life in the sky

Mu Guoxing held the hand of No. [-] with both hands: "The chief has a lot of opportunities every day. It is my honor to be received by you and have dinner with you!"

No. [-] said with a smile: "I don't dare to say that there are so many things to do every day, but the reality is that I can't finish my work. I invite you to come over for a light meal today. Let's chat casually, don't be restrained."

The meals were brought up one after another. Chief No. [-] greeted Mu Guoxing and sat down at the small dining table together. The staff brought hot towels.Mu Guoxing noticed that Chief No. [-] had applied a hot towel to his forehead for a while, and then took it off to wipe his face and hands.Mu Guoxing knows that this is a movement that people only have when they are extremely tired.

There were four simple dishes and one soup on the dinner table. The only good dish was the sweet and sour carp. The other three dishes were also some vegetarian dishes.Don't say that these dishes are with the No. [-] chief, even some ordinary civil servants below will never do this when entertaining guests.

Chief No. [-] pointed to a bottle of Moutai and a bottle of special wine on the table, and said with a smile: "Old Mu sent me the Baihua honey wine you brewed by yourself, and the effect is not bad. Thanks to this two years The wine is on top. I can only drink this one glass, you drink all the two bottles of wine, I have heard about your drinking capacity for a long time."

Speaking of eating, in fact, Chief No. [-] wants to use the meal time to meet Mu Guoxing. The significance of this meal investigation is still more. Both bottles of wine were finished.

During the meeting, Chief No. [-] raised some questions to Mu Guoxing from time to time, which included questions about the national economy and people's livelihood, as well as political theory. It can be said that the questions raised by Chief No. [-] were all-encompassing.Mu Guoxing made a report according to the draft that had been typed long ago. When Chief No. [-] put down his chopsticks, Mu Guoxing swallowed his last mouthful of rice.

After receiving the tea brought by the staff, Chief No. [-] said: "I was going to ask you to go to Ziguang Pavilion to make another report, but we really can't make time. The central government trusts you, so go back and have a good time." Come on, hurry up and finish the trial of this case, and if you have time, you can pay attention to the situation in the southwest region."

On the way home, Mu Guoxing repeatedly thought about his meeting with Chief No. [-], and he didn't let go of his mind until he felt that he had said nothing wrong.He is now focusing on the last sentence of Chief No. [-], paying attention to the situation in the southwest region. What does this mean?

Is No. [-] going to put himself in a certain province in the Southwest?When Mu Guoxing got in touch with the questions that Chief No. [-] asked him, he became more convinced of his own judgment.

Since it was already mentioned on the [-]st, hurry up and complete the trial of the case, it means that the leadership team of a certain province in the southwest has to be adjusted, and it has reached the point where it must be adjusted.As for the specific province, Mu Guoxing decided to visit Zhu Pengfeng, executive deputy director of the Organization Department, and maybe he could get some useful information from him.

In Mr. Mu's study room, several people were chatting, and Mu Guoxing's father and his third uncle were also present. After they finished listening to Mu Guoxing's narration, the old man first showed a slight smile.

"It seems number one has made a decision."

Mu Congjun nodded, "No. [-] also told me the day before yesterday!"

Mu Congwen smiled and said, "It's kind of like rewarding meritorious deeds."

Although what these three people said was thoughtless and incoherent, Mu Guoxing heard that what the three of them said meant one thing, which was the next arrangement for Mu Guoxing.

Analyzing the words of the three of them together, it means that Mu Guoxing performed very well in the anti-smuggling work in Anjiang this time, withstood the test, and the central government is very satisfied with his work.Now the leadership team of a certain province in the southwest is about to adjust again. Under the suggestion of No. [-], No. [-] decided to put Mu Guoxing there.

The old man smiled and said to Mu Guoxing: "Guoxing, it's almost there now. If you in Anjiang achieve the three-year development goal by the end of the year, you have to be prepared to take on greater responsibilities."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "Grandpa, am I too young, if you add more burdens to me, you won't be afraid of crushing me?"

Mu Congwen said with a smile: "You are a great horse of our Mu family, how can you grow better if you don't add burdens to you? Okay, others will be very happy when they hear about the promotion, my nephew It’s time to evade. A higher position means greater responsibility, and you must be fully prepared in this regard.”

"Your third uncle is right. Positions and responsibilities are directly proportional. You have also seen it at No. [-]. He is so busy that he uses up the time for eating. Our generation is here to lay a good job for you. A foundation, I hope to see our country become truly strong in the hands of your generation."

Old Mu nodded, and said slowly: "Guoxing, what your father and your third uncle said are both right. Our old Mu family has been a loyal family since ancient times, so that our country can be strong and not bullied by outsiders. , is our goal. Counting from me to your generation, it is already the third generation. The bloodshed and sacrifice of the three generations for nearly a hundred years is for the prosperity of the country and the better life of the people. I believe in this goal. With the efforts of your generation, it will definitely come true.”

"Grandfather, father, and third uncle please rest assured that I will definitely work hard for this goal and strive to realize our ideal as soon as possible. But I still can't figure out how the central government will arrange my work in the next step."

Neither Mu Congjun nor Mu Congjun said a word, and they both looked at Mr. Mu. On this occasion, only the old man is qualified to answer Mu Guoxing's question. Even Mu Congjun, the current head of the No. [-] Central Committee, You can't express your opinion casually in front of the old man.

"Hehe, are you in a hurry? We can't tell you yet. If you open the lid before the time is up, it will be cooked as raw rice."

Mu Guoxing scratched his head in embarrassment, and smiled awkwardly.His appearance made his three elders laugh together.

"This child..." Elder Mu looked at his beloved grandson with loving eyes, and whispered.

VIP Chapter 540 Five Southwest Provinces

Zhu Pengfeng, the executive vice-minister of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, who finally had a break, received a call from Mu Guoxing early in the morning. When he heard that Mu Guoxing was coming to visit him, Minister Zhu smiled: "National Xing, you come to our house once a year with Zhong Ling during the Spring Festival, and now there are still a few months before the Spring Festival, you will not be so busy that you will forget the date."

"Hehe, Minister Zhu, I accept your criticism humbly. It is precisely because I am afraid of disturbing you that I have less time to visit you, so I want to use this opportunity to make amends."

"I heard that Chief No. [-] invited you to his house for dinner?"

Mu Guoxing's head got bigger, and it took less than a day. The news that the No. [-] Chief had invited him to dinner unexpectedly reached Zhu Pengfeng. It seemed that even the No. [-] Chief couldn't keep some things secret.

Zhu Pengfeng's home is in the No. 140 living area of ​​the state ministries and commissions, which is often called the minister's building.The Executive Deputy Minister of the Organization Department like Zhu Pengfeng who enjoys ministerial-level treatment, if he is put in the province, he will be an imposing frontier official, and his residence must also be a villa building. Mu Guoxing made a rough calculation. A house with five bedrooms and two living rooms has a total area of ​​[-] square meters.

Since it was the weekend, Zhu Pengfeng's wife also went to his daughter's house, and Zhu Pengfeng was the only one left in the house. The little nanny made tea for the two of them, and then hid in the kitchen to do her own business.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me today?"

Mu Guoxing smiled without saying a word, took out two boxes of delicately packaged Ye Lai Xiang tea from his bag, and took out an ancient inkstone, and said with a smile: "This tea is a local product of Shunhai Province. Bring it for you to taste. Don’t you usually like calligraphy, so I bought this ancient inkstone for you, and you can see if it’s suitable for you.”

Zhu Pengfeng smiled: "You are here to bribe me! I dare not accept other people's things, but I accept yours with a smile."

The two drank tea and chatted for a while before Mu Guoxing asked, "Minister Zhu, are there any changes to be made in the five southwestern provinces?"

Mu Guoxing also knew that talking around corners was of no use in front of such a sophisticated person as Zhu Pengfeng.Anyway, the relationship between the two families is good, and Zhu Pengfeng was single-handedly promoted by Mr. Mu. At this time, it would be better to ask directly.

Zhu Pengfeng did not directly answer Mu Guoxing's question, but glanced at Mu Guoxing, smiled meaningfully and said, "The actions of the central government in the past two days are not small, and your Anjiang anti-smuggling task force found out Although the shock was not small, it also provided a lot of convenience for the central government's next personnel arrangement."

Mu Guoxing understood what Zhu Pengfeng meant by these words. Like the arrangement of senior officials at the provincial level, the central government has to weigh the interests of all parties. Sometimes, for an important position, several political families will often compete for it. Let the center feel very embarrassed.Now that so many positions have been vacated, the central government must have more room for maneuver in terms of personnel adjustments this time. This is why Chief No. [-] agreed to Mu Guoxing's appointment in a southwestern province.

Zhu Pengfeng smiled, and continued: "The current situation is that the five southwestern provinces are all economically underdeveloped provinces. In recent years, the central government has put a lot of effort into the economic construction of those provinces, but there has been little effect. This is only one aspect of the reason, and another important reason is that the leading groups of some provinces are very disunity, which has affected the normal work of the province. The third reason is that the drug epidemic in some provinces has been unacceptable To effectively contain it, the situation in Hongzhou Province is the most serious.

Mu Guoxing's heart moved, thinking, is the central government going to let him go to Hongzhou Province?Although Mu Guoxing has never been to that place, he also has some understanding of the situation of the leadership team there from some documents.The leadership team of Hongzhou Province has been like a revolving lantern in the past few years, changing back and forth. In ten years, there have been three provincial party committee secretaries and four provincial governors.

The current Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Hongzhou Province is Chen Junshan. Mu Guoxing also met him at the last national organization work conference held by the Central Committee. Although he did not talk about it in depth, he still gave Mu Guoxing a good impression. He is a very kind person. little old man.

As for Governor Wei Haozheng and Mu Guoxing, he didn't know him. He only knew that he was close to the Sima family, and I heard that he was good at economics.

Seeing that Mu Guoxing hadn't spoken, Zhu Pengfeng said again: "You came to ask me today about the situation in the five southwestern provinces. Is it true that the higher authorities intend to put you there? If so, you should pay attention. The water in that place is very deep."

Mu Guoxing nodded: "Now I don't know where I'm going to go, but the No. [-] chief has said that I need to learn more about the situation in Southwest China for a while. It's inconvenient to ask others, so think twice. I have only come to ask you!"

Zhu Pengfeng nodded: "The central government is also very aware of the situation in Hongzhou Province. It has made up its mind several times to adjust the leadership team there, but due to various reasons, it has been delayed. I guess the central government just took advantage of this opportunity There will definitely be some action, and you are also very likely to go to Hongzhou Province to serve as the governor. Because that place is one of the least developed provinces, and it is also the province with the most serious drug trafficking and smuggling, and the leadership team is also the least Unity, this is a tough bone."

Next, Zhu Pengfeng gave a detailed introduction to Mu Guoxing about the situation of the leadership team in Hongzhou Province. After listening to it, Mu Guoxing felt that the problem was serious.The situation in the Standing Committee of Hongzhou Province is much more complicated than that of the Standing Committee of Mu Guoxing when he first arrived in Shunhai Province. Mu Guoxing did not expect that there would be such a complicated situation in such a place where the young and the old are poor. It is not an exaggeration to describe political struggles with the phrase that there are many factions.

Mu Guoxing couldn't figure it out. Under normal circumstances, a wealthy province or an influential region is where these political families compete. Why are there so many people eyeing such a backward region?

Zhu Pengfeng seemed to have seen what Mu Guoxing meant, and said slowly: "The poorer the place, the easier it is to make political achievements!"

This sentence reminded Mu Guoxing that political achievements come from poverty, and clean government comes from wealth.The purpose of these political families competing for that place is mainly to let their people make achievements in order to improve their family's prestige, accumulate political capital, and prepare for pushing this person to a higher level in the future.

The reason why the face of poverty has not changed over the years is mainly due to factional struggles. If the Standing Committee cannot be united, how can they lead the people of the province to seek development wholeheartedly?It seems that whether a leadership team is united or not is indeed a very important issue. The people above are fighting to the death for their own political goals, and the people there suffer.

Mu Guoxing thought for a while and asked, "Apart from Hongzhou Province, where else is the situation more serious?"

Zhu Pengfeng smiled: "Another place is Guangnan Province. The situation in that place is no better than Hongzhou Province. From the perspective of economic aggregate, population status and geographical area, the two provinces are similar. Let's take this The two provinces are called a pair of suffering brothers."

Zhu Pengfeng took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Compared with Hongzhou Province, Guangnan Province has one advantage, that is, resource advantages, but they have not made good use of them, and the phenomenon of random harvesting and logging has not been effectively curbed. This Over the past few years, it has become more and more serious, the local government has basically adopted a laissez-faire attitude, the pollution is also very serious, and the environment has been seriously damaged.”

"How is the leadership of Quang Nam Province?"

"The situation of the leadership there is a little bit better than that of Hongzhou Province. Qin Jinling, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, is also an old comrade, but due to physical reasons, he has been in the capital for treatment for a long time. Governor Zhou Ziping is a lesbian. A relatively powerful figure, now she is alone in charge of the province's work."

Before Mu Guoxing could speak, Zhu Pengfeng said again: "No. [-] will let you know more about the situation in Southwest China. I think it is possible to put you in one of these two provinces. According to my opinion, I still hope you It would be better to go to Quang Nam Province."

Guess everyone, which province will Mu Guoxing go to?
