The pursuit of a position in officialdom

"Team Leader Li, Dongfang City has caused you trouble this time. We must treat you well tonight." Liu Yiyuan said.

"Mayor Liu, this is not a problem. We are leaving Dongfang City today. Now is the most critical period of the epidemic. I hope you can really think about the people and find ways to help them overcome the difficulties. This time, our inspection team will report the problems found in the inspection to you, and hope that you can rectify them according to the order." Li Wujiang also gave Dongfang City a chance. He didn't want to offend people too much.

"Team Leader Li, you have come here with great difficulty, so let us do our best to be a good host, and don't leave in a hurry."

"Mayor Liu, we are also busy with official business, and it is not convenient for us to stay in Dongfang City for a long time. Let's have a chance to get together again in the future."

Li Wujiang left with the comrades of the inspection team.

Chapter 586 Huayuan, back home

"Team Leader Wujiang, do you think Dongfang City will rectify and implement it?" Tan Jing asked.

"The rectification will definitely be carried out, but I don't know how to implement it."

"If they continue to do their own thing after we leave, then the superior's epidemic prevention policy will fail. This does not meet our work requirements."

"Director Tan, what you said may be a high-probability event. For local governments, economic development is profitable. Epidemic prevention is a costly matter, and their thinking has not changed. This requires continuous transmission and pressure."

"Oh, it seems that Team Leader Wujiang has a solution?"

"There is no good solution, but there is an old solution. That is to catch typical cases. If anyone insists on running into the muzzle of the gun, then it's embarrassing. Removal from office is not impossible." Li Wujiang said as he looked into the distance.

Tan Jing saw the domineering and unswerving spirit in Li Wujiang, which is the precious spirit of Li Wujiang.

"Then Team Leader Li, where are we going next?"

"Back to Huayuan."

When Li Wujiang returned to Huayuan, things had changed. It had been more than three years since he left Huayuan. This was his first time to Huayuan in an official capacity. There were many changes in personnel, but he also met some old acquaintances.

Unlike Dongfang City, the reception team in Huayuan was of high standard.

Fan Changlong, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary-General of Huayuan Province, and Shen Zhengyuan, Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, personally welcomed Li Wujiang, and Li Wujiang felt honored. The other comrades who came with Li Wujiang felt that this was a return to Li Wujiang's main battlefield.

"Team Leader Li, welcome back to Huayuan to guide the work." Fan Changlong was transferred from another province, and Li Wujiang was not familiar with him.

"Secretary-General Fan, thank you for your personal welcome." Li Wujiang also said with a smile.

"Wujiang, welcome home." Shen Zhengyuan gave Li Wujiang a hug. The two are old friends. Although they have rarely met in recent years, the two sides have always kept in touch. In recent years, Shen Zhengyuan has made rapid progress, with a change every year, and has reached a high position in a short time. Of course, there is still a gap between him and Li Wujiang. Li Wujiang is a dozen years younger than him, and now he is a full-time department-level cadre. One step further, he will be a senior cadre. Shen Zhengyuan looked at the changes in Li Wujiang and was happy for him in his heart.

"Brother Zhengyuan, I haven't seen you for two years. You are getting more and more energetic."

After a brief greeting, Fan Changlong and Shen Zhengyuan accompanied Li Wujiang to the provincial party committee.

"Team leader Wujiang, we have prepared the materials you want to see. Secretary Chu has gone down to supervise the epidemic prevention work. When he comes back in the evening, Secretary Chu will personally host a banquet for you."

"Secretary-General, this is really a trouble for the leaders. We just come to see the progress of the epidemic prevention and control work. There is no need to trouble Secretary Chu."

"You are not bothering us, we have to bother you. We know that you did a good job in epidemic prevention in Binzhou. You came here to teach us and send us treasures. We Huayuan people want to thank you."

Fan Changlong is very good at things. After a brief greeting, he left. Knowing that Shen Zhengyuan and Li Wujiang are old acquaintances, he created a separate space for the two of them.

"Wujiang, you are getting more and more promising now. You are now the pride of our Huayuan."

"Brother Zhengyuan, there are only two of us here, no outsiders. You don't have to flatter me. I have today, and I also want to thank you for your support." Li Wujiang said.

"You are wrong. It is not others who help you, but you rely on your own efforts to get to where you are now. Take epidemic prevention and control as an example. No one can compare to you, Li Wujiang. Only you can do this job." Shen Zhengyuan has always been concerned about Li Wujiang's path to progress. He knows that every step Li Wujiang takes is very solid. Although Li Wujiang is far away in Jining, he also knows that Li Wujiang's efforts in Jining can develop an ordinary city into a region where people compete to invest. This is not something that ordinary people can do. Li Wujiang was summoned to Beijing at a critical moment, and this was also because his epidemic prevention measures in Jining were recognized, so he could go to Beijing. "Brother Zhengyuan, I feel a little guilty about what you said. But in the face of the epidemic, everyone is responsible. We came to Huayuan this time to see the situation in Huayuan and understand how big the impact of the epidemic is on Huayuan."

"Wujiang, to tell you the truth, this epidemic has had a great impact on Huayuan. At the beginning, people didn't care. But then more and more people spread, and people died, and people started to get nervous. The more and more people started to get nervous. The more tension there is, the more chaotic the society will be. Fortunately, superiors have introduced static management requirements, which has reduced everyone’s mobility. Although it has had a great impact on production and operations, it has little impact on people’s lives. After all, every family now has food and is at home. Staying for a few days will not have much impact," Shen Zhengyuan explained.

"It seems that we in Huayuan have taken the lead. Now many regions have not fully understood the epidemic prevention policies of their superiors. They only complain and complain. As a result, both development and epidemic prevention are blind. Our current policy will not last long. , It’s just trading space for time. I hope that the treatment level and drug supply will be improved in various places in a short time, and our difficulties will be alleviated.”

"Wujiang, this is why you can come up with such bold opinions, which no one else would dare to imagine. This time you are in Huayuan, but you must give us good guidance and ask questions in a timely manner. Proposed."

"In other places, people don't want to ask questions, but when I go back to my hometown, you let me ask questions. This is everyone's attitude towards the epidemic. If everyone can respond positively, maybe many things can be solved. By the way, Brother Zhengyuan, I heard that the development of Huayuan Province has encountered a bottleneck in the past two years. "Li Wujiang is still concerned about the development of his hometown.

"Wujiang, it seems that your heart is still in Huayuan. If you were still in Huayuan, Huayuan's economy might be a different story."

"Brother Zhengyuan, you don't dare to say that. The development of a place cannot be decisive."

"You are a bit humble when you say this. Liuhe established a good foundation during your tenure and became the province's number one economically in these years. In the year when you were in charge of attracting investment, Nandu City's economy became the number one in the province. 2. When you arrive in Binzhou, I heard that it is just around the corner to surpass the provincial capital city. This is the charm of one person. As you said to me at the beginning, the biggest problem in Huayuan is that the leadership ideas are inconsistent. , This determines that Huayuan's development is in a swinging situation. "Shen Zhengyuan is still the same Shen Zhengyuan, and his words are still as sharp as ever.

Chapter 587 Talking about the road to Huayuan and giving guidance to the country

"Everyone can see these problems. Why can't the two leaders communicate well?"

"Wujiang, it's a bit childish for you to ask this question. Officialdom and politics have always been a life-and-death struggle." Shen Zhengyuan sighed.

While the two were talking, Feng Yun, Wang Gang and other old men knew that Li Wujiang was coming, so they all came to visit him. When these old people meet, they are inevitably sentimental.

"Team Leader Li, we all hope that you can return to Huayuan and lead us to fight." Feng Yun said emotionally.

Li Wujiang is also thinking that the epidemic is only temporary. Where will his next stop be? Will he return to Huayuan? If given another chance, he would definitely be willing to return to Huayuan.

Chu Donglai personally hosted a banquet for Li Wujiang and his party, which was a very high standard of treatment. Of course, only Li Wujiang was treated like this. This was because Li Wujiang had an intersection with Chu Donglai back then. Chu Donglai also admired Li Wujiang's financial ability.

"Wujiang, you can go home often when you have time. The people at home are always looking forward to your return." Chu Donglai said with a smile.

"Thank you, Secretary Chu, for the invitation. Huayuan is my home, and I will never forget it wherever I go. I am also very grateful to Secretary Chu for the warm hospitality."

"Wujiang, I sincerely entertain you. But I also have selfish motives. Firstly, I hope you can keep an eye on Huayuan's epidemic prevention work. Secondly, I hope you can keep an eye on Huayuan's economy."

"Secretary Chu, you think too highly of me. I don't have that ability. I am here just to learn what Huayuan has done well in epidemic prevention work, so that we can promote it across the country."

"Wujiang, don't be humble anymore. In our country, if you have to understand economics and development, you can be counted as one." Chu Donglai also knew Li Wujiang deeply. He also felt that Huayuan was currently in a passive situation. After all, as a provincial official, he certainly hoped that Huayuan could develop well, so he did not hesitate to lower his profile and ask Li Wujiang.

Li Wujiang saw that Chu Donglai was serious. He thought for a while and said, "Secretary Chu, our Huayuan is located in the Central Plains and has a large population. It has advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are convenient transportation and rich human resources; the disadvantages are poor resources and a large population. . As the saying goes, people succeed and people fail. Only by doing a good job in population can Huayuan truly survive."

What Li Wujiang said was very interesting, and everyone present listened with great energy. Especially when Tan Jing and Duan Dehai heard Li Wujiang talk about economics for the first time, they realized that Li Wujiang was indeed well-deserved. He could actually ask the secretary of the provincial party committee of a province to ask for advice in person, which showed that it was not easy.

"Wujiang, tell me how to do a good job on population?"

"More people are a burden, but more people are actually a resource. We often have the illusion that peacocks are flying to the southeast everywhere, and many young people have gone to the south to work. Why don't these young people stay in our province? , This is because we lack related industries. Now many leading cadres think that we need resources but not transportation advantages. I think it is wrong to think that we have a large population and no transportation advantages. You can choose intensive industries to invest in Huayuan, such as toy factories, electronic processing factories, clothing factories and other enterprises. Sooner or later, coastal areas will also experience industrial saturation. At this time, we need to proactively coordinate industrial transfers. Whoever takes advantage of the first mover advantage will win. You can take the initiative.”

"Wujiang, what you said is really enlightening. Nowadays, many places are pursuing manufacturing and high-tech industries, but you have opened up another path. If you can return to Huayuan, maybe you can help the people of Huayuan. Fortunately." Chu Donglai said with emotion.

"Advanced manufacturing and high-tech industries are indeed very promising, but this needs to be done within one's ability. When the local economy develops to a certain level and has a certain strength, these industries can be developed. After all, these industries are relatively resilient and have strong follow-up support. "

We had a great meal that night, and everyone got to know Li Wujiang again.

Li Wujiang conducts epidemic prevention inspection in Huayuan. Zheng Guangyao is worrying about Zheng Xiaohu.

"Minister Yang, are you free tonight? I'll treat you to a drink." Zheng Guangyao called Yang Lixin.

Of course Yang Lixin knew Zheng Guangyao's intentions. The medicine warehouse in Dongjiao Min Lane belonged to Zheng Guangyao's son. If you drink this meal, you will do something for him. If you don't drink this drink, you will offend Zheng Guangyao. This matter is now a hot potato, leaving people in a dilemma. He thought for a while and said, "Secretary Zheng, I appreciate your kindness. I really want to drink wine. But you also know that we are in the midst of an epidemic and have to be on call at any time. If you drink again, it will ruin your work. This drink counts." I owe it to you. When the epidemic is dispelled, I will treat you to a drink."

Of course Zheng Guangyao heard Yang Lixin's refusal, but at this time even if Yang Lixin refused, he would still fight for Zheng Xiaohu with a shameful face. "Minister Yang, you are absolutely right. It seems that the leadership of the department is more aware. Since the epidemic prevents everyone from going out to drink, I will talk about the matter directly. Minister Yang still needs more help with the matters in Dongjiao Min Lane. I know This incident has put the ministry in a difficult position. I think we should punish those who deserve it. Can we, in the name of encouraging the development of enterprises, allow the enterprises to operate normally after the punishment?”

Yang Lixin didn't expect that Zheng Guangyao would really offend someone if he didn't express his words at this time. "Secretary Zheng, we are all old friends. I put the matter you mentioned before, and I took care of it without saying a word. But now that the epidemic is in progress, many people are watching how to handle this matter. But since you said it, Secretary Zheng, we will consider this matter as appropriate."

"Okay, thank you, Minister Yang. I asked the driver Xiao Zhang to deliver some specialties to your downstairs. This is my sincere wish." After saying this, Zheng Guangyao hung up the phone. He knows that trusting others to do things and relying on words will not work at all. The key is to have good relationships.

Li Wujiang led the team to wander outside for more than ten days, and finally set off back to Beijing. Why was he in such a hurry to return to Beijing? That was because he learned about the incident in Dongjiao Minxiang, and the industrial and commercial department planned to handle it lightly. If they are allowed to do this, the epidemic prevention policy will become a joke in the future. In order to ensure that these epidemic prevention policies were implemented, Li Wujiang also went to great lengths and asked Fang Shuxin to further report and put pressure. In addition, he wanted to talk to the leaders.

"Wujiang, you are finally back. I thought you would stay at home when you went to Beijing to work, but I didn't expect that your current job is the same as in Jining." Although Fang Shuxin complained, she felt more distressed.

Chapter 588: The evil will not suppress the good, but will be ruthless

"There is no way. I was born to work hard. I will go wherever the leader needs me. If you hurry up and help implement the things I tell you, I don't believe you can't shake this big tree."

"Wujiang, why are you doing this? You should know by now how deep the water in the capital is. Even if the evidence is in front of you, many things may not be able to be solved."

"I don't believe that evil can defeat good. As long as I serve the people wholeheartedly, I don't believe that there will be things that can't be done."

"Lao Yang, regarding the case in Dongjiao Min Lane, do you plan to handle it?"

"Minister Guan, we plan to impose penalties in accordance with regulations. After the penalty, these drugs will be returned to the dealers. After all, this is their property." Yang Lixin said.

"Lao Yang, I think you don't understand the public opinion outside. Look at what the newspapers say. It's speculation that this batch of medicines has incomplete procedures. If you want to return this batch of medicines at this time, you are asking us to The higher-ups have given instructions to get to the bottom of this situation and punish those involved in troubled times. "

Yang Lixin's plan to help Zheng Guangyao also came to nothing. The leaders above emphasized that this matter should be used to catch an example. Now no matter who pleads for mercy, they can't escape.

Opinions came for Zheng Xiaohu Pharmaceutical Company, confiscating all goods and imposing a fine of one million. Several pharmaceutical companies were also dealt with.

Li Wujiang asked the media to report the incident extensively and print out the relevant penalty documents. This high-intensity suppression has formed a severe deterrent to the lower levels. Many people began to restrain themselves, and the situation of price gouging in the pharmaceutical industry has improved.

At the same time, companies represented by Changting and Huadong Medicine Company began to raise funds and support the epidemic prevention and control work in a high-profile manner.

However, Zheng Xiaohu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Not only did he lose all his money, but he was also exposed by the media. He is now a rat crossing the street and everyone is shouting and beating him.

"Mr. Zhou, the loss is tens of millions. I really can't bear it. I must take revenge." Zheng Xiaohu is now very crazy.

"Xiaohu, your heart is bleeding, and so am I. We must take revenge for this. And I have also found our enemy." Zhou Changyuan said.

Zheng Xiaohu heard that Zhou Changyuan found out who framed them, which made him very excited at this time. "Mr. Zhou, tell me who it is? I'll go over and beat up this turtle bastard right now."

"Xiaohu, you have to calm down. This person is very powerful and well-known now. It's a bit difficult to find him and take revenge."

"Mr. Zhou, are you kidding me? Is there anyone in Beijing that scares you?" Zheng Xiaohu was provoking Zhou Changyuan.

"Who am I afraid of? It's just that this matter is more difficult at the moment. I found out about Changting Media, which exposed our Dongjiao Minxiang Medicine Storehouse. You should have heard of Changting Media. Now the boss of the industry, its behind-the-scenes boss is Fang Shuxin. Fang Shuxin, you should know whose wife it is?" Zhou Changyuan still has his own channels. It is not difficult to find the shadow of Changting Media from these details. However, when he knew who was behind the operation, he was indeed a little scared at the first time.

"You are talking about Li Wujiang, why is it this plague god again? We have no grudge against him, why do they always target us? Not only did they steal my girlfriend, but now they are trying to steal my business." Zheng Xiaohu himself gritted his teeth in hatred for Li Wujiang, and now it was Li Wujiang again, which made him hate him even more.

"I understand that Li Wujiang was transferred back from Jining specifically to deal with the epidemic prevention and control. Beijing City saw that he dared to bite people like a vicious dog, and it is not easy to deal with him now." Zhou Changyuan wanted to deal with Li Wujiang the most, but he has not yet figured out how to deal with Li Wujiang.

"Since it doesn't work openly, then we will do it secretly. I don't believe that he can only blame him for being hit by a car when he goes out." Zheng Xiaohu said viciously.

"Li Group, by cracking down on dealers who drive up prices, the market situation in our country has improved during this period. During this period, the pharmaceutical market has experienced a stable transition." Duan Dehai was still very happy in his heart. After all, after the epidemic prevention and control measures were in place, although the economy in many places was affected to a certain extent, the people were already stable overall, and the unstable factors in the society were greatly reduced.
