so long, Secretary Wei's hair is black. He is getting younger and healthier. Today I'm going to disturb you again."

Secretary-General Wei pretended to be angry and said, "What is Director Zhang saying this? What is my relationship with Director Zhang? How can I say that he is here to disturb me? Director Zhang has something to say directly. I will definitely help Director Zhang within my ability."

"Since Secretary-General Wei said that, I would rather respect myself than obey my duty," said Zhang Hui. "That's right. Our Governor Zhang learned that the National Development and Reform Commission will have several important investment projects in the future. He believes that our Jiangnan Province, as the most economically active province in the country, should bear important responsibilities in this! That's why he gave me and Mayor Xu this important task, is to take down this project of the National Development and Reform Commission and let this project be developed best in our Jiangnan Province."

Zhang Hui has already said everything in detail. Secretary-General Wei should have no problem. However, Secretary-General Wei still pointed at Chen Ping beside him and asked Zhang Hui: "Director Zhang, this Mayor Chen is also here for the project of the Development and Reform Commission. Have you sent a lot of representatives this time?"

Facing Secretary-General Wei's questions, Zhang Hui turned his attention to Chen Ping on the side. Chen Ping also stood up at the right time to greet Xu Yi and Zhang Hui and said, "Hello, Mayor Xu, Director Zhang."

Zhang Hui was as surprised as if he had just seen Chen Ping, "Mayor Chen, you are here too? But why didn't I know that you also have the task of striving for projects?"

Zhang Hui's words made Chen Ping feel ridiculous. After all, this office is so big, and Zhang Hui is not blind. How could he not see a living person who is so big? Chen Ping understands even more that the reason why Zhang Hui said this was nothing more than to show Secretary-General Wei, which shows that Chen Ping is insignificant.

Sure enough, Zhang Hui then turned a stern face and then scolded: "Mayor Chen, your Luzhuang is just a county-level city. You should be waiting for the province to fight for projects and then allocate them to your county. How can you go directly to the Development and Reform Commission to ask for projects? This is too messy. In your eyes, is there any organizational order?"

"I think Director Zhang, you must have misunderstood something, actually..."

Chen Ping wanted to explain something, but Zhang Hui did not give Chen Ping a chance to explain, and directly said to Secretary-General Wei: "I'm sorry, Secretary-General Wei, this is a bad organization in our province. Some local government officials are too eager for quick success and instant benefits, which makes Secretary-General Wei and the comrades of the Development and Reform Commission laugh at the joke. I am really ashamed!"

Secretary-General Wei listened to Zhang Hui's words, he looked at Chen Ping first, then looked at Zhang Hui again, and finally said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. It's said that the agency is the most important thing. So which family does not have a difficult sutra in it?"

Secretary-General Wei's words immediately made Chen Ping feel an ominous feeling in his heart.
