The person who asked Li Tianlan to meet was Zou Yuanshan, but the meeting place was in Building 1 of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Council.
This is Wu Zhengmin's residence.
Wu Zhengmin's entry into the cabinet has become a foregone conclusion. Zhongzhou's organizing department issued the document a few days ago. The entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have been violently shaken by this. In recent days, the directors' courtyard in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been extremely lively. Various departments at the provincial level
, there is an endless stream of main leaders at the prefectural and municipal levels below.
Wu Zhengmin has been running Jiangsu and Zhejiang for more than 20 years, and has served as the top leader for nearly 20 years. His deep foundation was fully demonstrated when he was about to leave office. Every car entering and exiting the director's compound was enough to illustrate this person.
The old man has almost superb control over Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Southeast Zhongzhou is very lively this year.
The most lively areas are Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Lively, but not chaotic.
Wu Zhengmin's departure from Jiangsu and Zhejiang will naturally have a huge impact, but his whereabouts are not unacceptable. He has entered the decision-making bureau, and is also the actual deputy prime minister of Zhongzhou. This is not a false title. He is in charge of Zhongzhou's business, finance, market economy, and quality in the cabinet.
Although he ranks last in the inspection, customs and tourism work, he does not have any real power in his hands. This is undoubtedly the result of the secret support of wealthy groups and Li Honghe. At the same time, it is announced to the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang that Wu Zhengmin has not lost power after leaving Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
, Such a move will not completely stabilize people's hearts, but at least it will not panic the entire officialdom of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
This is the first step to stabilize Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is a crucial step.
Only if Wu Zhengmin still holds the power can all of Li's subsequent actions be meaningful.
It was just after nine o'clock in the morning when Li Tianlan arrived at the director's compound on Shengfu Road, Lin'an.
Wu Zhengmin's secretary personally stood at the door to greet him.
The secretary had the same surname as Li Tianlan, and had the same first and last name. He was ordinary-looking, restrained and reserved. He reached out to stop Li Tianlan's car, opened the passenger door and got in. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, I am Li Tong. The secretary and the governor are here."
Take a walk in the courtyard and let me pick you up."
Li Tianlan smiled and nodded, his eyes calm.
He has been familiar with some information on Jiangsu and Zhejiang political figures in the past few days. As the secretary of the top leader in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Li Tong's information is naturally included in it. However, compared to the thirteen Jiangsu and Zhejiang directors, Li Tong's information is much more vague. The Beihai Wang family and
Kunlun City teamed up to attack Li Honghe. After that, a series of changes were rapid and hasty. Others were not prepared, and even Li himself was not prepared. In such a few days, it was completely unrealistic for Li Tianlan to integrate into the high-level circles of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He today
Coming here all the time is a bit like chasing a duck. Since Wu Zhengmin has never met him, it is naturally difficult for him to understand what kind of person Li Tong is.
The black Audi slowly drove into the gate of the director's compound.
At the same time, an Audi with a Yongcheng license plate slowly drove out.
Two cars passed each other.
Li Tianlan glanced at it.
It’s the No. 1 train in Yongcheng.
"It's Secretary Ji's car from Yongcheng."
Li Tong reminded him softly. He looked at the leaving Audi outside the window with undisguised envy in his eyes.
"Secretary Ji Ankang of Yongcheng."
Li Tianlan smiled and said that among the information he studied, the deputy secretary of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Ji Ankang from Yongcheng, could be said to be the most important, so he could understand the envy in Li Tong's eyes.
Because Ji Ankang can be regarded as Li Tong's predecessor, Wu Zhengmin's first secretary at that time, and he can be said to be his confidant. Wu Zhengmin recommended Ji Ankang to the top management as the top leader in Yongcheng. At the same time, in order to check and balance Wang Jingxin of Lin'an,
He was pushed to the position of deputy secretary. In today's Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Ji Ankang seems to be a prince, but in fact he is the veritable third-in-command in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The information given by Qin Weibai combined with Li Honghe clearly pointed out that when Wu Zhengmin left Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as long as Ji Ankang was kept, Zou Yuanshan would almost be in an invincible position in the competition with Wang Jingxin.
Li Tianlan drove the car thoughtfully.
The car passed by Building 1 of the Director's Courtyard and arrived at Qipan Mountain in the Director's Courtyard.
The trees on Qipan Mountain are green, but they don't give people a sense of vitality. Instead, they look a bit desolate amidst the greenery.
There is a chessboard temple on the chessboard.
Li Tianlan walked west along the mountain road, and finally saw two men standing side by side in front of an ancient mountain wall.
Wu Zhengmin, whose hair is a little gray and hasn't had time to dye it black, is talking about something.
Zou Yuanshan, the new governor who came to Jiangsu and Zhejiang from the Central Plains, stood in front of Wu Zhengmin, high-spirited and high-spirited.
The entire volume of the Amitabha Sutra was engraved on the mountain wall behind them. The handwriting was ancient and clear. Li Tianlan looked at this picture quietly. Even though he was a slow guy in all aspects, he looked at the two people in his sight.
As a man, he could clearly feel the solemn atmosphere that was filled with power and seemed extremely heavy.
He took a deep breath, opened the door, got out of the car, and walked over.
When Zou Yuanshan saw Li Tianlan, he smiled and waved.
This is the second meeting between the two.
But unlike the approachable brother-in-law who first met in the Huating Governing Courtyard, Zou Yuanshan is now steady and strong, with dignity in every move he makes. The only thing that remains unchanged is that the eyes he looks at Li Tianlan are still kind.
He shook hands with Li Tianlan, then introduced with a chuckle: "Tianlan, this is Secretary Wu."
Li Tianlan did not reach out to Wu Zhengmin.
He came to the other party, bent down seriously, bowed and called Grandpa Wu.
Wu Zhengmin is an old friend of Li Honghe.
Grandpa Wu deserves this no matter what.
This was the talent that Li Honghe valued most at that time, and his performance never let anyone down.
During the more than 20 years since the collapse of the Li family, facing the eager gaze of the Wang family in Beihai, and facing the open and covert attacks of other groups, they have always stayed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, guarding the last and most important foundation for the Li family, not only
He stood firm and could even promote his initial secretary to the third-in-command position.
Every storm in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for more than 20 years has fully demonstrated Wu Zhengmin's unfathomable political wisdom. If the Li family was still at its peak glory, how could Wu Zhengmin be able to stay in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? Even if he aspired to the top
Cabinet is not impossible.
Wisdom, means, courage, loyalty.
Wu Zhengmin can hardly find any flaws.
This is the real strong man.
He waited for more than 20 years of silence and persistence to reach this situation, and finally gained the respect of everyone.
Such silence is even more powerful than the desperate roar of too many people.
"Why be so polite?"
Wu Zhengmin smiled and helped Li Tianlan. His eyes looked a little emotional. Looking at Li Tianlan's young face, he said softly: "Today's situation is not easy. I will rely on you from now on."
"Grandpa Wu, don't worry."
Li Tianlan's voice was very soft, but there was no hint of guilt, only determination.
"With this current situation, Jiangsu and Zhejiang can only be left to the distant mountains to watch for the time being."
Wu Zhengmin sighed: "I have no other meaning in calling you here today. I just want to express an attitude to the outside world. Even if I leave Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are successors to the Li family, and there is one who is good enough for the wealthy group to build their next generation with you as the core."
A generation of team, only in this way can these people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang continue to maintain confidence and hope. If nothing happens in the afternoon, you and Yuan Shan will accompany me for a walk. I estimate that I will meet a lot of people."
"good."
Li Tianlan nodded, as calm as water.
"Ankang has just arrived. He has made it clear that he will support Yuanshan's work. I left Jiangsu and Zhejiang. As long as Ankang is still here, the problem will not be big within three years. Tianlan, time is already very tight. What's next?
Three years are extremely important to you, me, Yuanshan, and the entire Li family, and all of this depends on your performance in the next three years."
Wu Zhengmin looked at Li Tianlan with gentle eyes: "Are you confident?"
Li Tianlan nodded silently.
He understood what Wu Zhengmin meant.
Three years from now will be Zhongzhou’s once-in-a-decade major change. If nothing unexpected happens, Wu Zhengmin will definitely retire. After all, his age has already exceeded the limit. Once Wu Zhengmin retires, the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will change unpredictably.
At that time, whether Zou Yuanshan, Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, can take advantage of the situation and take office will become the key among the keys.
If Zou Yuanshan cannot stay in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Li family is bound to be in trouble again. Even if Zou Yuanshan can get a position that is not inferior to that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Beihai Wang family that regains control of Jiangsu and Zhejiang will not let the Li family have a good life. Zou Yuanshan
If he is forced to leave, it will even affect the layout of the wealthy group.
This is truly a situation where a single move affects the whole body.
It was difficult for Li to make any real big moves in Jiangsu and Zhejiang within three years.
So everything fell on Li Tianlan.
Three years later will be the real test of Li's life and death.
Which step Li Tianlan can take can even directly determine the final outcome of the Li family.
And what he has to do is not only to ensure that his martial arts progress will advance rapidly, but also to rapidly expand his power. At the very least, he must ensure that Zou Yuanshan rises to the top in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
This is the bottom line and the biggest goal.
"Grandpa Wu, don't worry."
Li Tianlan took a deep breath, and his tone was not exciting: "From now on, everything depends on me."
Wu Zhengmin nodded and said meaningfully: "When the pawn crosses the river, there is no way out. He can only move forward."
"Everyone is a pawn."
Zou Yuanshan said softly.
The general trend is like a chessboard.
Every turbulence on the chessboard is a dense interlacing of black and white, just like Go.
But specifically about Li.
Li's general trend is also a chessboard.
But because they have too few chess pieces, each chess piece must have a more distinct role.
Just like chess.
Wu Zhengmin crossed the river from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Youzhou.
Zou Yuanshan crosses the river from the Central Plains to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
When Li Tianlan left Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he also crossed the river.
They are all pawns crossing the river.
It's all about progress and never retreat.
On Qipan Mountain.
In front of Qipan Temple.
The three of them stood quietly, like the three pawns on a chessboard crossing the river first.
Before we reach the end, we must move forward together and there is no turning back.
