Chapter 342 [Persistence] (Part 1)

Song Huaiming smiled at Zhang Yang and said, "Secretary Gu is coming to have a meal, I bought a roast duck and come here!"

Liu Yuying took the roast duck over and said a little embarrassedly: "Old Song, you won't let someone give it a piece, my knife skills can't be cut into thin slices!"

Zhang Yang volunteered: "I'll do it!"

Song Huaiming said: "Hurry up! Secretary Gu will come over immediately!"

Zhang Yang followed Liu Yuying to the kitchen. As soon as Liu Yuying prepared the knife, Gu Yunzhi arrived. Gu Yunzhi did not come empty-handed, so he brought a smoked duck.

Even Song Huaiming couldn't help laughing. Today is good, I'll have a happy duck banquet.

Gu Yunzhi didn't expect Zhang Yang to be here and said happily: "Zhang Yang, when did you go back to Dongjiang?"

Zhang Yang said: "Aunt Liu asked me for something about the afternoon, so I came over and had a meal!" He cleverly found an excuse, and of course Liu Yuying would not expose him.

But he didn't know that what he said was a bit more obvious in Gu Yunzhi's ears. What an old man, Gu Yunzhi immediately understood that Zhang Yang was afraid of what he thought. He laughed in his heart and said softly: "That smoked duck is a specialty of Nancy, and my hometown sent it to me!"

Liu Yuying went to cut the smoked duck, and Zhang Yang took the roast duck slices. The two big men in Pinghai Province were attracted by the sword skills of this guy. But when Zhang Yang waved the kitchen knife in his hand, he fell on the roast duck with ease and simplicity. The duck meat fell into the tray like snowflakes as the sword light flashed. Even the master Quanjude's sword skills were not the case. One hundred and eight swords were not more than one sword. Zhang Yang was also deliberately showing off in front of the two big men. He took out all the sword skills he learned and the ability to cut Chinese medicine in the past.

Gu Yunzhi and Song Huaiming were both dumbfounded. This kid is such a strange guy!

Song Huaiming invited Gu Yunzhi to sit in the restaurant and asked Zhang Yang to open a bottle of Maotai. Zhang Yang respectfully poured good wine for the two big shots and sat on the side. He thought that Gu Yunzhi would definitely not go to the Three Treasures Hall today. He felt that he was a little extra here, so he should deal with two glasses and leave as soon as possible!

Gu Yun knew: "Zhang Yang, I heard that your performance in Chunyang this time is very good!" Secretary Gu used the three words very good, which shows his affirmation of Zhang Yang's work achievements this time.

Zhang Yang said: "I didn't do anything, I just helped the Discipline Inspection Commission working group understand the situation." This guy showed rare modesty today. He also understood that he had his work achievements, but those methods may not be able to catch the eyes of Gu Yunzhi and Song Huaiming.

Song Huaiming smiled and said, "It's not easy. Can you actually learn to be modest?"

Gu Yun knew: "This is progress, and one's mistakes will lead to wisdom. It can be seen that young people are not afraid of making mistakes, but are afraid of not learning from their mistakes, and making the same mistakes repeatedly!"

Zhang Yang said: "What the two leaders have taught is that I will respect my teaching in the future, study hard, and improve every day, and strive to be an excellent Communist Party member and a qualified state cadre, laying a solid foundation for me to be promoted to a department-level cadre!"

Gu Yunzhi and Song Huaiming were both amused by this guy's shamelessness. Gu Yunzhi pointed at Zhang Yang's nose and smiled: "Huaiming, your son-in-law is looking for an official position!"

Song Huaiming shook his head helplessly: "The official is not something that needs to be brought, it is done step by step! Young people should not always think about promotion. They should take one step at a time. If they do their duties well, they are still worried about not getting appreciated?"

Liu Yuying brought the hen pot that had just been prepared and delivered it. Gu Yunzhi praised: "It smells so good!"

Liu Yuying smiled and served Gu Yunzhi a bowl: "Secretary Gu taste it first, I've been cooking it for a day!"

Gu Yunzhi took a sip of thick and white hen soup and praised: "It's so delicious! Huaiming is so lucky!"

Song Huaiming smiled and said, "I was attracted by Yuying because she often made soup for me!"

Liu Yuying looked at her husband with anger, but the endless affection rippled in her beautiful eyes.

Gu Yunzhi sighed: "The older a person is, the more nostalgic he will be with his family. I now feel a sense of resistance to official banquets from the bottom of my heart, but it won't work if I don't go. Calculate carefully. It's not long since I left. I'm really looking forward to it!"

Song Huaiming said: "Does Secretary Gu really plan to leave Pinghai?"

Gu Yun knew: "Since I decided to retreat, I will retreat completely. Most of us have lived in the system for most of our lives. While working, we can't help but lose our feelings with our family. Now, I always feel a sense of guilt when I think of my parents, my wife, and my children. I am already sixty-five years old. For me, there is not much time left. Of course, I will continue to serve the country and benefit the people, but my age and energy are no longer allowed. Instead of becoming a barrier for later generations, it is better to retreat while I am still walking and not confused, and leave the opportunity to you backbone, and I can also enjoy my life. Why not do it?"

Song Huaiming greeted Gu Yunzhi with a glass of wine: "Second people can compare to Secretary Gu's mind and courage."

Gu Yunzhi smiled and said, "Can I understand it as a compliment? We have been working on the team for a while, and you should see my shortcomings in my work!"

Zhang Yang interrupted: "Secretary Gu is experienced and has a far-sighted vision, and there is nothing to be desired!"

Gu Yunzhi and Song Huaiming both laughed. Gu Yun knew: "Once young people say that you are experienced, the real meaning is that you are old. Now is the era of reform and opening up. We are almost all on the same starting line. When it comes to experience, I am ashamed. Huaiming, my thinking can no longer keep up with the development of the current era. Although I am constantly learning and want to keep up with the pace of the times, but when I am old, the inherent concepts formed in my mind are deeply rooted and some cannot be changed. The leadership should also comply with the laws of nature and must metabolize in time! Otherwise, there will be problems, lose balance, and cause pathological and unhealthy things."

Song Huaiming said: "Secretary Gu has no nostalgia for his career he has been in for many years?"

Gu Yun knew: "Nostalgia! No one can be ruthless than plants and trees. I will definitely be reluctant to let go of my career after I have been engaged in most of my life. But once I think that staying will only affect the development of my career, I still choose to leave!"

Song Huaiming admires Gu Yunzhi from the bottom of his heart, and few people can do such free and easy as Gu Yunzhi.

Zhang Yang's cell phone suddenly rang. The guy deliberately rang the ringtone and walked to the side. Well, um, ah, pretended to say twice, returned to the restaurant, and said apologetically: "Secretary Gu, Governor Song, something happened to my friend, I have to go there quickly!"

Song Huaiming nodded and said, "Go!"

Liu Yuying sent Zhang Yang out and came outside the door. Liu Yuying asked about Chu Yanran again. Zhang Yang said, "Auntie Liu, she is waiting in the United States to inherit the Benin Consortium. The old lady asked her to stay for a while and get familiar with the company's business before coming back."

Liu Yuying nodded and sighed, "The father and daughter are still strangers, and I don't know when they will make up!"

Zhang Yang said: "It's much better. At least now I can sit together and have dinner. Aunt Liu is better off with the flow. Haste is not enough!"

Liu Yuying smiled and said, "I understand, your child seems to be much more mature recently!"

It was not just Liu Yuying who had this view. Song Huaiming knew that Zhang Yang came to him to report to Jiangcheng, but Gu Yunzhi was here. Zhang Yang realized that it was inconvenient to disturb him, so he chose to leave in time. From this point, it can be seen that this kid's ability to judge the situation has improved compared to the past.

Although there were a lot of meat on the table, Gu Yunzhi rarely ate it. He just picked a few vegetarian dishes and whispered: "I thought Zhang Yang would fight again when he went back, causing a storm!"

Song Huaiming smiled and said, "I am worried so too, but I didn't expect that he would handle it well this time!"

Gu Yun knew: "A Communist Party member actually found a monk to tell the people about cause and effect. He really is his!"

Song Huaiming couldn't help but smile.

Gu Yunzhi picked up the wine glass and clinked him and said, "But if you think about it carefully, this is the best way to deal with it. We usually talk about ideological work, and the first thing we think of is Marxism, Lenin and Mao. But when we talk about these people in these mountains, people can't listen to it. Zhang Yang chose this entry point, which is easy to understand, so it is easy for people to accept. He did it without any effort when the police could not do anything with force!"

Song Huaiming said: "This kid never plays according to common sense. At such a sensitive moment, he actually dares to hit people with an air gun!"

Gu Yun knew: "To be fair, his shot was great! Not only did he dispel the focus of the contradiction, but he also successfully reversed the direction of the whole thing."

Song Huaiming said: "Du Tianye's handling of the Qingtai Mountain armed battle incident is still not mature!"

Gu Yunzhi nodded with empathy: "He has no experience in working at the grassroots level and was suddenly helped to this position. Although he is capable and enthusiastic, he lacks experience after all, and he is too young."

Song Huaiming suddenly said: "Actually, the storm this time is not just for him!"

Gu Yunzhi had just approached his lips. He lowered the wine glass when he heard this and stared at Song Huaiming with deep eyes: "Who is that right?"

Song Huaiming can be sure that Gu Yunzhi had seen the whole thing clearly, but this Pinghai boss must have his own plan. When a person is about to retire, the way of dealing with things will definitely change. The relationship between Song Huaiming and Gu Yunzhi is by no means close. If you have to find a word to describe their relationship, you will be respectful to each other at most. Gu Yunzhi's view on developing Pinghai's economy has many differences with Song Huaiming, but they all rationally retained this difference so that this difference will not evolve into an uncontrollable contradiction. In short, after Song Huaiming took office, the two teams were still in peace. Song Huaiming had already figured out the source of this matter. After the problem arose, he could not put his hopes on others to solve the problem.

Song Huaiming picked up the wine glass and touched Gu Yunzhi, drank all the wine in the glass. He asked bluntly: "Secretary Gu should know who your successor is, right?"

Gu Yunzhi's face Gu Jingbubo: "I will go to Beijing next week!"

Song Huaiming said: "Vice Premier Wen and I were on the phone!"

The two seemed to be talking to each other, but they already understood what each other wanted to say.

Gu Yun knew: "Huaiming, I hope Pinghai can develop stably and steadily. Our politics is for the people, for better economic development, to promote national prosperity and strength, not for fighting for power and profit!"

Song Huaiming said: "Secretary Gu, I am not from Pinghai, but I have a strong sense of belonging to the land under my feet. I have served as an official and benefited the people. I have not been the governor for a long time. I have not yet been able to seek welfare for the people of Pinghai in this position. In my heart, serving the people is always much more important than being an official!"

Gu Yunzhi looked at Song Huaiming with appreciation. If he could really do what he said, Song Huaiming's calm mentality had already achieved the qualified quality of a head of his family.

Gu Yun knew: "Any job has a running-in process. Starting from Xu Changde, I have been considering the running-in issue of Pinghai's leadership in the future. How can the Pinghai train be able to continue to move forward without slowing down after I left. Then Xu Changde, the deputy commander, got off the train quickly and you will take over him. I began to consider the cooperation between us. Only now I understand that in fact, I have always been worrying about the development of the times. The laws of the development of the times are not transferred by anyone's will. I can't do it, no one can do it. Our cadre team has never lacked far-sighted people, but what they really lack is the word pragmatism!"

Song Huaiming nodded heavily.

Gu Yun knew: "More than ten years ago, when I went to Jiangcheng and was visiting Qingtai Mountain, I accidentally saw a huge rock, square, standing proudly between heaven and earth. I stood in front of the stone for a long time. The creation of heaven and earth is all-encompassing in all shapes. However, in nature, such square stones are extremely rare. They have changed and changed the world. After wind and rain, it would be difficult to see such angular stones without the collapse of the mountain. I admire its square stone and gave it the name of a square stone. But recently when I went to the East China Sea, I saw another stone, standing on the surface of the sea. No matter how wind and waves hit it, it always stands tall. It lacks the edges of square stones, but the shock it gave me is no less than that square stone."

Song Huaiming listened quietly to Gu Yunzhi's words.
