The pursuit of a position in officialdom

"Xiaoxue takes good care of her, why do she need another nanny?"

"Xiaoxue is young after all and has no experience in taking care of children. We'd better find an older aunt who has given birth to children so she can take better care of An An and you. In addition, Xiaoxue's home is in Nandu City. Is she willing to stay here? We also need to ask for her opinion.”

"Then if we hire another nanny, Mom will be unhappy."

"Mom has been in the capital for a long time. The family also needs her to take care of her. When you are discharged from the hospital, I will send her back to her hometown. She and her father will be companions in her hometown, and they can take care of each other."

"Mom has only been here for a few days. Just let her live in the capital. We can still take care of each other together."

"You also know that she is used to living in the countryside, so she still feels uncomfortable living in a big city. When we have time in the future, we will take An An back to visit the two elderly people often." Li Wujiang said everything. It's true. Rural elderly people really feel uncomfortable and constrained if they stay in the city. Although he did not communicate with his mother, it can be seen from his mother's behavior that she is cautious and walking on thin ice here, fearing that something will happen. It would be better to let her go back, she would be more comfortable.

Li Wujiang arranged for a driver to pick up Liang Heng from Changting Company. Originally, he planned to send someone to pick up Yuan Huaiyi. However, the boss of a large company like Yuan Huaiyi has no shortage of drivers.

Li Wujiang also invited Zhao Chenggong. Originally he was just giving it a try, but Zhao Chenggong actually agreed. This was also something he did not expect.

Li Wujiang arrived at the Huayuan Office in Beijing early and was waiting.

"Sister Xiaomei, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are getting younger and more beautiful. You look like a girl in your twenties."

Bai Xiaomei couldn't stop giggling when Li Wujiang said this. Especially the two little white rabbits on his chest were jumping up and down so much that Li Wujiang was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at them. A woman in her forties doesn't like others to praise her. "Mayor Li, your mouth is as sweet as honey. You are getting bigger and bigger, and you are becoming more eloquent. If Shu Xin follows you, you will be extremely happy."

"Sister Xiaomei, the key is that you have a good figure and are a man. Everyone likes you."

Bai Xiaomei deliberately walked around in front of Li Wujiang. Not to mention that this woman really knew how to take care of herself, it made Li Wujiang a little excited. It’s true that the more mature a woman is, the more interesting she becomes. "You brother can't stop boasting. Come on, go in and take a look. We've done exactly what you asked for. Take a look and see if there's anything else you want to add."

"Sister Xiaomei, I can rest assured when doing things. Is there anything else to see?"

"By the way, Brother Jiang, the sales of Liuhe Winery have been booming recently. The supply exceeds the demand in the capital. Everyone feels honored to be able to drink Liuhe Old Wine. Look at my sister, the stock of Liuhe Old Wine is almost gone."

Chapter 284 The gap is obvious

"Sister Xiaomei, I will ask them to deliver as much as you want. You don't have to supply it in other places in the capital, but you must ensure that you don't have any supply here."

"With your words, my sister will give you a toast tonight."

"Brother Jiang, I have another favor, I wonder if you are willing to help?"

"Sister Xiaomei's business is my business. Whatever you say I can do, I will definitely do it." Li Wujiang knew that the Beijing Office was a key place, and leaders at all levels would pass by, so Bai Xiaomei was particularly important. , which can not only reach the upper level directly, but also be able to navigate Huayuan Province with ease. Therefore, it is not a loss at all to have a good relationship with Bai Xiaomei.

"My brother is still happy. I have a cousin who sells liquor in the capital. Now the situation of Liuhe Liquor in Liuhe Distillery is very good. He wants to be the agent of Liuhe Liquor in Beijing. See if he can do it."

To be honest, Li Wujiang didn't have any involvement in the Liuhe Winery. Fang Shuxin helped Xie Kun run the specific marketing. Of course, a company as popular as Liuhe Winery is not something that ordinary people can represent. In other words, there is no need to worry about selling good wine. Li Wujiang also knew that 90% of what Bai Xiaomei said about his cousin was false. These leaders of the Beijing Office were both officials and entrepreneurs. Doing errands for the government, and often doing their own business. Li Wujiang also sees things through but doesn't tell them. For him, this kind of thing is easy. If you can help, you can help each other. Who may need the other in the future. "This is a good thing. It will help our Liuhe Winery solve the sales problem. Then I will say hello to Mr. Xie of the winery, and they can go and talk."

Bai Xiaomei was very happy when Li Wujiang agreed. He was a little carried away with the excitement, so he hugged Li Wujiang's arm when he came up. The fragrance made Li Wujiang a little horny. Fortunately, Liang Heng, Yuan Huaiyi, and Zhao Chenggong arrived one after another.

Yuan Huaiyi was surprised that Li Wujiang could let Lu Donghui arrange for Liang Heng to have dinner with him. The most surprising thing was that Li Wujiang could invite Zhao Chenggong to have dinner with him. Although they are both state-owned enterprises, there are still differences. Zhao Chenggong is the CEO of a first-category state-owned enterprise and enjoys deputy ministerial-level treatment; Yuan Huaiyi is only the CEO of a second-category state-owned enterprise and enjoys department-level treatment. The difference between the department level and the deputy department level seems to be one level, but they are thousands of miles apart. Some people can't reach this level even if they work hard all their lives. Moreover, Yuan Huaiyi still knows who Zhao Chenggong is, a prominent member of the Zhao family. This is not something anyone can invite. The fact that Li Wujiang was able to ask for help showed that this guy's energy was indeed quite high.

Zhao Chenggong could come and knew Li Wujiang's purpose. But he still came, mainly because he took a fancy to Li Wujiang. This guy is really good. Many things in the future will require this guy to run errands. Besides, the fact that Zhongzhou Machinery can invest in Nandu City is also good news for Huayuan Iron and Steel Company.

"Boss Zhao, long time no see. I didn't expect you to come?" Yuan Huaiyi was very enthusiastic.

"Wujiang said there were important guests to entertain. When I heard it was Boss Yuan, who is an important customer of our company, I followed Wujiang's arrangement and came here." Zhao Chenggong's words were well-spoken. On the one hand, it raised Yuan Huaiyi's position, and on the other hand, it also showed that he had a close relationship with Li Wujiang. He was giving Li Wujiang a long face in front of outsiders.

Li Wujiang also smiled and thanked him. "It is an honor for me, Li, to have the leaders come. Tonight we will taste Huayuan's special delicacies and taste Liuhe old wine at Huayuan's Beijing Office."

Among these people, Liang Heng has the lowest level, only at the director level, but he represents Lu Donghui. Li Wujiang arranged him to be below Zhao Chenggong, which is also a respect for him. Liang Heng was also very satisfied with Li Wujiang's arrangement, especially he was willing to make friends with Zhao Chenggong in such an occasion.

Bai Xiaomei is worthy of being the director of the Beijing Office, a socialite in the officialdom. With her, there is no dull moment at the wine table. Her dirty jokes make the leaders present smile.

When the wine was in full swing, Li Wujiang raised his glass to thank Yuan Huaiyi and implicitly expressed his intention to invite Yuan Huaiyi to invest in Nandu City.

Zhao Chenggong also said that he hoped Huayuan Steel Company and Zhongzhou Machinery Company would work together for common development.

Yuan Huaiyi is not a fool. He knows that there is no good wine and no good banquet. So many leaders said good things for Li Wujiang. It would be unreasonable if he didn't accept the favor.

The wine was very good and everyone was very happy. Before leaving, Bai Xiaomei also put Huayuan's local specialties on the cars of the leaders. This is what it's like to work in the Beijing Office. Li Wujiang didn't explain it, but they took the initiative to consider it for you.

Li Wujiang didn't go to the hospital again after drinking, for fear of disturbing Fang Shuxin and her son's rest. So he called Zhao Qianlong. No matter what, as a brother, Li Wujiang felt it necessary to persuade him.

Zhao Qianlong was still in the bar at this time. Li Wujiang was going to take a taxi, but Bai Xiaomei arranged for the driver to take him there.

When Li Wujiang opened the door, to be honest, it was a bit too eye-catching. It was basically a restricted area for minors. Under the dim light, Jingjing was lying on Zhao Qianlong, and Huanhuan was lying in his arms, hugging him left and right, enjoying all the joy in the world. No wonder he was so happy that he had to break up with Dong Yueyue.

Li Wujiang coughed loudly. Zhao Qianlong saw Li Wujiang coming and let the two women get up.

"Brother Jiang, why haven't you rested yet so late?"

"I was having dinner with your uncle just now. I was really free, so I thought of coming to see you. I didn't expect you to live such a comfortable life. I wouldn't have bothered you if I had known."

"With my uncle. My uncle is a man with high standards. He can accompany you for dinner, which proves that he really appreciates you."

"Brother Jiang, come and have a drink." Huanhuan poured wine and came to sit next to Li Wujiang to toast him.

Li Wujiang clinked glasses with Huanhuan and said to her, "You and Jingjing go out first, I'll talk to Qianlong."

"Brother Jiang, you won't think Huanhuan and I are in the way, will you? We will serve you two quietly and ensure that we won't delay your conversation." Jingjing said in a coquettish voice.

Li Wujiang saw that Zhao Qianlong didn't react. If it was normal, he would have driven them out. It seems that Zhao Qianlong is deeply involved and can't extricate himself. At this time, he did not show any good face to the two women, saying "I said, you two go out first, I want to talk to Qianlong, why do you let me say it again."

Jingjing and Huanhuan saw that Li Wujiang was angry, so they complained and went out.

"Qianlong, you are living a life of luxury now, this is not the you of the past. Even if you break up with Dong Yueyue, you should not humiliate yourself like this." Li Wujiang advised kindly.

Chapter 285 A full house of friends, a happy gathering

"Brother Jiang, Dong Yueyue and I have moved on, don't mention her anymore. I live a more comfortable life without her." Zhao Qianlong said while drinking wine in big gulps.

"Drink less. This is not the way you used to be. You were so focused on business. Look at what you have become now. You get drunk every day and have fun. You will make your family and brothers worry."

"Now I know that this is also good. What's wrong with eating, drinking and having fun? Isn't it for spending all the money you earn?"

Li Wujiang suddenly felt that he didn't know Zhao Qianlong. In just a few months, the change was too big. The former Zhao Qianlong who was motivated and focused on making money was gone. Now this Zhao Qianlong only knew how to drink and have fun. Li Wujiang really didn't want to care about this guy anymore. But thinking of the good relationship between the brothers in those years, Li Wujiang felt a little bit reluctant. "Qianlong, you have to cheer up. Your brother has a big plan to make money waiting for you next."

"Brother Jiang, forget it. I am already very satisfied now. I have Jingjing and Huanhuan to accompany me. I am already very satisfied."

It is hard to support a rotten wall, but Li Wujiang can no longer find other adjectives to describe Zhao Qianlong at this moment.

Li Wujiang saw that he couldn't persuade him for a while, so he stood up and said goodbye, and ignored Zhao Qianlong. When he walked to the door of other private rooms, Li Wujiang saw Jingjing and other men having fun, hugging and kissing, which was disgusting. It seems that these two girls are not good people. Li Wujiang originally thought that if these two girls were good people, it would be a good thing to accompany Zhao Qianlong, but he didn't expect them to be such people. It seems that someone should be found to investigate the background of these two girls.

Li Wujiang walked on the streets of Beijing, and the cool breeze made him sober up instantly. The only thing that remains unchanged in this society is change.

Fang Shuxin and her son were discharged from the hospital after staying in the hospital for a week. After coming out, they took the child to Grandpa Fang to see. Grandpa Fang kept praising him and named the child Fang Yunfan, which means "setting sail to cross the sea".

Li Wujiang handed the investigation of the identities of the two girls to Fang Shuxin, which was a piece of cake for Fang Shuxin. Although she is not working for the time being, her media company has a group of tabloid reporters, and it is most appropriate to give this job to them. Li Wujiang's only request for this matter is to keep it confidential.

Li Wujiang and Fang Shuxin simply held a birth party for the child, and most of the people who came were Fang Shuxin's relatives, friends and colleagues. Although Li Wujiang did not notify much, a group of friends including Xia Ruohan, Li Na, Wang Jianguo, Ma Tianyu, Song Beiyang, Song Xiyang, Gu Tingyan, Du Youfa, Wang Yanan, Song Ziwei, etc. still came. Not only that, Xie Fei, Chang Yafei, Zhang Zhiqiang, Deng Xiaoyan, Xi Yunhai, Liu Yuan, Feng Yun, Bai Xiaomei and other old subordinates and old colleagues also came. Even Wang Shaohong and Xu Mingyuan, who were in Beijing, came. Li Wujiang was very pleased. I didn't expect that after so many years, my friends, colleagues and classmates have also stepped onto their own stages.

However, what Li Wujiang regretted was that Zhao Qianlong did not come. He was worried that meeting Dong Yueyue on the spot would cause trouble for Li Wujiang's banquet, so he expressed his congratulations to Li Wujiang in advance.

Fang Zhiguo personally hosted the banquet for his grandson, and Lu Donghui, Mu Liancheng, Su Zhenghai, Zhao Chenggong and other bigwigs from all walks of life came to participate.

The cadres from Nandu City really saw the power behind Li Wujiang, and let everyone know what it means to be a real person without showing your true face. At this moment, everyone's heart is closer to Li Wujiang.

It has been a long time since they have gathered together like this. Li Wujiang and everyone are very happy to drink and talk.

"Xie Fei, how is the recent progress of enterprise restructuring?" Li Wujiang took the opportunity to ask Xie Fei about his recent situation.

"Mayor Li, you should take care of your family affairs first. Work matters can be done slowly." Xie Fei also didn't want to distract Li Wujiang, so she reported to Li Wujiang on the phone recently, and reported good news but not bad news.

"You don't have to worry about my family. How is Nandu Pharmaceutical? Is there any progress?"

"Now Mr. Liu is in contact with many investors, but the conditions proposed by Nandu Pharmaceutical are too harsh, and most of the investors are scared away. After one round of talks, there is no follow-up. Now Mr. Liu is also very anxious. We are still doing publicity and mobilization work for the other three companies, but the resistance is very strong. It is not as easy as the preliminary work of Nandu Pharmaceutical. Mayor Li, I am not doing my job well." After Li Wujiang walked for a while, Xie Fei realized that the work was difficult. She originally planned to make a breakthrough in her work during Li Wujiang's vacation, and give him a surprise when Li Wujiang returned. Unexpectedly, everything did not get better.

"You don't have to blame yourself. I have said that the reform is not so simple. We must be prepared to fight hard and protracted battles, and we must also have the determination and confidence to win. Of course, we must find the right countermeasures, use them flexibly, and break through one by one."

Xie Fei seemed to understand what Li Wujiang said. However, Li Wujiang didn't have so much time to explain it to her in detail. Let's talk about it when we return to Nandu City.

Li Wujiang originally planned to stay in Beijing for two days, but he got the news that Shen Zhengyuan had an accident. Shen Zhengyuan and Li Wujiang were both teachers and friends. They lived in the same collective building, and Shen Zhengyuan took good care of him. Especially the two had common ideals and ambitions. Shen Zhengyuan sacrificed his family for work. Li Wujiang didn't believe that Shen Zhengyuan would make a mistake.

After Li Wujiang quickly arranged everything, he took his mother Wu Dongmei and Xiaoxue back to Nandu. Before leaving, Fang Shuxin cried a lot. She was used to staying with Wu Dongmei and Xiaoxue for so long, and she was a little uncomfortable with them leaving suddenly.

Li Wujiang persuaded her to take them to Nandu to live together when the children were a little older. Fang Shuxin felt better.

"Mom, whenever you and dad want to come in the future, I will go back to pick you up. This will always be your home." Li Wujiang said on the way to the airport with Wu Dongmei.

"Jiangwa, mom is from the countryside. I don't know a lot of things in the city. I can't help you and I've caused a lot of trouble for Shuxin and you. After I leave, you have to take good care of Shuxin and An'an."

"Mom, you can't say that. You are my real mother. No matter where you are, I will always care about you. You and dad don't have to work anymore. You can go around and just take care of your health."

Xiaoxue also echoed beside him. Let Wu Dongmei rest more. When she has time, she can live in Nandu City and keep Li Wujiang company.

Chapter 286 The wind wants to calm but the tree does not stop. Shen Zhengyuan is in trouble

"Mayor Shen, since you are here, you should tell the relevant issues honestly." Yuan Chengji, director of the second office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, said.

"Director Yuan, I don't understand what you said at all. I, Shen Zhengyuan, do things openly and honestly. If you have any evidence, just put it on the table. If it was me, Shen Zhengyuan, who did it, I will admit it. If it wasn't me, Shen Zhengyuan, don't try to blame me."

Shen Zhengyuan's awe-inspiring and upright look gave Yuan Chengji a headache. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection also received a report that Shen Zhengyuan accepted a gift of 300,000 yuan, which was a considerable sum at the time.

"Comrade Shen Zhengyuan, as a cadre of the country, I hope you will answer truthfully and don't resist. Since we brought you here, we must have certain evidence. Leniency for confession and severity for resistance. The organization will deal leniently with comrades who truthfully reflect problems, and will never show mercy to those who disregard laws and regulations."

"I dare to act and take responsibility. I didn't do anything, so I'm not afraid of your investigation."

"I think you won't cry until you see the coffin, and you won't give up until you see the Yellow River."

It was Luo Juan who called Li Wujiang to tell Shen Zhengyuan about the accident. Although Luo Juan and Shen Zhengyuan have divorced in recent years, they are still married. Shen Zhengyuan did not go home for work all year round, which made Luo Juan frustrated and divorced Shen Zhengyuan. Although the two divorced, neither of them remarried, and they had children, so they often visited each other. This time, when Shen Zhengyuan was supposed to visit the children, Shen Zhengyuan did not show up. When Luo Juan learned about it, she knew that Shen Zhengyuan was taken away by the comrades of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Luo Juan did not know other officials in recent years. She only knew that Shen Zhengyuan and Li Wujiang had a good relationship, so she called Li Wujiang with a try-and-see attitude. Unexpectedly, Li Wujiang agreed and arrived in Bianzhou soon.

"Sister-in-law, what's going on?" As soon as Li Wujiang returned to Huayuan, he asked Ning Xiaowei to send his mother Wu Dongmei and Xiaoxue back to his hometown, and then he went straight to Luo Juan's residence.

"Wujiang, I don't know much. I only know that Zhengyuan was taken away by comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. The comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection searched his home and my home, and found 300,000 yuan in cash in his home." Luo Juan's tears flowed as she spoke.
