life in the sky

The last meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee before the year, the main topic was to send warmth to the needy people.The provincial government formulated a plan based on the past situation, fully expecting it to be easily passed at this meeting, but unexpectedly, it was vetoed by Mu Guoxing.

"The warmth-giving activity plan formulated by the provincial government is generally good, but I think it is not strong enough. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. To help the poor, we should not only look at how many necessities are given to them at the end of the year. And how much money, but also to help them fundamentally solve the problem of poverty."

Wu Zhixue felt a burst of heat on her face, thinking that she had indeed overlooked this point, or whether Secretary Mu stood tall and looked far, this is a question of level.

"My opinion is that in order to fundamentally solve the poverty problem of this group of people, we must make our party committees and governments at all levels pay attention to it, give full play to the role of the grassroots, find out what is the reason for this group of people's poverty, and take appropriate measures. Only in this way can we solve this problem once and for all.”

Mu Guoxing took a sip of tea and said: "The power of role models is infinite. How about one of our eleven Standing Committee members take the lead first? Each person first helps one or a few poor households, and then mobilizes all cadres to give these Provide all-round help to the poor."

Mu Guoxing's proposal was unanimously approved by the Standing Committee. Jiangnan Province has such a large team of cadres, and the number of cadres above the department level is unknown. If these people can help the needy one-on-one, I am afraid that Jiangnan will not There are so many poor households in need of help.

Wu Zhixue also seems to have seen Mu Guoxing's real purpose. She thinks Mu Guoxing's method is very good. It not only helps the poor households get rid of poverty, but also can further strengthen the relationship between the cadres and the masses. If the poor people can get the help of these cadres Can they not thank the government for helping them out of poverty?As long as the poor households in Jiangnan Province are eliminated, the social order will be more stable, which is also in line with the spirit of the central government's instructions on building a harmonious society.A harmonious society cannot be achieved by just talking about it, but by stooping down and doing it seriously.

Near the end of the year, the provincial party committee and the provincial government compound are full of joy. According to the spirit of the provincial party committee's instructions, a pyramid-shaped distribution model has been implemented for the welfare of cadres and employees this year.The more grassroots cadres and workers, the more New Year's goods and year-end subsidies they get, which is unimaginable in other places.It is already a common practice that the bigger the official, the more he gets, and all the cadres take it for granted. Therefore, this practice this year really made some cadres and workers very uncomfortable.

The provincial party committee and the provincial government have done this, and the cities, counties, and districts below will naturally follow suit. This is the power of example.It can be seen from this that whether the work style of a local agency is good or bad, whether the relationship between cadres and the masses is harmonious, and whether the social atmosphere is positive, mainly depends on the main leaders of this place.As long as the main leaders can stand upright, they will not dare to engage in any unhealthy tendencies below.

Two days before the Spring Festival, the warmth-sending activities in Jiangnan Province reached a peak.Mu Guoxing and cadres at or above the provincial level came to the homes of their help targets. They not only sent life comfort items and money to these needy people, but also chatted with them cordially and learned about these families. What are the causes of poverty and what are the problems they most need to solve now.This is much better than in previous years when the main leading cadres took a group of people to watch the show and give some condolences, and the TV station filmed it for a while and it was over.

As in previous years, Mu Guoxing still spent his [-]th and first day at the grassroots level. He had a warm and harmonious New Year’s Eve dinner with the employees in the shipping company, and the next day he went to the Children’s Welfare Institute to spend time with the children. After a happy Spring Festival, Mu Guoxing's approachable work style was praised by hundreds of millions of TV viewers.

In the courtyard of Yi Le Tang in the capital city, there was constant laughter and laughter. Mu Guoxing's five wives and children were gathering around the TV to watch Jiangnan Satellite TV. This has become an important activity for the family.

"Father spends the holidays with those children, and won't come back to accompany us." The youngest daughter Xinmeng pouted, envious of the children on TV.

Qi'er said: "What do you know? That's Dad's job, and he will come back to accompany us tomorrow! Do you understand that this is the first thing to do?"

Qi'er, who has already entered junior high school, now has the appearance of a little man, and his every move, word and deed is quite like his father's demeanor.

When Mu Guoxing rushed back to the capital alone and arrived at Mu's small courtyard, the place was already extremely lively, full of laughter and laughter.Hearing the sound of the car, Qi'er and Lin'er ran out with their three younger siblings.

"Welcome back Daddy."

Holding a daughter in one hand, he walked into the small courtyard, and Mu Guoxing's three brothers-in-law greeted him out together. Mu Guoxing was a little strange. In previous years, the three brothers-in-law didn't come back for the holidays. What happened this year?

What made Mu Guoxing even more strange was that his uncle and aunt also came back.It's been a year since he disappeared, Song Xuehai has obviously aged a lot, although his face is smooth, but he can't hide the tiredness in his eyes.This is the performance of a person who is extremely unhappy in work and life.

After saying hello to several elders, Mu Guoxing went up to the second floor and came to Elder Mu's study.

Seeing Mu Guoxing walk in, the old man gave a rare smile: "I'm back, running back and forth between the two places is enough for your busy work."

"This is work. How many people want to run without this opportunity?"

"Well, it's true. Everyone is here, right? Let's have dinner when we're all here!"

This year's Mu family's New Year's dinner is more lively than in previous years, especially Mu Guoxing's five children and three nephews, which added to the joyful atmosphere in the banquet hall. Several little guys called grandpa and grandpa, Someone called grandma and grandpa, and the two old people were so happy that they couldn't stop talking from ear to ear.

After dinner, Mu Guoxing and his three fathers were going to Mu Lao's study as usual. When they were going upstairs, Song Xuehai took a chance and suddenly said to Mu Guoxing, "Thank you, Guoxing."

At this moment, Song Xuehai's eyes were full of disappointment and expectation, and he couldn't tell what kind of taste it was. Mu Guoxing knew that Song Xuehai was superficially thanking Mu Guoxing for his help in promoting and mobilizing him, but in fact he still wanted to Attend the party tonight, but no one dares to invite him if the old man doesn't say anything.

Those who can participate in this family gathering tonight are all the direct descendants of the old Mu family, and the lowest rank among the five people is also a vice-level relative. Song Xuehai, a small relative at the vice-ministerial level, has no such qualifications anyway.

"Uncle, we are a family, so don't say such polite words, we will meet often in the capital in the future."

This year's family meeting was hosted by Mu Congjun. The old man just sat firmly on the grand master's chair with a smile on his face, listening to his son's speech.

"Last year, our family has done very well in all aspects, especially Guoxing's work in Jiangnan has been very effective, and it has entered the Politburo because of this. This is the first big thing for our family."

Mu Congjun talked eloquently, summarizing everyone's situation in the past year.He is now the No. [-] person in the central government, and this is a private meeting in his own home. If it is outside, it is the head of the central government giving instructions.

Half an hour later, when the family meeting was coming to an end, Elder Mu suddenly said, "Guoxing, go out and accompany your three brothers-in-law. These three people will still be helpful to you in the future."

In the spacious reception room, there were three groups chatting, Zhang Lanzhi and two sister-in-laws, Zhong Ling and three younger sisters, and the other group were Mu Guoxing's three brothers-in-law.To Mu Guoxing's surprise, his aunt and uncle left without knowing when.

"Are you three interested in going out for a walk together?"

Huang Guoqiang smiled: "If you wish, let's go to the private club run by Meng Haibo! He has said several times that he will definitely invite you to take a look when you come back."

"Oh? Meng Haibo has also become fashionable, so let's go and have a look!"

Hearing that his father was leaving, Mu Guoxing's three sons didn't say anything, but the two daughters were unwilling and insisted on going with Mu Guoxing.Zhong Ling also saw that Mu Guoxing had something to discuss with the three brothers-in-law, so he persuaded the two little princesses with good words, but they also put forward a condition that father must belong to them for the whole day tomorrow.

VIP Chapter [-] Private Club

At night in the festive capital, the lights are bright, the neon lights are flashing, and the music is bursting.The vehicles on the road are constantly flowing, the crowds are crowded, and the shopping malls on the roadside are still open for business, showing the prosperity of this international metropolis everywhere.Now that people's living standards have improved, the pursuit of spiritual enjoyment is the first priority, especially for young people. No one will stay at home at this time.

Half an hour later, the convoy came to the foot of an ancient city wall with towering old trees.Not far away is a courtyard house, which looks no different from other residential houses from a distance. Only a few high-end cars worth millions parked in the parking lot show that this place is different.

Huang Guoqiang took out his mobile phone and made a call. After a while, he saw the door opened, and Meng Haibo came out with a smile.

"Brother Mu is here, I am very honored! These two are..."

"Oh, this is Tang Fengshan, the husband of sister Mu Hong from my second uncle's family, and Hao Shaohua, the husband of sister Mu Jie from my third uncle's family. I just finished eating at the old man's place. Let's come and see this private affair you made. Clubhouse. If it wasn’t for Guoqiang, we wouldn’t have known you had set up such a private clubhouse again.”

"Brother Mu, you're joking!" Meng Haibo and Mu Guoxing shook hands, and led them towards the gate: "This was only done a few years ago, and I didn't tell you because it was almost the holidays, and I wanted to wait I have a surprise for you after you come back from the Spring Festival! But I didn’t expect that Guoqianggou couldn’t save two taels of sesame oil in its stomach, so I told you first, but this is also good, Brother Mu can come today, and it saves me to go to invite you Already!"

While talking, Meng Haibo couldn't stop looking at Tang Fengshan and Hao Shaohua, wanting to see what these two people are capable of, to be the son-in-law of the old Mu's family.Regarding the fact that Huang Guoqiang was Mu Guoxing's brother-in-law, Meng Haibo didn't feel that there was any incompatibility. The status of the family was based on that, and there were too many such well-matched political marriages in the capital.But who are these two people in front of them?I've never heard of any family in the capital who became in-laws with the old Mu's family again!

Entering the gate, there were two big men in black suits standing on one side. Judging from their uneven stances, Mu Guoxing could tell that they were all Lianjiazi.

Mu Guoxing stood at the gate and glanced at the courtyard. From a distance, there was nothing special about it. Unexpectedly, when he got closer, it turned out to be a different scene.

The two opposite gates are more than three meters wide and high, like a wall. The gate tower, threshold, door frame, door nails, door pillows, wiping heads, animal-faced door carvings, etc., as well as the door couplets on both sides, It can be said that there is nothing missing. It is conceivable that in ancient times, when officials walked out of this gate, the scene of shouting and hugging, "Where did you find such a big house? It must have spent a lot of money. money?"

"Hehe, this place used to be a research institute. Later, they built a new office building and moved out. This place has been idle for many years. It was Weihua who knew that this place was going to be transferred and told me, and it didn't cost much. That’s more than 7000 million yuan, plus decoration and so on, the total cost is less than [-] million yuan. The few of us have to go to those places every time we have a party. It’s such a place, as soon as Wei Hua said it, I rushed over, and I fell in love with it at first glance, and I bought it immediately without even telling them the price, it’s just that it’s cheaper than those old scholars.”

Meng Haibo said it very easily, as if he had taken advantage of it. It seems that this kid has made a lot of money over the years.No one would be willing to spend [-] million to set up such a private club without a net worth of tens of billions.

Mu Guoxing also knows that there are not many courtyard houses in the capital now. Years of demolition and relocation have greatly reduced the number. Now it is rare, but if there are few, there are still some left.A few years ago, the Beijing Municipal Government divided the courtyard houses in Sijiu City into several historical and cultural protection areas, which were preserved as cultural heritage.Of course, there are also some units, like the Yiletang where Mu Guoxing lives now, which are also well protected.These mansions are all the places where the princes and nobles of the former Qing Dynasty lived. They are surrounded by the Forbidden City. The location is very good. In this era, not to mention the ancient buildings on the ground, even the land is worth at least [-] million yuan. Meng Haibo is indeed It's a big deal.

These courtyards protected by the policy are generally not demolished unless there are extremely special circumstances. Now that this place has become Meng Haibo's property, even if someone wants to demolish it, he must have the courage.Urban construction requires the unified planning of the municipal government. Presumably no one has the guts to plan out the Meng family's property.There are generally three types of courtyards in the capital. The first type is an ordinary small courtyard, which includes a main house facing south, and is surrounded by east and west wing rooms to form such a courtyard. It is relatively simple and is the most common courtyard. It belongs to ordinary people living.Another type is the middle courtyard, separated by courtyard walls.The curved moon gate connects the front and back yards.The number of main rooms and wing rooms in a middle courtyard is twice as large as that in a small courtyard in the Qing Dynasty.They are generally lived in by wealthy families.

The last type is some large and large courtyards. There are many courtyards in this type of courtyard, including front yard, backyard, east yard, west yard, main yard, side yard, cross yard, study yard, enclosure yard, horse house, and one entrance. , Second Entry, Third Entry, etc., there are Chaoshou verandahs in the courtyard connecting various places, covering a very large area, most of which are seen in TV dramas now.

Accompanied by Meng Haibo, Mu Guoxing walked into the gate, facing a very exquisite hanging flower door, exquisite in shape, quite gorgeous, there is also a door leaf at the eaves column behind the hanging flower door, called the screen door, also known as the middle door , this door is usually closed, and people enter through the left and right corridors in front of the door. It will be opened only when there are distinguished guests or the emperor's imperial edict is issued. The big open middle door mentioned in ancient books refers to this door.It can be seen that Meng Haibo spent a lot of money on the decoration of this courtyard. The cornice of the gate is painted blue-green, the wood is red, and the round tile is painted blue, white and black like a halo pattern of orbs. Fang Motou has a gold swastika or rhombus pattern on a blue background.In the center of the front eaves, there are brocade patterns, flowers, bogus, etc., and the inverted hanging lotus capitals on both sides are even more colorfully painted according to the carved patterns. This place is comparable to the Yiletang where Mu Guoxing lived.After passing through the exquisite hanging flower door and the gatehouse, this is the front yard. It is a very ordinary small courtyard with a main room, east and west wing rooms, and a hanging flower door on the east leading directly to the middle courtyard. After entering the middle courtyard, it is a large area. The garden, although it was in the middle of winter, I don't know what method Meng Haibo used, this small garden turned out to be full of greenery and flowers, under the radiance of colored lights, the whole small courtyard was full of festive atmosphere.

There were also two burly men in black suits standing in front of the gate, and there was also a security gate similar to that of an airport, Mu Guoxing smiled when he saw this: "Brother Meng, you are really capable of making troubles, and even put on such a set of security measures! "

Meng Haibo smiled and said nothing: "Brother Mu, please be safe and don't be impatient. Let's go back. This place is only prepared for those wealthy landowners. The further back, there will be no holes in the sky!"

The entire small courtyard was brightly lit, and there was an elegant piano sound coming from the main room. On a cold day, several beautiful waitresses in cheongsams were busy coming in and out. less!"

"Nowadays there is a boom in clubs in Beijing. Those rich people don't like to go to hotel clubs when they talk about things. I just leaked a little word with a few friends in the business field, and there are dozens of people scrambling to come in. , In the end, I just picked a dozen or so people who were good at speaking, and the others are not qualified to come."

"Oh, so awesome! You don't want people to send you money, it must not be cheap to get a card!"

"It costs 500 million yuan to apply for a card in this yard. To be honest, the money collected here is enough for me to buy a house."
