Li Yuanlang went to bed early and got up early.

It was getting cold, so instead of jogging in the morning, Li Yuanlang drove straight to the old town.

I heard from the taxi driver that the traffic police in Daiding County were on duty at eight o'clock and off duty at nine o'clock, and they were on duty completely as a formality. Li Yuanlang decided to observe and see if this was really the case.

He parked the car on the side of the road and found a snack bar. He had a bowl of soup and a drawer of steamed dumplings. After a brief meal, he saw that it was 7:50, paid the bill and walked out.

It was the rush hour at this time, and there were gradually more pedestrians and vehicles on the street.

He drove slowly along with the flow of traffic. When he passed an intersection, he saw a traffic policeman slowly walking up to his post and starting to direct traffic.

Especially when I was waiting at the red light at the intersection of Center Street, I saw a white Toyota Highlander roaring towards me with its horn honking.

Upon seeing this, the traffic police immediately ran to the middle of the road, stopped other normal driving vehicles with hand signals, and left a path open, allowing the Highlander to speed past through the red light.

Moreover, all the traffic policemen saluted Highlander and watched it go away.

Who is so awesome!

Not only does he run a red light, he also has to let other cars give way to him.

There were no police lights and it was not a special vehicle. Who was in the car?

Li Yuanlang secretly wrote down the license plate number of the car, and he would definitely get to the bottom of it when he got back.

Since there was still a county government party group meeting to be held at nine o'clock, Li Yuanlang was presiding over it for the first time and could not be late, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove directly to the county government compound.

The strange thing was that when he parked the car in the parking lot, he accidentally discovered the white Highlander. When he saw the license plate, it was the privileged car.

Obviously, this car appeared at the county government, and the owner of the car either came to do business or worked here.

Who could it be?

When he returned to the office, Chang Ming came in and asked, "Whose car does that Highlander downstairs belong to?"

Chang Ming looked down and replied: "It's Deputy County Magistrate Li's special car."

Deputy County Magistrate Li?

Li Yuanlang recalled that Li Benqing was the deputy magistrate of Daiding County and the director of the County Public Security Bureau.

No wonder the traffic police had to salute his car. It turned out that this god was sitting in the car.

Li Yuanlang felt extremely uncomfortable about what had just happened, and he had some different views on Li Benqing.

Chang Ming observed the changes in Li Yuanlang's facial expression and wanted to ask but hesitated.

Although Li Yuanlang used to be his eldest brother, things are different now. He is now the county magistrate. Some things he can ask, others need to be asked carefully.

From this point of view, Chang Ming is slowly changing his identity and he is gradually becoming mature.

"It's almost time, let's go to the meeting."

Li Yuanlang picked up his notebook and pen, walked out of the office first, and went straight to the small conference room upstairs.

In addition to the county magistrate and deputy county magistrate, Chang Ming's government office director is also one of the county government party group members.

When he walked into the conference room, the five deputy county magistrates were already in place, but the executive deputy county magistrate Lu Dingfang was not seen.

Moreover, as soon as Li Yuanlang came in, the small conference room was filled with smoke. There were five people sitting there with four large chimneys. There was an ashtray in front of each person, and they were puffing out smoke while chatting.

It's not like a government party group meeting, but it's clearly a tea party in a vegetable market.

Li Yuanlang is also a smoker, but he has always adhered to the habit of not smoking on solemn occasions.

Nowadays, people have stopped smoking in public places. Why do you say this is the county government, not a smoking room?

So when he sat on his seat, he looked at the ashtray in front of him and ordered Chang Ming: "Director Chang, remove the ashtray, open the window and let out the cigarette smoke."

As soon as his words came out, the four smokers present looked at each other. Apart from being surprised, they all consciously put out the cigarettes in their hands in the ashtray and picked up their teacups to drink water to hide their embarrassment.

The only woman present, Deputy County Magistrate Yang Mei, fanned the wind with her hands and said: "Li County still understands that smoking is harmful to health, and second-hand smoke is even more harmful. Unlike some of you, who smoked endlessly as soon as they came in and choked to death.

.”

Li Benqing had no clothes and was wearing casual clothes. He leaned back, rushed towards Yang Mei and curled his lips: "Deputy County Magistrate Yang's words are a bit too much. I remember that your lover is a big chimney, and you have inhaled two second-hand smokes."

After more than 20 years of smoking, I think you are still alive and well and in good health."

Xing Dong, deputy county magistrate of the Standing Committee, also chimed in: "What Deputy County Li said is correct. We didn't see such a big reaction from you when we smoked in previous meetings. What's going on today? You came up and opened fire on us smokers. This is something wrong."

ah."

As he spoke, Xing Dong glanced at Li Yuanlang from the corner of his eye, which meant that Yang Mei wanted to express her position through this matter. She was on Li Yuanlang's side.

"You, you two..." Yang Mei was so angry that her face turned red when the two grown men attacked her unanimously, and she was about to puff up her cheeks to fight back.

However, Li Yuanlang tapped his pen on the table at the right moment and stopped him in a cold voice: "This is a conference room, not a vegetable market. Please be careful in your words, deeds and propriety."

He looked at the empty seat next to him and asked Chang Ming: "Why hasn't Deputy County Magistrate Lu arrived yet? Director Chang, please ask."

Chang Ming quickly asked someone to come in and remove the ashtray, and opened the window. He took out his cell phone to contact Lu Dingfang.

Deputy County Magistrate Zhang Zhongqiang said to Li Yuanlang: "Li County, how about we start first? Later I have to go to Yongnian Township to inspect the work, a round trip of more than 200 miles. It's too late and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back today."

Originally, Lu Dingfang's absence made Li Yuanlang very angry.

Why, you, Lu Dingfang, turned a deaf ear to what I said as the magistrate head of the county, and deliberately didn’t come. Are you trying to intimidate me?

You must establish your prestige no matter what today, otherwise, in the future, others will treat your words as farts, ignore them, and not care at all.

He straightened his face and frowned and said to Zhang Zhongqiang: "Deputy County Magistrate Zhang, today's meeting may be a bit long. You can either change the time or stay in Yongnian Township. Deputy County Magistrate Lu hasn't arrived yet, we have to wait."

He's in a meeting waiting for him to come."

After that, he threw the pen in his hand on the table, crossed his arms and looked coldly at the door of the conference room.

Zhang Zhongqiang blushed because of what Li Yuanlang said, he simply lowered his head and said nothing, and started arguing with his notebook.

What he wanted was this effect. If he offended someone, he would be offended. Li Yuanlang thought to himself that it was better to be offended than to be despised.

The others were silent, only Chang Ming was holding the phone, anxiously waiting for the other party to answer the call.

Lu Dingfang, what's going on? Why doesn't he answer the phone? I'm really worried.

Just when Chang Ming was so anxious that he almost stamped his feet, he heard the ringing of a cell phone and the sound of someone walking at the door.

Soon, Lu Dingfang appeared at the door of the conference room. As soon as he came in, he cupped his hands and clasped his fists, "Sorry, I'm late."

After that, he sat on Li Yuanlang's left side, put down his pen and notebook, took out his cigarette and was about to light it, when he found that there was no ashtray on the table, so he asked Chang Ming: "Director Chang, where is the ashtray?"

Chang Ming was about to answer, but was overtaken by Li Yuanlang, "I asked Director Chang to remove the ashtray. I announced a rule that smoking will be banned in the venue for future meetings."

Lu Dingfang's eyebrows suddenly knitted together, he took the cigarette out of his mouth, crushed it in his hand, and threw it on the ground.

After all, Li Yuanlang was the county magistrate and the top leader of the county government, and the disciplines he established were beyond criticism. Lu Dingfang wanted to refute but was unable to do so, so he could only stare and sulk.

It wasn't over yet. Li Yuanlang turned his face and said to him: "Deputy County Magistrate Lu, you are late. You were late for a full fifteen minutes, and you made us wait for you for fifteen minutes. I want to ask, is it you?

Don’t know the meeting time or is there another reason?”

The corner of Lu Dingfang's mouth twitched, and he responded: "It was Secretary Lei who delayed talking to me about the matter. I just apologized, what else does County Magistrate Li want?"

This is a blunt provocation.

The meaning is very straightforward, don't hold on to it, otherwise you will be more than ten minutes late and kill people with no more than a nod, and you will never end it, right?

Li Yuanlang criticized: "Deputy County Magistrate Lu, we as cadres must be strict with ourselves before we can ask others. Being late is a small thing, but it is of great significance. You have broken the rules. If everyone is late, the meeting will inevitably be postponed."

"

"As county leaders, we have a lot of official work to do every day. If we are delayed due to meetings, it will delay the processing of many things and cannot be solved in time. I hope you can carefully consider the consequences of starting from small to large.

It won’t be the same next time.”

Faced with Li Yuanlang's pertinent criticism, and in such a public place, Lu Dingfang's face turned red as if he had drunk a pound of wine.

His eyes were on fire, he was biting his cheek hard, and stared at Li Yuanlang fiercely.
