The pursuit of a position in officialdom

"Who?" Li Wujiang had indeed never heard of Lu Jixiang, so he didn't react for a while.

"Lu Jixiang, the son of Secretary Lu Wenming, was involved in a traffic accident while racing on Guangkai Avenue at around nine o'clock last night. He died after ineffective rescue efforts."

Li Wujiang felt that this was a bit nonsense. What did Lu Wenming's son have to do with him? So many people died every day. Even if he was the son of the municipal party committee secretary, this was not his concern. However, Li Wujiang's political acumen is still relatively high. Since Ma Fuxian told him, it must have a purpose. "Oh, Sister Ma, was anyone else dead on the spot?"

"Wujiang, five cars collided at the scene, three people died on the spot, and three others died due to ineffective rescue efforts."

So many people died at once, and there was also the son of the municipal party committee secretary. It will probably become breaking news again at dawn tomorrow. In Jining Province, the house is leaking and it rains all night long. It is not easy to really do anything.

"Okay, Sister Ma, I know, thank you for your hard work. If anything happens, we will continue to communicate." Li Wujiang thought that Ma Fuxian had finished speaking and was about to hang up.

Unexpectedly, Ma Fuxian hurriedly said, "Wujiang, there is another matter. I don't know if I should report it to you."

"Sister Ma, what is our relationship? If anything happens, just tell me."

"Lu Jixiang drives a sports car, worth millions of dollars, and it is in his own name."

Li Wujiang felt that the news was a bit exciting. At that time, with only a small salary, Lu Jixiang could drive a sports car worth a million yuan. This was too high-profile, and it was a death-defying rhythm. This news is so important. "Sister Ma, is this news accurate?"

"Wujiang, I have verified all this information."

"Okay, Sister Ma, the information you provided is so important. You should continue to follow up on the follow-up situation, especially ask the personnel handling the accident to keep relevant photos and physical evidence at the scene, and make records of relevant witnesses."

"Don't worry about this. It's such a big case. Our police will definitely do a good job in collecting evidence. Then I won't disturb your rest."

After hanging up the phone from Ma Fuxian, Li Wujiang lost all sleepiness. Lu Jixiang's incident is a big deal, and it might become the straw that breaks the camel's back. How can a municipal party committee secretary afford such an expensive sports car? If this is exposed, it will be a devastating blow to a leader's political career.

Qian Shouxing also opened another room in Lan Kwai Fong. Li Wujiang knocked on his door. At this moment, Qian Shouxing was still asleep and staring. When Li Wujiang finished explaining Lu Jixiang's situation, Qian Shouxing was completely excited. He knew this was an opportunity.

"Wujiang, what do you think we should do next?"

"Mayor Qian, this matter is expected to ferment in the next two days. Let's not add fuel to the flames, but wait and see what happens."

When Qian Shouxing saw what Li Wujiang said, he couldn't understand it. "Wujiang, why don't we do something at this time?"

Chapter 433 Strict control of public opinion and rectification movement

"Secretary Lu is definitely not interested in working during this period. I suggest you take advantage of this time to do a good job in Jiyang City's work. At the same time, do a good job in studying and judging relevant public opinions, and don't let this matter affect the overall development of Jiyang City." Li Wujiang I'm worried that Qian Shouxing is a little too anxious and deliberately guides public opinion, which will ultimately affect not only Lu Civilization, but also Jiyang's hard-won development. This is not good. As a friend, that's all Li Wujiang can say.

Early in the morning, Li Wujiang rushed to the Family Court of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee. Li Wujiang was waiting for him at Li Weiguo's home. In his heart, Li Weiguo did not completely regard Li Wujiang as his secretary, and he did not want Li Wujiang to work too hard. So he told Li Wujiang that he didn't need to pick him up at home if nothing happened.

"Wujiang, have you had breakfast? No, come sit down and eat together."

"Secretary Li, I already ate on the way here."

"Wujiang, is there anything going on today?"

Li Wujiang originally wanted to wait until Li Weiguo finished eating before talking, but when Li Weiguo asked, Li Wujiang told him about Lu Jixiang.

After hearing this, Li Weiguo first sighed, then thought for a while and asked, "How old is Secretary Lu's son this year?"

"I am only twenty-two years old this year. Secretary Lu has a son from old age, and he loves this son very much."

"You will go to the hospital to express my condolences on my behalf later. In addition, you tell Secretary-General Miao that they must restrain the people below, work in peace and order, and not talk nonsense. In addition, ask him to arrange personnel to assist Secretary Lu in organizing the funeral. "

When Li Wujiang arrived at the hospital, Miao Chengyi had already rushed to the hospital. When he saw Lu Wenming again, Li Wujiang felt that Lu Wenming had suddenly aged a lot, and his hair had turned a lot gray overnight. A white-haired person gives a black-haired person a gift. This is the saddest thing in the world.

"Secretary Lu, please express my condolences. Secretary Li asked me to convey my greetings to you."

Lu Wenming just nodded and said nothing to Li Wujiang.

Seeing this situation, Li Wujiang stayed for a while before leaving. Miao Chengyi also wanted to leave at this time, so he and Li Wujiang accompanied him.

"Wujiang, does Secretary Li have anything to explain?"

"Secretary-General, Secretary Li said two things. First, he hopes that the general office will help handle the affairs of Secretary Lu's family. I wonder if Director Yanzhao can be specially asked to handle this matter; second, he hopes to further discipline everyone. I hope everyone will not believe or spread rumors.”

"Did Secretary Li really say this?" Miao Chengyi suddenly asked.

Li Wujiang certainly knew what Miao Chengyi was thinking. Miao Chengyi and the others must have thought that this was an opportunity for Li Weiguo to fight back, so how could they give up so easily? It seems that Miao Chengyi's vision is still not big enough. Li Wujiang smiled and said, "Secretary-General, of course it is true."

"Okay, very good. The first meaning is to do as you said. The second meaning is that you ask the Supervision Department to urge everyone to continue to carry out the work style rectification activities in depth."

Although the Provincial Party Committee Office has issued a ban, everyone is still spreading the news privately, but they are not as bold as before to discuss it publicly. It is already very good to control public opinion to this extent.

Three or four days have passed since the incident, and everyone thought that this was the end of it. However, the result of the incident did not develop in a good direction as Li Wujiang expected. In this traffic accident, not only did Lu Wenming's son die, but four other people died and three people were seriously injured. Two of the dead were passing vehicles that were hit by Lu Jixiang's vehicle. Lu Wenming wanted to keep a low profile on the matter, but the families of the other dead and injured did not think so. After they learned of Lu Jixiang's identity, they exposed it to the media. One after another, short essays were exposed like mushrooms after rain.

"These shameless people are so daring to write nonsense." Yan Ming was very angry. These articles were written to put people to death.

"Secretary Yan, this is not the time to be angry. Secretary Lu is still at home dealing with the loss and has no intention of taking care of this matter; on the other hand, the incident involves him personally, and it is not convenient for him to come forward. Should we take some measures?" Miao Chengyi was still very calm at this time.

"Old Miao, is there someone fanning the flames in this matter and wanting to take the opportunity to make trouble?" Yan Ming said vigilantly.

"Secretary Yan, it's hard to say now. However, the families of several victims are indeed making trouble. Now someone is complaining to the provincial party committee and threatening to report to Beijing."

"Does this have anything to do with the person above?"

Miao Chengyi certainly knew who he was talking about, "It shouldn't be. When the incident happened, he asked Comrade Wujiang to tell the comrades in the General Office not to spread rumors or believe in rumors."

"So, didn't you ask me how to deal with this matter just now? Now you report this matter to Secretary Li and see how he arranges it." Yan Ming wanted to see if this was Li Weiguo's move.

Miao Chengyi also understood Yan Ming's meaning and reported directly to Li Weiguo.

"These people are really afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Secretary Lu is also a father and is now in grief. How can he publish such articles everywhere?"

"Yes, Secretary Li. Secretary Lu is still in grief and has no intention to deal with this matter. Shouldn't our provincial party committee take care of it? If we don't care about it, let such things spread everywhere, which will not only affect the image of our provincial party committee, but also affect the development of Jiyang."

"What the secretary general said makes sense. Jiyang City has just achieved fruitful results in attracting investment, so how could it encounter such a thing. I think you should communicate with Minister Hai, the Minister of Propaganda, and ask him to manage these newspapers and media well, and not publish any articles randomly. In addition, let the Jiyang Municipal Party Committee arrange personnel to talk to the families of the victims to see what the other party thinks and try to minimize the impact of the matter."

Miao Chengyi saw that what Li Weiguo said did not seem to be false, and even said two good words and went out.

In order to divert everyone's attention, Baoquan City's anti-gang and anti-evil activities have further accelerated their actions. Nearly half of the members of the municipal party committee and municipal government team were implicated. Jin Hao, the mayor, the executive vice mayor, the head of the organization department and others have been taken away by the comrades of the Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation.

Wang Kuisheng called Li Wujiang many times to say that the current work of Baoquan City could not be carried out at all. There were too many people implicated. The people who were not called for talks were also panicked. Everyone could not work at ease, so that all work could not operate normally. Li Wujiang certainly understood Wang Kuisheng's difficulties, but Baoquan City is now in the most difficult time. The more difficult the time, the more it shows the responsibility of cadres. Li Wujiang told Wang Kuisheng that his current important task is to stabilize the situation in Baoquan City in time. Others are in chaos, but he cannot be chaotic. He must show his responsibility at the most critical moment, so that he can stand out.

Chapter 434: The slightest movement, organization and personnel

Wang Kuisheng certainly understood what Li Wujiang meant. He called Li Wujiang on the one hand to complain to Li Wujiang, and on the other hand, he hoped that Li Wujiang would convey his role at this time to Li Weiguo.

At this time, Xu Changxia came to Li Wujiang's office. Li Wujiang hung up the phone.

"Minister Xu, you're here. Secretary Li has guests in his office right now. Please wait here for a while."

"Okay. Wujiang, Secretary Li asked us to prepare a list of all the deputy department-level and above cadres in the province. Is there any big move from the provincial party committee?" Xu Changxia asked curiously.

Li Wujiang smiled and said, "Minister Xu, you are the leader of the organization department, and you are in charge of everyone's official hats. If there is any movement from the provincial party committee, you will be the first to know."

"That's hard to say. You are the most informed place. But personnel adjustments are indeed needed below. Secretary Li has not made any major moves since he came to Jining. Now more than half of the members of Baoquan City's team are missing. The secretary and mayor of Suiyuan have been vacant since they were dismissed. There are vacancies in several other cities and provincial units."

Xu Changxia was right in one point. Li Wujiang's place was a center for information distribution. Because of his special status, everyone was willing to communicate with him, and through communication, information was transmitted to each other. "Then you, Minister Xu, will be busy again. The assessment and screening of cadres is your main task."

"No way, we just eat this bowl of rice. By the way, Wujiang, Minister Wen and I have an appointment this weekend. She was very happy to hear that you were coming."

Li Wujiang smiled bitterly, always feeling like a pimp now. All kinds of cadres have to go through his hands. "Okay, then I have to dress in advance, so as not to embarrass us Jining."

As the two were chatting, the head of the Department of Agriculture came out of Li Weiguo's office, chatted with Li Wujiang and Xu Changxia for a few words, and then left. Li Wujiang asked Xu Changxia to wait for a while and went in to pack up.

Xu Changxia stayed in for a long time, a full half an hour. Li Wujiang believes that the content of the conversation between Li Weiguo and Xu Changxia is definitely not limited to the list of deputy department-level cadres, and even talked about Xu Changxia's future work arrangements.

Because after Xu Changxia came out, Li Wujiang saw that she was full of joy. It seems that Xu Changxia's good things are coming.

Dong Jie's father was acquitted, and Dong Jie was very grateful to Li Wujiang. However, his father had major physical problems due to the torture of Wan Baobao in the early stage, and he suffered in prison for these years. Now part of the property occupied by the Wan family has been returned to them. These properties need Dong Jie to take care of. So before returning to Baoquan, Dong Jie came to say goodbye to Li Wujiang.

"Brother Li, I don't know how to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here now. I will repay you in the future." Dong Jie cried with joy.

"Xiao Jie, please don't say that. I didn't help. Your family was wronged in the first place, and you will be vindicated sooner or later. It's just that I happened to be in Jining."

"Brother Li, you don't have to comfort me. I know that without you, the Wan family would not have been overthrown so quickly. Even if it was overthrown, our family's property might not be recovered."

Dong Jie said this truth. If other leaders were in charge of this matter, the Dong family's property might not be recovered. "Okay, since your oil mines have been returned to you, you should run them well after you go back. The Wan family has caused so many problems in the early stage, and the oil mines may face suspension of production and rectification. After you go back, carry out the rectification seriously. After the rectification is thoroughly completed, I will say hello to Baoquan City and let you continue to operate."

"Thank you, Brother Li. But I won't be able to see you often when I return to Baoquan City this time." Dong Jie said as she threw herself into Li Wujiang's arms.

Li Wujiang patted her from behind and said, "Silly girl, everyone is in Jining, it's not easy to meet. The most important thing for you now is to go back and cure your father's injury first."

Li Wujiang has been traveling to and from Beijing quite frequently recently. This time he accompanied Cao Minglou and Xu Changxia back to Beijing. Before leaving, he specifically explained the situation to Li Weiguo. Li Weiguo nodded, indicating that he understood.

After arriving in Beijing, Li Wujiang did not arrange for comrades from the Beijing Office to pick him up at the airport, but asked Fang Shuxin to arrange a driver to greet him. He was worried that the comrades from the Beijing Office would have wild thoughts when they saw Xu Changxia and Cao Minglou both coming to Beijing. That would disturb Li Weiguo's layout. Of course, Fang Shuxin also arranged the hotel in advance.

In the evening, Li Wujiang specially entertained the two people. In order to show his respect for the two, Li Wujiang specially invited Wang Shaohong and Shao Jun and his wife. Shao Jun also happened to return to Beijing to report on his work, and everyone happened to get together for a meal. Since Shao Jun was also an acquaintance, everyone ate and drank very casually.

"Wujiang, I'm sorry to have you spend money today. We arranged such a high-end place." Xu Changxia looked at the dining place in Beijing. Compared with Jining, it was really a world of difference.

"Minister Xu, don't be polite. Wujiang is a local tyrant in Beijing. Today we are specifically targeting local tyrants. Eat and drink as you should. Don't save him money." Wang Shaohong and Li Wujiang are old acquaintances, so they always like to joke with Li Wujiang.

"That's too embarrassing. Captain Shao, Director Wang, you can go to Jining another day, and I will arrange it." Xu Changxia said.

"Minister Xu, I should arrange it." Cao Minglou also scrambled for it.

"Dear leaders, there is no need to fight for this dinner. Everyone will have a chance in the future. Eat and drink well today."

After returning home in the evening, An An had fallen asleep. Li Wujiang watched him by his bed for more than ten minutes before returning to Fang Shuxin's side.

"Shuxin, you see, I'm either not in Beijing, or I'm out socializing when I'm back. I can't go home to take care of An'an. I'm really ashamed." Li Wujiang was speaking from his heart.

"Wujiang, I understand this. This is how work is now. You either want home and not work, or want work and not home. It has been difficult to be loyal and filial since ancient times. You don't have to blame yourself. You've come back a lot during this period, and I'm also very relieved." Fang Shuxin has become accustomed to this kind of life. She is not in Beijing every day now, and she usually needs to go on business trips.

"Shuxin, I don't know how to repay you. I can only promise you my body." After saying that, Li Wujiang got into bed and set off a layer of red waves with Fang Shuxin.

Li Wujiang asked Xiaowei to drive the car and went to Wenya's residence in person. Li Wujiang had been standing outside waiting for Wenya to come out. Seeing Wenya come out, Li Wujiang trotted all the way and greeted her with a smile.
