The two of them chatted all the way, and within a few minutes, they arrived at the Provincial Party Committee Courtyard! It turned out that Secretary Shen of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor Wu made a special trip to take Mr. Bai to the canteen of the Provincial Party Committee to have dinner together.
Zhang Pengfei and Wan'er were honored to have a meal with Mr. Bai and to have contact with two major leaders in the province.
As soon as they got off the bus, Zhang Pengfei and Wan'er followed Tang Jianguo and his wife into the private room No. 1 where the Provincial Party Committee dined.
As soon as he entered the private room, it was filled with splendor and splendor, and Zhang Pengfei was blinded by the sight! The decoration inside is no worse than the decoration outside! As soon as people arrive in the private room, hot meals are served directly.
"Lao Bai, please sit down first. Lao Wu and I will accompany you. At present, the economy of Zhonghai Province is developing rapidly, and the long-term development of a provincial capital has reached a bottleneck."
"In the past six months, Lao Wu and I have been applying to the higher authorities to upgrade Changyun New District to a national new district. We have been trying for more than half a year, but the ministries and commissions have not given any approval. They say that all provinces across the country are developing new districts, and the new districts are too There are too many, some duplicate settings.”
"But our Zhonghai Province has the specific actual situation of our province. We Zhonghai does not have a national-level new district. If the long-term new district can be upgraded to a national-level new district, the economic performance index it carries will be equivalent to the long-term economic aggregate of the second provincial capital. .”
Provincial Party Committee Secretary Shen Yujia made the opening remarks while holding dishes for Mr. Bai.
Zhang Pengfei understood from the sidelines that Provincial Party Committee Secretary Shen Yujia invited Mr. Bai to this dinner for a purpose. He wanted to upgrade Changyun New District.
Bai Lao did not directly answer Secretary Shen Yujia's words, but directly pulled Zhang Pengfei to sit next to him, and then slowly took a bite of food.
"Xiao Shen, I am aware of the situation you are talking about. Changyun New District was created by Zhou Dekai, then secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, while I was working on the mayor's affairs in Changyun."
"More than ten years ago, he established the Changyun New District with only one purpose, which was to provide more positions for long-term cadres."
"Over the years, the specifications of Changyun New District have been set at the deputy department level. The cadres at the chief and deputy department levels and the department structure are almost the same as those in Changyun City."
"At that time, I was actually opposed to the establishment of this new district. There was no need to create an empty shelf just to free up a large number of positions for cadres. There was one approval process in Changyun City, and another approval process in Changyun New District. The administrative The efficiency is very low.”
As soon as Mr. Bai said these words, Provincial Party Committee Secretary Shen Yujia nodded quickly to express his understanding of Mr. Bai's words.
"Old Secretary, we now want to upgrade Changyun New District to a national level. There are two main purposes."
“The first is to improve the structure of the new district, and the second is to decentralize all administrative approval powers in the province. In this way, the administrative efficiency of the new district will be greatly improved.
Provincial Governor Wu Haichen quickly intervened and poured hot tea for Mr. Bai.
"Lao Bai, let me report to you. In the first quarter of this year alone, there were 20 listed companies settled in Changyun New Area, 30 branches of state-owned enterprises settled in the area, and 10 of the remaining Fortune 500 companies settled in the area. "
"The GDP of Changyun New District alone in the first quarter exceeded two-thirds of Changyun City. It is precisely because we see the huge potential of Changyun New District, its ability to attract enterprises and gather high-energy and efficient high-tech industrial clusters, that I just want to be promoted.”
"Of course, after the new district is upgraded, the hierarchical structure will be at the department level, and Changyun City will no longer interfere in the appointment of division-level cadres in the new district. In this way, personnel promotions and other matters will be decided by the new district's team."
"The new district can promote its own cadres, including full-time cadres and below. All it takes is to report to Changyun City. The personnel power will be more flexible and autonomous, which will help the development and formation of investment promotion, industrial clusters, high-tech and other industries in the new district. .”
Provincial Party Committee Secretary Shen Yujia quickly added something after hearing what Governor Wu Haichen said.
Bai Lao nodded slightly after listening to the words of Shen Yujia and Wu Haichen, the two main leaders in the province.
"You are just changing the soup without changing the medicine. Isn't it just to create a few more positions so that you can arrange the positions of some cadres in the province? This is also a real problem. Okay, Xiao Shen, you can go find someone with the xx area in a while. xxx."
"Just say what I said, this matter should be solved. Okay, let's eat. Let's not talk about other work while eating. Let's eat in peace. Pengfei, these two are the top leaders in our province. You have to toast them more. .”
Bai Lao glanced at Zhang Pengfei beside him and immediately smiled.
Zhang Pengfei was so encouraged by Mr. Bai that he immediately picked up the wine glass.
"Secretary, Governor, I would like to thank the two leaders for their concern and care for our grassroots cadres, so that we can have a direction and work hard to move forward in accordance with the decisions of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government. Respect the two heads, I will do it first, the two heads please random."
After saying this, Zhang Pengfei directly picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one sip.
Provincial Party Committee Secretary Shen Yujia and Governor Wu Haichen looked at Zhang Pengfei's honest appearance and smiled at each other. They refused to drink, which made Zhang Pengfei's heart beat.
"Pengfei, why don't you understand the rules at the bar? To propose a toast, especially when the two top leaders are here, you have to toast one by one, and you can't toast both leaders at the same time. Do you understand?"
At this time, Tang Jianguo, who was sitting opposite Zhang Pengfei, spoke directly, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"What's this? You two drink quickly. Pengfei is my granddaughter's son-in-law. They are both family members. We don't care about this."
Without even looking at his son-in-law Tang Jianguo, Mr. Bai spoke directly to Secretary Shen Yujia.
"Yes, they are all family members. Why are you so polite? Come on, Old Wu, let's have a drink with Pengfei."
Provincial Party Committee Secretary Shen Yujia quickly picked up his wine glass and drank one with Zhang Pengfei. The excitement in Zhang Pengfei's heart was really hard to express.
Since I was admitted to the civil service system, this is the first time I have had a drink with a major leader in the province.
"Secretary, I would like to propose a toast to you. Recently, the industrial field I am in charge of has been gaining momentum, especially the industrial development in Qingyang City, which has made a name for itself in the province. It is all under the leadership of the Secretary that our industrial eloquence has achieved such great results. results."
Tang Jianguo, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Vice Governor, was more sophisticated. While praising Shen Yujia, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, he clinked his glasses and drank it down.
"Lao Bai, our Zhonghai Province has developed rapidly in recent years. Compared with when you were here before, the pace has increased several times. At present, the most prominent cities in the province are Changyun and Qingyang, the provincial capitals."
