Suddenly a car parked beside him. Ye Qingping, who was answering his cell phone, was startled. Yi Haitao rolled down the window and waved to him.

Ye Qingping said "goodbye" to the person on the phone, opened the car door and came up, saying: "Teacher, this car is a good one. It's not eye-catching or ostentatious. You were more thoughtful."

Yi Haitao smiled and said, "Qingping, thank you for helping me introduce Minister Lin."

"Haha, teacher, you are lucky. I'm happy to meet Minister Lin." Ye Qingping said: "I originally wanted to ask for leave from Minister Lin, but I didn't expect that Minister Lin heard that you were coming and readily said to meet him. Moreover, he also

It's a rare treat for you to go to his home. You may not know that Minister Lin usually doesn't welcome others to his home."

After Chu Tianshu heard this, he was secretly happy for Yi Haitao. According to this, Lin Guodong was very optimistic about him.

Of course, Yi Haitao was also very excited. He asked: "Qingping, please help me advise my staff. What should I prepare for this first visit to Minister Lin's house?"

"I'm really not sure about this. I only know that Minister Lin is very averse to eating, drinking and running around to deliver food." Ye Qingping thought for a while and said, "Minister Lin likes calligraphy. How about you bring some good rice paper? Lin

If the minister wants to ask, just say that you are here to ask for a letter. Teacher, what do you think?"

Yi Haitao said: "I know this. Minister Lin has said many times on various occasions that he only recognizes cadres who are down-to-earth and do practical things, and is most opposed to those cadres who only want to get official positions."

"Yes." Ye Qingping sighed: "Although Minister Lin's attitude is very clear, there are always people who rely on connections to find ways to treat guests and give gifts. I really admire the ability of some people, who can find connections all over the world. It is better to refuse at this time.

It’s hard to accept. Alas, everyone thinks that cadres in the organization department are popular, but who would have thought that it would be very difficult for Minister Lin to be the organization director.”

This should be the truth.

Yi Haitao has been involved in the officialdom for more than ten years. He knows that no matter how many official positions are provided, the supply exceeds the demand and they are always a scarce resource. People in the officialdom are eager to win. When there is a change of cadres and the adjustment of cadres, the leaders in charge of cadres will not have peace.

He could well understand the difficulties Ye Qingping said. He said: "There are so many leading cadres in the province, and all of them want to make progress. There are always more butts than positions, especially for important positions. It is necessary to select talents and utilize them, and to

Taking care of every aspect, it’s really not easy to manipulate.”

Ye Qingping felt that he had talked a bit too much, so he stopped talking and directed Chu Tianshu to stop at a cultural supplies store.

Chu Tianshu got out of the car, quickly bought some things, and came to the car again.

Yi Haitao took it and held it in his hand. He saw two pieces of fine rice paper, three brushes of different sizes and two bottles of ink.

Ye Qingping looked at it and said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, you are wasting your money."

Chu Tianshu started the car and asked, "What's going on?"

Ye Qingping said: "Minister Lin uses a fighting pen to write, and you can't use these brushes at all; also, when he writes, he is used to using an inkstone to grind ink and does not use ink at all. What you bought is not a waste.

What?"

Yi Haitao said: "Qingping, don't waste it. Minister Lin can take it back if he doesn't need it. I will practice when I have time."

Ye Qingping nodded and said no more.

Generally speaking, the hobbies of leaders are often amplified and become the hobbies of most cadres.

For example, if a leader likes to play Go, his cadres will keep several high-end clouds in their offices so that they can ask the leader for advice at any time; if a leader likes to play table tennis, cadres from various cities will keep one with them.

When you are on a business trip with your boss, you can warm up with your boss.

If a leader with a hobby does not move his position for more than ten years, there may be an amateur Go master or table tennis master among local cadres.

This is also true when it comes to officialdom in the southeast.

Nan Yanping, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, loves to eat mutton steamed buns from the northwest, and there are more and more mutton soup restaurants in Linjiang City. Governor Qiao Mingsong likes theoretical research, and leading cadres from all over the country are famous for their ability to write in "Theory and Practice" and other publications.

He is proud to publish articles in magazines; Lin Guodong, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, loves calligraphy, and almost all cadres in the provincial organization system can use a pen.

Yi Haitao proposed to practice calligraphy when he went back, which was also a gesture and method to be consistent with the leadership.

Under Ye Qingping's guidance, Chu Tianshu drove the car to the provincial party committee's family compound.

On the way, Chu Tianshu was very curious and asked Ye Qingping about the situation of the provincial party committee family compound while driving.

Ye Qingping was afraid that Yi Haitao would talk about sensitive topics again, so he took over Chu Tianshu's conversation and introduced it nonstop.

The Provincial Party Committee Family Courtyard was a park before the liberation. Going back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was a famous private garden for local wealthy merchants. There are artificial mountains, artificial lakes, quiet trees, and quite a bit of historical heritage.

The only incongruous thing is that the first secretary of the provincial party committee of Southeast Province was an Anti-League cadre who came all the way from the northeast. He couldn't stand the wooden-beam mansions of southern capitalists, so he ordered more than 20 old houses to be demolished and rebuilt in a unified way.

Seven sets of Russian-style two-story Western-style buildings were built specifically as residences for the seven senior leaders of the provincial party committee at that time.

It was originally stipulated that only provincial leaders were eligible to live in small foreign-style buildings. Until the late 1970s, this regulation was implemented very well without any breakthrough or modification. One of the important reasons is that in the past few decades, provincial leaders have

There were only a few people, one left and another came, and seven small western-style houses were basically enough.

After the reform and opening up, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes. First, a group of veteran cadres retired and joined the advisory committee. The people are no longer in office, but the level is still there, and the treatment cannot be changed. Therefore, the new provincial leaders cannot live in Xiaoyang.

Upstairs.

In order to solve this difficult problem, the provincial party committee built another villa complex for retired veteran cadres to live in.

But within a few years, this villa complex was overcrowded again. The key is that although some leaders came down, they still enjoyed the treatment of provincial leaders. Some even were deputy provincial leaders before they abdicated, and they were promoted by half a level when they abdicated.

Enjoy provincial-level treatment.

One of the most important benefits is living in a villa.

What’s more, the leader has passed away but the widow is still there, so we can’t just drive the old lady out. Therefore, it has become common for the villas to be insufficient, so we had to build a second villa complex.

In order to distinguish, the first villa group is called Area A, and the second villa group is called Area B.

In this way, there will not be much difference in treatment between the retiring leader and the current leader.

However, only current provincial leaders and top-ranking standing committee members are eligible to live in small foreign-style houses. This rule has not changed.

The lower-ranked members of the Standing Committee can only work in Districts A and B, and be neighbors with the retired old leaders of the CPPCC National People's Congress. However, the old leaders are unhappy with the better treatment of the new leaders, so they will do so consciously or unconsciously.

The ground has to play a supervisory role. As a result, the new standing committee members sometimes feel a lot of inconvenience and even a little awkward.

In order to solve this problem, the Provincial Party Committee General Office came up with another way. In addition to a villa in District A and District B, the current Standing Committee also has a separate split-level building in the Lotus Hotel, which is larger than the villa.

It is smaller, nominally so that the current leader can handle some official duties at night without being affected by his family members.

The Lianhua Hotel was an earlier guest house of the Provincial Party Committee. It has a back door connected to the courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee family members, and a side door connected to the Lianhua Lake Park. In addition to a few buildings, there is also a group of split-story buildings with separate doors and courtyards, which are not continued to be called District C.

, but it is called VIP Building to show that it is different from the villas where leaders live.

When central ministers come to Southeast Province, they are usually arranged to stay in VIP buildings.

Several leaders of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee currently have villas in the Xiaoyanglou, Area A, and Area B where they live with their families, while the VIP Building is also allocated a split-level building for office work or reception at night.

.

Lin Guodong came from the Organization Department of the Central Committee. The general office originally allocated a villa in District B, but he did not agree to live in it. The reason was that he did not bring his family members, but he occupied two sets of living rooms alone and had to

Arrange at least two internal staff, and prepare two sets of all living and office facilities, which is too wasteful.

He said that living in the split-level building in the VIP Building can solve all his daily life and work as a bachelor.

However, Ye Qingping said that it was true that Lin Guodong found it troublesome, but he wanted more peace and quiet.

According to his level, he is also qualified to live in a single-family villa in District B. But after moving in, he will have to be neighbors with other provincial committee members and old leaders. It is inconvenient for each other to come in and out every day. It is better to live alone in VIP

Feel free in the building.

This is also the reason why the small foreign-style buildings of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary and the Governor are separated at the east and west ends of the compound and do not face each other.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the provincial party committee family compound, Chu Tianshu got out of the car automatically and walked towards the guard room.

In such a tightly guarded high-level residence, not to mention taxis, even a BMW Land Rover without a pass or reservation must park at the side door and get out of the car to register.

Chu Tianshu showed his ID and said, "We are here to see Minister Lin Guodong and we have an appointment."

The guard in the guard room opened the appointment record book coldly, his expression softened slightly, he checked Chu Tianshu's ID card, handed him the registration book, and pointed to the signature area.

Chu Tianshu smiled, signed, and drove towards the compound.

Under the light, the yard is full of flowers, and the road is lined with exquisite Australian lawns. Not far away are two artificial lakes the size of football fields. The clear lake water is waving with microwaves. There is a pavilion in the middle of the lake. To the east of the pavilion, it faces several Russian buildings.

A small Western-style building.

When Chu Tianshu saw it, he couldn't help but feel in awe, because a few people living in these nine small foreign-style buildings controlled the fate of tens of millions of people in Southeast Province.

As the car passed through the compound and headed towards the VIP building at the back, Chu Tianshu suddenly had an incredible thought: When can I take Wan Qing and my children to live in these small western-style buildings?

Although this thought only passed by for a moment, it really shocked him, and he suddenly felt like he was rebellious and wanted to usurp power.
