Li Zihui checked in at the provincial party committee guesthouse and arranged for Li Yuanlang to enter the room to rest.

When he turned around and went out, he was stopped by Li Yuanlang.

He handed him a hundred-dollar bill, "Buy me a box of cigarettes, so you won't choke on your throat."

Li Zihui froze and didn't even move.

Li Yuanlang frowned and asked unhappily: "Why, don't you want to go?"

"No." Li Zihui shook his head and denied, "I think you have quit smoking, and relapse is not good."

"Haha!" Li Yuanlang couldn't help but tease, "Xiao Li, you smoker advised me not to smoke, it's really interesting."

"Secretary, I smoke because I have something in my heart, and I rely on nicotine to anesthetize my nerves. You are different. Blue Bridge needs you, and the people of Blue Bridge need you to have a healthy and good body. This is their common vision and it is the blessing of Blue Bridge."

When Li Yuanlang heard this, he burst into laughter, "Xiao Li, you can see that you are silent, you have a good idea when you flatter me."

Li Zihui said seriously: "Secretary, I am not flattering you, it is my sincere words."

"This time the provincial party committee was surprised, and you and the wise decisions of the provincial party committee, which eliminated the corrupt elements led by Fan Jun and the criminal gang of Qian Pinzheng and others. It was equivalent to saying that a major operation was performed on Lanqiao, which eliminated the long-term hidden cancer, revitalized Lanqiao, restored an orderly society, and made the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"The people are the kindest, simplest, and most grateful group. If we get a little bit of good, we will get their sincere support."

"Yeah." Li Yuanlang nodded frequently and praised: "Your point of view is very correct. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. As a leading cadre, it is our basic ethics and principle to care about the people and be loyal to the public."

"By the way," he asked Li Zihui curiously, "You said just now that you have something to worry about, can you tell me?"

Li Zihui took a deep breath, adjusted his breath, and said, "Secretary, I won't hide it from you. During the period of working with you, I can say that I am cautious and walking on thin ice."

"I know that Section Chief Fang's sacrifice has touched you a lot. In your mind, Section Chief Fang is irreplaceable. It just shows that you are a good secretary who values ​​friendship and friendship. It is my greatest honor in this life to work by your side."

"So, I cherish the hard-won precious opportunity, take Section Chief Fang as a benchmark and as an example, learn from him everywhere and imitate him. But I find that this is very tiring."

"Everyone has a different personality, just a twin brother, and it's the same. This is the law of nature, the original intention of human nature, and it's hard to change."

"As a result, I learned inappropriately and may leave a bad impression in your mind. I am very painful and worried about this."

"I often suffer from insomnia and have nightmares, and my sleep quality has dropped seriously. On the contrary, my smoking addiction is getting bigger and bigger, and my temper becomes unreasonable. It's almost common for me to have a quarrel with my wife."

"Secretary, I am not complaining to you, nor am I complaining to you. In my heart, you have always been the embodiment of justice and an idol that I can't meet. I care too much about the opportunity to learn from you."

Li Zihui became more and more excited as he spoke, and his tone became more and more rapid.

He found that he had a problem, so he hurriedly stopped his words and lowered his head to admit his mistake: "Sorry Secretary, I'm talking nonsense just now, please deal with me."

Li Yuanlang sat on the sofa and observed Li Zihui carefully. He did not interrupt when Li Zihui spoke, obviously thinking.

It was not until Li Zihui admitted his mistake that he waved his hand and said, "You didn't make a mistake, why did I deal with you? I'm not an unreasonable person. All the words you just said came from the heart, which is very good."

"You know everything and you can say everything. This sentence is suitable for anyone, and of course I also include me."

"I understand your mood. It's getting late. I'm going to take a break. In an hour, you remember to come and wake me up."

With a nervous heart, Li Zihui walked out of Li Yuanlang's room.

"Xiao Li." As soon as the door was closed, he heard Li Yuanlang call him.

When he returned, Li Yuanlang pointed to the hundred-dollar bill on the coffee table, "I've been talking for a long time, you haven't bought me a cigarette yet."

"Secretary, you..."

Li Yuanlang said calmly: "I need to smoke a cigarette. If I want to make a point, I will just need one. If there is too much, don't want it."

Seeing this, Li Zihui simply took out his cigarette and handed it to Li Yuanlang, "Secretary, if you don't dislike me, just smoke me, it's not good to smoke..."

"Yo!" Li Yuan                                                                                                                            �

Li Zihui hurriedly explained: "My father-in-law's family is in business, and I am a son-in-law..."

"I know." Li Yuanlang was not polite, and pulled out a cigarette and held it next to his mouth. Li Zihui hurriedly lit it for him.

Taking a sip, Li Yuanlang said slowly: "I also know that your father-in-law and Qin Zhiyuan have a close relationship. It is Qin Zhiyuan's work that you can come to work by my side."

When Li Zihui heard this, his heart tightened and his heartbeat accelerated significantly.

This Secretary Li is indeed extraordinary and knows everything about him. If he hadn't just said his heart, Secretary Li might not have told him this.

"I have always had the standard for choosing a secretary. My life experience is simple and innocent, and I prefer not to have a family background. Although your father-in-law's business is not large, it will have an impact on you in the long run."

"As for how to choose, I hope you think seriously." Li Yuanlang pressed out most of the cigarettes in the ashtray, got up and walked towards the inner bedroom.

Li Zihui was restless in the room next to him and couldn't help but call Qin Zhiyuan and told him in detail the conversation with Li Yuanlang.

Qin Zhiyuan, who was on the other end of the phone, was silent for a while before muttering: "At the age of 43, Secretary Li really has a plan, and I, Qin, are willing to give up the disadvantage."

"Don't look at him being lukewarm to you on the surface, he actually knew you a long time ago. I guess he was satisfied with your performance in all aspects. The reason why he is hesitant is because of your identity."

"As he said, all the secretaries who served him over the years came from the ordinary people. He was born in a city family. As his status grew higher and higher, it was inevitable that he would be farther and farther away from the people."

"This is normal and cannot be avoided from ancient times to the present. Therefore, he cannot understand the sufferings of the people in detail. He hopes that the secretary can provide more materials in this area so that he can discover and solve problems in his work."

"And you are now missing these things. This is the ambivalence that he wants to keep you and give up on you."

"Zihui, Secretary Li is right. You need to consider it and choose. Not to mention anything else. Once you officially become Secretary Li's secretary, your father-in-law will inevitably enjoy the dividends of your identity in business, which is also a precursor to alternative corruption."

"What should I do? I can't make a decision for you. You should also consider it yourself and discuss it with your family. I can tell you clearly that there is not much time left. When Secretary Li comes back from the capital, if you are still hesitating, your chance will be gone."

The last sentence is the focus of the entire call, and Li Zihui is about to suffer from insomnia again...

At six o'clock in the evening, Li Yuanlang came to the mysterious place in the car arranged by Fang Zhongqi.

He is familiar with the environment here and everything here.

When he was taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he was arranged to live here.

The place is still the same place, but things have changed, and at least I can’t see Fang Yan anymore.

Li Yuanlang was inevitably sad when he was moved by the scene.

Fang Zhongqi led Li Yuanlang to a private room. The private room was not big. There was a small table in the middle and two sets of tableware. It was obvious that he and Nie Shuanghan were the only ones tonight.

"Secretary Li, please sit first, Secretary Nie will come over later."

Li Yuanlang understood that after all, the secretary of a province is busy with official duties, so it is a great honor to be able to meet him alone.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Nie Shuanghan showed up.

After shaking hands and greetings, Nie Shuanghan directly asked Li Yuanlang to sit at the dining table.

The staff came up with four dishes and one soup, which was light.

Of course I have to drink wine, but Nie Shuanghan can only drink a small cup.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you drink or not. The key is that the content of the conversation tonight is the focus.

After sending everyone away, Fang Zhongqi closed the door and left. Nie Shuanghan raised his wine glass, Li Yuanlang held the glass with both hands to signal the air. Nie Shuanghan took a small sip, and Li Yuanlang drank it all in one go.

"Yuen Long, are you ready to go to Beijing this time?"

Li Yuanlang told the truth, "Secretary Nie, is it that I want to report to the leaders in Beijing about Lanqiao?"

Nie Shuanghan laughed, "I'm asking you, why are you asking me instead?"
