The reason why the Su family has not fallen out of the first echelon for so many years after withdrawing from the Yanjing stage that year is that they have absolute control over Shanzhou. Everyone knows that although the Su family has fallen, as long as there is Shanzhou Province, they will always have the opportunity to make a comeback.
After two cups of tea, Cao Qian finally couldn't help but asked softly, "Minister Su, everyone here today is our own, so I'll be more direct. Without the care and support of Old Master Su, we wouldn't have gotten to where we are today. Now that Old Master Su is gone, according to what he revealed to us, our next step is to move towards the central government. What are your plans?"
Su Mo shook his head slowly, frowned, and said nothing.
Cheng Pingchao said: "Old Cao is right. We are very angry right now."
Su Mo knew what these people were thinking. Everyone wants to move forward. Although Shanzhou is a very good stage, it has already reached its end after all. Looking further up, that is the center.
Just as Su Mo was about to speak, the door of the study was pushed open, and Su Qing said with a smile: "I heard that you were all here, so I came over to join in the fun. You won't object to my welcome, will you?"
Everyone present stood up quickly, and Su Mo said seriously: "Sister, they all came to visit you, but you were resting, so they didn't go over to disturb you."
Su Mo has always been like this in front of Su Qing, very respectful. Cao Qian and others have seen him several times and were surprised at first, because Su Mo has always been very high-profile in officialdom and has never shown a respectful attitude even in front of the top leader. But after seeing him several times, they got used to it.
The person Su Mo trusted and admired most in his life was his sister Su Qing.
Su Qing nodded and whispered to Su Mo, "I just found out too. Zhicheng came over to call me."
Su Mo thought to himself that Fang Zhicheng was quite attentive.
Su Qing sat down and Su Mo made a cup of tea for her. Su Qing put it beside him to warm his hands but did not drink it.
Su Mo said softly: "Sister, we are chatting right now. You are standing at a higher angle, why don't you give us some pointers."
Su Qing waved his hand and said, "It's not really about giving advice. Let's discuss it together and see if we can come up with something."
Cheng Pingchao took a deep breath and said, "Director Su, we want to know what to do next. Before the old man passed away, he once told us that if he passed away, we could get one step closer to the center. To be honest, we all have a lot of energy in our hearts."
Su Qing nodded and said, "I understand you. I can also tell you a piece of news. It is expected that at the 18th National Congress, the 'Western Triangle' will be re-focused as a policy. In 2004, this concept was promoted, but after the former No. 2 leader stepped down, economic policies were adjusted and the western development plan was not continued. However, after the next term of office, the Western Triangle will be re-incorporated into national policies, so as a corner of the Western Triangle, Xijing City will become the focus."
The so-called Western Triangle refers to three important cities in the west, namely Chengchuan City in Bashu Province, Yuqing City in the municipality directly under the Central Government, and Xijing City in Shanzhou Province. The economic circles of these three cities form a triangular economic circle, thus competing for the fourth largest economic circle after the Yangtze River Delta Economic Circle, the Pearl River Delta Economic Circle, and the Bohai Rim Economic Circle.
Cheng Pingchao naturally understood what Su Qing meant. During the two sessions last year, the secretary of the Yuqing Municipal Party Committee proposed the concept of building a new western triangle economic circle, which aroused heated discussion and received attention from the central government. However, he was a little confused and asked, "So what you mean is that we don't go to the central government, but continue to stay in Shanzhou?"
Su Qing smiled faintly and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Western Triangle will become an important strategic deployment of the country in the next two to three years, and the time will be ripe by then."
Zhang Shunye, who had been silent all this time, spoke up at this moment: "We understand what it means. If the Western Triangle Economic Zone plan takes shape, it means that the cadres of Shanzhou Province will have a ladder to climb up the ladder. They don't need to go through the central departments and can ascend to the sky in one step."
Su Qing said: "Minister Zhang's understanding is correct."
Once the Western Triangle is proposed, the political status of Shanzhou Province will be enhanced. Among the ministerial-level provinces and cities in the country, the top leaders of the Party committees of the four municipalities, South Guangdong, and North Xinjiang are very likely to hold concurrent posts at the vice-state level. The reason is very simple, that is, their political status is relatively special.
If the Western Triangle Plan is formed, it means that Shanzhou Province may also become a situation where a vice-state-level high-ranking official will hold concurrent posts, which will be a ladder for local officials to climb.
Su Mo noticed that Su Qing glanced at him. He could understand the meaning in his sister's eyes. He was afraid that he didn't need to go to the central government to meet up with Su Qing for the time being, but had to stay in Shanzhou Province.
Afterwards, they talked about some topics. As a policy researcher and maker of the State Council, Su Qing could enlighten everyone with just a few simple words. When interpreting some policies and trends, Su Qing was able to be concise and to the point. With Su Qing's guidance, they had a direction for their work next year.
After sending a few people away, Su Mo sighed and said, "Sister, do you still plan to let me stay in Shanzhou for a while?"
Su Mo understands Su Qing better than anyone else.
Su Qing's eyes were somewhat profound. "According to the old man's meaning, you can go to the central government after he dies, but I think the time is not right yet. The political situation in the central government and the whole country is very complicated now. If you go, you are likely to be affected. I am not hindering your progress, but protecting you."
The Western Triangle Economic Circle is the trend of the future, but Su Qing and the three Shanzhou cadres did not mention the key reason just now. In fact, the reason for not implementing the plan left by the old man is not only because Shanzhou’s political status will be improved, but also because the current wind direction in Yanjing is too bad.
Su Qing said: "Every transfer of power is accompanied by a storm. And from what I understand, this time the storm will be huge, and anyone at the center may be implicated."
Su Mo quickly said: "If I go, I can help you share some of the pressure!"
Su Qing waved his hand, smiled confidently, pressed Su Mo's shoulder, and said, "I'm ready. If you go over, it will distract me."
Su Mo sighed. Su Qing was the parent now, and he had to accept her orders.
Su Mo asked: "Who has more hope?"
Su Qing shook his head and said, "No one knows the outcome. Although our swords are sharp enough, it is not time to unsheathe them yet. As for who is more likely to win the championship, we don't need to pay too much attention. First of all, we need to accurately predict which positions can be reserved for us in the future."
Su Mo sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "Commander Liao, he..."
There was a hint of complicated emotions in Su Qing's eyes. She knew what Su Mo wanted to ask her.
Su Qing shook his head, and Su Mo smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, I said too much."
Su Qing said: "Although he and I grew up together, after all, so many years have passed and our feelings have faded."
Su Mo understood what Su Qing meant. If nothing unexpected happened, Chief Liao would also be the most popular candidate for the throne in the future. When Chief Liao was young, he pursued Su Qing, but was rejected by Su Qing. There are some complicated love stories between men and women. If the Su family and the Liao family are linked together, with Chief Liao's strong bid for the throne in the next term, the speed of the Su family's rise will be greatly accelerated.
However, Su Mo knew that Su Qing did not want to recall the past. Although Zhicheng's return to the Su family had changed Su Qing, some thorns pierced into the flesh and became thorns if not removed for a long time. Once touched, it would be painful.
Chapter 0789: Smoke of Gunfire Smoke ...
We had a reunion dinner in the evening. The atmosphere at the table was quite good. The main reason was that Lv Wen not only did not dare to say much in front of Su Qing, but also tried to please Su Qing in various ways. The way to please her was naturally to praise how excellent Fang Zhicheng and Ning Qiangwei were as a couple. Su Qing had a sharp gaze. She knew how Lv Wen was. She privately told Fang Zhicheng not to argue too much with his aunt for the sake of his second uncle, and asked her to persuade Ning Qiangwei not to have any thoughts because of Lv Wen.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I'm a little jealous now. You consider everything for Qiangwei."
Su Qing smiled faintly and said, "Isn't it for your future marriage that I care about your daughter-in-law? It is said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are difficult to get along with, and the son is the most helpless to be caught in the middle. If I have a good relationship with her, won't you feel better?"
