The pursuit of a position in officialdom

"Wujiang, I admire your confidence. Come on, let's have a drink just for your confidence." Zhang Changsheng suggested a drink.

Xie Fei is now considered a veteran in the wine shop, and he is also very comfortable when dealing with these leaders.

Before leaving, Zhang Changsheng pulled Li Wujiang to talk alone in a private room next to him.

"Wujiang, are you planning to go to the province to fund the Liunan Highway recently?"

"Yes, Mayor Zhang." Zhang Changsheng stopped Li Wujiang.

"Boundless, where there are no people, you still call me Uncle Zhang."

"Uncle Zhang, I plan to go to the provincial capital tomorrow. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. You also know that Liuhe County is currently lagging behind in development and time does not wait for us."

"Okay, all the cadres in Nandu City have your enthusiasm and ambition to do their work, and the work will be carried out easily."

"Uncle Zhang, don't praise me like this, I'll be proud."

"Wujiang, when you return to the provincial capital this time, do you want to see Minister Su?"

Li Wujiang is a smart man. When Zhang Changsheng mentioned Su Zhenghai, he must have something in mind. He said, "I haven't reported to Minister Su for a long time. I should report to him this time when I go back."

Zhang Changsheng really envied the opportunities of this young man in front of him. He had a good relationship with the provincial leaders at a young age. At such an old age, I still ask for help. "Wujiang, the mayor of the city is getting older this time and has to take a back seat."

Li Wujiang immediately understood what Zhang Changsheng meant. Mayor Wang is the executive vice mayor. With his retirement, the position of executive vice mayor will be vacated. According to his qualifications, Zhang Changsheng also meets the requirements, but he has served as deputy mayor for a shorter period of time than Vice Mayor Du Gang, so he lacks a competitive advantage. Although Zhang Changsheng and Fang Hongwei have a relatively good relationship, Fang Hongwei can only manage cadres below the division level. Zhang Changsheng was a department-level cadre and was under the supervision of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. As for whether Zhang Changsheng or Du Gang should be the executive deputy mayor, Li Wujiang would definitely support Zhang Changsheng.

"Uncle Zhang, this is an opportunity. Everyone has seen your work over the years. It just so happens that I have to report to Minister Su when I go back this time. Uncle Zhang, you are the deputy mayor. If you come with us, the leaders will pay more attention to it."

"Okay, Wujiang, your arrangement is better. I will go to Bianzhou City tomorrow, and I will wait for your news then."

"No problem, Uncle Zhang." After saying that, Li Wujiang arranged for someone to send Zhang Changsheng back.

It was already afternoon when Li Wujiang rushed back to the provincial capital with Deng Dahai and Mei Zhilin. Li Wujiang has asked Xia Ruohan to arrange a hotel for the two of them in advance. He returned to the small courtyard by himself. Xia Ruohan had been waiting in the small courtyard for a long time. The two of them haven't seen each other for almost a month. After a long drought, the rain comes. The two couldn't help but kissed each other passionately. Li Wujiang's big hands were not honest at all, and Xia Ruohan was also very emotional. He stretched out his arms and hugged the two of them into the room, forgetting everything outside.

"Wujiang, you have been gone for a month, and I feel like a year has passed. How about you come back?"

"Ruohan, I miss you too. This time I came to the provincial capital to fight for the Liunan Highway. When the road is repaired, it will be convenient for me to come back. How is Changting Company doing recently?"

"Computer projects have been produced at full capacity in response to the government's procurement needs. Pharmaceutical companies are also developing very well now and are beginning to get involved in hospitals and other industries. The media company has become the number one in the industry. The real estate company has also Achieved brilliant results. I heard Jianhua said that the mobile phone project will be put into operation by the end of this year.”

"Okay, Changting, a large enterprise, has entered a stage of rapid development. Last year we talked about holding the Changting Forum. How are you preparing for it?"

"The Changting Forum is being prepared by Shu Xin. She has invited many domestic scholars and experts to participate in this forum."

Chapter 147 Reunion, the road project is in place

Li Wujiang of the Huayuan Provincial Department of Transportation really has an acquaintance, and that is Du Dajun. The two got along very well at the project office at first. Although they were a little unhappy in the end, Li Wujiang helped Du Dajun solve the trouble in the end, and the misunderstanding between the two was eliminated. Today Li Wujiang made an appointment with Du Dajun in advance.

"County Magistrate Li, can we come to the Transportation Department and ask for funds?"

"County Magistrate Deng, we treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Anyway, we can't get the funds now, so we just run from place to place. There will always be a time when we succeed."

Du Dajun was very enthusiastic and waited for Li Wujiang directly at the gate. This shocked both Deng Dahai and Mei Zhilin. The deputy director of a provincial department came directly to take over Wujiang's work. This was not an ordinary relationship.

"Director Du, why do I ask you to pick me up in person? I'm too proud." Li Wujiang said with a smile.

"Wujiang, let's not be polite between us. I remember your kindness to me very clearly. Let's go and sit in the office."

"Director Du, your office is nice." Li Wujiang did not sit down, but stood and wandered around.

"You kid, you don't like my position. You have a higher position than me."

Deng Dahai and Mei Zhilin took a deep breath after hearing Du Dajun's words. Li Wujiang sat on a higher position, where was that.

"Director Du, don't make fun of me. I can't even leave Liuhe County now, and I came here to ask for your help today." Li Wujiang reported the Liunan Highway Project to Du Dajun. Deng Dahai and Meizhi Lin added.

"Wujiang, we are all family, so I won't say anything else. The Department of Transportation does have projects to support local highway construction. I can arrange for the provincial department's project department to approve the Liunan Highway project, but my authority is only within 5 million yuan. If more is needed, it will need to be approved by the superiors."

Li Wujiang was very moved by Du Dajun's honest words and said, "Director Du, you are worthy of being my old leader. You can lend a hand when I need help the most. You see, the Liunan Highway project requires 20 million yuan, which is still a long way off. See if there are any other ways."

"Wujiang, 20 million yuan is a big project. It requires the provincial party committee and provincial government to study and approve it. Our Department of Transportation does not have this power."

"Well, Director Du, you have to keep your word on the 5 million yuan. I will find a way to solve the rest."

"Don't worry, kid. I will definitely solve what I promised you."

Li Wujiang invited Du Dajun to dinner together in the evening, and Du Dajun was of course very happy.

"County Magistrate Li, you are really amazing. You asked the provincial department for 5 million yuan in one go. This is incredible." Mei Zhilin was shocked by Li Wujiang's skills.

"Old Mei, this is just a drizzle, far from our needs. But you have to drink more wine for me tonight. Okay, I'll let Xiaowei take you to rest first. I still have to visit the old leader."

After Li Wujiang left, he went directly to visit Su Zhenghai.

Su Zhenghai saw Li Wujiang again. This guy has become darker and thinner in a month. It seems that grassroots work is not easy. "Wujiang, come and sit."

"Minister Su, Liuhe is really hard to work. You see, I only go home once a month. I almost forget what home is like." Su Zhenghai saw Li Wujiang crying and felt that this guy was a bit funny.

"Okay, you haven't married Xiao Fang yet, so where does your family come from? Don't pretend here."

"Minister Su, you can't do this. I often don't come back before I get married, and the wife I finally got probably ran away."

"Don't say that this is not true. If you don't have anything to do, I have other work to do."

Li Wujiang quickly reported the situation in Liuhe County to Su Zhenghai in detail.

Su Zhenghai thought for a while after listening, and then said, "Wujiang, after listening to your report, it seems that Liuhe has a big problem. It's really not easy for the organization to send you there alone. You are steady and step-by-step, and you have handled it well. What are your plans for the next step?"

Li Wujiang also told Su Zhenghai about his idea of ​​the cadre exchange activity.

"Wujiang, your idea is good. Minister Mu and I were discussing the promotion and demotion system you mentioned some time ago, and now you have created a cadre exchange mechanism. I should have kept you in the Organization Department earlier. Sending you down is a big loss for the Organization Department. The method you just mentioned is very good. You should sort out the materials as soon as possible and send a copy to Minister Xiuyun of Nandu City and a copy to the province. Then you can use your Liuhe County as a pilot."

"Okay, Minister Su. I will finish it as soon as possible. But I have another work to report to you today." Li Wujiang also reported to Su Zhenghai about the fight for the Liunan Highway.

"As an old revolutionary base, Liuhe County has indeed lagged behind in development in recent years. It is right to support the development of the old revolutionary base. However, this matter requires the provincial party committee to study and decide. You should report the project first according to the procedures. It would be best if you could report to Governor Huang."

"Okay, Minister Su, thank you for your support for Liuhe County."

"Wujiang, you must pay attention to personal safety when doing work. Only by protecting your own health can you do a good job for the country. I will also explain to Hongwei later."

Li Wujiang was also moved by Su Zhenghai's concern. "Thank you Minister Su for your concern for me personally. I will definitely protect myself. Secretary Fang and Deputy Mayor Zhang Changsheng of Nandu City are very supportive of my work. Deputy Mayor Zhang also went to the province to do business this time and wanted to report to you about his work."

Su Zhenghai glanced at Li Wujiang, which frightened Li Wujiang.

"If someone in Nandu City can help you, it is also the organization's concern for you. You just need to do your own work well."

Su Zhenghai said this to see him off. Li Wujiang felt that he had talked too much just now.

Li Wujiang walked to the door, and Su Zhenghai said again, "Let Minister Yiyang meet him."

Li Wujiang immediately said yes and left. Su Zhenghai's last words expressed his acceptance of Zhang Changsheng.

"Minister Li, why are you still busy?"

"I thought it was someone else, it turned out to be Wujiang. Come and sit down. You are here to report to Minister Su today. Only you, a county magistrate, can report to Minister Su. Other municipal party secretaries and mayors are waiting in line but it's not their turn."

"That's the favor that Minister Su and Minister Li have shown me. I'm here to express my gratitude." Li Wujiang made a bowing gesture, which made Li Yiyang laugh.

"You are such a rascal. It seems that the work below didn't tire you out."

"This is all thanks to the leaders. Minister Yiyang, we haven't gotten together for a long time. It just so happens that our city's Deputy Mayor Zhang Changsheng is also doing business in the province. I will organize a meeting tomorrow night and we will get together."

Chapter 148 Once he left, he was treated coldly by the governor's secretary

Li Yiyang is also an old staff member of the Organization Department. After hearing what Li Wujiang said, he knew what this kid was here for. Since Minister Su agreed, he would do a favor and agreed immediately.

Li Wujiang felt very tired after coming out of the Organization Department. You have to be careful when talking to leaders. Li Wujiang called Liu Yu and asked about Governor Huang's schedule. Knowing that Governor Huang had no time today, he directly asked Liu Yu to have dinner together in the evening. Then he called Feng Yun and asked him to ask Wang Gang to come out for dinner together in the evening.

Li Wujiang was afraid that Zhang Changsheng would be anxious, so he simply told him the situation. Although he didn't meet Su Zhenghai directly, Zhang Changsheng was also very satisfied to meet Li Yiyang.

Feng Yun gave Li Wujiang a hug from a distance. Deng Dahai and Mei Zhilin were also surprised to see such an enthusiastic female cadre.

"Director, you haven't come to see us for a long time." Feng Yun was happy with a little tears in his eyes.

"Director Feng, you are a provincial leader now. It's not good for people to see you like this." Li Wujiang said jokingly, especially Feng Yun's plump body hugged Li Wujiang, which made him embarrassed.

"I don't care what they say. No matter what time it is, I am a soldier under your command."

After Li Wujiang and Feng Yun separated, they hugged Liu Yu and Wang Gang respectively. As soon as Du Dajun arrived, the banquet started. Li Wujiang introduced Deng Dahai and Mei Zhilin.

"Wujiang, it's not easy for us to sit together again." Du Dajun was moved.

"Director Du, the old comrades from our project office will come to get together every year in the future."

"Okay, Director, I will be the first to respond to the call." Feng Yun was very active in the evening.

"Feng Yun, you are now the director of the Investment Promotion Office. If there are any good projects in the future, you should first turn to our Liuhe County. As the saying goes, good things should not flow to outsiders."

Feng Yun said, "Director, don't worry. If there are suitable projects, I will definitely recommend Liuhe County."

"County Magistrate Deng, we old colleagues are getting together. Please bear with the poor hospitality." Li Wujiang said when he saw Deng Dahai and the other two people were a little unnatural.

"County Magistrate Li, seeing you and your young colleagues get together, I, an old comrade, am envious. Let me toast to all the leaders present." Deng Dahai picked up his glass and clinked glasses with everyone one by one.

After drinking, after seeing off Du Dajun and others, Li Wujiang walked back alone on the small road and met Chen Sisi who was patrolling at night.

"Officer Chen, why are you still patrolling the street?"

"Director Li, oh no, County Magistrate Li, when did you come back, why are you drinking again." Officer Chen Sisi was a little surprised to see Li Wujiang, but when she saw that this young man was already the county magistrate, she felt that the gap between him and her was getting bigger and bigger.

"You ask so many questions, which one should I answer? Work, how can you get things done without drinking?"

"You have so many excuses, just say if you want to drink." Chen Sisi pouted and said.

Li Wujiang did not argue with her, but just said "How is your work recently?"
