This phone call was made by Li Yuanlang to Ji Tianhou. Hearing Sun Qi say that Boss Cheng was miraculous, Li Yuanlang felt uneasy. He checked Boss Cheng and his Haitong Company online, but found nothing wrong.

He remembered that Ji Tianhou had been deceived by a southern guest at the quarry, and Li Yuanlang suddenly wondered, could this Boss Cheng be that person?

When he called Ji Tianhou's cell phone, Ji Tianhou had just come out from Wang Zumin's place and said in an uncharacteristically calm voice: "Yuen Long, are you congratulating me? You are quite well informed. Minister Wang just finished talking to me.

If I say so, I will report to Boutong Town tomorrow to fulfill my duties."

"Mayor?" Li Yuanlang's unintentional call turned into a congratulatory call, but judging from Ji Tianhou's calm reaction, he was much more steady than before.

"The acting mayor, like your original acting mayor, needs a transition period."

"Tianhou, your current attitude is refreshing to me. It is completely different from when you took office in Shuiming Township. You are much more mature."

"Really?" Ji Tianhou sighed: "I also feel that I used to look forward to the stars and the moon just waiting for this day. But I didn't expect it to come, but I couldn't arouse any interest. It was unremarkable. Now thinking about it,

What you told me is true. County Magistrate Jin asked me to sit on the bench at the CPPCC Office and reflect, which was quite helpful to me."

"As long as you understand it, everything in life cannot go smoothly. There will be setbacks and troughs. Just grit your teeth and persevere in the past. You can also develop perseverance. For those of us who are in politics, it is not

It's a bad thing. Only by resisting the blow can you withstand the violent storm."

Li Yuanlang sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Tianhou, Shao Wanyou is a good person. He has a close relationship with Deputy County Magistrate He and has some friendship with me. After you go there, you can communicate with him more if you encounter problems. If you really can't solve them,

Just look for me, Shao Wanyou and I can still have a word or two."

"Thank you for your heartfelt words, I will do it. Yuen Long, how are you doing there? Are you busy?"

Seeing that Ji Tianhou asked about it, Li Yuanlang confessed all the questions in his mind and sent the information about Boss Cheng to Ji Tianhou and asked him to help confirm it.

After a while, Ji Tianhou called him back and said that Boss Cheng and the old southern customer he knew were not the same person, so he could just feel free to socialize.

The next day, Li Yuanlang, Tan Gang, Liu Shuxi, and Huang Wenfa took a car to Liujiadi Village. After all, this was the first time Li Yuanlang set foot on this land after Liu Wanquan's accident.

Because they had been notified in advance, village deputy director Liu Pinggui, village accountant Liu Shihai, as well as about a dozen village committee members and individual party members stood at the door of the village committee to greet them.

Liujiadi Village is separated by a small river in the middle and is divided into Nancun and Beicun. Nancun is mostly populated by people with foreign surnames, while Beicun belongs to the Liu family.

To enter Liujiadi Village, you first have to pass through Nancun. The houses are dilapidated and there are many adobe and thatched houses. The roads are rugged and bumpy. But once you cross the small bridge, you are in two different worlds. There are straight cement roads and there are many wooden tiles on both sides of the road.

Street lights and houses are mostly made of bricks and tiles, with two or three two-story buildings.

The village committee is a large courtyard with a row of large tile-roofed houses with white tiles and plastic doors and windows. The windows are bright and clean, making it very bright.

Opposite the village committee is a leisure square with fitness equipment and a rockery fountain. This is in winter. If it is in summer, once the rockery fountain is used, it will create a unique scene.

There is also an open-air stage at the far west end of the square. According to Tan Gang, when the weather is warm, there are often singing and dancing performances and occasionally movies, which is very lively.

Li Yuanlang didn't say anything. Liu Wanquan was really willing to spend money, but the money was spent unfairly. People with the surname Liu spent it casually, but those people with other surnames simply became lower-class citizens, one in the sky and one on the ground. Such cadres have so many selfish desires.

, it’s strange to be able to serve the people wholeheartedly.

Liu Pinggui is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is tall and strong, does not smile or speak, and is very cheerful and enthusiastic.

As soon as they met, he took the initiative to hold Li Yuanlang's hands and said hello respectfully: "Secretary Li, welcome to Liujiadi Village."

Li Yuanlang nodded and said nothing. Then Liu Pinggui introduced others to Li Yuanlang. He didn't pay much attention to them, but when it was Liu Shihai's turn, Li Yuanlang made a point of giving him a few more glances.

This Liu Shihai seems to have some similarities with Liu Wanquan, mainly because of his goldfish eyes. Although these glasses have double eyelids, they have a protruding look, similar to goldfish eyes, so he has such a pair of eyes.

Elegant name.

Everyone welcomed Li Yuanlang, Tan Gang and Liu Shuxi into the village committee meeting room. At first glance, the furnishings here were much better than those in the township government meeting room.

After Li Yuanlang sat down, he looked at the people present and asked, "Deputy Director Liu, why are you, the Liu family, and Xin Minghao not here today?"

Before Liu Pinggui could speak, Liu Shihai interjected: "We have already sent someone to invite him. This Xin Minghao is too arrogant. He has been the village director for a long time and has been invited three times. He is reluctant to come over. There is really nothing we can do about him."

&nbs                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       .

He asks for leave every time there is a party member meeting, which is so undisciplined."

"Isn't that right? He just has a big attitude."

"That's right. Xin Minghao is such a person. Fortunately, Secretary Liu didn't care about him. If it had been anyone else, he would have been expelled from the Liu family."

Everyone was talking and criticizing Xin Minghao.

Li Yuanlang did not interrupt and drank tea gently. If Xin Minghao were not present, today's election would not be held.

After about two cigarettes, Xin Minghao arrived late with a few people. As soon as he came in, he was sweating profusely and panting. He saw Li Yuanlang showing a simple and honest smile, and kept saying: "I'm sorry Li

Secretary, I'm late."

"Sit down." Li Yuanlang motioned to Xin Minghao and the party members to sit on both sides of the long table, but Xin Minghao sat on a row of chairs at the back instead of sitting side by side with Liu.

Li Yuanlang did not force anything, and made a few opening remarks, roughly talking about the importance of this election of village branch secretaries by margin. He hoped that every party member present would hold on to his vote and elect a qualified branch for Liujiadi.

secretary.

Next, Tan Gang talked about the precautions and regulations of the election. After that, the four candidates introduced themselves respectively. Finally, it was the voting session.

This time, the village branch secretary will be elected through a differential election. The so-called differential election means that there are more candidates than the number of people who should be elected. For example, this time there is a branch secretary election, but there are four candidates, then one vote or multiple rounds of voting will be used

In this way, the final winner must exceed half of the votes.

It would be much easier if there was an equal election, that is to say, there is only one candidate for everyone to elect, and more than half can pass. In most cases, the candidates in the equal election can pass, because there is no choice but to be

"Agree" and "disagree".

Therefore, this differential election will be more difficult and will never be smooth sailing. Even with Li Yuanlang, the party secretary in charge, the situation will be very difficult.

This is an intra-party election. Unlike when villagers elect village directors and village committee members, there are no tellers. After the four candidates introduce themselves, a dedicated person is responsible for distributing small pieces of paper to the village party members present. Each person can only write

If the previous candidate is considered a suitable candidate, the vote will be invalid if one more is written.

Liujiadi Village includes Liu Pinggui, Liu Shihai and Xin Minghao, with a total of 21 party members, which is not a small number.

Mainly when Liu Wanquan was in power, he vigorously developed party members. Generally, a village only had two party members per year. Because Liu Wanquan and Ma Shengran had a close relationship, there were three or four members every year. Therefore, over the past few years, the number of party members in Liujiadi Village had been declining.

Among all the villages in Mingxiang, it has the largest number.

Li Yuanlang, Tan Gang and Liu Shuxi moved chairs and sat against the wall, looking around. Huang Wenfa's expression was gloomy today. He knew how much he weighed, and this time he was purely here to accompany him.

At that time, Liu Shuxi told him to register him to participate in the Liujiadi Village Party Secretary election. Huang Wenfa was not even excited for more than a minute, and he immediately realized Liu Shuxi's intentions.

It is just to let him thank Liu Shuxi for his recommendation. If you think about it carefully, isn't this nonsense? Huang Wenfa is not from Liujiadi Village, and the people here are very xenophobic. He is a foreigner with no roots and no influence. Who would choose him?

Sure enough, when the results of the first round of the election were announced, Huang Wenfa got zero votes, and Liu Pinggui, who had the lowest number of votes, still had six votes. He didn't even have a hair on his head. His face turned red with shame, and he couldn't help but touch Liu Shuxi with his little triangular eyes.

, in his heart he greeted all the eighteen generations of his ancestors one by one.

In the end, Liu Shihai received the highest number of votes, with eight votes, Xin Minghao with seven votes, Liu Pinggui with six votes, and Huang Wenfa with zero votes. Because no one received more than half in the first round, which was 11 votes, according to the electoral system, the two people with the highest votes

Liu Shihai and Xin Minghao entered the final round of elections.

Liu Pinggui was not disappointed, and still had a smile on his face. He seemed to have been mentally prepared for a long time. This was much more mature than Huang Wenfa. He could not express his emotions and anger, which showed that this person had excellent psychological quality.

After taking a short break, everyone smoked, chatted, drank water, etc., and then came the second round and the most critical voting session.

Li Yuanlang looked at the situation in front of him, holding his mobile phone tightly in his hand, his face calm, but his heart became uneasy.

I don’t know what’s going on with Zhang Guorui and whether he has gained anything. He is waiting for news from Zhang Guorui.

"Okay, everyone, please sit down now. Let's start the second round of voting." As the host finished speaking, another person was responsible for handing out small pieces of paper, and then there was the rustle of writing.

A few minutes later, someone said that the small pieces of paper collected were handed over to the vote counters, and then under the supervision of the scrutineers, the counting work went on in full swing.

After everything was finished, the host picked up the microphone, cleared his throat, and prepared to start reading.
Chapter completed!
