The pursuit of a position in officialdom

Chapter 538: Ride the waves and set sail

Lu Wannian was gritting his teeth at this time, but there was nothing he could do. He asked his old comrades in the province and said that the provincial party committee leader was angry, which led to the current situation. Lu Wannian was not stupid. He knew that nothing he could do at this time would help. The only thing he could do was to take care of himself in old age. "Jianwei, the matter is over, don't think about it too much. Then just do your job well."

"Secretary Lu, is this all?" Li Jianwei was a little reluctant.

Lu Wannian shook his head and said nothing more.

This incident had a great impact on Yang Songtao and Pei Ruhai. At this time, they were like panicked birds, worried that they would eventually be blamed.

"Secretary Yang, this is too cruel. This little mayor is too cruel."

"Lao Pei, maybe this is a normal transfer?"

"This is simply impossible. Lao Lu is only in his early fifties and there is still room for improvement. At this time, he has adjusted to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and that is the end of everything. Will we be next?" Pei Ruhai said worriedly.

"Probably not. According to the regular organizational adjustment methods, after this batch of adjustments is completed, the next adjustment will take some time." Yang Songtao felt that what he said was a bit self-deceiving. Since Li Wujiang arrived in Binzhou, there are no regular procedures. Everything They all broke the rules and made people panic.

After Lu Wannian left, Binzhou was completely quiet for a period of time. A situation in which Ge Jiande focused on politics and ideology, while Wujiang strictly focused on economy and people's livelihood was quietly formed.

Mu Liancheng's arrival is a great honor for Binzhou. Li Weiguo, Chen Baojia, Jiang Guohua, Cao Minglou and other provincial leaders accompanied him.

"Secretary Weiguo, under your leadership, Jining Province has undergone great changes, which is gratifying and congratulatory."

"Minister Mu, this is because we have caught up with the development of the times and the progress of the country. We Jining people are also moving forward with the vigor that time cannot wait for us."

"In recent years, Jining's organizational work, investment promotion, and large-scale project construction have all achieved outstanding results, which shows that our team in Jining is very united and pragmatic."

"Thank you for the affirmation of the organization. The key to development lies in people, and the key to selecting people depends on organization. This is also the reason why we have done a good job in organizational work. Comrade Wujiang is an example. He is a cadre selected by you. He is responsible for the construction in Binzhou and Jining played an important role.”

"Yes, a good cadre can drive the development of a place. Our organizational work requires continuous innovation, fully tapping outstanding talents, promoting cross-regional exchanges of cadres, and promoting cadres to be promoted and promoted through competition, public selection, external recruitment, etc. The channels enrich our employment channels so that we can make good use of the vitality of cadres.”

At the symposium, Ge Jiande made a typical report and exchange on behalf of Binzhou. Ge Jiande was also very happy that he could show up in front of the leader. Since there are many leaders, Li Wujiang basically has no chance to show up. But in private, Mu Liancheng stayed overnight in Binzhou, and Mu Liancheng personally summoned Li Wujiang. It is not known what the two sides discussed.

The arrival of Mu Liancheng can be regarded as pushing the atmosphere of Binzhou to the highest level. Binzhou has officially entered a stage of great development after the arrival of various investment delegations.

"Mr. Zhou, it seems that Li Wujiang is very popular. There are many people who want to help him."

"Since young people can do so much, let them do it. They don't know that misfortune depends on blessings, and blessings and misfortunes exist. For these juniors, let's not get involved. The rest of the people should also take action. The cake is only that big. , If we don’t move, we won’t have enough points.”

Soon, Li Wujiang's eldest father-in-law Fang Zhihua retired from the army; his uncle Ma Deming was also reassigned and went to Xichuan Province as deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. On the surface, he was promoted, but in fact he was promoted and secretly demoted. First-tier cities were transferred to the remote southwest, and people with real power were transferred to vacuous positions. But these are things that Li Wujiang cannot decide. He also called Ma Deming separately, and the two parties were at peace with each other. Ma Deming told Li Wujiang not to be affected and to follow his own path.

Due to Li Wujiang's insufficient level and the protection of big bosses such as Fang Zhiguo, Huang Weimin, Mu Liancheng, and Li Weiguo, during this wave of attacks on the Fang family, except for the initial pressure to attract investment, there was nothing politically important. Influence. For this reason, Fang Zhiguo also personally recruited Li Wujiang back and gave him personal instructions.

"Wujiang, the banner of the Fang family will be in your hands from now on. Don't worry, the Fang family will protect you no matter what."

Li Wujiang could tell that Fang Zhiguo was a little frustrated. Fang Zhiguo originally thought that even though the old man was gone, he was now a senior member of the party and could withstand the pressure from the top without going against his wishes. This is the cruelty of the struggle. It would be great if the Fang family could escape unscathed this time.

"Dad, you are still in your position now and there will be opportunities in the future. How can you hand over this heavy responsibility to me?" Li Wujiang said.

"I'm not going to hide it from you, this is the end for me in this position. It's not that the higher-ups are afraid of being too embarrassed and affecting the overall development of Xishan, I guess I will step down this time. But this is only temporary. Well, you don't have to Think about my business. I didn't talk to you about this before, thinking that we could protect you for a while, but now it seems that your future depends on you, but you don't have to worry, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, we can do it. There are some people in various agencies, and they will still help you if you need it in the future. "

"Thank you dad, I will do a good job."

"At the beginning, the old man was wise and did not let you rely too much on the Fang family. Instead, you made friends with the Zhao family and the Huang family. Now you are considered to be a faction of your own. I believe that as long as you don't make mistakes in the future, you will have someone to rely on no matter where you go. The Fang family will rely on you from now on."

Fang Zhiguo's last words were a bit heavy, and it was only at this time that Li Wujiang really felt that the burden on him was heavier. In the past, he had no faction in his heart, nor did he belong to any faction, nor did he include himself in the Fang family's camp. But from this incident, he saw that no matter whether he admitted it or not, others would eventually place him in the Fang family, and he could not escape. Since you can't escape, then boldly carry this banner. "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely follow the old man's teachings, follow my own path, and protect my family."

"Husband, if you are tired from work, you can come back and help me take care of the children, and I will be relaxed." Fang Shuxin comforted her because she was worried that Li Wujiang would feel uncomfortable after being affected during this period.

"Okay, this is a good thing. From now on, I will be a full-time dad and take care of the children at home. Come on, An'an, let daddy kiss you." Li Wujiang happily played with his son.

Chapter 539 Women are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty

"This is what you said. If you are embarrassed to open your mouth to Secretary Li, I will help you." Fang Shuxin was ready to take advantage of the situation.

"Okay, as long as you can get along well with Secretary Li and your father, I will listen to you." Li Wujiang looked at Fang Shuxin with a smile.

"Looking at your expression, have you promised them something, or have they promised you something? I think you are just a toiler, and if I ask you to come back and enjoy the blessings, you won't be able to enjoy it." Fang Shuxin knew what the result was, so she stopped. Said on this topic. It's not easy for Li Wujiang to come back. She must hurry up and make him pay the public food. At this time, Li Wujiang really understood that sentence, a woman is like a wolf at thirty and a tiger at forty. Now it's not about whether I want it or not, but it's not about whether he wants it or not.

Chen Sisi resigned and planned to go abroad. Whether it's for herself, her children, or Li Wujiang, this is her final choice. She knows that there are no secrets in officialdom. As long as she is in officialdom or in the country for one day, someone will come to dig up behind-the-scenes information about her. She didn't want to get Li Wujiang in trouble. She was happy to have a child with her. Li Wujiang personally sent her on a plane to go abroad.

With the implementation of a large number of projects in Binzhou, Binzhou has entered a stage of great development.

"Zhongyu, has something happened to Mayor Li recently? Why is he in a bad mood?" Zhu Yinglai asked.

"Director, you should be worried about the integrated gas refining project." Ji Zhongyu explained. Ji Zhongyu knew that Li Wujiang went to Huayuan Province and was not in a high mood after returning. Although Ji Zhongyu has not been Li Wujiang's secretary for a long time, he knows what to say and what not to say. For example, Li Wujiang should not have mentioned that he was going to China, because Li Wujiang specifically told him to buy the plane ticket and did not take him with him, which meant that Li Wujiang went to do personal things.

"Our mayor is really a doer. There are never too many projects. But this must be very tiring. You have to take good care of Mayor Li. You are not only his secretary at work, but also his secretary in life."

"Understood, Director."

"General Manager Ouyang, it seems that you are going to Binzhou in person to take charge of the Binzhou Port project construction work." Li Wujiang went to the port in person to see the project construction status. Since the completion of the signing of the contract, Dongliang Port has officially been renamed Binzhou Port, which can be regarded as an upgrade.

"What, is Mayor Li not welcoming?" Ouyang Wenjing looked at Li Wujiang and asked with a smile. This time she specially applied to Binzhou from Liao Zonghan to serve as the general manager of the Binzhou Port project. At that time, Liao Zonghan was very surprised. It was not easy to build the project, and Binzhou was cold all year round. This was not an easy task for a charming young lady like Ouyang Wenjing. But Ouyang Wenjing insisted on going, and he couldn't stop her, so he agreed.

"Of course we welcome him. General Manager Ouyang's visit to our Binzhou will add a beautiful scenery to the streets of Binzhou. It is estimated that many investors will come to Mr. Ouyang in the future."

"We haven't seen each other for a few days. It seems that Mayor Li's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." Ouyang Wenjing felt as happy as if she had eaten honey when she heard Li Wujiang praise her.

"Mr. Ouyang, are there any difficulties during the project construction now?" Li Wujiang asked routinely.

"The project department has just been established and is now in the land acquisition and demolition stage. Mayor Qu and others are very cooperative."

"Okay, if you have any difficulties, just tell the mayor of Haibin. Of course, you can also come to me directly."

During this time, Li Wujiang has been rushing around various project construction sites. His only purpose now is to hope that the project will be put into production as soon as possible.

"Mayor Li, this is tomorrow's schedule."

"Zhongyu, you're getting used to the job very quickly now." Li Wujiang was quite satisfied with this secretary.

"Mayor, your education is good. Without your careful guidance, I would not have learned so quickly. By the way, Mayor Li, I heard that Mayor Pei has been traveling to the province recently."

After hearing this, Li Wujiang raised his head and looked at Ji Zhongyu. He knew that Ji Zhongyu's sudden words must have hidden meaning, otherwise Pei Ruhai would not have been mentioned.

When Ji Zhongyu saw Li Wujiang looking at him, he said boldly, "Recently there was a rumor in the government yard that Secretary Lu was gone and Secretary Pei was coming." Ji Zhongyu was also asking Li Wujiang. Although he had not been working in the city government for a long time, he knew that the relationship between Li Wujiang and Pei Ruhai was not good. If Pei Ruhai is allowed to go further at this time, will it affect Li Wujiang's future work?

"Haha, there is another saying. It seems that some people can't wait. As a secretary, you can listen, but you can't talk nonsense like them." Li Wujiang said with a smile.

Ji Zhongyu was relieved when he saw that Li Wujiang was not angry. He knows that as a leader, the most taboo thing about others is gossiping. However, the secretary is also the source of information for the leader, so he needs to tell Li Wujiang some information. "I remember, Mayor."

"Okay, tomorrow I will go to the provincial capital to report on the gas refining integration project. You can tell Mayor Shaobo and ask him to go with me."

Ji Zhongyu felt a little strange. Originally, Qi Shaobo was not arranged to accompany him, but suddenly Li Wujiang added Qi Shaobo. It seemed that he had something to say.

“Mayor Shaobo, recently you have to pay close attention to project construction, especially for major projects, you have to set up special teams to handle docking procedures, land acquisition and demolition, project construction and other work, reverse the construction period, report every week, and comment every month. Make sure the project can be completed as soon as possible." After arriving in Jiyang, Li Wujiang said to Qi Shaobo in the hotel.

"Mayor Li, your demands are very high. This doesn't give everyone a chance to breathe." Qi Shaobo and Li Wujiang were familiar with each other, so they joked.

"I also want everyone to take a break, but look, development is happening all over the country. If we fall behind, we will fall behind."

"Mayor Li, you talk a lot. But now the comrades have given you a nickname called Zhou Papi, which means white plus black, Saturday plus weekend." Qi Shaobo said with a smile.

"It seems that everyone has complaints, and it's okay to complain. When I go back, I will communicate with Secretary Ge. The work still needs to be done, but in terms of political treatment, material treatment, and spiritual rewards, we can encourage our comrades. We can't just Let the comrades work without letting them get any benefits, and the comrades will definitely not be willing to do so. "

"Okay, with Mayor Li's words, everyone is probably very motivated."

"Mayor Shaobo, what has Mayor Pei been busy with recently?"

Li Wujiang suddenly asked this topic, which made it difficult for Qi Shaobo to answer. Although they are both deputy mayors, Pei Ruhai is the executive deputy mayor. He really can't control others, so he doesn't listen to Pei Ruhai's work. "I really don't know Mayor Pei's work. As you know, we are each responsible for our own affairs."

Chapter 540 It’s normal to want to make progress, please give me a helping hand

"No way, it has been spread in the government compound recently, haven't you heard about it?"

"Hey, Mayor Li, I thought what were you talking about? It's normal for a leader to want to make progress. Mayor Pei has been in this position for many years, so it's understandable that he wants to change positions."

"Oh, then Mayor Shaobo, don't you have any ideas?"

Li Wujiang suddenly asked this question, causing ripples in Qi Shaobo's heart. To be honest, there is a difference between the Standing Committee and the Standing Committee. The gap in ranking will affect a person's future promotion and use. Take him and Pei Ruhai as an example. Both of them are members of the Standing Committee, but Pei Ruhai is the executive deputy mayor. Then Pei Ruhai can take over the position of mayor, but he cannot. In addition, for the positions of deputy secretary and executive deputy mayor, the deputy secretary can directly take over as secretary, but the executive deputy mayor has no chance. Don't look at the subtlety, but the gap is a gap. Sometimes it looks a little bit different, but in fact the gap is huge. For Qi Shaobo, it is not that he has no ideas, but progress at this level requires someone above him. But since Li Wujiang asked this, he must have thoughts about him. The opportunity was right in front of him, it was up to him to see if he could take it. "Mayor, if you say you don't have any ideas, that's a lie. As I said just now, there's no way a cadre doesn't want to make progress. It's normal to want to make progress, but it's not normal if you don't want to make progress. But I am self-aware. Just because I have an idea doesn't mean I can realize it. "

"Mayor Shaobo, this is not right. If you have an idea, let's work hard to make it come true." Li Wujiang decided to help Qi Shaobo. Because he knows that he may be able to stay in Binzhou for one year, maybe two years, or three years, but he will definitely leave Binzhou in the end. So he will train his successor in Binzhou from now on. Qi Shaobo is a good choice.

"Thank you so much, Mayor Li. I will do whatever you say." Li Wujiang said so clearly that Qi Shaobo didn't have to pretend not to understand and immediately expressed his determination to Li Wujiang.

"I will report to Governor Miao on the gas refining integration project in the afternoon. I have made an appointment with Minister Jiang for a dinner in the evening. You will also come to attend." Li Wujiang's light words made Qi Shaobo know that the former secretary of the big leader was no the same.

"Governor Miao, you have become more and more energetic recently." After all, Li Wujiang had been with Miao Chengyi, so he spoke relatively casually.

"No matter how energetic I am, I am not as energetic as the youngest mayor of Jining Province. Recently, so many big projects have been introduced, which is very impressive." Miao Chengyi is fairly familiar with Li Wujiang's affairs. When they were in the Provincial Party Committee General Office, the two people had a superior-subordinate relationship and both needed to be responsible to Li Weiguo. Although there was friction between the two parties, it was not so obvious on the surface. However, since he became the executive deputy governor, Li Wujiang rarely reported directly to him. Instead, he reported directly to Chen Baojia and Li Weiguo over him. As the executive deputy, he was certainly not happy, so he deliberately blocked Binzhou City in the procedures for the gas refining integration project.

"Governor Miao, I am also vigorously responding to the call of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government to attract investment and seize large projects. Only in this way can I live up to your expectations, Governor Miao."

Miao Chengyi felt that after Li Wujiang took office at the local level, he became more at home and was not as repressed as he was in the provincial party committee, so he became more relaxed when he spoke now. "Okay, it's a good thing to get into a big project. The Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government will definitely support it. No matter what you do, you must follow the rules, and no matter what project you get, you must go through the procedures according to the regulations. After all, we are now a society ruled by law. Everyone must act as required. "

"What the leader said is that after returning to Binzhou, I will publicize it to everyone so that everyone can seriously study the spirit of Governor Miao's instructions. However, Governor Miao, this integrated gas refining project is a tens of billions-level project. It is not only related to The development of Binzhou is also related to the development of Jining. I hope Governor Miao will support and take care of it.”

"The gas refining integration project is the leading project in attracting investment in our province. The provincial party committee and the provincial government attach great importance to it. As long as Binzhou City strictly applies for it in strict accordance with the requirements of the Development and Reform Commission and conducts careful review according to the requirements of the environmental department, as long as it meets the requirements of the province, The provincial government firmly supports it.”

Li Wujiang scolded his mother in his heart, this Miao Chengyi was just speaking in an official tone. The situation involved in the gas refining integration project is very complicated, especially the procedures are complicated and involves multiple links and departments. If we follow Miao Chengyi's words and strictly follow the procedures, it is estimated that this project has not passed the Jining level. snatched away. But that's how it is now. The official level suppresses people. Even if Chen Baojia and Li Weiguo are willing to stand up for him, Miao Chengyi is telling the truth. They can't be allowed to use their power to suppress people. It seems that I still need to keep my mouth shut. "Governor Miao, you also know that this project is a new topic with a large scale and complex situations. Many of the contents are considered research and application. Therefore, there are some shortcomings in the application process. I hope you can understand it."

"Wujiang, for new projects, especially good projects, we support research and processing at the same time, but we can't do anything too hastily, so as not to leave problems that will be difficult to solve later." Miao Chengyi knew that he wanted to stop This project is impossible. After all, with such a large size, it is simply not something he can stop if he wants to. Now he just wants to teach Li Wujiang the rules. It was impossible to do things over him before, and it is even more impossible to do things over him now.

"Governor Miao, what you said makes sense. We must study it carefully. However, the competition for this project is very fierce. Now we in Jining Province have not obtained this entry qualification, let alone won this project. If we apply There has been a delay in this aspect, and I am worried that our Binzhou City will not be able to explain it to the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government in the future." Li Wujiang knew that Miao Chengyi's weakness was that he was not courageous enough. Unlike Cheng Haifa and Lu Wenming, they don't dare to act recklessly. Miao Chengyi had been the chief secretary for so many years and was very cautious in handling things, especially after the incidents of Cheng Haifa and Lu Wenming. Although he was promoted, he often still had to look at Li Weiguo's face.

How come Miao Chengyi couldn't hear what Li Wujiang said? He heard it too clearly and knew what Li Wujiang meant, so his expression changed at that time, but this Li Wujiang caught him and put him in a dilemma. "Of course I know what you are saying. We are all for the future development of Jining. In this way, you can connect with the comrades of the National Development and Reform Commission, promptly implement the rectifications according to the issues they raised, and then report them to the committee for study and decision."

"Okay, Governor Miao. I have delayed you for so long today. We have booked a table in Vienna tonight. Thank you for your support of our Binzhou."

Chapter 541 There is no good wine and no good banquet

"Wujiang, we are all our own people, you can keep these things. I have other plans for the evening."
