pinnacle of power

"Okay, Lao Cheng has a good plan! Let's do it like this." Ji Jiantao said happily as he slapped the table.

Ji Jiantao immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Liu Qingyu's mobile phone and said straight to the point: "Secretary Liu, the research team from Yanjing City will come down to our Tiandu City tomorrow to conduct research. I discussed it with Comrade Chen Liping. I plan to ask you to have a good discussion about how to proceed with our work in the next step. I think it is best for us to immediately convene an emergency standing committee to make careful arrangements for the investigation team to prevent accidents from happening. After all, this time we are The "Regulations on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Migrant Workers" passed by the city has caused too much controversy, if we do not deal with it carefully, I am afraid that this research team's research may be against us."

While speaking, Ji Jiantao's tone seemed very sincere, as if everything he did was for the sake of Tiandu.

Liu Qingyu immediately said indifferently: "Well, Comrade Ji Jiantao, I am very touched that you think so, but now I have more important things to deal with here, so let's do it. After the investigation team comes down, it will be mainly up to your municipal government to deal with it. Come to be responsible for accompanying the whole process, and Chen Liping will lead the comrades from the Propaganda Department to cooperate with the investigation, so the two of you discuss this matter first, and then make a good arrangement for this matter at the last municipal government work meeting. If there is anything that needs our coordination, you can directly communicate with Comrade Hu Ruilin and ask him to report to me. Our municipal party committee will definitely cooperate fully, and we must work together to do a good job in the reception of this survey.”

Hearing this, Ji Jiantao could only smile wryly and say, "Okay, then I'll do it now."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Jiantao let out a long sigh and said, "Hey, it seems that Liu Qingyu is really very scheming, and he has probably seen through our thoughts. His series of deployments just now are obviously well prepared. We just If you can take the second step, ask Secretary Wang or Governor Zhao to come forward."

Afterwards, Ji Jiantao called Zhao Dongcai and Wang Honghao one after another, and reported the matter here to them.

The answers of the two were surprisingly consistent, making Ji Jiantao wait for the phone call.

Later, Wang Honghao and Zhao Dongcai made a phone call.

Wang Honghao asked: "Governor Zhao, did Ji Jiantao report to you about Liu Qingyu and the Municipal People's Congress just now?"

Zhao Dongcai nodded: "Yes, it has been reported, Lao Wang, what are you going to do about this matter?"

Wang Honghao smiled bitterly and said: "This matter is really difficult to handle. Now Liu Qingyu is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee after all. If we don't have enough reasons, it will be difficult to hold him back for a while, so I think we'd better deal with this matter." Don't directly target Liu Qingyu. Especially when the investigation team is coming down tomorrow, it will be extremely easy to trigger a backlash from Zeng Guohai."

Zhao Dongcai nodded: "Well, you are right, I also think the same way, since the research team is coming down soon, we can live in peace with Liu Qingyu for the time being, everything will wait for the investigation results of the research team to come out I'll talk about it later. As for Ji Jiantao's purpose for calling us is very clear, that is, he hopes that we can help Liu Qingyu at the provincial committee level so that he can't go to the Municipal People's Congress to find Wang Yuan for public relations. His idea is good. , but we really can't do this.

However, we can't take action against Liu Qingyu, but it's relatively easy to deal with Wang Yuan. How about this? I'll call Deputy Director Xu of the Provincial People's Congress and ask him to come forward and talk to Wang Yuan about the work of the National People's Congress. Have a detailed exchange. I estimate that three or four hours of their exchange will pass. When the time comes, you can go over and have a meal together. In this way, it will probably be around nine o'clock in the evening when Wang Yuan returns home. Even if Liu Qingyu found Wang Yuan, no matter how he did his work, he might not be able to change the result of the proposal being rejected. "

"Okay, then I'll make the arrangements." Wang Honghao said.

When Liu Qingyu drove to the Municipal People's Congress and came to Wang Yuan's office, he was told that Wang Yuan had already gone to the Provincial People's Congress for a meeting, and Liu Qingyu returned without success.

After getting off work in the evening, Liu Qingyu directly dialed Wang Yuan's phone number, but learned that Wang Yuan had dinner at night and would not be able to return home in a short time.

Liu Qingyu's face suddenly became gloomy, and he faintly felt that something was not quite right.

Could it be that Wang Yuan is hiding from him on purpose?There is such a possibility.But Wang Yuan should know that since he went to the door in person, he definitely wanted to meet him, why did he always avoid seeing him?

Liu Qingyu's face became more and more ugly. He pondered for a while, and then said directly to Li Chuang: "Let's go to dinner first, and then go directly to Wang Yuan's house after dinner."

Afterwards, the two of them went to the snack street outside the Municipal Party Committee to have a casual dinner to fill their stomachs, and then rushed directly to Wang Yuan's house.

Wang Yuan's house is only about 500 meters away from the Municipal People's Congress, and it belongs to the family courtyard of the old municipal government.This is the house assigned by Wang Yuan's former unit.

After delivering Liu Qingyu, Li Chuang waited downstairs while Liu Qingyu walked upstairs.

This is a four-storey building with no elevator.

Wang Yuan's family lives on the second floor.

After Liu Qingyu rang the doorbell, a man in his 30s opened the door and saw that the person standing outside was Liu Qingyu, he was taken aback at the time, and asked with some doubts: "Excuse me, who are you looking for? "

While asking, the man murmured in his heart: "Why does this person look so similar to Liu Qingyu, secretary of the municipal party committee?"

Liu Qingyu smiled and said: "You are Comrade Wang Chengguo, the son of Comrade Wang Yuan, right? I am Liu Qingyu. Is Comrade Wang Yuan at home?"

"Liu...Liu Qingyu? Secretary Liu!" Wang Chengguo's eyes widened at the time, and he quickly came to his senses. He quickly opened the door and said, "Secretary Liu, please come in. My father hasn't come back yet. You come in and sit down first." Bar."

While talking, Wang Chengguo let Liu Qingyu in.

After Liu Qingyu walked into the room and took a look, he was immediately stunned.

This is an old-fashioned house with three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The living room is not big enough to fit three sofas.

At this moment, in the living room, an older woman, a younger woman, and a little boy are sitting around the coffee table eating.

The meals on the coffee table are relatively simple, millet porridge, rice, two plates of stir-fried vegetables, one with scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and one with fried meat with green peppers.At this moment, the dinner was coming to an end, and only the boy was reluctantly eating rice under the coaxing of his mother.

Seeing a stranger like Liu Qingyu come in, the little boy stared at Liu Qingyu curiously, and didn't care about eating.

Seeing this situation, Wang Chengguo immediately said: "Mom, Xiaowei, this is Secretary Liu of the Municipal Party Committee. He came to look for my dad. Have you guys finished your meal? Clear the table when you're done."

After finishing speaking, Wang Chengguo looked at Liu Qingyu again and said with an embarrassed smile: "Secretary Liu, I'm really sorry, our house is relatively small and we don't have a special place for guests, so we can only ask you to wait for a while."

Hearing that it was the secretary of the municipal party committee, the two women greeted Liu Qingyu and acted immediately. They quickly cleaned up the coffee table. Immediately, Wang Chengguo's wife took the little boy back to the room, and Wang Chengguo's mother also returned to the room. After entering, outside, only Wang Chengguo was left to entertain Liu Qingyu.

Wang Chengguo made a pot of tea for Liu Qingyu, and chatted with Liu Qingyu.

"Secretary Liu, what can you do with my dad?" Wang Chengguo said with a smile.

Liu Qingyu said: "The main reason is that I want to discuss with him about the work of the Municipal People's Congress. When will he come back?"

Wang Chengguo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm really not sure today, but if it's normal, my dad will come home on time, even if there's a dinner, he'll usually be back no later than 8:[-]."

Liu Qingyu looked at the wall clock on the wall, and it was about 7 o'clock in the evening, so he nodded: "Oh, if that's the case, then I'll sit here and wait for him for a while, this time the work is more important, I have to Talk to him personally.

Liu Qingyu waited for 2 hours.

During this period, Liu Qingyu had already drank a whole pot of tea, chatting with Wang Chengguo, the more he chatted with Liu Qingyu, the more surprised he felt.

Regarding Wang Yuan, what Liu Qingyu got from Jiang Shen was that Wang Yuan was a very old-fashioned and stubborn official, who belonged to the kind of old-fashioned person, but from Wang Chengguo's speech and behavior, Liu Qingyu could tell that , although Wang Chengguo inherited some of Wang Yuan's characteristics, and his words and actions are very principled, but he is not pedantic, especially when he has his own views on certain things.

Through chatting with Wang Chengguo, Liu Qingyu learned that Wang Chengguo majored in Chinese at university and has a deep understanding of Chinese classical literature.

Therefore, Liu Qingyu chatted directly with Wang Chengguo about Confucianism.

This conversation doesn't matter. Liu Qingyu found that Wang Chengguo has a lot of research on Confucianism, especially the deep understanding of traditional Chinese culture. Liu Qingyu's mind just moved, and he asked a few more profound questions without any trace. Liu Qingyu was very satisfied with Wang Chengguo's answer, and couldn't help but cherish Wang Chengguo's talent a little more.

Afterwards, Liu Qingyu asked about Wang Chengguo's work situation, and only then did he learn that Wang Chengguo, a high-achieving student who graduated from Wuhan University, is now only a department-level cadre. He saw Wang Chengguo's depression and unwillingness, but he also saw Wang Chengguo's heart of letting nature take its course, and he appreciated it more and more in his heart.

At around 9:[-] in the evening, the key rang at the door, and when the door opened, Wang Yuanman walked in, reeking of alcohol and slightly shaking.

Seeing Wang Yuan coming back, Liu Qingyu and Wang Chengguo stood up at the same time.Wang Chengguo took two steps forward and said, "Dad, Secretary Liu is here. He has been waiting for you for more than two hours. Why did you come back?"

Wang Yuan was very surprised to see Liu Qingyu, and asked, "Secretary Liu, why are you here?"
