After Peng Jiasheng secured Secretary Zhang Qiusheng, he also started his own research trip to the following counties and cities.
"Xiao Bei, please communicate with Secretary-General Luo. Let's go downstairs for a walk. The trip is two days. Luo Shengli is the one who will accompany you to the General Office. You will also bring Hu Xiangkuan, the director of the Second Division. On the government side, you will follow Shengli will discuss which leaders of familiar government departments to bring with him. As for the specific route, it is up to you to decide. My only request is that you stay in Ningzhou for one night, and you can decide the rest with the general office. I have already told Luo Shengli .
Zhao Xiaobei knew that the leader wanted to conduct research on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to get in touch with Yu Xiangbo, or to give Zhao Xiaobei a chance to get in touch with Yu Xiangbo. That's what leadership is like: it doesn't show off its mountains or leaks.
Soon Zhao Xiaobei arrived at Luo Shengli's office: "Secretary-General, the leader asked me to come over and discuss with you the investigation."
"Xiao Bei, the leader has already told me. Do you think the leader has any specific requirements?"
"What the leader means is that he wants to go to Ningzhou again and take a look at their investigation of the mining disaster. Also, he wants to avoid welcome and drop-offs and keep everything simple. The leader of the accompanying staff means that Secretary-General, are you sure? Which department leaders are familiar with?”
After hearing this, Luo Shengli was still a little unsure: "Xiao Bei, just tell me everything. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to arrange it."
It can be seen from this that the leader's personal secretaries are more loved by the leader than these secretaries-general, and their status is more important.
Zhao Xiaobei also thought about it and said a few points: "Secretary-General, I feel that the leader's idea this time is mainly to look around and walk around. Except for staying one night in Ningzhou, nothing else is particularly important. As for The leader of the accompanying staff only mentioned these few people in our general office, you, the Secretary-General, Director Hu and me. I personally don’t think there are too many others. Bring those you think you are familiar with and report to the leader. As long as there are more comrades, the media should bring Tang Linglong from the Daily, this comrade has been contacted and it’s not bad.”
Luo Shengli is also a confidant of the leader, but not as close as Zhao Xiaobei. Therefore, he could also understand some of the leader's thoughts. With Zhao Xiaobei's words, he basically understood the leader's intention and gave Zhao Xiaobei a look of understanding:
"Then I understand. I think Tan Hong, deputy director of the Department of Agriculture, Tang Baikui, deputy director of the Water Resources Department, and Li Jianxin, director of the Government Supervision Office. And Qian Xiangqian, director of the Coal Administration Bureau."
"I think it's okay, then let's make the itinerary according to this. When it's done, we'll report to the leader again."
For this kind of investigation activity conducted by leaders, the general office is very handy. Specific arrangements were quickly made and showed to Peng Peng Jiasheng, who didn't say much.
Soon, the first stop for the Executive Vice Governor and his party was Bingzhou City, which is closest to Beijiang. After the leaders arrived, they listened to the report on fiscal and tax reform, looked at the winter water conservancy maintenance situation, and visited several large manufacturing companies that were newly attracted by investment in Bingzhou. After lunch in Bingzhou, we went to the next stop, which was Ningzhou City.
At the exit of the Ningzhou Expressway, Xia Xihua and four other team members from the Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government, the Municipal People's Congress, and the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference were all waiting for Governor Peng's motorcade. Xia Xihua, who was resting in the car, muttered to Mayor Duan Changlin again, "What do you think Governor Peng is here to see this time?"
Duan Changlin next to him is about 50 years old, with a bit of bald hair and a big belly. Fang Zheng is the typical image of an official leader.
"I really don't know his true purpose, but according to the notice from the Provincial Government Office, the story is still about the water leakage accident. Because Lao Qian also came with him."
Xia Xihua also inquired through people from the Provincial Government Office, and the answer he got was that Governor Peng came mainly to see the agricultural tax reform and to hear about the investigation of the water leakage accident at Ningzhou Guofu Coal Mine.
But Xia Xihua doesn't think so, because there is nothing to say about the water leakage accident in the coal mine. Ningzhou City has also dealt with the relevant responsible persons and submitted the investigation report to the provincial party committee and the provincial government. So what is left? ?
He also reported this matter to his old leader Yang Zhigang many times. Deputy Secretary Yang Zhigang just said, handle the tail well and keep a low profile.
Although I have dealt with it, I don't know why this time, but I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. But I can't say why. Therefore, I can only do a better job on the surface, and serve the executive deputy governor well, and cannot let him pick on me.
Peng Jiasheng's motorcade slowed down after getting off the highway, and finally stopped next to Secretary Xia Xihua's car. At this time, Peng Jiasheng also woke up and looked out the window:
"Xiao Bei, it's cold outside. Call Secretary Xia and Mayor Duan to our car, and then go directly to the municipal party committee building." The Peng family said to Zhao Xiaobei calmly.
The car door slowly opened. Xia Xihua and Duan Changlin hurried forward to say hello. When they looked up, they saw Zhao Xiaobei. Zhao Xiaobei said directly without waiting for the two of them to speak:
"Secretary, mayor. The leader said it's cold outside. You two get in this car and go directly to the municipal committee."
Xia Xihua got on the bus, and Duan Changlin exchanged a few words with the secretary next to him before getting on the bus.
"Good leader," Xia Xihua and Duan Changlin greeted Peng Jiasheng, and Peng Jiasheng also responded: "Thank you for your hard work. It's such a cold weather and I kept you waiting for so long."
"These are what we should do, and leaders are welcome to come and inspect the work."
Peng Jiasheng also chatted with them.
"Our Ningzhou economy is at the forefront of the province. You two have contributed a lot, especially Secretary Xihua. How many years have you been in Ningzhou?"
"Leader, I have been in Ningzhou for almost 12 years, from executive deputy mayor to city to now secretary of the municipal party committee."
"Then the construction of Ningzhou also owes a lot to you," Peng Jiasheng praised Xia Xihua.
Xia Xihua will not let down his guard just because of Peng Jiasheng's praise.
This is how it is in officialdom. No matter how big the conflict of interest is, no matter how big the competition is, it's all smiles on the surface, but fatal moves behind the scenes. In the business world, conflicts of interest are always kept in the open, and then they are done with real swords and guns.
Some people say that struggles in official circles are calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents surging underneath.
Take the current Peng Jiasheng and Xia Xihua as an example. In fact, they both know that they have different interests. To put it bluntly, it is a life-and-death struggle, but on the surface they act like they are fine.
"Then you have been in Ningzhou for so many years and are the top leader. How do you evaluate the team members?"
Xia Xihua didn't dare to answer casually at this time. He didn't know Peng Jiasheng's true intention. I can only say it tactfully: "Our comrades in Ningzhou all work closely around the party committee and focus on economic construction. They are all contributors to the construction of Ningzhou."
After saying that, he saw the expression on Peng Jiasheng's face change, but he was very disappointed. Peng Jiasheng's face was still calm, and he couldn't tell why.
"Well, the construction of Ningzhou cannot be separated from the helm of your party committee. So who is responsible for the agricultural tax reform at this stage?"
Zhao Xiaobei knew that Peng Jiasheng's intention was revealed. Because agricultural tax reform is Peng Jiasheng's main task now, Zhao Xiaobei knows the leaders in charge of this work in each city.
Ningzhou is under the charge of Executive Vice Mayor Yu Xiangbo, and it basically corresponds to the provincial level. In most cities, the person responsible for this work is the executive deputy mayor. Peng Jiasheng was all foreshadowing, but the last question was the key. He just needed to guide Yu Xiangbo out of Xia Xihua's mouth. This gave Xia Xihua the illusion that he was mainly concerned about the reform of agricultural taxes.
