The pursuit of a position in officialdom

When Li Wujiang found Zhao Qianlong, the guy was still hanging out in the bar. Jingjing and Huanhuan were still surrounding him.

Zhao Qianlong didn't react for a moment when Li Wujiang came to him. At that time, Huanhuan pressed herself against Li Wujiang's body enthusiastically, but was pushed away by Li Wujiang. Li Wujiang now knows what these two girls are, so he has no good feelings towards them.

Jingjing and Huanhuan saw that Li Wujiang was angry, so they took the initiative to leave Zhao Qianlong to leave space for the two of them.

Li Wujiang called Zhao Qianlong out for a drink. When Zhao Qianlong heard that there was wine, he followed Li Wujiang and left.

Chapter 320: Indulging in wine and sex, friends fall into ruin

Looking at Zhao Qianlong, Li Wujiang suddenly didn't know where to start. It was Zhao Qianlong who took the initiative to speak. "Brother Jiang, you don't have to worry about me, I have a sense of proportion in my heart."

"Qianlong, I know your character. It is because I know your character that I want to have a good talk with you. We are brothers and can talk about anything. Do you still remember when we worked together in high spirits? , you still remember when we were in the ups and downs of the U.S. stock market, and you still remember when we were talking about the future in Jiangzhou. I don’t know why you are sinking now. Is it because of two women like you, Zhao Qianlong? , Is there a shortage of good women? You have to find such a woman. Don’t think my words are harsh. I will treat you like a brother and I will say this today. If you think what I said. It doesn't make sense, then we will no longer be brothers." Li Wujiang did not give Zhao Qianlong and Feng Xiaoyu, but directly hit him with a headshot.

Zhao Qianlong was frightened by Li Wujiang's harsh words. No matter how much he indulged in wine and sex, he never thought about losing his brother Li Wujiang one day. "Brother Jiang, I know you are all doing this for my own good, but what happened to Dong Yueyue made me very disappointed. Jingjing and Huanhuan gave me a lot of joy and gave me a lot of what I wanted."

Li Wujiang did not expect that it was not only Dong Yueyue but also Zhao Qianlong who was emotionally hurt. This kid has feelings for Dong Yueyue, but he can't stand Dong Yueyue's oppressive and intimidating feelings, which is why he has come so far step by step.

"Qianlong, I don't want to judge your feelings. Everyone has the right to pursue their own feelings. I know you don't want to wear the shackles of feelings, and I support you. But you can't fall into the prison of feelings just to escape from feelings. , This is not the Zhao Qianlong I know. Besides, those two girls are not worthy of you paying so much for them." Li Wujiang took out a photo from his pocket and threw it in front of Zhao Qianlong. "Take a good look. These are two girls who are good to you. See if they are sincere towards you."

Zhao Qianlong looked at the photo that Li Wujiang threw over and suddenly cried like crazy, roaring loudly, "What are you doing? Who asked you to follow them? Who asked you to be afraid of them? Who asked you to take care of my affairs?" "

Li Wujiang was also frightened by Zhao Qianlong's sudden roar. This was the first time in so many years that he saw Zhao Qianlong so angry. However, Li Wujiang was not frightened by the sight in front of him. Instead, he faced Zhao Qianlong and said, "If you weren't my brother, I wouldn't want to interfere with your affairs. Do you think other people are idle? Do you think these two girls have nothing to do with you?" Is there a relationship between you? You should be sober. If it weren't for you being a child of the old Zhao family, if it weren't for the fact that you have two dollars in your hand, they would follow you. If a girl like this could follow you wholeheartedly, what would I do? I won’t say anything. You have to see clearly what they are like, and don’t blame the brothers for not reminding you then.”

Li Wujiang saw Zhao Qianlong crying very sadly, and felt uncomfortable inside. But this is not the time for him to be soft-hearted. If he wants to wake up Zhao Qianlong, he needs to be more violent. "Qianlong, I will say this today. If you still regard us as friends, I hope you can cheer up, Shu Xin and Ruohan, and continue to build a business empire; if you cannot wake up, let's say goodbye today. From now on, everyone will pretend that they have never met each other. Think carefully, I will wait for your answer. I believe you can return to the Zhao Qianlong you were before, and I believe we can contribute to the strength of the country together." Li Wujiang left after saying this. , did not look back, what he wanted was for Zhao Qianlong to reflect and reflect.

Amid everyone's envy, Li Wujiang accompanied his superiors on the trip. Since international flights were not very smooth at that time, the special plane flew to Guangxia first, stayed in Guangxia for one day, and then flew to Southeast Asian countries.

On the plane, Li Wujiang saw Zhao Tianyu, but the identity of the two was very different. Li Wujiang did not have the nerve to disturb the leader, but chatted with some officials from the diplomatic and commercial departments. Everyone found it strange that Li Wujiang, the deputy mayor of a prefecture-level city, could accompany the chief minister on his trip, but everyone understood that since he could be selected, it meant that he had certain abilities.

While Li Wujiang was discussing the international situation with this group of people, Zhao Tianyu's secretary came to invite Li Wujiang in person. Everyone watched Li Wujiang being invited to talk by the leader, with envy in their eyes.

"Good leader." Li Wujiang felt a little trembling in his heart when he saw that there were a group of leaders around him.

"Dong Hui, you see this guy is starting to be humble. This is not like Comrade Xiao Li who was so bold and courageous."

Li Wujiang was a little embarrassed by what he said. He scratched his head and didn't dare to answer.

"You kid, stop being modest. They say you have the world in mind. I asked you to come here just to hear your views on the current international situation and what you think about our trip to Southeast Asia."

Li Wujiang never expected that Zhao Tianyu would ask him what he thought of the international trend. This was obviously a test of himself. However, Li Wujiang had also seen big scenes and was not intimidated by such scenes. He cleared his throat and said, "The world is currently facing major changes that have not been seen in a century. Changes in the world, changes in the times, and changes in history are happening at an unprecedented pace." The world has entered a new period of turmoil and change. The instability and uncertainty in the international situation have increased significantly. Geopolitical games are sharp and complex. Hegemonism, power politics, unilateralism, and protectionism are rampant. Infectious diseases, natural disasters, etc. Threats continue, and peace deficit, development deficit, security deficit, and governance deficit have become increasingly prominent. Faced with the complex and severe international situation and the ensuing risks and challenges, countries around the world have become more aware of the value of independence, independence, and peaceful development. Peace, development, cooperation, and Win-win has become the popular aspiration of the international community. Our country adheres to an independent foreign policy of peace, safeguards the fundamental interests of our people, complies with the trend of the times and the common expectations of people of all countries, stands on the right side of history, and stands on the side of human progress. On the other hand, it has made important contributions to the promotion of world peace and development and the progress of human civilization.”

Li Wujiang's words were so coherent that the leaders around him were dumbfounded. Those who didn't know better thought that this guy was just a diplomat.

"Comrade Wujiang, during our trip this time, what measures do you think will be more conducive to uniting countries to resolve this financial crisis?" Yi Mingyuan from Beijing Bank also felt that this kid was becoming more and more interesting.

Chapter 321 Time makes people grow old, and a new generation makes the old people old.

Li Wujiang felt that it was time to show off his talents, so he boldly started his own lobbying. "Mr. President Iraq, development must not only rely on self-reliance. In this era of global co-prosperity, we must firmly pursue a mutually beneficial and win-win opening strategy and be committed to building a new development pattern and promoting high-quality development in open cooperation, while achieving our own goals. To achieve greater development and promote common development of all countries, especially in response to this financial crisis, we must propose a global development initiative, advocate placing development in a prominent position in the global macro policy framework, and promote economic globalization to become more open, inclusive, and universal. We pursue development in the direction of benefit, balance, and win-win, and advocate a global economic governance concept of equality, openness, cooperation, and sharing. We adhere to the correct direction of economic globalization, promote the construction of an open world economy, maintain the security, stability, and openness of global industrial and supply chains, and oppose unilateralism. Borderism and protectionism. my country must coordinate and cooperate with relevant parties, actively participate in and promote regional and international financial cooperation, and actively participate in various Economic Cooperation Organization meetings, emphasizing strengthening international cooperation to prevent the spread of the crisis, reform and improve the international financial system, and We respect the three propositions of independent choices made by relevant countries and regions to overcome the financial crisis. The top priority is to strengthen the regulation and supervision of short-term working capital. We advocate that countries communicate on macro issues such as financial reform. We recommend holding dialogue at the finance minister level and conducting timely dialogue as needed. Establish an expert group to conduct in-depth research on specific ways to regulate short-term flowing capital. At the same time, my country will conduct dialogue and cooperation with other countries within multilateral cooperation mechanisms to promote the multilateral mechanisms to play a greater role and promote the conclusion and entry into force of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement. , deepen cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. Build new multilateral cooperation platforms, jointly build infrastructure investment banks, Silk Road funds, etc., enrich the practice of multilateralism under the new situation, and expand new space for open cooperation and mutual benefit among countries.”

Lu Donghui felt more and more that Li Wujiang was a talented person. He was an all-rounder in economics, organization, and diplomacy. He just opened his mouth.

"It is true that time makes people grow old, and a new generation makes the old people old. What Comrade Xiao Li said is very good. This era is in a period of great changes. How can we seize opportunities and win development opportunities in this era of great changes? It is crucial. Especially Behind this financial crisis, what we should do is particularly important. Comrade Xiao Li, you advocate strengthening international cooperation to stop the spread of the crisis, reform and improve the international financial system, please tell us why? "

After Zhao Tianyu finished speaking, these leaders looked at Li Wujiang with admiration. They did not expect that this young man initiated this trip.

Li Wujiang was a little embarrassed to be praised by Zhao Tianyu, but the leader asked him to say it, and he had to say it, not only to say it, but also to say it beautifully. This will allow your country to avoid detours, gain a foothold on the international stage as soon as possible, and create opportunities for the country's development. “Dear leaders, our country has been implementing reform and opening up for nearly two decades. Now our country has entered a new period of reform and opening up. Our country must promote the establishment of a new international political and economic order, adhere to the path of peaceful development, and build a harmonious world in accordance with changes in domestic and international situations. We must deeply grasp the general trend of world development, promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, build a new type of international relations, and promote the major-country diplomacy with characteristics in the new era to continuously create new situations. . Unswervingly safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, create a good external environment for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country, and make unremitting efforts to promote the noble cause of world peace and development."

Li Wujiang's new terms of establishing a new international political and economic order, building a community with a shared future for mankind, and building a new type of international relations have aroused heated discussions among leaders.

"Which department does Comrade Xiao Li work in?" Kong Lingchang, the head of the foreign affairs department, was very interested in Li Wujiang.

"Minister Kong, I work in Nandu City, Huayuan Province."

Li Wujiang's answer surprised Kong Lingchang. A cadre from a prefecture-level city spoke very skillfully in diplomatic rhetoric, and he did not lose the demeanor of a diplomat at all. "Chief, Comrade Xiao Li is a talented person. Do you think you can transfer Comrade Xiao Li to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

"Minister Kong, Comrade Xiao Li's talents in business are even more outstanding. If he works in the Ministry of Commerce, he will be able to play a greater role." Liu Guoxuan, the head of the commerce department, also joined the competition at this time.

Lu Donghui stood next to him with a wry smile on his face. He had wanted this boy to join the planning committee for a long time, but this boy never let go. This was simply unbelievable in the eyes of others. Faced with competition from the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lu Donghui believed that these two departments would not want to take Li Wujiang away.

"Comrade Xiao Li is indeed a rare talent. If our country has more such talents and more cadres, our country will become rich and powerful sooner or later. Therefore, we must strengthen talent training and organizational capacity building, We will continue to build a team of cadres who are politically competent, professionally proficient, courageous, loyal and clean to provide a strong guarantee for writing a new chapter of a modern and characteristic country in the new era.”

After arriving in Guangxia, Li Wujiang received a call from Zhao Qianlong. After being strongly stimulated by Li Wujiang, the boy finally came to his senses and apologized to Li Wujiang, saying that he would stand up again. Li Wujiang was also very happy that Zhao Qianlong could find him and asked him to report to Li Na as soon as possible.

Only then did Zhao Qianlong think of the stock market opportunities that Li Wujiang told him years ago. After hearing this, he was very excited and immediately booked a flight ticket, preparing to rush to a small island to help Li Na.

Zhao Qianlong's return made Li Wujiang very happy. After staying in Jiangzhou for a day, Li Wujiang had nothing to do in the hotel, and then he remembered that Li Guixiang was also in Jiangzhou City. Since Li Guixiang left Jiangzhou, the two people have had less and less contact. Li Wujiang planned to visit Li Guixiang's restaurant.

The hotel opened by Li Guixiang was named Dongyuege Hotel by Li Wujiang. Li Wujiang took a taxi and found the place easily. What Li Wujiang didn't expect was that a gangster was teasing Li Guixiang in the hotel and coaxed all the guests out.

"Xiao Xiangxiang, just obey me, and I will have a brother to protect you in Jiangzhou from now on." A man in his forties with a scar had a wretched look on his face, which made people feel disgusted.

"Brother Scar, this is a small shop. We will hand over all the protection money you want, so please don't embarrass us orphans and widowed mothers." Li Guixiang said with tears in her eyes.

Chapter 322: Go to the Three Treasures Hall No Matter What

"Xiao Xiangxiang, I know it's not easy for you orphans and widowers, so I let you follow me. From now on, you will be rich and drink hot food with me. If anyone dares to bully you, you can come to me." Scar said. Brother reached out to touch Li Guixiang's face, but Li Guixiang dodged it.

Li Wujiang was very angry when he saw this scene. He originally thought that Li Guixiang would have a good life under the care of Wang Jianhua and others in Jiangzhou City. I never thought it would be so difficult for a woman to go out. Li Wujiang is not a young boy, and he knows that he cannot deal with these gangsters with his three-legged cat skills. It seemed that he still asked for foreign aid. Li Wujiang immediately thought of Fang Shuxin's uncle Madelin, but Fang Shuxin would know about it. Li Wujiang thought of Lei Ming again, his classmate at the Cadre Academy, who happened to be the secretary of this district.

Lei Ming was also very excited when he saw Li Wujiang calling him. I would like to thank Li Wujiang for being promoted from district mayor to district committee secretary so quickly. It was precisely because of Li Wujiang's introduction that he was able to make friends with Ma Deming, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. "Old classmate, why do you call me when you have time?"

"Brother Lei, I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. If I need help, I'll ask you for help." Li Wujiang saw that the situation was urgent, so he went straight to the topic without thinking too much about greeting Lei Ming.

After hearing what Li Wujiang said, Lei Ming asked Li Wujiang to wait there, and he rushed over immediately.

Li Wujiang called and saw that the scarred face was getting more and more aggressive. He hugged Li Guixiang and wanted to put his hand into Li Guixiang's arms. He was so angry that he shouted loudly, "In broad daylight, what do you gangsters want to do, bully a decent woman?"

Brother Scar turned his head and saw that Li Wujiang was alone. He smiled wildly, "You want to be a hero and save the beauty, but you don't even know how capable you are. If you show off in front of me, you are seeking death."

Li Guixiang also recognized Li Wujiang at this time, and waved Li Wujiang away. But Li Wujiang is by no means a timid person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. "I don't want a hero to save the beauty, but I will never allow you to bully her. In the world of Jiangzhou City people, do you think no one can control you?"

"You kid, I think you are an outsider. I don't even know Brother Scar's reputation. There is no one in Jiangzhou who is not afraid of Brother Scar. It's her blessing that Brother Scar likes her." A younger brother complimented Dao. Brother Scar.

"Oh, those who live in society are all eldest brothers. The eldest brother should behave like a big brother. Bullying men and dominating women is what kind of hero." Li Wujiang said and walked to Li Guixiang's side and handed it to her. A reassuring look. Li Wujiang didn't expect that he could calm down the situation with just a few words. He was deliberately stalling for time, hoping that Lei Ming could arrange for someone to come over as soon as possible.

"Xiao Xiangxiang, this man can't be your lover. You've hurt my heart too much. Look at his small body, how can he withstand the torment. Look at my brother's figure, I'm sure you'll be happy."

A group of gangsters laughed when they saw Brother Scar saying this.

"Wujiang, you shouldn't wade into this muddy water." Li Wujiang's appearance made Li Guixiang happy, but it also made her worried. He came at the wrong time.

"Sister-in-law Guixiang, since I'm here, I have to keep you safe."

Hearing what Li Wujiang said, Li Guixiang was moved to tears. If you haven’t been to other places, you don’t know how difficult it is to live there. Li Guixiang came out just hoping that she could make a name for herself, not cause trouble to Li Wujiang, and make everyone respect her. She didn't expect that there would be many obstacles in the outside world.

The man with the scar saw that Li Guixiang and Li Wujiang knew each other, and returned the favor. He suddenly became furious and shouted to all the little brothers to rush forward and beat Wujiang severely.

Li Wujiang knew that he and Li Guixiang were no match for these gangsters, so he took Li Guixiang and hid everywhere. These gangsters picked up the tables and chairs in the hotel and threw them everywhere.

Seeing Scar Man forcing Li Wujiang and Li Guixiang into the corner and about to beat them up, the police arrived. Brother Scar and his brothers were about to retreat, but unfortunately they were made dumplings by the police.

Brother Scar stepped forward to greet a police officer. It seemed that the two parties knew each other. But this time the police officer ignored him and had Brother Scar detained directly. Then he walked straight to Li Wujiang and said, "Mr. Li, I've frightened you. We will definitely deal with these lawbreakers seriously."

Li Wujiang knew that these police officers had something to do with these gangsters, but if Li Guixiang wanted to continue to open a restaurant on the territory of others, he still needed the protection of local people. So Li Wujiang only expressed his gratitude and said nothing more.

Lei Ming also rushed to the scene quickly and first expressed condolences to Li Wujiang and Li Guixiang. Then ask the local public security personnel to deal with these gangsters sternly.

"Wujiang, I'm so sorry. I really didn't expect that there would be such rampant gangsters in my jurisdiction. This is really a slap in the face. It was my dereliction of duty." Lei Ming quickly apologized to Li Wujiang. He was worried that Li Wujiang would report it to Ma Deming. Condition.

"Brother Lei, thank you for your help. There are not three or two moths anywhere." Li Wujiang said gratefully.

"Wujiang, when you come to Jiangzhou, why don't you say hello in advance?"

"I was passing by temporarily. I thought that my sister-in-law from my hometown had opened a restaurant here, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect that something like this would happen."

Li Wujiang and Lei Ming were chatting at Li Guixiang's restaurant. Li Guixiang had already asked the chef to quickly cook a few special dishes. After Li Guixiang finished her work, Li Wujiang asked her to sit down as well. After all, Li Guixiang had also been a manager, so she didn't have stage fright, but it was the first time she met an outsider with Li Wujiang, and she felt a little excited.

"Sister Guixiang, this is Secretary Lei from this district. Thanks to Secretary Lei for helping me today. Please pour two more glasses for Secretary Lei later."

Li Guixiang knew that Li Wujiang was very powerful, but she did not expect that Li Wujiang would directly invite the district committee secretary. She immediately stood up and thanked Lei Ming.

Lei Ming saw that Li Wujiang respected Li Guixiang, which meant that the two of them were relatives in his hometown, so he immediately took care of him, "Sister-in-law Guixiang, if Wujiang asks you to call me this, I will call you this too. If you have anything to do in Jiangzhou from now on, just come to me." "

What Li Wujiang wants is Lei Ming's statement. With Lei Ming's care, it will be much easier for Li Guixiang in Jiangzhou, at least he won't be bullied anymore.

Lei Ming wanted to keep Li Wujiang in Jiangzhou for a few more days. Li Wujiang said that he was on a mission and would definitely play for a few more days next time he had the chance. Lei Ming also knew Li Wujiang's identity. If he said something was going on, it was true, so he didn't hold back too much.

After Lei Ming left, Li Guixiang took Li Wujiang to his home in Jiangzhou. Although the house is not big, it is very cozy. Li Wujiang looked at the woman in front of him. He had not seen her for just a few days and had already lost a lot of weight.

Chapter 323: Big countries have strong diplomacy, but small countries have no diplomacy

"Wujiang, today is too dangerous. I don't deserve you to stand up for me. You have given me too much." Li Guixiang looked at the little man next to her. Whenever she encountered difficulties, she could rely on her own strength. Make these obstacles invisible.

"Sister-in-law Guixiang, you'd better go back to Nandu with me. I'm worried about you wandering around alone."

"Wujiang, I can't be a drag on you. With your help this time, I believe I will be able to gain a firm foothold in Jiangzhou." Li Guixiang knew that as Li Wujiang's official position grew, he would also attract more and more attention. People should be aware that if they accompany Li Wujiang all the time, they will definitely bring trouble to him.

Li Wujiang knew that he didn't understand persuasion. The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, so it was inevitable that they would feel emotional and lingering.

Li Wujiang officially started his journey to a great country with his leadership, and Zhao Tianyu and Lu Donghui also created many opportunities for him. Because of Li Wujiang's clear diplomatic thinking and good image, he suddenly became the focus of reporters' inquiries abroad. With the permission of the leader, Li Wujiang also boldly stated his views.

"Hello, Mr. Li, Asian countries are currently facing a financial crisis. As a world power, what should your country do in this regard?" a Xinguo reporter asked after Li Wujiang.

"Our country is a responsible major country and firmly pursues an independent foreign policy of peace, which is the right choice in line with the trend of the times and the fundamental interests of the people of all countries. We will actively contribute our country's wisdom and solutions to promote the global governance system to be more in line with the trend of the times and practical needs. . Promote the global governance system to be more consistent with the changing world political and economic landscape, conform to the historical trend of peaceful development and win-win cooperation, and meet the practical needs of responding to global challenges.”

"The current world situation is that big countries have strong diplomacy and small countries have no diplomacy. Do you think this is the case?"

"The independent foreign policy of peace in the new era is an organic unity of firmly safeguarding the country's core major interests and promoting international fairness and justice. Our country does not covet the rights and interests of other countries, nor is it jealous of the development of other countries, but it will never give up our legitimate rights and interests. No foreign country should expect us to do so. Trade our own core interests and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests. We always insist that our country’s future and destiny are closely linked to the future and destiny of the world, adhere to the policy purpose of maintaining world peace and promoting common development, and insist on bearing the responsibility of the world. As a responsible major country, my country is committed to working with other countries to promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind and to work together to build a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, inclusiveness, cleanness and beauty. Our country has always been a builder of world peace and a contributor to global development. The defender of the international order continues to make new and greater contributions to the development and progress of mankind. my country has proposed a global governance concept of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, giving global governance new era characteristics and value connotations. , actively promote the democratization of global governance rules, advocate that the destiny of the world is jointly controlled by all countries, international rules are jointly written by all countries, global affairs are jointly governed by all countries, and development results are shared by all countries, promote equal rights, equal opportunities, and equal rules for all countries, and ensure The representation and voice of developing countries oppose unilateralism, hegemonism, and "one country's hegemony" or "several parties co-governance" to promote global governance changes with the concept of extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits. Build broad consensus within the scope, mobilize enthusiasm to the maximum extent, enhance the representativeness and inclusiveness of global governance, make the global governance system reflect the wishes of the majority of countries in a more balanced manner, and inject new ideological impetus into the reform process.”

Li Wujiang's speech caused an uproar abroad, and also attracted the support of Southeast Asian countries, who all agreed that a responsible power was rising. This also adds a lot of highlights to the chief minister’s peaceful visit.
