Chapter 50: The Rock Needs Me More

Longcheng, the capital of Wangtian Province, has five districts and six counties under its jurisdiction, with a population of about 5 million. It is considered ordinary in China. However, due to the advantages of the terrain, several large rivers run through the entire territory and have relatively developed agriculture. It is one of the important grain-producing areas in China. In addition, there are coal and iron in the province, the economic development speed in recent years is quite good and can be included in the middle ranking of provinces across the country.

Fan Wubing is still staying with his father at Fengyun Hotel on Huainan Road. The accommodation conditions here are very good and the food tastes are in line with their habits. Therefore, as long as Longcheng comes to live here, it has become a habit.

Less than half an hour after I moved in, I received a call from Wang Laoer.

"How did you know that I'm in the provincial capital?" Fan Wubing couldn't help but feel very surprised.

"My elder brother told me that the boss finally came here. How can I arrange the itinerary?" Wang Laoer asked for instructions.

Fan Wubing smiled and refused, "There's no need. It's okay to come here for dinner. I'll just have a good rest here for two days, and I'll still go to Beijing after that. The matters there have not been completed yet."

"Okay, I'll arrive on time tonight and bring two bottles of good wine to my uncle." Wang Laoer replied very happily.

It was just over the phone call from Boss Wang, but I received another unfamiliar call. When I answered it, I heard it. It turned out that it was Wang Xiaoshan, the manager of the PCFans Longcheng branch.

It's really strange, why do everyone know my phone number? What's wrong today?

Fan Wubing answered the phone and asked, "Brother Wang?"

"Mr. Xiao Fan, have you been to Fengyun Hotel now?" Wang Xiaoshan asked on the phone.

"Yes, how do you know?" Fan Wubing was even more curious.

"I was having dinner with the client. I just saw someone passing by, and it seemed like you, so I called me and asked." Wang Xiaoshan said.

"Oh, so that's the case. I thought you all knew about it!" Fan Wubing finally understood what was going on.

Fan Heng just finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom. Seeing his son Fan Wubing holding his elder brother and talking nonstop, he asked curiously, "Why don't you use a landline? How much money do you burn?"

"Oh, someone else called it." Fan Wubing replied casually, thinking in his heart that the fee for the elder brother is indeed too expensive, but if he had such a large sum, he would not have to drive the landline to save a few dollars and then turn on the landline.

Wang Xiaoshan heard Fan Wubing's words from the opposite side, so he asked, "Did Uncle Fan come here together?"

"Well, my dad is going to report his job in the province, so I will come and take a look." Fan Wubing replied.

Wang Xiaoshan immediately shouted, "Will you have dinner together that night? I haven't seen you for a long time. This opportunity is really rare. I'll invite my father-in-law to accompany you!"

"Just come here. Secretary Lin is so busy with his leader. It's not good to always harass him, right?" Fan Wubing said with a wry smile.

Wang Xiaoshan smiled and said, "It's not a problem at all. He happens to have time tonight, so it's a coincidence for you."

"Okay, Wang Laoer is probably coming here too, let's go together." Fan Wubing said.

After putting down the phone, Fan Wubing said to his father Fan Heng, "Wang Xiaoshan called, saying that he would come with Deputy Secretary Lin Hao to greet you, and Wang Laoer also wanted to come here, so there would be no worries or fun at night."

"Can you agree to this matter? Deputy Secretary Lin Hao is not only an elder, but also a leader, you can do anything." Fan Heng said helplessly.

"You don't have to worry. Anyway, I have a way to make everyone happy. Besides, do you think Wang Xiaoshan will stare at Fengyun Hotel every day if he has nothing to do?" Fan Wubing said with a smile.

"So what did you say?" Fan Heng was a little puzzled.

Fan Wubing smiled and said, "Wang Xiaoshan is a person who is more beautiful than Monkey. Although our family has given him a kindness to help him, and then the friendship between Boss Wang and the three brothers and Deputy Secretary Lin Hao was formed. The two together formed the current harmonious situation, but it did not make him think about us every day. I guess this time I want to see you, Deputy Secretary Lin still has the idea of ​​it."

Fan Heng thought it was right, otherwise how could he know that we were here in Longcheng so easily?

But what is Deputy Secretary Lin’s purpose for us?

"Don't worry, you'll know when you meet in the evening?" Fan Wubing said.

At around 7 o'clock in the evening, Wang Xiaoshan and Wang Laoer came together. Wang Laoer even brought two porcelain jars, saying that they were 20 years old and old Bai Fenjiu, knocked from friends.

"Time flies so fast!" Wang Xiaoshan looked at his watch and said to Fan Wubing, "I don't know how this afternoon passed."

Fan Wubing laughed, then said, "There is a joke, do you listen?"

Both of them said, so Fan Wubing said, "Once, a woman was invited by God to visit heaven. On the way to heaven, there was a long corridor, and the walls of the corridor were covered with various clocks. Some clocks walked slowly, while others walked fast. The woman felt very strange, so she asked God why there were so many clocks hanging here. God told her that every clock here represents a man in the world. So the woman asked God, why do some clocks walk fast and some clocks walk slowly? God replied that if this man had an affair, his clock would walk faster. The more affairs, the faster the clock would walk. The woman asked, "Where is my husband's clock? God answered her innocently, "Your husband's clock was taken to the office by God as an electric fan."

After hearing this, the two laughed, and Wang Xiaoshan even complained, "Mr. Xiao Fan, you are so good at harming people. I just looked at the watch and made up such a joke to bury me. If my wife hears this, maybe how can I torture me."

"Haha, it's just a joke, but your watch-looking action is so handsome, otherwise I can't remember this joke." Fan Wubing laughed.

After a while, Deputy Secretary Lin was about to come over. Fan Heng and Fan Wubing and others came out in person and took him into the room. Considering that the environment in the private room was not the most comfortable, Fan Wubing made the decision and would invite them in the room of the president.

"Presidential Suite?" Lin Hao was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "There are really not many opportunities to come here."

Fan Heng smiled and said, "Isn't this because my son is rich? He just benefits from him."

Lin Hao looked at Fan Wubing and smiled, "Yes, this child Wubing is so rich. I didn't know before. When I can't make any progress in my turnover, I finally have a place to borrow money."

"That's what he said, haha--" Everyone sat down with a smile, and then asked the waiter to serve the dishes.

After drinking a few drinks, Fan Wubing said to everyone, "I didn't have time to bring any good things when I came here this time, so I brought a few stones to enjoy."

After saying that, he took out three tart cloth packages from the suitcase. After opening them, they were cut out three jadeite raw stones. Although Wang Xiaoshan and Wang Laoer were not people who knew the goods, Lin Hao was knowledgeable and knew at a glance that this thing was not a cheap street stall product. So he picked up the piece and watched it carefully. After a long time, he raised his head and asked, "This is an authentic old pit glass type, which is very valuable!"

"I'm sorry to give it to my own people. But stones are stones. To put it bluntly, this thing cannot be eaten or drunk, it's just a plaything. Everyone keeps it and see it when they have free time. It's pleasing to the eye. This is not considered bribery, right?" Fan Wubing replied with a smile.

"You are playing tricks in front of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. Isn't this a big sword in front of Guan Gong!" Wang Xiaoshan curled his lips.

"I see this is an ordinary stone, at best, it's a little better." Wang Laoer touched his jadeite rough stone and said indifferently.

"This is not an ordinary stone. I rarely see this kind of jadeite rough stone now." Lin Hao smiled at it, "This thing is too expensive. I can't accept it, but I can't let it go. You can give it to Xiaoshan."

"Then I'll stay!" Wang Xiaoshan knew that his father-in-law said that valuable things must be quite expensive, and ordinary things cannot be seen by him. Lin Hao is an older generation of intellectuals and has some research on these things. In addition, he has many opportunities to come into contact with them and has a high vision.

Fan Wubing felt that Lin Hao seemed to be in a good mood today, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle Lin, look at your shiny face, rosy and shiny. Is there anything good thing recently?"

"Don't talk nonsense, kids, you really can't see things." Fan Heng scolded softly.

However, Lin Hao smiled and said, "It's not a good thing, it's just that the burden on the shoulders may have to be added a little."

Adding a burden? Of course everyone knows what this means. Adding a burden to the shoulders of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in charge of politics and law seems to be going up, at least he will be the governor.

Wang Xiaoshan didn't know that his father-in-law was going to be promoted, so he asked curiously, "Dad, why haven't you heard you mention it? Are you going to move your seat?"

Fan Heng, Fan Wubing and others also stared at Lin Hao, thinking that if Lin Hao became the governor, it would be a good thing, and it would be more convenient for his future actions. Although Fan Wubing's current power is not worried that anyone will find awkward for him, after all, if there are strong supporters in the province, it will be of great help to his father Fan Heng's work on Panshi.

Then Lin Hao said, "The leaders above spoke for Comrade Fan Heng, so the province is discussing Comrade Fan Heng's work trends. The preliminary decision is that Comrade Fan Heng will take over my current position and take charge of political and legal work with the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. However, I still need to obtain my consent. This time, Comrade Fan Heng will report on his work, mainly for this matter. The leaders of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee will also come down to examine Comrade Fan Heng's work performance."

Fan Heng was surprised when he heard the news. Although he was doing a great job on the rock, it was mostly because he had a son to support him. In theory, how could he get the opportunity to be promoted before he had been given more than a year? The leap from the main department to the deputy provincial level is not something that ordinary people can wait for. When he heard this news, he felt a little fluctuating in his heart. He didn't know whether this would be good or bad for him?

The person who knows the inside story of this matter is of course Fan Wubing. He naturally knew that Tian Zhenglun's father-in-law had already made efforts in secret, but he did not expect that the speed was so fast. Although Fan Heng's performance in Panshi is indeed obvious to all, there is no one in the court to support him, and it is impossible for him to have the opportunity to rise to power so soon. The position of real power at the deputy ministerial level is indeed not a false statement. With the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in charge of political and legal work, he is indeed considered to be of high power at the time, and according to Lin Hao's promotion roadmap, there may not be no possibility of becoming a governor in the future.

"But Secretary Niu seems to have not arrived yet. Could it be that Governor Ma has been promoted to the Central Committee?" Fan Wubing thought more deeply than others. When he contacted the situation in the province, he immediately thought about a possibility. If Lin Hao became the governor, where would Ma Rulong go? He is a cadre delegated from the central government. Could it be that he has gone back again?

Lin Hao was a little surprised and admired that Fan Wubing could conclude Ma Rulong's whereabouts and the position he might take over so quickly. No wonder Fan Wubing was able to attract the attention of the big guys from all sides. It was indeed a talent! So he revealed a little inside story, "Don't let this matter be rumored. The official news will probably be several days later. Comrade Ma Rulong was transferred to Ningyuan Province to serve as the governor."

Fan Wubing felt even more curious. Generally speaking, if it weren’t for the Two Sessions to adjust the positions of cadres, there would not be many opportunities for such transfers, especially for senior officials at the provincial and ministerial level, who can be regarded as chief officials in the border areas, so how could they move around at will? Frequent transfers of positions in this way would not be very good for the continuation of local policies.

Lin Hao could naturally feel everyone's doubts, so he said, "The coal mines in Ningyuan Province have been in trouble, and the former governor was withdrawn. Comrade Ma Rulong went over to change generals and went to rectify the situation there. So I plan to let me take charge of the work in Wangtian Province."

Oh, it turns out. Fan Wubing thought to himself that this matter was really a coincidence, and it was also considered that his father Fan Heng was lucky. On the one hand, Tian Zhenglun's father-in-law was having a breeze, and on the other hand, there was a vacant position in Wangtian Province. With the combination of the two, Fan Heng's Longcheng report on his job this time. It seems that there should be no problem in replacing Lin Hao as the deputy secretary in charge of political and legal work. Even if the comrades from the Organization Department of the Central Committee came to inspect, it was basically just a formality. After all, Fan Heng's political achievements in Panshi are obvious to all and no one can erase them.

Everyone congratulated Lin Hao and Fan Heng, and the drink ended until almost ten o'clock in the evening.

After seeing everyone off, Fan Wubing found that his father Fan Heng's brow was a little unrestrained, so he asked, "Dad, why are you still depressed when you are about to be promoted? Tell me to my son, how about I'll give you a staff officer?"

Fan Heng smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm really uncomfortable with it when I rise so fast all of a sudden. Let me think about it carefully."

It was getting late for Fan Wubing to see that it was getting late. Tomorrow, his father would have to report to the provincial leaders and probably be reviewed by the leaders of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. The task was too easy, so he rested early.

The next morning, Fan Heng cleaned up and went to the provincial government to meet the governor Ma Rulong.

After listening to Fan Heng's report, Ma Rulong expressed his satisfaction with Panshi's work and expressed his full affirmation of the work of the new leadership team of Panshi City. After exchanging with Fan Heng about the reconstruction of Panshi City, he encouraged him to boldly let go and strive to make Panshi a window city for the reform and development of Wangtian Province. At the end, Ma Rulong said, "Comrade Fan Heng, everyone sees your work achievements and remembers them in their hearts. This time, I asked you to come here, not just for the purpose of reporting on your duties. The comrades from the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee came to inspect the political achievements of the cadres. We recommend you. Later, we will go to the provincial party committee together. Secretary Niu and the comrades from the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee are already waiting for you."

When Fan Heng heard that this had been arranged long ago, he had to nod and agreed, followed Ma Rulong into his Audi car, drove to the provincial party committee office building, and came to Niu Manzhuang's living room.

After a greeting, the comrades from the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee began to inspect Fan Heng, which lasted for more than half an hour. Then they asked some seemingly insignificant questions. At the end, they asked, "Comrade Fan Heng, given your outstanding achievements in Panshi, and we now need to select outstanding young and middle-aged leading cadres to serve as deputy provincial leaders for Wangtian Province, so we conducted an investigation on you. Our conclusion is that you are fully qualified for this job position. Now we need your personal reply, are you willing to accept the organization's tasks and serve as deputy secretary of Wangtian Provincial Party Committee, and be in charge of political and legal work?"

When the comrades from the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee asked Fan Heng this question, the three major giants in the province were there, and Deputy Secretary Lin Hao was also present. Everyone's eyes were focused on Fan Heng. They knew that this department-level cadre under the age of fifty had good luck this time and entered the ranks of deputy provincial leaders all at once, and they just needed to nod.

But beyond everyone's expectations, Fan Heng actually started to ponder.

Lin Hao was a little anxious about him, thinking that this was such a good opportunity! How many people waited and looked forward to it, and they never could have waited for such a good opportunity in their entire lives. Now such a good opportunity has been delivered to the door by themselves. Why is Fan Heng still there to make a move? Just agree!

And there is another problem. If you refuse, it means you have not obeyed the organization's opinions. If you have similar opportunities in the future, it is probably not your turn to choose.

Niu Manzhuang and Ma Rulong were also stunned for a moment. They didn't understand why Fan Heng was silent. Xiong's mother was also very surprised. The three of them had been in the officialdom for many years and had not encountered a similar situation. So they all looked at the faces of the inspection team members of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, fearing that the other party would be unhappy and ruined the matter.

Of course, the one who felt most depressed was the people from the Organization Department of the Central Committee. They came with the task. The leaders all said that they would promote Fan Heng to a deputy provincial cadre, and they were just coming to meet the scene. Who knew that when Fan Heng came to him, they were stuck. What was going on?

"Comrade Fan Heng?" A member of the inspection team of the Organization Department of the Central Committee spoke out to remind him.

Fan Heng suddenly woke up from his thoughts. After looking at everyone, he said to everyone very sincerely, "Dear leaders, the first thing I want to emphasize is that since I arrived at Rock last year, I have done some work and achieved some achievements. These are all done with the care of the leaders and the cooperation of comrades. They cannot be simply my personal achievements. The organization hopes that I can make more contributions and give me more important positions. This is the trust of the organization. I feel extremely honored and willing to make greater contributions to the organization."

Well, this is pretty good, everyone nodded and thought to themselves that this was done.

"But--" Fan Heng suddenly continued, "From the current situation, I think that the rock needs me more!" As soon as Fan Heng said this, everyone in the room was confused. The three giants looked incredible, the comrades in the Organization Department of the Central Committee were surprised and unable to believe it, while Lin Hao was surprised and had an admirable expression in his surprise.
Chapter completed!
