Chapter 24: The Puzzle

"Look at your urgency, I just said it casually, I don't mean anything else." Guli laughed.

"It's not...... Sister Gu, I really didn't peek at Wu Caixia's ...... Wu Caixia is beautiful, but it doesn't arouse my interest......" Ma Xiaoyao explained vigorously.

Gu Lile said: "Wu Caixia can't arouse your interest? So who can pique your interest? ”

"Of course it's Sister Gu...... Uh......" As soon as Ma Xiaoyao finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and seeing Gu Li's expression change, Ma Xiaoyao's heart suddenly tightened: "No, Sister Gu, I mean to say, you are much more beautiful than Wu Caixia, I will find a wife in the future, and I will also find a mature, beautiful, charming, generous, and virtuous like Sister Gu...... of women. ”

"Am I really as good as you say?" Guli is also a woman, and she also wants to be praised, especially by men who have a good feeling.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded again and again: "I don't know what others think, and I don't care, but Sister Gu, you are the most beautiful woman in the world in my eyes." ”

"You little mouth, you're so good at complimenting people, I'm embarrassed to make it." Gu Li's face flushed slightly.

Ma Xiaoyao just wanted to praise Gu Li a few more words and contact his feelings, but was interrupted by a knock on the door, Ma Xiaoyao frowned, and scolded in his heart: Who is this? Why is this annoying, if you don't come early or late, you just come when you are "in touch with your feelings", isn't this interrupting! Irritating!

Guli raised her head and said to the door, "Please come in." ”

The door of the ......room was pushed open, and Chen Yinghao walked in with a wine glass.

It turned out that Chen Yinghao came in to toast, Gu Li came to eat, and Chen Yinghao should come to toast to show respect.

Out of politeness, Gu Li and Ma Xiaoyao had a drink with Chen Yinghao.

After toasting, Chen Yinghao left the private room.

It's a good atmosphere, but it was ruined by Chen Yinghao's light bulb, and Ma Xiaoyao was quite depressed.

"Ma Xiaoyao, I really didn't see it, you have a lot of means." Guli complimented.

Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "What means are not means, I am just a little smart...... That, Sister Gu, if you encounter any problems that you can't handle in the future, just come and ask me directly, and I will give you a staff officer, and I will definitely help you solve the problem. "In front of the woman he likes, men are always used to elevating their skills, the purpose is to attract the attention and attention of the woman they like, and sometimes, it is really difficult for men to do it.

"Don't tell me, I've been in a problem lately." Gu Li nodded and said.

"What's the problem? Tell me about it, and I'll give you a staff officer. Ma Xiaoyao heard that it was exciting, this is a good opportunity to express Xiàn, of course Ma Xiaoyao can't miss it.

Gu Li pondered for a moment: "Ma Xiaoyao, are you familiar with the officialdom in Blue Ocean City?" ”

"This ...... I don't know a thing or two, it's not very clear. Ma Xiaoyao smiled awkwardly.

"Then I'll explain it to you." Gu Li said patiently: "The biggest official in Lanhai City is Liu Yuncai, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, followed by Mayor Lin Haixiang, because there is too much work in Lanhai City, the mayor is not busy at all, so it is equipped with several deputy mayors, so as to share the burden on the mayor's shoulders, the entire Blue Ocean City, there are a total of six deputy mayors, each deputy mayor has a different division of labor, for example, I am mainly responsible for education, health work, and there is also a ranking among the deputy mayors, the first is the executive vice mayor Tian Yinglong, and the right is second only to the mayor, And I am almost at the bottom of the ranking, so to speak, of all the deputy mayors, I have the lowest position and the least power in my hands. ”

"One Blue Ocean City is equipped with six deputy mayors, which is too much, right?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned.

Gu Li smiled: "Lanhai City is a strong industrial city, it is ranked in the top of the province, the city is prosperous and strong, and there is a lot of work to face, and the six deputy mayors are almost too busy." ”

"Oh, I see." Ma Yao nodded.

"The promotion of officialdom is also very particular, first of all, you need political performance, then you need qualifications, and finally you need luck, all three are indispensable, otherwise it is difficult to be promoted." Gu Li sighed: "Mayor Lin Haixiang will retire in a few months, and it is not surprising that one of the six deputy mayors should be selected to take over the position of mayor." ”

Ma Xiaoyao's eyes lit up: "It's a good thing, in this way, Sister Gu, you have the hope of becoming the mayor." "The gap between the deputy mayor and the mayor is not half a star.

Gu Li shook her head and said with a wry smile: "With my qualifications, it is almost impossible to succeed as mayor...... Now the most promising is Executive Vice Mayor Tian Yinglong. ”

"Sister Gu, don't be discouraged, there are exceptions to everything, you didn't fight for it, how do you know that you can't take over the position of mayor?" Ma Yao smiled.

"I'm not discouraged, I'm self-aware." Gu Li waved her hand: "In terms of qualifications and connections, Tian Yinglong is better than me, and when the superior leaders inspect, they will definitely list Tian Yinglong as the first candidate to succeed the mayor, and I ...... There is no way to compete with Tian Yinglong. ”

Ma Xiaoyao glanced at Gu Li, and then said, "Sister Gu, do you really want to be the mayor?" ”

"Of course, I also want to be on top, so I don't have to look at other people's faces in the future." Gu Li nodded: "It's a pity that I don't have this ability." ”

"Sister Gu, who will make the final decision on the candidates for the general mayor?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.

"First of all, the city nominated, that is, Liu Yuncai, secretary of the municipal party committee, recommended candidates to the province, and then the provincial leaders inspected and studied, and the final decision was made by the provincial leaders." Guli explained the procedure.

"Oh." Ma Xiaoyao nodded slightly: "Sister Ma, under normal circumstances, the candidates recommended by Liu Yuncai, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, will the provincial leaders veto?" ”

Gu Li shook her head: "Under normal circumstances, no, to elect a mayor, the opinion of the secretary of the municipal party committee is very important, after all, the mayor will have to work with the secretary of the municipal party committee in the future, if the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor do not deal with each other, it will directly affect the development of a city." ”

"So, Secretary Liu Yuncai's opinion is the most important?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.

"Yes, as long as you can get the support of Secretary Liu, you can basically take over as mayor." Gu Li nodded and said: "As far as I know, Secretary Liu also has a background in the province, as long as it is a candidate recommended by Secretary Liu, the provincial leaders will definitely not veto." ”

"Then how is your relationship with Secretary Liu?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.

"This ......" Gu Li thought for a while: "It's okay, I used to work in the municipal party committee for a while, and I met Secretary Liu a lot at that time, and occasionally I could chat a few words, Secretary Liu is very easy-going, there is no arrogance, and he is very easy to get along with." ”

Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Isn't this enough, you go to contact Secretary Liu, and let Secretary Liu directly recommend you to be the mayor?" ”

Gu Li glanced at Ma Yao: "What you think is too simple, my personal relationship with Secretary Liu is good, but the relationship between Executive Deputy Mayor Tian Yinglong and Secretary Liu is not bad, even better than me, so it is reasonable to say that Secretary Liu should recommend Tian Yinglong." ”

"Oh?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "I didn't expect this Tian Yinglong to have something to do with Secretary Liu...... That, Sister Gu, let me ask you, if there is no Tian Yinglong to compete with you, what are your chances of becoming the mayor? ”

"What do you want to do? Don't mess around! Tian Yinglong and Wei Zhengming are different, you must not do stupid things! Gu Li said urgently.

Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "I'm just assuming, I don't mean anything else...... Sister Gu, I do things in a measured way. ”

When she heard that Ma Xiaoyao was just hypothetical and had no other thoughts, Gu Li breathed a sigh of relief: "If there is no competition from Tian Yinglong, I should be able to have ...... Fifty percent grasp the mayor. ”

"Fifty percent sure?" Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "The odds are not low...... After pondering for a while, Ma Xiaoyao asked Gu Li: "Sister Gu, how is that Tian Yinglong?" ”

"How so?" Gu Li shook his head: "Tian Yinglong is relatively strict, so his subordinates are very afraid of him, and Tian Yinglong is an official fan, and his desire for power is very high, as far as I know, Tian Yinglong has risen step by step from the grassroots level, and has a lot of political achievements, and he is also a big celebrity in Lanzhou City." Guli briefly introduced.

"How about Tian Yinglong as an official? Is it a Qing official? Or a corrupt official? Ma Xiaoyao continued to ask.

"How do I know this, I don't have a very deep relationship with Tian Yinglong, but according to my observation, Tian Yinglong doesn't look like that kind of corrupt official." Gu Li said uncertainly: "Ma Xiaoyao, why are you asking so much?" ”

Ma Xiaoyao licked his dry lips, leaned in front of Gu Li, and said in a low voice: "Sister Gu, we can use some strategies to make Tian Yinglong disqualified from competing for mayor, so that you can hope to take the position." ”

Gu Li raised her eyebrows: "What strategy do you use?" Ma Xiaoyao, I can tell you, I don't do anything that hurts nature and reason. ”

Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Sister Gu, look at what you said, when did I let you do something hurtful?" I just wanted to use some ...... Normal means of competition, help you get to the top, this is not unreasonable, right? ”

"Normal means? What means? Gu Li asked suspiciously.

Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "I haven't thought about it for the time being, I need to investigate and see if Tian Yinglong has done anything illegal and undisciplined." Ma Xiaoyao thought very simply, if the evidence of Tian Yinglong's violation of discipline can be found, it will be easy to do, and directly hand over the evidence to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, then Tian Yinglong will fall.

"Don't mess around, Tian Yinglong is the executive deputy mayor, and he has a lot of influence in Lanhai City, if he finds out that you are secretly investigating him, Tian Yinglong will definitely not let you go, and even I won't be able to save you at that time." Gu Li said uneasily.

Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "Sister Gu, don't worry, I do things in a measured way, okay, let's talk about this today, let's hurry up and eat, the dishes are going to be cold." As he spoke, Ma Yao picked up a pig's knuckle and gnawed it.
