Long Shengli saw that Secretary Xu asked about this matter again, and Mayor Li Hai was also frowning at him, knowing that he could no longer hide it, so he had to complain to Huang Shunfu about Zhong Chunhua and Wang Minghui from the county party committee office, Huang Shunfu called to accuse himself, and sent an investigation team to investigate and deal with Li Ying and told Xu Tianchang and Li Hai.

After hearing this, Xu Tianchang asked with some surprise: "Why does Comrade Huang Shunfu pay so much attention to the promotion of cadres at the department level in a county? Is there any hidden truth in this?"

Long Shengli guessed that the reason why Huang Shunfu did this was because there had been rumors and scandals between Li Ying and Song Nianyao, and he suppressed Li Ying's promotion out of jealousy. Of course, he didn't dare to say such a guess in front of Secretary Xu and Mayor Li, so he had to say insincerely: "Secretary Huang may also have been bewitched by those who made a small report to him, thinking that our promotion of Comrade Li Ying really violated procedures and principles, so he instructed the Organization Department and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate and deal with it, and there should be no hidden reason." ”

Xu Tianchang saw that Long Shengli's eyes were shining, and he was speechless, knowing that what he said might also be insincere, but because this matter involved the third-in-command of the municipal party committee. Moreover, as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee in charge of cadres and organizational work, Huang Shunfu also has the right to demand that the organization departments and discipline inspection and supervision organs investigate and deal with problems that may violate the relevant regulations on the selection and appointment of cadres. Therefore, although he had doubts, he didn't want to ask too much questions, but just said to Long Shengli: "Hurry up and call Li Ying and call him to Secretary Du's room, don't let Secretary Du wait for a long time." ”

Neither Xu Tianchang nor Li Hai had ever seen Li Ying, and they both wanted to meet him here at this moment to see what this young man who was so praised by Secretary Du and had an extraordinary relationship with Secretary Du was like.

A few minutes later, Li Ying hurriedly walked in from the outside of the State Guest House, and saw Xu Tianchang, Li Hai and Long Shengli standing at the door of the VIP building, and hurriedly stopped and greeted them with a smile.

Xu Tianchang and Li Hai saw that he was tall and straight, with handsome facial features, well-defined contours, and a bright and elegant smile on his face, which made people feel cordial and warm at first sight. The two of them involuntarily had a good impression in their hearts, and they quickly took a step closer and shook hands with Li Ying warmly.

Xu Tianchang shook hands and said with a smile: "Comrade Li Ying, just now we came out of Secretary Du and heard a lot of things about you. I didn't expect that we in Wushui County would have such an outstanding young talent as you in all aspects, and six years ago you were a member of the executive committee of the All-China Youth Federation and the chairman of the Foundation for Poverty Alleviation and Poverty Relief. However, you are also to blame: not only have you changed your name and surname and changed all your files now, but you are also a little too modest to say a word about your past experiences and achievements. Fortunately, our Wushui County Party Committee and Comrade Long Shengli have a discerning eye and are ready to promote you, which has attracted the attention of Secretary Du of the Provincial Party Committee...... By the way, Xiao Li, Secretary Du has a lot of praise for you, I heard that you are still old acquaintances who have been dating for five or six years, right?"

Li Ying smiled and nodded.

Xu Tianchang patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Young man, work hard! Mayor Li and Secretary Long and I will always pay attention to your progress and growth, and I also hope that you will build a bridge of communication and contact between Mingguang City and Secretary Du, strive for more advantages and resources for the economic and social development of Mingguang and Wushui, and do your greatest responsibility for the construction of your hometown." ”

When Xu Tianchang said this, both Li Hai and Long Shengli looked at him with eager eyes and smiles.

Li Ying knew that what Xu Tianchang said about "building a bridge of communication and contact between Mingguang City and Secretary Du", to put it bluntly, in fact, he wanted to act as a link between them and Secretary Du in the future, but the words were just high-sounding, so he nodded and said: "Leaders, please rest assured." Mingguang and Wushui are my hometowns, and when I was in college, I was determined to contribute to the construction of my hometown. I believe that under your leadership, Mingguang and Wushui will certainly make great progress in their economic and social development. It is also an honor and opportunity for me to work under the leadership of all of you. I will definitely give full play to my strengths, contribute to the construction of my hometown, and do my best!"

Xu Tianchang and the others all nodded with satisfaction, watching him board the elevator, and secretly pondering in their hearts how to make good use of Li Ying, a subordinate with a strong wrist, in the future......

After Li Ying came to Secretary Du's room, he first gave him a half-hour massage to eliminate the fatigue of his car ride all the way. Then, I sat face to face with him and chatted about some things about Mingguang and Wu Shui. When it was almost six o'clock, the two of them went downstairs together. Xu Tianchang, Li Hai, Long Shengli, and all the Standing Committee members of Wushui County were waiting in the hall on the first floor of the VIP Building, and when they saw Li Ying and Secretary Du walking out of the elevator with a smile and a smile, many Standing Committee members showed envious looks on their faces.

At dinner in the evening, Secretary Du asked Li Ying to sit on his left hand side and Lin Xue to sit on his right hand side. A pair of golden boys and girls sat around a provincial party secretary, and even the waiters in the hotel looked straight at them......

The next day, that is, on the eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, Jinghua Company's "Ruikang Medicinal Materials Research Base" officially laid the foundation stone in Gulong Town, the western suburb of Wushui County. At 8:18 a.m., the groundbreaking ceremony began.

Because the groundbreaking ceremony was personally attended by the secretary of the provincial party committee and presided over by Lin Xue, the famous host of the provincial TV station, it caused a sensation in the entire Wushui County. People from the city and several nearby towns flocked from all directions, all wanting to see the demeanor of the provincial party secretary and Lin Xue. The Wushui police used ribbons around the tuping where the ceremony was held to fence off onlookers, and only those wearing red stripes of guests were allowed to enter the zone.

In order to show the excitement, Xing Lihua rented all the salute cars of several fireworks companies in Wushui County, and after the ceremony began, the salute rang out 108 times, and then Lin Xue took the stage to announce the beginning of the groundbreaking ceremony, and introduced the distinguished guests who came to participate in the ceremony to the people present.

Xing Lihua was particularly happy today. He didn't expect that Li Ying would be able to invite the secretary of the provincial party committee over. This is not only a good sign, but also the medicinal material base will receive a lot of care in terms of licensing, approval, and inspection in the future.

Li Ying has always stood with Secretary Long and other county leaders. When Lin Xue introduced the guests present today, he inadvertently glanced at the representative of Xing Lihua's investor, and suddenly found that there was a familiar person standing next to Xing Lihua.

Li Ying felt a little strange in her heart: How did this Zhou Biquan stand with Xing Lihua? Could it be that he came after Lin Xue's footprints?

Li Ying saw that this Zhou Biquan was interesting to Lin Xue that night, and it seemed that he was deeply poisoned. He is the general manager of Tianxing Group, and it is common for him to get to know Xing Lihua and follow him to attend the groundbreaking ceremony.

Soon, Xing Lihua saw Li Ying standing here, so he walked over with a smile and said, "Leng Zhenren, you are also our major shareholder, you should stand in our team! Come on, come on, let's go over and talk a few words together." ”

Li Ying shook his head with a smile and said: "Mr. Xing, my current identity is a staff member of the Wushui County Party Committee Office, a civil servant, and I am blatantly standing in the ranks of shareholders, I am afraid that it will attract criticism!

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Biquan over there, and asked casually: "That one over there seems to be General Manager Zhou of the Tianxing Group! Why is he also standing in your shareholder ranks?"

Xing Lihua asked a little surprised: "How did you know Zhou Biquan? Here's how: His father was also a veteran of Jinghua Company, and later went out independently to establish the Tianxing Group, but his shares in Jinghua Company are still there. Moreover, this time Jinghua Company invested in Wu Shui, and his father was very interested and asked to cooperate with us. Considering that he is a veteran, and Tianxing Group is strong and a listed company, they can reduce our financial pressure by injecting capital, so we agreed to his request for cooperation. Zhou Biquan came to attend the groundbreaking ceremony on behalf of Tianxing Group today. ”

Li Ying nodded, and glanced at Zhou Biquan again, only to see that he was also observing himself. At this moment, Li Ying suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, and at the same time, like every danger he encountered before, he only felt his blood churning......

His heart was shocked, and he glanced at Zhou Biquan again, and suddenly felt that his eyes were full of resentment and hatred, as if he wanted to devour himself......

After a little analysis, Li Ying immediately understood the reason why Zhou Biquan hated himself: he blamed himself for the failure of pursuing Lin Xue. It seems that it is necessary for me to be vigilant against this Zhou Biquan......

After the ceremony, Secretary Du held a symposium attended by the city and county levels, listened to the work reports of Mingguang City and Wushui County, and went to several small medium-sized enterprises such as nitrogen fertilizer factories and cement factories for a day of inspection, and then returned to the province.

After sending off Secretary Du, Xu Tianchang and Li Hai stayed in Wushui and held a retreat meeting to implement the spirit of Secretary Du's speech and promote the leapfrog development of Wushui's economy. At the meeting, Xu Tianchang specifically mentioned the issue of Li Ying's promotion and use: "Comrades, when Secretary Du met with me and Comrade Li Hai, Comrade Long Shengli, and Comrade Hu Bing, he gave profound and incisive instructions on the cultivation and use of talents. I would like to discuss this issue with all of you here, and once again listen to the opinions of the Wushui County CPC Committee on the issue of Comrade Li Ying's exceptional promotion. ”
