Chapter 99: East and West Wind

The conversation with Deng Ruoxian basically achieved the expected results, but Zhao Guodong still felt some pressure. Whether Huaiqing's economy can reach the step described in urban planning is a question, otherwise it will be as big and unreasonable as Deng Ruoxian said, which is a question that everyone can use to question publicly.

Deng Ruoxian proposed that it is best to divide this planning plan into two stages to refine it so that it can be adapted to Huaiqing's economic development, which may be easier to convince everyone to accept it. This suggestion made Zhao Guodong feel feasible. After all, too distant ideas can easily make people fall into nothingness. If a relatively short-term goal can be achieved, it can greatly enhance the persuasiveness and credibility of this plan.

Just as Zhao Guodong and Xu Qiao were launching a lobbying offensive in a intensive manner, Lu Qiuchen was acting unwillingly.

Xu Luping was the first to win the Allied Army. Originally, Xu Luping was very disgusted with the planning proposal proposed by Xu Qiao, thinking that it was inoperable and unrealistic, and that it would only waste people and waste financial funds. Lu Qiuchen took the banner, so he naturally stood on Lu Qiuchen's side.

Lu Qiuchen then exchanged views with Li Changjiang and Gu Xiaopeng, but the effect was not as effective as he received more support from Liu Lianchang, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. Li and Gu also expressed some doubts about Xu Qiao's plan, but it was not strong. He just said that further understanding and verification was needed. However, Liu Lianchang made a rare statement that this urban planning plan was even better than the coastal cities and far exceeded the actual development of Huaiqing.

For a time, this topic in the municipal party committee and government was unprecedentedly popular, and almost everyone's attention was mobilized by this topic. Especially after Xu Qiao's detailed draft of the planning plan was taken out, it became the hottest topic in the municipal party committee and government.

"To some extent, this has become a weather vane." Gui Quanyou smiled gently and put down the teacup in his hand.

"Oh?" Zhao Guodong was a little surprised. Then he understood the meaning of Gui Quanyou's words, "Are you talking about a fight between me and Lu Qiuchen?"

"Well, maybe you didn't mean it, but in the eyes of many people, you can't think so."

Gui Quanyou was wearing a wide twill shirt, but no tie, and a pair of ironed trousers seemed to make him several years younger. After becoming the acting county magistrate, Gui Quanyou also became more energetic and looked much more careful than before. He was a deputy secretary-general and looked a little old-fashioned when he was wearing it, but now he looks much more energetic in the county.

"Hmph, the mediocre people disturb themselves." Zhao Guodong smiled faintly, not commenting.

"No, Mayor Zhao, I don't think this is a mediocre person." Gui Quanyou said seriously: "You have just come up and are still acting mayor, and it has only been less than two years since you came to Huaiqing. Lu Qiuchen is a native Huaiqing cadre. He has served as a member of the Standing Committee for many years and has served as the Organization Minister for a term. It can be said that his connections are stronger than you. The most important thing is that he is very favored by Secretary Chen. If Mayor Xu's urban planning was just a purely work difference, then it is now very popular, involving so many leaders' different views and opinions on this plan, and the two parties are clearly distinguished, then we must consider whether this plan can be obtained through the political significance."

Zhao Guodong still didn't say anything, just looked at the documents in his hand quietly.

"I know you don't want to fight for anything deliberately about these things, especially if you are tangled with too many factors other than work, but sometimes you can't help you. Didn't Mao say that? It's either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. This sentence is very true in many cases." Gui Quanyou said in a deep voice: "If this plan cannot be passed, then it will undoubtedly increase the prestige of others and destroy your ambition. It is absolutely inappropriate for you who will be elected by the National Congress at the end of the year."

Zhao Guodong laughed, "Quanyou, I seem to feel deeply when I see you going to the county for so long. Are you not getting along with Lao Gu?"

"No, no, that's not the case. Secretary Gu's level is very high. I went to learn from him and was familiar with work. He also took good care of me and helped me a lot at work. I learned a lot from him." Gui Quanyou knew that no matter what the relationship between him and Gu Yongbin had, he would never be exposed at this time. This is a denial of his ability.

"Hmph, the east wind overwhelms the west wind, and the west wind overwhelms the east wind. That's what the old man described in the conflict between the enemy and me. Lu Qiuchen and I are not in such a situation where water and fire are incompatible. Some differences in work will always be infinitely amplified by some boring people. All friends, I don't want to hear similar remarks here." Zhao Guodong said with a serious face: "You are in Guining, I have high hopes for you. Gu Yongbin is now a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and a city leader. Guining is currently in good development and he has made great contributions. You must learn more from him and work hard to build a good team unity."

"As for these things in the city, don't pay too much attention to them, I know how to deal with them." Zhao Guodong paused and said, "The two districts of Huaizhou and Qingzhou have been developing very strongly in the past six months, especially relying on the development of the development zone, they are not willing to be outdone and have great actions. When you come to Guining, on the one hand, you must respect Lao Gu, but on the other hand, as the acting county magistrate, you must also come up with your own ideas and seek Lao Gu's support. You must strive to use your Guining's special geographical location advantages to make achievements in attracting investment. Otherwise, if Guining, the city's first economic output, was taken away by Huaizhou or Qingzhou, by Huaizhou or Qingzhou, I'm afraid you will not be able to explain to the municipal party committee and the people of the county."

Seeing that Zhao Guodong had distracted the topic and pointed it to him, Gui Quanyou realized that his words had gone too far and some things could not be expressed in words. It would be unbeautiful to say that they would look up, so he took advantage of the situation and turned the topic aside. Mayor Zhao was no longer Wu Xia Ameng, and his cunning was much deeper than before. It was difficult to feel his true feelings in his heart, unless he really wanted to reveal something.

The municipal government office meeting had a clear attitude. After Xu Qiao revised the entire urban planning plan, the revised plan received full support from Deng Ruoxian and Anran, and Qian Yuanhui and Li Changjiang also expressed their support.

Gu Xiaopeng made technical suggestions on some details of the plan, but finally expressed support. Only Lu Qiuchen and Xu Luping expressed opposition, and finally passed the plan in Zhao Guodong's fair and peaceful statement.

Lu Qiuchen seemed very calm, which was completely different from the attitude at that office meeting. He seemed to have expected this result a long time ago.

In fact, Li Changjiang and Qian Yuanhui have an ambiguous attitude and he knew that it would be difficult for him to win at the municipal government office meeting. Although Zhao Guodong was just an acting mayor, he was in charge of the municipal government work, and he squeezed out Tan Lifeng. With this alone, no one would easily vote for himself before Secretary Chen made a clear statement.

The Municipal Government Office is just a prelude. Lu Qiuchen also frankly stated before the end of the office meeting that he retained his opinion, which means that he may insist on his own objection at the Standing Committee.

The Guangben Accord in front turned lightly into the quiet alley next to it.

Zhao Guodong was a little surprised. Shuijing Lane was also called the Standing Committee Lane. Except for the family of a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee who died of illness while in office, he still lived in this alley. The other residents living in this alley are currently members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Once they no longer hold their current positions, these people will move out of this place quietly.

No one forced anyone to move out of here, but no one was willing to continue living here without serving as a member of the Standing Committee. Some people said that this was the strong power pressure in this alley that made ordinary people suffocate and would rather move out of here than to bear this pressure. For example, Pan Yuanchao, former member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization, served as deputy secretary of the Party Committee and executive deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress, but he moved to the National People's Congress as soon as possible after he arrived at the National People's Congress.

The license plate number of the Guangben Accord is very familiar, it is An L-00039. A batch of new cars bought by the Huaiqing Municipal Government in early 2000. It mainly improved the office conditions of the municipal government and was rated to the five deputy mayors at that time, Deng Ruoxian, Qian Yuanhui, Xu Qiao, An Ran, and Li Changjiang, one of them. The No. 39 car in Huaiqing City is An Ran's car, and An Ran often drives by himself, and the driver only drives for her during working hours.

Generally speaking, it is a taboo to come to the provincial leaders' homes that do not receive cadres below. Shuijing Lane is separated by a wall from the provincial party committee courtyard, and even the provincial party committee has a back door directly to Shuijing Lane. The leaders' offices also have duplex suites for accommodation and rest. Therefore, generally speaking, except for people walking around during the Chinese New Year, few people from below usually go here.

How could An Ran go to Shuijing Lane at this time? Zhao Guodong looked at his watch and it was almost twelve o'clock. It seemed intriguing to go at this time. Could it be that he went to any leader for lunch?
