life in the sky

If you wait a little longer, the effect will be different. After waiting for a long time, no one speaks. The meeting will of course end. Is it possible that a Premier of the State Council, who is always busy, is here all day to accompany these idle old cadres? drink tea?

"Since everyone doesn't talk, let me say a few more words." Mu Guoxing's voice echoed over the venue: "Today's symposium was very good. The old comrades put forward many suggestions for the work of the State Council. xìn's opinion also raised some urgent issues that need to be resolved. This meeting was very successful, and it also showed that the vast majority of veteran comrades can truly put the cause of the party and the people in the public mind. The first lofty ideological consciousness."

The venue was extremely quiet. Everyone wanted to hear how the Prime Minister would refute Mr. Hou's speech. Everyone also understood that Mu Guoxing's speech actually represented the attitude of the central leadership.Although the status of these veteran cadres is very high, since they have retired, they must obey the leadership of the current leadership.It is also very important for them to be able to grasp the spirit of the central government's instructions in a timely manner. In their position, not only can they not express their positions indiscriminately, they cannot say wrong words. ""Mr. Gang Hou said that to maintain the stability of the cadre team, to be stable and united, this is what the central government has repeatedly asked everyone to do.However, what is the purpose of unity must be clarified. The stability of the cadre team is in line with the requirements of the current situation. We also need to look at the purpose of maintaining the stability of the cadre team. "

Putting forward two whys in a row means that Mu Guoxing raised the issues discussed in today's symposium to a higher level. The veteran cadres present also saw that Mu Guoxing is not only a good hand in economics, but also good at A very shrewd statesman summing up and improving.

"The purpose of unity is for good work, and maintaining the stability of the cadre team is to ensure a good guarantee for our work. But, how to achieve these two? I don't think it can be done only by fighting with each other. In the struggle It is our party's fine style to seek unity and make progress through unity. Unity without principles is undesirable and very wrong."

Mu Guoxing talked eloquently, and spent 15 minutes explaining the importance of unity and the necessity of maintaining the stability of the cadre team.Although he didn't mention Jiangbei Province's tofu dregs project in his speech, nor did he mention that the central government sent a joint investigation team to Jiangbei to investigate this matter, and he didn't refute Hou Laogang's speech, but all the veteran cadres could hear that Mu Guo The meaning of Xing's speech is to criticize some people who hold wrong ideas. As for who these people are, everyone is very clear, because there is a good example here.

Some old cadres who were not very familiar with Mu Guoxing before, also nodded secretly after hearing Mu Guoxing's speech.In terms of age, Mu Guoxing is their junior, but when it comes to political struggle experience and artistic level of speech, these veteran cadres are also inferior.

Seeing that Mr. Hou was about to speak again, Mu Guoxing gave Wu Hanyu a wink, and Wu Hanyu said understandingly: "Today's meeting is here due to time constraints. In the future, I hope that many old comrades can offer suggestions to the central government. , as long as it can be done out of public interest and always put the interests of the party and the people first, the central government welcomes any opinions put forward. The meeting will be adjourned!"

As the meeting was dismissed, the venue became active. Mu Guoxing walked to the door of the meeting room and shook hands with these veteran cadres to say goodbye.

More than a dozen veteran cadres had different expressions when shaking hands with Mu Guoxing. Mr. Hou calmly said four words: "Very good, very good!" Just let everyone think about it.But one thing is for sure, this symposium is enough for Mr. Hou to be depressed for a while, and I am afraid that few people will listen to his speeches in the future.A veteran cadre relies on his influence, and he can still play a little role. No one listens to him, so what influence does he have?

After Mr. Zou stayed, in addition to following the original rank and official rules, he also wanted to have a few words with Mu Guoxing.

"Prime Minister, I have benefited a lot from listening to your speech today. When you go back, please send my regards to the master and comrades in the army."

At this moment, Mu Guoxing understood that the reason why Elder Zou spoke first at this symposium must have been instructed by Elder Mu.Mu Guoxing felt hot in his heart, he knew that this was arranged by the master in advance.Although the master has repeatedly stated that he will not ask any more questions, he is still paying close attention to every move of some people. He must have known the purpose of Hou Lao's request for this symposium, and made a tit-for-tat deployment.You must know that Mr. Mu's prestige and influence are unmatched by anyone in China. He only needs to say a word, not to mention these retired veteran cadres, even the current No. [-] must be taken seriously.

Hou Lao failed to return from this symposium, and within a few hours, the situation of this meeting spread among the veteran cadres and the current high-level leaders of the Central Committee.Everyone knew that Mr. Hou's attempt at the meeting to persuade Mu Guoxing to withdraw from the joint investigation team had been shattered.The central government will never stop investigating the bean curd project in Jiangbei Province because of interference from some people.

Hou Lao returned home, ignored Liu Gaoren who had been waiting here, and told the guards who followed him: "I'm going to clean up today, and I won't see anyone."

Seeing Hou Lao's groaning, Liu Gaoren didn't fart. He greeted Hou Lao's staff and left in despair.He guessed that Mr. Hou failed to persuade Mu Guoxing this time, and the Central Joint Investigation Team would continue to investigate.

The news in the official circles is that what you can't get from Mr. Hou doesn't mean that Liu Gaoren can't get it from other channels. Cadres like them have their own circles, although they don't necessarily give him a lot of information. Help, but leaking a little information is still possible.

After some inquiring, Liu Gaoren knew that his guess had become a reality, and he didn't expect things to turn out like this. What was originally planned was because Mrs. Wei changed his mind midway and asked Mrs. Hou to be present at the meeting. It's hard to do it alone, which doesn't serve the purpose.Mr. Wei was originally an old subordinate of Mr. Hou, and now even his old subordinates can betray him at a critical moment, let alone other people?

The phone rang, and when I picked it up, it was Chu Li, the vice governor of Jiangbei Province: "Old leader, what instructions do you have from the chief, I can't stand it here anymore."

Thinking of Hou Lao's trusted old subordinate, Wei Lao, who can betray the water at critical moments, Liu Gaoren is naturally angry with him as an old subordinate.If it weren't for Chu Li's teasing back then, would Liu Gaoren have gotten into these troubles?After working for a lifetime, who doesn't want to spend a few days of comfort after retiring? Now Liu Gaoren just wants to get through this difficult time in peace and not be implicated in this case. At this time, he thought that peace is a blessing. The words are really wise. @.

Text 880 Chapter [-] Someone forced the palace

"Comrade Xinli, everything depends on yourself. You have caused such a big trouble yourself, so you have to solve it yourself. Otherwise, why did I promote you back then? It is impossible for the chief to help you, and I will not help you forever."

Liu Gaoren was very confident when he said this, not because of anything else, but mainly because the money he earned from the flood embankment project was handed over to him by Chu Xinli himself several times, and others simply did not I don't know that Liu Gaoren, the majestic governor of the province, would accept bribes. Even if the central investigation team finds out about Chu Xinli's corruption and acceptance of bribes, Liu Gaoren will definitely push it all away. There is no third party present in the transaction between the two. Chu Xinli didn't have any evidence. Even if the central investigation team had great capabilities, they couldn't find anything wrong with Liu Gaoren.No matter how powerful the gang of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection are, and no matter how many interrogation methods they have, can they still torture a dignified provincial and ministerial cadre like him?

"Old leader, I understand. It seems that I am doomed this time. In view of my loyalty to you over the years, I hope you can take care of my family in the future."

Liu Gaoren heard the meaning of Chu Xinli's words, and this was exactly what he wanted. At this time, he naturally wanted to comfort him, otherwise, Chu Xinli would really bite him out, although Liu Gaoren was not afraid The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection tortured and confessed to him, but it was a very troublesome thing after all.

"Xinli, to be honest, I didn't expect things to come to this point. I am also responsible for this. If I had asked you to retire early, your family would have gone abroad a long time ago. Alas, I regret it now. It’s useless. But don’t worry, if anything happens, I’m your old leader, and I’ll take care of your family. I’ll also tell my wife about the marriage between your daughter and my son. If you are worried, I can get them married right away."

"Thank you, old leader. This is my last wish. Take care, old leader! I will never bother you again."

Putting down the phone, Liu Gaoren showed a sinister smile on his face, and said two words: "Idiot!"

Liu Gaoren knew very well that Chu Xinli was explaining his funeral just now. As long as he died, the central investigation team would not be able to find anything, even if they had great capabilities. You must know that dead people don't speak.

Liu Gaoren picked up the teacup and sipped it carefully. He was thinking about what to do if Chu Xinli really committed suicide.Of course, Liu Gaoren would not be foolish enough to let his son marry the daughter of a deputy governor who committed suicide in fear of crime.As for Chu Xinli's wife, it's not impossible to take care of her. Chu Xinli's money from that project is definitely not less than Liu Gaoren's, and even more. Since he decided to commit suicide, Chu Xinli will definitely do well. Everything is prepared.

It is also a common thing in this officialdom. When a corrupt official dies, the case will be automatically terminated. No matter how strict the country's laws are, a dead person cannot be held accountable.There are too many examples of one person dying and one happy family. Chu Xinli left so much money, does his wife still need Liu Gaoren to take care of him?

Thinking of this, Liu Gaoren felt a little sorry for Chu Xinli. To Liu Gaoren, his old subordinate was loyal, even to the point of foolish loyalty.Of course, there is a reason for this. When Chu Xinli was the magistrate of a county, dozens of people died because of an accident in a mine. The deputy county magistrate made him a scapegoat, and Chu Xinli had been in prison for a long time, so he may not be released now.

Later Liu Gaoren went to the province and promoted Chu Xinli to be the mayor. As a result, Chu Xinli was so greedy that he colluded with real estate developers and made a lot of money. If Liu Gaoren hadn't come forward to protect him again, Chu Xinli I'm afraid Li would have been sent to the execution ground to be shot. It can also be said that without Liu Gaoren's care, Chu Xinli would not be where he is today. It can even be said that Chu Xinli still owes Liu Gaoren two lives, and now Chu Xinli is doing this. It's just paying off the debt.

Liu Gaoren felt a little more at ease. Isn’t there a saying in Jianghu that you always have to pay back when you come out to mess around. Anyway, under Liu Gaoren’s protection, Chu Xinli’s glory has been good enough for so many years, and he has left so many things. The money is enough to make his family live a happy life.

Liu Gaoren picked up the phone and called the eldest son who was the deputy director of the Jiangbei Provincial Public Security Bureau. The father and son were on the phone, conspiring for a long time, and finally Liu Gaoren's son understood and went to help Chu Xinli.Of course, this help is not to prevent Chu Xinli from committing suicide, but to monitor whether Chu Xinli will really commit suicide.Poor Chu Xinli has used his two deputies as scapegoats all his life, and in the end, he himself has become someone else's scapegoat.

Mu Guoxing returned to Mr. Mu's house. As soon as he walked into the small courtyard, he saw the old man holding a watering can and watering his flowers and plants. A staff member was staring at the kettle in the old man's hand, ready to take action at any time.

"Guoxing, hurry up and persuade your grandpa. He is over 100 years old, but he insists on not accepting his old age. Just water the flowers. You must take that big bucket."

Mu Guoxing stepped forward, picked up a handful of small plastic pots, and replaced the big iron pot from the old man's hand: "Grandpa, grandma is right. It's the artistic conception that makes flowers and sketches. You don't often talk about it." Do you value the result rather than the process? Just let them do what you want to do with these flowers, and at most you can just point out from the sidelines. You don’t doubt whether to employ people, and this is the principle you have insisted on all your life.”

The old man looked at Mu Guoxing: "What you said makes sense, but no one can take away the right to work. If I am not allowed to work, then what is the point of my life?"

"Grandpa, you are already in your prime of life. You can exercise your body, but you have to do what you can. You often teach me to follow the trend and never force it. You must obey the laws of nature. I never forgot what I said."

The old man laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, can't it be enough for Grandpa to listen to you?"

The old lady was happy: "Guoxing, your grandfather only listens to you now, and he never listens to others. Your father came here the day before yesterday, and your grandfather criticized him for this matter."

The old man looked at the old lady: "I will listen to whoever is right. What Guoxing says makes sense."

After receiving the towel handed over by the staff, the old man wiped his hands, glanced at Mu Guoxing, and strode towards the living room.A hundred-year-old man, his waist is neither hunchbacked nor bent, judging from the momentum of walking, he is as straight as a man in his prime.

It was very rare for the old man to finish listening to Mu Guoxing's report on the situation at the veteran cadre symposium. This was the only time since the old man announced that he would no longer intervene in anything.

Hearing Mu Guoxing say thank you to grandpa, the old man smiled: "Thank you for what? I have already said that I will not ask about anything anymore. The leadership group dictates, this is a rule that everyone must abide by, and I can't sit idly by if they want to get married, it's they who broke the rules first."

Mu Guoxing brought the old man a cup of tea with his own hands, and the old man took a sip and said, "I know exactly who that Hou is, and I also expected him to do this, but he made a wrong calculation. It's ridiculous and sad to learn from historical allusions to build a palace."

Mu Guoxing was taken aback. He didn't expect the old man to call the veteran cadre symposium instigated by Mr. Hou a sex palace. This problem can be said to be serious enough.The so-called imperial palace means that the ministers forced the emperor to abdicate, and it also generally refers to forcing the head of the government to resign and give up all or part of his power. It is a kind of coup that is milder than bloody riots.

Since the old man said that Mr. Hou is always in the palace, it seems that the old man will never stop there, and maybe there will be another move.Mu Guoxing looked up at his grandfather, and found that the old man's expression was extremely serious at the moment. He knew that the old man had made up his mind to take this opportunity to deal with that Hou.

At this time, Mu Guoxing realized that he was still far behind the old man in terms of decisiveness in killing.He only thinks about the stability of the political situation and the unity of the team, so he can't clear up the hidden dangers around him in time. Although it can keep him safe for a while, it will not be good for Mu Guoxing in the long run. The only way to get rid of these stumbling blocks is to remove them one by one. If you fall, you will not stumble on your official career.

The old man said that they broke the rules first, which is actually very meaningful. Mr. Shao and Mr. He once clearly told Mr. Hou that they would no longer express their views on the work of the current central leadership group, let alone point fingers. This is actually the old man I personally set a rule for these retired veteran cadres.Mr. Hou broke this rule first, so of course Mr. Mu can't be blamed for fighting back.

In fact, the reason why Mr. Hou instigated this symposium was because he miscalculated the situation. He thought that the old man no longer cared about anything. Without the suppression of Mr. Mu, he could use his influence to do something. Something happened, but what Mr. Hou didn't expect was, how could anyone violate the rules set by the old man?

"Your father came to me the day before yesterday and praised Meng Xianqiang's granddaughter like a flower. It seems that he meant to marry the old Meng's family. You just came today. I will also listen to your opinion."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "You should still have the final say on the affairs of our family, but if you let me discuss opinions, my suggestion is that the children's affairs should be decided by themselves, and we, as elders, can only It can give them a little reference.”

The old man nodded: "Your thoughts are exactly the same as mine. You are in a high position now. If there are no major changes in the future, you will definitely reach the top. Some people have also seen this. It is not impossible to engage in political marriages. , but it should be decided carefully according to the actual situation.”

Mu Guoxing understood that what the old man meant was that if the family power is not strong enough, it is still possible to have a political marriage, but the family power of the old Mu family has no other family in the world that can match it. There is no need for any political marriage. If it is not done well, it will become a ladder for other families to borrow. Once there is a problem with the other party, it will discredit the old Mu family.Instead of this, it is better to let the children find an ordinary family, so as to avoid some unnecessary things from happening. You must know that when a family reaches its peak, reputation is the most important thing. It will damage the family's reputation in the slightest.

The grandfather and grandson drank tea for a while, and the old man said again: "Xiao He has been with me for almost ten years, and the young man is not bad, should he be put down to exercise for a few years?"

The Xiao He that the old man mentioned was his personal secretary. He said it was Xiao He, but he was actually in his 40s, and now he was just a department-level cadre. If he was not promoted, he would be delayed.These staff serve the old man loyally, aren't they planning to have a good future in the future?As a leader, you should also think about your subordinates. Only by letting the people below see hope can they work better. This is something that complements each other.

"Zheng Wei went to the capital to serve as mayor, and Northern Xinjiang Province still lacks a deputy governor. Do you think this position is suitable for him?"

The old man looked at Mu Guoxing: "You decide the government's affairs, and I can't break this rule."
