Official Ladder [Grassroots Civil Servants]

The next morning, Wang Hongtao went directly to Governor Liu Congfeng's office to discuss several tasks.

When Wang Hongtao appeared in the provincial government building, Deputy Secretary-General Qi Yonghuan rushed out of the office after receiving the news and went to the elevator to greet him in person.Now the provincial government knows well that it is the only choice to rely on the future master of the provincial government and the largest local faction in the officialdom of Qin Province.

"Secretary, you are here! The governor has just arrived. There is no arrangement for this meeting. I will take you there."

Wang Hongtao smiled and said, "Yong Huan, you have worked hard during this time, and the provincial government only has you as the Deputy Secretary-General."

"Secretary, it should be!"

Seeing Wang Hongtao enter the door, Governor Liu Congfeng teased, "Why did you come here, big secretary? If you have something to call, I will report to the provincial party committee."

"Governor, you're scolding me! Is it because I haven't come here these two days? Are you angry? How about I buy you a few drinks to make amends in the evening?"

"I've already presided over the work of the provincial party committee, but I'm still poor-mouthed. Come here so early, tell me, what's the matter?"

"Of course I'm looking for money from the governor!" Wang Hongtao handed over several fund application reports, and said, "The special funds for the merger of the two cities, the first batch of special funds for the renovation of shanty towns in 2019, and the transfer payment funds for the first quarter, oh, the province Chang'an, Chang'an is planning a huge 'music festival' to help Chang'an's Spring Festival tour, and I would like to ask the provincial government to support 3000 million yuan."

Without further ado, Governor Liu Congfeng approved all three application reports as "Agreed, please verify the appropriation by the finance department"!

Seeing that the words were approved so happily, Wang Hongtao said with a smile: "The governor is rare and generous. If I had known this, I would have brought two more reports."

Liu Congfeng said with a smile: "If you dare to take it, I dare to criticize it. When you take office, if you have no money in the finances, don't blame me!"

Wang Hongtao became entangled in an instant, and even wanted to return the money just approved, but he said helplessly: "Governor, why are you so generous? Is it because you don't feel sorry for your own money! I think you should take it easy, because you are so generous. It’s easy to talk, grant money to everyone, and respond to the call of the central government to live a 'tight life' and a 'hard life'!"

Liu Congfeng smiled: "This will make you feel distressed? Don't worry, I won't finish it for you, why don't you check the documents I approved?"

Wang Hongtao really wanted to agree, but the situation didn't allow it, so he didn't dare to stretch his hand too far, so he said, "The governor will definitely speak principles, so take your time and approve the words."

Liu Congfeng said: "The money that should be paid is up to you, such as the reports you brought. Hong Tao, being the governor is actually a big housekeeper. The most important thing is to allocate funds, and the limited funds must be used for tenacity. , to exert the greatest levering effect, to drive economic development and improve people's livelihood, 'spending money' has great knowledge!"

"Governor, I've been educated!"

"Actually, you have done a good job. Being governor is nothing more than more money for management, but Chang'an's financial revenue is also a lot. Being the governor is not a big pressure on you. Just now you said to hold a 'music festival' ? Judging by your posture, it’s not a joke, is it?”

"It's boring to make a small fuss, your strength doesn't allow it, and you're really planning to make a big event. The reputation of the Spring Festival Gala is not very good. At least it will surpass the Spring Festival Gala. It's quite interesting to hold a nationally sensational music festival in Chang'an to show the style of 'Prosperous Chang'an' As a gimmick, the most important thing is to have a strong lineup, invite enough stars, and sing one song after another without using other programs. We are just a city, and the audience's requirements are not so high. It is easy to shine and improve Chang'an's reputation. City image and taste."

Liu Congfeng said: "The idea is very good, I support it! Many provinces have New Year's Eve concerts, and we don't join in the fun with them. At that time, it was rare and expensive to invite people. I think you should use your brains and think of a gimmick. Try to get those celebrities to come on their own initiative and come for free. They spend too much money and people will scold their mothers. However, if you do it, Chang'an people will not say anything if you spend more money. This is the people's trust and support for the government. The most important thing is 'fish and water'. I think this work should be done with the Central Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Culture, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort."

"The governor is really from a high position. I plan to go to the capital in two days to check the approval of the 'Qin-Han University', and then connect with several other ministries and commissions to check their support. Zheng Guoqiang made a list for me, and I need to talk to the ministries and commissions. Then Find the Central Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Culture to get their support, and the governor of the province will preside over the overall situation.”

"Well, don't worry! Hong Tao, you and I both know that I'm holding a seat for you now, and I probably won't be here for long. I'm definitely leaving after the Spring Festival. I have a few things to explain. How many people are there? Take care, the new secretary has not arrived, so there is no way to study personnel affairs." Liu Congfeng handed over a list.

Wang Hongtao took a look, there were only four or five people, and he agreed casually, "Don't worry, governor, we will ensure that the implementation is in place."

Liu Congfeng nodded and said: "No way, after all, I have worked for several years, and some relationships really can't save face. Hongtao, the provincial government still lacks a secretary-general and two deputy secretary-generals. I didn't propose to fill the vacancies last time. You just look at the arrangements." Right. Si Daiqiang, I asked him to intervene in the work in advance, you probably want him to continue to be your secretary."

"Thank you Governor for your great support!"

"There are still a few leading cadres. I asked them to report to you. After I leave, I hope you can care about them. They are all very capable."

"Thank you Governor, please rest assured, Governor, I will use it fairly and justly, and treat everyone equally."

"Hong Tao, in recent years, you have given me great surprises and helped me a lot in my work. Qin Province's ranking has risen rapidly this year. To be honest, I have also been honored by you. At the same time, I have also learned from you. There are many. Hongtao, I have a suggestion. When you go to the capital this time, you can talk to Minister Jiazhong. You have to choose a candidate."

Wang Hongtao nodded and said, "Thank you, governor, for your reminder, and thank you for your continued support for my work. The green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever, and the end of the world will not be far away. See you in the rivers and lakes!"

On January 1, Wang Hongtao brought Ye Weiping, Minister of Propaganda, Xie Mingyong, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, Zheng Bin, Director of the Development and Reform Commission, Zhang Wantong, Director of the Statistics Bureau, Huang Ming, Director of Education, Guo Jian, Director of Industry and Information Technology, Chen Zi, Director of Human Resources and Social Security Lin Wu and Professor Zheng Guoqiang, deputy director of the Department of Education, went to the capital. One was to go to the "Qinhan University" for approval and seek support from the ministries and commissions; the other was to meet the year-end target responsibility assessment. No way, I don't want to suffer a disadvantage in the assessment; moreover, I will seek support for the "Music Festival" from the Central Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Culture, and the General Administration of Optoelectronics.

One route was arranged by Secretary-General Xie Mingyong, and the specification was also upgraded to an airport dedicated channel. Although it is not a special plane, it will be adjusted according to the leader's time, just like a special plane.

After getting off the plane, Wang Hongtao took Xie Mingyong to the Organization Department of the Central Committee to visit Minister Chen Jiazhong, while the other leaders went to connect with the higher-level departments and set up the front line for Wang Hongtao's visit to the ministries and commissions.In fact, the top leaders of the provincial department have a good relationship with the leaders of the ministries and commissions, and the business contacts are very close, and the upper levels also need the lower levels to implement the work, so they can save face.

Jia Mingyuan, director of the Beijing Office, had already arranged everything, and according to the usual practice, this time should come.

On the way, after getting off the car, on the way to Minister Chen Jiazhong's office, Wang Hongtao said, "Mingyong, with all due respect, your position should be adjusted. Does the minister have any instructions?"

Xie Mingyong shook his head and said, "Secretary, it's really embarrassing to continue to be the secretary-general. Minister Chen never said anything, and I can't ask directly. Please ask the secretary to mediate."

Wang Hongtao nodded and said, "I see. If you are transferred from the province, unless someone leaves, you will have to be transferred from Qin Province. Let me help you find out. The minister must have arrangements."

"Thank you, secretary. Actually, I really want to go to the provincial government and work under your command."

Wang Hongtao smiled, noncommittal, thinking you want to come and I don't want to!

On the 7th floor, Wang Hongtao first went to the secretary Zhao Lingyun's office.

After Chen Jiazhong took office, he did not change his secretary. Even if he did, he had to find a better place for Zhao Lingyun, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Secretary Chen Deming. Maybe they had reached a consensus long ago and were waiting for adjustments.

Zhao Lingyun warmly received him, saying that the minister told him to go in at 11 o'clock, but the reception later was postponed, and a luncheon was arranged at noon.

To be honest, Zhao Lingyun is very envious of Wang Hongtao, he is younger than himself, but his position is not the same.When one minister left, the next minister continued to pay attention to him. Wang Hongtao, who was really a steady minister, couldn't be tolerated if he wasn't an official.

Half an hour before 11 o'clock, Wang Hongtao went to Lin Zifan's office to drink tea, which made Zhao Lingyun feel emotional, just like his own home, he knew how close the relationship between the two was.

Seeing Wang Hongtao pushing the door and entering, Lin Zifan put down the documents, got up and said with a smile, "Secretary Wang, rare visitor! I'll make tea for you myself."

"No need, I'll go to the minister later, don't waste it."

"Waste what should be wasted. It's really good tea. It's a pity not to drink it. I usually drink it reluctantly."

Wang Hongtao sat down with a smile, and said, "Being a committee member will give you a different treatment, and the office will become bigger!"

"No matter how old you are, can you still be as big as you? Governor, my dear, I have worked in the ministry for more than [-] years, and I have never seen such a young governor. I see you go to the Central Propaganda Department and the Internet Information Office in advance. Activities, beware of cyberbullying.”

"Zifan, can you speak to the leaders of the Central Propaganda Department, the General Administration of Optoelectronics, and the Ministry of Culture?"

Lin Zifan asked suspiciously, "What? Is there something wrong?"

"Chang'an wants to hold a music festival, just before the Spring Festival. Isn't this a big event with a small amount of money!"

"Our unit can establish a relationship with that department. There must be acquaintances. I guess it's not a big deal. You connect first. If you can't, I'll do it! I can't, and I will move the minister out and kill me all the way!"
