The pursuit of a position in officialdom

"Xiaoxue, if I let you leave the guesthouse, will those people let you be okay? If you tell me, I will keep it a secret for you and guarantee the safety of you and your family."

Xiaoxue hesitated. She knew that if she was driven away by Li Wujiang, she would be useless and they would not let her go. Xiaoxue gritted her teeth and said, "County Magistrate Li, can you guarantee our safety?"

After getting Li Wujiang's guarantee, Xiaoxue began to speak. "County Magistrate Li, Sister Xiuqin and I were sent by Director Qiu. Director Qiu originally wanted Wang Xiuqin to seduce you, but she failed. Director Qiu asked me to seduce you in order to control you. I did this because I was desperate. I'm sorry, County Magistrate Li." Xiaoxue knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard.

Li Wujiang helped Xiaoxue up and let her sit on the bed. He told her not to cry. Then Li Wujiang fell into thinking. He suspected Qiu Qiming was from the Lu family from the beginning, but he had no real evidence. Now that Xiaoxue told him everything, Li Wujiang knew that this was not the time for both sides to tear each other apart. I still need to be patient, and wait until everything is clear and I have enough strength to overthrow them.

"Xiaoxue, don't cry. Don't tell anyone about what happened today. If Director Qiu asks, just say that you didn't succeed and you will find the right opportunity in the future. I won't tell anyone about this. I will arrange for someone to treat your parents' illness, and you can just be a waiter here. Don't think about anything else."

"Thank you, County Magistrate Li. I caused you trouble, but you are still willing to help me. You are such a good person."

"Xiaoxue, you must remember that we are all equal people, and you are not inferior to others. I came to Liuhe County to lead the people out of poverty and become rich, and to bring peace and happiness to the people. Now I haven't done it, and this is my responsibility. Xiaoxue, please believe that I will definitely change Liuhe County into a bright and clear world, and I will definitely lead the people of Liuhe to live a good life."

Xiaoxue was very excited after hearing Li Wujiang's words. This was the first respect she received since she came to the county, and it came from the county magistrate. When Xiaoxue was excited, she hugged Li Wujiang. Xiaoxue clung to Li Wujiang, causing his male hormones to rise suddenly. Li Wujiang gritted his teeth and gently pushed Xiaoxue away, and wiped her tears. He encouraged her that things would get better in the future.

Li Wujiang took Deng Dahai and Mei Zhilin to Nandu City to fight for the project.

"Xiaoxue, how is it, did you succeed?" Qiu Qiming came to ask Xiaoxue while Li Wujiang was gone.

"Director Qiu, County Magistrate Li is very alert at night, and I can't do it."

"Xiaoxue, you have to hurry up, think about your parents and brothers and sisters at home." Qiu Qiming said and left angrily.

"Director Mei, what is the general approval procedure for this kind of road project?"

"County Magistrate Li, first we need to submit the relevant project documents to the Municipal Transportation Bureau, and then submit them to the Provincial Transportation Department for approval after the Municipal Transportation Bureau approves them."

Chapter 140 To do things, we must face challenges head-on

"Oh, how is the relationship between our county and the Municipal Transportation Bureau?"

Mei Zhilin said hesitantly, "County Magistrate Li, the current director of the Nandu Municipal Transportation Bureau is Chang Dong. Our Liuhe County has reported this plan before, but it has not been approved."

"Okay, I get it." Li Wujiang saw Mei Zhilin's hesitancy and guessed that Chang Dong's relationship with Liuhe County should not be very good. If he went directly to Chang Dong, he might not see him.

Li Wujiang thought for a moment and called Zhang Changsheng directly. "Mayor Zhang, I'm sorry to bother you. Today, two comrades from the county and I want to come to the city to report to you about the Liunan Road Project."

"Wujiang, you've got the wrong person. I'm not in charge of transportation, and I'm willing to listen to your report. You still need to report to Deputy Mayor Du Gang on the specific work." As soon as Li Wujiang heard Du Gang, he felt that this was going to be difficult. He could do work for other city leaders. Du Gang and the other two had a big fight over land acquisition and demolition for the steel project.

"Wujiang, are you listening?"

"Mayor Zhang, you talk, I listen."

"I can call Chang Dong from the Transportation Bureau first, and you can go to Director Chang to report your ideas for Liuhe County. You can communicate about the rest."

"Okay, thank you, Mayor Zhang."

"County Mayor Li, you just contacted Mayor Changsheng, what did he say?" Deng Dahai was not surprised that Li Wujiang knew Zhang Changsheng. Both of them were from Hualin County, so it was normal for them to have some interactions.

"Mayor Zhang said he would call Director Chang later. Let's go directly to Director Chang." Li Wujiang didn't tell them about Du Gang, fearing that the two would worry too much and lose confidence.

Li Wujiang and his party arrived in Nandu City after lunch. They found a restaurant and ate a few bites of food, then went directly to the Transportation Bureau.

Zhang Changsheng had contacted Chang Dong in advance. So Chang Dong was waiting for Li Wujiang and his party in the office. Chang Dong was quite polite to Li Wujiang, because Li Wujiang was not unfamiliar with Nandu City and had made great contributions.

"County Magistrate Li, County Magistrate Deng, Director Mei, come and sit. You have come all the way from Liuhe County, it's really hard."

"Director Chang, hey, I shouldn't have complained to you when I first met you, but the roads in Liuhe County are too broken, and County Magistrate Deng almost had a heart attack due to the bumps along the way."

Deng Dahai saw Li Wujiang say this and could only smile awkwardly.

"Now the roads in the whole city are in urgent need of construction and maintenance, but you know, County Magistrate Li, the construction of the steel project is at a critical stage, and most of the infrastructure construction in Nandu City is centered around the steel project."

After hearing this, Li Wujiang knew that although Chang Dong did not explicitly reject the Liunan Road project, he actually expressed that Nandu City is having difficulties in construction. However, Li Wujiang is not afraid of difficulties, and he will give it a try no matter how difficult it is. "Director Chang, I also know that the city's finances are in difficulty, but you also know that Liuhe County is remote and has inconvenient transportation. If the road is not repaired, it will be difficult for Liuhe County's economy to improve. Let us first give you a detailed report on the situation of Liunan Road."

Li Wujiang first asked Mei Zhilin to report on the project planning of Liunan Road. Li Wujiang also supplemented it from the aspects of importance and urgency. It makes people feel that not repairing Liunan Road would be the biggest mistake in work.

Chang Dong admires Li Wujiang's eloquence. However, the construction funds for the Liunan Road Project were too much, and the finances of Nandu City could not support it at all; another reason was that he had some minor conflicts with Lu Zhenjun, so he did not take the Liunan Highway Project seriously in recent years. If Zhang Changsheng had not greeted him this time, he would not have been willing to meet the cadres of Liuhe County.

"County Magistrate Li, I have also listened to your explanation, which is very exciting. I also see the urgency of Liuhe County to build this road. But you know that Nandu City has limited financial resources and transportation projects. At present, Nandu City alone cannot complete the construction of Liunan Road."

"Director Chang, I know all the situations you mentioned. I wonder if the Municipal Bureau has other ways to start the construction of Liunan Highway."

Chang Dong saw that Li Wujiang was so persistent and admired this guy. He said, "County Magistrate Li, the key to the construction of Liunan Road is funding. If Liuhe County can solve the funding problem, the Municipal Transportation Bureau can review the project."

"Okay, thank you Director Chang for your guidance. I hope the Municipal Bureau will approve this project first, and I will think of a way to solve the funding problem." In Li Wujiang's eyes, as long as the first step is done, he can think of ways to solve the following things.

"County Magistrate Li, you are really a persistent person. Okay, you will hand over the materials to the project department and let them review them first. After the review, the provincial government will approve them. County Magistrate Li has made it clear to you in advance that the project will be shelved if there is no funding after the project is approved."

"Director Chang, I understand what you said. I am sorry to trouble you. We have arranged it at Qingyaju in Nandu City tonight. I hope Director Chang can sit with the brothers in the county at that time."

"County Magistrate Li, I appreciate your kindness. I should have entertained you when you came. But it is really unfortunate that a leader from the provincial department will come tonight, and I have to entertain him. I will ask County Magistrate Li to come out for a gathering some other day."

Li Wujiang saw that Chang Dong did not want to attend their dinner, so he did not force him. Then he said a few polite words and got up to say goodbye.

After leaving the Transportation Bureau, Mei Zhilin said happily, "County Magistrate Li, you are so amazing. Our Liuhe County has worked hard for so many years, but there has been no project approval. This time Director Chang agreed, so there should be a chance."

Li Wujiang smiled bitterly, not wanting to hit Mei Zhilin, and said, "Yes, we have taken the first step in the long march, and we will continue to work hard in the next step."

Mei Zhilin is a business leader and did not see the point. Deng Dahai is a veteran in the officialdom and saw the key at a glance. The leader agreed, but the project might not be successful. But Deng Dahai is a smart man and did not point it out.

"Let's go, everyone is tired today, let's go to the hotel to rest first. Tomorrow I will go to the municipal government to report the project to Deputy Mayor Du Gang and seek support from the leaders."

Now Li Guixiang's house has become Li Wujiang's free time in Nandu City. Since Liuhe County is far away from the provincial capital, Li Wujiang has not been back for half a month. So he comes to Li Guixiang every week to release himself.

Li Wujiang caressed Li Guixiang, and Li Guixiang was also satisfied to see that Li Wujiang loved her so much. A woman in her thirties or forties, with such a young man loving her, Li Guixiang is also very happy.

Chapter 141 Different leaders, different realms

Li Wujiang walked into the compound of the Municipal Party Committee and happened to meet Cheng Xiuyun, the head of the Organization Department, and went over to say hello. "Hey, Minister Cheng."

"Wujiang, if you have time to come to the city, come to my office and sit down." Although Cheng Xiuyun is in her forties, she is dressed very energetically and has the temperament of a strong woman.

When the Minister of Organization called, Li Wujiang went over happily.

"Wujiang, sit down, I'll pour you some tea. You have been in Liuhe County for a while, how is your work?"

"Minister Cheng, oh, you don't know how difficult it is to do grassroots work until you go to the grassroots. Grassroots cadres are too miserable. Especially the cadres in marginal towns, they abandon their families and children, and can't go home for half a year. When they go back, their children don't recognize them."

Seeing Li Wujiang complaining, Cheng Xiuyun felt that Li Wujiang was very funny. She wanted to laugh but held back. As the Minister of Organization, she also had to maintain her image.

"Wujiang, what you said is too exaggerated. I know that the comrades at the grassroots level have a hard time. But it is not as severe as you say. I heard from Minister Su that you have many unique insights in organizational work. Tell me how to better deal with the situation at the grassroots level." Cheng Xiuyun went to the provincial capital to report on her work last week. Su Zhenghai also praised Li Wujiang and asked her to make good use of Li Wujiang.

"Minister Cheng, you are testing me. Although I haven't worked at the grassroots level for a long time, I still have some experience and insights. I will report to Minister Cheng. If there are any mistakes, I hope Minister Cheng will criticize and correct them. Now our grassroots cadre personnel system is relatively inflexible. A cadre works in a position for several years or even more than ten years. Unless promoted, the mobility is relatively slow, which will bring some problems. On the one hand, there is a lack of mobility. Many cadres are not very motivated and work sluggishly. They do not seek to make achievements but only to avoid mistakes. They live a day-to-day life. On the other hand, working in a place for a long time and getting familiar with local people can easily lead to situations where law enforcement is hindered by personal feelings and the idea of ​​shielding is serious."

"Wujiang, although you have been there for a short time, you are still quite accurate in looking at problems. Since you have pointed out the problem, you should have some good ideas." At this time, Cheng Xiuyun began to face Li Wujiang. From what this kid said, she could feel that Li Wujiang was not simple.

"Minister Cheng, I've been thinking about how to change this situation recently. I remembered that when I was studying at the Cadre Academy, Minister Mu asked the same question. I said that we should establish a cadre mechanism that can be promoted or demoted. On the one hand, let excellent cadres go up, and on the other hand, let mediocre cadres go down." When Li Wujiang mentioned Minister Mu, Cheng Xiuyun's eyes lit up. She is also an old member of the Organization Department, and Minister Mu, she knew that he was talking about Mu Liancheng. She was surprised that Li Wujiang had such a deep relationship with Mu Liancheng.

"Of course, when it comes to our grassroots, we can implement a cadre position exchange system. Specifically, the cadres of various townships in the county can be exchanged in parallel. Municipal and county cadres can learn and exercise by being sent down or hanging up. This can not only solve the problem I just mentioned, but also enable cadres to exercise in multiple positions and quickly improve their personal abilities."

After Li Wujiang finished talking about the solution, Cheng Xiuyun understood why Mu Liancheng and Su Zhenghai looked at him with admiration. This kid doesn't do organizational work, it's a waste of talent.

"Wujiang, drink some water first. You spoke very well and had a lot of ideas. You deserve the appreciation of the leaders. If you are free recently, please summarize the materials just now and report them to me. I will take a closer look."

Li Wujiang never refused the tasks assigned by the leaders and agreed immediately. Cheng Xiuyun was also very satisfied with Li Wujiang's performance.

Cheng Xiuyun saw that she had caused trouble for Li Wujiang, so she thought that Li Wujiang must have something to do when he came to the Municipal Party Committee this time, and saw if she could help. "Wujiang, do you have other things to do when you come to the Municipal Party Committee this time?"

Li Wujiang told Cheng Xiuyun the purpose of his visit to the Municipal Party Committee.

"Building roads is a good thing. However, the road from Liuhe to Nandu is not only long but also has complicated construction conditions. For such a large project, it is estimated that the city will have funding problems."

"Yes, but no matter how difficult it is, Liuhe County must find a way to repair the road first. Only when the road is built can Liuhe County have the opportunity to develop."

"Well, you have this determination, and I support it. Although I can't help you solve the problem, I can give you an idea. It is difficult to build a road by relying on Nandu alone. You can apply to your superiors, and then Nandu can match some funds."

Li Wujiang's eyes lit up when he heard Cheng Xiuyun's idea. This is a good solution. "Okay, thank you Minister Cheng, the leader still has a way. I will try to get some connections from the province, and the city also hopes that Minister Cheng can help to drum up support."

"Don't worry, kid, I support it as long as it is beneficial to local development."

Li Wujiang saw that the two had said almost the same thing, so he stood up and said goodbye. Deputy Mayor Du Gang was not far from Cheng Xiuyun's office, and Li Wujiang walked a few steps to get there.

Li Wujiang knocked on the door and walked into Du Gang's office. Du Gang was also surprised by Li Wujiang's arrival. The two of them had conflicts. He looked down on Li Wujiang and didn't want to deal with him. He didn't expect this person to come to his door again.

"Mayor Du, hello, sorry to bother you." Li Wujiang was smiling.

"Oh, Comrade Wujiang is here. What do you want to talk to me about?" Deputy Mayor Du Gang looked expressionless.

The leader didn't let him sit, so Li Wujiang endured it. He also knew his relationship with Du Gang and knew that he would be embarrassed if he went directly to Du Gang, but Du Gang was in charge of the transportation department. He could also solve the problem by going directly to Fang Hongwei, but this would not give the leader a good impression. So he used courtesy first and then force. "Mayor Du, today I am here to report to you on the construction of Liunan Highway."

Li Wujiang was about to briefly talk about the basic situation, but was interrupted by Du Gang, "Comrade Wujiang, I have a meeting later, please put the report materials here first, I will take a look first."

"Okay, Mayor Du." Li Wujiang put the materials down and went out.

After Li Wujiang closed the door, Du Gang muttered to himself in the office, "Aren't you arrogant? Don't you know how to respect your superiors? You've fallen into my hands today, so don't even think about getting through me."

After Li Wujiang came out, he was also holding back a breath of anger. For the sake of work, he had to endure it. It seemed that he had to find Fang Hongwei in the end. Li Wujiang walked directly to the door of Fang Hongwei's office without an appointment and was stopped by Fang Hongwei's secretary Liu Yuan. The two knew each other before, and Liu Yuan knew that Li Wujiang and Secretary Fang had an unusual relationship.

"County Magistrate Li, you are here. There are people in Secretary Fang's office now. Please sit in this office for a while."

"Okay, Secretary Liu. Secretary Liu, how many years have you followed Secretary Fang?"

"Almost three years."

Chapter 142 The powerful behind County Magistrate Li, winning people's hearts at the dinner table

"Oh, you followed Secretary Fang when he came to Nandu?"

"It was about that time. County Magistrate Li, have some tea."

"Secretary Liu, you are so capable. Do you plan to serve as a secretary?"
