Chapter 792: Meeting

Early summer, everything is lush

The Red Flag car drives steadily on the road. Cao Cao Weiguo secretly observes Tian Tian Sihai, the deputy director of the Municipal Industrial Bureau.

Since getting in the car, this deputy director, who is nearly fifty, has not said a word, and the office director, Zheng Brother Yuan, also looks very serious. Compared to a few days ago at the wine table, he is like a different person.

This trip to the ministry to attend a meeting is the first major meeting Cao Cao Weiguo has attended since taking office, and he is inevitably a little nervous.

Tian Tian Sihai is an old man in the Municipal Industrial Bureau, but I heard from his subordinates that since Director Director Jiang was parachuted in, this deputy director has been sitting on the bench, transferred from the finance section, which has financial power, to the meeting section, which is responsible for meeting security. Although his rank has not been lowered, the power in his hands has truly plummeted.

For Cao Cao Weiguo, who was heavily promoted by Director Director Jiang, this Deputy Director Tian did not express any attitude, neither close nor excluding. Now he does not stand in line or express his position in the Municipal Industrial Bureau, and his purpose is to protect himself. Of course, it does not rule out sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

Tian Tian Sihai’s attitude is neither warm nor cold, and Cao Cao Weiguo naturally will not go up to climb the conversation. After all, from the moment he entered the Municipal Industrial Bureau, he has been clear-cut. Everyone knows that he is Director Director Jiang’s person, and he does not need to hug the thighs of other leaders in the bureau.

Last night, he tossed and turned with Song Song Yulan relatively late. Cao Cao Weiguo saw that no one in the car was talking, so he simply closed his eyes and rested. Today’s meeting is of a high level, and he can't afford to be listless.

As time goes by, the Red Flag car slowly drives into a red wall. The places it passes are solemn and quiet, as if birds dare not fly from the sky.

The Red Flag car stops slowly. Cao Cao Weiguo follows Deputy Director Tian out of the car, and more than a dozen middle-aged cadres in Zhongshan suits come to meet them.

Stepping on this extremely special land, Cao Cao Weiguo can't say what his mood is at this moment; it really feels like a dream.

Without waiting for Cao Cao Weiguo to express his feelings, a man wearing glasses and a gray Zhongshan suit has already stretched out his hands to him.

"Comrade Cao Weiguo, hello. Nice to meet you, I am Liu Gan from the General Office."

"Hello, Secretary Liu."

He remembers Liu Gan’s name by heart. This is the person Director Director Jiang specifically explained, the deputy section chief of the Ministry of Industry’s Secretariat, and also the right-hand man of Secretary Han.

Cao Cao Weiguo hurriedly holds Liu Gan’s hand, in a state of being flattered.

Although it is the first time they have met, the two hold hands tightly, which can be described as cherishing each other and meeting like old friends.

Liu Gan’s performance makes Deputy Director Tian and Director Zheng change their eyes on Cao Cao Weiguo. Obviously, they did not expect Cao Cao Weiguo to have such a good "popularity" in the ministry.

Entering the meeting room with the large force, after waiting for more than ten minutes, the leader presiding over the meeting enters, and the momentum is so great that Cao Cao Weiguo dare not breathe loudly.

The meeting level is high, and the confidentiality level is also high. As for the meeting content, Cao Cao Weiguo can only say it is confidential, because the leader presiding over the meeting is surnamed Lin.

When Cao Cao Weiguo walks out of the meeting hall, his whole brain is dizzy, and his feet feel like they are stepping on cotton. It takes a long time for his breathing and heartbeat to return to normal.

Cao Cao Weiguo doesn't know if his psychological quality is too poor, but the aura of that big leader is too strong. Even if he sits in the back row, even if there are hundreds of participants in the meeting hall, he finds it difficult to control his inner nervous emotions.

"Cao Weiguo, we’re here."

The Red Flag car stops slowly. Secretary Liu smiles and mentions it, which brings Cao Cao Weiguo back from his chaotic state.

The Yuebin Hotel is definitely second to none in Jingcheng at present. Except for receiving foreign guests and cadres from other places who come to Jingcheng for meetings, ordinary people are rarely qualified to dine here.

This is the second time Cao Cao Weiguo has come here. The last time was when he accompanied Director Director Jiang to receive Soviet engineers before the New Year, and this time he is the host entertaining guests.

When Cao Cao Weiguo and Secretary Liu arrive, Zheng Brother Yuan is already standing at the entrance of the hotel, having booked a private room and dishes in advance.

"Brother Zheng, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing Zheng Brother Yuan greet him, Cao Cao Weiguo smiles and shakes hands with him.

From Director Zheng to Brother Zheng, Zheng Brother Yuan understands what this title means, but he is happy from the bottom of his heart for this change.

Because he was a neutralist like Deputy Director Tian before, but now Director Director Jiang has taken the position of the number one leader and is deeply trusted and reused by his superiors. If he continues to "ride the wall," then the day he guards the reservoir is not far away.

Although neutrality can protect oneself, it also faces the risk of being marginalized. After Director Director Jiang, the number one leader, consolidated his position, he naturally could not treat his confidants who worked for him badly.

But the Industrial Bureau has one hole for one radish. If someone goes up, someone must go down. So who goes down?

Zheng Brother Yuan can become a section-level cadre, so he is naturally not a novice, and he also perceives the changes in and around the Industrial Bureau.

Because of standing in line, he has been pushed to the edge of a cliff. He is very clear about his situation. If no one pulls him, he might be transferred to the Water Conservancy Bureau to guard the reservoir tomorrow, or transferred to the Forestry District to cut trees.

In officialdom, don't take yourself too seriously, because there are a lot of capable people in officialdom, especially in Jingcheng, where a brick might hit a section chief or a division chief.

But in officialdom, having ability alone doesn't work. Like a number one leader like Director Director Jiang, his work is simply managing people. Managing people involves rewards and punishments, closeness and distance.

He was able to sit in the position of office director entirely because of the cultivation of his old leader, but the old leader has retired, and he was recently labeled, so now he has no backing and no capital to ride the wall. If he doesn't save himself in time, sitting on the bench is a sure thing.

How to "save" his political future, Zheng Brother Yuan also racked his brains. Rushing to show loyalty to Director Director Jiang is already too late. How to say, the biggest drawback of the wall-riding faction is that once the situation is clear, you can't even catch up with the hot shit.

You don't go to send charcoal in the snow, and you are not missing for adding flowers to the brocade.

At this time, even if he ran over to kneel and lick, Director Director Jiang wouldn't look at him straight.

Knowing that the straight path doesn't work, he can only take a detour.

Cao Cao Weiguo’s arrival made Zheng Brother Yuan seem to see a ray of light in the thick fog. After some investigation and getting along, Zheng Brother Yuan has regarded Cao Cao Weiguo, this "big red man," as a straw for life. In order to get Cao Cao Weiguo’s friendship, he did not hesitate to lower his status to call Cao Cao Weiguo brothers.

You know, he is already forty-six years old, possibly a few years older than Cao Cao Weiguo’s parents.

But in order to continue serving the people, face doesn't matter; what matters is the determination to serve the people.

Therefore, after Cao Cao Weiguo proposed to treat guests to dinner, Zheng Brother Yuan took the initiative to ask for help, saying that he was a comrade-in-arms with the director of the Yuebin Hotel, and actively worked for him.

After a while, the guests Cao Cao Weiguo invited arrived one after another. After Zheng Brother Yuan saw those guests, he once again strengthened his determination to unite with Cao Cao Weiguo.
