The officialdom of rebirth

Chapter [-] Si visit

After staying in the mayor's office for about ten minutes, Ji Xian'er saw that the matter was done and was anxious to see Chen Yang as soon as possible, so she got up and left.

Zhong Zhaoyi politely expressed the hope that he could treat Ji Xianer to a light meal, and expressed his gratitude to Ji Xianer for his generosity.Of course, his intention was purely to make friends with Ji Xian'er, and he didn't have any other ideas.

After all, the current strength of Hyatt in the domestic hotel rankings is only inferior to several Hong Kong-funded and American-funded big hotels. It is definitely in the leading group in the industry, and it is indeed worth forming a relationship.

And let's take a step back, although Ji Xian'er is sexy and seductive, his years of experience as an official told him that this woman seems easy-going and easy to get close to at first glance, but she is not. He felt an inexplicable sense of distance, and he would never touch such a thorny rose. With his current status, any woman he wants is still within reach.

After asking the secretary to send Ji Xianer away, Zhong Zhaoyi pondered for a while on the boss chair, then picked up his teacup, walked to the window sill, opened a gap in the curtain with his hand, and walked through the gap to the entrance of the courtyard downstairs. Looked around.

Downstairs, Chen Yang's new local black Audi was slowly driving out of the parking lot in front of the municipal committee building, and happened to run into Ji Xian'er who was coming downstairs from the government office.

"Liu Meng, step aside and stop."

Chen Yang obviously saw Ji Xian'er through the car window, so he frowned slightly and ordered.

Ji Xian'er spent a lot of time in Xizhou, and sometimes she often came to the government compound. Most of the cars here were shabby, so she offered to sponsor Chen Yang for a while. A mid-range official car worth about one million yuan, but after Chen Yang said a few words, he didn't mention it again.At this time, a brand new Audi suddenly appeared, and she couldn't help but take a second look curiously.

Just as she was wondering who this car belonged to, the shiny black Audi had slowly stopped in front of her.

Immediately afterwards, the window of the rear compartment slowly came down, and she opened her apricot slightly, startled in a small way, and was about to say hello when Chen Yang already spoke.

Chen Yang glanced at her expressionlessly, and asked, "Is the matter over?"

"Well, it's over." Ji Xian'er nodded and replied, and then she thought that Chen Yang didn't say hello to her before, which made her think that Chen Yang was still working in the government building, and she felt a little annoyed. , but it was inconvenient to say anything on this occasion, so I could only wrinkle my nose and give Chen Yang a sneaky look.

Chen Yang pretended not to see it, and asked her again: "Did you drive here?"

"No." Ji Xian'er said as she glanced at the empty seat beside Chen Yang. In fact, her assistant came here in a commercial vehicle, but she never planned to go back in the company's car after finishing the business. When Chen Yang asked, he definitely wouldn't tell the truth.

Chen Yang let out a groan, raised his eyes and glanced to the side. It was the off-duty time, and there were off-duty cadres everywhere in the compound, but it was very strange that the Audi car was the center of a radius of tens of square meters. No one passed by, even the cadres were talking and laughing, but no one dared to take a second look at the Audi.

I have to say, this feels a bit like the emperor's new clothes.Moreover, this situation also made Chen Yang feel very helpless, but there was nothing he could do. Now that he was the serious leader of Xizhou, the cadres were more or less in awe of him. Will be afraid of being seen chatting with a beautiful woman in the street.

He didn't think too much, and immediately greeted: "Then get in the car quickly."

When Ji Xianer saw Chen Yangken, a coquettish smile immediately appeared on her pretty face. The little annoyance just now flew to nowhere in an instant. She quickly opened the door, bent down and got into the Audi car.

Soon, the Audi car restarted and slowly drove out of the gate of the compound.

Upstairs, Zhong Zhaoyi watched Audi leave with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Obviously, Ji Xian'er got into Chen Yang's car with a happy face, and he had a panoramic view. Although he is only 35 years old this year, he has been rolling in the officialdom for more than ten years. His eyesight can be described as very sharp, so naturally It is not difficult to see that there may be such an ambiguous relationship between Ji Xian'er and Secretary Chen.

Of course, in the officialdom, there are too many ambiguous relationships of this kind, and there is nothing worthy of his attention. In fact, even he himself, besides having a wife who works in the Provincial Department of Finance, has other people outside A lover, a young teacher in the Music Department of City University.

Still the same sentence, as long as they don't fall, these are not problems, especially at their level, there is not much worth digging.

At this time, there was a light knock on the door of the office, and it was his secretary Xiao Gao who came in.

Xiao Gaoyuan was a clerk in the Provincial Supervision Office, Zhong Zhaoyi's confidant. The government office arranged for Zhong Zhaoyi to be a graduate student in the secretarial department of Yan University, but Zhong Zhaoyi felt that it was not easy to use, and after a while After that, they asked him to come over from the provincial inspection office of his original unit.

"Mayor, Director Zhu from the Finance Bureau called just now and said he wanted to report to you the work plan for the second half of the year." Xiao Gao reported respectfully.

"Hmph, this old Zhu"

Zhong Zhaoyi snorted with disdain in his heart. When he first arrived in Xizhou to work, because he was in charge of finance and taxation, he had a lot of dealings with finance, and Zhu Yonggui from the Finance Bureau was Han Haitian's diehard. There were many problems for him as the executive deputy mayor, and the frequent delays in the work of the government, it can be said that he didn't sell his face very much.

But now that Boss Han has left, Zhu Yonggui knew that there was no hope for Chen Yang, so he took the initiative to throw an olive branch at the new mayor, saying that it was false to report work, arrange a meal, drink and eat The pier is real.

When Zhong Zhaoyi was still in charge of the tax office, he personally organized the Finance Bureau to check the accounts several times. He knew that the city's finances were not clean, so he didn't care about it at this time. He frowned and waved his hands: "You tell Zhu Yonggui, just Said that I would take a break at noon, and asked him to come to my office in the afternoon to talk."

"Yes, Mayor."

Xiao Gao responded, and was about to go out to help the mayor arrange vehicles, but Zhong Zhaoyi stopped him after thinking about it.

"Which hotel did Zhu Yonggui make an appointment?" Zhong Zhaoyi asked with his eyes closed as he leaned back against the large boss chair, stretched out his hand to lightly press the center of his brows.

Although he didn't know why the mayor changed his mind, Xiao Gao immediately replied, "Southern Hotel."

"Well, I see. You go to arrange a car immediately, and you will come with me later."

After Xiao Gao closed the door and went out, Zhong Zhaoyi opened his eyes again. The five fingers of his right hand rested on the smooth table, and the five fingers tapped rhythmically. The expression on his face gradually enriched with the soft sound.

In order to win the mayor's seat before, he had often traveled to the province for activities. Although his family also had a certain relationship with the central government, it was the old man who has now gone to work in the Central Organization Department who played a key role in the end. lead.After the matter was completed, he went to Yanjing specifically. He remembered that when he was a guest at the old leader's house that day, the old leader had mentioned a few things to him while drinking. Zhan Xizhou paid close attention to it, and warned him to pay attention to solidarity with Chen Yang in the next work, and try to carry out work according to Chen Yang's thinking.

Although the old leader didn't say it clearly, he could tell that Chen Yang was definitely not just Secretary Liu Kun from Lingxi behind.

But how should I put it, people are always ambitious, especially young cadres like him who have been registered in the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and need to be cultivated. If you want him to be a puppet mayor honestly, how can he be reconciled?

And how to balance the relationship with the secretary is a test of a person's ability.

He is confident that he has this ability, at least, now he is full of confidence

Of course, Chen Yang didn't know that someone was racking his brains for him behind the scenes. Ever since he was officially notified by the Provincial Organization Department that he would take over the post of secretary of the Xizhou Municipal Party Committee, he never considered spending his energy on intrigue above.

Indeed, although he may not necessarily think about it subjectively, he must admit frankly that his true thoughts are that no matter who will be the mayor next, he is just a puppet in his eyes. Boss Han felt constrained everywhere when he was competing, and he was an experienced old connoisseur when he played with words.

Therefore, when the provincial party committee told Zhong Zhaoyi to join his team, he did not raise any objections.

At this time, he was chatting with Ji Xian'er in the Audi car.

The people in the car were all her own people, so Ji Xian'er didn't feel too restrained. Although she yelled at Secretary Chen one by one, her Mandarin with a little Jiangnan accent was soft, and when she talked to Chen Yang, she was very soft. The tone of voice was not as casual as in formal occasions, and it was more like talking to a lover about trivial matters to others.But she herself didn't realize it.

But this time, Liu Meng and Hu Linan in the front row suffered a lot. It's not easy to really sit and watch your heart.As Chen Yang was promoted from mayor to secretary, the two of them, as people close to Chen Yang, could feel the subtle changes most. In the past, other cadres respected them when they saw them, but it was definitely not like it is now. Respect from the bottom of my heart, now the two of them are absolutely determined to follow Boss Chen's promotion and wealth, but there is no chance of mistakes.

While chatting, the car left the city, and there was a section of dirt road in front of it, which was not easy to walk, and the Audi also became a little bumpy.

"Secretary Chen, the performance of this joint venture car produced by Xiqi is not bad. It is much better than the original Honda. I will buy one another day, okay?" Ji Xianer blinked and looked at it with a smile. Said to Chen Yang.

"Ji Xian'er, can you speak well? You can buy whatever you want, why ask my opinion?"

Chen Yang couldn't help it, so he whispered something to Xian'er.

Ji Xian'er chuckled, "You said it, then I'm really going to order a car." She didn't care about Chen Yang's scolding, but thought it was very interesting to talk to her lover when outsiders were around.Of course, it would be better if there were no outsiders, and she didn't mind fighting Chen Yang for hundreds of rounds in the car at the moment.

Chen Yang has nothing to do with her, this woman used to pay attention to the influence, but after more than two years, she also knows that Liu Meng and Liu Meng are her own, the original patience has long been exhausted, and now she looks coquettish , almost on his own.

Shaking his head helplessly, he turned his head and looked out the window. As far as he could see, both sides of the bumpy road were covered with half-person-high weeds and unknown wild flowers, and further away, there was a large area of ​​yellow mud. .

The destination of Chen Yang's trip is the Xizhou Cement Plant located in the suburbs. Lingxi Province has a saying of 90 mountains since ancient times. It is a typical Kashgar landform. Most of them are stone mountains, and stone is the main resource for cement production. Therefore, After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xizhou built a large cement factory.It used to be a provincial direct enterprise, that is, it was classified as a local government in the [-]s.However, after years of development, the factory has changed several leaders but has not improved. Now the scale of this cement factory is at the lower middle level in China.

It is reasonable to say that the building materials market has been booming these years, and the supply of cement is in short supply. The factory should be booming. When Chen Yang took office, he also had high hopes for this cement factory, but it is a pity that the factory has been half-dead. Chen Yang also approved the 600 million technical improvement funds, but after introducing several production lines from the United States, the factory's efficiency has not improved. Now there are more than 500 active and retired employees. It was once brilliant. The momentary business has reached the brink of bankruptcy.

Originally, with the current development momentum of Xizhou, this old-fashioned cement factory has no great strategic significance, and it will be fine if it goes bankrupt. 》There happened to be a piece of news about a cement factory. It said that some old workers in the cement factory were suffering from tuberculosis, an occupational disease, but had no money to treat the disease. They went to the provincial party committee to petition.

And he came this time because he wanted to see the situation of the cement factory on the ground. If conditions permit, he will go to the factory in the afternoon to hold a meeting with the factory leaders to get the pulse of the company. Jumping out of some petitioners will affect the image of Xizhou government.

Thinking of this, he casually asked the front: "Liu Meng, how long will it take to get to the cement factory?"

"Secretary, the journey out of the city is not easy, and it may take about half an hour." Liu Meng hurriedly replied, and then continued to focus on the road ahead, trying to minimize the degree of bumps.

Chen Yang hummed, then closed his eyes, wanting to rest for a while.I didn't have a good rest last night, and I reviewed the documents for half a day this morning. The mental work is the most tiring, so I feel a little tired at this time.

Seeing Chen Yang's tired look, Ji Xian'er immediately felt a little distressed. If she was at home, she could naturally massage Chen Yang to relax at this time, but now

Quickly glanced at the two big light bulbs in front of her, and saw that they were both looking straight ahead, she hesitated for a moment, but slowly stretched out her hand, placed it on Chen Yang's thigh, and began to massage gently.

Chen Yang closed his eyes and rested his mind, and didn't intend to stop it. Ji Xian'er was determined, so she let go of her hands and feet to help Chen Yang lift her shoulders.She had learned this skill a long time ago, and she was very accurate in recognizing the acupoints. After pressing for a while, most of the fatigue accumulated on Chen Yang's body was removed. Woke up comfortably.

The Audi turned a few more hills and entered the site of the Xizhou Cement Factory.The residential areas scattered along the slope are the houses of cement factory workers. Chen Yang got out of the car, left the main road, and walked along the street towards the residential areas.

This is a typical old residential area, with dilapidated houses, many illegally built sheds and single-brick side houses, and the smell of food goes straight to the street. In some places, the sewers are obviously blocked, and residents directly pour dirty water into the street. on the sewer.

Chen Yang frowned, looked at the messy residential area in Luan, and walked to the gate of the factory building. In broad daylight, General Tie was already guarding the door. He stood outside the factory building, motionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The three of Ji Xian'er also got out of the car, but they didn't dare to disturb him, so they just stayed with him outside the factory building.

"Who are you all, what are you doing here?"

A thin, middle-aged man in red sleeves walked over while shouting.

Chen Yang ignored him, but winked at Hu Linan next to him.Before coming here, Hu Linan had already been instructed by Chen Yang. When he came to the cement factory this time, what Chen Yang wanted to know was the first-hand real situation. Therefore, without even thinking about it, he took the initiative to greet him, and he was not in a hurry to reveal his identity. Slowly asked the man, "Comrade, I have a cousin who works in a cement factory, and I want to play with him."

While talking, the man had already walked up to the man, took out a box of Yunyan worth ten yuan, weighed one and handed it to the man.

The man was not polite either, he took the cigarette, his attitude was a little more friendly, and he asked Xiao Hu, "Which workshop does your cousin work in?"

"I don't know too well, it seems that he said that he works in the assembly workshop." Xiaohu pinched him casually, and then asked, "By the way, comrade, why doesn't your factory start work at noon?"

"Start a mao job, haven't you seen that the factory has collapsed a long time ago, and production has been suspended for more than three months, and now it is waiting for the city to approve bankruptcy and liquidation." He replied, and before Xiao Hu answered, he began to scold on his own, "***, those officials in the factory have their consciences blackened. They eat and drink all day, and the monthly food expenses are more than one hundred thousand yuan. , and pick up and drop off cars every day, it’s strange that the factory doesn’t collapse.”

Xiao Hu Wenyan frowned, and continued to inquire: "I heard from my cousin that a while ago, many employees in the factory had no money to see a doctor and went to the province?"

The thin and tall man was a chatterbox, and he answered carelessly: "Isn't it? The conditions in the factory are not good. Eight out of ten front-line workers have tuberculosis. He died exhausted in the factory." After working for a lifetime, in the end, I couldn’t even pay for the basic medical expenses. No one complains. A few days ago, a colleague in my workshop, Lao Huang, got sick. His wife went to ask for finance. Those little girls knelt down, and now the big and small bosses in the factory have IOUs in the factory, if all the funds occupied by the Si people are repaid, the factory will have working capital."

Xiao Hu then added some words, and when he was about to go deeper, Liu Meng ran over and patted him on the shoulder, motioning: "The secretary told us to go back." He just gave up.

Back in the car, Chen Yang told him to drive straight back to the city.

Ji Xian'er on the side rarely came out to do business with Chen Yang, she was surprised when she heard the words, this was not Chen Yang's style in her impression, and then she felt that the workers in the factory were pitiful when she heard what the guard said earlier, so she just laughed He muttered softly: "These workers are really miserable, and they have no money to treat them when they are sick."

Knowing that she was talking to him, Chen Yang said with a wry smile: "It's not a day's cold to freeze the sky. If the system doesn't change, there will be many things like cement factories. The government can control one family, but not everything else." enterprises."

Ji Xian'er glanced at Chen Yang and said nothing.

,

The next morning, Chen Yang arrived at the office early.

After work, he asked Hu Linan to call Lin Chaoyang, the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, and he put a thick stack of documents in front of him, handed one of the documents to Lin Chaoyang, and said, "Wait a minute and let the audit, finance and discipline inspection committees all work together. Come to a deputy, go to the small meeting for a meeting, and you will preside over the meeting. The specific task is to form a joint investigation team of three companies. The scale should not be large, just three or four people, and enter the city cement factory in the name of daily audit. Pay special attention Investigate whether there is any misappropriation of public funds by factory cadres, and report the results to me."

Lin Chaoyang was confused, but he still nodded in response.
