The pursuit of a position in officialdom

This entrustment from Grandpa Fang made Li Wujiang a little panic. Now, not to mention other people in the old Fang family, his father-in-law Fang Zhiguo is a provincial official, his uncle Liu Chunlin is a deputy ministerial-level executive of the Ministry of Transportation, and his younger uncle Ma Delin is also a deputy ministerial-level executive. None of them can be compared with him. "Grandpa, don't worry. The old Fang family has my father-in-law, uncle, and younger uncle. I believe that the old Fang family will get better and better. Besides, your body is still very strong, and you will definitely be able to see everyone's growth."

Chapter 371 Beijing Office, Bridgehead

Grandpa Fang shook his head and said, "They can't be compared with you. You have a longer way to go than them. As long as you work wholeheartedly for the people and the country, you should work boldly, and the old Fang family will fully support you."

The old man talked for a while and then got tired. Li Wujiang and Fang Shuxin stayed by for a while and then left. The old man's words made Li Wujiang ashamed. He knew that he still had a lot to do and work hard for.

Li Wujiang originally did not plan to participate in the activities organized by Zhu Hongfan, but he received a call from Bai Xiaomei, which made it difficult for him to refuse. He could not give others the impression that he would forget the old man after leaving Huayuan Province.

Compared with the Huayuan Office in Beijing, the Jining Office in Beijing is not as good as the Huayuan Office in Beijing. Of course, this is related to the economy, but also to the customs of a place. Huayuan people pay more attention to face and style. Jining people pay attention to practicality and do not care about appearance.

Zhu Hongfan and Bai Xiaomei had been waiting for Li Wujiang at the gate. It is unbelievable that a deputy department-level cadre was greeted by two full-level cadres, but Li Wujiang's identity is different, and the symbolic meaning is different.

After Li Wujiang shook hands with Zhu Hongfan, he was ready to shake hands with Bai Xiaomei, but he did not expect Bai Xiaomei to open her arms and give Li Wujiang a warm hug.

"Brother Wujiang, long time no see, sister misses you very much." Bai Xiaomei's figure was too plump, and Li Wujiang was a little embarrassed when she hugged him.

"Sister Xiaomei is still as graceful as ever, and looks younger and younger, as if she's back to 18 years old."

"Brother, your little mouth is still so sweet, and everyone likes it." Bai Xiaomei said with a smile.

After the two separated, Li Wujiang saw two people behind Zhu Hongfan. Li Wujiang originally thought they were comrades from the Beijing Office, but after listening to Zhu Hongfan's introduction, Li Wujiang was a little surprised.

"Director Li, this is Comrade Qian Shouxing, the deputy mayor of Jiyang City. Mayor Qian is in Beijing this time for work. I heard that you are coming to the Beijing Office to guide the work, and you must show Director Li's style no matter what."

"Director Li, hello. I have heard that a young talent has gone to Jining for a long time. When I saw him today, he was really extraordinary. Director Li has come to Jining, and the people of Jining are blessed." Qian Shouxing is very good at speaking. He originally worked in the Ministry of Transport, and later worked in Jining Province. He was in charge of investment promotion in Jiyang City, so he often went to Beijing. This time Li Wujiang went to work in Jining, and he happened to be in Beijing. He was not familiar with Li Wujiang, but he was surprised when he asked about him. Liu Chunlin, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Transportation, turned out to be Li Wujiang's uncle. Knowing this relationship, Qian Shouxing knew that Li Wujiang was also a powerful person. He had a good relationship with Zhu Hongfan. When Zhu Hongfan told him that Li Wujiang was coming to the appointment, he rushed over immediately.

Li Wujiang was a little surprised. This shouldn't be such a coincidence. "Mayor Qian, you praised me so much in front of my old colleagues. Be careful that I will be proud." Li Wujiang said with a smile.

The group entered the Beijing Office with laughter and chatter. Zhu Hongfan asked Li Wujiang to say a few words to the comrades in the Beijing Office, but Li Wujiang refused. He would eat when he should eat, but he would never say what he shouldn't say.

"Brother Wujiang, when will you return to Huayuan Province? The comrades in Huayuan are looking forward to your return to Huayuan." Everyone was eating and drinking at the table. Halfway through the drink, Bai Xiaomei asked.

Li Wujiang still has deep feelings for Huayuan, which is his hometown and where he started. However, it will be difficult for him to return to Huayuan after he leaves. "Sister Xiaomei, Huayuan Province is my hometown, and I miss it. However, Huayuan Province is a place with outstanding people and talents. I believe that under the leadership of Secretary Huang and Governor Chu, Huayuan's economy will get better and better, and the lives of Huayuan people will get better and better."

"After you left, Secretary Huang and Secretary Su often talked about you at the conference, saying that Comrade Li Wujiang's departure was a great loss to Huayuan. If Comrade Wujiang could stay, Huayuan's development would be further improved."

Bai Xiaomei's words shocked Zhu Hongfan and Qian Shouxing. Li Wujiang was only a deputy mayor in Huayuan Province. He was so concerned about the provincial party secretary and governor, which meant that Li Wujiang was definitely a powerful figure in Huayuan Province.

"Sister Xiaomei, please stop bragging about me. I will brag about it. Huayuan has done a good job because of the good work done by our comrades. Now I am in Jining. Everything starts from scratch. In the future, I will rely on the guidance and support of Director Zhu and Mayor Qian." Li Wujiang also missed his work in Huayuan, but he has no regrets about every step he has taken. Liuhe has entered the top ten counties in Huayuan Province. After the initial pain, Nandu City has achieved great success in enterprise restructuring and investment attraction, and has great development potential.

"Hearing what Director Xiaomei said, I feel that Director Li's arrival in Jining is a blessing for us Jining. From now on, we Jining will embark on the road of rapid development." Zhu Hongfan also said while holding Li Wujiang.

"Director Zhu, please stop praising me. Jining's development still depends on Mayor Qian and doers like you. I just run errands and do odd jobs for the leaders. Jiyang City is the provincial capital of Jining , is the most important town in Jining's economic development. The development of Jining depends on Jiyang City. Mayor Qian is also in charge of investment promotion in Jiyang City, so the development of Jining depends on Mayor Qian. As a bridgehead for attracting investment, it depends on Director Zhu to keep moving forward.”

Li Wujiang's words showed the pattern and level, and Zhu Hongfan and Qian Shouxing were overjoyed to hear it.

"Director Li, I heard that you are in charge of attracting investment in Huayuan Province and are very prosperous. If you have any secrets, you can teach us some." Qian Shouxing asked.

"Mayor Qian, those of us who are engaged in investment promotion work all know that there is no secret to investment promotion work, that is, we need to work hard, work hard, work quickly, and work skillfully. Improve and improve the long-term mechanism for investment promotion and enterprise service, and establish an attractive and complete policy Supporting the system, providing all-round, multi-angle, and in-depth services to attract investment companies, creating a strong atmosphere of “pro-business, business safety, and wealthy businessmen”, and creating a city with the best open business environment. These are common topics discussed by Li Wujiang. It's just a light touch.

Since this was the first time for everyone to meet each other during this dinner, we didn’t talk in depth, just a quick glance.

When leaving, Qian Shouxing did not drive a vehicle and took Li Wujiang for a ride.

"Director Li, Mingyuan and you have a good relationship."

Qian Shouxing suddenly asked about Mingyuan. Li Wujiang didn't think of Mingyuan for a while, but after being reminded, he thought it was Xu Mingyuan, his old classmate from the Ministry of Communications. "Brother Xu, Brother Xu, we had a good time at the cadre academy. When we were in Beijing, we often went out together. Mayor Qian, the Ministry of Transportation is a good place. Why did you think of going to Jining to take a job for training?" There were no other outsiders at this time, so Li Wujiang spoke casually.

Chapter 372 Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle

"Director Li, I have no choice but to do this. You are also aware of things in the capital. Every year, each unit has its quota for subordinates. I am getting older. If you don't go down there, you won't be able to solve your personal problems in the capital. Go down. It is both an opportunity and a kind of training. "Qian Shouxing knew that Li Wujiang was an expert, and he would not tell lies in front of an expert.

"Brother Qian, what you say is so modest. Only outstanding talents will be sent to local governments by state agencies and ministries, and they will be used as reserve cadres in the next step."

Qian Shouxing said with a wry smile, "Brother Wujiang, although it's our first time meeting you, it's like I've met a confidant. To tell you the truth, I guess you also found out about Ji Ning's condition during your visit. Probably. People all over the country are seeking development. Jining’s previous leaders were obsessed with fighting, and no one was doing their job. They only wanted to fight for power, and they often traveled on business, out of sight and out of mind.”

"The situation in Jiyang City should be better. Jiyang City has established enterprises like Jining Heavy Industry and its economic foundation is relatively good. I think Secretary Lu also attaches great importance to economic development."

"Jining has a serious clique phenomenon and is quite exclusive. It is difficult for cadres from other places to integrate. Although local companies are pretty good at the moment, we can all see that both Jining Province and Jiyang City are resting on their laurels. Jining The province has developed its petrochemical industry relying on its oil resources, but resource-based industries are subject to resource conditions. With the depletion of resources and the rise of new energy sources, the petrochemical industry will sooner or later become passive if it does not transform, upgrade, and explore new ideas. Yang City also relies on the foundation of the old industrial base. At that time, the country concentrated on establishing a large number of heavy industry enterprises in Jiyang. Now many enterprises have not kept up with the pace of the times. Their equipment is backward and their technology cannot be continuously updated. In the torrent of the market, It will be a matter of time before he is eliminated." Qian Shouxing drank some wine. He was also a talkative person, and he was a cadre in the capital, so he spoke very boldly.

Li Wujiang did not expect that Qian Shouxing had a strong sense of market economy and immediately grasped the problem of Jiyang City. It seems that there are talents in Jiyang City.

"Brother Wujiang, do you think I have a chance to meet Secretary Li?" Qian Shouxing's sudden change of words made Li Wujiang feel cold. Qian Shouxing is already forty-six-seven years old, and it is already difficult for him to return to the Ministry of Communications as a full-time department-level cadre. He now hopes to take the opportunity of Li Weiguo's visit to Jining to give it a try. Maybe if he gives it a try, he can still serve as a full-time official in Jining, or even go further.

Li Wujiang thought for a while, it was not up to him whether he could see Li Weiguo or not. But Qian Shouxing is not bad, and it would be good if he could create an opportunity for others.

"Brother Qian, Secretary Li has recently been very interested in the transformation and upgrading of the old industrial base in Jiyang City. How to revive the old industrial base in Jiyang City is a topic that the provincial party committee has been studying recently." Li Wujiang did not say that he could. Can't see Li Weiguo. But he gave a way. Just like what he and Cao Louming said, he couldn't promise anything. He could only create opportunities for these people. Whether they could seize them or not depended on their luck. Of course, he didn't think that Li Weiguo would complain about him or send people to him in the future. As a secretary, he has the obligation and responsibility to recommend talents to Li Weiguo. How to use these people depends on Li Weiguo's wishes.

Qian Shouxing was also an old official, and he immediately understood what Li Wujiang meant. The opportunity was before him. He held Li Wujiang's hands with excitement and said, "Brother Wujiang, thank you so much. You make me don't know what to say."

"Brother Qian, you and I just need to remember that we all serve Secretary Li, work for the people, and think about the development of Jining."

In the remaining two days, Li Wujiang concentrated on spending time with his children at home. The family was harmonious and happy.

On the plane, Li Wujiang confessed to Li Weiguo that Zhu Hongfan invited him to sit at the Beijing Office. There are some things that Li Weiguo will know even if he doesn't tell them. It's better to tell them himself in case there is any grudge between the two parties.

"Wujiang, don't take it to heart, it's not a big deal. As my secretary, many people will invite you in the future. You have to remember what kind of occasions you should go to and what kind of occasions you shouldn't go to. What kind of occasions should you go to? What kind of people are worth dating? Don't be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives. Of course, you can also meet some cadres who are worth dating. The job of a secretary is not just to run errands for the leader. , It is also the leader’s clairvoyance, seeing some talents and affairs that the leader cannot see,” Li Wei Guoyu said earnestly.

"Okay, Secretary Li, I understand what you said. During this meeting, I met Comrade Qian Shouxing from Jiyang City." Li Wujiang followed Li Weiguo's words and pushed Qian Shouxing out.

"Jiyang Qian Shouxing?" Li Weiguo generally had no impression of this kind of department-level cadres who were not in charge of actual duties.

Li Wujiang simply reported Qian Shouxing's situation to Li Weiguo.

"Oh, there are still cadres in the ministries and commissions in Jining? They are comrades from the Ministry of Transport, not bad. They are in charge of investment promotion work and have ideas for the reform and development of old industrial bases. Such cadres are worth learning from. Without borders, comrades in the ministries and commissions all know that Ji Ning is a cadre. Considering the development of Jining, the cadres of Jining should do this. I think that after returning to Jining, you can arrange a time for me to meet these temporary cadres and thank them for their support of Jining's work. I came to the capital, so I have a good impression of these cadres who came to the capital.

"Wujiang, when it comes to investment promotion work, you are the director of investment promotion in Huayuan Province. You worked hard and achieved good results in the investment promotion work back then, so I brought you to Jilin from Huayuan Province. Ning, Secretary Huang has been complaining for a long time. Ji Ning has been relying on the advantages of the old industrial base and has been resting on its laurels. The investment promotion work is not ideal. As a veteran of the investment promotion work, what do you think? "Li Weiguo took advantage of the plane. During the time, I chatted with Li Wujiang.

"Secretary Li, I can't be called a veteran. I just started attracting investment earlier. The foundation of Jining Province is better than that of Huayuan Province. It has rich mineral resources, a good industrial foundation, equipment manufacturing and raw materials. The industry is relatively developed, with a large number of skilled workers, and it is one of my country's important old industrial bases. It has complete infrastructure and convenient transportation. It has a good foundation for the development of social undertakings such as science and technology, education, culture, and sports. In the history of my country's industrial development, Jilin has Ninglao Industrial Base has played an important role and is known as the eldest son of the Republic. However, with the development of society, institutional and structural contradictions have become increasingly apparent. Energy resources are facing depletion, water shortages, aging industrial products, and heavy industry energy consumption. , the pollution is serious, the equipment and technology of enterprises in Jining’s old industrial base are aging, their competitiveness has declined, and employment conflicts have become prominent.”

Chapter 373 Good steel should be used on the blade

Li Wujiang watched Li Weiguo nod from time to time, and continued, "The key to Jining's development lies in the ideological style of cadres. Only by changing the cadres' ideological concepts, work styles, and improving service awareness can it help Jining's next economic development. Jining belongs to As part of the Northeast, we can advocate to our superiors to revitalize the Northeast's old industrial bases, increase institutional innovation, accelerate the industrial upgrading and transformation of the old industrial bases, and continuously consolidate and enhance the country's most important commodity grain production base, important forestry base, energy raw material base, The status and functions of the machinery industry and pharmaceutical industry base. Optimize the economic structure, establish a modern industrial system, accelerate corporate mergers and reorganizations, optimize resource allocation, vigorously develop the non-public economy and small and medium-sized enterprises, create a fair environment, and implement the plan for the adjustment and revitalization of key industries. Strengthen structural adjustment, actively cultivate potential industries, accelerate the development of modern service industries, comprehensively improve independent innovation capabilities, accelerate the development of modern agriculture, consolidate the basic status of agriculture and the construction of rural basic conditions, actively promote the transformation of resource-based cities, and promote sustainable development. "

Li Weiguo fell into deep thought after listening to Li Wujiang's words. He spoke for a long time, "Wujiang, it seems that Secretary Huang's idea is correct. Putting you in the position of secretary is really overqualified. If you are now in charge of a prefectural or municipal work or chief By focusing on the province’s investment promotion work, I believe Jining Province will usher in a new situation.”

"Secretary Li, please don't say that. Jining also has many cadres who are good at economics. Now that I am with Secretary Li, I can learn a lot of things that I couldn't learn or see before. At least in terms of vision and structure. The aspect is greatly opened.”

"You're a kid who knows how to coax me. Don't worry, I won't keep you longer. When the situation in Jining Province improves, you'd better focus on the economy. Good steel must be used on the blade."

It was already dark when he returned to Jining. When he sent Li Weiguo back, Li Wujiang went straight back to his residence. He didn't expect to run into Chen Yingying downstairs.

"Miss Chen, why are you here?" Li Wujiang asked in surprise.

"Brother Li, where have you been? I've been waiting for you here for several days." Chen Yingying said excitedly when she saw Li Wujiang.

"I just came back from a business trip. Let's go home."

It was still a bit cold in the Northeast at night. Seeing Chen Yingying shivering, Li Wujiang quickly made her a cup of hot tea.

"You girl, why are you standing downstairs waiting in such a cold weather? What time is it already? If you don't go back, your parents won't worry."

"I'm an adult now, what do parents have to worry about? Brother Li, are you the secretary of the provincial party committee?"

Li Wujiang was stunned, he didn't tell Chen Yingying his identity, how did this girl know. "Yes, how did you girl know that?"

"I can't believe that you are the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary at such a young age. You live in the Provincial Party Committee Family Courtyard and in a department and bureau-level building. Your name has now spread all over Jining. I will know after a little inquiry. ”

"What you said is a bit exaggerated. I'm just a little secretary. How could I alert everyone? No, the Provincial Party Committee's Family Court is very strict. How did you get in?"

"Hey, I also live in the Provincial Party Committee Family Home."

"You also work for the Provincial Party Committee? Why haven't I seen you? Which department do you work in?"

"Brother Li, you are too nosy. You ask so many questions at once, which one should I answer? I haven't graduated yet, and I haven't joined the workforce yet. It's just that I am a family member of the provincial party committee. Isn't this allowed?"

"No way, which provincial party committee leader has such a beautiful girl? That is really the happiness of this family."

When Chen Yingying heard Li Wujiang compliment her on her beauty, she immediately beamed. "you guess?"

Li Wujiang said jokingly, "I can't guess this. I've only been in Jining for a few days, and I don't know most of the leaders. If I have to name anyone named Chen, I only know Governor Chen Baojia."

Seeing Chen Yingying blinking, Li Wujiang was very surprised. Could it be that he had guessed correctly. "Are you really Governor Chen's daughter?"

Seeing Li Wujiang's jaw drop, Chen Yingying smiled and said, "If it's fake, this won't scare you."

"It's not that it's scary, but it's too surprising. How can you not be surprised when you meet the governor's daughter on the street casually? You girl haven't graduated yet, why don't you go to school?"

"I'm in the second semester of my senior year. I'm preparing for an internship. I'll graduate soon."

"Okay, being young is good. Why did you come to see me today?"

"I can't come and play with you if I have nothing to do. You are the most popular person in Jining and the youngest department-level cadre in Jining. Many people want to meet you. I'm here to see it for them."

"You girl, you know how to tease me. Come on, I just got off the plane and haven't had dinner yet. Let's go have something together."

"Yingying, is your hometown Jining's?"

"Our hometown is not from Jining, but from Huayuan, but we came out earlier."

Li Wujiang was stunned when he heard that Chen Bao's family actually belonged to Huayuan, and he didn't even notice. "Yingying, it seems that I am meeting an old friend in a foreign country, and I am in tears when I meet a fellow villager."

"Brother Li, aren't you from the capital? Why is your hometown also from Huayuan?"

"I am a native of Huayuan. I was transferred from Huayuan to work in Jining. I will definitely visit Governor Chen when I have the opportunity to express my friendship with my fellow countrymen."

"Okay, you are always welcome. Brother Li, can I have a drink with you tonight?"

"Yingying, you're a girl. Why do you drink so much wine at night? You're not afraid of danger. Let's just have some hot noodle soup tonight."

The two of them couldn't stop chatting as they talked about each other. It wasn't until Li Wujiang sent Chen Yingying to the Provincial Committee Standing Committee Family Home and watched Chen Yingying go in that he left. I really didn't expect that Li Weiguo had just been sent to the Provincial Committee Standing Committee's Family Home, and now he was sending another one. Li Wujiang has studied the Chen Bao family. He was transferred to Jining from another province. His style in Jining Province was quite decent and he was not involved with that faction. Precisely because he did not have a mountain top, his work in Jining was not smooth.
