Provincial Party Secretary

Chapter 1 "Brother No. 1" Secretary Wants to Resign ([-])
Generally, when foreign guests come to the provincial capital, they stay at the Cuiming Lake Hotel.

The emerald green must be bright, which is the origin of the name of this artificial lake, which makes people feel refreshed. The landscape created by the "Great Leap Forward" in 1958 has now become the living lung of the city, and the provincial party committee has also settled down on the lakeside, and the office buildings are hidden among the green trees and flowers. It is flamboyant, but has a unique charm.It is said that after liberation, the former leaders of the provincial party committee were very good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and their taste was certainly not low.The site selection back then was naturally far-sighted.Later, for the convenience of foreign affairs work, a foreign hotel was built on the other side of the lake.

It can be said that the Cuiming Lake Hotel was completed during the "Cultural Revolution", and it was built on a small hillside by the lake.Back then, foreign guests had to get off the car when driving by the lake and climb up steps no less than the Great Hall of the People to reach the Daping in front of the hotel. In the Daping is a large group of sculptures, which is quite imposing.Foreign guests must make a detour in front of these sculptures before entering the hotel.And the hotel gate has a few meters high steps, otherwise, it can't be regarded as entering the room.The provincial leaders waited on the top of the steps to welcome the guests.

Today, group sculptures no longer exist. It is said that the craftsmanship is too rough, which affects the image of the city-this is a very legitimate reason, after all, the times have progressed.Nowadays, there is even a big red carpet, which stretches from the hall to the lake, at least hundreds of meters long. Some people say it is too extravagant, but some people say it sternly.As a result, the hundreds of meters of red carpets, regardless of wind, frost, rain, and snow, have to be replaced in no time.

After the dinner, Gao Tianpeng, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, led his team and sent a visiting delegation from Western countries out of the hall. Standing on the big red carpet, he shook hands with all the guests to say goodbye.

When the guests walked down the red carpet slowly, Gao Tianpeng's feeling was simply wonderful.As the guests went down, the shadows became smaller, which gave him the arrogance to dominate the world and make all nations come to court. Therefore, at this time, he would always watch the car disappear into the night before turning and leaving.At night, the hotel is brightly lit, and Cuiming Lake is even more radiant. The colorful neon lights transform this guest house into a moon palace where Qionglou Yuyu is located, often amazed by foreigners.

At this moment, the motorcade of foreign guests has melted into the shadows of lights all over the lake, and it is impossible to tell which are the car lights, street lights and the shadows of the lake.But Gao Tianpeng still stood in front of the door without turning around. The others had already left.

Secretary Yin Jun naturally knew Gao Tianpeng's habits - since he was promoted from governor to secretary of the provincial party committee a year ago, he must be like this when seeing off guests.The governor was the head of administration, but at that time he was only a deputy in the provincial party committee. Only the secretary of the provincial party committee was the veritable "first brother". Only then did he feel like the master of this large inland province.It makes sense for him to stay longer and let others leave.

But today, Yin Jun couldn't hold back anymore, and called softly: "Secretary Gao."

Gao Tianpeng didn't seem to hear it, and didn't respond at all.

Yin Jun simply walked in front of him and reminded: "The guest has gone far, Secretary Gao."

Only then did Gao Tianpeng open his mouth: "Today, these guests, why don't they tell me about GDP, but just talk about municipal administration and culture...are they playing tricks?"

Yin Jun smiled and said, "That's not true."

"What's that?"

"Talking about GDP is nothing more than catering to our psychology of economic development. In fact, when you go to other countries, they will not tell you about GDP. It is a matter for functional departments. You are regarded as a cultured and knowledgeable leader." Yin Jun said.

"That's about the same, but it made me confused, and Deputy Secretary Lin stole the limelight," Gao Tianpeng said.

"That's Deputy Secretary Lin helping you out. You're from engineering..."

"Lin is also from engineering."

"He studied architecture, art, and liberal arts, not the 'technocrat' as others ridicule him."

"How to explain this?"

"In the past, this is how the system of the former Soviet Union was evaluated, and it also implies that we have followed suit..."

"But we reformed and opened up. Of course, those who come up are experts and experts. What can we say about this. What does it have to do with the former Soviet Union?"

"How do people look at it? It's hard to explain it in a word. Why bother to get to the bottom of it?"

"No, I always feel that they are clearly implying more things. I am no longer a technical expert, but an administrative leader. I have been in politics for as long as the reform and opening up." Gao Tianpeng frowned, "Are they picky? I don’t understand economics as an engineering student, so I can’t manage the economy of such an inland province?”

Yin Jun hesitated for a while, then nodded, and said: "Actually, you understand that you are just testing us. The meaning is very clear. Sitting in this position, whether you have political achievements is the criterion. If you don't , then I’m sorry, just move a seat and let someone else come up..." Speaking of this, Yin Jun consciously made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly stopped, "Of course, of course..."

"Don't take it for granted, hum, these foreigners!"

Gao Tianpeng was furious and let out a bad breath.

"Yes, they look at things from an economic or money point of view. In their hearts, they are nothing more than implying that the legitimacy of our sitting in this position can still be discounted, and they have ulterior motives." Yin Jun had to add this, he knew his own person too well. "Boss" again.

These days, even the secretary of the provincial party committee, or in other words, most of the "top leaders" are collectively referred to as "boss" by the people.In other words, this has become the highest honorific title in the current society. Whoever wants to curry favor with someone, calling him "Boss" will definitely make him feel elated.Is it kitsch, or is it a kind of virtual quantification-to quantify everything, such as power, ability, and professional title, into a boss level with money.

So under normal circumstances, leaders can only do as the Romans do, and people call them that, otherwise, they are laymen again.

Before Yin Jun's words fell, Gao Tianpeng turned around and went to the hall first. This evening, after the reception, there was a regular meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.

Everyone is here, just waiting for him.

This is a multifunctional conference hall of the hotel. Although the sparrow is small, it is fully equipped with all modern facilities.Following Gao Tianpeng, Yin Jun walked into the conference hall, put a laptop on the table, connected it, and waited for Gao Tianpeng to speak.

After Gao Tianpeng took his seat, he took a sip of the famous local alpine cloud tea, and felt much refreshed. Then he looked around at the eleven members of the Standing Committee present, and made an opening remark:

"Our province is facing another opportunity for great development. This opportunity cannot be missed. The time will never come again. Last time, due to the hesitation of the previous leadership team, we lost an opportunity to develop simultaneously with neighboring provinces. We will not go to a higher level this time. It will inevitably be pulled farther, and it will be difficult to catch up. At that time, what will our team look like to see the folks in our province again? Today, I will plan the top ten projects in our province that are in the pipeline. Let everyone have a look at the preliminary show, everyone can fully express their opinions, but let me make a statement first, today is just a discussion, no need for everyone to make a decision... Do you understand what I mean?"

Seeing everyone nodding, Gao Tianpeng told Yin Jun: "Let's get started."

On the video screen of the conference hall, the first of the top ten projects - the blueprint of the second largest city in the province, Beiling Chemical Base, appeared immediately.

This is what Yin Jun specially asked the planning department to "deeply process" the original plan. He understands the boss's intention and must pre-emptively strike the screen and make the aesthetic effect of the screen very well. A magnificent modern enterprise is immediately displayed in front of people. , and the more detailed figures are also listed one by one, especially the contribution to the province's GDP and fiscal revenue.

Someone seemed to be about to speak.

But Yin Jun immediately took over the second project—the Olympic Sports Center in Linzhou City, the provincial capital. Looking at the scene from far and near, it looks exactly like the pattern of the five rings. The designer fully mobilized the changing angle of the audience's sight...

Someone exclaimed: "It's quite magnificent and spectacular!"

The third project - the expressway connecting Linzhou with neighboring developed provinces and cities, to break through the bottleneck of inconvenient transportation in the southern mountainous area, the so-called road leads to wealth...

The fourth project - Linzhou Expo...

The fifth project...

……

When the top ten projects were displayed one by one, Yin Jun put away his laptop and quietly left the venue.

When he closed the door, there was already a heated argument inside.

He habitually came to the lounge next to the conference hall, where there were already several leaders' secretaries chatting about the mountains. When he came in, someone joked:
"Secretary Yin, once these top ten projects are completed, you will also be accompanying the boss to Beijing."

Yin Jun laughed it off: "Do you think I'm expected to go to Beijing with the boss?"

The teaser smiled treacherously: "So, you have two minds?"

"I'm just conscious that I'm not capable enough, I don't know much, and I can't keep up."

"You've become the 'second boss'. I'm afraid the boss won't be able to play without you. How can we do without you?"

Yin Jun said solemnly: "You can't make a joke like this. If this word spreads, I'm afraid that I will die without a place to die. After hearing what you said, I really want Tian Ya to retreat and get away early."

He really broke out in a cold sweat.

The other party hurriedly made amends: "Secret Yin, I deserve to be slapped with this mouth, but I've always just said something without intention, adults don't remember villains, offend, offend."

Yin Jun was serious: "Thank you very much for reminding me. It's not easy to be the secretary of 'Brother One', you don't know my difficulties. Maybe, I will resign tomorrow."

"Are you joking?" A deputy secretary's secretary gave him a suspicious look.

"You don't believe me? Then ride a donkey and read the libretto." Yin Jun resumed his teasing look.

"However, it's time for the boss to let you go out to work. You can't be a secretary for a lifetime."

"This is the leader's consideration. I can't make a mistake. The secretary's headline admonishment should be the four-character mantra of 'safety and self-control'."

"You are clouded, you talk about retreating, resigning, and you talk about keeping yourself safe. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"

"It will be revealed soon. When it goes, it must go, and it must be broken." Yin Jun seemed to have a plan in mind.

It made everyone in the room look at each other in blank dismay.

However, in the end, everyone shook their heads in unison, because the relationship between Yin Jun and Gao Tianpeng was extraordinary. He followed Gao Tianpeng wherever he was transferred. The length of time was not comparable to that of any secretary. When Jianghai City, a neighboring province, was promoted to be the Director of Industry, he took a fancy to Xiao Yin who worked in the office. With the upsurge of technicians and intellectuals taking up leadership positions, Gao Tianpeng was quickly promoted to the Deputy Mayor of Jianghai City. The mayor, the mayor, naturally, when he said something, Yin Jun became his full-time secretary.This "partner" has lasted for 15 years. Gao Tianpeng was transferred from the mayor here to serve as the deputy governor, deputy secretary, executive deputy governor, and governor. Also from the section staff, sub-section, and main section to the sub-section, the main section, and the sub-office.Not only is he good at understanding Gao Tianpeng's intentions, but he can also coordinate all aspects of the relationship and make up for the loopholes that some leaders have not considered carefully. This is the secretary's difficulty, but it is also his strength.Therefore, everyone from top to bottom is unanimously optimistic about him, and Boss Gao may not be willing to "let him go".

The Standing Committee over there is drawing to a close.

The biggest controversy is the first project - the North Ridge Chemical Industry Base. Because the investment is too large, there is no sign of attracting investment. Although the future prospects are attractive, the implementation of the project now will overwhelm the provincial finances...

Lin Jiayu, deputy secretary, did not expressly object, but there was bone in his words: "For such a large project, it should be fully demonstrated, especially if it has to go to the Ministry..."

Governor Huang said: "This project was approved by the Ministry. If it doesn't go ahead, the Ministry will probably revoke the project. When Secretary Gao was governor, he went to Beijing many times to establish this project. To be careful, without this tenacity, the project might not be able to run..."

Lin Jiayu said: "Yes, the project has been established for four or five years, and the situation has changed. We should have a macroscopic grasp. Some of the expenditures may have changed, such as the water shortage in Beiling..."

Gao Tianpeng took a look at Lin Jiayu: "Don't talk about it, don't make a decision? Just express your opinion, and then we will urge the functional departments to do the relevant work..."

Everyone stopped talking.

At the end, Gao Tianpeng cleared his throat, and said thoughtfully, "Just now, I thought about it for a while. These top ten projects should be renamed..."

Governor Huang said, "Isn't that a good name?"

"I was inspired by a conversation with a foreign delegation before the meeting. I felt a bit wrong when they talked about their political achievements and kept silent about their political achievements. The political achievements they talked about were from an economic point of view, and they were talking about governance. The political achievements of the political leaders, and the legitimacy of sitting in this position is due to their political achievements. Of course, we cannot start from their thinking, and we must not fall into their trap. That is to say, we cannot start from the so-called personal achievements, but rather It is based on the needs and interests of the people, and the great cause of socialism, so I propose that the word 'achievement' must be removed and the word 'people's heart' be replaced..."

"Ten popular projects?" The governor immediately clapped his hands and applauded, "It's a good change, just change two characters, and the realm will go up!"

"People's Heart Project?" Lin Jiayu seemed to chew these words in his mouth, and then nodded with great certainty, "Well done, it has changed to its true nature! The true nature of the Communist Party is still those five words, Serve the people. Follow the hearts of the people and prosper.”

Seeing that Lin Jiayu had no objection, Gao Tianpeng was even more elated: "Well, at the right time, let the words 'popularity project' become popular in the media. Secretary Lin, you are in charge of propaganda, so it depends on you gone."

"No problem!" Lin Jiayu was very refreshing.

Everyone thought the meeting would be over soon, but Gao Tianpeng continued on the same topic:

"It is of course a good thing that each large-scale project can be launched. This is also the general trend. But at this time, we should keep a clear head. Indeed, in the past few years, the economy of our province has not improved much. We owe Debts of the common people. The following says that if you don’t do it, there will be problems. If you do it, you will have problems; If there is a problem, you must dismantle your own platform... Indeed, those who are incapable will not have accidents, and those who are capable must go out of their way. This seems to be an objective law. I don't believe it. If you can do it, you must have accidents? We Can’t we break this rule? Indeed, our team is very clean. This is a consistent evaluation from top to bottom, but cleanliness is by no means another name for ability. Once the top ten projects are launched and conform to the hearts of the people, our ability will also be displayed. Come out, and we still keep our integrity, isn't that great?"

The secretary of the female Disciplinary Committee who was present immediately answered the question: "Secretary Gao, before the project starts, we should seriously deal with some major economic cases and punish some corrupt officials, shall we?"

"Well said!" Gao Tianpeng admired the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection for his quick response, "In the past, it seemed to be an ironclad rule that a few cadres had to be laid down for a project. This time, we have to break the rule." Okay. Let’s deal with a few of them first, so as to warn others—this is what I meant when I said that we should keep a clear head. This time, we must keep our cadre team from being corrupted, and sound the alarm first!”

The secretary of the Female Disciplinary Committee nodded again and again: "Secretary Gao is right on the point."

"Okay, the meeting is over." Gao Tianpeng announced.

Here, Yin Jun has asked the driver to drive the car to the internal parking lot of Cuihu Hotel.

The internal parking lot can be opened from an underground tunnel to the side of the hotel through an entrance half a mile away. In this way, people inside do not need to go up hundreds of steps to the lobby, nor do they need to go down hundreds of steps to board their cars.This is naturally to take care of the old comrades in the province.

Externally, it is impossible to enter the hotel directly without going through the steps.

This may be the main purpose when the hotel was first built: there is a difference between inside and outside.

But a big red carpet can give guests a sense of honor and eliminate the fatigue of climbing the steps.

Here, Yin Jun happened to see Gao Tianpeng going to the inner parking lot, Gao Tianpeng stopped suddenly, and ordered:
"Let's drive the car down. I'll take a few more steps and exercise."

Yin Jun hurried away.

Along the red carpet from top to bottom, countless projection lamps are installed, illuminating the entire red carpet dazzlingly.From top to bottom, every move seems to add a considerable amount of weight, making people extra stable.

Every time Gao Tianpeng goes down a few levels, he always raises his head and takes a look at the provincial capital city, which is already full of lights. If it is not developed, the provincial capital is not the same as it was 20 years ago. It is called "the city that never sleeps".Especially in the streets, the street lights are dotted together, like a string of gold chains, hanging on the chest of the city, which is particularly eye-catching.A large number of high-rise buildings are decorated with neon lights, like a giant ship on the sea of ​​lights, sailing with its head held high.The whole city is dynamic and full of vitality.

Once the top ten projects are launched, the situation of the whole province will change.

And one's own "inaction" is transformed into doing everything.

In the hotel on the hillside, the cool breeze blew away his neatly combed hair. He subconsciously shook the blown hair and puffed up his chest.

With a background in engineering, he is also quite strict in terms of clothing and hair styles. After all, he represents the image of a province, especially a big province that wants to improve... No, he will never Learning from my predecessor, I just want to be safe and sound, and I will retreat to the second line after "the time is up", thinking that I still have a higher ladder to go up...

He felt that his feet were on the big red carpet, which was very solid.

Before he knew it, the car had slid silently to the end of the big red carpet and was already waiting for him.

Yin Jun let him into the car, and got in from the other side.

"Going home? It's getting late." Yin Jun asked.

"No, turn around to the city overpass. It is said that the crowd reacted greatly, and the traffic was delayed..." Gao Tianpeng said.

"Go, Shangcheng West Overpass." Yin Jun told the driver.

After the car drove out of Cuiming Lake, Gao Tianpeng told Yin Jun: "You said it very well before the meeting. Just now, I have changed the top ten political achievements projects into the top ten popular projects."

"I didn't say anything!" Yin Jun looked very surprised, "However, the word 'people's heart' has been changed well, and the word is worth a thousand dollars. The newspaper is lively enough for a while!"

"Let those pens play with words and ink." Gao Tianpeng smiled, "We don't need to worry about it."

Yin Jun said: "It depends on how they perform!"

"Is there any problem?"

Yin Jun hurriedly said: "No, no."

"You, there is always a little Jiujiu in your heart, and you won't reveal the card to me until the time comes."

"Not this time."

"really?"

"really."

In the meantime, the car has arrived at Chengxi Interchange.
