Gao Zhiwei, Director of the Provincial Water Conservancy Department, led the provincial working group and came to Xianghan City on the tenth day when Zhao Qingming, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, inspected Liuhe Village.In the meeting room of the Municipal Party Committee, on behalf of the Provincial Water Conservancy Department, he first expressed his deep apology to Xianghan City, especially to the affected Liuhe Village and the deputy county magistrate Jin Ping who died for this.His tone was deep and his manner was sincere.At the same time, the leading comrades of the Xianghan Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government were notified. After research by the party group of the provincial department and the approval of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Wang Pengcheng, the former director of the Liuhe Reservoir Management Bureau, was removed from his post and transferred to the judicial authority for malfeasance. The economic problems are also being investigated and dealt with.After hearing the news, the municipal party secretary Gu Yishun, mayor Liu Rong, advisor Li Zimin, Liuhe county party secretary Gao Benzheng, Liuhe village party branch secretary Liu Tiehan and others who attended the meeting all agreed that such a large economic loss and political impact would be caused. Wang Pengcheng also did it on his own.

Director Gao then talked about the issue of compensation. Considering that the Provincial Water Conservancy Department has always been an advanced unit in the province, there has never been a problem in these years, but this time there was such a big problem, which caused such a huge loss to the lives and properties of the people. , the provincial government felt grief from top to bottom, and determined to deal with the aftermath well, so that the people affected by the disaster could be truly satisfied.It was decided to use a part of special funds to rebuild Liuhe Village. Whether to build a new building in a different place or rebuild it on the original site, whether to build a one-story house or a building, and how to plan the overall plan, all should be decided and organized by the Xianghan Municipal People's Government. , provide funds, and ensure that the funds are in place at one time without leaving a gap.

After listening to Director Gao’s introduction, Gu Yishun, secretary of the municipal party committee, spoke first. He first affirmed that the party group of the provincial department would not discount the decision made by the party secretary of the provincial party committee. It was a bad thing, but the bad thing really turned into a good thing. The villagers of Liuhe Village were able to live in new houses at one time and get rid of poverty completely. It was the deputy county magistrate Jinping who bought it with his life.He asked the municipal government to regard the reconstruction of Liuhe Village as a major event, concentrate its efforts on operations, let the farmers live in new houses before the freeze, and build the new Liuhe Village.The secretary of the municipal party committee has finished speaking in principle, and it's the mayor's turn to make specific arrangements.While listening to Director Gao's briefing and Gu Yishun's speech, Liu Rong thought quickly, who should do this job?I am the leader, so I can't catch it myself. The deputy mayor in charge of agriculture has not returned from studying at the provincial party school, and the deputy mayor in charge of urban construction has a heavy task of urban construction. On Li Zimin beside him.Since Li Zimin is capable, why not assign this job to him?There will be many contradictions in building a new village. Let him rush forward. If he does well, the results are his own. If he does not do well, the responsibility is his. At this moment, it is better for him to take care of things.Thinking of this, he spoke.

"Director Gao and Secretary Gu have both expressed good opinions. As a government, we will resolutely act in accordance with Secretary Gu's instructions and do this matter well. The government's affairs are specific, and sometimes the more specific the better. In order to do things in a practical way, according to the instructions of the secretary, the government decided to send a special person to do this work. This is the government consultant, Comrade Li Zimin, the former mayor, who will take charge of this work. This is because Comrade Zimin I asked about Liuhe Village before, and went to the provincial department and the reservoir to understand the situation better. As you all know, the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture is studying at the provincial party school, and the deputy mayor in charge of urban construction is working very hard now. Comrade Zimin is familiar with the business, has high prestige and strong ability, and will definitely be able to do this well.”

As soon as Liu Rong finished speaking, Gu Yishun took it over, "Mayor Liu, the work of the people is not too heavy. Let him handle the affairs of the chemical plant, and now he has also given him the affairs of the machinery factory. Give him another task of rebuilding Liuhe Village, can he do it? Huh?"

Li Zimin also said: "I really have enough things on hand, if I don't do it well, I'm afraid I will miss things."

Liu Rong said: "You have done a good job in these few things. I don't feel at ease if others do them. Otherwise, you should take over these things first. After the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture comes back from studying, let him take over. Now is the key." Time, only you are the most suitable."

Li Zimin didn't know Liu Rong's real thoughts, and thought that since the mayor had assigned him this way, it would be no good to say anything in front of the secretary of the municipal party committee and the leaders of the provincial department, so he nodded and agreed.Seeing that Li Zimin agreed, Gu Yishun couldn't say anything else, but he said to Liu Rong and Gao Benzheng, secretary of the Liuhe County Party Committee: "Since you let Comrade Zimin take charge of this work, the county Party committee must fully support it, not because he is a consultant. As far as negligence is concerned, the land, planning and other departments in the city must follow his command and arrangements. Mayor Liu must convey this opinion truthfully. Individuals must be held accountable.”

The meeting just broke up, and then a special group was formed to study the specific problems in the implementation.Unified planning is no longer a problem. After the planning of the city and county planning departments and the collective discussion and approval of the villagers, a piece of land will be set aside for the new Liuhe Village downstream of the reservoir, more than ten miles away from the original village site.The design department has also come up with three sets of design plans for the approval of villagers and leaders at all levels. Finally, according to factors such as construction cost and geographical conditions, the "Beijing Flat" style was selected, which is very beautiful and practical.The most critical issue in the next step is the problem of team selection in unified construction.

Such a project with guaranteed funds has naturally become a hot spot for the construction team. All the engineering teams have to work on this project for a while. Li Zimin is going to invite bids, but at this time a "dark horse" has come out to do this. Engineering, he is Jiang Dashan.

Jiang Dashan first found Liu Rong.After entering the room, he sat down on the sofa unceremoniously, "Mayor Liu, I am here to ask for the Liuhe Village project. You know the situation of my team without telling me. What I want to say now is that the government owes me, for Machinery factory, I lost more than 100 million yuan, you can sell it if you want, and take it back if you don’t want to sell it, I will obey all these, I, Jiang Dashan, have been in Xianghan City for so many years, and I have been in this state today, I support you every year I work for the government, but right now, your government has to support me, give me this project, and make up for my losses, otherwise, I, Jiang Dashan, will never swallow this breath."

Liu Rong politely poured Jiang Dashan a cup of tea, "Manager Jiang, don't get angry. I personally have no opinion on this project. In the process of buying and selling the machinery factory, you really listened to the government's words and let you If you buy it, you buy it, if you give it back, it will be refunded, and it also caused a certain amount of economic loss. The government knows it, but I personally have no say in this matter. Whoever does this project, the secretary of the municipal party committee must agree. You know, in our city , the real leader is the secretary of the municipal party committee, not me, the mayor. In many respects, I, the mayor, have nothing to say. You understand that my current situation is very difficult. You have to know. In addition, The comrades who still need to be in charge agree that this project has already been decided by the Municipal Party Committee, and Comrade Li Zimin is asked to take charge of it. He is an adviser to the government and an old mayor. He has a lot of weight in his words. If the two of them disagree, what can I do? "

"You should have a way. You are the mayor and you are a legal person. Let me ask you first. Do you agree to let me do it?" Through his eyes, he stared fixedly at Liu Rong's face. "You also know how I, Jiang Dashan, made this guy look like a dog. It made me anxious. I'm not afraid of anything."

"I said, I agree with you to do it. But what I said may not count!" Liu Rong argued.

"I don't care about any internal conflicts between you, you will punish me, I will punish you, anyway, I want to do this project. You just need to agree." After Jiang Dashan finished speaking, he took out a working miniature tape recorder from his pocket and turned it off. The recording key said, "I've already recorded what you said just now, and I'll find those two people again."

When Jiang Dashan found Gu Yishun, secretary of the municipal party committee, his attitude was completely different from that of Liu Rong.He respectfully knocked on the door of Gu Yishun's office, and introduced himself with a smile on his face: "Secretary Gu, I am Jiang Dashan, the general manager of Dashan Company in Xianghan City. I have something to report to you. I don't know. Do you have time?"

Gu Yishun looked at Jiang Dashan, who seemed to be gentle and gentle. He had been working in Xianghan City for more than two years. He had heard about this person from different angles, and described him as a mafia figure in Xianghan City. Dare to act boldly, saying that there is nothing he can't do in Xianghan City, people who are unfair, and it is said that he has relations with some figures in the province and the central government, and his funds have reached hundreds of millions. "Then please sit down!" Gu Yishun asked him to sit down politely.

Jiang Dashan sat on a chair opposite Gu Yishun's desk. "Secretary Gu, you have been working as a secretary in our Xianghan City for more than two years, and I have not come to report to you. This is my fault. I know you must be very busy. It is a shame to come to a city to be the leader. The young cadres sent by the Provincial Party Committee to exercise can only do their jobs well, not badly. The pressure is very high. Deputy Secretary Yang of the Provincial Party Committee and Deputy Minister Wei of the Central Committee have mentioned you to me, saying that you and these two leaders You are a good friend, let me come to you if I have something to do, I know you are busy with work, and I have not reported to you directly."

Gu Yishun thought to himself, does he really know Deputy Secretary Yang and Deputy Minister Wei, or is he here to scare me?He looked at Jiang Dashan and asked casually, "When did you meet Deputy Secretary Yang and Deputy Minister Wei?"

Jiang Dashan said: "Two months ago, I was eating at Vice Minister Wei's house in Beijing. I met Secretary Yang. He also went there that day. Vice Minister Wei's wife, Aunt Wang, specially cooked dishes for us. When drinking , Both leaders mentioned you, saying that you went to Beijing for a meeting last year, drank at Vice Minister Wei’s house, and got drunk after only one cup of Moutai.”

Gu Yishun had no choice but to nod repeatedly, "I really can't drink, I can't drink." He said in his heart, thinking that I was drunk after drinking a cup of Moutai, these few people really knew, and he himself came back from Beijing. Haven't spoken to anyone.It seems that this Jiang Dashan does have some connections with the higher authorities, otherwise he would not know these details.

Jiang Dashan said: "Secretary Gu, there are some things that I have not reported to you. I am a native of Xianghan City. I started from scratch and now have assets of nearly 100 million yuan. I am engaged in various industries such as construction, chemical industry, transportation, and catering. Contribute to the city, donate money and sponsorship, I will not do good things. I am a representative of the Municipal People's Congress and a member of the Standing Committee of the District CPPCC. In Xianghan, it can be said that I am familiar with all aspects and give me face. For more than a year, although I haven't asked you to report on my work, I fully support your work below. There are some contradictions and problems. I help the government work below. Let's talk about buying a machinery factory. Selling a business, no one dared to buy it. The government mobilized me to take the lead in buying it. I bought it in response to the government’s call, but the government was afraid that the workers would make trouble, so they asked me to return it. For the sake of stability, I had to agree to return it, so I returned it without saying a word. I lost more than [-] million for this. I think, as a citizen, I should support the work of the government. But the government should also support our private sector. For the sake of the enterprise, we are also a part of the national economy. I came to you this time to report my thoughts. According to my strength, conditions and the losses owed to me by the government, I want to win the project of building a new Liuhe Village. Doing good things for the common people must also create certain economic benefits.”

After listening to Jiang Dashan's words, Gu Yishun understood that he came to ask for a project.He thought for a while and said, "The project is about the government. You can go to the mayor Liu Rong and the consultant Li Zimin."

"Secretary Gu, you are the leader of Xianghan City. Whether such a large project is managed by the government or not, you should be clear and understand. I am here to report to you, and I will definitely look for the government. But I I want you to get to know me, Jiang Dashan, and support my work and career, and I will never forget you." Jiang Dashan said word by word without leaving his eyes on Gu Yishun's face.

Gu Yishun thought for a while, and then said, "Well, I know what you reported, and you still need to discuss it with the government. If they ask for my opinion, I will make a proper statement."

"That's good, that's good. Thank you very much, Secretary Gu. I'll definitely pay another visit when I have the chance." Jiang Dashan left the office of the secretary of the municipal party committee with a happy face and a grateful mouth.

For several months, Hu Min has been in a bad mood. Ever since Li Zimin was elected mayor, the two have completely different opinions on the next work arrangement.In the end, Hu Min had no choice but to follow Li Zimin's advice and become a government consultant. However, this consultant is sometimes busier than the mayor, whether it is a joint venture project of a general chemical plant or a worker in a machinery factory. Petitioning, or the lack of water in Liuhe Village, he is involved in everything and has to take care of everything. Hu Min doesn't understand this very much, and the contradiction between the two personalities has begun to be exposed. The depression in Min's heart made her more and more unwilling to tell Li Zimin that he got up early and returned late, and sometimes treated his house as an inn, and Hu Min was really dissatisfied in his heart.More than a month ago, another incident happened in Hu Min's love life.When Hu Min was in college, he fell in love with a good-looking and handsome male classmate at work. But at this time, another female classmate in the class also fell in love with this male classmate. This female classmate had a good family background. , the father has power, and the family is rich. One year before graduation, this male classmate finally chose this female classmate and broke up with Hu Min.In a fit of rage, Hu Min left the provincial capital when he was assigned for graduation, and came to Xianghan City alone, and never found a partner.The male classmate and the female classmate got married shortly after graduation, and later they both went to Australia.The matter passed like this, but more than a month ago, the male classmate wrote a letter to Hu Min from Australia, telling her that his wife died in a car accident a year ago, and he was alone in Australia. As the chief surgeon in a big hospital, life is very depressing. There are many people who introduce him, and he doesn't like any of them. He always thinks about her when she was in college, and hopes that she can come to Australia to develop. He handles all the procedures.This letter was like a stone, causing waves in Hu Min's peaceful mind.The letter just received on the third day, and then I received another letter from him, saying that he is alone now, has no children, and his living conditions are quite good. He has a small building and a car, and only she is missing, and he mailed it to her for processing. I hope she fills out the relevant forms for going abroad and sends them back quickly, so that she can hurry up and go through the formalities.Faced with this sudden emotional turmoil, Hu Min really didn't know what to do.Let's go, I feel a little sorry for Li Zimin, let's stay, and knowing that living like this is very distressing, she is hesitating.

Since Li Zimin stepped down from the mayor, Hu Min's position in the central hospital has gradually changed, and people no longer revolve around her as before, and the attitude of the hospital leaders towards her has become normal.During this period, Hu Min only had a good relationship with Chief Meng of the Public Funding Department, and the two of them almost talked to each other, but Hu Min still didn't tell her about the letter from an Australian classmate.When she was about to leave work at noon, Section Chief Meng found her, "Xiao Min, come with me, someone invites you to dinner at noon."

Hu Min shook his head, "No. It's not interesting."

"Let's go, you are specially invited, you are a very respectable person." Chief Meng came to pull her while talking.

"What do you want me to do? I don't know them. I want to go home and rest." Hu Min was still evasive.

"Let's go. I met you if you didn't know each other. Look at you, you are frowning all day long, and you are getting thinner and older. Isn't this intentional to make things difficult for yourself!" Section Chief Meng kept pulling and saying. Hu Min was dragged out of the hospital.A brand new Lincoln car was parked outside the door. The two of them got into the car, started the car, and left the Central Hospital.

The car didn't drive towards the city center, but turned west and got on the highway.Hu Min asked: "Where are you going for a meal?"

Chief Meng said: "What do you care about so much? We can eat wherever we go. Anyway, we don't need to pay for it."

The speed of the car was very fast, and it entered the provincial capital in an hour, and stopped in front of a very luxurious hotel.The welcoming lady led the two of them to a private room on the second floor, where a man who looked very respectable and wore glasses greeted them.He stepped forward and introduced himself: "I am Jiang Dashan from Xianghan City, and I am here to welcome the two ladies."

Hearing Jiang Dashan's name, Hu Min took a serious look at this man who looked like a scholar. He could never have imagined that the man in front of him was the legendary leader of the underworld.His behavior and speech are completely different from the underworld characters in TV dramas.

Section Chief Meng hurriedly said from the side: "This is Section Chief Hu Min of our hospital, who is also my good friend. Today, Manager Jiang is treating us to a treat. He has pulled us from Xianghan City to the provincial capital so far. There must be something delicious." .”

Jiang Dashan nodded and said, "This is a first-class restaurant in the provincial capital. There is everything you want to eat. You can open your mouth. If you can invite you here, it will also give me Jiang Dashan a little face. I, Jiang Dashan, thank you."

The three of them sat down, and Section Chief Meng said, "I know what Xiao Min likes to eat, so I'll order it first!" After speaking, he stood up, opened the door and left.Only Jiang Dashan and Hu Min were left in the room.Hu Min knew that there must be something wrong with Jiang Dashan looking for her.Sure enough, as soon as Chief Meng left, Jiang Dashan spoke immediately. "Mr. Hu, I see you as a smart and sensible woman, so I don't want to go around in circles with you. I also like to be straightforward and talk to my face. I invite you to come out today. I have something to ask you help."

"Please help me? How can I help? Who is going to have gynecological surgery?" Hu Min asked deliberately.
