[No pop-ups]

The people of the Xinleng County Bureau are right in their analysis: In the past few days, there will indeed be a big man in K City, and this big man is Lu Zhiyao, secretary of the provincial party committee

In fact, Xinleng County was not the place of choice for Secretary Lu's research, and his first research destination was Zijiang County, which is dozens of kilometers west of Xinleng County and borders Gui'an Province

Although Secretary Lu was only passing through Xinleng County, Shen Youbin, secretary of the county party committee of the county, did not dare to relax and be careless at all; not only arranged for sanitation workers and cadres and workers of various administrative institutions to go to the streets to carry out a large-scale clean-up operation a few days in advance, but also asked the county public security bureau to take precautions and formulate a security work plan for Secretary Lu when he passed through Xinleng, and in particular, to strictly control petitioners to go on the streets and ensure that there would be no roadblocking

Shen Youbin was transferred to Xinleng County last year to serve as secretary of the county party committee; before that, he was deputy secretary of the Tianjiang Provincial Youth League Committee; he was a cadre assigned to the deputy department level; he is currently a member of the city party committee of K City, and concurrently serves as secretary of the Xinleng County party committee

Shen Youbin belongs to a new star in the Tianjiang political arena, and he is very young, and he is not yet forty years old

A few years ago, Shen Youbin was the secretary of the Youth League Committee of a large state-owned iron and steel plant, and he was very shrewd and capable, and he did a good job of the work of the regiment of the factory, and was highly regarded by the leaders of the factory

On one occasion, the secretary of the provincial party committee from Tianjiang went to this large iron and steel plant to investigate and inspect the work, and when the leaders of the iron and steel plant reported to the secretary of the provincial party committee, they specially asked Shen Youbin to make a speech on behalf of the youth members of the whole plant

Seeing that he was a talented person, the secretary of the provincial party committee spoke in a sonorous and forceful tone, and some of the suggestions and opinions he put forward were very pertinent, very insightful, and profound, and he could not help but greatly appreciate him; soon after his return, he instructed the provincial Communist Youth League committee to transfer him to the provincial Youth League office, first to serve as director of the office of the provincial Youth League committee, and soon to be promoted to deputy secretary of the provincial Youth League committee and chairman of the provincial Youth Federation

Shen Youbin is also very clever and takes advantage of the good impression of the secretary of the provincial party committee on himself and constantly deepens his good impression of himself in various ways and means, and smoothly becomes an outstanding young reserve cadre that the provincial party committee focuses on cultivating and paying attention to

However, in the second half of last year, the secretary of the provincial party committee, who admired him very much, resigned, and Lu Zhiyao parachuted into Tianjiang Province to serve as the new secretary of the provincial party committee; Shen Youbin was only on good terms with Li Di, the current secretary of the provincial party committee's political and legal committee and director of the provincial public security department, and he hardly even met the rest of the standing committee members

Therefore, Shen Youbin is now very anxious and has been struggling to find a way to get close to the new provincial party secretary and how to regain the appreciation and reuse of the new provincial party committee

It's a pity that although he has a lot of development momentum, he is only a deputy department level after all, especially now that he has taken up a post in the remote county town of Xinleng, he has not had any opportunity to get to know the senior leaders, nor has he had any opportunity to show his level and ability to the senior leaders

This time, when he heard that Secretary Lu of the Provincial Party Committee was going to come to several counties and cities of K City for investigation, a huge hope suddenly rose in his heart: if Secretary Lu could come to Xinleng County for investigation, he had full confidence that Secretary Lu would appreciate and attach importance to himself

Then, the news that came later made him feel like someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head from head to toe: Secretary Lu's research scope this time included Zijiang County, Xishan County, Shizhu County, several large agricultural counties, but there was no Xinleng County in the itinerary, just passing by Xinleng......

In addition to being disappointed, Shen Youbin was not discouraged and desperate, and still asked the relevant departments to arrange various reception and security work, and hoped that Secretary Lu would see the new style and new appearance of Xinleng County when he passed by Xinleng, and suddenly on a whim, he wanted to stop here for a day or two, and it was an unexpected joy......

When Shen Youbin was anxious and regretful, and at the same time faintly had a glimmer of hope, waiting for Secretary Lu to pass through the new cold, in the General Office of the Tianjiang Provincial Party Committee, the relevant departments were also busy preparing for Secretary Lu's first trip to investigate

Secretary Lu has already explained to the general office: this trip should be light and simple, never engage in police cars to open the road, do not allow the members of the city and state teams to go to the border to greet each place, accompany the research personnel only to the local party and government leaders, and only one of the two leaders can accompany them, and it cannot affect the local work

Moreover, he also wrote down the specific itinerary in person for the first time: set off on November 27, first went directly to Zijiang County for 3 days of research, and rushed to Xishan County for one day of research on the afternoon of November 29; On the morning of December 1, I rushed back from Xishan County and went to Shizhu County through Xinleng County for a day of investigation......

Many people feel a little strange I don't know why Secretary Lu rushed to Zijiang County first, and he had to investigate in Zijiang for 3 days: because in all the counties and cities of K City, Zijiang County's economic development is neither top-notch, nor particularly backward, it belongs to the lower middle level, and it has no characteristics and advantages, and there is no development experience that is particularly worthy of promotion and research, so they can't figure out why Secretary Lu chose to stop in Zijiang County, which is not very valuable for research, for 3 days......

Only Secretary Lu's driver Xu Lizhong vaguely guessed his intentions: Secretary Lu was going to stop in Zijiang for 3 days It is very likely that it was for his college classmate named "Zhao Han" Because judging from Secretary Lu's words and deeds when he asked him to go to Zijiang to find Zhao Han, this woman named Zhao Han must have a very important position in Secretary Lu's heart Although Xu Lizhong didn't know what their relationship was, he could see that Secretary Lu was looking for this woman in a hurry......

Xu Lizhong's guess is not wrong at all: the reason why Secretary Lu stopped in Zijiang for three days was to attract the attention of Zhao Han, who might live somewhere in Zijiang, through local TV and newspaper reports

He hoped that Zhao Han would be able to take the initiative to come to him before her birthday on December 2, because he still had a birthday gift to give her that he had treasured for more than 20 years

The gift was a knee-high gray tartan velvet coat

More than 20 years ago, when Zhao Han had not left school, once Lu Zhiyao and her secretly went shopping near the school, in a store, Zhao Han fell in love with this woolen coat, and tried it on in the fitting room, it was very fitting and very beautiful

At that time, Lu Zhiyao wanted to buy it for her, but Zhao Han thought it was too expensive and resolutely refused to let him buy it

A few days later, Lu Zhiyao secretly went to buy this woolen coat and prepared to give it to Zhao Han as a birthday gift on December 2nd

But he didn't expect that in mid-November, Zhao Han mysteriously disappeared......

For more than 20 years, the woolen coat had been hidden in his office, and every once in a while, he would take it to the dry cleaners for maintenance and washing, so even though more than 20 years had passed, the woolen coat was still as good as new

If he went to Zijiang this time, if he found Zhao Han, he wanted to give her this birthday gift, which was more than 20 years late, but his wish for many years
