Wu Hongli suddenly shouted and fainted.

Li Yuanlang was also startled. He quickly called Sister Wu on Wu Hongli's shoulder several times before waking Wu Hongli up. She pointed at the hook on the ceiling with a pale face and said tremblingly: "That, that's a

What something!"

Li Yuanlang looked in the direction of Wu Hongli's finger and was immediately furious. There was a rope hanging on the hook. What bastard was so wicked and sinister that he acted like a ghost!

It is clear that this rope is definitely not the one used by Xiao Zhanzhan. It was taken away as evidence by the Public Security Bureau during the on-site investigation. It will never be left here. Someone must have done it deliberately.

Li Yuanlang brought a chair, stepped on it, untied the rope, pushed open the window and threw it out, breathing heavily in anger.

After comforting her for a few words and asking if she needed to go to the township health center to have a look, Wu Hongli was really frightened.

"It's okay, I'll get better after I go back and have a rest." Wu Hong's face finally returned to rosy.

Li Yuanlang felt relieved and called the radio station. Two young girls helped Wu Hongli leave.

Would Ma Shengran do such despicable means? Or Liu Shuxi?

Li Yuanlang was sitting on a chair, smoking a cigarette. Someone knocked on the door, and he called out, "Come in."

"Chief Li, there will be a meeting at 9:30, I'll let you know." Huang Wenfa walked in with his triangular eyes closed, and looked at the roof of the shed in a serious manner.

It was this tiny movement that made Li Yuanlang suddenly realize that it was him who did it.

The reason why it is determined that Huang Wenfa did it is very simple. These details are all revealed from Huang Wenfa's inadvertent actions.

As soon as he came in, he looked hesitant and did not dare to look at Li Yuanlang, which was a sign of his guilty conscience.

Also, he didn't dare to look at Li Yuanlang, but his eyes were always staring at the hook, which meant that he cared about that hook. Why did he care about it? Isn't he just checking to see if the rope was there?

Furthermore, Huang Wenfa was there to help with the move yesterday, who else could be there besides him?

Liu Shuxi is a villain, and the subordinates he educated are like him, and there are no good things.

Li Yuanlang was angry and could not express his anger. He did not give Huang Wen a good look and responded with a sullen face: "I understand."

"Yes, then I'm going back." Huang Wenfa said and turned to leave. He didn't forget to take a few more glances at the hook, but he didn't pay attention to the garlic under his feet. He staggered and almost fell down.

When he was struggling to balance, his hands happened to grab the tassel hanging on the small mirror hanging high on the opposite side. Unconsciously, he pulled hard and pulled the small mirror off. It fell to the ground with a "clack" and shattered into pieces.

.

Li Yuanlang couldn't hold back his laughter. Just as he was looking awkward, Huang Wenfa inadvertently helped him get rid of this heart-blocking thing, which was regarded as a crime and meritorious service.

The small mirror broke, attracting the attention of many people in the corridor. Several people in the office recognized it and looked at it and pointed. Anyway, Huang Wenfa broke the demon-suppressing mirror invited by Ma Shengran, so he would inevitably get scolded. This is

Karma, you deserve it!

Li Yuanlang packed up his things, then locked the door and walked to the small conference room downstairs.

When he came in, he happened to bump into Zhang Guorui. He asked Li Yuanlang if he knew why Wu Hongli was being helped out of the township government.

"It's hard to explain in words." Li Yuanlang patted Zhang Guorui's shoulder and motioned to tell him back.

Except for Wu Hongli and Ma Shengran, all the eleven members of the Party Committee of Shuiming Township were present.

Everyone was puffing away, and the small conference room was filled with the choking smell of tobacco. Yuan Chunqiu, in particular, was famous for being a cigarette smoker. He only lit up his cigarette once, and then smoked one cigarette after another. If he didn't smoke well, he would smoke.

It's a low-quality cigarette that costs about five yuan. It irritates the eyes. It's said that good cigarettes are boring and not satisfying.

Fan Zheng, who was sitting opposite him, was so angry that he fanned himself with his notebook, and his eyebrows almost knitted together.

Li Yuanlang also smoked, but he just felt that on such occasions, he should learn from the County Standing Committee. Ever since he worked as a secretary with the old secretary, the old secretary made a rule that smoking was prohibited in the conference room.

Moreover, the old secretary practiced it personally. No matter how addicted he was to smoking, he would never smoke. To this day, the Standing Committee still maintains this habit, and no one has broken it.

So he and Zhang Guorui sat in their respective seats. When Zhang Guorui took out a cigarette and threw one to him, Li Yuanlang took it and didn't light it, but just put it next to his notebook.

Zhang Guorui understood immediately and was about to light a cigarette, but instead blew out the lighter, put out the cigarette, nodded at Li Yuanlang, and smiled at each other.

This is the first time Li Yuen Long has attended the Party Committee of Shuiming Township, and the first time he has sat together with the Party committee members. His seat is at the front of the left side of the long table, in the middle is Ma Shengran's seat, and on the left is the deputy secretary and deputy secretary

The township head, on the right is the full-time deputy secretary, the third-in-command in the township, and the rest are ranked in order according to their seniority in entering the party committee.

Li Yuanlang was the second most important person in this building. Before Ma Shengran arrived, his words and deeds were bound to attract everyone's attention.

Sun Qi took out the cigarette and held it in his mouth. As a secretary for a long time, he developed the habit of seeing all directions and listening to all directions. At first glance, he saw that Li Yuanlang was not smoking. After thinking about it, he took off the cigarette and put it back in the cigarette case.

Put it in your pocket.

Seeing this, Fan Zheng hurriedly tapped the table with his hand to remind Yuan Chunqiu.

Yuan Chunqiu ignored it at first, until Fan Zheng gestured towards Li Yuanlang with his mouth. Yuan Chunqiu also noticed that Li Yuanlang had a cigarette next to his notebook and was not smoking. At the same time, he saw Zhang Guorui doing the same thing. His head was still muddy, but he understood the meaning.

I had to take a few puffs of the cigarette, reluctantly stubbed out half of the cigarette butt in the ashtray, wiped my mouth, and stopped smoking.

Gao Canru is not a big smoker, so the reason why he also smokes is out of revenge. He lets me smoke secondhand smoke, I smoke secondhand smoke, and I let you smoke secondhand smoke.

Finding that Zhang Guorui was not smoking and Sun Qi was not smoking, Yuan Chunqiu put out the cigarette. It was like a domino effect fermenting and spreading to his nervous system. He also put out the cigarette butt and lowered his head to fiddle with the carbon pen in his hand.

As for other party committee members, especially Yuan Chunqiu, who had seen a fire and put out a cigarette butt for the first time, they all followed suit and stopped smoking. Even Tan Gang and Liu Shuxi were unhappy in their hearts, but they couldn't make it too obvious.

.

Obviously, Li Yuanlang's small actions indirectly told everyone that smoking was prohibited in the venue. If they turned a blind eye, it didn't mean they formally declared war on Li Yuanlang. What were they doing?

Liu Shuxi was still hesitating, but Tan Gang next to him nudged him with his elbow, and then he reluctantly threw away the cigarette butt.

For a time, the smoky environment in the small conference room gradually dissipated, and Zhang Guorui opened two windows specifically for ventilation.

Li Yuanlang relied on his silent actions and the cooperation of Zhang Guorui, the third in command, to spread the ban on smoking in the small conference room. Regardless of whether everyone agreed or disagreed, they still gave him the respect of the newly appointed second in command, and no one overstepped his authority.

, do the opposite.

However, all this changed after Ma Shengran entered the venue with his head held high and his hands behind his back.

"Who opened the window?" Ma Shengran was just sitting in the middle seat, frowning slightly, looking around the crowd and muttering: "It's late autumn now and it's almost winter. It's so cold when you open the window." He pointed at Liu Shuxi and said, "Go ahead.

Close the windows and don't catch a cold."

"Yes." Liu Shuxi agreed happily, closed the window and took a serious look at Zhang Guorui.

"Pah!" Ma Shengran threw the notebook on the table, and casually took out a box of Yuxi worth more than 20 yuan. He took out one and lit it. He took a deep breath and asked as smoke came out of his nose: "Why don't you smoke?

"

Everyone looked at each other, no one explained, and the key was not knowing what to say. However, Tan Gang said: "We all think that Mayor Li took the lead in not smoking and set an example, so..."

Fan Zheng took over the conversation and interjected: "I feel that Mayor Li is right. Non-smokers like me smoke second-hand smoke every time we have meetings, which is more harmful than smoking. Smoking should be banned in our conference rooms."

Liu Shuxi responded to Fan Zheng lukewarmly: "Old Fan, you can learn to smoke if you don't want to smoke. No one will stop you."

"Director Liu, what do you mean?" Fan Zheng stared up his eyes like bells, and his face suddenly turned cold, mixed with a lot of anger.

"Okay." Ma Shengran slammed the table hard, shaking the order of the venue. He glanced at Li Yuanlang and saw that his expression was calm and his eyes were looking out the window, indifferent, and he felt angry in his heart.

"What kind of smoking is prohibited? This is not a public place, so it's unnecessary." Then he said boldly: "You can smoke if you want. Before receiving notification from superiors, the Shuiming Township Party Committee has no smoking ban. You can smoke as you like."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tan Gang and Liu Shuxi responded positively, and the centrist party committee members also lit up cigarettes.

Even Yuan Chunqiu couldn't bear the pain of not having a cigarette in his hand. He immediately lit one and took several big puffs greedily, just like a smoker smoking opium cigarettes.

Immediately, the venue was filled with cigarette smoke again.

"Today is the first meeting of the Shuiming Township Party Committee after Township Mayor Li and Deputy Township Mayor Sun took office. We first welcome these two comrades to join our big family with warm applause." Ma Shengran said,

There was no hint of welcome on his face.

After a burst of applause, Li Yuanlang and Sun Qi stood up respectively and nodded to everyone present.

Ma Shengran pressed his hands down and continued: "Today's meeting is mainly to discuss the next work of our Shuiming Township. In more than twenty days, the annual Township People's Congress will be held. As the township party committee, I

Secretary and Director of the Township People’s Congress, our first priority for the next step is to prepare for this conference.”

Ma Shengran took a deep breath of cigarette, his eyes passed over everyone present, especially Li Yuanlang, who stayed for a second longer.

Just this second is of great significance.

It is equivalent to telling Li Yuanlang that whether you, the acting township head, can successfully pass the election, you have to pass the test of me, the director of the township people's congress.
Chapter completed!
