Life is so wonderful. Wei Hansheng is a representative figure of the grassroots faction, but he is active in the Yangtze River Delta region. If he were in the northwest and capital, even in the southwest and northeast, Wei Hansheng would have taken a step closer and stepped onto a higher level to experience more. Because of the vast sky, success is determined by failure. Cadres who grew up here are well aware of the deeper multi-faceted nature of officialdom. They are restricted and unable to grow quickly, and will always be forcibly suppressed at certain levels for a period of time.
Although Mu Jun's meeting with Wei Hansheng only lasted for more than three hours, it was better than countless meetings with any official. Before that, Mu Jun had always had a certain rejection of the Xi family, even though he had During the trip to the capital, it was difficult to truly let go, especially for this relative who had left a deep impression on him. It was difficult to face the past calmly even if he did not hate him. After that meeting, it cannot be said that Wei Hansheng influenced Mu Jun, but that his mode of thinking opened another window for Mu Jun, allowing him to see a brand new world and be able to use another perspective and approach. Only by looking at the problem can we have the meeting today.
"Second uncle." A close relative of flesh and blood, a relationship that you cannot erase. When facing Xi Jingdi, one of the second-generation leaders of the Xi family, Mu Jun did not show too much emotion, just as he would not hold a grudge. The memory of childhood is the same, very calm and indifferent.
With a smile on his face, he nodded towards Mu Jun: "Xiao Jun, you have lost weight."
Mu Jun scratched his head. This concern was sincere and he could feel it: "Second uncle, this is Rong Jingkai, secretary of the Ningfeng Municipal Party Committee."
With a smile on his face, Rong Jingkai bent his body slightly and stretched out his hands to hand them over: "Hello, Minister Xi."
Xi Jingdi did not have a high profile and shook hands with Rong Jingkai in a very easy-going manner. His strength was neither deep nor shallow, nor was it superficial in official circles. It was not just randomness between friends. As the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce, he could have been condescending to Song Guoping and Shu Yongjin in Duanyun Province, but he always maintained sufficient humility.
"Secretary Rong, please come all the way."
"Wherever, it should be."
"Secretary Rong, Xiaojun, how are the preparations for our party this time?" What he said after getting into the unassuming car and being polite. Rong Jingkai's hanging heart suddenly calmed down, and Mu Jun felt a touch of warmth. His family was still facing his family.
Talking directly about the ultimate goal this time, without hiding anything, it gave Rong Jingkai a reassurance that Mu Jun had a status in the Xi family, and made Mu Jun feel the sincerity of family affection. When it comes to family ties, he cynically puts family ties first, clearly conveying a sense of confidence. What Rong Jingkai heard was that the Xi family supported Mu Jun unconditionally, and what Mu Jun heard was that the Xi family had truly made amends.
Mu Jun, who was sitting in the co-pilot, nodded to Rong Jingkai. At this time, he highlighted his leadership. Don't make the leader dissatisfied because of a little arrogance. Everything he did before was useless and a waste of time and energy. The gain outweighs the loss.
Rong Jingkai received Mu Jun¡¯s signal and thought about the wording in his mind before speaking. Leaders usually don't say the wrong thing. They go through it in their head first, and then speak it again at a slow and rhythmic speed when it comes to their mouth. When you watch them speak unscripted, it always gives people a hesitant and hesitant look. The feeling is not that the order is unclear, but that I am cautious about what I say.
"Minister Xi. This time "The Same Song" comes to Ningfeng, we are fully prepared. The stage set up in the open air is on the newly built square leading to Jiangdong Industrial Technology Development Zone in the city. All preliminary preparations have been made. It will be completed ahead of schedule and is just waiting for the members of the column team to arrive" Rong Jingkai had done enough homework before coming. Xi Jingdi was the top leader guest invited this time. It was created by the central government especially for Jiangdong District as a division-level unit. The commendation given for brilliant achievements, good economic development is on the one hand, and the development of people's livelihood construction can be carried out simultaneously. A month ago, CCTV¡¯s Focus Interview reported the story of an old worker. The story did not have many ups and downs. It was just that during the entire secret visit, people across the country were able to see the incredible newness of a new industrial technology development zone. face. He actually cared about the workers and provided a true story of rescuing an old worker who contracted lung cancer due to workplace pollution. It moved hundreds of millions of viewers and also made the inland and barren areas of the economically developed provinces always lag behind due to uneven development. This has caused an earth-shaking image change. Who said that all red flowers must belong to economically developed coastal cities? Our small prefecture-level cities can also do it.
News media reports are always the trendsetter. Ninfeng City, Duanyun Province came into the central government's sight, and investigation teams began to come down to observe. Then, through Wen Renyu's relationship, Mu Jun brought the already extremely influential news to the public just after it was launched. The large-scale charity column "The Same Song" attracted Ningbo at the end of the year.Ningfeng City has added fuel to the fire and made Ningfeng City even more popular. It is likely to be promoted as a model in various provinces with serious gaps between rich and poor in the country.
In an era where entertainment is paramount, it has long been common for politics and entertainment to share the stage. The Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Land and Resources formed an observation and guidance group, headed by Vice Minister of Commerce Xi Jingdi, who attended some activities. , including the recording of "The Same Song".
It is a shame to act alone in a private capacity in advance. An ordinary cadre would never do this. Today, the Xi family is very confident in promoting news and publicity in the media. People dare not say that they are absolute in this area. The controllers are also the same. The younger generation of the Xi family is very hostile to Mu Jun and cannot complete the marriage between the baby and Wen Renyu. The older generation does not care very much. As long as it is their own child, they can complete the marriage of the two elders. It doesn¡¯t matter who the wish is, it would be even more ideal if the children could be satisfied themselves. Now that the new era has arrived, it¡¯s better not to be too forced in marriage.
The incident between Mu Jun and Wen Renyu has been rumored in the capital for a long time. Many people who know Wen Renyu's temperament don't believe it, especially the young people. They think that it was brought to Wen Renyu by two families. The pressure left her with no choice but to remain silent. The young masters inside and outside the Forty-Nine City were eyeing Mu Jun. The ruthless attack on the Bai family in Shanghai in the past few months was one of the reasons why Mu Jun had not had much trouble until now. First, those who are not good enough dare not take action, those who are barely good enough are afraid of capsizing in the sewer and do not want to be the vanguard, and those who maintain their own identity will not take action in advance.
The resulting vacuum period. Mu Juncai spent his time in Ningfeng City peacefully. After everyone knew his final intention, they had mixed joys and sorrows, and mixed pros and cons. What he lacked was courage, but what he had in abundance was courage, which was not reconciled internally and externally.
Xi Jingdi¡¯s arrival has many purposes. Duanyun Province¡¯s status in the central government is getting higher and higher, and the Xi family does not have a big advantage here. It can even be said that there has been only one Liu Dong developing in Yunji City, and he has not yet reached the sub-provincial level, so there is not much room for maneuver; Rong Jingkai showed his intention to surrender at this time, and Mu Jun also threw out the opportunity at the right time. Xi Jingdi received an olive branch. As the third person in the Xi family besides the old man and the eldest brother, Xi Jingdi paid a visit in person to Rong Jingkai. Then there was the political show that Xi Jingdi needed. The development of Ningfeng City was actually able to It touches the heart of the country, and the upper management has high expectations for it. He can gain enough political performance capital by participating in it.
With various purposes, the land of ridicule came. How could he not be overjoyed when he saw Rong Jingkai for the first time, and his status towards Mu Jun also increased several levels in his heart.
"Haha, I'm just here to go through the motions. You'll have to do the specific things below. Secretary Rong doesn't need to be so nervous." Xi Jingdi's first impression of Rong Jingkai was very accurate. He will not be a pioneering and enterprising official. He has confidence in Mu Jun's overall judgment and his daily self-cultivation. He didn't show the slightest change in emotion, and endured his temper and continued to observe. Sure enough, when the vehicle arrived at its destination, he had some understanding of Rong Jingkai, who did not hide his overall quality at all. It can be said that this kind of official It cannot be praised by the people with a thumbs up, but it will never be scolded by pointing the nose. After decades of chanting slogans such as "crossing the river by feeling for the stones", steady officials have been valued again. They only need to be able to control the overall situation. There is no need for gorgeous curves in political performance. If you speak a clear word, Rong Jingkai is born. Even if he is the leader, as long as he has the people in his heart not to go astray, his ability is secondary. There is a government leader and a group of lower-level colleagues. All he needs to do is control the entire team and control the overall situation of the region. Regions that are based on stability cannot lack such leading cadres.
That night, Xi Jingdi had a meal with Rong Jingkai alone. After Mu Jun left first because he had something to do, he chatted in Xi Jingdi's room for an hour and a half. After that, Rong Jingkai did not stay in Yunji City. He knew clearly that Minister Xi still had some problems in Yunji City. People want to see, for example, Liu Dong. For example, Guo Kaifu.
Early the next morning, Mu Jun had breakfast with Xi Jingdi, and then disappeared again. He only left Han Mi and a car behind. Avoiding any taboos, he spent two consecutive days visiting relatives and friends, and contacting those who could achieve a certain direction in Duanyun Province.
Before the "Same Song" coordinating department arrived in Ningfeng City and was officially broadcast the next night on December 29, 2000, Mu Jun accompanied Xi Jingdi to the most important place of the trip and visited the most important person in the trip. Important person.
A feast after Christmas and before New Year's Day in the West. The lineup of performances is unprecedented. It is a normal invitation. Several domestic first-line singers are paired with a few artists from the film and television industry, and then some second-tier artists to form a party. Just those few A top-tier singer is enough to excite people who have never seen a live performance. Young people have already found ways to get live tickets, and it doesn't matter if they can't see the stage clearly from a distance., just to feel the atmosphere at the scene.
Members of the joint observation and guidance group also arrived in Yunji City yesterday evening and had dinner accompanied by Governor Shu Yongjin. The leader of the group, Xi Jingdi, formally showed his identity to attend.
Snowflakes are falling, the scorching sun drives away the chill of the snow, the air is fresh and refreshing when walking on the streets in the early morning, and the steaming aroma wafts from the breakfast stalls. In the competition between hygiene and convenience, habits, taste, etc., more people choose the latter. Rise up and defeat the former.
Xi Jingdi and Mu Jun stopped in front of a breakfast stall. They were sitting in a temporary tent in a cold weather of minus ten degrees. The tables and chairs were not clean. They were eating something hot from a street stall. People who are used to it really can't resist it.
There are several people sitting at the tables around you who get up early for work. They eat in a hurry and leave quickly. Maybe you need to eat more slowly. It's not surprising that there are three or four groups of people around you. They won't notice. Today's breakfast The 'neighbor' is the deputy minister of commerce who is above the temple and the executive deputy mayor of Jiangdong District in Ningfeng City.
Mu Jun is no stranger to the Provincial Party Committee Courtyard, and he also knows a little about the residence of Provincial Party Committee Secretary Song Guoping, which is in the Provincial Party Committee Courtyard of Duanyun Province. Song Guoping has lived here for nearly twenty years. From deputy to full-time position, he has always lived in that small building.
"Secretary Song, this is the tea that the old man asked me to bring you. He grew it in his spare time. He said that Xiao Song likes to tinker with this stuff, so he asked me to bring it to you."
When Xi Jingdi saw Song Guoping, he was stretching his arms and legs to exercise in the yard. The provincial party secretary in sportswear looked very energetic and did not look like a cadre who was about to retire from his leadership position.
Mu Jun never thought of it. Xi Jingdi adhered to the etiquette of a junior when he met Song Guoping. This veteran secretary of the provincial party committee really lived up to his reputation.
"You're welcome, Minister Xi. I've prepared some return gifts for the old man here. You can take them back with you when the time comes. Back then, I often followed the regiment leader to the old man's place to enjoy the autumn breeze. I could always pick up something from the old man's place. It's been so many years. , I never had a chance, Minister Xi must convey my feelings to the old man." Song Guoping accepted the gift calmly. The straightforward words did not suit his identity. It was not until Xi Jingdi left the Song family that Mu Jun's mind came around. His face suddenly changed and he looked at Xi Jingdi uncertainly.
A hint of surprise flashed across Xi Jingdi's eyes. He didn't expect Mu Jun's reaction to be so fast. He couldn't wait to confirm whether Mu Jun really guessed it or not: "What did you see?"
The feelings are not deep. The level of trust is sufficient. Father and son are brothers in battle. After all, they are blood relatives. The estrangement many years ago cannot be completely eliminated. The strangeness of many years will not disappear for a while, and it will not delay the trust between the two people that can have in-depth conversations. An innate trust, trust from flesh and blood.
Mu Jun immediately thought of something and said: "Secretary Song, do you want to be reused?"
¡°Continue talking¡± he said mockingly without nodding or denying.
Mu Jun¡¯s heart beat faster, and he knew he had guessed correctly: ¡°At the latest by the end of next year, or maybe earlier, Secretary Song will be promoted to a deputy position in the central government. After the change of office, he will lead the younger generation for four years.¡±
Xi Jingdi was really touched this time, my sister¡¯s child. My nephew has a much better future than the other boys at home. It is not easy to be able to tell so much with just a few words in a short conversation of less than half an hour.
"Please tell me more carefully." He stood still in a mocking tone. Han Mi drove the car over from a distance and lost interest in continuing his slow morning exercise. He was now more interested in what kind of situation Mu Jun could achieve.
"We had breakfast outside, and the way you called Secretary Song and the degree of closeness in your conversation, we should have gone to Secretary Song's house for dinner. We were very close but kept a distance. After giving gifts, we had to insist on returning gifts, and only briefly. After more than 20 minutes of conversation in the courtyard, Secretary Song rejected us, but he did not reject our ideas. Secretary Song mentioned that he followed the group leader, thinking that this person who was close to my grandfather at the same level had similar political ideas to my grandfather. Court, even though so many years have passed, Secretary Song is still following in the footsteps of the old leader, and this time as a balance, he will continue to exert his remaining heat. He still maintains a proud posture facing the wind, and will not lean on anyone. This is his pride."
"Where did you predict?" He took a deep breath and hit it all. What about the end? That would be no ordinary person, but a person of great wisdom and almost a demon.
Mu Jun shook his head: "It's cloudy and foggy, there are too many variables."
If Mu Jun directly mentioned the positions of the two deputy positions that everyone had guessed, he wouldn't have reacted sarcastically. This is always the case with the old and the new. There is nothing to guess. There are too many variables in what Mu Jun said. When Song Guoping actually came to Beijing, he was alone and alone.??What did he rely on to reject the Xi family? Why did he still want Qingliu to the end? The art of compromise exists at all levels, even in countries that have followed the imperial system. One person is no longer dominant.
The future is the most unpredictable.
"Xiao Jun, I used to think that being young and energetic was not a good thing. Now look at it, it may be an innovation to change personality. The set road is too narrow and too limited. Only now do I realize that all the way to this day, we are People really don't see things as deeply as your father. Young people, don't be afraid of making mistakes, and don't be afraid of making mistakes. You should always walk, run, and jump on your own. Do your best, and we will be your solid backing." He said mockingly. Completely reversing what he said more than ten years ago, with a hint of apology in his words, the Vice Minister of Commerce, who has become the most important ministerial-level official in this country, can speak frankly in front of his juniors. I really want to apologize for my mistakes.
"Second uncle, we are a family."
When you are a family, don¡¯t talk about two families.
¡¡¡¡¡¡
"Regional Chief, Wulongshan Hot Spring Resort, I heard that you helped build it. This time I am going to play, and you will treat me to dinner." Mu, who returned to Jiangdong District to take charge of the work after separation from Xi Jingdi Jun, received a call from the big star Lu Beibei on the way. After the last incident with Granny Ma, Lu Beibei was busy with crew activities and left early, but he did not forget to get Mu Jun¡¯s phone number from Ning Ning. He called back and forth to express his gratitude. The more we do, the more familiar we become.
"It seems like you should be the one to invite me to dinner, right?" The identity of an artist is destined to be a glamorous group of people that ordinary people are willing to get close to and feel proud of. Saying that a certain xxx big bowl is my friend is sometimes better than saying which Forbes It will be more honorable for a rich man to meet you.
