Cao Lang's small home is near Fuxingmen, not far from where he works.

When Lu Weimin was assisting Tibet, Cao Lang also went to the local level for training. He served as deputy mayor of Qinhuangdao City in Hebei Province for two years. He returned to the Central Propaganda Department at the end of 2002 and officially served as deputy director of the General Office of the Central Propaganda Department.

.

This is quite a promotion. At the age of thirty-six, taking up such a prominent position as deputy director of the General Office of the Central Propaganda Department, in addition to his family background and connections, is also inseparable from Cao Lang's own work and conduct.

Compared with Cao Lang in his college days, Cao Lang is much more mature now, and he treats people rationally and well-founded. It is said that he is very trusted by the director of the general office. Although he is the last deputy director, his age and ability are enough to explain a lot.

Already.

Cao Lang got married slightly later than Lu Weimin. He also got married in 2000. His wife now works in the Ministry of Finance. Lu Weimin was working in Tibetan areas for training at the time. He didn't have time to go, but Lu Zhihua gave him a generous gift. Later, he ended up working in Tibet.

Afterwards, he took time to go to the capital and invited the couple out for a meal as an apology.

This is the first time that Lu Weimin has come to Cao Lang's home. In today's interpersonal relationships, most interactions are outside. Unless there is a very special relationship, it is basically difficult to enter the other party's home. Of course, Lu Weimin and Cao Lang are not close.

Same, so Cao Lang also let Lu Weimin into his home.

"Is it particularly stressful to be the secretary of the municipal party committee?" Cao Lang also knew that Lu Weimin had just returned to Songzhou. After all, he had been away for three years. No matter how familiar the place was, with the current development momentum, three years would be enough to turn the sea into a wasteland, and Changjiang

At this time, the Provincial Party Committee has returned Lu Weimin to the position of Secretary of the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee. Obviously, it is not to let you enjoy the blessings, but to shoulder the burden.

"These days, which profession is not stressful?" Lu Weimin didn't complain, but said calmly: "Everyone feels that I have made a big step forward. I have only been mayor for two years and became the municipal party committee secretary. This is a big bargain.

, but there is no such thing as a pie in this world. There must be a mousetrap behind the big deal. If you put your hand over it, you can’t even think about pulling away."

Hearing Lu Weimin describe himself like this, Cao Lang was also happy, "Weimin, do you speak like this? Is it wrong for the Changjiang Provincial Committee to appoint you as the secretary of the Songzhou Municipal Committee? Or is it harming you?"

"That's not true. I just want to make it clear that you have to work wherever you go. Don't expect it to be easy." Lu Weimin didn't take it seriously. "You know the situation in Songzhou. Didn't you come here a few years ago?

The development speed has been relatively fast in recent years, but it has slowed down in the past year, so the province can't sit still. After all, Songzhou also wants to carry the banner in their minds. Songzhou's economy is sluggish, which will have a negative impact on the whole province.

The drag is also quite big, so we can’t stop and we have to move forward faster.”

"I have learned about the situation in Songzhou. Some problems have arisen. The matter of the Topology Group has implicated your Songzhou and created a big hole. It has deeply troubled your Songzhou, right? This situation is

There are many in the country, who knew you Songzhou would be shot." Cao Lang works in the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and is well-informed. It is certainly very convenient to know the situation. Therefore, the situation in Songzhou cannot be hidden from him.

"I can't blame anyone. I still lack some experience. In addition, Topology Group's early performance was too good. Somersaults are inevitable." Lu Weimin did not want to talk more about this issue and got to the point, "When I came to Beijing this time,

A few things, one is to go home and meet you by the way, and the other is a few things, business matters, I want to ask you for help and reference to see if there is any way or method."

"How many?" Cao Lang was angry and funny, "I mean, you are so warm and friendly, and you even get these two cans of wine. There are several things at the beginning. Things that even your municipal party committee secretary can't handle, it's not cheap.

Yes, it must be a difficult matter, do you treat me too much as a friend?"

"Do I have any special friends in Beijing? Who could I look for if I didn't look for you? Of course, I have to look for Brother Liu. I have several things in hand, all of which are urgent. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do this on National Day.

You brought a large group of people to Beijing during the holidays." Lu Weimin spread his hands, "I have no choice but to blame you for making careless friends."

"Tell me, what's the matter? I think you have to bother the second master. I can help you as much as possible. If I can't help you, I will also help you find out the secrets. Brother Liu, that's your own relationship. This

In recent years, have you been in closer contact with Brother Liu than with me?" Cao Lang said with a smile.

Cao Lang was also very proud that Lu Weimin could maintain a close relationship with Liu Bin.

His brother-in-law's eyesight is higher than the top, and he usually doesn't show any signs of dealing with others. However, Cao Lang knows that there are not many people who can catch his eyes, but Lu Weimin was able to build a very harmonious relationship with his brother-in-law a few years ago.

, although there are his own factors involved, but the most important thing is Lu Weimin's own ability. Of course, Lu Weimin's performance is also worthy of his brother-in-law's high opinion. It is frustrating to think about it. This guy has no background in his family.

Working as a secretary for a prefectural party committee secretary, and being able to become a department-level cadre with less than thirty years of salary is shocking even when you think about it.

"Hey, Cao Lang, everyone has their own business. Brother Liu and I have hit it off. You and I are just classmates. There is no comparison." Lu Weimin didn't care: "The first thing, you know we have to do it in Songzhou in October.

A clothing and apparel expo is going to hold a cultural evening. A performing arts company in Beijing is helping us organize it, but there are still one or two big names to come to the stage. It may be a bit troublesome. It's not a matter of money, but mainly because people can't see it.

When I go to our little place in Songzhou, I feel like I'm losing my place and I don't want to come, so I have to find you."

"Looking for a big shot?" Cao Lang couldn't laugh or cry. He thought what was going on, but it turned out that he wanted to hire a celebrity. For him who works in the Central Propaganda Department, this kind of thing is too ordinary, "Who?"

Seeing Cao Lang's casual look, Lu Weimin also smiled and said two names. Cao Lang's expression was a bit exciting, "Hey, Weimin, your appetite is too high, right? Invite them both, what have you already invited?

people?"

Lu Weimin briefly introduced him again, and Cao Lang's face became even weirder, "Weimin, don't you understand the rules of the king not meeting the king? There was some rift between the two of them many years ago, and it was impossible for them to meet at a meeting. This is

It’s going to defy heaven.”

"It's not that exaggerated, there is some resentment, but I understand that the rumors outside are a bit too exaggerated. The king can't see the king, let alone they can't meet each other. Everyone sings two songs and leaves. You know, our expo

, the first one is not well-known, so it is necessary to build a bigger momentum and lay a good foundation for the next one. Songzhou is an inland city and has a small reputation. To attract more outside attention, some extraordinary means must be used, so

All aspects must be considered in detail." Lu Weimin said calmly.

"You are thoughtful enough." Cao Lang also knew some of the situation and nodded, "I'll help you ask about this matter. If that doesn't work, I can only ask an acquaintance from the Literature and Art Bureau to help. It's a no-brainer.

These people may not buy the favor of the people in the ministry. Don’t think that the Central Propaganda Department can handle everything.”

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Lu Weimin didn't mind. It would be great if he could invite two people. If not, it would be the finale if he could at least invite one. "Also, can you help me give some advice to a few people in Beijing?"

Let the media talk about it and help give some attention to this section, no matter how big or small it is."

"I can contact you on this, it's not a big problem." Cao Lang can still guarantee this issue. The general office has many contacts with major media, and asks these media to help provide a lens or space according to the situation.

Let me tell you, this doesn't seem to be a big problem.

"The second thing is more troublesome, which is the 800,000-ton ethylene project. We in Songzhou are determined to win it." Lu Weimin took a deep breath. Qin Baohua was taking the route of the National Development and Reform Commission, but the feedback was not very optimistic, mainly because of this

The project belongs to Sinopec, and Sinopec has great decision-making power internally, especially when Wuhan is more competitive.

Lu Weimin called Cao Lang in advance and discussed the issue of the 800,000-ton ethylene project. Cao Lang did not make a clear stance. Lu Weimin knew it was difficult, but he still wanted to win. If you don't win, how would you know it wouldn't work?

Cao Lang's face changed slightly, and he was silent for a long time. After a while, he slowly said: "I have learned about it since you called me. The project you mentioned does exist, but it is still in the brewing stage. Say it quickly.

It's fast, it's slow, it depends on Sinopec's own considerations, but you should know something about their person in charge at Sinopec, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with people like him, huh, the industry's evaluation,..."

Lu Weimin nodded slightly. In his previous life, he knew that the guy had capsized, but now that the other person was still at the helm, and this project was extremely important to the development of Songzhou, he had to take this step, "I know, but we can't stop eating because of choking."

Right? The road has been made by everyone step by step. Since this project exists, it means there will always be a place to settle. I hope it is us in Songzhou. No matter what method we adopt, we must work hard."

Cao Lang took a deep look at Lu Weimin. He knew that Lu Weimin must have been prepared to say this. He may have even considered some issues, but he just said it very vaguely, "Have you thought about it clearly?"

"Well, don't worry, Cao Lang, I won't do things that go beyond the bottom line, but I think there are some things that can be flexible. I won't do it. Songzhou cadres won't do it. As for other things, I can't control it.

..." Lu Weimin paused, as if he was considering his words, "It is a commercial project in itself, and it will always involve some cooperative enterprises. If we win over Songzhou, of course Songzhou is willing to give us the greatest support and commitment."

Lu Weimin's words were very vague, but Cao Lang could understand that this guy wanted to clear things up, but he also wanted to achieve his goal, that is, he had to take a different path.
