The pursuit of a position in officialdom

"Since Xiao Li from your government has made a promise, let him participate as well." If Li Wujiang knew that the provincial party secretary personally named him, he would probably be flattered.

"I think this kind of thing is also suitable for this kid." Chen Yimin said.

Li Wujiang went to the hotel to tell the two old people that the provincial party committee had set up a special investigation team and introduced the leader of the investigation team to the two old people. The leader of this investigation team is Shen Zhengyuan, an old acquaintance of Li Wujiang. The two people are very happy to cooperate again.

Li Wujiang told the two old people that the government has arranged a vehicle to escort them back. This time the investigation team will also follow them to Jingtian County to understand what happened. The two old people are also honest people. Thinking that the government people will definitely help them when they go to investigate, they are grateful to Li Wujiang.

Li Wujiang feels that the most honest people are the people of our country. As long as they meet a little bit of their needs, they will be grateful.

Chapter 28 Seeing the suffering of the world and discussing long-term development

This is the first time that so many leaders have come to Daotian Village, Xiping Township, Jingtian County.

The investigation team was originally not allowed to be accompanied by city and county leaders, but the city and county leaders all knew that the provincial party committee investigation team came with questions to investigate, and it was related to their personal official hats, so who would not be cautious.

Xiping Township had already arranged a place for the investigation team to discuss and stay. The city and county leaders held a special welcome party to welcome the investigation team to come and guide the work.

Xiping Township also arranged the people for the discussion in advance. When Shen Zhengyuan and Li Wujiang were discussing with the investigation team, they all said yes to everything, the government was good, the leaders were good, and there was no problem with everything.

"Wujiang, I think if we continue to ask like this, we can only get a good result. It is impossible to understand the real situation at the grassroots level." Shen Zhengyuan said.

"Yes, Brother Zhengyuan" The two looked at each other happily in a place where there was no one. Li Wujiang still called him brother, and only called Shen the team leader in a place where there were many people. "On the way here, we clearly felt that the people's lives were very hard. Many people still had no electricity and still used kerosene lamps. Many farmers' houses were still very dilapidated. Fortunately, the problem of having enough food was solved, but in years of disasters, they would be hungry and full. If there were no problems like this, it would be really strange."

"Yes, the purpose of our visit this time is to see the suffering of the people and understand the problems encountered in the implementation of national policies at the grassroots level and the reasons. Only in this way can we propose solutions and make the national policies take root." Shen Zhengyuan looked up and said in the distance. Shen Zhengyuan is an ambitious person and a person who knows the suffering of the people. To put it bluntly, he is not an official for the sake of being an official, but really wants to help the people do something practical.

"Our country still has a long way to go. I hope that our generation can catch up and lead the country to development and the people to prosperity." Li Wujiang also said emotionally.

"Wujiang, we have been here for two days to investigate. It is definitely not possible to follow the current path. Do you have any good solutions?" Shen Zhengyuan asked.

"Brother Zhengyuan, I do have a way, that is to visit households. It is probably not possible during the day, and the city and county cadres will follow. At night, we can use our free time to visit the people's homes to understand the situation." Li Wujiang said.

"This is a way. You organize it at night, and we will go to the people's homes to understand the situation." Shen Zhengyuan said.

In the evening, Shen Zhengyuan and his party came to the homes of the two old people, and the two old people told the whole story. It turned out that the one who died was his daughter. She married the Wang family in the neighboring village. She had given birth to three daughters before. The mother-in-law's family always wanted to give birth to a son, so the daughter was always pregnant. In order to give birth to a child, there was a problem. They felt that their daughter was wronged, and they suffered so much for giving birth to a child.

After listening to the two old people, Li Wujiang was also full of emotion. Maybe this is the price that needs to be paid for the development of an era.

The two old people took Shen Zhengyuan and others to visit other people's homes.

"Leader, it's not that our family doesn't respond to the relevant national policies, but we have two girls. If we don't give birth to a boy, how will we support ourselves in the future?"

"You are cadres, right? Having children is our own family's business. No matter what happens to other people, we can have one more child as long as we are willing to support it."

"Leader, we don't want to have children either, but my wife is always pregnant and there are no contraceptive measures."

"Comrade, we can not have children, but you have to give us some subsidies so that we can provide for our old age."

"Wujiang, what do you think of visiting so many people?" Shen Zhengyuan asked.

"Our people are simple, just want to live their lives simply. But our country also has its own difficulties. The country's goal is to reduce the burden on the people and the country. However, there are still several problems in the overall implementation process. The policy has not been fully publicized, and the people do not understand the purpose of the country's policy implementation; the staff's working methods are single, and they lack patience to explain to the people and cannot think about what the people think. For some violations of the policy, we must not simply deal with them; contraceptive measures are not up to date, and we just want the people to have fewer children, but we can't stop them from having sex. We must provide effective contraceptive measures for the people to choose; and the current education level of our people is relatively low, and they don't understand some of our policies and regulations; the most important thing is that the people have concerns. They are afraid that they will have no protection when they are old. Many families want to have boys, and the purpose is to raise children to prevent old age. If the country can solve the worries of the people about the elderly, maybe the people will naturally stop having children." Facing the suffering of the people, Li Wujiang also felt emotional. There are many problems. This is a problem of the development of the times and an inevitable problem in development. We must solve them in development and develop in solving them. We can't stop eating because of choking. We can't stop developing because there are problems. The purpose of development is to solve problems better.

Shen Zhengyuan felt that Li Wujiang was a very clear person and saw everything clearly. "Wujiang, you still see the essence of the problem. This time I asked you to come down to investigate, and you found the right person."

"Brother Zhengyuan, the problem is there. No matter who comes, they will see it clearly. The problem is not difficult to find. The key is how to solve it. Only by resolving these contradictions can the relationship between cadres and the masses be more harmonious, and the people can be more supportive of our work. Only then can we really achieve the feelings for the people, the power for the people, and the benefits for the people."

"Wujiang, you said the "three for the people" very well. You still have something in your mind. You must write it in the investigation report in the end," Shen Zhengyuan praised.

When the leaders of Jingtian County knew that Shen Zhengyuan and others had entered the households on their own, there was nothing they could do. According to the procedure, Shen Zhengyuan and others visited other towns and villages in Jingtian County to understand. Through the visit, Li Wujiang and others learned about many grassroots situations.

The investigation work in Jingtian County was carried out smoothly. Finally, Li Wujiang said goodbye to the two old men, and assured them that he would report to the provincial party committee truthfully.

"Wujiang, there are still many problems, and we still have a lot of work to do."

"Yes, Brother Zhengyuan, there are still many problems in social development that need to be solved, and the road of national development requires us to do our best."

"We must do a good job of research now to provide a basis for the decision-making of the provincial party committee and provincial government leaders."

"Brother Zhengyuan, you are right. In the next step, we must change our thinking and change the open investigation to a secret investigation, so that we can better find problems."

Chapter 29 Investigation process, encountering conflicts

According to the opinions of the provincial party committee, the investigation team must not only go to Jingtian County to understand the situation, but also go deep into various prefecture-level cities to investigate and grasp the implementation of policies in various places.

"Wujiang, our next stop is your hometown, Nandu City, you can take time to go home to visit," Shen Zhengyuan said.

"Brother Zhengyuan, I just went home some time ago. This time our task is tight, I won't delay everyone's time, thank you very much," Li Wujiang said gratefully.

"That's fine. For the rest of our investigation, I plan to visit the people's homes without saying hello, so that we can get the real situation."

"I agree with it with both hands," Li Wujiang said. Other comrades in the investigation team also agreed.

When Li Wujiang and his team drove to Wangjiazhuang Village in Nandu City, they saw a group of people carrying a pregnant woman out of a farmer's house. The people around them went up to stop them, but were driven away by people in police uniforms.

Seeing this situation, Shen Zhengyuan and Li Wujiang were very angry. They were investigating and encountered such a thing. If they didn't stop it in time, would there be another tragic incident involving pregnant women?

Shen Zhengyuan stopped the car on the side and ran over first, and Li Wujiang hurried to catch up. Shen Zhengyuan went up to persuade and stop them. Li Wujiang went to the side to ask the people about the situation. It turned out that a pregnant woman in the village violated the policy and had to pay a fine for having too many children. Her family had no money to pay, so she quarreled with the township and village cadres. The cadres said that the pregnant woman was obstructing public affairs and asked the police from the police station to arrest her and induce her to have an abortion.

Just after understanding the situation, someone cried out. Li Wujiang turned his head and saw that it was Shen Zhengyuan who was hit by a club, and blood was flowing directly from his head. Li Wujiang hurried over and helped Shen Zhengyuan to one side.

Seeing that the emotions of the people around were getting more and more heated, the conflict was about to break out. Li Wujiang handed Shen Zhengyuan to his comrade, picked up a broken bowl from the ground, stood on the stone mill next to him, and threw the bowl to the ground with a "bang", and shouted loudly, and then the whole audience was quiet.

"Everyone, look at what has happened. If someone dies, who will be held responsible? Look at how miserable this pregnant woman is. This is a matter of two lives. If something goes wrong, not only will you lose your job as an official, but you will also be held legally responsible. Can't you talk about it properly?" Li Wujiang said at the top of his voice.

Li Wujiang's words stunned the township officials, but most of the village officials were uneducated and didn't buy his tricks. They shouted that you are here to cause trouble, and if you don't leave, I will arrest you too.

Li Wujiang said loudly, "The sky is clear and the sky is clear. I have not broken the law, but you still dare to arrest people randomly. The state has national laws, and families have family rules. Violations of the law must be dealt with according to the law, not whoever wants to do whatever they want. You are ordinary people." An official should benefit one party and benefit the people during his term of office, rather than do whatever he wants."

Seeing that the village cadres were still unconvinced, they started to make trouble again. Li Wujiang asked loudly who was taking the lead here. No one answered him. However, Li Wujiang saw that the township cadres and village cadres were all looking at a middle-aged man wearing glasses. Li Wujiang guessed that this man was the cadre leading the team today.

Jump off the stone mill, run to the man with glasses, and ask him to step aside to talk. The man wearing glasses did not understand what Li Wujiang meant and ignored him. Seeing that the village cadres were coming to arrest Li Wujiang, Li Wujiang whispered something in the ear of the man wearing glasses.

The man wearing glasses was stunned for a moment, then saw that the car parked in the distance had a provincial license plate, and quickly asked the township and village cadres to stop. He and Li Wujiang walked aside.

Li Wujiang briefly introduced himself and asked the township and village cadres to stop immediately and arrange for the family members of the pregnant woman to be sent to the hospital for examination and treatment. He also asked Shen Zhengyuan to be sent to the health center for bandaging.

The man wearing glasses was a little hesitant and suspicious, so Li Wujiang quietly took out his work permit. The other party was completely convinced and quickly arranged these two things.

Li Wujiang had some considerations in not announcing the identities of the members of the provincial party committee's investigation team in front of the masses. On the one hand, he was afraid that the masses would not trust the officials and believed that officials would protect each other, which would lead to greater riots. Then their provincial party committee was investigating The team is in trouble; on the other hand, Shen Zhengyuan was injured. If there is news about officials beating officials, the impact will be even worse.

After Li Wujiang arranged for Shen Zhengyuan to be bandaged at the local health center, he went directly to the hospital in Nandu City to get water to relieve inflammation. According to Shen Zhengyuan, it was just a scratch on the skin, but Li Wujiang said it would be better to inject some liquid to reduce inflammation.

The reason why Li Wujiang did not stay there was because he was afraid that the masses would know their identities and come to them in droves to report problems. They were an investigation team, not a problem-solving team. If the matter was too big, it was not what they wanted to see. .

As soon as Shen Zhengyuan moved in, the party secretary and mayor of Nandu City rushed over to change the high-end ward. Although Shen Zhengyuan's rank is not high, they represent the provincial party committee and are the imperial envoys. When such a big thing happens in Nandu City, they have to make a decision. Maybe there will be an earthquake in the officialdom of Nandu City.

Shen Zhengyuan expressed his gratitude to the leaders for visiting him and said that it was nothing serious and that he would be fine just by giving him some fluids. He did not want to cause any trouble to the leaders. At the same time, the relevant situation in Wangjiazhuang Village was reported to the leaders of the Nandu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, hoping that they would properly handle the problem, appease the people, and avoid causing further conflicts.

Leaders of the Nandu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government expressed condolences for Shen Zhengyuan's injury. They also said that those who violated the law will be dealt with seriously, strengthen ideological education, improve the quality of the team, effectively establish the concept of serving the people, and smooth channels to resolve conflicts among the masses.

In fact, Li Wujiang knew that this was not meant for their investigation team, but for the provincial party committee, and he wanted to convey it to the provincial party committee through their mouth. Such a big thing happened, especially the attack on provincial party committee cadres. This was a big problem and it was impossible not to report it, but they hoped that Shen Zhengyuan would say more good things for them when he reported it.

Shen Zhengyuan said that he would report to the Provincial Party Committee realistically and hoped that Nandu City could do a good job for the masses and find good ways to solve problems and resolve conflicts.

"Some cadres cannot consider the masses, enforce the law excessively, and arouse public anger. This must be investigated seriously and dealt with in accordance with the law." Lu Donghui slammed the table angrily.

"It seems necessary for us to carry out activities to rectify the work style of cadres across the province, improve the quality of cadres through re-education and further study, and firmly establish the concept of serving the people." Mu Liancheng said.

"That's good. Your organization department should take the lead in this. At the same time, you should consider resolutely removing unsuitable cadres. You can't let a rat ruin the pot of soup and hinder the economic development of the province." Lu Donghui said.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements immediately to assess the cadres at all levels, and whether Shen Zhengyuan and his investigation team will come back or continue the investigation." Mu Liancheng said.

"Their investigation team is quite good and can stop the tragedy in time. If the injury is okay, let them continue running and go to various places to learn about it, but they must pay attention to the methods." Lu Donghui said.

Chapter 30 Ten stores celebrate together, Li Na falls in love

Shen Zhengyuan took his investigation team to various regions for investigation. This trip lasted half a month. By the time Li Wujiang came back, the Bianzhou Changting flagship store had been renovated. It was very grand and high-end at the time, and had a service area, rest area, VIP area, and maintenance area, providing one-stop service. At the same time, all Changting stores in various cities across the province have been renovated. Waiting for Li Wujiang's order, all stores across the province will open on the same day.

Li Na also organized personnel recruitment as required. After multiple rounds of screening, she selected Human Resources Manager Qiao Meiheng, Li Wujiang's senior sister, who was also recommended by her teacher; Purchasing Department Manager Wang Zhengnan, recommended by Xia Ruohan; Sales Manager Zhang Chuang; Technology Quality Department Manager Du Xinyuan was hired from a state-owned enterprise and is a technical figure. Li Na hoped that Li Wujiang would check again, and Li Wujiang expressed that he believed in their vision. I hope they make good use of their current team and move forward bravely.

In order to cheer for Changting Company, Li Wujiang suggested inviting the famous singer Mao Mao to sing and conduct intensive publicity in major media in Huayuan, which was hailed as a top masterpiece in the advertising industry at that time. At the same time, Wang Yanan and Li Wuwei were asked to help recruit part-time workers among college students and use their rest time to distribute promotional leaflets in various communities and units. During the opening of each store, Changting implemented preferential and rewarding activities, including VIP preferential activities, points exchange activities, and golden egg smashing activities.

This series of planned activities shocked Xia Ruohan, Wang Jianhua, and Li Na. Who is this person? God! Xia Ruohan felt very fortunate to be able to join Changting Company. How much is in this kid's mind? It's really a big treasure, inexhaustible.

On New Year's Day, Changting Company opened ten stores across the province at the same time. After the early publicity and planning, various activities reached a climax on the opening day.

Xia Ruohan and others invited Li Wujiang to participate in various activities. Li Wujiang refused. His identity determined that he could only be a military advisor behind the scenes. At this time, he was lying alone in the courtyard, enjoying the quiet time.

After the investigation, Shen Zhengyuan had completed the relevant report, and Li Wujiang also read it. Shen Zhengyuan wrote in detail about the implementation of national policies, the problems, causes, and suggestions that occurred during the implementation process; at the same time, Shen Zhengyuan also wrote Li Wujiang's "Three for the People" into the report. This is good, I hope I can really do something for this society.

Lu Donghui, Chen Yimin, Mu Liancheng, and Su Zhenghai all got the report written by Shen Zhengyuan. They thought that the report was detailed, the problems were typical, the causes were analyzed in place, and the suggestions were reasonable and feasible. In particular, the "Three for the People" was a new concept, a banner, and a direction.

For this matter, Su Zhenghai specifically talked to Shen Zhengyuan, asked about the specific process of the investigation, and focused on the idea of ​​"Three for the People". Shen Zhengyuan did not take credit for it, but said that it was Li Wujiang who proposed it at the time. Su Zhenghai nodded and praised and encouraged Shen Zhengyuan and his research.

"This kid is really talented, and he is very politically sensitive. He has raised serving the masses to such a high level all of a sudden." Lv Donghui had to praise this kid.

"Yes, when I talked to Comrade Zhengyuan, he also said that Comrade Xiao Li has a high position, a strong sense of the overall situation, and a strong sense of serving the people. Especially when dealing with the Nandu incident, he thought about the problems carefully and dared to protect the interests of the masses. It is really not easy to be so calm at such a young age," said Su Zhenghai.

"This kid is a good knife. If used well, it will have unexpected effects. As leaders, we must use him well and train him well, so that we can live up to the party. You arrange for him to write a report." Lv Donghui said.

After the grand event on New Year's Day, Changting Company achieved unprecedented success. Major media praised Changting Company as a rising star in the business community and a leader in future franchise stores. The turnover of all Changting Company stores across the province also reached an unprecedented 5 million yuan, which was a huge success at the time.

In order to celebrate, Changting held an unprecedented celebration and thank-you party at Huayuan Hotel, inviting VIP customers to participate. Those who can participate in this event are either high-ranking officials or dignitaries, and it is also a kind of communication for everyone. Li Wujiang participated in this event. Director Zhang Da's wife is also a VIP customer, so Li Wujiang invited Director Zhang Da in his name. Director Zhang Da gave face and also attended the event, which caused a commotion at the scene again.

Of course, Li Wujiang also invited Mu Nianwan, Gu Tingyan, Du Youfa, Wang Yanan and others. The people invited directly or indirectly helped Changting Company.

When Du Youfa knew that Li Wujiang was the behind-the-scenes military strategist of Changting Company, he praised Li Wujiang and hoped that Li Wujiang could help him make a fortune. Li Wujiang told him to get out, and this guy went around looking for beautiful women to drink.

"Brother Jiang, you are so awesome, congratulations to you." Mu Nianwan said.

"Nianwan, you are wrong, it's not congratulations to me, it's congratulations to Changting Company, you have to drink a glass of wine as a penalty," Li Wujiang said with a smile. Then Li Wujiang raised his glass and clinked glasses with Mu Nianwan.

Wang Yanan didn't know anyone here, so she kept staring at Li Wujiang. Seeing Li Wujiang and Mu Nianwan talking and laughing, she became jealous and came over with her glass to clink glasses with Li Wujiang. After drinking with Li Wujiang, she wanted to drink with Mu Nianwan. Seeing that Li Wujiang couldn't resist, Li Na came over and pulled Wang Yanan aside to drink. Li Na looked at the man in front of her and knew that this man was too good. The better he was, the farther away he was from her, but she would never leave him in this life. She secretly made up her mind to win him over next time.
