Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

Li Yueji's special car drove into the provincial government compound. A brand-new Audi was driving towards him. Li Yueji asked the driver to lower the window, stretched out his hand, and waved at the Audi that missed him. The Audi honked twice and drove away. It was the special car of a deputy governor.Li Yueji withdrew his hand, leaned on the back of the seat, his heart was pounding, and he relived the feeling he had when he came to the provincial government compound last time. Whenever she feels this way, she can't help thinking that if a mayor like herself wants to experience the anxiety of an ordinary person when going to the village committee or the township government to handle affairs, then go to the provincial party committee and provincial government. Come to the government compound, because in these two places, every pair of eyes facing you, the mayor of the bureau level, can reveal the superiority of power and the arrogance of the ruler.

Li Yueji handed over the compensation plan to the secretary-general of the provincial government. The secretary-general asked her to go to Vice Governor Zhang right away, saying that Vice Governor Zhang was waiting for her. Li Yueji came out of the Secretary-General's room, and instead of going to see Vice Governor Zhang, he went to the bathroom.After urinating, she stood in front of the wall mirror of the washbasin, opened the mouse-gray carry-on bag, took out a small delicate horn comb, collected the hair from her temples, and then began to reapply lipstick, and finally stepped back In two steps, he looked at the half of Li Yueji in the mirror carefully, and felt that he was strong enough, so he raised his head, left the bathroom, and took the stairs to the fourth floor.During this process, Li Yueji showed another kind of delicacy of being a woman on her mobile phone. She adjusted the ringtone of the mobile phone to vibrate.

When the corridor door leading to the top was pushed open, Vice Governor Zhang's office was exposed in Li Yueji's field of vision, and her heart beat! Back then, when Li Yueji jumped up to the position of deputy mayor, she almost missed nothing. Thanks to the deputy governor Zhang who supported her, and then lifted her up a little, her fate changed. From then on, Li Yueji took the initiative to stand in the team of Vice Governor Zhang. He always called to report to work when there was nothing to do.Especially this year, she doesn't know where to get the information. She heard that Vice Governor Zhang is expected to become the executive vice governor by the end of the year. Even if she can only talk to Vice Governor Zhang for a few minutes at a time, she can still be satisfied. Occasionally, if Vice Governor Zhang is busy, she can't give her a few minutes to report, and she doesn't care, because she is stepping on the land of the provincial capital. A phone call can still express one's feelings, especially when there is nothing serious to do, the effect of making a phone call is better than meeting each other. This is what she has tasted from practice.

Where is a person's career opportunities?Seventy percent is with your superiors! Li Yueji firmly believed in this sentence!Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity in the officialdom, she will get closer to the leader. Sometimes even when there is no opportunity, she can adapt to local conditions, improvise, and create opportunities for herself to get close to the leader. The year before last, Li Yueji participated in the "Three Lectures Experience Exchange Meeting" of prefectural and municipal leaders at the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee. Vice Governor Zhang attended the meeting and gave a report.After the meeting was over, Vice Governor Zhang was chased by something and hurriedly bid farewell to everyone. His robust back was pushed by the eyes of a group of prefectural and municipal leaders, and he walked towards the car.Just when Vice Governor Zhang was about to approach the car, Li Yueji suddenly ran out from the crowd, rushed to Vice Governor Zhang, raised the fool camera in his hand, and called the driver of Vice Governor Zhang who was standing beside the car to come over. Help me take a photo with Vice Governor Zhang.

This situation made all the city-level leaders behind her dumbfounded. Until Vice Governor Zhang's car drove away, there were still people staring in a daze! Because she followed Vice Governor Zhang too closely, in Shangjiang City and the provincial capital, some people who saw the reputation would inevitably grind their teeth with gossip. Li Yueji also collected some of the unique voices they made, but she did not like this. Or that kind of comment, always keep it calm, seems to deliberately create a hazy atmosphere between existence and non-existence, fiction and reality, and there is another suspicion, that is, deliberately using such a kind of inter-province Binding public opinion and gaining an invisible official status effect, in short, her relationship with Vice Governor Zhang has always been shrouded in a layer of mystery.

The door of Vice Governor Zhang's office was ajar. Li Yueji was at the door, stabilized his mood, looked down at his lower body, tried to spread a shy smile on his face, and felt that he was almost ready for warm-up, so he raised his hand and knocked on the door. Dang-dang--the sound of finger tapping, the rhythm is slow and the echo is long. Mayor Li, please come in. Li Yueji smiled, pushed open the door, met Vice Governor Zhang's eyes and said, "It's me, Governor Zhang." After shaking hands and exchanging some pleasantries, Vice Governor Zhang gave Li Yueji to the sofa.

Vice Governor Zhang glanced at his watch and said, Mayor Li, sorry, I can only give you ten minutes today, I have something to do later. Li Yueji nodded and said, I have reported to the secretary-general about the handover of the compensation plan, and I came here just to listen to Governor Zhang's instructions. Vice Governor Zhang said with a smile, whether it's instructions or concern, I'll just say a few words. Li Yueji took out his pen and notepad with a pious expression. First of all, from a macro perspective, Vice Governor Zhang emphasized the political significance contained in this handover work, and then pointed out to Li Yueji himself that although this handover is a step in her progress, it is also an opportunity to bring her The quagmire that engulfs the whole child, the choice between honor and disgrace, depends on how she dodges the red light on the way.

Vice Governor Zhang reminded her to keep a clear mind at all times, saying that the life of the Energy Bureau is not as good as it used to be, and it is also reluctantly reversing the road to a market economy. This can be seen from the adjustment of the national energy strategy. industry urgency. In addition, the power in the hands of the two heads of the Energy Bureau has not yet taken root under their feet. In this sense, in the matter of handover, whether it is for the overall benefit or their personal future, the two Personally, I must try my best to compete with Shangjiang City in terms of the gains and losses of the handover. What I want is to obtain capital from the work performance to get out of the power running-in period, so the handover is not a matter of haste. Let the fire simmer slowly, seek initiative in flexibility, seek progress in cooperation, and try our best to make the two municipal bureaus able to make their own bright colors in this matter.

Li Yueji raised his head and stretched his sore arms.At this time, she was already in the notepad, which filled two pages. Later, Vice Governor Zhang hinted to Li Yueji that the matter of handing over was very eye-catching in the province. Every step she took in this matter had to leave clear footprints on the ground. Li Yueji understood that Vice Governor Zhang wanted to handle the handover by himself, and he must not be sloppy, let alone use the interests of Shangjiang City to exploit his personal desires. After finishing the business, Vice Governor Zhang asked, Mayor Li, is it this time, or is it not my turn to treat you to dinner?

Although he understood that Vice Governor Zhang was speaking politely, Li Yueji still felt hot in his heart, and couldn't help saying, Governor Zhang, seeing that you are so polite every time, if you are so polite again, I would feel embarrassed to come here.In the evening, I sat down with Director Gong of the Construction Department. Oh, that Gong Changying.Vice Governor Zhang nodded and said nothing. At 5:40, Gong Changying came to pick up Li Yueji. On the way to the hotel, Gong Changying said to Li Yueji that he was just an accompanying guest tonight and invited her boss, who was already waiting in the hotel right now.

What kind of cat are you hiding, Director Gong?Li Yueji was a little confused. Gong Changying smiled, and said mysteriously, cough, you will know when you get to the place. Director Gong, you won't take me... Don't, don't think about it any further, Mayor Li.The smile on Gong Changying's face was not funny. When he arrived at the hotel, Li Yueji saw that the host tonight was actually a female real estate developer in Shangjiang City. This woman is very thin, with small eyes, thin lips, smooth complexion, and a simple figure, as if she was nourished by the water and soil in the south. Although her age is not easy to guess, it can still make people feel that she is already a young woman. Threshold woman. Li Yueji knew this woman. At the beginning of this year, at a reception after the foundation laying ceremony of an exhibition center, a vice president of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China introduced this woman to Li Yueji, saying that she had been running a company in Shenzhen in the past, and now she has returned to Shangjiang for development. The prospects were particularly promising, so I found a Taiwanese to jointly acquire a real estate company in Shangjiang City that was not doing well. The strength is extraordinary, and the meaning behind the words is nothing more than asking Mayor Li to take care of him.Not long after the first meeting, Li Yueji met this woman again at a seminar on living environment in Shangjiang City, but this time, Li Yueji just greeted her. Li Yueji recalled that this woman's surname was Bai, and she couldn't think of her specific name for a while.At the same time, Li Yueji also understood why Gong Changying worked so hard to manage such a meal, and if he couldn't escape, he came for the idle land of the Energy Bureau. Mayor Li, Mr. Bai, do you need me to introduce you again?Gong Changying asked with a smile. If I don't know Mayor Li, then I can still be regarded as a native of Shangjiang!I said old classmate, you really know how to tell jokes.After Mr. Bai finished speaking, he stretched out a thin and white hand towards Li Yueji, hello Mayor Li, thank you for your kindness. Li Yueji felt that the hand of the white woman was soft and small, and thought that this is a hand full of femininity, unlike his own hand, which has big joints and a lot of flesh. If you only look at the hands and not the face, It will make people feel that their hands are simply the hands of a man doing rough work. Oh, so Mr. Bai is Director Gong's classmate?Li Yueji said when he let go. Gong Changyingdao, a middle school classmate, Mayor Li. Just now I heard from Director Gong that Director Gong and Mayor Li were once classmates.Mr. Bai said. Li Yueji took over and said, middle school is real, high school is fake, and it is not stupid to enter the party school.Mr. Bai, you said that Director Gong and I were classmates in the party school for one year, which one is it?Now people are talking about confidantes in life, and nine out of ten are from middle school classmates. Mayor Li, I'm afraid your mouth is going to boil again?Just cook me.Gong Changying said, pretending to be in pain. It turns out that Mayor Li is such a humorous person.Mr. Bai said, he gestured for Li Yueji to take his seat. Tell you Mr. Bai, my confidante is not only good at humor, but also a famous strong woman.Gong Changying talked with great relish. I know Mayor Li's reputation in Shangjiang is that the jade is white and the water is clear.Mr. Bai looked at Li Yueji with a smile and said. Li Yueji was a little dizzy and blushed when they sang together. Because of Li Yueji's unfamiliarity with Ms. Bai, today's scene is somewhat dramatic.Although there is no shortage of smiles on everyone's faces, they can also feel the awkwardness in others' hearts. The double reeds of these two people sang quite well, no wonder they are classmates in middle school... Thinking of this, Li Yueji was somehow instigated to think of the window of his classmates as a bed, and couldn't help laughing in his heart. After passing through this unexpected feeling, Li Yueji said in his heart, these days, it's hard to say, what's not fake, it's not a matter of making a fake middle school classmate out of your mouth in the blink of an eye? Mr. Bai said, this is the first time to sit with Mayor Li, and I don't know what flavor Mayor Li likes. Mayor Li, please feel free to order. Li Yueji didn't accept the menu that Boss Bai handed over, but pushed the menu in front of Gong Changying, waved his hand and said, Director Gong knows my taste, so please ask Director Gong to do it for me. Gong Changying glanced at Boss Bai, took the menu and said, yes, the mayor is at the table, how can he order by himself?If you don't say that I have no eyesight, I don't know how to serve the leaders by nature, so I don't have much promise. If you, Director Gong, are promising again, we have to go to the United Nations headquarters to find you!Li Yueji said, pursing his lips and laughing. Boss Bai glanced at Gong Changying, and also smiled Mimi. Gong Changying finally ordered the dishes, and the two women had no objections.Next, Gong Changying asked Li Yueji what kind of wine to drink, and Li Yueji said without hesitation, "Look at Boss Bai, I'll just go with Boss Bai." Gong Changying's eyes widened and he asked, Mayor Li, what did you say?What do you drink Mr. Bai?Hey, Mayor Li, today I'm telling you the truth, Mr. Bai doesn't drink anything other than white wine, and the amount of white wine... more than half a catty. Li Yueji knew that Gong Changying was good at turning black and white, so he said with a smile, then I will learn to drink white wine today. Gong Changying knew how much liquor Li Yueji could drink. After a year of party school life, there would naturally be many shows on the wine table.In the past, the time Gong Changying saw Li Yueji drank the most was only a beer mug, but according to the Bai Boss in front of him, the amount was less than half. Li Yueji realized that something was wrong after being served three cups by Boss Bai in a row. What Gong Changying said just now might have some meaning. In the past, whenever Li Yueji drank with people like Gong Changying, whenever he felt something was wrong, he would find excuses and drink less, but today's event was set up by a white woman. She understands that once she loses wine, she loses face, and women In front of women, the most important thing to consider is face. Li Yueji thought, let's hold on, it doesn't matter how long it lasts, it doesn't matter if you drink too much, and let's talk about shit, so you don't worry. However, Boss Bai seemed to have seen through her plan, after three cups of wine, he no longer used wine to seek enthusiasm. Compared with the past, Gong Changying was also obviously abnormal. He just stopped drinking with Li Yueji. In the past, no matter what occasion he was at the wine table, he had never been idle. Today, Gong Changying respectfully offered a cup of white wine several times, and Li Yueji's heart suddenly brightened, associating the relationship between Gong Changying and this little woman with bun skin and pork stuffing. The wine stopped, and Gong Changying's mouth dripped out of business.Li Yueji thought, it seems that Mr. Bai, the boss, had a verbal rehearsal with Gong Changying about the action steps of today's dinner table in advance. As Li Yueji had expected just now, what fell from Gong Changying's tongue was really the idle farm that the Energy Bureau was waiting to hand over.Mr. Bai intends to buy that farm and build a high-end cemetery.If it is difficult to sell the city as a whole, Boss Bai said that it is okay to rent for a hundred years. If this road does not work, then see if we can cooperate with the city, one family will provide the land, and the other will contribute funds. Li Yueji thought, this Boss Bai is really not an ordinary businessman, she is also thinking about the business of the living and the dead.Is that the case for setting up a cemetery on that fertile land?So Li Yueji complained in his heart that Gong Changying didn't have a brain, how could he help with such a favor?Fortunately, you are still the director of the Construction Department, and you don't have a land use standard for the living and the dead in your heart! Seeing Li Yueji lingering and refusing to give a pleasant word, Gong Changying said, Mayor Li, I know this matter, and it is not something that can be understood in a few words. Boss Bai also understands this truth, right? Mr. Bai went on to say, yes, Mayor Li, we have to discuss some specific contents later. Li Yueji said, Director Gong's matter is my Li Yueji's matter. As long as there is this cooperation opportunity, I will think about Mr. Bai. Thank you Mayor Lee.Mr. Bai said, then he took out his business card and handed it to Li Yueji respectfully. Li Yueji pretended to look at the business card for a while, then raised his head, frowned and said, "Oh Mr. Bai, I'm sorry, I forgot my business card in the car." When I go back to Shangjiang to find Mayor Li, do I still need a business card?Mr. Bai said with a smile. That is, Mayor Li's face is the business card of the entire Shangjiang City.Gong Changying spoke happily. Li Yueji picked up the wine cup and said, come here, borrow flowers to present Buddha, I will respect Director Gong and Boss Bai! The topic, from the land issue back to the wine.
