After rushing back to Tianjiang Province by plane from Yunnan Province, Ye Ming did not rush back to Beishan, but quietly went to Secretary Lu's residence and reported to him in detail how he led people to rescue Zhou Xinliang.

"Did Comrade Zhou Xinliang tell you anything? What does he say about you? ”

Ye Ming said a little embarrassedly: "When we were separated in Yunnan Province, Minister Zhou said a few words to me alone, saying that my wisdom and courage impressed him, and that I was his savior, and if I had the opportunity, I must go to the capital to talk to him!" ”

Secretary Lu showed a look of relief on his face, subconsciously rubbed his palms, and said happily: "Xiao Ming, this is a good thing, you have to seize this opportunity, rush to the capital as soon as possible, meet Comrade Zhou Xinliang, and have a good chat with him." As far as I know, Comrade Zhou Xinliang will definitely enter the Politburo after the conclusion of this year's party congress, and he may enter the Standing Committee in the next term. Comrade Zhou Xinliang is only 48 years old now, very young, and his future is limitless, so you must make good friends with him. ”

Then, he frowned and asked, "What are you going to do with Ding Tiansheng's mistress?" ”

Ye Ming thought for a while and replied: "According to what I know, Li Xiaoqin is a woman who doesn't have much scheming and city government, and her feelings for Ding Tiansheng are not deep, and the two of them are just a power transaction. After Ding Tiansheng's death, Li Xiaoqin was very scared, and on the way back to China, she took the initiative to talk to me once, crying and begging me to find her to intercede with the relevant departments, and not to arrest her and sentence her to prison. Later, Su Xueling also interceded with her, saying that she would not say anything, and just wanted to find an honest man to marry and live a peaceful life. And as far as I know, Li Xiaoqin only knows that I am Xiao Benben's father, and I don't know anything about my real relationship with you, so she shouldn't be a big threat. My opinion is that the public security or procuratorial organs should open a case against her, give her a suspended sentence, and then ask the comrades of the public security organs to monitor her, and there is no need to send her to a prison cell. ”

Secretary Lu nodded and said, "Okay, just do it according to your opinion." That Su Xueling played a key role in saving you, and you can't forget her kindness. My idea is to transfer her to the Provincial Department of Culture, and let the person in charge of the Department of Culture take proper care of her and give full play to her talents. ”

After the two of them discussed, Ye Ming returned to Beishan, and after taking care of some urgent official business for a few days, he rushed to the capital to reunite with Xia Chuchu, and then went to visit Zhou Xinliang, and invited Zhou Xinliang, Wu Dongsheng, and Li Weidong to have dinner and tea together that night, which made Zhou Xinliang even more impressed with him......

After returning from the capital, Ye Ming used another weekend to rush to Xijiang Provincial City, visited Secretary Li Runji and his wife, visited Chen Mengqi's mother and daughter, and took Xiao Jingjing to nearby attractions for a day with Chen Mengqi. From this day on, Chen Mengqi quietly went to Beishan to visit Ye Ming once a month......

Soon, Xia Chuchulin gave birth to a son, and Xia Chuchu named him "Ye Chuhe", which means that she and Ye Ming will be harmonious and beautiful for a lifetime......

At the end of that year, Ye Ming won the honorary title of National Outstanding County Party Secretary, and went to the Central Party School to study for three months, and was immediately promoted to the deputy department level of the Standing Committee of the Min'an Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Beishan County Party Committee, and set a precedent for the Standing Committee of the Min'an Municipal Party Committee and the secretary of the County Party Committee......

In the third year of Ye Ming's tenure in Beishan County, Fuxin Science and Technology Industrial Park became the second and first high-tech industrial park in the country, and the Meishan Lake Film and Television Base jointly invested by Zhang Yan and Zhao Tianxing became a popular tourist attraction and the largest film and television shooting base. This year, the total financial revenue of Beishan County reached more than 18 billion yuan, ranking third in the entire Tianjiang Province, and before Ye Ming arrived in Beishan, the county's financial revenue ranked among the bottom ten in the province......

In the fourth year of Ye Ming's tenure as secretary of the Beishan County Party Committee, under the joint operation of Secretary Lu and Li Runji, Ye Ming was transferred across provinces to Jingping City, Xijiang Province to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. The reason why Li Runji wanted to transfer him to Jingping City to serve as secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission was because the corruption problem in the city was becoming more and more serious, and there were all kinds of indications that the corruption problem in Jingping City involved the principal leaders of the provincial party committee, and even the wife and son of Wang Zhihao, secretary of the Xijiang Provincial CPC Committee. Li Runji knew that Ye Ming was capable and the person he trusted the most, so he quietly discussed with Secretary Lu and transferred Ye Ming to Jingping City in a way that was not noticeable.

Since he was transferred to the post of secretary of the Jingping Discipline Inspection Commission, Ye Ming has been confronted with an extremely mysterious, treacherous, and extremely dangerous corrupt interest group, and has begun another round of life-and-death struggle against all kinds of corrupt elements......
