When Li Qingyun came to Ma Botao's office, the other party was talking to someone on the phone.

Seeing Mo Ruzhong, director of the county party committee office, leading Li Qingyun to the door, Ma Botao hurriedly beckoned to him and motioned for him to come in and sit.

Sitting on the guest sofa in the office, Li Qingyun silently drank the fragrant tea sent by the staff without saying a word.

Although Ma Botao was on the phone, his eyes never left Li Qingyun.

Seeing this young man who was more than 20 years younger than himself sitting there steadily, Ma Botao felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

Yes, just two or three years ago, this young man was just a rookie who was just starting out in officialdom.

Now he is one of the important cadres of the county party committee that he has to treat carefully.

Such a change makes Ma Botao, a person who has experienced it, really emotional.

Li Qingyun didn't know what Ma Botao was thinking.

He was silently opening his phone at this moment, checking a text message he had just received.

"We're almost there, twenty minutes left!" The text message was simple, just one sentence.

There is no doubt that this text message must have been sent by Xia Bingqing.

"Well, I'm waiting here at the county party committee!" Li Qingyun calmly replied to a message, and then turned his gaze to the cup of tea in front of him.

On the other side, Ma Botao's phone call has also been completed.

After putting down the phone, Secretary Ma came over with a teacup and sat down next to Li Qingyun.

"Qingyun, you really contributed to this social practice activity of Qinxi Normal University. If it weren't for you running around the provincial capital, why would such a good provincial key university be interested in our Shahe County!"

Ma Botao's relationship with Li Qingyun is quite harmonious now.

Basically, it involved a lot of things in the development zone, and Ma Botao didn't care much about it, and let Li Qingyun toss it.

From this point of view, Ma Botao's style of acting has also changed somewhat after he was transferred from the post of magistrate of Yuanbei County to the secretary of the Shahe County Party Committee.

At least on the surface, the county party secretary is now much more powerful than before.

In the face of Secretary Ma's praise, Li Qingyun was of course humble.

The two chatted for a while about the social practice of Qinxi Normal University, and Li Qingyun took the opportunity to smile and said, "Secretary Ma, there is something I have to report to you in advance." ”

Ma Botao was slightly stunned, and then grinned: "Qingyun, if you have something to say, just say it." We don't need to be too shy about it!"

When Li Qingyun heard this, he hurriedly made a moved look and told the matter one by one.

"Secretary Ma, that's the case. Next Saturday, the 22nd, one of my college classmates in the provincial capital got married. I want to go a day earlier, in case something happens, I can help!"

Hearing this, Ma Botao waved his hand and said, "Hey, Qingyun, this is how it should be, what is there to report." By the way, you went to Qinxi University in college, right? This old classmate of yours is undoubtedly the dragon and phoenix among the people?"

Li Qingyun smiled and said, "Secretary Ma, you also know my classmate. It is Yao Dezhi, deputy general manager of the 'Guiren Group'......"

Hearing the name "Yao Dezhi", Ma Botao suddenly realized.

He nodded again and again: "It turned out to be this Mr. Yao, then Qingyun, you should have gone over to help earlier." ”

Ma Botao said with a relieved face: "I think that at the beginning, when Qingyun was still in Lotus Township, this Yao Gongzi helped Lotus Township, and we had a lot in Yuanbei County." ”

seemed to feel that there was something wrong with the word "we", Ma Botao smiled and said: "Hey, after working in Yuanbei County for so many years, I really can't change my mouth for a while!"

Li Qingyun made a clear look, and said with a slight bow: "What Secretary Ma said is that when I went to Lotus Township a few days ago, I was also full of emotion when I saw the place where I had worked. ”

Speaking of the affairs of Yuanbei County and Lianhua Township, these two people who were quite flawed at the beginning, the thorn in their hearts seems to have gradually disappeared a lot.

Ma Botao spit out a smoke ring, glanced at Li Qingyun and said, "Qingyun." To be honest, when I was in Yuanbei County, I still had a little misunderstanding about you. I always feel that your steps in Lotus Township are too big, and some of your foundations are unstable......"

Li Qingyun was slightly stunned, not knowing what Secretary Ma wanted to say.

Ma Botao sighed: "The so-called practice brings true knowledge, this is not wrong at all. ”

"Now look at the rapid development of Lotus Township, which proves the correctness of your approach at the beginning. I'm making the mistake of 'subjectivism' on this issue!"

Li Qingyun didn't expect that this Secretary Ma, since he would say such a thing, he was a little confused at that time.

Forcibly suppressing the turbulent waves in his heart, Li Qingyun reluctantly smiled and said, "Secretary Ma, you are too polite." Speaking of which, there was something wrong with what I did at the time. ”

Li Qingyun sighed with emotion and said: "If I had known that Lianhua Township would develop like this in two years, I would definitely report and suggest to the county party committee and county government to expand that secondary highway into a first-class highway......

When Li Qingyun said this, Ma Botao nodded again and again: "That's right, this point, I and the comrades of the county government also realized it later. ”

"To say that the current Lotus Township is developing in a good direction everywhere. However, this sluggishness in traffic has affected its development speed to a certain extent. ”

Ma Botao's words, Li Qingyun completely agreed.

In fact, if you want to talk about ability, Ma Botao may be stronger than Li Zhanguo.

Many times, Li Qingyun thinks of ideas in economic construction, and as long as he gives a hint, he can immediately understand the profound meaning.

It's just a pity that Ma Botao is still a little selfish in employing people, a bit cronyism.

This is also an important reason why when he was in charge of Yuanbei County, although the policies he gave were good, they had little effect.

In the final analysis, in political life, "people" should come first.

After chatting with Ma Botao for a while about some things in his work in Yuanbei County before, Li Qingyun felt that the secretary of the county party committee seemed to have improved his senses a little.

Of course, Ma Botao is a very deep person, and it is really difficult to say whether such a change was deliberately revealed by him.

With Li Qingyun's current maturity, it is impossible to easily trust others.

The so-called "you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to guard against people", Li Qingyun has always kept this sentence firmly in mind.
