Section 7: One step and three thousand miles

Zhao Guodong's emotional words made Zhong Yuejun and Jiao Fengming feel warm. Three years, no matter how long it is, no matter how short it is, the ups and downs of the past three years have risen silently in the hearts of the three people and cannot be gone.

From the mutual suspicion when he first came to the gradual harmony, to the final tacit understanding, the three witnessed the rise of Ningling, from an Anyuan border town, to Anyuan Shenzhen, the history of breaking through 100 billion is clearly visible, but now the helmsman is about to leave. Next, this heavy burden will be handed over to the remaining two. Ningling's big ship will continue to set sail, continue to ride the wind and waves, and continue to create glory.

There are all banquets in the world and officials who are fighting in the iron yamen. Although everyone knows that this moment is inevitable, at this moment, the taste in my heart is sweet, bitter and spicy, and I only know it.

Zhao Guodong found that his words touched both Zhong Yuejun and Jiao Fengming. This is the deep friendship formed at work, which will last forever.

Although when he was the municipal party committee, everyone still had their own opinions and even small circles of interests, at least everyone has achieved that in the general principle, there is no limit to the boundaries, and no one is perfect. Zhao Guodong is already very satisfied to be able to do this. This is a model team that is united, harmonious and combat-oriented, otherwise Ning Ling would not have achieved such a success.

"It seems that I am a little sentimental and have ruined your mood. I will leave this game of chess to you. To be honest, I am also walking with confidence." Zhao Guodong smiled, wanting to get rid of this melancholy, "But I also exchanged views on Dongliu*** and Governor Haoran. Don't expect Ningling to maintain a growth rate of more than 100% as before the previous two years. That is neither possible nor normal. If we can maintain this gradual decreasing rate of 50% to 30% in the next three years, I think this is another brilliant achievement. It can even be said that the glory of more than 100% of our achievements in the previous two years is more worthy of boasting. Fortunately, Dongliu*** and Governor Haoran are very clear about this point, and they also agree with my point of view. The key to the next step is seven words: implementation, implementation, and implementation!"

Zhao Guodong's words made Zhong Yuejun and Jiao Fengming nodded silently to agree. This was also the consensus of the three. At present, the investment and projects entering Ningling are surging and diverse. To be precise, Ningling has entered a new stage of investment promotion. The investment promotion work is still active, but it is indeed targeted. The Ningling Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government still spare no effort for those projects and investments that Ningling urgently needs, but they need to carefully screen each enterprise and project that is currently flocking to.

Neither the investment is turned off and the enthusiasm of investors is hurt, but it cannot be included in the pocket without discernment. The supply of resources in each place is limited within a period of time. How to discover and choose suitable Ningling in these investment projects, which are beneficial to Ningling's future development and enhance Ningling's competitiveness are the first choices for Ningling and all interference must be eliminated. Only by distinguishing the primary and secondary can we develop better.

"Zhao***, we know what we should do in the next step of our work, so don't worry. Feng Ming and I will never be a prodigal son. We can only carry forward this foundation and will never be overshadowed." Zhong Yuejun also knew that it was time to express his opinion. He could understand Zhao Guodong's reluctance to leave, but he was also full of confidence in the future.

"Hehe, Yuejun, don't say it, I just love to listen to your words, so I can sleep well." Zhao Guodong looked at his watch and sighed: "Minister Han and the others will come after a while. I don't know if the Organization Department has a conclusion on the candidate for the deputy *** of the Municipal Party Committee."

Both Zhong Yuejun and Jiao Fengming were shocked. Although the provincial party committee made it clear that Zhong Yuejun and Jiao Fengming succeeded the municipal party committee *** and mayor respectively, there was no clear idea about the candidates for deputy *** of the municipal party committee. After Jiao Fengming took office as acting mayor, his focus of work will quickly shift to the government, and this deputy *** of the municipal party committee who is also at stake is very important.

Zhao Guodong also noticed the expressions of the two and waved his hand gently: "Yue Jun, Feng Ming, don't be so nervous, and don't just show weakness to the cadres coming from outside, just as a roadblock that will hinder the development of our Ningling. Yue Jun, don't you think about it, three years ago, aren't you and I also foreign officials, aren't they also foreign households in the minds of local cadres in Ningling? How can history prove that all this is not?"

"Haha, Minister Zhao, Zhong***, you two have long been completely Ningling people. I, the Ningling people who were born and raised in the previous three generations, can guarantee this. When I go to the bottom, I have never heard of the saying that there are foreign cadres and local cadres in our Ningling Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government." Jiao Fengming smiled.

"Isn't this a matter of unity? Our cadres come from all over the world. For a common goal, Chairman Mao has said this long ago that we should oppose mountain doctrine and form cliques. This is the purpose of the Party managing cadres and using cadres. At least I think I have always insisted like this during my time in Ningling. Yuejun, now it's your turn." Zhao Guodong smiled, "Didn't Lao Bao do a good job in our municipal party committee? Are Wen Yanhua and Cheng Shuhe also bad? If these cadres are used well, they can greatly reduce your work pressure. I won't say much. I believe that each family has its own methods to practice."

Zhong Yuejun and Jiao Fengming both nodded and said yes.

"I told the Provincial Party Committee that Zeng Lingchun and Luneng, but I guess the Provincial Party Committee needs to consider comprehensively and will not touch them for the time being. I guess the possibility of being sent out is the greatest." Zhao Guodong did not have any obscureness in front of Zhong Yuejun and Jiao Fengming, "But this has little impact. As long as you are there, I believe that the Ningling banner will not fall, but will only rise higher and higher. I have a real expectation in private that under the leadership of you two, Ningling's total economic output will surpass Andu in two or three years and become the leader of our Anyuan!"

Zhao Guodong's last sentence already had some expression of unlimited expectation.

Beyond Andu? Zhong Yuejun and Jiao Fengming both looked at each other with bitter smiles.

Before leaving, Zhao Guodong gave himself such an expectation.

Andu’s GDP this year is more than 230 billion. Although its development has stagnated in the past few years, the foundation is here. In addition, after Guan Jingshan is the mayor, Andu’s economy has improved a little. Ningling is now less than half of the other party. If Andu continues to be depressed, Ningling will maintain a growth rate of 30 to 50% in the next few years. However, once Andu truly gets rid of the sluggishness and returns to normal growth momentum, even if it maintains the average growth rate in the whole province, it will be unthinkable to catch up in three to five years.

"Minister Zhao, you want to force Zhong*** and me to death. An is the economic and cultural center of our province. If you really want to take off its top hat, can the province agree?" Jiao Fengming said with a wry smile.

"Hehe, Fengming, what are you saying? What does the province mean? Can the province agree? If it doesn't develop An, is it not allowed to develop other cities? I think it would be a good thing to really do this. At least it can whip Andu, the stupid cow, and wake it up from its sleep. If our Anyuan economy wants to compete with Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang, Henan, and Hebei provinces, it is impossible for An to move. This is the consensus of the province." Zhao Guodong shook his head, "Forget it, I'm just talking about it, but I really hope that in three or five years, Anyuan economy can enter the top four in the country, or even the top three. In this way, I, a cadre who has gone out of Anyuan, will have a bright face, right?"

The city-wide cadre meeting was held very grandly. Han Du, member of the Standing Committee of the Anyuan Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization, read out the decisions of the Central Committee and the Anyuan Provincial Party Committee on behalf of the Anyuan Provincial Party Committee.

On behalf of the provincial party committee, Han Du also gave high praise and affirmation to Zhao Guodong during his three years of working in Ningling, and wished Zhao Guodong smooth sailing after taking a new position. On behalf of the new municipal party committee and government team, Zhong Yuejun also expressed his sincere gratitude and good wishes to Zhao Guodong, the former municipal party committee member. He expressed his sincere gratitude and good wishes to Zhao Guodong, the former municipal party committee. He expressed his unswervingly promoted the development of various social and economic undertakings and defended Ningling's achievements and glory.

Zhao Guodong also made a brief and affectionate speech, saying that the six years from 1995 to 1998 and 2002 to 2005 were the most precious six years of his life. It was the six years of working in Ningling that allowed him to grow from an ordinary cadre, and it was Ningling's leaders, colleagues and the masses who were selflessly helping and support that enabled him to grow from a young boy who knew nothing to become a party leader. For this, he also stood up and bowed to express his sincere gratitude to his colleagues present.

After the meeting, Han Du also had a short conversation with Zhao Guodong, congratulating Zhao Guodong on his appointment as the Organization Minister of the Southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and his colleagues. He also invited Zhao Guodong to lead colleagues from the Organization Department of the Southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee to Anyuan as a guest at the right time. Zhao Guodong also happily accepted the invitation.

This step was three thousand miles away. Zhao Guodong, who was sitting in the Costa station wagon, could not help but see the scenery flying and retreating. He couldn't help but blur his eyes. He condensed too many memories and feelings here, and left a rich stroke for himself. How should he describe the next stroke?
