life in the sky

Mu Guoxing took out his mobile phone and called Secretary Kuang. After a while, an extremely shrewd middle-aged man in a dark blue suit came out to greet him.The visitor looked Mu Guoxing up and down, and then said: "You are Comrade Mu Guoxing, right? Hello, my name is Kuang Baoguo. The governor just saw off the guests and is waiting for you there. Please come with me." !"

The VIP building at No. [-] is the place where Governor Xia specially receives distinguished guests and high-ranking officials from the capital on weekdays. Today, as a small secretary of the county party committee, it is not easy for Mu Guoxing to come here.

Following Secretary Kuang, Mu Guoxing came to the second floor of the VIP building.This is the place where Governor Xia works and receives guests. I saw a few pictures hanging on the wall.

painting.One of the banners with the four big characters of "Quiet Zhiyuan" caught Mu Guoxing's attention. He saw the dragon, phoenix and phoenix dance written in these four big characters, which was majestic. After a careful look at the signature, he realized that it was Governor Xia himself. The book.

Main text Chapter 195 Seeing farther (asking for flowers)

Chapter 195 Kuang Baoguo, Governor Xia's secretary, saw that Mu Guoxing was staring at the words, and said, "Secretary Mu, this is Governor Xia's handwriting, isn't it very stylish?"

"Secretary Kuang, I'm not very good at writing, but I can also see that Governor Xia's handwriting is majestic, steady and self-contained. Those who have not reached a certain level will never be able to write this handwriting!" Mu Mu Guoxing admired from the bottom of his heart.

Kuang Baoguo is the secretary of a provincial governor, and he has met countless officials, big and small, with Governor Xia, and one of his strengths is observing words and demeanor.What is flattering and what is the truth, you can tell when you hear it, and you can tell when you see it.Seeing Mu Guoxing's praise from the heart at this time, he couldn't help feeling a little fond of the young secretary of the county party committee.

Arriving at the door of Governor Xia's office, Secretary Kuang turned to look at Mu Guoxing. Mu Guoxing immediately stopped in his tracks and nodded to Secretary Kuang.

After Secretary Kuang knocked on the door and entered, within a few seconds, he came out and said to Mu Guoxing: "Secretary Mu, Governor Xia is waiting inside, please go in now!"

After Mu Guoxing walked into the office, he saw Governor Xia correcting documents on his desk, so he said politely, "Governor, hello!"

When Governor Xia saw Mu Guoxing coming in, he quickly put down the documents in his hand, smiled and said to Mu Guoxing: "Ah, okay, okay, our youngest county party secretary in northern Ningbei Province is here, please sit down!"

Secretary Kuang Baoguo first filled Governor Xia's cup with water, then brought Mu Guoxing a cup of tea, nodded and smiled at Mu Guoxing, then exited the room and closed the door gently.

Governor Xia looked at Mu Guoxing sitting upright on the chair in front of his desk, staring at him with two clear eyes, and couldn't help admiring inwardly: Now an official like Mu Guoxing who is neither humble nor overbearing when he sees his superiors is indeed There were too few, not to mention a county party secretary, even some prefectural party secretaries and even individual deputy governors, when they saw themselves, they all made such flattering smiles, which made people feel bored.The young man in front of him has clear eyes, which shows that he is selfless in his heart.The steady way of sitting shows that he is worthy of a heavy responsibility.

Thinking of this, Governor Xia said, "Secretary Mu, yesterday afternoon I asked Secretary Kuang to call your county party committee office.

The funds for the reconstruction and expansion are in the province for alms.How are you doing with your work? "

Oh, it turns out that Governor Xia wanted to know about this issue!Mu Guoxing is very confident about this issue, because he is the planner and leader of this matter.How could it be unclear?

Mu Guoxing talked about the current education problems in Baohe County, such as the reconstruction of dilapidated school buildings, the reduction of tuition and miscellaneous fees for students, the introduction of teachers, the improvement of teaching quality, and the resolutions and implementation plans of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee to solve these problems. Reported to Governor Xia.It was clear and well-organized, and Governor Xia couldn't stop nodding his head when he said it.

"Secretary Mu, I called you here this time, and I didn't simply want to hear a report on your work. I wonder if you have read the article in this newspaper?" Governor Xia said while handing it over Mu Guoxing a newspaper.

Mu Guoxing took the newspaper and took a look. He saw that it was the central organ newspaper "Huaxia Daily", and there was an article on it with the title: 'The Rise of a Poor County'.He quickly browsed through the article, and found that the article mainly described how Baohe County tripled its grain production in just over a year and changed

Changed the status quo of eating national relief food for a long time.The total economic volume has jumped from the last place in the whole Weizhong area to the first place in the whole area.The article also mentioned the leading role of the county party committee standing committee members in leading the people of the county out of poverty and achieving economic take-off.And mentioned the name of the county party secretary Mu Guoxing three times.

Seeing this, Mu Guoxing remembered something that Liu Yilin, the Minister of Propaganda, reported to him last month, saying that several newspaper reporters wanted to come and interview him.Since I am not a person who likes to make publicity, I assigned this work to Liu Yilin, and instructed him to ask all subordinate departments in the county to actively cooperate with the reporter's interview and truthfully provide all kinds of information needed by the reporter.

That night, he found time to have a simple dinner with the visiting reporters in the canteen of the county party committee. He clearly remembered what that reporter Sun with the face of an old farmer said to him after the meal: "Secretary Mu, the meal we had when we came to your Baohe County was the most meaningful meal. From you, we have seen the party's fine style of hard work and simplicity. You are so young to be a The secretary of the county party committee who manages several 10 people always has the common people in his heart. It is not easy to lead the county party committee to lead the people of the county to achieve such great achievements in just over a year. From you, I See the future of the country, and the hope of our nation!

Since that meal, because I often go to the countryside, I have never seen this reporter Sun again. I only occasionally took a few interviews on the construction site of the basic construction of farmland and water conservancy, and did not have any further in-depth discussions.But it never occurred to him that this reporter Sun would come up with such an article, and it would even be published in the Central Huaxia Daily.

What is Governor Xia's intention of showing this report to himself today?Did he want to criticize himself for being too flamboyant? Thinking of this, Mu Guoxing said to Governor Xia: "Governor, when this reporter came to our Baohe County, I only met him once. Our Baohe The county's economy has made some achievements, but this is inseparable from the correct leadership of the provincial party committee, the provincial government, the prefectural party committee and the administrative office. It is also the result of the joint efforts of our Baohe County Standing Committee and the whole county. This is The data used by this newspaper are all true, but I think they should not mention my personal name, but should emphasize the role of the superior leadership and the collective."

Governor Xia immediately laughed when he heard what Mu Guoxing said.Pointing at Mu Guoxing, he said, "You little Secretary Mu, you are really interesting! I don't know what you mean. You came to criticize me. Before, I only knew that you have increased production by intercepting and diverting water and attracting investment. Attracting capital has achieved a fundamental improvement in the financial situation. If it weren't for this article

Report, I really didn't know you guys made such a big contribution in such a short time.Should we be praised for our achievements? This is in line with the principle of seeking truth from facts advocated by our country!In my personal opinion, the praise for you is far from enough. In the future, the province will set up your Baohe County as a model to beat those who are self-sufficient, do not think about making progress, and want to ask for more food and relief every year. Let them clear their minds, and ask them to leave that position if they cannot change the status quo.On this issue, I have already exchanged opinions with comrades Qihua and Daguan. "

Governor Xia pointed to the cup in front of Mu Guoxing, then took a sip of tea from his own cup, looked around, Mu Guoxing, who was listening to his speech with a calm face, continued, "Little Secretary Mu, I The purpose of coming to you today is to hear your plan for the next step of work, that is, your policy policy! You can broaden your vision and look at problems and analysis from a higher perspective question."

"Governor, I may not be able to speak well, but I just want to share with you my personal opinion. This is how I see it. Take our Weizhong area as an example. Among the seven national-level poverty-stricken counties in the province, three One is in the Weizhong area."

Mu Guoxing just said this

, was interrupted by Governor Xia; "Secretary Mu, don't just stare at the Weizhong area, you should look a little further, for example, it's like Jinshan City, what do you have? good suggestion?"

When Mu Guoxing heard Governor Xia's question, and thought of the incident that Huang Daguan had talked with him a few days ago, he understood a little bit.Fortunately, I have paid more attention to the situation in Jinshan City in my spare time these days, otherwise, it would be really difficult to answer the question so abruptly by Governor Xia.

"Governor, I don't know much about the situation in Jinshan City, but based on the superficial situation I observed in Jinshan City in the past few days, I will report my immature thoughts to you. Correct place, please criticize!"

When Mu Guoxing said this, he looked at Governor Xia again, and saw that he was waiting for him to continue talking with great interest.

"I think so. From what I have observed in Jinshan City, there are mainly problems in the following aspects. The first is the restructuring of state-owned enterprises. Due to the lack of implementation of policies for the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, As a result, there are some problems in the resettlement of a large number of laid-off workers. These people have repeatedly petitioned, affecting the

the normal work of the government.The second problem is the reconstruction of dilapidated houses in the old city.I went there yesterday and saw that most of the houses are very dilapidated, and some people even live in dilapidated houses.I saw in a resident’s home that three generations of grandparents and grandchildren live in a room of more than ten square meters, and their lives are very difficult. If this problem is not resolved as soon as possible, their trust in the government will be reduced and dissatisfaction will arise. mood.The third problem is that the production technology of factories is backward and the products are single, and the development of distribution enterprises is backward, which makes the economic development very slow and even negative growth. "

Having said that, Mu Guoxing paused for a moment, observing the expression on Governor Xia's face.

Governor Xia nodded approvingly when he heard what Mu Guoxing said, and said, "Well, yes, it hits the nail on the head and hits the nail on the head. The provincial party committee and the provincial government have already discovered these problems, but they haven't been able to find a good one. It is an effective solution. Secretary Xiao Mu, you have a background in economics and a master’s degree in this field. I have read all the research reports you submitted to the central government in the Economic Research Institute of the State Council. So now I What I want to ask is, if you were the mayor of Jinshan City, how would you solve these difficulties?"

Main Text Chapter 196 Adding Burden to You (Second Watch for Flowers)

"Governor, I have also considered this issue. The root cause of these difficulties is not that our party and the country's policies are not good, nor is the leadership of the provincial party committee and the provincial government ineffective. It is mainly the lazy thinking of some local rulers. Mischief. The phrase “diligently governing for the people” was a problem that all the scholar-bureaucrats in ancient times understood, but how many people can do it now? The words “wait, rely, and want” have been deeply ingrained in some people’s minds, and even took root It's gone." Speaking of which, Mu Guoxing looked at Governor Xia again, and Governor Xia's expression became serious at this time.Seeing that Mu Guoxing stopped his words again, he relaxed his expression and said, "The speaker is innocent, what you said is very reasonable, keep talking!"

"I think the current difficulty is mainly a matter of money. Without money, nothing can be done. The solution to this difficulty is to vigorously develop the economy. The first thing to do now is to increase investment attraction and set up such an institution Separate it from the business department. For those who can attract foreign investment and projects, praise and certain rewards should be given. This work should be closely linked to the hat on everyone's head; the second aspect is Accelerate the transformation of old urban areas and dilapidated houses. Open up and invigorate the real estate market, exchange land for funds, realize the marketization of real estate, and change the current policy of uniform housing allocation by the state. You can start with a city

Starting as a pilot, it will gradually drive the province's real estate reform. "

Mu Guoxing explained his views on some economic issues to Governor Xia. After hearing this, Governor Xia thought silently for a long time and did not speak.After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Guoxing, some of our current cadres are indeed seriously dependent on waiting, relying, and needing as you said, and there are very few cadres who understand economics and are capable! I want to ask you a personal question, are you married?"

"Governor, I'm not married yet, but I already have a fiancée! I plan to return to the capital to marry her after my term of office expires!" Mu Guoxing said with an embarrassed face.

"Comrade, you should be married to a male college, and you should be married to a female college. You have to know that his marital status is also one of the considerations in the selection of cadres by our party. Now I want to ask You have a question, I hope you can give me a clear answer! After your tenure expires, do you still have to go back to the capital? Can you stay in Ningbei and continue to work? If you agree, we are ready to add more burdens to you. "

When Mu Guoxing heard this, he understood that Governor Xia must also be thinking about his future work.It is estimated that Secretary Tang will be transferred

, he has already received the news that he wants to recruit talents for his future team.What he did also coincided with Huang Daguan's thoughts, and he didn't know why the two people had discussed in advance why they both asked themselves the same question?

Thinking of this, Mu Guoxing said to Governor Xia: "Governor, this is how I look at this issue. The term of our group of cadres who came down from the capital in Ningbei is only two years, and it is not up to us whether we go or stay. It can be decided by individuals. It also needs to be arranged by the organization according to the situation. In my personal opinion, I have already developed deep feelings for everything here in the short time in Ningbei. The work in Baohe County still has There are many things that have not been completed, and I need to continue to work there. I also really want to do some practical and good things for the people of Ningbei under your leadership!"

Governor Xia was very happy when he heard Mu Guoxing's statement that he wanted to stay, but he didn't show any signs of it on his face, and said slowly: "It's very good that you have this idea. I think the work of Baohe County You have done very well, the next thing to do is how to continue to maintain this good momentum of development. What we currently lack is a pioneer who dares to reform and innovate. Conservative things are not suitable for you, so let They're done. What do you think? Guoxing!"

Governor Xia is here

Shi has already fallen in love with this young man from the bottom of his heart, and his address has quietly changed from Secretary Xiao Mu at the beginning to Guo Xing at the end, and the distance between the two has been invisibly shortened.With Mu Guoxing's wit, how could Governor Xia's intentions not be seen?

When Mu Guoxing thought of this, Governor Xia said again: "You can express your willingness to stay and continue to do some practical and good things for the people of Ningbei. I appreciate this idea very much. As for the Central Organization Department, I will suggest that the provincial The Standing Committee of the Committee made a request to them!"

At this time, Governor Xia's secretary Kuang Baoguo knocked on the door and came in and said, "Governor Xia, the banquet is ready, shall I invite you over now?"

"Well, Guoxing had a good chat today. I have another important reception and I won't keep you. If you have any new ideas after you go back, you can write them down and hand them over to Secretary Kuang."

"Governor, I came here this time and brought you some gifts. I also know that you never accept gifts. But this time there is a reason. This Fang Yan was given to me by my teacher Mr. Wu Daozhi, and I don't It is a waste to keep writing calligraphy. If you are free, please give me a few words, I will be grateful. When I was in the capital, I heard Wu

As I said before, he loves your calligraphy very much, and has never had the chance to get it.When I return to the capital, I will give your words to Mr. Wu, and fulfill his wish. Isn't this a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?As for this tea, it was brought to me by an old classmate of mine in Jiangnan a few days ago.If you don't dislike it, take him as your embellishment pen. Mu Guoxing took out the two cardboard boxes from his bag and put them on the desk while smiling.

"Your teacher is old Mr. Wu Daozhi? No wonder you have such insight. It turns out that he is a student of Mr. Wu. I have been friends with Mr. Wu for a long time, and we have never met each other. He is the most famous man in our country. Economist, he is also the guest of the head of the central government, an important economic think tank. Since this is the case, I will make an exception to accept your gift. Secretary Kuang, please remind me that if I have time, I will write to Mr. Wu A pair of words, of course, I will not forget you, Mr. Wu's disciple!"

When Mu Guoxing was about to leave the house, Governor Xia patted Mu Guoxing on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, Guoxing! I believe in you, and I will definitely take up the heavy burden entrusted to you by the party, and you will never let me down." The provincial party committee and the provincial government expect you!

That's enough for the sake of talking, Mu Guoxing stayed

Working in Ningbei has basically become a foregone conclusion. After bidding farewell to Governor Xia, Mu Guoxing drove back to the hotel where he was staying, thinking along the way, is it a good thing for him to stay in Ningbei?Or is it a bad thing?He didn't give himself an accurate answer until he got to the hotel.
