Li Xiang suddenly came to Lijiayan with a group of people, and walked into Yu You'an's place of work lively. Yu Youan hurriedly got up and greeted Li Xiang. Li Xiang took a stranger's hand and said, "Come, Director Yu, let me introduce to you, this is Boss Li from Fujian, and that one is Mr. Li Guangxing from Taiwan, and the last three are all from the Li Cultural Research Association, and they are distinguished guests." Then he introduced Yu Youan and Wang Linde to the guests. Yu Youan didn't understand the meaning of these people, but he also greeted them warmly. Then I heard Li Xiang say that Mr. Li and his entourage from Taiwan came specifically to Li Jiayan.

"I really didn't expect that Li Jiayan would have such a famous reputation in Taiwan and Fujian. Director Yu, it's worth celebrating. Li Xiang's voice was enthusiastic and exaggerated.

Boss Li of Fujian said in Mandarin: "Director Yu, thank you for your efforts for Lijiayan culture, we are all descendants of the Li family, Guangxing has set up a Li culture research association on Baodao, and a branch has also been set up in Fujian, and I am honored to be elected as the branch president." Today, I made a special trip to meet Li Jiayan. ”

Yu Youan sighed, feeling a little disappointed, thinking that it was a big deal, it turned out to be a family root. This kind of thing has seen a lot in You'an, every year there are always people from afar, looking for roots or worshipping ancestors, *** door sometimes symbolically come forward to support, cheering. But Wang Linde didn't think so, he said that this group of people was not simple, when they were in the county, they were accompanied by Minister Li Xiyue to eat, and the head of the organization department of the municipal party committee personally received them. Wang Linde said very mysteriously, Yu Youan laughed and didn't take it to heart.

Li Guangxing and his entourage were active in Lijiayan for most of the day, Yu Youan said that he was not feeling well and was not accompanied, Li Xiang's face was not very good-looking, but he didn't say much. Wang Linde accompanied him enthusiastically, and Zhang Shan also went, took a camera, kept taking pictures of them, and said that he wanted to record these activities truthfully. Many people poured out of the village one after another, and they gathered around to watch the excitement. At dinner time in the afternoon, Li Xiang suddenly said that he wanted to go back to the county seat to pick up the Taiwanese guests. Yu Youan didn't want to go, Wang Linde kept glancing at him, and Yu Youan reluctantly got into the car.

The banquet was very lively, in addition to the secretary of the county party committee, the leaders of the four major teams in the county at home all came, Yu Youan obviously felt that Li Xiang's appeal in the county was far greater than before, and his style of speaking and doing things was obviously more than before, and it was estimated that it was a sure thing for him to go to the county party committee, which could be felt from the attitude of the county cadres towards him.

Taiwan's Li Guangxing and Fujian's Boss Li are the center of the day, and they all revolve around them, Yu Youan is just a director of the cultural bureau, and most of the county leaders are simply polite to him, and they don't value him much, and they all go to Li Guangxing's investment plan. Li Guangxing said that he would invest 200 million yuan to build a Li cultural museum in Lijiayan and build a factory in the county seat, and he is the chairman of Taiwan's Guangxing Industrial Co., Ltd., and it is said that he is worth more than 200 million yuan. Boss Li of Fujian is engaged in foreign trade, which sounds like he is doing a lot of work, and his company is about to be listed in Singapore. There were two big businessmen here, and the atmosphere was naturally warm. Yu Youan really couldn't figure out whether this group of people came for Li Jiayan or for investment, and there was a faint sense of loss in his heart, and then Li Xiang pulled him to clink glasses with the guests, he barely touched a few glasses, answered the phone for some reason, put down the wine glass and went out.

Standing in the breezy courtyard, Yu Youan thought of what Zhang Shan said again, yes, you can't hold on to something anymore, you have to find a way to make up for the twenty-two monuments as soon as possible.

That night, they lived in the county seat, and Li Xiang asked the office to book a room, saying that it was too hard to go down and go back to the county seat to recuperate. Wang Linde drank a lot that day, and when he returned to the hotel, he was still discussing something enthusiastically. Later, Wang Linde knocked on the door and came in, and seeing that Yu Youan's face was not good, he asked cautiously: "Is the director uncomfortable?" Yu Youan said no, Wang Linde sat down gently, changed his serious expression, and said unnaturally, "Did the director sniff out anything?" ”

"Sniff out what?"

"County Magistrate Li's enthusiasm."

"He's just such a person, what's not enthusiastic?"

"No, Director, County Magistrate Li has a different enthusiasm for these people. I figured there was something famous in it. ”

"When did your old king use these brains, did he drink too much?" Yu Youan was a little unhappy, he suddenly didn't want to talk about Li Xiang that day, sensitive people are often fragile, and Li Xiang's scenery at the wine table stimulated him.

Wang Linde said with the help of wine: "County Magistrate Li is not a local, and it has nothing to do with Li Jiayan, I have verified this." However, some of the leaders above have a deep relationship with Li Jiayan, and the enthusiasm of County Magistrate Li probably comes from here. ”

"Lao Wang, what are you talking nonsense, the leaders above are also what you are figuring out?!" Yu Youan almost instinctively thought of Li Xiyue, somehow, the three words Li Xiyue have now become sensitive words, every time I think of Yu Youan, it hurts, I really can't avoid and face it, it's hard to face.

Wang Linde was not as excited as just now, lowered his head, sat down, and suddenly became emotional: "Director, I, Wang Linde, have no hope, no matter how I change this time, I am retired, I am unwilling for the director." ”

Yu Youan was stunned, he didn't expect Wang Linde to dig his heart with him on such a night, and a layer of emotion appeared on his face stained with alcohol, he endured it and didn't answer Wang Linde's words.

Wang Linde said again: "You can't sit and wait, Director, you will miss the opportunity if you wait." Look at them, which one is not moving around? During the evening of drinking, I heard that there might be a candidate for the director of the planning bureau, does the director know who it is? ”

Yu Youan's already magnificent heart seemed to be smashed into a stone by Wang Linde, he heard a bang, and after holding on for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "Who?!" ”

Wang Linde gritted his teeth for a long time, and finally said, "Luo Rufen!" ”

"What?!"

Evil gate, Nanzhou is completely evil, Sensei said that Yu Youan can't understand it, I'm afraid that even Lu Mingyang and Li Xiyue can't understand it!

Early the next morning, Yu Youan suddenly made a decision to return to Nanzhou. Wang Linde said that the following work is not over yet, do you want to hold on for two more days? Yu You'an ignored Wang Linde, and said to the senior section chief who came with him: "You and Section Chief Zhang go back to Lijiayan first, bring all the information, and at the same time say goodbye to the comrades in the county, saying that there is an important notice in the province, and we must rush back." ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Youan presided over a special meeting on the application of Nanzhou World Heritage Site, at which he talked about a lot of Lijiayan culture, half of which was told to him by Zhang Shan that day, talking and talking, and suddenly said: "Lijiayan has such a strong woman, their story moved me, shocked me, and I believe it will also shock every flesh and blood person." Culture has a spiritual core, what is the spirit of Lijiayan, that is, indomitable, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-improvement, this spirit is very consistent with the mainstream spirit we advocate today, and it is of positive significance to build a harmonious society and promote the construction of spiritual civilization in Nanzhou. I think that the 22 virgin monuments in Lijiayan have left us far more than these, it also has a richer spiritual connotation, especially the eight heroic martyrs of the Anti-Japanese Resistance, what they reflect is the strong and unyielding glory of our Chinese nation, and it is the bounden duty of our cultural workers to carry them forward, expand and pass them on. Yu You'an spoke passionately, and the people below listened to the enthusiasm, especially Wang Linde, who is a firm supporter and advocate of the Virgin Monument's inscription.

In order to declare this cultural heritage in a short period of time, in addition to the original working group for the application of the World Heritage Site, Yu Youan temporarily set up a working group for the application of the Virgin Monument for the World Heritage Site, with him as the team leader, Wang Linde as the deputy team leader, Zhang Shan and Du Yuwu were expanded, specifically responsible for the collection of materials and the sorting of reports.

After the meeting, Yu Youan took Du Yuwu and went straight to the provincial capital, he was afraid that the province would blame him, and he was even more afraid that there would be problems in the approval and identification links in the province. I didn't think that Deputy Director Wang, who was in charge of applying for the World Heritage in the province, was very happy to hear it, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Old Yu, that's right, you put something with a soul and don't report it, you have to make a fuss in the pile of ancient papers, okay, I support, the province will go all out to cooperate with you, and strive to make these 22 monuments famous throughout the country and become a spiritual symbol of Nanzhou and even our province." After speaking, Deputy Director Wang was still not at ease, afraid that Nanzhou's work would not be done properly, so he specially called two experts and asked them to go deep into Nanzhou and Lijiayan to help Nanzhou do a good job in applying for the World Heritage Site.

Yu Youan was grateful, and held a banquet in the most luxurious Jintian Restaurant in the provincial capital that night, and invited Deputy Director Wang and two experts. During the banquet, Deputy Director Wang said: "Old Yu, I think you are becoming more and more fascinated by culture, what's the matter, are you still thinking about change?" Yu Youan said proudly, "I don't want to think about it anymore, I want to take root in the *** door and be a leg of Nanzhou for the director of the hall in a down-to-earth manner." With that, Deputy Director Wang drank two more glasses, and he still didn't finish his words, "I don't like to be legs, if you want to do it, you will be a horse, a horse that carries the weight of Nanzhou culture and neighs for Nanzhou culture." ”

"Okay, I'll be a horse!" Yu Youan grabbed the cup and poured it down very boldly.

Back at the hotel, Du Yuwu asked with concern: "Does the director really plan to work in the cultural system and not move?" ”

Yu Youan stared at Du Yuwu for a long time, and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "What are you, I said Yuwu, why are you becoming more and more like a nerd?" ”

Du Yuwu blushed, and Yu Youan swore at the wine table, he really thought ......

This time, Yu Youan did not report to anyone, nor did he ask any leaders for instructions, according to his words, he made a decision for himself. In fact, he was afraid that if the report went up, the leaders would have to discuss left and right, but the time would be delayed, and if there was another change in the middle, then all the efforts would be wasted.

Taiwan's Li Guangxing and Fujian's Boss Li were active in Nanzhou for nearly ten days, and Yu You'an accompanied him again, and Ding Yuqing, the city's first secretary general, asked him to go. That day was to visit the Nanzhou Museum and several places of interest, Zhang Shan was the docent. In the middle, Ding Yuqing said: "What, is it that you are fascinated by the application for the World Heritage Site, and you don't care about other work?" Yu Youan didn't hear that Ding Yuqing was criticizing him, and said with a smile, "The secretary general really lifted me, which is fascinating, the province asked to report the twenty-two monuments, we didn't do enough in this work before, and we worked overtime for fear of criticism from the province." Ding Yuqing heard that it was a lie, and he didn't break it, his tone was kind, and said, "Yesterday, the mayor asked me how to prepare for the work of sending culture to the countryside, and it has been arranged for almost half a month, so why has there been no movement until now." Yu You'an sighed, as if he had forgotten this work, and after a long time, he suddenly patted his head, "I said how did my eyes jump, it turned out to be ...... This Wu Bureau, this work is handled by him, and the bureau meeting has decided, why shouldn't he take it seriously? As he spoke, he took out the phone and pretended to call Deputy Director Wu. Ding Yuqing hurriedly stopped and said, "Let's fight again when it's over, I also suddenly remembered it just now and asked casually." By the way, I've been in good shape lately, isn't it a good thing? Ding Yuqing's tone suddenly became ambiguous, and his eyes became shining, which was very meaningful.

Yu Youan looked at Ding Yuqing for a while, and suddenly understood that Ding Yuqing was probing the wind.

Since Lu Mingyang finished talking to him about that time, Yu Youan found that the leadership's attitude towards him had changed slightly, and he thought that someone must have captured some kind of information, otherwise, how could the high-ranking Ding Yuqing talk to him in such a tone. He smiled and said, "My wife has been idle recently, and she is waiting well." By the way, my wife asked for a secret recipe from the old Chinese medicine doctor, which is very useful for men, and one day I asked her to send the prescription and ingredients to my sister-in-law. ”

"Excuse me, my body can still bear it." As soon as Ding Yuqing heard that he didn't answer, he said a few perfunctory words and went to a crowded place, Yu Youan stood outside the crowd, and his thoughts suddenly returned to the cultural countryside.

This work is determined by the city, and several departments jointly send culture and science and technology to more than a dozen towns and towns, and they do it every year, and this year Che Shusheng wants to make it a little more grand. Yu Youan also attached importance to it at the beginning, and also included it in his recent important work. Who knew that once I had a meal with the deputy minister of the Propaganda Department, and in the middle of the conversation about sending culture to the countryside, the vice minister smiled quite meaningfully, just as the waiter refilled the water for you, the deputy minister borrowed the pot in the waiter's hand and said, "Now it's a pot with a kind of water, and we don't know which pot to drink." Yu Youan was secretly surprised, this obviously refers to the fact that Che Shusheng and Lu Mingyang are not consistent in many work, Che Shusheng advocated, Lu Mingyang opposes, Lu Mingyang mainly does, Che Shusheng grinds and grinds here, and he can't be active, so that the following departments don't know who to listen to. Yu Youan had a little more heart, and specially ran to ask Xie Xiuwen, thinking that if Xie Xiuwen supported, Lu Mingyang would at least not object, Xie Xiuwen was already very similar to Lu Mingyang at this time, whenever Lu Mingyang received guests, he must be accompanied by Xie Xiuwen, what activities does Xie Xiuwen have, as long as Lu Mingyang can vacate his body, he will come to cheer. Yu You installed a sample of how to prepare in the bureau, and planned to do something in this cultural trip to the countryside to report to Xie Xiuwen, Xie Xiuwen listened to less than half of it, and became impatient, Yu You installed it unconsciously, and insisted on finishing the report. Xie Xiuwen had a very bad attitude that day, and said in a critical tone, "Can you come up with something fresh, every year like this, the grassroots masses are disgusted, I don't think it's sending culture to the countryside, but sending trouble to the countryside." After speaking, the topic turned to the restructuring, and repeatedly asked Yu Youan to regard the restructuring work as the top priority, and he must not change it all at once, let alone learn from certain units, and the brand has been overturned.

"We can't do anything to change the soup without changing the medicine, you look at what the design institute and the institute of science and technology have changed, and you have to be prepared enough for this." Xie Xiuwen emphasized very seriously.

Yu Youan didn't dare to mention culture in the countryside again, so he made a bunch of statements about the restructuring work, and said a lot of things that Xie Xiuwen likes to listen to, so that Xie Xiuwen can be regarded as happy.

In view of this situation, Yu Youan did not dare to do anything more in sending culture to the countryside, and simply held a meeting, divided this work to Deputy Director Wu, and asked Deputy Director Wu to contact the Science and Technology Commission, how to prepare, and did not ask again after that.

Ding Yuqing said this, it must be Che Shusheng who has been angry recently, and has criticized the leaders of the following departments by name more than once at the meeting. Yu You'an knew in his heart that Che Shusheng was not angry, but venting his dissatisfaction, and he was becoming more and more passive and isolated in Nanzhou.

It is said that Nanzhou is now three tigers competing for each other, each standing on the top of the mountain, Yu You'an's view, the tiger of Che Shusheng, is becoming more and more incredible, the key is that there is no strong backing on it!

Seeing that others were walking away, Yu Youan quickly chased after them and followed Li Guangxing and them. Ding Yuqing walked with the director of culture, education and health of the National People's Congress, and it seemed that they were also talking about culture going to the countryside. Yu Youan suddenly felt a trace of sadness, the work is done to this job, it is chilling, Ding Yuqing is now sparing no effort to pull "support" to Che Shusheng and tie up "allies", but is this useful? Who in officialdom is not a wall-to-wall grass, and who dares to gamble on a person?

Adapt to the situation and the current pattern, so that you can seize the opportunity and not be eliminated from the competition.

In the afternoon, Yu Youan had some other thoughts in his heart, Li Guangxing and his entourage really had useful intentions, it was really not as simple as finding their roots. Yu Youan was almost certain that these people were secretly invited by Li Xiyue to create momentum for him. Li Xiyue is also forced to play this game of chess, and he must do something in Nanzhou in order to eliminate the negative impact of several incidents. Of course, it is not ruled out that Li Xiyue may take advantage of this to curry favor with Lu Mingyang and send Li Guangxing's big dish to Lu Mingyang's mouth, can Lu Mingyang be happy?

Yu Youan suddenly had an idea, why not take advantage of this opportunity to create some movement in Nanzhou? Didn't Lu Mingyang once emphasize to him that he wanted to hold a cultural tourism festival in Nanzhou, if Li Guangxing and them were instigated, the cultural festival would not be lively? This is a double thing, which not only caters to Li Xiyue, but also implements Lu Mingyang's instructions without showing the mountains and waters.

Yu Youan was not excited. After Li Guangxing and the others arrived at another scenic spot, he called Li Xiang and asked which unit would receive them in the afternoon, and if he needed to express himself from the Cultural Affairs Bureau? Li Xiang laughed at him late: "I said the big director, you just woke up, the four major teams in the city take turns to sit in the village, and the China Merchants Development and Reform Commission is still queuing, now you know why I am in a hurry to introduce them to you, right?" ”

Hearing that Li Xiang was playing tricks again, Yu Youan felt a little unhappy, Li Xiang has been too active recently, he is everywhere, there are discussions about him everywhere, almost catching up with Liang Jiping some time ago, Yu Youan doesn't like people who are too public, he likes to play steadily. I was unhappy in my heart, but I said, "Yes, yes, I'm stupid, I haven't seen such a good deal." Originally, the word "business" was deliberately made fun of Li Xiang, but Li Xiang answered, "Yes, big deal, the big director finally saw the way out." ”

In a word, Yu Youan thought a lot again.

The afternoon banquet was really organized by the CPPCC, Yu Youan followed the group to the hotel, the CPPCC secretary general with a group of people greeted outside the door, and when he got inside, he saw the chairman of the CPPCC, the vice chairman was all present, and the director of the investment promotion bureau and the two deputy directors of the Development and Reform Commission were also there, Yu Youan had to be surprised, or Li Xiang saw things thoroughly, his sensitivity was higher than him, and his imagination was also sufficient, but fortunately, he woke up in time. Yu Youan walked in generously, shook hands with the leaders, should be modest and modest, should be respectful and respectful, and should be played haha. Waiting to sit down, the secretary general of the CPPCC suddenly announced that Secretary Lu of the Municipal Party Committee will also attend today's dinner, please drink water first, and Secretary Lu will arrive at the meeting. Within five minutes of speaking, a secretary ran in from outside the door and reported something to the CPPCC secretary-general, and then listened to the CPPCC secretary-general say: "Secretary Lu of the Municipal Party Committee and Li Li, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of the Organization Department, have come to this evening's banquet in person, let us welcome them with warm applause." The hall immediately resounded with crackling applause, and Li Guangxing and Boss Li of Fujian stood up politely, looking at each other, their eyes full of enthusiasm. The others also stood up, Yu Youan applauded and looked at the door, Lu Mingyang and Li Xiyue walked in surrounded by a group of people, talking and laughing, the two were full of passion and high spirits, especially Lu Mingyang, it was like walking the red carpet.

What's so discordant, it's so harmonious! Yu Youan sighed nervously again, and said at the same time in his heart, a leader is a leader, and acting is several grades higher than others.

At dinner that day, Li Xiyue toasted Yu Youan, which was the first time that Yu Youan and Li Xiyue met in public since the money refund incident. Li Xiyue took the cup in one hand and saluted one by one, and when it was his turn, his eyes moved slightly, as if something deep was squirming, but it was just a few tenths of a second, and then he calmed down again. Yu Youan had already gotten up, with a formulaic smile on his face, but his eyes keenly captured every subtle change in Li Xiyue.

Li Xiyue smiled heartily and said, "Come, a glass to the director of culture, to build a harmonious society, Director Yu is the first to bear the brunt, I have worked hard recently, thank you." Yu Youan hurriedly bowed his waist, held the cup in both hands, and touched Li Xiyue shallowly, "Thank you, minister, minister is free, I'll drink dry." As he spoke, he tilted his neck and poured the wine into his glass. Li Xiyue was about to salute the next one, but as if he remembered something, he suddenly stopped and said to the deputy director of the organization department who was holding the wine bottle beside him, "You invite Guangxing and Boss Li over, and I want to introduce them to an important person." ”

Yu Youan was wondering, Li Guangxing and Boss Li of Fujian had come over with a spring breeze on their faces, Li Xiyue pulled the two and said, "I will introduce you to a talent, the first talent in Nanzhou, Yu Youan, the director of the Cultural Bureau." Yu Youan nodded at the two of them, and said politely that he had already met the two of them, and he saw them in Lijiayan. Li Xiyue didn't seem to hear it, and continued, "The two big bosses, if you want to play the Nanzhou culture card, we Director Yu are indispensable, he is an expert-level leader, our living treasure of Nanzhou, you should communicate with him more, I believe there will be a big harvest." Let's have a toast together. ”

Just a few words, Yu Youan was brought out at once, everyone's eyes instantly focused on Yu Youan's face, even Lu Mingyang at the other table also sent greetings with a smile, Yu Youan hurriedly bowed to Lu Mingyang, and when Lu Mingyang withdrew his gaze, he sat down nervously.

Next, Li Guangxing and Boss Li of Fujian came over with a cup in their hands from time to time, and warmly touched a cup with Yu Youan, and by the way, thank you for your care and advice. There are many department leaders who participated on this day, and the directors of the CPPCC committees are all there, and these people are not very good to You'an on weekdays, at most they will meet and nod, meaning, who still takes the director of the cultural bureau seriously? As soon as Li Xiyue raised it like this, the attitude of these people changed immediately, and Yu Youan soon became the object of everyone's "pursuit". Yu Youan didn't dare to float at all, and secretly glanced at Lu Mingyang while dealing with everyone, Lu Mingyang's glance just now made him feel dizzy, and he couldn't wake up a little.

Lu Mingyang didn't toast like Li Xiyue that day, but just raised a glass to everyone politely, and he naturally wouldn't lose his identity too much on this occasion. I didn't think that when the banquet was about to end, Lu Mingyang beckoned Yu Youan from a distance, Yu Youan walked over quickly, Lu Mingyang learned from Li Xiyue's introduction just now, and once again ceremoniously introduced Yu Youan, several guests got up to toast again, and the eyes of the audience were once again focused on Yu Youan. After the guests finished toasting the wine, Lu Mingyang lowered his voice and said, "How about the task assigned to you, I can wait to collect the homework." ”

Yu Youan said with unprecedented confidence: "Please rest assured, I will hand in a satisfactory answer." ”

"Good!" Lu Mingyang responded happily and picked up the wine glass, "Come, I'll also toast you." ”

This glass of wine can be regarded as giving Yu Youan enough face, and all the changes in Yu You'an in Nanzhou later are related to this glass of wine.
