The pursuit of a position in officialdom

Li Wujiang quickly extended his hand and said with a smile, "Welcome Miss Ouyang to our Jining."

"She looks like an ordinary person, nothing special." Ouyang Wenjing muttered to herself.

Li Wujiang was confused. Seeing this, Liao Zonghan immediately took over and said, "My assistant has long admired Mayor Li. I am a little overwhelmed to meet you today. I am sorry to make Mayor Li laugh."

Li Wujiang didn't know where he had long admired her, but he didn't care so much and invited Liao Zonghan to go with him.

After Liao Zonghan arrived in Binzhou, Ge Jiande personally led the team members at home to welcome Liao Zonghan and his party, which made Liao Zonghan and Ouyang Wenjing feel more respectful. In the evening, Ge Jiande and Li Wujiang personally hosted Liao Zonghan and his party at Yida Hotel in Binzhou City. Hotel manager Xia Dan knew that Li Wujiang and his party were here, and personally served Li Wujiang. Because they were acquaintances, Li Wujiang smiled at her to show his gratitude.

Chapter 513 Clash with Ouyang Wenjing

Ouyang Wenjing saw this small action, and she sneered at Li Wujiang. Men are really lustful, even the hotel waiters are not spared.

"Boss Liao, I think the cadres in Binzhou are just like this. When they meet investors, they are like pugs, lowering their eyebrows and making eyes, without any backbone. Especially when Li Wujiang sees a beautiful woman, he almost pounces on her directly." After dinner, Ouyang Wenjing chatted with Liao Zonghan with an unhappy look on her face.

Liao Zonghan looked at this little girl and smiled helplessly. He really couldn't do anything about this girl. If she was really his secretary, he would have fired her long ago. "Ouyang, you should be careful when you speak. When we arrived in Binzhou, as guests, we should respect the host and not talk nonsense. Besides, I think Binzhou City has done a good job. At least it proves that Binzhou City really wants to develop the economy. Isn't this a good start for our company? If all of them are like some places that only know how to take bribes, how can our company develop? You have to know the relationship between fish and water. Fish cannot live without water, and water without fish will also appear defeated. The place is a spring, a river, and we are a small fish. The government is the guardian of this big river. Only when both sides respect and support each other can we create a good development environment."

"Then there is no need for us to invest in Binzhou. The conditions in many places are better than Binzhou."

"What you said is that the advantages of many places are indeed more obvious than Binzhou. Some places have ports. The location is superior, some places have policy and financial support, and some places have developed import and export trade. So why do we come to Binzhou? This is a long-term vision. When cooperating with the mainland government, the most important thing is to see what a government does, especially the courage and vision of the local leaders, especially in this era of rapid development, some leaders can seize opportunities and rush to promote the rapid development of a city or a region. I think Binzhou has such potential. "

"Mr. Liao, are you gambling?"

"You are right. Doing business and investing is gambling. If you bet right, you will make a lot of money. "

"What if you bet wrong?"

"I believe in my vision."

"Just say that you believe in Li Wujiang. I don't know why you believe in him so much."

Li Wujiang personally accompanied Liao Zonghan and Ouyang Wenjing to the Dongliang Port for a field visit. Since Binzhou City eradicated the smuggling gang, Li Wujiang has requested the opening of the Dongliang Port. Now the Dongliang Port has also regained new vitality.

"Mayor Li, the infrastructure of Dongliang Port is very poor, and there are not many merchant ships coming and going. This is a huge investment, and it will be more difficult to recover the cost." Ouyang Wenjing pointed out the problem.

"The problem raised by Miss Ouyang does exist, but as a world-class entrepreneur, we should look at the long-term and not just the present. The future Dongliang Port will be built into a major port in the north." Li Wujiang did not avoid the problem.

"Mayor Li, you are just drawing a pie in the sky. I can draw as many pie in the sky as you want, but our companies have invested real money."

Ouyang Wenjing's words were a bit unkind, and the leaders present were a little annoyed. Liao Zonghan was about to stop Ouyang Wenjing, but was stopped by Li Wujiang.

"Miss Ouyang said it well. We are just drawing pie in the sky now, but we are not daydreaming or making money out of nothing. We need to have strategic vision and lofty ambitions. At present, my country's development is advancing by leaps and bounds. The economy and society are developing comprehensively, especially all walks of life are undergoing a qualitative change. Whoever can seize the wave of development at this time will stand at the top of the world. We, Binzhou City, invite entrepreneurs to invest with a sincere attitude and a mutually beneficial and win-win attitude. As a government, we deeply understand that the purpose of enterprises is to make profits. If enterprises do not make profits, how can they have the motivation to continue to develop. Therefore, our development of Dongliang Port is not drawing pie in the sky, but to provide an entry point for the future development of enterprises."

"Oh, where is the entry point that Mayor Li mentioned?"

"For a port to develop, it must rely on a vast production and consumption market. Where is Binzhou's market? I think it is in Jining, in the Northeast, and in the North. Dongliang Port is the only deep-water port in the Northeast, with rich hinterland resources and external connections to Northeast Asian countries. Import and export trade will increase day by day. Of course, many people think that what I said is intangible and invisible. Now I will talk about what can be seen. The approval document for Binzhou to establish a free trade port will be issued soon. I believe that a large company like Huang Heji will definitely know what this means. In addition, Binzhou is planning to establish the largest petrochemical equipment base in the country. We are striving for a refining and chemical integration project of tens of millions of tons. The fourth largest shipyard in my country is preparing for transformation and upgrading. High-end electronic equipment projects such as Changting mobile phones will also be settled in Binzhou. I believe that the investment and construction of these series of projects will definitely promote the development of Binzhou, which will also promote the future development of Dongliang Port."

Ouyang Wenjing is not a fool. After listening to Li Wujiang's words, she also understands why Liao Zonghan was attracted. Li Wujiang is just drawing a pie, but the pie he drew is too real, which makes people have to jump into it willingly.

Liao Zonghan stayed in Binzhou for one day and then left, but he kept Ouyang Wenjing. Liao Zonghan told Li Wujiang that Huang Heji was very interested in investing in Binzhou, and let Ouyang Wenjing discuss the specific business here.

Dongliang County did not have a county party secretary for the time being, so Li Wujiang entrusted Qu Haibin to talk to Ouyang Wenjing. He did not like chatting with this girl, because this girl's mouth was too poisonous, which made Li Wujiang unable to resist sometimes. However, what Li Wujiang did not expect was that Ouyang Wenjing would not talk to Qu Haibin, saying that Qu Haibin could not be the head of the family, and had to talk to Li Wujiang, which made the good-tempered Qu Haibin say that he was willing to accompany this young lady no matter what. In order to attract investment, Li Wujiang had no choice but to go into battle in person.

"Miss Ouyang, you live by the sea in Dongliang Port. How is the scenery here?"

"The scenery is pretty good."

"Is the food in Binzhou delicious?"

"Not bad."

"Then Miss Ouyang, rest here for a few more days, just like a vacation, I won't bother you."

Ouyang Wenjing was also left alone for two days by Li Wujiang. Although the scenery is good, she will get bored if she is left alone here. "Mayor Li, is this your way of entertaining guests in Binzhou? Leaving guests alone here, is this your waiter spirit?"

Chapter 514: Grandpa Fang passed away, and the world changed

"Miss Ouyang, tell me what you need, and I will immediately arrange someone to serve you."

"I don't need others, I just need you to accompany me here." After saying that, Ouyang Wenjing felt that what she said was a bit ambiguous, blushed, and immediately corrected her statement. "Dongliang Port development is such a big project, other people in Binzhou City can't make the decision at all."

"Miss Ouyang, if you want to discuss the development of Dongliang Port, it's simple. If you have any requirements for Huang Heji Company, you can put them forward and we will discuss it together."

Although Ouyang Wenjing came under the banner of discussing the development of Dongliang Port, Li Wujiang came but kept silent. Li Wujiang saw that there was no way, so he said, "I have been busy for a long time and haven't had a rest. Today, Mei is accompanying me, and I will also have a good rest on the beach of Dongliang Port. Come on, Miss Ouyang, I toast you a glass. Blue sea, blue sky, white clouds, beautiful women, beautiful women, red wine. Miss Ouyang, do you think my poems are good?"

Ouyang Wenjing had just drunk imported red wine and was teased by Li Wujiang. "Mayor Li, if you can't write poems, don't write them, but don't ruin this beautiful scenery."

"Poems are not good or bad, they depend on the state of mind."

Li Wujiang's philosophical words made Ouyang Wenjing fall into it all of a sudden. Li Wujiang watched the sea breeze caressing Ouyang Wenjing's hair, and she looked even more beautiful under the setting sun.

Ouyang Wenjing stayed in Binzhou for three days and then left, and there was no further progress in the development of Dongliang Port. Li Wujiang could only smile bitterly, as good things still require more polish.

The public election of the mayor's secretary is in full swing. Since Li Wujiang's appearance on the news broadcast, many people who had not registered before have asked to extend the registration time so that they can also participate in the selection exam. However, according to Li Wujiang's meaning, the registration has been closed in the announcement, and based on fairness and justice, the registration time will not be extended. The Organization Department organized the written test according to the established plan. At this time, Li Wujiang rushed back to Beijing because he received a call from Fang Shuxin, saying that Mr. Fang's health suddenly deteriorated and he hoped to meet Li Wujiang.

"Shuxin, how is the old man's health?" Fang Shuxin personally went to the airport to pick up Li Wujiang.

"Grandpa is still in the intensive care unit. This time the disease is fierce. The attending doctor of the hospital said that if Grandpa can survive this time, he may have about two years to live. If he can't survive, then..." Fang Shuxin spoke with a hint of tears.

"Shuxin, don't worry. I believe that the old man is lucky and will definitely survive this crisis. If it doesn't work, the medical level abroad is better. We can send the old man abroad for treatment." Li Wujiang said this from his heart, but he knew that it would be very difficult for the old man to go abroad for treatment.

"Grandpa has hired the most advanced medical team in China, so there is no need to go abroad for treatment. Wujiang knows that you have just experienced a big battle in Binzhou recently. This time I hurriedly called you back and caused you trouble."

"Shuxin, how can you say such a thing? We are a family. The old man is the sky of our family. As long as the old man is safe, it is more important than anything else."

Li Wujiang did not go home and rushed directly to the hospital. By this time, the old man's ward was already full of people. Almost all the old man's children came back, but Fang Zhiguo did not come back. After all, he was now a feudal official, and many things were beyond his control. This means that loyalty and filial piety cannot have both. In addition to the old man's relatives, the old man's old colleagues and subordinates also came to visit him.

Ma Deming and Liu Chunlin, the sons-in-law of the Fang family, looked very different when they saw Li Wujiang again. Li Wujiang's performance in Binzhou could be said to be brilliant. To be able to appear on the news network, he must have obtained the consent of the top management. This means that Li Wujiang has entered the high-level vision. Li Wujiang is only thirty years old, so who can dare to imagine his future achievements.

The old man was originally in the intensive care unit and no one was allowed to visit him, but when he learned that Li Wujiang was back, he specially invited Li Wujiang in. This made the people of Lao Fang's family understand Li Wujiang's weight once again.

Looking at Mr. Fang lying on the hospital bed, his body was covered with tubes, his face was pale, and he was too weak to sit up. When Li Wujiang saw this situation, he couldn't help but burst into tears after not crying for a long time.

The old man struggled to hold Li Wujiang's hand, and Li Wujiang quickly stepped forward and held the old man's hands. The doctor standing aside saw that the old man wanted to speak, so he took off the oxygen mask for him.

"Wujiang, I'm glad to see you. Don't be sad." The old man spoke in a trembling and intermittent voice.

"Old man, please cooperate with the doctor's treatment. When you are discharged from the hospital, I will accompany you to kill two more games."

The old man did not follow Wujiang's words, but said to himself, "You are a very good boy. Just stick to your path and don't care what others say."

The old man's voice became softer and softer after that, and Li Wujiang could no longer hear clearly. The doctor next to him saw that the old man's condition was not good, so he quickly put the oxygen mask on the old man again and asked Li Wujiang to go out.

When everyone saw Li Wujiang coming out, they all surrounded him and asked about the old man's condition. Li Wujiang shook his head and said nothing. The old man's current situation makes him feel like he is fighting against time. Although he was not a child of Lao Fang's family, the old man was very kind to him. He recognized him as his grandson-in-law at a glance and taught him a lot about being an official.

Fang Shuxin persuaded Li Wujiang to go back and take a rest. Li Wujiang insisted on staying with the old man in the hospital, and the others did not force it.

In the end, the old man did not survive this time and went west. Since the old man was the main leader, his funeral was also arranged by the general office. Leaders in Beijing sent wreaths. Li Wujiang also met the big guys in the capital at the funeral. When these big guys shook hands with Li Wujiang, it seemed even more meaningful.

Jining Province also sent a funeral group headed by Li Weiguo, including Li Weiguo, Chen Baojia, Liu Huairen, Cao Minglou and others, who all expressed their condolences to Li Wujiang.

Cao Minglou also called Li Wujiang aside alone to explain the situation.

"Wujiang, by the way, I would like to express my condolences. Originally, something big happened to your family. We should have notified Binzhou and come to pay our respects at the same time. However, Secretary Li and I, considering Mr. Fang's special status, did not explain the situation to the comrades in Binzhou. Please Forgive me." This was what Li Weiguo asked Cao Minglou to convey to Li Wujiang, because he was worried that Li Wujiang would be disappointed and no one would come to pay homage to him.

"Secretary-General, Secretary Li and you have thought carefully. I want to thank you. You are also protecting me." Li Wujiang had no intention of letting the comrades in Binzhou know.

Chapter 515: Leadership call and plan explained

However, the comrades from Binzhou did not come, but the old colleagues from Huayuan came, because Li Wujiang's identity was not a secret in Nandu City's circle of friends. When everyone saw the news of Mr. Fang's death on the news, they immediately organized a funeral in the capital. Deng Dahai, Chang Yafei, Xie Fei, Song Fei, Xi Yunhai, Feng Yun, Liu Yu, Wang Gang, Zhang Zhiqiang, Du Youfa and others all rushed over. Of course, friends from the mall Li Na, Xia Ruohan, Wang Jianhua, Song Xiyang, Song Beiyang, Ma Tianyu, Liu Fengmei, Yan Yaoqing and others also came.

At this time, because there were many leaders who came to express their condolences, Li Wujiang could not speak to them one by one. However, the feelings of so many years were all left unspoken.

"Secretary Ge, if Mayor Li takes such a long leave this time, nothing will happen. There are currently several key issues that need to be studied and decided by the Standing Committee." Zhang Xianjun said.

"Secretary-General Cao personally called and said that Mayor Wujiang needs to go back to deal with something, so let's wait a little longer." Ge Jiande has also been feeling uneasy recently. He also saw Mr. Fang's death on the news. It just happened that Li Wujiang rushed back to the capital at this time. It couldn't be such a coincidence. He repeatedly asked Cao Minglou, but Cao Minglou told him not to inquire. At this time, he had a hunch that Li Wujiang might be closely related to Fang Lao's death.

"While Mayor Li is away, work cannot stop. You asked Mayor Pei and Mayor Qi to continue promoting the project construction."

Ji Zhongyu entered the assessment stage by ranking first in the written test and first in the interview during this secretary selection process. He now confidently wants to become Li Wujiang's secretary as soon as possible. Ji Zhongyu graduated from a prestigious university and was later assigned to Wangcheng County, Binzhou City. He served as the township head at a young age and was also a leader in the local area. But compared with Li Wujiang, there is a long way to go. This time he had such an opportunity, and he was determined to seize it.

"Chief Ji, why are you still working in the township? You have been selected first. This time you will definitely be the mayor's secretary. You should take care of me when you become a leader in the future." Zhang Chengli, secretary of the township party committee, said.

"Secretary Zhang, the higher-ups have not confirmed yet. I'd better do my job honestly. There's no point in thinking so much now."

"This is a good opportunity for you to get out of this remote place. You should find more leaders and move around. You know what's going on in the officialdom. Results are not the most important. The key is whether you have someone above you."

Zhang Chengli's words made Ji Zhongyu's heart skip a beat. Although he is young, he has also become the mayor of the township. Of course, he knows the tricks in the officialdom. He was able to become the mayor of the township by luck. It happened that the superiors had requirements for the selection of township mayors. He must meet the academic qualifications and age requirements before he could come up. If he relied on his family's relationship, he would probably have a hard time becoming the mayor of the township in his lifetime. This time, the mayor's secretary selection will eventually be selected from the top five people, so he doesn't care who is first or fifth. That is to say, even if Ji Zhongyu ranked first, he might not be selected as the secretary of the municipal party committee secretary. Thinking of this, Ji Zhongyu felt a little bitter in his heart. But he still hid it well. "Secretary Zhang, you also know my family background. We have tried our best. Whether it will succeed or not depends on fate."

The funeral of Mr. Fang was held in a solemn and solemn manner. Li Wujiang had been back for a long time. He originally planned to return to Binzhou after attending the funeral, but suddenly received a call from the Beijing Office, saying that the leader wanted to see him.

Li Wujiang did not ask which leader wanted to see him. He came to the office of the Beijing leader with a fearful heart. After waiting in the reception room for a while, Li Wujiang saw that it was Mr. Yan who came over, and he stood up quickly.

"Comrade Wujiang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Mr. Yan said politely.

"Leader, please don't say that. You are so busy every day, but I am honored to meet with a kid like me."

"Although you are young, you are growing up very fast. Although Mr. Fang is gone, we still pay attention to you."

Li Wujiang was greatly encouraged by Mr. Yan's words. It was his lifelong honor to receive the attention of so many big men.

"I've invited you back this time, and I guess you've guessed why. You mentioned building a service-oriented government at the Binzhou press conference. This idea is very novel and meets the current needs of our country's development. It is also a new way for our government to transform its own functions. Today I hope to hear your views in detail."

"It's not a view. This is also what we have been exploring and summarizing in our grassroots practical work. With the continuous development of society and the transformation of the economic system, people's pursuit of a better life is getting higher and higher, but our grassroots government departments have limited service capabilities and service levels, and are increasingly unable to meet the requirements of the people; in addition, we advocate vigorously developing the economy and creating a good environment, but the government's various approval systems and the bureaucratic style of personnel in various departments are still far from the requirements of social development. Considering these aspects, I think it is necessary for us to establish a service-oriented government that satisfies the people."

"What you said makes sense. If the economy is to develop and society is to progress, the government must keep up with the pace of the times and the needs of the people. What specific ideas do you have in building a service-oriented government?"

"We need to establish a service-oriented government with scientific functions, optimized structure, integrity and efficiency, and people's satisfaction. I think we should promote it from four aspects. The first is to promote institutional reform and functional transformation. We should focus on transforming functions and rationalizing the relationship between responsibilities, steadily promote the reform of the large department system, and implement the separation of government and enterprises. We should continue to promote the reform of the administrative approval system. Reducing administrative approval matters is the most direct way to streamline administration and delegate power, and the effect is very obvious. We should follow the principle of "who invests, who makes decisions, who benefits, and who bears risks" to reduce and delegate investment approval matters as much as possible, and effectively implement the investment autonomy of enterprises and individuals. We should reduce and delegate approval matters for production and business activities. As long as market entities can make independent decisions, market mechanisms can effectively regulate, industry organizations can self-discipline, and administrative agencies can effectively solve matters through post-event supervision, no approval will be established. For matters that require approval, if they are directly facing the grassroots, large in quantity and wide in scope, or more convenient and effective for local implementation, the approval power should be delegated to the local government. The second is to regulate the operation of government power. When the government formulates administrative regulations, it should be based on the Constitution and laws, and focus on optimizing the development environment, maintaining fair competition and market order, strengthening social management, protecting and improving people's livelihood, ecological construction and environmental protection. "
