Chapter 257: Trouble the Central

After Chen Ping, the National Development and Reform Commission successively announced the authorization situation of other projects. The situation of these projects was normal, and they were basically allocated according to the family background of each official and the resources mobilized. But thinking about it, in the officialdom, relations are still the first priority. If all projects are like Chen Ping, those powerful people will be useless.

In fact, this is true. There are no dark horses in the officialdom, including Chen Ping. Just imagine that if Chen Ping didn't know Li Jupeng and Ye Lingzhi's help, even if he knew everything about this project in advance, he would be powerless.

It is precisely because of this that the subsequent projects were announced very dull and without any turmoil.

After all the project authorization situation was announced, everyone stood up and prepared to leave the venue. At this time, due to Chen Ping's previous dazzling performance, everyone almost subconsciously wanted to find Chen Ping's position, but at this time, Chen Ping was no longer in the venue. At this time, everyone realized that Chen Ping was the deputy mayor of Luzhuang. Due to his low level and identity, he almost sat in the last row and was next to the door, so of course he left the fastest.

In fact, this is true. After Director Liu, who presided over the ceremony, announced the last project, Chen Ping asked his secretary Zhang Tao to meet Yu Dajiang first, and he followed Ye Lingzhi to meet the big man who was designated to meet him.

Chen Ping followed Ye Lingzhi to a room on the fifth floor of the guesthouse. There were two guards in plain clothes at the door. Ye Lingzhi stepped forward to explain the situation, and then was allowed to enter after inspection.

When he walked into the room, he saw an old man with a long hair and a young face sitting in the living room. He was sitting on the sofa watching TV. When he saw Chen Ping and Ye Lingzhi walking in, he raised his head and looked at Chen Ping and Ye Lingzhi. When he saw this person, Chen Ping suddenly felt a shock in his heart. The reason was that he was so familiar with this person. In the daily news broadcast, except for those leaders, he was the one with the highest appearance. He was State Councilor Sun Chengjun.

Some people may not understand the position of State Councilor. The birth of the State Council was because the number of deputy prime ministers could not be too large. However, at the same time, the State Council needed democratic discussions on many major national events, so the central government later decided to add the position of State Councilor in order to allow some party members and cadres who are slightly older, have rich practical work experience and strong work ability to participate in the state discussions of the State Council.

It is precisely because of this that those who can serve as State Councilors have already entered the leadership core of the State Council, and their administrative level is equivalent to those of the Vice Premier.

It is incredible that a vice premier of the State Council calls for a name to meet a county-level official. Although Ye Lingzhi had told Chen Ping who was the one who named him, now when Chen Ping really saw Sun Chengjun with his own eyes, he still feels very unreal. This is no wonder, after all, the gap between them was too far away.

After entering the room, Ye Lingzhi took the initiative to come forward and said, "Hello Grandpa Sun."

Sun Chengjun nodded, then looked at Chen Ping and said, "Have you got the project you want?"

Hearing Sun Chengjun's question, Chen Ping suddenly reacted and nodded, "Yes, thank you Committee Member Sun, and thank you for your support to me."

Sun Chengjun gave a thumbs up about Chen Ping's performance. He knew very well that the hierarchy in the officialdom was very strict. Suddenly, a leader of his level suddenly spoke to him, it was already amazing that he could express it so clearly. If it were other officials, he would be so excited that he would not even say anything.

After Sun Chengjun had a good first impression of Chen Ping, he waved his hand meaninglessly: "You don't need to thank me. What you should thank the most is yourself. If you didn't dare to come to Beijing as a county-level mayor and then go to the Development and Reform Commission to ask for projects as a county-level city, I'm afraid even I can't help it."

"Yes, what you said is very true, but if I had no help from you, I would be confused no matter how hard I tried," said Chen Ping.

"Although I appreciate your spirit and spirit very much, I don't agree with what you said just now," said Sun Chengjun. "Work will never be in vain. I think as long as I work hard, there will definitely be a chance of success, and it will not be lost."

After saying that, Sun Chengjun pointed to the TV in front of him and continued: "Borrowing your speech just now, this is a kind of Luzhuang spirit. Just imagine, if the people of Luzhuang did not work hard at the time, Luzhuang would not be a poor agricultural county today, so how could there be a small Shanghai and an economic county ranked first in the country?"

After Sun Chengjun pointed his hand, Chen Ping suddenly realized that the TV in front of the State Councilor was the speech he had just given at the ceremony.

So Chen Ping hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Member Sun. I'm just a little bit uninformed. I can't say it well to make you laugh at me."

"How can you laugh at me? I think Chen Ping, you said it very well!" Sun Chengjun said, "I know Chen Ping, you are modest. It is right to have such a moral character, but don't be too modest. After all, there is an old saying in China that excessive modesty is pride! Many comrades are ruined by these two words. I don't want you to repeat their mistakes!"

"Thank you to Member Sun for your teachings, I will always remember them and urge myself to do it!" Chen Ping said.

Listening to Sun Chengjun's lessons, Ye Lingzhi was unhappy, so she said to Sun Chengjun: "Grandpa Sun, didn't you say you had something to ask Chen Ping? Was it just commenting on his speech just now?"

Facing Ye Lingzhi, Sun Chengjun smiled helplessly. He reached out and pointed Ye Lingzhi, and then said, "You girl! You are just impatient. Well, since you said that, I'll get to the point."

After saying that, Sun Chengjun turned to Chen Ping and said to him: "Chen Ping, do you know how much trouble you have caused to the central government?"

When Chen Ping heard Sun Chengjun's question, he was stunned. He never expected that a dignified State Councilor came to find him specifically to ask such a question.

However, it is reasonable for Chen Ping to think about it carefully that he would ask such a question. After all, the National Development and Reform Commission project this time is too big. A project such a large one involves more aspects. First of all, the struggle between the provincial party secretary Lin Zhengyue and the governor Zhang Jinchi who are about to retire is involved.

Although Chen Ping's visit to Beijing to participate in the competition for the NDRC project seems to be Chen Ping's own idea, in fact, in the officialdom, no big move can exist alone without factional struggles. Just imagine that without the province's default, even if Chen Ping is independent, he will not be qualified to fight for the project.

Such a battle between two big men cannot be without the shadow of the central government, so Chen Ping understands that his visit to Beijing is actually causing trouble to the central government.

Later, due to the interference of Xu Yi and Zhang Hui, Chen Ping encountered trouble with the National Development and Reform Commission, so he found Jiang Yanfeng, chief engineer of the Heavy Industry Construction Planning Company, and successfully persuaded him to help.

Chen Ping was undoubtedly able to convince Jiang Yanfeng because he felt the future and knew Jiang Yanfeng’s current situation. He used the complex relationships in the officialdom to analyze them and finally convinced him. Otherwise, why would Jiang Yanfeng help him? Although Jiang Yanfeng was in a state-owned enterprise, he was in a state-owned enterprise, so Jiang Yanfeng’s affairs undoubtedly alarmed the central government.

As for the end, Ye Lingzhi played the card of her family, completely disturbing the water in the battle between various red families, making it a little difficult for everyone in the game to see the situation clearly, which gave Chen Ping the opportunity to get this heavy industry project.

These things may sound simple, but in fact, Chen Ping knew that if he was careless, he would lead to direct collisions between the families, or even more serious. He might also take the opportunity to retaliate and bring some families to abort, which would cause a series of reactions and cause the central government to turmoil. This is a situation that no national leader who strives to maintain stability will want to see.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping lowered his head and said to Sun Chengjun: "Committee Sun, I know that during my time in Beijing, I have caused a lot of trouble to the Party Central Committee because of my youthful ignorance and impulse. For this reason, I am sorry to Committee Member Sun. Although I know that a sorry cannot make up for my mistake, I still have to say sorry."

When Chen Ping spoke, Sun Chengjun kept staring at Chen Ping. He said with satisfaction only after Chen Ping finished speaking: "Your attitude is very good, I am very satisfied with this, but Chen Ping, you seem to have forgotten something. The trouble you have given to the central government is more than this."
