Chapter 1226 Taking a seat
Xu Chunliang said: "What do you think Secretary Zhang's intention is to treat guests?"
Jiang Qiyong said: "Just to make your presence felt, tell him that I have arrangements." He felt a little unhappy. One of the reasons was that Zhang Song's invitation was too sudden. Another reason was the lack of sincerity. I won't be direct if you invite me. Come here and say something, you can just make a phone call, but you actually send the message through Xu Chunliang, do you really think that you are my leader? Now the person appointed by the leader to take charge of the work is me, okay?
Xu Chunliang told Jiang Qiyong about Zhang Song's request to change offices. Jiang Qiyong was amused by Zhang Song's request. Although the matter was not serious, Zhang Song did not know what his thoughts were for making such a request at this sensitive moment. Jiang Qiyong asked Xu Chunliang to figure it out. He couldn't object publicly anyway.
Xu Chunliang is still not sure that Zhang Song will definitely rise to the top. It is Jiang Qiyong's freedom to give Zhang Song face or not, and he can't say much.
Xu Chunliang himself will definitely go there. He has a hunch that the Civil Affairs Bureau is going to change again. Zhang Song will become the new owner of this place in a few days, otherwise his attitude will not be so proactive.
Xu Chunliang contacted Qin Zhengyang, who was still in the capital, and wanted to get some information from him. Qin Zhengyang didn't know about it, and Secretary Wang didn't mention it anyway.
Xu Chunliang went to the canteen of the welfare home half an hour early. The director of the welfare home, Zhang Shunda, had already made preparations. When he saw Xu Chunliang's car coming in, he personally led him to the parking space and took the initiative to help Xu Chunliang open the car door: "Director Xu , it’s early enough.”
Xu Chunliang said: “The leader must be proactive when treating guests.”
Zhang Shunda said: "Secretary Zhang is not here. I heard that several major leaders in our bureau are coming tonight."
Xu Chunliang said: "I don't know. Secretary Zhang didn't tell me who he wanted to invite." He only knew that Jiang Qiyong was invited, but Jiang Qiyong was unwilling to come.
Zhang Shunda said: "I went to the market to buy all the food today. Our bureau has been in a troubled period recently. I always pedal three wheels when I go out to buy food, so as not to make irresponsible remarks."
Xu Chunliang laughed. Zhang Shunda is an old man from the Civil Affairs Bureau. It was once rumored that this guy was likely to be promoted to deputy bureau. However, his name did not appear in the subsequent adjustments. Now he is still staying in the welfare home without any problems. His ability to deal with people is also very good. Same as usual.
Xu Chunliang said deliberately: "Zhang Yuan and Secretary Zhang are familiar with each other, right?"
Zhang Shunda is not shy about this topic: "Old friends, our surname is Zhang, and we were a family five hundred years ago."
Xu Chunliang laughed. Zhang Shunda asked him to sit inside first. The tea had been brewed. Xu Chunliang was the only one coming. Xu Chunliang noticed that the second largest private room in the canteen was used. This private room could seat twelve people. If Zhang Song killed all the main cadres of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he would probably be able to sit down.
Zhang Shunda sat with Xu Chunliang, and the conversation between the two inevitably came to Wang Tongan's matter.
Zhang Shunda said: "Do you know that Wang Ju was double-regulated?"
Xu Chunliang said: "I just heard that it is a matter of lifestyle."
Zhang Shunda sighed and said: "Qin Yujiao resigned and left. I didn't expect that the past things would be uncovered. Now the discipline inspection is getting more and more severe, and there is zero tolerance for disciplinary violations."
Xu Chunliang said: "I remember we had a drink here last time, and Song Xinyu was at the same table."
Zhang Shunda looked around the private room. Xu Chunliang's memories made him feel a little uncomfortable. Two of the people at the same table had already been investigated for disciplinary violations, and the accident rate was a bit too high.
Xu Chunliang said deliberately: "Let's change rooms."
Zhang Shunda agreed with Xu Chunliang's idea and immediately called the waiter over and asked them to move to another room.
Xu Chunliang thought that the relationship between Zhang Shunda and Zhang Song should be very unusual. Zhang Shunda had most likely got the news first, moved to the next room and sat down again, and said tentatively: "Zhang Yuan, what do you think our Civil Affairs Bureau will do this time?" changes?”
Zhang Shunda said: "We all work according to orders. Changes in leadership are a matter from above. We all obey orders and follow orders no matter who comes."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Zhang Yuan has seen it thoroughly. By the way, do you think Jiang Bureau can correct it this time?"
Zhang Shunda said: "Isn't he presiding over the work now? Why don't you go back and wait for Secretary Zhang to come and ask?"
Xu Chunliang said: "It's not easy for me to ask."
Zhang Shunda smiled and said, "What's the problem? You and Secretary Zhang have known each other for many years, right?"
Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "When he was working as Secretary Zhou's secretary, when did you meet?"
Zhang Shunda said: "It must have been twenty years. Secretary Zhang is here. I will pick him up."
Xu Chunliang looked out the window, and a black Haval drove in.
Xu Chunliang put down his teacup and followed Zhang Shunda to welcome him out.
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Secretary Zhang, the car belongs to my mother. I can't afford it with my small salary."
Zhang Song said: "It's good to have rich parents." Zhang Shunda came over and took the briefcase from his hand. Zhang Song said: "How many are here?"
Zhang Shunda glanced at Xu Chunliang, and his meaning was very clear. Xu Chunliang himself is here now.
Zhang Song smiled and said: "It seems that everyone is not very active." He invited eight guests tonight, and except for Xu Chunliang, no one else gave him face, including Jiang Qiyong.
Coming to the room, Zhang Song looked at the big table in the middle.
Zhang Shunda said: "Secretary Zhang, why don't I tell the kitchen to make the dishes as delicate as possible." He said it more euphemistically, but what he actually meant was that if no one you invited came, there is no need to serve so many dishes. , it is also a waste.
Zhang Song said: "Just keep the original arrangement unchanged."
He went to sit down at the coffee table, took the tea cup from Zhang Shunda, took a sip of tea and said, "I can't even get enough people to play cards."
Zhang Shunda said: "Secretary Zhang wants to play cards and I want to find a temporary partner." The welfare home has a lot of talent reserves in this area.
Zhang Song shook his head and said, "No, Xiao Xu, are you sure Jiang Qiyong won't come?"
Xu Chunliang said: "He has other plans tonight."
Zhang Song asked Zhang Shunda, "Have you notified Zhong Mingyan?"
Zhang Shunda said: "She said she felt unwell."
Zhang Song chuckled and said: "Qin Yujiao is her good friend, so her mood must have been affected." He put down the tea cup in his hand, glanced at Xu Chunliang and Zhang Shunda and said, "This is the reality in the system."
Zhang Song is qualified to say this. When he was still working as a secretary next to Secretary Zhou, no one in Dongzhou's leading cadres, big or small, could give him any favor. After Secretary Zhou went to the province, he served as the high-tech zone Senior party officials also enjoyed a period of being cheered and supported by others. Looking at the dilemma of no one to support him, Zhang Song naturally sighed deep in his heart.
Zhang Song can understand the choices of these people, but he still cannot avoid being disappointed.
Zhang Shunda asked Zhang Song when to start. Zhang Song looked at the time and decided to wait for another hour.
Jiang Qiyong did have arrangements. On the way to the banquet, he received a phone call, which conveyed a very important news to him. The city had decided that Zhang Song would take over as the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Jiang Qiyong was a little confused by the sudden news. In the end, Zhang Song took over Wang Tongan's job. In other words, Zhang Song was now the director and secretary, and he, the deputy director and deputy secretary, still failed to succeed in the post.
What makes Jiang Qiyong depressed is that he has not received any news before. Zhang Song's matter was revealed to him by an extremely reliable person. Once the official appointment is announced, his power to preside over the work will end at the same time.
Jiang Qiyong thought that Wang Jianming was very unkind in this matter. He changed the order day and night. Even if he wanted to use Zhang Song, he would at least seek his own opinion. Thinking of the conversation between Xu Chunliang and himself, Jiang Qiyong realized that everything was foreshadowed. Did Xu Chunliang also get the news in advance?
Zhang Songduo has his own intentions in waiting for this hour. There will be news tonight about his taking over Wang Tongan's position. I am inviting you to dinner today not as a secretary, but as the new director and secretary of the Civil Affairs Bureau. It's the party and government who are in charge. Who among these people in the Dongzhou Civil Affairs System is not giving me face? If you have the guts, just stick to it.
Deputy Director Zhong Mingyan came over half an hour late. Her reason was that there was a traffic jam. Zhang Song didn't mind. Just come. It proves that you know the news.
Zhang Song looked at the rotating second hand on the wall and said softly: "The subway coverage area in Dongzhou is still not enough. If I remember correctly, the planned Line 5 passes through the welfare home, right?"
Zhang Shunda said: "That's true, but Line 5 has been stopped."
Zhang Songdao: “I was fully involved in the planning and construction of Dongzhou Metro. Without Secretary Zhou’s hard work, there would be no Dongzhou Metro today.”
Xu Chunliang noticed that Zhang Song's tone of voice had obviously changed, and his speaking speed began to slow down, with a confident sense of superiority in his words. It seemed that the future of the Civil Affairs Bureau belonged to him.
In the past, Zhang Song would have looked down upon the position of director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, but it is different now. He had been abandoned and thought his future was bleak, but suddenly there was a turn of events, and the city decided to use him to replace Wang. In Tongan, Zhang Song knew very well that it was not Wang Jianming who played the key role, but Secretary Zhou.
He also knew that the reason why Secretary Zhou helped was not because of past friendship. He might have a back-up plan, or because he had value that could be exploited, so he gave himself a chance.
Zhang Song must go all out to perform and reaffirm his value.
The invited guests arrived one after another, Geng Qingsong, Yang Wenjing, and Wu Shiqi. They all got the news. When they saw each other, they all understood tacitly that it was better to be late than never.
Zhang Song had indeed waited for an hour, but Deputy Director Jiang Qiyong still hadn't come.
Zhang Song knew that Jiang Qiyong was emboldened because of his background. It was foreseeable that there would be no less friction between the two of them from now on. However, Zhang Song still did not take Jiang Qiyong seriously. In his opinion, Jiang Qiyong had not yet competed with him. The qualifications are not mature enough, and the political cultivation is far from enough.
Zhang Song stood up and said, "Everyone, please take a seat."
