"Old classmate, what's going on? Why did the central government suddenly send such a research team to our Jiangnan Province?" Zhang Jinchi called his old classmate in Beijing and asked.

There was silence in the face of Zhang Jinchi's problem. Zhang Jinchi knew that there should be no idea how to speak with him, so he said again: "Old classmate, we have been in love for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am? Just tell the truth, I can bear it."

After hearing Zhang Jinchi's words, the other side sighed and said, "Old classmate, there is really no special reason. I wonder if you still remember what I called you last time?"

"Did you say it was because of the old cadres' petitions?" Zhang Jinchi asked, "But are you trying to find out what you do to help me find out about this matter? Could it be that you can't communicate such a small matter based on your current status and status in the central government?"

"Old classmate, don't say these words in front of me anymore. You don't know the affairs of the central government. How many red families and national veterans are still alive, what status can I have here?"

Then he said so self-deprecatingly, and then continued: "Old classmate, I'm not hiding it. The last time I talked about this with you, I felt something was wrong. After all, if it was really just a small old cadre petition, the central leadership would not have had such a reaction."

After saying that, he thought about it and added: "I know that you, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Lin Zhengyue and Deputy Secretary, Xiao Hongkun, are interfering with it, but even so, the central government should not be so pirated against an old cadre's petition. After all, you are also a cadre who is about to be promoted to the provincial party secretary, which is so strange."

"You guessed it last time?" Zhang Jinchi said in surprise, and admitted it there, and then Zhang Jinchi said angrily, "Then why didn't you tell me at that time?"

"Because we have known each other for so long, I know you, you have a strong self-esteem. I think you can see such an obvious problem, so..."

Although only half of the words there were said, Zhang Jinchi knew what he meant. In fact, what the other party said was still very obscure. If it was a little bit blunt, it means that he was a person who wanted to save face. If he could explain it clearly, he might not listen.

Zhang Jinchi opened his mouth to say something, but at the end he couldn't say a word. After a while, he said dejectedly: "Okay, old classmate, since we have been in love for so many years, I don't mean to blame you. In fact, sometimes I'm not that smart. Old classmate, just tell me what's going on."

Zhang Jinchi's words made the other side stunned for a while, and seemed a little unbelievable that he could say such words, but then he thought that things had developed to this point, so it would not be surprising that Zhang Jinchi would do this.

So after thinking about it, he said: "Old classmate, in fact, the leaders of the State Council and the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee had already complained about some of your actions before the petition of the veteran cadres."

This made Zhang Jinchi frown slightly. It is normal for the leaders of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee to have opinions about him, because he knew that Xiao Hongkun’s main relationship in Beijing was in the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, but what happened to the State Council? You must know that his old classmates are about the same level as his own. There are only a handful of people in the State Council who can call him a leader. Could it be that Xiao Hongkun really understands the relationship between those state-level cadres?

Of course, Zhang Jinchi’s thoughts at this time could be guessed, so he said: “Old classmate, it’s right to say that Xiao Hongkun has connected with the State Council leaders. I know that Xiao Hongkun has indeed contacted the State Council, but what really influenced the leaders’ ideas is still your own behavior in the old classmate.”

"My behavior?" Zhang Jinchi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Old classmate, don't keep it in hiding it anymore, tell me happily."

"Okay old classmate, if you want to talk about this, you have to start with the time when you targeted Luzhuang City before."

As the other person said this, he then described the whole story to Zhang Jinchi bit by bit.

In fact, this matter is a very long story, but the general content is very simple. It is that the heavy industry project obtained by Luzhuang City from the Development and Reform Commission is a project approved by the leaders of the State Council and a project that is truly valued. However, Zhang Jinchi is so desperate that he always makes a fuss about this project.

At the beginning, the leaders of the State Council did not care. After all, Zhang Jinchi was only targeting a small county-level city, and Zhang Jinchi himself was also the successor of the provincial party secretary. Even if Luzhuang robbed the project, he was stingy and wanted to vent his anger from Luzhuang cadres, and it would not matter if he had a little rectification. But how could he have thought that Zhang Jinchi was actually making a fuss about heavy industry projects again and again, and he also wanted to point the finger at Provincial Party Secretary Lin Zhengyue and Deputy Secretary Xiao Hongkun, which made the leaders of the State Council a little dissatisfied.

After all, stability is always the first element in the officialdom. No leader would want his own hands to target others everywhere all day long, especially the higher the level of officials, the more this is the idea.

Not to mention that Zhang Jinchi is not targeting others, Lin Zhengyue and Xiao Hongkun, who are about to abdicate, you should know that every official has a time to abdicate, so in the officialdom, unless the officials who are about to abdicate make mistakes in the route, they should be at the peak of their power. The officials who are about to take over should be the time when they are the most low-key and tolerant before he takes over.

So, Zhang Jinchi was targeting them at this time. Doesn’t this mean he is too anxious to take over?

How can a person who doesn’t take the provincial party secretary seriously now, who has no patience or political awareness, be suitable for sitting in an important position at the provincial level?

However, Zhang Jinchi was already the governor after all. Even if he was a little anxious, it was understandable. But just when the leaders of the State Council were hesitating, the old cadres petitioned in Jiangnan Province. Doesn’t this mean that Zhang Jinchi’s actions were also opposed by cadres in Jiangnan Province? What’s more serious is that Zhang Jinchi turned a deaf ear to the questions raised by the old cadres and continued to target Luzhuang City on his own. This made the leaders of the State Council no longer hesitated and made up their minds.

During the change of leadership, everyone hopes to be able to live a stable life, and they also hope that the successor can be more stable.

As a leader, we must first convince the public, rather than use dirty oppressive means to exclude people one by one. If a leader does not receive the sincere support of the officials below, some policies cannot be implemented, and the leader must be replaced. If he really waits until Zhang Jinchi ascends the throne and wants to deal with it, it will be difficult. It is always troublesome to deal with a deputy state-level cadre like Binhai. He has to weigh the pros and cons and coordinate various relationships.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jinchi couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that Jiang is still so hot! Xiao Hongkun, the old fox, is really a good method! I always thought I was forcing him step by step, but I didn't expect that I was digging a pit for myself step by step, and finally I took the initiative to jump in."

After all, Zhang Jinchi is his old classmate, so when he heard Zhang Jinchi say this, he hurriedly enlightened him: "Old classmate, don't say that. The two old foxes, Lin Zhengyue and Xiao Hongkun, have been running to Beijing a lot during this period."

After saying this, he paused, and then continued: "By the way, there is another thing you may not know. This is what I only know. Xiao Hongkun also has a friend in the Heavy Industry Group, Jiang Yanfeng, the chief engineer of the Heavy Industry Construction Planning Company. If he hadn't spoken in the Heavy Industry Group, the State Council would not have taken such action."

This news surprised Zhang Jinchi, but it was just a little surprised. Then he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Old classmate, you don't have to enlighten me anymore. I know that this is my own fault. You think if I was not so radical, or if I could think more about it before doing these things, and think more about what negative impact I would have on myself, and what will the leaders of the State Council think of me, then wouldn't I be as good as I am now?"

"The old classmate can't say that, after all, the other party in this bureau is too deep. If..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jinchi interrupted: "Old classmate, this is because I am not careful enough. And since things have developed to this point, it will be useless for you to enlighten me. I don't want to bother with the past anymore. Old classmate, I just want to know what the leaders of the State Council plan to deal with me."

"Okay," said the other side, "I don't know what the leader has arranged for you, but judging from the State Council's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, it should not be released yet. Perhaps it will take until the research team comes down before the final decision can be made."

Zhang Jinchi keenly noticed that when the other party was talking, he used arrangement rather than handling, so he seemed to have caught a glimmer of hope. He asked anxiously: "Old classmate, do you mean I have a chance?"

"Old classmate, I'll tell you a brief explanation. I really can't answer you this question. After all, you know the party's confidentiality system. I have a relationship with you. There are some things I can't find out about." said the other side.

After getting this answer, Zhang Jinchi was silent for a while, and then he said with some energy: "Old classmate, no matter what, thank you for your care."

"We are all old classmates. You're too flirting with it." As he said that, he suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly continued, "By the way, old classmates, the research team jointly formed by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the State Council and relevant departments of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee should go to Jiangnan Province today or tomorrow. At that time, they will go directly to the provincial party committee, and the provincial party committee will arrange reception and accommodation. As for the itinerary and work arrangements, they will still follow the process scheduled by the General Office of the State Council."

Zhang Jinchi certainly understood the meaning of such an arrangement, after all, he had not arranged such a thing.

The research team did not go directly to the provincial party committee because they did not go to the government and went directly to the provincial party committee. It was simply because they had to deal with themselves and tried their best to avoid contact with them too early, causing unnecessary trouble. As for work and tasks, it would be fine with the cooperation of the provincial party committee.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jinchi said: "Thank you for the reminder of the old classmate. I have written it down and I will prepare here."

The other side also said: "Old classmate, don't worry, I will try my best to help you when I am in Beijing, but in Jiangnan Province, you can only find a way to deal with the research team."

"I understand my old classmate. I'll ask you everything in Beijing, and I'll ask you all for my future. If I can help me win a turning point, I will definitely thank you very much." Zhang Jinchi said.

The other party was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhang Jinchi's sincere tone. He could believe that what Zhang Jinchi said at this time was definitely from the bottom of his heart. If he could really find a solution, he would definitely agree no matter what he wanted to thank Zhang Jinchi. But things have reached this point, can there be a turning point?

The other person thought so in his heart, but he said, "The old classmate said this and said nothing, and I will find a way for you."

Then Zhang Jinchi thanked him again before hanging up the phone. After he hung up the phone, he stared at the phone blankly for a while before saying with a wry smile: "Although we are old classmates, can you really help me in this matter? Do you really treat me as a three-year-old child? After all, I am the person the leader of the State Council wants to deal with. If you are involved, aren't you afraid of being implicated? If you really help me, you can at least tell me this news before the Central Committee dispatches a research team, right?"

After saying that, Zhang Jinchi grabbed the phone and called Zhang Hui, deputy secretary-general of the Provincial Government Office, told him the news from the research team, and explained what he should do.

First, he asked Zhang Hui to contact all the officials who were promoted by him and shared honor and disgrace with him, and told them from today that they must follow Governor Zhang's steps, obey Governor Zhang's orders, and support Governor Zhang's work.

Secondly, we need to understand the trends of the research team. We need to pay attention to the hotels under the name of the provincial party committee in Linjiang City, especially the quiet villa hotels next to Zijin Mountain and Xuanwu Lake. Because the research team's office and accommodation are basically in the same place, as long as we can figure out where the research team lives, it will definitely be helpful for our next arrangements.

Finally, we must arrange some activities in Linjiang City that can increase your exposure and give you political points, such as riding a bicycle to work or visiting migrant workers in need, so that the media must make their strengths public.

There is no doubt that Zhang Jinchi's arrangements are very targeted, and they all hope to give the sudden visiting research team a good impression. It has to be said that it is not luck or accidental that he can take the position of governor.

But Zhang Jinchi, who racked his brains, forgot that he was just a temporary cram, and he was also a false drama written, directed and acted by himself. How could he deceive the research team that came from the central government? Not to mention that Chen Ping has been waiting for the arrival of the central government for a long time. How could Zhang Jinchi be so easy to resolve it?

At this time, Zhang Jinchi probably never thought that when the central research team arrived in Linjiang City, the provincial capital, Chen Ping's small arrangement disrupted all his steps.
