Rebirth as an official

When Shi Maoxue arrived, Li An naturally went to greet him. This was an official rule.

Li An led Chen Shanhe and others quickly towards the entrance of the school playground, leaving Wang Defu behind to maintain order at the scene.

"Director Shi, why are you here?" Li An bowed slightly, his tone respectful but not humble.

"Your village is the first pilot poverty alleviation group established by the Poverty Alleviation Office. Let me come and take a look." Shi Maoxue smiled, but then he frowned when he saw the mess on the scene.

"What's going on?" Shi Maoxue pointed at the conference site and said.

"Director Shi, the situation is like this..."

Before Li An could explain, Wang Jian behind him took the lead and explained the situation just now.

Li An looked at Wang Jian like this and shook his head helplessly. It was normal for young people to want to show off, and he didn't take it to heart.

After listening to Wang Jian's story, Shi Maoxue was not angry but smiled.

He turned to Wu Wangtian and said: "Sure enough, the old comrade is very thoughtful. Party Secretary Wu could have predicted this situation."

Li An heard the mystery in Shi Maoxue's words and couldn't help but look at Wu Wangtian who was smiling at the side.

"Director Shi, I know these things very well, and I will definitely cause trouble during the meeting. I am also worried that there will be an accident at the village meeting today. After all, Cadre Li has just started working, and I am worried that he cannot control the situation, so I am wondering if I can help. .”

Although Wu Wangtian said it very politely, the meaning behind his words was that Li An was too young and inexperienced.

"Xiao Li, don't be discouraged. This is how grassroots work in rural areas is. You often encounter unexpected situations. Just experience it a few more times. This time you have to thank Party Secretary Wu, he has helped you a lot." Shi Mao learned. These words made Wu Wangtian's face look a little more proud.

"Director Shi is right, I still want to learn more from Party Secretary Wu."

Things get complicated.

Li An still doesn't know what Wu Wangtian wants to do, so he can only wait and see what happens and deal with it first.

"Let's go, let Secretary Wu take care of your urgent needs first." Shi Maoxue waved his hand and took the lead in walking towards the podium.

The two brothers Wu Youtian and Wu Wangtian followed immediately, but when they left, the eyes they looked at Li An were full of teasing.

Xu Kai walked to Li An and said sympathetically: "Don't take it too seriously."

Yang Mengmeng followed Xu Kai, glanced at Li An and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but couldn't find the right words, so she could only nod as a greeting.

But Wen Wen said coldly as he passed by, "Boy, I was embarrassed two days ago. This matter won't be over that easily."

Li An did not speak, and just silently followed the group of people onto the podium.

Wu Wangtian very attentively opened the seat and asked Shi Maoxue to sit down.Then Wu Youtian, Wen Wen and others took their seats one after another.

Since there were only six seats arranged today, Ang Lee stood behind the podium very knowingly.

Originally, Wu Wangtian also invited Xu Kai to sit down, but he chose to stand next to Li An.

"Li An, this incident happened because of me, and you offended Wen Wen." Xu Kai said with a hint of guilt.

"It's okay. I didn't like him to begin with, so I would have taken action without you." Li An said without any care.

Wu Youtian picked up the loudspeaker and coughed lightly, and then spoke: "Folks, please be quiet. I am Wu Wangtian."

The noisy villagers in the underground immediately calmed down when they heard Wu Wangtian's voice. After all, he had been the village chief for so many years and still had prestige.

"Today Director Shi from the county and Secretary Wu from the township came to visit the villagers. Everyone is welcome."

There was applause from the audience but not enthusiastically, more symbolically.

"Now I have good news for you. People in our village went out to work the year before last, and their arrears of wages are now paid."

As soon as these words came out, the villagers immediately became commotion, and there was a lot of surprise in their eyes.

Wu Wangtian is very satisfied with the current reaction. This is the result he wants.

"Jing Jing, I know everyone is very excited. This is thanks to the support of our county and township leaders. Especially thanks to Cadre Wen. It was through his constant communication and coordination that the boss was willing to give the money. Next, everyone expressed their enthusiasm Please give me a round of applause for Director Shi to speak."

The thunderous applause this time was truly a sign of sincere gratitude.

Shi Maoxue stood up and waved, accepting the round of applause from the villagers with a very impressed expression.

He picked up the loudspeaker and began to speak. The content was nothing more than some official talk and no nutrition.

However, the applause continued after Shi Maoxue's speech. After all, as long as he solves practical problems for the people, everyone will sincerely support him.

Li An frowned. It was obvious that Wu Wangtian planned everything today.

Taking advantage of the meeting to bring up the issue of wage arrears to arouse the villagers' dissatisfaction with the government, and then taking action to solve the matter himself, he could not only satisfy the leaders, but also take the opportunity to suppress himself, killing two birds with one stone.

But how did Wen Wen get involved in this matter, and what is the relationship between him and Wu Wangtian.

The most troublesome thing is the lack of effective information when encountering any sudden event.

Li An is facing this situation now. He can only wait. Any blind action now will only make his situation more passive.

Shi Maoxue talked cordially with the villagers and took photos after the meeting. The two accompanying cadres never stopped holding their cameras, and the shutter was about to smoke.

Li An believes that it won't be long before a press release stating "The Director of the Poverty Alleviation Office personally goes to the front line to solve the practical difficulties of villagers" will appear in Yangdong Daily.

Shi Maoxue got on the jeep and went all the way to the next place amid the greetings of the villagers.

Before leaving, Shi Maoxue said to Li An, "As for the cooperative, your poverty alleviation working group should listen more to Party Secretary Wu's opinions and give you more control."

This seemingly innocuous sentence made Li An's heart sink to the bottom instantly.

Anyone who understands understands the meaning behind the words.

That means Wu Wangtian has the final say on the cooperative's affairs in the future.

Li An's efforts these days can be regarded as making wedding clothes for others.

Wu Wangtian even glanced at Li An with a victor's attitude.

He arrogantly said to Wang Defu and Liu Changfa behind him: "Go back with me to open a temporary branch committee to discuss the payment of wages owed to the villagers."

Before leaving, he didn't forget to take a dig at Li An.

"Team Leader Li, you will not be invited to this club meeting."

After the meeting, the villagers dispersed and the school playground was in a mess.

There were cigarette butts that the villagers had finished smoking, melon seed peels that women had bitten, and an unknown child who had left a pile of yellow stuff on the edge of the playground.

Li An found a broom and started cleaning the place.

He swept very carefully, making sure that there was no garbage in the place he swept with every swing of the broom.

He swept like this, and there was only the sound of sweeping in the empty playground.

Chen Shanhe had already moved the tables and chairs on the podium back to the classroom.

Seeing Li An like this, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

The villagers at today's meeting pointed all their fingers at Li An, but they themselves did not stand up and say a word.

He was about to go up to help, but as soon as he moved, he felt his arm being grabbed.

When he turned around, he saw that Xu Kai was holding him back and shaking his head at him.

"Don't disturb him, leave Li An alone."

"Xu Kai, please think of a way to help Li An." Yang Mengmeng couldn't stand it anymore, and Li An's desolate back made her want to cry.

Xu Kai said helplessly: "If everything is easy in my hometown, but in Yangdong, we really can't help."

"You can't go talk to Uncle Shi. Li An has worked so hard to get the cooperative to listen to Wu. This is so unfair." Yang Mengmeng said on Li An's behalf.

Xu Kai had already explained the meaning of Shi Maoxue's words to Yang Mengmeng, and she also understood Li An's current situation.

"It's not that simple. Wu Wangtian just sent a favor to Shi Maoxue. This is a real political achievement. Besides, what should we say to Shi Maoxue? They have not removed Li An from his position as leader of the working group." Xu Kai only said If you can shake your head, some things will be difficult to solve if you can't put them on the table.

"Then I'll call my dad now. I can't let Li An suffer this injustice." After Yang Mengmeng said this, she took out her red Nokia N73 and prepared to make a call.

"You must not call Uncle Yang, it will make it difficult for him. What should Uncle Yang do with this little thing? Even if he helps, Shi Maoxue will definitely be dissatisfied, and Li An's life will be even more difficult in the future. "Xu Kai quickly explained.

"Then what should we do? We can't just watch Li An like this." Yang Mengmeng reluctantly put the phone back in her pocket.

"In fact, this is not a big deal, and it has no impact on Li An's career. At most, Wu Wangtian will share some of the credit. I will help him later when I find a suitable opportunity."

Xu Kai felt that if this setback made Li An unable to recover, then he was not worthy of his attention.

"Xu Kai, Yang Mengmeng, why haven't you left yet?"

Li An swept the garbage in the open space together and was about to find a dustpan to put it in when he saw a few people standing not far away.

"Mengmeng planned to use Fuqiang Village as a research object, so she stayed. I am a bodyguard." Xu Kai pointed at himself after speaking.

"Then welcome, if you need anything, just tell me." Li An came over with a broom in hand. At this time, there was no trace of frustration on his face, but a smile.

Xu Kaizai observed Li An's expression carefully. There was no trace of frustration on his face. Is this Li An's psychological quality so good?

"Xu Kai, why are you staring at me? I'm not gay." Li An felt that Xu Kai's eyes were a little hot.

"Go, go, my sexual orientation is normal." Xu Kai said angrily.

Ang Lee's joke suddenly broke up the depressing atmosphere.

"Li An, I'm really sorry about this." Xu Kai felt that he still had to apologize seriously.

"It's nothing. If the villagers really get their wages back, it's worth it. At least I've done something practical for the villagers." Li An said nonchalantly.

"But this credit is not yours." Chen Shanhe said with some indignation.
