Seeing Kan Xuetao and Xiong Wenbin talking with Tan Qiping in the study, Chen Huai remembered that the middle-aged woman in black who looked familiar in the living room was Kan Xuetao's wife.

"Director Kan is here too!" Chen Huai greeted Kan Xuetao first. Seeing how he was chatting with Tan Qiping, he must have known each other for a long time.

"When Lao Kan was in the provincial department, I met me," Tan Qiping patted the sofa beside him, asked Chen Huai to sit over, and said to Kan Xuetao, "I heard that Xiao Shen is in Meixi Town, causing you a lot of trouble for Lao Kan!"

"How could it be that some people did too much," Kan Xuetao said with a kind smile on his face, "Chen Huai is still very courageous in Meixi Town, and young people are more aggressive than me," he looked at Zhou Ming standing aside and said, "Lao Xiong's son-in-law is also a handsome talent. I heard that he is the backbone of the Planning Commission's echelon?" All the good words were left behind.

In 1993, the status of the Public Security Bureau had not yet been raised. Although Kan Xuetao was the secretary of the Party Committee and director of the bureau, his ranking among county and department-level officials was not particularly high. Facing Xiong Wenbin, who was about to be promoted to deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, he was as close to him as possible.

Unlike a long list of deputy secretary-generals of the municipal government, the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, the municipal party committee office, the municipal government research office and other departments have an administrative level of higher level. The secretary-general of the municipal party committee is a member of the Standing Committee and is mainly responsible for assisting the municipal party secretary in handling party affairs. Therefore, the value of the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee can be said to be one of the highest in the department.

Kan Xuetao was not very clear about the relationship between Xiong Wenbin and Chen Huai, and he didn't know how Xiong Wenbin got Tan Qiping's trust.

When Tan Qiping and Kan Xuetao introduced Xiong Wenbin, they were just like Xiang Chen Huai's relationship with him. They just said that they knew each other before, and they were vague about how they knew each other and how they realized it to the extent.

This may be the art of speaking for those who are in high positions.

Kan Xuetao has been transferred to Donghua for several years. He has a good understanding of the local personnel in Donghua. He also knows that Xiong Wenbin is a strange person. He knows that Xiong Wenbin has the experience and achievements in hosting large state-owned enterprises. If he really wants to gain the trust of Tan Qiping, he can be promoted to be the deputy mayor.

Chen Huai's helper put the old Boxer Yuandiao, who was casually packing the old newspaper, put it on Tan Qiping's desk and said, "I will give such a thing as a gift when Secretary Tan takes office. I will not seem shabby if I give such a thing as a gift, right?"

Tan Qiping said: "Old Xiong and Lao Kan both came over with gifts and asked me to block outside. You came to break my rules again..."

"I am different from Director Kan and Director Xiong," Chen Huai said. "If it really doesn't work, then I will pick something from this study and be the meeting gift from Secretary Tan..."

Tan Qiping shook his head and smiled, saying, "You are interested in the good things from me. You have to change it."

Kan Xuetao didn't know what the relationship between Chen Huai and Tan Qiping was, but looking at the scene in front of him, it was obvious that Tan Qiping and Chen Huai seemed closer, otherwise they would not have received the gifts from Chen Huai in front of them, and resolutely blocked them back.

Kan Xuetao thought to himself: No wonder Chen Huai was causing such a big storm in Meixi Town. Before Tan Qiping took office, he supported Chen Huai and forced Gao Tianhe to bow his head. Thinking that Chen Huai would really get close to him in the future.

Just chatting about some topics, Tan Qiping also asked Zhou Ming to bring a chair to join in the fun.

Zhou Ming was a little restrained. When others asked him, he answered seriously and seemed eager to show his feelings.

However, Tan Qiping was also tolerant of young cadres like Zhou Ming, not to mention that Zhou Ming was still Xiong Wenbin's son-in-law. He also deliberately asked about some work matters of the Planning Commission to see if he was familiar with the business.

Zhou Ming was able to choose Xiong Wenbin as his son-in-law, but he was almost thirty years old when he was implicated by Xiong Wenbin. He only became the deputy chief clerk in the Planning Commission and was unable to hold a specific position.

However, as long as Xiong Wenbin can enter the core circle of Donghua's power, even without Tan Qiping's direct promotion - Tan Qiping is unlikely to directly promote Zhou Ming. As Xiong Wenbin's son-in-law, Zhou Ming has the ability and his professional level is quite strong. It is impossible to not be able to get a job even if he can't get a job.

Chen Huai didn't talk much, but just listened to Tan Qiping, Kan Xuetao and Xiong Wenbin chatting there. But Tan Qiping took the initiative to raise the topic on Meixi Iron and Steel Plant and asked Chen Huai: "I heard that your work in Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is very good. The people who actually participated in the production rectification have a high evaluation of you..."

"It's only half a month, how can we achieve any good results?" Chen Huai said praisingly.

"You said that, but I blame me for helping you falsely report your achievements in front of Secretary Tan?" Xiong Wenbin said with a smile.

"Old Xiong has authority in the steel industry," said Tan Qiping. "If I hadn't straightened out the relationship between the city first, I would have wanted Lao Xiong to go back to the city steel factory directly. If you have achieved results at Meixi Steel Factory, it will also promote the city steel factory..."

Chen Huai responded with a smile: "Even if there are some achievements, the foundation of Meixi Steel Plant was too poor before. From front-line workers to management, labor discipline is very scattered and there is a lot of room for progress, so if you tighten it all at once, you can quickly achieve some achievements. Another thing is that domestic steel demand is so strong that there is almost 20% gap this year to be imported from abroad, turning losses should be a goal that is not difficult to achieve. How long can it take and how much results can be achieved? It is still too early to say that if you really want to make a contribution, you have to thank Director Kan. Without Director Kan to support me, this production rectification will be difficult to proceed smoothly..."

"You young people are more courageous in doing things," Kan Xuetao dared not take credit for the city bureau. "It is really insignificant to provide some support from the city bureau. Besides, the problem was first in the city bureau..."

Tan Qiping also studied the materials of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant. He heard that Chen Huai was confident of turning losses into profits and could talk about several key ideas. He knew that he had put some thoughts on Meixi Iron and Steel Plant and nodded in his approval.

Tan Qiping did not have a particularly high hope for Chen Huai. He thought that as long as Chen Huai could turn Meixi Iron and Steel Plant into a more important position to train, he would not be afraid of what others would say.

Speaking of which, Tan Qiping is not very clear now: Why is Song Qiaosheng so cold to his nephew? He has no chance to contact Chen Huai's father Song Bingsheng.

"How did Song Sanhe deal with it later?" Tan Qiping obviously did not forget this matter and asked Kan Xuetao.

Chen Huai didn't have the energy to follow this matter later. He looked at Kan Xuetao and wanted to know how Gao Tianhe wiped his butt.

"The bureau's party group decided to open two times, and the city also supported the bureau's party group's decision." Kan Xuetao said,

Chen Huai thought that Gao Tianhe's ability to wipe his butt was first-class, and there was no way to leave any handle on this matter. However, when the two parties made a deal with each other, he got the job as he wished, so he didn't want to delve into the affairs of Wanhu Company.

When the water is clear and there are no fish, the officialdom has its own rules.

Generally speaking, in the officialdom, we can tolerate revenge, but we cannot tolerate hatred of evil - that is, we make people feel sad and have to adapt to this reality.

Chen Huai’s experience in the city’s steel mill over the years and what he learned from Chen Huai’s previous life made him understand one truth: if you want to do something, you must first learn to tolerate something; being a good official is much more difficult than being a clean official.

"Oh," Tan Qiping nodded, and did not ask any more about Song Sanhe's affairs. He said, "Your Municipal Bureau will focus on cracking down on economic crimes in the future and maintain the economic order of Donghua City, so that Donghua can have a good economic development environment."

Kan Xuetao could hear that Tan Qiping's words were targeted, and nodded and agreed, saying, "Secretary Tan, your instructions, I will hold a meeting of the Party Group of the Bureau tomorrow to deploy..."

"Don't be too anxious," said Tan Qiping. "Shen Huai is in the township, and the movements can be bigger. No matter how big the waves are, they will not overturn. The work in the city will be improved step by step."

Kan Xuetao was thinking about Tan Qiping's words, and didn't know whether he was going to be anxious or not.

Hearing this, Chen Huai was relieved: Tan Qiping still supported him to mess up the waters in the townships.

He was worried that Tan Qiping might hear his previous performance and bad deeds in the Song family, and that Tan Qiping would give up his support. So during this period, he has made every effort to rectify the production of the steel mill, just to think that even if Tan Qiping knew his previous bad deeds, he could see his current efforts and achievements.

Chen Huai also had no intention of speculating whether Tan Qiping knew about his previous bad deeds in the Song family at this time. As long as Tan Qiping did not give up his support at this time, he would have the confidence to make more achievements and prove his ability to Tan Qiping. Maybe he could win the image of a prodigal son turning back and not changing his money in Tan Qiping's impression.

While chatting here, I didn't feel that time passed quickly, so Chen Sujuan came over to urge everyone to have dinner together.

Although there was some conclusions about Chen Mingde's incident, there were still some bad news spread. Therefore, Tan Qiping came to take office, and Chen Sujuan would rather throw away the work of the Provincial Women's Federation and follow him to Donghua.

Those who came here together were a nanny who was used to their family and a driver Huang Xi who was used to when Tan Qiping was in the Provincial Organization Department.

Chen Huai and Huang Xi had met him for a long time. Last time, Xiong Wenbin rushed back to Donghua overnight, but Huang Xi drove them over. Huang Xi had already gotten married and had children, but his wife and children had to be transferred to Donghua, which took time, but it was very convenient.

Xiong Wenbin's ability and news were very satisfied with Tan Qiping. He mentioned the following personnel arrangements at the dinner table. He would first transfer Xiong Wenbin to be responsible for the Municipal Party Committee Office and serve as an assistant.

Xiong Wenbin was quite calm, and his lover Bai Sumei, son-in-law Zhou Ming, and daughter Xiong Daini were a little happy.

No wonder, the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee and director of the municipal party committee office, as the county and department level with the highest value, was once out of reach for Xiong Wenbin. Although he could not squeeze into this villa area near the lake, he could at least get a three-bedroom apartment in the building group behind him.

It seems that Xiong Wenbin was promoted from the deputy to the most valuable position, but in Shen Huai's view, all this is just a compensation for Xiong Wenbin.

The city steel mill created amazing brilliant achievements in Xiong Wenbin, which also led to the overall rise of Donghua steel industry in the 1980s.

Just after Xiong Wenbin was transferred, the municipal steel mill was transferred to a department-level state-owned enterprise, and Gu Tong was also elected as a member of the municipal party committee. If Gu Tong had not managed the municipal steel mill so incredible, or if the municipal steel mill could have further development during Gu Tong's administration, the municipal steel mill would have been promoted to a deputy department-level state-owned enterprise.

The current annual output of the provincial Huaihai Iron and Steel Group is only about three times that of the city's steel mills when they were at its peak, and the profit and tax last year were about 800 million yuan; while the administrative level of the Huaihai Iron and Steel Group is at the official department level.
