Bao Feiyang had just said a few words to Yu Chenfeng when the phone on the table rang again. Bao Feiyang picked up the microphone and heard Yang Chengdong say on the phone: "Feiyang, is there anything wrong tonight? Let's have dinner together?"

Bao Feiyang was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "County magistrate, Secretary Cao just called me and invited me to go to his house for dinner tonight. I have agreed."

Yang Chengdong was silent for a moment, and then said, "Since that's the case, then let's have a good conversation with Secretary Cao next time."

Bao Feiyang nodded: "Well, I know."

Although the two of them didn't say anything, Yang Chengdong knew why Cao Xun invited Bao Feiyang to dinner. He asked Bao Feiyang to dinner to talk to him about corporate reform. Yang Chengdong thought that the best result tomorrow would be to strive for one or two units to conduct a pilot. As the county magistrate in charge of economic work, and the domestic reform of separation of government and enterprises and separation of government and capital has many policy and theoretical statements. As long as his attitude is firm, it is still possible to achieve it. However, it is basically impossible to make formal decisions on the Standing Committee and fully roll them out.

Yang Chengdong wanted to talk to Bao Feiyang so that he could prepare for tomorrow's situation. Now Cao Xun wants to communicate with Bao Feiyang in advance, and he is also happy to see it. He hopes that Cao Xun's attitude can alert Bao Feiyang himself, which is much better than the effect of persuading himself.

Yang Chengdong said: "Then let it be, let me see if Secretary Zhao is free tonight."

Secretary Zhao, whom Yang Chengdong mentioned, is a member of the county party committee standing committee and secretary of the discipline inspection committee. Zhao Libo was originally the director of the supervision office of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. He is a famous iron bread man in the city. After he came to Wanghai, he did not move closer to all parties. It seems that Yang Chengdong wanted to fight for it at this critical moment.

However, Yang Chengdong called, but Zhao Libo refused: "County Magistrate Yang, I'm sorry, I have something to do tonight, will I next time?"

Yang Chengdong was slightly stunned. Although he knew that his contact with Zhao Libo might not be smooth, he did not expect that Zhao Libo would reject him so directly.

He had no choice but to laugh and said, "Okay. Let's talk about it next time."

The phone hung up. Yang Chengdong's face couldn't help but look a little ugly. He picked up the phone again and called another member of the Standing Committee and the county armed forces minister Cao Kun: "Hello Minister Cao. Hello. I am Yang Chengdong from the county government!"

Cao Kun is a native of Wanghai. He is a veteran and still retains the style of a soldier. He generally does not participate much in the county's political and economic affairs. Even if he does not have much interaction with local officials, Cao Xun, Jiao Mengde and others, he maintains a strong sense of integrity.

However, after Mr. Fu came to Wanghai, Cao Kun was very friendly to Bao Feiyang. As a revolutionary hero who fought in Wanghai County, Fu was considered half of the man in Wanghai, and even a hero in the minds of the man in Wanghai. Bao Feiyang could let Mr. Fu come to Wanghai County to take a look, and Cao Kun and others naturally had a good impression.

What's more, Bao Feiyang brought a large amount of income to the county in the first half of the year, and the county armed forces department also gained a lot of benefits, and the tight financial situation has been alleviated to a certain extent. Based on these considerations, Yang Chengdong felt that Cao Kun might also vote for Bao Feiyang's reform plan at the Standing Committee.

Yang Chengdong called Cao Kun, and the other side was silent for a moment, then Cao Kun said, "County Magistrate Yang, I attended the meeting in the Military Sub-district. I appreciate your kindness."

Yang Chengdong felt a sudden heart and then asked, "Oh, Minister Cao is not in Wanghai. Will you attend the Standing Committee meeting tomorrow afternoon?"

Cao Kun said, "I'm afraid I can't catch up."

Yang Chengdong couldn't help but frown slightly. Cao Kun's inability to attend the Standing Committee means that his plan to win a vote of support went bankrupt again. He didn't know if Cao Kun could not come back tomorrow to attend the Standing Committee, or did he not want to get back to this muddy water? Although Cao Kun might be really in another place, with today's situation, someone would probably call Cao Kun. Cao Kun should also know the situation in the county. If he doesn't come back, there is no special explanation. Perhaps it has already shown that he does not intend to make a statement on this matter.

Yang Chengdong was very disappointed.

In the office of the county party secretary Xu Ping, Gou Liangxue walked in with a smile: "The secretary hasn't gotten off work yet?"

Xu Ping smiled and looked at Gou Liangxue: "Director Gou, you haven't left yet?"

Gou Liangxue smiled and said, "I am the director who serves the leader. Leader, you have not gotten off work yet, so of course I will accompany you."

"You, you, what you said is wrong. You are also a member of the county party committee standing committee and the leader of the county party committee. You can't regard yourself as a chore." Xu Ping looked in a good mood, and these words also made Gou Liangxue feel excited.

"Even if I am a member of the county party committee, in front of you, I am just a messenger." Gou Liangxue quickly expressed his loyalty, and then said: "Leader, Zheng Guoqing and others from the Planning Commission will treat me to dinner tonight. Do you have time to contact grassroots cadres?"

"Is that so, I'll go and have a look?" Xu Ping looked up at Gou Liangxue, and the two couldn't help but smile. Of course, it was not for no reason for Gou Liangxue to have dinner with Zheng Guoqing and others. It was possible that Gou Liangxue wanted to win over people in order to help Xu Ping win over people, or that Zheng Guoqing and others were interested in moving closer to Xu Ping. In short, this meal tonight would be very likely to add a few confidants to him. This is undoubtedly a good thing for Xu Ping, who just came to Wanghai and had the power of the county party committee, but did not have his own strength at the grassroots level.

Xu Ping felt that he should be grateful to Bao Feiyang. If he hadn't come up with this enterprise reform plan and let the grassroots cadres in Wanghai County feel threatened, he would have to wait for a while to gather these people. Now that Bao Feiyang suddenly made such a move, it undoubtedly provided him with a great opportunity.

"Hehe, Secretary Xu will definitely feel honored if Director Zheng and others can go." Gou Liangxue said with a smile, and took two steps forward, leaning forward, as if he was going to say something to Xu Ping, and whispered: "Secretary Xu, I heard that Liu Qicheng and others from the Foreign Trade Bureau all went to Secretary Cao's office in the afternoon..."

Xu Ping glanced at Gou Liangxue and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Didn't you contact Secretary Cao?"

Gou Liangxue laughed twice and shook his head: "There were some misunderstandings between Secretary Cao and I in the past. I was afraid that Secretary Cao would misunderstand again, so I..."

Xu Ping nodded with satisfaction. Gou Liangxue's words showed that he would not be in the right way, and Xu Ping knew the news he revealed. However, Gou Liangxue made Cao Xun's attitude. Bao Feiyang made the officialdom in Wanghai County panic. In order to seek self-protection, they would inevitably seek support from the superiors. At present, the only ones among the county party committees who can compete with Bao Feiyang or even hinder the implementation of Bao Feiyang's plan are probably Xu Ping and Deputy Secretary Cao Xun. In other words, Xu Ping and Cao Xun are in a state of competition in fighting for these grassroots officials.

However, they have the same position in preventing Bao Feiyang's corporate reform plan. To win the support of these officials, they must oppose Bao Feiyang's corporate reform plan.

Xu Ping thought about it, picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Lizhong, haven't you gotten off work yet?"

Gou Liangxue's eyes were drooping, as if he hadn't heard anything. Of course, Xu Ping's voice was still clearly heard into his ears. Lizhong in Xu Ping's mouth was naturally Wang Lizhong, member of the county party committee and Minister of Organization.

Wang Lizhong said: "Yes, what are the arrangements the secretary has?"

Xu Ping smiled and said, "There is nothing, it's the issue to be discussed at the Standing Committee tomorrow. I wonder if you have reported it to Secretary Cao?"

Wang Lizhong pondered for a moment and knew what Xu Ping said. The regular standing committee meeting tomorrow afternoon was mainly about the preparations for the Lingang Development Zone and several other unimportant things. Today, two things proposed by Bao Feiyang were added, namely the ban on alcohol and the reform of county-affiliated enterprises, and the huge response caused by the reform of county-affiliated enterprises. Wang Lizhong was also very clear that although he was not a native of Wanghai County, he worked in Wanghai County for a longer time than Yang Chengdong, and he had his own source of information. He immediately thought that Xu Ping wanted to test Cao Xun's attitude.

As the county party secretary, Xu Ping could express kindness to Cao Xun at the appropriate time, but if Xu Ping took the initiative to test Cao Xun, it would be a bit of a loss.

Wang Lizhong immediately said, "I understand. I was negligent before, so I will contact Secretary Cao immediately."

Xu Ping hung up the phone, then stood up and said to Gou Liangxue: "Now we can leave."

Gou Liangxue smiled and nodded: "Yes, Secretary Xu, please."

After receiving a call from Wang Lizhong, Cao Xun thought about it and asked him to come to the office tomorrow morning to discuss, and then walked out of the office with Xu Jipeng.

In the evening, different banquets were held in different places, while Cao Xun was relatively low-key. In addition to Bao Feiyang, he only invited Ji Chunyan, the United Front Work Minister, who was also a member of the county party committee standing committee, and Zhou Zhixiang, vice chairman of the CPPCC.

Ji Chunyan used to work in the publicity system and used to be the broadcasting station of the county radio station. She served as the deputy director of the county propaganda department. Although she is almost forty years old, she is well maintained, has a beautiful and dignified appearance, and always has a warm smile on her face, making people feel like spring breeze.

As Xu Jipeng said, Ji Chunyan is indeed more suitable for participating in such occasions than him.

"County Magistrate Bao, Secretary Cao, and Chairman Zhou are both natives from Wanghai. The changes you brought to Wanghai are obvious to all. Today we will represent Wanghai to greet you with a glass." Ji Chunyan smiled and picked up the wine glass. Bao Feiyang had to hold up the wine glass, touched Ji Chunyan slightly, and then drank it all in one go.
