Chapter 235 Entering the provincial capital!

Cao Rui didn't get much rest all night. He originally planned to go back to Yongping the next day, but when he got up in the morning, he made an impromptu decision to meet Mayor Lao Gao.

He was mainly pretentious and a little uneasy.

Wang Fei spent over [-] yuan to set up such a bureau. Cao Rui had never experienced this before. In the officialdom, everyone eats, drinks, welcomes and greets people. This is all human nature. Sometimes he asks the leader to approve the money, and after signing, he gives a The amount of red envelopes is basically three to five thousand, and Cao Rui is relatively easy to do these operations.

But like Wang Fei, who made tens of thousands in one move, Cao Rui was still hit hard. This matter was very secret, and he couldn't tell others, so he felt it was difficult to digest it if he kept it in his heart.

After meeting Lao Gao, the two played two games of chess, and Cao Rui was killed and completely defeated.

Gao Shenghai Road:

"Cao Rui, you came to Wude yesterday, right?"

Cao Rui chuckled and said, "Uncle Gao, you can really be a god!"

Gao Shenghai said: "I see that you don't have enough sleep, you are still a little distracted, and you are pretending to be something!"

Cao Rui smiled bitterly, but he couldn't tell the truth directly to Gao Shenghai, so he just said that he played cards with Sun Pingan yesterday, and someone asked Sun Pingan for a way to be promoted, giving money and things.

Gao Shenghai frowned and said:

"Cao Rui, you may not like to hear some words. I often tell others that a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall! Many people don't agree with what I say. We are older and may not be able to keep up with current thinking. .

But older people have also seen more. I don’t know how many people I have seen building tall buildings, and I don’t know how many people have seen buildings collapse. If you are willing to do something now, you are afraid of going the wrong way. You can make your own choices about these things. I can Any advice for you? "

Cao Rui said:

"Thank you, Uncle Gao. I didn't play very well today and I didn't let you enjoy chess to your fullest!"

Gao Shenghai said: "It's better than nothing. You have to learn to grasp the distance between people. You have to know how to use time to digest many things. Birds of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups, but you can't tell the longitude and latitude. This is the test of your skills. Woolen cloth!"

Cao Rui came out from Gao Shenghai's side and thought quietly by himself. What Gao Shenghai said was very interesting.

The first one talks about a gentleman not standing behind a dangerous wall. What does "dangerous wall" mean? After much deliberation, Cao Rui concluded that Gao Shenghai still said that Sun Pingan was not very safe.

He said he had seen many people building high-rise buildings, and many of them collapsed. He was afraid that those who built high-rise buildings were not simple people, but some might be leaders at the provincial and ministerial levels. Just imagine what these leaders looked like when they succeeded. It must be that people are shouting in front of them and supporting them in droves.

In comparison, Sun Ping'an is currently only the secretary-general of the municipal party committee. In Cao Rui's eyes, he is considered a high-ranking official, but he may not be able to reach the level of "building a high-rise building" as Gao Shenghai said.

Then there is the saying "birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups". Cao Rui thought about it and thought that he and Sun Pingan were definitely not the same kind of people. In this case, the sense of distance may have to be maintained!

Thinking of this, Cao Rui decided to play less cards in the future. Cao Rui often came to Wude because of the need to run projects, and basically played four or five cards with Sun Ping'an a month.

Cao Rui wanted to reduce the frequency to one or two games first, then lower it a little more after a while, and finally fade out quietly.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

Cao Rui's cell phone suddenly rang. When he saw the call, he quickly answered it. Ling Feng's voice said:

"Cao Rui, are you in Wude?"

Cao Rui said:

"County Magistrate, I came here last night and just played a few games of chess with Mr. Gao. Are you also in Wude?"

Ling Feng said:

"Come to my house and let's have lunch together?"

"Okay!" Cao Rui immediately drove to the gate of Ling Feng's community. Ling Feng was wearing casual clothes and was very casual. The two of them found an inconspicuous small restaurant. Ling Feng said:

"Want to drink some!"

Cao Rui slapped his forehead: "I am really good at service! Why don't I care about the needs of the leader?"

Cao Rui immediately rushed out, took a bottle of 1573 from the trunk, drank a little, and said to Ling Feng:

"Last night was Wang Fei's game. Secretary-General Sun was invited to dinner, and a card game was arranged after the meal!"

Ling Feng nodded and said: "Everyone is showing his talent in the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. It is very difficult to go up from the subject level. Just take a look at how many places Yongping has in a year. If we just count, there are more than ten people who meet the conditions. Twenty!”

Cao Rui said:

"There is no way. The stage at the county level is only so big. It would be much easier to go up in the city!"

Ling Feng took a sip of wine and said nothing.

What Cao Rui said touched him a little. Recently, the county-level team adjustment was blowing, and Ling Feng was also thinking about where to go next.

Secretary Jiang talked to him and he said:

"Ling Feng, you need to think carefully about your personal issues. I won't be able to stay in Wude for too long anyway! No one can resist the laws of nature. I will have to step down when I reach my age..."

Jiang Gaowu actually understood what he meant, that is, Ling Feng's foundation in Wude was not solid. If he left Wude, Ling Feng would be even more weak.

"Personally, I think it's still a matter of stage! Secretary Zhou is still in his position. It's possible to find you a provincial-level stage at this time. However, the situation will change in a few years. If you want such a stage again, you may not be able to find one." For sure!"

After Jiang Gaowu said this, Ling Feng had to consider the possibility of leaving the grassroots level and going up!

There are really pros and cons here, and it is difficult to make a decision. Ling Feng is now only one step away from becoming the county party committee secretary. The county party committee secretary is a provincial cadre, and his position is very important. With such work experience, at Ling Feng's age, he can retire and become a department-level cadre. It can be said that it is a sure thing.

After he went to the province, he was a division-level cadre all over the world. On the one hand, he could not find a sense of presence. On the other hand, he might end up becoming a department-level cadre, and he might not be able to be sure of success.

Of course, the advantage is that if Ling Feng can do well in the provincial government agencies, it is not impossible for him to be promoted to deputy mayor or even a member of the municipal party committee standing committee if he is decentralized.

And if Ling Feng climbed down by himself, from the main office to the deputy hall, it would be just like Wang Fei's current major level, which is really difficult to make progress.

Ling Feng was very dignified and was touched in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

The two of them finished a glass of wine, and Cao Rui was about to pour another glass. Ling Feng said:

"Cao Rui, drink this today!"

Cao Rui was a little confused. He and Ling Feng often drank. Ling Feng's alcohol capacity was eight ounces, and it was usually more comfortable for the two of them to drink half a pound. So he and Ling Feng often share a bottle of wine.

Ling Feng asked for a drink today, but he only drank two taels.

"Cao Rui, you are relatively free now. How about we go to the provincial capital in the afternoon?"

Cao Rui said:

"Okay! I just want to see if I can go to the provincial capital recently. There are experts in the provincial capital who want to learn from it."

Ling Feng said:

"Okay, let's set off at half past one. I'll just pack up! Do you want to bring anything?"

Ling Feng suddenly wanted to go to the provincial capital. In the car, he told Cao Rui:

"Cao Rui, you may have heard some rumors recently. There is no way, we are all cadres trained by the organization, and we may be sent wherever we are needed!

I personally like working in Yongping very much. Yongping is developing very well now, and we have seized opportunities in all aspects! Especially the Qili River tourism you are currently engaged in. If we can work harder, once tourism starts, the economy of several towns in our northwest will be revitalized..."

Cao Rui said:

"County Magistrate, tourism can really drive a country's economy. The most vivid example is Zhangjiajie! In the past, Zhangjiajie was very backward and the people's lives were very difficult. Since the development of tourism there, things are obviously different now. Urban construction, people's lives Living standards have caught up with or even surpassed some surrounding cities and regions..."

Ling Feng said:

"Yes! You are absolutely right. We, the 80 fellow villagers in Yongping County, if the economy can really develop, this will be our lifetime pride and achievement!

But sometimes many things do not depend on people's will. If we think this way, we may not be able to do what we want in the end. We often say that nine out of ten people in life will be unsatisfied, which is very helpless! "

When Cao Rui heard what Ling Feng said, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. He couldn't help but think that Ling Feng suddenly said this. Could it be that he was planning to leave Yongping?

If Ling Feng leaves, where will his next stop be?

Cao Rui had this idea in his mind, and his mood fluctuated a bit.

Wang Fei told him two days ago not to put too much pressure on Ling Feng. It is estimated that Wang Fei has made some judgments about Ling Feng's movements.

As for Cao Rui, he now wants to develop tourism in Yongping. With his own weak relationship background, he really just relies on his thick skin to carry out projects.

Cao Rui is so thick-skinned because he has Ling Feng's support behind him. Otherwise, who would give him face?

The time that Cao Rui went to Qilihe was too short. If he could be allowed to work for two or three years and achieve a certain scale of results, then there would be major personnel changes, and the situation might be much better.

Ling Feng opened the window a little, then lit a cigarette for himself and said:

"Cao Rui, Mayor Wu Weimin is your teacher. Through traveling, you interact with him more frequently! At the city meeting yesterday, Mayor Wu specifically mentioned you when we talked alone.

He said you are not big, but you are so courageous. You dare to build a tourist attraction in a small town! Although his words are teasing, his attitude is definitely affirmative and complimentary towards you! "

Cao Rui said:

"Thank you, County Magistrate. Mayor Wu has really given us a lot of support. The Tourism Bureau complained every day that it had no money. Mayor Wu personally called Director Song and finally supported us with two projects!

Mayor Wu will go to Yongping next month. I think we must arrange for him to take a look at our Qili River in person. I think if he can go to Qili River, he may be more confident, and then we may have a better chance of getting the market share. Project support from the government and municipal finance! "

When Cao Rui and Ling Feng said this, they were actually making up their minds that the relationship between Mayor Wu Weimin and Mayor Wu Weimin must be brought to a higher level.
