Shen Huai also had no intention of looking into who the rumors were and what their intentions were. Seeing Cheng Yi wash up from the bathroom, she handed her gruel and a bowl with fried dough sticks.

Sun Yalin sipped and said, "It's not a bad thing for you to be transferred to the province, Xu Pei, Zhao Qiuhua and the others will never play naked tricks on you; you and Cheng Yi can also live in Together, it will save Cheng Yi thinking about you all the time..."

"I don't want him to accompany me," Cheng Yi said to herself, "I've been used to living alone all these years; if I really live with him, I think he's in the way."

Shen Huai turned his head to the side, stared at Cheng Yi's clean, flawless face and asked, "Really not?"

"Who cares, who do you accompany, I don't care anyway." Cheng Yi raised her beautiful chin and pushed Shen Huai's head aside dismissively.

Shen Huai grinned, Sun Yalin was also here, he could only end up dead if he continued on this topic.

The construction of Meixi-Xinpu Port is gradually taking shape, and the industrial clusters centered on metallurgy, refining, shipbuilding, heavy industry and light manufacturing have also initially formed a pattern.

As for the local infrastructure construction, the reconstruction of the Xudong Railway double line has started, and the business facilities in the west area of ​​Lingang New City, with Pengyue Modern City as the core, have also laid the foundation piles - although according to his plan, it is best to do it two or three years ago. The eastward extension of Xudong Expressway and the Lanjiang Expressway running through Xiapu and across the Zhujiang estuary have been completed, forming a large logistics pattern of river-sea connection, sea-rail connection, and high-speed network, but some projects have not been built for several years. It will not have any subversive influence on the local development of Donghua - in this case, Shen Huai does not have to stay in Xiapu.

Shen Huai put the porridge in his stomach, walked to the window, took out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "I am just a small screw in building socialism, and I will nail it where the country needs me... …”

"I think you can pull off this layer of skin on your body, but you can still feel at ease," Sun Yalin asked, still puzzled, "I don't understand, why is your official addiction so heavy?"

The country is still an official-based society, power is better than money, and capital needs politics as a means. Meigang is weak and young, and Shen Huai needs to hold local political power to **** Meigang's development.

However, Mei Steel has now become the foundation, and its future development will not be limited to one place. Shen Huai will not have much energy to take into account the development of Mei Steel when he takes office in the local area, but not enough freedom. Over the past year, Shen Huai has been running around for projects such as Huaidian Power Transmission to the East, Pengyue Modern City, etc., where is it just the burden of the county party secretary who only guards one county, and because he is not free enough, the trivial affairs in the county You can't get rid of it all, and people are also quite tired?

What's more, Shen Huai has been recognized by the Sun family, and he still has broader development opportunities overseas. Sun Yalin not only didn't think that Shen Huai needed to stay in Xiapu, but even felt that he didn't need to stay in this small area of ​​officialdom.

"As the saying goes, the poor stand alone, and the rich help the world. My heart is not that high, but I can't do the opposite, right?" Shen Huai said with a smile.

"Those who are still good at the same time help the world, you're just talking nonsense..." Sun Yalin gave Shen Huai a sideways look. In front of Cheng Yi, Sun Yalin was also eloquent. The meaning is undoubtedly to satirize Shen Huai's development of a few women.

Shen Huai was naturally very familiar with the meaning that Sun Yalin wanted to convey between her eyebrows and eyes, but she smiled, how could she pick up her words and find it boring in front of Cheng Yi?

When Cheng Yi was about to go to work, Du Jian, who was very knowledgeable and interesting, called and asked Shen Huai if he would return to Xiapu in the morning?

There is nothing to do. Of course, he has to go back to Xiapu to stay. He is also the secretary of the Xiapu County Party Committee. It is impossible to make people feel at ease when he leaves the stall to Zhou Qibao and Qi Jingyao.

Sun Yalin has a meeting to attend in the morning, so there is no need to leave immediately to go to Xiapu with Shen Huai, forcibly pull Shen Huai down to accompany her, and ask Du Jian and the driver to return to Xiapu first, and they will leave after the meeting in the morning.

She didn't leave in the morning, so she pulled Sun Yalin down. Shen Huai would be late if she wanted to leave at noon; Xiong Wenbin and Huang Xinliang rushed over and blocked him on the river embankment next to the site of the International Industrial Park to talk about things.

The third phase of Hongji Evergreen includes several sub-projects such as energy storage, silicon materials, and micro-motors. The technical sources of the sub-projects are also different, and the coordination part involved is quite complicated.

Zhongxin Investment not only acts as one of the main investors, but also imports the high-quality resources in technology and management of the technology companies acquired in Japan into Hongji Evergreen. Sun Yalin shares a lot of work, more than Sun Qiyi and Song Hongjun. Directly involved in the preparation of the third phase of the project, she has been very busy for this period of time.

On the local government side, it is necessary to do a good job in supporting the construction land supply, water supply and drainage, power supply, communication and transportation for the third phase of the Hongji Changqing project.

Even if we know that Hongji Evergreen and Meigang are closely related, Zhongxin and Hongji Investment hold 50% of the shares in the third phase of the project, and they rely on each other with Pengyue Modern City. The construction of the two projects means that The Meigang Department officially entered Xucheng, but this project with a total investment of more than 500 million US dollars will create nearly 20,000 jobs for Xucheng. As the largest foreign-funded industrial project introduced by Xucheng in recent years, it will cooperate with Pengyue. The two projects of Modern City and Binjiang New World Plaza, which is in charge of Ronshine Real Estate, have become the driving force behind the strong economic growth of Xucheng in the next two or three years.

In order to promote the construction of the Hongji Evergreen Phase III project in Xucheng as soon as possible, the Xucheng Municipal Party Committee instructed Qinjiang District to be responsible for planning and building an international industrial park in the area along the river east of Chengdong Avenue, as one of the unspoken rules. , Huang Xinliang, who had just been transferred to the deputy head of Qinjiang District a few years ago, is no longer in charge of the construction of the Binjiang business district, but instead is in charge of the preparation and construction of the international industrial park.

From the end of the year to mid-March, Xiong Wenbin's revised draft of the new urban development plan was officially approved by Mr. Xu Chengcheng.

Subsequently, Xucheng Zhengfu allocated one billion yuan from the land funds handed over by Ronshine Real Estate and injected it into the Huaihai Bay Zhengfu Construction Fund. Construction officially started.

During this process, Xu Pei and Cao Zhengjiang and other officials in Xu Pei's department actively cooperated, but they undoubtedly took most of the credit.

When Xiong Wenbin just put out the draft of the new construction plan, the mayor of Xucheng, Zhou Renjun, made frequent calls, and even spread the news of dissatisfaction with the new plan without even consulting with Hu Lin and the others; however, Hu Lin, Luo Xiaotian and others saw that the general trend was irreversible, and A more pragmatic choice of real interests.

Although Zhou Renjun made a mess this time, no one will drive him out. After all, it is the Hu family and Zhao Qiuhua who have a solid foundation in Huaihai Province and Xucheng, and Xu Pei has no intention of kicking Zhou Renjun out of the city.

Zhou Renjun even strived for the Huaihai Bay Political Axe Construction Fund to be responsible for the construction of Binjiang Avenue for Binjiang New World Plaza, so that Qinjiang District and the city can put more municipal resources into the Binjiang business district, so as to help Ronshine in the business district. The development of Xucheng strives for more resources.

Binjiang New World Plaza was also launched very quickly. Including Rongxin Building and New World Plaza, as a landmark project in Qinjiang District, a group of six high-rise buildings, with an average design height of about 200 meters, rushed to the design draft in early March. Before the final trial, the first foundation pile was laid on the north bank of the Zhujiang River.

Pengyue Real Estate, which is a joint venture for the Pengyue Modern City project, with Zhujiang Construction as the main body and invested by Zhongxin and Hongji, also started the Baiyanji Amusement Valley and Binjiang Town in early March. item. Changqing Group is also within the scope of Pengyue Modern City, next to Baiyanji and Binjiang Town, to start the construction of the first five-star hotel project in Zhunan District.

The urban scale and foundation of Xucheng are there. Once started, there is no problem that the total urban construction scale this year exceeds that of Donghua. Xiong Wenbin has many new and beneficial ideas in attracting investment, guiding industrial development, and promoting urban construction. , To discuss with Shen Huai, he wants to do more work for the two cities of Donghua and Xucheng before retiring.

Although Shen Huai is very reluctant to talk to others about what happened in the past few days, but he also knows that what happened in the past few days may have a profound impact, so he has no choice but to inform Xiong Wenbin and others. , so that they can have a clearer understanding and judgment of the future situation.

Xiong Wenbin knew about this. Looking at the turbid river surface, it was difficult to say anything in front of Shen Huai.

"Who do you think is most likely to make a fuss about this incident?" Sun Yalin was always outspoken in front of Shen Huai and asked, "Do you think it's Zhao Qiuhua or Xu Pei?"

Shen Huai took out his cigarette, squatted on the river embankment, took two puffs on the fire, and said, "It's nothing to worry about on Zhao Qiuhua's side, he is now afraid of Xu Pei, and won't try his best to tease us - Hu Lin , Luo Xiaotian and the others should also want to build the two projects of Xinjin Iron and Steel and Binjiang New World as soon as possible. Of course, if the arrow is shot from someone else's hand first, they will not mind stepping on me more than once. foot……"

"Xu Pei promoted the overall development of the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone, which is a good thing for the locality, but he also promoted the establishment and formalization of the leading group for the development of the economic zone. In his hands, his plans are deeper than he imagined," Xiong Wenbin sighed and said, "Xu Pei can't refuse to use us and the plum steel system at this stage, but if he has the opportunity, he will be better than Zhao Qiuhua, Zhou Renjun is more eager to limit the influence of the Meigang Department - you may really have to make mental preparations to transfer to Donghua and come to the province for 'high school'."

Don't think that they are very happy to work with Xu Pei now, but the person Shen Huai is most afraid of is Xu Pei.

Hearing what Xiong Wenbin said, knowing that he also had a clear understanding, Shen Huai could only smile bitterly: "If I can come to the province for a 'high job', I can't pick three or four..."

Sun Yalin said in disbelief: "Don't be depressed, you think your stupid father is **** you, why doesn't he think you are **** him all these years? Think about it, If you have a docile surname and don't screw up his wishful thinking, he will cooperate with Tan Qiping and Su Weijun, and maybe he has already entered the provincial standing committee today. You expect him to take the initiative to make way for you, there is no way. "

Shen Huai laughed and said, "Yes."

Having said that, Shen Huai was still worried about Xu Pei's next actions, and stood on the river embankment again, and talked with Xiong Wenbin for a long time.

According to the normal procedure, Xu Pei should first take over as the governor of Zhao Qiuhua, and after a period of time in charge of the political axe, he should take over as the secretary of the provincial party committee Zhong Limin.

It's just that Zhong Limin is two years older than Zhao Qiuhua, so theoretically, he should be retired earlier than Zhao Qiuhua.

For Xu Pei, there is a big risk: if he does something to oust Zhao Qiuhua in advance, Hu Xi, who is standing behind Zhao Qiuhua, is fully capable of arranging for Zhong Limin to step back soon and put another person behind. Coming to Huaihai, he squeezed in front of Xu Pei and grabbed the throne of the provincial party secretary, thus making Xu Pei lose the best chance in Huaihai.

Although Zhao Qiuhua has felt the pressure from Xu Pei since last year, Xu Pei has not taken any direct action against Zhao Qiuhua, except for the shock of the Dongjiang Securities case.

When Zhong Limin proposed to transfer Xiong Wenbin to Xucheng as the executive deputy mayor, Xu Pei even loosened the suppression of Zhou Renjun, who was promoted by Zhao Qiuhua, so that everything seemed to return to the previous state of balance.

Those who are really familiar with Xu Pei can know that Xu Pei has not given up his wild power for higher powers, and he has not even relaxed for a moment, but his chosen strategy has changed.

For more than a year, Xu Pei has focused his energy on promoting the overall development of the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone. In the forward push, it can be said that he inherited and carried forward the thinking of Tian Jiageng, the former Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, to develop the Huaihai Province's economy, and it can indeed be faster. As far as Xu Pei himself is concerned, the biggest advantage is that he can bypass the provincial government axe, bypass Zhao Qiuhua and directly intervene in economic affairs, and even join the development leading group to make Huaihai Province the most important. The core, the largest development potential and the fastest regional economy are in hand...

As long as he is really effective in the construction of the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone in two or three years, and supplemented by his achievements in organizational personnel and party building, Xu Pei can bypass Zhao Qiuhua and directly replace Zhong Limin as the secretary of the provincial party committee.

For Xu Pei, this is a more practical shortcut.

However, Xu Pei wanted to take this shortcut, and he had to reuse the Meigang Department; from the Xinpu Iron and Steel Project and the development of Xinpu Port, the Meigang Department was the core executor and collaborator in implementing Tian Jiageng's framework for developing Huaihai Province's economic ideas.

Including Zhong Limin's agreement to transfer Xiong Wenbin to Xucheng to serve as the executive deputy mayor, and agreeing to Xiong Wenbin's drastic revision of urban planning, in addition to the general situation, the use of plum steel is also in line with Xu Pei's current core interests.

Xiong Wenbin has done a lot in Xucheng, and the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone has formed an overall coordinated development of the region. Xu Pei has always been the leader and divided the credit.

Xu Pei even took the initiative to recruit Huang Xinliang and others from the Meigang Department, who were capable of local construction, and transferred them to Xucheng to strengthen related work. He even tried everything possible to fill in more resources into this box. go.

One day, it was said that Xu Pei could take this opportunity to successfully directly replace Zhong Limin as the secretary of the provincial party committee. Even if the central government sent someone else to replace Zhao Qiuhua as the governor, Xu Pei could still hold the frame of the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone in his own hands. Suppress the new governor.

Although the Meigang Department can also benefit from this and grow, this is not what Xu Pei wants to see.

Shen Huai can understand the pragmatic Xu Pei's mentality that he has to use towards them. He used Xu Pei's mentality to facilitate many things before, but he also clearly realized Xu Pei's vigilance and defense against them.

It's just that Xu Pei's current attitude towards them is still to take advantage of them. Even if he wants to limit it, in the case that Zhong Limin, secretary of the provincial party committee, clearly supports Mei Steel, he can't find a suitable excuse - now he is talking to him. It was not difficult for Xu Pei to find "perfect" opportunities and excuses from his father's troubles.

Perhaps the rumor that he was going to be transferred to the province has been inexplicably spread these days, which is the prelude to Xu Pei hiding behind his back and instigating someone to release it.

Shen Huai thought about talking to Li Gu. After all, Li Gu was closer to Xu Pei and could better understand his thoughts, but he gave up thinking about it.

*********************

Shen Huai and Xiong Wenbin had a simple lunch at the construction site, and then returned to Donghua by car with Sun Yalin. Before the people arrived in Donghua, Liang Zhenbao, secretary of the Yushan County Party Committee, called.

Yushan is going to hold a tourism festival during the May 1st Golden Week, and would like to invite Shen Huai to be a guest too - Shen Huai thought that he could go to Yushan with Chengyi to have a few chats, but where would he want to be a guest?

"I am the secretary of the Xiapu County Party Committee. I do not promote the development of the tourism industry in Xiapu County, and I am a guest at the Yushan Tourism Festival. If my face is shown on the TV news, it is not to put me on the table to scold the people of Xiapu. If you want to invite heavyweight guests, I think Chairman Wu Haifeng is suitable. For the follow-up tourism infrastructure of Yushan, you should also ask for more support from the Political Axe Construction Fund. You should invite Chairman Wu Haifeng to show up..." Shen Huai laughed. Talk to Liang Zhenbao on the phone.

"This tourism festival, we specially went to the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department to ask Vice Minister Zhou, and asked Vice Minister Zhou to express this to Chairman Wu on his behalf. In two days, Xiao Haomin will make a special trip to Xucheng and hand over the invitation letter to the In the hands of Chairman Wu," Liang Zhenbao said on the other end of the phone, "to say that Yushan tourism industry can have such great development in recent years, Secretary Shen, you are a well digger, so I am still mainly responsible for your work. Xiapu people If you want to scold, I will scold you back, if you don’t transfer from Yushan, Secretary Shen, how can Xiapu be so beautiful today, and the tourism industry will let Yushan take more advantage, so what’s the matter?”

"Haha," Shen Huailang smiled brightly, but didn't bite the bullet and promised Liang Zhenbao, and said, "Let's see the schedule on my side..."

Yushan has started the construction of tourism infrastructure on a large scale. In the past two years, it is still a bit hasty to launch a tourism festival in the spring, late and early summer of this year; Be more generous.

However, in late September, the municipal committee held a full committee meeting. Liang Zhenbao should have to withdraw from the second line by then. Everyone can understand Liang Zhenbao's mentality of wanting to leave more things in Yushan.

In short, you can’t expect the tourism industry to be called Yushan once or twice with a tourism festival. Many things require long-term accumulation, and there is no harm in promoting it earlier.

When it comes to Yushan Tourism Festival, in addition to Yushan County Party Committee Political Axe, the other sponsor is Jinding Tourism Investment Group, which is in charge of Xie Zhi.

At present, the construction of scenic spots in Yushan is mainly based on the Hanling Ancient Village, Yuxi Ancient City and Yushan Lake Scenic Area invested and constructed by Jinding.

If it weren't for the events of the past few days, Shen Huai might have called Xie Zhi to ask about the specific situation.

According to the mentality of Liang Zhenbao and Yushan County Party Committee and County Political Axe, the specification of the tourism festival is naturally the higher the better, but the real decision depends on the current preparations of Yushan.

If the preparations are done well, the specifications can be higher, and the scale and publicity can be larger; if it is too hasty, this year's tourism festival can start with a smaller scale and leave more aftertaste for the future. Otherwise, the thunder will be loud, everyone will be shouted, and the tourism reception capacity will be limited, but it will ruin the reputation and cause adverse negative effects.

Shen Huai didn't intend to go to the Wenyu Mountain Tourism Festival too much. He returned to the county and held a regular meeting of the county standing committee every two weeks. There was nothing special. Then drive back to Meixi to find Chen Dan. Sun Yalin, who didn't want to return from Xinpu Refining & Chemical, intercepted him again, and insisted on going back to Meixi for dinner with him, euphemistically, to supervise who Chengyi had an affair with.
