At this time, Xiong Daini walked downstairs to greet Cheng Yi and Chen Huai. She was wearing tight jeans, but she had a long apron around her waist, covering her slender and plump legs that were so tempting that she looked like she was busy with housework upstairs.

"My parents have just moved here in the past two days, and the nanny has to be found. Qiqi has also left it to them to take care of. There is almost nothing at home. Dailing can't help at school. The house is in a mess. My mother just asked Chen Huai to have dinner with you..." Xiong Daini listened to the speech downstairs, and she couldn't really hide upstairs and not go downstairs to say hello.

Bai Sumei heard Daini say such polite and slightly resentful words, glared at her angrily and said, "Chen Huai is not an outsider, can she think that the meal at home is not bad?"

Chen Huai knew that Xiong Daini was deliberately speaking politely, and wanted to show her distant relationship with him in front of outsiders. He smiled and said, "It would be a pity that Teacher Bai would take out his skills and not go out to be a chef."

Xiong Wenbin was on the phone with someone at this time, and Chen Huai was not busy walking by and disturbing him.

Daini wanted to help her mother cook, so she asked Dailing to pull Cheng Yi upstairs to talk. Chen Huai stood in the yard and watched the snowflakes fall.

The newly moved yard of Xiong Wenbin's house was arranged by the municipal government, and it was not very luxurious, but the main leaders of the provincial party committee and Xucheng Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government generally live in such a house.

The communities in the Qingshui River area look a bit old. Turning down from Yanjing Road, there are all inconspicuous alleys. There are only three or five families in the alley. The pink and white courtyard walls stand tall, clamping the sky above the alley into a line, as if they want to completely cover the small buildings in the yard without letting others peek at it.

The end of the alley is Qingshui River. There are narrow green belts along the river. You can't see anyone. It's very deserted. However, this is the heart of the city. I don't know how many powerful people are trying to squeeze in.

His father went to Huaihai to work, and the province also arranged such a yard. Chen Huai has been there for two or three times, without any impression, and only remembers that there is an alley next to this side.

The yard is a world of its own. A row of evergreen trees was planted in the corners of the walls, and a few pots of flowers and plants were placed on the floor. It looked quite unique. It should have been arranged by the city before Xiong Wenbin moved in.

Xiong Wenbin called, walked over and said, "There is still some final work in Yicheng..."

Chen Huai nodded. Xiong Wenbin officially left Yicheng. How could he lose anything at hand?

"You have been to Xucheng for two days. Have you met Xu Pei?" Chen Huai asked.

Xiong Wenbin nodded and said, "I am mainly familiar with the new working environment these two days. Yesterday I met Xu Pei and brought him to the office for an hour to talk. Xu Cheng and the economic issues of Huaihai Economic Zone have been discussed in a general way. Xu Pei also mentioned that if you have the opportunity, I would like to have a good chat with you..."

Xu Pei expressed his support for Xiong Wenbin's new appointment in public, but no one can guess what Xu Pei's true thoughts are. When it comes to Tian Jiageng's will, everything behind it becomes very complicated.

Although Xu Cheng is the capital of Huaihai Province, in addition to the municipal party committee secretary Xu Pei and deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, his status is particularly important, Mayor Zhou Renjun, Deputy Secretary Li Guangming and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Cao Xieyang are also just members of the provincial party committee.

Xiong Wenbin went to Xucheng to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor. He was nominated by Zhong Limin and was elected as a member of the Provincial Party Committee, in charge of economic, finance, industrial development, municipal construction, municipal government office and other work. It can be said that he has great authority. However, if Xu Pei had a strong resistance to Xiong Wenbin's appointment and had no intention of cooperating, it would be extremely difficult for Xiong Wenbin to carry out his work in Xucheng.

It is difficult for them to guess what Xu Pei is thinking. Chen Huai thought, and this can only be experienced slowly at work.

As for Xu Pei and Xiong Wenbin's mention that they wanted to meet and talk with him, Chen Huai speculated that it should be influenced by the will of Tian Jiageng and Zhong Limin. Zhong Limin and Tian Jiageng both clearly tend to support the development of Meigang. Whether Xu Pei was consistent with Tian Jiageng within the Jingjing Department or Zhong Limin in the province, he had to have an approachable attitude towards Meigang on the surface.

As for whether Xu Pei really wanted to see him or just said something kind of polite, Chen Huai had no way to speculate.

But thinking of this, Chen Huai thought about it and said, "Since Xu Pei mentioned that he wanted to talk to me, maybe I can take the initiative to talk to him about the Xudong Railway..."

Xiong Wenbin pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "The standards of Xudong Railway cannot be reduced, but it is difficult for Secretary Zhong to say anything publicly about this matter. However, if Xu Pei expresses his support, the resistance will be greatly alleviated."

"Xu Pei's support is very likely. After all, he and Zhao Qiuhua are different. The construction of the Xudong Railway will start next year and be completed in three or four years. The potential of the Xudong Railway will be realized, just as Xu Pei is in charge of Huaihai," said Chen Huai. "In addition, it depends on whether he supports Lao Xiong, your work in Xucheng, is it true or false."

Bai Sumei and Xiong Daini prepared the last two dishes, warmed up the wine, and shouted Chen Huai in the house. Xiong Wenbin entered the house to have a drink. When Chen Huai turned around, he saw someone leaning into the yard gate.

The light was dark, and Chen Huai looked at the familiar face of the person, but he didn't recognize anyone for a while.

Xiong Wenbin was sharp-eyed and said, "Deputy Director Li, what's the matter with me?" He walked over, opened the iron gate, and asked the person to come in to speak.

Only then did Chen Huai see clearly that the person who came was Li Wenzeng, the former secretary of the Party Committee of Xucheng Oil Refining.

After Mei Gang took over the refining and chemical business of Xucheng Oil Refining, Li Wenzeng and others chose to leave Xucheng Oil Refining. At that time, they took diversified high-quality assets such as shopping malls and office buildings that were separated from Xucheng Oil Refining, and were responsible for jointly establishing a new municipal commercial group with the Municipal Commercial Bureau.

Since then, Chen Huai never saw Li Wenzeng again, and there was no intersection between them.

At this time, when he saw Li Wen visiting Xiong Wenbin's house, Xiong Wenbin called him "Deputy Director Li" again. Chen Huai was also a little confused about the situation and was not sure what position Li Wen had held now.

"Wen Zeng is now the deputy director of the Municipal Government Office," Xiong Wenbin saw Chen Huai's doubts in his eyes and introduced Li Wen Zeng's current position and said, "Wen Zeng had just been transferred from the Municipal Commerce Bureau. Mayor Zhou said that he and I are old acquaintances. I have some of my work in Xucheng, so Wen Zeng will mainly help me."

"Director Li and I are old friends." Chen Huai smiled and shook hands with Li Wenzeng. Seeing that there was some snow on his shoulders, he must have lived nearby and walked over.

Li Wenzeng shook hands with Chen Huai enthusiastically and said with a smile: "A few days ago, I accompanied Mayor Zhou and others to Zhunan Refining and Visit, and talked to Fenghua and the others about you. I thought I had the opportunity to wait for Secretary Chen to come to Xucheng and ask you to have a good drink..."

More than two years ago, Mei Gang took over the refining and chemical business of Xucheng Oil Refining. Li Wen and Meng Jiansheng, who was then the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, were the main negotiators representing Xucheng.

Two years ago, the operating conditions of the Xucheng Oil Refinery were very bad, but the level was quite high. Li Wen once enjoyed the treatment of a deputy department level.

As a deputy department-level enterprise, Xucheng Oil Refining mainly has its main refining and chemical business, assets and listed companies, but it has to be unknown. The administrative level can only be regarded as Mei Gang, a town-owned enterprise, took over. Li Wenzeng and Xu Lian's senior management were extremely resistant.

It was just that under the pressure of the senior provincial and municipal officials, they had to cooperate with negotiations and asset transfers. However, in addition to formal work contacts such as negotiations, Chen Huai privately wanted to get close to Li Wenzeng and others, but he was rejected.

But who would have thought that Feng Shui would turn so quickly?

Xiong Wenbin, who was supported by Chen Huai, has been a member of the Provincial Party Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the Xu Urban Committee. Li Wenzeng was two years older than Xiong Wenbin, and instead of rising, he has to be the secretary of Xiong Wenbin.

After a closer conversation, Chen Huai learned that Li Wen had served as the Party Secretary and General Manager of the newly established Municipal Commercial Group. After a short time, he was transferred to the Municipal Commercial Bureau as deputy director.

The Municipal Commercial Group was once under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Commercial Bureau, and then left out and was directly under the Municipal Government and the Municipal State-owned Enterprise Working Committee. Xucheng Commercial Group, as a key large-scale enterprise in the city, has nearly 3 billion high-quality commercial assets. Li Wen once had no strong support in the city, so it was normal to kick it out.

However, Li Wen had been to the Commercial Bureau and could not live comfortably for a few years to retire. He had gray hair, but instead transferred him to the municipal government to work as a service work. I think he should have offended someone before.

Chen Huai was not inconvenient to ask Li Wen directly who had offended, but he thought that Zhou Renjun arranged for Li Wen to assist Xiong Wenbin in his work. Zhou Renjun, who seemed to have been very honest in Xu Pei, had a deeper scheming than he had imagined before.

Xiong Wenbin has been in the officialdom for many years, so he doesn’t need to remind others of such trivial matters.

Since Li Wenzeng came to Xiong Wenbin to report on his work at this time, Chen Huai asked him to stay and drink together, and would not mention his arrogant attitude two years ago. He smiled and said, "I'll call Fenghua to see if he's free to come and drink with us." He touched his pocket and found that he stuffed his phone into Cheng Yi's coat pocket.

Li Wen once said, "I'll call Fenghua." He took out his cell phone and called Wei Fenghua, general manager of Zhunan Lianhua.

When Wei Fenghua heard Chen Huai, Xiong Wenbin called him to come and drink. How could there be any inconvenience? In less than five minutes, he rushed over and said enthusiastically: "Last time I drank with Mr. Song, I heard that Mayor Xiong was coming to work in Xucheng. I looked forward to it, but I didn't know that Mayor Xiong had moved to Xucheng. Two days ago, Director Li met me and didn't listen to me..."

Two days ago, Li Wenzeng didn't know the specific time when Xiong Wenbin was in office. It was yesterday that Mayor Zhou Renjun suddenly informed him to assist Xiong Wenbin in the city. Thinking about more than two years ago, Wei Fenghua was just a middle-level cadre under his command. Whether he could be promoted or appointed depends on his appreciation. At this time, the two could only get along with equal status. Li Wenzeng felt a little bitter, but could only accept the current reality.
