In order to facilitate boarding, Lu Linsong's special train stopped at the first platform of Chuzhong Station.

The surrounding area has long been designated as a no-travel zone, and officers and soldiers from the Hanyue Provincial Armed Police Corps are dispatched to perform duties outside.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the guide car was in the front, several Hongqi cars were in the middle, and behind were two Coaster minibuses.

The first minibus stopped very smoothly at the door of the special train.

The guard in civilian clothes got out of the car first. After observing the surrounding situation and confirming that it was safe, Lu Linsong slowly stepped out of the car.

Hanyue Provincial Party Committee Secretary Li Benshan, the Provincial Party Committee Secretary-General and others lined up and stood waiting at the door of the car.

Lu Linsong, Li Benshan and other leaders of the Hanyue Provincial Party Committee shook hands one by one and walked slowly into the special train.

Director Wang, Secretary Wu, Li Yuanlang and others followed Lu Linsong and entered the car one after another.

Since he was heading to the capital this time, Lu Linsong was not accompanied by many people, and the special train only had eight carriages.

This is the first time in Li Yuanlang's life that he has taken a special train.

The place where Lu Linsong rested occupied almost half of the carriage.

It is divided into inner and outer rooms, and the inner room is the bedroom with a large and soft bed.

Opposite the big bed is a high-definition ultra-thin TV.

There is a separate bathroom where you can take a shower and a fully automatic integrated smart toilet.

The outside is a small living room with leather sofa and round coffee table.

The floor is covered with thick carpets, and every corner of the carriage is specially soft-wrapped to prevent injuries and damage when falling.

All in all, the details are done quite well, nothing is unexpected, only it can be done.

Moreover, there is a small restaurant in this carriage that can be used for meals.

In the carriage, there is a conference room that can accommodate a dozen people for a meeting.

The carriage behind the conference room is a reception room for resting and talking.

Only Lu Linsong can enjoy the highest treatment. Other high-level entourage members live in single rooms and also have separate bathrooms, but the area is not large.

The lower ones live in soft sleepers, while the service staff and security personnel at the lowest level only have hard sleeper conditions.

In addition to being Lu Linsong's son-in-law, Li Yuanlang was also a deputy provincial-level leading cadre, so he was naturally assigned a single room.

It's not too far from Lu Linsong's carriage, so it's easy to take care of.

At twelve o'clock sharp, the special train slowly left the platform.

Not long after driving out, Director Wang came over and knocked on the door of Li Yuen Long's room.

After letting him in, the two of them sat down and chatted.

"Comrade Yuen Long, there is something that really makes me scratch my head."

After chatting for a while, Director Wang got down to business.

This time the special train went to Beijing and only made a technical stop of half an hour in Qusong City.

Qusong is the capital city of Quzhong Province.

Although Lu Linsong is a retired comrade, it is rare for him to have the opportunity to visit Quzhong.

The Quzhong Provincial Party Committee attached great importance to this and planned to go to the station to visit Lu Linsong when the special train arrived.

However, Lu Linsong made it clear that he would not meet with the local leaders until he got out of the car.

What worries Director Wang is that the Quzhong Provincial Party Committee has just sent another message, hoping that Director Wang can arrange an opportunity, even just to meet once.

The leaders of the Quzhong Provincial Party Committee have a sincere attitude and sincere words, and their respect for Lu Linsong is particularly outstanding.

"Sigh." Director Wang sighed and said, "They haven't had a senior cadre come here for seven years. So, when I learned that the chief executive train was passing through Qusong, I felt so anxious that I was embarrassed to refuse."

Li Yuanlang naturally heard the unspeakable secrets of Director Wang. On the one hand, it was his father-in-law's serious request, and on the other hand, it was the Quzhong Provincial Party Committee's eagerness to see his father-in-law.

"Director Wang, my father-in-law's trip to the capital is mainly to attend the funeral of Comrade Han Qi. Comrade Han Qi has just passed away, and the whole country is mourning. Under such circumstances, it would be inappropriate for him to meet with local leading cadres.

This is one of them.”

"Secondly, my father-in-law has long said that when he retires, he will be just an ordinary comrade who will not care about current affairs, will not participate in or discuss politics, and will live in peace and contentment."

"I think it's better not to disturb the local officials and do everything according to his wishes."

Director Wang nodded in agreement, turned around and left.

Looking at Director Wang's back, Li Yuanlang was very puzzled.

Director Wang succeeded Luan Fangren as the director of his father-in-law's office. He has been working beside his father-in-law for several years. How could he not know about adhering to the chief's principle?

Should such a trivial matter make him distressed and complain to himself?

While chatting with Bai Qing, Li Yuanlang learned that Director Wang was from Quzhong Province and had worked in Quzhong for nearly ten years and had deep feelings for him.

He must have been deeply entrusted by the local leaders to try to meet Lu Linsong, and just say a few words.

&nbs                                                 However, Li Yuanlang has a deeper interpretation.

After driving for about two hours, Li Yuanlang walked to the carriage where his father-in-law was.

Seeing Secretary Wu sitting on duty at the door, he waved to a secluded area and asked, "Has my father-in-law woke up from his nap?"

Secretary Wu looked at his watch and said, "The chief took a nap for about an hour. It's now 2:15 and he's almost awake. Please wait a moment and I'll go take a look."

Afterwards, Secretary Wu lay at the door and listened, then gently opened the door to the room and walked in.

He returned in less than a minute and told Li Yuanlang that he could go in.

Lu Linsong was sitting on the sofa, reading a thread-bound book. When he saw Li Yuanlang coming in, he took off his spectacles and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Yuanlang did not hide anything, and specifically mentioned how the Quzhong Provincial Committee wanted to see Lu Linsong.

"I have already asked Director Wang not to stop, not get off the car, and not to meet him. I need to emphasize this again." Lu Linsong looked unhappy.

"Dad, let me express my opinion. If I am right or wrong, please give me your advice."

"Say." Lu Linsong put down the bound book and stared at Li Yuanlang.

Therefore, Li Yuanlang said slowly: "The development of Quzhong Province in recent years has not been outstanding. It is not as eye-catching as the coastal areas. It is similar to most inland provinces and is almost not taken seriously."

"This has caused the leaders of Quzhong Province to be unable to find their direction. It just so happened that you passed by Quzhong this time. Although you stepped back, you still have weight for them."

"After the death of Comrade Han Qi, you have been the most influential among the old comrades. You have always been highly regarded among leading cadres in some provinces. There are many people who are willing to get to know you and get close to you."

"So I think meeting individual local cadres is not as serious as you think. You took me to Beijing this time and introduced me to the old comrades. I hope you will not forget the new comrades."

Li Yuanlang said this sentence very cryptically, how could Lu Linsong not hear it?

He stood up slowly, walked to the car window, and turned his back to Li Yuanlang. After a while, he said: "Yuen Long, I might as well tell you that Comrade Jinfeng is very sensitive in this regard. For the sake of your lifetime peace, I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."

trouble."

"Dad." Li Yuanlang said: "You consider us, and we understand. However, you also need to make a different voice. Just one Donghe Province is not enough. Your voice must be based on a huge network of people."

"If you take a step back, someone will take a step forward. In this way, it is easy to push you into a corner and there will be no way out."

"I have no other intention. I just hope that you will put aside your caution, put aside all your burdens, and move forward with ease. Only if you move forward will you gain a greater living space. This will be beneficial to you and our family."

Lu Linsong was silent, but that didn't mean he wasn't thinking. He was weighing and pondering.

Li Yuanlang stood quietly behind Lu Linsong, waiting for him to make a statement.

"You go ahead, I want to be quiet."

Li Yuanlang walked out of Lu Linsong's room, thinking back on Director Wang's words, he understood the real reason why Director Wang was looking for him.

This is to win a new force for him or the Lu family.

From now on, if you want to stand firm and go far in your official career, you must have people available.

It happened that Qu Zhongsheng took the initiative to send it to my door. It would be a pity not to accept this great gift.

Some words cannot be said too directly, just point them out.

In Li Yuanlang's impression, his father-in-law was a good man, but he also had a cautious side.

Especially care about other people's feelings.

Zhang Hanqi retired earlier than his father-in-law, and he always has a group of followers around him.

During my father-in-law's ten years, it was very difficult to implement government orders. The main reason was the lack of effective force, lack of helpers, and lack of help.

This phenomenon did not change much until he retired.

After Yu Jinfeng came up, he acted vigorously and resolutely, taking a series of measures to investigate and deal with a group of corrupt elements, completely reversing the passive situation.

In fact, in Li Yuanlang's opinion, his father-in-law is a loyal and honest man.

However, people with this personality have many shortcomings.

Hesitant and hesitant.

Fear of this, fear of that, and too many worries limit the determination and courage to make decisions.

The second one is the lack of courage to change, being timid in doing things and choosing to make do with things.

He is short-sighted and lacks foresight.

The last one is sticking to the rules. You always do what others say and do what others do. You don’t want to innovate and you don’t like innovation.

Of course, my father-in-law does not have all of these shortcomings, but some of them have his shadow.

There is another sentence that can only be buried in Li Yuanlang's heart and will never be mentioned to anyone.
