pinnacle of power

Zhu Tianxiao looked at He Yuxiang's expression full of anger and dissatisfaction, but the expression on his face was very calm.

As a deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, in the past, although he sometimes had to stand in Zhou Junhao's camp for the overall situation of the city government, but for him, that was also an expedient measure.Because in his opinion, in the current situation in Lanshan City, only by maintaining the balance of power between Zhang Shuncheng and Zhou Junhao, can the overall situation of Lanshan City remain stable, and the people of Lanshan City have the possibility to gain some real benefits. s things.Everything he did was for the common people of Lanshan City.Because he is the deputy mayor of Arashiyama City.

However, for Zhu Tianxiao, his support for Zhou Junhao at the Standing Committee does not mean that he thinks highly of Zhou Junhao personally.In his opinion, whether it is Zhang Shuncheng or Zhou Junhao, these two people are just politicians who like to play tricks. They only think about the interests of themselves or the people in their own camp. Although they are also doing things for the common people, However, that kind of work is nothing more than official business, and everything is for political achievements and career promotion. From the bottom of their hearts, they have no intention of allowing the common people to benefit in real terms, especially Zhou Junhao, who is the leader of the city when he is in charge. Over the years, although he has done a lot of things and spent a lot of financial money on the surface, many of the things he has done are almost all political achievement projects, which is why the economy of Lanshan City has not been improved until now. One of the root causes of the development.

What really made Zhu Tianxiao dissatisfied with Zhou Junhao was that Zhou Junhao was extremely good at playing tricks, and he also won the support of the executive deputy mayor He Yuxiang. It's because the city government is making a lot of noise. When making many decisions, it's often just an individual slapping his head. If he thinks of something, he can directly pass it in the name of a collective vote at the mayor's office meeting. In fact, it's him at all. personal thoughts.Although sometimes he raised some objections, they were all ignored by Zhou Junhao.This is also the reason why few deputy mayors spoke against it at the mayor's office meeting in Lanshan City before, because everyone could see that even if they objected, Zhou Junhao would do what he wanted .

It's just that Zhu Tianxiao never thought that Zhou Junhao escaped the anti-corruption storm, which made him a little bit more shocked and admired Zhou Junhao's political skills. In his opinion, Zhou Junhao has engaged in so many political achievements. It is impossible not to do some tricks and collect some bribes, but the investigation team of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection did not give him double supervision this time. He really couldn't figure out what the problem was.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, he is absolutely unwilling to get involved with someone like Zhou Junhao, because in his opinion, as the country's legal system becomes more and more perfect, as the anti-corruption efforts and reform efforts become more and more Strong and deep, corrupt elements will definitely have no place to stay in the end, maybe they can escape a temporary crisis, but corrupt elements themselves are a kind of crisis, and being with such people is simply a crime, and it is also dancing with wolves. In the end, sooner or later, he will be implicated. As an official with ideals and aspirations, what he has to do is to do things according to his own heart, and find ways to do more practical and good things for the common people.

But for Liu Qingyu, he has been under observation.This time Liu Qingyu threw out a secretary-general of the city government at the first mayor's office meeting for the deputy mayors to compete for, which made him see Liu Qingyu's political skills, and he Therefore, he is willing to support Yang Xiaodong's proposal of Chen Xuanbin as the secretary-general because he is sure that Chen Xuanbin can do it. At the same time, he also has a little understanding of Yang Xiaodong, knowing that this person is just like himself, and now he is just lurking in Lanshan City. The dragons and tigers in the shallows are nothing more than a chance. What they need is an opportunity.

At this time, Liu Qingyu talked with everyone about some work and announced the end of the meeting. Everyone stood up and pulled over. Liu Qingyu suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, after the meeting is over, Comrade Yang Xiaodong will come to my office."

After speaking, Liu Qingyu was the first to stand up and walk out.

Yang Xiaodong was the last one to walk out of the conference room. He walked towards Liu Qingyu's office with a puzzled face on his face. He couldn't understand why Liu Qingyu would be the first to call for himself to speak, and also called for himself to go. his office.However, it is an undoubted fact that Liu Qingyu supported the candidate he nominated, which made him even more puzzled. Why did Liu Qingyu support Chen Xuanbin?

In Liu Qingyu's office, Yang Xiaodong opened the door and walked in.

Liu Qingyu was not sitting on the office chair at the moment, but was sitting by the coffee table waiting for Yang Xiaodong. A pot of tea had already been brewed and two teacups were placed beside him. Seeing this situation, Yang Xiaodong was flattered You know, there is no secretary in Liu Qingyu's office now. Obviously, Liu Qingyu has to do all these tasks in person, and Liu Qingyu is waiting for him after making tea, which is somewhat surprising.

Seeing Yang Xiaodong coming in, Liu Qingyu patted the sofa next to him with a smile and said, "Come on, Comrade Xiaodong, sit here, let's have a cup of tea and chat."

After Yang Xiaodong sat down, he quickly picked up the teapot and poured tea into Liu Qingyu's teacup, and poured another cup for himself.

At this time, Liu Qingyu said with a smile: "Comrade Xiaodong, I guess, you must have a question in your mind now, why would I support the Comrade Chen Xuanbin you proposed to be the secretary-general of the municipal government?"

When Yang Xiaodong heard Liu Qingyu mention this question straight to the point, he immediately relaxed from his slightly nervous mood, nodded with a smile and said, "I am indeed a little confused."

Liu Qingyu said with a smile: "Actually, before the meeting, I checked the current deputy secretaries-general of the municipal government. From what I found out, although Chen Xuanbin is not the most qualified, but his talent He is quite outstanding, and he is a top student in the Development Economics Department of the School of Economics of Peking University. He also obtained a degree certificate from the Department of Chinese Language and Culture during the school. I later studied his career history and found that he had served as the mayor and deputy county magistrate, and when he served as the mayor and deputy county magistrate, the economy of his locality was very good, but he later entered the city. After the government served as Deputy Secretary-General, his official career stagnated. This is the final reason why I am interested in him. I have also read several books published by him. I have to say that his talent is fully displayed in his books showed up."

Speaking of this, Liu Qingyu's tone became a little more serious and said: "Comrade Xiaodong, our Lanshan City urgently needs to vigorously develop its economy. It is a time when there is a shortage of talents, so I want to use Comrade Chen Xuanbin, so when When you first mentioned him, I was sure to support you."

Hearing Liu Qingyu's explanation, Yang Xiaodong suddenly realized.

At this time, Liu Qingyu once again said something surprising: "Comrade Yang Xiaodong, you are able to recommend a talent like Comrade Chen Xuanbin, which shows that you really have a heart and vision, and I have also studied your resume. I was a little surprised that you graduated from Tsinghua University, and you are my senior brother. We both graduated from the Department of Computer Science."

Yang Xiaodong was taken aback, and looked at Liu Qingyu: "Are you also a graduate of Tsinghua University's Department of Computer Science?"

Liu Qingyu nodded: "Yes, when I was in college, I saw you in the list of previous student union cadres. If I remember correctly, you seemed to be the head of the organization department of the student union at that time, right?"

Yang Xiaodong was even more surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Qingyu even remembered this. You know, Liu Qingyu has graduated from university for some years, and he still remembered a name he had seen before. Although he was surprised, he quickly nodded. He nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, Mayor Liu, do you even remember this?"

Liu Qingyu said with a smile: "I don't have any advantages, but my memory is stronger."

Speaking of this, Liu Qingyu said in a very cordial tone: "Brother, I know that you are suspended, I hope you don't leave, stay and help my brother and I f*** open the economic situation of Lanshan City The lives of ordinary people in Lanshan City are really poor. I hope to change the living conditions of ordinary people sincerely, so that ordinary people can actually move towards a well-off life. Brother, I have also studied your resume, although you have graduated I have been staying in the provincial government, but I have read some articles you wrote, including some papers you wrote in college. I feel that you are a person with great ideas. I want you to assist me in developing new areas in Lanshan City. situation."

While speaking, Liu Qingyu's expression appeared very sincere.

Seeing Liu Qingyu's expression, Yang Xiaodong was completely stunned.

On the one hand, he didn't expect Liu Qingyu to have an alumni relationship with him, on the other hand, he didn't expect Liu Qingyu to ask him so earnestly to stay and help him develop Lanshan City's economy together.

Yang Xiaodong's heart also began to churn and struggle violently.

Yang Xiaodong knows very well that he only needs to spend the rest of the year in Lanshan City smoothly. If he is transferred back to the province, he must be a sub-department-level cadre. He must also be a deputy mayor, and his ranking should be relatively high.The situation in Lanshan City is very chaotic now, especially after Zhang Shuncheng was double-regulated, the situation in Lanshan City can be said to be a mess.In the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Zhang Shuncheng must have the upper hand, while Liu Qingyu's advantage in the municipal government is not obvious. Whether Liu Qingyu can beat Zhou Junhao is still a matter of debate. Vice Governor Rui said personally that Liu Qingyu's next year is a probationary period, and if he doesn't perform well, he may be transferred away.

In this case, is it necessary for me to take a huge risk to stay and help Liu Qingyu?Once Liu Qingyu fails, what will he do in the future?
