Liyuan Apartment on Wangfujing Street, Beijing, can be seen at a glance at the prosperity of the capital.

Gao Jixiang seemed familiar and unfamiliar with all this. He was familiar, but because he was born and raised in the capital, how could he not be familiar with the prosperity of the capital? He was unfamiliar with it. He had been fighting outside for many years and had long become a guest in a foreign land. Even when he came to Beijing now, he was staying in a hotel and had long lost the same sense of home as before!

Looking at the bustling Chang'an Street, Gao Jixiang's thoughts were not on the many things he saw, but were thinking about what he wanted to do this time when he went to Beijing, and his heart was full of concern.

Before he knew it, Gao Jixiang had been going to East China for many years. Speaking of which, he has gained a foothold step by step from East China to something, and has achieved success in his success.

But it is just a matter of gaining a foothold. As one of the two most developed regions of the Republic, East China has very fierce political competition. And Lingshui, where Gao Jixiang is located, is a vice-ministerial-level city with no outstanding economic advantages.

Especially in recent years, in the East China region, Lingshui's economy has been surpassed by several prefecture-level cities, which has also caused the party and government team of Lingshui to be questioned in terms of political achievements.

East China is not like Beijing. In a developed region and a place with a strong commercial atmosphere, the effectiveness of economic development is the main sign of considering whether a cadre is capable. Unfortunately, Lingshui is limited to its own conditions. In a place like East China, it has inherent shortcomings. Gao Jixiang has been dedicated to his work over the years, but he has not been able to improve the economy of Lingshui.

In places like East China, Gao Jixiang is completely isolated, and the power tentacles of the prince system are not that far away. In addition, Gao Jixiang has no achievements as a backing, so the promotion is far away for him.

He is now a senior deputy ministerial official, and has no achievements below, so it is not easy to go to Beijing to work. The senior high school department has used various forces to do so, but it has not been able to help Gao Jixiang find a safe and promising place, and this has been delayed for many years.

Time flies, and the passing of this. Gao Jixiang has passed by 45 years old. After this term, he will be fifty years old. The republic's political arena is now rejuvenating, and there are almost several vice-ministerial officials under the age of fifty in each province.

In the country, there are many members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee under the age of 50. Compared with these people, Gao Jixiang is now completely at a disadvantage. If he is promoted normally, Gao Jixiang is far away from the Standing Committee of the East China Provincial Party Committee.

Speaking of which, Gao Jixiang can enter the Standing Committee further, but in fact, this step cannot be made at all. If everything remains unchanged, he may still not be made in five years. In ten years... In ten years, Gao Jixiang hopes to be sixty years old and become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. His career in this life may end.

It is difficult to be an official, but it is more difficult to reach the sky. The higher you reach the higher level, the less easy it is. Especially, it is not easy to make progress. Gao Jixiang once thought that with his own abilities and background, and with the qualifications to train in East China, the organization would definitely look at him differently.

But after experiencing this, he realized that everyone who can be promoted to a senior official at the deputy ministerial level has the ability and everyone has a background. Without real results and no appreciation and recommendation of heavyweights, the organization will not notice you at all.

In East China, Gao Jixiang did not have outstanding achievements, and the heavyweights in the East China team did not appreciate him much. How could he have further discussed?

After sighing softly, Gao Jixiang suddenly felt a little tired. This figure who was once called the pride of the Gao family, his magical halo gradually faded from his head and gradually turned into mediocrity.

"Dong, dong!" A knock on the door sounded, Gao Jixiang was shocked, and suddenly turned around and said, "Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and Secretary Xiao Han walked in quickly with his cell phone and said, "Mayor, your phone number! The phone number of the Beijing Municipal Committee!"

"Ah..., hurry! Quick!" Gao Jixiang was a little busy, pulled the curtains with one hand, quickly walked up to him and took the cell phone from Xiao Han's hand and held it in his hand.

"Hey, hello! Is it Mayor Gao?" Gao Jixiang calmed down and showed a kind smile on his face, "Yes! I am... you are Xiao Hong?"

"I am Hong Xiaobo, that's it! The secretary may be very nervous tomorrow morning and afternoon. See if it's convenient for you to see if it's eight o'clock in the evening. The secretary said he would like to invite you to have a cup of tea at that time. The location is right here at our municipal party committee..."

Gao Jixiang was stunned, then smiled and said, "Convenient, convenient! Everything depends on Secretary Zhang's time! He is busy with official duties and is not like us. Thank you to him for your sake and tell him that I will arrive on time tomorrow!"

Gao Jixiang repeated the same words twice, and his expression was extremely relaxed, as if there was a big stone on his shoulder, but now he has finally put it down.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Jixiang waved his hand to the secretary repeatedly and said, "You go to the Beijing Office and let Director Zhao send the local specialties I brought to Secretary Zhang's mansion. He must go there in person. In addition, prepare another gift and ask him to prepare in person. Secretary Xiaohong has helped a lot this time, so we cannot ignore it!"

"Yes, mayor, I'll go right now!" Xiao Han said seriously.

Gao Jixiang waved his hand and signaled him to go out. He sat on the sofa himself, picked up a box of Zhonghua cigarettes from the coffee table, took out one and lit it, and savored it carefully.

Including today, Gao Jixiang has been in Beijing for a whole week. This time he went to Beijing, and the guise of going to the Development and Reform Commission to conduct a project for the Yangtze River dredging project, but in fact his fundamental purpose is to come to Beijing to engage in activities to see if he can find a way to change his current situation.

On the first day he came to Beijing, he contacted him and hoped to meet Zhang Qingyun. But Zhang Qingyun was so difficult to see. As the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, Zhang Qingyun's journey was very full, so Gao Jixiang could only make an appointment. The Beijing Municipal Party Committee could not adjust the secretary's journey because of him.

And this wait took a week, and today, Gao Jixiang finally waited for the accurate letter.

After a week of boring waiting, he finally waited for the result. Gao Jixiang felt extremely relaxed at this moment, and he couldn't wait to meet Zhang Qingyun.

In East China, two officials of the Prince's Department were him and Guo Yu. Both of them were facing bottlenecks in their development in East China. However, some time ago, Guo Yu took a roundabout route and successfully got rid of the environment in East China and went to the Central Plains.

From the moment Guo Yu changed his mind to go to the Central Plains, Gao Jixiang was moved.

Compared with East China, the Central Plains is considered an underdeveloped region. However, from a political perspective, it is not necessarily the case. The teams of several major provinces in the Central Plains are generally young, especially the top leaders, who are the new generation of cadres that the Republic focuses on training.

Under such circumstances, if you can enter the Central Plains, Gao Jixiang feels that there is great potential. After all, the Central Plains is the foundation of the Prince's Clan. It is better to have a card in your hand than to support it in East China.

It is precisely because of this thought that Gao Jixiang went to Beijing to find Zhang Qingyun. He did not think that Zhang Qingyun, as the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Committee, would not care about the affairs of the Central Plains. Now in the political arena of the Republic, everyone knows Zhang Qingyun's prestige and voice in the Central Plains, and that Guo Yu's ability to be transferred to the Central Plains was also promoted by Zhang Qingyun.

With a gentle smile, Gao Jixiang snatched the cigarette butts in his hand in the ashtray, and there was something self-deprecating in his smile. Yes, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Gao Jixiang and Zhang Qingyun were once people on the same starting line, and Gao Jixiang was even much more famous than Zhang Qingyun. If we talk about it from the starting point, the two of them could not be talked about. Gao Jixiang's starting point was so high that Zhang Qingyun could not reach.

But this is the two people with a huge starting point, with a low starting point. Zhang Qingyun has now become an important figure in the political arena of the Republic. As the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, Zhang Qingyun will shake the ground across the country. How can Gao Jixiang compete with him?

As for the grudges between the two, they were even more messy. The wife of Gao Jixiang was originally defeated by Zhang Qingyun, and all the major obstacles in Gao Jixiang's career were related to Zhang Qingyun.

Once, the two of them were opponents and the two were mortal enemies! But all these changes were changed because of East China.

In East China, Zhang Qingyun truly became an existence beyond Gao Jixiang. Gao Jixiang was like a stray dog ​​in East China back then and could not gain a foothold. In that case, Zhang Qingyun came forward to give him a chance, otherwise Gao Jixiang might not even have such achievements now.

Undoubtedly, the experience in East China has widened the distance between the two people and the distance between people, which means that they are not at the same level. If people are not at the same level, the so-called conflicts of grievances will naturally disappear.

In Gao Jixiang's heart, he knew that Zhang Qingyun is now the hottest young cadre in the Republic. It is said that Zhang Qingyun's style of conduct and skills are highly appreciated by No. 1. Zhang Qingyun is now vigorously promoting reforms in the capital, and it is said that No. 1 is also strongly supporting him behind the scenes.

If this statement is reliable, Zhang Qingyun might surprise the entire Republic at the 20th National Congress.

"Unlimited possibilities!" Zhang Qingyun's career has clearly explained this to people. It is time to write off the so-called grudges between Gao Jixiang and Zhang Qingyun.

If Gao Jixiang still remembers those things in his heart and cannot let go, his future can be said to be difficult to make progress. This is the naked reality, and Gao Jixiang must face this reality.

While fiddling with his cell phone in his hand, Gao Jixiang thought for a long time and dialed his wife's phone number. The phone was connected. He said, "Prepare it! I have made an appointment with Secretary Zhang. We will go to see him together!"

"Am I going too? Is it appropriate?" Lian Ruohan's voice hesitated on the other end of the phone.

"What's wrong with it? Your father really appreciates Secretary Zhang. Secretary Zhang is the most nostalgic!"
