Isn't this Ni Yizheng?

"Yuen Long, why are you here?" Ni Yizheng looked at Li Yuanlang with the same surprise.

"It's a long story." Li Yuanlang shrugged helplessly.

Ni Yizheng nodded, spoke to the driver, and asked him to give up his parking space to Li Yuanlang.

"No, I'll look for it myself." He asked Ni Yizheng if he had eaten.

"Not yet. I was looking for a place when I ran into you."

Li Yuanlang said: "I think this restaurant is good. If I don't delay you, let's go in and have a drink. It's been a long time since we've had a drink together."

"Okay, you are the landlord, I will be a guest as you wish." Ni Yizheng agreed happily.

Since he was going to drink, Li Yuanlang couldn't leave his car here.

I was planning to call a driver to take the car back, but after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't.

The compound where he lived was strictly inspected and not just anyone could enter.

I had no choice but to let Ni Yizheng go to the restaurant first, while he drove the car to the garage of the villa, parked it, and then took a taxi back.

This back and forth delayed him for nearly forty minutes. He walked into the private room and apologized repeatedly to Ni Yizheng with fists in his hands.

"You two, there's no need to be polite. I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I ordered something first. Anyway, I know your taste. I don't have to choose anything. Just have one bite."

It was obvious that Ni Yizheng was in a good mood and even joked.

There were just the two of them in the private room, making it easier to talk. Besides not working together, there would be less conflicts of interest. They already had a good relationship and the atmosphere seemed very relaxed.

Li Yuanlang sat down, took out the King Furong and threw one to Ni Yizheng, and said with a smile: "You know what I am, I have the most tasteless food and clothing. I can be well fed and clothed, but I have no material pursuits."

Ni Yizheng lit the cigarette with a bang, took a puff and said: "To be honest, Yuen Long, you are the best in the officialdom. You have no greed, which will be very helpful for your future career."

"Brother, you can do it too. The dignified county party committee secretary and a high-ranking official are much better than me, the county magistrate." The reason why Li Yuanlang admired Ni Yizheng was that the poisonous drugs in Xiwu County were basically eliminated, and the remaining Rong Zibin was more disciplined than before.

Much more.

Looking at the entire province, there are a few counties like Daiding County that are experiencing turbulent times and never have peace.

Unexpectedly, when this matter was brought up, Ni Yizheng leaned his head on the back of the leather-wrapped chair, raised his face and looked at the ceiling, and the smoke from his mouth slowly rose upwards.

He murmured to himself: "Do you know why I came to the provincial capital? I just came out of the Organization Department and I was transferred."

"What?" Li Yuanlang was surprised, thinking that Ni Yizheng took office on the same day as himself, only a few months ago, and he was promoted again?

"Where are you going? He can't be the deputy mayor, right?" Li Yuanlang asked curiously.

Ni Yizheng smiled bitterly, "Xinhe City, Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee Office."

The municipal party committee office is a department-level unit, and the secretary-general is mostly held concurrently by a member of the municipal party committee’s standing committee. Therefore, the secretary-general is at the deputy department level.

As for the deputy secretary-general, if he concurrently serves as the head of a certain division-level unit, he is of course at the division level. If a deputy secretary-general does not hold concurrent posts, he is just a deputy division.

Ni Yizheng is the secretary of the county party committee, at the senior level. It seems that his rank has not changed, but his position has changed.

"Is it the executive deputy or..."

Ni Yizheng replied: "Deputy Secretary-General and Secretary of the Working Committee of the Municipal Party Committee's Directly Affiliated Organs."

Li Yuanlang understood that since he had this concurrent role, it meant that Ni Yizheng was still in the right place.

"Brother, congratulations on becoming the city leader." Before the wine was served, Li Yuanlang had to replace the wine with water and picked up the tea cup.

Ni Yizheng shook his head, obviously in a bad mood, and he looked completely different from before.

"Brother, please stop making fun of me. I'm just getting a high promotion. I'm just waiting on people's errands. How can I be happy in the county?"

Li Yuanlang understood Ni Yizheng's sense of loss. From the county party committee secretary who always talked about everything to the municipal party committee office, although the level was the same, the roles were completely different.

From being in power to losing power, no one feels comfortable.

What Li Yuanlang just said was not ironic, it was just comfort.

"Brother, look at it. There are some things that we can't change, so we have to accept it." Li Yuanlang persuaded, and asked Ni Yizheng, why should he be transferred?

Ni Yizheng was someone Chang Dongfang liked, and he had close contacts with Chang Ming.

While Chang Dongfang was still in office, he transferred people to Xinhe City under his nose. How could Chang Dongfang just watch and ignore it?

"Hmph!" Ni Yizheng snorted coldly, "Why don't we make room for Rong Zibin? The old Jin family likes him, especially Mr. Jin who has a very good impression of him. How can he stay under me for a long time?"

That's what he said, but Li Yuanlang felt that Ni Yizheng didn't say it completely.

Even if he makes way for Rong Zibin, it is normal for Chang Dongfang to arrange for him to join the Guangnan Municipal Committee. Why go to Xinhe City?

In this case, it was impossible for Li Yuanlang to ask unless Ni Yizheng said it himself.

The food and wine were quickly put on the table, and the two of them poured white wine into the decanter without being polite, and then filled the small wine glasses themselves.

He picked it up, gestured a toast in the air, and drank it all in one gulp.

The topic of Ni Yizheng's transfer was stopped, and Li Yuanlang chatted with him about the situation in Xiwu County.

According to Ni Yizheng, during the period when he first took office, Rong Zibin was very cooperative and the two of them got along well.

But ever since Rong Zibin went to Lao Jin's house in the capital, he returned to his previous domineering appearance.

He sang opposite Ni Yizheng on many occasions, and even attracted Wang Runhua to join him. On the Standing Committee, he was basically on par with Ni Yizheng.

What does it mean to be equally matched? To put it bluntly, Ni Yizheng did not control the Standing Committee.

Generally speaking, the top leader must have enough votes to achieve the ability to control the Standing Committee.

Otherwise, if you cannot control the Standing Committee, it will affect the implementation of government orders.

There was a time when the secretary had the power of veto, but this thing cannot always be used.

You can do it once or twice. If you use it too much, the city leaders will think that you have limited abilities and are not qualified, so they will replace you with a qualified person.

As a result, the official career path will be completely blocked, and there will basically be no hope for promotion.

Will Ni Yizheng be transferred because of this reason?

After talking about this matter, Ni Yizheng spoke highly of Li Yuanlang's actions in Daiding County.

In the same few months, you see Li Yuanlang, overcoming obstacles and invincible, eradicating Daiding County's stubborn problems for many years in one fell swoop, and wiped out all the criminal gangs headed by Lei Zhen. Lei Zhen was also singled out by him.

Ni Yizheng truly admired Li Yuanlang's wisdom, courage and courage.

After going back and forth and drinking for three times, both of them drank nearly a kilogram of liquor.

Li Yuanlang is okay, at least his head is clear.

Ni Yizheng used wine to relieve his sorrow. The wine that relieves sorrow is the easiest to get drunk.

He drank too much and couldn't speak clearly. He was babbling.

But from his complete words, Li Yuanlang heard a word, or a name that was more appropriate.

This person is Hua Qingya.

In the past, Li Yuanlang felt that this elegant proprietress was good at cooking. When he and Ni Yizheng ate, they usually chose to go to Hua Qingya's private chef.

He was wondering, could Ni Yizheng have that kind of relationship with Hua Qingya?

Now from Ni Yizheng's words, Li Yuanlang felt more or less that his guess was quite accurate. Ni Yizheng and Hua Qingya were completely unclear.

Based on this judgment, Ni Yizheng's transfer was related to this woman.

When Li Yuanlang thought about this, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat down his spine.

The shady affair between him and Wu Hongli has been fairly well concealed for now. If it were to be exposed, he would be no better than Ni Yizheng.

It's a good thing that I didn't get entangled with women in Daiding County, otherwise...

It scares me to think about it.

Ni Yizheng drank too much and the banquet ended here.

After Li Yuanlang paid the bill, he watched the driver put Ni Yizheng into the car and waved goodbye.

The sky was completely dark, and in the twelfth lunar month, a biting cold wind blew, and Li Yuanlang couldn't help but shiver all over.

After pulling up the collar of his down jacket, Li Yuanlang put his hands into his pockets, pulled on his down hat and wrapped it tightly. He chose to walk home instead of calling a taxi.

The New Year is about to come, and the streets in Yunyang City are brightly lit with flashing neon lights, and colorful light bulbs are hung on the trees, twinkling.

Cars are coming and going, and people are flowing, creating a lively and peaceful scene.

Li Yuanlang was walking and enjoying the night view, feeling very comfortable.

At this moment, the phone rang, and it turned out it was Chang Ming.
