The pursuit of a position in officialdom

"Wujiang, I will say a few words for him about this matter, but the key is to see how serious his crime is."

Zhang Changsheng reminded Li Wujiang that the key now is to suppress Liu Yuan's matter. If the public security organs do not deal with it, this matter will be easy to handle.

After Li Wujiang thanked Zhang Changsheng, he hung up the phone. He immediately called Du Youfa and asked him to help suppress this matter first. He immediately rushed to Nandu City.

After Du Youfa agreed. Li Wujiang immediately ended his visit and asked Ning Xiaowei to take him and Dong Bin to Nandu City.

"Secretary, did something happen?"

Li Wujiang told Dong Bin about Liu Yuan's matter. Dong Bin listened and widened his eyes. The deputy county magistrate of a county actually had this matter. This was not a big deal, and it was just settled, but it was exposed.

"Then Secretary, what should we do next?" Dong Bin is someone close to Li Wujiang. Knowing that Liu Yuan had something against Li Wujiang, Li Wujiang didn't want to pay attention to him, thinking that Li Wujiang probably wouldn't help him.

"Liu Yuan is a cadre of Liuhe County anyway, and we can't let the cadres of Liuhe County lose face outside." Li Wujiang sighed.

When he arrived at the Qianjie Police Station in Nandu City, Du Youfa was waiting for him there. Li Wujiang didn't get out of the car, but asked Du Youfa to get in.

"Wujiang, let's go to the police station in Qianjie and sit down."

"I've lost my face in Nandu City, how can I still sit down in the police station? I'm going to let people point at my back and laugh at me. Okay, let's not talk about this. How could Liu Yuan get into this trouble? Logically, he worked with Secretary Fang, and the public security personnel in Nandu City knew him. How could he get to this point?"

"This kid is too arrogant. I heard from the director of the police station that Liu Yuan drank too much last night and was very arrogant. After beating someone, the police on duty wanted to help mediate, but he spoke wildly in the police station, saying that he knew this and that, and didn't take the police on duty seriously, so he ignored him and reported his situation."

"This guy drank some cat urine and didn't know who he was. Let him stay in jail for two days and reflect on himself." Li Wujiang really hated him for not being able to make up for his shortcomings.

"Okay, I'll ask the director to lock him up for two days."

"Okay, I'm just saying this out of anger. After all, he's a cadre of Liuhe County, and we'll deal with him behind closed doors when we return to Liuhe. How about what I asked you to do?"

"It was just a fight between two people, and the other party wasn't seriously injured, so just pay some money."

"Okay, I'll arrange for Dong Bin to go with you, and you can ask both parties to reach a settlement agreement, and we'll pay whatever money should be paid. Solve it as soon as possible, and let him get out, and don't embarrass me in there."

Du Youfa and Dong Bin went in, and Li Wujiang waited in the car for about half an hour before Liu Yuan and the others came out.

Liu Yuan was sober at this time, and knew that he had made a big deal. He apologized to Li Wujiang in a crying voice. "Secretary Li, I'm sorry, I got you into trouble. I know I was wrong."

Chapter 215: One step back, a bottomless abyss

Looking at Liu Yuan's tears, Li Wujiang couldn't criticize him anymore. They were all grown men, so why bother doing this.

"Liu Yuan, you are still young. It is not terrible for people to make mistakes. What is terrible is that they do not know where they exist, and what is terrible is that they know their mistakes but do not repent. You should wash yourself well, and then let Director Dong take you to Secretary Xiao to admit your mistakes in person." Li Wujiang did everything he could for Liu Yuan. Xiao Shenke, secretary of the Nandu Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, was promoted by Fang Hongwei, and he believed that Xiao Shenke would give Liu Yuan a chance.

"Thank you, Secretary Li." Liu Yuan's eyes were now without spirit, like a defeated soldier.

Li Wujiang got into Du Youfa's car and left. Ning Xiaowei was left holding Liu Yuan and Dong Bin.

"Wujiang, you are still too kind." Du Youfa knew that Li Wujiang was a person who valued feelings and was a person who protected his children.

"Youfa, it's not easy for anyone to get to this point. Many people are watching us make mistakes. If we take a step back, we will fall off a cliff, so we have no choice but to move forward. On our way forward, many people will follow us, and we can't ask them to be like us. When they are at a critical moment, we can help them if we can."

"You have been in the officialdom for a long time, and it seems that you have seen through many things in the officialdom."

"What if you see through it? Even if you see through it, you have to step on the mines that should be stepped on. Let's go, brothers, have a drink and thank you for your help."

Li Wujiang drank a lot of wine in the evening. He fell asleep quietly in Li Guixiang's arms.

Liu Yuan returned to Liuhe County soon. Although he was not detained, his image was still damaged, and he was finally punished.

After Liu Yuan came back, no cadre dared to talk to him. Liu Yuan originally wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk and take the initiative to admit his mistakes. Who knew that Li Wujiang went to Beijing.

Li Wujiang returned to Beijing because Li Jun's interview made him valued by Beijing. Lu Donghui personally called him and asked him to return to Beijing. It just so happens that he can take care of both work and private life and go home to visit.

When he got home, he saw Fang Shuxin's belly starting to show. Li Wujiang touched Fang Shuxin's belly and said, "Baby, let me talk to you."

Fang Shuxin was happy for him when she saw Li Wujiang's cute side.

"Wife, you've worked hard."

"Husband, I'm not working hard. Look, you don't let me do any work now. I'm going crazy."

"Wife, you're the baby of our family now. You have to obey everything. It's most important to take good care of your body. When you're free, you can go out for a walk."

Fang Shuxin also looked helpless. Li Wujiang personally cooked a few dishes for her, which made Fang Shuxin very happy.

At night, the two of them lay on the same bed. Since Fang Shuxin got pregnant, she had a strong need for sex. When Li Wujiang was not around, she often had erotic dreams, which made her a little embarrassed. So when Li Wujiang came back, how could she let him go.

Li Wujiang came to Lu Donghui's office under the guidance of Lu Donghui's secretary.

"Hello, Director Lu."

"Comrade Wujiang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Come and sit down. Drink some tea I made first." Lu Donghui reached a higher level and became more gentle.

"Thank you, Director Lu."

"Don't be restrained, this is not like you. I invited you to Beijing this time just to listen to your idea of ​​sharing the fruits of development with the people and see what unique ideas you have." Lu Donghui looked at Li Wujiang and said, this kid always gives people surprises. When he was in Huayuan, it was this kid who kept coming up with strange tricks.

"Secretary Lu, the idea of ​​people sharing the fruits of development is also extracted from the concept of national development. It is not my original idea. Common prosperity is the requirement of our national system and an important feature of our country's modernization. At present, with the continuous development of the national economy, employment, medical care, education, housing and other issues cannot meet the needs of the people. The gap between the east and the middle and the west, the gap between urban and rural areas, the gap between the rich and the poor families, and the gap between the rich and the poor are also widening, and social contradictions are constantly erupting. We must start from the problems that the people generally pay attention to, strongly reflect, and recur, and come up with more reform and innovation measures to solve the problems of employment, education, medical care, housing, elderly care, food safety, and social security one by one. We must promote the common prosperity of all people as the focus of seeking happiness for the people. We must insist on development for the people, development relying on the people, and the fruits of development shared by the people, make more effective institutional arrangements, and always take the people's yearning for a better life as the goal of struggle."

Lv Donghui also fell into deep thought after listening to Li Wujiang's words. Li Wujiang spoke very well and was very theoretical, especially when talking about the gaps between various regions and groups. In fact, the central government also saw the problem. The key is how to solve the problem.

"Wujiang, you said it very well, but we will definitely encounter various problems in the process of development. We need to solve these problems in the process of development. What specific measures do you have?"

"If we don't let one family suffer from the cold, the world will be warm. The people's pursuit is not high, that is, to have enough food, warm clothes, a place to live, and to see a doctor when they are sick. As long as these needs of the people are met, the people will be very satisfied. So the first step we have to do now is to ensure the basics and protect the bottom line of people's livelihood. Establish a care service system for the rural poor and a medical insurance system for patients in difficulties; promote the employment of migrant workers in cities and expand employment channels. Solve the pain points and difficulties of people's livelihood. Build low-rent housing and affordable housing, stabilize housing prices, so that everyone has a house to live in; establish nursing homes and childcare institutions to ensure that migrant workers can work with peace of mind. Of course, when our country's economy develops to a certain level, we can gradually cancel agricultural taxes, implement free compulsory education, and universal medical insurance, so that people can feel the superiority of social development."

Li Wujiang looked up and saw that Lu Donghui was listening attentively, so Li Wujiang boldly continued to say one more sentence. He hoped that what he said more could help the country's development take fewer detours.

"Marxism emphasizes balanced development, harmonious development, free development, and full development in terms of the all-round development of human beings. On the one hand, shared development requires all-round sharing in all areas of economic and social development, solving the imbalance and disharmony in economic and social development in the process of high-quality development, effectively improving people's living standards and realizing high-quality sharing of public services, truly sharing the achievements of economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological construction, and constantly meeting the people's growing needs in terms of fairness, justice, democracy, rule of law, security, and environment; on the other hand, shared development requires full sharing of all links of economic and social development, guaranteeing the people's equal rights to participate in social life, safeguarding the fair opportunities for economic entities to participate in economic development, and constantly meeting the people's growing needs in education, medical care, culture, sports, health, and elderly care."

Chapter 216: Don't forget your original intention, and you will always be able to achieve success

"Okay, Wujiang. I used to think that you were very specific in your work, with methods and measures. Now it seems that your theoretical level is also very high. How about it, do you want to come to work here?"

Lv Donghui asked very suddenly, and Li Wujiang was not mentally prepared at all. The Planning Commission is a very high platform, a unit that takes charge of the country's economic development, and being able to display his ambitions is a great temptation for Li Wujiang. But after thinking for a while, he said, "Director Lu, thank you for your trust in me. The Planning Commission is a high platform that coordinates the overall development of the country. I like this challenge very much. But in the short term, I still want to finish what I want to do in Liuhe. Liuhe has achieved development within this year, but it is still unstable. I need some more time to build Liuhe into a highland for inland development, a highland for openness, and a highland for people's livelihood security, and a pilot for Huayuan and even the whole country."

Lv Donghui was very moved after hearing Li Wujiang's words. This guy could resist the temptation of power, not forgetting his original intention, and wholeheartedly wanted to do one thing well. This spirit is worthy of admiration. "As you said in the article, don't forget your original intention, and you will succeed. Just go ahead and do it. The central government supports cadres to be bold and innovative. As long as it is beneficial to development and the people's work, we support it. I will keep the position of the Planning Commission for you. I welcome you to come whenever you want."

Li Wujiang expressed his gratitude to Lu Donghui for his understanding. Then he said goodbye and left.

After leaving the Planning Commission, Li Wujiang met someone he didn't want to see, that is Zhou Changyuan.

Zhou Changyuan took the initiative to greet him, "Secretary Li is different now. He went to Beijing to report on his work in person. It seems that he is busier than the leaders of the provincial and municipal party committees."

"Section Chief Zhou, excuse me. It's not easy for us local officials. If we want to do some work, we have to worship in any temple."

Li Wujiang's words were still stabbing Zhou Changyuan. After so long, he was still a section chief. It was shameful. "Secretary Li, it's not easy to be an official. Why don't you come to my place and I'll arrange something for you."

"That's great. After all, Secretary Zhou also works in Nandu City. As his cousin, shouldn't you support the development of Nandu City and approve ten or eight projects for Nandu City so that we can help promote them?"

After Li Wujiang said this, Zhou Changyuan gritted his teeth in anger and left without paying any more attention to Li Wujiang.

When Li Wujiang was accompanying Fang Shuxin at home, he received a call from Mu Liancheng, asking him to go to the Organization Department.

It was the first time for Li Wujiang to go to the Beijing Organization Department. Although he had met Mu Liancheng before when he came to Beijing, he had met him outside.

Mu Liancheng's office was very simple, not as luxurious as imagined.

"Hello, Minister Mu."

"You kid, you came back to Beijing, and you didn't even come to see me, an old man."

"Minister Mu, you are still in your prime, how can you be old? I'm just afraid that you are busy with work and I'm embarrassed to disturb you."

"And when you were embarrassed, why didn't I notice it?" Mu Liancheng saw that Li Wujiang was getting better and better at speaking.

Li Wujiang chuckled but didn't say anything.

"You've been doing well recently. You've made everyone else dazzled. How is Liuhe County's economy this year?"

"There are now 40 to 50 companies in Liuhe County Industrial Park, most of which are in the construction stage, but more than a dozen have been put into production. However, with the promotion of Liuhe Winery, Liuhe County's economy can make a comeback."

"It's not enough to just make a comeback. What I want to know is where Liuhe County's economy ranks in Nandu or even Huayuan Province?"

Mu Liancheng suddenly became very interested in the economic development of Liuhe County, which made Li Wujiang puzzled. How could the leader in charge of organizational work be so interested in economic work? However, since the leader asked this, Li Wujiang answered truthfully, "Liuhe County's investment promotion and project construction throughout the year are definitely the first in Nandu City. The county's mixed GDP can reach more than 3 billion yuan, and it is estimated that it can also rank first in Nandu City. As for its position in Huayuan Province, I can't say."

Mu Liancheng stood up, walked around, thinking about the problem. Then he said, "Wujiang, you have caught up with a good opportunity now. The superiors are now intending to promote the leaders of cities and counties with faster economic development to a higher level. This is also an opportunity for you."

When Li Wujiang heard Mu Liancheng talk about the promotion, his heart became lively. This is to let the leaders of the municipal and county party committees join the provincial and municipal party committees. This is definitely a great thing. But can this fall on his head?

"Your recent articles have attracted the attention of the top leaders, and the superiors also hope to use Liuhe County as a pilot county for development and reform. So this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. I hope you can treat me well."

"Thank you Minister Mu for your reminder. After returning, I will definitely implement all the work to ensure that development and reform achieve significant results."

Li Wujiang chatted about some other things in Mu Liancheng's office and left. The news that Mu Liancheng revealed to him this time was very important. One step into the municipal party committee team means entering the sequence of department-level cadres. This is the most important step in the officialdom. Many people have worked all their lives without crossing this hurdle.

When Zhou Ziliang was sleeping in bed with Wei Bing in his arms, he suddenly received a call from Jiao Fengnian, the secretary general of the municipal party committee.

"Fengnian, is there something wrong with your phone call so late?" Zhou Ziliang knew that Jiao Fengnian was a steady person, otherwise he would have recommended Jiao Fengnian to be the secretary of the Liuhe County Party Committee, but it didn't work out. He used his connections to directly promote Jiao Fengnian to the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

"Secretary Zhou, something happened."

Zhou Ziliang sat up in shock when he heard the word "something happened." Wei Bing was also woken up and asked Zhou Ziliang if he would let him sleep.

Jiao Fengnian also heard Zhou Ziliang say that there was a woman on the other end of the phone, but he didn't ask anything.

"What happened?"

"Secretary Zhou, we received reports from various counties tonight. Due to the recent heavy snowfall in various parts of our city, the snow tonight is even heavier. Some places have collapsed dangerous buildings, and there have been casualties in Yangcheng County and Baochang County."

Zhou Ziliang thought it was a big deal. Every year when it snows, there are people affected by disasters, and it is normal for one or two people to die. Why is Jiao Fengnian so unstable today? "Okay, Secretary Jiao, I know about this. Please notify all counties and districts to do a good job of investigating potential safety hazards and ensure that nothing serious happens in Nandu City."

After saying that, Zhou Ziliang hung up the phone. Suddenly unable to sleep, looking at the beauty beside the bed, Zhou Ziliang had an impulse and climbed onto Wei Bing's body, starting to toss and turn late at night.

Jiao Fengnian on the other side was also stunned. Casualties could be a big deal or a small deal. The snow this year was too heavy. If we don't take precautions, something will happen. How could Zhou Ziliang not care about this matter at all? Forget it, let's report it to the government office again.
