Chapter 32 Under the Halo
Zhong Yuejun doesn't drink much, but he can't push it off in this kind of scene today. Several subordinates who have always had close relationships should congratulate him alone. This is also the kind of person who is too pretentious, but it is not good. He is not the kind of person who is unrestrained.
The Spring Festival is still a few days away. Ling Zhengyue brought the new deputy secretary of the provincial party committee Bai Yiming and the provincial party committee secretary Yuan Zhijian and his party to Ningling to check the Ningling disaster. After watching it, a symposium was held in Ningling. Bai Yiming made his first speech at the meeting, encouraging Ningling City cadres and the masses to seize the opportunity, further reform and opening up, make every effort to attract investment, accelerate the pace of development, ensure that Ningling's position as the leader of prefecture-level cities in the inland areas is further consolidated, and lead a good lead for other prefecture-level cities.
A cold wind blew, which made Zhong Yuejun shiver, "Secretary Zhong, go back, the temperature is almost sub-zero today, beware of a cold."
"It's okay, I drank two more cups, and my body was hot." Zhong Yuejun waved his hand, took a deep breath, and then vomited a smog of white mist. The dim solar energy-saving lamp seemed to have not been very strong, but the defects in this dark night were very warm. Zhong Yuejun was in a very good mood at this time, and he even wanted to unzip the jacket.
The tall man next to him seemed to have noticed that Zhong Yuejun was in good mood at this time, so he didn't say anything. He just called Zhong Yuejun's secretary and asked the secretary to send Zhong Yuejun's windbreaker over.
"Pingyuan, what do you think of me? I can't resist this little wind?" Zhong Yuejun laughed, but he was still a little moved by the other party's concern.
"Hehe, it's okay. The wind is strong today. You have had two more drinks. It's not good to open it." The tall middle-aged man is deputy mayor Jia Pingyuan and smiled: "Everyone is very happy today. They are almost done now. I guess they will go to the singing room to yell a few times, why don't you go too?"
"Hey, do you know I'm not interested in that. Isn't this duck's voice ruining the microphone?" The relationship between Zhong Yuejun and Jia Pingyuan cannot be simply described as an ordinary municipal party secretary and deputy mayor. On the issue of Jia Pingyuan as deputy mayor, Zhong Yuejun denied the opinions of Jia Fengming and several other members of the Standing Committee, and tried to resist the opposition to let Jia Pingyuan go. Jia Pingyuan also knew this. He also knew that although he thought he was not bad at his ability, he was still worse than Tang Yaowen and Wei Xiaolan, but sometimes he could not be measured by this alone.
After Zhu Wenkui left, Wen Yanhua became a member of the Standing Committee of the Ningling Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor. He took over the work of Zhu Wenkui in charge, and the municipal government also made re-arrangements. Jia Pingyuan was in charge of the industrial and economic and technological development zone, which shows how Zhong Yuejun valued Jia Pingyuan.
"Secretary, sometimes it's good to vent and relax through this singing. I don't like singing, but this method is good to relieve stress. I've tried it." Jia Pingyuan said with a smile.
"Why, I feel that the work pressure is very high?" Zhong Yuejun glanced at Jia Pingyuan and said lightly.
"Hehe, Secretary Ling, a few days ago, Secretary Ling and his party came to our Ningling. Although Secretary Ling didn't say anything, Secretary Bai was very sarcastic. He was targeting our Ningling every bit. Can you still not hear it?" Jia Pingyuan smiled bitterly, "Secretary Bai is our old neighbor, and he is also a veteran in economics. I don't want other people to say anything. He is hitting us hard and not satisfied with the speed of our development in the past two years."
"Hmph, sit and talk without feeling the pain." Maybe he took a few more sips, and with Jia Pingyuan alone by his side, Zhong Yuejun, who had always been calm and gentle, also felt a little angry and said subconsciously, but immediately felt a little distorted and took it back calmly: "Secretary Bai has just come here and doesn't know the situation of our Anyuan. Although he is our neighbor, the situation in Ningling is different from their Hunan Province, especially now that Ningling has reached a certain height, it is not as simple as he imagined."
"But Secretary, I think our city is actually quite serious about some work. I am in charge of this, and our city is too harsh on some issues, especially..."
Jia Pingyuan wanted to say something again, but was interrupted by Zhong Yuejun, "Okay, Pingyuan, I know what you want to say. Don't think it's Feng Ming's meaning. Although I didn't say anything more on this issue, I can tell you that Feng Ming and I have the same opinions on this issue, such as the projects you want to talk about."
Jia Pingyuan was stunned and didn't say it for a long time. After a long time, he said, "You have the same opinion?"
Jia Pingyuan is still more principled. He would never go to Zhong Yuejun to say anything that was not approved at the Municipal Government Executive Meeting. Zhong Yuejun and Jiao Fengming get along well. It is rare for the secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor to have such tacit understanding, so he is even more reluctant to ask Zhong Yuejun for any work matters. This is one of the reasons why Zhong Yuejun appreciates him.
Tonight he just wanted to take this opportunity to express his attitude implicitly and tactfully, but unexpectedly he was pointed out by Zhong Yuejun in one sentence, which surprised him greatly.
"Pingyuan, you must learn to observe the situation, especially the political situation. I refer to the trends of the senior management." Zhong Yuejun pondered for a while before slowly saying: "The sign established by Governor Zhao of Ningling City, to put it bluntly, that is, his face has developed slowly. Why are Governor Zhao not in a hurry? They are anxious?"
Jia Pingyuan was stunned, shook his head, expressing confusion. Indeed, Zhao Guodong started his career in Ningling and became a deputy provincial level with Ningling's excellent performance. It is even said that even the appointment of the National Development and Reform Commission was because the central government recognized his outstanding achievements as the secretary of the municipal party committee in Ningling. Ningling's development speed has slowed down significantly in the past two years, but he has never heard of Governor Zhao's opinion on this. It turned out that it was fine, after all, he did not work in Anyuan, but now Zhao Guodong is the governor and still remains the same. The person in front of him seems to be still slowly advancing his work according to the established policy, without any influence from the outside world.
"Pingyuan, Governor Zhao has exchanged opinions with me many times on the development of our Ningling. If we really want to make a fuss about the GDP, I can say a big deal. As long as we lower the threshold and loosen the standard of some rigid regulations, it is no problem to increase foreign investment by 30 to 50 billion in the past two or three years? It is not difficult to increase the GDP growth rate by two or three percentage points, but why would we rather have a higher threshold and stricter regulations?" Zhong Yuejun, who stood on the river bank with his hands behind his back, seemed very confident. "It's nothing, because we are Ningling, we are different from other cities. We already have a good industrial foundation. There is no need to ignore it like other places and even make some sacrifices to achieve this GDP growth rate. Ningling must have a unique image, and Ningling's development model must also be unique and become a model for the whole province and even the central and western regions."
Jia Pingyuan looked complicated and said slowly after a long time: "Is this Governor Zhao's idea?"
"Well, I used to be a little conflicted. I also felt that Ningling's growth rate had suddenly dropped as the secretary of the municipal party committee. I was dissatisfied with both the face and the impression of the superiors. Hehe, at that time, Secretary Ling once criticized Ningling without naming, believing that we were not enough in some policies and strengths and were too conservative. I had also been entangled and even felt very depressed for a while." Zhong Yuejun seemed very calm in Jia Pingyuan.
"But after exchanging opinions with Governor Zhao several times, Lao Jiao and I still firmly firmly our own opinions. Even if we are under some pressure for this, we firmly believe that based on the facts of our Ningling and our own path, we also believe that in the end, the province will see the achievements of Ningling in the end."
Jia Pingyuan noticed that after Zhong Yuejun said this, he still subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that Zhong Yuejun was not as relaxed as he said himself on this issue.
Even with Zhao Guodong's support, it is obvious that Bai Yiming's view on this issue is different from Zhao Guodong. Ling Zhengyue had already expressed a very clear attitude in the early stage. If there is another stir on this issue, although Zhong Yuejun has become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, it does not mean that he has the capital to resist.
"Secretary, I know what you mean. The central government now advocates sustainable development, and the issue of people's livelihood has now raised a higher level. As the vanguard of Anyuan's economy, our Ningling should also be ahead of the province in the development of social undertakings." Jia Pingyuan carefully said, "But the development of social undertakings requires a strong financial foundation as a backing. Now we invest a lot in education, medical care, social security and public utilities every year, and it is increasing every year. However, our Ningling is different from other cities and cities. The land income is far less than that of other cities and cities, and comes from taxation. In other words, reality requires that our tax revenues have a significant increase every year. If the growth rate of our industry continues to decline like this, I am a little worried."
Zhong Yuejun nodded silently, Jia Pingyuan was also telling the truth. Ningling's economic growth has not been slow in recent years, but it is far less than the growth rate of fiscal expenditure. Executive Vice Mayor Gu Yongbin has raised objections to the Standing Committee on this issue many times, believing that if this continues, Ningling's finance, which has always been in good financial situation, will also fall into a desperate situation. He asked the municipal party committee to seriously study the issue of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, especially considering the extra-budgetary income issue, and the goal is directly aimed at land income. On this issue, the city is also very controversial.
