Chapter 559: Du Xiaolian's Shot (Part 2)

Another morning, when Chen Ping was handling official duties in his office as usual, his phone suddenly rang, it was Xiao Shufei's number. Chen Ping answered the phone, and Xiao Shufei's anxious voice quickly came out: "Chen Ping is amazing, you can watch the morning news from the provincial station this morning!"

Chen Ping frowned. He knew his sister Shufei very well. After all, she would become a strong woman who would become a member of the provincial standing committee in the future. It was difficult for her to be so anxious. And now she is like this, it proves that something big must have happened in the province.

Chen Ping thought so and turned on the computer, and soon found today's morning news on the provincial station's homepage.

The whole morning news was one hour, but Chen Ping didn't need to finish it. Judging from the introduction, what Concubine Xiao wanted Chen Ping to read was obviously the second news about the important speech of Executive Vice Governor Du Xiaolian in the province's economic reform work.

Chen Ping dragged the progress bar to the time point of this news. In the video, Du Xiaolian emphasized with righteousness that the focus of work in the province is unwavering, and that we must unify our thoughts and understanding, and respect the leadership of the higher-level party committee organization, and establish an efficient and responsible government to the people. Simplifying administration and delegating power is to serve the people better, not to evade responsibility.

At the end of Du Xiaolian's speech, he also mentioned that some comrades in the local area were eager to achieve success and change, not only did they not listen to the persuasion of comrades, but they even ignored the overall economic situation in the province. They worked alone and recklessly in the local area, and always thought they were right. The harm of such a rough working method was quite great.

"Have you finished reading?" Concubine Xiao whispered from the other end of the phone.

Chen Ping then remembered that he had not hung up the phone. Chen Ping said, "After reading it, our Governor Du's speech was just for our Luzhuang. I didn't expect that a mere nursing home would actually be able to attract such high attention from the executive vice mayor of our Luzhuang to the mayor of Soochow. I am a little flattered! It seems that Premier Sun's approach to choosing a pilot city is correct. If he rashly implements purchasing social services across the country, he doesn't know what to do. Over the years, too many interest groups have been formed in these fields!"

"You guys! Everyone else has come to the door, you are still so heartless." Concubine Xiao Shu said angrily there.

"Isn't it just a typical case of being caught by superiors? I have been experiencing this kind of thing since I entered the officialdom. Now it cannot be said to be a habit, but it is already numb." Chen Ping said, "And I have analyzed it with Sister Shufei long ago. Our Governor Du must have come for me alone."

"I am worried that I am here alone, Chen Ping!" said Concubine Xiao Shu.

Concubine Xiao’s meaning is very clear. If Du Xiaolian was targeting the reform of the nursing home and the collective decision made by the Luzhuang Municipal Party Committee, even if it was only targeting the municipal party committee secretary Xiao Shufei, Xiao Hongkun could make moves with confidence in the province.

After all, my daughter made a local reform attempt, which did not affect the general direction of the entire province's economic system nor violated the central government's policies. If you target her like this, you are targeting me, Xiao Hongkun.

But now Du Xiaolian is just targeting Chen Ping. Although he will inevitably lead to the reform of nursing homes, it is also the unremitting act of some comrades, and has nothing to do with the Luzhuang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Xiao Shufei. In this case, it is difficult to say that Xiao Hongkun wants to help an outsider who is not a relative or a good person.

It’s not that Xiao Hongkun didn’t know the importance of Chen Ping to Concubine Xiao, but to put it bluntly, he was just a deputy mayor at the department level. In the eyes of a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee who enjoyed the treatment of a ministerial level, it was really not a big deal.

Of course, it would be a different matter if you want to say that Chen Ping is Xiao Hongkun's son-in-law, but now the relationship between Secretary Xiao and Mayor Chen is still highly confidential, right?

"Okay, my sister Shufei, don't worry. Haven't we been waiting for Governor Du to take action? It doesn't matter. Even if he is the executive vice governor, I am just a deputy mayor who has not even entered the Standing Committee, but he still has no way to deal with me. Don't worry." Chen Ping said.

Concubine Xiao also understood that since this matter began, she had to continue, so she nodded and said to Chen Ping: "Okay, I will continue to ask my dad to help me pay attention to the trends in the province."

"Okay, but my sister Shufei, you have to believe that I am invincible in the world!"

Chen Ping smiled and joked with Concubine Xiao Shuping, and then hanged up the phone after making a few more jokes. After hanging up Concubine Xiao Shuping, Chen Ping thought for a moment, then sighed, picked up the phone on the desk and dialed it to the Civil Affairs Director Huang Shuping. Huang Shuping quickly answered the phone and said, "Hello Mayor Chen, mayor Chen, do you have any instructions?"

Chen Ping didn't talk much nonsense with Huang Shuping, and asked him directly: "Have you read the morning news from the provincial station this morning?"

If it were other leaders, Huang Shuping, would have to pretend to be stupid, but when facing Chen Ping, Huang Shuping really didn't dare to tell any lies. He honestly replied to Chen Ping and said, "I've seen it."

"What do you think about Governor Du's speech?" Chen Ping asked again.

Huang Shuping never expected that Chen Ping's question was so direct, which made Huang Shuping very prepared at all. But at the same time, since it was a question asked by the leader, he had to answer it. He had to think about it quickly and then said: "Mayor Chen, I think Governor Du's speech may not necessarily be directed at our Luzhuang."

Chen Pingen asked, "Really?"

Although Chen Ping's tone was very plain and his problems were not tricky, Huang Shuping still felt as if he was facing a great enemy and sweated like rain.

This is also the reaction that Huang Shuping would always face Chen Ping. Logically speaking, as the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he met many leaders of Luzhuang and even superior Dongwu City. He should be able to face the leader calmly. But when facing Chen Ping, he would always be unconsciously suppressed by Chen Ping's momentum and be worried about what aspects he did not do well.

"Chen...Mayor Chen, I think Governor Du must have his considerations when he said this. It is not necessarily a criticism of our poor work. Maybe it was because I was incorrect when I was executing Mayor Chen's order."

Huang Shuping answered Chen Ping's question very carefully. His answer was quite sophisticated. After Chen Ping asked questions repeatedly, he certainly did not dare to deny it, but he could not say that Du Xiaolian was really targeting Chen Ping or the task arranged by Chen Ping, so in the end he could only take all the responsibility on himself.

Of course, Chen Ping could see Huang Shuping's little care at a glance, but he would not say much about it. After all, it is normal for a science and technology bureau cadre like him to have various concerns.

"Actually, Director Huang, don't worry too much. Just as you said, Governor Du's speech does not necessarily criticize our poor work. Perhaps it is because of other reasons that lead to his speech in this regard," Chen Ping continued, "The reason why I call you now is to reassure you and continue to do a good job in restructuring the nursing home. Don't have any concerns. Do you understand?"
