This call Li Yuanlang was made to Ji Tianhou. I heard Sun Qi say that Boss Cheng was amazing, Li Yuanlang was not sure, and checked Boss Cheng and his Haitong Company on the Internet, but he didn't find anything wrong.

He remembered that Ji Tianhou had been deceived by a southern guest in the quarry, and Li Yuanlang suddenly thought, could this Boss Cheng be that person?

When he called Ji Tianhou's mobile phone, Ji Tianhou had just come out of Wang Zumin, and said uncharacteristically very calmly: "Yuen Long, are you congratulating me?" You're pretty well-informed. Minister Wang has just finished talking to me, and he will report to Gutong Town tomorrow to perform his duties. ”

"Mayor Mare?" Li Yuanlang didn't have this call in his heart, but instead it became a congratulatory call, but judging from Ji Tianhou's bland reaction, he was much more stable than before.

"The acting mayor, like your original acting mayor, needs a transition period."

"Tianhou, your current attitude makes me refreshed, it is completely different from the one who went to Shuiming Township to take office, and it is much more mature."

"Really?" Ji Tianhou sighed: "I also feel that those who looked forward to the stars and the moon before were waiting for this day." But I didn't expect it to come, but I couldn't arouse any interest, and it was unremarkable. Looking back now, what you told me is really right, County Magistrate Jin asked me to sit on the cold bench in the CPPCC Office to reflect, which is quite helpful to me. ”

"It's good if you want to understand, people can't go well in this life, there are setbacks and troughs, it's good to grit your teeth and stick to the past, and you can also develop perseverance and endurance, which is not a bad thing for those of us who are in politics. Only by resisting blows can we resist the storm. ”

Li Yuanlang sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Tianhou, Shao Wanyou is a good person, he has a close relationship with Deputy County Magistrate He, and he also has some friendship with me. After you go, you can communicate with him more if you encounter problems, and if you really can't solve it, find me, and I can still say a word or two with Shao Wanyou. ”

"Thank you for your heartfelt words, I will. Yuen Long, how are you there? Busy or not? ”

Seeing that Ji Tianhou happened to ask, Li Yuanlang explained the doubts in his heart, and sent the information of Boss Cheng to Ji Tianhou and asked him to help confirm it.

After a while, Ji Tianhou called him back, saying that Boss Cheng and the old southern guest he knew were not alone, so let him rest assured that he would communicate.

The next day, Li Yuanlong, Tan Gang, Liu Shuxi and Huang Wenfa went to Liujiadi Village by car. After all, it was the first time that Li Yuanlang set foot on this land after Liu Wanquan's accident.

Because they had been notified in advance, Liu Pinggui, deputy director of the village, Liu Shihai, the village accountant, and more than a dozen members of the village committee and individual party members stood at the door of the village committee to greet them.

Liujiadi Village is blocked by a small river in the middle and is divided into South Village and North Village. There are mostly people with foreign surnames in the South Village, and the North Village is the world of the Liu family.

To enter Liujiadi Village, you must first pass through Nancun, where the houses are dilapidated, and there are many adobe thatched houses, and the roads are rugged and potholes. But once you cross the small bridge, it is simply two worlds, straight cement roads, there are street lights on both sides of the road, most of the houses are mainly brick houses, and there are two or three two-story buildings.

The village committee is a large courtyard, a row of large tiled houses with white tiled plastic doors and windows, the windows are bright and clean, and the hall is very bright.

Opposite the village committee is a leisure square, fitness equipment and rockery fountain, this is in winter, if it is in summer, the rockery fountain once used, there is a unique scenery.

There is also an open-air stage in the westernmost part of the square, listening to Tan Gang, when the weather is warm, there are often singing and dancing performances, and occasionally movies are shown, which is very lively.

Li Yuanlang was silent, Liu Wanquan was really willing to spend the capital, but the money was spent unfairly, and it was spent casually for people surnamed Liu, but those people with foreign surnames simply became inferior citizens, one in the sky and one in the ground, such cadres have heavy selfish desires, and it is strange that they can do things for the people wholeheartedly.

Liu Pinggui is a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and very strong, not smiling or talking, very hearty and enthusiastic.

As soon as they met, they took the initiative to hold Li Yuanlang's hands and greeted him humbly: "Secretary Li, welcome to Liujiadi Village." ”

Li Yuanlang nodded and did not speak. Subsequently, Liu Pinggui introduced others to Li Yuanlang, and he didn't care too much about others, but when it was Liu Shihai's turn, Li Yuanlang took a few more glances at him.

This Liu Shihai seems to have some similarities with Liu Wanquan, mainly because of the eyes of the goldfish bubble. Although these glasses have double eyelids, they have a protruding appearance, similar to the eyes of a goldfish, which is why they have such a nickname.

Everyone greeted Li Yuanlang, Tan Gang and Liu Shuxi into the conference room of the village committee, and when they saw the furnishings here, they were much better than the meeting room of the township government.

After Li Yuanlang sat down, he looked at these people present, and asked, "Deputy Director Liu, why didn't you come to your Liu family today, Xin Minghao?" ”

Without waiting for Liu Pinggui to speak, Liu Shihai interjected: "I have already sent someone to invite, this Xin Minghao is too arrogant, he has been the village director, and he has been invited three times, and he is reluctant to come over, so he really can't do anything." ”

Liu Pinggui also said: "Yes, yes, Xin Minghao never takes us surnamed Liu seriously, and he is not of the same mind as us, so he said that after he stepped down as the village director, he never came to Beicun, that is, he asked for leave every time he held a party member meeting, which was too undisciplined." ”

"No, he's just big shelf."

"That's right, Xin Minghao is such a person, thanks to Secretary Liu for not bothering with him, he would have been expelled from Liu's family long ago."

Everyone is gossiping, and they are counting the number of people who believe in Minghao.

Li Yuenlong did not intervene, drank tea gently, and if Xin Minghao was not present, today's election would not have been held.

After about two cigarettes, Xin Minghao was late with a few talents. As soon as I came in, I saw him sweating profusely and panting, and saw Li Yuanlang showing a sincere smile, and accompanied him again and again: "I'm sorry Secretary Li, I'm late." ”

"Sit down." Li Yuanlang motioned for Xin Minghao and the party members to sit on both sides of the long table, but Xin Minghao sat on a row of chairs in the back and did not sit side by side with the person surnamed Liu.

Li Yuanlang did not force it, and said a few opening remarks, to the effect that he talked about the importance of the election of the village party secretary by the difference, and hoped that every party member present would grasp his own vote and elect a qualified branch secretary for Liu Jiadi.

Next, Tan Gang talked about the precautions and discipline of the election, after which the four candidates introduced themselves separately, and finally, it was the voting session.

This time, the village branch secretary was elected by a difference, and the so-called election by difference means that there are more candidates than the number of people who should be elected. For example, if there is a branch secretary and there are four candidates, then one vote or multiple rounds of voting will be adopted, and the final winner must have more than half of the votes.

It would be much easier to have an equal number of votes, that is, there would be only one candidate for everyone to vote for, and more than half of them would be passed. In most cases, candidates who are elected in equal numbers can pass, because they are not elected, and they can only "agree" and "disagree".

Therefore, this election will be more difficult, and it will never be smooth sailing, even with Li Yuenlong, the party secretary, in charge, the situation facing it is also very arduous.

This is an intra-party election, which is different from the villagers' election of village directors and members of the village committee, and there is no vote-taker. After the four candidates introduced themselves, a special person was responsible for distributing small pieces of paper to the village party members present, and each person could only write one person who he thought was a suitable candidate, and one more would be a waste vote.

Liujiadi Village includes Liu Pinggui, Liu Shihai and Xin Minghao, with a total of 21 party members, which is not a small number.

Mainly when Liu Wanquan was in power, he vigorously developed party members, and generally there were only two party members in a village every year, because Liu Wanquan and Ma Shengran had a close relationship, and there were three or four every year, so in the past few years, the number of party members in Liujiadi Village was the largest among all the villages in Shuiming Township.

Li Yuanlang, Tan Gang and Liu Shuxi moved chairs and sat against the wall and watched. Huang Wenfa's expression was gloomy today, he knew that he was a few pounds and a few taels, and this time he was purely here to accompany him.

Liu Shuxi told him at the time to report him to participate in the election of the party secretary of Liujiadi Village, and Huang Wenfa was excited for more than a minute, and immediately realized Liu Shuxi's intentions.

It's nothing more than to make him thank Liu Shuxi for his recommendation, isn't this nonsense if you think about it carefully? Huang Wenfa is not from Liujiadi Village, and the people here are very xenophobic, he is a foreigner with no roots and no vines, who will choose him?

Sure enough, when the results of the first round of the election were announced, Huang Wenfa received zero votes, and Liu Pinggui, who had the least number of votes, still had six votes, and he didn't have a single one. made his face flushed, and he couldn't help touching Liu Shuxi with his small triangular eyes, and greeted his ancestors one by one in his heart.

In the end, Liu Shihai received the highest number of votes, with eight votes, Xin Minghao with seven votes, Liu Pinggui with six votes, and Huang Wenfa with zero votes. Because no one had more than half of the votes in the first round, that is, eleven votes, according to the election system, the two people with the highest votes, Liu Shihai and Xin Minghao, entered the final round of the election.

Liu Pinggui was not disappointed, he was still smiling on his face, and he seemed to have been mentally prepared for a long time, which was much more mature than Huang Wenfa. Joy and anger are invisible, which shows that this person's psychological quality is excellent.

After a short break, everyone smokes, chats, drinks water or something, and then the second round and the most critical part of the voting will be held.

Li Yuanlang looked at the situation in front of him, holding his mobile phone tightly in his hand, his face was calm, but his heart was uneasy.

I don't know what happened to Zhang Guorui over there, whether he has gained anything, he is waiting for Zhang Guorui's news.

"Okay, please sit down, let's start the second round of voting." As the host's voice fell, there was another person responsible for handing out small pieces of paper, and then there was the rustle of writing.

A few minutes later, someone said that the small pieces of paper collected were handed over to the tellers, and then under the supervision of the scrutineers, the counting of votes was in full swing.

When it was all done, the moderator picked up the microphone, cleared his throat, and prepared to start reading.

At the same time, Li Yuenlong's heart also raised his throat, and he became more nervous than usual......
