Chapter 37 Accidents (Part 1)
Min Lulei's temperament looks somewhat similar to You Kuangdi. He looks gentle and elegant. He also wears a pair of glasses. He often smiles with a soft look and hides a hint of coldness. It is difficult to see what they are thinking in their hearts.
Li Chen instinctively rejects such people.
Strangely, in Changba Township and Pingde County, the two leaders of the local faction seem to be more like knowledge-based leaders, while Xu Ping and Song Xiongxin are more like native grass-roots faction.
Of course, this is just on the surface. Xu Ping and Song Xiongxin have both served as soldiers, so it is not surprising that their leadership styles are relatively similar.
Peng Fei introduced the other two people to Li Chen. The older middle-aged man was Huo Hongsang, director of the Pingde County Government Office, and the younger one was Zhao Peng, the head of the General Section of the Government Office, who was Min Lulei's secretary.
"Min County Mayor Min, you see it's already past eleven o'clock. Should you use a meal first?" After Li Chen said hello, You Kuangdi asked Min Lulei for instructions.
Min Lulei didn't look at Li Chen, so he nodded: "Okay, then it's simpler, don't be too extravagant."
The lunch meal is arranged in the township guesthouse, in Changba, which is known as Xiaozhao. The commercial atmosphere in Changba Township is deserted and the catering industry is not developed, so Xiaozhao is still at a higher level.
From the outside, Xiaozhao looked at it with a bad appearance, but the decoration inside was very "luxury" and shining.
In Li Chen's opinion, such an environment is a bit tacky, but the grade is not high.
The county magistrate went to the countryside, and Xu Ping, the secretary of the township party committee, was not there, so he accompanied the township party chief You Kuangdi and deputy secretary Ji Cheng, and all the township party committee members including Li Lihong and others. In addition, Huo Xidong, director of the Party and Government Office, You Kaizhi, director of the Finance Office, and Liu Cheng, president of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, also accompanied him.
Min Lulei also asked You Kuangdi to invite Lin Zihan to participate, but Lin Zihan refused to say that she disliked this kind of social engagement the most and did not give You Kuangdi or Min Lulei any face.
Lin Zihan's organizational relationship is in Bashu Province, and they really have no choice.
Xiaozhao was next to the township government, and everyone walked to it. Along the way, whether it was Min Lulei or You Kuangdi, they ignored Li Chen, only Peng Fei walked beside him and asked about the situation of going to the countryside these days.
Li Chen kept smiling: "Captain Peng, this time I went to the countryside, my biggest feeling is that Changba Township is very poor. It is said that our country has entered a well-off society. I think there are still many places in Changba Township that have not yet been resolved. This is our shame."
Peng Fei's face froze. He could feel that Li Chen was always beating him. Li Chen was several years younger than him, and was not as high as his level. He was still an outsider. He did this a bit unruly.
But Li Chen stood in theory and had a very good background. In addition, he had just made great contributions to the matter of potatoes. It was really hard for Peng Fei to say anything when he did this.
After all, Peng Fei agreed with Li Chen's statements, but he did not do it, which made him feel very ashamed.
The so-called justified person is Li Chen.
When he arrived at Xiaozhao's banquet hall, Min Lulei sat down in the guest seat of the host, and seemed to remember Li Chen, and suddenly waved to him: "Xiao Li, come, sit here, I have something to ask you."
Li Chen acted very humble and sat on the right side of Min Lulei. Next to him was Ji Chengdong, deputy secretary of the township party committee.
Unlike Xu Ping's popularity and You Kuangdi's femininity, Ji Chengdong always has a cold face. It is said that this is the style left over from his post as a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and he is known as the Cold-faced King of Hell.
You Shihai, the current member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, is an old subordinate of Ji Chengdong. The two have very similar styles. In order to facilitate the distinction, everyone calls You Shihai, who has darker skin, "Black-faced Yan Luo".
Another person who is in a bad mood here is the political and legal committee member and the police station director You Chun, who also has a nickname called "The King of Black Tower".
You Chun is tall and has a dark face. He also controls the powerful police station in the village with his own hands. It is not a loss to the title of "Black Tower King".
These three people are unique among the leaders of Changba Township. They are independent of Xu Ping and You Kuangdi's factions and help each other, but they are not independent factions and have stronger independence from each other.
After Min Lulei called Li Chen to his side, he turned his face to talk to You Kuangdi, as if he had forgotten Li Chen again. He was also beating Li Chen, but Li Chen might not have bought his account.
Min Lulei, You Kuangdi, and even Ji Chengdong were quietly observing Li Chen's reaction. When ordinary young people encounter this situation, they will definitely be unable to get up and down by Min Lulei's cold and hot attitude, and they are worried about gains and losses, but they can't see this from Li Chen at all.
Ji Chengdong suddenly said, "Li Chen, where have you been to these days?"
Ji Chengdong's tone was a little tough, and Li Chen didn't take it to heart, knowing that he had this kind of personality: "Secretary Ji, I just went to several villages in the west. I just went to Dashan Village yesterday and was called back today."
"Oh, do you still want to go?" Ji Chengdong asked.
Li Chen nodded: "Of course, I feel that the situation in several villages in the east is more difficult and there is more things to do."
"Yeah!" Ji Chengdong nodded slightly and said a few more unexpectedly: "Xiao Li is good. When doing things, young people have to go deep into the grassroots level. Only by fully understanding the situation can they do things."
You Shihai looked at Li Chen in surprise. Ji Chengdong was in charge of the work of the party and the masses, and it was rare to praise him when he saw him.
At this time, the lights in the room suddenly flashed and all went out. Although it was daytime and it was not dark, the light in the room was not good and was dim and unclear.
Huo Xidong quickly stood up: "I'll go and ask what's going on."
After a while, Huo Xidong and Xiaozhao's manager returned to the banquet hall together and reported to Min Lulei and You Kuangdi: "It may be that there is a problem with the line, and the power in the village has been out of power."
"Why is there a power outage?" Min Lulei looked very unhappy. People in the officialdom were particularly taboo about this, and it was probably a bad sign.
You Kuangdi opened his mouth and was about to explain, when the lights in the hall flashed and returned to the original state, You Kuangdi breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the power supply station has tripped."
Min Lulei nodded and said "yes".
You Kuangdi stood up and picked up his glass: "Comrades, County Mayor Min came to Changba for inspection today. We Changba people are honored. Let us respect County Mayor Min together, wishing County Mayor Min good health and a bright future."
Everyone stood up and toasted County Mayor Min. Min Lulei also stood up and took a sip: "Thank you everyone, this time I came here and saw that Changba Township did a good job. I hope that everyone will continue to work hard under the leadership of Township Mayor You."
Min Lulei only mentioned You Kuangdi, and the people on Xu Ping's side were not very good-looking.
