The pursuit of a position in officialdom

Ma Fuxian called Cheng Zhigang's name, and Cheng Zhigang knew that he couldn't escape this circle. If he wants to get close to Li Wujiang and get Li Wujiang's trust, he needs to help Li Wujiang destroy the smuggling activities in Dongliang Port. It was time for him to make up his mind. Cheng Zhigang gritted his teeth and said, "Director Ma, Mayor Li, I was transferred to Binzhou from the provincial department and have been working in Binzhou for three years." Cheng Zhigang mainly wanted to ask Li Wujiang explained his situation and told Li Wujiang that he was not a local cadre in Binzhou and that what happened in Binzhou had nothing to do with him. "In the past few years of working in Binzhou, I have heard more or less about Dongliang Port. Dongliang Port has conducted trade and maritime transportation with enterprises before. Since five years ago, Binzhou established a Changsheng Trading Company , the boss behind the scenes was Lin Zhijiang, and Dongliang Port suddenly became the dominant company of Changsheng Trading Company. Our Binzhou City Public Security Bureau also received reports from some people that there was smuggling in Dongliang Port, but every time we investigated, we failed. "

"Oh, so the Binzhou City Public Security Bureau has not really discovered the existence of smuggling activities in Dongliang Port these years?"

"That's not the case. We captured some smugglers, but these were just gangsters. They paid fines and were quickly released," Cheng Zhigang explained.

"Then, has your city's Public Security Bureau taken any measures to deal with the current situation in Dongliang Port?"

Cheng Zhigang scratched his head and said, "Mayor Li, Secretary Yang has the final say in matters concerning the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He clearly instructed us that if there is a problem in Dongliang Port, we must deal with it seriously; if there is no problem in Dongliang Port, we should not disturb the development of the enterprise. In addition, Dongliang Port is under the jurisdiction of Dongliang County, and the specific situation is handled by Dongliang County, so the Municipal Public Security Bureau has not taken effective measures against Dongliang Port in recent years.”

Of course, Li Wujiang understood what Cheng Zhigang meant, that is, someone at the Municipal Public Security Bureau prevented him from investigating and handling these matters. It seems that as Ge Jiande said, it is not easy to check Dongliang Port.

"Wujiang, you don't have to worry. Smuggling is a long-term activity that involves all aspects of cargo transportation and sales. It is not difficult to investigate and deal with it if you want to make up your mind. But don't be in a hurry." Ma Fuxian advised.

At this time, Cao Minglou called and said he had arrived downstairs. Li Wujiang and the others just ended their conversation. Li Wujiang and Cheng Zhigang were going to pick up Cao Minglou, but Ma Fuxian said that they were all their own people and there was no need. But Li Wujiang still insisted on picking up Cao Minglou.

Cao Minglou didn't come alone, but brought Lu Haoran with him.

"Secretary-General, I haven't seen you for a few days. You are getting younger and more energetic." Of course Li Wujiang was telling the truth. Cao Minglou stepped from the department level to the deputy ministerial standing committee member. This is a big step. If your official career is prosperous, your spirit will naturally be good.

"Wujiang, you still know how to speak, unlike Lao Ma who always despises me for being old." Cao Minglou said with a smile.

"Director Haoran is here too." Li Wujiang was very happy to see Lu Haoran coming. After all, Lu Haoran was the person he personally selected.

"Mayor Li, you have been promoted. The comrades in the General Affairs Office miss you very much and want to hold a farewell party for you."

Chapter 467 The port is the breakthrough point, clearing the obstacles

"There is no need for a farewell party. If you have time these days, invite everyone out and let's get together. I would also like to thank everyone for your support and care over the past year." With that, Li Wujiang accompanied Cao Minglou and walked in Private room.

"Wujiang, now that I am working next to the leader, I realize how difficult your job was back then. Haoran must have understood it deeply. You have just been gone for more than a week, and Secretary Li is still looking for you."

Li Wujiang said awkwardly, "Secretary-General, you are praising me. With you at the helm of the Provincial Party Committee's General Office, the direction will not be wrong. Coupled with the help of Haoran, a talented man from Beijing University, I believe in the work of the General Office It will get better and better.”

"Come on, Wujiang, let's talk and drink. First of all, I propose a drink. Congratulations on Wujiang's promotion. Of course, I also hope that Wujiang can make great achievements in Binzhou. At the beginning, Secretary Li said that Wujiang was a talentless person in the Provincial Party Committee Office and could only go to the local area. Only by using your talents can you realize greater value. I think Wujiang is full of talents, and they can bring new atmosphere wherever they go.”

Cheng Zhigang saw that a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee of Cao Minglou praised Li Wujiang so much. It seemed that Li Wujiang was very capable. If he hugged Li Wujiang's thigh tightly, it would not be difficult for him to take a step further in the future.

We had a great time eating and drinking that night. Li Wujiang had almost drunk at night. Ma Fuxian originally wanted to arrange for someone to send him off, but he refused. Cheng Zhigang accompanied Li Wujiang for a while.

"Director Zhigang, your family also belongs to Jiyang?"

"Yes, Mayor Li. My hometown is Jiyang. I have been working in Jiyang in the early years, and later I was transferred to Binzhou because of work needs. But my family still stays in Jiyang."

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Zhigang. The separation between these two places will affect your life as a couple."

"I have been working in the public security agency for a long time. I leave early and come back late every day. There is no day or night. We have long been used to this kind of life. However, we owe something to our children. When the children grow up, they have less care." Cheng Zhigang also had more tonight. After drinking a few glasses of wine, I said so many words.

"The people's police are the guardians of the people. It is indeed harder than ordinary people to eliminate violence and protect the peace of a place. Of course, since you have done this job, you must always have a determination to fight crime and serve the people wholeheartedly. This is the only way , so that you can feel confident.”

"Mayor Li, you are right. Today you mentioned the Dongliang Port incident, and I feel very ashamed. As leaders of the local public security bureau, we have failed to perform our duties. We are ashamed of the clothes we are wearing. Clothes, I am ashamed of the people’s entrustment.”

"Director Zhigang, don't be so frustrated and take all the responsibilities on yourself. I know that smuggling in Dongliang Port involves the interests of all parties, and there are profound reasons behind it. But as cadres appointed by the organization, as cadres convinced by the people , We have no reason to allow these illegal and criminal activities to be so rampant under our noses. We have the responsibility and obligation to clean up this mess and bring peace to Binzhou."

Cheng Zhigang was very excited after hearing what Li Wujiang said. At this moment, he had made up his mind to follow Li Wujiang to the end. "Mayor Li, give the order. I will do whatever you arrange."

"Director Zhigang, you have this determination, which shows that you are still a good cadre with a clear conscience. Of course, the problem of Dongliang Port cannot be solved overnight, and it is impossible to put all the burden on you. I hope you can arrange trustworthy police officers Find out the specific situation of Dongliang Port. If necessary, I will assist you with the relevant personnel of the provincial department. You must start with the current business situation, cargo transportation situation, cargo sales situation, etc. of Dongliang Port to find out every link by then. If we don't move, we must move thoroughly. Of course, you must also be vigilant. Since the smuggling gang has been running rampant in Binzhou for so many years, it means that they have a deep backing. I will try to distract them. You have to be careful behind the scenes, I believe you will be less stressed."

"Mayor Li, I will definitely remember what you said. If anything happens, I will report to you as soon as possible."

Although Li Wujiang was transferred away from the Provincial Party Committee, he still kept the house in the Provincial Committee Family Courtyard. After taking over as the director, Yao Honglan was very good at dealing with things. Knowing that Li Wujiang was alone in Jining, she even specially arranged for someone to clean Li Wujiang's room regularly. Lying in bed, Li Wujiang felt that he had gained a lot today. Taking Cheng Zhigang under his command would help him eliminate the evil forces in Binzhou and clear obstacles for Binzhou's economic development.

This is the first time Li Wujiang has returned to the Provincial Party Committee compound after taking office in Binzhou. Along the way, I met many acquaintances, vying to deal with Li Wujiang.

"Wujiang, you are worthy of coming from the Provincial Party Committee. You are so popular. With such good popularity, we will not worry about the development of Binzhou." Ge Jiande said with a smile. He indeed envied Li Wujiang, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. As a secretary, no one can compare to this kind of treatment.

"Secretary Ge, these old colleagues also think highly of me." Li Wujiang said modestly.

Yao Honglan had been waiting at the door early. When she saw Li Wujiang coming, she greeted Ge Jiande first and then immediately greeted Li Wujiang. The smile on her face was like that of a girl in her twenties. "Mayor Li, welcome back. All the comrades in the General Affairs Department miss you very much." He was still wiping tears, not sure if he was happy or excited.

"Director Honglan, don't be so excited. Now that I have arrived to work in Binzhou City, I may cause trouble for you in the future. Don't find it too troublesome then." Li Wujiang joked.

"Mayor Li, don't worry. As long as I am in the General Office for one day, I will do it immediately if you ask me." Yao Honglan was grateful to Li Wujiang. Without Li Wujiang, she would never have been able to take the position of director of the General Office. Location.

"Wujiang, you are so enviable. Look at Director Honglan when he met you. He looked like a teenager when he met you. He thought he wanted to pursue you without knowing it." Ge Jiande joked next to him.

"Secretary Ge, you are just teasing us. Mayor Li has gone to Binzhou to work, and I hope you will support me more."

"Wujiang, look at the good cadres you have trained. At this time, they have not forgotten to protect you. If I were to put on your shoes in Binzhou, I guess Director Yao would not let me go." Ge Jiande laughed heartily. made a sound.

Lu Haoran invited Li Wujiang to Li Weiguo's office. Li Weiguo saw Li Wujiang and Ge Jiande coming over and stood up in person. In Li Wujiang's eyes, this was a very high salary. Normally, perhaps only members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee would receive such treatment.

Chapter 468 Supporting each other and complementing each other

"Secretary Jiande, Wujiang, you two can sit down. Haoran, make this year's new tea."

Ge Jiande could clearly feel that Li Weiguo treated him and Li Wujiang differently. Li Weiguo called him by official title, but addressed Li Wujiang by his first name, which showed the distance between the two parties.

"The secretary and mayor came together jointly. This is the first time I have encountered this when I work in Jining. This is very good and shows that the team in Binzhou is very united. In a place, only team members support each other, complement each other, and respect each other. Only in this place can a good style of work be formed. This is what we emphasize on changing the work style of cadres, and Binzhou is a good example. Only by uniting, working together, and working together can a good situation be formed."

"What Secretary Li said is that our Binzhou Municipal Party Committee must implement the relevant requirements of the Provincial Party Committee on changing the work style of cadres, further transform the work style of the city's cadres, and focus everyone's thoughts on economic development and serving the people." Ge Jiande quickly expressed his position.

"Okay, Secretary Jiande still has ideas in his work and a sense of the overall situation. Wujiang is relatively young. Although he has ideas and enterprising spirit in his work, he lacks experience after all. Secretary Jiande still needs to be a good squad leader and a top leader. Binzhou is a country with rich resources. A city with a rich history, both culturally and economically, it has once had its glory. I hope you two can support each other and work hard to revive Binzhou's glory and put Binzhou at the forefront of Jining. "Li Weiguo has great expectations for the development of Li Wujiang, and it is also an entrustment to Ge Jiande. He hopes that Ge Jiande can lead the new with the old. With Ge Jiande at the helm, Li Wujiang can boldly pioneer in the front.

Li Weiguo is now very satisfied with Li Wujiang. He was originally worried that Li Wujiang was young and energetic and would fall out with Ge Jiande when he arrived in Binzhou. Unexpectedly, Li Wujiang came so suddenly and took the municipal party committee secretary to report to him. He also corrected his attitude. Ge Jiande reported work to him, and Li Wujiang just echoed behind him. This attitude fully demonstrated the attitude a mayor should have.

"Secretary Li, we will remember your request. This time Mayor Wujiang and I are here to report to you the future development direction of Binzhou." Ge Jiande elaborated on the shipbuilding industry and petrochemical equipment industry, and finally focused on the petrochemical refining industry. gas integration project.

Li Weiguo also became more and more serious as he listened. A large project worth tens of billions was unprecedented for Jining. Such a large project would have a great impact on the economy. "Secretary Jiande, this information is so timely. If Jining can introduce the refining and chemical integration project, it will push Binzhou's economy to a new level. Well, I didn't expect that your new team is still in the running-in period, but Such a big satellite was put in place.”

Ge Jiande said a little embarrassedly, "Secretary Li, this is just the unilateral idea of ​​Mayor Wujiang and I. We haven't reported to the capital yet. I heard that the competition is very fierce now, and we don't have the confidence for such a large project."

Li Weiguo saw that this was the difference between Ge Jiande and Li Wujiang. Ge Jiande is relatively stable and leaves himself a way out when encountering problems. Li Wujiang is different. If he encounters such a situation, he will definitely be full of confidence and try every means to win this project. Li Weiguo glanced at Li Wujiang. He knew that Ge Jiande didn't get this project. Li Wujiang must have found out about it. But this kid has learned to be humble and united, which is good.

"Secretary Jiande, don't worry. As the saying goes, nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are determined. There is no final outcome in Beijing, and there is hope everywhere. As long as we go all out and try our best to find a solution, I believe there is no hard nut that cannot be broken. First of all, I On behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, I fully support Binzhou City in striving for this integrated refining and chemical project. It requires policies from the Provincial Party Committee, land coordination from the Provincial Land Committee, and the intervention of Governor Chen and I, and we will do so in person.”

Ge Jiande felt a little excited when he heard Li Weiguo's support. "Secretary Li, you can rest assured that with the support of the Provincial Party Committee, our Binzhou City will go all out. Mayor Wujiang and I will carefully study the capital's requirements for the integrated refining and chemical project and do our homework to ensure that we can win this project. A battle.”

"Okay, confidence is power. Wujiang, you must cooperate with Secretary Jiande to win this project. Are you confident?"

"Secretary Li, please rest assured. We will mobilize all the power of Binzhou City and mobilize everyone to work together to win this project to Jining no matter what efforts we make."

"Okay, you can report the specific situation to Governor Chen or Governor Miao." Li Weiguo meant to see off the guests.

Ge Jiande and Li Wujiang stood up and left. At this time, Li Weiguo asked Li Wujiang to stay for a while. Ge Jiande took a deep look at Li Wujiang, this was the treatment, and he was filled with envy in his heart.

"Wujiang, you are doing well now, but I was worried that you would be acclimated to the grassroots level. I never thought that in such a short time, we could unite the top leaders and work hard to develop the economy." Li Weiguo said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter who I usually study with. I study with Secretary Li, and of course I learn the essence of your management."

Li Wujiang flattered Li Weiguo very much. "You kid, I don't dare to praise you. But you have done a good job. Only by uniting and looking forward can Binzhou have a better future. Have you verified this integrated training and chemical project with Minister Lu?"

Li Weiguo knew about the relationship between Li Wujiang and Lu Donghui, so Ge ​​Jiande alone could not win such a large project. It also depended on Li Wujiang, so he left Li Wujiang alone.

"Secretary Li, I have contacted Minister Lu's secretary and communicated with him about the relevant situation. I plan to go to Beijing soon to meet Minister Lu, hoping to win his support."

"Okay, you have a good relationship with Minister Lu. You must make full use of it. I will also go to the capital to cheer for Binzhou. But this premise is that your Binzhou must have enough advantages to attract such a large project to settle. Your Binzhou currently has What difficulty?"

Li Wujiang focused on the matter of Dongliang Port. "Secretary Li, the biggest advantage of Binzhou is Dongliang Port, but the biggest problem is also Dongliang Port. If the problem of Dongliang Port is not solved, it will be difficult to introduce an integrated refining and chemical project."

"Okay, Wujiang, it shows that you are not blinded by big projects and can clearly see the difficulty of competition. I am worried that you are too blindly optimistic and end up not winning in the end. This will hit you hard." Li Weiguo said to Li Wujiang The worry does not come from the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but from the concern between friends.

Chapter 469: Combating smuggling and winning support

"Secretary Li, you are right to remind us. In the next stage, we want to use the integrated refining and chemical project to make a difference in Dongliang Port. Only by taking two steps at the same time and grasping it with both hands can we not delay the development opportunity."

"Wujiang, as you said, Dongliang Port is not only a bridgehead for the people of Binzhou City, but also a bridgehead for Jining Province. Opening up Dongliang Port is related to the overall development and layout of Jining Province. Regarding the issue of Dongliang Port, I support Binzhou The city will investigate and deal with it in accordance with the law and will not allow smuggling crimes to run rampant in Binzhou City. If there is any need, the provincial party committee, the provincial government, and the provincial political and legal committee will provide support."

Li Wujiang was also full of confidence in receiving Li Weiguo's support. After Li Wujiang came out, Ge Jiande had already left first, and then Li Wujiang went to Chen Baojia's office to report.

"Wujiang, that's good. Such a big breakthrough has been made in such a short period of time. You as the mayor are better than me as the provincial governor. Look at the development of the entire Jining Province since I took office. By clarifying the direction, you can make a good direction for the development of Binzhou. You have taken a good lead in the development of Jining and solved the urgent needs of me, the governor." Chen Baojia has been the governor for some time. , but the situation in Jining is more complicated. Baoquan and Suiyuan have just had an accident, and Jiyang and other places have just changed generals. Each city is still in the exploratory stage, and he did not expect Li Wujiang to give him such a big gift.

"Governor Chen, you are in charge of the overall situation. As long as you grasp the direction and give a shout, we prefectural and municipal leaders will work hard to move forward. The Binzhou refining and chemical integrated project is still in the upward stage. I hope Governor Chen can vigorously Support us."

"Okay, the provincial government will definitely support Binzhou in pursuing such a large-scale project. Such a large-scale project can not only promote the economic development of Binzhou City, but also boost the spirit of the entire Jining Province. However, such a project involves finance, environmental protection, development and reform , transportation and other aspects, you Binzhou City cannot take it lightly. I suggest that Jining Province and Binzhou City set up a two-level refining and chemical integration project leading group to work together and strive for it.”

"Governor Chen, thank you very much for your support. If the provincial party committee can establish a leading group for the refining and chemical integration project, the level and level will be improved. At this time, if Binzhou City strives to move up, it will show that the leadership attaches importance to it."

"Wujiang, after talking about Binzhou City, you also talk about the situation in Jining. You have clear ideas on economic development, and you also take care of the development of Jining for me."

"Governor Chen, you are looking down on me. I am very stretched in Binzhou City now, and I have no ability to think about the affairs of Jining Province. Only a big leader like you can stand tall and see far into such a big matter. "

"Okay, you kid, don't refuse. Just say what you say. Don't think that you are now the mayor of Binzhou and only care about your own one-third of an acre. When you are a leader, you must have an overall view. You must not only develop Binzhou well, but also have the ability to do so. Investors should also contribute to the development of Jining.”

The Chen Bao family had such a big hat on Li Wujiang and he was helpless. It seemed that he could not escape. "Governor Chen, let me tell you what I said is wrong. Please correct me. Jining is a traditional industrial province in my country, and heavy industry has a certain foundation. If Jining Province wants to develop, it must ask for policies from its superiors. , seeking policy support, project support, financial support, and transportation support from superiors under the banner of revitalizing Northeast China and Jining’s old industrial base. After all, Jining has made great contributions to the construction of our country. Now that Jining is lagging behind, the country should give appropriate support. Finally, we can unite with the other two provinces to bring the revitalization of Northeast China into the national scope. On the other hand, we need to tap internal potential. Jining Province has great potential, which can be said to be full of treasures. The industrial systems of equipment manufacturing, heavy truck, heavy truck, shipbuilding, and petrochemical equipment are relatively complete. Every industry is remarkable and can make a big splash. We need to focus on these industries. Large industries are promoting internal enterprise restructuring, revitalizing corporate resources, and mobilizing the endogenous motivation of enterprises. At the same time, we must focus on attracting investment in these industries. We must suppress investment promotion activities, consolidate them in counties and cities, and supervise them at all levels to form a full-scale investment promotion. , comprehensive investment, business-based investment.”

"Okay, Wujiang, I found you to take the pulse of Jining Province. This is the right person. Now it seems that putting you in Binzhou City is overkill. If you are allowed to work in the Development and Reform Commission and the Investment Promotion Bureau for a few years, maybe Jining The development of Binzhou City will be rapid. But if you go to work in Binzhou City, it will also benefit the local people. I hope you can do your best to promote the development of Binzhou City."

"Governor Chen, I have one more job to report to you. Our Binzhou City wants to make a fuss about petrochemical equipment and shipbuilding Co., Ltd. Just now I reported to you the future ideas of the petrochemical industry. At the same time, Binzhou plans to walk on two legs. Focus on the shipbuilding industry, make Binzhou shipbuilding industry bigger and stronger, revive the glory of the four major manufacturing plants, and build Binzhou shipbuilding industry into a beautiful business card in the country. However, Binzhou Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. is jointly built by the province and the city. Enterprise and personnel management authority lies with the province. We hope that the leaders can give us greater autonomy.”

"Don't beat around the bush like me. Just do what you want to do boldly. We must resolutely win over those who don't change their minds. We can't let one person delay the development of an enterprise or an industry."

"Thank you Governor Chen for your support. With your words, I can boldly implement reforms."

"Wujiang, go ahead and do it. We leaders hope that you local leaders can be more open-minded, bolder, and take further steps, so that we can keep up with the pace of the times. But this incident also reminded me. If our province wants to develop, we must first change the thinking of cadres, liberate our minds, keep pace with the times, constantly reform, pursue development, and adapt to the needs of modernization. It seems that it is urgent for the whole province to hold a cadre ideological transformation conference."

Li Wujiang did not leave the provincial capital that day. He received a call from Dong Jie and heard that she was also in the provincial capital. The two had not seen each other for a long time, and his heart was full of longing. However, in the evening, Li Wujiang still had dinner with comrades from the General Affairs Office and the Inspection Office. After all, everyone missed him, and these people were also people around the provincial party committee leaders. Maybe they could be used one day, so Li Wujiang specially arranged for everyone to get together at the Hongren Street Club. Yao Honglan, Lu Haoran and others participated in the event. This meal, Li Wujiang did not drink less.

Chapter 470 If a tiger doesn't show its might, it will be treated as a sick cat

Yao Honglan wanted to send Li Wujiang off, but was rejected by Li Wujiang. Because Li Wujiang had seen Dong Jie waiting for him in the distance. After everyone left, Li Wujiang got into Dong Jie's car. Dong Jie immediately threw herself into his arms, and the two kissed passionately in the car.
