Soon the time came to October 11, 2004. The central research team came to Yueshan Province.
At the airport in Yueshan Province, Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhang Qiusheng, Governor Liu Guanghui, Executive Vice Governor Peng Jiasheng, and some members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee at home greeted the research team at the airport.
Due to grade reasons, all highways from the airport to Hengshui County have been closed. The research team did not stay at the airport for too long. Zhang Qiusheng, on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, introduced the people from the province who came to greet the research team one by one. After taking the leadership, I got on the bus and headed directly to Hengshui County.
There were 12 cars in total. The Deputy Chief and the Propaganda Minister wanted to sit in one car, accompanied by Secretary Zhang of the Provincial Party Committee, but Minister Wang proposed to sit in the car at the back. The car behind was the Minister of Finance, accompanied by Peng Jiasheng. On.
Minister Wang spoke in the car:
"Comrade Jiasheng, is this your secretary Zhao Xiaobei? Is he the author of the article "Where Should Agricultural Taxes Go in 2600?"
Zhao Xiaobei looked at Peng Jiasheng in surprise, but Peng Jiasheng said happily:
"Leader, this is Comrade Zhao Xiaobei."
Zhao Xiaobei quickly stood up.
"Comrade Xiaobei, sit down quickly. Don't be nervous."
Can Zhao Xiaobei not be nervous? This is the head of the Central Propaganda Department, which is the core level of power, but he is also very surprised that Minister Wang feels that he has a memory of him and seems to be a little interested.
Peng Jiasheng looked at Zhao Xiaobei's expression and gave him a relaxed expression.
"Comrade Xiaobei, how old are you this year? Which school did you graduate from? What is your current position?"
"Chief, I am 22 years old. I graduated from Yueshan Provincial University. I am now the deputy chief staff member of the Second Division of the Provincial Party Committee General Office." Although Zhao Xiaobei was nervous, he still introduced himself generously.
"You graduated and started working as a deputy chief clerk?" Minister Wang asked in confusion.
"Reporting to the head, I received an award for my meritorious service when I was working, so I was promoted to deputy chief section officer in an unusual way."
"Oh, I also heard that during the rescue work of the Guofu mine disaster, you also risked your own life to rescue others. You are a good young man. Keep up the good work."
After saying this, Minister Wang gave Zhao Xiaobei a kind look. Zhao Xiaobei also quickly answered in the affirmative.
Then there was no talking in the car. By the time the motorcade arrived in Hengshui County, it was already noon. Under the arrangement of the county party committee, the research team began to report on their work after having a group meal in the canteen of the county party committee's compound.
The Secretary of the Hengshui County Party Committee reported on the work report of the agricultural tax and fee reform pilot on behalf of Hengshui County. After the research team finished listening, they began to conduct grassroots research. The research this time was very serious. The research team made detailed understanding and records. They also asked many questions of the accompanying people from time to time, and sometimes communicated with local people.
When it was almost time for dinner, the research team returned to the Hengshui County Party Committee compound. It was still a buffet. After the meal, the leader of the research team began to rest in the hotel.
Zhao Xiaobei accompanied Peng Jiasheng to meet with the leaders of the research team one by one. Other leaders, Zhao Xiaobei, thought it was normal. Only after arriving in Minister Wang's room, Zhao Xiaobei felt that Minister Wang was particularly interested in him, and he also clearly felt that Peng Jiasheng was very close to Minister Wang.
"Comrade Xiaobei, I heard from Governor Jiasheng. Did you plan and arrange the restructuring of Guofu Mine? Yes, you are very stable and mature at a young age. As for you using public opinion to lift the lid? I admire your approach very much. This is also the active thinking of you young people and the enhancement of your knowledge. It is worth learning from our old comrades. This time, the central government also supervised the discovery of the restructuring problem of Guofu Mine, and it was highly praised. Propaganda Department. This is all your fault. I have to thank you."
When Zhao Xiaobei heard these words from the chief, he quickly said with fear:
"Chief, these are Governor Peng's arrangements. I'm just running errands. Without Governor Peng's strategizing, I can't do anything. It's all the credit of the leader."
Minister Wang laughed loudly when he heard this: "You are young and you are quite glib. Others don't know it, but I don't know it either? You, Governor Peng, have all told me."
Zhao Xiaobei quickly looked at Peng Jiasheng.
"Xiao Bei, Minister Wang is also my old leader. I told the old leader all these things about you. Minister Wang was not in the research team originally, and Executive Vice Minister Li from the Propaganda Department was originally here. It was Minister Wang who specifically told me Apply to the central government, come and have a look. They say they want to see the agricultural tax and fee reform, but in fact they mainly want to see you. Old leaders have always attached great importance to young cadres."
Zhao Xiaobei was even more modest:
"Thank you for the care and concern of the leaders. I will work hard and live up to the care of the leaders and the organization."
Both Minister Wang and Peng Jiasheng laughed, and Minister Wang did not forget to joke:
"Comrade Xiaobei is good at everything, but she is too humble. She just complements the one in our family. She is just too active, and she is the little ancestor of the family. If she is not satisfied with those three sentences, she will leave me and his two brothers. That’s so frustrating that I have nothing to say.”
Zhao Xiaobei thought Minister Wang was speaking out of emotion. Just when he was about to say something, Minister Wang spoke again:
"Take your published article as an example. She directly told me that she wanted to publish something on the portal for a friend. I just said that I would read it first before talking about it, and she just started to complain. In that state, as long as If I don't agree, it's as if she wants to break off the relationship with me. Haha..."
When Zhao Xiaobei heard this, he understood that Minister Wang was Wang Qianqian's father. He was also the man behind the report letter he published. But he was still not sure, so he looked at his leader Peng Jiasheng with questioning eyes.
Peng Jiasheng also answered him directly: "Xiaobei, did you know? This is Qianqian's father."
Zhao Xiaobei quickly said: "Uncle Wang, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were Qianqian's father."
Minister Wang, who was also called uncle, was very happy. Judging from Zhao Xiaobei's performance today, this young man has ideas and motivation for his work, but he does not have the impulsiveness of a young man. Instead, he has the feeling of being young and mature. I still like this young man very much.
Then the three of them chatted for a long time, mainly about the restructuring of Guofu Mine, about an hour later. Peng Jiasheng then left with Zhao Xiaobei. When he left, Zhao Xiaobei's face was filled with joy and pride. But calm soon returned.
Peng Jiasheng was surprised when he saw the expression change on Zhao Xiaobei's face. I'm still thinking: I didn't expect him to have such a stable character at such a young age, and he is such a good prospect.
