pinnacle of power

"Secretary Liu, I will pay for this for you!"

"Boss, I'll give you the meal money!"

"Secretary Liu, we will let you loose!"

All of a sudden, the whole breakfast booth became lively. Everyone surrounded Liu Qingyu, shook hands with Liu Qingyu, and took photos with him to express their deep gratitude to Liu Qingyu. One of them was in his 70s with gray hair The old lady held Liu Qingyu's hand tightly with both hands and said: "Secretary Liu, this is the first time I have seen a person like you who dared to fight against the Communists in my life. Down with Sun Yulong and his gang of corrupt officials has solved a lot of problems for us common people! The people of Dongjiang City will thank you."

Liu Qingyu quickly said: "Old lady, this is what I should do, who made me the secretary of the Disciplinary Committee!"

At this time, a 30-year-old office worker next to him said loudly: "Secretary Liu, you have had several secretaries of the Disciplinary Committee before, but none of them can carry out anti-corruption as aggressively as you. Secretary Liu, you are the leader of our Dongjiang City. Saviour!"

The north wind howled, and heavy snow began to float in the sky.

However, more and more common people gathered at the breakfast stand, especially when everyone heard that Liu Qingyu was leaving Dongjiang City, many people gathered around one after another, and the news that Liu Qingyu was leaving seemed to be a long-awaited news. Like wings, it spread in the streets and alleys of Dongjiang City.

In less than 10 minutes, the streets around Liu Qingyu were already full of ordinary people from Dongjiang City.

Goose feathers and heavy snow unscrupulously beat people's faces, but no matter if they were grandparents in their 70s or [-]s, or children in their teens, everyone looked at Liu Qing with eyes full of respect and gratitude. In Yu's direction, although Liu Qingyu had already been surrounded by layers of crowds, everyone's eyes were still looking in Liu Qingyu's direction.

The snowflakes fell on people's faces and necks. People didn't have the slightest intention of avoiding them. The hot gratitude in their eyes had already melted the snowflakes and cold wind.

Seeing that he was surrounded by ordinary people, Liu Qingyu knew that he had to leave quickly, because the wind and snow were relatively heavy and the weather was too cold, and the ordinary people would freeze if they waited.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingyu clasped his fists at the people around him, and said with a moved face: "Everyone, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, thank you very much for your concern for me, Liu Qingyu. I am here to thank everyone. Can you please Everyone, please help to make way, I have to leave quickly, if I don’t leave, those friends in front will have to wait in the cold wind.”

After hearing Liu Qingyu's words, everyone took action immediately, and soon, the common people spontaneously reminded each other and pulled to make a straight passage for Qin Ruijie's car.

At this moment, Zheng Bofang, Tang Shaogang and others who had received the news of Liu Qingyu's early departure were standing on the periphery of the crowd. They couldn't even rush in if they wanted to, so they could only desperately wave goodbye to Liu Qingyu.

Qin Ruijie and Liu Qingyu got into the car, started the car, and moved forward slowly.

At this time, the people at the breakfast stall suddenly waved the 10-yuan bill Liu Qingyu gave them and waved their arms loudly: "Secretary Liu, where is your meal money still here? I can't charge you for your meal, you He is the great savior of our Dongjiang City!"

While talking, the boss moved the crowd and wanted to rush over, but he couldn't move an inch.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his 40s said to the common people: "Boss, put it away. Secretary Liu never took bribes from anyone when he was an official in our Dongjiang City, and never asked us for any bribes from the common people." For the benefit, he is about to leave, you can't let him have a bad reputation!"

The owner of the breakfast stall gave a bitter smile and stopped in his tracks: "Yes, Secretary Liu is really a rare official! If all officials in Dongjiang City can be like Secretary Liu, our business will be much easier. It's a pity Ah, every month someone will come to collect fees of various names, although the big corrupt officials have been solved, but those little devils are difficult to deal with."

The middle-aged man immediately showed displeasure on his face and said: "I said, boss, you can be content! Since Secretary Liu arrived, haven't those brats restrained a lot compared to before? In the past, you were not allowed to take seven or eight Go and deal with them, now under Secretary Liu's shock, they only dare to ask you for two or three hundred a month at most!"

The owner of the early stall nodded vigorously: "Yes, when Secretary Liu was here, we ordinary people really got benefits, but I don't know if Secretary Liu is gone, will we have to continue to endure those things like before? The harassment and barbaric demands of cats and dogs!"

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "Who knows."

Although the two were chatting, their eyes were fixed on the direction where Liu Qingyu left, and their eyes were full of gratitude and nostalgia.

The sky was full of snowflakes, and Liu Qingyu left Dongjiang City by car.

The people of Dongjiang City lined up along both sides of the street, waving farewell to Liu Qingyu with tears in their eyes. Along the way, Liu Qingyu had already opened the car window, and the people around him were constantly The common people waved their hands.

While driving the car, Qin Ruijie sighed and said, "Liu Qingyu, if every official in China can win the respect and reluctance of the common people like you before leaving, we will realize the dream of China in real time." In front of you!"

Liu Qingyu said with a bitter smile: "Ruijie, to be honest, I think I just did what a Communist Party member and an official should do. As long as I am an official Only those who can realize this point, as long as they can really pretend to be ordinary people and their own work in their hearts, then almost 50% of the officials can reach my level. Set your mind to work."

Speaking of this, Liu Qingyu only let out a long sigh...

The car drove away from the urban area of ​​Dongjiang City, the snowflakes gradually became smaller, and the people who were seeing off behind were gradually moving away and disappearing.

Since it just snowed, there was only a thin layer of snowflakes on the road, and the snow fell relatively lightly near the expressway, so the expressway was not closed yet. Liu Qingyu and the others drove into the expressway and drove towards Liaoyuan City, the provincial capital.Liu Qingyu felt that since he had been dismissed and had no other arrangements now, he might as well go back to his hometown in Yanjing City, stay with his parents and grandparents, and show his filial piety.

At this moment, Liu Qingyu's cell phone rang.

It was Zeng Hongtao calling.

Liu Qingyu was still somewhat dissatisfied with Zeng Hongtao, so he didn't answer the phone immediately.

After the phone rang a few times, Liu Qingyu estimated that the other party would not call him again.

However, just as the phone rang, it rang again soon.

Qin Ruijie glanced at Liu Qingyu's cell phone out of the corner of her eye, and found that it was Zeng Hongtao's call. Qin Ruijie immediately urged anxiously: "Liu Qingyu, it's Secretary Zeng's call, answer it quickly."

Liu Qingyu said with a hint of resentment: "What's wrong with Secretary Zeng, isn't he just crossing rivers and tearing down bridges?"

Although he said so in his mouth, Liu Qingyu connected the phone after the phone rang a few times.

"Liu Qingyu, come to the Provincial Party Committee immediately. I have something important to talk to you. I'll be waiting for you at the Provincial Party Committee." Zeng Hongtao's very serious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Liu Qingyu said with a bit of fatigue: "Secretary Zeng, I'm a little tired. It just so happens that I don't have any work right now. I want to take a good rest."

"Rest? I think you don't want to think about it. I have a county party secretary here who needs you to go to the emergency. Come here quickly. Now this matter is very urgent. The people in Ruiyuan County, Nanhua City are treating you I am looking forward to it, I need to interview you on behalf of the provincial party committee to see if you are qualified for the post of secretary of the county party committee." After finishing speaking, Zeng Hongtao hung up the phone directly.

Listening to the beeping busy tone on the phone, Liu Qingyu's heart was turbulent, and his face was full of shock: "You want me to be the secretary of the county party committee in Ruiyuan County, Nanhua City? Is it impossible? Secretary Zeng said What kind of tricks are you playing? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Are you testing me?"

Qin Ruijie said with a smile: "I think it is very likely that Secretary Zeng was testing you before, otherwise, how could he help you find such a position? Liu Qingyu, I think you are really on the official career express this time Oh, Secretary Zeng is the No. [-] Provincial Party Committee of Baiyun Province. Under normal circumstances, how could he ask you about the job adjustment of a small department-level cadre? Just those department-level personnel tasks are enough to keep him busy for a while Yes. I think Secretary Zeng must have developed a love for you. Because of this, he has very strict requirements on you.

I think it is impossible for Secretary Zeng not to know that Li Wanjun directly dismissed you as Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, let alone his true intentions, but he just stood still. This should be a test of your heart and willpower. After all, it is very normal to have ups and downs in the officialdom, and you can only go further if you can pass this kind of test. "

Liu Qingyu nodded vigorously after listening.In fact, why is Liu Qingyu not clear about these truths?It's just that it's clear, but Liu Qingyu is not that kind of old fritters after all, but a young man who has just passed his 24th birthday for about half a year, and his temperament is sometimes impetuous. There was a trace of resentment.

But at this moment, the resentment in Liu Qingyu's heart has completely disappeared. After experiencing the ups and downs of emotions this time, Liu Qingyu has matured a lot all of a sudden, and he has seen many things more clearly.But at this moment, Liu Qingyu didn't feel the joy of becoming the top leader of the real power, but more of a heavy burden on his shoulders.He could hear Zeng Hongtao's words clearly just now. Secretary Zeng asked him to go to Ruiyuan County, Nanhua City to rescue him.

A question came to mind: "What happened in Nanhua County? Why do you need to rescue yourself?"
