pinnacle of power

That night, Liu Qingyu stayed at the Nanhua Municipal Party Committee Guest House for one night. At 8 o'clock the next morning, he came to the Municipal Party Committee compound on time as agreed, first reported to Niu Zhensong, Executive Deputy Director of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, and then followed Niu Zhensong They came to Mayor Huang Lihai's office together, and after Huang Lihai arranged his work, the three of them formed a convoy in two cars and two accompanying vehicles, with the police clearing the way in front of them, and rushed to the Ruiyuan County.

The road from Nanhua City to Ruiyuan County is quite good, and there is an expressway until the edge of Ruiyuan County.Along the way, Liu Qingyu looked at the scenery and customs on both sides of the highway, and nodded frequently. This Nanhua City is indeed worthy of being a big economic city. After coming out of the urban area of ​​Nanhua City, plastic greenhouses can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road. , It is spectacular, and when you go out, you can see some industrial enterprises distributed on both sides of the road, and you can see one within a short walk.

However, when Liu Qingyu saw the road sign indicating that he had entered Ruiyuan County, he discovered a fact that made him extremely depressed, that is, the stretches of plastic greenhouses he had seen before had almost disappeared. There is not even a single enterprise. On both sides of the road, there are only stretches of farmland at a glance. There are even many farmlands that have been abandoned for several years. Even though it is winter, you can still see patches of dry grass.

As the convoy got closer to the exit of the expressway, Liu Qingyu's heart sank a little bit. He found that some villages had begun to appear on both sides of the expressway, even if there were guardrails deliberately blocking them to prevent passers-by from seeing the countryside. General situation, but Liu Qingyu can still see that the villages on both sides of the road are almost full of low and dilapidated houses. Occasionally, one or two brick and tile houses appear, which makes them stand out from the crowd.

The convoy came to the intersection of the expressway and stopped just after leaving the toll booth, because outside the toll booth of the expressway, two long lines of convoys had already parked. People, when these people saw Liu Qingyu and his team coming out, they all bent over.

The convoy stopped, and among the welcoming crowd, a man in his 40s with a slightly fat body and a smile on his face walked in the front. He came directly to Mayor Huang Lihai's car behind the police car, and stretched out his hand to open the door for Huang Lihai. , put your hands on the roof of the car to prevent the other party from bumping their heads.

Only then did Huang Lihai get out of the car unhurriedly.

At this time, Niu Zhensong and Liu Qingyu, executive vice ministers, also opened the door and got out of the car.

After getting out of the car, Huang Lihai looked around, looked at the man in the lead with a gloomy face, and said, "Comrade Wei Honglin, as the magistrate of Ruiyuan County, how could you disobey the instructions of the provincial party committee and run to the intersection of the expressway to greet you?" Come and send this set? Your behavior is extremely incorrect, do you know that?"

Liu Qingyu found that Huang Lihai's tone was very severe when he spoke, and Wei Honglin next to him was also very cooperative, and quickly lowered his head with a very guilty look and said: "Mayor Huang, I'm sorry, I was wrong about this matter, I It must be changed, but I think that you are the old leader of our Ruiyuan County. You have led the people of Ruiyuan County to create glory for many years. The people of Ruiyuan County are all grateful to you. We old subordinates can only use this Actions can show our respect and gratitude to you, and I am willing to accept punishment."

Huang Lihai glanced at the crowd coldly, and then said in a deep voice: "Since you have already admitted your mistake, let's stop this matter, but you have to remember it for me, don't be an example, if I find out that this situation, severe punishment will not be forgiven.”

Wei Honglin nodded quickly like a chicken pecking rice: "Okay, okay, Mayor Huang, don't worry, we will definitely change it."

Just when Huang Lihai was getting worse and Wei Honglin was talking over there, Niu Zhensong who was standing beside Liu Qingyu said in a low voice: "Xiao Liu, as far as I know, this situation like today has happened many times, and every time the two of them have That's the conversation."

What Niu Zhensong said made Liu Qingyu's body tremble.

If what Niu Zhensong said is true, it explains a few things. First, Wei Honglin did this on purpose, and he never changed after repeated admonitions. The high-standard reception gave Huang Lihai enough face, and although Huang Lihai always said that he would deal with Wei Honglin , but they just talk about it every time, which shows that Huang Lihai enjoys this high-standard welcoming and sending ceremony very much. If Wei Honglin really doesn't come here to greet him, Huang Lihai will probably be unhappy.

After Huang Lihai criticized Wei Honglin, he called Liu Qingyu and Niu Zhensong over, and said with a smile: "Comrade Niu Zhensong, please introduce comrades in Ruiyuan County to Comrade Liu Qingyu. Let's meet briefly first. About initial impressions."

Niu Zhensong was also polite, pointing to Wei Honglin and said: "Comrade Liu Qingyu, this is Comrade Wei Honglin, the magistrate of Ruiyuan County, and he will be your deputy in the future. You two will lead the comrades of the Ruiyuan County Party Committee and County Government together. Do a good job in the work of Ruiyuan County. Comrade Wei Honglin, next to me is Comrade Liu Qingyu, the new secretary of the county party committee of your Ruiyuan County."

When Wei Honglin saw Liu Qingyu for the first time, he thought he was Niu Zhensong's secretary, but when he heard Niu Zhensong call Liu Qingyu's name, he froze.Although he had heard of Liu Qingyu's name and knew that Liu Qingyu was relatively young, he never thought that when he actually saw Liu Qingyu, he found that Liu Qingyu was younger than he imagined.

Wei Honglin couldn't help but have a question in his mind: "Is the provincial leader blind? By sending such a young person down as the secretary of the county party committee, can the work of Ruiyuan County be done well? Don't say anything else. The standing committee members of Ruiyuan County Party Committee casually poked around. The youngest member of the Standing Committee is 39 years old, but Liu Qingyu, the dignified leader, looks like a college student who has just graduated. Can such a person convince the public? Do you want to boost the economy of Ruiyuan County? Could it be that the previous publicity reports about Liu Qingyu’s investment promotion were all bragging?”

However, Wei Honglin is a scheming master. Although he had contempt for Liu Qingyu in his heart, after hearing Niu Zhensong's introduction, he immediately stepped forward, took the initiative to hold Liu Qingyu's hand and shook it for a while. , showed a very friendly look and said: "Secretary Liu, you are so young and promising. In the future, our comrades in Ruiyuan County and I will definitely cooperate with your work and strive for us to work together to make the economy of our Ruiyuan County Now that it has developed, our Ruiyuan County can rely on you to attract investment.”

Wei Honglin said the words very sincerely, and his attitude seemed to be very respectful, but Liu Qingyu heard some voice-overs from the words.When Wei Honglin talks, he always asks himself to lead the cadres of Ruiyuan County, which shows that he thinks that he can speak on behalf of the cadres of Ruiyuan County, and he said that he should rely on himself to attract investment, which is obviously A trap, if I really agreed to him, then if there is no result in attracting investment, he, the county magistrate, does not need to bear any responsibility. Instead, he, the county party secretary in charge of personnel work, needs to take responsibility.

The first time they met, Liu Qingyu could tell that this Wei Honglin was definitely an old fox. Although this old fox was smiling and polite, he was very deep in the city.

Liu Qingyu and Wei Honglin shook hands and said with a smile: "Major Wei, you are too polite. I am new here and I am not very familiar with the situation in Ruiyuan County. information, let’s work together to promote the work of Ruiyuan County.”

Liu Qingyu's words were very vague, and he didn't accept Wei Honglin's trap. At the same time, he also dispelled Wei Honglin's intention to represent other Ruiyuan County cadres in his words.

The smile on Wei Honglin's face grew wider after hearing this.However, there was a bit more vigilance in his smile.

Liu Qingyu's words made him realize that Liu Qingyu is not an easy young man, and he resolved his trap in a few words. It seems that he really can't treat this young county party secretary lightly in the future.

Later, Niu Zhensong pointed to a tall, thin and serious man in his 50s who was standing not far from Wei Honglin and said, "Comrade Liu Qingyu, this is Sun Xu, Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee of Ruiyuan County. Comrade."

Sun Xuyang immediately took two steps forward, stretched out his hands to hold Liu Qingyu's hand and said, "Hi Secretary Liu, welcome to work in Ruiyuan County."

While speaking, Sun Xuyang was still unsmiling, his face seemed to be always stern, which made Wei Honglin's smiling appearance form a sharp contrast.

Liu Qingyu and Sun Xuyang shook hands and said with a smile: "Everyone work hard together."

From the contact with Sun Xuyang, Liu Qingyu realized that this deputy secretary of the county party committee is definitely not a simple person, because with Liu Qingyu's current vision, it is easy for ordinary people to figure out the other party's personality through the other party's speech and demeanor. General character, however, he couldn't see any trace of this unsmiling Sun Xuyang.

This shows that this person has reached a certain depth in the cultivation of inner quality, and the more such a person is, the more powerful he is.Because you can't see through the other party, but the other party can see through you. This imbalance is itself a disadvantage.

Liu Qingyu was observing Sun Xuyang, and Sun Xuyang was also observing Liu Qingyu. Although Sun Xuyang didn't have any expression on his face, deep down in his heart, he secretly raised his vigilance towards Liu Qingyu.Because he saw Liu Qingyu's eyes showing deep fear and concern for him.

Later, under the guidance of Niu Zhensong, Liu Qingyu shook hands with other members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee of Ruiyuan County one by one, and had a clearer understanding of the members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee of Ruiyuan County.Ruiyuan County has a total of 11 members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee.

The secretary of the county party committee is naturally Liu Qingyu, the county magistrate Wei Honglin, the deputy secretary of the county party committee Sun Xuyang, the secretary of the county party committee for discipline inspection Shen Weihua, the head of the county party committee organization department Huang Junyi, the executive deputy county magistrate Xu Jianguo, the standing committee deputy county magistrate Fang Baorong, the secretary of the county political and legal committee Zhu Mingqiang, and the director of the county party committee office Song Xiaojun, Tang Ruiming, head of the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee, and Zhang Honggang, head of the County People's Armed Forces Department.

After everyone saw me, they got into their cars. The police car in front cleared the way, followed by a long motorcade.

Along the way, Liu Qingyu's brows were almost wrinkled into big pimples.Because he found that although the county seat of Ruiyuan County bears the name of the county seat, in fact, there are not many high-rise buildings in the county seat. Liu Qingyu's first impression of the entire county seat is three words—dirty, messy, Difference!
