Chapter 684 Zhao Qiuhua's Plan
Whether it is Tian Jiageng or Zhao Qiuhua, as provincial and ministerial leaders, they have careful plans for their daily itineraries and rarely undergo major changes.
Before Chen Huai set out from Xucheng yesterday, he heard that Zhao Qiuhua was going to attend a provincial meeting today and would show up in public. Unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared in Yanjing, and he did not expect that he returned to Yanjing not for official business, but came over to meet Ji Chenghai, the boss of the Ji family.
Ji Chenghai, the boss of the Ji family, has retired from a deputy military position for two years, and he only solved the treatment of a major general before retirement. After retirement, he was appointed as secretary-general of the Northern Army veteran cadre association, and was mainly responsible for taking care of the Ji family's condition and daily life.
The old man of the Ji family has been getting worse day by day in the past two years, and has not appeared publicly for a long time. Only a few people in the party have the opportunity to meet the old man of the Ji family. Most people visit Ji Chenghai and other brothers.
The Association of Old Cadres of the Northern Army seems to be an insignificant non-governmental organization, but the contacts are both veteran generals from the Northern Army, Ji Lianyun, the old man from the Ji family. Old political workers are considered the most important support group of the Ji family.
Ji Chenghai is responsible for organizing and coordinating the association. Once the Ji family’s old man is gone, it is hard to say whether Ji Chenghai can still stand up as the mainstay of the Ji family. But now the Ji family’s old man is still there, Ji Chenghai is almost the role of the spokesperson of the Ji family.
As a Hu Zhicheng-related Zhao Qiuhua, Chen Huai had never heard of any special friendship with the Ji family and Ji Chenghai. He needed to change the existing itinerary and suddenly came to Yanjing to visit.
There are only more than three months left before the whole party congress. Since it is clear that Wang Yuan will take over Hu Zhicheng as the State Council, the personnel adjustments of various ministries and commissions of the State Council will be delayed until March next year. However, if there are adjustments in provinces, cities and central departments, most of them will be carried out one after another before and after the whole party congress.
Therefore, those who want to strive for a stronger political status in this round of adjustments have come to the most frequently during this period.
Zhao Qiuhua canceled the schedule and returned to Yanjing to visit the Ji family. Could it be that he was also busy with this matter? Chen Huai thought in his heart.
Although Tian Jiageng did not explicitly say who would succeed him as Secretary of the Huaihai Provincial Party Committee, he also clearly implied that it would not be Zhao Qiuhua. Zhao Qiuhua has been working in Huaihai Province for seven or eight years and has completed the governor. If he doesn't have the opportunity to move forward this time, he will undoubtedly retire from the second line when he is the governor of Huaihai.
But Zhao Qiuhua wanted to make progress, so she did not go to Prime Minister Hu Zhicheng, but instead went to visit Ji's family. Why?
Chen Huai dragged his chair and sat down and asked Tan Jun: "Your father went to Ji Chengxi's house for dinner. Why don't you go there? Instead, you come here to have a meal?"
"Why should I go over to talk to me when they talk about things? My dad doesn't want me to come over, I'm so eager to come over to talk to Sister Cheng Yi..." Tan Jun said.
Chen Huai thought secretly that when Zhao Qiuhua visited Ji's house, was it because Tan Shiwei deliberately asked Tan Jun to come and let the news, and asked, "Then your dad knows that Cheng Yi and I are back?"
"I know," Tan Jun said, "Aunt Liu visited my dad's bookstore in the morning, and said that you and Sister Cheng Yi would come back together..."
After hearing what Tan Jun said, Chen Huai thought it through a little bit.
At this time, Liu Xuemei called Tan Jun in the kitchen to try a newly fried dish. Chen Huai asked Cheng Yi: "What is your father's mobile phone number? I'll call your father?"
Cheng Yi took Chen Huai's cell phone directly, entered his father's mobile phone number, and asked: "Is there any problem?"
"Teacher Tan will not let Xiaowu come over for no reason to remind us," Chen Huai took the phone and posted it to his ear. The phone had already ringed. He had no time to explain in detail to Cheng Yi. After a while, Tian Yongjun answered the phone on behalf of Cheng Wenguang. Chen Huai asked him, "Did Secretary Cheng answer the phone at this time?"
After a while, Cheng Wenguang took the phone and asked, "I woke up at this time. Is there anything wrong?"
"Well, I just woke up. I was planning to visit Teacher Tan Shiwei in the afternoon. Tan Jun happened to have lunch here. Governor Zhao from our province came to visit Secretary Ji, and Teacher Tan also took him to accompany him..." Chen Huai said to Cheng Wenguang.
"Tsk..." Cheng Wenguang took a breath and made a sound from the other end of the phone, undoubtedly deciding that something was wrong behind this.
After a long talk last night, and Chen Huai fell asleep at Cheng’s family in the morning, the relationship between them suddenly became much closer. Cheng Wenguang had any guesses in his mind, so he directly discussed with Chen Huai and asked: "Old Tan will not remind us for no reason, do you think Zhao Qiuhua may also look at Hebei Province?"
Chen Huai said, "I think so too..."
Chen Huai knew that Cheng Yi's father had planned for a long time to plan for the position in Hebei Province.
Cheng Yi's father has a good personal relationship with Tan Shiwei, and has some contacts with Qinghe City officials and business circles. When Ji Chengxi had a conflict with Liu Chuandong, former deputy secretary of the Qinghe City Party Committee, he supported Ji Chengxi without hesitation in establishing a foothold in Qinghe, and was undoubtedly doing some preparation work.
If Cheng Yi's father could hide his intention before and not let outsiders know it, but when he and Cheng Yi returned to Beijing for help, Cheng Yi's father expressed his support for Mei Gang in a semi-public manner. He even specifically asked Cheng Yi's mother to go to Tan Shiwei to reveal the news that he and Cheng Yi returned to Yanjing with Cheng Yi, Tan Shiwei should have guessed Cheng Yi's father's intention.
At this time, Tan Shiwei in turn reminded them that Zhao Qiuhua came to the Ji family today, and the hint should be clear.
The major moves that Hebei Province can make in the next five years are the Shanxi Coal East Exit South Line Project and the development of the coastal areas along southern Hebei and northern Hebei. Even if Zhao Qiuhua can get Hu Zhicheng's support, he still needs to get the recognition of the Ji family if he wants to go to Hebei Province.
Zhao Qiuhua has already served as the governor of Huaihai Province. He wanted to move, so he naturally wanted to be the position of the secretary of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee. On the surface, there was no conflict with Cheng Wen Guangming's position of the governor of Hebei Province, but in fact the conflict was huge...
What did Zhao Qiuhua use to gain recognition from the Ji family at this time?
He was just making a fuss about the project of the eastward exit of the southward line of Jin coal. Chen Huai speculated that it was very likely that Huaihai Province promoted the reorganization of the Xudong Railway at this time and proposed the idea of the eastward exit of Huai coal. Zhao Qiuhua was started and thought of going to Hebei Province, so he bumped into Cheng Yi's father.
The provincial party secretary and the governor both vigorously advocated the implementation of the Shanxi Coal East Exit South Line Project, which seemed to be very good to the Ji family. In fact, this would only cause criticism of the Ji family, making others think that the Ji family even took the illusion of being a relative of the officials of the Ji department in order to protect the southern line project.
For the Ji family, among the secretary of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and the governor, as long as one person can vigorously promote the southern line project and the other person does not try to sing the opposite tune; otherwise, it will be too much or too much.
If Cheng Wenguang and Zhao Qiuhua's hope of progressing to Hebei Province is mainly placed on the Ji family, and they both try to please the Ji family on the Southern Line Project, then the two of them will be in direct conflict.
Three years ago, the process of the second uncle Song Qiaosheng and Tian Jiageng competing for the secretary of the Huaihai Provincial Party Committee, Chen Huai did not have a direct and detailed understanding. He only knew that the result of the failure had a series of negative impacts on the Song Dynasty, which was also a key factor in the formation of the Song Dynasty today.
Chen Huai didn't expect that he had just returned to Yanjing yesterday. Today he had the opportunity to experience the competition for provincial and ministerial positions. He also secretly sighed in his heart that the competition between senior officials seemed calm and the waves behind him were really quite turbulent.
The phone was quite quiet. Chen Huai heard Cheng Wenguang seem to be discussing with the people around him. Chen Huai frowned and thought for a moment, and said to Cheng Wenguang on the phone:
"Ji Chenghai hosted Zhao Qiuhua at home at noon. If the talk went smoothly, Zhao Qiuhua might invite Ji Chenghai back at Huaihai Hotel tonight. It is not difficult to keep an eye on the movements at Huaihai Hotel. If it really doesn't work, I will go to Huaihai Hotel tonight. Uncle Cheng, do you think it is feasible?"
"Everyone says you are so arrogant, I don't believe it. If you bump into this today, you won't ask Zhao Qiuhua to hate you?" Cheng Wenguang asked with a smile on the other end of the phone.
"This time someone reported the excessive land acquisition of Xiapu to the Ministry of Agriculture. I don't believe that Zhao Qiuhua didn't make any moves," Chen Huaihun smiled without fear, "If you have this opportunity, you have to give him some with your own hands to be considered as interesting..."
Cheng Wenguang's position as deputy secretary of the Yanjing Municipal Party Committee to governor of Hebei Province can only be considered a small step, but being able to serve as governor of Hebei Province is more important for Cheng Wenguang to improve his resume.
Perhaps Cheng Wenguang will continue to serve as deputy secretary of the Yanjing Municipal Party Committee and will continue to be added to the Central Committee in the next five years, but obviously the hope of sprinting to the Politburo before retirement becomes slim - a Central Committee member with a chance to join the Politburo is very different from a Central Committee member with a slim hope of joining the Politburo.
Many times, one prospers and one loses.
Chen Huai knew very well that if Cheng Wenguang failed to seek the defeat of the governor of Hebei Province, the negative impact would be very serious, and it might be jointly suppressed by his second uncle, Dai He and others. Once Cheng Wenguang successfully served in Hebei Province, his hope of joining the Politburo is greater than that of his second uncle, the atmosphere within the Song Dynasty would be very different, and Meigang would also gain a relatively relaxed development environment.
Not to mention that Chen Huai and Zhao Qiuhua have a feud, even if there is no feud, he would not stand up and charge for Cheng Wenguang.
At this time, Liu Xuemei called them to come for dinner in the restaurant. After the meal, Chen Huai called Chu Qiang and asked him to assign people familiar with the provincial office in Beijing to watch the news and confirm whether Zhao Qiuhua would host Ji Chenghai, Tan Shiwei and others at the Huaihai Hotel in the evening...
