"Remember, you must keep it a secret. If the news leaks out, your chance will be gone." Li Yuanlang warned Zhan Xiaoqiang with a serious expression.

"I understand." Zhan Xiaoqiang walked out of Li Yuanlang's office and sat on the chair with his hands on his chin, thinking for a long time...

At the end of the year, Li Yuanlang was so busy that he hit his head on the back of his head.

Calling Xu Guangshui over, in addition to explaining some matters, Li Yuanlang specifically mentioned the city's representative conference to be held in January next year.

"Guang Shui, the penmen of the Comprehensive Section 1 have to start writing the government work report I will present at the meeting in advance."

Taking the water glass from Li Yuanlang, Xu Guangshui nodded, "I will supervise this matter."

"Thanks a lot."

Xu Guangshui smiled and said, "Why are you so polite?"

Li Yuanlang said: "Seeing that you have always had dark circles under your eyes recently, it must be caused by staying up late. The municipal government office has such a big job, and you help me share the burden. I am not being polite, but I am sincerely grateful."

Xu Guangshui was speechless.

Li Yuanlang took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and smoked it slowly to make the tobacco more compact. "I've been so busy lately. It's rare that we have time to sit down and talk. Guang Shui, I've always had a question. I went there not long ago.

On the road to the provincial capital, I almost got into an accident with two off-road vehicles."

"Only you and Zhan Xiaoqiang know the news about my departure. How did Miao Lianggeng get it?"

Observing Xu Guangshui's expression carefully, he found nothing strange.

Li Yuanlang continued: "Of course, I am relieved about you, but Zhan Xiaoqiang...Guang Shui, please help me analyze it."

"This..." Xu Guangshui held the tea cup with both hands, rubbing his fingertips back and forth on the cup handle, and hesitated.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to hide it between you and me."

After a while, Xu Guangshui asked back: "Mayor Li, do you mean you are worried about fighting against Xiaoqiang?"

"That's not true." Li Yuanlang picked up the cigarette, Xu Guangshui lit it for him and puffed on the smoke. Li Yuanlang sighed: "Generally speaking, Xiaoqiang's performance is acceptable. It's just that the young man has just started working. He is a rookie. He has ability.

Inexperienced.”

Xu Guangshui savored Li Yuanlang's words and asked: "You mean... it was Zhan Xiaoqiang who revealed the news?"

Li Yuanlang avoided answering, but gave another interpretation, "Guang Shui, you are an old secretary-general with many years of work experience. You should help Xiaoqiang more and care more about him so that he can grow up as soon as possible."

After Xu Guangshui left Li Yuanlang's office, he thought over and over again about Li Yuanlang's words and finally understood Mayor Li's true intentions.

What kind of help and concern is just to let yourself pay more attention to Zhan Xiaoqiang.

New Year's Day is coming soon.

During the three-day holiday, Li Yuanlang did not choose to go back to Hanyue Province to see his wife and children.

Because it snowed heavily in Haixin City, flights were grounded.

I have no choice but to express my heartfelt feelings to my wife and son through video.

That night, Kuang Zaohui took the initiative to come to the door with wine and food.

"I know you are alone, so I will drink and chat with you. You will be welcome." Kuang Zaohui half-joked.

"Of course you're welcome, but if you've already prepared the food and wine, I won't be able to show off my cooking skills."

Kuang Zaohui laughed and said, "Mayor Li Da can also cook? I don't believe it, you can only cook noodles."

"Don't use such a questioning tone, okay, just wait, I'll show you my skills briefly." Li Yuanlang opened the refrigerator, used the available ingredients, and was busy in the kitchen. In less than half an hour, he cooked two dishes.

One meat and one vegetarian, it looks quite tempting.

"Try it." Li Yuanlang said while explaining.

Kuang Zaohui picked up the chopsticks, took a bite each and chewed slowly, "Well, let's not talk about it, it tastes really good, moderately salty and fresh, it's okay."

"Everyone praises virtuous women for being able to work both in the hall and in the kitchen. As a grown man, I would like to add this to you: you are able to handle both the hall and the kitchen, and you can also play officialdom."

Li Yuanlang was stunned, "Zao Hui, your last sentence meant something."

After filling Kuang Zaohui's glass of wine, Li Yuanlang continued: "If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall and tell me your reason for coming."

Kuang Zaohui took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "You, your eyes are so poisonous that I can't hide it even if I want to."

"Indeed, I have something to say. Yesterday, Guang Shui came to me and complained to me. He said that you don't trust him as much as before and feel that you are alienating him, and..."

After a slight hesitation, Kuang Zaohui looked at Li Yuanlang's face and said, "Besides, he is still very angry. You sent someone to follow him secretly."

Li Yuanlang narrowed his eyes, fiddled with chopsticks in his hands, lowered his head and said nothing.

Kuang Zaohui thought that Li Yuanlang was reflecting, so he strengthened his tone and said: "Mayor Li, I know Guang Shui. He has no bad intentions except being greedy."

"What happened to you on the road to the provincial capital, I can guarantee that Guang Shui has no reason to hurt you. On the contrary, Zhan Xiaoqiang has a bad reputation. Guang Shui recommended him in the first place because of the reputation and reputation of Chu Province."

Due to his status, he has no choice but to do so."

Li Yuanlang slowly raised his lowered head and faced Kuang Zaohui directly, "How did Guang Shui know that I sent someone to follow him? Did someone reveal the information to him or..."

Kuang Zaohui smiled bitterly and said: "Mayor Li, you sent someone wrong, but you sent Zhan Xiaoqiang. This kid usually shrinks his head like a little spy, stalks Guang Shui, doesn't follow close enough, and even wraps himself up like a mummy, wearing

Wear a big mask and big sunglasses.”

"Think about it, this dress itself can easily attract attention. How could Guang Shui not notice it? Catching him on the spot would be a trick."

"Because of this, I almost sent him to the police station. The kid was frightened, and then he revealed that it was your idea."

"Mayor Li, I don't understand. You asked Zhan Xiaoqiang to follow Guang Shui, and at the same time you asked Guang Shui to secretly investigate Zhan Xiaoqiang. Do you want to find out who is who from the mutual investigation between them?

He's the one who betrayed your whereabouts."

Li Yuanlang nodded and said: "You have already analyzed it, why are you still asking me?"

"Zao Hui, I know you have a good personal relationship with Guang Shui. Guang Shui really helped me a lot when I first came to Deping City."

"But have you noticed that he has been having some contact with Jian Mingkuan recently, and often goes to Jian Mingkuan's private club. There is also Wu Ge. They travel together. This is an ironclad fact."

"Of course, I have no objection to the interactions between government officials and businessmen. There is no problem with normal interactions. However, it is a big problem if they get mixed up."

"Jian Mingkuan is a businessman and has entangled relationships with government officials. Just last time about his son Jian Rui, Deputy Secretary An of the province and Secretary Chen of our city interceded on his behalf.

It’s not simple.”

Kuang Zaohui interjected: "You said that both Wu Ge and Guang Shui often go to Jian Mingkuan Club? It's strange. Jian Rui targeted Wu Ge at the beginning and beat Wu Ge and his father-in-law. How could he get along with Jian Mingkuan?

Close? It’s incredible.”

"Either I say, people will change, and they will change according to the environment and factors. Zaohui, today's light and water are different from before."

"It's not that I'm alienated from him, it's that he thinks I've changed and ignores everything I say and do."

Li Yuanlang's last words immediately made Kuang Zaohui deep in thought.

However, from the information revealed by Kuang Zaohui, Li Yuanlang could roughly conclude who was the person who betrayed him.

When he went to work on the 4th, Xu Guangshui sent the first draft of the government work report.

Li Yuanlang took a rough look and said: "I'll make a decision after I read it. Guangshui, the city's congress will be held soon, and your office will probably be busy for a while. Go back and tell the comrades, please work hard and wait until the congress is over.

I give credit to my comrades."

"Mayor Li, thank you for your support and understanding." Xu Guangshui said: "The writers of the Comprehensive Section 1 took advantage of the New Year's Day holiday and worked overtime for several days to get this report out."

Li Yuanlang sighed: "I have been a secretary before and understand their difficulties."

"In addition, you must take responsibility for the reception of the conference. This conference is very important, and there must be no mistakes."

"Okay, I'll go and arrange it right away."

Xu Guangshui put away his paper and pen, stood up and said goodbye. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stood down, turned around and looked at Li Yuanlang, his mouth slightly opened, as if he had something to say.

"Is there anything else?" Li Yuanlang raised his head and glanced at him.

"I...have nothing to do." Xu Guangshui hesitated, turned around and walked away.
