Qinglong Town. Ma Hongchang, secretary of the county party committee, left with his people in disgrace.

Ma Hongchang hated Li Tianyi in his heart, but now, he has no temper at all for this civil servant who was once a selected and transferred civil servant who could be kneaded by him. He has become the mayor's secretary. He can only find a way to resolve their long-cherished wishes with Li Tianyi, so as not to let Li Tianyi wear small shoes for himself in the future.

Subsequently, the welcome ceremony originally reported for Li Tianyi became a farewell ceremony. This time, all the officials in Qinglong Town changed their previous dissatisfaction and disdain for Li Tianyi, and expressed their friendship with Li Tianyi in various ways.

After a series of recent incidents, Li Tianyi has seen some ways about human nature and people's hearts, so he smiled and made false promises with these people, giving everyone a good feeling.

However, whether it is Li Tianyi or everyone present, everyone knows very well that these are all illusions.

All of this is based on the premise that Li Tianyi is no longer the mayor of Qinglong Town, and if Li Tianyi is the mayor of Qinglong Town, I am afraid that this situation will not occur. The reason is very simple, for these people in Qinglong Town, if Li Tianyi leaves, there will be another vacant position as mayor, and they will have a chance. And if Li Tianyi doesn't leave, Li Tianyi's strong style will not be acceptable to them, even if Li Tianyi can make a lot of achievements.

The reason why Li Tianyi made a false deal with them was because Li Tianyi hoped that they would be able to take care of the mountain village, not to think about going to the mountain village to pick peaches, and to stay in the city by himself, who dared to destroy the development of the mountain village, he would definitely not spare it.

This kind of hypocrisy is not only a kind of overture, but also a kind of demonstration.

On the same day, Li Tianyi went through the handover procedures, and in the evening, he took the last bus directly to Phoenix City.

When he arrived in Phoenix City, it was already dark, and Li Tianyi found an express hotel to live in.

Standing in front of the hotel window, looking at the night view of the city in Phoenix, I was embarrassed.

He came out of the mountain village, and he personally felt the backwardness and poverty of the mountain village, and compared with the prosperity and liveliness of Phoenix City, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

At this time, Li Tianyi's mobile phone suddenly thought.

When I opened my phone, it was a WeChat.

This WeChat was sent by the name of Lao Wang next door, and the content on it made Li Tianyi feel very shocked: "Li Tianyi, don't think that being the mayor's secretary is a good thing, in fact, Mayor Liu Xiaoning's situation in Phoenix City is very grim now."

First of all, he faced strong suppression from Jia Lianqing, secretary of the municipal party committee.

In the past, when Liu Xiaoning was the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, because he insisted on taking principles and laws as the leading factor, Jia Lianqing had repeatedly asked him to raise his noble hand in the handling of certain officials, but Liu Xiaoning never gave face and dealt with it in strict accordance with legal procedures, so there was a grudge between Liu Xiaoning and Jia Lianqing.

After Liu Xiaoning became the mayor, although it seems to be superficial, in fact, most of the people under him are still cadres when Jia Lianqing was in office, and most of these deputy mayors are still only Jia Lianqing's first look, so Liu Xiaoning can be said to be out of the office.

Secondly, when Liu Xiaoning was the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, he offended many people because he adhered to principles very much, especially those cadres at the grassroots level, so these people were very dissatisfied with his appointment as mayor, and they didn't pay attention to his words.

Therefore, Liu Xiaoning's current situation is almost in a state of being hollowed out, you should be careful when you go to be his secretary at this time. ”

After reading Lao Wang's analysis next door, Li Tianyi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The WeChat name is Lao Wang next door, who was added as a friend when he was in college. At first, Li Tianyi didn't know him, and he didn't add the old king next door at all, but the old king next door persevered to add him many times, and in desperation, Li Tianyi could only pass the verification.

However, after Lao Wang next door added him as a friend, he never spoke.

It wasn't until one day that the Organization Department of the Baiyun Provincial Party Committee began to go to Tsinghua University to select outstanding candidates, and Lao Wang next door told him the news in advance, and suggested that he could consider entering the officialdom as a candidate to fulfill his dream.

At that moment, Li Tianyi suddenly became interested in the old king next door.

He has asked the true identity of the old man next door many times, but the other party is always very mysterious and never reveals the slightest bit of information to him.

This time, it is a turning point in Li Tianyi's life. The old king next door appeared again.

Li Tianyi's heart was the same as before, as if grass had grown: "Lao Wang, who are you then?"

The old man next door: "You guess?"

"Where are you now?"

"Phoenix. ”

Li Tianyi had a feeling of wanting to vomit blood. Last time, I went to college in Yanjing City, and I asked where Lao Wang next door was, and the other party told him that he was in Yanjing City, and this time I was in Phoenix City, and asked Lao Wang next door where he was, but this guy actually said that he was also in Phoenix City.

Li Tianyi was sure that this guy must not be telling the truth to himself.

That night, Li Tianyi lay on the bed in the hotel, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

On the one hand, he has been wondering in his heart who this old king next door is? Although he can feel that the old king next door has no ill will towards him, but having such a person who seems to be very clear about his situation and may even be secretly monitoring himself always makes Li Tianyi feel like a man on his back.

On the other hand, Li Tianyi was also thinking about the situation facing Mayor Liu Xiaoning and what he could do after arriving in Phoenix City.

He knew very well that mixing in a city government office and mixing in a mountain village were two completely different concepts.

The next morning, Li Tianyi came to the office of the municipal government early, and waited for Shi Mingqiang, the secretary general of the municipal government, to arrange for someone to take him through various entry procedures, and then took him to the office of Mayor Liu Xiaoning.

Liu Xiaoning's office is a standard inner and outer suite. The outside is the secretary's office, and the inside is the office of Mayor Liu Xiaoning.

If ordinary people want to visit Liu Xiaoning, they must first register in the outside office, and then enter Liu Xiaoning's office through the inner door.

Liu Xiaoning's office also has a door that leads to the corridor, but this door is not allowed by ordinary people.

Li Tianyi and Liu Xiaoning looked at each other and smiled.

"Okay, Comrade Shi Mingqiang, I don't have anything to do with you here, you can get busy first. ”

After Shi Mingqiang was left, Liu Xiaoning said with a smile: "Li Tianyi, we are also old acquaintances, the reason why I transferred you to my side as a secretary is mainly because of the ability and character you showed in the 301 highway case, however, there are some things I still have to learn from you." ”

Li Tianyi smiled slightly: "Mayor, please speak." ”

"Li Tianyi, after you enter the officialdom, what is your ideal?" Liu Xiaoning finished speaking, his eyes staring at Li Tianyi's eyes.

Li Tianyi smiled slightly: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations." ”

Liu Xiaoning's eyes widened suddenly.

He was a little shocked. He didn't expect that Li Tianyi's heart would be so big. You must know that the four sentences that Li Tianyi said are similar to the three immortals of "meritorious service, virtue and speech", and even surpass them. And there are not many people who can do these three immortals in history.

It is precisely because of this that many big politicians have taken the four sentences spoken by Li Tianyi as their political ideals. These four sentences are the famous words of Zhang Zai, a Confucian scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the contemporary philosopher Feng Youlan called them "Four Sentences of Hengqu".

"Li Tianyi, you should know the news that Han Songren, the former secretary of the municipal party committee, has been transferred, right?" asked Liu Xiaoning.

Li Tianyi nodded.

"You also know Jia Lianqing, the new secretary of the municipal party committee, and you have had conflicts with him, how do you plan to get along with him in the future?" Liu Xiaoning showed a smile on his face when he asked this question.

This is the key question he wants to test Li Tianyi today.

Li Tianyi pondered for a moment, and then immediately said: "I don't think there is any personal grudge between me and Secretary Jia, I just need to do things according to the normal process, I believe that a leader as big as Mayor Jia will definitely not care about me." ”

Liu Xiaoning's eyebrows raised. He nodded in satisfaction.

Although Li Tianyi's answer was simple, it revealed a strong sense of confidence between the lines.

Now that his situation in Phoenix City is so grim, he must need someone who can withstand Jia Lianqing's strong pressure to carry out his work. Because many times, as a secretary, you have to carry out a lot of work on your behalf, and if you are constrained to do things, I am afraid that it will not be beneficial for you to break the situation in Phoenix City.

"Li Tianyi, I have already thought about it, after you come to the city government, your rank will remain the same, you will still be at the department level, but you will enjoy the treatment of deputy department level, as for the position? After speaking, Liu Xiaoning looked at Li Tianyi.

At this moment, Li Tianyi's expression was very calm, and he still nodded calmly: "Everything is under the orders of the leader." ”

"Okay, it's your office outside, you can clean up and start your work officially, the first task I give you is to first remember the names and phone numbers of all the leaders of our municipal party committee and municipal government in Phoenix City, how long do you think you can write it down? ”

"Before you get off work tonight. ”

"So fast?" Liu Xiaoning was a little surprised, he originally thought that Li Tianyi would ask for a week.

Li Tianyi just smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything more.

"Okay, you Secretary-General Shi Mingqiang call over, and I'll talk to him again. ”

After Li Tianyi went out and called Shi Mingqiang, he sat in the outer office and studied the address book of the municipal party committee and municipal government placed on the desktop.

When Shi Mingqiang walked out of Mayor Liu Xiaoning's office, his face was a little gloomy, and when he passed by Li Tianyi, he looked at Li Tianyi with a bit of anger and murderous in his eyes.

Li Tianyi didn't know that Shi Mingqiang heard that Liu Xiaoning wanted Li Tianyi to be the deputy director of the office, and his heart suddenly became angry. Because he knows very well that Liu Xiaoning's arrangement of Li Tianyi as the deputy director of the municipal government office is obviously to add sand to the office, which is obviously a distrust of himself. That's not a good thing for him. This should be a harbinger of Liu Xiaoning's desire to win himself.

With the arrival of Li Tianyi, he already has a strong sense of crisis.
