That morning, Li Yongchang and Liu Yuncai jointly wrote a letter of recommendation and submitted it to the province through special channels. The content of the letter of recommendation was very simple, that is, the workload of the Lanhai Municipal Government was huge and they hoped that the provincial leaders could do it as soon as possible.
To recruit a new deputy mayor for the Lanhai Municipal Government, Li Yongchang and Liu Yuncai unanimously believed that Comrade Ma Xiaoyao was very capable and a rare talent. They hoped that the provincial leaders could make an exception and promote Ma Xiaoyao as deputy mayor.
After receiving the letters of recommendation jointly submitted by Li Yongchang and Liu Yuncai, many provincial leaders were stunned. Li Yongchang and Liu Yuncai were notoriously at odds with each other. They had fought countless times. They were two people who clearly couldn't get along.
, actually unanimously agreed and recommended Ma Xiaoyao as deputy mayor. What happened? When did Li Yongchang and Liu Yuncai become so close?
To be honest, the provincial leaders do not want the municipal party secretary and the mayor to wear the same pants, because once the municipal party secretary and the mayor join forces, a powerful alliance will be formed, and the provincial leaders
It would be a little difficult to intervene in local and urban affairs.
In order to clear up the doubts in their hearts, the provincial leaders specially called Liu Yuncai and Li Yongchang to inquire. (Of course they were insinuating, and some things could not be asked directly.) After some insinuations, the provincial leaders were finally relieved. This time Li Yongchang
The reason why he and Liu Yuncai jointly recommended Ma Xiaoyao was purely a coincidence. The two did not reach any alliance, and their relationship was still as tense as before.
…
In the afternoon.
Office of the Director of Public Security.
Ma Xiaoyao and Zhang Shan were sitting on the sofa studying the case. Most of the time, Zhang Shan was analyzing the case, while Ma Xiaoyao was listening attentively. In terms of experience in solving cases, even ten Ma Xiaoyao could not compare to Zhang Shan, who had been a police officer for more than 20 years.
, but Ma Xiaoyao is thoughtful and can say something that inspires Zhang Shan from time to time.
"I didn't expect that a seemingly simple murder case would lead to so many inside stories." Zhang Shan sighed: "So far, dozens of officials have been put on file for investigation, seven of them died, and five died of suicide.
, two people died of murder, and several others attempted suicide... If we continue the investigation, we still don’t know how many people will be implicated?”
"I didn't expect this case to be such a big deal," Ma Xiaoyao said with an ugly expression.
"Those media have found news clues. Now the headlines of major media every day are reporting on Yuan Zhaonian's case..." Zhang Shan said with a bitter smile.
"Jingle Bell……"
A rapid ringing of the phone suddenly rang.
Ma Xiaoyao reached out and picked up the phone: "Hello...ah, it's Secretary Liu...what do you want from me?"
As soon as he heard the words "Secretary Liu", Zhang Shan immediately stood up and left the office consciously. It was not a good habit to eavesdrop on the leader's phone calls, and the leader would be bored.
"Xiao Ma, let me tell you some good news." Liu Yuncai's hearty laughter came from the microphone: "You will definitely be very happy after hearing this news."
"What good news?" Ma Xiaoyao asked doubtfully.
"Li Yongchang came to me today and said he wanted to recommend you to be the deputy mayor!" Liu Yuncai said with a smile: "I agreed on the spot, and then jointly submitted a letter of recommendation to the province with Li Yongchang, recommending you to be the deputy mayor of Lanhai City.
As the deputy mayor, if nothing unexpected happens, the province will not refuse."
After listening to Liu Yuncai's words, Ma Xiaoyao was stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Li Yongchang recommended me to be the deputy mayor? Did I hear it correctly?"
"You heard that right, it was indeed Li Yongchang who proposed that you be the deputy mayor." Liu Yuncai nodded.
"How is this possible? Li Yongchang obviously hates me, so how could he kindly recommend me to be the deputy mayor? Isn't this unscientific?" Ma Xiaoyao said in surprise.
"To be honest, I was also surprised, but Li Yongchang did bring it up," Liu Yuncai said.
"There must be a conspiracy here! Yes, there must be a conspiracy!" Ma Xiaoyao frowned tightly: "Li Yongchang definitely has no good intentions!"
"Whether Li Yongchang has good intentions or not, this is a good opportunity, you must seize it!" Liu Yuncai said with a smile: "How can you not want the benefit of Li Yongchang personally delivering it to your door?"
"But... I always feel a little uneasy..." Ma Xiaoyao said hesitantly.
"Xiao Ma, let me ask you something: Do you want to be the deputy mayor?" Liu Yuncai asked.
"Of course I thought about it." Ma Xiaoyao nodded without hesitation.
"Since you want to be the deputy mayor, then don't hesitate or back down." Liu Yuncai advised: "Even if Li Yongchang has no good intentions, you don't have to be afraid. With me watching, Li Yongchang doesn't dare to do anything blatantly.
It’s difficult for you, and with your adaptability, even if Li Yongchang wants to cause trouble for you, it will not be an easy task."
Ma Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Secretary Liu, you are right. How can we not refuse the benefits that are delivered to our door? I am determined to be the deputy mayor! I want to see what kind of medicine Li Yongchang sells in his gourd.
!" To be honest, Ma Xiaoyao has no longer wanted to work in the Public Security Bureau. Although the position of Public Security Director seems very popular and has a lot of power, it is very dangerous and can easily offend people.
Ma Xiaoyao has already done enough.
"It's the same sentence again: As long as you walk upright and sit upright, Li Yongchang can't do anything to you!" Liu Yuncai laughed.
The two chatted for more than half an hour before ending the call.
Ma Xiaoyao put down the phone and muttered to himself: "Li Yongchang, you'd better be more at ease with me. If you want to use insidious means to plot against me, I will never let you succeed!" This time Ma Xiaoyao really wronged Li.
Yongchang, Li Yongchang recommended Ma Xiaoyao as the deputy mayor. There was no conspiracy at all. He simply wanted to transfer Ma Xiaoyao from the Public Security Bureau and prevent Ma Xiaoyao from intervening in Yuan Zhaonian's case. The main purpose was to protect his son Li Ming.
…
Three days later, on March 15th, the province officially issued a notice: Ma Xiaoyao was appointed as the deputy mayor of Lanhai City!
After receiving the appointment notice, Ma Xiaoyao immediately called his wife Gu Li and told Gu Li the good news. Gu Li was overjoyed to learn that Ma Xiaoyao had become the deputy mayor. After talking to Gu Li on the phone
After that, Ma Xiaoyao called his parents again, and then Wang Aiqin, Huzi and others. Finally, he received a lot of blessings, especially Wang Aiqin, who clamored to treat Ma Xiaoyao to dinner in the evening, and the place was set to be in the villa where Wang Aiqin lived, but Ma Xiaoyao
Xiaoyao didn't dare to agree, mainly because Wang Aiqin was too enthusiastic and unrestrained, and Ma Xiaoyao couldn't bear it.
Zhang Shan was very happy to hear that Ma Xiaoyao became the deputy mayor, but he also felt a little disappointed. Ma Xiaoyao is a good leader and it is very pleasant to work under Ma Xiaoyao. Now Ma Xiaoyao is leaving the Public Security Bureau.
, Zhang Shan was very reluctant to part with it.
Not only Zhang Shan is reluctant to let go, but other police officers are also reluctant to let go. Even though Ma Xiaoyao has only worked in the Public Security Bureau for less than a year, Ma Xiaoyao has conquered these police officers with his personality charm. To be honest, Ma Xiaoyao is also reluctant to let go.
Get away from these guys.
The night before his transfer, Ma Xiaoyao invited a group of people to a hotel for dinner. Most of the policemen from the Public Security Bureau were almost there. The banquet was held until the early hours of the morning. Many people were very drunk, even Ma Xiaoyao was drunk.
, was carried home by Lei Dazhuang.
March 17th.
Ma Xiaoyao officially became the deputy mayor of Lanhai City and became a veritable deputy department-level cadre.
At ten o'clock in the morning, in the municipal government meeting room.
Li Yongchang and the four deputy mayors sat around the conference table and talked softly. The four deputy mayors were Sun Maoqi, Qin Mingyue, Lu Haifeng, and Ma Xiaoyao. Among them, Sun Maoqi was the executive deputy mayor, and his status was higher than that of the four deputy mayors.
The highest among mayors.
"I held a government office meeting today with only one purpose, which is to study with everyone to see which aspect of work would be better for Comrade Ma Xiaoyao to be responsible for." Li Yongchang said with a smile.
"Let me say a few words first." Sun Maoqi coughed, and then said: "Comrade Ma Xiaoyao has just served as deputy mayor and is not very familiar with the various tasks of the municipal government, so I think... let Ma Xiaoyao go first for the time being.
Comrade Ma Xiaoyao will be responsible for some simpler tasks. After Comrade Ma Xiaoyao is thoroughly familiar with the work of the municipal government, we will gradually increase the responsibilities for him."
"I agree with Vice Mayor Sun." Qin Mingyue nodded.
Lu Haifeng also nodded: "I also agree with Deputy Mayor Sun."
Ma Xiaoyao sighed secretly in his heart, and said to himself: It seems that Sun Maoqi and others don't like him very much. It is not easy for him to gain a foothold in the city government.
Li Yongchang nodded: "I also agree with Deputy Mayor Sun's point of view. Comrade Ma Xiaoyao has just assumed the role of deputy mayor and is not very familiar with the surrounding environment. It is indeed not suitable to be responsible for too complex work... Let's do it... Just
Let Comrade Ma Xiaoyao be responsible for the health education work for the time being. After Comrade Ma Xiaoyao becomes familiar with the working environment, he will gradually increase the responsibilities." Li Yongchang did not consult Ma Xiaoyao's opinions and attitude, and made the decision directly.
Ma Xiaoyao opened his mouth to say something, but he swallowed it back. Ma Xiaoyao was very aware of his current situation. He had just arrived and was alone. His words did not carry much weight at all, even if he expressed strong dissatisfaction now.
, and no one will care about him. If he wants to change the current situation, he must work harder and wait until the municipal government has a firm foothold before slowly developing his own power. Ma Xiaoyao is very confident in himself. As long as
Give him enough time, and he will be sure to trample Li Yongchang and others under his feet!
"Okay, that's all I have to say today. Let's break up the meeting." With a wave of his hand, Li Yongchang stood up and left the conference room. From the beginning to the end, Li Yongchang never spoke to Ma Xiaoyao.
Sun Maoqi and others also left one after another, and in the blink of an eye, Ma Xiaoyao was the only one left in the conference room.
