The pursuit of a position in officialdom

This meant something else to Li Wujiang. Ouyang Wenjing came here at this time, so she must be heading for Dongliang Port. If it wasn't for Dongliang Port, there would be no need to make a trip. However, at this critical time point, he needed to get affirmation. "Miss Ouyang, you are not kidding me, are you?"

"Mayor Li, then you are kidding if you say you are kidding." Ouyang Wenjing deliberately teased Li Wujiang.

"Oh, my aunt." Li Wujiang said it in a hurry. Ouyang Wenjing heard it clearly over there, and hurriedly asked what Li Wujiang meant. Fortunately, Li Wujiang had a three-inch eloquence and fooled Ouyang Wenjing.

"Mayor Li, Binzhou's seafood is good, you must remember to arrange it in advance."

Li Wujiang was very happy to get Ouyang Wenjing's affirmative answer, and agreed to it. What made Liao Zonghan turn around 360 degrees, which made Li Wujiang a little confused, but since Liao Zonghan was willing to come, it meant that Huang Heji's problem was not big.

After receiving this news, Li Wujiang felt much more relaxed when he entered the office again. However, the conference room was still in chaos at this time. Qi Shaobo, Hou Yanli and others were defending Li Wujiang, while Lu Wannian, Yang Songtao and others were attacking the current development policy. When everyone saw Li Wujiang coming in, the conference room suddenly became quiet.

At this time, Ge Jiande also saw that Li Wujiang had something to say, so he asked Li Wujiang to speak.

"Everyone, I just received a call from Huang Heji Port Group. Tomorrow, Mr. Liao and Mr. Ouyang of Huang Heji will lead the team to Binzhou City to personally discuss the development of Dongliang Port."

As soon as Li Wujiang finished speaking, the Standing Committee members below immediately changed their faces, especially Lu Wannian, Yang Songtao and others, who looked very embarrassed. Just now, they were still attacking that no one was willing to develop Dongliang Port, but now someone was willing to take over. This was a slap in the face.

"Mayor Wujiang, is this news confirmed?" Ge Jiande was worried that Li Wujiang deliberately spread the news in order to deal with everyone.

"Secretary Ge, don't worry about this. After the meeting, I will personally go to Jiyang to welcome the Huangheji Port Company."

"Okay, then you should prepare well. This is good news for our Binzhou City. As long as Dongliang Port can start construction as scheduled, I believe other investors will have more confidence."

What Li Wujiang said next made everyone even more unbelievable.

"Secretary Ge, I have a few more news to announce to everyone. Recently, there will be political and business delegations from Beijing, Tianjin, Guangxia, Huayuan, Xishan, Dongshan and other places to visit Binzhou City for field investigations and negotiate investment cooperation relationships." In fact, Li Wujiang had received calls from these friends a long time ago. Originally, he did not want to show his merits, but at this time he needed to prove himself to everyone and show the government's credibility to the society.

With Li Wujiang's subsequent words, the meeting ended quickly.

"Mayor Li, this battle was fought beautifully, leaving some people speechless." Qi Shaobo said with a smile.

"Mayor Shaobo, I originally wanted to concentrate on my work and did not want to be proud of my achievements, but in the end, everyone misunderstood me like this." Li Wujiang smiled bitterly.

"Mayor Li, you can't always be a good guy. For the bad guys, you have to give a fierce blow to let them know that the lion is always a lion."

Chapter 536 Inviting a consultant on a temporary basis, a good strategy

"Mayor Shaobo's metaphor is interesting, but from now on, more people will hate me."

"Secretary Yang, I think this Li Wujiang is doing it on purpose. He deliberately wants to embarrass us." Pei Ruhai was furious when he arrived at Yang Songtao's office after the meeting.

At this time, Yang Songtao also had a dark face. He didn't expect that the one who played the eagle was actually fooled by the eagle. "It seems that we underestimated this Mayor Li. He has great power. He can actually mobilize so much support from all over the country. This is not something that ordinary people can do. We should be more careful in the future." Yang Songtao was angry, but he was very calm. Li Wujiang's ability once again proved that this guy was powerful. Maybe he and Li Wujiang are not at the same level at all. This guy just came down to gild himself and left. Why should he fight him to the end?

"You can tolerate this, but I can't. I don't believe he can be one step ahead of others in everything, and he can cover the sky with one hand."

"Old Pei, why bother? He is here to gild himself, and he will leave sooner or later. There is no need for us to be angry with him."

"Secretary Yang, you can tolerate it, but I can't."

At this time, Lu Wannian's face was also livid. He didn't expect the situation to develop to this point. But surprisingly, it was Zhu Yinglai who appeared in his office.

"Secretary Lu, don't be angry. Don't get sick because of work." Although Zhu Yinglai was the former mayor's secretary, he was indeed Lu Wannian's man.

"Yinglai, this Mayor Li is not simple. I underestimated him and didn't listen to your advice." When Lu Wannian decided to fight Li Wujiang, Zhu Yinglai persuaded him, but he didn't persuade him in the end.

"Secretary Lu, Mayor Li is from outside. We all know that he has great power, many connections, and a deep background. But cadres like him won't stay in Binzhou for long. They will leave sooner or later."

"Yinglai, I know what you said. But people live to fight for their dignity. I feel uncomfortable with this anger."

It is also difficult for Zhu Yinglai now. As a person left behind by his predecessor, it is impossible for Li Wujiang to completely trust him. Especially after Li Wujiang chose Ji Zhongyu as deputy director and secretary of the Government Office, the relationship between the two only remained at the working level. He is now also looking for a good place for himself. "Secretary Lu, the time is not ripe now, but as long as we develop, we will definitely make mistakes."

"Okay, Yinglai, it's better for you to be prudent. It's right to put you in that position. But I also know your difficulties. If you don't tolerate it anymore, I have already said hello to the superiors. Sooner or later, the position of deputy mayor will be your."

Li Wujiang went to Jiyang Airport again to greet Liao Zonghan and his party. This time Liao Zonghan's attitude was very different from last time. This time he was much more enthusiastic and took the initiative to give Li Wujiang a hug, which surprised Li Wujiang. It was Ouyang Wenjing's turn. Originally, Ouyang Wenjing stretched out her hand, but Li Wujiang took the initiative to open his arms. With so many people watching, Ouyang Wenjing had no choice but to take advantage of Li Wujiang.

Li Wujiang whispered thank you in her ear, which made Ouyang Wenjing's flowers tremble.

"Mr. Liao, I've been looking forward to your arrival."

"Mayor Li, we can rely on you in Binzhou from now on."

"Don't worry, Mr. Liao, we in Binzhou City are dedicated to creating a good environment for companies coming to invest."

"I believe in Mayor Li's generosity. We are here because of Mayor Li. I hope Mayor Li can give us more guidance from Huang Hutchison in the future."

Liao Zonghan's humble words made Li Wujiang a little awakened. Liao Zonghan frequently mentioned himself instead of Binzhou, which meant that Liao Zonghan had an in-depth understanding of himself. "Mr. Liao trusts me so much. This is a disgrace to me. You can ask me to provide logistical services, but it will be difficult for me to provide guidance."

"Mayor Li, please stop being modest. Ruohan praised you like a flower in my ears."

"Oh, Mr. Liao and Ruohan are friends?" Only then did Li Wujiang know the reason for Liao Zonghan's change of attitude.

"Ruohan didn't tell you, but this girl grew up with me. But Ruohan has become more and more promising in recent years. But I heard that behind her success, there is a great man." Liao Zonghan It means looking at Li Wujiang from a long-term perspective.

Li Wujiang heard that Liao Zonghan was jealous, so he quickly explained, "What a great man, this is Ruohan's career that he worked hard for."

"Okay, Mayor Li. Let's get straight to the point this time, but I have a condition."

Li Wujiang smiled and said, feel free to put forward any conditions, as long as we in Binzhou City can fulfill them.

"Mayor Li, I am not raising this condition to Binzhou, but to you."

Li Wujiang was surprised. Could it be that Liao Zonghan had taken a fancy to him, so he looked at him with confusion.

"Mayor Li, you also know that port construction projects have long construction cycles and slow returns, and require continuous and stable policies. Once you are promoted, we are worried about problems in subsequent development and construction. We hope that Mayor Li can serve as a consultant for our port project. "Liao Zonghan really wanted to tie Li Wujiang to the dock of Huang Hutchison. He couldn't let a talented business figure like Li Wujiang not be used by him.

Li Wujiang really did not expect that Liao Zonghan would propose such a condition. This condition is a bit difficult for him. It is not impossible for party and government cadres to take temporary posts in enterprises, but it is a bit difficult for him to take a temporary post as mayor. "Mr. Liao, thank you very much for your trust in me. First of all, you must believe that our Binzhou development policy will be consistent and our support for Huang Hutchison will remain unchanged. These can be written in the contract; secondly, you must serve as your consultant. This It requires approval from superiors, but I think this is not the best choice. Trust me, I will be responsible for Huang Hutchison Company. At the same time, we in Binzhou have plans to upgrade Dongliang Port to Binzhou Port, establish a Binzhou Port Management Committee, and invite professionals. people participate in management operations.”

In fact, Liao Zonghan knew that asking Li Wujiang to serve as a consultant was a bit embarrassing for him. But what he wanted was a word from Li Wujiang. Now that Li Wujiang is willing to help Huang Hutchison, everything is easy to talk about.

With the previous preparation, this negotiation went smoothly. The two parties are ready to sign a cooperation agreement first, and the specific cooperation matters will be refined in the subsequent process.

Li Wujiang originally planned to sign the cooperation agreement in Binzhou City, but suddenly received a call from Cao Minglou, saying that he hoped to sign the cooperation agreement in Jiyang, when Secretary Li would attend relevant activities. After all, this is a major foreign investment project introduced by Jining, which can serve as a demonstration for the whole province. At the same time, it also announces to the outside world that Jining welcomes foreign-funded enterprises to invest and do business.

Chapter 537 The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying

Li Weiguo spoke, and Li Wujiang certainly agreed. He understood Li Weiguo's good intentions. This was Li Weiguo's practical actions to support Li Wujiang's efforts and the development of Binzhou.

The grand signing ceremony was held grandly in the Jining Auditorium. Liao Zonghan was also very happy that Li Weiguo could attend the signing ceremony in person. If the provincial leaders pay attention to it, then the project construction work will be carried out easily.

"Wujiang, you performed well this time and withstood the pressure from all sides." Li Weiguo looked at Li Wujiang and sincerely praised him, thinking about what the result would be if he was placed in this position.

"Secretary Li, I am the person you brought out. I can never embarrass you at any time."

Although Li Wujiang's words were crude, they were very affectionate, which made Li Weiguo tremble slightly in his heart after hearing them. Cao Minglou, who was next to him, also admired Li Wujiang for his courage in speaking and doing.

"Minglou, you see Wujiang's words are a bit sentimental, which touched me a little. But Wujiang, you must remember that no matter what time, you are a cadre of the people, and you must keep the people in mind when doing anything."

"Secretary Li, I will keep your teachings in mind."

"Although the development and construction of Dongliang Port has gone through many twists and turns, it was finally signed smoothly. The next step is to do a good job of service to ensure that these major projects are implemented, completed and effective as soon as possible. Of course, the provincial party committee will also escort Binzhou's development and introduce relevant policies as soon as possible. At the same time, we must resolutely take down provincial cadres who are incompetent and not conducive to development."

If Lu Wannian and Yang Songtao were here at this time, they would be terrified.

"Secretary Li, I think Wujiang is becoming more and more mature. After this, no one can stop Wujiang's development." Cao Minglou sighed as he watched Li Wujiang leave.

"Break through difficulties and achieve great things." Li Weiguo summed up Li Wujiang's future in one sentence.

"Ms. Ouyang, thank you." Liao Zonghan left, but Ouyang Wenjing took the initiative to stay, under the pretext of discussing the details of development and construction.

"Mayor Li, you are boring. I have a name." Ouyang Wenjing pouted and was dissatisfied.

"How about Wenjing?" Li Wujiang immediately changed the address, and only then did Ouyang Wenjing smile.

"Then I'll call you Wujiang. Wujiang, what is your relationship with Miss Ruohan?"

Ouyang Wenjing asked such a hot question right away, which made Li Wujiang unable to answer it. He coughed several times and said, "Friends, we are all friends."

"Friends? Miss Ruohan is from Hong Kong, how did you become friends?" Ouyang Wenjing looked like she was going to get to the bottom of it.

"When I was working in Huayuan, I went to Hong Kong to attract investment and met her. Wenjing, how is the seafood in Binzhou today?"

"Not very good, it tastes a little worse than the last time. I heard that your wife is also an entrepreneur." Ouyang Wenjing didn't get the answer she wanted to ask, so of course she was unhappy.

Li Wujiang saw that Ouyang Wenjing kept asking about the woman around him, and he was a little overwhelmed, so he slipped away under the pretext of having a phone call. This made Ouyang Wenjing stamp her feet in anger.

Binzhou's development has reached its peak. Investment inspection teams led by Zhao Qianlong, Li Na, Xie Kun, and Fang Shuxin came one after another; the political and business inspection teams led by Fang Hongwei and Tang Jiahe also arrived as scheduled and signed friendly cooperation frameworks with Binzhou City respectively.

At the same time, under the guidance of Li Wujiang, the cadre exchange activities between Binzhou and the two places successfully selected a group of cadres. Among them was Ma Jianchao, who was originally arranged by Li Wujiang to cooperate with Qu Haibin, but he volunteered to go out to study, and Li Wujiang also encouraged him. The team was led by Deputy Mayor Cheng Kunyang. Li Wujiang personally attended the mobilization meeting, hoping that the cadres participating in the exchange and study must carry forward their style, spread Binzhou's spirit of self-reliance and hard work, and not discredit Binzhou. He hoped that everyone would return home soon after completing their studies.

Originally, this exchange activity was only required to be carried out in two cities. However, the Beijing Organization Department suddenly notified the Jining Provincial Organization Department that a launching ceremony for the cadre exchange activity would be held in Binzhou, and Mu Liancheng would personally attend it. This news set off the officialdom of Binzhou City. Although Mu Liancheng is a deputy minister, he has stepped into the core. This has not happened in Binzhou City for many years.

"Wujiang, in which aspects should we do a good job in welcoming?" Ge Jiande was somewhat excited.

Seeing Ge Jiande's face full of excitement, Li Wujiang was embarrassed to spoil his fun. "Secretary Ge, we currently have two highlights in Binzhou, which can be visited and inspected by leaders. On the one hand, we have established talent apartments to provide a good living environment for exchange cadres and talents who come to Binzhou for development; on the other hand, we have equipped weak and scattered villages with first secretaries to strengthen grassroots construction." These two tasks were promoted by Li Wujiang after he arrived in Binzhou. Although they are not very mature at present, they are still worth watching overall. "The key is that we need the propaganda department and the organization department to put the relevant documents, systems and pictures on the wall to create an organizational culture corridor. I think it's not too late to prepare for this work now."

"Wujiang, you are still foresighted. This time you have made the first contribution to Binzhou."

"Secretary Ge, please don't say that. All this is still under your leadership. But I know that Minister Mu doesn't like red tape. Keeping everything simple is the greatest respect for him."

Heard that Li Wujiang knew Mu Liancheng, Ge Jiande was very surprised. With this relationship, Li Wujiang can walk sideways in Jining without having to look at anyone's face. "Wujiang, are you familiar with Minister Mu?"

Looking at Ge Jiande's surprised face, Li Wujiang did not show off. He deliberately revealed it. He now understood one thing. If he wanted to get things done in Binzhou, he still needed to take advantage of the momentum. As long as this momentum can be used by him, he would not hesitate. "When I was working in Huayuan before, I had the honor to visit Minister Mu."

Li Wujiang's "fortunate" was not the case in Ge Jiande's mind. But he didn't ask any more questions, after all, officials are quite taboo about these things. "Well, Wujiang, you and Minister Mu are old friends, so I'll leave the reception task to you this time."

"Secretary Ge, I can run errands, but you should be the one to receive the leaders."

Ge Jiande smiled and looked at Li Wujiang, this young man was very capable.

Lu Wannian was transferred away without any warning by a transfer document from the Provincial Organization Department to the position of Vice Chairman of the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles. This position is a real position, but it has no real power. To put it bluntly, it is a place for retirement.

"Secretary Lu, they are blatantly excluding dissidents. We can't give up," Li Jianwei was very scared at this time. Lu Wannian was gone, and he might be the next one.
