Li Yuanlang walked in and saw that both parties were quarreling. On one side was Han Wei, who had a thick face and neck, and on the other side was the boss's wife Gao Yuee.

When I asked about the reason for the quarrel, I found out that Gao Yue'e had added a dish to the menu called Wood Frog Stewed with Potatoes.

Even though it’s just an added dish, it’s not a small trick. October in the golden autumn is when wood frogs produce seeds. Generally, male wood frogs only sell for tens of yuan per catty, but female wood frogs with seeds cost more than 200 yuan.

Or even around 300. The reason is that the female wood frog has thick oil, and its oviduct is also called toad oil. It is a precious tonic. Its nutritional content is no less than that of ginseng, bird's nest, and cordyceps, and it also has the effect of tonifying the kidneys and aphrodisiac.

According to Gao Yuee'e, it would take at least two kilograms to stew a large bowl of female forest frogs, and a total of two tables would require four kilograms of female forest frogs. Calculating this, it would cost more than a thousand yuan to buy these things.

Moreover, Gao Yue'e was also very dissatisfied with the ordinary sorghum white that Han Wei only bought for more than ten yuan a bottle. Bottled wine in the countryside was at least a hundred yuan, so she wouldn't drink such cheap wine for free. Secretary Ma guaranteed it after meeting him.

angry.

Han Wei came up stubbornly and spoke straightforwardly: "I don't have money to eat in the countryside, so the director bought it with his own money. These things have already cost more than 500 yuan, and you asked me to buy female wood frogs and high-end wine. The director still has to take the money."

, Why! Besides, you are not from the township government, so dictating things here is too much."

Gao Yue'e wanted to retaliate, but when she heard that Li Yuanlang paid out of his own pocket, his eyes widened and he exclaimed: "Head Li, why are you doing this? I am the one who accounts for the expenses in the township. All the expenses are recorded in it."

, you don’t have to pay for it personally.”

Li Yuanlang said with a straight face: "Boss Gao, please figure out how much money the township owes you, and I will pay it off as soon as possible. This time we will settle the payment in cash. In the future, meals in the township will be arranged in the canteen, so I won't cause you any more trouble."

"What!" Gao Yue'e thought she heard wrongly and asked again, receiving a very affirmative nod from Li Yuanlang.

Gao Yuee'e was dumbfounded. Once the township government canceled the designated dining at Ye Yuhua Restaurant, she would suffer huge losses.

You know, the money that the villagers eat, drink and get from her here is no less than ten or two hundred thousand a year. There are only a handful of catering industries in the small Shuiming Township that can earn such an income. She has also made a lot of money from this over the years.

Less money.

Seeing that the money tree was about to fall, Gao Yue'e quit, so she pulled Li Yuanlang aside, her charming phoenix eyes flashed with lightning, and she used her unique skill to seduce men. She took Li Yuanlang's arm and began to act coquettishly.

"Good brother, I'm still doing this with my sister. I just made a little joke. Let's do this. The stewed forest frog is mine, and the money for drinks and cigarettes is mine. Secretary Ma likes this. I

I am also thinking about you. And..." She deliberately avoided Han Wei and whispered directly into Li Yuanlang's ear: "As long as Xiangli continues to eat at my place in the future, I will give you a 5% rebate, or I will compensate you.

I’ll give it to you too.”

When Gao Yue'e spoke, the hot air from her mouth tickled Li Yuanlang's ear, which made him feel uncomfortable. He hurriedly moved away, dodged Gao Yue'e, pressed her explosive convex surface against his elbow, and said righteously: "Gao Yue'e

Boss, please respect yourself. Our village is poor and we can no longer afford to eat and drink. As for what you said about Secretary Ma's liking of forest frogs and good liquor, I will let Han Wei prepare it."

After saying that, he took out his bank card from his wallet and handed it to Han Wei, telling him to buy it quickly according to Gao Yuee's request and not to delay the dinner party in the evening.

Han Wei didn't understand what he meant and stood still. Li Yuanlang ignored Gao Yue'e and pulled him out and said, "Go and buy it quickly."

"Director, this woman is deliberately making things difficult. I don't believe Secretary Ma would ask for this."

Han Wei did not understand the twists and turns here, so Li Yuanlang explained to him that Gao Yuee'e must have received instructions from someone, and she alone did not have the courage.

"Oh, Director, could this be what Secretary Ma meant..."

"Stop talking and go quickly!" Li Yuanlang pushed Han Wei.

But before Han Wei took two steps, he suddenly turned back and complained to Li Yuanlang: "Director, I don't think you should always give in to Secretary Ma. The more you give in to him, the more he will bully you."

"I know what's going on, go quickly." Li Yuanlang patted Han Wei on the shoulder, watched him go away, and then walked into the township government building.

He met Zhang Guorui head-on, with Wu Hongli beside him. It seemed that the two of them were waiting for him on purpose and had something to say to him.

The three people nodded to each other. Li Yuanlang did not go in but went to the parking lot to drive out the car. After that, Zhang Guorui and Wu Hongli got in the car respectively. As soon as he turned the steering wheel and drove to a secluded place, he asked them: "Brother Zhang,

Sister Wu, if you have any questions, feel free to ask, it’s quiet here.”

"Liu Shuxi changed your office to the one that Xiao Zhanzhan once used, and is arranging for people to move. Is this happening?" Wu Hongli was outspoken and couldn't hide the matter in her heart. She poured the beans out of the bamboo tube and spoke out loudly.

"Yuen Long, this must be Ma Shengran's idea. I saw your low profile at today's meeting. This attitude is not wrong. There is no benefit in confronting Ma Shengran, but you can't wrong yourself too much." Zhang Guorui handed over.

Give Li Yuanlang a cigarette, he is worried.

Li Yuanlang took it and said with a bitter smile: "Not only are they forcing me to change offices, but also..." Then he shook off the shady things that had just happened one by one.

"That's too much!" Zhang Guorui was so angry that he crushed half of the cigarette and threw it out of the car window.

Wu Hongli was also angry and slapped her thigh directly, while Wen Jing's face was covered with frost. The two people defended Li Yuanlang and calmed down. Zhang Guorui and Wu Hongli asked Li Yuanlang's next strategy.

Li Yuanlang smiled at Zhang Guorui in the passenger seat and said four words: "Let nature take its course."

Zhang Guorui understood immediately, turned to Wu Hongli and said: "Hongli, Yuen Long has already made a plan. I believe he can cope with it." He patted the back of Li Yuanlang's hand and said, "This is very painful for you."

At five o'clock in the afternoon, all middle-level and above-level leaders of Shuiming Township gathered at Ye Yuhua Hotel. Two banquet tables were set up in the private room.

The eleven party committee members of Shuiming Township happened to have a table together, while the others were dining next door.

During the dinner, Ma Shengran was proud of the spring breeze. He picked up the wine glass and said as the host: "Today can be said to be a happy day for our township. Firstly, I congratulate Li Yuanlang on his appointment as the township head. Secondly, I also welcome Sun Qi to work in Shuiming Township. The third one is mine.

I have a personal suggestion. Comrade Li Yuanlang has been working in the county before, even as the executive deputy mayor for less than a month. He lacks experience at the grassroots level. I hope that we all can help him more in the future. I also hope that people like me, Shuxi, and Tan Gangcanru will

In the Spring and Autumn Period, old people like Fan Zheng lend a helping hand more often. Comrade Li Yuanlang is young after all. If he points out any shortcomings in person, I believe Comrade Li Yuanlang will listen to them and will repay everyone with practical actions."

These words have a deeper meaning. It is clear that Li Yuanlang is young and has little experience. If I don't have Ma Shengran to protect him, it will be difficult for him to move forward in the future.

Li Yuanlang took the opportunity to take over the conversation, raised his glass and said to Ma Shengran and his colleagues present: "Secretary Ma is deeply touching from the bottom of his heart. I also hope that in the future, if you have anything to say, you will say it clearly and correct me face to face. With this glass of wine, I will first

I did it to show my sincerity."

After speaking, Li Yuanlang raised his neck, took about a tael of liquor, and drank it all without blinking.

"Hahaha..." Liu Shuxi laughed immediately, and said to Li Yuanlang with a glass of wine: "Head Li is really refreshing. I represent myself with this glass of wine, and I would like to pay my respects to Mr. Li first."

Before Li Yuanlang could reply, Zhang Guorui stretched out his hand to stop him with a straight face: "Director Liu, you don't see that Secretary Ma has something to say, and you must prioritize what you do."

Liu Shuxi could only smile awkwardly, sit down and look at Ma Shengran's face pretending to be calm, and said no more.

"Since Guorui mentioned this, I just have something to say to everyone." Ma Shengran wiped his mouth. Didn't he hear the subtext of Li Yuanlang's words just now? He meant to warn against making small moves behind his back.

Ma Shengran heard what he heard, and felt like needles piercing his heart. He coughed lightly, and then said: "Town chief Li just said that we should all be aboveboard in the future, and speak clearly in person and not talk behind our backs. I agree with this. I hope everyone will agree.

We must keep our eyes and ears in mind, and we must form a system. Don't form small cliques. We are all members of the same team, stirring the horse in the same pot. We are comrades in the trenches, and they should be twisted into a rope to work hard.

Let’s go to one place and work together for the future of Shuiming Township.”

After being reminded by Ma Shengran's words, Li Yuanlang immediately understood that the reason why Ma Shengran made things difficult for him again and again was because this was a heavy blow to Li Yuanlang for being suspected of forming a gang, and it was a warning to kill the chicken to show the monkey.

Seeing this, Wu Hongli stood up and held a cup and said: "What Secretary Ma said is great, we all need to be educated. I suggest that we share this glass of wine with Secretary Ma. Secretary Ma has worked hard for our Shuiming Township for most of his life, and his hard work has made great achievements.

It should be worthy of these four words."

"Commissioner Wu said it well. I agree. Let's collectively toast Secretary Ma for this glass of wine!" Li Yuanlang held the cup in both hands and faced Ma Shengran. His respectful look was very helpful to Ma Shengran.

His originally cold and frosty face gradually changed into a smile. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he showed happiness anyway. "Haha, I, Ma, don't dare to treat me like this. I deserve it."

"Secretary Ma, you are the backbone of our Shuiming Township. Without you, none of us would know how to work." Li Yuanlang kept praising Ma Shengran, telling him not to take precautions and not point the finger.

Always focus on yourself.

This sentence has always been instilled in Li Yuanlang's heart. Be unassuming and keep a low profile, so as not to attract Ma Shengran's attention. This is also Li Yuanlang's preservation strategy.

As a result, everyone stood up together, took glasses, and toasted Ma Shengran. With a burst of warm laughter, Ma Shengran enjoyed it happily, drank it all immediately, and looked at everyone with pleasure.
