The pursuit of a position in officialdom

"Governor Tan, I would like to explain a few words about the concealment of reports. Where the accident occurred, Fangcheng County reported the death toll to the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government Office. After asking Fangcheng County, the Municipal Government Office learned that this was reported by Dongyang Mining Company The city government office reported the number reported by Fangcheng County. There was no deliberate concealment by our city government.”

"Oh, so you are saying that the responsibility lies with Fangcheng County, and your city government is not responsible?"

"Governor Tan, that's not what I meant. The municipal government office failed to verify clearly, and the Municipal Work Safety Bureau and other departments also failed to perform their duties properly."

"Mayor Shang, you just want to shirk responsibility for simply failing to perform your duties. I think the provincial party committee and the provincial government will not be satisfied, and the people of Dongyang City will not agree. If such a big accident happens, media reporters We all know it, but your city leaders don’t know it yet. This question is thought-provoking. Mayor Shang, it’s not that I’m embarrassing you, but that as the mayor of a city, you still have to shoulder your responsibilities. "

"Governor Tan, I will definitely shoulder the responsibilities that belong to me and will never refuse. I wonder what the province plans to do with us?"

"Mayor Shang, as for how to deal with it in the end, that is a matter for later. The most important thing at the moment is to deal with this mining accident first."

Shang Yang has also worked at the grassroots level for many years, and he still has political sensitivity. Through this conversation, he had a bad feeling. Originally he thought he would be punished, but after this conversation, the punishment for him may be more severe than imagined. He knows the relationship between Fan Zhendong and Tan Chengxu. If Tan Chengxu comes, he may protect Fan Zhendong and he will become an abandoned son. After working in Dongyang for so many years, he still heard about Dongyang Mining Company and knew that many people were involved in this company. It's just that some things can't be brought to the table. He also felt that there was something fishy about the concealment of the mining accident, but he really had no relevant evidence now.

At this time, Shang Yang knew that he needed to find connections if he wanted to escape. At this time, he thought of Ding Zhongping and Li Wujiang. He has dealt with Ding Zhongping a lot in recent years, but since Ding Zhongping is not a member of the Standing Committee, he has much less say. Li Wujiang is now a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and is highly valued by the leaders. If Li Wujiang can help him say a word, it will be life-saving for him. Although they had a good relationship with Li Wujiang when they first worked together, after all, they have lost contact over the years. Isn’t it a bit sudden to suddenly ask Li Wujiang for help now? It seems that we still have to go through Ding Zhongping first, hoping that he can help pull the strings.

Bianzhou City will openly select top cadres at the county and division levels, which is like rain for Bianzhou cadres who still have a personnel freeze.

"Maolin, your opportunity has come. Last time you failed in the competition for secretary, this is a good opportunity for you. You can be directly promoted to the director level. Not only the rank is solved, but the position is also solved." Director of the General Affairs Department Zhang Hongbo said.

Tian Maolin was still a little bit upset about not running for Li Wujiang's secretary last time. This sudden wave of benefits made him eager to try. This campaign restricted age, education and level, and it looked like it was tailor-made for him. "This is indeed a good opportunity, but for such a good opportunity, competition will be fierce."

"The age limit is under forty-five, and the academic qualifications are limited to a bachelor's degree or above. Not many people in Bianzhou meet the requirements. Just apply boldly. Maybe Secretary Li has taken a fancy to you. He deliberately put you The purpose of putting it aside is to let you show off your talents in the county. "

Tian Maolin was a little moved by these words, but this was indeed an opportunity, and he must seize this opportunity.

Li Wujiang didn't care about this matter. Song Changgong invited him over to discuss the railway, highway and air transportation hub in the western district of the city. Regardless of whether railways, highways, or aviation are major projects, project approval requires approval from the Beijing Ministry of Transport and the Aviation Center.

"Secretary Li, just now Secretary Liu Sen reported to me about the construction of a national comprehensive railway hub in Chengxi District. I thought it was a big deal, so I called Mayor Da Dong over, and let's listen to Secretary Liu Sen's report together. "

"Okay, nothing happens right now, so I'll join in the fun and listen."

Liu Sen had told Li Wujiang in advance that he wanted to report to him on the specific methods, but it was Li Wujiang who asked him to report to Song Changgong, and he found Song Changgong. At this moment, he saw that Li Wujiang was unwilling to tell the truth, so he didn't mention it. According to his own ideas, he made a detailed report on the construction of a national comprehensive railway hub.

"Secretary Li, Mayor Song, and Mayor Zhang, as the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first. With the development of the economy, transportation has become particularly important. Whoever can seize the opportunity in this wave of transportation construction will be able to build roads first." Huge opportunity to win in the future.”

Chapter 744 It’s so frustrating to have no money

"I think what Secretary Liu Sen said is very reasonable. Our Bianzhou is in the central position of the country and has formed two major railway transportation arteries, one vertical and one horizontal. However, these two arteries cannot meet the development needs of passenger flow and logistics in Huayuan Province. On this basis, we must extend to the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest. The construction of infrastructure will not only meet the needs of transportation, but also drive the development of related industries, which is an opportunity for the development of Bianzhou. "Song Changgong is now very thirsty for knowledge about the project.

"Mayor Song, whether it is a railway project or the construction of an airport, it requires a lot of investment. Although part of the funds will be allocated by the higher-level transportation department, the local finance still needs to match related funds. This is not a small amount. With our current situation in Bianzhou Financially speaking, there is simply no way to support such a large project. "Zhang Dadong is in charge of finance and has a clear understanding of Bianzhou's financial situation. Now whoever asks him for money is coming to cut his flesh.

Song Changgong became dejected when he heard what Zhang Dadong said. "It's hard for a good woman to make a living without rice. Without money, it's really frustrating. Faced with great development opportunities, how could we miss it like this."

Liu Sen saw that the two leaders were a little frustrated. At this time, he knew what to say, so he turned his attention to Li Wujiang.

Li Wujiang happened to look at him as well. Li Wujiang said, "Liu Sen, since you have put forward such an outline and idea, you must have thought of the difficulties you will encounter. Do you have any good solutions to these difficulties?"

"Secretary Li, for such a large project, we must first rely on finance, secondly rely on appropriation, and thirdly rely on loans. We can achieve financing through loans."

Li Wujiang discovered more and more that Liu Sen was a capable person and a daredevil person. For this kind of cadre, if the energy is used in the right place, it will be of great help to the work. If it is used in the wrong place, it will be in big trouble.

"Liu Sen, you are thinking too simply about loan financing. Don't take it for granted what kind of loans we in Bianzhou rely on and what kind of loans we take."

Liu Sen was embarrassed to speak after Executive Vice Mayor Zhang Dadong told him.

At this time, Li Wujiang said, "This idea is generally good, which shows that our comrades are still attentive and have a forward-looking vision. As the saying goes, those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region, and those who do not plan for the world are not enough to plan for one life. For some big We must dare to think about the project. Only when we dare to think can we dare to do it. I think we will take the lead in two steps. The first step will be led by the Municipal Transportation Bureau and combined with the planning of Chengxi District to come up with the overall plan of Bianzhou City. Transportation planning, and then proactively contact the Provincial Department of Transportation to gain support from the Provincial Committee and Provincial Government. The second step is to solve the financing problem after the project is established. It’s not difficult. We can set up a transportation investment company and use our existing transportation assets as collateral to obtain loans. We believe that transportation infrastructure investment will be a hot topic in the next few years and this form of financing will gradually become popular.”

"Okay, then do what Secretary Li said. We plan first and establish projects first. We will solve the funding problem slowly. But Secretary Li, there are still two people missing from the municipal government team. The deputy mayor in charge of transportation is still there. The absence will seriously affect the progress of the work, and I hope Secretary Li will report it to the provincial party committee.”

"Okay, I will report to the provincial party committee. However, we should start with the transportation matters first. The municipal party committee can also ask Secretary-General Tang to assist."

Li Wujiang returned to Nandu again, this time as the leader of the provincial party committee. He originally planned to go directly to Liuhe to participate in the event, but Tong Quanming felt sorry for Li Wujiang about the last banquet, so he went to the provincial capital to invite Li Wujiang, hoping that he could go to Nandu City in advance and visit various places in Nandu. Li Wujiang couldn't stand Tong Quanming's persuasion, and he also wanted to take a closer look at his place of work. Li Wujiang needs to register with the provincial party committee to participate in local activities. Although filing was very simple, Li Wujiang still followed the rules.

Originally, Tong Quanming wanted to accompany Li Wujiang back to Nandu City, but Li Wujiang refused. If this spreads out, some people will gossip and say that Li Wujiang is acting like a big name. Tong Quanming also knew the meaning, so he didn't insist.

However, Tong Quanming still led all the team members to wait for Li Wujiang at the gate of the Nandu Municipal Party Committee compound.

"Secretary Li, welcome to Nandu City to guide the work." Tong Quanming welcomed Li Wujiang with a smile.

Li Wujiang looked at the Nandu Municipal Party Committee team. There were familiar people and unfamiliar people. Looking at the municipal party committee and government compound behind them, he felt a lot. Although I have not worked here for a long time, I have spent my youth here.

"Secretary Tong, I am going back to my second hometown to see you. Everyone is so enthusiastic."

"Secretary Li, you have made a great contribution to Nandu City. The people of Nandu cannot be too enthusiastic about you. Secretary Li, come to the conference room and we will report to you the results of Nandu City's work in recent years."

Due to time constraints, after the simple symposium, Tong Quanming accompanied Li Wujiang to visit Nandu Medicine, Nandu Home Appliances, and Nandu Textile.

Liu Fengmei and Yan Yaoqing knew that Li Wujiang was going back to Nandu Pharmaceutical for a visit, so they had already led thousands of employees to hold banners and flags at the entrance of Nandu Pharmaceutical. The employees held flowers and expressed a warm welcome to Li Wujiang.

"Boss Fengmei, there is no need to engage in such a big battle. I just came back to take a look and learn from Nandu City."

"Secretary Li, this is not organized by the company, this is a spontaneous behavior of the employees. Everyone is very excited when they know you are coming back. They insist on coming to see you." Liu Fengmei was also very excited when she spoke. If it weren't for Li Wujiang, Nandu Medicine wouldn't be where it is today, and Liu Fengmei wouldn't be where it is today. Now that he has chosen the right path with Changting Company, he has not only found a development path for the company, but also chosen a path for herself.

"Mr. Yan, it's been a while since I last saw you. You are becoming more and more mature now."

Li Wujiang held Yan Yaoqing's hand tightly. When Li Wujiang's hand touched Yan Yaoqing, the girl's face turned slightly red. But she quickly covered it up. The person she is now is no longer the person she was then. She has become the Royal Sister Director.

"Secretary Li, welcome back. All employees of Nandu Pharmaceutical Company miss you very much."

Li Wujiang visited the workshops and factories. Then another staff meeting was held in the conference room. Some old staff were very excited to see Li Wujiang and held Li Wujiang's hand tightly and were unwilling to let go. Li Wujiang also felt very deeply at this time. Serving as an official for one term would benefit one party.

Chapter 745 Returning to Nandu, a good secretary of the people

As long as an official does some small things for the people, they will remember it in their hearts and remember their gratitude. Therefore, he believes that officials are very powerful. As long as they think about the people in their hearts and do something for these people, they will be very satisfied.

"Secretary Li, all the employees of Nandu Medicine would like to thank you. Without you, we would not have the good life we ​​have today. You are the great savior of our Nandu Medicine." said an old employee of Nandu Medicine.

Li Wujiang just said some simple words of encouragement and left.

"Secretary Li, your prestige is very high in Nandu. Those of us who are latecomers must learn from you." Tong Quanming accompanied Li Wujiang for a long time to investigate. He also felt deeply. Unexpectedly, when Li Wujiang arrived, he would be warmly welcomed by everyone. He, the municipal party committee secretary, does not receive such treatment. This made him envious and ashamed.

"This is because everyone praises me. You put me up so high. It's difficult for me to think about it. You are doing the work in Nandu City, and the people support it, which means you are doing a good job. Governor Ding, what? The time has come?”

"Almost there. He said he would be there before the dinner started. Secretary Li, please come to my office for some tea first." Tong Quanming invited.

Ding Zhongping finally arrived at the beginning of the dinner. "Secretary Wujiang, I'm sorry, there is a meeting in the province today, so I came a little late. I told Secretary Quanming that I will not attend this grand event this year. Secretary Wujiang returns to his hometown this year, and this is your main battlefield. Just let them entertain you," Ding Zhongping said politely.

"Governor Ding, you are just being polite. You have put in the most effort in Nandu City. Secretary Tong is right to invite you. You are the most qualified. If you don't come, the rest of us will not dare to come. "

"Old Tong, look at Secretary Wujiang still respecting old comrades like me. Well, it's not easy for us old people to get together. For today's dinner, we would like to thank Secretary Quan Ming for his kind invitation." Ding Zhong Ping has worked in Nandu for more than ten years and is also affectionate, so he will attend events in the past few years as scheduled.

"Yes, we should thank Secretary Tong for letting us raise a toast together." Li Wujiang also suggested.

The banquet ended in a warm atmosphere. Li Wujiang originally wanted to go for a walk, but was stopped by Ding Zhongping halfway. The two of them returned to Li Wujiang's room together.

"Governor Ding, I came back for a walk this time and took a look. The development of Nandu has changed a lot. It seems that you have done a lot of work over the years since I have been here."

"Secretary Wujiang, at least half of this is due to you. Without the state-owned enterprise restructuring and investment promotion you promoted, Nandu will be completely different now. You haven't returned to Liuhe County in so many years, right? You will definitely go back this time. You will be surprised. The current economic development of Liuhe County is better than that of some cities. Nandu City has been able to develop so fast in recent years because of its unswerving support for the development of Liuhe County. It has led to the development of surrounding counties.”

"Yes, I feel even more timid when I'm close to my hometown. I haven't been back to Liuhe for so many years, and I do miss her a lot."

"Secretary Wujiang, Comrade Shang Yang, do you still remember?" Ding Zhongping changed the subject and suddenly mentioned Shang Yang.

"Of course I remember. When he was in Nandu City, he was the Organization Minister and was very supportive of our work in Liuhe County."

"Comrade Shang Yang, he did a good job in Nandu City and was later promoted to the mayor of Dongyang City. He has also been dedicated and diligent in these years. He knows that you are back and wants to get together with you to report on your work. "

Li Wujiang knew that there was no good banquet, and the food in the world was not that delicious. Wherever there is right and wrong in Dongyang nowadays, an investigation team leader will compete with each other. You can imagine the intrigues in between. But Ding Zhongping said that he couldn't directly discredit him. "Governor Ding, it's a good thing for old comrades to get together."

"Okay, I'll talk to Shang Yang then. I'll let you know the specific settlement time. Secretary Wujiang, what do you think of Dongyang's affairs?" Ding Zhongping was entrusted by Shang Yang to check out Li Wujiang's place first.

"To be honest, many leaders asked me about Dongyang. Governor Ding, you are my old leader, and you are familiar with my situation. Although I am from Huayuan, I spend most of my working time in Nandu City. This I have just returned to Huayuan, and I really don’t know much about what happened in Dongyang City. If you have to ask me what I think, the relevant departments are responsible for causing so many deaths. You and I both know that. Now the senior management of the capital has issued instructions. To put it bluntly, the responsibility is now to be investigated. As for how to pursue the investigation, it depends on the investigation results of the investigation team. "

"Someone told me that the investigation by the provincial party committee's investigation team was unfair."

Li Wujiang was surprised when Ding Zhongping suddenly said this, but at the same time, he was not surprised. He was wondering what Ding Zhongping meant by this. Did the investigation team want Shang Yang to take the blame? "My suggestion is that if you think the investigation team's investigation is unfair, then collect evidence and report it to the provincial party committee leaders through formal channels."

"Okay, Secretary Wujiang, Huayuan is no longer the Huayuan of the past. But now that you are back, I believe Huayuan will change."

"Governor Ding, no matter what others do, you know me. Doing good things for the people and doing things for the people to promote the rapid and sound development of the economy is my mission. By the way, Governor Ding, we want to build a national transportation hub in Bianzhou. Bianzhou has become a hub, and Huayuan has become the center. You are in charge of transportation work, and I hope you can support it more."

"Okay, as long as it is for the development of Huayuan, I support it. Our Huayuan's transportation is indeed backward. Recently, there are several railway and aviation projects in Beijing. When the time comes, you can arrange people and everyone will go to Beijing to connect."

Li Wujiang, Ding Zhongping, and Tong Quanming drove to Liuhe County early in the morning. However, now the Nanliu Expressway has been opened to traffic. Now it only takes half an hour to get from Nandu to Liuhe.

On the expressway, Li Wujiang saw that Liuhe County was full of high-rise buildings, which had the style of a big city.

"Secretary Tong, Liuhe has really changed a lot in recent years. The tall buildings here have caught up with the cities on the eastern coast." Li Wujiang sighed.

"Liuhe County has developed and changed a lot in recent years. Its economic output has ranked first in the province for many consecutive years. Education, people's livelihood, and rural environment have been greatly improved. Many people call Liuhe the Xiangjiang of the mainland. It is the improvement of various environments in Liuhe County that has attracted a lot of outsiders."

After getting off the highway, Li Wujiang was directly shocked, because he saw that the highway intersection was full of people, holding banners and shouting loudly to warmly welcome Secretary Li home.

Chapter 746 Gratitude, Thanks

Li Wujiang's eyes were also filled with tears when he saw this scene. He took the initiative to get out of the car and waved to the people of Liuhe. Fortunately, there were many police officers maintaining order, otherwise the scene would be out of control. Li Wujiang was worried that he would stay too long and cause congestion at the highway exit, so he called the two people who greeted him, Liuhe County Party Committee Secretary Chang Yafei and County Mayor Song Fei, to get in the car, and then drove away.

"Yafei, what's going on? Why are so many people being organized to come to the highway to pick you up?" Li Wujiang asked seriously.

Chang Yafei said with a wry smile, "Secretary Li, this is really not organized by our government department. Instead, the people of Liuhe County knew you were coming back, and they came here spontaneously. When I received this information in the morning, I was worried about something going wrong, so I sent more police. Look, all along the road are people from Liuhe." Chang Yafei pointed out the window.

Li Wujiang looked out, and sure enough, there were people all along the way. Some people were holding banners, some were holding flags, and some even took out Li Wujiang's head portrait. This was more shocking than the scene in Nandu yesterday.

Ding Zhongping sat in the car, and his heart was also unsettled for a long time. He had been in Nandu for so many years, and he had never been treated like this. Li Wujiang had been working in Liuhe for two or three years, but he received such high courtesy. This may be the gap. Although he was envious, he didn't have a trace of jealousy.

"Okay, you need to arrange enough police force to maintain order at the scene. It's quite hot this day, you need to arrange government staff and volunteers to distribute some mineral water to these citizens, don't let them get heat stroke."

"Okay Secretary Li, I'll arrange it now."

Song Fei hasn't seen Li Wujiang for a long time. When he went to Bianzhou to invite Li Wujiang, he originally planned to go, but he didn't go because of other work. Although he didn't work as a secretary for Li Wujiang for a long time, he remembered to visit Li Wujiang's parents every year for so many years, and sent messages to Li Wujiang during festivals and New Years. This is a friendship. "Secretary Song, welcome home."

"Song Fei, I haven't seen you for a few years. Now you are also the county magistrate. Not bad, not bad. You should thank Governor Ding and Secretary Tong for your training." Li Wujiang said with a smile.
