On the afternoon of the third day, Bai Yu signaled to stop the car when he was about three streets away from the sanatorium of the Provincial Military General, and then called Yu Chenjie:

"I heard that the leader is recuperating in the Military General Sanatorium. Should I wait for Yu Shuji to go together, or should I call the front station first?"

Yu Chenjie pondered for a moment and said, "Then... I'll ask Mayor Bai to represent you. I've been holding meetings in the provincial government compound these two days. I really can't make any time to visit you if I have time in the future."

Bai Yu was in a slight heart, guessing that Yu Chenjie had turned from being swayed when he first landed, and decided to follow Wu Jiaen and follow the middle route, trying to avoid direct contact with the traditional family in Xuncheng.

In fact, Bai Yu and Wu Xiaotai called the next night to ask whether he would go or not. In fact, it was also a test of the importance of Lingnan Dujia in this matter. If Wu Xiaotai said, "It's okay to go over and chat when you have time", it means that the Dujia is relatively indifferent to whether the city's main leaders come to visit, so there is no need to go for the time being.

Wu Xiaotai smiled and said, "Brother, try to take the time. After all, I have had tea with Duyechun and worked with Zhou Mu before. It would be bad if I was too disagreeable. What do you think?"

When talking about Zhou Mu, Bai Yu couldn't help feeling guilty and a little frustrated. To be honest, if there were 100 options, Zhou Mu would only be ranked 100th. How could he be? How could he sleep with a woman with such a hot temper and such a strong vanity?

It’s absolutely necessary to sleep, let alone who suffers a loss - Bai Yu feels that he has suffered a loss, but Chinese traditional culture is unfair. She was obviously as wild as a horse and shouted at her husband that night, but she was “occupied”, so where can she reason?

Bai Yu then said: "Okay, follow Xiaotai's arrangements, I will start to make arrangements tomorrow... Well, do you want Chen Jie to join me?"

Wu Xiaotai seemed to hesitate for a while and said, "Please go back, it's up to him to go or not. Anyway, I hope to make things happen from a kind perspective."

As soon as this statement was spoken, Bai Yu thought that the possibility of Yu Chenjie leaving was very small. Maybe Wu Xiaotai had "kindly reminded" before, and Yu Chenjie still insisted on his own ideas.

Yu Chenjie may feel that Kyoto will go further and further in the future on the road to diluting the factional color. Wu Jiaen's sudden emergence, Miao Wenjun's reused and Yao Jialing's turnaround are all proof of this. Yu Xiaoyu, who is about to replace Qiao Gan, is also from the Huanghai clan but denies himself the Huanghai clan.

Yu Chenjie probably thought that it would be meaningless to be in the territory of Lingnan Dujia. It would be criticized for taking the initiative to cling to the Dujia, which would damage his image as a "tough guy in the main body". It would be better to keep a distance and not leave any hidden dangers in Xuncheng.

Perhaps Yu Chenjie had other ideas, or perhaps he was advised by the Kyoto boss - Wu Jiaen had never been to the Dujia Courtyard when he was the mayor of Xuncheng, and it was even more impossible to be promoted to the governor. It was not convenient for Dujia to insist on such a style. When Bai Yu secretly arranged to meet Fan Xiaoling, Yu Chenjie obviously had similar activities, and later he was deeply thinking, just as Bai Yu thought countlessly about the unfathomable words from "The Strategies of the Warring States".

It's okay, as Wu Xiaotai said, if you don't go, I will go.

Bai Yu asked Mei Fangrong to contact Du Jianyin's office to express his intention to visit. At the provincial and ministerial level, public is private, private, and public, and his whereabouts and arrangements must be made public and take official channels. For example, this time Bai Yu represents the municipal party committee and municipal government.

The office expressed gratitude to Bai Yu for visiting him, saying that the leader attended the remote video conference in the morning, and if Mayor Bai had time, he could put it between 3:00 and 4:00 in the afternoon.

——You said that I would be free and embarrassed when I came, as if I was waiting for the guests to come. I had sincerity and had to follow my time.

"Okay, visit on time at 3:00 pm."

Bai Yu said readily that he never cares too much about this. Regardless of the Lingnan Dujia signboard, as a member of the Du Jianyin's job bureau, it is also necessary to be humble.

At noon, while having a working meal in the district official cafeteria, Mei Fangrong hesitated for a long time and whispered:

"According to the custom, I won't go to the head, Mayor Bai."

"What routine?" Bai Yu felt something was in his words.

"My lover... works in the sanatorium." Mei Fangrong said.

"Isn't it a good thing to visit relatives?"

Bai Yu smiled, but he also knew that the "convention" she said was the truth, as if Du Jianyin's every move in recuperation was under the surveillance of the city's official government. Her lover is the deputy director of the sanatorium and director of the internal medicine department. At his level, it is absolutely impossible to reveal any of Du Jianyin's condition.

It is also the minimum medical ethics.

"Start in the afternoon, you can start the second development and investigation of the dangerous building land," Bai Yu said, "I will ask Junhu to accompany him to the grassroots level tomorrow. It is said that he complained that he is a resentful woman in the harem."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Mei Fangrong almost choked with a smile, and said, "Hurry up and change him, I can't compete for favor with him."

Because time was so tight, Yan Yueze sat next to Bai Yu while eating and briefly reported the information collected by all parties in the morning. Hearing that Lou Yao led the port reform was not going well, he was almost beaten by middle-level cadres at the symposium last night. In addition, all parties engaged in fierce competition about introducing foreign funds to invest. Everyone wanted to become the second largest shareholder except state-owned assets, but who didn't want to spend more money, and intangible assets, brand investment, etc. were used.

After all, Lou Yao was a newcomer and was not familiar with the Lingnan region and Hong Kong and Macao consortiums. He was unsure and wanted to invite the Southeast coastal capital to come and help, which caused public anger and was scolded to the point of being cursed.

"The two sides have a running-in process, and this kind of thing cannot be impatient," Bai Yu pondered, "Mayor Mei coordinates with you to ask Mayor Hua to go to the town of Gangkou Town if necessary..."

Mei Fangrong said: "Tell the truth, Mayor Bai, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The port is still above the top and only recognizes the city party committee's plan. In the past, no one paid attention to Mayor Xiao when he went to the port."

Bai Yu stopped chopsticks and said solemnly: "I know this is the truth. As a sub-port of the Tengkou Port, I am on the front line of the restructuring work. But the timing and background of the restructuring of the Xuncheng Port are different. Now is not the time to wait for a price. The port must adapt to the new situation and new development opportunities from top to bottom. The only thing that still holds the old ideas is kicked out of the game, and there is no choice! Xuncheng Port is currently in charge of the mayor of the real estate, and neither Yu Shuji nor I will go over and point fingers. Mayor Chen is just warming up the scene as an old friend. If there is no choice, there is no way to do that if there is no one there."

"you……"

Mei Fangrong's eyes turned, "It seems to be hostile to Xunchenggang?"

Such words are usually not easily said by both department-level leaders, but Mei Fangrong has the ability to say them and is very good at speaking very heavy words in a relaxed and casual tone.

Bai Yu said: "I am not hostile to any comrade anywhere, but in recent years, the ports in Jinan have become accustomed to being superior and cannot bear the slightest grievance. If you are a little unhappy, you will be burdened. I feel that my bad temper needs to be changed."

"Xuncheng is mainly an outward-oriented economy and relies heavily on port prosperity. The port load capacity and throughput have a significant stimulation on the urban economic multiplier. The reform must be changed to make all parties in the port convinced. The ultimate goal is to be calm and safe."

Mei Fangrong did not explain according to his words, but instead put forward her own views tactfully and gently.

Bai Yu looked at Mei Fangrong unexpectedly. She did not retreat, and looked at him softly and firmly - she was similar and different from Yin Dongmei. Whenever the two of them were in stalemate, they would playfully jump to other topics and attack again after a while; Mei Fangrong was as calm as a lake.

"I partially agree with your point of view, so it does not hinder the normal development of port restructuring work at present," Bai Yu rarely gave in, saying, "The second development research work should be kept as confidential as possible. I will review the first draft of the plan first, and I will not rush to submit it to the mayor's office."

Mei Fangrong nodded deeply: "I understand."

At present, the age of the city's official government is polarized. Bai Yu, Mei Fangrong, Yun Geyin is less than forty years, and Lou Yao is only forty-one. He is very young at the level of the deputy provincial department; Chen Lihua, Jiang Yuejin, Huo Zhong, Xing Chengshun, Yu Heping and other deputy mayors are all around fifty years old. Except for Chen Lihua who served for more than one term, other deputy mayors basically work in the rhythm of retreating to the second line. To be honest, under such circumstances, mentality and motivation are different.

If you can sit firmly in the office, you will never go to the grassroots and docks; if you can do things or not, you tend not to do things; if you can or not, you will most likely not go to projects.

Yun Geyin is in charge of the field with a relatively marginal condition and is in poor health, so Bai Yu can command and make the only ones who are strong enough to take action, each carrying out a top priority.

Before getting on the bus after the meal, Bai Yu suddenly called Mei Fangrong and whispered: "Pick some economics at the deputy department level, have strong business qualities, and are decisive and clean in handling things."

Mei Fangrong was shocked and stunned for a while before responding: "Okay!"

Zhong Liliang drove with Yan Yueze, and Bai Yu drove lightly to the sanatorium of the Provincial Military Senior Cadres in the heart of Jiangcun District, which was quiet in the midst of the hustle and quiet, a leisure villa located in the depths of the small hills of the city. The car was deep in a courtyard with no signs and there was obviously a guard post inside. Yan Yueze called and the electric door slowly opened and put the car in.

The courtyard is extremely open, with endless lawns and unique pavilions, flocks of pigeons and many unknown and beautiful birds flying around, and ancient banyan trees covering the sky and sun, deep roots and lush leaves everywhere, all of which are hundreds or thousands of years old.

The accompanying secretary introduced that the sanatorium was also the academy of the Xuncheng family. It was requisitioned by warlords as a private garden in the 1930s. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was slightly transformed into a sanatorium for veteran cadres.

——Du Jianyin's illness is very strange. Every time he stays in Kyoto for more than ten days, he will have a split headache, nosebleed, red eyes, and uncomfortable all over his body. In Huixun City, the symptoms of Kyoto quickly disappeared, but the cervical spine, waist and other family diseases emerged again. So throughout the year, except for the indispensable important Kyoto conference, Du Jianyin usually lives in this nursing home, and only returns to Du’s courtyard for two or three days during the Spring Festival, and then leaves.

——Some often say that if it weren’t for bad health, Du Jianyin would not be the most fringing idle position as a member of the bureau, and he would definitely be a major province on the southeast coast. Some people say that Du Jianyin’s illness is actually about retreating as he advances, because Du family does not need real power at all, but cares about "momentum". With momentum, he can ensure that the Lingnan Du family stands firm.
