Chapter 27: Taking office in Nangang

On Army Day, August 1, 2007, at 10:20 noon, a group of black cars drove out of the Nangang Municipal Party Committee compound and left the city around the East Outer Ring Road, exiting the Nankang-Nangang City Expressway. Stop at the station.

The motorcade was the main members of the Nangang City party and government team who came to welcome the new secretary. With the sound of the door opening and closing, Mayor Zhu Jianguo, Director of the National People's Congress Tao Yuhong, Chairman of the CPPCC Zhuang Qingshan, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Shao Ning, and Organization Minister Hu Linlin , Executive Vice Mayor Liu Wei, Propaganda Minister Wang Dongshan, Standing Committee Vice Mayor Zhang Chuanwen, Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General Yang Dandan, Military Division Commander Wang Ziquan and others got out of their respective cars.

At a glance, the long queue of black cars are all dazzling Audi A6s.

After waiting for less than ten minutes, a silver-gray business car got out of the station. After looking at the car plate, Mayor Zhu Jianguo, who was standing in the first place, took a step closer. The people standing behind him started to move like a tide.

The car stopped, and the first person to get out of the car was the dashing Gan Xiaojing, the organization director of the Standing Committee of the District Committee. Wearing black pants, a white short-sleeved shirt, and a ponytail, the young woman looked capable, neat, and distinguished.

Zhu Jianguo, who had a crew cut, wore gray trousers and checkered short-sleeves, smiled and stretched out his hand from afar. "Hello Minister Gan, welcome to Nangang City."

Gan Xiaojing's hand touched his for a moment and then let go. She raised her face and scanned the crowd: "Where's Secretary Zhao? Didn't you pick him up?"

"Secretary Zhao..." Zhu Jianguo was almost confused by Gan Xiaojing's explanation. He thought to himself, "Didn't you send Secretary Zhao to take office? Why are you still asking for someone from us?"

He looked at no one getting off the car, looked back, and suddenly realized that it seemed that the new Secretary Zhao must have come to Nangang in advance, but he just didn't meet everyone. Who knows where he might be?

Just when he turned back, he saw a taxi floating over at lightning speed. When it was about ten meters away from him and Gan Xiaojing, it started to slow down and brake. When the car stopped, he and Gan Xiaojing had just arrived. in front of. A young man in his twenties walked out of the car with a smile. As he walked, he said, "I'm sorry, Minister Gan. There was a traffic jam on the road. I was a little late."

Gan Xiaojing smiled at him: "What did you do? Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I would come over at 10:30? You will be late at this time. Didn't you mean to let Mayor Zhu and others look at you? Is it a joke?”

Zhao Jianhui walked over and shook hands with her, then turned around and held Zhu Jianguo's hand and said, "I'm sorry, Mayor Zhu, for keeping you all waiting for so long."

Is this person the new municipal party secretary? Are you mistaken? This is still a young boy. He is not yet twenty-five, so he is now a secretary?

But looking at Gan Xiaojing's expression, one knew that this guy was definitely not a fake. Zhu Jianguo held Zhao Jianhui's hand tightly and shook it twice: "Sorry, Secretary Zhao, I didn't know you had come to Nangang City a long time ago, and I didn't know where you lived. I didn't pick him up when you came. you."

As soon as Zhu Jianguo opened his mouth, Zhao Jianhui heard something strange in his voice and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Are you blaming me for not doing the private visit incognito, or are you referring to something else?

"It doesn't matter, the so-called ignorant person is not guilty? Besides, I was not the municipal party committee secretary of Nangang City before this." These old officials are so cunning, and they always have hooks in their words. Zhao Jianhui said, "I was not the Party Secretary of Nangang City before this" and gently blocked Zhu Jianguo's words. I wasn't the top leader in Nangang City at that time, but from now on I will be.

Gan Xiaojing showed approval at this time and smiled lightly at Zhao Jianhui. That means that this trick is used well, the needle is hidden in the cotton, and there is no leakage.

Only then did Zhu Jianguo let go of Zhao Jianhui's hand, and Tao Yuhong, director of the National People's Congress, came up second to shake hands with Zhao Jianhui. Tao Yuhong is a wealthy woman in her forties, well-maintained, with light crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. She is dressed in a very ordinary blue skirt. Elegantly, she stretched out her hand to shake Zhao Jianhui's hand and said, "Welcome, Secretary Zhao!" The smile of this middle-aged mature woman looked a bit charming, and her eyes were flowing, as if she was seducing a man. But after she finished speaking, she let go and stepped aside without saying anything else.

Zhuang Qingshan is a thin middle-aged man with a pair of glasses, a polite manner, and his hair is very neatly combed. He looks quite decent and holds Zhao Jianhui's hand and says: "Welcome Secretary Zhao. When Secretary Zhao is free, be sure to come." Let’s sit down at the CPPCC, many members are looking forward to meeting Secretary Zhao.”

Zhao Jianhui still smiled very politely and said: "I will definitely go when I have time. If Nangang City wants to develop better, it still depends on the correct leadership of the municipal party committee and government and the joint efforts of the people of the city. My personal abilities are limited, and the CPPCC must give full play to its political participation A good role in discussing politics.”

Then came Shao Ning, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, Hu Linlin, director of the organization, Liu Wei, executive deputy mayor, Wang Dongshan, director of publicity, Zhang Chuanwen, deputy mayor of the standing committee, Yang Dandan, secretary-general of the municipal party committee, Wang Ziquan, commander of the military division, and others. Although no one was not shocked by Zhao Jianhui's youth, no one showed any signs of losing his composure.

After some polite greetings, everyone got in the car. Zhao Jianhui got into Gan Xiaojing's car and the team continued to move forward. After the car started moving, Gan Xiaojing said coldly: "Some people see you as young and feel a little unbalanced."

Zhao Jianhui smiled calmly and whispered, "It's okay. The impression I have on these people will gradually change in my future work. Driver, drive faster. Let's get ahead of them and go straight after the roundabout."

"Secretary Zhao, that road is a bit difficult to drive. Although it is closer by 15 or 16 kilometers, it is not as fast as the East Outer Ring Road." The driver looked back at Gan Xiaojing and saw her nod gently. He turned his head away without saying anything. He stepped on the accelerator with his right foot, and the Mercedes-Benz business car passed the car in front, went straight after the roundabout, and entered the unfinished dirt road that Zhao Jianhui and Erfeng took when they came to Nangang City.

The convoy behind saw Minister Gan's car driving on this road, and they all stopped for a while. The leading police car in front turned back and parked on the side of the road when it approached Zhu Jianguo's car. Zhu Jianguo stuck his head out of the car and asked, "What's going on?"

"The leader's car didn't take the outer ring, but went straight ahead, taking the old road that is being renovated. What should we do?" Before the leading policeman finished speaking, Zhu Jianguo snorted in a deep voice: "What else can we do? Hurry up and catch up. Why stop?"

As the car started, Zhu Jianguo kept asking himself in his heart: "Is it Gan Xiaojing who wants to see something, or does the new leader want to start with the road construction? It is said that new officials start three fires when they take office. Is this the first fire that has been ignited now?"

Sitting in the bumpy car, Gan Xiaojing's face became darker and darker: "I said that when they came to Nangang City last time, why did they not take the shortcut and had to go around Dongwai in a big circle? It turns out that this section of road is like this?"

"Haha, you get angry first, there are more annoying things ahead." As Zhao Jianhui said this, the toll station had already arrived. The car stopped in front of the toll booth. The toll collector looked at the brand of Mercedes-Benz Business and said in a sweet voice: "The fee is 30 yuan, please cooperate..."

The car window rolled down, and Gan Xiaojing asked in confusion: "You still charge for this road condition?" The toll collector sitting in the booth said while finding change: "How many days do you go there? I have to work at the toll station from 4:30 pm to 12 pm every day. How much dust do I have to inhale every day?

"The road is so broken, is the driver willing to pay this money?" Gan Xiaojing asked.

If he doesn't pay, he will not be allowed to go. This is the main transportation to the city. If he doesn't take this road, he can only go around the East Ring Road, which will take more than 30 miles. Besides, we don't charge for this road, but the "entry fee" of Nangang City!" In response to Gan Xiaojing's question, the staff of the toll station explained.

Zhao Jianhui wondered what the so-called "city entry fee" was. Why was the toll booth for collecting the "city entry fee" set up on such a muddy road? What was the "city entry fee" collected for?

After receiving the receipt from the toll collector, Zhao Jianhui got out of the car. The police cars and cars following behind also stopped, and the shiny black leather shoes stepped on the dirt road that looked like it was covered with a layer of dust without hesitation.

"Who can tell me what the city entry fee is?" Zhao Jianhui's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and everyone could feel the coldness in his eyes.

Silence, no sound.

Zhao Jianhui smiled, got back in the car, and drove forward with a cloud of dust.

The Municipal Party Committee Building has 17 floors, and this imposing building can be seen from a distance. After the car stopped at the gate of the compound, Zhao Jianhui was dazzled by the backlight. After calming down, he looked at this extremely imposing building, and then thought about the road full of dirt and dust he had just walked. Zhao Jianhui's face became gloomy.

The welcome meeting was held in the conference room on the top floor of the Municipal Party Committee Building. There was no welcome ceremony before, but it went straight to the point.

More than 30 people from the four major teams came, and the welcome meeting began after they took their seats.

First, Zhu Jianguo delivered a welcome speech. In his speech, Zhu Jianguo emphasized the warm welcome to Minister Gan's arrival and expressed his warm support for the Autonomous Region Party Committee's arrangement of Comrade Zhao Jianhui as the Secretary of the Nangang Municipal Party Committee. Throughout his speech, Zhao Jianhui always had a smile on his face, silently bearing all kinds of looks from everyone.
