Chapter 1001 Smooth start
The day after the public notice period, Li Yuanlang and his party, led by Xue Kaifang, deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, immediately rushed to Huaicheng City.
In An Giang Province in winter, the temperature has dropped to more than ten degrees below zero, and the surroundings are completely white.
Xue Kaifeng's Hongqi car was in front, and Li Yuanlang was sitting in Mu Guangsen's BYD car, looking out the window and thinking quietly.
He was not sitting in Xue Kaiqi's car. This deputy minister Xue gave Li Yuanlang a bad impression and was very arrogant.
As the lower-ranked deputy minister of the Organization Department, he naturally knew that Li Yuanlang was transferred from Rongshan Province by Secretary Luan Fangren.
But he knew nothing about Li Yuanlang's other circumstances.
Even now in the information age, when a person is not interested in you, he will naturally not pay much attention to you, let alone inquire.
From this point of view, Luan Fangyen has not yet established a firm foothold in An Giang Province.
Don't think that the top leader is so easy to do, and if he says what he says, the people below him will obey him. It all depends on the situation.
An Giang Province is a province with a high degree of xenophobia. Over the years, local forces have been very strong and hold many important positions.
Even if the first and second leaders are transferred from outside, the local forces can still achieve an even split.
Luan Fangren took office not long ago and is still in the exploratory stage.
Xue Kaiqi knew that Li Yuanlang was Secretary Luan's man, and his neither salty nor indifferent attitude towards Li Yuanlang came from the fact that the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee assigned him to send Li Yuanlang to take office.
Generally speaking, if this person is valued, the Organization Department will send the executive deputy director to come.
The executive deputy minister is at the department level, and is sent to the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee at the deputy department level, which is regarded as a high-level treatment.
On the contrary, when the Organization Minister asked him to send Li Yuanlang to take up his post, he could only explain that official matters were handled and daily operations were carried out.
Therefore, when Deputy Minister Xue watched the dishes being served, he felt that the minister didn't even give Luan Fangren face, so why would he bother to sympathize with Li Yuanlang? It wasn't worth it.
Before setting off, I saw Li Yuanlang bringing a car. It was an old model BYD that was in an old condition, and I even scorned Li Yuanlang.
He is simply a countryman who has never seen the world. This is Xue Qiqi's overall evaluation of Li Yuanlang.
So, when he got into the car, he waved his hand directly and asked BYD to follow his car without asking Li Yuanlang.
Being ignored by Xue Kaikai, Li Yuanlang was in a bad mood.
Sitting in the car, I was worried and frowning. I barely said a word along the way.
Mu Guangsen knew that his boss was not thinking well, so he had to shut up and concentrate on driving. The atmosphere was frozen for a while.
Huaicheng is more than 200 kilometers away from Haixin City, and the entire highway journey only takes about two hours to reach the toll station.
The sky is always gloomy, and as soon as we hit the highway, there are goose-feather-like snowflakes.
On the ring road leading to the city, the Hongqi car was in front and BYD was following behind. The two cars circled for more than ten minutes, and a city shrouded in flying snow suddenly appeared in front of them.
Li Yuanlang looked at the time and saw that it was already half past ten in the morning.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the city. When he thought that he would take root and work here, he felt a kind of anger in his chest that was difficult to vent.
Two words: depressed.
A feeling I've never felt before.
As soon as they entered the city, the red flag car suddenly slowed down. Through the windshield in front of the car, Li Yuanlang saw a traffic policeman blocking the road at the intersection, and two police cars with sirens flashing parked next to them.
They must have heard about their arrival, and it was probably the guide vehicle sent by the Huaicheng police to guide them.
Li Yuanlang remained unmoved, leaning out his body slowly against the back of the chair.
Sure enough, the red flag car paused briefly, and then the traffic police saluted the car and extended his hand to let him go.
Later, when it was Li Yuanlang's turn to drive BYD, the traffic policeman made a stop sign as usual.
Walking to the driver's side and knocking on the window, Mu Guangsen pressed down the window.
The traffic policeman glanced at the back seat of the car and reached out to ask Mu Guangsen for his driver's license. He wanted to check it.
Mu Guangsen quickly explained: "We are with the Hongqi car."
The traffic policeman curled his lips disdainfully, "Stop trying to put money on your face. Even your old BYD is worthy of it? Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and take out your driver's license and travel book."
Mu Guangsen wanted to defend himself, but Li Yuanlang stopped him and said, "Guangsen, show him the thing."
In desperation, Mu Guangsen had no choice but to do so.
The traffic policeman looked at it for a few times, then returned it to Mu Guangsen and said: "The road ahead is closed, you can enter the city through the road next to it."
Mu Guangsen asked in confusion: "The road is closed? How can a red flag car pass by?"
The traffic policeman's face became stern, "That's the provincial leader's car, so of course special things need to be done. I find that you talk a lot of nonsense. If you continue to ask questions, be careful that I will impound your car!"
Mu Guangsen was holding his breath and his face turned red. Just when he was about to retort, Li Yuanlang patted the back of his chair and reminded him: "Listen to him."
The traffic policeman nodded with satisfaction, "This man is still sensible." Then he gestured to BYD to turn around and drive away.
On the way, Mu Guangsen couldn't help but complain, "The dog looks down on others. Seeing that our car is broken, let us take the wrong road and go around in such a long circle. It will waste at least ten minutes at least."
"That's fine." Li Yuanlang said calmly, "It's just right for you to appreciate the scenery of this city."
He turned around and looked behind the car and found that the cars behind him were also stopped by the traffic police. He followed them and circled into the city.
He wondered in his mind that the traffic police had temporarily set up the traffic jam not for them, but for other reasons.
What's the reason?
Fortunately, there were no more inquiries along the way, but there were a few more red lights. By the time we arrived at the Huaicheng Party Committee Office Building, the red-flag car had long been parked in the parking lot.
Li Yuanlang got out of the car, followed closely by Mu Guangsen carrying his briefcase.
As soon as he entered, he saw a man in his forties coming up to him and proactively asked: "Who is Comrade Li Yuanlang?"
"I am."
The man smiled and took a step forward, stretched out his hands, and introduced himself: "Hello, Deputy Secretary Li, my name is Jiao Dongqiang, Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee Office."
"Secretary-General Jiao, hello." Li Yuanlang and Jiao Dongqiang shook hands.
"I have been ordered by Secretary Sheng to wait for Deputy Secretary Li here. Minister Xue is already in Secretary Sheng's office. Please follow me."
On the way, Jiao Dongqiang asked with concern: "Why is Deputy Secretary Li late?"
Li Yuanlang smiled bitterly: "My car was stopped by the traffic police and they said the road was closed, so I drove around in a circle before I came over."
"Road closed?" Jiao Dongqiang was stunned, "Which way into the city?"
Li Yuanlang nodded in response: "Yes."
Jiao Dongqiang did not show any surprise, as if he had expected it.
Li Yuanlang probed and asked: "Does Secretary-General Jiao know the reason?"
Jiao Dongqiang quickly shook his head like a rattle, "I don't know."
Li Yuanlang understood that he was not telling the truth.
Huaicheng Party Committee Secretary Sheng Zhizhi, 45 years old.
He is of medium height, with eagle eyes and a broad nose. His most obvious feature is his very serious face.
Even though I started chatting and laughing with Xue, I felt that his smile was very awkward, and it is most appropriate to describe it as a superficial smile but not a smile.
As soon as Li Yuanlang came in, Sheng Zhizhi immediately stopped talking.
Xue Kaiqi stood up slowly and said, "Secretary Sheng, let me introduce to you. This is Deputy Secretary Li Yuanlang who has just arrived." At the same time, he also introduced Sheng Zhizhi to Li Yuanlang.
Sheng Zhi stood up, shook hands with Li Yuanlang and said politely: "Welcome to work for the Huaicheng Committee."
"Secretary Sheng, I will definitely assist you in the daily affairs of the municipal party committee."
There is nothing wrong with this. As deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, Li Yuanlang's duty is to assist the secretary of the municipal party committee in handling the daily work of the municipal party committee.
After the greetings were completed, Sheng Zhizhi asked Li Yuanlang to sit on the sofa.
What I say now are all polite words with no nutrition.
After a while, the secretary came in and told Sheng Zhi that the standing committee members were in place.
Sheng Zhi stood up and said: "Vice Minister Xue, Comrade Yuen Long, let's go there together."
All 11 members of the Standing Committee of Huaicheng City attended this meeting.
Li Yuanlang nodded to everyone and officially made his appearance.
In addition to Sheng Zhi, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Li Yuanlang met Mayor Li Genhuo, who has thick eyebrows, big eyes and a loud voice.
Among the other members of the Standing Committee, Li Yuanlang did not accept everything, but only had a big picture.
Basically, they are all over forty years old, except for one person, who looks very young and on par with me.
Li Yuanlang remembered that his name was Lian Mingyu, deputy mayor of the municipal government.
Surprisingly, Jiao Dongqiang is not in the Standing Committee.
In most cases, the secretary-general of the municipal party committee office concurrently serves as a member of the municipal party committee standing committee. This is just a convention and is not completely fixed.
Li Yuanlang also understood why Jiao Dongqiang was waiting for him.
Chapter completed!
