Chapter 57: Great Face

Chapter 57: Great Face

While Fang Yuzhu was entertaining Zhang Jing and Liu Yang, Guo Ziming was having lunch with several people.

Guo Ziming's face was ruddy after drinking, his eyes were squinted, and he always smiled when he talked to anyone. At this time, among the people at the table, only two handsome young women dared to speak to him, and the rest of the people were all dumb as if they dared not speak.

Anyone who knows his details understands that Governor Guo is the prelude to getting angry. And it's not that the two young women are ignorant of his temperament, the reason why they dare to joke with him is because they know that he has another advantage. That is, as long as Guo Ziming wants to get angry, only when a beautiful woman is present can he maintain his "gentleman's demeanor".

The person who invited guests today was Qi Zhen, the director of the Economic and Trade Committee, but actually the middle-aged man sitting in his subordinate seat, Gu Qingsong, director of the Yichuan Coal Bureau, paid for the guests.

In the past few years, the provincial coal management departments have been going downhill. Except for the accidental "upgrading" of the Jin Provincial Coal Industry Bureau to the Coal Department, such departments in other provinces have either been abolished or merged into other departments. Even the few that were "fortunately" retained have mostly become "department and bureau-level institutions" and have not been included in the sequence of government departments.

In March 2009, after the abolition of the Jihai Provincial Coal Industry Administration, its functions were merged into the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and some prefectural and county-level coal management departments lost their "backbone". With the opening of the integration of coal resources, the "nightmare" of the coal bureau began.

At the beginning of 2010, the new coal reform promoted by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government requires key state-owned coal enterprises to hold more than 51% of small coal mines. The "National Team".

Provincial-level coal management departments have been withdrawn one after another, and the impact on prefecture and county-level coal management departments is undoubtedly the greatest. After the provincial departments are abolished, personnel basically have a way out, but once the coal departments at the prefecture and county levels are abolished, it is difficult for personnel to be properly resettled.

Especially at the end of this year, the merger and reorganization of coal in the province will enter a comprehensive "closing" stage. With the arrival of the "limit" of small coal mines, the cadres and workers of the coal industry management bureaus of the counties and cities are as anxious and lost as the small mine owners.

A large number of small coal mines disappeared, and the status of the Coal Bureau naturally declined as a result. And the coal bureau at the county level below has plummeted, and the scene of rich and powerful has become a thing of the past. It's been 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Unexpectedly, the county and city-level coal management departments, which were once glorious, have now fallen to the point where no one cares about them and people's minds go away.

Although the Yichuan City Coal Bureau has not been abolished yet, it has already been put on the agenda of the municipal party committee and government. During the asset reorganization in June, Yichuan City established Yichuan Energy Group based on the mines in Yichuan City. The chairman and general manager of the group company were recruited through open competition, and Gu Qingsong, the director, was unsuccessful.

Not being able to become the chairman of the energy company means that he will not have the right to speak in the future. Once the Municipal Coal Bureau is abolished, Gu Qingsong will also face the danger of being laid off.

Usually, he has a good relationship with Qi Zhen, the director of the Economic and Trade Committee. This time he went to the province to seek the help of Director Qi.

However, the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission is only responsible for the business guidance of the Yichuan City Coal Bureau. The appointment and dismissal of Gu Qingsong, the director of the bureau, is still in charge of Yichuan City. Although he, the director of the economic and trade committee, has great power, but when it comes to the ability to influence the appointment of cadres in the Yichuan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, it seems a little insufficient.

Whether it is to send a message to the city, or to find a way to transfer Gu Qingsong to the province, it needs Qi Zhen's superior, the leader in charge, Governor Guo, to come forward.

Therefore, Qi Zhen made a report to Guo Ziming, mainly on behalf of Gu Qingsong, expressing his intention to invite Guo Ziming to dinner. Unexpectedly, Guo Ziming agreed with a sense of face, which made Qi Zhen feel a little weird.

However, when he got to the hotel, he saw that Guo Ziming was holding the hand of Ren Lili, director of the office of the Yichuan Coal Bureau, and he knew it. The moment he entered the door, he even regretted bringing his female subordinate, Yu Xiaofei, deputy director of the planning and development department, here.

At the age of thirty-five or sixteen, Yu Xiaofei is neither fat nor thin, neither tall nor short, petite and exquisite, with a standard urban white-collar beauty image, which is usually very popular with Guo Ziming. As long as Guo Ziming goes to his side to inspect the work, he must call Yu Xiaofei to accompany him. Otherwise, I wouldn't bring her with me today.

However, that Ren Lili is tall and slender, with a narrow waist, protruding where it should be, and curling where it should be. With willow eyebrows and almond eyes, red lips, she looks about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, exuding a charming temperament unique to a mature young woman.

Compared with her, Yu Xiaofei is like a pheasant meeting a phoenix, an ugly duckling meeting a swan.

At the beginning of the banquet, the atmosphere was not bad. Everyone talked and laughed to compliment Guo Ziming, flattering each other one after another, and pouring money on Guo Ziming. However, this lively atmosphere was completely destroyed by a phone call Guo Ziming received.

The call was made by Sun Liwei, director of the Transportation Department.

After hearing that something happened to Lu Liping, Guo Ziming had no way to come forward in person. Although the matter between him and Lu Liping was not a secret, this layer of window paper had to be kept. Therefore, Guo Ziming could not come forward, so this matter could only be handed over to Sun Liwei.

However, since last night, Sun Liwei had been looking for Sun Qifan, the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, to coordinate and coordinate, but at noon today, he waited for the news that Lu Liping was detained according to law.

Yang Bin, the director of the Municipal Bureau, was so disrespectful, which made Sun Liwei feel a little ashamed. Losing face by outsiders is not the most serious thing. The most important thing is that he can't explain to Vice Governor Guo. This is what worries Sun Liwei the most.

However, things have become like this, even if he is afraid that Guo Ziming will be angry, he dare not hide it. Because, Lu Liping was detained by the city bureau for a week, and he couldn't hide this matter at all. Who knows if the leader will look for Lu Liping during this period? Even if the leader can't think of looking for her, can Lu Liping not talk to the leader after she comes out?

Therefore, Sun Liwei called Guo Ziming honestly and said that Mayor Zhang of Renzhou City had also gone to the Municipal Bureau. Guo Ziming, who heard the news, turned pale with anger.

Speaking of which, Zhang Jing still called over by herself. I took great pleasure in building roads and airports in Renzhou City. Although there was a reason for the military's involvement, I didn't make any discounts, so I approved the matter.

The reason why the written instructions were still in Sun Liwei's hands and not sent to the Renzhou Transportation Bureau immediately was the main reason why he called Zhang Jing to the province this time.

In this matter, I am selfish. That was just to hand over this project to Lu Liping.

But in all fairness, Guo Ziming consciously gave Zhang Jing face in this matter. Your subordinates sent a report to build roads, and the military also handed over the documents at the same time, saying that they would build an airport in Huling County. I'm out of my mind, and I started to make arrangements immediately. From the time I received your report from Renzhou to the approval of the documents, it only took a total of more than ten days. This should be said to be the fastest at any time. .

What's more, for the sake of Lu Liping's matter, I personally came out to accompany you to dinner, isn't this enough face? If it wasn't for Minister Fang behind you, why would I be so humble?

Although there was a little misunderstanding between Lu Liping and the little county magistrate below, no matter what, you should look at me for my sake. Are you not afraid of offending me if you go to the city bureau in person? Or... is there Fang Yuzhu's shadow behind this matter?

Seeing the leader's changed face, Qi Zhen and Gu Qingsong didn't dare to speak anymore. Yu Xiaofei still hasn't figured out what's going on with Guo Ziming, she thinks what Gu Qingsong said just now made him unhappy, for the sake of the card that Gu Qingsong stuffed into her pocket , Yu Xiaofei felt that she should say a few words no matter what.

From this point of view, Comrade Yu Xiaofei is quite a kind person, who knows the principle of using other people's money to eliminate disasters.

So, Yu Xiaofei smiled and held a glass of wine and said: "Leader, don't worry, since the Yichuan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government still retain the brand of the Coal Bureau, Director Gu is still the leader. Zuo is just a As for the normal transfer of department-level cadres, as long as you say hello, Yichuan City still has to give face..."

Ren Lili raised the corner of her mouth, with a charming expression, she also chimed in and said, "That's right, leader, as long as you open your mouth, who would dare not give you this face?"

How did the two of them know that now Guo Ziming is angry because he hurt his face. These two people are left with one face and another, and they talk about Guo Ziming's face like a millstone. Put a knife on it.

Guo Ziming's face was rosy, his eyes were squinted, and two sharp divine lights shot out from his eyes, nailing Ren Lili's face firmly. Looking at her little red face, she suppressed her anger after all and didn't get angry. Instead, she nodded and laughed: "Xiao Ren, when did I not do what I promised you? I’m also thinking about coming to work for you, and I’ll tell you as soon as I have news, come on, let’s have a drink first.”

Yu Xiaofei also toasted, glanced at Qi Zhen, and said with a smile, "Come on, everyone respects the leader. It's a great honor for us to come here today. Come on, let's touch each other."

So, everyone raised their wine glasses one after another.

However, Gu Qingsong had a loud voice and added another sentence: "Governor, thank you for coming here, you really gave me a big face..."

Hearing this, Guo Ziming's expression finally changed, he slapped the wine glass on the table, and said coldly: "I will give you a big face? Who will give me a little bit of face? Don't waste your face all day long. Just put it on your lips, okay? Face is yours, but it is someone else's business to give you face. The key depends on whether you have the strength..."
