Chapter 660: People are more popular than dead people

Originally, according to the nature of the two playboys, Li Jupeng and Jia Yinfeng, we should have a good celebration when we learned that Chen Ping and Ye Lingzhi were successful. However, by chance, Zhao Zhenchuan called Chen Ping at this time, so Chen Ping had to go back to Jiangnan Building first. After all, the matter here is the top priority now.

Back at Jiangnan Building, Chen Ping came directly to Zhao Zhenchuan's room. When he saw Zhao Zhenchuan's face full of joy, Chen Ping said: "Look at your face full of joy, Secretary, I guess you have brought good news from the Central Committee?"

"Chen Ping, you are really a prophet in the officialdom! Sometimes I really want to knock on your head to see what is inside, how can you predict everything in the future?" Zhao Zhenchuan teased this and then continued, "This time it is indeed good news. The Central Committee has decided that after the end of this Party Congress, Secretary Lin will continue to serve as the provincial party secretary for a period of time. I will serve as the governor first for the transition, and wait for half a year before taking over Secretary Lin's work."

"If you want to transition from the governor to the provincial party secretary first, what about Governor Song?" Chen Ping asked.

"Governor Song was transferred to a central position to serve as minister, but the specific position has not been determined yet." Zhao Zhenchuan replied.

Chen Ping thought it was true. Although Chen Ping had expected such a result since the new central leadership team was elected, when the result was truly confirmed by the central government, Chen Ping still breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Finally, there was no need to worry about any change in Song Chaozhong.

"Then congratulations to Secretary, you will be able to officially become the supreme leader of our Jiangnan soon," said Chen Ping.

"Chen Ping, haven't I told you that our party members and cadres should have a spirit of serving the people? No matter what position the organization assigned us, we must accept it humbly and work hard to do our job well?" Zhao Zhenchuan originally wanted to teach Chen Ping a lesson with a stern face, but under the stimulation of such good news, even he could not be so tense, so his mouth twitched from time to time still betrayed his happiness in agreeing with Chen Ping's words.

However, although Zhao Zhenchuan's acting skills are not good, as a subordinate, Chen Ping still has to cooperate and say: "I'm sorry, Secretary, I'm too excited and speak without any restraint."

Zhao Zhenchuan also understood how clumsy his acting skills were just now, so he would not continue to get entangled with the issues just now. He said to Chen Ping: "Now the Central Party Congress has been held, and the things that should be determined have been confirmed. As party members and cadres, we cannot leave our jobs for too long. Secretary Xiao has already brought some members of the delegation back first. It is time for our remaining delegation members to go back to Jiangnan. Chen Ping, you should be fine in Beijing, right?"

Originally, Zhao Zhenchuan asked casually, and he thought Chen Ping would answer directly, but he didn't expect that Chen Ping actually shook his head and said, "Secretary, I may really ask you for a few days off."

"Please leave? Is there anything else you have?" Zhao Zhenchuan asked in surprise, because in Zhao Zhenchuan's impression, Chen Ping has always been a very sensible subordinate, and he shouldn't have deliberately resisted his words. Is that really a problem?

"This is how the secretary is," said Chen Ping. "I talked to a partner in Beijing. Her name is Ye Lingzhi. She is the daughter of Director Ye of the National Development and Reform Commission. She only went to her house this morning to confirm the relationship in front of Director Ye. I am not sure if there will be anything else in the future, so I want to ask Secretary you for leave first, just in case."

Zhao Zhenchuan felt that he was shocked at that time because as a member of the Standing Committee of Jiangnan Province, Zhao Zhenchuan still had some understanding of the wealthy families in Beijing. As for the Ye family where Ye Lingzhi is, although it has gradually declined since the death of Mr. Ye, it is said that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how declining the Ye family is, he is still a red family, and it is an indisputable fact that he controls certain central resources.

It would be fine if Chen Ping was just talking about friends with Ye Lingzhi. It would be normal for a man to be unmarried and a woman to be married. But now that Chen Ping has gone to the Ye family and has been recognized by Ye Lingzhi's father, the relationship will be completely different.

After all, there are no elderly people in the Ye family now, and Ye Lingzhi's father is the head of the Ye family. Since he recognized Chen Ping, it means that the entire family recognized this son-in-law, and the family's resources will gradually be expanded to Chen Ping. In other words, from now on, Chen Ping will obtain the identity of a member of the red family through the Ye family.

But don’t underestimate this identity. Although there is no such aristocratic system as in ancient times, the strict hierarchy in the official circle exists.

Simply put, if a person wants to climb high in the officialdom, it may be fine below the department level, but if he wants to become a provincial level or above, it is impossible to be a member of the red family without the identity of a member of the red family. Otherwise, if he checks the backgrounds of those senior central officials and local provincial party secretaries, why are they not descendants of generals or descendants of a certain ministries and commissions?

It can be said that as long as you have the status of a member of the Red Family, even if you are the prince consort, you can still have a pass to continue playing. Otherwise, no matter how good you are, you will be a director.

This may be very unfair to some people from bad backgrounds, but the competition in the officialdom is so cruel and cold-blooded.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenchuan couldn't help but look up at Chen Ping and said to him with emotion: "I didn't expect that Chen Ping, you actually have such a thing. Compared to my competition to become the secretary of the provincial party committee, this is the happiest news for you."

How could Chen Ping not understand Zhao Zhenchuan’s thoughts? So he hurriedly explained: “Secretary, you may have misunderstood. I didn’t pursue her because Ganoderma is a girl from the Ye family. I really like her, and I don’t want to seek their relationship.”

"Chen Ping, I can understand," said Zhao Zhenchuan. "I have seen this girl Ye Lingzhi. She is a very smart girl. If you are not right to her, I am afraid she won't even look at you, let alone date you. As for you passing her father's test, you don't even think about it."

Zhao Zhenchuan paused at this point, and then continued: "You can find a girl you really like and can also help your career. Chen Ping, your happiness makes me a little jealous."

"The secretary has been awarded, but I actually want to compete with the provincial party secretary like you, Secretary! Unfortunately, I don't have the qualifications." Chen Ping said.

Zhao Zhenchuan reached out and pointed at Chen Ping with some amusement and said, "You guy! You are so incompetent that you swallow an elephant."

Chen Ping disagreed with Zhao Zhenchuan's comments, and then asked: "Secretary, have you approved my leave?"

Zhao Zhenchuan looked at Chen Ping and said, "Although you are an extra-staff member of the Jiangnan delegation now, your words and deeds also represent the Jiangnan delegation. Therefore, if you ask for leave, you should ask Secretary Lin for leave. He is the head of this delegation and the current secretary of the provincial party committee of Jiangnan Province. I am not yet."

After hearing Zhao Zhenchuan say this, Chen Ping smiled. He bowed to Zhao Zhenchuan and said, "Thank you, Secretary, I understand."
