Provincial Party Secretary

Chapter 30
Ju Lingran woke up around 6:7 the next morning.After stretching his muscles and bones in the room, Ju Zhimin waited for him to wash up, then made him a cup of tea and drank it slowly. Around [-]:[-], old Ju's comrades-in-arms and subordinates came to treat him to breakfast.Sitting in the dining room, everyone chattered about arranging play schedules for the old man.Tour the Temple of Heaven, visit the Summer Palace, visit the Forbidden City, climb the Tiananmen Gate, pay respects to Chairman Mao's remains, and visit the Great Wall and the Ming Tombs...

"Old Ju, where are we going to play today?"

"Today, I don't want to play anywhere, please take me to the superior discipline inspection committee by car."

"Go to the superior discipline inspection committee, what are you doing there?"

"Go and run something with a friend."

After breakfast, the car of the old comrade-in-arms took Ju Lingran to the gate of the superior discipline inspection committee.Ju Lingran led his grandson to the guard room with his head held high, and said to the sentinel, "Little brother, please inform me that Ju Lingran, the former Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Province F, has an urgent matter to see the leader of the Disciplinary Committee at the higher level."

"You always wait a moment."

The comrades in the guard room asked Ju Lingran to sit down, and they called to report.After a while, two staff members came out and enthusiastically invited Ju Lingran in.In the reception room, a leader of the Commission for Discipline Inspection met him.Ju Lingran presented Ren Liang's report materials and appeal materials to the leader of the Disciplinary Committee, and he talked about it in one breath.

"Old Ju, you came at the right time." The leader of the Disciplinary Committee said, "There have been several reports of problems in Province F over the years. At that time, we had ordered the Provincial Disciplinary Committee to investigate. But no problem was found, and the report has not stopped since then. The higher-level discipline committee has always attached great importance to this problem and is looking for a breakthrough to conduct a thorough investigation. Mr. Ju, tell me what the crux of the problem is."

"I said, the crux of the matter lies in Comrade Gao Tianpeng."

"Him? Tell me."

"Gao Tianpeng is a person I know quite well. He has a strong desire for power, he likes to make great achievements, he doesn't listen to other people's opinions, and has a serious patriarchal style. Therefore, people around him dare to use his authority to do things wrong. As far as I know, Gao Tianpeng himself has a lot of money in terms of economy and style. There will be no problem in the world. But he is afraid that the crimes of the people around him and his family will be exposed, which will affect his status, so he uses his power to cover up the cover. I can’t control the situation myself.”

"It makes sense. Thank you, Mr. Ju, you have given us valuable information, and we will take it seriously."

"I was well prepared to go to Beijing this time. If the higher-level discipline inspection committee didn't give me a clear answer for a day, I just stayed in Beijing and didn't go back."

"Haha, no wonder people say..."

"It is said that Ju is always a stubborn old man, isn't he?" Ju Lingran smiled, which also made everyone present laugh.

"Okay, old Ju." The leader of the discipline inspection committee held Ju Lingran's hand and said, "We will make a decision as quickly as possible."

"I'm relieved now."

After Ju Lingran filed a complaint, he peacefully reunited with his old friends, played and had a great time.It wasn't until the morning of the fourth day that the higher-level Disciplinary Committee replied that it had quickly set up a task force and decided to conduct a special investigation on Province F.On this day, another piece of good news reached his ears—at 03:30 in the afternoon, the superior leader was going to meet him in Zhongnanhai.

Ju Lingran sat in the hotel waiting with great excitement.At 02:30 in the afternoon, the superiors came and drove him into Zhongnanhai.A leading comrade warmly received him and had a cordial conversation with him for half an hour.The superior leader said that he reported the situation to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the Commission for Discipline Inspection had reported it to the relevant leaders.At the same time, he also learned about Gao Tianpeng's situation.Ju Lingran answered truthfully and impartially.Finally, the superior asked Lin Jiayu how he was?Ju Lingran said that Lin Jiayu was of good character, young, honest and upright, strong in political thinking, economical, smart, and pioneering spirit. He was a rare good cadre.The disadvantage is that it is a bit more bookish and less flexible, but this can be improved through experience.The leader said that the higher authorities have decided to let him serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the F Provincial Party Committee and the Deputy Governor. How about in charge of the province's economic work?Ju Lao immediately clapped his hands in favor: the central government is wise!In my opinion, let him be the secretary of the provincial party committee!The leader was amused by his childish behavior.The meeting also ended in a happy atmosphere.Ju Lingran had the bottom line in his mind, so he couldn't stay any longer, and set off for Linzhou the next day...

Gao Tianpeng returned to Linzhou from Beijing almost at the same time as Ju Lingran, but he came back by plane.

At this moment, he is sitting in the office, replaying the scene of the conversation with the superior, repeatedly chewing on the meaning of every sentence of the superior.

When Ju Lingran filed a complaint in Beijing, Gao Tianpeng also stayed in Beijing.An enlarged meeting was held above, and all provincial and municipal Party committee secretaries attended the meeting, and of course Gao Tianpeng also participated.

On the day when the enlarged meeting ended, a superior leader and a leader of the organization department talked to Gao Tianpeng.

The leader first asked about the economic construction of F province.Gao Tianpeng reported according to the tone and ideas of that "People's Daily" report.After listening to his report, he seemed to see some approval from the leader's eyes.His heart became more at ease.He had heard earlier that his superiors were going to reactivate Lin Jiayu, and it seemed really good.The superior leader brought up this topic to himself because he wanted to get his own bottom line, because the leader in front of him should also know about the rectification of the "Lin Gang".

The leader stopped talking about the work in Province F, and turned the conversation to him and asked him, "How is Comrade Lin Jiayu from your province?"

"Him?" Gao Tianpeng was caught off guard, why did the leaders mention Lin Jiayu for no reason?He remembered the past festivals between himself and Lin Jiayu, so the central government still wants to punish him?For him, this is a good opportunity to get rid of a potential dissident.Chen Yuanbin told him many times that Ren Liang, who sued him by name, was probably Lin Jiayu as the "black background", but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. Lin Jiayu is now just an ordinary researcher with no power in his hands. , He hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, so he can't be punished by his superiors.Could it be that the superior wants to re-appoint him?Yes, there is a possibility, the superiors have always valued him very much, and his relationship with Ju Lingran is very strong, who knows if the old man recommended him again in front of the superiors?So, he became cautious, had an idea, and replied tactfully, "This comrade is very outstanding professionally, and has made great contributions to the development of F province."

"What about other aspects?" The leader of the organization department interjected, "Can you make a comprehensive evaluation of him?"

"The comrade is loyal to the party, clean and honest, and has good working ability. There are shortcomings, of course. The superiors also know it. For example, there are still shortcomings in uniting comrades. In addition, there are sometimes some localism tendencies. But generally speaking Still a good comrade."

"The superior wants to arrange for him to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Deputy Governor of F, and to be in charge of the economic work of the whole province. I don't know if it will work?" The leader of the Organization Department suddenly asked in a consulting tone.

"Of course." Gao Tianpeng suddenly realized that he was glad that he didn't slip up just now, and he immediately added, "The superior's arrangement can be called a good person. Comrade Lin Jiayu has work experience in rural areas, cities, and universities, and is a famous scholar." , let him focus on economics, it can be regarded as finding the right person, experts to rule the province, okay. I am worried about the lack of an assistant who understands economics and has strong working ability. If Comrade Lin Jiayu is asked to do economic work, I will It's easy."

"You can't relax." The superior leader said, "Comrade Lin Jiayu is a good comrade with both ability and political integrity, there is no doubt about it. But his biggest shortcoming is that he is too bookish, and he has little flexibility and flexibility in his work. It is as indispensable as flexibility. You have to take good care of him in this regard. The growth of an excellent cadre requires a good environment. As for him not very good at uniting comrades? We have to look at this issue dialectically. Sometimes, He may have only paid attention to principles and neglected flexibility, which has caused harm to comrades; sometimes it may be because some comrades do not unite with him. Comrade Gao Tianpeng, if you think there is nothing wrong, the above will appoint you later. "

"Okay, I agree. I have another idea. When Comrade Lin Jiayu adapts to work, I will resign. It is very suitable for him to play my role. I am old and want to retire and live a peaceful life for a few years gone."

"You're an old comrade, so you can't do nothing. To support a new comrade, you have to give him a ride." The superior leader changed the subject again, "Comrade Gao Tianpeng, I heard that your secretary caused a lot of trouble for you. , I wonder if there is such a thing?"

"Oh..." Gao Tianpeng's heart skipped a beat. Why did the matter of Chen Yuanbin get involved?He calmed down a little, and said, "He is too young and energetic, and he is not stable in doing things. He has no hair on his mouth, so he can't do things firmly. I often beat him, and he is much better recently."

"Comrade Gao Tianpeng, comrades who are senior leaders, we must take good care of the people around us. If the people around us lose supervision and act recklessly, the harm will be no less than our own recklessness."

Having said that, the conversation ends.

Gao Tianpeng who walked out of Zhongnanhai was extremely depressed.The entire conversation revealed two pieces of information. One was that Lin Jiayu's old enemy had the possibility of succeeding him.Propose him to be the executive vice governor, in charge of the economic work of the province.In the next election, Governor Huang is getting old, and his retirement is certain. He, Gao Tianpeng, will either be promoted or retire.Then, both the secretary and the governor are vacant, and both need to be filled.It is impossible for the two main leaders to be transferred from other places. One who is familiar with the situation must be selected from the local cadres. This is a practice of cadre allocation for many years.Counting with fingers, among the current deputy leaders of the provincial party committee and government, there is no one who is better than Lin Jiayu.If Lin Jiayu can be favored by his superiors and make a comeback, he must have to pick one of the two responsibilities.What Gao Tianpeng was afraid of was that if he couldn't go up, he would retreat, and Lin Jiayu was in control, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous with himself, but those guys like Chen Yuanbin were about to become his targets.When Chen Yuanbin and his gang are finished, his son Gao Yunyan will also be implicated. So, will Gao Tianpeng still have a good life?It’s been 30 years in Hedong and 40 years in Hexi. Fortunately, I have grasped it, and did not let Chen Yuanbin’s “backstage” in the Ren Liang case touch Lin Jiayu, otherwise, the consequences would be serious.

Gao Tianpeng looked up through the tinted glass of the office window, and found that the sun was setting in the west, and the sky in the west was blood-colored.He felt inexplicably sad, and felt that the sun setting in the west seemed to symbolize the waning days of his political life, and the scenery could no longer be seen.The second message revealed in the conversation of the superior leader is that he has reached the peak, and then went downhill after the peak.He got a taste of affection from the leader's sentence "Help him on the horse and send him off for a ride".If the comrades at the higher level are talking about getting on the horse and taking a ride, then there is a high possibility that Gao Tianpeng will go up, because leading the way is at the front, then he may be going up; what about sending him a ride?The person who sees off walks behind the rider's buttocks, doesn't it mean to retreat.A seemingly unintentional remark from the leader is a hint. The question is whether you are enlightened or not.What he realized today is that the hope of going up may not be great.But if he wants to keep his power after losing his power, he must immediately adjust his deployment. Improving his relationship with Lin Jiayu and rebuilding his self-image are the top priorities.By the way, there is another important piece of information, that is, the matter of Chen Yuanbin and his like has already attracted the attention of the superiors.My biggest heart disease is here.At that time, Cao Cao was holding the emperor to order the princes, but Chen Yuanbin staged a modern serial farce of holding the prince to order the emperor, and then holding the emperor to order the princes.If decades of painstaking efforts are ruined in the hands of a secretary, it's not worth it!

Gao Tianpeng called Chen Yuanbin in.

"Boss, what are your orders?"

Chen Yuanbin still looked respectful.But when Gao Tianpeng saw him like this today, he was not as comfortable as he was in the past, but rather disgusted.

"Did Ren Liang let go?"

"Let go." Chen Yuanbin paused and said, "But it was caught again."

"Bastard, who caught him in?" Gao Tianpeng was furious, "Do you think the cell is a toilet door, and you can enter and exit at any time?"

"As soon as he came out, he bit all over again."

"Whoever tells you to mess around, it's fine to bite to death!"

"Secretary, what do you mean..."

"Immediately release him unconditionally, rehabilitate him, restore his reputation, and apologize to him. Hurry up, without delay."

"This..." Chen Yuanbin was a little dazed.

"Touch it, how many heads do you have?" Gao Tianpeng taught him a lesson, "You, the 'Second Secretary', have a great reputation, and even the leaders above know about it, so they asked me about it. To tell you the truth, if you continue to make trouble , something happened, I went to jail, you all pulled out and shot! If you don’t go, what are you doing standing here?”

Chen Yuanbin was so frightened that he shitted his ass.Gao Tianpeng was also preparing to go home from get off work.He was so tired that he wanted to go back and take a good rest.

When Gao Tianpeng returned home, He Yun had already returned home.To his surprise, Gao Yunyan, who didn't go home so easily, also came back, and was sitting in the living room on the second floor, whispering something to his mother.Seeing Gao Tianpeng enter the door, he stood up with a smile on his face and took the briefcase from him.Although Gao Tianpeng was in a bad mood and was very angry when he saw Gao Yunyan, he didn't want to bring the unpleasant atmosphere into the house, so he also sat down with a smile, took the special teacup made of Longjing that Gao Yunyan brought him, and asked with a smile Yun: "What are you guys talking about? It seems to be a very happy conversation. Why didn't I stop talking when I walked in."

"Dad, Mom is going to introduce me to a girlfriend again." Gao Yunyan said with a playful smile in order to please his father, "I said, Mom, the people on the boat are not in a hurry, what are the people on the shore anxious about?"

"You're wrong. Your mother and I are also on the boat. Yunyan, we are in our thirties, and it's time to start a family. With a family, you have responsibilities, and you will be more stable in your behavior."

"Okay, since Dad also said so, I will marry a wife and come back to make you happy."

"If we can do this, Mom will be ten years younger overnight."

"Then I will marry a few more, isn't Mom not old?"

"You're making an outrageous joke again." Gao Tianpeng snorted softly, "What have you been up to these days?"

"Business, making money. What else can I do besides making money?" Gao Yunyan grinned again, "Hey, Dad, I heard that Lin Jiayu suggested building a joint-stock system to build the Sanjiangkou Reservoir. What's your opinion on this?"

"I can't just talk about things that haven't been settled." Gao Tianpeng said, "The reservoir will have to be built sooner or later. If the reservoir isn't built, Beiling will not be able to live. But I warn you, stop messing around with it. "

"What is messing around? I want to ask about the situation, and I plan to invest as a shareholder."

"This investment is worthwhile. Once the reservoir is built, the benefits of power generation, water supply, and tourism should be very good. I can guarantee that investors will get rich returns in the future. However, even if you make more money, you can't do it! "

"Why? I can't do what others can do?"

"Because you are Gao Tianpeng's son!"

"What's the matter with the son of the provincial party secretary? I'm a businessman, not your successor. As long as I make money, I don't ask where it came from."

"You bastard! You make money, and if I die, you won't be able to live."

For some reason, Gao Tianpeng suddenly became angry again and lost his temper.Seeing his father getting angry, Gao Yunyan hurriedly withdrew out.He Yun complained on the sidelines.

"What's so fierce? Who provoked you? You are your upright official, and your son is his businessman. Well water does not interfere with river water, and I haven't asked you to approve or sign a note. Who are you afraid of?"

"What am I afraid of?" Gao Tianpeng stood up abruptly, pointed at He Yun's nose and shouted, "I'm afraid that if I step down, they will drag you out and shoot you one by one!"

"The sky won't fall, don't worry." Seeing Gao Tianpeng getting so angry, He Yun softened immediately, "Did you hear something?"

"I was suppressed a few times before, and next time something happens, I can't do anything, so let's do it myself."

"Is something wrong?"

"Do you know?" Gao Tianpeng said sadly, "It's a foregone conclusion that I will retreat. The good momentum has been messed up like this. The leaders above are all asking about Chen Yuanbin's affairs. You may not know it yet, Lin Jiayu I'm going to be the executive vice-governor. Next time, he will either replace me or be the governor. I'm afraid that I'll lose my wife and lose my army..."

After Gao Tianpeng finished speaking, he entered the study with a long sigh, leaving He Yun standing there in a daze...

When Gao Tianpeng entered the study, he was so irritable that he couldn't sit still, and he couldn't calm down even if he wanted to read a book. He Yun told him to eat, and he lost his temper again.Just then, the phone rang.He hurriedly picked up the phone, ah, it was Yaxin calling him.

"Dad, you said you came to Beijing to see us, why did you leave without saying goodbye? Bingbing said that grandpa is so arrogant!"

"Ya Xin, tell Bingbing that it's not that grandpa is arrogant, but that grandpa is too big to control her. Everything can be decided by herself. You tell her that if she wants to live freely, let her grow up like Father and mother should go to study, don't be like grandpa to be an official."

"Dad, is your job not going well?" Yaxin said worriedly.

"Actually, it's nothing. There are tens of millions of people in a province. There are many jobs and many annoying things."

"Dad, you must pay attention to your health. Both Jin Bi and I have a wish. We only want to have a healthy, respectable and amiable father, and we don't want to have a big leader who is always unhappy. Dad, my biggest worry It's still Yunyan, a businessman has to make money, but a gentleman should make money in a proper way. Once a person has greed, he is easily used as a weapon. Dad, Jin and I will get salary bonuses and some manuscript fees and tuition fees, life is going well, we are really satisfied, and we have never felt short of money to spend. Dad, I don’t know what to say.”
