Overall, the National Track and Field Championships can be described as tepid. If it weren't for the arrival of Niu Family Army, many people wouldn't even know that Nanwu had such a game. Except for the Niu Family Army participating in the occupancy rate, no one would care about other games at all. Zhang Yang also watched a few games. Seeing that the national game was so deserted, he would not dare to be too optimistic about the attendance rate of this year's Pinghai Provincial Games.

After watching the 100-meter race, Li Hongyang pointed to the sparse people in the stands and said, "Director Zhang, the National Track and Field Championships should be larger than our Provincial Games. Look, there are not many people watching. The attention to track and field in our country is too low."

Chang Hai thought to himself: "Our new sports center is not small. If there are few people watching it, wouldn't it be even more deserted?"

Zhang Yang said: "We can only mobilize enterprises and institutions. All the popularity is thanks to everyone. Even if you send the tickets for free, you have to ensure that the attendance rate of the stadium reaches 80%.

Li Hongyang sighed and said, "I'm afraid that some games will give you free tickets, and no one is willing to come."

Zhang Yang said: "Optimistic, isn't our Provincial Games becoming more and more attractive now? I have invited so many influential people to be endorsed by the image. I am confident that this Pinghai Provincial Games will be the most successful sports meeting in history."

After the meeting, each representative of Yuhui received a souvenir. This time it was not the Chinese turtle pill, but the shirt sponsored by Tianjiao Group. There was also a celebration dinner held by Taihong Iron and Steel Group that night, aiming to see off these sports officials from all over the country.

Many delegates had already left early. Although Zhang Yang did not leave, he did not attend this dinner. He knew that Taihong's boss Zhao Yongfu had an opinion on him because of his son Zhao Guoliang's affairs, so why bother to get upset?

Chang Haixin went to her uncle for dinner. She wanted to invite Zhang Yang to go with her, but Zhang Yang happened to receive an invitation that she could not refuse. Jiao Naiwang, the Nanwu Municipal Party Committee, invited him to dinner.

Niu Junsheng was invited with Zhang Yang, but Niu Junsheng had already left Yun'an because he was rushing back to Yandong.

Jiao Naiwang is a member of the Standing Committee of Yun'an Province and the Vice Governor of Yun'an Province. This level of treating Zhang Yang to dinner has given him enough face, and Zhang Yang is not easy to refuse. The place where he was invited was located in the Second Guesthouse of Qitian Lakeside Municipal Government.

The owner is Jiao Naiwang's son Jiao Shumin. He is the general manager of Tianhe Office Supplies Company in Yun'an Province, his wife Pan Hong, and he is a college classmate. They founded the Tianhe Office Supplies Company in collaboration. Now that the business is in order, Pan Hong chose to be a full-time housewife at home.

Jiao Naiwang's other youngest son, Jiao Shutang, also attended the banquet that night. He is currently studying for a master's degree in Shanghai.

Zhang Yang went to the banquet alone. Jiao Shutang was responsible for greeting him outside the door. When he saw Zhang Yang get out of the car, he came over with a smile: "Hello Director Zhang!"

Zhang Yang had never seen Jiao Shutang and said in confusion: "You are..."

Jiao Shutang said: "I am Jiao Shutang, you saved that little boy is my nephew!"

Only then did Zhang Yang find out his identity and smiled and said, "Hello! Jiao*** is so polite. A small matter is so grand."

Jiao Shutang said: "It's not my father's intention today. My elder brother and sister-in-law insist on inviting you over. We must express our gratitude in person." He brought Zhang Yang to the private room, and Jiao Shumin greeted him: "Director Zhang, thank you for saving my son!" Jiao Shumin held Zhang Yang's hand tightly, and his gratitude was beyond words.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "You are Jiao Shumin. I just said you are too polite. In fact, in that case, anyone with a conscience would do that."

While talking, Jiao Naiwang and his wife Qi Min arrived together, and Zhang Yang hurried over to say hello.

Jiao Naiwang smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang is here, sorry, I'll treat you to dinner, but I'm late. I'm going to deal with some things at work. We people in the system are involuntarily!" He introduced his wife to Zhang Yang, and the ones who came with him were Sui Dong, the mayor of Nanwu City. Jiao Naiwang and Sui Dong cooperated with each other. Their personal relationship has always been very good, which is rare in the domestic system.

After several people sat down, Jiao Naiwang asked the waiter to open the curtains. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was the vast Qitian Lake. Jiao Naiwang's grandson Jiao Chuancheng also came back from playing outside. His mother Pan Hong accompanied him.

When Jiao Chuancheng saw Zhang Yang, his big eyes flashed. The child was quite clever and walked over, grabbed Zhang Yang's arm and said, "Uncle Zhang, thank you for saving me!"

Zhang Yang smiled and pinched his little face: "You are very brave. You were not panicked when the fire broke out. You are also a little hero."

Jiao Naiwang smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang, tonight is a family banquet, and it is not of any kind. Although I, the Municipal Party Committee, and the Mayor Sui Dong, are here, don't treat us as leaders. Everyone is their own people, sit together to eat and drink."

Zhang Yang said: "Jiao***, I was not the one who saved people that day. I am really embarrassed to be so polite."

Jiao Naiwang said: "The child's eyes are sharp, and I believe what the child says."

Sui Dong smiled and said, "Zhang Yang, everyone is not an outsider, Jiao *** and Vice Premier Wen are old friends."

When Zhang Yang heard Sui Dong's words, he suddenly realized that tonight's banquet was not just about thanking himself, his life-savior. Jiao Naiwang, as the municipal party committee, invited him to dinner, another very important reason was that for his godfather Wen Guoquan's face, the political humanity was very complicated. What you saw might be very simple, but behind it was definitely not what you saw.

Jiao Naiwang smiled and said, "You saved the inheritance. I specially called Vice Premier Wen to thank him for educating you such an excellent young man."

Zhang Daguanren said in his heart that his excellence has little to do with Wen Guoquan. Jiao Naiwang thanked Wen Guoquan, and this is all about it! He thought so in his heart, but said in his mouth: "My godfather often teaches me the principles of being a human being, and I have always regarded him as my role model."

Jiao Naiwang said to his two sons: "You two must study hard from Zhang Yang in the future. Young people must have this spirit of sacrificing their lives for the country and the people."

Jiao Naiwang and Sui Dong were both very kind. Although Zhang Yang was not sure whether they performed like this in the Nanwu officialdom, their performance tonight was very sincere. The two stayed at the scene for more than an hour and left first. Zhang Yang originally wanted to leave, but the two brothers Jiao Shumin asked him to stay for a while. They prepared a yacht and asked Zhang Yang to travel to Qitian Lake at night.

While having a meal, Jiao Shumin didn't communicate much with Zhang Yang except for thanking him. Now only the three young people were left. The atmosphere was naturally much easier than before, and the conversation became much easier.

Jiao Shumin handed Zhang Yang a glass of red wine and said, "Director Zhang, we will be friends in the future. If you can use my place, just say hello."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Brother Shumin is so polite. If you really treat me as a friend, don't always talk about Xie. Also, don't call me Director Zhang, just call me Zhang Yang."

Jiao Shumin nodded with a smile and said, "Okay! Zhang Yang, cheers!"

The two of them had this cup.

Jiao Shutang walked over with a tray, with snacks like beef, jerky, peanuts and other snacks in it. Jiao Shutang put the tray on the small round table and pulled a chair to sit on the deck. The wind was not strong that night, and the lake was quiet. The lights around Qitian Lake were brilliant, decorating this lake extremely beautifully.

Jiao Shutang said: "Brother Zhang, have you ever heard of a professor named Yu Ziliang when you come from Pinghai?"

Zhang Yang said: "He is my good friend!"

Jiao Shutang felt enlightened as soon as he heard this: "Brother Zhang, he is a famous brain expert in our country! Do you have a really good relationship with him?"

Zhang Yang nodded.

Jiao Shutang said: "Then I beg you for an internship. I was about to beg you. I was originally scheduled to be in a brain hospital in Shanghai, but I heard that Professor Yu, the one with the highest level of brain surgery in China, is that I want to go to his place to study with him."

Jiao Shumin made a request as soon as he met Zhang Yang. He felt a little impolite and scolded: "Shutang, don't ask your brother Zhang!"

Zhang Yang laughed: "What a problem!" He took out his cell phone and called Yu Ziliang immediately. Based on his relationship with Yu Ziliang, there was no problem in arranging Jiao Shutang to Yu Ziliang for an internship.

The two Jiao Shumin brothers did what they said when they saw Zhang Yang, and they finalized the matter with just one phone call, and they had a deeper understanding of his abilities.

Zhang Yang's trip to Nanwu is worth it. This trip not only helped Ping Hai win a gold medal in men's middle and long-distance running, but also formed a deep friendship with Niu Junsheng. The fire incident also made him the benefactor of Jiao Naiwang's family, the Nanwu Municipal Party Committee. What he gained was not only gratitude, but also a connection and a political resource that benefited endlessly. Of course, the most important point was that this trip to Nanwu gave him an essential breakthrough between him and Chang Haixin.

After returning to Nancy, Zhang Yang first went to his superior leader, Deputy Mayor Gong Qiwei, to briefly report on some of the situations he went to Nanwu this time.

Gong Qiwei was also very pleased that at this track and field championship, Nancy athletes actually won a gold medal in mid- and long-distance running. Gong Qiwei said: "This gold medal in mid- and long-distance running is equivalent to giving our Nancy sports industry a shot of stimulant. Recently, all newspapers and newspapers are talking about this matter."

Zhang Yang said: "I promised to give Niu Zhenwei a reward of 30,000 yuan. I plan to use this opportunity to promote it well, so that our athletes in Nancy can inspire fighting spirit, build confidence, and strive to achieve good results in this provincial game."

Gong Qiwei nodded and said, "We should take advantage of this opportunity to promote it well."

Zhang Yang said: "Have the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission's working group left?" He used this to draw up the topic and wanted to ask Xu Guangran if the matter between those people has come to an end.

Gong Qiwei said: "Let's go, the comrades from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection's working group are all gone."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's okay if they leave. If they don't leave, our Nancy will not be able to settle down."

Gong Qiwei said: "They will not have much to do with you if they leave. If they want to find out that they are illegal cadres, they don't need to be shocked as long as they abide by the law."

Zhang Yang said: "Mayor Gong, I want to discuss something with you."

Gong Qiwei said: "Tell me!"

What Zhang Yang wants to talk about is the matter of the stadium plot. At that time, Wang Junyao bought the development rights of this land, which was 200 million yuan. According to the conditions agreed in advance, 30% of the proceeds from the auction will be allocated to the Sports Commission for the construction of the new sports center and the upcoming provincial sports start-up funds. However, Wang Junyao is dead, and the development of this land is also shelved there. The Sports Commission has received a total of 30 million yuan from the city. Currently, it is almost used to pay the project funds for the new sports center. There are still 30 million yuan naturally nowhere to be settled. Zhang Yang said: "Mayor Gong, look, are you mentioning it to the city and implementing the development of the stadium plot as soon as possible? Now many businesses have expressed strong interest in this land."

Gong Qiwei said: "I mentioned this matter to Li***, and Li*** believes that this matter should be put aside for the time being."

"Why?" Zhang Yang said inexplicably.

Gong Qiwei said: "Although the Discipline Inspection Commission's people have left, Wang Junyao's funding issues are still under investigation. Before the matter is investigated clearly, the matter of the stadium plot cannot be started for the time being."

Zhang Yang said: "But the Saving Games is about to be held. I am short of money. It is hard for a good cook to cook without rice. Seeing that the projects of the new sports center are facing completion, I promised in advance to settle the project payment for others. Every debt is about to expire. Our government has to keep its word. If I break my promise this time, how can I gain the trust of these construction contractors in the future? How will my next investment promotion action be carried out?"

Gong Qiwei smiled and said, "Don't worry, let me tell you good news. Li *** had already stated at the Standing Committee that this Provincial Games should be regarded as the top priority of Nancy. Through this Provincial Games, we should show the new look of Nancy to the people of Pinghai Province. We should let all citizens of Nancy rebuild their confidence in our leadership, so don't worry, the finances will not be too harsh on you."

Zhang Yang also believed that after Li Changyu took office, his life would be much better than when Xu Guangran was in power. However, Nancy's financial situation is not optimistic now, and there are many key construction projects carried out at the same time. Even if Li Changyu attaches importance to the Provincial Games, he will not be able to take the Provincial Games as the first priority. Don't forget that there is a deep water port, which is the top priority of Nancy's construction.

Gong Qiwei said: "When it comes to investment promotion, I also have something I want to discuss with you."

Zhang Yang said: "You are the executive vice mayor, you don't need to discuss with me, just give orders."

Gong Qiwei couldn't help but smile: "You said this. I want you to be responsible for the investment promotion work in Nancy. Investment promotion is your old job. You must be familiar with it and there is no problem of getting started."

Zhang Yang said: "Mayor Gong, the work of our Sports Committee has just improved a little. Are you going to move me to the place?"

Gong Qiwei smiled and said, "You misunderstood. You will continue to be the director of the Sports Committee. Since we are going to hold the Provincial Games this time, why not take advantage of the Provincial Games to make the sports platform and perform the economy. During the Provincial Games, a Nanxi Jinqiu Economic and Trade Fair will be held at the same time. The two activities complement each other and complement each other. What do you think?"

Zhang Yangxin said that sports are playing the stage economy and performing opera. He held the Fuyang Festival when he was in Jiangcheng. At that time, the banner was that culture is playing the stage economy and performing opera. In fact, it is the same in nature. Selling dog meat with the title of sheep is the ultimate goal of serving economic construction. This is also a helpless thing. In today's society, the most important thing is to comment on whether a cadre has the ability to govern, not how much cultural work is done, not how many gold medals he can win, but whether he can improve the economic income level. The GDP is strong, and everything depends on data. This forced leading cadres to put economic construction first and everything serves economic construction.

Gong Qiwei said: "This is the unanimous opinion after the discussion of the Standing Committee. According to convention, this matter should be the responsibility of the Municipal Investment Promotion Office, but Li *** proposed that you should be responsible for the overall responsibility of this matter, because you have had experience in Nancy in the past, and you are the commander-in-chief of the Provincial Games. How to make the Economic and Trade Fair and Provincial Games complement each other instead of mutual influence, it is the most appropriate for you to arrange it. So after discussion, we decided that you should be responsible for the commander-in-chief of the Provincial Games and the Economic and Trade Fair, and the Sports Committee and the Investment Promotion Office work together. What do you think?"

When Zhang Daren heard this, he said that this was a good thing, which was equivalent to being promoted to him. Although the level has not changed, at least from now to the meeting, he has the right to speak in the Sports Committee and the Investment Promotion Office. It is really powerful. He was happy, but said in his mouth: "I am afraid that my ability is limited..."

Gong Qiwei said: "Don't be humble, we all know your abilities very well."

"I'm afraid other comrades will have opinions about me..."

"As long as it is beneficial to the development of Nancy, everyone will support you!"

Zhang Yang said, "But... I'm just a department-level cadre!" This guy started to act like a good person. Although he knew that he had just been promoted to the position of the official position, he was unlikely to be appointed again, but this guy still had to say a few words.

Gong Qiwei said: "If you do these two things well, you will have political achievements. Only with political achievements can you make greater progress? Zhang Yang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't miss it."

Zhang Yang said: "Then... I'll give it a try! But I have a condition too."

Gong Qiwei nodded and said, "As long as it is a reasonable request, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Zhang Yang said: "First, I require independence in work. My superior is you. Others cannot point fingers at my work." The reason why Zhang Yang said this was because he knew that Nancy was much older than his, and he didn't want anyone to put a spell on him. Gong Qiwei was his direct leader and someone Zhang Yang admired more. With his understanding of Gong Qiwei, Gong Qiwei is a real person who does big things and will not create difficulties for him in unnecessary trivial matters.

Gong Qiwei said: "No problem."

Zhang Yang said: "Secondly, I must select the members of the Economic and Trade Fair Organizing Committee, and the investment promotion office must cooperate with my work unconditionally." This means emphasizing that his power must be above the investment promotion office.

Gong Qiwei said: "It's no problem!"

Seeing that Gong Qiwei supported him so much, Zhang Yang had nothing to say. In fact, the Economic and Trade Fair and Provincial Games are not in conflict. Two things can be done as one thing.

Gong Qiwei said earnestly: "Zhang Yang, this Provincial Games and Economic and Trade Fair must be held successfully. Our Nancy is in need of a beautiful turnaround battle at present."

When Zhang Yang was about to express his determination, Gong Qiwei's secretary hurried in. He reported to Gong Qiwei for an urgent matter, but it was a serious water pollution incident in Cuiyun Lake. The reason was that a large amount of sewage flowing from the upper reaches of the Tuan River polluted Cuiyun Lake. The North District Water Plant near Cuiyun Lake was responsible for providing more than one million people in Nanxi city. At present, due to the water quality pollution incident, emergency plans have been launched and water supply has been stopped throughout the city.

After hearing the news, Gong Qiwei couldn't sit still. He decided to go to the scene to check it out and said to Zhang Yang: "Xiao Zhang, go and have a look with me!"
