Great Medicine Without Borders

Xu Chunliang said: "What do you think Secretary Zhang's intention is in inviting us?"

Jiang Qiyong said: "Just to show off your presence. Tell him that I have made arrangements." He felt a little unhappy. One of the reasons was that Zhang Song invited me too suddenly. Another reason was that he lacked sincerity. You invited me and didn't just come over to say it. You could just call me. You actually passed the message through Xu Chunliang. Do you really think you are my leader? Now the leader designates me to preside over the work.

Xu Chunliang told Jiang Qiyong about Zhang Song's request to change the office. Jiang Qiyong was amused by Zhang Song's request. Although the matter was not big, it was unknown what Zhang Song was thinking when he made such a request at this sensitive moment. Jiang Qiyong asked Xu Chunliang to do it. He couldn't openly oppose it anyway.

Xu Chunliang couldn't be sure that Zhang Song would definitely take the position. It was Jiang Qiyong's freedom to give Zhang Song face or not, and he couldn't say much.

Xu Chunliang himself would definitely go there. He had a hunch that the Civil Affairs Bureau was going to change again. In a few days, Zhang Song would become the new owner here, otherwise his attitude would not be so positive and proactive.

Xu Chunliang contacted Qin Zhengyang who was still in Beijing, hoping to get some information from him. Qin Zhengyang was not aware of this, anyway, Secretary Wang did not mention this matter.

Xu Chunliang went to the canteen of the welfare home half an hour in advance. The director of the welfare home, Zhang Shunda, had already asked people to prepare it. When he saw Xu Chunliang's car coming in, he personally led it to the parking space and took the initiative to help Xu Chunliang open the car door: "Director Xu, it's early enough."

Xu Chunliang said: "Leaders must be proactive in inviting guests."

Zhang Shunda said: "Secretary Zhang is not here. I heard that several major leaders in our bureau will come tonight."

Xu Chunliang said: "I don't know. Secretary Zhang didn't tell me who he was going to invite." He only knew that Jiang Qiyong was invited, but Jiang Qiyong was unwilling to come.

Zhang Shunda said, "I personally bought all the vegetables today at the market. Our bureau is in a turbulent period recently. I ride a tricycle when I go out to buy vegetables to avoid gossip."

Xu Chunliang laughed. Zhang Shunda is an old man in the Civil Affairs Bureau. It was once rumored that he might be promoted to deputy director, but his name did not appear in the subsequent adjustments. Now he is still staying in the welfare home steadily, and his ability to deal with people is also extraordinary.

Xu Chunliang deliberately said, "Zhang Yuan and Secretary Zhang are very familiar with each other?"

Zhang Shunda did not shy away from this topic: "Old friends, we both have the surname Zhang, and we were one family five hundred years ago."

Xu Chunliang laughed. Zhang Shunda asked him to sit inside first. The tea was ready. At present, only Xu Chunliang came. Xu Chunliang noticed that the second largest private room in the cafeteria was used. This private room can seat twelve people. If Zhang Song catches all the main cadres of the Civil Affairs Bureau, it is estimated that he can also sit down.

Zhang Shunda sat with Xu Chunliang, and the topic of the two inevitably came to Wang Tongan's matter.

Zhang Shunda said, "Do you know that Director Wang was placed under double supervision?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I just heard about it. It is said that it is a lifestyle issue."

Zhang Shunda sighed and said, "Qin Yujiao has resigned and left. I didn't expect that the past would be dug up. The current disciplinary inspection is really getting stronger and stronger. There is zero tolerance for violations of discipline."

Xu Chunliang said, "I remember that we drank here together last time, and Song Xinyu was at the same table."

Zhang Shunda looked around the private room. Xu Chunliang's memories made him feel a little uncomfortable. Two of the people at the same table had been investigated for violations of discipline. The accident rate was a bit too high.

Xu Chunliang deliberately said, "Let's change rooms."

Zhang Shunda agreed with Xu Chunliang's idea and immediately called the waiter over and asked them to change to another room.

Xu Chunliang thought that the relationship between Zhang Shunda and Zhang Song should be very unusual. Zhang Shunda may have received the news first. He moved to the next room and sat down again. He asked tentatively: "Director Zhang, what do you think will happen to our Civil Affairs Bureau this time?"

Zhang Shunda said: "We all work under orders. Leadership changes are the business of the upper level. Whoever comes, we all obey orders and follow instructions."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Director Zhang sees it clearly. By the way, do you think Director Jiang can be corrected this time?"

Zhang Shunda said: "Isn't he in charge of the work now? Otherwise, you can ask Secretary Zhang when he comes."

Xu Chunliang said: "It's hard for me to ask."

Zhang Shunda smiled and said: "What's wrong with asking? You and Secretary Zhang have known each other for many years, right?"

Xu Chunliang nodded and said: "When he was Secretary Zhou's secretary, when did you know each other?"

Zhang Shunda said: "It's been 20 years. Secretary Zhang is here. I'll go to meet him."

Xu Chunliang looked out the window and a black Haval drove in.

Xu Chunliang put down his teacup and followed Zhang Shunda out to greet them.

Zhang Song parked his car side by side with Xu Chunliang's Porsche Cayenne. When he got out of the car, he took another look at Xu Chunliang's car: "Xiao Xu, your car is quite ostentatious."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Secretary Zhang, the car belongs to my mother. I can't afford it with my salary."

Zhang Song said: "It's good to have rich parents."

Zhang Shunda came over and took the briefcase from him. Zhang Song said: "How many people are here?"

Zhang Shunda glanced at Xu Chunliang, and his meaning was very clear. At present, only Xu Chunliang himself came.

Zhang Song smiled and said: "It seems that everyone is not very active." He invited eight guests tonight. Except for Xu Chunliang, no one else gave him face, including Jiang Qiyong.

Coming to the room, Zhang Song looked at the big table in the middle.

Zhang Shunda said: "Secretary Zhang, how about I tell the kitchen to make the dishes as exquisite as possible." He said it in a rather euphemistic way, but what he meant was that if the people you invited didn't come, there would be no need to serve so many dishes, and it would be a waste.

Zhang Song said: "Just follow the original arrangement."

He sat down at the tea table, took the teacup handed by Zhang Shunda, drank a sip of tea and said: "There are not enough people to play cards."

Zhang Shunda said: "Secretary Zhang wants to play cards, I will find a temporary partner." The welfare home has a lot of talent reserves in this area.

Zhang Song shook his head and said, "No, Xiao Xu, is Jiang Qiyong sure he won't come?"

Xu Chunliang said, "He has other plans tonight."

Zhang Song said to Zhang Shunda, "Have you notified Zhong Mingyan?"

Zhang Shunda said, "She said she was not feeling well."

Zhang Song laughed and said, "Qin Yujiao is her good friend, and her mood must have been affected." He put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at Xu Chunliang and Zhang Shunda, and said, "This is the reality in the system."

Zhang Song is qualified to say this. When he was still a secretary beside Secretary Zhou, all the leading cadres in Dongzhou, big and small, had to give him some face. After Secretary Zhou went to the province, he served as a senior party worker in the high-tech zone and enjoyed a period of being surrounded by people. Seeing the dilemma of no one supporting him, Zhang Song naturally sighed in his heart.

Zhang Song could understand the choices of these people, but he still couldn't avoid disappointment.

Zhang Shunda asked Zhang Song when to start. Zhang Song looked at the time and decided to wait another hour.

Jiang Qiyong did have an arrangement. On the way to the banquet, he received a phone call, which conveyed a very important message to him. The city has decided to appoint Zhang Song as the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Jiang Qiyong was somewhat confused by this sudden news. In the end, Zhang Song took over Wang Tongan's job, which means that Zhang Song is now the director and secretary, and he, the deputy director and deputy secretary, still failed to succeed in taking the position.

What made Jiang Qiyong depressed was that he had not received any news before. Zhang Song's matter was revealed to him by an extremely reliable person. Once the official appointment was announced, his power to preside over the work would end at the same time.

Jiang Qiyong thought that Wang Jianming was very unkind in this matter. He changed his orders every day. Even if he wanted to use Zhang Song, he should at least ask for his opinion. Thinking of the conversation between Xu Chunliang and himself, Jiang Qiyong realized that everything had a sign. Did Xu Chunliang also get the news in advance?

Zhang Song had a purpose for waiting for an extra hour. Tonight, there will be an announcement about him taking over Wang Tongan's position. I invited you to dinner today not as the secretary, but as the new director and secretary of the Civil Affairs Bureau. I am in charge of both the party and the government. Who among these people in the Dongzhou Civil Affairs System is not giving me face? If you have the guts, just stick to it.

Deputy Director Zhong Mingyan came half an hour late. Her reason was traffic jam. Zhang Song didn't mind. It's good that you came. It proves that you know the news.

Zhang Song looked at the second hand that kept turning on the wall and whispered: "The subway coverage area in Dongzhou is still not enough. If I remember correctly, the planned Line 5 will pass through the welfare home, right?"

Zhang Shunda said: "That's true, but Line 5 has been stopped."

Zhang Song said: "I participated in the planning and construction of Dongzhou Metro throughout the process. If it weren't for Secretary Zhou's hard work back then, there would be no Dongzhou Metro today."

Xu Chunliang noticed that Zhang Song's tone of voice had changed significantly. His speech speed began to slow down, and his words revealed a confident sense of superiority. It seems that the future of the Civil Affairs Bureau belongs to him.

In the past, Zhang Song would have looked down on the position of director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, but now it is different. He had been abandoned and thought his future was bleak, but suddenly there was a turnaround. The city decided to use him to replace Wang Tongan. Zhang Song knew very well that it was not Wang Jianming but Secretary Zhou who played a key role.

He also knew that Secretary Zhou's help was not because of the past relationship, but because he might have a backhand and might have value to exploit, so he gave him a chance.

Zhang Song must go all out to perform and re-prove his value.

The invited guests arrived one after another. Geng Qingsong, Yang Wenjing, and Wu Shiqi all got the news. When they saw each other, they all knew that it was better to be late than not to come.

Zhang Song waited for an hour, but Deputy Director Jiang Qiyong still didn't come.

Zhang Song knew that Jiang Qiyong was fearless because of his background, and it was foreseeable that there would be a lot of friction between the two of them from now on, but Zhang Song still did not take Jiang Qiyong seriously. In his opinion, Jiang Qiyong was not qualified to compete with him, was not mature enough, and his political skills were far from enough.

Zhang Song stood up and said, "Everyone, please take your seats."
