Li Yuanlang understood: "Comrade Ming Gao, drinking can help win projects for the county, so it's worth it."

"That's what it is said." Aimingao sighed helplessly: "When you get drunk, you will be the one to suffer if something goes wrong. But sometimes, you still have to drink. There is nothing you can do about it."

After dinner, just after returning to the dormitory, Aimingao's cell phone rang again.

When he looked at the number, he frowned. After answering the call, he said angrily: "Director Chen, what's the matter? You won't let me calm down for a moment."

I don't know what Director Chen said. Ai Mingao frowned and said, "Director, you don't have time? What happened? It takes so much effort to hire someone, what else can you accomplish!"

"I tell you, you must invite the director here tonight no matter what, otherwise you will be unqualified as director of the county party committee office!" After saying that, he hung up the phone angrily and threw it on the sofa.

Li Yuanlang fully felt that Vice Mayor Ai had a strong aura in the county and could definitely tell the truth.

Ai Mingao handed Li Yuanlang another thin gold stick. Li Yuanlang waved his hand repeatedly, "I won't smoke anymore. My throat is a little uncomfortable."

"These people are really useless." Ai Mingao complained while lighting a cigarette. "Relevant department personnel from the city, county and province have all arrived, but the director who originally agreed to attend the banquet has something to do and cannot come. If he is not present, the project

There’s nothing we can talk about.”

Li Yuanlang comforted him and said: "This kind of thing is normal. The leaders of ministries and commissions are busy with their work. If you invite him, others will also invite him. It depends on who has more reputation and who has a stronger background."

"That's the truth." Ai Mingao took a few puffs of cigarette, "But the management of groundwater resources in our county is imperative. For this reason, we have been running for almost a year, and we are only missing one chapter in the department."

I heard from Aimingao that due to its geographical location, groundwater pollution in Cheng'an County was serious. Relevant departments in the city and province allocated a sum of money to transform and treat groundwater resources.

This amount of money is a drop in the bucket, and Cheng'an County is not financially wealthy and cannot afford the management costs. It can only apply for funds from the relevant departments of the Ministry of Water Resources through the provincial department.

After ten months, I finally got almost there, but ended up getting stuck here at the Water Resources Management Department.

So Aimingao found the director through connections and arranged the dinner.

Unexpectedly, when the matter came to light, the director let them go. Aimingao was not only angry but also discouraged. He could only rely on smoking cigarettes to relieve his terrible mood.

Li Yuanlang understood Ai Minggao's mood and could not help him, so he could only chat with him to comfort him.

Aimingao said: "I have worked in Cheng'an County for eight years, from deputy county magistrate to county magistrate to today's county party committee secretary. I have feelings for Cheng'an County."

"To tell you the truth, after I graduate from this training, I will be relieved of my duties as secretary of the county party committee and transferred to the city government. I don't like to show off, and I don't like others to do vigorous political achievement projects to put money on my face.

.”

"I feel that as long as the people benefit and get real benefits, it is better than anything else. This groundwater pollution control and renovation project is the last work I will take charge of during my term. I must do it well and never give it to the next one.

Leave the tail behind and start an unfinished project. Don't let me transfer you, people just call me the unfinished secretary."

Li Yuanlang said with emotion: "Comrade Ming Gao, I understand your mood. I have traveled to many places over the years, and I feel the same for your situation."

"Comrade Yuen Long, with your comfort, I feel much better. We all start from the lowest level. We have experienced many things like this and have had many last resorts."

"Actually, I think that no matter what we do or what process we use, as long as we have a clear conscience and are worthy of the heavy responsibility that the people have given us, I will be satisfied."

Even though he had only been in contact with Aimingao for a few hours, Li Yuanlang could feel that Aimingao had something in common with him.

There is really a kind of telepathy like a close friend.

Beeping, Ai Mingao's cell phone rang again.

"Hey, Director Chen, how are you?" Aimingao asked curiously.

I saw him listening and nodding, "Is that so, the young master Yue you are talking about is really the son of Deputy Minister Yue? Yes, invite him here, the director will not deny Deputy Minister Yue's face. Okay, you see

The arrangements must be made to a high standard, and the son-in-law must not be allowed to find fault."

Obviously, Aimingao was in a much more relaxed mood at this time.

He slowly leaned his head on the sofa and took a deep breath, "Director Chen is quite capable. He invited the son of Vice Minister Yue. Vice Minister Yue is the executive deputy minister, second only to the minister. If Vice Minister Yue speaks, this matter will

It’s basically a done deal.”

Mr.-in-law!

Li Yuanlang recalled quickly and suddenly smiled, "You said, "You are talking about Yueyang, right?"

Ai Minggao was stunned, "I really didn't ask for his name, I only know his identity. Comrade Yuen Long, do you know him?"

Li Yuanlang shook his head, "I'm not familiar with him, I just met him once."

"Great!" Ai Minggao slapped his thigh, sat up straight, and said excitedly: "Do you have any plans for the evening? If not, can you go with me?"

"No, no, no!" Li Yuanlang waved his hand hurriedly, "This is a matter between you and Yue Yang. How can I, an outsider, interfere in it? Forget it."

"What kind of outsider!" Aimingao corrected, "You are my classmate and roommate. Don't forget, the two of us will be together for half a year in the future. Please give me face, I beg you."

Li Yuanlang didn't want to agree, but he couldn't resist Ai Mingao's good words, and because of their roommate relationship, he had no choice but to agree.

Some things cannot be described as "qiao".

Yue Yang asked to go to the Yuda Club by name and said that he could not eat anywhere else, not even at the Jingcheng Hotel.

This time, Ai Mingao was stumped.

Not everyone can go to Yuda Club if they want to, and no one is allowed in without a membership card.

Unfortunately, Aimingao and the others do not have membership cards. Even if they want to spend money to apply for one, there is no way.

Aimingao called over and over again, going through almost all the contacts in the phone book, but made no progress.

At this moment, Li Yuanlang had just returned from the library.

Taking this opportunity, he could just go there to recharge his batteries and increase his knowledge.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Aimingao with a frown on his face, spinning around in place.

When I asked, I found out why.

Li Yuanlang thought for a while and said, "How about I give it a try."

"You!" Aimingao asked in surprise: "Are you related?"

"I'll go out and make a phone call."

After walking out of the dormitory and finding a secluded place, Li Yuanlang called Bai Qing's cell phone, chatted for a few words, and got down to business.

After hearing this, Bai Qing said with a smile: "I thought it was a big deal. I will send you a number and report it to them when the time comes. This number is my gold card number. This card has no limit on the number of people, benefits, and discounts on meals."

.”

"You still have a way. This time I'm going to offend you once and make up for it later." Li Yuanlang joked.

But Bai Qing said: "You are such a mouthful, what kind of compensation can you give me?"

Li Yuanlang understood what she was implying, so he could only advise: "I can't give it to you even if I want to. You are inconvenient..."

"I'm more than four months pregnant. I'm past the dangerous period long ago. I should be fine."

Li Yuanlang could only say: "We will discuss it in depth when I get back from the weekend break."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After returning, Aimingao asked hurriedly: "How was it? Did you get the membership card?"

Li Yuanlang shrugged and spread his hands, "I didn't get it."

Ai Mingao was so disappointed that he almost went crazy with anxiety.

Seeing that it was less than two hours before the agreed time, everyone tried their best and still got nothing. If they could not meet the requirements of Mr.-in-law, they might be in trouble again.

It's a trivial matter to mess up. Offending Mr. Yue is equivalent to offending Deputy Minister Yue, and their project will be even more hopeless.

Seeing Ai Mingao's appearance, Li Yuanlang stopped teasing him and directly mentioned the serial number Bai Qing sent him.

"Will this work?" Aimingao was full of doubts. "Is it better than a membership card?"

"You will know after you try it."

At this point, Aimingao can't think of any other clever tricks, so he can only make do with it.

Half an hour later, the Beijing Office of the Cheng'an County Letters and Calls Bureau drove up two cars, a black car and a seven-seat SUV behind it.

This time, in addition to Director Chen of the County Party Committee Office, Cheng'an County came to Beijing as well as the executive deputy county magistrate and the deputy county magistrate in charge of water affairs.

In the car behind, sat the deputy director of the Municipal Water Affairs Bureau and two directors of the Provincial Water Resources Department.

All in all, there were eight people.

Ai Mingao, who was sitting in the car, glanced at Li Yuanlang from the corner of his eye, but felt uneasy in his heart.
