"Have you ever heard of the name Xue Yongxiang?"

Li Yuanlang certainly knows that Xue Yongxiang is currently the Bureau Committee, Secretary of the Far South Provincial Party Committee, and the First Political Commissar of the Far South Military Region.

So Li Yuanlang asked: "It is said that he is the person favored by the senior officials."

"The rumors are credible." Shui Qingzhang nodded slightly, "He is gaining momentum and all parties are optimistic about him. There is a high demand for him to be admitted to the permanent membership in the next term. He is Xue Lu's eldest brother. Do you think Xue Lu can not be domineering?

"

I see.

"Her personality is like that. She is domineering. Don't argue with her. Just listen to what she says. There is no need to make things too tense."

"Dad, I understand."

Mr. Gu was still in good spirits. He greeted everyone one by one and asked Li Yuanlang about Shui Tingyue's pregnancy.

No matter how you say it, it is still the blood of the Gu family. The old man was naturally happy to see four generations living under the same roof. He made an exception and drank a little wine.

However, the conversation that Li Yuanlang expected did not occur at the dinner table. No one spoke much during the meal. They only talked about anecdotes that they had heard, and not a word about official matters.

On this occasion, Li Yuanlang became the complete audience. Unless someone asked him, he would only answer a few questions. He knew etiquette.

Home-cooked meals do not include big fish or meat, and are mainly light. But the emphasis is on carefully selected and carefully prepared dishes, and the taste is beyond praise.

The atmosphere is harmonious, but a little dull.

After dinner, Mr. Gu walked in front with a cane in his hand, his two sons and Shui Qingzhang followed behind, Li Yuanlang walked at the back, and several people strolled into the study.

The old man sat down in the recliner with the help of Gu Zhengchuan. The weather was getting cold, so Gu Zhenggang covered the old father's legs with a blanket. The service staff served tea and Zhiqu left. Wang Pan was not seen during the whole process.

"You all should sit down." Mr. Gu pointed to the sofa in front of him.

Everyone found their seats and sat down opposite Mr. Gu one after another. Li Yuanlang moved a chair and sat down next to Shui Qingzhang.

The old man said slowly and solemnly: "Since the new team took office, the government has been harmonious and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Our international status has also been significantly improved. Even the big country in the west is paying attention to us, trying every means to pursue and intercept us, and using various conspiracy methods.

Hindering our development. Hum! We have never been afraid of them, they are just paper tigers!"

"What dad said is absolutely true." Tan Zhengchuan took over the topic and said: "The top management has already prepared countermeasures. The reason why the country to the west is called the number one in the world is because they do not allow the existence of the number two in the world. Toyota back then

This is the case for other countries, and the Mercedes-Benz country has also experienced suppression and was beaten directly to the ground, and it has been unable to recover for decades."

Gu Zhenggan looks at the problem from the perspective of domestic forms.

He said: "In recent years, our economy has developed rapidly, especially in science and technology, which has made rapid changes and attracted the attention of the world."

"Yes." Shui Qingzhang also said: "We are already at the forefront of the world in high-tech technologies such as aircraft carriers and spaceships. We have become proficient in these technologies that only Western countries could master in the past and can use them freely."

Mr. Gu nodded slightly, his face glowing red and his spirit in high spirits.

The success their generation has achieved in the hands of future generations will be no less joyful than when they overthrew the feudal dynasty and rescued the working people from dire straits.

Li Yuanlang pondered coldly and said not a word.

Even though the old man was over ninety years old, he had sharp ears and eyes and quick reactions. He picked up the clues from Li Yuanlang's expression and said kindly: "Yuan Long, you seem to have different ideas. Let's talk about it."

"Grandpa..." Li Yuanlang hesitated for a while and stopped talking.

"Haha, it seems that Yuen Long is still very reserved. It's okay, kid. Say whatever you want. This is at home. You can speak freely. Even if you say something wrong, it doesn't matter. It's not poisonous!"

The old man was in excellent condition at this time and was in a very good mood. His expression no longer had the majesty of a superior, but more of the care and love of the elders for the younger ones.

Gu Zhengchuan then said: "Yuen Long, your grandpa has been upright and upright in his life. He is outspoken and eloquent. He upholds the principle that people should speak before others and not after others. You can say anything you have and no one will blame you."

Shui Qingzhang also nodded and gave Li Yuanlang an encouraging look.

"Okay." Li Yuanlang first looked at Mr. Gu, then looked around at the other three people, and said slowly: "Grandpa, the three elders, I will speak out and show my shame."

"I completely agree with your point of view just now. But I am thinking that the current overall situation in our country is good, and this team is also vigorously promoting anti-corruption and upholding integrity, striking hard, and punishing a large number of corrupt officials and evil forces.

Protective umbrella.”

"The mainstream of our party members and cadres is good, but we must also be soberly aware that in some areas, corruption and negative phenomena are still prone to occur frequently, some incidents have a bad impact, and the people still have many dissatisfaction. As the senior leader said

In this way, the fight against corruption must be unremitting, and the alarm bell must be sounded to resist corruption and prevent degeneration, and we must fight frequently and for a long time.”

"I am the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Xiwu County. I receive several or even a dozen reporting letters every day. There are also several cases that our Discipline Inspection Commission has to deal with every day. I was thinking that the country's anti-corruption efforts are so strong and the punishments are so severe, why are we still

Is there anyone willing to take the risk?"

"I think one is driven by interests, and the other is caused by our imperfect supervision mechanism."

"Oh?" Mr. Gu raised his eyebrows, leaned forward with interest, and asked, "Listening to your tone, do you have any new ideas?"

"Grandpa, my idea is not mature yet and I haven't considered it thoroughly. I just have a small suggestion."

"Tell me about it."

Not only Mr. Gu, but the other three people also looked sideways at Li Yuanlang, their expressions full of expectation.

"I think it is not enough for officials to declare their property, they must also declare their wages. There must also be transparency about the occupations of the officials' spouses and children. If the children are studying abroad, they must sign a guarantee. If they succeed in their studies, they must return to the country to work. This is resolutely eliminated.

The behavior of children settling abroad.”

"In short, we must develop a social atmosphere, let officials live under a shadowless lamp, and let everyone understand that being an official is not about enjoyment or a shortcut to using the power in your hands to obtain benefits."

"Also, we need to increase the power of discipline inspection. For example, in Xiwu County, the Discipline Inspection Commission is under the leadership of the county committee. So the question is, if a problem arises between a county secretary and a county chief, how should the Discipline Inspection Commission respond? Will it be constrained?

?”

"Some people used to say that using the masses to supervise leading cadres is actually a lie and empty talk. Let me ask you, the common people are the bottom group and have no power. How can it be said that the powerless can supervise the powerful."

"Anti-corruption is our national policy and the basis for social stability. Nowadays, people's lives are better than before, but their demands are more than before. This requires us as cadres to start from the perspective of the people and do more for them.

Be practical and talk less empty words.”

"To forge iron, we need to be strong ourselves. As long as we are clean and clean, only if we do it ourselves, will the people believe in the party and the government, and believe that we are good cadres who serve the people wholeheartedly."

Li Yuanlang's words were like causing a ripple on the calm water, which aroused everyone's surprise.

Especially Mr. Gu, he was thinking deeply about every word Li Yuanlang said.

Although the old man has been retired for many years, his essence of serving the people has not changed.

He did not speak immediately, but looked at his son and son-in-law one by one.

They were all deputy provincial officials and played an important role in their respective provinces. He wanted to hear their children's thoughts.

As the eldest of the children and the person with the highest position, Gu Zhengchuan was naturally the first to express his position. This is tradition and rule.

"Dad," he nodded towards the old man, then turned to look at Li Yuanlang and said, "It is true that some of what you said is true, but also a bit extreme. I don't completely agree. You can declare your property or salary, but you must announce the occupation of your children and spouses.

I think this approach is inappropriate. We officials are also human beings and have privacy. This does not mean exposing our privacy to the public. That would cause a lot of trouble and impact, and would do more harm than good."

Gu Zhenggang continued: "I think what the elder brother said makes sense. Once the family members' occupations are announced, will they be used by people with ulterior motives? Yuen Long, have you ever thought about this?"

Shui Qingzhang didn't speak, and he couldn't speak. On one side was his father-in-law and brother-in-law, and on the other was his son-in-law. The palms and backs of his hands were all flesh, and he was caught in a dilemma.

At the same time, he was also worried about Li Yuanlang. He didn't know how his son-in-law would perform at the Gu family's family meeting for the first time, whether he would be qualified, and whether he could pass the old man's test.
